PA Democratic Primaries May 16 Offer Rich Opportunities
by DownWithTyranny, Mon Apr 10, 2006 at 10:14:14 PM EDT
Pennsylvania has 19 congressional seats and a U.S. Senate seat in the November election, making it one of the most important battle grounds in the country. Rick Santorum, one of the most narrow-minded, bigoted, extreme right-wing and corrupt of anyone in the entire Congress, is widely thought to be the incumbent senator with the least chance for survival. Currently among the 19 House members 11 are Republicans, all of the rubber-stamp variety. Not a single one ever stands up against the extremist Bush-DeLay-Boehner agenda. Several of these rubber-stamp Republicans are thought to be in as much jeopardy from the voters as is Santorum, particularly Jim Gerlach (PA-06), Curt Weldon (PA-07), and Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08) and possibly Phil English (PA-03).
There is a very bitter primary race among Democrats to oppose Santorum. The Inside-the-Beltway establishment candidate is a right-of-center Democrat with a big-name daddy, State Treasure Bob Casey (whose father was a beloved governor). He would probably prefer to be a governor himself but Chuck Schumer of the DSCC (and the current governor, Ed Rendell)
imposed on recruited him to run against the much-hated Santorum. Not many Democrats are aware that Casey is anti-choice and, no doubt, Santorum-- also virulently anti-choice-- is hoping (and plotting) that closer to November Democratic women and progressives will find out about this and other reactionary Casey positions that will cause disillusionment and revulsion and hold down turnout among Democrats. Schumer doesn't seem to see this as a danger, and hopefully in November people won't be saying he had his head up his ass. I am worried that by electing Casey-- if that is even possible-- the Democrats will be creating another Zell Miller or Joe Lieberman or Ben Nelson, Democrats who tend to vote with Republicans on crucial issues. During the heated debate over Bush's extreme right-wing Supreme Court nomination, Sam Alito, Casey gratuitously chimed in that he would have voted to confirm Alito, something that was done by only 4 Democrats-- all in red states-- and something that even a sole Republican moderate, Lincoln Chafee, could not bring himself to do.
The progressive alternative to Casey is Chuck Pennacchio, although Schumer and the DSCC has been spectacularly successful in portraying Casey as THE Democrat running against Santorum and, with the lazy and superficial mass media, has given Casey's candidacy an air of inevitability. It's a damn shame because come November, more and more Democrats are going to find out that Casey is a kind of "Santorum-lite." Pennacchio's positions and values are Democratic positions and values. He would make a much better Senator. Another excellent progressive, Alan Sandals, is also in the May 16th primary, although he seems even a longer shot against Casey than Pennacchio is.
There are several Democratic primary races for House seats on May 16th as well. None of the 8 Democratic incumbents are in jeopardy in 2006. And of the Republicans, the most likely to lose is Jim Gerlach in the northwest Philadelphia suburbs (Ardmore, Norristown, Pottstown, Coatesville). Last year he barely won-- with less than 50% of the vote-- against Lois Murphy, who is poised to beat him this year. She's a solid candidate who has been endorsed by both progressive grassroots Democrats as well as the Inside-the-Beltway power-mongers. An even further left Democrat, Mike Liebowitz hasn't generated enough enthusiasm to make him a serious contender against Murphy. PA-06 is a moderate suburban district-- the kind of district that abandoned the Republican candidates in Virginia and New Jersey en masse in 2005-- and Lois fits the district a lot better than the extreme far right Gerlach or the somewhat more liberal Liebowitz. Gerlach consistently tries to pass himself off as a moderate -- although pro-choice supporters know he is as radical and extreme as DeLay and any garden variety far right fanatic. And when it comes to selling out his constituents to Big Business and to the radical DeLay agenda, Gerlach is considered one of the 3 or 4 easiest lays in the House. Jim Gerlach defines rubber-stamp Republican.
Between PA-06 (Montgomery County) and the New Jersey border is PA-08, primarily Bucks County. It goes from Croydon, Bristol and Levittown up through Doylestown and Quakertown. The seat is current held by another arch rubber-stamper, Mike Fitzpatrick won the seat in 2004 with 55% of the vote. In all likelihood he will face a far stronger challenge in November from Patrick Murphy, the archetypal "Fighting Dem." I fell in love with Murphy's candidacy when I noticed that he is one of the only DCCC-blessed challengers who had the balls to ignore Rahm Emanuel's instance that no one say a word about Iraq. Instead of embarrassingly ignoring the issue, like too many Democrats, Murphy-- a decorated Iraq vet and former West Point professor-- took the bull by the horns the way progressives wish Emanuel and the DCCC would. From his website: "When Rep. John Murtha, the first Vietnam combat veteran elected to Congress, started the debate on America's role in Iraq by saying 'Our troops have done all they can do,' he was right. Our troops toppled the Saddam Regime and made sure that there were no WMDs. It is time to change the direction in Iraq, and we need to start bringing our men and women home now.
Patrick believes in a responsible exit strategy, with benchmarks and a timeline, which encourages the Iraqis to stand up on their own, brings our men and women home, and most importantly, closes this chapter of our history and refocuses our efforts to win the War on Terror." Every Democrat running for Congress should tell Rahm Emanuel to go to hell and take a clear, ethical, reasonable-- and popular-- stand the way Murphy has. His stands on other issues are consistent-- pro-choice, pro-environment, in favor of balancing the budget and saving Medicare and Social Security from the deprecations of the Far Right.
Yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer has a spectacular story on Patrick Murphy, which makes it clear why he would make an exceptionally great U.S. congressman and details his transformation from a naive Bush supporter in 2000 to a dedicated Kerry backer in 2004. "I fell for it when he said he was a compassionate conservative. I can't compound a mistake by doing nothing about it. I tried to change it in 2004," having grown disillusioned with the Bush Regime while he was in Iraq. "The administration wasn't looking out for us," he said.
Before Murphy can get to Fitzpatrick he has to defeat former Bucks County Commissioner-- and recent Republican convert-- Andrew Warren. Warren's website looks good and his positions look progressive, but friends in the district tell me his current positions ring somewhat hollow. In any case, the district's official Democratic club overwhelmingly endorsed Murphy last month.
The third of Pennsylvania's "big 3" pits former Admiral Joe Sestak against a right wing Moonie nut case, reeking of corruption, Curt Weldon. There is no primary and Democrats, independents and sane Republicans have rallied to Sestak's campaign.
In the northwest corner of the state (Erie), PA-03 is going to see a rematch of 2004, with Doctor Steven Porter taking on Congressman Gluttony, Phil English. In 2004 English was able to beat Porter with a campaign of outrageous lies and innuendo. Porter, who was accused of everything from wanting to force drunks to undergo sterilization to prohibiting hunting, is prepared for his sleaze this time and with volunteers and some financing a truly progressive and serious-minded Porter could rid the congress of a rubber-stamp dullard who has disgraced his office.
Although Democrats are also challenging Republican incumbents in PA-05 (north central Pennsylvania from State College, Lock Haven and Oil City, right up to the New York border-- John Peterson v Don Hilliard), PA-09 (south central PA from the western outskirts of Harrisburg to Altoona and Connellsville-- Bill Shuster v Paul Politis, PA-10 (the northeast corner of the state, around Carbondale and Williamsport down to Sunbury-- Don Sherwood v "Fighting Dem"Chris Carney, PA-16 (the extreme southeast corner of the state from Reading and West Chester down to Maryland-- Joseph Pitts v Lois Herr, and PA-19 (a southern district that includes Gettysburg, Hanover, Carlisle, Mechanicsburg and the western suburbs of Harrisburg-- Todd Platts v "Fighting Dem"Phil Avillo, none of these districts have primaries.
There are Democratic primaries coming up in PA-18 (the suburbs south of Pittsburgh where wingnut Tim Murphy will have to face either Chad Kluko or progressive Tom Kovach) and PA-04 (the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh up to New Castle where Melissa Hart will have to face whoever wins the primary contest between progressive Jason Altmire and Georgia Berner). And just as I was about to put this up I Chris Bowers here at MyDD reported that the Democrats finally came up with a strategy to have someone-- Charles Dertinger-- run agaist wingnutia rubber-stamper Chares Dent in PA-15.
The DWTACT BLUE Page is accepting contributions on behalf of Lois Murphy, Patrick Murphy, Steven Porter and Joe Sestak for the House and on behalf on Chuck Pennacchio for the Senate. Be part of a grassroots movement of people putting in $10 and $20 at a time to give us a government that a country we love and cherish as much as America deserves-- instead of one that is bought and paid for by the corrupt special interests that have brought us the nightmare of George W. Bush, Tom DeLay, Rick Santorum and the rubber-stamp Republican Congress.

its never stated who was it that died but the quran just says it was somone of resembelence to jesus the reason is because first, god didnt want the prophet to be tortured second, so he may resurect and defeat the antichrist because God decided at the beggining of time that human beings will never be allowed to return to the earth once they died so if Allah allowed him to return it would be contradictory so he was was brought up to the heavens untill the awaited day of his resurection and at that day the true religion will be clear to the whole world and we will be at peace and everyone will submit to god, it will be a beautiful day :)

It's not just a matter to research. I want to say just one thing is there anyone who don't believe in miracle and cannot show a single example of them. If you believe in miracle then tell me who is the one that makes the miracles and if don't believe why can't anyone make one willingly?
The simple answer of this question we all know that someone created this universe as a Muslim I believe ALLAH created the universe and if someone don't believe just think we have a theory of big bang but what happened before that and why does it have to be big bang why not something else happen. And the biggest truth is in the nature everything happens in such a way I can see there is someone who is controlling it.
If we can accept all the thing happening by Allah then it is written in Quran isn't it enough to believe that it is true. We humans have so limited knowledge that we cannot even think outside the world let alone the universe there is no end of knowledge in every area even scientists also believe that. So how can we think of the actions that taken (why, how, possible/impossible). In some cases we just have to believe there is so many terms in science that we just have to consider it will be like this we even don't know why is it happening. So my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters don't overthink in the work of ALLAH sometime you cannot just solve it.
There is already so many comments for this is post I don't think many more reference is necessary, whatever just needed now is to believe cause this is the Islam that we believe in what ALLAH said no matter what it looks like.
Thanks for the question I think if you believe with your heart you will find the answer.

I go to church every sunday and although Islam does not believe that Jesus died, I believe Jesus died on the Cross and the reason he died was because first of all when Mary had Jesus life was blown into Mary direct from God, Mary did not sin and have sex and when Jesus preached the Gospel to a dying nation they killed him because they did not believe that he was the son of God. Now if God blew life into Mary to have Jesus, was he then not a son of God? This is what you need to ask yourself? Mary did not have sex with Josepeh or anyone to concieve Jesus did she? Jesus was concieved by Immaculate conception so to say that Jesus was not the son of god does not actually make ny sense. When Jesus claimed that he was the son of god he came in the form of a man to preach the gospel and because of the way he was concieved was able to perform miracles. When they killed him he could not come off the cross once he was nailed. It was Jesus who did on the cross, if not Jesus, who died on the Cross? There is no answer to this and iof there is no answer, one needs to think again about following that faith. There is no question in christianity whether he died on the cross or not, it is staight he died on the cross. Why did god let his son die? To forgive us of all our sins. Everybody has a phyisical and spiritual sense right? When they killed Jesus his spirit went into Sheol which is the darkest pit of Hell and fought with Satan a dark force or evil spirit and told Satan to let the captives free whether they were prostitutes, murdereres, thieves and of the like. Satan released them and when Jesus resurrected people were amazed on what he done. On the third day of pentecost the holy spirit was poured out upon the people and in the quran even though it mentions the holy spirit in christinaity you have to have the gift of the holy spirit which allows you to have one of the nine spiritual gifts that states in the bible - i.e Gift of prophesy - Gift of Knowledge - these gifts allow you to see spiritually and in the bible it says that Jospeh had dreams and dreams were shown to Joesph that they will try to Kill Jesus and they fled to a safe country. If you have the gift of the holy spirit you will be shown visions, dreams and be able to prohesy which means you will be able to know what other people are going through just by looking at someone. The holy spirit is mentioned in the quran and the bible, however you need the gift of the holy spirit wich god wants everyone to have, so they are not spiritually blind and although muslims know of the holy spirit they are not able to spiritually see, which is one of the gifts that god wants eveyine to have but in Islam, this notion is not as strong as the Christian faith that's why christians are able to tell you what's going on in your life because they have the gift of the holy spirit. It is a gift from god and the holy spirit was poured onto the nation on the day of Pentecoste. It's sad that people do not acknowledge this and still acknowledge the Jesus did not die on the cross but can't give the name who did died on the cross? Also a lot of muslims have changed to christianity if you watch a Muslim Journey To Hope because they aksed God to show them the right path and although Islam states they are the right path - When muslim who even have Imam's in their family they asked god to show them the right religion and Jesus revelaed himsef spiritually to some of them and a White shining light shone around them, so they changed from Islam to Chirstianity and that is defintiely not Satanic. Satan told god because he was a falln angel that he would throw the spirit of unbelief to those on earth so that people would belief in false prophets and religions so that people would go to hell and those that believed in Jesus and prayed in the name of Jesus would go up. In recognition of this Jesus died at the age of 33 and then Islam came and the prophet mohammed (PBUH) Muslims believe and say that he was a prophet each believe in their own - however when Prohet Mohammed died, he did not resurrect - Jesus is the only prophet that resurrected and because Prophet Mohammed is a prohet that stated that Islam was the last religion he still did not perfor miracles like Jesus - Jesus was resurrected on the third day of reurrection - no other prophet did?
I hope that has answered your questions and feel free to watch A Muslim Journey to Hope If you wish - and for those who wish to believe in Islam or Christianity do as you will because when people did not believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and his miracles, he left them alone.
God Bless Everyone

Brother Good question but seek the truth truth shall set you free.
suppose if war took place .. there is a king and soldiers so the fight began. all of us know the king will not be in front as the chances are high to be killed in war battle As king got so many responsiblity and the power is so much high. eventhough the soldiers killed still king will get diffrent options to save the entire country women childern old and many.. SO if i ask y cant he go infront and fight with enemies rather sitting behind. Its not fair rught. i hopei am making it sense. SO please try to see Our isa (jesus A.s) as a king and he should be protected some how to save the world in future. and surely the man died on the cross will be rewarded by ALLAH for his matryd. as he done a big job. to save his king.And he beleives one day king will save the world with ALLAH 's Permission.. It is a pure logic for me. only problem is try to think in this way many people dint gave a look like this.. So its as simple as that

In deciding which is the best religion to follow, there are no facts to say that Jesus was not crucified on the cross in ISLAM and there idealogy that someone was put there to be made to look like JESUS is just ludicrous. First of all you need to back it up with facts. What was the name of the person who died on the cross if not JESUS? This needs to be known and revealed. Secondly muslims are in denial about the whole concept of christian teachings as I was a muslim myself first of all I never experienced anything of the holy spirit and in fact was not even taught to me. Muslims are in denial about who JESUS CHRIST really was and about the teachings and gifts of the holy spirit although it is mentioned int he Quran Muslims have never experienced the holy spirit unless they have changed from christian to muslim and they were Pentecostal Christians all will be revealed as I write on.
Jesus was put on the cross because he was accused of Blasphemy - What made the Jews want to kill Jesus?
In the bible we see that in the book of John chapter 10: Verse 30-33, it clearly states that "I and the Father are one." 31 The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God," (John 10:30-33)
What was it that Jesus had said or done that caused the Jews to say that He was claiming to be God? Was it "I and the Father are one"? If so, why would that cause the Jews to want to kill Jesus? Perhaps it was something else. Maybe it was something Jesus said elsewhere that made them so angry.
There are only two places in John where the Jews wanted to kill Jesus with stones. Both of these occur after Jesus spoke and made a claim about Himself. The first was in John 8:58-59 and the second was in John 10:30-33. Here is the context of both verses:
John 8:56-59 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." 57The Jews therefore said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" 58Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." 59Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple." John 10:27-36, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. 29"My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30"I and the Father are one." 31 The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God." 34Jesus answered them, "Has it not been written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods'? 35"If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?"
There is absolutely no reference to stones or stoning between John 8:59 and John 10:31. But in those two verses, the Jews responded to Jesus word's by wanting to kill Him. What was it that Jesus said in both cases that brought such a violent reaction? Here they are again...
John 8:58-59, "Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." 59Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him; John 10:30-31, "I and the Father are one." 31The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. The first time the Jews wanted to kill Jesus was when He said, "Before Abraham was, I am." The second time wasn't until John 10:31 when they again wanted to kill Him after Jesus said, "I and the Father are one."
Claiming that he was the son of God and as you may know many people in those days did not believe that he was the son of God. The teaching in the bible first of all reveal that JESUS DID in fact die on the cross and on the third day of resurrection he rose up from the dead. The teachings that they say that he is the trinity comes from the catholic faith and as a Pentecostal Christian I believe that this is not exactly the right teaching. The correct teaching is to follow the Pentecostal faith to stop all confusion throughout the whole world and I recieved a revlation that I needed to tell people about the gospel of JESUS christ - First of all - As everybody knows JESUS was born a miracle baby - God is eternal and can do all things. Jesus was born a miracle as Mary did not have sexual relations with anyone in order to have JESUS. That's the first thing, Secondly Jesus started teaching the gospel at the age of 12 and I believe they crucified him at the age of 33 when they did not believe that he was the son of the eternal one. The son meaning that Mary did not have sexual relations with anyone in order for Jesus to be concieved that's why they say that he is the son of god becuae of the way that he was born however muslims still REJECT this teaching and DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TRUE, HOWEVER - How else was JESUS (pbuh) born??? He was not conceieved like you and I? This is one thing muslims failed to recognise and understand according to the christian faith. When they say that he is the son, the father and the holy spirit - the catholics believe that he is the son because of HOW he was born, the father because he was born a miracle through the Eternal father and was then able to perform miracles spiritually. The belief of the holy spirit was again true because when they killed JESUS (pbuh) he died in the manifestation of a man to forgive us for all of our sins died just like you and I physically. However we all know that we have a spirit that also lives within us otherwise we cannot possibly live and our physical bodies WILL eventually die but our spirit will live on as it is eternal SO - when they killed JESUS (pbuh) his spirit went down into the pit of hell and fought with satan for 3 days and opened up all the gates of hell to prostitutes, and all kinds murderers, cheetahs, liars, et.c. and gave them all a second chance - after he was done fighting Satan in hell for three days and released everyone that he willed he rose again on the third day of resurrection and this was the day that the holy spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost for the truth was then revealed to an otherwise dying nation who did not believe in the Gospel pf Jesus Christ (pbuh) and this is exactly what is going on today. People Don't know what to believe because they say that books have been altered e.tc. far from it the Torah w which was written many, many years ago is 99% correct to the books of the bible that are taught in today's society. It is also true that JESUS did miracles and he DID make the blind see, the Lame walk, the Deaf to hear and he did actually raise people from the dead - again HOW? Because he was from the eternal father who created him again HE Was a miracle baby and because of how he was born he was able to perform miracles just like how God the eternal performs miracles including the birth, the death and the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST - As you know GOD made heaven and earth in seven days - separated darkness from light and son on - JESUS (pbuh) came in the manifestation of a man from the eternal father to preach the gospel to a dying nation who again did not believe? - And it was then up to people to believe or not? Also as a muslim I received revelations which imams in the mosque could not explain and because of this I decided to become a a christian m the revalations were confirmation of the holy spirit and this is the confirmation of the death of JESUS CHRIST (pbuh) even though the muslims believe that the Holy Spirit in Surat Al maidah 5 110 refers to the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) he is the message bearer par excellence from Allah, the lord the glory and grace - he is divine this is what they believe they also believed that it was the holy spirit that strengthend JESUS (pbuh)this is stated in the Quran - AL BAQARAH - 253 however when you ask a muslim if they have received the holy spirit they don't even know what it is let alone experienced it and this is must to recieve the holy spirit if you want to enter into heaven. I then got baptised and asked God to forgive me for any sins that I did whatever they were. It was then that I was baptised and baptism stems from the fact that all things are passed away and all things become new - and that is exactly what happened to JESUS pbuh) - when he went down into the gates of Hell or Sheol as some people may refer it to he gave everybody a second chance and it was for that reason why people get baptised they are a new person and then they will recieve the holy spirit and are able to then start speaking in tongues which is a language that angels understand in heaven. I believe that this has answered your questions as a Muslim some people do not receive revelations as they do not believe that JESUS died on the cross but I will also ask you to kindly watch a programme called a Muslim Journey to Hope on the God channel on TV or you can you tube it - where Muslims like I once was changed into christianity because they asked for revelation of the truth - revelations god showed them. You can also go onto You tube and type in Kingdom Connections by Pastor William Ellis who is my Pastor and get additional details if you are still unsure of anything else. God bless you and I hope you are now at ease.

Allah loved Jesus and he did not let him die on the cross.. so he created another man who looked like Jesus and they killed him instead of the real one... if your question is how can Allah create another Jesus just like that? he created him the same way he created Adam and Eve..

According to Scholars, Jesus knew he was going to be killed and asked his followers to take his place and sacrifice themselves for his life. A young man volunteered himself, his face was changed by got to look like Jesus and he was actually the one that was killed. Jesus's sole was uplifted by Allah.

Brother what happened was, when it was revealed to Jesus that the Jews were planning to kill him, he met with his disciples and told them that the Jews are going to kill him. And he asked them 'who among them will sacrifice himself so that Allah will change his looks to be like his, and if the Jews kill him Allah will give him paradise.' A teenager stood up, and said he will. Jesus said to him 'sit down, not you'. He repeated the offer to them 3 times, and each time, only that teenager was standing up. None of the elders stood up. So Jesus prayed to Allah, and Allah changed the teenager to look like Jesus. Then Jesus moved to another room and stood by the window. It was then that Allah took him up to him while his disciples looked. Then the Jews burst into the room the disciples were sitted and saw Jesus look alike amidst the disciples. So they dragged him and crucified him. After that, the disciples divided into 3 groups. The first group said, since Jesus ascended into heaven, he is a god. The second group said no, he is the son of god. While the last group said no, he is what he said he was, the servant of Allah and his messenger. So the first two groups joined together and fought the last group and killed them, hence they continue preaching there lies.

By the time you read this I will be cruising comfortably at or near 36,000 feet on my way to sun-splashed Puerto Vallarta where the city never sleeps and all the boys are negotiable. Interestingly, about a week ago, I found this short article by Daniel Drolet of the Ottawa Citizen about this popular gay destination spot:
"Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico's west coast, has a well-deserved reputation as a choice destination for gay and lesbian travellers. But Don Pickens, owner of PV's Casa Cupula, says too many of those travellers shuttle back and forth between beach, bars and restaurants and don't take the time to venture farther afield. If travellers to Puerto Vallarta ask him where to go to see some natural beauty, Pickens directs them to the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, in the Sierra Madre about 45 minutes south of town. (See www.vbgardens.org/about-us/ for information.) The gardens house, among other things, Mexico's national orchid collection — something Pickens says visitors should not miss."
Well, as it turns out, that is precisely where Chris and I will be staying and precisely where, on one of our jaunts, we plan on going. So, not only will we be seeing this:
But you can rest assured, we will also be seeing a lot of this:

South Florida Bankruptcy Attorneys
Fair Debt Collection Practices
Creditors are barred under the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Florida's Consumer Collection Practices Act from taking certain actions while attempting to collect a debt. If a creditor violates the federal act, you must sue within one year after the intentional act for your lawsuit to be valid. The state law gives you up to two years to file an action.
You might be able to recover damages if you are able to prove that the creditor violated the act intentionally and without a "bona fide error." Here are some of the practices that the acts prohibit creditors from engaging in:
- Using or threatening force or violence;
- Using profane, obscene, vulgar or abusive language;
- Creating a guise of being an attorney or working for an attorney;
- Simulating in any manner a law enforcement officer or governmental agency;
- Disclosing the debt to any other persons or even conveying to the debtor that this information will be conveyed to anyone else;
- Publishing or threatening to publish information about the debt;
- Communicating with you between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.;
- Communicating with you if the debt collector knows you are represented by an attorney (with a few exceptions here); and
- Threatening you with arrest or imprisonment for failing to pay a debt.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of any of these practices or any other acts that seem designed to harass, oppress or abuse, call our Florida bankruptcy lawyers today at 754-400-5150 or contact us online for a FREE CONSULTATION. Our country's history is filled with examples of people who have struggled financially but have gone on to become famously wealthy. They all reclaimed their part of the American Dream and we want to help you reclaim yours! Let the lawyers and staff of the Law Offices of Evan M. Rosen, serve you!

Advantages of event-driven programs
Topic group Related topics
The three major kinds of user interfaces are
Command-line, where the user types commands at a prompt. The MS-DOS operating system, the dBASE Dot Prompt (in DOS versions) and Command window (in Windows versions), are examples of command-line interfaces.
Menu-driven, where the user selects choices from a hierarchy of menu items. Most applications written using prior versions of dBASE provide menu-driven interfaces.
Event-driven, where the user interacts with visible objects, such as forms containing pushbuttons and list boxes, in any sequence. The user interface is event-driven, and you can create event-driven applications using the dBASE language.
Using traditional programming techniques, you can build menu-driven user interfaces. In these applications, the program dictates the sequence of events. If the user selects Order Entry from a menu, the program typically walks through a series of screens asking the user for information: enter the customer name, enter the date and purchase order number, enter the line items, enter the shipping charge.
These menu-driven techniques are not well-suited for programming in event-driven environments such as Windows. In an event-driven application, the user controls program flow. A user can click a button, activate a window, or select a menu choice at any time, and the program must respond to these events in whatever sequence they occur.
In a well-designed event-driven application,
The user can focus on the task, not on the application. The user doesn't have to learn a complex hierarchy of menu choices. Rather, when choosing to enter an order, the user sees an order form similar to a familiar paper form.
The user doesn't need to re-learn how to perform tasks. Because you create an application's interface using familiar objects such as pushbuttons and list boxes, common operations—opening a file, navigating a form, exiting the application—are more consistent across applications.
Most important, event-driven interfaces reflect the way people work in the real world. When clerks write up orders, they pick up forms and fill them out. When they receive checks for orders, they pick up the invoices and mark them as paid. This natural flow of work follows an object-action pattern. That is, a clerk selects an object (an order form, an invoice) and performs some action with it (fills out the order, posts the check).
Likewise, in an event-driven application, the user selects objects (forms, entry fields, pushbuttons) and performs actions with them.

Strategy Pattern is one of the patterns from the Design Patterns : Elements of Reusable Object book. The intent of the strategy pattern as stated in the book is:
Define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.
In this post I would like to give an example or two on strategy pattern and then rewrite the same example using lambda expressions to be introduced in Java 8.
Strategy Pattern: An example
Consider an interface declaring the strategy:
interface Strategy{ public void performTask(); }
Consider two implementations of this strategy:
class LazyStratgey implements Strategy{ @Override public void performTask() { System.out.println("Perform task a day before deadline!"); } } class ActiveStratgey implements Strategy{ @Override public void performTask() { System.out.println("Perform task now!"); } }
The above strategies are naive and I have kept it simple to help readers grasp it quickly. And lets see these strategies in action:
public class StartegyPatternOldWay { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Strategy> strategies = Arrays.asList( new LazyStratgey(), new ActiveStratgey() ); for(Strategy stg : strategies){ stg.performTask(); } } }
The output for the above is:
Perform task a day before deadline! Perform task now!
Strategy Pattern: An example with Lambda expressions
Lets look at the same example using Lambda expressions. For this we will retain our Strategy interface, but we need not create different implementation of the interface, instead we make use of lambda expressions to create different implementations of the strategy. The below code shows it in action:
import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.List; public class StrategyPatternOnSteroids { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Strategy pattern on Steroids"); List<Strategy> strategies = Arrays.asList( () -> {System.out.println("Perform task a day before deadline!");}, () -> {System.out.println("Perform task now!");} ); strategies.forEach((elem) -> elem.performTask()); } }
The output for the above is:
Strategy pattern on Steroids Perform task a day before deadline! Perform task now!
In the example using lambda expression, we avoided the use of class declaration for different strategies implementation and instead made use of the lambda expressions.
Strategy Pattern: Another Example
This example is inspired from Neal Ford's article on IBM Developer works: Functional Design Pattern-1. The idea of the example is exactly similar, but Neal Ford uses Scala and I am using Java for the same with a few changes in the naming conventions.
Lets look at an interface Computation which also declares a generic type T apart from a method
compute which takes in two parameters.
interface Computation<T> { public T compute(T n, T m); }
We can have different implementations of the computation like:
IntSum – which returns the sum of two integers,
IntDifference – which returns the difference of two integers and
IntProduct – which returns the product of two integers.
class IntSum implements Computation<Integer> { @Override public Integer compute(Integer n, Integer m) { return n + m; } } class IntProduct implements Computation<Integer> { @Override public Integer compute(Integer n, Integer m) { return n * m; } } class IntDifference implements Computation<Integer> { @Override public Integer compute(Integer n, Integer m) { return n - m; } }
Now lets look at these strategies in action in the below code:
public class AnotherStrategyPattern { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Computation> computations = Arrays.asList( new IntSum(), new IntDifference(), new IntProduct() ); for (Computation comp : computations) { System.out.println(comp.compute(10, 4)); } } }
The output for the above is:
14 6 40
Strategy Pattern: Another Example with lambda expressions
Now lets look at the same example using Lambda expressions. As in the previous example as well we need not declare classes for different implementation of the strategy i.e the Computation interface, instead we make use of lambda expressions to achieve the same. Lets look at an example:
public class AnotherStrategyPatternWithLambdas { public static void main(String[] args) { List<Computation<Integer>> computations = Arrays.asList( (n, m)-> { return n+m; }, (n, m)-> { return n*m; }, (n, m)-> { return n-m; } ); computations.forEach((comp) -> System.out.println(comp.compute(10, 4))); } }
The output for above is:
14 6 40
From the above examples we can see that using Lambda expressions will help in reducing lot of boilerplate code to achieve more concise code. And with practice one can get used to reading lambda expressions.
Functional Programming in Java: Harnessing the Power of Java 8 Lambda Expressions
Get ready to program in a whole new way!
Functional Programming in Java will help you quickly get on top of the new, essential Java 8 language features and the functional style that will change and improve your code. This short, targeted book will help you make the paradigm shift from the old imperative way to a less error-prone, more elegant, and concise coding style that's also a breeze to parallelize. You'll explore the syntax and semantics of lambda expressions, method and constructor references, and functional interfaces. You'll design and write applications better using the new standards in Java 8 and the JDK.

The start of the neoliberal internetPosted by wgreller under Legal issues
No Comments
This day might, finally, mark the end of the egalitarian internet that we know. Neoliberal market ideas have won the long standing battle for net neutrality which dates back several years (see my posts in 2009, 2010, and 2011). A Federal Court decided against the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and in favour of Verizon.
"The court today struck down the two most important net neutrality rules: one that prevented discrimination in favor of or against websites, and one against outright blocking." (link)
With this ruling, neoliberalism, the flow of free market forces, would finally be able to take over the rule of the web. The potential implications of this are that you only see what you pay for, or: you can only be seen on the web depending on what you pay for!

I brought my family to London to do some shopping, have a meal and see a show. I thought it would be a lovely treat to have cocktails/drinks at the Soho Sky Terrace . The pictures seemed to show an ideal location particularly on a hot summers afternoon. However when we arrived the scene was quite different. My 18 year son commented that, it looked a little like a poorly put together shop display at B&Q. The plastic furniture was old and the flooring of poor synthetic grass did nothing to improve the look. Maybe in the dark this might get by but in the harsh light of a bright summer's afternoon it looked very down market and shabby.
Having been told when I called two days before that we could not reserve, the staff said all the tables had been reserved and were inclined first, to try to turn our party of seven away although there was no one there. Although the bar had lines of spirits on display the drinks menu was extremely limited – only three cocktails. The service was attentive but the lack of understanding was painful at times. Thank goodness it started to spit with rain after our first drink and we collectively decided that another venue might come closer to expectations.
Unless the decor, bar list and general demeanor changes I for one won't be visiting again.

Select Route:
This is a cool and casual nailing route that ascends an obvious crack (now that the mud cover has been removed) on the south-face center of Dunce Rock. I'm sure it's been done many times before. Climb over a roof on small cams/angles to gain a right leaning mud-crack. Nail up and right on a big expando-flake. As the crack fizzles out, beak and hook right to gain the east ridge. Enjoy a cold PBR on the "comodious" ledge. Pitch two traverses out right on the N. Face to gain the drilled-angle ladder to the summit.
South Face of Dunce Rock
Large/medium/small angles - Leeper Zs - a few big peckers - a big hook - and a few cams.

Hey all,
I actually have traded on both BA and /r/beertrade and I prefer the later as they keep a spreadsheet of usernames and what not to make sure that all trades are legit and you get points for every successful trade that takes place and helps people who are new to trading feel better about sending trade (almost like on ebay its better to buy from someone with a lot of feedback and proof of good business versus a first time seller).
I wonder if the Mods would be open to doing the same thing here? I would be more than willing to volunteer as a mod for this thread and help to keep things clean if it was something that everyone thought was a good idea.
I prefer RateBeer because it allows you to give trade feedback after each one is completed... Plus I find there is almost no 'BA BS'
I could setup a trader rating system real easy.
Ive never traded via RateBeer but have actually done BA and /r/beertrade (which I think is the best).
TxBrew do you think that would be something that could be done? I know that keeping track of it can be cumbersome but give the fact that I work behind a computer if you need any help with this section I would be more than willing to try and get rules and what not going. Just an offer
Looks like the rating system is up, looks good!
I saw that yesterday and so far it looks awesome!! Im hoping people can take it serious and help others in need of beers obtain them
Glad you like it!

Serenity: Cluster-Fucked
Once upon a time, there was the barest whiff of a chance that I might be able to write a comic that took place in Joss Whedon's Firefly/Serenity universe. (That whiff blew away when it was announced that Whedon wanted to keep it in the family, and his brother would do the job.)
But I was told to write a five-page sample script to show that I had a handle on the characters. Since it went nowhere, I figure I'd pop this up here as something of a resource. Comic scripts aren't as impossible to find as they used to be, but they all look incredibly different — this is simply the way I write them. It looks a lot like a screenplay because that's how my mind is used to ingesting meant-to-be-visual writing.
But I had more fun writing these five pages than, well, a decent chunk of some of my more recent comics work.

The Wild have struggled in the month of April and while that isn't exactly breaking news, their five straight losses at Xcel Energy Center had their vision of a playoff appearance at the equivalent of a boxer trying to clear the fog as the referee hit seven on a standing 10 count. With the defending Stanley Cup champions in town and three games remaining in the regular season, the bottom line was the Wild needed a win over Los Angeles.
They got it.
After jetting rookies Mikael Granlund and Jason Zucker back to Houston and shifting Cal Clutterbuck back with Jason Pominville and Matt Cullen, the marching orders from head coach Mike Yeo was, less cute, more grit.
The Wild got goals 16 seconds apart from Charlie Coyle and Clutterbuck in the first period to set the tone offensively and Niklas Backstrom, playing in his 13th straight game closed the door in the 2-1 win, the biggest of the season.
The lone Kings goal came with less than a second left in the second period when Jeff Carter rifled a shot past Backstrom for the Kings lone goal.
The win puts the Wild two points ahead of eighth place Columbus and three clear of Detroit and can clinch a playoff spot with a win at home on Friday against Edmonton.
The West:
1. Chicago (73)
2. Anaheim (64)
3. Vancouver (59)
4. Los Angeles (57)
5. San Jose (57)
6. St. Louis (56)
7. Wild (53)
8. Columbus (51)
9. Detroit (50)
10. Dallas (48)

Wild remaining games

Three team trade: Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, and Houston Rockets
Boston celtics: Spencer Hawes and Omri Casspi
76ers: Omer Asik and Kris Humphries
Rockets: Gerald Wallace and Nerlens Noel
I tried at this trade in Espn Trade Machine and the trade idea was successful. The celtics get a good center and a get a good back up at Small forward. Also, they get rid of Gerald Wallace's contact. The rockets get rid of omer Asik and in return they get Nerlens Noel who good be a good prospect in the future. The 76ers lose Hawes but still get a solid center.

The controversy behind goat's blood for multiple sclerosis therapy(04/06/13)
It was 2007 when an article in the U.K. had taken Daval International Ltd. to task for not doing clinical trials on their drug, Aimspro. The article had brought up how, in seven years, only two very small trials had been done and of them, "one was inconclusive and the other was stopped early."
Aimspro is only available in Britain under their "compassionate-use" regulations and that means, like CCSVI, patients have to use their own money to receive treatment. No health insurance companies (or state funded health regulators) will touch a non-FDA or non-MHRA approved therapy.
Since then, phase II of the multiple sclerosis (MS) trial has been completed with decent enough results published Monday but they still need peer-reviewed. It's preliminary at this point and there is still a bit of a debate going on.
Aimspro is a drug that is derived from a goat 's blood and for a while, that was all Mrs. Haven from Lima could focus on. "I have never heard of such a thing and I really don't know how to feel about it," she said after a pausing when she was informed of what Aimspro was.
"Of course, the obvious if it works please get it out there, but," and here she pauses again. "Goat's blood? Huh, and here I feel awful enough for the mice that are given MS so we can study them; much less penning up a bunch of poor goats and taking their blood."
The goat blood/serum results of the 140 patients were pretty decent:
- 122 patients improved in at least one of eight different areas of symptoms, including 40 who improved in two areas
- 27 patients improved in three areas, and 33 improved in four or more
- 16 patients showed no improvement
- 2 patients got worse
Each patient, ages 25 to 68, had received Aimspro for two weeks to three years. The doses ranged from twice weekly to once every two weeks and Christopher E.G. Moore, MSc, MBBS, of Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, England stated, "[results] indicate a dose-response relationship between the total dosage received and the number of clinical areas with improvement."
It is hard telling how this is going to end considering the issues the study had. There were no MRI lesion counts, no Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS) values completed, Moore is lead author and owns stock in the company and a co-author actually works in the company.
When the lack of MRIs was brought to Moore's attention, he commented that MRIs are not part of regular health care there like it is here in the United States.
So, the researchers complete two phases of a clinical study with no objective data; which means, it will not matter how well people are saying they are doing after taking this serum, they are going to play hell making it through MHRA approval; much less get that of the FDA here in the States.

Goat serum extract reported to stop progressive MS(03/06/13)
A controversial product derived from goat blood appeared to benefit patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis in an open-label study, researchers said here.
Among 140 British patients receiving up to 3 years of treatment with the proprietary extract, called Aimspro, in clinical practice, 100 showed improvement in at least two separate areas of MS-related symptomatology, according to Christopher E.G. Moore, MSc, MBBS, of Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, England.
Although Moore and colleagues did not calculate Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS) values for patients in the study, the clinician-estimated improvements in two or more symptom areas ought to translate to decreases of at least 0.5 points in EDSS scores, they argued.
The study results were presented at the joint meeting of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers and the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis.
Aimspro includes a cocktail of immunoglobulins targeting human proteins, including proinflammatory human leukocyte antigens, according to the product's developer, Daval International Ltd. of Eastbourne, England. It also upregulates anti-inflammatory cytokine, the firm said. The drug is administered by subcutaneous injection in doses of 4.5 mg at individually determined intervals, most often twice weekly.
It was originally developed as a potential anti-HIV therapy, but Daval later shifted emphasis to other conditions including MS as well as systemic sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Although AIMSPRO has never been approved anywhere for marketing, the firm is allowed to sell the drug in Great Britain under the country's compassionate-use regulations.
Specifically, Daval is allowed to sell the drug for use in individually named patients with a physician's prescription citing "unmet medical needs." It is produced in a licensed, government-inspected facility in Britain from serum taken from a herd of certified prion-free goats, according to Daval.
Aimspro's de facto availability in Britain has sparked controversy, with one newspaper reporting on patients "spending their life savings [on an] unproven goats' blood treatment."
Moore examined records of 140 patients who received the drug under the compassionate use program. The records analyzed included clinician notes, patient diaries, and questionnaire responses.
Moore determined whether improvement was present in each of the eight areas evaluated in the EDSS, using a scale that awarded two points for "marked" improvement, one point for "some" improvement," and so on to negative two points for marked worsening. "Marked" improvement in this scheme would correspond to a decrease of -0.5 EDSS points, he said.
Mean age of patients in the study was 47 (range 25 to 68) and each had received Aimspro for 2 weeks to 3 years. Dosing ranged from twice weekly to once every 2 weeks. The total number of doses ranged from three to 150. The mean and median duration of disease were both 14 years.
None of the patients were taking conventional disease-modifying MS drugs while on Aimspro.
Of the 140 patients, 122 showed improvement in at least one EDSS area, Moore reported, including 40 who had improvement in two areas, 27 improving in three, and 33 improving in four or more.
Sixteen patients demonstrated no benefit and two showed overall clinical worsening.
Data presented by Moore indicated a dose-response relationship between the total dosage received and the number of clinical areas with improvement.
Missing, though, were any data on objective measures of disease activity such as MRI lesion counts. Moore told MedPage Today that they had not been performed as part of the patients' regular care. He said MRI scans are not part of standard practice in the British system, unlike in the U.S.
Daval has completed a placebo-controlled, double-blind phase II trial of Aimspro in MS patients with measures of bladder function as primary outcomes, but specific results have not been reported publicly, Moore said.
According to Moore, 4 weeks of treatment did not improve bladder function, but secondary endpoints involving other MS symptoms such as walking impairments showed hints of benefit that grew during an open-label extension.
Syed Haq, MBBS, PhD, of Daval, told MedPage Today that the company had recently identified a biomarker that correlates with clinical MS severity and that is altered with Aimspro. He said he could not name the biomarker until the firm files a patent application, which he expected to happen shortly.
The study was supported by Daval International. One co-author was a Daval employee.
Moore reported owning stock in Daval.

text: JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The trial of a woman charged with helping arrange the unlicensed buttocks injections that prosecutors say killed a Georgia woman in 2012 is scheduled to begin Monday in Jackson. Adult entertainer Natasha Stewart, also known as Pebbelz Da Model, is charged with depraved-heart murder and other counts in the death of 37-year-old Karima Gordon of Atlanta. Prosecutors say Gordon paid Stewart $200 for a referral to the person suspected of performing the injections. That person, Tracey Lynn Garner, will go on trial in March. Authorities say Gordon died from blood clots in her lungs days after being injected with a silicone-type substance. Stewart has pleaded not guilty and faces trial in Hinds County Circuit Court. Her lawyers have declined to comment due to a gag order issued by the judge.

Whatever Happened To Mac Davis?
Where to start in talking about the multi-talented Mac Davis.
Legendary songwriter? Ok, the native of Lubbock, Texas wrote great hit's for the legendary King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley, including the moving 'In The Ghetto'.
Singer? Yep, he had huge hits with songs he wrote and recorded including 'Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me', 'Texas In My Rearview Mirror', 'You're My Bestest Friend', 'Stop And Smell The Roses' and his ode to vanity, 'It's Hard To Be Humble'.
TV? Sure, he hosted his own variety show on network television.
Movies? Yes Sir, he co-starred in 'North Dallas Forty', 'Sting II' as well as others.
And his personal appearances and concerts were always packed.
All in all, quite a career!
So whatever happened to Mac Davis?
Well, Mac was plenty busy right into and through the 1980′s, including starring on Broadway in 'The Will Rogers Follies'. He slowed down professionally through the 1990′s and 2000′s.
Now, at the age of 72, he says his office is…the golf course!

'Normal universe' a special case?
View Single Post

'Normal universe' a special case?
Ah, I see. The answer is still no. Quantum mechanical effects are practically universal -- there's really no getting around them. The best candidate for dark matter, WIMPs, are hypothesized to be as of yet undiscovered particles (Which would undoubtedly behave quantum mechanically, entanglement and all). Similarly, the best known explanation for (in principle, if not in magnitude) dark energy is the vacuum energy, a quantum mechanical effect.
The real point here is quantum mechanics is a deep deep underlying theory in the universe. It transcends different types of particles and energies. Perhaps I can crystallize this with an analogy... Suppose we live on a planet with only red balls. We observe a peculiar effect -- they always fall down -- gravity. One day our learned astronomers report they have discovered, elsewhere in the universe, some blue balls. Since we believe the principle of gravity to be something fundamental, which applies to all kinds of matter, we would assume that it applies (and rightly so) to the blue balls as well.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - There is further evidence in local public records that a Lubbock institution is dying or perhaps already dead. If all goes as planned, what used to be Austin's Korner along the Strip will soon become a tire sales and service shop.
Last year Lubbock voters approved off-premise alcohol. The Strip at 98th and Tahoka highway had for years been a near monopoly on package alcohol. The bright lights at night led to its nickname of "little Las Vegas." But those lights are dim now, with package liquor or beer sales scattered throughout town instead of concentrated at the Strip.
According to public records the new tire shop at the former Austin's Korner location will cater to large trucks and trailers.

Springfield, Mass. - April 5, 2013 - Jen Joseph earned a pair of victories to help power the Springfield College softball team to an important doubleheader sweep of WPI Friday afternoon in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play. The Pride won the opener, 8-0, in five innings before clipping the Engineers, 3-2.
Springfield is now 8-12, but 3-1 in league games, while WPI drops to 6-13, 2-5.
In the opener, Springfield wasted little time producing runs. Kelly Blake crushed a leadoff triple in the first and scored on a Christina Leader single up the middle. Leader would then swipe second and crossed the plate after Breann Joyce ripped a single into center.
The Pride tacked on three more runs in the second, producing four hits with two outs. Brielle Engelcrecht hammered a triple to drive in a run, while Jenna Webb added an RBI single and Joyce registered a run-scoring double.
Springfield closed out the game with three more runs in the fourth. With one out and the bases load, pinch hitter Taylor Page cracked a double, scoring both Webb and Joyce. Sam Rentz tacked on the third run coming home thanks to WPI's third error of the contest.
Webb finished the first game going 3-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored, while both Joyce and Leader tallied two hits. Ali LaRue tallied two of the Engineers three hits in the loss, and Christa Coscia (4-6) have up three earned runs off 11 hits while strike out four and walking four.
Jennifer Joseph tossed the first three innings, striking out four while surrendering two hits. Caisie Cadorette came on in relief for the final two frames, allowing just one hit.
It was WPI that scored first in the second contest, plating their only two runs of the game in the opening frame. Nicole McDonough led off the game with a double and after a fielder's choice and sac bunt, scored from third on a Lauren DiFelice single to right. With the bases loaded and two outs, Jacquelyne DiTroia earned a walk to force in DeFelice.
Springfield finally answered with a run in the third after Leader drove in Chelsea Bender from second. The Pride tacked on another run in the fifth, as Ashley Marino led off with a triple and scored on a sac bunt by Bender.
Joseph entered the game in the top of the sixth and got three straight outs, including a pair of strikeouts, to set up the bottom half of the inning. Engelbrecht led off with a two-base hit, and two batters later, Rentz drilled a double to left field to drive in the game-winner. Joseph used two K's and a groundout to grab her second win of the afternoon.
Clare Doolin was charged the loss, as she gave up three earned off five hits. Marino has the no decision, despite five innings of three-hit ball. Joseph's two innings of work was the difference, as she fanned four and did not give up a hit.
Springfield will entertain Clark on Saturday afternoon in a double-dip starting at noon.

A homeowner gets dozens of citations after complaints and police discovered she had too many dogs.
Animal control was back on the scene of a house on Dees road just hours after citing the owner.
"A complainant advised that we needed to come out and check the area of the residence. Upon arrival, our animal control officers observed that there were numerous violations." says Commander Duane Odom with Animal Control
Police say the homeowner had 19 dogs.
They tell us there is a two animal limit per household in the city.
Police say the owner had a variety of breeds at the home.
"It would seem German Shepard was one. A couple of pit bulls." adds Commander Odom
One man says he tried to warn his neighbors about their animals.
"I was like man, you know people, they've been rough on these dogs so you got to be careful about what you're doing. It's so many of them and I said its people out here that don't really care to see you have dogs." says Eric Johnson, a neighbor of the homeowner
The owner received a total of 32 citations.
"There were numerous violations. The first violation was general standards of care of the animals, the second violation that we know of was numerous animals on the property."
The homeowner now faces some hefty fines and possible jail time.
"It is a misdemeanor, regardless of how many citations we issue, 25 dollars up to 500 dollars, and it has up to five years imprisonment." says Commander Odom
A total of three dogs were taken during animal controls second visit due to health reasons.
The rest of the animals remain on the property.
Police say zoning will be sent to the home for further review.
The matter is currently under investigation.
If you'd like to report issues with too many animals, you're asked to call 3-1-1.

The Nikon Coolpix S60 has a touch controlled LCD screen. This is used to select all the camera options including basic features such as flash and zoom. It has 10 megapixels. The Coolpix S60 is small enough to slip into a pocket and has a slightly longer than standard 5x zoom lens for this type of camera. One feature I really like is being able to touch the screen to set focusing and auto exposure.
Why Buy The Nikon Coolpix S60
With its touch controlled LCD screen this camera offers something different from most pocket digital cameras. It also looks good, takes a decent picture and is relatively easy to use.
Main Features
LCD Screen:
3.5 inches
97.5 x 60 x 22mm
HD Movies:
Manual Controls:
Memory Cards:
Lithium-ion Rechargeable
Image Quality - See Sample Images Below
Outdoor Scenic Shots in Good Light
I like the colours and the overall look of this photo. The Coolpix S60 does well with focusing with only a small amount of softening as you move towards the edges of the photo. It also copes well with the glare produced by the low sun.
Focusing is good for such a small camera with the lens zoomed right out. In places there is a purple tinge to some areas of the photo. To be honest this is not likely to show up unless you are planning to make super sized prints. One factor that does concern me is that the corners of the photo are darker. This is a problem that shows in a number of my test shots and there is no way to get round this problem aside from cropping your photos.
Here you can see the benefit of the extra zoom over many smaller digital cameras. This is another picture where the colours are vivid. This helps to produce a pleasant scene.
The sharpness of the photos I have taken with the Coolpix S60 is good, but they do not hit the heights of those I produced with the Nikon Coolpix S710 recently. This photo is another example of darker areas creeping into the corners of the shot.
This is good effort from the Coolpix S60. Most cameras are capable of reeling off this type of photo without much of a problem. You should be able to produce plenty of portrait shots for the family album.
The flash unit does not produce a great deal of light. Although there is enough for the face to be lit, the hair is dark in places. Darkness also creeps into the corners again.
It is quite difficult to tell the difference between the indoor photo taken with flash and the one without. This photo has a natural look to it and the skin tones are about right. The darker corners are in evidence here too.
Macro, Colours and Noise
I like the macro shot. It is very clear and has great definition. It works much better than most of the Nikon digital cameras I have tested recently. While this is not a camera for a serious macro photographer you should be able to produce good quality, close up snap shots. According to the specification you need to be 9cm away before the camera is able to focus, but I managed to get the camera to focus from closer in than that.
The colours are well balanced and have power without being overbearing. The brightness of the photos is also worth commenting on.
The Coolpix S60 is inline with a lot of other smaller digital cameras when you increase the ISO rating. The noise levels at ISO 400 are noticeable, but if it's the only way to get a picture, then it levels are acceptable. At ISO 1600 there is little picture quality.
It is a shame that so many of my test shots have darker corners. This may or may not be that important to you, but it can be quite noticeable. Otherwise picture quality compares well with other pocket cameras.
The Coolpix S60 has a high gloss finish. This gives the impression of good quality. The front curves to add interest and all in all this is a stylish camera. You should not have a problem slipping it into a pocket.

Ease of Use
The touch screen does not make the camera any easier to use, but I would say it is a bit more fun. The text used in the menu system is a good size and you should have no problem reading it.
Points I Like
Touch screen control - build quality - help text - touch control auto focusing and auto exposure
Where it Could Improve
Darkness in the corner of many photos
If you are attracted by the touch screen then there are not many alternatives out there. The Nikon Coolpix S60 is as good if not better than its competitors when it comes to picture quality. Nikon appear to have most things right with the Coolpix S60.

The power of the lens also gives you plenty of scope for capturing a wide range of photo opportunities. It is true you pay a little extra than with more standard pocket cameras, but if you also include the stylish look of this model there is a lot on offer for the price tag.

Canon IXUS 125 HS Rating 86/100
If you are looking for a pocket camera and you are prepared to pay extra for picture quality and build quality then the Canon IXUS 125 HS is a good choice. Although it doesn't have all the latest features like 360 degree panoramas it does an excellent job when it comes to taking pictures. It is straightforward, easy to use and will fit into just about any pocket.
Read Review: Canon IXUS 125 HS Review
Canon IXUS 1100 HS Rating 85/100
The Canon IXUS 1100 HS is a very good choice if you are looking for a pocket digital camera with a combination of a longer zoom lens and touch control. Once you get used to the screen and improve your touch accuracy it responds well. Picture quality compares favourably with other pocket cameras. The style and build suggest a bit of extra class too. The IXUS 1100 HS ticks most of the boxes for a camera in this category.

ARCADIA, Calif. (April 15, 2012) – Returning to grass footing and dropping in class, Jerry and Ann Moss's Blingo likely will be a prohibitive favorite among five 3-year-olds in Friday's $75,000 La Puente Stakes at 1 1/8 miles over Santa Anita's Camino Real Turf Course.
The gelded son of Artie Schiller won his racing debut by 2 ¼ lengths while going one mile on turf at Hollywood Park last November before finishing sixth in a pair of non-turf stakes, the Grade I CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park and Santa Anita's Grade II San Felipe Stakes on March 10.
Hall of Famer Mike Smith, who has been aboard in all three of Blingo's starts for trainer John Shirreffs, will once again be in the saddle when the $80,000 yearling purchase attempts to boost his earnings of $57,000.
His opposition includes Tiz Point, Diamond A Racing's homebred son of Tiznow, who pressed the early pace in the San Felipe before fading to eighth in the field of 10. Rafael Bejarano rides the bay colt trained by Richard Mandella. Tiz Point has earned $72,440 from a 2- 1- 1 record in seven starts.
The complete field for the La Puente Stakes, with jockeys and weights in post position order: Buffalo Billy, David Flores, 116; Blingo, Mike Smith, 118; Tiz Point, Rafael Bejarano, 120; Captain Obvious, Mario Gutierrez, 116, and Vibrato Jazz, Joel Rosario, 118.
The La Puente is carded as the seventh race on an eight-race program as Santa Anita presents the last of its "Free Fridays" attractions. In addition to free General Admission, hot dogs, sodas and beers may be purchased for $2 each.
