Our daily trip through the Cubs system.
The AZL Cubs out hit the A's, but also made five errors and lost 4-3. Ryan McNeil got the start going three innings allowing no runs on two hits, while striking out two. Rafael Dolis pitched another scoreless innings in relief. The fourth inning is really where the defense cost the Cubs as Corbin Hoffner gave up three runs, only one earned in two innings. Alvido Jimenez took the loss allowing one run on two hits in two inning of work. Yasiel Balaguert had another nice night at the plate going 2-for-4 including a triple and an RBI. Carlos Penalver and David Bote also had two hits, Bote had a triple and scored a run. Alberto Mineo was 1-for-4 and drove in a run of his own. Daniel Lockhart, Shawon Dunston, and Trevor Gretzky all had one hit in the loss.
Boise put seven early, but had to hold on to beat Tri-City 7-6. The Hawks put up thirteen hits and had several players have a multi hit game. Dan Vogelbach was 3-for-5 including a triple and an RBI. Stephen Bruno had only one hit, but made it count hitting a three-run homer in the fourth. Albert Almora continued his hot stretch going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Izaac Garsez and Lance Rymel each had a two hits and they both drove in one. Jeimer Candelario only had one hit, but drove in another run. Rock Shoulders and Marco Hernandez each had a hit in the victory as well. Justin Amlung started, but did not factor in the decision as he only lasted two innings allowing one run on three hits. Michael Heesch pitched the next two innings and got the win for Boise. James Pugliese and Su-Min Jung each struggled over the next three innings, but got the game to Eduardo Orozco with the lead. Orozco closed out the game recording his fifth save as he pitched two scoreless innings striking out three. Although they allowed Tri-City to mount a comeback it was good to see Boise hold on.
Peoria lost to Burlington on Friday 5-4. Starling Peralta got the start and pitched pretty good giving up three runs, two earned on five hits in six innings. He also struck out eight in the no decision. Austin Reed took the loss in relief giving up two runs in his one inning of work. Bryce Schafer struck out three in two scoreless innings. Chadd Krist got back on track going 2-for-3 with a home run and a double. Wes Darvill and Dustin Geiger each contributed offensively with a solo home run a piece. Timothy Saunders added a triple and Sergio Burruel also had a hit. Jorge Soler was back in the lineup, but really struggled going 0-for-4 with three strike outs. It has been a tough stretch for Peoria as of late.
Going into the eighth Daytona was tied at two, but gave up three runs in the inning and lost 5-2. Kyle Hendricks started and went four innings allowing two runs on three hits in a no decision. Kyler Burke continued his struggles since going to Daytona as he gave up three runs in five innings taking his seventh loss at Daytona. Christian Villanueva had a nice night going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. John Andreoli and Nelson Perez each added two hits as well, both having a double. Javier Baez had another hit and stole two bases, his first two since moving up. Rafael Lopez added a hit in the losing effort on Friday.
Tennessee scored two in the seventh, but it wasn't enough as they lost 5-4 to Birmingham on Friday. Starting pitcher Dae-Eun Rhee took the loss giving up four runs on nine hits in just 4.2 innings. Trey McNutt gave up a run, but struck out two in his 1.1 inning of work. Casey Weathers and Brian Schlitter combined to pitch the last two innings of scoreless baseball. Rubi Silva was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Jae-Hoon Ha, Justin Bour, and Chad Noble all drove in a run without getting a base hit on Friday. Junior Lake was 1-for-3 with a triple and a run scored. Logan Watkins had a double and scored a run on the night as well.
Tied going to the eighth, Iowa put up four in the eighth and three in the ninth to beat Tucson 8-1. Dave Sappelt had a big night going 3-for-5 with a home run and a double. He also drove in four on the night. Alfredo Amezaga also had three hits and scored two runs. Diory Hernandez had a double and drove in two. Greg Rohan and Jeff Frazier each had a hit and had an RBI a piece. Nate Samson contributed to the victory with two hits of his own. In his first start with the Cubs Horacio Ramirez went six strong giving up only one run on six hits. Scott Maine got the win striking out three in his two innings and Jairo Asencio pitched a scoreless ninth to close out the game.

Sukhlal, Manohar (ca. 1888-1960)
Manohar Sukhlal was a teacher, deacon, evangelist, and minister of the Mennonite Church in India was born to a Hindu Harijan farmer family of Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh (M.P.). He was one of the 16 children admitted by William Page to the American Mennonite Mission orphanage in Dhamtari, M.P., in 1899.
He was assigned to various supervisory tasks at the orphanage, and, after completing his middle school education, he took local normal school (teacher) training. In 1912(?) he married Sukhma Bai, one of the boarding girls. They had four children. In 1917 he was sent to Jabalpur, M.P., for further teacher training at a government school after which he served as supervisor of the mission-operated primary schools in and about Dhamtari. In 1921 he was appointed to serve as headmaster of the vernacular middle school for girls in Balodgahan (later known as Garjan Memorial School).
Sukhlal early exhibited an interest in village evangelism and outreach. In 1912 he was Hindi recording secretary for the first India Mennonite Conference. In 1913 he was ordained deacon for the Sunderganj congregation and in 1931 became the first ordained Indian minister. He lived a very simple lifestyle and used unsophisticated language. He was ordained deacon for the Sundarganj congregation in Dhamtari, but served most of his pastoral years in Balodgahan. He also served in pastorates at the Shantipur Leprosy Hospital and at Ghatula. He died 24 March 1960 in retirement at his village home in Balodgahan.

A new group was formed last week here in the Hamptons that is devoted to having fewer people come to our community in the summertime rather than more. The group, called The Go Away Group or GAG, remembers the nightmare traffic we had here back in 2008, the lines at the restaurants, the lack of parking, the booting of cars, the roving gangs of celebutards and the extraordinary surliness exhibited by overworked waiters in expensive restaurants.
"We were inspired by the demonstrations on Wall Street and Long Wharf in Sag Harbor against the 1%," said Abigail Higgenbottom, who says there are already 200 members signed on. A brochure is being handed out at the Shinnecock Canal Bridge, eastbound lane, and full-page ads will be placed in the most effective media in the Hamptons, Dan's Papers.
Here is what the brochure says.
Dear City People:
Did you know that the Hamptons, which you are about to enter, are fraught with serious problems? Here is a list of just some of them. The local people have known about them for years. They just don't want you to know about them. So turn around and go back to the city. To do that, take the next major exit turnoff marked STONY BROOK SOUTHAMPTON COLLEGE, cross the tracks and make a U-turn before you get to the entrance to the college (The college is closed now. The dorms are occupied by gypsies.) Then turn left when the light turns green and you will be going back the way you came.
Note to those doing this between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.: Isn't the sunset over the road heading back to the city pretty?
Deer on the highways have always been a problem. Usually an accident is avoided when the deer runs off in time, but now a newer and larger species of deer is here—and these big deer, some more than nine feet tall and weighing as much as 500 pounds, have apparently joined some sort of extremist religious group bent on suicide. They walk out into the road when they see a car coming, sit down facing the oncoming vehicle and close their beautiful little eyes in anticipation of the deadly impact. There is speculation that they believe there is a better life for deer after death. Now they know.
As I am sure you know, the potato farmers have been in open rebellion against the summer people encroaching on their land for many years. Usually it is a peaceful rebellion—they'll steal your mail for example—but every once in awhile it flares up. Currently it is as scary as it has ever been. The farmers have developed potato bazookas. They lurk in the bushes besides the roads, heft them up on their shoulders and fire potatoes directly at all passing cars that are made in Germany, Italy or Japan and appear to be less than three years old. People have been injured and there is a lot of shattered glass on the streets. Currently, a 9 p.m. curfew is being enforced in the Hamptons.
Three months ago, a man from Hampton Bays named Erik Smart was arrested and convicted of building swimming pools that kill people. He advertised them as "bottomless swimming pools," had a nice way about him, and he built hundreds for hundreds of summer people last year. They were all the rage and you had to have one. With a bottomless swimming pool, when you are swimming around you cannot see the bottom.
But Smart, who looked harmless and trustworthy, had an evil streak. Once hired, he'd immediately build wooden fences around the part of the yard where the swimming pool was to go, then dig down 300 feet. What he built down at the 300-foot level was never revealed to the buyers. Smart told them it was his secret. In any case, beginning just after Labor Day last year, in a hot spell, owners of these pools suddenly began to disappear, never to be seen again. Anecdotal evidence from family members suggested they had died after going out to swim in the pool. There was something about the pool. But there was nobody floating in it.
It was soon found that in the trailer park where Smart lives, he has rigged up a whole set of computers to link to each of the pools he had installed. With one keystroke he could activate a secret underwater camera, a flushing mechanism and a refill with water mechanism. He could flush these people away. And he did.
Smart was sentenced last Thursday. He will perform 1,000 hours of community service to be completed by Memorial Day at which time he will be free to take off his ankle bracelet and go about his business.
It is not known how many pools are still out there that he could flush. If you cannot see the bottom of your swimming pool, it might be that you have one.
It seems that one of you globe-trotting summer folks brought back to the Hamptons late last summer a new breed of mite. It's been identified under a microscope, because you cannot see them otherwise, as a tiny but deadly new strain of mosquito that, in Barbados, are called "no-see-ums Version 2.0." because as I said, you can't see 'em. In the regular version, they cause the skin to itch, and DEET will make them go away. But with Version 2.0, immediately on contact with human flesh, the no-see-um bites a person immediately after which, in just four seconds, the person stung dies.
The local chambers of commerce are keeping it hush-hush about how many have died so far, but the worst thing, and the most ironic thing, is that there is an antidote. But the antidote, a small white pill that you slip under your tongue, takes eight seconds to enter your blood stream so by that time it's too late.
The lifeguard union, after their request for a pay increase was rejected, voted last week that when summer comes, they will permit random wildcat walkouts to take place while the guards are on duty. Since such a thing would be meaningless when nobody is drowning, the walkouts will be timed to occur when someone is.
As you know, wood ticks have been a problem on the East End ever since the first poodle was brought to Southampton in the 1880s. Ticks latch onto your dog, or your clothing or elsewhere and soon get onto your body, where they suck your blood. Fortunately ticks are large enough to be seen and felt—a creepy feeling—and so they can be pulled off and killed by being plopped into an alcoholic beverage. (Minimum 40 proof. Under that, ticks thrive.)
A new strain of tick has now been found in the Hamptons however. It is not poisonous and responds to all the removal methods, but does result in the victim developing a twitch or tick of the left eye. Nobody knows why. The twitches can last for months. Quite a few local people have them.
Environmentalists have given this new kind of tick a proper Latin name, twitchicus tickicus, and put it on the endangered list, so it is a crime to kill them.
All vegetable stands in the Hamptons were shut down last week when it was found that the owners of them were secretly going to fast food restaurants at 5 a.m. every morning to get the leftover lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and other stuff. These items are not the organic insecticide free, free-range vegetables that the stands claim they are.
Last week, the Hamptons Town Trustees voted unanimously to put up cameras at the place on the Shinnecock Canal Bridge eastbound where the GAG brochures are being given out. Everyone coming into the Hamptons will be photographed. All photographs will undergo a mandatory screening that rates every person on a one to five scale between ugly and gorgeous. A mile down the road, a police blockade will pull over all cars, remove everyone who gets only a one or two, put them in handcuffs and escort them westbound and out of the Hamptons to a Park and Ride Parking Lot in Brookhaven.
* * *
The GAG Organization, which has sponsored this pamphlet, would like you to know that in spite of all of the above, the Hamptons is a wonderful place to spend the summer. We have our great celebrities here and they are often seen around town. You should know however that this summer, for the first time, if you touch one, you will be immediately arrested. Penalties are stiff. As you know, our communities are hard-up for money just as everybody else is, and so in addition to the mandatory jail sentence, there is also a mandatory fine of $50,000 per incident.
To learn more about the GAG Organization, ask any local. They all either know about it or are active dues paying members.

Staying the Course 'With Great Energy'
Archbishop William Lori reflected on the Fortnight for Freedom and Obamacare while in Rome to receive the pallium.
ROME — Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore told the inaugural gathering at the Religious Liberty Observatory in Rome June 28 that the U.S. government's "attempt to tell the Church which of our institutions seem religious to the state is profoundly offensive."
The archbishop, in Rome to receive the pallium from Pope Benedict XVI June 29 on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, said that unless it is stopped now, the government's "narrow definition" of what a church is "will spread throughout our nation's laws and policies."
The Religious Liberty Observatory was established in 2012 by the Italian government and the city of Rome.
The archbishop, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty, was a major force behind the Fortnight for Freedom campaign that focused on religious liberty. He spoke with Rome correspondent Edward Pentin shortly before the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act June 28.
How is the Fortnight for Freedom going?
My impression is that it's going quite well. Certainly, the kickoff [at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore] was a wonderful event, if I may say so myself — just because so many people came, and there was so much enthusiasm, so much good coverage. So that was good. Cardinal [Donald] Wuerl had a wonderful gathering at George Washington University the following Sunday. There are about 90 dioceses that have posted on the USCCB website [USCCB.org] very full activities, so my impression is it's making an impact.
Can you explain to anyone who may think this campaign isn't important why it is necessary to take such a stand at this time?
What was said here at the end was so true: Religious freedom is first compromised by intolerance, and if we simply let it pass, allow the government to say, "You were tolerable only if you define yourself as a worshipping community, only if you define it as freedom of worship, but you are not tolerable otherwise," then we are simply heading towards the road of real religious persecution, of really becoming fatally compromised in our ability to speak freely and act freely. So I think it's important to try to nip it in the bud.
It's said the Church's natural state is to be under a state of persecution. Would you say this dispute, in a strange way, is a good sign, that the Church is being prophetic in a world that is never going to fully accept it?
The Lord promised us nothing less than persecution, so we should expect that it's going to happen. Indeed, it has happened consistently throughout the Church's history. Persecution takes various forms. It can be the brutal type, the subtle type; it can be under the shroud of law and civility. When the Church is persecuted, it seems to me, people begin to suddenly look at their faith, and many people value their faith more; and many people will realize how precious their faith is. So I think many lay Catholics have told me how happy they are to see how united the bishops are and how resolute they are, and I think that can only be good for our Church.
The other argument is that the Church has not done enough in the past to prevent this, that priests and bishops haven't upheld the Church's teaching on contraception, for example, as well as they might have done. Is this a natural consequence of that?
Our opponents have cleverly chosen a wedge issue. They know it's not a popular teaching, it hasn't been well defended, and so, by trying to make it a fight about contraception, they are using it as a wedge to open the door to greater violations to religious liberty. It might be a wonderful moment — it is a wonderful moment — for us to step back and say, "Why didn't we teach what we teach?" Isn't our teaching on life issues, on the sacredness of human life and its origins, a further demonstration — maybe the primary demonstration — of our teaching on the dignity of the person endowed by rights from God? It all kind of hangs together, you know.
With the decision on the Health and Human Services contraception mandate, if it does get voted down, could this administration lose the election?
I don't know. I'm not a good political analyst, and you'll have to ask someone else who knows that reality of life. I don't know what the political consequences will be. I think our concern is really to defend religious liberty. That's what we're really concerned about, and that's what we'll be really looking at if this comes down. If the whole bill is struck down, we will still maintain our position: There should be universal access to health care. It should have conscience rights in it — it should not involve using tax dollars for abortion.
And if it passes, will you step up your campaign?
We'll continue; we'll stay the course, hopefully with great energy.
What does it mean for you to be here to receive the pallium?
It's a wonderful experience; just being in Rome is always a wonderful experience. But to receive this sign of communion and pastoral love at the hands of the Holy Father will be an amazing and awe-inspiring experience and a humbling one that I hope will strengthen me in my service as a bishop of the Church.
Edward Pentin writes from Rome.

With summer in full swing and hot weather affecting a good portion of the country, I hope you will appreciate the cool Breeze from the latest issue of our newsletter. July was a busy month for us as we completed the inaugural JET Memorial Invitation Program, including a kick off and wrap up meeting in San Francisco. We will continue this trend in August as we have many programs scheduled to support Japanese-language education in the United States. They include the Summer Institute in Chicago, the first part of the annual Leadership Workshop, and the first ever J-LEAP Orientation here in Los Angeles. We have introduced many of these programs in previous issues and we hope you will come back next month to find out what happened. Please keep cool with this latest issue of Breeze.
Misako Ito, Director
On July 16th, 32 students from all across the United States gathered in San Francisco to kick off the first leg of their journey on this program. The orientation started with ice breaking activities where the participants got to know one another while working as a team. We felt that the candidates were very enthusiastic about this opportunity and many were extremely motivated to carry out the mission and goals we set to achieve with this program. On day two, the participants paid a visit to the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco to participate in two sessions that covered the details of their trip to Japan. The media was on hand to cover the story for the local press and we have included a link to the video below. After the two day orientation, the 32 participants left for Japan for their trip.
The 41st Annual Nisei Week Japanese Festival will be held from August 13-21 in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. This festival was originally named for Nisei (second) generation Japanese Americans, but has morphed into a celebration of Japanese heritage and culture here in Southern California. The week long event is highlighted by a car show, coronation ball, weekend festival, various competitions, and is capped with a grand parade. For more information regarding Nisei Week 2011, please visit http://www.niseiweek.org.
The Consulate General of Japan in Los Angeles in partnership with community organizations will host a special event to express heartfelt appreciation to the region's individuals and organizations for their outpouring of support after the March 11 earthquake. The public event will take place in Little Tokyo at JACCC's Noguchi Plaza, 180 days after the earthquake, on Wednesday, September 7 from 6 pm. There will be musical performances, sake and foods from the Tohoku region. Everyone is welcome! The photo was taken at the Sendai airport and displays a message expressing gratitude to the people of the world.
The International MANGA Award was established to share Japanese pop culture and to help promote a better understanding of Japan.

I've been using a USB 3 external hard drive to backup my Macbook Pro for a while now, and have been pleased with its reliability and fast data transfer speed. I also love that it powers itself via the USB port, letting me live a little more power cord free.
When I received the LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt SSD drive for review, I thought, "well, it's pretty, but how much better can it be?" It's just as small, powers itself via Thunderbolt (or USB) and has plenty of space on it, just like my current drive.
Then I ran a few tests and pulled up a drive speed test app on my Mac. I was blown away by the speed difference. This is one blazing fast hard drive. And, yeah, it still looks great.

Here in SoCal, we're super spoiled with a devoted sun that shines down most days of summer (June gloom be damned!). Pretty lucky, right? And it's a good thing, too, with all of the outdoor activities (catch our L.A.-area camping guide?) rounding out our to-do lists. Wasting time and those precious rays changing outfits and worrying about what to pack? Not us. When the temp heats up, we prefer an M.O. of low maintenance, but never low on luxury (natch).
True, we have our trusty LBD's and LBW's to rely on. But this summer we're making a serious argument for the simple leather sandal (henceforth, the SLS — do you think we can we make it sartorially viral?).
Imagine it: On the beach with cut-offs and cover-ups, paired with floaty frocks for daytime shopping trips, worn with simple and modern sheath dresses for night — the SLS is a trés chic addition, non? High on comfort, with go-anywhere-style in spades, this must-have shoe is like the flip flop's sleek, sophisticated, yet still comfy cousin. If you pick a style in a smooth tan or lush black leather, this just might be the only shoe you need all season. Click through to see our own wishlist of anti-flip-flop frontrunners right here.

U.S.-based Millenniata (www.mdisc.com) today announced it will offer Blu-ray M-DISCs in the second quarter of 2013, increasing both the storage capacity and the accessibility of the M-DISC.
The announcement, made at the Storage Visions Conference in Las Vegas, marks a major step forward in permanent data storage solutions for businesses and consumers by making the M-DISC available in all the standard optical disc formats.
The other major advance in the growing world-wide acceptance of the M-DISC DVD and the forthcoming Blu-ray M-DISC is the marketing and distribution partnership with Imation Corp. announced at the Storage Visions Conference by Millenniata. Millenniata and Imation, the leading world-wide distributor of data storage products, have agreed to co-brand and distribute both the M-DISC and Blu-ray M-DISC under Imation's TDK, Memorex and Imation brands.
RITEK Corporation, the leading manufacturer of optical storage media in the world, will produce the new Blu-ray M-DISC as part of its manufacturing agreement with Millenniata. In addition, RITEK has signed a license agreement with Millenniata to distribute and co-brand both the DVD and Blu-ray M-DISCs through its established distribution and reseller channels as a secondary distribution channel for the M-DISC products behind Imation.
The new Blu-ray M-DISCs will be writable and readable on any Blu-ray combo drive – an enormous step for Millenniata and the convenience of this permanent storage technology. The Blu-ray M-DISCs will also offer at least five times the amount of storage as the standard 4.7GB M-DISC.
"This is very exciting news for us and the entire permanent data storage industry," said Paul Brockbank, Millenniata president and CEO. "The new Blu-ray M-DISCs will not only open the doors to more storage space, but also allow users to employ our optical discs with virtually any Blu-ray drive."
Millenniata produces the M-DISC, which provides data loss prevention by laser etching data (files, photos, videos, etc.) into an inorganic rock-like material that is not available from any other recordable media.
A recent study performed by the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at China Lake, Calif. tested five brands of archival-quality DVD discs, including the Millenniata M-DISC for data longevity and reliability. The test found that M-DISC was the only solution that suffered no degradation or data loss under the harsh testing environments. All other discs tested failed.
Currently, only M-DISC compatible drives can write to the DVD version of M-DISC, but it can be read in any DVD drive. Millenniata partner LG Electronics offers an affordable M-Ready optical drive for customers who want the peace of mind of having their important information stored forever.
Additionally, Acer, Inc. is now offering a permanent storage solution to its global customers with the integration of M-DISC compatible Hitachi LG Data Storage (HLDS) DVD and Blu-ray optical drives in Acer computers.
The M-DISC Ready drives are available on the recently launched M series of notebooks under Acer's Aspire range. Hitachi-LG Data Storage, Inc. (HLDS) manufactures the M-DISC compatible drives in partnership with Millenniata.

Someone must have spiked Canada's drink at the turn of the millennium. A country that at one time or another brought us the MOR stylings of Bryan Adams and Shania Twain, the past six years has seen Canada witness the rise of groups like Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene. Frequently sharing members and songwriters like some incredibly incestuous yet talented family, these bands have garnered international attention based on an ability to write brilliant indie rock and collaborate in a fashion that has proven oddly productive.
Enter Swan Lake, another Canadian super-group featuring Spencer Krug of Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown, Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes and Daniel Bejar of Destroyer/The New Pornographers; three men who have written individual albums that will rightfully be marked as high points in the new wave of Canadian rock for years to come. On paper this mighty triumvirate should be a sure thing; one talented songwriter plus two more talented song writers will, in theory, equal a musical winner. But with the release of Beast Moans, their debut LP, the sums just don't add up.
Beast Moans suffers from one weakness: the three members apparently forgot to stop and listen to each other before forging ahead with their own ideas. Like a school yard full of melancholic pop tunes partaking in a massive lunchtime rumble (which in itself sounds far better than it actually is), the end result is a shambolic din that periodically allows a moment of cohesive beauty to escape before being dragged back under waves of layered noise that equal a half-hearted attempt at weak experimentation.
'Petersburg, Liberty Theatre 1914' starts slowly, with a sustained organ note that's quickly followed by the disjointed singing all three men have become known for; but instead of developing into an epic moment, it devolves into a fragment of a song that's blatantly been mucked around with by a few mates on a weekend away.
It's only on tracks such as 'All Fires' and 'Are You Swimming in Her Pools?' that the band appear to finally grasp how restraint can actually strengthen a song, and draw the listener into an insular musical world. It's a shame they failed to remember this on the remaining tracks.
What could have possibly been an album of the year is, sadly, nothing more then a footnote in the discography of three gifted individuals.

No Cease Fire!
January 14, 2009
Exclusive: Ceasefire in Gaza
Dr. Denis MacEoin
…As their Covenant makes clear, they are fighting a Jihad, and the rules they observe are Jihad rules, based on centuries of legislation about the waging of war against unbelievers. The problem with Jihad rules is that they simply don't recognize all the elements of international law that modern states base their treaties and international conventions on. Jihad law includes rules on how and when to deceive the foe, and envisages no outcome other than the death or submission of non-Muslims. …
A recent Hamas pronouncement boasted that the Palestinians (for which read Hamas) have made an industry of death and that everyone plays a part: "…the women exceed at this, and so too do the mujahideen [fighters in jihad] and the children. That's why they have formed human shields of the women the children the elderly and the mujahideen in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine." (My italics)
This is the only fighting force in history to boast that they have made human shields of their own people. There are films of "brave" Hamas gunmen dragging screaming children along to serve as shields, and of civilians sent onto the roofs of rocket launching sites, where, ironically, they know the Israelis will not fire on them. It is a mockery of military ethics, yet it goes barely noticed in the Western media….
This war is not a pretty war, but, truth be told, no wars are pretty. If Hamas cannot be fought to a standstill or until it is a spent force, lulls in the fighting will be of absolutely no use. Beaten to a ceasefire, Hamas will return. They will return and they will fight to a standstill again, then they will regroup and attack once more. More deaths, of Israelis and Palestinians both. Ever-postponed statehood for the Palestinians, unending vituperation of Israel, which is only a democracy trying to defend its civilians from crimes this country would not bear for a week.
I have given you a substantial sample of this fact filled, logical explanation of the situation in Gaza. Click the title link and read it all. Read the concluding paragraph twice. You will learn a great deal about Hamas and its malicious mission. You will learn about the world's double standard and why it is morally unacceptable. You will learn why there must be no cease fire. You need to know; you must inform others.
Stand up and fight
Israel must learn to stand up for herself and tell the objectors to go to Hell. There is no national dignity in crawling to France on bended knee begging the President for 'time'.
Time is one thing we all have in common, 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day. Time can not be begged, borrowed, bought nor extended. Will you use your time wisely before you die and must answer for it, or will you quiver in fear of 'world opinion'?
Israel does not have much time. Her demise has been a dream in the minds of Muslims since her rebirth in '48. Now Iran is on the verge of building an atomic bomb capable of destroying her. Israel must choose: extermination or opprobrium. Israel must demonstrate that she possesses ability, will & resolve to exterminate her enemies before they exterminate her. I am not sure she has those qualities, and her enemies are convinced that she lacks them.
Proxies of Iran
Hamas & Hezbollah are proxies for Iran. In this writer's opinion, Iran has sent Hamas to soften up Israel, using up vast quantities of ordinance. This will set the stage for Hezbollah to launch salvos of missiles, drawing Israel into a second front.
When Israel goes into Lebanon to stop the missile launches, Hamas will use their reserve arsenal to resume and increase their attacks. Then Syria will chime in to further wear down Israel for Iran's final push.
Israel needs to tell the U.N., E.U., N.G.O.s, regional organizations, heads of state and international news & opinion media to sit down and shut up. This affair is none of their business. It is Israel's business; a matter of her survival.
No Hudna!
There must be no cease fire. Islam does not cease fire until it obtains victory. It only slows the rate of fire while it rearms and regroups. Pull your head from your anal orifice, wipe the drek from your eyes and learn something useful from Allah's unholy book.
47:35. So be not weak and ask not for peace (from the enemies of Islam), while you are having the upper hand. Allah is with you, and will never decrease the reward of your good deeds.
47:36. The life of this world is but play and pastime, but if you believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and fear Allah, and avoid evil, He will grant you your wages, and will not ask you your wealth.
Islam will only seek Hudna when they perceive that they are too weak to achieve victory. They don't give a damn about being killed, they worry about failing Allah by not following his command to the letter; they fear being cast into Hellfire for shirking Jihad.
No Monitors
There must be no 'peace keepers'; no 'international monitors'. You can not keep anything that does not exist. While there is Islam there is no peace. You ain't got it; you can't keep it! What good have the monitors done in Lebanon? They disarmed seven missiles. Big deal! They allowed Hezbollah to re-arm right under their noses. The U.N. is part of the problem, not part of the solution; it does not act in good faith. Such personnel in the area can only serve as shields for Hamas to hide behind as they launch their rockets; they'll serve no other purpose.
Total Victory
Israel must totally destroy all of the Hamas infrastructure & armament, leaving no reserve or residue. All of their supply tunnels, missile factories, explosives laboratories, ammunition dumps and underground bunkers must be found and destroyed.
No Human Shields
Hamas launches missiles from residential areas and school yards. They store missiles and bombs in apartment buildings and Mosques. All such places must be leveled; reduced to rubble. There must be no sanctuaries. They use human shields; they must learn that no shield is effective against righteous indignation. Let them scream & caterwaul. Let them mourn. Let the whole world see that it is all for show. People who teach their children that martyrdom is their highest aspiration; who dress them in bomb vests and send them to blow up Jews have no grounds for complaint when the Jews retaliate. Human shields must not be allowed to deter retaliation!
Collateral Damage
Civilians get maimed & killed. So what? Hamas and other Muslims deliberately maximize civilian casualties; it is part of their strategy of casting terror. Let them taste their own medicine. Israel seeks to minimize collateral damage. Let her wise up and send her enemies to Allah's waiting claws in the fire pit.
Its War, Idiot!
This is war, not a congeniality contest in a beauty pageant. Islam seeks to reconquer Israel; to slaughter her citizens and render the world Judenrein. Islam can't quit. They have a demonic mandate to conquer the entire world and rid it of Jews. They can not obtain their promised Houris, rivers of wine and low hanging fruit until they hunt down and kill the last Jew.
Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
No Peace Partner
There are no moderate Muslims to negotiate with because there is no moderate Islam. Islam is immoderate; it is extreme in its original substance. Muslims sell their souls to Allah; they fight in his cause, kill and are killed in return for admission to the gardens after they die.
Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .
Allah's Orders
Get a clue!! Read Allah's damn book and see for yourself what he commands Muslims to do.
Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
That is the Hilali & Khan translation. Need more clarity? Try Rodwell's translation of Al-Taubah 29.
Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God, or in the last day, and who forbid not that which God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth, until they pay tribute out of hand, and they be humbled.
Is there some part of that you don't comprehend? Then read Ibn Kathir's Tafsir of that ayeh: The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah.
Allah Promised
Allah made promises; by withstanding 60 years of Islamic aggression, Israel proves Allah's promises to be null and void; proves Allah to be an impotent idol. No Muslim can tolerate that. For this reason, there will be no peace until Islam is extinct.
2:137. So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided, but if they turn away, then they are only in opposition. So Allah will suffice you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
8:66. Now Allah has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you a hundred steadfast persons, they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they shall overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allah. And Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).
13:41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land (of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its outlying borders. And Allah judges, there is none to put back His Judgment and He is Swift at reckoning.
40:51. Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) in this world's life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection),
Allah promised, he has not delivered.
Common Sense
There is only one way to stop a determined, persistent predator. Islam has persisted in aggression for nearly 1400 years. Let that aggression come to an end, permanently.
No Appeasement
Islam's Jihad, genocide & terror will not be ended by concessions, good will gestures, negotiation or appeasement. They will be ended by making Islam extinct. Israel will have neither peace nor security until there are no Muslims within rocket range. You get more of what you reward and less of what you punish.

Speedshop Type One by Torafu Architects
"Not your usual body shop: The Speedshop Type One designed by Torafu Architect surprises with a sleek and minimalistic interior. Free of all superfluous nick-nacks with a focus on servicing functionality, the working space is stripped to its bare essentials. In the course of re-designing the shop, elements originally present, such as the aluminum canopy hanging from the top lights, push carts and the rough-feeling cemented excelsior board walls have been fully integrated into the new concept. In order to highlight the cars on display, the shop is tinted largely in desaturated colours."

When Will the Changes Occur?
Kevin J. Todeschi
We have become so accustomed to change that we no longer recognize it when it happens. Ours is the age of the worldwide web, interactive social networks, and virtual reality. We possess the ability to find the answer to virtually any question at the touch of a button. Our grocery store checkout lines read prices with lasers, we don't have to even leave our home to buy virtually any product or service online, and all 14,000 Edgar Cayce readings are available instantaneously on the worldwide web. Whether in medicine, relationships, technology, ecological-awareness, or internationalism, the earth today is very different than it was even 10-15 years ago.
There are wars and rumors of war broadcast around the globe in the blink of an eye. We hear of floods and famine and hate-crimes as they occur; and a day doesn't pass when we don't see renewed evidence of gang-wars or drugs or our inhumanity to one another. But all of this information has become so common that we may often simply shrug our shoulders, change the channel, or turn the page. In many places, the world has become more fractured than ever before, as politics, race, sexuality, culture and especially religion divide us. Countless thousands of individuals have been killed, are dying, or have given up all sense of hope. The dis-eases of our time have crippled bodies, tortured minds, or imprisoned souls. And yet, in spite of the fact that change is all about us, some of us continue to wait for the Big One as evidence of "changing times."
On a more positive front, our age of change has also had more life-affirming ramifications. Many events have been hope-renewing: the collapse of Communism, the formation of the European Economic Community, a renewed sense of hope in solving such issues as the oil crisis, the healthcare crisis, and the ever-growing awareness that we must bind together as one planet to heal the ecological world we call home. There has even been a renewed sense of faith in God for hundreds of thousands. We are now allies and friends with those we once fought.

I have read numerous articles recently around the benefits of utilising metadata in SharePoint Server 2010 as opposed to the age-old folder paradigm.
While I have found these articles useful in solidifying my understanding of managed metadata, a recent client query prompted me to scratch my head around the best approach to migrate a "file share" like folder structure to SharePoint.
The existing structure is as follows:
3 folders deep. Unique permissions at each folder.
Here's a fictional example:
IT (folder, unique permissions) > Operations (folder, unique permissions) > Security (folder, unique permissions)
I can't imagine this is in any way unusual for a file share structure.
If it weren't for the use of unique permissions I would happily recommend the use of 3 columns (Area of Business, Category, Subcategory) to allow filtering and sorting within one document library.
I have considered document sets (as you can assign a set of unique permissions and metadata), but this doesn't allow a nested approach and therefore fails to support a 3 level hierarchy.
The only options appear to be either using folders or separate document libraries at the 2nd level (in the example above, "IT" would be a site and "operations" would be a document library). However, neither approach allows metadata to be rolled up.
Does anyone have any alternative suggestions? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

What is non-woven fabric?
Non-woven fabric is created using a heat process to entangle fibers. The result is an engineered material that mimics the appearance and texture of sheer woven fabric without being as delicate. Because of this, each aisle runner is resistant to tearing yet intended for a single use. The translucent nature of the material allows the natural wood grain of chapel floors or other floor surfaces beneath to intermingle with your chosen design, adding romance and softness to your wedding aisle.
Choose plain white for a clean sophisticated look.
Choose white with hearts pattern for a subtle textured effect the entire length of the runner.
Aisle runner will begin where the ceremony will take place, and will unroll towards the entrance where it will end.

In the words of the Prophet, "It is finished."
(PLEASE NOTE: I'm using the picture to make my point, not for any religious purposes.)
After giving this some thought recently, and after reviewing the requirements for a work visa application, I've decided to stop looking for employment opportunities in the United Kingdom.
The visa application website requires potential applicants to qualify for a certain amount of points before moving forward. I hadn't looked at it since 2010, so I didn't remember what the requirements were. I took the preliminary test to see if I could go ahead with the application, and I met each requirement… except the sponsorship part. Therefore, I couldn't go ahead with the application.
I don't think it's too difficult to get sponsorship in my profession from employers over there. What is difficult, however, is finding a reputable recruiter/recruiting agency to find a decent employer willing to offer sponsorship. Unfortunately, my experiences over the past few months led me to believe that most recruiters/recruiting agencies over there are shady. They've shat on me from the start, making shoddy promises and displaying a major lack of professionalism. Here are 2 examples of their "professionalism":
Hi (Spinster),
I am looking to see if i can find a worksponser for you in London, will keep you posted ASAP
Recruiter Name
(P.S. I copied/pasted the e-mail exactly how the recruiter sent it to me.)
(P.P.S. The e-mail subject was "." Yes… a period – that thing with which we end sentences.
Another one never spelled my government name correctly and used smiley faces in e-mail correspondence. (And no, it wasn't a woman.)
I got so fed up with recruiting agencies over there, I decided to change the settings on 1 employment website such that recruiters can no longer contact me. I also changed the settings on another employment website such that neither my former employer nor another shady employer – which flaked out on me 3 times – can ever contact me again. If I work over there again, it'll be on my terms and to hell with recruiters/recruiting agencies overall.
I'm also still experiencing the negative effects of what the former employer did to me. Now don't get me wrong… overall, my time living in the United Kingdom was alright, but the last few months of my time there – along with my current challenges – left a really bad taste in my mouth. I try not to let those months color my whole view of the country, but I admit that it's very difficult.
Will I live/work there – or any other country outside of the United States – ever again? I don't know. After this experience, I don't think I want to expatriate again. (I'll always love travelling, though – that'll never change.) But I'm not 100% certain about this, so who knows what the future holds. I've applied & looked for jobs all over so I'll go wherever the money is. And if that means leaving the country again to get back on my feet, then so be it… even if – since I know that expatriation isn't all cupcakes & roses – I go kicking & screaming for 1-3 years. However, I'd prefer getting my life back on track here, not in another country.
When I returned to the States, the ticket was round-trip because it was cheaper than a one-way ticket, and I scheduled to return sometime in Spring 2014. I plan on changing the ticket date to later this year. (Hopefully my life will be drastically different by then.) If I still feel a certain way about the country (and it is possible that I may feel the same way in the future), I'll cancel the ticket altogether. But I think it'd be good to see a few of my old colleagues and a couple of friends, so I'll likely just change the date instead of cancelling altogether.
There's a lot more, but I'm going to end here. I don't want to pass on my doom & gloom to anyone reading this, and many things are better left unsaid (until later?). It ain't over until the fat lady sings. I'm fat, but I'm not singing… yet.
(WARNING: the following song has curses and derogatory words)
I will not lose…

The Duke men's and women's swimming and diving teams are set to resume competition Saturday, Jan. 11 when they travel to Columbia, S.C. to face South Carolina in a dual meet at the Gamecocks' Carolina Natatorium. Live results will be available for Saturday's action, which begins at 1 p.m. with the diving events, followed by the swimming events at 2 p.m.
Scouting the Competition
The South Carolina men were tied for 25th in the Dec. 11 CSCAA Division I rankings and own a season ledger of 3-1 while the women's team is 1-3 heading into Saturday's matchup. The squads concluded the fall portion of the season with a pair of second-place finishes at the Virginia Tech Invite in late November, registering 15 NCAA provisional time standards over the three-day meet.
Redshirt freshman Kevin Leithold paced the Gamecock men during the fall and ranks among the top-50 men's swimmers nationally in the 100-yard freestyle, 100 breaststroke and the 200 IM. On the women's side, junior Victoria Mitchell has won 11 individual events so far in 2013-14 since transferring to South Carolina from Louisville. In diving, juniors Cole Miller and Patricia Kranz each garnered SEC Diver of the Week accolades during the fall.
Last Time We Met
The Blue Devil men and women turned in a number of strong performances but were unable to hold off South Carolina in their regular season home finale Jan. 12, 2013 in Taishoff Aquatic Pavilion. The men's dual meet came down to the final relay with Duke falling to the Gamecocks by a 159-141 margin. South Carolina also picked up a win over the Blue Devils on the women's side, 184-115.
Duke swimmers and divers totaled 12 individual and two relay victories on the day, highlighted by Hunter Knight's record-setting swim in the 100 breaststroke.
Colella's Take
"It's great to get outside of the conference and swim an SEC school," said head coach Dan Colella. "I see the women being extremely competitive … The score is going to go back and forth throughout the course of the meet and it's probably going to go down to the last relay, which is always exciting. For the men, it's an opportunity to swim a top-25 team. They have improved considerably over the last couple years on the men's side. We definitely have the ability to race and be extremely competitive."
Blue Devils Close Fall at Nike Cup
Over the course of three days at the 2013 Janis Hope Dowd Nike Cup Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C., the Blue Devil men and women recorded seven first-place finishes, set two program records and achieved 15 NCAA 'B' cuts and 17 NCAA Zone Diving Championships qualifying marks. The women finished fourth out of seven squads in the final standings while the men also placed fourth out of six teams.
Senior Christine Wixted broke program records in the 200 breaststroke and the 200 IM at the meet and classmate Nick McCrory swept the men's diving events with three standout performances.
McCrory Competes at USA Diving Winter Nationals
Senior diver Nick McCrory earned a spot on the United States' 2014 FINA World Cup team in December with a second-place finish on the 3-meter springboard at the USA Diving Winter National Championships in Austin, Texas. He totaled 1434.25 points through the preliminary, semifinal and finals rounds to finish second behind only his Olympic 10-meter synchronized diving partner David Boudia (1442.80).
Swimmers Travel to Florida for Annual Training Trip
The Blue Devil men's and women's swimmers headed south to train in the sun and warm weather the week after finals in December. The teams completed one week of training and also enjoyed a little relaxation in Islamorada and Key Largo during the annual trip.
Duke in the National Landscape
Senior Christine Wixted currently ranks second in the ACC and is tied for 13th in the country with her 100 breaststroke time of 1:00.27 at the Nike Cup. Fellow senior Hunter Knight is among the top 40 male swimmers nationally in the 100 (54.19) and the 200 breaststroke (1:58.87), while the women's 200 freestyle relay of senior Lauren Weaver, senior Christine Wixted, freshman Maddie Rusch and sophomore Chelsea Ye ranks fifth in the ACC with a mark of 1:32.18. Rusch is also second in the conference and 33rd nationally in the 50 freestyle at 22.61. In diving, senior Nick McCrory paces the conference on all three disciplines.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The southwest corridor of San Francisco is going to get all the golf it can handle over the next decade.
TPC Harding Park will host the Match Play Championship in 2015, the PGA Championship in 2020 and the Presidents Cup in 2025. The announcement was made Wednesday by PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, PGA of America President Ted Bishop and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee at a swanky City Hall news conference.
Speaking on the second-floor balcony outside the mayor's office to a crowd that included about 100 leaders and golf officials, Finchem said the coordination between the PGA Tour and PGA of America to stage all three events at the same venue is unprecedented. He said he hopes similar collaboration can be done in the future to benefit both organizations and their fans.
"Today is an announcement of a lot of firsts," Finchem said.
The trio of tournaments adds to an aggressive schedule in the area.
The Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, which was held on the last weekend of April this year, is set to return to Lake Merced just down the road in Daly City in 2015. And the inaugural U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship is scheduled from April 30 to May 6 at The Olympic Club, where the U.S. Open was last held in 2012.
Organizers are counting on the sports-saturated Bay Area market -- loaded with corporate dollars from San Francisco to Silicon Valley -- to provide support behind the ropes and on sponsorship banners.
The PGA Tour's commitment to hold the Match Play at Harding Park is only for one year. The tournament had typically been held in February the past eight years at Dove Mountain outside Tucson, Arizona. But the PGA Tour's contract with title sponsor Accenture ended after this year's event, leaving the event's future uncertain.
The tournament is set for April 29 to May 3 -- the week before The Players Championship -- next year to improve the chances of dry conditions at Harding. The title sponsor for the 2015 tournament remains unclear.
The Match Play's debut at Harding also will feature a new format. The tournament will have a similar structure to the World Cup, with group play leading into single-elimination matches.
The reconfiguration will ensure that all 64 players -- determined by the Official World Golf Ranking, as in the past -- are around for at least three days. Previously, single-elimination from the outset often led to quick exits for top players and fan favorites.
"It's a lot more golf," Finchem said. "It's a ton of golf. We know the fans here will relish the opportunity to have that much more golf."
Finchem, Bishop and Lee all credited Frank "Sandy" Tatum for bringing the events to Harding. Tatum, a longtime San Francisco attorney and former president of the U.S. Golf Association who turns 94 on Monday, spearheaded a renovation of the course and clubhouse, which now bears his name.
Finchem also quoted players such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson as being excited about the announcements. He said Johnny Miller told him he honed his famed putting skills on Harding's practice greens.
Bishop said there was never any discussion of holding the PGA Championship at another club in San Francisco, which has never hosted the event. He also said the season's final major in 2020 might also be reworked on the schedule because of the Olympics that year.
After going more than 40 years without being played on a public course, the PGA Championship is now headed to two in a row.
The 2019 event will be played at Bethpage Black on New York's Long Island. The last PGA Championship on a municipal course was in 1974 at Tanglewood Golf Course in North Carolina.
The PGA Championship has not been played on the West Coast since 1998 at Sahalee Country Club outside Seattle. The 2020 event at Harding Park also gives California majors in three consecutive years, with the U.S. Open going to Pebble Beach in 2019 and Torrey Pines in 2021.
Harding Park has never hosted a major, but it was the site of the 2009 Presidents Cup won by the U.S. The Presidents Cup features 24 of the world's top golfers -- 12 from the U.S. and 12 from around the world, excluding Europe -- in a team match-play competition.

The Real Madrid star at least was honest last week, when he expressed why he feels opposing fans heckle him, thus reinforcing those fans' notion of him as an arrogant prick. Here, he shows his appreciation for all the love, though he later was less than forthright by lamely trying to explain it away as mere clowning around with a teammate. But come on, Cristiano. We know you think those poor, ugly saps who can't play the game envy you because they're losers whose lives just plain suck. Show them you mean it and stand by it.

Thoughts on the match:
Well it's tough to play on the turf, I think Vancouver adjusted to the surface a bit better than us. I think we made a few mistakes along the road that probably cost us the game. Also in the first half I think they had a couple opportunities to score but we were fortunate not to give up the goal. The second half I thought we controlled the game; we made mistakes and then paid for it. It's a tough place to play on the road and we're going home empty handed.
On Higuain's contribution to the game
He is a special player obviously, you want him to score a goal and assist every single game but I think he is busy and continuing to play well.
On Kobayashi's long distance shot
That was a very good shot from distance, from where I was sitting it looked like the goalie probably misjudged the shot. That is why people come to the stadium, to see shots like this.
On the final result:
It was an unfortunate result. Away from home it's going to be tough but I felt like we dealt with some things and played some good stuff at times but in the end we're not happy, no points isn't what we were hoping for.
On the mistake that led to the second Whitecaps FC goal:
I'm not sure, I haven't talked to them. I don't know if the stadium was loud and they can't really hear each other. It's just a miscommunication but things are going to happen like that. We've got to learn from them and deal with them as they come
On how close a match it was:
It was a tight game. At different parts of the game Vancouver got the better of the game, other times we had the better of the game and they were lucky they finished the chances that they had. When we had the chances we couldn't finish them and the goalie made great saves. It was really unfortunate that we couldn't win.
On Columbus Crew's home opener against San Jose Earthquakes next week:
We're really excited to be back at home and to have the home opener, especially because we get to play in front of our fans. We need to keep winning games and keep rolling in the league, so there's a lot of work to do and hopefully on Saturday we'll win three points and be back on track.
On what Columbus Crew need to improve on:
It was a very close game and we played good. We lost the game because we made a mistake but that's part of the game. But we had to keep working, we need to keep fixing the mistakes that we make, keep improving what we're doing right and focusing on the next game. It's a home game and we need to get the three points.
On his goal:
I'm happy that I scored again, my first goal of the season. Unfortunately it didn't help the team to win the game so I'm kind of frustrated because of that. But that's what the forwards do, they score goals so I will try to keep scoring and try to do everything to win.
Thoughts on the match
It was a very entertaining game, one of the most exciting games since I've been here as a coach, probably one of the most exciting games at BC Place. Definitely we created more chances in this game than in any other game since I've been here so that's encouraging. We had that one letdown for the goal which was disappointing but overall our play we were very strong today; we scored two goals but created enough chances to score more and looked very comfortable in possession at times. We managed a game against a team that I feel is very strong in Columbus who came off a big win against Chivas. It's nice for us to start the season with two wins and also to play really well today I was happy with that.
On the loss of Demerit
Last season it would have been hard for us to handle that but this season we do have some replacements who can take over; Brad Rusin did very well again today and we do have some others leaders in the team now. We definitely miss Jay; we are disappointed about that now but we have to move on.
On Kenny Miller's form after coming in last season
He's just like most players who come in part season, apart from Higuain. It takes a little time to settle but he was one of our best players in preseason and fantastic again today scoring a goal by closing down and chasing someone down. He definitely deserved it because he was running back to the left back all day and worked really hard for them team; showing how great of a player he is.
On Kobayashi's Goal
It was fantastic; as soon as he hit it I thought it was in. I don't think I've jumped that high in a while when I saw that go in. That spell of the game we were playing very well and the movement that Daigo got on the ball had him in dangerous areas and they backed off a little bit and he couldn't have made it any better. Has there been a better goal than that in BC Place? For a while I don't think so, that has been the best for sure.
On responding to Columbus' goal
We showed good character but there's good experience and good confidence in our team. Including preseason our eighth game in ten that we've won so that builds confidence and I think even until we did lose that goal it didn't alter the game much and we did have possession and still created a lot of chances so it was well worth the win. We could have been ahead maybe a few more.
On Hurtado's disallowed goal
I thought he was onside but obviously I haven't seen it again so I'll have to see from a better angle but the ball becomes the offside line in that situation and Hurtado came from behind the ball from what I could tell but I need to see it again.
On playing younger players
We've got confidence in our young players and as much as we can we're going to get them out there on the field. I think if we had taken our chances it would have been a bit more comfortable and we could have got them on a bit earlier. Eric brings a lot of energy to the team and he creates a lot of chances. It's hard for any team to play against him especially when they're tired.
On the amount of chances created
I have to look at it again I felt that we could have scored five from our clear chances. Maybe when I look at it later I'll think I'm exaggerating or that we could have had ten I'm not sure I'll have to look again. It was definitely more chances created than ever since I've been coach here which is an encouraging side because first we tried to do initially is make our team solid defensively and then improving our possession; because of our possession being better today we created more chances. That's what we want to be doing but we also want to be taking those chances and putting a flair reflection on the score.
On playing style and fan reaction
It was exciting to watch and I think all the fans that came today got their money's worth and contributed a lot to the atmosphere, it was fantastic. It really is a great connection between the team and the fans. Some of that combination play was of a very high standard and that's very encouraging.
On the upcoming bye week
I'm happy to have a break it's a very long season, and one of the things I learned last season is that it goes on for a long time and you need breaks and a chance to have a rest. We've been away from home a lot in preseason and done a lot of hard work so to me this is the end of the preseason phase and a few days off, we look forward to getting back to it next week.
On the amount of finishers on the team
No I definitely think we've got the finishers. I think that the first sign is that they're getting in positions to score goals, maybe we a couple chances could have dealt with some of the chances a bit better but I believe there are guys here to score the goals if we create the chances for them.
On Kenny Miller's goal
Kenny has been one of our best players since preseason and the start of the season he has done fantastically well. It was really nice to see him get a goal today.
On Kenny Miller's leadership role
He's responded well and he's been the captain on a lot of teams. I don't think it's any kind big deal to him
On Y.P Lee's positive form
I'm very happy. I can't give Y.P enough credit either; some of his performances in the first two games have been unbelievable. I'm going to need to start talking him into another season. Y.P has defended well too and is exceptional at getting forward.
On the technical players fitting into the playing style
We always want to attack with our fullbacks and get into the good positions but this year it's easier because we're keeping the ball better and were moving it into good areas and then switching it out with technical players getting forward.
Thoughts on the match:
You know, just really proud of the team for going out there and getting another win with six points now on the season. I couldn't be more proud of them.
On his goal being called back offside:
I don't think it was offside, but in the end the ref makes the decision, we just have to adapt to that.
Thoughts on the match:
I thought we played well, and we did last week. It was disappointing to lose a goal so early [in the second half], but we regrouped again and it's another three points. We're delighted to get the win.
On scoring his first goal of the season:
It's always nice to go off the mark as a striker. You're always going to be judged on goals. But again, I said before, more importantly two home games at the start of the season was an opportunity to put some early points on the board; maximum points for us, it's a delight to see that.
Thoughts on the match:
Yeah it was a great win for us, you know it was a hard-fought game. We created so many chances, that's a big positive we can take from it. We've got to make sure we can take the chances.
On getting a second straight win:
It's about performing each game, and getting that winning mentality. It's the foundation we want to have for this club.

You just can't keep a secret in the tech industry these days. Early pictures of T-Mobile's Google phone leaked onto the Web the week before its Sept. 23 launch, and now images are surfacing online of another eagerly awaited device: a new handheld from Research In Motion (RIM), the BlackBerry Storm. RIM hasn't officially launched the new device yet and it declined to comment on the leak but the Storm is clearly a direct assault on Apple's iPhone 3G and T-Mobile's G1. It's also an attempt to wow consumers with both a jazzy new design and an App Center filled with games and other add-on programs.
On Saturday, an independent site called Boy Genius Report leaked a 17-page PowerPoint presentation that purported to show the touchscreen Storm, along with an App Center that mimics Apple's App Store and Google's Android Market. The site followed up on Monday with a Storm user guide that TIME was unable to access probably because too many other folks were attempting to do the same thing but which was promptly reposted on CrackBerry. RIM would not confirm that the leaked photos were of the Storm, but by Monday afternoon the images had been published and identified as RIM's new device on a handful of sites, including ZDnet.com, Information Week, Gizmodo, CNET News.com and CrunchGear.
What's so exciting about yet another BlackBerry? The brand has built a reputation as a secure and reliable, though somewhat stodgy, e-mail device for corporate types, but the Storm could help recast BlackBerry as a viable, exciting option for consumers as well. Unlike most devices from the smartphone maker based in Waterloo, Canada, the Storm won't have a physical keyboard, allowing for a larger, 3.2-in. touchscreen and a much neater appearance. And with a wide range of after-market applications including Facebook, a blackjack game and a GPS navigation program it should also be a lot more fun to use. All apps can be downloaded via a built-in browser, but it is not clear whether the App Center will be accessible from older models of BlackBerry handhelds. The Storm is expected to run on Verizon's 3G network and also support wi-fi, so downloading the apps should be fairly quick. As an added bonus, the Storm will reportedly feature intuitive cut-and-paste functionality a huge selling point for e-mail junkies who have long favored the BlackBerry brand.
Other noteworthy features include the built-in GPS, a media player and landscape mode for viewing Web pages horizontally and typing e-mails. (The iPhone 3G does not let you type e-mails in horizontal mode.) The screen is about the same size and resolution as the iPhone, while the built-in camera is slightly better at 3.2 megapixels, vs. 2.0 megapixels on the iPhone. You can also record video a feature strangely lacking on the iPhone and G1.
Feature-rich smartphones like the BlackBerry and iPhone are one of the few bright spots in an otherwise stagnant cell-phone market. Of the estimated 1 billion cell phones sold worldwide this year, more than 181 million were smartphones a number that is expected to more than double by 2011, according to ABI Research. One out of 10 cell phones currently has a touchscreen.
RIM declined TIME's request for comment on the leaked information about the Storm. But with a formal announcement expected by Wednesday, the Web buzz that began this spring about the hot new BlackBerry has turned into a roar.
