Taxpayers pay more under Walker Medicaid plan
Madison - If the federal government keeps its current commitments, Gov. Scott Walker's plan for avoiding a full expansion of the BadgerCare program under the federal health care law would cost Wisconsin taxpayers roughly $250 million more through 2020, under preliminary estimates by the Legislature's nonpartisan budget office.
In addition to lower state costs, the full expansion of the Medicaid health program would also cover tens of thousands more people than the Republican governor's proposal.
But either way, there will be substantial costs for federal taxpayers as more people gain health coverage. »Read Full Article(377)
Scott Walker to back limited but not full expansion of BadgerCare
Madison - Gov. Scott Walker will not pursue a full expansion of the state's BadgerCare program as foreseen under the federal health care law, seeking instead a more limited expansion of coverage.
A source familiar with the proposal confirmed some of the broad outlines of the proposal on Medicaid health programs that Walker is expected to make at an event Wednesday afternoon in Madison. The decision will have far-ranging effects on whether and how tens of thousands of Wisconsinites receive health coverage, whether state taxpayers will have to cover tens of millions of dollars of that cost, and how much the state will receive in the coming years out of the billions of dollars in possible federal money to assist the expansion.
Christian Schneider, who writes The Yankee Review blog as part of the Journal Sentinel opinion page's Purple Wisconsin project, cited anonymous sources Tuesday in first reporting that Walker will propose taking a middle path in dealing with the health programs in his budget bill being introduced on Feb. 20. »Read Full Article(191)

The baby was taken to a hospital with facial injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening and the woman remained in custody late Tuesday, police said.
Tammy Baldwin on State of the Union speech
"Tonight President Obama spoke directly to the American people about the need to put progress ahead of partisan politics. I was pleased to hear the President make a strong case for growing the economy, strengthening our middle class, and moving our country forward. President Obama made clear the path we must take to build broad based economic growth and reduce our deficit without shortchanging our future. I applaud President Obama for renewing our commitment to creating a "Made in America" economy by investing in job training and job readiness for advanced manufacturing.
In order to compete with the rest of the world and create shared prosperity, we need to invest in innovation, science and research, and a 21st century American infrastructure, putting people to work rebuilding our roads, bridges and ports. I was particularly pleased to hear the President engage the American people to take a path forward that makes sure our budget reflects our values and priorities.
As President Obama said tonight, in order to build a strong middle class we must make it a priority to invest in education, with a focus on early education and affordable higher education for student and families, so we open the doors of opportunity to every child and equip hard working people with the skills they need to get ahead and realize their dreams."

"Last year, the American people chose divided government. So this year, both parties have to make it work. We need to make progress on real solutions. We need to strengthen our economy. And we need to create jobs-because if we don't, we'll have a diminished future.
"We need to balance the budget. Otherwise, we'll provoke a debt crisis. Our finances will collapse. The economy will stall. And the most vulnerable will suffer. Instead, we have to budget responsibly-so we can expand opportunity for everyone in this country. »Read Full Article(19)

Republican Party of Wisconsin reacts to Obama's State of the Union address
Republican Party of Wisconsin Executive Director Joe Fadness released the following statement following President Barack Obama's State of the Union address:
"Regrettably, President Obama demonstrated an unwillingness to address the real issues facing our country including more than $16 trillion in debt, out-of-control spending, skyrocketing gas prices, and a misguided and mishandled attempt at health care reform. The result is a weaker middle class and an economy on the brink of failure. The American people deserve solutions to the problems facing our country, not more empty rhetoric." (40)

Scott Walker responds to State of the Union address
Gov. Scott Walker released the following statement in response to President Obama's State of the Union Address:
"It's disappointing that tonight's State of the Union Address glossed over the serious fiscal problems facing our nation and failed to deliver an honest plan for real reform in America.
"In Wisconsin, we faced our challenges head on and implemented reforms that eliminated a $3.6 billion deficit and created a healthy surplus without raising taxes. We're developing our workforce, creating jobs and lowering our unemployment rate. Real reform is happening on the state level; but in order to move our country forward, President Obama can no longer ignore the overwhelming economic troubles looming over our nation. Enacting Wisconsin-like reforms will move our economy forward and put American families first." (36)
Obama lays out ambitious agenda in State of the Union
Washington - Laying out an ambitious postelection agenda, President Barack Obama said Tuesday his goal was to reignite a "rising, thriving middle class" and vowed to invest in economic growth without adding to the deficit.
"It is our unfinished task to make sure that this government works on behalf of the many, and not just the few; that it encourages free enterprise, rewards individual initiative and opens the doors of opportunity to every child across this great nation," said Obama in the first State of the Union address of his second term.
While promising "balanced" deficit reduction, the president said, "deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan. A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs - that must be the North Star that guides our efforts." »Read Full Article(615)
Experts differ on cause of death
The Milwaukee County assistant medical examiner who changed the manner of Derek Williams' death in his report from "natural" to "homicide" was told by his boss it would be a good idea to look for another job, according to testimony in an inquest hearing Tuesday.
Also Tuesday, differing medical opinions about the cause and manner of Williams' death in the back of a Milwaukee police squad car surfaced, with outside experts saying they did not see enough evidence to support the local finding that Williams died from a sickle cell crisis due to his interaction with police; Milwaukee pathologists stood by their ruling.
The day was dominated by complicated medical testimony and a debate within medical circles over whether someone who carries the sickle trait - but does not have the disease - can suffer a sudden death as a result of that trait. There was no consensus, and that may be important as the jury of six considers whether criminal charges are appropriate against police officers involved in Williams' arrest. »Read Full Article(81)

Sources: Walker's Medicaid plan would expand coverage
Gov. Scott Walker has decided to decline federal funds that would have allowed the state to expand Medicaid coverage, sources in his administration say.
Walker is right to do this.
Last week, legislative Democrats urged the governor to participate in the Medicaid expansion program created under the Affordable Care Act, arguing that it would allow Wisconsin access to "free" federal money. According to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau, Wisconsin would be eligible for $4.38 billion in federal aid until 2020 under the plan, with the state picking up an increasing share as the program moves forward. »Read Full Article(55)
County should consolidate services, report says
Milwaukee County should sell or tear down unneeded or deteriorated buildings and group core services at the courthouse complex, according to findings of a consultant study released Tuesday.
By consolidating operations and getting rid of inefficient buildings, the county could save up to $4 million a year in operating costs, the report by commercial real estate firm CBRE says. Combined savings from efficiency and revenue from selling unneeded assets could reach $140 million or more over the next two decades, the 372-page report says.
The $450,000 report says prime candidates for demolishing and selling or redeveloping include the Mental Health Complex and the Child and Adolescent Treatment Center on the County Grounds in Wauwatosa; City Campus at 2711 W. Wells St.; the medical examiner's office downtown; and the Kelly Nutrition and Senior Center, 5400 S. Lake Drive. »Read Full Article(21)

After nearly 90 years in the automotive business, Salentine Buick in Muskego has closed, the third-generation family owners of the business said Tuesday.

Town of Waukesha demanding too much water, city says
The Town of Waukesha is demanding too much water from the City of Waukesha as a condition for participating in a proposed future water service area, a critical boundary in Waukesha's request for Lake Michigan water, City Administrator Ed Henschel said Tuesday.
The service area and projections of water demand must be resolved before state environmental officials can determine whether the city's application complies with a Great Lakes protection compact.
In a letter emailed Tuesday to Town Chairman Angie Van Scyoc, Henschel says a recent decision to include a northern portion of the town in the city's service area was flawed and needs to be reconsidered. »Read Full Article(8)

Humane Society of U.S. sues to restore wolf protection
Minneapolis - The Humane Society of the United States and other animal welfare groups filed a lawsuit Tuesday to restore federal protections for gray wolves in the western Great Lakes region that were lifted last year.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in the District of Columbia against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and its parent agency, the U.S. Department of the Interior, said the decision to take wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan off the endangered list threatens the animals' recovery throughout most of their historic range. At one time, the animals roamed nearly all of North America.
The Humane Society of the United States provided a copy of the lawsuit to The Associated Press before its public announcement in the afternoon. The other plaintiffs include Born Free USA, Help Our Wolves Live and Friends of Animals and Their Environment. »Read Full Article(4)

Billboard is estimating the album will have bowed at No. 2 on the charts with possibly 100,000 units sold, making "Freedom" McGraw's 15th top 10 album. »Read Full Article(10)

Kate Middleton (WPA Pool/Getty Images)
Ever since the 31-year-old royal announced her pregnancy, there have been countless headlines touting photos of her "baby bump." And while our vision isn't 20/20 like Justin Timberlake's, we didn't see much of anything by way of bumpin' … but we do now!
[Related: Stars Expecting in 2013]
On Sunday, the mom-to-be attended the National Review of Queen's Scouts, an event honoring the achievements of scouts, at Windsor Castle. Looking smart and fashionable in a green Mulberry coat, a brown Whiteley fascinator, and her favorite nude L.K. Bennett heels, it wasn't just her outfit people were checking out -- all eyes were on her protruding belly.
[Related: Celebrity Babies Born in 2013]
Yes, she officially has a bump, which was made more prominent as she stood almost framing it with her hands.
Prince William's wife -- who is a trained scout volunteer (and wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty during an outing with the organization last month) -- was also all pink-cheeked and glowing as she talked to the young British honorees. It was a far cry from how Middleton began her pregnancy – with acute morning sickness.
Middleton and the prince are expecting their little one this July, the same month Kim Kardashian is due. However, the two famous women couldn't be more different, with Kanye West's girlfriend stepping out in sheer tops and tweeting photos of her bare pregnancy belly.
As you can see, that is not exactly Middleton's style … and one of the many reasons we adore her.

Yesterday, PAN joined United Farm Workers (UFW) for part of their 13-day, 200-mile pilgrimage to Sacramento, demanding fair policies for farmworkers.
About 20 people affliliated with PAN, including Co-Director Kathryn Gilje, joined the march for workers' rights yesterday morning on a stretch of highway between Lodi and Galt. "Peak fumigation season in California's strawberry fields is just a few weeks away," she said. "Governor Brown should follow the science, ensure fair treatment for farmworkers and take immediate steps to pull methyl iodide off the shelves."
In last week's Atlantic, Barry Estabrook shines a light on the horrific story of pesticides and farmworker families in Florida's Lake Apopka. Thousands in the small African American community suffer from myriad maladies including kidney failure and a rate of birth defects that is 4 times greater than in other Florida towns.
The response? Florida governor Rick Scott blatantly turns a blind eye, vetoing an allocation of $500,000 to investigate the birth defects. What was he thinking?
Nearly 2 million U.S. farmworkers make up the backbone of our agricultural economy, performing some of the most demanding manual labor in any economic sector. Farmworkers are also some of the least protected, experiencing a rate of pesticide poisoning 39 times higher than that found in all other industries combined.
This month Pesticide Action Network joins other farmworker advocates in urging EPA to reduce these over-the-top rates of pesticide-related illness by ensuring that farmworkers have access to basic safety information — in a language they can read.
Who'd have thought? United Farmworkers (UFW) and the California Farm Bureau Federation (CFBF) are on the same side of the table when it comes to farm labor and immigration reform. Since 2007 the Farm Bureau has been supporting and promoting AgJobs — a compromise bill negotiated by farmworker leaders and farmers.
This month CFBF took their message to Washington, D.C. to argue against introduction of E-Verify, a mandatory electronic verification program to determine an employee's eligibility for employment. E-Verify, the Bureau claims, would lead to the collapse of the agricultural industry. UFW agrees.
May has been a good month for farmworker advocates across the country — a fitting celebration of international labor day, celebrated on May 1st around the world. From California to Oregon to Florida, several hard-won and important victories deserve recognition.
Here in California, we're celebrating a legislative victory moving the Fair Treatment for Farmworkers Act to the governor's desk. Thanks to our California supporters for your calls to Sacramento; you helped keep this important bill moving. We'll keep you posted on the outcome.

Interpretive Handbook
8448 :
Magnesium, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Magnesium along with potassium is a major intracellular cation. Magnesium is a cofactor of many enzyme systems. All adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent enzymatic reactions require magnesium as a cofactor. Approximately 70% of magnesium ions are stored in bone. The remainder is involved in intermediary metabolic processes; about 70% is present in free form while the other 30% is bound to proteins (especially albumin), citrates, phosphate, and other complex formers. The serum magnesium level is kept constant within very narrow limits. Regulation takes place mainly via the kidneys, primarily via the ascending loop of Henle.
Conditions that interfere with glomerular filtration result in retention of magnesium and hence elevation of serum concentrations. Hypermagnesemia is found in acute and chronic renal failure, magnesium overload, and magnesium release from the intracellular space. Mild-to-moderate hypermagnesemia may prolong atrioventricular conduction time. Magnesium toxicity may result in central nervous system (CNS) depression, cardiac arrest, and respiratory arrest.
Numerous studies have shown a correlation between magnesium deficiency and changes in calcium-, potassium-, and phosphate-homeostasis which are associated with cardiac disorders such as ventricular arrhythmias that cannot be treated by conventional therapy, increased sensitivity to digoxin, coronary artery spasms, and sudden death. Additional concurrent symptoms include neuromuscular and neuropsychiatric disorders. Conditions that have been associated with hypomagnesemia include chronic alcoholism, childhood malnutrition, lactation, malabsorption, acute pancreatitis, hypothyroidism, chronic glomerulonephritis, aldosteronism, and prolonged intravenous feeding.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Magnesium levels may be used to monitor preeclampsia patients being treated with magnesium sulfate, although in most cases monitoring clinical signs (respiratory rate and deep tendon reflexes) is adequate and blood magnesium levels are not required.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency do not typically appear until levels are < or =1.0 mg/dL. Levels > or =9.0 mg/dL may be life-threatening.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Serum or plasma magnesium concentration provides only an approximate guide to the presence or absence of magnesium deficiency. Hypomagnesemia reliably indicates magnesium deficiency, but its absence does not exclude significant magnesium depletion. The concentration of magnesium in serum has not been shown to correlate with any other tissue pools of magnesium except interstitial fluid.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-2 years: 1.6-2.7 mg/dL
3-5 years: 1.6-2.6 mg/dL
6-8 years: 1.6-2.5 mg/dL
9-11 years: 1.6-2.4 mg/dL
12-17 years: 1.6-2.3 mg/dL
>17 years: 1.7-2.3 mg/dL
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Orientation Week the Freshman Perspective
By Zach Backas '16
My freshman orientation week was an absolute whirlwind of activity. I got my first tastes of the exhaustion and excitement in a typical Webb day after the trips to New York and Six Flags and, especially, Dean Emeritus Compton's drawing class. My class and I were kept busy with the packed orientation schedule, and the scarcity of free time placed an immediate value upon it. In the few unencumbered moments we had, I strove to recognize my newfound situation.
I found that the first week at Webb is the best time to appreciate what everyone here eventually takes for granted. Alongside the aches and pains associated with climbing three stories of creaking wooden stairs at least four times a day, I often awoke with a neck sore from craning top-to-bottom of each high-ceilinged hall. The priceless half-hulls, portraits, models, and memorabilia that adorn nearly every wall are often brushed off by the harried upperclassmen, but as a first-week-freshman, I found it simply respectful to read the inscriptions and admire the dimensions of these Webb relics. I took time to bask in the reception room's full wainscoted and wood-paneled glory, close my eyes and imagine the young Pratt children playing on the carpet as they would have a hundred years before.
Webb Institute has one of the most beautiful campuses and colorful histories of any college; it truly is one of the best kept secrets in academia. The breathtaking views and meticulously tended grounds can be a sanctuary amidst the curricular rigor, however, as the upperclassmen have warned me, it doesn't matter what the place looks like at 3:30 AM when you're stuck on a thermo problem.

I deleted the App Store application with AppCleaner some months ago, after ongoing problems with a freezing Finder. Now I would like to reinstall, but I cannot find a way. The 10.6.6 combo updater of course will not do the job because it needs an older OS X incarnation and I'm running 10.6.8.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Download and re-install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
at the link above.
This guy extracted the App http://www.qubesys.com/reinstall-mac-app-store/
If you don't want to trust an Internet version of the app, you can always reinstall from your Snow Leopard disc / restore media and run the combo updater of your choice. Any combo updater 10.6.6, 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 will have the App Store on it.
Also, your backup should have a copy of the app.
The issue with downloading the app that someone has extracted is that it is coded with his Apple ID. At this time I am unable to change the ID in the program to allow me to use it. Better choice is to go with re-installing the update.

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Physical death is a necessary and, perhaps, disconcerting element of the evolutionary process for many Christians. It is difficult to imagine a perfect and loving God designing such a universe where forces such as natural death and entropy operate.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
It is our sincere hope that, above all else, the film can become a focal point for some of the big questions that inevitably arise at the intersection of science and faith.
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In this video "Conversation," Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the question, "If you take Genesis in a non-literal fashion, especially the creation stories, why take anything in the Bible literally—such as the Gospels? Do you take the Gospels literally?"
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter acknowledges the risk that pastors take when preaching on Genesis—and in particular, when they approach it with an attitude of humility, allowing the possibility that the text was not meant to be understood in literal terms.
By all accounts, my faith should have perished the moment I started asking questions about faith and science. All my life I'd been taught that I had to choose—between believing the Bible and believing my science book, between honoring God and embracing evolution.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
John Walton offers some important reminders in this video with regard to how we should approach a reading of the book of Genesis. While it is a text that is written for us—in the sense that it was written for all people in all times and places—it was not written to us.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.

I would like to improve fast move by using arrow keys. If the current window is in zone2,then:
- Modifier + "->" key: moves it to zone3
- Modifier + "<-" key: moves it to zone 1
- Modifier + page-up key: moves it to last zone
- Modifier + page-down key: moves it to zone1
Ideally, you could move the window around physically (eg if zone8 is above zone2, then Modifier + up key moves window from zone2 to zone8). But I understand that this is difficult and could be done in a 2nd step.
To achieve this, you will have to detect the position of the active window. To do that, may I suggest this simple algorithm:
- Get the size of the active window (Top, Right, Bottom, Left)
- Loop through all zones defined in the grid (start with zone1)
- If (Top == GridTop) and (Right == GridRight) and (Bottom == GridBottom) and (Left == GridLeft) then ZONE_FOUND ! ! ! get out of the loop
- else, go to next zone in the grid
- Return to beginning of loop
If you have trouble with getting the size of the active window, you may try the Windows API GetWindowRect function.

The Shamanic Witch, by Gail Wood
By L. D. Taylor | Leave a comment
The Shamanic Witch, by Gail Wood Red Wheel/Weiser, 978-1-57863-430-9, 244 pp. (incl. Glossary, Notes, and Bibliography), 2008The Shamanic Witch is targeted at introducing practicing witches to neo-Shamanism. As such, the first two thirds of the book introduce and instruct one in beginning a neo-Shamanic practice, and the last third is directed at incorporating Shamanic elements into a pre-existing Witchcraft practice. Even if one is not a witch, the introduction to neo-Shamanism is well written, accessible, and assumes no prior knowledge. It would be unwise to pick up this book with the intention of beginning witchcraft, although a reading list is provided at the end of the book.The first two chapters introduce the concept and context of Shamanism and provide the reader with some expectations as to what the experience of journeying will be like. Wood includes a number of exercises to prepare the reader: becoming comfortable with their own style of visualization, connecting with drumming and non-ordinary states of consciousness. The third chapter is dedicated to introductory journeys, following what seems to have become standard practice for neo-Shamanism: journeying to the lower world to meet a power animal and then journeying to the upper world to meet a guide or teacher. Wood writing is casual and approachable. She draws directly from her own experiences both as teacher and student, presenting components of her own personal journeys but also alerting the reader that their own may take very different forms.

Juvia, Miami
Venezuelan architect and interior designer Alejandro Barrios-Carrero's scheme for this 10,000-square-foot restaurant, which is named after the Brazil-nut tree, recently received the James Beard Award for design. Occupying the penthouse level of a sculptural concrete-and-glass mixed-use complex by Herzog & de Meuron, the space offers expansive scenes of Miami Beach and is outfitted with furniture and lighting by Patricia Urquiola, Piero Lissoni, and Thomas Patterson. The terrace features a retractable roof and a fountain surrounded by banquette seating, as well a 22-foot-tall living wall by French botanist Patrick Blank that creates a vibrant focal point.

GB Roof Garden, Athens, Greece
The restaurant and bar that tops the Hotel Grande Bretagne boasts nothing less than the Acropolis as its backdrop. Still not impressed?

Le Bain, New York City
The penthouse discotheque and rooftop bar at the first New York outpost of André Balazs's Standard hotel is quite possibly the hippest place to take in panoramas of the Hudson River and downtown Manhattan. Set atop the 18-story concrete-and-glass tower designed by New York's Ennead Architects that straddles the High Line park, the turf-covered roof boasts a plunge pool and a crêperie.

Le Panoramique, Chamonix, France
Mont Blanc provides a dramatic backdrop for this seasonal—it's open from June 15 through September 15—casual eatery adjacent to the Le Brévent cable-car station, a short distance from Chamonix in the Rhône-Alpes region.

La Terrazza, Florence
Recently refurbished by Florentine architect Michele Bönan, the rooftop bar at the Ferragamo-owned Continentale hotel is a chic spot to sip Italian-style aperitifs while gazing at the Ponte Vecchio and Brunelleschi's Duomo.

Ten Hands in the Kitchen
14 Oct 13
It's hard to imagine a chef willingly giving up control over their kitchen. However, when a group comes together for a good cause, it seems it is easy to disprove the perennial myth of the chef as an egotistical star. Last month, five chefs from three countries came together for an event in Pollenzo, Italy. While the streets of Bra were filled with the stalls and activities of Cheese - Slow Food's biennial international celebration of all things dairy - a nearby hotel, Albergo dell'Agenzia, hosted an event known as an 'Alliance Dinner'. The dinner showcased the Alliance Between Chefs and Slow Food Presidia project; an initiative which establishes connections between chefs and local small-scale producers. Launched in Italy in 2009, the project sees chefs committed to supporting good, clear and fair food work together with Slow Food Presidia, and use their products in restaurants, bistros and osterias. Alongside Italy, the project is now active in the Netherlands and Morocco. This recent dinner saw chefs from sun-drenched Sicily, the canals of Amsterdam, the desert of Morocco and local Piedmont come together to cook up a delicious feast. From the aperitif to the coffee, the common thread was the appreciation of unusual local products at risk of extinction, and support for the Slow Food Presidia. Habib Balatif, chef at Café du Sud in Tagounite, a small village on the edge of the part of the Sahara Desert known as Erg Chigaga prepared a Moroccan pastilla, stuffed with chicken cooked with Taliouine saffron, Noto almonds, Certaldo onions and cinnamon; while local chef Pierpaolo Livorno from the Agenzia restaurant prepared a starter with Carmagnola peppers filled with Tuscan Sea palamita and Salina capers. Dutch chefs Joris Bijdendijk and Geert Burema from the restaurants Bridges and Merkelbach, both in Amsterdam, presented a starter based on dried mullet caught by traditional Wadden Sea fishers served with a parsley sauce and red beets. Their first course was a composition of cauliflower fried in clarified butter on a pumpkin and parsnip puree, paired with Naegelholt, a kind of air-dried beef (Ark of Taste) and aged artisanal Gouda. Finally, Andrea Alì from the osteria Da Andrea in Palazzolo Acreide in the Sicilian province of Syracuse presented a crema catalana made with carob flour, Sicilian black bee honey, Noto almonds and cane sugar. The dinner concluded with a cup of Harenna coffee, a Presidium from Ethiopia, a single-origin arabica that grows in the Harenna Forest. All in all, a fantastic feast, a perfect partnership and a delicious demonstration of what the Alliance is working towards.
