The introduction of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and CT perfusion (CTP) imaging in acute stroke patients provides useful information for therapeutic decision making in the early stages of stroke evaluation. 1 These modalities are used in conjunction with non-contrast CT (NCCT) of the brain. 2 Non-contrast CT is performed initially to exclude hemorrhage; an absolute contraindication to thrombolytic therapy. Large parenchymal hypodensity, typically indicating irreversible "core" of infarction, is a relative contraindication to thrombolysis.
Computed tomography angiography demonstrates the anatomical details of the neurovasculature, from the great vessel origins at the aortic arch to their intracranial termination. This technique has been shown to be highly accurate in the identification of proximal large vessel circle of Willis occlusions, and, therefore, in the rapid triage of patients to intra-arterial (IA) or intravenous (IV) thrombolytic therapy. 3
An additional modality, CTP, can produce qualitative or quantitative information used to predict the stroke end state. Whole-brain perfused blood volume imaging data is acquired simultaneously with the CTA data, without the need for additional contrast administration or scanning. 4,5 Indeed, coregistration and subtraction of the NCCT images from the post-contrast whole-brain source images provides quantitative maps of cerebral blood volume (CBV). 4,5 The whole-brain perfused blood volume source images alone, however, without subtraction, can provide important prognostic information regarding final infarct size and clinical outcome in acute (<6 hours post onset) stroke patients. 6
Moreover, using cine imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced bolus tracking techniques, quantitative "first-pass" CT perfusion maps of cerebral blood flow (CBF), CBV, and mean transit time (MTT) can be obtained. 7-9 Performing NCCT, CTA, and CTP in acute stroke patients upon arrival to the emergency department can be a quick and useful method in guiding the use of IV and/or IA thrombolytic therapy (figure 1).
Computed tomography angiography provides anatomical assessment of the vessel lumen regarding the presence of an acute embolus, occlusion, or severe stenosis. The entire course of the carotid and vertebral arteries can be imaged using multislice CT technology (MSCT), including the intracranial and extracranial segments. This data can be used to determine if a patient having an acute stroke has an arterial blockage (embolus) requiring thrombolytic therapy. Most acute emboli occur in the proximal segment of the middle cerebral artery.
Quantitative dynamic cine CTP is a contrast-enhanced study performed at selected image levels. Coverage is typically limited by the maximum detector length in the z-axis direction--approximately 2 cm for MSCT scanners. The selected levels are imaged repeatedly during contrast bolus administration, which reveals serial changes in attenuation of the brain parenchyma. The relationship between tissue attenuation, measured in Hounsfield units (HU), and the tissue concentration of iodinated contrast material, at constant mAs and kV settings, is assumed to be linear. 10 Therefore, models for quantitative analysis of this perfusion dataset can be applied conveniently. Such analysis requires computer postprocessing to generate CBF, CBV, and MTT maps, typically using a mathematical process known as deconvolution. 9 The actual quantification of flow values is based on the arterial input and venous outflow curves, which can also be reconstructed from the cine CTP dataset. According to the central volume principle, CBF (in mL/100g/min), CBV (in mL/100g), and MTT (in minutes) are related according to the formula CBF = CBV/MTT. 9
To date, the only FDA-approved treatment for acute stroke is IV thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rt-PA), administered within 3 hours of stroke onset. 11 If thrombolysis is applied beyond this time window, the increased probability of intracranial hemorrhage is considered unacceptable.
The time window for treatment with IA agents is twice as long for the anterior circulation, and indefinite for the posterior circulation (depending on risk-to-benefit ratios); however, IA thrombolysis--although of proven benefit in preliminary trials--has not yet received FDA approval. 12 For thrombosis localized to the posterior circulation, the time window for treatment may be extended beyond 6 hours due to the extreme consequences of loss of blood flow to the brainstem, despite the risk of hemorrhage.
Because of these narrow windows of opportunity, a goal of advanced imaging is therefore to select patients for treatment more rationally, potentially expanding the time window for thrombolysis by identifying patients for whom rt-PA will be both safe and effective.
Advanced CTA/CTP imaging of acute stroke has the potential to not only help exclude from thrombolysis patients at high risk for hemorrhage, but to identify those patients most likely to benefit from thrombolysis. Even without hemorrhage, treatment failure with thrombolytics is not uncommon. Many hospitals do not have the facilities to use IA rt-PA, and it is important to be able to pinpoint the state of evolution and cause of stroke in order to select the most effective treatment. It may sometimes be necessary to transfer patients to a tertiary care center with specialized expertise in the clinical assessment, imaging, and treatment of acute stroke.
At most institutions the current standard of care is to perform an NCCT exam to exclude hemorrhage; at this point, the imaging evaluation of acute stroke patients typically stops. In some centers, advanced imaging of stroke patients is obtained with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR perfusion transit time maps, but these techniques are often time-consuming, expensive, or unavailable. 13,14 Computed tomography angiography with CTP can offer a more convenient advanced imaging alternative. 15 Clearly, given the potential severe consequences of stroke, better methods of identifying its presence and etiology are required, and deriving reliable predictors of the extent and degree of tissue damage is desirable.
In the acute stroke setting CTA with CTP has the potential to be useful for: 1) fast and reliable identification of stroke signatures; 2) improved choice of treatment modality, including exclusion of patients from thrombolytic therapy; 3) pinpointing the vascular origin of the ischemic insult; and 4) determination of neurological consequences of the stroke, including final infarct size, clinical outcome, and hemorrhagic risk.
Available data suggests that CTA, when combined with NCCT, is significantly more sensitive than NCCT alone in delineation of intravascular clot. 3,16 The choice between IA or IV thrombolysis depends on a variety of factors, including the time post-ictus, the clinical status of the patient, and whether the clot is proximal (IA) or distal (IV). When typical findings of occlusive thrombus on CTA and decreased tissue enhancement on CTP are not present, the differential diagnoses include lacunar infarct, early small distal embolic infarct, transient ischemic attack, complex migraine headaches, and seizure. 1
At our institution, immediately following data acquisition for CTA/CTP, rapid "collapsed" maximum intensity projection (MIP) reconstructions (superior view) of the intracranial circulation are created, for visualization of acute circle of Willis embolus. Typically, these can be obtained in under a minute. Additional reconstructions, not typically obtained urgently but prior to endovascular treatment, are obtained displaying the aortic arch, great vessels origins, and carotid bifurcations. The cine CTP dataset, when obtained, can also be manipulated to generate quantitative CBF, CBV, and MTT maps at selected levels (figure 2).
The CBF, CBV, and MTT values are dynamic--they vary as the stroke evolves. "Core" values for irreversible infarction are typically considered to be in the CBF <10 to 12 mL/100g/min range. Areas of less severe CBF reduction, with preserved CBV values, are considered to represent "ischemic penumbra"--tissue that is at high risk for infarction if circulation is not soon restored, but not yet irreversibly infarcted. The larger the ischemic penumbra relative to the core, the more likely the patient would benefit from early thrombolytic therapy. If both CBV and CBF are already reduced dramatically, however, the tissue is considered irreversibly infarcted, and successful recanalization may have a higher likelihood of causing hemorrhage. 17
At our institution, CTA/CTP imaging is performed on a multislice scanner in the emergency department (GE LightSpeed, GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI), which enables us to acquire imaging data from entire vascular territories in <1 minute. The initial NCCT scan is performed at 140 kV, 170 mA, pitch = "high quality" (3:1), and a table speed of 7.5 mm/sec. Images are obtained from the skull base to the vertex. Slice thickness can be set at 2.5 mm, at 5 mm, or at both. We typically use the thicker, 5-mm slices for visual image review, and the thinner, 2.5-mm slices for 3D-reconstruction. Initial image review is in "real-time," directly at the CT console. The use of narrow window-width settings, with a center level of about 30 HU (width of 5 to 30 HU), facilitates the detection of early, subtle, ischemic changes contiguous with normal parenchyma. 2
Immediately following NCCT, CTA with simultaneous whole brain perfused blood volume CTP is performed without repositioning the patient. Approximately 90 to 120 mL of nonionic, iso-osmolar contrast is used for CTA from the skull base to the vertex. The injection rate is 3 mL/sec, with a 25-second scan delay. Initial scan parameters are as per the NCCT scan described above. A second phase of scanning is performed immediately, with minimal possible delay, from the aortic arch to the skull base, with similar scan parameters except for an increase in the table speed to 15 mm/sec. Major advantages of first scanning the intracranial circulation include: 1) obtaining the most important data first, which can be reviewed during subsequent acquisition; and 2) allowing time for clearance of dense, IV contrast from the subclavian, axillary, and other veins at the thoracic inlet, reducing streak artifact. Immediate assessment of the vasculature occurs at the scanner console, where the source images are reviewed while scanning is taking place.
The axial source images from the CTA/CTP exam are typically networked to a freestanding image analysis workstation. MIP reconstructions of the intracranial circulation are performed to identify acute embolus and the extent of the clot burden. Reconstructions of the aortic arch, great vessels, and carotid bifurcations are also performed to assess for additional stenoses or occlusions of the neurovasculature prior to endovascular treatment.
Depending on the clinical circumstances--or as an entirely separate exam--quantitative cine dynamic CT perfusion maps can also be acquired. The level to be scanned is determined from the initial NCCT findings, as well as from the involved vascular distribution seen on CTA. Our MSCT scanner allows for the selection of four 5-mm or two 10-mm thick slices in axial cine mode. Approximately 45 mL of nonionic contrast is injected at 4 to 5 mL/sec, with a 5-second preparation delay. In order to generate CTP maps, the operator must select the arterial input and venous outflow parameters for the deconvolution software.
Potential current and future benefits of CTA/CTP include convenient, reliable, acute stroke imaging, which may improve clinicians' ability to assess hemorrhagic risk and determine prognosis, therefore facilitating triage of acute stroke patients to appropriate treatment. 15 Quantitative CTP has shown further potential to characterize the evolving status of stroke through the measurement of CBV, CBF, and MTT. We encourage the use of CTA/CTP imaging for the emergency evaluation and management of suspected stroke. A R

In the first real tests of Cubas new migration laws, blogger Yoani Sánchez got a passport Wednesday after 10 years of being denied permission to travel abroad, but a former political prisoner was rejected because he did not serve all of his 20-year sentence.
Incredible!! They called me at home to tell me that my passport was ready. They have just handed it to me, Sanchez said in a Twitter message. The government critic had been denied many permits to travel abroad since around 2003.
I am happy and sad, she said in another message after sending a photo of her brand new blue passport. On the one hand I have my document for travelling, but several of my friends like @angelmoya will not be permited.
Angel Moya, who spent eight years in prison and is married to Berta Soler, leader of the dissident Ladies in White, said a passport office worker told him she could not accept his application because he is regulated for the public interest.
Many dissidents who had been blocked from traveling abroad by the State Security apparatus saw their hopes to go rise after Cuba adopted reforms on Jan.14 that lifted the requirement for the widely hated exit permits known as white cards.
Under the new system, Cubans are supposed to be able to make personal trips abroad with just valid passports and visas from other countries. But the laws specifically note that passports can be denied for national security or national interests.
Sanchez and Guillermo Fariñas, winner of the European Parliaments Sakharov Prize for human rights in 2010, Yoani Sanchez had been told after Jan. 14 that they would indeed be able to obtain new passports and travel abroad.
State Security repeatedly denied her permission to leave the island to pick up the many international prizes she has won for her blog, Generación Y, and take part in seminars even though she had so many visas on her old passport that she had to ask for a new one.
Moya, 49, was sentenced to 20 years in prison during a 2003 crackdown on 75 dissidents known as Cubas Black Spring, and many of the others were sentenced to 28 years in one-day trials. Several were freed early over the years on extra-penal licenses usually related to ill health.
The last 52 were freed in 2010 and 2011 also under licenses as part of an agreement between Cuban ruler Raúl Castro and Cuban Cardinal Jaime Ortega. Virtually all went directly from prison to exile in Spain but 12, including Moya, chose to stay on the island and continue their opposition work.
Moya said he went to the passport office closest to his Havana home Wednesday morning and asked about applying for a passport because I want to travel like any citizen in any country, maybe to Spain, maybe to the United States.
The woman at the counter took his national ID card number, looked at a computer and said he could not have a passport because I was regulated for public interest, he told El Nuevo Herald by telephone from Havana.
The word regulated appears to be government-speak for a control. The reason for the block, he was told, was that my sentence had not been fulfilled.
He explained to the woman that he had been freed as part of the deal between the government and the church, Moya noted, but she just pointed to the computer and indicated there was no information on how he could appeal that decision.

"Good value for money"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
Stayed in a family room for five people and was pleasantly surprised to be given a spacious room with four 'proper' beds and one temporary bed. However all were comfortable. Good, clean bathroom, helpful staff and complimentary drinks and fruit in the lobby made the kids happy. Fast shuttle bus to and from airport but make sure you book early. Only negative was that the room was very hot and we could not turn the heat down. To be fair, all Swiss buildings seem to be overheated. Fortunately there was an opening window to the -6 C air outside.

Save The ScreenSavers!
XScreenSaver is one of the most widely-used screensaver applications for Linux systems. The Debian project is seeking new maintainers to help keep the software running.
XScreenSaver offers a large collection of screensavers to the Linux world. At this time, only two people are charged with the task of maintaining the package and these individuals are currently lacking the time the project demands. For this reason, they have turned to the Linux community for help and encourage all interested parties to offer up their abilities.
Co-maintainers should check and sort tickets, fix bugs and initialize patches. In addition, they should test whether the new releases function well in cooperation with corresponding packages such as Kscreensaver. Also, some tasks for the almost complete Version 5.0.8 are on the table: the closed patches should be checked and any issues that arise with Kscreensaver should be accordingly resolved.
The software is hosted over GIT-repositories and interested parties may respond to Bug#521783 , create a fork in GIT, and then begin. An overview of available screensavers can be found on the XscreenSaver website.
Kill-joys are most hated when right
Let Xscreensaver die. Our problems with global warming will kill it. Giga-Watts of displays flashing and spinning, why? -
I am not able to offer help, but a suggestion.
New screen savers should be semi intelligent
and semi-persistent game-like interactive
activity. With a button to stop it and return

TUCSON- Brody Warwick seems like your typical seven-year-old.
"I like to play baseball, golf and tennis," Brody says.
But for him, life isn't all fun and games. At age four, doctors diagnosed Warwick with Type 1 Diabetes. "It was a shock," says Brody's mother, Mimi Coomler.
It's an alarming diagnosis that is becoming more common among children. Doctors don't have a clear reason yet as to why. "There was no diabetes in our family," Coomler says.
It's a different story for Type 2 Diabetes, which is typically caused by obesity.
It used to mostly impact adults age 40 or over. Now Type 2 is also becoming more common among children.
The CDC reports that if current trends continue, one in three adults will have Type 2 diabetes by 2050. "There is a hereditary factor with Type 2 and also, we have had a rise in obesity among children," says TMC Diabetes Educator Nancy Klug.
Klug works with families of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. "We have to teach them how to monitor their carbohydrate intake and we have to teach them about their medication," Klug says. "If they're on insulin, we have to show them how to give insulin and how to determine how much to take with meals."
Klug says even though obesity is only a proven cause of Type 2 diabetes, the best thing children can do to prevent any form of the disease is stay active and eat healthy. "Don't eat out so much, learn what foods are carbohydrates and try to lower those in meal plans and don't let children have all the soda and juice they want," Klug says.
It's advice Brody and his family have taken to heart. They have had some scares and they don't want that to happen again. "It was probably one of the scariest days of my life, watching my baby go unconscious," Coomler says.
If you or someone you know has diabetes and wishes to speak to a diabetes educator at TMC, call (520) 324-3526 or (520)324-1265.

Garces Trading Company
Online Reservations
Garces Trading has never disappointed but their Restaruant Week menu was wonderful. Our party shared tastes of 3 first course selection: Sardo with honey, Speck with Mustard and Cauliflower with black garlic pesto - one as good as the xext. The second course selections: Margherita Pizza, House Made Italian Sausage Pizza and Vichyssoise Chaude were equally delicious. We only tried two of the third course selections: Spanish Sea Bass with Salsa Verde, Spring Peas, Lemon and Tuscan Fusilli Alla Carbonara with Guanciale, Eggs, Black Pepper, Pecorino and they were spectacular. The service was warm, personable and attentive to the food allergies of one member of the party. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience.
Beautiful place, outstanding service. I found the wine pricing to be on the higher side and dessert was just OK. Other than that, I love the creative offerings and will be back to try more!
We have been to Garces Trading Company before and once it must've been a slow night so pretty empty and once we ate outside. Son it didn't occur to us that GTC would be so noisy we wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with our dining companions. The food is always delicious (although pastel De piña , not my favorite) but honestly I don't think I would go back because of how unpleasanrly loud it was.
I could not afford to eat here normally. Went in for lunch during restaurant week with a friend. Food was amazing! Service was a little slow. Would definitely love to go back, maybe on a date.
Fabulous food and an attentive (but not intrusive) server made our meal totally enjoyable from the Vichyssoise to Moules Frites to the unique cheesecake and basil mousse parfait for dessert.
Endive salad is great...very light and tangy and refreshing. The little cauliflower app is also tasty. Sea bass portion tiny and kind of boring. My friend's pasta...tagliatelle with lamb ragu nice and hearty; great fall dish. Beware of large tables of very loud intoxicated women...they can spoil the evening,as the room acoustically is loud. Great service and comfortable, casual vibe though.
Went around 1:30 pm on Saturday, and surprisingly there was no wait. The fresh bread served at the table is very good, and the olive oil has weird flavor to it, but it actually works. The mozzarella appetizer was warm in a bowl with a different kind of olive oil, and after a few bites I had to share with the rest of my table so that they could taste the goodness. I got their take of the cheesesteak. The homemade chips were great, the bread roll was delicious and the meat was prime cut stuff that was very good. The cheese sauce had a surprising kick to it that I liked. I thought that meat portion was a little on the small size, but the quality made up for it. For desert we shared their macaroons, a must get I believe if you like macaroons.
Friends and I were heading to the matinee at the Walnut Street Theater and decided to come in early for lunch. As a fan of Jose Garces' Amada at the Revel in Atlantic City, I decided to try Garces Trading Co. as it it close to the theater. We enjoyed everything about it - great, friendly service, fantastic food and yummy dessert. We will definitely go back soon.
We chose Garces for its proximity to WST Saturday nite. Great service and food. We started with baby artichokes w/dates& walnuts and the mozzarella app. Both were wonderful! Romaine salad was good but could have used more shaved parm cheese. Steak Frites -hangar steak melt in your mouth good, but duck fat fries were a tad chewy although tasty. My scallops risotto was also perfectly prepared. Portion may be smaller than other places but just enough for me. Looking forward to returning to try other menu choices. Wait staff was friendly and energetic, timing was paced well.
This was our second trip to Garces Trading Company. The first was for lunch during restaurant week, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. This time my wife and I ate at the bar. The $5 October bar menu was very good! We enjoyed each thing we got, but the Pugliese Mozzarella was amazing! The drinks were good too, and we were very happy with the service.
Despite the cavernous sound reverb, our corner table was the most manageable for a group of 6 celebrating a significant birthday. Apps were clearly high end and well thought out. Artichokes outstanding starter. Cocktails well mixed esp the Sazaracs. Maybe one of the best steaks and fries we've ever ordered. Lamb pasta dish was genuine and tasted of meat and good noodles. Service was kind, attentive, and well timed. Macaroon desserts and legit coffee a fine finish to the meal. Will return.
I received a notification from an online website that recommends sites to see in Philadelphia. I heard about their Deep Dish Chicago-Style Pizza, and when my girlfriend asked to go somewhere later in the week, I knew exactly where to go. The location was fantastic: not too far from Broad & Locust, which was great. Actually right by the old bus stop I used to take to my apartment after nights out in Center City. The dining area was open and well-lit, with a modern decor that I found attractive, yet not overwhelming or try-hard. I was surprised that I enjoyed the side-to-side tabling, as I normally prefer booths. My girlfriend persuaded me to go after the Chef's Tasting Menu, and I couldn't have been happier. Well-priced, highly recommend!
We chose GTC for brunch before a concert at the Kimmel Center. Our overall experience was excellent. I had a wonderful salad with duck confit and my dining partner had the Cuban sandwich. My salad was beautifully presented. The sandwich portion was generous. Our server was knowledgeable and pleasant. Going through Open Table for the reservation was a snap. Not only would I recommend this restaurant to friends, I would go to there again myself.
I've only been for lunch, however I love the mixture of Spanish and Mediterranean influences on bistro/pub fare for lunch. Nicely done.
First time at Garces Trading Company. Loved the service, food, and restaurant. Great night.
This meal at Garcas Trading Company was divine. Our table had 3 perfect steaks, divine scallops and 6 of the best cosmos in the city. Our server, Amanda, was amazing. She had a great personality, super friendly, attentive, witty and helpful. She knew the menu inside and out and was instrumental in helping us treat friends of ours who happened to be dining there at the same time. What a fantastic experience! We will be back soon.
Overall a really excellent meal. The service was very pleasant and timely. At no point did we have to wait for water or bread refills. My main course--the lamb chops--was incredible. I wish had been told the potatoes would have a spicy kick to them, but I know I'm especially sensitive to spiciness. The duck salad with poached egg was also very delicious. I was, however, underwhelmed by the antipasti, we had both cauliflower (served cold) and the charcuterie. I definitely want to go back to try their pizza!
Delicious individual pizzas and outstanding salad combination and presentation. Very good wine options as well. Service attentive and helpful. Can get noisy with the combination of too-loud music and lots of people-go early or sit outside in the good weather.
Pre-ordered a deep dish pie to share with my girlfriends as a hump day treat, and what a treat it was! The tomatoes are so good and I love that they are still mostly intact and not just a traditional marinara sauce. I love how buttery the crust is. This is the only pizza that I think is worth splurging the money on!
Food was excellent; service was pleasant with a couple lapses: Cold fries were not replaced until entree was consumed; requests for coffee were forgotten entirely for some in party. Very accommodating for our 18 mo. old granddaughter.
I had recently conducted a business meeting, over dinner, at Garces Trading Company. All of my clients loved the food, the service was superb, and we were able to stay at our table all evening without feeling rushed. The prices were very reasonable especially for the high quality food that was served. The background was a little louder than we would have liked but not so loud that we weren't able to conduct our business. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in trying it for the first time!
Shame that this place is housed in what seems to be an office building. The food was great - excellent, even - but the place just lacked the buzz which is important to the whole dining experience. We had the steak frites with the duck fat fries - not bad, and the artichokes. All in all - quite good, but there are other places to try serving the same food... which are probably "buzzier" and busier.
This was my second time at Garces. The first time was excellent. This time was very good. The pizza appetizer was excellent. The lamb chops and scallops were good; not as good as the first time. Dessert was also good.The recommended wine was excellent. I will certainly come back.
Great brunch filled with innovative and well prepared selections. Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu.
My children and I met here for my husbands birthday. We had brunch and it was delicious. The combinations of flavors was refreshing without being over the top. My husband is very picky and he found several things that he could eat and really enjoyed his meal. We would definitely go back.
The food was fantastic and the service was incredibly professional - friendly without being annoying. Jessica was our server, and we liked her so much, we asked for her name so we can request her again. It was a little loud, but that's part of the mood, so I think that's OK. I liked that the menue wasn't the same old thing that so many Philadelphia restaurants seem to serve.
Garces is always a great meal. Incentive lunch, well prepared, attentive and helpful staff. I do miss the original concept. They're now pushing their liquor and out in a bar instead if the fresh cheesery/charcuterie market. Probably shouldn't call farce trading company anymore.
Perfect size menu. Make sure you have an appetizer and dessert!
The food is excellent, the atmosphere casual. The high chairs and tables near the fluorescent lit State Liquor Store isn't very charming.
Great food and drink selection. The cheese plate and chartuterie were great (although does not come with crackers, fruit, or toasts- which I thought was a little odd). Lovely wait staff.
Had a nice work lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. Got the simple salad with smoked salmon and it was delicious!
We celebrated a birthday brunch for 12, including 2 toddlers and one in a wheelchair, at a busy time. The entire e staff could not have been more accommodating to the group, dietary preferences, needs and pace of service. Plus the food was, as always, top notch. A home run. We have been there often for lunch and dinner and always been pleased. This was over the top.
Everything was incredible from the cauliflower app with the black garlic pesto ,the scallop risotto contained the best scallops we've ever had. Our friend had the Bronzino special and it too was the best prepared we've ever had. The service was incredible and our server Nathaniel was spot on with his suggestions and pairings !!! The deserts were beyond anything we expected. Dont miss the Choux Crème was attacked by our table and don't miss the Macaron sampler !!!
I always enjoy Garces Trading Post. It's a little noisy, and the atmosphere is very casual, but the food is outstanding and it's always a lot of fun. This time I was there with six friends. We had a 6:30 reservation. We started with some cheeses and flatbread and wine - and laughed and talked and enjoyed them. Then we ordered entrees and laughed and talked some more. Finally we shared a few desserts and had a few more good stories and laughter. Suddenly someone realized it was 10:45. It's always really nice when a dinner out isn't just a meal; it's an evening with friends where great food just happens to be part of it. Garces makes that possible.
We went there during the week for lunch. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our server was attentive and courteous without being over-bearing. I had fusili alla carbonara - which was absolutely perfect. It was delicious! It was just enough of a serving to be satisfied but not stuffed. My dining partner had The Spaniard which was a grilled chicken sandwich. It was the first time in a while where I've seen him eat the whole sandwich. He said it was just right (serving size) and very tasty. It was a great dining experience. I can imagine it becomes a hot spot at night! Recommend !
We loved the food and the service ! We will be back there soon !
The restaurant is nice for a quick meal out. Rachel our server was energetic, knowledgeable and helpful; everything you want in a waitress. We shared the Cheese Sample plate. It was good for one but we were not very hungry. We also had the Pan Roasted Scallops and Bouillabaisse for entrees and were very pleased with the portions and taste. We did not have dessert. Very good experience and we would go back. The Regent Punch was sweet and refreshing. The 75 Cocktail is a nice drink for wine drinkers. We completed dinner in just about one hour.
first dinner here, have been for lunch, and meal was delicious. desserts are always different and special, try one, you will not be disappointed!
We were seated promptly for our noon reservation. Service was efficient and friendly. The food was very good: I had the duck salad which I think is my new favorite. We sat at our table for 3 1/2 hours and were never made to feel rushed. Between the food and the friends, it was a very pleasant afternoon.
The food was excellent. Unique flavors that blended well together
Seating is cramped and noise level is quite high, making this less-than-perfect for a romantic evening. However, the food was exceptional. My scallop risotto was perfectly executed, with taste, texture and presentation exactly as it should have been. My wife enjoyed the baby artichoke app as her entrée, and it too was spectacular; topped with a wonderful emulsion of lemon, honey, and oil. Our server was "in the weeds," with bread and dessert menus going to later-arriving tables on both sides of us well out of [our] turn. Also, she initially brought us the wrong wine, which highlights the need to closely look at the label when the server shows it, more than the rote exercise than many treat that step.
Wine selection was fantastic and server paired so well with my dish. We dined for my birthday and it was incredible!
This was my first time to Garces Trading Co. for the dining experience--in past I purchased from their deli/ front shop (pre-reno). You most certainly get the experience and service known throughout The Garces Group. The staff was attentive, personable, and knowledgeable of the menu (as all restaurant staff should be). Although the atmosphere offer a casual environment, the experience you gain from a meal at Garces Trading Co. is full of class. Without a doubt, delve into what this restaurant has to offer your next meal out.
Always one of my favorites. I cannot wait for the new Graces restaurant to open at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.
We've been here a couple times and always love it. It's nice yet casual so it's not stuffy. I like the bar-stool seating. Our waitress Elyssa was awesome! Very energetic and fun, telling us little tidbits about herself and chef Garces, and explaining the menu very thoroughly. The food was excellent as always. The desserts are also incredible!
Food was excellent, but given the prices (even during lunch), I would say that it was 4/5 stars. Service was great, as was the space.
Really nice selections for brunch. The food was executed perfectly and the taste was delicious. A lot of the options are unconventional, but they are delicious. The steak and eggs was perfect and the pumpkin pancakes were so yummy. Don't miss the macaroons, they are something special.
We had a fabulous dinner. I think this is my new favorite place. Tried the chef's tasting menu option with the wine pairing and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive as well as the managers. My only criticisms are: I wish there were California wines on the by glass wine list (I didn't note the bottle list) and the corkage fee of $15/btl for BYOB is a bit high.
A favorite of mine...GTC never fails to deliver. The menu and the ingredients are wonderful, service is highly attentive and the atmosphere is exciting.
We had a minor problem with our entrees(overly salty), the waiter suggested remaking our dinners . We were treated to a round of drinks and a cheese course for our wait . Over the top service from our waiter and the gracious manager , Danille.

Tim Broas '72 Nominated as Next Ambassador to the Netherlands
Jessica Fiddes
Posted April 30, 2012
On April 26, 2012 President Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Delbarton alumnus Tim Broas '72 as Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Department of State. Broas would replace current Ambassador Fay Hartog-Levin. Read White House announcement here.
According to Wikipedia "the U.S. partnership with the Netherlands is one of its oldest continuous relationships and dates back to the American Revolution. Starting in the late 16th century, the Dutch and other Europeans began to colonize the eastern coast of North America. The Dutch named their territory New Netherlands, which became a province of the the Dutch Republic in 1624. The Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam later became New York City." In fact, the present-day flag of New York City is based on the flag of Republic of the United Netherlands."
According to the White House press release, "Tim Broas is currently a partner at Winston and Strawn, LLP. Mr. Broas also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, having been appointed by President Obama in December 2010. From 1986 to 1995, he was a partner at Anderson Hibey & Blair. Previously, Mr. Broas worked as an attorney at Whitman & Ransom from 1983 to 1985, and at Conboy Hewitt O'Brien & Boardman from 1980 to 1983. From 1979 to 1980, he served as a law clerk for Justice Mark Sullivan of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. Mr. Broas received a B.A. from Boston College and a J.D. from the College of William and Mary."
The Delbarton community salutes Tim Broas '72 on his nomination as the next U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands.

Open Source Objects and Furniture
Having access to a CNC router, LASER cutter, 3D printer, and CNC plasma cutter has changed how I see the manufactured landscape. I don't automtically assume that I must buy the things I want because it is now an option to fabricate them all. The decision, instead, is whether it's worth my time to engineer the item from scratch, build it, and then ultimately have the design languish on my hard drive.
I want a marketplace for machine-ready designs: an iTunes Music Store for objects. I recently purchased an assortment of IKEA's iconic Billy bookshelves knowing full-well how trivial it would be for the ShopBot to cut them out. I would have been far happier had I been able to download a toolpath from some sort of ShopBot App Store or Ikea's Build-Yourself Store, thrown in a piece of veneered particle board, and not had to drive three hours each way.
There are services and communities that are close to working as a repository of manufacturables but they're not quite there yet. There isn't one that has it all. Part of that is the industry (few standards, wildly different tooling options, etc.) but perhaps a bigger part is that the culture. Many of us want to buy things. I like the mall and I'm in the revolution!
One operation that's in the revolution yet doesn't eschew commercial interests is Ronen Kadushin. Kadushin's furniture sells in galleries and boutiques (at gallery and boutique prices, mind you) but that doesn't mean you can't have one. Kadushin's designs are all available for free under the Creative Commons Attribution/Non-Commercial/Share-Alike license!
The Bird Table (left) can be made in minutes on an CNC router out of 12mm Birch plywood. Why don't you go make one now?
The only thing missing is the centralized store for dowloading (buying?) the designs. When you build that, let me know.

TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, today displays from 2012 International CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, the next generation 1300 Mbps Dual Band Wireless AC Router, model TEW-811DR, and 1300 Mbps Dual Band Wireless AC Media Bridge, model TEW-800MB. The explosion of wireless devices in the home and office coupled with high demand for HD video-based content will continue to compound wireless network loading for years to come. 802.11ac is a new wireless standard designed to meet tomorrow's extreme wireless bandwidth networking needs. The full 802.11ac specification can theoretically accommodate speeds as high as 6.8 Gbps; however the first generation of products will be rated at either 866 Mbps or 1.3 Gbps. 802.11ac uses the uncongested low interference wireless 5 GHz spectrum and is backward compatible with Dual Band 802.11n (wireless n) routers which also use the 5 GHz band. It is not compatible with standard single band wireless n devices which use the 2.4GHz band, such as most laptops and mobile devices. 802.11ac wireless coverage is similar to that of wireless n and provides whole home coverage. New Beam Forming technology further improves the ability to transmit wireless signals around physical obstacles such as masonry walls. The first generation 802.11ac devices will be released to market as early as late 2012. "New 802.11ac represents a huge jump in wireless performance," stated Zak Wood, director of global marketing for TRENDnet. "It will be able to easily handle a large number of wireless connections simultaneously. It will also be able to support extremely high wireless throughput at great distances from the router." TRENDnet's 1300 Mbps Dual Band Wireless AC Router, model TEW-811DR, is a concurrent dual band router with a 450 Mbps wireless n band to network everyday mobile devices and laptops and an ultra high performance 1300 Mbps wireless band. Gigabit ports maintain high performance wired connections. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) integrates other WPS supported wireless adapters at the touch of a button. WMM technology prioritizes video and audio packets and Beam Forming technology improves wireless transmissions through physical obstacles. The TEW-811DR will be available in late 2012 with an MSRP of over US $200. About TRENDnet's 802.11ac Adapter TRENDnet's 1300 Mbps Wireless AC Media Bridge, model TEW-800MB, connects up to four media center devices to an ultra-high speed 1300 Mbps 802.11ac network. Experience the seamless exhilaration of Gigabit wireless speeds. Four Gigabit ports connect Internet TVs, network video recorders, media players, and more to an ultra high speed network. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) integrates other WPS supported wireless adapters at the touch of a button. WMM technology prioritizes video and audio packets and Beam Forming technology improves wireless transmissions around physical obstacles. The TEW-800MB will be available in late 2012 with an MSRP of approximately US $200.
Useless. There aren't even any 802.11n devices with 5GHz support. You can get bunch of routers with 5GHz support but i haven't seen a single laptop, USB WiFi or a phone with 5GHz support. ANd now this. Why!? Give us better 5GHz support first...
I don't know what planet you live on, but every Apple notebook supports 5GHz, all the decent Intel Wi-Fi cards supports 5GHz and a fair few others. That said, the 5GHz standard doesn't seem that widely adopted outside of the US so... Considering this is set to replace 802.11n over time and that the devices are meant to be dual band for now to support 2.4GHz as well (albeit only for older devices) I guess it's not a huge issue.
Be aware that 802.11n and big signs "N wireless" mean absolutely nothing if it's not really 5GHz. Because almost every single new device that i have seen supports N standard but they are all 2,4GHz. Which is rather useless since all current devices operate at this frequency and there is loads of noise created by this (resulting in sucky range and speed).
even with 'sucky speeds, noise' and all your other 2.4Ghz rage emanating from your core of hatred, i still get triple the speeds and double the range over my wifi G equipment. 2.4GHz n is still quite superior to 2.4GHz a/b... and it looks like ac is going to crap over everything. at least they had the smarts to include gigabit ports.
5GHz isn't good because it is easily absorbed by concrete and other building materials found in buildings. This is why 2.4GHz is more widely used. With that being said, so many devices use 2.4Ghz that there is also the possibility of conflicting devices and signal corruption. Basically there are cons in both frequencies, but you take the lesser of the two and you get 2.4GHz being the better option. The signal frequency does not relate towards speed at all.

Basically there are cons in both frequencies, but you take the lesser of the two and you get 2.4GHz being the better option. The signal frequency does not relate towards speed at all. I find this statement to be false from what I have always known from networking CCNA.
well wifi always does that dodgy full duplex marketing trick, so if they say its 1300Mb they mean both directions combined, so its more like 650Mb we're due for 10Gb ethernet in homes soon i reckon, they'll bloody have to >.>
Eh? What are you on about? It's nothing about full duplex, it's about the theoretical bandwidth minus overheads etc. Even wired Ethernet have overheads, they're just not as high as they are when it comes to Wi-Fi. Because it's a consumer technology the transmission power is limited to silly low amounts, a more powerful transmitter would give you the kind of speeds that are being claimed in combination with better antenna designs. I've seen Wi-Fi setups with a range of multiple kilometres using a special type of antenna. Sadly that company didn't understand how to promote their technology and it never really took off, but they were fairly compact antennas compared to the stuff used for point to point Wi-Fi over long distance. You be glad you never tested 802.11a in its early days, it had a range of about 5m, if you were lucky and there was nothing between you and the access point. It also depends on the type of hardware you have, as to even have a chance of getting the kind of speeds that are being advertised you need 3x3 MIMO setups on both sides, or even better 4x4 MIMO, but as far as I'm aware only Quantenna offers that. 802.11ac supports up to 8 antennas and beamforming which should help improve the range. That said, looking at the graph here http://www.5gwifi.org/advantages-of-80211ac.php after about 10m the speed drops off sharply, but apparently we can expect better range than 2.4GHz 802.11n. Another neat feature of 802.11ac is that it supports something called MU-MIMO that allows multiple users to stream data simultaneously instead of having to share data streams with all the connected users. This should reduce latency and potentially increase speeds as well, although it's of course limited to how many data streams your router/access point can handle and the type of devices you're connecting to it and how many channels each device uses. Say you got a 3x3 MIMO router, you could have a 2x2 MIMO laptop and a single channel smartphone and they'd each get a dedicated data stream that wouldn't be shared between the two devices. We'll see how 802.11ac works out, as it's as yet to be tested in real world scenarios.
Any idea what chip it uses ? Atheros or Broadcom 802.11AC 1gbps that was unveiled / launched or something 2 days ago. http://ces.cnet.com/8301-33372_1-57352574/broadcom-802.11ac-wi-fi-chips-hit-ces-2012/ I just pray that both Broadcom and Atheros have decent stable properly working drivers / opensource drivers for this otherwise they will 802.11N fail again.
Neither device need drivers, as one is a router and the other is a bridge. The question is about the UI and firmware on the devices which is a different matter... Broadcom is a joke though, they have a 2x2 MIMO chip that can do 800Mbit/s something, yet it only has USB 2.0 interface...
He didn't say there is more interference in 5Ghz. He said the signal is sensitive to obstacles. And he's correct. 5Ghz does not carry through obstacles nearly as well. He said that 2.4Ghz is able to carry through obstacles better, but has more interference due to congestion.
2.4Ghz channel is super congested with so many wireless devices now days Most wireless home phones now run @ 1.9 Ghz and cellular devices use 800 / 1800 Mhz
Is it here any other genuine Network Engineer expert person that can explain this in a proper and right manner? I cannot believe what ineptitude I read here, haha! ))
That only applies to North America, as in Europe DECT runs on 2.4GHz and it's as far as I'm aware the only approved system for cordless phones in Europe. That said it might be used in other parts of the world as well that I'm not aware of. GSM uses 850/1700/1900 in the US and 900/1800 in Europe and most of the world, although this varies a bit as well depending on local regulations. It's all a mess because of already existing frequency bands being used, most of them by the military and as such consumer technology ends up with tiny slivers of spectrum. A lot of the problems with interference could be solved by using what is still mostly used by police and military known as frequency hopping, as that vastly reduces interference and also makes for much more secure wireless connections, but alas, that is unlikely to happen when it comes to consumer technology.
Not exactlly true. Actually, the higher the frequency the more it penetrative it is. Issue with 5 GHz is range. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelengths are. Which of course means less range. With 2.4ghz you could get about 100 feet reliably. With 5ghz the range is cut almost in have to about 50 feet.
Not to mention that 5ghz is limited with a lower maximum power output compared to 2.4ghz because the wavelengths are closer (higher the frequency the more damaging to organic tissue the wavelengths are). And most channels are limited to a maximum of 50mw. Which hurts the signal even more.
If this applies to all wave lengths, why do lower wavelengths in sound (bass) carry through objects better than higher frequency sounds?
You're referring to the sound spectrum which uses air or objects as a medium. Radio frequency is based on electromagnetic spectrum. Soundwaves vibrate or pass around objects. But don't technically pass through them like RF does.
I was seriously asking. I don't really know the specifics of the different wave types and what their specific behaviors are. I just know that 5GHz doesn't go as far as 2.4 in this particular case. But I am a natural skeptic. Do you have any links that support what you say?
5Ghz Support Hello, There are actually a lot of devices that support 5Ghz. I have 5Ghz on my Macbook Pro, also my Asus Gamer Laptop and desktop PC connected via a linksys 5Ghz USB wifi device. I run all my devices off an Asus dual band router in the 5Ghz range and everyone else can connect to the 2.4Ghz. My printer and iphone use 2.4Ghz as well. Most media extenders / senders use 5Ghz.
