Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has been taking great advantage of all the publicity surrounding her husband's incarceration.
Initially, Parks shared her story exclusively with Ellen DeGeneres (CLICK HERE if you missed that), but as the premiere date for RHOA season 7 approaches, she's opening up more about the situation.
In a newly released interview with Access Hollywood Live, Phaedra opens up (again) about her incarcerated husband, whom she is RUMORED to have filed divorce from.
Phaedra explains to host Billy Bush, that she prefers to keep her relationship issues private, stating:
Although I live my life in public, I don't obviously live everything in the public.
This is not due to just him being incarcerated, it's a culmination of things. We are better and healthier individuals now that we are apart.
[Sidebar: I find it kinda odd that Phaedra says she wants to keep her relationship issues private, but then does media like Ellen and Access Hollywood. But I digress.]
Parks also sticks up for Porsha Williams (stating she feels Porsha was bullied during the reunion by Kenya Moore), and discusses the alleged affair with 'Mr. Chocolate.'

The new version addresses an issue that prevented Deliver Express from sending email via certain SMTP servers.

Being used by such major ad agencies as BBDO, MacLaren McCann and Innocean, Deliver Express is ideal for companies and users that constantly send files to specific destinations. The software can benefit publishers, photographers, audio/video studios, printers, educational institutions and other users. Deliver Express offers the following key features:
-Drop files to watched hot folders for automatic delivery

-Automatic variable e-mail notifications
-Recipients download file from a link in the email message

-Serve multiple users on a network

This past weekend, Allison and I attended the Arthritis Conference in St. Louis. The conference was a rousing success with over 1000 attendees, most of whom were families with children. At the conference, Allison and I gave a seminar on how to exist in a relationship when one of the partners is chronically ill. I'm not sure how well the seminar went off (the attendees were younger than we expected, so some of the material may have been a bit too mature), but we did manage to have some fun and get a few laughs from our audience. Now that we are back home, thinking about all the sessions held at the conference, I was proud to see how far we have come since I was diagnosed with J.R.A. back in 1986.
When I first got sick the doctors had no clue where to begin. Because of this, I was tested for everything under the sun from long bone cancer to influenza to Lyme disease. It took almost two years for the diagnosis of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis to even be suggested, and another six months for the diagnosis to be confirmed. I use the term "confirmed" lightly as I have never tested positive for a rheumatoid factor, and have always presented atypically when it comes to symptoms. Be that as it may, those first two years were valuable days in which I could have been treated correctly. This would have increased the chance of avoiding the joint damage from which I suffer today.
Children today are diagnosed with arthritis within days or weeks, and treatment begins immediately. In addition there are now several different classifications of juvenile arthritis, and J.R.A. (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) does not even exist any longer as a diagnosis. Now, the illness is called Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (J.I.A.), or Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (J.C.A.), and it encompasses a number of illnesses, most of which are rheumatoid-factor negative. Interestingly, one thing that has not changed is that the diagnosis is still a diagnosis of exclusion, i.e., doctors eliminate everything else that could be wrong and by process of elimination end up on juvenile arthritis.
In 1988, there were very few drugs available for JRA. These treatments were almost all drugs that were classified as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are basically high-powered aspirin, and at one point I was even taking daily doses of aspirin. When these NSAIDs failed to keep my disease under control, I was moved up to the next level of treatment available at that time. Doctors assured us that this "high-powered" treatment would be the miracle cure we were looking for. The medicine was given by injection every few weeks, and it was called Gold. Not the metal that you wear on your finger, "gold salts" were more similar to the chemicals used for gold plating. Supposed to slow the inflammation and progression of the disease, this treatment did not work either, unfortunately, and only one treatment was left to me at the time – Prednisone. Any of you who follow my column know how much damage Prednisone has done to my body over the last 20 years. In fact, I will be going in for my fourth joint replacement on October 1.
Not only has the form of treatment of juvenile arthritis completely changed, but the method of treatment has changed also. Instead of slowly ramping up the power of the drugs administered and figuring out what works by trial and error, doctors now immediately begin with very powerful meds. This is done in order to knock the disease on its ass as soon as possible, for lack of a better phrase, which helps to limit the damage the disease does to the body. In addition, there is an entirely new class of drugs available now that was not even in the research and development stage when I first got sick. Disease modifiers, or bio-drugs, are biological agents that bond with different molecules in the body in order to block the receptors that arthritis uses to attack the patient's own body. Ten years ago there was one or two of these disease modifiers available, now, by my off-the-cuff count, there are more than ten different types. Because children today have access to these miracles of modern science, there is a significantly reduced chance that newly diagnosed patients will ever have to go through the horror of multiple joint replacements like I have had to. Believe it or not, though, instead of feeling resentment, it truly warmed my heart to see young kids at the conference who were responding well to their bio-drug treatments. It means that the work that people like Allison and I are doing is not in vain, and that the auto-immune disease community is moving in the right direction as a whole.
While the above advances are truly impressive, all of this would not be possible without the exchange of information. When I was first diagnosed, the web did not exist, so there only road available for research was the local public library. I remember my mother going once a week to exchange one book about arthritis for another. When we exhausted the local library's contingent of auto-immune themed-titles, we had to wait for the library to order a book from another library, which sometimes took weeks. This is a far cry from pulling up a Google search page and typing in "rheumatoid arthritis," which as of now, results in about 17 million hits. I can only imagine what my mother would have been able to do with the Internet at her disposal.
In addition, my mother had to discover how to deal with the social issue of having a chronically ill child. How to interact with teachers, other parents, and doctors was all discovered via trial and error. Sometimes we interacted correctly, and sometimes we burned a bridge. I can remember my mother fighting with many a gym teacher while attempting to impart to them just how serious a disease my J.R.A. was. One gym teacher even told her "I think his [talking about me] problem is too much mother." Neanderthal. Today, though, with conferences like the one we attended last weekend, these trial-and-error methods are a thing of the past. One of the seminars was even called "Teaching the teachers: Talking to your child's school administrators about the disease."
So, as you can see, we have come a very long way in just a short twenty years. It warmed my heart to see families there with multiple children who not only understood their brother or sister's illness, but actually wanted to learn more about how to treat their sibling with compassion and care. Although arthritis is not a "sexy" disease with a big star behind it, it is sure nice to see that despite our handicap of not being popular, we are still moving forward. This is mainly due to the dedication of parents just like my mother who get up each and every day and make sure their child's life is better than the day before. Thank you to everyone in our community who has helped this to come to pass, and keep up the great work!

Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant.
Two players who have revolutionized the game as we know it today. There have been great players throughout the NBA's history but some might say that none of those compare to guys like Bryant and Wade.
For those of us that enjoyed the NBA during the Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Isaiah Thomas days, we'd argue with the fans of this generation that the game was never as great as it was during those days.
Whatever the opinion, Bryant and Wade are arguably two of the best players in today's game but both will be dealing with injuries as the 2010 season opens.
Wade could make his return to the court during the preseason but Bryant could miss at least the first couple of games during the regular season.
Here are 10 reasons why having neither guy on the court for their respective teams is going to hurt them.

In an academic NSOC side-project, Paul Kendall traces the development of Chinese rock music, and the gradual shift from rock with Chinese characteristics to an international sound.
(English – 英语)
I've chosen to start this show, for very personal reasons, with a band named Second Hand Rose. Simply put, my experience of their live show in early 2002 marked my first real appreciation of Chinese rock, an appreciation which would shape the next few years of my life. Up to that point, I had been building an impression of Chinese rock as a poor imitation of its older Western brothers, yet Second Hand Rose forced a complete revision of this view. The singer was dressed and made-up as a woman, just as I had seen in Farewell My Concubine, and singing in a style that I could identify as unmistakably Chinese. He was accompanied by not only guitars and drums, but also by some exotic-looking instruments which I'd never seen before, but which I knew I liked the sound of. Second Hand Rose led me to search for further bands with Chinese characteristics, examples of which can be heard in the first half of this program. However, as time progressed, I became disillusioned with Chinese rock, as new bands adopted an increasingly global, non-localised sound. This program will attempt to trace the development of Chinese characteristics in the Beijing rock scene over the last three decades, and also explain how we have reached today's situation, where the demands of Westerners for "local authenticity" leaves Chinese bands both angry and confused.
Cui Jian – Fake Monk
Released in the late 1980s, this track by Cui Jian is a typical example of the early era of Chinese rock, and its incorporation of Chinese characteristics. Localisation of sound is provided by instrumentation, with introduction dominated by the zheng, a Chinese zither, before giving way to a vocal melody in the Chinese pentatonic scale. Despite these local features, this song is quite clearly constructed around a typical Western rock framework. Moreover, this fusion of Western genre with Chinese characteristics is unremarkable, and even to be expected, in the context of 20th century Chinese music, with earlier hybrid examples including the yellow music of Li Jinhui (Jones 2001), and Xian Xinghai's "River Cantata" (Kraus 1989: 57)
He Yong – Drum and Bell Towers
This track by He Yong is another example of the use of Chinese instruments in rock music, this time with the inclusion of the sanxian, a three-stringed plucked lute. Indeed, the use of instrumentation to add local flavour was by far the most popular method among early bands. This is not altogether unsurprising, since a number of rock musicians had studied Chinese instruments before dropping out of the local conservatory system. For example, Andreas Steen informs us that Cui Jian, best known for his trumpet and guitar playing, is also able to play the suona, or shawm (1998: 156).
In the case of He Yong's song, the sanxian player is actually his father. This track also uses lyrics to provide a localised, Chinese context; the first line tells us that He Yong's family home can be found within Beijing's second ring road, while the title "Drum and Bell Towers" reinforces the story's location in the heart of Beijing, with its distinctive old-town culture. This use of lyrics to add Chinese characteristics is taken even further by the soft metal band Again, whose "On the Way to Wartime Yangzhou" uses a Song poem by Xin Qiji (Jones 1994: 159).
Again – On the Way to Wartime Yangzhou
Again's use of Song poetry and pipa, a four-stringed plucked lute, highlights the preference of early Chinese rockers for invoking images of ancient, rather than modern, China. This might seem strange considering their oft-stated opposition to feudalism and traditional Chinese culture. However, there are good reasons for this contradiction, with ancient Chinese characteristics needed so that rock musicians might maintain their credibility. De Kloet writes that Beijing rockers run the constant risk of being labelled copycats if they sound too Western (2005a: 230) – consequently, the authenticating tactic which he describes as the "invocation of ancient China" is the most obvious response to this danger (Ibid: 237). This policy has been taken to the extreme by the next band Tang Dynasty, whose first album not only featured opera-style falsetto and Song dynasty poetry, but whose entire image is informed by a romanticised interpretation of China's past.
Tang Dynasty – Moondream
The efforts of early rock bands to sound Chinese were also influenced by nationalist feelings, or what Andrew Jones refers to as "nativist sentiment" (1994: 159). In his essay on the post-1989 politics of popular music, Jones provides ample evidence of the self-conscious approach taken by rock musicians, as they attempt to create something Chinese out of a foreign form. Interviews conducted in 1992 provide illuminating quotes from early rock stars, who state the pressing need to make music based on Chinese life, and even profess hatred towards Western culture for its pernicious influence on modern China (Ibid). Amusingly, the most vocal of these interviewees, Tang Dynasty, have been praised as examples of assertive nationalism by none other than the Chief of the Beijing Bureau of Security (Huang 2001: 8).
Audience response also appeared to be validating such nationalistic reasoning. For example, the best-selling rock release in 1993 was a track by Ai Jing, called "My 1997", which sold 50,000 copies on the mainland in its first month of release (Jones 1994: 161). This song cleverly interweaves US-style AOR with interludes of sanxian and stereotypically Chinese vocals, while expressing the singer's wish that the Hong Kong handover might come quickly, so that she could visit her Hong Kong boyfriend.
Ai Jing – My 1997
Yet by the time 1997 did actually come around, Chinese rock had taken on a more complicated, multi-faceted appearance, with one of many new sub-genres heard on the next track by Sober.
Sober – Alright!
Apart from the use of Chinese lyrics, a person could be forgiven for thinking that Sober hail from London or Liverpool, rather than Beijing. Their music and image is reminiscent of the Beatles and their 1990s imitators, with deliberately lazy vocalisation, simple guitar lines, note bends, quirky music videos and urbane lyrics. Nor have the band hidden their influences, freely describing their sound as Britpop (de Kloet 2005b: 619). Moreover, Sober's impact has been magnified beyond usual proportions by their lead singer, Shen Lihui, who not only runs Modern Sky, Beijing's main independent record label, but who is also extremely outspoken. He has dubbed Cui Jian "an irresponsible shouter [who is] still recovering from the complaints of his childhood", and sees the late-1990s rock era as being more global in outlook than older, local bands like Tang Dynasty (Steen 2000: 55). In return, Cui Jian has condemned this second generation of rock musicians as "charlatans without culture" (de Kloet 2005b: 619). In fact, neither judgement is quite right, or at least not if the next extract is any guide.
Confucius Says – Ciqi
We just heard the track Ciqi, Beijing slang for "friend", from Confucius Says, members of Shen Lihui's supposedly global generation of rock musicians. In fact, the track title and band name alone emphasise local characteristics, while the lyrics begin with a famous poem found in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Yet whereas earlier bands would have venerated the old, and left things at that, there is a definite air of mockery detectable in the vocal delivery of Qiu Ye, lead singer of Confucius Says. Using an affected intellectual tone, he sings the ancient verse:
"They were boiling beans on a beanstalk fire; Came a plaintive voice from the pot,
O why, since we sprang from the selfsame root, Should you kill me with anger hot?" Then following this, the music shifts forward a gear, and Qiu Ye spits out his update of the poem's concept of fraternal ties: "Grab a clod of earth, roll it into a ball, you spit on it, and I'll add two tears. Mix it to mud, and there you go!" Similar irreverence can be heard on a second clip, which seems to poke fun at the whole idea of using Chinese characteristics in rock, interspersing a heavily rhythmic section with a fine piece of chinoiserie on lead guitar.
Confucius Says – Dream
As we can hear, Confucius Says neither fit into Cui Jian's rant about "charlatans without culture", nor do they comply with the global vision of Sober and Shen Lihui, described by de Kloet as a "refusal of Sinification" (2005b: 620). Instead, they are characteristic of the second stage of Beijing rock, beginning around 1997, with what is often described as the "Beijing New Sound Movement", and continuing into the early 2000s with bands such as Second Hand Rose, who opened the programme. These innovators feel no particular urge to borrow from traditional Chinese culture, but those who do often deliberately distort meaning, in accordance with an underground, anti-commercial aesthetic. (0:30)
The American academic Hao Huang writes that early rock musicians found their sources restricted mainly to the music collections of visiting foreign students (2003: 187). Given a relative lack of Western pop knowledge, it is perhaps no wonder that these rock bands instead looked to Chinese culture for inspiration. In contrast, members of the Beijing New Sound Movement had access to a huge black market of cassettes and CDs, which came into existence during the early 1990s (Groenewegen 2005: 52). This resulted in music of far greater diversity; bands no longer had to rely on Chinese elements to avoid sounding derivative, since they were now borrowing from a far wider variety of sources. Meanwhile, bands such as NO were busy subverting traditional culture, as evidenced by their leader Zuoxiao Zuzhou, in his description of the cover for their first album.
"For the first release of this album, the Missing Master, I used on the cover a Tang Dynasty painting of a handmaiden leading a dog, with me as the dog. I hoped that old people would buy my album, since my head imposed on the dog's body is very small, so that they might take my album home thinking it to be Chinese folk music or opera, yet upon listening, after the intro – 'deng deng deng deng deng' – the screaming starts, scaring them out of their minds. I was playing something of a practical joke. I noticed later that the shops really did place my record in the folk and opera section, since no-one knew my name then, and they didn't know about Chinese rock music. Because of this incorrect placement, it would be very easy for an old gentleman to do himself a mischief when he got my album home, especially since the beginning section uses a picked violin – they might think it was a sanxian, although it's actually a violin, and think it was Chinese pingtan storytelling or something similar, with 'deng deng deng deng deng', before the "aaaaah" screaming starts."
NO – Missing Master Plainly, there is little reverence here for traditional Chinese culture. Whereas Again would proudly claim in interviews that they were the very first band to use a Song poem in their music, Zuoxiao Zuzhou and his band seemed more concerned with being the first to make a Chinese instrument sonically unrecognisable.
"I'm from a county town and grew up listening to Chinese opera. Before I was twenty I never had the chance to listen to heavy metal. But I naturally came to like that genre."
"The sanxian you just mentioned, the way it's played is not the way Chinese usually play it, you understand. This is kind of my subversion of Chinese instruments – it's not Chinese music, Chinese traditional music, traditionalists would really hate me using a Chinese instrument in this way, they would consider that I'm ruining their instrument."
"The sanxian can be heard in the second interlude – 'da da di da….' – playing alongside the guitar solo. During my early period of making music I was always altering the essential sounds of instruments. The proper way of playing this instrument is completely different from how it is played here."
NO – Religion
While early Beijing rock self-consciously incorporated traditional Chinese culture, and the mid-era bands took delight in distorting this same source, the trend of younger bands, as members of the so-called "post-80s" generation, has been the complete de-localisation of sound. Accordingly, over the last part of the show, I wish to play some clips from the most popular bands of the last few years. These bands share a number of common characteristics. Far from using Chinese instruments, they don't even use Chinese lyrics, with use of English even extending to band and track names, which are sometimes then translated back into Chinese for the benefit of their domestic audience. Album sleeves and lyrical content have also been successfully stripped of traditional Chinese context. A good example is the song "Chorus" by Car Sick Cars, which takes the earlier prototype of Sober and Shen Lihui to its logical conclusion.
Car Sick Cars – Chorus (Rock'n'Roll Hero)
The switch from local to global in non-Anglo-American pop scenes has been noted by a number of writers, including Stephen Epstein in reference to Korean punks (2006: 2000-203), and Tony Mitchell in his examination of rock music in the Czech Republic (1996: 127). In the latter case, this switch occurred upon emergence from communism, alongside a massive increase in the availability of Western popular music. Similarly, there has been a second shift in the supply of rock music to Beijing, with the second generation's illegal cassette and CD imports replaced by MP3 downloads, which are equally illegal, but also cheaper and far more obtainable. The result is a rock sound which is not only less Chinese to the Western ear, but which is also extremely up-to-date, with Car Sick Cars, and the next band, Re-TROS, closely following their Western colleagues' recent preference for post-punk revivalism.
Re-TROS – Death Bed Song
Hand-in-hand with a global sound is the expectation of global success. Many of the new Beijing bands are actively trying to break the international market, with Car Sick Cars having played in Europe alongside Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Junior, while Re-TROS have played gigs and released their first EP in North America. Unfortunately, international press coverage remains sparse, and the reaction of foreign listeners such as myself has quite often been dismissive, ironically on the grounds that these bands are too global and lack Chinese characteristics. To illustrate, an American acquaintance of mine conducted a test, whereby he sent MP3s of the last band, Re-TROS, to various friends, keeping the musicians' nationality a secret from some and revealing it to others. The response was very positive from those listeners who were not informed of Re-TROS's nationality, while those who were made aware of their Chinese origins rejected the music, with the typical comment that it sounded too Westernised. I talked to Michael Pettis about this perception of these new bands, who congregate and perform at his Beijing bar, D22, as well as appearing on his record label, Maybe Mars.
Michael Pettis 1
"About a week before the Olympics I was approached by a Swedish television producer who was doing a programme on the Chinese cultural scene, and he had gone to see a few bands. And he asked me, 'Isn't it a problem that all these Chinese bands sound Western, they don't sound at all Chinese'. I found that question and the assumptions behind that question really frustrating because it's not that they sounded Western, it's that they were playing a type of music that is widely listened to internationally, that's become the vocabulary and the music of urban, middle-class, educated young people, whether in China, or in Peru or in Sweden. He would have never asked that question of Swedish bands. And yet the music that Swedish bands play is either international and truly global urban music, or, if you want to define it very narrowly, it's American music that comes from Chicago and the south-west. But Swedish musicians playing this kind of music was acceptable in a way that Chinese musicians playing it wasn't."
Snapline – S2 Voice 14 (28:18)
That was Snapline, a band on Maybe Mars, the record label of Michael Pettis, who we heard railing against the injustice of Chinese bands being criticised for sounding too Western. I have come to agree that it is unfair to expect musicians to experiment with Peking opera and Chinese zithers when they have grown up listening to Sonic Youth and Arcade Fire. Indeed, the current plight of Chinese rock musicians is not altogether dissimilar to that of the Asian Underground in 1990s Britain, when second- and third-generation British Asians were expected to produce traditional Indian sounds. Alternatively, consider Deborah Wong's case of the Mountain Brothers, a Chinese American hip hop group, whose press kit for non-Asian American listeners carefully conceals evidence of ethnicity, thus allowing them to pass as authentic African American rappers and gain a fair initial appraisal (2004: 251-252). For the new bands of Beijing, their predicament is even more extreme, as they compete with Western expectations of an oriental Beijing, expectations which are far removed from their own perceptions of living in an international city and participating within a global rock community. While the earlier rock bands lacked the ambition and technological resources to succeed in the West, the new bands have the right contacts and the right equipment, but also the wrong sound and the wrong image. In the case of rock music from the non-Western world, it seems that global success can only be obtained through the stress of local characteristics, regardless of whether these markers are actually reflective of local reality.

Christening by Canning
Janice Rowan of the Penn State Extension office called this one 100 percent. The weather over the weekend was perfect for canning -- cool and dry. So I washed, blanched, peeled, cored and canned a bushel of Roma tomatoes, christening my new white granite composite sink with a red mess only to hear my daughter ask, "Why don't you just buy tomatoes at the store?"
Good question and one that Rowan says many can't answer. Smaller families and more availability of really good canned goods, such as San Marzano tomatoes, mean fewer people are canning today.
My explanation to my daughter involved an economics trip through Wegmans, where Pennsylvania canned tomatoes were selling for $7 or $8 for a quart jar. It was a prettier jar than what I was working with, but it got the point across. My bushel of tomatoes was $18 from Mason Farms. I canned 24 quarts of tomatoes from that bushel, or less than $1 per jar. Certainly my labor amounted to something, but it was time spent in the kitchen with her (OK, I was doing all the work) on a gloomy Saturday.
The cost of that is priceless.
One jar didn't seal, so my choice was to use it or redo the water bath. I used it to make an olive, caper sauce for red snapper, which I did buy at Wegmans. You could use fresh tomatoes, especially at this time of year, but that's what I had on hand. The sauce was fabulous on the fish, but would also do well with grilled chicken breasts or tossed with pasta.
As my kitchen remodel continues -- painting and tiling will be going on over the next 10 days -- I'll be relying more on cooking outside, so that's what to expect for next week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tis from Great day out Plenty to see and do with lots of variety in the main arena. Love the sheep show; has me in fits of laughter every time. Excellent day out at a fraction of the cost of the county shows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by caspar from Excellent family entertainment Good value for money. We especially enjoyed the wingwalking, events in the ring and the archery. There is so much to see and do you need to go both days!

Tax Morale, Trust and Corruption: Empirical Evidence from Transition Countries
This paper analyses tax morale in transition countries. Tax morale has been used as dependent variable working with World Values Survey and European Values data for different years (1990-2000). The results suggest that trust, measured as trust in the legal system, the government, the parliament and the national officers has a strong impact on tax morale. Furthermore, a higher degree of satisfaction with the political system leads to a higher tax morale. Furthermore, the paper investigates the correlation between corruption and tax morale. The bivariate as well as the multivariate analysis show that in transition countries a higher corruption leads to a lower tax morale.

The Saint Francis Academy Middle School Aquaponics Greenhouse!
Take a moment to watch a time lapse of construction on the Aquaponics Greenhouse!
"In January the students of St. Francis Academy split into several groups with the task of designing an aquaponics greenhouse. In this assignment the students were asked to compile the information needed to build a greenhouse. This included measuring the walls outside, doing some trigonometry to figure out what the angle of the roof needed to be, create cost estimates, site maps, and models. After three weeks of working on this project the students had to present their work to the community. The final plan was created from the best parts of the various presentations."

In this year of tea parties and resurgent Republicans, could anger be the answer for Democrats leery of losing big in November?
Gov. Rendell may have found out yesterday when he said that "the wacko wing" is taking over the Republican Party.
Rendell was warming up a crowd of about 150 people - mostly University of Pennsylvania students, along with some older union members - for Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine. The crowd at Penn responded with rote applause as Rendell and Kaine detailed President Obama's legislative record and efforts to fix the ailing economy.
But the biggest response came when Rendell lashed out at conservatives who question whether Obama was born in this country, claim that the laid-off prefer unemployment checks to new jobs and want to strike from the 14th Amendment to the Constitution the language granting citizenship to anyone born in the U.S.

Sidewalk Diamonds: Not 'Til I'm Safe Again
Western Australia band – Sidewalk Diamonds – have just released their new single "Not 'Til I'm Safe Again" – the first song in a four-part collection due to be completed sometime this year. Apparently each release will be available as a free download, alongside a limited-edition hand numbered postcard with original artwork by singer/songwriter Damien Goerke.
The new single follows on the hard work and live dates which have refined the band's sound since releasing their debut EP "Every Season Inside" in 2012. The single is also accompanied by a video filmed in the suburbs of their hometown of Perth, which they've referred to as the most isolated city in the world. We love this standout new single and video, and hope you are able to drop in and bookmark at least one of the social sites below after checking out the media goodness.

ERCOT Says Keeping Power on "Will Be Tight" Between 4 and 5 P.M. Every Day This Week
You knew it was coming, and here it is: The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has issued yet another energy conservation heads-up. Read the whole thing here, but pay attention to this quote from Kent Saathoff, vice president of system planning and operations:
"We expect to break our all-time peak electricity demand Tuesday and Thursday, depending on weather conditions. ... At this time, we have sufficient generation to meet the demand this week, but it will be tight over the peak hours, particularly 4-5 p.m., which means that significant generation outages could make us short of operating reserves."
We did our part: Unfair Park HQ's AC unit shut down for a good half hour earlier this afternoon. And while they claim it's back on ...
