Growing up in the Czech Republic's second largest city, Brno, Eva Krchova began distance running when most kids were skipping on the playground. Last year, as a freshman at the University of San Francisco, she set university records in the 800- and 3,000-meter track and field competitions, as well as the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
She was USF's first NCAA championship finalist in the 3000-meter steeplchase, a rollicking run over 35 hurdles and seven water hazards, finishing 13th with a time of 10:27, after qualifying with a personal best of 10:11, and was first in the same competition at the Rafer Johnson/Jackie Joyner-Kersee Invitational at UCLA.
In cross-country, Krchova earned all WCC honors and was 10th in the WCC Championships, running six kilometers in 21:58 and helping the USF women's team to its first conference championship.
Off the racecourse, Krchova impressed in the classroom. An international studies major, she was twice recognized for academic excellence and made the dean's honor roll with a 3.71 grade point average.
"Eva has an incredible work ethic and approaches her education and athletic training and competition with focus and intensity," said Helen Lehman-Winters, USF men's and women's cross-country and track and field head coach.
Now a sophomore, "American positivism," as Krchova has come to call the boundless enthusiasm she sees in her USF teammates and classmates, has grown on her and she sees more top finishes for herself and USF's track and field and cross-country teams ahead.
She credits her father for introducing her to the sport. "When I was small, I saw him running every day and when I was 6 years old I asked him if I could join him," Krchova said.
Even at that tender age, Krchova knew the furrow in her father's forehead reflected his concern that her short legs would slow his pace. She also knew that he couldn't say, "No." "Since that time, I became his everyday partner and after a few years he turned into my coach," Krchova said.
A two-time Czech national junior team champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with national junior team titles in the 1,500-meter indoor and 3,000-meter outdoor, Krchova longed to compete at the Division I college level and study abroad. She trained diligently, hoping that a college coach from the U.S. would discover her and bring her to America. Finally, Krchova took matters into her own hands and reached out to coaches at schools she was interested in attending by email, including Lehman-Winters.
"I still have goose bumps when I think about it!" Krchova said, describing the moment she read the letter from Lehman-Winters informing her that she had been accepted to USF and would receive a full scholarship.
In spite of having visited the U.S. briefly in 2000, Krchova was mesmerized by the "hugeness" of American life when she arrived as a freshman. "I was rapt by huge highways and huge cars," Krchova said. "Next were huge paper cups, huge campuses, huge everything."
The nationwide search for an athletic director is about to begin, with USF School of Law Dean Jeffrey S. Brand heading the search committee. Director of Golf Gary Nelson, MD, is serving as interim athletic director following the resignation of Debra Gore-Mann in September.
Nelson, who took the head golf coaching position at USF to "bring USF's golf program to national prominence, doing it with true scholars while having a lot of fun along the way," has raised USF's national ranking drastically through strong recruiting classes that he has brought to The Hilltop.

Biobased Lubes and Greases: Respected Market Contenders
Instructor: Lou Honary
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. Central Time
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
Since the early 1980's, first in Europe and then in the 1990's in the US, biobased, then called biodegradable, lubricants have been in an uphill climb towards market acceptance. Today, some biobased lubricants have performance that equals or exceeds that of the conventional lubricants and yet they can be price competitive. These products also enjoy the support of the US government through the USDA "Biopreferred" program, designed to encourage use within the federal government. Biobased lubricants are growing in both use and acceptability in the market.
In this webinar, Professor Lou Honary, a leading exert and author in biobased lubricants, provides an overview of the technical and commercial opportunities in biobased lubricants and grease areas. Topics will include a brief historical review of the biobased lubricants and grease technologies, new developments in base vegetable or crop oils, base oil modifications including genetic enhancement of seed oils and chemical modifications of base oils, and advances in performance enhancing additives. There will also be a brief presentation on new processing technologies for manufacturing biobased products.
Dr. Lou A. T. Honary is a professor and the founding Director of the National Ag-Based Lubricants (NABL) Center at the University of Northern Iowa. He is considered to be one of the most knowledgeable researchers in the nation in the area of biobased and renewable lubricants. Honary is a member or has served as officer in several technical organizations including the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA), the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI), and the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE). Dr. Honary has served on state and federal committees including USDA/DOE Biomass Research and Development Advisory Committee, and Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack's Life Sciences Advisory Committee.
Honary is the author of a book on biobased lubricants and greases and has authored three separate book chapters and numerous articles on biobased greases. He holds 8 US patents or joint patents with two additional pending. Honary has been engaged in development and commercialization of biobased rail curve greases since 1991 and several commercial greases on the market owe their origins to Honary's work.

Women deacons? Best not to talk about it.
Mollie Wilson O'Reilly December 11, 2012 - 3:09pm
The archdiocese of Philadelphia is looking for someone to address its deacons this spring. Former heads of the USCCB's secretariat for the diaconate need not apply. Not, that is, if they have publicly acknowledged the unsettled question of whether women may be ordained deacons. That might be "doctrinally confusing," and Catholics these days are just so easy to confuse.
Last week the National Catholic Reporter's Joshua J. McElwee reported that William Ditewig, former USCCB staffer and co-author of Women Deacons: Past, Present, Future, had been denied permission to speak "to the [Philadelphia] archdioceses deacons, [deacons'] wives, and deacon candidates" this coming March, based on the decision of the archdiocesan "speaker approval commission."Just so we're clear: it is an open question whether it's possible for the Catholic Church to admit women to the diaconate. The latest Commonweal happens to have an article by Phyllis Zagano, one of Ditewig's Women Deacons co-authors, explaining where the matter stands today. "The conversation continues," she reports -- even among bishops. Was the speaker approval commission in Philadelphia unaware of this fact? They wouldn't comment, but an archdiocesan spokesperson said it didn't matter:
[Kenneth] Gavin said that since the matter is still considered unanswered Ditewig's presence for the deacon event wasn't appropriate.This wouldn't be the best setting for an open question or something that is a matter of debate theologically at this point in time and how the diaconate is structured within the church itself, said Gavin. It wasn't the setting for discussion on theological debate-like topics. This was ongoing formation. It's educational for the deacons and their wives.
Uh-huh. Ditewig, not surprisingly, tells NCR he wasn't planning on introducing any "debate-like topics" when he spoke in Philadelphia. But of course the commission didn't get in touch with him before they made their "negative recommendation."I knew the paranoia was getting pretty bad out there. Nobody wants to risk running afoul of the orthodoxy police; easier to just preemptively cancel any speakers/visiting professors who might give you trouble, regardless of whether the objections are well founded. But this is the most ridiculous example I've heard of yet. This diocese is afraid to allow the former head of the USCCB office for the diaconate to speak to its deacons, because said deacon has demonstrated an awareness of and interest in scholarly study of...the diaconate? As the NCR article reminds us, "In his 1994 apostolic letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, Pope John Paul II declared that the church 'has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women.'" And as you know, that was followed by orders that the matter must not be spoken of again.
This is where that policy has gotten us: nearly two decades later, the mere mention of the words "women" and "ordained" in the same sentence, even in a sentence that does not actually run afoul of the no-women-priest-talk rule, is enough to shut everything down. It's a farce. It's like that Monty Python sketch where anytime anyone says "mattress" to the mattress salesman, he puts a bag over his head. Very hard to get anything done in that environment. In this case the archdiocese doesn't even have anything coherent to say for itself -- except this: "Speakers for archdiocesan events, said Gavin, are supposed to be reviewed by the speaker commission before an invitation is extended to them, which did not occur in Ditewig's case." That's an excuse I've heard before. It means, "It's not our fault you found out about this indefensible decision we were hoping not to have to defend." It's not really an explanation at all, and -- hey bishops! -- you should probably stop using it.
When the mere thought of someone maybe provoking a discussion of the possibility of women's ordination is enough to freak everyone out, I can't help wondering why the people who are most dedicated to supporting the official line -- that Rome simply doesn't have the authority to ordain women priests -- don't act like they believe it. This, I guess, is what I'm confused about. Because here's what they say: It's not sexism at all. It's not that the all-male hierarchy is unwilling to share any sort of authority with women. It's just that this particular role isn't open to women -- our hands are tied! If that's true, and if the members of the speaker approval commission in Philly (for example) believe it's true, shouldn't we all be thrilled to discover other areas in which the sharing of authority with women might be possible? Shouldn't the response from bishops and diocesan officials be: "Look, the historical record suggests that women might be eligible for the diaconate! Surely we should investigate this carefully, and respect the work of those who are doing just that, because ordaining women as deacons, if possible, would be an excellent way to live up to our church's own teachings about the equal dignity of men and women and their equal responsibilities as members of Christ's body." Or you might look, as you know I like to do, at the case of female altar servers. Rome has clarified that there is no doctrinal reason, absolutely none, that women cannot serve in this lay ministry alongside men. Here, then, is an opportunity to prove that the refusal to even discuss the possibility of women serving as priests is not, at its root, just squeamishness about the idea of women serving at or near the altar. "We can't admit women to the priesthood," I keep waiting for conservative bishops and theologians to say, "but happily we can include them in the fullness of the church's life and worship in a variety of other ways. What a positive thing for our church."I keep waiting for more bishops and diocesan officials and self-appointed keepers of orthodoxy to say things like that. Why don't they, do you think?
Commenting Guidelines
Also in the movie Lincoln, Lincoln quotes Euclid by saying Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another, his simple reason for abolishing slavery. The same applies to women in the ministry, as all people are children of God and thus equal in the most important characteristic we have. It's not our job to prove why women should be ordained, it's the job of the Church to prove why we should not, which they have not done by any means grounded in reason or revelation.
FWIW, I don't perceive that so-called permanent deacons are "second-class" deacons in comparison to so-called transitional deacons. As a practical matter, their paths rarely cross. Lisa, you're right that seminarians are kept separate from candidates for the permanent diaconate. Part of it is purely practical: seminarians are full-time students whose classes generally meet during the day, whereas deacon couples generally do formation on evenings and weekends. (In this, it is not too different from certain professional tracks, like law or business, that have both full-time and night students). It's also generally and cynically suspected that seminarians also are kept apart from permanent deacon couples, because nearly all of the latter are married and in formation with our wives, and our on-the-whole-pretty-good marriages are on display in the classrooms.Deacons do occupy a lower rung in the hierarchy than bishops and priests. So I suppose we're "lower class" in that sense, although the priests in Chicago don't treat us like we're groundlings. And one bit of theology that was stressed to us in formation - which I don't know is universally held, but it does make sense to me - is that, when a transitional deacon is ordained to the presbyterate, he doesn't stop being a deacon. The one ordination doesn't cancel out the other. So we have that in common with priests and bishops.
The best writing in the US on the diaconate is by Deacon Bill Ditewig (Paulist Press). But of course that's what started all this in the first place.
I would recommend to the Philly archdiocese that they trust Bill Ditewig to do the right thing in this presentation. No deacon I know of has served the bishops and the church as he has. FWIW, he led a retreat for my class (including wives) during our formation. Somehow we emerged from the experience without visible theological bruises.
This business of not allowing someone to speak on anything because of some issue that is not in the Catholic Catechism is making the Church a laughing stock. Here is the complete statement from the Philidalphia Archdiocesan Speaker Approval Committion:"Reason: The Archdiocesan Speaker Approval Commission recommends that Deacon William T. Ditewig not be approved to speak in the Archdiocese. He has publications and blog postings in whcih he argues for women deacons based on a reading of historical data that is not in accord with the data of Tradition considered globally. He also holds that his ordination as a deacon as well as his ministry somehow includes the deacon's spouse so that the two sacraments of marriage and diaconate [sic] ordination become 'one in the person of the deacon.' This also is not in accord with the Tradition considered globally. While the Magisterium has not made a definitive pronouncement on these positions an argument can be made that the ordinary magisterium has moved against the positions of Deacon Ditewig. Approving him as a speaker would introduce the possibility of doctrinal confusion rather than helpful instruction so the Commission holds that it is more prudent to give him a negative recommendation."The doctrinal determinations give above are beyond the writers' competence and authority. To be fair, the three members of the Philadelphia Commission whose names have been discovered to date were not appointed by Archbishop Chaput. They are: Msgr. Joseph Gentili, Chairman; Rev. Joseph T. Shenosky; Rev. Robert A. Pesarchick. There are three other priests and one secular woman on the commission, she a member of the St. Charles Borromeo (Philadelphia) Seminary faculty, as are Fathers Shenosky and Pesarchick.
"While the Magisterium has not made a definitive pronouncement on these positions an argument can be made that the ordinary magisterium has moved against the positions of Deacon Ditewig."SINCE the Magisterium has not made a definitive pronouncement on these positions an argument can be made that the ordinary magisterium has NOT moved against the positions of Deacon Ditewig.Did everybody catch the commission's profoundly respectful, not to say fawning, switch from capital letter to lower case in the two uses of the dreaded m-word? Whether it's up or down is sort of like what you an learn from the length of tassels.
I just wonder what "publications and blog postings [Deacon Ditewig has] ....that is not in accord with the data of Traditiion considered globally? What is meant by 'considered globally'? At the time Pheobe, the Deacon was ministering---the infant Church certainly was not 'global'. Nor was the Church global for the next several centuries. But anybody who has seriously studied church history KNOWS that there were women deacons. The Speaker Approval Commission is about as clear in its rational of denying approval to Deacon Ditewig to speak, as is a tub of wet cement (and just as mixed up).I believe that the officials of the Archdiocese of Philadephia should hide themselves in shame. They are sooooo slow in admitting their own serious sins but so quick to discredit the excellent work of one of their finest deacons, Deacon William T. Ditewig.
And what is that rustling sound I hear? Just a few thousand more women and girls standing up, gathering their integrity, and walking out the door of unHoly Mother the Church. People who have no vote tend to vote with their feet.Smaller, purer? you got it! " .. historical data that is not in accord with the data of Tradition considered globally." Isn't that a simple admission that unHMTC is guilty of "pick and choose" scholarship?"Never attribute to conspiracy that which can be explained by incompetence." (Napolean Bonaparte)
BTW, the word "data" is plural, so the above should have said "data that ARE not in accord...." The good Sinsinawa Dominicans sisters taught me that wayyyy back when, before nuns were a suspect class.
Yeah, let's ordain lots of deaconesses - that will help!Ugh -
"Catholics these days are just so easy to confuse."Tim Unsworth of blessed memory knew about that and said as much in a collection of his articles in NCR between 1982 and 2007, published by Acta Publications in 2008 ...."Bishops break out in shingles in the face of ambiguity; laity live with it each day in their homes, jobs and social life.Chancery offices constantly view the faithful as so befuddled that, without unctuous instruction, they would confuse the holy water fountain with a birdbath."
" Or you might look, as you know I like to do, at the case of female altar servers. "NCR/s "Cry Pax" did as well, back in the 1960s:"Ladies, Ladies, soon you'll agreeThis altar girl crumb from the Holy SeeGives truth to the adage that you'll always be,Rarely the dog, but most often the tree."
Of course conservative bishops and theologians are happy to include them in the fullness of the churchs life and worship in a variety of other ways. It is fitting with Tradition that they iron the linen of the holy liturgy and polish the sacred vessels. How much closer than that can you get to the mystery of our faith? As the church adapts to modern times, new rules keep being found for them. They can help transmit the faith by photocopying song sheets, a very important part in getting people to participate at Mass. They can help minister to people in need by answering the phone and being present at the reception area of the rectory, a humble but essential role, central to the life of a parish. What more could they possibly wish for?
And don't forget that women can be servants in the rectory as well, cooking and cleaning for the men. Altar linens AND presbyteral laundry! What REAL woman would want more?
If it came up in catechism, I'd just have to chalk it up to mystery: I've talked about the mystery of the Trinity and the mystery of the Real Presence; I would have to add the mystery of No Women Ordained, which is something so mysterious that, unlike the other two, we should not even try to understand it: it is the Ultimate Mystery.
"What REAL woman would want more?"Maybe lots and lots and lots of kids ...?
Claire, I think you were right in the first instance about new "rules" being found for them.+ don't ask or discuss anything about women's ordination, under any circumstances+ don't study theology alongside candidates for the Catholic priesthood+ don't think if you're married to a deacon, your marriage contributes anything whatsoever to his ministry+ don't imagine you'll get a job in the curia or in a Vatican congregation any time soon+ don't think your daughter might someday become (shudder) a cardinal, as Abbot Martin recently suggested + don't imagine you get to define your own ideas about femininity because they have already been determined completely and permanently by men, to wit, "the eternal feminine"+ don't use the word "feminist" in a positive manner unless you want to be put under permanent heresy watch+ don't break out of the "pelvic girdle" of considering women totally in terms of their reproductive capacities as their sole contribution to human civilization+ don't think we can't keep you out of the sanctuary any more, because we can, witness the return of that exclusion via Summorum pontificum and the 1962 rite+ don't think an individual bishop doesn't have the right to stop having altar girls any time, as an issue of "pastoral prudence"+ don't imagine that we won't put the feelings of altar boys (possible candidates for priesthood someday) ahead of the feelings of girl servers+ don't imagine if you are part of a religious community of women that we won't run roughshod over your own structures of authority
I suspect that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is reluctant to have Rev. Dietwig speak because those advocating for women deacons generally are also advocating for women priests, despite the clear and unambiguous teaching of Ordinatio Sacerdotalis. Those wanting to see women in the diaconate would be well advised to clearly state that they accept what Ordinatio Sacerdotalis teaches about ordaining women to the priesthood.
I think it's obvious to pretty much everyone that the reason the church will not allow women to do anything in the realm of authority is sexism. The contempt in the word Ken uses for women deacons ... deaconesses ... is an example of this. When NT scholars like Sandra Schneiders and even the Pontifical Biblical Commission conclude there's no scriptural reason women can't be priests, it's hard to come to any other conclusion.
I hope I'm wrong, but I see a likely outcome of this controversy. We could get an Infallible Statement, carved in marble in all-caps and set in cement; to the effect that the Church is incapable of ordaining women to ANYTHING, full stop. And we would be stuck with it until the Parousia, along with the dubious theology used to justify such a statement. The Church may be ready for women deacons (or even, gasp, women priests) but the hierarchy are light years away from being ready for it. Given the present mood of paranoia, maybe discretion is the better part of valour. If people try to force the issue right now, the outcome is virtually guaranteed. We have to have enough faith in the Holy Spirit, that if it's meant to happen, it will, in God's time. Formal schism is a destructive possibility that should give everyone pause.
During Dr. Ditewig's tenure with the USCCB, he directed the drafting and promulgation of the National Directory for the Formation, Ministry and Life of Permanent Deacons in the United States. Not only was this a very notable act of service to the church and the diaconate, but I can't think of a task that would better illustrate his commitment - loyalty -to the church and its teaching authority.
But why would a woman want to become a deacon in the first place?
Katherine: informal schism is OK, but formal is not? I suspect that the former is more of a reality in terms of many issues than many people wish to admit. But to be truthful .... that's scarey? I don't think so.
There is no one who is more knowledgeable about the diaconate here in the US than Bill Ditewig.As a Philadelphian I am embarrassed and getting ready for righteous anger.
Jim McCrea, I don't know if scary is the right word. Tragic and sad would be more like it, given that Jesus prayed "that all may be one". I think you're right that we have some informal schisms on a lot of things. But a formal break takes it to the next level; we have one of those that hasn't healed in over a thousand years.
Jim Pauwels and Helen, I agree with both your comments about Bill Ditewig. I find it disturbing that they seem to be giving the men in deacon formation in Philadelphia about as much credit for wisdom and discernment as a class of seventh grade Confirmation students.
Ms. Zagano - this reminds me of Sr. Elizabeth's book's ban and researching the experience and credentials of the USCCB committee that made that decision.Rev. Shenosky - ordained in 2000; spent four years & completed his STD in Rome in 2008 with a dissertation on ecumenical theology and comparing the works of Weigel, Peters, Dulles. His STD is in dogmatic theology. Taught for one year at Borromeo; four years at high schools; spent three years in parish work.Rev. Pesarchick - ordained in 1991; got STD in Rome in 2000 in Systematic Theology (dissertation on Trinitarian Foundation of Human Sexuality according to Hans Urs von Balthasar); worked in parish for three years. Current academic dean at Borromeo. Does teach sacraments of marriage, priesthood, diaconate; published article entitled - "Why abolishing Celibacy will not lead to more vocations"; workshops on "Contrasting Perspectives on the Participation of the Laity in Priestly Ministry, "The Sacramental Identity of the Deacon"; "Ordinary and Universal Magisterium in the Thought of John Paul II
Just a few comments on the string: Deacon Ditewig is a deacon of the Archdiocese of Washington, DC; he has made it quite clear that deacons are not priests, and arguing for women as deacons does not imply arguing for women as priests; as the writer of the original post notes, it seems those most frightened about women deacons meaning women priests do not believe the Church teaching about women priests; yes, it is tragic that the Archdiocesan Speaker Approval Commission does not think its deacons capable of being exposed to the US expert on the diaconate.
What does it mean that Christ gave to Peter the power "to bind and to loose"? I have always thought that it meant that Peter (and his successors) were empowered to make operational decisions as well as doctrinal clarifications for the Church. And the earliest Christians seemed to look to him for such guidance.Paul and Barnabas traveled from Antioch to Jerusalem to seek guidance from Peter and the other presbyters on the question of circumcising non-Jewish male converts. It was a momentous matter for a group of Jewish men, who had scarcely begun to think of themselves as adherents of a new religion, to set aside that sign in the flesh of God's holy Covenant with their people. But they did it, secure in the belief that they had that authority.Now Catholics are told to believe (or to shut up about it) that the Church "has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women." So a benighted norm in a remote backwater of the long-gone Roman Empire must be the standard for all time in the universal Church. And amazingly, popes and bishops are ignoring Christ's explicit grant of authority to them and claiming in this one case that they are powerless to govern their own church.A lover of absurdity could ask for no more.
Slippery slope "theology" is no more credible than slippery slope politics.
Mr. Prior,The pope has exercised his authority on the matter of women's ordination. This is what John Paul II wrote: "Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful."As you say, faithful Catholics follow Peter. Peter has spoken on this matter.
"Definitively" is Vaticanese for "I can't establish this on the basis of historical fact or Scripture, so I can't call this an infallible statement, so I'll call it something else and hope nobody noticces I couldn't say it was "infallible"".
"shouldnt we all be thrilled to discover other areas in which the sharing of authority with women might be possible? "MAKE WOMEN CARDINALS
I keep waiting for conservative bishops and theologians to say, but happily we can include them in the fullness of the churchs life and worship in a variety of other ways. What a positive thing for our church.I keep waiting for more bishops and diocesan officials and self-appointed keepers of orthodoxy to say things like that. Why dont they, do you think? It is kind of hard to hear someone talking when you refuse to listen.It's not that Catholics these days are just so easy to confuse, it is that so many take obstinate pride in their confusion and then use that to launch into non-sequiturs and attacks on strawmen.
"As you say, faithful Catholics follow Peter. Peter has spoken on this matter.""It is kind of hard to hear someone talking when you refuse to listen."Thorin--Peter has clearly contradicted himself throughout church history. So check your church history first. Bender- Please tell us how you are listening. The church has clearly had deaconesses. Or is that not part of your listening or are you hearing what you want to hear?
The implosion is coming, the implosion is coming; the sooner the better.Ah, what fear of women has spawned. The sense of threat must feel excruciating to beleaguered bishops with fingers in the dike.I shudder to think that Fathers Shenosky and Pesarchick are training today's seminarians. "While the Magisterium has not made a definitive pronouncement...the possibility of doctrinal confusion..." Ann O - your definition of definitive is vintage Vaticanese. (pardon the alliteration)Here is what Peritus Joseph Ratzinger wrote:Over the pope as the expression of the binding claim of ecclesiastical authority there still stands ones own conscience, which must be obeyed before all else, if necessary even against the requirement of ecclesiastical authority. This emphasis on the individual, whose conscience confronts him with a supreme and ultimate tribunal [God], and one which in the last resort is beyond the claim of external social groups, even of the official Church...Joseph Ratzinger, Part I, Chapter 1, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Vol. V of COMMENTARY ON THE DOCUMENTS OF VATICAN II, ed. Herbert Vorgrimler (New York: Herder and Herder, 1969, p. 134)I do not accept that my conscience is informed only if it agrees with definitive pronouncements from Rome. I must assume responsibility before God and pray for guidance.
Following up on Carolyn Disco's comment: Could it be that this is a moment when the emphasis should be on challenging the church and even disobeying it? Such moments have occurred before. One person who recognized that was Joseph Ratzinger. Paul Knitter heard him say this at a press conference in Rome in1963, during the Vatican Council. Knitter, who teaches at Union Theological Seminary, said that Ratzinger told us that throughout the history of the Roman Catholic Church it has happened that the bishops so lost touch with the message of Jesus that it became incumbent upon the laity to exercise their prophetic role given in Baptism and to stand up and refuse to obey. http://unionindialogue.org/paulknitter/2011/03/15/kung-ratzinger-vs-bene...
Thorin,If you read my comment a little more carefully, you will see that I was not addressing the Pope's authority in general or his use of it in the case under discussion. I merely remarked on his assertion that in the matter of women's ordination, and apparently no other, he has no authority to alter the constitution of the Church even if he wished to. I believe that claim of powerlessness is false, ridiculous, and craven. But it's all the argument he's got. If he was honest, he would say, "We boys just don't want the competition."
Gene, do you have examples of such moments? What caused them and what was the effect of confrontation? Rita's list shows that the current evolution is in the direction of increased rigidity, and Katherine's worries seem warranted to me. Maybe if we just wait for a couple of generations the problem, which now looks so knotted, will resolve itself easily, with fresh thought coming from the non-Western Catholic world. Is there such an urgency?
John Prior makes the common mistake of speaking about "women's ordination." There are several ordinations: deacon, priest, bishop. The discussion Deacon Ditewig has been involved in involves only returning to the Tradition--the tradition of women ordained as deacons. The seminary teachers who wrote about Deacon Ditewig do not seem to understand that Pope Benedict XVI clearly distinguished between the ordination of priests and bishops on the one hand and the ordination of deacons on the other, stating that deacons do not share the priestly ordination or ministry. See Can. 1008-1009 as amended in 2009.
Bill Ditewig has posted two long responses to criticism of him on Fr. Z's bloghttp://wdtprs.com/blog/2012/12/promoter-of-women-deacons-cant-speak-in-a... posted as "Deacon Bill"His lede is:Dear Father Z.,I would normally not respond to much of what has been written here; however, there is so much being misrepresented that I feel I must see your piffle and raise you a kerfuffle.
This is the Fr. Z, expert on all things Catholic (except canon law) who was given a bit of a slap down by Cardinal Burke for writing that attendance at one mass this past Saturday-Sunday would fulfill the obligation of attending mass on both Sunday and a Holy Day of Obligation.Fr. Zuhlsdorf is generally very good, but here hes just plain wrong, said the Cardinal. This is the same Fr. Z who is hosting a seven-day Caribbean cruise/retreat with Michael Voris during Lent next year. (minimum price = over $1,000) - first night cocktail party. I am fairly sure that if the good father were in a parish, his bishop (liberal or conservative) would have strong words about this cruise. As for Michael Voris He too has no oversight.
John Hayes - thanks....the two responses from Deacon Bill are enlightening. Posted the background, credentials, education, and experience of two committee members. If you compare Deacon Bill's experience with these two - well, the differences are significant.Like the Sr. Elizabeth situation - Deacon Bill states that committee objections revolve around the question of *history*. In fact, the book in question has three chapters - Deacon Bill did not write the chapter about history and yet that is what the committee highlights (similar to Sr. Elizabeth's book when some USCCB committee folks acknowledged that they had not read her book but, none the less, voted to sanction it).If you take the responses by Fr. Z and compare to the Phil. committee - you can only be disturbed. Deacon Bill's clarifications of the issues is nuanced, precise, and clear.Would suggest that the Phil. committee doesn't have the experience or background to actually provide a valid response - which leaves us with the usual power play....because they can. Note especially Deacon Bill's clarifications about Magisterium (whether small M or capital M)
John Hayes, thanks for those links to Fr. Z's blog. They are Ditewig at his pastoral best.FWIW, my view on the question of ordaining women to the diaconate is as follows:* Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, an exercise of the church's teaching authority, very precisely excluded the diaconate from the scope of its teaching. In other words, there is no direct appeal to Ordinatio Sacerdotalis to answer the question, "may women be ordained to the diaconate?"* There are at least two sets of questions to be answered: (1) does the church have the authority to ordain women to the diaconate? and (2) if the answer to (1) is yes, then is it prudent for the church to do so now? Appeals to history may help to discern the answer to (1), but it is possible that the answers to the two questions could be, respectively, Yes and No. Thorin's first comment points to one reason that it could come out that way.* Just speaking as one deacon: I wouldn't feel threatened or upset if the answer to the two questions I raised in the previous bullet turns out to be Yes and Yes. There are something like 15,000 of us in the US alone, and a group that large is bound to have a wide range of opinions and preferences on any given question (including nut-job views at either extreme :-)), but I think that most deacons would view it the way I do. Most of us went through formation with our wives, and have had the opportunity to think, pray and discuss the question pretty extensively.
From the Committee's (unpersuasive and detracting) explanation: "[Ditewig] also holds that his ordination as a deacon as well as his ministry somehow includes the deacons spouse so that the two sacraments of marriage and diaconate [sic] ordination become one in the person of the deacon."This claim also deserves closer scrutiny. I doubt that this one-sentence summary does justice to Ditewig's views on the relationship between the sacraments of marriage and Holy Orders. The Committee's statement overall seems to go out of its way to detract Ditewig.
Over on FB, Deacon Ditewig noted that at least one part of the statement from the Philadelphia commission, evidently quoting him, is something he never wrote and he has no idea where it came from. Nor does it reflect, even remotely, anything he has written. He also has indicated that they appear not to have read his published work -- since they attribute to HIM scholarship undertaken by someone else. So this is what we've learned: 1) a commission banned a speaker for published writings of his that it never even read; 2) this same commission banned that same speaker for scholarship that he never even authored; 3) the aforementioned commission jumped to conclusions about the speaker without checking its facts or verifying its sources, and attributed to the speaker things he never said or wrote. Makes perfect sense.
The fact that a person with Deacon Ditewig's reputation and credentials feels the need to defend himself from a person like "Fr. Z" is as vivid an illustration of the alarming state of affairs in the church as I can think of. Talk about morbid symptoms.I think it bears repeating that the commission's essential complaint about Ditewig, as articulated by the diocesan spokesperson in McElwee's article, is that he has written about the question of whether women might be ordained to the diaconate. Which is in no conflict with papal teachings or settled doctrine. The speaker approval commission seems to feel responsible for protecting the people of Philadelphia -- and not just any people, but the people in its diaconate program -- from finding out that issue is even being discussed. Either they're wrong about what their job requires, or they've been given some very bad instruction from their ordinary. Either way, Archbishop Chaput has an opportunity to make it right. Will he? Will any bishop now say, "I am grateful for the many years of faithful service Deacon Ditewig has offered to our church, and he is welcome to speak in my diocese whenever we are fortunate enough to have him"?
The fact that a person with Deacon Ditewigs reputation and credentials feels the need to defend himself from a person like Fr. Z is as vivid an illustration of the alarming state of affairs in the church as I can think of. Talk about morbid symptoms.Agree.

These are the Samsung phones Apple wants banned in the U.S...
Looks like Apple isn't wasting any time listing the Samsung Android phones they'd like to have banned in the U.S. following their $1 billion win last week. And that's a good thing, because a lot of these phones look so old they're probably not being sold much if at all anymore, so the faster they're not sold, the better... right? Both The Verge and FOSS Patents snagged the list:
- Galaxy S 4G
- Galaxy S2 (AT&T)
- Galaxy S2 (Skyrocket)
- Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
- Galaxy S2 Epic 4G
- Galaxy S Showcase
- Droid Charge
- Galaxy Prevail
While it's possible a regional carrier might have been planning to announce some of those as part of their 2012 lineup, given that the Galaxy S3 is the new hotness, I'm not sure how many, if any, actual consumers will suffer from a ban on the old broken.
However, this is just the beginning and Apple will no doubt try to have the ban set up in such a way that it catches any additional, past, present, and future devices that look to be infringing on the same patents. For example, Apple has also asked to have the ban extended on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 cellular variant.
Apple vs Samsung continues...

These are the Samsung phones Apple wants banned in the U.S...
One can't be bothered to Photoshop...
They can but initially they tried (and succeeded for a limited time) to ban the Galaxy Nexus which was released 4th quarter last year and also all of the galaxy s 2 variants were released 3rd /4th quarter last year as well so if they were planning to ban anything new I think they would have done it now because when they filed their suit some of the phones they are seeking bans on had not even been released yet. Plus its pretty obvious that Samsung has branched far from their initial offerings of the galaxy s and the s 3 looks nothing like an iPhone.
So floptech and sock are the same person huh. What's the deal with the picture that obviously has the wrong phones?

Pencils down, people
Thursday, September 30, 2004
We're a little obsessive about digging into hard computing problems, and we love finding more people like us. One way we find obsessive smart problem-solvers is by using a standardized test. Now standardized tests can suck, especially since you usually take them to become a broke student for years on end. Which can lead to starting a career that, if you're lucky, might eventually lead to a really cool job.
But what if there were a standardized test that led, like, immediately to the really cool job? What if, for instance, there was a Google Labs Aptitude Test?
There is. We enjoyed writing it, and if you're our kind of uber-geek, you'll enjoy taking it, and maybe you'd enjoy life as a Googler. Give it a try. The GLAT is four pages long; you can print them out below.
When you're done, send your completed test to:
Google Labs Jobs
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351
Good luck. Take your time, especially with the essay questions. And no, on this one guessing doesn't help.

The University of San Francisco has hired women's basketball Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist Jennifer Azzi to head its women's basketball program. Azzi brings a wealth of basketball experience and a determined work ethic. The women's program has suffered in recent years after winning three straight West Coast Conference championships from 1995-97 and making back-to-back-to-back appearances in the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament.
A 2009 Women's Basketball Hall of Fame inductee and Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame member, Azzi was an Olympian on the gold-medal-winning U.S. national team in 1996, played five seasons in the Women's National Basketball Association, helped to found and played in the American Basketball League, played professionally overseas, and is an icon of Stanford University's women's basketball program.
A four-year starter and three-time All-Pac-10 performer and the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1990, Azzi led the Cardinal to a pair of Pac-10 titles in 1989 and 1990, and a national championship in 1990.
USF is her first coaching assignment.
"Azzi's passion for the game, along with her professional reputation both in and around the sport of basketball, will prove to be a great asset to the program and our student-athletes," said USF Athletic Director Debra Gore-Mann.
Azzi, who has been asked to coach at the collegiate or professional levels every year since she retired in 2003, chose USF because it was the first opportunity that "felt right." "Together we're going to build something really, really great here at USF," Azzi said.
USF President Stephen A. Privett, S.J. welcomed Azzi, saying she clearly supports the university's commitment to excellence on the court, in the classroom, and in the community. "I am delighted to have such a polished, experienced, and articulate professional at the head of our women's basketball program," Fr. Privett said.
When USF community members tuned into the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, they were able to support one of their own—women's alpine skier and USF sophomore Ani Serebrakian.
An exercise and sport science major, Serebrakian—who began skiing when she was 2 and competing when she was 5—skied for the Armenian women's Olympic team, taking on some of the world's top alpine skiers in the technical women's giant slalom and the women's slalom.
"Growing up in America, I never fully understood my Armenian heritage," said Serebrakian, whose parents emigrated from the country that now claims among its most famous artistic ambassadors the Los Angeles-based hard rock band System of the Down. "But, after traveling to Armenia, I came to understand how truly blessed I was to be part of such a culture and history."
Serebrakian, who speaks fluent Armenian, called being named to the Armenia team "humbling" and a "great honor."
Catcher turns from getting into trouble to earning degree
For as long as he can remember, Vacaville native Ryan Lipkin has known that his mother, who raised Lipkin and his younger sister on her own, has asked just one thing of her children—to see them graduate from college. So strong was the catcher's commitment to fulfilling that wish that he twice turned down an opportunity to turn pro, having been drafted by the Oakland Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, but opting to continue working toward his degree.
Getting to this point—Lipkin will earn his bachelor's degree in psychology in May—has not always been easy. The 22-year-old has worked through an injury that forced him to sit out of baseball for seven months, a fight that left him with 37 wounds from a razor blade, and the psychological scars of having one of his best friends killed. Through it all, he credits baseball with keeping him going and focused on earning a degree.
"I definitely think that baseball was one of my stabilizers in leading me…away from the other stuff I was doing," Lipkin said.
Just after turning 17 he ended up in a fight with four men. Lipkin had razor blade wounds across his face, chest, and left bicep. "That was the beginning of me turning myself around because I was like, 'Holy smokes, I could be killed.' That was something I didn't want to put my family through," Lipkin said. "I realized that wasn't where I wanted to go and I ended up waking up and realizing how special each day is." That message was unfortunately reinforced when one of his best friends was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting.
After high school, Lipkin attended Solano Community College, raising his grade-point average from below 2.5 in high school to 3.5. He also rededicated himself to baseball after a snowboarding injury left him with a broken wrist and his right arm in a cast during his first college baseball season.
"After having to sit out and miss so much baseball, you just want to keep going until you can do it again," Lipkin said. "I had the itch to get back in the game so fast."
That dedication has paid off. Not only has Lipkin been a key player for the Dons, hitting .317 with six homers and 26 RBI through April 27, but he also was selected as one of two catchers for the 2008 USA collegiate national team that went 24-0 in international play and ultimately earned a gold medal.
"Ryan brings great energy and eagerness and his free-spirited attitude helps the team compete at very high level every day," said USF Head Coach Nino Giarratano. "He's always grateful for his opportunity and it just rubs off on everybody. Plus, his skill level is phenomenal. In my opinion, he's the best catcher in the country right now and that's going to translate to the next level for him. He's going to be a great professional player."
While Lipkin hopes MLB will once again look his way come draft time in June, he's focused on something even bigger—getting ready to show off that diploma to his mother.

Wendy Davis
Do the Republicans really think they are going to make inroads with the women's vote by attacking Wendy Davis? The Conservatives, like lemmings, are blindly racing for oblivion.
Hitchcock Parkway
This is in regard to the comment on needing to widen Hitchcock Parkway to four lanes because the slow drivers are driving only 40 mph. At the June 20 meeting at H. Odell Weeks Activities Center, an alternative conceptual design was presented that called for narrowing the lanes from 12 feet to 11 feet and lowering the speed to 45 mph the entire way from Silver Bluff to the Aiken-Augusta Highway. Also, there would be no shoulders – just concrete curbs with retaining walls next to them – so if you have to pull over, good luck at not getting killed. There will be no place to pull over. This widening, they said, is for improving both safety and traffic flow, both of which would be seriously impeded by this design.
'Golden Rule'
Every third grader knows that the "Golden Rule" is "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Friday's editorial lauding neighborhood watch groups misquotes it as "Do unto others as they would do unto you", making it more similar to, "An eye for any eye, a tooth for a tooth," the complete opposite of the intent of the "Golden Rule."
Hanford site
The Hanford site in Washington state is a national disaster. Residents of Washington should be alarmed and outraged. Tree huggers should be almost catatonic. The Hanford Radioactive Liquid Storage Facility is currently leaking into the Columbia River at a rate that is alarming to Nuclear Scientists. Engineers and Construction personnel have been rushed to the site to design and build a containment facility and purge the damage already done before the general population becomes aware of the danger.
Once again the liberal element has to whine – does the punishment fit the crime for a comment made many years ago? Who hasn't uttered a word or two that they have regretted saying? Let's look at her total body of work before we condemn this woman.
Zimmerman attention
Is the Zimmerman trial really as news worthy as the mainstream media is making it out to be? I am truly sorry that a young man is dead, but there are thousands of black on white, white on black, black on Hispanic, etc., killings each day that no national attention is given to. My take is the Liberal media want attention diverted from current embarrassments in Obama's White House.

Hoak's 24 Points Lead Hawks Over Franciscan
- Release Date:
- February 4, 2012

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College men's basketball team got back on the winning track after an 89-32 drubbing of Franciscan University February 4. With the win, Hilbert (8-5, 11-9) remains in a two-way tie with Penn State Behrend for 3rd place in the AMCC standings. Chris Hoak's {in photo to right} 24 points led a trio of Hilbert players in double figure scoring, dropping the Barons to a 0-20 record.
After the first twenty minutes of play, the Hawks held a 45-21 advantage due in large part to solid defense, strong rebounding and hot shooting by Chris Hoak who went 3 of 3 from behind the arc and 2 of 2 from the foul line. Dan McFarland also was 6 of 10 from the floor (2 of 2 from long distance). Hilbert held a 20-10 rebounding advantage and forced 11 Baron turn-overs before the break.
The opening minutes of the second half became the Jordan VanDunk show as he scored the Hawks' first 11 points which built a 33-point lead by 16:31. Over the course of the next six minutes, Hoak took over the scoring load, hitting three 3's, making two foul shots, blocking one shot and grabbing a steal.
Hilbert shot 52.8% from for the floor and held Franciscan to just 21.4% field goal shooting. The Hawks doubled up on rebounds (42-22) as well as steals (13-7).
Dan McFarland (21 points, 4 steals) and VanDunk (17 points, game high 9 rebounds) joined Hoak with team high points. CJ Hodge distributed game high 5 assists and was credited with 1 block.
Nolan Albrecht led Franciscan with 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.
Up next for Hilbert is a very important cross-town rival game. They host D'Youville College February 8 (6 pm). In the first meeting, the Hawks came from behind to capture the 86-84 road win in early January.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

If you would like to extend your J-1 status, please contact your department one to two months before the expiration of your current period of authorized stay, as indicated on your DS-2019 form. If you will be extending your J-1 status at NYU, your department administrator will need to include with the Request for DS-2019 form copies of your current immigration documents. Once International Scholar Services receives the request form and supporting documents from your department, International Scholar Services will review the information and issue a new DS-2019 form for your extension. That document legally extends your J-1 visit as long as you remain in the U.S. If you have a spouse or child(ren) in J-2 status, their stays will also be extended.
You do not have to obtain a new J-1 visa stamp in your passport unless you will be traveling outside the U.S. and reentering in J-1 status during your extension period. Should you travel outside the U.S. during this new period of valid J-1 status (other than visits of less than 30 days to Canada or Mexico and adjacent territories), you must have a valid J-1 visa in your passport. If your current J-1 visa has expired, you will use the new DS-2019 to apply for a new J-1 visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate outside the U.S.
A J-1 Exchange Visitor may transfer from one designated Exchange Visitor program to another designated program. The transfer procedures must be completed prior to the end date as noted on the form DS-2019.
Transferring your J-1 status to another institution during your period of authorized stay may be permitted if the new program is consistent with the purpose of your program at NYU, but it will require a release of your record in SEVIS by International Scholar Services. The international office at your new institution must contact International Scholar Services regarding your transfer so the staff can release your record in SEVIS before you start at your new institution.

The Ashley Ridge boys' soccer team won a penalty kick shootout with Summerville Tuesday to claim a 1-0 victory over its cross-town rival.
Swamp Fox goal keeper Stockton Blanchard received the shutout in goal after defending two out of four Summerville PKs during the shootout while his teammates made four out of their five PKs. Cole Edwards, Jake Kreider and Michael Sauter all put shots into the net to set up the game-winning kick by junior Quincy D'Antonio. Bailey Shelbourne and David Kennedy hit PKs for Summerville.
It was the first region win for the Swamp Foxes (5-6-1, 1-3 in Region 8-AAAA) and the first region loss for the Green Wave (5-4-1, 2-1).
"At times we looked sloppy tonight but at others we looked right on and I think that has to do with our age," Ashley Ridge coach Nate Harris said. "We are very young so in a way we are kind of starting over, but the potential is there. I feel bad for what these kids have been through the last few games. We have a great group and they can get the job done because we have been in all our region games this year. We just need to tighten up our play some."
The teams spent most of the first half feeling each other out, but both had some good scoring opportunities in the second half.
Only three minutes into the half Summerville's Mitchell Cook sent a shot into the left goal post. Ryan West gained possession after the ball deflected off the post and got off another shot, but it was wide right.
Anson Girone broke free later in the half and only had Summerville keeper Ashton Tanner between him and the goal, but his shot was just off its mark.
In the 61st minute Summerville's Madison Socha and David Kennedy worked the ball into the Ashley Ridge box but the Swamp Foxes defended the shot. Just more than a minute later, Shelbourne took a shot that sailed just high.
In stoppage time for regulation, Girone passed to Swamp Fox midfielder Britt Soyebo and he sent a nice header toward the goal but Tanner made the save.
Summerville had the best chance to score in overtime. West passed to Brandon Cook in the final 30 seconds of the first overtime period and Cook got off the shot but it was just off its mark.
The Swamp Foxes hit the road April 4 to face Chattahoochee and then return home April 9 to host a region match with Bluffton. Summerville travels to Colleton County April 9 and hosts Beaufort April 12.

Two unbeaten teams take the Automax marquee matchup stage Friday night. Second-ranked Cameron Yoe and McGregor duke it out for the top spot in District 13-2A Division one.
The undefeated Yeomen and Bulldogs are not only trying to stay unbeaten on the year, but there's even more on the line for both sides.
"In McGregor, we don't like to lose to anybody and right now we are 0-2 against the Yoemen in district play," McGregor head coach Tim Sewart said. "Our guys would like to end that drought."
"It's going to be a district championship right here because we are 6-0 and they are 6-0. We are going to go and get it, I think we are going to be out on top when the night is over," Bulldogs' lineman Mario Ocampo said.
"We want to win the district championship," said Cameron Yoe head coach Rick Rhoades. "We just don't want to get into the playoffs, we want to win a district championship. And right now, McGregor stands right in the way, that's somebody we are going to have to take care of in order to do that."
"This might be the championship between this game, we've been practicing hard all week, and we are ready to go," Yoemen running back Keaton Denio said.

My neighbor goes hog hunting every weekend. Runs Hog dogs on his private land.
His freezer is full of hog meat. He just gave me this hind quarter. Gonna smoke it.
Florida is getting overrun with wild hogs. Plus they are getting much much bigger. This one was over 200 pounds.
The State wants to start getting rid of them. Totally legal too shoot them on private land.
Guess they are spreading and producing like rabbits and heading out across the whole country from the South East here.
Watched a documentary on them and they are doing millions in farmers crop damage.

CRESTVIEW — The growing pains continued for the Crestview High School football team last Friday night in a 32-27 loss at Tallahassee Rickards.
First-year Bulldog head coach Tim Hatten said he would grade the game about a "D." The Bulldog offense showed some improvement in spots, but still lacked the consistency Hatten wants.
And after giving up just 27 points in the first two regular-season games the Bulldog defense gave up four long touchdowns to Rickards.
"We have played better every game, we just played a better team last week," Hatten said. "We still left a bunch (of points) out there. We are getting better.
"We are taking baby steps though. Defensively, we did the thing you don't want to do against a good team, give up the big play and we gave up four of them for touchdowns."
The Bulldogs got touchdowns from Khalil Foster, Ronnie Baylark and Emmanuel Reed against Rickards.
Things don't get any easier for Crestview (1-2) this week as the Bulldogs travel to Navarre (1-2) for 7:30 p.m. game.
The Raiders, who beat Crestview 13-8 last season, are coming off a 28-19 win over Pace.
In Navarre, the Bulldogs will see an offense very similar to their own spread attack.
"They are going to run a spread like us," Hatten said. "They use the quick passing game and the speed sweep. We've seen it before.
"I don't think they have as many athletes as Rickards, but they are well coached."
The difference in the teams is on the defensive side of the ball where the Raiders run a 3-3 (three linemen and three linebackers).
"We have a plan," Hatten said. "When we've played against 3-3 teams in the past over the years (at his other coaching stops), we've had pretty decent success.
"They take a lot of chances and will bring seven (defenders close to the line of scrimmage to stop the run or blitz the quarterback). Our biggest thing is we have to count box numbers. If you run into a six-man box you are not going to be successful."
Hatten said Navarre is aggressive and has a good football team.
Sophomore quarterback Corey Armstrong saw his most playing time this season last week. Foster remains the starter, but Hatten said the plan is to get Armstrong more snaps at quarterback.
When Armstrong is at quarterback Foster will likely remain on the field at a wide receiver position.
Hatten knows things take time as the Bulldogs continue to learn his offense. And while he would like for the team to pick up the nuances of the offense more quickly, Hatten isn't ready to hit the panic button.
"I don't really have any major concerns," he said. "We just have to keep playing. District play doesn't start for a few weeks down the road.
"We just have to make sure we are getting better every week and we are not taking a step back."

Students who wish to become involved with the Student Government Association are encouraged to do so. Executive Officers preside over the entire SGA; elections for student body president and vice-president take place toward the end of the spring semester of the previous semester. The Executive Branch is comprised of class presidents and senatorial committee chairmen and women. Each class elects officers to advocate on the class' behalf to the SGA. Elections for class president and vice-president take place within the first three weeks of the fall semester for that year. The Legislative Branch, which is comprised of the Student Senate, is the SGA's largest body. Each hall on campus elects one representative at the beginning of the school year to represent that hall in the senate. Senators have the opportunity to vote on legislation and voice the concerns of students on his or her hall. Off campus students may apply to be a Commuter Senator to represent the needs of the commuter student population. Furthermore, the senate also accepts applications for at-large senators. The term for all SGA elected offices is one academic school year. For more information on how to get involved with the SGA, please contact us by email.
