"A mother's broken heart keeps waiting to know something about her only son, whom she has not seen for 670 days. A new hope is born on every sunrise to see Dr Mohamed Arab once again with us."
Who "Disappears"?

"A mother's broken heart keeps waiting to know something about her only son, whom she has not seen for 670 days. A new hope is born on every sunrise to see Dr Mohamed Arab once again with us."
This is why the beheading of reporter James Foley is so important to anyone concerned about human rights in the region. It's important not just because, as Amnesty International says, it is "a war crime," but because Syria right now by most standards is now the most dangerous place in the world for journalists.

In December 2010, Ali Aarrass, a Belgian-Moroccan coffee shop owner was extradited from Spain to Morocco, where Moroccan intelligence held him in a secret prison for 12 days in Témara, near the capital city of Rabat.
Ali described the anguish his muscles and joints experienced while he was suspended from his wrists for extended periods of time, the searing pain of feeling his flesh being burned by cigarettes, enduring excruciating electric shocks to his testicles, having his head held under water until he fainted, being raped with a glass bottle, and having the soles of his feet beaten raw. He remained in the secret holding facility until he signed a "confession" pre-written for him in Arabic – a language he does not speak.

On August 9, Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year old, was shot dead by a six-year veteran of the Ferguson police force. The next day, the community organized protests condemning the actions of the police and demanding to know the name of the officer who shot and killed Michael. Those actions continue still, a week later.
The day after the shooting, I sent a text to my colleague at 3:30 AM. It read, "We need to go to Ferguson." Later that week, I was on a plane, leading the Amnesty International USA human rights delegation to Ferguson, Missouri.
By Muhammed Malik, Amnesty International USA Member
Today, people across the country attended vigils and solidarity actions to mourn the victims of police brutality, a problem that has gripped this nation for far too long.
A few days ago, a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri confronted Michael Brown – a teenager who was full of promise and who had his whole life ahead of him. There are conflicting reports about what happened next, but the end result was the officer shooting the unarmed Brown.
Imagine waking up in a hospital and learning that you are under arrest, accused of killing your own infant.
Despite your efforts to explain that you had a miscarriage and passed out from medical complications, the authorities sentence you to up to four decades in an overcrowded prison where you "suffer harassment, exclusion, and violence both from other inmates as well as prison personnel" because of the accusations against you.

As King Mswati III and his delegation board their royal airplane to Washington, D.C. to lend a Swazi voice to the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, two men remain imprisoned in Swaziland for merely exercising their human right to use their voices.
Today, Amnesty International released new findings into war crimes and other human rights abuses occurring in Nigeria.
Among the evidence gathered in recent field research were a series of videos. The contents of these video inspire horror; as an adjective, to describe the footage as haunting is about as apt as any other.

It's always in the eyes. When we meet with the families of the disappeared there are a range of messages in the eyes – from fear to loss to sorrow – but also an occasional flicker of hope. Dr. Ng Shui-Meng came to Washington, D.C. recently and expressed all these feelings plus one other – determination.
Ng Shui-Meng is demanding an explanation for the December 15, 2012, disappearance of her husband Sombath Somphone from a police checkpoint in the Laotian capital of Vientiane.

Purpose of review: To summarize recent evidence regarding associations of early life exposure to mercury from maternal fish consumption during pregnancy, thimerosal in vaccines and dental amalgam with child neurodevelopment.
Recent findings: Recent publications have built upon previous evidence demonstrating mild detrimental neurocognitive effects from prenatal methylmercury exposure from maternal fish consumption during pregnancy. New studies examining the effects of prenatal fish consumption as well as methylmercury suggest there are benefits from prenatal fish consumption, but also that consumption of fish high in mercury should be avoided. Future studies incorporating information on both the methylmercury and the docosahexaenoic acid contained within fish will help to refine recommendations to optimize outcomes for mothers and children. Additional recent studies have supported the safety of vaccines containing thimerosal and of dental amalgam for repair of dental caries in children.
Summary: Exposure to mercury may harm child development. Interventions intended to reduce exposure to low levels of mercury in early life must, however, be carefully evaluated in consideration of the potential attendant harm from resultant behavior changes, such as reduced docosahexaenoic acid exposure from lower seafood intake, reduced uptake of childhood vaccinations and suboptimal dental care.

Massachusetts town to launch rewards program for turning in violent media and toys
Mayor Robert Dolan of Melrose, Mass. is planning to launch a program that will reward children who turn in violent media with gift certificates and nights without homework, reports The Boston Globe.
Dolan was compelled to start the program, called "New Year — New Direction," in the wake of the Newtown shootings, and hopes to have it running by Feb. 1. Under the program, Melrose residents who discard violent video games, movies, music and toys will receive a sheet of coupons including deals with local businesses and even special "get out of homework free" coupons, Dolan said.
"The child may be getting rid of something they like, but they are getting some value for it," he said.
"In our small nook, we can maybe foster some real discussion and some action on our violent society 'cause we know something's broken."
A similar program was to be held in Southington, Conn. last weekend, in which children could turn in violent video games for a $25 voucher good towards other forms of entertainment. The founding group, SouthingtonSOS, planned to break and burn the collected video games. The return program was canceled, although the group said they were happy with their efforts and felt they succeeded in their goal to "promote discussion of violent video games and media with children and with the families at the home."
"If they were to take away all of these things, it'd still be bad people doing bad things," Dolan told Fox News Radio. "But in our small nook, we can maybe foster some real discussion and some action on our violent society 'cause we know something's broken."
Late last week, Vice President Joe Biden met with several groups to discuss violent video games and come up with concrete proposals on addressing gun violence, including White House Cabinet members and National Rifle Association officials, video game developers and publishers, retail executives and researchers. Attendees told Polygon their meetings with Biden were more focused on exploring current games research and brainstorming how the industry can take more positive steps towards improving its image to non-gamers.

moreThe inimitably witty David Rakoff, New York Times bestselling author of Don't Get Too Comfortable, defends the commonsensical notion that you should always assume the worst, because you'll never be disappointed.
In this deeply funny (and, no kidding, wise and poignant) book, Rakoff examines the realities of our sunny, gosh everyone-can-be-a-star contemporary culture and finds that, pretty much as a universal rule, the best is not yet to come, adversity will triumph, justice will not be served, and your dreams won't come true.
The book ranges from the personal to the universal, combining stories from Rakoff's reporting and accounts of his own experiences: the moment when being a tiny child no longer meant adults found him charming but instead meant other children found him a fun target; the perfect late evening in Manhattan when he was young and the city seemed to brim with such possibility that the street shimmered in the moonlight—as he drew closer he realized the streets actually flickered with rats in a feeding frenzy. He also weaves in his usual brand Oscar Wilde–worthy cultural criticism (the tragedy of Hollywood's Walk of Fame, for instance).
Whether he's lacerating the musical Rent for its cutesy depiction of AIDS or dealing with personal tragedy, his sharp observations and humorist's flair for the absurd will have you positively reveling in the power of negativity.
This edition includes an excerpt from David Rakoff's Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish. less

Due to constant harassment, and unnecessary assumptions on my earier post:
I decided to give out my cases because all of you harassed me to do so, so often. I can only expect the worst from you, because you ALWAYS follow up on the lowest expectations in terms of harassment towards me. Many of you guys harassed me in my ealier post when I wasn't even online during the time where people asked me to post my cases, then made assumptions that i was "adamant" because of refusal to post my cases. What a joke. The first case seems somewhat viable to get reported, whatever, but the other three don't make sense, but i'm sure you all will sniff out any opportunity to get another chance to harass me yet again.
Looking at another point of view from another game from.. lets say xbox or something. I dont play cod or anything but people harass each other all the time and rarely get banned for it, and that is through a mic, and LoL is just through text and I get a perma-ban because of the over sensitivity of the community.
CASES: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/tribunal/en/case/6270661/
Senior Member
I did not even have to scroll down before I saw you calling people "baddies" and "*******." "Why is my team so ****ing derp." "This whole team is ****." I've barely even started, and already, I would have my mouse over the "Punish" button.
You have to understand, that right now you are asking for our opinions, but at the same time, you are acting like we are all self righteous jerks. You have given me very little reason to think you deserve anything other than "Punish."
If you decide to continue playing this game, I suggest you remove all keys other than Q, W, E and R. I ***** and moan all the time as well, but I'll never use my keyboard and actually type it out. No one gets hurt, and no one gets reported.
You are playing with real people, I suggest you start treating them like the human beings they are...
(Also, if you were "harassed" in the other thread, what makes you think it won't happen in this one?)
Yeah you're toxic. You deserved it. The last three games in that case were slightly more mild, but the first one alone is deserving of a ban, even ignoring the few comments you made in the others that are highly toxic. Enjoy your ban.
like i said, probably deserve the report in the lux game, or the first game like i said, no one even said ANYTHING about the other 3 games that didnt make sense to get reported.
i never called anyone any racial slurs, or any homophobic slurs
but arguing with this community is literally like talking to a ignorant brick wall
what a huge waste of time even discussing these things, all you people do is downvote anything negative and just circle-jerk for riot.
Doesn't anyone even notice that my team went 1-11, 4-15, and 0-10? how the guy said that went 0-10:
"You *****ing is just making me choose to die more, just to piss you off"
THAT, is worse than what I said in that game, and I'M the one who gets reported, and banned permanently
The second game, all I even said was "just sit and watch more" and i get reported because my team doesnt follow up with anything
The third game, i said "ad fizz isnt even that bad" he said "building AP tho" and I say "sad day" and he says "cuz **** you" are you kidding me? i get reported because he says "cuz **** you" when i said it was a sad day because he didnt ad fizz, THEN my team just says that im mad and the fizz says "and evidently retarded" HE was the one who called me retarded and said "cuz **** you" for no reason, AND I GET BANNED? no reasoning there
the fourth game i got reported for my name....... tribunal doesnt even SEE the name, so that is automatically a not justified report that resulted in my ban
@Youniverse you say "You feel self-entitled to be respected yet call people "dumb", "retarded", and "bad". and in the 3rd game you said it was "icing on the cake" and "Your claim of harassment is nothing and I advise you look up the definition of the word as you use it incorrectly in-game as well." when the fizz in that game said I was retarded, i called him out for harassment, and you say i used it incorrectly in-game. Quite hypocritical there when you use the term "retarded" against me when I said it, the fizz needed to be reported for the SAME exact reason, and he didnt get banned for it like i did.
Bro, this is a game! And you were playing an ARAM, arguably one of the least serious queues in the game. If you can't chill out in an ARAM I can only imagine your behavior in a normal, or god help me ranked. Even in ranked though this is still just a game where players come to have fun! some people are good at the game, others are not as good. When you play an ARAM you will always get a very wide variety of players and skill ranges. If you cannot handle that then maybe don't queue up and play an ARAM?
You probably wont even read this but whatever. I was not in your games, so I don't know. What I do know is that the tribunal system is broken and people do get banned unjustly, however just skimming though your chat log I know that if I was talked to that way I would likely report that player. I'm not going to take sides and say whether you should or should not be banned, but maybe try not getting so mad at people? You know, people that are in your game for the most part trying there best to play well and have fun and not get yelled at by jerk. when I am in game with an angry person it is kind of like "talking to a ignorant brick wall". Works both ways bro. Try being nice to people in game with you, or maybe start by being nice to people in this thread? Or is there so much going on in your life that even a simple task like that is to difficult to accomplish?
Doesn't matter about my team that game, it was about that fizz more than anything, and he harassed me, and people here say that he was fine, and i'm not, and that is complete and udder nonsensical bull
Like I said, all I can say, is if I were talked down to in a game like you did in some of those games to your team then I would likely report you. Now maybe the fizz should have been reported, I wasn't in the game though.
and looking back at the game, the fizz was actually being worse of a player, before you were. He probably should have got reported for that game.
I can definitely see how you find your ban unjustifiable. there were a few games where you had moments of niceness, where you didn't do anything wrong, or had reason to say some of what you said. But the problem is when you got angry, it came of wrong. Maybe you had different intentions, I don't know. but for example. instead of yelling at your team and saying they are a bunch of ******* for always just diving in and dying. try being productive. ASK your team if they will wait for an initiate. lead them and direct them to winning, don't just talk down to them like you are better then them.
Lets take an unrelated example so that there is no connection to these games and an opportunity to contradict. Say you are in a game on summoners rift and you are all team fighting. its maybe 30 minutes in. You have some players that always get caught and/or never are with you in fights. I run into this problem a lot. The difference between me and a toxic player is a toxic player will tell their team they are bad, and cant fight right. or complain to the enemy that their team sucks. Instead of saying something like, hey guys, lets all try to stick together and push mid. wait for malphite to initiate with his ult before we all go in, maybe we can have a chance at winning this!
The main problem I see, is that you never said anything constructive or helpful to your team, you instead did the opposite, weather or not your intentions were that way. You think that what you say is not that bad, and what other do/say is worse. this might be true, what others said and did might have been worse then what your said, but you NEVER were helpful or really friendly to your team, you were either rude or indifferent.
honestly, Im not sure your behavior warrented a Perma Ban, but I do not know all the facts, and I am pretty sure riot reviews all Perma Bans and checks the chat/game history thouroughly.

Final Score: Minnesota 105, LA Lakers 96
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Kevin Garnett led seven players in double figures with 23 points, as the Minnesota Timberwolves inched closer to a possible playoff berth with a 105-96 victory over the fading Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.
Wally Szczerbiak and Sam Cassell each scored 15 points for Minnesota, which has won five straight and now trails both the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies by two games for the eighth and final playoff berth in the West. Trenton Hassell added 16 points in the win.
"We're making the (playoff) push," said Garnett. "We're just playing good basketball."
Kobe Bryant scored 26 points for the Lakers, whose playoff hopes continue to dwindle with their ninth loss in the last 10 overall. Los Angeles, which could miss the postseason for the first time since 1994, sits 6 1/2 games out.
Caron Butler netted 22 points while Chris Mihm added 11 points and 10 boards in the loss.
Minnesota went into the locker room at the half with a four-point lead, but took control of the ballgame in the third quarter, outscoring the Lakers 35-26.
After Mihm converted a layup under the 10-minute mark to bring the Lakers within two points, 44-42, the Timberwolves slowly began to build a lead that they would never relinquish.
"We played very good offense in the second half," said Minnesota head coach Kevin McHale.
A three-pointer by Troy Hudson made it 54-48 with 7:20 remaining in the stanza and several minutes later, a dunk by Hassell gave Minnesota a seven-point lead, 60-53.
"We had good balance tonight," said McHale of the various players who chipped in points.
Near the end of the period, Bryant's two free throws brought LA within six, but Latrell Sprewell answered over the next three possessions with a pair of layups that sandwiched a Garnett jumper for a 70-60 advantage.
Szczerbiak completed the third-quarter scoring with a three-pointer that sent the visitors into the final frame with a 77-64 lead.
The story was much the same in the fourth. The Lakers on several occasions cut their deficit to single digits, but the Timberwolves were simply too much. Midway through, Bryant's runner in the lane brought LA within 86-77, but Hassell answered with a long jumper and Garnett followed with two free throws for a 90-77 advantage.
Cassell soon after sealed the victory when he banked home a three-pointer that made the score 97-83 with 3:20 to go. The Lakers never seriously threatened again.
"We had a game we had to get, now we've got 10 games left," said McHale.
Game Notes
The Lakers have allowed over 100 points in 15 of their last 19 games...Sprewell and Troy Hudson ended with 11 points each for Minnesota, which outrebounded the Lakers 42-39...The visitors shot 50 percent (5-of-10) from beyond the arc and finished 53 percent overall from the field.

During a job interview with a recent college graduate in 2010, business professional Scott Sokolowski decided to ask an easy question: ?Why aren?t you wearing a suit today?? When the candidate replied honestly, saying simply, ?I can?t afford one,? Sokolowski was inspired to help. He established Save-A-Suit, a nonprofit organization dedicated to one simple goal: helping young talent acquire appropriate, professional business attire for job interviews. Though these efforts are typically geared toward recent male and female college graduates who are often in their early 20s, Save-A-Suit also works with veterans of all ages to help them arrive at interviews dressed professionally.

Sri Lanka Central Bank maintains interest rates, current monetary policy appropriate
Fri, Nov 16, 2012, 08:19 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Nov 16, Colombo: Sri Lanka's Central Bank has decided to maintain current policy interest rates as its Monetary Board is of the view that the current monetary policy stance is appropriate.
Following its monthly Monetary Board meeting held Friday, the Central Bank said the Repurchase rate would remain at 7.75 percent while the Reverse Repurchase rate remains at 9.75 percent.
Current tight policy measures adopted earlier this year to moderate private sector credit expansion continued to prove effective.
The monetary authority said private sector credit growth declined 25.5 percent, year-on-year in September while the cumulative trade deficit for the first nine months of 2012 contracted for the first time since December 2009.
The trade deficit over the first nine months of the year contracted by 0.3 percent to US$ 6.78 billion due to the significant decline in imports by 3.3 percent despite the decline in exports by 5.8 percent.
The broad money growth in September declined sharply to 18.9 percent in September from a peak growth of 22.9 per cent in April 2012.
Inflation continued its downward trend in October marginally declining to 8.9 percent from 9.1 percent in September mainly due to lower food prices.
The decline in the trade deficit together with higher inflows from workers' remittances, tourism, and capital inflows, resulted in a surplus of US$ 269 million in the balance of payments by end September 2012 while gross official reserves increased to US$ 7.1 billion, the Central Bank reported in its monthly review.
The Central Bank expects the arrival of monsoons to boost agricultural production and further ease the food prices while the rising water levels in hydropower reservoirs to ease the expenses on power generation favoring the economic growth.
The slowdown in global economy, especially in Europe, has negatively impacted Sri Lanka's economic growth and reflecting the downturn, growth of Sri Lankan exports too has decelerated during the last nine months.
Based on those developments in the finances, the monetary board has decided to maintain policy interest rates.

Department Seminar Series: Guang Chen, Ph.D., A Long March Towards Joint Asymptotics: My 1st Steps...
Abstract: We consider a joint asymptotic framework for studying semi-nonparametric models where (finite dimensional) Euclidean parameters and (infinite dimensional) functional parameters are both of interest. A class of generalized partially linear models is used as a prototypical example (under the penalized estimation). We first show that the Euclidean estimator and (point-wise) functional estimator, which are re-scaled at different rates, jointly converge to a Gaussian vector. This weak convergence result reveals a surprising joint asymptotics phenomenon: these two estimators become asymptotically independent while the Euclidean estimator achieves the semiparametric efficiency bound. Our first goal is to provide deep theoretical insights into the above phenomenon. A semi-nonparametric version of the Wilks phenomenon is unveiled as an interesting by-product. Our second goal is to develop more useful joint global inference for the same class of models. In particular, we find that "the inclusion of a faster convergent parametric estimator indeed affects the nonparametric global/local inference." This conclusion is against the common intuition that the parametric term (given its faster convergence rate) can be treated as if it were known. In the end, I will discuss a few open problems in this new field.

Crane Flies
These long-legged creatures are often mistaken for giant mosquitoes.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
These long-legged insects, often mistaken for giant mosquitoes, often announce their presence by flying up out of the lawn. Crane flies also fly around porch lights and occasionally make their way indoors. They're usually found in moist areas.
"The larvae of most species live in damp to wet soil or are semi-aquatic to aquatic," says Frank Hale, extension entomologist and University of Tennessee professor. Crane flies are distributed across the U.S., however, and some occur on dry plains.
There are thousands of species and most are beneficial. "The larvae feed on decaying vegetable matter while a few species feed on living plant tissue," Hales says. "And a few species are considered predators." The adults of selected varieties also feed on nectar. In general, crane flies provide food for birds and bats.
A couple of exotic varieties have proven to be pests of lawns, where the larvae feed on grass roots. Robins and other insect eaters can usually keep the population down to a harmless level in most cases.
If you see a crane fly, assume first that it's up to no harm, possibly helping with the decomposition of organic matter. And they pose no stinging threat to humans.
"Although they look somewhat like giant mosquitoes, none bite people," Hale says. "The adults are harmless."

- Nice local restaurant!bowling300Dined on 8/24/2014Very nice inside, clean, variety of foods to purchase. Menu was good, I had the bolognaese, my wife the duck! Both items were excellent! Dessert we had the assorted pastries for 2.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousSocialDinerDined on 8/23/2014We recently brought our out of town friends here. We arrived early and sat at the beautiful bar. The bartender was warm and welcoming and made an amazing Raspberry Mint martini that was so good. Cory our waiter was fantastic and took the time to welcome us back. The food presentation was wonderful and delicious. The ambience and decor are spectacular. Love the outdoor seating! This restaurant is gem and we are lucky they have come to Franklin. Boston quality for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Great Addition to the Suburbs!SplewisVIPDined on 8/22/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our first dining experience at AK Bistro....and promise to be back! The food was delicious, excellent service and the restaurant is just beautiful! LOVED the beet salad! A layer of granola and pistachios on the bottom was like finding treasure and the flavor combo with the beets and dressing is perfect. Also enjoyed a cheese board (bonteparte is AMAZING!), duck breast, haddock and tomato soup. All very tasty! A great experience and look forward to returning soon....with friends!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/22/2014This was our 3rd trip to AK. We raved about it based on our 1st dinner and one lunch. However, the dinner this time was not on the same level as our first. The service was fabulous, but the food was just ok this time. Veggies were over cooked and the sauce on my food didn't even taste the same as the first time I had it. The beer cheese is AMAZING! We would definitely go back again, but would like to see more consistency with the food.Special Features:
- Suburb surprisejr2000Dined on 8/12/2014It isn't often a restaurant opens in the suburbs that can make you feel like you drove to Boston for a night out. It was not only delicious, but also elegant and tastefully decorated inside. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back soon.Special Features:
- Very Good but not consistentgymgirlDined on 8/10/2014We went to AK Bistro on a Friday for appetizers and drinks. It was a great experience - food, service- everything was 5 stars. Decided to go back 2 nights later, and a much different story. Food not as excellent, server less attentive, overall an experience that was so-so. I would go back again, but disappointed with lack of consistency.Special Features:
- Fabulous Food in FranklinOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/9/2014We were so thrilled to find a Boston quality restaurant right here in Franklin. We have not had a good upscale tasting restaurant, in Franklin, since Girards Bistro. The food was terrific! It tasted amazing the next day in my doggie bag. Service and drinks were top notch. can't wait to go back again.Special Features:
- Great Food!TESARDined on 8/2/2014The food was excellent! The portions are much larger than your traditional bistro food! The cheese tray appetizer was great. ( something different for us) we usually get calamari...which we did and it was perfect! We will defineltly be back and recommend AK bistro to others!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinner with wife and parentsDanoDined on 8/2/2014I'm hard to please, possibly because I payed for college by waitering at an extremely high-end restaurant. Ryan was our waiter. He was great; knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining, and a good salesman. The food was excellent, but the breading on the calamari quickly became mush. When I mentioned this, I was told "sorry about that." The decor is very nice too. The only dislike was the table behind us of two 30 year-old guys and their 40 year-old ladies were obnoxiously loud to the point we couldn't hold a conversation without yelling across the table.Special Features:
- Hidden GemKatLakeDined on 8/2/2014My husband took me to AK Bistro to celebrate my birthday. We had read the amazing reviews online and had never even seen the restaurant before, even though it is close to us. Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, the best calamari I have ever had, and fun cocktails. We will definitely be back for the next special occasion!Special Features:
- PerfectFoody86VIPDined on 7/31/2014My second time here. Much improved from when they first opened. Better menu with perfect portion sizes. Had a fantastic cocktail called "Cape 'N Stormy" which was a play on a Dark 'N Stormy but with a local rum from Truro Mass. Service was on par with similar caliber restaurants in Boston. It's nice to see a restaurant like this close to where I live! We can't wait to bring friends!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could be in Boston!BarbDined on 7/27/2014Food and service on a par with Boston restaurants, but reservations, traffic and parking much easier!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of the ordinaryJohnnyBeagleDined on 7/26/2014Hard to believe I was still in Franklin. AK Bistro felt more cosmopolitan, maybe even European int he atmosphere. Wait staff was professional, hard to come by these days. Menu does not overwhelm with hundreds of choices, just a dozen or so wonderfully prepared entrees, a selection of appealing appetizers and wine list that left me wanting to come back soon.Special Features:
- excellentcaroleDined on 7/26/2014our 1st time and had a very good experience food very different but excellent!!! atmosphere outstanding We loved our waiter Andrew hot rosemary bread with olive oil really nice!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the ambiance but...oneilk4Dined on 7/25/2014The rest of the experience doesn't live up to the great decor. I have been twice for lunch and once for dinner. Lunch was good but the service a little slow. Prices were reasonable. Went for dinner the other evening and was disappointed. The patio dining is awesome though! The Caesar salads have too much Dijon in the dressing. The main course portions were inconsistent. The duck was a very small entree for $30 yet the chicken portion was massive. The cookie tray for dessert tasted like they came from a box or were previously frozen. I really want to love this place but I think it needs to step it up a bit in order to justify its prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HIGHLY Underrated GemWorcesterGalDined on 7/24/2014I thoroughly enjoyed my entire experience top to bottom. The cheese selections were superb, the crostini they serve with the cheese was fantastic and I couldn't stop eating it, the wine selection was perfect (Spencer helped me choose a great wine based on what I said I liked, and he was spot on!), the meals themselves were really tasty and most of all, I appreciated how Ryan (our server) took the time to understand my desire not to eat meat, and to stick to reasonable calories, and went out of his way to get amounts of ingredients for me, and made sure there was no meat in my dish (I really appreciated the care he exhibited!). I think this place is really special and more people should go! It's SO chic in there too. Awesome date spot.Special Features:
- Delightful SurpriseHungryTravelersVIPDined on 7/22/2014We hoped to find a pleasant place for lunch with friends. What we found was outstanding: delicious food, excellent service, upscale decor. The day boat scallops were terrific, as was the pastry platter which we shared. We enjoyed every minute.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Worthwhile Experience!thelastdonDined on 7/18/2014We had a small group to meet, enjoy lunch and discuss a project we are working on. Look forward to returning!Special Features:
- Great Neighborhood RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/3/2014We booked on Open Table at the last moment, on July 3rd. We didn't know what to expect, given the holiday. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, seated at a great table, and coddled by a friendly crew of servers. The food was very good, and the portions were large. The scallops with lobster croquettes were wonderful, as was the roasted chicken penne. We each had enough left over for lunch the next day. The asparagus salad was also delicious. The food was on a par with Cafe Assisi and Zebra (two of our favorite local restaurants). We'll definitely add AK Bistro to our rotation of favorite local restaurants.Special Features:
- Great Local FindBeachgal2Dined on 6/29/2014We went early enough so noise level was very low and good for us to communicate. Ambiance was great along with the service! Ryan (server) was friendly and checked on us frequently, but was not bothersome. Food was served in style and was very good. Missed having any kind of ravioli to choose from, but they have home-made pasta. Expensive but would recommend for a nice evening out.Special Features:
- AK Bistro - Better than Boston!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/28/2014First time to AK Bistro. Read the online reviews. Decied to take a chance for my wife's birthday celebration. A bit ashamed I had not stopped in earlier. I have no idea how long they've been in business, but they certainly have a professional, upscale, high-service establishment that serves excellent cocktails, apps, and entres. Server was polite and knowledgeable. Drinks arrived quickly. Brisket Flatbread used as an appetizer. Substantial-Too much for 2 people as an app, but that was our choice. Very delicious. Dinner arrived after we finished the flatbread. Scallops and Short Ribs. Could not have been more flavorful. Had some interested croquette-type accompaniments. Sauces were rich but not heavy. Too full for desserts. A+++ RatingSpecial Features:
- local find in FranklingreatdayDined on 6/27/2014I have lived in Franklin for 30 years and we have never had a great restaurant. Artistry Kitchen is the only "fine Dining" spot around. It has some of the best food I have had anywhere and the service was perfect. Don't let the unassuming location fool you. It is an experience as good as any found in Boston.Special Features:

- Great Food, Okay ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/20/2014Food was wonderful and ambiance was vibrant and chic. Service was okay. Our waiter was responsible for too many tables so we never got bread, refills on water or asked how food was until we were finished eating. We've been here once before and had outstanding service so we are hoping this was just a fluke.Special Features:

I like the fact that they removed the sofas from the dining room and replaced them with tables. Also added an outdoor seating area. The chow was very good. Place on a Sunday night was not very busy. Hope people support the place... the area needs it.

Blanc is my favorite so I was very happy to see that. Good draft beer selection also. We shared a cesar salad that was very nice, maybe a hair over dressed, maybe. Flatbread pizza with mushrooms and scallops with lobster croquettes came next, the scallops were perfectly done, wonderful, the croquettes were a bit undercooked, they took them away and within a few minutes brought me a new plate, perfectly done! They were so kind about this, and the server and mgr both spoke to me, they handled it perfectly. We will return!Special Features:

- So Delish!JenniferACaliDined on 6/10/2014I recently took some customers here. They live in the area, but had never been to AK Bistro. All the locals were skeptical driving in, the area is not know for fine-dining, but everyone was very pleasantly surprised! This is one of the best meals I'd had in a long time, and the team I brought could not stop raving about it. The interior looks brand new with very high-end finishes. It is elegant and modern, but not stuffy, in every way possible. It's relatively small, perfect for our party of 8. We ordered a variety of dishes, all were perfect. I started with the chowder, which was one of the best I've every had! Each and every person was gushing about AK Bistro for the next several days. I truly can't wait to go back!Special Features:
- All aloneLuvsavVIPDined on 6/8/2014Went for Brunch on Sunday at 1:00. We were the only table in the dining room. The Ambiance and decor were beautiful. The staff friendly. The menu was very limited. I ordered the Ceaser Salad $10.00 which was very small for the money and very dry. The clam chowder was tasty but again very expensive. May try dinner sometime but never again for bruch.Special Features:

I found the menu interesting, and I am please that this restaurant is close to my home. We enjoyed oysters on the half shell, and we had scallops and the haddock special, two good choices. They did run out of one of the vegetables, and I also think the oysters. I enjoyed my IPA on tap, though I was surprised how strong it was (best to put % alc on the menu). Overall, I will be back to this restaurant.Special Features:

Girls hoops: Seton leads wire-to-wire in beating Saguaro
Originally published: Jan 20, 2014 - 12:00 am
Saguaro girls basketball coach Chris Young believed his team had an opportunity early in the second quarter Monday afternoon to come back at wounded Seton Catholic.
With senior standout Julia Barcello sidelined by three fouls seconds into the quarter, there was rhyme to Young's reason. Seton, however, had something to say about that.
The Lady Sentinels actually built on their lead in the second period sans Barcello, taking it from single digits to double digits by intermission and went on to defeat the defending Division II state champions, 46-37, at the 11th annual MLK Classic at Grand Canyon University.
"I thought we could make a run at them," Young said. "They're a hard team to beat. And it shows they are not a one-player team. They're a great team."
Seton (19-1) jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first three minutes. The margin was 15-8 after the first quarter. When Barcello, who drew two fouls in the first period, notched No. 3 to begin the second, teammate Heather Heild was concerned briefly.
"I think we stepped up when that happened," Heild said. "When I heard them say it was her third foul I thought, 'This is bad'. We prepared hard for this game. I think I stepped up, we all stepped up some."
Heild and fellow senior Crystal Eze combined for 20 of Seton's 28 first-half points. Eze eased the burden on the boards in the opening half with Barcello on the bench, grabbing six rebounds and finishing with nine. Heild led all scorers with 16 points and Eze chipped in 11. Eze missed last season with a knee injury.
Seton was mindful all afternoon of Saguaro's ability to shoot the 3 and in trying to control leading scorer Casey Rarrick. Rarrick managed 15 points, but had a very tough time from the field. Rarrick connected on 5 of 24 shots. As a team Saguaro shot 20 percent from the floor (10-of-50) and was outrebounded, 46-29.
"We came out fired up," Seton coach Karen Self said. "The girls wanted this game badly. They knew it was the defending state champs. This was antest to see where we are at."
Barcello took over on the boards in the second half and contributed 9 of her 11 points. She finished with 17 rebounds, adding another large amount to her career-school record in that department. Seton's lead reached 15 (35-20) midway through the third quarter.
A turnover-plagued, fourth quarter by Seton (nine) didn't bite the Lady Sentinels. Saguaro (15-5) made only one field goal in the final period, but did manage to outscore Seton in the period, 10-7.
"It was hard for us to come back because we just couldn't make shots," Young said. "I thought we got some good looks. It was an off-shooting nght."

Report: Ilya Kovalchuk insists on $100M deal
Jul 4, 2010, 10:30 PM EDT
Earlier reports circulated that Ilya Kovalchuk and the Los Angeles Kings seem to be at an impasse after the Russian winger rejected GM Dean Lombardi's "best shot" offer. While these rumors haven't been confirmed by the Kings or Kovalchuk & Co., Elliotte Friedman states that the Kings went as far as they could without "jeopardizing…
How Patrick Kane compares to the best American-born forwards in NHL history

With the good old U.S. of A. on the minds of many, I thought I'd put together a couple posts on American hockey. Obviously, when thinking of red-white-and-blue hockey, it's natural to think of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Looking at the roster for the '06 Olympic team that failed to impress versus a young, scrappy…
Ilya Kovalchuk rejects Los Angeles Kings' 'best shot'
Jul 4, 2010, 6:30 PM EDT
It seems that Ilya Kovalchuk's quest to have his hockey cake and eat it too continues, even if the journey seems to be fueled by delusions. Helene Elliott reports that the Los Angeles Kings – widely considered Kovalchuk's most logical suitors – have been turned down by the seemingly picky Russian. All signs indicate that…

2010 NHL Free Agency: Penguins sign Brett Sterling to one-year, two-way contract
Jul 3, 2010, 6:00 PM EDT
The Pittsburgh Penguins decided to go for expensive defense over pricey wingers this summer. While I'm not sure Paul Martin is really a $5 million per year blueliner, I think Penguins GM Ray Shero went in a wiser direction given the superior supply of D-men and the shallow pool of UFA forwards. That being said,…

There were a handful of low-level signings in the last couple hours. Let's take them on one-by-one. The St. Louis Blues re-signed gritty forward Brad Winchester. To go along with enforcer Derek Boogaard, the New York Rangers bolstered the grit and knuckle-throwing abilities by re-signing Brandon Prust. The Phoenix Coyotes signed small center Andrew Ebbett…

You know it's a shallow pool of forwards when Matthew Lombardi is one of the most promising candidates, but that is the case this summer. The Nashville Predators signed Lombardi to deal for three years, $10.5 million according to Pierre LeBrun. Lombardi's speed and two-way play have always been there, but last year seemed like…

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed forward Nikolai Kulemin to a two-year, $4.7 million extension according to Darren Dreger. The 23-year-old Russian scored 36 points during the 09-10 season and 31 in 08-09. He's a young player who has shown some solid potential. He also earned a considerable jump in time on ice from his rookie…

2010 NHL Free Agency: Ducks, Bobby Ryan struggle to find common ground on extension

For the most part, NHL teams and their players are allies. The one notable exception, though, is when a team goes into contract discussions with its players and their agents.

The Minnesota Wild signed former Calgary Flames forward Eric Nystrom to a three-year, $4.2 million contract according to Bob McKenzie. At age 27 with a career-high of 19 points last season, it's hard to say that Nystrom justified the Flames' decision to make him the 10th pick of the 2002 draft. He's a gritty player,…
2010 NHL Free Agency: Blackhawks exodus continues as Oilers sign Colin Fraser

2010 NHL Free Agency: Minnesota hands Matt Cullen three-year, $10.5M deal
Jul 1, 2010, 7:00 PM EDT
To me, Matt Cullen evokes the old saying, "Jack of all trades, but a master of none." Cullen seems like a good character guy, is an adequate defensive player, is well above average when it comes to face-offs and can put the puck in the net on occasion. Rarely would you say that he's the…

Ed Miliband promotes 'mansion tax' in ex-Huhne seat
Ed Miliband promoted his plans for a "mansion tax" and to introduce a 10p tax rate, during a visit to the hotly contested Eastleigh seat today.
The Labour Party leader hopes to woo the Hampshire borough - formerly represented by disgraced Liberal Democrat ex-cabinet minister Chris Huhne - from the the Conservative party.
He said that Labour was in favour of reviving the 10p income tax rate - a move that could be paid for by a levy on £2 million-plus homes.
"This is a living standards by-election, that's the issue on the minds of so many people in Eastleigh - not being able to afford the weekly food bill, not being able to afford to fill up the car," Miliband said.

The Contribution of Income to Improved Nutrition in Cote d'Ivoire
AbstractThis paper estimates a reduced form nutritional status function, that includes a linear combination of independent variables which explain the household's per capita consumption expenditures. Instrumented consumption expenditures are considered a good proxy for permanent income, and the findings indicate that they are an important determinant of long-term (or chronic) malnutrition. Income, however, does not have a significant effect on current (or acute) malnutrition. Mothers with more education will be less likely to have children who suffer from acute malnutrition when controlling for income levels. The education of the father, however, does not confer the same positive benefits upon his children's nutritional welfare, except as mediated through higher earnings. Parental height, especially of women, also has an important impact on long-term nutritional status. The characteristics of the village in which the household resides also play an important role in determining levels of malnutrition. Copyright 1994 by Oxford University Press.
