The Women's Professional Soccer Championship will be contested in Rochester, NY, as the Philadelphia Independence come to Sahlen's Stadium to take on the Western New York Flash. The game will feature some of the best women's soccer players in the world.

She's one of the top five women's players in the league for the 2011 season. She is... Christine Sinclair.

She might actually be a better all-around player than her teammates; this season, she netted 10 goals and leads the WPS in assists with eight. Sinclair is Canada's all-time leading goal scorer. In addition to having played in two World Cup tournaments, she won a WPS title last year and NCAA titles while at the University of Portland.

Too soon for gay rights advocate, cyclist, dad, leader, partner and awesome soul Jack Layton.

This is what gay men really look like... even in Canada. Read about this project here, via Gawker.

Congrats, Helem Montreal and all other winners...

There was a corporate award, but we don't care much about that, do we?

Jef Barbara's European tour has kicked off! Jef says that he was treated like shit in Brussels by promoters who reneged on the deal to pay them and provide accommodations. They said that his music sucks! Whatever. There's different strokes out there, buddy.

This new track, recorded with oRCondor, is a cover of R Stevie Moore's "Irony," and it premieres on Sick of the Radio.
