Dan Fouts or Joe Montana. Dan Marino or John Elway. A few years from now, Peyllln Manning will be forever placed into one category of the NFL's greatest quarterbacks - those who have won Super Bow Is and those who haven't. He's got to get there llrst, though, and his next chance is coming soon. Will the Colts-Patriots game Sunday amount to a defining moment, an all-ornothing opportunity for Manning, who is currently The Greatest Quarterback to Never Make a Super Bowl? If he wins. maybe history will see it that way. If he doesn't - well, certainly he' ll have other chances. Won't he'' His coach and teammates hate that it always seems to come to this. "It's totally unfair to him," tight end Dallas Clark said. "He has his job to do and he can't do anything else. It's sad, but that's why you guys do what you do: He handles it great. He's a professional." Manning was not available for interviews Wednesday. The Colts chose to delav his availability until Friday. when he'll undoubtedly offer the candid, introspective, realistic thoughts on the subject that he has repeated many times over his nine years in the NFL. It's a career filled with records. Pro Bowls. MVP awards. But he is 5-6 in the playotls with an 0-2 record against New England's Tom Brady, I he Iess-spectacu Iar quarterback who has always been best when the stakes have been the highest.

Manning was the llrst pick of the 1998 draft - the kind of player who has ''legacy" attached to his name before he takes a snap. "I don't know that he'll be judged against Tom Brady," Colts coach Tony Dungy said. "But every quarterback will be judged against Joe Montana and Terry Bmdshaw and Ban Starr and guys who have won Super Bowls. That's the way it is. I think we have appreciation now for Dan Marino and Boomer Esiason and Dan Fouts and guys who haven 't won it. But at the time, we talk about how many Super Bowls you've won. As time ~oes by, hi~!ory is a little easter on you. Manning. of course, is hoping he won't need friendly historians to cemem his legacy. A Super Bowl ring is the easiest - maybe the . only - way to avoid that. . ·1s th at he fimds Funny lh mg himsell on the cusp of the Super Bowl again Manning's second appearance in the AFC championship game - after a most un-Peyton-like run through the playoffs. He has 438 yards in two games, fewer than he recorded in his second playoff blowout over the Broncos in 2004. He has one touchdown pass and five interceptions. His quarterback raung is 58.3. Yet just as he has struggled, the defense that has often derailed Indy's Super Bowl hopes has also been uncllaracteristic -· allowing only a single touchdown and an average of 63.5 rushing yards in two games. "The NFL has a funny way of highlighting the quarterbacks, like it's Peyton versus Brady,'' defensive end Dwight Freeney said. "That's all right for the media, the fans and the game, but there's a lot more going on out there than just two quarterbacks going at it" .Still, as a defensive endeven a great defensive end - Freeney will never be held under the spotlight the way a quarterback would.

The street lights still worked. No one had to worry about mold or rotting timber. And there wasn't a FEMA trailer in sight. · The scene late Sunday night in San Diego seemed entirely normal for a city shaken by the loss of a team most thought was headed to the Super Bowl. The biggest worry might have been whether the smt would be up the next morning. Life isn't so easy in the Big Easy, where the Saints are carrying a city on their shoulders. Those who are still there worry about more mundane things, like where they will be living six months from now. Others are scattered about the country wondering whether they will ever make it back. To them, the Saints represent a link to a life they no longer know. One of them wrote a colleague of mine the other day to tell her just how deep that link is: "My family has been in Austin, Texas, since Katrina with a five-year plan to move back to the city we love," he wrote. "We wept when the Saints played Monday Night Football and the bands pla~ed "When September Ends. ' I even pray to God about something as silly as a football team. Our hurt is deep and the Saints soothe our sadness and tum our tears to joy." -~ If only it was that simple. If only New Orleans could be reborn like the Saints. The Saints play the Chicago Bears on Sunday, and nothing that happens at Soldier Field is going to get houses rebuilt any sooner or put families back together any quicker. A trip to the Super Bowl may rest on the outcome, but in the end it's just a game, like any other. Still, if ever a city needed a team in the Super Bowl, it's New Orleans. · In San Diego the other day I watched as some 68,000 fans left quickly and quietly after the Chargers blew a golden opportunity against New England. Naturally, they were bitterly disappointed that a team with an open path to a Super B,owl was done for the season. But they didn't have to go home to a neighborhood they still don't recognize. I wasn't in New Orleans to watch the Saints beat the Eagles. The last time I was there, it was a disaster. Literally. The National Guard was just arriving in force and we drove over a deserted bridge into a city ravaged by Katrina. The streets were littered in broken glass or covered in water, and bodies still lay rotting in the heat. I usually write about spor1s. A world full of feel-good stories, like the one the Saints hope to write at NFC championship game. This was real, though. And really ugly. Iliadn't be'en in town more than a few hours when I was walk.ing door to door in a poor neighborhood trying to find the husband of a woman whose body was found on a street. A passer-by thought she deserved more dignity in death and piled some bncks around her for a makeshi"ft memorial. He spmypainted a message on the sheet that covered her body. "Here lies Vera," it said. "God help us." New Orleans needed the Saints like no other team has ever been needed by a city.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The United States criticized China on Thursday for conducting an anti-satellite weapons test in which an old Chinese weather satellite was destroyed by a missile. The Bush administration has kept a lid on the test for a week as it weighs its significance. Analysts said China' s weather satellites would travel at about the same altitude as U.S. spy satellites, so the test represented an indirect threat to U.S. defense systems. "The United States believes China's development and testing of such weapons is inconsistent with the spirit of cooperation that both countries aspire to in the civil space area," National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "We and other countries have expressed our concern to the Chinese." Japan,for example, demanded a full explanation from Beijing, Japan's top government spokesman said Friday. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki also suggested that China's lack of transparency over its military development could trigger suspicions about its motives in the region. "From the viewpoint of the peaceful use of space and security. the Japanese government is naturally concerned about this act of destroying an artificial satellite with a ballistic missile ," Shiozaki told reporters in Tokyo.

LOZANO countries "are in accord on the peaceful uses of space." The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, told Congress last week in his annual threat address that China and Russia are the "primary states of concern" re garding military space programs. "Several countries continue to develop capabilities that have the potential to threaten U.S. space assets, and some have already deploy ed systems with inherent anti·S\Itellite capabilities. such'. its satellite· tracking laser range-findin g devices and nuclear-armed ballistic missiles," he said in his written testimon y on Jan .

In October, President Bush signed an order asserting the United States' right to deny adversaries access to space for hostile purposes. As part of the first revision of U.S . space policy in nearly I 0 years, the policy also said the United States would oppose the development of treaties or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space . "Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power," the policy said. "In order to Increase knowledge, discovery, economic prosperity and to enhance the national security. the United States must have robust. effective and efficient space capabilities ... Precisely what drove China to act now remain s a mystery. But the Uni ted -tesl States has to tigure out how to respond. said John Pike, a satellite expert at globalsecurity.org . Since the mid-1980s, the United States has had the ability to take down satellites. but the Chinese don't have satellites worth attacking, Pike said. The United States may have to develop alternatives to its current spy satellites - perhaps stealthy satellites or unmanned aerial vehicles, which are harder to detect than the current wellestablished U.S. satellite network. Reconnaissance satellites in low-Earth orbit - ''eyes in the sky" - are essential to how the United States tights wars. "Our space assets are the first asset on the scene," Pike said. "They are absolutely central to why we are a superpower - a signature component to America's style of warfare." The Defense Department declined to comment on the test. Adm.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - The United States criticized China on Thursday for conducting an anti-satellite weapons test in which an old Chinese weather satellite was destroyed by a missile. The Bush administration has kept a lid on the test for a week as it weighs its significance. Analysts said China' s weather satellites would travel at about the same altitude as U.S. spy satellites, so the test represented an indirect threat to U.S. defense systems. "The United States believes China's development and testing of such weapons is inconsistent with the spirit of cooperation that both countries aspire to in the civil space area," National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "We and other countries have expressed our concern to the Chinese." Japan,for example, demanded a full explanation from Beijing, Japan's top government spokesman said Friday. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki also suggested that China's lack of transparency over its military development could trigger suspicions about its motives in the region. "From the viewpoint of the peaceful use of space and security. the Japanese government is naturally concerned about this act of destroying an artificial satellite with a ballistic missile ," Shiozaki told reporters in Tokyo.

LOZANO countries "are in accord on the peaceful uses of space." The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, told Congress last week in his annual threat address that China and Russia are the "primary states of concern" re garding military space programs. "Several countries continue to develop capabilities that have the potential to threaten U.S. space assets, and some have already deploy ed systems with inherent anti·S\Itellite capabilities. such'. its satellite· tracking laser range-findin g devices and nuclear-armed ballistic missiles," he said in his written testimon y on Jan . II , the same day China's test was conducted. The test, first reported by Aviation Week, destroy ed the satellite by hitting it with a kinetic kill vehicle launched on board a ballistic missile . In October, President Bush signed an order asserting the United States' right to deny adversaries access to space for hostile purposes. As part of the first revision of U.S . space policy in nearly I 0 years, the policy also said the United States would oppose the development of treaties or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space . "Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power," the policy said. "In order to Increase knowledge, discovery, economic prosperity and to enhance the national security. the United States must have robust. effective and efficient space capabilities ... Precisely what drove China to act now remain s a mystery. But the Uni ted -tesl States has to tigure out how to respond. said John Pike, a satellite expert at globalsecurity.org . Since the mid-1980s, the United States has had the ability to take down satellites. but the Chinese don't have satellites worth attacking, Pike said. The United States may have to develop alternatives to its current spy satellites - perhaps stealthy satellites or unmanned aerial vehicles, which are harder to detect than the current wellestablished U.S. satellite network. Reconnaissance satellites in low-Earth orbit - ''eyes in the sky" - are essential to how the United States tights wars. "Our space assets are the first asset on the scene," Pike said. "They are absolutely central to why we are a superpower - a signature component to America's style of warfare." The Defense Department declined to comment on the test. Adm.

Thou~ht for Today: "Truth is not a diet but a condiment." - Chnstopher Darlington Morley, American journalist ( 1890-1957). LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OPINION -·-··' - -- Friday,January19,2007 Friday, January 19, 2007 :·obituaries Just what are Oprah Winfreys core beliefs? Faithful members of Oprah Winfrey 's TV flock know what's happening when guests start talking and their leader keeps interjecting the occasional "Amen," "Preach it" or even, "Sister, I understand the whole God connection!" The host wants the guest to start "testifying," a confessional process in which believers look for God's healing hand in life's hard lessons. Winfrey learned all about this process as a girl back in the Faith United Mississippi Baptist Church, where jealous peers often called her "Miss Jesus." But here 's the irony. noted journalist Marcia Nelson, author of "The Gospel According to Oprah:" Winfrey has become a billionaire and one of world's most powerful women by baring her soul and urging millions of others to follow her example, resulting in what some critics call the ';Oprahfication" of America. However, it 's almost impossible to answer this simple question: What does Oprah believe'! "She sounds like a person who was raised in a Baptist church," said Nelson, who spent months digging into Winfrey's beliefs on suffering, gratitude, generosity, forgiveness and other spiritual topics. "Siill, it's hard to put a label on Oprah because she refuses to let people do that to her.... You'd have to say that she looks a lot more like a Protestant than she does a Catholic. but what Terry Mattingly does that mean~ It 's hard to say what a person needs to believe these day s to be called a ·Protestant.· " Winfrey retains the ability to slip smoothly into the ;'mother tongue" she learned as a child in black churches, noted Nelson. For a few years as an adult, she attended the Trinity United Church of Christ, a progressive congregation in Chicago known as Sen. Barack Obama's home church. Then. during her " Remember Your Spirit" period in the 1990s, conservatives criticized her ties to Marianne Williamson ("A Return to Love") and other New Age writers who blurred the lines between Christianity and other faiths. The key is that Winfrey has been a trailblazer who symbolizes many contemporary religious trends. • Miiny Americans, said Nelson, are drawn to a ;.practical, how-to, selfhelp. just-do-it" approach to faith and personal growth that meshes smoothly with the parade of counselors, doetors, writers and ministers- of every conceivable faith - featured on aThe Oprah Winfrey Show."

I suggest that we stop trying ·to force Russia into a Western mold for which it is wholly unprepared. In the long run- by which I mean several decades - Russia's attention is sure to be drawn ever more forcibly to the growth of China, with which it shares a 4,000-mile border. As China grows, prospers, and expands its military, the vast spaces of Siberia and other parts of eastern Russia are bound to look appetizing. Russia, even if its population stops shrinking, will be no match for it Where can it look for allies and protectors, if not to the West? And the West, led by the United States. will have its own profound reservations about the expansion of Chinese power. In the long run, therefore, the "problem" of Russia will solve itself.

Beach approached the women at the table where they sat and he "had some words" with Peifer. When pressed about specifics, Cardillo said she didn't hear the conversation but it apparently upset Peifer. 'They weren' t good words, because she was crying," Cardillo said. Peifer then said they had to leave and Beach left the table. After the women exited the front door, Beach followed Peifer and told her to come home with him. She refused, and Beach slapped her, which knocked her to the sidewalk, Cardillo said.

Thou~ht for Today: "Truth is not a diet but a condiment." - Chnstopher Darlington Morley, American journalist ( 1890-1957). LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OPINION -·-··' - -- Friday,January19,2007 Friday, January 19, 2007 :·obituaries Just what are Oprah Winfreys core beliefs? Faithful members of Oprah Winfrey 's TV flock know what's happening when guests start talking and their leader keeps interjecting the occasional "Amen," "Preach it" or even, "Sister, I understand the whole God connection!" The host wants the guest to start "testifying," a confessional process in which believers look for God's healing hand in life's hard lessons. Winfrey learned all about this process as a girl back in the Faith United Mississippi Baptist Church, where jealous peers often called her "Miss Jesus." But here 's the irony. noted journalist Marcia Nelson, author of "The Gospel According to Oprah:" Winfrey has become a billionaire and one of world's most powerful women by baring her soul and urging millions of others to follow her example, resulting in what some critics call the ';Oprahfication" of America. However, it 's almost impossible to answer this simple question: What does Oprah believe'! "She sounds like a person who was raised in a Baptist church," said Nelson, who spent months digging into Winfrey's beliefs on suffering, gratitude, generosity, forgiveness and other spiritual topics. "Siill, it's hard to put a label on Oprah because she refuses to let people do that to her.... You'd have to say that she looks a lot more like a Protestant than she does a Catholic. but what Terry Mattingly does that mean~ It 's hard to say what a person needs to believe these day s to be called a ·Protestant.· " Winfrey retains the ability to slip smoothly into the ;'mother tongue" she learned as a child in black churches, noted Nelson. For a few years as an adult, she attended the Trinity United Church of Christ, a progressive congregation in Chicago known as Sen. Barack Obama's home church. Then. during her " Remember Your Spirit" period in the 1990s, conservatives criticized her ties to Marianne Williamson ("A Return to Love") and other New Age writers who blurred the lines between Christianity and other faiths. The key is that Winfrey has been a trailblazer who symbolizes many contemporary religious trends. • Miiny Americans, said Nelson, are drawn to a ;.practical, how-to, selfhelp. just-do-it" approach to faith and personal growth that meshes smoothly with the parade of counselors, doetors, writers and ministers- of every conceivable faith - featured on aThe Oprah Winfrey Show."

Russia, even if its population stops shrinking, will be no match for it Where can it look for allies and protectors, if not to the West? And the West, led by the United States. will have its own profound reservations about the expansion of Chinese power. In the long run, therefore, the "problem" of Russia will solve itself.

Beach approached the women at the table where they sat and he "had some words" with Peifer. When pressed about specifics, Cardillo said she didn't hear the conversation but it apparently upset Peifer. 'They weren' t good words, because she was crying," Cardillo said. Peifer then said they had to leave and Beach left the table. After the women exited the front door, Beach followed Peifer and told her to come home with him. She refused, and Beach slapped her, which knocked her to the sidewalk, Cardillo said.

"Jes11 s of Nazareth, a 1111111 approred of God among you by miracles... (;\cis 2.22b NKJV) "Jesus said to her, 'Did I not tell you that if yo11 wo11/d beliere you would ,ee tlu glory of God." (}o/111 11.40, RSV) Rev. Jonathan Noble PASTOR , TRINITY CHURCH We li ve in a reall y ve ry cynical age. especially with whm concerns the supernatural and miraculou s. The m ntemporary attitude toward "signs and wonders" is. eve n among many Christians, largely that of 20th centu ry American philosuphcr Geor1!c Sat1tavana. "Mirac les 'are propitious accidents." he wrote. "the natural L·auses of which are too complicated to be readill' understood." Of course. tlii s begs the question: If the natural cau ses are beyo nd understanding, then what JUstilication is there for ass uming the causes are I natu ra l rather than supernatural? St ill. many people might give lip service to at least the possibility Of miracles without really expecting the miraculous, which is reallv utterly preposterous for Chri sti ans. After all , the whole of the Christian Faith · is founded upon the miraculous. the greatest being the concept ion of God in the womb of a virgin who later gave birth to One that was. and is , fully di vine and full y human . Many well-intentioned believers will argue that miracles, while some do still occur periodically. are largely phenomena of the past. One may read about supernatuml signs and wonders in the Old Testament , the Gospels, the Book of Acts and such ... but one should not expect anything of the like to transpire today. Why not' If the Spirit of the very God of the universe comes to dwell within an individual. finite. human believer (See I Corinthians 3.16) who is "·then actually made a '" partaker of the divine nature' (See 2 Peter 1.4) how much more miraculous could anything be' Or perhaps the better question is, what do we honestly believe' The whole of the Christian life today (not simply the Christian life of yesterday) is miraculous by its very nature. That we can approach f f God in prayer as "Abba. Father" i' itself a wondrous reality. (See Romans 8.15) And we are invited to "come boldly to the throne of grace" (Hebrews 4.16) to "cast all our cares on Him" (I Peter 5.7) confident that the Lord will "do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think." (Ephesians 3.20) Sounds like a recipe flJI' miracles. And why not? After all we are dealing with Almighty God, the Creator who sustains the whole of the created order all-powerful. all knowing and everywhere present - and a miracle is only an event (or happening . occurrence) outside the "ordinary" course of things "'manifesting divine intervention," as one dictionary has it. So is our God limited or restricted now to what we consider the "ordinary?" l-Ias the Lord somehow been hamstrung, now unable to manifest Himself in extraordinary ways? Or perhaps we simply expect too little? Worse even than this is the possibility that we really do not believe in the dynamic, personal God of Holy Scripture but rather in some impersonal cosmic force that regulates life and the universe with cold, exacting calculation. Could it be that God is working in extraordinary ways all around us, everyday but we are either blind or, like Santayana, write off all these little miracles as "propitious accidents ... too complicated to be readily understood?" Rather than grinding through an ordinary (and oftentimes really rather vacuous) life as little more than nominal Christians, why not exercise a bit of genuine faith, believe with real anticipation and expect to see the power and glory of God? Why not, beginning this year, expect not only a miracle but an extraordinary, miraculous life? f ( ( ' One afternoon not so long ago. my youngest son had been asked by my wife to tidy up some of his playthings. Noting that he was having some difficulty in breaking the cleanup project into manageable parts, his mother suggested stacking some toys in one corner, putting his collection of some other toy s into their respective containers, as well as hanging recently washed clothes in the closet. After she had listed off these things, he apparently assumed that he was to do them all simultaneously and exclaimed with full sincerity, "Mom, how do you expect me to do that'' I'm not Rubber Band Man, you know'" I'm sure that my wife inwardly laughed at his innocent astonishment at what seemed to him to be an overwhelming barrage of responsibilities, but once he understood what it was that she was truly asking, he was greatly relieved and immediately began to comply, one project at a time. This little incident amused me but also reminded me of the "Type A" mentality that can be found even in the Church. How often do we as Christians come under the influence of thinking that we must "do it all" for God? In some ways. such attitudes are the result of our conforming to the worldly attitude that our value is wound up in what we can accomplish, whom we can tmpress, and/or what we can accumulate in life. And not only does the world-at-large mercilessly slap us with the fear that we aren't measuring up, such seeds are often nurtured by the misconception that God is sitting on His throne waiting for chances to criticize us. Pastor Thom Mollohan While it IS true that we do not measure up to the righteousness of God in our own strength, through God 's offer of grace, we find , when we' ve placed our faith in the atoning work of Jesus, that we are not require~ "to measure up" - because the righteousness of Christ is credited to us. "What then shall we say that Abraham. our forefather, discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about - but not before God. What does the Scripture say? ' Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.' Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However. to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness ... 'Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him"' (Romans 4:15,7-8 NIV). While there i~ no room to disfute the fact that we all fal shon of God's glory (and yes, this means you, too: see Romans 3:23), we are no longer obligated to attempt to be "perfect" since we, who have been saved, '"are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by you had to be . In fact, the only "place" He wants you to be is in right relationship wi th Himse lf. That kind of relat ionship is a humble. day-by-day dependence upon Him, coupled with a -;im ple yet passionate devotion to the God Who loves you so much that you were in Hi s mind before the first star was ~~c r hung in the dome of heaven. So don·t gd eA.asperated with how hig a job it 's going H> he to ~et your life cleaned up enoug h for God. And don't take on the airs of someone who thinks he has. The project is too big for that. Instead, take wmfort in knowing that God is leading you on a transformati-:e journey. As you seek Htm m prayer, read and consider His Word, and connect with others of God's children through the body of a local church family, He will take your trusting obedience and help you to tidy up your life one step at a time all because Jesus gave His life for you. Maybe the task of living out your Christian life seems like too big a "stretch" at times, but God's Spirit, moving in you. cuts the job down to size. "If you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, ¥OU will live, ·because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God" (Romans 8:1314 NIV): Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:24 NIV). And if that is the t:ase, what then does God expect'' If we are not required hy our Sovereign God to have "our act together," just what is it that He wants from us'' "If the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you. He Who raised Christ from the dead "ill al'o give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit. Who lives in you. Therefore. brothers. we ha ve an obli gation - but it is not to the sinful nature, to li ve according to it ... I urge you, brothers, in view of God 's mercy, to offer your hodies as li ving sacrifices, hol y and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worshtp. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world. but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve "hat God's will is - Hi, good. pleasing and perfect will" 1Romans 8: 1112 . 12: 1-2 NIVl. You · rc probably not "Rubber B<md Man" either. So instead of trying to rush about proving that you ' re somebody by what you' ve done. what you· ve gotlen. or who you know. remember that in the end. none of these things justifies you (makes you "right") in God's eyes and tends to interfere with His goal of being your first love inasmuch as you forsake the cultivating of your relationship with Him by spending yourself in everything BUT Him. Sure. God wants you to do good deeds but for such service to be of any value to Him (or to you, too, for that matter), it must be in the context of your abiding IN Him, your deep affection FOR Him, and your earnest submission TO Him. Can't be everywhere at once? God never said that (Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past II years.

Friday, January 19, 2007 BEIJING (AP) - The Rev. Joseph Meng Ziwen, a Roman Catholic clergyman in China since the 1930s who secretly served as a bishop to underground congregations while working as a priest in the Communist Party-sanctioned church, has died at I03.

AsiaNews, a Vaticanaffiliated news agency, said Meng died from liver cancer. Meng secretly served from 1984 to 2003 as bishop to underground churches, which operate outside the state-sanctioned system, according to a biographr released by the Holy Sptrit Study Center, a Catholic research center in Hong Kong.

Meng was ordained a bi shop in 1984 in China's underground church, according to the Holy Spirit Study Center. Its biography quoted Meng as saying that when a Chinese official asked him whether he really was a bishop and who appointed him, he replied, "I was chosen bv the Catholic Church and that is enough for me." ground churches that remain loyal to the Vatican in defiance of a 1951 order by the ruling party for China's Catholics to sever ties with Rome. Born in 1903, Meng studied in Malaysia . was ordained a priest in 1935 and later served as a seminary teacher. the Holy Spirit Study Center's biography said.

"Jes11 s of Nazareth, a 1111111 approred of God among you by miracles... (;\cis 2.22b NKJV) "Jesus said to her, 'Did I not tell you that if yo11 wo11/d beliere you would ,ee tlu glory of God." (}o/111 11.40, RSV) Rev. Jonathan Noble PASTOR , TRINITY CHURCH We li ve in a reall y ve ry cynical age. especially with whm concerns the supernatural and miraculou s. The m ntemporary attitude toward "signs and wonders" is. eve n among many Christians, largely that of 20th centu ry American philosuphcr Geor1!c Sat1tavana. "Mirac les 'are propitious accidents." he wrote. "the natural L·auses of which are too complicated to be readill' understood." Of course. tlii s begs the question: If the natural cau ses are beyo nd understanding, then what JUstilication is there for ass uming the causes are I natu ra l rather than supernatural? St ill. many people might give lip service to at least the possibility Of miracles without really expecting the miraculous, which is reallv utterly preposterous for Chri sti ans. After all , the whole of the Christian Faith · is founded upon the miraculous. the greatest being the concept ion of God in the womb of a virgin who later gave birth to One that was. and is , fully di vine and full y human . Many well-intentioned believers will argue that miracles, while some do still occur periodically. are largely phenomena of the past. One may read about supernatuml signs and wonders in the Old Testament , the Gospels, the Book of Acts and such ... but one should not expect anything of the like to transpire today. Why not' If the Spirit of the very God of the universe comes to dwell within an individual. finite. human believer (See I Corinthians 3.16) who is "·then actually made a '" partaker of the divine nature' (See 2 Peter 1.4) how much more miraculous could anything be' Or perhaps the better question is, what do we honestly believe' The whole of the Christian life today (not simply the Christian life of yesterday) is miraculous by its very nature. That we can approach f f God in prayer as "Abba. Father" i' itself a wondrous reality. (See Romans 8.15) And we are invited to "come boldly to the throne of grace" (Hebrews 4.16) to "cast all our cares on Him" (I Peter 5.7) confident that the Lord will "do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think." (Ephesians 3.20) Sounds like a recipe flJI' miracles. And why not? After all we are dealing with Almighty God, the Creator who sustains the whole of the created order all-powerful. all knowing and everywhere present - and a miracle is only an event (or happening . occurrence) outside the "ordinary" course of things "'manifesting divine intervention," as one dictionary has it. So is our God limited or restricted now to what we consider the "ordinary?" l-Ias the Lord somehow been hamstrung, now unable to manifest Himself in extraordinary ways? Or perhaps we simply expect too little? Worse even than this is the possibility that we really do not believe in the dynamic, personal God of Holy Scripture but rather in some impersonal cosmic force that regulates life and the universe with cold, exacting calculation. Could it be that God is working in extraordinary ways all around us, everyday but we are either blind or, like Santayana, write off all these little miracles as "propitious accidents ... too complicated to be readily understood?" Rather than grinding through an ordinary (and oftentimes really rather vacuous) life as little more than nominal Christians, why not exercise a bit of genuine faith, believe with real anticipation and expect to see the power and glory of God? Why not, beginning this year, expect not only a miracle but an extraordinary, miraculous life? f ( ( ' One afternoon not so long ago. my youngest son had been asked by my wife to tidy up some of his playthings. Noting that he was having some difficulty in breaking the cleanup project into manageable parts, his mother suggested stacking some toys in one corner, putting his collection of some other toy s into their respective containers, as well as hanging recently washed clothes in the closet. After she had listed off these things, he apparently assumed that he was to do them all simultaneously and exclaimed with full sincerity, "Mom, how do you expect me to do that'' I'm not Rubber Band Man, you know'" I'm sure that my wife inwardly laughed at his innocent astonishment at what seemed to him to be an overwhelming barrage of responsibilities, but once he understood what it was that she was truly asking, he was greatly relieved and immediately began to comply, one project at a time. This little incident amused me but also reminded me of the "Type A" mentality that can be found even in the Church. How often do we as Christians come under the influence of thinking that we must "do it all" for God? In some ways. such attitudes are the result of our conforming to the worldly attitude that our value is wound up in what we can accomplish, whom we can tmpress, and/or what we can accumulate in life. And not only does the world-at-large mercilessly slap us with the fear that we aren't measuring up, such seeds are often nurtured by the misconception that God is sitting on His throne waiting for chances to criticize us. Pastor Thom Mollohan While it IS true that we do not measure up to the righteousness of God in our own strength, through God 's offer of grace, we find , when we' ve placed our faith in the atoning work of Jesus, that we are not require~ "to measure up" - because the righteousness of Christ is credited to us. "What then shall we say that Abraham. our forefather, discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about - but not before God. What does the Scripture say? ' Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.' Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However. to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness ... 'Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him"' (Romans 4:15,7-8 NIV). While there i~ no room to disfute the fact that we all fal shon of God's glory (and yes, this means you, too: see Romans 3:23), we are no longer obligated to attempt to be "perfect" since we, who have been saved, '"are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by you had to be . In fact, the only "place" He wants you to be is in right relationship wi th Himse lf. That kind of relat ionship is a humble. day-by-day dependence upon Him, coupled with a -;im ple yet passionate devotion to the God Who loves you so much that you were in Hi s mind before the first star was ~~c r hung in the dome of heaven. So don·t gd eA.asperated with how hig a job it 's going H> he to ~et your life cleaned up enoug h for God. And don't take on the airs of someone who thinks he has. The project is too big for that. Instead, take wmfort in knowing that God is leading you on a transformati-:e journey. As you seek Htm m prayer, read and consider His Word, and connect with others of God's children through the body of a local church family, He will take your trusting obedience and help you to tidy up your life one step at a time all because Jesus gave His life for you. Maybe the task of living out your Christian life seems like too big a "stretch" at times, but God's Spirit, moving in you. cuts the job down to size. "If you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, ¥OU will live, ·because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God" (Romans 8:1314 NIV): Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:24 NIV). And if that is the t:ase, what then does God expect'' If we are not required hy our Sovereign God to have "our act together," just what is it that He wants from us'' "If the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you. He Who raised Christ from the dead "ill al'o give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit. Who lives in you. Therefore. brothers. we ha ve an obli gation - but it is not to the sinful nature, to li ve according to it ... I urge you, brothers, in view of God 's mercy, to offer your hodies as li ving sacrifices, hol y and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worshtp. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world. but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve "hat God's will is - Hi, good. pleasing and perfect will" 1Romans 8: 1112 . 12: 1-2 NIVl. You · rc probably not "Rubber B<md Man" either. So instead of trying to rush about proving that you ' re somebody by what you' ve done. what you· ve gotlen. or who you know. remember that in the end. none of these things justifies you (makes you "right") in God's eyes and tends to interfere with His goal of being your first love inasmuch as you forsake the cultivating of your relationship with Him by spending yourself in everything BUT Him. Sure. God wants you to do good deeds but for such service to be of any value to Him (or to you, too, for that matter), it must be in the context of your abiding IN Him, your deep affection FOR Him, and your earnest submission TO Him. Can't be everywhere at once? God never said that (Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past II years.

Friday, January 19, 2007 BEIJING (AP) - The Rev. Joseph Meng Ziwen, a Roman Catholic clergyman in China since the 1930s who secretly served as a bishop to underground congregations while working as a priest in the Communist Party-sanctioned church, has died at I03. Meng died Jan. 7 in the southern city of Nanning, where he was a priest for the state-backed Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association. An official with the association, which oversees Catholic churches, I j I I I ( confirmed the death but would not disclose a cause. AsiaNews, a Vaticanaffiliated news agency, said Meng died from liver cancer. Meng secretly served from 1984 to 2003 as bishop to underground churches, which operate outside the state-sanctioned system, according to a biographr released by the Holy Sptrit Study Center, a Catholic research center in Hong Kong. Tens of millions of Chinese worship in under- I I ( j ( said. It said that after his release, he helped rebuild the church in the Nanning area by training young Chinese priests. Meng was ordained a bi shop in 1984 in China's underground church, according to the Holy Spirit Study Center. Its biography quoted Meng as saying that when a Chinese official asked him whether he really was a bishop and who appointed him, he replied, "I was chosen bv the Catholic Church and that is enough for me." ground churches that remain loyal to the Vatican in defiance of a 1951 order by the ruling party for China's Catholics to sever ties with Rome. Born in 1903, Meng studied in Malaysia . was ordained a priest in 1935 and later served as a seminary teacher. the Holy Spirit Study Center's biography said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS- A report released Thursday shows tuition at Ohio's public uni· versities costs nearly 50 percent more than the national average, a fact col , lege presidents will use ·to press Gov. Ted Strickland for additional state money that could hold the line on tuition, reduce class sizes and hire more full-time instructors. Average tuition for a fouryear public university in Ohio IS $8,553 - 47 per· cent higher than the national average of $5,836, according to the state Board of Regents' annual performance1report. Tuition at a main university campus ranged from $11,738 at Miami University in Oxford to $5,294 at Central State University in Wilberforce. Without laying blame, the report attributes Ohio's high tuition rates to lack of state support. "In order for this state to have a higher education sys· tern that is affordable to consumers, the state clearly needs to increase its support," said University of Akron President Luis Proenza. College presidents will gather in Columbus next week to meet with Strickland, Proenza said. The report is intended to show Strickland. a Democrat who took office two weeks ago. and fddly'e 30' I 27' Gl~o Bukotbllll OVCS vs. S.Gallia (a1 Rio Grande), 6 p.m. W..oHing *Columbus 28' I 25" Galli& Academy at WSAZ Invite, TBA Slturdly'a IMmtl Boyo Bookolboll Cincinnati · '!I'!Jt...._ t:_:) Wahama at Meigs, 6:30p.m .

Strickland, whose campaign included promises to .make higher education more affordable, cautioned Thursday that his upcoming budget pror,osal will be tigtu and l1kely w•ll tall below the maximum 3.5 spending increase allowed by state law. During last year's campaign, Strickland proposed using state money to fund college savings accounts for every child whose parents make a $15 ·minimum investment. The state would make an initial contribution . of $500 and an additional $100 annually until the child reaches I&. That plan is bein~ consid· ered for Strickland s budget proposal, Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey said. Despite budget restraints, Strickland can look to another part of the bud~et to find more money for htgher education, said Matthew Filipic, a vice president at Wright State University and a former assistant state budget director. Medicaid expenditures were $350 milhon below estimates as of November, according to the latest report by the state Office of Budget and Management. "That's the only window. the only opening I'm aware of that can be used for new investments in colleges and universities," Filipic said. e:: ) ~ Thunder~ c~ Flurrios r~ Ice s;orms ~ ~ ~ ~ ·._ \, ,. , ····· . •~• • ~ .

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS- A report released Thursday shows tuition at Ohio's public uni· versities costs nearly 50 percent more than the national average, a fact col , lege presidents will use ·to press Gov. Ted Strickland for additional state money that could hold the line on tuition, reduce class sizes and hire more full-time instructors. Average tuition for a fouryear public university in Ohio IS $8,553 - 47 per· cent higher than the national average of $5,836, according to the state Board of Regents' annual performance1report. Tuition at a main university campus ranged from $11,738 at Miami University in Oxford to $5,294 at Central State University in Wilberforce. Without laying blame, the report attributes Ohio's high tuition rates to lack of state support. "In order for this state to have a higher education sys· tern that is affordable to consumers, the state clearly needs to increase its support," said University of Akron President Luis Proenza. College presidents will gather in Columbus next week to meet with Strickland, Proenza said.

Strickland, whose campaign included promises to .make higher education more affordable, cautioned Thursday that his upcoming budget pror,osal will be tigtu and l1kely w•ll tall below the maximum 3.5 spending increase allowed by state law. During last year's campaign, Strickland proposed using state money to fund college savings accounts for every child whose parents make a $15 ·minimum investment. The state would make an initial contribution . of $500 and an additional $100 annually until the child reaches I&. That plan is bein~ consid· ered for Strickland s budget proposal, Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey said. Despite budget restraints, Strickland can look to another part of the bud~et to find more money for htgher education, said Matthew Filipic, a vice president at Wright State University and a former assistant state budget director. Medicaid expenditures were $350 milhon below estimates as of November, according to the latest report by the state Office of Budget and Management. "That's the only window. the only opening I'm aware of that can be used for new investments in colleges and universities," Filipic said. e:: ) ~ Thunder~ c~ Flurrios r~ Ice s;orms ~ ~ ~ ~ ·._ \, ,. , ····· . •~• • ~ .

Ohio Valley Christian rises above Hannan BY LARRY CRUM ' I LCRUM@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM ASHTON, W.Va. When it starts raining three's, not even an umbrella will save you. . And Hannan (1-9) found that fact out first hand as the Ohio Valley Christian (6-6) boys basketball team used a 23-13 run in the third quarter, mainly from behind the arc, to pull away from a one point halftime lead and hold on for a 62-56 victory Thursday night in Mason. Led by Brandon Coughenour, who had 10 of his game high 24 points in the third quarter, the Defenders yanked out all the stops and pulled away from a narrow 24-23 edge at the half to take a 47-36 lead heading into the fmal eight minutes. Hannan did fight back, holding aves without a bucket for the first half of the fourth quarter to tie the game 48-48 with 3:36 remaining, . but the Defenders never Jet Hannan out front.

"I've always gone for my shots in any type of pressure situation, and' r am going to keep it up," Williams said. "It doesn't matter - I think the more pressure I get, the tougher I get." Williams cut down her mistakes and staned nailing the ground sbUkes that untif then had been narrowly missing. "I was down 3-5 and on the verge of being out of the tournament, and I obviously didn't want that to happen," she said. "It was time to either move or lose, and I definitely didn't want to lose." Williams broke to tie it at 55 and then held serve. Petrova admonished herself while eating an energy bar during the changeover. That didn't help, and Williams, with the capacity crowd of 15,000 increasingly behind her, won the second set when Petrova double-faulted. Williams broke Petrova again twice in the third and ended it in 2 hours, 5 minutes when Petrova netted a service return.

Mitchell, who is investigating steroid use in the sport, said the chances of government involvement will "significantly increase" if they don ' t cooperate with him. Speaking to owners on the final day of baseball's quarterly meetings, Mitchell said he intends to interview active players and raised the possibility that Congress or other government ·authorities could compel testimony. "I believe it will be in your best interests, and the best interests of baseball, if I can report that I have received full cooperation from your organizations, and from others, in conducting this investigation," Mitchell said in remarks that were released to reporters. Mitchell cited last week's Hall of Fame vote to underscore the importance of his investigation. Mark McGwire was picked on 23.5 percent of ballots far below the necessary 75 percent needed for induction. The vote was viewed by many as the first referendum on how history will judge an age wheil bulkedup players came under suspicion of using performance-enhancing drugs. Baseball didn't ban steroids until after the 2002 season. "If nothing else, the results of the Hall of Fame voting last week. and the reaction to it, offer fresh evidence that this issue will not just fade away,'' Mitchell said. "Whether you think it fair or not, whether you think it justified or not, Major League Baseball has a cloud over its head, and that cloud will not just go away." Mitchell cannot compel testimony. He warned the clubs that Congress or other federal or stallf authorities which do have · subpoena power could get involved. "I believe that a report that is not credible and thorough will significantly increase the possibility of action by others, especially Dungy~ if it's the result of a lack of cooperation by the clubs, or by anyone else who is or ha~ been involved with baseball," Mitchell said . The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a series of hearings on steroids and pro sports in 2005 and 2006. "The· use of steroids in professional sports continues to be an issue the committee is interested in, and we are looking forward to learning more about the progress Senator Mitchell has made in his investigation," said Rep. Henry A. Waxman, the California Democrat who chairs the committee. Keith Ausbrook, Republican general counsel for the committee, said he's almost certain Mitchell has not been in contact with the panel recently about this issue . "We ' ve certainly been very interested in his investigation and what the results are ~oing to be," Ausbrook satd . "If he's not getting anywhere, we 'II certainly consider whether to re-engage in it." The players' association declined comment, spokesman Greg Bouris said . Mitchell did not speak to reporters after addressing owners. He was hired by commissioner Bud Selig last March following more than a year of allegations against Barry · Bonds, McGwire and other stars. No timetable was set for Mitchell's report. Bonds is under investigation hy a federal grand jury as to whether he perjured himself when he testified in 2003 in the BALCO steroid distribution case that he hadn't knowingly taken any performanceenhancing drugs. San Francisco The Giants are negotiating a contract with Bond s, who needs 22 home runs to surpass Hank Aaron's mark of 755. Speaking to reporters at a golf tournament in the Dominican Republic this week, Bonds declined to discuss ongoing negotiations with the Giants, or his reported positive test for amphetamines last year. Giants owner Peter Magowan declin ed to answer questions about Bonds. Selig also spoke to the owners about Mitchell 's investigation. Asked if he had urged the clubs to cooperate with Mitchell, Selig said, "Urge is probably not strong enough." "Look, some clubs have been more cooperative than others, but at this stage, I'm not concerned about that,'' Selig said. "He will have cooperation." Selig would not say which clubs are lagging in their cooperation. Mitchell acknow Iedged that teams aren't used to dealing with "large-scale document discovery," which can be time-consuming. But he said his investigation would move faster if clubs cooperated more quickly. "Many have asked when my report will be completed,'' he said. "The pace of this investigation is dictat ed by the rate at which information is received." Houston owner Drayton Me Lane said the owners weren't surprised · by Mitchell's remarks. "It's a process that's very complicated, and it's just going to take time to complete,'' McLane said. "The steroids issues continue to emerge, and the public wants to know. For some reason they want to know more about baseball on steroids than they do football or basketball. So it's certainly focused on this." During the meeting, Selig also spoke about the free-agent market and singled out the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants, among others, for their spending, one official at the meeting said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the remarks during the session were not intended to be made public. Selig also mentioned the Toronto Blue Jays, the official said. Selig wouldn't specify what he said to owners about the game's economICS. "We discussed some things, but we do that at every meeting," Selig said. NASHVILLE, Tenn . The Nashville Predators. might have a hard time figuring out which goalie to use with Tomas Vokoun back and Chris Mason playing his best. Mason made 33 saves for a career-high and franchiserecord fifth shutout this season, and David Legwand and Paul Kariya each had a goal and an assist as the Predators beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4·0 Thursday night. " I guess that's pretty cool, but it's definitely one that's going to be broken,'' Mason said of his record. "I guess it' s cool to get it, and I honestly just wanted to win. That's really all that mattered." With the victory, the Predators bounced back from a 5-3 loss at Detroit on Wednesday night with their NHL-best 33rd victory. Combined with Anaheim's 4- 1 loss at Edmonton , the Predators moved atop the NHL for the first time m the franchise's eighth season . Nashville ha,s 69 points, one ahead of the Ducks and Buffalo. which did not play Thursday. "For the few moments of it,'' Nashville coach Barry Trotz said of the franchise first. Mason said his personal record was secondary. "We passed Anaheim toni~ht. ... It was a big win, ' Mason said. Mason had given up three goals in 8 minutes after relieving Tomas Vokoun in a 5-3 loss at Detroit on Wednesday night. Trotz's challenge now is whether to start Vokoun, who missed 21 games with a torn tendon and broken bone in his left thumb, or Mason on Saturday night against Chicago before the All-Star break. Trotz said he sees strength in having two strong goalies. "I don't have any concerns about Tomas ' game. He 's going to get that going, and there's a reason he's an elite goaltender in this league. He's mature. He expects that of himself. We expect that of him. When Mase is in, he expects to play well for us. and we expect that ,'' Trotz said. Steve Sullivan and Martin Erat also scored for Nashville, which beat Columbus for the sil';th time in six games this season . This was the third time in seven days these teams have played each other fol lowing a back-to-back, home-and-home matchup last weekend. Columbus didn't have a handful of its best players in the first two, but was much healthier Thursday night. Even Rick Nash was back after missing five games because of hi s back, though all the healthy Blue Jackets didn't help. "When you play against a team like Nashville, your best players have to be your best players,'' Columbus coach Ken Hitchcock said. "That sets the tone. There is no other Xs and Os. They have to accept that responsibility." Columbus outshot Nashville once again, 3326. The Blue Jackets came into this game having outshot Nashville 149-119 through the first five games and then ou tshot the Predators 15-8 in the first period while trailing 2-0. The Blue Jackets went 0- for-5 on the power play. "It''S plain and simple," Nash said. "They stick to their game plan, and we kind of wander off." Nashville scored on its first shot when Legwand dug out the puck from behind the net and wrapped around the post in squeezing it past Ty Conklin at 4:07 . Conklin stopped Shea Weber's shot with his stick, but the puck went behind the net to Jason Arnott, who passed to Sullivan for his 15th goal . Kariya scored his 16th at I 0: I I of the second on a power play from the right circle off assists from Marek Zidlicky and Kimmo Timonen. The Predators now are 15-0 when Kariya scores. He added an assist in setting up Erat's ninth at 9:56 of the third. Mason was much sharper against Columbus than against Detroit. "We wanted this one, and we knew it was going to be tough because we played last night and they were waiting for us. Guys played a really solid game," Mason said. The Blue Jackets tried to pressure Mason as much as possible, but his best save may have been a shot he grabbed and held onto with the edge of his glove despite having Nash trying to knock it down with his stick early in the third period. Notes: This is the lith time this season Columbus has been shut out. ... Nashville improved to I I1- 1 in the second of backto-hack games, 24-5-1 when scoring first and 14-41 in the Central Division .... Kariya now has seven points in six games against Columbus. ...

The two teams met earlier in the season and Genoa ( 122) won 63-61 as 6-foot-3 Brittany Darling scored 32 points. Eastwood's Alyssa Jacoby, who had 20 points and 14 rebounds in the first game, missed Thursday ni~ht's game with an injury. Without Jacoby, the team's best post player, Eastwood coach Jim Gracyk said he decided to slow the game down and keep the ball away from the Comets. The tactic helped hold Darling to four points. Eastwood (10-4) took a 20 lead in the second quarter on a basket by Megan McCracken, who led all players with six points . Genoa did not score until Darling tied it at two in the third quarter. which is where the score stayed until the fourth quarter. Eastwood made 4-of- 7 field goals in the game and made seven free throws in the fourth quaner. Genoa shot 3 for II. The two teams are now tied for first in the Suburban Lakes League with 7-2 conference records. Smith have chance to be first black coaches in Super Bowl BY DAVE Goi.DIIRG ASSOCIATED.PRESS lNDIANAPOLIS (AP) Two weeks ago, Lovie Smith made the three-hour trip from Chicago to watch Tony Dungy 's Colts take on Herman Edwards' Chiefs in a first-round NFL playoff game. The njght before, the three ofd friends and their wives dined at P.F. Chang's in downtown Indianapolis in w,hat was as much a symbolic. meeting as a gathering of old pals - three black coaches relebrating the arrival of their teams in the NFL playoffs . "We talked about starting in ':96 in Tampa and some of the things we remembered from then," Dungy recalled on Thursday. "How great it is ltlat we are in the playoffs and that at least two of us have a chance to make it to the Super Bowl. You realized it would ~ awesome if it happened and, hopefully, it will.' : It's officially one game from being awesome. If the Colts beat the New ~ngland Patriots on Sunday and Smith's Bell[l; beat the New Orleans Saints, it would ;ut two black coaches in the Nfl's marquee game for the first time in its 41 years. Even if just one of them wins, that, 100, would be a fm;t. ! lbere were just three black liead coaches in the NFL when Dungy started nearly a r.lecade ago in Tampa, with Edwards and Smith on his !~taft. Back then, 70 percent of t;be league's players were black - a percentage that still holds. AP photo Chicago Bears' Head Coach Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Ill . This year, there were seven black coaches, including Dennis Green in Arizona and Art Shell in Odk.land. Both men were fired after the season, although Shell will remain in the Raiders' front office. The others are Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis and Cleveland's Romeo Crennel. Though he didn't coach this season, Ray Rhodes coached Philadelphia and Green Bay in the 1990s. Despite the strides, no black head coach has ever taken the final step. "Of course. it would be spe- Lovie Smith smiles during a news conference Thursday at cia! if that happened." Smith said. "I hope for a day when it is Lmnoticed but that day isn'l here. This is the frrst time, I think, two black men have led their teams to the final four. You have to acknowledge that. I do, we do. I realize the responsibility that comes wilh that.'' So do black players. '·We're making progress slowly," says defensive tackle Anthony McFarland of the Colts, who played for both Dungy and Smith in Tampa Bay. "I don't think players think of 'black players· and ' white players.'

And Hannan (1-9) found that fact out first hand as the Ohio Valley Christian (6-6) boys basketball team used a 23-13 run in the third quarter, mainly from behind the arc, to pull away from a one point halftime lead and hold on for a 62-56 victory Thursday night in Mason. Led by Brandon Coughenour, who had 10 of his game high 24 points in the third quarter, the Defenders yanked out all the stops and pulled away from a narrow 24-23 edge at the half to take a 47-36 lead heading into the fmal eight minutes.

Williams broke to tie it at 55 and then held serve. Petrova admonished herself while eating an energy bar during the changeover. That didn't help, and Williams, with the capacity crowd of 15,000 increasingly behind her, won the second set when Petrova double-faulted. Williams broke Petrova again twice in the third and ended it in 2 hours, 5 minutes when Petrova netted a service return.

Mitchell, who is investigating steroid use in the sport, said the chances of government involvement will "significantly increase" if they don ' t cooperate with him. Speaking to owners on the final day of baseball's quarterly meetings, Mitchell said he intends to interview active players and raised the possibility that Congress or other government ·authorities could compel testimony. "I believe it will be in your best interests, and the best interests of baseball, if I can report that I have received full cooperation from your organizations, and from others, in conducting this investigation," Mitchell said in remarks that were released to reporters. Mitchell cited last week's Hall of Fame vote to underscore the importance of his investigation. Mark McGwire was picked on 23.5 percent of ballots far below the necessary 75 percent needed for induction. The vote was viewed by many as the first referendum on how history will judge an age wheil bulkedup players came under suspicion of using performance-enhancing drugs. Baseball didn't ban steroids until after the 2002 season. "If nothing else, the results of the Hall of Fame voting last week. and the reaction to it, offer fresh evidence that this issue will not just fade away,'' Mitchell said. "Whether you think it fair or not, whether you think it justified or not, Major League Baseball has a cloud over its head, and that cloud will not just go away." Mitchell cannot compel testimony. He warned the clubs that Congress or other federal or stallf authorities which do have · subpoena power could get involved. "I believe that a report that is not credible and thorough will significantly increase the possibility of action by others, especially Dungy~ if it's the result of a lack of cooperation by the clubs, or by anyone else who is or ha~ been involved with baseball," Mitchell said . The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a series of hearings on steroids and pro sports in 2005 and 2006. "The· use of steroids in professional sports continues to be an issue the committee is interested in, and we are looking forward to learning more about the progress Senator Mitchell has made in his investigation," said Rep. Henry A. Waxman, the California Democrat who chairs the committee. Keith Ausbrook, Republican general counsel for the committee, said he's almost certain Mitchell has not been in contact with the panel recently about this issue . "We ' ve certainly been very interested in his investigation and what the results are ~oing to be," Ausbrook satd . "If he's not getting anywhere, we 'II certainly consider whether to re-engage in it." The players' association declined comment, spokesman Greg Bouris said . Mitchell did not speak to reporters after addressing owners. He was hired by commissioner Bud Selig last March following more than a year of allegations against Barry · Bonds, McGwire and other stars. No timetable was set for Mitchell's report. Bonds is under investigation hy a federal grand jury as to whether he perjured himself when he testified in 2003 in the BALCO steroid distribution case that he hadn't knowingly taken any performanceenhancing drugs. San Francisco The Giants are negotiating a contract with Bond s, who needs 22 home runs to surpass Hank Aaron's mark of 755. Speaking to reporters at a golf tournament in the Dominican Republic this week, Bonds declined to discuss ongoing negotiations with the Giants, or his reported positive test for amphetamines last year. Giants owner Peter Magowan declin ed to answer questions about Bonds. Selig also spoke to the owners about Mitchell 's investigation. Asked if he had urged the clubs to cooperate with Mitchell, Selig said, "Urge is probably not strong enough." "Look, some clubs have been more cooperative than others, but at this stage, I'm not concerned about that,'' Selig said. "He will have cooperation." Selig would not say which clubs are lagging in their cooperation. Mitchell acknow Iedged that teams aren't used to dealing with "large-scale document discovery," which can be time-consuming. But he said his investigation would move faster if clubs cooperated more quickly. "Many have asked when my report will be completed,'' he said. "The pace of this investigation is dictat ed by the rate at which information is received." Houston owner Drayton Me Lane said the owners weren't surprised · by Mitchell's remarks. "It's a process that's very complicated, and it's just going to take time to complete,'' McLane said. "The steroids issues continue to emerge, and the public wants to know. For some reason they want to know more about baseball on steroids than they do football or basketball. So it's certainly focused on this." During the meeting, Selig also spoke about the free-agent market and singled out the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants, among others, for their spending, one official at the meeting said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the remarks during the session were not intended to be made public. Selig also mentioned the Toronto Blue Jays, the official said. Selig wouldn't specify what he said to owners about the game's economICS. "We discussed some things, but we do that at every meeting," Selig said. NASHVILLE, Tenn . The Nashville Predators. might have a hard time figuring out which goalie to use with Tomas Vokoun back and Chris Mason playing his best. Mason made 33 saves for a career-high and franchiserecord fifth shutout this season, and David Legwand and Paul Kariya each had a goal and an assist as the Predators beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4·0 Thursday night. " I guess that's pretty cool, but it's definitely one that's going to be broken,'' Mason said of his record. "I guess it' s cool to get it, and I honestly just wanted to win. That's really all that mattered." With the victory, the Predators bounced back from a 5-3 loss at Detroit on Wednesday night with their NHL-best 33rd victory. Combined with Anaheim's 4- 1 loss at Edmonton , the Predators moved atop the NHL for the first time m the franchise's eighth season . Nashville ha,s 69 points, one ahead of the Ducks and Buffalo. which did not play Thursday. "For the few moments of it,'' Nashville coach Barry Trotz said of the franchise first. Mason said his personal record was secondary. "We passed Anaheim toni~ht. ... It was a big win, ' Mason said. Mason had given up three goals in 8 minutes after relieving Tomas Vokoun in a 5-3 loss at Detroit on Wednesday night. Trotz's challenge now is whether to start Vokoun, who missed 21 games with a torn tendon and broken bone in his left thumb, or Mason on Saturday night against Chicago before the All-Star break. Trotz said he sees strength in having two strong goalies. "I don't have any concerns about Tomas ' game. He 's going to get that going, and there's a reason he's an elite goaltender in this league. He's mature. He expects that of himself. We expect that of him. When Mase is in, he expects to play well for us. and we expect that ,'' Trotz said. Steve Sullivan and Martin Erat also scored for Nashville, which beat Columbus for the sil';th time in six games this season . This was the third time in seven days these teams have played each other fol lowing a back-to-back, home-and-home matchup last weekend. Columbus didn't have a handful of its best players in the first two, but was much healthier Thursday night. Even Rick Nash was back after missing five games because of hi s back, though all the healthy Blue Jackets didn't help. "When you play against a team like Nashville, your best players have to be your best players,'' Columbus coach Ken Hitchcock said. "That sets the tone. There is no other Xs and Os. They have to accept that responsibility." Columbus outshot Nashville once again, 3326. The Blue Jackets came into this game having outshot Nashville 149-119 through the first five games and then ou tshot the Predators 15-8 in the first period while trailing 2-0. The Blue Jackets went 0- for-5 on the power play. "It''S plain and simple," Nash said. "They stick to their game plan, and we kind of wander off." Nashville scored on its first shot when Legwand dug out the puck from behind the net and wrapped around the post in squeezing it past Ty Conklin at 4:07 . Conklin stopped Shea Weber's shot with his stick, but the puck went behind the net to Jason Arnott, who passed to Sullivan for his 15th goal . Kariya scored his 16th at I 0: I I of the second on a power play from the right circle off assists from Marek Zidlicky and Kimmo Timonen. The Predators now are 15-0 when Kariya scores. He added an assist in setting up Erat's ninth at 9:56 of the third. Mason was much sharper against Columbus than against Detroit. "We wanted this one, and we knew it was going to be tough because we played last night and they were waiting for us. Guys played a really solid game," Mason said. The Blue Jackets tried to pressure Mason as much as possible, but his best save may have been a shot he grabbed and held onto with the edge of his glove despite having Nash trying to knock it down with his stick early in the third period. Notes: This is the lith time this season Columbus has been shut out. ...

The two teams met earlier in the season and Genoa ( 122) won 63-61 as 6-foot-3 Brittany Darling scored 32 points. Eastwood's Alyssa Jacoby, who had 20 points and 14 rebounds in the first game, missed Thursday ni~ht's game with an injury. Without Jacoby, the team's best post player, Eastwood coach Jim Gracyk said he decided to slow the game down and keep the ball away from the Comets. The tactic helped hold Darling to four points. Eastwood (10-4) took a 20 lead in the second quarter on a basket by Megan McCracken, who led all players with six points .

Smith have chance to be first black coaches in Super Bowl BY DAVE Goi.DIIRG ASSOCIATED.PRESS lNDIANAPOLIS (AP) Two weeks ago, Lovie Smith made the three-hour trip from Chicago to watch Tony Dungy 's Colts take on Herman Edwards' Chiefs in a first-round NFL playoff game. The njght before, the three ofd friends and their wives dined at P.F. Chang's in downtown Indianapolis in w,hat was as much a symbolic. meeting as a gathering of old pals - three black coaches relebrating the arrival of their teams in the NFL playoffs . "We talked about starting in ':96 in Tampa and some of the things we remembered from then," Dungy recalled on Thursday. "How great it is ltlat we are in the playoffs and that at least two of us have a chance to make it to the Super Bowl. You realized it would ~ awesome if it happened and, hopefully, it will.' : It's officially one game from being awesome. If the Colts beat the New ~ngland Patriots on Sunday and Smith's Bell[l; beat the New Orleans Saints, it would ;ut two black coaches in the Nfl's marquee game for the first time in its 41 years. Even if just one of them wins, that, 100, would be a fm;t. ! lbere were just three black liead coaches in the NFL when Dungy started nearly a r.lecade ago in Tampa, with Edwards and Smith on his !~taft. Back then, 70 percent of t;be league's players were black - a percentage that still holds. AP photo Chicago Bears' Head Coach Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Ill . This year, there were seven black coaches, including Dennis Green in Arizona and Art Shell in Odk.land. Both men were fired after the season, although Shell will remain in the Raiders' front office. The others are Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis and Cleveland's Romeo Crennel. Though he didn't coach this season, Ray Rhodes coached Philadelphia and Green Bay in the 1990s. Despite the strides, no black head coach has ever taken the final step. "Of course. it would be spe- Lovie Smith smiles during a news conference Thursday at cia! if that happened." Smith said. "I hope for a day when it is Lmnoticed but that day isn'l here. This is the frrst time, I think, two black men have led their teams to the final four. You have to acknowledge that. I do, we do. I realize the responsibility that comes wilh that.'' So do black players. '·We're making progress slowly," says defensive tackle Anthony McFarland of the Colts, who played for both Dungy and Smith in Tampa Bay. "I don't think players think of 'black players· and ' white players.' It shows that for Tony and Lovie to come this far that there are at least some organizations that have confidence that black men can be head coaches. I hope it goes beyond that so we don't have to think of their race." he said. NFL leaders acknowledge that's in the future. "We · still have problems with the front office,'' said Pittsburgh's D-dll Rooney, one of league's senior owners.
