KIM DENMARK sat in the lobby of downtown Baltimore's Hilton yesterday, still dressed in her walking togs: orange shorts and a T-shirt covered with an orange top so she can be seen in a car's headlights.

Planes are on the floor or hanging from the ceiling; smaller planes are snuggled under the wings of bigger planes.How big?

CLEVELAND, Ohio - John McCain sees a plumber named Joe as the Everyman of 2008, but another ordinary Ohioan may better reflect the reality of next week's election. Like millions of others, Brandie Adams, a mother of two from the Cleveland suburb of Eastlake, is caught in the downdraft of a tumbling economy. Her husband, Brian, laid off after 19 years with the Sherwin-Williams Co., had to relocate to Lanham, Md., where he lives alone in an apartment. Her mother-in-law, unable to pay the rent, just moved in with the family, and after falling into the Medicare doughnut hole, might need help with her prescription drug bills.

The Single-A baseball game between Peoria and Dayton (Midwest League) had slipped into the realm of absurdity even before the first inning was over, as three hit batsmen - one struck in the head - resulted in a free-for-all between the two clubs. It was ratcheted up several notices when Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo took the inadvisable step of hurling a baseball at the home Dayton dugout, missed and hit a fan who had to be taken away on a stretcher. Castillo was arrested and jailed. The umpires, trying to restore order under riotous conditions, ejected 15 players and both managers.

Quirky, sweet-and-sour American comedies often become contemporary classics when they bring wit and humanity to settings too often merely caricatured, like teen beauty pageants in Smile (1974) and a fundamentalist-Christian high school in Saved! (2004). Little Miss Sunshine, the hit indie comedy of the summer, has links to both films. Like them, it's a tangy slice of dark Americana. But its final act unfolds in a setting even riskier for comedy or drama, especially these days: the Little Miss Sunshine contest, a prepubescent beauty pageant.

WASHINGTON--Critics usually view MTV as the scourge of movies because its influence has spread flashy editing and splashy colors for their own sake and a reckless disregard for lucid and cohesive storytelling. But Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who came to MTV in the early 1980s, when they were fresh out of UCLA and the music channel was just getting rolling, represent MTV at its best and brightest. In 1983, they saw the chance to do The Cutting Edge, an interview and documentary-based MTV series, as a grand experimental opportunity, and then moved on to craft videos that explored with sympathy, nuance and imagination the visual components of performance.

Kimberlyn Pratesi, principal of the almost-ready-to-open Dayton Oaks Elementary School, was setting up her office Friday, unpacking cardboard boxes while all around her the sounds of sawing and hammering could be heard. "I plugged in my computer and it works," said Pratesi, who was principal at Lisbon Elementary before taking the helm of the county's newest school in February. She had been working out of a temporary office at Marriotts Ridge High School until moving to Dayton Oaks, and she was glad her computer worked because that would help her communicate with incoming staff members and parents.

DAYTON, Ohio -- The heavy armor added to military Humvees to protect soldiers from roadside bombs and other incendiary devices has had an unintended consequence: Dozens of soldiers have died in Iraq from rollover accidents, a Dayton Daily News examination found. The armor adds as much 3,000 pounds to the vehicle, which makes it more difficult to control and more likely to roll over, especially when operated in the harsh conditions in Iraq, which include night missions, primitive roads and unforgiving terrain.
