THE EAGLES will wear pads and hit for the first time in the Chip Kelly era during Sunday's public practice at Lincoln Financial Field, Kelly confirmed yesterday.
The team has said it has distributed more than 49,000 tickets for the first of five Linc sessions, which are an effort to lessen the sting of the move of training camp from Lehigh to NovaCare, where the Eagles aren't allowed to host large public events.
Putting the pads on is something Kelly has been eager to do. He said yesterday that hitting "will be spaced out within the practices . . . There will be certain parts of each drill that we'll have to do some tackling. And they'll be tackling in full."

|Doc on Pierce, KG: C's need them at 'their peak'
|03.12.10 at 8:13 pm ET
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he is thinking of sitting Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, having them miss games and practice more to help them find their rhythm and conditioning as the playoffs approach.
"If that means working more in practice and missing games, then that's what we have to do," Rivers said. "Let's just be honest, if they're not at their peak, it's going to be very tough for us to do anything. We have to have them playing at their peak."
Pierce has been recovering from an injured left foot, while Garnett has continued to deal with his injured right knee. Yet both players indicated a strong desire following Friday's game to continue playing and not occasionally sit out games along the lines of what Rivers suggested.
'I'm not really feeling that idea, but hey, this is the 'Doc Rivers Show' and we are just guests on it," Garnett said. "So whatever he feels is best, you know Paul and I, I think I speak for both of us we don't really feel that."
|Garnett: Ray is playing 'beautiful basketball'
|03.08.10 at 1:02 pm ET
Ray Allen's clutch performance on Sunday night was a thing of beauty – to fans and teammates alike.
Just ask Kevin Garnett who watched as Allen's back-to-back 3-pointers helped the Celtics erase a 13-point-hole in the final six minutes and come away with an 86-83 win over Washington.
'A huge weapon," Garnett said. "You know him and P [Paul Pierce] can put up a lot of points in a hurry. That's big. We have to get them open. You know our job is to get them open. I thought that once he got into a nice, little rhythm, I think that everyone else, you know fed off of that a little bit. When it was time to really get him opened for the three, we got him open, and he hit a big shot.'
Garnett has seen Allen suddenly get hot after the All-Star break, carrying the Celtics offense while Pierce nursed a sore thumb.
'I can just say that each player has their time where they play up and down," Garnett said. "That is the nature of the season. You know, you guys don't know but he deals with a lot of different things with injuries, you know we all deal with different types of physical stuff. He is no different than that. At the same time he had talks of business, about where he was going to be in his future and stuff. I can just tell that he is a lot more healthier. Everything that he is doing is a lot more fluid. He is not thinking a lot, he is just reacting and his beautiful basketball.'
Paul Pierce had a slightly different take.
While happy with the win, Pierce realizes the team should have had that intensity all along against a Washington team that has just 21 wins this season. Read the rest of this entry »
|Larry Brown: Don't panic, Boston
|03.03.10 at 11:43 pm ET
Bobcats coach Larry Brown has a simple message for Celtics fans and others proclaiming an early demise for the Green in early March. Just relax.
"They buried us two games," Brown said after his team lost 104-80 Wednesday night. In Boston's home opener on Oct. 28, the Celtics prevailed, 92-59.
"But I don't buy all this stuff that they're in trouble. They've had some injuries. They're just starting to get healthy. They got some new players like [Marquis] Daniels and Nate [Robinson] now, Rasheed [Wallace]. They're gonna be fine. They got a great coach, they got great chemistry. They're gonna be fine. I think everybody has bad periods but when you put the injuries they faced, all that's done is develop depth."
[Click here to hear Larry Brown rave about the Celtics.]
Brown has heard the naysayers proclaim the Celtics aren't going anywhere because they're old, because they can't win at home and because they've lost the fire of a champion. Paul Pierce came out on fire Wednesday, scoring 27 points, one point for each minute he played.
"They're gonna be alright," Brown continued. "They play like this, this is the way Paul Pierce plays. Garnett was phenomenal. But I just like all the little pieces they have because I think Danny [Ainge] has done a tremendous job putting them in a position where they can play with just about anybody.'
"I don't think anyone could have played in that environment," Brown added. "They played great, they made shots, they executed great. We played hard but there were too many obstacles. But they played great. One time I think they were 10 for 12 from three. They shot 60% in the first half. Shared the ball. There bench was great. There bench was great last night. So if we had played our best I don't know if that would have been good enough."

|Jackson: Pierce challenged my manhood
|at 11:03 pm ET
Before Wednesday's game, Celtics captain Paul Pierce made it a point to speak out for his team, letting them all know that nothing less than dominance at home would be acceptable the rest of the way.
During the game, that vocal spirit apparently offended Charlotte's Stephen Jackson.
Following Wednesday night's blowout 104-80 win by the Celtics, Jackson took issue with trash-talking by the Celtics and Pierce in particular.
"It turned disrespectful when certain things were said," Jackson said. "You can be emotional in the game and you talk to your teammates and do all that but when you get personal and direct certain things to people as far as their manhood, that's when the problems come up. And I guarantee you that if I wasn't in this gym, that wouldn't have been said to me."
Pierce and Jackson got into a verbal battle and were each called for technical fouls with 7:31 remaining in the third quarter as Jackson was preparing to shoot free throws

|Pierce on his return: 'This is perfect timing'
|03.01.10 at 2:05 pm ET
WALTHAM — Paul Pierce practiced on Monday and said afterward he is ready to go for the team's game in Detroit on Tuesday after missing the last three games with a sprained right thumb.
"I would have been back for the Cleveland game, please believe me, as much as I love to play against Cleveland, as much as I love to play against LeBron," Pierce said. "I even went out there and shot before the Cleveland game because I wanted to be out there so bad. I don't think I'm rushing back. I think this is perfect timing. My body feels good, my hand feels good and I'm ready to go."
The Celtics won their first game without Pierce against New York last Tuesday before dropping home games to Cleveland and New Jersey.
|Pierce will travel, could play Tuesday
|02.27.10 at 12:50 pm ET
Doc Rivers said before Saturday's game against New Jersey that Paul Pierce would miss his third straight game with a sprained right thumb but the coach is hopeful Pierce could return by the team's next game on Tuesday in Detroit.

Kourtney Kardashian was joined by ex Scott Disick to celebrate the birthday of her late father Robert Kardashian on Monday.
Live streaming our amazing Armenian dinner that Carousel came and cooked for us to celebrate my dads birthday!— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) February 23, 2016
The parents of three – who split in July – gathered at momager Kris Jenner's Calabasas home for a special dinner along with Kim Kardashian West, Kylie Jenner and Corey Gamble.
As seen on the 18-year-old's Snapchat, the family dined on middle eastern cuisine catered by their favorite Armenian eatery, Carousel Restaurant. In one video, Disick, 32, and Kardashian, 36, can be spotted with their children Mason, 6, Penelope, 3½, and Reign, 14 months.
Robert died Sept. 30, 2009 from esophageal cancer. He was 59.
All the Kardashian-Jenner siblings commemorated the day with photos of Robert from their childhood. Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Rob and Kendall all took to their social media pages and/or websites to honor the patriarch.
Despite tensions between her and Rob, Kylie shared a photo of her half-brother hugging his late father from when he was a child. "Rob is a spitting image of his dad. I love this pic.. Happy Birthday Robert," she wrote.

The campground was extremely clean. Did not have showers, which was a disappointment. There were water spigots available very few sites, and each tent site was raked and clean. The lake was a short drive down the road. - BeeNbop

Beautiful campground on Lake Mead. My fee reflects the America the Beautiful pass. Lots of palm trees and other vegetation, all well-tended by volunteers. Concrete sites, quite level, all with some view of the lake. Concrete picnic tables and grills. No hookups but there is another campground next door that offers them. There is a sewer dump and fresh water fill area as well as water spigots (threaded) near most sites. I would stay here again but not during allergy season. - mockturtle

We arrived the last week of June to stay for a week while exploring Hoover Dam and Las Vegas - I should have checked the weather! It's way too hot this time of year to dry camp here. Highs reach over 100F and lows won't break below 80F. We have a cat and was worried he'd get heat stroke, so moved to the concessioner campground next-door after 1st night here. In cooler weather, we would love it here! The view of the lake and surrounding vistas are incredible. Verizon LTE data coverage was excellent, which is a must for us to work online. This is on National Recreation Land so there is an entry fee good for 1-week. We have the "America the Beautiful" annual park pass, which got us in free. - Sara C.

Cost was $256 per week. No daily rates exists. Lots are owned and you rent through management company. They charge extra 3% if pay by card. Lots are level. Usually no table but lots are large enough for table, chairs and barbecue. Pool, recreation hall, exercise room, and hot tub are available to all. This RV resort is very nice and owners and renters were very nice. - MHexcursions
Aug 2013 - $44.00
This is a full timers or snowbird park. Sites are very nice and terraced for a view from most areas. The sites are privately owned and rented out when owners are not present. The park was very quiet 24/7 - in fact didn't see many residents at all during our 3 days. It is close to Hoover Dam and a good home base for visiting Las Vegas and being out of the crowds. To sum it up - there wasn't any thing wrong with the park - it just wasn't a great place for overnighters. We probably will look somewhere else next time in area. - pasco1215
Jun 2013 - $17.00
Its a very nice park, well kept and has a 'resort' feel to it with the nice pool and recreation facilities. The bathrooms are not private and usually have two showers on the male side per station. The facilities are clean and include two fenced dog areas. The Wi-Fi (depending on spot) and basic cable are quite good for being free. There is some differences in price between renters and those that own and live on the lots so my price isn't quite reflective as I lived there monthly and lot are rented from either the owner or through the agency from the owner at the park entrance. Usually lots are 450-500 again depending on how one rents the lot. If you rent the electricity is additional and is reasonable compared to Las Vegas. - 72mach1

The park is inside the NRA. Having an "All Access" pass entrance to the NRA was free. I don't know how they treat non-pass holders. Park is very clean and well maintained. The roads within the park could use some work. We had a lake view site and could look out over Lake Mead. The lake view sites are drive in for class A and C's. Back-in for all others. - Bamagolfer

This is a commercial park inside a Lake Mead National Park. The park itself is nice. We rented a lake view site which was concrete, but not level at all. The full hookups were in good working order and easy to access. There is a gravel patio with a picnic table. It was incredibly hot, 112 degrees and we actually ended up the first night driving around in our truck to stay cool and the second night rented a hotel room. So our experience was a bit jaded by the heat. We would certainly stay here again if we were here when the heat was not so brutal. - the Fishers

Arrived near the end of July after checking out their sister site at Willow Beach. Price does not reflect entrance fee (unless you have Passport America or another federal discount). Both areas were suffering under the summer sun as the temperatures hit 118. Our only need was for good 30 amp power and we got it. Registration also helped us determine a site that was oriented so that our vehicle was not baking on the side with the refrigerator (other side has an awning). Slide remained in, front cab windows cover on, single AC cranked. Paved to the basically level, gravel site; small to medium sized trees providing little shade; recycle as well as regular trash receptacles. Did not hook up to water as our tank was full and did not use dump. Hardly anyone else around so great views of the declining Lake Mead. - pyrthkr

We arrived late at night (early morning actually), and I am always pleased to find "some type" of after-hours procedure at a park. Information was well posted and easy to understand, as far as available sites and how to get to them. Park host came around shortly after we pulled in, to check up and see if we needed wifi code, etc. Very few parks have someone patrolling about at 1:00 in the morning; I appreciated the fact that he swung by to see if everything was suitable. We did not use wifi, cable, pool, etc, as we just slept for the night and then departed in the morning. Pull through site was level and easy to get into, all utilities worked well and were well placed. Park is in nice shape. I would certainly return if in the area again. - KeystoneTT

We only stayed one night, really enjoyed this park. New pool and hot tub were both sparkling clean. The hot tub was only luke warm, but the ambient temp was 102*F. Cable, WiFi and other utilities were great. Bathrooms and showers were remodeled and super nice. The couple who checked us in were very nice and glad we stayed with them. The site was small pee gravel which was OK, but not level. I give this nice park a low 9 rating. Only one dumpster location by office. Park is big enough to need at least 3 or 4. We would stay there again. - Numbnuts

This was our second time here and it was just for one night, but again I was so pleased with it. Easy in, easy out, pull through that was level gravel. Utilities worked as they were supposed to. The sites are gravel and the streets are asphalt and plenty wide. There are trees but they are small and don't help much with the heat and sun. I loved that there are 2 dog areas. I can't find a thing wrong with this place. It is in the desert so of course there is no grass which is all that I thought was missing. - Myrt & Gordy

Since we live in Nevada, we've visited Lake Mead on numerous occasions. Even though Lake Mead is very, very dry, there's still a beautiful view of the lake...Take pictures! RV park, is about $180 a week. YIKES!
The RV parking spaces are kind of close together with hook-ups. If you want to have a get together or BBQ, there's a picnic area by the ranger station with ample shaded spots with grills!! Since the ranger station is within walking distance, on occasion, you may have a park ranger come by your area and chat with you. There's a small hiking trail as well in the area. WATCH FOR SIGNAGE! You also can take a walk/drive/ride your bike to the lake or take a swim. There are bathrooms down by the lake so you can change into your swimming attire. Be sure to shower after your swim! We camped at the Lake Mead NRA - Las Vegas Bay Campground. - Oie de Etudiant

$5 per night (using the Golden Age Passport) was for a level asphalt pad that was surrounded by a generous area of sand/gravel and beautiful desert vegetation including eucalyptus trees. Each primitive site has a concrete picnic table and fire ring. This campground is located on the outskirts of Las Vegas where there is every amenity. Our site had a 360? view of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers plenty of outdoor activities including hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, boating, fishing, hunting, and picnicking. There were lots of Gambel?s Quail, Ruby-throated hummingbirds, and coyotes in the area. AT&T and Verizon service were three ? four bars of LTE. There were over 40 OTA TV stations and we received many radio stations including HD stations. - DD Rolling Ranch

We camped here in September, 2014, after all the schools had opened. There were maybe 10 campers in the park. It was so hot! Over 100 degrees. We paid for two days but after the first night we left in search of A/C Now, this wasn't the park's problem. In cooler weather this park would be nice. Spaces, like in all NPS parks were close together. I suspect this place would be really crowded in the full season. Lake Mead was really low - Jim Lee

This park was very run down. The people were friendly enough. The majority of spaces are occupied by permanent residents. The surrounding area is more commercial and not conducive for walks and other outdoor activities. - LouDaisy5
May 2010 - $15.00
The majority of RV's in this park are long term. The people were friendly and very quiet as far as we could see. Park is 1.5 miles away from major shopping so it was very convenient. Good water pressure, electrical stayed up around 127 and no problems with the sewer. Park looks pretty nice from the entrance but it has seen better days once you drive around to look for a site. Cement pads were nice but had to park on part of the pad to get our main slide out. There is a security shack just past the office and there was usually someone there. No problems getting a satellite signal and Verizon Aircard worked well. We would stay here again to load up supplies from Costco and Trader Joe's. NOT a place we would want to hang out in! - jannie5

This location is great for getting right off I-95 or I-515, but the name says it all. Desert Sands is sandy, and you can't get much more desert than that! So there is not much to upkeep. The trash cans seem to fill up faster than they are emptied. There are no shade trees. This seems to be more oriented for much older RVs, but they still have a heart. This is right next to Boulder Hwy. but is quiet at night. Can walk to Skyline casino. And Sam Boyd Stadium is very close for the events. Mall, casinos, groceries up Sunset Rd. the other direction. - steve&kristi

This was an overnight stop for us and I selected it based on other reviews - it was an excellent choice. I may be a bit biased because I feel we had the best site in the campground, A7. A long pull through with good spacing from other sites and a large picnic area. We were the highest rv site in the campground and had a little view of the water. The road down from the highway is narrow and a bit winding with some lumpy patches from the many times the water and dirt have crossed it in rainstorms. During our one night stay it rained hard all night and we wondered if we might get to stay an extra day or two because of road closure but no such luck. The roads and the sites are all paved and other than the one or two next to the restrooms, they all seemed to be nice sites. Verizon did not work, not even a blip. I suspect this might be a very warm place in the summer and is probably very popular for families. This is in a NRA so you need to pay to enter or have a park pass. Register at the marina store. - PBuds

One of my absolute favorite places to stay! Not much to do, and no recreational facilities other than boat rentals and hiking trails, but drop-dead gorgeous views. Road into the campground has been washed out a few times in flash floods, but campground itself is safe because it is high above the river. Roads in campground are paved and in very good condition, as are campsites and all facilities. Sites have a large cement pad and asphalt entrances to pad. No cell service, but free WiFi worked fine, especially with my booster. Also, I was pleased to find a washer and dryer available, which is a very nice bonus. Incredibly quiet and dark at night, which is hard to find these days. I would love to rent a boat sometime, but cannot do that alone. I am taking their raft trip from Hoover Dam next weekend. Incredible value for a full hookup site with senior pass. - judy_online

This part of Lake Mead was unknown to me at first because I was unaware that Lake Mead extended to Arizona. This little gem is right on the lake, very beautiful when the sun rises. It was VERY hot as well.
We only stayed for one night but it was great. The bathrooms are near by. If you have a boat, there's a boat landing as well. It was very dark and quiet at night, but the parking lot is well lit. Also, if you don't like bugs, bring bug spray and some Off. We didn't explore all that much, but it was fun. - Oie de Etudiant

We stayed for 2 nights on our way up to Fallon, NV and I-80. It was a little tight parking, we had a back-in space, with close neighbors, but it was level! There was a local bus stop right out side front gate. It was quiet, even though we faced the Boulder Highway. We had to park on the street, space was for RV only. - Jim and Me

Sites are small....standard sites are 35' deep, which includes the bushes behind your unit. Everybody parks in the street, which makes the street tight. The premium sites are either deeper, or are double sites. The double sites are pull-thrus. All roads are paved, and most sites are concrete. There are 2 laundries, one by the office and one in the middle of the park. The only area for pets is gravel and not enclosed. - ta96silver

Excellent value for my experience. Fit my 45+ foot toyhauler and dually vehicle easily. I specifically asked for their larger sites and they accommodated without any issue. It's a large facility but being Vegas at this time of the year was extremely hot +116 degrees; didn't walk the grounds too much. Dog run was large. Would stay again. Arrived very late ~ midnight and was greeted by staff. Guided me to site and was a great start to my stay. Front office folks friendly and I constantly saw security driving around in their golf carts. - mava

This suited our needs for one night, but would not stay here long term. Wifi is only included at the pool/clubhouse. You must pay to use it at your site. The sites are very close together. Seemed like many long term residents were there. The pool was nice as well as the enclosed dog park. Basically this KOA was a parking lot next to a casino. - jennifernelson49

Staff was extremely helpful and courteous. We stayed 5 nights. Shuttle to downtown and the strip is available, however we had a rental car to do our exploring on our own terms.
Paved interior roads, gravel sites. Utility connections are shared so spacing can be rather tight between neighbors. The pull through sites seem to be tighter than the back in or pull in spaces. We expected the spaces to be tight in an area like this.
All utilities worked well except for the cable tv. Picture was snowy and difficult to view. Mentioned it to staff who sent out a service person, but was not able to correct the problem.
Temps were 100+ during our stay. Even the short walk from the campground to the casino was exhausting for us old people. Would be nice if they could arrange a golf cart shuttle to the casino. Our site, a pull in was large enough for our unit and the rental car. Free wifi is available at the pool area and at the office. A more reliable and faster wifi is available for purchase. - Kazoo Tom

We have just spent 5 nights here. The amenities are good and clean however there is no free WiFi to speak of and the pay for use service they offer for $25.00 for a week is poor, with continual dropouts. The park itself is all sealed bitumen and gravel with a few trees that do nothing for shade thus with the reflected heat it is hot. The pool is kept clean and the heated hot tub is also clean but in the hot sun is no fun. The big issue with this park is the constant sirens from police and ambulances. We have had two nights of little sleep, one where there were numerous police cars with sirens and light going plus the helicopter overhead at low level obviously looking for someone and the other night two SWAT teams with police heavily armed. Not sure if we felt safe with their presence or not.
The park is about 20-30 minute drive to downtown Las Vegas.
Given that I have yet to find a better park for visiting Las Vegas I would just give it an above OK score. - TommBoyd

As of 10/1 this park is now part of KOA. Have stayed at this park a number of times for 1 or 2 nights on our travels north/south through Vegas. Convenience to freeway and casino/restaurants is a plus for us. OK for short stay, Negatives - narrow spaces, poor sewer connections, door to door arrangement in the pull-throughs, little shade, quite noisy (6 AM garbage truck not good). But our recent experience illustrates my general dislike for KOAs. Check in was a joke. Despite assurances that the new owners would honor my free comp nights from Sams Town I had to argue with clerk until a supervisor interceded. Later I noticed clerk had screwed up my paperwork showing we only had a 1 night booking vs 2 nights. Went back to office - was completely ignored by the same clerk and had to resolve with a different clerk. Not a good start for KOA. Based on my past experiences with KOA (not a fan) I suspect the rates on this park will never again be as low as Sams Town offered. KOAs way overpriced in my opinion. - dennis44

The State of the Union Is Angry
What Obama and Gingrich have in common.
We were tired when we got home last night, too tired to pay much attention to the substance of President Obama's State of the Union Address. But we dutifully sat through all 65 minutes of it, and they made a strong emotional impression: This guy is angry. And it was a vigorous sort of anger, not the thin-skinned petulance to which this president has accustomed us. The tone was not whiny but combative. Obama reminded us of Newt Gingrich.
To be sure, there are some major differences between the president and the former speaker. For one, whereas many people argue that Gingrich is not electable, Obama proved in 2008 that he is.
Yet think about the emotional contrast between the Obama of 2008 and the Obama of last night. The former was hopeful and unifying--a friend dubbed him "Mr. Sunshine"--while the latter is furious and divisive. This Jekyll-and-Hyde-like description oversimplifies matters, of course; candidate Obama showed flashes of anger at times, and President Obama struck some unifying themes yesterday. But overall, the mood of this campaign is dark where that of 2008's was light.
Like Gingrich's anger, Obama's is sure to appeal to the most devoted partisans. But also like Gingrich's anger, we wonder if it will appeal to independents. At one point the president said: "I bet most Americans are thinking the same thing right about now: Nothing will get done in Washington this year, or next year, or maybe even the year after that, because Washington is broken."
Obama agreed that "Washington is broken." But that is, to say the least, an awkward slogan for an incumbent president. True, voters thought Washington was broken before Obama became president. Their reaction, in each of the three federal elections after George W. Bush's 2004 victory, has been to oust the party in power.
Last summer, as we noted in The Wall Street Journal, Obama hit something of a political nadir. Many of his supporters were depressed or enraged by his political weakness and what they saw as his ideological inconstancy. If he is to win re-election, it is necessary--although not sufficient--to turn this anger outward at Republicans. "Yes, many are disappointed in Obama," observes Democratic operative Carter Eskew on the Washington Post website, "but [they] are beginning to perceive it isn't all his fault and that the alternative is much worse. Perhaps we are entering a more productive stage of grief."
How's that for a bumper sticker: "A more productive stage of grief: Re-elect the president."
Democrats, of course, were always going to be stuck with Obama as their nominee this year. They have to be relieved that he's now coming across as a fighter rather than a loser. A fighter at least has a chance at winning.
Republicans, on the other hand, have to choose between the scrappy Gingrich and the more complaisant Mitt Romney. The contrast between the two is most evident in their descriptions of the president, whom Gingrich calls a dangerous radical and Romney describes as a nice guy in over his head. To our mind, Obama is neither as dangerous as Gingrich suggests nor as nice as Romney says. But the important thing about these statements is what they tell us about the men making them and the character of the campaign each is likely to run.
Obama has long had very poor approval ratings among independent voters, which ought to make him easy to defeat. Obama's angry appeal is not going to win over unhappy independents. The great imponderable is whether Gingrich's anger would put them off and thereby neutralize Obama's--or, to put it another way, whether independent voters are fed up enough with Obama to respond to Gingrich's angry appeal the way Republicans do.
Funny Money
All right, one quick word about the SOTU substance. Look at this passage:
In the next few weeks, I will sign an executive order clearing away the red tape that slows down too many [federally funded] construction projects. But you need to fund these projects. Take the money we're no longer spending at war, use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the rest to do some nation-building right here at home.
"The money we're no longer spending at war" is a fiction. It is money that has never been collected or borrowed and won't have to be because there is (touch wood) no war to fight. It's like a wife demanding that her husband buy her an expensive gift with the money she saved by not buying herself something even more expensive. Does Obama really think Americans foolish enough to fall for this?

An Exhortation, Not a Fact
Predictably enough, the Associated Press has a "fact check" of the State of the Union Address. Also predictably, it has a high bunk content. Here's our favorite item:
Obama: "We can also spur energy innovation with new incentives. The differences in this chamber may be too deep right now to pass a comprehensive plan to fight climate change. But there's no reason why Congress shouldn't at least set a clean energy standard that creates a market for innovation."
The Facts: With this statement, Obama was renewing a call he made last year to require 80 percent of the nation's electricity to come from clean energy sources by 2035, including nuclear, natural gas and so-called clean coal. He did not put that percentage in his speech but White House background papers show that it remains his goal.
But this Congress has yet to introduce a bill to make that goal a reality, and while legislation may be introduced this year, it is unlikely to become law with a Republican-controlled House that loathes mandates.
It seems to us that it is obvious to any informed reader that the last sentence in the president's statement is hortatory, not analytical. If we are right about that, then the AP reporters are deliberately misconstruing it in order to offer what purports to be a factual rebuttal.
But note too how the AP goes about this. "There is no reason," Obama says, to which the AP replies that he has his facts wrong--that there is a reason, and that the reason is Republican obstructionism. The AP is pretending to hold the president to account while actually making a political argument on his behalf.
White Guilt Death Watch
"A group of about two dozen Duke University students urged administrators Tuesday to create a better climate and provide more financial support for black students, saying they've been disappointed so far in how top officials have reacted to their viewpoints," the Associated Press reports from Durham, N.C.:
The students, almost all of whom were black, unsuccessfully sought a meeting with university President Richard Brodhead at his campus office in hopes of explaining a document they describe as a call to action for the prestigious school.
A reader sent us this story with the comment "Race is still a useful tool in academia," presumably in response to our Monday observation that "white guilt is dying." But we think it bolsters our point. If this were 1968, the students would probably have stormed into the university president's office and issued their demands, prompting him to fold immediately. Now he won't even take a meeting with them.
Meanwhile, the Wilmington News Journal reports on a Delaware racial kerfuffle:
Critics say the Delaware Historical Society cannot adequately tell the story of Delaware's African Americans. The recent announcement that the society received a $1 million grant to establish an African-American Heritage Center in downtown Wilmington has stirred the controversy. . . .
While saying race was not part of the issue, [former Wilmington mayor Jim] Sills does not believe that the Delaware Historical Society can do the job because it lacks diversity.
"I think a white person can do it," Sills said. "I think a black person can do it better, because of that black person's history. That black person is more likely to bring more of a commitment to it, more likely to bring more passion to it, because a black person has lived the experience and can identify with it more than any person from any other race."
Bradley Skelcher, associate provost and a professor of history at Delaware State University, agreed that a good historian should be able to tell the African-American story regardless of his or her race. Trained historians are obligated to do research in a scholarly manner and tell the history in a scholarly fashion, he said.
"Where the African-American experience comes alive is by engaging the African-American community in this process of gathering that history," he said, adding that if the historian happens to be an African American presenting black history it enriches the storytelling.
If there were some reason to think that the Delaware Historical Society was biased against blacks, the concern would be well-founded. Armenian-American groups, for instance, have a strong case when they complain about Turkish government funding of American scholarship about the conduct of the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
But it would be ridiculous to insist because Armenians were oppressed in that era, only Armenians were fully qualified to study the history. And no one would say that non-Americans are less qualified to study American history, or Northerners to study the history of the South. The notion that being black is a qualification to study black history is just another variant on white guilt.
How to Thwart Brown and Warren
Yesterday we criticized Sen. Scott Brown and his challenger, Elizabeth Warren, for entering into a pact designed to suppress political speech concerning their Massachusetts election race. Reader Jeff Mallian has some thoughts on how to thwart the effort:
It seems to me that this "pact" sets up the easiest method to destroy the opposition. If I pay for millions of dollars in ads supporting Scott Brown, he will then be forced to exhaust his campaign treasury, either in legal fees to fight the "pact," or in mandated donations to charities of Ms. Warren's choice. If the ads are sufficiently compromising but still "tend to support" Brown, or "are run in his name,' it's pretty much MAD [mutually assured destruction] all over again.
In an editorial, the New York Sun floats a similar idea:
Now, Karl Rove is smarter than we are--we make that stipulation with genuine admiration--but our instinct is that the right move would be for him to announce that he will spend a fortune in the Massachusetts race supporting Scott Brown and attacking Mrs. Warren. And then to go ahead and spend that fortune. It would be a service to the people of Massachusetts, not to mention, given the reach of a senator's impact, the people of the rest of the country, who have such an enormous stake in the Massachusetts race.
True, it would also saddle the Brown campaign with a debt to the charities Mrs. Warren names. And she or her "People's Campaign" may pick the League for Unwed Communists or the North Korea Children's Social Welfare Fund. The key point is that to make the advertising buy vastly more than Scott Brown or his campaign could ever possibly pay. That would force the Unwed Communists or the North Korean Children's Welfare Fund--both, if they exist at all, no doubt fronts for the Party--to try to collect. Mrs. Warren will be tied up for years in court and might net the charities one used pickup truck.
Of course, another way for Mr. Rove to handle the situation would be to spend millions on television ads in support of Mrs. Warren. It'll be hard thinking of reasons to vote for her, but one could come up with something (maybe "we need more lawyers in Washington"). Mr. Rove could put his own smiling face--and Mr. Brown's--on the ads just to underline how important Mrs. Warren's victory is to him. In any event, Mrs. Warren's campaign will have to disgorge half that fortune to charities that Scott Brown favors, like the National Pickup Truck Museum and the Massachusetts Hockey Puck Parade.
This is very clever, but it strikes us as far too clever to justify actually spending money on--especially if Rove agrees with us that Brown, by agreeing to this pernicious pact, has made himself less worthy of re-election.
Why Didn't Larry Craig Think of That?
"So [reporter John] Hanna tracked down a legislative source he thought would be helpful--and he found him in a men's room at the Capitol. He asked for the data and the source replied, 'If you'd just let me finish my business here, we can go to my office.' Back in the office, the source showed Hanna what the research staff had given his boss and provided to a special study group--the first time any reporter had seen it."--Associated Press press release, Jan. 24

Porn in the USA
What exactly is it that makes Taranto so attractive to porn stars? Business Insider reports that not one but two of them are running for election as mayor of the Italian port city, previously best known as the site of an eponymous 1940 naval battle:
The two women will be running against incumbent Ippazio Stefano--who, we should note, is not a porn star.
[Amandha] Fox, the protagonist of the film "Emotions," is already proving to be a pro as a politician.
According to Il Tempo, she has released a manifesto that roughly translates as "Taranto Awake," It promises, among other things, the "disposal" of industrial giants, revamping of the Navy, development of tourism, and the organization of "Taranto Sex," which will apparently take place in spring and autumn every year.
Now our first impulse was to laugh at the silly foreigners, but then we learn, from Michael Goodwin of the New York Post, that the president of the United States "stands naked as an ideologue willing to sacrifice workers on the altar of special-interest politics." How sick is that? And the New York Times declares in an editorial that "Mr. Obama has become steadily more assertive, but he will have to push even harder."
Maybe America has more in common with Taranto than we like to admit.

Photographs of four girls stare back at Jimmy Branch every day. The girls names are Lacey Osina, Whitney Welch, Staci Lee and Mandi McWhorter. They remind him of possibly the darkest hours of his career as an educator.
On Dec. 19, 1998, a traffic accident occurred which eventually claimed the lives of the four Brock High School girls basketball players and cheerleaders.
Early Sunday morning, another traffic accident took the lives of two Dimmitt High School athletes and critically injured several other students. A pickup carrying 10 students, including several athletes, crashed on a country road south of Dimmitt. Casey Villanueva, a football player, and Stacy Saenz, a girls basketball player, died at the scene. Clay Eby and Andy Sais were taken to hospitals in critical condition. Eby has a spinal fracture and Sais has severe burns. Matthew Gauna was in critical but stable condition on Monday. Jake Laurent and Kenneth Worsham were in stable condition but still in the hospital. Lupe Cisneros, Anthony Oltivero and Juan Gonzales were scheduled to be released from the hospital Monday.
"It's going to be rough," Branch said. "The memories are still there and they'll always be there. My son was involved in an accident not too long ago and you always immediately flash back to that night. He was OK, but it always scares you. We went through every range of emotion. We were in shock at first, then we were confused and there were no answers. Why is always the question you ask and you can't ever answer it. I'm looking at four pictures right now and its always a constant reminder of how tragic the whole situation was."
Branch has been the principal at Brock High School for about 11 years. Before moving to the Brock schools, Branch was a coach in Groom from 1988 to 1991. Brock is a suburb of Weatherford.
On Dec. 19, 1998, Branch's life changed. After a Brock basketball game, six girls piled into a car and drove to a movie rental store. When they returned from the store, two of the girls in the car switched to a pickup truck and followed the other four back home. On the way back, an oncoming vehicle swerved into the path of the car carrying the four girls. Two of the girls died at the scene. Two others died in the hospital a few days later.
The driver of the oncoming vehicle survived the wreck. Branch said the other driver in the accident had a .18 blood-alcohol level. The other driver was later convicted of vehicular manslaughter and is now in prison.
"It was so senseless and so useless. But that's one of the things that happens when you make that decision to drive after you've been drinking. Things can happen so fast. That guy had been out at a deer lease all day and had been drinking. Now he's serving 20-year sentences for each of the girls. Twenty-years, that's a heavy price to pay for a bad decision. But he made the decision to get on the road after he'd been drinking and four girls are dead because of it. People got hurt. It's just a useless tragedy."
During the trial, emotions again boiled to the surface. Some families could forgive the driver who caused the wreck more easily than others. Every day of testimony opened old wounds. Even after the trial, nobody knew why it had to happen.
"To me, the grieving process went in cycles," Branch said. "Right after it happened, it really brought the entire community together and it was as close as I've ever seen it. But as time went on, people kind of drifted a little. Everybody deals with it differently. They all feel emotion and anger and pain, but they deal with it in different ways. I don't know if we'll ever return to normalcy, but maybe we can get back a degree of it."
In the days, weeks and months following the wreck, Brock called in counselors and crisis professionals to help with the grieving process. The school's faculty also chipped in to help console the students, families and each other. State-wide media descended on the school like locusts and administrators spent almost as much time talking to reporters as they did with the children.
At the time, Brock was a Class 2A school. Tragic events seem to amplify in a small community.
"What really made it bad was that it never seemed to end," Branch said. "The girls died at different times so the funerals were at different times. Then we had the trial and that really brought things back to the forefront again. Every time we had an event at the school - prom or graduation or something like that, those memories came back because some of those kids that should have been there weren't. The youngest of the girls that died would have graduated last May so maybe this year won't be quite as painful as the past few. But you never really get over it. You always have the memories."
When a calamity strikes a school, the first, last and only priority is to take care of the kids and the families. However, the faculty and administrators are every bit as much of the school community as the students and the adults sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
"I tried to be strong the whole time. I tried to be the one everybody could lean on and be there to help everybody else. Sometimes it was talking to the kids. Sometimes I would take them out to dinner. I tried to be the one they could come to. But sometimes it got to me. There were times I just had to go into my office, close the door and shut the blinds and let it all out and it wasn't easy," Branch said.

STUTTGART, Germany -- Do you know what to do when a kitchen fire breaks out?
Those who attended U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart's Fire Prevention Day, held outside of the Panzer Exchange on Oct. 15, know not what to do, thanks to a dramatic grease fire demonstration.
The lesson -- never throw water on a grease fire -- was evident as flames leapt out several feet from a pot of burning oil after Nico Mayan, the Böblingen Youth Fire Department leader, poured a small amount of water into the burning pot.
"The number one cause of residential fires -- in the garrison, the Army and the U.S. -- is unattended cooking fires," said Len Fagan, assistant fire chief for USAG Stuttgart.
"The phone rings, the kids are crying ... whenever you have something on the stove and you have to leave the kitchen, you need to turn off the heat. A fire can happen in an instance," he said.
The grease fire demonstration was just one of several activities available during Fire Prevention Day, hosted by the USAG Stuttgart Fire Department with the help of the Böblingen Fire Department.
Both fire departments gave community members rides 100 feet in the air in the rescue buckets of their aerial ladder trucks. The Böblingen Fire Department also gave children rides around Panzer Kaserne in a fire truck as members of its youth fire department taught others how to operate a fire hose.
Meanwhile, garrison firefighters gave hands-on demonstrations on how to use fire extinguishers to put out fires.
Fires don't occur often in the garrison, according to Fagan, because the garrison sponsors an aggressive year-round outreach program, in addition to Fire Prevention Day.
"We conduct fire drills at the schools, evacuation coordinator training, and fire extinguisher training for organizations such as the clinics; Child, Youth and School Services; and the banks. Training pays off," he said.
The exhibit capped off the garrison's observance of National Fire Prevention Week Oct. 9-15, which commemorates the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 that killed hundreds of people and destroyed over four square miles of the city, Fagan said.
It was fitting, then, that the garrison fire department received its latest piece of fire fighting equipment, an aircraft rescue firefighting vehicle on Oct. 7, just in time for Fire Prevention Week.
"In simplest terms, it's a large rolling fire extinguisher," said Karl Dörsam, the USAG Stuttgart fire chief.
Also known as a "crash truck," the ARFF carries 12,000 liters of water and 1,500 liters of foam component, according to Dörsam. The built-in pump has a discharge capacity of 6,000 liters per minute, meaning at full force, it takes only two minutes to empty its water supply.
This is important because, according to Dörsam, "The fuselage of a standard aircraft is supposed to withstand a working fire for about 90 seconds. You need a lot of extinguishing agent in a very short time."
The ARFF replaces a 23-year-old vehicle with about a third of the new vehicle's capacity.
The fire department, based at Stuttgart Army Air Field, will put the 665 horse-powered ARFF to work during military aircraft emergencies and refuelings.
"We're also expected to respond to civilian aircraft emergencies at the airport," Dörsam said.

Just returned from Sheraton Gambia, after a weeks stay. Absolute paradise! The hotel is situated on a beautiful private beach. All rooms have a fabulous sea view. The hotel designed in the style of an African village ( looking a little more North African than West African, I think). The staff are very friendly and helpful, without being over bearing. Rooms are clean and well equipped. The food is delicious...and so much choice! My ideal holiday also includes birdwatching, and I was not disappointed! The hotel grounds are teeming with bird life, and it is not far from Lamin Lodge (a birdwatching paradise set in the mangroves), or Abuku Nature Reserve. If you want expert help with identifying the birds, or birdwatching trips arranged,, speak to 'Doctor Owl', the hotel's resident bird expert. He is usually available during the afternoons, to the right of the pool bar, and has a telescope set up, bird books and binoculars. I am already planning my return trip.Visit olympicholidays.com

Second Kevin Hart show added at Milwaukee Theatre Dec. 15
A late night show for hot stand-up Kevin Hart has been added at the Milwaukee Theatre Dec. 15.
Hart, 32, has had a strong 2012, including double platinum DVD sales of his stand-up film "Laugh at My Pain." His appearance in this past spring's "Think Like a Man" is considered to be key contributor to that film's box office success; it grossed nearly $92 million at the U.S. box office, according to Box Office Mojo, and was reportedly made for $12 million. Hart was also the host of the MTV Video Music Awards in September. »Read Full Article

This year hasn't been kind to shares of IBM (NYSE: IBM ) . The Dow component is trailing the broader market badly, and could end 2013 as the single worst stock in the group.
But does next year hold more promise for IBM investors?
In the following video, Fool contributor Demitrios Kalogeropoulos tries to answer that question. He goes over the tech giant's recent performance and notes that the company has seen some particularly bad results in emerging markets. Still, profitability is holding up, the company is generating billions in free cash flow, and it's on track to boost earnings by 25% in two years. Those fundamentals point to an attractive valuation that could prime IBM shares for a solid 2014.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $2.31 (23% off)
Posted by Reviewer1989577 on Oct 29, 2012
I have naturally strawberry blonde hair. I am 64 and half of my hair has turned gray. All of the other natural shampoos did very little to bring out the blonde highlights in my hair. I tried lemon juice and sitting in the sunshine, and that helped some, but then when I tried this Color Reflect, I was exstatic. It is a wonderful shampoo; it lathers very well, which cuts down on the amount you have to use, and it leaves my hair with a beautiful shine. I LOVE IT!
For blondes, this is the best!
Posted by Reviewer2022209 on Jan 26, 2010
I LOVE this shampoo. My natural hair is dirty blonde, so I highlight it and this shampoo really makes it shine! I've tried others, but this one really makes me look good.
Posted by Reviewer1360100 on Jan 27, 2012
It did not sute me. It scratched and there was dandruff. I usually try new shampoo without conditioner To look how it makes alone. This time i thought it was great mistake! I could not comb my hair! Please, use conditioner!!!
