I'm happy to report that the Cloud Power GR event went off without a hitch this past week. We had a pretty decent turnout, although the unexpected snow storm that morning did not help attendance wise. The event was hosted this past Tuesday at Grand Valley State University's Eberhard Center in downtown Grand Rapids MI.
Cloud Power GR 2013 featured six different presentations on a wide variety of technical and non-technical aspects of how cloud computing can help businesses reduce IT cost and increase productivity. The morning started off with the audience hearing about trends and changes to Microsoft's Cloud platform and service offerings from Paul Schenkel. Paul challenged the audience to think how they could leverage cloud services to meet their infrastructure needs.

I'm proud to announce the second edition of our free educational technology event March 19th, 2013 in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, Cloud Power GR. The event is hosted by BizStream and NVINT, providers of cloud hosted applications and cloud hosting services. The goal is to explain cloud computing in a way everyone from the seasoned IT Director to the typical business person can understand. You can read my recap from the first edition of the Cloud Power GR event too to find out more.
Patrick Foley from Microsoft kicked off the morning with a discussion of where the whole cloud computing concept originated from and how Microsoft is positioning it's public cloud and private cloud offerings. Patrick did a great job of explaining the various cloud models, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
All things .Net, Azure, and Kentico.
Working with Kentico made easy.

The beauty of Week 1 of NFL football is that even when it isn't entertaining, it's educational. While there were no shortage of thrilling finishes across the league, there were also some drubbings and some unexpectedly, uninspired performances — the latter of which have left us wondering where teams that we thought we had a beat on going into the year really stand.
But before we get into what was learned and discuss the adjustments we'll be making for Week 2, let's conduct a quick postmortem of Week 1.
ATS (Against The Spread) Record – 9-7
Straight Up Record – 7-9
No Way We Can Lose – Locks Of The Week – 4-1
Overall, not very impressive picking straight up winners, but my locks were… well, locks. So what if I whiffed on the team I picked in the title? I'll take 4-1 any week of the year.
That and we came out with a winning record against the spread after a difficult Week 1.
All things considered, I'd say we're off to a solid start.
Now, on to Week 2.
As I was saying, there's a delicate balance that needs to be struck between overreacting and not reacting at all with such a small sample size.
As abysmal as some teams looked (looking at you, Rams, Browns, Redskins) and as unstoppable as others appeared (Patriots, Steelers… shocking), none of these teams have really established enough of a body of work this year to guarantee that they're as good or as bad as they seemed in Week 1. And that goes double for the teams I didn't mention as being spectacular in either a good way or a bad way.
So let's take the Week 2 slate on and see if we can't figure out who's for real and who's not with the first week of the season in our rear view mirror.
Same as last week, these picks will be divided up into the following categories:
No way we can lose – locks of the week: As you can guess, these will be the stone-cold locks of the week. The games that I'm so confident about that I'd put my life's savings on them if I had a life's savings to wager.
Feeling pretty… pretty good: Not quite willing to bet the farm on this batch, but as Mr. Larry David would say, I'm feeling pretty… pretty good about these games.
Heads or tails: These are your true toss ups: they can go one way or another and you should pick with caution even after heeding my expert advice.
Let's get started, with our Thursday Night Football game as usual.
(All odds as of 9/14, courtesy of CBS Sports)
(0-1) New York Jets @ (0-1) Buffalo Bills (-1.5) – Thursday, Sept. 15 – 8:25 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Jets
Level of confidence – Feeling pretty… pretty good
This battle of the inept offenses won't exact make for a stellar NFL debut on Twitter on Thursday night, but should make for an extremely close and gritty game.
At the end of the day, what the Jets' front seven did against a very good Bengals team – registering seven sacks and limiting the Bengals to just 57 yards rushing – doesn't bode well for a Bills team with a hobbled Sammy Watkins that gained just 111 yards through the air last week.
If the Bills can exploit the Jets' secondary, they'll likely win, but nothing in their recent history suggests they'll be able to do so.
I like the Jets to make a few more plays on offense and grind out a close one here.
No Way We Can Lose – Locks Of The Week
(0-1) San Francisco 49ers @ (0-1) Carolina Panthers (-13.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Panthers
I know, I know, that's A LOT of points to give up to anyone. But to tell you the truth, the Panthers could be 20-point favorites in this one and they'd still be in my 'locks of the week' section.
The Panthers are going to throttle the 49ers, who played a Rams team that we (ok, I) expected much more out of last week.
The disparity between the 49ers and the Panthers rosters is as vast as the distance between the two cities they play in and it'll show on Sunday.
Carolina wins big, Cam Newton fantasy owners party in the streets and the Panthers get to 1-1 on the year with ease.
(0-1) Miami Dolphins @ (1-0) New England Patriots (-6.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS – Dolphins (LOCK)
Straight Up – Patriots
I think two things are going to happen in this game. I think people will realize that the Dolphins are actually a good football team and didn't just catch Seattle on an off day and I think Jimmy Garoppolo will struggle.
The biggest reason I like the Dolphins as a lock against the spread here is because without Tom Brady at the helm, the Patriots don't have the same 'killer instinct' and ability to blow teams out.
They'll play it safe with Garoppolo, which will keep things close, to the point where I think Miami can actually win this one.
I don't think they will, but I know they'll at least cover the spread in a tightly-contested divisional matchup in Foxboro.
(1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ (0-1) Arizona Cardinals (-6.5) – Sunday, Sept 18 – 4:05 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Cardinals
I'm a big Jameis Winston fan and boy did he look impressive after making an early error against the Falcons, but the Cardinals will cause problems for the second-year quarterback here.
There's that and of course there's the anger factor and need for the Cards to get that first win after a disappointing loss to the Garoppolo-led Patriots.
Cardinals win and cover in this one.
(1-0) Seattle Seahawks @ (0-1) Los Angeles Rams (+3.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 4:05 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Rams
That's right, the Los Angeles Rams – who haven't scored a point as a franchise since 1994 and were made to look like fools against the rebuilding San Francisco 49ers, will BEAT the Seattle Seahawks.
This is your classic overreaction game for most. The Rams looked god awful on Sunday and they're only getting 3.5 from the Seahawks? SOLD!
Not so fast. Here's why the Rams are the play, in bullet form so it's easy to digest:
- The Seahawks are a notoriously different team on the road than at home.
- The Rams beat the Seahawks both times they met last year.
- Russell Wilson will not be anywhere near 100 percent if he plays. Against the Rams' dominant defensive line, that's trouble. Note: The Rams sacked Wilson 10 times in two games last year when he wasn't running around with a sprained ankle.
- The Rams will be playing their first home game in Los Angeles since 1979. Can you say home-field advantage?
The defense rests.
Feeling Pretty… Pretty Good
(0-1) New Orleans Saints @ (1-0) New York Giants (-4.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS – Saints
Straight Up – Giants
This, is going to be fun, my friends.
Actually, this is going to feel like deja vu for many fans who watched the Saints and the Giants play last year at the Superdome.
You remember… the 52-49 slugfest that the Saints pulled out at home in the final seconds with a Kai Forbath field goal?
Seven touchdowns and 511 yards for Drew Brees, 350 yards and six touchdowns for Eli Manning; a lot of happy fantasy owners and some defense coordinators who really, really needed to lie down after this one.
It'll be much of the same here, only this time the Giants' high-priced additions on defense are here to help prevent the same bloodletting that Brees inflicted upon Big Blue last year.
At least, that was Jerry Reese's thought process this offseason.
That's why the Giants win this one, but not by much.
(0-1) Dallas Cowboys @ (0-1) Washington Redskins (-3.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Redskins
Both teams are looking to rebound from brutal losses – the Redskins from a home blowout on national television and the Cowboys from a Terrance Williams brain cramp at home against an arch rival.
So who gets it done?
I think it's the Redskins. Home-field advantage, plus they'll stack the box and make Dak Prescott beat them, which I don't think he's capable of in his first road game of his career.
Redskins by a touchdown.
(0-1) Atlanta Falcons @ (1-0) Oakland Raiders (-4.5) – Sunday, Sept 18 – 4:25 p.m. ET
ATS – Falcons
Straight Up – Raiders
Without breaking my own rule and overreacting to Week 1 happenings, I think 30-plus points from the Raiders offense might be what it takes for them to win most weeks.
Drew Brees and the Saints' receivers gashed Oakland's secondary to the tune of 423 yards and 4 TDs, which makes me weary of how they'll perform against pass-happy Atlanta with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu (assuming both play).
This has the makings of yet another high-scoring affair for both teams. I like Oakland to get the last laugh thanks to their pass rush and home field advantage, but it won't be easy.
(0-1) Jacksonville Jaguars @ (0-1) San Diego Chargers (-2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 4:25 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Jaguars
The Jaguars fought valiantly against a Green Bay Packers team that many expect to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, proving that they're a team on the rise in my eyes.
The biggest takeaway from this game is that it was pretty much a clean football game on both sides.
The Jaguars didn't keep it close through a ton of Green Bay penalties, or anomalous turnovers (Green Bay had none), or anything like that — they simple played with the Packers and nearly won.
That, combined with no Keenan Allen and a Chargers team coming off of a crushing Week 1 defeat bodes well for Jacksonville, who will put one in the win column on Sunday.
(0-1) Indianapolis Colts @ (1-0) Denver Broncos (-5.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 4:25 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Broncos
After watching what the Broncos did to Cam Newton last Thursday night, Andrew Luck can't be too excited about this matchup.
And he probably shouldn't count on getting much help from his defense that gave up 39 points to the Lions when he faces he Broncos, even with Trevor Siemian starting just his second game ever.
Bottom line here is the Colts' defense is abysmal and the Broncos' is outstanding.
The Broncos defense will make life miserable for Luck, control the clock with C.J. Anderson and will cruise to a victory at home over the Colts.
(1-0) Philadelphia Eagles @ (0-1) Chicago Bears (-2.5) – Monday, Sept. 19 – 8:30 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Bears
I like Carson Wentz and think he has a long future in this league. We learned last week that he can make all the throws, is poised in the pocket, athletic, and may well be the long-term solution at quarterback in Philly.
Still, there's big difference between doing what he did against the Cleveland Browns at home and against the Chicago Bears on the road.
This Bears defense isn't the Bears defense of old, but it's on the rise. I think Jeremy Langford has himself a day and the Bears defense stifles Wentz, leading to a Bears victory.
Heads Or Tails
(1-0) Baltimore Ravens @ (0-1) Cleveland Browns (+6.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS – Browns
Straight Up – Ravens
Call me crazy, but I see Cleveland keeping this one close. I don't think the Ravens are that good and while I do think the Browns are that bad, they'll play a division rival tight and come out with a lot of energy in Hue Jackson's home debut.
Look for this one to be decided by a touchdown or less, so if the line goes up to +7/7.5, jump on it.
(1-0) Kansas City Chiefs @ (1-0) Houston Texans (-2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Texans
The runner up for game of the week right here, folks: the comeback kids from Kansas City against the new-look Houston Texans.
While last week's 21-point Chiefs comeback was thoroughly impressive, it's also worrisome.
Keenan Allen was on his way to a big day and the Chiefs couldn't stop Phillip Rivers and the Chargers until he went down.
With DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Lamar Miller at his disposal, can Brock Osweiler exploit the Chiefs' secondary, too?
I say yes. Texans limit Spencer Ware and Alex Smith on defense and do enough on offense to win and cover.
(1-0) Cincinnati Bengals @ (1-0) Pittsburgh Steelers (-3.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Bengals
This one gets the 'game of the week' honors by just a tad over the Chiefs-Texans matchup strictly due to historical ties.
The Steelers-Bengals rivalry is a great one that'll only be better coming off of last year's playoff game between these two AFC North squads.
The Bengals – thanks to that fateful game in January – will still be without Vontaze Burfict and Tyler Eifert. The Steelers, of course, will be short Le'Veon Bell.
I like the Steelers here, especially if 33-year-0ld DeAngelo Williams can replicate last week's success on the ground for Pittsburgh.
Still, I like the Bengals to keep it close. As far as running backs go, you know the one wearing No. 32 (Jeremy Hill) for Cincinnati will be looking to exact some revenge for the way his team's season ended last year.
(0-1) Tennessee Titans @ (1-0) Detroit Lions (-5.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 1:00 p.m. ET
ATS – Titans
Straight Up – Lions
This is a tough one. The Lions and the Titans faced off against teams that have the exact opposite strength of the team they're about to face.
The Lions beat the Colts, who have a vaunted passing attack and no running game. The Titans are the exact opposite.
The Titans lost to the Vikings, who ground and pound and play defense. The Lions are not that team.
So discerning exactly how these two fair against each other is a tough task.
I think the Lions are the better team overall and Matthew Stafford looked sensational in Week 1, so the Lions get the nod.
However, the Lions handle prosperity about as well as Donald Trump handles being insulted. So with that in mind, I'm also taking the Titans to cover, just because they'll keep it close to torture those poor Lions fans a little bit en route to a win.
(1-0) Green Bay Packers @ (1-0) Minnesota Vikings (+2.5) – Sunday, Sept. 18 – 8:30 p.m. ET
ATS/Straight Up – Packers
I really, really am trying to find a reason to pick the Vikings to win this game. I almost want them to win, what with the Teddy Bridgewater injury, their brand new stadium being opened up on Sunday night and all that.
Unfortunately, I just don't see it.
Aaron Rodgers is too good. Sure the Vikings showed what their defense can do against the Titans on Sunday, but that's the Titans.
Rodgers will do enough to get his team the victory and send Vikings fans home from U.S. Bank Stadium with a home-opening loss.
May the odds be ever in your favor, football fans. See you in a week.
Bryan Altman is, for some reason, an unabashed fan of the Rangers, Jets and Mets. If he absolutely had to pick a basketball team it would be the Knicks, but he'd gladly trade them for a championship for any of his other three teams.

Corporate Performance Management and the Metrics That Matter
Page 1
: Opportunity">
It's tempting to view the current buzz around corporate performance management as just the latest in a long line of dashboard-based executive information systems that have overpromised and underdelivered for decades. But the reason so many of CPM's predecessors have failed is not because the products were unworthy; it's because mining and monitoring strategic data is fraught with logistical and cultural problems. And while current CPM products might have made some incremental advances in functionality, they are still at the mercy of the data they renderand the individuals who run them.
Even though many organizations have become more disciplined and methodical about creating strategic plans, they've been far less successful in executing and assessing performance against those plans. That's where CPM, also known as business performance management or enterprise performance management, is supposed to help. CPM is really just a fancy acronym for using a constant stream of corporate data to ensure a company is heading in the right direction. In a perfect world, a company defines specific metrics that best measure its ongoing success, be it sales, profit margins, customer acquisition, delivery times, or any countless data points that make up the business. Ideally, different business units use different metrics to measure their performance, but they all tie into one overriding corporate strategy.
CPM software, increasingly bundled in suites from vendors such as Business Objects S.A., Cognos Inc. and Hyperion Solutions Corp., is designed to help with all these different processes. CPM suites are typically built on top of a business intelligence platform and provide users with easily understood analytical applications, reporting tools and metrics management applications such as dashboards and scorecards.
Research firm IDC estimates that the total market for business performance management applications (financial consolidation, planning and budgeting, and scorecards/dashboards) was $1.2 billion in 2003 and it is expected to grow to $2.1 billion by 2008. But the market is still young, and few organizations have yet calculated a return on their investments in these applications. In fact, many view CPM as a way to extract additional value from their existing investments in business intelligence, data warehouses and the like. All of which underscores the fact that CPM software is only as good as the data that lies beneath it.
Page 2
: Value">
Robert Paladino, former senior vice president of Global Performance at Canonsburg, Pa.-based Crown Castle International Corp., believes in CPM. With $930 million in revenue in 2003, CCI is a leading independent owner and operator of cellular towers and broadcasting infrastructure, and leases tower space to providers such as Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless, among others.
As CCI's strategic goals shifted over time, so did the way it viewed CPM. In 2001, after the capital markets collapsed, CEO John Kelly shifted from a capital-intensive, growth-through-acquisition strategybasically a land grab to expand the network of towerstoward a strategy of operational excellence. A new corporate function, dubbed "Global Performance," was formed to improve operations. Functioning as internal consultants, the Global Performance group facilitated the companywide design, development and implementation of more than 45 balanced scorecards, a tool that translates strategy into a comprehensive set of performance metrics. CCI relies on CorVu Corp.'s CorStrategy to manage the balanced scorecards that are the central focus of its performance management efforts. Although CCI doesn't use the term CPM internally, "collectively, you could wrap a CPM [moniker] around our efforts," says Paladino.
One metric that was of great importance to CCI was past-due receivables, or sales outstanding more than 90 days. When that metric consistently "showed red" on a dashboard, Paladino's group investigated and discovered a mismatch between CCI's expectation of when rent cycles began and those of the clients who lease capacity on CCI's towers, among other factors. In 2004 alone, CPM initiatives helped CCI reduce the number of accounts with past-due receivables from 40 to less than ten, improving free cash flow by more than $100 million as part of a broader capital improvement effort. "We've undergone a cultural shift away from managing by anecdote to a more rigorous analysis of trends. Our decisions are more grounded in facts than in the past," says Paladino, who recently left CCI to start a CPM consultancy.
CPM can often reveal areas in which companies are wasting eye-popping amounts of money, especially upon initially installing the software. Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. claimed a 506 percent ROI from its CPM efforts, largely because the software identified an unnecessary port in Baltimore that was subsequently closed. (See "Oh! What a Feeling," CIO Insight, October 2004.)

: Challenges">
Making CPM part of the overall corporate strategy can be tricky. Few organizations have a team dedicated to monitoring and managing global performance full time à la CCI; most CPM initiatives are still driven by the finance department, and often begin as tactical efforts to streamline labor-intensive, outmoded finance processes.
Yet backing out from tactics to strategy is rife with difficulty, not least because it forces finance to think more broadly across the organization, about which nonfinancial metrics are important, about who truly contributes to strategic objectives and what tools they need to monitor their own progress, and so forth. That's the juncture many organizations are at today.
Meanwhile, finance typically still makes the key decisions regarding CPM approaches and applications, funds CPM initiatives and selects vendors. And the fact that most CPM initiatives are linked to annual budgeting processes doesn't help. But users throughout the organization must derive their own value from CPM effortsbeyond simply the ability to comply with information requests from finance. This becomes especially true as individual contributions to corporate performance are linked to compensation.
And though finance typically drives CPM efforts, IT's role is just as critical, if not more. Visibility into corporate performance across a broad user base, and consistency of the information they are viewing, are critical for CPM success. IT's primary role is to ensure both by providing access to a reliable business intelligence infrastructure, including the data repository and business analytics, used in all CPM-related activities.
The earlier IT gets involved, the better. At a practical level, IT's role entails no small measure of policing: preventing individual business units from installing renegade planning systems, just for the slick reporting tools, for instance. That means establishing policies and procedures and asking the tough questions like: Why do you need a proprietary database? Where are you sourcing your data? How much will it cost to integrate?
Maintaining the integrity of the data also requires vigilance. As Terry Williamson, vice president of IT at CCI explains, "My role and the role of my group is to act as the gatekeepers, or the custodians, of the information. That takes discipline, organization and a lot of procedures." Demanding clear and consistent definitions, maintaining a single, central repository that can be used by all applications, and making sure all the components that go into derived (or calculated) figures are included in that repository, are just three examples of the kind of discipline that's required.
Gartner Research Director Brian Wood adds: "You want to get to that single source of truth so you don't have ten definitions of the same thing. When you create a planning application for finance, for example, it should define profitability in exactly the same way as in operational systems."

: Metrics">
Defining the metrics that will track progress toward strategic goals is the key to any CPM implement-ation. Charlotte, N.C.-based LendingTree Inc., a division of InterActive Corp., and an online marketplace for consumer loans and realty services with a network of more than 200 lenders and 700 realty services brokers nationwide, found that it needed a more formal approach to monitoring performance as it matured from a start-up to a large, fast-growing company. Senior Vice President and CFO Keith B. Hall says, "We always had the numbers in great detail and used them to prepare our books and disclosures. But we lacked a focus on the key summary statistics that drive the business." In other words, the company was having trouble seeing the forest for the trees.
LendingTree, which uses Hyperion technology for modeling, planning and scorecarding, is typical of many Internet-based companies in terms of the key performance metrics that it tracks closely, including Web site traffic, the rate of Web site visitors who converted to customers, and marketing costs per customer, among them. "Everyone down to the receptionist now knows we focus on certain numbers," says Hall.
Because the metrics are widely distributed, more people feel ownership of them. "If operating managers expect you to be looking at certain statistics, then they'll get more involved in the details that make them tick," says Hall.
Bret Furtwengler, vice president of financial systems at Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank, says, "The biggest struggle I've seen in 20 years in financial systems is managing consistent metadata. If I define 'region one' in the Chicago affiliate as including these 40 banks, is it defined the same way in our online analytic processing tool and in our general ledger?" That job has never been easier due to the availability of so-called hierarchy management tools such as those from Austin, Texas-based Razza Solutions, which is a common tool among financial institutions including Fifth Third Bank. Furtwengler's effort to improve data consistency is part of an overall CPM initiative in the retail banking arm of Fifth Third, which is using the Hyperion Business Performance Management suite of products.
Eventually, performance metrics will be a component of performance evaluations and will inform compensation decisions at Fifth Third. Paladino recommends a cautious approach here. "BSC takes two or three business cycles to mature. We waited three years to fully integrate compensation into the scorecard."
While scorecarding is currently a favorite method for measuring performance, "Sometimes people forget the 'balanced' in balanced scorecard," says Kathleen Wilhide, research director of compliance and BPM solutions at IDC. "You can micromanage one key performance indicator to the detriment of another. Cut call-center costs too deeply and customer service will decline. Linking and aligning key performance indicators is something companies traditionally have not done well." Wilhide's comments are one final reminder that corporate performance management software doesn't manage itself. Perhaps someday, someone will design a software program for that as well.

Decision : CONF 204 VIII.9
Mount Nimba Nature Reserve (Guinea/Côte d'Ivoire)
VIII.9 Mount Nimba Nature Reserve (Guinea/Côte d'Ivoire)
The Committee noted that at a World Heritage and Mining Technical Workshop, held at IUCN Headquarters from 20- 23 September, 2000, the case of Mt. Nimba was discussed and participants noted that key issues at this site include: (a) the need for clear boundary demarcation, taking into consideration the boundaries proposed at the time of inscription and changes proposed subsequently; (b) the need for effective transboundary co-operation between the two States Parties (Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire) as well as Liberia, which has yet to ratify the Convention; and (c) the need to stimulate fund-raising efforts for this site, based on previous proposals and recommendations, including those made by the Committee concerning the establishment of a fund or a foundation for the conservation of Mt. Nimba. The Director General of CEGEN (Centre for Environmental Management of Mt. Nimba), presented a paper at the Amman Workshop which reiterated the findings reported at the World Heritage and Mining Workshop referred to above. In that context, the Committee recommended that the Centre and IUCN cooperate with CEGEN and relevant authorities in Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia to address points (a), (b) and (c), as described above, and prepare an action plan describing specific measures to be taken within a defined time period. The Committee retained the site in the List of World Heritage in Danger.

Good night. If you've factory reset your DSL modem then you'll need to log in and setup the connection again.

New York: Sudden tightness in your chest? Shooting pain down your left arm? Everyone knows that could be a heart attack. But what if symptoms aren't so sudden?
When symptoms come on slowly, heart attack patients are less likely to get to a hospital quickly, according to a study in Dublin, Ireland.
"We didn't know that most heart attacks start off with mild and slow symptoms," said Sharon O'Donnell, who led the study at the University of Dublin, Trinity College in Ireland.
"Nor had we realized that patients who experience a milder or slower onset of symptoms would also exhibit a distinct help-seeking behavioural pattern, i.e. they take much longer to reach the emergency department than those with fast-onset heart attacks because they don't call an ambulance, they call/visit their doctor or they wait to see if their symptoms would go away," she told Reuters Health in an email.
By interviewing 893 heart attack patients a few days after the event, O'Donnell and her coauthors determined how quickly the patients had experienced and reacted to their symptoms.
Two-thirds had symptoms come on slowly, and the remaining one third felt severe symptoms right away.
Those with slow symptoms tended to wait three and a half hours before going to the hospital, compared to two hours for those whose symptoms came on fast, O'Donnell's team reports in the Journal of Emergency Medicine.
According to the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, among people who die from heart attacks, about half do so within an hour of having their first symptoms and before they reach the hospital.
Slow or fast symptoms don't necessarily indicate how severe the heart attack is, O'Donnell said.
Researchers aren't sure why heart attack symptom speed differs between people. It could depend on whether coronary arteries are blocked fully or partially, said Holli A. Devon, who researches how symptoms of heart problems present in different groups of people.
Devon, a registered nurse and associate professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Nursing, was not involved in the study.
"Based on previous studies, including our own, women, older adults and individuals with diabetes are less likely to report chest pain, therefore they are at greater risk for ignoring symptoms that they may deem minor or non-life threatening," Devon said.
"An important message is that if you or a friend or family member has chest pain, pressure or discomfort or related symptoms such as shortness of breath, cold-sweats or pain in the shoulders or arms you should call emergency medical services immediately," she said.
"My advice is that if anyone experiences any of the worrying symptoms above, that do not resolve after 15 minutes of rest, then they should call an ambulance and go straight to the emergency room," O'Donnell said.
Calling or visiting a doctor first has been linked to treatment delays and poorer outcomes in international studies, she said.
The American Heart Association recommends calling EMS within five minutes of symptom onset. "We are missing this target by hours, not minutes. And in some cases, days," Devon said.

Alright everyone, the moderation team has discussed this for a bit and we have decided to open up a new DW5 discussion thread, for a couple reasons.
1) The current one was started way back in the day and contains a lot of pre-release discussions, and it's simply way too long to read through for hints and information.
2) With the North American release of the game, there are going to be millions of requests for hints on items, weapons, unlocking, etc. We don't want these questions to create hundreds of new small threads.
So, with that said, here is what I would like to happen! I am going to sticky this thread and make it the official DW5 Gameplay Thread. ALL questions about how to unlock stuff, how to do certain things in the game, and so forth, should be asked in this thread.
Any questions about release information, video requests, or questions about what features are in the game (i.e. for the European and Australian markets) should be asked in the other thread, which I will de-sticky.
I am going to go around the forum right now and lock all DW5 gameplay threads to direct them here, in order to reduce clutter and to concentrate our gameplay hints in one place.

Writer/director Andrew Stanton has been behind some of the very best films in Pixar's repertoire (and that's saying something). He co-wrote Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, and Monsters Inc., and he wrote and directed the magnificent one-two punch of Finding Nemo and Wall-E. Stanton made his live-action debut earlier this year with the criminally underseen sci-fi epic John Carter, and now it looks like he'll be returning to Pixar for his next feature, Finding Nemo 2. Hit the jump for more.
Per Deadline, Stanton has now officially come onboard to direct Finding Nemo 2 with a concept that the studio apparently loves. THR adds that Victoria Krouse is writing the screenplay, with Lindsey Collins onboard as the film's producer (she co-produced Wall-E and produced John Carter). A 2016 release date is apparently being eyed. We've been hearing rumblings of a possible Finding Nemo follow-up for a while now, and with promising Monsters Inc. sequel coming next year, hopefully Stanton has an equally exciting idea of where to take the Finding Nemo characters in a follow-up. It's worth noting that Finding Nemo remains Pixar's second highest grossing film of all time, so the Mouse House is likely more than happy to have a sequel in active development.
Moreover, Deadline reports that the idea behind Stanton helming Finding Nemo 2 is that Disney would "give him another shot" at directing a live-action film. Since development on Pixar films takes years, he'd presumably focus on Finding Nemo 2 for the time being, then move on to his next live-action feature once he's finished with the animated pic. The report cautions that nothing is firm on the live-action front, but the studio is "working on it."
Though John Carter has become infamous as a financial failure, artistically speaking the film was far from a bomb. Stanton poured his heart and soul into bringing the Edgar Rice Burroughs tale to the screen, and his passion for the material came through in spades. Furthermore, John Carter is a visual spectacle that was a wonder to behold on the big screen.
It's a shame that more people didn't turn out for the film, and it's even more of a shame that it sounds like we'll never see those two John Carter sequels that Stanton and co-writer Michael Chabon were hoping to make should the first film be a success. Finding Nemo 2 isn't exactly a terrible consolation prize, and with Stanton taking the creative helm on the pic we can rest assured that we'll be getting a story well worth telling. In the meantime, fans will have the chance to check out the first Finding Nemo on the big screen once again, as the pic hits theaters in 3D on September 14th. As a refresher, check out the slate of upcoming Pixar projects (that we know of) below:
- Monsters University – June 21st, 2013
- The Good Dinosaur – May 30th, 2014
- The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside the Mind – June 19th, 2015
- The Untitled Pixar Movie About Dia de los Muertos – 2015

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – No time to cook? Eating out can often mean spending more money and consuming more calories, but a local chef says he has the answer. After preparing food at Matthew's, one of Jacksonville's finest restaurants, he's now out on is own making affordable gourmet meals for people on the go.
It started two years ago when Chef J. William didn't have a lot of time to cook, for himself anyway. He started making and packaging healthy meals in bulk.
"Two minutes in a microwave is less time than you spend in the drive thru at fast food place," J. William said.
He started sharing the packaged meals with friends and what happened next is a testament to Chef J's skills. The meals were so good, so simple and healthy, he ended up making them for a lot more people than he ever expected.
"At first it was just for two workout partners," Chef J said. "So a total of 40 meals a week in addition to what I was making for myself and my own family. Now we do, we approach 1000 a week. For 1000 people, but I'm ready for more."
The meals-on-the-go business became so successful, Chef J now does this full time. He and his staff make more than a dozen different type of meals at prices that around the same as a fast food value meal. Each entrée is between 300 and 500 calories, has 40 grams of protein, 30 carbs and 10 to 20 grams of fat. There's no added salt and some are even gluten free.
"I had every intention being a fine dining chef for the rest of my life and I'm enthusiastic about fitness and diet, but I never thought it would be part of my career."
The menu changes weekly and they deliver if your order is more than $100. To find out more, check out J. William Culinary on Facebook or jwilliamculinary.com.

Time Warp Heals All Wounds (時を超えるハルカ!! Time Travelling May!!) is the 12th episode of Pokémon: Battle Frontier.
|This section is completely EMPTY!
Please help the Pokémon Wiki by expanding it.
Episode plot
The gang resides inside a Pokémon Center. Brock nurses Bonsly and May waits for the egg to hatch. Nurse Joy arrives to see the egg. Brock comes and flirts with her, but suddenly, Bonsly tackles him. However, Munchlax drinks Bonsly's milk. Bonsly cries, so Brock cheers it up and Joy recommends that he should go to the cafeteria. Max goes with Munchlax and Ash goes to practice with Pikachu. Squirtle follows them, so May goes to get it. Team Rocket sees them running out and plan to capture them. Jessie tells James and Meowth they need to change tactics, or else they will fail to steal anything. Jessie recommends they should split to get the Pokémon, that way they should get *something*.
Squirtle came to an abandoned part of town. May also came, recognizing that the building is a train station. She goes inside and sees a picture where the station was livelier. May found Squirtle, who is held by an old lady. The lady gives her Squirtle. May introduces herself, while the lady is Edna. Suddenly, it begins to rain, so she tells May she is waiting for the steam train to come, expecting a man to come. A girl comes with an umbrella, who is her granddaughter named Katrina. She came to get grandma, but she is sad because the train did not arrive yet. Edna goes away, leaving a picture of herself (but younger) and a man on the bench.
Jessie sees Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu uses Volt Tackle on a rock, destroying it to pieces - one piece falls on Jessie's head. James sees Munchlax, Bonsly, Brock and Max at a table full of food. James tries not to think on the food, but catches a cold. Meanwhile, May asks who are the people on the picture. Katrina replies they are Edna and her grandfather, Jonathan. Katrina never met Jonathan and tells Edna was waiting for him. Also, she tells that the pendant Edna got on her neck in the picture is important and tells what happened. They were in charge for Pokémon eggs, but one day, Jonathan decided to move to the city. He wanted to get there to become a Doctor and told they wold be there as long as he didn't had the degree. Edna replied she couldn't leave as she was raised and born here. Before he left, he sent her a message, so she ran to the station, but she was late - the train left and the pendant she got on her neck disappeared.
Katrina tells that later Edna got a letter Jonathan died in an accident. She didn't and still does not believe the letter and she comes day by day to the station, waiting for Jonathan. Later, Edna told Katrina that she shouldn't have left Jonathan, as she had a baby already coming and wished the train came later if it was snowing. Also, Katrina points at a tree - around the tree would Illumise and Volbeat danced each summer, but after the tree withered, they stopped coming and then Edna began to feel sad. Meowth hears them (as he planned to get Squirtle) and cries in sadness. Later, May told what Katrina told her. Suddenly, the egg begins to glow, so she gives it to Joy for nursing. However, Max sees Squirtle is gone (again), so she runs to the station. She finds Meowth, who is looking at the moon and thinking what Edna said. May finds Squirtle, who is on the tracks.
Squirtle found Edna's pendant and May finds Jonathan's picture inside. Suddenly, the pendant begins to glow...! As they open their eyes, they quickly go off the tracks, as a train comes. A man working at a station yells they shouldn't play on the tracks. They go away and see that the town is much livelier and not abandoned, even the tree Katrina told about is different. May thinks they must have came in time, though Meowth denies this. May sees a man, who is Jonathan - he told a man working at the train station he leaves to the city, despite Edna wanting to stay. Meowth worries how they will get back, but May tells him they need to save Jonathan. Still, the man who yelled at them takes them out of the station. They notice the rain falls, so May knows what to do.
Edna reads the letter and rushes to the station. May has a plan - they first need to get a balloon. But when they saw a few balloons on the building, they make a hot air balloon (almost like the Meowth's balloon). Squirtle uses Ice Beam on the clouds. After some time, the rain turns to snow. So, the train is stopped. Edna, this time, does not lose the pendant and comes to Jonathan at the right time. Edna reveals to Jonathan that she's pregnant—after hearing this, Jonathan chooses to stay with Edna and the couple goes home. They all see the tree, where around it the Volbeat and Illumise perform their dance. The pendant begins to glow again, so this time May, Meowth and Squirtle are sent to the present. Suddenly, a train comes, so they leave. They also see the town lively, but modernized.
Ash, Brock and Max come to tell May the egg will hatch soon. Inside, they wait and are accompanied by Katrina, Edna and Jonathan (who is older). Katrina and Edna meet May, leading Meowth (who is outside waiting) to believe that they altered the present. Edna and Jonathan check on the egg up. The egg glows and hatches - the Pokémon everyone anticipated is...an Eevee. Meowth sees that, but Jessie and James come. Meowth tells them he wishes them good luck and goes away. The night came and everyone sees the tree, where the Volbeat and Illumise perform their dance, making an beautiful sight.
- This episode is similar to Celebi And Joy!, a special episode where Ritchie helped Nick.
- Stay Together was used after May, Squirtle and Meowth returned from the past.
- This was one of the episodes where Jessie's Wobbuffet did not make an appearance.
- The episode aired as a 2-hour special in Japan.
- In this episode Meowth broke the "fourth wall".
When Team Rocket is in a tree talking about stealing Pikachu and Squirtle, in a close-up of James, he has no gloves on.

| 11.2°C Belfast
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini feels confident his players will not suffer a hangover from their last result when they host West Brom this evening.
Pellegrini claimed after City were held to a surprise 2-2 home draw by Sunderland - the Barclays Premier League's bottom side - on Wednesday that his men had still had the disappointment of their 3-2 defeat at table-toppers Liverpool from the previous Sunday on their minds.
But asked if he thought it would be difficult to lift the spirits in the camp for the Albion contest, the Chilean said: "No.
"I think it was more difficult between Liverpool and Sunderland. Now we have more time for the team to recover.
"I think that we are all conscious that we cannot play in the same way that we played against Sunderland.
"And I think it will not be so difficult (to raise players' spirits) as for the last game."
The results against Sunderland and Liverpool have dealt significant blows to City's title challenge.
They go into tonight's encounter lying third in the table, nine points behind Liverpool, albeit with the Reds having only three more games to go and Pellegrini's men five.
West Brom, meanwhile, are in a quite different situation but just as eager to pick up points.
They are 16th, three points clear of the relegation zone with five more matches to go, two more than the three sides directly below them.
Baggies boss Pepe Mel is studying the table and fixtures list as much as any manager as he tries to assess his side's prospects of avoiding the drop - but he has stressed the key focus for Albion must be on themselves.
When asked ahead of the City game if he was one for scrutinising the standings and trying to work out various permutations, Spaniard Mel said: ''Yes.
''And I imagine another 10 or 12 managers are possibly doing the same - both those at the top and the bottom of the league.
''But what we really need to worry about most is ourselves.''
West Brom defender Jonas Olsson (Achilles) and midfielder James Morrison (ankle) are doubts for Monday's match, as is City playmaker David Silva (ankle).
Pellegrini has revealed winger Jesus Navas has also been struggling with an ankle knock, and the game will come too soon for midfielder Yaya Toure to return after his leg injury.
Defender Matija Nastasic, out of action since February because of a knee complaint, remains unavailable.
Regarding Nastasic, Pellegrini said: "He's working better - he worked on Friday with the whole squad.
"I think that over the next few days he will be ready to start working without any problem."

New York City mourns Sept. 11 victims
- Mourning and healing in New York City on 9/11 anniversary
- As time has passed%2C how we mark the anniversary has evolved%2C even diminished
- Some wounds remain raw%2C which was apparent at the formal memorial
NEW YORK — At first blush, Sept. 11, 2013, appeared to be just like any ordinary weekday in Manhattan.
New Yorkers walked their dogs, got their kids ready for school and griped about the high heat and humidity. Down by the World Financial Center, hordes of professionals scurried into towering buildings to begin the day's work.
Despite those outward signs of conventionality, it was far from a regular day.
Those who didn't wake up recalling the horror of the terrorist attacks Sept. 11, 2001, had only to see the date on their iPhone or calendar for a split-second reminder of today's anniversary. It marks the day that hijackers crashed two commercial jets into the iconic twin towers, killing nearly 3,000 people.
Most people can clearly recall the moment they first heard the devastating news. They can still picture the towers smoking, then falling.
Yet as time has passed, how we observe the anniversary has evolved, even diminished. The news coverage is less. The sadness and anxiety aren't as palpable. There is less fear when flying or riding public transportation.
It was inevitable things would change.
Some who lost a spouse have remarried. Toddlers who lost parents are in high school. Adolescents have grown into young professionals.
Kevin Parks, 26, whose father died when the towers crumbled, said he would skip Wednesday morning's formal memorial ceremony and go to his job at a Midtown hedge fund, where he would feel a sense of comfort around his colleagues.
Parks, who was 14 when his father, Bob, died, mentors a younger boy whose father died in the attacks, and he collects donations for Tuesday's Children, which supports kids who lost a parent to terrorism. He says he doesn't want to ever put forth a "woe is me" attitude. Time and maturity have helped him understand that life can be bearable, even enjoyable, after great sorrow.
At a Tuesday's Children fundraiser Tuesday night, it was clear how much things have changed in the years since the attacks.
Organizers spoke of the lives lost on Sept. 11 and of how they help those who lost a parent with support groups and other activities, but the mood was jovial. There was loud live music. Comedian Susie Essman poked fun at those in attendance.
It was a look at how some of the Sept. 11 wounds have begun to mend.
A few blocks from that gathering, at a memorial on the side of Firehouse Engine 10, Ladder 10 near Ground Zero, there was a different feel: one of quiet, somber tribute.
At 11 p.m. Tuesday, a dozen people stood in front of a long bronze wall depicting fire trucks, the smoking twin towers and firefighters responding to the attack. Two women approached the 6-foot-high memorial and rubbed their hands over the etched firefighter faces. One man, who had just read the names of the deceased at the bottom, stood and made the sign of the cross as he walked away.
Wednesday morning, across the street from that firehouse, the raw hurt was even more apparent.
At the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, friends and family of those who perished gathered for the annual reading of the names. Some wore T-shirts with pictures of those they lost. They held photos of their loved ones high above their heads.
Readers at the podium spoke with cracking voices. Some choked through sobs.
They talked specifically, emotionally, of the person whose memory brought them there. Uncles, fathers, brothers.
They reminded listeners to never forget.
Some talked of how they hoped that time would help them heal but said they are still waiting for that day.
Those in the crowd stood tall and close as one victim's name after another was read.
The memorial waterfall could be heard in the background. And off to the side, a 20-year journalist began to cry.

Spatial disparity between the Capital and the Atolls contribute to Human Development Gap, confirms the Maldives Human Development Report 2014
The last decade has seen the Maldives achieve remarkable progress on the developmental front. It has gained significant economic growth, confirmed by its graduation to a middle-income country in 2011, and is the first MDG plus country in South Asia having met five out of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Amidst these notable achievements, underlying disparities within the country continue to remain a major challenge towards Human Development, finds the Maldives Human Development Report 2014.
The Report – Bridging the Divide: Addressing vulnerabilities, Reducing Inequalities – presents an informative yet, critical analysis of these disparities, focusing on the inequalities that continue to exist in the country while shedding light on the vulnerabilities faced by the country that significantly contributes to these inequalities. By establishing sub-regional Human Development Index for the first time in the country's history, the report reveals that the spatial disparity between the capital Male' and the atolls contributes greatly to the existing Human Development gap, most notably in the form of income and educational choices.
For instance, the report finds that a person living in the Capital Male' is likely to complete three more years of schooling compared to a person living in the atolls, and the average income of a person living in the capital is nearly twice as that of what a person living in an atoll earns. Inequalities that exist in access to quality health care between the capital and the atolls have led to a sizeable number of people travelling to Male' to gain access to better healthcare, that eventually contributes to high number of deaths registered in Male' compared to atolls.
"Where one is born within the Maldives determines many of the opportunities and choices available to a person. Remote islands with small populations have limited accessibility to services including schooling, healthcare, social services, job opportunities and face overall isolation," the report states.
To address these vulnerabilities and inequalities, the report presents a framework on equality and vulnerability that would guide the development of inclusive policies and measures for action, amongst many other recommendations. It concludes by advocating to policy makers and key stakeholders to address the root of the problems, locally termed 'Kamuge Aslu Belun', to reducing inequalities and vulnerabilities which the report finds in income, education and health – the three dimensions of Human Development.
"With the launch of the report, we have now reached the most critical juncture – the implementation of the recommendations outlined in the report. I am pleased to reaffirm that the Government of Maldives remain committed to support the implementation of the recommendations of the report and in integrating the human development perspective in designing public policies," said the Minister of Health and Gender, Honorable Dr. Mariyam Shakeela during her address after launching the report.
Meanwhile Mr. Devanand Ramiah, the Officer-in-Charge of UNDP Maldives spoke on the influential role that Human Development Reports have played in other countries while expressing his hope that the Maldives Human Development Report will be no different in influencing the national development.
"The timing of the launch of the report could not have been more optimal from a policy perspective. As the new government embarks on policy making, we hope the analysis, recommendations and data in the report will inform decision making," said Mr. Ramiah.
In the days coming forth, UNDP Maldives will be sharing the report with key national partners including government ministries, independent institutions, local councils and local NGOs and associations.

Estate of Huguette M. Clark, courtesy of Christie's
Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Femme à l'ombrelle," or "Woman with Umbrella," from the collection of Huguette Clark is expected to fetch $3 million to $5 million at a sale in May in New York. The Clark collection is touring London, Asia and New York for public viewing. The woman with the parasol in the 1873 painting may be Camille Monet, the wife of the painter Claude Monet.
By Bill Dedman
Investigative Reporter, NBC News
Estate of Huguette M. Clark, courtesy of Christie's
Huguette Clark was 24 when she purchased this work from Claude Monet's series of "Nymphéas," or "Water Lilies," in 1930 in New York. This 1907 painting remained out of the public eye until now. It is estimated by Christie's to bring $25 million to $35 million at auction on May 6, after it is available for viewing in London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York.
NEW YORK — Monet and Renoir masterpieces from the art collection of reclusive heiress Huguette Clark, hidden away like their owner for nearly a century, will be available for viewing in New York beginning Friday, April 18. Christie's will auction the works in May and June.
The collection includes rare books, furniture, paintings, silver, porcelain, jade and other objects, more than 400 in all.
This is the schedule for viewings at Christie's in Rockefeller Center, at West 49th Street and 6th Avenue. Most days the exhibits will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- April 18-24 (except Sunday): Selected items, including paintings by Monet, Renoir, Chase and Sargent; books by Baudelaire and Whitman; the Stradivarius violin known as the Kruetzer (1731); two concert harps; furniture; porcelain; and jade.
- May 2-6: Viewing of Impressionist and Modern work. Viewings 10-5, except 1-5 on Sunday and 10-12 on Tuesday.
- May 6: Sale of four Impressionist paintings in the evening show, 7 p.m. See the show details.
- June 14-17: Viewing of more than 400 Clark objects.
- June 18: Sale of more than 400 Clark objects, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
First, on May 6, four Impressionist paintings will be sold at Christie's in Rockefeller Center, including a Monet from his "Water Lilies" series with an estimated value of $25 million to $35 million. This Monet has not been seen in public since the copper heiress bought it in 1930. Her three paintings by Renoir will also be sold: "Girls Playing Battledore and Shuttlecock," "Chrysanthemums," and "Woman with Umbrella." Together the Renoir trio is estimated to be worth $16.5 million to $25.5 million.
Then on June 18, more than 400 objects collected by Clark and her parents will receive their own spotlight at a sale at Christie's. They include paintings by Americans John Singer Sargent ("Girl Fishing at San Vigilio") and William Merritt Chase ("A Water Fountain in Prospect Park"); a Stradivarius violin ("the Kreutzer," c. 1731) and other musical instruments; rare books (a first edition of Baudelaire's "Les fleurs du mal," a Book of Hours from the 16th century with pages bordered in liquid gold, and a first edition of Whitman's "Leaves of Grass"); European furniture and decorative arts; Chinese works of art; and English silver. (More details are in a press release from Christie's, and see more photos below.)

Renoir's "Girls Playing Battledore and Shuttlecock" has a pre-sale estimated value of $10 million to $15 million. Huguette Clark paid $125,000 for it in the late 1950s. From about 1887, this large work is one of Renoir's most prized, showing five women in a rural landscape.

Huguette Clark on a ship with her father, W.A. Clark, the copper miner and former senator, in the 1910s. The familiy held tickets on the return trip of the Titanic in 1912, though as Huguette explained some 80 years later, "We took another boat."
Huguette (pronounced "oo-GET") Marcelle Clark was the youngest child of former U.S. Sen. William Andrews Clark (1839-1925), one of the copper kings of Montana, a railroad builder, founder of Las Vegas, and one of the richest men of the Gilded Age. Huguette, born in Paris in 1906, was a painter and doll collector who spent her last 20 years living in simple hospital rooms. She attracted the attention of NBC News in 2009 because her fabulous homes in Connecticut, California and New York sat unoccupied but carefully maintained. (See all the stories in the NBC series.)
After Clark died in 2011 at age 104, nineteen relatives challenged her last will and testament, which had cut them out of her $300 million copper fortune. The relatives claimed that she was mentally ill and had been defrauded by her nurse, attorney and accountant. No one was charged with any crime after an investigation by the district attorney's office, but enough questions were raised that the case was settled in September 2013 just after jury selection began. The relatives, who last saw her in 1957 and most of whom never met Clark, will receive $34.5 million. Lawsuits continue as the relatives hope to receive more money from Clark's hospital and doctor. The proceeds from the scheduled sales at Christie's will go back into the estate for distribution under that settlement. (Read a summary of the deal here.)
Though Clark kept much of her art collection under wraps, along with the rest of her life, she was a persistent supporter of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and lent works to it periodically, including two paintings by Sargent and one of the Renoirs. Most of the art collected by her father went to the Corcoran after his death in 1925, after the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York turned it down.
Not for sale are paintings made by Clark herself. Those will go to a new Bellosguardo Foundation for the arts, to be set up at her summer estate in Santa Barbara, Calif. The foundation received her oceanfront property by that name, worth at least $85 million. With only about $5 million in cash — an exact amount still to be determined — the foundation will have to choose a mission and figure out how to fund it. It could become a public museum, or the house could be sold to fund the foundation's charitable efforts. The board members will be appointed, probably by this summer, by the New York attorney general; most will be nominated by the mayor of Santa Barbara.
The foundation also will receive Clark's collection of dolls, mostly from France, Germany and Japan, as well as dollhouses and model Japanese castles she designed, altogether worth an estimated $1.7 million.
Clark's jewelry collection was sold at Christie's in 2012, bringing $18 million to provide cash to keep her estate running during the dispute. Her three apartments on Fifth Avenue sold for a total of $54.8 million. Her Connecticut home, unoccupied since she bought it in 1951, remains on the market at $15.9 million.
Bill Dedman is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller "Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune." The co-author is Paul Clark Newell Jr., Huguette Clark's cousin, who was not involved in the legal contest for her estate.

William Merritt Chase's "A Water Fountain in Prospect Park," c. 1886, has a pre-sale estimate of $500,000 to $700,000. Chase was a favorite of Huguette Clark's father, Sen. W.A. Clark.

April 19, 2017 – Dan Weiniger is an intriguing figure who had worked in the visual communications field after studying at Arizona State and Farleigh Dickinson. But one day he had a heart attack for the second time in his life. He went through many procedures but with nearly 80 percent of his heart having died, he is waiting for a heart transplant.
His physical worries and struggles have inspired him to write a brand new book that is coming soon. The new book is called The Gift of Heart Failure. It is a book that is all about what he called the 12 Fabulous Fundamentals associated with living a better life. The book is currently available on Amazon and will have a paperback version coming later in the next week.
After spending nearly 55 days in the hospital and dealing with many concerns over waiting for a transplant, Weiniger discovered that he has been given a gift in the form of a more positive and controlled life.
The book is about a number of important topics. It starts out about understanding how to overcome fear and how to appreciate all the little things in life. It is especially about being kind to others and being enthusiastic over life. This is all about understanding how to have a better and more enjoyable life in many forms.
The stories that Weiniger talks about are made with a number of key points to help inspire people to live fuller lives. His discussions include many great real-life experiences while also bringing about his own stories of recovery with a bit of humor as well. The work that he has put into this book shows the intense and beautiful feeling that he has for life and how he wants other people to enjoy the world for what it is life. This all will make a world of difference to all who read the book.
Dan Weiniger is hoping that with this book he is able to encourage people in the future. His goal is to help people understand that there are always going to be positive things for people to live for and enjoy in their lives. The stories that he holds are intriguing and will help people change their attitudes about the world.
