Seasonal modification of the association between temperature and adult emergency department visits for asthma: a case-crossover study
- Jessie P Buckley,
- David B Richardson
- … show all 2 hide
The objective of this study is to characterize the effect of temperature on emergency department visits for asthma and modification of this association by season. This association is of interest in its own right, and also important to understand because temperature may be an important confounder in analyses of associations between other environmental exposures and asthma. For example, the case-crossover study design is commonly used to investigate associations between air pollution and respiratory outcomes, such as asthma. This approach controls for confounding by month and season by design, and permits adjustment for potential confounding by temperature through regression modeling. However, such models may fail to adequately control for confounding if temperature effects are seasonal, since case-crossover analyses rarely account for interactions between matching factors (such as calendar month) and temperature.
We conducted a case-crossover study to determine whether the association between temperature and emergency department visits for asthma varies by season or month. Asthma emergency department visits among North Carolina adults during 2007–2008 were identified using a statewide surveillance system. Marginal as well as season- and month-specific associations between asthma visits and temperature were estimated with conditional logistic regression.
The association between temperature and adult emergency department visits for asthma is near null when the overall association is examined [odds ratio (OR) per 5 degrees Celsius = 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00, 1.02]. However, significant variation in temperature-asthma associations was observed by season (chi-square = 18.94, 3 degrees of freedom, p <0.001) and by month of the year (chi-square = 45.46, 11 degrees of freedom, p <0.001). ORs per 5 degrees Celsius were increased in February (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.10), July (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.29), and December (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.07) and decreased in September (OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.87, 0.97).
Our empirical example suggests that there is significant seasonal variation in temperature-asthma associations. Epidemiological studies rarely account for interactions between ambient temperature and temporal matching factors (such as month of year) in the case-crossover design. These findings suggest that greater attention should be given to seasonal modification of associations between temperature and respiratory outcomes in case-crossover analyses of other environmental asthma triggers.

Venues in Montauk, New York (16)Montauk [?m?nt?k] is a census-designated place (CDP) that roughly corresponds to the hamlet (unincorporated community) with the same name located in the town of East Hampton in Suffolk County, New York, United States on the South Shore of Long Island. As of the United States 2000 Census, the CDP population was 3,851 as of 2000. Montauk is the easternmost census-designated place in New York state. In 1851 a judgment was entered against the Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of Easthampton and on March 9, 1852 a deed to Montauk was entered at Riverhead in liber 63 of deeds p. 171 to plaintiffs Henry P. Hedges and others, the claimant equitable owners of Montauk (Proprietors), because their predecessors had contributed the money to purchase Montauk from the native Montaukett Indians in the 1600s. This deed caused the lands covered by the Dongan Patent/Charter to be split leaving the still unsettled lands at Montauk without government. Less than one month later, on April 2, 1852, a law was passed in Albany incorporating the Proprietors Montauks establishing the corporation of the trustees of Montauk and affirming its right to govern. In 1879 a legal action in Partition among the Proprietors of Montauk led to Montauk being sold in its entirety at auction to Arthur W. Benson. The deed was entered on the Montauk Trustee Corporation that had been established at chapter 139 of the Laws of 1852. The deed releasing claim to Montauk was entered on March 9, 1852 Montauk Friends of Olmsted Parks corporation was established in 1994 under the laws of the State of New York to protect an extensive system of beaches and waterfront properties and roadways Strategically located at the tip of the South Fork peninsula it has been used as an Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force base. Located 20 miles (32 km) off the Connecticut coast, it is home to the largest commercial and recreational fishing fleet in New York State. The Montauk Point Light was the first lighthouse in New York state and is the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the United States. Montauk is a major tourist destination and has six state parks. It is particularly famous for its fishing (claiming to have more world saltwater fishing records than any other port in the world) and surfing. The Deep Hollow Ranch is the oldest cattle ranch in the United States. Read MoreYou may also be looking for
History of MontaukMontauk derives its name from the Montaukett tribe, an Algonquian-speaking tribe who lived in the area. In 1614 Dutch explorer Adriaen Block encountered the tribe at Montauk Point which he named Hoeck van de Visschers, or "Point of the Fishers." In 1637 the Montauketts sided for their own protection with the English in the Pequot War in Connecticut. In the aftermath the Montauketts were to sell Gardiners Island. In 1648 what would become the Town of Easthampton (first Maidstone) was sold by to setters by the colonies of Connecticut and New Haven while retaining the lands to the east from the hills rising above where the first fort stood Napeague, New York to Montauk Point. The western boundary of today's Hither Hills State Park is also known as the 1648 purchase line. In 1653 Narragansetts under Ninigret attacked and burned the Montaukett village, killing 30 and capturing one of Chief Wyandanch's daughters. The daughter was recovered with the aid of Lion Gardiner (who in turn was to get large portion of Smithtown, New York in appreciation). The Montauketts, ravaged by smallpox and threatened by the Narragansetts, and were provided temporary refuge in East Hampton. The Narragansetts declared a war of genocide against the white settlers and many short but famous battles ensued. The skirmishes were to end in 1657. Fort Pond Bay derives its name from a Montaukett "fort" on its shore. A deed was issued in 1661 titled "Ye deed of Guift" which granted all of the lands East of Fort Pond to be for the common use of both the Indians and the Townsmen. After the 1658 purchase agreements were entered into in 1661, 1672 and 1686 which, among other things, allowed a group of Easthampton townsmen to graze cattle on the Montaukett lands. While some lands were protected in the agreements as forest land, for the most part all of Montauk was maintained by the townsmen as a private livestock and fisheries operation. As a result of Montauk being operated as a livestock operation it is considered to be the oldest cattle ranch in the United States. In 1660 Wyandanch's widow sold all of Montauk from Napeague to the tip of the island for 100 pounds to be paid in 10 equal installments of "Indian corn or good wampum at six to a penny". However the tribe was to be permitted to stay on the land and to hunt and fish at will on the land and to harvest the tails and fins of whales that washed up dead on the East Hampton shores. Town officials who bought the land were to file for reimbursement for rum they had plied the tribe. The tribe was to continue residence until the 19th century in the area around Big Reed Pond in what was to be called "Indian Fields." In 1686 English New York Governor Thomas Dongan issued a patent creating the governing system for East Hampton. The patent did not extend beyond Napeague to Montauk. This lack of authority has formed the basis for various control disputes ever since. In 1699 the pirate Captain Kidd was said to have buried treasure at the tip of Montauk at what today is called Money Pond. In 1775 during the Siege of Boston in the American Revolutionary War a British ship visited Fort Pond Bay in search of provisions—notably cattle. John Dayton who had limited troops at his disposal on a hill above the bay feigned that he had more by walking them back and forth across a hill turning their coats inside out to make it look like there were more of them (a tactic referred to as Dayton's Ruse). In 1781 the British HMS Culloden (1776) while pursuing a French frigate ran aground near what today is called Culloden Point. The ship was scuttled. Remains of the ship were discovered in the 1970s. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only underwater park in the state of New York. The first hamlet of Montauk was built on Fort Pond Bay near what is the train station for the Long Island Rail Road. In 1792 Congress under George Washington authorized construction of the Montauk Lighthouse. It was completed in 1796. In 1839 slaves who had seized the schooner Amistad came ashore in the hamlet looking for provisions after being told by the white crew that they had returned to Africa. American authorities were alerted and the slaves were recaptured and ultimately freed in a historically significant trial. In 1867, Stephen Talkhouse was displayed by P.T. Barnum as "the last king of the Montauks." Talkhouse became legend for his walks from Indian Fields to New York City. In 1879 Arthur W. Benson paid US$151,000 for 10,000 acres (40 km) for the east end (with Benson only fronting 10% down). Benson also got clear title to the Montaukett property at Big Reed Pond buying it from tribesmen for $10 each and one case one of the tribesmen houses was burned. The legitimacy of the transaction is still being contested in court by the tribe. In 1882 construction began on seven shingle-style "cottages" designed by Stanford White became the centerpiece of Benson's plans. The most prominent of the six Montauk Association houses is Tick Hall belonging to Dick Cavett. In 1895 the first train from the Austin Corbin extension of the Long Island Rail Road pulled into Montauk (the land having been bought in 1882). Corbin planned to turn Montauk into a "shortcut" saving a day each way for voyages between New York City and London (ships would dock at the Fort Pond Bay terminal and then passengers would travel by rail to New York City at 60 mph). Corbin built the dock on Fort Pond Bay, but the plans never materialized when, among other things, Fort Pond Bay was found to be too shallow and rocky to handle ocean going ships. In 1898 after the Benson/Corbin plan did not work out as planned, the United States Army bought the Benson property to establish an army base called Camp Wikoff to quarantine Army personnel returning from the Spanish American War. The most prominent of the returning quarantined soldiers were Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Several soldiers died during the quarantine, prompting a visit from President William McKinley. In 1924 Robert Moses began condemning Benson land to establish state parks on either end of Montauk—Hither Hills State Park in the west and the Montauk Point State Park in the east. The two parks were to be connected via the Montauk Point State Parkway. In 1926 Carl G. Fisher bought most of the east end, planning to turn Montauk into the "Miami Beach of the North." His projects included blasting a hole through the fresh water Lake Montauk to access Block Island Sound to replace the shallow Fort Pond Bay as the hamlet's port, establishing the Montauk Yacht Club on Star Island in Lake Montauk, building the Montauk Manor a luxury resort (pictured to the right), Montauk Playhouse and the six-story Montauk Improvement Building, which today remains East Hampton's tallest occupied building as zoning ordinances restrict heights of buildings, and established the Montauk Downs Golf Course. Other hotels opening then included Gurney's Inn, built by W. J. and Maude Gurney, who had managed a Fisher hotel in Miami Beach. Fisher lost his fortune in the Crash of 1929 and most of his enterprises were shuttered. In the Great Hurricane of 1938 water flooded across Napeague, turning Montauk into an island. Flood waters from the hurricane inundated the main downtown and it was moved three miles (5 km) to the south, immediately next to the Atlantic Ocean. During World War II the United States Navy bought most of the east end, including Montauk Manor, to turn it into a military base. Fort Pond Bay became a seaplane base. The United States Army established Camp Hero with 16-inch (410 mm) guns to protect New York shipping lanes. Several concrete bunker observation posts were built along the coast, including one immediately to the east of the Montauk Lighthouse. Base buildings were disguised so they appear from above as a New England fishing village. In 1951 sport fisherman Frank Mundus began to lead charter fishing trips out of Lake Montauk initially looking for bluefish but soon found fishing for sharks more lucrative. The sport of "monster fishing" became Montauk's signature draw. On September 1, 1951, the Pelican captained by Eddie Carroll, capsized in the shoals off Montauk Point resulting in the deaths of 45 passengers and crew. The 42-foot (13 m) Pelican was carrying 64 people, most of whom had taken the Fisherman's Special trains to Montauk LIRR station from New York City. The boat left the Fishangrila Dock at Fort Pond Bay at 7:30 a.m. severely overloaded. After fishing in the Atlantic Ocean on the south side of Montauk for several hours, it returned home, encountering engine trouble on the way. The weather turned stormy and a northeast wind developed against an outgoing tide, resulting in standing waves of several feet at Endeavor Shoals, just off the Point. The vessel, wallowing in the heavy seas, became unstable in its overloaded state, capsized and then foundered at 2:10 p.m. Nearby vessels were only able to rescue 19 passengers. The wreck was secured by fabled sport fisherman Frank Mundus and towed into Lake Montauk by the Coast Guard. As a result of the disaster, strict new regulations regarding overloading of fishing vessels were adopted nationwide. In 1957 the Army closed Camp Hero and it was taken over by United States Air Force which in 1958 built a 100-foot (30 m) wide AN/FPS-35 radar to detect incoming Soviet bombers. A massive building was built to house its computers. The radar quickly became obsolete. In 1959, following the Kitchen Debate between United States Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, the designers of the kitchen, including Raymond Loewy, announce plans to sell affordable prefabricated houses, called Leisurama, to be used for second homes. One of the houses was exhibited on the 9th floor of Macy's. Two hundred of the houses, the largest installation, were assembled at Culloden Point. In 1967 the United States Coast Guard announced plans to tear down the Montauk Lighthouse and replace it with a taller steel tower. Erosion had reduced its buffer from the edge of a cliff from 300 feet (91 m) when it was built to less than 100 feet (30 m). The Coast Guard backed down after protests. In 1982 the Air Force Base formally closed and the military began selling its surplus property. In 1992, Long Island residents Preston B. Nichols and Peter Moon wrote a science fiction novel, The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time (ISBN 0-9631889-0-9) in which it was claimed the radar was used by the government to conduct time travel experiments. Among the claims is that it drove the residents of Montauk mad and that their children were kidnapped. The book and its follow-up books were to expand on many Montaukett tales and other East End stories. The book has been perceived by some to be true and the base has assumed something of a cult status among conspiracy buffs. It was also featured in a segment of the X-Files television series. In October 2007 a fishing boat dragged up a large 19th century anchor, which was speculated to have been lost by the Great Eastern in 1862. On July 12, 2008 a reported "Montauk Monster" washed up on the shore and was not identified. Bernard Madoff owned a beach house in Montauk.

Spice It Up!
There are two dishes that remind me most of the Yucatán: pollo pibil and sopa de limón. Sometimes called Sopa de Lima, my host family in Mérida called it Sopa de Limón, and certainly surprised me by how unbelievably it tastes. Either way this chicken based Lime Soup, as it translates is amazing.
I still remember the first time I tasted it. I had fallen asleep on the bus on the way home from my University classes and ended up weaving around the streets on the bus for an hour longer than I should have. When I arrived home the house smelled…good. Not anything to write home about, but good. And I was STARVING. My host mom put a bowl of this soup in front of me. It looked like chicken soup, but prettier. The thin slices of lime floating in the broth promised that this would be different…and it was. The tangy lime beckons for you to keep eating until the bowl is empty, while the heat from the chile gives it a truly Mexican flavor. The chicken is juicy and tender, and it just didn't matter that it was about 100 degrees outside and I was eating a hot bowl of soup. Now THAT'S chicken soup for your Yucatan soul!
That's why sopa de limón is the ultimate summer soup. Despite the fact that it's served hot, this delicious soup is more refreshing than you could imagine, with cooling, flavorful lime that doesn't take over the other delicious flavors of the soup. And by the way, this is way more of a meal than just a soup. Plenty of chicken and lots of vegetables make this soup healthy and satisfying. Try adding a little rice if you are making it a meal, or soak up those last drips and some of the chicken in a corn tortilla to make the soup more substantial and kid friendly.
Sopa de Limon
Serves 4
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, sliced thin
1 rib of celery, chopped
1 yellow chile or jalapeño, chopped (seed the chile if you don't like the heat)
2 roma tomatoes, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 bay leaf
¼ tsp oregano, preferably Mexican
6 cups chicken stock or canned broth*
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
3-4 limes, juiced (about 1/3 cup)
2 green onions, sliced thin
chopped cilantro to garnish
salt to taste
1. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, chile, carrot and celery. Let the veggies cook for about 4 minutes, or until they are soft and the onion is transparent. Add the garlic, oregano, and the bay leaf, stirring until the garlic is aromatic:
2. Add the chopped tomato, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed.
3. Add the chicken and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken to a platter to cool, and continue simmering soup*.(see note)
4. When the chicken has cooled, shred with your hands or two forks and return to the broth. Add the chopped green onion and the lime juice. Salt to taste if needed, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
5. Serve the soup in shallow bowls and garnish with cilantro and thin slices of lime.
Note: If you are adding rice, increase the stock to 8 cups and add in ½ cup rice when you remove the chicken. Simmer the soup for 15 minutes before adding the chicken back in.

Al Franken
Posted By John Perazzo On February 5, 2010 @ 10:52 am In DTN Profiles | No Comments
Al Franken is a U.S. Senator representing Minnesota. His 2008 Senate race against Republican Norm Coleman was hotly contested and extremely close. It was also marred by what journalist Matthew Vadum called "appalling irregularities that characterized both the initial and subsequent vote-counting." The morning after the election, Coleman led Franken by 725 votes. But Franken refused to concede, and the thin margin triggered an automatic recount. As ACORN-aligned Secretary of State Mark Ritchie presided over the recount process, Coleman's lead gradually vanished due to a host of mysterious, newly discovered votes that almost invariably benefited Franken. A detailed account of these developments can found here. By the time the recount (and a court challenge by Coleman) had ended in April 2009, Franken held a 312-vote lead. On June 30, 2009, after the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously rejected his lawsuit, Coleman officially conceded and Franken was declared the victor.

Are Dealerships Selling Recalled Cars?
April 7th, 2014An intriguing and somewhat shocking report comes to us by way of ABC News today about the sometimes misleading practices of everyone's favorite scapegoat (and for good reason!) – used car salesmen. Reporters at ABC went undercover to a variety of dealerships in the New York area and tried to buy cars with current open recalls, most notably some of the General Motors models involved in a particularly deadly ignition switch recall that has put the company in some real hot water.

He's competed in numerous Boston Marathons. Now Vince Rigitano is preparing for what could be his most gruelling race as he takes on Ward 11 councillor Brenda Johnson in the Oct. 27 municipal election.
Rigitano, 60, said the Fruitland and Winona areas should embrace development to pave the way for new businesses and better infrastructure. HSR bus service should be enhanced citywide instead of light rail transit and politicians should treat taxpayer money like their own, he said.
See related story: Johnson to run again for Ward 11
The Stoney Creek businessman, who lives in Ward 10, chose to run in Ward 11 because he feels the area may not be living up to its full development potential.
"We need more growth in Ward 11," said Rigitano, who supports the development targets of the Fruitland-Winona Secondary Plan.
"You can't stop progress. We like to be the small community we used to be years ago, (but) I don't think that's the case anymore," he said.
Current councillor Brenda Johnson has repeatedly opposed the secondary plan, arguing the density target of 70 persons and jobs per hectare is too high, among other concerns. The plan was nevertheless approved by city council on April 23. Local residents have since pledged to appeal the decision at the Ontario Municipal Board.
Rigitano said city council needs fresh faces to make key decisions on local issues without hiring expensive outside consultants.
"What I've noticed is a lack of cooperation on city council," he said. "They don't work as a team; they work as individuals."
Rigitano said council lacked direction when it failed to reach a timely consensus on the Pan Am stadium location.
"It took so long to make a decision on the stadium; it took so much time and money and in the end a decision was made to build the stadium right where it was, which to me was the wrong thing to do," said Rigitano, who favoured a new stadium at Confederation Park.
Rigitano said the stadium issue is one of many decisions that should have been made by elected officials, not outside consultants.
"We hire (councillors) to make decisions, not to hire others that spend more money," said Rigitano. "City hall should be managed like a private business."
Rigitano wants to freeze municipal wages and hold the line on property taxes.
A native of the Calabria region of southern Italy, Rigitano came to Canada in the 1970s and worked for a mattress manufacturer for more than 30 years.
In 2010, he founded Stoney Creek's Primo Sleep mattress discounter and has recently partnered with a Burlington mattress discounter. Rigitano now works on a part-time basis and has promised to devote his full attention to his constituents if elected.
As the campaign progresses, Rigitano hopes to visit all areas of Ward 11, including Mount Hope and Binbrook, to learn more about what voters want.
Instead of jumping on the LRT bandwagon, Rigitano wants the city to enhance HSR bus service both above and below the escarpment, including areas now served by the Trans-Cab shared ride taxi service.
For example, he said bus service should be extended from the Hamilton-Niagara border at Fifty Road to Hamilton's west end. Bus service along Barton Street currently ends at Jones Road, with Trans-Cab services in place for the remainder of the route.
"Expanding HSR is much better than LRT," said Rigitano. "Extending HSR is less costly."
When he's training for a marathon, Rigitano likes to run between 60 and 70 kilometres weekly. An avid runner during his youth, Rigitano once aspired to run the 1,500-metre event for the Italian Olympic team, but relinquished the dream to help support his family.
Rigitano had already crossed the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon when bomb blasts killed three people and injured 264 others.
Despite the incident, he returned for this year's race, shaving 11 minutes off his 2013 mark with a time of three hours, 24 minutes and 54 seconds.

I am so thrilled today to hand over my blog to super talented snapper Sivan Askayo. Based in New York I was immediately attracted to Sivan's photo the first time I saw her bright, colourful and punchy images of exotic places around the world.
Today she is going to give you an insiders look at New York… Over to Sivan…….
I was introduced to Carla's blog and photography few months ago, through Lindsey (Lost in Cheeseland) a mutual friend.
It was when Carla commented on a guest blog I wrote to Cheeseland and I got curious to know more about Carla.
One thing led to another and I featured Carla and her Travel photography in one of my blog's segments 'Window or Aisle?' a segment where I introduce to my readers some inspiring photographers and creative people who share with me the love of Travel.
Through my introduction to Carla and her blog, I got to 'web-know' so many other inspiring women, who all only glorified Carla and her energy.
Needless to say how much I'm curious to meet Carla in real myself and how excited I am to be a guest blogger on her blog.
I am an Israeli Travel photographer and blogger, based in New York for 11 years now and quite often I day-dream about spending few months in Paris and photograph it.
As someone who travels for work, I write mostly about places I visit and less about the place where I live, New York.
Therefore, when Carla asked me to blog about New York, I immediately say Yes.
Not only does New York never sleep, it barely reclines. (which suits well my personality). That doesn't mean you can't kick back and relax; there are plenty places for that. But if you visit New York, here's a word to the wise: Pack your most comfortable shoes; Because Manhattanites may not nap much, but they sure do walk a lot.
I am very inspired by New York. I always tell people to carry their cameras. The streets are so dynamic, you can never know when and where you can get your best shot.
Here are some of my favorite things to do in Manhattan and some photogenic locations you want to consider.
6 AM: Grab your running shoes and head to Central Park. Start from Columbus Circle on 59th street and head east and north. Jog around the reservoir (named after Jackie Kennedy Onasis who used to live right by) and then jog back. Grab a coffee to go in one of the two cute little cafes at the entrance to the park.
8 AM: If you are up for a breakfast, my favorite place in my neighborhood is La Pain Quotidien Bakery on 58th street and 7th Ave. Even though it is a Belgium brand (don't tell anyone) I still love the Parisian atmosphere it has.
11 AM: Head downtown to SoHo area where most of the stores won't be open before 11 o'clock. Visit the Prada's flagship store (575 Broadway) designed by Rem Koolhaas and for a minute you can confused it to the Tate Modern than a fancy retail store. Walk around the cobble stone streets and visit Taschen book store, (107 Greene street), Vosges Chocolate (which flavors are inspired by Travel locations) Kate Spade colorful boutique and I'm sure you will find so many more stores.
1 PM: Lunch time.
Walk East toward Nolita (North of Little Italy) and make sure you get a table in Cafe Gitane, a French-Morrocan cafes. (242 Mott street). This is one of my favorite places in the city. Don't miss their cuscus dish. Delish.
3PM: Walk down to the Lower East Side for a creamy dip from Il Laboratorio del Gelato (95 Orchard st.) and try out their honey lavender and black mission fig flavors. Lower East Side has become quite trendy in the last couple of years, crowded with new restaurants, bars, and gallery spaces alongside original stores with some immigrant touch
4PM: Get energized in China Town with a real Chinese massage. (107 Mott st) I've been going there for years. A little China town in Manhattan.
6PM: It's Gallery time. Head West to Chelsea area and cruise with your drink from one gallery opening to another. Thursday is the day! Make sure to check some good ones along Gallery Line.
8PM: Don't miss the Highline. New York elevated park. I love this place. so many shooting opportunities for Fashion and Architecture lovers. The highline starts from 30th street all the way to 14th. Get off at 14th. It's the heart of the Meat Packing Area, where boutique hotels, high end fashion boutiques and best chefs restaurants are all centered in one area.
Grab dinner or a drink in Spice Market, Fig&Olive, or the Standard Grill and for a second think you are in a 'Sex and the City' scene.
10PM and on it's Party time: Dream Downtown Hotel and its PHD roof lounge has one of the most spectacular night time view. Drinks are a bit over priced but the view is for free.
2AM: Shopping after a long night of drinking can be dangerous to your credit cards, which is why Apple store on 5th Ave and 59th street is open around the clock. This is the time to shop if you want to avoid the crowd.
4AM: End your journey at the Juvenex Spa (25 west 32nd street) the only 24 hour spa in Manhattan. Try the Spa Foot Rejuvenation treatment because after a day like this you must give priority to your feet

Eight fixes the iPhone 5 needs
Three weeks into using the iPhone 5, there's an awful lot I like: the screen, the weight, the speed, and even features like turn-by-turn navigation, which has become my lifeline while moving out to the suburbs with a car. It is, without a doubt, my favorite iPhone. However, there are aspects I'd like to see addressed: Maps is at the top of the list, obviously. But there are also some small features in iOS 6 that could stand to be improved. And, there are some nonsoftware issues as well.

A weak low pressure will move through our region today bringing isolated showers through the morning turning to more widespread showers this afternoon and breezy conditions this evening east of the Cascades and in Siskiyou county. Tomorrow we'll continue to see showers, mainly in the afternoon, and they will be even lighter than today and once again becoming more scattered in the afternoon. With a more Spring pattern we'll see temperatures stay warmer and instability increase meaning we have the possibility for thunderstorm's in the afternoons, mainly in the mountains. We'll continue to see a warming trend through the weekend with the chance for Medford to reach 70 degrees for the first time this year, we've reached 69 degrees five times this year, I'm ready for those 70s!
The holiday weekend forecast is up in the air at the moment as the exact track of a low pressure south to Central California is unsure. We'll see the chance for showers, mainly late Saturday into Easter Sunday, as moisture gets wrapped around the low and we move into what is called a 'deformation zone.' This wrap around will not only bring in moisture though, it will also usher in warmer weather from the Southwest, potentially the warmest days of the year so far for Friday and Saturday! If the low tracks straight east after hitting California we'll stay dry, but if it shifts further north then that moisture will be able to bring showers into southern Oregon. As of now I have the most confidence that northern California will see showers Saturday afternoon through Easter Sunday, and moderate to low confidence that areas of southern Oregon will see showers for the holiday. We will continue to monitor this weekend system and keep you updated on Newswatch 12!
Follow me on Facebook for more weather updates. Thanks for logging on and have a great Wednesday!

Chrysler's new Italian master, Fiat, has battled labor unions and won.
At face value, the new labor agreement for Mirafiori does note change much. It makes small adjustments to workers' hours working times with the aim, according to a paper published by Fabiano Schivardi, to improve efficiency and productivity, something Italy sorely lacks.
But it also cuts back on union rights. They remain strong ― for example, union workers enjoy 80 hours of paid time to use for union activity ― but the small changes led some to claim that Italian democracy itself was at stake in the vote.
In the end, the new contract passed with just 54 percent of the votes. A poll conducted among workers by Termometro Politico, a news website, said that a majority of those who voted in favor did so because they felt "blackmailed" and feared losing their jobs.
Nina Leone, 47, voted "no" nevertheless: "There was no negotiation. It was take-it-or-leave-it. We couldn't accept it. And we know this is just the beginning." She blamed the government for taking a back seat and letting the company and unions sort it out by themselves.
State intervention in the economy is common in European countries and especially in Italy. Fiat itself, Deaglio said, has been the beneficiary of many government incentives, bailouts or taxpayer-funded redundancy payments.
"But in 2009," he added, "Marchionne did something unprecedented. He called for a 1,000 euro ($1,370) tax incentive for new car purchases to be scrapped. He was arguing that companies have to thrive without public support," something that in Italy sounded nothing less than "revolutionary."
Workers have taken Marchionne's views personally. "The time for state help in times of crisis is over," said Lipani. "I have one son. He is 13 now and I don't know if he'll be able to have a job like mine, I don't even know if he'll be able to stay in Turin."
The city could be doomed to decline should Fiat decide to move its headquarters somewhere else, such as Detroit, after its merger with Chrysler is finalized. In 2008, just a quarter of Fiat's cars were produced in Italy. Marchionne has often hinted that this might happen.
Abandoned warehouses and vast, empty industrial buildings dot Turin's streets. But experts agree that this Italian city won't become a ghost town, even if one of its largest employers leaves. While the automotive sector employs more than 50,000 people, Turin is much less reliant on it than Detroit, Deaglio said. Other sectors, such as research, information technology and film production have boomed in recent years.
After successfully hosting the winter Olympics in 2006, there has also been a resurgence in tourism and Turiners have become more confident: "Fiat once was like a mum for the town," said Stefano Tassinari, a social entrepreneur. "Now it is perceived like a distant cousin, whose fate interests us, but not exceptionally."
Sergio Chiamparino, Turin's outgoing mayor, is confident that his town can go "beyond Fiat," even if he hopes it won't have to do "without Fiat"― "It's possible ― but that would be difficult," he said.

The Isle of Casino Racing, located in Pompano Park, is like Disney World for degenerate adults, myself included. Seriously, you lose entertainment- and booze-filled hours in a casino and walk out to find it's already dark (or light, whichever the case may be). So when my buddy Beard was having a bitch of a bad day, I told him that I had the perfect remedy: casino time. When he wasn't so sure that gambling and drinking were appropriate ways to deal with bad feelings and general depression, I innocuously told him about the $1-drink happy hour.
We were Pompano-bound in minutes.
Fling: After a small struggle with the woman guarding the entrance to the gambling floor (she didn't seem to believe my I.D. was real), Beard and I traipsed across the Technicolor casino carpet to Fling, Isle Casino's center-stage bar. It had a distinct hotel-bar feel and, despite being in the middle of the casino, was shielded from the commotion by way of expert interior decorating. Sure, we could still hear the whirring and ding-ding-dinging of slot machines, but we also could make out "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac playing softly in the background, not to mention the subdued conversation between one geriatric gambling addict and the next.
The leather furniture was classy, and the carpet (designed to look like giant pond-ripples) was downright distracting. The long, sleek black bar boasted a handful of video poker machines, each carefully positioned directly in front of a barstool. Behind the bar was nothing except a handsome, black-clad bartender and an assload of glistening liquor bottles, all catching the bizarre colors and lights that exist only within the casino habitat.
"So, what's this happy hour consist of?" I asked the bartender.
"One-dollar domestics, drafts, wells, and wines," he said.
We sandwiched between two stooped, gray-haired men who were methodically feeding dollar bills into their respective video poker machines and ordered Bourbon and Cokes. Beard began fumbling in his wallet.
"So, is this cheap drink deal a sign of the economic times?" I asked.
"Not really," the bartender said. "I think they're going to take the deal away some time next year anyway. And there's a bunch of restrictions too."
"Like what?" I arched an eyebrow.
"Well, you can only have two drinks per hour, for starters."
Beard looked up. "That's barely enough to get a buzz!"
"People try to get around it by ordering drinks from girls on the floor and then coming back here," the bartender said.
By now, Beard had shoved $2 into his video poker machine. The little video screen on mine was displaying the words "Play me — just one play could change your life." Yeah, by making me broker.
"This is five-card draw," Beard explained. "Deuces are wild, and I have a two — see? So I'm going to hold these two eights."
The screen flashed. "Four of a kind!" Beard said, jabbing a finger at the screen. "I won a dollar! Suckers!"
About 45 seconds later, the machine had taken many of Beard's dollars and I was about ready to check out the next bar. As we stood, a large man in an orange Hawaiian shirt stopped us.
"Are you going to play bingo tonight?" he asked hopefully.
"No," I said. "We're planning on going up to the track bar."
"Oh," he said. "There's harness racing going on right now; you'll like that."
"Will I?" I blanched slightly. I'm not big on the racing industry. This might be because I live with a retired racing greyhound.
"Um... you might," he said. "It's when the horses sit in carts and people pull them. The horses whip the people if they don't go fast enough."
"Wow!" I said.
"That's not what that is," Beard admonished. "Don't get her hopes up. We'll probably pop in the steak house first."
"Oh," said Hawaiian Shirt. "Yeah, that's a good place — it's a little, um, classier, though..." He trailed off and glanced conspicuously at Beard's untrimmed facial hair and mop of curly hair smashed beneath a Yankees cap.
"Noted," I said, grabbing Beard's arm.
We bade farewell to the bartender, who was giving dating advice to an 80-year-old man.
Farraddays' Steakhouse: We walked to the escalator, past the "Wow" fountain — a sculpted monolith consisting of water and light pouring over stanchions of stacked, twisting glass — and up the escalator, arriving at the closed glass doors of Farraddays'.
"I'm not going in there," announced Beard. We glanced in at the classy bar inside Farraddays' and quickly discovered that we were painfully underdressed. The lounge area was classy, with orange, cylindrical lights hanging over the bar, plenty of liquor bottles stacked behind the bar, and plush armchairs just waiting to be lounged in.
"Are you debating eating there?" asked a dark-haired woman with a Northern accent. "Because the early bird is a great deal."
"What's the early bird?" I asked.
"You get three courses for $25," she said. "Usually each entrée can be that much by itself. I went for my birthday, and my husband and I went for our anniversary."
Beard visibly salivated in response.

Frost and Sullivan's GIL (Growth, Innovation, Leadership) conference takes place next week in San Jose and is focused on connecting executives and engaging on topics that foster innovation, shape corporate strategy and help companies and individuals prepare for the future.
On Monday, I'll be joining Melanie Turek of Frost and Sullivan and several other smart people for a discussion on Using Social Media to Get Closer to Your Customers. This is a topic that I'm extremely passionate about because I believe the best way to communicate with someone is to use the channels they prefer. Let customers contact you their way -- not yours.
Social media is quickly becoming a favorite channel for customer communication. ReadyTalk staffs several official Twitter handles plus another two dozen handles used by employees to support communication efforts. You can find us on Twitter here:
@ReadyTalk – the latest news and updates from ReadyTalk. Plus, a ton of webinar tips and industry news.
@RTWebSem – Demand generation manager, Simone Verhulst, shares upcoming webinars and tons of knowledge. She's got entertaining content to share.
@ReadyTalkGeeks – Find out what ReadyTalk's engineers are hard at work on. Topics often include trends, AGILE, Scrum, Java and beer.
@ReadyTalkCare – ReadyTalk's customer care team is standing by to answer customer questions and provide guidance.
Of course, ReadyTalk is also on Facebook. We don't get a lot of customer support questions on Facebook but have found it to be a good venue to share best practices and tips with customers.
If you're going to be at GIL next week, please be sure to say hello or share below; I'd love to hear how your company is using social media to engage customers.
As the marketing communications and PR manager, Bo gets to wear many hats (but her favorite is a race car helmet). When she isn't tackling branding, messaging, social media and collateral, she enjoys skiing with her husband, running with her dog and playing board games with friends. You can find her on Twitter @bo_knows_.
