<html>Rajan Zed posed to a panel of religious leaders of the region the following question:Since many religions/denominations regard scriptures as sacred (usually revealed), should we interpret scriptures literally or make attempts to look for a deeper message underneath the surface?Here is what they have to say:INSPIRED LAYERS OF MEANINGSharla S. Hales, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints assistant area public affairs directorMembers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe scriptures have layers of meaning. Each layer, from the literal to the deeply symbolic, is inspired and helpful to different people at different times. Bruce R. McConkie wrote: ?Each pronouncement in the holy scriptures ? is so written as to reveal little or much, depending on the spiritual capacity of the student.? As we prayerfully read and ponder, the meaning we are ready for and in need of will be revealed to us by our loving Heavenly Father.Paul told Timothy, ?all scripture is given by inspiration of God.? (2 Tim 3:16) This inspiration includes personal revelation to the humble seeker of truth and answers.We should interpret scriptures literally and look for deeper messages as we search scriptures, ponder their meanings and applications in our lives, and pray for inspiration revealing personally to us the meaning of scriptures.70 FACETSElizaBeth W. Beyer, Temple Beth Or rabbiJudaism?s sacred scriptures inherently carry multiple perspectives. This is based upon the verse, ?One thing G-d spoke; two things I heard.? (Psalms 62:12) Indeed, ?[O]ne biblical verse may convey several teachings. ... In R. Ishmael?s School, it was taught: And like the hammer that shatters the rock in pieces (Jeremiah 23:29) i.e., just as [the rock] splits into many splinters, one biblical verse convey many teachings.? (Sanhedrin 34a) ... even if they contradict one another. This concept of multiple interpretations is called ?Shivim Panim,? 70 Facets (Numbers Rabbah 13:15-16), meaning each verse carries 70 ways that it could be interpreted.(Page 2 of 4)<br>There are many Sages who wrote commentaries over the millennia. We study the text ?turning it over and over? (Pirkey Avot 5:26), looking deeply into it so that we might find new personal insights and inspiration for our life journey. Our holy texts derive relevance and vitality for the times in which we live.EMPTY TALK OR LIVING WORDSStephen R. Karcher, St. Anthony Greek Orthodox Church presiding priestThere?s a rule of faith that guides the church into its life and is continually refreshed by the Holy Spirit. The word of God lives and echoes in our services, sacraments and holy tradition. Because of this, the interpretation of scripture is something that takes place within the church. The result is that the church?s life itself becomes the actual interpretation of her scriptures, and it is the believers themselves who become, in the apostle?s words, ?letters of Christ,[http://www.nepalhealth.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=85&func=view&catid=25&id=197195#197195 NFL Early Games (Week 1)- Open Thread For Live Cha], written not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.? We can?t reduce understanding of scripture to mere academic exercises. Methods of interpretation categorized as ?literal,? ?moral,? ?allegorical,? etc., are artificial and unfortunately doomed to become only more empty talk about God. The living word of God is authentically interpreted in the midst of the church.MYSTERIES OF GODMary Jo Adams, Washoe County Baha?i Spiritual Assembly vice chairpersonLiteralist interpretations of scriptural metaphors and symbols found in the world?s religions serve to alienate many in the scientific community as well as many reasonable individuals from attempting to participate in religious discourse. Analogy is useful because it defies a single authoritative interpretation and is capable of yielding a variety of meanings, usually an ?outer? meaning that captures the imagination and an ?inner? meaning that teaches a moral lesson. Christ?s use of parables required his listeners to think for themselves rather than regurgitate memorized legalisms. Abdul Baha (1844-1921), the son of Baha?u?llah and the perfect exemplar of Baha?i life, stated that sacred texts have intrinsic spiritual meanings and are not to be taken literally. ?Be not satisfied with words, but seek to understand the spiritual meanings hidden in the heart of the words ... these are the mysteries of God.?(Page 3 of 4)<br>GOD MEANS WHAT HE SAYSStephen B. Bond, senior pastor of Summit Christian Church, SparksGod has not obliquely hidden his message in the Bible. The Bible literally means what it says unless there is compelling evidence otherwise. One example of non-literal biblical literature is the Psalms. The Psalms often use poetic language, so when Psalm 96:12 says ?let all the trees of the forest sing for joy,[http://cqxxsg.com/read.php?tid=501830&ds=1 Weekly Weird Internet- The Pavlov Poke, Zip It Tablecloth, and Electroshock Anti],? it is obviously metaphorical.But most of the Bible literally means what it says. ?Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.? (Deuteronomy 30:11) God wants us to know him and to obey him. This is why God reveals his will so clearly in the Bible.From cover to cover, the Bible is the story of God?s love for humankind and his work of redemption, which culminates with the death and resurrection of Jesus. These are literal historic facts that literally change lives.INTERPRETATION UNAVOIDABLEKenneth G. Lucey, UNR philosophy/religion professorEvery language contains words with ambiguous meanings. Consider the sentence fragment: ?The bank where Joseph rested ...? Did Joseph rest on the bank of a stream, on the bank of a lake or in a financial institution? Issues of time and context can disambiguate, or the conceptual issues can remain tangled and unresolved. Every body of scripture from any of the traditional religions began as an oral tradition. Each repetition of the account of an incident provides an occasion for the introduction of changes or interpretations. When written versions of the oral traditions finally are produced, it is likely that the texts vary at different points. For example, a short document called ?The Infancy Gospel of Thomas,? which contains folk stories about the childhood of Jesus, is said to survive ?in many versions in 13 different languages.? Producing a definitive version of such a text simply cannot be done without interpretation.UNDERSTANDING QURANSherif A. Elfass, Northern Nevada Muslim Community presidentMuslims believe that the Quran is the word of God revealed to prophet Muhammad through angel Gabriel over 22 years. The Arabic text of the Quran has remained unchanged for the past 1,400 years because God himself promised to guard it [15:10]. The Quran, which consists of 114 chapters, has verses that can be interpreted literally while others have much deeper meanings. Thus, ordinary Muslims should not interpret the Quran on their own,[http://wiki.contratanet.com.br/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio%3ARovahomoimi#From_JYD_to_Jason_Kapono-_RaptorsHQ_Flashback_Lunchbox_Links From JYD to Jason Kapono- RaptorsHQ Flashback Lunchbox Links], and it is considered a sin if they do. There are four sources of interpretations of the Quran. The first in status is the Quran itself where certain verses clarify other verses. The second is the Sunnah (sayings, actions and tradition) of prophet Muhammad and the third is the traditions of the companions of the prophet. Beyond that, established scholars use the science of ijtihad (reasoning) to provide guidance when the other sources are unclear.(Page 4 of 4)<br>WRITTEN FOR OUR INSTRUCTIONMatthew F. Cunningham, Roman Catholic Diocese of Reno chancellorIn sacred scripture, God speaks to man in a human way. To interpret scripture correctly, the reader must be attentive to what the human authors truly wanted to affirm and what God wanted to reveal to us by their words. In order to discover the sacred authors? intentions, the reader must take into account the conditions of their time and culture, the literary genre in use at that time, and the modes of feeling, speaking and narrating then current. ?For the fact is that truth is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical texts, and in other forms of literary expression.? (Catechism of the Catholic Church: 109, 110)The Bible is truly the word of God in the words of humanity. We need faith and reason, grace and nature, authentic trust in God and a solid intellectual basis to interpret it properly.LITERAL & DEEPER MEANINGJikai?

All invite contemplation of deeper meaning. The famous Lotus Sutra, e.g., is filled with parables, similes, metaphors and realistic descriptions of billion-world universes. Literalness resides in core teachings of loving kindness and enlightened living leading to nirvana. Buddhist sutras are generally not considered ?revealed? or ?sacred,[http://ksfj.jp/board/index.php?topic=223078.msg267426#msg267426 Fed Policy Makers Must Deal With Conflicting Data],? but as inspired teachings of Shakyamuni and disciples. Some, however, such as the Lotus Sutra and Heart Sutra, have been and are now ?sacred? for millions. The Lotus and Heart sutras are also historically influential texts of East Asian civilizations. The Lotus is especially significant because it declares itself to be the last teaching of Shakyamuni, that all might attain Buddhahood. Many of its ?parables? invite interpretation. The Heart Sutra is read, chanted regularly and interpreted for personal meaning by many tens of millions worldwide.Faith Forum is a weekly dialogue on religion coordinated by Rajan Zed.

== Southern Nevada woman charged with falsely collecting money ==
 +
 +
<html>A 36-year-old Mesquite woman was arrested Friday evening by police detectives and charged with several felonies in connection with allegedly trying to collect money by falsely claiming one of her five children was suffering from a rare form of liver cancer, a Mesquite police spokesman said.Shawnanna Starr Guerrero Flores was charged with felony fraud,[http://www.0gz.net/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=333759&fromuid=3190 Fans taking in Packers game Sunday are happy football is back], obtaining money under false pretenses, felony child abuse and felony theft after being questioned by detectives Friday afternoon and evening about allegations her son Rodrigo Quintero did not have liver cancer as she had been claiming for the past several weeks, said Mesquite Police Detective Sgt. MaQuade Chesley, public information officer.Flores was first held in the Mesquite detention center and was to be taken to the Clark County Jail in Las Vegas over the weekend, Chesley said. Bail had not been set at press time.?A benefit car wash was held Aug. 24, at the Rebel gas station, where many community members donated time and supplies in an effort which raised $404,? Chesley said. ?A fund was established at Wells Fargo Bank and money jars were placed in businesses around Mesquite. There were also future benefit fundraisers scheduled within the community to assist the child.?Clark County Child Protective Services worked in cooperation with the Mesquite Police Department during this investigation,? Chesley said. ?Additionally, Child Protective Services is continuing their own investigation into the fraudulent scheme involving the child.?The sergeant told the Desert Valley Times (DVT) the felony child abuse charge stems from the fact that 7-year-old Rodrigo apparently was led to believe he really has a rare deadly cancer that very well might prove fatal. Shaving his head and the heads of the entire family was apparently a ruse to bolster Flores? false claims.The possibility that Rodrigo wasn?t as ill as his mother claimed first came to light this week when organizers of a Mesquite fundraising effort called ?Carnival for Cures? dropped him from its list of beneficiaries because Flores failed to provide requested medical evidence of Hepatoblastoma (liver cancer). Additionally, the Eureka Resort Hotel and Casino, which was scheduled to cater a charity dinner for Rodrigo Saturday night at Playoffs Sports Pub and Pizzeria, also pulled its support because the lack of medical documentation.(Page 2 of 2)<br>The other four individuals scheduled to benefit from Carnival for Cures readily submitted medical proof of their afflictions when it was sought, said event organizers.?We have to have documentation to move forward because there?s a lot of businesses helping us,? said Blanca Villarreal,[http://www.dianlv.cn/www/show.php?aid=155667 Videos show glimpse into evidence for Syria interv], an event organizer who helped form Carnival for Cures.?The reason for our decision is that we have been unable to receive basic, minimum medical documentation from Rodrigo?s mom, Starr Guerrero Flores confirming her son?s diagnosis of Hepatoblastoma,? the event committee said in a letter quoted in a Desert Valley Times story Friday.Despite mounting doubts and criticism from several fronts this week, Flores repeatedly insisted her son had liver cancer and for days vowed to supply a written diagnosis from his doctor. Flores went so far as to send DVT reporter Jesselyn Bickley at midnight Thursday the name of a real southern Utah doctor who she claimed had diagnosed 7-year-old Rodrigo with Hepatoblastoma.During their investigation,[http://indianbigchief.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=99885 Cowboys Corner- DeMarcus Ware's shoulder is healed], police apparently were able prove that claim false.Flores, her husband David Pitts and the entire family, which lives in a small Mesquite apartment on Moss Drive, last Monday shaved their heads ?in support of Rodrigo,? who they claimed was losing his hair because of a pill form of chemotherapy. Again, it appears Flores went to extreme lengths to allegedly hide the fact Rodrigo did not have cancer.The only medical information Flores provided to anyone, including the DVT, was a report that said Rodrigo has a ?1.4 cm enhancing lesion within the left hepatic lobe. Differential considerations include hemangioma, ademona or focal nodular hyperplasia.? (None of these ?considerations? are cancerous conditions.)Carnival for Cures and the Playoffs dinner were only Flores? latest attempts to get money. In addition to the car wash,[http://deardearbaby.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=354262&fromuid=8105 NBA Most Hyped- Nikoloz Tskitishvili's dramatic disappointment], a local garage sale was another recent event to benefit the youngster.Chesley said Friday night police were unable to conclusively link any others to the alleged cancer scam including Pitts,[http://wiki.observedapp.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Rovahomoimi#IOC_wants_Armstrong_to_return_Olympic_medal IOC wants Armstrong to return Olympic medal], Flores? husband.He added that if ?anyone from the general public has further information and/or donated money to the Rodrigo Cancer Fund, please contact Mesquite Det. Ron Richmond at 702-346-5262 ext. 6032.? Page</html>

      152,440gE How many Roku models are there? Like, twelve? But it doesn't matter: the newest one is here, and thankfully (predictably?) it's the best one yet. So good that you'll stop using other crap you own. So good you'll use your cable box less. That good.
 +
is very, very simple. It's more or less like every single other Roku: a little black thing you plug in to your TV that'll deliver streaming media (Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Spotfiy,[http://lag.coeurlumiere.com/index.php/topic,124546.msg202563.html#msg202563 Pembroke Park resdient Matthew Murphy mocks deputies about dougnuts while being], et al.) on demand. The Roku 3 is still very much this same thing—but it's reached a critical mass of how much stuff you can stream and how easily you can stream it. So much so that it really feels like an entirely new Roku. So much that it'll make your TV fun again.
 +
S
 +
Design
 +
It's a tiny black puck like all the other tiny black pucks. You need to plug two cables into it, tops. It's stupid simple, and yet with its slightly rounded, upturned edges, the Roku 3 manages to look slii-iightly cool looking—enough to point out, anyway. The purple tag is still cute.
 +
But really, this is a tiny charcoal puck you're going to put next to your TV and probably forget is even in the room with you. Which is exactly what you want.
 +
Using It
 +
It's the same old puck on the outside, the same shade of black, the same gloss, the same size, the same old remote in your hand, and the same hardware features—ethernet, USB input,[http://hummerbox.ru/node/20505 Four face death for 'cold], 1080p output, etc.—as ever. And it streams all the same old channels—all 700ish of them. None of that matters.
 +
What matters is a completely hatcheted-apart, lovingly rebuilt interface with virtually no resemblance to what came before it.
 +
Gone is the exhausting horizontal row.
 +
Now there's a grid. It's a lot like Apple TV's grid, only a lot more thought has been poured into it. There's not just a grid—you'll always have two chunks of visual information in front of you. Maybe it'll be a grid view of your saved channels—nine visible at a time—with options like Search and Settings to the left.
 +
Or if you go to add new channels, you'll have a list of categories on the left (Sports, News, etc) and the channels that belong to those categories on the right. Everything flows so smoothly that it never takes more than a few clicks or pushes of the directional buttons to do anything you want to do, and it's always clear what part of the interface pushed you to another part. You'll rarely get lost. You'll know where to find your stuff. And you'll probably end up watching more enjoyable stuff because it's easier to find.SLikeRoku beat Google TV without even trying. The new interface makes the prospect of navigating hundreds of channels—thousands and thousands of shows and movies—a non-nightmare. It makes streaming music on Spotify or Pandora a cinch, without horrendous Android app residues.And lo: for the first time, search on a TV isn't a convoluted horror. Gone are the confusing duplicate results of Google TV. Type in something you want to watch, and if one of the Roku channels you use has it, it'll be listed. You're not flashbanged with options. It's simple. Roku insisted on keeping everything simple.And this is what matters: the interface is everything. Everything. There's simply never been a better way to watch stuff.No LikeMost of Roku's 700+ channels, just like most apps, most art, and most people who raise their hands to comment in class, are terrible. Obscure junk that nobody really needs or wants. But while Roku's gone for volume over quality, none of these worthless channels are foisted on you. Just choose not to install WealthTV 3D or The Man Channel or Asian Crush Plus. It'll be as if they never existed. No loss.What might be a real loss, though, is the richness of Roku that you can only hit if you're spending a non-insignificant amount of money on subscriptions. I have a Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, Spotify, and a Time Warner Cable account. This yields me all the streams from all of these companies—and man, having 300 channels of live HD cable TV is a dream—and really makes my cable box feel stupid and senile. If you're signed up for fewer of these services, you won't have the same Oh My God, Here Is Everything media experience, but frankly they're largely redundant, and you can get away with much less than I used for testing.But keep it in mind: the Roku is a thing you pay for that just reroutes things you also pay for, albeit in a lovely way.SShould I Buy it?Do you already have a current Roku model? Yes? Then no,[http://social.smamda.sch.id/ Abbott chief escapes drink driving fine], you shouldn't buy it, because the Roku 3's interface will be made available for all the older models Roku sells today starting in April. And those Rokus all have perfectly acceptable hardware. The 3 has a faster processor and the remote has a headphone jack that's very nice for being a considerate roommate or neighbor during quiet time, but really, all that matters here is the UI. I promise you, Existing Roku Owner,[http://igbokaa.com/view/post:1274952 iPhone 5s, iOS 7 release anticipated at Tuesday Ap], that your old processor will be good enough, and that you'll survive having to maybe wait a few extra second to get to an old episode of Community.Do you not have a streaming box of any kind? No? Then buy the Roku 3. It's better than the Apple TV, unless you're addicted to mirroring from your MacBook or iPad. It's better than any Google TV, although that's pretty much an award for bothering to put on your shoes at the baseball game. It's the best Roku of all time, it's only a hundred bucks, carries nearly every conceivable form of streaming media (except YouTube, blerg!), and is tiny and cute. It'll probably make you gain a little weight and perhaps die a little earlier due to inactivity, but god,[http://www.shbgz.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=543006 Homes lost, firefighters hurt in menacing start to bushfire season], Vevo is so much fun to spend time snapping through. 2 Chainzzzz.Roku 3

Major league home run leader Chris Davis had done some pretty impressive things at the plate this year, but the most remarkable may been this foul ball he hit against CC Sabathia in the first inning of the Orioles 4-2 win over the Yankees Monday night.
 +

Davis fouled the ball into the dirt only to have it bounce up,[http://www.nostroviaggio.altervista.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=2&id=76&limit=6&limitstart=1422&Itemid=122#30126 Dennis Rodman announces plans to organise N Korea], ricochet of his knee into his chest, then roll into the gap between the buttons on his jersey. Every now and then,[http://theuniversalmatrix.com/en-us/articles/ BREKKIE WRAP- Child bride dies on wedding night; circus elephant escapes and kills man], you ll see a ball sneak into the jersey of a player trying to field it, as proper fielding technique involves bringing the ball in toward your chest and/or using your chest to keep the ball in front of you.

== Winning Homestand Continues the Royals' Wild Ride ==
 +

 +
I don t know what to make of this season anymore.
 +
It s a departure from most Royals seasons where the team starts low and stays low. This year, there have been peaks and valleys nearly all season.
 +
The low point was their 23-32 mark on June 4. Since, they ve clawed back to .500 at 34-34 and promptly dropped four straight after. They didn t get back to .500 until game 102 on July 28 after a stretch that took them from entertaining offers for  to looking to add pieces. Since July 28, they ve been at .500 or better, but still had a mini-collapse that took them from 62-54 back down to 64-64.
 +
They re 11-4 since that period and are coming off of a series win over Detroit after an opening game that could have been the final dagger. Maybe this group is just too young to know they re supposed to fold by now. Or maybe that s still to come. So far,[http://jaimezollars.com/wordpress/ Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski says she supports Syria strike], though, every time it s looked like the Royals were coming back down to earth, they ve turned it around and given hope back to the fanbase.
 +
This chart illustrates the swings:
 +
The Royals winning percentage by game up to game 143 on Sunday 9/8.
 +
This latest surge has put the Royals just 3.5 games back of the wild card, a spot that seemed unfathomable just two weeks ago when the Yankees jumped ahead of Kansas City and put some distance between the two teams. , the Royals were seven games back of the postseason; New York was 3.5 games behind.
 +
After Sunday, the Royals are back in it. They re just a game behind the Yankees and a game and a half behind both Baltimore and Cleveland. If the Royals can sweep Cleveland in this upcoming series, they can watch the Yankees and Orioles beat each other up in a four game series. If New York and Baltimore split, the teams chasing Tampa could line up like this after Thursday:
 +
Kansas City 78-68
 +
Baltimore 78-68
 +
New York 78-69
 +
Cleveland 76-69
 +
Tampa faces Boston, the team with the best record in the AL and the team that just scored 57 runs in their last five games. They re playing great baseball at the moment and if they were to be helpful to our cause and sweep Tampa, the Royals would be half a game behind the Rays.
 +
That s the best-case scenario, and there would still be the final two and a half weeks of the season to go and finish things up,[http://www.chinoiserie.net.cn/lixing/plus/view.php?aid=82462 McCain- US Has No Choice But To Allow For New Dipl], but while the odds are steep, they aren t impossible.
 +
The realist in me knows that it s a longshot. Baseball Prospectus had them with a 1.5% chance to make the wild card as of Sunday morning. ESPN is more optimistic at 8.4%, but there s no denying that the Royals need everything to break their way for it to work.
 +
They dodged some bullets in the last week. The starting rotation was shaky this time through with the exception of  s efficient seven innings on Sunday. Previously,[http://www.023.net.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1475989 Teaching the public service to obey its new masters], only  had made it into the sixth inning, and he still gave up five runs in the process. Overall, in the last five games, Royals starters have thrown 24.1 innings and allowed 23 runs. Omit Chen s 7 IP,[http://www.cuav.net/activity/p/528290/ Tony Abbott expected to visit Indonesia], 2 run effort and it s even worse. The Royals bullpen did their job for the most part, and a fully stocked bullpen (after September call ups arrived) helped  play matchups and bring a quick hook when it was necessary.
 +
Now, the Royals have to take care of business on their end. They ll face Cleveland on the road then meet up with Detroit for another series. They ll return home for another shot at Cleveland and finish the home schedule a set against the Rangers. It s a difficult stretch in an intensely meaningful time of year.
 +
That s the season. If they thrive during this coming stretch, things get exciting. Fade this week and the dream is over. If everything falls right,[http://www.eatthatcake.com/ Fake products may be dangerous- CHOICE], the last two series are against Seattle (who the Royals just took three of four and had a shot at the fourth) and the White Sox (who have been better than only the Astros this year in the AL).

== Eagles down Redskins in Kelly’s debut ==
 +
 +
<html>LeSean McCoy and the Eagles were impressive in their season-opening win over the Redskins. (Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports)
 +
LANDOVER, Md. Chip Kelly s NFL coaching debut trumped Robert Griffin III s return from knee surgery, and the Philadelphia Eagles earned a 33-27 win over the Washington Redskins on Monday night.
 +
Kelly s speedy offense ran 54 plays for 22 first downs in building a 33-7 margin just 1:26 into the third quarter. Michael Vick completed 15 of 25 passes for 203 yards with two touchdown passes and no interceptions. Vick also ran nine times for 56 yards and a score, augmenting a ground attack that got 31 carries,[http://oyauto.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1018898&extra= RGIII’s Return Doesn’t Go According to Plan, Redskins Upset By Eagle], 184 yards and a touchdown from LeSean McCoy.
 +
Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson caught seven passes for 104 yards and a touchdown.
 +
Meanwhile, as Washington fell behind by 26 points, Griffin began 6-for-14 for 62 yards with two interceptions while running twice for just 2 yards.
 +
The second-year quarterback led a rally that made the score and his statistics deceivingly respectable. Griffin finished 30-for-49 for a career-high 329 yards with two TD passes and the two picks. He ended the night with five carries for 24 yards.
 +
After Alfred Morris 5-yard touchdown run on the penultimate play of the third quarter ended Philadelphia s 33-0 run, Josh Wilson forced a fumble that Perry Riley recovered at the Philadelphia 35. Griffin hooked up with receiver Leonard Hankerson on a 10-yard touchdown pass 1:36 into the fourth quarter, pulling the Redskins within 33-20. The two-point conversion pass was no good.
 +
Griffin and Hankerson connected for a 24-yard touchdown with just 74 seconds left to cut the deficit to seven,[http://weddingdirectorypro.com/ CU 38, Central Arkansas 24  CBS Denver], but the Eagles recovered the ensuing onside kick.
 +
The Redskins were on their heels from the start against Kelly s up-tempo offense. Philadelphia drove 76 yards in nine plays in less than three minutes, but linebacker Ryan Kerrigan deflected Vick s backward throw from the Washington 4-yard line. Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall scooped up the fumble and ran 75 for a touchdown as the Eagles watched,[http://www.vkamiddelburg.be/node/185#comment-63615 Online Security Pioneer Predicts Grim Future], believing it was an incomplete pass.
 +
Philadelphia stormed right back,[http://www.yiyu.nl/blog-ko/?q=node/2&page=673#comment-33693 Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Timberlake US Open twins], racing 51 yards in nine plays to the Washington 29 before settling for a 48-yard Alex Henery field goal.
 +
When running back Alfred Morris fumbled on Washington s next play, Vick responded with a 25-yard scoring strike to Jackson with Hall trailing. At that point, 6:01 into the game, the Eagles had run 19 plays for 146 yards while the Redskins had one snap for 3 yards.
 +
When Griffin s first downfield throw into triple coverage for receiver Santana Moss was intercepted by Brandon Boykin, Washington had two turnovers, a penalty and a 3-yard loss among its first five plays.
 +
The Redskins next series was even worse, as Griffin fumbled as he tried to hand the ball to Morris in the end zone. Morris recovered for a safety that made it 12-7 with 4:50 left in the quarter.
 +
The Eagles expanded their lead with two second-quarter touchdowns, a 28-yard pass from Vick to tight end Brent Celek and a 3-yard Vick run.
 +
The second half began in similar fashion, as Philadelphia cornerback Cary Williams picked off a pass,[http://ihelp.ikandou.com/wiki/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Rovahomoimi#NAACP_searching_for_new_president NAACP searching for new president], giving Griffin his first career two-interception game. Two plays later, running back LeSean McCoy scooted 34 yards to make it 33-7.
 +
Morrison ran 12 times for 45 yards. Hankerson made five receptions for 80 yards and the two touchdowns.
 +
NOTES: Kerrigan was evaluated for symptoms of a concussion late in the fourth quarter. S Brandon Meriweather (groin) was inactive for the 16th time in his 17-game Redskins tenure. Washington s London Fletcher started his 200th consecutive game, joining the retired Derrick Brooks (208) as the only NFL linebackers to do so. Philadelphia only topped its 26 first half points in one full game in 2012 under former coach Andy Reid.</html>

== Will Grand Theft Auto 5 Be the Best ==
 +
 +
<html>All the  suggests that a PC version of&nbsp;GTA&nbsp;5 will eventually release. Each of the four past releases have, what would make this $265 million different? Sales on Xbox 360 and&nbsp;PS3&nbsp;will make up the majority of sales, but you should never underestimate how many PC gamers there are. All it would take is a sale on Steam to boost the figures by hundreds of thousands.
 +
The competition<br>
 +
This generation had a few major releases,[http://www.pingvinko.com/gudevil/horor/forum/index.php?topic=136664.msg235477#msg235477 Owner Of Local Hotel Robbed At Gunpoint], but they fall into one of two categories: Call of Duty and bundle titles. Call of Duty has broken the 15 million mark five years in a row with yearly releases from Treyarch and Infinity Ward. The latest release, and the last that doesn t come to&nbsp;next-gen hardware,[http://petition.su/node/1880 Engadget's back to school guide 2013- digital came], is Call of Duty: Black Ops 2,[http://objectlayers.com/node/5#comment-166776 McCain- Rebels Fighting Assad Feel Abandoned By U.S.  CBS DC], which&nbsp;is expected to settle anywhere between 25-27 million when all is said and done. That s across four major platforms,[http://66.147.244.241/~revspiri/ State industrial tribunal loses its judges as the work dries up], mind you.
 +
Bundled games are hard to quantify. The Wii s included Wii Sports has around 83 million units sold, but is included with nearly every console Nintendo sells. The same goes for Kinect Adventures which came packaged with the Kinect.
 +
The verdict<br>
 +
If I was a betting man I d say that GTA 5 will surpass its #1 competition,[http://less2sellblog.co.uk/ Dallas Cowboys Week 2 Power Rankings- Defense Carries Cowboys Up The Chart], Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, to become the best-selling game of the generation. It s not a yearly release, is highly marketable (commercials during Breaking Bad are no joke), and most importantly is Grand Theft Auto. Next week it s presence will be known by the world due to&nbsp;its massive marketing budget. Given how fantastic it looks, what a great way to end an epic generation.

== Putin's deft timing on a Syria chemical arms surrender plan ==
 +
 +
<html>It is no consolation at all to 's suffering people, stuck with 's brutal regime. But for , Russia's president and long-standing anti-western bogeyman, the decision to put military action on hold represents a signal diplomatic triumph with possible long-term strategic implications for Moscow's role in the Middle East and beyond.Putin's unexpected proposal that Syria surrender its chemical weapons to the international community comprehensively snookered a politically cornered . The White House, not Assad, was disarmed; it simply did not see it coming.Despite belated claims that the idea was , the fact is Putin, with impeccable timing, made it his own – and won instant backing from Syria, , the UN and relieved European allies.Faced with overwhelming opposition to military intervention from the American public and a near certain defeat in Congress, Obama seized on the Russian démarche with almost embarrassing eagerness. That former UN inspectors say collecting chemical weapons in the midst of Syria's civil war may be unworkable, apparently mattered little to the US president at this moment of high angst – and even less in Putin's cynical world of great power gamesmanship."Putin's goal is to play for time, to push off the talk of strikes for as long as possible,[http://www.smiracle.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=847007&extra= Everything you need to know from Apple's iPhone event], because the longer he pushes them off the less likely they are," Philippe Moreau Defarges, of the French Institute of International Relations, in Paris, . "Hats off to the Russians, those guys are master diplomats. Putin and Assad have totally won this round."For American conservatives keen on zapping Assad and supporting the rebels, the bailing out of Obama by the reviled Putin seems doubly offensive, amounting almost to a conspiracy to&nbsp;betray.: "The proposal, he [Obama] must know, is absurd. Bashar Assad isn't going to give up all his hidden weapons in wartime … But it will take time, weeks, months, for the absurdity to become obvious. And it is time the president wants. Because with time … the Syria crisis can pass. It can dissipate into the air, like gas. The president will keep the possibility of force on the table, but really he's lunging for a lifeline he was lucky to be thrown."The rightwing commentator  too: "This is not a serious alternative to military action … It is also a distraction from the real issue – which is not Assad's chemical weapons stockpile but the continuing existence of the Assad regime itself."Some American liberals are equally appalled. Bill Keller,[http://www.724link.com/blog/2013/09/george-zimmerman-domestic-violence/ George Zimmerman domestic violence], former editor of the New York Times,[http://culturemmag.com/ 9-11 events Wednesday in Southwest Florida  Naples Daily News],  if his bid to head off US military&nbsp;intervention in Syria is ultimately successful."He has stalled and possibly ended the threat that his client thug,[http://airubi.forendino.de/viewtopic.php?p=19387#19387 Rudd wants to be leader again], Assad, will be struck by American missiles for gassing his own people … He has diminished the already small prospect that the US will attempt to shift the balance in Syria's war. That sound you hear is John McCain's head exploding … He has further demoralised the Syrian resistance and strengthened the jihadi radicals among them, by demonstrating that American red lines mean little," Keller said.Putin's deft intervention may achieve much more in advancing Russian interests. By forcing the Syrian crisis back to the UN security council, with the muddle-headed assistance of France's president, , Putin can claim to be upholding the UN system and international law in the teeth of reckless American unilateralism.This is truly ironic, given that for more than two years Russia has blocked&nbsp;effective UN action. But it will play well with China and the other Brics&nbsp;countries.So, too, will Russia's apparent success in defending the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states. After Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, Moscow has been determined to prevent Syria falling prey to self-styled western liberators. This too is popular among developing world leaders, for obvious reasons.Other benefits for Putin: Assad's Syria is Russia's main Arab ally,[http://robsoukup.info/heather/ Fort Hood-  Leaders Address Suicide; Incidence Declines], a bastion of Russian influence in the Middle East, and home to its only military base outside the former Soviet Union. He has now gone a long way, with Obama's unwitting collaboration, towards preserving this relationship. He has humbled an American president, always a good result for Russian nationalists. And if Putin pulls this off, Russia's revived pretensions as a superpower rival to the US will be enhanced, as will Putin's own claims to be a global statesman and not the oft portrayed mean-spirited autocrat overseeing Russia's repressive "managed democracy".Obama famously tried to reset relations with Russia. Putin rebuffed him. Now Putin has engineered his own reset with the US, on his own terms; and for political favours received, payback will be expected. On a range of issues, from missile defence to Iran and human rights to energy supply, expect an emboldened Putin to be more bloody minded than ever.</html>

09/11/2013 10:01:34 AM MDT<br>Front Range Brewing Co. was the first brewery to open in Lafayette. Another brewery, Odd 13, opened three weeks later and by the end of the year one more is expected to open. ( | )On the eastern fringe of Boulder County, a town that just months ago was thirsting for craft beer can now raise a glass of lemon wheat beer or Eric the Red.
 +
Two breweries with taprooms opened within two weeks of each other this summer in Lafayette, a funky and eclectic town of 26,000. And by year's end they'll be joined by another brewery/restaurant featuring a head brewer from a famously off-centered East Coast brewery.
 +
"It is just a huge phenomenon that is now happening in our little corner of the world," said Vicki Trumbo, executive director of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. "People are talking more about these breweries coming in than any other industry in the past few years."
 +
Front Range Brewing Co. Front Range Brewing is co-owned by Chris Dutton and Will Boggs,[http://namihazard.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=2&id=101534&Itemid=53#101534 Genia dumped as Wallabies get brutal], who are offering experimental craft beers. ( | )opened July 13 in a shopping center. Three weeks later, on Aug. 3, Odd 13 Brewing opened in a building that housed an old cinema. And Post Brewing Co. is shooting for a November opening in a renovated Veterans of Foreign Wars building.
 +
Front Range Brewing is a dream turned reality for 37-year-old Chris Dutton, who quit his IT job to open the seven-barrel brewery in the Lafayette Marketplace with used and repurposed equipment.
 +
"This is just one of those places that didn't have any craft-beer breweries, and people had a thirst," Dutton said.
 +
Dutton, a homebrewer for several years, is focusing on experimental brews, including barrel-aged beers, and will also have some mainstays.
 +
"You have to do that delicate balance," he said, "of brewing what you want and doing business."
 +
A recent lineup featured a farmhouse ale, blonde,[http://democratia-online.ro/ Fourth porn actor tests HIV], IPA, wheat, imperial milk stout and lemon wheat beer. But his other concoctions sound very interesting, including a joint effort with  for a sweet-potato brown ale.
 +
Odd 13 owner and head brewer Ryan Scott also was a home brewer for several years. He hopes to pattern his 10-barrel system after California's hugely successful Russian River Brewing Co., with American-style hoppy beers next to Belgians and sours.
 +
"Lafayette has welcomed us with open arms," said Scott, 34,[http://forum.yucmex.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=103798 Hedge fund builds stake in News Corp], who still works at a software company in Boulder during the day.
 +
By night and on the weekends and while on vacation, Scott has been brewing. He said he almost cannot keep up with demand, so he has hired another brewer.
 +
His most popular beer is Eric the Red, with the hoppiness of an IPA in a red ale.
 +
A few blocks away, Post Brewing Co. is under construction in the former Veterans of Foreign Wars Mile High Post. It will be a 15-barrel brewery and chicken joint under the The Big Red F Restaurant Group's banner, which also owns and operates Jax Fish Houses, Lola in Denver and the West End Tavern in Boulder. The main chef will be Brett Smith, who is now at Zolo in Boulder.
 +
The head brewer will be Bryan Selders, formerly head brewer at Delaware's famed Dogfish Head Brewery, where he worked for nine years before quitting in 2011 to explore graphic arts. Selders also was featured in the brief reality show about Dogfish Head, "Brew Masters,[http://thedietlogs.com/ Bartendro cocktail mixing robot lands on Kickstarter, wields Raspberry Pi (video)]," which aired on the Discovery Channel.
 +
A few months ago, Selders said he answered an ad for a brewmaster at Post and said he got a phone call back within an hour. He wanted to get back into brewing, and his wife's sister lives in Lafayette, so the Post gig was a perfect fit.
 +
"What I would like to do is nice solid beers that are intriguing, beers you want to come back to, not unapproachable beers, but still interesting," he said.
 +
The Lafayette Urban Renewal Authority in July approved a $75,[http://ptbnu.hstc.edu.cn/bbs/myfile.asp?id=91508 The NSA's 'mad scientist'],000 loan to Big Red F for the project.
 +
"It is a really cool town," Selders said. "I think the opening of these breweries is going to be a really powerful thing for us as brewers. It will be a nice thing to have brothers in arms right around the corner to support each other and help each other."
 +
Beer notes&nbsp;

Echo Brewing Co., which opened in 2012 in the Weld County town of Frederick,  and won Best in Show for its Balefire Irish Red. The competition drew 327 entries, up from 192 last year ... Denver's inventive Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project . That means rare-beer hunters need look no further than area bottle shops for gypsy breweries Evil Twin Brewing and Stillwater Artisanal Ales, and some hard-to-find Belgian ales ... Now that the Food and Drug Administration finally has defined "gluten-free," . The half-barrel Wheat Ridge brewery which claims to be Colorado's smallest pulls it off by adding an enzyme at the beginning of fermentation.
