Latex agglutination, counterimmunoelectrophoresis, and protein A co-agglutination in diagnosis of bacterial meningitis
Dirks-Go, S.I.; Zanen, H.C.
Journal of Clinical Pathology 31(12): 1167-1171
Specimens of cerebrospinal fluid from 201 patients with meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis groups A/B/C/135, Streptococcus pneumoniae (23 types), and Haemophilus influenzae type b were tested for the presence of specific bacterial antigens by latex agglutination, counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE), and protein A co-agglutination. Specific antigens were found in 75% of the specimens by latex agglutination and CIE, and in 60% of the specimens by protein A co-agglutination. Non-specific reactions in protein A co-agglutination were prevented by heating the specimens to 100 degrees C for a few minutes. The three methods are simple and quick to perform. The smallest amount of antiserum was used in protein A co-agglutination, but we found this method less sensitive. Latex agglutination and CIE proved to be equally sensitive, but the first method was easier to adopt in practice.

Why people at higher weights go undiagnosed.
What is the face of an eating disorder? Often, we envision a young thin white woman. However, research indicates that people at higher weights—fat people—are at increased risk for eating disorders. And their symptoms typically go unnoticed.
A recent study (Lipson & Sonneville, 2017) examined 9713 students from 12 different colleges and found that body weight was the most consistent predictor of eating disorder symptoms. Students with a BMI in the "overweight" or "obese" range were at the highest risk and students with a BMI in the "underweight" range were surprisingly at the lowest risk. A history of elevated body weight is common in patients seeking eating disorder treatment. A 2015 study by Lebow et al. examined patients seeking treatment for restrictive eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, and found that over 36 percent of patients had a history of BMI above the 85th percentile. And disturbingly, symptoms in these patients are often not diagnosed until later and more severe stages of the illness. A 2013 article by Sim et al. that I wrote about in an earlier post found that eating disorder symptoms in adolescents with a weight history in the "overweight" or "obese" range not only were under-diagnosed, but symptoms were actually encouraged by medical professionals who congratulated these patients for losing weight.
Why are people at higher weights at increased risk of eating disorder symptoms? For one, we live in a culture that villainizes fat. Inhabiting a fat body is seen as a moral failing, evidence of being a sub-par human being. Fat people face the scorn of society and are open targets for discrimination and bigotry. It's no wonder that so many will try anything possible to lose weight, even if that means engaging in eating disorder behaviors that compromise their health. This is not to say that eating disorder symptoms are the first line of action for people trying to lose weight. More commonly, weight loss efforts start with dieting or "healthy eating," which gives way to disordered eating.
Eating disorder prevention and intervention efforts are often targeted at people in the "underweight" range while people categorized as "overweight" or "obese" are targeted for weight loss interventions. Fat people are told to diet, even though dieting is one of the strongest predictors for both development of eating disorders and weight gain. Isn't it time we stopped prescribing behaviors to people at higher weights that are diagnosed as eating disorder symptoms in people at lower weights? Food restriction, purging food (either through laxative use, self-induced vomiting, or exercising to compensate for calories consumed), viewing foods as "good" or "bad," and defining our self-worth based on the numbers on the scale are unhealthy at any weight. We need to recognize these symptoms as what they are—signs of an eating disorder—even when the person who is engaging in them lives in a fat body.

As someone who was around 15# over weight as a teenager I was "encouraged" by everyone to do whatever was necessary to loose weight. That 15# became 150# as an adult and vicious cycle of weight loss and weight gain started. Whether you eat to much or to little they are both eating disorders!!
My second year at university I had a mental breakdown. I was a then-undiagnosed autistic woman with mental health issues and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome living with almost total strangers. It got to the point where I was pretty much incapable of leaving my room.
Between the executive dysfunction of the autism, the exhaustion of the CFS and the sheer terror at the thought of interacting with my housemates I would go 2-3 days without eating.
When I finally got help and I talked about the not eating the doctor I was talking to - who had previously been very supportive - looked me up and down and you could see a 'yeah, right' happen. I got put on medication and there were comments about how losing weight could help my mental health and how the anti-depressant might cause weight gain and I should try and avoid that because I was already overweight.
My mental health is much improved, I am no longer living with other people and I have an autism diagnosis. I do still deal with disordered eating due to executive dysfunction and fatigue. And yet every time I deal with a doctor suggesting weight loss I mention it and it gets ignored.
Eating disorders have no "one size fits all". I remember going through my recovery with anorexia and struggling when I had gained weight with looking and feeling "too healthy" to have an eating disorder. I still had symptoms and behaviors of an eating disorder, but it was harder to tell people and for them to understand, because I didn't appear to be sick, or didn't look like what people have stereotyped someone with an eating disorder to look like. Even treatment can be like that. After my weight reached a certain point, my insurance stopped covering my treatment since I was too healthy! It was all based on that one number, but eating disorders are so much more than food or weight.

The Milkwood Murder Series Tour and Giveaway
The Puccini Connection
A Milkwood Murder Book 1
by Sam Bond
Genre: Cozy Murder Mystery
An idyllic English village, a lovable heroine, and a Puccini-inspired murder. Who knew opera could be so deadly?
British expat, Josie Monroe, returns to the idyllic village of Milkwood and finds herself chief suspect in a family murder. Surrounded by cricket greens, duck ponds and lies, Josie must discover the culprit if she wishes to return to the US and Lady Belle DeCorcy is just the pal to help her.
Josie is a down-to-earth, classical music-loving pianist. Belle is a flighty, beautiful and slightly unhinged debutante, making the two amateur sleuths an unlikely and comically inept, team. As if Josie doesn't have enough problems, she is also dealing with the "Witches of Milkwood," an elderly trio convinced that Josie is the murderer and that Belle is one sandwich short of a picnic.
Living with a cantankerous cat named Elgar and her aunt's handsome, but seemingly untrustworthy, lodger, Josie is also coming to terms with resurging feelings for her childhood sweetheart, Detective Inspector Adam Ward. Luckily, tea and tenacity will see her through, even if every time Josie hears Puccini she risks discovering another body.
The Puccini Connection is a cozy English murder mystery with a classical music-loving amateur female sleuth in a picturesque English village with quirky, lovable characters and an extremely grumpy cat. No cliffhangers, gore, graphic violence, sex or overtly strong language.
I entered Plum Tree Cottage, not to the sound of Puccini, but to the sound of laughter — male laughter. I darted towards the kitchen. Which unsuspecting man had Finolla sunk her claws in today? I almost put my ear to the door, but to quote Finolla, "one should never listen at doors, especially if there's a chance one's going to get caught."
Instead, I inched open the door and found Finolla in Adam's arms and, if I wasn't mistaken, they were doing the tango. I'll be honest, I was speechless. Not so Finolla.
"Josie, darling, you're back and just in time."
"Just in time for what?" I could hear the petulance creep into my voice and, gosh darn it, I couldn't do a blessed thing to stop it.
"To be my partner. Adam here is hopeless. Here, let's show him how it's done. I'll lead, shall I?"
Before I had a chance to protest, Finolla pressed a switch on the CD player and Astor Piazzolla's Libertango blasted across the toaster. Next thing I knew, Finolla had me in a vise grip, arms locked, toes pointed and was leading me across the floor towards the dustbin. Our faces were cheek to cheek and I took advantage of this.
"What the heck do you think you're doing?"
"Oh darling, don't tell me all those dance lessons were wasted?"
I heard a snigger. I was going to slap Adam Ward when I got out of this.
"Argentinian tango, darling. That summer in Buenos Aires with Tomás. Bueno!"
"It was Joaquín," I corrected, instinctively kicking my leg backward from the knee. "And I got hives from my polyester hot pants."
Finolla dipped me and I hung on for dear life. "I'd forgotten that part. All that calamine lotion. The Pink Panther had nothing on you."
"Yeah, it was hysterical," I hissed.
Finolla broke away, letting me tumble to the floor. "Oh, Josie, was it really that bad? Remember the empanadas, the chimichurri, the Malbec?"
"Mum, I was thirteen." Although, as a matter of fact, I did recall the Malbec — it had been superb.
The Unread Prophecy
It's summer in Milkwood and life for piano-playing expat, Josie Monroe, is one picnic away from perfect.
When Josie's newly discovered aunt is asked to participate at a local writing conference, Daisy jumps at the chance and ropes Josie in to help. A day in the idyllic Surrey countryside learning about love potions, lock picking and poisons — what could possibly go wrong?
However, when a bizarre murder occurs, events are set in motion that look likely to destroy the happiness of Josie's new best friend, Belle DeCorcy.
Josie once again finds herself wellyboot deep in murder, mayhem and Maltesers. With Belle's sanity hanging by the proverbial thread, Josie must discover the killer--or risk losing her best friend.
Join Josie, Belle, Daisy and the rest of the villagers of Milkwood for a romp through the British countryside in this delightful sequel to The Puccini Connection.
Set amongst the picturesque villages of Surrey, The Unread Prophecy is a cozy murder mystery featuring a classical music-loving amateur female sleuth, quirky, lovable characters, and the world's grumpiest cat. No cliffhangers, gore, graphic violence, or overtly strong language.
Eunice followed my gaze. "Meat fuel's the blood," she added, grasping a deadly-looking carving knife from the table and spinning it like a majorette in a baton twirling competition.
"So, Ms Perkins—"
"Perkins was my maiden name," said Eunice, with a scowl. "Maiden! So antiquated, so patriarchal, do you not think?"
We all stood around and thought about this for a second.
"I go by the goodly name of Mountjoy," Eunice continued.
"Is your husband with you?" I asked, interested to see what type of husband Eunice had managed to snag. Warlock? Wizard? Public accountant?
"He is betwixt this world." A smile coursed Eunice's lips. "I poisoned him!"
"Oh, don't be silly, Eunice," said Mabel Jane, rescuing the knife and returning it to the table. "He got gastroenteritis eating snails in Marbella and died of complications."
Sam Bond is the best-selling, award-winning author of The Cousins In Action series for middle grade readers and The Puccini Connection, the first book in the upcoming Milkwood Murder series.
Sam was raised in a small village in England before moving to the States twenty-five years ago.

Home / News / Dachshund Dotty left in agony after swallowing triple-barbed titanium lure
Dachshund Dotty left in agony after swallowing triple-barbed titanium lure
By Jayne / News / No Comments / 29th October 2018
A dog called Dotty had to be cut free by firefighters — after she got a metal fish hook trapped in her mouth.
Tiny Dotty, a super-curious wirehaired Dachshund puppy aged seven months, found the triple-barbed hook in an angling bag.
She let out a high-pitched scream as two of three hooks pierced her lip, wedging themselves in her mouth.
Frantic Dotty then began dragging the hook – still attached to a fishing line – in ever decreasing circles as she tried to free herself, crying out in pain as she did.
Her distraught owners Sean and Fiona Dean and their 17-year-old daughter Eleana did their best to prise the hook free – but it was jammed solid.
So they rushed Dotty to pet emergency service Vets Now in Winchester, Hampshire, where two vets and a veterinary nurse sedated Dotty before trying in vain to remove the hook.
But the solid titanium lure was just too strong to be cut through.
As a last resort, and anxious that distressed Dottie was just millimetres away from impaling herself on the third hook as well, Vets Now staff called the fire brigade.
Just a couple of minutes later, a fire engine arrived at the clinic with its sirens blazing and blue lights flashing.
Four firefighters rushed in with a variety of equipment normally used for freeing people trapped in car accidents.
But even the firefighters were stumped for nearly 40 minutes until they struck lucky with a pair of cutters strong enough to break through the metal.
Only once the hook was snipped in half were the vets were able to release it from the lip of a now heavily sedated Dotty.
Amazingly, Dotty was strong enough to go home, a little woozy but otherwise unscathed, an hour or so later.
Sean said: "It was a drama from start to finish. I was up a ladder painting when I heard Dotty whelp in pain. It was an awful noise, really high-pitched.


Early this week, a violent crash took the life of one teenager near Cypress, Texas, and left another in critical condition at a local hospital. The wreck occurred last Saturday, on Queenslake and Cypress Rosehill in Harris County.
Around 10:30 p.m., a Harris County Precinct 4 deputy noticed a car driving at high speeds towards him, according to police reports. He turned his own vehicle around, giving chase to the speeding teenagers. The car the girls were driving flipped, however, on Queenslake Drive. The deputy allegedly turned off his lights and sirens – driving off.
Precinct 4 was kind enough to release dash cam video of the accident in question. Despite the evidence, no charges have been filed. The case remains under investigation by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
The driver, Jenna Ellsmore, was airlifted to a nearby hospital in critical condition. The passenger, Lily Haugen, died at the scene.
If you've been involved in a car accident and sustained severe injuries, you must speak with an attorney promptly. To receive compensation for damages, an experienced accident attorney must be on your side.
This is a troubling time. Following a wreck, emotions and stress are running wild. Not to mention any injuries and confusion. First, seek medical attention immediately. Then, give us a call. We'll fight on your behalf to uphold the law and see justice done.

Overcoming Mental Health Issues Can Benefit Physical Health, Too!
Overcoming mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, can have a positive effect on a person's thoughts and emotions, and consequently, overall life experience. But new research also shows that attaining subjective well-being - factors such as life satisfaction, happiness, and enjoyment of life - can have a positive effect on physical health, as well.
Research has shown that mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, can take a toll not only on a person's psychological and emotional health but also on their physical health. In addition to the mental health challenges, mental health issues are often accompanied by frustration, despair, hopelessness, anxiety, unhappiness, and elevated levels of stress. The longer a person struggles with mental health issues, the longer the body is adversely affected. That's the bad news.
The good news is that those who overcome their mental health issues not only improve their mental and emotional health, they can also improve their physical health.
Researchers found that subjective well-being – happiness - influences physical health through healthy behaviors, as well as through the immune and cardiovascular systems. Although scientists are still exploring and debating when happiness most affects health, there is no doubt that it does.
With more research, it may one day be informative for clinicians to monitor individuals' subjective well-being just as other factors are currently assessed. Individuals should also take responsibility for their health by developing healthy mental habits.
This research emphasizes the importance of dealing with mental health challenges. It also underlines the importance of therapy in this role. Therapy can help individuals overcome their mental health issues and help them learn how to take charge of their thoughts and emotions so that the resulting life experience outcome is more joy filled and satisfying.
It's long been known that those who work on behavior modification are happier overall than those who don't. Since happiness, contentment, and peace come from a state of mind, learning how to achieve these states cognitively can go a long way to attaining a lifetime of satisfaction and happiness, which based on this research, can provide a healthy overall physical outcome, as well.
Can we reverse the adverse physical effects of mental illness by overcoming our mental health issues? This new research shows that we can. And, the sooner we do that, the better the outcome.

Want to be notified of new releases in mozilla-releng/releng-hardware?
This is a repository which contains a proof of concept for listening to queue messages regarding hardware under the releng-hardware psuedo-provisioner for the purpose of tracking releng hardware. It is not a fully formed codebase, rather a simple codebase which can be developed into a fully featured tool.
It is written in Python 2.7, but should be possible to convert to Python 3.
The basic idea is to listen to any messages which are sent by the Queue for workers which use the provisioner id 'releng-hardware' and represent activity from a worker. This is a task failing, completing, running or exception-ing. Any of these messages show signs of active life on the instance. It might be desirable to track task exception states for each worker.
Resources in this system are identified by $DC:$HOSTNAME. Basically, I don't know if it's safe to assume that hostnames are unique across all of releng-hardware so I've included the datacenter in the identifier.
A setup.py file is not provided because this is a proof of concept. Writing one is recommended.
This system requires a Redis installation and a Pulse username and password.
The following commands will run the webserver and pulse listener in the background.
A script preload_redis.py exists which takes data in the format returned by the /machines endpoint and inserts it into the redis storage. This shouldn't be needed though, since a 404 response from the /machines/<id> should be enough to know that the machine has not been heard from since the database was last initialized.
A sample deployment is made as Heroku app 'releng-hardware.herokuapp.com'. It uses two dynos, one for the webserver and one for the pulse listener. There is a shared Redis app which is automatically managed by Heroku for storing data.

The authors ( Bauquis and Chetrit) begin their discussion by remarking that the oil industry involves dangerous operations which may have an impact on the physical integrity of the people involved and on the environment, if they are not carried out properly. Hence, the significance of safety and environmental management systems.
Bauquis and Chetrit argue that the best way oil companies to deal with such dangerous operations is to formulate a safety policy and make organisation arrangements for safety in order to reduce the risk of safety incidents occurrence.
They also argue that oil companies should strive to prevent or control environmental problems resulting from their activities, and set out clear environmental targets. This requires putting in place environmental management master plans to be implemented throughout the life of a petroleum project.
Finally, the authors also observe that there are also some ethical issues encountered in the oil industry, affecting the oil companies, host government, local communities and even oil companies' employees. They note that the best approach to deal with ethical issues is to adhere to codes of conduct and to refrain from interfering from local political affairs.


After showing absolutely no talent for cooking in her youth, Jessica decided to learn her way around the kitchen following a mind-blowing, taste bud-spoiling trip to Turkey with her mother during the summer after her freshman year in college. A year later, she'd gone from not being allowed to slice the sushi by her roommates in the Japanese House to making four course meals and cookies for them when she was supposed to be writing papers.
At that point, she met Chris, who loved to cook as much as she now did. He made things for and with her like Indian curry and naan from scratch, French toast from homemade bread, and chocolate crepes with vanilla ice cream, raspberries and homemade caramel sauce. This may or may not have had something to do with why she agreed to marry him. You be the judge.
During her senior year in college, in the midst of writing a grueling honors thesis about authenticity and the Indian novel in English, Jessica and her mother took the series of Wilton cake decorating classes as a way to spend more time together (and put off writing more papers). Oddly enough, it turned out that decorating cakes was more fun than writing papers, and especially more fun than writing her thesis. She slowly switched from looking at grad schools to looking at culinary schools. Ultimately, she graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle's Baking and Pastry program and worked as a pastry cook and bed and breakfast chef.
Between a shoulder injury and a tendency to value perfection over speed, it eventually became apparent that cooking was not the career for her, despite all of the things she loved about working in the food industry (and how much she really, really loved working at that B&B). To make things worse, the house that she and Chris bought had a very, well, "vintage" kitchen, including a tiny side-by-side range and oven that took up most of what should have been counter space. Nothing that went into the oven ever came out right, and frustration ruled any day in the kitchen. Other interests and ambitions took charge, and thrust cooking and baking into the background.
However, now that they've remodeled their kitchen, she is excited to rediscover the techniques and recipes she once knew well and set out to learn more. Her main areas of interest are baking, vegetarian cooking, and chocolate and sugar work. She started her first food blog, Tiger Chow, as a source of extra motivation to get back into the kitchen as much as possible. It worked, and so along came Pie of the Tiger.
When she's not cooking, Jessica is working on two novels, one of which was a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association's literary contest (her second time receiving the honor). She also enjoys photography, mostly of food, nature, and cemeteries both here and in Europe, thanks to research for one of those novels.


Albuquerque, N.M. - History has been made for the Duke City Gladiators (7-5) organization as they clinched their first ever playoff berth in last Saturday's win. The Gladiators defeated the Dodge City Law (7-5) 43-22 and solidified their 4th seed spot in the Champions Indoor Football League post season.
"It was a great way to end the regular season, especially when no one thought we'd get into the playoffs," said Head Coach Dominic Bramante after last Saturday's victory.
Making the playoffs and being only the 3rd year that the organization has been in operation speaks volumes on how far the team has come in so little time. Especially with a talented team that leads the league in multiple categories.
One standout that leads the league on the defensive front is local Albuquerque product LB Jayson Serda who has a total of 107 tackles in the regular season as well as number 1 in the league in returns for touchdowns with 2, 4 fumble recoveries, and 2 fumble return touchdowns.
On the offense, the Gladiator standout is former UNM Lobo great QB Donovan Porterie who also leads the league in several categories. Porterie is 1st in the CIF in total yards with 2,784, 60 touchdowns, 249 completions, and 237.6 yards per game.
The post season picture is set for the Southern Division. The #4 seed Gladiators will face the #1 seed Amarillo Venom in Amarillo and the #3 seed Dodge City Law will face the #2 seed Texas Revolution at Texas on Saturday.
If Duke City wins, they will end up traveling to the winner of the Dodge City/Texas game the weekend of June 17th, 2017.
Duke City fans are encouraged to jump on the "Fan Bus" this Saturday to cheer on the Gladiators. The trip costs only $20 per person and includes a round trip coach bus ride to Amarillo, TX as well as a game ticket. The bus leaves Albuquerque from Tingley Coliseum at 1 PM sharp and will return immediately after the game in Amarillo. Fans can get their tickets at GladiatorTix.com.
Duke City has completed the regular season and takes on the Amarillo Venom for the 5th and final time in 2017. The Gladiators travel to the Amarillo Civic Center for the 1st round of the Champions Indoor Football playoffs this Saturday June 10th with a 6:00 pm Mountain Time kick off against the Venom . Fans in New Mexico can watch all the action online at DukeCityGladiators.com and follow along on social media with hashtag #DCGvsAMA.

Why Has Nationalism Come Roaring Back?
Trump in America, Brexit in the U.K., anti-EU parties in Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, and Hungary, and nativist or authoritarian leaders in Turkey, Russia, India, and China -- Why has nationalism suddenly returned with a vengeance? Is the world headed back to the fractious conflicts between nations that led to world wars and depression in the early 20th Century? Why are nationalists so angry about free trade and immigration? Why has globalization become a dirty word?
Based on travels in America, Europe, and Asia, veteran political analyst John B. Judis found that almost all people share nationalist sentiments that can be the basis of vibrant democracies as well as repressive dictatorships. Today's outbreak of toxic "us vs. them" nationalism is an extreme reaction to utopian cosmopolitanism, which advocates open borders, free trade, rampant outsourcing, and has branded nationalist sentiments as bigotry.
Can a new international order be created that doesn't dismiss what is constructive about nationalism? As he did for populism in The Populist Explosion, a runaway success after the 2016 election, Judis looks at nationalism from its modern origins in the 1800s to today to find answers.
John B. Judis is Editor at Large, Talking Points Memo, and previously a senior editor at The New Republic and a senior writer for The National Journal. He is the author of The Populist Explosion: How the Great Recession Transformed American and European Politics, one of the first books to explain Donald Trump's historic candidacy, as well as seven other acclaimed books about politics and international relations.
He has written for numerous publications, including The New York Times Magazine, The American Prospect, and The Washington Post.

Wentworth (John) Gardens Park

Wentworth Gardens Park
3770 S. Wentworth Ave.
Supervisor: Drennon Jones
Located in the Armour Square Community Area, Wenworth Gardens Park totals 2.53 acres and features a community center with a gymnasium and meeting rooms. In conjunction with the Chicago Housing Authority, the park offers a baseball field, basketball courts, a swimming pool and playground.
After school programs are offered throughout the school year, and in the summer youth attend the Park District's popular six-week day camp.
In addition to programs, Wentworth Gardens Park hosts fun special events throughout the year for the whole family, such as holiday events.
Around 1900, the Chicago White Sox, then the city's only professional baseball team built a ball field at Pershing Road and Wentworth Avenue in the Armour Square community. By 1913, the property had passed to the Chicago Baseball League's (later the Negro National League's) American Giants, who erected a 9,000-seat grandstand there. By 1946, the ball field was gone, and the Chicago Housing Authority began building the 422-unit Wentworth Gardens public housing development on the site of the former ball field. The complex included a centrally-located community center to provide a gathering place for residents of the Wentworth Gardens Homes. In 1964, the Chicago Park District began offering recreational programming at the community center on behalf of CHA. In 1968, the agencies formalized the relationship, with the park district signing a lease for use of the community building and more than an acre of surrounding property. The following year, the park district constructed a swimming pool behind the community center. In 1991, the park district provided new recreational opportunities to residents by adding volleyball and basketball courts, a soft surface playground, a jogging path, and a picnic area. Wentworth Gardens Park and the surrounding housing development take their names from adjacent Wentworth Avenue. The street honors John Wentworth (1815-1888), one of Chicago's best-known civic leaders. Born to a prominent family, Wentworth's paternal grandfather was a member of the Continental Congress and his maternal grandfather served as a colonel under George Washington. Almost immediately after arriving from the East in 1836, Wentworth became editor of the Chicago Democrat, and quickly involved himself in the fledgling city's politics. In 1857, and again in 1860, Wentworth was elected to a one-year term as mayor. He later became the city's police chief and also served five consecutive terms in Congress. Considered one of Chicago's most flamboyant politicians, Wentworth was known as "Long John" for his six-foot-six, three-hundred-pound physique.

MILWAUKEE — An Uber spokeswoman tells FOX6 News a closed-door meeting is scheduled for Friday, June 10th involving Uber officials and those with General Mitchell International Airport.
This, as a 90-day pilot program period involving Uber and Lyft services at the airport is set to expire on June 15th.
The Uber spokeswoman tells FOX6 News at this point, there is no deal in place between the airport and Uber beyond the 15th of June.
According to the Milwaukee Business Journal, airport officials have presented new rules that Uber and Lyft will have to follow to pick up passengers from the airport to the Milwaukee County Board.
The proposed new rules call for fees of $3 for each pick-up, and $125 per pick-up vehicle per year. The airport will install an electronic monitoring system that will track all vehicles used by Lyft and Uber each year and charge the companies accordingly, the Milwaukee Business Journal reports.
These proposed new rules will be discussed during Friday's closed-door meeting — and changes could be made.
Before implementing the pilot program, services like Uber and Lyft were unregulated at the airport, prompting complaints from taxi companies that the fees to operate at the airport were not being applied equally.

"I'll make you nod," said Nigel Hughes.
"In the 1970s there was always somebody around the corner with a Japanese two-stroke you could never hope to afford."
In my mind's eye I pictured my utterly unaffordable 'round the-corner' bikes back in the day: a Suzuki GT250, a GT380 and a GT750 - just as Nigel reeled himself back in from his stare back into the 70s and said: "I had a collection of Suzukis: an AP50, a GT185, a GT250, a GT380 and a 'kettle' - a GT750A."
Nigel, 55, runs Classic Bikes North West in Ashton-in-Makerfield near Wigan. It's an ordered international enterprise operating in the drive, garage, and covered back garden of his semi-detached which looks like you would expect a semi-detached near Wigan to look like.
He repairs, maintains, builds, rebuilds and sells primarily pre-late '80s Japanese two-strokes as well as classic British bikes. He set up in 2009 after an accident working in the building trade left him with a broken knee and a concern he'd not get back into bricklaying.
"I'd always repaired bikes - right from when I was eight and my dad bought me a Suzuki B120 he'd found dumped upside-down in a scrapyard. It was a non-runner, but the mechanical-mindedness of my dad and grandad obviously runs in the family because I got it running again," said Nigel.
"I've sold around 200 modern classic Japanese bikes and classic British bikes - quite a few internationally."
'International business' and 'near Wigan' are two phrases that somehow don't obviously fit together, but Nigel has plenty of experience of the upsides and downsides of international trade.
"But one which really caught me out was the consequence of a series of phone calls from Portugal. This chap, nice enough, found me online after he spotted I had a 1971 Suzuki Hustler for sale.
"But Yamaha RD LCs are gold dust. UK owners just hang on to their bikes, but I managed to find a source in Europe - who I'm keeping secret - who has managed to find me 34 RD250 and 350 LCs. I've got seven left as I speak."
I did a lot of nodding on my visit to Classic Bikes North West.

The scarcity of Florida's buildable land has developers turning to parcels they previously passed over because they contained thick layers of muck. Muck (wet, sticky soil made from decaying plant material) presents several challenges for developers, including, (1) it normally indicates a wetland is present that needs permitting and mitigation, (2) it is geotechnically unsuitable for building upon, and (3) it can contain arsenic in concentrations above residential standards. In this article, we will specifically address the arsenic problem.
Arsenic is typically present in muck for a combination of reasons; some natural and some anthropogenic (human-caused). A primary source of anthropogenic arsenic is the use of herbicides like monosodium methyl arsenate (MSMA). An important first step is to determine what portion is naturally occurring and what portion is anthropogenic. Although any arsenic above cleanup target levels needs to be managed to protect human health, if it is naturally occurring, arsenic generally can be managed safely onsite without the need for deed restrictions (which can lower property values). A well-crafted soil sampling plan and some statistics can usually distinguish naturally occurring arsenic from anthropogenic arsenic.
During arsenic cleanup, another crucial step is matching the cleanup strategy with the project's desired end result. A single development project may have multiple land uses: single-family residential, commercial, open recreational space, assisted-living facility, conservation easement, etc. Each of these land uses may have a different cleanup target level for arsenic. The most cost-effective remedial strategy will typically address each future land use separately.
Before WGI proposes a remedial plan for arsenic, we meet with the developer (including the geotechnical engineer and the general contractor) to understand what earthwork needs to occur regardless of any arsenic remediation. What lakes need to be dug? How much soil needs to be imported or exported for grading and flood control? What earthwork needs to occur to create geotechnically stable subsoils? Then we develop a cost-effective remedial plan that incorporates the earthwork that needs to get done anyway for other site development purposes.
If active arsenic remediation is needed, WGI has a range of effective tools. In some cases, removal and offsite disposal of some "hot spots" are the most economical, followed by soil blending of the remaining muck with soil that has lower concentrations. One of our most common solutions is to over-excavate a lake (especially if the development needs a source of clean fill material) and place the muck in the bottom of the lake. A key consideration here, however, is to test the soil using the Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure to ensure the arsenic will not leach out of the muck and contaminate the groundwater. Also, the environmental regulatory agencies require a comprehensive water quality assessment, including pre-construction (baseline) monitoring wells, to compare to post-construction conditions. Sometimes the best "tool in the toolbox" is to leave some of the muck right where it is, especially if onsite wetland preservation is needed. Our extensive experience shows the most cost-effective solution uses multiple tools from that toolbox.

Michel Bras Toya, located in the Windsor Hotel Toya, has become a must-visit restaurant for those who want to sample the finest French cuisine in Toya, Hokkaido. Simone Cantafion, the chef and director of the restaurant, continues to showcase the heart and soul of Michel Bras' cuisine in each dish, complemented with local Japanese seafood and produce. Patrons often find themselves completely seduced by the breathtaking view of Lake Toya, the flawless and attentive service and, most importantly, the stunning food, presented with the attention that might be devoted to a piece of fine art, with flavors to match.
As much of a culinary shrine as a fine-dining destination, this restaurant has been operated by the Troisgros family since 1957. Michel Troisgros practices a style of cooking known as cuisine acidulée. But regardless of whether you are pursuing one of his creations, or one of the house classic dishes that date from his father's reign as chef, or a bottle from one of the best and most fairly priced wine lists around, it is well worth making a special trip to this hotel/restaurant an hour east of Lyon.
Local fish that has arrived in port that morning and vegetables that have been bathing in the Provençal sunshine until they are ready to be picked are just two of the reasons to visit Alain Ducasse's opulent dining room in Monte Carlo's Hôtel de Paris. The amazing bread and cheese carts, and a wine list that is packed with more cherries than a tart, are a few others.
People say the best time to visit this modern hotel/restaurant located just north of the Ardèche is at the height of the mushroom season, when you can enjoy the all-mushroom tasting menu that Regis Marcon and his son Jacques offer their guests in all its glory like a mushroom tea flavored with tansy flowers served with ravioli stuffed with Burgundy truffle.The wine list is likewise glorious and features cherries from producers like Raveneau and Dujac.
Reviewers say this kitchen, overseen by octogenarian Michel Guérard, a founder of the nouvelle cuisine movement and the inventor of the belt-tightening cuisine minceur, can still cook with the best of them. May we suggest that you pay his hotel/spa a visit while you still have an opportunity to experience his "spare, simple and highly terroir-driven" cuisine?
Her daughter and grandson now do most of the cooking at this classic house in a remote part of Lombardy, but the majestic Nonna Bruna still visits the restaurant's kitchen on a daily basis to make sure the brodo that the tortellini is served in is perfect. We assure you that if you are lucky enough to sample her cooking, you will want her to adopt you.
The restaurant's name translates to "house in the Black Forest." Those fortunate enough to have ventured into the heart of the forest in order to sample Harald Wohlfahrt's German take on haute cuisine will understand why a long line of talented young chefs began their careers in the kitchen of his wonderful restaurant. It is located in a luxurious hotel and spa, and those who have spent the day working on their physiques often opt for Wolfhart's 10-course vegetarian tasting menu.
Getting on in years and in the process of turning over his pots and pans to his son Mathieu, Bernard Pacaud is known for being a fanatic about ingredients and a perfectionist in the kitchen. Serious diners continue to flock to this restaurant in Paris's Place des Vosge in order to enjoy some of the most precise traditional French cooking in the world.
The word "grand" can be easily applied to every corner of Robuchon Au Dôme, even to the hotel it is located in, as it is situated at the circular dome of Grand Lisboa Hotel. From the ultra-high ceilings, gold color cladded furniture, crystal chandeliers and full window view of Macau, giant bread and dessert trollies; everything about this restaurant is designed to impress. The food is as luxurious and extravagant as the setting, and there are no shortage of dishes featuring caviar, foie gras, truffles and langoustines on the menu. You will also find many of Robuchon's classic dishes, such as sea urchin with lobster consommé jelly and cauliflower cream, or roast pigeon served with Robuchon's famous mashed potato. And you can top it off with one of the most impressive wine cellars in Asia, if not the world. Given the restaurant's location, the clientele comes from every corner of the world for what is clearly a splurge meal for most people. However, during the day they offer a very reasonably priced menu, resulting in seats at lunch being highly sought after.
It's difficult enough running one of the top restaurants in the country, let alone two restaurants in the Top 20 . . We could allot this entire review to writing about Keller's signature dishes, which include Oysters and Pearls, truffle custard with black truffle debris, cauliflower panna cotta topped Ossetra caviar and many others. But beyond the lengthy list of creations, what makes the French Laundry so special is the second-to-none attention to detail that the restaurant has exhibited since the day it opened. It's wildly popular with some of our reviewers, many of whom make annual pilgrimages and nearly two-thirds of the people who reviewed the French Laundry traveled from outside California order to eat there. We even had one reviewer who wrote of having paid more than 40 visits to the restaurant.
Helmut Thieltges is the quiet star among Germany's top chefs. He never worked at fancy restaurants or chased fame and fortune, instead spending his time developing his own cuisine— classic, but never boring—which stands out for its product quality and precision cooking. Diners can expect signature dishes that are unforgettable.
One of the most iconic French restaurants in Tokyo, Château Restaurant Joël Robuchon has been serving high-quality French cuisine here since 1994. Starting with the castle-like exterior and luxurious décor, it goes on to dazzle diners with every detail and impresses them with extravagant and pristine ingredients, prepared in meticulous fashion. The classic Robuchon dishes are served here, along with new ones incorporating the finest Japanese produce, seafood and meat. This is one of the most expensive French restaurants in Tokyo, but well worth the price.
L'Osier was established in Ginza, Tokyo, in 1973, making it one of the oldest French restaurants in Tokyo and a throwback to the nouvelle cuisine era. Management recently appointed executive chef Olivier Chaignon to oversee the kitchen, a change that has not had a negative impact on the food. Chaignon has maintained the historically high standards: Every stunningly presented dish is a perfect composition offering layers of mouth-watering flavors. Reviewers often comment about the luxurious space and flawless service.
One of the most difficult things for a well-known restaurant to do is to carry on after its founding chef has departed. But this classic house in the northern part of Burgundy has managed to stay the course, even though its namesake passed on back in 2003. Credit Bernard's ex, Dominique Loiseau, and executive chef, Patrick Bertron – whose menu offers a number of Loiseau's classic dishes, like frogs' legs in a purée of garlic with parsley juice, as well as his own creations, such as a filet of Challans duck that he serves with a spiced fig and hibiscus sauce and preserved turnips – for maintaining such a steady hand and keeping the Loiseau brand alive.
In this restaurant in the Hyatt Regency Tokyo, Michel Troisgros has done an exemplary job of transporting his signature cuisine acidulée from Roanne, France, to Tokyo. The impeccable service allows diners to enjoy long meals without feeling suffocated. The restaurant is perfect for business and casual lunches alike, and is especially wonderful when the sunlight streams through its giant windows. This is a perfect example of what can be achieved when a chef marries nouvelle French cuisine with superior-quality Japanese ingredients.
Though it has been open since 1967, it was during the 1980's that the Minchelli brothers who attracted attention to this restaurant. More than thirty years after this restaurant pioneered the concept of nouvelle cuisine fish cookery, Pascal Hélard continues to serve diners "ultra-fresh fish" that includes Belon oysters the size of your fist and house classics like an escalope of monkfish with Vodka butter and the signature homard à l'orange,, a reminder of the days when pairing fish and sweet fruit was thought of as revolutionary.
Le Bernardin is a must visit for diners who are looking for a serious French meal based around fish and seafood that are treated with the utmost respect and care. Eric Ripert continues to serve what is called, "hands down the finest, most exquisite seafood served this side of the Atlantic," which arrive at your table in creations that include a progressive tasting of Kumamoto oysters en gelée, sea urchin risotto with toasted nori and a citrus emulsion and a surf 'n' turf of escolar and Kobe beef with eggplant fries, pesto and anchovy sauce. Oenophiles could spend an hour or two poring over award-winning wine director Aldo Sohm's list. The attractive new dining room is the result of the restaurant undergoing a complete renovation back in 2011.
Pierre Gagnaire Tokyo, located on the 36th floor of ANA InterContinental Hotel, is no doubt the best of the three Pierre branches in Asia (the other two are in Hong Kong and Seoul). In addition to a gorgeous view from a window table, one can enjoy reinterpretations of legendary Chef Pierre Gagnaire's recipes with the incorporation of pristine local Japanese ingredients and personal touches by Chef Yosuke Akasaka. The dishes here are crafted with precision and perfected through the Japanese spirit of attention to details. Lunch is reasonably priced, but even dinner is not overly expensive when you consider that you are eating in a hotel with exemplary service and getting a taste of one of the world's most renowned French chefs without having to fly all the way to Paris.
Known for its refined cooking, pleasant service and a charming location along the banks of the Yonne river, Jean-Michel Lorain's restaurant continues to be an important stop over for diners who are traveling along France'sNorth/South autoroute.. A little more than 90 minutes away from Paris, it's close enough for a day trip or a quick overnight stay.
Back in 1962, Aimo and Nadia Moroni opened a simple restaurant on a quiet street in a residential section of Milan. Fifty years later, a dining aficionado no less significant than Michael Tusk, chef of San Francisco's Quince, the highest-rated U.S. Italian restaurant in our 2012 survey, says this remains one of his favorite places to eat in Italy. And with dishes like risotto with Nocellara olive oil, baby squids and their ink, capers and lemon along with smooth and crispy suckling pig from Umbria served with rosemary and apple honey, who could blame him.
Jean-Claude Vrinat was considered the consummate host. Although he is no longer with us and the restaurant is now owned by the family who operates Chateau Phelan Segur, this restaurant located in a splendid hotel particulier in the center of Paris still offers refined food, a fabulous wine list and what some argue is the best service team in the world.
If anyone misses the old Alain Ducasse at the Hotel Plaza Athénée, book a table in this dining room that reviewers describe as "luxurious, opulent and majestic." The kitchen is lorded over by Jocelyn Herland, who has taken the reins after a successful stint running the kitchen at the Dorchester in London. According to a plan devised each day by the Ducasse corporate offices, Herland offers diners such options as the five-course Collection Menu, where a meal consisting of vegetables cooked in a salt crust, sea bream with caviar and beetroot, lobster with Jerusalem artichoke and guinea hen with black truffles weighs in at a whopping 380 euros.
By serving dishes like duck liver with green apple and venison with purple curry and a Port wine sauce, Heinz Winkler was the first chef in Germany to build an international reputation. His restaurant, located an hour south of Munich and a similar distance from Salzberg, has remained the premier dining destination in southern Bavaria for more than 20 years.
Ever since Breton-born Ronan Kervarrec took over this kitchen in 2010, he has reinvigorated this restaurant, according to our reviewers. Of course, any commentary on this restaurant has to begin with "the fabulous views of the Mediterranean" and the "unbelievable setting," described as "secluded and romantic." But reviewers report the cuisine "is every bit as good as the view"; one person said, "Even if you are facing a wall the food can stand on its own." Kervarrec's classic French cuisine features dishes like local zucchini served three ways—dressed with orange peel and curry-flavored squash seeds, the flower stuffed with mozzarella and fried in a tempura batter, and crushed with truffles – and red mullet scented with an olive purée and served with a stew of vegetables and almonds.
Serving "perfectly executed" dishes based around Irish ingredients, like a glazed fillet of Wicklow lamb, a pressé of game birds and pan-roasted native red deer, Patrick Guilbaud's restaurant has been the anchor of the Irish haute cuisine movement for the past 33 years.
After spending many years cooking at one of France's top restaurants during the era that Gérard Boyer was running the kitchen, Philippe Mille has done a commendable job of filling GérardBoyer's big shoes at this classic house in Reims that recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. While the list of Champagnes is probably the greatest you will see in your lifetime, it's important to note that you can use it to wash down dishes like with radish, beets and turnips.
Terrines of foie gras, salmon soufflé with Riesling sauce, Bresse chicken with truffles stuffed under its skin and then poached, andbottles of Alsatian wine with some age on them: A leisurely lunch with the Haeberlin family at their charming restaurant by the side of the river Ill remains one of the most enjoyable gastronomic experiences in France.
Giancarlo Perbellini's careful cooking, along with some well-sourced fish and seafood, can be sampled at this elegant restaurant, located in a business park 30 minutes south of Verona. Giancarlo and his wife, Paola, are among the most gracious hosts in Italy.
Responsible for carrying the torch lit by his father-in-law, legendary chef Pierre Wynants, Lionel Rigolet continues to meet the high standards that this magnificent art nouveau dining room, located a few hundred yards from Brussels' Grand Place, has always been known for. Don't miss their signature dish of gray shrimp with oysters and a Riesling and potato mousseline.
While Noma usually comes first to mind when people think of the Nordic culinary revolution, the underpinnings for the regions culinary ascent actually occurred in 1976, when Lene and Sven Grønlykke opened this restaurant. In fact, René Redzepi was working in the kitchen here before he opened Noma. Mark Lundgaard runs the kitchen at Kong Hans Kaelder, and his menu is laced with a French tinge, as seen in dishes such as fresh Norwegian scallops with smoked butter and caviar, Danish black lobster in an onion nage with tomato and artichoke and turbot baked in salt served with its roe, potatoes and a Champagne and mussel sauce.
The building that houses this restaurant-a mansion that was once the residence of Raymond VII, count of Toulouse-is where one of the deans of French cooking, Michel Trama, has been serving a contemporary version of his native Gascon cuisine for the past 35 years.
In the '80s and '90s, when it was located in the 17th arrondissement on the Avenue Villers, Jean-Pierre Vigato's restaurant was popular among both local and international diners. After a bit of a down period, interest in his cooking has been rekindled since he moved the restaurant to an exquisite mansion off the Champs-Elysées.
Luisa and Angelo Vallaza's low-key place is not as well known or as flashy as some of the more famous restaurants in Italy, but you will find fabulous cooking and top-class ingredients at this restaurant located just south 45 minutes east of Lake Maggiore. The wine list contains numerous majestic bottles from every region of Italy, but most of all from the restaurant's own Piedmont region.
When it comes to places to eat corn-fed beef, anyone who tells you they know of a steakhouse in New York City that is serving better steak than Peter Luger doesn't know what they are talking about. That's because whenever a shipment of short loins arrives at any of the top meat wholesalers in town, Luger's is given "first pick," meaning that their buyer is allowed to walk through the wholesaler's cold box and choose the ones that look the best before the competition does the same. In addition to the "ethereal porterhouse steaks," the menu offers quirky starters and side dishes, and one of the city's best hamburgers, made from the trimmings of 28-day-aged steaks and priced at an über-bargain $9.50, is available at lunch.
Those in the U.K. who are looking to recreate the type of regional dining experience that is common in France, where a chef and his family run a restaurant in a renovated chateau, should visit Raymond Blanc, "the dean of French cuisine in Britain," at this lovely manor house outside Oxford, where they raise their own produce and serve dishes like veal kidney, alliums, lovage and red wine jus.
One of the most classic houses in Belgium. Dishes like roasted French scallops with leek; sea urchin and cream with seaweed; and "Sole meunière," with Belgian endive and sabayon with lemon grass show that Geert van Hecke knows how to take advantage of the wonderful products from the nearby North Sea.
With a location 30 minutes west of Alba, Gian Piero Vivalda's restaurant is not as well-known as it would be if it were in the heart of truffle country. But there is no doubt in our mind that the restaurant is a must visit for anyone looking for an authentic Italian regional experience filled with high-quality ingredients and careful cooking. If you go during truffle season, try not to miss the house signature fonduta, topped with what seem like endless shavings of white truffle.
Most people travel to Baiersbronn, a charming spa town in the heart of Germany's Black Forest, in order to take the cure. But we wonder: After spending a day slimming down at the spa, how many people have supped at this elegant restaurant and thrown it all away on a dinner of foie gras with pears and port, followed by some braised veal of suckling calf with celeriac foam, organic egg and Perigord truffle? If that describes your visit to the town, we will understand if you want to lay the blame for the whole affair on Claus-Peter Lumpp, whose refined cooking harks back to a time when it was commonplace for men to wear a coat and tie for dinner, and when the notion of pampering meant a grueling schedule of workouts, mineral baths and massages by day, followed by a bottle of Champagne and thinly sliced scallops topped with Ossetra caviar at night.
Le Grand Véfour is set alongside the gardens of the Grand Palais, and when it opened in 1794, it was the first example of a formal French restaurant. Today a visit affords diners the opportunity to enjoy Guy Martin's vegetable-oriented cooking while sitting on cushions once warmed by the likes of Napoleon and Victor Hugo.
Though it doesn't have the same vaunted reputation as the more famous Elkano, which is run by cousins, diners looking for prime specimens of fish like turbot, hake and tuna should consider this classic asador facing the port in Getaria. You can wash the tasty fish down with a bottle from one of the best cellars of old Rioja in the Basque region.
The opening of Tantris in 1971 marked the beginning of the German Küchenwunder, a movement that changed the evolution of German high-end cuisine. The current chef, Hans Haas, offers straightforward, delicate creations in which no element is redundant. The restaurant's1970s-style interior, beautifully preserved, is considered holy ground by the German dining community.
If you are looking to eat fish that is so fresh that it has never touched ice, reserve a table at this restaurant, where the fish the Sordello family serve only come from local waters. This is also where you will find the most refined version of bouillabaisse on the coast.
Joceleyn Herland leads a team that utilizes the Alain Ducasse playbook to create one of the most refined dining experiences in London. May we add that the posh location in the Dorchester Hotel certainly doesn't hurt the overall experience? Perfect for business or to celebrate a special occasion, especially on a nice day at lunch when the sun flows into the room from the large windows overlooking Hyde Park.
It is rare when a restaurant so closely associated with its founder survives a complete changing of the guard. That task can be even more daunting when the founder in question is the iconic Eugénie Brazier. Mathieu Viannay managed to overcome those odds, and after a period of years in which this classic house fell into decline, he has restored it to its former status. At the heart of Viannay's success are his "gentle twists on the classics of French cuisine," and his versions of Lyonnais stalwarts like poularde demi-deuil and lièvre à la royale "are so good that Viannay has created one of the rare occasions where both classical and modern food lovers will be in agreement." One reviewer described Viannay as "a terrific ambassador for the cuisine of Lyon" – high praise indeed, given that the city's culinary history is replete with chefs the likes of Paul Bocuse and Alain Chapel.
With the iconic Can Fabes now shuttered, those who want to reminisce about the late Santi Santamaria's cooking can do so at this beautiful restaurant in the Hotel Hesperia Madrid, where his influence can be felt in dishes like roasted Figueras' onions with cockles, apples and celery.
While Daniel Boulud's cuisine has the reputation of being traditional French, it is actually far more modern than people realize. Dishes like Louisiana shrimp with Ibérico ham and a tasting of melons or halibut baked on Himalayan rock salt with curried yogurt and Thai basil are in the same vein as what you would find at top contemporary restaurants in Paris today. While the dishes can be innovative, the experience contains the sort of fussy, fawning service that is geared towards a combination of socialites, visiting dignitaries, Upper East Side families commemorating special occasions, a celebrity or three and out-of-towners who want to dress up for a fancy night out. The wine list is "out of this world", complete with out of this world prices.
David Bouley is responsible for a number of firsts. He was the first American chef to utilize natural sauces made from fresh fruits and vegetables in his cuisine, the first to cook fish with the proficiency of the chefs from the Basque region of Spain, and the first to incorporate Japanese and American cuisine in a way that wasn't fusion. And if that isn't enough for you, the number of great young chefs who have come out of his kitchen are almost too numerous to count, and include the likes of Blue Hill's Dan Barber and Brooklyn Fare's César Ramirez's. But maybe the most impressive thing about David is that after 25 years, his cooking isn't dated and he remains one of the country's greatest chefs.
Forty-four years is a long time. But it was 1972 when Giorgio Pinchiorri and Annie Féolde opened this restaurant in a converted palace that dates back to the 1800s. These days you will find the duo greeting guests in the dining room, while the capable Ricardo Monco has assumed the cooking duties from Féolde. Monco has maintained the restaurant's tradition of serving a Frenchified version of Italian cuisine that includes dishes such as an escalope of foie gras with fruit, vegetables and Amaretto and Mora Romagnola pork with spiced salsify. You can't mention the restaurant without noting that it has one of the world's greatest wine cellars, featuring numerous offerings from every country in the world.

Tim McGraw Reacts to Chadwick Boseman's Death at 43: 'Cancer Sucks'
Sterling Whitaker Published: August 29, 2020

Tim McGraw turned to social media to share his reaction to the news of actor Chadwick Boseman's unexpected death at the age of 43, urging fans to come together to fight cancer.
CNN reports that Boseman died on Friday (Aug. 28) in Los Angeles after battling colon cancer since 2016. According to a statement posted to his social media accounts, he died at home with his wife and family beside him. Boseman was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer in 2016 and continued to work on films including Marshall, Da 5 Bloods and more as his cancer eventually progressed to Stage IV.
Best-known for his starring role in Black Panther in 2018, Boseman gave his breakout performance in 2013's 42, in which he starred as Jackie Robinson, the first Black player to play in Major League Baseball in the modern era.
McGraw's father was the legendary baseball player Tug McGraw, and he turned to Instagram on Friday to celebrate Robinson's legacy and mourn Boseman's death.
"Baseball is in my blood, literally...Jackie Robinson was a pioneer and made the game better, stronger and more inclusive ..... On this day our heart goes out to the friends and family of Chadwick Boseman who played Jackie in 42," McGraw writes alongside a split image of Robinson and Boseman in character as the barrier-breaking athlete.
"Cancer sucks, support the @americancancersociety if you can," McGraw adds. "We must fight this horrible disease with everything we can."
Ironically, Boseman's death on Aug. 28 landed on the same day the Dodgers and MLB celebrated Jackie Robinson Day in 2020, delayed from its usual date of April 15 annually due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. April 15 was the day Robinson made his major league debut.
A number of Boseman's entertainment business contemporaries also honored him via social media, Variety reports. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige called Boseman's death "absolutely devastating" in a statement.
"Each time he stepped on set, he radiated charisma and joy, and each time he appeared on screen, he created something truly indelible," Feige says. "He embodied a lot of amazing people in his work, and nobody was better at bringing great men to life. He was as smart and kind and powerful and strong as any person he portrayed. Now he takes his place alongside them as an icon for the ages."
Funeral plans for Chadwick Boseman have not been announced.
