Missing Husband: David and Jason Spend Their Sixth Anniversary Apart, Separated by 6,000 Miles and DOMA

On May 12, 2007, I sat in a restaurant in West Hollywood swearing off men forever after a string of bad relationships. That was until my future husband walked in.
My friend James noticed my distraction, took the lonely stranger's plate and sat him at our table, directly opposite me. For 2 hours we ate, drank and laughed. In one meal, I had gone from having lost all interest in dating to hitting it off with a guy who I may as well have designed myself.
Jason was visiting Los Angeles at the end of a 6-week trip across North America. I spent 3 days showing him the city, before he was due to flew out to New Zealand to continue his travels. Our whirlwind few days were up and it was time for our first airport goodbye. We both felt a weird difficulty that you just don't get after hanging out with a stranger for 3 days. We knew it was something special.
For the rest of Jason's travels, for the rest of that year, and for the 6 years since, we have spoken every day. As I arrive at my office in LA Jason gets home from work in the UK. We get online and chat right through the day until he has to go to sleep. Sadly, this long distance communication is avoidable and our separation is down to the divisive and immoral Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
President Bill Clinton signed DOMA into law in September 1996. It denies millions of Americans over 1,100 rights, and has kept us and thousands of other same-sex, bi-national couples separated on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and countless other occasions that we should be sharing together. And that's all we're asking for – to be together.
DOMA means that legal gay marriages are not recognized federally and are not enough to bring foreign spouses of gay Americans to the US. Jason isn't welcome to the US as a Husband and has only ever been able to visit for a maximum 90 days as a tourist.
Jason has been warned for 2 years that he has visited the US too often using tourist visa waivers. It's currently recommended that he wait 6 months before returning, or he may be denied entry as a visitor.
What most people don't realize is that when Jason has landed, whether or not he is allowed out of LAX airport is at the discretion of the Customs and Border Protection officer. The past 2 years he has been taken aside to a small interview room, interrogated and had his luggage searched by officers suspecting he is lying about his reasons for visiting. They scoff at any explanation of the years of difficulties he's had obtaining a visa, replying "it's not that hard".
This is why the days leading up to his return are always filled with dread. In the run up to his visit, friends and family say, "…you must be so excited! I bet you can't wait to see him!" which is true. But behind those conversations, all I can think about is the terrifying hour (or 2, or 3) after his plane lands and whether or not he'll make it past customs and out of the airport.
Thankfully, DOMA and all of this stress could be history by the end of June. The Supreme Court heard arguments against the law on March 27. Our fate is now in the hands of 9 Justices who will decide whether or not to strike down DOMA. We should know on or around June 27. If the court does not strike it down then we have little hope of being able to start a life together in the United States and may be forced to join the many Americans living in exile with their partners across the world.
In a country that has proclaimed since 1776 that 'all men are created equal' I feel rejected. I have been put through so much pain, for so long, and I don't know how many more goodbyes I have in me.
Goodbyes at LAX airport are always the worst, but the silent drive home is a close second. An overwhelming, and avoidable sadness sets in, and knowing it's not going to go away for months fills my head with bitterness and anger. Fighting these emotions is a constant battle when Jason's not here. Imagine sharing the most incredible 3 months with your perfect companion, filling every spare hour with fun, only for that person to be ripped from your arms and flown over 5000 miles away from you for an indefinite amount of time.
It was a cruel coincidence that in March, what could be Jason's last 90-day tourist visa waiver expired on the day the Supreme Court heard arguments against the Defense of Marriage Act. If goodbyes weren't difficult enough, we had a constant news flow the whole day, reminding us of the pain we were about to endure. And are enduring today.
Before we were married this past September, neither Jason nor I thought we could get any closer. But as I sit here alone writing this, and as Jason sends me the latest version of our 'goodbye' video, I realize it put a fight in us. A fight fuelled by having a rooftop wedding in New York that did nothing to help our situation. It's through the difficult times that we like to remind ourselves that despite it's cruel intentions, DOMA has only made us even closer.
In the next few days we will find out if Jason's 3-year H-1B work visa has been approved or denied. We've now been separated, waiting for this outcome for over a month. Even if it were approved the visa term wouldn't begin until October, meaning that whether as a spouse, a tourist or with a work visa, Jason is unable to enter the US for 6 months and with a full time job I can only visit him for a 2 week vacation. We were in the exact same position last year and we just can't go through that again, and we won't. It's not getting easier. Only harder. But no country, no law will stop the two of us from loving each other. And that's what carries us through.
When we met in that restaurant in 2007 we had no idea that we would spend the rest of our lives together, and apart. We had no idea that there would ever be an issue with Jason moving here and us being together. How naïve were we to believe that two people could fall in love and live their life in peace? When Jason began making plans to move here, it became clear that it was not our decision. And that simply isn't fair.
It's time to defeat DOMA.
UPDATE: David and Jason learned days before their 6th year anniversary that Jason's H-1B work visa petition had been rejected. David and Jason once again spent their anniversary apart, with no way of knowing when they will see each other again.
It's time to repeal DOMA.

This story is almost identical even down to the date that my spouse and I met on May 11, 2007. David and Jason met on May 12th of the same year. The difference is that my spouse and I were able to spend over 5 years living together and we were married legally here in Iowa. But last November, Immigration detained him, and he was deported back to Mexico about 10 days ago after spending 165 days in jail. I feel broken, as does my spouse. We can communicate every other day, but it is difficult. You can't imagine what this is like unless you have been there. My heart goes out to David and Jason and others that are in this same boat…pray for DOMA to get overturned….thanks…May 13, 2013
I emphasize with you, and I'm lucky my partner and I are both American. At the same time, why not move to the UK? It's a wonderful country, and I'd move there if I could.May 13, 2013
Thank you for your interest Brian. It is an option and we would like to live in London one day but we shouldn't have to. We'd struggle to live in London happily knowing it was forced upon us by a cruel portion of Americans. To leave LA/California and all the reasons it's so special to us behind would be a sad moment in our fight for equality.May 16, 2013
Thanks for your response, Jason. Don't get me wrong: it is BRUTALLY unfair what you're going through, the awful realities of DOMA. I hate DOMA, and the more I read the stories on this website, the more upset I get. My only point is that, as viciously unfair as DOMA is, the fact that it is right now a reality means that your choices are limited. With how much you love each other, you could be together in the UK until the US wises up. I understand this is an incredibly personal decision and I'm sure you've thought through every angle. I just hate to see you apart from each other when you could be together. It's horrible that you have only one choice of country right now. Ugh. What a nightmare this stupid law creates for binational gay couples!May 21, 2013
Exactly.June 14, 2013

Absolutely disgusting! These guys and so many same sex couples like them have been together for longer than most opposite sex couples we know. It beggars belief! All these couples deserve to be happy. Time to say goodbye to DOMA! It has no place in this day and age! :(May 13, 2013
In the same boat, but in the UK. Want to come back ot US with my partner. If you are so depserate to be together, why don't you immigrate to the UK? You can do it legally…May 13, 2013
Very similar to my own story — I met my partner in London in September 2007 — he's from Spain. He was a student, with lots of available time to travel and visit me in the U.S., and I own my own business so I was able to visit him in Spain frequently — however in the past 2 years he has been in the U.S. only a total of 3-1/2 weeks. He has been interrogated in a hostile and humiliating manner and threatened with deportation. I know the fear of waiting outside the terminal simply wondering if he will get in — it can be hours and you have no contact, no idea whats going on. We dare not even get married as our lawyers advise he would never be allowed back into the U.S. Even though every stay has complied with the requirements of his tourist visa, he was point black told in March that he would not be allowed back in next time unless he got a 6 mos. travel visa — something he's not able to do because currently he's unemployed having been laid off from his job last October given the continuing economic crisis in Spain. We've no idea what to do next and pray for a decision in June that would it possible for him to move to the U.S. as my spouse. I am simply horrified at how I've been treated unequally as a citizen. The idea of equality under the law in this country is a cruel and heartless joke.May 13, 2013
I was born in California. My husband was born in Hong Kong. We met in 2002, while we were both working in northern California. After 2 years of living together, he had to go back to HK in 2006, due to visa issues (he was laid off). We have had a long-distance relationship since then. Last November, we both flew to Vancouver and got legally married. 3 days later we had to fly back to our respective countries, and, even though we chat every day/night, we actually have no idea when we will be able to see each other again, much less when we might be able to live together again. DOMA is un-American, and I am ashamed of my country that it ever became law.May 13, 2013

My US husband and I (a Canadian) move back and forth between borders where we both face regular stresses at the US border. Have to say that the US customs have, for the most part, been very good to us. Arriving by air is another matter.May 13, 2013
This is such a sad story to me. Not only is a couple being kept apart, but the U.S. is out a valuable citizen. Do we not want presumably educated, hardworking people who are already in stable relationships with "one of our own"? To me, these are the kinds of people I want to welcome with open arms. But the whole system is a joke, and even when we overturn DOMA and "reform" immigration, it'll be far from what it needs to be.
I'm a straightish woman. When I married an Australian man, our marriage visa process was a breeze, at least as far as immigration processes go–albeit expensive as usual. During the paperwork and interviews, I felt thankful and frustrated all at once. We were clearly given a pass because we were white and straight. That's not to say we haven't had our own frustrations (later on, we've found some minor bias against couples without children), but they've been nothing in comparison to being refused entry or left hanging for years on end.
My heart goes out to you two. I hope DOMA gets overturned and you find a way to be together in the U.S. at last. But if the troglodytes we have for justices don't overturn DOMA…move somewhere better if you can. Sometimes, though it may feel we're letting the system "win," it's better to realize life is just too short sometimes to keep fighting the good fight, at least so personally.May 13, 2013

It is unethical, immoral, and criminal in my mind, that a few individuals, based on their own personal feelings, can determine the lives of so many.May 14, 2013

For sake of LOVE, we need to overturn DOMA and allow gay marriage in every state. My partner and I met in May 2003. We were both in the Navy and unfortunately I was assigned to a ship in Norfolk VA. Each time I would have to go out to sea for a prolonged period of time or even on deployments, we would have to say our good byes, hugs, kisses in private while my fellow shipmates were allowed to see their loved ones off on the pier. So I somewhat feel your pain. This video hit me hard. Its not about same sex marriage, its about being able to love someone you really care about and having them by your side til the end. If either of these men were women, then it not be an issue. Its rediculous. You guys are an inspiration. Keep fighting.May 15, 2013
My husband is from France. I'm from the US. We've been together for 15 years. Until this year, the absence of gay marriage in France meant I couldn't immigrate there. Obviously the US was not an option either. Luckily, my father was born in Canada, so we moved here. We arrived in a new city with no jobs, no friends, no family, and almost no money. We were together, though. It was the best decision we've ever made.
Unfortunately, among gay binational couples, the couple in this article is lucky. One man in the couple is from a country that allows gays and lesbians to sponsor their partners for immigration. Of course, like straight binational couples, they should be able to decide to make the US their home.
Best to them. Hopefully DOMA will fall in June.May 16, 2013

My heart breaks for you. I sincerely hope you can reach a solution. I find it exceedingly unfair and disgusting that I, as a straight chick, have any more rights than any other person at all for any reason. It's so sad. Much love to you both. Sending hugs and good thoughts your way. <3May 17, 2013

I am so saddened that you are being kept apart. This is so ridiculous and unfair. I wish I could help. This is frustrating, and I can only imagine what it would be like to be kept apart from the man I love. I wish you both the best, and a good future.May 17, 2013
I wish you guys good luck. My partner and I have been together for 11 years. Manuel was detained 1 1/2 years ago and we fought the system like dogs. With a great lawyer, and the fact that he didn't have a criminal record, he was not deported back to Guatemala. We were so happy. We are really hoping to strike down DOMA as it would help our family so much. Manuel feels so lost with no rights but we are thankful to at least be together. I cannot imagine how tough it must be for you guys. My heart goes out to you both.May 17, 2013

I am an American that chose to exile myself to live with my British partner in the UK. We are unable to visit the US togther as my partner was once refused entry and we have been frightened to try again. This means that unless I go home alone visits back to the US are few and far between. I feel bad leaving my partner even though its just to visit my family and friends. We had a Civil Partnership in the UK in 2007 and although my partner has visited the US with me we have not been back since we got married, as it wasn't u til we had our CP that my partner was refused entry. US immigration authorities suspected that my partner would try and 'go illegal' and promptly sent her back home to the UK on next available flight after being detained for several hours. Thankfully the UK does afford me the option of being living with my partner but I gave up an aweful lot to do so. I gave up a career at the University of Minnesota and my job related masters degree. The worst has been to go years without seeing my family and friends. Neither of us have good jobs now and we simply can't afford to travel that often.The situation is better than nothing and I'm glad we have the option of being together in the UK but I'd love to go home. It would be nice to even just visit without fear of my partner being detained. I hope you guys are able to find a solution to your current situation and I too join you in hoping DOMA gets repealed.May 19, 2013
You story and ours so similar, for 8 years we have been waiting, hopeful that by July DOMA will be repealed and we all will be able to be apply for a Fiancee Visa. Good luck to you guys. We will all have to celebrate and rejoice in our victory. Thanks to DOMA.org for all you are doing as well. Jason & OscarMay 19, 2013

What a beautiful yet sad story! I find it disgusting that we don't have equal rights for everyone. We don't recognise gay marriage in Australia either. When will the politicians listen, if two people love each other they have a right to celebrate their love and for it to be recognised. Stay strong, you sound like a lovely couple!May 21, 2013

Jason and David, this is an unfortunate story at the moment, and I am sorry that half our country is filled with people with 18th century notions fairness and acceptable love. Fortunately, the tide is turning and they will be on the wrong side of history, as usual, sooner rather than later. I am hopeful that the right-wing of the Supreme Court's notions of Libertarianism and states rights will sway at least one or two of them to the right side, and strike down DOMA.
Even if this is unfortunately not the case, people my age (30) and younger are overwhelmingly in favor of equal rights in general for homosexuals, and I have little doubt that the crusading "Christian" Right's movement to make homosexuals second-class citizens will soon just be another shameful part of our nation's past, looked upon with the same disgust that we currently view the racially discriminatory laws of times past. Best of luck to you both, and to anyone similarly affected by these disgusting, discriminatory laws. With a little patience, it will just be a bad memory for all of us.May 22, 2013
How sad when love is criminalized and to 'protect' something they marganilize those doing such a sweet job of representing it. Good luck to you both.May 23, 2013
Reading this brought me to tears . I can't imagine living with out my spouse . To be honest I had no clue about this law. You would think that our country would move forward and no longer have such crazy insane laws.
My prayers are with you that this law is removed from the books . You two and so many others deserve the same rights as everyone else .
(Side note) you two are such a cute couple <3May 23, 2013
Matt Stanford
Y'know…I'm a straight male, and as such I could never fully grasp the BS same-sex couples have to wade through on the daily. I'm completely empathetic, and firmly believe that love is love, no matter what form it takes. The two of you fell madly in love in three days? I'm really happy for you. I wish you even more years, just as soon as this country stops oppressing every single person that ISN'T a straight white male.
I do find it sickening that these douchebags say "you've been visiting the country *too much,*" as if it really freaking matters. It's not their job to question why someone is there, unless they're a legitimate risk. A man flying to see the love of his life shouldn't be questioned. Especially when it's longer and truer than any straight relationship.
I do agree that DOMA needs to end. The United States needs to stop with the homophobic behavior. People are people, regardless what their race, religion, or sexual inclinations. David, Jason, and anybody else that is forced to live like this because of DOMA, or just the usual homophobic oppression of your area, know that I'll be rooting for you. This crap needs to end…May 23, 2013
Roger J Diamond
I laughed when the DOMA was signed, seeing that the majority of those behind the law were, oh, DIVORCED! Same sex couples were never a threat to heterosexual marriage, divorce is. Seriously, the Christian Right has corrupted Congress and the mindset of too many influential people.
After 27+ years of marriage I know that my marriage to my wife is strong. I couldn't imagine being apart from her for more than a week, let alone a year!
Stay strong, the stupidity of this "law" will end, sooner than later.May 23, 2013
This is exactly the reason that I refuse to get married. I CAN. I am a basically straight woman who's been in a long term relationship for years. I'm a freakin ordained minister who almost exclusively performs gay weddings, and I do it for free, every single time. But I'm not going to get married myself until this kind of horrible injustice is over. I couldn't be happy knowing that I have some sort of privilege that other people don't. I'll wait it out.May 23, 2013
It is a national shame and travesty that this BS is allowed. Equality for all. No exceptions.
Stay strong to all separated and apart.May 23, 2013

I'm so sad to read this. I've had to travel and live in different countries, and was able to drag my heterosexual husband with me and get him work visas and residency papers and all that sort of thing with a minimum of fuss. It's appalling to me that committed same-sex couples would be denied this basic freedom, for no logical reason. It's cruel. My heart goes out to both of you, and I wish there were something I could do (I'm Canadian, so I can't even vote in the US) to help. I do know Canada allows same-sex marriage (federally, so it's across the country) and there is an interim program to allow same-sex couples to immigrate. I know you'd like to stay in California, which I agree is lovely (and it has much better weather than anywhere in Canada), but if there are other couples out there that are open to the idea of living in Canada, here is a website with some information: http://www.legit.ca/ Again, good luck to you both, you seem like lovely people and I wish I could do something to help.May 23, 2013
I'm probably missing some legalese with this story.
I get the limits with the traveling visa but why doesn't either Jason move to the U.S. and (I presume he'd have to) become a citizen or David move to the U.K. and become a citizen?
Obviously it would be better to move to the U.K. since they actually recognize their marriage.
I get that David would have to leave his job, family & friends and "live in exile" as it was put but if they want to be together and have a life together, isn't that worth it? and it's not as though he'd never be allowed to visit his family back in the states.
Yes, I of course agree DOMA is horrible and I hope it is struck down in June but taking the emotion out of the story, the solution isn't that implausible.May 24, 2013
The DOMA Project
The law of the U.S. does not permit the British spouse to move here; in fact, even visiting is very difficult, as visits must be rare. It is not possible for the American spouse to move to the U.K. for reasons that are specific to their situation, even though British law does provide an avenue for immigration for same-sex binational couples. (Gay and lesbian couples do have greater rights in the U.K. than they do in the U.S., although the U.K. does not permit same-sex couples to marry.)
Like their opposite-sex counterparts, their future as a married couple can only be secure if they have equality under the law, including the equal right to choose where to live and build a life together. After six years together, they should not be forced to say goodbye at airports, and that is what DOMA is doing to them. Often it appears on the surface that a couple torn apart by DOMA simply has to make a choice to live outside the U.S., but no couple's specific circumstances can ever be fully shared or scrutinized. In this case, there is no choice available to them. If there was a way for them to be together, they would not, after six years, be going through this torment, expense and struggle.

Thanks for the touching story. I am one of those "Americans in exile", although to be honest, I know I'm happier here than I was before I left. I wish you the best of successes in rejoining your husband, and I'll give mine an extra hug tonight. :)May 25, 2013
Good luck boys. The rest of the world is waiting to see what the outcome is, and we look forward to good news for the two of you and many others in your situation in America.June 11, 2013
Dears Jason and David. I saw your video, and let me tell you it's been 10 minutes ago, and I am still crying… You know, I felt so happy that you two found each other's love for life, but in the end of the video, I saw the pain, the agony, the saddnes you've been living, and I just hope that you can really get together. I'm from Brazil, and I am feeling so lucky to know that I found the love of my life as well. But at the same time, I can't see all the things you guys and other couples are passing through and not be sad or even ashamed of the representatives that are responsible for this kind of things! Anyway, just letting you know that you're not alone! There's someone down here that thinks of you and prays that this whole thing is over! Count on me, stay strong and keep loving and caring for each other! Love you guys!June 12, 2013
Oh god I am crying…as someone who has had to deal with immigration, and 7 years of loving a man in another country, 7 years of only seeing him for 90 days or less each year…this hits me so hard.
At least after all the hardship, my husband and I can be together eventually because we happen to be heterosexual. But just because these two legally married men happen to have flesh that resembles a specific shape, they cannot go through American immigration. Immigration only recognizes marriages between straight people. They are in so much limbo…so much heart break…
You watch them cry and hold each other at the air port and how could you not cry with them? I could never deal with the fact that I love this man so much, but am unable to live with him.
Imagine if you couldn't be with the person you love for years…without much hope to make it permanant…I know how they feel….immigration is so hard…and if you're gay…you can't even bring your spouse to the states…Time to strike down DOMA for goodJune 13, 2013
What kind of sick, f**ked up world do we live in where we vehemently DENY our fellow man their basic human rights? In Maslow's heiarchy of needs, love is as essential as water and air. Let's pray the government doesn't start taxing air!! This story makes me ill just thinking of the pain these poor boys have had to endure. I just want to cry. You two are heroes, Jason and David….. A movie that moved me very deeply comes to mind, and it sums up so perfectly what I want to tell you.
"I hope that, whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns, and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you."June 13, 2013
I went through pretty much the same situation and I feel for you guys. It is not easy. In fact, it was so difficult, I gave up everything to move to his country and apply for residency, which was denied. But I stayed anyways, finding out first hand what it was like to be an illegal. You two deserve to be together. I was a little late, since my beloved died from a heart problem within 2 years of my moving here. Now I can not return. I sign petitions and write in favor of the overturning of DOMA for people like you. I will do what I can although I am so very tired of fighting every step of my life. Don't ever give up. Love to you both.June 14, 2013

No two Catholic Worker communities are alike. Dozens of communities, dozens of interpretations of how the vision of hospitality — and in many cases witnessing through resistance to injustice — are carried out.
On May 1, May Day, which celebrates the contributions of labor in society, the Catholic Worker Movement turned 75. Many communities are celebrating the anniversary. Some are having potlucks and reunions; others simply continue to engage in the corporal works of mercy with no fanfare.
The fact that the Catholic Worker has survived — even flourished — over the years speaks well of the vision of Dorothy Day (1897-1980) and Peter Maurin (1877-1949), the movement's co-founders. It's interesting to see that nearly 28 years after Day's death, more Catholic Worker houses of hospitality and communities exist than did when Day was living out her vision of how to follow the Gospel at Maryhouse in New York City.
The Denver Catholic Worker House, profiled in this week's issue of the Denver Catholic Register is one place where community flourishes and homeless people can find a place to stay, get a meal and clean up, no questions asked. Loretto Sister Ann Koop has lived at the house since it opened 30 years ago.
"It's a house, not a shelter or an agency," Sister Anna told writer John Gleason. "It's a place where people share space with others in need. When you see thousands of people on the street and look at this house with only nine bedrooms, you think it's nothing more than a ripple on the lake. But it's proven to be a big contribution to people's lives that have lived and worked here."
Her statement epitomizes the philosophy of the Catholic Worker. It's what makes the Catholic Worker much different than government-run agencies and highly structured shelters. Catholic Workers seek to create community with the lost and forgotten, much as Christ did when he walked from town to town 2,000 years ago.
Not every Catholic Worker community is perfect. Certainly few are tidy and neat. Never does anything run like clockwork. And it shouldn't. The movement deals with people and their imperfections. The idea is to live out the Gospel as closely as possible and to see Christ in others. Nothing more. And that's dirty work.

Hi everyone.
I'm currently recreating a lot of artworks from different scummvm games. I primary using them for my custom game boxes.
A great source for me are Laserschwerts Posters. But sadly he mostly did LucasArts games and only the front poster artworks. But i also need artworks from the back side.
So i started to learn how to retouch scanned images from boxes and other sources by myself. Here is an image from Beneath a Steel Sky I did:
I think I'm able to get a good cleaned up image. But for doing this i need scanned images from the games in high resolution. I already scanned most of my boxes. But I don't have every box. Sometime i have another version I could not use.
So I'm asking the community to help me out. If you have the box I'm lokking for, and own a scanner and are willing to help me this is what i need:
- High resolution scans (preferred 1200 dpi)
- No image compression preferred (so best TIF or BMP)
- Flat scans. Sometimes old boxes have bent a litte and did not lay totally flat on the scanner. In this cases i put a heavy book inside to straighten it.
Scans I'm looking for:
- Curse of Monkey Island Manual (front and back for the map)
- Grim Fandango Front
- Grim Fandango Back (different language versions would be great to remove text overlays)
- Woodruff Front
- Zak McKraken Back of Box
If you have any of these, please send me a PM.
Also if you have an gamebox-artwork you should think it is really great, but needs some retouching show it to me. I can't promise anything but i will have a look at it.
Do you still need the Grim Fandango scans?
I thought i sent the english version
Yes your scans are great and i already used them. But to get a complete clean image without text i need different versions. So i can take parts from different positions without overlays.
All right

Stanford's physical defense knocked out two Washington State quarterbacks on back-to-back series in the third quarter as the No. 5 Cardinal crushed the Cougars in rainy Seattle, 55-17.
Washington State came into the game with a new-found reputation for being physical on both sides of the ball. The Cardinal soon showed the Cougars just what that word means.
Stanford's modest 17-3 lead expanded rapidly in that third stanza when linebacker Trent Murphy nailed WSU quarterback Connor Halliday as he threw, which resulted in a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown by safety Jordan Richards.
Suddenly it was 24-3.
Halliday left the game and was replaced by freshman Austin Apodaca, who was promptly laid out by linebacker Kevin Anderson on a third down pass attempt. Apodaca left the game briefly while WSU punted, then Cardinal quarterback Kevin Hogan threw his third touchdown pass to make the score, 31-3. Apodaca returned on the next series just in time to throw a pick six to Murphy.
That made it 38-3. Game over.
Hogan faced no such pressure and he calmly carved up the WSU defense, going 16 of 25 for 286 yards with touchdown passes of 57, 33 and 45 yards. With the Cardinal's recent corps of talented tight ends now in the NFL, the Stanford offense has now become more vertical, with receivers like Devon Cajuste and Michael Rector routinely getting behind the Cougars secondary for big plays.
It was a dominant effort for Stanford, which rolled up 560 yards of total offense while holding WSU to 373 (much of it in garbage time).
For the Cougars, it's a stark reminder of how far they have to go before they can be competitive against top-flight Pac-12 competition. For the Cardinal, it was another chance to get playing time for its reserves, including one Barry Sanders, Jr., who scored his first career touchdown.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate confirmed one of President Barack Obama's key judicial nominees on Monday, completing an overhaul of the country's second most powerful court into one dominated by Democratic-appointed judges.
The Senate voted 55-43 to confirm Robert Wilkins to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. That gives Democratic appointees a 7-4 majority on the politically influential bench. The D.C. Circuit, second in clout only to the Supreme Court, hears appeals of White House actions and federal rules and regulations.
Wilkins' confirmation is a fresh demonstration of Senate Democrats' ability to push through most presidential nominations by a simple majority, thanks to a weakening of filibusters that they muscled through the chamber in November.
It came on the same day the Supreme Court heard arguments about a constitutional provision relating to temporary presidential appointments. At issue is Obama's use of the provision to make so-called recess appointments, which presidents can make without Senate approval.
Obama applauded the confirmation of Wilkins, who was previously approved unanimously by the Senate for a district judgeship. Obama said Wilkins would bring important perspective to the D.C. Circuit.
"He has applied the law with the utmost impartiality and integrity," Obama said in a statement. "I am confident that he will continue to do so on the D.C. Circuit."
Republicans' resistance to many Obama nominees, including judges, prompted Democrats to change years of Senate filibuster tradition. Instead of requiring 60 votes to move nominations forward, the Senate can advance almost all presidential nominees on a simple majority vote. The only exceptions are nominees to the Supreme Court.
The change virtually assured Wilkins' confirmation. In a just over a month, the Senate has confirmed two other Obama nominees to the court, Patricia Millett and Cornelia "Nina" Pillard.
Republicans again criticized the rules changes on Monday, though they said little about Wilkins' credentials.
"Our politics today desperately need the cooling saucer of the Senate," said Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. "The action by the majority leader to make it easier to consider nominations on a purely partisan basis went in the wrong direction."
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Judiciary panel, said Wilkins, who is black, would bring a "diverse personal and professional background help further enrich the judiciary."
Republicans and Democrats have bitterly fought over appointments to the D.C. Circuit. But none disputes the court's influence, which stems from its caseload and its reputation as something of a proving ground for the Supreme Court. Four of the high court's justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, previously served on the D.C. Circuit.
In addition to its 11 active judges, the D.C. Circuit also has six senior judges who handle a reduced caseload. Five of the senior judges were appointed by Republicans and one by a Democrat.
Until recently, the court had been a source of frustration for Obama.
Republicans repeatedly blocked his first nominee to it, Caitlin Halligan, until she withdrew her nomination. Sri Srinivasan was confirmed to the court in May, but Republican senators promised to stop any further nominees to the court. They said the bench did not have enough work to warrant filling its vacancies.
In November, under old procedures, Senate Republicans had blocked Wilkins' nomination. Furious, Democrats noted that Wilkins had been confirmed for a district judgeship in 2010 by a voice vote.

The Sharp LC-22DV200E is certainly big on up-front appeal. It features a built-in DVD player as well as a 22in LCD screen and also delivers a surprisingly svelte profile despite its double function, avoiding the dated, chunky appearance of so many combis.
It wears its slimness well, thanks to a high-gloss black fascia with subtle curves in all the right places.
The 22DV200E's connections, however, are really pretty basic, with only a single HDMI and a PC port catching the eye. It's worth reflecting, though, that the integrated DVD player relieves the TV of the need to cater for one very notable external source. Furthermore, the latter can play JPEGs, audio files and even DivX video, making the lack of a multimedia-capable USB port easier to accept.
In action, the 22DV200E uses its HD ready (1,366 x 768-pixel) screen and CCFL backlighting to reasonable effect. Particularly striking is how bright its pictures look compared with most small-screen LCD TVs. This boosts colours, ensuring good levels of vibrancy and fewer rogue-looking tones than we might have expected.
Fed an HD source through its solitary HDMI, the 22DV200E manages to reveal the 'HD difference', with obvious extra clarity and detail and more convincing and consistent colours. It doesn't harm the clarity, either, that the 22DV200E is better than many small TVs at suppressing motion noise.
Once you've wrestled a DVD into the stubborn slot, meanwhile, you are again presented with an enjoyable picture. The set upscales the standard-def source well, without emphasising noise or creating jagged curved edges and there's minimal DVD MPEG decoding noise.
More good news is that colour and contrast tend not to fall away too badly when the screen is viewed from an angle.
The 22DV200E has notable flaws, though. The sound quality from the set's speakers is very flimsy indeed, with practically no power or range. The electronic programme guide used to browse Freeview listings is ugly, hard to use and glitchy.
Finally, while the 22DV200E's contrast range and black level response are generally OK, there is both brightness inconsistency along the screen's edges and general clouding over dark scenes.
While these issues stop the 22DV200E from being a classic small TV, it's still an affordable combi that should appeal to many.

Does anyone else find this slogan for christianmingle.com unbelievably hypocritical.

God will provide everything for them no matter how great or small. This dating site slogan is so repulsive to me that I felt I had to ignite a discussion about it. It's just more of the same, say one thing and mean another all the time with some Christians. Sometimes…Continue

Disaster in the Eastern Africa
January 20, 2012 Category :Uncategorized Off
Drought, high food prices and the conflicts in the area are resulting as an unprecedented disaster that occurred in the summer of 2011. At its worst, more than two million children suffer from malnutrition. Child malnutrition has now begun to fall, but help is still needed.
It was the worst food crisis in Africa in twenty years. Record drought, food price increases and the conflicts in the area will affect at least next summer millions of people in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti.
This situation relates specifically to children, who are quickly taken over by the malnutrition and they lose resistance to disease. Even if these children survive, childhood malnutrition can leave permanent damage to their mental and physical development. More than two million children under five years old suffer from acute malnutrition, of whom 75 percent were located in Southern Somalia.

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, April 8, 1909
The town meeting for the election of town officers Wednesday was one of the quietest ever held on the island. There being no opposition to the Republican nominees, only 38 voters took the trouble to visit the polls.
Several large flocks of wild geese bound northward, passed over the island yesterday. One man counted eight flocks during the day, all of the, numbering 50 or more birds.
From the Newport Daily News, April 12, 1909
A force of men have arrived to equip Dr. W. L. Bates's sanitarium with steam heat in preparation for keeping the place open year round.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, April 7, 1934
An invitation ping pong tournament will be held at St. Matthew's parish house next Tuesday. … The tournament will be under the rules of the American Ping Pong Association. These require that the ball be hit back of the table in making the serves.
Jamestown's tax rate will remain at $20, according to the budget adopted Saturday afternoon at the annual financial town meeting. A budget totaling $95,925.26 was approved, and all other efforts to increase it by special appropriations were defeated with the exception of $750 out of $2,000 asked for public health nursing services. (Defeated were $300 for Jamestown Navy Day and $500 for the purchase of an athletic field. … By the close vote of 105 to 98, the meeting rejected a proposal to have biennial town elections, starting in 1935.)
50 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, April 7, 1959
(Robert M,) Clarke said that after checking with industrial leaders in Rhode Island, and with officials of the Raytheon Manufacturing Co, of Waltham, Mass., his committee was informed that Jamestown definitely is not being considered as a possible site for a Raytheon plant. Jamestown, Clarke said he was told, was the least logical of any site in the state.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, April 10, 1984
Concerned residents packed the Town Hall chambers Monday night and let the Town Council know they desire a limited access connector road between the island's two bridges.
The Town Council Monday night denied the renewal application for the ferry boat liquor license.
The Town Council Monday night awarded a Providence firm the contract to design the new solid waster transfer station.
From the Newport Daily News, April 12, 1984

15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, April 7, 1994
The five Russian ship's officers grimaced, then laughed as they watched quahogger Gerry Cavahlo swallow a freshly shucked raw clam right off the half shell. It was a quintessential Rhode Island moment, the kind of thing tourists come here hoping to find and would be sure to relate to their friends back home.
Two Jamestown teams took first lace Saturday in the Odyssey of the Mind state competition. … OM is designed to help students develop self confidence and learn to work together through problem-solving.
Due to painting on the Newport Bridge, traffic will be down to one lane on the access road from the bridge to Jamestown for the first few weeks of April.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, April 8, 1999
The youngest stars burn brightest in the new Jamestown Community Theatre production of Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a fantastic adventure into the amazing world of Willy Wonka - genius inventor, chocolatier and philanthropist.
The Naval Station in Newport is looking for a Jamestown resident to sit on the Restoration Advisory Board, a community-based group initiated by the Navy to oversee its cleanup of sites contaminated by previous military activity. The northern end of Gould Island is among 12 now slated to be evaluated and "restored" by the Navy under the Environmental Protection Agency's superfund program.

A woman 45 or older who was very attractive in her youth and is still drop dead gorgeous. Most often, a vintage fox will be the mother of one of your good looking friends. However, the vintage fox is not to confused with the MILF. The vintage fox is far more classy and does not inspire feelings of lust and sexual longing, but rather respect, awe and endearment for her elegance, charm and amazing good looks.
Have you met Sara's mom? She's got great hair, is super in shape and has a dazzling smile! She's also one of the coolest people in the world! What a vintage fox!

This new moisture senor should be useful in such applications as corrugated board, pulp and paper webs, non-wovens, and bulk solids such as chemicals, minerals, animal feed, and pet food. The ΔT data is continuously sensed and an output signal proportional to the product MC is generated by use of the Delta T mathematical model. The signal can be used to monitor moisture content of the product or control the moisture leaving the dryer, oven, etc.
This new development in Delta T moisture sensing and control complements the basic Delta T moisture control system that is able to sense the moisture inside the harsh environment of the drying system, thus reducing the dead time (and the moisture variation) by at least 30% and sometimes more. Consequently, if applicable, more water can be left in the product without exceeding the upper specification limit.
For more information, visit www.moisturecontrols.com.

Read it?
It says 'Show in Compass' and 'Show in Maps'. Maps is an App, so surely 'Compass' is an app? Perhaps a location sharing system like Google Latitude.
That's not to say it won't have a built in compass. I'd say it's quite likely as they're dirt cheap and the competition has them.

Skip to comments.Newsweek trashes the Bible in support of homosexual marriage
Posted on 12/08/2008 3:19:42 PM PST by Rennes Templar
Donald E. Wildmon Founder and Chairman American Family Association
December 8, 2008
Newsweek magazine has published a lengthy article (http://www.newsweek.com/id/172653) stating that the Bible supports homosexual marriage. The article was written by Lisa Miller, Newsweek religion editor.
Miller's article is one of the most biased and distorted pieces concerning homosexual marriage ever published by any major news organization. The article is much too long for this e-mail.
Dr. Albert Mohler has offered a response to the Newsweek article. I suggest you read Mohlers article (http://www.albertmohler.com/blog_read.php?id=2881) and then read Miller's Newsweek article.
Mohler made a significant point in his response: "The national news media are collectively embarrassed by the passage of Proposition 8 in California. Gay rights activists are publicly calling on the mainstream media to offer support for gay marriage, arguing that the media let them down in November. It appears that Newsweek intends to do its part to press for same-sex marriage. Many observers believe that the main obstacle to this agenda is a resolute opposition grounded in Christian conviction. Newsweek clearly intends to reduce that opposition."
Take Action! Send an e-mail to Newsweek telling Newsweek you are disappointed with its distorted interpretation of scripture. Forward this e-mail to your friends and family. They need to see how the media distorts scripture to support same-sex marriage. Ask them to send an e-mail to Newsweek:
Thomas E. Ascheim, CEO Newsweek 251 W. 57th St., New York, NY 10019 Phone: (212) 445-5245
E-Mail: email@example.com

I wonder if they knew that was the actual Bible passage when they pulled that comment? I realize the context was in poor taste, but it was the actual Bible passage. John 12:14.
Ok, so one of us needs to purchase it and start the boycott rolling. Seriously, money talks.
Newsweek *is* trash!
Ok, so one of us needs to purchase it and start the boycott rolling. Seriously, money talks.
All i did was quote the king james bible.
No, a better idea would be to have a prominent conservative publicly condemn that rag in harsh terms. Don't send emails or letters to that piece of used toilet paper (My apologies to used toilet paper). That magazine is pure leftist propaganda, I don't even read it for free at the dentist or doctor's office.
Newsweek and the perverted may trash the Bible all they wish, that does not take away from it's truths and power. Never has, never will. I do believe this will be a time of "sifting" out the faithful, I clearly see it moving in that direction, so stand stong.
Marie Jon has a good article ("There will be change" at renewamerica.us) about this very thing, focusing on the lack of principles that Obama demonstrates.
I'm amazed that they are both being printed. Who buys that trash? I haven't bought either in many years. The Internet will eventually eat them alive. By the time either News Mag comes out, it's way old news anyway.
I've read a few issues of newweek lately, and determined that they are definately Satanically influenced. I had determined never again to read an issue of that evil magazeen disguised as hard news (and information)!
Well then I guess David and Jonathan (according to them) aren't in the presence of God (and His Son) at this very moment-becuase both OT (Leviticus) and NT (Romans, etc) condemn homosexual behavior (of couse we know that they really loved eachother as brothers, and good friends-and that David was married more than once).
The only time I read this crap is while waiting in the doctors office. I think they are the only ones that buy it.
Leviticus 18:22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
"There are an abundance of homosexual apologists who have perverted the scriptures in many and juvenile ways, to support the idea, pirmarilly, that because the Bible doesn't specifically forbid homosexual marriage, that it is OK by God."
They're advancing such a stupid argument. By the same logic, the Nazis could say the Holocaust of the Jews is OK because after all, the Bible never uses the term "Nazi holocaust." "Internet pornography" is a term you won't find in scripture either. Does that mean it's OK?
God not only gave us His Holy Word but he also gave us a brain to discern truth from error. Prohibitions against murder and lust pretty much sum up Biblical opposition to the Nazi holocaust and internet porn.
On the issue topic, Jesus Christ definining marriage as an inherently co-ed institution(Matthew 19:4-6) and condemning all sexual activity outside of that relationship(Mark 7:21) pretty much sum up the Bible's negative position concerning homosexual behavior and marriage "redefinitions."
These same leftists will then turn around and say slaughtering animals for food and driving an SUV are unforgivable sins yet there exists absolutely no Bible verses to support either of those contentions.
I would respect them more if they would just come forward and admit that the Bible does condemn homosexual behavior, they just don't happen to agree with those prohibitions. Is it too much to ask the Left to be intellectually honest? Apparently so.
I agree, but she will continue her lib rant wherever she gets a forum, regardless of how many go down.
When will Miller write an article proving that the Holy Quran supports same-sex "marriage"?

FIFA Demands Airline Drop Ad That Didn't Mention FIFA At All
from the unofficial-sponsor-of-you-know-what dept
"Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 and 2011 Edition."Now it looks like something similar has happened with the World Cup and the South African airline, Kulula. Kulula, if you don't know, is somewhat famous for its sense of humor. In particular, I really like the way the company recently redesigned one of its airplanes as "Flying 101":
"Unofficial National Carrier of the You-Know-What."And, along with that it included images of stadiums, national flages and vuvuzelas (a type of horn regularly blown at football matches in South Africa). FIFA apparently sent a threat letter demanding Kulula pull the ad, calling it "ambush marketing." Apparently, FIFA has no sense of humor. After people got annoyed, FIFA put out a silly statement saying that it never said the airline couldn't use certain words or symbols -- but it just couldn't use them all in combination.
Of course, you have to imagine that all the additional attention to Kulula thanks to this "controversy" doesn't bother the airline one bit...

After the rout of the Conglomerate of Salt Miners, Arghbeard's Arrmada, and the Blue Bandana Knights, the nefarious Megabeard managed to create a foothole in the Brikverse. Now, the Nega-Portal at it's full power is corrupting all normal ABS into an inferior form. However, the Rainbow Wall still manages to keep the corruption largely in check. But now...
Megabeard, Skadword, and his minion Patrack gather at the Nega-Portal for their next plot.
"Patrack, you will use our Seeworld frigate and its anti-monument laser to destroy the Rainbow Wall."
"Duh... I got it!
Also, Pirate Jim is wandering the area, blissfully unaware of the various horrors he suffers daily.
To ensure the Seeworld Frigate makes it safely to the Rainbow Wall, Skadword has dispatched the Seeworld knight Tuna Tophat with a horde of zambehs to guard the path.
However, two forces soon arrive. On the left is the Blue Bandana Swordsman and his knights.
On the right are the Police, led by The Sheriff. He and the Swordsman got into an argument (Like always), leading to violent battle. The location was a result of koincidence.
The Battlefield
Turn 1
The Zombies, Knights, and Police all move ahead. The police vehicle runs over a wall.
Turn 2
Megabeard arrives from the Negaverse to provide aid to Tuna Tophat! He disentegrates a Knight's flier and sends hideous Negalings to assist the zambehs.
The Negalings proceed to gang up and destroy The Sheriff, and a crawler.
The enraged Police run over some Negalings, and shoot at the others. Their flier decides to land straight into the field, crushing Jim the Pirate!
The giant and mech allied with the Blue Bandana knights attack the zambehs, and fail. The red giant somehow screws up stepping on the scarab.
Turn 3
The Squid Barons and a Fish Knight charge at the flier, disabling it. Two Leapers kill the crew.
Tuna Tophat uses a Stupendous Feat to use his Farce powers and throw the mech into the Police.
Zambehs attack the knights, and two Graspers aid in plucking one knight far away.
The Sheriff's pet Besseh is enraged, and throws his damaged vehicle at the disabled flier! It causes a massive explosion wiping out the nearby Seeworld warriors. A robot also blows up and kills off the remaining Negalings.
The Blue Bandana Knights engage in combat with the zombies.
The one with the broom humilatingly kills a Manly-Manbie.
Finally, the Blue Bandana Swordsman tries a Stupendous Feat to bring a Stalagmite onto the zombies... but accidentally made one fling onto his own soldiers.
Turn 4
The Seeworld Frigate arrives at the Rainbow Wall.
And proceeds to use its anti-monument laser to utterly destroy it!
Megabeard reappears before Patrack, congratulating him for this victory. The dopey Patrack only looks on vacantly. With the Nega-Portal's corrupting powers now unhindered, what will happen now?
The Horde wins!

Are Minnesota universities trying to make complete buffoons of themselves? Last weekend in "Regulators Gone Wild" I noted the blunderbuss bureaucrats, acting as a protection racket for the state's hidebound universities, who tried to block online college courses from being offered in Minnesota. Today comes the news from The Daily Caller of how Concordia College is threatening disciplinary action against a student for the sin of embarrassing Democratic Congressman Collin Peterson. (Needless to say, if a student embarrassed a Republican congressman, she'd be a hero.)
The student, Kate Engstrom, asked Congressman Peterson a question after a public event, videotaped it openly (not secretly), and posted it on YouTube. Since Peterson is thought to have embarrassed himself, the university administration has apologized to Peterson for their impertinent student, and is pondering action against Engstrom:
Has Engstrom been hailed as a hero for publicizing the raw, uncut statements of a sitting member of Congress running for re-election? Has she been lauded for her passion about politics and for exercising her right to free speech?
Of course not.
Instead, according to Engstrom, her adviser insisted on a hasty meeting and explained that the YouTube posting had angered various Concordia bigwigs.
Engstrom's adviser also told her that Concordia's president, William Craft, had had already apologized to Peterson. The Concordia administration confirms the apology.
"President Craft spoke to Rep. Peterson and expressed regret concerning what Rep. Peterson experienced on campus," Concordia spokesman Roger Degerman told The Daily Caller.
Engstrom's adviser also told her that Concordia's president had suggested that she could face disciplinary action from the school for her actions.
Minnesota "higher education," beclowning itself yet again. Sounds like a case tailor-made for FIRE.

Celtics taken to OT before downing Hawks

BOSTON - Not this time.
Back on Jan. 25, the Atlanta Hawks rallied from 27 down and beat the Boston Celtics in double overtime.
Friday night, the Hawks again came back, this time from 12 down with six-and-a-half minutes left, but the Celtics, getting huge play from Paul Pierce and the last five points in overtime from Jason Terry, downed the visitors 107-102 for their fifth win in a row.
The win, Boston's ninth straight at home, was also Boston's 14th in 18 games since losing Rajon Rondo for the season to a knee injury. The win also pulled the Celtics into a tie with the Hawks for sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Both teams are 34-27, a half-game behind fifth-place Chicago.
Pierce, who had 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, scored five points in the OT, but it was his drive to the basket and kick-out to Terry that resulted in Terry hitting a 3-pointer with 1:05 left to break a 102-102 tie.
After an Atlanta turnover, Terry, who had 19 points off the bench, was fouled in the act with 9.9 seconds left and put the game on ice with two free throws. For good measure, Terry also grabbed the rebound of an Al Horford miss in the closing seconds.
Kevin Garnett had 17 points and eight rebounds as the Celtics, who eliminated Atlanta in the first round of last year's playoffs, overcame 32 points, nine assists and eight rebounds by Josh Smith. Horford delivered 22 points and 13 rebounds and Jeff Teague 26 points and nine assists.
Kyle Korver, leading the league in 3-point percentage, stung the Celtics with eight 3s the last time the teams played. In this game he was just 1-for-5 from the floor, but did hit a tying 3-pointer late in regulation.
Jeff Green had 11 points for the Celtics, including a 3-pointer from the left corner in overtime that hit the rim, bounced up and dropped through, giving Boston a one-point lead after the Hawks scored the first four points of the extra period.
The Boston bench outscored its Atlanta counterpart 46-8 as the Celtics took a 2-1 lead in the season series.
NOTES: With Zaza Pachulia (Achilles, missed third straight game) and Ivan Johnson (personal reasons) out, the Hawks gave 7-footer Johan Petro his first start of the season. Swingman DeShawn Stevenson, a veteran in his 13th NBA season, got the night off so he can guard Brooklyn's Joe Johnson in the second game of Atlanta's back-to-back at home Saturday. ... You can count Garnett among those not surprised by his team's play since losing Rondo, Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa for the season. "People who wrote us off didn't know really who we are," he told the Boston Globe. "I think half the journalists out there don't even watch basketball. They just talk. I really don't know what it is, we really don't care. Right now we're focused on what we're trying to do in here." ... Garnett, who hit his first 3-pointer of the season at Indiana Wednesday night, hit another one in the first quarter Friday. ... The Celtics open another two-game trip at Oklahoma City Sunday. ... Garnett, who just cracked the NBA's all-time rebounding top 10 (the achievement was recognized during the first timeout Friday), needed 36 points to pass Jerry West for 15th place on the all-time scoring list. Pierce needed 58 points to pass Sir Charles Barley and hit the NBA's all-time top 20. ... The bigger-than-expected snowstorm wasn't bad enough to keep the crowd size down significantly
