Alcohol: The Real Culprit in Breast Cancer Risk
by Dr. Virginia Herrmann
The association between alcohol intake and breast cancer risk is well established.
Many studies even suggest there is an increase in breast cancer with only one drink per day. Despite the elevated risk of breast cancer and other health concerns, American women, over the past 20 years, have increased their consumption of alcohol. It is estimated one of every three American women drink, and 10 percent drink more than two drinks per day. There is a 10 percent increase in breast cancer risk for every 10 gram per day of alcohol consumed, which is less than a 4 ounce glass of wine. You may have heard "a glass of wine a day is good for your heart." This has been shown for men, but the data is less clear for women. Keep in mind, women metabolize alcohol differently than men, and this may account for the higher risk of cirrhosis of the liver in women who drink compared with men. Light to moderate drinking in women, one to three drinks per week, has been associated with a decrease in death from heart disease. However, heavier drinking, two or more drinks a day, is associated with a significantly increased risk of death from breast cancer and cirrhosis.
Is there a safe drink? The risk of breast cancer increases with the amount of alcohol consumed, not the type of alcohol consumed.
It also matters at what stage in a woman's life she drinks alcohol. Heavy drinking early in life does not increase a woman's chance of breast cancer. However, studies have shown the greatest risk of breast cancer is associated with drinking after menopause.
Women for example, who drink during their 50s, have an increased risk of breast cancer. This risk is even greater in women who are also taking hormone replacement. Alcohol interferes with folate metabolism in a woman's body. To reduce that interference, women who drink alcohol should be certain to take folate (300-500ug/ day) which may help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Most multi-vitamin supplements contain 400 ug of folate per tablet.
In summary, drinking alcohol in women who are menopausal, or after age 50, increases the risk of breast cancer. Women who are also taking hormone replacement are at particular risk. If you drink alcohol, reduce your risk of breast cancer by: Drinking in moderation (one to three drinks per week) Take a vitamin supplement with folate.

Illinois regulators are moving to revoke the license of a troubled hospital on Chicago's West Side after it abruptly closed without giving the required 90 days' notice.
Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck says the department is starting disciplinary action against Sacred Heart Hospital, which closed its doors Monday.
In April, federal prosecutors issued a complaint against the hospital. An investigation dating to 2011 led to the arrest of hospital owner Edward Novak and other executives and doctors for allegedly conspiring to exchange kickbacks for referrals of patients insured by Medicare and Medicaid.
Novak issued a statement through his attorney saying Medicare stopped paying the hospital after his arrest, which forced the hospital to close. He denies the allegations against him.

Couchbase Server 2.0 Developer Preview 4 released!
Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce Couchbase Server 2.0 Developer preview 4 is now available from:
Release notes may be found at:
Please post any feedback here to the forums.
How stable is this version? Can it be used in production environment? Which version of Couchbase does the company OMGPOP use? Do they just cache various information or do they use it as their main database?
As a released developer preview, it has a certain known stability and quality, but it's not a release. In a release, we make sure we have all known issues of a certain severity fixed. If you look at the release notes for DP5, you'll see what the known issues are.
Can it be used in a production environment? That depends-- production means different things to different projects. We use it in several production places here at Couchbase, but we use 1.8 in other places.
Regarding the version in place at OMGPOP, I believe it's 1.8, and it is definitely their main database behind the game.
When do you anticipate a production ready release of version 2.0?
how will couchbase 1.8 servers be updated to 2.0 when it has the stable release? as i see from the tutorials keeping key value pairs as json strings in 2.0 is obligatory to use views on data. shoud we keep data as json in 1.8 as well to update 1.8 servers to 2.0 servers after the latest release?
It's expected late Q3 this year. We'll have a beta period, likely later this quarter.
i guess the update process from 1.8 to 2.0 is uncertain now?
For all new applications, yes. Using JSON now will give you more features with views in 2.0.
There are some things you can do with views even if you don't use JSON. For example, range queries on keys.
It will be an online, rebalance upgrade.
I'm sorry for the basic question, but it's something that is not leaping out of the manuals at me...
In a multi-node cluster is MVCC guaranteed? So 2 folks read a document and happen to get it from different nodes(in the same cluster) and then each update (differently) to separate nodes will one of them get an error for sure, definately, no question, swear on your pet-hamster's life?
I'm potentially looking at this product in the future being an ODS for a financial blue chip in the UK... and this stuff is kind of important.
Couchbase uses a mechanism called CAS (compare and set/swap) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compare-and-swap). The exact syntax varies from SDK to SDK, but what you essentially do is pass on a unique identifier that has to be equal on the server side. If it is, the value gets updated, if not you can handle it in your application.
If you have more detailed questions, just ask them here!

How to beat annoying bank fees
Unwanted banking charges can appear when you don't expect them, such as ATM balance-inquiry fees or fees for talking to a human. Know what they are and how to avoid them.
Two bank fees get a lot of attention: monthly maintenance charges and ATM fees.
Those charges are pretty easy to avoid, however, by changing your behavior or changing banks. The fees that are really pesky are the ones you don't think to ask about. They often show up unexpectedly and may be tough to shake.
Here are a few to watch out for:
Returned-deposit fees
Checks you deposit in your account can bounce, and if they do, all you-know-what can break loose. You may face overdraft charges or rejected transactions because you don't have enough money in your account. In addition, your bank may clip you with a $10 to $20 fee for depositing the bad check.
How to cope: There's typically no way for you to know if a check is good before you deposit it, so this is a "gotcha" that can be avoided only in advance -- by banking with an institution that doesn't charge the fee. Most big banks levy returned-deposit charges, but some smaller banks and many credit unions don't. Switching to one that doesn't charge may make sense if you deposit a lot of checks. If you're charged a returned-deposit fee, ask your bank to waive the fee as a one-time courtesy. Your bank may not budge, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Another option: Cash a check at the issuing bank. But this could trigger a fee, since you're not a customer, and might be inconvenient.
Fees for 'early' account closures
Want to close your account because of excessive fees? Not so fast. Shut a bank account within a few months of opening it and your bank might withhold $10 to $50 from your balance as a so-called early-closure fee. Citibank, Chase, PNC and Wachovia each charge $25. If you were given a bonus or other rewards for opening the account, the bank may try to "claw back" those benefits by charging even more, warns U.S. PIRG, a consumer advocacy group that issued a report last year on bank fees.
How to cope: Before you open an account, ask if there's an early-closure fee and, if so, how many months the account must be active before the fee is waived. Balance the fees you'll pay by sticking with the account against what you'd pay to leave early.
Fees for returned mail
Say you move but forget to update your mailing address with your financial institutions. Banks and creditors typically have "return service requested" printed on their envelopes, which means your statements and other information are returned to them rather than forwarded to your new address. Your bank may ding you $5 each time this happens.
How to cope: "Put your financial institutions at the top of the list of those you notify when moving," said Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst for Bankrate.com.
Liz Weston
ATM balance-inquiry fees
Prepaid cards come loaded with so many egregious fees that it's hard to pick just one. You get dinged for "activating" your card ($3 to $9.95), having the card (monthly charges of $2.95 to $9.95), using the card (per-transaction fees of $1 to $2) and reloading the card ($3 to $10).
Still, NerdWallet CEO Tim Chen nominates the ATM balance-inquiry charge as particularly pesky, since checking a bank or gift card balance typically doesn't cost the user money.
"Nearly all reloadable prepaid debit cards have this fee, which typically ranges from 50 cents to $2 per incident," Chen said. "Note that you are charged for inquiring about your balance, even if you don't make a withdrawal."
How to cope: You typically can check your balance for free online. Using the toll-free number to inquire may or may not trigger another fee. Better yet, consider opening a free checking account at a local bank or credit union. Over time, a low-cost checking account will be cheaper than using prepaid cards to manage your spending.
Fees for talking to a human
If you run into a problem that can't be handled by an automated system, you may get dinged for requesting help. Prepaid cards, including NetSpend and Ace Cash Express, charge 50 cents to $1 for live help.
"It's ridiculous that NetSpend and Account Now charge you for a customer-service call, even if you are calling because they messed up your statement," Chen said.
Ask for help from a Bank of America teller and you could pay $8.95 -- that is, if you have one of the bank's electronic checking accounts where you're not supposed to need human help.
How to cope: If you must use a prepaid card, look for reviews online so you can see where the complaints are -- and which cards have lousy or costly customer service. With bank accounts, consider looking for a free account that allows you to talk to a teller now and then if necessary. Such accounts are available, although you may have to expand your search from the megabanks to community banks and credit unions to find them.
Currency conversion charges
Credit card companies like their foreign-transaction fees so much that they're expanding their definition of what triggers the extra charge of up to 3%.
"Increasingly, this is being applied to transactions made outside the U.S., even if it's in dollars and no currency conversion takes place," Bankrate's McBride said. "Also, transactions with foreign entities may incur the charge, even if you're sitting at home when the purchase is made."
How to cope: If you travel abroad or make purchases from foreign retailers (such as online), use a card that doesn't charge the fees.
Capital One has several cards that don't charge the fees, including its Venture, No Hassle and Platinum Prestige cards. Chase's Sapphire Preferred, British Airways, Hyatt and Priority Club Select cards don't impose currency conversion charges, nor does Citi on ThankYou Premier and ThankYou Prestige cards. American Express' Platinum and Centurion cards don't charge the fees either.
Reward redemption fees
As you learned in my recent column "How to beat pesky airline fees," free travel isn't free anymore, particularly when you're redeeming credit card rewards for airline travel. Most issuers charge a fee, ranging from $20 to $50, for these transactions.
How to cope: You may be able to avoid or reduce the charge by booking online rather than on the phone. Elite frequent fliers may also be able to get the charge waived, depending on the program. Otherwise, you might want to look into hotel rewards programs, which are typically far easier to use than the airline version, with no blackout dates or redemption charges.

text: During the economic collapse that began in 2007 and now often referred to as the Great Recession, the United States shed an astonishing 8.4 million jobs, according to federal statistics. The official national unemployment rate peaked at 10 percent in October 2010 but had dropped to 8.1 percent in April 2012. However economists say the true rate is higher when discouraged workers who have given up looking for work are taken into account. Despite signs the economy is slowly recovering, job growth remains spotty creating problems not only for unemployed workers and their families but for politicians as well. The administrations of President George W. Bush and his successor, Barack Obama, both poured hundreds of billions of dollars into stopping the financial collapse and attempting to stimulate the economy. From critics of various stripes said it was too much or too little or a sop to the banks and financiers at the heart of the troubles. The latest extension of unemployment compensation for workers who have exhausted state benefits took effect on March 1, 2012, and runs through the end of the year.

Too Long!
Wow….it has been too long since I last posted. Time has just flown by.
Things have been busy the past few weeks. I'll just have time to write about a couple of them.
Aubree turned 14 years old this month. I know everyone says this about their kids, but where did the time go? It is hard to believe that she is turning into a young woman, complete with all the joys and issues that brings. I think it was really brought home to me awhile back when I took her to the doctor. She had some sort of virus, he examined her, and then asked her, "Have you considered going on birth control?" She blushed and giggled and he said, "I'm not joking. I feel it is my responsibility to bring the issue up with a girl your age. I've had pregnant girls in this office younger than you." She stammered, "but I'm not sexually active. I don't need birth control!" He nodded and noted that there were other positive aspects to being on the pill as well. As they had this conversation it seemed so surreal. My daughter? Teenager? Birth control? Talking about sex? Wow. The upside to the whole incident is that it has led to several conversations between the two of us on the subject.
Then of course there is my other girl, my lovely wife. With school, work, babysitting an infant every other weekend, and other things going on we don't get a lot of time to ourselves. We partially remedied that for Valentine's Day, going out for a very nice dinner. We got to eat steak and lobster and enjoy some quiet conversation. Such evenings are important and we need to have more of them!
Then of course there is Patrick. He spends part of each school day working in a veterinarian's office. I wasn't sure how that was going to work out. Patrick has never been very fond of animals, staying his distance from the family pets we've had over the years. But one of the vets has a chicken coop in back of his clinic. Part of Patrick's job is cleaning the coop, feeding the chickens, and gathering eggs. He LOVES doing it. When school was out because of the ice he worried about those chickens and who was going to take care of them. He still surprises me sometimes.
I have been working like crazy on creating a "freshman academy" in our high school for next year. The transition between middle school and high school is where a lot of kids fall between the cracks. I am working on creating an environment that is more personal and will hopefully keep more kids in school.
I am also doing a lot of reading and thinking about my doctoral dissertation. If all goes well I should be able to finish by May, 2010. The next year looks like a pretty busy time in the life of Brian!
I hope all is well in your world!

In international polls most, but not all, publics say that force is sometimes necessary to maintain order in the world. European publics tend to think that their countries should be emphasizing a non-military role in international affairs. However, they express willingness to contribute forces to a wide range of possible multilateral operations.�Download full chapter (PDF).
International polls find that the UN Security Council (UNSC) is widely seen as having the right to authorize the use of force to prevent and respond to violent conflict in a variety of contingencies: to defend a country that has been attacked, to prevent severe human rights violations such as genocide, to stop a country from supporting terrorist groups, and to restore by force a democratic government that has been overthrown.

International polls find the UN Security Council is widely seen as having not only the right, but the responsibility to authorize the use of military force to prevent severe human rights violations. Download full chapter (PDF).
In principle, large majorities around the world favor a standing peacekeeping force selected, trained, and commanded by the United Nations. Majorities in most countries want peacekeeping policy to be decided at the United Nations than decided either by national governments or by regional organizations. Download full chapter (PDF).
Majorities in the United States, European countries, and to some extent elsewhere, approve of participating in peacekeeping missions in principle. As a general rule, support is strong for participation in post-conflict situations and less consistent when it comes to intervening in civil conflict. Publics in Europe and the United States have in recent years supported participation in peacekeeping operations in the Balkans and southern Lebanon. Among other countries, support for participation in the UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon has been mixed. Download full chapter (PDF).
Most people around the world think it would be bad if the Taliban were to regain power, but views are now divided on NATO�s Afghanistan mission. A plurality favors ending the mission, but this appears to be based on a widespread belief that the Afghans want NATO to leave. Most Europeans oppose increasing combat troops above current levels, but withdrawal does not get majority support. Among Americans, reducing troop levels does not get majority support, and withdrawal is likewise rejected. Download full chapter (PDF).
Internationally, views have been mixed as to whether the United Nations has the responsibility, rather than simply the right, to intervene in Darfur. Approximately half of the countries polled expressed a readiness to contribute troops to an international force to stop the killing, and a large majority of Europeans polled expressed a readiness to contribute troops to a humanitarian operation in Darfur. Muslim countries polled expressed confidence that such an intervention could be effective. A poll of African countries expressed support for either the United Nations or the African Union intervening in a situation like Darfur. Download full chapter (PDF).
When NATO decides to take a military action, U.S. and European publics think that all NATO members should contribute troops and if not, then they should at least contribute financially (though Eastern European countries are more mixed on both of these questions). Most EU publics do not think that an EU decision to take military action creates an imperative for a member country to participate. Download full chapter (PDF).
On average, a slight majority of the publics of Cambodia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Abkhazia, Lebanon, Somalia, and Georgia said they found the peacekeeping operations in their countries in the 1990s to have been effective. Publics in the permanent members of the UN Security Council offered similar assessments. Download full chapter (PDF).

- Excellent!!!CandKDined on 9/19/2014We had the most delicious meal! Our waiter was great and the ambiance was very romantic. Would definelty recommend! Overall 5 star experience!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food but...LoveprinceofwalesDined on 9/13/2014THe food was good but I found the steak to be very bland. Otherwise very nice.Special Features:
- Pleasant mealFineDineFanDined on 9/13/2014The evening was a special dinner with my wife and I and good friend prior to a attending a Shaw Festival play. Service was prompt and staff were attentive and professional. The menu was carefully explained along with wine and other meal suggestions. Our choices were prepared as requested, pleasantly presented and more importantly, delicious. The staff were friendly and very attentive but not overbearing which allowed us to experience a relaxing meal. An excellent experience deserving a return visit.Special Features:
- Service was horriblemapleleafgirl13Dined on 9/6/2014Our waiter was not knowledgeable about the menu. When I asked him what a tostada was he said he didn't know. We asked if it was like a fajita and he nodded and said yes yes. I saw it served to another diner and it was nothing like a fajita! Our lunch also took a very long time to be served. Other diners in the section next to ours (different server) were seated after us, served, finished dining and paid the bill and left the restaurant before our lunch even hit the table. I can see that happening when the item takes a while to prepare but we only ordered the pasta. We will not be returning.
- portionsDined on 9/5/2014For the price that you pay, the portions are quite small. The restaurant is geared towards a clientele that has a bit more money to spend.Special Features:
- AnniversaryGristleDined on 9/2/2014Alec and Fred were great, gave us the service we wanted! The food was good, but my husbands strip had to much gristle and he choked on it. Mine was very good and would order it again. I do wish they would have waited to move the furniture to steam the floors until after the restaurant closed. It was our anniversary and this act did nothing for romance. The table was set beautifully and the location could not have been better. Alec and Fred made the occasion special and they were very much appreciated! Also, I don't recall the name, but the chief served an horderves before our meal that was wonderful!! Please give him our complements!Special Features:
- A Niagara-On-The Lake GemluvnycVIPDined on 8/29/2014This is THE most elegant place in Niagara-on-the-Lake which boasts many restaurants with fine dining. All elements combine for a wonderful dining experience pre or post theater. Wish Escabeche could be exported to the US!Special Features:
- Pre-theater dinnermasterolofDined on 8/29/2014Dined before theater on a Friday night. Greeting was friendly and professional; server Dan was helpful and offered good advice, especially on selecting an appropriate Ontario wine. The setting at the Prince of Wales hotel is magnificent, and the glassed-in area offered a nice vantage point for watching the activity in the street. A beautiful start to the evening.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014thank you, we had a lovely 77th Birthday celebration for my mom.Special Features:
- Awesome lunch experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014The atmosphere was great and friendly staff handled the orders. Food was extremely tasty and the portions were right for all of us. Highly recommend this place for friends and family. The view outside was spectacular and provided nice visual treat while dining.Special Features:
- Nice, but expensive!ThriftyDined on 8/15/2014The dining experience for the three of us was quite enjoyable. However, I found the prices to be inflated beyond what I am accustomed to for an evening dining experience. Who makes that kind of money these days?Special Features:
- Good Overall BUTtinysanDined on 8/7/2014The food was quite good and the service was good, with one exception. We were asked to keep a used fork, which you never expect from a class restaurant. I also noted that the windows were very dirty, especially the ones over the glassed-in front room. They had not been washed in several months! It makes one wonder about the overall cleanliness of the facility. Goodness only knows they charge enough for everything, so that they could give out clean forks and wash the windows fairly often. There are enough very good places to eat in town, so it will be a while before I return. It was our first time and we were disappointed!
- BuntzVIPDined on 8/3/2014Escabeche is one of Niagara-on-the-Lake's most elegant places to dine with very good food and service, but with correspondingly high prices. Our dinners were very good; my only complaint is that the foie gras portion, while delicious and velvety smooth, was quite small. A nice experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/3/2014From its website: "Escabèche is the perfect restaurant for diners with discerning palates and an appreciation for opulence." Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. We had lunch there; simply put, it tasted like fast food. The service started off poorly too; however, our server did recover and, when we complained about the food, she offered to give my wife something else. Since we were so disappointed, we didn't want anything else so they did take off my wife's meal, which she hardly touched, off the bill. Perhaps dinners - with the executive chef - are good. Unfortunately, based on the lunch we had, we will not be returning to try.
- mmmgood1Dined on 7/31/2014Excellent menu selection, lovely waiter, good advice on wine.....altogether a most enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- Escabeche EscapeFlyboyDined on 7/23/2014I selected the Escabeche Restaurant to introduce my granddaughter to the experience of fine dining on her birthday. I had eaten there before, and found the whole package: food, service, and ambience, to be outstanding. My granddaughter was thrilled with her food, with the patient and informative wait staff, and with the atmosphere, which hinted at opulent dining of days gone by. We were able to converse in normal tones, eat at our leisure, and celebrate her birthday in the way I had intended. Nick, our waiter, was never more than a nod away, and never intruded. The squid ink tagliatelle was exquisite, and my granddaughter's steak was perfect. On the whole a perfect evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Lunch DatePatPDined on 7/22/2014First time in Niagara on the lake and the Prince of Wales. Great ambience & scenic view. Presentation of food was phenomenal. Attention to derail amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We thoroughly enjoyed Escabeche!Liv2eatDined on 7/19/2014It is a beautiful place and the wait staff was first rate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beleive the hype!DRSabsVIPDined on 7/18/2014What a great lunch experience! We found the portions to be quite large. My wife and I started with a Charcuterie Board. We enjoyed a fantastic 2011 Jackson Triggs Grand Reserve Chardonnay that was served at the precise temperature for enjoyment. Lunch entrees were fish and chips and a Thai chicken wrap. There was no room for dessert! Juan Carlos was our server and he was great; both knowledgeable and entertaining. We thought that he was just the type of server someone would want when on vacation. TIP: Parking is hard to find, but, if you have a dining reservation at Escabeche, you can valet your vehicle at the hotel FOR FREE! No stress and the car was back in less then five minutes after the request.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/13/2014We've dined at many top restaurnats in major cities throughtout North America, Europe and some of Asia. We rank this restaurant among some of the best in all categories.Special Features:

- It was okFoodiewomanDined on 6/23/2014The tasting menu left a lot to be desired. The high tea is great. Won't stay again, mattresses are old and hard.Special Features:
- DisappointedMichaelVDined on 6/23/2014My wife and I dined here about 25 years ago and could not wait for a return visit. Unfortunately, the food was a great disappointment - especially for the price. The setting is spectacular and the service was pretty good. If you are looking for exceptional food, this isn't the place.Special Features:
- Romantic weekendNGRMANDined on 6/20/2014Great service. Local wine list was extensive. overall a great experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lived up to the hypebruncherVIPDined on 6/14/2014Amazing quality and presentation. A wonderful global wine list. A must for foodies and people looking for a high-end dining experience. We tried a number of amazing restaurants in the Niagra area and this is one of the best. Our server, Gerard, was outstanding, and certainly made the experiece one I'd like to repeat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 90 reviews are from the Escabeche - The Prince of Wales Hotel reviews archive.
- Great Food!foodDined on 5/31/2014I booked the Prince of Wales hotel for a birthday gift for my husband, after having problems initially with booking a package with Prince of Wales, the food made up for our issues. The suggested 2011 Cabernet wine from Chateau des Charmes was just right for our meals. The Roasted white onion soup and cauliflower bisque were spectacular! For our second course, we had the Potatoe gnocchi the beef tenderloin. It was also great! We finished the meal off with their creme brûlée and their house made ice-cream. Although I didn't enjoy the ice cream much, I really enjoyed their creme brûlée and the detail put into it. I would definitely come back again for this fantastic meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/31/2014Saturday dinner was excellent. However, most of the dishes during the Sunday buffet brunch were cold.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good, not greatoperaloverDined on 5/27/2014For the prices it charges, Escabeche should do better. The food is good to very good but some distance from outstanding. The serving staff is cheerful but under-trained. The crowd watching the hockey game in the nearby bar was loud and occasionally distracting. The space is a very agreeable one, but I remember enjoying it more when I was last here a couple of years ago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EscabecheonmyownDined on 5/21/2014I loved it. The only problem was the group of 40 or so (women) talking. You know how that can be. I asked if I could move to a quieter spot and was immediately moved to one. Problem solved.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Escabeche - Dinner PlaceABP123Dined on 5/18/2014Hello, My husband and I had dinner here. The food was gourmet and delicious. And our waiter was very attentive. The prices are high but well worth it.Special Features:
- friendly and knowledgeable stafffoodieDined on 5/17/2014We had a lovely dinner. We were a party of four, the lamb shank is highly recommended. Chicken breath was very flavourful, but would have preferred vegetables with the dish. Staff was very knowledgeable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day Brunch BuffetProudofmomVIPDined on 5/11/2014The restaurant did an excellent job to cope with their Mother's Day brunch theme. Once my mom and I walked in the restaurant reception, we were greeted with several friendly and cheerful faces by saying "Happy Mother's Day" to my mom. We were both given a mini pot of roses when we were paying the bill. This really made our days:) As to the buffet food, I would not say it was excellent but well worth what we paid for $38 per person. There were roast beef, roast turkey, French toasts, egg benedict, sausages, bacons, omelettes, pasta, hot soup, smoke meats, smoke salmon, salads, fresh fruits, breads, croissants, etc., and of course variety of desserts. The restaurant arranged a musician playing harp during part of the brunch. Cool!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old Town - Niagara-on-the-LakeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/10/2014We took my Mother there for lunch on Saturday, the day before Mother's Day. It was a great experience. My Mother was very impressed and enjoyed this higher class restaurant that she is use to. The food was great and the service was outstanding. We will plan to return to this restaurant soon again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinneroakwoodgalDined on 4/27/2014The food, except for the rather blah endive salad, was excellent. The waiter was very helpful, and served very well. He was conscientious without being intrusive. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Martin Longley stays up past your bedtime to report on late night happenings in the city that never sleeps.
Ensemble musikFabrik Avery Fisher Hall July 20, 2013 Karlheinz Stockhausen and Sun Ra must surely vie for the stellar position of most cosmically attuned composer within the bounds of the omniverse. Stockhausen's Licht is arguably his major work, at least in terms of sheer scale. It's a seven-day-long operatic cycle that its composer must have been relieved to complete before his demise. This performance of Michael's Reise Um Die Erde (Michael's Journey Around The World)" is a mere fragment when set beside the whole sprawl, lasting only around an hour. It's the second, ...read more
Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri The Rubin Museum Of Art June 7, 2013 This was the first in a three-part series where the Rubin's acoustic-only theatre was taken over by artists from the ECM label, all of them celebrating the release of new albums. It was an ideal situation for Lucian Ban (piano) and Mat Maneri (viola) to commune in intimate no-microphone fashion with the museum's always attentive Friday night audience. The candles were on the tables, the lighting was suitably dimmed. The Transylvanian Concert (ECM, 2013) disc was recorded live ...read more
Boris(le) Poisson RougeMay 6, 2013 It's hard to corral Boris into a metal-generic corner. Whilst this Tokyo trio's prime reputation revolves around a spiraling psychedelic ascension, it is just as likely to get grubby and direct, or even poppy and spangled. This Poisson show was the first of two nights, dedicated to a general 20-year career overview. The second evening was destined to reproduce a specific album, Flood (MIDI Creative, 2000), and to concentrate on the abstracted drone facet of the Boris output. The first night was sold out, but the Poisson never packs ...read more
Spiritualized Secret Project Robot April 2, 2013 The English cosmo-psychedelic drugsludge-rock combo Spiritualized would usually be expected to play at one of NYC's larger venues, such as Terminal 5 or Webster Hall. Just prior to their U.S. West Coast dates, Spiritualized suddenly announced a micro-gig, leaking the news on the morning of the show after rehearsing locally in preparation for the tour. Secret Project Robot is a small d.i.y. joint in the heart of the industrial wasteland of Bushwick, in Brooklyn (only a few weeks ago, its original Williamsburg building was ...read more
The Luis Bonilla Quintet Dizzy's Club March 19, 2013 For two nights only, trombonist Luis Bonilla brought his quintet to Dizzy's Club. The first set on the first evening launched off into an assured blast of convoluted style amalgamation. Many might view Bonilla as a Latin jazz specialist because of his Costa Rican background, but the Californian 'bone man bandleader's version of jazz skirts many different zones, usually within each individual composition. Opening with some sleazily slurred blues, the combo switched to ballad mood, transforming into a funk feel, with pianist Bruce Barth ...read more
Alash Carnegie Hall February 16, 2013 Carnegie Hall's late-night weekend series of shows always have a livelier atmosphere than their earlier 8:00 p.m. concerts. Typically a gig will begin down in the subterranean Zankel Hall at 10:00 p.m., continuing until almost midnight. It always seems as if the audience is geared up with energies already accumulated during their night's earlier activities. The only potential negative side effect of this situation is the increased likelihood of an early leave-taking minority. The appearance of Alash, a Tuvan trio of throat-singing minstrels, represented one of Carnegie's ...read more
The Ivo Perelman Quartet The Stone January 30, 2013 The leader of this quartet is actually its least-known member, outside of the hardcore free jazz zone. This gig arrived towards the conclusion of a fortnight's curation at The Stone by Joe Morris, who played upright bass for Brazilian tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman. The other members were pianist Matthew Shipp and drummer Gerald Cleaver. An impressive combination of players, even before their first notes were sent running. Microphones were strategically placed, and maybe this set will be publicly released one day. That would be ...read more
Barry Altschul Roulette January 8, 2013 Another 70th birthday to celebrate, another musician who commands the appearance and vitality of a much younger player. New York drummer Barry Altschul actually hit 70 two days before this celebratory gig at Roulette. The long-established experimental music venue is now settling in at its newer Brooklyn space very well. There's a sense that the joint has stabilized and refined itself as a performing space, in terms of its sound, light and acoustic qualities. Altschul elected to combine his birthday party with an album ...read more
Arto Lindsay New Museum November 30, 2012 Right from the outset, singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay appeared uncomfortable about the framing for this gig in the New Museum on the Bowery. He'd been involved in one of the current exhibitions upstairs, documenting the art scene in that area (Come Closer: Art Around The Bowery, 1969-1989). Much of the music erupting from that vivid scene would have typically inhabited some grimy, graffiti-covered, beer-swillin,' vomit-coated, dimly-lit joint, rather than this gleamingly white, blank-spaced, glare-lit gallery. Well, at least Lindsay's one-man show was down in the ...read more
Henry Cole & The Afrobeat Collective 92Y Tribeca May 30, 2012 The Checkout is a monthly live broadcast for the WBGO radio station, presented by DJ Josh Jackson. The deal down at 92Y Tribeca always involves two formidable combos, often featuring a very familiar act coupled with a surging fresh presence on the scene. As the red light of live" winks on, the night is governed by the demands of a tight start to the proceedings. Admission is usually reasonably priced, and the bar features some exciting special offers. Even though 92Y's location ...read more
Lee Konitz / Dan Tepfer Jazz Standard March 21, 2012 An improvising dialogue has been steadily developing between veteran alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and recently emerging pianist Dan Tepfer. Konitz is 84, Tepfer is 30. It's already been three years since their collaborative album on the Sunnyside label , 2009's Duets With Lee. The relationship continues, its aim a flowing exploration, but there's nearly always a tune at the core, often one with a deeply established substance. This was a one-nighter, with just two sets, so it was no surprise that the Standard ...read more
Thurston Moore The Allen Room February 2, 2012 It's impossible to escape the aura of respectable tradition that surrounds Lincoln Center's annual American Songbook series. The very concept evokes an established Broadway-and-beyond form that lies at the heart of U.S. popular music. The majority of the artists presented in Jazz At Lincoln Center's Allen Room hail from the mainstream, whether it be jazz, cabaret, country or pop, but the series has regularly encouraged a slightly subversive element, where representatives from the alternative rock world are invited to tread the boards of NYC's most ...read more
Sean Noonan & Pavees Dance The Douglass Street Music Collective December 15, 2011 It might seem as though drummer/composer Sean Noonan was enjoying a quiet year in 2011, playing fewer gigs than usual. The reality is that he's been busy scribing new works, in preparation for a twin album onslaught in 2012. He's also planning an extensive reissue drive for his existing catalogue. Six months ago, Noonan played at The Stone with his Boxing Dreams String Quartet. Just as it sounds, that involved Noonan's drumming together with a more aggressive than usual ring ...read more
The Dave Douglas/Donny McCaslin Key Motion Quintet Jazz Standard December 8, 2011 This was the first of four Dave Douglas nights at the Jazz Standard, each of them highlighting a different performance perspective. The unexpected has become the expected where this high-wire trumpeter is concerned. Douglas is perpetually scouting for fresh settings, new musical concepts and unfamiliar terrain where he's able to stretch his abilities, to heighten an already fearsome virtuosity and communicative playing passion. Three out of the four combos were premiering unexplored parameters. The second evening teamed Douglas with the new ...read more

It's that time of year again: Another JLC Live Residential Construction Show takes place in Providence, Rhode Island March 19 through March 22 at the Rhode Island Convention Center.
New on the program this year is a hands-on workshop from Simpson Strong-Tie experts Donald Simon and Charlie Roesset about wall bracing in the International Residential Code, one of the most vexing and perplexing issues in the code for builders trying to get up to speed with changing code versions. For details, see the JLC Live session description: "Brace Yourself... It's the Big One: Code Compliant Wall Bracing and Load Path Solutions."
A little background: Requirements for framing depend on the official design wind speed in the location where you're building—which is typically higher if you're nearer to the ocean. If the wind speed is 120 mph, your problem is simple: You need an engineer to design the building. If the wind speed is only 110 mph, you don't—you can design from the prescriptive tables in the building code. For more on the prescriptive method, check out "Bracing Walls for Wind" by Ted Cushman (JLC July 2013).
Where's the line between 120 mph and 110 mph? Well, in Rhode Island, for example, the line is US Route 1. Build on one side of the highway, and you need an engineer. Build across the road, and you don't—you can look up the answers yourself in the code book.
But that assumes that you understand the code book. And even if you do, the code book offers more than a half-dozen different ways to accomplish the same thing, each with its own set of costs and jobsite practical considerations.
Simpson Strong-Tie's Simon and Roesset say they're offering a class that lets builders try out a few of those options in the classroom, not just to learn how it's done, but for a chance to compare the pros and cons of some different approaches. Don Simon told JLC, "The audience will participate by actually installing 3 different methods of resisting lateral and uplift loads, and frame two different narrow garage wall portals, one with a site-built prescriptive solution and one with a prefabricated solution." An added bonus for contractors from Massachusetts: the state recognizes the class for three credit hours that meet the continuing education requirement for licensed contractors.

With the growing cellular bandwidth, maybe your phone can join a botnet too?
Subject: General Tech | August 24, 2012 - 09:50 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: symantec, 4g, cell phone, fud
While this could be a bid to convince people that they need to purchase an anti-virus product for their phones, it is also possible that the increase in bandwidth expected from the roll out of 4G in North America could lead to increased attacks on phones. If Windows 7.5 and 8 become popular, it is reasonable to assume that phones running those OSes will be vulnerable to the same types of attacks that would infect their desktop equivalents. Now that phones often sport four cores, sometimes with a companion, they actually have enough processing power that they might worth infecting especially with the added bandwidth that would be available to them. Take a peek at The Inquirer and see if you think this is a valid concern or just an attempt to sell Norton Cellular Protector.
"THE ROLLOUT OF 4G later this year could give way for more high-risk mobile security implications, Symantec has warned.
Speaking to The INQUIRER in an exclusive interview today, the firm's security strategist, Sian John said that threats such as botnets seen in popular desktop operating systems such as Windows could start shifting to mobile devices due 4G's new capabilities."

Symantec users beware

It took 5 years and a threat by a hacker group for Symantec to admit that they were successfully hacked and source code to some of their software was stolen. As the threat was never delivered upon it is possible that the hacker group may have had nothing to do with the original hack but were more interested in having Symantec admit to the breach. Current Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition, Norton Internet Security or Norton Systemworks users should not worry, the source code is so old that possessing it will not give you the ability to affect current software. PC Anywhere users on the other hand might be at increased risk if they left the installation on default settings; according to The Inquirer Symantec will be contacting PC Anywhere customers to ensure they know about the attack and how to change their settings to minimize any risks.
"SECURITY VENDOR Symantec has admitted that its servers were successfully hacked and Norton antivirus and other software source code was stolen.
At the beginning of this month the firm acknowledged that some of its source code was obtained from a third party but said that would not affect Norton antivirus users. However, it now admits that an attack in 2006 obtained source code for other software, which could put its customers at risk."

Works Great, unstable with wheels

Oneida Molded Dust Deputy Kit With Two 5-Gallon Plastic Buckets
I use the Dust Deputy with a wall mounted shop-vac. The Dust Deputy is free standing on the floor beneath the vac. With the wheels attached exactly as per instructions, the Dust Deputy attached to the buckets is highly unstable an easily falls over. This is primarily because of the heavy, mostly inflexible hose connecting the shop-vac to the Dust Deputy. I must use it without the wheels and sitting flat on the floor which means I have ruined the second bucket by drilling holes in it. It does work superbly in collecting dust & wood chips exactly as advertised.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Modify It - Then It Works As Intended
Gerald B. Curtis
To begin, nothing negative I will say here should reflect on Woodcraft. When I had a problem with this Oneida Dust Deputy Kit, even after it was out of warranty (Way too short 90 days, BTW IMHO.), Woodcraft offered to replace a faultily designed hose connector and the hose.
The problem with this unit as Oneida insists it must be used, is that the supplied hose is shown in the instructions connected in a way that will not only stress the hose connector and make the collection bucket top-heavy if not attached to a shop vacuum, it makes presumptively poor use of the supplied hose, thus relegating the hose of the shop vacuum to NO use with this collection system.
Assembled and installed as shown in Oneida's directions, requires you to buy a SECOND hose to complete the connection to your dust-generating tool.
If you can, and most times you WILL be able to make use of your shop vacuum hose, you should use its hose to connect to the TOP of the cyclone using a supplied right-angle connector, and use Oneida's supplied hose to go from the side inlet port of the cyclone to the dust-generating tool.
I have included a photo of the Oneida setup as intended by them, and a photo of my modified setup that makes efficient use of supplied components and works excellently, as intended, without putting stress on any component.
Note the use of a supplied commercial elbow, able to take the stress of a slip-fit connection without splitting as the Oneida-supplied hose adapter did. It was fixed with a personally-supplied hose clamp.
Note, too, that the right-angle connector used as I have, eliminates the awkward connection at the top of the cyclone that will stress ANY hose unnecessarily.

Oneida hose goes to the saw. Vac hose to the top.
Using Product
You should probably get one of these.
Kevin in Austin
Austin, TX
Had everything assembled and functional in about ten minutes, and since then can't imagine life without it (until I upgrade to a proper dust collector). It's rare to find a product that performs so well. Suction has remained good after filling several buckets, and the new shop-vac filter that I bought concurrently remains fairly clean. As an added bonus, you might find that you are able to install a higher quality filter, as clogging will be much less of an issue going forward.
Performance is compelling enough that I've even hooked it up to my power planer (portable 13"). While this is clearly beyond the intended capabilities of the Oneida and my vacuum, the combo appears to have no trouble clearing chips from boards up to 6" wide. That's as far as I've gotten with that test.
Like some Swedish furniture, the Oneida should last a long time if you're not too rough with it. It's all plastic, so be careful. The only con that comes to mind is the price. I'd imagine that this is a pretty high-margin product, given that there's really only a single custom part, plus a couple of buckets, a hose, and some cheap wheels. That said, I've seen it on sale, and it has made my 12 gallon shop-vac feel adequate again. For that, I am eternally thankful.
Good Dust Collector for a Shop Vac
Papa Charles
Menard, TX
I have waited to do a review until I had used the dust collector for a few months. I have been very impressed with the cyclone. I use it on my miter saw, bandsaw, and orbital sander. It have noticed a drastic reduction in fine sawdust. I did not attach the bucket to my shop vacuum, but will either connect it to my vacuum or build a cart that will hold both and make it easier to empty the bucket.
Dust Deputy Magic
Germantown, Wi
I have seen video's on You Tube that were a prank but this is not one of then.
I purchased my Dust Deputy from Woodcraft for easy return if it did not work. I still have it and won't give it up.
I create a lot of saw dust, wood shavings and sanding dust.
You still need to clean the filter ocasionally from the fine dust.
I still can't believe it.
Dust Deputy Rikon and Shopsmith
Levier Fine Writing Instruments
Windsor On Canada
The Combination of the Oneida Dust Deputy with the Rikon Dust Extractor
Is like Batman and Robin
Efficient, Great Power, Low Maintenance and better yet high performance
With Woodworking tool including the Shopsmith Mark V
Your first project will be the mounting of the Oneida Dust Deputy to your shopvac
And you need to add a support for the plastic lid because the pressure and weight of the system
Will dame it very quickly
The $100 price tag might look high but at the long run is cheaper you will spend this money on replacement the filter
Of your Rikon or any other shop vac
In my setup I can see that 99% of all heavy particles are sent to the secondary container and only the
Very fine dust is trapped on the filter of the Vacuum.
Incredible to see the a clean Vacuum and all the derbies properly directed to the secondary container
By the action of a vortex of the Dust Deputy
Your Shopsmith or any other Vacuum will never loose suction power…because it will never get any
Shavings, dirt and other materials used in your shop
If you are looking for a complete setup for our shop the Oneida Dust Deputy in combination Rikon Dust Extractor
And the Woodriver remote control will turn your shop into a clean room dust free working environment
Spokane Valley, WA
We bought one Oneida dust deputy kit for my wood carving studio but my husband loves it so much he won't let go of it. I now must purchase another for me.
Best shop addition yet.
Jared C.
Maryville, TN
This thing is awesome. period.
It separates out almost everything dust-wise that I can suck up with my shop-vac. Almost NOTHING gets past it into the body of the vacuum. I've used it daily for the past month, and only had to clean my filter one time, just for good measure. It wasn't even that dirty, just felt like I needed to do it. It can really hog up the dust too, My band-saw doesn't have a proper dust collection attachment, but only has a large box (shoe box size) at the bottom for the dust to pool, so there's a large quantity of dust in there most of the time, all it takes is a few seconds with the shop vac to have it spotless. The only thing that can make it into the vacuum is the occasional long strip from a hand plane or piece of paper towel.
Sure, you can buy the cyclone by itself, but then you gotta do the run-around to find a sealing material, hardware to attach it to your vac, casters, buckets, OR, you buy the kit and be done with it, using it in about 20 minutes. In the same vein, you could build one, BUT, again, this thing is a performer, and unless you're just into aerodynamics and tuning of cyclones, you'll never match the ability of this thing.
Worth while purchase
Vidalia, GA
I use this to vacuum up wood chips and saw dust. It really saves on shop vac filters. I did not attach it to the shop vac because it made the assembly to cumbersome to pull around the shop. So, I keep the units separate. In this mode it tipped over easily. So I mounted the bottom bucket to a 12"x12" piece of plywood and mounted four casters on the plywood. (3 are supplied) That worked fine. Great addition to the shop.
Works exactly as advertised.
John Kraft
Columbia, MO
This thing works fantastically! Aside from my table saw, it's probably the best purchase I've made for my wood shop. Only a very small amount of dust (and one Styrofoam peanut) have made it past this thing. I've filled the 5 gallon bucket probably 4 times since I got it, and the amount of dust and debris that have made it to the my shop vac are almost unnoticeable; less than 1/16 inch deep in the shop vac.
The only thing that I could see that would make this thing better was if it were made of a little bit thicker/stiffer plastic. Also, the lid for the buckets that come with the kit are very flimsy; but that has nothing to do with the Dust Deputy itself.

A while back, I posted a query on favourite uses for curry and from the responses I learned that the typical "curry powder" that's sold in grocery stores is more of a catch-all/mass-produced thing and that traditionally, curry-oriented cultures see to it that a different spice mix is applied to each dish - there generally are no "one size fits all" curries per se.
Well, I think that my tastes are evolving. I started out making my curried mutton stew by using the supermarket mix, which contains undisclosed ingredients but which I suspect is essentially tumeric, cumin and some ground hot red pepper (though the heat is quite low). Lately, I've been using less of that prefabricated mix and opting to up the cumin, to the proportion of 50/50 (cumin & curry mix). I rather like the edge that cumin gives the mutton and the stew in general, though I love the bright neon-yellow colour imparted by the tumeric. I suspect that as time goes on, I will want to add other spices as well, though I'm not quite there yet.
A friend of mine once invited me over for traditional Jamaican oxtail, and in it he used a store-bought masala of some kind, which was more of a dull beige colour - wish I knew what the key ingredient in that was. I liked it in any case.

Mercola: Evidence Against Soy
The Evidence Against Soy
Dow Chemical and DuPont, the same corporations that brought misery and death to millions around the world through Agent Orange, are now the driving forces behind the promotion of soy as a food for humans. They are financing anti-meat and anti-milk campaigns aimed largely at those concerned about animal welfare and the environment, trying to convince them that imitations such as "soymilk" are not only healthier than the real thing, but better for the earth too.
There is no evidence that consuming soy products can improve health, reduce environmental degradation or slow global warming. In fact, the evidence suggests quite the opposite.
The studies below regarding the effects of soy on health are eye-opening, particularly the review by the American Heart Association — which no longer supports the health claims about soy endorsed by the U.S. government.

New York • Jazz guard Raja Bell said it's non-negotiable.
If Utah attacks from the opening tip, then plays with passion and energy for 48 minutes, a team stuck between rebuilding through youth and riding its veteran horses has a legitimate chance to win any contest it plays.
If the Jazz don't — if they walk through plays, take precious game minutes for granted and expect ailing opponents to simply give way during a lockout-shortened season — they will pay a heavy price. Games will be lost, defeats will pile up and a squad that began the year surprising the NBA will soon be on the bottom, looking up.
That's where the Jazz ended Monday at Madison Square Garden. Knicks guard Jeremy Lin was the one-night MVP of New York City, and Utah scored 22 points or less in three of four quarters on its way to a humbling 99-88 defeat.
"We can't afford to get away with some of those things that other teams might be able to get away with on a night and just be able to outscore someone to get back in it," Bell said. "We have to hang our hat on doing [the right] things."
Al Jefferson's 22 points topped the Jazz (13-10), who committed 31 fouls and 20 turnovers while continuing to struggle from the 3-point line, shooting just 18.2 percent (2 of 11).
Coach Tyrone Corbin appeared more frustrated after the loss than he's been since Utah started the season 1-3, with all three losses coming via road blowouts. Key veterans such as Earl Watson and Bell were even more tense.
Bell said Utah doesn't have enough starpower and is too young to simply mess around, acknowledging he's seen slippage as the team has lost three of four games and six of 10. Watson was equally direct, saying a Jazz team still searching for its identity has a more pressing issue to deal with.
"We've [gotten] to the point of the season where our accountability has got to start growing. Our accountability has got to go to another level. It can't stay the same," Watson said. "If it stays the same, teams are going to pass us.
"Sometimes it's tough when you want to do something special and it's time for accountability. … But that's a part of life and it's part of maturing and it's a part of accomplishing amazing things in this sport, and that's what we have to get to as a whole."
There was little accountability by the Jazz on Monday. And after Lin electrified MSG by dropping in a career- and game-high 28 points in the same contest Knicks All-NBA forward Carmelo Anthony left just 5 minutes, 49 seconds into the first quarter due to a right groin strain, almost everybody inside Utah's locker room was slumped while heads hung low once the media was allowed inside.
No Melo, no Amar'e Stoudemire (personal reasons) and no win?
Watson paused and sighed while staring straight ahead.
"Major missed opportunity," he said.
A 35-point third quarter gave the Jazz life, and Utah pulled within 80-78 with 9:14 to go. But the speedy, shifty and fearless Lin had just gotten started.
Making his starting debut for New York (10-15) one game after scoring a then-career-high 25 points Saturday against New Jersey, the Golden State castoff burned the Jazz for 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting during a fourth quarter that saw the Knicks outscore Utah 24-15. Lin hit two 3-pointers and converted two three-point plays during the period, dancing inside The World's Most Famous Arena while the Jazz fell backward.
"Basketball is fun when you play on a team that wants to work together, work through tough times and have victories like this one," Lin said.
No one in Jazzland believes it's time to panic. But with a 16-7 Indiana team waiting Wednesday, 18-5 Oklahoma City on the schedule Friday and an imposing slate of road games on the horizon, Bell also knows Utah doesn't have time to waste.
"We have relapses. … That's the reality of it," Bell said. "If we're going to sugarcoat it as a team, we're never going to understand the severity of it. We just need to get back to doing [the right things]. We've done them. We just need to get back to it."
Notes • Utah reserve point guard Jamaal Tinsley won't travel with the team to Indiana. Tinsley, who is from Brooklyn, will remain in New York to deal with a family-related matter.
