February 25, 2014 – Homilies on Contraception
I often tell people that most American Catholics have never heard a homily explaining Church teaching on the intrinsic evil of unnatural birth control, and the benefits of Natural Family Planning. But, with the recent publication of a 2nd edition of A Preachable Message, those homilies are bound to increase. In fact, some of the more recently ordained priests are eager to spread these truths that have the power to transform marriages and families from misery to joy.
Sue Ek of BOMA-USA, publisher, and Dorothy Duganzik, editor, along with Fr Matthew Habiger and possibly other priests who contributed to the book will be our guests on this week's "The Quest for a Culture of Life in America".
Fr Habiger is a Benedictine priest who with Fr Daniel McCaffrey represent NFP Outreach. They travel the world teaching priests and bishops how to speak about God's plan for love, marriage and children–from the pulpit. According to a study by Mary Rice Hasson and Michele Hill, virtually all Catholic women receive their instruction in the Faith exclusively from the weekend homily. In other words, if they don't hear a homily on birth control, NFP, and the blessings of children, they will never know what the Church really teaches. They (and their families) deserve better.

February 18, 2014 – Fr. Sauppe
Fr Sauppe's 2013 article about the demographic winter that forced closing of his parish school received lots of attention because it brought focus to a national problem affecting most communities and the Church–not enough children. See www.onemoresoul.com/pdfs.
If the AVERAGE woman in a country consistently births fewer than 2.1 children in her life time, the country's population will eventually decline. This population shrinkage is already in process throughout Europe.
In "The Church in the Modern World as I lived It", The Bellarmine Forum (Winter 2013), Father shares his experience as a seminarian and priest/pastor in the post Vatican Council II Catholic Church. His experience verifies that some of the good of VCII was sabotaged by efforts to hitch change agendas to VCII's call to open the windows and let fresh air into the Church. Unfortunately, the infiltration included a "progressive wind" and the "smoke of Satan" that joined other events to weaken the Church in modern times.
Fr Sauppe is taking steps to blunt these evil forces and turn his small part of Church back to a renewed sense of God in the liturgy and the family. In this effort, he draws encouragement from the 1985 Extraordinary Synod on "The Twentieth Anniversary of the Conclusion of the Second Vatican Council".
Since Father is also a Mariologist (working toward the STD at the International Marian Research Institute), I can ask him Mary is guiding the Church in the Modern World.

February 4, 2014 – Dr. Paul Byrne
Dr. Paul Byrne is a pediatrician and neonatologist from Toledo who early in his career pioneered the development of ventilators and other medical devices tailored to children born pre-term.
He is also a world renowned expert on, and opponent of, "brain death" for determining actual death, and has spoken and testified in numerous venues including several courts of law and the Vatican. So, Dr Paul is the perfect mix of pediatrician and brain death expert to help us understand two recent situations, including his personal intervention for the parents of Jahi–the 13 year-old California girl who had cardiac arrest during a tonsillectomy and was declared brain dead by hospital staff. But her parents challenged their diagnosis, and with assistance from Dr Byrne, were able to have Jahi transferred to a medical facility that would insert a feeding tube to prevent starvation.
Another current case from Texas has a pregnant woman on life support to save her baby, as required by Texas law. But her husband sued the hospital insisting that life support be withdrawn, thus terminating both the mother and baby. A judge ruled in the husband's favor. Mother and daughter are now deceased.

January 14, 2014 – John Preiss
John Preiss is President of the Fatima Family Apostolate International, founded in 1986 by the late Father Robert J. Fox. The mission of the Fatima Family Apostolate International is to promote the message of Fatima and the sanctification of family life.
John is also the Editor of the quarterly magazine the Immaculate Heart Messenger. He has been interviewed on Catholic radio and recently on Vatican Radio about the consecration by Pope Francis. He has written several articles on the message of Fatima and on family life. He is also the author of the new children's book, The Miracle of the Dancing Sun at Fatima. Since November of 2013 this book has sold close to 1000 copies.
John and his wife Teresa currently reside in Hanceville, AL with their six children: Mark, Lauren, Brenden, John David, Anna Sophia and Ella.
John will be our third Guest speaking about a particular Marian apparition, Our Lady of Fatima. The last two programs featured Fr Peter Stryker on Our Lady of Good Help and Kevin McCarthy on Our Lady of America.
I have asked John to tell us about Our Lady of Fatima-dates, location, seers, miracles, warnings, promises, etc. How are her apparitions in 1917 still relevant in the 21st Century, particularly to the Quest for a Culture of Life in America and the world?
What is the nature/validity of the controversy over the consecration of Russia and the World to Mary's Immaculate Heart?
I am especially interested in Mary's promise that Russia will be converted. It seems that is happening based on information I found at www.excerptsofinri.com and Life Site News.
We will be drawing some comparisons between Vladimir Putin's Russia and Barack Obama's USA.

January 7, 2013 – Kevin McCarthy
We were expecting Kevin McCarthy to call in two weeks ago, but his phone was out-of-order, so he didn't call, and I had to "wing-it". Last week's Guest Fr Peter Stryker educated us about Our Lady of Good Help and her shrine in Champion WI. This week we will try again to have Kevin teach us about Our Lady of America, the Immaculate Virgin.
Kevin is a Civil and Canon Lawyer who has dedicated his life to improving access to Our Lady of America, the Immaculate Virgin. "Our Lady of America, the Immaculate Virgin", is a title for Mary that is not as well know as "Our Lady of Guadalupe–Our Lady of the Americas", the Empress of all the Americas, with a message of unity. Our Lady of America is specific to the United States of America, and her message is a call for purity. And who would deny this pressing need in our country plagued as it is by all manner of sexual sins that are even promoted by government health care mandates for free access to contraception, abortion and sterilization.
Kevin will be able to trace the story of Mary's locutions and apparitions as "Our Lady of America" to Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil), of the Precious Blood Sisters of Dayton Ohio. Sister Mary Mildred also experienced apparitions and messages from Our Lord, St Joseph, St. Gabriel and St. Michael. Sister's spiritual adviser for over 40 years was Father/Msgr/Bishop (Evansville IN)/Archbishop (Cincinnati) Paul Leibold of Dayton Ohio.
Sister Mary was asked by The Blessed Virgin Mary to draw a picture according to the vision of Our Lady of America and have a statue constructed accordingly and placed after a solemn procession into the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, in Washington, DC, and honored there as Our Lady of America. Our Lady says that if this is done, the United States of America would turn back toward morality and the shrine would become a place of "wonders." Sister Mary Ephrem, died on January 10th, 2000, near Fostoria Ohio.

December 31, 2013 – Fr. Peter Stryker
Fr Peter Stryker is a native of Cincinnati. After a stint providing hospitality to Westin Hotel guests, he followed God's call to priesthood with the Fathers of Mercy and now provides hospitality to pilgrims visiting Our Lady of Good Help Shrine near Green Bay Wisconsin. For over 150 years people have come to this site where the Blessed Mother appeared to Adele Brise , asking her to teach the catechism to children of French and Belgium descent. Adele succeeded in raising the funds to build a school, convent and chapel at the apparition site, which has become a place of physical and spiritual healing.
It was on October 9, 1859, that the Queen of Heaven appeared to Adele Brise in Champion (Robinsonville), Wisconsin.The apparitions to "Sister" Adele took place 20 months after Mary appeared in Lourdes France to St Bernadette.
When Adele asked the apparition, "In God's name, who are you and what do you want of me?", the lady in white replied,
"I am the Queen of Heaven, who prays for the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same. You received Holy Communion this morning, and that is well. But you must do more. Make a general confession, and offer Communion for the conversion of sinners. If they do not convert and do penance, my Son will be obliged to punish them."
The Blessed Mother went on to say, "Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation." Adele replied, "But how shall I teach them who know so little myself?" Mary replied, "Teach them their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, and how to approach the sacraments; that is what I wish you to do. Go and fear nothing. I will help you."
On December 8, 2010, the feast day of the Immaculate Conception, Diocese of Green Bay Bishop David Ricken gave official Church approval of the Marian apparitions that occurred in the month of October at Robinsonville, now known as Champion, Wisconsin. The Bishop stated, "I declare with moral certainty and in accord with the norms of the Church that the events, apparitions and locutions given to Adele Brise in October of 1859 do exhibit the substance of supernatural character, and I do hereby approve these apparitions as worthy of belief (although not obligatory) by the Christian faithful."
This declaration makes the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help at Champion the first and only Marian shrine in the United States that is on the site of an approved apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

December 10, 2013 – Mary Eberstadt
The parallel declines of the family and the Christian Religion in the West (Europe and North America) has long fascinated academicians and sociologists. The debate has typically been over whether family decline caused religion decline, or religion's decline caused family decline. In How the West Really Lost God, Mary Eberstadt makes the case for religion and family being so intertwined that neither can change without a consequent change in the other.
This influence of family on religion, Mary calls the "Family Factor"–the active effect that family participation has on religious belief and practice.
The American Catholic Church has certainly been in decline for several decades as manifested by closed schools and parishes, fewer vocations to priesthood and religious life, and a mere 25% of Catholics attending weekend Mass.
Family decline is equally evident in the 50% divorce rate, 40% out-of-wedlock birth rate, push for same-sex "marriage", and the continuing abortion of one out of every four pregnancies. Can Mary convince us that these facts are intertwined?
What does the future hold for the institutions of family (marriage and children), and Church? Mary offers two possibilities–one pessimistic, another optimistic? What do you think? More Churches closing, even smaller families, or a rebirth, a new evangelization, and stable families?

December 03, 2013 – Katie Short
That is the title of a recent symposium at Biola University in California, and it is our topic of the day on "The Quest for a Culture of Life in America". I had not heard of "stealth" euthanasia until Katie Short alerted me to this event. Katie is a wife, mother, and staff attorney with Life Legal Defense Foundation in California. She participated in this symposium; she will be our Guest today.
Stealth–not disclosing one's true ideology, affiliations, or positions–euthanasia is the intentional killing of vulnerable humans by covert means while projecting an image of loving care. It can happen in home, hospital, or hospice. The killer/s may be family members, medical personnel, or other "care" providers. The hospice industry is a mixture of truly compassionate and ethical care providers and rogue organizations/individuals whose primary focus is on money. Why is "hospice" one of the fastest growing industries in America?
This is too huge a topic to be covered in 50 minutes, but today we can open the subject and provide some guidance to those who are entrusted with the care of a loved one.

November 26, 2013 – Day Gardner
All pro-lifers (actually all Americans) should know that African-American (A-A) babies are targeted for abortion by Planned Parenthood, and the abortion industry as a whole. In other words, the legacy of Margaret Sanger and racism continues into the 21st Century. We should all know that a disproportionate share of abortions is done on A-A women. Is abortion so acceptable in the A-A culture? Are there A-A leaders trying to stop this genocide?
Yes! There are many truly great A-A pro-life leaders and we are blessed to have Day Gardner as our Guest Tuesday the 26th. She made history as Miss Delaware when she became the first black woman to be named as a semi-finalist of the internationally renowned Miss America Pageant, breaking through numerous racial and stereotypical roadblocks for others to follow.
Today, Gardner is the founder and President of The National Black Pro Life Union, Associate Director of National Pro Life Center on Capitol Hill and an executive member of the National
Clergy Council. She is a sought after speaker, author and an articulate spokesperson for the pro-life movement.

November 19, 2013 – Tara Shaver
Albuquerque (ABQ) New Mexico is the late-term-abortion capital of the USA because there are virtually no restrictions on abortion in New Mexico. That may change today (Tuesday, 19 November) because the good people of ABQ signed enough petitions to get a"Pain Capable Abortion Ban" on the ballot for today's election. If this passes, ABQ may be the only city in America with a municipal ordinance restricting abortion.
ABQ is thus the current location for pro-life forces to gather. Do you remember the Texas State legislature battles over pro-life legislation in Austin this past summer, and the Kermit Gosnell trial in Pennsylvania earlier this year?
Tara Shaver and friends are leading the effort to ban abortions of pain capable children–20 weeks post-fertilization–in Albuquerque. I encourage you to listen to this amazing development–opening a new front in the battle to protect pre-born children and their mothers–by way of a municipal ordinance. How did this young mother get involved? Who are her allies? What national attention is focused on ABQ today? And will this new approach be spreading to your city? Are you willing to be in the fight for life in your home town?

November 12, 2013 – Darcy Hemstad, RN
Darcy Hemstad, RN, helps women and their husbands be healthy so they can be parents. To my way of thinking, infertility is not the disease but rather a symptom of some unhealthy condition/s in either the male, the female, or both. Again, to my way of thinking, there are three different ways that gynecological problems are treated: a) relief of symptoms by prescribing the birth control pill–typical gynecologist, b) diagnose and treat underlying problems with surgery and hormone therapy, primarily progesterone–NaProTechnology protocols established by Dr Tom Hilgers, and c) ART–Artificial Reproductive Technologies that ignore the underlying problems by resort to immoral human creation in the laboratory.
But Darcy has another way for treating gyn problems that indicate ill health and dysfunction including infertility. Her approach uses a combination of Billings Ovulation Method Charting and dietary changes to foster general good health, including natural fertility.
Every woman has experienced gyn problems or knows someone who has gyn problems, including infertility. I believe you will be amazed by her patient's success testimonials, which you can see at thefertilitygirl.com

November 5, 2013 – Fr. Thomas Loya
This week (as last week with Deacon Harold) we have a Radio Maria presenter as our Guest on the Quest. Fr Loya's program–Beyond the Veil–is immediately before "The Quest . . .". Every week when I call in I enjoy the tail end of "Beyond the Veil". What I especially like about Fr Loya is his complete understanding of contraception's disruption of families, society and the Church. I have asked Father to help us understand this phenomenon of the broader impact of contraception on our culture.
Because he is a Byzantine priest, we can learn something about the Orthodox branch of Christianity and efforts to reunite East and West so the Church may breath with both lungs–what a concept! What have recent popes done to reverse the Great Schism of 1054? What issues divide us? Why not unity?
Fr Loya promotes and teaches the Theology of the Body through the Tabor Life Institute. Thus he is one of many TotB teachers that have their own slant on blessed John Paul II's work, and naturally there are some differences of interpretation and approach. If we have time we want to get Father's perspective on these differences.

October 29, 2013 – Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers
No sub-set of America has suffered the "culture of death" more than African-Americans. Their children are targeted for abortion, their women are taken advantage of and their families are suffering due to fatherlessness, poverty, and poor education. Of course, these are not independent variables–they feed each other. What can be done to reverse this tragedy?
Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is a permanent deacon for the Archdiocese of Portland Oregon and a full-time Catholic evangelist. He was raised Catholic ans spent 4 years in a Benedictine seminary. Now he is married to Colleen and they are parents to 4 children.
Deacon Herald has been on EWTN, travels extensively giving retreats and lectures on the family, the culture and the challenges facing the Catholic Church in America. He is outspoken in his conviction that contraception and abortion are devastating the family, society and the Church.
I pray that Deacon Harold will have some practical evangelization tips that apply to all Americans. We need to build up our parishes. We need new life in abundance. Three of every four self-professed Catholics do not regularly attend Mass. What will it take for them to come back? What can we do to help them?

October 22, 2013 – Clarke Forsythe
Clarke Forsythe is currently Senior Counsel for AUL and author of Abuse of Discretion: The Inside Story of Roe v. Wade, from Encounter Books. His twenty-seven years of service to AUL includes founding and directing the AUL Project in Law & Bioethics, serving for six years as Vice President and General Counsel, overseeing AUL's nationwide litigation and legislation strategy, and serving as President for ten years.
He also wrote Politics for the Greatest Good: The Case for Prudence in the Public Square, making the case for persistence and incremental victories as a prudential, ethical and realistic path to achieving significant change.
Forsythe has argued cases before federal and state courts and has testified before Congress and state legislatures. He is also a prolific writer on pro-life law issues, having published more than 15 law review articles and book chapters, as well as articles in First Things, the Wall Street Journal, and National Review Online. Other leading newspapers that have published his articles or quoted him include The New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Times, the Washington Post,Chicago Tribune, and the Wall Street Journal. Clarke blogs frequently on "The Road to Roe"
In 2006, Forsythe received an M.A. in Bioethics from Trinity International University.
Clarke has a law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law and a B.A. in Political Science from Allegheny College.
Preliminary Discussion "Abuse of Discretion" is a legal phrase meaning, A failure to take into proper consideration the facts and law relating to a particular matter; an arbitrary or unreasonable departure from precedent and settled judicial custom. Where a trial court must exercise discretion in deciding a question, it must do so in a way that is not clearly against logic and the evidence. An improvident exercise of discretion is an error of law and grounds for reversing a decision on appeal. It does not, however, necessarily amount to bad faith, intentional wrong, or misconduct by the trial judge.
Abuse of Discretion… is based on 20 years of research, including an examination of the papers of eight of the nine Justices who voted in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Abuse of Discretion is a critical review of the behind-the-scenes deliberations that went into the Supreme Court's abortion decisions and how the mistakes made by the Justices in 1971-1973 have led to the turmoil we see today in legislation, politics, and public health. The first half of the book looks at the mistakes made by the Justices, based on the case files, the oral arguments, and the Justices' papers. The second half of the book critically examines the unintended consequences of the abortion decisions in law, politics, and women's health.
Why do the abortion decisions remain so controversial after almost 40 years, despite more than 50,000,000 abortions, numerous presidential elections, and a complete turnover in the Justices? Why did such a sweeping decision-with such important consequences for public health, producing such prolonged political turmoil-come from the Supreme Court in 1973?
Answering those questions is the aim of this book. The controversy over the abortion decisions has hardly subsided, and the reasons why are to be found in the Justices' deliberations in 1971-1972 that resulted in the unprecedented decision they issued.
Will these abuses eventually lead to overturning Roe and Doe?

There are very many assaults on the Culture of Life in America in this Respect Life month of October, 2013. I am very pleased to offer you another valiant warrior working to stem the tide in California (fighting authorizing non-physicians to do abortions), Birmingham (closing abortion mills), and all over (securing freedom of speech rights near abortion mills).
Dana is the attorney President and Executive Director of Life Legal Defense Foundation, based in California. She spend her days traveling from court to court using the law to protect children and their mothers from the gross abuse of abortion and its aftermath. She will be telling us what she does and how she came to her convictions.
The Affordable Care Act is now being implemented against the wishes of many/most Americans. I'll be asking Dana about the status of the hundreds of lawsuits that are attempting to halt this assault on our religious freedom and true health care.

October 1, 2013 – James and Kathleen Littleton
James and Kathleen Littleton are the co-founders of Forming Faithful Families. They offer a parish-based multi-session program by that title. However, the program that caught my attention was their approach for encouraging married couples to be open to another child–"one more baby for Jesus". As the Director of "One More Soul", I'm always on the hunt for materials and ideas for helping couples be open to life. After all, if we are to have a Culture of Life, we need more LIFE–more babies–lots more.
James and Kathleen Littleton, are parents of nineteen children, fourteen living on earth, ages twenty-seven to six, and five living in heaven. (And they regretfully started their marriage out as contracepting, nominal Catholics.) They are Catholic reverts, speakers, spiritual guides, radio guests, regular columnists for Catholic.net, and co-authors of Better by the Dozen, Plus Two, subtitled Anecdotes and a Philosophy of Life from a Family of Sixteen, Better by the Dozen Plus Two, Part Two, subtitled Lessons Learned Through Loss and Leukemia by Kathleen Littleton (2012), and Healed Through Cancer by James Littleton (2012), available at their website Forming Faithful Families.
I am certain that you will find their life story fascinating. How does a couple get from a contraceptive mentality to a providential mentality culminating in 19 children? I need to know that. And, I think we all do if we are going to be evangelists in the United States of America

September 24, 2013 – Seven Mosher, President of Population Research Institute
Steven Mosher is President of the Population Research Institute and an astute demographer who blew the whistle on China's "one-child-policy" and forced abortion approach to implementing that policy. On today's program he reviews his China experience as a Stanford U graduate student and then describes the research that PRI has done that raises serious questions concerning Catholic charities involvement with the US Agency for International Development (USIAD). USAID is well known to be a major promoter and distributor of birth control all over the world. Its approach to assisting poor countries is to reduce their population by coercive contraceptive and sterilization programs. PRI has uncovered strong evidence that Catholic Relief Services has collaborated with USAID in at least a few countries, accepting US Government funds and hiring promoters/distributors of intrinsic evil. Steven raises a good question—"Would the Catholic Church better serve the poor (consistent with Church teaching) by avoiding USAID funding in favor of purely charitable donations from US Catholics?"

September 17, 2013 – Mariathon – David Foppe
This week is Radio Mariathon Week, so we will be partially focused on raising the funds necessary for bringing "Christian Radio into your home", including "The Quest for a Culture of Life in America". Our Guest this week is in fact a regular listener to this program so I can ask him what he appreciates about the "Quest" and why he encourages others to listen. David lives in North Carolina so he listens online since there are no RM stations near him.
David and his wife Meg are "promoters" of NFP for the Couple to Couple League. They understand their role as a "calling" and take it very seriously. As you might expect, they have used the Sympto-Thermal Method during their marriage, and like many/most NFP-using couples, they have many children; their 5th is due in January.
David can trace his love for the Catholic Church back to his youth on an Army base where Fr Daniel McCaffrey was Chaplain. In effect, David is a 2nd generation NFP promoter, following in the footsteps of his spiritual father–Father McCaffrey–founder of NFP Outreach.
David's conversion to active Catholic is a sweet story of the affect of collaboration between a committed lay person (his mother) and a faithful priest/shepherd (Fr McCaffrey). I'm convinced that we need the laity and the clergy to work together to establish a Culture of Life in America and around the world. I pray that this program is helping to achieve that goal by helping our listeners find their particular role in that mission.

September 10, 2013 – Fr Matthew Habiger, OSB, PhD
The US Supreme Court was recently asked to redefine marriage to include partners of the same gender. The Court's ruling was somewhat ambiguous and thus confusing.
The issue raises serious questions about "marriage". What is it? Who decides? Is there (or was there) a universally accepted definition? Is it important? Why?
Our Guest on "The Quest for a Culture of Life in America" is Fr Matthew Habiger, a Benedictine priest at Benedictine College, Atchison KS. Fr Matthew has a PhD in moral Theology from Catholic University of America, and travels throughout the country speaking on "God's plan for Marriage, Spousal Love and Family" as part of the NFP Outreach apostolate. He is superbly qualified to acquaint us with the development of an authentic "marriage" definition–from God, as well as the erosion of that definition through out history.
We want to provide you with the understanding and words for explaining what marriage is and what it cannot be. There are many resources to assist you. Then we want to challenge you to spread the truth about marriage in your parishes (including your pastor), families and various other groups.

September 03, 2013 – Huan Hoang
I'm completing my IL, WI, MN grand tour with this Radio Maria broadcast of "The Quest for a Culture of Life in America" from Madison WI.
Thirty-eight years ago, 5 year-old Huan Hoang, his parents and other family members, escaped South Vietnam in a leaky barge to become part of the large Vietnamese refugee program that settled in the US. Many of these families were Catholic in Vietnam and were settled here with the assistance of Catholic Social Services. Huan and his family first settled in California and then moved to Madison where he attended the U of Wisconsin and earned a BS in Pharmacy (RPh) and has been a licensed pharmacist here for 22 years with the same company.
I know of only a few pharmacies and pharmacists who will not dispense birth control pills or other means of artificial birth control. Huan will tell us of his struggle in this area and some of the ideas he is pursuing to relieve him of this moral burden, including the idea of a "Natural Law Pharmacy". In spite of Madison's reputation as a very liberal community (home base for the U of Wisconsin), Huan will tell us of the many Catholic resources that co-exist here and confront the strong liberal culture with a healthy and holy model for living and promoting a Culture of Life.
Huan and I hope/pray that his journey will be an inspiration to others–not only pharmacists–to align their lives with God's plan as best encouraged by the teachings of the Catholic Church. Please pray for Huan and other health care providers as they confront the challenges of their professions.

August 27, 2013 – Sr. Candice Fier
I am on a pilgrimage this week-a pilgrimage visiting Schoenstatt Shrines in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and meeting the religious and laity who are the Schoenstatt Family. Sister Candice Fier is a Schoenstatt Movement Religious Sister. I was surprised to know of their large numbers and the variety of their ministries. Sister lives at the Sleepy Eye MN Shrine and Retreat Center, and serves the Diocese of New Ulm as Family Life Director. She is a Registered Nurse and Fertility Care Practitioner with an MS in Marriage and Family Life from the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family in WDC.
Today we will learn about Sr Candice-her origins, call to religious life, and the three prongs of her ministry:
Promotion of NFP and Natural Procreative Technology for healthy marriages and healthy women,
Marriage and Family Life projects in a large rural Midwestern diocese, and the
Schoenstatt movement mission and charisma based on a deep love of Mary.

August 20, 2013 – Dr. Mary Davenport
The triennial meeting of the MWIA, Medical Women's International Association, an organization started in 1919, was held three weeks ago in Seoul, Korea. Three AAPLOG (America Assn of Pro-Life Obstetricians & Gynecologists) women were scheduled presenters. Drs Donna Harrison, Mary Davenport, both ObGyns, and Dr. Martha Shuping, a psychiatrist flew to Seoul for the meeting, but at the last moment, they were informed their sessions would be cancelled. Why? Their presentations were cancelled because they did not support the pro-abortion ideology of the meeting's organizers.
What happened next was quite astonishing. Be sure to listen–at radio maria.us –as Dr Mary will be our Guest on "The Quest for a Culture of Life in America" Tuesday at Noon ET.
She will describe her personal conversions to NFP-Only, Natural Procreative Technology, and the the Roman Catholic faith. She is the immediate past president of AAPLOG and can tell us about that organization.
But, we mainly want to hear how the Holy Spirit orchestrated the banning of their presentations to a small group of MWIA attendees so that their message could be heard all over the world. Lesson #1: The Holy Spirit will take the ball and run with it if allowed in the game. So, do your part–listen to that small voice encouraging you to do something that will advance the Culture of Life.
Just do it; the Holy Spirit will do most of the actual work!
Mary will synopsize the three presentations; all addressed the harm caused to women by abortion:
Donna Harrison's presentation demonstrated that nations with laws protective of mothers and unborn babies have excellent maternal mortality statistics. Ireland is a classic example
Mary Davenport had a talk about abortion as a risk factor for pre-term birth, the cause of 15 million neonatal deaths each year internationally. Mary travels extensively to gather data and present the facts of abortions harm.
Martha Shuping had a presentation that included two case reports of women who suffered severe psychological harm from abortion, even though they had obvious risk factors that were not discussed in the informed consent process.

August 6, 2013 – Bishop Thomas John Paprocki
I am always especially excited to be able to interview one of Christs' Vicars here on Earth. Bishop Paprocki is the "Ordinary" for the Diocese of Springfield, the capital of Illinois, and by no means is he"ordinary". He is probably in the best physical condition of all the US bishops. He runs marathons (18 and counting) and still plays ice hockey (goalie) on an amateur team.
He has written a book–Holy Goals for Body and Soul–that extols the virtues and demands of athletics and their application to life. It is loaded with interesting stories from sports and their practical lessons for everyday life. I highly recommend it as a gift for any athlete or sports enthusiast.
The goalie is the last line of defense, and courage is essential. So it is with a bishop, as he is the final authority for his diocese and when something is wrong, he has the responsibility to address the problem. Bishop Paprocki has taken the heat for his 2012 pastoral letter on a Catholic's responsibility to take his/er faith into the voting booth, and he has spoken clearly in defense of marriage.
Bishop Paprocki is also a lawyer and quite willing to offer guidance to the Illinois State legislature and other state officials in Springfield. Illinois does not have a strong pro-life/family reputation [ranked 36th by Americans United for Life–www.aul.org/states/illinois], so some recent decisions are surprising. Does he see "evolving"? Is he a stimulant for evolution in Illinois?

32 year old woman | Mansfield, TX, USA | Seeking men 30-35 within 25 miles of Amarillo, TX
this is annoying, but I am amazing.
Looking for someone educated, must be funny (I mean don't be a dud), a good smile, must enjoy sports, if you love the Texas Rangers that would be fantastic, or Aggie Football. Must be confident and self sufficient. I just graduated with my MPA and at my graduation party I better get a fishing rod from my dad. That is all I want. I am in the process of trying all things new and learning learning learning. I am learning to cook and am excited about it, turns out I'm not as terrible as was to be expected. All that being said, regarding graduation, I just moved back to DFW and I need a job. In my previous life I was a massage therapist and I am just praying I find that perfect job (Which would be in tax, I love tax it is the best thing ever, says the nerd) so I don't have to go back to slave labor over naked and sometimes smelly people. So even if you don't want to date me but know of any great public accounting firms hiring, let a girl know! Plus who would want to have a masters degree and do massages, not this girl. I love my family, especially my mom and baby sister. I would give them every dime I ever made or my life for theirs. Over the last several years I have grown more attached to my family, but I still love and adore my 6 best friends that I have had since I was 14. They are the best friends a girl could ask for. My friends are my family I chose. P.S. I think it is weird if a girl says she only gets along with men, to me that says, run dude, RUN! I'm kinda starting a new giant chapter in life and I am not scared of it, but elated. I am the happiest I have been in years. I am always a pretty happy person, and I'm hilarious, but I feel better and happier, and I love when people tell me how happy I seem to be. and let me just say this all seems so lame. I can't tell anything about you by reading what you wrote about yourself and some pics that are supposed to tell me how much you enjoy life. I can't tell if you are socially awkward, you can't tell that I am witty and smart and how I say inappropriate things that would make my mother say my first and middle name, but for some reason it draws people to me. What I can tell though by your photos is either how awful your attire is or how pretentious you are. and there should be a warning button on here from people that have already attempted to date you, like a comment section. or maybe like on youtube where you can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down after a date. Just a thought.
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
Vintage clothes, estate sales, beer, poker. etc etc

dont have one night stands; too risky!
- I had protected sex Friday and Sunday morning saw a bump on my vag and I knew something was wrong. after crying for three hours I went to ER where they told me it was just an ingrown hair. I insisted they tested me regardless. I have to wait a few more days for my result... as I looked at more info on HSV, I read "HSV can easily be misdiagnosed as an ingrown hair etc" I cried even more and called my mom and told her what was happening. she made me feel so much better and told me she'd love me no matter what and my life isnt over, things are gonna be different though. she told me to get a second opinion which I will tomorrow morning and wait for my results. I'm hoping everything is alright... will repost with my results but I have a terrible feeling I have it. I feel so disgusting, like I'll never love again or wont get married or have kids and this kills me inside but these stories have helped immensely... I just wish I could take that night back. I wish I would have just stayed home..
- —Guest anxious
life gos on
- i was 20 n 6 months preganet when i found out i had herpes. i had cought my boyfriend cheating on me a week b4 n i took him back because we were about 2 have a baby n i loved him.when the doctor told me i didnt know how 2 handle it. i was numb. it didnt hit me till i went home 2 brake da news 2 my boyfriend. we stayed 2gether till 3 months after i had the baby. i cought him cheatting on me again but with a 18 year old who didnt know about me or that he had n std. i only stayed with him after i found out because i figured since it was him who infected me then maybe he would change n think b4 he dose n e thing. after all it could have been something worse that could have infected our baby. dat was the last straw 4 me. thankfully my mom was very suportive n helped me deal with dis problem i have. im now 23 n i moved on n met some one else who is a few years older then me. b4 we did n e thing i told him n he didnt mind. we now have a child 2gether n r very happy.

Making Adjustments
- As a newly divorced mom of three teens my diagnosis cames as a dull kick in the stomach. Having a horrible marriage and the desire to reconstruct my romantic life, this is not what I expected to deal with. All my partners were successful business men in their fifties and I practiced safe sex with no exceptions. This is the thing, my sex life will continue, my life will not end and this is not who I am. If millions of people have this condition, then chances are they all found a way to cope, fall in love and have reasonably manageable lives. I am a loving and vibrant woman, this doesn't make me dirty or damaged. Having Herpes makes me compassionate and less likely to judge the woman sitting next to me. This disease is spreading the fastest in my age group to individuals that would not be considered to be high risk and and reckless in their sexual practices. The truth is, every site has different stats on exactly how many people already have Herpes.
- —kindeyes1
it's a normal human condition
- I got lied to and ended up getting hsv1 both on my mouth and genitals. I trusted this girl but she low balled it. I did a lot of research and realized it is nothing like what the images on the web show you. A lot of people have it and life goes on. I told the girl off because she lied to me not because she has it. Just a general rule of keeping your immune system boosted and exercising will help with break outs. And from what i learned, don't trust anyone and get blinded by love. Go get tested before having sex. And don't overlook hsv1, most clinics don't test for it. But it can effect your genitals too, especially in men it can damage nerve cells on urethra and give you constant irritation for a long time. In the end we are human, there are worse things out there like hiv, cancer, etc so feel fortunate you can't die from herpes and it comes and goes.
- —Guest guest12345
life goes on right??
- I'm only 17. I thought I had a UTI, Or maybe a yeast infection but I'm in so much pain and my blisters and sores make me not even want to urinate properly..I'm aware that I have HSV-2 even though my STD results dont come in til next week..I'm really emotional though all your stories really made me feel better I do feel so unwanted and gross though I want to badly get back to not feeling this pain..though my moms been very supportive I just feel horrible I just need help. :(
- —Guest gues in so cal
I feel so quarantined!
- About 6 months ago I tested positive for hsv1 on my genitals. I had an extremely sore bump on my clitoris and when I first went to the clinic they said it didn't look like herpes but about 2-3 days later I got 4 more sores. The guy who infected me totally denied it! I took it REALLY hard and became very obsessive about reading information online and paranoid that I would infect my 2 year old son, my fam and myself in other places. I went out of my mind and decided to end my life. I overdosed on pills and ended up in the hospital psych ward for a week. My mind set has gotten better but now I am on anti depressants and I take suppressive therapy. I've had sex with one person since and I told him prior and he didn't mind. Since then I've told two others and they decided to still date me. The only person who rejected me so far has been my sons father. I was very sexual and free and now I feel like I can't be myself. I feel so dirty and that I will never find anyone. I live for my son now.
- —Guest Devastated
moving on...
- I was dx with HSV1 in 2010. Thought I had a UTI, but my doc did an exam & found a lesion. Of course that was Friday so I had to wait all weekend to get my results. The only nice thing about that was that I had time to prep myself for the phone call, which of course was positive. I never had symptoms, always been careful and had no idea where I could have gotten it from. I could have been carrying it for years. I had been with my husband for 4 years and we are both faithful. My husband got tested too and he is positive, but has never had an outbreak. As much as I would love to know where I got it, because I wanted to slap them silly for "ruining" me, I think its better that neither of us know who had it first. It is just something we share and honestly I don't think about it since I haven't had another outbreak. The only thing I worry about is that we are trying to get preg with our 3rd child. It scares me that if I outbreak I will have to have a c-section. But we will get thru.
- —Guest getting by
How could I let this happen?
- Well, I went to the doctor yesterday because I thought that the meds I was taking for what I thought was a re-run of the warts I got a couple of months ago from my ex partner. I thought it was a bad reaction to the cream and so I went to the doctor. He said the lumps looked like herpes but he wasn't sure so I had a test done. It's Saturday now and I have to wait for the results to come out on Thursday. I feel so dirty and embarrassed and ashamed. I just keep on praying a hoping I don't have it but from what I've seen on the net, I probably have it. I'm always the one who brings up protection, but with this one guy, I was drunk and just went with the flow. I feel like such an idiot, I'm 19 and I feel like damaged goods. Who would ever want me? I feel like I'm never gonna have sex again because I'd hate to give it to someone else. I really don't like myself right now, intact I think I hate myself. All these other stories just feel like stars in the sky, distant and un-reachable..........
- —Guest How?
Living with Herpes....
- I went for a check up because my ex-husband slept with a female who was positive with herpes. I am not really sure if she was the only one that exposed us to herpes or not, because he was a cheatin man. I have not had any blisters or problems so it really is hard for me to say how it affects me physically. I do know it has changed me as a person. I feel like I am dirty, ashamed, and not attractive anymore. I have a partner now but I think he is afraid to be with me. I did inform him before we ever became intimate. At first he just joked around but I do not think it is a joke. We split up and he went with another female and did not use protection. I don't get it . He got lucky that she did not have HIV. He did contract a yeast infection from her. He has checked for everything except herpes. I do not want to tell everyone what I have... I don't want to date constantly untill I find someone who will accept me. Sometimes I feel like my life of intimacy is gone forever!
- —Guest Guest Dee
wish it was different...
- I got diagnosed exactly two weeks ago. It has been the longest two weeks of my life. I had absolutely NO symptoms just went in for my yearly and asked the doctor for a full panel. Wish I could take that back. I am HSV2 positive with a high Igg never had one outbreak. Dont know if it is better knowing or not. Still wish I could take it back two weeks and be back to my normal self. My life will never be the same.l Why did I need to find out
- —Guest if only
There are people out there...
- I have been with my boyfriend for over 6 years, he was diagnosed with HSV before we started dating and was very open and honest with me before we went on our first date. I took a chance and ended up falling in love with him, we are getting married in August. I too just found out today that I have HSV as well, but it took 6 years to contract it. Moral of the story, you are not damaged or unwanted just because of this. People will look past it, like I did. Don't let your life revolve around this disease, there is so much more to live for!
- —Guest guest
lesbians get herpes too
- I was diagnosed with HSV-1 about 2 weeks ago. I'm a lesbian and contracted the virus from oral sex, from a partner that routinely gets cold sores but did not have an oral outbreak at that time. My reaction was a lot like those I'm reading on here; I felt ashamed, dirty, undesirable, and very much alone. The person I contracted it from, a good friend, refuses to acknowledge spreading the virus to me, which makes this all even harder to deal with. But slowly these feelings are fading. I've just started suppressive drug therapy (Valtrex), just more for piece of mind than anything else. I've told my close friends, who have been very supportive. I'm slowly accepting that this is quite common and that most people with genital HSV live happy and sexually-fulfilled lives. The stigma that comes along with HSV seems unwarranted. And I think that with time things will continue to get better.
- —Guest slowly feeling better
Cautiously Optimistic
- I was diagnosed with Herpes 3 days ago; 2 days before my 35th birthday. I have been in a relationship with someone that I met online for about 4 months now. About a week after the last time we had sex, I noticed that I wasn't feeling well and had a white bump on my vagina. I went to the Dr immmediately and was told that it was most likely Herpes and tests were done. I had a few days to marinade the idea, so it wasn't as devastating when it was confirmed. Oddly enough, I haven't heard much from him lately and am thinking he may have done this on purpose to keep me with him. Though I am hurt, angry and confused, I know that life goes on and reading everyone else's story helps make me feel a bit more normal as I initially felt dirty & worthless. I am blessed in that it could have been a lot worse. Though I am still in a fog of sorts & am not sure how future relationships will work, I am cautiously optimistic about my what's to come in life.

Rugby League World Cup: Scotland come from behind to beat the USA 22-8
Last Updated: 08/11/13 10:21am
Scotland came from 8-0 down to score 22 unanswered points and inflict a first defeat of the World Cup on the Tomahawks to finish unbeaten in Group C.
But the battling Bravehearts face an agonising wait to see if the Salford success is enough to take them through to the quarter-finals.
Steve McCormack's men continued their remarkable campaign with a victory that was more emphatic than the scoreline of 22-8 suggests - but it was not enough to overhaul Italy's superior points difference and the Azzurri will clinch a last-eight duel with New Zealand if they beat Tonga at Halifax on Sunday.
It might have been different had the Scots not had five tries disallowed for a variety of reasons and they will be left to curse their misfortune if they are eventually eliminated with an undefeated record.
The Tomahawks, who were already guaranteed a quarter-final place, made the better start, with full-back Kristian Freed taking Joseph Paulo's pass and forcing his way over for the game's opening try after seven minutes.
The Scots dominated the rest of the first half but events appeared to conspire against them as they failed to register a point - centre Ben Hellewell got over the line after a determined burst but was unable to ground the ball and left-winger Alex Hurst had a try disallowed for a forward pass by Brough.
Hurst, in fact, could have had a hat-trick before half-time - he was twice held up over the line - and skipper Danny Brough had a try disallowed by video referee Henry Perenara for obstruction.
Having defended heroically, the Americans struck on the counter-attack on 22 minutes to double their score when centre Taylor Welch won the race to Craig Priestly's deft kick to the line.
Tide turned
That made it 8-0 and it could have been worse for the Scots had Paulo, who had received goalkicking tuition from former New Zealand Test winger Daryl Halligan, not been off target with both conversion attempts.
It was a similar story in the second half, with Scotland making most of the running, and their perseverance finally paid off with two tries in five minutes.
Second rower Brett Phillips charged onto Brough's delayed pass to cross for the first on 50 minutes and impressive full-back Matthew Russell cut a swathe through a fragmented American defence for his fourth try of the tournament.
Brough's first conversion attempt rebounded off the far upright but his second was on target to put his side into the lead for the first time.
The unfortunate Hurst was denied yet again, this time by the video referee, as he attempted to squeeze over at the corner and in a rare attack the Tomahawks missed a chance when winger Matt Peterson lost the ball in a promising position.
However, there was no denying Scotland prop Luke Douglas on 62 minutes when he stormed onto Brough's pass 10 metres out from the line.
And, as the Tomahawks lost their discipline towards the end, Scotland added a fourth try just before the end when Hurst collected Brough's long pass to finally get the try his performance so richly deserved and Brough kicked his third goal to wrap up the scoring.

Justin Timberlake Teams Up with Tom Ford
Tom Ford and Justin Timberlake are teaming up for Timberlake's upcoming album "The 20/20 Experience," after his six-year break in which he focused on his acting and comedy chops. Timberlake flashes a Tom Ford tie in his "Suit & Tie" video and the cover of the single shows the singer sporting a tuxedo with satin peak lapels, pique front shirt and a signature Ford oversize bow tie. Timberlake also wears a three-piece suit and a black peak lapel two-piece tuxedo in the video as he sings, "As long as I've got my suit and tie/Imma leave it all on the floor tonight."
Ford is said to have worked very closely with Timberlake and his team to create the perfect fitting made-to-measure suits and accessories that will feature heavily in the album. "I adore Justin. He has innate style and enormous talent. It has been such a pleasure and Honor to work with him throughout this entire creative process," said Ford.

PYXERA Global creates groundbreaking partnerships between the public, private, and social sectors that leverage the unique attributes of each to create shared value and innovative solutions to complex challenges. Our initiatives include a wide range of services from local content development, to global pro bono programs, and integrated community development efforts that transform lives and livelihoods.
In 2002, Afghanistan had 45,886 university students. In 2013, the number has grown to 123,579. Despite this progress, increased focus is needed on the quality and relevance of academic programs and on managing the expansion of tertiary education to keep pace with burgeoning demand. USAID Afghanistan University Support and Workforce Development Program, is designed to help Afghanistan's higher education professionals effectively manage the growth of tertiary education while improving academic quality.
Global development is as critical to our nation's foreign policy as diplomacy and defense, and today USAID is being asked to do more than ever before, even in a constrained budget environment. To meet that challenge, USAID is following a new model of development emphasizing measurable results, more efficient national and local governments, thriving civil societies, and private investment, creating the conditions to eliminate the need for its assistance over time.
In the FY 2014 Budget, President Obama proposed common sense reforms that would enable us to reach up to four million more people in food crises around the world with the same resources, by making the successful USAID Title II program more flexible, efficient and effective. At a time when 51.2 million people around the world are displaced by conflict—the largest amount since World War II—these reforms are needed more than ever. Rising costs have dramatically decreased the amount of food that a dollar of Title II funding buys. This year, the President's request builds on positive reforms enacted in the 2014 Farm Bill that enable USAID to reach more people annually with the same resources.
With support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Coral Triangle Initiative improves the efficiency and effectiveness of conservation efforts in the Coral Triangle, which encompasses nearly six million square kilometers of ocean, islands, and coastal waters in the Asia-Pacific Region.
Bosnia and Herzegovina signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities in 2010, but has made little progress in implementing it. People with disabilities represent one of the most vulnerable and hidden groups in the country. With no structured state system of social care or community-based services, they and their families have nowhere to turn for support. They are wrongly viewed as incapable of participating in everyday life and excluded from society and, worse, are often placed in institutions that are located in remote areas and further removed from society. This is not in the spirit of the Convention.
The Mekong Partnership for the Environment is a four-year, $15 million program ending in 2017 and funded by the United States Agency for International Development to advance informed multi-stakeholder dialogues in Lower Mekong countries regarding the social and environmental costs and benefits of regional development projects.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) regional Private Financing Advisory Network-Asia will assist businesses, governments, and others in Asia's developing countries to mobilize and scale-up investments in clean energy.
The United States Agency for International Development's Mekong-Building Climate Resilient Asian Cities program is working to address the effects of climate change in four medium-sized cities in Thailand and Vietnam, two countries that are experiencing rapid urbanization and population growth.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and WaterLinks are implementing a two-year public-private partnership initiative, which will end in April 2015, to ensure the sustainability of the WaterLinks non-profit organization to expand access to safe water supplies and sustainable sanitation services in Southeast and South Asia.

It was "private to our family," Hagenah said. "What people in the public care about are the names. When they see a name they've heard before, such as Wrigley, they tend to care about it."
Follett Higher Education Group, a family-owned business started in 1873 and based in suburban Chicago, became embroiled in a contract dispute with BookRenter.com. BookRenter.com, launched in 2008, rents and sells college textbooks to students.
The two companies teamed up in March 2010 in a deal to sell books online, but, according to Follett, the relationship soured and Follett sued.
Follett asked for the case to be sealed because it contained confidential and proprietary information, said Follett spokesman Tom Kline. Hall agreed and sealed the case.
But Greg Wharton, vice president of legal affairs for Rafter Inc., formerly known as BookRenter.com, said his company wanted the dispute public.
"Follett is a major, major player in the book industry. … Perhaps they had the case sealed because they didn't want to make us seem sympathetic in this David versus Goliath battle," Wharton said. "We believe the market had a right to know about the dispute."
Scottie Pippen case
Of the 163 secret cases, judges had unsealed only 16 as of July, according to a Tribune analysis. One those cases involved former Chicago Bull Scottie Pippen.
In April 2004, Pippen took his financial adviser to court after he "experienced significant losses" in his investments. Pippen accused Robert Lunn of self-dealing; of placing his money into questionable, risky investments; and of failing to protect Pippen's assets, according to court records. (Lunn last year was indicted on unrelated federal charges that he defrauded a suburban bank and two of his clients of more than $3.2 million. The case is pending.)
Pippen's lawyer, Jerry Esrig, asked the court to seal the Pippen file. Esrig argued that the file contained extensive personal financial information about Pippen, and making it public could harm him financially.
Judge Bush agreed and sealed the file. She unsealed it in October 2004 after Pippen received an $11.8 million judgment against Lunn and his company. The next month, news stories disclosed Pippen's financial battle. What was not widely known at the time was that Pippen had his court case hidden from the public.
Esrig, in an interview, said it was easier to seal the entire file rather than risk having some of Pippen's personal financial information revealed. He said he would have done the same for any client, regardless of their celebrity.
Bush agreed that fame was not a factor.
"I did not seal it because he's a celebrity," Bush said. "He's not even my favorite basketball player. Michael (Jordan) was."
Judge Moshe Jacobius, the presiding judge of the Chancery Division, sealed two chancery cases in 2011, according to records. The identities of the parties involved in those disputes also are hidden from the public.
Chief Judge Evans, who approved the Tribune's request for court data on sealed files, said judges rarely seal cases but acknowledged that sometimes "a mistake could be made."
"I think that the overwhelming majority of our judges know the law and apply the law," he said. "But judges are human like anyone else."
Rathsack, the appellate lawyer, said the public cannot know if a case was properly sealed unless "it can see and read the reasons" that it should be secret.
"Even if no clout is involved in sealing the case, there's the appearance of impropriety," Rathsack said. "The appearance of impropriety is critical. It's critical to the courts because courts have to have the public's trust to properly function."
Tribune reporter Alex Richards contributed.

2008 Las Vegas Bowl Profiles
BYU (10-2) vs. Arizona (7-5)
20, 8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN
Las Vegas Bowl History
Tickets for the Las Vegas Bowl
2008 CFN Las Vegas Bowl Preview
Scroll Down For Each Team's Bowl
Richard Cirminiello
Cougar Bowl Moment:
From 1978 to 1984, BYU and the Holiday Bowl were synonymous with the
magic and excitement of the postseason. That was never truer than in
1980, when Jim McMahon and the high-voltage Cougars engineered an
incredible comeback for the school's first bowl triumph. Trailing
SMU 38-19 at the start of the fourth quarter, BYU stormed back,
pulling out a miraculous win when McMahon connected with TE Clay
Brown from 41 yards out as time expired.
Best Wildcat Bowl Moment: Arizona makes its long-awaited
return to the postseason, snapping a 10-year drought. Although
they've yet to appear in the Rose Bowl, the Wildcats were pretty
formidable between 1986 and 1998, winning five games in eight tries.
The pinnacle was the 1994 Fiesta Bowl spanking of No. 10 Miami.
Arizona created four turnovers and got 142 yards on the ground from
Chuck Levy, pitching the only shutout in Fiesta Bowl history.
The Last Time You'll See ...
LB David Nixon. Nixon has been the steady rock of the defense for
the past few seasons, playing as if he plans to follow former
Cougars Bryan Kehl and Brady Poppinga into the NFL. A terrific
athlete with sharp instincts as a run defender, he's got 85 tackles,
10.5 tackles for loss, and a BYU-best three interceptions.
WR Mike Thomas. At 5-8 and 195 pounds, Thomas hardly fits the
prototype in a world of receivers who look like redwoods. Stature is
just one of the many hurdles he's cleared to pull within four
receptions of becoming the Pac-10's all-time leading receivers. More
than a deep threat, he was named to the all-conference first team as
a receiver and a punt returner.
Breakout Player ...
LT Matt Reynolds. With Max Hall, Harvey Unga, Dennis Pitta, and
Austin Collie in the same huddle, who bothers watching a freshman
lineman, right? Because he's got the tools to be one of the best
blockers in the country before too long. A dominant force at 6-6 and
320 pounds, he'll step out of the shadows of his senior linemates as
soon as this game ends.
Arizona: RB Keola Antolin. While only 5-8 and 180 pounds,
when Antolin gets into open space, his size is irrelevant. He burst
on to the scene in the Oct. 18 win over Cal, rushing for 149 yards
and three touchdowns, and electrifying the offense with his quick
cuts and darting moves. Just a true freshman, he has an exciting
future in Tucson.
Best Non-Game Event
Obviously, Las Vegas offers some unique settings for its bowl
events. The team welcome reception takes place on a mini-Brooklyn Bridge
outside of the New York New York Hotel with the amazing Las Vegas Strip
as a backdrop. Elvis sings. Showgirls pose. It's a very memorable time.
Then the teams go in to play games and eat at ESPN ZONE inside the
Also, the teams are treated to a world-class Las Vegas show on the
Strip. Whether it's BYU going to see Blue Man Group in 2006 or UCLA
heading to KA by Cirque du Soleil in 2007 or this year's teams heading
in to Planet Hollywood Resort to take in Stomp Out Loud, you'd be hard
pressed to find such entertainment options at any other bowl game.
Player Gift Package
Players from each school will receive a Wii System, an Oakley Holeshot
3hd watch, and a Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl hat
Charitable Component
This year, the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl has partnered with the group Cell
Phones for Soldiers to raise funds to provide Southern Nevada troops
deployed abroad with prepaid calling cards. Cell Phones for Soldiers is
an organization founded by teens Brittany and Rob Bergquist that
collects used cellular telephones and accessories and sells them to
ReCellular, which then recycles the products. Proceeds are then used by
Cell Phones for Soldiers to purchase prepaid calling cards that are
distributed to members of the United States Military. Donations will be
accepted through December 20, with the donation check and phones being
presented at Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl XVII.
How Success is Measured
The Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl is looking at a fourth consecutive sold-out
game in 2008, so the bar has recently been raised for attendance. An
attractive matchup that produces an exciting game on the field is also
paramount to an overall successful bowl experience. Of course, this is
Las Vegas, and if nothing else, the bowl committee wants all the
players, coaches, staff and fans to have a great time while visiting one
of the most exciting cities on the planet.
MVP of the Bowl
The Pioneer Las Vegas has chosen not to single out any one
individual from a group that it considers to be indispensable.
Impact to the Community
The Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl was introduced in 1992, then pitting the
Mid-American champ vs. the Big West champ, for the purpose of filling
hotel rooms on the Las Vegas Strip during what is traditionally a down
period here—the week before Christmas. Now, even though Las Vegas has
exploded in tourism numbers since that time, the bowl still is
responsible for filling a good percentage of rooms each December. As the
game has grown from sparse crowds to sold-out stands, the bowl has
become a key part of the community's very busy event calendar.
