Knockout Noodles: Little Market American Brasserie
Reviews of noodle dishes.
On a recent chilly morning, I was engaged in that telltale pastime of the food-obsessed: skimming restaurant menus online. As I scanned the offerings of Little Market American Brasserie, a newcomer to the Gold Coast installed in the Talbot Hotel and helmed by chef Ryan Poli, something caught my eye that I'd normally breeze past: chicken noodle soup.
Poli, who's a partner now in the Mercadito Hospitality group following the success of Tavernita, explained to Grub Street the concept of an "American brasserie" thusly: "We didn't want to limit ourselves to doing French cuisine, which is something really specific. So we call it an American brasserie, because if we wanted to do an Asian-inspired dish, or a South American-inspired dish, or something regional American, we're not tied to it being a brasserie per se." It would be the casualness and the feel of the restaurant that primarily would signal its a brasserie-ity, Poli went on in the lengthy pre-opening interview.
When I later found myself sitting in Little Market's big, airy dining room, the look and atmosphere did indeed strike a balance between being vaguely French, but sort of American at the same time. According to the restaurant's website, Poli traveled to 12 cities, "including New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Montreal, to cull inspiration for the new restaurant's menu." Basically, any a whole host of European and American dishes could presumably be plunked down on my chunky wood table at Little Market and they'd feel more or less at home amid the subway-tiled walls.
But back to that cold morning and that chicken noodle soup ($6.50). Possessed by the desire for warmth and fortification, I hit up Little Market for lunch and got myself some soup. In presentation and style, it felt very "American diner": cube-cut veggies, sizable hunks of chicken that looked as if they'd been hand-torn from the bone, and a fresh, fluffy roll on the side for sopping up broth. Thankfully, this bowl is not trying to be anything elaborate or take chicken noodle soup to a new and unexpected place. It's grounded in a solid broth with a nice, mouth-watering celery tang and restrained salinity. The chicken was abundant and flavorful, even while being mostly white meat. The carrots brought a tasty, balancing sweetness to the equation, and the noodles—roughly spoon-sized shells—exhibited a pleasant doughiness while maintaining their firm structure throughout my slurping. I would have liked to have picked up on more herbs, but overall my craving for soothing, restorative soup had been satisfied.
Sufficiently warmed up, I proceeded to the pasta puttanesca, which at $17 is one of the most expensive of Little Market's lunch offerings. That said, the portion, as you can see, was quite generous. (Perhaps a half order should be made available?) Accompanying the housemade linguini were plump, well-cooked shrimp, a chunky tomato sauce, capers, and black olives. Billed on the menu as spicy, the sauce only delivered hints of heat, but I really liked its bright acidity. Less prominent was the bold flavor of capers, which I had been most excited about. But the quiet capers were thankfully backed up by the more resonant black olives.
I always applaud housemade noodles. And for the most part, these were solid: light and springy and with a pleasing bite. (Some unfortunate clumping held them back from being exceptional.)
Judging by its tasty noodle offerings, Little Market does evoke a casual, comforting vibe. Calling it an "American brasserie" is just about right.

Simply put, contemporary art is the art of our time. However, it can be difficult to define specifically as what it means to be 'contemporary' changes with each day – what is modern to us will be history to future generations.
Contemporary art is a label, not a single movement. It can be seen as a myriad of new approaches to art that have developed since the 1960s. Contemporary artists take art beyond the traditional forms of drawing, painting and sculpture and embrace new mediums and technologies.
In this first display of works in the new contemporary galleries, several key themes emerge.

We offer field trips, workshops and tours for:
BioTrek's mission is "Sharing Science With Wisconsin."
Menu of BioTrek Field Trip Options.
BioTrek's goal is to cultivate science savvy: To transform how people view and do science, and to enable people to use science better in making personal choices, in forming public policies, and in making decisions in the face of uncertainty.
BioTrek's approach has a strong focus on the nature of science and on epistemology, the branch of philosophy that asks "what is knowable and what is not knowable?" BioTrek encourages learners of all ages to consider "What is science? How is science different from other ways of knowing?"
BioTrek's outreach work is in keeping with a commitment expressed by UW President Charles Van Hise in his speech on February 15, 1905 to members of the Legislature and the Wisconsin Press Association. He ended with a passage that included, "I shall never be content until the beneficient influence of the university reaches every family of the state."

Van Hise's commitment from 1905 still forms the cornerstone of what has since become known as The Wisconsin Idea.

Each lender has its own policies, but as a general rule you will have to pay lender's mortgage insurance (LMI) if your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) exceeds 80 per cent. This applies whether you're taking out a new home loan or you're refinancing.
If you're looking to buy a property, you can use this LMI calculator to work out how much you're likely to be charged in LMI.
Lender's Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is an insurance policy, which protects your bank if you default on the loan (i.e. stop paying your loan). While the bank takes out the policy, you pay the premium. Generally you can 'capitalise' the premium – meaning that instead of paying it upfront in one hit, you roll it into the total amount you owe, and it becomes part of your regular mortgage repayments.
This additional cost is typically required when you have less than 20 per cent savings, or a loan with an LVR of 80 per cent or higher, and it can run into thousands of dollars. The policy is not transferrable, so if you sell and buy a new house with less than 20 per cent equity, then you'll be required to foot the bill again, even if you borrow with the same lender.
Some lenders, such as the Commonwealth Bank, charge customers with a small deposit a Low Deposit Premium or LDP instead of LMI. The cost of the premium is included in your loan so you pay it off over time.
Lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) can be avoided by having a substantial deposit saved up before you apply for a loan, usually around 20 per cent or more (or a LVR of 80 per cent or less). This amount needs to be considered genuine savings by your lender so it has to have been in your account for three months rather than a lump sum that has just been deposited.
Some lenders may even require a six months saving history so the best way to ensure you don't end up paying LMI is to plan ahead for your home loan and save regularly.
Tip: You can use RateCity mortgage repayment calculator to calculate your LMI based on your borrowing profile
A loan-to-value ratio (otherwise known as a Loan to Valuation Ratio or LVR), is a calculation lenders make to work out the value of your loan versus the value of your property, expressed as a percentage. Lenders use this calculation to help assess your suitability for a home loan, and whether you need to pay lender's mortgage insurance (LMI). As a general rule, most banks will require you to pay LMI if your loan-to-value ratio is 80 per cent or more. LVR is worked out by dividing the loan amount by the value of the property. If you are looking for a quick ball-park estimate of LVR, the size of your deposit is a good indicator as it is directly proportionate to your LVR. For instance, a loan with an LVR of 80 per cent requires a deposit of 20 per cent, while a 90 per cent LVR requires 10 per cent down payment.
While this all sounds simple enough, it is worth doing a more accurate calculation of LVR before you commit to buying a place as there are some traps to be aware of. Firstly, the 'loan amount' is the price you paid for the property plus additional costs such as stamp duty and legal fees, minus your deposit amount. Secondly, the 'property value' is determined by your lender's valuation of the property, not the price you paid for it, and sometimes these can differ so where possible, try and get your bank to evaluate the property before you put in an offer.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the non-profit organization that Chris helped establish, my heart is breaking. Our foundation, FITCO Cares, this country and most importantly, his wife Taya and their children, lost a dedicated father and husband, a lifelong patriot and an American hero.
Chris Kyle was a hero for his courageous efforts protecting our country as a U.S. Navy SEAL during four tours of combat. Moreover, he was a hero for his efforts stateside when he helped develop the FITCO Cares Foundation. What began as a plea for help from Chris looking for in-home fitness equipment for his brothers- and sisters-in-arms struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) became an organization that will carry that torch proudly in his honor.
Chris died doing what he filled his heart with passion – serving soldiers struggling with the fight to overcome PTSD. His service, life and premature death will never be in vain. May God watch over his family and all those who considered Chris a true friend.
He will forever be missed.
The news stunned me last night. It broke my heart for his wife, his children, his family and fiends. This nation was built on the actions of heroes and heroes like Chris have kept this nation free and strong. Sometimes we forget that these men, the Green Berets, SEALS, Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance, and all the rest of our Special Forces, are just men. They are so highly trained, so skilled, such great warriors that we forget they are mortal. God bless every one of them for their devotion to duty, their sacrifice, and their continuation of the American legacy of heroism.

I was interested to read this review of the new documentary, 'Client 9', about the Eliot Spitzer takedown. The reviewer, O'Hehir, describes it as, "an act that in retrospect looks an awful lot like a political assassination." Ya think?
"Politician caught with pants down" and "White knight has feet of clay" are stories we're all drawn to, almost by primal instinct. They satisfyingly confirm all our worst suspicions about human nature. But that primal satisfaction was used, in this case, to distract our attention from the takedown of one of the few American politicians devoted to fighting corporate power and ruling-class privilege, an act that in retrospect looks an awful lot like a political assassination.

Conjunctivitis in childrenÖgoninflammation hos barn - engelska
It is common for children to develop conjunctivitis, often in connection with a cold. In most cases the problem clears up within a week without the need for medical treatment.
Symptoms of conjunctivitis
When a child is suffering from conjunctivitis, the white of the eye becomes red and irritated. It is the transparent mucous membrane covering the eye and the inside of the eyelids that has become inflamed. Normally, the eye appears swollen and it may feel scratchy. There is also normally a sticky discharge called pus from the eye. This discharge causes the eyelids to stick together, particularly when waking in the morning. In most cases both eyes will be inflamed.
A common cause of conjunctivitis in children is an eye infection caused by a virus or bacteria. The inflammation is the body's way of defending itself. Conjunctivitis can also be the result of an allergic reaction, or a child may have suffered an eye injury or got something in their eye.
How to deal with conjunctivitis
If there is a discharge from your child's eyes, it is a good idea to wipe it away with some soft tissue. Be sure to throw the tissue away to avoid the risk of infection. The discharge can also be washed away with lukewarm water.
If the eyelids stick together, for example while your child is asleep, you can apply a wet compress or cotton wool to the eye. This causes the discharge to dissolve and loosen, making it easier to wipe away.
It is a good idea to change your child's pillowcase every day. Children should also have their own towel, both at home and at preschool or day nursery.
Newborn babies
It is common for the eyes of newborn babies to produce a yellowish discharge. This is because their tear ducts are narrower than those of older children and adults. If your baby's eyes produce a lot of discharge, you can wipe it away with some soft tissue.
Can my child go to preschool?
Children who have red and slightly sticky eyes do not need to be kept home from preschool if they are otherwise well. Children with allergic conjunctivitis do not need to be kept home either. However, if your child's eyelids stick together and you have to clean their eyes throughout the day, your child may have a more severe case of conjunctivitis. Even if your child otherwise feels well, they should be kept home from preschool or day nursery, both to avoid passing on any infection and because their eyes need frequent cleaning during the day.
Your child can return to preschool or day nursery as soon as the worst of the inflammation has passed and there is no longer any discharge from the eyes.
Easily spread
Eye infections spread easily among young children because they play so closely together. The infection is spread, for example, when a child rubs their eyes and then picks up toys or plays with other children. School children do not have the same close contact, but with a severe eye infection your child may need to be kept home if their eyes are irritated.
How can I avoid my child getting conjunctivitis?
If a lot of people around you have colds, it is a good idea to wash your hands regularly to prevent any eye infections being spread. It is also a good idea to change towels frequently at home and at preschool or day nursery.
Getting treatment
Conjunctivitis normally clears up on its own within a week or so.
If your child has a very severe case of conjunctivitis and their eyes produce a lot of discharge, or if the inflammation does not pass within a week, you should contact your local health centre. If the health centre is closed or you cannot make an appointment, you should take your child to a local emergency clinic or department. The inflammation may need to be treated with antibiotics. After two days of antibiotic treatment, your child should no longer be infectious and can return to preschool, day nursery or school if they are able to and otherwise feel well.
You should also contact your health centre or an emergency department immediately if your child is sensitive to light or has a severe problem with just one eye and you suspect that it is damaged.
You can always get medical advice by calling 1177.

The game that ruled the nation
The three weeks of Virgin Australia's Game of Phones saw almost 40,000 Aussies dive into Australia's biggest ever location-based alternative reality phone app.
Trying to stake their claim for the $200,000 of rewards up for grabs 27 year-old university student from Perth, Jaxson Bateman, was the ultimate winner, dedicating his university holidays to playing the game.
"After dedicating over eight hours a day to playing the game, developing my strategy and chasing prizes across Perth, it was mind-blowing to hear that I had beaten almost 40,000 other players to become 'The King' of Game of Phones," said Jaxson.
"Choosing to play Virgin Mobile's Game of Phones over a full time job was the best decision I ever made!"
The game combined alternative reality and real-world interaction, enticing customers into battle with one another where players could "steal" prizes from each other.
"Virgin Mobile's Game of Phones has received exceptional interest from the Australian public, generating more than 2.5 million screen views across both Android and iOS, and driving more than 103 million online impressions throughout the duration of the game," Nicole Bardsley, director of Virgin Mobile brand and communications, said.
The campaign was also promoted through Australia's first ever dynamic messaging platform created by outdoor media company oOh! which enabled Virgin Mobile to control messaging in real time to any individual, or all sites on their digital network.
The campaign was live from November 18 until December 6, and generated almost 40,000 players, almost half of whom were based in Sydney (44%).

I'm just going to warn you, straight up, that this is a loooong post with a lot of pictures. But it covers something that I wanted to know how to do, and I couldn't find a good enough tutorial on the Web so I figured it out myself by trial and error.
One thing I knew about my wedding dress — before I even sat down to draw, before I looked at fabric — was that it was going to have a row of tiny little buttons with loops. They're so romantic and dreamy — and even though I wasn't going the white wedding dress, romantic was definitely on the cards. It's like wearing a veil: sure, I could do without it, but when else am I going to wear a dress that can legitimately require assistance just to get it done up?
The buttons needed to be about 11mm wide — that's 7/16 of an inch to those of you over the ocean. And every time I went to cover one in the silk dupioni, said silk unraveled and puckered and was just generally dispiriting. I asked around and had a play — here is a better way.
Draw your motif on a clean sheet of paper, in black pen that can be seen through your fabric. The motif should be at least 2mm (technical term — a smidge) smaller than your button.
Cut a piece of silk three or four times the button's size — this is not the time to be stingy with fabric.
Trace the motif ever-so-lightly with a pencil (you may need to use a lightbox or a window) and thread your needle with one strand of embroidery floss.
Of course you can use any stitch to embroider your button, but I used ol' reliable, chain stitch. For this one, you bring your needle up, wrap the floss around the needle at the front, pull tight, and repeat (it's easier to understand from the pictures.)
Huzzah, done! Sorry about the weird colours. My camera, it seems, cannot deal with tiny macro shots of shiny silk.
Self-cover buttons will almost always come with a cutting guide on the packet. Cut out the appropriate size and push a pin through dead centre — find it by folding the circle twice. Now rest the pin on the dead centre of your motif and push the cutting guide down.
Trace around, leaving a smidge of room because you'll be cutting well inside the line.
Take a scrap of lightweight, iron-on interfacing and iron to the reverse side. It's best to put a light cloth between the iron and the silk/embroidery. You don't want to burn the silk or squash your stitching.
Now cut around your circle, inside the guide line. Thread your needle with regular cotton and make small running stitches all around it. Leave a considerable tail at either end (I could have used more in this example — at least 10cm or 4″.)
Pull tight, making sure that your motif remains centred. You may need to wrap the thread around the shank to get it tight enough. This is fiddly work. Be patient.
Place the backing on the button. Use a fingernail to make sure all the edges are sitting underneath the backing, then push down firmly all around the sides.
Congratulate yourself and take a photo!
Now go find some other places to take photos. Admire how pretty and how tiny it is.
Now you can get married!

U.S. District Judge James A. Beaty, Jr., who serves in the Middle District of North Carolina in Winston-Salem, will take senior status at the end of June, 2014, as confirmed by chambers.
Judge Beaty, the lone African-American federal district court judge in North Carolina, was appointed by President Clinton in 1994 and served as chief judge for the district from 2006 to 2012. Before taking a seat on the federal bench, Beaty had served as a judge in Forsyth County Superior Court for 13 years.
By taking senior status, Judge Beaty can continue to receive his current salary but is not required to carry a full caseload. His seat, however, becomes vacant.
Beaty's vacancy will be the second in the federal district courts in North Carolina, with the now 8-year vacancy in the Eastern District still in abeyance.
Although President Obama nominated Jennifer May-Parker for that seat back in June, U.S. Senator Richard Burr has failed without explanation to support that nomination, leaving the likelihood of her confirmation in question.
Beaty's decision to take senior status follows that of Maryland-based Fourth Circuit Judge Andre M. Davis, who announced that he will take senior status in February 2014.

For Obama: The Chronicle endorses the senator from Illinois for the Democratic presidential nomination
The Chronicle endorses the senator from Illinois for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The presidency of the United States is a powerful bully pulpit. The occupant of the White House must not only issue orders, but also inspire and advocate for all Americans.
Of the two finalists for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Chronicle believes Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois is best-qualified by life experience, skill and temperament to be the standard bearer for his party. In a conference call, Obama told the Chronicle editorial board that "more than any other candidate, I can bridge some of the partisan as well as racial and religious divides that have developed in this country that prevent us from getting things done."
Those who have viewed the numerous campaign debates know there's not much to separate Obama from his opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York. Either could ably represent the Democratic Party. Both candidates favor ending the war in Iraq by withdrawing combat troops and initiating regional negotiations to stabilize the country. Both would press for dramatic strides toward providing all Americans with health insurance.
Both support a cap and trade system to begin reducing America's carbon emissions that contribute to global warming. Each promises to initiate multibillion-dollar efforts to promote conversion of the economy to clean energy technologies. They favor securing our borders, initiating comprehensive immigration reform and creating a path to earned legal status for those already here who are working and contributing to their communities.
However, there is a decisive difference. Obama vows to reach out to independents and Republicans with a message of inclusion and cooperation. He offers a historic opportunity to elevate national political dialogue to a higher ground. Those who insist on vitriol and obstructionism would be marginalized.
On several issues vital to Houstonians, Obama's positions need elaboration. He recognizes the need to maintain U.S. pre-eminence in space but said he wanted to study the costs and benefits of human space exploration — an exercise that should convince him of the space program's long history of indispensable contributions.
Obama said he did not expect the leaders of the energy sector to vote for him. He needs to realize that the energy sector must be a large part of a cooperative effort to develop alternative fuels and avoid an energy crunch.
The 46-year-old Obama has expanded his base of support, winning new legions of supporters. The more people see and hear him, the more they like him. As the Hawaiian-born son of a Muslim Kenyan father and an Anglo Midwesterner, the devoutly Christian Obama transcends race and religion. His life has been one of involvement with disadvantaged Chicago residents, excellence at Harvard Law School and eight years as an Illinois state senator. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, only the third African-American to serve there since Reconstruction.
Obama is both the epitome of the American Dream and well-positioned to reach out to an international community alienated by recent U.S. go-it-alone policies.
The passion and excitement that Obama has brought to the race can only stimulate more citizens to participate in the electoral process. The Chronicle urges Texas Democrats to cast what could be decisive ballots for his presidential nomination.

Elizabeth Taylor left her seventh and final husband, construction worker "Larry the Lion," more than $800,000 in her will, Larry Fortensky told London's Daily Mail in a story published Sunday.
Fortensky, now 59, told the Daily Mail he was never a gold digger.
"I always worked for a living and I carried on when I was with her. I am a proud man and I like to work. I didn't want her money," he said.
Youngsters may not remember, but Taylor met Fortensky, a then-foxy high school dropout 20 years her junior, when they were both in rehab. They married in October 1991 at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch and divorced in 1996. Fortensky walked away from the marriage with a $1 million settlement, the New York Daily News reported.
Fortensky told the Daily Mail that he and Taylor, who died last month at age 79, had an "instant physical attraction."
"She was funny and sweet, and the more I got to know her the sweeter she became," he said, "Of course she was very pretty and I wasn't too bad-looking in those days either."
Fortensky's sister Donna said Taylor "would call Larry her 'stallion.' He loved that. They were very sexy together. Larry would get up from the table and drag Liz off to the bedroom."
Taylor is believed to have been worth between $600 million and $1 billion, Bloomberg Businessweek Senior Editor Diane Brady said on CBS' "The Early Show on Saturday Morning."
According to the Daily Mail, the bulk of Taylor's fortune will go to her children, grandchildren and the AIDS charities she supported.

Anyone I had contact with was very personable and truly offered wonderful assistance and advice.
My instructor was perfect on all counts; couldn't have asked for better support.
I learned very good skills from the videos by Dr. Dean McDonald. He spoke quick and fast, but was very knowledgeable. His experience truly communicated well over the lecture videos and helped give me a grasp of the concepts. The handouts were also extremely helpful, as they were used as a study guide for quizzes, tests, and final exam. They can easily be downloaded, quickly be read, and be readily available before the vendor examination. Laurel Eismann was consistent with keeping track of my progress. She maintained communication by sending reminders and encouragements to continue through the course. Her advice has been very helpful to me. She is a good adviser and I would recommend her to others seeking to take this course.
I liked the variety of instruction materials; it wasn't just text or reading. The lectures and worksheets and labs were good reinforcement of the topics. I liked having a course syllabus and daily schedule to follow. It kept me motivated and on task.
I loved the Flexibility of the course, because as an older person and disable it was manageable.

The question is mostly in the title:
What is the smallest diameter ring a non-convex polyhedron can pass through in 3-space?
Imagine I have some non-convex polyhedron $P$, and I would like to find the smallest diameter ring that it can pass through in 3-space, undergoing any necessary rotations as it does so. Is there an efficient way to calculate $D_{ring}$? Pressing my luck, can I find the set of rotations for $P$ as it passes through the ring?

Avoid those fatty and unhealthy treats that may contain oil residue. And we recommend that treats should only be given when necessary so that your dog will not depend on them.

Responsible pet owners know that giving your pet chew treats is a way of allowing their pets to still satisfy their chewing needs while rewarding them in proper habits.
Rawhide is a way of scraping and rubbing your pet's teeth clean. Dog Dental Treats take Rawhide Chews and add the power of baking soda and the added benefit of Chlorophyll and Parsley Seed for extra clean teeth and Fresh Breath. Dog Dental Treats are like the power of a toothbrush in a bone. Giving your pet a Dog Dental Treats is a good way to maintain proper teeth care and improve your pet's over health.

It's a bit dicey to find anything funny in the sexual slavery / prostitution ring known as the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints, aka, the Mormon child abuse cult). Bill Maher managed to do it by pointing out the discrepancy between society's treatment of misbehavior by "cults" and misbehavior by "religions".
If you can stomach it, watch the video at Crooks and Liars. It's funny but only if you can laugh at the really fucked up things that infuriate you and make you despair of the world.

Oil drops back to near $84 amid ample US supplies
The price of oil slid back to near $84 a barrel Friday as traders weighed evidence of ample U.S. supplies against signs of recovery in China's economy.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for December delivery was down 80 cents at $84.29 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract on Thursday rose 65 cents to close at $85.09 in New York.
New factory production and retail sales figures from China, which is one of the world's biggest consumers of crude, added to signs an economic recovery is taking shape after a painful slowdown.
But the improvements in China's economy are still too modest to make up for weakness in Europe and the U.S.
Supplies of crude, meanwhile, are high and more than enough to meet modest growth in demand. U.S. oil production is at 17-year highs.
A stronger dollar, which makes crude more expensive and a less attractive investment for traders using other currencies, also weighed on oil prices. On Friday, the euro was down to $1.2693 from $1.2745 late Thursday in New York.
Analysts say risks to future supplies of oil remain and could keep prices from falling much lower.
"In addition to the ongoing problems with North Sea production, we are now also seeing delays to shipments in Nigeria and Azerbaijan. This is compounded by the continuing tensions in the crisis-ridden regions of the Middle East," said a report from analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.
Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, was down 59 cents at $106.66 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other Nymex energy futures trading:
— Wholesale gasoline was down 0.17 cent to $2.6056 a gallon.
— Heating oil dropped 0.55 cent to $2.9499 a gallon.
— Natural gas lost 3.8 cents to $3.57 per 1,000 cubic feet.

About Christophe Rousset
Christophe Rousset is one of the finest and most exciting harpsichordists, and as a conductor is a leader in the late 20th century revival of French Baroque music.
After studying piano as a boy, he became deeply interested in the harpsichord at the age of 13. He studied with Huguette Dreyfus at the Schola Cantorum in Paris and, from 1980 to 1983, with Bob van Asperen at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague. He won a special certificate of distinction at the Schola Cantorum and, in 1983, the first prize at the International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges.
He began a professional career, in which he rose quickly in the ranks of the world's harpsichordists. He soon appeared at some of the most prestigious early music festivals, including those of Aix-en-Provence, Saintes, Veaune, Utrecht, La Roque d'Anthéron, and Les Printemps des Arts de Nantes. He recorded for the Decca record label and its early music imprint L'Oiseau-Lyre. His recording of the Piéces de clavecin of Rameau won the 1992 Gramophone Award for Best Baroque Non-Vocal Release and the Belgian Cecilia Prize.
During this time as a specialist in Baroque harpsichord, he often performed the harpsichord continuo parts in ensemble music. It was natural that Rousset's harpsichord appearances with such established authentic instrument ensembles as La Petite Bande, Musica Antique de Cologne, the Academy of Ancient Music, Il Seminario Musicale, and Les Arts Florissants led him to an interest in leading a Baroque ensemble. In 1991, he founded such a group, which he named Les Talens Lyriques. The group was primarily interested in reviving French Baroque music and exploring the connections between the distinct national styles of France and other major European nations. An important introduction of Les Talens came in 1993 at the Festival de Beaune, when they performed Scipione by Handel. They have also played ballets and operas of Cimarosa, Berutti, de Mondonville. They recorded the soundtrack for the movie Farinelli, which had extraordinary sales for an early music classical release, selling well over 600,000 copies worldwide.
In 2000, Rousset conducted Mozart's Mitridate at the Opéra National de Lyon. In 2004 he was honored by the French government as Officier des Arts et Lettres and Chevalier dans l'Ordre National du Mérite.
Rousset has continued to record as a solo harpsichordist, often exploring the rich fund of French Baroque harpsichord music beyond Rameau and Couperin. The explosion of interest in Baroque opera in the 2010s has stimulated a busy schedule of performances and recordings of operas with Rousset as director; he has recorded, mostly for the Aparte and Ediciones Singulares labels, such novelties as Lully's Amadis (2014), Antonio Salieri's Les Danaïdes (2015), and, in 2017, Etienne-Nicolas Méhul's early Romantic Uthal. By that time, Rousset ranked as one of the most prolific performers of Baroque repertory on the European scene. He is noteworthy as a teacher and mentor, with countless "graduates" from Les Talens Lyriques populating European early music orchestras and stages. ~ Joseph Stevenson, James Manheim
