BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana forward Collin Hartman injured his left during a non-contact workout.Coach Tom Crean said Wednesday that the injury was still being evaluated.Hartman, a 6-foot-7 senior from Indianapolis, has played a key role for the Hoosiers each of the past two seasons, especially on defense.Last season, he started 24 times in 35 appearances and averaged 5.0 points and 3.1 rebounds on a team that reached the Sweet 16. As a sophomore, Hartman started 12 of 32 games and shot 50 percent from the field and 47.5 percent from 3-point range as he averaged 4.8 points and 3.1 rebounds.Hartman tore the ACL in his right knee after his freshman season, in 2013-14, but returned to the court at the start of his sophomore year.Kd Shoes For Sale .

The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book.NEW ORLEANS -- Saints linebacker Craig Robertson sounded confident that he knew the main reason why New Orleans looked as locked-in as the club has been all season during a lopsided victory over Los Angeles Rams.It wasnt because of a motivational speech. It wasnt because of a desire to show up a certain former Saints defensive coordinator now serving in the same capacity in Los Angeles.And it wasnt because the Saints have adopted as their theme song The Circle of Life from the Disney movie, The Lion King, which blared from the Superdome sound system after a second-half touchdown.Really theres only one factor, Robertson said. We just know we have to win. Thats it.In their 49-21 victory over the Rams on Sunday, the Saints improved to 5-6, keeping them two games behind Atlanta (7-4) in the NFC South and 1+ games behind Washington (6-4-1), which is in the final wild-card playoff spot.Like Robertson, right tackle Zach Strief suggested that a sense of desperation might have brought out the best in the Saints.I dont know how exceptionally motivated anybody was by the Rams game so much as the fact that were essentially in a win-or-go-home situation, Strief said.This team right now feels like its back is against the wall and we dont have any room for error.And maybe, for this team, thats what we need, Strief said.New Orleans has five games left to make up ground, starting when the Detroit Lions (7-4) visit the Superdome this Sunday.The recent adoption of the Lion King theme song is coincidental, said Strief, who declined to get into specifics of why the song has meaning to the club beyond saying it has to do with the position that were in and the mentality that we need to have going forward.The Saints have played in a slew of close games this season, but often struggled to pull them out. Five of their six losses have come by six or fewer points, including four by a field goal or less, one by two points and one by a single point.Saints coach Sean Payton said that with so many close games across the NFL, the ability to minimize errors and make playss in the clutch can be the difference between a successful season and a disappointing one.ddddddddddddIts an emotional game to begin with, Payton said. If you had the exact recipe each week, it would be a lot easier.The Lions, Payton noted, have found a way to win some of those (close) games, and as a result of that, theyre having a real good football season.Detroit has won five games by four or fewer points, including its most recent triumph over Minnesota on Thanksgiving Day, won by a late field goal set up by an interception.Time will tell if the Saints are evolving into the type of team the Lions have been to this point.There are several reasons for optimism, though, starting with a league-leading offense that put up a whopping 555 yards on a Rams defense that arrived in New Orleans ranked sixth in the NFL.Meanwhile, New Orleans defense has steadily performed better while benefiting from the return of key players whod been injured earlier this season -- namely, defensive tackle Sheldon Ranks, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and cornerback Delvin Breaux.Rankins, a first-round draft choice last spring, had a sack and strip that resulted in a turnover in the red zone against the Rams. Ellerbe also had a sack for a third game in a row.And while Saints defenders lambasted themselves for first-half breakdowns that allowed the Rams to score 21 points, they were pleased at their ability to make adjustments at halftime and shut out Los Angeles the rest of the way.By games end, the Saints had limited a second straight foe to fewer than 300 yards -- a far cry from their first five games, when four teams gained more than 400 yards.This team feels were better that our record shows, Strief said. We put ourselves in this situation, but this team still has a chance to do something special and I think theres confidence in the building that we can still do that.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '

The teaching major in Geography consists of the geography courses (37 credits minimum, shown in sections A, B, and C below), a teaching minor (17-33 credits), and the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) (35 credits). A 2.75 or higher overall cumulative GPA in 90 credits is required for admission to the STEP. The 2.75 minimum overall cumulative GPA must be maintained for graduation.
Students should complete 12 additional credits from among the core courses for the emphasis in the Geography major (Human-Environment Geography, Geographical Analysis and Bioregional Planning, Physical Geography). All electives must be approved by the Geography Teaching faculty advisor.
A teaching major in Geography also requires an approved teaching minor from another field of study acceptable to the Secondary Education Program of the School of Teacher Education and Leadership (TEAL).
Students must complete three levels in the STEP. All three levels of the STEP will be offered during fall and spring semesters, not during summers. Levels of the STEP are taken as a package, not piecemeal. Each level must be satisfactorily completed before a student is advanced to the next level. All courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C-. Prior to admission to the STEP, students in the Geography Teaching Major must complete MATH 1050 , unless their Math ACT score is 25 or higher.
Students should consult with advisors in major and minor departments for scheduling of special methods classes at Levels 1 and 2. Although certain combinations of majors and minors require three special methods classes, only two clinical experiences (total) should be scheduled at Levels 1 and 2. These in-school experiences are coordinated by methods instructors.
After meeting the University Studies, USU upper-division, and geography teaching major requirements, students may take the remainder of their 120 required credits in any discipline and from any department.

If you haven't heard the name Matt Szczur before you're probably not alone. Sczcur doesn't get the national exposure that Stanford's Toby Gerhart and Notre Dame's Golden Tate receive, but he deserves your attention none the less.
Szczur is a standout baseball and football player at Villanova and he excels at both sports. This season he was named the Colonial Athletic Association's Offensive and Special teams Player of the Year on the gridiron, and last spring he batted .346 to lead the Wildcat baseball squad. The football team has been in the top ten in the Football Championship Subdivision for most of the season. They played New Hampshire Saturday in the FCS playoff quarterfinals.
That success doesn't just happen though. Like any college athlete in any sport Szczur trains hard, but with two sports involved his training is unique and it's almost never ending.
Following is an article on Szczur's unique training regimine written by Villanova strength and conditioning coach Stephen King. It was published in the November edition of Training & Conditioning magazine.
When training any athlete, sport-specific factors are paramount: What are the major movers in their sport? What energy systems and muscle groups do they use most? Do they need to focus mainly on straight-ahead speed, change of direction, rapid acceleration, lateral movement, or all of the above? The list goes on.
But what happens when an athlete is training for more than one sport at a time? At the high school level, where two- and three-sport athletes are common, training demands are generally low enough to avoid raising any major concerns. At the college level, however, developing a multi-sport athlete requires special considerations.
one coherent, comprehensive training plan and carefully monitoring his progress and physical response. It poses a unique challenge for the strength and conditioning staff, but it's one we've risen to meet with enthusiasm.
The first step in planning an effective conditioning regimen is to perform a needs analysis and identify specific areas to focus on and improve. When working with a two-sport athlete, this process begins by looking for common threads between the sports in question.
For Matt's football roles, the keys are running speed, quick change-of-direction ability, upper-body strength to get off of "jams" from defenders, and total-body strength to help with breaking tackles. For baseball, the major movements are rotational swinging, straight-line running, and since he sometimes plays outfield, transitioning from a backpedal to a run. In all of Matt's workouts, we keep those priorities at the forefront, looking for exercises and progressions that will maximize cross-over benefits.
We test all our football athletes at the beginning of summer in the vertical jump, broad jump, squat, and bench press, and use the results as baseline numbers. The baseball players are tested when they arrive in the fall. This is important for tracking everyone's progress in strength and conditioning, but it's especially important for Matt, because training for two sports means a greater risk for overtraining. If we ever notice a drop off in his performance relative to his baselines, we know we need to scale back his workload and possibly make adjustments to his training regimen.
I am responsible for strength and conditioning for the baseball team, and my colleague Justus Galac works primarily with the football team. We collaborate in designing Matt's workouts, and to make this process easier on him, we decided early on to standardize as many aspects as possible. We already have very similar training philosophies, but we decided that everything from the way we taught specific lifts to the terminology we used in the weightroom should be consistent. Attention to details like these has helped Matt adapt to the demands of two teams' training schedules, while also facilitating communication among the strength coaches and sport coaches.
Matt's yearly training cycle starts in early summer. He is among the 20 or so football players who stay in town voluntarily to train during the break. In summer, he trains five days a week: conditioning work (which includes running and movement prep) every weekday, and lifting four days.
recovery. The running days typically involve series of 65-, 75-, or 80-yard runs, with the number of reps varying from 15 to 30 and the rest intervals between each rep ranging from roughly 30 to 60 seconds. The speed and agility training includes cone drills, read and react drills, and speed ladder work. On the active recovery days, the players do sub-maximal running, focusing on details such as arm mechanics.
The summer lifting program is designed to help the football team build strength for the upcoming season. It consists of two days a week of upper-body lifts and two days of lower-body lifts, alternating to allow for maximum muscle recovery.
The primary exercises on upper-body days include bench presses, pull-ups, and bent over rows. We always include at least one pressing movement, whether it's a bench press, incline bench, or some other variation, but we focus more on pull movements because they develop greater shoulder stabilization and because many players are "front dominant" in their upper-body strength. We also use unilateral and prehab movements, such as band work and horizontal and vertical protraction/retraction of the scapulae, for the shoulders and rotator cuffs.
Our main exercises for lower-body strength building include the front squat, deadlift, back squat, hang clean, and box jump. On max effort days the athletes will focus more on squats and deadlifts, while hang cleans and box jumps are reserved for dynamic movement days. Our lower-body workouts also feature unilateral and prehab movements, such as hip walks and ankle band work.
Lifting is one area where the benefits clearly cross over into both of Matt's sports. The football team's strength regimen prepares his body to withstand the rigors and high impacts of that sport, but it also helps him recruit the muscle groups that enhance rotational acceleration and upper-body strength and control, which translates into a more powerful, consistent swing. In addition, the lower-body strength exercises aimed at increasing explosiveness and speed will help him on the base paths as much as on the football field.
Many baseball players don't have time in the summer for serious strength and conditioning, as they participate in summer leagues and often play five, six, or even seven days a week. While Matt doesn't get that extra game experience as he works in the weightroom all summer, we believe his focus on conditioning more than makes up for the loss of baseball-specific activity and gives him a significant leg up on most of his teammates.
As the summer progresses and football season gets closer, conditioning priorities shift away from basic running and agility in favor of vigorous position-specific football routines. The players start doing seven-on-seven drills and agility work that mimics their running and movement demands on the field, which for Matt means a focus on sprinting, cutting, and accelerating. He'll run various routes, such as posts, corners, and comebacks, and do lateral shuffles and jump cuts. We also use reaction drills that involve him sprinting forward and then making a hard cut to the left or right depending on a visual cue from a coach.
Meanwhile, the lifting schedule changes slightly as well: Upper-body lifting still occurs two days a week, but the football players do only one day of lower-body work in late summer, and one day a week (usually Friday) is used for strongman competitions. The strongman days include events such as tire flips, farmer's walks, tug-of-war, and many other activities that are standard fare in football training programs. They provide total-body exercise, develop mental toughness and competitiveness, and promote team unity. They're also a fun change of pace for the players after a week of hard training.
By early fall, as the workload grows more and more football-specific, it's especially important for me as the baseball strength and conditioning coach to evaluate Matt's progress and ensure he's not jeopardizing his baseball fitness by over- or under-using any muscle groups or body parts. For example, the heavy rotational demands of baseball increase the risk for repetitive stress injuries to the shoulders, hips, and knees, and all three of those areas receive heavy attention during football conditioning. To keep Matt in shape for both sports and ensure he won't be on the verge of overuse injury by the time baseball's preseason training arrives, I'll supplement his football work with prehab exercises for those specific body areas.
For his shoulders, I'll prescribe band exercises with low and high external rotation, med ball work, and rotator cuff exercises. For the hips, he'll do hip walks with a band around his ankles, foot slides on a platform, and reverse hypers while holding a ball between his legs (these last two exercises are also ideal for strengthening the groin). For the knees, we use the squat-and-touch, single-leg squats, and quarter-squat holds on one leg while touching various points on the floor with the other foot.
When preseason football camp starts, lifting decreases dramatically for the entire team, Matt included. Voluntary lifting sessions are available after meetings and practices, but they typically last only 15 minutes and focus mostly on the upper body because of the pounding the lower body takes during team practice. During this time, even though Matt is lifting less, he continues with his full complement of prehab work.
Once football season begins, Matt follows essentially the same regimen as everyone else on the team. After Saturday games, the players have a light full-body lifting session on Sunday that includes yoga and core work. One other lifting session during the week, usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday, focuses on the upper body and is designed primarily to maintain strength gains made over the summer.
Matt continues with his prehab work at this time, but aside from that, we want him to focus solely on being a football player. He is an integral part of the team–on the field for most offensive plays–and it would be counterproductive to disrupt his physical rest and recovery during the week by adding baseball training to his schedule. His baseball teammates are in their fall lifting program during football season, hitting the weightroom three days a week to focus on total-body hypertrophy, building work capacity, and increasing strength and explosiveness, but he doesn't attempt to join their workouts.
At the end of football season, all the players get some time off (varying based on how much they played), and the strength coaches are responsible for monitoring their physical condition to catch signs of overuse or lingering injuries. For most players, it will be eight months or more until they take the field again for intercollegiate competition, so the pace of their return to training is highly flexible. But for Matt, baseball preseason is already on the horizon.
You might think this would mean accelerating his return to serious strength training, but that's not our approach. Because Matt plays positions in football that involve frequent, high-impact collisions, we've found that the wear and tear on his body can't be ignored by season's end. We want him to take at least a couple of weeks to rest and recuperate, so he won't start lifting again until winter break.
By that time, the baseball team is performing its most intense workouts of the year, having ramped up both lifting and running regimens since fall ball ended. With Matt not having lifted heavily since before football season, it's important for him to build up his work capacity, so we'll have him do both the baseball and football lifting routines. But we keep the lines of communication open, and he is free to tell us if he feels overwhelmed or needs to adjust his personal workload as he gradually gets back into serious lifting and conditioning.
Once the spring semester starts, Matt continues participating in both teams' workouts. The football team usually lifts three times a week (on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and on Friday does mat drills–essentially an indoor version of the summer's strongman days.
Matt's lifting sessions differ from those of the rest of the football team, as he essentially performs a hybrid of football and baseball regimens. For instance, he'll do some of the football team's higher rep work, including dips, hamstring curls, and certain presses, while following the baseball team's regimen for power movements, max strength lifts, and medicine ball activities. At this time, he also joins the baseball team for batting cage work and the start of a tossing program.
Baseball season begins in March, and the football team starts its spring practices soon after. This time is quite strenuous for Matt, as he is lifting, running, practicing with the baseball team, and playing in the games. We tailor his twice-weekly strength sessions at this time to address a few key priorities–power movements, lower-body strength development, and upper-body push and pull movements–and supplement that with more prehab exercises and medicine ball work.
We usually have him skip the baseball team conditioning sessions at this time because he does football conditioning most days and that tends to be more strenuous. Although both the baseball and football teams follow pre-determined conditioning schedules and workout programs with set progressions, we adjust Matt's routines every week based on his feedback and the way his body responds to training.
When he feels very fatigued, we'll scrap his normal lifting and other work for a day or more. In their place, he'll do recovery activities like myofascial release with a foam roll, band stretches, partner stretches, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching focusing mostly on his legs, back, and hips. He'll also do light circuit lifting to stimulate his muscles and give him an opportunity to rest and regenerate.
This is the time of year when baseball is Matt's top priority. Attending practices for both sports and playing in baseball games is physically taxing, so we dial down the intensity of his football spring practice participation. Specifically, he'll do only non-contact football work at this time.
After baseball season, Matt gets two to four weeks off before the cycle begins again with the start of summer break. He is typically below his football playing weight by this time because of the lower strength training demands of the baseball season, so he's careful to take in enough calories, carbohydrates, and protein as summer strength training kicks off to support muscle growth and build himself back into football shape.
Throughout the entire training year, it's critical for a multi-sport athlete to share feedback with the strength staff about how his body feels and how he's responding to the workout progressions. Trust is an important component of this relationship–Matt is an extremely hard worker, and we know he won't try to get out of lifts or conditioning sessions just because he wants a day off.
In fact, one of our biggest concerns at the outset was just the opposite–that he would be concerned about not shortchanging either team's training regimen, and thus push himself too hard and risk injury. Early in his college career, we explained to him that it was better to be honest about his physical limits, recognize when he was fatigued, and skip a conditioning session or the heavier portion of a lifting day when necessary. We preach to all our athletes that the strength program is aimed at stimulation and not annihilation, and this is especially important with a highly motivated athlete juggling commitments to two sports.
Another critical component of making this arrangement work is open dialogue between all the coaches involved–the strength coaches, Head Football Coach Andy Talley, Head Baseball Coach Joe Godri, and their respective staffs. Coaches have a natural inclination to not want to share their athletes, but in this case, both coaches were very receptive to the changes we made to Matt's program. We took it upon ourselves to explain that his special hybrid strength and conditioning schedule wouldn't neglect the needs of either sport, and because we were upfront about that, they let us create his plan and trusted us to track his progress.
And of course, if the coaches had any doubts, Matt's performance on the field took care of them. His .346 batting average led the baseball team last season, and he earned second-team all-conference honors in football after scoring eight touchdowns and registering over 1,000 all-purpose yards. Matt is a special athlete with an incredible work ethic and the determination needed to make a two-sport commitment work. With a training program that helps keep him strong, powerful, and injury-free, it has been very rewarding to see him excel in both sports.

How to Release File Cabinet Drawers

How to Remove a Drawer With Metal Slides
How to remove drawers from cabinets
Filing cabinets offer convenient, organised storage for your most important documents. A major downside to filing cabinet storage, however, is that bulky filing units are often very heavy. If you need to move a filing cabinet, or if you simply want to clean the inside of the unit, you'll need to remove the solid metal or wood drawers. Filing drawers do not simply slide out like a standard drawer. Because the drawers are heavy-duty, designed to support the weight of dozens of reams of paper, they often lock into place. Luckily, the process for releasing file cabinet drawers takes only a few minutes if you follow the right steps.
Empty all your files from the cabinet. Even though most file cabinet drawers are able to support dozens or even hundreds of pounds of weight, they are designed to be housed within the cabinet. Moving a fully loaded drawer outside of the cabinet will put a strain on the drawer, possibly bending or breaking the unit. Additionally, it's easier on you, since an empty drawer is obviously lighter.
Slide the drawer out as far as it can go. Try gently lifting the drawer upward. Some light-duty file cabinet drawers do not lock into place. To release drawers from a light-duty unit, you'll simply need to lift the drawer over a small "catch" or bump on the track. After lifting the drawer over the catch, it should slide right out. The drawer will typically only lift an inch or two over the catch. If the drawer does not lift up and out, you'll need to release the drawer locking mechanism as indicated in Steps 3 and 4.
Push the small metallic or plastic "release tabs" on each side of the drawer's track. The release tabs will only be visible when the drawer is kept pulled out as far as it goes. The release tabs act as a second catch to stop the drawer from sliding out involuntarily. On some filing cabinets, such locking mechanisms are released by pushing the tabs up or down, but in most cases you'll simply push the tab inward as indicated by NationalOfficeFurniture.com's guide to removing lateral file drawers.
Pull the drawer out while continuing to hold the release tabs. When the drawer is successfully removed, you can let go of the release tabs, letting them return to their normal "locked" position.
NationalOfficeFurnituer.com -- "Lateral File Drawer Removal"
To put the drawer back in, make sure the empty sliding track is extended as far as possible, then reinsert the drawer and slide it inward until the catch locks the drawer into place.
In very rare occurrences, filing cabinets will not have a catch or a release tab. With these models, you'll have to unscrew the cabinet drawer from the sliding track using a screwdriver.

Cotteridge is an area of Birmingham, England and part of the Bournville ward. It is about  miles south of Birmingham city centre. It has a shopping centre with a mixture of local shops, eateries and national brands.

Church
The Cotteridge Church is a Church of England, Methodist and United Reformed Church. local ecumenical partnership. Its building on Pershore Road was originally the Methodist church. The building was enlarged when the Church of England and URC churches were demolished to make way for a supermarket and the three congregations were merged.

The Church of England parish church was St Agnes', which began in 1898 with a mission room when it was licensed as a mission of St Nicolas', Kings Norton. A new Gothic Revival church was built in 1902 and consecrated in 1903.

The benefice of St Agnes was in the gift of the Vicar of Kings Norton until 1916, when part of St Nicolas' parish was detached to form a separate parish of St Agnes. In 1937 part of St Agnes' parish was detached to form the parish of Holy Cross, Billesley.

Schools
Cotteridge County Primary School was opened in 1900 by the Kings Norton Schools Board as a mixed infants school with a student capacity of 615. In 1911 a new infants department was opened with accommodation for 400 pupils.

In 1931 the school was reorganised to form a junior and infants department and a senior girls department. The senior girls department split from the school in 1945 to form Cotteridge Girls' County Modern School which had 160 pupils by 1961.

The idea of a CNC plotter has always been an interest of mine. The first plotter I actually encountered was in middle school, in my "communications" class, where one component of our education was actually drafting! (This was also my first experience with a CAD software.) Later, during my architectural education, I learned that the algorithms that drove that machine were similar to the same ones we were using on our laser cutter, foam cutter, and even 3D printers. Now, I'm very close to being able to understand how to program my own version of this with my own built components! This is very exciting for me. But I must first walk before running.
The most interesting idea about a CNC plotter that still doesn't quite exist would be to create a freestanding object that sits on the sheet of paper, not some machine that you load the paper into. This is unique angle really excited me and made it impossible to think of any other projects.
I thought of numerous ways I might be able to achieve this but ultimately settled on a highly unconventional way of moving the printhead: force-feedback motors from old Xbox 360 controllers. I figured between inkjets, laser printers, and any CNC plotter on Instructables, we've got precision down pretty good. Maybe it would be more interesting to have a drawing machine that draws poorly or shakily and in weird patterns.
I'm pretty sure this voided the warranty on this guy.
This motor has an off-balance weight attached to the axel creating the vibrating feeling.
After messing around with a prototype I built out of leftover pieces from my fabrication project, I found that the motors induced movement in what seemed like a fairly predictable way. If I could learn how to channel this, I could potentially make something that plotted graphics on a sheet of paper.
This was made out of leftover pieces from my failed strandbeast. The line looks pretty straight!
Using this as a foundation I set about designing a printhead that would have three force-feedback motors mounted on it and one servo motor. The force-feedback motors would push the head left or right and down. The servo would control a wheel attached to a scotch yoke that would raise and lower the pen.
I managed to get this to begin working using a series of LEDs. This showed that my algorithm worked! Each LED stands for a different motor with the white one standing for the servo.
The white light represents the pen control while the greens represent the x-axis motors and the red represents the y-axis motor.
I then started testing it with the actual printhead. During this phase, I used an image of randomly generated circles arrayed in a grid to work this out with the intention to eventually move to a webcam interface or image upload.
The above video uses solid-core wires which are very stiff. I switched to stranded wires and the results were better, but still not what I'm looking for.
While the last direction probably will produce the strongest results, I'm considering putting a bit more time into fixing this guy to work better.
Threaded rods are used for the legs.
A brush-tipped pen was used to provide varying line thicknesses.
Eventually, I hope to remove the wires completely.

What are the central teachings of the Christian Church (DOC)?
From our Statement of Identity "the Christian Church is a community of believers who through baptism into Jesus Christ are bound by covenant to God and to one another. Disciples draw their inspiration from Scripture and the Holy Spirit." We confess Jesus as the Christ, the son of the living God," and proclaim his gospel of unconditional love. We practice baptism by immersion and celebrate the Lord's Supper each time we gather for worship. We claim as our particular witness the pursuit of Christian unity, while stressing freedom and diversity under God; and we seek to serve the whole human family in the interest of peace, justice and compassion.
Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God, and receive him as your Lord and Savior?
Do you commit yourself to his Gospel of unconditional love?
If you are interested in church membership, speak to one of the church ministers or church elders. An open invitation is offered during each service of worship.
If I have been baptized in another church, do you recognize my baptism as valid?
Yes. We recognize that churches vary in their practice of baptism. Some baptize infants by sprinkling with water, others baptize by full immersion when a person is old enough to make the decision for him or herself. Our general practice is baptism by immersion, when one reaches an "age of accountability." However, we recognize baptisms conducted in other churches with practices that differ from our own; all are welcome.
Who can participate in the service of Communion?
Everyone participating in worship is welcome to the communion table. Our Lord is the host, not the ministers or elders. We practice "open communion;" all are welcome.

Can't Possibly Be True!
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | • Once again, in September, the upscale Standard Hotel, in New York City's lower Manhattan, made headlines for the views it provides to amazed pedestrians. In 2009, it was the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing amorous couples at play (unless the guests knew to draw the curtains), especially delighting out-of-towners seeking inexpensive entertainment.
Now, a September 2012 report in the New York Daily News revealed that the restrooms at the hotel's Boom-Boom Room restaurant posed a bigger problem: no curtains at all. One restroom user, from Australia, said, "Sitting on the royal throne, you don't expect a public viewing." On the other hand, the Daily News noted one gentleman relieving himself and waving merrily at the gawking crowd below. [New York Daily News, 9-11-2012]
• Valerie Spruill, 60, of Doylestown, Ohio, disclosed publicly in September that she had unknowingly married her own father following the dissolution of her first marriage, which had produced three children. Percy Spruill, a "nice man," she said, died in 1998, and Valerie told the Akron Beacon Journal that she had heard family rumors after that but only confirmed the parentage in 2004 (with DNA from an old hairbrush).
After eight years of silence, from embarrassment, she went public, she said, as an example to help other women who come from tumultuous childhoods in which many men are in their mothers' lives. [Akron Beacon Journal, 9-8-2012]
• Earlier this year, the National Football League suspended some New Orleans Saints players and the head coach for having a reward system that paid players for purposely injuring opponents. In September, coach Darren Crawford of the Tustin (Calif.) Pee Wee Red Cobras team was suspended when former players reported that the coach ran an apparently similar scheme among his 10- and 11-year-olds, using a cash reward of up to $50 for the "hit of the game" (with last year's top prize going to the boy who left an opposing running back with a mild concussion).
At press time, the investigation was ongoing, and no charges had been filed. [Orange County Register, 9-27-2012]
