Obama's Supreme Court choice reflects policy of 'restraint' - Financial Times

Posted: 27 May 2010 07:22 AM PDT

Conservatives paint Barack Obama as a radical in sheep's clothing. Nowhere is this more at odds with reality than in the 44th president's judicial philosophy, which will receive another round of scrutiny next month with hearings for Elena Kagan, his second nominee to the Supreme Court.

In spite of allegations that Ms Kagan is a closet subversive, not least by Newt Gingrich, the former Republican House Speaker, who sees her advance as evidence that Mr Obama is running an un-American "secular socialist machine", her nomination has disappointed liberals. With impeccable centrist credentials - and almost no "paper trail" of decisions with which to impugn her - Republicans will have a hard time discrediting her nomination.

Irish eyes are smiling - North Platte Telegraph

Posted: 27 May 2010 02:00 AM PDT

The North Platte Telegraph

Sometimes to get comfortable you have to get out of your comfort zone.

At least, that was St. Pat's coach Rich Harrach's philosophy after a rough first day at the 2010 Class D State Golf Tournament.

Harrach mixed things up a bit and the Irish responded on Wednesday, winning their second state title. The first came in 2002.

"The last couple years our goal has been, really one goal and that's to win state," Harrach said. "Last year we fell just a tad short, we got third in Class C last year, but that was the ultimate goal and we finally achieved it."

Facing a nine-stroke deficit on their home course, Rivers Edge Golf Course, the Irish needed to ease the pressure. Harrach did something that might not make sense to some, but turned out to be just what the Irish needed.

"The home course is an advantage and I thought it would be, as far as knowing it and being familiar," Harrach said. "But I could just see it yesterday, they were just tight and they had a big gallery following them."

Instead of letting the team sleep in their own beds at home, Harrach moved the team into a hotel, hoping to take some of the pressure off and give the tournament more of a road trip feeling.

"I know it's crazy, but we got [the players] hotel rooms last night and we kind of made it look like we were on the road," Harrach said. "I just wanted the kids to relax and have fun."

The Irish did relax and came out strong on Wednesday, firing a team score of 320.

"[The players] played some putt-putt in the halls last night at the hotel, and I just think that helped," Harrach said. "They were relaxed and we shot our score."

St. Pat's two-day total of 658 was one stroke better than day one leader Franklin's 659. Franklin totaled a 330 on day two.

"We thought 320 was the number," Harrach said. "We talked to the kids last night and I told them 322 I thought would get us second, and I thought maybe 320 would get us there and that's exactly what we shot."

Senior Shane O'Connor led the way for the Irish on day two, bouncing back from a rough day one. O'Connor's even-par round of 70 was a tournament low by three strokes and propelled him to a third place finish.

"I think [the difference was] just taking the pressure off, just kind of going out there and just playing instead of thinking I have to prove something to everybody else," O'Connor said. "I just wanted to go play."

O'Connor's bounce back was key to the Irish's state title winning performance.

"It's pretty awesome," O'Connor said about winning the title. "It's a good feeling, especially being home."

O'Connor's tournament total of 153 was just a stroke off second, as Sandhills/Thedford's Matt Thomas finished with a 152. Mullen's Scott Pfeiffer finished fourth after an 80 and a 155 total.

The runner-up medal is the second straight from Thomas and his fourth straight state medal, while Pfeiffer has medaled in three straight state tournaments.

Salvador Molina Toledo of Heartland Lutheran played a steady round of golf, rebounding from nearly every mistake with a birdie to cruise to a five-shot victory. Toledo's 73 in the second round gave the sophomore a 147 total.

St. Pat's sophomore Jared Arensdorf fell back a bit after his first round 76, but finished strong to take fifth place with a day two 80.

Also contributing to the state title for St. Pat's was Austin Doyle, who came on late to card a 79 for the day to finish just a stroke out of medals.

Brian Honerman's 91 gave the Irish their winning total, while Kole Harrach's 95 was not counted toward the team score.

Thomas, the first day leader, saw Toledo steal the show right from the start. Thomas bogeyed the opening hole, while Toledo knocked down a birdie putt to immediately take the lead.

"[Toledo] took the lead from me right there and he just coasted the rest of the day pretty much," Thomas said.

By the time the final group had made the turn, Toledo was five strokes clear of Thomas and six strokes ahead of Pfeiffer.

"I was so frustrated on the front," Thomas said. "I knew I had a shot for second, 'cause I heard O'Connor shot a 35 on the front, so I figured he'd come back with about the same, so I was just trying to break 80."

Toledo wavered early on the back nine, recording a double-bogey on No. 10. However, Thomas notched the same score, and Toledo responded with a birdie on No. 11.

Toledo followed another mistake on No. 12, a three-putt bogey, with yet another birdie on No. 13. The birdie increased his lead to seven over Thomas. After bogeys on the first four holes, Pfeiffer was out of the picture.

"I have to give (Toledo) credit, he played his butt off today," Thomas said. "Every single time we tried making a run, he did something to respond to it."

Thomas gave himself a chance down the stretch, with some help from Toledo. Thomas birdied the par 5 15th, while Toledo bogeyed three-straight holes.

However, Thomas's birdie attempts on Nos. 16 and 17 did not drop and Toledo knocked down a clutch birdie putt on No. 18 to seal the win.

Medicine Valley's Trey Hildebrandt also picked up a medal after shooting an 81 on day two for a 159 total, which was good enough for 11th place.

Mullen finished fifth as a team with a two-day total of 675, while Medicine Valley took 12th at 729.
