Your thoughts, as always, are much appreciated.]]>
With Abreu and Sale on the team, Mr. Hahn has some good lures when talking with free agents, doesn't he? "We've got probably the best left-hander in the American League, and we have the Rookie of the Year. Come join us."
Here's a cray thought: Call Lester out in Oakland. Tell him he stays in the AL for a sweet salary. Imagine Lester and Sale. What a 1-2 punch on the mound.]]>
San Francisco has won three World Series in five seasons. Nice streak. Good to see. Classy organization. Think of all those years out there with Willie Mays and Willie McCovey when they did not win one World Series. I'm happy for the franchise and their fans.
After the White Sox, I'd say my fave teams in MLB are the Giants and Cardinals. Two top-notch franchises who deliver the goods. Of course, given the track record, the Giants will not be doing this again until 2016, LOL.]]>
The Cubs? Ozzie Guillen is the perfect fit.]]>
2. hope Seattle wins three games.
3. celebrate being the spoiler by kicking the Royals out of the playoff picture.
(We're going out to The Cell for Friday night's game. Our last chance to see the Pale Hose this season. I'm 3-3 at the ballpark this season. Love to go out with a win.)]]>
Paul Konerko was a loyal White Sox, no doubt, but I think he overstayed his welcome a year or two. What's he hitting this season? Still under .220?
Tigers or Royals? Sox can decide who wins the division. I prefer Tigers, more fun to watch them play
First year in forever the Yankees and Red Sox, one or both, are not in the playoffs. ESPN must be crying. FOX, too.
Don't quote me, but the Cubs seem to have better young players than the White Sox. Or at least more of them. And the Cubs starters on the mound are sometimes scary good.
If the Sox had a closer, this season would have much more fun
I have a 3-3 record at The Cell this season. Game Seven is Friday night. Love to go out with a W.
People ask how I can skip Paulie's last game on Sunday. Simple. I have $162 invested in two tickets to Soldier Field. Sorry, Paulie. Bears-Packers wins.]]>
Some highlights: Sox open on road in KC on April 6 ... home opener is April 10 vs. Twins ... Yankees are here July 31-Aug. 2... Cubs visit The Cell Aug. 14-16. MLB wised up and made it a weekend series, as the Good Lord intended.]]>
I'm planning to take my Dad, 79, to the game on Thursday afternoon. Chris Sale is pitching for the White Sox. Will he strike out Adam Dunn four times? I hope so, because that means Sale is going the distance and trusting his well-being to one of the worst bullpens in MLB. How many wins has he been denied because the pen can't hold the lead?]]>
AL CENTRAL: Royals lead Detroit by 1.5 and the Tribe by 5.5. Can the Royals hang on? They have a good young team, but the Tigers have the chops. I'll take DETROIT ROCK CITY.
AL EAST: Orioles lead the Yankees by 6 and Toronto by 9. Gotta think the Orioles have a good shot at hanging on, then they lost three straight to the Cubs, which tells me they are doomed YANKEES.
AL WEST: What a dogfight! Angels and A's neck and neck. Mariners in shouting distance. I said in July that the A's can win it all. I'll stick with OAKLAND.
Wildcards: Angels and Orioles.
NL CENTRAL: Two of my fave non-Chicago teams, the Cards and Brewers, are one game apart. Pirates are 5.5 out. Pitt dug too deep a hole. I think it' a tie for first place with a one-game playoff Winner? the home team.
NL EAST: Nats lead Braves by 7.5 games and have been on cruise control. Stick with WASHINGTON
NL WEST: SF was in control, now the Dodgers are top dawgs. I still think the Giants will find a way to make it tighter, but stick with L.A.
Wildcards: Brewers or Cardinals and the Giants.]]>

News & Insight
The Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation was established in 2012 to help curb the kind of alcohol-fuelled violence that robbed Thomas Kelly of his life
Auditor-General's Report to Parliament
Counting the cost of alcohol abuse
The NSW Government does not estimate or report the total cost of alcohol abuse. The Audit Office of New South Wales' sponsored research estimates it costs the government over $1 billion a year, or around $416 from each NSW household.
"If social costs are included, the total cost of alcohol abuse in New South Wales is around $3.87 billion per annum, or about $1,565 from each household," said Mr Achterstraat.
Uniting a city to make it safer for all of us.
We are so grateful for the support of the City of Sydney, NSW State Government, Salvation Army & St, Vincent's Hospital. Read the article here.
Ralph Kelly and the Foundation was invited to submit a proposal and present to the NSW State Government into further measures to reduce alcohol and drug violence. Wednesday 04th September, 2014. Read more and download the inquiry submission.

Deviantart originally started as a place for me to have fun with my art, so expect to see a lot of fan art posted here. A lot of my work is digital, but I also enjoy making traditional art from time to time. I also attempt to make animations/gifs (see the word attempt there). I don't really post much artwork here anymore, but recently I've started to upload writings/reviews, which I'm trying to improve on. I hope to become inspired to make more artwork to post again in the near future. I'm fairly easy to get along with, so if you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to message me.
You can also find me on Tumblr (I come and go there) if you're interested. However, I don't really post artwork there, it's mostly just for metal music, horror related stuff, and other nonsense. resurrectiondreams.tumblr.com/

When I use

Alternatively, does anyone have a macro to close all open

... she is now retired, which is true, and that anyway, 'daddy' didn't want to travel in China xD
It makes the guy laugh.
3rd stop: We decide to stop where we're not supposed to and pay extra to go and see the cormoran fishing. I've seen in on documentaries about China (BBC's Wild China, for anyone interested, a series of 6 truly beautiful documentaries about the Middle Kingdom) and really want to see it live. However, it is a big disappointment, as we supposedly ...
Yunnan - Ancient City of Dali & Three Pagodas
... occupied only a small area but Buddhist temples occupied the largest area to the rear of the pagodas. We were mainly interested in the three pagodas and their reflections in a pond and skip most of the temples, including the Buddha City (佛都), which was crowded with tour groups. The afternoon was short and night fell quickly. We had tom yam steamboat at a newly-setup restaurant named Rainbow Bean (彩虹豆). They offered a special ...
Kung Fu King
So now it's been made official. After two weeks learning Kung Fu, I've been reclassified as a lethal weapon. I have now developed such earth shattering abilities such as walking with a rock on my head and shouting "Hhheeeeiiiiyah" really loudly. Scary I know!
The temple's beautiful, it's on the side of the misty Cangshan Mountain and is really peaceful. ...
Two weeks in the Chinese highlands
... typically rise steadily to a crest, from which they descend again, unlike the up, down, up, down that seems to be the way in most other countries. Of course this makes for long and winding ascents, but there was probably no option for Yunnan, which is about as hilly as Laos (i.e. very!). Myth no. 2: Chinese roads are terrible.
Late in the day, I spot a small town buffet where I get hearty portions of rice, tofu and greens for 3 yuan (US 45c), and I eat well and takeaway ...
Dislocated Knees and Jail TIme

The sun was coming through the through the clouds onto the mountains creating a scene fit for a painting. First Elliot climbed off the patio onto the tiled roof to get a better shot, then I ran up to meet him, then there were ten of us standing on the slanted tiled roof of the four story hotel... just ...

When the idea of a governmentwide contract for long-distance telecommunications first surfaced in the late 1980s, it was met with both excitement and concern. It was to be a proving ground to see if government could really use its volume buying power to drive down rates, but it also meant changing from government-owned to industry-owned equipment.
The first two contracts — FTS 2000 and FTS 2001 — performed as hoped, and as agencies moved to the more advanced offerings, costs did indeed come down and capability increased.
Networx is the third generation of telecom contracts to be administered by the General Services Administration. Now halfway through its contract period, Networx is experiencing different challenges in getting agencies to transition to the new vendors and the new offerings.
There are a number of reasons for the difficulties. Networx is not mandatory, some of the same services are available through other GWACs, and most important, it's a complicated set of offerings and services. Agency managers are no longer simply choosing to replace a T-1 line with a T-3 line. Now there are many more decisions to be made, and agencies might not have the technical staff to evaluate some of the more complex options.
It's a fact of life that Congress asked for leanness in government staff and got it. It is also true that industry pays a lot more for technical skill sets than government does — regardless of what you might have read about comparative pay scales. So with the best of intentions, agencies have been presented with a very complicated menu at a time when they might not have employees who are capable of evaluating, selecting or implementing the choices.
A follow-on contract is already being planned. Some industry executives wonder if it's really needed. They also wonder if the lessons learned from Networx will frame the new acquisition so it won't suffer from the same growing pains as the current contract.

Administration released final rule on employee-sponsored wellness programs
Posted by Nikki Hurt on May 29, 2013
A joint rule released by the US Department of Labor (DoL), the US Department of the Treasury (DoT), and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) addresses new provisions regarding participatory wellness programs in the workplace. Workplace wellness programs are designed to reduce the prevalence of chronic disease, stifle growing health care costs, and improve overall health by rewarding employees for participating in certain activities, such as educational classes or obtaining memberships to fitness centers. The final rule sets the maximum reword for completion of a nondiscriminatory health-contingent wellness program to 30% of coverage costs, up from the original 20%. Employees that successfully complete tobacco-related wellness programs are eligible for up to 50% of cost of coverage.

Health Information Implications of the 2014 HHS Budget
Posted by Nikki Hurt on
On April 10, 2013, President Obama released his proposed FY 2014 budget, which includes $967.3 billion in outlays for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and makes legislative proposals that would save an estimated $361.1 billion (net) over ten years. In conjunction with the release of the President's budget, HHS published an overview of the budget provisions for HHS, which provides more detail on how the Department would allocate its budget in FY 2014 and describes its ongoing progress in meeting specific program goals and legislative requirements. Many of the proposals included in the President's budget and HHS' overview relate to the ongoing transformation of the health care delivery system to a value-based system that rewards quality and efficiency. Critical to the success of this transformation is the exchange of health information for activities such as quality measurement and reporting, value-based purchasing, consumer engagement, and comparative effectiveness research. Below are selected provisions of the HHS budget, the agency's relevant legislative proposals for 2014, and progress reports for health care system reform efforts that require the use and exchange of health information. We also identify HHS' stated priorities for 2014 that are related to health information…

Jackson Hewitt explores issue of "unbanked" Americans gaining ACA insurance coverage
Posted by Nikki Hurt on May 24, 2013
A new study released by Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. describes an issue that may arise when uninsured individuals without bank accounts enroll into the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) health insurance Exchanges. Uninsured + Unbanked = Unenrolled= How Health Insurance Companies May Exclude 1 in 4 Eligible Americans from ACA Coverage- and What the Federal Government Can Do to Stop It finds that one quarter of Americans eligible for federal premium subsidies under the ACA, meaning their annual income falls between 100-400% of the federal poverty level, do not have a checking account. This presents an issue in regards to the types of premium payments insurers are willing to accept, as many insurers will not take debit or credit card as a payment form. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) claimed they ameliorated this concern in their guidance letter issued last month by stating that insurance companies must "accept payment in ways that are non-discriminatory."

CCIIO releases Marketplace FAQ
Posted by Nikki Hurt on May 17, 2013
The Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), a division of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), recently posted new guidance concerning federally-facilitated and state-based Exchanges (Marketplaces) established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The guidance purports that if states do not adhere to and enforce the requisite standards for health insurance issuers in federally-facilitated Exchanges, then CMS intends to coerce enforcement through civil penalties and plan decertification. CMS does not believe that decertification will be a common occurrence. In addition, the guidance stated that qualified health plans (QHP) paired with health savings accounts (HSA) must meet the cost-sharing reduction standards that apply to low income-individuals.
CCIIO published additional guidance that expands upon which activities, in both federally-facilitated and state-based Marketplaces, that qualify for grant funding under ACA Section 1311. For instance, state-based Marketplaces are not permitted to use this funding for navigator outreach and education, yet they are allowed to use Section 1311 funds for "in-person assistance programs."

CMS releases DSH payment proposed rule
Posted by Nikki Hurt on May 14, 2013
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed rule concerning reductions to Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments. Pursuant to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the federal government had intended to cut DSH payments beginning in 2014, as the law's Medicaid expansion would negate the need for such payments. Since the Supreme Court's decision rendered Medicaid expansion optional, the federal government has elected to delay the DSH payment reduction until 2015 when they have a more accurate assessment of the nation's uncompensated care level after initial implementation of the ACA.
A fact sheet summarizing the rule can be found here.

CMS releases data on hospital charges
Posted by Nikki Hurt on May 8, 2013
In an effort to increase health care affordability and transparency, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published data pertaining to hospital charges for the 100 most common services provided during Medicare inpatient stays. With more than 163,000 entries, the data released by CMS indicated wide variation in costs, both across the country and within similar regions. For instance, a joint replacement procedure can cost $5,300 in Ada, Oklahoma, while a similar procedure may cost upwards of $223,000 in Monterey Park, California. Similarly, heart failure treatments can cost anywhere between $9,000 and $51,000 in Jackson, Mississippi. To further promote the spirit of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will also be offering grants for entities to collect and analyze medical pricing and reimbursement data to aid consumers in their health care decision-making and promoting cost-effective care.

Final Rule: Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2014
Posted by Nikki Hurt on
On March 11, 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a final rule on the Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2014. This final rule addresses a variety of issues, including the specific payment parameters for the three premium stabilization programs – the permanent risk adjustment program, the transitional reinsurance program, and the temporary risk corridors program. In addition, the final rule also covers advance payments of the premium tax credit, cost-sharing reductions, and user fees for the federally-facilitated Exchanges, specific requirements related to the federally facilitated Small Business Health Option Program (SHOP), and the medical loss ratio program. This rule finalizes the provisions set forth in HHS's proposed rule on these topics, December 7, 2012…

Interim Final Rule: Alternative Approaches to Cost-Sharing Reduction Payment and Risk Corridor Calculations
Posted by Nikki Hurt on
The temporary risk corridors program allows the federal government to share a QHP's profits or losses among other QHP issuers due to inaccurate rate setting inside the Exchanges from 2014-2016. To determine whether a QHP issuer has inaccurately set premium rates that lead to an unjustified profit or loss, a QHP's "allowable costs" must be calculated per the requirements in the Premium Stabilization Rule. The IFR modifies the definition of "allowable costs" such that a QHP's allowable costs are to be determined based on its pro-rata share of the QHP issuer's incurred claims for all non-grandfathered health plans within a state, and allocated to the QHP based on premiums earned by the issuer in the market…

Crystal @ Snowdrops Dreams of Books Contemporary Romance - THE KNIGHT AND MAGGIE'S BABY Book 3 of Fate with a Helping Hand Sometimes fate needs a little help… Billionaire, Jonah Wallace knows what it's like to grow up without love. Despite having more money than the Queen of England, his childhood was cold and stale as he grew up in boarding schools. He's dedicated his life to helping homeless and displaced children find the love and support they need by creating the Haven House Foundation, work that resulted in him being Knighted by the Queen. Now that he's living in America, his work is going along just fine…until his grandfather gives fate a little nudge by insisting he take a wife before he can inherit. Coffee shop owner, Maggie Bonelli, is pregnant and the baby's dad has gone AWOL. She knows too well the pain of growing up without a daddy. So when Jonah Wallace comes into her shop proposing marriage for a year, she takes him up on his offer, even if it's only for a year. Live in a mansion and give her baby a name and a daddy to call his/her own. But can they keep their perfect arraignment strictly business…or will fate's helping hand bring them love at last? *********Excerpt********* "Don't you think you're rushing things just a tad?" She lifted her hand and pinched her index finger and thumb together for emphasis. "I'll admit my proposal is a bit abrupt," he stammered. "A bit?" "We've only known each other--" "Forty-five minutes tops," she blurted out. "Are you out of your mind?" Her tone was incredulous. And he really didn't blame Maggie if she thought he was nuts. He felt nuts. Desperate, too. But he found himself defending his proposal. "Quite possibly. But you see, that's exactly my point. I have a bit of a time-crunch here, and it seems as though--" Maggie folded her arms across her chest. "How silly of me. Here I thought you were sweeping me off my feet." He shook his head with a chuckle. "I do sound mad, don't I?" "Recognition is the first step toward recovery." Something rumbled up from deep inside him. Jonah laughed at himself, this disastrous day, and the absurd situation he'd been forced into by his grandfather. It felt good to laugh. That in itself was incredibly surprising, considering he hadn't managed to do much laughing at all since he'd learned of the impending plans for Wiltshire. He peered at Maggie through moisture filled eyes. She wasn't laughing. But she was incredibly beautiful. Her sapphire eyes sparkled when she teased him. There were small freckles sprinkled across her nose that looked adorable with the sun shining on her creamy skin. When she looked at him the way she was right now, it didn't seem like such a crazy idea to marry her. At least not for the reasons he was proposing. He hadn't given it a second thought. And yet, now he realized just how ridiculous he looked from her eyes. "I'm not making a pass at you. Truly, I'm not." "You just asked me to marry you." "I'm asking for your help." "Again?" His lips tilted up to one side. "Again." Maggie took two steps down the stairs until they were both standing at eye level. "Forget the phone call, the nice air conditioned ride in the limo, the coffee, the pie—" "Which by the way was truly inspiring," he interjected. "If I didn't already tell you that." "You did. You don't even know me. You're asking a total stranger to marry you." He shrugged. "I know that. But I know you make me laugh." "So that's all it takes for a happy marriage? Bet we could make a killing with that book." "I sound delusional," he said. "Even to my own ears, which is pretty scary."

Best friends combine their creative talents
Date: May 21, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
In just three days, two Out-of-Door Academy fifth-graders came up with an entire screenplay about four animals — a rooster, hamster, dog and pig — that wanted to become rappers.
Katie Messeroff and Sydney Avery won the 2009 Young Playwrights Festival and WRITE A PLAY competition, an in-school arts initiative that inspires young students to be creative. Florida Studio Theatre has held the competition for the past 17 years.
Their play, "Road to Rap," was chosen from 5,400 plays submitted by playwrights throughout the United States, Israel, Russia, Scotland and China. Several actors from FST performed it live Wednesday, May 13, at ODA's Siesta Key campus, rapping, clapping and dancing and getting laughs out of everyone present.
Q&A with the playwrights
How did you come up with the idea for "Road to Rap"?
Messeroff: We put our ideas together. But, really, Maxie is my Bichon, and Cuddles is my hamster. I love animals.
Avery: I wanted to include a pig and a rooster, and I like rap.
Do you have a favorite rapper?
Avery: No, I just like it. I listen to everything.
How did you go about writing it?
Messeroff: We wrote and typed equally. It took three days. We both made up characters. I wrote one page and Sydney wrote the next.
Why did you write this play?
Avery: Our teacher, Mrs. (Martha) Gulacsy, assigned it as a project for our English class and sent the plays to Florida Studio Theatre.
Have either of you ever written rap song lyrics before?
Avery: No, we just made it up. All the actors made the sounds, like dogs barking.
Messeroff: We looked for rhymes. The first was "Rappy yappie yo, this is our show." We got help from friends.
Do you want to be writers when you grow up?
Messeroff: When I'm old I'm going to be an artist or something with animals. I have a section in my closet for my dog — 28 outfits. We just held a birthday party for my dog, actually, with presents and cake.
Avery: I have a cocker-spaniel mix named Bailey.

Editor's note: This article originally appeared in Alan's weekly Forbes column.
Last July, I wrote an article that has been my most widely read and shared Forbes column to date. It is titled "Kiss Your Boss Goodbye. It's Time To Be An Entrepreneur."
Legions of people have reached out to me since, expressing hopes, fears, and telling me about the entrepreneurial plans they would like to pursue. Some told me they've already taken the leap away from corporate positions to pursue the business ideas that are their real passion. Despite the challenges, most were glad — far and away — they had become entrepreneurs.
A letter I received this past week, however, set me completely back on my heels. Here's what someone told me:
I know you don't have any idea who I am. I'm sure you meet tons of people and many people are vying to talk to you. I just wanted to say "thank you." I live in Utah and I'm starting a business right now. I read your article "Kiss Your Boss Goodbye. It's Time to be an Entrepreneur." I was very encouraged to realize I was doing exactly what your article said to do. As I was developing a plan, my brother-in-law told me about your regional "Concept to Company" business competition for mobile apps, so I entered. I was fortunate enough to take runner-up and I was able to speak at the Crowd Pitch segment of the ensuing Pushbutton Summit. I am married. I have 3 kids. And I am going to school full time. I don't have much time, I'm sure you know. But that contest was really good for me. The resources were amazing, to be sure, but I am really grateful for all of the exposure and connections that one step made for me. It opened so many doors that I never imagined would be open for me. I wanted to tell you thank you for that. Your team is really great and was more than helpful to me, and continues to help me now. I know you've been successful, and I'm amazed at how much you give back. Thank you again and happy new year!
What a letter! It certainly brightened my New Year's Day. I was compelled to ask this entrepreneur for some more details about the process of reaching his decision to start a new venture. Here's what he said:
"I work for a company that takes advantage of its employees. The owners and managers are arrogant and greedy. Every time something goes wrong, they find an employee to blame it on, and they take full credit for everything that goes right.
"As an example, the area I work for has experienced extreme changes in the regulations that govern the work I do. The owners had no idea the change was coming or what it would mean for our work. I got in touch with all the necessary people to find out what I had to do to get certified and registered. I worked with our client carefully to be sure they knew about the changes, and then we implemented a new system the client and I had come up with to cover the change.
"We had issues with the new system, as you usually do. We needed a way to get the required information back to our client in an efficient way. I made some adjustments to the system on our end and determined that if I could get a tablet computer, I could make the adjustments. I contacted the CEO and told him the plan. He was not supportive — gave me many excuses of why he didn't believe it would work, but in the end, he sent what I needed.
"The system worked great and our client has been very pleased with the solution. We had a national company meeting not long after this happened. In the meeting, the CEO asked me how the new system was working. I told him it was working out great and that our client is very happy. He then proceeded to tell me (and the entire company) how he had known the system would be great, which was why he had gotten behind the plan and had made it possible.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Seattle U men's soccer falls at Gonzaga, 2-1
Seattle University's men's soccer team battled back with a late goal but could not complete the comeback as the Redhawks fell, 2-1, at Gonzaga, in their second-to-last nonconference competition of the season.
"I'm proud of the way the guys played, and I thought we battled," said Seattle U coach Pete Fewing. "Gonzaga is a good team and I give them credit for the win. We started a comeback — Michael Roberts had a great goal, and we had a chance in the last seconds of the game to tie it up, but didn't quite get to the ball. We're young, learning, and improving."
The two teams played to a scoreless tie through halftime despite early scoring opportunities for the Redhawks (1-7-1). In the 3rd minute, Hamza Haddadi of Shoreline went one-on-one with the Gonzaga goalkeeper, but his shot was saved. Seconds later, Ian Hines-Ike struck a shot on goal that was also stopped.
Later in the half, Haddadi and Hines-Ike each added a shot apiece, both of which sailed high above the goal.
Following halftime, Gonzaga (5-2) broke through in the 55th minute as Jakob Granlund scored on an assist by Nick Hamer.
In the 68th minute, Clark Phillips increased the Bulldog lead to 2-0, tapping the ball into the net on the open right side. Lars Ludwigs was credited with the assist.
In the 78th minute, Roberts, a graduate of Issaquah High School, narrowed the score, dribbling down the left side and taking the shot from 12 yards out toward the left post. Renato Bandeira, from Eastlake High School, earned the assist on Roberts' third goal of the season.
Overall, the Zags outshot the Redhawks, 26-8.

Choctaw members want vote on Jones County casino
Published: June 24,2010
Tags: casinos, gaming, Native Americans
CHOCTAW — Some members of the Mississippi Band of Choctaws Indians are calling for a tribe-wide vote on a planned expansion of gaming into Jones County.
The Tribal Council approved the casino near Sandersville on an 8-7 vote June 8.
A petition application calling for the election was presented to the office of Chief Beasley Denson earlier this month. Tribal officials confirmed June 22 that they had received it.
"We have received the petition application," Choctaws spokesman Warren Strain told the Laurel Leader-Call. "We are not surprised by it. The same thing happened with the Golden Moon. It's an expected part of the process."
The Golden Moon casino was constructed and opened in Philadelphia in 2002, despite the petition. It became the tribe's second casino to open in Philadelphia, the first being the Silver Star in 1994.
The proposed Bogue Homa casino would be the first casino built outside the tribal headquarters in Neshoba County. The tribe is considering building a 27,000-square-foot casino. It is expected to be equipped with 500 to 700 slot machines. It would be a $17 million investment, employing about 250 people.
Tribal members Vickie Rangel, Austin Tubby and Bobbie Frazier filed the application.
Rangel said she and others collected signatures from 30 percent of the qualified voters in the tribe. She said the gathering the signatures is the first step in filing the petition application. The next step was to present the documents to the chief's office and then on to the Choctaw Tribal Election Committee for approval.
"The council members voting against the resolution supported having a referendum election so the will of the people could be determined due to the controversial nature of the issue.
"Our Tribal Constitution affords the tribal members the reserved right to approve or reject at the polls any resolution adopted by the Tribal Council through a referendum election. We are prepared to fully support the outcome of the referendum election whatever the result may be," Rangel said.
Gov. Haley Barbour has asked Attorney General Jim Hood to take legal action to try to block the development.
The Choctaw casinos are not regulated by the state. Mississippi has 30 state-regulated casinos that operate along the waters of the Mississippi River and along the Gulf Coast.
