AD Round Up: Architecture in Singapore
BCI Asia recently released its top ten awards list for architecture firms in Singapore. In recognition of some of these firms, as well as the excellence of the built work across this sovereign city-state, we've collected some of our favorite projects from Singapore. In this round-up you'll find a mall by Aedas, a house by Ong&Ong, and a theme park attraction by DP Architects - all firms that placed on BCI's list. No less deserving of attention is this public library by LOOK Architects, a hospital by Broadway Malyan, an art school by WOHA. The Tangga House, Cluny House, and The Golden Box, designed by Neri & Hu, Guz Architects, and K2Ld respectively are also fabulous works. We hope you'll enjoy these projects, as well as our full list of architecture in Singapore located here.
Heatherwick Studio To Build "Learning Hub" in Singapore
London based Heatherwick Studio have won a competition to design a Learning Hub at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The construction of the Hub, part of a £360 million scheme, will be the first redevelopment of its campus in twenty years. Having already won the BCA Green Mark Platinum Award for Sustainability from the Singaporean Government, the design seeks to redefine the aspiration of a university building. Within this new context the purpose of the university is to "foster togetherness and sociability" so that students can meet and learn in a space that encourages collaboration.

International Summer Programme: Cities in Asia
Cities in Asia HKG-SHA-SIN is a four-week design and research studio organized by the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Architecture. Taught with daily learning activities by a diverse group of faculty members from the University of Hong Kong, and speakers from internationally renowned universities and independent research groups, this course offers participants a design studio experience within Asia's most vibrant contexts.
This credit-bearing course will introduce participants to different architecture and building types that have emerged from the current state of rapid urbanization in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. These urban building types are unique in the way they resist and subvert, or become mutated or subsumed by the prevailing socio-political and economic conditions of the three cities. Participants will learn about new architectural and urban theories and analytical methods that will broaden their knowledge of architecture and the city. The course will expose students to the inter-disciplinary nature of the subject, promoting more diverse attitudes towards difference and change, and encouraging greater confidence in applying the use of such knowledge to design and the broader society.
Registration deadline is April 16. To register, please go to the event's official website.

computer shutting down
I have a new computer using Windows 7. I need to change settings so it doesn't shut down with out me being aware of it. What do I need to change? Many thanks.
I think you mean the computer is going to "Sleep".
If you set Hybrid Sleep to âÂÂoffâ then your computer will not sleep. To set it off do the following.
- Open Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings
2. Click on âÂÂChange Advanced Power SettingsâÂÂ
3. Expand Sleep
4. Under âÂÂAllow Hybrid Sleepâ ensure that the settings is set to âÂÂOffâÂÂ
Now your computer will be on all the time
Perhaps the heatsink fan has quit, then computer will indeed shut down to protect the processor (CPU)
If a desktop remove the side panel to see if the fan is spinning up, if a laptop feel the outlet for the air it will be on the side, back or bottom.
Or if the computer stays running long enough download Speccy from Filehippo and run it to see your temps. Stay with the free version.
Does the computer run for seconds, minutes or longer before shutting down?
Short of editing the registry which may not be a good idea, I'm not sure you can prevent auto-reboot to complete updates.
You could of course turn off "Automatic Updates". Set it to download them but let you decide when to install them.


text: Not in our close family. We get together for a fun party and most bring a gift but it is NOT required. We do small showers in a person's home with everybody knowing everybody. The big ones with ~100 are just gift grabs. When I have attended them I am lucky if I know 5 people. Two very different events. One a gift grab, as the no wrapping ones are, and one a intimate get together.

Personnel Effort Report (PER)
By federal law, the university must document the effort expended by employees paid by grants and contracts (OMB Circular A-21 Cost Principles for Educational Institutions).
The Personnel Effort Report System (PERS) is an after-the-fact certification system that accurately documents these employees' effort on projects for sponsoring agencies. The Personnel Effort Report (PER) certifies the level of effort expended on sponsored project(s) during a particular timeframe. This provides sponsoring agencies reasonable assurance that the labor costs charged to a sponsored project reflect the actual effort expended on the project.
The PER can be generated on a quarterly, semester or monthly basis, based upon campus needs. Reports are generated for any employee paid on any sponsored project (HRMS FOPPS is in Fund 30 or 31).
The employing campus sponsored programs office distributes the PER Form to the employing department for confirmation of accuracy by the employee and/or the designated responsible official. Once the form is certified as correct, and any needed changes have been made, the employing department notifies the campus sponsored program office. The PER system is then used to track the receipt of the forms, so any missing forms can be identified and located.
For additional information, contact the specific campus sponsored program offices and the following websites:

Didomyk writes : "You are wrong and you know it. Putin's Russia is "not just as bad" they are ten times worse than Georgia. "
This is merely an opinion, not a fact. And you don't back up your statement with anything. Therefore, it amounts to weasel words.
Again, if Georgia is so much better than Russia, then there would be no need to repeatedly post links about "human rights violations in Russia", because it would be all to clear to everybody!
Next time you see Saakashvilli, tell him that George Bush sends his love, and misses him
Dido writes: "You are right I am selective in my "choosing to post Russian links"." ----- Yes, such as durdom websites?
Dido, noone cares about OMON, it doesn't effect Georgia's life and most certainly doesn't make Georgians' life more difficult as it is.
More evidence emerged today about Russian police violations of press freedoms. Today Moscow's armed and masked police raided the offices of the opposition "New Times" magazine demanding that journalists hand over interview recordings used in preparing media reports on OMON's abuse of authority.
Recordings of interviews and other material cited Russian police as saying OMON officers are permitted to commit abuses when breaking up protests.
OMON police officers are widely known for committing civic rights abuses and employing high-handed Gestapo-like tactic against Russian civil rights activists.
Leftwinger87 wrote: "Oh, look at Russia, they're just as bad as Georgia, so therefore that excuses Georgia's behavoiur."
You are wrong and you know it. Putin's Russia is "not just as bad" they are ten times worse than Georgia.
You are right I am selective in my "choosing to post Russian links". There are hundreds of irrelvant links, one needs to be selective.
I post factual evidence, you post speculative "whataboutism" about anything that suits your nationalistic views.
And, of course, Joe the Infant ("Ivan Ivanovich") posts plain trush, the kind of trush he remembers from his training sessions at the Y. Andropov School of Foreign Service before he was posted to the US. Sometimes, working like a maniac, he copies directly from his instruction manual received from his Kremlin masters. Poor boy, completely brainwashed, no hope.
Dido, you are on the wrong forum, this one is dedicated to Georgia, please adjust accordingly.
Indeed, Leftwinger, Dido is cherry-picking many times. Be careful though, he may claim you as a Russian KGB, since you post something that undermines his post.
Dido is selective in his choosing to post Russian links. He will post the ones that suit him, and support his point of view. Any other links that express or serve to offer a contrasting point of view to his own are selectivly "censored" or not posted.
Dido is a true believer in freedom of expression as it is practiced in Jughashvili's oh, sorry, excuse the typo Saakashvilli's Georgia
distracting attention from the lack of freedom of speech and democracy, human rights in Georgia doesn't excuse Saakashvili's authoritain regime's brutal behaviour.
Your argument reads along the lines of :"Oh, look at Russia, they're just as bad as Georgia, so therefore that excuses Georgia's behavoiur."
It doesn't. You're in the wrong forum with this post. This is about Georgia. Please stay on topic.
Joe the Infant wrote: " For all we know this website have been infiltrated by KGB guys.."
Everybody knew that as soon as Joe the Infant - otherwise known as Ivan Ivanovich - started posting his garbage.
That kid is a hopeless case. No chance whatsoever.
Dido writes: "Here goes Joe the Infant - otherwise known as Ivan Ivanovich - with more of his infantilism. That kid is a hopeless case. No chance for recovery, ever." ----- Very mature of you, Dido. You make Bat'ko Bandera so proud of you.
Anyways, this article is about Georgia so stop posting links about Russia's internal affairs. Stay on subject. Also, why would you post a Russian link, isn't against your belief? For all we know this website have been infiltrated by KGB guys, so you contradict yourself by posting Russian sources, while claiming that ALL of them are KGB-controlled. Very clever of you, ... or is it?
Mass arrests of demonstrators on Moscow's Triumph Sq. - looks more like Gestapo in Berlin or Munchen in the summer of 1939, - but this is Russian Spetznaz in Moscow in August 2010
Here goes Joe the Infant - otherwise known as Ivan Ivanovich - with more of his infantilism. That kid is a hopeless case. No chance for recovery, ever.
You missed Putin's motorcade stretching for miles !
How come no one is seen firing mashineguns ? I expected at least a couple of Katyushas mounted on armored cars and some anti-aircraft batteries protecting Putin. You know, you can't be too careful !
Georgia can have Crimea, or China. Before it fully separates from Ukraine, I advise Dido to sell it to China in order to repay current IMF loan. Dido's kind is not welcomed here in the US, we do not support people whose hero is a children/women murderer (Stepka Bandera)
Very impressive motorcade! I don't think I'm in a position to reveal all the secrets concerning Kadyrov's bodyguards and vehicles.
However, how about Yanukovich's cortège. Look here I think he is in a LADA armored car.
Didomyk, since Sir Walter is away in deep Kryzhopol experiencing malfunctions with his sophisticated equipment I'll quote him as saying, "Your commentaries Didomyk brilliant as always. Right on the point." Sorry for plagiarism.
First of all it's not my forecast on the floating Crimea but of your chief meteorologist Mikola Kulbida. Very bold prediction from you too, I mean about the Yankees dragging it away to the Atlantics. I believe then you have to relocate yourself and settle down in the Crimea. Don't miss your chance! You will also get closer to your friend Joe. It's a great chance for you to debate with Joe face to face over a few shots of horilka chasing it with salo (bacon). Take along Sir Walter with you. You know a tradition na troikh - form a threesome to drink a horilra bottle. Good Orthodox tradition, always Trinity, this will be Modern Holy Trinity. Don't forget to purchase oars and a sail. A good name for it would be Didomyk's Ark. Don't get mixed up with routes since you may end up somewhere in Georgia following the route of Golden Fleece (ოქროს საწმისი) and then your company will be diluted with Saakashvili. Anyway, it's a good chance for him to take his last retreat and he is looking for one. You know Golden Fleece disappears somewhere in Abkhazia. Beware of the that!
LKHK (still a cold war warrior)...
Remember, that Russia bully only those that falls for Hegemon's (from the West) lollypops only to make sure that they are not poisonous.
Could you provide your always authoritative assessment as to how many Russian state-owned cars and Spetznaz bodyguards are required to ensure personal safety of the Kremlin appointed Russian Gauleiter in Chechnia Tavarish Kadyriov ?
That must be a more elaborate protection than what people like Brehznev and Andropov used to have !
Take a good look right here but don't get scared:
kuzmich wrote: "the Crimea will separate from Ukraine eventually and become an island and start floating. I'm afraid in the future the Crimea will be used without definitive article."
Two points about your prediction, my friend:
a)"eventually" could be a very, very long time, like say 1000 years ! Can you help to speed it up ?
b) I have never been on a floating island, but assuming your concept is doable, don't you think the Yankees would hook it up to their largest aircraft carrier and pull it away as far as they could, like say somewhere around the centre of the Atlantic ocean ? That would end all your Russian dreams for good.
Maybe I should get our D.I.D.O. station chief (in Russian : rezident) in Washington, DC to speak to the Yankee strategists.
LKHK writes: "...because there's not much else Russia can export beyond raw materials nowadays." ----- One word - China.
Although, EU doesn't want Russia to focus specifically on China. That would accelerate China's growth, both military and economically, and EU doesn't want that. Besides, where else EU will be purchasing cheap supplies? Russia is a great and reliable source.
Georgia has wine, shashlik, fruits, but EU has that too. Here in the US I am not aware of ANY product from Georgia, even though Mr. Bush have had such a great relationship with Saakshvilli. For Georgia, Russia is the closest business partner and that's the reality.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing...cheese!
I recently moved to the Bay and looking to find some quality people to invest some time in and who knows along the way maybe find that someone to explore this city with. I am from the Midwest, down to earth, and like to think the best way to break the ice is to make a girl smile. I love cooking and trying new places to eat. I try to use my sense humor to bring light to every day, but also am a good listener when talking about deeper issues, I'm not afraid to open up myself but I am always interested in what a person has to say about what is going in their life and their opinion on current issues. I feel this is important in having good communication and conversation with any friendship let alone relationship. I am really an unselfish guy which I am trying to determine if it is a strength or a weakness? I guess i grew up always thinking about the other person before myself, just the way I was raised. I am a pretty positive outgoing guy who loves to encourage people to grow and explore new things and try to look at the bigger picture of what life is...take perspective and what happiness truly means. Well Ladies I would love to chat with you if you could spare a minute or two just to say hi and how you are doing. Cheers ! to finding some quality people.
Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Music and concerts , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, VolleyBall, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
My favorite hang out place is the beach where I can just enjoy nature at its finest. Although, moving to the Bay I am in search to find that new hot spot, I hear it might be through winery's or maybe the Redwoods.
Great Food, being active, learning something new, exploring new cities, cooking brings me peace, good music (Lately listening to a lot of jazz, but R/B, Alternative, does it for me too)
I am passionate about staying fit, eating well, playing sports, cooking, coaching youth, and just hanging out with quality friends and family.
The Power of Focus, a great book that encourages you to create positive habits in life. I recommend it to anyone.

OCALA - Vandals reportedly made mischief at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church after the Easter holiday, authorities reported.
The church is located at 10670 S.E. Maricamp Road.
Officials reported that vandals broke the church's Easter cross sometime after services were over Sunday. When maintenance staff arrived Tuesday, the cross was in pieces, according to a Marion County Sheriff's Office report.
The vandals also rearranged letters on the church sign to spell curse words.
Anyone with information about the incident can call the Sheriff's Office at 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 368-7867.

When we have to learn about a new computer we have to familiarize about the machine capability we are using, and we can do it by studying the internal hardware design (devices architecture), and also to know about the size, number and the size of the registers.
Engr.Naveed Akhtar ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS TESTER University College OF Engineering IUB Page 1 Engr.Naveed Akhtar A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO 8051 MICROCONTROLLER: When we have to learn about a new computer we have to familiarize about the machine capability we are using, and we can do it by studying the internal hardware design (devices architecture), and also to know about the size, number and the size of the registers. A microcontroller is a single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit. Also called a "computer on a chip," billions of microcontroller units (MCUs) are embedded each year in a myriad of products from toys to appliances to automobiles. For example, a single vehicle can use 70 or more microcontrollers. The following picture describes a general block diagram of microcontroller. AT89S52: The AT89S52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 8K bytes of in-system programmable Flash memory. The device is manufactured using Atmel's high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry-standard 80C51 instruction set and University College OF Engineering IUB Page 2 Engr.Naveed Akhtar pinout. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory pro-grammer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with in-system programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89S52 is a powerful microcontroller, which provides a highly flexible and cost-effective solution to many, embedded control applications. The AT89S52 provides the following standard features: 8K bytes of Flash, 256 bytes of RAM, 32 I/O lines, Watchdog timer, two data pointers, three 16-bit timer/counters, a six-vector two-level interrupt architecture, a full duplex serial port, on-chip oscillator, and clock circuitry. In addition, the AT89S52 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency and supports two software selectable power saving modes. The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port, and interrupt system to continue functioning. The Power-down mode saves the RAM con-tents but freezes the oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt University College OF Engineering IUB Page 3 Engr.Naveed Akhtar The hardware is driven by a set of program instructions, or software. Once familiar with hardware and software, the user can then apply the microcontroller to the problems easily. University College OF Engineering IUB Page 4 Engr.Naveed Akhtar The pin diagram of the 8051 shows all of the input/output pins unique to microcontrollers: The following are some of the capabilities of 8051 microcontroller. Internal ROM and RAM I/O ports with programmable pins Timers and counters Serial data communication The 8051 architecture consists of these specific features: 16 bit PC &data pointer (DPTR) University College OF Engineering IUB Page 5 Engr.Naveed Akhtar 8 bit program status word (PSW) 8 bit stack pointer (SP) Internal ROM 4k Internal RAM of 128 bytes. 4 register banks, each containing 8 registers 80 bits of general purpose data memory 32 input/output pins arranged as four 8 bit ports: P0- P3 Two 16 bit timer/counters: T0-T1 Two external and three internal interrupt sources Oscillator and clock circuits. PROCEDURE:- To be able to test electronic components accurately is essential to identifying faults for any electronic repairer. Top quality electronic testing equipment is therefore much sought after. If you are involved in electronic repairs, professionally or just as a hobby, you will know just how much time good equipment saves you. Normally, however, this type of equipment to test electronic components can be relatively expensive, especially for do it yourself enthusiasts and people thinking about starting a small or part-time business. What many people are unaware of is just how easy it is to make your own gear and multimeter to test electronic components to the standards of top of the range brands, but at a fraction of the cost. All you need is the necessary know-how. University College OF Engineering IUB Page 6 Engr.Naveed Akhtar There are some guides available to show beginners how to test electronic components and how to repair electronic devices and appliances. You should be looking for the following things when evaluating such a guide. Good electronic testshould include the following: First, check the author's credentials. Does he perform professional electronic repairs? Is he an electronics testing instructor? Do his instructions appear to be easy to follow and well laid out? Does he offer a guarantee if you are not fully satisfied with his manual? Does he identify being able to test electronic components with electronic repair? He should be aware that repairs are straightforward if you have the correct equipment to identify problems. And is his manual reasonably priced? Secondly, make sure any guide not only explains how to make your own testing equipment but also explains which equipment to use for particular jobs, how you actually employ that equipment, what to test for and in what sequence. It's all very well to have superior testing equipment to hand but if there University College OF Engineering IUB Page 7 Engr.Naveed Akhtar is no methodology to follow in testing, you will just be wasting your time. Without doubt, working out how to test electronic components can become quite complex. Much like wiring a house or office, without proper plans to work from, even the experts can become confused. If your systems of fault identification aren't clear and easy to follow, frustration and disaster lie ahead. So, make sure any guide includes easily comprehensible diagrams and descriptions. Ensure your guide does not just cover the basics. Part of the reason for making your own kit to test electronic components is to give yourself an advantage over other electronics testers. Most equipment that is declared unrepairable is, in fact, eminently repairable. Normally the tester simply has not been able to identify the problem; if he could identify the fault, it is not usually beyond repair. Ensure any manual also covers testing for faults and shorts using an analogue meter and how to make such a meter. It will prove to be invaluable in cases where a digital meter has its inherent shortcomings. So, to reiterate, superior testing equipment is essential, but no less important is having foolproof plans of testing to work through so the fault is not missed. The order of testing is important in the sense of saving time by testing for the most common faults first and so on. A good guide should also include a comprehensive troubleshooting section. University College OF Engineering IUB Page 8 Engr.Naveed Akhtar BLOCK DIAGRAM -: University College OF Engineering IUB Page 9 Engr.Naveed Akhtar CONCLUSION-: University College OF Engineering IUB Page 10 Engr.Naveed Akhtar While many digital multimeters these days have a specific capability for testing diodes and sometimes transistors, not all do, especially the older analogue multimeters that are still in widespread use. However it is still quite easy to perform a simple go / no-go test using the simplest of equipment. This form of testing is able to detect whether transistor or a diode is operational, and although it cannot provide details of the parameters, this is seldom a problem because these components will have been tested at manufacture and it is comparatively rare for the performance to fall to a point where they do not operate in a circuit. Most failures are catastrophic, rendering the component completely inoperable. These simple multimeter tests are able to detect these problems very quickly and easily.

as far as natural deodorant goes, all the ones i tried were lousy. so now i use baking soda and cornstarch and it works way way better! I rub a little coconut oil under my arms (not entirely necessary but it gives the powder something to stick to.) and, using a blush brush, i brush on a mix of equal parts cornstarch and baking soda from a jar that i keep in the bathroom. the baking soda makes you not stinky and the cornstarch keeps the baking soda from being all scratchy. you can put a few drops of essential oil in it to make it smell nice, too.
I have a hard time figuring out if homeopathic remedies are helping. I mean--I've seen some really work, the nat mur for DD's canker sores is rocking good, and ledum for DS's fire ant bites, but others I haven't been sure of. But even the nat mur--I think part of the underlying reason she kept getting canker sores was zinc deficiency. I've been working on that for years, and I didn't see a change in the canker sores, but when I added the nat mur acutely she got the canker sores plus the zinc she gets every day, well, the canker sores happened less and less frequently, and now it's been more than a year. But it's a combination approach, a concrete underlying issue, plus the homeopathic.
I don't know if I've described things very well. It took me changing the way I think, not just substituting in better products, but making lists of possible root causes for why these things (all our health issues) are happening to me, and not the lady next door, and then starting to try stuff. There's been trial-and-error mixed in, plenty of it.
Homeopathic remedies can be easily antidoted. For example, caffeine will disrupt the effect of the homeopathic remedy or even reverse the symptom. If you drink coffee,
i also think the use of herbalism, homeopathy, flower essences, aromatherapy et al are also depended on what else your doing. are you accidentally counteracting the therapies your using? how is your nutrition? environmental exposures? are you giving time to the complimentary medicine you are using?
My understanding is that it is the coffee, not the caffeine which is an issue for antidoting homeopathic remedies. Some practitioners do more frequent dosing or don't worry about coffee and mint. We are easily antidoted here and must remain very vigilant about it.
Yes, energy medicine has many ways it can be disrupted. We've had amazing benefits from homeopathy, flower essences, aromatheraphy, etc. Wouldn't have believed without seeing for myself, however. So, I understand if one's experience has been different. I just know dh no longer has asthma and allergies, nor medications for these since starting homeopathy about 5 years ago.
And I don't get antidoted by any quantity of mint, but coffee will knock any remedy right out of me. I am very sensitive to caffeine and even a little bit will instantly stop my remedy from working.
Dh takes his remedy with his coffee and has no problem. He has no issue with mint either.
Dd can't do mint or her remedy is toast, but she also has an allergy to mint so that's not suprising. Point being, It's very individual.
I highly recommend the book Prescription for Nutritional Healing.

Washington can move up or down
Mel Kiper offers his fifth-round projection and explains why trading for the 25th pick gives the Redskins room to maneuver.
First, the Redskins are built to win in 2005 and Campbell would not help them do that. Second, coach Joe Gibbs does not prefer young quarterbacks and even shelved current Washington starter Patrick Ramsey for a time last season, showing that he wants a quarterback who's been in the fire. Why give up a first-rounder in 2006 for a guy who's not going to help you win right now, especially when immediate results are what you're looking for and you already have a young passer like Ramsey who should be entering the prime of his career?
A more attractive option might be for Washington to trade down from No. 9 overall and recoup the second-round pick they gave up in the Chris Cooley deal last season, or perhaps even package the ninth and 25th selections to get closer to the top of the board and assure itself of getting the one player it covets.
That being said, I still think some other team will take Campbell off the board late in the first round. Whether that means the Packers select him as an heir apparent to Brett Favre or the Browns or Titans trade up for additional first-round picks is anyone's guess, but Campbell's combination of size, athleticism and accuracy will be enticing to plenty of teams. He is accurate to an extreme, meaning he not only gets the ball to a receiver's area but also places the ball in the right spot so receivers don't have to break stride.
On to some other draft notes and my updated fifth-round projection:

MIFFLINTOWN, PA Hillary Clinton spent a rainy Sunday afternoon in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the sort of small town that has recently been at the center of her race against Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination.
In a mirror of the Ohio primary, in which Obama took heat for the Goolsbee/NAFTA affair right before election day, Obama has spent the week before Tuesday's Pennsylvania vote explaining his comment that in "a lot of small towns in the Midwest," people are "bitter" and "cling to guns or religion." Clinton has sought to portray Obama as out-of-touch and to portray herself of the true champion of small town values. She entered Greater Johnstown Senior High School (home of the 2007 Laurel Highlands Section 2 softball champions) to the sounds of John Mellencamp's folk rock tune "This Is Our Country." And if that wasn't on-the-nose enough for the thousand or so attendees, she exited to Mellencamp's "Small Town."
But aside from some very subtle references (Clinton said she wanted to be the president of "every city, every town, every village"), the attack de jour was elsewhere.
Governor Ed Rendell, a stalwart Clinton supporter who spoke before the Senator, tipped off the crowd when he paraphrased this statement Senator Obama made earlier in the day:
"You have a real choice in this election. Either Democrat would be better than John McCain. And all three of us would be better than George Bush."
The critique was that Obama was willing to give an inch — the Democratic talking point of the campaign is that McCain is running for a third Bush term, and saying otherwise suggests that the speaker is either soft or naïve.
Clinton used the opportunity to hammer Obama and McCain both, saying:

The hysterical reaction in Congress to Jimmy Carter's trip to the Middle East, where he met with a Hamas leader today, is precisely the sort of thing I hope the new "pro-Israel, pro-peace" group J Street speaks out against. This week Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC) said she wants to revoke Carter's passport. And Rep. Joseph Knollenberg (R-MI) introduced the Coordinated American Response to Extreme Radicals Act (CARTER) Act to cut all federal funding to the Carter Center at Emory University. That's the organization that pours resources into humanitarian projects like eradicating the Guinea worm parasite in Africa and was lauded in Carter's 2002 Nobel Peace Prize citation.
New York Democratic representative Gary Ackerman came out against the CARTER Act, but, in the process, managed to be just as petty and juvenile as his Republican colleagues. As the New York Sun reported today:
"The man is entitled his idiotic, moronic, nonsensical, anti-commonsensical, foolish opinions. And all that being said, he is still entitled to have them. I don't think we should be cutting off funding for any ex presidents to do things. We didn't cut off Richard Nixon," he said. Mr. Ackerman added that if Mr. Carter came to his home for the Passover Seder, he would ask him to read the part of the simple son, the boy who does not know enough to even ask a question about the story of the Jewish exodus from ancient Egypt.
Shouldn't the Democratic leadership be bothered by this kind of rhetoric directed against a former president of their own party? More important, would Ackerman slap his offensive "simple son" label on Colin Powell or Brent Scowcroft or Zbigniew Brzezinski or Lee Hamilton or Shlomo Ben-Ami, all of whom have called for engagement with Hamas. And what about the 64 percent of actual Israelis who favor direct talks with Hamas?

What's that, kids? You want grandpa to tell you what a record store is? Well, imagine an iTunes you can actually walk around in. Neat, thanks Grandpa! Now bring Grampy his illegal Pall Malls. And, scene. Ahem. Few brick-and-mortar shops have suffered as much in the wake of the intertubes as have independent record stores: the NY Times reports over 3,000 have closed in the last five years, half of them independent. Tomorrow, in what can be viewed as either an innovative attempt to spark renewed interest in the neighborhood vinyl emporium or as a desperate plea for help, a consortium of music retailers will present Record Store Day, with all sorts of events to draw people in. Manhattan's Other Music will play host to "celebrity" DJs from bands like Grizzly Bear and Deerhunder, while closer to home, Metallica will perform at Rasputin's in Mountain View, and Jello Biafra will work the "help desk" at Amoeba in San Francisco. Plus, bands like R.E.M. and Vampire Weekend are selling vinyl singles available for one day only. Fun! But will it save the record store?
The national treasure that is Ernie Chambers is leaving the Nebraska unicameral state legislature after 38 years.
Capitol regulars cried in the halls and fellow state senators gushed with praise for Ernie Chambers' service as the self-proclaimed "defender of the downtrodden."
But the Omaha senator wasn't in any mood to reminisce on Thursday, his last day on the legislative floor he prowled for 38 years. He was a reluctant, mostly absent, observer of his own legislative funeral and mostly spent the day like he has thousands of others since first being elected in 1970 — working....
Chambers logged more years as a state senator than anyone in Nebraska history. And while term limits won't officially push the muscled 70-year-old and state's only black senator out of his cluttered Capitol office until the end of the year, he's done making, and mostly stopping, laws for the state.
"He has just been a stalwart in making sure people get justice and that justice is administered fairly," said Sen. DiAnna Schimek of Lincoln, one of the 14 other senators who won't return next year because of term limits.
"Nobody's paid in the lobby to speak out on behalf of people on death row, for black youth, for poor kids," said Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha. "Ultimately, the downtrodden will be defended by our conscience, and Ernie is a man of conscience, a man of determination."
A hellraiser in Mother Jones' own tradition, Chambers was able to inspire solemn reverence even in ever-snarky bloggers like this one. He'll be missed.

Welcome back to the "staff picks" shelf at The Riff.
1. Gary: Janet Jackson's new album, Discipline, dropped in February, so she's back in action. And it's good! I resisted the urge to include "When I think of You," one of the BEST songs from my junior high career, and instead went with a new track, "Rock With U," because it's saucy.
2. Gary: The combination of Faith No More's Mike Patton with the "math" rock/hardcore band Dillinger Escape Plan produced what I consider some of the most interesting and badass aggressive/metal/thrash/loud/angry music of the early 2000s. The band's chaos is precise, and nobody screams the way Mike Patton screams. Turn it up.
3. Kiera (on a Russian kick this week): "Id," Nogu Svelo! This band's name, I'm told, translates to something along the lines of "cramp in the leg!" They've been giving Russians cramps in their legs...from dancing...for 20 years. Like it? You're in luck! They have a new album coming out. Or at least that's what this Google translation of part of their website makes it sound like:
I hasten to inform joyous news: Musicians Nogu Svelo!...locked in the studio and prepare a surprise for all their fans!
4. Kiera: "Dvornik," Agata Kristi. Since you've always wished Depeche Mode would sing in Russian, I've decided to make your day. Masters of Russian indie pop Agata Kristi synth it up in this track. I won't lie: It's a little gothic, too.
Below, an open letter from more than 40 journalists lamenting the petty, nearly substance-free debate ABC hosted on Wednesday night in Philadelphia.
We the undersigned deplore the conduct of ABC's George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson at the Democratic presidential debate on April 16. The debate was a revolting descent into tabloid journalism and a gross disservice to Americans concerned about the great issues facing the nation and the world. This is not the first Democratic or Republican presidential debate to emphasize gotcha questions over real discussion. However, it is, so far, the worst.
For 53 minutes, we heard no question about public policy from either moderator. ABC seemed less interested in provoking serious discussion than in trying to generate cheap-shot sound bites for later rebroadcast. The questions asked by Mr. Stephanopoulos and Mr. Gibson were a disgrace, and the subsequent attempts to justify them by claiming that they reflect citizens' interest are an insult to the intelligence of those citizens and ABC's viewers. Many thousands of those viewers have already written to ABC to express their outrage.
The truly funny and risky political ad is a rare beast. This one, from Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, is about as close as they come. Wyden is trying to promote the "portability" of his universal health care plan (they're not just for presidential candidates!), which in human-speak means the ability to keep your health care coverage when you switch jobs, go back to school, or start your own business.

Just last week, following the testimony of General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker on Capitol Hill, President Bush held a White House press conference at which he remained as optimistic as ever about U.S. prospects in Iraq. From the official White House transcript:
The immediate goal of the surge was to bring down the sectarian violence that threatened to overwhelm the government in Baghdad, restore basic security to Iraqi communities, and drive the terrorists out of their safe havens. As General Petraeus told Congress, American and Iraqi forces have made significant progress in all these areas. While there is more to be done, sectarian violence is down dramatically. Civilian deaths and military deaths are also down. Many neighborhoods once controlled by al Qaeda have been liberated. And cooperation from Iraqis is stronger than ever—more tips from residents, more Iraqis joining their security forces, and a growing movement against al Qaeda called the "Sons of Iraq."
Improvements in security have helped clear the way for political and economic developments described by Ambassador Crocker. These gains receive less media coverage, but they are vital to Iraq's future. At the local level, businesses are re-opening and provincial councils are meeting. At the national level, there's much work ahead, but the Iraqi government has passed a budget and three major "benchmark" laws. The national government is sharing oil revenues with the provinces. And many economic indicators in Iraq—from oil production to inflation—are now pointed in the right direction.
This is the sort of presidential spin to which we've grown accustomed. And, yes, Iraq's security situation has improved of late, notwithstanding the recent battles in Baghdad and Basra and a renewed series of Al Qaeda bombings. But as rosy a picture as President Bush would like to paint, a growing number of strategic thinkers in the Pentagon are reaching far different conclusions. Among them is Joseph J. Collins, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for stability operations, currently a professor of national security strategy at the National War College. Collins is the author of a study (.pdf) released yesterday by the National Institute for Strategic Studies (and first reported by McClatchy), which, in direct contradiction of the President's recent remarks, calls the Iraq War as a "major debacle" and describes its outcome as "in doubt."
More after the jump...
If you haven't already, please read this NYT article about how spiking food prices is leading to hunger and civil unrest across the globe. Here's a snippet.
Saint Louis Meriska's children ate two spoonfuls of rice apiece as their only meal recently and then went without any food the following day. His eyes downcast, his own stomach empty, the unemployed father said forlornly, "They look at me and say, 'Papa, I'm hungry,' and I have to look away. It's humiliating and it makes you angry."
That anger is palpable across the globe. The food crisis is not only being felt among the poor but is also eroding the gains of the working and middle classes, sowing volatile levels of discontent and putting new pressures on fragile governments.
In Cairo, the military is being put to work baking bread as rising food prices threaten to become the spark that ignites wider anger at a repressive government. In Burkina Faso and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, food riots are breaking out as never before. In reasonably prosperous Malaysia, the ruling coalition was nearly ousted by voters who cited food and fuel price increases as their main concerns.
And here are a couple takes on what is fueling the problem.
—By Jen Quraishi
Jurors from the first trial of the Miami-area men accused of plotting to blow up the Sears tower probably weren't surprised to hear that the evidence has now produced a second hung jury. A juror from the first trial, librarian Delorise Thompkins, said, "When you see the evidence, there's not a lot thereno plans, no papers, no pictures, no nothing connecting them to Osama bin Laden."
As we've written before, the defendants had no explosives and no concrete plans. What they did have was a well-paid government informant posing who coaxed them into doing surveillance on federal buildings...and gave them the equipment to do it. The men were then arrested for providing "material support" to a terrorist group, even though they had never made contact with a real terrorist and the idea of blowing up buildings originated from the informant himself.
The tenuous connection between the men and al Qaeda led to one of the defendants being acquitted in the first trial.

Help with dying(?) Oleander
Hi all. I recently posted about a shrub that I couldnt recall the name of. It is an oleander shrub, which I also found out is not supposed to be hardy to my zone.
I thought it was dead, but I did the scratch test, and it's still green beneath. Now I have two problems. First of all, it appears to be dead. What should I do with it? SHould i cut it back, remove the dead leaves? I don't know. I'm thinking that I should test from the top with scratches, and cut off anything above what shows green beneath. Sound right?
And then, we had a mild winter, it could be just plain dumb luck that the bush survived at all. I am thinking, since I do like the plant, you know, when it's not dead and brown, I'm thinking of potting it, and bringing it in over winters from here on out. I think that should be alright, since I don't think they get more than maybe 8 feet tall. I could be wrong about that. Seems the ones I remember from Florida were never very tall. But they bloom alot all season, and I do get plenty of sun in my dining room for it.
But I'm not sure. It's hard to find information on roots, and I'm worried that potted may not be a good idea for it's roots. They are essentially I think small trees. Indeed I'm not even sure which they qualify as, small trees or bushes.
Any advice? Anyone know anything about oleanders?
Unless advised otherwise, I think I will go ahead and cut it back and pot it. Oh that too, I was worried about. Do you think it would hurt it to be dug up at this time? Or should I cut it back and leave it there to give it time to recover from the winter first?
Thanks much!
Thank you bboy. As it happens, I have since learned that oleanders can have very destructive roots, though apparently they can do well even north of me. Nonetheless, as it was planted right next to my pool, (thank God not at the end with the pump lines), and apparently will go searching for water, I cut her back and dug her up and potted her immediately.
That might have been overreacting. Oleander is very common in southern and central florida. I couldn't believe it when I saw it for sale in the walmart garden center the other day along with live oak and other florida-esque plants. Maybe the truck got lost and delivered to the wrong store. I can't imagine oleander tolerating z7 winter.
"Wait longer to see if it grows back" I think I would do just that. Normally Common Oleander [Nerium] can be easily
transplanted during spring through summer. My potted specimens sometimes do lose all of their leaves during the winter months.
Just for experiment maybe you should leave one alone and heavily mulch at the base of the plant during the winter months
to see if it really will survive in your climate zone.
Hope this helps some.
Well actually, I found another very long thread concerning oleanders, it was a very old thread, so I didn't want to revive it, but there there were people saying they grew them in n. or s. carolina, which really surprised me. Anyway, my husband isn't really....into... my gardening, so I know he will not be sympathetic if the oleander were to strangle any lines, bust through our pool wall, screw up our septic system etc etc. Apparently alot of people have had bad problems with the roots of these. I understand if you keep them well watered you have no worries, but I just don't wanna be worrying about it, you know? And I do imagine this will look very nice potted and on my back deck.
But I wanted to ask you, about winters, and the leaves falling off of your's. Did you keep it in house or in a basement or such? I guess they don't need any cold winters, since they're hot weather shrubs. Oh! Okay, nevermind, you're zone 8/9! LOL.
Well they come back nicely every spring I guess, correct?
Yes I am in Arizona which now allows me to brag about the nice weather we are having up until June and it's H-ll from
there. Lol.
So far I have not had any problems with it not springing back once the weather warms up. I kept mine in a small Bonsai
container and just the plant and nature. It only loses it's leaves if our winter happens to be some what colder than normal
or I just plain forget to water it. I blame that on attitude performance which is husband's fault since he didn't remind me
when he should. ;-]
I live in Toronto. I brought my potted Oleander in for the winter and am keeping it in a cool corner with a little light. I water it about once a week. The leaves have dried but pretty stayed on the plant all winter. I thought it was dormant for the winter but now it's spring and there is no sign of life. Is my plant dead? All opinions will be welcome.
I live in Oklahoma and also found some beautiful Oleanders at the local Wal Mart garden center. They are beautiful but don't know if they can survive our harsh winters. I didn't know anything about it when I brought it home and planted it. I found some helpful information and posted the link for you.
Here is a link that might be useful: Found on a Google Search
