Be prepared by matching talented employees to leaders before those leaders depart
"Welles: Powering up your points"
Back in February, I wrote about the baby boomer retirement wave of federal employees, which is expected to occur from 2008 to 2010. The Office of Personnel Management said the wave will peak a couple of years later for information technology workers. With that in mind, OPM Director Linda Springer said that IT managers must focus on succession planning.
She also said agency chief human capital officers should be conducting risk assessments to determine which employees are most likely to retire and how their absence would affect the organization. Rather than waiting for an employee to leave, plan ahead.
"Start mentoring and get people paired to capture knowledge," she said. "We need to look within and groom people to move up."
Since that column was published, I have received e-mail messages from concerned employees about the impact of succession planning on older workers. An attorney at the Department of Veterans Affairs wrote that succession planning, at least in the federal sector, generates age-based discrimination complaints.
"Any supervisor who gives favorable assignments to younger employees as part of staff development will be hit with EEO complaints," the attorney wrote.
Neither the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission nor the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) has reported any formal complaints related to succession planning.
"It is unlawful to make employment decisions affecting people's jobs or careers based on age," said James Ryan, a spokesman for the commission.
Yet the perception of discrimination exists. Steve Nelson, the MSPB's policy director, said, "Succession planning is often focused on top leadership when we need to be looking at critical skill areas at all levels."
Marta Brito Perez, associate director of human capital leadership and merit system accountability at OPM, said, "Succession planning has nothing to do with age. Succession planning is just identifying high-risk jobs and how to fill them."
OPM created a five-phase model for succession planning. The first step is to link succession to the agency mission. With the mission in mind, managers determine the kinds of talents they need. The next step is to identify retirement trends and compare those trends with the talent needed. Which skills will be lacking and which skills will remain?
A skills-gap analysis leads to a succession strategy. Managers need to identify whether talent that can be further developed already exists in their organization or whether new employees need to be hired.
"There is ample opportunity to create a succession strategy that includes midcareer people, regardless of age," Perez said.
She added that OPM has assigned human capital officers to each agency to evaluate succession plans and provide feedback. "It's not enough to just have a plan in place," she said. "We want to see people promoted or hired from that plan."
Springer advises employees who want to advance to take charge of their future. "Take responsibility for your own career. Let managers know if you are interested in stretch assignments or training. If you encounter problems, contact your HR office, and if necessary, you have the option to file a grievance."

Vt. farmers hit by rains, urged to report damage
WILLISTON In his 40 years of dairy farming in Vermont, Don Pouliot has never seen weather like he has this spring and early summer.
His fields of feed corn on the Browns River in Westford and Essex have been under water five or six times this year. Typically, they flood once a season and dry out, but the onslaught of heavy rains has left them in water and wet silt for long periods, killing or rendering much of the crop to feed his cows useless. Pouliot estimates hes lost 75 percent of his crop.
Two years after Tropical Storm Irene flooded crops and carried away farmland, Vermont farmers are getting drenched again with unprecedented rains.
Its affected every single sector of the ag economy: our dairy farmers trying to grow silage, trying to grow hay, grow feed; its affected our berry farmers, our vegetable farmers, our beef and meat farmers. Theres no one whos escaped some damage, said Gov. Peter Shumlin as he and Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross visited a dairy farm in Williston on Thursday.
They urged farmers to document the damage with photographs and records for possible future aid. They also advised reporting damage to federal Farm Services Agency offices there are nine in Vermont that are collecting data on the weathers impact and are expected to seek an emergency disaster declaration after harvest. A declaration could make loans available to farmers.
Farmers who have crop insurance should contact their insurance agent about the damage and those with coverage through the noninsured crop disaster assistance program should report crop losses or potential losses to their local office, the officials said.
Since the end of June, Vermont has had a near-constant barrage of thunderstorms that has caused flash flooding in many communities. The heavy rains have hit all parts of the state.
In the worst case scenario, Lorenzo Whitcomb of Whitcomb Farm in Williston estimates hell lose 25 percent of his corn crop for his dairy cows. Of his 300 acres of corn, about 50 acres were directly affected by high water or rain and 10 acres of that is likely dead.
Whitcomb is now trying to maximize what he has, adding fertilizer to the fields and hoping the crop will be of high nutrient value.
Pouliot is replacing his damaged corn with sorghum.
With a drier weather in the weekend forecast, farmers plan to be busy in their fields. To give them a boost, Ross urged fellow Vermonters to buy locally produced food and lend a hand in the fields or drive a tractor.
We always in this business have to be optimistic, Whitcomb said. This year, we just have to try a little bit harder to be optimistic.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Prosecutors have dropped an assault charge against a Vermont man who...

Slipknot's Corey Taylor Keeps New Drummer's Identity Secret; Teases New Single + Album Release
Slipknot's Corey Taylor keeps quiet on new drummer, teases first official single and offers expectations for new album release.
Slipknot's Corey Taylor keeps quiet on new drummer, teases first official single and offers expectations for new album release.
Slipknot's Corey Taylor speaks with 'Loudwire Nights' host Full Metal Jackie and offers a huge update on the progress of the band's new album.
Want to see all of the top masked metal bands in one spot? So does Corey Taylor, who would like to get a Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne tour together.
The upcoming Ronnie James Dio 'This Is Your Life' tribute album is turning out to be quite the collection. The latest song to surface online is the Corey Taylor-led rendition of 'Rainbow in the Dark.'
Let's hope Corey Taylor's skin is as thick as his mask, because the Slipknot / Stone Sour vocalist is set to be roasted! Taylor will be ripped to shreds by some brilliant comedians, awesome musicians and even the Slipknot singer's own bandmate Shawn 'Clown' Crahan.
Slipknot are moving forward without longtime drummer Joey Jordison, and Corey Taylor reveals in a new interview (seen above) that all will be alright as far as the writing for the band's next album.
Corey Taylor remains committed to finishing out the touring and promotion of his ambitious Stone Sour double-disc 'House of Gold & Bones,' but he's also started digging in on the next Slipknot album.
As we reported late last night, Slipknot have parted ways with longtime drummer Joey Jordison. The news shocked fans worldwide last night (Dec. 13), leaving us all on the edge of our seats. Will Slipknot continue without Jordison? What about the new album Slipknot just started working on? In a new interview, Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor comments on the Joey's departure and the follow-up to 2008's 'All Hope Is Gone.'
Slipknot / Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor is expanding his artistic horizons. In addition to being a musician and author, he's adding acting to his repertoire. He's set to appear in the feature film 'Fear Clinic.'
Stone Sour's Corey Taylor continues to roll out his 'House of Gold & Bones' vision. After issuing the 'House of Gold & Bones' comics earlier this year, the collection will soon be made available on paperback.
Kings of Chaos are an all-star touring project that features Corey Taylor (Slipknot/Stone Sour), Glenn Hughes (Black Country Communion) and Steve Stevens along with Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N' Roses members Slash, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan. Their only North American show of 2013 will be Nov. 18 in Los Angeles at Avalon Hollywood for a benefit gig called 'Tokyo Celebrates the Dolphin.'
While Slipknot still have no official timeline for recording their next disc, members of the band have been sharing some details on what's in store for the future. In a new interview with frontman Corey Taylor the vocalist shared his thoughts on the possible direction of the new album and when the recording process may get underway.

The federal government is in overdrive seeking ways to be more efficient and more collaborative, and in those efforts, mobile has become the latest buzzword. Now the axiom is set to gain traction when the General Services Administration issues a new blanket purchasing agreement for wireless goods.
The agreement for buying mobile technology in bulk is expected this summer, according to William Lewis, program manager for workplace modernization at GSA's office of integrated technology services.
Lewis said the common blanket purchasing approach is driven by the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative and will help government organizations buy smart phones more easily – and more affordably.
"The way we do it now in the government, we have lots of different contracts. That means a high transaction cost for industry; it also means a higher cost for us," Lewis said May 22 at the GITEC Summit in Baltimore. "We've standardized the requirements, we've got the buy-in of a lot of different agencies through the strategic sourcing process, and it will be a common acquisition at a lower price. That also means a lower price per unit on the service you're buying, and also a lower cost in terms of transaction, which can be very expensive if you start from scratch."
By having an existing acquisition device for buying things like smart phones for agencies, it's dramatically faster and cheaper, Lewis added.
The blanket buying strategy will be helpful for federal organizations looking to mobile to save money, but before that happens, there has to be the right business-case analysis behind the decision – which also can require investment, according to William Adams, unit chief in the knowledge resources unit at the FBI's office of the chief knowledge officer.
"You might be reaching a point where the status quo is no longer acceptable, so you've got to make a change. But the idea is knowing what's the best change," Adams said. "There's not a ton of money floating around, so everything has to actually help you accomplish your mission more effectively. You have to make the business case to decide, 'Is this the best investment? Is it going to return value?'"
Lewis said to get a better and faster return on investment, leadership has to look at the agency as a whole.

To the Editor: Bullying teachers is not productive
I attended the May 13th Signal Hill neighborhood meeting with Superintendent Sheffield as the guest speaker. Here are some of my observations and impressions.
Dr. Sheffield's goals for improving the quality of education in Rockford are notable and even commendable. But I have difficulty with her approach to obtaining these goals. She stressed the need to gain the respect of students and to respect them; however, her attitude toward teachers has been anything but. It makes me wonder whether she made any serious effort to form a collaborative relationship with teachers. Her approach has been to bully, humiliate and intimidate. It leads me to believe that she was not only hired to improve the schools, but to destroy the teachers' union as well. Without a team effort, she will never succeed with bettering our schools. Comments like, "I have people around me who look for ways around the contract,"are not encouraging this team building.
I was also disappointed by the way Mrs. Westholder, current board member, handled the question period. It was blatantly obvious that she would not call on anyone whom she thought would ask a negative question. We deserve better from our elected board members.

The C5200 and C5400 will be direct replacements for the C5100 and C5300 printers and will enhance the ability of workgroups to confidently and easily create a range of high quality colour documents.
John Ross, General Manager Middle East & South East Europe states: "The new C5000 Series represents OKI's commitment as printer specialists to continue to bring better colour printing to SMEs. The improvements that the C5200 and C5400 will bring to SMEs will see them benefit even more from the ability to print effective business communications in-house."
Building on the success of the original C5000 Series the new products bring a number of changes and improvements:
-Faster speed – Up from 12 pages per minute (ppm) to 16 ppm A4 colour and up from 20ppm to 24ppm A4 mono
-An 'Ask OKI' function that will give improved End User support with a direct link from an Ask OKI tab in the driver to a printer specific and personalised customer support web page. These support pages will also stimulate users to realise the full capability of their printer.
-Reduced noise levels – quieter in idle and silent in standby
-Standard and high capacity toners introduced
-Lower running costs
The C5000 Series are the smallest and fastest affordable, digital colour printers for business. The printers meet the specific needs of businesses that want to make a strong visual impression, but which have previously only been able to access colour by compromising on cost, quality or speed.
The C5200 is ideal for the Corporate Office Home Office (CoHo) and small workgroups. Its cost efficiency, speed, quality and ease of use makes it the perfect choice for remote workers such as salesmen or financial advisors who have a need to print clear and professional looking documents to add value to their business. It meets the requirements of CoHos to produce not only more colourful documents, but to add value to their business by enabling them to accurately translate their on-screen business presentations, graphs, scanned files or PDFs into clear and easily understood printed materials.
The C5400 is designed for small corporate workgroups and service environments such as hotel receptions, travel agencies or health clubs. OKI's 2 in 1 technology enables businesses to print black and white documents at a low cost per copy whilst at the same time making it possible to print clear and impactful colour documents and print those jobs previously out-sourced to expensive print houses in-house.
The new C5000 Series are available from OKI Distributors in the Middle East.

Atheists have no Faith. When you look at the Majesty of the Universe or the Balance in Mother Nature that everything is in Harmony or how wonderful the Human Body functions, It´s hard not to believe in a Creator. I can´t tell you how God was created but the atheists can´t dispel him either. I can feel there is something Greater than me out there and if I´m wrong I won´t lose anything and the atheists will be right but if I´m right I will gain an Eternity and the atheists will lose everything.

A couple Jehova´s Witnesses stopped by yesterday, trying to sell me on a one world government based on the laws of God. They were shocked when I said "no way in Hell!" My argument was that it would have to be administered by men, so it is immediately corrupted and will just get worse. I gave historical examples, which they attributed to misinterpretations of the Bible. I asked what has changed to suggest there will be no more misinterpretations. They had no answer. After about a half hour they left with smiles and handshakes but I suspect wont be back.Athieism is wrong, but blind faith is just as wrong.20 somethings should not debate a cranky old Wiccan.

Bill Clinton reviews Robert Caro's new LBJ book for the NYT
"The Passage of Power," the fourth installment of Robert Caro's brilliant series on Lyndon Johnson, spans roughly five years, beginning shortly before the 1960 presidential contest, including the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis and other seminal events of the Kennedy years, and ending a few months after the awful afternoon in Dallas that elevated L.B.J. to the presidency.
Among the most interesting and important episodes Caro chronicles are those involving the new president's ability to maneuver bills out of legislative committees and onto the floor of the House and Senate for a vote. One of those bills would later become the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
You don't have to be a policy wonk to marvel at the political skill L.B.J. wielded to resuscitate a bill that seemed doomed to never get a vote on the floor of either chamber. Southern Democrats were masters at bottling up legislation they hated, particularly bills expanding civil rights for black Americans. Their skills at obstruction were so admired that the newly sworn-in Johnson was firmly counseled by an ally against using the political capital he'd inherited as a result of the assassination on such a hopeless cause.
According to Caro, Johnson responded, "Well, what the hell's the presidency for?"...

- late dinner delightJohnVIPDined on 11/7/2014Popped into Trace on relatively short notice for a late, light dinner. It's in the W Hotel, so you know the bar is a happening place! We were seated promptly at a nice comfortable table in a quieter area. After cocktails we ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer and oysters. The Brussel sprouts were outstanding and the oysters very good. Shared scallops and cauliflower risoto between two of us. Scallops were cooked to perfection and the risotto was just right. Finished off the night with chocolate dessert that was very rich and good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A "best" experiencewhoneedsParisDined on 10/24/2014To say "best" requires a comparison to something else. I was in San Francisco for a long weekend and dined in 3 restaurants. Two were higher end recommended restaurants and Trace I found at OpenTable. It was by far the best of the 3, in atmosphere, food quality, wait staff knowledge, friendliness, and convenience of location. The decor was truly fascinating and eclectic.. I would warmly and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone for a meal on any occasion or just for a fantastic evening at any time. I have traveled a great deal internationally, as has my German dinner companion, and we agreed that the food and it's presentation would rival any restaurant in Paris.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impressiveluv2eatoutDined on 10/22/2014I have had brunch at Trace, and thought it was very good. Dinner, however, is also excellent. We began with the oysters and the brussel sprouts. The sprouts were great. The oysters were also good, with two sauces and lemon on the side, but there were only four, six would have made us happier. I had the pumpkin soup which I thought was tasty. The main course scallops over greens were delicious, and the portions on the plate were just right. One note, I chose Trace because they advertise valet parking at the W Hotel. However, when I pulled in the valet said they were full. I managed to talk him into taking my car, but you should be aware that while they advertise valet parking, it may not be available.Special Features:
- Brussel Sprouts BonanzaPianoManVIPDined on 10/17/2014Go for the Brussel Sprouts appetizer. Truly amazing. Started wonderfully with that and continued. Service from Carolina was superb. She gave us a taste of three Cabernets so we could pick the one we wanted. I've never seen that before in a restaurant. My wife had the roast chicken and I had the Salmon. Both cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. Choice of bread - walnut bread for me, as well as the two others. Restaurant space is beautiful. They even brought us a free dessert sample that was big enough so that we didn't even order dessert. Really a great experience here. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Retrofit heads up?OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/8/2014Had to sit in the lobby for lunch with drilling noise coming from the dining room the whole time... never would have made the res if we knew that was the deal
- wonderful anniversary dinneraimnrodfoodDined on 9/6/2014The staff treated us well and the food was delicious. Perfect anniversary dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Average restaurant in W hotelFoodierachVIPDined on 8/8/2014My friend and I went there on a Friday night. The place was packed for special event. It was very loud but on a regular day I think it may have been quieter. The food was average, I had the roast duck, which was very salty. My friend had the pasta which she said had an after taste! Don't think we would go there anytime soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They Offer 1000 Points for a ReasonInExileVIPDined on 8/1/2014The food is mixed: my companion had some very good salmon while I suffered with underdone poultry. The service is mixed: bus staff is excellent and attentive, but our waiter was nowhere to be seen throughout the meal. There were only 18 people in the entire restaurant so he had no excuse not to be present. Someone thought the dining and extremely loud, pounding club music make a good combination. They do not.
- The following 651 reviews are from the Trace reviews archive.
- Great for a nice datehbull015Dined on 7/17/2014The decor in Trace is very contemporary, and the seating is extremely comfortable. Because of the way the restaurant is set up, it offers a great deal of privacy. The mixed drinks were fantastic, and our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Above and beyondOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 7/13/2014My wife and I went there for her birthday, I requested they create something special for dessert. To our surprise a very artistic and beautiful dessert was prepared for the occasion. they helped make this a very special day.Special Features:

- QuestionableOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/28/2014As walking into this restaurant, there was a pungent fishy smell which made me wonder whether it was a decent place to eat. The host and hostess were very welcoming and sat us down quickly. The server took her time to come and take our order when it was really slow there. We ordered a bottle of wine which was partially spilled. It showed the lack of professionalism and training and attentiveness. The flat bread was too oily and really felt mediocre. The octopus and potato starter was amazing. The entrees were great. I ordered the duck which was excellent with wonderful taste and presentation. The busboys dropped the silverware and nearly spilled the wine on me.Special Features:
- Interesting menudanteumDined on 6/26/2014There were some unusual choices on the menu. I enjoyed the chicken liver mousse, which was great. I added a beet salad to round out lunch, and the two dishes worked together well. Very close and convenient to the convention center, with excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VHung08VIPDined on 6/24/2014The food was better than I was expecting considering it's a hotel restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive, which helped a lot. It's close and convenient so I would definitely consider coming back, especially for one-on-ones.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/9/2014Had dinner with friends during dine-about-time. Great selection of cocktails, wine and the food, of course! I had the cauliflower risotto and salmon. Dee-lish! I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!FooDLoveRDined on 6/8/2014Myself and 3 girlfriends tried out this restaurant while visiting the area from Seattle. It was also the "dine around town" week. We all took advantage of the promotion. The food and service were both great, all our meals were the best we had i our trip to SFO! The beet salad was outstanding, along with the rest of the meal!! FANTASTIC! A great value with the Promotion as well! will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!Special Features:
- Food is tasteydinealotVIPDined on 6/6/2014Haven't been back here since the original restaurant was XYZ. The atmosphere is still nice and the service is friendly and gracious. Was here for "Dine About Town" menu. It was well prepared and nicely presented. The bread is really good, choice of olive, walnut, and sour dough. My only complaint is the house cocktails are $15. Can't imagine how much a regular cocktail would cost. Also, the wine pours are very small.Special Features:
- DisappointedNicknametooshortDined on 6/2/2014This was the wrong place to celebrate an anniversary--so that's on us. The service was OK. The food mediocre to bad. For the price, not worth it. If you want a place to hang out with folks, have a couple of drinks, and then dinner and you're OK with over spending, fine. But in SF there's a million other better places to spend your money.Special Features:
- Great SOMA lunch spotDoloresheightsdinerVIPDined on 6/2/2014I went with two friends for lunch yesterday; we used to go regularly but hadn't been in a few months. It was excellent - our server was great, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious including the tuna salad and the flatbread with sausage, potatoes and cheese - yum! Will go back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 6/1/2014Worth the meal here - stop by if you can! Very cute spot. Crisp, clean, refreshing. And we were there on a beautiful sunny day!Special Features:
- The good $19 hamburgerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/20/2014We entertained clients twice at Trace during a conference. We chose Trace because it's across the street from the Mascone center. The lunch menu has limited options, but everyone found something. All the entrees were well prepared with good presentation. The Hamburger was served with an aioli dill sauce that gave it a fresh flavor. The service was quick and professional, as I would expect in San Francisco. We had a little trouble getting a table, but we were making same day reservation during a conference. On the whole, it's a little pricy, but a good business lunch close to the convention center.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic service!JaneCDined on 5/17/2014The food was delicious, but the service really sets Trace apart. The manager, the hostess, our waiter...everyone gave an exceptional level of great, personal service. Really well made cocktails, nice urban atmosphere, and my steak was perfection. We were heading to Metreon for the evening, it was the ideal place to start our party.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I great place for special occasionJEDABDined on 5/11/2014I love Trace for the contemporary interior, for the service and the short menu. I am tired of traditional, classic, old fashion restaurants. Trace is the place to go to a different, new one. I have been there a couple of times, and will go in the future with pleasure. I loved the friendly waiters, and the short menu, which I found easy to choose from. Food is very tasty, and comes in time - no long waiting. Thank you Trace for the wonderful experience.Special Features:
- Great dining experienceAnonymousDined on 5/8/2014Started with chicken liver pate which was terrifric. Plenty to share and it came with more than enough crostini for the two of us. Beet salad was good but not outstanding. Halibut was light, moist and beautifully presented. Excellent. Shared a chocolate desert which was also excellent. They also make their own bread - three different kinds. Can fill up on the bread alone, it is so good. Will definitely return. Roger, our waiter, was outstanding. Made great recommendations and was a real pro.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner meeting for foodiesHussDined on 5/8/2014i had a dinner meeting with doctors who appreciate good food. We had an excellent table that was very conducive to conversation. The food - every dish, every course was truly special. i was amazed by the combinations and innovation that went into the menu. The outcome from appetizer to dessert was excellent. Our servers was friendly and efficient and made great recommendations. My favorite dining experience during a week long trip to SF and many high end restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- We'd go backItalianSpouseDined on 4/26/2014Great service and really good food. The ambiance is a little cold for me. But otherwise a good choice for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hands down one of the bestOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 4/11/2014Hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had. From the moment I walked in I felt taken care of. From the friendly hostess and staff. The food was amazing. Halibut crudo a must. Along with the fried quale. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The waiter was very attentive offering fantastic wine to pair with the good. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will definitely fine here againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Juice was amazing, food was okaymia1Dined on 4/6/2014I tried this place for brunch with a friend, since we live in town and it was offered on Gilt City. It was a quiet Sunday and wasn't very crowded, and it was very light and beautiful. The juices we got were incredibly delicious -- I highly recommend the one with parsley and mint. The brunch item was pretty good, but I probably wouldn't go back just for the food. The potatoes were a little undercooked, although the poached egg was really well done, and the seasoning was a little bland. It was a nice hotel brunch if you were in town and didn't want to travel far, but with so many amazing brunch places in SF, it's not someplace I would seek out again.
- Hit and MissPAFoodieDined on 4/4/2014The food and service were both hit and miss. Some dishes were good. Some were way too salty. The hostess was great and very attentive and friendly. Our server was polite but seemed annoyed the whole time. The ambience was nice.
- Good experienceYummyDined on 4/3/2014The menu was inventive, everything was delicious and the portions were large enough to share or for two meals. The waiter was accommodating, making sure to get us out in time for a performance. And it wasn't too noisy for a conversation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food was great, especiallyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/30/2014The food was great, especially the starters. The scallops with angel hair was a bit salty -- seemed as though they may not have adjusted for the saltiness in the roe.Special Features:
- Gilt City BrunchSuicidekittyVIPDined on 3/29/2014Wait staff was very warm and welcoming. Food was good and solid, nothing to write home about. Not sure if I will venture to this place for brunch again as there are so many brunch options in SF. Overall good experience.Special Features:

Jul 08, 2014 | By Carolyn Burstein, NETWORK Communications Fellow
Christians in Iraq are one
of the oldest surviving continuous Christian communities in the world. The vast
majority are Aramaic-speaking Assyrians, Armenians, Arabs, Kurds and Turcoman.
These are the lands in which Jesus's apostles and their disciples made some of
the first Christian converts. In an interview in Christian Today (July
2, 2014), Iraq's leading bishop, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Raphael I.
Sako of Baghdad lamented, "We are losing our community.
Jun 18, 2014 | By Marge Clark, BVM
I am befuddled each time I read a commentary tracking our
war in Iraq to 2003. I vividly remember January 1991 when the U.S. led a
massive offensive against Iraq. The intense destruction of facilities such as
airports – and hospitals, schools and water purification plants – was enhanced
by the U.S./U.N. sanctions prohibiting trade with Iraq. This resulted in the
Iraqi people being denied the means to rebuild hospitals and water treatment
facilities, obtain necessary medications, and so many other life-saving items.
