Crimson face?
Harvard could get smarter about its endowment
Harvard University could get smarter about its $33 billion endowment. Jane Mendillo, who has managed the Ivy League university's portfolio for six years, is leaving at the end of 2014. Her predecessor is partly to blame for crisis losses, but Harvard nevertheless seems to have overpaid for mediocre returns.
Mendillo arrived amid a whopping 27.3 percent investment loss in the year to June 2009, depleting Harvard's coffers by $10 billion. Had the Crimson kept pace with the average U.S. university endowment, which slumped by 18.7 percent according to NACUBO-Commonfund data, the decline would have been $3 billion less severe. Mohamed El-Erian, who ran Harvard Management Co between stints at bond fund giant Pimco, shares the burden for Mendillo's poor start.
Since then, however, returns have only been so-so. In the year to June 2013, Mendillo's team generated 11.3 percent against a peer average of 11.7 percent. Over five years, which includes the start of the downturn, Harvard's annualized return was just 1.7 percent, according to executive search firm Charles Skorina, the worst of 12 big schools analyzed and well under the 4 percent U.S. endowment average. Mendillo conspicuously omitted five-year performance figures from her last two annual reports, showing three-year data instead.
Harvard consistently beats its own benchmarks, though they don't always look so challenging. For instance, the private equity sector target was just 10.6 percent for fiscal 2013. Mendillo's 11 percent narrowly beat that but fell far short of public equity markets where the university had less exposure than other schools.
It is the so-called Yale model, however ironic given the natural rivalry between the two universities, which has dogged Harvard. The idea is to take advantage of a very long-term investment horizon to make illiquid investments in private equity, real estate and other areas that should theoretically outperform more easily tradable equivalents. It hasn't worked in practice lately.
Meanwhile, Mendillo earned $5.3 million in 2011, according to Charles Skorina, easily exceeding her main counterparts elsewhere. On a simple measure of performance-for-pay, meanwhile, she ranks last among the dozen endowment bosses sampled. The comparatively high-pay habit dates back at least to El-Erian's predecessor, Jack Meyer. As Harvard seeks a new investment boss, less of both Yale model investing and Wall Street compensation may be in order.
Readers' comments (2)
It's perfectly ridiculous to accuse El-Erian to "share the burden for Mendillo's poor start" as the years of Mendillo's tenure have been a steady uptrend while El-Erian had to cope with the most severe market downturn in almost a century.
Thanks for the comment. The view makes clear the comparison is relative to other endowments. Mendillo took the job in July 2008, so the brunt of the crisis damage was to the allocation already in place. Since the hit was so much worse than for other endowments, her predecessor must have got something wrong.

Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: Kris MG, Hesketh PJ, Somerfield MR, Feyer P, Clark-Snow R, Koeller JM, Morrow GR, Chinnery LW, Chesney MJ, Gralla RJ, Grunberg SM. American Society of Clinical Oncology guideline for antiemetics in oncology: update 2006. J Clin Oncol 2006 Jun 20;24(18):1-16. [110 references]

Nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer
Adult and pediatric patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy
Literature Search Strategy
The initial search for this systematic review identified relevant articles from an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality–funded Evidence-Based Practice Center report completed at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). The dates of the OHSU literature search of MEDLINE were 1966 through October 2008. That evidence review was limited to trials including the newer antiemetics: aprepitant (neurokinin 1 [NK1] receptor antagonist) and 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists. Initially, two literature searches of MEDLINE were completed by American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) staff. The first included all relevant search terms (see the Data Supplement [see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field]), overlapping minimally with the OHSU search, from September 2008 through December 2009. A second search, excluding the OHSU intervention search terms, overlapped briefly with the search for the 2006 ASCO update, ranging from February 2004 to February 2010. This second search was designed to identify new adjunctive therapy. The Cochrane Collaboration Library electronic database was also searched, using the terms emesis, vomiting, and nausea. Data presented at the ASCO and the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) annual meetings available since the 2006 update were also searched systematically using the terms vomiting, emesis, and nausea, but only presentations or posters were included. Data presented only in abstract form were excluded. Yield from hand searches of bibliographies from relevant articles and materials provided by Update Committee members was also assessed for inclusion. Another search of MEDLINE was completed, including all intervention terms, after preparation of the preliminary draft to determine if any new trials had been published. Meeting materials were not searched again.
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
Trial reports of randomized studies or other systematic reviews from scholarly articles or meetings eligible for inclusion met the following criteria: (1) intervention was for the treatment of nausea or vomiting secondary to cancer therapy, (2) nausea and/or vomiting outcomes were reported, (3) patients were observed for a minimum of 5 days (120 hours) after initial chemotherapy administration, and (4) each trial arm included a minimum of 25 randomly assigned patients.
Thirty-seven trials met pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria for this systematic review. Two systematic reviews from the Cochrane Collaboration were identified; one surveyed the pediatric literature. The other compared the relative efficacy of the 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists.
Not applicable
Data Extraction
Eligible reports were identified in a first round of review by an American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) staff member; these were later discussed with the Co-Chairs to reach a final decision. Full text copies were obtained for assessment of inclusion/exclusion criteria. Articles that provisionally met inclusion criteria underwent data extraction by ASCO staff for patient characteristics, study design and quality, interventions, outcomes, and adverse events. Evidence summary tables (Data Supplement; see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field) were reviewed for accuracy and completeness by an ASCO staff member who was not involved in their original preparation.
Study Quality
Trial characteristics extracted to rate quality included study design, definition of terms, and outcomes.
Panel Composition
An Update Committee was formed to review data published since 2006 and develop updated recommendations.
Consensus Development Based on Evidence
The 2011 Update Committee met once at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Headquarters Office and once via teleconference to consider available evidence and develop recommendations. Additional work on the guideline was completed electronically. Members of the steering committee and ASCO staff prepared a draft guideline document that was disseminated for review by the entire Update Committee.
Update Methodology
This update reviewed 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist equivalency, considering use of these agents either with or without a neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist. Other key questions included the use of NK1 receptor antagonists in the moderately emetogenic and high-dose chemotherapy setting, the use of alternative drug formulations, and antiemetic therapy for children; the complete list of questions included in this guideline update is provided in the original guideline document.
The guideline developers reviewed published cost analyses.
As per standard American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) practice, the guideline was submitted to Journal of Clinical Oncology for peer review. Feedback from external reviewers with expertise in antiemetics was also solicited. The Update Committee, the ASCO Clinical Practice Guideline Committee, and the ASCO Board of Directors reviewed and approved the final document.
Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting
Highly and moderately emetogenic antineoplastic agents have the potential to induce both acute (≤24 hours) and delayed (>24 hours) nausea and vomiting after chemotherapy. The guideline recommendations include prophylaxis for both types of nausea and vomiting where appropriate.
This guideline update includes the most recent recommendations (see Table 1 in the original guideline document) developed by the Update Committee. A table with intravenous agents organized by emetic risk is included below. The intravenous risk stratification schema was originally published in 1997 and was updated at the Multinational Association of Supporting Care in Cancer (MASCC)/European Society for Medical Oncology 2009 consensus conference. The modified stratification from MASCC was adopted by ASCO for this guideline update. Dosing schedules are also detailed (see Table 3 in the original guideline document).
Table. Emetic Risk of Intravenous Antineoplastic Agents
Clinical Question 1
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting from highly emetogenic antineoplastic agents?
Recommendation 1. The three-drug combination of a neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist (days 1 through 3 for aprepitant; day 1 only for fosaprepitant), a 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist (day 1 only), and dexamethasone (days 1 through 3 or 1 to 4) is recommended for patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy. This recommendation remains unchanged since the 2006 update but has been reworded for clarification. The Update Committee also recommended reclassification of the combined anthracycline and cyclophosphamide (AC) regimen as highly emetogenic.
Clinical Question 2
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting from moderately emetogenic antineoplastic agents?
Recommendation 2. The two-drug combination of palonosetron (day 1 only) and dexamethasone (days 1 through 3) is recommended for patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. If palonosetron is not available, clinicians may substitute a first generation 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, preferably granisetron or ondansetron.
Limited evidence also supports adding aprepitant to the combination. Should clinicians opt to add aprepitant for patients receiving moderate-risk chemotherapy, any one of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists is appropriate.
Clinical Question 3
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting from low emetogenic antineoplastic agents?
Recommendation 3. A single 8-mg dose of dexamethasone before chemotherapy is suggested. No change from 2006.
Clinical Question 4
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting from minimally emetogenic antineoplastic agents?
Recommendation 4. No antiemetic should be administered routinely before or after chemotherapy. No change from the original guideline.
Clinical Question 5
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting from combination chemotherapy?
Recommendation 5. Patients should be administered antiemetics appropriate for the component chemotherapeutic (antineoplastic) agent of greatest emetic risk. No change from the original guideline. Anthracycline-cyclophosphamide combinations are now classified as highly emetogenic.
Clinical Question 6
What is the role of adjunctive drugs for nausea and vomiting induced by cancer treatments?
Recommendation 6. Lorazepam and diphenhydramine are useful adjuncts to antiemetic drugs but are not recommended as single agent antiemetics. No change from 2006.
Clinical Question 7
What is the role of complementary and alternative medicine therapies to prevent or control nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy?
Recommendation 7. No published randomized controlled trial data meeting the inclusion criteria are currently available to support a recommendation about such therapies.
Special Populations
Clinical Question 8
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with cancer therapy for pediatric patients?
Recommendation 8. The combination of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist plus a corticosteroid is suggested before chemotherapy in children receiving chemotherapy of high or moderate emetic risk. Because of the variation of pharmacokinetic parameters in children, weight-based doses of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists higher than those used in adults may be required for antiemetic protection. No change from 2006.
Clinical Question 9
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting in patients who are undergoing high-dose chemotherapy with stem-cell or bone marrow transplantation?
Recommendation 9. A 5-HT3 receptor antagonist combined with dexamethasone is recommended. Aprepitant should be considered, although evidence to support its use is limited.
Clinical Question 10
What is the optimal treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting for patients receiving multiday chemotherapy?
Recommendation 10. It is suggested that antiemetics appropriate for the emetogenic risk class of the chemotherapy be administered for each day of the chemotherapy and for 2 days after, if appropriate. No change from the original guideline. The Update Committee suggests, on the basis of limited data, that patients receiving 5-day cisplatin regimens be treated with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist in combination with dexamethasone and aprepitant.
Clinical Question 11
What is the optimal antiemetic regimen for patients who experience nausea and vomiting secondary to cancer therapy despite optimal prophylaxis?
Recommendation 11. Language from the 2006 guideline was reformatted for clarity. Clinicians should (1) re-evaluate emetic risk, disease status, concurrent illnesses, and medications; (2) ascertain that the best regimen is being administered for the emetic risk; (3) consider adding lorazepam or alprazolam to the regimen; and (4) consider adding olanzapine to the regimen or substituting high-dose intravenous metoclopramide for the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or adding a dopamine antagonist to the regimen.
Clinical Question 12
What treatment options are available for patients who experience anticipatory nausea and vomiting?
Recommendation 12. Use of the most active antiemetic regimens appropriate for the chemotherapy being administered to prevent acute or delayed emesis is suggested. Such regimens should be used with initial chemotherapy, rather than assessing the patient's emetic response with less effective treatment. If anticipatory emesis occurs, behavioral therapy with systematic desensitization is effective and suggested. No change from the original guideline.
Radiation-Induced Nausea and Vomiting
This guideline update includes an updated risk stratification table according to site of radiation treatment. The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) updated the radiation therapy emetic risk table at the MASCC/European Society for Medical Oncology 2009 consensus conference (see Table, below); this was adopted by the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) for this guideline update. Dosing schedules, according to risk level, are detailed in Table 2 in the original guideline document.
Table. Emetic Risk by Site of Radiation Therapy
Data adapted from Gralla RJ, Roila F, Tonato M, et al: MASCC/ESMO antiemetic guideline 2010. http://www.mascc.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId88041
Clinical Question 13
What is the optimal prophylaxis for nausea and vomiting caused by high emetic risk radiation therapy?
Recommendation 13. On the basis of extrapolation from indirect evidence, the Update Committee recommends that all patients receive a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist before each fraction and for at least 24 hours after completion of radiotherapy. Patients should also receive a 5-day course of dexamethasone during fractions 1 to 5.
Clinical Question 14
What is the optimal prophylaxis for nausea and vomiting caused by moderate emetic risk radiation therapy?
Recommendation 14. The Update Committee recommends that patients receive a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist before each fraction for the entire course of radiotherapy. Patients may be offered a short course of dexamethasone during fractions 1 to 5.
Clinical Question 15
What is the optimal treatment to manage nausea and vomiting associated with low emetic risk radiation therapy?
Recommendation 15. The Update Committee recommends a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist alone as either prophylaxis or rescue. For patients who experience radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV) while receiving rescue therapy only, prophylactic treatment should continue until radiotherapy is complete.
Clinical Question 16
What is the optimal treatment to manage nausea and vomiting associated with minimal emetic risk radiation therapy?
Recommendation 16. Patients should receive rescue therapy with either a dopamine receptor antagonist or a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Prophylactic antiemetics should continue throughout radiation treatment if a patient experiences RINV while receiving rescue therapy.
Clinical Question 17
What is the optimal treatment to manage nausea and vomiting during concurrent radiation and chemotherapy?
Recommendation 17. Patients should receive antiemetic prophylaxis according to the emetogenicity of chemotherapy, unless the emetic risk with the planned radiotherapy is higher. No change from the original guideline.
None provided
The recommendations are based on 37 randomized controlled trials and two systematic reviews. Refer to the "Literature Update and Analysis" sections of the original guideline document for specific evidence for each recommendation.
Appropriate use of antiemetics based on patient's emetic risk category
Adverse events associated with use of antiemetics include constipation, diarrhea, and headache.
Guideline Policy
This practice guideline is not intended to substitute for the independent professional judgment of the treating physician. Practice guidelines do not account for individual variation among patients and may not reflect the most recent evidence. This guideline does not recommend any particular product or course of medical treatment. Use of the practice guideline is voluntary.
Limitations of the Literature
One limitation of the trials was that a number of studies included patients who received either moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy without reporting subset analyses for patient groups according to emetic risk. Findings from such combined trials are challenging to interpret in the context of an evidence-based recommendation for a specific risk class.
An implementation strategy was not provided.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.

While numerous documentaries and a George Lucas-backed Hollywood film have been made about the Red Tails, aka, The Tuskegee Airmen, none have captured the heart and spirit of their story better than Ford Theatre's production of Fly. Directed by the renowned Ricardo Khan, Fly tells the harrowing story of four young African-American soldiers battling not only the World War II axis, but also racial discrimination within the US military.
Though not a musical, Fly sort of feels like one, using dance and post-depression era jazz and blues to recount the highlights of the Tuskegee Airmen's emotional journey into history. Among the show's most successful and metaphorical elements is the Tap Griot played by Omar Edwards. He is a constant mystical presence who uses tap dance to convey the joy, angst, and fury of the soldiers. Edwards, who stomps and shuffles with intensity, does not disturb the action and dialogue of the main characters, but instead beautifully enhances each scene. Likewise choreographer Hope Clarke and fight director Rick Sordelet create special moments, such as Military marches and the celebratory fraternal line dance, that while clearly technical and complex, manage to accentuate the Black squadron's successes and failures. Not to mention, they resonate with the crowd and often prompt uproarious applause.
Scenic designer Beowulf Boritt alongside lighting designer Rui Rita and projection designer Clint Allen construct a clean set complete with geometric hanging panels onto which are projected archival footage, bursts of light (simulated gunfire), and cloud-filled skies. As a result we get to see the world from the airmen's sky high perspective. Pretty cool! Surprisingly successful is the use of a few mere chairs to mimic airplane cockpits, the actors jutting left to right, back and forth to simulate flight, air combat and turbulence. The narrative is so compelling audiences readily buy into this suspension of disbelief.
Fly's four main characters, the Tuskegee Airmen, are a colorful quartet. Each hopeful airman has a distinct and entertaining personality. The foursome displays an obvious chemistry and brotherhood marked by both camaraderie and tension. Mark Hairston's portrayal of Oscar, an almost excessively prideful West Indian native, is charming and likable despite the character's shortcomings. Damien Thompson (J. Allen) offers a grounded and confident performance as an Iowa native and the group's "race man." Eric Berryman is a light-hearted, often comic presence as W.W., a slick Chicago-born playboy with unexpected depth. "If I can dream it I can be it" the character wisely avows. Lastly, Christopher Wilson's portrayal of Chet Simpkins, the squadron's doe-eyed youngster is delicate and endearing. From the very first scene in which Wilson directly addresses the audience as a much aged, nostalgic Red Tail, we are effusively invested in his story. Costume designer Toni-Leslie James and sound designer John Gromada further authenticate the lives of the aforementioned characters with fitting period clothing and music. Zoot suits, bomber jackets, and sultry, smoky, moody blues numbers remind the audience of a former era, a time still lovely though fraught with overt racism.
…resonates with the crowd and often prompt uproarious applause.
Actors James Konicek (Captain O'Hurley), Matt Bassett (Bomber Co-Pilot Shaw), and Clark Young (Bomber Pilot Reynolds) somehow manage to inject some humanity and self-deprecating humor into the potentially unlikeable, racist WW2 pilots they portray. While playwrights Khan and Trey Ellis teeter toward cliché when writing the roles of these hopelessly clueless White soldiers, all three characters are given a mild reprieve as they reluctantly face their own bigoted tendencies. We understand that they are products of their environment with the capacity to change for the better.
Fly is less about detailing the elaborate history of WW 2 and more about capturing the spirit of the elite African-American fighter squadrons who overcame racial intolerance in order to serve their country. While the play offers no real surprises, it does re-tell a significant American story with simplicity and respect. Khan and Ellis have written an inspiring family friendly play. And if that weren't enough reason to see Fly, an original Tuskegee Airman and living legend, Dr. Roscoe C. Brown Jr., serves as the play's production advisor.
Running Time: 90 minutes, with no intermission.
Fly is at Ford's Theatre, 514 Tenth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004, and runs through October 21. For more information or for tickets click here.

Carlton Gebbia seems to think that her "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" co-star Kyle Richards has some serious double standards when it comes to the other women on the show.
During a recent episode of the show, Kyle confronted Lisa about claims she brought tabloids about her husband's alleged cheating to Puerto Rico. Although Lisa denied having done so, Kyle chose to believe Brandi, who originally told her about the tabloids, and told Bravo cameras that she wanted an apology from Lisa.
Following the episode, Carlton took to her blog where she slammed Kyle for her double standards when it comes to Lisa and Brandi.
"Kyle seems so hell bent on an apology from Lisa — for what?" Carlton wrote in her Bravo blog, according to a March 7 report by Wetpaint Entertainment. "Did you also demand that same apology from Brandi, too? Just curious?"
Prior to their new friendship, Kyle and Brandi had feuded for years. At one point, Brandi even accused Kim's sister of being on meth. The pair exchanged several unkind words, but during season four, became friends.
Carlton also added that Yolanda Foster was "absolutely delusional" for saying that Lisa's early exit from the cast's trip to Puerto Rico was a hint at her guilt.

Tunis, — The meeting of the Crisis Response Unit chaired, Saturday, by Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa, looked at the situation on the Tunisian-Libyan borders and the security precautions to prevent terrorist threats and dangers.
According to a news release issued by the Crisis Response Unit, the PM decided during the meeting to reinforce the presence of the National Army in the buffer zone, which was created by a Republican decree in the South of Tunisia. Access to this zone which is under a reinforced military and security control, is only by prior authorisation, the news release reads.
Besides, Jomaa decided to mobilise the necessary human and material means to secure the coastal border line and increase control and surveillance to thwart any infiltration attempt.
The news release points out that the Premier also decided to set up a joint authority to devise an "immediate and direct" intervention plan and face the terrorist acts and a joint special unit including National Army and security force units operating 24 hours a day to intervene immediately in case of terrorist threats.
"Jomaa also called for reinforcing the military and security efforts on all fronts to guarantee the country's security," the news release specifies.
The Crisis Response Unit hailed the efforts made by the National Army, security forces and customs authorities to preserve the country's security and integrity."
The meeting was attended by the Interior, National Defense, Foreign Affairs, Justice, Transport, Social Affairs, Health Ministers and the Minister Delegate to the Interior Minister in charge of Security.

There was a chance Friday night for the Wolf Pack to climb out of the Eastern Conference 15th and final spot. The team has 44 points this season and was only five points behind Bridgeport in the standings. The Pack also could have gained ground on Adirondack and Portland, both are tied with 47 points.
Hartford fell behind early in the first period and played down 1-0 through most of the first period. It was Ryan Bourque scoring his 14th goal of the season that tied the game at 1-1. Bourque beat Bridgeport goalie Ander Nilsson with only three seconds left in the first period.
The Pack scored the only goal of the second period when Justin Vaive scored his first Wolf Pack goal. Vaive was the games second star, the goal gave the Pack a 2-1 lead. Hartford had played from behind, they had played tied and they played with the lead all before the third period even began.
Four of the games seven goals were scored in the third period. The first one came when Bridgeport Center Joel Broda tied the game at two just over six minutes into the period. The teams played deadlocked until Marek Hrivik scored a power play goal giving the Pack a 3-2 lead with less than five minutes remaining. The Wolf Pack were looking to kill of the last couple of minutes and take the win. Unfortunately it was going to be a long last five minutes for the Wolf Pack.
Bridgeport was awarded a power play when Wolf Pack Captain Aaron Johnson was called for interference at 16:12 of the third. Bridgeport left wing Anders Lee scored with only 2:25 seconds left in the game.
The collapse became complete when Lee scored again with 31 seconds left in the game, giving the Wolf Pack almost no time to attempt to tie the game. The Pack went through it all in this game, they held the lead, were tied and played from behind, but in the end they found themselves without a point.
The bad news?
The Wolf Pack hit the road to play the Springfield Falcons. The Falcons are leading the Northeast Division and have a 33-15-1-4 record. They have clinched a playoff birth and are sitting second in the Eastern Conference with 71 points. They are 7-2 against the Wolf Pack this season and 4-1 when at the Mass Mutual Center.
The good news?
The Wolf Pack have won the last two games against Springfield, one at home and one on the road. Both times the Pack won 5-2.
The question will be can they beat the Falcons for a third time in a row?
You can find out by listening to Bob Crawford call the game on Fox Sports Radio 1410AM.

Julia Hülsmann: Kiss From A Rose
Kiss From A Rose
Julia Hulsmann (piano)
The End of a Summer (ECM 2079)
Julia Hulsmann (piano),
Marc Muellbauer (bass), Heinrich Köbberling (drums).
Composed by Seal.
Recorded: Oslo, Norway, March 2008
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
There are many ways to turn a pop song into a lush jazz tune. Here, without being academic or pompous, German pianist Julia Hülsmann teaches us one such way, carving a highly enjoyable piece that reveals its delicately swinging beauty second after second. Hülsmann knows this terrain: her first three records (on the German ACT label) saw her accompanying Norwegian
Rebekka Bakken, Italian Anna Lauvergnac and German Roger Cicero, who all sing on the border between jazz and pop. Invited by ECM to record with her trio alone, Hülsmann tackles this hit by British pop star Seal.
Right from the start, the song's three basic chords are stated twice by the piano, with slight dissonance and much space between them. Even before the bass introduces the chorus, followed by the whole trio dealing with the melody, we're far from the overproduced original pop song, and deep into jazz playing. Each instrument, by the quality of its timbre and phrasing, is a true voice, and space is the keyword. The space between each player allows them to fully interact, and space between notes lets those resonate, suggesting the harmonic atmosphere rather than stuffing it with sounds. And the paradox is that, at a slower pace and with fewer instruments than the original, this cover more firmly grips the listener's attention, unfolding its harmonic, melodic and rhythmic surprises at a slow, majestically swinging pace. A beautiful lesson in transforming pop songs into jazz tunes, indeed!

The saganaki wings
See-worthyby Lisa Shames | Photography by Anthony Tahlier | CS magazine | September 26, 2013
It can't be easy opening a restaurant in a hotel these days. While in the past hotel restaurants were, more often than not, afterthoughts, they've now become destinations all their own. The catch? They still have to please the sophisticated traveler and picky Aunt Betty, as well as the food-savvy local. Plus, their location in a hotel dictates breakfast, lunch and dinner are a given, which means the space has to look just as pretty in the morning as it does at night.
Not an easy task, mind you, but Travelle, in the just-opened Langham Chicago, manages to do all that. I imagine its location in an iconic 1960s skyscraper designed by Mies van der Rohe—the first 13 floors of the former IBM building, to be exact—doesn't hurt. Nor do the lovely views of the Chicago River and surrounding downtown buildings. Personally, I love that Travelle's location on the second floor makes you feel like you're in the heart of the city—watching the cars wind around the lower-level parking garage of Marina City towers across the street is mesmerizing—rather than looking down on it from a lofty perch.
For the River North restaurant's decor, hot-shot designer David Rockwell opted to follow the sleek, clean look of the building. Smart move. In the 124-seat dining room, you'll find a mix of custom and vintage midcentury modern pieces, including a semicircle freestanding banquette and buttery beige leather-topped chairs (just try to resist running your fingers over them). In the neighboring lounge, the vibe is a bit hipper, with a 30-foot digital art display and mod curved couches. Two floor-to-ceiling wine walls separate the spaces—clever and functional.
The same can be said of the glass-enclosed kitchen, headed up by chef Tim Graham, who previously worked at Tru and Paris Club. Two other Tru vets are also onboard: General Manager Serge Krieger and Wine Director Richard Hanauer, whose global wine list offers plenty of interesting by-the-glass options (I particularly liked the crisp, fruit-forward 2011 Domaine Fouassier Clos Paradis Sancerre). "Without getting too hokeypokey about it, there's an energy transfer that can happen between the cooks and the guests that doesn't happen when there's a wall between them," says Graham. "We get to see the guests enjoying the food, and they get to see us cooking it."
And enjoy it I did. For food inspiration, Graham looks toward the countries surrounding the Mediterranean. (The restaurant's name, after all, is a play on the word travel.) Rather than limit himself to well-known areas—say, Spain, Italy and the South of France—Graham expands his horizons, tapping into the ingredients and dishes of Turkey, Greece and Egypt too.
Take, for instance, his saganaki wings from the Diminutive Introductions section of the dinner menu (a bit overwhelming, the menu also includes sections dedicated to caviar, seafood towers, charcuterie, crudo, soups and salads, flatbreads, fish, pasta, mains and sides). For the dish, the six plump poultry pieces are first sprinkled with fennel liqueur before they're lit on fire tableside. A squeeze of lemon douses the flames and adds a nice acidic balance to the juicy meat.
As showy as that dish is, the hamachi crudo, on the other hand, earns my nod of approval for its simple preparation; the five slices of raw fish sit in chilled grape-ginger water and are decorated with bits of marcona almonds for texture.
For the Seacuterie, Graham's riff on charcutuerie, the flavors of the sea come through loud and clear (non-fish-lovers, you've been warned). On my visit, the rotating selection included a rich 10-layer salmon-and-herb-butter terrine, smoked whitefish rillette and a bouillabaisse "dome"—think pieces of lobster, cod and clams suspended in a fragrant gelee. Weird, sure, but delicious, too, as were the tangy pickled red onions and baby squash that came on the wood cutting board it's served on.
Nothing weird about the plump discs of short rib ravioli, which are paired with an earthy Moroccan-inspired herb sauce.
And how's this for crossing culinary preference lines? My 6-foot-4 dining companion, known around the office for his expertise in smoking large pieces of meat, cited the dainty dish of cumin-flavored beets and goat cheese mounds dusted with crisp quinoa as his favorite. Or, more specifically, "There was just enough cumin to leave me wanting more," he says. As for me, someone who eats salads more often than I like to admit—at 5-foot-2 it comes with the territory—it was the suckling pig from the Mains menu section that I can't stop thinking about. Coming from famed gourmet purveyor D'Artagnan, the pig meat gets a flavor boost from two days of brining in duck fat. Its ubercrispy skin topping the thin layer of luscious fat is courtesy of a quick dip in the deep fryer before serving.
Desserts at Travelle from Pastry Chef Scott Green follow the same culinary direction as the main menu, which makes for a lovely segue between the two. Options include Nutella baklava with balsamic pearls, almond olive oil cake and, my favorite, Moroccan baked apple with pieces of spiced cake and a refreshing lemon verbena essence.
Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, comes at breakfast. Rather than sticking to boring staples, Graham gets creative, offering six versions of eggs Benedict. Even poached eggs feel the love with the addition of a terrific housemade savory olive-studded biscotti. "There's a lot of fun stuff I've had stored up in the memory banks that I never had an outlet for," says Graham. We, for one, are glad he has one now.
300 N. Wabash Ave.,
Hours: Open for breakfast and lunch Mon.-Fri., dinner nightly, and brunch Sat.-Sun.
Menu: First courses $8-$17, mains $17-$55, desserts $9
You've Been Served
Don't be surprised if one of the chefs brings out your food. "Who knows the food better and who's more excited to talk about it?" says chef Tim Graham.
Top Chef
Those looking for a more personal dining experience can book the 10-seat chef's table next to the glass-enclosed kitchen for a specially curated meal.
Bar None
Besides offering terrific river views, the lounge area features a separate menu and gratis bar snacks, like spiced fried chickpeas and marinated olives with cured feta.
The Need for Speed
Those strapped for time will appreciate the Wabash Express three-course lunch—chanterelle risotto, perhaps?—which guarantees a 40-minute dining experience.

For Freedom and Nationality!
n. c. MF.IICEM, Editor.
The Conpromlitri at Washington.
The Compromisers are busily employed
at th?ir great work in Washington, and
will probably present their bantling to
Congress in a short time. While the
ftfflo of the Union are awake to the
grand questions of the day, and the
trmies of the Union are going on from
triumph to triumph, and the enemies of

do not comprehend its momentous

must be conscrTative, or the country is
mined!" Now rnnnenralism is an ad
mirable thing, and not only po but essen
tial to the existence of every government,
and so far as the word signifies the pre
servation of what is goexl we are conserv
ative. And so far on the other hand as
radical means uprooting and destroying
what is good, we are anti-radical. But
xre bave heard this cry of Conservatism
and radicalism too long not to know that
the first term is often used to express that
which obstructs the path of human pro
gress, while radicalism is an epithet used
to brand that course of action which is
prompt, bold and decisive. When a man
lacks moral courage to strike like a hero,
he eteps timidly back from the scene of
danger and calls himself conservative,
and such a man is Bure to call his inde
pendent, bold and energetic neighbor,
who fixes his eye upon one great and he
roic purpose and lets collaterals and
minor consequences take care of them

Well, what are these Congressional con
atrvatives aiming at in their efforts to

trying to poison and assassinate your
soldiers, a slave should accidently run off,

On no account hold leading rebels in
custody, but if you do, lionize them and
feed them high at first-class hotels.
The first grand requisite is for our
army to protect rebel property, especi
ally negro property, and rather than this
should not be done, let the Constitution
and the Union perish!
This is a fair statement of tho creed
which old political fossils aro trying to
force upon this nation. The army of the
republic is to be fettered and disarmed in
the flush of success and mado subservi
ent to the whims of a clique of compro
misers, who seem more anxious to f cure
the reinstatement of the rebel leaders in
their former political power than to re
deem a struggling nation. If such dis
astrous counsels prevail we may expect
to see Davis, Stephens, Wigfall and
Floyd in Washington before many
months, again uttering their treason
boldly and defiantly in the ears of the
National Council.
We utterly repudiate inch uiiachievoua j
heresies. They are fraught with nothing
but mischief and disaster. II the com
promisers carry through their plans, trea
son, far from being destroyed, will pause
only while it takes a breathing spell and
gathers fresh strength to renew its at
tack upon the Union. We shall have a
troubled sleep for a few months until
conciliation has given over the chief posts
of honor and profit to the arch-rebels.
And then when "treason has done its
worst," tho clangor of the lire-bells, the
rlai of general conllagration. the crash
vt toppling buildings, and the shriek of
mortal agony will again awake us to a
drama tenfold more dark, and bloody
and horrible than that now being enact
t J. We shudder as we now contemplate
the picture. There is but one way to
destroy this hellish rebellion. We must
atrike at its heart without mercy. Not
a vestige of it must be left. When we
cut off its hydra heads the wounds mubt
be burned over with red-hot iron, lest like
thereof the dragon ol 'Hercules the heads
of the monster sprout forth afreth.
Strike hard, strike home, and strike
heavily. No matter what perishes the
"Union must be preserved." The Nation
must live at whatever cost. Such is the
voice aad irrevocable fiat of our twenty
five millions of people and woe to the
politician who hints that in any event
this republic may be left to perish! The
army sweeps grandly on like an advanc
ing ocean. The people shout "Onward
with the flag!" Mercy and "Unity mutt le
ezfended to (lit deluded and mistaken masses
if they will reptn', but for the arch-rehels we
have nothing save banishment and death.
Nullification In the I nlted Ntafva
' Senate.
We have been exceedingly mortified
at some late remarks made in debate by
Senator Davis of Kentucky. Ilia origi
nal remarks were so treasonable that a
member sent a copy of them to the
Clerk's desk to go on record, whereupon
Senator Davis made the following expla
nation: I said that in my judgment, Congress
had passed unconnlilutional measures,
and so far as these measures are uncon
stitutional, I will advise my constituents
to resist them, and 1 here repeat it. The
position I have adhered to all the time, is
that so far as the legislation of this Con
gress in the judgment of my people
should be unconstitutional, I will advise
them to resist it by all the means they
can command. Until the Supremo Court of
the United States has decided a law to
be constitutional, every citizen Itat a right
to judge for himself, upon his own respon
sibility of the constitutionality of tbe law,
and he has a rigid to resist it according to his
own judgment, and to submit himself to
the proper courts when his conduct shall
become subject to their judgment. If
by his course, he commits the crime of
treason, he is justly amenable to the
punishment of a traitor.
We repudiate such doctrines as em
bodying the very soul of nullification.
It was just such heresy that precipita
ted the. Cotton States into a revolution.
It was such heresy as Calhoun instilled
into South Carolina in 1833. It is rank
higher-lawism, and if acted on, will in
volve this nation in bloodshed for
ever. "Every citizen has a right,"
I says Mr. Davis, "to judge for himself
whether the law passed by Congress and
signed by the President be constitutional
or not,and if he come to the conclusion that
it is unconstitutional, this Kentucky
Senator advices him to "resist it BY ALL
MEANS at his coifmand!!! Shoot the
Sheriff or U. S. Marshal, break open and
demolish the jails, lire on the Federal
Police, do anything to obstruct the en
forcement of the odious laws ! Do we
dream? Can we trust our senses? Is
this Garret Davis or Jeff Davis who ut
ters doctrines on the floor of the Senate
so monstrous and abhorrent to every law
abiding, conservative man? Why this
frothy rant is the very language of radi
calism and jacobinism. It is the wild
jargon of tho mob. It is a repetition of
the cant of Toombs, Mason, Wigfall, Iver
Bon and Jeff Davis, who will heartily en
dorse the views of this Senator. We
have no faith in Senator Powell, Mr. Da
vis' colleague, and yet we do not believe
that even he would have dared to preach
such incendiarism in the Senate, before
Mr. Davis' speech. What he will do
now is hard to predict, but of one thing
wo feel certain, that he cannot say any
thing more abhorrent to the feelings of
law-abiding men. We feel certain that
the Union men of Kentucky will repudi
ate indignantly .the higher-lawism of Mr.
Davis. It surely can find no response
save with the rebels. We thought it was
the duty of all citizens to obey the laws
until repealed, aside by the decision of
the Supreme Court. No, says Mr. Davis,
you have aright to resist tho law "by
all means at your command," until the
court decides such a law to be constitu
tional. Was there ever wilder or more
dangerous radicalism? Imagine for a
moment what would be our condition if
the laws were to be thus resisted. The
whole nation would bo perpetually on the
stormy waves of anarchy and mob-law.
It would be worse than a den of wild
beasts engaged in the work of mutual de
struction. We feel most painfully assured
that Mr. Davis is unfit to be a leader
and counsellor of loyal nu-ri in a time
which demands so much coolness, dis
cretion and self-control. We would far
rather see him declare openly tor the en
emy than profess loyalty and preach
A paragraph appeared a few days ago

ITaaliing-lon Correspondent of tbe
aahv21Ie In!n.
Washington, May 13, 16C2,
The almost universal sentiment here,
now is that the drama of the Rebellion it
rapidly approaching its close. If, there
fore, there are any in Tennessee who are
hesitating about the expediency of Eig
nifying their adherence to the Union,
they had better decide without delay, or
else they will surely see the authorities
of several States reorganized by the peo
ple under the American flag, without their
assistance and concurrence. If they
would escape tho designation of eleventh
hour men, let them act at once, and de
clare for the Government against the re
volt! The steamer for Liverpool, which
leaves Boston to-morrow, will carry out
to Europe such news as will produce a
general conviction that the American
Government is extinguishing the aiost
gigantic conspiracy and insurrection
that ever took place in any age or coun
try. The political philosopher will re
cognize the power of a great Republican
Nationality to preserve its organic forms
the man of military science, the war
like capacity of freemen, uhed only to the
acts of peace, when the occasion calls
them to arms. The commercial world
will hear with interest and satisfaction
that almost every important port on the
Atlantic coast is again in possession of
the United States; and, finally, that,
notwithstanding the enormous expendi
ture rendered necessary to overcome trea
son, the credit of the United States is so
solid that its issues command a premium,
and the most cautious capitalists are
seeking investments in its stocks. The
triumphs of the Treasury Department,
in this last respect, are not less impor
tant than the splendid victories of the
army and navy. Perhaps, however, no
item of news will produce a stronger
sensation throughout Europe than that
which tells the suicide of the Merrimac.
Great Britain and the Continent have
thought more about that novel craft,
since her encounter with the Monitor,
than about anything else ; and now un
der the progress of our victories, even the
monster has gone to self-destruction !
What a commentary on all the empty
Taunting of the Rebels !
What true Tennessean can bear to
think now of the contrast which the
American Government presents to that
of the so-called Confederacy, without an
earnest desire to see the relations of his
State to the Union restored in all their
former strength and cordiality ?
And what should prevent this restora
tion? Is there anything in the princi
ples or policy of the President, or those
'associated with him in Executive Ad
ministration, that can raise, in any can
did American bosom, tho least distrust
or suspicion ? No matter about the
movements or designs of certain ultras
in Congress or outside. Let the Union
bo restored, let us harmonize once more
as a band of brothers, and these mischief
makers can soon be disposed of. Any
thing, howevever, is better than the mis
erable anarchy, and misrule, and despot
ism which the conspirators have brought
upon us. L. M. D.
The piratical bark of Rebellion is re
tiring slowly from the waters of the
Union to the gulf of Eternal Shame and
Perdition. It leaves without any regret
on the part of humanity.

Colonel Diifneld.
This officer has been transferred from
the 9th Michigan Regiment, at Camp
Parkhurst, Murfreesboro, to another de
partment. We have received a copy of
resolutions adopted at a meeting of the
officers of that Regiment, from which we
extract the following:
Resolved, That whatever degree of effi
ciency as soldiers this regiment may have
attained, supremely attributed to the
energy, faithfulness, and untiring devo
tion with which be has at all times dis
charged the highly important and re
sponsible duties of his position, and we
fet-1 called upon to assure him of the pro
found gratitude and appreciation with
which we regard the very important ser
vice he has bequeathed tcr us.
Resolved, 1 hat having in our intercourse
with Col. Duffield a9 a brother officer,
ever fonnd in him an impartial superior,
a high minded gentleman, and true heart
ed friend, we cannot cive too hich
expression of tlie warm and abiding es
teem with w hich his many acts of kind
ness andenerosity have inspired us, nor
of the deep sorrow occasioned by his
separation from us, and we feel that long
after peace shall have returned U9 to our
homes and wonted avocations, the recol
lection of our beloved Colonel will be
cherished in our memories as among the
rare incidents of life too dear to be for
Jefferson, the great Apostle of Democ
racy as he is called, although a prime
mover in the American Colonial Revolu
tion, so much deprecated the awful ca
lamities inseparable from even a just
revolution by force that he regarded the
ballot box as the instrument of peaceable
revolution, as the distinguishing glory
of the Federal Union. While represent
ing our country at the Court of Franca,
he wrote as follows, in a letter addressed
to M. Dumas, under date of September
10, 1787:
"Our federal Convention is likely to
sit till October. There is a general dis
position throughout the States to adopt
what they shall propose, and we may be
assured their propositions will be wisa,
as a more noble assembly never sat in
America. Happily for us, when we find ui r
Constitution defective and insujjicient to secure
ih happiness of owe people, we can assemble
with all the coolness oj philosophers ana set it
Vto riglds, while every oilier nation on earth
must nave recourse to arms to amend or to re
store their Constitutions."
What would the Sage of Monticello say
if he could witness (ha madness of the
rebels, who trampled on the ballot-box
and drew the sword ?
The Franklin (La.) Banner tells us how
the ladies in that region are freeing them
selves from a depcnden.ee on the North
for shoes. It says:
The cheapest way that they make them
is to take the soles of old shoes, soak
them in water until they are limber, pick
out the old stitches, fit them to the last
after the cloth is fitted to the same, sew
the soles to the cloth with strong waxed
thread, and then turn the shoe, nail the
heel to its place, and the shoe is done.
It is cheap, serviceable, and a very good
cloth shoe.
Hunting up the "cast off soles of
Northern shoes" looks promising for re
bel independence, don't it?

camp of a Mississippi brigade recently
surprised by our troops near Corinth, was

We notice that the old p!ii'l fami
lies at Washingtou are still laboring un
der the delusion that they are doing the
thinking for the nation. The delusion
will speedily be dissipated. A new era
is dawning on the country. Old ideas
are passing away, and with them their
authors, who can no longer produce an
original idea or steer the Ship of State in
the new waters which now surround her.
The couatry now calls for young, active,
independent thinkers. It is utter folly
to look at old party platforms and dema

The Public Health and Applied Exercise & Health Major require students to complete an internship (HK 49200 Professional Work Experience). HK 26900 is a pre-requisite course to help students identify potential internship sites, and HK 49200 (1 credit) is the fulfillment of that internship. Please make certain to review thePracticum-Internship Manual Procedures (pdf) before beginning any internship program.
Students must complete the following steps prior to starting the internship experience as hours will not be eligible to count towards the internship without complete submission of materials:
1. On-site Practicum/Internship Job Description and Supervisor Resume
This is the most important step for the student prior to completing any paperwork for preparation of the internship. All internships must be approved by the Practicum Director, Lane Yahiro email@example.com, to ensure it will meet the requirements for the course as established by the university. A job description is required. The job description must include: specific tasks, activities, or responsibilities the of the student intern; an identified timeline of the internship; and contact information for the agency supervisor. Once reviewed/approved by the Practicum Director, the student may complete the preparation materials for the internship noted below.
2. Liability Insurance
After a student has accepted an internship position, the student must apply for and pay fees ($13/year) to obtain Purdue University internship liability insurance. This can be done through the HK Business Office located in Lambert 101. This is the responsibility of the student.
Liability Insurance Application
3. Student Application Form
Students will be required to complete the Student Application Form (located in the Internship Manual) and submit it with a receipt of liability insurance to the Practicum Director. The Student Application Form does require a signature from the student, the agency preceptor, and the Practicum Director.
4. Registering for the Internship
Once students have completed all the arrangements for an internship as described above, they may register for HK 49200 (Professional Work Experience) with their academic advisor. Students must be signed into the course by the Practicum Director prior to registering for HK 49200.
This form MUST be submitted to the Internship Coordinator prior to the start of the internship. The form MUST be submitted electronically (i.e., via email).
All other internship coursework will be submitted via Blackboard after course registration.

New Toshiba AT200 Android Honeycomb tablet is the thinnest you've ever seen
Earlier today, Samsung announced its Galaxy Tab 7.7 as the world's thinnest Android tablet (only 7.9mm in thickness). Well, it's not anymore now, as Toshiba has also introduced a new tablet – the AT200, which is only 7.7mm thin.
Like the Galaxy Tab 7.7, the new Toshiba AT200 runs Android Honeycomb. It is larger that Samsung's tablet, though, as it comes with a 10.1 inch (1280 x 800) display. Other features: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dual-core processor, rear and front-facing cameras, micro USB, micro HDMI, and microSD card support.
Toshiba says the AT200 will be available sometime in the fourth quarter of the year. There's no word on its price yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we find out something.

The fifth annual Sonoma County Restaurant Week has come to a close and locals are left satisfied by delicious food at reasonable prices. The purpose of Sonoma County Restaurant Week, which was held this year between March 10th-16th, is to offer locals and visitors a chance to enjoy a fine dining experience without breaking the bank. This year, local restaurants offered prix fixe two course lunches between $10-$20 and three course dinners between $19-$39, depending on the restaurant. Without a doubt, Sonoma County Restaurant Week provided, and will continue to provide, the perfect opportunity to taste a vast array of fresh flavors and wonderful cuisines from talented, local chefs.
This year, The Fig Café in Glen Ellen served up a three course dinner for $29. Bryan Jones, chef and general manager, delighted guests with his French country cooking. The Fig Café's prix fixe menu began with a light salad of grilled asparagus, arugula, shaved Vella dry jack cheese, sieved egg, and lemon vinaigrette—a true welcoming of spring cuisine. The main course, an apricot and fennel stuffed pork roast with cannellini beans, escarole ragout, and fennel boasted nice earthiness and an excellent balance of textures. As an alternative to the entrée, the chef also offered a lightly floured flounder served atop a bed of creamed potatoes and spinach with crispy leeks—a pleasant combination of flavors and textures. For dessert, the chef satisfied taste buds with a delectable butterscotch pot de crème with crème fraîche and a Florentine cookie.
The salad of grilled asparagus, arugula, shaved Vella dry jack cheese, sieved egg, and lemon vinaigrette had an excellent confluence of tastes and textures. The earthy asparagus—grilled slightly to give it a nice roasted flavor—complimented the bitter arugula; these flavors were juxtaposed perfectly against the tart lemon vinaigrette. The addition of the sieved egg and dry Vella jack cheese mellowed out the earthy bitterness and also provided a nice contrast in texture. Furthermore, the soft sieved egg was a nice balance against the slightly crunchy asparagus. The subtle tartness of the lemon vinaigrette was also a satisfying contrast to the mildly pungent cheese. Overall, this was a delightfully fresh and flavorful salad.
For the main course, Chef Bryan Jones did a fantastic job of combining the sweet taste of the apricot with the earthy cannellini and escarole ragout; this combination was an excellent choice because of the way the flavors contrasted each other. Of course, the tender pork—which provided a fatty, richness to the dish—complimented both the sweetness and earthiness. In addition, the herbaceous fennel provided a nice pungency in spice that heightened the complexity of the dish and enhanced the flavor interactions. The texture of tender pork roast, too—juxtaposed against the starchy texture of the cannellini beans—gave the dish a lovely mouth feel and consistency. Ultimately, this entrée was bursting with the kind of textures and flavors every good meal should exhibit.
The alternative to the entrée, a lightly floured flounder served atop a bed of creamed potatoes and spinach with crispy leaks, was also an incredibly impressive combination of flavors and textures. The flounder was cooked to perfect consistency, juicy and tender on the inside, complimenting the creamy and starchy potatoes. In contrast to the creamed potatoes, the crispy leeks made the textures of this dish well balanced. The rich, creamy sauce—which consisted of cream, a little lemon squeeze, and chives—was a nice variation alongside the earthy spinach and subtly sweet, crispy leeks. While the fish was a lighter alternative to the pork roast, this dish was equally as satisfying and full of excellent flavor.
For dessert, the consistency of the butterscotch pot de crème could not have been any better. The chef knew what he was doing when he whipped up this delectable concoction of sweet caramel and toasted flavors. The small dollop of crème fraîche on top of the pot de crème—which had subtle hints of meyer lemon—provided balance to the rich sweetness of the butterscotch. Again, the chef's attention to detail shines in this dish, as he topped the pot de crème with a Florentine cookie to provide good contrast in texture; this small bit of crunch made this melt in your mouth butterscotch pot de crème a well-rounded dessert, which was impossible not to finish!
Overall, Chef Bryan Jones provided a menu with mouthwatering combinations of flavors and textures that any foodie would jump at the chance to eat. Food like this, served in such a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, makes The Fig Café an excellent local Sonoma County restaurant that is absolutely worth visiting—more than once.
