Best UK documentaries list revealed
1:38am Tuesday 20th August 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Professor Brian Cox's Wonders Of The Universe has made it on to a list of the greatest British documentaries of all time.
The 2011 series, presented by the D:Ream musician turned physicist, is the most recent show on the list compiled by the Radio Times, while Whicker's World, from 1958, is the oldest.
Royal Family - the 1969 fly-on-the-wall programme on the monarchy - and 2010's One Born Every Minute - filmed in a maternity unit - also made the cut.
Other shows include David Attenborough's Life On Earth (1979) and Around The World in 80 Days With Michael Palin (1989).
They feature along with Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends (1998) and Simon Schama: A History Of Britain (2000).
Royal Family (1969) was the first time the Queen allowed TV cameras access to her family.
Channel 4 series One Born Every Minute has been on air since 2010.
Readers have been asked to select from the 20-strong list, which also includes ground-breaking series The Family (1974), which followed the life of an "ordinary" household.

Crews from Holley-Navarre Fire District responded to a brush fire around 3:15 p.m. March 8 on Joe Pruitt Road off State Road 399.
According to HNFD, the 1/4 acre fire was burning on an empty lot. The flames were stopped about 50 feet from one residence and no other houses were threatened. The fire department was on scene for about 30 minutes. The cause of the fire was most likely from a discarded cigarette, according to HNFD.

Singapore-born Margaret Leng Tan established herself as one of the most unique talents of American avant-garde music, by pioneering compositions on toy-sized instruments, such as miniature pianos, zithers, glockenspiels and music boxes. As performed on these types of instruments, this concert film by Tan features selections including Suite for Toy Piano, Tan's arrangement of John Cage's Dream for toy and grand piano, and Tan's arrangement for voice and toy instruments of a piece by George Crumb. Spanish cinematographer Anton Cabaleiro directs, evoking a unique mood for each piece. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

As helmed by Ross MacGibbon, the performance release Cursive II witnesses an act by the acclaimed Cloud Gate Dancers. Its members are performers uniquely trained in three distinct disciplines - Chi-Kung, martial arts and meditation - with the ability to segue very smoothly between gentle, seductive movements and overwhelming, powerful ones. In this particular release, they dance to the music of avant-garde composer John Cage; onscreen, MacGibbon also adds poetic and lyrical images of "ice crackles from Sung porcelain to accompany and accentuate the music and dancing. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

The choreographer behind such acclaimed works as Moon Water and Bamboo Dream returns with a masterful performance-piece inspired by Chinese calligraphy and featuring the highly-praised Cloud Gate dangers. Trained in martial arts, Chi-Kung, and meditation, the Cloud Gate dancers bring Lin Hwai-min's vital piece to life with an irresistible energy that is alternately commanding and seductive. As the music of experimental artist John Cage plays and shimmering images of "ice crackles" from Sung porcelain fill the stage backdrop, mesmerized viewers will bear witness to a spellbinding performance by one of the most talented choreographers of his generation. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

49 Waltzes for the Five Boroughs
Geographically speaking, the iconoclastic yet brilliant composer John Cage identified himself primarily with Manhattan, which served as his home for decades. On October 6, 1977, Cage published a unique work of art in Rolling Stone magazine (with the encouragement of Jann Wenner) entitled "49 Waltzes for the Five Boroughs," designed to commemorate the magazine's historical relocation from San Francisco to New York City. The painting consisted of 49 multicolored triangles placed atop the Hagstrom map of the Big Apple; in subsequent years, Cage published a score "for performer(s) or listener(s) or record maker(s)," derived from the said map. One of those influenced by the 49 Waltzes was experimental filmmaker Don Gillespie, Cage's longtime friend and associate, who sought to make a filmed adaptation of the 49 Waltzes by videotaping each of the 147 locations denoted in the score; he did so by placing a rotating camera at each location, and chose the duration of each location via the religious text known as the I-Ching. The resultant feature-length film appears in this unique release. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

With the documentary Sound, the innovative and experimental filmmaker Miroslav Sebestik provides a protracted cinematic exploration of the nature of sound
per se
. Taking full advantage of film's aural potential, Sebestik not only works in insightful, exploratory interviews with such luminaries as the late John Cage (the creator of the earth-shaking Roaratorio) and sound painter Knud Victor, but presents the audience with such euphonic and seldom-isolated sounds as a rabbit sleeping, the mechanical rhythm of a seabound river tugboat and an experimental symphony inspired by the noises of machine operations - to name only a few among a myriad of haunting examples. The program also explores the questions of how we listen and how we can direct our minds to listen more effectively - more artfully. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

If they've heard of him at all, most people assume that they have heard none of avant-garde musician John Cage's compositions. However, many of his works have been used in film scores, and (in the 1990s) he has even composed directly for films. His music remains uncompromisingly innovative, and is considered avant-garde even today. In this documentary, the composer's longtime collaboration (from 1942 to the 1990s) with the modern dance innovator, choreographer Merce Cunningham, is explored, and between interviews with the principals and with performers in the Cunningham Dance Foundation, samples of their collaborative efforts are shown. As staples on the New York arts scene, they have also collaborated with many well-known modern artists, including Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Mr. Hoover and I
In this documentary, avant-garde filmmaker Emile DeAntonio (1920-1989) discusses filmmaking with his friend, musician John Cage, but chiefly explores the myth and reality of the former Director of the F.B.I., J. Edgar Hoover. During his lifetime, Hoover was idolized as a paragon of decency and someone who unfailingly upheld quintessential American values. After his death, the story that was revealed was considerably darker and more complex. DeAntonio has a lot of harsh things to say about the man and the federal agency he led, and uses as examples his huge (and often silly) F.B.I. files, released under the Freedom Of Information Act. This was DeAntonio's last film. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

4 American Composers: John Cage
It makes sense that an offbeat director such as Peter Greenaway (The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, Prospero's Books) would be attracted to a project such as 4 American Composers, a 1983 British television special profiling John Cage, Meredith Monk, Philip Glass, and Robert Ashley, four American musical artists who haven't been content simply to entertain, but feel compelled to "push the envelope" of music. This episode centers on a concert performed in England on John Cage's 70th birthday. Featured are partial performances (sometimes overlapping) of a number of pieces, including "Roaratorio" (with Cage as narrator), "Forever and Sunsmell," "Double Music," and others. Highlights include a performance by Marcel Duchamp and interview commentary by Cage and others. ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi

Director Ron Mann has put together readings by 24 different poets (after filming a total of 60 writers reciting their works), and then has poet and author Charles Bukowski verbalize "everyman's" criticisms of poetry: it is boring, irrelevant, self-indulgent, and does not make much sense. Then he counterpoints these statements with dynamic, entertaining, and inspiring works by poets such as Allen Ginsberg, Leroi Jones, Anne Waldeman, Helen Adams and 20 others. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

C'est la Vie Rrose
The odd slant on life possessed by one of the original surrealists and premiere "constructivist" artist Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) gives form to this
to the master of absurdism. Duchamp occasionally used the pseudonym "Rrose Selavy," which, without the extra "r," reads (in French) "Rose, c'est la vie" or "Rose, that's life." In this film, an actor/actress of indeterminate gender, I Sa Lo, travelling as Rrosy Selavy, flies to New York carrying a chessboard, which s/he promptly takes to Duchamp's favored spot in Washington Square. There, s/he interviews all sorts of real-life Greenwich Village weirdos and celebrities, including John Cage. Eventually s/he meets an insane psychiatrist, and from then on her visit goes sour. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Dreams That Money Can Buy
Surrealist painter and Dada film-theorist Hans Richter wrote, produced, and directed the experimental exercise Dreams That Money Can Buy, one of the most significant contributions to the 20th-century "avant garde" movement. The project began in 1944, while Richter was director of the Institute of Film Techniques at City College in New York. Combining short scenarios written by such world-renowned artists as Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamps, Man Ray, Alexander Calder and Fernand Leger, Richter came up with a full-color, feature-length study in dreamlike "wish fulfillment." The film's only nod to continuity is the presence of a self-styled heavenly psychiatrist, whose patients purportedly visualize the images which play across the screen. Described by one observer as "surreal yet somewhat Jungian," Dreams That Money Can Buy cost $25,000 and was three years in the making (Richter liked to take his time: his later Dadascope took five years!) Its New York premiere was greeted with a mixture of bravos and bewilderment, especially when the projectionist elected to show the film on the wall and ceiling rather than the screen. One assumes that the projectionist was less capricious when Dreams That Money Can Buy won a special prize at the 1947 Venice Film Festival. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

At Land
In this surrealist film, Maya Deren's character rolls up on the beach, backwards. She crawls through a party unnoticed, but ultimately has social encounters with a number of people, and snatches a chess piece from a game in progress, running past at least three of her selves on her way down the beach. She is sucked back into the ocean from whence she came. ~ David Lewis, Rovi

MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say the son of a co-creator of the long-running children's show "Barney and Friends" has been arrested for allegedly shooting a Malibu neighbor.
Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Thursday that 27-year-old Patrick Leach was arrested Jan. 9. He is free on $1 million bail.
Whitmore says the neighbor was critically wounded but is expected to survive. Whitmore says the shooting was the result of an ongoing dispute.
Leach is the son of Sheryl Leach, co-creator of the popular PBS show about a purple dinosaur who plays and sings with children.
Each episode ends with Barney singing, "I love you, you love me ..."
Selena Gomez and "X Factor" judge Demi Lovato are among the child actors who have appeared on the show over the years.

This record is easily as good as anything he's done. I mourn for all those Eagles freaks who have never heard Chris at his best .. They really don't know what they're missing. Some of this stuff sounds like Byrds, some like Desert Rose, some like his solo work and some really new stuff I've never heard from him before. The musicanship is as superb as we've all come to expect from this consummate pro, and his musical vision is as fresh as it was when we were all so much younger ... You've just gotta love Chris Hillman, and although I should probably be going into much more detail on a track-by-track basis for this review, I'm too busy riding a sonic magic carpet piloted by this wonderful musician/writer/singer to be bothered by such trvial concerns. Forget everybody else associated with California country rock .. This guy's the Thomas Edison of the entire genre. Get this record. Listen to it. Love it.

Distant planet feels the burn of massive solar flare
When things start heating up in our solar system, we get all in a tizzy over the possibility that cell phone reception might be interrupted, but we can now call these minor inconveniences "third planet problems" in light of new information from Hubble.
Astronomers have found a gas giant, 60 light years away from Earth, that's been hit with a violent flare from its star, blasting it with an intense wave of X-ray radiation. Because the exoplanet is so close to its sun, the radiation causes its atmosphere to evaporate into space at a rate of 1,000 tons per second.
Although this planet has a climate where the temperature reaches around 1000 degrees Celsius, that steamy goodness isn't enough to evaporate the atmosphere, and scientists were thrilled to be able to observe the dramatic differences between this observation and previous ones where they were unable to observe the planet's atmosphere at all. Though "…X-ray emissions are a small part of the star's total output…" they appear to be driving the atmospheric destruction much as they disrupt communications on Earth.
For those of us without that much of a scientific bent but plenty of appetite for random violence on a stellar scale, the cause isn't as important as the hefty dose of space schadenfreude the event provides.

'Tell me what your dreams are'
Nyad's home stretch followed an overnight in which she became so cold, the team didn't stop her for feeding until first light "in the hopes that swimming would keep her warm," the website said.
Every stroke she swam put her deeper into record territory. On Sunday night, she broke Penny Palfrey's record for the farthest anyone has managed on the trek without a shark cage.
In 1997, Australian Susie Maroney completed the swim from within a shark cage. She was 22 at the time.
Nyad set out from Havana at 8:59 a.m. Saturday with a crew of 35, including divers to watch for sharks.
In her first attempt to cross the Straits of Florida in 1978, rough seas left her battered, delirious and less than halfway toward her goal.
She tried again twice in 2011, but her efforts ended after an 11-hour asthma attack and jellyfish stings.
Last year, she abandoned an attempt about halfway through after severe jellyfish stings and a lightning storm put her in danger.
Nyad was a swimming sensation before these attempts. In the 1970s, she won multiple swimming marathons and was one of the first women to swim around the island of Manhattan.
She was 8 years old when she first dreamed about swimming across the Straits of Florida. At the time, Nyad was in Cuba on a trip from her home in Florida in the 1950s, before Fidel Castro led a Communist takeover in Cuba and the country's relations with the United States soured.
The Los Angeles woman had said this was going to be her final attempt.
"I decided, this one no matter what happened, I don't want that experience again -- like right now, tonight -- talking to you about the journey is worth everything. It is. But I didn't want to be here packing up again," Nyad told CNN's Gupta.
She demurred when he described her as a hero but said she hopes she can serve as some sort of inspiration.
"I think that a lot of people in our country have gotten depressed, pinned in, pinned down with living lives they don't want," Nyad said.
She continued: "I do write all the time about -- you tell me what your dreams are. What are you chasing? It's not impossible. Name it."

Bistro Bordeaux
Online Reservations
We have been here several times and always have a great meal along with the surroundings that remind you of a true French Bistro in Paris. This time we went on a Tuesday evening. Tuesdays, you can bring your own bottle of wine and there is no "corkage" charge. I tried their "Fois Gras Terrine" and enjoyed it very much. For dinner, I had the Steak Frites and my wife had the Ribeye. Both were excellent. Our server was very attentive and helpful. We definitely will be returning.
We had a lovely meal and our server was fantastic. The prie fixe menu was a great option. The steak tartare was a very generous portion, the foie gras was perfect, the wine a great compliment to everything.
I really felt like I was in a French bistro. The softshell crab special was especially good (tempura-fried, beurre blanc sauce on bed of thinly sliced short ribs). I also really enjoyed the trout and the brioche pain perdue dessert. I tasted the steak frites -- bistro-perfect. Excellent and affordable French wine list. All in all a very enjoyable experience and an excellent value. The only quibble--I told them we were celebrating my sister's birthday and they didn't acknowledge the occasion or do anything special. (A birthday candle would have been nice, or a tiny little extra sweet thing.)
We enjoy Bistro Bordeaux for special occasions. Their menu is small but they do offer options for most diners. There is always a vegetarian option as well as one or more seafood options. We especially appreciate that they provide fresh produce from local farmers when available. They did a fair job at modifying my dietary needs of no milk/cream in my meal but failed to honor my request of no leeks. Our server politely apologized when our salads were served before our appetizer. They graciously provided a complimentary desert with a candle for a birthday we were celebrating. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious meal in a lovely, relaxed setting...and will return for other special occasions!
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with our two children for my husband's birthday this week. We've dined here several times and have always had a great dinner and lovely evening. Bistro Bordeaux continues to be our favorite French restaurant in the Chicago/Evanston area. Excellent food and service in a welcoming dining room.
We always enjoy the authentic French feel of this bistro. Pascal, the owner, is always gracious and welcoming. There was no valet service the night we were there, and since we were not familiar with downtown Evanston, he parked our car for us. The food, as always, was wonderful. We come all the way from downtown Chicago as often as we can.
Had an excellent Bouillabaisse that was quite respectable with those I have tasted in France. It was a quiet Monday night so the service and noise level was perfect. We enjoyed the Pouilly Fuisse and felt like we had had been in a little corner of Paris, other than no one spoke French. loved the bread and butter too.
We enjoyed the modern take on classic French recipes, such as mussels and Bouillabaisse, combined with a very nice selection of French wines. The service was prompt and attentive. We'll be back!
The place was almost empty at 12:20 PM on a Sunday.This is a small place with relatively small tables and decorated nicely. Outdoor tables were available but we chose to eat inside. Its Sunday Brunch menu was different than on their internet page. We were told by one waiter that there were some specials you could get only thru the internet, but our waitress told us that there were only e-mail specials if you signed up. Food was good, but pricey for what we got: $42 + tip for two of us with no alcohol.
Delightful dinner, trout still as well prepared as last visit
It's been a while since I wanted to go to Bistro Bordeaux, but for some reason I never took the time. When I saw them on Mystery Diners, I finally decided I should try it. I was not disappointed. I got the chicken liver mousse with Dijon mustard, which tasted like heaven. Then I got the trout with mashed potatoes. It was very tasty and delicious. I will definitely go there again!
We were again very pleased with our experience. The flank steak was perfectly prepared, and the truite sauvage was fantastic.
Always great food; I love the steak frites and the seasonal desserts are fantastic. Wonderful choice of wines. It's good to have authentic French cuisine without having to travel into the city.
Great food! Fish, Pork Chop, Dessert excellent!! The service was wonderful and good suggestion for wine!!! I will go back!!
My first time at restaurant and enjoyed the entire experience. The servers were also available. If possible order the steak tartare, it was so well seasoned. I had the 4 hour brined pork chop and it was succulent especially with the spaghetti squash pancake. My friend ordered a glass of wine that was sour and the host agreed and replaced with another until she found out to her liking. Definitely going back.
Dinner at the Bistro transports one back to Paris (or what we envision Paris to be). It was a great dinner with a vibrant crowd and quite the European wine list. Enjoy your trip to France
We came here for brunch. The service here is outstanding. There were multiple people paying attention to our table. We thought the food was very good, but some of it was over-priced. I ordered the Lyonnaise salad, which turned out to be a single poached egg on top of a small portion of frisee lettuce with bacon. It was good, but not $9.00 good. My husband had the peaches and cream french toast, which was fantastic. Other people at our table had egg dishes or bagel with smoked salmon. The smoked salmon was probably the highest quality I've ever seen. That dish was worth the money. Overall, this is a lovely place to dine.
This was our first time and we will be back to try a few different things. Basic bistro fare from steak frites to onion soup. The staff are very, very good and our server was so kind to allow us to have a slow paced meal. The owner Pascal takes time to great guests. The service alone makes us want to go back!
Very special small Bistro with exceptional food, service and ambiance. Worth every penny.
I took my wife here for her birthday. The food was simply wonderful and the wine suggestions outstanding! The service was friendly, yet unobtrusive. While I would love to save this place for special ocassions, it really is too good to wait for those.
Everything about the evening was enjoyable, except the bothersome accordion music. Much too loud and disrupted our table conversation. I do not enjoy straining to listen and having to shout across the table to be heard. The other times we have visited this restaurant there was no live music - a more enjoyable experience.
A friend and I ate here for the first time 2 weeks before and decided to try the brunch menu. The Oeuf Bénédictine and Oeuf Bénédictine Au Saumon were excellent. We wanted something sweet after the savory so decided to order Pain Perdu Aux Bananes & Praline to share and weren't happy. The Praline sauce was very heavy and thick, definitely not expected since dinner and other menu ideas were so flavorful. The server kept mimosa glasses filled.
The staff was very friendly and the food very good. It's worth a trip just for the pain perdu!
I expected to be wowed, and nearly was. The menu selections were not entirely to my taste and therefore had few options to pick from for the entree. The food was well prepared, well presented and the portions were appropriate to the price. I would go back. The restaurant is fairly small which lent itself to an intimate experience. Our waiter was very knowledgeable. The ambience was definitely European, with old black and white photos of the owner's family adorning much of the wall space. Desserts were "special" in a very good way.
For this being my 1st time there I was blowrm away. Pascal the owner was kind enough to let move over so I could sit at the bar even though he was in the middle of a meeting. The food was phenomenoneal & I can't wait to go back & try more.
Our group of 5 enjoyed a great dinner before a concert at the Nichols concert hall in Evanston. Everyone raved about the food and ambience. We will be back.
Our fist visit to this wonderful restaurant will definitely not be the last. The small, intimate space adds to the enjoyment, the service is excellent, the food is superb. Only complaint is that when crowded, the noise level is unpleasant.
We love going to Bistro Bordeaux. It was my husband's birthday and we tend to celebrate special occasions there so this was another excuse to go! We really love the outstanding cuisine as well as the exceptional service. They treat us like family!
Always a winner! Service, menu choices and wine list provide diners with a great experience.
We took my daughter and a group of her friends to dinner. Although the restaurant was full, our waitperson was attentive and friendly, and the food was very good. I would definately go back.
You'll love the authentic French food here at Bordeaux Bistro. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wine list and food offerings. He was prompt, attentive without fawning, and personable. We had a lovely family meal, and there was something for everyone on the menu. Magnifique!
Had the brined pork chop... it was the best I can ever recall having, I'm thinking about taking another run up to this restaurant in the next week or so to order another.
I am currently a student taking French as my language course and has a project due that required me to either prepare a French meal, watch a French movie or dine at a French restaurant. I obviously choose the latter. Bistro Bordeaux was excellent from the ambiance and the food to the servers with their knowledge of everything on the menu and willingness to help me by answering the million and one questions I had. I loved it!
We were visiting Evanston and decided to try this interesting restaurant. This small bistro is full of character from the moment you enter. The service was excellent providing advice on the menu items and on the nice selection of French wines. Several wines are available by the glass, and there are interesting beers also. The onion soup was as good as we have had. Braised lamb shanks, grilled steak, mussels, and the seafood in a wonderful broth were all excellent. Prices were very reasonable, and we will certainly go back again.
We happened on Bistro Bordeaux because we could not secure a reservation at a another restaurant we intended to go to on Saturday evening. How fortunate we were. The cuisine is outstanding, the service gracious and well-paced, the atmosphere lovely and relaxing. We enjoyed everything we ordered--each dish looked beautiful and tasted equally so. The wine list is biased toward French wines, which is appropriate for a French bistro. The waiter was kind enough to permit us to taste several wines before making a selection. We enjoyed the wine, though we much prefer California, Oregon, Australian, and New Zealand wines to the three French wines we tasted. We would definitely return--we had a top-notch experience at Bistro Bordeaux!
We were seated quickly and the great service commenced. The appetizers were very good. We ordered 4 different meals and each had a taste of the other 3. The 2 steak entrees could have included a better trimmed piece of meat. The preparation was very good and accurate (Medium and Medium Rare). We did not have dessert, but the selections were tempting. Finally, the wine list was pretty extensive.
I was there on a Tuesday night when they have oysters at a buck a piece. Devine! And the morsel of foie gras was amazing. It was a cold night and the oyster were too but the toast with the foie was hot. I wish I lived closer for another Tuesday or ten
It felt like Paris. Our dinner was excellent and the service very good. The beet salad was delicious, and the moules frites (mussels with french fries) were perfectly prepared. I couldn't stop munching on the perfect frites. For dessert we tried the Ile Flottange (floating island) which was a delight --- soft meringues that tasted like marshmallows in a caramel flavored souplike sauce. Yum.
We had a wonderful dinner at Bistro Bordeaux. The food was perfect and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Our server made two wine suggestions based on a description of the type of wine we wanted and he brought us a taste of each. Both were perfect. Our meal was delicious too. From the hostess to the owner to our server, we could not have been treated better. The restaurant was full and lively.
We have dined at Bistro Bordeaux several times, and the most recent visit with another couple was one of the best experiences. Starting with a large choce of aperitifs (Dubonnet Rouge is an old favorite), the French wine selecton is not overwhelming, but with more than enough varieties. vintages and prices to suit anyone. The classic items including foie gras, steak tartare, escargots, and onion soup are there as well as charcuterie and cheeses, as well as unexpected ideas. Entrees including Amish chicken, lamb shank, steak and croque madame. Everyone raved! The service was excellent and the setting romantic (if desired!) Will continue to make repeat appearances!
Everything was good about our experience, but I think the service was exceptional. It wasn't ultra-fine-dining level where both entrees touch the table at the same time (nor was our bill $600), but every bit as good on practical matters. Our waiter was very knowledgable, attentive, and accommodating. He was there whenever we needed something, checked w/ us after the first couple of bites of each course (neither before we started or, as is sadly sometimes the case, when we only had a couple of bites left), and otherwise stayed out of our way. Pacing was perfect (kudos to kitchen as well for that). The menu is interesting, varied, and the food was well prepared and flavorful. All and all a delightful experience.
My husband and I eat here frequently. The food, service and ambience never fail to please!
We had a very nice meal here. The atmosphere is cozy with just enough activity but not too noisy. Nice French wine list - good variety and the server knew it well so had suggestions. Classic French bistro menu but with enough variety to provide interesting choices. Most of what we ordered - a wide selection - was very well prepared and tasty. Escargots so-so. Beet salad and lamb shank was superb. Our server was great but service was a little slow - seemed like he had too many tables. We didn't really care as we had a long evening with lots of wine and plenty of time. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant. Made for a nice evening.
Henri and his staff are delightful and efficient. Food is terrific. Even the silverware is substantial.
I have been here many times; with my wife, my kids (grown), with friends. It is reliable bistro fare with a unique flare. Farm to table conscious chef Michael Gottlieb ads creative takes on traditional dishes. Excellent sweetbreads. Crisp on the outside, tender and delicious. Ribeye cooked suvee with puréed cauliflower. Flavorful savory and not overseasoned; cooked exactly as ordered. Skate wing: large tender portion. For dessert, the Pain Perdu au Calvados is a MUST! Sweet fried brioche (soaked in egg - like French bread), with ice cream, calvados & vanilla bean caramel! Good selection of wines and knowledgable servers. Oh yes... Great fresh oysters from east and west coast. We had 2 dozen for the table. Every one was plump and delicious.
This small place is almost unique, in my experience. They serve authentic French recipes, but with just the right amount of creativity. BB was more traditional when it opened, and I'm glad to see it branch out from the classics and become more adventurous. The food is impeccably prepared and the service is attentive but not overbearing or stuffy. The wine list is all-French, reasonably priced, and interesting. Simply an outstanding cozy little restaurant that focuses on all the right things.
Bistro Bordeaux not only had an excellent ambiance, albeit a little bit cramped, it had excellent food as well. I'm not entirely sure the portions of the food justified the high price but regardless of the price, I had the great pleasure of sampling many of the dishes, including those that some of my friends had ordered. From the steak to the mussels to the lamb to the brioche, everything was outstanding, full of unique tastes. The chefs really used garnishes and sauces really effectively. My friend even teared up when he first tasted the steak! The one qualm I have with Bistro Bordeaux's food are the fries. Though they were good fries, I would expect better side dishes from this kind of price. But overall, the food was excellent.
My wife suggested that we eat out on my actual birthday, even though I had been taken out by family members the weekend prior. We had eaten several times before at Bistro Bordeaux and have become fond of French cuisine after our trip to Paris this past summer. The food selections are excellent and very French. The execution is right on and the portions are ample, though not overwhelming like at some food chains. Again, very French. Our waiter was of French origin, very helpful and had a great personality and table-side manner. Unlike in France, he came by to check on things at good intervals. His knowledge of wines was excellent and the overall package made our dinner a delight and just the right way to cap off the evening. Bon Apetite!
Even on a busy Saturday night the restaurant had very polished service, with good timing and terrific food. We had been before, but it seems to get better each time. The French bistro menu has plenty of well-done classics along with a few token other dishes, also interesting and well-prepared. The wine list is not extensive, but there are many good choices at reasonable prices. The French owner (Pascal) made the rounds, and he is a friendly, dedicated man who is eager to bring favorites from his country and region to a fairly savvy North Shore audience with high expectations for quality and value. He and Michael have the north suburbs locked up for French food, one for more basic (but still special) fare, the other for more haute cuisine!
I lived in France for four years; this is the real deal. Nothing prepared in advance. We were a group of ten and sampled just about everything. A couple of things were good, everything else was excellent. All of the desserts were fresh and well executed.

When President Bill Clinton stood in the East Room of the White House on June 26, 2000, and hailed the completion of the Human Genome Project, calling its results "the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind," he was not looking to inaugurate an era of high-tech snake oil sales. Yet less than a decade later Web-based purveyors of genetic tests and dietary supplements are hawking nutritional genetics, or nutrigenetics, with claims that it can look at an individual's genetic information to figure out what that person should eat to promote stronger bones, shinier hair and other trappings of good health. So far, though, hyperbole has outpaced promise. This nascent field provides a cautionary tale of how commerce often races ahead of science: the commercialization of gene detection technology has occurred before scientists have developed an adequate understanding of how particular genes contribute to health and disease.
Information derived from sequencing the DNA code in every human chromosome is gradually enabling scientists to create tests and treatments that have the potential to prevent, diagnose, ameliorate and perhaps even cure disease. It is also paving the way for "personalized medicine," which is based on the recognition that genetic differences among individuals can explain why one person's body reacts differently than another's to food, drugs, sun, exercise, allergens or other stimuli. In an ideal world, a genetic test would reveal which medication or other therapy would work best and produce the fewest side effects in a given individual. And investigators are now beginning to create such tests. One milestone occurred this past summer, when the Food and Drug Administration approved the first genetic test to help a patient gauge the best dosage for a blood-thinning drug called warfarin. The test is certain to be followed by scores of others that attempt to better match drug to patient.

Jackson Strong, a snowmobile amateur, decided to try a trick called The Jack during the X-Games best trick contest Sunday night only to end up almost getting run over and endangering the lives of spectators!
During the trick, Strong fell off his snowmobile after aborting his landing, falling hard on the snow. But worst of all he left the throttle open on the snowmobile. After nearly hitting Strong, the snowmobile broke through the fence and went into the spectator area leaving fans running.
One fan was reportedly injured, not from the snowmobile but from trying to avoid it. Strong attempted the trick AGAIN during his second turn only to fall on the landing

State of the City Address January 9, 2013
State of the City Address
As children, we are fascinated by puzzles and I think everyone here has probably done a connect-the-dots puzzle at some point. It's a pretty simple concept…you draw a line, from dot-to-dot until a bigger picture can be seen.
And there is a moment…when the solution is revealed to you…and you know that everything you did prior to that…has resulted in your success.
In his now famous commencement address at Stanford University, Steve Jobs began with a little story about connecting the dots…explaining how he dropped out of college…and because he did, he had time to sit in on classes that he wouldn't have ordinarily taken, like a calligraphy class…which later became the main reason Apple products have such a strong graphics interface.
The point is…good things don't happen by accident. They happen because you prepare for success.
They happen because you learn from every experience…because you develop plans…then implement them. They happen because you connect-the-dots and always keep focused on the big picture.
I'm going to share with you today how we connect the dots in our administration. How we have planned for economic development…blight elimination…redevelopment…crime prevention…and how all these things come together.
Let's start with our overhaul of the Department of Public Works which begins to completely change the way we serve you…the public.
We're reducing energy consumption…air pollution and costs through efficiency in our buildings and vehicles…with the price tag for conversion covered by savings in fuel and maintenance costs.
This year, we renovated a 90-year-old Junior High School to house the Public Works and Planning Center with one-stop shopping for permitting.
This is the first City-Parish building to generate its own power through solar panels…and the first to be LEED Gold Certified for its energy efficiency.
We've implemented online permitting and an improved 311 Call System to handle your requests for assistance.
This year, if you have a smart phone – you can send us a complaint or request help just as easily as you would post a message on Facebook or Twitter.
Many of the requests we receive have to do with cleaning up abandoned properties…so now let's connect the dots to how we reduce the amount of blighted properties that are not only an eyesore, but also attract crime.
We're working on strategies to reduce blight in both residential and commercials areas…and we have already transferred over 120 tax-adjudicated properties to our Redevelopment Authority to be returned to productive use.
We've worked with the RDA to reform our code enforcement process and our office will have a new Enforcement Department with enhanced capability that will help fuel both pride and reinvestment in our city's core.
This is one of our priorities in the FUTUREBR plan that we are moving to implement in 2013. From eliminating blight…let's connect-the-dots to Redevelopment.
Our FUTUREBR plan focuses on redeveloping key areas of our parish as a catalyst for spurring further development.
Our 2012 budget supplement included funding for revitalizing the Smiley Heights area in Mid-City and the Governor has committed $14 million to this project.
In an area that has seen too much blight and crime, we will partner with the State, the Baton Rouge Community College, and private investors to create a development that will house an auto technology center, residential housing and retail.
We also had an unexpected opportunity to purchase the 24-acre former Women's Hospital site to convert it to a state-of-the-art public safety complex for literally pennies on the dollar.
We have a purchase agreement for $10 million…with the property appraised for almost $20 million.
The site includes a parking garage…heliport…ample surface parking, office and warehouse space…all within close proximity to the Interstate.
Our original bond issue proposed a new headquarters for the Baton Rouge Police and the Sheriff with a joint training facility at a cost of over $100 million.
Now we have a unique opportunity to create a combined law enforcement presence in the center of the City…at a vastly reduced cost…thanks to a seller who wanted to give something back to Baton Rouge when relocating to its new hospital campus.
We will bring the best financial proposal to the Metro Council for approval…and look forward to moving on this truly outstanding opportunity.
In another priority area of FUTUREBR…the state has committed $12 million for the widening of Essen Lane from Perkins Road to I-10 to ease congestion in this one-mile stretch that sees 35,000 cars a day.
This is a critical component in developing our Medical District identified in our FUTUREBR plan…and North Baton Rouge is our third priority area for redevelopment projects.
With this in mind, we are working with the Baton Rouge Area Chamber and the State Economic Development team with a special focus on our targeted areas.
For the past year, we've been working to secure a major retailer to redevelop a closed industrial site.
Working with an international chemical and energy sector company to locate a manufacturing and logistics center in Baton Rouge.
One of our chemical facilities will employ several thousand people for upgrades and expansions this year…giving further boost to our jobs market.
And we're short-listed with one other city for a major information technology project that will give Baton Rouge national attention in the digital media industry.
We hope to make these exciting announcements in the coming months.
In addition, I have long championed recruiting international investment to our city…and have been invited to Taiwan again this year by the Mayor of our Sister City of Taichung who has become a friend in our work together. The Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Houston will facilitate this trip to discuss opportunities for investment in Baton Rouge by Taiwanese companies and, in turn opportunities for Baton Rouge companies to sell products in Taiwan.
So we have connected-the-dots from redevelopment to jobs creation.
And now from jobs creation, we can connect the dots to fighting crime…because I have said for some time that we must address the root causes of crime in our community…and at the same time assure a strong, professional law enforcement presence on our streets.
With the launch of our Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination Program – or BRAVE – with a $1.5 million dollar federal grant, we are giving violent offenders an opportunity to rehabilitate themselves or face the consequences.
Our BRAVE unit has made tremendous progress in bridging the gap between community and police…and we are beginning to see the results we expected.
Since the BRAVE project began last June, it has made over 300 narcotics arrests…seized 46 hand guns and assault weapons from felony offenders…and confiscated over $1 million dollars of drugs at street value.
To compliment this effort, our "Street Operations" patrols have made nearly 700 narcotics arrests in the same period.
Before the implementation of BRAVE, Baton Rouge was averaging 7 or more homicides a month. Since that time, the homicide rate has dropped by over 60 percent.
In 2012, the City of Baton Rouge saw 67 homicides…seven of which were the result of domestic violence. The parish as a whole saw a total of 14 domestic violence related deaths last year.
As we continue to see deep budget cuts to mental health services and domestic violence programs at the state level, we must realize that the fall-out from this endangers cities…and public safety.
In Baton Rouge, the state budget cuts will reduce the number of available beds in a local battered women's shelter by one-third…and that shelter already turns away an average of five women a day.
The Baton Rouge Shelter took in over 500 women last year and over 300 children…for temporary housing when they had to be removed from a violent situation at home.
A number of legislators have asked the Governor to reconsider some of these cuts…and I echo that plea in light of the burdens and risks they place on local communities…and the danger they pose to the safety and lives of a very vulnerable population.
Now let's talk about connecting the dots on a map…and our efforts to get traffic around our city and parish moving.
I am pleased to report that every project in the Green Light Program is moving forward – either completed, under construction or in design.
That means since voters approved the Green Light Program in 2005, we have committed over $500 million dollars to Green Light Projects…with nearly 30 projects complete…and you can see the results in every part of the parish.
This year, the largest road project in the history of East Baton Rouge Parish will be completed…the long awaited Central Thruway.
And in our transportation planning…we're working with the state to transfer some state roads within our parish to our local jurisdiction…and along with them some significant road improvement projects to relieve traffic.
We're developing a "Great Streets" program that improves mobility and creates destinations for a more livable city. In April, we will host our first "Better Block" program on Government Street that will be a demonstration project of temporary street-scaping to help gather public feedback for future projects.
I hope you have seen our new Town Square…that has won six national and regional awards for planning, design and construction…and hosted 131 events since it opened in April.
Repentance Park and the Galvez Plaza Stage will both be complete in February…the Hampton Inn in the next 90 days…and private investment in Downtown is booming…as we knew it would.
Along with the announcement of a new mixed use riverfront development comes word that a small grocery…a pharmacy…a new blues club…and other amenities are coming downtown.
I want to clarify something…just because I may have celebrated one of those milestone birthdays…this is NOT why the Antiques Road Show is coming to town.
This became a reality after improvements to our River Center helped land Baton Rouge as one of 8 national stops on the Antiques Road Show 2013 tour…our first time to host this popular program that is generating a lot of excitement, and more importantly is the highest rated ongoing primetime PBS series in public television.
Some final notes:
Soon, we will complete our 8th new Fire Station and in February, a new academy class of firefighters will graduate…with the 2013 budget including funds for another class…all to help maintain the longest standing Class One rating in America.
While handling emergencies from Hurricane Isaac to the tanker spill on I-10…our Mayor's Office of Homeland Security again received national accreditation and still remains one of only 13 local jurisdictions in America to hold this achievement.
Bayou Country Superfest individual tickets went on sale today, so it's time to dust off your boots for another incredible line-up of some of the top stars of country music. Remember, Baton Rouge has become a Memorial Day weekend destination…and that's good news for local businesses.
Our Baton Rouge Film Commission has recruited over 100 productions generating more than $500 million dollars to our community.
840 local businesses have become involved…with over 1200 working local cast and crew members.
Connect-the-dots…this is truly one of our most successful economic development success stories.
In 2013, we expect job growth for East Baton Rouge Parish. Housing sales are up and sales tax revenues have rebounded strongly.
I plan to focus on new initiatives like medical branding, letting people know you do not need to leave Baton Rouge to get quality health care…job training…and educational outreach, emphasizing math and science programs with internships in the public and private sector to help prepare our children for the careers of tomorrow.
Soon, we will conduct another planning process with input from citizens throughout the parish to identify priorities for these next four years. I find that the best way to move our community forward is to get people engaged.
We are committed to working with the Metro Council…for we cannot lose our capacity to work well together for the good of our community. It is my hope that we can move beyond parochial thinking and always put East Baton Rouge Parish first.
Henry Ford said, coming together is a beginning…keeping together is progress…and working together is success.
Remember…connect-the-dots. Success doesn't happen by accident…and it's important to stay focused on the big picture.
Ladies and Gentlemen…it's my pleasure to report to you that our city and parish are strong and our local economy the envy of cities across America for its resilience and its vitality.
We have accomplished so much together…come through difficult times and remain committed to a better future for our children and grandchildren.
This story we are writing together is far from over.
Beginning this new term as your Mayor-President, I feel we have a new chapter to write…and I believe it just might be our best.
I know there will be some exciting twists…some interesting new characters…and you won't believe how good the ending will be.
May God Bless the good people of Baton Rouge, Zachary, Baker, Central and all of East Baton Rouge Parish. And may God Bless America.
Thank you.

4 Things Parents Should Know Before Paying for College
Category: Urban Ed Written by Michigan Chronicle Staff
From $20,000 to $65,000 a year – that's the tuition cost for one year of college, says John McDonough, a money expert who helps retirees and parents plan for their families' futures.
"For the 2012–2013 academic year, the average cost for an in-state public college is $22,261. A moderate budget for a private college averaged $43,289," says McDonough, CEO of Studemont Group College Funding Solutions, www.studemontgroup.com. "But for elite schools, we're talking about three times the cost of your local state school. Either way, your kid's higher education can easily shoot into six figures after four years."
Along with worrying about rising tuition prices, parents also fear for their own futures if their retirement savings are drained by children's college costs, McDonough says. Only 14 percent, for example, are very confident they'll have the money to live comfortably in retirement, he says, citing a 2012 survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
"Families feel they're faced with conflicting goals, but there are numerous ways to pay for college while investing in your future retirement," says McDonough, who offers insights for parents to keep in mind while planning for their child's education:
• The ROI of a college education: At a time when so many American families are financially strapped, college is an especially stressful topic because parents know higher learning will help their kids succeed. College graduates earn 84 percent than those with only a high school diploma, according to Georgetown's Center on Education and the Workforce. Here is how earning breaks down over one's life time, based on education: a doctoral degree-holder will earn $3.3 million over a lifetime; $2.3 million is estimated for a college graduate; those with only a high school diploma can expect $1.3 million.
• Move retirement assets to qualify for grants: Most parents know about the 529 savings account, but that's not necessarily the best or only option. Reallocating your retirement assets, such as 401(k)s, can better position a child to qualify for grants and scholarships. This legal and ethical maneuvering may be the single most important factor when considering how to pay for college.
• Know your student's strengths and weaknesses: Consider independent and objective analysis of your future college student. Assessment might include a personality profile and a detailed search for a future career. Also think about a more nuts-and-bolts approach, including scholarship eligibility, SAT and ACT prep courses, review of admissions essays and an in-depth analysis of chances for enrollment in a student's top four choices of colleges.
• Make a checklist of financial aid forms: In order to maximize a fair price of higher education, remember there is plenty of data to review. McDonough recommends a checklist with a timeline and notable deadlines. Be ready to troubleshoot the "alphabet soup" of data forms: FAFSA – Free Application For Federal Student Aid; CSS profile – College Scholarship Service; SAR – Student Aid Report; and more. Think about this process as a second job, or find professional help you can trust.

Dr. M. Roy Wilson Unanimously Voted President of Wayne State University
Category: Urban Ed Written by Cathy Nedd
Wayne State University's Board of Governors voted unanimously today to elect M. Roy Wilson, M.D., M.S., as the University's 12th President, effective August 1, 2013. Debbie Dingell, chair of the Board of Governors, made the announcement.
Wilson will succeed Allan Gilmour, who has agreed to serve as president until Wilson takes office. Gilmour joined the university as interim president in August 2010 and was elected president by the Board in January 2011.
"We looked at a number of outstanding candidates from around the nation," said Dingell. "The board concluded that Roy's extensive leadership experience—particularly in academia and medicine — will be crucial as both the state of Michigan and Wayne State grapple with changes in higher education and health care. His understanding and appreciation of the importance of a major research university is yet another reason Roy the right person at the right time for Wayne State. We are delighted that he has joined this great university."
Wilson's appointment follows an extensive search that began in the late fall of 2012. "The Presidential Search Committee conducted a national search that produced excellent candidates in higher education, government and the corporate world. There was a lot of interest in Wayne State University," said Gary Pollard, vice chair of the Board of Governors and chair of the Presidential Search Committee.
Dr. Wilson currently serves as deputy director for strategic scientific planning and program coordination at the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
As deputy director, Dr. Wilson oversees the development and implementation of an integrated system for planning, coordinating and evaluating the NIH health disparities research portfolio, in collaboration with the NIH institutes and centers. He also co-chairs the recently announced NIH Common Fund programs: the Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity Initiative and the National Research Mentoring Network.
Previously, Dr. Wilson served as dean of the School of Medicine and vice president for health sciences at Creighton University, president of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and, concurrently, chancellor of the University of Colorado Denver and chair of the Board of Directors of University of Colorado Hospital.
Dr. Wilson's research has focused on glaucoma and blindness in populations from the Caribbean to West Africa. He holds elected memberships in the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, the International Glaucoma Research Society and the American Ophthalmological Society.
Dr. Wilson received his undergraduate degree from Allegheny College, an M.D. from Harvard Medical School, and an M.S. in epidemiology from the University of California, Los Angeles. He was selected for the list of Best Doctors in America for 14 consecutive years by Best Doctors Inc. and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Business Journal's Healthcare CEO of the Year in 2011. His additional honors include the American Academy of Ophthalmology's Senior Achievement Award, the Distinguished Physician Award from the Minority Health Institute, the Herbert W. Nickens Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges, and the NIH Director's Award.
"I am grateful the board has asked me to serve as President, and I am honored to accept this great responsibility," said Wilson. "Higher education is evolving rapidly, with many changes and challenges, both now and into the future. Wayne State University has a history of excellence and opportunity, and we must lead the way. I see my job as bringing us all together to build upon a rich legacy, and to position us for a successful future for the sake of our students, faculty, staff and friends, and the community and State we serve."

PBGC protects pensions. So, what is a pension? To most people, a pension is a retirement arrangement in which your employer promises you a regular payment from the day you retire, for as long as you live. The amount of your pension usually depends on how long you worked for an employer and your salary with that employer. Ask a retiree, "What is a pension?" and they may say,
"A pension is the $400 per month I receive for my many years of service at Acme Widgets. My pension helps to supplement the $600 per month I receive from Social Security and my retirement savings."
Normally, employees must work for an employer for a certain time period before the benefits they have earned belong to them. After they have done so, they are considered "vested" in those benefits. Today, in some pension plans, you are fully vested after five years on the job. In others, it takes you seven years to become fully vested - but you become vested in increasing portions of your benefit starting at three years. If you've worked for more than one company long enough to become vested in multiple pension plans, you can receive more than one pension payment.
Across the country, there are more than 38,000 people who haven't claimed pension benefits they are owed. Those unclaimed pensions equal a total of over $300 million dollars, with individual benefits ranging from twelve cents to almost a million dollars.
The states with the most missing pension participants and money to be claimed are:
