Laugh Along With Darclays "Ongoing Commitment To Transparency" Presentation To ClientsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/26/2014 13:16 -0500
Now that any credibility Barclays, pardon Darklays, may have had in the capital markets has drowned at the bottom of its (soon to be shuttered) dark pool, it is time to start making fun of the bank. To do that we bring our readers the British bank's "Ongoing Commitment to Transparency", and specifiically the "Equities Electronic Order Handling." Curiously, nowhere in said book does it say that the bank will route the vast majority of its trades to the most lucrative predatory HFT algos lurking deep in the bowels of LX, which incidentally is co-located in the Savvis NJ2 Data Center in Weehawken, New Jersey, may it rest in piece now that nobody on the buyside will ever use it again. What it does report are the following creative lies, which we reveal to the general public because after all remember: the biggest defense the HFT lobby makes is that "whatever HFT does it never hurt retail investors." We will let retail investors decide for themselves.

"The Gap Between Those With Money & Those With Knowledge Has Grown Catastrophic"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/25/2014 20:45 -0500
"The one unlimited resource we have on the planet is the human brain – the current strategy of 1% capitalism is failing because it is killing the Golden Goose at multiple levels. Unfortunately, the gap between those with money and power and those who actually know what they are talking about has grown catastrophic. The rich are surrounded by sycophants and pretenders whose continued employment demands that they not question the premises."

Politicians For Sale? There's An App For ThatSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/24/2014 08:50 -0500
We have not been shy about exposing the dark shadowy under-belly of lobbyists funding politicians (as most recently noted with Cantor's catastrophe) but now, as Engadget reports, finding out which representatives are in the pocket without a lot of tedious research just got a lot easier. A 16-year-old programmer has developed a browser plugin - Greenhouse - that, when you mouse-over the name of a US lawmaker, will serve up a list of which parties have donated to their campaign funds, and the quantities. Better than flappy-birds? The developer notes, "whether Democrat or Republican, we should all want a political system that is independent of the influence of big money and not dependent on endless cycles of fundraising from special interests."

Germany Still Wants Gold Back – Repatriation Campaign ContinuesSubmitted by GoldCore on 06/24/2014 07:29 -0500
Bloomberg reported yesterday that the German campaign to repatriate German gold from the U.S. has ended. The leader of the German gold repatriation movement, "Repatriate our Gold," Peter Boehringer immediately refuted the article and posted in the comment section at the bottom of the article … The campaign to achieve a free market in gold and silver prices will continue.

China Builds World's Most Powerful Nuclear Reactor; Regulators "Overwhelmed"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/22/2014 10:27 -0500
We are sure this will end well. Just as China took the 'if we build it (on free credit), they will come' growth model to extremes in real estate; it appears their ambitions in nuclear energy production are just as grandiose. However, just as they lost control of the real estate market, Bloomberg reports China is moving quickly to become the first country to operate the world's most powerful atomic reactor even as France's nuclear regulator says communication and cooperation on safety measures with its Chinese counterparts are lacking. France has a lot riding on a smooth roll out of China's European Pressurized Reactors (EPRs) as it is home to Areva, which developed the next-gen reactor, and utility EdF, which oversees the project. French regulators, speaking in parliament, warned, "the Chinese safety authorities lack means. They are overwhelmed."

The Obama Administration Is Forcing Local Cops To Stay Silent On SurveillanceSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/14/2014 19:12 -0500
The feds are so concerned that more truth about the VA scandal will get out there they have resorted to subpoenas to cover up as much as possible. Of course, considering that the entire Administration, and indeed the entire status quo in America, appears to be essentially a criminal syndicate, there is a naturally an endless stream of abuses that must be concealed from the plebs. One thing that has become entirely clear since the Snowden revelations is the fact that the status quo in both political parties has absolutely zero intent on rolling back unconstitutional surveillance whatsoever. This became completely obvious recently when: Congress Gutted Anti-NSA Spying Bill Beyond Recognition; Original Cosponsor Justin Amash Voted No. Fortunately for those of us interested in transparency, some additional information is starting to come out regarding just how far these crooks are willing to go in order to spy on your every move and conversation.

The World's Five Most Important Oil FieldsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/08/2014 12:38 -0500
Much has been made about the role that hydraulic fracturing – or fracking -- has played in revolutionizing the energy landscape, unlocking vast new reserves of oil trapped in shale rock. This "tight oil" is pouring into the global pool of oil supplies at a crucial time, preventing oil prices from spiking in an age of high demand and geopolitical turmoil. But the world still relies overwhelmingly on conventional oil production from existing fields, many of which are in decline. The Middle East has dominated the world of oil for half a century and as the list below shows, it remains king. Here are the top five most important oil fields in the world.

Eric Holder Announces Task Force To Focus On "Domestic Terrorists"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/03/2014 21:22 -0500
It's been obvious for quite some time that the so-called "war on terror" is nothing more than a fear-mongering induced power grab; a convenient excuse to strip the citizenry of its civil liberties and humanity. Many commentators, including myself, have predicted for years that the entire counter-terror juggernaut that has been constructed post-9/11 would be ultimately redirected upon the domestic population. Snowden's heroic whistleblowing has already proven without a doubt that the government spy apparatus (along with tech company complicity) has been zeroed in on the domestic population for quite some time, but is the situation about to escalate? Are the feds so fearful of their own people, they are about to focus all their counter-terror energy on U.S. citizens? It appears so.

First Germany, Now Austria Demands An Audit Of Its Offshore Held GoldSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/26/2014 22:48 -0500
First it was Germany, now another AAA-rated European country is starting to get concerned about its hard assets. Overnight Bloomberg reported that following in Bundesbank's footsteps, Austria will audit its gold reserves located in the UK, which represent 80% of its total gold holdings. This gold reserve reviews held at Bank of England in London will be first conducted by external auditors, Christian Gutleder, a spokesman for the Austrian central bank, says via telephone. Gutleder explained that the Central bank has checked its reserves regularly in the past, adding that gold reserves haven't changed since 2007. Which begs the question: why check them now then?

The Essential Role Of Volatility, Stress And DissentSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/24/2014 10:44 -0500
The individual or system that never experiences dissent, volatility or stress is systemically unhealthy and increasingly prone to sudden "gosh, I didn't see this coming" collapse. The individual who walks daily (i.e. aerobic exercise) is healthier than the couch potato, but the individual who routinely engages in short bouts of strenuous activity has the added benefits of triggering rebuilding/repair responses. Political economies, government agencies, enterprises and communities are no different, as all systems respond the same way: either growing brittle and vulnerable by suppressing dissent and volatility or maintaining strength, resilience and adaptability by encouraging dissent and volatility. Our centralized government and bank have spared no expense to ruthlessly suppress these essential forces of healthy systems at every turn. The cost of their gross incompetence has yet to be paid, but it will be paid, and in full, in the years ahead.

Portugal's Largest Bank "In Serious Financial Condition" Auditor WarnsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/21/2014 08:37 -0500
One of Portugal's biggest companies - Espirito Santo International SA - is in a "serious financial condition" according to a central bank driven external audit by KPMG identified "irregularities in its accounts." Rather stunningly, the details are nothing short of ponzi-like as WSJ reported in December that Espírito Santo International was highly leveraged and had been relying heavily on selling debt to an investment fund held by the financial group (i.e. funding debt issuance in one entity with another) and overvaluing hard-to-value assets (ring any bells?). However, the 'ponzi-like' maneuver, as WSJ concludes shows that while legal and in line with regulatory rules, highlights how corporations, including banks, used financial gymnastics to survive the region's financial crisis. Given the massive domestic bank demand for sovereign paper, one has to wonder if the sudden 60bps spike in Portuguese bond risk is a signal that all is not well in the European periphery.

Hey, just wondering if there is a reason i am not getting IP for most of my matches. So far, win or lose, i have only gotten IP for one match?
I am having the same issue. I have not received any IP for my last 3 matches
For me the IP in the top corner just doesn't refresh. If i try to buy something in the shop or logout and back in it updates and I see my real IP value.

Utah coach suspends 50 players for bullying
(KUTV) Fifty football players on a Roosevelt high school team are trying to earn back their jerseys after their coaches suspended them for misbehaving and getting bad grades.
Head coach Matt Labrum, along with other staff and administrators, asked all upperclassmen on the team to hand over their uniforms after losing a game on Friday so that they could focus on "building character," just a week before an important homecoming game.
"We hate to lose," Labrum said, "but we all felt that the biggest lessons that we learned through football were about how to be good men."
Instead of practice, Labrum had the boys do community service, cleaning up the grounds of the junior high school and volunteering their time at local senior centers. They also have to spend study periods actually studying.
"Being pulled off the team was a horrible feeling for all of us," said team co-captain Jordan Gurr, who was upset at first, but now fully supports the coach's' call. "Absolutely one of the best decisions that could've been made."
A guidance counselor informed the athletic department that football players were believed to be cyber bullying another student. Jordan's co-captain, Gavin Nielsen, a running back on the team, said he heard that the kids used an anonymous user name online to tell another boy to kill himself. Nielsen, the school principal's son, agreed with Coach Labrum's call.

World stocks rise on Greece hopes, euro above lows
LONDON (Reuters) - World stocks hit a fresh 6-1/2 month peak on Friday, the dollar jumped to a 3-1/2 month high against the yen and the euro held above recent lows as hopes Greece will seal a long-awaited bailout deal next week fuelled risk appetite.
A strong sentiment boost from Thursday's upbeat U.S. jobs and factory activity data also carried over into European trade.
Italian and Spanish government bond yields fell while oil rose broadly as investors anticipated Greece will move closer to averting a disorderly default.
The country expects to get approval on Monday from euro zone finance ministers to begin a debt swap with private bondholders, a spokesman for the Greek government said.
"The market is remaining strong because of the reasonable news out of Greece, but generally investors are only trading for the short term," Mark Foulds, head of equity sales at ETX Capital, said.
The MSCI world equity index .MIWD00000PUS rose 0.6 percent to its highest since August, while European stocks rose nearly half a percent to hit a 6-1/2 month high.
Emerging stocks added more than 1 percent.
The euro was little changed at $1.3130, but holding well above the three-week trough of around $1.2973 hit on Thursday. The dollar rose as high as 79.17 yen and was little changed against a basket of major currencies.
"The selloff in the yen is down to a combination of a more buoyant mood in equities and the determination of the Japanese authorities to weaken the currency by injecting more money into the economy," said Michael Derks, chief strategist at FXPro.
"It would be a surprise though if we saw much more yen weakness as we could see a flood of yen purchases in March as Japanese year-end approaches."
In a surprise move on Tuesday, the Bank of Japan boosted asset purchases and set an inflation goal of 1 percent, in a more aggressive monetary policy to pull the ailing economy out of deflation.
Italian 10-year government bond yields fell 11 basis points at one point to 5.60 percent, tightening the spread over German Bunds to 369 bps. Equivalent Spanish yields fell 10 bps to 5.27 percent.
Bund futures fell 34 ticks.
Euro zone officials said on Thursday they were putting the finishing touches to Greece's bailout for approval on Monday, which means Athens would finally be able to proceed with a bond swap with private creditors aiming to cut its debts by 100 billion euros.
The bailout money will be disbursed only after the debt restructuring takes place. Jitters remain due to the tight schedule, with Greece needing to secure the funds before March 20, when it needs to pay back debt worth 14.5 billion euros.
U.S. stock futures were broadly steady after the S&P 500 index .SPX jumped to a new nine-month peak on Thursday after U.S. labour, manufacturing and housing data suggested the recovery continued at a steady pace.
The CBOE Volatility index .VIX, Wall Street's gauge of market nervousness, dropped 8.7 percent on Thursday, its biggest decline since Dec 9.
Brent crude oil rose 0.2 percent to $120.38 per barrel, having risen nearly 8.5 percent so far this month, supported by supply concerns as European buyers sought alternatives to sanctions-hit Iranian oil.

Shawn Chrystopher - Can't Take That From Me
Artist: Shawn Chrystopher
Producer: Cameron Wallace
Album: The Audition EP
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 19 votes )
Fresh off the release of Booth-premiered, reader-acclaimed leak Like a Kid Again, house favorite Shawn Chrystopher is back to remind fans and haters alike that, at the end of the day, he's simply looking out for numero uno – in his own words: "I did this sh*t for me, and you Can't Take That From Me." Be that as it may, the Inglewood native comes with rhymes that just about anyone should be able to appreciate, especially those who enjoy playing spot-the-allusion – Home Alone, Gullah Gullah Island, I Love Lucy and The Matrix are just a few of the many pop-cultural touchstones Chrystopher references over Cameron Wallace's sparse, simmering synth instrumental. Not to mention, he drops the line "I won't stop like a sentence with three commas," which, as a guy who rarely writes a sentence with fewer than three commas, I found sort of hilarious. Anyway, it's crystal clear that Shawn Chrystopher's self-interest is listeners' gain. For more evidence, check out the rising star's latest EP, The Audition, when it hits the 'net March 23.

Based on the 1978 novel "La Mort de Monsieur Golouja" and the 1997 film starring Christian Slater, Julian Po is one of the featured productions in 2013's New York Musical Theatre Festival. With book and lyrics by Andrew Barrett and music by Ira Antelis, the darkly comic story charts the course of the disillusioned titular character (played by Chad Kimball) intent upon ending his life. In this exclusive video, Kimball, Barret, director Kirsten Sanderson and cast members Luba Mason
and Malcolm Gets
sat down with Playbill to chat about how the current iteration of the show (which has been seen at the ASCAP/Disney Musical Theater Workshop and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, amongst others) came to be. For more about NYMF, read the Playbill story.

Aperto reviews from OpenTable diners

neighborhood gem (1)Show More
- sugarpieDined on 11/24/2014This is one of our favorite restaurants for lunch. The food is consistently delicious. It feels like food cooked with love. We would highly recommend Apertos but do make a reservation as space is limited.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very nice first timeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/23/2014had not been there. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the entire neighborhood scene. Would love to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice food, excellent serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/22/2014The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful at every step, including suggesting ways we could pay less for what we were ordering. We all ordered something different, we all enjoyed our brunch and would be happy to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cold and amateur serviceBebotDined on 11/20/2014The food was very good but the the service was lacking. They were not very attentive to my group and the restaurant was fairly empty only 10 dinners. Felt I had to ask for basic items. Would go back for the food one issue, they no longer heat the bread a bummer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchdrsissyDined on 11/16/2014I was given a gift certificate for Aperto and used it with a friend before a matinee concert. It decided to try Opentable. Discovered it wasn't necessary. I was asked if I had a reservation but not asked who I was. It is a very small space especially with the amount of children and parents blocking tables with strollers. We were more pointed in a direction than seated. I had to move the table and try to get the woman to move her stroller twice with no help from the staff. We never received a full table set. I never received a spoon, the waitress actually watched me stir my coffee with the handle of my knife and did not bring me a spoon. My water glass was chronically empty and it took 4 requests for cream to get some, from 2 different people. The food was not impressive. I thought it lacked real vegetables and fruit and $4 for 1 mild Italian sausage seems extreme. The honey wheat pancakes were good. The coffee was good but strong for my taste, and I would have preferred to been asked before my coffee cup was refilled, since I don't normally drink coffee. I would have also liked to know about the dessert prior to ordering because I would have ordered differently. I won't be back and I'm very happy I didn't spend my money on this.Special Features:
- Worth the Taxi FarecrEATeDined on 11/7/2014Aperto was recommended to us by a seat-partner on our plane trip to San Francisco ... little did I realize that it would cost a healthy $40 round-trip taxi from our Nob Hill Hotel! None-the-less, it was worth every mile ... a terrific, small, neighborhood bistro with fabulous food!!!! Great service... Thanks for the memories!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Waiter first timer?lalaVIPDined on 10/22/2014I took my boss there for a business lunch. Everything he's got turned out great unfortunately ii asked for no onions in my salad and pasta. I didn't get a chance to talk to her before I started eating. My pasta because she never came on us, so I put them to the side. I told about it and she said oops I'm sorry I forgot to tell the chef and that was it. No offer to compensate! Of Course, I did not not leave her a good tip!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- truly a neighborhood gemOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/18/2014The food is always very good, the service always friendly; Aperto is a wonderful place to dine, although it is quite noisy; not a place to have dinner conversation; but the delicious entrees make up for that.Special Features:
- Nice Neighborhood GemHiker7Dined on 10/11/2014Made reservations here to meet a friend from out of town. Small place with very good food. Not a bad dish on the menu. The stuffed squash blossoms were particularly good. Very attentive wait staff. Too full to try dessert but the chocolate souffle is highly rated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- consistently goodOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/9/2014first time there for lunch and we loved it. Great selection from salads, specials, pastas and sandwichesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Modern ItaliankimberDined on 10/8/2014Great neighborhood spot with modern Italian food. The menu changes often and the daily specials are always great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, attentive serviceJohnVIPDined on 9/29/2014Aperto is one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always good, the staff attentive and friendly.Special Features:
- fabulous!ActiviqiDined on 9/20/2014Food worthy of a destination restaurant, right in a friendly neighborhood.Special Features:
- Consistently delicious!NancePHVIPDined on 9/20/2014I love Aperto. I'm a neighbor & decided to treat myself to a visit Saturday night; it had been a while. Everything lived up to my expectations. My server Timothy was wonderful. He gave a great suggestion for a starter to go with my lamb chop main course. The faro salad was terrific. I also enjoyed listening to him make wine recommendations to other tables. He was descriptive without being pretentious. I went with the special dessert as is my pattern. The lemon buttermilk cake was tasty and with the marinated strawberries and whipped cream, yum. Sorry to hear Laura the chef is departing for her next chapter. However, I've been going to Aperto before her arrival and know that Chris will find us someone excellent to take over. Check it out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect spot for brunch with familyDiBoDined on 9/20/2014I took my out-of-town family here for brunch, had a wonderful meal and enjoyed great service. The orange muffins were a treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- elsiekDined on 9/15/2014Consistently good food over the years. Recently had the pasta with lamb sausage - delicious! The burrata appetizer is great also - the bread with it was grilled and really has a delicious grilled taste.Special Features:
- A Date Night FavoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014The food, wine, and service are top notch. It's easily my favorite Italian in the city. I love it's neighborhood atmosphere and hope that the good reviews don't make it too crowded to get in.Special Features:
- Go-to Neighborhood RestaurantDandSTravelsVIPDined on 9/10/2014Usually our first and last dinner in annual three week San Francisco visit. Small, quiet neighborhood Italian restaurant with good food, a decent and reasonably priced wine list, and knowledgeable staff. Always a pleasant evening.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved those pancakes!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/6/2014Second time back for the pancakes. They are very good! I've had similar... but they are not as good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/5/2014i say 'disappointing' because our server didn't know the menu well enough to tell my friend who asked for gluten-free items that the fish she'd ordered was breaded. when fish arrived, friend couldn't eat it. so she ordered a different fish, and it came back raw. sent it back to kitchen and it appeared to be (still) raw! sent it back and owner/manager (?) looked it over and somehow managed to convince my friend it wasn't raw and that she could eat it. at least we got a dessert and a glass of wine comped :-)
- Lunch, dinner bestfit4foodDined on 9/1/2014Not the best for brunch, food is way less imaginative than at lunch and dinner. Great service and ambience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/23/2014Have been going to Aperto since it opened, and it amazes me how consistently good and fresh it has remained.Special Features:
- Wonderful Italian FoodDavidDined on 8/18/2014We've now been to Aperto about a half-dozen times. Each time the meal is an interesting take on Italian cuisine, and each time all are dishes are very good. There is always great options for both ominovores and vegetarians.Special Features:
- still great after all these yearsdinerVIPDined on 8/18/2014Every time I go here it's just what I want, good food, gracious service, an all-around pleasant dinner. We've been going here for about 15 years and the menu changes seasonally and there are specials every night (one fish, one meat). The wine list has gotten better recently thanks to the new maitre'd. And our favorite waiter (Carlos) is still there, charming as ever. The rest of the staff is always attentive and if your waiter is busy, there is always someone else to get you what you need. The food is Italian and this is one of the few restaurants where I will eat risotto, they do an excellent job of it. The prices are extremely reasonable for SF. A go to favorite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still greatAredubVIPDined on 8/16/2014Aperto has been one of our faves since it opened, and it's still great. Everything we ordered was delicious. Just go!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid, simple Italian feastOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/16/2014Great spot, delicious small plates, housemade pastas and desserts and fantastic, attentive service. Wines by the bottle were really reasonable, too. Only tough spot might be the parking, but it wasn't bad early on a Saturday night...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go for brunch, too.sfoodieVIPDined on 8/10/2014I've eaten at Aperto several times. (It is three blocks from my home.) This time I had brunch and left just as happy. The offerings were anything but run-of-the-mill. They also aren't all that Italian. I had chilaquiles with hangar steak, which was hearty and delicious. The green salsa really made the dish. We also had lamb sausage hash. It was manly as hell, and tasted great.Special Features:
- Suburb foodPennyDined on 8/5/2014Every bite was a taste treat. The squash flowers and sauce were excellent. The tagliatelle with jalapeño and bacon is the best I have ever had. There is a wonderful, enticing dessert menu. The hot apple in pastry with gelato and caramel sauce fantastic. I could eat at Aperto every night! The quiet, neighborhood atmosphere is very relaxing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for dinnerZackDined on 8/3/2014Try the stuff figs; they will be a great starter for a fantastic meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceNotthesameVIPDined on 8/2/2014Salads, chicken and pasta dishes were great. Disappointed with the pork loin. It was rather tasteless, fried and dry. Our server was happy to take it our tab. The soufflé's were fantastic! Our all a great neighborhood meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved the food!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/2/2014The only complaint I have is that the waitress didn't exactly get my order right... and then, when I asked about my pancakes, she nodded, like she knew what I meant, but they still didn't come. Eventually the pancakes came and they WERE good enough to wait for! Next time I will speak louder. Granting that the noise level was HIGH!Special Features:
- ALWAYS VERY GOODdavidVIPDined on 8/1/2014I have been dining here for some years now. The food has always been very good. I have never been disappointed. Living in San Jose, one doesn't think of Potrero Hill as a fine food dining destination. You will be very pleased to find Aperto. I bring friends and family here all the time. My 84 year old aunt loved it.Special Features:
- Consistently deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 7/24/2014Burrata appetizer and pepati are always awesome. Enjoyed the seasonal lamb sausage pasta special this time as well!Special Features:
- Great find!hankerDined on 7/22/2014I am soo happy to have found Aperto, having searched for creative Italian cuisine in a casual setting in SF for awhile. The food was superb (all 6 of us loved our dishes) and the service was fantastic. Notably, the prices were very reasonable and pasta dishes were available in multiple sizes. This is considered a neighborhood restaurant, but I will certainly go out of my way to come back!Special Features:
- Burrrrata - and pork belly - OH MY!RPaulHVIPDined on 7/17/2014Aperto food is consistently like a short round-trip to Italia. Hand-made burrata appetizer with stone fruit - always pleasing. Pork belly melts in your mouth - fantastico! and the pasta is fresh and tasty - tagliolini, risotto, and more. We send all our visiting friends there, and always a high grade.Special Features:
- CassandraDined on 7/15/2014I have been going to Aperto for over fifteen years. I have never had anything I didn't love and everyone I bring there is delighted. I have had many special event evenings there and numerous exquisite lunches.Special Features:
- Lovely DinnerhappytoshareVIPDined on 7/13/2014We really enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner. The pastas were awesome and the appetizers were better then expected. We will most definitely come back. Very budget friendly and super delcious.Special Features:
- Slipping from former reputationLandscapeinsfVIPDined on 6/30/2014Longtime clients, always loves this place, but seemed to be off this time. We always take special out of town guests here. Sign on door "Help Wanted" might have been a clue. Maître D was not friendly, seemed a bit grumpy when we asked to have window shade lowered. All of us had hard time understanding waiter explaining specials. Waiter did not remember who ordered what (party of 4!) We are/were greatly disappointed and sad to lose a great place.Special Features:
- Great GemNotthesameVIPDined on 6/21/2014What a great neighborhood find. Chris (the GM) and his staff were fantastic! The ambiance was perfect but the food stood out and was pretty amazing. We started with the mussels were plentiful with a nice broth with pancetta bread for dipping, yummy. Both the veal and the chicken were well portioned and simply AMAZING. We ended with a chocolate lava cake and cream. Yum, Yum! We will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved every bitelocalTravelerDined on 6/20/2014Every bite of every dish is worthy of praise. My friends and I each ordered the fixed price lunch, choosing a total of 9 different dishes, including an ala carte appetizer of the burrata cheese, accompanied by a special pesto spread and their delicious bread. We loved the risotto with squash blossoms, the short rib sandwich (gosh, can't remember if it was short ribs or another delicious shredded beef), the bruschetta which was far from ordinary in its flavors. We can't wait to return. Very unassuming place, but very specialSpecial Features:

Ex-Marine and bodyguard Chris Coleman was a family man with a secret: He wanted to leave his wife for another woman, Tara Lintz. But as head of security for the world-famous Joyce Meyer Ministries�an evangelical organization that frowns on divorce�Coleman had to make other plans.
On May 5, 2009, Illinois police received a call from Coleman, who claimed he was unable to contact his family. When investigators arrived at his home, they found Coleman�s wife and two sons strangled in bed. Across the walls, spray-painted in red, were various obscenities�the word punished among them.
Who could have done something so sinister? As Coleman played the part of a grieving husband, forensic evidence at the crime scene told a different story. Key testimony from Lintz afforded yet more evidence of Coleman�s guilt�and soon a jury would find him guilty of three counts of murder in the first degree.

AFP Activists Protest President Obama's Policies Outside Stump Speech in Detroit
Citizen activists with Americans for Prosperity-Michigan today protested outside President Obama's speech at Wayne State University in Detroit.

The grassroots group Americans for Prosperity-Michigan will protest President Obama's visit to Wayne State University, advocating for the defeat of U.S. Senate Candidate Gary Peters.

I'm doing an interview with Kyle Crouse and Larry Oji from the Nitro Game Injection podcast. I'm very excited because I've had a huge man crush on Larry since I met him last year at World's Fair Use Day. The interview will be broadcast live at Arecibo Radio. After the interview I'll update this post with a link to the archived version. The interview will be at 2:00 Pacific time tomorrow (Sunday).
Edit: The interview was a lot of fun. You can listen to the entire show here. My interview starts 27 minutes in and lasts for about an hour and 40 minutes. Also right before the interview starts you can hear me say "shut up" to Iggy.

Peter Carl Fabergé was born today 166 years ago in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His family was in the Jewelry business and he eventually took over the family business in 1882. Then in 1885 he was given the title House of Fabergé where he created these Fabergé Eggs for Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia. The eggs created for them were known as Imperial Fabergé eggs, but he created 50 of them between 1885 and 1917, 8 of which are missing to this day.
Google likes to host easter eggs in their search results, such as the binary easter egg, the let it snow easter egg, do a barrel roll easter egg and others. So it is about time Google reintroduced real easter eggs to the home page of Google, like they did back in 2005.

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Dolcetto D'alba 2006
Giacomo Borgogno & Figli - Piedmont - Italy - Alba
In Italian, Dolcetto means 'little sweet one' a slightly misleading name, as the black grapes of this varietal have relatively little natural sugar and almost almost produce dry wines. However, the Dolcetto grapes are remarkably popular with those looking for a full, rounded and highly flavorful wine, and are grown extensively in their native Italy, and in many other countries around the world. Dolcetto varietal grapes tend to have quite a high level of tannin, due to their thick, black skins, and low acidity, resulting in interesting wines with a large feel in the mouth, despite being relatively light in body. They are most commonly associated with big, complex flavors such as liquorice and prunes, and are regularly described as having a finish similar to the flavor of bitter almonds.
For hundreds of years, the beautiful alpine region of Piedmont in north-west Italy has been producing excellent quality red wines, and some of the most characterful sparkling white wines to have ever come out of the Old World. The region is dominated by the mighty Alps which form the border between Italy, France and Switzerland, and the Moscato grapes that are grown in the foothills of this mountain range carry much of the Alps' flavors in their fruit, and are fed by crystal clear mountain waters. However, it is the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which are the real stars of this region, and the highly respected wineries which cover much of Piedmont have generations of experience when it comes to processing and aging these grape varietals to produce the superb wines which come out of appellations such as Barolo and Barberesco.
Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.

You already know about the heart-healthy power of nuts. But these snacks offer loads of other health benefits. Because every nut has its own special virtues, treat yourself to a variety, says Tonia Reinhard, RD, author of "Superfoods." Just don't go too nuts: These protein powerhouses are also high in calories.
| Serving Size: 18 nuts
Calories: 163
Not a spinach fan? You can get nearly 10% of your daily value of iron in a single serving of cashews. Compared with other nuts, they're also a good source of folate and vitamin K, which helps keep bones strong and blood clotting normally.

| Serving Size: 6 nuts
Calories: 186
This oft-overlooked variety is the poster nut for selenium, a mineral crucial for thyroid health. One nut contains more than a day's worth, so you get a big health boost for around 30 calories. (There is such a thing as too much selenium, so make these a rare treat.)

Skilled Nursing Facilities:
Medicare Payments Need to Better Account for Nontherapy Ancillary Cost Variation
HEHS-99-185: Published: Sep 30, 1999. Publicly Released: Sep 30, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Medicare payments for skilled nursing facilities' (SNF) services under the new prospective payment system (PPS), focusing on: (1) whether the SNF payment rates incorporate the costs of nontherapy ancillary services; and (2) an analysis of the PPS design and nontherapy ancillary cost variation to assess whether payments are distributed appropriately.
GAO noted that: (1) SNF PPS rates were calculated using the full historical costs of nontherapy ancillary services, updated for inflation; (2) costs associated with unnecessary care and improperly billed services may have boosted these historical costs above what was warranted, resulting in generous PPS payment rates; (3) however, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 explicitly reduced payments by not accounting for total cost increases, raising concerns about whether the adjustment process adequately accounts for cost increases that occurred between the base-year and the first PPS payment year; (4) although the case-mix adjustments to payments for each patient under PPS is intended to account for changes in costs due to shifts in the mix of treatments, evidence indicates that for some types of patients, these adjustments may not be adequate; (5) a full audit of SNF base-year and current costs and medical reviews of service provision would be needed to establish the actual relationship between the costs of medically appropriate care and payments; (6) nontherapy ancillary costs were not used to develop the payment adjusters that raise or lower the average payment to account for resource need differences across patients; (7) as a result, per diem payments may not be adequate for types of patients who are likely to incur high nontherapy ancillary costs or may be excessive for those groups of patients with low expected nontherapy ancillary costs; (8) in 1995, nontherapy ancillary service costs comprised 16 percent of total daily SNF costs, indicating that failure to adequately account for nontherapy ancillary cost variation could result in substantial under- or overpayments; (9) this potential misallocation could contribute to beneficiary access problems if certain patients are identified prior to SNF admission as requiring nontherapy ancillary costs higher than the PPS rate; (10) the Health Care Financing Administration is investigating possible refinements to PPS that could address these problems; and (11) in the meantime, increasing SNF payments will not improve the allocation of the payments but will only increase program outlays and possible overpayments to certain facilities.

Research shows that exercise bolsters
both the structure and function of the brain. Just a few months of moderate
exercise can create new neurons, lift mood and hone memory and thinking. But what if someone begins exercising and
then stops? How does the brain react?
Researchers at
the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil looked at what happens to the brain's
hippocampus –the memory centre of the brain – when exercise is stopped. Half of a group of healthy, adult rats
injected with a substance that marks newborn neurons in the hippocampus to run at will on running wheels. Exercise is known
to spark the creation of two or three times as many new hippocampal neurons
compared to rest.
The scientists were able to track how
many cells had been created. Meanwhile, a separate control group was housed in
cages with locked wheels, thus remaining sedentary. They were also monitored
for new brain cell growth. Seven days later, the runners' wheels
were locked so that they, too, would become inactive.
After a further week, some of the
exercised and control rats completed memory testing. Those with better memories
completed the test more quickly. The remaining animals completed the same
memory test after either three weeks or six weeks of inactivity.
The researchers then compared the
animals' performance and the number of new brain cells in the hippocampus of
each group of rats. And guess what? After only a week of inactivity, the rats
that had run were much faster on the test than the control animals and also had
at least twice as many newborn neurons in the hippocampus.
However, the advantages faded after
several more weeks of not running. The brains of the animals that had been
inactive for three weeks contained far fewer newborn neurons than the brains of
the animals that had rested for only one week. The brains of the animals that
had been inactive for six weeks had fewer still.
The animals inactive for three or six
weeks also performed far less well in the memory test than the animals that
had been inactive for only a single week. In fact, their memories were about as
porous of those of the control animals, "indicating," the authors write, "that
the exercise-induced benefits may be transient."
Another new study of exercise-induced
brain changes in rats comes from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. This
study explored the impacts of exercise on mood. Researchers reported that after
10 weeks of running, followed by three weeks of inactivity, the running rats'
brains were almost indistinguishable from those of animals that had never
exercised. They had almost comparable levels of an enzyme in the brain that
affects the synthesis and uptake of serotonin. It was as if they had never run.
In other words, the brain benefits wear off
quickly. Professor of psychology at the University of Sao Paulo Gilberto
Xavier, senior author of the study of hippocampal neurons, agrees. "Brain
changes are not maintained when regular physical exercise is interrupted," he
said, "although our observations are restricted to rats, indirect evidence
suggests that the same phenomenon occurs in human beings." So perhaps it might be wise to stick
to those New Year's exercise resolutions...
