#4 Scott Pilgrim Vol. 5: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The Universe (Oni Press), Bryan Lee O'Malley
When we last saw our frequently hapless sort-of hero, Scott Pilgrim, he had shockingly started to get it together, just like the title of the last book promised. He got a job, told Ramona he loved her, moved in with her, and generally started to behave more like a grownup than a 23-year-old man-child who avoids responsibility at all costs.
But after four volumes of action-comedy-romance where Scott's most difficult opponent has generally been himself, Vol. 5 changes the game by forcing him to face the most difficult challenge of all: The fact that not everything is about him, even his own book.After all, the series up until this point has literally been the Scott Pilgrim show, and virtually everything, including his relationship with Ramona, has been presented in terms of how it affects Scott and his "precious little life." And now that he's come out (mostly) on top, it would seems like it's time for blue skies and bonus levels. Except that while he was busy fighting evil exes and trying to achieve basic life competence, everyone else was busy living too. And maybe, possibly, the people around him have their own problems to deal with.
Like Ramona, who is suddenly acting very, very weird. The strange, glowing light that suddenly surrounded her head in the first book is back with a vengeance, and while we don't know exactly what it means, it's obviously bad news. (My theory? It's a sign of damage, like when video game characters take a hit and start flashing.)
And while she seems to spend the entire book in a state of low-grade irritation with Scott, he's probably a better boyfriend now than he's ever been before. Again, it's not really about him. Given our brief glimpse into Ramona's dreamscape where we saw her curled up like a dog at the feet of her ex-boyfriend, Gideon, how she's still keeping an unsent letter labeled "GIDEON" in her desk, her complete freakouts every time someone mentions New York, and the fact that she's cheated on pretty much everyone she's ever dated, we can guess that the lady has some issues – probably a lot more serious than Scott's issues, which are mostly that sometimes he sucks.
Now it's her turn to deal with the past, and she does it by looking for reasons to run. Scott, naturally, doesn't realize this until it is possibly too late, because he is busy being self-absorbed and focusing on things like silly battles with robots, because he thinks the narrative of this book is going to be just like all the other books that came before it. That it's all going to be about him. And it's not.
Meanwhile, Ramona, who quit smoking in college, stands on balconies flicking cigarette butts into the dark, stares blankly out windows when Scott talks about how much he cares about her, and cuts off all her hair.
Towards the end of the book, Scott turns to someone and says, "Sorry for everything. Sorry for me." It's an apology he probably owes a lot of people, but the irony is that he isn't even the problem anymore. In the past, his successes have been rewarded (literally) with bonus points and special items and 1ups, and now he gets nothing, because life is not a video game, and leveling up – or growing up – doesn't always end with a victory dance, and that you can't always solve other people's problems through punching. Or solve them at all.
A few pages later, Scott sits in the snow, arms curled around his knees, while the pixelized words CONTINUE? hang beneath him.
And to his credit, he does.

Adapted by cartoonist Darwyn Cooke from the novel of the same name by Donald Westlake (published under the name Richard Stark, originally) "The Hunter" follows Parker, the quintessential lone wolf badass, on a straightforward revenge gig. The plot isn't complicated, containing just enough twists to be engaging. The characters aren't complex, just embellished enough to carry weight. The strengths of the book are the strengths of the main character: a lean, focused commitment to moving forward and getting the job done.
Once in the city, he plays it like a big musical instrument, some machine for which he knows all the buttons and levers. He moves from building to building, person to person, and all he cares about any of them is what he can get out of them that he needs. He doesn't win by being righteous, or even really all that clever. He wins by knowing in his heart that everyone else is weaker than him and being mean enough to prove it.
Cooke keeps his art hard and fast, with loose and lean animation-inspired character designs, deep blacks for shading, and a washed-out blue-gray as the single color in his palette, infusing everything with a detached cool. The book's pared-down style pays direct homage to Westlake's prose, and one of the best choices Cooke makes is to periodically stop adapting the story into strict comics, fade into the background, and shift Westlake's prose itself into the spotlight.
The movement back and forth from (for lack of better differentiating terms) pure comics to illustrated prose allows Cooke to create breathing room between his kinetic charges, and also serves to show how malleable the comics form can be in service of even the most direct adventure story. "The Hunter" is the very best in popcorn reads, to be devoured in a single breakneck sitting, to be moved through as Parker moves through the city. The ultimate bastard is triumphant in the ultimate bastard medium.

It is difficult to consider Batwoman without first considering Batman, since like it or not she is taking his name, and everything that comes with it, as surely as if she had married him. And while everyone certainly expected the 21st century version to leave the Bat-Lipstick back in the Silver Age, it would have been very easy for her to fall into the same trap as so many heroines who add "She-" or "-woman" to the names of established heroes, dress up in swimsuit-shaped costumes with similar color schemes, and generally prance around like secondary characters too unoriginal to have an identity of their own.
But in a matter of months, Greg Rucka and artist J.H. Williams III have made Batwoman – and her alter ego Kate Kane – a force to be reckoned with, a nuanced, dynamic character with an origin story that can rate among the best in the history of superheroes.
Even in the expert hands of Rucka, who has made something of a career out of writing strong women, she has been a surprise, emerging not only three dimensions but in extraordinarily complex ones, with a backstory as compelling as that of Batman himself. And while she shares similarities with Bruce Wayne and his alter ego – a wealthy family, a childhood tragedy, a personal code, and a passion for justice – she is utterly herself.
One notable distinction is that despite their equally traumatic pasts, she seems far more well-adjusted than the Dark Knight. Granted, she's still dressing up like a bat and fighting crime, but where Batman is pathologically obsessive, she seems determined, but fluid; where Batman compartmentalizes his identity to the point of disassociation, she moves easily and organically between the different identities, as though they somehow comprised a whole, rather than dividing her into pieces.
The alter ego in superhero comics typically functions in one of two way: as the real identity of the person who puts on the mask, or as a way of hiding it. For Kate Kane, it is neither; it is one way the light moves through the glass, one way her life turns and reflects through the lens of the moment.
For me, this is the central narrative of Batwoman, and why she has become more interesting to me than even the Dark Knight himself: She has lived through horror and emerged as a hero, not by becoming someone else, but by continually reinterpreting herself, sometimes from moment to moment.
It's a process that plays out very visually, thanks to the consistently stunning work of J.H. Williams III, who brings a distinctly different visual style to each new iteration of Kate Kane. Whenever Batwoman appears, for example, the page seems around her seem to shatter, breaking into a series of clean, angular shards full of precise violence and personal menace.
Much of the art could be called geometric, but it might be more accurate to describe many of layouts as an homage to stained glass windows. Which are, after all, a form of sequential art that dates back to the Middle Ages, when they brought the story of Bible to the illiterate through narrative windows — panels made of glass. Here, in the cathedral of this comic, Williams borrows from the medieval art to tell a different sort of legend, but the result is no less magnificent.
The first time we see Kate Kane shift is the moment when she transitions from Batwoman to her civilian identity after a night on patrol, where those same fragments, jagged like lightning, suddenly fan out and resolve into loveliness – Kate at home, smiling, framed by dawn in the windows behind her and bathed in pastels. And suddenly the next page is a sea of squares, all 90 degree angles that are equally precise but far more benign, Kate in a world of daylight, glazed with yellow, where everything is bright and common.
Kate has never been just one simple thing, after all; she has never had that luxury, for numerous reasons. And now she has made a profession out of her ability to move in and out of these boxes, eluding categorization the way she has her entire life. It makes just as much sense for her to move between the identities of socialite and crimefighter as it does to move between eyeliner and fashionable tanktops on a date to sweatpants, weightlifting, and military jargon with her father, the colonel to dancing in dashing tuxedo at a high society event.
Or being a West Point cadet, a lesbian, a dropout, a flirt, a lost soul who looked for answers in a bottle, a survivor who saw her mother get shot in head when she was 12 years old, and a warrior capable of exuding all the menace and dread of Batman himself, when she wants to.
She's every one of these things, as much as the others. She's a human being. She's complicated. Aren't we all?

Update Aug 2013: this set is targeted to iOS 1-6 and is is deprecated. We've developed a new icon set for iOS 7 instead.
Here you can download 800 icons for iPhone and iPad.
This archive (2.2 Mb) contains:
- Photoshop PSD file with all icons in layers, size limited to 60x60 (as recommended by Apple)
- Free and paid licenses
Sorry, we needed your attention. Please read the license:
- Free for personal and commercial use, but we ask for a link. Free license
- Don't want a link? Want vector source? Buy a license
- Need a custom icon? Order custom icons for Windows 8, Vista, Mac and iPhone
Although we create new icons daily, the archive is not updated since September 13, 2012 (it's all manual process, really time consuming and depressively boring). But sure you can buy vector source and prepare an iPhone icon in less than a minute (here's some help and a Photoshop template).
Preview all icons in a single PNG file (800kb, 6 000 px tall)
The story behind it (as if someone cares)
- Initially, we didn't think about it as a paid work. We created it for the developer's community, to get some links and some Google PR.
- Sure we offered an attribution-free license. It was never successful. We never got back money we paid to the PHP guy who developed it.
- But people must be hating linking to us, so suddenly we earned $1400 in August 2012.
- Now we offer buying the license more aggressively and also propose sponsoring an icon.
And now we'd thank everyone for
- the attention
- for using the icons
- for spreading the word
- and for buying the licenses.
The problem is this post is too long and too boring. Too sad nobody could read to this point.

TEL AVIV (Jan. 7)
Nine percent of Israelis were considering emigration in 1986, a 70 percent increase in less than three years, according to a review in Haaretz Tuesday of a series of polls taken by the Pori organization.
In 1983, 5.3 percent of those questioned by the pollsters said they were contemplating emigration. In 1984 the number grew to 6.1 percent and was 7.7 percent in August 1985. In December 1986, nine percent said they would "probably" or "certainly" emigrate, the report said.
It also found the number of Israelis who justify emigration to have increased significantly. In 1984 it was 14.6 percent. In March 1985 the number was 17.1 percent and by August of that year it was up to 20.3 percent.
In 1986, 57 percent of the respondents said they agreed or tended to agree with the statement that emigrants do not betray their homeland.

New owners of Waterfront plan upgrades, eye other properties in the region
One of the new owners of the Waterfront shopping complex is planning millions in upgrades, and has intentions of buying other properties in the region
"We like Pittsburgh, have been interested in the region for several years, and would consider buying similar properties, as well as possibly a Downtown office building," said Martin Sweeney, vice president of acquisitions for M&J Wilkow Ltd. of Chicago.
Wilkow, along with BIG Shopping CentersUSA of California, acquired the center this week from Developers Diversified Realty Corp. of Beachwood, Ohio, for a price in excess of $85.4 million.
Before any additional acquisitions occur, Sweeney said his company's first priority is to improve the Waterfront.
"The lighting, increasing energy efficiency, taking care of the parking areas and the landscaping, which will showcase the center," he said in an interview Friday.
"Our first project, over the next month and a half, will be improving the lighting," he said.
While occupancy at the Waterfront is 90 percent, "we plan to bring new tenants into the shopping center, to fill vacant spaces, and are currently negotiating with several retailers, all of them familiar to the Pittsburgh region."
Any new tenant probably won't open until spring, he said. He declined to identify them until leases are signed.
Also on the owners' agenda is improving the sales at existing tenants.
"Pittsburgh is a strong trade area, and we plan to work with our tenants to have better sales," said Stanley McElroy Jr., BIG Shopping Center's president, in a statement.
Spokeswoman Jenn Weyand of BouncePath Marketing in Atlanta said McElroy said shoppers at the Waterfront will see "a very different approach to the way we operate, all with the concept to keep the center a regional destination."
He was not available for further comment.
Sweeney said an issue that has concerned officials of the three municipalities — Munhall, West Homestead and Homestead — where the Waterfront is located, remains open.
The issue is who will handle maintenance of the roads, sidewalks and other public areas within the center once terms of a 1998 agreement with the original developers are fullfilled next year.
"We have had numerous meetings with officials of these boroughs and feel we have a good working arrangement with them," Sweeney said.
Whenever the agreement requires them to take over maintenane, we will work out an orderly transition that will be beneficial to all parties, he said.
"We recognize they have budget restraints, and we are sensitive to adding on to their strained capacity," he said.
Officials of all three boroughs have said their limited budgets and small street departments would not be able to take on about two miles of roads, two ramps to a major bridge, hundreds of sewers, streetlights and traffic signals to maintain.
Money paid into a maintenance fund by the owners, established in the 1998 agreement is used for repairs. U.S. Bank is the trustee of the fund. Payment requests for needed repairs or improvements by the owner are submitted to the trustee who in turn asks county officials to determine if the repairs are necessary. If the county approves, the trustee releases money to the owner.
"We are working with the municipalities and the owner to determine the future use of these funds, how they will be best utilized and benefit both the shopping center and the municipal governments," said Robert Hurley, deputy director, Allegheny County Department of Economic Development.

COLUMBIA, Md. (AP) -- Chemical and materials maker W. R. Grace & Co. said Friday that it will close a plant in southwestern Louisiana because the technology used there is outdated.
A representative for the company could not be reached immediately to say whether the move would lead to job cuts.
W.R. Grace, based in Columbia, Md., makes catalysts for oil refiners as well as packing and construction materials.
The plant it's closing makes silica sol-based fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst, a product used in refining petroleum. The plant is in Lake Charles, La.
The company said that it introduced silica sol catalysts in the late 1970s but it has grown out of date.
"We believe the silica sol catalyst technology has reached the end of its life cycle," Shawn Abrams, President of Grace Catalysts Technologies, said in a statement. "Other technologies in our portfolio are meeting the demands of modern day refiners far more effectively."
W.R. Grace reported Thursday that its second-quarter net income increased 20 percent on higher prices and growth in emerging markets. But its revenue fell and its forecast for the year disappointed.
The company has been under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since 2001 to resolve its asbestos-related liabilities. Health officials say hundreds of people have been killed in a Montana town and many more sickened by exposure to asbestos dust. The material came from a former Grace mine near the town.
Shares fell $3.05, nearly 4 percent, to close at $75.40 Friday.

The Veggie Table: Homemade Almond Milkby Janel Ovrut Funk in Uncategorized, April 14, 2012
The thought of making my own almond milk always seemed so cumbersome and unnecessary to me. But desperate times call for desperate measures: When I realized we forgot to pick up our weekly carton of almond milk at the grocery store, and I needed some milk for my cereal and tea, I decided to take measures into my own hands.
After a quick Google search for instructions, I simply blended a cup of raw almonds with four cups of water in my Vitamix. I didn't even strain out the pulp – just poured it right over my cereal. I was instantly sold on the ease of preparation. The next time I wanted to make almond milk, I planned ahead by soaking my almonds. Soaking almonds for at least an hour, or overnight if you have time, is beneficial because it makes them softer to blend. Soaking also releases enzymes in the nut that makes them easier to digest and releases healthful nutrients.

Yoga While Traveling
Take Your Yoga on the Road
If you're traveling for the holidays, that doesn't mean you should ditch exercise altogether. Unfortunately you can't always get to a gym, and it may be too chilly for you to work out outdoors. That's why I love doing yoga when I'm on the road because you can do it practically anywhere. Plus it's quiet, so you can do it in your room without disturbing anyone, and it's also a great way to relieve stress (you know, in case you have any holiday stress).
Here are some things you may need for your traveling yoga class:
- A lightweight mat. You can fold it instead or rolling it, and place it on the bottom of your suitcase. They also make foldable yoga mats. If you can't fit a mat, than you can always practice on a hardwood floor or carpet.
- Comfortable workout clothes.
- Your favorite yoga DVD.
- If you prefer doing your own flow of poses, pack some relaxing music instead.
- An eye pillow to help you relax in Savasana at the end of your practice.
Fit's Tips: If you do have a little free time, find out if there's a yoga studio in the area. I always love to try out new teachers and different kinds of yoga, so find out what their holiday schedule is to see if you can sneak in a class.

"Their acceptance," Mr. Arnow said, "adds further strength and prestige to a distinguished representative Board and deepens the JTA relationship with the American Jewish communities."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
What I want to do is aggregate news posts (title + excerpt) from multiple blogs. I want my visitors to be able to submit their own blogs for the site, where I'd be able to approve or deny them. Obviously I'm looking for something automated so I wouldn't have to manually add every feed, but rather simply approve it and it would be added into the news.
Also the site should list a dynamic list of blogs that the news are being aggregated from, and of course the news themselves sorted by date.
I have thought of using something simple like Yahoo! Pipes with a simple PHP-based RSS parser, but that would mean a lot of manual work.
Do you know any CMS that would be suited for my needs with minimal customization (since I'm not a programmer)?

Instructional League Report #1
The instructional league is extremely difficult to scout, particularly in Florida. From teams being spread all over the place, to the changing game schedules, to players getting limited appearances, instructs can challenge the most experienced of scouts. I've been here many times, and I've come to expect certain things. I've come to expect schedule changes, which I certainly found on this trip. I've come to expect the Toronto Blue Jays to play an incredibly aggressive style of ball, which they certainly did. I've come to expect a roasting hot sun and temperatures that make scouts wilt, which I found this time with my stopwatch literally melting in my left hand. I've experienced a lot the last few days and it's time to share my notes with you.

Thanks for this Mark, Lugo was a guy I didn't really know a lot about. Where do you think the Jays should start Davis next year? A full-season assignment might be aggressive, but with the new signing deadline he was able to get more games under his belt this season than he probably would have last year. What are the chances he starts the year in Lansing?
Oct 16, 2012 10:54 AM
While it might be aggressive, I'd like to see Davis challenged with an assignment to Lansing.

A Year After Shooting, Gabrielle Giffords To Resign
Over the weekend, beloved Arizona representative Gabrielle Giffords announced she will leave Congress to focus on her health. Her resignation comes nearly a year to the day after Giffords was shot in the head during a deadly shooting rampage that claimed the lives of six people at an event in Tucson, Arizona. In the video announcement, Giffords admitted, "I don't remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice. Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery. So to do what is best for Arizona, I will step down this week."
Giffords' incredible post-shooting recovery — and the love affair between she and her astronaut husband Mark Kelly — was pretty tearjerking. Not that we were crying while watching this video or anything. [YouTube]

The 'Much Ado About Nothing' helmer also hints at a villain that didn't make the final cut in the first film, but might 'crop up another time.'
On Tuesday, December 18, Joss Whedon presented his blockbuster giant film "The Avengers" during a special screening event hosted by the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood. Whedon was also on hand to answer in-depth questions about the massively successful superhero flick, teasing which characters that didn't make the final cut but could end up appearing in "The Avengers 2".
Whedon spilled the beans that Janet Van Dyne a.k.a the Wasp was initially featured in the script, while admitting that he hesitated to include Black Widow instead. "There was a little bit of time where we thought we might not actually get Scarlett [Johansson]," the New Yorker said. "There was a very Waspy draft that I wrote. But it was way too Waspy. I was like, 'She's adorable! I'm just going to watch her!' "
The "Much Ado About Nothing" helmer also dished that he originally had a plan to add another villain beside Loki, but he wouldn't reveal who was the bad guy because the character might end up appearing in the sequel. "I'm not going to tell you [who it is]," he insisted, "because that person might crop up another time."
"But I definitely felt like, 'I've got Earth's mightiest heroes. I've got four of the biggest, baddest, toughest guys out there and I've got one effete British character actor.' They believed very strongly that they didn't want to add any more mythology, I think was the thing," he continued.
Whedon didn't reveal too much of his plan for the 2015 sequel, but he did tease that there could be some member changes within the Avengers team in order to stay true to the comics. "I used to read 'The Avengers' and part of the ethos of the team was that it changed their lineup every month," he explained.
"Their 150th issue was just a bunch of faces. 'Who will be in the team now?!' We had the first issue as a poster in the offices. Now that I'm working on the sequel I said, 'Let's the second issue up there! Let's change it up a little bit!' The second issue is 'Introducing... Giant-Man!' And this character! They were already changing it up after one issue. That's what they always do."
Whedon will return to direct "Avengers 2", which is slated for a May 1, 2015 release Stateside.

OCC's help to new business draws audience ire
Approval by Oconee County of ordinances to give a financial boost to a hotel project nearing completion in Seneca received unanimous support last night at the council table, but dissent from within the meeting audience. It prompted District One's Paul Corbeil to issue an explanation. "There are no Oconee County general fund or economic development dollars being paid to the developers of this property," Corbeil said referring to the project to build the Hampton Inn and Suites on Seneca's E. N. 1st Street." But that's not how three people see it. The managers of two existing Seneca motels cried foul. And Britt Adams, a conservative citizen activist, was the first to speak about this during last night's public comment part of the council meeting.

I've had a weird pain in my hips, lower back, extending down my left leg for ages. It's even affected my gait causing me to overpronate, hurting my medial lateral ligament and causing major tightness in my calf muscle. I knew it wasn't serious, but it has majorly affected my speed, much to my annoyance! Turns out it's Piriformis syndrome or 'fat wallet syndrome' (why does it not surprise me that the thing I have has a stupid name?). It means, for whatever reason, the piriformis muscle is impinging on my sciatic nerve.
In 17% of the population, the sciatic nerve passes through the piriformis muscle, rather than underneath it, so overuse of this muscle or tightness can cause compression/irriation of sciatic nerve. It seems, typically I am one of those 17%. Why couldn't I be the 1% of the population with some amazing skill?! 😦
The only way I can describe the pain is as though somebody has punched my left butt cheek! 🙂 Ibuprofen (for which I took copious amounts for the marathon) seems to help to reduce the pain, but what eventually happens is that my left side becomes incredibly stiff and my stride becomes narrow as I'm unable to lift my leg properly. 10ks seem to be fine, but further distances I really struggle at.
So, for now I'm going to have to sit on a tennis ball and try and free up the nerve, take anti-inflammatories and do lots of yoga, pilates (to strengthen the core) and extra stretching. I'm still going to run, but no more long distances, just lots of 5 and 10ks at least over the coming weeks.

U.S. Top Jamaica 3-1 Behind Two Goals from Beasley
• Beasley Notches Two Goals and Assist in Dominating Win
• U.S. Improves All-time Record Against Jamaica to 9-0-7
• USA-Honduras Will Meet in Tournament Semifinals on Thursday in New Jersey
FOXBORO, Mass. (July 16, 2005) — The U.S. Men's National Team dominated Jamaica from the opening whistle this afternoon to advance to the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals with a 3-1 victory at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. DaMarcus Beasley notched two goals and an assist to pave the way to victory in front of 22,108 fans. The U.S. will now face Honduras in the tournament semifinals on Thursday (July 21) at 6 p.m. ET live on Telefutura from Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. (Check out the Gold Cup competition section here.)
"I think we played well today," said U.S. Manager Bruce Arena, now 61-25-23 all-time in seven years at the helm of the United States. "It was our best game of the tournament. We were able to get a little closer to having our starting group in there and I think they did well. They were technically good passing the ball, (and we had) good quickness. If we're to be faulted for anything, I think we were pretty sloppy in dealing with the game when it was 2-0 at halftime. However, at the end of the day, 3-1 is a good result and we look forward to playing Honduras in New Jersey."
U.S. forward Josh Wolff started off the scoring for the U.S. with a redirected flick past Jamaican goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts in the sixth minute. It was Beasley who pounced on a ball from John O'Brien and fired a dangerous shot on goal that Wolff was able to misdirect into the net with his back to the goal. The original goal-scoring attack began with a pre-planned short corner between Donovan and Beasley, a tactic that would be utilized all day by the USA.
The opening assist from Beasley moved him into the tournament lead with four in four games and marked the beginning of an active game for the U.S. midfielder who was playing up top against Jamaica alongside Wolff and Steve Ralston.
"It turned out exactly like we wanted," said Beasley. "We knew that they get disorganized in the back. And we wanted to utilize Steve Ralston and myself on the flanks. We had a lot of space and when we attacked down the flanks the middle opened up. Our game plan worked perfectly."
A minute after the first goal, the USA's early cushion almost disappeared. With Ricardo Fuller gaining possession near the endline, he was able to cut back toward the six-yard box, bump into Greg Vanney and earn a penalty call from referee Carlos Batres of Guatemala. On the ensuing attempt, U.S. goalkeeper Kasey Keller once again provided the heroics, leaping to his left to deny the low drive from Andy Williams.
The game quickly came to life after that, with both teams aggressively pursuing the attack. The USA's front seven seemed particularly in sync, weaving through an often-packed Jamaican defense with fluid combinations on both flanks. On the defensive end, the U.S. backline were cohesive throughout the half, displaying tight marking and excellent timing on tackles, consistently thwarting the efforts of Ricardo Fuller and Luton Shelton.
During the half, Jamaica picked up a succession of yellow cards, with Jermaine Hue being booked for obstructing the run of Ralston on a one-two combination in the 20th minute. Then just a minute later, Steve Cherundolo was the victim of a brutal studs-up challenge by Damion Stewart that easily could have warranted a red card. Forced to leave the game with a possible knee sprain, Cherundolo was added to an already-crowded injury list on the U.S. backline (which includes Eddie Pope and Tony Sanneh, as well as midfielder Brad Davis).
The U.S. kept knocking on the door during the strong first half, and their efforts paid off just before the 45-minute mark when the U.S. doubled their lead. A nifty combination with Ben Olsen, Ralston and Donovan concluded with Donovan bearing towards goal. He slid a masterful pass to the onrushing Beasley, whose perfectly-timed delayed run outpaced his marker and allowed him to easily fire past a naked Ricketts. The goal moved Beasley into double digits in career strikes for the U.S., and he ended the day with 11 total goals in 49 career international caps. The diminutive midfielder also has three goals and four assists for the U.S. in eight games in 2005.
The U.S. remained aggressive from the opening whistle of the second half, with Wolff nearly grabbing his second of the game in the 49th minute. After a sharp chip from the right flank from Olsen, Donovan skillfully played a ball to Beasley with the outside of his right foot. Beasley sent a skimmer across the goalmouth just out of the reach of Wolff for what would have been an easy tap in.
Jamaica's chances improved markedly in the 58th minute, as Ben Olsen was forced to pull down Andy Williams at the top of the box, who was otherwise alone against Keller. Khari Stephenson took the resulting free kick, curling a shot past the wall and a diving Keller, only to hang his head after the ball clanged off the right post.
The Reggae Boyz quickly turned up the heat, finding space down both flanks in which to serve crosses and take on defenders. Andy Williams took advantage down the right side in the 63rd minute, getting in behind DaMarcus Beasley, only to pull his shot from 12 yards past the far post.
In the 66th minute, Keller made an amazing snare of an attempted cross from Shelton, diving quickly to his right to get down low and confidently possess the ball despite the proximity of the Jamaican forwards attempt from just six yards away. Shelton was able to cut around Onyewu at the endline, with the big U.S. defender wisely avoiding any contact on a play that would have surely ended in a penalty for Jamaica had there been any.
On Keller's immediate outlet, the game changed again with Jamaica's Jermaine Taylor being sent off for a reckless tackle on Beasley right in front of the fourth official's table.
With the team's even again, the pace of the game slowed considerably in the final quarter hour, as both sides felt the effects of the summer heat. But the U.S. clearly had some energy in reserve, and could have been up three goals with 15 minutes to play. A steal in the midfield sprung a three-on-two break, with Donovan leading the charge down the left side. Entering the area, he spied Ralston on a trailing run, bouncing a pass to the center of the box. With a clear look at goal, Ralston slammed a volley inches above the crossbar.
Another strong attempt from the U.S. would end in the third goal, this time Donovan breaking into the area by himself, rounding Ricketts, but wisely pulling the ball back and waiting for his teammates to rejoin him after he was unable to get off a quick shot. When the U.S. attack resumed, Chris Armas was able to battle into the left side of the area with the ball and played a perfect square pass to Beasley. Beasley tried to control the ball with his first touch, but it nicked off the foot of Ricketts and nestled onto the grass where an easy left-footed finish awaited for his second goal of the match.
Ricardo Fuller finally got the high-scoring Jamaicans on the board in the 88th minute with an unchallenged finish in the area that left Keller with nary a chance to preserve his third shutout of the 2005 Gold Cup.
A fourth U.S. goal in the 93rd minute seemed like a lock after John O'Brien earned a penalty kick for the United States with a strong dribbling run into the area that resulted in a foul from Garfield Reid. However, Donovan's late attempt beat Ricketts, but couldn't beat the crossbar as it whistled just a little high and out of play.
"It was crazy we didn't score more goals," added Beasley. "We could have had four or five, six maybe. We had a lot of chances, but at the same time, we are starting to get more creative options. Hopefully we can keep moving in the right direction of creating chances and scoring goals."
The USA is now 9-0-7 lifetime against Jamaica, amazingly having never lost in 16 career meetings dating back to 1988. Of those 16 matches, 10 have come in either Gold Cup or World Cup qualifying play.
The U.S. will relocate to New Jersey on Monday for the tournament semifinals against Honduras on Thursday. The other semifinal match-up will be finalized on Sunday when Mexico faces Colombia and Panama takes on South Africa.

Exhibitionists who like to feel more than the wind in their hair rejoice - nude cruises are coming to Australia.
The Bare Necessities Tour and Travel Company, a US-based group that has chartered nude cruises around the world since 1991, will be visiting Australia for the first time in February.
The Clipper Odyssey - a motor vessel that is more than 100 metres long - will carry 128 nudists from the US, Canada, Hawaii, Central America and Australia. The cruise will start in Sydney on February 23 and travel up the coast to Cairns, ending on March 6.
Bare Necessities founder Nancy Tiemann said one reason Australia was chosen as a destination was because it is regarded internationally as being naturist friendly.
"We chose Australia for its natural beauty, and how that lent itself so much to what we are all about - nature and the beauty of the unadorned in nature."
West Australian naturist Les Rootsey went on a Mediterranean cruise with the company while he was in the US, and plans to be on board the Clipper Odyssey next year.
"There has never been a nudist cruise this big in Australia," he said.
Mr Rootsey, publisher of Australian Naturist Magazine, says nude holidays are more intimate. "When people are nude they are a lot more friendly. You meet a lot of people, and when you are together on a boat and everyone is nude then you are friendly with people almost straight away."
Nudist Association of Victoria president Werner Jacob agrees. "You are what you are, and you can't hide anything. And what you are talking about, well, that becomes more important than what you are wearing or what you look like."
Ms Tiemann said cruises were the perfect vacationing vessel for nudists. "It gives us the privacy to do what we do and enjoy the sun and the sea and all of that without imposing on people who are not nudists," she said.
Although Australians will receive a discount of 30 per cent, the cruise will cost upwards of $7000.
Ms Tiemann admits this is probably too expensive for first-time nudists.
"My advice for anybody thinking about taking the plunge into social nude recreation is to visit a local club or beach that caters for clothing-optional use."
But Ms Tiemann said that once you embarked on a nude cruise you would never look back.
"The human form is a beautiful thing - no matter what the age, no matter what the scar or imperfections. It is comforting to learn that."

What you'll need:
- Nupastels, either a set (our sets range from 12-96 pastels) or individual colors of your choice, for this tutorial I used lighter shades to stick with the Spring theme
- A metal blade or plastic knife
- A few disposable cups or plastic containers, filled with water
- Paper towels
- Premier Brush|Fine Art Markers in pastel colors like Pink (PB-8), Cerulean Blue (PB-126), and Canary Yellow (PB-19)
- Egg shapes cut from a variety of papers (I created an egg pattern for tracing & cutting the egg shape)
To create my egg pattern, I first used a circle cutter and cut a circle from copy paper. Then I folded it in half and drew half an egg shape to help guide my scissors. Unfold, and voila! You have your egg pattern to help guide you in creating more eggs on different papers.
After you get all your eggs cut out and ready to go, lay down a paper towel and place your water cup on top, as things may get a little messy! Then, choose a pastel from your color assortment and rub the edge of your blade or knife along the side, scraping pigment into the water cup.
Depending on preference, you can add multiple colors into one water cup to create unique color blends, or you can use separate water cups to stick with one shade at a time.
Then, dip your egg into the cup. You now have colored your first egg! Lay it out on a paper towel for drying.
Continue this process and mix up your color assortments. Remember, you can always pour out the water and start over if you don't like the way an egg turned out.
Here are some of the eggs I created:
After your eggs are completely dry, you can decorate them with Premier Brush|Fine Art Markers. Try creating unique designs on top of your colored paper. The Brush|Fine Art Markers will help you create strokes like a paint brush.
Once you're completely finished designing your eggs, there are many ways you can use them. You can hide them around the house (tape a dollar to the back for a more aggressive egg hunt). Or, you could hole punch the top and add a decorative ribbon or cord to make name tags for Easter baskets.
You can even create holiday cards by using a photo card holder. I inserted Easter grass and used a glue stick to create a pile of eggs on the left. On the right, I cut slits in green paper to simulate grass and tucked an egg in the grass, then added a butterfly brad, as well as sequin tape to finish off the card.
As you can see, the possibilities are endless. And they don't stop with Spring. You can create your very own decorative paper using this same tutorial!

Community Housing Partners is hosting an information session regarding the Dora Highway Revitalization Project on Monday from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Hensel Eckman YMCA.
Part of the revitalization project includes the construction of six single-family detached homes valued at $115,000 to $125,000 each. The houses will be sold to local families at or below 80 percent of the median area income.
All six lots for construction have been secured and interested applicants can go to the session on Monday to review locations and determine eligibility for application.
CHP will provide down payment and closing cost assistance to the six families that purchase the homes, thus making homeownership affordable. The amount of assistance offered is dependent upon income. A qualified homebuyer with moderate income could receive down payment assistance that would reduce the total cost of the home to $70,000 while qualified applicants with higher incomes would receive less assistance.
"Most people dream of owning their own home; but some believe that dream is out of their reach," said Terry Vaughn, CHP Home Ownership Specialist. "This program can make that dream a reality with the down payment and closing cost assistance available to qualified applicants. I encourage citizens interested in homeownership to attend this informational outreach at the Pulaski YMCA."
Interested homebuyers should contact CHP and complete intake paperwork that assesses income, debt, and assets.
The homebuyers are required to have mortgage ready credit ratings and are required to complete mortgage education classes.

From MPR's Matt Sepic…
Donald Trump dipped his toe back into presidential politics this evening, headlining a telephone town hall forum with GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Supporters of the Minnesota Republican's presidential campaign called in with questions. However Bachmann made it clear at the start that Trump was not endorsing her.
The two stuck to themes popular with conservatives: curbing illegal immigration from Mexico, repealing President Obama's health care overhaul and cutting taxes and regulation.
Trump reiterated his fear about China's growing economic and military might.
"We don't have the right leadership," Trump said. " We're really falling badly. By 2016 or sooner China will overtake us economically. Hard to believe. It would have been impossible to even say that ten years ago."
Trump was referring to an International Monetary Fund report that predicts China's share of the global economy will surpass the United States in five years.
Trump sidestepped a question as to whether he would be willing to be Bachmann's running mate.
Bachmann stuck to many of her key talking points on the call including building a fence along the southern U.S. border, repealing the federal health care law and expanding oil drilling in the U.S.
You can listen to a large part of the conference call here:

Stock to Sell #6 – Sony (SNE)
Sony (SNE) is recognized worldwide as a quality electronics equipment manufacturer. However, the consumer electronics industry is saturated with products, and weak consumer spending and a lack of revolutionary products is driving sales and profits lower. On Oct. 31, the company reported worse-than-expected quarterly results, causing S&P to lower earnings estimates and cut its price target.
The stock responded by crushing support at its 200-day moving average at $19. It opened a breakaway gap on very high volume and its MACD flashed a major sell signal.
SNE could have a reaction rally back to $18-plus, but shareholders should use any rally as a selling opportunity. Selling at the current price is also warranted. No support is obvious, but it appears that the stock could fall to the low teens.

Shooting Blue is the Warmest Color was a long baptism by fire
TORONTO—You've probably already heard that Blue Is the Warmest Colour contains several explicitly erotic scenes, including one between the two very appealing leads, both of whom are women in their early 20s. But that wouldn't be the reason that this year's Cannes jury, led by Steven Spielberg, gave it their blessing, right?
Of course not. Opening on Friday (November 8), Blue Is the Warmest Colour (more appropriately called, in French, La vie d'Adèle, chapitres 1 & 2) is a three-hour coming-of-age character study from Tunisian-French actor-director and screenwriter Abdellatif Kechiche. But when a film is consumed by its own publicity machine, a kind of fatigue can set in. Which was, presumably, the situation when actors Adèle Exarchopoulos (Adèle) and Léa Seydoux (Emma) joined the Georgia Straight for an interview in a Toronto hotel room during the Toronto Film Festival.
Having just told a TIFF news conference, yet again, their story about the relentlessness of the shoot and the attendant relentlessness of their director, they clearly don't want to revisit these topics again. Exarchopoulos, who calls herself "a novice" despite having a dozen film and TV credits before Blue, never stops texting throughout the entire interview. Seydoux, an experienced actor who is French film-industry royalty and the new face of Prada, never sits down.
Both women said they were brought back to the film—which neither had seen since May, in Cannes—by the previous night's screening. "I try not to judge myself any longer, because the film is out there and I want to let the performances live. It's up to people to see what they want to see," said Exarchopoulos, speaking, like Seydoux, in French. "Sure, there were hard things during the shoot. Doing a film with Abdel is a baptism by fire.
"There were highs and lows; it was not conventional. For one thing, there was no hairstylist or makeup artist, no hierarchy, no blocking, no sets, and no schedule. And it lasted six months. We would just walk around in the street and he [Kechiche] would push me into a restaurant and say, 'Go eat. And cry at the same time.' To have as much freedom as that to find the character's passions and vulnerabilities can be exhausting. But it's a human adventure. From the beginning to end, I feel like I really captured this person's life. And that's an accomplishment."
Speaking of vulnerabilities: are they really all that surprised that people are talking about the sex scenes? "It's just that whenever we do talk about anything, people twist what we say and reduce everything we say to have some kind of shock value," Seydoux answered. "So, really, we don't want to talk about it anymore."
Exarchopoulos seemed willing to reconsider, however. "Look, I'm sure Abdel knew what he was doing," she offered. "He knew people would talk. But it also fits with the style of the film. He chose to film our sex scenes the same way he filmed us eating spaghetti. Sometimes it was lame, sometimes delicious, sometimes pretty, sometimes ugly. That's how he films things: in great detail. He was never going to do a conventional sex scene with good lighting and covers strewn about strategically."
The thing to do, Seydoux added, is to stop talking and go watch the film. She's right about that.

Zombies, Run!
by: Six to Start • 11.8K
All Android applications categories
by: Six to Start • 11.8K
Published: 2014-05-20, by Manu Galvez.
All who know me know that I'm a frustrated Z-film scriptwriter who channels his Z-frustration fiercely criticizing those Z-films he doesn't like and singing the praises of those which are worse but he likes better. By the way, I write now and then about z-stuff, to the point of wasting two AndroidZoom articles in it a time ago (here and there)
Of course, I have an AppsZoom alert with the word "zombie" written in caps, so every time a new z-whatever app is born I get an email at the end of the week with it. That's how I find Zombies, Run! And that's how I was scared when I saw it's sold for 7,50$. In addition, workout and me fell out months ago, so if zombiemaggedon were going to be tomorrow, I'd be considered slightly more than zombie breakfast.
However, I have always liked to have the role of the survivor who not only saves his life, but also helps other survivors and, thanks to the united skills of all the team -leaded by moi- create an oasis of life in the midst of an undead sea. By the way, the blonde amazon would fall in love with me and...well, you know the film. If not, ask Romero.
Zombies, Run is worth its price only if you need motivation. If you are an innate jogger (oxymoron) you won't need this app, save your bucks for your next trainers instead. Howsoever, if you want to run but your favorite sentence is "joggin' for jogging's sake is nonsense" here's your app. It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, the only required condition is that you are alive and are willing to continue that way.
Zombies, Run! comes with 30 workout routines, each one in the form of a mission. As you jog, you receive orders and listen to events happening around you. You get virtual items (as in a geocatching game) and, once you get home, you can spend them to improve your base. By "items" we also mean survivors or stuff. You can play your own music or choose it from some given tracks.
I don't know if the price and zombie combo are incentive enough to stop putting off your eternal New Year resolution. I love it, and I'd like there were more missions, because I don't know if I will continue jogging once I save mankind. Fortunately, missions are replayable. I'd also like that it wasn't an absolute battery drainer, but that's endemic of GPS based apps (in the end, if you were to go out into a z-infected city, you will make sure your device runs full of battery, won't you?). Don't forget your headphones and thank the developer when you win the next neighborhood race.
