...have won 10 special elections--besting Democrats in Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina and Texas. It should be noted that the seat won in Delaware represents parts of Vice President Joe Biden's hometown. While others may be waiting for the Virginia and New Jersey 2009 gubernatorial elections as bellwethers for 2010, we have been focusing on rebuilding the party from the grass roots up--through recruiting, training and supporting down-ballot candidates for state office. The party has a bright future. It is being built in the states where the next generation of leaders...
...found that she and Jou had “a lot more in common” than she had anticipated. Jou and Aljawhary were officially married in December, a month after his proposal, in a ceremony performed by an imam. The wedding reception will take place in New Jersey, where the bride’s family lives, in July, because the couple wanted to wait until after Aljawhary’s graduation for the festivities.

Demauro's 154-roll lucky streak, which lasted four hours and 18 minutes, broke the world records for the longest craps roll and the most successive dice rolls without "sevening out." According to Stanford University statistics professor Thomas Cover, the chances of that happening are smaller than getting struck by lightning (one in a million), being hit by an errant ball at a baseball game (one in 1.5 million) or winning...
...Chinese basketball needs all the help it can get. Talented players like Yao or the New Jersey Nets' Yi Jianlian tend to go abroad at the first opportunity. Games back in the Chinese Basketball Association league are uninspiring, hampered by poor coaching and a system focused more on rote drills than innovative play. Street play has picked up in recent years in Beijing and Shanghai, but that has yet to translate into a flood of dynamic national players. Despite its home-court advantage in Beijing last year, the Chinese Olympic hoops team made it only to the quarterfinal round before...
