Regrettably, Republicans will not hold to their post-2010 election convictions about reducing deficits and the national debt. Even more regrettably, President Obama will hold to his pre-election promises. While Republicans have done nothing to alter the course of the future, Mr. Obama is intent on damaging the country beyond repair, and the ultimate losers will be the American people.

Fresh off their first Top 25 ranking since 2010 , the No. 25 Terps will be on ESPN for the first time in two years when they visit No. 8 Florida State on Saturday. The game -- which features two 4-0 teams -- is scheduled for a noon kickoff. ESPN had invoked a six-day option on picking a time for that game and announced the kickoff time over the weekend. ESPN also held six-day options on Clemson-Syracuse and Georgia Tech-Miami. The Tigers and Orange will be broadcast on either ABC or ESPN2 (depending on the market)

We had a couple of surprises on "showdown weekend," surprises that might be a true indication of what is to come on the high school hoop scene in both boys and girls action.It was "showdown weekend" in that at least two boys' games and three girls' games may have given us sneak previews of championship games to come. Four of those would be regional title games and the other would be a Baltimore Catholic League final between St. Mary's and Seton Keough.Class 2A schools, Northeast and Southern, provided a striking contrast in boys and girls play with each a surprise winner in their respective class.

''Showdown in Little Tokyo'' is good enough fun when it sticks to karate and related physical activity. Unfortunately, the film goes ugly now and then and when it does, it's really ugly. It includes, for instance, decapitation, amputation and finger-cutting.The last, of course, is a given. This is a film about the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia, and in all films about this group, there is always a finger-cutting sequence, and it's always a little finger that goes.Apparently, it's a Yakuza tradition.

WELL, THAT was some swell showdown yesterday at City College. Pay attention, children: This is how the grownups look after your lives. Cassandra Jones, chief academic officer for the city's schools, and Melvin Stukes, chairman of the City Council's education committee, wanted to confront City Principal Joseph Wilson about his job, Wilson says. But Jones didn't show up -- and then denied she was supposed to. And Stukes, insulted that the meeting wasn't stacked the way he'd intended, took a powder a few minutes after he arrived -- and then sheepishly came back an hour later, when most of the day's important work was done, and gave a long speech telling everybody what a swell fellow he is. "I do not participate in witch hunts," Stukes then announced.
