Jim Somerville draws from his experience teaching at a college to find a helpful approach to the coming and going of church members.
Many communities are becoming very transient places; people are coming and going all the time. That may be good for the housing market, but it is hard on the church. Often, just as you are getting to know and love that nice young couple who joined the church, they tell you they are leaving. And that can really break a pastor's heart. It is gratifying to have new members joining, but it is hard to build community when there is a "revolving door" on the church.
What if we recognized that many of our members will be with us for only a few years and did all we could in that time to teach them well? Hopefully, when they leave us they will go out into the world as "ambassadors", taking with them what they have learned from us.
Some people stay. Even on a university campus there are some constants. There are members of the faculty and staff who have been around for a long, long time. Those people provide a sense of community even when students are coming and going. They make the place familiar. The same could be said for our churches. There are people in every congregation who are as much a part of the church as the building itself. Seeing them in the pews and in the hallways makes us feel at home. I thank God for those people.
Some people don't stay. The students on a college or university campus are usually there for no more than four years. Professors know that when they welcome them to their first class. Their job is to give them the best education they can in those four years so that they will be ready to go out into the world and make the institution proud. What if we in the church recognized that many of our members will be with us for only a few years and did all we could in that time to teach them well? Hopefully, when they leave us they will go out into the world as "ambassadors" of some sort, taking with them what they have learned from us. It does not mean that their "graduation" will not be bittersweet, but at least it will not be only bitter.
Both kinds matter. Colleges and universities often refer to current students and alumni. The current students are the ones who are there on campus, the ones who are going to classes and eating in the cafeteria. The alumni are those former students who have gone out into the world to make the institution proud. Any college or university president would tell you that both groups matter: you cannot support an institution without an active alumni organization, but without an active student body you would not need to.
A word to your "alumni:" Encourage them to support and pray for the work of your church. Invite them to send money and stay in touch.
A word to your "faculty and staff:" Encourage your standard bearers to keep doing all they can to make your church feel like home to those who pass through its doors. Get to know the names of those "new students." Make them feel welcome. Instill in them a love for your church and its traditions.
A word to your "current students:" Encourage your newcomers to dive in deep and immerse themselves in the life and ministry of your church while they are with you. Invite them to join, and give, and serve. Who knows? They may be one of those people who comes to town for a few years and ends up staying forever.

One of the best laptop bags that contribute to saving the environment are the ones made from recycled products, environmentally conscious materials, and organic fabrics. These are also certainly your best choices when you want to make a statement that may or may not influence your friends and relatives to do the same.
Some of the materials generated for these kinds of bags are used billboard posters, rice papers, old newspapers, organic or recycled cotton or felt, etc. (Messenger Bag Patterns Free Fashion and Lady Articles..) Some are even waterproof due to the fact that they're made from recycled vinyl movie posters. Now that is truly an awesome combination of convenience and eco-friendliness. (Messenger Bag Patterns Free Fashion and Lady Articles..) Some designs are also made from other commonly used materials such as aluminum and polyester. Others are made of used rubber such as the ones used by tires and automobiles.
Hemp or Organic Cotton can also be used to make eco-friendly laptop type bags. Hemp is basically used to make clothing, fuel, medicine, oil, etc. (Messenger Bag Patterns Free Fashion and Lady Articles..) Most hemp bags are a favorite choice for people who are members of the vegan community because they're made without using animal products. Hemp or Cotton laptop bags are your best choice if you want to go organic, instead of recycled.
Other organic laptop bags are the ones made from pesticide-free cotton. Some designs are organic cotton laptop sleeves that are absolutely stylish enough for both women and men. In contrast to the recycled or hemp laptop bags, you won't have to worry about injuring your fashion sense if you go with these eco-friendly laptop bags. (Messenger Bag Patterns Free Fashion and Lady Articles..) They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns to choose from. As long as you know the right one that suits your sense of style, you won't have a problem picking one because there are so many choices.
Eco-friendly laptop bags are certainly a rising trend. They offer you mobility, portability, and absolute convenience.


Airtel Tanzania has announced the launch of a new quick sort-term loan service, known as 'Timiza,' with which users can borrow between TZS 500 and TZS 500,000 through their mobile phones via Airtel Money.
The new service is offered in partnership with pan-African credit provider AFB with loan repayment periods of seven, fourteen, and twenty-eight days.
Sunil Colaso, Airtel Managing Director, echoed the Ministers expectation of economic empowerment and explained that that this service will also help to stimulate financial inclusion across multiple groups including women, business entrepreneurs and individuals, many of whom currently represent part of Tanzania's unbanked population.
"We believe that this will stimulate financial inclusion especially to a vast majority of the unbanked population, offering them fresh capital to manage their short and long term needs," he reiterated.
Over the past 10 years, the number of mobile phone and internet users in Tanzania has tripled to 8.4 million and 9.6million respectively with official figures showing a total of 972.6 million mobile money transactions in the country in just the year from 2013-2014.
According to Hon. Mbarawa, in spite of an increasing number of banking institutions, access to financial services win the country remains somewhat limited, but the government remains committed to increasing this access to reach more than 50% by 2016.


This doctrine establishes factors that if not carefully monitored will potentially lead to the destabilization of any relationship. Relationships are a bond which could be unconscious or conscious between anything or anyone including with yourself. Experience has shown that people are clueless as to what role they are to play in relationships. This article will focus on a man-woman relationship. It is everywhere you go; people crying because they have been hurt in relationships or because they are unaware of their role. The Doctrine which is presented in this text will highlight certain factors one ought to at least consider before, during and after a relationship.
People enter relationships for different reasons and sometimes these contradicting reasons are the major cause for break-ups, heartache and unhealthy lifestyles. If one person is just in for fun while the other is looking for something serious then there are bound to be arguments because one partner feels that they are putting in more into the relationship.The first factor is Communication which is the most important aspect of any relationship because you can't read every detail in your partner's mind, unless of course you are psychic. The ability to communicate effectively and efficiently can be learnt. What you need to know before you start any relationship is why you desire to be in it. If it is because you are in love, then it is probably a good enough reason, but does your future partner feel the same way? The failure to communicate why both parties are entering a relationship will only cause problems and thus lead to heartache and eventually break-up.
If your partner is in just for the short term, then you are taking a risk of putting your all. Communication will always put you on the same level with your partner; it should be exercised consistently and effectively.The PADOR considers "Have a life" an important factor. Having a life in a relationship may be tough or completely impossible when you live for the relationship and not for yourself. Living for yourself would mean that you can be happy alone and with someone else. Needing someone, feeling lonely are wrong reasons to be in a relationship because once you go into a relationship needing your partner; you become the undeniably weak link of the relationship.
Also, if you decide to pursue a relationship because you are lonely, then ask yourself if you can "have a life"? When your partner doesn't make that daily-night call, you feel left alone and anger gradually builds up inside of you. You become too needy that you fail to realize they also have a life to live.Critics of this doctrine may claim that Trust should be the first most important aspect or factor of any relationship. I agree of its importance but it is, however, not the most significant. Trust is built overtime and with candidness.
In order for one to build trust, you must be able to communicate with your partner exactly what your wants and needs are and why you wanted to be with him/her.When the trust you have invested in him/her proves futile; it will pain and that is why it is important to "have a life" because the relationship you have with yourself would support you. This doctrine has no cure for emotional problems because they can't be solved by logic. This text also does not guarantee anything; it is just a guide to keep you constantly thinking each step of the way.

Household Survey [hh/oth]
The BAIS is Botswana's national population based household sexual behavioral survey. The baseline survey was conducted in 2001. Further surveys were conducted in 2004, 2008 and 2013. The primary objective of the BAIS IV 2013 was to update current information on the sexual behaviour patterns of the population aged 10-64 years and the HIV prevalence and incidence rates among those aged 18 months and older at national, district and sub-district level. This information wil be used for continuous strategic prevention, national HIV program planning and future HIV and AIDS research.
Households and Individuals
Version Description
Version Date
The survey was intended to provide:
i. national HIV prevalence and incidence estimates among the population aged 18 months and older
ii. indicative trends in sexual and preventive behavior among the population aged 10-64 years
iii. a comparison between HIV rate, behavior, knowledge, attitude, and cultural factors that are associated with the epidemic with estimates derived from previous surveys
iv.demographic and socio-economic data, and data on housing and household members to examine the determinants and consequences of the pandemic.
The survey had national coverage.
The survey covered all household members
Statistics Botswana Ministry of Finance and Development Planning
National AIDS Coordinating Agency (NACA)
The Household Questionnaire was used to list all members of the selected households and their demographic characteristics such as age, sex, orphanhood (0-17 years) and economic activity.
The Individual Questionnaire was designed to capture information regarding demographic characteristics, care and support, marriage and cohabiting partnerships, alcohol consumption and drug use, sexual history and behavior, male circumcision and sexually transmitted diseases, knowledge about HIV/AIDS and level of interventions, attitudes towards people with HIV/AIDS, childbearing and antenatal care as well as availability of social and medical services in response to the pandemic.
The estimates from a sample survey are affected by two types of errors: (1) non-sampling error, and (2) sampling errors. Nonsampling errors are the results of mistakes made in implementing data collection and data processing, such as failure to locate and interview the correct household, misunderstanding of the questions on the part of either the interviewer or the respondent, and data entry errors. Although numerous efforts were made during the implementation of the 2008 BAIS III to minimise these type of errors, non-sampling errors are impossible to avoid and difficult to evaluate statistically.
Sampling errors, on the other hand, can be evaluated statistically. The sample of respondents selected in the 2008 BAIS III is only one of many samples that could have been selected from the same population, using the same sample design and expected size. Each of these samples would yield results that differ somewhat from the results of the actual sample selected. Sampling errors are a measure of the variability between all possible samples. Although the degree of variability is not known exactly, it can be estimated from the survey results.
A sampling error is usually measured in terms of standard error for a particular statistic (mean, percentage, etc.), which is the square root of the variance. The standard error can be used to calculate confidence intervals within which the true value for the population can reasonably be assumed to fall. For example, for any given statistic calculated from a sample survey, the value of that statistic will fall within a range of plus or minus two times the standard error of that statistic in 95 percent of all possible samples of identical size and design.
The standard error can also be used to compute the design effect (DEFT) for each estimate, which is defined as the ratio between the standard error using the given sample design and the standard error that would result if a simple random sample had been used. A DEFT value of 1 indicates that the sample design is as efficient as simple random sample: a value greater than 1 indicates that increase in the sampling error is due to the use of more complex and less statistically efficient design.
If the sample of respondents had been selected as a simple random sample, it would have been possible to use straightforward formulae for calculating standard errors. However, the BFHS sample is the results of a stratified two stage design which is considered a complex design, hence special methods and softwares are required to take into account the complexity of the design.
WesVar 4.3 statistical software (supported by WESTAT) was used to obtain standard errors, confidence intervals and design effect for selected indicators. It is a powerful tool for statistical data analysis from complex survey designs which includes multi-stage, stratification and unequal probability samples. Jackknife replication method was applied which forms part of the replication options within this software. To estimate variances using the jackknife method requires forming replications from the full sample by randomly eliminating one sample cluster (enumeration area) from a domain or stratum at a time. Then a pseudo-estimate is formed from the retained EAs, which are re-weighted to compensate for the eliminated unit. Thus, for a particular stratum containing k clusters, k replicated estimates are formed by eliminating one of these, at a time, and increasing the weight of the remaining(k - 1) clusters by a factor of k /(k - 1). This process is repeated for each cluster.
Note: See detailed sampling error calculation which is presented in 2008 BAIS-III final report.

GOOD MORNING! Ready to go??
Okay. We're getting a nice early start, so I'm scheming… How'm I going to advocate for my hidden agenda? Yes, we're heading for Fes, and yes, we're going to go through Azrou and Ifrane… but I'm going to try to convince my fresh and well-rested ever-faithful driver to take a back road to Sources de L'Oum Rhbia. We have been there only once before, but it's kinda sorta (not really…) on the road to Azrou and Ifrane. We would not normally take people to Sources de L'Oum Rhbia coming from this direction: it involves driving lots of little backroads through the mountains. Scenic as anything, mind you, but this spot is really best visited as a day trip from Fes.
This spot is truly off the beaten path. It's mentioned in passing in most of the guidebooks, but it isn't "on the way"; you need to be deliberate about making this visit. It's one reason why I press people to plan longer trips to Morocco rather than shorter ones: my heart breaks when I think of people zooming down the road to hit all the "main event" attractions and destinations in Morocco, unknowingly driving past some truly cool, amazing, or otherwise lovely and memorable sites. I know, I know… you can't do it all, but… BUT.
"Sources de L'Oum Rhbia" means "Source of the Rhbia River," so we are visiting the source, literally, or headwaters of the substantial Rhbia River, which courses some 555 kilometres west to the Atlantic Ocean. There are beautiful waterfalls here! They are perhaps not quite as dramatic as the Cascade d'Ouzoud, a popular daytrip from Marrakech, but they are still lovely, and they have other charms. The water charges through a fairly short narrow canyon, and the canyon (and falls) are easily accessed from a parking lot just a couple hundred metres away. It's a good path, and ordinary walking shoes will see you there easily.
But here's what I really, really love, aside from the beauty of the falls themselves: the people who live nearby have constructed cabanas all along each side of the path and canyon. When you've seen all you like of the falls, you can relax in one of the cabanas, and if you like, the local ladies will make lunch for you. You see Imad and I in our profile picture? That's us in one of the cabanas, having a tagine lunch! It's such a seeecret place! Moroccan families come here for an outing. It's rare to find tourists here. Seeecret!
We drive on through the Middle Atlas. It is SO beautiful, and so very different from any other place in Morocco. It's higher and cooler, of course, but you are also more "north", geographically, and the changes in the landscape are dramatic. You can look at the rocks, and yes, you're still in Morocco, and then look at the trees, and… maybe not! For there are no longer any palms up here, and no olives. No, now it's pine, oak, cedar. The air is cooler, fresher, sharper.
We spot the temporary encampment of some nomads who are grazing a flock of sheep. A little further along, we find a couple of stone houses with roofs tiled and pitched at an angle that would be completely unremarkable in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. In fact, there are no villages and few houses or farms in this area: in winter, there can be 12 metres of snow here, closing roads until spring. Really. Yes. Snow. Morocco.
We're just a few kilometres away from Azrou – means "big rock", so named for the significant rock that is the focal point of this small city situated at the junction of the Middle and High Atlas ranges. Whatever charms the city might have, they are completely overshadowed by the Gouraud Cedar Forest. Of course, it's not really about the trees. No, not really. It's about the Barbary monkeys who make their home here.
It's true that many of the monkeys are totally shy and won't approach people, but they are endangered, and there's a particular picnic spot where the local monkeys are ruined. They are most certainly not shy of humans. If anything, they possibly have little regard for people except as sources of food. Yummy treats. Bananas. Dates. Peanuts. Who knows what else.
I know. I do really struggle with this. As a Canadian, I do understand the whole issue of feeding wildlife, and how destructive it is. It's also a cool experience to feel the delicacy with which the monkeys take the tidbit from you. To feel that connection with another creature through the length of a date. And to feel hypocritical all at the same time: how is it that the same act that puts another nail in the coffin of this species is also one that so powerfully heightens your appreciation for them? They are beautiful, playful, entertaining, and even endearing, but they are still wild, and have the potential to be aggressive if they think they're not getting their share. Be fair!
We're making our last coffee stop in Ifrane, a bustling university town with broad streets and boulevards, avenues of shady trees, and idyllic parks. If it weren't for the fact that street signs are in Arabic and menus in French, you would swear you were somewhere in temperate Europe, Canada, or the US. We're at a nice little cafe, sitting on the patio in the dappled shade of some leafy chestnuts. Across the street is a well-known little park featuring the famous stone lion carved by a WW2 prisoner when Ifrane served as a POW camp. The carving commemorates the last wild Atlas lion killed in the area in the 1920's. We watch as a Moroccan family gets organized to have a picture taken. Everybody who visits Ifrane gets a picture taken with the big old cat. We do, too.
And on to Fes. We stop for a quick look at the Belvedere Oughmari which offers sweeping views of the Middle Atlas valleys, lushly green and quilted with patches of dark forest and, olive orchards, and pastures dotted with grazing sheep. Idyllic!
We're soon into the outskirts of Fes. At first, it's the increase in individual houses, then hopeful new housing developments in various stages of construction, then roadside shops and cafes, and the inevitable crush of bicycles, motorcycles, donkey carts, and suddenly the cacophony of big-city traffic. We've arrived – time to find our riad, a quiet patio, and dinner.

Lately, Mayor Anthony Calderone has walked a very fine line when it comes to veracity.
What's perplexing, and frankly troubling, is that Calderone's dubious statements could have been avoided.
Two instances come to mind.
At last week's village council meeting, Rory Hoskins, commissioner of accounts and finances, presented a Dec. 30 Moody's Investment Services report that downgraded the village's bond ratings.
When Hoskins surprised Calderone with this report, one of the things Hoskins asked was whether the mayor had been contacted by Moody's.
"First time to my knowledge in almost 16 years that Moody's has ever made any contact with the village of Forest Park to anyone in any capacity," Calderone told Hoskins.
On Wed., Dec. 29, 2010 – a day before the report was issued – Moody's analyst Dennis Lam sent Calderone an email that reads "Attached please find a draft of Moody's rating report for the Village of Forest Park, IL."
Even though Calderone was unaware of Moody's trying to make any contact with the village, he admitted to receiving a "panicked call," make that a "panicked e-mail" – his secretary Sally Cody reminded him she was the one who got the email – from a rep who said Hoskins did not return their calls. And, to the mayor's credit, Hoskins failed to get in touch with the rep.
"I do take some responsibility," said Hoskins regarding his blunder.
Then Commissioner Marty Tellalian wanted to know if the mayor was aware of the report.
Calderone said he didn't have a copy of the report.
"We invite you to review our report prior to publication," reads the email sent from Moody's to Calderone.
To be fair, that report was a draft, and it was supposed to be confidential – kept from the public, though, not from other officials. But, since then, a public report has been issued. We asked the mayor, why didn't he simply say Moody's contacted him. Why tell the board, and the citizens of Forest Park, on the record, that "Moody's has [never] made any contact with the village of Forest Park"?
"I don't know why I simply didn't say that," Calderone told us. He said, he'd "want to look at the tape" to check on his remarks. Well, we have an audio recording, if you'd like to take a listen, Mr. Mayor.
One more thing: Calderone has taken out several campaign ads in the Forest Park Review. On page two of the March 2 issue Calderone's ad features bullet-pointed achievements that read: "Balanced budgets" (the budget is not balanced, there's a $2 million deficit); NO deficit spending (we'd be surprised if a village official could point to a month in the not-too-distant past where the bills were paid without a deficit); Reduced debt (Moody's just downgraded the bond rating due to steadily decreasing revenue and $15.3 million in bond debt).
These are tough economic times and the village has certainly tightened its belt, but point to those examples. Don't stretch the truth. Why not say you were in touch with Moody's? We are now aware that the report exists. Why take out an ad that incorrectly portrays the current financial situation? It seems like you're asking for criticism.
Like Lennon said, "All I want is the truth."
Correspondence between Dennis Lam, a Moody's analyst, and Mayor Anthony Calderone. The email contradicts Calderone's claim that Moody's never contacted anyone in the village in "any capacity," and that he didn't have a copy of the bond report.


The company has unveiled two new models clearly designed for small-sized gaming computers.
We haven't seen anything other than a photo the company uploaded to Facebook, but the graphics card is very similar to ASUS' DirectCU Mini models. We know very little about the graphics card, but since it features SLI ports, we are talking about possibly a GTX 760 or a GTX 670.
Alongside this graphics card, there is a motherboard with Intel chipset and socket, looks like an LGA 1150, which would make it a mini-ITX with gaming-like aesthetics. We guess it'll also feature a Wi-Fi network card with dual antenna, two DDR3 RAM slots and PCI Express 16x.
What is clear is that manufacturers are offering increasingly small components, which are, in turn, increasingly powerful. Hopefully, we will tell you more about these new devices soon.

The goal of the business, according to the announcement, is "to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the 'Big Tech' companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America."
Also said to be coming soon: a subscription video on demand service: TMTG+, which will feature "'non-woke' entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more."

Announcing Trump Media & Technology Group
PALM BEACH, FL -- October 20, 2021 -- Trump Media & Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: DWAC) have entered into a definitive merger agreement, providing for a business combination that will result in Trump Media & Technology Group becoming a publicly listed company, subject to regulatory and stockholder approval. The transaction values Trump Media & Technology Group at an initial enterprise value of $875 Million, with a potential additional earnout of $825 Million in additional shares (at the valuation they are granted) for a cumulative valuation of up to $1.7 Billion depending on the performance of the stock price post-business combination. Trump Media & Technology Group's growth plans initially will be funded by DWAC's cash in trust of $293 Million (assuming no redemptions).
Trump Media & Technology Group's mission is to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the "Big Tech" companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.
Trump Media & Technology Group ("TMTG") will soon be launching a social network, named "TRUTH Social." TRUTH Social is now available for Pre-Order in the Apple App store. TRUTH Social plans to begin its Beta Launch for invited guests in November 2021. A nationwide rollout is expected in the first quarter of 2022. Those who are interested in joining TRUTH Social may now visit www.truthsocial.com to sign up for the invite list.
President Donald J. Trump, the Chairman of TMTG, stated, "I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I'm excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn't someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!"
Patrick F. Orlando, Chairman/CEO of DWAC, stated, "Digital World was formed to create public shareholder value and we believe that TMTG is one of the most promising business combination partners to fulfill that purpose. DWAC currently has $293 Million in trust, assuming minimal redemptions, which can fuel TMTG's scale up, including to provide world class leading technology services to build strong and secure social networks and diverse media offerings. Given the total addressable market and President Trump's large following, we believe the TMTG opportunity has the potential to create significant shareholder value."
Additionally, TMTG intends to launch a subscription video on demand service (TMTG+). TMTG+ will feature 'non-woke' entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more. TMTG has named Scott St. John as the leader of TMTG+ Corporate Operations.

Breaking the Bank: Life is Lived and Not Lost, Even in Defeat!
Life is Lived and Not Lost, Even in Defeat!
Two days of defeat. First there was fishing, then the superbowl. Defeated in both but man, there is nothing else I would rather be doing. I love the two sports so every moment was fantastic!
Saturday I met up with a new buddy that I met on fish sniffer. We went out to fish for striper and sturgeon at the deep water channel. When we got there some drunk guys warned us about a ship having gone through earlier in the day and the tide being low. On a side note, I knew next to nothing about tides before this Saturday. My buddy showed me an app about how the tides work and how they affect fish behavior. Apparently low tide affects fish in a negative way and sure enough we didn't even get a bite. We threw out eel/sardine, eel, shad combos for sturgeon and sardines and mudsuckers for striper. We went home empty handed but I got to know my buddy a bit more and camaraderie is a big part of fishing.
Then Sunday came. The Superbowl! Even bigger than that is the fact I am a Niner fan and have been forever. And the fact that it had been 18 years since we had made a bowl run and this would have made us 6 for 6! Well for anybody not living under a rock, you know the Niners lost which sucked for lack of a better way of putting it. But I got to watch a Niner superbowl with my gorgeous wife, friends and my nephew sat through his first entire football game and actually enjoyed it!
So as I said, this weekend was marked by defeat in the two things that I love: Fishing and football. I will take a defeat in both of those areas over not having them in my life at all. You can't catch fish EVERYTIME you go and You can't win all the games you play. But as long as you keep enjoying the things that you love, life is good! We'll get them next time!
Go Ravens!!!! Hey, I'm just kidding. I rooted for the Niners too, but I have to tell you I was ready to turn it off at half time. Glad I stayed on since it turned out to be a pretty good game.

Davies Shines in D.C. United Win Over Crew
Posted on March 20, 2011 by Robert Hay
DC United and the Columbus Crew are two of the MLS's original franchises and two that are going through the reboot phase. For DC United, the rock bottom came last year with a last place finish, a porous defense, and an offense that at times wouldn't scare a high school team. Management decided the team needed a facelift, leading to a starting XI tonight that featured five players suiting up for the first time in a DCU shirt. Columbus, conversely, is hoping to avoid DCU depths after an offseason where the club offloaded some of their biggest names to begin a necessary rebuilding process. Despite a tough loss to begin the season in the CCL, the team is looking to see how far it needs to rebuild and if it already has the talent to compete for a playoff spot.
These storylines alone would have made this an interesting match. But at the end of ninety minutes, the story of the evening was Charlie Davies. After a few years of painful rehab and hell on earth, Davies entered the match with DC United holding a 1-0 lead and soon had his first chance on goal. In the 62nd minute, Chris Pontius (who had a great return from injury himself tonight) was pulled down in the box and awarded a penalty. Davies stepped up and cooly slotted it home. After the match, head coach Ben Olsen told the media that he was surprised himself that the new #9 took the kick. "It wasn't my call and if I had to be absolutely honest with you, I wouldn't have given it to him," said Olsen. Instead, he noted that it was DC captain Dax McCarty's responsibility to give the ball to Davies to take the penalty, leading to a great moment for the 18,000 plus in attendance.
The second goal was a thing of beauty: taking a long pass from Marc Burch, Davies sprinted by a defender on the left, made keeper Will Hesmer commit and flail as he ran by and slotted the ball home to give DC a 3-0 lead. Columbus would add a goal on a Robbie Rogers penalty kick, but they could get no closer as DC United begins the season 1-0. Davies looked pretty healthy during his time on the pitch, showing little rust from his time away from the game. In the 72nd minute, he made a great move on the attack to shake his defender and get in a good pass to Chris Pontius, who failed to convert the chance. Afterwards, Davies was understandably emotional about the game. "Once that final whistle blew and I looked over at the fans, I lost it," he said to the media afterwards. When pressed what he meant, he said, "I cried. It just came out of me. It was triggered by the support."
The Davies story line overshadowed what may have been an even more impressive debut, that of 34 year-old Josh Wolff. Wolff started with his fellow new forward Joseph Ngwenya and was a constant threat in the match, mainly taking passes from Chris Pontius and the rest of the United midfield. He notched the first goal on a pass over the top from defender Jed Zayner. He then endeared himself to the fans by whipping off his shirt and jumping into the stands. Ben Olsen noted that Wolff was his MVP of the match, and one wonders if he can find the fountain of youth in the DCU 4-4-2.
While most of the storylines will be written about DC United, let's take a moment to focus on the Columbus Crew. To be honest, the Crew were ineffective tonight, especially offensively. DC started their rookie centerback Perry Kitchen and for the first sixty minutes or so the Crew failed to challenge him or the rest of the United defense. Jeff Cunningham started and was invisible until he was subbed off in the 60th minute. His fellow starting forward was Andres Mendoza, and Mendoza didn't offer much, looking a little slow. Columbus star Chad Marshall was stout in the back and was a threat on set pieces, and one of the few highlights of the match. Another was sub Robbie Rogers, who somehow didn't start but who was effective once he came on in the 66th minute. While Columbus had the same number of shots as DC and even one more shot on goal, they had fewer quality scoring chances. Their defense had a hard time with Chris Pontius and, after a slow start, Andy Najar. Two factors for the poor play were injuries and new starters: rookie Rich Balchan got the start tonight because of an injury to Shaun Francis and Julius James was tabbed to start against his old team over Andy Iro. Balchan was Josh Wolff's victim on the first goal.
In the grand scheme of things, this was just another match. By September, these teams may have forgotten this one and it may not have any discernible impact on either the playoff race or the race for the second draft pick. It may just be another game. But for one night, for one player, this match was the fulfillment of a long journey that will hopefully continue for years to come. Hats off to Charlie Davies and let's hope this is the beginning of the next stage in his career.

Good for Davies. Very happy to see him convert not just a penalty, but score a second goal. So important for him and his confidence to get back up and hopefully somewhere down the line if not this season, but next with the National Team. I think Davies should stay in MLS and tell Schoux he will stay at home.
SkippY says:
I'm very happy for Charlie. But it was very risky to let him take that PK. I'm glad it worked out for DC.
good for CD
that's some horrendous announcing . Did the guy actually say "more charlie for davies" ? and then the rapid fire "it's in the net, it's in the net"
Es prematuro anunciar una gran campana del DC en el campeonato.
Sancho says:
De verdad que ganó a Columbus, un equipo de que no se espera mucho en la temporada, y en casa, pero aún es una victoria. La pelea de DC es para terminar entre los 5 primeros de la tabla del Este y ver se eso es suficiente para adentrar en los playoffs. El objetivo es ser un real competidor en 2012.
It's true that they beat Columbus, a team that no one expect much this season, and in DC's home ground, but it is a win nevertheless. DC's struggle is to finish in the Estearn Conference top-5 and hopr that this will be enough to put them into the playoffs. Their real goal is to come strong in 2012.
Saludos./Best.
DC and KC looked better. BIG win for DC.
Let me just take a page out of the Euridiots playbook. EVERY game matters in MLS.
When are you posting the fantasy standings ?
It hurts all the more that a Sounder's fan is leading the whole ESPN site, while we voted with our hearts and are wallowing in mediocrity while the Sounders lose.
alaboston says:
McCarty was brilliant for giving Davies the PK. Davies was –understandably– a bit timid at first, but once he got the PK the game came much better to him. The second goal…wow. I'll be curious to see how he finishes up the season, I thought he'd have between 7-8 goals, but now I'm not wondering if he could have more than that.
random aside: I know the upper bowl was absolutely empty, but it was a pretty good crowd for RFK.
I wonder if the solution in DC would be to build a (removable?) roof between RFK's lower and upper decks…
nicc says:
the upper bowl only gets used for away fans.
Chris Riordan says:
I think building a retractable roof would be way more expensive than the franchise would be willing to spend, especially at aging RFK.
The crowd was great, the place was absolutely rocking. Both the team and fans needed this start. Vamos United!
