Darlington Nagbe ended his season-long scoring drought in spectacular fashion, and after Lamar Neagle equalized for Seattle right before halftime, the floodgates opened for Portland with a late brace from Fanendo Adi and a stoppage-time strike from substitute Rodney Wallace in a 4-1 victory on a steamy Sunday night at raucous Providence Park.
It’s the first regular-season win over Seattle for the Timbers since Oct. 13, 2013, and it’s the first time they’ve beaten their northern rivals in two straight matches (all competitions) since they dispatched of them in the Western Conference semifinals of the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs. In the US Open Cup match at Seattle’s Starfire Stadium on June 16, three Sounders were ejected in an extratime thriller.
The win not only moves Portland (8-6-4) back above the red line in the Western Conference and into a tie with the LA Galaxy for third place. Seattle (9-7-2), who were without star forwards Clint Dempsey (suspension) and Obafemi Martins (groin injury) and midfielder Osvaldo Alonso, sit just one point above Portland and LA in the table.
The fact that Seattle were without their attacking stars showed. Portland controlled the action in the first half, firing off 11 shots, six on target.
Unfortunately for the future of the world, the effort to find life-threatening Near Earth Objects appears to be floundering due to organizational and funding challenges.

In November, BMG Music and Round Hill Music did what some copyright holders have long threatened: they sued a large ISP, Cox Communications, seeking to hold it responsible for the piracy taking place on its network.
Cox wasn't forwarding infringement notices sent out by Rightscorp, the digital copyright enforcer BMG and Round Hill had hired to send out millions of notices. (That company famously offers to settle copyright claims for $20 per song.) By effectively protecting determined pirates on its system, Cox was violating copyright law, BMG lawyers argue.
It's a case that has potentially big ramifications, and it's a gamble for the music publisher plaintiffs. If a judge finds Cox liable for the actions of users on its network, it will have implications for the whole cable industry. If a ruling goes the other way, the little leverage that an anti-piracy outfit like Rightscorp has could evaporate.
A small plane crashed into a house Sunday evening, killing three people on board, police said, but residents managed to flee as fire engulfed the home.
The Beechcraft BE36 aircraft crashed into the house at about 5:45 p.m. Sunday, said Jim Peters of the Federal Aviation Administration. It had taken off from Lancaster Airport in Pennsylvania and was headed to Norwood Memorial Airport in Massachusetts.
Fire crews extinguished the blaze nearly three hours after the crash in Plainville, about 30 miles southwest of Boston, said Massachusetts State Police spokesman Dave Procopio. He said the residents escaped and two adults and a juvenile in the plane were killed.
The plane wound up behind the two-story colonial, where a section of the tail and a charred wing rested on a hillside in the yard.
The end of Downton Abbey, in which all the characters will wake up in some sort of afterlife reality and slowly meet up at a different abbey before going off into heaven (it’s a Lost joke), is fast approaching, and series creator Julian Fellowes is getting ready to move on to his next project—NBC’s American Downton Abbey, The Gilded Age. However, in light of Better Call Saul and revivals like the new X-Files, we know that shows that appear to be over are never actually over, and Fellowes acknowledged that in a recent Variety interview.
When Variety asked Fellowes how he feels as his show is ending, he at first offered the usual stuff about how far he and the people who work on the show have come over the years, especially with how famous some of the actors have become, and he says that he feels ...
'PARIS--The suspect behind an attack at an industrial gas plant in France on Friday took a photo of himself with the severed head of his victim and shared it with a Canadian phone number through a messaging service, French police said Sunday, leaving investigators probing whether he coordinated his attack with militant groups.'
Super Opinionated.
