Saints, Rams alums dominate college hardwoods | South Philly Review

When talking Philly college basketball, the La Salle Explorers traditionally have struggled in the headliner department. But a quick glance at the Olney-based squad’s current 14-6 record shouts out for some well-deserved attention, as the team finished the 2010-11 season three games below .500.

Part of the current success can be attributed to two former standouts from Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., Earl Pettis, a 6-foot-5 senior guard, and Tyreek Duren, a 6-foot sophomore guard. Pettis, from the 1500 block of South 15th Street, is averaging 14.8 points per contest. Duren, who calls Yeadon home, is filling up the stat sheets with his well-balanced contributions of 14.1 points, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals each game. After playing George Washington University in a home bout that happened after press time, the duo is westward bound for a Saturday afternoon tussle at Duquesne University.

Traveling slightly south on Broad Street, the college basketball spotlight is shining on Temple University senior guard and co-captain Ramone Moore and his 13-5 Owls, who played in Charlotte yesterday after press time prior to a Saturday home matchup against St. Joseph’s University. The 6-foot-4 South Philadelphia High, 2101 S. Broad St., product currently is tied with St. Joe’s Carl Jones as the Atlantic 10’s leading scorers with 17.2 points per contest.

WHAT ABOUT THE FEC MR. PRESIDENT?

 

By Jeremy Miller

Campaign Finance Reform, Federal Agencies, Federal Election Commission (FEC), The White House, President Barack Obama

In his State of the Union speech to Congress last evening, President Obama said: “Let’s make sure people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress can’t lobby Congress, and vice versa – an idea that has bipartisan support, at least outside of Washington.”  He also endorsed legislation to ban insider trading by Members of Congress and to limit any elected officials from owning stocks in industries they impact.  We here at CREW couldn’t agree more. 

This past weekend marked the two-year anniversary of one of the most disastrous Supreme Court decisions on record.  So it was a pity the president didn’t seize the moment to reflect on the broken campaign finance system left in the wake of Citizens United and the utterly dysfunctional non-enforcement agency we have in the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Weekly Basket: Complexifying the Code

 

Volume XVII No. 4: January 27, 2012

 

In the State of the Union, the President called for comprehensive tax reform: "So tonight, I'm asking Democrats and Republicans to simplify the system. Get rid of the loopholes. Level the playing field. And use the savings to lower the corporate tax rate for the first time in 25 years..." He continued, "In fact, the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job, but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this, and I am prepared to join them."

That was so 2011.

CNBNews Op-Ed: No Secret Ballot For GOP Endorsement Is Same As Union Card Check

 

Related: FREINDLY FIRE

by Chris Freind

cnbnews.net

 

The Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), commonly known as “Card Check,” is the misnamed

legislation promoted by Organized Labor to stop the hemorrhaging within union ranks.  (From a high near 40 percent after World War II, union representation in the private sector has plummeted to just 7 percent today). It would make organizing a union infinitely easier by eliminating the current secret ballot vote used to determine whether employees wish to unionize. 

 

 Common sense tells us that whenever a secret ballot is not employed, many people will not vote their conscience.  Instead, they fall victim to intimidation and arm-twisting, and end up casting a ballot in favor of the person whom they are strongly encouraged ---AKA “told” --- to support.  The result is a rigged, Banana Republic election, anything but “Free Choice.”
