Society's Ills: Created by the Forced Socialization Which Diminishes Free Expression
Posted on August 30, 2015 by Louis Berry
Whether the ills suffered by humans across the globe are physical or emotional, they can be traced to a single root cause; the inability to live one's life expressing who they are as an individual, and not part of a larger collective. This phenomenon is purposeful as those who control the collectives are the ones who benefit the most from its formation. Continue reading →

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles have too much else going on to be overly excited about ending their miserable run of 14 consecutive losing seasons.
Manny Machado blooped an RBI single that eluded left fielder Matt Joyce's desperate drive with two outs in the 14th inning, and Baltimore beat Tampa Bay 3-2 Thursday to complete a three-game sweep and remain atop the AL East.
With their 81st victory — and 13th in a row in extra innings — the Orioles are assured no worse than a .500 record for the first time since 1997.
"There's a bigger goal in mind," manager Buck Showalter said. "That wasn't the goal from Day One this spring. Really, Day One of the offseason. It's watching other teams for years and saying, 'We want to do what they're doing. We'd like to get a chair at the dance, you know?'"
It's been an incredible season for the Orioles, who finished in the cellar in each of the previous four years. Baltimore (81-62) started the day in a first-place tie with the New York Yankees, who faced Boston on Thursday night.
After briefly celebrating a victory that capped a 5-2 homestand against the Yankees and Rays, the Orioles packed in the clubhouse for a trip to Oakland.
"It makes that West Coast trip a little easier when you win," said closer Jim Johnson, part of a bullpen that kept Tampa Bay scoreless on four hits over the final 6 2-3 innings. "You can enjoy it for a little bit, the five hours you're on the flight, but that's about it."
The Rays fell four games back in the division by virtue of yet another one-run defeat punctuated by a lack of offensive punch. Tampa has lost 13 of its last 16 one-run games, including a 3-2 decision Wednesday night.
"It's just the same old story: We can't score enough runs," manager Joe Maddon said. "We pitched extremely well, we played well in the field overall, loved the effort."
But the Rays stranded 10 and went 1 for 7 with runners with scoring position. Tampa Bay left Camden Yards for Yankee Stadium to play a three-game series that begins Friday night.
Sixteen pitchers took part in the game, which lasted 5 hours, 14 minutes. Tampa Bay used a club-record 26 players, including nine pitchers.
After the Orioles squandered a bases-loaded, no-out threat in the 13th, Chris Archer (0-3) got the first two outs in the 14th before Adam Jones walked and Endy Chavez singled. Machado followed with a soft liner toward the line that Joyce trapped.
"I know it hit my glove on the bottom," Joyce said. "It was hard to tell what exactly happened. Only thing I can tell you is I didn't come up with it."
Machado, a 20-year-old rookie, scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth Wednesday night.
"I'm having a blast," Machado said. "This team is great to be around. It's a great group of guys. We're all excited. We're all having one goal, which is make the playoffs."
The Orioles' success in extras this season matches the longest in the majors since Cleveland won 13 straight extra-inning games in 1995.
Randy Wolf (2-0) earned the win by striking out Joyce with two on in the top of the 14th. Baltimore has won 14 of 19 overall and is 26-11 since Aug. 3.
Although the Orioles blew a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning, they improved to 64-0 when leading after the seventh.
Baltimore loaded the bases with no outs in the 13th but could not score after the Rays employed five infielders in hopes of cutting off the potential winning run at the plate. Robert Andino hit into a force at home, pinch-hitter Matt Wieters struck out and Nate McLouth struck out.
"We came up short that inning," Machado said, "but we won it in the next."
Orioles rookie Wei-Yin Chen gave up two runs and eight hits in 7 1-3 innings. Working with a 2-1 lead in the eighth, Chen walked leadoff hitter Desmond Jennings, who advanced on a passed ball and a stolen base before scoring on a slow roller to third by Ben Zobrist for a hit.
In the bottom half, the Orioles got runners on the corners with one out before Joel Peralta struck out Machado and Mark Reynolds.
Limited to four hits through the first six innings, Baltimore went ahead with a two-run seventh. After Rays reliever Wade Davis mishandled a bunt by Machado, Andino walked and seldom-used backup catcher Taylor Teagarden hit a two-run double into the gap in right-center.
Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson allowed four hits and three walks in five-plus innings. He was pulled after J.J. Hardy led off the sixth with a single.
Jake McGee, who struck out all four batters he faced on Wednesday night, came in and struck out pinch-hitter Lew Ford, Jones and Chris Davis. It was McGee's 18th consecutive scoreless appearance since July 18.
To that point, the game's only run came in the fourth inning. Singles by Zobrist and Evan Longoria put runners at the corners before Jeff Keppinger hit a sinking liner to center. Jones made a fine diving catch, and Zobrist tagged up from third and scored.
NOTES: An MRI on Baltimore RHP Jason Hammel showed no new damage to his right knee, and he hopes to return soon. "It's probably the best situation we could have," he said. … Jennings returned to the Tampa Bay lineup after missing four games with back tightness. … Tampa Bay 2B Ryan Roberts fouled a ball off his left ankle in the 11th and left the game. X-rays were negative. … David Price (17-5, 2.54 ERA) will start Friday night for Tampa Bay against CC Sabathia (13-5, 3.56) . … Baltimore has held the Rays to 10 runs in the last seven games between the teams. … Right-hander batters are 9 for 93 (.097) against McGee. … TB's B.J. Upton went 0 for 6 and was 1 for 14 in the series.

I need some help, I am using a PrimeTest 350 and I am having a problem with a particular model of surge protection lead as shown on this website.
When I run any test for "surge protected leads" on these leads, the PrimeTest 350 gets as far as the "Insulation Test" before failing the appliance. At a point during the Insulation test the lights near the sockets on the lead flash (as in explanation "B" on the website given) the meter reads around 24Mohm and the PrimeTest fails the appliance.
I have 6 of these leads to test and exactly the same thing happens on all the leads which makes me think that it can't be the leads.
Removing the "insulation Test" results in a pass, but I am concerned this is not an acceptable practice and won't pass the leads until I have asked opinion from my peers (that's you lot!).
Your help and advice will be gratefully received.

Forget Westworld, Humans Is the Robot Show You Should Be Watching

Photo of the Day set for December 2012. Penn State's University Park campus.
University Police are seeking information about the identity of the person or people involved in the defacing of the Penn State Veterans Plaza. Black tread marks, likely left by a bicycle, were discovered Monday, Sept. 24, and covered significant portions of the monument's stone panels. The plaza is a gift of the Penn State class of 2011 and was dedicated on Sept. 14 in honor of all of the University's veterans.
"We are appalled and deeply disappointed by this act of vandalism at a monument to our nation's bravest," said Chief of Police Tyrone Parham. "We ask that members of the community who may have information about this crime please contact University Police."
Dedication of the class of 2011 gift to Penn State, the Veterans Plaza. Sept. 14, 2012.
Construction of Lt. Michael P. Murphy and Penn State Veterans Plaza. Senior gift to the university from class of 2011.
Penn State's Senior Class Gift Committee invites the public to celebrate the opening of the Penn State Veterans Plaza, the gift of the class of 2011. The dedication will be held from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14, on the patio of Old Main on the University Park campus. Seating is limited, but all are welcome to attend. For more information about the event, contact the Office of Annual Giving at (814) 863-2052 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Visit http://live.psu.edu/story/55651 for more information about the Penn State Veterans Plaza.
Ennead Architects LLP, based in New York City, has won a competition to design the Penn State Veterans Plaza, the gift of the class of 2011. Last November, more than 2,800 seniors voted to fund the memorial to honor Penn State veterans. The plaza will be located near the intersection of Pollock Road and the Henderson Mall, off the northeast corner of Old Main, on the University Park campus.
Penn State's Senior Class Gift Committee announced Nov. 2 that the class of 2011 has chosen its gift to the University: The Lt. Michael P. Murphy/Penn State Veterans Plaza. Seniors so far have pledged more than $34,000 to the campaign, which will create a plaza that honors Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a 1998 graduate of the University and the only Penn State alumnus to earn the Medal of Honor, and all other Penn State veterans.

Meet Daniel Quinn . . .Daniel Quinn (1935-2018) grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, where he graduated from Creighton Prep in 1953. He studied at St. Louis University, the University of Vienna, and Loyola University of Chicago, receiving a bachelor's degree in English, cum laude, in 1957.
During a twenty-year career in educational and consumer publishing in Chicago, he served as Biography and Fine Arts editor at the American Peoples Encyclopedia, managing editor of the Greater Cleveland Mathematics Program (Science Research Associates), head of the mathematics department at Encyclopedia Britannica Educational Corporation, Executive Editor of Fuller & Dees Publishing (a division of the Times Mirror Corporation) and Editorial Director of the Society for Visual Education (a division of the Singer Corporation).
Mr. Quinn is best known as the author of Ishmael, the novel that in 1991 won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship, established to encourage authors to seek "creative and positive solutions to global problems." Ishmael has been in print continuously since its publication in 1992 and has been made available in more than 25 languages. Thoroughout the U.S. and Canada and in other countries as well, Ishmael is used as a text in a broad range of classes that include anthropology, ecology, history, literature, philosophy, ethics, biology, and psychology, at age levels from middle school through graduate level.
He followed Ishmael with an autobiography, Providence (1994), The Story Of B (1996), a novel that continues the philosophical and religious exploration begun in Ishmael; and My Ishmael: A Sequel (1997), in which it's learned that, unbeknownst to the narrator of Ishmael, Ishmael was working with another pupil, a twelve-year-old girl. Other works include Beyond Civilization (1999), a nonfiction work that explores, among other relevant topics, tribal ways of making a living that work here and now; After Dachau (2001), a novel that critics have compared to Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, and 1984; The Man Who Grew Young, a graphic novel that tells the unique and fascinating story of a man who lives backward through time and history; The Holy (2002), a metaphysical thriller that has been compared to John Fowles' The Magus (and which won the 2003 Independent Publisher Award for Mystery/Suspense/Thriller of the Year); Tales of Adam (2005), written as part of an early version of the book that ultimately became Ishmael, illustrated by Michael McCurdy; Work, Work, Work, (2006), a children's book with Quinn's own illustrations; and If They Give You Lined Paper, Write Sideways, in which the author investigates the source of his own ideas (which so many readers have found mysteriously alien). His short fiction has appeared in The Quarterly, Asylum, Magic Realism, and elsewhere.
He instituted the Stateville Penitentiary Writers' Workshop (1969-71) and served on the Board of Listeners of the World Uranium Hearing, Salzburg, Austria, convened in 1992 to hear testimony of victims of uranium mining, nuclear waste disposal, and nuclear power disasters around the world. He has addressed students and faculty at the University of Massachusetts, the University of Texas, Trinity University, Portland State University, Salisbury State University, Elon College, Baylor University, Texas A&M, the University of Georgia, Roger Williams University, Kent State University, Rice University, the University of Oregon, St. Louis University, and other colleges, community colleges, and high schools. He has been a keynote speaker for conferences and meetings for groups such as The Minnesota Social Investment Forum, St. Martin's College World Population Forum, Systems Thinking in Action, Vision 2000, Iowa State University's Institute on World Affairs, the North American Association for Environmental Education, The Foundation for Contemporary Theology, and EnvironDesign3.
Here's more information about the Quinns.

Antihistamines can cause drowsiness, which might help you fall asleep for a few nights — but routine use of antihistamines for insomnia isn't recommended.
Antihistamines, mainly used to treat symptoms of hay fever or other allergies, induce drowsiness by working against histamine, a chemical produced by the central nervous system. In fact, most over-the-counter sleep aids contain antihistamines. These sleep aids are intended to be used for only two to three nights at a time, however, such as when stress, travel or other disruptions keep you awake.
Tolerance to the sedative effects of antihistamines can develop quickly. As a result, the longer you take them, the less likely they are to make you sleepy. Side effects might include daytime drowsiness, dry mouth and dizziness.
Also, diphenhydramine and doxylamine — sedating antihistamines found in various over-the-counter sleep aids — aren't recommended for people who have closed-angle glaucoma, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or severe liver disease.
Diphenhydramine and doxylamine have anticholinergic properties that make them poor choices for older adults. Recent studies have shown that anticholinergics might increase the risk of dementia. These drugs also have numerous side effects in older adults, such as confusion, hallucinations, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, nausea, impaired sweating, inability to empty the bladder completely (urinary retention) and rapid heart rate (tachycardia).
Keep in mind that most sleep aids aren't recommended for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
If you're struggling with chronic insomnia, don't rely on antihistamines or other over-the-counter sleep aids for a good night's sleep. Start with lifestyle changes instead:
If you continue to have trouble falling or staying asleep, consult your doctor. In addition to lifestyle changes, your doctor might recommend ways to make your sleeping environment more conducive to sleep or suggest behavior therapy to help you learn new sleep habits. In some cases, short-term use of prescription sleep aids might be recommended as well.

"The Words That We Need" is a Quote Cards collection featuring 20 different colour compositions, each coming with an unique quotation in Helvetica Neue.
Sometimes words are not enough, but in other cases-they might be just what we need. The idea for this project was to bring you words that would make you think, calm or motivate you.
I was looking for a beautifully designed simple form, for colour compositions that work as a whole. The colour palette was inspired by the colorful building facades in Copenhagen-each card features 2 main colours and is followed by the next one in a colour composition-just as buildings attach to each other being beautifully random. As a result, I ended up with a pattern that could continue infinitely, as well as be arranged in multiple compositions.
*Size standard A6 printed on high-quality 350gsm matte paper
All printed and assembled in a local print shop in East London. Designed to be rearranged in beautiful geometric patterns or signed and sent as a greeting card. Available to be purchased as a single card or as a box of 20.

Huxley's account of his journey to Guatemala and southern Mexico via the West Indies. This is an idiosyncratic piece of travel writing by a great novelist. Worth reading, though his perspective is very much of its times (the early 1930s) and needs to be taken with care. Read full review

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5: Production Premium Demo download link:Adobe CS 5.5 Production Premium 30-day Trial Version Includes Premiere Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, Encore, Audition, Illustrator, On Location and more. Cost of full application: 50% off ($849.50) thanks to a limited time "switch" promotion! Regularly $1650 for the suite of applications; $440 for the same suite in its "student/teacher" edition. (PremierePro can also be bought separately, but this is not nearly the same value as the bundle, which includes After Effects, Audition, Encore, etc.)
Avid Media Composer Demo download link:Avid Media Composer 5 Free 30-day Trial Cost of full application: $995 thanks to a limited time "switch" promotion. Regularly $2295; $295 for educational edition.
Lightworks Finally, it should be noted that Lightworks -- a professional editing application used to cut such films as Pulp Fiction, The Departed, and The King's Speech -- has gone open source for Windows and is slated for a late-2011 release on the Mac. If you currently have a dual-boot Mac, this is definitely a no-risk option to consider.
IzzyVideo: Final Cut Pro X Tutorial Cost: Free! Notes: Over 2.5 hours of training videos, plus project files. I don't expect this to go into a ton of detail, but what I've watched so far seems pretty good, and you can't beat the price.
Ripple Training: FCP X Cost: $40 Notes: I've used Ripple Training tutorials for earlier editions of Final Cut Pro, and I find them very efficient ways of getting up to speed on the application. These download to your iPad or computer through the iTunes store.
Larry Jordan: FCP X Cost: $99 for the entire set of tutorials. Or chapters for $15 each. Notes: Larry Jordan's previous FCP tutorials have been very good, but I can't say whether these are worth the extra cost over the Ripple tutorials. Jordan's tutorials have a little more personality than Ripple's, which is a pro or con depending on your taste.
Adobe: Editing With Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 If You're an Final Cut Pro user Cost: Free! Notes: A PDF that lays it all out -- straight from Adobe. Clearly they are in it to win it.
Adobe: Switching to Adobe Premiere Pro 5 Cost: Free! Notes: Covers same info as above, but in video form. About 80 minutes of tutorials to help you make the switch from FCP to Premiere Pro. Probably not enough to train you completely, but enough to let you reassure you that switching to Adobe would be a simple transition.
Adobe: Adobe TV - Learn Premiere Pro CS5 Cost: Free! Notes: Excerpts from the Lynda.com training listed below. Probably not a solution for advanced training.
Adobe: Learn Premiere Pro CS5 and CS 5.5 Cost: Free! Notes: Mostly text-based tutorials.
Lynda.com: Premiere Pro CS5 Essential Training Cost: $25/month gives you access to all Lynda.com training videos. Notes: 5 hours of training videos on Premiere Pro.
Lynda.com: Premiere Pro CS 5.5 New Features Cost: $25/month gives you access to all Lynda.com training videos. Notes: 27min of tutorials about new features in PP 5.5. You would want to watch this after the tutorials listed above.
Lynda.com: Encore CS 5 - Essential Training Cost: $25/month gives you access to all Lynda.com training videos. Notes: 4hrs of tutorials on Adobe's DVD authoring application.
Lynda.com: Audition 3 Essential Training Cost: $25/month gives you access to all Lynda.com training videos. Notes: 6.5 hrs on Adobe's audio editing application. Doesn't appear to be fully up-to-date for CS5.5 version of the application.
Lynda.com: After Effects (various) Cost: $25/month gives you access to all Lynda.com training videos. Notes: Hours upon hours of tutorials for Adobe's acclaimed effects and post-production application. Newcomers should start with After Effects Apprentice, which is 14 hours over 7 lessons.
Avid: Avid Media Composer 5: Getting Started Cost: Free! Notes: 3 hours of tutorials from Avid to get you started on Media Composer.
Lynda.com: Avid Media Composer 5 - Essential Training Cost: $25/month gives you access to all Lynda.com training videos. Notes: Nearly 6 hours of tutorials on Avid. This appears to replicate some of the free training Avid provides, but at twice the length, one assumes it also goes into more depth.
Avid: Avid for FCP Users Cost: $50 Notes: DVD-based tutorial. Does not appear to be available online.

Several issues for the markets this week:
1) China change of leadership;
2) Greek parliamentary vote on Tuesday for the Troika's austerity plan (the Troika releases their report on Thursday, the betting is they will likely release the money, but only through an escrow account), and
3) The U.S. election.
The fiscal cliff and the political stalemate. The markets are concerned because it has dawned on everyone that the likely outcome is a stalemate no matter who wins. That's the real problem with this election.

New London police coping with aging equipment
New London - The chance of being captured on video during a traffic stop in New London is diminishing these days, thanks to aging equipment in police department patrol cars.
Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard said last week that seven of the 17 cameras installed in vehicles are out of service. They are part of an older system that needs replacement, he said, but even the newer models have their quirks and are showing signs of age.
The subject came up at a recent police Community Relations Committee meeting in which members asked about the recording of an incident that was the target of a complaint against the department.
"As a matter of policy we routinely place vehicles with working cameras in service on all shifts," Reichard said. "However, at times when those are out of service, vehicles without cameras are required to be used."
Reichard said the video is helpful in prosecutions and more often than not helps to clear an officer of wrongdoing when an allegation of misconduct is made. One of the more famous cases linked to a police video, however, occurred in 2010 and involved allegations of misconduct by New London police officers. City resident Lance Goode complained that a police vehicle video shows Office Roger Newton, who has since resigned, dropping a bag of pills at the scene of his arrest.
Goode has a pending civil suit against Newton, five other officers and the city. U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton issued a ruling March 14 denying motions to dismiss claims against patrolmen Todd Lynch, Wayne P. Neff, David McElroy and Kyle Gorra, Sgt. Lawrence M. Keating and the city.
The cameras are not the only equipment aging at the department, for which the newest patrol vehicles were purchased in 2010. Half of the fleet of 30 patrol vehicles, consisting of the now discontinued Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors, have each logged more than 60,000 miles.
"We're in desperate need of at least six patrol cars immediately," Reichard said at the recent police committee meeting.
Reichard said the highest-mileage cars, which are used around the clock and spend countless hours idling, have reached the critical point. As in many municipalities hindered by financial woes, New London's likelihood of funds becoming available this year is slim.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, responding to questions about funding, said no decisions have been made.
"The City Administration and Police Administration will review the budget that was passed to assess how best to address staffing, equipment, and vehicle needs," Finizio said.
Public Works Director Tim Hanser said the city council has yet to act on the capital budget proposed for fiscal year 2014, in which police have requested $200,000 for four vehicles. The city is more than two months into the fiscal year. The council did not act on the department's request for $322,000 in the last budget.
Hanser said the city is attempting to revise its replacement schedule and that the police department is not alone in the aging vehicle department. Public Works, he said, has a "front line" plow truck that dates back to 1986.
The fire department also has a 20-year-old pumper in need of replacement, which could cost in the neighborhood of $500,000.
Hanser said that mileage is not the only determining factor in whether a vehicle is replaced, especially for police vehicles whose engines are running constantly while they sit at roadway projects and have logged mostly city miles as opposed to highway miles.
"Idling a car is brutal on an engine," Hanser said.
As the fleet ages, the need for maintenance increases, he said.
One of the highest-mileage vehicles at the department is used by K-9 Officer Todd Lynch, the local union president, who said his vehicle has more than 122,000 miles.
Lynch said K-9 officers drive their vehicles home at night because of the dog, which may account for some added mileage, but added, "I don't know how comfortable you're supposed to feel chasing another vehicle at high speeds with that kind of mileage."
"The most important thing for me is the safety of our officers," Lynch said.
Reichard said the city's information technology department is looking for ways to pay for new equipment, and a formal request for vehicle cameras has not yet been made. Reichard is also part of the working group researching camera systems for the downtown and crime hot spot areas.
The department, Reichard said, is exploring the idea of leasing marked patrol vehicles in three-year cycles, which would replace about a third of the fleet on regular rotations.

Three people were killed when a small plane that took off from the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport north of Denver crashed near Loveland Ski Area on Monday morning.
The plane, a single-engine Piper, was headed for Moab, Utah, a representative of the National Transportation Safety Board said, according to 7News.
The crash was reported just before 9 a.m. by a hiker and sparked a small wildfire on the ski area's slopes, the Summit Daily News reported. Authorities have not identified the three victims.
Rico Argentati of Centennial told The Denver Post that he was hiking in the area when he saw the plane heading west approaching the Continental Divide.
The plane was traveling "at a pretty good rate of speed" and very low, Argentati said. Standing at almost 12,000 feet, he said, he saw the aircraft turn back east, dip down and disappear into the trees.
Other witnesses saw the plane flying toward the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel when it appeared to lose power and attempt to turn back east before crashing, the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office told 7News.
"This is a really sad thing to watch," Argentati said. "I knew what was going to happen. You could just tell."
The plane went down at Loveland Valley, a beginner ski area separate from the main resort with an independent base area.
Two investigators from the safety board were dispatched to the crash site.
Investigators said it was too early to determine any identifying information for the plane. The aircraft's tail number was destroyed in the crash, officials said.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michelle Obama sent TV viewing figures soaring after an emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention that lit up the Twitterverse with messages suggesting she should one day be a presidential candidate herself.
The first lady's Tuesday night address in Charlotte, North Carolina, was watched by 26.2 million Americans across nine cable and network channels, according to final Nielsen data.
That was 4 million more than tuned in for the 10 p.m. hour a week ago to hear Ann Romney speak about husband Mitt, Obama's Republican challenger in the November 6 presidential election.
The TV audience was also 4 million more Americans than watched the first day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, but below the 30.3 million who watched Mitt Romney's prime time address from Tampa last week.
In social media, reaction to Michelle Obama's speech was off the charts, and Twitter was packed with messages wondering whether she would one day run for the highest office in the land herself.
Mrs. Obama racked up 28,000 tweets per minute at the conclusion of her speech on the opening night of the convention, according to Twitter. That was double the 14,000 that Mitt Romney saw in his convention speech in Tampa, Florida, last week. Ann Romney's tweets per minute tally was just over 6,000.
CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said the first lady had scored "not a home run but a grand slam."
Mark Iafrate, creative director for online tracking firm General Sentiment, said Michelle Obama was "the most discussed person at the DNC," next to the president himself.
Twitter hashtags #michelleobama and #firstlady were among the top five trending topics on Tuesday night. Mrs. Obama's Twindex score, which measures tweeters' feelings about a political person, rose from 71 before the speech to 84 immediately afterward.
President Obama got an even bigger boost. His Twindex score rose from 25 before his wife took to the stage to 54 immediately afterward. Traditional opinion polls, however, continued to show Obama and Romney in a tight race.
In a canny move, the White House put out a cozy photo of Obama and his two daughters curled on a sofa listening to Michelle's speech. The photo had notched more than 171,000 views by Wednesday afternoon, making it by far the most popular White House photo in months.
Comedian Chris Rock didn't hold back on Twitter: "I'm ready to vote NOW dammmit! Where's the ballot? What day is it? Where am I? Who am I? Michelle OBAMA ladies & gentlemen. wow."
Many others looked beyond the mom-in-chief mantle that Mrs. Obama has assumed.
"I think we need to stop comparing Michelle Obama's speech to first lady speeches and start comparing it to presidential ones. That strong." said Twitter user Heidi N. Moore.
"Screw it, make Michelle Obama the president of the whole damn world," said David Robert on the microblogging site.

I am a professional hunter in South Africa and have seen 1000's of animals shot in my life. I know what projectiles I want my rifle hunters to use. I also worked as a Wildlife manger in Washington State for 12 years. My primary responsibility was removing problem bears. I run a bear hunting and guide business and removed them in the 100's.
Recently with the ammo shortage I was searching for a dependable source of bullets. Hunters Supply PHP looked interesting and were available with the shipping included made the prices very clear. I bought 500 44 Cal 240 grain FP and PHP.
It was 9:00 after tracking for many hours I started crawling and sliding down a steep hill under a dark ceiling of leaves, wearing Blackberry thorns like Velcro to my clothing. Adrenaline flowing, while hanging onto a branch to keep from sliding on top of the bear, I held steady and shot that bear. Thank goodness for a double action revolver at this point. It's these kinds of moments in my life that create the need for a very good bullet. The HP bullets though......... wow, what an attitude changer they are! I shoot them at 1250 fps and mushroomed perfectly, they are simply brilliant!
Thanks, Jim Hackiewicz www.huntingadventures.net
Having done so well on the 50 yard range. I decided to fire my last two rounds on the 100 yard. Given my 76 year old eyes, an 1881 Marlin in .38-55 (mfr. 1881), and Hunters Supply 260 Gr.FN (.381) the results were amazing - a one inch group. I also use the Hunters Supply 40 Caliber 180 grain FP .401 in my 1889 Marlin chambered for the .38-40 cartridge. I have shot nice groups at 40 yards, but haven't done anything at 100 yards, I'll be back.

Revolution is a heartworm preventative (also kills fleas, ear mites, sarcoptic mange mites and ticks), but it isn't a de-wormer for intestinal parasites (other worms). Homie will need to be protected from heartworm for his entire life since it can kill a dog. It could be seasonal, depending on where you live, since heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes, but I'd check with your vet to be sure. There are other heartworm preventatives (pills and, I think, shots)... the pill is also monthly and the shot available, I think, is every six months. I use Revolution, too, because if I only had to do it every six months, I'd probably forget and I don't want to do that.
Hope that helps.
Hope that helps.
say a dog is 3 years old does he still get dewormed
No, not necessarily, unless the vet knows he has worms. Just make sure a stool sample is a part of his yearly health exam to be sure. And if your dog has any symptoms of worms (diarrhea, sometimes with blood, weight loss, dry hair, general poor appearance and vomiting), you should get it checked out right away. Sometimes you can see worms in the poo or vomit (gross, I know), but often you can't.
he eats the pears that fall of the pear tree in my yard. that sneaky dog
Yeah, diarrhea doesn't always mean worms, but definitely bring in a (fresh!) sample this week. Last time Chico had diarrhea, he didn't have any worms, but he was pretty miserable. When I made an appointment for him, the woman answering the phone told me I didn't need a stool sample. Poor Chico... when we got there, the vet had to "reach in" for a sample.

A distraught woman goes to her gynecologist. When the doctor asks her what is wrong, she says, "Remember the hormones you gave me? Well, look what happened!"
She unbuttons her blouse and reveals her chest, completely covered with hair. The doctor is aghast. He says, "I've never seen anything like this. How far down does it go?"
She says, "All the way down to my penis! And that's the other thing we have to talk about!"

My father's cousin is my cousin - to a different degree.
My father's first cousin is my first cousin once removed, but we generally just use the word 'cousin'.
Student or Learner
I have one question regarding Pride and Prejudice.....
In chapter 13.....Mr. Bennet at first mentions Mr. Collins to be his cousins....afterwards Mr. Collins is treated as the cousins of Miss Bennts...
How is it possible?
My father's cousin is my cousin - to a different degree.
My father's first cousin is my first cousin once removed, but we generally just use the word 'cousin'.
well, I understand that Mr. Collins is the son of Mr. Bennet's brother...... and a cousin to Miss Bennets......Then should he not be a nephew to Mr. Bennet?
If a word like Nephew is there then why use cousin? Is it not an honest mistake? Or, in western culture something like that really exists?
chapter 13== Mr. Bennet says
This roused a general astonishment; and he had the pleasure of being eagerly questioned by his wife and his five daughters at once.
After amusing himself some time with their curiosity, he thus explained:
"About a month ago I received this letter; and about a fortnight ago I answered it, for I thought it a case of some delicacy, and requiring early attention. It is from my cousin, Mr. Collins, who, when I am dead, may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases."
then the letter from Collins
"Hunsford, near Westerham, Kent,
"15th October.
"Dear Sir,"The disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured father always gave me much uneasiness,
.................................................. ..................................
then there is a section after the letter from Collins--
To Catherine and Lydia, neither the letter nor its writer were in any degree interesting. It was next to impossible that their cousin should come in a scarlet coat,
This relation seems pretty conflicting to me.....
There is no indication anywhere in the passages you have quoted to suggest that the 'late honoured father' of Mr Collins and Mr Bennet were brothers.
We are told only that Mr Collins is a cousin of Mr Bennet, and that he is also a cousin of Mr Bennet's daughters. This is fine, as I have explained.
If your parents and mine are siblings, you and I are first cousins; if our grandparents are siblings, we are second cousins; If our great-grandparents are siblings, we are third cousins, and so on.
If there is a one-generation gap, we are 'xth cousins once removed' – for example, I am the first cousin once removed of my father's first cousin; if there is a two-generation gap, we are 'xth cousins twice removed', and so on.
As I have already mentioned, we are not normally concerned about family relationships in such detail. We normally refer to a relative as 'a cousin', or possibly 'some sort of (distant) cousin'. You will see detailed descriptions only in writing about well-known people –
The Duchess of Cornwall is Prince Charles's ninth cousin once removed.
Ulysses Grant and Franklin D Roosevelt were fourth cousins once removed.
Fivejedjon and Queen Elizabeth II are seventh cousins three times removed"
*ps, Liz has been known to boast of the relationship, but I rarely mention it, as some of third to sixth cousins were conceived on the wrong side of the blanket.
Last edited by 5jj; 20-Oct-2011 at 10:34. Reason: ps added
What 5jj says is true: the OP has no cited any textual support for the idea that the cousin is really a nephew. But in Shakespeare's time (and possibly still in Austen's) the word 'cousin' was used with a very general sense of blood relationship. I believe - though I don't have the text to hand - even Shakespearean brothers address each other as 'coz'.
hmmm......well...I still am researching on it....there has to an explanation solid enough to prove this...not just suppositions.....
The word is known to be used in a casual way rather than a specific way when talking about relationships outside the area of genealogy. This is not a supposition- it is a fact. You haven't produced any textual evidence, so where is this research? When I was a child, it was common to call friends of your parents uncle or aunt even though they were not related at all. This flexible use of family terms for people is common in many languages and cultures.

Medieval castles had their drawbridges, palaces have their triumphal arches, and suburban terraces have their garden gates and porches; making a statement at an entrance has always been important, it's human nature. Many office buildings have large atria for much the same reason, yet the lift lobbies on each floor are as much an entranceway – and to some extent more so – to a workplace, yet for the most part they are dull. Monochrome walls and monochrome floor interrupted only by the metallic lift doors. Does this need to be so? I would argue not. It is both relatively cheap to bring a sense of energy to a life lobby – with decals of images or branding – and important to inspire employees as they enter their place of work. It sets the tone for the rest of the floor.
Credit Suisse in Cabot Square, Canary Wharf have been piloting new ways of working on one of their floors, as part of which they have done just that – created a lively and energising lobby which echoes the theme of the floor's design with images of London icons. These images and other London icons are visually repeated and manifested physically throughout the floor, including two London telephone boxes with both Bakelite and VoIP phones inside. The new ways of working floor which Credit Suisse has created is an impressive space for 250 employees, with a variety of zones nestled in amongst each other differentiated by elements of design which show instinctively what mood and activities each caters for.
There are lounge zones for small ad hoc meetings (complete with great coffee machines), quiet zones for concentrated individual work, project zones for intense collaboration, bookable and non-bookable meeting rooms, individual soundproof pods for conducting teleconferences and other confidential work in, drop-in pods for those 15 minute gaps between meetings, as well as 'traditional' open desk zones.
Two spatial innovations I was particularly impressed by were the 'garden' zones and the 'view seats'. The garden zones had individual workspaces nestled in amongst a variety of plants. The zones were partially enclosed, creating an incredible impression of being in a walled garden, albeit 18 floors up and with great views over London. I know which zone I would head to each morning. The view seats are also an interesting idea – though not practical for every office space – these are individual seats with a small table looking directly out over London, allowing employees to drop-in for some creative thinking, for five minutes away from the buzz of the rest of the floor, or just to eat their sandwiches with a view to look at.
There are some great innovations in the technology throughout the floor, alongside the elements which are necessary for new ways of working – universal laptops and pervasive WiFi access. The power source of each of the 'desks' have several plug sockets but also include USB power sockets, making the charging of phones, tablets and headsets far easier. The individual lockers (the only 1:1 ratio on the floor!) are locked and released by an electronic PIN mechanism, avoiding the need for padlocks. Finally, there is a 'laptop hotel', a room where employees can leave their laptops in secure drawers plugged into power and the network, allowing them to access the network remotely through their laptops.
The floor is part of a global programme currently in three locations – Singapore (200 users), Zurich (2,700 users) and London (250 users). I look forward to seeing the long term results of the programme as it is rolled out even more widely across Credit Suisse offices globally.

McDonald's has apologized for their controversial Big Mac ad that parodies a mental health PSA.
The ad in question features a woman with a black background. She is covering her face as she looks down. The words "You're Not Alone," pop out in bold white letters while the subhead reads "Millions of people love the Big Mac." A toll-free phone number is also seen in the ad to advise people who are "suffering" from this sort of issue to call the number for help.
According to the the Huff Po, the number connects to McDonald's corporate line.
The controversial poster raised many eye brows after it was seen adorning Boston's T subway system vehicles prompting many commuters to take pictures and post them on social media.
Time Magazine reported Tuesday that a representative from the famous chain restaurant said the commercial was not approved by McDonald's before being published.
You're not alone. Everyone loves the Big Mac. twitter.com/foreveRizel/st…— #SomethingLight (@foreveRizel) April 5, 2013
"A local print ad displayed on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) was recently brought to our attention," McDonald's spokesperson Nicole DiNoia wrote. "We can confirm this ad was not approved by McDonald's. And, as soon as we learned about it, we asked that it be taken down immediately. We have an approval process in place, with our marketing and advertising agencies, to ensure that all advertising content is consistent with our brand values. Regrettably, in this incident, that process was not followed. We sincerely apologize for this error."

In a case that could decide the fates of 20 alleged criminals, a judge has rejected their attorney's claim that the prosecutor was improperly appointed by Governor Peter Shumlin.
Defense Attorney David Sleigh argued that Keith Flynn never resigned from the States Attorney post to which he was elected in 2010. Instead, Flynn became the Commissioner of Public Safety, and Governor Shumlin appointed Alan Franklin as States Attorney.
But Sleigh says the governor has no power to fill a job from which no one formally resigned. So he wants 20 cases brought by Franklin to be dismissed.
Superior Court Judge Howard VanBenthuysen disagrees, ruling that, quote "in the absence of a specific Vermont election statute governing this set of facts, and given that the office of the States Attroney cannot and should not be vacant, that the Governor did, in this case, have the power under the Constitution to appoint Mr. Franklin to assume the new term vacated…."
Sleigh says he is disappointed in that ruling, even though he agrees that it's important to keep the wheels of justice moving.
"Well it is, but it's important to keep them moving forward with a legitimate prosecutor who's been elected, not illegitimately appointed," Sleigh said in response to Friday's decision.
Sleigh says he will appeal the ruling all the way to the Vermont Supreme Court, if necessary.

But corruption and collusion are only part of the problem. In a coup for incompetence, quibbling over the definition of "bridge" has compromised a $2.4 billion border fence, ostensibly designed to stop illegals from entering the country across the Rio Grande.
Why? Because the metal footbridges on either side of the fence provides easy passage for illegal immigrants and smugglers without their feet even getting wet.
Alicia A. Caldwell explained in her report to the Washington Times that because "they are not called bridges, but rather 'grade control structures' … built in the 1930s to stabilize and prevent a shift during high river flow," the footpaths, or whatever one wishes to call them, now accommodates any terrorist who wishes to enter the country. A Hudspeth County's Sheriff, Lt. Robert Wilson, noted that "a terrorist could pass through here with weapons of mass destruction and be in the United States and up on the interstate and gone in a short time." Reporter Alicia Caldwell further notes that there are always fresh sneaker tracks on the structures, indicating they're being used as passageways into the United States.
Which brings up the question: Is this simple incompetence? If the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is aware of the problem, it also knows that 600 miles worth of "fencing" — be it high- or low-tech — is inadequate to cover a 1,200-mile swath.
The first giveaway that something more than incompetence was at work in the post-9/11 "new-and-improved" emphasis on national security came in February 2005, when Texas Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean were sentenced to 20 years in prison for doing their job. An Assistant U.S. Attorney came up with the now-infamous charge that "it is a violation of Border Patrol regulations to go after someone who is fleeing." The fellow they were chasing in a small town close to El Paso — Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, a Mexican citizen — had smuggled drugs into the United States more than once. Even so, Davila, who while escaping across the border was shot by one of the agents in the buttocks after a physical altercation with him and (according to the agent) pulling a gun, was given full immunity to testify against the agents as well as free medical care at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso for non-life-threatening injuries.
Never mind that Agent Ramos had been instrumental in the capture of nearly 100 drug smugglers and the seizure of untold thousands of pounds of narcotics and nominated as Agent of the Year, a nomination that was withdrawn following the shooting incident. Prosecutors nevertheless treated the drug smuggler as a martyr, refusing to allow testimony that would have helped the border guards.
It was almost as if the federal government were sending a message, remarked T. J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union representing border agents. He was convinced that the excessive prosecution of Ramos and Compean was part of a larger effort by the federal government to warn other agents that confronting an illegal immigrant would result in vigorous prosecution (and persecution).
Under intense public pressure, President George W. Bush commuted the sentences of the two agents in 2009, moving them to a program of "supervised release" for three years. By then, Ramos had been beaten and kicked with steel-toed boots by inmates — thought to be illegals. Davila finally was sentenced to prison for (surprise!) drug smuggling.
By last year, a GAO Report was identifying gross security vulnerabilities at our borders. A report, obtained by the Terrorism Committee of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, concluded that terrorists were sauntering through most of the covertly tested ports of entry using counterfeit identification. Undercover agents examined ports of entry — by air, sea, and land, wherever international travelers can legally enter the United States — and made 42 "illicit" crossings with a 93 percent success rate, revealed Jim Kouri in an article for NewsWithViews that was posted to the Web by former intelligence officer and police detective Mike Snopes.
In four states on the northern border (Washington, New York, Michigan, and Idaho), three states on the southern border (California, Arizona, and Texas), and two other states requiring international air travel (Florida and Virginia), government inspectors generally accepted oral assertions and counterfeit identifications provided by GAO undercover investigators as proof of U.S. citizenship and allowed them to enter the country.
"President Obama [did] not so much as mentioned the …GAO report that showed the ease with which weapons of mass destruction — including nuclear weapons — could be surreptitiously brought across U.S. borders," said Snopes.
So much for Barack Obama's much-ballyhooed Nuclear Security Summit of exactly one year before. As if to snub the GAO, he cut back the number of Border Patrol agents even further!
Any student of history knows that no good can come from a combination of extremism, fraud, graft, and indulgence of criminal blackmail. The Obama administration is now spreading a fertilizer of chaos, anarchy, fear, resentment, and suspicion that eventually will culminate in a backlash. At that point, only a declaration of marshal law and imposition of a police state would be able to rein in wholesale disrespect for the law, anger at government itself, and cynicism toward once-cherished institutions.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is providing most Americans their first glimpse of their future under a regime where everyone is suspect. The more upstanding the citizen, the more likely is that person to be held up as an example, under the ruse of fairness and egalitarianism.
Today it is still possible for someone with high-name-recognition — for example, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, who gets a "whole nine yards" pat-down every time he goes through an airport since he had a titanium hip replacement in 2008 — to garner attention with a lawsuit against federal agencies without landing in the slammer himself. But the overwhelming majority of the traveling public gets more grief than face-time on camera for their trouble, as the now-famous, 31-year-old software programmer, John Tyner, from Oceanside, California, discovered when he was thrown out of San Diego International Airport last November following his "don't touch my junk" quip. What he got for his refusal to submit to a pat-down was a threatened lawsuit and a $10,000 fine to boot.
Unfortunately, Americans today are already conditioned to expect harassment from grade-school age. So they suffer, sheep-like, through the indignities imposed by their "betters" rather than complain. But of course, Ventura did complain, and as his attorneys noted last January, the gropes and searches are "unwarranted and unreasonable intrusions [of] personal privacy and dignity and ... a justifiable cause ... to be concerned for … [a passenger's] personal health and well-being."
So far, Ventura's protestations and dual lawsuits against TSA and DHS do not appear to have helped either him or the rest of us, for the simple reason that government has become too big for its collective britches — a fact that may come as a shock even to the former wrestler and Governor.
But the truth is that neither the DHS nor the TSA is any longer viewed as a credible deterrent to terrorism by the public. Rather, both agencies now take their place alongside the Internal Revenue Service, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency as just one more gauntlet average citizens have to run every time they turn around.

After more than three decades of political stalemate and legal gridlock, the Alliance applauds legislative efforts that are now bringing pro-choice and pro-life leaders together around the urgent need to limit unintended pregnancies, support pregnant women and reduce abortions. These efforts include the Pregnant Women Support Act and the Reducing the Need for Abortion and Supporting Parents Act. Applying broad moral principles from a particular faith tradition in a pluralistic democracy enriched by diverse values requires prudential judgment and recognition that politics is the "art of the possible." Both of these efforts represent essential steps toward finding common ground in service of the common good.
The Pregnant Women Support Act is an excellent bill supported by the U.S. Bishops. I gave it a detailed treatment here. The bill is aimed at providing direct support to women in crisis pregnancies and their families. Unfortunately, with 36 cosponsors in the House and only one in the Senate, it has limited support from either side of the aisle.
The main competitor to PWSA is the Prevention First Act which is a horrible bill - essentially a big financial infusion for Planned Parenthood's contraception and vile, counterproductive teen sex ed programs. I treated it in detail here. The bill has far greater support with 141 cosponsors in the House and 25 in the Senate.
Catholics in Alliance doesn't mention the Prevention First Act. Rather, they mention the Reducing the Need for Abortion and Supporting Parents Act, which is a contraceptive bill along the lines of the Prevention First Act but not (currently) as awful.
So given their otherwise cloudy position on contraception and their support for the Reducing the Need for Abortion and Supporting Parents Act, the Register says:
On balance, I'd guess Catholics in Alliance is seeking to communicate that they support the promotion of contraception, without actually coming out and saying that directly. It's an understandable bit of fudging for an organization that wants to claim that it's authentically Catholic, even as it backs Obama's positions contradicting basic Church teachings on issues like contraception and abortion.
I think that's true, but they are communicating something more. They are telegraphing what the Obama administration will finally adopt with regard to "reducing the need for abortion". Two reasons I suggest this:
1. With four key leaders of the organization - Chair Alexia Kelley, Board Chair Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, Founding Board Member and Advisor Melanne Verveer and Speaker and Advisor Miguel Diaz - now holding positions in the Obama administration, Catholics in Alliance is in a position to know.
2. The Reducing the Need for Abortion and Supporting Parents Act has not been introduced in the 110th Congress. Why mention it unless you knew that's where the administration was heading?

Jim Brown Syracuse
Classic Memories1957 Classic TCU 28, Syracuse 27
StatisticsOffensive MVP Rushing: 26 attempts, 132 yards Passing: 1-2-1, 20 yards Touchdowns: 3 Rushing Kickoff Returns: 3 returns, 96 yards PAT: 3-of-4 attempts Tackles: 5 tackles, 4 unassisted
In what may have been his greatest game, Jim Brown ran through, over and around TCU defenders in the 1957 Classic. He rallied Syracuse from an early 14-0 deficit, then fueled another fierce comeback in the fourth quarter. Brown was simply unstoppable, scoring three times on runs of one, two and four yards and rushed for 132 yards. He also booted three PATs and recorded five tackles. Brown's extraordinary performance in his final college game proved to be a defining moment and launched one of the most prolific and storied careers in NFL history. Was he the greatest running back ever? The experts agree, the measuring stick begins with Jim Brown.
Bobby Layne Texas
Classic Memories1946 Classic Texas 40, Missouri 27
StatisticsOffensive MVP Rushing: 3 TD Passing: 11-12-0, 158 yards, 2 TD Receiving: 1 reception, 50 yards, 1 TD PAT: 4-of-5 attempts Points Responsible For: 40 points
Incredible is the only word that can describe Bobby Layne's performance in the Classic's 10th anniversary game in 1946. Layne was responsible for all 40 Texas points in the Longhorns' 40-27 victory over Missouri. He passed for two touchdowns, ran for three more, caught a 50-yard bomb for another, and kicked four PATs. Layne completed 11-of-12 pass attempts, had eight consecutive completions, and even though it's been more than 50 years, his .917 pass completion percentage is still a Cotton Bowl record. It's no wonder that after the game, Missouri coach Chauncey Simpson ran to the Texas team bus to shake Layne's hand, saying, "I never saw a better job by anybody!"
Dicky Maegle Rice
Classic Memories1954 Classic Rice 28, Alabama 6
StatisticsOffensive MVP Rushing: 11 attempts, 265 yards Average Per Rush: 24.1 yards Touchdowns: 3 Rushing Punting: 6 punts, 158 yards, 26.3 avg. Punt Returns: 4 returns, 23 yards
Dicky Maegle became a legend with his amazing performance in the 1954 Cotton Bowl. Maegle rushed for 265 yards on 11 carries and averaged an unbelievable 24.1 yards per play. He also recorded touchdown runs of 79, 95 and 34 yards. But, the one play that will live forever in the lore of the Cotton Bowl is the infamous bench tackle. While on his way to an apparent 95-yard touchdown romp, Maegle was blindsided by Tommy Lewis who leaped off the Alabama bench as the play crossed midfield. Maegle was awarded the touchdown in what the Associated Press called the "sports oddity" of the year.

StatisticsClassic Record: 5-5-0
During the Darrell Royal era in the 1960s and 1970s, it was said that two things in life were certain...death and Texas. In 20 seasons, Coach Royal guided the Longhorns to 11 SWC titles, assembled a staggering 167-47-5 record, and produced 26 All-Americans. His Longhorns played in 10 Cotton Bowl Classics, including six consecutive appearances from 1969 through 1974. Royal won two national championships in the Cotton Bowl. The first came in 1964 when Texas scored a decisive 28-6 victory over Navy. Then, in 1970, in the most famous Cotton Bowl game ever played, the Horns came from behind in the closing minutes to defeat Notre Dame, 21-17. The Royal era at Texas truly was royal.
J. Curtis Sanford Founder
Classic MemoriesDallas Oil Man & Sports Promoter Conceived Idea at 1936 Rose Bowl Received Copyright to the Cotton Bowl Name in January, 1936 Urged City Leaders to Rename Fair Park Stadium to The Cotton Bowl Inaugural Matchup Featured TCU & Marquette on January 1, 1937 Personally Underwrote First Four Cotton Bowl Games, 1937-1940 Guiding Force in Formation of CBAA
As he sat among the fans watching SMU take on Stanford in the 1936 Rose Bowl, J. Curtis Sanford asked the question, "Why can't Dallas have a game like this?" Sanford returned home, rolled up his sleeves and got to work creating a New Year's Day Classic of his own. Advisers insisted his plan would never work. Fortunately, Sanford refused to listen. This man of vision pursued his dream with an intense passion and financed the first four games from his own pocket. Thanks to Sanford's foresight and determination, the Cotton Bowl Classic found a home and continues to thrive as one of college football's most exciting and storied traditions.

Field Scovell was the consummate public relations man and patriarch of the Dallas sporting community. A goodwill ambassador whose famous "Howdy, Podner" greeting, his spontaneous one-liners, and the crunch of his handshake opened countless doors for the City of Dallas. For nearly four decades, Field served as the Cotton Bowl's Chairman of Team Selection. Some attributed his success to a dish of his famous homemade ice cream served up by his wife Mary. Regardless of what his secret may have been, people around the world knew him simply as Mr. Cotton Bowl. In his honor, the Classic's championship award is named the Field Scovell Trophy.

His coach, Matty Bell, once said, "Nobody ever played football like Doak Walker!" Indeed, the Classic's first Heisman Trophy winner could do it all...run, block, catch, punt and defend. No one ever captured the imagination of a city the way Walker seized Dallas during the 1940s. In two Cotton Bowl appearances, The Doaker won back-to-back MVP honors. In 1948, he produced both SMU touchdowns against Penn State, one a 53-yard pass play. A year later, he boomed a 79-yard punt against Oregon. Doak's legendary accomplishments are still celebrated today. Each year, college football's finest running back is presented the Doak Walker Award.
