Sheriff's officers arrest third suspect in King George gang style shootings
- Details
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 14 May 2014 11:12
- Published on Wednesday, 14 May 2014 11:12
- Hits: 3462
King George Sheriff Steve Dempsey has announced the arrest of a third suspect in the double shooting last month which killed one King George man and badly injured another. Anthony William Goodman, 30, of Upper Marlboro, Md., was arrested by officers late Friday night, Dempsey said.
The gang style shootings, which were apparently drug related, occurred on the evening of April 28, in a rural area of the county. Dempsey said Ronelle Davon Johnson, 20, was found dead outside his residence on Winston Place. A second 20-year-old man, whom authorities would not identify, was also shot and was seriously injured.
Both victims had their hands bound behind their backs with duct tape at the time of the shootings. Dempsey said the ensuing investigation revealed that the shootings were drug-related. Johnson died at the scene and the second victim was taken to Mary Washington Hospital and later transferred to a hospital in Richmond.
Solid police work by the sheriff's office led to two arrests shortly after the shootings. Tennage Michel Shanks, 42, from King George, was arrested in Colonial Beach on May 1. Michael Clinton, 28, from Bladensburg, Md., was arrested on April 30, 2014 by Prince Georges County Maryland Police.
Dempsey's officers had been seeking Goodman and had him under observation when the suspect drove down Route 3 Friday toward the King George Sheriff's Office. "He apparently wanted to turn himself in," said Dempsey. Officers stopped Goodman's vehicle before it reached the sheriff's office and took him into custody without incident.
Goodman was being held without bond in the Rappahannock Regional Jail. Dempsey praised Lt. Monty Cliff for his work on the case. "He has done an outstanding job of leading this investigation," the sheriff said. He also expressed his appreciation to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies for helping King George authorities in the search for Goodman.
Dempsey said Goodman, like Shanks and Clinton, has been charged with first degree murder, attempted murder first degree, malicious wounding, two counts of use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and two counts of abduction. Goodman and Clinton, who have criminal records, have also been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

What is Soapbox Science?
Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women scientists and the science they do. Our events transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate; they follow the format of London Hyde Park's Speaker's Corner, which is historically an arena for public debate. With Soapbox Science, we want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy, learn from, heckle, question, probe, interact with and be inspired by some of our leading scientists. No middle man, no powerpoint slide, no amphitheater – just remarkable women in science who are there to amaze you with their latest discoveries, and to answer the science questions you have been burning to ask. Look out for bat simulators, fake breasts or giant pictures of volcanoes. Or simply hear them talk about what fascinates them, and why they think they have the most fantastic job in the world!
Listen below to our co-founders talking about Soapbox Science, and what to expect at our festival this year
What happened so far?
2015 was an exciting year for us. We ran our 5th annual London event on The SouthBank at the end of May. In addition, we established new events in different cities around the UK, including Exeter, Newcastle and Belfast. This provided opportunities for >90 women in science all over the UK to get on their soapbox and tell the world about their work. Soapbox Science was also commended by the Prime Minister last year.
However, 2016 is even more exciting, with 13 events in the UK and our first Australian event in Brisbane. This year, we are particularly proud to feature our initiative in 5 new cities around the UK, namely Milton Keynes, Hull, Cambridge, Oxford, Reading and Cardiff. For more information on our upcoming events, just have a look here. Soapbox Science was also delighted to be awarded a Silver Medal, from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) on 22 June 2016.
Who are we?
We are Drs Seirian Sumner and Nathalie Pettorelli, the co-organisers of Soapbox Science. We are both research biologists, based in the United Kingdom.
Dr Seirian Sumner – Evolutionary biologist and behavioural ecologist; specialises in social evolution and social behaviour in insects (bees, wasps & ants) http://www.bristol.ac.uk/biology/people/seirian-r-sumner/index.html

(CHATSWORTH, CA) -- You might not think that a video on the history of the ass would be interesting. If you don't, clearly you haven't seen Rosebud's Assficianado, a title scripted and directed by Andre Madness that explores the anal depths of beautiful stars like Monica Sweetheart, Angel Long and Daniella Rush.
After winning an AVN Award for Best Group sex Scene - Video at the 2003 AVN Awards (thanks to Long, Jay Ashley and Pat Myne), the company decided Assficianado was too good to leave at one volume, and commissioned Madness to make it a series.
"I'm happy they want to do more because it's one of my most creative series - it's my cross of History of the World with the Rocky Horror Picture Show meets porn," Madness says. "It's hosted by Frank Bukkwyd, who brings a narrative comic relief adding to the leads of each vignette. The scenes themselves are some of the strongest I've shot. Everyone seems to bring their a game for me with this title."
Company liaison Joey Wilson worked on the first title with Madness and wasn't surprised at the response it got.
"Madness came up with the vignette style and the idea," he says. "It was Andre's storyline and my titling and marketing. We put together a great project, different from everything else Rosebud was doing - the company was focusing on more of a gonzo-style, and Assficianado is more of a story-driven vignette style. There were seven nominations for the title alone, and once we saw that we decided we should definitely do more."
Marc Kramer, the head of production for Pleasure, has high hopes for the future of the series and Madness, and notes that Assficianado 2 is now available.
"We're going to get nominated for number two, and we're about to shoot number three," he says. "Andre Madness is a complete professional. We've been working together for four years and he's come a long way. There's not too many directors that I can count on that will go the extra mile - he's looking at dailies, his productions come in on time and on budget. he's not just there to get a paycheck, he's there to make a good movie. He is very into what he does - he actually cares about what he's doing. And I can't say that about a lot of people."
While Assficianado dealt with the history of anal sex through the ages, Assficianado 2 showcases how anal sex has inspired music over time. What kind of ass history will we see in Assficianado 3?
"I'm working on a script for it now," Madness says. "But whatever the focus, I plan to keep the integrity of the sex strong throughout the series."

Do you get enough Magnesium in your diet? – Magnesium Deficiency
Magnesium deficiency is running rampant nowadays. One study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health shows that 68% of Americans are magnesium deficient.1 Other experts put the number closer 80%.2
Data from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey suggest that substantial numbers of adults in the U.S. don't get even the minimal amounts of magnesium recommended.
Of all the minerals required for good health, calcium has been pushed into the spotlight. There has been a flood of calcium-fortified foods, beverages, and supplements. Ironically, without magnesium, calcium cannot be properly used or absorbed by the body.

I am pulling items from a database table (not wp) and want to display them in a paginated way. The method I used on my old php pages worked well but I'm moving the site to wordpress.
I've created a page template containing the code and have based a page on that template. The page correctly displays the first page of items and the pagination links (previous 1 2 3 next) and they are clickable, but the links don't work (404 error).
I'm not quite sure how to correctly paginate the results so that they work. I've had a look at paginate_links() but don't fully understand how to use it. I can just about find my way around php but am no expert.
Grateful for any help.
Here's the code used to produce the pagination on the old site:
// Make the links to other pages, if necessary.
if ($pages > 1) {
// Add some spacing and start a paragraph:
echo '

';
// Determine what page the script is on:
$current_page = ($start/$display) + 1;
// If it's not the first page, make a Previous button:
if ($current_page != 1) {
echo 'Previous ';
// Make all the numbered pages:
for ($i = 1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {
if ($i != $current_page) {
echo '' . $i . ' ';
} else {
echo $i . ' ';
} // End of FOR loop.
// If it's not the last page, make a Next button:
if ($current_page != $pages) {
echo 'Next';
echo '
'; // Close the paragraph.
} // End of links section.

Greece Net Dramatic Late Winner To Advance
The Journal provides analysis of the final games in Group C at the 2014 World Cup, featuring Japan vs. Colombia and Greece vs. Ivory Coast. Commentary is provided by Joe E. Melvin, with contributions from the WSJ team across the globe.
Japan versus Colombia: It's do-or-die for the Samurai Blue in Cuiaba, a formality for the South Americans. And even if they do, Japan could still die at this World Cup.
Up against it, needing to beat a fast, probing Colombian side that has comfortably beaten the other teams in the Group C, Japan will have to improve if they are to progress to the next round. But the last group games in the World Cup can produce some surprising results. That's typically the case when one team is safely through to the last 16, while its underdog opponent must pull out all the stops–exactly the situation we have here.
But here's the issue – Japan has only scored once at this World Cup and wasn't able to score against 10-man Greece in their last game, so the odds aren't really in their favor.
Colombia's Argentinian coach Jose Pekerman has hinted that he might rest some of his players in the game. The usual rationale is to conserve energy, avoid injury to key figures in the side and give players on the fringe of the team some experience.
Should he keep star midfielder James Rodriguez, right winger Juan Cuadrado and striker Teofilo Gutierrez on the bench, the veteran coach will clearly be playing the stroll-through-the-park card.
But even if Los Cafeteros field their strongest team, Japan's Italian coach Alberto Zaccheroni says his boys in blue can beat the very best in the world if they play to their potential. Since group leader Colombia is ranked No. 8 in the world compared with Japan's 46th placing, that's just what Zaccheroni's men will need to do.
That means more penetration from Japan's star players including Manchester United's Shinji Kagawa and Bundesliga striker Shinji Okazaki, and better finishing in front of goal from Yoshito Okubo.
The attack-minded approach of Zaccheroni may be expecting too much of his players at this level, but there's still one more chance for the Japan team to prove critics wrong and redeem itself. This after all is a side that brushed aside Costa Rica–one of the overperformers of the tournament so far–just a couple of weeks ago.
If there is a gulf in talent between the two teams, remember that Keisuke Honda, Japan's standout forward, has no time for talk of genius, it's hard work that achieves your dreams, he says, channeling Japan's hard work ethic.
Honda does believe in is miracles, though. Japan needs a victory against Colombia and a favorable result from the Ivory Coast-Greece game to get through–that would be a miracle, he says, but it's one they can achieve. Miracle seems too strong a word as success for Japan is well within the realm of possibility.
That said, the most likely outcome is a team celebration of salsa dancing as the Colombians sweep through the group with three wins while the Samurai Blue head for the airport and early flights back to Tokyo.
Greece: Karnezis, Maniatis, Manolas, Samaras, Kone, Karagounis (c), Salpingidis, Torosidis, Lazaros, Sokratis, Cholevas
Ivory Coast: Barry, Boka, K Toure, Kalou, Tiote, Gervinho, Drogba (c), Aurier, Y Toure, Serey, Bamba
Colombia will top the group with a win or tie, but they are guaranteed to advance.
Japan and Greece both have to win to have any chance of advancing.
Greece would have to win to advance and they have yet to score in the tournament yet.
Japan need to win and hope that Ivory Coast don't get anything. If Ivory Coast tie with Greece, Japan would need to win by 2.
Clear….I hope so.
Japan: Kawashima, Uchida, Honda, Nagatomo, Okazaki, Kagawa, Okubo, Aoyama, Konno, Hasebe (C), Yoshida
Colombia: Ospina (c), Arias, Armero, Cuadrado, Guarin, Mejia, Balanta, Ramos, Quintero, Martinez, Valdes
In case you missed it earlier, Uruguay advanced, but Luis Suarez got a little hungry again during the game.
Costa Rica and Uruguay into the last 16, Italy and England are out.
Colombia's coach Jose Pekerman rings the changes, swapping eight of his starting members. Key players rested include star left midfielder James Rodriguez and striker Teofilo Gutierrez. That's good news for the Japan side.
If you thought the Uruguay-Italy match was a display of defensive posturing, you ain't seen nothing yet. Greece is best known for parking the bus on its way to a European championship in 2004. Perhaps that's why Ivory Coast manager Sabri Lamouchi is inserting into his starting 11 the Elephants' star, Didier Drogba, after coming off the bench against Colombia and Japan. On the other end of the pitch, Ivory Coast will be missing Didier Zokora after yellow-card accumulation.
We're 5 minutes away from the final games in Group C.
I love the anthems. All of them are great and fans/players alike are so into it.
Colombia already through to the last 16 – their first visit to the knockout stages since 1990.
For his part, Alberto Zaccheroni puts Shinji Okazaki up front as the one-top striker. Japan's front position player has been consistently anonymous in the first two games with Yuya Osako failing to make much of an impression, despite a bright opening 10 minutes against Greece. Bringing Okazaki from the right-hand side to the central attacking position, may help give Japan more penetration up front and galvanize the Bundesliga striker to perform better.
As for Japan, Zaccheroni is going back to Kagawa instead of starting Osako, who provided a spark in the first half of Japan's match against Greece. Kagawa, who plays for Manchester United, has been a mystery man so far, though he looked better after coming off the bench against Greece than he did against Ivory Coast.
0-0, 1st minute
Here we go – it's the last game for some of these players, but just another step for others.
0-0, 2nd minute
Japan need to create chances. Colombia don't have much to play for. It's all about Japan going forward.
0-0, 2nd minute
Ivory Coast boasts a fine team on paper with some respectable but aging players. They'er a bit timid on the aerial game but Kolo Toure will make sure they're all on the same page today. One thing of note: all of the Elephants' goals have come from open play.
0-0, 3rd minute
Zaccheroni has also benched Hotaru Yamaguchi in favor of Sanfrecce Hiroshima left midfielder Toshihiro Aoyama.
0-0, 3rd minute
Ivory Coast players are wearing black armbands in memory of Oyala Ibrahim Touré, the brother of Yaya and Kolo, who died on Thursday aged 28 after a battle with cancer
0-0, 3rd minute
And Aoyama makes an important block against Quintero in the opening attack by Colombia.
0-0, 4th minute
Colombia applying the early pressure.
0-0, 4th minute
Aoyama, in the starting line up, receives loudest cheer at the public viewing in Tokyo.
0-0, 5th minute
It's all Colombia so far, as the subs seem to want to prove they can play the same pretty, quick-passing game that the starters did in getting them here.

0-0, 6th minute
Honda has first free kick close to the penalty area, but slams ball into the Colombian wall.
0-0, 9th minute
Okubu has a half chance – good run in behind, but he couldn't get a clean shot off.
0-0, 10th minute
Japan on top at the moment. They have to score when they are dominating if they are to advance.
0-0, 10th minute
Greeks are moving the ball well but after Ivory Coast regain possession, Drogba plays a delicious flick to a sprinting Gervinho, who loses the ball that goes out for a harmless goal kick.
0-0, 10th minute
One of Japan's problems against Greece was an inability to finish off good chances in front of the goal, and it started out the way it left off there, with Okubo sending the ball in nicely to Kagawa, who got tangled up and missed. It does look like Japan is going to get some chances in what is starting out as free-flowing match.
0-0, 12th minute
Looks like Kone comes off injured for Greece and is replaced by Andreas Samaris.
0-0, 12th minute
No 8 for Greece, Kone, limps off with what looks like a hamstring problem, and is replaced by Samaris. A very early replacement.
0-0, 13th minute
Drogba and Yaya Toure linking up well and Toure serves up a ball into the area but Greece keeper snatches it from Drogba, who was ready to pounce on it.
0-0, 15th minute
Now it's the Africans dictating proceedings but their attacks are thwarted by the Greek backline. Gervinho once again gets a chance but mishits it out of play.
0-0, 15th minute
Penalty to Colombia…
1-0 Colombia, 17th minute
1-0 Colombia – Cuadrado from the penalty spot.
1-0 Colombia, 16th minute
Crowd moans at the penalty foul, but quickly chants Kawashima!
1-0 COlombia, 16th minute
Penalty hammered home into the center of the goal.
1-0 COlombia, 17th minute
Crowd goes dead silent at Tokyo viewing as Colombia takes the lead.
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 18th minute
What's going on with Greece? The Greek keeper Karnezis removes his gloves and motions for medical staff to come over and take a look at his back. The Greek netminder already has had some work to do but two subs this early—especially for a keeper–won't bode well for the Greek side.
1-0 Colombia, 18th minute
The Colombian side was already delighted that Konno was selected, since his short stature gives the South Americans a height advantage. Now they have another reason to delight at his place in the starting lineup.
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 19th minute
Play stopped again in the Ivory Coast match, after a foul to the Greek goalkeeper Karnezis. The substitute is warming up but it seems he won't be needed – at least not yet. It's been a physical start to the game in Fortaleza, the referee might have to start reaching into his pocket if this continues.
1-0 Colombia, 20th minute
Hard to imagine a worse start for Japan. Konno looked like he was going for the ball there, but his tackle was really clumsy and it's hard to argue with the penalty. How will Japan respond?
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 20th minute
Karnezis gets back to business but that will be something to watch. Ivory Coast already smelling blood; Drogba doing well to control play but Gervinho needs to start capitalizing as he's lost a couple of balls already.
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 21st minute
The three-pronged attack of Drogba, Kalou and Gervinho with Yaya Toure drifting in behind has caused Greece some problems early on, but their final ball has let them down. Greece has taken advantage of some sloppy play in the middle of the field by the Ivorians, but they've lacked the clinical touch in the final third. There's been a few stoppages too, and that's taken all the zip out of the game.

0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 22nd minute
Drogba nearly clean through on goal as the Greek defense opens up welcomingly. But Yaya Toure's pass was slightly too much and Drogba can't quite get to it.
1-0 Colombia, 25th minute
Free kick for Japan: Honda blasts the wall again. The Colombian media have largely focused on the danger presented by Honda and his relationship with fellow AC Milan player Cristian Zapata.
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 25th minute
It's all too much for Karnezis. He goes off, and substitute goalkeeper Panagiotis Glikos comes on. What a moment for the PAOK FC goalkeeper.
1-0 Colombia, 26th minute
Martinez wanted a second penality, but the referee is not in a generous mood. Anyway, the tackle started outside the box. Full credit to Colombia for coming to play. It could have sat this one out.
1-0 Colombia, 26th minute
Kagawa gets into space into on the edge of the penalty area, but his shot lacks power.
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 28th minute
This is probably the most aggressive that Greece has ever been in a World Cup. They need the win. They're challenging well in the midfield. Yet they're finding it hard to get into the final third of the pitch to threaten the Ivorian goal.
1-0 Colombia, 29th minute
Six Japan players in the Colombian penalty area, testimony to the team's desperation to turn this around with a goal. But none can make a clear chance.
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 29th minute
Something of note: Karnezis's understudy Panagiotis Glykos was taken to the hospital recently for an eye inflammation and was taken out of training for several days. Two subs this early on has to be on the mind of the Greek players as the game wears on in the heat. Will have to suck it up!
1-0 Colombia, 31st minute
Free-kick to Japan on the edge of the box. Great chance…
1-0 Colombia, 31st minute
Early FIFA stats for the game show Japan has had 62% possession and eight shots on goal compared with Colombia's sole effort. The difference between the teams is that the Colombian strike was a goal…
1-0 Colombia, 31st minute
Honda puts the free-kick just wide. Good effort though.

1-0 Colombia, 36th minute
The yellow shirts in the crowd — the Brazil jerseys, that is, who seem to outnumber the canary-shirted Colombia supporters — have started the wave. They're enjoying this more than their own team's matches, it seems.
1-0 Colombia, 36th minute
Uchida forges down the right hand side and crosses to Okubo who tries a spectacular overhead bicycle kick. But the J.League scoring ace rockets the shot over the crossbar.
1-0 Colombia, 39th minute
Good chance for Kagawa,
Japan are playing well, but they need to take their chances. Time is running out.
1-0 COlombia, 41st minute
Colombia should be 2-0 up. Ramos sets up Martinez and he puts it wide from 15 yards out.
Really good chance, maybe the luck Japan needs.
0-0 Greece/Ivory Coast, 41st minute
It should come as little surprise that the first big chance of this game came from Greece hitting Ivory Coast on the counter-attack. That should serve as a reminder to Drogba and co. that the longer it stays goalless, the greater the chance Greece could nick one. The Ivorians have been dinking the ball around but they're not finding any clear openings. Greece, as you might expect, are difficult to break down.
1-0 Colombia, 42nd minute
Okubo and Kagawa are combining nicely on the left for Japan but can't seem to get any clear shots. Japan doesn't look like a beaten team yet, though they are looking vulnerable to Colombian counterattacks as they push forward.
1-0 Greece, 42nd minute
1-0 Greece.
Samaris pounces on a gifted pass and nets it past Barry.
Ivory Coast loses the ball in midfield and Samaris doesn't hesitate, powering through on goal and slotting past the goalkeeper. Greece scores its first goal of the World Cup!
Loud cheers at the public viewing in Tokyo as broadcast shows Greece leading Ivory Coast in the other match.
1-1, Colombia/Japan, 45th minute
1-1 – Japan tie it up right on the stroke of halftime. Okazaki levels it up.
1-1 Colombia/Japan, 45th minute
Okazaki scores with a trademark diving header, the kind he has spent his whole career practicing. Japan on level terms and with everything to play for.
1-0 Greece, 45th minute
Yaya Toure, on the other end, has a chance to equalize inside of the area but Greek defenders hurriedly back in numbers to stop his shot. Also, in this heat, will Drogba's 36-year-old's legs last?
Halftime in the Colombia v Japan game, but a few minutes injury time still to go in the Greece v Ivory Coast game.
A goal each is the very least Japan deserve from a first half they have dominated. Should Greece hold on against Ivory Coast, Japan just needs one more goal to reach the knockout stage.
As the U.S. knows, a lot can change in a soccer match in a few seconds. And here we have a similar turnabout. A minute ago, Japan was out of this. Now their goal, and Greece's, has given them a real chance to advance as the half ends.
A manic first half comes to an end in Fortaleza, with opportunities at both ends. But Greece are on top with that lovely strike by Samaris.

— Jun Hongo (@junhongoWSJ) June 24, 2014
It might not be pretty, but Greece's game plan is working. They've been well organized at the back, and thanks partly to the Ivorians fluffing their lines, they've not looked like conceding. Then one sniff of goal for Greece (or two, if you count the one that crashed back off the bar) and they have the lead. Greece will be even more difficult to break down now; the Ivorians are 45 minutes away from another group stage exit.
The Japan-Colombia game remains poised to go either way. While Japan has had most of the ball, the team has had difficulty creating clear cut chances. Meanwhile, Colombia looks dangerous on the counter. The South Americans don't need to press for victory, so this pattern is likely to continue in the second half until the Samurai Blue start to tire. So Japan must make it count with another goal early in the first half.
Still, Japan fans may have sensed the possibility of something special happening when they saw the Colombian starting lineup. Jose Pekerman rested star players Rodriguez and Gutierrez and veteran defender Mario Yepes. At the same time, Zaccheroni tried to solve his attacking conundrum by placing Okazaki upfront—a decision that seems to have paid off with a goal. Also the inclusion of Aoyama in midfield has helped the Samurai Blue build more attacking moves.
For a spectacular success, Japan needs another goal and for Greece to hold on.
After Japan lacked finishing punch in its first two and a half games, Okazaki has produced a header worthy of France's Olivier Giroud, the Netherlands' Robin Van Persie or, yes, the USA's John Brooks the other day.

— Jun Hongo (@junhongoWSJ) June 24, 2014
The players are back out.
Japan needs to win and hope Greece holds on for a 1-0 win.
Greece are through if results stand.
Ivory Coast can advance if they tie the game.
I'm missing something, but we'll know much more in 45 minutes.
1-1 Colombia/Japan, 46th minute
Starting Aoyama, in his first appearance in this World Cup, looks like a smart move by Zaccheroni. He has helped Japan keep possession in midfield, which was a big problem in the first two games. He hasn't produced anything as spectacular as this …
If you thought the goal was nice, how about that celebration?
46th minute
We're underway again in both games, all to play for.
1-1 Colombia/Japan, 47th minute
Danger! Pekerman makes two changes at halftime to show his intent to change the dynamic of this game. Penalty scorer Cuadrado comes off, replaced by River Plate midfielder Carlos Carbonero. But the key move is James Rodriguez comes on for Quintero. The Cafeteros aren't going to cut Japan any slack now…
1-0 Greece, 48th minute
Drogba commits a foul on the keeper as Ivory Coast look for an equalizer.
Then more good build-up by the Ivorians which leads to a firm mid-range shot by Tiote – but it's straight at the Greek goalkeeper, Glykos.
The pressure is building.
1-1 Colombia/Japan, 49th minute
My understanding is that if Ivory Coast tie things up against Greece, Japan will need to beat Colombia by two goals to go through to the last 16 on goal difference. Correct me if I'm wrong.
(Nope, you're right – JM)
1-0 Greece, 49th minute
The story of Gervinho so far tonight — as for much of his career at Arsenal — he bursts with power and speed into the Greece box but then can't do much else, and the attack peters out.
1-1 Colombia/Japan, 51st minute
Colombia are on top. Japan needs to weather the storm a little before going for that winner.
1-1 Colombia/Japan, 53rd minute
Imagine how good Colombia would be if Falcao was fit.
They are going to be tough to beat in the knockout stages.
2-1 Colombia, 54th minute
2-1 Colombia, Jackson Martinez – it was coming
1-0 Greece, 54th minute
The Ivorians come out more livelier as Yaya Toure's center into the area is cleared but more exciting sequences from the desperate Africans should make for a memorable second half.
2-1 Colombia, 54th minute
Martinez scores from a perfectly weighted pass from Rodriguez in the penalty area.
2-1 Colombia, 56th minute
Lots to do for Japan now if they are to advance.
Colombia cam e out on fire and deserve to be on top. The inclusion of Colombia's sensational young midfielder Rodriguez has already made a dramatic impact on the game.
1-0 Greece, 56th minute
A beautiful move sees a pass to Drogba, who then clips a delightful ball through to Kalou who made a run into the penalty box, but the Greek defender just beats him to it, and knocks the ball out of a corner. Nothing comes of that and the ball is back with Ivory Coast in the midfield.
2-1 Colombia, 57th minute
Rodriguez wasted no time in making his mark there, drawing two defenders then unloading it to an open Martinez. Perfect pass, perfect finish into the corner.
1-0 Greece, 58th minute
Salpingidis fires a superb shot in from the right, just outside the box, but Barry is equal to the task with a brilliant save to send the ball out for a corner.
2-1 Colombia, 58th minute
Japan isn't giving up. Kagawa had a good chance a minute ago, and now Okubo just misses with a headed cross. This is the best attacking that Japan has done in the tournament so far.
2-1 Colombia, 59th minute
Okubo battles with Armero in front of goal to head the ball, but is ultimately thwarted.
1-0 Greece, 59th minute
The game is being played at a much higher tempo in this second half. Ivory Coast is knocking on the door, but Greece is well versed in the heroic art of packing 10 men behind the ball and not affording the opposition any space. Greece still looks dangerous going forward on the break too.
2-1 Colombia, 61st minute
A solid elbow into Okazaki's face from Balanta.
2-1 Colombia, 61st minute
Zaccheroni tries to freshen up his midfield by replacing Aoyama with Yamaguchi.
1-0 Greece, 62nd minute
Ivory Coast have plenty of possession now, but cannot break down this Greek defense, which have parked the bus. A dangerous cross in is cleared by the Greeks for a corner.
Before the corner is taken, Tiote is taken off, Bony comes on on.
2-1 Colombia, 63rd minute
Yellow card for a Guarin foul produces a free kick chance just outside the left-hand side of the penalty area.
1-0 Greece, 64th minute
Greece clear the corner and break quickly, but Kalou brings down the Torosidis and is booked. Could have been a red card as Kalou was the last man, but Torosidis had turned away from goal so yellow is probably fair.
2-1 Colombia, 64th minute
Honda on target with a powerful dipping free kick but safely parried by Ospina.
2-1 Colombia, 65th minute
Okubo misses a peach of a chance right in front of goal after another marauding run by Uchida down the right flank.
2-1 Colombia, 66th minute
Okubo falls in the penalty, again pressured by Balanta, but there's little apparent contact and the referee is unimpressed, waving play on.
1-0 Greece, 66th minute
Kalou takes on two defenders as he seeks a way through and then takes a shot that curls in towards the top right corner, but not quite enough. Goal kick.
67th minute
25 minutes plus stoppage time left.
As it stands, Colombia and Greece will advance to the last 16.
1-0 Greece, 68th minute
Greece again break at pace after a Ivory Coast attempt, and Karagoumis fires in a long-distance shot that crashes off the crossbar.
2-1 Colombia, 69th minute
Japan have played well, but Colombia have had that little touch of class when they needed it. Japan's stars haven't really been at their best – I expected more form Kagawa and Honda.
2-1 Colombia, 69th minute
Regardless of what happens in this match, Colombia is looking like a team that could go far in this tournament. Unlike previous Colombia campaigns, it has avoided the self-destruct button and Rodriguez provides some real creativity.
2-1 Colombia, 70th minute
Okazaki's nose has stopped bleeding after kissing bone with Balanta's elbow, but he is replaced with Cerezo Osaka forward Yoichiro Kakitani all the same.
1-0 Greece, 70th minute
Here come the Greeks again. Cholevas storms through the midfield and is eventually dispossessed, but the referee had already seen a foul by Serey Die and brings play back for a dangerous free kick. Lazarus' shoots just over the crossbar.
1-0 Greece, 71st minute
Have you got the pattern yet? Ivory Coast patiently work the ball forward, try something out but without much venom, they lose possession and then the Greeks break at pace — often dangerously. Ivory Coast living on the edge here.
2-1 Colombia, 72nd minute
Japan needs goals and it needs one right now. The players are starting to look drained and Colombia is tightening its grip on the game.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 73rd minute
1-1 Bony ties it up for the Ivory Coast.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 75th minute
All change – Ivory Coast are second in the group with 15 minutes left. Is there another twist to come?
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 75th minute
Patience is rewarded! Gervinho gets the ball out on the left with acres of space and puts a delightful low cross into the path of Bony, who clinically puts the ball past Glikos.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 75th minute
It was a matter of time that the rejuvenated Gervinho would provide a service into the area as he was looking like he was in an Arsenal kit in the first half but the current Roma man lays out a perfect ball to Bony, who made sure not to miss near the goalmouth.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 75th minute
It's the subs making the headlines in Fortaleza – first Samaris for Greece and now Bony for Ivory Coast.
2-1 Colombia, 76th minute
Nagatomo drills one toward the left hand corner, but Ospina makes another comfortable save.
2-1 Colombia, 76th minute
Japan's defenders are coming forward for some long-range shots from outside the penalty area. First Konno, now Nagatomo. Unfortunately for Japan, they're shooting right to the keeper.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 76th minute
Greece was mopping up everything that Ivory Coast chucked at them – and even looked most like scoring themselves on the counter-attack – and then in a flash Greece's defense loses its shape and the Ivorians find a gap in behind. You know the rest. Now Greece is on the verge of elimination. Gripping stuff.
79th minute
With the Ivory Coast equalizer, things are looking very tough now for Japan. If making it to the last 16 didn't require a miracle before, it does now.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 79th minute
Didier Drogba, the striker, goes off, and Diomandé, a midfielder comes on. Ivorian coach happy to play for a draw?
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 80th minute
Torosidis puts in a cross from the right — and it hits the Ivory Coast near post!! That must have given Barry a nasty shock.
3-1 Colombia, 81st minute
3-1 Colombia. Jackson Martinez again. It's all over for Japan.
82nd minute
With Japan almost certainly out, it's down to Greece to try and force their way into the last 16. About 8 minutes left.
3-1 Colombia, 83rd minute
It's surely all over now. As Martinez scores again after neatly turning around Uchida. There's no salsa dancing celebration though.
3-1 Colombia, 83rd minute
Third goal for Colombia means pretty much game over for Japan. Some at the public viewing in Tokyo head out for a cigarette.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 85th minute
Ivory Coast break again and get the ball to Kalou out on the left, who turns toward goal and has a pop, but it bounces off a Greek knee for a corner.
3-1 Colombia, 85th minute
Now a cute moment for the World Cup. With the result now secure, 43-year old Colombian goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon comes on to become the oldest player ever in the tournament, beating the record of Cameroon's Roger Milla.
87th minute
So it looks like Colombia v Uruguay and Costa Rica against Ivory Coast in the last 16. Unless….
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 88th minute
Salpingidis breaks through on the right and fires a low ball across the goal mouth, one yard out. There were no Greek attackers there to knock it in –but three Ivorian defenders had to pull all sort of contortions to avoid putting the ball in the back of their own net. Could easily have been an own goal.
4-1 Colombia, 90th minute
4-1 Colombia.
1-1 Greece/Ivory Coast, 91st minute
Penalty to Greece in the 91st minute!!
4-1 Colombia, 91st minute
4-1 as Rodriguez seals the deal, running rings around Yoshida and chipping keeper Kawashima. Will Rodriguez and crew dance to "Que Le Pongan Salsa" by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico?
2-1 Greece, 91st minute
2-1 Greece – looks like they will play Costa Rica in the next round!
2-1 Greece, 92nd minute
Samaras is brought down in the box by Sio just as he was about to fir a shot at goal, and referee has no hesitation pointing to the spot. What was Sio doing? Samaras holds his nerve to score from the spot.
Both games are over – unbelievably Greece are through to the last 16.
2-1 Greece, Fulltime
There's barely time to restart and the referee blows the whistle. Greek players jubilant – Ivory Coast cannot believe it. What a finish!
What drama at the end of this match. This is why we love the game. Ivory Coast, seconds away from progressing, throw it away. The Ivorians look completely stunned. They had a chance themselves moments before to finish the game off. Those are the margins. Greece vs Costa Rica in the last 16. Who'd have predicted that two weeks ago?
2-1 Greece, Fulltime
A tale of two Sams – Samaris and Samaras.
Greece took the lead in a first half as Ivory Coast struggled to get into the game. The Greeks were forced into two early substitutions due to injury, but it was one of those, Samaris who got the crucial breakthrough to give the Greeks a deserved lead at half-time.
Ivory Coast came to life in the second half, but struggled to break through the Greek defense, which was able to counterattack with danger. But Ivory Coast finally found a way through via their own substitute, Bony, and the game moved into fever pitch.
A draw would be enough for Ivory Coast to progress. Both teams had opportunities to score a winner, but it eventually, it was the other Sam who was upended in the penalty box in the dying seconds. Samaras himself stepped up to take the penalty kick and send Greece into the second round, and Greeks everywhere into a frenzy.
4-1 Colombia, Fulltime
A comprehensive victory for Colombia, an exciting team that looks set to go far in this tournament after a long absence from the World Cup. The team has a great crop of young players—the cameo by 43-year-old keeper Mondragon notwithstanding. Japan did its utmost to make things happen and after a late first half goal by Okazaki the Samurai Blue were at that point just a goal away from making the last 16 after dominating possession.
But Colombia's wily Argentinian coach Jose Pekerman decided this was not the way he wanted Colombia to finish the group stage and brought on star forward James Rodriguez at halftime. The substitution transformed the complexion of the game with the South Americans now looking comfortable in defense and more threatening in attack. As Japan tired, Colombia took complete control of the game and by the end the team looked like scoring on every attack as the gulf in class began to show.
This wasn't Colombia's best performance, but there was plenty to suggest they could go further than the last 16 for the country's best-ever performance in a World Cup.
For Japan, it's time for reflection and rebuilding. Japan's talismanic forward Keisuke Honda summed it up: "I said we could even win (the World Cup). But this is the reality."

Another big chunk of money should be coming from the state to Snohomish County school districts for energy-related projects.
Four school districts received word that they can expect a combined $3.69 million in the second round of funding from the state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The grant-winning districts are:
Northshore, which will use $2.78 million on two separate heating and cooling system projects.
Stanwood-Camano, which will use $664,000 for work on lighting and a heating and cooling system.
Sultan, which will use $224,890 for water conservation and lighting.
Marysville, which will use $28,265 on lighting.
Statewide, 27 districts received money from a pool of $27.8 million in this round of funding.
The state superintendent's office plans to ultimately dole out $50 million within a year for energy projects. The money was set aside by the Legislature.
The first round of grants was awarded in July, with Snohomish County schools then receiving $6.43 million.
The third round of funding will be awarded sometime after Oct. 22, the deadline to submit applications for the final batch of competitive grants.

Just the other day I recieved an e-mail from RJM acquisitions stating that they bought debt (failed payment) from Guthy-Renker in the amount of $49.95.
In the e-mail it clearly states that the failed payment was from 2009, today is March 21 2013. O.k., so you see where I'm coming from? How can I argue my case against the debt when the case is long closed and resolved. At least it was in my opinion.
Trying very hard to recall, I remember something about their free trial service. I periodically made payments that came very few months or so. In turn these paid into a shipment quarterly. I made faithful payments, and not 1 problem occurred until I tried to cancel. When I did try to cancel they tried to make sure this would not open. First the lady on the phone suggested that I could not cancel now because I already made 1 of 3 of payments for the new shipment. She said If I cancelled now, the $30 or so that was paid in would be non-refundable. So I suggested I pay the balance and receive the last shipment. This is what I did, account closed. And from then on I continued to buy the product from the mail-kiosks so that I could better manage my supply.
Yet here we are, 4 years down the line, and somehow Guthy-Renker manages to sell NON-EXISTENT DEBT!
Even if you like Pro-Activ like I do, NEVER buy from them online. Your personal information will never be safe from that day on.

So I followed all instructions, submitted pictures online and waited for them to contact me, I receveivd a call from a cell phone leaving a message saying repair is scheduled for a date to call a different number to confirm, when i called it was another persons cell phone, which when he answered it wasnt professional and i thought i had wrong number.
Finally the day came, tech came to my home on time, as soon as he seen damage of a small tear on side of leather chair, he stated oh i cant fix that, per your plan since we cannot repair we should be able to replace. I questioned why he couldnt repair considering i took the required pictures and his reaction was like he never seen them? he didnt respond, took pictures him self & said the company will contact me via phone. about 1 week later i get a letter from Guardsman just saying that they are not able to replace or fix for "other reasons" (not indicated!) that it is not covered by the elite. So I call, to then further inquire with a manager name Elba which I was advised that the leather was "wrinkled" which is why its not covered and that if i would have read my protection plan i would have known that! which i advised its a chair, if leather is to rip its going to wrinkle because of where the rip is being is a seat. She didnt want to hear it, as well as corrected me that this is not a Warranty, it is a protection plan! She was basically useless, not giving any other alternative, I ended the call stating i refuse to waste any more of my time, considering the process of their handling of claims for this so called protection plan is a scam, i had to take the day off of work, because they give you window appts like the cable company. my next option is to now contact ashley furniture to seek some sort of reimbursement and or replacement on their charge because of this false warranty/protection plan what ever they consider it, apparently it was sold to us giving us misinformation of this product.

The halftone dot font shapes are in TTF for use on the PC and MAC. On the PC, drag the TTF file to the control panel on the PC (this can be found via the search feature in Windows 10 as well as 8.1 and 8 etc) or via the start menu in earlier versions of Windows. Once loaded into the control panel, the set is then available for use in a variety of apps such as PSP, Word, Photoshop etc. On the PC, You can also right click the TTF and select the open or open with (depends on the file assocations as these may have changed and the TTF may be connected to Photoshop or something else - I have seen that happen too many times with my Windows OS) and you should be able to see the viewer app. You can then click the install option or print (have to say, a fairly limited command set). You will have to enter your admin account details.
On the MAC, double click the TTF file or right click the file and select the open command or open with and that should be the fontbook application. You will then see the FB app (found in the applications folder of MAC OS X) and click the install button. The set is then added to the user (if that is the preference set in the preferences section) or you can add it to the computer section which will require the admin account details. If you have set the correct preference for user (or computer, if admin enabled) then you can also select TTF files from a folder and drag them into the FB app and they will be instantly validated. You can drag one or multiple files which makes it fairly quick if you have a load of packs to load all at once. Of course, you can also then go into the app and disable or remove them as required (personally, the disable option is better as it means you don't have to re-load them at some future date).
There are also a number of excellent apps out there that can be used to control and manipulate all the TTF etc files.
You may find the dot fonts of interest and use, you can use them in PS and PS Elements and PSP and 3D apps and many more
The set also includes the files in EPS as well as TTF. The one thing about the EPS, you don't need to load them from a particular folder. It is probably best to add the EPS files to a user account folder (unless you want to access them in a multi user environment or from a network). Perhaps the documents folder ? or as in my case, a Projects folder. You can then load them into Photoshop, PSP etc via the open and / or place command. You can also add them into the CC library and that will make it a lot easier to access the set at any point instead of having to search for the file set
There are many different tutorials available on the web, you can find all our video tutorials via the graphicxtras channel on Youtube.com as well as via tipdesk.com (there is also a small selection on vimeo.com). You can find out how to load the eps files, how to change the spots, how to edit them, how to warp the artworks, how to use them with different blending modes such as darken and difference and lighten etc, how to use them in Painter 2016, how to use them as a great source for amazing brush strokes as well as awesome pattern tiles and much more. Any questions, please let us know
You can add the type artworks via the keyboard by using the type tool, add the characters by typing A B C etc on the keyboard - you are supplied with a PDF document that gives a complete display of all the characters included and which keyboard characters they relate to. Of course, it is even easier if all the artworks are displayed in front of you and that is where the glyph panel comes in as you can quickly see all the artworks and scroll back and forth as well as re-size the vectors via the glyph panel. To display the glyph panel, go to the type panel and then panels and glyphs. Use by selecting the type tool and adding a text selection to the document and then set the color as well as typeface and size and then double click the glyph cell. You can repeat this as many times as you wish (it is a pity there is no feature to add 1000s of characters in one go by the side menu)
