text: Former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov scored after 52 minutes to give Fulham a rare victory at White Hart Lane [AFP]Frank Lampard scored his 200th Chelsea goal as his side beat West Ham United 2-0 on Sunday to snatch third place in the English Premier League from faltering London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham's 1-0 loss at home to Fulham had opened the door for Chelsea and they took full advantage by recording a victory that lifted them to within four points of second-place Manchester City. Lampard broke the deadlock against his former club West Ham in the 19th minute at Stamford Bridge, springing to head Eden Hazard's dinked cross into the top-right corner. The England midfielder, 34, now stands only two goals behind Bobby Tambling in the list of Chelsea's all-time top goal-scorers. Hazard added a delightful second goal five minutes into the second half, exchanging passes with Juan Mata on the right and drifting past Winston Reid before drilling a left-foot shot into the bottom-right corner. Spurs setback Fulham dealt Spurs' challenge for a European Champions League place another setback by condemning Andre Villas-Boas' side to a second consecutive Premier League defeat. Having eliminated Inter Milan from the Europa League on Thursday, Spurs were bidding to tighten their grip on third place in the table and Gareth Bale had an early header cleared off the line by Sascha Riether. However, the hosts lost Michael Dawson to injury at half-time and then saw former striker Dimitar Berbatov claim the game's only goal in the 52nd minute when he converted Riether's low right-wing cross. Spurs' best chance fell to Jermain Defoe in the dying stages, but his effort from Bale's cut-back met its match in a superb reflex save from Mark Schwarzer. Coming in the wake of last weekend's 3-2 loss at Liverpool, Spurs' defeat left them a point below Chelsea and four points above fifth-place north London rivals Arsenal, both of whom have a game in hand. Wigan win At the other end of the table, Arouna Kone struck in the final minute to give Wigan Athletic a 2-1 win at home to Newcastle United that injected fresh momentum into their quest to escape relegation. Jean Beausejour's first Wigan goal put Roberto Martinez's men ahead in the 19th minute, but Italian full-back Davide Santon drilled home an equaliser in the 72nd minute. Then, in the 90th minute, Ivorian striker Kone lashed the ball into the roof of the net following a goalmouth scramble to leave Wigan three points from safety with a game in hand on fourth-bottom Aston Villa. The game had threatened to be overshadowed by a horrendous, knee-high challenge from Wigan midfielder Callum McManaman on visiting defender Massadio Haidara in the first half. McManaman escaped punishment for the foul, but Haidara had to be stretchered off and Newcastle coach John Carver was sent to the stands after losing his temper at the half-time whistle. Earlier, relegation-threatened Sunderland failed to capitalise on the dismissal of Norwich City goalkeeper Mark Bunn as they were held to a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light. After Wes Hoolahan headed Norwich in front in the 26th minute, the visitors lost Bunn to a straight red card when he handled the ball outside his area. Craig Gardner levelled for Sunderland with a 40th-minute penalty after a handball by Sebastien Bassong, but Sunderland could find no way past the visitors' 10 men in the second half.

Throughout the diabolical devastation of slavery to the turbulent tragedies and injustices endured during the Jim Crow era and the civil rights movement, many southern evangelical preachers were on the wrong side of the issues. In 1845, during a gathering of White Southern Baptist ministers in Augusta Ga., there was a rippling internal controversy over whether slave owners could be missionaries in foreign countries while owning slaves. Thus on the heels of being sharply divided over the issue of slavery, the Southern Baptist Convention was formed, breaking away from the American Baptist Home Mission Society.
As this southern contingency of evangelical preachers said no to giving up their slaves, they also said no to the human rights of African Americans. It was the beginning of a long pattern of lining up on the wrong side of the issues when it came to standing up for liberty and justice for all. Revisiting this bleak chapter of American history is critical to understanding the religious right in 2012. To understand the history of the southern evangelical movement and its evolution, it is helpful to understand how modern day southern evangelicals have developed an alliance with a right-wing agenda that continues to -- with vigor -- divide, devastate and destroy human and civil rights.
Let us fast forward to North Carolinians' recently held voting for the state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages and civil unions. It is no coincidence that staunch White southern evangelicals, the National Organization for Marriage (who designed a secret strategic plan in 2010 to drive a wedge between gays and Blacks), and the right wing of the Republican Party, have aligned themselves for political gain on this issue though they want you to believe it is purely a theological stance consistent with Biblical beliefs.
The goal is to weaken and fragment the African-American voting block for President Obama in November while courting much needed Hispanic voters for southern evangelical support for Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
To put this in context, ask yourself: What side of civil rights did the southern evangelical preacher or right wing political base stand when it came to issues such as equal protection under the law, desegregation, women's rights and voting rights? What side did the Reverend Billy and Franklin Grahams of the worlds stand during the civil rights movement?
For generations, politics and religion have made for strange bedfellows, all the more reason for Black people in particular to not be used as a political tool in the vote for a ban on gay marriage in North Carolina or get caught up in the middle of an age-old divisive tactic and strategies aimed at promoting a right wing, money and power-driven agenda and, more aggressively, the conspiracy against the re-election of President Obama.
While I personally do not perform same-sex marriages because of my Baptist faith tradition, I will not be guilty of being intolerant. I was supportive of the president before his decision to support same-sex marriage and I am still supportive of him. President Obama gave his personal reasons for adopting his position and made it very clear that those who for religious reasons did not agree with him, he still had respect for their faith traditions. The Bible says in the words of Jesus, "We must be wise as serpents and humble as doves." Therefore, African Americans should still support this president because our main goal is to make sure that he is re-elected.
Let's look at how people on the other side behave. Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, said during the Republican primary that Mormonism is a "cult" and that Romney is not a Christian. However, Jeffress has since come out boldly endorsing Romney for president. Here's a minister that in one instance can withhold support from a candidate because of his religious convictions yet closes rank behind that same man after he was selected to oppose America's first Black president.
In 1960, some Blacks, including preachers, did not support John F. Kennedy for president because he was Catholic. But Kennedy was elected and the nation did not collapse. We must go beyond our faith traditions and support President Obama so that our economy will be improved, quality brought to our schools, safety brought to our communities and we all experience peace in the world.
America is a democracy and not a theocracy. And in our democracy, all law abiding citizens are entitled to equal protection under the law. We must recognize the hypocrisy of denying the rights of the LGBT community as a political strategy in hopes of regaining the White House.
To southern evangelical preachers in particular, from the half-hearted apologies for slavery to the countless insults a hurled at President Obama, your attempts to divide and conquer the Black and the gay communities for political posturing and positioning will not go unchecked.
Rev. Dr. Amos C. Brown, Chairman of the Social Justice Commission of the National Baptist Convention, USA Inc., is Senior Pastor of- Third Baptist Church in San Francisco.

It was 2009, and every time Adam St. Pierre joined the Boulder Trail Runners for a group run it felt like a race. An arms race, actually. A barefoot arms race.
"This was right after 'Born to Run,' and it was like an arms race to see who could wear the most minimal shoe," says St. Pierre, a gait-analysis biomechanist, exercise physiologist and coach at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine. "Someone would show up in racing flats one day, then someone would say 'I'm wearing minimalist shoes,' then someone would be completely barefoot."
"Born to Run" is Christopher McDougall's runaway 2009 bestseller about ultra-running, which cited evolutionary biology and the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico in making a case that humanity is built for distance running -- and doing it barefoot. The book argues that running sans shoes with heavy, padded heels discourages over-striding and heel striking, thereby encouraging a more natural gait.
The Vibram Five Fingers, the most noticeable -- with individual pockets for each toe, they look vaguely amphibian -- and one of the earliest "minimalist" shoes, stripped running shoes down to a tough, thin rubber sole to protect from sharp objects. No support. No cushioning. Strange looking as they were, they took off.
Three years later, the Five Fingers fad seems to be tailing off and the barefoot/minimalist trend has matured, leaving what many say is a permanent, and positive, mark on the running-shoe industry. Most notably, shoe manufacturers seem to have taken note that lower heel-toe height differentials -- some call it the "heel delta" -- may encourage a more natural gait, in which runners' feet land beneath their hips rather than out in front of their center of gravity.
But "(l)earning how to run and walk barefoot has been THE single thing that has transformed my body," says Josh Gordon, a Boulder physicist, who's been running barefoot since 2010. He no longer experiences the back and hip pain that used to interfere with his running. "I finally feel, well ... athletic."
Many others, however, have experienced problems running barefoot or minimalist, and some medical practitioners say they've seen an uptick in problems caused by the trend.
Amy Thoe, who lives in Denver and sometimes runs with the Boulder trail group, "did barefoot for awhile and (has) since moved on to (Boulder-based) Newton shoes which have a lower heel and additional padding for the balls of the feet. I found the transition to barefoot to be incredibly slow and painful and the payoff quite small."
Ditto for John Beckwith of Boulder, whose two ventures into barefoot resulted in a broken second metarsal. But even he credits minimalist running with teaching him a different stride that allows him to run more miles per week.
"I can run practically any distance without getting achy, sore, or any of the other irritating injuries that used to crop up," he says.
Despite the trend, going barefoot/minimalist isn't for everyone. Foot physiology, running patterns and other factors should be considered before making a switch.
"It's like a carbon-fiber mountain bike frame, which are certainly advantageous from a performance standpoint," says sports chiropractor Jeremy Rodgers of Louisville. "But they are not for the entry-level rider who doesn't yet have outstanding riding mechanics and still rides with more guts than grace. Minimalist shoes are likewise not for the entry-level runner."
"It's great for a lot of different things, to strengthen your feet and cross-training," says Johnny Halberstadt, co-owner of the Boulder Running Company, which recently narrowed its selection of the Vibram shoes. "But it's a quaint notion that 'Hey, there has been a ripoff by the shoe companies, shoes have been terrible, and all you've got to do now is take off your shoes and you'll be much better off as a runner.'"
In fact, Vibram was sued in March for claiming that its shoes provide "health benefits" that accrue to neither true barefoot running nor "traditional running shoes" with more cushioning stability features. The suit has yet to be resolved.
As Halberstadt's business partner and former world-champion marathoner Mark Plaatjes predicted in 2009, many runners who ran with the minimalist trend have wound up with injuries: "The majority of people can't do this," he said at the time.
"Some people switched cold turkey (from more traditional shoes) and started having a lot of calf and Achilles problems," St. Pierre says, noting that he and his colleagues also have recommended flatter shoes to correct other problems in their clients.
But make no mistake, there is a dedicated community of barefoot/minimal runners -- including those who genuinely use no shoes -- out there who swear by their gear.
Some true barefooters -- some of whom even run unshod in winter -- argue that retailers and shoe companies have a vested interest in selling shoes, so it's no wonder they aren't happy with the trend.
"The barefoot running movement (true barefoot, not in a glove) hasn't gone away, nor have many converts" according to Michael Sandler, co-founder of the Boulder Barefoot Running Club. "New members keep joining."
Many therapists say problems aren't caused by the shoes (or lack of them), but lack of technique needed to run barefoot. And not everybody should be running barefoot or in minimalist shoes, Rogers says. He notes says the lower "delta" has reduced such problems as patellar tendonitis, but that the increased flexibility has caused a relatively small increase in "tension injuries" to the Achilles and plantar fasciitis on the bottom of the foot.
"In general, I support the concept of minimalist shoes for runners who take the time to implement them on a conservative timeline and learn outstanding running mechanics, otherwise known as active motion control methods," he says.
The science, so far, indicates that placement is more important than whether a runner is a heel striker or mid-foot or forefoot striker, at least in terms of energy expended by runners. Running in very lightweight shoes surpasses running barefoot or even minimalist, according to research by Rodger Kram of the Locomotion Laboratory of the University of Colorado, Boulder, according to an Oct. 15 blog post in The New York Times. And, the research found, some cushioning -- 10 millimeters, to be exact -- actually improves performance.
"Those who extol (barefoot and minimalist running) overlook three studies showing it is not more efficient," Kram told the Times. "Those studies showed striking midfoot or forefoot was no better and no worse than heel striking."
And, Halberstadt notes, two of the world's three top marathon runners, including Haile Gebreselassie race in the Adidas Adizero Adios, a relatively light, but cushioned "racing flat." He's also a heel striker who trains in heavier shoes, Halberstadt says.
"If you go out to the big marathons I don't think you'll see more than a small percentage of people" running barefoot or in minimalist shoes, he says. "The elephant in the room is performance. If they led to super fast times you'd see all the top runners in barefoot or super minimalist shoes."
