GLENDALE — The following are odds and ends from the local sports scene.
The 43rd installment of the Babe Herman Tournament will begin Saturday simultaneously at Stengel Field and Oak Park High.
Ten high school baseball teams, highlighted locally by host Crescenta Valley, will compete in the event, which is presented by the West Glendale Gateway Kiwanis Club and the Crescenta Valley Baseball Program. Home games will be played at Stengel, Oak Park, Pasadena High, Covina High and Santa Monica High.
The tournament, named after former Major League Baseball player and Glendale resident Babe Herman, will consist of two divisions. Five teams will participate in the National Division and five will compete in the American Division. The tournament will conclude with the championship game beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Stengel Field, running Saturday, Monday and Tuesday previously.
Crescenta Valley, North Torrance, Oak Park, Santa Monica and South Torrance will be in the National Division. The American Division will feature Covina, El Segundo, Pasadena, South Pasadena and West Torrance.
Saturday's opening-day games will consist of three games at Stengel Field — including Crescenta Valley, ranked No. 9 in the latest CIF Southern Section Division II poll, against Santa Monica at 7 p.m. — and one each at Oak Park and Pasadena.
The tournament will take a break Sunday before resuming Monday.
Crescenta Valley will also host Oak Part at 7 p.m. on Monday and North Torrance at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
The Falcons have won the event a record seven times, posting victories in 1964, 1977, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003 and 2005.
After promotions to the big club in each of the last two seasons, Trevor Bell will still begin the 2011 season with the triple-A Salt Lake Bees.
Despite Joel Piniero beginning the season on the disabled list and subpar outings by Scott Kazmir (6.65 ERA this spring through 21 2/3 innings; 5.94 ERA last season), Bell did not crack the starting rotation for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and was optioned to Salt Lake on Tuesday, when the team officially announced its Opening Day roster.
Bell, a former standout at Crescenta Valley High and 2005 first-round draft pick by the Angels, went 2-5 last season with a 4.72 earned-run average, starting seven games and appearing in 25 games. He struck out 45 in 61 innings with 21 walks.
Bell pitched his best baseball as a major leaguer over the end of 2010, allowing two earned runs in each of his final three starts of the season before being sidelined with an injury. He also struck out 13 and walked just four.
Bell struggled this spring, however, tallying a 9.00 ERA. He was afforded just three appearances and five innings, however.
Glendale native Brandon McCarthy, after a spending an unfulfilled final season with the Texas Rangers franchise at the minor league level, got some pleasant news on Saturday afternoon.
In his first season with the Oakland Athletics, McCarthy was named the No. 5 starter in the A's rotation by Manager Bob Geren.
"I'm happy," McCarthy said. "It's a great opportunity. I'm just excited to be a part of those four guys that they already have running out there. It's a pretty solid rotation I'm joining, and it's exciting to know I have to do my part to hold up my end of the bargain."
McCarthy surprised some by beating out the younger Tyson Ross along with Bobby Cramer.
The 6-foot-7 27 year old turned in a solid spring training with a 1-1 mark and a 4.50 ERA through six appearances — three starts. Over 26 innings, he turned in a stellar 20 strikeouts to one walk.
McCarthy's debut is likely to come on Wednesday at Toronto.

I am so honored to have been asked by Prancing Leopard Organics to review and give some feedback regarding some of their GORGEOUS clothes!
I received a delectable package containing some of the most beautiful yoga/dance/movement clothes that I have ever seen, and I'm getting ready to try them out 🙂
I shot the above video on the day that I received the clothes.
I took a pictures of the box of clothes ( a sort of unboxing) and then I proceeded to turn on my camera and just started filming me taking the clothes out of the box. I have never worn, nor seen Prancing Leopard clothes before and I had not taken the clothes out of the box prior to making the video. My reactions are *truly* my first impressions of the clothing, based upon what I touched and observed.
The video is pretty long…9 min and 41 seconds! It would be so great to get your feedback 😀
Right after I finished the video, I did go ahead and tried on all the clothes….
THEY ARE THE YUMMIEST AND SOOO LUXURIOUS! They fit just right…LOVE ♥♥♥ LOVE!!!
I'll be posting more specific insights to each piece of clothing, focusing on efficiency, effectiveness, value and aesthetics 🙂 Plus, I'll give you guys more details about Prancing Leopard Organics as a company and why I think they are so awesome regardless of their clothing. They truly are an extraordinary company.
I wish I could start right away with the reviews but I think it may take just a tad longer as Spring is still pretty chilly and the clothes are a tad light for mid 40s weather….so let's all pray for 70F weather!
If you have any questions or comments in advance regarding Prancing Leopard Organics, please let me know!

On March 6, 2013, John Kerry departed for Washington, ending his inaugural trip as Secretary of State to the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. His travel concluded in Abu Dhabi and Doha, where he met with senior government officials to discuss our continued close coordination on a broad range of issues.
In Doha, Secretary Kerry met with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. The two leaders discussed the ongoing crisis in Syria, Middle East peace, and Afghanistan. Following their meeting, Secretary Kerry said:
"I want to thank [Prime Minister Hamad] for the excellent partnership that we have, especially during this very challenging time of change in this part of the world. We intend to continue to work very, very closely with you in the days and months and years ahead. We had a great discussion, a frank discussion, about the critical issues that we're facing. And on Syria, Qatar and the United States have worked very hard to strengthen international sanctions against the Assad regime, and to help the opposition build the unity and the effectiveness that they need in order to try to change President Assad's calculation on the ground."
While in Qatar, Secretary Kerry also participated in a series of interviews, including with Martha Raddatz of ABC, Nicole Gaouette of Bloomberg, Margaret Brennan of CBS, Jill Dougherty of CNN, James Rosen of Fox News, Andrea Mitchell of NBC, and Michele Kelemen of NPR. Go to www.state.gov for transcripts of the interviews.
Throughout the trip, journalists, our embassy colleagues, and others -- including you, members of the public -- captured the Secretary's travel with updates on social media, some of which we spotlighted via Storify. You can view more photographs and content from the trip on state.gov, Facebook, and Flickr, and we encourage you stay tuned to DipNote, Twitter, and all of our social media platforms for the latest on Secretary Kerry's travels.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Richard Buangan,
I was reading the transcript of the press conference the other day and I include the following excerpts, wondering if I understood the comment correctly;
QUESTION: (Via interpreter).....Secondly, there was a press conference held lately in Tehran between – by the Walid al-Muallem, the Syrian Foreign Minister, where he called for pressure on Qatar and America.
PRIME MINISTER HAMAD: (Via interpreter)
....As for what Walid Muallem, the Syrian Foreign Secretary, has said in Tehran, I don't have any response to it except for one thing maybe. It reminds me of the kind of a friend who jokes with you, who says, "Mr. Walid is like a rug trader,†and I don't have any other answer to him but that. (Laughter.)
I take this to mean that the Syrian foreign Secretary was like a "rug trader" because he was sitting on a gaping hole in the carpet of his rhetoric?
And since the last entry on Dipnote having anything to do with North Korea was way back in 2010, I gotta ask one thing about Dennis Rodman's visit to the DPRK.
He goes, he hangs out with the young-un, has a blast, comes back...and all of a sudden I'm hearing on the news that North Korea wants to nuke us.
Excuse me, but what the heck did the "worm" say to piss them off?
I thought it was rather kind of the Sectretary to say regarding Rodman , "as a diplomat, he's still a great basketball player."
But this is getting old!
And lastly, at least there's one guy on the world stage telling Secretary Kerry basicly what I've been trying to get folks @ State to realize for a long long time here on Dipnote;
PRIME MINISTER HAMAD: (Via interpreter) As for the Syrian crisis, I think Mr. John Kerry has answered part of the question when he talked about arming the opposition. As you know, there is a change in the international position and the American position in this regard. They're talking about weapons. We hope that this happened sometime ago before, because this would have maybe lessened the death and destruction that took place in Syria. But now everybody has reached a conclusion and a conviction that Assad has chosen his own way of ending this crisis. This is something that – which cannot be accepted by the international community when he rains Scud missiles on cities and towns in a manner reminiscent of World War II.
After the Rome meeting, I expressed optimism that the international community has started or maybe more than just started. It's actually working in a way which we think will achieve victory for the Syrian people in a much quicker way, and we will minimize the time and the losses, because with each day that passes, more people are getting killed. We think this problem could have been solved much quicker, but Bashar al-Assad chose his own particular solution as we said.
As for the Geneva declaration, I was part of the committee which formulated that declaration, and the question was clear. We talked about authority should be transferred into a government with full powers to run the country and army. But after the meeting, I think it's Article 9 in the Geneva declaration, there was differences over how to interpret that and especially on the power transfer question in particular. The understanding was that we talked about a transition period and any discussion will need to be confined to a certain timeline, because the Syrian regime has a way with any initiative; they never say no, but they take time, then they – to accept it, then they take time to interpret it, then time to deal with it, then to turn it into a failure.
And we remember initiative after initiative, this is a tactic to prolong the crisis until another crisis happens somewhere else, which will lessen the pressure on them or some change will happen or victory achieved on the ground. I'm sure none of the three things will happen for simple reason, because it's not our demands and it's not us who are fighting. These are the demands of the Syrian people, maybe the vast majority of the Syrian people.
So when (if we don't want to send weapons), do we simply eliminate Assad's capability to make war on the Syrian people, and make him homeless in the process?
And then send the bill for our cost expenditures to Russia and Iran to turn Assad's weapons into scrap, along with all the cost in humanitarian aid those weapons have neccesitated our outlay ongoing?
I think it's time to take a very serious kinetic approach to this if folks are serious about saving lives and stoppping the slaughter.
Hopwe you'll pass these thoughts onward and upward.

Just realized now, that our families will for ever share this anniversary, in more ways than one. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I think of Emily often, and wonder how you are all doing.
Take care of yourselves, and God bless you.

I heard you on Todd Friel's radio show (Wretched Radio) 2 years ago. That was three years after our son, Colson, was killed in a tornado at the age of 14.
Some of the things you said - which Todd related and talked about afterwards, really had a profound effect on me. Thank you for your faithfulness and openness.
Todd made the comment, "God killed your daughter." Not merely allowing it - but He killed her.
In my mind, for the first time, I said, "God killed Colson." Then it got deep into my soul and my heart.
As I had agreed with my Christian friends and the Baptist preacher - "God allowed that tornado."
But this word, "allowed" seemed to leave room for the idea that God was a little surprised when the tornado brewed up. BUT God sort of went along with it's due course.
How sad is the counsel that makes our sovereign and loving God seem to be merely allowing stuff to happen.
What a beautiful thing it is to know that He planned our children's lives (and deaths) before creation.
The past two years have been awesome as God has revealed His amazing sovereignty to me (and interestingly many of my friends similtaneously). The deeper I see this teaching and correct theology, it effects my heart and 24 hour thinking.
I wanted you to know that it was that conversation you had with Todd that helped crack the shell around my heart - to see and comprehend this - and the many beautiful facets of reformed theology.
Thank You Brother,
Mike Owens (in North Texas)
PS - We have a website about Colson, the tornado, and some of his art. (Some of the website still has vestiges of my former "decisional regeneration" concepts and a shortage of my love for God's Sovereignty - - - This will be corrected soon.) ColsonOwens.com
- October 03, 2011 6:58 PM
hallelujah brother mike..preach it...its as if God himself were in that tornado taking your son from you...He knows what is best...sorry the lords prayer doesnt quite get it right by asking us to pray that gods will would be done on earth...because we all know there is no other will..his will is always done on earth...

The Dispatch module : does all the IO, and offers an unified interface to both the interpreter and the compiler.
Also communicates with GCC in order to compile the C code, and then transmits the results of the execution of that C code. This functionnality is mostly used to check automatically the equivalence between the interpreter and the compiler. The Dispatch module only parses the command-line arguments before calling that module.

Libya's blocking of the internet won't affect Bit.ly and other .ly domains, says Bit.ly CEO John Borthwick on Quora.
Bit.ly and countless other startups have chosen the cute top-level domain .ly for their startups. The only problem is that .ly is Libya's top-level domain. Libya happens to be ruled by a crazy dictator, and right now is experiencing protests that are making it shut down the internet. Doesn't that mean Bit.ly is in trouble?
While .ly belongs to Libya, of the five "root servers" that make the domain work only two are in Libya, and all five need to be shut down for .ly URLs to stop working. Two servers are in the US and one is in the Netherlands.
While the protests and the internet shutdown might not affect Bit.ly, it's still a huge strategic risk to rely on Libya, of all places, for internet domains. Libya's Muammar Ghaddafi isn't just a dictator, he's a notoriously mentally unstable and unpredictable dictator, and Libya has already shut down one domain, vb.ly, over links to erotic content.

'Actualisation' and 're-enactment': Two categories in understanding the Old Testament
Hans AusloosI, II
IF.R.S.-FNRS and Université catholique de Louvain, Faculté de Théologie, Belgium
IIDepartment Old Testament, University of the Free State, South Africa
Exegesis has been an integral part of Professor Jurie le Roux's life. Throughout his scholarly career, he has continually worked to realise the 'actualisation' and 're-enactment' of Old Testament stories and ideas. As a modest tribute to Professor le Roux, this contribution seeks to demonstrate that both concepts also play a central role within the process of composing Old and New Testament texts. This will be illustrated with reflections on how Old and New Testament texts speak about the Sabbath. Firstly, the Sabbath commandment in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy will be dealt with. Secondly, a brief survey will present how the Sabbath commandment has been understood during the Second Temple period. Finally, it will be argued that the New Testament authors sought to forge a link with the original tenor of the Sabbath commandment by presenting Jesus as the one who 'actualises' and 're-enacts' the Sabbath commandment that often became rigid over time.
Research into the origins and composition of the Pentateuch occupies an important place in the scholarly career of Professor Jurie le Roux, as is evident from his many years of inspiring and passionate dedication to the ProPent seminar (Projek vir Pentateugstudies/Project for Pentateuchal Studies) (Le Roux 2005:1-21). Le Roux has never shied away from the path of the historical-critical method (Le Roux 1993) - one of only a few in the recent history of South African biblical scholarship. Quite on the contrary, he has continually defended historical-critical biblical exegesis. In his overview of Old Testament studies at the University of Pretoria's theological faculty, he describes the background behind his enthusiasm in the following way:
To be able to narrate the Bible or to make it actual and relevant for our times, we must first of all feel our way into the life experiences of Israel, relive their past experiences, re-enact that past in our mind and, especially, re-tell that story (like Israel) in our words. Thus, the actualisation of the Old Testament for the present day depends on the exegete's competence to immerse him-/herself in the text and relive Israel's past. (Le Roux 2009:6)
With the term 'actualisation,' which he uses against the background of a 21st century understanding of the Bible, Le Roux names a concept that is central to an adequate comprehension of Old and New Testament literature. First of all, biblical texts can only be understood correctly if one has an eye for their 'actual' meaning or function. In other words, one must take into account the meaning they had for the intended readers. Furthermore, the concept of 'actualisation' played an undeniable role in the process of the formation of the biblical texts. Indeed, historical-critical biblical scholarship has demonstrated that countless Old and New Testament texts came about precisely through the 'actualisation' of older texts and concepts (Ausloos 2000:103-129).
In this contribution, I would like to demonstrate how this process of 'actualisation' determined the formation of biblical literature, basing my arguments on reflections on how Old and New Testament texts speak about the Sabbath. It will furthermore be made evident that the concept of 're-enactment' - the other term Le Roux uses - played a significant role in the manner in which the biblical authors spoke of the Sabbath. Together with Le Roux, I am convinced that an appreciation of the importance of these concepts of 'actualisation' and 're-enactment' could encourage today's Bible readers to continuously actualise and reinterpret biblical traditions in the light of changing circumstances. Although some of these reflections have previously been published in French (Ausloos 2011:27-43), I hope that by revisiting them, I could honour Professor Jurie Le Roux.
The Sabbath commandment as found in the decalogues of Exodus and Deuteronomy
The recognition that the Bible contains numerous contradictions between its many texts is undoubtedly one of the greatest stumbling blocks for biblical fundamentalists. Whenever the Bible present two versions of a command, both of which are said to be words that yhwh spoke to Israel but nevertheless differ in content, the difficulties become almost insurmountable. This is the situation we also have with regard to the Old Testament prescriptions on keeping the Sabbath. This command is handed down in two deviating versions of the so-called Decalogue (Ex 20:2-17 and Dt 5:6-21). Only a historical-critical approach can offer a conclusive answer to this problem: because of the similarities it has to be concluded that both versions undoubtedly either depend on each other or are based on another version they are dependent on; despite the similarities, however, each one witnesses to a specific point of view of its authors that in turn relates to a specific situation in the ancient society.
Beginning with the very first word already, the version found in Deuteronomy differs from the one in Exodus. Deuteronomy 5:12 exhorts the listener to keep the day of rest. The Hebrew term used here [] is a stereotype in the book of Deuteronomy (Weinfeld 1972:332-341). The beginning of the Sabbath commandment in Exodus 20:8 uses a different verb, namely 'remember' []. It is worth noting that Exodus 20:8 in the Samaritan Pentateuch also uses the word 'keep' [] (Tal 1994:75). There is actually no de facto difference in meaning between the terms used in Exodus 20:8 and Deuteronomy 5:12 (Ausloos 2011:32). In other words, the Hebrew term for 'remember' [] implies the word for 'keep' and vice versa (cf. Ps 103:18). Despite this interchangeability of terms, the choice made in Deuteronomy 5:12 for 'keep' [] is not insignificant, as it is precisely this term that is used in Deuteronomy when the text refers to the following of a directive. On the other hand, the term 'remember' [] implies 'to do again (in worship)'. According to Exodus 20:8, therefore, to remember the Sabbath is also to 're-enact' yhwh's Sabbath. Just as yhwh rested on the seventh day, so must the Israelites honour the rest on the seventh day. The parallelism between verses 9-10 on the one hand and verse 11 on the other, as well as the motivating particle in verse 11, testify to this.
The term 'remember' [], which is used in Exodus 20:8, also appears in Deuteronomy 5:15. By appealing to history, this latter verse provides a religious foundation for the Sabbath commandment:
Remember that yhwh your God, because you were a slave in the land of Egypt, brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore yhwh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. (Dt 5:15)
Note that the Septuagint's translation of Deuteronomy 5:15 also reads 'keep' (MT: ), perhaps in order to harmonise with verse 12.
In Deuteronomy 5:15, we encounter the counterpart to Deuteronomy's frequently recurring verb 'to keep' [], namely the verb , meaning 'to command'. This term also appears quite regularly in Deuteronomy in the context of living up to yhwh's commands (Weinfeld 1972:356-357). By framing the Sabbath commandment in verse 12 and verse 15 with this verb, the author strongly emphasises that this is a divine commandment. The legislative nature of the command is thereby given a stronger accent than it has in Exodus 20:8-11. Moreover, Deuteronomy 5:15 points to the most significant difference between the Sabbath commandments in Exodus and Deuteronomy, namely the motivation.
According to Exodus 20:11, the keeping of the Sabbath is legitimated based on the creation account as given in the creation poem of Genesis 1:1-2:4: God worked for six days and rested on the seventh. Humans and animals must therefore do likewise. They must work for six days, but the seventh day must be a day of absolute rest. Although Genesis 2:1-3 does not call the Sabbath by its name, it still resonates through each verse:
On the seventh day God finished the work that he had done. He rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. (Ausloos & Lemmelijn 2010:137-138)
The Sabbath therefore plays an important role in the poem. The entire text has been composed with an eye towards the seventh day. By presenting the seventh day as the day on which God rests, the author roots the Sabbath as one of the creation 'acts'.
The idea that the creation narrative we have today in Genesis 1:1-2:4 was composed during and in the context of the Babylonian Exile (6th century BCE at the earliest) enjoys almost complete scholarly consensus. For the Israelites who were driven out of their land, the keeping of the Sabbath is equivalent to the observance of the temple cult in honour of yhwh. Having been 'shaped in God's image' (Gn 1:26-28), human beings are obliged to honour God as the creator. In exile, with both the temple and the temple cult gone, this religious duty can be observed in a most pleasant way, namely by following God's example of resting.
By referring to God's rest on the seventh day of the creation, the keeping of the Sabbath is characterised in Exodus (Ex 20:11; 31:16-17) as an imitation or re-enactment of God's rest. This is where the use of the aforementioned term 're-enactment' is relevant. The seventh day was a day of blessed completion and harmony for God.
Unlike the author of Exodus 20:11, the author of Deuteronomy appears to distance himself from this mythological tinted rationale. He does not associate the Sabbath with God's rest on the seventh day, but with a 'historical' event from the past. The Israelites must keep the Sabbath in order to remember that they were slaves in Egypt and God liberated them from bondage. This specific motivation of the deuteronomic author also reveals a shift of focus from the origins of the Sabbath to the purpose of it. Israel must keep the Sabbath, not because God rested on the seventh day, but in order that 'your male and female slave may rest as well as you' (Dt 5:14). In place of the mythological justification of Exodus 20:11, Deuteronomy bases its arguments on social grounds. In this manner, the author of Deuteronomy is explicit in stating that, in his opinion, the Sabbath is for humankind. And in order to give more weight to the commandment to observe the day of rest 'by keeping it holy', the author of Deuteronomy 5:12 provides a theological justification: one must keep the Sabbath rest 'as yhwh your God commanded you'. One can see that this prescription applies to all of Israel, without exception, from the fact that unlike Exodus 20:10, all categories are connected to each other with the conjunction 'and':
... you and your son and your daughter and your male slave and your female slave and your ox and your donkey and any of your livestock and the resident alien in your towns. (Dt 5:14)
All in all, the Sabbath commandment has an exclusively positive meaning in both versions of the Decalogue. The Sabbath is a sign of harmony and freedom. Whether the keeping of the Sabbath is motivated by a reference to God's rest on the seventh day or by a reference to the bondage in Israel makes no difference. One could say that 'received freedom' is the central concept of the Decalogue, and therefore also of the Sabbath (Wénin 1997:36). This can be seen in the words that introduce the Decalogue in both Exodus and Deuteronomy and point to God's liberating action: 'I am yhwh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery' (Ex 20:2//Dt 5:6).
The Sabbath in Judaism
With the fall of the Babylonian Empire in the 6th century BCE, the Jews were once again able to worship God in their reconstructed temple. Nevertheless, perhaps due to the specific situation of the Diaspora, they did not simply do away with the practice of keeping the Sabbath rest as a way of worshipping God (after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Judaism found itself once again facing the same challenge as the one they encountered after the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BCE). The pericope in Nehemiah 13:15-22, for example, recounts how Nehemiah ordered the gates of the rebuilt city to be closed during the Sabbath in order to prevent people from doing business on the Sabbath. This text also shows that the Sabbath began at sundown.
The Greek translation of the aforementioned creation narrative is one of the oldest texts to show the importance of the Sabbath for Second Temple Judaism. Based on the Hebrew text of Genesis 2:2, which says that God 'completed' his work on the seventh day, one could conclude that God in fact worked on the seventh day. For this reason, the Septuagint translator of the book of Genesis, who was himself of Jewish origin and lived in the 3rd century BCE, changed the text in the following way: 'And on the sixth day God finished his works that he had made' (Hiebert 2007:7).
One can also find various references to the Sabbath in the so-called deuterocanonical Old Testament literature. I will limit myself to a few simple examples. In order to portray Judith as a woman loyal to God and the Law, the author of the Book of Judith emphasises - at the end of the 2nd century BCE - that Judith keeps the Sabbath by not leaving her house (Jdt 10:2). This is clearly in conformity with the command given in Exodus 16:29. The books of Maccabees, which also date from the late 2nd century BCE, likewise testify to a great respect for the Sabbath despite the fact that the Greek overlords mocked and violated it (1 Macc 1:39.43). The episode in 1 Maccabees 2:29-47 brings the issue of obedience to the Sabbath prescription to the fore by recounting how Jews loyal to the Law allowed themselves to be killed rather than resist on the Sabbath. For Mattathias, the leader of the Jewish resistance, this clearly went too far. When he learned of the deaths of his compatriots, he declared: 'Let us fight against anyone who comes to attack us on the Sabbath day; let us not all die as our kindred died in their hiding places' (1 Macc 2:41). In 2 Maccabees 5:25-26, the Greek leader Apollonius waits 'until the holy Sabbath day; then, finding the Jews not at work, he ordered his troops to parade under arms'.
The fact that the Sabbath commandment in the Decalogue as found in Exodus and Deuteronomy gives no precise definition of what is to be considered 'work' has led to different definitions of 'work' by the various Jewish movements of the Second Temple period. It appears that the concept of actualisation once again had a role to play (Doering 1999).
Evidence that the Sabbath played an important role in Judaism in the last centuries before the Christian era can be seen in the Dead Sea manuscripts. The so-called Damascus Document (D) is especially noteworthy in this regard. This document was unknown until a copy (from the 10th century CE) was discovered in the geniza of the Ibn Ezra synagogue of ancient Cairo. When various different (and fragmentary) versions of the same document were found in the fourth, fifth and sixth caves of Qumran in the latter half of the 20th century, it began to appear that the Damascus Document was one of the important documents of the sectarian community of Qumran (Falk 1998; Kahl 1998; Doering 2000). All of these fragments dated from the period between the 1st century BCE and the 1st century CE. Against the background of the study of the Sabbath, the 10th and 11th columns (D x:14-xi:18) are especially significant. These columns list roughly 20 actions that are forbidden to do on the Sabbath. I will select a few: on the Sabbath, 'no-one should say a useless or stupid word' (D x:17-18) and 'he is not to speak about matters of work or of the task to be carried out on the following day' (D x:19). On the Sabbath 'no-one should go after an animal to pasture it outside his city, except for a thousand cubits' (D xi:6), and 'no-one should press his servant or his maidservant or his employee on the Sabbath' (D xi:12) (García Martínez 1994:41-42).
Although some of these rules undoubtedly do justice to the seriousness of the intentions with which the authors of Exodus and Deuteronomy imposed the Sabbath rest, other prescriptions testify to a remarkable degree of hardness:
No-one should help an animal give birth on the Sabbath day (...). And if he makes it fall into a well or a pit, he should not take it out on the Sabbath. (D xi:13-14 - compare with Mt 12:11)
When dealing with people in emergency situations, the Damascus Document is even harder:
And any living man who falls into a place of water or into a place (...), no-one should take him out with a ladder or a rope or a utensil. (D xi:16-17)
Nevertheless, it is notable that the document also adds: 'But everyone who goes astray, defiling the Sabbath and the festivals, shall not be executed' (D xii, 3-4) (Garcia Martinez 1994:42). The document thereby seems to go against the radical sanction given in Exodus 31:14-15 and 35:2: 'Whoever does any work on this day should be put to death' (see also Nm 15:32-36).
It should be noted that the Old Testament texts do not specify what should be understood as falling under the definition of 'Sabbath rest'. Nevertheless, in keeping with the stiff penalties championed by the biblical tradition, the Book of Jubilees also advocates the death penalty for transgressing the Sabbath rest (Jub 2:25, 27; 50:8, 13). In Jubilees 50:6-13, we encounter a list of Sabbath rules with strong similarities to the Damascus Document. Jubilees 2:31 also establishes that the Sabbath is a holy day that must be kept by Jews alone (VanderKam 1989:15). The keeping of the Sabbath would later be seen as an explicit marker of Jewish identity. In the 3rd century, Rabbi Lakish even goes as far as stating that non-Jews who do keep the Sabbath deserve death (Sanhedrin 58b) (Schachter & Freedman 1969).
This summary and undeniably fragmentary sketch of the reception of the Old Testament Sabbath commandment indicates how people - at least in certain milieus - strayed far from the original intentions of the Sabbath commandment: in both versions of the Decalogue the Sabbath is not only a 're-enactment' of the divine rest and harmony at the Creation (Exodus), it also simultaneously strives for the wellbeing and healing of the human person, just as God had intended when God liberated Israel from Egypt (Deuteronomy). This is where the Sabbath retains its significance, even for people of the present day. It seems that also the authors of the New Testament hoped to renew the Old Testament Sabbath commandment from this perspective.
Jesus' return to the original intention of the Sabbath prescription
Against the background of a view that tries to forcibly squeeze the Old Testament into the role of radical antipole to the New Testament, people have often asserted on the basis of some New Testament texts that Jesus wanted to either abolish or restrict the Sabbath. To this end, people have frequently referred to the statement 'the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath' (Mt 12:8; Mk 2:28; Lk 6:5). This statement is framed by the parallel passages about the plucking of grain on the Sabbath (Mt 12:1-8; Mk 2:23-28; Lk 6:1-5) (Fitzmyer 1970:604-606). It is, however, rather implausible that this statement was meant to subordinate or weaken the Sabbath. Neither does this passage seek to exempt the followers of Christ from keeping the Sabbath. By proclaiming Jesus with the Christological title of 'Son of Man,' these passages unambiguously allude to Daniel 7:13, where the Son of Man receives eternal lordship from God and therefore enjoys divine authority. The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath, just as God is (Gnilka 1986:446). What is weakened is not the idea of the Sabbath as the day of rest, but rather the human interpretation given to the Sabbath by Jewish halachah. As God's proxy, Jesus is portrayed as the one who wants to restore the honour of the Sabbath - to bring it back to God's intentions - by purging it of the Jewish halachah that had reduced it to a formulaic following of everything but the liberating prescriptions (Jeremias 1973:201). Without going into the redaction history and mutual interdependence of the gospel texts that speak about the Sabbath, we can state that all of them, without exception, hold that the New Testament Jesus (re)establishes the original intention of the Old Testament Sabbath commandment, in which blessing and healing are to be taken as the central characteristics of the Sabbath.
The statement that 'the Sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the Sabbath' (Mk 2:27) undoubtedly can be understood in this sense. This statement also refers to the ancient idea of the seventh day as a day of rest that would allow humans and animals to rest once each week. Whilst the Decalogue (Ex 20:10 and Dt 5:14) legitimises this rule by coupling it to the Sabbath as the day of rest, other texts such as Exodus 23:12 provide an explicitly social motivation. Translated literally, the text reads:
Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your slave and the alien may be refreshed. (Ex 23:12)
Although this text does not explicitly name the Sabbath as the day of rest in question, it is nevertheless unquestionable that it does so by virtue of its use of the verb 'to rest' . Based on the assertion that Exodus 23:12 does not provide any theological motivation for the Sabbath - it looks more like an old farmers' custom - one can reasonably suppose that this is one of the oldest biblical references to the custom of the Sabbath.
It is, however, primarily by situating most of the healing stories on the Sabbath that the New Testament authors sought to emphasise the liberating and healing origins of the Sabbath. There is of course the pericope of the healing of the man with the withered hand (Mt 12:9-14; Mk 3:1-6; Lk 6:6-11), but within the corpus of the synoptic gospels, it is especially Luke who situates these healing stories on the Sabbath, namely in Luke 4:31-41 (the driving out of a demon and the healing of Peter's mother in law; paralleled in Mk 1:23-34), Luke 13:10-17 (the healing of the crippled woman) and Luke 14:1-6 (the healing of the man with dropsy). John also situates two healing stories on the Sabbath, namely the healing of the lame man of Beth-zatha (Jn 5:1-18) and the healing of the man born blind in John 9:1-38 (Sevrin 1997:226242). Furthermore, John 7:19-24 also refers to Jesus' healing action on the Sabbath: if the Jews can perform circumcisions on the Sabbath in accordance with the law of Moses, Jesus considers it legitimate to 'completely heal' someone on the Sabbath as well.
By situating the healings on the Sabbath, the evangelists proclaim that the Sabbath is for the healing of the human person, and not for restriction. They thereby refer to the Old Testament intention of the Sabbath prescription as found in the decalogues of both Exodus and Deuteronomy. Although this liberating aspect is more evident in the version from Deuteronomy - the reference to God's intervention to liberate the oppressed Israelites from Egyptian slavery makes it obvious that the weekly Sabbath is connected to the theme of liberation - liberation out of chaos also stands central in the Sabbath commandment of Exodus 20:11. As was suggested above, this verse shows how the weekly Sabbath is a 'reenactment' of the 'original' Sabbath when God blessed the work he had done and brought it to completion. God also blessed and sanctified the day itself. The construction of the creation poem in Genesis 1:1-2:4 indicates how the author conceived God's creation as a transformation of disorder (Gn 1:2) to order (Gn 2:1-4) (Ausloos & Lemmelijn 2010:121143). Creation is here synonymous with the transition from chaos to harmony, and it reaches its climax on the seventh day - the day of completion and blessing. Here it should also be noted that Genesis 1:1-2:4 emphasises the universalistic character of God's creative activity. The continually recurring seventh day of rest applies not only to Israel or Judaism alone, but to all of humanity. Indeed, the creation narrative proclaims that God is lord and master of the entire creation: besides the heavenly bodies, seas, plants and animals, the human is created in God's image and is given the task of making the world habitable. When the evangelists situate Jesus' healing actions precisely and explicitly on the Sabbath, these actions become a 're-enactment' of the original Sabbath: chaos becomes harmony once again.
The liberating connotations of the Sabbath are also evident in the specific content of Jesus' teachings given on the Sabbath. Having Jesus speak in public on the Sabbath does more than simply report how rabbis spoke to people in synagogues on the Sabbath. Mark 1:21-22; 6:1-6 and Luke 4:31-32 make no mention of the content of Jesus' preaching on the Sabbath, though they do associate it with his healing actions(cf. Mk 1:23-31; 6:5; Lk 4:33-37). Luke 4:16-21, on the other hand, explicitly links Jesus' Sabbath preaching to his liberating action:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour. (Lk 4:16-21)
According to the evangelist, this promise from Isaiah 61:1-3 is fulfilled in Jesus. At the beginning of his gospel, however, Luke does not simply present Jesus as the one through whom Isaiah's eschatologically interpreted promise is definitively fulfilled. Luke does not simply re-apply the pericope of Isaiah 61:1-3 just like that. Amongst other things, he adds a section of Isaiah 58:6 ('to let the oppressed go free'), a text that unambiguously takes the side of the poor over against those rich people whose religious piety comes in direct conflict with their social behaviour. In light of the combination of Isaiah 61:1-3 and 58:6, Jesus is the one who stands up for the poor and oppressed and grants them freedom. This option for the poor is translated by Jesus' actions into the resolute liberating of the sick beggars. Not only does Luke 4:16-21 situate Jesus' action completely in line with the concerns of the Jubilee of the Old Testament (Lv 25), by setting the proclamation of this text from Isaiah precisely on the Sabbath, Luke also emphasises the liberating core of the Sabbath from the beginning of the gospel. Jesus thereby explicitly transcends the Old Testament particularism of Isaiah 61:1-3, in which the 'grieving ones of Zion' are blessed. Jesus' liberating action does not apply to them alone. He liberates all (Albertz 1983:191-198).
Finally, it should be noted that in addition to emphasising Jesus' liberating preaching and healing, through which he acts as God's proxy in restoring the honour of the Sabbath, the four evangelists also link Jesus' rising from the dead -the ultimate liberation - with the Sabbath. Indeed not only Mark 15:42 and Luke 23:54, but even John 19:31 are explicit in having Jesus laid in the grave before the beginning of the Sabbath. Furthermore, the three synoptic gospels emphasise that the women find the stone rolled away from Jesus' grave precisely on the first day of the week, after the Sabbath has ended (Mt 28:1; Mk 16:1; Lk 23:56) (Boyarin 2001:678-688).
In conclusion we can state that whilst the Sabbath prescription - whether seen as a re-enactment of God's completing rest on the seventh day of the creation or as a reference to God's liberating action that freed the Israelites from Egypt - sought to free the Israelites from l'idolâtrie du travail [idolatry of labour] by allowing them to put limits on their work (Wénin 1997:35), the New Testament authors have Jesus react in word and deed against l'idolâtrie du sabbat.' Jesus' actions thus 'fulfil' the Sabbath prescription by validating and confirming it (Zenger 1992:126-127): the Sabbath aims to liberate. Understood in this way, Jesus restores the Sabbath to its original intentions and true properties. To keep the Sabbath means, above all, that the human person can enjoy 'divine' rest in freedom. The Sabbath thus also becomes a symbol for liberation from everything that gets in the way of the human being - slavery, sickness and even death. What better day could the New Testament authors have chosen in order to characterise Jesus' actions as liberating - or as John 7:23 says, 'to make someone completely healed' - than the Sabbath?

The repetitive forward motion of running often causes tightening and shortening of muscles, creating imbalances that lead to pain and injuries. How many of us have experienced tight calves, rigid hamstrings or sore hip flexors?
When stretching, cross training or rest dont solve the problem, many runners find relief through yoga.
Ultra-runner Megan Finnesy was dealing with many of these issues after training and competing in the 2012 Hardrock 100.
Lets face it, you cant run those kinds of miles and not have tightness develop, causing all kinds of pains, said Finnesy, who began doing yoga to recover from the Hardrock. Yoga is a great option to create balance, core strength and flexibility. It breaks up adhesions and reduces pain from tight muscles.
Local yoga instructor Jennifer Kiel, a 10-year practitioner of the discipline, concurs about its benefits for runners.
Yoga can help bring symmetry, balance and alignment back to the body, Kiel said. Runners can use yoga to balance strength and also train their body and mind. It teaches you how to coordinate breath with movement, making the body more at ease and more efficient.
Ron Wheeler began a regular yoga regimen after experiencing several lower-leg issues while attempting to ramp up his running mileage.
I developed stiff and sore calves, Achilles tendons and other low-leg pains, Wheeler said. I tried stretching, which helped marginally. Practicing yoga has completely eliminated these issues. I rarely have any lower-leg pain.
Yoga can be practiced daily, in as little as 15 minutes before heading out the door for a run said Kiel, who speaks enthusiastically about the nonkinetic (nonmotion) benefits of yoga. When relaxed, the body is more effective at using and conserving strength. Pranayama (breathing exercises) benefits runners by soothing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and increasing VO2 Max (aerobic capacity), which is vital for competitive running success.
Kiel encourages runners to use yoga for recovery, as well.
Pranayama teaches your body how to bring in and utilize more oxygen by relaxing your mind and body for a quicker recovery, she said.
In 2009, Scott Perkins was training for a half-marathon and began experiencing iliotibial band pain. He had practiced yoga some years earlier but had gotten away from it. In 2010, he ran his first marathon, and the IT band issue came back and continued to plague him, eventually forcing him to quit running.
He jumped back into yoga practice and hasnt stopped practicing since.
I find yoga to be such a total body workout for both strength and flexibility, Perkins said. I also agree that the mental aspect of holding yoga positions helps strengthen the mind, particularly when distance running.
Since getting back to yoga, I have run three marathons and a 50K and have had no injuries, he said. I guess there is no way to say that yoga is the primary reason, but I can absolutely say that my energy level, strength and flexibility have increased tremendously.
I hope to never get away from yoga again, he said.

Judge declares mistrial in 'road rage' shooting trial
The fate of Dwyndell Perrault is resting with the jury after two days of testimony concluded around 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 9.
Perrault was charged with the August 2010 shooting of 12-year-old Ivan Perez, who was a passenger of a vehicle Perrault shot at in what police described as a case of extreme road rage.
The 12-member jury was selected Monday, and prosecution called a number of witnesses Tuesday and Wednesday. Prosecution showed jurors what was reported the night of Aug. 10.
Ingrid Perez, Ivan's older sister, was a fellow passenger in the vehicle, riding alongside her brother in the backseat of the Nissan.
The events that took place as described by Gaston Jimenez, the driver; Gustavo Diaz, the front seat passenger; and Perez, left them all traumatized.
Perez said that night, they had pulled up to a car stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of Corley and Avenue D. They waited behind the car for a moment and honked the horn. When the car still did not move after a few minutes, Jimenez attempted to pass the vehicle blocking their way on the right.
She said she remembered seeing a man in the driver's seat, woman in the passenger seat and two children in the back, one of whom was in a car seat. As they drove by the man got out of the car and yelled at them, then fired a gun.
The bullets went through the back windshield and one struck her younger brother in the head.
During her testimony, she said she remembered ducking down, and reaching for Ivan to pull him down, only to discover that he had been struck by one of the bullets.
"I told him not to close his eyes," she testified with the help of a translator. "It felt like he was dying; in agonizing pain."
Ivan did not die during the incident and spent a month-and-a-half recovering at a Houston hospital. And though he is physically okay, he is not emotionally himself anymore, according to Perez.
Phillip Grant, a friend of Perrault, was called to testify for the prosecution Wednesday. According to his testimony, Grant said he went with Perrault to a store and on the way there Perrault said he had gotten into an argument with "some Mexicans" earlier that evening. Perrault told Grant to watch the news that evening to see if anything had happened.
Prosecution rested around 2 p.m. Wednesday, and the defense called no witnesses. The jury was dismissed after about three hours of deliberation and resumed deliberation Thursday morning.
Judge John Stevens declared a mistrial after the jury could not come to a unanimous decision. Eleven of the twelve jurors were in favor of a guilty verdict but a lone juror held out for an acquittal. Just before 5 p.m. Judge Stevens announced the deadlock and declared the mistrial.

Metzelaars, Mourouzis Honored at Stagby Jim Amidon • November 12, 2010 Share:
Two legendary men who left their marks on the grand history of the Monon Bell Classic were honored Thursday night when alumni from Wabash and DePauw gathered in Indianapolis for the annual Monon Bell Stag.
Wabash's Pete Metzelaars '82 and long-time DePauw coach Nick Mourouzis received the Spirit of the Monon Bell Award.
The Stag is an annual event hosted by the Indianapolis alumni associations of both schools. Wabash President Pat White and DePauw President Brian Casey were on hand to celebrate the values both schools share and to make light fun of what sets the institutions apart.
After the two presidents paid tribute to the unique rivalry — and exchanged a few good-natured barbs — the Spirit of the Monon Bell Awards were presented. The awards are presented by the rival alumni association to an accomplished graduate of the other college.
Presenting the award to Metzelaars on behalf of the DePauw alumni body was Dr. Phil Eskew, a decorated DePauw student-athlete and prominent Indianapolis physician.
Eskew paid tribute to Metzelaars for his storied Wabash athletics career and his 16-year run as a starting tight end in the National Football League. Metzelaars was a two-time basketball All-American at Wabash, led Wabash to the 1982 Division III National Championship, and was the 1982 Division III Player of the Year.
In football, Metzelaars was a Little All-American at Wabash and was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the 1982 NFL draft. He played 16 seasons for Seattle, Buffalo, Carolina, and Detroit, and set the NFL record for most games ever played by a tight end. He was named to the All-Rookie Team and played for four AFC Championship teams in Buffalo. He played in four Super Bowls and caught a touchdown pass in one of them.
Since his retirement, Metzelaars has become a coach. He was the Offensive Quality Control Coach for the Indianapolis Colts when they won the Super Bowl, and he is now in his first year as the Colts' offensive line coach.
Long-time Wabash assistant football coach Steve House presented the Spirit of the Monon Bell Award to former Tiger coach Nick Mourouzis on behalf of the Wabash alumni.
Coach Mourouzis was House's position coach at Ball State University in the 1960s, and the two rival coaches have known each other ever since.
Mourouzis retired as the all-time winningest coach in DePauw football history with 138 victories during his 23 seasons as the head coach from 1981 through 2003. Mourouzis noted that his Tigers' team beat Wabash in Metzelaars' senior season, which snapped a long Wabash winning streak.
After the Spirit of the Monon Bell Awards were presented, the evening turned to laughter with roasters from both schools taking stabs at one another.
Approximately 250 alumni and friends of the two schools gathered for the festivities.

Boulder Brew Tours: For information or to buy tickets, visit boulderbrewtours.com
Pilsner? Check.
Imperial IPA? Check.
Belgian strong ale? Check.
Gluten-free brew? Check.
Ashleigh Miller, a local photographer, drank them all down at Shine Restaurant & Gathering Place in downtown Boulder last week, savoring the subtly diverse flavors and characteristics of each sample put in front of her.
No sooner had the self-described beer aficionado placed her last empty glass on the table when she was whisked into a 15-passenger van for a 15-minute ride to Avery Brewing Company on the east side of town, where the tasting and testing of freshly brewed beer started anew.
And thus it goes at the recently launched Boulder Brew Tours, a suds-sampling start-up that takes customers to four Boulder brewpubs and breweries for tastings and even a little bit of beer school. Besides Shine and Avery, the three-hour tour stops off at Upslope Brewing and Asher Brewing companies.
"The microbrewery scene here in Boulder is so great -- you can't get bored," Miller said, as Boulder Brew Tours' van bounced along Arapahoe Road past the latest addition to the city's burgeoning brewpub scene -- Fate Brewing Company, which opens at the end of the month. "I can't pass up having someone drive me around to all the brewpubs."
Microbreweries 'blowing up'
Behind the wheel of Boulder Brew Tours' van is Lee Olliffe, a Colorado native who conceived of the operation last year and debuted the first tour in mid-December.
The tour costs $38 a person. Tours are scheduled to run Thursdays through Sundays, starting at 2 p.m.
Olliffe, who has experience brewing his own beer and worked for a spell at Dillon Dam Brewery in Dillon, plans to add a downtown Boulder brewery walking tour soon. It would hit Shine, West Flanders Brewing Co. and Walnut Brewery & Restaurant and cost $28.
Tickets can be purchased for either tour at boulderbrewtours.com.
"I've always had a passion for beer and Colorado has always been my home," he said. "My goal is for people to walk out and say, 'Wow, Boulder has a lot of great beer.'"
Kesse Buchanan, Olliffe's business partner, said the tours are a great way to show off the city and its brewing skills. Boulder has 18 breweries/brewpubs, with another eight in the planning stages.
"Microbreweries are just blowing up and I'm passionate about Boulder," she said, as a server at Avery brought another round of sample size suds to the five customers on the tour last week.
Beer's mechanics explored
Boulder Brew Tours isn't the only -- or the first -- service to take customers around to Boulder's plentiful craft breweries. Banjo Billy's Boulder Brew Bus has operated for the last three years and visits many of the same breweries Boulder Brew Tours does.
But Olliffe says his tour is meant for the slightly more curious beer drinker, the person who doesn't mind spending a few minutes at the back of Shine smelling bags of hops and watching the kettle boil. During last week's tour, Shine brewmaster Mike Kasian emerged from the walk-in fridge, pouring small glasses of a freshly brewed Imperial IPA he and a brewer from Fate had just concocted together.
The beer uses Amarillo hops to lend it a tangerine flavor and boasts a burly 10.5 percent alcohol content.
"This is the biggest beer I've ever made," Kasian said, warning the Boulder Brew Tours group gathered around a large mash tun to go easy with their serving.
Jill Emich, co-owner of Shine, said boldness and creativity is what makes for better beer in Boulder. And Boulder Brew Tours, she said, has brought in a clientele that seems more interested in the make-up of, and the process behind the beer, than in simply trying to get as loaded as possible.
"We're excited in having people in here who are really into beer," she said. "They were interested in learning about the beer and learning how it's made, where it's made."
Joe Heywood, who recently moved to Denver from St. Louis, said he enjoys the more esoteric approach to the industry Boulder Brew Tours takes without getting heavy handed about all the details. And, Heywood said, it exposed him to smaller players -- like Shine -- that he might not otherwise have ever set foot in.
"That was really cool to see a smaller brewery like that," he said.

The National Mall is often referred to as the political heart of the United States. This vast green area in the centre of Washington, D.C. is lined with imposing monuments, iconic government buildings and impressive museums. This is truly the place where Washington captivates, impresses and radiates power.
In 1791, President George Washington commissioned the French-American architect Pierre Charles L'Enfant to design the capital of the United States in an area of about 22 square kilometres. L'Enfant wanted to create a 'grand boulevard' between the United States Capitol and the place where the Washington Monument now stands. In 1901, Senator James McMillan initiated the McMillan Plan, an extension of the L'Enfant plan creating the National Mall as we know it today.
At almost 3 kilometres long, the National Mall stretches from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol. The best place to begin your walk is at the top of the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. From here you will have the most beautiful view of the Mall. The Washington Monument is beautifully mirrored in the Reflecting Pool while in the distance you see the stately Capitol Dome. It was on these steps that Martin Luther King held his famous 'I Have a Dream' speech in 1968. Inside the memorial is an almost 6-metre-high statue of President Abraham Lincoln. From his chair he calmly looks out over Washington.
A walk along the Mall can easily take an entire day – not so much because of the length of the green corridor, but because of the dozens of museums that flank this vast plain. There are 10 Smithsonian museums along the Mall. All are big institutions, so unless you have days to spend it is best to limit yourself to 2 or 3. The National Museum of American History is an absolute must. This museum displays hundreds of years of American history: from Lincoln's top hat to the first Nintendo Game Boy. One of the most valuable items is from 1813, the very first version of the Star Spangled Banner, the American flag. This gigantic flag inspired Francis Scott Key to write the song that would eventually become the American national anthem. Another highly recommended choice is the National Museum of Natural History. The collection ranges from a room full of dinosaurs to the Hope Diamond: everyone will find something of fascination here.
In the heart of the Mall is the Washington Monument. This obelisk is the highest point in Washington, D.C. There are 4 important points aligned with this monument: the Lincoln Memorial to the west, the White House to the north, the Capitol to the east and the Jefferson Memorial in the south. The pillar is surrounded by 56 American flags representing the 50 states plus Washington, D.C. and 5 U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. You can take an elevator to the top of the monument but tickets must be booked in advance.

The Football League begins its new season next weekend, but non-league football doesn't begin again for a couple of weeks. With this in mind, it's time to take a quick look around how some clubs are doing in their pre-season friendlies. All of these matches are from the last couple of weeks and, it has to be said, we have no details on how strong the teams taking part in these matches my or may not have been. Anyway, as a teaser for the start of the new season, here's a quick look at: York City vs Hartlepool United, Woking vs Charlton Athletic, Bury Town vs Colchester United, Chorley vs Bolton Wanderers and Mansfield Town vs Notts County.
