text: Seattle—Amazon.com Inc. has agreed to begin collecting sales tax on online purchases by New Jersey residents in exchange for opening Amazon distribution warehouses in the state. The deal goes into effect in July 2013. Amazon has battled moves by several states to tax online sales by out-of-state companies, charging that it would harm its legions of affiliated resellers. Most recently the company struck a deal with Texas that is similar to its arrangement with New Jersey, agreeing to increase its in-state presence, add jobs and collect sales tax on items sold to Texas residents. The Direct Marketing Association has fought on behalf of Amazon and its affiliated resellers. This spring, DMA won an injunction against the director of the department of revenue in Colorado, blocking enforcement of a new law in the state that required out-of-state e-commerce businesses to report residents' purchases to the state so that it can collect sales tax.

Skip to comments.The layoffs have only just begun; when will they end?
Posted on 11/12/2012 8:49:19 AM PST by jmaroneps37
It didnt take long. The layoffs and closings are piling up. The saddest thing about compiling this list is that by the time today is over, the list will probably have grown dramatically.
The next saddest part is that at least some of these lay off employees voted for Barack Obama because they didnt believe this would happen. These are more than just headlines. Every number represents real people who have lost their livelihood.

Mission accomplished!
The policies of the brilliant, really-really smart, intensely bright, intellectual geniuses of the Progressive movement are goint to bring a worker's paradise to the United States.
I love Christmas lights. They remind me of the people who voted for Obama.
They all hang together; half of them don't work, and the ones that do,
aren't all that bright.

There will be plenty of new jobs in the future.
A lot of companies are going to split their 40 hour jobs into two 20 hour jobs to avoid Obamacare.
Welcome to Baraq's "new normal"
Yup. Coward Piven strategy.
My firm laid-off seven longtime employees on Friday. We are a small company with less than 200 employees. Interesting that none of the Ivy League managing directors lost their jobs.
Doesn't work they will add the number of part time hours worked so two part time workers at 20 hours each will count as one full time.
We haven't even begun to see the bottom of this abyss.
How much longer until the killing starts?
System is overwhelmed.
The black market, underground economy, barter and trade, back-alley trade, whatever you want to call it, shall become the base of the economy in coming months and perhaps years. A LOT of business will be "off the books", so as not to be subject to taxation, and a goodly portion of production of hard goods will take place in people's garages and back yards.
For pointers on how to do this, look up old copies of "The Mother Earth News". They started out as "environmentalists", but they were also very much into "screwing the Man". Which means, tax avoidance (a different thing than tax evasion, by the way), which has the secondary effect of denying revenue to the Federal Government. Starve the beast, live off the grid, and it shall wither on the vine.
Of course, the folks at Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians of Waco had something of the same idea, and you know what AG Janet Reno did to THOSE people.
Semper Paratus. And this does not just apply to the Coast Guard.
First steps of nationalization. Demonize the producers by destroying their ability to produce, and blaming it on them. That's the whole goal here. Energy, food, industry, finance; all of these are under attack right now, with players on both sides involved. If we're lucky, we'll become Argentina, if not, we become a spitting image of china. Don't think it can happen here? Think again, it's already started.
Don't understand your comment. A lot of companies are doing it already:
The companies themselves and people like the "Ivy League managing directors" in this case will be demonized and blamed, instead of the blame being place squarely where it belongs- on Obama and the progressive agenda.
It's just another opportunity to wage class warfare against the folks who do produce jobs. This can't work in a capitalistic system. When overhead increases, and the cost cannot be passed along to the consumer (ie- Obamacare) jobs and wages must be cut. Or the entire business goes down.
>>Sadly the list continues.<<
The sad part is that they are not all obozo voters.
The ones who DID vote for him can go to hell. I hope they and their families have a miserable Christmas and they can steep in the evil juices of their "victory."
They can try mandating something like that, but it will be even worse. Take the restaurant industry. They have to fight costs hard. If Obama mandates that two 20 hour employees are really one 40 hour employee, they will fire the extra employee. They will have to pay the ObamaCare plan, which means they will have to pass the costs onto the customer. When the costs are passed on, food prices will rise and people will refuse to eat out and stay home to cook for themselves. Then the restaurant industry will collapse, except for the few luxury dining places where food costs really don't matter.
I remember reading a while ago that the employee number Hussein's healthcare will use to force healthcare on employers, will be the number of employees in early 2013, even though it starts in 2014 - companies have to report the number to the govn. in early 2013. That will be the employee number the IRS will use for fines if the company doesn't give the employees healthcare.
So, companies are dumping employees now before reporting time so their number will be less.
This is their plan. To limit small business from growing and expanding so government can run larges businesses and the voting sheeple step right in line.
I've seen serveral cars sporting "I love ObamaCare"
A small business in Minnesota. Five liberals...soon.
The ones who DID vote for him will not have to travel to go to hell. Obama and his extremist followers will do their best to turn the United States into hell within four years.

St. Salvator Church is a part of the former Jesuit College of St Clement (Klementinum) by Charles Bridge. Founded in the 16th century, it was completed in the 17th century by famous Italian architect Carlo Lurago and belongs to the most valuable early baroque buildings in Prague. Its architecture was inspired by the main Jesuit church Il Gesu in Rome, a model for many sacred buildings in the baroque era. Today the church belongs to the academic parish.
Tradition of organ concerts in St. Salvator Church is very long. Beautiful (recently restored) organ from the 18th century used to be played by a number of Jesuit composers who worked in the temple, but also by famous composers of 18th century such as Jan Dismas Zelenka or Jakub Jan Ryba. Prague classical concerts in St. Salvator Church gained a great reputation for their artistic qualities. Renowned musicians in the field of early music and beautiful premises of the early baroque church make these organ concerts a pleasant event. St. Salvator (Holy Saviour) Church is established as the first academic parish in the Czech Republic and as a categorial parish. It offers a platform for ecumenical and interreligious dialogue and is open for spiritual seekers and non-active Christians.

Even the city street-cleaning machines whirring through Wrigleyville are decked out like Cubs fans, painted white and Cubby blue. Yup, it's all Cubs all the time in the ballpark neighborhood, where stores and street vendors sell a scary huge selection of Cubs clothes and kitsch.
If you're yearning for a Cubs-themed bathroom, the search stops at recently expanded Wrigleyville Sports, 959 W. Addison St.: towel ($14.95), a 7-piece set including shower curtain, trash can and toothbrush holder ($44.95) and a bath rug, toilet seat cover and toilet mat trio ($45.95).
Big retailers such as Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Marshalls sell a wide array of Cubs (and White Sox) gear. Who doesn't need fuzzy Cubs dice to hang from a rearview mirror ($4.99 at Walgreens)?
Near the park, arrive early and comparison shop. Adjustable Cubs caps range from the $5 I paid a street vendor to $15 or $20 at stores and outdoor stands. I found a basic Cubs T-shirt for $10 at Chicago Sports & Novelty, 1153 W. Addison St., while other spots a block or two closer to the ballpark charged twice that.
You'll pay a premium for many of the items at the three gift shops inside Wrigley Field, but it doesn't get more authentic than this. Available for the first time this year at the ballpark are replica Cubs jerseys that can be personalized with sewn lettering — just like the players'— with any name or phrase. You can pick it up before you leave the park ($149.95).
And if you'd like to be a fan without a big Cubs logo on your chest, department stores are filled with double-duty items in nautical blue like those below.

text: KPLU-FM: Kristian Foden-Vencil What Motivated Oregon Voters To Raise Taxes? By KPLU-FM: Kristian Foden-Vencil • Oct 3, 2011 The Obama administration is floating the idea of increasing taxes on families earning more than $250,000 a year. Last year, the state of Oregon did something similar. It didn't generate quite as much money as expected — but it did generate plenty of resentment. 'A Pretty Historic Win'

The other morning I went out to walk the dog. It was still dark, but clear and cold. Overhead thousands of stars glittered in the darkness, shining out the glory of God's creation.
And then I noticed something amazing, the ground around me was covered with frost and somehow a little light was catching in that frost just right. It looked as if I was walking on a shimmering bed of diamonds flashing in the grass. All around me, overhead and even underfoot, were glistening points of light shining out in the darkness.

So next thing you know you have 4 ugly looking bars and you know it's time to take an action: You decide Cookies! Or at least I decided that anyway...
Because I wanted them puffy I used this recipe as a base, since I liked it so much.
- 220 gr (8 oz) butter room temperature but not very soft
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 360 gr (13 oz) stong/bread flour
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 cereal bars cut into chunks
Beat butter and both sugars just until they come together. Don't over-beat. Add the eggs and beat just until incorporated. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder . When thoroughly mixed, add to batter and stir just until blended. Stir in the cereal bar chunks and any other flavouring you fancy*. Scoop into a cookie sheet or drop by rounded tablespoons. The dough should be neither sticky nor dry. Bake on pre-heated oven at 180ºC (350ºF) for about 12 minutes or until done. Cool on sheet for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
* As I like variety I divided the dough into 4 and added a little different touch to each one:
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp grounded cardamom
- 1 orange (rind) + 3 tbs raisins
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 2 tbs dark chocolate chunks
And here's a tip: whenever you're baking chocolate cookies and have similar non chocolate cookies to bake as well, on the sheet you have the chocolate ones, place a "white" one so you can check on doneness by its color.

There's been time now to have some sense of the ramifications. Have foreign nationals been able to get work permits and long stay visas within the 90 day tourist stay? I checked with 2 different visa services in Prague, and they both said it is impossible to get the necessary paperwork completed in the 90 days including applying for a trade license to do freelance work. Can anyone in Prague shed light on the current situation from their experience as a language school, a newly certified teacher, or an employer? thanks!

I can say that it's been true in the past that paperwork hasn't been completed within 90 days. Traditionally, so long as it's been properly filed and one is in the system, it's extremely rare to have any problems working/living while waiting for completion. I do not know if that's still the case!!

Due to our geographical location, we are forced to hire via Internet(despite other posts to the contrary, there is not a large pool of native speakers on the ground in the part of the Czech Republic I live in, so we hire from abroad.) Most of our applicants are from North America, which means we will shortly be going through this process. Thus far it doesn't seem like much has changed from two years ago--we had to call the embassy in Vienna to find this out as the relevant office in our area simply did not know. One thing of note that is significant is that apparently non-EUers are no longer allowed to obtain business licenses(zivnostensky lists) until they've lived here for 2 years. Another thing that has changed is, whereas before a business was obliged to advertise the position for six weeks in advance at the employment, now the business that wishes to hire a non-European has to go to the office in question and plead their case, which can be rejected or approved at the whim of the office. Although that doesn't directly affect teachers, rather schools, it's all the information I have at the moment. As we muddle through the new process, I will post here on any changes from 2009-10(which is the last time we had to hire from abroad.)

It's possible to apply for a short term visa for 3 months. BUT. If the short-term visa runs out before the long term visa is in effect--it happens sometimes--then the worker obviously is not allowed to work. There are problems. First of all the short term visa MUST be applied for OUTSIDE of Schengen. the Long term visa can be applied for in Schengen, apparently. But in both cases the worker has to pick up the visa personally(also fairly obvious.) The solution(for us) is to apply for a short term visa that begins in October and ends in December in the worker's home counttry and then apply for a long-term visa here in Europe in September that starts in January, i.e., 4 months. But it's an annoying development to be sure.

It can take up to four months, though. And it definitely does sometimes(and there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to the waiting times in these cases.) It's something to be aware of. I'm not sure what happens if your visa-free time runs out before your visa is processed. I have no doubt that it does happen from time to time though. The work permit too can take longer and the process has changed: it's now necessary for schools to go to the relevant office and advocate for the hiring of the non-EU citizen. WE are actually still waiting for the local office(in Zlin) to give us the go-ahead to go there and plead our case. Obviously a school will have done that if someone is arriving here and applying for visa here--otherwise, no visa. But that's the school's responsibility. But we called very recently and it is possible to get a short-term visa--it's just that it must be applied for in your home country. You can apply for the long-term visa here if you're from the countries listed above. Back to top KatemarieJoined: 19 Apr 2007Posts: 2 Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 8:43 am Post subject: When I applied for my working visa over two years ago, I did not apply for a short term visa, and I applied for the long term visa on my 89th day of being in the Schengen. But, once I applied, I received a stamp in my passport, stating that my visa was in process, and I think this was enough to keep me legal here. Of course, I didn't do a lot of traveling in the time that my visa was being processed, but I was still able to be here, and make my way back to Bratislava to pick up the visa about two months later. I think the most important thing is to apply for the visa before your 90 days are up in the Schengen. If you apply after this time, you have a much greater chance of being rejected. And regarding the work permit, you can apply for the visa with the receipt of the permit, so you don't have to wait an extra month or so for the permit to be processed.

However, I am not saying that you are wrong and the same doesn't apply now. I really don't know and it will be some time before I find out.

Red Sox show Will power, roll over JaysBy LARRY MILLSON
The Sports Xchange
April 07. 2013 7:22PM
TORONTO - Even the out Will Middlebrooks made was loud, landing in the glove of left-fielder Melky Cabrera at the warning track.
"I was blowing on it running down the line but it didn't have enough steam," the Boston Red Sox third baseman said.
Before that eighth-inning at-bat in the Red Sox 13-0 victory Sunday over the Toronto Blue Jays, Middlebrooks had three of Boston's six home runs and a double to drive in four runs in front of 41,168 at Rogers Centre.
It was the first three-homer game of his career and gave him four for the season. He is the first Red Sox player to hit three homers in a game since Dustin Pedroia did it against the Rockies on June 24, 2010.
Two of his homers Sunday were against Toronto knuckleball pitcher R.A. Dickey.
"I just tried to stay patient," Middlebrooks said. "I got in a couple of counts where I thought he'd throw me fastballs and he did. They were good pitches and I didn't miss them."
He said both homers against Dickey came on fastballs and the double came on a knuckleball. Right-handed reliever David Bush, who came on in the fifth inning to replace Dickey, allowed the other four Red Sox homers.
Mike Napoli also drove in four runs with a double and a home run.
Daniel Nova and Jacoby Ellsbury hit the other homers for the Red Sox (4-2) in the rubber match of the three-game series that ended a disappointing season-opening homestand for the Blue Jays (2-4).
"I faced R.A. in spring training, so I kind of had an idea of what his movement was and his velocity, because he throws a lot harder than a lot of guys," Middlebrooks said. "I know certain counts he likes to go to fastballs when he's not locating his knuckleball well. He tries to get ahead with the fastball and that helped, knowing that."
Left-hander Jon Lester (2-0) held the Blue Jays to five hits while striking out six in seven innings.
"A lot of quality strikes," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "He delivered the ball downhill. He carried his stuff through the full seven innings."
The hitters gave Lester more support than he needed against Dickey (0-2), rapping out 10 hits and scoring eight runs (seven earned) against him in 4 2/3 innings. The 2012 National League Cy Young Award winner with the New York Mets allowed five runs before he retired a batter.
"Throughout the course of the season you're going to have a clunker or two," Dickey said. "You just got to try forget as soon as you can. And obviously today was one of those days for me."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said that he was not concerned about Dickey. "It's two games in," he said. "He's going to have a great year for us. They just hit him hard, I don't know any other way to describe it."
The first five Red Sox batters of the game scored. Ellsbury and Napoli doubled, Shane Victorino and Dustin Pedroia singled and Middlebrooks hit a two-run homer. The first two outs in the first were on fly balls to the warning track.
The Red Sox scored an unearned run in the third. Middlebrooks doubled with one out, took third on Henry Blanco's passed ball and scored on Nava's sacrifice fly.
Middlebrooks hit his second homer of the game on a 3-2 count to lead off the fifth.
"Good Lord, he had about 2,000 feet of homers, it seemed like," Lester said. "He obviously feels pretty good at the plate. It's fun to watch."
"He swung the bat exceptionally well, as was the case with a number of guys up and down the lineup," Farrell said. "I thought we had a very good approach against Dickey. We laid off some tough knuckleballs down in the bottom of the zone."
NOTES: The Red Sox open their home slate today at 2 p.m. against the Baltimore Orioles. ... Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista (twisted right ankle) did not play for the third game in a row. He is expected to play Tuesday in Detroit after today's off-day in the schedule. ... Red Sox DH David Ortiz (right Achilles) is scheduled to start at extended spring training today and in about three days begin a minor-league rehabilitation assignment. ... Boston shortstop Jose Iglesias was back in the lineup Sunday after sitting out Saturday with a bruised arm after being hit by a pitch in Friday's game. ... A fan ran on the field and slid into second base in the top of the eighth. He was caught by security as he tried to climb the center-field wall.

Turkey Jim's Bridge #42May 23. 2013 2:57PM
Old Stephans Road
Campton, NH
The original covered bridge on this site was built in 1874. The bridge's name originates from farmer, Jim Cummings, whose property it served. Cummings property was popularly known as Turkey Jim's Turkey Farm. The bridge was replaced in 1958 by Milton Graton. It was discovered then that due to the deteriorated condition of the structure it could not be repaired but would have to be replaced. In 1964, the bridge washed downstream, was retrieved, and set back on its abutments. It is no longer open to vehicular traffic but is used as a pedestrian crossing and snowmobile crossing in the winter.
Year of Construction: - 1958
Original Cost: - $3,700
Over the West Branch Brook in Campton on Old Stephans Road. The bridge can be reached by driving into the campground just east of U.S. Route 3 and north of N.H. Route 49.
Queenpost style. The bridge is 60'6" long with a clear span of 52'3". It has an overall width of 14'9" with a roadway width of 12'0", and a maximum vertical clearance of 9'11". The bridge is closed to vehicular traffic.

Disk quota
After starting administrating the network on a little school, I did learn quite a lot about Linux. Here's some of it.
Installing Quota-tools
This is a little HOWTO to setup Userquota on Arch Linux. First of all you need a full functional Arch Linux machine. Afterwards we need to get the package quota-tools.
$ pacman -Sy quota-tools
Now we got the things we need. and are ready for the configuration. First we need to edit /etc/fstab - thats where we decide wich mounts we need to make a quota on. Let's say we have a special harddrive thats mounted in /home - the line in /etc/fstab looks like this:
/dev/hdb1 /home ext3 defaults 1 1
we need to edit it to this
/dev/hdb1 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1 <pre> That's it here, so the next part is to start quota and make it index the files. <pre> $ mount -v -o remount /home <-- to remount home $ quotacheck -a -m <-- to make an index over the files $ quotaon -uv /home <-- start quota
The last line may answer with this error: The kernel does not support quota - you need to recompile it
I did a reboot and everything worked afterwards. (You can change /home to -a in the last line, then it starts on all devices )
quotaon must be run everytime the machine starts, so its a good idea to make a startscript or put it into rc.local
The user quotes
Now we shall setup how much the users quantum of space will be. That's where we use this command:
$ edquota -u quotauser Disk quotas for user quotauser (uid 500): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/hda2 695879 0 0 6741 0 0
Here is the idea to make a testuser, then afterwards copy the files to all the users. The limits is here defined in kbytes - so that 10000 = 10MB. If the qoutas is not setup, the default is there's no limits. We can also see that the user quotauser in this moment uses 695879 fileblocks (679MB) and 6741 files with no limits on. Now edit the number so it looks like this:
Disk quotas for user quotauser (uid 500): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/hda2 695879 10000 15000 6741 0 0
This means that the user ALWAYS can use 10MB of space, and can be graced for a period for 5 more. If you want to set the grace time, you can do it with:
$ edquota -t Grace period before enforcing soft limits for users: Time units may be: days, hours, minutes, or seconds Filesystem Block grace period Inode grace period /dev/hda2 7 days 7days
The trick about using a testuser, is that you really easy can copy the quota to all users on your system. Done by:
$ edquota -p quotauser `awk -F: '$3 > 499 {print $1} /etc/passwd`
Here makes the same settings on all users with uid on 500 and above..
Other interesting commands
There are sevarel interesting commands, but here are some of them:
* repquota -a <-- shows the status on diskusage * warnquota <-- can be used to warn the users about their quota (warnquota sends mail to the users, is the files /etc/quotatab & /etc/warnquota.conf. These are used to make the messages more readable)
at last the quotastats is used to give info about the quota system:
$ quotastats Number of dquot lookups: 101289 Number of dquot drops: 101271 Number of still active inodes with quota : 18 Number of dquot reads: 93 Number of dquot writes: 2077 Number of quotafile syncs: 134518740 Number of dquot cache hits: 7391 Number of allocated dquots: 90 Number of free dquots: 2036 Number of in use dquot entries (user/group): -1946

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's top leader said Sunday he has not prohibited talks with the U.S. but urged caution with any possible dialogue, describing the American government as untrustworthy.
The U.S. and Iran are in deep disagreement over Tehran's nuclear program. The U.S. and the West have imposed punishing economic sanctions to press Iran to stop enrichment of uranium, fearing that the process could lead to production of nuclear weapons. Iran denies that intention.
"I said earlier this year that I'm not optimistic about talks with the U.S.," said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, "although I didn't prohibit dialogue on specific issues such as Iraq in the past years." He told outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other top government officials in Tehran, "Americans are untrustworthy and illogical. They are not honest in their dealings."
Iran's president-elect, Hasan Rouhani, has pledged to follow a path of moderation and interaction with the outside world. Khamenei said Iran must determine the goals of its adversaries. Otherwise it will suffer, he said.
"We've always believed and continue to believe in interaction with the world but the important point . is to understand the other party and determine its goals and tactics, because we will be tripped up if we don't understand them correctly," Khamenei said in comments posted on his website late Sunday.
"The art in interaction with the world is to continue your path without the other party being able to stop you. If interaction with the world causes retreat from the path, it is a loss," he said.
Rouhani, who won a landslide victory in the June 14 presidential election, will be sworn in Aug. 4. Iran has sent invitations to world leaders to attend his inauguration.
Rouhani's election has revived hopes for easing of tensions with the West as well as possible direct talks with the U.S.

The Houston Dynamo fell to D.C. United, 3-2, Saturday night at RFK Stadium. Dynamo striker Will Bruin and United striker Maicon Santos traded braces but Dwayne De Rosario's strike proved to be the difference as the Dynamo fell for the second time in 2012 (2-2-2).
Santos put the home club ahead in the 11th minute after he one-timed a cross from the right corner from strike partner Chris Pontius.
Bruin respondedin Houston in the 50th minute as he received a cross from defender Jermaine Taylor and volleyed the equalizer into the side of the net. The second-year striker has scored four goals in his last three games and is one goal shy of equaling his 2011 total from his rookie season.
Houston fell behind again when De Rosario curled in a cross that skipped in the middle of the penalty area and bounced into the net off the inside post.
Bruin evened the score five minutes later after Corey Ashe fed Bruin five yards outside of the D.C. penalty area. Bruin took a touch and ripped a shot that D.C. goalkeeper Joe Willis dove in front of, but it slipped under his grasp for the tying goal.
Santos tallied the winning goal in the 70th minute after he headed home a cross from left back Daniel Woolard.
Tally Hall made four saves on the night, including a point-blank stop on De Rosario in the 82nd minute. De Rosario made a long run from inside his own half and ended up with a great opportunity from the center of the penalty area, but Hall saved his low shot.
Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis made a return to the field after missing two games with a left calf strain and played the final 28 minutes.
Corey Ashe made his 175th appearance for the Dynamo in all competitions, becoming the third Houston player to reach 175.
Brian Ching made his 150th start for Houston in all competitions to become the fourth Dynamo player to start 150 matches.
Geoff Cameron has played the full time in 36 consecutive MLS matches (playoffs included) since he last missed a game on May 4, 2011. The defender has played 3,216 consecutive MLS minutes.
The Dynamo will play the final game of their franchise-record seven-game road trip on Wednesday, May 9 when they meet the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena. The match will begin at 6 p.m. CT and can be seen Fox Sports Houston Plus. The match can be heard on SportsTalk 790 AM and La Ranchera 850 AM.
Postgame Quotes
Houston Dynamo Head Coach Dominic Kinnear
Overall thoughts on the match:
"Disappointed, we fought back to get back into the game twice. We aren't helping ourselves by giving up some poor goals, but on the other side we are scoring goals on the road, which is a good thing. [D.C. United] just scored one more goal than us."
Houston Dynamo Midfielder Adam Moffat
Overall thoughts on the match:
"Obviously disappointed with the final score. We brought us back into the game twice but then we got a little bit careless in possession and [D.C. United] was going for it offensively."
On the second half:
"We got our goal pretty quickly and we didn't let them hold on to that lead for long. But we got our goal and then we gave up a goal pretty quickly, so that's something we obviously want to change. We battled – we battled hard – but we leave disappointed with the result."

Wouldn't it be a cruel joke on the jihadists if they actually did get 72 "virgins" but all the entities in heaven were merely the spirit of the person and not the actual person, complete with his body?
You clearly have very strong management skills. I have no doubt that in the afterlife, you will be assigned a role ensuring increased efficiency in terms of processing entrants through the celestial gate. There are a lot more people than there used to be. And a lot more deaths daily. So it is clearly time for an overhaul of the system. I'm pretty sure that once it is implemented, all existing copies of the scriptures will automatically update to reflect the new reality. I think it is pretty ambitious of you to take into account all of the afterlives associated with monotheistic religions. The process for assigning appropriate afterlives for those who believe in reincarnation will be even more challenging.I've linked this here before, but it is about my neighborhood, and I can't link it enough. And I suspect you might appreciate it. http://www.theonion.com/articles/various-deities-still-sorting-through-victims-of-t,2248/
The gates of the first series are well done, well built. An avenue of statues of saints leads up to them. The gate pillars are surmounted by marble angels. The entering grounds are very well kept, laid out like Bush Gardens in Pasadena, so often seen in the movies. Aside from the implant boxes which lie across from each other on the walk there are other noises and sounds as though the saints are defending and berating. These are unimportant to the incident.The second series, probably in the same place, shows what a trillion years of overt acts does (or is an additional trickery to collapse one's time). The place is shabby. The vegatation is gone. The pillars are scruffy. The saints have vanished. So have the Angels. A sign on one (the left as you "enter") says "This is Heaven". The right has a sign "Hell" with an arrow and inside the grounds one can see the excavations like archaeological diggings with raw terraces, that lead to "Hell". Plain wire fencing encloses the place. There is a sentry box beside and outside the right pillar. The road "leading up" to the gates is deeply eroded. An effigy of Joseph, complete with desert clothing, is seen approaching the gates (but not moving) leading a donkey which "carries" the original Madonna and child from "Bethlehem". The implanting boxes lie on either side of this "entering" path at path level.

That certainly helps St. Peter, as he now only has to process about 50,000 people per day instead of 150,000. Still, he has less than 2 seconds per person to correctly identify you and decide if you meet the criteria for entry.
Guys, guys - we're focussing too much on the QUEUES. With the Disney analogy, you don't go to Disneyland to queue, you go for the rides and the shows!Different sources give different figures, but a reasonable average seems to be around 100,000,000,000. I'm going to err well on the side of caution, and say that just a quarter of those get into heaven.But that still means that heaven currently holds some 4 times the entire current population of the earth - and rising rapidly. So I'm less concerned with the line to get in, and more concerned with how long it takes to get served as the deli.And what are the transportation links like? Imagine living where you live now - but with 4 times the population. What's travelling going to be like? I hope there are some good transport links, because its going to take forever to get anywhere under your own steam. Wings I guess will make it easier, and it may be that - living forever - taking five days flying to pop to see a friend won't be a "waste" of eternity. But I hope there are a lot of books available, I reckon I'd get WELL bored with all the boring "a to b" stuff.Maybe we all teleport whenever we want to? Hope there's good admin there too - with 25 billion people popping in and out all the time there must be a high chance of two people popping in together. Explosion? Conjoinedness? I need to know! And also, are there exclusions as to where you can go? I sincerely doubt that I will like ALL the 25 billion people in heaven.....how can I stop them from teleporting into my front room while I'm watching TV? At least with no teleporting I can pretend to be out.So yeah - queues are the least of the issues. It transportation, privacy, and boredom that will be the REAL issues in heaven.

The Importance of Studying Communication
Matt Dye '13 knows all about the need to communicate well both in and out of the classroom.
"My speech and debate class taught me skills that I use in my current job," Matt said. "People want to hire individuals who can quickly outline what they want to say, articulate well, influence others and think on their feet. If you learn how to speak well, people will listen."
The Bachelor of Science in Communication prepares students for opportunities in a variety of corporate, non-profit and public communication roles.
The communication major allows students to choose an emphasis in Digital Journalism & Civic Engagement, Public Relations, Media Production or Media Communication. This exposure gives students training in a variety of media outlets such as writing for the student newspaper, broadcasting on the online radio station or producing the yearbook.
Students prepare for careers in both faith-based and secular communication fields by undertaking leadership roles like managing the newspaper, yearbook or Eaglebreak, leading the debate team and producing radio programs.
The communication degree prepares students for work in media industries, businesses, non-profit organizations and ministries requiring excellent written, interpersonal, organizational, oral and media production skills.
What stands out to Matt about JBU's communication major? "I love how versatile each of the classes are," he said. "Learning to use different forms of media gives you an advantage."
Communication Emphases
Students receive their Bachelors of Science degree in Communications with an emphasis in one of these four areas:

By Katy Migiro
AMAHLUBI, South Africa, Dec 4 (TrustLaw) - Pregnant and bereaved, Thandiwe Zondi considered killing herself and her five daughters when she was evicted from her marital home.
Under customary Zulu law, only males can inherit land. But Zondi had borne no sons when her husband, a chief, died of natural causes, so his successor moved into her house and turfed the family out.
She appealed to a traditional court of tribal leaders - but they sided with the new chief.
Traditional courts are the most accessible form of justice for poor, rural South Africans, and their power is growing, setting back the clock on women's rights in one of Africa's most progressive countries.
Their increasing influence is largely thanks to President Jacob Zuma, a proud Zulu who has four wives and a fondness for dancing dressed in a leopard skin cloak and a kilt of animal tails with a cow-hide shield and spear.
As Zuma fights for re-election as head of the African National Congress (ANC) in December and as president in 2014, he plans to make traditional courts the only option for millions of South Africans by denying them access to civil courts.
Zondi's eviction was not based on any statute, and it flew in the face of South Africa's post-apartheid constitution, which guarantees gender equality and outlaws "unfair discrimination". But that didn't make it any less real.
"They asked me who is going to look after me," she recalled, sitting in her father's cluttered mud home, overlooking a valley in KwaZulu Natal, Zuma's home province.
"They needed a man. I said there's no one. That's when they started getting angry and violent. It was very painful. I had all these thoughts of killing myself and my children."
Today, 18 family members spanning three generations squeeze into her father's three-bedroom home. Every inch is filled with bulging suitcases, cardboard boxes and furniture shrouded in sheets. Photographs of family members hang by her daughter's sporting trophies and pictures of Jesus.
Presided over by tribal elders steeped in customary law, traditional courts in the densely populated apartheid-era "homelands" rule on everything from land rights and domestic violence to trespassing by livestock.
The Traditional Courts Bill, which had its latest round of public hearings in September, would subject the 18 million South Africans who live in the homelands - where the tribal chiefs still exercise power - to this separate justice system.
Speaking to traditional leaders about the bill last month, Zuma lambasted South Africans opposing it for trying to be "too clever" and aping "the white man's way".
Critics say the bill will almost certainly be kicked out as unconstitutional, but they say the fact it is before parliament at all, and that at least one other bill boosting the power of traditional chiefs are planned, harks back to apartheid.
"It's going to take us back to prior to democracy when, as women, our rights were not recognized," said Priscilla Matsapola, a lawyer with People Against Women Abuse, a rights group that provides legal advice and other services to victims of abuse.
The white minority government that ruled the country before the first democratic elections in 1994 created the homelands as a dumping ground for black Africans in pursuit of its goal of a racially segregated South Africa.
Many of the black majority were evicted from their homes and squeezed onto 13 percent of the land where they were ruled by tribal chiefs co-opted into the white segregationists' scheme. Others lived in crowded townships round the cities.
"It's ironic that the democratic government should be moving towards realizing the goals of the apartheid government," said Sindiso Mnisi Weeks, a senior researcher at the University of Cape Town.
She and others argue that the government is distorting customary law by giving chiefs so much power and creating an illegitimate, unelected fourth layer of government.
"People are saying what's at issue here is the transition to democracy and you are selling us out on that," said Aninka Claassens, an expert on land rights at Cape Town University.
Women, who make up 59 percent of rural residents, would be worst affected by the bill as traditional leaders and cultures tend to be patriarchal, critics say.
There are few working age men living in the simple mud homes that pepper the green and brown hills of KwaZulu Natal. Most migrate to the cities and mines. Half of rural households are run by women, usually grandmothers or single mothers who rely on pensions and child grants to get by.
In South Africa's traditional courts, women usually have to be represented by a male relative or neighbor.
Widows involved in disputes over their late husband's property, like Zondi, are particularly vulnerable. They are expected to go into mourning for at least six months, without appearing in public, because they are considered impure.
"When decisions are being made about their lives and the future of their children... they are not there," said Nomboniso Gasa, who writes on gender issues.
Instead, they are represented by their husband's relatives, often the very same people who are trying to evict them.
Since the introduction of South Africa's 1996 constitution, customary law has been evolving to reflect the new democratic values, such as allowing single mothers to be allocated land.
Critics regard the bill as a backlash by traditional leaders against these changes. Elders counter that the bill would bring the work of traditional leaders into line with the constitution.
"It's not going to violate women ... That is just an exaggeration," said Wilson Makgalancheche, head of the National House of Traditional Leaders, set up by the post-apartheid government to bring traditional leaders into discussions about the new democracy.
"Culture is definitely evolving. In as much as we want to cling to our culture and we want to hand over the culture from one generation to another, we need to be cognizant of the developments within the areas where we live."
The chiefs are lobbying for ANC support in exchange for their ability to deliver rural votes.
"The bill on the table now is about the kinds of stresses and pressures on the ANC to build as wide a support base as possible," said Nic Borain, a political analyst.
"They have made very direct appeals to the traditional leadership, which is very patriarchal, very conservative."
Zuma ousted Thabo Mbeki as ANC president in 2007 with the backing of traditional leaders whose power had been waning, said William Gumede, a professor at Witwatersrand University.
"Now they have credibility because they are aligned to the president... Now they are pretty powerful," he said.
Several ANC parliamentarians are chiefs, such as Phathekile Holomisa, who heads the Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa, a lobby group which wants the clause protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination removed from the constitution.
Gasa cites Zuma's polygamous lifestyle, rape trial - in which he was found not guilty - and his labeling of unmarried women as "a problem" as signs of a new cultural tone.
Gumede said: "He has set a new example, I think, of social conservatism and he has made it kosher again."

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — A shootout between rioting prisoners and security forces at a prison in Sri Lanka's capital killed at least 16 inmates, while police said Saturday that they arrested five prisoners who had managed to escape.
Another 42 people were wounded in the shootout Friday between inmates and army and police commandos that broke out after the rioting prisoners briefly took control of at least part of the facility in Colombo.
The prison was under control of security forces on Saturday, a senior prison official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Dr. Anil Jasinghe, director of the Colombo National Hospital, said 16 inmates had died in the clash and 23 others were injured and receiving treatment at the hospital.
Thirteen police officers, four soldiers, a prison guard and a passer-by also were being treated at the hospital for injuries, the doctor said.
Police spokesman Prishantha Jayakody said five prisoners who escaped from the prison had been arrested.
He said the fighting began when police commandos went to Welikada prison to conduct a search and were attacked by inmates hurling stones. He declined to provide more information. Officials often conduct raids for narcotics and communication devices.
An Associated Press photographer saw prisoners waving rifles atop the prison's roof Friday night.
Other prisoners piled into a three-wheeled vehicle and began driving toward a main city road before security forces outside the prison opened fire. The vehicle stopped, and three unmoving bodies could be seen.
Dozens of security officers then entered the prison, and volleys of gunfire rang out. Prisoners could be heard screaming, "Stop shooting!"
Army troops later were called in to help control the situation.
Prison chief P.W. Kodippili said inmates had broken into the prison's two armories and taken weapons stored there. The inmates opened fire at police commandos, who shot back, Kodippili told a local television channel Friday night.
Associated Press photographer Gemunu Amarasinghe contributed to this report.

Studio C, a locally owned furniture and home accessories store, will open this spring in the former Brandt's Maisonette location on Government Street.
Greg Vernice said he and co-owner Damien Boisvert will open in the 1,200-square-foot former restaurant at Steele Boulevard by March or April.
Vernice describes the store as "a design studio meets a general store" with "a relaxed, contemporary, laid-back aesthetic."
Studio C will sell furniture, lighting, accessories, artwork, books and other items, bringing another locally owned shop to Government.
"I kinda grew up in this neighborhood and I really believe in it and support it," Vernice explained.
"And it's a 3-minute walk to work," he added.
Recent years have seen the arrival of Denicola's, The Atomic Pop Shop and Time Warp joining Government Street stalwarts, including Honeymoon Bungalow, Aladdin's Lamp Antiques, Victoria's Toy Station and Caffery Gallery.
Vernice said he sees Government Street developing little clusters of shops that complement one another.
Vernice and Boisvert had a home furnishings store and did design work in New York, then spent some time in Costa Rica before coming back to Baton Rouge about a year ago.
They have had items available in a kiosk at The Foyer on Acadian Thruway and Perkins Road since February, though Studio C will be their first dedicated storefront, Vernice said.
Mark Hebert, who marketed the property for Kurz & Hebert Commercial Real Estate, said the building's days as a restaurant were behind it because an agreement that provided the building with a few extra parking spaces ended years ago.
Retail, he said, is the property's "highest and best use."

GAO, Mali (AP) — French soldiers on Wednesday recovered an enormous stash of explosives that authorities believe radical Islamic fighters were using to make bombs for attacks on northern Mali's largest city, a Malian military spokesman said.
Meanwhile, officials in the capital said the army captain behind a coup last year that paved the way for radical Islamic militants to take over the north will be tasked with reforming the military.
France has said it intends to eventually hand over its mission to oust the Islamists to the Malian military and other African soldiers. The move is likely to heighten international concerns about whether Mali's army is up to the task.
Malian military spokesman Daouda Diarra said that the French military removed some 800 kilograms (1,700 pounds) of explosive materials from a house in Gao. The find raised further fears that jihadists could be preparing to stage devastating attacks on civilian centers.
The explosives had been discovered several days earlier, and the team had returned to the site in the morning, Diarra said.
French military officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
Radical Islamic fighters withdrew from Gao on Jan. 26 after imposing their harsh interpretation of Shariah law in the most populous city in northern Mali for nearly 10 months.
Since their retreat, the Islamic extremists have launched two suicide bombings in the last week and invaded the city for a five-hour-long gun battle Sunday in the center of the city. Sunday's brazen assault marked the first time the jihadists had penetrated the city of mud-walled buildings since they fled.
Last week soldiers combing abandoned jihadist hideouts also found a stash of NITRAM 5 explosives hidden inside rice bags that were left in a communal trash area. The explosives are manufactured for use in mining, but can cause considerable damage when used as bombs.
Neither of the suicide bomb attacks has killed other people, but the pattern of attempts has raised alarm.
One of the suicide bombers had stayed in a Gao house where Islamic extremists lived when they controlled the city. The guard there said it had been visited by the one-eyed Algerian terror leader Moktar Belmoktar, who was the architect of last month's attack on a BP plant in Algeria in which at least 37 people were killed.
Soldiers from Niger and Mali have been patrolling downtown Gao on foot in recent days in an effort to secure the city. On Wednesday, a new checkpoint with about two dozen Malian soldiers standing guard also was set up near the waterfront to control traffic.
Mali was plunged into turmoil after the coup in March 2012 created a security vacuum that allowed secular rebel Tuaregs, who have long felt marginalized by Mali's government, to take half the north as a new homeland. In the following months, the rebels were kicked out by the Islamists who imposed strict Shariah law in the north, including amputations for theft.
The military was thrown into disarray by the coup led by Capt. Amadou Haya Sanogo. On Wednesday, officials said the man who helped overthrow the democratically elected president now would lead a committee working to reform the military.
"It's a question of giving a role to Captain Sanogo so that the Malian military can be reformed to correct the failures," said Capt. Mariam Sagara, the spokeswoman for the committee.
France launched a military operation Jan. 11 against the Islamic extremists after they started to move south into government-controlled areas and captured key towns.
Ahmed reported from Timbuktu, Mali.

Swedes succumb to Henry's fire
Cozad downs Gothenburg 2-0.
Normally when a team has just one hit while striking out 13 times in a contest that has 21 outs a coach might not have much positive to say about the game.
However, Swede coach Roger Neujahr liked what he saw in much of a 2-0 loss to Cozad Thursday while admitting that the players need to adjust better the next time they face Haymaker pitcher Carly Henry."It was a good game," he said. "We had a little error here and a little error there. That's going to happen in high school.
"We needed to put the pressure on them like that."
He had nothing but praise for Henry who he called one of the two best pitchers in the state among Class C schools.
"I've been around fast-pitch softball for many years," the Swede coach said. "That's the most dominating pitching I have been against throughout (that time)."
Henry's speed—she had to be throwing 60 mph, Neujahr said—kept the Swedes off balance all night. Few players could get their bats around quick enough to place hit balls into fair territory.
"We reminded the kids we aren't going to swing any harder, we're going to prepare sooner," the coach said. "We didn't do a good job of that. Honestly, I think we didn't realize she was that fast. We hit some pretty good shots."
They were just foul.
Henry wasn't the only good pitcher on the mound, though. If Henry was fire, then Gothenburg's Bre Messersmith was ice. Her off-speed pitches froze Cozad batters, including Henry, as they didn't know what to expect.
Messersmith scattered four hits and fanned five Haymakers while walking just one.
The Swede pitcher faced the minimum of batters in four of the first five innings. Cozad struck for two runs in the sixth.
Two singles and a double did the damage for the Haymakers with leadoff batter Kylee Griffis and cleanup hitter Lindsey Roger both scoring after hitting singles.
Gothenburg's best scoring chance came in the fifth inning when leadoff hitter Vanessa Linegar blasted a double to the right-center fence. She moved to third on a sacrifice but was stranded.
Linegar's hit was the lone safety for Gothenburg.
Reserves roll to 11-0 win
A seven-run first inning powered the Gothenburg reserves to an 11-0 victory over Cozad.
The Swede JVs continued to roll with a pair of runs in both the second and third innings.
Leah Schwanz had a two singles to lead the Swedes. Brittyn Munster, Payton Prall and Amanda Barkmeier each hit a double.
Both Jordyn Haake and Barkmeier saw action on the mound. Haake gave up a pair of hits while Barkmeier blanked Cozad with four strikeouts and one walk.
