A high impact competition in hauppauge high school that includes numerous teams which consists of 3 males and 3 females where the girls are as strong and equally competitive as the guys. We are going to dominate all the stupid sluts and hoes who think they have athletic ability but in reality are just doing it for the attention.
You dont know whats coming at you with our intense dodgeball team!
dodane przez Melissa grudzień 14, 2004
Where at least half of my school memories were made. A game where you can just unleash your anger and have some fun with your friends. At my school we played it every single friday and I had PE last period and that was basiclly "a short cut to the weekend". What made it really fun was if you hit someone in the head you get bonus points because they have to take someone on there tam out with them. We also had a rule that if you got hit so hard and you went to the ground you also had to take someone out with you. But now we have dumb ass parents that are complaining about there kids getting a little bruise or cut on them. Well parents I got a newsflash for you: YOU CAN GET HURT IN EVERY SINGLE SPORT POSSIBLE!!!!!!! So if your one of those parents well how bout you go buy your kid a sumo suit and let them play before you ruin it for everyone.
OMG my kid got a microscopic bruise on him from playing Dodgeball lets sue the school board!!!!!! WTF people its school shit happens. If your kid would actually dodge like the game title says you wouldnt have that problem.

A game often enjoyed by well meaning kids. Often encouraged by sadistic gym teachers in a disguised effort to punish the students that they don't like.
Little Bobby likes playing dodgeball, but not at school where the coach puts all the big kids on one team.

Off road knee guards provide knee support and protection during those long races or trail rides. You will find low prices on all the latest designs from the top motocross brands.
MICHAEL in NY
UNLESS YOUR 6'6'' AND 350 LBS ADULT SIZE WONT FIT. STRAPS ARE TO LONG. PIVOT SCREW AT KNEE WILL TEAR UP ANY GRAPHICS YOU HAVE ON THE TANK AFTER TEARING THRU YOUR PANTS. IF THEY FIT CORRECTLY I THINK THEY WOULD PROTECT YA BUT BEING SO BIG THERE IS TOO BIG A GAP BETWEEN YOUR KNEE AND THE GUARD. NOT A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY AT THE KNEE.Read All Reviews
Robert in OR
Overall I have always been happy with the quality of Leatt products and I was looking to replace my worn out knee/shin protectors I decided to go with these. I followed the instructions on measuring - The recommendations are spot on and they fit great. Compared to my older dual axis knee guards from another manufacturer these are smaller and more comfortable but still provide full protection. They don't pinch or hinder movement. But I do recommended wearing a sleeve under them as otherwise it can get uncomfortable after a while.Read All Reviews
Brandon in NC
I have had several sets of knee braces / guards but none have ever rubbed my knee caps raw as these did. There is a rubber knee cup which drags your skin every time you bend your leg. Some knee brace socks may help this.Read All Reviews

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Aug. 13, 2010
City of Kansas City, Mo. highlighted in
"Getting Smart about Climate Change"
The City of Kansas City, Missouri's commitment to climate protection and sustainability has been recognized by the International City/County Management Association in a recent report titled "Getting Smart about Climate Change." The report highlights how local governments in urban and suburban areas, in small towns, and rural areas in every region of the country are incorporating smart growth principles into their climate protection plans and sustainability initiatives.
"Kansas City has wisely focused on energy and sustainability issues, and because of that we are ahead of the game," said Mayor Mark Funkhouser. "Our willingness to work with regional partners and to set attainable goals has made us a model for other communities."
The report includes case studies on how Kansas City, Mo., Sarasota County, Fla. and Santa Monica, Calif. are creating more sustainable and resilient communities. Under the heading of "Sensible Sustainability and Regional Collaboration in Kansas City, Missouri," the report showcases the City of Kansas City, Missouri's Climate Protection Plan and the City's regional leadership across the bi-state metropolitan area in promoting sustainability among other municipalities and the business community.
"As a City Council, we have made climate protection and sustainability two of the top priorities for the operation of city government in Kansas City," said Councilwoman Beth Gottstein.
The report notes how the City's Climate Protection Plan identifies smart growth goals as critical issues, including efforts to reduce dependence on driving by increasing public transportation and building homes and workplaces in proximity.
It concludes by noting Kansas City's use of Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECGB) funds from the U.S. Department of Energy to update the City's development code to promote energy efficient transportation and to work in partnership with the Mid-America Regional Council and other EECBG formula grant recipient communities in the metro area to implement a regional energy framework to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
After reviewing the new report, Councilwoman Cindy Circo noted that "We are pleased to see Kansas City's climate protection and sustainability efforts recognized nationally and highlighted in this new publication by ICMA."
The document "Getting Smart about Climate Change" is attached as a PDF.
Media inquiries about this issue should be directed to Dennis Murphey, chief environmental officer, 816-513-3459.

Washington Irving said, "A kind heart is a fountain of gladness…"
Kind hearts called law enforcement and animal rescue when they witness an all-too-common scene; a black lab, a yellow lab, and eight puppies-being neglected, starved, and then abandoned at a rural property.
This whole motley canine crew had found their way to this couple's house-as word had spread through the doggie grapevine that there were hand-outs up the road. This kind hearted couple had already acquired several abandoned dogs of their own and were overwhelmed. We were able to make foster care arrangements for the puppies and called to notify the couple that we were on our way. The woman told me that a kind-hearted gentleman,who lived a few miles up the road, came by and offered to help with the puppies. He took four of them. Call me a skeptic, but I'm a little suspicious of a guy who just comes by,takes four puppies,and admits he already has nine permanent strays of his own.
Helen and I set out over hill and dale to find the neighbor's home tucked somewhere back in the hills south of us. We could not find the address we were given. We passed several properties along the way and noticed a man working outdoors. I gave him the name and address of the people we were looking for and told him what we were about. He grinned and escorted us to come out to a workshop, where three puppies sat in the doorway. We'd stumbled upon the person that had taken the other four puppies. His eyes got misty as he told me that one of the puppies died over the weekend, just too weak from malnourishment to eat and recover. His wife came out of the house to greet us. She told stories of how they acquired their furry family that gathered around our feet, all of which had been abandoned over the years. Had we not come along, they would have given the puppies the best care they could. Her husband's heart was just too tender toward these dear creatures to turn them away if he had the means to help them. The man choked with emotion as he expressed deep appreciation for what we do. As we loaded the puppies into the Jeep, he handed us a generous donation.
When we finally arrived at the house we'd initially been looking for, four puppies came bounding out to meet us. Their distended bellies hung on little boney frames. Their mama greeted us carrying her favorite rock in her mouth. Puppy Daddy escorted us in the drive with a happy tail wag. We scooped up the four puppies and reunited them with their siblings in the car. The kind hearts who had kept these animals alive said they would keep Daddy Dog. They would get him neutered and vaccinated. He could live out his days with them. They asked us for help to find the yellow lab mom a good home and then told us there was another little white dog that was keeping vigil at the abandoned home. They'd tried to get her to come to their house for food but she just wouldn't. We found her warily peering around the corner of some bushes watching us when she heard the car pull up to her drive. The poor faithful dog was so matted that she could barely walk or see. The little ragamuffin eventually got brave enough to come out to us. We blinked back tears at the sight of the shape she was in. Helen wrapped her in a towel and held her close.
We settled the puppies in their new accommodations and I took the little white one home for an unveiling. Underneath all that filth and matting was an adorable little white dog-and sweet-hearted to boot! She endured the grooming process like a little trooper! This grateful little dog is sleeping at my feet today as I write this story.
Proverbs 3:3 says, "Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." Most dogs have that proverb imprinted on their hearts. It's great when we meet people who do too.
Written by Leanne Williams, president of Faithful Friends Animal Advocates

Norman Lebrecht, British classical music blogger and author of many books including "Why Mahler" and "The Maestro Myth: Great Conductors In Pursuit of Power" (one of my favorite books) has turned his attention to Rochester.
Apparently the Rochester Philharmonic is on the ropes.
They are having terrible money and administrative problems and my heart goes out to them.
On the other hand, you have to laugh, just have to, at the picture Norman has on his blog of their music director, Arild Remmereit (pictured at left) and their executive director who do not talk to each other. Things have reportedly become so bad between them that they now communicate only through a mediator. Not a good sign.
The Wall Street Journal reports on the situation here.

It's been 20 years since Donna Tartt took the publishing world by storm with The Secret History. The tale of six college students unhealthily obsessed with the classics and with each other, the novel became a somewhat unlikely best-seller. It also has influenced seemingly every other academic novel that has been written since, perhaps most notably Marisha Pressl's 2006 Special Topics in Calamity Physics, which replaced the Latin and Greek with science and the small private college with a prep school.
So do we really need The Year of the Gadfly (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), a new novel by Jennifer Miller about a possibly villainous secret society at a small New England prep school? Probably not. However, if you're a fan of the genre, as I must admit I am, having read The Secret History at a rather impressionable time (that is to say, while studying classics at prep school), The Year of the Gadfly is a mostly delightful addition to the canon and a better-than-average summer read.
The novel begins as 14-year-old Iris Dupont leaves tony Beacon Hill in Boston for the tiny fictional town of Nye in Western Massachusetts. From the first page, you know you've entered a world of privilege—Iris' mother is described as an "Ivy League MRS recipient and full-time philanthropy board member"—and that you have a precocious narrator—Iris has researched Nye at the Boston Public Library, and she willingly changes the channel to NPR.
In short order, we learn that Iris has plans to become a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and that she regularly converses with the spirit of Edward R. Murrow. You will most likely find this detail charming or annoying—I fall into the former camp, so I was quickly sucked into Iris' world as she joins the school newspaper, only to learn that, for some reason, the staff isn't reporting on the scandals shaking the student body.
There is, of course, an odd, magnetic teacher, Dr. Jonah Kaplan, a former student of Mariana Academy who has returned home to teach biology to high-school students, turning down a prestigious post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Massachusetts. Unlike the majority of novels of this type, we actually get chapters from Jonah's perspective, which provides a nice breath of grown-up sanity, as Iris' search for the mysterious secret society, Prisom's [sic] Party, turns creepy and claustrophobic.
The novel also flashes back to 1999 to tell the story of Lily Morgan, an albino who once lived in Iris' house and once dated Jonah's brother. Lily is the outcast to end all outcasts at school, and her attempts to fit in lead her into danger.
If this sounds like a lot of plot, well, it's not even the half of it. Everyone in the book is hiding his or her own dark secrets, and it's the unravelling of those secrets (as predictable and easy to guess as some of them may be) that make The Year of the Gadfly such fun.
Still, there's a dark undercurrent to the novel—everyone is grieving the loss of someone close, and the damage Prisom's Party does is malicious and real. Even Edward R. Murrow is not who he appears to be. There's a falsity to hero worship and the desire to fit in, Miller seems to be saying, even if the consequence is perpetual solitude.
But the charm of the novel is not the depths it tries (somewhat unsuccessfully) to plumb, it's the smart and breezy way in which the characters, Iris especially, tell their story. Reading the book, I couldn't help but think of that spate of late 1990s teen movies—Can't Hardly Wait, She's All That, Cruel Intentions, and the like. There was kind of an innocence to those movies that isn't present in shows like Gossip Girl or the new version of 90210.
Iris is refreshingly not concerned with pop culture or fashion or sex or even gossip, except the kind that relates to the story she's covering (although she does use her iPhone quite frequently for research.) Her character may not be totally realistic in this day and age, but it still makes for a welcome change from so much information overload. It's nice to think that maybe there are kids out there who read weird books and lionize old-school journalists in an era when TMZ rules the breaking news.
Old-fashioned or not, The Year of the Gadfly is an engaging read and a promising debut for Miller. It may be a little too clever for its own good at times, but it's one of the smarter and engrossing books I've read in a while. Take it to the beach and be glad you aren't still in high school.

Is Obama Having It Both Ways on Gay Marriage?
Conservatives say the president has expressed both support for and opposition to gay marriage.
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
Townhall has posted this video juxtaposing what it says are President Obama's conflicting views on gay marriage, variously offered before the Human Rights Campaign's annual dinner last weekend and at Rick Warren's Saddleback Civil Forum last summer.
The video is labeled Obama's 2 Faces: From Saddleback to Brokeback.
My take: There's not necessarily a contradiction here. Here's what Obama said at Saddleback last year:
I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. . . . I'm not someone who promotes same-sex marriage.
And here's what the president told the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights group, a few days ago:
You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman.
The question is whether calling gay relationships "just as real and admirable" as straight ones is tantamount to calling for gay marriage. I don't think so.
Explaining his opposition to gay marriage in 2004, Obama said, "I'm a Christian, and so although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman.
Can Obama believe that gay relationships are "just as real and admirable" as straight ones without feeling that they deserve church sanction? I think so.
In fact, it appears to be a widely held position in the United States. A new Pew poll finds that nearly 6 in 10 Americans support civil unions, which implies that most see gay relationships as real and admirable. But the same poll found that just 4 in 10 Americans support gay marriage.
The big difference between civil unions and gay marriage is that the latter have religious connotations, the former only legal ones. Most Americans, the Pew survey suggests, support legal sanction for gay couples but not religious sanction. Obama appears to hold the same nuanced position.

Sick Day Substitute
Of all the scenarios I thought would play out at High Point Furniture Market, getting sick did not figure into the mix. A nasty cold has completely felled me and ravaged my throat. Until I can get it together, I'm leaving you with photos from the townhouse Jeffrey Bilhuber redesigned for Trey Laird and his family. I posted pics of their old home here in 2008 and it was fun to see the evolution. I'm really glad they kept that fabulous fireplace though. Enjoy.

The dipnet fishery is going to 24 hours-a-day, as of 11pm tonight. Kenai City Manager Rick Koch responded to the decision in an email to the Department, calling the decision "extremely disappointing," given the Department knows the beach will be closed during extremely high tides, and the city needs several hours a night to conduct basic cleaning and maintenance.
Koch: "We need uninterrupted time that we don't have to worry about conflicts with people and heavy equipment. So, you know, we took into consideration Fish & Game's request that we not require fish to be removed whole from the beach, but now they've taken an action that is going to make it more difficult for us to undertake the management strategy that we selected."
Koch said Fish & Game's influence was one reason the City decided to opt for more extensive raking and dumpster maintenance.

Rick get a life and let the Dip Netters along!!!!! Your just trying to justify your extra paycheck during this dip net season……..

CLINICAL: For fiscal year 2011 the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery performed 1,017 surgical procedures, an increase of 8% from last year. The total number of clinic visits decreased by 3.6% at a total of 2,408, with work RVUs at 50,000 which represents a 4% decrease from FY10. The reduction in wRVUs was associated with the departure of Dr. Hines, resulting in the transfer of the ECMO wRVUs out of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
The department plans to continue its relationship with the VA Medical Center in Salisbury by having Dr. Adrian Lata here two days per week. This will continue to provide increased numbers of thoracic mediastinoscopies and esophageal endoscopy procedures as required by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery to satisfy the resident's board eligibility. Dr. Lata's practice will consist of non-cardiac thoracic and adult cardiac.
An expansion of the Thoracic Oncology Program, the region's only multidisciplinary thoracic oncology clinic, is planned with the recruitment of a lead surgeon in Thoracic Surgical Oncology. The goal is to facilitate communication between physicians to provide the highest level of care for patients with common as well as rare malignancies of the chest. Due to the growth of the Heart Failure Program, there are also plans to recruit a thoracic surgeon in April, 2012 to serve as the Director of the VAD Program.
Wake Forest Baptist was chosen as one of forty centers to participate in the Medtronic Core Valve US Pivotal Trial (01/19/11 - 01/19/17) and the Co-PIs are Drs. Neal D. Kon and Robert B. Applegate. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of the transcatheter aortic valve replacement device. To date this center has performed 12 procedures.
Dr. Edward Kincaid, PI continues to enroll subjects in his NIH Grant entitled "Improving Neurologic Outcomes in Diabetics Undergoing Cardiac Surgery" (Grant Number 5R01HL89115-5) that was awarded for the project period of 02/15/08 - 01/31/13. He anticipates determining if intensive management of diabetes can improve neuropsychologic outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
ACADEMIC: For fiscal year 2012, The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery has 2 fellows. The Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Core Program is currently a two year program and the most recent site visit was conducted by the ACGME on 8/23/11. The department participates in the Thoracic Surgery Match and accepts 1 resident each year. Due to the decrease in the number of applicants, the Program Director and faculty decided to submit an application for a 6-Year Integrated Residency Program on 05/06/2011. With the approval and support of the Director, Division of Surgical Sciences the application was submitted and the ACGME conducted the initial site visit for the new integrated program on August 23, 2011. Following approval of the integrated program an additional resident will be added for the next four years and institutional funding of these positions has been approved.
Dr. John Hammon directs a Cardiothoracic Surgery Interest Group which consists of mostly first and second year medical students. The focus of this interest group is to provide a glimpse of cardiothoracic surgery that is otherwise not available until much later.

Complete Series: Claire McCaskill and Sherrod Brown
- PART 1: Two Senators, Two Strategies
- PART 2: The Plight of Dems in Coal Country
- PART 3: Sherrod Brown's Liberal Crusade
Senators seeking reelection in 2012 face a political landscape vastly different from the one that helped them to victory nearly five years ago. Starting in 2006, three consecutive wave cycles swept Democrats into power, then swept them back out—and, along the way, elected the first African-American president. Contributing to the political volatility in recent years, voters were contending with the threat of an economic collapse and with the consequences of two drawn-out wars.
Clearly, faith in the American Dream has been shaken. So, too, has voters' deference to incumbency. In 2010, that increasingly skeptical attitude—morphing into open hostility in some cases—pushed out such lawmakers as Republican Sen. Robert Bennett in Utah and Democratic Sen. Russell Feingold in Wisconsin who were once viewed as untouchable.
Every lawmaker running in 2012 has to be mindful of voter volatility, but perhaps none more so than Senate Democrats in swing states, who will have to decide how closely to align with President Obama. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Claire McCaskill of Missouri are in this group, and over the next 19 months National Journal will periodically check in to see how these two senators are faring as they pursue very different approaches to winning reelection.
Elected in the Democratic wave of 2006, both are veteran public officials who benefited from the voter backlash toward President Bush, particularly over his handling of the Iraq war and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Bush's disapproval ratings were key to both of their victories. In Ohio, 58 percent of voters disapproved of Bush's performance in November 2006, and they broke 85 percent to 15 percent for Brown. In Missouri, 53 percent of voters disapproved of the president; they broke 83 percent to 14 percent for McCaskill.
But Democrats don't have Bush to kick around anymore; efforts to invoke the former president's name in contested 2010 elections did no significant damage to Republican candidates. Obama is the only president voters are thinking of now, and Gallup's February 23 state-by-state survey gave Obama a 47 percent approval rating in Ohio and a 41 percent positive rating in Missouri.
These numbers are obviously relevant to the president's reelection, but also to Brown's and McCaskill's. Ohio is one of nine states that Democratic nominee John Kerry lost in 2004 but Obama picked up 2008 (he won there by 5 percentage points). The president could win reelection without carrying Ohio, but it would leave him little margin for error in other swing states.
Missouri is a different story. Although Obama lost there by only 4,000 votes in 2008, the state is trending Republican. "I don't think Missouri is remotely competitive for Obama in 2012," said Steve Hilton, a veteran of Missouri GOP politics who was an aide to then-Sen. John Ashcroft.
Therein lies a distinction between Brown and McCaskill that will likely shape their paths to reelection.
Aided by Obama's attention to Ohio, Brown's campaign will focus on mobilizing the Democratic base, wooing swing independent voters, and working to get 2008's first-time Obama voters back to the polls. As one of the Senate's most reliable liberal votes, Brown is unlikely—either by temperament or politics—to avoid confrontation. He will instead build a stark contrast with his Republican opponent. Jack Torry of The Columbus Dispatch and the Dayton Daily News neatly summed up Brown's positioning among his electorate in a February column. Comparing the current senator to former Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, Torry wrote, "Brown's heart is to the left of most Ohio voters."
McCaskill's reelection campaign will try to convince enough of her former backers that she is the same woman they sent to Washington in 2006. For the Missouri Democrat, it's less about creating a sharp contrast with her Republican opponent than about blurring partisan lines. McCaskill is in the Democratic Party, her campaign will convey, but she is not of the Democratic Party. Her task has been greatly complicated by recent revelations that she failed to pay taxes on a private plane she owned with her husband. "This is the kind of mistake that I know is one that people won't forget," McCaskill told a radio interviewer, "and I can only hope they will take it in context of all the work I've done."
By the numbers, Brown and McCaskill are good examples of the divergent paths within the Senate Democratic Caucus. Brown is one of nine senators tied for the distinction of most liberal, according to National Journal's 2010 vote ratings. McCaskill, although a friend of the president, frequently works with Republicans on policy initiatives. Her votes last year landed her in the center of the chamber, at 47th-most liberal. Many of the party's other vulnerable senators—including Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida, and Jon Tester of Montana—are clustered nearby in the vote ratings.
In the Senate, Brown and McCaskill voted similarly on many of the defining pieces of legislation in their first term: They both supported the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the $800 billion economic-stimulus package, and the health care overhaul. Their Republican opponents will surely try to use those votes against them in 2012.
A closer look at their records shows that the lawmakers frequently split on economic matters, on votes related to the size and scope of the federal government, and on Congress's authority to spend. Last year, McCaskill voted to cut federal spending and establish statutory discretionary spending limits, and she has been a lonely Democratic advocate of a ban on earmarks. She has opposed efforts to tighten leverage and liability limits for bank-holding companies and other financial institutions. Although she opposes tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, McCaskill has been generally wary of tax increases.
On domestic issues, she has taken a tough stance on illegal immigration, voting to deploy troops to the U.S.-Mexico border and to ramp up spending for border security. She opposed a 2007 bill that would have created a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. McCaskill has also been hawkish on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, often siding with Republicans on funding and timetables. She has generally acknowledged the existence of global warming, but she assiduously avoided taking a position during the debate on the ultimately unsuccessful climate-change bill sponsored by Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California. McCaskill has since avoided reporters' attempts to question her on climate change.
But as much as the policy stances matter—and they do—much of McCaskill's case to voters relies on personal factors, which is why the plane controversy is so potentially damaging. She is an aggressive and skilled communicator who has worked hard to couple her folksy, down-home Missouri image with media savvy and a bold edge. She has cultivated a Twitter following in part because she personally knocks off her 140-character messages, instead of leaving that task to her aides, as most other lawmakers do. She is attentive and engaging with constituents across her state, particularly in rural areas where her path to victory may rest.
In the Senate, McCaskill relishes taking an independent course. In February, she locked arms with Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., to introduce a bill to reduce total federal spending—both discretionary and mandatory—to a target of approximately 20.6 percent of gross domestic product, the historical average of federal spending. She is the only Democrat to sign onto the bill; in a floor speech, she conceded that the move was politically risky.
At a press conference announcing the legislation, McCaskill embraced her single-mindedness. "I believe that the biggest issue that faces our Congress right now is how do we get our fiscal house in order over the next decade," she said. "And I am going to work—and I can be really obnoxious—with my colleagues, trying to get them to see the light." Corker told National Journal that he asked McCaskill to join his legislative effort because she has shown sincerity on fiscal issues. Noting her earlier bipartisan efforts with Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., Corker said, "I have found her to be someone who really wants to deal with the spending issues, and I sought her out for that reason; I know that she's worked with people on both sides of the aisle to pass those issues."
McCaskill's relationship with the president is sure to be a factor in her campaign. She was one of the first senators to endorse Obama in 2008. Although the Missouri Democrat has distanced herself from him in recent months on spending cuts and on legislative efforts to allow some people to opt-out of the health care law's mandate, her opponents are sure to highlight her friendship with the president.
Obama's endorsement of her at a St. Louis fundraiser in 2010 offered the kind of rhetoric opposition ads are made of. He praised "my dear, dear friend Claire McCaskill," and said, "I love Claire McCaskill. Love, love Claire McCaskill!" Still, the president and the senator are very different types. Obama has been criticized for sometimes taking a highbrow tone with voters; McCaskill, by contrast, has had a way of putting issues in everyday terms. After Obama admitted to using "poor syntax" in the 2008 campaign in comments he made about guns and religion, McCaskill chided the candidate because "where I come from that's the tax you have to pay on beer."
From her perch atop a subcommittee with oversight over government contracting, McCaskill has aggressively examined the federal government's multibillion-dollar contracting process. It's a role that tends to earn critics inside the Beltway, but it doesn't necessarily get noticed or deliver results back home. Her oversight work had, however, helped to build her bona fides as a good steward of the public purse.
That public image recently took some heavy blows when Politico revealed that McCaskill used taxpayer dollars to pay for flights on a private plane owned by her husband and other associates and that the couple owed back taxes on the plane. She has reimbursed the Treasury more than $400,000, but the damage from the "Air Claire" debacle clearly jeopardizes her reelection.
Not surprisingly, Republicans are already criticizing her use of the plane. It is an issue that hits home with voters, and it undercuts the persona of government reformer that McCaskill, a former state auditor, has spent her political life crafting. Republican strategists say that the flap played directly into their hands because it bolsters their charge that McCaskill has "gone Washington" since voters elected her in 2006. The controversy also serves as a reminder that the best-laid reelection strategies can be undone by forces that have nothing to do with national political trends or controversial votes in Congress.
Brown, like McCaskill, sometimes has a rhetorically combative style. But where McCaskill takes aim broadly at partisanship and failures of government, Brown is a proud partisan, an avowed Democrat with liberal leanings. The Ohioan has backed a series of measures to extend unemployment benefits during the economic downturn, casting the extensions as crucial support for millions of economically ailing Americans. McCaskill has voted to extend jobless benefits but has also joined with other fiscal conservatives in questioning how long the government can provide the benefits without effectively creating a new entitlement program.
The Ohioan, meanwhile, sharply criticizes Republicans' economic policies—in particular, the push for dramatic cuts in discretionary spending. Doing so would cost jobs and slow economic growth, Brown argues. "The debate on the budget for the next year offers a clear contrast between the two parties. We need to make cuts; we've proposed ways to reduce the deficit, like eliminating $20 billion in handouts to oil companies that make record profits," he told reporters. "Why not eliminate subsidies for Big Oil? Why not eliminate tax giveaways for companies that ship jobs overseas? With those two actions alone, we could reduce the deficit by $40 billion."
Brown has also waded into the fights between unions and GOP lawmakers in Ohio and Wisconsin, taking a position that could figure prominently in his reelection campaign. "We as a country, we stand for a more egalitarian workforce," he said on the Senate floor in early March. "We stand for workers' rights. We believe workers should organize and bargain collectively if they choose. We believe in a minimum wage. We believe in workers' compensation. We believe in worker safety. We believe in human rights. And all of that is about the labor movement." His penchant for antagonizing Republicans can sometimes get him in trouble, however. In the same speech, Brown invoked Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin—likening their opposition to labor unions to the GOP's efforts to restrict collective-bargaining rights. He later apologized for those references.
In Ohio, the renewed focus on labor could prove potent in 2012 elections. The Republican governor and GOP-controlled Legislature have moved to reduce the bargaining rights of the state's public employee unions. On Capitol Hill, Republicans have invigorated efforts to push the Obama administration to finalize stalled trade pacts with South Korea, Panama, and Colombia. Collective bargaining and trade have the potential to mobilize voters in Brown's economically hard-hit state. In 2006, 28 percent of voters came from union households, and they voted 68 percent to 32 percent for Brown.
However, Ohio's free-trade skeptics have been willing to vote for Republicans, as well. In 2010, 66 percent of state voters said they believed that the North American Free Trade Agreement cost jobs, but in the Senate race, they supported Republican Rob Portman—a former U.S. trade representative, a NAFTA supporter, and a staunch free-trade advocate—by 58 percent to 37 percent over Democrat Lee Fisher. Part of Brown's task ahead is to persuade those voters to return to his fold.
Brown played a critical, albeit eventually fruitless, role during Washington's climate-change negotiations in 2009. To secure the votes of a bloc of Midwestern lawmakers, he tried to wring concessions from the Obama administration and Boxer on amending the legislation to add greater protections and incentives for manufacturing jobs. The momentum fizzled on the Hill, however, and voters proved hostile to the politics of climate change, last year electing a wave of GOP lawmakers who openly question the science behind it.
Mindful of that hostility, Brown is now a leading voice among Senate Democrats urging the Obama administration to slow the pace of the Environmental Protection Agency's regulations on greenhouse-gas emissions. Not incidentally, those rules could have a particularly damaging effect on jobs in his coal-dependent home state.
Until last week, The Cook Political Report deemed the Senate races in Missouri and Ohio to "lean Democratic." The analysts have now shifted McCaskill's race to the "toss-up" category in the wake of the private-plane controversy. Even if that controversy had never erupted, both races have the makings of marquee contests.
Although Brown and McCaskill are vulnerable, the political maxim still holds: You can't beat somebody with nobody. In 2010, Republicans had Portman in Ohio and Roy Blunt in Missouri—two heavyweights who pulled off double-digit victories over Democratic opponents in open-seat contests. It's still early for 2012, and Republicans are actively recruiting, but neither state party has an obvious political star to take on the Democratic incumbent in this cycle.
In Ohio, a number of potential candidates are eyeing the race, with recent buzz centering on state Treasurer Josh Mandel, a 33-year-old former Marine and an Iraq war veteran. If Mandel is the nominee, he'll have his work cut out for him. In a March 2011 Quinnipiac University poll, 45 percent of voters said that Brown deserves to be reelected; only 30 percent said he does not. (They were nearly evenly split, 45 percent to 46 percent, on whether Obama deserves a second term.) Brown has been "a very adept officeholder and one who works in a very smart way and a very aggressive way," said Curt Steiner, a veteran of Ohio GOP campaigns and a former top lobbyist for Ohio State University. "He works hard to stay in touch in Ohio as well as [working] hard in Washington, so I don't think anybody underestimates how tough he will be next year."
In Missouri, a potentially crowded field is forming, with lawyer and unsuccessful 2010 GOP House candidate Ed Martin and former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman already declaring bids; former state party Chairwoman Ann Wagner and GOP Rep. Todd Akin are also considered potential candidates. "Send Claire Home On the Next Jet Out of D.C," reads the invitation to a Steelman fundraiser.
In both states, Republicans have a case to make. Brown and McCaskill are beatable. But neither senator made it to Washington by being politically naive. Although their strategies for staying in Washington may differ, each may forge a winning path. As the 2010 elections demonstrated, some incumbents survive political waves. For every Russell Feingold or Arlen Specter who lost, a Harry Reid or a Patty Murray survived. Waves matter, but so does a well-executed campaign strategy. Brown and McCaskill will be putting theirs to the test soon.

The Daily Item
SELINSGROVE — A characteristic that separates simply a good athlete from a great one is the ability to perform under pressure.
For 17-year-old Kelly McLaughlin of Selinsgrove, that moment came at this year's Region 7 Girls Gymnastics Championships held at Ursinus College in Collegeville.
The top six combined scores in the four disciplines — floor exercise, balance beam, vault and uneven bars — advance to the Eastern National Championships, and McLaughlin stood in sixth place after three events. McLaughlin stepped up to the vault for her run with a return trip to the national championships hanging in the balance.
McLaughlin executed her run and had to wait for her score to be posted, unsure if she had scored high enough to keep her in the top six. When a 9.500 flashed, McLaughlin knew she had qualified for the national championships.
"The emotion I felt after my score was flashed was indescribable," McLaughlin said. "The only thing I remember is receiving the biggest hugs and high-fives from my coaches and other gymnasts in my rotation saying, 'You did it!'"
After struggling with her vaults throughout the year, McLaughlin landed the most important run of the season to cement her place in Battle Creek, Mich., on May 1-5 for the National Championships.
"It was not only the toughest competition of my life, but it was the best competition of my life," McLaughlin said.
Judging by her overall score in the four events, the Region 7 Championship truly was the best competition of her life, as McLaughlin scored a career-high 36.975 to finish in third place overall. McLaughlin scored an 8.750 on the uneven bars, a 9.425 on the balance beam and a 9.300 on floor exercise.
Although it is not her favorite event — McLaughlin stated she prefers the balance beam — the vault is an event where she has found success in the past. At the 2012 Pennsylvania State Gymnastics Championships, McLaughlin captured a state title in the vault with a score of 9.575.
"I didn't really expect (a title) at all," McLaughlin said. "I was like 'that's different.' "
McLaughlin recalled the whirlwind moments after winning a state title and having her hard work pay off.
"I had no idea what was going on (after taking first)," McLaughlin said. "The entire day felt like a blur. I realized that everything was coming together at the right moment."
McLaughlin qualified for the National Championships last year but was unable to grab any titles. She said that qualifying last year will help her appreciate the national championships and allow her to stay focused both in and out of the gym.
"I feel like I kind of rushed the whole weekend (last year)," McLaughlin said. "I feel like I took a lot of good opportunities to place for granted and then those opportunities were gone."
Regardless of how she places in Michigan, McLaughlin said she will have support from her teammates.
"We've become pretty much like family," she said.
The close-knit relationship she has with her teammates has allowed McLaughlin to consider competing in college and following in the footsteps of some of her teammates who compete at the collegiate level. McLaughlin said she values the sacrifices and hard work that her teammates have invested in gymnastics to reach the collegiate level.
Like her teammates, McLaughlin has had to make hard decisions to excel in her sport. She travels to Harrisburg five days a week to train with Artistic Sports Academy Plus and mentioned that she is forgoing the chance to attend her high school prom to compete at the National Championships.
McLaughlin has been competing since she was 10 and advises gymnasts getting their start in the sport to keep the sport in perspective.
"(Remember) to have fun with it and have no regrets," McLaughlin said. "The important stuff is more than placing and winning."

At this time of year, I find myself saying thanks for a lot of things.
For example, I want to thank all the readers who have supported my First with Kids columns over the past few years. I, too, am thankful the columns have lasted this long and that people I meet tell me they find them helpful. But even more importantly, I want to thank the parents who have set great examples for their children by doing such things as:
▶ Wearing seat belts and bike helmets and insisting their children do likewise.
▶ Not smoking, or at least trying not to expose their children to the risks of passive tobacco smoke.
▶ Reading to their children every night or having their children read to them.
▶ Keeping their child's scheduled appointments with doctors and dentists so that immunizations and other health screenings are on schedule.
▶ Safety-proofing and re-inspecting their homes for injury and fire prevention.
▶ Putting their babies to sleep on their backs rather than their stomachs to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
I hope that all children will be thankful at this time of year, too, for what they have — be it family, friends, teachers, food to eat and even clothes to wear. I also hope they think about ways to help others who may not be as fortunate. Finally, I hope that everyone will remember that improving the health of your children is a Thanksgiving feast unto itself and something for which we can all be thankful.

Joe Paterno, the legendary Penn State football coach who won more Division I NCAA football games than any other coach, died on Sunday morning, his family announced. He was 85.
"It is with great sadness that we announce that Joe Paterno passed away earlier today. His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled," the Paternos said in a statement.
"He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community," said the statement.
Paterno is survived by wife Sue Paterno, children Diana, Joseph Jr. "Jay", Mary Kay, David and Scott, and 17 grandchildren – and, his family said, "hundreds of young men whose lives he changed in more ways than can begin to be counted."
Paterno, a.k.a Joe Pa and known for his "success with honor" motto, thick glasses, rolled-up pants and black cleats, had been diagnosed with lung cancer, it was announced on Nov. 18. On Saturday, as friends and family were being summoned to State College Hospital, a family spokesman said the coach, 85, had taken a turn for the worse and asked for privacy for his family.
A Brooklyn native and Brown University graduate, Paterno began coaching the Nittany Lions in 1966 and his tenure stretched to October, 2011, when he won his 409th game.
In his 46 years as head coach, Paterno held the all-time Division I record for football coaching wins with a 409-136-3 record, and he won two national championships while going undefeated in five different seasons.
After a highly celebrated career and iconic status on the Penn State campus, Paterno's career as head coach ended as a result of a scandal involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky, who allegedly sexually assaulted young boys, including a 10-year-old in the locker-room shower.
Although Paterno was not accused of any wrongdoing in the scandal, he was criticized for failing to report what he heard to police. In announcing his retirement, he said, "This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."
"I'm sick about it," he told The Washington Post on Jan. 14. "I didn't know exactly how to handle it, and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was. So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn't work out that way."
Success with Honor
Though the scandal landed Paterno in the headlines in his final days, the coach enjoyed decades of success and reverence on the campus he and his wife helped build. It was their donations that funded the school's Paterno Library).
"Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good," Paterno said.
Even in the aftermath of the scandal, the downtown College Avenue was peppered with Joe Paterno merchandise, and even bar bathrooms were scrawled with support for the longtime coach.
"It feels like a member of the family has died," Leslie Vink, a 2003 graduate and former Penn State gymnast tells PEOPLE. She was on campus Saturday to watch the women's gymnastics team compete when she heard the news of Paterno's passing.
"He meant so much to the school and it's students," said Vink. "He is survived by not only by the Paternos, but his entire Penn State family."
