A Summary of the So-Called Photian Schism
From the Notes of Lay-Brother Michael
(The Initial Event Leading to the Official Split
Between Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox)
Western historians have long termed the controversy between Patriarch St. Photius and Rome the 'Photian Schism'. It is claimed that the Eastern Church, with Photius, through his selfish ambition and wanting to revolt from the universally acknowledged authority of Rome, which he saw a yoke to their independence, trumped up the charge of the Filioque as heresy, even though the addition had been around for 400 years.
And he did this only as an excuse to counter Rome and engineer a 'split' which would grant his Church independence. Then, after the Photian controversy, the 'history' of the Great Schism continues, and these charges were renewed and the split finalized by Michael Cerularius in 1054, granting the Eastern church its autonomy.
But the Eastern Church has a very different reading of these events, all of which depends on how one understands the actual place of the Roman See in the Church, and the political situation of the East and West Romans and the Franks.
In 847 was the repose of St. Methodius, patriarch of Constantinople, appointed by Empress Theodora and one of the restorers of the Icons. Ignatios, a monk, and son of the former Emperor Michael I Rhangabe, was appointed Patriarch by Theodora without an ecclesiastical election.
In 856 Emperor Michael III, the son of Theodora, left the government mostly in the charge of his uncle Bardas, brother to Theodora.
Ignatios was part of the extreme monastic party left over from iconoclastic times, and had little of the diplomacy of St. Methodius, and so he engendered splits within the ranks of the clergy.
Also, the young Emperor and Bardas conspired to totally control the government, had his Mother Theodora and sisters put in monasteries, and her chief advisor Theocristus killed. Ignatios refused to tonsure them nuns against their will, so in 858 Ignatios was arrested for treason and exiled to the island of Terebinthos, where he later submitted his voluntary resignation.
For almost a year the patriarchal throne was vacant, then in 858 Photius, a learned and respected professor of philosophy and dialectics at the Imperial University, and holder of various other high civil offices, as well as ambassador, was requested by Bardas to accept the patriarchate.
He was the nephew of patriarch Tarasios, who presided over the Seventh Ecumenical Council, and the most distinguished scholar of his time. Photius did not want to serve in such a high office, but rather to pray and study in peace, but he reluctantly agreed to become patriarch. He was canonically elected by clergy and laymen in 858 as Patriarch, and in 6 days was elevated through the ranks of clergy to the highest office.
However, by 859 fanatic followers of Ignatios resolved to dethrone Photius. Ignatios did not act in any way to stop them. They decided to appeal to Rome, despite the already poor relations between them. Their petition was signed by only six metropolitans and fifteen bishops.
In 859-860 some of those dissident monks arrived in Rome from Constantinople, and, as followers of Ignatios, told pope Nicholas that they refused to recognize Photius as the lawful patriarch.
Pope Nicholas, learning that Photius, being a layman, was made patriarch, which in his eyes was uncanonical, (canons in the West forbade hasty ordinations, whereas there were no such canons in the East; and it is interesting to note that St. Ambrose, bishop of Milan, living in the 4th century in the West, was elevated from lay-man to bishop in just 8 days, just as St. Photius was) saw his opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the Church of Constantinople. He was an exponent of the idea of the 'universal jurisdiction' papacy and had written extensively on this, and had brought the Western hierarchy under him.
He intended not only to subject the Eastern Church to the papacy, but also to wrest control of the whole Balkan peninsula, southern Italy, Sicily, and all the new Slavic lands which had just begun to accept the Christian faith from Constantinople.
However, Nicholas was to find that although he was able to subject an illiterate West, with little knowledge of councils past, the Easterners viewed with scorn and contempt his quest for supremacy over them.
In 859 Photius held a council in the Church of the Holy Apostles to counter the rebellious bishops. The council ratified Photius's election. But the Ignatians protested and the emperor stepped in and persecuted them, which the patriarch Photius denounced, and said if they did not stop he would abdicate. Through his efforts the persecution was checked, and Bardas allowed Ignatios to return to Constantinople. But Ignatios still refused to accept Photius.
In 859, still not yet receiving Photius's enthronement letter, or aware of the Photian council, pope Nicholas wrote to Photius and the Emperor- he questioned and discredited the election of Photius. In his view all controversies need to be appealed to Rome, thus he attacked the election of Photius while there was still dissention over Ignatios' deposition and resignation.
In 861 Emperor Michael III, with approval of Photius ordered a general council to discuss the question. This has come to be known as the First-Second Council. He invited all the patriarchs including that of Rome. Nicholas sent legates to the council to approve Photius if they found his election to be canonical, but only if Rome got Illyricum and South Italy. The Council ratified Photius' patriarchate, but the conditions made by pope Nicholas were ignored.
Photius, after the council, wrote a letter to Nicholas outlining his view of his election to the episcopate, the importance of adhering to Tradition, and that the Christian Faith is the foundation of Christian unity, not secondary issues such as the shaving of clergy, different prayers and rules of fasting.
Instead of softening the heart of Nicholas, his anger increased. In 863 Nicholas convoked a council in the Lateran, unjustly deposed and excommunicated Photius, and recognized Ignatios as Patriarch. He wrote letters to Michael II and Photius, and to the Eastern Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem, commanding them to be made known to their faithful the decisions of Rome.
This action of Nicholas is considered by some historians to be the first major breach between the Eastern and Western church.
This initiated Photius' challenge of the right of the papacy to rule on matters of the Eastern Church, over the new assertions of the pope of Rome, and the use of the Filioque in the Western Nicean Creed.
Emperor Michael replied to the pope that the papal decisions had no validity. No one had appointed the pope to pass judgement on Photius and the Eastern Church.
The Pope replied in even louder terms based on the 'Donation of Constantine' and the "Isidorian Decretals", and the "Peter/Rock" exegesis of Scripture.
The Pope then ordered Photius and Ignatios to be sent to Rome to be judged by him. Photius was silent, and gave no reply. The Byzantine Emperor then terminated further contact with the pope.
In 860 came the Russian attack of Byzantium. The people called the 'Rus' came in a surprise attack upon Byzantium when the Emperor and army were away, and ravaged the countryside. St. Photius prayed with the people for God to be their shield and general, and when the Russians departed almost all their ships were destroyed by a storm. Later these same people were to be converted to Christianity.
In 863 brothers Cyril and Methodius were sent by Photius to preach the Gospel to the Slavonic people in their own tongue. They invented a new alphabet for Slavonic, and then translated the Bible and the Liturgy.
It was at this time when, seeing the success and purpose of St. Cyril and St. Methodius, the Frankish clergy made the declaration that the only languages permissible to serve the Eucharist were the three written by Pilate above the Cross of Christ: Hebrew, Greek, Latin.
Cyril and Methodius went to Rome in regard to this dispute with the Western bishops. Pope Hadrian II, not wanting to offend the Franks, agreed with the brothers, and approved their translated service books. Although St. Cyril died in 869, St. Methodius was elevated by the pope to a bishopric in Illyricum, an area he claimed was in his jurisdiction.
The Germans, infuriated, imprisoned Methodius for over two years until the pope secured his release, by agreeing he could not use Slavonic in Church services. He visited St. Photius in 882 and was received cordially. St. Methodius reposed in 885. His work was continued by others among the Slavonic people, and firmly established Orthodox Christianity on Slavonic soil, in Moravia, Bulgaria and later to Russia.
In 864, during this time there began the struggle between Constantinople and Rome over the new Bulgarian Church. King Boris, jealous of the alliance between the Moravians and Byzantium, sent an embassy to the Franks. However, the Byzantine army showed up on Boris' frontiers, and the imperial navy off his coast, and so induced him to listen to Byzantium.
The last thing Byzantium wanted was a Bulgarian alliance with the Franks and Rome, and asked Boris to forgo a Frankish alliance and receive Orthodoxy form Constantinople. Boris, then converted to Orthodoxy, and was catechized and baptized by Photius, and Emperor Michael was his godfather.
But soon Boris, impressed by Photius and the Office of Patriarch, wanted to have his own Patriarch and an independent Bulgarian Church. Photius however, considering them new in the Faith, wanted to only send them missionaries.
Boris then turned hastily again to the Franks and Rome in the hope of getting from them an independent church. Pope Nicholas persuaded Boris to separate from the Church of Constantinople and to receive clergy that Nicholas sent to Bulgaria. He tried to convince Boris that Rome as the heir of the chair of St. Peter was the very source of the episcopate itself, and therefore Boris could not receive any bishop but from Rome.
Nicholas sent many clergy and bishops, who impressed Boris. They also persecuted and drove out the Eastern bishops who were already there.
In 865, meanwhile, in Constantinople, Basil, the friend of Emperor Michael, came into conflict with the ambitious and powerful Bardas, influenced Michael against him, and slew him. Then he was made his co-emperor by Michael.
In 867 Photius wrote to Pope Nicholas, declaring the belief in the independence of the Eastern Church. He demanded as an ultimatum that the papal decision against Photius be withdrawn. He also wrote declaring that the East Romans reject Rome's claim to supremacy.
He had also sent a circular letter to the other patriarchates regarding the intrusion of Rome into Bulgaria and the crimes of the papal clergy, and requested that the patriarchs to come or send deputies to a council to discuss this. Photius also knew that the fate of the Balkan peninsula was a matter of life or death for Byzantium. (i.e. the Byzantine Commonwealth).
So in response to his summons a great council was convoked in Constantinople, with one thousand monks, bishops and clerics in attendance.
At this council Pope Nicholas was excommunicated for these reasons: His claim for primacy of jurisdiction over the whole church, his insulting actions against the Eastern Church, the papal invasion into Bulgaria, the heretical teaching of the Frankish missionaries and the Filioque addition to the Creed. His letters were read at the council, and by a unanimous vote Nicholas was held to be unworthy of the episcopate and was excommunicated (note that he was not deposed- to have deposed him would have meant a certain claim of jurisdiction over Rome, something which the Byzantines themselves rejected from the pope! However, any Church has the right to separate themselves from communion with clerics She finds guilty, and no longer considers them bishops).
The council also rejected the Frankish doctrine of the Flioque as heretical. Latin interference in the affairs of the Byzantine Church were declared unlawful.
The German Emperor Louis II, recognized as Emperor of the West, was asked by the council, with the consent of Emperor Michael and Co-Emperor Basil to depose Nicholas. However, before this could be responded to or done, pope Nicholas died, and there was a new pope Hadrian II.
Soon after there was also a radical change of government in Byzantium.
At the end of 867 the new Emperor Basil I, in the midst of political intrigue, ascended the throne through the murder of Michael III, and was refused communion by Photius. Basil then deposed Photius and reinstated Ignatios on the patriarchal throne.
Basil, seemingly recognizing the authority of Rome in Byzantine Church affairs, sent representatives to Rome, and in 869 a council was held there in which Photius (and his associates) was anathematized for his 'unexampled impudence.'
Hadrian said at that council, 'The Pope judges all bishops, but we do not read that any have judged him'. He then wrote a letter to Basil, carried back by Basil's representatives, which told him to hold a council at Constantinople, at which his legates would preside and judge Photius.
In 869-870 Basil held this council in Constantinople. It is considered by the Roman Catholics to be the 8th Ecumenical Council, but regarded as a robber council by the Orthodox. Pope Hadrian II sent his representatives to this council on Basil's agreement to hold it.
Only 110 bishops attended, stacked by the emperor against Photius. This may seem like a lot of bishops, but is really a fraction if one considers that the patriarchate of Constantinople alone consisted of 600 bishops. This Council condemned Photius and acquitted Ignatios and the reposed pope Nicholas I. Ignatios, although present, remained silent through the council. Photius was exiled by Basil to the Monastery of the Holy Protection on the Bosporos. Although wrongly deposed, he did not excite his followers to rebellion, but entreated them to bear the events without protest.
How did this council became recognized as the 8th Ecumenical Council? When Latin canonists in the 11th century, during the investiture controversy, found in the acts of this council a decision forbidding the laity to interfere with the election of a bishop, they were so delighted and pleased that they not only forgot this council was later condemned, and even condemned by a pope, but promoted it to be one of the greatest councils of the Church.
But then something unexpected occurred at this council. Three days after the last session concluded, a Bulgarian embassy arrived in Constantinople seeking to establish an independent Church. The council convened again to consider the question of whether the Bulgarians belonged to Rome or Constantinople. Boris had become disillusioned with Rome when they had rejected his candidates for the archbishopric, so he decided to turn to Constantinople again.
Despite vehement protests from the Roman legates, the council decided in favor of Byzantium. Emperor Basil permitted patriarch Ignatios to consecrate Joseph as Archbishop and several other bishops for the Bulgars. The Bulgarian Church in turn, recognized the supremacy of Constantinople, but they still had some measure of autonomy.
When pope Hadrian heard of the decision about Bulgaria, he threatened Ignatios and Joseph with excommunication. But Ignatios refused to submit to the pope.
Finally the new pope John VIII (872-882), waiting to pass the sentence of Hadrian, gave Ignatios an ultimatum- he would be excommunicated if he did not recall his bishops from Bulgaria in 30 days. However, this never passed, as Rome instead concentrated on missionary work in Moravia (Czechoslovakia) and the East with Methodius in Macedonia and Bulgaria, and the situation resolved itself.
In 875 Photius was recalled to Constantinople by Emperor Basil, feeling bad over how he had treated such a great man. Patriarch Ignatios also asked for his return.
In 879-880 Patriarch Ignatios, realizing he was close to death, advised emperor Basil to restore Photius as Patriarch.
In 879 a new council was held in Constantinople, which was formed as an Ecumenical Council at the time, though no longer recognized as such by either East or West, restored Photius to the patriarchate. In his letter to the council, pope John VII recognized Photius as the legitimate patriarch, and condemned the two earlier councils that had censured Photius.
However, he also took the opportunity to put forth claims of papal primacy, and acted as though Constantinople had required his approval of the return of Photius, and made many demands of Photius.
At this council it was stated in reply that the pope is a patriarch like any other patriarch, and that he possessed no authority over the whole church.
Hence it was not critical for the patriarch of Constantinople to receive confirmation from the pope. The council enacted a canon which said the bishop of Rome could only enjoy those privileges which he canonically possessed up to that time, which was his own jurisdiction in the West and the patriarchal primacy of honor.
The council in this way forbade Rome from extending her prerogatives in any way. The robber council of 869-870 in Constantinople was rejected.
Also, the theology of the Frankish councils of 1) Frankfort, which condemned the 7th Ecumenical Council, and 2) Aachen, which promoted the Filioque, were condemned, without mentioning their name or the exact doctrines involved. It simply condemned those who added or subtracted from the Creed, and did not accept the Seventh Ecumenical Council.
This was the first time in history that an ecumenical council did not mention a heresy or heretics by name - and here the Franks are clearly the heretics.
The Roman pope, represented at this council by his legates, and knowing it would be published and known in the West, could not afford to openly condemn the Franks, for they were essentially in control of Rome, and they had to be handled with great care and tact.
Despite his reservation, pope John VIII accepted the Photian council of 879-880. He also rejected the Filioque saying: '..we know the severe punishment he would deserve who would dare tamper with it (the Creed) ..we condemn those who, in their folly, have had the audacity to act otherwise from the beginning, as violators of the divine word. They are falsifiers of the doctrine of Christ, of the Apostles, and of the Fathers who have transmitted their Creed to us through the Councils.'
Yet he did say that he would not force those who already said the Creed this way to change.
Basil and Photius remained steadfast in their refusal to accept papal claims and in their overseeing of the Church and State affairs of Bulgaria.
Relations at this time between Rome and the East were reestablished due to this council, though they were casual and indefinite.
After the council Photius and Basil worked on the Epanagogue - the document of the policy of how Church and state, Patriarch and Emperor, the Sacerdotal and Secular, were to work together.
In 883 Photius sent a letter to the metropolitan of Aquileia in Italy defending the orthodox position of the procession of the Holy Spirit. This long epistle has come to be known by the title of 'The Mystagogy of the Holy Spirit.'
Unfortunately, with another change of government in Constantinople, Photius was again deposed and died soon afterwards.

State EPA tests Vero firm's method of reducing chemicals in environment
VERO BEACH — Excess pesticides and fertilizer that flow off crops or land can pollute waterways.
The result is algae blooms — thick green muck that clouds water — that release harmful toxins that could cause bad tasting drinking water, unhealthy aquatic life and the smothering of natural vegetation.
Florida's Environmental Protection Agency in the fall started testing a local company's chemical agent to reduce the amount of chemicals entering the environment and continued its testing this week. Agricultural Solutions of Vero Beach promotes using a chemical agent called Polymer Delivery System, or PDS, which binds with water to keep moisture on the crops longer and reduce the amount of chemical run-off into its surroundings.
PDS is non-toxic and its use suggests a positive impact on the environment when combined with agricultural chemicals, officials said.
This is in response to the EPA's new standard to "green up" Florida.
By 2012, the nutrients, or amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus in Florida's waterways, must be reduced by 20 percent. There previously was a narrative description of the requirement, but now a numeric prerequisite has been attached to the rule.
In a letter to Agriculture Solutions founder Bill Davis, John Coates, deputy director for Florida's Department of Environmental Protection Water Resource Management division, wrote, "We truly applaud your innovation and initiative to find improved products to help control the spread of invasive plants in Florida. Such improvements for invasive species' eradication and herbicide application methods can increase safety for applicators and the environment while significantly reducing land management costs for both the public and private land management companies."
On Wednesday, South Florida Water Management District performed an aerial test using PDS with select herbicides. A helicopter flew over a 60-acre test site in the Everglades Agricultural Area in Palm Beach County. Brazilian pepper trees and mixed weeds were sprayed.
"We have been planning for this aerial testing for a long time. We believe that the results will confirm what we have been able to demonstrate on a smaller scale," said Andreas Fausch of Agriculture Solutions.
In addition to the environmental benefits, the reduction of chemicals being released has an economic impact. Tourism is one beneficiary, as are citrus growers and small businesses, officials said. One Fort Pierce-based commercial landscaper told Agriculture Solutions that PDS has reduced its applied rates of micronutrients by 30 to 50 percent. Agricultural Solutions said farmers and commercial landscapers could decrease their costs from $60 per gallon of chemicals to $35 per gallon with PDS.
Scientist and inventor, Dr. Len Pinchuk, of Miami, developed PDS. He is well known for his work in biomaterials, medical devices and antimicrobials with more than 80 U.S. patents.

In a bid to unload foreclosures, Fannie Mae showers thousands on buyers, brokers
It's kind of like the home buyer tax credit all over again - this time with a foreclosure twist to it.
With its stockpile of foreclosed homes rising by the day, government-owned mortgage giant Fannie Mae has characteristically decided to throw money at the problem - and lots of it. After all, there's lots of inventory to move - 150,000 foreclosed homes and condos at last count.
Home buyers who scoop up a foreclosure special before the end of the year can get 3.5 percent of the final sales price to put towards closing costs, under the latest Fannie Mae sweetener for foreclosure buyers.
That means $8,750 towards closing costs on a $250,000 home - a significantly better deal than the old $8,000, home buyer tax credit.
And as they say, that's not all. Fannie Mae will also provide buyers with a low cost, fixed rate mortgages with down payments as little as 3 percent. Even somewhat tarnished credit is not necessarily an obstacle, the troubled mortgage giant explains in a write-up on its new housing initiative.
Don't worry brokers, there's a bone here for you, too - a $1,500 bonus per sale if you manage to sell a Fannie foreclosure.
All sounds pretty desperate, at least from the perspective of Fannie Mae and its growing financial problems. It's stock, once in the $67 dollar range, is now down to 27 cents.
However, if you are looking for a home, it probably can't hurt to check out what Fannie can do for you. The catch is that is has to be a Fannie foreclosure - here's a link to the HomePath.com site.
I took a quick gander. Boston and its environs has an wide assortment of condos - lots of one-bedrooms Revere, Chelsea and Dorchester, more than a few below $100,000.
I also took a look at the western suburbs - Middlesex County - and got a different menu altogether. More than a few single-family homes,but in the $300,000 range and up.
Happy hunting!

1888-02-18 (150lbs) Alec Roberts w pts 12 Alec Burns, Paradise Street School of Arms, Lambeth, London, England
1888-02-18 (150lbs) Alec Roberts w pts 12 Alec Burns, Paradise Street School of Arms, Lambeth, London, England. Referee: George Dunning. In a rematch, Roberts (146) eliminated Burns (149) from the title race when collecting the decision after a rattling good contest. Both men were down in the eighth, but in forcing the fight from early on Burns had weakened himself by the halfway stage and that point Roberts took full advantage. Roberts showed a great left jab and much cleverness, while Burns proved himself to be a great competitor who carried a heavy punch in both hands.
Meanwhile, Ted White (who outpointed Bill Husbands over four rounds on 14 January 1889 at the Pelican Club, Soho, London) won a championship competition at the weight.
Towards the end of February 1889, Ted Pritchard challenged the world, preferably Nonpareil Jack Dempsey, to decide the world middleweight title at 150lbs. A few days later Bill Chesterfield Goode accepted the challenge, on the proviso that the winner should take Dempsey on for the world title.

Four Catholic school boy, whose lives revolve around basketball, find their rebellious natures leading them towards less savoury pursuits.
Although the title conjures up images of another no-hopers-to-world-beaters type movie, this is the very antithesis of the predictable all-you-need-is-team-spirit genre. In fact, it focuses on four rebellious Catholic boys, in particular charismatic diarist Jim Carroll, whose adolesence becomes an inexorable downward spiral into drug addiction and crime.
Of the four, only Neutron hauls his life back on track and gains a basketball scholarship, while the others throw away their sporting talents, descending into hustling to finance their habits. The physical Mickey develops a penchant for violent robbery, Pedro's carelessness inevitably gets him arrested, and Jim's diary entries turn surreal as his life collapses into vagrancy and squalor.
Without rising star DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg this would have been considerably more turgid and unappealing. But their charm allows sympathy and involvement with the characters, despite their efforts towards self-destruction. DiCaprio's performance is further evidence of great things to come, taking Carroll convincingly from schoolboy pranks to harrowing sequences of addication and cold turkey.
Not exactly upbeat watching but the charm of an early DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg makes this worthwhile viewing.

BWW Interviews: Actor Emrhys Cooper Shares Feelings About Being the First Western Actor in a Bhutanese Film
"Bhutan is a country?" Almost no one knows the answer is "yes". Or, that it is firmly landlocked between India, Tibet, Nepal and China, perched high in the stormy Himalayan Mountains. Or, that it has that the only Capital in the world that bans traffic lights. Or, where everyone has the same birthday (officially, the day after New Years Day. This way, no one forgets anyone's birthday). Or, that it was the first country in the world to ban the production and sales of tobacco. Or, that it was the last country in the world to get television in 1999.
In this splendidly quixotic land, Bhutanese Director Karma Deki wanted to make a movie that would highlight the magnificence and mystery of her country. Plucked for the role was young British actor Emrhys Cooper. The 29-year-old plays the main character Charlie in Kushuthara: Pattern of Love. Kushuthara explores the Buddhist concept of Karma and the possibility of rebirth of two persons in one lifetime to accomplish what was left unrealized in a previous life. The film is due for worldwide release later this year and tipped for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Film category at the Academy Awards. To this date, no other Western actor has ever starred in a Bhutanese Produced Film.
Emrhys was advised not to take the role because of potential insurance concerns; but instead went with his gut feeling. The rising Hollywood star, who is based in Los Angeles and London, spent six weeks filming in the South Asian Himalayan country. Devon-born Emrhys, who has had previous acting roles in Desperate Housewives, CSI:NY and the film musical Mamma Mia! spoke of how his view on life has changed following his experiences in the Kingdom. "Even my arrival into the country was a whirlwind national news phenomenon," said Emrhys. "It's the biggest movie they've ever made and they welcomed me with the most amazing open arms. I was on TV across the country and I was treated like an absolute superstar. It was a truly amazing yet humbling experience."
Emrhys - a singer, dancer and producer - has documented his experiences in a video diary, which is being made into a TV documentary for Broadcast later in the year. He says learning about the Bhutanese culture has changed his view on life and taught him the true meaning of happiness."Life in Bhutan is rich, vivacious and splendid, filled with an appreciation for home, love, family and beauty," said Emrhys. "My time there awakened me and I was completely inspired by the level of contentment and utter joy that the Bhutanese people feel within their daily lives."

Webb can add missing title today
MURFREESBORO — The Webb School of Knoxville has a storied sports history, with trophy cases chock full of golden championship hardware.
One item is absent: a state boys' soccer title.
And the Spartans could claim that today.
Webb tallied two goals in the first seven minutes of its Division II-A state semifinal Wednesday against Evangelical Christian School, and it used that early momentum to score a 4-0 win at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex.
Webb (16-3-1) will play Franklin Road Academy or St. George's for the championship at 5:30 p.m. EDT today at the soccer complex stadium.
"This is the farthest we've ever been," said Webb coach Seth Harbin. "The most wins in school history, as far as I know.
"It's huge for us. We've worked for it since we started in the preseason. The goal has been a state championship. We're here. We have 80 more minutes to play.
"We feel like we are the best team. But we have to go out there and show it — and play like it."
Webb played like it Wednesday.
Will Walker, a senior midfielder/forward, scored two goals against ECS. He gave his team a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute by scoring on a penalty kick.
"It's always huge to get the first goal of the game, because that sets the tone for the rest of the game," said Walker. "We kept our intensity up after that goal, and that's what really kept us going."
Walker put Webb ahead 3-0 on an unassisted goal in the 21st minute.
Sandwiched between Walker's first-half goals came quite the gift — an own goal in the seventh minute.
Webb put any comeback hopes away for the Eagles when Robby Strachan scored on an assist from Townes Bouchard-Dean in the 54th minute.
"I can't wait until tomorow's game," said Walker. "We're just going to give it our all and play our best."

haha your muscular physique is very similar to mine just about 3 times bigger!
Well hell, didnt' expect that much of a response. I thought they were mediocre pics at best. I've gained about 10-15 lbs since starting about 3 months ago. Most of it muscle I'm hoping since I didnt gain too much fat. Finally benched 300, Deadlifted 550 at the peak before the injury
Although I realize I probably dont work my calves enough, rest assured they ARE 17" which isn't tiny, but quads are a bit ahead. I just hate calf work. Oh and I did not do direct arm, delt, or ab work.
I appreciate the feedback guys. It've worked my ass off with about 5-6 hrs of sleep a night and when people recognize that, it's all worth it.

Big and lean everywhere justin. I see some definition just about everywhere. I'd say the only imbalance is in the calves. It could be just the lighting though.

If the Lions want Whisenhunt, they'll have to wait
Jan 6, 2014 at 12:42p ET
Ken Whisenhunt can look -- and finally talk -- but he still can't touch.
The San Diego Chargers' upset Sunday at Cincinnati means that the Detroit Lions probably won't officially name their new coach to replace Jim Schwartz until at least next week.
Whisenhunt, who is San Diego's offensive coordinator, is allowed to interview with teams for a head-coaching job the next few days, but no deal can be made official until after the Chargers' season ends per NFL rules.
San Diego, which once was 5-7 before a late-season surge (sort of the opposite of how the Lions' season went, leading to Schwartz's firing), advanced to the next round and plays at Denver next Sunday.
Whisenhunt, 51, is considered a heavy favorite to get the Detroit job. Call him the leader at the turn, a golf term that is appropriate in his case.
"Whiz," as he's called, is a golf fanatic. He grew up in Augusta, Ga., and used to help work the scoreboard on the 18th hole during the Masters tournament when he was a teenager.
His golf highlights include shooting an even-par 72 on the Masters course six years ago with an eagle on the par-4 11th hole. He got serious about pursing a golf career when his football playing days ended, and participated in the 1994 U.S. Mid-Amateur before deciding to get into coaching.
The Lions aren't the only ones with interest in him. Tennessee, Minnesota and Washington also have reportedly requested interviews.
"I'm honored I'm mentioned," Whisenhunt said last week during his weekly news conference with reporters in San Diego.
Ken Whisenhunt on interview rumors
It's an awkward time because his focus has to be on preparing the Chargers for this opportunity. They're two more upsets away from getting to the Super Bowl.
But there's a lot on the line for him personally with these upcoming interviews, one of which will be with Lions general manager Martin Mayhew, his former teammate more than two decades ago with the Washington Redskins.
Whisenhunt has to be careful what he says right now.
"You're so focused that you don't pay a lot of attention to it," he said of the rumors.
The recent success of the Chargers, who have won five straight, has only helped bolster Whisenhunt's reputation.
"This has been great from a standpoint of getting a chance to work with these players and this staff," he said of going back to being a coordinator. "I'm very thankful for that opportunity.
"I think one of the most important aspects of this job is being able to try to do things to fit your personnel. We're not regimented into this is what we do and this is all we do. We're always looking to expand."
From all indications, Whisenhunt to the Lions appears to be the most likely scenario.
The club, however, did interview Baltimore offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell last week and plans to meet with Cincinnati offensive coordinator Jay Gruden (Jon's brother), possibly Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, too.
Denver defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio also makes sense because of his head-coaching experience in Jacksonville (two playoff appearances in nine years) and as the interim earlier this season for the Broncos.
None of them, including Whisenhunt, are the high-profile "home run" choice that Detroit fans probably want to try to push this team over the top and into the Super Bowl for the first time.
But Lovie Smith (Tampa Bay) and Bill O'Brien (Houston) already are taken; Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy apparently aren't getting back into coaching, at least not now; and Vince Lombardi isn't alive.
The fact is there are no sure things out of the group that was available this year, including Smith and O'Brien.
You can make arguments about college coaches such as Stanford's David Shaw, Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin and Baylor's Art Briles, but they are risks. Just because Philadelphia's Chip Kelly made the quick transition from college to the NFL doesn't mean others can do the same.
The Lions took a shot on a coordinator with no head-coaching experience last time and they had to let Schwartz learn on the job before everything crumbled around him at the end of this season as Detroit lost six of its last seven after starting 6-3.
They have a roster that seems ready to win now. What they need is a coach who has proven he can get the job done at the highest level.
Whisenhunt has done that. He's taken a team to the Super Bowl, but he's failed, too. He was 18-30 in his final three years as Arizona's head coach before getting fired a year ago.
Nevertheless, out of the candidates who are out there, his background probably best fits what the Lions need.
He's a former college quarterback/tight end at Georgia Tech, where he received a civil engineering degree, and was a 12th-round draft pick in 1985 by the Atlanta Falcons.
Whisenhunt played nine years in the NFL with the Falcons, Redskins and New York Jets. He appeared in 74 games and made 62 catches for 601 yards and six touchdowns.
After giving golf a try, he got started in coaching as the special teams/tight ends coach at Vanderbilt in 1995. He moved on to the NFL and was a tight ends coach for six years and a special-teams coach for one season before becoming the Steelers' offensive coordinator in 2004.
Whisenhunt helped develop Ben Roethlisberger during the quarterback's first three years in the league and earned a Super Bowl ring when the Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL at Ford Field in Detroit eight years ago.
That run turned Whisenhunt into one of the NFL's top coaching prospects and landed him in Arizona. He teamed up with quarterback Kurt Warner to take the Cardinals to the Super Bowl during the 2008 season.
A year later, Warner retired and the Cardinals fell apart. They lost nine straight games in 2012 (before beating the Lions) to leave Whistenhunt with an overall record of 45-51 in six years. Major problems at quarterback and on the offensive line were the primary reasons for the downfall.
Whisenhunt interviewed for some other head-coaching jobs a year ago after the Cardinals dumped him but he ended up as the offensive coordinator in San Diego, where he helped quarterback Philip Rivers rebound from a poor season.

As a weekday driver through the intersection at North Bell School and Guilford roads, I thought I had seen just about everything.
As a weekday driver through the intersection at North Bell School and Guilford roads, I thought I had seen just about everything.
Today, a frustrated driver passed on the right side curb area to turn right on Guilford (west). Suddenly, a car followed. Next, within seconds, two passed on the right; got to the intersection and went around the car in it, which was turning left into the school there; and passed it on the right to continue straight (south) on Bell School Road. I was in the second car at the intersection, and those that pulled out and went straight were cars three and four behind me.
The time was 7:46 a.m. Cars were backed up behind me almost to Livingston Drive to the north and past Larwinn Drive and nearly to Meander Drive on the south. Both mornings and afternoons are long waits at the light. There is no right turn lane or left turn lane for those going north or south. It is a daily occurrence when I am there at this time that cars pass those wanting to turn left, both ways, and do so on the curb sides, usually to turn right.
The school has been there since 1996 but recently expanded. It was dangerous then, but it's worse now. I don't mind watching geese and hawks fly overhead as I wait for those turning left, but the one who put me at risk are a bit annoying. We really need right and left turn lanes, all four directions, at Guilford and North Bell School roads.

Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney continued his mini-feud with Justin Bieber by poking fun at the young pop star on Twitter.
The "Lonely Boy" took to Twitter where he changed his name from "Patrick Carney" to "Justin Bieber Carney," which has since been deleted, N.Y. Daily News reported.
Carney's Twitter page now reads, "Official twitter for the actual verified Patrick Carney (formerly Justin Bieber). Drummer in the Black Keys." The Grammy award-winning artist changed the profile back to his semi-original page after a series of outraged messages from Bieber's fans flooded his Twitter page.
"Do you even know how stupid and immature u look doing this. Aren't u like fifty?" wrote one user. Carney was not offended by the angry Belibers. Instead he would respond to nearly half of the tweets sarcastically, which he would retweet. He responded to the previous comment stating, "You look great #jealous."
The feud started after Carney remarked to TMZ that Beiber didn't need to be nominated for a Grammy saying, "He's rich, right? Grammys are for like music, not for money ... and he's making a lot of money. He should be happy."
Bieber replied on Twitter saying that Carney should be "slapped around."
Carney has since taken on his original identity writing, "Justin is gone now. DNA recombo unsuccessful. I will try again soon though!"
That would be me. RT @queensigh: @patrickcarney only tru justin bieber can RT this

Commercial prospects for a critically acclaimed Chinese film inspired by the country's most popular social media service are, like the service itself, slowly suffocating under the weight of censorship.
"A Touch of Sin" a meditation on modern violence by Chinese indie master Jia Zhangke, is the most globally celebrated Chinese film in recent memory. It won best screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival last year, has charmed critics and rates a robust 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Desire to see the film in Taiwan was so strong that local distributors set up a mini-festival , which kicked off last week, to help it get around local import quotas.

The Cannes jury awarded major prizes to films by Jia Zhangke of China and Hirokazu Koreeda of Japan, two of Asia's top directors whose films frequently grace the screens of the world's major film festivals.
The award for best screenplay went to Mr. Jia for "A Touch of Sin," which he also directed, about the struggles of ordinary people in contemporary China told through four separate stories.
The upcoming Melbourne International Film Festival describes itself as "a feast of cinematic delicacies from over 50 countries." Yet Australia's largest film festival, now in its 58th year, may end up with a glaring omission in its 2009 program: A dearth of films from mainland Chinese directors.
This week, several Chinese directors, including the independent film darling Jia Zhangke, abruptly withdrew their works from screening at the festival, which starts on Friday and runs through Aug. 9.
According to Reuters, the pullouts were a protest against the festival's inclusion of a documentary about exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer, who has been accused by the Chinese government of instigating the recent unrest in Xinjiang from abroad. Earlier this month, Richard Moore, director of the Melbourne International Film Festival, said he had rejected a request from Chinese Consulate to take the Kadeer documentary off the festival program.

A modeling study by U.S. Forest Service researchers shows that reforesting the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley can significantly reduce runoff from agricultural lands and the amount of sediment entering the area's rivers and streamsand ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. The journal Ecological Engineering recently published the results of the study by Forest Service Southern Research Station scientists Ying Ouyang, Ted Leininger, and Matt Moran.
The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley, located in the historic floodplain of the Mississippi River, stretches from Cairo, Illinois south to the Gulf of Mexico. One of the largest coastal and river basins in the world, the area is also one of the most affected by floods, erosion, and sediment deposition as a result of more than a century of converting bottomland hardwood forests to agricultural lands.
Sediments from frequently flooded agricultural lands often carry pesticides and fertilizers, the latter associated with the formation of the hypoxic (low oxygen) dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. Forest buffers reduce runoff and sediment load from flooded agricultural lands; in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley, the frequently flooded agricultural land in the batture (land that lies between a river and its levees, pronounced batch-er) seems a prime site to start reforestation efforts.
The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities (the Endowment) commissioned the study, and co-funded it with Forest Service State and Private Forestry. "This study provides further evidence of the key role forests play in flood control and in reducing sediment flow from agricultural lands into our watersheds," notes Carlton Owen, president and CEO of the Endowment. "The new forest areas would also provide regional economic and environmental benefits by not only improving water quality but also wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities."

I could only ever manage to use this to remove makeup. Then I discovered oil cleansers (and just straight up facial oils) which simplified my routine and allowed me to remove eye makeup without scraping goop out of my eyelashes. I consider the Pond's line one for older ladies who grew up with this stuff. This is just mineral oil suspended in a base with fragrance. Although it is cheap, it is not particularly beneficial for skin and there are many oils on the market today that are excellent for your skin that remove makeup without clogging pores or causing irritation. I think this product belongs in the past.

i rub a pea size amount on a dry face of makeup. it slips your makeup around so i dot it on my eyes, massage my face and save my eyes for last. I then use a facial wipe or a wet washcloth to take it off. this does a great job at removing makeup but definitely go in with a cleanser or scrub afterwards.

I bought this because it was the only makeup removing product that was left on the shelves at Walmart after the holiday had basically wiped out the whole store in my rural area. I really bought it out of desperation because the makeup removed I used to use was not there, nor was any product that I recognized.
I have loved this cream since the first night that I tried it. I love the texture - it feels so soft and silky on my skin. That's how it makes my skin feel after I use it, as well. As soon as I wipe it off, my skin feels clean and fresh. I quite honestly don't feel the need to do anything else to it afterward. I don't really notice the smell, but I can see how it might be mildly offensive to someone who is particularly sensitive.
Something that I really like about it is how nicely it comes out of my eyebrows and eyelashes. It feels a bit sticky when it goes on for the first time, probably because I wasn't used to a cream cleanser and I wasn't quite sure how it was going to come off, but it comes off really easily. I was shocked how much makeup came off on the cloth the first time I used it. I have never had any other remover take that much off.
The first morning I woke up, I noticed right away that my face still felt clean and that my skin looked better already. I sometimes forget to clean my makeup off and if I start having negative effects from my carelessness and I use this, it is a quick fix to my problems as soon as I use it again. (I think the most I didn't use it was three nights because I was away unexpectedly and it was left at home.)
During the day, my skin feels amazing under my makeup. I can feel how smooth it is and see a difference in my colouring. I have more success in the morning putting on my foundation because the surface of my skin is more even and everything glides on like it is supposed to. And because my makeup is so nice going on, I'm actually using less makeup, saving me money, but also reducing the acne, then the makeup, then the acne . . . you get it.
My routine with it is put a whole ton on to my face and smear it around, because it lasts forever apparently. I am very, very generous with how much I put on and the tub looks like it is still completely full after over a month of using it. I run a regular washcloth under warm water and ring it out. Then I just wipe off my face and call it a night. In the morning I use a salicylic acid face wash and moisturizer routine. It does not appear to interact negatively with it. In fact, I think it makes it more effective because my face is already so clean from the night before.
The only thing I don't like, and this is by far the most minor thing I have every complained about, is that I do not like the shape of the tub. It is attractive, but i can only see into the future when I am trying to get my fingers up into the sides. But because it is so inexpensive, especially for how long it will apparently last, I am not even worried if I don't get it all out. I only include this here because I rarely give anything 100% (joke, because I'm a teacher).
I will buy this again. I will use this for the rest of my life (and I'm only 25!). This is true love (don't tell my husband).

I love this and can't believe I haven't tried it sooner. Well, I know why I haven't because now that I'm in my 30's, my skin is not only oily, it is now acne prone. Hello, welcome to adult hormonal acne. My problem areas are my chin and jaw line. I get big cystic blemishes there. I had flawless skin as a teen, nothing could upset my skin. Now, the wind can blow too hard and my face turns beet red with bumps. As I get older, I'm noticing that chemicals in skincare and the enviornment are now making my skin on the sensitive side. Because I've always had oily skin, the thought of putting a cold cream on my face was insane. Wax and mineral oil? To wash my makeup off? Are you crazy? But, I'm getting frustrated by the lack of performance in other products so I picked this old cult favorite out of desperation. My normal skincare routine was this: 1. remove makeup with 2 makeup wipes. 2. apply a salicylic acid face wash w/ Clarisonic brush and cleanse skin. 3. Tone skin. 4. apply a serum. 5. moisturize skin (even though I have oily skin, I'm also blessed with dry flakes around my chin area. Again, this is a new skin problem for me). Last night, I tried a new simple approach to my pm routine. I got rid of a few steps. 1. apply a thin layer of Ponds Cold Cream directly to my face full of makeup. I let it sit on for about 2 minutes. 2. dampened a papertowel with warm water and wiped it all off. 3. tone skin 4. moisturize skin. Actually, I really didn't need to moisturize my whole face, only my dry chin because after wiping off the cream, there is a moist residue left behind that feels nice but doesn't make me appear oily. Best of all, all traces of makeup were gone! gone! gone! No wait, best of all is this. I was so afraid to wake up with about 20,000 new blemishes, clogged pores and what not. But, when I got up and out of habit, grabbed my blemish concealer to dot my spots. When I looked up in the mirror w/ my concealer in hand, I was thinking Damn, my skin actually cleared up! The only thing I had to cover up was an old acne scar on my chin. Sooooo, now I don't need that $200 Clarisonic thingy to cleanse my makeup off. Hmmm, I wish I discovered this $6.99 miracle cream 2 years ago before I purchased the Clarisonic. The only con I can find with this product is the smell. I wish it was unscented.
Update: I'm finally done with my first tub and I'm buying another to replace it. I love this product now just as much as the first time using it. This one product has saved my skin. Forever will be a tub on Ponds near my bathroom sink!

I generally don't write reviews for anything but I'm so grateful for this cream that I feel it is important to share my story. I suffered from cystic acne for a large portion of my teenage years and early 20s. I have tried most cleansers in Shoppers Drug Mart from high end brands to low end just searching for a solution. I started using Ponds Deep Cleanser cream about 2 years ago and my skin is the best it's ever been. I rarely break out now and when I do it's 1 or 2 pimples max around my period and I no longer need to use concealer and foundation.
When I first started using it my skin was great, 1 week later I started breaking out on my chin but I kept using it and after 2 more weeks my skin had adjusted perfectly. I believe a big part of the noticeable difference in my skin is due to the use of microfiber cloths in combinations with Ponds cold cream. I bought them cheap from the auto / car section of Canadian Tire and I find they really help unclog my pores.
My routine is to spread the ponds cream across my face and rub it in for 30 seconds. Following that I put my microfiber cloth under warm water and start removing the cream from my face. I rub sections of the microfiber cloth on my face in circles to remove it. I also make sure to never use the same part of the cloth twice as I feel you're just spreading bacteria around on your face if you do that. This usually means i'll use both sides of the cloth so I can capture my whole face. After that I rinse my face with cold water, pat dry and I'm ready to go to bed. Simple but effective. I know this is a long review but I sincerely hope this helps someone like it helped me.

Removes all makeup including waterproof mascara and eyeliner easily.
My skin feels clean
My skin is hydrated
Maybe not good for people with oily skin as it can be
I use this produce according to the directions. I rub a good amount of it all over my face. I make sure to gently scrub my eyelids and lashes in a circular motion for 30 seconds. Then i take a washcloth, run it under warm water, ring it out, then wipe my face. Everything is gone! After that I continue with my skincare routine.
I have tried other makeup removing wipes and they fail to get ride of my eyeliner and mascara completely. This works amazing and last much longer is cheaper.

Update, five months later:
Still using Ponds Cold Cream without fail. I've been using it every day for about five months now and I can say with certainty that I haven't broken out once. Not even once. I've finished one jar and now am 1/6th done my second jar, I'd say.
Going to use Pond's for life. No doubt about it.
A product that I will likely use for the rest of my life - and I don't say that lightly. I have oily skin but luckily I stopped paying attention to skin-care mantras like "OIL-BASED PRODUCTS IS BAD FOR OILY SKIN" a few years ago, so I was able to use this without hesitation.
For the first two weeks, I experienced small, minor break-outs - probably my skin getting used to the new foreign formula I lathered onto my face. It's been a month since then, however, and my skin is feeling (and looking) better than ever. No break-outs whatsoever.
Here is my routine: before I go to sleep, I lather a generous portion of the cream over my face then proceed to gently massage the eye area, making sure my eyelashes are also coated. Fast forward five minutes, I wipe off everything with a slightly damp kleenex and all of my make-up is removed (even my pesky mascara) and my skin feels so very soft and smooth.
I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Pond from older women. I would still buy it even if it were double the price, but I'm sure glad it's ridiculously cheap!

Love this stuff! I have acne prone combo skin, that reacts to almost all cleansers by breaking out or by instantly drying out. I use Ponds and otherwise use Micellar water. Anything else requiring rinsing causes my skin to become really dry, tight and itchy. This cold cream does NOT break me out and I'm extremely acne prone. I use on dry skin and either rinse in the shower or using a warm washcloth. Take the time to give yourself a nice face massage with it and you'll get nice results. I also recommend getting some baby wash clothes for washing this off, provides perfect exfoliation and removes every last trace of makeup. I use the cloth dry to remove the cream first, then rinse the cloth and continue wiping off with the damp cloth.
Edit: After deciding to try some fancier (aka more expensive products) and breaking out, I will never stray from this again!

I have acne prone skin that until recently used to be oily as well. I suppose I am in transition or something because how can skin be oily and dry at the same time and still break out like crazy? I use Retin A Micro in the winter months (it causes photosensitivity and I have to wear heavy sunscreen which makes me break out even more, so I skip it in the summer months) that makes me flake and peel, so in desperation, I grabbed this cold cream. I was totally expecting it to make me break out, clog up my already congested skin, feel greasy, SOMETHING!! But it didn't. I've been using this religiously twice a day for the past two months and my breakouts are actually healing up. I tend to get the closed comedone type of acne and sometimes big cystic spots. It has not clogged my pores one bit. I love this stuff. It smells nice as well.
My routine: PM: if wearing makeup, I will get about a teaspoon sized amount and rub into my face and eye area and let it set while I brush my teeth or shower. I then use a very warm washcloth and wipe it off. I will then (in the evening) use a gentle face wash to get any leftover makeup off and go back in with the Ponds for a moisturizer. I allow that to absorb a bit then apply my Retin A Micro. If not wearing makeup, I will skip the face wash.
AM routine: Apply Ponds, wipe off with warm washcloth and use a Stridex pad on my problem areas. reapply Ponds to my dry areas.
Pro: cheap, nice scent, moisturizing, non greasy on skin, makes skin feel soft, easily removes makeup (even heavy foundation and mascara)
Cons: the tub is a no go for germaphobes. I am not one and my hands are clean before I dip into it, bit I can see how it would bother some. The opening is narrow so it is difficult to get to the product once you get toward the bottom of the jar, but I just use a clean spoon to scoop some out.
EDIT: It has now been a month since I began using the Ponds. After a two week period, I had a bunch of zits come to the surface, so I had a decent breakout. The came to a head quickly and healed quickly. My closed comedies are easier to remove and are lessening in number. I stuck with the Ponds and now my skin looks so lovely. I'm still getting some purging but it is so much better than before. My skin doesn't feel dry, itchy and isn't flaky as it usually is in winter. I really love this stuff.
