Coming Soon
The traditional Hawaiian practice of weaving hala (pandanus, Pandanus techtorius) has been a cultural force throughout time, from its functional roots in precontact Polynesia to its widespread recognition today as a celebrated visual art form. On March 28th, Bishop Museum will unveil Nani I Ka Hala: Weaving Hawai'i, an original exhibition that addresses the vital need to collect, share, and perpetuate this tradition as part of Hawai'i's heritage and vibrant living culture.
The beauty and significance of hala is woven throughout our history and throughout this exhibit. In ancient times, the sails of voyaging canoes were plaited of hala, and utilitarian hala baskets and mats were commonplace. The introduction of foreign items that replaced Hawai'i-made mats and baskets encouraged weavers to further their creativity, leading to a distinctive and truly exquisite Hawaiian style of hala hats that are coveted and treasured as fine art.
Come walk through the stories, the beauty, and the wisdom of ulana lau hala in Nani I Ka Hala: Weaving Hawai'i, on exhibit in the J. M. Long Gallery from March 28 through July 26, 2015.
On Exhibit
This Spring, over a dozen life-like animatronic dinosaurs will stomp and roar at Bishop Museum in the exciting and interactive family exhibit Dinosaurs Unleashed. The exhibit will be on display in Castle Memorial Building from Feb. 28 to Sept. 7, 2015.
Visitors will marvel at replicas of some of the fearsome giant reptiles of the Mesozoic. They will learn about the Maiasaura — "caring mother lizard" — with her baby and a nest of eggs. Of course, the ever-popular "tyrant lizard," Tyrannosaurus rex, will thrill children of all ages.
Interactive stations and activities will highlight how these animals flourished in their respective environments. Hands-on learners and aspiring paleontologists will have the opportunity to test their mettle in a dinosaur dig, create colorful bone imprints, and control a robotic dinosaur skeleton, just like those featured in the exhibit!
December 12, 2014 - March 16, 2015
Long Gallery
For 125 years, Bishop Museum has chronicled life in the Hawaiian Islands. Over that time we've seen tremendous changes to Hawai'i, our people, our cultures, our environment, and our place in a global society.
In this exhibit, explore how everyday life in Hawai'i has changed since Bishop Museum was founded in 1889. Some changes have been for the worse and some for the better, and the future holds still more changes that will inevitably transform this place and the people who call it home.
The emphasis of the exhibit will be the common lived experience of life in the Islands. Rather than create a linear chronological sequence through the period, the exhibit will examine change thematically, with more than a dozen large graphics panels exploring topics like Communication, Work Life, and Transportation.
Each topic area will let visitors explore deeper with interactive stations:
- vote for a new state fruit for Hawai'i (unofficial)
- test your knowledge of local sports history
- tune a radio to stations from each decade of recorded music
- eavesdrop on a party line conversation when you use our antique phone
- test your penmanship on our magic slate
- predict what you think the next 125 years might bring to Hawai'i
- see local landmarks "then and now"

Tradition and Transition: Stories of Hawai'i Immigrants
Fall 2011 - Spring 2015
Castle Hall's second floor gallery features special treasured stories in focus cases, a timeline of Hawaiian history, video stations, and significant artifacts and document to relay the history of Japanese in Hawai'i.
Inspiring stories abound when the discussion centers on the challenges faced by immigrants coming to a new homeland. Tradition and Transition, Stories of Hawai'i Immigrants presents these and celebrates the diversity brought by all ethnic groups who contribute to the economic strength and cultural multiplicity of Hawai'i.

For children, a Pā'ani Place is for kids to learn about multi-ethnic playthings and pastimes.
The hallway adjacent to the main exhibition gallery is Ho'olaulea Hall, filled with large photomurals, hanging celebratory items, and smaller exhibit cases that focus on multiethnic celebrations.
At the end of the Ho'olaulea Hall, will be Ho'okipa Parlor, a recreation of the interior of a plantation home living room, welcoming visitors who wish to sit a while and browse books on various local ethnic traditions or watch some old news reels of plantation-era Hawai'i.
Tradition and Transition: Stories of Hawai'i's Immigrants is funded by generous gifts from the Atsuhiko & Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation and Hawai'i Imin Shiryo Hozon Kai.

While this snap judgment may seem shallow, scientists are defending the results, saying that males are simply following "ancient" genetic preferences to date attractive females and see beauty as a cue of fertility.
Professor Mark van Vugt and Dr Johanna van Hooff of the University of Amsterdam revealed that men's survival instinct draws them to women with a pretty face because they are more likely to "carry on their line".
"Men definitely have the most wandering eye but it is because they have evolved to pay attention to cues of fertility and one of those cues is facial beauty - it's not that men are shallow", Professor van Vugt said.
Women on the other hand don't base their decisions on looks, but focus on traits such as commitment, a good personality, and the ability to be a good provider.
Van Vugt also said that women need more proof as to whether a man is a good mate, stating that they "make their decision much later than men".

Beecham Group
Industry | Pharmaceuticals |
Fate | Merged with SmithKline Beckman |
Successor | SmithKline Beecham (now GlaxoSmithKline) |
Founded | 1859 |
Defunct | 1989 |
Headquarters | London, United Kingdom |
Products | Phenethicillin, Methicillin |
The Beecham Group plc was a British pharmaceutical company. It was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. Beecham, after having merged with SmithKline Beckman to become SmithKline Beecham, merged with Glaxo Wellcome to become GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). GSK still uses the Beechams brand name in the UK for its over-the-counter cold and flu relief products.[1]
This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. (February 2015) |
Beecham was the family business of Thomas Beecham (1820–1907), a chemist. He was the grandfather of the conductor also named Thomas Beecham (1879–1961). As a boy, he worked as a shepherd, selling herbal remedies as a sideline. He then started as a travelling salesman or peddler.
Their first product was Beecham's Pills, a laxative, in 1842.[2] Subsequent success enabled him to open a shop in Wigan in 1847.[3]
Beecham opened its first factory in St. Helens, Lancashire, for the rapid production of medicines in 1859.[2] Under Thomas' son, Sir Joseph Beecham, 1st Baronet (1848–1916), the business expanded, but remained a patent medicine company and engaged in little research.
Beecham bought companies for various products, acquiring the Lucozade glucose drink and Macleans to its products in 1938 and, at the same time, introducing the Ribena blackcurrant drink.[4] By buying the company manufacturing Brylcreem the following year, it added hair products for men.[2]
In 1943, it decided to focus more on improving its research and built Beecham Research Laboratories.[2] In 1945, the company was named Beecham Group Ltd.[2]
In 1945, Beecham Research Laboratories Ltd. operated from Brockham Park, Surrey.
In the 1950s to 1960s, Beecham, in consort with Bristol-Myers, developed penicillin derivatives: first phenethicillin, then the more potent methicillin (Celbenin). Later, these were followed by ampicillin, cloxacillin and others, as the group focused on pharmaceutical development.
In 1953, it bought C.L. Bencard, which specialised in allergy vaccines.[2]
In 1959, Brockham Park became famous when Beecham scientists there discovered the penicillin nucleus, 6-APA (6-aminopenicillanic acid);[5] this discovery allowed the synthesis of a number of new semisynthetic penicillins. In 1959, Beecham marketed Broxil (phenethicillin), followed shortly by Celbenin (methicillin), which is active against Staphylococcus aureus.
In 1961, Penbritin (ampicillin) hit the market, and soon Beecham's facilities were inadequate for the worldwide demand. A 35-acre (140,000 m2) complex at Worthing came on line in the early 1960s to produce phenethicillin, followed by 6-APA, the base for semisynthetic penicillins.
In 1971 the S. E. Massengill Company was acquired.
In 1972, Beecham launched Amoxil (amoxicillin), which went on to become one of the most widely prescribed antibiotics.[2]
In 1973, the Aquafresh toothpaste is launched.
In 1977, the Sucrets brand is acquired.
In 1981, Augmentin, an antibiotic used to treat an array of bacterial infections, was introduced.[2]
In 1982, the Aqua Velva and Geritol brands were acquired from J. B. Williams.
In 1986, the Beecham Group sold its numerous soft drink brands including Tango, Top Deck, Corona, Quosh, as well as the UK franchises for Pepsi and 7 Up, to Britvic.[6] The same year, Beecham acquired Norcliff Thayer, the makers of Tums, Oxy, and Avail.
In 1989, The Beecham Group plc and SmithKline Beckman merged to form SmithKline Beecham plc.[2]
In 2000, SmithKline Beecham and GlaxoWellcome merged to form GlaxoSmithKline.[7]
A history of the company, Beechams, 1848–2000: From Pills to Pharmaceuticals, written by Thomas Anthony Buchanan Corley, was published in 2011.

Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) is a member of the House Committee on Education and Labor, a committee with jurisdiction over health care legislation. Grijalva is also a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus as well as the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC). The CPC supports inclusion of a strong public option as a part of health care reform.
Today, the Congressman generously granted me an interview.
Kathleen Wells: As a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, do you believe the President's speech last night was strong enough in supporting the public option as part of health care reform?
Congressman Grijalva: I think the expectations were such that the fact that it was mentioned and it was a component that had to be part of the reform is important. It keeps us in the fight. I think it would have been disastrous if he would have not mentioned it and basically given it away. Then our struggle, both internally and externally, would have been that much more difficult.
But having said that, by not defining what he believes the public option to be, he [President Obama] leaves it open for this struggle to go on. Many of us wanted it to be more definitive. It must be based on Medicare, Medicare-like, Medicare network, no trigger, no co-opts as a phony replacement for a public plan. That didn't happen. But it keeps our momentum going and obviously we are going to continue to push the point of what we believe a defined public plan should be and why it has to be part of the package in order to pass Congress.
Kathleen Wells: So, the pledge that you signed for a robust and strong public option?
Congressman Grijalva: It's active.
Kathleen Wells: It's active. You are still holding firm to that pledge?
Congressman Grijalva: I am, and I think there's been some slippage; no question
Kathleen Wells: Can you be more specific when you say "slippage?"
Congressman Grijalva: There are some members that now say a trigger is not the death knell for a public plan. I disagree with that. But generally speaking, I think the Progressive Caucus has grown up and I think we are very committed to the fact that we have to have that.
Kathleen Wells: This trigger mechanism is off the table for you entirely?
Congressman Grijalva: Yes. It hasn't been defined, but the way it's been defined by others it is dependent on what the private insurance companies are doing. Do they satisfy the needs of the uninsured, working families and working poor and if they don't, then it will trigger a public option. Well, you know, if working off government subsidies, of course there is going to be an effort. If the gauge is going to be when the insurance companies self-certify themselves that they have passed this, that they can't meet the needs of the American people (which has already been proven and I don't know why we need another five years to find that out), then that would trigger the public plan. Well, that effectively says it won't happen.
That's my problem with the trigger, fundamentally, is that it is dependent on whether or not the private insurance companies do their job. So, you are delaying something for more than five years. You are actually delaying it for 10 years and waiting. And even if it were triggered at the end of 10 years, I think our system would be in such stress that a public plan would not have a chance to develop or get strong or to really compete with these companies.
Kathleen Wells: The President's speech also mentioned exchanges. Can you elaborate on that?
Congressman Grijalva: Everybody would have to go into a health exchange where there would be choices available, primarily dominated by the private insurance companies. We want the public plan to be part of that choice, the exchange for the American people. The insurance companies are fine with the exchange as long as they dominate it. In most places, the concentrated enrollment is one or two companies, three at the most, four that have the market place. In Alabama, there is one private insurance company that has 90 percent of all the enrollees.
Kathleen Wells: The President did mention that in his speech.
Congressman Grijalva: Yes, and so without a public option, how are you going to compete? How are you going to control premiums? You aren't going to be able to do that and we want the public option to be part of that health insurance exchange that Americans can have access to.
Kathleen Wells: Explain to me the characterization of the public option being a government take-over.
Congressman Grijalva: That's one of the disappointments that we should have known from the play book of the past -- that this was going to be socialized medicine, and government control of your insurance and health care. It's a tried and true tactic, up to this point, to misinform, develop a sense of fear among the American people of what is pending is bad for them. Politically, it's Congress not wanting to take the risk. That's the play book and it's getting played again and we should have known that we are going to have serious opposition here. It's nice to talk about bipartisanship and consensus, but it takes two parties to be part of a consensus process. Right now, Democrats seems to be conceding and yet no consensus is occurring. I don't anticipate we will ever have a real bipartisan bill and so Democrats might as well buckle down and start to craft together what is going to be best and take control of it.
Kathleen Wells: Senator Baucus' Finance Committee just recently released a draft of his bill and it has a mandate for individual coverage, but it doesn't include a public option.
Congressman Grijalva: See, first of all, the Baucus plan is so tainted by the conflict of interest of many of his staff and committee staff that are former WellPoint, and many insurance advisors and lobbyists. I consider that a tainted plan. That plan is essentially written by industry. So, the fact that it doesn't have a public option doesn't surprise me. The fact it talks about additional cuts in support for poor people in terms of Medicare and other things doesn't surprise me at all.
It's the Health Committee one that I'm looking at and what comes out of there and what we can get out of the House and then go into conference. I think it is a mistake for House leadership to wait for the Senate to do whatever they are going to do, because that is going to be a much lower denominator than what we are going to do. We have to set the bar high and if we are going to negotiate with the Senate, negotiate from a position of a higher bar and a stronger public option [rather] than wait around for the Senate to do what I anticipate they will do -- it will be a very weak product.
Kathleen Wells: Do you think that strategy will be implemented?
Congressman Grijalva: That's what we are urging our leadership to do. The House should take care of the House's version, which I believe will be stronger. And then when we negotiate with the Senate, we do it from a position of strength, as opposed to negotiating at the lowest common denominator.
Kathleen Wells: During his speech last night, the President stated that in his health care reform plan undocumented immigrants would not be covered. Yet, Congressman Joe Wilson yelled out that the President was lying. Can you give us your response, especially in light of the fact that you are a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus as well as the Congressional Progressive Caucus?
Congressman Grijalva: First of all, you have to set the backdrop for Congressman Wilson yelling out, "You lie." [It was] a very bushleague action on his part. But the backdrop is that part of the political strategy in defeating health care reform is to blame everything on illegals. The undocumented are not the reason why the cost of health care is so high -- it's American citizens and permanent residents that have no insurance that are driving that cost up. It is insurance companies that set premiums so high on American citizens without consideration. So, to blame, scapegoat that population has been a political tool that has been used by the Republicans now for eight years running. Until we do immigration reform the right way, it is going to continue to be the scapegoat and the kid you beat every time you have a political issue.
The fact of the matter is there are some not good things in this [bill]. The double jeopardy issue to me is very important. If you are a legal, permanent resident -- [meaning] you went through the whole process and adjusted your status, so that you are legal and permanent, you must still wait five years before you can receive any benefits. That, to me, is double jeopardy. You are taking a person that has gone from undocumented status to a permanent legal status and then you are making them illegal again by making them wait five years. I think that is wrong. It is more an anti-immigrant fervor that is out there than it has anything to do with health care.
So in throwing everything they can at this health reform, it is inevitable that you are going to have the issue of abortion thrown at health reform. You are going to have the issue of undocumented thrown at health reform. You are going to have the issue of socialism thrown against health reform. It's a play book that is used over and over again. It's disingenuous, to say the least, unethical and not based on any truth, any data or any fact.
Kathleen Wells: How should immigration reform look?
Congressman Grijalva: Comprehensive. Deal with the legalization process for the people that are here, that are clean. By clean, I mean legally clean. No criminal records, no problems, working and can justify that; the unification of families so we don't split families and security is always going to be part of it. If we are going to have reform, let's make it comprehensive. Let's not piecemeal it. This issue is not going to go away and it is going to continue to be a social fabric issue or this country is going to be more and more divisive, as time goes on. We just saw in the health care debate what we are talking about by Wilson's outburst.

CHICAGO -- An Amtrak train plowed into the back of a freight train and crushed one end of a boxcar under its wheels Friday, seriously injuring at least 14 people. Most of the 187 passengers walked away unhurt.
Passengers were hurled into the seats in front of them in the accident on the city's South Side, and four people had to be pulled from the front of the train, where the engine was located, authorities said.
Five people were reported in critical condition, nine were in serious condition, and about 30 others were treated for bumps and bruises, though Fire Commissioner Raymond Orozco said he expected that number to rise to about 50.
The cause of the wreck was not immediately known.
The damage to the passenger train was mostly to its engine, where some of the six Amtrak workers aboard were, authorities said. It was unclear how many of them were hurt. The train's three double-decker passenger cars remained upright.
No one was in the portion of the Norfolk Southern freight train that was struck, and neither of the two workers aboard was hurt.
Amtrak passengers, many of them carrying winter coats and luggage, streamed off the train with the help of rescue workers.
Some held the hands of children; others were taken away on stretchers and backboards.
Coert Vanderhill, 60, of Holland, Mich., said the train was approaching the station at 15 to 20 mph when the engine "just ran right up the tail end" of the freight train.
"Everybody just hit the seat in front of them," he said.
Vanderhill, who had come to Chicago to visit his children, had a small cut on his nose and said he and most of the other passengers were "walking wounded."
The Amtrak train was en route from Grand Rapids, Mich., to Chicago. The freight train was traveling from Elizabeth, N.J., to Chicago.
Norfolk Southern spokesman Rudy Husband said he had no details about what caused the accident or what the freight train was carrying.
Amtrak spokesman Derrick James said it was unclear which train was in the wrong place. He said Amtrak shares the track with Norfolk Southern, which owns it. He also said he did not know if the freight train was moving or stationary when it was struck.
James said Amtrak was awaiting information from an event recorder, a device similar to the black boxes on airliners. The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators.
James said of particular interest is what the signals were before the Amtrak train got to the spot where the collision occurred.
Police Superintendent Dana Starks said the accident was recorded by a camera on a nearby post and the footage would be turned over to investigators.

The NY Post explains that sausage pizza isn't very popular anymore.
"It's fallen off over the past 10, 15 years," says Pozzuoli. "Thirty years ago, I would order 30 to 40 pounds of sausage a week. Now, I order very little. Two or three pounds."
When asked why he thinks the topping fell out of favor, even as its cousin, the pepperoni slice, remains popular, this old-school pizzaiolo can only shrug and guess.
"I wish I knew," he says. "Sausage is more fat. Many people don't eat fat [anymore]."
Arugula? That doesn't even sound appetizing.
A team of anthropologists from Colombia University has identified 43 new species of weirdos in the NYC subway.
DePalio suggested that the reason some weirdo species had not been identified in the past was because they emerge only briefly to forage for food, money, or anonymous sex. For instance, the intoxicated transvestite, with its vibrant leopard-print coat and pink feather plumage, is said to only be observable for a short period after the clubs in Chelsea have closed, while the Thai grandmother in a sun visor selling pirated DVDs is visible for just seconds at a time.
The reason why The Onion is so good is because it is a smidgen away from the truth.
Time gives us several photos from Christopher Morris of the NYC subway from 1981.
The images that emerged from his months-long project show subway cars being tagged, and stations covered in dirt and grime, but we also see commuters going about their business — reading newspapers, listening to music — beneath advertisements for vacation deals and aspirin.
The NYC MTA MetroCard is 20 years old today.
Customers, who for decades had simply dropped a token into the slot on top of the turnstile, had to familiarize themselves with a new method of entry. Using the MetroCard required riders to master the swipe. Not too slow, not too fast and don't lift too early. Some likened it to delivering a punch to the gut.
After 20 years I still can't swipe correctly when a train is in or entering the station. Works every time when there's no train nearby. Typical.
Speaking of the NYC subway, here's a slow-mo movie of the people standing on the platform while a train is entering the station.
How do you think that book got on top of that electrical(?) box in between two subway tracks?
My first thought is that someone dropped their book onto the tracks while waiting for the train and gave up on it. Later, someone from the MTA was in the tracks cleaning something up or working on something, found it, and instead of throwing it out, picked it up to give away or read later. However, if that was the case, wouldn't they place the book on the platform rather than on that rather inaccessible box?
My new theory is that a track worker was using that book, either as a log book or as a reference guide, placed it there while they needed two hands for something, and forgot it was there.
Update: The book has disappeared.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has ruled that the big metal antenna-looking thing at the top of One World Trade Center is not an antenna but, in fact, a spire. The ruling makes the height of the building 1,776 feet, 325 feet taller than Chicago's Willis Tower, which makes 1WTC the tallest building in the US.
The bragging rights to America's tallest tower became clouded over a design decision last year to remove from an architectural shell for the mast, leaving behind steel beams and maintenance platforms that weren't meant to be seen. At the time the building's lead designer, David Childs, criticized the decision.
Glad that got settled.
SLO Architecture made a giant floating sphere made from discarded umbrella spines and plastic bottles.
The designers call it the "physical revelation of the city's accumulated water-borne debris." Schachter and Levi harvested 450 seasonally discarded storm-snapped umbrellas from the city's sidewalks and trashcans to build the dome, one of the most beautiful and abstract structural forms an architect can make.
I don't know why, but I really enjoyed the fact that the first one floated to Riker's Island and was quickly destroyed.
Artist Gus Petro merged photographs of the Grand Canyon and NYC.
In this project two opposite places are merged into one: New York City, where, it seems like, everyone wants to live there, and Grand Canyon / Death Valley, which are unlivable.
I love the last photo.

Dundee United received a boost ahead of this afternoon`s clash with Aberdeen at Pittodrie, as news came through from Fir Park.
Craig Levein`s side are currently locked in a battle for 3rd top place in the SPL and the UEFA Cup place that goes with it, along with SPL rivals Motherwell and Hibernian.
This weekend, Motherwell hosted league leaders Celtic at Fir Park, even managing to take a 1-0 lead through a 60th minute Chris Porter header.
However, Celtic stepped up a gear after Porter`s opener and took just 1-minute and 20-seconds to find an equaliser.
A great touch by Shunsuke Nakamura just inside the corner of the Motherwell penalty area, was followed by an inch perfect cross to the backpost, where top-scorer Scott McDonald headed home a 62nd minute equaliser.
Then, former Dundee United captain Barry Robson didn`t old club a huge favour, by curling in a fantastic corner to the far post, allowing Georgios Samaras to guide the ball past Luke Daniels in the 'well goal.
Celtic were lucky to have won the corner, after TV coverage proved that Bobo Balde had been the last player to touch the ball before it went out.
Although, Celtic caught the home defence knapping and capitalised on the corner, earning themselves a 2-1 victory.
The result means that Dundee United can return to 3rd spot in the SPL, if they beat Aberdeen at Pittodrie this afternoon.
However, Jimmy Calderwood`s side believe they can still take 3rd spot themselves, since a win over United would put them only 3 points behind Motherwell.
Tomorrow afternoon, Hibernian play host to UEFA Cup finalists Rangers at Easter Road.
If that result goes Rangers way, then it could be an even better weekend for Craig Levein's side.
Will Dundee United be able to take advantage of Motherwell`s slip up, by beating Aberdeen this afternoon?
Or will Aberdeen take a giant leap towards an unlikely 3rd place finish?
We await with interest......

Congolese leader Denis Sassou Nguesso on Monday said France's justice system had no right to probe his alleged ill-gotten gains, following a meeting with French counterpart Francois Hollande.
"What we would like to recall is the principle to which we all subscribe on the international level, which is non-interference in internal affairs," Republic of Congo President Sassou Nguesso told journalists on a trip to France.
Two Parisian prosecutors have been investigating the conditions under which numerous luxury assets were acquired in France by Sassou Nguesso, as well as Gabon's late president Omar Bongo and Equatorial Guinea leader Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
These are believed to include French Riviera and Parisian residences and fleets of cars.
The probe was triggered by a suit filed in 2008 by non-governmental organisations Sherpa and Transparency International France, calling for an investigation in the matter.
Sassou Nguesso said Monday that the principle of non-interference should be "respected so that French justice does not feel it has the right to deal with matters that relate to the internal affairs of other states".
Asked by a journalist whether he had lost any sleep over the affair, the leader of the oil-rich central African country -- who held more than an hour of talks with Hollande -- replied, "Certainly not!"
The lawyer for Transparency International, meanwhile, blasted Sassou Nguesso for embodying "a caricature of kleptocracy, of a rich head of state that leads a poor country."
"It's not about non-interference but about putting into practice French and international law," William Bourdon said.

The literature on social support within dyadic intimate relationships raises a seeming paradox: The availability of support tends to reduce distress, but its actual receipt is often unhelpful and at times engenders feelings of inadequacy, indebtedness, and inequity—unintended but potent side effects of the support transaction. Our review organizes this literature in order to solve the apparent paradox. Specifically, we theorize that, because support attempts are often unskilled and miscarried, they lead to greater costs than benefits. We identify four ways in which dyadic support can be unskillful, ways pertaining to its timing, content, process, or reciprocation. We suggest that when these are addressed, support can regain its intended goals of enhancing dyadic coping, reducing stress, and strengthening relationships.

Source: Kobe Bryant weighs options
Contrary to media reports in China, Kobe Bryant has not yet committed to sign with the Shanxi team that recently employed Stephon Marbury, according to a source close to the situation.
"Kobe has not agreed with any team on anything. He is conducting due diligence and weighing various options," the source told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.
Overseas Player Tracker
Which players are planning to make the move overseas? Check out our chart for the latest info.
• Overseas tracker: Going abroad?
Earlier Thursday, according to Chinese news reports, Shanxi Zhongyu owner Wang Xing Jiang said that the Los Angeles Lakers star had agreed to signing terms with Shanxi and would start practicing with the team Oct. 1.
Bryant also has been heavily courted by the Turkish team Besiktas that has signed New Jersey's Deron Williams to play in Istanbul during the ongoing NBA lockout.
It remains to be seen whether locked-out NBA players will even be allowed to play in China during the coming season. Chinese Basketball Association officials have been meeting this week to strongly consider enacting a rule that would forbid Chinese clubs from offering NBA players contracts with opt-out clauses should the lockout end.
No binding decision from the CBA is expected before a scheduled session Friday. Yet such a rule could effectively rule out China as an option for locked-out NBA players who are not free agents. FIBA, basketball's world governing body, recently mandated that any NBA player under contract who signs abroad during the lockout must make a signed declaration to return to the NBA as soon as the work stoppage ends.
Bryant, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dirk Nowitzki are among the NBA stars who have publicly declared their interest in at least exploring their options in China.
But the rule, if passed and enforced as expected, would outlaw NBA escape clauses for anyone who signs a contract in China.
More on the Lakers

ESPN.com reported earlier this month that Nike was urging its biggest names that if they play anywhere during the lockout, to do so in China, presumably because of the marketing riches that are believed to be available in NBA-mad Asia. Nike is also a corporate sponsor of the Chinese league.
One source with knowledge of the CBA's thinking told ESPN.com earlier this month that the proposed rule had a strong chance of being passed.
The source said that Chinese decision-makers -- who are generally government officials, as opposed to basketball people -- want no part of a "circus" that sees a wave of NBA stars swooping in during an Olympic year to divert the focus of the league away from China's own players, then leave at once if the lockout is lifted.
Sina Sports recently quoted a source saying: "The CBA isn't the NBA's backyard. If we didn't make a rule about players playing here temporarily, then they'd all just leave in the middle of the season. That would affect our season greatly."
If the rule passes, barnstorming tours could prove to be the only feasible Chinese option available to the NBA's biggest names during the lockout.

Hello all, I am new to brewing and ran into an issue today. I am a little over a week into my first attempt at a grape wine, I tried adding a little bit of sugar today and BOOM it started erupting What is the best way to adding more sugar to the mix without repainting my ceiling?
Put all the sugar in at the start.
Just because something CAN ferment, does not mean it SHOULD be fermented.
During fermentation CO2 is produced, before adding extra sugars blow off some of the gas by agitation or stirring. Or simply add slowly.
Ok, I will be racking tonight and will try to make sure i release as much co2 as I can before adding the sugar water. I really hope its more subtle this time.
Another way is to put the sugar in first and rack the wine onto it. I suggest adding only a fraction and then stirring and then adding the rest of the wine.

High Line
Overview of Phase 2
What Houzz contributors are saying:
Natalie Myers added this to Garden Inspiration From New York's New High Line
The new second section of the park doubles its green space and connects three neighborhoods. The mix of live greenery, concrete, rusted metal and warm wood provides an artful color palette to the backdrop of the city.
Annie Thornton added this to Can-Do Design Ideas From 8 City Gardens
6. Make the journey fun. When you're walking along New York City's High Line, it's easy to forget that this elevated park is also an urban thoroughfare. Native plantings and spaces to linger in make this more than a pedestrian path; it's a memorable journey. See more of the High Line
