It takes a week for Castiel to heal and when he does, he's not happy. He slumps into depression – he's stuck as a human, he won't ever be an angel and he's almost unreachable. It kills Dean to see him, so blank and broken.
They're still running.
It's not often something gets to them, but when it does, they're an unstoppable team. Cas fights them off with inhuman strength, Dean stands by his side and Sam's got their backs.
A month later and Cas is back on his feet. Dean and Sam just wake up one morning to see him dressed – always in his trenchcoat – and his face is bright and alive. That's when Dean touches him for the first time in what seems like forever, pulls him into a hard hug that's long overdue.
Sam comes over to hug him too, tight and strong. It surprises Cas, but he melts into Sam like a lost child finally finding his way back to his mother in the park. Dean's eyes actually water a little, but he tells himself he's not about to cry. He's a man, damn it.
Cas's obsession with romance movies continues. He has a small collection of his favourites that he carries with him and Dean still pretends that it annoys him. But it doesn't. He smiles in amusement whenever he sees Cas's small bag in the back of the Impala.
They get two rooms now. Sam's insistent on it and Dean just thinks he's being stupid, though the tension in the room between him and Cas is indescribable when they're alone. Two months after Cas almost died, he cracks. There's a lot of clattering, items strewn across the floor, colliding into walls and mindless thrusting. Groans, grunts, Cas's head tipped back, sweat slicked to their chests, open-mouthed kisses, sticky hands, skin against skin and frantic hands.
When Cas orgasms, it's like the world around him is shattering. It's the most beautiful thing Dean's ever seen, next to the Grace that still hangs around his neck, even when they're fucking each other. Throat exposed, brow creased with pleasure, mouth open in a silent scream and hands spread wide, clawing at the bed sheets. It's what sends Dean to completion.
It's at the most inconvenient moment when it hits Dean. They're finishing off a demon down a deserted alleyway, in the rain, and Cas slits its throat. His arm swings his body around with force and Dean's momentarily stunned when – almost in slow motion – Cas turns, droplets falling from his hair, arm poised and blue eyes fiery and bright.
It's that moment when Dean realises he's in love.
Castiel knows that he loves Dean the moment he comes back to the motel room with Dirty Dancing on DVD.
That's how life is for them now. Who knows how long it'll last – the Winchesters were never meant to have a perfect life, but it's when they're sitting – the three of them – at a roadside café, Sam stealing Cas's fries, that Dean finally realises.
This is good as it's gonna get.

By IVES GALARCEP
When Jozy Altidore slalomed through RKC Waalwijk's defense on his way to his eighth, and most beautiful goal, of the season on Sunday, the goal left many U.S. fans wondering when he will start scoring goals like that for the U.S. national team. His current goal rut stands at just one goal in his past 13 national team appearances, a stretch of more than 15 months that has led to understandable concerns about when his production for the U.S. will kick in.
That drought is also why it seems many have forgotten that, for all the struggles of the past year, Altidore actually has scored goals for the national team before. He has scored 13 to be precise, a total that has him in a tie for tenth place in the all-time career scoring list. When you consider that Altidore is still just 22, the 13-goal total is actually pretty impressive.
How many American players have scored more goals before the age of 23 than Altidore? Five? Ten? Nope. Just one. Landon Donovan, who scored 19 goals before he turned 23.
So Altidore, the player who seems like he never scores for the national team, actually has more national team goals before the age of 23 than any player in U.S. national team history not named Landon Donovan.
He just hasn't scored many of those goals lately (and hasn't scored a national team goal in ten months).
A closer look at the U.S. national team's all-times scoring leaders, and their production before the age of 23, helps puts Altidore early production into some interesting perspective. The next person on the list of leading scorers before the age of 23 is Eric Wynalda (11), followed by Eddie Johnson (nine) and a three-way tie between Joe-Max Moore, DaMarcus Beasley and Michael Bradley (all with eight).
How many national team goals did Clint Dempsey score before turning 23? Try four. Cobi Jones? Just two. Bruce Murray? He managed one. And Brian McBride? He didn't score his first national team goal until he was 24.
This isn't to suggest that there isn't a cause for concern about the fact that Altidore has just one goal in 12 matches under Jurgen Klinsmann, and has yet to score in 2012 for the USA. He does need to start producing more. The point is to remind people that Altidore has scored goals for the national team before. He has scored important goals. He has scored in the Gold Cup, in the Confederations Cup, on the road in CONCACAF qualifying, and he's also scored against Mexico (in his first national team start no less).
Unfortunately for Altidore and the national team, most of those goals came two, three and four years ago. What Altidore has not done is score for the USA lately, and, until he recaptures that scoring touch, the questions will persist. In the fickle world of international soccer, the only thing that matters is what you have done lately, and the dozen national team goals Altidore scored before Klinsmann's arrival are becoming a distant memory.
As impressive as he has been in the Dutch League, and as clear as it is that he is improving as a player, Altidore needs to create new memories with the U.S. national team, both for Klinsmann and for those many fans who have already begun to forget the goals Altidore scored in his early national team years.
you don't think he was awesome against italy? beginning to sound like you just like arguing…
dope dope dope lil b reference
you are just being ignorant now. it has been explained to you many times that the reason he has done "nada" (1g, 1a in 3 starts actually) is because he has not been there! and the fact that he has not been there or "fit" is not his fault — not klinsmann's fault either. the fact is that he had more important things to do for the sake of his career. klinsmann was not thrilled by this, but he sent his message as he needed to and i promise you that they will both move on like big boys. altidore secured his spot as our #1 forward a long time ago. that does not mean that klinsmann had to hand it to him — he has done a good job of making jozy continue to earn it, but it is nothing more than that.
Turd Bradley
Fellow Turds-
This is sorta like no duh Ives or anyone sitting around thinking this. Of course he is going to show better in a league where he consistently trains with the same team for months instead of days and usually the teams they play are at a slightly lower level.
Of course he is going to do better in a feeder league like the dutch where many younger players are trying to make a name fore themselves.
Of course it is hard for anyone to produce hard on the international level when you are no longer the most athletic guy on the field by a long shot.
Of course when the line-up and system is consistently changing around you will not be consistent especially at the international level where he totally depends on his service. Good to see him create for himself in the dutch league.
Still have huge questions if he is disciplined or technical enough to be effective at the top international level where space and chances are limited.
Judging Amy
Yes. The essence is, acknowledging that Herc is playing well (though IMO not as lights out as his admirers profess, perhaps in a bid to bolster their arguments for sitting Jozy), should Jozy be 1st choice striker or at least be playing alongside Gomez?
I think there are definite arguments for Gomez over Jozy. I think the arguments for Jozy to be given a larger role with the National team are becoming stronger what with Altidore's great club form/goals and Gomez' lack of playing time/goals for his own club team. Despite what those dismissive of Altidore's achievements at AZ might think, club form, while by no means solely determinative, should definitely be a factor when it comes to answering the question I posited in the first paragraph above.
I think the proposed explanation for Jozy's lack of Nats form by his supporters (lack of opportunity) is a reasonable one, but I understand the skepticism of his detractors on this point. If his club production continues at such a magnificent rate though, it will be harder and harder to accept the idea that he just sucks for the NT and that's why he gets no playing time.
Torres was in the midst of a severe goal drought last year for club and country, but his ship is righting. It happens. Strikers are defined by their last goal, just like keepers are defined by their last "soft goal". It's part of the biz and I don't see why it's news.
How we as fans extrapolate the emotional reaction we have to frustration over individual results says as much about us and our understanding of long-term development as it does about the value of any given player (The passion is great, but it has it's place).
It also says loads about the assumed expectation of a fan. If you as a fan of US Soccer will not be satisfied until your team wins a world cup I actually pity your tortured soul. The USA winning that trophy in Brazil would be the ultimate Cinderella story, and we're as close as we've ever been in terms of fielding a consistently strong side. To think that "only wins matter" and that "on any given day we can stand with the best of them" is a nice idea, but leaves a lot to chance. I for one want to see the US become as strong as any top 10 program, not simply be lucky. If the USA winds up being as strong as Portugal or Holland that would be no small feat–and yet they've never won the World Cup.
I would suggest that if you are one of these fans that you consider reframing your concept of victory and your concept of excellence. The goal right now for US Soccer should be getting as many exceptional young players focusing on their craft YEAR ROUND, training in the best environments they can have access to YEAR ROUND, and willing themselves to the next level (not in terms of payday, but challenge and building skill). Once that internal culture is established in EVERY player in the national team pool, the wins against bigger sides will come more steadily and we will no longer be a plucky underdog but a true world power in the sport. Michael Bradley is a textbook example of how that should be happening.
Is Jozy finished with his development? Wul dI like to see him score a hat trick each match, especially against a "weaker" opponent? no doubt. Nevertheless, his progress in Holland is something to be sincerely excited about and to hope continues, not dismiss simply because he's not scoring goals for the national team. You can dress that position up as pragmatism, but in truth it's naive and short-sighted.
JK has said many times this team is in transition. It's clear he is building from the back. It's also abundantly clear that our creative attacking options are now the biggest hole in the pool and finding players that will replace Dempsey and Donovan will take years to address, not just a few camps. It is my fervent hope that we'll see players like Luis Gil, Freddy Adu, Joe Corona, Graham Zusi, Brek Shea and Mixx Diskerrud make their way into similar development situations as Jozy has in the next season or two (are you listening Eddie Pope?). All of them are of the right age for such a jump and since the attrition rate for such an endeavor is pretty high when you condier injury, burn out and plain old potential not being as high as expected, it would mean that at the end of that period we'd probably have one or two really solid options come 2016 (yes, at least 4 years from now).
We're not there yet, but we're on our way. Like Michael Bradley, Jozy's current success is another important marker of that progress, so be patient and just enjoy the journey, people!
You've got to play him if you want him to score. Love what Herc Gomez has done with his career, and loved the goal he scored vs. JAM, but he's been getting the time at striker over Jozy even though he's not exactly pouring them into the back of the net, either.
There are obviously some issues invovled, but Mario Balotelli I think would qualify.
This just brings to light, the travesty of the U-23 team not making the Olympics.
It would have been a great opportunity for a player such as Jozy, to play in 3 or 4 important quality matches.
One other quick point… I believe you play the hot hand. Jozy is clicking right now and has a nose for the goal. JK has to call him to Antigua later this month. At that point it is up to him to earn his spot.
It could also be that Altidore turns out to be a player like Claudio Pizarro, Hugo Sanchez, or Samuel Eto'o, strikers that have had great club careers but so-so ones with their national teams.
louis z
good observation. I guess Jozy needs to be playing at the right time.
Reply October 02, 2012 at 02:39 AM
Leo said in reply to GW…
Oh, sorry to tack on another comment, but it's also pretty nice to have an attacking side that happens to play for the same one or two teams in the same league. I'm looking at you, Barca and RM.
You bring up a great point.
Obviously with comparatively little practice time and many fewer games, national teams can get a great jump on things by capping as many players from the same club as possible. Prime examples would be Germany, built around Bayern Munich and Borussia Moenchengladbach, and Holland built around Ajax and Feyenoord back in the 70's.
And of course, the obvious ultimate example would be modern day Spain. The down side is the inherent factionalism that may introduce into the team but it's probably worth the headache.
For those who constantly bitch and moan about why the manager does not cap this guy or that guy who is playing well for their club, they should examine your point.
Sir Alf Ramsey, the manager of England's 1966 World Cup winning team had three West Ham cornerstone guys; Hurst in attack, Peters in midfield and Moore in defense who always played.
Ramsey was often criticized for playing his regular Bornsteins ahead of others who might have been in better club form. He said he did it to improve "understanding" and maintain continuity in the team. We would call it team chemistry.
But in a world filled with fantasy leagues, most USMNT fans think in terms of individuals and their stats and place little value on team work.
Many USMNT fans can't understand the dichotomy that Jozy presents
Most US fans are used to the idea of a player playing for one team at a time. It is hard for them to envision doing well for AZ for example and not doing well for the US, never mind that those are two completely different sets of players, schemes,coaches and opponents.
In comparison to a unified team like Spain the current USMNT has guys scattered in various leagues around the world. JK has a German contingent, a Mexican contingent, an England contingent, an "other smaller European league" contingent and an MLS contingent. And one guy in Serie A. from what I can tell it seems like a great bunch of guys and everyone is very tight personally but they are still stylistic playing differences.
The point is one of JK's biggest challenges is blending all these disparate elements into a coherent whole.
As it relates to Jozy, the team that he was comfortable with was built around attacking on the counter. It rotated around Donovan and Dempsey and had MB90 as the dominant midfield presence. Some of those guys are still around but everything else is different and Jozy has really had very little actual time on the field with these guys. And we don't counter much anymore.
If you need an example of how talented players can look pretty useless when transplanted to a different system look no further than the New York Knicks. Stoudamire is an All Star pick and roll player, fast break kind of guy stuck on a half-court offense team without a Steve Nash style point guard. And he is teamed with a ball movement killer in Carmelo. The end result is you've got a bunch of talented players who don't really fit together and are sitting around going nowhere fast.
That anyone is thinks this is down to Jozy's lack of skill, talent, patriotism ( failure to hold hand over heart)or work rate tells you a lot about the basic ignorance of many USMNT fans.
Boyd and Gomez, everyone's current favorites (at least until the next hot new guy comes along, maybe this Icelandic kid?) have done reasonably well and produced what? Three goals in eleven games all from Gomez. Mind you I think Jozy should be paired with Gomez but Jozy could equal that total in one game with a little luck.
Going forward it may be that JK's system and player pool will never really find a way to incorporate Jozy's talents or Jozy will not be able to adjust enough to fit into what JK will be doing. That is too bad but it would also mean the US is probably doing well enough without him.
This would not necessarily be a reflection on Jozy. He might still be a good or even a great player. This happens all the time. Lots of great club players never make a dent internationally. Not that Jozy is in their class but it has taken years for Argentina to figure out how to use Messi, and Portugal has yet to fully utilize Cristiano Ronaldo. It took Italy and Cassano quite a while to get together. And so on.
Jozy will be fine. The USMNT will be fine. Hopefully, they can be fine together.
shame we can't get Yura to do the one-time switch… I remember being really impressed with him when he played in MLS.
David JS
could use more of your "Crazy" here on SBI Mike
David JS
didn't think of him, true though. Karim Benzema is only 24 as well
Gary Page
Thanks for the further perspective. As I recall, Rooney recently went something like close to a year without scoring for England and Messi only recently has begun scoring with regularity for the Argentine national team. A lot depends on circumstances.

Dear Bears, Samahria, Raun, Beverly and Clyde, Stan, and of course, Zoe!
I thought I would write notes of thanks to each of you, but as I think of one, I think of all. There is love and power in the group you have created. You are all so passionately and perfectly living 'The Option Attitude', teaching through your living example and your superb execution of The Option Process® Dialogue, so the laser sharp clarity, powerful commitment and conviction of the group have become so much greater than the sum of its parts – a force of nature that I celebrate in love.

|Multiple Comet Requests to the Same Server, from the Same Client
|Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:22:52 GMT
I have a basic CometProcessor servlet implemented, and everything appears to work as expected, except for one small issue: I cannot make multiple requests from the same client to the same server. My servlet simply sends messages to the client as they come in (think of it as a one-sided chat, no POST). This works fine, except when I open a second browser to the same server from the same client, I do not see the "void event(CometEvent event)" method being called. The browser just sits and spins waiting to connect. However, if I connect from a second client (IP address), then the "void event(CometEvent event)" method is called, and the second client starts receiving messages. It seems as though tomcat (or the comet filter) is limiting the number of connections from the same IP address. I have not tested this yet, but that would be an issue in NAT situations where all connections would appear to come from the same IP address. Thoughts? Running: tomcat-7.0.6 servlet-api-2.5.jar tomcat-*-7.0-SNAPSHOT Thanks... Bill-

• Australia 1-0 Costa Rica (Cahill, 69 min)
Postamble: Lucas Neill is interviewed after the game, he calls it a "positive, fantastic start". Australia were a much better side in the second-half once Rogic, Oar and Cahill came on. They also looked more fluid than in the Osieck era. A win over another World Cup qualifier too, albeit it a subpar one. Cahill calls the performance "pretty good". That's fair.
Full-time: One last chance for the Socceroos on the edge of the area but they choose the safe option and let time tick down as they pass it about. Cahill gets smacked in the face with the ball. Although it actually hit his hand and he just pretended it hit his face. Bad Tim! Anyway, that's pretty much the last action and the ref blows for full-time shortly afterwards.
90min: If you had two minutes of extra time in the office sweepstake you just won the prize.
89 min: Rogic advances up the pitch, but passes backwards. Australia happy to keep possession here. "Sorry, I haven't been paying very close attention (I'm supposed to be working), but why, at 75 minutes, did Duarte thwhack himself? " asks Charles Antaki. "Was it one of those forehead-slapping gestures suggesting that he'd just realised that he'd forgotten to lock his car, or similar?" He forgot to tell his team to turn up and play competently. That old chestnut.
86 min: Costa Rica's fans are now sitting down and having a general chat. I think, think, there has been one shot on target tonight. And it was a goal. So not much in the way of shots, but when we did get one you couldn't argue with its accuracy. "If Ange has five years surely he should be looking at keepers and players that will be there for those five years," says Kevin Morse. "It is time for all Australian sides to start investing in the future. At least young players will give 100% and the press won't be saying we should not have picked the old guys when they are flogged in Brazil. The 6-0 friendlies should be a warning of where the old guys are at." Tim Cahill is old-ish and he's done OK.
83 min: Costa Rica have been pretty sluggish tonight, particularly in the second-half. On this evidence, Australia will definitely not be the worse side at the World Cup. Costa Rica play the offside trap (unsuccessfuly) and three Socceroos are free in the box. The free-kick is hit too firmly though and no one can get to the ball.
79 min: Hernandez, of A-Leaue fame, is trundling on for Campbell. Say whjay you want about my cardboard prose but I have been lightning fast with the substitution news tonight.
77min: Cubero off, Rodriguez on for Costa Rica. Australia have never lost with Ange Postecoglou in charge. The excellent Kruse and Milligan are off for Kennedy and McKay, who sound like a Scottish folk trio.
75min: Duarte is thwacked by Duarte and wins a free-kick in the left-hand side of the area. Kruse wins another corner after a surge into the box. He's been excellent this half. Nothing comes from Oar's corner.
72 min: Australia win their fifth corner of the night. Will Costa Rica mark Cahill this time? Yes, they will. Crafty Costa Rica. It works too and they get the ball away. Top tactics from the visitors there.
GOAL! Australia 1-0 Costa Rica (Cahill 68min)
So it turns out Cahill is quite good at heading. Who knew? Not Costa Rica, who don't mark one of the most famous headers of the ball in world football unmarked at a corner and he nods into the net. That equals the Australian goalscoring record.
67min: Umana is booked and Australia have a free-kick about 30 yards out in the centre of the pitch. Jedinak to take ... and Jedinak to force a save. It creeps past the wall - a good effort but didn't have the venom to beat Pemberton.
65 min: Scoceroos have been much better this half: aggressive and coordinated. Their first touches have been better too - something that let them down too often in the first 45 minutes.
62min: Rogic and Oar are coming on, which means the evening is over for Bresciano and Vidosic. Bresciano had a good game, the fact that Ange played him tonight despite his impending ban hints he's keen to get him to Brazil. Rogic has an immediate impact striding down the centre of the pitch but his final ball is poor.
59min: Oviedo is off for Diaz. Boo! Oviedo was Costa Rica's most entertaining player, fast and skillful. Anyway, Australia have a free-kick, which is floated towards - get this - Tim Cahill's magical forehead. Costa Rica get it away though.
57 min: Oviedo prodcues a few nice touches on the left-hand flank before Franjic tackles him with some good old-fashioned agriculture.
55min: Both sides have been more positive this half. Campbell charges up the pitch, drops his shoulder and cuts a cross in that Ryan gathers.
53min: Leckie is off for someone called Tim Cahill. That seems to inspire Jedinak who shrugs off a challenge and rumbles up the pitch before unleashing a shot that goes wide of the keeper's right-hand post. Better from Australia.
51 min: Cheeky's real name is Bennes. I think I will stick with that. Cunningham has a very good chance, out of nowhere the ball arrives at his feet. It's not quite a Leckie open goal but he slices it horribly wide. He actually slices it sideways.
48min: Williams off and McGowan on.
46min: Calvo and McDonald off for Cunningham and someone called (I'm not making this up) Cheeky. Or Chiqi. It sounds like Cheeky anyway. "Big scoreboard has put up the votes for player of the match twice in the first half. Tim Cahill dropped from second to fifth," writes Mike Ticher. Cahill is warming up, we'll see him soon, no doubt.
Half-time: The Fox commentary team have described the first-half as "very productive". I'm not so sure, the Socceroos were fluent in the first 15 minutes so far but they've barely had a shot on goal, their control has been average to poor and they haven't created many chances. Apart from that though: very productive.
45min: Two shots in a minute - and Costa Rica's first of the match. Yep, of the entire match. It's blazed across goal.
44min: Leckie's back on! And he misses an open goal! But that was exciting! At last! So we forgive him! Kruse breaks down the right, and plays a lovely ball across goal. Leckie slides in with the keeper beaten but it goes wide. In his defence, he was stretching and it was a tough angle and he is trying ever so hard. Not in his defence: he should have scored.
41 min: Bresciano and Leckie exchange some nice passes before the latter's touch lets him down. Lechie then nearly flicks the ball past his marker and smashes the ball into the goal so hard it actually sets the net on fire. But unfortunately he doesn't get past the beating his marker but. Leckie is now down - he was stood on by Duarte. Ow, that looked painful.
37 min: Campbell is barged by Davidson but stays on his feet - he's learned his lesson - McDonald plays a ball into the box but there's an offside call.
35 min: This match has reached almost Osieck-levels of tedium. Bring back Holger! Bring back whoever was the last coach of Costa Rica!
33min: Borges plays a lovely ball to Pinto (as in his coach, who is standing on the sidelines and not on the pitch, where you're supposed to pass it). Pinto looks a bit shocked by the appearance of the ball and kind of does a weird backheel flick to deflect it, like an ageing Colombian Zlatan.
30 min: I've just realised there hasn't been a shot on target yet. Thirty minutes and no shot on target, This is quite rude to the spectators in some ways. Davidson had a go I suppose, but that was at his own goal.
27 min: Australia take time to ping it about, they need a decent spell of possession after a resurgence from Costa Rica of late. "Do Costa Rica have a navy or air force then," asks Claire Winifred. "Maybe that makes up for not having an army." I've got to admit, Claire, you're taxig my knowledge of Central American military history here.
25min: Free-kick for Costa Rica and they float in into the box. Ryan and Davidson get in a jumble again - neither is sure who is supposed to claim it - that's the second time that's happened.
22 min: Kruse fouls Borges but escpaes a booking. Hey! There's Del Piero in the crowd. A Big Costa Rica fan, I suppose. Davidson - apart from the bit where he nearly scored an own goal - has been lively tonight (although I guess you could score a lively own goal) and Costa Rica have to defend well to stop him getting a cross in from the left.
19min: Costa Rica shamble into the Socceroos half, apologetic guests. Then Oviedo streaks through the Aussie midfield - had no idea he was at that fast - but Neill takes care of his cheek with a big lump. That's our captain. "Is it my imagination or has Simon Hill failed to use the phrase 'tall timber' yet," says Phil Withall. "I shall demand a refund on my cable subscription! If he doesn't refer to the crowd as the faithful then I will know for sure that the apocalypse is upon us." And ye will know the apocalypse by the lack of calling the crowd "the faithful".
16 min: Davidson's shot is deflected and loops up into the box. Leckie nips in front of his marker and nods the ball towards Pemberton. No sting in the header but Leckie has been very lively indeed.
13 min: Vidosic with a shot this time. Leckie turns and plays him in, but the shot - on the run - is dragged wide. Australia look fluid though, they seem to understand each other much more than in the Osieck era (admittedly the current era isn't too old). "Since we're going down memory lane, try looking up Yugoslavian anthem. After Yugoslavia fell apart virtually every country apart from Serbia changed their nation anthem to reflect this which led to protests and boos and many other such stuff whenever the national team played," says Marko Teodorcevic. "This in turn led to amusing scenes when Serbia played Poland because polish national anthem is the exact same tune."
10 min: Kruse is clear of the Costa Rican defence after a long ball from Milligan. Kruse can't control it though and Costa Rica clear. A good spell for the Socceroos here. Bresciano and Milligan are controlling midfield. Jedinak then finds the ball at his feet yards out but can't dig his shot out.
8 min: Leckie and Pemberton clash as they compete for the ball in the box, Australia win a corenr (which comes to nothing). His speed put the frighteners on Costa Rica there. "Tom, I'm pretty disappointed by the Ange revolution so far," says Jack Paulsen. "I was expecting some agricultural reforms or perhaps a purge of the army officer class but instead he's just picked Matthew Leckie up front." Don't worry, hopefully he'll build some massive, gaudy statues of himself before too long.
5min: Jason Davidson comes up with some inexplicable defending, attempting to head the ball to safety, he instead heads it past Ryan and towards goal. Franjic has to clear off the line.
3 min: Kruse is released by a long-ball, it's also an offside ball. Campbell plays a nice pass into the box without diving. Australia escort the ball out of danger and away for a nice dinner and a good bottle of wine.
1 min: Lucas Neill has the crazy eyes at kick-off. The man is PUMPED. Imagine if he actually makes it to the World Cup. One thing you have to admit with Lucas: he cares.
They played the whole of the Costa Rican national anthem! How very hospitable. I suspect they only meant to do the first minute but it was so good they got carried away. Still, nothing beats this in the anthem stakes (Note: this is not an endorsement of Stalinism)
The Costa Rica national anthem is rather jaunty. Feel free to sing along at home
The teams are in the tunnel and Phil Withall is emailing in: "Conspiracy theorists will suspect that you have a slightly biased opinion of Master Campbell. With his 'good' video not working and his 'purely satanic' one playing just fine. Or it could just be my phone." It's our phone, you have a biased phone. If you try to ring Costa Rica it will put you through to Panama.
Comments that will be banned tonight:
1) Cost Rica knowing the way to San Jose
2) Anything relating Costa Rica having having a bad defence to the fact that they don't have an army
3) Queries as to whether Holger Osieck is watching this from his sofa.
On the the other hand, while he is a fine finisher, Arsenal's Campbell (he's never actually played for them but he's still referered to as "Arsenal's Joel Campbell") is also a horrendous diver and was punished by Fifa over this effort (although it would be better if Sepp and Co went a step further and sorted out Qatar while they're at it. Still, baby steps):
People often say to me: "Tom, describe Joel Campbell's finishing style in one word". I reply: "calm"
I once thought about teaching English in Costa Rica but found I was a) terrified of speaking in public (now conquered, in your face panic attacks) and b) monumentally lazy. That doesn't mean I don't know about Costa Rica though, oh no. Some interesting facts:
1) Costa Rica has no army
2) In any discussion about Costa Rica, the first fact that will come up is that Costa Rica has no army
3) Why hasn't anyone invaded it yet?
4) "Costa Rica" literally means the "cost of rice" because the Central Bank of Rice is located in San Jose adn sets the price of rice around the world
5) They have qualified for the World Cup four times
6) Seriously , why has no one invaded it, it looks really nice
7) Carlos Hernandez of A-League fame plays for them, although he is no guarantee to get to Brazil - he's on the bench tonight.
And here's John Duerden with some more incisive comments:
Since qualification Australia have played won one, drawn one and lost four, conceding 19 along the way. If there was ever a textbook way not to start preparations for the World Cup, the Socceroos have it nailed.
Los Ticos, who qualified fairly comfortably, will not want to follow that path. Costa Rica are similar to their hosts in that Brazil will be a fourth World Cup with the past three appearances consisting of one second round and two group stage eliminations. Teams may know the way to San Jose but haven't yet figured out how to take points with all five home games in the final round of qualification ending in Costa Rica wins – just three points came on the road. Losing to the United States in the now infamous SnowClásico did not go down well but Sydney in November will be a little more pleasant.
Even so, a draw would be a good result for the visitors especially as Fulham's attacking midfielder Bryan Ruiz, currently a target for West London boo-boys, is missing along with Copenhagen winger Cristian Bolanos. Joel Campbell of Olympiacos, and briefly of Arsenal, and Everton's Bryan Oviedo have made the trip however and are expected to start.
Hey! I found the Costa Rica starting team [cue cheers from San Jose all the way to beautiful, beautiful Limon].
Patrick Pemberton (c); Giancarlo Gonzalez, Oscar Duarte, Michael Umana; Christian Gamboa, Celso Borges, Jose Miguel Cubero, Bryan Oviedo; Diego Calvo, Jonathan McDonald, Joel Campbell
Ange is interviewed before the game
On Bresciano "No one is integral. The team tonight is a bit about the present and a bit about the future."
On Leckie: "Matty's exciting. We want our players in good form before internationals."
On Rhys Williams: "I'm excited about his ability to play up from the back."
Sorry, I'd have more but I failed the Typing Dead Fast While Managers Do Pre-Match Interviews test at school.
Evolution or revolution? Well, there were a few grumbles when Ange Postecoglou unveiled his captain for the brave new era as ... Lucas Neill. You know, Lucas Neill, of the bad old era. Having said that there are only two players over 30 in the starting XI tonight: Neill and Bresciano. Will be interesting to see how Matthew Leckie - who has been in good form for Frankfurt - gets on up front.
Or, if you prefer your team in actual letters and stuff:
Mat Ryan; Ivan Franjic, Lucas Neill (c), Rhys Williams, Jason Davidson; Mark Milligan, Mile Jedinak; Robbie Kruse, Mark Bresciano, Dario Vidosic; Matthew Leckie.
News on the Costa Rica team as we get it/I learn out who to spell them.
Team news, and it appears that Mat Ryan is the new Mark Schwarzer, except without the career in children's literature. Or the career watching Petr Cech from the bench. Or the career as Atlanta Falcons quarterback. Anyway, the Socceroos team:

A new drug, dronedarone (Multaq), may increase risk for death, stroke and hospitalization in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation.
On July 21, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a safety alert regarding the use of dronedarone (Multaq), a drug to treat abnormal heart rhythms, for patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. This alert is based on initial study findings from a study conducted by Sanofi-Aventis, the maker of Multaq. Initial data showed that patients taking Multaq for permanent atrial fibrillation were at significantly increased risk for death, stroke and hospitalization, causing the study to be stopped early.
Multaq is a relatively new drug approved in 2009 to treat patients with atrial fibrillation — the most common cardiac arrhythmia. It is estimated that about 1 million Multaq prescriptions have been filled since then to treat over 240,000 patients. However, this drug was only approved for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter — cardiac conditions that come and go, and are present for less than 6 months.
Based on study findings, Multaq should not be prescribed to patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, those currently taking Multaq should consult with their physicians about whether they should continue this treatment for non-permanent atrial fibrillation. However, patients should not stop taking the drug without consulting with their doctor first.
The FDA hopes to provide final study results soon, and further research will be conducted to confirm the safety of Multaq in patients with non-permanent atrial fibrillation.
What is Multaq?
Should I stop taking Multaq for non-permanent arrythmia?

High Dynamic Range Imaging
High dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a technique for getting more detail in highlights and shadows. The principle is to take photographs at different exposures and combine them with software. Consider these three exposures of a restaurant on the coast south of San Francisco.
The camera was handheld and the pictures taken in quick sequence. The normal exposure could be improved by lightening the shadows and darkening the highlights in Photoshop. The bright parts of the clouds are so far overexposed, however, that darkening the clouds would could never restore detail. Once a part of the image is solid white or black there is nothing that can be done to restore detail originally in the scene. There is software deigned to combine two or more exposures to preserve the details. These images were processed with Photomatix, which is available on the web for about $130. It runs independent of Photoshop and only performs HDRI tasks. The Photomatrix results can be imported into Photoshop for cropping and further adjustments. Here is the result for the restaurant scene:
The image was cropped to get rid of most of the uninteresting road and to enlarge the restaurant. (Barbara's Fish Trap is in Princeton, California. Their fish is very good.) The HDR process produces an interesting image without much fuss. In the days of film this would require careful exposure using a spot meter followed by elaborate darkroom work. The effort involved in taking three exposures depends upon the camera. Pocket cameras as of this writing usually do not support automatic bracketing. Once enabled, the bracketing feature captures three exposures with three clicks of the shutter. The feature is likely to be included with cameras starting in the $600 to $800 price range, but it also on some less expensive cameras. Instructions for setting up bracketing on a Nikon D80 are given here. Even with the manual, it isn't obvious.
Nothing Can MoveFor ordinary scenes with sky and a modest amount of shadows it suffices to take normal exposure and one two stops under. Outdoors with shadows, the three exposure set suffices. In more extreme lighting wider bracketing is required. A darkened room with a window viewing a bright landscape may require an exposure three or four stops more than the average for the scene. Even fancy cameras do not provide for bracketing that wide, so it has to be done with manual settings.
Here is an another example. Click on the image to enlarge it.
This is extreme lighting. The picture is taken into bright Hawaiian sun. In the HDRI the shadows remain transparent and sky is blue. (The location is Kawaihae Harbor on the Big Island.)
The Photomatix software includes a Tone Compression module that maps the computed HDR image to a lower range of tones suitable for practical display. Highlights stay unblocked and shadows stay transparent. There are parameters that allow tuning the mapping to suit your taste. I've found that sometimes it is difficult to get enough contrast in output produced by the tone compression software. A solution is to import the Photomatrix output as a 16-bit tiff image into the Photoshop Elements editor, then adjust the contrast there. It may just be that the Photoshop tools and parameters are more familiar.
The results are enticing, but there are problems. The images have to overlap precisely. The software helps align the photos, so the camera can be handheld. The problem is that nothing within the scene can move while you are taking the sequence of exposures. If people are wlking around or wind is blowing the tree leaves, the method will not work well. Very small differences will blur out acceptably. In the Hawaii photo, the water did not hold still while the three exposures were taken, but the blur in the water is acceptable.
Here is an example where too much has gone wrong:
I had to move out of the way between exposures, and did not return the camera to its original position. Also, someone moved in the parking lot. The software could not compensate for the differences and expressed its disgust with black and white artifacts. The moral is not to stand near a restaurant door when taking an HDR sequence.

Feds Warn Of Asbestos Threat
Workers at closed Omaha plant may have been exposedOct 31, 2004 | www.wowt.com
A federal health warning has been issued for former workers of a closed Omaha insulation plant that they could have been exposed to a deadly form of asbestos.
The Western Minerals Products plant used vermiculite to manufacture insulation from the 1940s until it closed in 1989. The vermiculite was taken from a mine in Libby, Montana and it was later learned that the mine had a natural deposit of asbestos that contaminated the vermiculite.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry is investigating to see if workers at the Omaha plant and 27 other sites around the country were unknowingly exposed to asbestos. Inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause lung diseases including cancer.

President Rodrigo Duterte has been in the light of recognition as he was able to do many things previous presidents were unable to do. Here is the list of the reasons why President Duterte is one of the best leaders the country had:
1.) He gave attention to military camps as he visited 14 of them in a month. Aside from military camps, the president also paid attention to military hospitals and invited wounded soldiers for a get-together dinner at the Malacanang Palace. He also ordered an annual military conference in Basilan.
2.) He gave Badjaos new opportunities after giving them necessary vessels and equipment for guarding their sea.

9.) He was able to make the leftists set their first foot at the Malacanang Palace after opening it for them.

11.) He was able to address the issue of "tanim-bala" scam and he was able to significantly improve airport and airline services.
12.) Not only he was able to improve the air transportation, he was also able to improve LRT and MRT services. Basic facilities such as escalators and elevators received attention from the President.
13.) He was able to manage a nationwide emergency response system (911). He was also able to establish a contact service (8888) which addresses citizen's complaint regarding government services.
14.) He was able to make government transactions more convenient for the citizens. He also extended the validity of government-issued documents such as driver's license and passports. He was also able to shorten the release of NSO certificate and Seaman's book which has to be released within 3 days upon request.
15.) He was able to sign the Freedom of Information (FOI) for the executive branch of the government.
16.) In his administration, there is a significant improvement in the country's disaster preparedness. The government's resources and funds were spent and used properly.

If they want to then do something 'more' and address a toolkit directly, that's their perogative, but not something we should even get involved in or claim to support (same issue as svn bdb assumptions). Five practical illustrations related to httpd on win32 out of the box; * ht* support should not bind to/load into process the crypto/ssl libs, ever. Removing the ssl stub[s] due to local laws mustn't invalidate such programs. * user has desire to use ms crypto providers, support this, they must fight with their own registration of certs/keys in the registry. * user has desire to use openssl * user has desire to use openssl compiled as FIPS [these must be seperate libs, see recent firstname.lastname@example.com discussions] * user has 3rd party module using nss directly, seeks to avoid incompatibilities (note the libld platforms suffer much worse than win32 in this respect). I've seen this particular issue repeated year after year in new forms. Fedora is relatively homogeneous so I doubt it would benefit, but again we can offer the disable dso support flags for platforms who rather build in that manner.

A poor spring training record is not necessarily alarming. The Reds, Nationals, and Braves all had losing pre-seasons last year and came back with the three best regular season records in the NL. Conversely the Padres and Mariners came into last season with winning exhibition seasons and both lost more than 90. Toronto had a pristine spring training record one year ago before losing 89. The purpose of Cactus League games isn't as much about winning as preparation. All teams have long rosters and make frequent substitutions as players vie for the last remaining opening day spots.
Since the Reds return the bulk of their personnel there doesn't figure to be many jobs up for grabs. There are some questions on the final spots in the infield and bullpen with multiple candidates working to make the trip northward. As far as the performance of regulars is concerned, come opening day, spring training stats can be forgotten regardless of how good or bad they were.
Cincinnati fans will hope that this year's spring is not a harbinger of things to come as the Reds currently have the worst record of all NL clubs at 4-11. Right now they are sharing the bottom of the Cactus League standings with their opening day opponent, the Angels. They had the day off on Monday before hosting the Dodgers on Tuesday.
There are almost seventy Reds players at camp right now and many of them do not figure into their MLB plans in the upcoming year. Below are a dozen questions they were looking to answer as they prepare for the season:
1. How is Joey Votto's knee? He has one home run in spring training, his first dinger since he injured it last June. He won the NL MVP in 2010 and was atop the candidate list for another one last season before going on the DL. This spring he's once again getting on base, going 7-18 with five walks. He also feels healthy enough to play for Canada in the World Baseball Classic.
2. How is Aroldis Chapman adjusting to the rotation? He has only two appearances and one start thus far, giving him four innings pitched. Opponents have gotten one run and three hits during that time while he's struck out two. With his strikeout rate last season there probably weren't many stretches where he had only two K's over four innings, but key to his transition is learning to tone down the power a bit and pace himself. Command is more important for any starter, which he had plenty of last year; the previous year, well, not so much. He's walked only one thus far.
3. How is Shin-Soo Choo adjusting to center field? The former Indian went 4-4 on Sunday to raise his preseason average to .421. Based on past history there aren't many doubts on his ability to provide be a legitimate leadoff hitter. In the field he hasn't made an error yet and though PO/game are misleading because players rarely play full games, his six putouts give him a rate over two per nine innings.
4. Is Jonathan Broxton still an effective closer at this stage of his career? The big right-hander has allowed only one hit, a walk and no runs in three appearances.
5. Is 2013 the year that Devin Mesoraco takes the next step toward MLB performance that was expected before his rookie season last year? Mesoraco has started strong, going 6-15 (.400) with a couple of homers. Some felt that Miguel Olivo might challenge for the backup catching job to begin the season, but the veteran is 2-17 with one home run.
6. Who's gaining an advantage for the final infield spot? If spring training performance will be influential on this decision it's still a highly competitive race. Cesar Izturis is hitting .320 with a homer and is tied for the team lead with six RBI. Jason Donald and Emmanuel Burris are hitting .300 and .320 respectively. Donald may have the inside track since all the spots on the Reds 40-man roster are full and he has one of them. However, veteran Nick Masset has one too and he's expected to return to the DL to begin the season which could make another one available. Kristopher Negron is currently 5-10. Rookie Henry Rodriguez has gone 8-20.
7. Who gets the final bullpen spot? They are likely some preferences for veteran Manny Parra to provide another southpaw as a lefty specialist. He's given up seven hits and three earned runs over six plus innings. He's also struck out five without a walk. J.J. Hoover wouldn't have a problem landing a job on another team that wasn't so deep in the bullpen. He's allowed one run in four appearances and would be making plans to begin in Cincinnati this year if more than one of the other returning relievers threw left-handed. Southpaw Tony Cingrani has allowed four runs in four innings. Clay Hensley might be heading to Louisville, but it doesn't appear the veteran has given up while tossing seven innings with only one run and a 0.57 WHIP.
8. How is 2014 CF/leadoff heir apparent Billy Hamilton developing? Hamilton has perhaps been the biggest disappointment thus far, going 2-18 with eight strikeouts. He was expected to head down the road to Louisville anyway and will work on his contact in the International League. In the field he's made no errors with ten putouts in 38 innings (2.37 PO per nine) at his new position.
9. Is Johnny Cueto ready for opening day? Cueto's injury to end last season wasn't considered serious, but it sure changed the complexion of the team's post season run. He's allowed five earned runs in nine innings thus far and after his most recent outing he commented that he was rushing his delivery. It will be more important for him to use the next three weeks to tweak it instead of worrying about his ERA. In 2011 he was hit hard in a minor league rehab after opening the season on the DL and came back to post a 2.31 ernie over the remainder of the season.
10. What about Mike Leake? He has two starts, giving up only one run in five innings.
11. Will Xavier Paul hold onto the final outfield spot? Derrick Robinson and Paul are hitting about the same (.278/.261). Paul is already on the 40-man and his performance after making it to Cincinnati last season and it will probably earn a spot on the active roster come opening day.
12. Which Logan Ondrusek is at spring training? The big right-hander was a dominant reliever last year until late July. He finished with an unexpected trip to Louisville and a near-five ERA over his last fourteen appearances and missed out on the post season roster. He's allowed only one run in four innings, but he's also walked three and given up five hits.
Another top priority is to finish with everyone healthy to begin the season. Jay Bruce and Choo have reported some minor leg injuries but both have since returned to action. Pending the final decision on Chapman, the rotation is set and Cueto is the only member of it to throw more than five innings thus far.
Every team will have at least a few questions entering spring training. The Reds are coming off a 97-win campaign and entered it with all key roles set. They will want the regulars to get enough action to be sharp come opening day. After that it's all hand on deck as Cincinnati goes for their third division crown in four years and a deep postseason run in 2013.

"Ana!" Jester gasped when he saw her standing in the doorway. Someone else was with her, probably Lukah, but Jester didnt see him clearly. Ana was staring at Jester in horror, looking down, Jester saw why. He'd blocked out the pain, not giving Katarina what she wanted. These cuts werent healing like ordinary cuts, for Katarina had done it herself, with her own sharp nails, so his shirt was soaked in blood, now the pain came, as the shock of seeing Ana in such a place wore off.
"Is that all you've got?" Katarina laughed, and Jester realized Ana had tried to use her powers. No Ana, how could you, she's too powerful, she'll kill you. "My turn." Katarina finished. Still laughing, her stolen blue eyes flashed, and Ana dropped to the floor.
"Ana!" Jester yelled, as Ana began to writhe in pain, mouth open in a silent scream of pain. He pulled against the chains. "Stop it Katarina."
Katarina turned, surprise on her face, but also, amusement. She was powerful, and she knew it. What she'd been doing to Jester was nothing like what she was doing to Ana. And what she was doing to Ana was nothing compared to what she could do.
"Stop is Katarina." Jester repeated, his voice a growl. He hadnt changed form in a long time, and tensions were growing. Shapeshifters arent as stable as humans or even creatures like Katarina. They had to change form occasionally, and Jester was angry. Katarina was torturing his girl. Torturing Ana. Taking quick shallow breaths, Jester shivered, then, exploded into a new form.
A cat, powerfully built and covered in fur blacker than ink. Jester strained against the chains holding him, the links stretched and snapped, he pinned Katarina to the ground. Distracting her long enough to release Ana. Jester turned to Lukah, kneeling by her side.
"Get her out of here!" Jester said. "Its not safe."

The Hannover travel group TUI AG, whose shares are main listed in London, keeps an upbeat outlook of cruise shipping activities.
The company owns 100% of Hapag-Lloyd Kreuzfahrten and 50% of premium market TUI Cruises that caters for German market.
In its interim result statement, the line said that TUI underlying EBITA had grown by EUR 11 million in the quarter, which reflected the full year profit of Mein Schiff 3 (operated since June 2014) and the launch of Mein Schiff 4 (June 2015).
In addition, the remarkable turnaround of Hapag-Lloyd and EUR 4 million benefit from refinancing of ms Europa 2 meant that TUI Cruises delivered an EUR 21 million increase in underlying EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization).
In May, TUI AG Supervisory Board and the Board of Royal Caribbean decided to convert into firm orders the purchase options for the newest Mein Schiff 7 and Mein Schiff 8 (scheduled for delivery in 2018 and 2019), as the German market is enjoying further growth.
The new liners will be slightly larger than their predecessors, offering 2,860 lower berths each. Both vessels will be built by Meyer Turku just like all new TUI ships. The deal will be financed within TUI Cruises Joint Venture with no further contribution from TUI AG and Royal Caribbean, which owns the other half (50%) of TUI Cruises.
According to TUI, Mein Schiff 1 and Mein Schiff 2 will both be moved to Thomson Cruises in order to continue modernisation of UK cruise operations.
