Moderated by Katrin Katz, Independent Consultant, East Asian Security and Economic Issues
The world's eyes are on Japan as it struggles to recover from the largest recorded earthquake in its history. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami have produced a formidable humanitarian crisis and severely compromised Japan's civil nuclear infrastructure, straining the central government's capacity to manage the country in the aftermath of disaster. Amidst ongoing recovery and containment efforts, a third nuclear reactor has exploded in as many days, shaking public confidence in the safety of nuclear installations at home
and abroad. Please join The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and The Chicago Council on Science and Technology for a panel discussion addressing the crisis in Japan, focusing on questions of nuclear safety and containment, their effect on regional geopolitics, and the consequences for the future of U.S. nuclear development policy.
Kennette Benedict is the executive director and publisher of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a magazine established by Manhattan Project scientists in 1945 to inform the public about the dangers of nuclear weapons and other catastrophic threats to humanity. From 1992 to 2005, she directed the international peace and security program at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. She also established and directed the foundation's initiative in the former Soviet Union from 1992 to 2002. Before joining the foundation in 1987, she taught at Rutgers University and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Benedict received her A.B. from Oberlin College and a Ph. D. in political science from Stanford University.
Robert Gallucci became president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in July 2009, having previously served as dean of Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. Gallucci previously served in several government capacities, including with the U.S. Department of State as ambassador-at-large and as a special envoy to address the threat posed by the proliferation of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction. He has authored a number of publications, including Neither Peace Nor Honor: The Politics of American Military Policy in Vietnam and Going Critical: The First North Korean Nuclear Crisis with Joel S. Wit and Daniel Poneman. Gallucci earned his B.A. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Brandeis University.
Scott Sagan is the Caroline S.G. Munro Professor of Political Science, codirector of Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation, and a senior fellow at The Freeman Spogli Institute. Before joining the Stanford faculty, Sagan was a lecturer in the department of government at Harvard University and served as a special assistant to the director of the organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. He has also served as a consultant to the office of the Secretary of Defense, the Sandia National Laboratory, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and serves as a coleader of the Academy's Global Nuclear Future Initiative

My Great Outdoors: Sudha's Repurposed Garden Balcony
Name: Sudha
Location: Apharetta, GA
Type of space: Balcony Garden
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: I tried reusing and re-purposing used milk cans and yogurt containers from my kitchen and my friends' kitchens. I'm growing a kitchen garden with okra, tomatoes, chillies and herbs such as fennel, cilantro and mint. I also added a DIY bird bath and feeder to the whole set up. Loved the whole experience!
How did you create it?
Used milk cans and yogurt containers as planters; an IKEA stand as a space saver; clay pots and saucers for the bird feed; old plates and trays as saucers for my plant pots.
Recommended store, site, product or resource?

i'm working on this right now.
i've painted cinder blocks and planks of wood for the shelving. have not considered the pots yet - so this is probably a good option. although, i would probably want to paint mine. [i think i'm going paining mad...]
but really i wanted to comment so say i LOVE alpharetta georgia. visited my friend's family there a few times and i think it's so charming!
Sudha ,
It really looks great .Cool balcony garden :)
Great use of the Ikea shelving. I had envisioned doing a similar vegetable garden with that very same shelving, using even the sides rails to grow bean stalks. Maybe next year.
the shelf is a great addition to the balcony
Seeing little seedling and baby shoots always makes for a compelling story. What will you do when the tomatoes and other plants have reached maturity and started producing? That's a very small space for the amount of stuff you planted.
Loved the way you have utilized the available space. The shelf and the recycled containers. The highlight is the bird feeder/ bath. You always inspire me that where there is a will there is always a way. Keep up the good work.
Sudha akka..
Awesome is the word.:).. For me you are always meant to do things differently.. positively and whole heartedly..while enjoying the whole experience and time that you invest..
and like always u did it yet again..:)
Thank u people for all the comments...right said williams...my intention was to encourage people around me to re use things. I wanted to start the process and pool in people, their spaces and efforts...so am scouting for people to adopt my saplings....any takers? :)
Hi Sudha!
That is so cool and awesome stuff you did... I knew you were always active in the 'go green' projects. today, you presented one more fabulous example how to make our lives and others lives better:)
I love your bird bath/feeder--I'm going to use your idea to make one for our backyard today! Thanks.
Hi Sudha,
This is really cool stuff you are doing specially the recycling part. I have recently got into recycling things and being green. I just started a small garden in my balcony. Hope I can get lot of inspiration and advice from you. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Sudha!!
Good Job!!! This is awesome! soooooo very coooooooooooool!!! Just love the way you've utilized stuff and arranged them so beautifully!
You're the BEST!!! :)
Wow!! This is nice!
This is what is called as "utility, sustainability, aesthetics and ecology" ;-)
wooooooooowwwwwwww, that is so cute. Oh my god, your balcony looks awesome. I had been struggling to find time to login but I am glad I did. Give yourself a big hug, u are in that 2% people who are called creative. Try some climbers, they will add to the beauty. And recycling, go green etc, your balcony shows how much u believe in it.
Damn cool!!! Strangely feeling very proud to see your work here :) !!!
hi vineeta
that was really sweet of u !!...thanks a ton for the comment
Great job, Sudha! Everything looks wonderful.

Virgin Mobile Coverage & Coverage Map
Virgin Mobile coverage largely depends on where you live or plan to use your phone most often. It is probably that you may lose service completely, if you travel to certain areas of the country. Some areas are definitely better than others. Also, you may want to consider how much you plan to travel when thinking about the coverage offered with Virgin Mobile.
The great lakes area around Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio has great coverage. Coverage is also great on the Northern East coast in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. However, there is virtually no coverage in Maine. All of Delaware has great coverage. In the Southern United States, coverage is excellent in Florida, Southeastern Texas, and Southwestern Louisiana.
There is very little coverage in Alabama and Mississippi, but with decent coverage in Atlanta, Georgia. The Eastern United States in general has some coverage throughout, but does not seem to be very strong in parts other than those listed above. In the Western United States, coverage is especially sparse, with the best coverage being in Southern and central California. Most major cities like Seattle, Portland, and Phoenix all have some degree of coverage. There is no coverage at all in Montana and virtually none in Wyoming and South Dakota. The only coverage in Nevada is in the Southern tip of the state.
The Midwestern states have the least amount of coverage overall. Virgin Mobile seems to be the best option if you reside near the great lakes, the Northern East coast (with the exception of Maine),Florida, Southeastern Texas, Southwestern Louisiana, or the Los Angeles area. Coverage for Virgin Mobile seems best is more densely populated areas. If you reside in more rural communities, coverage is far less likely. Here is a link to the Virgin Mobil coverage map: http://www.virginmobileusa.com/utility/coverage_map.html.

Remove or return colors to Simulink object backgrounds
Watch this File
Many Simulink developers have a policy against setting block background colors to anything other than white. The standard argument against coloring of blocks and subsystems is that colors are exclusively reserved to convey sample times in the model. To color a block would be to the detriment of readability when reviewing sample times.
While there is merit in this argument, the developer pays a heavy cost in readability when sample time colors are off. It is far easier to grasp what a model is doing when blocks are color-coded by function.
MDL_COLOR was created to provide the user the best of both worlds. When run, this utility will set the background color of all Simulink objects in a model to white. This facilitates model inspection when sample times colors are enabled.
Once sample time colors are no longer needed, simply call MDL_COLOR again, and all blocks will revert to their previous color.

Remember the Cold War military doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction? The idea was that if the United States and the Soviet Union both knew the enemy had enough weapons to wipe the entire country off the map, neither would actually use those weapons. Mutually Assured Destruction got the entire world through the age of fallout shelters and Barry Goldwater. So the doctrine should be powerful enough to get Google, Apple and Microsoft past Justice Department antitrust regulators.
It's a given that Google's $12.5 billion Motorola bid is going to be scrutinized for its antitrust implications. Google's law firm on the deal, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, has conceded that point; the firm announced that David Gelfand – who previously escorted Google unscathed through antitrust reviews of its DoubleClick and AdMob acquisitions — will be antitrust counsel on the Motorola bid. The $4.5 billion acquisition of Nortel's intellectual property by a consortium led by Microsoft and Apple is already under review by the DOJ's antitrust division. I'm betting that each patent plays will have an easier time passing regulatory muster because of the other.
Before I get to why, there's the issue of which agency will be investigating the Google deal. Both the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department have the power to conduct premerger antitrust reviews. They've both looked at Google acquisitions in the past: the FTC green-lighted the 2007 DoubleClick and 2010 AdMob deals; the DOJ rejected Google's proposed advertising partnership with Yahoo in 2008 and approved, with some modifications, its deal with ITA Software in 2011. The FTC is also reportedly conducting a widespread antitrust investigation of Google's search engine business. But I have it on good authority that the Justice Department will be handling the Motorola review, partly because DOJ has historically overseen competition in the telephone industry and is already reviewing the AT&T merger with T-Mobile and the Nortel IP sale.
Traditionally, antitrust regulators look at deals as either horizontal or vertical acquisitions. The classic horizontal deal is a merger of two rivals in the same market. A vertical acquisition is one that helps a company with its own upstream or downstream products. Vertical deals are considered less of a threat to competition within a market, so they get less antitrust scrutiny. In one regard, Google's Motorola acquisition is a simple vertical merger, since it puts Google into two businesses it wasn't in before: manufacturing smartphone handsets (and set-top devices) and licensing patents.
But IP complicates the traditional horizontal-or-vertical analysis, because patents, by their very nature, are intended to squelch competition: patent holders have a short-term monopoly on their invention. If you've paid even the slightest attention to the patent-bound technology industries, you know how viciously patents can be wielded for anticompetitive purposes, particularly when end products like computers and smart phones are covered by hundreds of patents. The FTC conducted hearings in June (here's the transcript) on what it calls "patent hold-up" — the ability of a patent owner to extract big licensing fees for IP that's just part of a sophisticated tech product.

For a 6.75 hp motor, sure doesn't have the power to cut tall thick grass. Ended up cutting area twice, once with the height adjustment all the way up. Second pass with adjustment on second level. My old 5.5 hp would cut with no problem. Also, the engagement bar is quite uncomfortable.

We bought this lawn mower because I have been a big fan of Craftsman products. This is the second Craftsman item that I have bought in the last 1 1/2 years with issues. This Ready Start lawnmower always starts up on one pull as advertised, but dies within 30 seconds to 5 minutes of running, I let it set for a few minutes, then it starts back up. After 7 weeks, I returned it and they sent it away for repairs. Three weeks I was without a mower! When I got it back, they replaced the shroud (why?), recoil start (why? this was not an issue), spark plug (why? wasn't fouled out), and adjusted the carburetor. They tried charging me for the spark plug after 5 times of use and I told the clerk and the repair people I wasn't going to pay for anything!! It was a little over 2 months old!! I should have gotten my money back then! Still doesn't run and is getting worse. I can mow 1 strip at a time before it dies, then I have to let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool off. I will not take it back to Sears to have it repaired again. DO NOT BUY!!

It will not start. I feel like if it had a primer it actually would start. no prime my ***. i've only used this mower for one season! i wish i would have bought a honda. yea i checked the spark plug, made sure the fuel is fresh, cleaned the air filter, and i've been out there yanking that cord for too long. piece of ****. i put some drops of gas in the intake and it fired up but then shut right off. do not buy this mower.

Houston, TX

Bought this in March 2014 to replace my dying 15 year old craftsman mower. Started off great, felt strong. My first self propelled mower and while not amazing, does take a fair amount of effort off of you, which was good enough for me. The bag did allow a bit of dust through it though. My yard is not large and I typically mow twice a month depending on how much rain we get. By early September (so roughly the 10th mow or so), during a typical mow, suddenly a lot of noise is coming from this thing. Made sure I didn't run over anything odd (the grass was a bit deep), checked the oil, and made sure the blade was still attached. All ok, however now the pull start is now jammed and that was it for this machine. Took it back to Sears under manufacturer warranty no problem. A week later I'm told the engine threw a rod due to lack of oil and destroyed the engine. I've gone a full year in the past without checking oil and I've never known a mower to use all of it's oil after 10 uses...besides, once I shut it down the oil level was checked and it was fine. They say user neglect and will not honor the warranty. $273 to repair a $300 mower that from my view will have the same problem in 6 months. I thought Craftsman products were some of the highest quality items you could buy. Sears used to stand behind everything they sold, especially their own brand. They must be in bad financial shape if they are finding ways to not honor warranties on their faulty products. My only rationale is that at least the cost of this mower was the same as if I had paid a service to cut my grass all summer. Don't spend any extra $$ on their extended warranty (I didn't)...they'll just find a way to blame it on you and you will be out of that much more money. This was my last major purchase at Sears, I'll be going to Big Orange or Big Blue.

I had a Craftsman lawn mower for 14 years, but it stopped working just last month. Naturally, I got this new one from Sears for replacement. Overall, it is pretty good and I am happy with it. It was easy to put together and started with an easy pull the first time. However, I noticed few things that are just not as good as the old one. First of all, the gas cap is much less secure. Secondly, the bag is much cheaper quality.

'Our model of development is carbon intensive'
There might not be any end to the debate on how to develop without harming the environment, but an environmental journalist and author feels the problem lies in our "development model that alienates locals perspective and is carbon intensive".
"There is something wrong with our model of development that is so carbon intensive, and doesn't take into account how local people feel about natural resources," Bahar Dutt told IANS.
An environment journalist, Dutt has compiled an account of her work assignments in a book "Green Wars" (Harper Collins; Rs.299) that talks about development in different parts of the country, and how this aimless deforestation is destructing serene environment and displacing many people.
One of the chapters of the book highlights how in 2006, the then chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mulayam Singh Yadav, proposed a plan to build a state-of-art airport at his ancestral Safai village in Etawah district.
This "development" meant a death warrant for sarus cranes of India, who have made these vast wetlands their homes. So when Dutt got a wiff of his fancy, she questioned him on abandoning the non-migratory crane's natural habitat.
He got furious and refused to answer, but when her CNN-IBM news channel spoke of the issue, Yadav had no other option but to drop the project.
The tit-bits of this "investigative-environment reportage" is what the book is all about.
"The book looks at areas of conflict, for instance in the northeast where over 100 dams are slated for construction in a biodiversity hotspot, or areas like Goa where people have waged a war against mining," she said.
"Everyone says that mining or dams will bring development to a region, but by that logic Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand should have been our most rich states," she said.
Dutt feels development models sustain lifestyle of the riches, and hardly do anything for the development of the area of the poor.
"I wish our development models were for our population or the poor. But what I have tried to highlighted is that more dams, roads and mining projects are being used to sustain the lifestyles of the rich in our cities," she said.
"If they were meant for the poor, then that would still be less of a problem. Oddly enough we develop coal power plants for the rich and want the poor to turn to renewable sources of energy such as solar," she concluded.

A word from 1760
What does modern, ingredient-driven mean? It's a different approach to dining and drinking that arose from the way we like to eat. When we go out, we like to try many things, and often we will order an assortment of dishes for the table so we can all taste as much as possible. We get excited when we experience different approaches to food and different styles of drinks. The central theme to our quest; enjoy high quality ingredients that have been skillfully handled to allow the intrinsic quality, flavors, and textures to be expressed. Above all, it is our goal to offer all things delicious.Continued

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/22/2014I took my husband there for his birthday and we were very impressed with the food presentation. We order 5 different dishes, they were all unique and delicious. We will definitely be going back to 1760 to try more dishes and cocktails.Special Features:
- Great EatsMissingChicagoVIPDined on 10/22/2014Wonderfully presented dishes, and very good. From simple to complex preparations- great for sharing, and tasting many things on the menu as so many good things to choose from.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Intro to creative tasteHungry2eatVIPDined on 10/19/2014Get ready to open your mouth to a creative tastie food experience. The combinations will make you want to come back. It's so nice to not get stuck eating just one dish, but getting to taste all that a restraunt has to offer. The lobster cievchie is a highlight, and the ginger pear cocktail will give you a nice introduction to what the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1760 is more than a numberSierraJPDined on 10/18/2014First off, I love restaurants that have a name which is a street address. Just makes it easier to find, especially if it matches the actual address. On entry, 1760 is modern, cool, yet comfortable. An open, brightly lit kitchen is a nice contrast to the darker dining and bar areas. 1760 definitely skews younger, but not uncomfortably so. (Yes, I'm "older".) Staff are warm, friendly and knowledgeable about cuisine. Immediately, you are told that plates are meant to be shared. If that gives you control issues, then go elsewhere. For foodies who love to taste everything; understanding that eating is a social engagement, it's heaven. The kitchen delivers flavors that are well balanced, vibrant and fresh with nice edges. Desserts, well ... wow!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1760OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/16/2014The cocktails, food, and service were all very good. My only complaint is the pricing. Our server explained to us that the food was arranged on the menu by portion size (small to large). However, there was not a huge difference in serving size between the Lobster Ceviche & BBQ Pork Belly. They recommend ordering 4-5 plates for 2 people which ended up being ridiculously expensive. The desserts were interesting in appearance, but underwhelming in taste. The cocktails were amazing and the service very good. The hostess was a little strange. She wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming. Not sure if I will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Service & Food (little)happycamperDined on 10/11/2014Food was EXQUISITE, tasty, creative and work of art. I LOVED the combinations of flavors and textures. Service was EXCELLENT, awesome, attentive, informative and COOL! However, portions were just too SMALL for me (170 pounds, organic health conscious eater). I understand that it is Tapas, so I should know better. I have to admit I am a bit on the frugal side so expected to be filled up after ordering 2 plates per person (plus several drinks and 3 appetizers to split) in a Group of 4. Regardless, still salivating when I think of the Hamachi or Corn or Octopus plates, paired with tequila special drink. I recommend, but probably just to my foodie and/or rich friends ;)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great service, noisyEatsoutalotDined on 10/4/2014Very knowledgeable waiter, interesting drinks. Unique and delicious food items. It would be helpful to indicate how big the servings are, so ordering would be easier. Turn the music down so folks can talk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic All AroundOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/2/2014We had a great experience and are very excited to have such an amazing spot in our neighborhood. Every dish we had was thoughtfully composed and executed well. Service was superb, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our server was great (unfortunately I forgot his name). He helped us work through the menu and offered great suggestions on both food and beverage. One of the charming food runners, Julio, also helped to make our experience very special. Decor and ambiance are energetic and fun, yet the space is still tranquil enough to be conversation friendly. We can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Delicious & expensiveJFNYCDined on 10/1/2014The food was really delicious - many small impactful plates, but each was so expensive. Will go back more sparingly... 4 appetizers totals about $100 checkSpecial Features:
- Phenomenal dinning delightZeusDined on 9/29/2014From speciality cocktails to unique dinning creations, the experience was impressive. Our waiter was an engaging tour guide, knowledgeable in both drinks, main dishes through desserts. Each course was an unexpected creation full of flavor, texture, and culinary art. This establishment earns all of its stars. Even the bathrooms are thoughtfully considered as part of the entire experience. We've flagged it as a new favorite. Excited to explore the menu as it evolves seasonally.Special Features:
- Food amazing / service not so muchAbbeVIPDined on 9/26/2014If you don't care about a waiter being attentive or the welcome being a bit cold and arrogant, you'll love the food here. Excellent dishes, prepared perfectly. Nice wine list as well. The food made up for the lack of service and friendliness.Special Features:
- Delicious!TamaraDined on 9/25/2014We were pleasantly surprised with our experience at 1760. The small plates were perfectly coursed by our server, and every single one was delicious- which is hard to achieve when you order as much food as we did! I also appreciated the creativity that went into each dish, including the desserts. The cocktails were inventive and well balanced, and the wine list offered some really nice low priced options. All in all an excellent experience!Special Features:
- Fantastic food and serviceSunhomeVDined on 9/23/2014Been here twice, definitely going back. Great drinks, food and service. You have to order their duck burger, it is amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceeded expectations!ktjimmyDined on 9/21/2014My friends and I had dinner here while visiting San Francisco for a wedding. I left a note on our reservation that we were celebrating a wedding, a birthday, and that one of the grooms/birthday boy had an egg allergy. Our server was absolutely amazing in all ways, but gave special attention to all of the notes I provided - advising for our against certain menu items due to the allergy, congratulating the couple, and sending over a special dessert. The food was all amazing, but we especially loved the ribs and the ravioli. I will go back every time I return to San Francisco. Thank you for an amazing evening!Special Features:
- Bold Flavors & Variety!russianhillfoodieDined on 9/21/2014I was with a group of 5 who were down to try anything... we shared about 7 dishes. I have been to the restaurant before but didn't get to try quite as many dishes as I did this time. Top of my list: the whole roasted chicken! Unbelievable moist and tender with a ton of flavor. Also notable were the octopus and pork belly. Cannot say enough! Absolutely delicious all around and wonderful service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unusual small platesHIlaryDined on 9/21/2014Very interesting food, but with some exceptions, the small plates were REALLY small. The ribs were excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentNJSFguyVIPDined on 9/16/2014Came here after reading a review. Can't wait to come back! Excellent food, great service and the interior is cool. Best new restaurant this side of Market St.Special Features:
- Not sure I'd go backOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014The ambiance wasn't as cozy as I expected and the wasn't the best for the price. There were a lot of heavy sauces that seemed to be covering up what could have been good flavor. The Hamachi Crudo was amazingly small and drenched in sauce, the pasta was more like gnocchi and tasted like it was from a can.Special Features:
- Always InvitnglovefoodDined on 9/5/2014Been there a couple times now since it opened and never a disappointment. The food is always great and done well, served perfectly and a center piece of conversation. It is one of the places I recommend to people who are visiting the city. The service is fabulous and attentive without being intrusive.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 9/4/2014Food was excellent - very disturbing and rude occurrence upon arrival - Reservations were for 5 - Arrived at 5 - hostess saw us - waited until 5:07 - unlocked the door and went back to her hostess desk. We were stunned at how rude this was - we opened the door and entered - she made no acknowledgement - told her of our reservation - she handed two menus to a server and that was how we were greeted. I have eaten at the restaurant before and came based on that experience. Would think twice before going back based on this experience - not a way to start an evening or birthday celebration.Special Features:
- outstandingletthemeatcakeDined on 9/2/2014food was amazing. service was excellent and friendly. great place to take anyone especially out of towners. something on the menu for everyone too. each dish was unbelievable in its own right. a place to splurge.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and WineOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/18/2014First time in a long time dinning out where every guest at the table loved every dish. We have been here a few times and its been as great every time. Service is just right. Also, the best 2 page wine list you will find anywhere for any occasion. Bravo 1760 and team!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/15/2014Loved everything about it and the food was stellar!Special Features:
- Good but certainly not greateaterincDined on 8/14/2014The food was innovative and creative but it did not really impress me in a way that I would want to go back again and again...seems like they're still trying to figure out their niche. Some dishes need more thought and refinement...When you're associated with Acquerello, the expectations are sky high, but 1760 has not met that standard and has more work to do...Special Features:
- Good food, slow servicelkeepDined on 8/11/2014The food itself was very good, but felt extremely overpriced. The roast chicken was one of the better I've had, but I don't know that it was worth the $42 price tag. The service, especially for drinks, was horribly slow, though all the wait staff was friendly. The waiter first encouraged us to order 2-3 dishes per person. We ordered 6 total for a table of 4 and had leftovers (which we never received).Special Features:
- 1760 recommendedDJat420Dined on 8/8/2014The food was great, delivered in a timely manner. The wait staff was appropriately attentive. We were there early for an enjoyable evening, and plan to return for other special occasions.Special Features:
- Great food, nice billmccalmoVIPDined on 8/5/20141760 has outstanding food in a small plates format (the full roasted chicken being an exception to that). We really loved our sequence of 5 dishes -- all were delightful -- and we had a couple of lovely glasses of wine as well. The place can get a bit loud. There was a brief moment when it was really loud, but for most of the evening it was simply lively. And not expensive. Great eats, good value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a lovely surprisegastrotravelerDined on 8/4/2014This is farm-to-table done well! All of the dishes were beautifully composed with layers of flavor. That alone is not difficult to find in the Bay area. The difference here is that the freshness of the ingredients is the vehicle that drives those flavors, not a thick sauce or contrived "pairing" with something heavy. We agreed to return until we have worked our way through the entire menu but to always include the dungeness crab!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- another solid experience at 1760winstonChurchillDined on 8/3/2014This is about my third time here and while they've never disappointed this menu was the best so far. We had the burrata, fingerling potatoes, and whole roasted chicken (which were all awesome). Also had a great couple of desserts in the chocolate ganache and and strawberry basil shortcake. Service was a bit spotty. drinks took about 15 minutes to come from the bar even though we had a 6pm reservation and the place wasn't that full at the time. When dinner came around almost all tables were filled and they forgot to bring the potatoes until the main dish (chicken) came and we had to ask but they corrected it quickly. It also took a bit longer than I would have liked for the check to come.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Me2014Dined on 8/2/2014Great food, great cocktail list. A bit noisy. I would say prices are high for what you get.Special Features:
- Food a little disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/2/2014I love Acquerello was amazing. And although I was completely aware that this is it's own restaurant, I expected to enjoy my food more. The only thing that I would order again of 6 things would be the octopus. I really liked the energy and feel of the place me the service was good.Special Features:
- DeliciouspaisleyDined on 7/31/2014Went to 1760 for a small party birthday dinner. Every dish was to die for... Would highly recommend coming here on a date.Special Features:
- Amazing.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/31/2014Phenomenally delicious food paired with truly amazing service. SO GOOD. The duck burger is THE BEST: comes topped with an unexpected, tasty cole slaw. Everything on the menu is a hit. All the cocktails are great. The staff is so helpful, patient, prompt, and friendly. Perfect for lovers of gourmet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Next Michelin Star in SF. Word.CWL421VIPDined on 7/30/2014I've dined here four times and loved everything I've had. The menu is dynamic in that not only are the overall dishes changing regularly, but they are fine tuning them from day to day depending on what ingredients they have available. Hauntingly good dishes are the Lobster Ceviche, the Uni/Caviar, and the Hamachi Crudo served by Chef Ben Stephens; and the Intermezzo, Strawberry & Cream Bavarian and the Milk Chocolate Ganache served by Chef Ricardo Menicucci. Gianpaolo Paterlini (of Acquerello fame) & Andrew Cox maintain an extremely underpriced and accessible wine list with lots of good finds. The half bottle Champagne selection is one of the best I've seen. They can speak the language of wine at anyone's level.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- trendy but goodgoodfoodVIPDined on 7/30/2014the food was good for sure but I'm not sure that it was great...of our 6 courses the kale lollipops and the corn raviolis were terrific and frankly the ribs were probably the best I've ever had, truly. BUT the $4 bread was ridiculous, the hamachi disappointing and sadly I cant recall the other thing we ate so we're just at 50/50 here...they brought the courses out too quickly and got a snotty when we mentioned it...no room left on the table should be an indication. Anyway, the drinks menu was super innovative and quirky and I like that so they get high marks for risk taking there...nice selction of beer and wine so the bar is surely worth a visit. ..I regret not trying the octopus, it looked amazing...would have tipped the scales.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Small plates done right.JustinVIPDined on 7/19/2014Right on Polk street, and really busy. Although not inaccessible; we were able to grab a spot at the community table. 1760 serves small plates (tapas), which are usually a pain - expensive, not filling. But 1760 does it right. Their plates are robust, yet extremely well executed. My wife and I both loved it, which is rare for us. The The Shikate (spelling) Peppers and the Duck Burger were unbelievable! The bar was proper. Unbelievable specialty & old-fashioned cocktails.Special Features:
- Great food but expensive wineOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/14/2014Food is great. Well presented all delicious. Portions are small and they did recommend 6 dishes for 3 of us. Service was great and we were not rushed to leave once we finished. Wine list was all very expensive. I recommend popping here for food and going to Amelie next door for wine before or after.Special Features:
- Eating experienceHappy2Dined on 7/14/2014Very welcoming and accommodating staff. Explained the dishes well, unusual choices of food, amazing wine list. A group of five who were quickly accommodated when our booking was made for four. Fun evening in an unusual setting, paking was easy, overall great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!sfo2bcnVIPDined on 7/11/2014The food was fantastic! Our group tried almost everything on the menu. We absolutely loved the fingerling potatoes and the fried duck sandwich. It is tapas style and the some of portions are small (the hamachi dish was delicious but the portion was almost a joke for the price). The drinks were very tasty as well (but the itty bitty tiny glasses were kind of funny). Overall, I would recommend 1760 to anyone who wants an an adventure in taste in a fun hip atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Flavors fell flatRB10Dined on 7/11/2014I live in the neighborhood and was excited to try 1760. I was hoping it would become one of my new go-to spots. However, I was disappointed with my meal and the service, although the wine (a bottle of syrah) was excellent. I ordered the baby artichokes and corn ravioli, and my friend ordered the duck sandwich. Both the baby artichokes and corn ravioli fell flat on flavor, while my friend said the slaw on the duck sandwich was so overpowering she could barely taste the duck. Our server made us feel rushed into ordering and then was no where to be found when we wanted the check I would come back to try some of their cocktails.Special Features:

Working in the field of human-animal communication, Isabel Duncan, a research scientist at the Great Ape Language Lab, develops a close relationship with her study group of bonobo apes. An explosion wrecks the research lab, causing her serious injury and leaving the apes vulnerable to exploitation and mistreatment. Amidst the tension and humour related in the quest for their safe recovery, Gruen exposes the true horror of the abuse of research animals.
I wish I could say this book was great, and I had kind-of high hopes because of the unique plot but unfortunately that wasn't enough to save it for me and make me really like it. The transitions between scenes were not done well at all and there seemed to be too many sub-plot random events that had nothing to do with the overall plot and it really distracted away from it. I just know Gruen could have been done so much better.
I was reluctant to read this book even though it came highly recommended; the story just did not sound appealing at all. Also, I was not a fan of the author's other book "Water For Elephants" Well, turns out Ape House is a very good book after all. The characters are believable and the premise is quite unique. It also had a fair share of suspense thrown in for good measure.
AMAZING NOVEL! I admit I was a bit hesitant to read it at first but I absolutely loved the book! JUSTICE was definitely SERVED! It was very touching to read about Isabel's undying devotion, love and care to the bonobos. It pained me to think though that such animal cruelty described in the book can possibly exist in the real world.With people like Isabel, I hope to see those animals facing these kind of circumstances will be soon safe and greatly cared for. Anyways, by the end of the book, I came to love each and everyone of the bonobos.
I didn't know what to expect from this novel, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was plot-driven and entertaining. The author's description of Amanda's struggle to find success as a writer on her own terms made me wonder whether she was drawing from her own experience. Good bedtime reading.
Almost as good as Water for Elephants, but the bonobos are wonderful.
Great light read! Read it in a couple of days and found myself excited to go home to read it!
Very different from Water for Elephants. Interesting idea but the story is not as captivating. i was very intrigued with the apes. However, it is not from their perspective as I was led to believe.Still worth reading.
I enjoyed this story very much. The relationship between John the reporter and his wife Amanda is refreshing. They are close and through all the mayhem in their lives they remain close. The bonobos are presented with genuine characters and shown in all their playfulness. Life for them is all in the moment - a lesson in there for us maybe. The build-up to the conclusion led me to expect a bit more in terms of the fleshing out and tying up of loose ends. It almost felt as if Gruen had come to the end of her 300 pages and ran out of steam. This is not the high drama of "Water for Elephants" but it is a good read.
Very good story. Fascinating topic with well researched background information. Also a well paced, interesting plot.

Paul Bettany and The Vision should be a major component of the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward, particularly as we continue to learn his connections to Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and the murderous Ultron (James Spader).
The actor never really broke out into the mainstream sadly, and its doubtful a role like this will help: as the clip above shows, hes got much too much good humor and charm to be stuck playing a machine.
You may not know it, but Paul Bettany has actually been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the very beginning. Back in 2008, director Jon Favreau cast the British star to be the voice of Jarvis, Tony Stark's digital butler, in the first Iron Man movie, and since then he has reprised the role in Iron Man 2, The Avengers and Iron Man 3.
Unfortunately, if you're looking for more details about the project you're just a bit out of luck. It would seem that Bettany wants to keep any and all details about the film a secret for now, including a plot description. The actor cum director wrote the screenplay himself, but we don't even know what genre it falls into since the trade simply describes the movie as an "indie feature."
Having voiced Jarvis in both Iron Man films as well as The Avengers, Paul Bettany already has quite a bit of experience working with the idea of intelligent technology, but now he's set to take it to a whole new level.
He may not play a role as big as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, or Chris Hemsworth, but Paul Bettany is certainly a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and The Avengers he provides the voice of Jarvis, Tony Stark's digital assistant, and while fans may love the part, apparently the actor feels zero connection to it at all- to the point where he hasn't even bothered to see the first two movies.
While J.C. Chandors script certainly resonated with Zachary Quinto and his team at Before the Door when they first took it on and still when they shot the film about a year and a half ago, it was a bit up in the air in terms of whether or not Margin Call would still be relevant when it finally hit theaters. Well, the time has come and courtesy of Occupy Wall Street, not only was Quintos first instinct justified, but now hes got one of the timeliest films possible.
Bettany has spent more time chasing strange CGI creatures over the last few years, starring in the seemingly identical Priest and Legion, and it would be great to see Bettany return to the kind of prestigious work he was doing in the early 00s with a musical that's bound to get a ton of attention
When crafting a movie trailer, the idea is to provide wide audiences with a better sense of the entire movie condensed down to two-and-a-half minutes. For a movie like Priest, this is usually accomplished by splicing scenes together in a montage format- action scene here, cool line of dialogue there, big explosion and title card. The new trailer for the comic book adaptation, however, takes a different tact.
Priest is set to come out on May 13th, but unlike many summer action films set to be released after it that have been getting plenty of build-up, such as Captain America: The First Avenger, X-Men: First Class and Cars 2, the buzz and marketing have been practically non-existent (for reference it's been nearly two months since the Super Bowl, the last time we heard anything about it).
He played Charles Darwin. Hes been a rebellious angel. Now for the third entry in his get hit by lightning trilogy Paul Bettany steps back on screen as a murderous Priest in a dystopian future
Usually when an international trailer is released we wind up seeing some extra footage that for some reason wasnt shown to American audiences, but the opposite is happening with new trailer for Priest
In the midst of this year's Comic Con, the first trailer for Priest, starring Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Stephen Moyer and Maggie Q, came online. The same footage that was shown during the Hall H
The trailer features a lot of random shots of guys posing with guns, throwing edged weapons, or riding on motorbikes. In what is surely the most ridiculously idiotic thing ever
Paul Bettany has played a traitor Angel and Charles Darwin. He hasnt been hit by lightning yet, so might as well keep going. In Priest hell play a man of the clothe who takes up vampire hunting

Linklaters' former corporate head takes role at BLP
Readers' comments (7)
'Defects to....' ? '26 years as partner.....?'
Come on, let's be frank about this. He had a good innings at the top of the Linklaters' lock step and he has now had his collar felt in the nicest of ways by mein fuhrer Simon Davies.
Very good and experienced lawyer and he is a nice get for BLP.
Another one to get a wapping guarantee from us for a few years...
It's all very well bringing this guy in but it doesn't mean that his clients will follow. After all, our corporate department is something like band 13 in Chambers, isn't it...?
Don't see how this guy will have any real hunger beyond the (no doubt) guaranteed big pay day at the end of it.
strange hiring strategy.
Why can't these partners just retire gracefully? After 26 years as a Partner at Linklaters, you have nothing left to prove and you cannot need the money or the hassle. Just enjoy retirement and if you are desperate to work, go and do something in the public interest/charity field.
^ Because BLP will be giving him one last massive pay day to fund that extra yacht for said retirement. What else could be in it for him?
Doesn't reflect well on BLP at all. You don't become a more prestigious corporate firm by hiring retirees from the corporate firms above you. They'd be better off hiring ambitious, hungry corporate partners from smaller firms with something to prove.
they can't retire gracefully - snout - trough - it is their thing - who on earth will instruct him is questionable - there are younger partners around who actually do some work and frankly we clients are sick of the troughers. Bad move for all law firms taking up the old magic circle slack as they just gad about telling everyone how great they are and never put a pen to paper. When will this model be disbanded? It is a joke and most people (except the partners) are totally over it

Do You Stock the Fridge for Family When You Leave Town?
We're out of town this weekend, but we left a culinarily challenged husband at home. When this happens, we try to leave a few dishes in the refrigerator that taste fine warmed up (and cost less than takeout). Do you cook for loved ones before you skip town?
We made a simple pasta dish with crumbled sausage and roasted broccoli that can be dinner one night and lunch another day. It keeps well and tastes good heated up in the microwave.
Usually, we'll also have a couple of breakfast items on hand and some snacks lying around. Maybe some good cheese or a quick dip.
Of course, he's a grown man who is certainly capable of going to the store. But we're definitely the cook in the house, so his homemade options are limited.
We're curious what go-to dishes you make and store for family members when you leave town. Do you have standbys that keep and reheat well? Any standard snacks you leave for the kids?

Since my fridge & freezer are almost always stocked, it's not an issue. I try to make sure we have something quick & easy to prepare when we all go away & come back in the evening, too tired to really cook. And try to remember to pick up milk on the way back for the coffee in the am!
I wouldn't deliberately fill the refrigerator with food for him, but there's usually a variety of leftovers in there.
ill usually make something for my boyfriend when i leave and make sure we go to the store before too... I take pity on him since he works late and only lives here because I do, in a very public transportation unfriendly place without a drivers license, so trips to the store are a big inconvenience by bus (2 bus rides, 45 min. vrs 10 min by car)
One other thing I have done is leave him a simple crockpot recipe he can just throw together for something fresh cooked after a few days. although usually its all canned or dry and frozen goods so im not sure if its "fresh" but you get the idea
Although my husband is a chef as well, I leave lots of food when I travel so that our 12 year old son has continuity and ready meals. I usually leave mac and cheese in the fridge ready for the oven as well as lots of snacks. The kid is bottomless!
Here's my mac and cheese recipe - it's comforting and reminds my son of me so I can't not leave it when I travel!
I've been known to leave behind breaded chicken cutlets, lasagna, fried cauliflower with Farfalla pasta, things that keep well in the fridge and are easily warmed in the microwave or fine cold.
Definitely. Last summer I was out of town every other week. I was gone half the time. I was staying in a rented home while away but too tired to cook after long days. So before I would leave home I'd cook food, divide it and freeze his and her portions so that we would be eating the same meals on most nights even though we were away from each other.
My husband can be lazy in the kitchen and I cut him slack for this. It is easy for me and he appreciates it. I try to make sure there is are at least homemade waffles frozen in the freezer and a pot of stew or beans for dinner when I travel now.
Yep! I always cook a lot of soups/stews and casseroles, and portion them in quart-size Ziploc bags and freeze them. I also keep tamales, prebaked quiches, and prebaked potpies in the freezer for my boyfriend to heat up for himself while I'm away.
nope, husband can fend for himself (or try).
I was out of town last weekend and left the following for my husband: leftover spaghetti sauce, ingredients for breakfast tacos, ingredients for hamburgers, and ingredients for chicken fajitas. That's about the limit of his cooking ability, and he did very well not ordering take-out!
I never used to as like the others have stated, my huband and I are both of the cooks in the household and a grownup can fend for themselves. But now that we have a toddler at home, making things easy for BOTH of them is my top priority. Usually, its Trader Joes prepared items all the way.
My fella can cook well, but doesn't as often as I do. I'm out of town right now, and I left him with a pot of soup, a melon, some nuts, dried fruit, and bananas. He'll make up the rest himself.
This is one of those posts that really shouldn't use "we" so much.
I always try to leave things that can be packed in the lunchbox or warmed up for supper so my husband doesn't have to waste time cooking (he works long hours). But he'll eat the weirdest things cold: enchiladas, lasagna, baked ziti. Our shared favorite for "he/she-is-out-of-town leftovers" is Garbanzos Guisado:
Excellent hot and the sauce improves with a few nights in the fridge. Somehow, no matter how many meals in a row we've had it (makes a bit pot for just two!) we never get tired of it.
After once coming home from a long weekend and finding just empty tins of beans and cereal bowls in the sink, I always make sure to keep the boy well stocked whenever I take off. Salad mix, spaghetti, usually a treat like ice cream (for those nights when he needs comfort food from missing me--ha!)...the frustrating thing is coming home and seeing empty tins of beans and cereal bowls in the sink, with the salad mix untouched!
