== Anchorage- South boys secure state soccer title with shutout ==

<html>Anchorage With two nifty goals from Connor Gonzalez, another from Eyob Imlach and a stellar defensive performance that included more than one acrobatic save from goalie Griffin Toomey, the South boys soccer team claimed a fifth state title Saturday.
The Wolverines played an almost flawless match to beat Colony 3-0 at Tom Huffer Sr. Stadium, winning it all for the first time since 2009 and handing the Knights their first loss of the season.
"We peaked at the right time," South senior defender Ron Perry said. "At the beginning of the year we played good ball relying on individual talent, but we peaked at the right time as a team and came together."
All three goals came in the first half. On the rare occasion Colony managed to fire a threatening shot in the second half, Toomey was there to flash quick hands and feet to make the save.
"I love this guy," Imlach said with his arm around Toomey after the game. "Best goalie in the state and we could not have done it without him."
The offensive firepower came primarily from Gonzalez, who was inches away from recording a hat trick.
What appeared to be his third goal was later credited to Imlach,[http://web.kaya.or.jp/cgi-bin/bbs/user05/bbs.cgi?page=0%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520%2520Result:%2520chosen%2520nickname%2520%25 Self Serve Guide for Local Seo - Enterprise Owners], who fired a crossing shot that wound up rolling almost parallel to the goal line and then over it just before Gonzalez came crashing in to drive the ball into the back of the net.
"I saw the ball roll in, past the line, but Connor over there wanted to get his hat trick," Imlach said. "They announced it wrong. It's all good. He doesn't need three goals, two goals is enough."
Gonzalez notched the match's first two goals in such dazzling style that taking away his third didn't diminish his impact.
His first strike came in the 12th minute on a low blast through traffic that slipped just inside the left goal post from about 20 yards out. The ball left his foot with such force,[http://www.robnraz.se/guestbook/viewtopic.php?p=7188#7188 SEO Agency in India that complete search engines o], the Colony goalkeeper had no chance.
Gonzalez was quick to celebrate with his hands in the air as he ran back to midfield.
"When I hit the first strike and I saw it beating the goalie,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Broncos-27-Knowshon-Moreno-Orange-Jerseys-5334/ Broncos 27 Knowshon Moreno Orange Jerseys], I just turned and saw my team scream," he said.
Gonzalez was at it again in the 33rd minute, turning what looked like a hard shot from teammate Taylor Zietlow into a goal. Gonzalez was stationed near the left goal post during a corner-kick set. Zietlow blasted a ball from the top of the penalty box and Gonzalez redirected the low rocket into the upper left corner of the net.
"(Zietlow) said it wasn't a shot," Gonzalez said. "It was laces, but if it wasn't a shot, it was a good pass."
South finished the season 15-3-1, with one of its three losses coming in a 1-0 affair against Colony (16-1-1). Fatigue hurt the Wolverines in the previous meeting with Colony,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-49ers-94-Smith-White-Elite-Jerseys-18972/ Nike 49ers 94 Smith White Elite Jerseys], Gonzalez said,[http://www13.plala.or.jp/white_roots/gwbbs/gwbbs.cgi Effective SEO Tactics to Know When You're Starting], and South was determined not to let it happen again.
"I think both teams came in a little tired after both playing overtime yesterday," Colony coach Jeremy Johnson said. "South, they outplayed us today and deserve the win."
Colony needed two overtime victories to reach the championship, taking down Juneau in Thursday's first round and Cook Inlet Conference champion West in a Friday semifinal. South needed overtime to knock off defending state champion Dimond on Friday.
"It was an incredible season, right up until today," Johnson said. "We had lots of adversity to overcome with fields and things, shoveling our field and getting it clear and playing two matches and then having it snow two feet and having to shovel it all again. I couldn't be more proud of them."
 
West 4, Dimond 3
Powered by a pair of goals from Henry Vasquez, the West boys claimed third place with a 4-3 win over Dimond.
Davis Ortland and Carson Klever also notched goals for the Eagles.
Matthew Cerveny knocked in two goals for the Lynx, with Kerrick Eagle adding another.
 
Juneau 5, Wasilla 1
The Juneau boys cruised to a fourth-place finish with a 5-1 win over Wasilla.
Goals from Antonio Hafferty, Marc Heifetz and Nick Stewart established a comfortable lead, with Jackson Lehnhart tacking on two insurance goals.
Elijah Crawford deposited Wasilla's goal.

== AUSTIN, Texas- Texas judge allows Armstrong lawsuit to proce ==

<html>AUSTIN,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Steelers-92-Harrison-Black-Elite-Jerseys-w-80-season-Patch-18950/ Nike Steelers 92 Harrison Black Elite Jerseys w 80 season Patch],[http://www.ftdgamers.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=142 Getting the Best Search Engine Optimization Using], Texas A Texas judge has refused Lance Armstrong's request to dismiss an insurance company's lawsuit seeking $3 million in bonuses it paid him from 1999 to 2001, and an attorney for the company said Tuesday he'll move quickly to question the cyclist under oath.
Nebraska-based Acceptance Insurance Holdings had a contract with Armstrong to pay bonuses for winning the Tour de France and other races. The company sued to recover its money after Armstrong admitted in January that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour every year from 1999-2005.
Armstrong's attorneys had asked Travis County judge Darlene Byrne to dismiss the case,[http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?campid=5336182395&customid=pubster&toolid=10013&mpre=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4Pcs-24CM-PVC-LED-CAR-TRUCK-FLEXIBLE-LIGHT-STRIP-YELLOW-/320606899868 7 Logic behind why Your blog Requires a Refresher!], arguing the statute of limitations on any fraud or breach of contract claims expired by 2011. The company argued that the clock didn't start until Armstrong admitted doping.
The judge denied Armstrong's request to dismiss on Monday, allowing the case to proceed. Acceptance attorney Mark Kincaid said the company will seek to question witnesses - including Armstrong - under oath, something the cyclist has been reluctant to do with several legal cases pending against him.
"Lance Armstrong would be the No. 1 witness," Kincaid said.
Armstrong attorney Tim Herman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Armstrong is facing several lawsuits seeking repayment of millions paid to him during his career. Most notable is a federal case seeking to recover more than $40 million paid to Armstrong and his team by the U.S. Postal Service when the agency was his team's primary sponsor. Federal prosecutors have said they intend to seek treble damages,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Giants-91-Tuck-2012-Super-Bowl-white-Jerseys-4185/ Giants 91 Tuck 2012 Super Bowl white Jerseys], which could push penalties up to more than $100 million.
The Acceptance case is similar to a $12 million lawsuit filed by Dallas-based SCA Promotions. SCA tried to withhold bonuses from Armstrong in 2005 and went to arbitration in an effort to prove he was cheating. Armstrong testified in that case under oath and denied doping, and the case was eventually settled with SCA paying Armstrong more than $7 million.
Armstrong's attorneys have argued in part Acceptance should have previously pursued Armstrong over the doping questions like SCA did.
The SCA and Acceptance cases differ in that SCA has a settlement agreement that Armstrong's attorneys argue cannot be undone under Texas law.
"That's an obstacle they have to overcome that we don't,[http://tatsujin.kitaku.net/bbs/light.cgi?page=0%253Ebuy The Way To Do Successful Email Advertising]," Kincaid said.</html>

== NEW YORK- Bynes appears in NYC court in suspected bong toss ==

<html>NEW YORK Amanda Bynes wore a long aqua wig,[http://www.99shq.com/ Ultimate Texans  Fans plead for release of], false eyelashes and black sweatpants and a tank top for a brief court appearance Tuesday on allegations that she chucked a marijuana bong out the window of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment.
The 27-year-old actress did not speak during the hearing that lasted mere minutes, but she drew a throng of photographers and television cameras as she entered and left the criminal court building in lower Manhattan. Neither she nor her attorney spoke to reporters outside court.
Bynes was arrested May 23 after building officials at her midtown apartment called police to complain that she was rolling a joint and smoking pot in the lobby. Officers went to her apartment,[http://www.agri-sci.com/index.php?option=com_blog&view=blog Designing an E-Commerce Website to Suit Your Busin],[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Arizona-Cardinals-Critical-Victory-Yellow-T-Shirt-26291/ Arizona Cardinals Critical Victory Yellow T-Shirt], where they said they saw heavy smoke and a bong sitting on the kitchen counter. They said she tossed the bong out the window in front of them,[http://easternchat.com/vb/showthread.php?p=1074029#post1074029 Reach the Top of Search Engines with Site Optimization], according to prosecutors. A day later, in her first court appearance,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Cowboys-82-Witten-Black-Impact-Limited-Jerseys-24903/ Nike Cowboys 82 Witten Black Impact Limited Jerseys], she wore a disheveled blond wig.
Bynes rose to fame starring in Nickelodeon's "All That" and has also starred in several films, including 2010's "Easy A." But she has been in the news more recently because of several scrapes with the law and bizarre public behavior.
In a Twitter post after her first court appearance, she accused the officers who arrested her of sexual assault; police are looking into her claims. She also has taken to social media to criticize a host of celebrities recently.
Bynes had no previous arrests in New York, but she was involved in several California cases. In December, the "Hairspray" star resolved a misdemeanor hit-and-run case after entering into a civil settlement with other drivers. She was charged last fall with driving on a suspended license after it was temporarily taken away from her following two hit-and-run cases where she was accused of leaving the scene without providing proper information. She has also pleaded not guilty to drunken driving in a separate case.
It's not clear how the New York case will affect the California ones.
Manhattan prosecutors filed an affidavit from her building manager, Rudy Toro, corroborating police and prosecutors' account of the tale. Bynes' next court appearance was scheduled for Sept. 26.
She left court with her attorney, Gerald Shargel, wearing sunglasses into a waiting black Mercedes sedan.</html>

== PPP polling miscellany ==

<html>|  |   has some additional results from its  into Texas.

-By a 54/21 margin Texas voters say that they support the Voting Rights Act, including 45/23 even with Republicans. Only 29% of voters say that they favor the Supreme Court s decision to overturn parts of the VRA last week,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Celtics-34-Pierce-Green-Gold-Number-Jerseys-2057/ Celtics 34 Pierce Green Gold Number Jerseys], with 45% opposed.

-It s going to be a while before Texas voters get on board with gay marriage we find that only 34% of voters in the state support it to 57% who are opposed. As we find in most of the South though the hang up for Texans is more the term marriage than opposing equal legal rights for same sex couples- we find that 63% of voters support at least civil unions to only 31% who are opposed to any sort of legal equality. 72% of Democrats,[http://dg.netbeb.com/bbs/read.php?tid=5117711&displayMode=1 Sen. Wendy Davis, Planned Parenthood kick off bus tour_1], 70% of independents,[http://pet-ceremony.info/cgi-dir/omohide/joyful.1.cgi?page=45 Why You Need a Professional SEO Services and Not Q], and even a 51% majority of Republicans support either gay marriage or civil unions in Texas.

When it comes to employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, only 14% of Texans think that should be an allowable practice compared to 75% who believe it should not. Even among Republicans just 21% believe that s acceptable to 62% who think it is unacceptable.
I don t quite know what to make of that VRA result. While it mirrors  in the wake of the SCOTUS decision,[http://cgi.members.interq.or.jp/rap/takepee/i/epad/epad.cgi?res=395536 Will Internet Marketing Work for Your Business], there was evidence prior to that decision that support for the VRA in particular, for preclearance was . That s not terribly surprising, given the ferocious opposition from Republican officials and the hamstringing of the voter ID law. I d like to see what happens to these numbers in a few months time.

As for the gay marriage numbers,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Steelers-86-Ward-White-2011-Super-Bowl-Jerseys-3407/ Steelers 86 Ward White 2011 Super Bowl Jerseys], I believe they will continue to shift in the positive direction. The important thing is that most people don t oppose any kind of legal equality. It s probably safe to assume that much of this opposition comes from GOP primary voters, and that means another place where Republican statewide officials are going to be out of step with prevailing public opinion. Democratic candidates cannot and must not shy away from this. 

One more result of interest:

When it comes to general election match ups for President in the state Hillary Clinton leads Perry 48/44, but trails the other Republicans we tested by 3-9 points. She s down 46/43 to Jeb Bush, 49/44 to Ted Cruz, and 47/38 to Chris Christie.
Hillary Clinton continues to poll as a candidate that could , but it must be noted that her numbers have  since the last results in January. This is to be expected as I said at that time, partisan affiliation is going to exert itself. I do believe she has a higher ceiling than President Obama has shown, but it s not clear yet how much higher. Needless to say, 2016 is still a long way off.  has more.</html>
