No shortage of choices for 20 greatest fights in UFC history
<html>No shortage of choices for 20 greatest fights in UFC historyBy Kevin Iole | Thu, Nov 14, 2013 1:18 PM PHT Dan Henderson (L) and Mauricio Shogun Rua go at it during UFC 139 (Getty)The hardest part about picking the Top 20 fights of the UFC's first 20 years is that there are so many great ones.
UFC president Dana White has fostered a culture in which the athletes are encouraged to put on a show, and matchmaker Joe Silva is genius at pairing fighters whose styles mesh. Thus, there are literally Fight of the Year contenders on a monthly, if not more frequent, basis.
There is no right answer on a list like this. The following 20 bouts are ones that appealed to me, for reasons I'll articulate. You may agree with most or agree with none,cheap jerseys free shipping, because that's how these things go. This is my list.
Just so I don't get a lot of questions, I am only considering matches that were held in the UFC for my Top 2o list. So, the two great matches between Eddie Alvarez and Michael Chandler in Bellator won't appear here. Nor will the sensational scrap between Leonard Garcia and Chan Sung Jung at WEC 48 or any of the many great fights in PRIDE, Strikeforce, WEC or any other mixed martial arts organization.
There are only two criteria for a fight to be on this list: That it happened in the UFC, and that I found it one of the 20 best in the promotion's history.
Let me know in the comments section which fight or fights you would have chosen as the greatest you have seen.
Frankie Edgar (L) catches Gray Maynard with a left at UFC 136 (Getty)20. Frankie Edgar TKO4 Gray Maynard, Houston, Oct. 8, 2011, UFC 136
Edgar and Maynard had already competed in a classic match at UFC 125, that ended in a draw. And though rematches often don't live up to the billing, this one did. It was the third fight of the trilogy, with Maynard having one win and then the draw at UFC 125.
It was a continuation of their last bout, with both men showing great heart and resilience. Edgar himself was hurt in the fourth round, but caught Maynard with a big right that decked the ex-Michigan State wrestler. He finished him on the ground to retain his lightweight title in a match that yet again showcased his amazing recuperative powers.
They didn't quite match their slugfest from UFC 125, but they came close.
19. Wanderlei Silva TKO2 Brian Stann, Saitama, Japan, March 3, 2013, UFC on Fuel 8
There was never a chance this fight would go to the ground. Both men love to slug and it was a slugfest from the beginning until the devastating end at 4:08 of the second round.
Silva caught Stann with a right, followed up by a crunching left that earned him Knockout of the Night honors. The ending was typical of the entire fight, as the two hit each other with enormous shots throughout the match.
Pat Barry (R) connects on Cheick Kongo (Getty)18. Cheick Kongo TKO1 Pat Barry, Pittsburgh, June 26, 2011, UFC Live 4
Pat Barry is a major knockout puncher, and when he hits men, they usually go out quickly. And that seemed to be what was in store when Barry caught Kongo with a right about two minutes into the fight. As Barry went for the finish, firing a volley of hard punches to the head and body, UFC analyst Joe Rogan said, It's over.
Improbably,wholesale nfl jerseys china, Kongo got up, but he was clipped by another massive right from Barry.
Now, it's over, UFC play-by-play man Mike Goldberg said to Rogan.
Incredibly, unbelievably, it still wasn't over. Barry was swarming Kongo and firing punches, but again, Kongo managed to pull himself to his feet. As Barry moved in, Kongo fired a counter and Barry was out cold.
In all, it lasted just 2:39, but it was 2:39 of the best action ever.
17. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira W3 Randy Couture, Portland, Ore., Aug 29, 2009, UFC 102
The veterans showed they learned a great deal over the years, putting on a show with a back-and-forth match that was a showcase of all areas of MMA. The early portion of the bout was standing, and both men hurt the other several times.
There were plenty of momentum shifts, but Nogueira seemed fresher down the stretch and he pulled out a victory in a Fight of the Night battle.
Randy Couture (R) cracks Tim Sylvia (Getty Images)16. Randy Couture W5 Tim Sylvia, Columbus, Ohio, March 3, 2007, UFC 68
This fight gets on my list for reasons beyond what happened in the ring. It was a fairly one-sided fight and, in my opinion, it's hard to call a one-sided bout one of the best ever.
It was the circumstances surrounding the bout that made this fight so significant. Couture was 43 and was moving back up to heavyweight from light heavyweight. At the time, the 6-foot-8 Sylvia was perceived to be a monster, and there were a lot of people who were legitimately worried for Couture's safety.
The massive crowd, the largest for an MMA fight in North America at the time, went wild when Couture walked to the ring. And it kept up the pitch when Couture knocked Sylvia down early in the bout.
It was the moment, more than the action, but that is a fight that has to be on any list of the UFC's top ever because of the circumstances surrounding it.
15. Diego Sanchez W3 Clay Guida, Las Vegas, June 20, 2009, Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale
Sanchez and Guida are two of the highest-paced fighters in the sport, and they put on a memorable show at The Palms on this night. Sanchez roared out of his corner after Guida and was a whirling dervish of strikes.
He then knocked Guida down with a kick to the head and seemed to be ready to finish.
But Guida survived, and changed the momentum in Round 2. By the end, the men were bathed in their own blood and the crowd roared as each took turns assaulting the other.
Sam Stout (Getty)14. Sam Stout W3 Spencer Fisher, Las Vegas, March 4, 2006, UFC 58
Fisher was a late replacement for Kenny Florian, who had to pull out of the bout with a back injury. That set the stage for the first of what would be three sensational bouts between Stout and Fisher.
Stout was making his UFC debut and gave a hint with what was to coming. He showed heavy hands, a willingness to engage and strong takedown defense.
It was a violent 15 minutes that came out of nowhere to earn Fight of the Night honors.
12. Georges St-Pierre W3 B.J. Penn, Las Vegas, March 4, 206, UFC 58
St-Pierre versus Penn was eked out by Stout-Fisher for Fight of the Night, but I slightly preferred the St-Pierre-Penn bout due to the superior technique and skill level of the fighters.
Penn's hands are among the best ever in the UFC, and he used them to beat St-Pierre up in the first round. St-Pierre was bloodied and bruised. But St-Pierre adjusted, and used takedowns, clinch work and a surprisingly good top game to rally for the win.
The fight was an up-and-down, back-and-forth example of MMA at its best.
Chris Leben celebrates a win (Getty)11. Chris Leben SUB3 Yoshihiro Akiyama, Las Vegas, July 3, 2010, UFC 116
Just two weeks earlier, Leben had defeated Aaron Simpson, and got the call to face Akiyama because of an injury to Wanderlei Silva.
It led to a sensational battle that saw Leben showing an incredible chin, eating a series of Akiyama punches, before pulling off an amazing triangle choke in the waning seconds.
10. Diego Sanchez W3 Karo Parisyan, Las Vegas,San Francisco Giants showing interest in Braves pitcher Tim Hudson San Francisco Giants showing interest in Braves pitcher Tim Hudson San Francisco Giants showing interest in Braves pitcher Tim Hudson, Aug. 16, 2006, UFC Fight Night 6
The bout was an epic MMA match, with punching, kicking, throws and scrambles. It was fast-paced, energetic and had several momentum swings.
At one point in the fight, Sanchez hit Parisyan with a knee and Parisyan's tooth came flying out. That fight often doesn't get a lot of attention, but it was one that is unforgettable for those who were fortunate enough to be in the building live to see it.
9. Chan Sung Jung SUB4 Dustin Poirier, Fairfax, Va., May 15, 2012, UFC on Fuel 3
Jung, also known as The Korean Zombie, finished the amazing battle at 1:07 of the fourth when he caught Poirier in a D'Arce choke. But there was something for everyone in this wild match.
Jung seemed almost impervious to pain as he took blows from Poirier, who to his credit, never kept trying. But Jung caught Poirier with a knee, then finished Poirier with the D'Arce.
Chuck Liddell lands a right to Wanderlei Silva (Getty)8. Chuck Liddell W3 Wanderlei Silva,basketball jerseys cheap, Las Vegas, Dec. 29, 2007, UFC 79
The only surprise in this match is not that it was an all-timer, but that it didn't end by knockout. It paired two of the UFC's greatest sluggers, and they treated the crowd to some memorable flurries.
Liddell hit Silva with some momentous blows,[1] , but Silva took them and doled out some shots of his own. But Liddell mixed in a few takedowns and that led him to a thrilling but deserved victory.
7. Gilbert Melendez W3 Diego Sanchez, Houston, Oct. 19, 2013, UFC 166
The third round of Melendez-Sanchez was as epic as they come. Melendez controlled the first two rounds of the bout very well, and clearly was on his way to a win. Sanchez's corner implored him between rounds to pick it up when he went out for the third.
Sanchez somehow managed to find another level, and for five minutes, they went at each other with a fury rarely seen. Sanchez caught Melendez in a rear naked choke at one point, but they were covered with blood and sweat and Melendez was able to slip out.
They had several long, extended flurries, and the crowd at the Toyota Center got as loud as any crowd at any UFC fight ever cheering.
In the end, Melendez pulled it out in a bout a few were hailing as the best MMA fight ever.
6. Frankie Edgar D5 Gray Maynard, Las Vegas, Jan. 1, 2011, UFC 125
Edgar was down three times in the first round and it seemed that Dana White would soon be wrapping the championship belt around Gray Maynard's waist.
Edgar, though, is one of the UFC's most popular fighters because of the way he comes back, and he stormed back into the fight. He used his boxing and wrestling to fight his way to a draw in a match that all who saw it will talk about forever.
Frank Trigg catches Matt Hughes in a rear naked choke (Getty)5. Matt Hughes SUB1 Frank Trigg, Las Vegas, April 16, 2005, UFC 52
Everyone had always heard about Matt Hughes' incredible strength, but it was often difficult to tell. Fighting, after all, is not a weight-lifting contest.
But in this bout, Hughes' strength played a major factor. Trigg kneed Hughes in the groin, but referee Mario Yamasaki didn't see it. Hughes went down in pain, and with the referee not stopping the action, Trigg went in for the finish.
He pounded on Hughes, and it seemed he was about to win the UFC's welterweight title. But then Hughes arose, scooped Trigg up, carried him across the ring and then violently slammed him into the mat.
The arena erupted, and Hughes locked in the rear naked choke for the win.
4. Jon Jones W5 Alex Gustafsson, Toronto, Sept. 21, 2013, UFC 165
Jones was a massive betting favorite, and it seemed the UFC had so little to focus on in an attempt to build up Gustafsson in the pre-fight that it focused on the fact that he was the first fighter Jones faced who was taller.
But Gustafsson's boxing was better than Jones thought, and he was able to take Jones down.
Jones showed a mettle that many didn't think he had. With his eye swollen badly and his body beaten up, Jones caught Gustafsson with a series of elbows in the final round that pulled out the win.
After the bout, Jones was helped from the Octagon and put right onto a stretcher to be examined in the hospital. He was spent, as was Gustafsson, after giving everything he had in a bid to win.
Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar (Getty)3. Forrest Griffin W3 Stephan Bonnar, Las Vegas, April 9, 2005, Ultimate Fighter 1 Finale
This is the fight credited with saving the UFC. Griffin and Bonnar put on an incredible display, punching, kicking and slamming each other for 15 minutes with everything they had.
The bout was held in the UNLV basketball team's practice gym, and the sound of fans stomping their feet on the bleachers resonated throughout as the action never let up.
Griffin won the memorable bout in a decision that could have gone either way.
Anderson Silva (Bottom) battles Chael Sonnen (Getty)2. Anderson Silva SUB5 Chael Sonnen, Oakland, Calif., Aug. 7, 2010, UFC 117
After an unprecedented few months of trash talk, Sonnen lived up to his words. He went out and repeatedly took the UFC's middleweight champion down and then beat him up on the ground.
For four rounds, it was no contest, as the massive underdog was not only beating the champion, he was embarrassing him.
But as time on his championship reign was running out, Silva caught Sonnen in a triangle choke/arm bar and forced his challenger to submit.
It was by far the most dramatic ending in UFC history and among its finest fights.
1. Dan Henderson W5 Mauricio Shogun Rua, San Jose, Calif., Nov. 19, 2011, UFC 139
The bout was an amazing amalgamation of heart, skill, courage, conditioning, determination and power. Both were beaten severely. Both seemed at times on the verge of going out.
And each time, he'd rally from the brink to gain an advantage.
If you want to make someone an MMA fan, without question, this is the fight to show them.
That's my list. Let me know your picks for the UFC's best fights in the comments.

ESPN punted on this season of 'Monday Night Football'
<html>Tonight, the New England Patriots face the Carolina Panthers on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” in what feels like the first watchable game on the worst day of the week in, well, forever. The Panthers and Patriots are two of the best teams in their respective divisions but think back over the last few weeks. Can you remember any game on Monday night that you circled on your calendar? Didn’t think so.
In three of the past four weeks,Lakers Nation Gear Report- Check Out This Lakers Merchandise Lakers Nation Gear Report- Check Out This Lakers Merchandise Lakers Nation Gear Report- Check Out This Lakers Merchandise,<a name="http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html">basketball jerseys cheap</a>, NFL fans have been subjected to not-so-riveting games like the Seahawks’ 14-9 victory over St. Louis, the Buccaneers earning its first win when it beat Miami, and the Giants crushing the Josh Freeman-led Vikings. I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge football fan and still I watched maybe a grand total of 30 minutes of these three games combined.
What happened to the days when “Monday Night Football” had the best game on the NFL schedule week in and week out? The bars will be packed throughout the Fenway and downtown areas of Boston for tonight’s game. That’s largely due to the fact that the Patriots are playing its first and only Monday night game but also because there hasn’t been a worthwhile game on for the better part of a month.
Come to think of it, watching the Saints thrash the Dolphins a week after the Broncos did the same to Oakland in September wasn’t great either. Hell, let’s just call this season of “Monday Night Football” what it’s been: dreadful. Like more dreadful than having to endure 20 seconds of a promo for “Dads” when watching a game on FOX each Sunday.
ESPN, you’re better than this. You are supposed to be the “Worldwide Leader in Sports.” The least you could do is give us a game worth talking about at the water cooler as we’re enduring our first day back at work or classes since the weekend (and obviously,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, football games are random and you don’t pick the winners and losers. I’m talking about giving us good teams and good matchups, heightening the opportunities for drama and intrigue). Instead,Quit hating- Kanye West is making America confront racism_0 Quit hating- Kanye West is making America confront racism_0 Quit hating- Kanye West is making America confront racism_0, you have forced America to watch the Dolphins twice this year. Twice. It’s bad enough you try to convince us that NASCAR is a sport and barely cover the NHL.
As much as Patriots fans probably enjoyed watching their AFC East rivals lose on national television on two separate occasions, they probably would have preferred to watch their team edge out Buffalo or Atlanta in primetime earlier this year.
To be fair to the guys down in Bristol,cheap jerseys free shipping, Conn., the schedule going forward is much more watchable. The Cowboys travel to Chicago in December after the Saints battle the elements in Seattle the week before. Still, a few good weeks of scheduling at the tail end of the season do not make up for forcing the Jets, Buccaneers, and Vikings on us earlier.
Here’s to hoping for some quality football,?starting tonight with the Patriots’ trip down to Bank of America Stadium, to make up for a particularly bad year of Monday night games.</html>
Chiefs Will Need Special Effort To Beat Broncos
<html>The Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated but they will need a special effort to go into Denver and beat the Broncos tonight.
The Chiefs have managed to find a way to win all nine of their games this season but for the last few weeks, the AFC West leaders haven t played like a team that will be able to stop Peyton Manning. KC has given up far too much ground to the likes of Case Keenum, Jeff Tuel and Jason Campbell to inspire much confidence. The last time the Chiefs were on the field, they played their worst game of the season against the . The defense got gashed on the ground that the offense failed to score a TD.
Fortunately for the Chiefs, neither their victories,<a name="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html">wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</a>, nor their failures thus far this season, mean a doggone thing tonight.
The NFL season is 16 games but watch enough football and you will know that each game is its own animal. Success one week is no guarantee of success the following week.
And neither is failure.
How did the Jets beat the high-powered Saints? How did the Colts take down the mighty Broncos but get smacked around by the inconsistent Rams? How can the be Super Bowl contenders one minute and the next, find themselves getting blown out but a terrible Bucs team?
It might be trite but the phase any given Sunday is no joke.
The deck is stacked against the Chiefs. They re going on the road to face a historically prolific Denver offense. Sure,cheap jerseys free shipping, the Chiefs have been stingy on defense but in today s NFL, the game is rigged to help the offense. Throw in the fact that the Chiefs struggle to score and will be forced to keep pace with perhaps the smartest QB ever to play the game and you have a recipe not only for a letdown, but for a potential blowout.
You can easily see how it could play out. Denver stacks the box to stuff Jamaal Charles and pressure Alex Smith. Smith, always happy to check down, isn t able to test Denver deep and Kansas City turns in a string of offensive three-and-outs.
On defense, the Chiefs try to play their aggressive style of press man coverage but Peyton Manning is just too smart to hold on to the ball for too long. He makes the right reads and uses quick passes to take advantage of rookie CB Marcus Cooper. The Chiefs fall behind early and the Denver D pins its ears back and the Chiefs are unable to respond.
It very could go down like that.
But there also could be a little magic in the air at Mile High tonight and I m not talking about anything Dwayne Bowe might be exhaling.
This matchup just screams of a nobody believes in us game.
The Chiefs have been battered in the press. There have been columns written about how KC has played the easiest schedule in the NFL. One Denver columnist even called the a fraud which is a tad bit harsh.
What s more, the Chiefs are compiled of a bunch of misfits. The 2012 Chiefs were the NFL s worst and many of those players are still on the team. Their coach,McLane's Game Review- Eagles vs. Redskins McLane's Game Review- Eagles vs. Redskins McLane's Game Review- Eagles vs. Redskins,basketball jerseys cheap, Andy Reid, was fired and run out of Philadelphia. Their QB, Alex Smith, was benched while having statistically, his best season. He was then traded away. Their number one WR,[3] , Dwayne Bowe, has been criticized for having his worst season and was this week arrested for speeding and possession of marijuana. Bowe was skewered in the press.
What if instead of crumbling under the pressure of going on the road against Manning, the Chiefs double their focus? What if rather than listening to their detractors, the Chiefs set out on a mission to prove them wrong? What if, instead of Bowe s arrest distracting them and driving them apart, the Chiefs use the adversity to close ranks and become closer?
What if all the extra adversity is just the inspiration the Chiefs need to want this win just a little bit more than the ?
It will take a special effort for the Chiefs to beat the Broncos tonight.
But the Chiefs just might be special.</html>
'Assassin's Creed' 5 Ideas- Ubisoft Developer
<html>"I think we're going toward a gaming place where the open world will be shared with other players. More and more. Socially speaking, but also maybe multiplayer stuff. And we will have to consider the open world much more like a platform that we could sustain for years," Decant explained.

Alex Smith and Dwayne Bowe Run Perfect Back Shoulder Fade
<html>Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports
The Kansas City Chiefs need Alex Smith and Dwayne Bowe to play like they did against the Denver Broncos on a consistent basis.
Smith may not be the best quarterback in the league—and in fact, it s not even close—but when he s on, he s more than good enough to help the Chiefs win games.
Despite the loss to Denver on Sunday Night Football, Smith actually played well.?He completed 21-of-45 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns.
Bowe has had somewhat of an off-year with just 426 yards and three touchdowns,[http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html basketball jerseys cheap</ a>, but he also played well against Denver. He caught four passes for 57 yards and one touchdown.
That touchdown was an important one for the Chiefs, as it got them on the board in Denver. It was also a rare scoring play through the air for Kansas City, which was very good to see from the Chiefs.
So how did the Chiefs do it? ?Let s head to the film room to break it down.
Situation:?Down 10-0 with over 13 minutes to go in the second quarter. Third and goal.
The Play:
The Chiefs came out in a pretty balanced formation with the two tight ends on the line (one offset to the left) and both receivers, Bowe and Avery off the line to the right and left respectively. Jamaal Charles was in the backfield offset to the left. I ve circled Bowe, because he s the target:
Next, here s a look at the routes you ll be seeing from the other receivers. Note that Anthony Fasano stays in to block:
The Chiefs have Bowe running a back shoulder fade, which is quickly becoming a go-to route in the NFL. It s used by many teams, especially in the red zone. You can see below that he gets an outside release so to the corner, it s got to feel like he s going for the traditional fade route in the corner of the end zone. The same route that Avery is running on the other side, keep in mind. One can imagine that the second defender is thinking the same thing as well once he realizes Fasano is staying in:
In the next picture you can see that Bowe stops the fade route short though,<a href="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html" rel="bookmark">wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</ a>, gets a nice push-off?(he probably got away with it), and opens up his hips to the inside. Again, notice how the second defender wasn t able to undercut the route, probably because he was thinking fade. Also take note that the ball is well out of Smith s hands. This is a great timing route:
Smith puts the ball where only Bowe can catch it, and #82 helps out by using his body to shield the ball from the defender.
This was a good physical route from Bowe, a great timing throw from Smith, and six very easy points for the Chiefs on the big stage.
One final point, notice the pass-protection:

Texas Abortion Restrictions Upheld by Supreme Court, Doctors
<html>Opponents of the bill said that the restrictions have forced at least one third of Texas' medical facilities to cease administering pregnancy termination services. Following an initial federal appeals court ruling that kept the regulation in place, Planned Parenthood, along with a handful of Texas abortion clinics, took the case to the high court. But the presiding conservative majority turned down the plea, while the four liberal justices chose to dissent, according to AP.
The ruling is not yet final,cheap jerseys free shipping</ a>,<a href="http://www.dts-development.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=587466&fromuid=95387" title="New Guidelines for Cholesterol Treatment Recommend Rigorous Statin Use, Healthy">New Guidelines for Cholesterol Treatment Recommend Rigorous Statin Use, Healthy, and will go to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans sometime in January. Justice Stephen Breyer told AP that he anticipated the ruling will go back to the Supreme Court after the appeals court gives its word.
Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has been one of the main legislators backing the restrictions, applauded the Supreme Court's decision.
"This is good news both for the unborn and for the women of Texas, who are now better protected from shoddy abortion providers operating in dangerous conditions. As always, Texas will continue doing everything we can to protect the culture of life in our state," he said.
A judge first barred the provision from taking effect in October, saying he regarded it as unconstitutional because it presented a "substantial obstacle" ahead of a woman seeking a pregnancy termination.
Spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas Sarah Wheat voiced similar trepidation concerning the restrictions,[http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html wholesale nfl jerseys china</ a>, adding that women of lower socio-economic status would have issues with less doctors available to offer services.
"We definitely think this is an unconstitutional law,<a href="http://www.cnhxs.com/home/space.php?uid=263606&do=blog&id=94486" title="Fire in Bear ruled arson; house, car destroyed; do">Fire in Bear ruled arson; house, car destroyed; do]," Wheat told USA Today in an interview earlier this month. "It has such a direct impact on whether women can access abortion services."
But until the Court of Appeals weighs in next year,Texas clinics must follow orders to gain admitting rights. According to a report, doctors practicing in 12 of the 32 clinics in Texas that offer abortion services don't have admitting privileges at hospitals,<a href="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html" rel="bookmark">wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</ a>, and therefore won't be able to administer pregnancy terminations.

Rev. Frank Schaefer Handed 30
<html>Schaefer,[http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</ a>, a United Methodist pastor, was convicted on Monday of breaking church law by officiating his son's wedding, bringing to light the church's view on gay marriages,<a href="http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html" rel="bookmark">cheap jerseys free shipping</ a>, the AP reported.
The trial occurred in southeastern Pennsylvania and a 13-member jury convicted Schaefer on two charges: That he officiated a gay wedding, and that he showed "disobedience to the order and discipline of the United Methodist Church," according to the AP.
Schaefer has four children, three of which identify as gay. He pleaded not guilty to the charges even though he could have avoided the trial if he had agreed to never again perform a same-gender wedding, the AP reported.
During his questioning, Boger said the law of the church should not be taken by reverends to do as they please,<a href="http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html" rel="bookmark">basketball jerseys cheap</ a>,<a href="http://wiki.bansuanporpeang.com/index.php/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:Yocbyfzo5" title="Denied a happy ending with Ginebra, 'Major Pain' Eric Menk e">Denied a happy ending with Ginebra, 'Major Pain' Eric Menk e], adding "it undermines their own credibility as a leader and also undermines the integrity of the church as a whole," according to the AP.
"It's his son. He loves his son. In a way I felt bad for him," Boger said, according to the AP. "But he's also shown no remorse or repentance, nor has he apologized to anyone."
Boger said Schaefer kept the marriage from the congregation.
Schaefer said Wednesday he did inform some superiors of his part in the marriage, but that he decided to keep it from the conservative church's congregation because he felt it would be "divisive," the AP reported.
The United Methodist Church, the nation's largest mainline Protestant denomination accepts gay and lesbian members, but it weirdly rejects the practice of homosexuality as "incompatible with Christian teaching," according to the AP.
The 51-year-old said he cannot abide by those laws and said he has to speak out about his beliefs.
"I can no longer be a silent supporter but that now I feel I have to be an advocate, an outspoken advocate, for all lesbian, gay, transgendered and bisexual people," Schaefer said Monday after the initial hearing.
Tim, Schaefer's son, came out to his parents at age 17 when he told them he was contemplating suicide because he was struggling with his sexual identity and the church's stance on homosexuality, according to the AP.
Schaefer testified on Wednesday in his defense saying he decided to break church rules out of love for his son, according to the AP. He said he might have lost what he called his "ritual purity" by disobeying the Methodist Book of Discipline, but that he felt he was obeying God's command to minister to everyone.
"He had heard messages that were hateful from the church, from the culture around him, that told him you're not normal, you're not valid, you're a freak," Schaefer testified, adding that if he said no when his son asked him to marry him he would be denying all the affirmations he and his wife gave him over the years, the AP reported.
"I love the United Methodist Church," Schaefer said, according to the AP. "I've been a minister for almost 20 years and there are so many good things about the United Methodist Church except for that one rule."
A lawyer for the church, Rev. Christopher Fisher, told a jury comprised of methodist church members the reverend "clearly violated the Book of Discipline," according to AP.
Fisher, who is also a church member and abides by their rules, including that of LGBT member acceptance, sed his closing arguments to condemn the act of homosexuality as immoral and said Schaefer does not have the right to perform gay marriages just because he now believes in LGBT rights, the AP reported. He ended with telling the jurors they were duty-bound to convict.
"You'll give an account for that at the last day, as we all will," he told the jury,Warriors backup point guard to miss at least two weeks, the AP reported. The jury served him a 30-day suspension in which any disobedient act will result in his explusion.
After Fisher spoke, Schaefer supporters stood silent, and after he finished his closing argument, they joined hands and sang a hymn called "We Shall Overcome," the AP reported.

Lawyer- FSU QB Winston volunteered DNA to police
<html>TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) ― There was a lot of finger-pointing Thursday in the sexual assault investigation involving Florida State's Jameis Winston after a DNA report linking the quarterback to the alleged victim was leaked to the media. , attorney, and State Attorney held press conferences within minutes of one another. Jansen insinuated that the leak came from Meggs' office, an assertion the state attorney denied. Though it is still unclear who leaked the information, Jansen did reveal that Winston voluntarily gave a DNA sample to Tallahassee police last week,Backyard Gardener- Warm autumn days- Here comes a backache, but said that even if it matches that of the alleged victim it wouldn't mean his client raped the woman. Jansen said the sex between Winston and the accuser "absolutely" was consensual, but then retreated when pressed by reporters who asked him to confirm what he just said. "I'm not saying that," Jansen said. "I'm saying the eyewitnesses that were there will verify that any material that was found, or any evidence that was found, is consistent with him (doing) nothing wrong." ESPN first reported Wednesday night that Winston's DNA matched a sample taken from the underwear of the accuser. Jansen said he has not seen the results of the DNA tests and found out watching television. "All I know is it's very suspicious that the only news reporting agency that (State Attorney) Willie Meggs met privately with yesterday in his office was the one that reported that last night on television," Jansen said. "And that would be ESPN." Meggs met with the press minutes after Jansen's and denied that he ― or anyone in his office ― released the DNA information to the media. He called the release of the information "problematic." He said he did not know who the source of information was for ESPN.
spokesman told that the leak did not come from the police. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement ― which did the DNA analysis ― said it transmitted the report over a secure network to police and prosecutors.
"From FDLE's standpoint it was inappropriate to release the forensic information at this time," said , a spokeswoman for the agency. Meggs, who has been the lead prosecutor in the Tallahassee area for nearly 30 years, also refused to discuss the results or any other "evidence" that was part of the case. But Meggs did acknowledge that prosecutors have issued subpoenas in order to collect evidence for the ongoing investigation. Jansen said he's surprised the DNA results were leaked by law enforcement but,'Selfie' strikes a pose as Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Y, "this DNA has no impact whatsoever on this case. The two eyewitnesses that were present will exonerate" Winston. Jansen said the DNA of one of the eyewitnesses was also taken in the last week by investigators. "We're not surprised (Winston's) DNA was found," Jansen said. "We anticipated that would be found. We've never ever said he wasn't there. We never said any of that." Meggs would not answer directly why DNA was taken from one of the witnesses,<a href="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html" rel="bookmark">wholesale nfl jerseys china</ a>, or whether or not there is a now a possibility of multiple suspects in the case. But Meggs said his office was "trying to find all the relevant facts in the case" and that he did not want someone to question later what evidence was or wasn't gathered. Winston,<a href="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html" rel="bookmark">wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</ a>, 19, was a top freshman recruit and backup quarterback at the time of the alleged December 2012 assault. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound redshirt freshman is now a Heisman Trophy candidate and the Seminoles are the second-ranked football team in the country. Florida State has maintained during the investigation that Winston's status has not changed and he is expected to start Saturday when the Seminoles host Idaho. Tallahassee police handed over information to prosecutors last week about the 11-month-old case after two media organizations began requesting records associated with the incident. Meggs said Thursday that prosecutors have made "a lot of progress" in their investigation, but would not say if, or when, prosecutors planned to interview the woman who has accused Winston of sexual assault. "Hopefully we will have a decision about what we will do in the very near future," Meggs said. The family and attorney of the alleged victim said Wednesday in a statement that their attorney, , was warned by police that Tallahassee was a "big football town and the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding against him because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable." The family said in their statement that the woman did not initially know the identity of who assaulted her and did not identify the alleged attacker as Winston until January. City Manager Anita ,<a href="http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html" rel="bookmark">cheap jerseys free shipping</ a>, saying that she anticipated national media interest because of Winston's celebrity, emailed that information to the Tallahassee mayor and city commissioners on Nov. 12. Her email stated police "stopped getting responses from the young woman and could no longer contact her for additional follow up and information after many attempts to do so." The city manager said an attorney representing the alleged victim's family said she "changed her mind and did not wish to prosecute." The woman, Carroll said, never told police she did not want to press charges. Carroll said the accuser ― who is from the Tampa Bay area ― was going ahead with her life and attending classes at FSU when it became apparent that the police had no plans to seriously investigate the case. The woman left school last week when she learned that the case was about to become public. Carroll said the woman and the family are cooperating with prosecutors "as they proceed with whatever actions they are taking in this matter." ___ Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter: ___ Follow Gary Fineout on Twitter:</html>
Two Jury Verdicts Still Don’t Equal Resolution in Batt
<html>A second jury has decided that Samsung owes Apple . But while the verdict in this case is in and the jury s work done, the battle between Apple and Samsung is far from over.
In just this case there will be post-trial motions to throw out the verdict as well as pleas for injunctions, attorney s fees and sanctions. Oh, and of course both sides will no doubt appeal as well.
And this dispute is itself just one of many being waged by the two companies in multiple venues on several continents. Indeed, Apple and Samsung are due back in the same courtroom early next year for an entirely new trial over a later generation of Samsung phones and tablets.
Judge Lucy Koh,wholesale nfl jerseys china</ a>,<a href="http://if-tc.sakura.ne.jp/shinkanbbs/back_light.cgi" title="The People of the Central Are">The People of the Central Are, who is presiding over both the just-concluded case and next year s trial, is clearly tired of seeing both parties and their lawyers. She has frequently pushed the two companies to hold settlement talks and lambasted the lawyers for the amount of paperwork that has burdened her courtroom.
The volume of paperwork,basketball jerseys cheap</ a>, though,<a href="http://www.postautomatica.com/wiki/index.php?title=Utente:Indcdvgn9#Delaware_officials_say_additional_education_funds_unlikely" title="Delaware officials say additional education funds unlikely">Delaware officials say additional education funds unlikely, is a testament to just how high the stakes are in this battle. Combined,<a href="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html" rel="bookmark">wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</ a>, Apple and Samsung account for essentially all the profits in the smartphone business.
With that much money at stake, one starts to see why the two companies are willing to spend so much money on lawyers and expert witnesses.
As for a settlement, it s not clear what would meet one company s needs while still being remotely palatable to the other.
Apple argues. But really, it is about money, just more money than was ever going to be at stake in this one trial.</html>
Predicted Manchester United XI to play Cardiff City
<html>1 day ago1 day ago
Match to be played on Sunday 24th November 2013 at 16:00. Venue: Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff.
face a trick trip to Cardiff at the weekend, hoping the international break has not killed the momentum gained by their superb 1-0 win over Arsenal a fortnight earlier.
United have several continuing injury concerns, with Michael Carrick and Danny Welbeck injured and Phil Jones picking up a groin injury on international duty this week, likely to be out for around a fortnight.
Here is how we expect to line-up:
De Gea
Smalling Vidic Evans Evra
Cleverley Fellaini
Nani Giggs
Rooney
Van Persie
Up front the duo of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney pick themselves after their displays against Arsenal, providing the Dutchman is passed fit after pulling out of Holland's international friendlies. If not Javier Hernandez is available to step in.
United's defence is also relatively straightforward although Rafael da Silva is 50/59, with Chris Smalling proving able in recent weeks to fill in for the Brazilian we expect him to continue, while Nemanja Vidic is rested from his concussion sustained against the Gunners and cleared to compete.
Midfield is clearly a concern, and the one selected above while certainly far from United's best,[http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html basketball jerseys cheap</ a>, is how we expect Moyes to pick the team.
Cleverley and Fellaini are United's more reliable options,<a href="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html" rel="bookmark">wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</ a>, which does not say much, but preferable to Anderson who we expect to make the bench.
Antonio Valencia traveled to South America with Ecuador in midweek so we expect Nani to get the nod,<a href="http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html" rel="bookmark">cheap jerseys free shipping</ a>, full of confidence after Portugal's big win. On the other wing we can see Ryan Giggs being selected in this return to Wales, full of motivation to prove in front of his country's fans he still has what it takes.
As for Shinji Kagawa,<a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/170693034119" title="Bobby Green and Ryan LaFlare ">Bobby Green and Ryan LaFlare ], who unlike Giggs has been busy on international duty? We expect the Japanese attacker to make the bench,Beschastnykh confident Kerzhakov will break his re, and be introduced for the Welshman midway through the second half...

Benitez- Wenger is the best but we'll play our own game
<html>18 hours ago18 hours ago
reiterates that is the 'best in the Premier League' but insists are only focussed on their own game plan.
Napoli coach Rafa Benitez continues to speak highly of Arsene Wenger as his side prepare to host in a must-win clash for the Partenopei. SEE ALSO:
It will require a massive performance from Napoli if they are to qualify for the next round of the Champions League and even victory over the Gunners won't guarantee progress.
While tensions are expected to run high at the Stadio San Paolo tomorrow evening,[http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html wholesale nfl jerseys china</ a>, Benitez has never disguised his admiration for opposite number Wenger.
"Wenger is the best tactician in the Premier League and he knows what his team need to do,<a href="http://justicacolaborativa.com.br/mediawiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Netznflh2" title="鈥-0 Shades of Grey鈥-Movie Cast- Jamie Dornan Talks Christi">鈥-0 Shades of Grey鈥-Movie Cast- Jamie Dornan Talks Christi],[http://symbiosisnetwork.com/showJobDetails.html cheap jerseys free shipping</ a>," the Spaniard said at his press conference.
"We need to play our game and focus on that not on what Arsenal are going to do.
"Arsenal can play a possession game or on the counterattack. We need to attack but with the right balance."
Pundits in Italy have been saying that Napoli's season could fall to pieces if they fail to get through as recent results have seen them fall off the Scudetto pace.
"We have nothing to lose. We have had a very positive competition and I came here for that.
"We were very unlucky to get such a tough group but for me it's always better to be a part of these games than to watch them on TV.
"Our game plan is to go for it. If they score one,<a href="http://kathakalinews.com/wholesale-nfl-jerseys-cheap.html" rel="bookmark">wholesale authentic nfl jerseys</ a>,<a href="http://www.sunriver-jp.com/cgi-bin/bforthcgi/glight/glight.cgi" title="S.F. bans large tour buses ar">S.F. bans large tour buses ar], we will try for four. We know Arsenal are very strong but we will give it a go."
Is Benitez right to call Wenger the best in the Premier League?
