Union, however, could not sustain any pressure in the Crimson zone until there was one minute left in the man advantage. Dutchman leading point scorer Jeff Hutchins took a huge turnaround shot in the slot through a screen that Jonas kicked aside. Its top goal scorer, Jeff Wilson, was there on the doorstep for the rebound, but somehow Jonas had an answer for that as well...

Popcap is a three-man company run out of an apartment in Seattle. John Vechey, 22, its business manager, says the company is already profitable, making money two ways in the face of the dotcom downturn: from advertisements that flash on your screen while you play, and through licensing fees that other companies pay Popcap to use its games on their sites.

Easy solution: lower the standard for what's "normal" for blood drawn...
