Guide to Class 3A No. 9 Metro Christian at Class 2A No. 3 Oklahoma Christian School
When: 7:30 p.m., Friday
Where: OCS, Edmond
Players to watch: Metro Christian — Danny Burke, WR. The senior had more than 1,200 yards and 13 touchdowns last season, but a new quarterback for the Patriots raises questions. Will Burke be as productive?
OCS — Will McKinnis, QB. Last season Austin Brooks carried the Saints' offense to the Class 2A championship. McKinnis played receiver last season and brings a mobile element to the position this season.
Storylines: Metro Christian — The Patriots' young offense will have their hands full with the Saints' aggressive defense featuring players like Luke Frankfurt and Evan Lashar.
OCS — What kind of production will the Saints have without Brooks? The defense could be ahead of the offense, thus carrying the load.
The pick: OCS 35, Metro Christian 21

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed his interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Didier Digard. Southgate believes the 21-year-old could help plug the gap left by the departures of Fabio Rochemback and Gaizka Mendieta, with George Boateng's future yet to be resolved.
"Didier is somebody we have been watching and he is somebody we have made an enquiry about," said the former England defender. "He is a player with definite qualities and he is someone we are interested in, but at this stage of the summer, it is difficult to go any further.
"But the one major difference between Didier and a lot of other players is that the signs seem to suggest that his club are willing to sell him. That obviously puts him in a slightly different position to some of the other players we might have been looking at."
Southgate, who invested heavily in forwards last season, will concentrate on his midfield resources this time. Boro have been linked with a series of targets, including Newcastle United's James Milner, Chelsea's Steve Sidwell, Reading's James Harper and Heerenveen's Michael Bradley.

There is no doubt that met. coal has finally bottomed and is starting to bounce back higher with no help from Austrailian flooding, which indicates to me that demand is finally moving ahead of supplies.....all mills can say that they are stocked up fully to keep the price down, but with massive cut backs in met. coal production last year......this will greatly effect how much supply is available to the mills. Thus, these same mills will be running over each other to secure met. coal supplies soon enough, and pushing the price higher. The quaterly pricing setting comes into play in early April.......I am looking at about 180-200 per ton (1st tier coal), and about 160-180 per ton (2nd tier coal....this is what Cline has mostly, maybe some 1st tier, but not yet).
I am not sure if a sales contract will help right now in terms of getting rid of Marret's Plan.......any ideas????

Loggains remains committed to Locker as Titans' long-term quarterback
Dowell Loggains already has turned the page on Jake Locker's season.
"I talked to him, kind of had an end-of-season review with him and talked about the things I thought he got better at, the things he needs to continue to work on," Loggains said Tuesday afternoon.
The Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator has not, however, closed the book on the quarterback's time with the franchise.
Locker's season officially ended when he was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury sustained during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was his third significant health issue in a little more than a year but did nothing to shake the confidence of the man who designed the offense around his strengths.
"Even on the injury this week it's a one out of a thousand thing that happened," Loggains said. "It was kind of a fluke deal, and obviously the hip was the same way. It was just awkward, weird, wrong place at the wrong time. I'm not really concerned.
"… Overall, I thought he made a huge stride this year. Especially early on, before he got hurt [the first time], I thought he was going in the right direction and was really excited about the way he was playing. It's disappointing because I thought he did have a good year and I thought that was going to finish and have a really strong year."
In seven starts Locker, the eighth overall pick in 2011 completed 60.7 percent of his passes, up from 56.4 last season, and threw twice as many touchdown passes (eight) as interceptions (four). He also scored two rushing touchdowns, which currently is tied with his replacement, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and running back Chris Johnson for the team lead.
Locker has been involved in meetings in advance of Thursday's game against the Indianapolis Colts at LP Field (7:25 p.m., NFL Network) and the plan is for him to continue to do so for the remainder of the season.
He has one year remaining on his rookie contract and because of his status as a top 10 overall pick the team has options in regard to how, if at all, it proceeds with him. Coach Mike Munchak said discussions of that nature will take place early in the offseason.
"He's a guy I believe in," Loggains said. "I do think Jake Locker's a good football player and I hope that he's at Titan for a long time and I hope to have the opportunity to coach him for a long time."

NEW YORK — The stock market retreated from all-time highs Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said the U.S. economy still needed help from its stimulus program.
In its latest policy statement, the nation's central bank said it will continue buying $85 billion in bonds every month and keep its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero.
The Fed said it would "await more evidence" that the economy was improving before starting to pull back its stimulus program.
The Fed's announcement was mostly expected by investors. Since the Fed's last meeting in September, the economy suffered a blow because of the 16-day partial shutdown of the U.S. government and the near-breach of the nation's borrowing limit.
As a result, investors thought it would be highly unlikely the Fed would make any changes to its stimulus program until there was more evidence that the U.S. could grow without the central bank's help.
The soonest the Fed could revisit its bond-buying program will be at its mid-December meeting. However, Ben Bernanke's term as Fed chairman ends in February, and his successor, Janet Yellen, has yet to be confirmed by the Senate. It is seen as unlikely Bernanke would take on such a large project like pulling back on the bond-buying program when he only has months left in the position.
"We're looking at March of next year at the earliest" before the Fed will start to pull back, said Dean Junkans, chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank.
On Wednesday, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 61.59 points, or 0.4 percent, to 15,618.76. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 8.64 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,763.31. Nasdaq composite fell 21.72 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,930.62.

100 best New York restaurants: Best fine dining
Some of the best New York restaurants can also be the most expensive. These fine dining splurges justify their cost with dazzling food and sparkling service.
Well-funded locals may disagree, but for most of us, some of the best New York restaurants aren't every-day pleasures. The fine dining gems on the far end of the price-per-head spectrum are the sorts of places we reserve in advance, anticipate for weeks and then savor when the moment finally arrives. From Wylie Dufresne's molecular modernism to the white-glove grandeur of Per Se, here are the best fine dining restaurants in town—apotheoses of upscale dining as seen through a distinctly New York lens.
RECOMMENDED: Full list of 100 best New York restaurants
Eleven Madison Park
Swiss chef Daniel Humm mans the kitchen at this vast Art Deco jewel, which began life as a brasserie before evolving into one of the city's most rarified and progressive eateries. The service is famously mannered, and the room among the city's most grand. But the heady, epic tasting menus are the true heart of Eleven Madison Park, a format that spotlights Humm's auteur instincts. Tableside flourishes are part of the fun: Look out for even more dazzling showmanship—including one dish presented by way of a sleight of hand trick—when the restaurant relaunches its tasting menu format in fall of 2012.Read more
The NoMad
The luxurious setting, flawless service, and preponderance of foie gras and truffles call to mind an haute cuisine titan. But with its fashionable crowd and cool, voluptuous vibe there are clearly some young Turks behind the wheel. Chef Daniel Humm and William Guidara, the celebrated team behind Eleven Madison Park, turn the music up for their sophomore venture in the NoMad Hotel. Ditching EMP's tasting-menu-only format, Humm takes a more democratic approach with an à la carte menu of seasonal, French-inflected fare. The food, like the space, exudes unbuttoned decadence. A poached egg stars in one over-the-top starter, its barely contained yolk melting into a sweet, velvety soup of brown butter and Parmesan, with shaved white asparagus and toasted quinoa for crunch. And while there are plenty of rich-man roasted chickens for two in New York, the bird here—with a foie gras, brioche and black truffle stuffing under the skin—is surely the new gold standard. Try it with the sweet amber Le Poulet, a Brooklyn Brewery ale designed to be paired with the designer fowl.Read more
Momofuku Ko
Make it through the reservations ringer (the system mandates booking six days in advance, at 10am, only via momofuku.com) to gain access to chef David Chang's minimal 12-seat spot. Here, the chefs double as waiters, serving eight or so dazzling courses from behind a counter. The ever-evolving menu features raw fluke, in a coating of tangy, mellow buttermilk, poppy seeds and sriracha chili sauce. A frozen foie gras torchon is brilliantly shaved over lychee puree and pine-nut brittle. Ko's embrace of dessert may signal Chang's high-end arrival. A panna cotta made from milk that's been mingling with cornflakes is nothing short of genius.Read more
A fire shut down chef Anita Lo's sparely apppointed West Village flagship, but the restaurant's rebirth makes it once again worthy of citywide buzz. Lo's complex, refined food—much of it inspired by her global eating adventures—is more exciting than ever. From the Japanese canon there's a tuna starter: a shimmering tartare on one side and grilled belly seasoned with yuzukosho (a condiment made from hot peppers and yuzu) on the other. Lo's reverence for French technique comes through in a veal loin entrée, drizzled with truffled veal jus, oyster cream sauce and brown butter. Her desserts are as nuanced as everything else: Conclude with crispy beignets filled with warm salted butterscotch.Read more
The Kitchen at Brooklyn Fare
Chef César Ramirez spends his days preparing deli-case items at the Brooklyn Fare supermarket—and one luxurious, 15-course meal in the store's kitchen each night, which is some of New York's best small-plate cuisine. The dinner-party vibe is convivial: Diners perch on stools around a prep table, the menu changes daily, and wine is BYOB. A Kumamoto oyster reclines on crème fraîche and yuzu gelée; halibut is served in a miraculous broth of dashi and summer truffles. For dessert: an airy parfait layering mango mousse, coconut froth, candied cashews and rum-soaked brioche.Read more
Per Se
Expectations are high at Per Se—and that goes both ways. You are expected to come when they'll have you—you might be put on standby for four nights, only to win a 10pm Tuesday spot—and fork over $150 a head if you cancel. You're expected to wear the right clothes, pay a non-negotiable service charge, and pretend you aren't eating in a shopping mall. The restaurant, in turn, is expected to deliver one hell of a tasting menu for $250 ($280 if you want foie gras). And it does. Dish after dish is flawless and delicious, beginning with Thomas Keller's signature salmon tartare cone and luxe oysters-and-caviar starter. Have you tasted steak with mashed potatoes and Swiss chard, or burrata cheese with olive oil drizzled on top, or chocolate brownies with coffee ice cream? Possibly. Have you had them this good? Unlikely. In the end, it's all worth every penny (as long as someone else is paying).Read more
This Portuguese eatery is a low-key stage for one of the city's most original chefs: George Mendes. While the minimalist space is restrained, the food certainly isn't. Tender baby cuttlefish is the centerpiece of a complex starter featuring coconut curry broth, sea beans, bonito flakes and mint. More-traditional fare also gets an haute spin. Beautiful garlicky shrimp alhinho are finished with an intense shrimp-and-brandy reduction. Desserts strike the same rustic-refined balance. Among the simple pleasures: custard-soaked brioche served with pink-peppercorn ice cream and blood orange gelée.Read more
Everyone of us have dined with these restaurants & have been impressed sometime with the quality of food, texture, ambience. Keep up the good work and high standards of these restaurants. Congratulations to all who have contributed to the restaurants success and sharing the list. <a href="http://www.michaelsonsimcoe.com/fine-dining/
I'm visiting New York for the first time next week, so I would like to know about the best restaurants that New York has to offer. Are there any good restaurants that have a good vegan menu? I'm lactose intolerant and I don't really care for meat and fish, so any vegan restaurant recommendations would be great.

Chef César Ramirez is a talented chef, but I also was asked to leave and not served coffee at Brooklyn fare, as they were running behind.. The food is good, but the interaction with the chef a little awkward.
I don't know why Atera is not on the list. Its so much better than Aldea or WD-50. A MUST TRY!
Glad to see Eleven Madison Park at the top of the list. They were actually nominated as number one in US by World's 50 Best Restaurants, and I think a few more NY restaurants made the list. Some info on who made the list in the US here: http://believebelong.com/diners-club/best-restaurant-united-states/

Last night, John and I joined Lauren Bush Lauren and the whole FEED Projects team for a little festive eggnog and DIY'ing at their downtown offices. In light of the holiday season, the charitable company's launched a campaign called "12 Days, 12 Ways to FEED," unveiling daily products that support a wide variety of causes. We particularly loved the brightly woven FEED Guatemala pouches and totes (which benefits the United Nations World Food Programme), the gorgeous embellished FEED 1,000 clutches (a collaboration with Judith Leiber that provides 1,000 underprivileged children with school lunches), and the cuddly FEED 5 teddy bear (sales of which supply five starving children with a lifesaving nutrient paste). And those beaded FEED Kenya bangles would make for perfect stocking stuffers—slipped, of course, into a FEED Joy stocking in the company's signature burlap.
After walking through the advent-calendar-style lineup of philanthropic goodies, we had a chance to decorate some totes and pouches of our very own. Time to break out the BeDazzlers and glue guns! John showed the FEED crew some Lucky love with his creation (above), while I used colorful pom-poms to turn my tote into a creation Nicki Minaj might love (see below).
Check out feedprojects.com to follow the "12 Days, 12 Ways to FEED" initiative and pick up some gifts you can truly feel good about. Puff paints and iron-on appliqués aren't included, but the gesture of goodwill certainly is.

Since 1918 Woods of Morecambe have provided the finest quality lingerie, opening its online store "www.woods-
As a long established retailer with a reputation built on the highest standards of customer service, Woods were insistent that their online presence matched the in-store experience in terms of ease of shopping and payment. They chose Magento as the basis for the site and incorporated CreditCall's payment plug-in.

Inherent Vice 2014
Fitting well within the various P.I. referenced work (including a slight, yet welcomed, incorporation of Midnight Run), P.T. takes the genre back into the realms that ignite a necessary truth within such genre's storytelling form: a narrative thread that necessitates the kind of work on part of the audience that is expected of the protagonist. While this not only initiates problem solving skills that unite viewership with protagonist, it becomes an appropriate form in which to situate, and legitimize, the…
Interstellar 2014
It is ironically unfortunate that Interstellar has, itself, become a black hole that has consumed a great deal of effort and philosophy that does not yield the promised intentions and has, coincidentally, demonstrated a less-than-effective (or efficient) use of 'time' than his referential sci-fi predecessors. None-the-less, the picture does illustrate some interesting contemporary tendencies within the genre, which will hopefully incite and inspire the future, which is perhaps the only way in which Nolan's ideologies are consistent in this vision.…

Inglourious Basterds 2009
While this is perhaps not the most interesting (nor masterful) of Tarantino's works, it does have very interesting, if not expected inter-textuality, yet what does seem to receive little attention are the ways in which he makes subtle statements about war.
While at the conclusion of the picture it becomes clear Basterds is just as much about the political strategy of the United States during World War II as it is present day. This is clear through the manner by…
Psycho 1998
While most reactions towards this version are dismissive complaints about the purity behind the "shot-for-shot" intentions or the shift in performance, what is uniquely illuminating about Van Sant's rendition of "Psycho," lies in what it reveals as instinctive to the formalism of nineties filmmaking.
What makes Hitchcock's Psycho so strong are the specific kinds of details that add up to reveal the subtle shifts in thought that guide a person in a direction that is unexpected and an unforeseen result…

Hong Kong shares edge upComment on this story
Hong Kong - Hong Kong shares finished slightly higher on Tuesday, as strong gains from index heavyweights HSBC and Tencent outweighed weakness at Chinese banks and energy firms, which were under pressure in a retracement of recent jumps.
The Hang Seng Index rose 0.2 percent at 24,648.26 points.
The China Enterprises Index of the leading offshore Chinese listings in Hong Kong was down 0.7 percent.
Tencent climbed 3.3 percent to a record high.
HSBC Holdings advanced 1.8 percent, its biggest one-day gain since September 2013, in spite of reporting a 12 percent drop in first-half profit on Monday.
Nomura said in a note on Tuesday the earnings downgrade cycle should stop for Europe's largest bank, citing a better second half revenue outlook due to Asia's improving macroeconomic situation and expectations of higher rates in Britain and United States.
China Petroleum & Chemical Corp was the top drag on the H-share index with a drop of 1.6 percent, sliding further from its 6-1/2-year high last Thursday. - Reuters

Brees confident deal gets done before camp
For some reason or another the New Orleans Saints have yet to extend franchise quarterback Drew Brees. With the July 16th deadline to extend Brees rapidly approaching the window to sign Brees is slowing closing. Brees has already stated that he will not sign the franchise tender and may even hold out if a deal is not reached.
However, while on Mike and Mike today Brees seemed confident a deal would get done in time. "I've always said, you would think this process would be a lot more simple than it is. It just always seems to be complicated, (I'm) still very confident that we'll get a long-term deal done, and hopefully that will happen sooner than later."
Brees later went on the Dan Patrick Show and stated he was isn't motivated "to be the highest paid" player in football, but called for a fair deal (which could bring him very close)." He went on to add, "I'm very aware of where the Saints are at, and certainly where I'm at," suggesting there was "a lot of time" before now and training camp.
After dealing with the bountygate scandal not extending Drew Brees would be a disaster for the New Orleans Saints. If he chose to sit out a portion of or all of the season the team will be in certainly be in trouble this year.

Jude Deverauxs first hardcover bestseller, A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR, has been revamped for a new audience. Ms. Deveraux has always enchanted readers. Now she has created a very special love story that might just be the ultimate romance readers fantasy.
Dougless Montgomery (a modern-day descendent of the unforgettable Montgomery clan) is traveling through England with her fianci, Robert, and his daughter Gloria. This was to have been the perfect vacation.
Instead, she finds herself abandoned in a tiny 16th-century church without money, luggage or credit cards, wishing for a knight in shining armor. In a flash, he is therethe most devastatingly handsome man she has ever seen. But according to his tombstone he has been dead for 400 years.
Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck, is writing a letter when the sound of crying breaks his solitude. He is stunned to find a strange woman in the most bizarre costume weeping over a tomb. How dare she disturb his peace!
Drawn to one another by bonds stronger than time, Nicholas and Dougless embark on one of the strangest, funniest and most romantic time-travel journeys. Nicholas learns about this strange 20th-century (buses, paper money, dentists, etc.), but somehow Dougless must find a way to change the course of history to save the only man she has ever loved.
A former top pick when released in 1988, A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR is a rare and simply delightful love story. Jude Deveraux skillfully merges her unique brand of humor and historical details (like Old English penmanship) with a poignant, sensual romance. She instinctively knows what every woman is searching forher own knight in shining armor.
This very special story is sure to capture your heart, make you laugh, make you cry, and most of all, make you wish this could come true. SENSUAL (Jan., 400 pp., $18.00)

I don't stop breathing every time the phone rings
My heart don't race when someones at my door
I've almost given up thinkin' your ever gonna call
I don't believe in magic anymore.
I just don't lie awake at night
Asking God to get you off my mind
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.
Yeah, I got to work on time again this morning
This old job is all that I got left
And no one even noticed I'd been crying
At least I don't have whisky on my breath.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna make it
'Cause God won't make a mountain I can't climb
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.
God, I hope your happy
Girl, I wish you well
I just might get over you
You can't ever tell.
I always thought that I'd do something crazy
If ever saw you out with someone else
But when the moment came last night
I couldn't say a word, I stood there in the dark all by myself.
Yeah, I could of said a million things
All I did was keep it locked inside
It's getting better all the time
It's getting better all the time.
It's getting better all the time...

So my little arab bailey is putting on weight finally!!! We are starting to see his hips fill out and the fat is finally starting to slowly cover the ribs. Now bare in mind this is my first horse that I had to be this much weight on. It has been rough for me trying to learn how to do it properly without having ill effects.
But with his slight weight gain starting so is his energy level. He is now starting to run and start encouraging horses to play and actually participate and look like a normal horse. With that change in energy I want to put it to good use especially since I have a feeling that if he keeps putting on weight he will get hotter and unmanageable enless we start now.
Now I don't need hard work out ideas for him. I have been focusing mainly on leading manners, basic things like stepping over small poles and desentizing him to bags, tarps, noises, cars etc. so far so good.
Now I usually would start lunging/free lunging him to start working on muscle and balance at a walk trot but I feel like even that is pushing it to much. So what type of training/ground work ideas can I do to start having the fat build into useful muscles without over doing it??
Thanks for all your advice :)

updated 05:55 pm EDT, Mon August 6, 2007
Autodesk debuts Maya 2008
Autodesk on Monday unveiled Maya 2008, the latest revision of its modeling, animation, visual effects, and rendering software. Maya 2008 focuses on providing improved workflow efficiency for artists in the film, TV, game development, design, and manufacturing industries. Highlights of Maya 2008 include increased polygon modeling efficiency, overall performance improvements, tools for creating better looking games, and increased flexibility for character setup as well as animation. Autodesk hopes to ship the English version of Maya 2008 in September for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows systems. Maya 2008 Complete is priced at $2,000, while Maya 2008 Unlimited is will cost $7,000. Upgrade pricing from Maya 8.5 Complete to Maya 2008 Complete is $900, and the upgrade price from Maya 8.5 Unlimited to Maya 2008 Unlimited is $1,250. [updated]
"Artists need production-proven solutions that they can truly depend on," explained Marc Petit, Autodesk Media & Entertainment senior vice president. "With Autodesk Maya 2008, we have placed considerable emphasis on raising the reliability bar higher than ever before. Designed for multi-core workstations, the 2008 release provides artists with an optimized application that includes new creative tools in modeling and animation to help artist meet demands quickly and easily."
Maya software was used to create various famous projects, including the hit movie titles Spider-Man 3 and Pan's Labyrinth. Maya also helped bring games like Resistance: Fall of Man and John Woo Presents Stranglehold to store shelves.
Increased polygon modeling efficiency
Maya 2008 enables artists to quickly create, manipulate and place polygons that form highly detailed characters as well as environments via a streamlined "Mesh Smooth" workflow, a new "Slide Edge" feature, and improvements to Booleans, Bridge, Bevel, and other tools.
Overall performance rise
Overall enhancements to the latest iteration of Maya speeds up the application with multi-threading and algorithmic improvements. The "Poly Reduce" function is up to 30 times faster for a 22,000 face poly mesh, according to Autodesk, and "Poly Smooth" is up to four times faster. The Maya nCloth cache performs up to three times faster on a cache of 10,000 vertices, while mental ray translation for a 20,000 mesh instanced 2,000 times over is 20 times faster.
Better game tools
Maya 2008 is better equipped to create and display content destined for the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles. The application offers support for DirectX HLSL shaders in the Maya viewport, a new hardware shader API, enhancements to the high-quality render view, accelerated mental ray texture baking performance, and more.
Increased flexibility
Maya 2008 delivers improved skinning and rigging toolsets, including new, non-destructive skin editing capabilities. The new enhancements allow animators and Technical Directors to efficiently explore ideas, manage iterations, and get results at an accelerated rate.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Congenital Heart Defects Families Association, Kansas City, MO, USA
CHD Families has provided support to my family before, during and after our daughter's 3 heart surgeries. They provided care packages to us after the surgery which included a hand-made blanket for our daughter and meal tickets so we did not have to worry about paying for all of our meals while in the hospital. CHD Families also provides a face-to-face support group which helps us connect with other families that are going through some of the same issues. This helps us realize that we are not alone. This organization has been amazing for our family to be a part of and we are grateful for all they do!

Sunday's game at Arrowhead Stadium was dramatic theater at it's finest, and in the end, the Chargers returned to San Diego with a thrilling, last minute 41-38 win over their division rivals. The game was one many on the team said was an "all-timer" and one they would never forget. Below you will find all the articles, videos, highlights and behind the scenes access from the impressive win. But first, check out the complete game highlight video below.
When reflecting back on this game, everyone will remember the heart-pounding final drive that saw Philip Rivers march the team down the field with just 1:24 left in the game. The play culminated in a 26-yard touchdown pass to Seyi Ajurotutu that clinched the victory. Read about "tutu" coming through in the clutch, and then relive his touchdown catch below.
Another wide receiver who delivered for the Bolts was Keenan Allen. A strong candidate for Rookie of the Year, the third-round pick had eight catches for 104 yards in the first half alone. Check out his highlights and see why he is a rookie in title only.
The Bolts' dynamic pair of tight ends, Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green, also turned in strong performances for San Diego. Gates became only the fourth tight end in NFL history to record 700 catches and 9,000 yards, both of which he recorded on Sunday. Green scored his first NFL touchdown on a 60 yard catch and sprint to the end zone. Watch his touchdown below.
One of the best free agent acquisitions in the NFL heading into the season was Danny Woodhead. He had two touchdowns on the day, one on the ground and another through the air, to tie his career high with seven on the year. Find out how his versatility was on display all day then watch his touchdown catch.
We will have more on Philip Rivers huge game on Monday, but for now, watch all his top highlights below. Then, check out some of the other highlights as well as post game press conferences.

Let God be God (September 2)
2007-08-28 by John Carr
As it happens, I'm preaching this Sunday (I also wrote Pastoral Implications for this week). As I have been doing my own preparation, I realized that I might have said more about the fact that Jesus is addressing the Pharisees, perhaps the ultimate stereotype of the "God-player" -- who were keeping an eye on him. I did assume that some attention would be given to this in the exegetical essay.
Also, I need to do a "mea culpa." I made a reference to vs. 10 of the Jeremiah passage. The vs. 10 to which I am referring is in Jeremiah 1 -- i.e. my eye slipped over to the previous page as I was thinking about the interaction of the Jeremiah passage with the other passages.
Here is how I see the passages from the Psalms and Hebrews. Since, in our congregation, we read the psalms responsively, I'm having it introduced with these words. Responsive Psalm 81: 1, 10-16: "In this psalm, we enact the internal conversation God is having about the ungrateful stubbornness of the people Israel. Undoubtedly, God -- at least sometimes – has this internal conversation about us."
Here is the introduction to the Hebrews passage. Hebrews 13: 1-8, 15-16: "This passage is about how the followers of Jesus are to serve others. We do not have to appease God's anger by offering animal sacrifices. Rather, in Jesus, we come to know God as One who simply asks that we focus our attention on the needs of others, rather than just being concerned about our own wants and needs."
For me, these passages provide further context for the Luke passage.

Confusion, Pericope Group, and the Readings
2007-08-28 by David von Schlichten
This morning, at our Tuesday pastors' pericope group, we came up with the following thoughts about Sunday's readings:
While sitting there, I wondered what I was going to have for lunch (Luke's gospel makes me hungry). More importantly, I found myself struggling anew with the idea that Jesus would teach us to take the place of humility in order to be exalted. Surely, Jesus is not saying that, is he?
Therefore, after pericope group (and lunch; I had fish), I returned to Aida Besancon Spencer's "Exegesis" article in LH this week, as well as John C. Carr's "Pastoral Implications" article. After revisiting those two pieces, I understand in a firmer, more enduring way that Jesus is not condoning false humility for the seeking of personal gain. His main point is " [ . . . ] [A]ll who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted" (v.11). Verse eleven is the key to understanding Jesus' point.
In other words, Jesus tells the "parable" of where to sit at a banquet to make this point about humility. That is, he is using the situation in front of him to make a larger point about living in the kingdom of God. He is not merely giving advice for people on how to sit at table; such instruction simply does not fit with the larger context of Jesus' teachings in Luke 14, let alone in the Gospels in general. This proverbial wisdom of Jesus is much more.
After all, Jesus goes on to stress inviting people who cannot pay you back, people who cannot reward you. He is concerned about way more than simply doing that which makes a person look good.
Eugene Peterson's piquant paraphrase of this verse in The Message is nourishing: "If you walk around with your nose in the air, you're going to end up flat on your face. But if you're content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself."
Then there's the hospitality theme, which got me thinking anew about Ozzfest, a day long series of heavy metal rock concerts that I had the misfortune to attend last Friday, but I'll write more about that literally hellish experience and the theme of hospitality tomorrow.
Yours in Christ,

Highlights of this Week's "LH" Articles
2007-08-28 by David von Schlichten
I wish Jesus would sit at my table and take the food away from me before I overeat. "Take away this day my daily Oreos."
Seriously, here are some gleanings from this week's Lectionary Homiletics texts to ruminate on.
Aida Besancon Spencer points out that Jesus is not saying that we can never invite our friends, relatives, and rich neighbors to our table but that we are not to be in the habit of inviting only such people (Jesus uses the present imperative, "do not keep inviting"). Further, he is challenging the idea of seeking earthly reward, teaching that we should seek reward from God instead.
Pastoral Implications
John C. Carr makes numerous excellent points about psychology and the texts for Sunday, including the Gospel reading. The reading from Luke seems to reward passive-aggressive behavior; be humble to manipulate others into rewarding you. Carr stresses that lectionary and historical context are crucial for a proper understanding of this passage. In addition, people often play God, exalting themselves, and such a role is deleterious psychologically for the person playing God and for those who regard that person as God-like.
Carr concludes with the understanding that the Gospel reading warns against playing God, exalting oneself, while Psalm 112 and Hebrews 13 provide a supplement that helps people to see that healthful self-esteem arises when humans act as humans and regard God alone as God.
Lesson and the Arts
Johan van Parys writes of several paintings germane to the Gospel reading. One especially noteworthy is Veronesi's (1528-1588) depiction of the Last Supper called "Dinner at the House of Levi." The painting shows Jesus and the Twelve surrounded by people from all strata and lifestyles. Van Parys was accused of heresy for including low-class people at the Last Supper, so the title was changed to end the controversy. Van Parys points out that Jesus does indeed welcome all kinds of people to the Table, so the painting, in a sense, is correct. Further, if Jesus is so welcoming, we are to be likewise.
Sermon Reviews
Alex Gondola summarizes a sermon by W. Robert McLelland in which the preacher makes the point that we are reared to be self-effacing but that, at God's banquet, God has made us the guests of honor. We are to think of ourselves in this manner. Of course, such an honor brings with it responsibility.
Later, Gondola summarizes a sermon by Richard W. Patt in which Patt explains a difference between entertaining and hospitality. Entertaining is about the host showing the guests that he or she is perfect at hosting. We hosts want to exhibit how lovely our home is, how delicious our food. With hospitality, coming across as perfect is not the goal. Rather, the goal is, as the etymology of "hospitality" suggests, to provide shelter and healing (like a hospice or hospital).
As usual, the writers have given us much to feast on, so I'll be chewing away without, for once, having to worry about gaining weight. More to come.

Food for Thought in Every Chapter of Luke
2007-08-26 by David von Schlichten
As someone once pointed out to me, food imagery is in every chapter of Luke. I did a quick search and came up with this. Please feel free to comment, revise, etc. (the following is not exhaustive):
1: God has filled the hungry with good things
2: manger
3: John the Baptist speaks of bearing good fruit ( also grain in v17)
4: "Turn these stones to bread."
5: fasting vs. eating (why do Jesus' disciples not fast?)
6: plucking heads of grain and eating them
7: at a Pharisee's table
8: parable of sower
9: feeding over five-thousand people
10: verse 7
11: "Give us each day our daily bread"
12: parable of rich fool with grain in his barns; life is more than eating
13: fig tree planted in a vineyard
14: this week's reading
15: "Kill the fatted calf"
16: Lazarus and rich man, who feasts sumptuously
17: verses 27 and 35
18: Pharisee boasts of fasting twice a week
19: Mount of Olives
20: vineyard parable
21: fig tree and sign of the kingdom of God being near
22: Passover and Holy Communion
23: "They gave him sour wine."
24: road to Emmaus and breaking of bread
All right, so what does it all mean? Perhaps the following:
1. How we eat reflects who we are (for more, see Roger Gench's "theological themes" article on pages 38-9 in LH)
2. Christ feeds us in various ways
3. Christ is revealed to us in the breaking of the bread.
By the way, I will be blogging each day this work week (Mon-Fri). I look forward to reading the blogs of others and to feedback, including questions and corrections. Let's have a feast of blogs. :-)
Yours in Christ,

To the End
2007-08-24 by Rick Brand
Since I suggested Luke and shared the story, I felt called to show the finished product as well.
Text: Luke 13:10-17 "Woman, you are freed..."
August 26, 2007
First Presbyterian Church of Henderson, NC
Rick Brand, Pastor
If you use your imagination a little, you can almost see how this story happening. It is a normal ordinary day of Worship. We are gathered in the sanctuary. Jesus has come and is sitting over here with the men. We have had the call to worship, sung the first hymn. During that first hymn the woman in Henderson who walks around half bent sideways and her daughter come in quietly and sit over with the women. As Jesus looks around during the choir's song, he sees the woman and has compassion on her. When I get up to go down for the Moment with Children, Jesus just gets up and walks across the sanctuary and goes up to her. He puts he hand on her and says,"Woman, you are freed from your infirmity." She stretches and twists and straightens up. She becomes so excited and so loud. She is shouting and praising God. She is jumping up and down, and thanking Jesus, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Lord." Jesus is clapping his hands in delight.
And I say to Jesus, "Ah, Jesus, why did you have to do that now. You got six days a week to do that kind of stuff. We are in the middle of a worship service here. I got a great sermon all ready and nobody will be interested in listening to it with this woman so excited and thrilled. You have really messed up the service today. There is no place in the bulletin for a healing. You just not supposed to do that kind of work on the Sabbath.
Jesus looks so disappointed. He looks at me and says, "Wow, that is really sad. We have a whole nation that is outraged by the stories of cruelty to animals done by a few famous people. There may be thousands of children being treated worst than these pit bulls but for weeks now the American public has been furious about the mistreatment of animals. The Torah even says that a person is permitted to do enough work on the Sabbath to untie the animal and walk it to water. If there were stories about anybody leaving an animal on a chain in this weather and not giving them water, you could expect a lynching. Yet when I want to untie this woman from the demon that has bound her for 18 years, all you are worried about is the order of service. That is really, really sad. You can't even stop and join her in the singing of praises and giving thanks. Don't you see that the Kingdom of God is not up to you to make, preserve, keep or protect. I give you the Kingdom. It is like this healing. This woman did not come seeking it. She did not ask for it. All you know about her is that she was here in the service. I gave her the healing. She gave thanks, and You were invited to enjoy the gift with her."
Jesus turns and leaves the sanctuary, and as far as the record in Scripture is given. He never attends worship in a synagogue again.
And we are left here looking around at each other. What is there to say? What he says hurts too much to talk about because it is so true. Somehow we do think that the Kingdom of God is dependent upon us. In the devotion to be faithful we end up thinking there are things we have to do, there are rules we have to keep, there are trues we have to protect and defend. God may have acted in Jesus Christ to redeem the world, but now it is up to us to save and defend the faith.
There are all those on one side who think that we have to pass laws and rules to make this nation a Christian nation. We need to put prayer back in school. We have to make illegal all of the bad consequences of our actions. Abortion has to be made to be murder. Homosexuals have to be fixed or excluded. It is the duty of Christians to require everybody to be Christians.
The same kind of conviction that the Kingdom of God is dependent upon our actions exists on the other side which wants to create a more open and just society, to make the great society, to be inclusive and kind and helpful. We have to give all children health care. God's creation has to be saved by our actions.
While all the time the story says that the salvation, the healing, the redemption has been done in Jesus Christ. God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. The Kingdom of God is among you. The new creation has been accomplished in Jesus Christ, our invitation is to join the woman in the songs of thanksgiving and in share the her joy. God does not call us to make his kingdom, or to protect his kingdom, or enforce others to be in his kingdom. God invites us to live in his kingdom. To live in his kingdom which has been created by God in Christ is to be free from having to be right, free from having to be perfect, free from having to make a name for ourselves, free from having to be somebody, free from proving our worth. To live in the kingdom is to be free to find those gifts that bring you joy and to use them joyfully in a place in the world that needs them.
The Kingdom of God is given to us, we miss it, and we rush right by it because we are so concerned about something else. The great New Testament Scholar William Barclay in his commentary suggests that one of the things this story reveals is that individuals are more important than systems and bureaucratic regulations. And yet it seems to me that we are so preoccupied with our individual rights and privileges that we frequently miss the kingdom of God which is a community. Jesus is not "doing" his own thing here. Jesus is bringing in the Kingdom of God with an act of compassion for this woman. The Hope is that the whole synagogue will erupt in praise and worship. There is no license here to do whatever you want in worship, but there is evidence here that the one who does an act of gracious compassion is a part of the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God has been given. It is already ourselves. It does not depend upon our actions. The kingdom breaks out and flames up all around us and we blow right by it because we are so intent on what we think we have to do. There is the miracle of this day, but we have things we have to do and it is too hot or too cold. There is the miracle of your life and the people who love you, but your back hurts and the people you love are doing what you don't want them to do. There is the miracle of God's forgiveness for you and for all creation in Jesus Christ, but you have to hold on to that insult and get even. There is the miracle of God's forgiveness, but you in Turkey have to defend your honor and you have to kill the man who dishonors you.
The gifts of kingdom of God are being given to us all around and we are so focused on something else that we just rush by them and may never see them. My theologian friend Jimmy Buffett has some lines in one of his songs, a joyful song about looking back over his life and celebrating the good gifts life has given him. He says, "Yeah, that's why it's still a mystery to me, why some people live like they do. So many nice things happening out there, never even seen the clues." So many nice things happening out there, and some people just are so dedicated to what they think they have to do for God that they never see the clues to His Kingdom which he has already given in Jesus.
Zora Neal Hurston was a black woman from Florida. She was born in l891 and died in l960. She graduated from Barnard College and did extensive research into black culture in the South and the Caribbeans. She was a leading figure in the culture blooming called the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920's and 30's. In her autobiography called Dust Tracks on a Road, she tells about a young man that she was dating and fell in love with. She tells about one event in her courtship."I lived in the Graham Court at 116th Street and Seventh Ave.in New York City. He lived way down in 64th Street, Columbus Hill. He came to call one night and everything went off sweetly until he got ready to leave. At the door he told me to let him go because he was going to walk home. He had spent the only nickel he had that night to come to see me. That upset me, and I ran to get a quarter to loan him until his pay day. What did I do that for? He flew hot. In fact, he was the hottest man in the five boroughs. Why did I insult him like that? The responsibility was all his . He had known that he did not have his return fare when he left home, but he had wanted to come, and so he had come. Let him take the consequences for his own acts. What kind of a coward did I take him for? How could he deserve my respect if he behaved like a cream puff? He was a man. No woman on earth could either lend him nor give him a cent. If a man could not do for a woman, what good was he on earth? He great desire was to do for me. Please let him be a man.
"For a minute I was hurt, and then I saw his point. He had done a beautiful thing and I was killing it off in my blindness." She almost missed that gift by looking at the money. He was looking at the gift of love he was trying to make.
Oh, today we would blow right by that gift with our outrage at the chauvinist attitude of the man. We blow right on by so many of the gifts of the Kingdom of God because we are so caught up in what we think we have to do for the Kingdom of God.
The good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. It has been done by God for us. It is a gift we have been offered. The woman has been healed without her having to be worthy, without her having to ask, without her having to promise to do anything. The woman has been healed and she lifts up her voice in worship and praise.
The Kingdom of God is all around us. The gifts of grace appear in so many place. Monica Laliberte told the story of a community of more than two hundred volunteers, and forty nine different companies, who worked two weeks to restore a home for a woman and her stroke afflicted husband. A previous contractor had taken her money, torn up her house and left them in a mess. The community transformed the wreck into a home. The woman lifted up her tears of great joy. And we were invited simply to join her in that joy and from that joy go and watch for other signs of the Kingdom. Our chief end is to glorify God for the Kingdom that has been given and to enjoy it forever.

In their becoming-a-fan stories, fans often begin by describing themselves as "ordinary" popular music listeners, casually using rock as a form of entertainment which accompanies, but does not necessarily shape, their everyday behavior. Springsteen is an indistinguishable part of the media background of their lives; even those who know of him do not give his identity or music much attention beyond seeing one of his albums in a friend's collection or enjoying one of his songs briefly on the radio. But then, something happens. Either suddenly or gradually, fans talk about moving away from that casual stance and becoming people to whom Springsteen's music deeply matters.

The distance created by this movement from ordinary listener to fan is an important element of fans' understanding of their fandom. Whenever fans go to a concert, a record store, or anywhere else where they may interact with the larger Springsteen audience, one of the first things that strikes them is how different and alien nonfan audience members appear. John O'Brien, for example, told me about attending a concert on Springsteen's 1987 Tunnel of Love tour:
I remember going to Tunnel of Love and looking around and thinking, "Wow, these people must just know 'Tunnel of Love,' must just have heard that single." And I wondered if they really understood the words and stuff. I'm not trying to be condescending, because I don't know. But you wonder about that sometimes. (interview, March 15, 1993)
Mary Beth Wilson echoed:
To me--and I've said this to my friends Joe and Dave a million times during the shows--I feel you should have to pass some kind of test to get into a Springsteen
