press release August 15, 2011

The body of a woman identified as a 55-year-old Maple Shade resident was found Monday afternoon in a partially submerged car that was discovered by a boater in the Mantua Creek off Berkley Road in East Greenwich Township NJ.

The woman, Connie Oman Burns, of 123 Frederick Avenue, was reported missing by her two sisters shortly after 12 noon on Monday. They had last spoken to her by telephone Sunday afternoon when she told them she was in Cherry Hill and planned to attend a family party in Maple Shade that afternoon. At 4:13 p.m. Sunday, South Harrison Towhship police received a report of a vehicle driving erratically on Monroeville Road. From information reported to police, it was determined the car was registered to Ms. Burns. Police were unable to locate the vehicle.

Obamacare has suffered a devastating blow. On Friday, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the individual mandate in President Barack Obama’s signature health care legislation is unconstitutional. With its ruling, the court affirmed the principle that the Constitution means what it says—Congress does not have unfettered power to force the American people to comply with any and all dictates it creates.

The federal government’s argument in favor of Obamacare’s individual mandate, in contrast, is without limit—and it’s a position that the court strongly rejected:

The government’s position amounts to an argument that the mere fact of an individual’s existence substantially affects interstate commerce, and therefore Congress may regulate them at every point of their life. This theory affords no limiting principles in which to confine Congress’s enumerated power….

The federal government’s assertion of power, under the Commerce Clause, to issue an economic mandate for Americans to purchase insurance from a private company for the entire duration of their lives is unprecedented, lacks cognizable limits, and imperils our federalist structure.

The Obama Administration wasted no time in decrying the ruling, reasserting its argument that the individual mandate is constitutional—cleverly calling it an \”individual responsibility\” provision and hanging its hat on an earlier decision by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals which upheld the law. But the significance of last week’s opinion cannot be easily undone with clever wordsmithing, spin—or claims of partisanship, given that one of the authors of the ruling, Judge Frank Hull, was appointed by President Bill Clinton.

Brooklawn (45-6) again showed its resolve by loading the bases with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. And it was inches away from more runs before Las Vegas centerfielder John Sewald’s diving grab of Joe Brooks’ liner wrapped up the victory.

\”If he misses it, it’s probably three runs and the tying run on third base,\” Day said. \”So that was a huge catch.\”

Erik VanMeetren’s big hit gave him a game-high four hits and four RBI for a 15-hit Las Vegas offense. T.J. White, A.J. VanMeetren, Michael Blasko and Trey Hoppel added two hits apiece.

Steve Wilgus and John Brue had four hits each to lead Brooklawn’s 15-hit offense. Pat Kane and Brooks added two hits apiece. Trailing 11-2 after 5 1/2 innings, Brooklawn inched closer with three in the sixth, four in the seventh and one in the eighth.

Roper went four innings for Las Vegas, striking out two and yielding four hits and two runs. Hoppel got the win in relief but got touched up for eight runs (six earned) and nine hits in 3 1/3 innings. Adam Wozniak (1/3 inning) and White (1 1/3) closed out the game for Las Vegas.

(cnbnews.net)SHELBY NC-Brooklawn Legion was knocked down to the losers bracket by Midland, Michigan and will now have to win every game or be eliminated from the World Series. 

 

Brooklawn committed some costly errors in tonight\’s game, which started 3 hours late because of rain.

 

An error in the third inning allowed Michigan to jump out to a one run lead. The error happened on a popup that dropped between Brooklawn’s pitcher, the catcher, and the first baseman. 

 

But the Brookers came back in the top of the 5th scoring 4 runs. Michigan got one in the sixth. In the seventh an error by Brooklawn with two outs allowed Michigan to get two more. Michigan got a rally going in the 8th scoring 4 runs. The final score Midland 8 Brooklawn 4.

 

The Brookers short stop Robbie Alessandrine made a beautiful play in the 4th inning. A hard hit ball came flying at Allessandrine who jumped in the air to catch it, and then while he was still in the air threw out the Michigan runner at first. Allessandrine also made a nice play to get the last out of that inning.

 

Brooklawn will play Sunday. Time and opponent to be announced.

TIME TO END FREE \”BENNIES\” FOR PART-TIME POLITICIANS-Glad to see the West Deptford Township Committee people adopt an ordinance to end the medical benefit for committee members. This move, taken last week at a committee meeting, was long overdue especially with the Township facing a $142 million deficit.

Midland, Mich., comes back on Brooklawn, N.J., for victory | mich, midland, brooklawn – The Star Online : The Newspaper of Cleveland County

Andrew Schorr went 2 1/3 innings in relief for Brooklawn (45-5), walking four and striking out one while surrendering four hits and six runs to take the loss.

Joe Santone’s three hits paced New Jersey’s 10-hit attack.

\”We had some opportunities where we didn’t get the guys in from third with less than two outs,\” New Jersey coach Dennis Barth said. \”But they threw a good pitcher, and he battled all night.\”

He hopes his guys can keep playing after Sunday’s 1 p.m. game against Las Vegas.

\”We’ve been to the World Series pretty long, and this is the best World Series we’ve ever been in. Hopefully we can come back and win (Sunday).\”

A question for historians in the not-too-distant future

11 August 2011

Forty years from now, politicians, writers, and historians may struggle to understand how America, once the quintessential middle-class society, became as socially stratified as Europe or even Brazil. Should that dark scenario come to pass, they would do well to turn their attention first to New York City and New York State, which have been in the vanguard of middle-class decline.

It was in mid-1960s New York—under the leadership of a Barack Obama precursor, Hollywood-handsome John Lindsay—that the country’s first top-bottom political coalition emerged. In 1965, Gotham had more manufacturing jobs than any other city in the country. But the city’s political elites used eminent domain to push manufacturing aside in favor of business services; they also expanded social programs to help African-Americans and Puerto Ricans. The service sector proved rough going for the less educated, and the social programs failed. New York City responded by inflating its unionized public-sector workforce to incorporate minority workers.

Higher taxes to pay for bigger government joined higher crime to produce a massive exodus of manufacturing and middle-class jobs. Over the last 45 years, New York has led the country in outmigration. A recent study by E. J. McMahon and Robert Scardamalia of the Empire…
