Right-wing political and legal organizations have unleashed a coordinated campaign of over-the-top attacks on the qualifications, records, and fitness of President Obama's nominees for important positions in the U.S. Justice Department. Deputy Attorney General nominee David Ogden has been the prime target of the Right's wrath, but Solicitor General nominee Elena Kagan, Associate Attorney General nominee Thomas Perrelli, and Office of Legal Counsel nominee Dawn Johnsen have also come in for their share of criticism.
The rhetoric used in the attacks, documented extensively [1] on RightWingWatch.org, suggests that the campaign may be less about actually stopping any of these nominees and more about getting right-wing activists, pundits, and lawmakers warmed up for similar attacks on eventual Obama nominees to the federal judiciary, and in particular to the U.S. Supreme Court. Right-wing leaders want to tarnish the image of Obama to strengthen their hand when they try to block his judicial nominees. But the deceptive and distorted nature of the attacks should signal to senators, journalists, and others the importance of questioning the credibility of those charges when they come.
The Right hopes that their distorted stories about Obama's DOJ nominees will condition conservative activists and media (and, they hope, a broader public) to believe that:
- Obama is a dangerous radical who is using his appointment power to turn the government over to out-of-the-mainstream extremists; and
- his judicial nominees will be extremists who plan to rule based on their feelings and political beliefs rather than the law or the Constitution.
Right-wing leaders have launched these attacks against undeniably qualified and widely respected nominees who have won wide support across the political spectrum, including from many individuals who served as Justice Department officials under Presidents Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II. Their careers show a commitment to the rule of law and to ensuring equal justice and fairness for all Americans principles deeply embedded in the Constitution. The feverish attacks from far-right leaders, whose similarly hyperbolic rants about the threat of an Obama presidency were rejected by voters, make it clear that they are the ones "out of the mainstream."
Extremist Rhetoric
Religious Right leaders have sought to out-do each other in condemning David Ogden, Elena Kagan, Thomas Perrelli, and Dawn Johnsen, denouncing President Obama for having nominated them, and urging activists to demand that senators reject the nominations. The list of issues is a familiar one for the Religious Right: the nominees are attacked for opposing censorship and defending the First Amendment, for promoting equality under the law for gay and lesbian Americans, for backing a constitutional right to reproductive choice, and for supporting a family's right to make difficult end-of-life decisions without interference by the government. Of course, that's not how the Right describes things.
The rhetoric denouncing Obama and the "hard-left extremists" that are poised to "take over" the Justice Department would stretch for pages even in summary form. But you can get the flavor with a small sampling of the denunciations against nominee David Ogden:
"He's just one more in a long line of outrageous Obama appointments of homosexuals, pro-aborts, and now pro-pornography zealots." The Traditional Values Coalition [2]
"He will be a great ally for advocates for death and homosexuality inside the Justice Department." The TVC's Andrea Lafferty [3]
"Are we now looking at a future where the United States will also fund the international production and distribution of pornography?" Janet Shaw Crouse [4], on the "nightmarish possibility" of Ogden's confirmation.
"The fact is this nomination is one more example of this administration's apparent hostility towards pro-life, pro-family Americans. The move feels more like a way to say 'thank you' to his left-wing extremist supporters. I'm sure the pro-abortion, pro-pornography, 'how-can-we-rely-on-such-an-old-document-written-by-white-racists' crowd will love him for it." Mario Diaz [5], Concerned Women for America.
David Ogden: The Right v. The Reality
To summarize, the Right says David Ogden is a hard-left pro-gay, pro-choice extremist bent on promoting pornography, enabling the exploitation of women and children, and subverting the Constitution to judges' personal whims and to international law.
Many of those attacks are based on his record as a private attorney, where he represented [6] such "extremist" organizations as the American Library Association, the American Booksellers Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and, yes, Playboy, which is what led a hyperventilating pundit to cry [7], "Has the Playboy flag really displaced the Stars and Stripes over Washington?" As Ogden has explained, in those cases he was a lawyer representing his clients and their interests in preserving the First Amendment. He never, in spite of the Right's claims, argued that obscene materials or child pornography should go unregulated or unpunished. In fact, Ogden served in the Justice Department as Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Division and Associate Deputy Attorney General and Chief of Staff and Counsel to Attorney General Janet Reno. While at Justice he led the government's defense of anti-pornography laws whose constitutionality was being challenged in the courts.
Among the hard-left radicals who have endorsed Ogden's nomination:
- National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
- National District Attorneys Association
- Fraternal Order of Police
- National Association of Police Officers
- National Sherriff's Association
- Federal Law Enforcement Officers' Association
- and at least 15 Justice Department and other legal officials from the Reagan, Bush, and Bush administration
Faithfulness to the Constitution: A Prelude to the Debate on Judges
Some attacks on David Ogden focus on the Right's caricature of the idea of a "living Constitution." They suggest that Ogden and President Obama believe judges can just make things up without regard to the laws or the text, principles, and history of the Constitution. The charge that Obama and his nominees believe judges should follow their feelings rather than the Constitution is, of course, a false portrayal of Obama's position, and a willful misrepresentation of his comments as a candidate that he would seek judges who had compassion. Who, coming before a judge, would not want to face a person who was willing to apply the law with fairness and an open mind, while understanding the consequences for the people involved? To suggest that such an approach to judging is somehow inconsistent with a commitment to the Constitution and its core values of justice, equality, and opportunity for all exposes a monumental misunderstanding of that document.
The Concerned Women for America's Mario Diaz, writing in Human Events [5], called Ogden's supposed judicial philosophy "perhaps the most troubling aspect" of his nomination, citing a 1986 Legal Times op-ed by Ogden that said, in part, "While constitutional principles do not change, the society and individuals in whom they are applied do, and our knowledge about that society and those individuals improves with time." That's a straightforward comment about applying core constitutional principles to a changing world. But for CWA [8], it reflects a "dangerous philosophy" and a "low view of the Constitution…as a 'living Constitution' that he and his allies should get to rewrite."
It's no surprise that the Right is waging this line of attack it was often the Right's rallying cry during the presidential campaign. Of course, their favored candidate lost that campaign, in which he publicly repeated their attacks on Obama's view of the judiciary and Constitution. So now they're working hard to enlist Republican senators in an effort to fight the same battle over again, and using Justice Department nominees like David Ogden as a warm-up.
Their eagerness to fight President Obama's judicial nominees was evident in the way right-wing pundits rallied around the results of anextremely dubious Rasmussen Poll that purported to show, in the words of one columnist [9], "a vast divide between President Barack Obama and the American public when it comes to judicial appointments" and used the poll to claim that Obama is "outside the mainstream" when it comes to federal judges. Christian Broadcasting Network commentator David Brody warned [10] that the Rasmussen poll is a "danger zone" for President Obama.
The Rasmussen poll was deeply flawed [11]; it forced people to make a false choice about whether judges should make decisions based on what's in the Constitution or based on fairness and justice, an inappropriate and false dichotomy. In November, Americans gave President Obama a mandate [12] to appoint judges who understand that the law and Constitution provide equal justice for all, and that they need to be applied faithfully -- and fairly.
In their own words: It's all About Judges
Evidence that attacks on David Ogden and other Justice Department nominees are really a warm up for judicial confirmation battles comes not only from the familiar rhetoric, but because the Right has pretty much said so openly.
During the presidential campaign, for example, right-wing groups and leaders worked hard to sound an alarm about President Obama's potential judicial nominees. They haven't stopped to take a breath. Here [9], in typically measured tones, is Gary Marx of the Judicial Confirmation Network, a right-wing organization created to push for confirmation of Bush administration judicial nominees, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. "Obama could cement the balance of the Supreme Court to a permanent activist stance where judicial restraint and following the text of the Constitution as our North Star are relegated to the ash bin of legal history."
When Republican senators chose not to go to the wall against Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner after his nomination ran into tax troubles, the National Review's Byron York suggested [13] that they were saving their fire for judicial nominees, noting that "members of the minority party have just so much ammunition, and using it against a cabinet official who serves at the pleasure of the president is not as wise as saving it to use against, say, a judicial nominee seeking a lifetime appointment to the bench."
Senators may be saving their fire, but right-wing activist leaders obviously aren't.
Ken Blackwell, the former Ohio Secretary of State, failed Senate candidate, and failed candidate for chairmanship of the RNC, makes the connection to the courts clear by saying Ogden, Kagan, and Johnsen must be defeated [14] because their DOJ positions could all be stepping stones to the Supreme Court.
Blackwell's boss at the Family Research Council, Tony Perkins, makes a similar connection [15], telling CBN News that President Obama's DOJ nominations foreshadow a series of "hard-left ideologues" to come.
"These people will not only be extremely influential in the application of law. They will also play key roles in filling judicial vacancies on the nation's highest courts," he said.
Perkins added that their selection shows "Obama's rhetoric doesn't meet with reality." He says the country's highest courts would now be "packed" with "left-wing judicial activists bent on imposing personal and political agendas on the American people."
The Judicial Confirmation Network has even insisted [16] that Senators assume the worst about President Obama's nominees: "For every nominee, there should be a presumption that he would as President Obama has told us he prefers decide cases based on his personal views." Of course, the judicial confirmation process is an important part of the Senate's constitutional duties, and judicial nominees should be expected to demonstrate a knowledge of and commitment to the Constitution and to the progress that our nation has made in bringing ever more Americans under its protection. That's a far cry from the JCN's reflexive opposition to nominees not even named yet and its effort to provoke conflict over nominations as a means of making itself politically relevant.
For Future Reference
Sometime in the coming months, Religious Right leaders and their allies will unleash attacks on Obama administration judicial nominees as radical, hard-left extremists bent on undermining faith, family, and the Constitution. That will be a good time for senators and others to review the charges leveled against David Ogden and other DOJ nominees, and give the right-wing charges the minimal respect they deserve.

Jim Cramer Worries for Apple Stock in 2013
I am calling them FCSs: fiscal cliff stocks. They are the shares that it would make too much sense to sell, simply because tax rates do matter a great deal when you own stocks in taxable accounts.
What does an FCS look like? How about Apple (AAPL)? I got stopped on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange by an old acquaintance who asked me a question that has become the most common one I've heard in the last month: "Am I going to lose my shirt in Apple?" I replied, "Depends on the shirt."
I wasn't being glib. I don't want people to be greedy here. If you are wearing a $50 shirt -- meaning your Apple cost basis, or where you bought the stock, is about $50, where I first started recommending it -- you are wearing a shirt that won't be lost for another 500 points. But you are being greedy as all get-out if you don't take off something -- at least your cost basis, if not more.
You see, there is nothing compelling to drive the stock back higher quickly. As a result, you are stuck trying to figure out whether it is worth betting that the stock can trade back to $700 and you can make $150, or whether it pays to take a profit now and pay the 15% rate on the $500 you could put in your pocket at this very moment.
I have enough respect for Apple the institution that it's not an easy call. But my trip to Bucknell University two weeks ago, where I interviewed Steve Jobs' biographer Walter Isaacson, caused me to gravely worry about 2013 for the company. That's because Isaacson said Apple has nothing in the product line-up that's a big "wow," factor, nothing "OMG." Further, Apple TV -- on which many people are pinning next year's growth -- needs the cooperation of the cable operators in order to pull off. The cable operators are very powerful and doing well, unlike the music companies that Jobs corralled for iTunes, and Cook is not a punisher bully like Jobs, so it is hard to believe the cable companies will cede control of the cable box to Apple.
That means 2013 may not have enough new product introductions of any consequence, as opposed to product tweaks, to propel the stock higher. However, next year will certainly have enough in it to make the stock go lower, thanks to the fiscal cliff's revision in capital-gains taxes. If your taxes double on your gain in Apple, it can be much better to sell now than sell later. I recently sold a lot of the stock for my charitable trust after listening to Isaacson. I couldn't act on it immediately because of my restrictions, but I also never pride myself in calling the exact top on a stock. The trust had a double, and Apple was way too big a position vs. everything else because of price appreciation. That points to the essence of greed.

Company makes solar accessible
WATERBURY Renewable energy for the cost of an electric bill?
Vermont leads the nation per capita in workers employed in the solar industry, a sign of the states progress toward a goal of receiving 90 percent of its power from renewable energy by 2050. But despite the proliferation of solar panels on rooftops and in fields across the state, for many property owners, the initial investment can represent an insurmountable financial hurdle.
But in Waterbury, SunCommon is offering property owners a chance to install solar electricity and solar heating systems with no upfront cost.
Instead, customers pay a monthly bill, much like a mortgage, but typically an amount that is comparable to a monthly electric bill. This approach aligns with the way homeowners think about the way they pay for heat or electricity, said Jessica Edgerly Walsh, organizing manager for SunCommon.
Were used to paying a monthly bill for our electricity and in some cases our heat, Walsh said. Thats how we think about power. Nobody thinks about spending $20,000 for their fuel source.
So, in addition to coming to a customers home to discuss solar panel placement and the construction necessary to install them, SunCommon will also connect the customer with a local lender to arrange financing. Local lenders include the Vermont State Employees Credit Union, New England Federal Credit Union and Heritage Family Credit Union.
This model is apparently working well for SunCommon, which recently completed its 900th installation during its two-year existence. While based out of Waterbury, the company performs installations in Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille and Washington counties, and last week expanded its work to reach customers in Orange and Windsor counties as well.
In May, SunCommon installed a 40-panel solar system at the Brookfield home of Allen Wilder, who took advantage of the no-money-up-front financing to make the project a reality.
It makes it so you dont have to put a penny out and youre paying it back as if youre paying an electric bill, said Wilder, whose home is now generating so much electricity that he sells it back to Green Mountain Power at 6 cents a kilowatt hour.
Wilder applauded the way the project benefits the local economy, from working with a home-grown company to borrowing from a local vendor.
Heres a company that is helping the local economy. Thats one of the reasons I picked them, because the money stays in state, Wilder said. Its great for them, its great for the guy buying the solar and its great for the local credit agency.

In a past article on XML Databinding, I showed how you could work with Java objects and have them persist as XML files.
In this article, I'll discuss Sun's Java Data Objects (JDO) standard. JDO allows you to persist Java objects, supporting transactions and multiple users. It differs from JDBC in that you don't have to think about SQL and "all that database stuff." It differs from serialization as it allows multiple users and transactions. This standard allows Java developers to use their object model as a data model, too. There is no need to spend time going between the "data" side and the "object" side.
Various products -- including CocoBase, WebGain TOPLink, and Castor JDO -- try to do this for you. Now that there is a standard way to do this, we get the benefit of only having to learn one way to do it. This is just like when JDBC came along and allowed us to work with any database that provided a driver. Great stuff!
We will take the Address Book example from my XML data binding article and "port" it over the JDO world. The JDO implementation that I will use is OpenFusion JDO from Prism Technologies. As you'll see, there is only one part of the code that uses a PrismTech API; everything else uses the standard JDO API (with the implementation hidden behind the scenes).
The code for this article can be downloaded as a zip file here.
We will walk through the following tasks:
Person object that we wish to persist in the database.
PersonPersist object that will take care of persisting, reading,
and updating the
Persons in the datastore.
We'll start with the same
Person object we defined in the XML article. This object follows the
standard JavaBean conventions of
get and
set on the attributes. Notice that although we are
persisting this class, there is nothing special about it. It doesn't have to inherit or implement
any persistent interface/base class. The requirements for a class that can be persisted are:
public, or
set* methods).
With these requirements in mind, let's look at
public class Person {
private String name;
private String address;
private String ssn;
private String email;
private String homePhone;
private String workPhone;
// -- allows us to create a Person via the constructor
public Person(String name, String address, String ssn,
String email, String homePhone, String workPhone) {
this.name = name;
this.address = address;
this.ssn = ssn;
this.email = email;
this.homePhone = homePhone;
this.workPhone = workPhone;
// -- accessors
public String getName() { return name; }
public String getAddress() { return address; }
public String getSsn() { return ssn; }
public String getEmail() { return email; }
public String getHomePhone() { return homePhone; }
public String getWorkPhone() { return workPhone; }
// -- mutators
public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
public void setAddress(String address) {
this.address = address;
public void setSsn(String ssn) { this.ssn = ssn; }
public void setEmail(String email) { this.email = email; }
public void setHomePhone(String homePhone) {
this.homePhone = homePhone;
public void setWorkPhone(String workPhone) {
this.workPhone = workPhone;
So we have a
Person object that we want to work with. Now we need to create something that will manage the persistence. Let's walk through the code, and see how we:
main() method.
Here we have the beginning of the
PersonPersist object. We import the standard JDO classes
and the
ManagedConnectionFactory from the OpenFusion implementation. We could have
abstracted that out to a separate class, of course. The constructor sets the connection factory,
using the
javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass property. This is like
setting the database driver property in the JDBC world.
package addressbook;
import java.util.*;
import javax.jdo.*;
public class PersonPersist
private final static int SIZE = 3;
private PersistenceManagerFactory pmf = null;
private PersistenceManager pm = null;
private Transaction transaction = null;
// Array of people to persist
private Person[] people;
// Vector of current object identifiers
private Vector id = new Vector(SIZE);
public PersonPersist() {
try {
Properties props = new Properties();
pmf = JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory(props);
pmf.setConnectionFactory( createConnectionFactory() );
} catch(Exception ex) {
The connection factory is created in a static method named
createConnectionFactory(). This factory needs the JDBC URL, the JDBC driver, a
username, and a password. OpenFusion JDO also comes with a
DBHelper that looks for a
properties file containing the database settings to use.
public static Object createConnectionFactory() {
ManagedConnectionFactoryImpl mcfi = new
Object connectionFactory = null;
try {
connectionFactory = mcfi.createConnectionFactory();
} catch(Exception e) {
return connectionFactory;

Here we have some real meat. The
persistPeople() method creates three people, using
the constructor that we saw in the
Person.java file. Then we see JDO at work. The first
thing we do is get a persistence manager via
getPersistenceManager(). Then we
create a transaction where we will do our work (and we commit that work after we do it). To persist this
object graph we simply call the
makePersistentAll( Object[] ) method. The
for() loop at the bottom of the code gets the unique ID for the persistent objects, and saves
them away for later use.
public void persistPeople() {
// create an array of Person's
people = new Person[SIZE];
// create three people
people[0] = new Person("Gary Segal", "123 Foobar Lane",
"123-123-1234", "firstname.lastname@example.com",
"(608) 294-0192", "(608) 029-4059");
people[1] = new Person("Michael Owen",
"222 Bazza Lane, Liverpool, MN",
"111-222-3333", "email@example.com",
"(720) 111-2222", "(303) 222-3333");
people[2] = new Person("Roy Keane",
"222 Trafford Ave, Manchester, MN",
"234-235-3830", "email@example.com",
"(720) 940-9049", "(303) 309-7599)");
// persist the array of people
pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager();
transaction = pm.currentTransaction();
// retrieve the object ids for the persisted objects
for(int i = 0; i < people.length; i++) {
// close current persistence manager to ensure that
// objects are read from the db not the persistence
// manager's memory cache.
Here are some of the other methods that you can call on the persistence manager. The three categories are:
|Make instances persistent
|Delete persistent instances
|Make instances transient
makePersistent(Object o)
deletePersistent(Object o)
makeTransient(Object o)
makePersistentAll(Object[] os)
deletePersistentAll(Object[] os)
makeTransientAll(Object[] os)
makePersistentAll(Collection os)
deletePersistentAll(Collection os)
makeTransientAll(Collection os)
Our display code starts by getting the persistence manager (as all the code will do). We use the object IDs that we saved in the
persistPeople() method above to give us our object back. Once we have our object, we can call the methods that the object implements -- in this case
gets to give us our data back. At this point you are probably seeing there isn't a lot of code needed to persist your objects.
public void display(int end) {
Person person;
int max = end <= SIZE ? end : SIZE;
// get a new persistence manager
pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager();
// retrieve objects from datastore and display
for(int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
person = (Person) pm.getObjectById(id.elementAt(i),
System.out.println("Name : " + person.getName());
System.out.println("Address : " +
System.out.println("SSN : " + person.getSsn());
System.out.println("Email : " + person.getEmail());
System.out.println("Home Phone: " +
System.out.println("Work Phone: " +
The code to change a
Person that exists in the datastore is simple, too. It should look very
similar to the code to display the "people." Here we are creating a transaction (since we are modifying the row), changing the name using the
setName() method that
we defined, and finally, committing the transaction to save the changes back. The only real
difference between this operation and working with transient objects is that we are thinking
about transactions.
public void change() {
Person person;
// retrieve objects from datastore
pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager();
transaction = pm.currentTransaction();
// change DataString field of the second persisted object
person = (Person) pm.getObjectById(id.elementAt(1),
person.setName("Steve Gerrard");
// commit the change and close the persistence manager
Could you have guessed the code needed to delete the second person from the datastore? You know all of the information. Looking at the code below you will see that we are using the
deletePersistent() method mentioned in the persistence manager methods in Step Two.
public void delete() {
// retrieve objects from datastore
pm = pmf.getPersistenceManager();
transaction = pm.currentTransaction();
// delete the 2nd persisted object from the datastore and
// its id from Vector id.
// commit the change and close the persistence manager
Finally, this program has a
main() to run through, persist the people, change one, and then delete it. If you run this, you will see the address book displayed at each point.
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Create PersonPersist");
PersonPersist personPersist = new PersonPersist();
System.out.println("Setup and persist a group of people");
System.out.println("Display the persisted people");
System.out.println("Change a name ");
System.out.println("Delete a person ");
personPersist.display(SIZE - 1);
We now have all the code for our application. The next step that we need is to create a JDO descriptor that the JDOEnhancer will use. "What is the JDOEnhancer?", I hear you scream. The JDO architecture is built with the idea that a JDO implementation can take the bytecode
for your classes and manipulate them to add needed functionality. For example, the
JDOEnhancer will make the class implement the
PersistanceCapable interface (so you
don't have to), and may implement some of the methods in that interface. So we will see that
after we compile our code, we will have to run the JDOEnhancer to do the bytecode
manipulation (this is something that Thought Inc. doesn't like about JDO).
We need to create a descriptor file that gives information about the classes that we wish to
persist. The file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jdo SYSTEM
<package name="addressbook">
<class name="Person" identity-type="datastore">
This is a basic file, but works for our needs. There is more complicated mapping available, and you can check the spec at Section 18: XML Metadata. Here is a slightly more complex mapping from the OpenFusion examples:
<class name="Department" identity-type="datastore">
<field name="name"/>
<field name="employees">
<collection element-
<field name="manager"/>
Now that we have the code and the JDO descriptor, let's put it all together and see how to build the system.
There are only a couple of steps to build the system that we have created:
We all know how to run
javac right? We just have to make sure that we set up the
CLASSPATH correctly before we run it. Here is an example running Windows:
% set OPENFUSION_DIR=D:\Apps\OpenFusionJDO
% set
% javac �d . Person*.java
The JDOEnhancer takes the compiled code that we just created and the JDO descriptor file that we built previously. Here is the full syntax of the OpenFusion JDOEnhancer:
java com.prismt.j2ee.jdo.enhancer.JDOEnhancer
Mandatory Options:
-cp base directory to begin searching for classes to be
enhanced. This is not the CLASSPATH, just where our
compiled persistent classes are
-oc directory to place the enhanced classes
-pd JDO descriptor file(s)
-db specific target database [oracle, sybase, etc]
-od directory to generate SQL scripts to
Here is an example of running the JDOEnhancer for our application:
% java com.prismt.j2ee.jdo.enhancer.JDOEnhancer -oc . -pd
person.jdo -db oracle -od db -cp .
The JDOEnhancer can create database scripts to set up the database for us, as long as we give it the
�db and
�od switches. It will create lots of separate scripts, but one will be called
load_all.sql. Open that file and load it into your favorite SQL prompt (e.g.,
for Oracle).
Take a peek at the Oracle version that is created for our application:
CREATE SEQUENCE instid_seq INCREMENT BY 1
CREATE TABLE JDO_addressbook_Person_SCO
inst_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
class INTEGER NOT NULL,
JDO_address VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_email VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_homePhone VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_name VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_ssn VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_workPhone VARCHAR2(255)
CREATE TABLE JDO_addressbook_Person
inst_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
class INTEGER NOT NULL,
JDO_address VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_email VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_homePhone VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_name VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_ssn VARCHAR2(255),
JDO_workPhone VARCHAR2(255)
CREATE TABLE prismjdoProp
name VARCHAR2(255) PRIMARY KEY,
value VARCHAR2(255)
CREATE TABLE prismjdoExtents
class_id NUMBER(38,0) PRIMARY KEY,
class_name VARCHAR2(255) UNIQUE,
app_key VARCHAR2(255)
ALTER TABLE JDO_addressbook_Person_SCO ADD PRIMARY KEY
(inst_id, class)
ALTER TABLE JDO_addressbook_Person ADD PRIMARY KEY (inst_id,
INSERT INTO prismjdoExtents VALUES(0, 'addressbook.Person',
INSERT INTO prismjdoProp VALUES('USE.RDBMS.TRIGGERS', 'true')
Now the database is set up; we can run the application and see it roll!
% java addressbook.PersonPersist
Grab the code and try it out!
We have shown how to work with the new JDO standard, using the OpenFusion JDO implementation. This is a new world, where developers can focus on their business needs and work with objects without having to be SQL gurus. I hope JDO takes off, even though some people in the industry think that the spec isn't quite there yet.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I'll Respect the series....but I WILL NOT RESPECT FOR people who's saying Tobi Is Obito,shisui
Shisui was still alive when Tobi attacked Konoha. At that time Tobi already had Obito's eye and Shisui still had both of his. So enough of these stupid Tobi=Shisui theories.
It's not going to be Shisui for the simple fact that it contradicts him loving Konoha so much. The guy tried to genjutsu the Uchiha clan to not attack Konoha. Now does it make much sense for him to go through all that effort only to have his eye stolen by Danzo afterwards and then try to destroy the village years later when that was the very thing he was trying to prevent? He also wouldn't just hand over his other remaining eye knowing how useful it was. Tobi is the type to steal powerful eyes, not just give them away like a stick of bubblegum.
Right now Kishi is trying to set up the fans to believe he's really Obito but I'm not 100% convinced. He's done the same with Madara. There's a good chance he may not be an Uchiha even now. Why? Because ok sure he has an MS, but his eyes never deactivate just like Kakashi who is an expert with his sharingan as well. Nagato kept his rinnegan on all the time with no sweat despite not being an Uchiha. We don't know if Tobi is human since his arms tend to melt like icecream but we do know he has Uchiha and Senju dna. It wouldn't suprise me if he even used Uzumaki dna to increase his chakra stamina.

i wouldnt mind because shishui uchiha is a very interesting character
as long as kishi give a good explanation... naruto is the best anime ever IMO,im not giving up or lose my respect only because of tobi's ID.
Least likely person, Shisui is like one of the most selfless characters in the series, he was the FIRST 'good' uchiha we know about.
If tobi WAS shisui why would he talk about his own eye in third person "Damn you Danzo, you even crushed shisui's eyes before you died"
Doesn't make sense dude.

No, Naruto isn't The best anime:ice: it's just best selling Manga.
Ya, deep down I always wanted it to be Shisui :3
who cares about some sad crybaby stories... who watches porn for its plot? its the same with naruto for me.. all about the techniques
It's not possible simply... Don't even wanna prove it, you will see it soon enough
And it has nothing to do with his age, and that + hair ressemblance being only prove is just sad. Glad all these theories can soon come to an end, they are getting worse and worse.
It's not Shisui. Remember when tobi confronted Danzo and he said "Shisui's eye is mine" or something related to that. If it was Shisui why wouldn't he say "my eye". I highly doubt this theory.
How do you respect a series exactly? D:
I think you mean "Would you respect Kishi if Tobi is revealed as Shisui"?
My answer to that question is: I would still have the same amount of respect for him, not much at all.

i can't be a vegan but I'm damn proud to be a vegetarian..
Vegan not for my health, but for their lives. That it's good for my health is a nice bonus.
I am 22 years old, and I recently became a vegetarian 5 months ago after watching the documentary "Vegucated" on Netflix. Seriously is a must watch to anyone thinking of becoming vegetarian. I am trying to eventually make the switch to a vegan lifestyle as soon as I can drop the cheese habit! I don't drink dairy milk, yogurt, and can easily cut eggs since I almost never eat them! My advice to people on here worried about protein… Don't worry! Most people are unaware how much extra unnecessary protein they eat a day with diets that involve meat. I use protein powders that are vegan-in smoothies! There awesome! Plus there's tofu, your "meatless" options (veggie burgers, chick'n), beans, leafy greens, broccoli, cheese, eggs, whole wheat breads and pastas…the list goes on and on! Honestly, just remember you also need iron, b12, vitamin D, calcium, etc…look into that… I take multi vitamins daily as well as pro-biotics and vitamin c.. But seriously I love not eating meat no regrets, I don't miss it one bit! I've tried so many new meals and trust me… I'm a picky eater! Go veg!
I became a vegetarian when I was about 12 I'm 36 now. I'm over weight because I like pasta but
Had everything checked and it was all good and I was told my cholesterol was amazing. I recently got
My son and his girlfriend to become vegetarians. I'm Slowing changing the world one person at a time. Save the animals.
i became vegan 27 years ago for health,now i am first vegan because they are gods critters and they also have souls,second because i love animals,as i write looking at vegan healthy cat with her sparkling eyes and soft shinny hair, remember elie ma on the BEVERELY HILL BILLIES, JESUS WAS AN ESSENE VEGAN, GENESIS 1:29, AND THEY KILLED HIM FOR BEING ONE!
There is a lot of misinformation out there on vegan lifestles. I am trying to convert to a veganlifestyle and I know any health issues o have will disappear.
I saw Meet Your Meat when I was in the ninth grade, but I stopped eating meat, when I figured out chicken nuggets came from actual chickens. If children are told that what you're feeding them used to be a living, breathing, creature they would be vegetarians. The older meat-eaters get the stupider they get.
I loved this list. It doesn't mean there are only eleven vegetarians in this world. We can add more names if we want. No, it's not sexist at all. How about Linda McCartney?
I am still considering becoming a vegeterian. The only thing holding me up is that I am still researching how to meet my protein requirements and such safely as I have numerable food allergies. I highly respect vegeterians and vegans and hope to soon count myself among their number. Wonderful quotes. Very inspiring. I particularly like the quote from Gandhi.
I became vegan after watching "If slaughterhouses had glass walls"; I had become a vegetarian after studying animal welfare and seeing a video on the traumatic psychological effect factory farming has on animals
I'm vegetarian since more than 40 years. I had a lots of energy in my lifetime and I was almost vegetarian in my childhood too when I saw a chicken (my friend!) was killed by the a servant. My mother never was able to kill any animals. Once my father brought home one shut down bunny and my mother was sick for weeks. I really believe part of the human race are not carnivore.
Has anyone seen the restaurant chain commercial that mentions having a vegetarian item on the menu without actually saying the word "vegetarian" as something for "your teenager who's going through a phase?" Hmm. Interesting that I can't remember the restaurant but I sure remembered that back door way of offering a lower-on-the-food chain menu choice. but, at least they're doing it I guess. BTW, my heartfelt thanks to all at PETA and particularly to the undercover reporters. I personally could never endure what they have to witness and document in order to change or create laws to help farm and lab animals. Many thanks!!!!
I don't eat meat, because of the animals soft etes @ how they love their Babies

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Game 62: Getting a little tired of this.
At what point is it going to no longer be cool to constantly bean the Yankees with pitches? Serious question, here. Because during the Boston series we got plunked a grand total of about six times, and then during this series with the Indians, we've gotten hit another three or four times. That's about 10 times in five games. Isn't that a bit on the overkill side? I know people hate us, and blah blah blah, but at a certain point, I'm not going to allow pitchers and/or teams to feign ignorance and say they didn't do it on purpose or with any intent. That's not how it works, at least not in my mind. Moving on however…….
Colon had yet another great start, proving that picking him up over the off-season was a shrewd and calculating move for Cash. 6.2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K. That's freakin' phenomenal. Robertson and Logan pitched the last 2.1 innings, giving up 3 H, 0 ER, and 5 K combined. With Joba out until sometime mid-next season, we really need what's left of our bullpen to step up and do their jobs. We can't afford to lose anyone else, for any other reason.
We didn't have the same offensive explosion as we did in yesterday's game, but with the pitching as good as it was, we didn't need it to be. Alex went 1-3 with an RBI, before having to leave the game due to the aforementioned plunking. Mark went 1-3 with an RBI, Grandy went 1-4 with an RBI, and Gardy went 2-3. All in all, I'd say it was a damn good game, and I hope I can post the picture of Crazy Stein tomorrow after the game.

Maybe it's just the beaning streak, but the Yankees don't lead the league in plunkings. The White Sox have been hit 42 times while the Yankees only 33. The Red Sox are next at 26 (AL only).
Totally and completely agree on the beaning. It was actually nice to Girardi get in Manny Acta's face about it on Friday night and nice to see the umpire not waste any time tossing the guy who beaned ARod. Keep up the great writing, love reading it.

The false hope of "right-to-try" metastasizes to Michigan
Ed. note: Please read disclaimer in Dr. Gorski's profile!
There are times when supporting science-based health policy and opposing health policies that sound compassionate but are not are easily portrayed as though I'm opposing mom, apple pie, and the American flag. One such type of misguided policy that I've opposed is a category of bills that have been finding their way into state legislatures lately known as "right to try" bills. Jann Bellamy and I have both written about them before, and with the passage of the first such bill into law in Colorado in May, I had been meaning to revisit the topic. Although "right-to-try" laws are a bad policy idea that's not new, versions of such bills having been championed by, for example, the Abigail Alliance for at least a decade, the recent popularity of the movie Dallas Buyers Club appears to have given them a new boost, such that Colorado state Senator Irene Aguilar even frequently referred to her state's right-to-try bill as the "Dallas Buyers Club" bill. It's a topic I've been meaning to revisit since the news out of Colorado, but apparently I needed a nudge, given that it's two months later now.
Unfortunately, that nudge came in the form of a right-to-try bill (Senate Bill 991) being introduced into the legislature in Michigan by Senator John Pappageorge and unanimously passing, almost without comment by the committee and certainly with minimal news coverage, through the first hurdle, the Michigan Senate Health Policy Committee. In parallel, the same legislation (House Bill 5651) has been introduced into the Michigan House of Representatives.

There was a heavy veil in the temple which hung between the Holy of Holies and the congregation. The veil was very thick and weighed so much it took 300 men to lift it. The temple priests on duty when Jesus died recorded that an earthquake tore this veil from top to bottom. This miracle illustrated that because Christ died for us, we as individuals can now approach the throne of God for communion, prayer, and worship without a mediator.
A second earthquake was accompanied by the descent of two angels and the rolling back of the massive stone which had sealed the tomb where Jesus was buried. This caused the guards to shake and become "like dead men". When the women arrived at the tomb, an angel told them, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay." (Matthew 28:5, 6) There they found the grave cloths, neatly lying in the shape of His body.
The rolling away of the stone was not necessary for Christ's body to come out of the tomb; it was a sign of the defeat of Rome's power. The women had gone to mourn; instead they were assured that Christ was alive forevermore! Death could not keep its prey. Faith and hope had risen from the grave!
When they heard and saw these things and so much more, the transformation of the state of mind and conduct of Christ's disciples, followers, and friends was also evidence of the Resurrection. The apostles preached to the very men who had aided in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus and who had heard that He would rise again. (See Matthew 27:62, 63) On the day of Pentecost, many who had assisted in Christ's death became His disciples, giving fresh proof of the power of His Resurrection. (See Acts 2:36-41)
Choate Baptist Church welcomes you to join us for Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Morning Worship at 11 a.m., our Sunday Evening Service at 7 p.m., and our Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting at 7 p.m. Brother Odom's message can also be heard on Radio KAML 990 AM each Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m.

Sox Lose…Twins Win…Hopes Dashed
I admit it, there are times when I'm a hopeless optimist. One of those times was Friday night after the 4-3 comeback victory vs. K.C. The combination of the Sox win and Twins loss, which narrowed the Minnesota lead to five games, put me in a good frame of mind.

USSA Club Certification Guidelines
Note: These guidelines are currently under review and slight revisions for the 2014-2015 season. For the most updated information see the main Club Certification Page.
Why Club Certification?
While club development and basic club certification is for every club, podium level club certification is a process designed for the clubs that want to perform a comprehensive organizational assessment in order to verify and demonstrate their understanding of the best principles and implementation of best practices.
What Will Certification Do for Our Club?
USSA club certification (at any level: certified, bronze, silver or gold) will validate your organization in the eyes of the parents, the resort and the community. Your athletes and families will experience focused and efficient athletic programming that will result in attracting more young people and keeping them in your club longer. Your club will develop assessment tools to track and evaluate club progress that will facilitate planning. Experts from your region and USSA employees will provide resources and actively help in this process for certified clubs. The Club Certification Program will enhance your club's operations and ensure business sustainability.
At any level of certification, your club will be recognized as a progressive and innovative organization with professional athletic programs that are concerned and attentive to the health and welfare of the athletes. By engaging in the Club Certification process your club will dramatically increase the opportunity to benefit in the following areas:
What is the Club Certification Process?
Club certification is a process of self-assessment, peer-evaluation and organizational improvement. This process will be supported with on-going Club Development resources and opportunities. The process of certification is a partnership between the USSA and the individual clubs. It is not an examination but rather an effort by the USSA to assist its clubs through assessing club leadership, operations and athletic programming and performance. Through the process of club assessment, the USSA will determine areas of need and provide additional resources and teaching modules to the clubs individually, regionally and nationally. Any comments, suggestions or recommendations made during the certification process, a peer interview/visitation or by the certification committee are offered constructively with the above in mind.
What are the Levels of Certification and What Do They Mean?
Can Clubs without Certain Levels of Athletic Performance (i.e. National Team Placements) Reach High Levels of Certification?
Yes. While the certification process certainly considers and rewards specific athletic performance and success, it also recognizes organizational performance and success. Further, certification is intended to be an assessment of the organization's self-stated goals and objectives. Therefore, if the stated goals are to place athletes on the National Teams, and the club has not, that is an unmet organizational goal, but if the stated goal is to be the best developmental program in the country and the club is, then it is reaching its goals. The Bronze, Silver and Gold certification levels will identify clubs that are truly part of the Olympic pipeline at any level – and these clubs will be recognized as podium clubs. The certification process is designed to recognize all the elements that lead to success with organizations, parents, athletes, volunteers, staff, funding and athletic results.
The USSA wants to certify and recognize not only those clubs that have fostered athletes (year after year) to the elite level, but also those clubs that do it right (day after day) regardless of whether they have elite athletes, and perhaps play a different role within the national pipeline.
It should be noted that the bar is set very high for Bronze certification such that it may take some time for a club to reach this level. As a Bronze Club you are on the podium and we all know what kind of commitment and mix of required elements it can take to get there. Therefore, Bronze does not indicate satisfactory performance - it is not a "C" - it is verification that you are a Club deserving medal status. With this said, Gold and Silver certifications will be reserved for those clubs that are going above and beyond the required elements and can demonstrate performance in all areas over time.
The basic level of certification is intended to recognize all clubs that meet the minimum certification requirements and are in alignment with the USSA's core values and guidelines.
So What?
Certified Clubs are more:
What are the Certification Requirements?
1. Certified Club:
2. Bronze Club:
3. Silver and Gold Clubs:
The certification process and materials provide a summary for a self and peer-assessed inventory and evaluation of these important Club activities:
All certification applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to published deadlines to initiate the process. Only complete applications will be considered for final review.
Involvement and Engagement in Certification
It is important to involve key constituents at the board, staff, athlete, parent and community levels in this process. Not only will this help to divide and conquer with regards to the tasks of the process itself, but this will also foster more engagement of all club constituents. The club's lead staff and an officially designated board member accountable to the certification process are required to participate in the interviews and visitations and the certification process will require the club to take stock of all constituents involved in the organization, which makes it a good time to check in with them directly!
This will also allow the club to make the most out of this process. The entire club community should be aware of the club's certification candidacy. Further, the club can benefit from some exciting public relations, marketing and club engagement opportunities related to this process.
Involvement is the key to realizing the true benefits of the certification process, as opposed to it being a more invisible administrative process.
What is the purpose of the Interview or Club Visit?
Bronze, Silver and Gold applications will be complete in advance of the club visit or interview (for Bronze). The purpose of the club visit or interview is to:
To represent the partnership between the club and the USSA the Club Certification Visiting Team will consist of (5) individuals:
(1) Visiting Team Chair: a Club Expert Consultant as local to the region as possible, or may also be a USSA employee.
(1) USSA employee (Club Development Manger, Regional Manager, Sport Education Director, or other).
Of the above visiting team members, one will focus on organizational performance
and one will focus on programming and athletic performance.
(1) Visitation Host: Must be a current or honorary club board member.
(1) Club Community Member (Delegated by the club/unbiased/someone with a broad perspective and the best interest of club in the forefront)
(1) Club Executive Staff Leader (Executive Director, Head Coach, etc.)
What Happens after the Club Interview or Visit?
The Club Certification Visiting Team or Club Development Manger in the case of Bronze level interviews will draft a Club Assessment Report, which will include a recommendation for assigning the club Bronze, Silver or Gold status.
The information provided in the assessment reports, and the associated recommendation for certification levels, will be reviewed by a committee of USSA staff. This committee, and the USSA Club Development Manager, will be responsible for approving all USSA club certifications and issuing final USSA Club Certification levels.
All elements that will be reviewed for certification are shown below.
Certification Criteria for Review
Certification and recommendation for Certified, Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of certification will be based on:
Certified Club
Bronze Club
Silver and Gold Clubs
Once Certification Courses have been completed and all related materials have been received, interviews with Bronze candidates will be arranged within 30 days. Club visits with Silver and Gold candidates will be arranged as soon as possible but may take up to 6-months to complete.
Questions, comments and certification materials should be directed to: Brian Krill, USSA Club Development Manager, email@example.com. Please also contact the Club Development Manager for a list of the approximately 140 elements/questions associated with podium club (Bronze, Silver or Gold) certification.
Certification Timeline
Basic certification applications may be submitted at any time and will be processed within 30 days once complete.
Clubs seeking to engage in the podium level certification process must register with the Club Development Manager by Wednesday, November 27, 2013 to be considered for certification during the 2013/2014 season. Clubs seeking Bronze certification must simply inform the Club Development Manager of their intention to pursue certification and activate the on-line certification course. Clubs seeking Silver and Gold certification must submit a Letter of Intent via e-mail, and must receive approval to engage in the Silver and Gold on-line certification process.
All clubs officially engaged in the certification process will be named "Candidates for USSA Club Certification" at the beginning of the 2013/2014 season.
Bronze certifications will be issued on a rolling basis within 30 days of the club completing the certification process and the required interview. Please note that this may take several months or several seasons to complete.
Silver and Gold Certifications will be issued and announced at the Club Excellence Conference in May. All podium clubs (Bronze, Silver or Gold Certified) will receive recognition, marketing materials, and other resources at the Club Excellence Conference in May for use in off-season to generate support, recruiting and other benefits for the upcoming season.
All certifications require annual filings and will be fully reviewed every 4 years (quadrennially).
Clubs Seeking Higher Certification Levels
Certified clubs seeking higher levels of certification need not wait for the required 4-year review. Clubs may submit a written request to the Club Development Manager for higher levels of certification with documents detailing updated organizational or athletic results to be considered. The Club Development Manager and the USSA will review and determine the Club's request based on updated results.
Clubs with Multiple Sports
Many USSA clubs offer programming in more than one sport. In this case, primary certification will be given to the club as a whole (Bronze, Silver or Gold). In addition to the club's overall certification level each sport will receive a certification level (Bronze, Silver or Gold). For instance:
A Gold Certified club may have:
A club may have sport programs that are at a lower level, but not a higher level than the primary club certification. However, USSA clubs seeking Bronze, Silver or Gold certification will need to demonstrate that all their sport programs meet Bronze certification requirements.
Consideration will be given to clubs that have recently added a new sport to their programming. If new or newly established programs are not yet up to Bonze certification levels, a review of these programs will be a priority in the first official four year review.
As far as the USSA is concerned it is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage to have multiple sport programming when considering club certification. However, while accommodations will be made for new programming, all programs run by a podium certified USSA club will be required to meet no less than Bronze certification standards within the time frame of the first official four year review.

I have a 6 months old daughter, and I have breastfed her. Currently I am not sure if I am having enough supply. How do I check the diaper wetness? And, how much water you can give to her?
It's hard to concentrate on the swalling...but I am starting to pay attention.
Ok, so basically, how again, I check if she is having enough liquids at 6 months.

Oregon's frugal fun
Vacation adventures can be affordable in Northwest
As part of the scenic Pacific Northwest, Oregon is well known for its outdoor adventure opportunities. Oregon adventures span a wide variety of locations, from the mountains to the coast, and from the Columbia River Gorge to the rivers and plains of eastern and central Oregon. Adventurers can enjoy hiking, skiing, kayaking, beachcombing and more. Best of all, many of these outdoor adventures are affordable, even for budget travelers.
Mount Hood Meadows Nordic Center
Cross-country, or Nordic, skiing is inexpensive and easy, even for inexperienced skiers. The Nordic Center has 15 kilometers of groomed track, and also offers equipment rentals and lessons. Visitors will need to pay a daily track fee, or purchase a season pass. The Nordic Center also offers a "Learn to Cross Country" package, which includes the daylong track fee, equipment rental and a 90-minute lesson. For those feeling more adventurous, cross-country skiing trails are available in more remote locations in the Mount Hood National Forest, too.
South Beach State Park
Located just south of Newport on Oregon's central coast, South Beach State Park offers many outdoor adventure opportunities, including fishing, crabbing, boating, windsurfing and beachcombing. Additionally, in the summer, South Beach State Park offers two-hour kayak tours for ages 6 and up. Kayak tours are $15 per person (subject to change), including equipment and lifejacket rental. Regular state park entrance fees apply, and camping is available. Visitors can also take advantage of nearby attractions such as the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse.
Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
The beautiful, forested Columbia River Gorge is a can't-miss Oregon attraction, and full of adventure. The gorge includes waterfalls, campgrounds, historical sites, and more than 100 miles of hiking trails, from short and easy day hikes to 30-mile backpacking loops. Hikers can climb to the top of, or behind, several of the waterfalls. Camping is available seasonally at Ainsworth and Viento State Parks, and at U.S. Forest Service campgrounds. Day use fees are not charged at many sites in the gorge, making this a super-affordable adventure destination.
Farewell Bend State Recreation Area
Visitors to Farewell Bend, located on the Oregon/Idaho border, can learn about the Oregon Trail through its interpretive displays and see actual Oregon Trail wagon ruts. Visitors can also enjoy fishing, water-skiing and boating on Brownlee Reservoir, and beach volleyball and basketball on land. State park day-use fees apply, and camping is available. In addition, visitors can explore the surrounding area, which includes the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Baker City and jet boat tours on the Snake River.
Oregon Caves National Monument
The Oregon Caves are one of southern Oregon's most popular attractions. Visitors can take a 90-minute guided tour of these unique marble caves, plus hike through ancient forests and visit the historic Oregon Caves Chateau. There is no entrance fee for the monument, but there is a fee for guided cave tours. Campgrounds are located within a few miles, but not at the monument itself.
