Riverside Museum
Zaha Hadid Architects
Glasgow, Scotland
The museum positions itself symbolically and
functionally as open and fluid, engaging its context and content to
ensure it is profoundly interlinked with not only Glasgow's
history, but also its future.
The historic development of the Clyde and the city of Glasgow is a unique legacy. Located where the Kelvin joins the Clyde, the museum's design flows from the city to the river; symbolizing a dynamic relationship where the museum is the voice of both, connecting the city to the river and also the transition from one to the other.
The museum houses more than 3,000 exhibits, in over 150
interactive displays telling the stories of the people who made the
term "Clyde Built" one which travelled the world and spoke volumes
about unbeatable quality.
The Tall Ship Glenlee is moored in front of the museum's south facade, bringing her together, for the very first time, with the city's unrivalled ship model collection. The Glenlee is one of only five "Clyde Built" sailing vessels afloat in the world today and the only one in the UK.
The building, open at opposite ends, has a tunnel-like configuration between the city and the Clyde. However, within this connection between the city and river, the building diverts to create a journey away from its external context into the world of the exhibits.
Visitors build up a gradual sense of the external context as they move through the museum from exhibit to exhibit. The design is a sectional extrusion, open at opposing ends along a diverted linear path. This cross-sectional outline could be seen as a cityscape and is a responsive gesture to encapsulate waves on water.
The outer waves or "pleats" are enclosed to accommodate support services and the "black box" exhibits. This leaves the main central space column-free and open, offering greatest flexibility to exhibit the museum's world-class collection.
The main contractors, BAM, described the building of the massive, 2,500 tons steel roof, without any internal supporting columns, as the most challenging engineering feat in the UK today.
The form of the roof structure is roughly z-shaped in plan with structural mullions at each end that not only support the roof, but also allow the glazed end facades to be supported without the need for any secondary members. In section the roof is a series of continuous ridges and valleys that constantly vary in height and width from one gable to the other with no two lines of rafters being geometrically the same.
/Zaha Hadid
The history of Glasgow is profoundly interlinked with the history of the Clyde, and together they have informed the museum's design. I wanted the building to reflect the importance of its location and allow for the innovative and inspirational display of its outstanding collection.
The fluid design continues Glasgow's rich engineering traditions; a true demonstration and celebration of the skills and passion of local engineers and contractors who helped to bring this building to life.

"Calvinism is evidently connected with the commercial vocation," writes Luigi Barzini in The Europeans.

The Madison County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents:
Arrest: On May 27, investigator Donald Carr received confidential information about a possible drug sale at a convenience store parking lot on U.S. Highway 29 north of Danielsville. Carr drove to the location and spotted a Chevrolet Lumina with a woman and two men inside. As Carr got out of his vehicle, the Lumina started to drive off, but Carr pulled out his badge and told the driver to stop. Carr ordered the woman out of the car and explained why he had stopped her. She said no drugs were in the car, but a needle was in her purse. Carr located the needle and Lt. Jeff Vaughn and investigator Scott Pulliam arrived, along with a drug dog from the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. Carr searched the car and found a Slim Jim canister with a glass pipe and metal knuckles. The driver, 25-year-old Robert Michael Mays of Elberton, denied knowledge of the pipe, but he was taken to jail for possessing drug-related equipment. No drugs were found in the needle, and the 23-year-old Jefferson woman was released, as was the 28-year-old passenger from Hartwell.
Trespassing: On May 27, a deputy was dispatched to a home on Brownwood Drive, Hull, where a man complained someone trespassed on his property. No evidence was found.
Complaint: On May 27, deputy Michael Free was dispatched to Madison Boulevard, Colbert, where a Rayle man had violated a temporary protection order by calling the house four times. The complainant was advised to go to Magistrate Court.
Arrest: On May 27, deputy Josh Fowler was dispatched about 9 p.m. to assist a state probation officer on Sherwood Circle, Danielsville. He wanted Fowler to use Ace, the sheriff's office drug dog, to find marijuana in the house. Jessie Marion Justice, 27, had admitted to smoking marijuana earlier in the day, and the officer suspected more marijuana was in the house. Fowler took Ace into a bedroom, where the odor of marijuana was so strong it was hard for the dog to locate a source. Ace eventually went to a corner of the bed where a bag of marijuana was found under the mattress. Justice was taken to jail.
Theft: On May 27, deputy David Kidd was dispatched to Kenner & Sons Roofing, where a man said someone stole a Verizon cell phone valued at $200.
Complaint: On May 27, a deputy met with a Hull woman who said her 16-year-old daughter had received some disturbing messages on her e-mail account.
Theft: On June 1, deputy Josh Smith was dispatched to a house under construction on Archer Road, Colbert, where someone had stolen 10 rolls of Shingle Mate roofing felt paper.
Arrest: On May 28, a deputy was dispatched to Laurel Avenue, Comer, to serve an arrest warrant on a woman. John Wagener, 52, who lived at the location, said the woman was not there. When asked where she was, he replied, "I wish I knew." The deputy searched and found the woman in a closet. Wagener was taken to jail for obstructing a law enforcement officer.
Arrests: On May 28, investigator Donald Carr visited with a 31-year-old woman who said she wanted a cell phone, now in the hands of a 26-year-old Danielsville woman, returned to her. The woman said she didn't want to prosecute, but she wanted her phone back. When Carr drove up to the Danielsville woman's Country Lane house to inquire about the phone, he saw a green 2005 Jeep Wrangler with three people, one of whom he recognized as Daniel G. Cowart, 29, of Carlton. Carr knew Cowart was wanted on warrants from Elbert and Hart counties. Before they could leave, Carr approached the Jeep, pulled out his badge and told them to stop. Cowart was then handcuffed. The Danielsville woman came out of her home, and another woman, 18-year-old Talmo resident Martha Cox, exited the Jeep. Both wanted to know why Carr was there. Carr was allowed to search the Jeep and found a towel with a pipe and a bag of methamphetamine. The driver, Joshua Cain Thomas, 18, of Robert Hardeman Road, Athens, refused to answer questions about the suspected drug, and he and Cox were arrested for possession. Carr also found almost an ounce of suspected marijuana and some digital scales inside Cox's purse, but she denied ownership. The Jeep was towed, and all three were taken to jail. Carr then questioned the Danielsville woman about the phone, and she claimed it originally belonged to her. However, she gave the phone to Carr, who returned it to the complainant.
Damage: On May 28, deputy Michael Moore was dispatched to S&H Road, where a couple said one of their neighbors had cut the cable to their satellite dish. They wanted the incident documented.
Burglary: On May 28, deputy Michael Free was dispatched to Miller McElreath Road, Danielsville, where a man said he returned from his niece's birthday party about 11 p.m. to find that someone had kicked in the door, but nothing seemed to be missing. The man said it was the second such incident that week.
Theft: On May 30, deputy Alan Stratton was dispatched to Hull to meet with a man who said his brother came to visit him two days before and brought along a Danielsville woman. After they left, the man said he realized his cell phone was missing. Another person was seen later with the phone and she said she purchased it from the Danielsville woman. The phone was returned to its owner, and a suspect arrest is expected.
Damage: On May 29, deputy Josh Fowler was dispatched to the parking lot of Ingles supermarket, where a 21-year-old Hull woman said she saw a man trying to reattach a sideview mirror to her car, after he apparently knocked it off with his truck. When she approached and dialed 911, the man got back into the truck and left. She was unable to get a license plate number.
Burglary: On May 30, deputy Jason Luke was dispatched to Madison Boulevard, Colbert, where burglars had entered a home and stole $900 in items, mostly guns. Two 30.30-caliber rifles, a .270-caliber and .308-caliber rifle were among those stolen, including about $50 in various ammunitions.
Damage: On May 31, deputy Jeff Strickland was dispatched about 4:50 a.m. to a store on Georgia Highway 72, Comer, where a woman said her 28-year-old ex-boyfriend was harassing her. She said she refuses to reconcile with him and he showed up at the store yelling at her. She said she watched as he picked up a rock, hit her car's windshield with it and fled the area. In another case, the ex-boyfriend is suspected of going to homes along Pine Valley Farm Road in Comer. In one case, a woman reported June 1 about 5:30 p.m. that she arrived home to find someone knocked out a window, then went into her home and stole a two-liter bottle of Pepsi from the refrigerator. A couple at another home reported about 7 p.m. that they came home to find someone had tried to pry their front door, but did not get inside. The ex-boyfriend has been seen in the area, and deputies want to question him in these two cases. Also, on June 1, the ex-girlfriend said she heard a loud crash outside her home. When she went to investigate, she found her car's rear window had been knocked out. While looking at the car, the lights in the house went out and she saw her ex-boyfriend run from her house into the nearby woods, where she thinks he is hiding. Deputy Strickland responded to her call and fixed the breaker in her fuse box to restore power.
Theft: On June 1, deputy Michael Free was dispatched to Colbert Grove Road, where a 40-year-old woman said her boyfriend had stolen 20 Soma pills from her pocketbook.
Arrest: On June 1, deputy Mark Jerome was watching a car while parked at a convenience store on U.S. Highway 29, Hull, when he saw a man walking toward the car. Jerome approached, and the man shoved something into his mouth. Upon Jerome's order, the man spit out some pink pills he said were Tylenol. The pills later were identified as Lortab. Dustin A. Edwards, 19, of Buddy Moore Road was charged with possession of a controlled drug and giving false information.
Robbery: On June 2, deputy Mark Jerome was dispatched to the Food Mart on Georgia Highway 98, Ila, where an attempted robbery had taken place about 5:20 a.m. A woman said she was in the office doing paperwork when she received a phone call asking if the car in the store's parking lot belonged to her. She told the caller it did, and the caller told her to take a money bag outside and throw it down at a nearby Dumpster. The caller warned her that he had a friend with a gun watching her and that he would shoot her if she didn't comply. The woman said she threw the money bag down near the trash bin, then encountered a customer arriving at the store. She told the customer to call police because she had been robbed. The customer saw a blue Toyota in a next-door parking lot, and he ran after the vehicle to get a license tag number, but it sped off on Cody Fowler Road in the direction of Neese Commerce Road. The money was recovered.
Fraud: On June 2, a 32-year-old Danielsville woman reported she received a check in the mail that she learned was counterfeit when she called the bank.
Threat: On June 2, a 26-year-old Danielsville woman reported she told her husband she wanted a divorce, and he threatened in response to knock out her teeth and take their children. She said he later showed up at a doctor's office where she had gone, and created a scene. The woman wanted to get a temporary protection order.

- Blog: Contract at Your Own Risk
by Ralph Agostinelli March 2014
Online continuing education courses have become a regular part of my life thanks in part to the New Jersey legislature, which passed a law setting down ongoing professional competency requirements for professional engineers licensed there. Recently, I took a course on change orders — work that is added to or deleted from the original scope of a contract — the gist of which seemed to be, "How to make sure you [that is, engineers] don't get hit with a claim for negligence because you didn't design something properly."

- How Stadium Construction Costs Reached the Billions
by Andrew Cohen July 2012
In some circles, outrage accompanied the 2001 opening of Miller Park, the Milwaukee Brewers' new home. The state senator who cast the deciding vote in favor of a sales-tax increase to pay the public's $290 million portion of the construction cost had been recalled in a public referendum, and three workers had died after a crane collapsed, delaying the stadium's scheduled opening by a year. The stadium's fan-shaped retractable roof proved problematic, necessitating a $13 million fix paid for by a settlement reached between the Miller Park Stadium District and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of America, averting further litigation. That one signature element was a prime culprit in the stadium's ultimate $400 million construction cost, at the time the second-highest price tag for a new professional baseball stadium.

by Paul Steinbach May 2011
Fans attending a University of Wisconsin men's basketball game spend an average of $98.25 while in Madison, and that doesn't include the purchase price of the tickets. The typical Badger football fan drops $232.53 (excluding tickets) during his or her stay (nearly 76 percent of fans eat in local restaurants, and 11 percent book lodging). Even when not attending games, fans on average purchase $156.27 worth of UW merchandise annually. All told, UW athletics contributes $970 million to the state's economy, according to a study conducted by NorthStar Economics Inc.Wisconsin has led the Big Ten Conference in men's basketball attendance eight of the past nine seasons, and its football program ranked 16th in attendance among Football Bowl Subdivision schools last fall, according to the NCAA. "When you think about it, it's a powerful economic force when you have that many people spending money for meals and hotels and transportation and merchandise," UW athletic director Barry Alvarez told local sports journalist and broadcaster Mike Lucas at uwbadgers.com.

April 2 (Reuters) - After a court decision allowing Stockton, California to push ahead with its bankruptcy, investors in the $3.7 trillion U.S. municipal bond market will have a ringside seat as the nation's biggest public pension system and bondholders duke it out.
In one corner is the 800-pound gorilla, the behemoth $254 billion California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), which is set to battle with bondholders over who will have to take a haircut as the broke city looks to reduce its debt. Public employees are also in the match, as the city is expected to renegotiate labor contracts.
The market for U.S. state and city debt, worn down by years of negative headlines about financially distressed local governments, on Tuesday welcomed news of the case's continuation.
"The market is looking forward to some resolution and clarity here," Charles S. Pulire, senior portfolio manager with Oppenheimer Rochester municipal funds, which has $38 billion in management in 20 different municipal funds.
Dan Heckman, senior fixed income strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said bond owners may emerge unscathed.
"There are lots of areas where the city can go before looking for a big discount from bondholders," Heckman said. "We don't think it will be as much a negative as many believe."
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Christopher Klein signaled that CalPERS' position in the case was not above review. Stockton, a city of 300,000, has so far not reduced pension payments to retired city workers, although it has eliminated their healthcare benefits.
Since at least the 1930s, bondholders in major municipal bankruptcies have consistently been repaid their entire principal.
Stockton became the biggest U.S. city to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection in June 2012. But muni bond insurers and bondholders challenged the case, arguing that the city was not truly insolvent when it filed and that it impropertly failed to seek concessions from CalPERS.
After Monday's ruling investors in the massive municipal bond market did what they've learned to do over the past few years: shrug it off.
"We've seen this coming for quite some time and the market has expected it, so it's not the big attention grabbing headline that would necessarily create volatility or a selloff in the market," said Peter Hayes, head of the municipal bonds group at BlackRock, which oversees $109 billion.
Portfolio managers said that despite years of bad news for struggling cities and some high-profile bankruptcies, the market remains safe relative to other investments.
Of nearly 8,000 local governments rated by Moody's Investors Service, only 36, or less than 0.5 percent, are rated below investments grade. While miniscule that number has been creeping up, with six of those added over the last five months.
The court decision on Monday was having little effect on muni bond prices tied to Stockton, or other cities and towns especially hit by the U.S. housing bust, portfolio managers said.
"Investors are watching and waiting," said Chris Mier, chief strategist of Loop Capital's analytical division. "The lack of precedent is likely encouraging investors who own Stockton debt to maintain their holdings since it is very difficult right now to anticipate an outcome."
Gregory Serbe, who oversees $230 million of municipal assets as president of Municipal Asset Management at Lebenthal & Co., said that Stockton and San Bernardino, another bankrupt California municipality, will probably make investors more cautious.
But the cases are unlikely to cause widespread fear among mom and pop retail investors, who dominiate the muni market, of an asset class that's normally considered safe.
"Will this make people afraid of municipal bonds? Probably not," he said. "But I think it will make people look at it a little more closely and more at the fine print of the credit quality."

Dibrugarh/Jorhat, May 12: Suspected Ulfa militants damaged a pipeline of the state-run Assam Gas Company Limited (AGCL) near Borhat tea estate in Sivasagar district last night.
In another incident, suspected Ulfa rebels brutally assaulted Congress worker Bibha Bora (35) in Lakhimpur town late last night for allegedly informing police that she had received a Rs 10-lakh extortion note. Her private security officer and husband fled when she was attacked, sources said.
The Sivasagar blast damaged 12 metres of the 16-inch trunk pipeline, cutting off gas supply to the Lakwa thermal power station and resulting in a massive shortfall in its feedstock.
The pipeline is the only route through which natural gas is supplied to the station, which then supplies power to the Upper Assam tea gardens. Around 50 tea estates, especially in Jorhat and Golaghat districts, are likely to face a power crisis till supply is restored.
Dipak Chetia Phukon, public relations manager of the Duliajan-based AGCL, said: Gas supply to the power station through the Duliajan-Namrup-Lakwa pipeline was stopped around midnight after we received information about the blast. He said it would take a couple of days for the pipeline to be repaired and normal gas supply to resume.
This is the second blast carried out by Ulfa in Sivasagar district within 48 hours. The outfit had triggered a blast inside a pharmacy in Sivasagar town on Thursday.
Last night, another major tragedy was averted at Bharalumukh in Guwahati when a powerful improvised explosive device was defused after a housewife alerted the police.
The incident at Sivasagar could not have come at a more inoppotune time as the power situation in the state is already precarious. Besides, protests over army atrocities continued at Doomdooma over the killing of Budheswar Moran by the army last weekend.

BANNU, Pakistan (AP) -- Gunmen killed a top leader of the Pakistani Taliban in a tribal region near Afghan border on Monday, intelligence officials and militant commanders said.
Asmatullah Shaheen Bitani and three aides died in a shooting in Darga Mandi area of North Waziristan, the four officials and two militants said.
Bitani's cousin also confirmed his death, saying that his family was preparing for a funeral and burial.
The officials said it was not clear whether the killing was militant infighting, or if Pakistani security forces killed him, or if Bitani was shot by someone who wanted the government bounty of 10 million rupees ($95,000) on him.
No one has claimed responsibility. Neither the militant group has responded yet with any statement, which they usually make after such high profile killings. All officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to talk to the media on record.
Bitani, who sat on the Pakistani Taliban's executive council, was appointed interim chief of the militant group after a suspected U.S. drone strike killed his former chief Hakimullah Mehsud last year.
He has since been replaced by another leader, Mullah Fazlullah, who was chosen by the executive council.
The Pakistani Taliban are a loose network of militant groups. Tens of thousands of Pakistanis have died in their war to overthrow the government and enforce their own harsh brand of Islamic Shariah law.
North Waziristan is home to a mix of local and foreign al-Qaida linked militant groups. Some militants focus their attacks only against American and its NATO allied forces across the border in Afghanistan, where they are fighting the Afghan branch of the Taliban.
Afghan warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur heads one of these groups. He has a non-aggression treaty with Pakistani government. He controls the Darga Mandi area where Bitani was killed.
Pakistan's government recently started peace talks with the Taliban, but negotiations were suspended after the killing of 23 soldiers by a faction of the militant group and a militant-claimed bombing in southern port city of Karachi that killed 13 police officers.
Ever since, Pakistani air force jets have been pounding militants' hideouts in tribal regions near the Afghan border.
In the latest strikes, the air force hit militants' compounds and a bomb-making factory in the Tirah valley in Khyber tribal region, an army and an intelligence official said late Sunday. They claimed that at least 28 militants were killed.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media on record.
There was no way to independently confirm the report. The remote tribal area is off limits to journalists.
Both the Pakistani government and the local Taliban are demanding that the other initiate a cease-fire first to resume the talks.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif long has favored peace talks over military action to end the bloodshed in the northwest, but he is also under pressure from critics to retaliate for any Taliban violence.
Associated Press Writer Riaz Khan in Peshawar, Pakistan contributed to this report.

Easygoing and straightforward. I take life and it's goals one at a time. Experience says, things change. So, not getting hard on it. Solve one problem and proceed to the next.
Knowledge in it's purest form is my weakness. I enjoy useful discussions, history and philosophy. Apart from that, my work gets me enough challenge to get occasional headache. So, once in a while I prefer arts over mathematics. Fairly non-judgmental in attitude as I am not aware of another's situation and circumstances. Being said that, a good counselor as I have been told.
Occasional sarcasm
Although I feel, it is all about time, place and circumstances.
Food: Like to try different cuisines but prefer non red meat. A connoisseur of wine. Count me in, if going for a food trip.
Music: Soft rock, instrumental classics
Movie: I lag behind about an year or two from the release time of any decent movie. Exception being: movies staring De Niro, Di Caprio, Hrithik Roshan, Mel Gibson, Catherine zeta Jones ( She is so gorgeous even now @):- ) and directed by Scorcese, Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino, Anurag Kashyap, Mani Ratnam

One of the fun elements to role-playing adventure The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -- outside of slaying dragons or getting clubbed by a giant and soaring into the air like a fastball off the bat of Albert Pujols -- is the "kill cam."
When a player pulls off a strike that vanquishes an opponent, they get a dynamic, gritty camera view that adds some flair to their finishing blow.
Originally, it was meant for melee attacks only. But thanks to a massive update detailed in publisher Bethesda Softworks official blog, it will apply to ranged and magic kills as well.
There's also video, for those who want a better look at the changes.
The update will address several bugs as well as add extra kill moves and animations for melee attacks. It's available now for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Perhaps the most astonishing revelation tied to this announcement is how much time players have spent exploring Skyrim. The Bethesda blog post notes the average time logged in the game across PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 is a whopping 85 hours. Also, 30% of players have clocked in more than 100 hours of gameplay.
Mike Snider began covering the video game industry during the Super Nintendo-Sega Genesis clash in 1992. An original pinball wizard, he eventually was seduced by Robotron: 2084 and Tempest. These days he is a fan of action/shooters and lives out his Keith Moon fantasies playing a mean drum kit on music games. More about Mike.

Posh Gives Good O-Face
The thick-lipped Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, used her full range of emotion to imitate various levels of sexual arousal in humans for a recent photo shoot at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles.
At least, that is what is presumed to be taking place, since her bottom half is concealed through most of the shoot. She might just be receiving some "adoration" from an overzealous fan.
In any case, this humanoid impersonator clearly has multiple settings, which include "pouty," "sexy confusion," "kissy-face" and "hey, look at my sexy armpit."
If this photo shoot is successful, the Posh robot is going to fly off the shelves.

UPDATE: Hope For Haiti Now
Typically the top post of the day is reserved for the hottest pics, but today I'm donating it to George Clooney's Hope For Haiti Now because he's my hero. And not just because he Tiger Woods'd his way through cocktail waitresses way before Tiger even considered the possibility golf would get him laid. And did it. But, seriously, the Clooney's doing a good thing here with some assistance from Robert Pattinson, Taylor Swift and other celebs who I'm going to make snappy comments about on Twitter because it's the only way I know how to love.
So, please, donate what you can by clicking the image above and feel free to follow me tonight on Twitter as I live-tweet Hope for Haiti Now starting at 8 PM EST.
UPDATE: Hope for Haiti Now has reportedly raked in $58 million as of this update, so huge thanks to everyone who kicked in. Also, Simon Owens of Bloggasm.com has brought to my attention international non-profit organization CARE who've been in Haiti since 1954, so they have the infrastructure to immediately put funds to use. < http://www.care.org/haiti>
Thanks again to everyone who contributed.

Arnold, J., Goodacre, S., Bath, P.A. et al. (1 more author) (2009) Information sheets for patients with acute chest pain: randomised controlled trial. British Medical Journal, 338. Art. No.b541. ISSN 0959-8146
Objectives: To determine whether providing an information sheet to patients with acute chest pain reduces anxiety, improves health related quality of life, improves satisfaction with care, or alters subsequent symptoms or actions.
Design: Single centre, non-blinded, randomised controlled trial.
Setting: Chest pain unit of an emergency department.
Participants: 700 consecutive patients with acute chest pain and no clear diagnosis at initial presentation.
Interventions: After a diagnostic assessment patients were randomised to receive either standard verbal advice or verbal advice followed by an information sheet.
Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was anxiety (hospital anxiety and depression scale). Secondary outcomes were depression (hospital anxiety and depression scale), health related quality of life (SF-36), patient satisfaction, presentation with further chest pain within one month, lifestyle change (smoking cessation, diet, exercise), further information sought from other sources, and planned healthcare seeeking behaviour in response to further pain. Results 494 of 700 (70.6%) patients responded. Compared with those receiving standard verbal advice those receiving advice and an information sheet had lower mean hospital anxiety and depression scale scores for anxiety (7.61v8.63, difference 1.02, 95% confidence interval 0.20 to 1.84) and depression (4.14 v 5.28, difference 1.14, 0.41 to 1.86) and higher scores for mental health and perception of general health on the SF-36. The information sheet had no significant effect on satisfaction with care, subsequent symptoms, lifestyle change, information seeking, or planned actions in the event of further pain.
Conclusions: Provision of an information sheet to patients with acute chest pain can reduce anxiety and depression and improve mental health and perception of general health but does not alter satisfaction with care or other outcomes.

How's The Weather?
Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up-to-date with our latest videos!
Language Focus Other songs about: weather
"How's the weather?" "Let's look outside." "Is it _____?" Weather types (sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy).
How's The Weather? Lyrics and Actions
Key Gestures
Weather - Use the American Sign Language sign for weather: make a 'W' with the three middle fingers on each hand and then twist them back and forth.
Sunny - Make a big circle over your head with your arms.
Rainy - Wiggle your fingers down in front of you, simulating rain.
Cloudy - Squeeze two imaginary pillows above your head.
Snowy - Move your hands down in front of you in a slow, wavy motion.
♫ How's the weather? [Weather gesture.]
How's the weather?
How's the weather today?
Is it sunny? [Sunny gesture.]
Is it rainy? [Rainy gesture.]
Is it cloudy? [Cloudy gesture.]
Is it snowy? [Snowy gesture.]

Let's look outside. [Put your hand above your eyes and look out the window.]
How's the weather?
Is it sunny today?
Let's look outside.

Classroom Benefits
"How's The Weather?" is a soothing song for talking about the weather. We keep it simple with four terms for describing the weather: sunny, rainy, cloudy, and snowy. These are the easiest weather concepts for toddlers to understand, and they are easy to gesture too! This song is a great lead-in to further discussion of weather and weather-related terms.
It's also a great chance to practice responding to simple yes/no questions. During the pause after the questions, "Is it sunny/rainy/cloudy/snowy?" children have time to do the gesture, and also answer the question with a "yes" or "no" or a thumbs up or thumbs down.
Activity Ideas
Make a weather related craft, such as paper snowflakes, rain drops, or a weather wheel. See our Pinterest board for more weather teaching ideas. 1
Use this song to discuss additional types of weather such as windy, stormy, hot and cold. 2

Spring was in the air in Sydney last week as first
Whether it was the shaky world economy, uncertainties over the looming federal election, or overly ambitious estimates, or all of the above, many of the major works on offer at Sotheby's – more than $3 million worth – went unsold. About half the offerings are likely to go back to disappointed vendors. And few of those that did sell managed to scrape past the lower end of their pre-sale estimates.
Indeed, artworks were still selling a day after the auction – including
D&H, meanwhile, got off to a strong start at its Paddington sale on Wednesday as a welter of stars and stripes by UK artist
Riley's Off from 1963, a tiny, irregularly shaped board painted with black chevrons on a white field, all housed in a Perspex case, brought $820,000 – 10 times its upper estimate – from a phone bidder who seemingly went on to secure most of the other Rileys. With D&H's 20 per cent premium, the buyer will pay $984,000.
The other Rileys ranged from about $80,000 to $144,000 including buyer's premium (IBP), most leaving the estimates far behind.

Increase Traffic to Your Website, Generate Leads, & Make More Sales Starting in Just Minutes!
The ONLY Video Marketing Software That Works Seamlessly With Facebook's Native Video Player – Capturing 100% Of Your Viral Shares.
Bridges your Periscope and Youtube CC BY licensed viral videos to Facebook with automatic branding and call to action.
AUTOPLAYS ON MOBILE! The 65% of Facebook video views happen on mobile and FB native player is the ONLY player which can autoplay video while user scroll timeline! It is the ONLY way to boosts video reach on mobile to generate more Traffic, Leads & Sales.
Warning: Using any video player, other than Facebook's to share your content can automatically trigger Facebook's security check, resulting in an instant massive drop of share rate.
Struggling to leverage the power of organic video marketing?
Video Marketers from businesses both small and large all want to leverage the power of video in a way that had never been possible before.
Marketers have already noticed that now is harder than ever to get organic traffic and viewer attention on YouTube.
It is because these days YouTube is full of videos from competitors all fighting for the same audience.
All those suggested videos that pop up all over the YouTube are serving as a vehicle to reach other videos including those of competitors, and are distraction resulting in rapidly diminishing both views and viewer engagement.
So what's the solution?
We are about to reveal the simplest yet most powerful video marketer's tool on the planet to make a social video marketer's life easier, help generate more leads, sales and save time.
But before we do that, it is worth to notice that recent studies have found that facebook video is receiving up to 20 times more exposure and engagement than just plain text or photo posts.
The same study has found out that 76% of people in the US who use Facebook say they tend to discover the videos they watch… on facebook.
So what does all of that mean?
It means a great business opportunity.
However, while Facebook is the #1 video marketing platform, which can be leveraged like it was never possible before, it cannot be done manually or with outdated software.
Unfortunately, without the right tool is very difficult to achieve massive results.
This is why we have created Social Video Spark software.
Social Video Spark is a result of the collective obsession to build up the most efficient and easy to use facebook video marketing, lead generation, and engagement platform.
A platform done by a team of people that have listened to customer feedback, measured viewer response, and built all that into the platform.
The Social Video Spark is, in many ways, the fusion of revolutionary social video action system and proprietary highly advanced marketing cloud technology.
Check out Social Video Spark in action.
The majority of Facebook video views happen on MOBILE.
Think sharing your YouTube videos on Facebook is the same as uploading them directly to the social network? Think again. A recent article on AdAge revealed the following: "Facebook's content-recommendation algorithm gives preference to its own video player when determining what content to show in people's news feeds…"
Facebook's earnings call revealed some surprising statistics about Facebook video that marketers should be planning around. After Mark Zuckerberg shared that Facebook now gets more than 3 billion video views daily, Sheryl Sandberg noted: "Today, over 50 percent of people in the U.S. who come to Facebook daily watch at least one video per day, and globally, over 65 percent of Facebook video views occur on mobile." (AdWeek)
Facebook videos can now be embed just like YouTube videos.
In March, Facebook announced a much-anticipated update to native video that allows users to embed videos posted by pages into blog posts and websites just like they can with YouTube videos.
This is a major blow to YouTube's preeminence in the video world, and makes it even clearer that Facebook is looking to take over as your go-to video provider.
Social media marketers should take advantage of this not only because it saves time, but also because it will contribute to your original video's views and comments, thus indicating to Facebook's algorithm that the content is engaging and should be given better ORGANIC REACH.
Here's Why Social Video Spark is the #1 Facebook Video Marketing Software

Everything in SVS is really easy to use, from the done for you templates, to the perfectly tailored scheduling system.
Great work! I'll keep using this for a long time to come."
Founder of Wildfireconcepts.com
"Being a video software developer myself, I'm able to zero in fairly quickly if the video product will benefit users and at the same time bring added value that they cannot get elsewhere.
The idea to be able to scrap videos from Youtube and Periscope (all legit by the way), edit them, add a intro and outro to brand them to my own liking, add a Call to Action at the end that is clickable, and then post it onto Facebook all in one sweep, it outrageously great. I give Social Video Spark a AAA+ rating. Well done!"
Video Marketing Expert – markdulisse.com
"As a video animator, I have been very focused on producing high quality and highly converting videos. Now marketing the videos I make is another arena that I need to be really good at which I don't need to bother anymore because Social Video Spark made video marketing easy for me.
Plus its now faster to create videos because there's a library of videos that I can choose from without wasting a lot of time of starting from scratch to create a traffic-generating video. Thanks a lot!"

Founder – IMBolt.com
"Social video spark lets you capitalise on the already proven success of viral videos and ethically reuse and monetise them for your own video marketing success. Best of all the software allows you to upload natively to Facebook, this is very important for 2 reasons.
1.Your new branded, monetised and proven viral video will show full size in the newsfeed and autoplay on scroll for a huge boost in eyeballs on your offer.
2. You can utilise Facebook's built in video call to action buttons for an added layer of familiarity and trust, plus these buttons show throughout your video..even on mobile! This is key to tap into the ever-increasing trend of mobile shopping and impose buying on the go.
I've not yet seen any video marketing app let you tap into the power of Facebook marketing like Social Video Spark allows you to do, and that's just a few of it's features…
If you're looking to make a killing selling goods through Facebook in time for the Holiday season and make the process easier than ever.. then Social Video Spark is for you."

How does Social Video Spark's Facebook Timeline Ranking work?
There are 3 main factors for facebook timeline visibility ranking algorithm, which give superior advantage by using combination of Social Video Spark and Facebook Native Video Player.
Facebook Native Video Player needs video file to be uploaded to facebook.
Factor 1: Facebook's algorithm favors native video.
Timeline rank visibility algorithm decides how often video is shown in timelines of other facebook users.
It means that video which is uploaded and hosted by facebook ranks higher in timeline rank visibility than video shared from youtube, vimeo or any external video player platform.
Factor 2: According to Facebook Earning Call, 65% video views happens on mobile devices. The only videos which autoplay on mobile devices are the videos which use Facebook native player.
It means that videos from Social Video Spark instantly have 65% more views.
Facebook's algorithm timeline rank visibility also takes to account how often videos are viewed, liked and shared.
So having 65% more views by default boosts timeline visibility rank with not just number of views but with more chance to be liked and shared.
Factor 3: Social Video Spark makes it possible to immediately share each video uploaded to one selected page with all your other fan pages and groups.
It does not upload to every individual page but shares videos.
It means that each video has as many shares as the user has selected fanpages and groups from the start.
This way, the video instantly starts strong, and with 65% more views and chances to be liked and shared (because of mobile autoplay), it allows for way better weight in Facebook timeline rank visibility algorithm.
This translates to even more video views in other users' timelines and way more traffic to website. On top of that, it helps create viral loops, which may short video to overdrive.
Factor 4: Freshness
We suggest to post new video every 1-2 days to keep momentum and traffic going. It takes 1-2 min of your time to do it with Social Video Spark.
Without the software, which does everything for you, here is what you would have to do manually for EVERY video: find viral yotube video with CC BY license, download that video to your computer from youtube using some software, fire up your video editor and make new project, import your intro/outro & main content videos to your video editor, import watermark image to your video editor and place it in the right spot and duration on top of your content video, wait for video editor to render your final video, upload that video manually to facebook to 1 page, wait for facebook to render video, and then manually share to each and every fanpage and group that you have (and you want to have at least tens of those).
It could easily take hours of your time to do exactly the same which could take you 1-2 min with Social Video Spark.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
your answer was would i like a thoro list of suggestions to assist you?
of course? did you send another response that I did not see?
i dont understand your question? I need help I want to do the right thing for my little grandson my husband is in denial always in life dont want any problems cant handle nothing always had all on my shoulders he was a good supporter but that was it dont bring him any problems.
he is a little angry and negative now and his responses to me are not as nice as they used to be and he yells at my grandson if he hears anything like this or i have to repremand my grandson he says he is spoiled and starts yelling at him and my grandson starts cursing and acting out???
and rebelling bad at him. and i have to get all lupset, i dont know how to control my husbands behavior ..i feel i get a lot from my grandson when im calm and talking and understanding he is quite the gentlemen and helpful little child.
sometimes he cant handle no! but i distract him and he listens and it works he does not like to be yelled out or screamed at he acts up worse,
the same as my son. but my husband is acting out and makes the behavior worse.
what do I do. Im sick its going to affect his life, today they label kids and they
start saying dysfuncional and all those behavioral treatments it scares me as i know he is fine with me / and does not need a lot of disapline. please help
Wow...you really have a lot going on in your life.
With the relationship with your husband: There is really nothing you can do or say to change his actions and beliefs. He seems to be set in his ways. He displaces his anger about other life events onto you which is not fair but that is his nature.
With the relationship with your son: He is an adult now. You have raised him. It is now his turn to be the parent even if you do not agree with his parenting style. It is true that he did not have a good role model of a dad growing up, but that was in the past. Your grandson is still young and there is hope that your so may change his parenting styles.
With the relationship with your daughter in law: Let her be the parent. Unless your son and daughter in law gave you specific directions to discuss the academic and behavior issues of your grandson at school, then do not try and fill their shoes.
With the relationship with your grandson: Continue to be the most loving grandmother that you can be. It sounds like your grandson means the world to you. Continue to do all of the things that make him happy to brighten his world.
Overall, I think that there are serious issues in the lifestyle of your grandson with regards XXXXX XXXXX home environment. It sounds like he is not getting the love , attention, respect, and care that he needs to emotionally thrive while at home. Therefore he will act out at home and it will in turn carry over into his relationships at school. He behaves well with you because he receives all that he needs. He is still young, but things must turn around in his home environment.
It is hard to change other people. We can only change ourselves. I would suggest that you seek professional counseling to learn coping and intervention strategies on how to deal with all of these issues. It seems like the only person who values your existence is your grandson. But you have been the glue that has held the family together.
If you have health insurance, call the customer service department and they can steer you in the right direction for counseling. You need a neutral source to discuss all of these issues with. It is just overwhelming to continue to live the way you are living.
If this has helped, please ACCEPT. BONUSES are appreciated as well for my efforts. Have a great day!!!

Solids and Constipation
My little one is now enjoying solids, but l am noticing that she is now suffering from constipation. I cook a variety of vegetables for her, but it does not seem to help. Should l add some form of fibre to the vegetables or in a drink form? and if so, can you recommend a good fibre supplement to buy. My baby is 11 months old and l can see she is hurting when she tries to have a number 2. Thanks everyone in advance.

I would keep a list of what foods she is eating during the day and when you notice that she is constipated.
Those foods that seemed to make her constipated, remove from her diet till she is older.
Id also make sure she is taking adequate amounts of breastmilk or formula. Some doctors recommend water. Please do check with her doctor to see what their recommendations are on water intake at 11 months old.
I do hope that you can figure out exactly what is causing her issue and it resolves quickly.

Teachers are being grilled about their car use by students in Norfolk.
School reporters from Northgate High School are interviewing teachers in the school car park after being inspired by the Budget announcements about green car taxes.
We are an eco-friendly school so my friend Kerry and I thought this would make a good story for us, says Charlotte, 14.
"The government is putting up car taxes for bigger cars.
Most teachers drive to school so we will be asking them if the changes will make a difference to them.
The school recently had a "Big Switch" week when they tried to switch off as many lights as possible.
In a hectic day, the students have been filming their stories as well as writing them up.
They also looked at the issue of cyber-bullying and of littering - prompted by a local story about a woman who had been fined for throwing an apple core out of her car window.
Emily said: "It's been a really good experience.
"I like the fact you can work on the cameras and to deadlines."
What are these?

Please send the recipe for Phillis Carey's Scalloped Potatoes With Boursin Cheese.
– Helen Trexel, San Diego
It never fails. Mention, no matter how fleetingly, a dish in an article, then don't provide the recipe, and watch the requests come out of the woodwork. In Arlyn Hackett's Dec. 10 story about a budget potluck party, his mention of Carey's cheesy potatoes sparked interest, with me leading the charge. I'm making them for New Year's Eve dinner.
This recipe, and other comfort-food dishes, can be found in Carey's new book, "Fast and Fabulous Entertaining Entrees," available at Great News! Cooking School in Pacific Beach.
Creamy Scalloped Potatoes With Boursin Cheese
6 servings
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold or white rose potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 large garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
5 ounces Boursin cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Use the 2 tablespoons butter to grease a 9-by-13-inch oval baking dish. Slice potatoes into 18-inch slices. This works best with a mandolin or the 2-millimeter slicing blade on the food processor.
Place broth and cream in a 5-quart pot. Add potatoes and garlic; bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until potatoes are barely tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.
Transfer half the potato mixture to prepared dish. Dot potatoes with Boursin cheese and top with remaining potato mixture. Bake for 15 minutes and reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Continue baking until top browns lightly and sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
(From Phillis Carey)

My wife and I stayed a week in late September. All the managers and staff were helpful AND professional. Checked in when David was at the desk and he started things right by calling me " Young Man " I am a grandpa and have not been called that in YEARS. : ). Dobri and Nala were also really helpful front desk folks.The room price was a LOT cheaper than most of the places we stayed on our trip out from Arkansas. The people that cleaned our room for us were very good, in and out fast and done right. I saved the best for last. Eva the lady that made breakfast everyday was a TREAT to start the day with. ALWAYS happy, smiling and just plain fun to talk to. If you are lucky she just might have her harmonica with her and play you a tune. : )
Peace be with ya'll.

David Munene wa Kimberly
My Easter Grief - Poem by David Munene wa Kimberly
That I feel the pain Christ felt when I wasn't there
Yet I feel not the pain that I inflict on my neighbor when s/he's here
That I am going to be feasting
Yet the street families will have no one to them be visiting
That I have a job I don't like
Yet the my MPs want a pay hike
That I find fault in the Pharisees and Sadducees – whom I never met
Yet I am burdening others with faults I have set
That I think Pilate should have stood his ground
Yet I almost worship my superiors when they are around
That I feel Peter never meant his words when he promised to die for Jesus
Yet I have denied him discipleship without expecting a reverse
That I feel Barnabus should never have been released
Yet I want forgiveness when God is displeased
That I feel the apostles were just cowards
Yet I have escaped physical pain and ran on soul destruction towards
That I am so concerned about the global economic crisis
Yet I don't mind the global injustice that by day rises
That I am worried about global warming
Yet I have deforested and polluted without warning
That I don't have this or that
Yet the little I have can't share even with a rat
That I am about these and much more a bit worried
Yet I don't do anything to keep myself from getting worried.

This is not a secret that Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most hyped and anticipated games of this generation. A game which is set to break records and define the meaning of "gaming". (Yeah, suck it, Call of Duty!) *No offence intended, well maybe just a little...*
Hideo Kojima is the legendary game developer who introduced the world to his epic stealth-action Metal Gear games (who defined the "stealth", as well as making one of the most interesting plots in the history of gaming. To get a compliment from this person is a one-of-kind achievement that any developer in would like to get, and apparently our beloved Rockstar Games received that kind of award.
However, Kojima seems to be "depressed" (in his word) due to this. If you guys don't know, Kojima is currently working on the next chapter of Metal Gear: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which is set to show a "new breed of stealth" gameplay.
- "GTA V" new trailer was awesome! This free control is future of the game, way higher than anywhere, makes me depress as matter fact.
Kojima really enjoyed the Gameplay Trailer of GTAV, praising the free control as the "future of gaming", and that it will be "higher than anywhere". However, he stated that it made him depressed.
- I don't think our "V" can reach that level. Rockstar's team are the best. W/o question they will pull up the possibility of game.
He's afraid that their "V" won't be as the same level as GTA V (but in my eyes, both games are worth to be called "masterpiece"). He continues praising Rockstar, calling their team "the best".
This is not the first time MGS and GTA are released "back to back" (if I may say it). Back in 2001, GTAIII was released alongside Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (both which are fucking awesome). Then in 2004 we had San Andreas and MGS3: Sanke Eater (the latter which is on my top 5 plots in gaming). In 2006, we even had two PSP titles, one for GTA, and one for MGS. And we can't forget 2008, where we had two mega AAA games, GTAIV and MGS4: Guns of Patriots.
So guys, what do you think, which game will top who?

Greetings! I tried originally to use plain regexp, but there were a number of desired features that influenced the switch over to pregexp. Unfortunately, there did not appear to be any documentation that jumped out at me while doing the work to say that one library had a performance advantage, and I hadn't gotten far enough with the original implementation to compare.

Mets All-Time Bad ContractsJuly 30, 2012
One Response to Mets All-Time Bad Contracts
I would like to add Moises Alou to that list although at the time of his signing his age (40) was a big question as well as his knees. In two seasons with the Mets he only appeared in 102 games and although when he was playing he played hard (13 homeruns/58 RBI and a BA of .342) the money spent on him could have been used on younger players who could have contributed more. Also, even though I liked him, Cliff Floyd gave us only 1 really great season. The problem with signing free agents llike Floyd, Alou, Sheffield, and Vaughn is that you are always taking a big gamble when you sign them (age and propensity for injury) and you never quite know what you are going to get.

House Republican leaders have signed on to spend up to $3 million to keep defending the Defense of Marriage Act in court, according to a copy of their newly revised legal contract obtained by The Huffington Post.
House Republican leaders took over the legal defense of DOMA in the spring of 2011, when Attorney General Eric Holder announced the Obama administration would no longer defend it on the grounds that they found it unconstitutional. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders hired attorneys at the law firm Bancroft LLC to represent the House in court cases involving the federal ban on gay marriage -- all with taxpayer dollars.
On Jan. 4, Rep. Candice Miller (R-Mich.), who chairs the House Administration Committee, signed a revised contract with Bancroft LLC that increases the spending cap to $3 million to allow Bancroft attorneys to keep defending DOMA in various court cases. The revised contract also bears the signatures of Bancroft partner Paul Clement and Kerry Kircher, general counsel for the House of Representatives.

This disorder is characterized by a chronic, fluctuating mood disturbance with many periods of hypomanic symptoms. This disturbance must exist for at least 2 years' duration, and is categorized by periods of depression alternating with periods of hypomania, and normal moods in between.
- In children the period of duration is one year with any symptom free intervals lasting no longer than 2 months.
- Cyclothymic Disorder or cyclothymia often begins early in life and may sometimes be considered to reflect a temperamental predisposition to other Mood Disorders -- especially Bipolar disorder.
- It usually develops in adolescence or early adult life.
Differential Diagnosis
A substance-induced mood disorder is distinguished from cyclothymia by the fact that a substance is required to be related to the mood disturbance.
Bipolar I Disorder with rapid cycling may resemble cyclothymia because of the frequent marked shifts in mood. However the DSM IV distinguishes the mood states in cyclothymia as lacking in the full criteria for a major depressive, manic or mixed episode disorder.

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian Take the Boys to Jinky's Cafe
Starting the day off right, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian took his kids to Jinky's Cafe for breakfast in Studio City, CA today (August 1).
The country crooner kept it casual with a sleeveless shirt, worn blue jeans, and sandals while her man wore a simple gray t-shirt, khaki shorts, and slip-on shoes. Nine-year-old Mason and five-year-old Jake wore blue t-shirts and plaid shorts.
Hopefully the 29-year-old songstress ate something soft for breakfast as she's been going through dental distress lately.
On July 23, Leann underwent root canal surgery and kept her Twitter followers apprised of all the details. On Wednesday (July 25) she tweeted, "O-M-G i got 3 shots in the roof of my mouth & 1 INSANE shot directly into the half dead half ALIVE nerve through the hole he drilled on the backside of my tooth."
Though a little nervous for the ordeal, on Sunday (July 29) the blonde beauty tweeted, "Going into an 8 hr surgery tmrw.....beyond anxious. Thank goodness for a rocking Anesthesiologist :)."
Finally, on Monday (July 30) she gave the all clear, tweeting, "Out of surgery!!!! All is well. My whole face is numb and I'm starving....bad combo. Thx for all your prayers."
Taking it easy in bed, the recovering star shared, "Yesterday evening's fun....Mac & Cheese, an ice pack and online shopping.....bad combo lol" with a photo of her laptop and bowl of goodness.
She better recover quickly though, as the talented performer goes under the knife again. "[M]ore surgery, minor though. :)"
