OpinionBush lovesthe kidsSCHIP veto proves Bushhas no soulJUSTIN SUMMERSOPINION WRITERLast week George Bush used the fourth vetoof his presidency to shoot down the popular bipar-tisan healthcare plan, the State Children Ts HealthInsurance Program. SCHIP provides healthcareto children who come from families that earn toomuch to qualify for Medicaid but not enough toprovide for private insurance. Set up by Ted Ken-nedy and Hillary Clinton in 1997, SCHIP was thelargest development in State Health Care sinceMedicaid was set up in the sixties. To qualifyfor SCHIP you must be under 200 percent of thefederal poverty line, roughly $41,000 a year for afamily of four. The new SCHIP proposal sought toincrease the income you could be making and stillqualify for SCHIP by 100%. Due to a rise in thecost of living, a decrease in medical coverage fromemployers and the increasing cost of healthcare,the increase was seen as an effective way to insurethe 9 million children who are still uninsured inthis country.In addition to those terms, the bill asked for $35billion over the next 5 years to potentially insureanother 4 million children, bringing the number ofchildren insured under SCHIP to over 10 millionby 2012. This increase in spending would be paidfor by a raise in the tobacco tax and was approvedby both the House and Senate:The bill received great praise from most mem-bers of the House and Senate. In the Senate 18Republicans voted for the bill and in the House 45Republicans approved the terms of the bill. Thoughit was not enough to override the looming vetoto come from Bush, it showed if nothing else thepopularity of the bill. .Bush Ts veto of this bill was not unexpected. AsBush Ts base put more and more pressure on himto use some fiscal oversight, he vowed to makedrastic cuts in spending; even if it Ts at the expenseof children Ts health.While the proposed defense budget set to beapproved sometime this. week stands at 460 billionor more, it is almost inconceivable to me that Bushcannot afford to shell out 35 billion for poor chil-dren. Once again it proves that when it comes tomaking the right decision, Bush listens to the hardline rhetoric of special interests and right wingfundamentalists before the people of America.*If you would like to do something to helpchildren in need of health care, write your localCongressman and ask him to override Bush Ts vetoof SCHIP. All that is needed is an additional 14Republican votes in Congress to override the vetoand provide millions of children with the health-care they need -This writer can be contacted atopinion@theeastcarolinian.com.. oGimme More �Britney SpearsGoing from fame to shameLISA ENSMINGEROPINION WRITERBritney Spears is planning for an album releasethis November, and I am not quite sure if she willmanage to pull off a comeback. If you haven Tt seenthe news (even CNN reports on her) or tabloidswhile waiting in line at the grocery store, BritneySpears is spiraling her career down the tubes aswe speak. It started off with her classy weddingwith the oworld Ts most hated rap star, � Mr. KevinFederline. From there she was pregnant with histwo children, one following another.The new mommy wasn Tt quite the HOT popprincess she used to be while drinking Starbucksleft and right and walking into public bathroomswith no shoes and a bag of potato chips while oprego. � She then started partying night after night(sometimes with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan...yikes!!), and we're not supposed to wonder whereher kids were at these times? She then had a majorbreakdown and shaved her whole head bald withher own hands.After she checked into rehab and announced anew album and breakthrough performance on theVMA's, Spears had most of us thinking she mightmake a great comeback. WRONG!Britney ruined her VMA performance fromthe start with her half-done extensions and not-so-flattering sparkly black bikini costume. Thefirst words of her almost-hit song, oGimme More �are, oIt Ts Britney, b****. � Probably shouldn't besaying that, Britney, if you can Tt lip synch to asong with the whole song consisting of only twowords: ogimme more. � Not only could she not osing � appropriately, she couldn't dance, as she wastripping and owalking through � thé routine like itwas a rehearsal.Not only did she ruin her one and only oppor-tunity to make a comeback, she has now gottenherself into more trouble with two felony chargesand losing custody of her children to Mr. K-Fed (Idon Tt know which one is worse).Britney's new album is due out in Novemberand is still on schedule. For some very few fans outthere hoping for a breakthrough, all I have to sayto Britney is ogood luck � because she might say, oOops, I did it again. �Sources for this column include www.eonline.com.This writer can be contacted atopinion@theeastcarolinian.com.STHURSDAY OCTOBER 11, 2007pace A4RANT OF THE DAYThe sun is always shining and the sky isalways blue; there are just rainy clouds inthe way sometimes.

I Tm what most people would consider ageek (or something like that). I Tm ok with that; Ilike geeky things, video games, computers and allawesome gadgets. I just wanted to let everyoneopen their minds to the little-known world of theskateboarder, so they can appreciate what theynow take for granted.Just so we are on the same page, I Tm talkingabout normal skateboarding. Not long-boardskateboarding, rollerblading or ice skating, all ofwhich are cool in their own light; the real issuehere is skateboarding.The coolest thing about skateboarding to meis that it is so new to the sports world, only havingbeen around for the last 50 or so years. It didn Ttreally come into its current light until the mid1990 Ts. Take pro sports like football, baseball orgolf, and you Tve got hundreds of famous peoplefrom the last half of the century. Now try namingsome famous skateboarders; I doubt you'd get far-ther than 5 people and most of them are probablystill alive and skating.As someone who recently decided to pick upa skateboard and attempt to learn, I have founda brand new respect for anyone who can actuallyskateboard. I found it almost funny how, until Itried skateboarding for myself, I didn Tt really knowhow difficult it is.As a gamer, I Tve played skateboarding videogames (like Tony Hawk's Skate), but these give youa false impression of skating. Skating isn Tt as easya pushing some buttons and directing an analogstick. It takes lots and lots of time practicing tobe good at it. Being able to balance on a boardJust wide enough for your feet and long enoughfor you to stand on is hard enough. Add wheels tothe bottom and some forward/backward motion,and it is like learning to walk all over again; fall-ing happens often.The overall point I want to make with thisarticle is that when you see that kid walkinginto class with his/her skateboard, respect them.Understand that they are not like you and me.They are a skater. Webster says this means aperson that skateboards, but to me it means aperson that sees walking as lame and skateboard-ing as the answer to it.This writer can be contacted atopinion@theeastcarolinian.com.Ck eyves&XPY; 4: } *PSASqiANYx& (Le eSEsra aeeeeeene2 + balBY% i Fp rimmed aaWhe CEE ESEt eran.

Now, it Ts pretty well accepted that frostbitewon't make you healthy, although doctors haveconfirmed that going outside without a jacketwon't make you sick " but don Tt do that, either.Nowadays, it Ts all about germs; everything wesee now is antibacterial, and for good reason. TheCenter for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)says most'common colds are viral and spread bygerms. They still have not found a cure, but a gooddefense is the best offense.The best prevention is ofrequent hand washing,and not sharing items such as cups, glasses andutensils, � according to the CDC.This is important because people are morecontagious when they are just starting to get sick,not when they display noticeable symptoms.Think about this: the ofive second rule � manypeople believe in?It Ts wrong. :In 2004, Jillian Clarke was recognized by theAnnals of Improbable Research after she provedthat the ofive second rule � is nothing but a myth.When she placed gummy bears and cookies on asurface contaminated by E. coli for five seconds,those gummies and cookies came up really dirty(New York Times, May 2007).Interestingly, the Boston Globe published anarticle at the same time disagreeing with the cau-tionary statements above. The decision is up to theindividual which research to believe in. oT Tve heard about the five second rule T mywhole life, and I used to believe it. But being in ahealth program here at ECU made me rethink allof that. I Tve seen people firsthand in bathroomson campus use the facilities and then leave withoutwashing their hands.

Washing yourhands is really the key to warding off sicknessand staying healthy, especially during this timeof year, � said Tiara Street, sophomore communityhealth major.So what Ts the best way to keep all those nastygerms at bay? Wash your hands. A lot.The CDC recommends that you washyour hands with soap and warm water " yes,water temperature makes a difference " for atleast 20 seconds.

Thisis because these fashions are, inessence, knock-offs of originaldesigns and runway style.These originals college stu-dents could probably neverafford, but some stores carryrunway styles for cheap.For instance, the best placeto find these trendy knock-offsare in the teenage favoritesForever 21, Charlotte Russe andDelia Ts.

Dominate the red zoneThe Miners are ranked first in C-USA in redzone offense, as they have converted on 21 oftheir 23 attempts inside of the 20-yard-line,18 of which have been touchdowns. ECU, onthe other hand, has missed five field goalsfrom inside of the 20-yard-line. Points shouldbe aplenty in this game, so UTEP needs to con-tinue putting the ball in the end zone when itgets the chance, while forcing ECU into fieldgoal attempts.2. Don Tt give Johnson a chanceChris Johnson is currently second in the na-tion in scoring with 12 total touchdowns andfirst in C-USA in all-purpose yards with 1,228.The Pirates T lightning quick all-purpose backhas been especially effective returning kick-offs this season and will be running on theSun Bowl turf, where speed is enhanced. Butthe Miners lead C-USA in touchbacks with 13.UTEP needs to continue kicking the ball deepinto the end zone, not allowing Johnson anychance to break free on a kickoff return.3. Outscore ECUUTEP has scored at least 48 points in eachof its last three games, and won all of them.Last week, quarterback Trevor Vittaloe seta UTEP freshman record with 318 passingyards and three touchdowns. Vittaloe has aslew of tall, athletic receivers to throw to,and a reliable running back in senior MarcusThomas. The Miners need to use their offen-sive momentum from the last three weeks,and continue scoring at will.Pirates prepared to facethe heat.in the Sun BowlECU and UTEP set to square offin meeting of hot teamsJARED JACKSONSTAFF WRITERThe Pirates are back in business.A season that looked dark and dismal a few weeks ago for ECU suddenly turned_ bright with two straight wins over C-USA foes Houston and UCF. The Pirates are �"�back in the hunt for a postseason berth while currently sitting atop the C-USAEast Division standings.This Saturday ECU [ 3-3, 2-1] travels to El Paso, Texas to take on UTEP (4-2,2-0] at the legendary Sun Bowl, with a kickoff set for 9 p.m. The meeting will markthe first time the two schools have lined up opposite of each other on the gridiron,while the trip to El Paso will mark the second-longest ever made by the Pirates,with 1,905 miles separating the two schools. oThis is going to be a heck of a challenge, � said ECU coach Skip Holtz, who is 15-15overall during his Pirate tenure. oUTEP has won three-straight and is playing on a highright now. They have really come into their own as an offensive football team. oThey want to make every game a track meet. They don Tt want to play protectivefootball but want to start scoring points right off of the bus. �The Miners have won both of their C-USA games, scoring 96 total pointsagainst Tulsa and SMU. In both games, UTEP has overcome fourth quarter deficitsof nine points of more to win. Against SMU, the Miners trailed 42-38 with 14:45left to play before rallying to win, 48-45, in overtime. Last week against Tulsa,the Miners were behind 37-28 with 14:33 left to play before battling back to win48-47 in thrilling fashion.__ UTEP coach Mike Price knows that while the Pirates might not look that greaton paper, they are a dangerous team to play. oStatistically, ECU doesn Tt look really great and their record isn Tt perfect, butboy are they capable, � said Price at his Monday press conference. oThey are reallygood. They have a big strong quarterback, a big strong running back, a kickoffreturn guy, a huge defensive line and theyre very well coached. | think ECU ismore physical than we are. Theyre bigger, stronger and faster. �This weekend's game will not only mark the first meeting between ECU and UTEP, butwill also mark the first time Holtz has coached against Price. According to Price however, thetwo know each other well. oI knew Skip Holtz T dad [Lou Holtz]. didn Tt know Skip until recently, butin the last coupleof [C-USA] golf tournaments I've paired up with him and it Ts because he Ts a really good golfer, TPrice said. oIt's not how you play the game, it Ts how you pick your partners. �The Pirates have been fighting the injury bug, mostly on defense, for the lastcouple of weeks. Multiple Pirates remain questionable for the game Saturday. " oInjury-wise, Marcus Hands is still out with a shoulder injury, Holtz said onMonday. o1 am concerned about Jeremy Chambliss, Pierre Bell and Quentin Cotton.They will not be able to practice this week and are all questionable for this weekend.It throws a wrench into your defense when you take your two top linebackers andtop backup out of the mix. oOffensively, Josh Coffman is still out and we will play the wait and see game withJonathan Williams and Willie Barton. Barton is more probable at this point. �The Pirates will need all the help they can get on Saturday because the UTEPoffense, as a surprise to many, is potent.' oStatistically, they are balanced on offense, averaging 190 yards on the groundand 230 throwing the ball, T said Holtz. oThey have really come into their own asan offensive football team. They are extremely productive in the red zone, about91 percent successful. �UTEP Ts freshmen quarterback, Trevor Vittatoe, has been stellar as the Minerssignal caller this year. On the season, Vittatoe has passed for 1,295 yards and 10touchdowns, coupled with only two interceptions. In the backfield, senior runningback Marcus Williams has also been having a huge season. Williams has averaged121 rushing yards a game and has racked up 11 touchdowns.The key factor in the Miners T offense could be their receiving core. On the unit,the top three wide receivers are listed at 6-foot-5. Sophomore Jeff Moturi has seventouchdowns on the season while averaging 75 yards receiving a game. Senior LorneSame has added a touchdown while their other big receiving threat, senior Joe West,has two touchdowns to his credit. oThey make you spread the field and do some good things in space, T said Holtzabout the Miners T offense. oThey are so good because they are athletic at wide receiveras they are all over six feet tall. Their quarterback can beat you with his feet and hisarm so you can't focus on just the run or just the pass. � __On the other side, ECU has found the perfect solution to its quarterback needs.

Stop the pass |The ECU secondary has struggled this season,allowing an average of 280 yards per gamethrough the air. The last thing that this youngsecondary needs is to play a team like UTEP.The Miners have three receivers that are listedat 6-foot-5 and have accounted for 10 touch-downs. As an offensive unit, the Miners aver-age about 235 yards passing per game.2. Plug the holesthat it Ts not so much in stopping someone asit is just plugging the holes. The ECU defensehas been great at creating turnovers; in factthey are fifth in the nation in turnover marginMarcus Thomas, the Miners T running back, isaveraging 121 yard: per game rushing so it iscritical that the Pirates create some turnoversand limit Thomas T production. The Pirates mustadopt the bend but not break the mentality thatthey have been succeeding with as of late.3. Come out firingThe Pirates have come out sluggish in justabout every game so far this season. ECU hasbeen outscored in every quarter this season ex-cept the third quarter, where it holds a distinct80-45 advantage. This year, the Pirates havebeen outscored 44-14 in the first quarter, 73-47 in the second and 35-17 in the fourth. ECUmust show up for the first half Saturday nightor UTEP Ts upstart offense could put the Piratesin a big hole early in the game.

Scoring was evenly dis-tributed among the Pirate for-wards with goals coming fromJoe Sonatore, Tyler Falcon,Sean Burns and Nathan Buhr.George Washingtonchipped away at the lead forthe duration of the third beforefinally equalizing, 6-6, justbefore time expired while play-ing with an empty net. TheColonials went on to edge thePirates, 1-0, in a shootout.ECU Coach Wayne Coxbelieves his team more thanheld its own. oWe learned that these guys[ECU] will be one of the topteams in the South if they playup to their potential, � said Cox. oTd love to get another crack atGeorge Washington before theyear is over. Hopefully, we'llmeet them at regionals. �The second game againstASU renewed a heated rivalry.ASU, which co-hosted thetournament with Georgia Tech,was essentially playing on homeice. The Mountaineers willtravel from Boone to the Pin-eville, N.C. rink for all of theirhome games this year.The advantage did not payoff, as the Pirates thrashedASU, 13-1.Avenging last year Ts BlueRidge Hockey ConferenceTournament loss was of par-ticular importance to ECU. oThe boys had somethingto prove against App., � saidCox. oI think from an emotionalperspective, the beating that weput on them did a lot to bringthis team together. �Sophomore Chris Cesarioand junior Jeremy Lang bothtallied hat tricks. oThere was a slap shot fromthe defenseman and I was juststanding right there, � saidCesario of his third goal. oThegoalie was down and I picked upthe rebound and Just knocked itin for the hat trick. �The Pirates did not light upthe scoreboard quite as often in thethird game against Georgia Tech,but the offense was still clicking.ECU out-shot the YellowJackets 76-20 in a 4-0 victorythat. earned a second placetournament finish. The Piratesscored all four goals in the firsttwo periods against a GeorgiaTech team that finished lastseason ranked third in. theSouth (ACHA Division III).ECU benefited fromanother balanced scoring attackwith Burns, Joe Colatuno, SamDuehring and Lang findingthe net.Cox cited defensemenDuehring and Donovan Deanfor their exceptional play. Cap-tain Corey Fleitz also provideddefensive depth, frequentlymoving back from the wingthroughout the weekend.Freshman goaltender MattDalgetty played 60 minutes andstopped 21-of-21 shots againstthe Yellow Jackets as well.ECU looks forward toits home opener this Fridayagainst former Blue. RidgeHockey Conference rival, UNC-Wilmington.The Pirates have never lostto the Seahawks. UNC-W is oneof only a few original membersleft in the BRHC after the con-ference saw an exodus of teamsin the offseason. . oThey Tve still got somegood hockey teams, � said Coxof the BRHC. oIll be interestedin what [UNC] Wilmingtonbrings down here this year.They played us tough last year.[UNC] Wilmington has agood hockey team. �With one of the biggestgames in ECU club ice hockeyhistory looming, it could be easyto overlook the Seahawks. oI really hope these. guyshave their heads on straightbecause UNC-W is not a team |that has too much wrong withthem, � said Lang. oEverybodyis obviously really excited about .the [N. C_] State game. oTjust hope that we don Tt lookahead of them [UNC-W ]. �This writer can be contacted atsports@theeastcarolinian.comJunior forward Tyler Falcon contributed in the Carolina Shootout,notching his first goal of the season against George Washington.veatePee eeeeege?asic i tens es i ee ee?!

Junior PatrickPinkney got some reps as well, but it Ts been made clear thatKass is the guy except in certain situations where Pinkney Tsmobility is needed.Senior running back Chris Johnson has alsoexploded this season as an offensive force. Johnsonran the ball 23 times last week for 89 yards andtwo touchdowns, and also had five receptions for89 yards and a touchdown. If that wasn Tt enough,he also returned the second half opening kickoff 96yards for yet another score.With everything seemingly falling into placeoffensively coach Holtz couldn't be happier. oWe really didn Tt have an identity offensivelyat the beginning of the season, it was like a land ofmisfit toys, T he said. oThere were a lot of questions* to be answered but we have stayed the course andgotten better fundamentally. I think the offenseis beginning to gain confidence not only becausewe scored 52 points Saturday but because we areseeing that doing the fundamental things correctlyactually works. �The biggest concern for Holtz going into Satur-day was the traveling aspect of this week Ts long haulto El Paso. Coach Price doesn Tt feel all that sorry forthe Pirates however. o1 think the travel can make a difference for EastCarolina. | think it Ts a horrible experience for themto have to go through. Don Tt you, � laughed Priceas he addressed members of the media Mondaymorning. ,Junior defensive tackle Khalif Mitchell believesthe traveling aspect will be tough but if the play-ers follow the coaching staff Ts plan and get thingsdone early then the Pirates should be at full forceSaturday night. oThe biggest key is getting rest at night, T saidMitchell, who made his first career interception lastweek against UCF. oIt is like a jet lag. You're goingover two time zones, so when you get there the timedidn Tt really move. I think when we get there coach isgoing to have a lot of downtime for us. We're goingto try to get a lot of stuff done early. oThey [the ECU coaches] have everythingplanned out to the bye weekend and they knowwhat they're doing. | trust them so we just have togo out and make sure we are focused and not worryUTEP.
