America's finest blog
These are edited excerpts from editorial writer Chris Reed's Opinion blog. Readers are encouraged to respond to him at firstname.lastname@example.com
I recently wrote about the insanity of Rush Limbaugh pretending George W. Bush had nothing to do with the housing bubble. So much for the speeches Bush 43 gave while president pressuring lenders to lower standards and dole out loans to millions of people who couldn't make down payments.
Perusing a recent New York Times, I had the same you-cannot-be-serious reaction to an editorial ripping Senate Republicans for considering filibusters of judicial nominations.
When a filibuster is used in ways the NYT doesn't like, it's "Time to Retire the Filibuster" – that was an actual headline on a 1995 editorial. When a filibuster is used in ways the NYT likes, the NYT loves it. And so in 2005, when majority Senate Republicans considered scrapping the filibuster, the NYT blew its top, warning the GOP not to "desecrate" the Senate's "time-honored deliberative role and of its protection of minority rights."
But in a March 9 editorial, the NYT was back to seeing filibusters as obstructionist and undemocratic – and had the gall to lecture Republicans for being inconsistent, saying talk of judicial filibusters is "at odds with their previous views."
Of course Republicans are inconsistent and ready to ignore inconvenient history. But so are Democrats – and so are the NYT's editorial writers and Rush Limbaugh.
My point being that hyperpartisanship, whether it be from the loudest voice on the right (Limbaugh) or the loudest voice on the left (the NYT editorial page), inevitably yields gross intellectual dishonesty. This is why for the life of me, I can't understand why any smart person would root for a political party with the intensity and purity with which he or she roots for a favorite team or athlete. They don't deserve it.
Now, rooting against parties makes sense – both of them. Each have built-in, impossible-to-reconcile hypocrisies.
But both routinely pretend to be idealistic and noble and consistent. And their media promoters play along, ignoring or rewriting history to sell dishonest narratives. And all too many people buy these narratives, when the most rational and logical response is raucous laughter – and a refusal to take the narratives seriously.
Even before the economic downturn left it with empty subdivisions and rampant foreclosures, the Inland Empire felt like it had an image problem – that it was looked down on as a sea of meth labs and seedy trailer parks by people who lived closer to the coast.
I worked in Ontario for eight years in the 1990s and know this to be so. It's why newcomers to the area would often hear pre-emptive defenses of its purported charms – "Oh, Redlands is really nice, and there are very nice parts of Upland and Rancho Cucamonga," etc. – and why some residents would react sharply to what they perceived as even the vaguest hint that the Inland Empire was a hickish Deliverance West.

Celeb Clan Close-Up: Jessica Alba and Honor Dress Up
Filed under: Celeb Parents, Fashion, Celeb News & Interviews
Not-So-Dark Angels: When your mom is the very stylish -- and very beautiful -- actress Jessica Alba, it's probably a pretty safe bet you'll be inheriting her cute and well-dressed ways.
Just look at little Honor Marie, 2, as she celebrates Easter last weekend in California with her mom and dad, Cash Warren (not shown). The little darling is adorable in her short dress, white tights, Mary Janes and perfect swing coat. Love the pigtails and doll, too.
And Alba is every bit the cool mom with her short printed frock, black opaque tights, ankle boots and leather jacket.
Sweet as a chocolate bunny.

Universal Studios has made a similar offer to Disney's. Military members get a free 7 day ticket. Dependents can buy a 7 day ticket, for both parks..for only $89. I still don't think we'll be going there....but, I thought I would pass it on for anyone interested.
Also..Seaworld still has their free days to military and their dependents. Just remember to go to their website and print out your voucher!

Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center Teams With 'In the Wildflowers' Program to Help Trauma Victims Cope and Heal Through Prayer
CHICAGO, Jan. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center has partnered with producer Julie Woodley to present "In the Wildflowers" program, a 10-part DVD series aimed at educating and helping victims of childhood sexual abuse cope with their trauma as they heal in a safe and supportive environment. Woodley, a member of the national outreach team at Timberline Knolls, serves as the ministry outreach representative and works to touch as many people's lives as possible with the powerful and healing message offered in "In the Wildflowers" DVD series.
"In the Wildflowers" is set is to spread its message throughout college campuses, beginning in Minnesota. Typically "In the Wildflowers" takes 10 weeks to fully experience, but the DVDs and accompanying curriculum were condensed into a one day and one night session for college-aged participants and will include a 3 1/2 day training session led by Woodley for those who want to learn how they can use "In the Wildflowers" to help others to heal.
The Wildflowers program is the brainchild of Woodley, a victim of childhood sexual abuse herself, who developed the idea when she was stricken with cancer. "I had it in my heart to take my own healing journey," Woodley said.
Woodley began developing "In the Wildflowers" by journaling about her healing processes and reading almost 60 books dealing with the power of faith, prayer and healing. The program was inspired by the Song of Solomon 2:12 which reads, "Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land," said Woodley. With these words, Woodley said God began to heal her. Once physically healthy, she traveled all over the United States to meet the authors who had inspired her to help others along their healing journey.
Woodley met, interviewed and filmed upwards of 40 professionals all specializing in various areas of Christian therapy and healing, as well as six women all from very different backgrounds in need of healing. She filmed the women's progress over several years and was amazed at the strides they made in their own journeys.

Author Bio
H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived for almost all his life. When he was 7, his father died, after being institutionalized for madness related to, it is suspected, syphilis. Spending much of his childhood isolated due to poor health, Lovecraft used the time to read. After he dropped out of high school following a "nervous breakdown," he began to write short stories inspired by Edgar Allan Poe and others. Still living at home with his increasingly ill mother, Lovecraft found work as a freelance journalist for local papers, even working as an astrology columnist. In 1917 he became president of the United Amateur Press Association, a post he held again in 1923. By then, he had already written a handful of stories, but it wasn't until the early 1920s that his work took on a unifying form. In 1922 he began writing what would become the 60-odd stories that compile the Cthulhu Mythos. These stories feature an extremely cohesive, if tremendously complex, system of gods and monsters, and their interactions among themselves and with humans across a multitude of dimensions. From 1923 onwards, almost all of Lovecraft's short fiction appeared in Weird Tales, a pulp magazine where many of the future writers who came to emulate and idolize him first encountered his work. He married and moved to New York for two years before divorcing and returning to Providence in 1926. Inspired by his stories in Weird Tales, Lovecraft's many fans wrote to him and, as a result, he co-wrote stories with some of them. In 1931, his mother died in the same asylum as his father. Six years later, Lovecraft died of cancer. In 1939, one of his acquaintances, August Derleth, co-founded Arkham House, a publishing company dedicated to Lovecraft's works. The business didn't become successful until the mid-1940s, but it is largely through Arkham's efforts that Lovecraft--and, later, other authors--became widely known and respected.

Luxury apartment where you can enjoy a privileged life Concierge, driver, chef and tour services. Housekeeping every second weekday. Additional service available. Finest quality linens.
On the corner of Via Condotti in Rome, the Renata apartment is in the heart of all that is elegant in the Eternal City. A two minute walk puts you in front of the Spanish Steps, a location that is so popular because it is so central. Stroll for 15 minutes and you can find yourself at most of the noteworthy sites of historic Rome. Designer shopping abounds at your doorstep.
The building mirrors the neighborhood, a proper 'palazzo' built about 250 years ago when the Princes Torlonia were amassing their fortunes by managing the fortunes of the Vatican and build the palace across the street.
The apartment is on the third floor (second, European designation) and adjoins the Valentina apartment that, if available, can be rented at the same time to sleep up to eleven people, one of whom would occupy the sofa-bed in Renata.
Spacious and quiet elegance typify this fine apartment. Two large windows light the living room overlook Via Bocca di Leona.
Two white sofas are grouped by the working, gas-fired fireplace that features stonework from the ancestral home in southern Italy. The hand-hewn ceiling beams have been exposed to display the room as it was originally designed. Also in the living room are some fine antique pieces, a sideboard, and a dining table that will seat six. The living room has a television with satellite reception. The apartment is wired for high-speed wifi internet.
One sofa converts to a bed for one person.
The flow is from the entry to living room or to down the hall to one bedroom. Off of the living room, one enters a small hall that leads to either the second bedroom or the kitchen.
The floors are tile with carefully selected patterns.
From the entry way, you can enter a bedroom suite that has single beds that may be combined as an extra wide queen. The room has a set of square-framed antique prints above the bed and across the room, the design is balanced with a mirror in horizontal strops. The closet area is great for travelers with spaces for stowing your suitcases and open shelves and rods that keep your items in view. The closet leads to a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub with shower.
Through the living room, you enter the second bedroom with a brass bedstead for the queen-sized bed. This bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a fixed shower head over jacuzzi tub. This bedroom has a special feature, a small study with a private balcony.
The kitchen is equipped with a four burner stove top, oven, dishwasher, small refrigerator/freezer, and drip coffee maker. Also included for the guests are dishes, flatware, and pots and pans for guest use.
The kitchen also has its own sunny balcony that is glassed in to form the breakfast area. This pleasant area is great for casual meals. The laundry nook is accessed from this area.
Light housekeeping every other weekday.

This apartment is offered by Italy Perfect. We are a family business with a mission! We want you to love visiting Italy as much as we do. We are sisters Lisa and Pat Byrne who lived in Italy in our youth and now travel there frequently for business and pleasure.
The Owner purchased this apartment in 2005
This is the most desirable neighborhood in Rome for Romans and tourists.
Location, fine furnishings, art, housekeeping, a/c, wifi.
Overall, our accommodations were just wonderful. We enjoyed the apartment very much. Our hostess was very helpful, left us great recommendations and information. One thing that would have been helpful were operating instructions for the washer.
The location and surrounding area are a wonderful place to stay; we found it convenient for the places we wanted to visit. There also are a number of great restaurants and eateries in the area. Definitely liked having a grocery store nearby.
The only slightly annoying issue was the fact that a violinist played outside our window for a number of hours each day. The first day, we enjoyed it. However, because the same music was played over and over again (very limited repertoire), it became very annoying. I noticed the violinist on one occasion asked another violinist to leave. But, it would have been a nice switch for the monotonous repertoire!
We would definitely recommend Italy Perfect to a friend and are pleased to know that the company operates in London and Paris, as well.
We had a great stay in Rome. The owner was very gracious and the apartment was indeed lovely with an elegant mix of modern and antique . However we could really relax there too! I recommended the property to a group of Americans at the Hassler Tgiving celebration. And will continue to recommend it in the future to others ! Thanks again, Pat , for all of your help.
For our group of ten we rented these two contiguous apartments and turned them into a single unit by unlocking the door between the to units. It worked perfectly well for our group's size and we could all fit around the dining table in Valentina. Everything was in good shape and the kitchens were sufficiently outfitted with the exception that they need to buy a few frying pans. Super location perfect for extended family groups.
It all started with our driver, Stefano, who sent Marco to greet us at the airport... There he was waiting for us with a big smile, broken English & a sign to greet us after a long flight.... I was worried about arriving so early, but after emailing Pat, the owner, & making the necessary arrangements prior to our arrival, we had no problems checking in to our apartment & getting settled in. We were greeted by an amazing woman, señora Marcella, who couldn't have been more pleasant & informative. She gave us directions to the grocery store, a tour of the apartment & a print out of restaurants & shops in the area. The apartment was comfortable, clean, perfectly located & I can still hear the opera singer in the street below our window during the day. :-) It was easy to feel at home pretty quick.. Every morning we went out for our 6am coffee & walked thru the plaza around the Spanish Steps... It was easy to make our way around town with the metro entrance which is located in the square. With all the shops, fresh fruit vendors, & restaurants at our door step, we couldn't have asked for anything more... Thank you for making your home available to us for our stay, it was the most memorable trip to Rome I've had, due in part to your home away from home... I will be back. Until them Molte Grazie...
The Renata was a terrific choice for walking Rome. In five days we never took a taxi, but walked to all the sites from this beautiful, traditional apartment with it's high ceilings, lovely furnishings, great bathrooms and modern conveniences. Perfect? Almost. There was a bit of noise issue at times from the adjacent apartment and from one set of windows that let the street noise in. The greeter, Chiara was delightful, but could have done a little more orientation on things like the door buzzer/phone/TV as the info book in the apartment is need of a little updating. Edgard, our on-site helper was very friendly and did a great job with the light housekeeping. We actually did not need to call him until it was time to head downstairs with our bags. (the lift was a treat at the end of a few long walks!) The neighborhood is wonderful - so close to everything one needs (mini-supermarket/bakery/etc. GREAT shopping. Loved the Italy Perfect connection and the Renata - both made our Rome visit so special!
Our family had a wonderful stay in the Renata apartment which is located in a elegant roman street only a couple of minutes walk to Spanish Steps and surrounded by elegant boutiques and shops. We walked to all the major tourist attractions with two young children in tow without any problems. There is plenty of restaurants surrounding the apartment, coffee shops and a great organic bread shop round the corner. I would pop out each day to buy the bread still hot from the oven! There is also a small supermarket at the end of the street about a 7 minute walk away which was handy to do daily grocery shopping. All the rooms were big and comfortable with the exception of the kitchen which was small but had everything you needed. The oven is a portable oven located on a high shelf which I found to be a problem and the refrigerator is only bar size so you could not do a big grocery shop. As with all our holiday rentals throughout Italy there is no clothes dryer so washing had to be done each day and dried on a portable clothes line which would take two days to dry. The apartment is decorated with some beautiful antique pieces. Our host was really lovely and very helpful with recommendations for tourist guides, restaurants etc. We had a great stay and would recommend the apartment.
The apartment was perfect in every way! Surprisingly roomy for our family of four and the floor to ceiling windows made it feel huge. Loved returning to the air-conditioning after a hot day of sightseeing. Most evenings we enjoyed dining out at the neighborhood restaurants (great recommendations in the Book), but it was a real treat to have our own kitchen and cook in a couple of nights as well. The location couldn't have been any better and working with Pat at Italy Perfect was such a pleasure!

Yes, it's that car again. It's an oldie, but has resurfaced on the Interweb recently after news that its creator, Ueli Anliker, is thinking of selling it for a reported £7m. That's right, seven million for a SLR decked in gold and red and diamonds and rubies and, err, no, actually. Just stop. Stop now. Please.

An Insider's Look at Big Data
The term "big data" draws a lot of attention, but behind the hype there's a simple story. For decades, companies have been making business decisions based on transactional data stored in relational databases. However, beyond that critical data is a potential treasure trove of less structured data: weblogs, social media, email, sensors, and photographs that can be mined for useful information. This presentation will take a look at what Big Data is and means - and Oracle's strategy for handling it.
Complete Database Security
As the amount of digital data within organizations continues to grow at unprecedented rates, so does the value of that data and the challenges of safeguarding that data. Two thirds of sensitive and regulated data resides in databases, yet most IT Security programs fail to address database security and the primary sources of threats that databases face today: insecure applications and privileged users. In this session, you learn about the evolving attacks against databases, adopting a defense-in-depth database security strategy, and new solutions that offer transparent protection for Oracle and non-Oracle databases, ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance.
Oracle Database Appliance
The Oracle Database Appliance is a new way to take advantage of the world's most popular database in a single, easy-to-deploy and -manage system. It's a complete package of software, server, storage, and network that's engineered for simplicity. Learn how you can save time and money by simplifying deployment, maintenance, and support of database workloads, and quickly scale from two processor cores to 24 processor cores without incurring the costs and downtime usually associated with hardware upgrades.
Zero Downtime Data Migration and Consolidation for Reducing Complexity and Cost
Database consolidation and migration to high-performance, cost-effective systems is a key method to reduce complexity and TCO of data infrastructure. Oracle's data integration products offer robust data migration and consolidation capabilities that deliver business continuity and fast time-to-value, and they are certified for Oracle Exadata. This presentation discusses how to leverage Oracle GoldenGate's real-time data replication capabilities to achieve zero downtime migration and consolidation. It will provide a high level overview of other configurations for continuous availability solutions. In addition, it will cover how to address complex data transformation requirements in migration projects.
Extreme Performance with Oracle Engineered Systems
One of the biggest obstacles to achieving extreme system performance is IT complexity; multi-vendor environments can be too costly and complex to manage effectively which often leads to diminishing performance. In this session, you'll learn how Oracle's engineered systems, including Oracle Exadata, Oracle Exalogic, Oracle Exalytics, and Oracle SPARC SuperCluster can improve system performance by orders of magnitude, and massively simplify system deployment and management –all at a lower cost than building and supporting a system piecemeal.

Under low fault current interruptions, cutouts generally fall open when a fuse is blown, indicating the location of an operated fuse. A cutout may not always fall open, however, requiring line workers to spend valuable time identifying the location of the blown fuse. This inefficient use of resources prolongs the duration of service outage and ties up critical work force time, leading to higher labor and maintenance costs. To help avoid this challenge, ABB offers kick-out springs on Type ICX cutouts. The kick-out spring is an open-assist feature that forces the fuse door to open each time the fuse operates. No longer will line workers waste valuable time searching for an open cutout only to find the cutout with the blown fuse did not fall open.
Kick-out springs are available on all 100 A and 200 A ICX "interchangeable" styles. ABB fuse tubes with kick-out springs will also fit and operate in competitors' interchangeable style fuse supports/cutouts bodies. For more information, click here or contact the factory at +1-252-827-3212.

Any GOOD college tennis camps?
I think one of the best ways to expose a junior to college coaches, is to send them to college camps. However, it seems as if, for advanced players (those who have a chance to play division I college tennis) there are no quality college tennis camps?
Let me know your feelings on this subject.
I have seen the UCLA one advertised all over the place.
But you will have much better luck going to a hardcore tennis academy.
The mindset and mentality of the players is so much more competitive, and no one likes loosing.
If you have a chance to play at that level in college, then you might as well find a really good academy.
Usually not in a college though.
Usually at some club with crappy dorms. =]
But if you really love tennis, then you should be fine with it.
I went to Weil Tennis Academy for 2 weeks and it was pretty well structured.
Within the United States, I believe that Tyler Junior College has distinguished itself as a top school in tennis, both instruction and competition. Coaches Peterson and Kettelson are tremendous judges of talent, and I believe would provide you with a realistic assessment of your potential. Try and get to their competitive camp, or try and arrange a few days at TJC. Other suggestion would be to hook up in Ithaca with coach Dave Geatz, and get his opinion. This wouldn't be recruitment, and again he has a tremendous eye for reality in players. Its money well invested. Both have camps that allow this.
duso I find that hard to believe. I don't think you read the words 'FOR ADVANCED PLAYERS' in my question.

Just graduated 11th grade so I have some experience. I'm in the Southerns, so...
