Cosart takes command for RedHawks
Astros' No. 4 prospect fans eight over six scoreless innings
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | June 20, 2013 9:39 PM ET
The biggest obstacle in Jarred Cosart's path to the big leagues has been the base on balls. Thursday, he put that behind him.
The Astros' No. 4 prospect gave up four hits while fanning eight over six shutout innings as Triple-A Oklahoma City defeated New Orleans, 4-1.
Cosart delivered 103 pitches en route to his seventh win of the season for the RedHawks. He did not issue a walk and struck out three of his last four batters.
"The biggest thing for me was being able to get ahead, being able to throw strike one," he said. "I had my curveball working with my fastball. Everything mechanically felt pretty crisp."
Just three weeks ago, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Cosart was close to being ready for the Major Leagues, noting there were a few things the 23-year-old right-hander needed to improve upon. Cosart was quick to agree with the assessment and pointed to one area in particular -- walks.
Thursday was the first outing since April 20 in which Cosart did not issue a walk. Over his last four starts, he's issued 20 free passes.
"From a player standpoint, you always want to think you can pitch there and I do think I'm ready," MLB.com's No. 80 prospect said. "My walk total has been higher than normal, I think that's maybe the only thing that's held me back. From here on out, I'm going to focus on not nibbling and throwing strikes and getting ahead.
"It basically came down to being too fine early in the counts. Shying away from contact, trying to get strikeouts."
Despite the high walk total, Cosart has had a successful season for the RedHawks, going 7-3 with a 3.09 ERA in 15 games. The Texas native is tied with Nashville's Johnny Hellweg for the Pacific Coast League lead with a .197 average against and is fifth with 79 strikeouts.
"I feel like it's been outstanding," Cosart said of his season. "I've been missing a lot of bats. They're not hitting it or they're hitting it weakly. The only time I've gotten in trouble is when I've walked four, five, six batters. You can't do that in the big leagues. Everything is clicking pretty good."
Rhiner Cruz followed with a hitless inning of relief and Alex Sogard allowed a solo homer in the eighth. Josh Zeid struck out three and gave up a hit in the ninth for his fifth save.
Brett Wallace was 4-for-5 with two runs scored and Astros' No. 20 prospect Carlos Perez plated a pair of runs. Top prospect Jonathan Singleton reached base three times.

'They are a business that gives the Buffalo Niagara region an international presence and prestige, regardless of the team's win-loss record. Without the Sabres, the six-year-old, $127 million HSBC Arena becomes a very expensive white elephant in downtown Buffalo. For those reasons, many feel it is not unreasonable for Hamister and Berman to expect some form of public sector help in their effort to purchase the financially beleaguered team.'

Wide-angle mirrors
As far as I know, all BMWs sold in Germany come with wide-angle mirrors, whether they are heated, self-dimming or plain, tinted or clear. US market cars, courtesy of NHTSA, come with flat mirrors on the drivers door, convex mirrors on the passengers door, with warnings for morons on the latter. This is true whether they are self-dimming or not. I think all US BMWs have heated mirrors, but I may be wrong on that.
While wide-angle mirrors are convex, the convex mirrors fitted to US cars are NOT wide-angle in the same way as the German market ones are. The German for wide angle mirrors is Weitwinkelspiegelglas, following the German liking for combining adjectives and nouns into potrmaneau words. I dont know what any of the part numbers are or where they can be ordered from for delivery to the US. I have bought (or leased) all my recent BMWs for European delivery and have bought my mirrors from either the Niederlassung (factory owned dealer) at Frankfurter Ring 35 in Munich or the dealer in Landshut, about 80 km to the North. As Im sure everyone knows, they are dead easy to fit.
As you can see in the photos, the wide-angle mirrors have the outermost 20% (about) angled outward and slightly more convex than the rest. This provides a very effective view into neighboring lanes and virtually eliminates blind spots.
Im sure a lot of people know all this and Im preaching to the choir, but I hope it may help a few people. Ive had these mirrors on all my cars since the early 70s, when they could be bought in the US for Mercedes. I cannot imagine why they arent allowed here .. I think they should be compulsory on all cars. If I have to drive a car without them, I feel paranoid and spend my time looking behind me.
Im posting a few photos for clarification purposes. The mirror with the black rim round it is from an E 60 550 and the wiring on the back shows that it is heated and self-dimming. Another one is shown on my present 335 and the back of an earlier one shows the heater terminals. When I bought the pair that are on my current car, the model had just been face-lifted and the only cars that used wide-angle mirrors in the new shape were those destined for China! Nevertheless, the dealer in Landshut ordered them at about lunchtime and they were in by 8:30 the next morning!
Slightly off topic, a BMW option that is often bad-mouthed, usually by people who have never given it a chance, is the Active Steering. Ive had it ever since it became available and in fact refused to get a diesel 335, which I wanted, because active steering wasnt available on it. The first couple of times one drives a car so fitted, its too easy to overdo your steering in tight, suburban corners, but after a few trips, a car without really feels clumsy, as if one has to twist ones arms into a plait!
I live in Germany, but I have a US spec 2011 135i. My last car was a Euro Spec GTI and had the mirrors you speak of... LOVED them! How can I upgrade mine and how much would it cost?
There are numerous junkyards within in a few miles of K-Town that you should be able to find a set at, just ask one of the guys that work at the auto hobby shop where they are.
Great post. Any updates about sources?

NFL Draft Story Central
11) Trevardo Williams (6-1/241)
Williams made All-Big East the last two seasons. This past year he recorded 11.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for a loss. This is a former track guy is who from Jamaica. Williams looks like a 3-4 rush linebacker that has shown the ability to really rush the passer. He tested very well at NFL Combine.
12) Jelani Jenkins (6-0/243)
Jenkins battled a hamstring issue and broken hand this past season, which impacted his playing time, therefore production. Still, this kid is a very good linebacker who's athletic and fast. He can run and chase plays down. He's better at that then when things come his way.
13) Gerald Hodges (6-1/243)
Penn State
Hodges has racked up an impressive 215 tackles over the past two years at Penn State. He's a former quarterback and safety that made the move to linebacker as a freshman for the Nittany Lions. He's a very good downhill play who can move inside-out.
14) Lerentee McCray (6-2/250)
McCray came to Gainesville as an undersized linebacker and now he's bulked up to 250-pounds. Despite all that bulk and the weight gain he's maintained excellent speed and quickness off the ball. He can rush the passer and play in space. McCray is better suited to be an outside 'backer in a 3-4.
15) Keith Pough (6-1.5/239)
This small school outside linebacker prospect makes a ton of plays. He started all four years at Howard and registered 72 tackles for a loss. That is a FCS record. Pough can make plays sideline to sideline. He's quick in recognition and has a good initial bust to the ball. Pough is physical and can bring the wood. He does need to work on his strength to battle the combat of the NFL.
16) Ty Powell (6-2/249)
Powell played defensive end, safety and linebacker in college. This past season he recorded 15 tackles for a loss and 8.5 sacks. He's a former JUCO standout at DeAnza College. He tested well and had a good pro day this spring. He has good closing speed and shows a lot of versatility.
17) Brandon Magee (5-11/223)
Arizona State
Just how good of an athlete is Brandon Magee? He has been drafted on three different occasions by three different Major League Baseball teams. A torn Achilles in 2011 slowed him down this past season but he was still productive and played well for the Sun Devils. He had 113 tackles, 12 for a loss, and 6.5 sacks last year.
18) Jake Knott (6-2/243)
Iowa State
Knott has been a tackling machine over the past three years, notching 314. He only had 79 in 2012 but he missed four games because of injury (shoulder). He has good size and athleticism. Knott can be vicious taking on blockers and he can play in coverage. This is a versatile 'backer that could fit into many schemes and play a few different linebacker positions.
19) Mike Taylor (6-1/234)
Taylor isn't the biggest or the fastest linebacker but he's a good, solid football player. He plays hard and is a scraper. He had 150 tackles in 2011 and 123 last year despite having surgery on a torn labrum that spring. Taylor can take on and defeat blocks and go get the football. He lacks ideal size but is big enough in today's NFL.
20) Travis Johnson (6-2/240)
San Jose State
Johnson was the WAC Defensive Player of the Year. He had a super 2012 season, recording 13 sacks and 21.5 tackles for a loss. Johnson totaled 31 sacks in his college career. He plays with a super motor and can do a lot of different things showing versatility. Johnson's smart and a playmaker on that side of the ball.

Calcium channel blockers have an immediate effect on reducing blood pressure. They work by relaxing and expanding the blood vessels, allowing blood to pass through more easily. However, studies report that they are inferior to other high blood pressure medications in preventing heart attacks, stroke, or kidney complications. They are often more expensive than diuretics or beta-blockers. Some experts now believe they should be used mainly as a second-line agent.
No one should ever stop taking these drugs abruptly, because such action could dangerously increase the risk of high blood pressure.
These drugs include:
Side effects
Side effects vary among different preparations and may include:
Newer drugs, such as lercanidipine, may reduce or avoid many of these side effects.
Grapefruit and Seville oranges (used in some marmalades) may have a harmful interaction with calcium channel blockers, particularly in the elderly.

April 2012
Tuesday, April 10, 2012 -- Health care communications
Erika Flein just sent out an email to all benefited staff/faculty lists entitled "Help Control Costs." This email implies that patients should question their doctor's judgment about what tests are really necessary because we are driving up health care costs frivolously.Ā
I go to an in-network licensed doctor that Blue Cross/Blue Shield has apparently vetted. My degree is in the humanities. If my medical doctor recommends a test, I will take their advice. I understand that some tests may indeed be unnecessary, as this Harvard study finds, but it is not up to me, with my limited medical knowledge, to veto the seasoned advice of my cardiologist/oncologist etc.
I don't appreciate the Statewide Director of Benefits implying that by seeking routine medical treatment I am the problem! This is fanning the flames of an already tense situation!
From Erika Van Flein, Director of Benefits
Thank you for your feedback. The information provided has been in the news on many different fronts; I passed it along with the hope that our employees would find it helpful. The message comes from groups of doctors, and is primarily aimed at doctors. In addition to receiving this email, I have received several responses thanking me for the information. Of course employees should work with their doctors to determine the best course of treatment.

Dominik Hasek bade his farewell to Buffalo and greeted Hockey Town the same day as his new crease stomping grounds. In his address to the Buffalo media, Hasek made it clear that while he may have some emotional attachments to the city of Buffalo and the Sabres, that he holds no regrets and now considers himself as a Red Wing. Hasek even went so far as to indicate what team colors he'd prefer wearing when he enters the Hockey Hall of fame.

In Shanghai, Vivienne Tam finds not only antiques shops but plenty of inspiration too
Canton-born designer Vivienne Tam has been making twice-yearly pilgrimages to Shanghai for more than two decades to find inspiration. "In the early 80's, the country was opening up and people were experimenting with new looks. They wanted to be different," Tam remembers. It was just such experimentation that propelled Tam to create some of her most iconic pieces, like her groundbreaking Mao collection, which featured silk screens by artist Zhang Hongtu. On a recent visit, Tam took T+L on a tour of her hidden Shanghai.
Chic Boutiques
"There's so much talent here," says Tam, referring to the designers on Taikang Road, an up-and-coming gallery and boutique area. At Lao Shanghai (No. 5, Lane 210 Taikang Rd.; 86-21/5465-1580), run by three young artists who trained at Qinghua University's Art Academy, Tam—the daughter of Chinese opera fans—spots a dress adorned with painted opera masks. Across town, Duolun Road, the former home to Shanghai intelligentsia, is now an emerging shopping zone, lined with antiques shops and used bookstores. At Guo Chunxiang Family Collection (179-181 Duolun Rd.; 86-21/5696-3948), the memorabilia includes retro vinyl Chairman Mao and Lin Biao buttons; Laiyin Art Garden (158 Duolun Rd.; 86-21/5671-5506) has a collection of Shanghai Deco lampshades. Another favorite: Chinese Classics Bookstore (424-440 Fuzhou Rd.; 86-21/6322-0825), where Tam snaps up reproductions of communist-era comic books and an artist's backpack that fits a sketch pad and a portable easel.
Market Watch
At the sprawling Old City God's Temple market, Tam leads the way past stands selling paper lanterns, tea, and painted fans to the Nan Fang Curio Market (69 Jiuxiaochang Rd.), where vintage clothing abounds. Stalls No. 32 and 33 carry cheongsams in Art Deco prints and a Qing dynasty skirt with embroidered medallions that Tam just has to have. It is here that Tam imparts the first rule of bargaining: "Walk away," she whispers. "If you're lucky, the sellers run after you, but if they don't, you can't go back because then they double the price. But like anything worthwhile, sometimes you have to risk losing it."
Going to the Source
Tam often incorporates elements from traditional crafts into her clothing. The dusty, one-room Chinese Hand-Printed Blue Nankeen Exhibition Hall (No. 24, Lane 637 Changle Rd.; 86-21/ 5403-7947) displays samples of batik dating back to the 1890's. All the tools of dyeing are on display, from wooden printing blocks to wax-paper cutouts. Tam, who has translated the designs into black-and-white embroidery, is this time drawn to the wax overlay on the fabric before it's dyed. "I love the white-on-white texture and patterns—so subtle."
"One of my favorite souvenirs is the hand- tinted wedding photographs from the Cultural Revolution. I love the red cheeks! I had my own picture done in the early 1980's just to see what it would look like," says Tam, as she strikes a pose at Wangkai Photography Shop (378 Nanjing East Rd.; 86-21/6322-1098), which still produces the hand-painted pictures. The studio is filled with evening gowns, bridal dresses, even a Korean costume for women who want to dress up like Korean soap star Lee Young-ae. But Tam doesn't need to borrow an outfit: she's brought her own black metallic organza cocktail dress.
Food Scene
In 1918, Wing On was one of four Nanjing Road department stores that helped define Shanghai as the Paris of the Far East. Now it houses Xian Qiang Fang (600 Jiujiang Rd.; 86-21/ 6351-5757; dinner for two $50), which is a perfect balance of old and new, with its green-marble vestibule and Art Deco dining room. In Shanghai tradition, patrons are treated to a show of Chinese opera and Suzhou folk songs while shrimp is cooked at the table over a bowl of hot rocks. Tam gently mimics the performers' hand movements. "It feels like an old Chinese movie." She can't get over the design of Dongbeiren (1 Shaanxi South Rd.; 86-21/ 5228-9898; dinner for two $38), which celebrates the Chinese Northeast, with shucks of dried corn at the entrance. "They carried the idea through every single detail," she says. The food is equally dramatic: stewed lamb shanks still on the bone are stacked like firewood.
Magical History Tour
In the Old City, there's the Old Shanghai Teahouse (385 Fangbangzhong Rd; 86-21/5382-1202; tea for two $6), which is part museum, part teahouse, and part salon. "I came here first because of the owner's huge cheongsam collection, but now I love the whole ambience he has created." For a taste of Shanghai fox-trot glamour, Tam visits the circa 1933 Paramount (218 Yuyuan Rd.; 86-21/6249-8866; admission for two $10). Tonight the lead singer is crooning Chinese torch songs. Tam sings along, sounding just like Doris Day.
Shanghai Art
Fifty Moganshan Road is a series of warehouses along Suzhou Creek that have been converted into artists' studios and antiques shops. Tam wanders from the Western-owned Art Scene Warehouse in Building 4 (86-21/6277-4940) to Buildings 16 and 18, where ShanghART (86-21/6359-3923) represents some of China's best-known contemporary artists. On the way out, she heads up a rusty fire escape, which overlooks a field of red and yellow calla lilies and empty buildings waiting to be renovated. "Can you imagine how great it would be to have a workshop here?" she asks. "Now that's my fantasy."
Tip Sheet
• Always carry the Chinese address of your destination—the hotel concierge can write it out for you. "Even I do this in Shanghai, because the dialect is so different," says Tam.
• After a long day of shopping, look for a foot massage stand, often located across from hotels. The cost is about $15 an hour. "It's the best thing for jet lag."
• Pick up the monthly English-language magazine That's Shanghai, available at hotels. Great for the latest hot spots.
From funky markets to lush parks, Alice Temperley offers a peek at her boho-chic London
Alice Temperley is a country girl at heart, brought up on a cider farm in bucolic Somerset, 130 miles outside London. "When I moved to the city, I thought it was grim," says the designer, who came here 12 years ago. But as she built her bohemian fashion line—silk dresses, tailored velvet pantsuits, black lace blouses, and, coming this fall, luggage—the urban life grew on her. Temperley's London is an outdoor place, a city of rooftop restaurants and parks, quaint neighborhoods and open-air markets that she explores by bike ("I have a basket on the front for my little dog, Monkey") and in her classic Citroën 2CV.
Favorite Street
On Golborne Road, Portuguese patisseries and Moroccan restaurants sit next to electrical repair stores and antiques shops, while wealthy bankers in stucco houses live side by side with working-class traders in council blocks. "Being so close to such a diverse street culture feeds the mind with constant sources of inspiration," says Temperley. After a stop at Les Couilles du Chien (65 Golborne Rd., North Kensington; 44-20/8968-0099), a trove of quirky treasures ("You never know what you're going to see—I've bought beautiful lights made from a ship's figurehead with antlers coming out of the back"), Temperley wanders a few doors down to Ollie's (69 Golborne Rd., North Kensington; no phone), another antiques-packed magnet for her magpie eye.
To Shops
Many of Temperley's designs have a vintage feel, so it's hardly surprising that she has a taste for London's flea markets. She searches for hidden gems in unexpected places, such as Church Street Market, held on Fridays just off downtrodden Edgware Road. "It's completely rough and awful," she says. "But there are some amazing French-vintage-furniture shops." Temperley also frequents nearby Alfies Antique Market (13-25 Church St., Marylebone; 44-20/7723-6066), where "there's just so much to look at." Her insider shopping source for vintage clothes is the London Vintage Fashion, Textiles & Accessories Fair (Hammersmith Town Hall, King St.; 44-20/8543-5075), which takes place once every five or six weeks. Also on her retail trail: the Façade (99 Lisson Grove, Marylebone; 44-20/7258-2017), filled with lamps and chandeliers from around the globe, and Coco Ribbon (21 Kensington Park Rd., Notting Hill; 44-20/7229-4904), where she goes for lacy underthings. Temperley's favorite gem shop, for "gold jewelry by a range of current designers," EC One (184 Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill; 44-20/7243- 8811), is right near her own store, Temperley London (6-10 Colville Mews, Notting Hill; 44-20/7229-7957).
Food Scene
Temperley loves the capital's vibrant—and growing—restaurant culture, from the eclectic French restaurant Les Trois Garçons (1 Club Row; 44-20/7613-1924; dinner for two $170), near Shoreditch, to Notting Grill (123A Clarendon Rd., Holland Park; 44-20/7229-1500; dinner for two $115), which has "the best steaks in town." In a place known for its tea, Temperley gets her caffeine fix at Tom's (226 Westbourne Grove, Notting Hill; 44-20/7221-8818)— "It's the best coffee in London." The Cow (89 Westbourne Park Rd., Notting Hill; 44-20/7221-5400) is a guaranteed fun evening, especially for quintessentially Irish oysters and Guinness. For sorbet and ice cream, Temperley makes a trip up to North London's Marine Ices (8 Haverstock Hill; 44-20/7482-9000).
Country Pursuits
When she's in need of an escape but can't leave London, Temperley takes long walks along Regent's Canal—a peaceful eight-and-a-half-mile stretch of water that cuts through the heart of the city. She's also a fan of Carshalton Lavender Fields (Carshalton Beeches; 44-20/8404-4880). "They are vast fields of color and scent—and in London, no less," she says.
Art in the City
Having studied at London's most prestigious art schools, Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, Temperley loves to scope out the city's art scene, "although there's never enough time to see everything." When Temperley has a free afternoon, here's where you'll find her:
• Gagosian Gallery (6-24 Britannia St.; 44-20/7841-9960). "It shows amazing British artists like Damien Hirst and Francis Bacon."
• Tate Modern (Bankside; 44-20/7887-8008), which recently had its first rehang since it opened in 2000.
• Hayward Gallery (South Bank Centre, Belvedere Rd.; 44-20/7921-0813), on the south bank of the River Thames.
• Serpentine Gallery (Kensington Gardens; 44-20/7402-6075). "I always wander across Hyde Park and end up here."
For fashion iconoclast Isaac Mizrahi, there's no place like home—New York, that is
I'm as much a part of New York as the rats," says Isaac Mizrahi, the fashion designer, host of the cable TV show Isaac, and unofficial poster boy for Big Apple-induced ADD. "I never wanted to live anywhere else. But I'm in my forties now and starting to think, Are you really going to stay in the same place your entire life?" Probably. Mizrahi has been known to arrive at the airport only to tell his driver to turn around. Besides, he's too much a creature of habit to ever decamp. "I have my dog, my Yankees, my friends. I love the continuity I have in New York. In my dreams, I go to the farmer's market in Union Square and buy micro greens for dinner. But in truth, I eat out at the same places—Benny's Burritos is an important part of my life." Just as he plays limbo with high and low, designing for both Bergdorf's and Target, Mizrahi lives in the West Village and splits his time seamlessly between Uptown and Downtown.
What's In Store
When he's looking for inspiration, Mizrahi heads to Estella (493 Ave. of the Americas; 212/255-3553), a children's clothing store in the West Village. "It sounds totally random, I know, but I adore the incredible color sense. They never get too twee the way they do in other kids' stores—it's very eclectic and sophisticated in an exclusively New York way." Another favorite stop is Penine Hart Antiques & Art (100 Kenmare St.; 212/226-2602). "I love the idea that a shop like this still exists in New York City—the owner doesn't take any of it too seriously. If you were young and just decorating your first apartment, you could go and afford things." When it comes to Mizrahi's shoes, only the best will do, so he heads uptown for custom creations at John Lobb (680 Madison Ave.; 212/888-9797). "Philippe flies in from Paris four times a year to do the fittings."
Brooklyn Bound
Even though he grew up in Brooklyn, Mizrahi rarely ventures outside of Manhattan—except to Klaus von Nichtssagend (438 Union Ave., Brooklyn; 718/383-7309), to see the work of emerging artists. "The gallery feels like the real deal, like there's someone with an actual point of view behind it—even though Klaus von Nichtssagend is a made-up name."
Restaurant Scene
"It's cozy to have a neighborhood place you love, like Sant Ambroeus (259 W. 4th St.; 212/604-9254; dinner for two $110) and return a few times a week," says Mizrahi. "It has a kind of Village glamour, like it's been there for years." The other place he can't live without is Il Cantinori (32 E. 10th St.; 212/673-6044; dinner for two $110), where he has been going since he was a kid. "I had a million first dates there. I've had birthdays there. And I've dined there after funerals. It's full of memories, and the food's good. I eat the same thing almost every time: grilled whole striped bass and cauliflower."
Club Rules
Mizrahi recently taped a segment for his TV show in the wine-cellar room at 21 (21 W. 52nd St.; 212/582-7200; dinner for two $150), a former speakeasy, and was taken by the special bottles that line the walls. "There's a bottle for Elizabeth Taylor, a bottle for Richard Nixon—I don't know what they think they are going to do with that—and a bottle for Jocelyn Wildenstein. Maybe it's her secret elixir—you know, like the one in Death Becomes Her. I should have asked for a shot."
The former Studio 54 habitué says he is too old to go out these days and would rather go somewhere grown-up like Knickerbocker (33 University Place; 212/228-8490) for a late-night soufflé than to some trendy club for girlie pink drinks. "What am I going to do?Hang out with a Brazilian model in a clingy dress or a big tall guy with muscles?They're the last people I want to talk to!"
People Who See People
A fussy patron of the paranormal, Mizrahi chooses his psychics as carefully as his fabrics. "There's my astrologer, Maria Napoli, who I've been seeing since I was eighteen. I go to her every six months for a checkup, like you would a doctor." But since getting an appointment with Napoli is as difficult as getting into the Oscars, Mizrahi also recommends Tony LeRoy (877/818-2700). "I see him for tarot readings two or three times a year. He's a real optimist."
A Dog's Life
A subscriber to writer E. B. White's theory of selective privacy in New York, Mizrahi and his dog, Harry ("part border collie, part golden retriever, part Yeshiva graduate"), like nothing more than to be alone by the Hudson at the dog run by the West Side Highway. "I love it there in the winter because it feels obscure, like no one knows about it."
Street Smarts
The designer frequently finds himself strolling down 43rd between 9th and 10th Avenues. "It's so Sesame Street, so happy tenement! I keep expecting a puppet to jump out of a garbage can." His pit stops:
• Mario Batali's seafood restaurant Esca (402 W. 43rd St.; 212/564-7272; lunch for two $70). "I love the crudo, but I can't have it for lunch because it upsets my stomach—God, I sound like my mother."
• The pool at the Manhattan Plaza Health Club (482 W. 43rd St.; 212/563-7001; day pass, $35 per adult), where he has been swimming for more than 20 years.
• Good and Plenty to Go (410 W. 43rd St.; 212/268-4385; dinner for two $24). "I eat at a sidewalk table even in the freezing winter."

GAMBIER, Ohio -- After the third and final day of competition, the Total Performance Invitational came to a close on Saturday evening in the Kenyon Athletic Center with the University of Pennsylvania men's swimming team capturing its fourth straight win in Gambier, Ohio. Hosted by Kenyon College, the men finished the meet with 2,592 points, 198 points ahead of second place Kenyon (2,394). Johns Hopkins finished third with 1,185, then DePauw in fourth (734), Davidson in fifth (553), Carnegie Mellon in sixth (553), and Grove City rounded out the scored in last with 494. The Quakers close out 2013 on a high note as they prepare for the second half of the season.
Event 22, the 200 medley relay, started off with a bang as the Quakers broke yet another pool and meet record. The "A" team – junior Dillon McHugh, sophomore Kyle Yu, senior Rhoads Worster, and sophomore Eric Schultz – dropped 1.65 from their entry time and completed the race at 1:28.58. The Red and Blue finished the race 1.49 before Kenyon.
The second win of the evening came in the next event, the 500 free, when sophomore Chris Swanson grabbed his first individual win of the weekend. He easily defeated a swimmer from Johns Hopkins by 9.33 seconds, and also broke the pool and meet record with a smashing time of 4:21.19. Swanson shaved off an incredible 11.26 seconds from his entry time (4:34.45). Right in the thick of things, junior Eric Vanden Noort took a fourth place finish in a tight battle with a time of 4:30.54. His time was one hundredth of a second behind third place and two hundreths of a second behind second place.
Moving right along to event 26 and keeping the momentum in the Quakers' favor, a two-three finish was captured in the 200 back by Mchugh (1:47.20) and sophomore Brian Foley (1:48.52).
Another pool and meet record was broken, this time by Worster in the 100 fly. He touched the wall at 47.70 and dropped 1.55 off his entry time. Worster also took first in the 200 IM, where he swam 4.58 faster than his entry time of 1:52.97. His time, 1:48.39, was just two hundreths of a second away from tying the pool and meet record.
Adding another first place finish for the Red and Blue was Yu, in the 200 breast. He completed the race at 2:00.19 and was soon followed by freshman Cole Hurwitz, who placed third with his time of 2:01.38.
Penn took three of the top six spots in the 100 free with Schultz leading the way. The Quaker touched at 44.43, dropping 1.35 off his entry time. New comers Zach Fisher took fifth (45.90) and Jimmy Jameson tied for sixth (45.99).
To close out the evening, the 400 free relay "A" team – McHugh, Jameson, Schultz, and Worster -- prepared to put on a show in the final race of the night and meet.
After the first two splits, Johns Hopkins had a slight edge (16 hundreths of a second) at 1:28.96 over the Quakers (1:29.12). Schultz entered the pool, finishing with the best split of the team (43.85). Worster, the last leg, swam a 43.92 and secured the victory for the Red and Blue with a total time of 2:56.89. The "A" team dropped 5.85 seconds off their entry time and finished well before the Johns Hopkins team (3:00.79).
The Quakers will compete again after the New Year, when they travel to New Haven, Connecticut for an Ivy tri-meet with Yale and Dartmouth on January 11.

Craig Campbell's 'Royals' cover inspires new medley
Listen to Craig Campbell on iHeartRadio | Listen to Lorde on iHeartRadio
Craig Campbell says his performance of Lorde's "Royals" immediately after last month's Grammy Awards was just the beginning.
The country star tells TMZ.com the New Zealand star's hit has become a staple in his sets -- both with his full band and his solo acoustic shows. He calls the song "an ear worm," explaining that "as soon as you hear it, it just get stuck." But Craig adds that "Royals" has inspired another covers idea.
He says he's working on a ten-minute medley that incorporates all types of songs that will sound like scanning stations on a radio. Craig explains that it "may bounce from R&B to pop to country to easy listening to whatever."
But Craig's cover of "Royals" hasn't pleased everyone. He admits he's received "a few negative tweets about it" that include the hashtag "why." But the singer says his response is "why not," adding that it's "a great song" and he's "having fun" with it.

Saints have been made second favourites for relegation from the Premier League just weeks after their brilliant promotion to the top flight was confirmed.
Virtually every major bookmaker in the country believes Saints will be one of the three teams to go down next season – even before a ball is kicked or signings completed. Saints and their supporters are unlikely to be too bothered, with an underdog mentality sure to suit Nigel Adkins and his men upon their return to the top flight.
But it may be a slight cause of frustration that Saints and Reading are overwhelming favourites to be relegated, while West Ham, who finished third and only came up via the play-offs, are longer odds to join them back in the Championship.
Reading are generally the favourites for the drop, with bookmakers offering a best priced 11-10 on them going down.
Some bookies have pegged Saints at the same odds, but several others have them slightly wider at 5-4.
Remarkably, West Ham, are only the fifth favourites for the drop at 5-2 while Wigan, who narrowly avoided relegation last season are third favourites at a best priced 2-1.
One of last season's promoted teams, the much heralded Norwich side who, like Saints, secured back-to-back promotions to get to the Premier League, are fourth favourites at 9-4.
The more optimistic Saints fans might consider the 5000-1 on their team to win the Premier League, or even 11-2 for a top ten finish or 20-1 for a top six finish.
Reading 11-10, Saints 5-4, Wigan 2-1 Norwich 9-4, West Ham 5-2, QPR 9-2, Swansea 9-2, West Brom 5-1, Aston Villa 7-1, Stoke 7-1, Sunderland 10-1, Fulham 12-1.
Saints to finish in the top ten - 11-2
Saints to finish in the top six - 20-1
Saints to win the Premier League - 5000-1

Residents from Long Beach, Compton, Paramount and Norwalk were among nine suspects arrested and charged with defrauding CitiMortage and MetLife Bank out of $2.3 million in Southland mortgage loans, authorities announced Wednesday.
From April 12 through Wednesday, authorities from California and New York arrested the suspects - most at their homes - and took them into custody for charges ranging from grand theft, identity theft and forgery to procuring or offering false or forged instruments, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Those arrested include: Gerard A. Bueno, 35, of La Habra Heights, Jesus Vega Jr., 28, of Hacienda Heights; Andres Victoria, 26, of Albany, N.Y.; Alejandro Valdelamar, 44, of Long Beach; Jose Carlos Henriquez, 42, of Lynwood; George H. Kent, 66, of La Mirada; Laura Garcia, 31, of Paramount; Beatriz Miranda, 56, of Hawaiian Gardens; and Michael Palomares, 27, of Compton.
The alleged ringleaders - Pres Mex, Inc. operator Bueno and JVJ, Inc. operator Vega - acquired six residential property titles in Los Angeles County from October 2007 to June 2009.
The pair got loans against the properties from "straw buyers" - someone who makes a purchase on behalf of another person who for some reason cannot complete the transaction - and "sold" the properties to themselves at inflated prices, authorities said.
The loans subsequently went into default.
The pair then divided the profits with friends and family members that Bueno and Vega recruited to be these straw buyers, who furnished stolen identities, false bank account verifications and employment information, and notarized documents when signers were not present, according to investigators.
But two of the "straw buyers" were identity theft victims, which tipped off authorities, said County Sheriff's Commercial Crimes Bureau Detective Christopher Derry.
In 2010, CitiMortgage was alerted to a property in Compton that had been foreclosed. Because the down payment on the home was less than 20 percent, the "buyer" had to obtain private mortgage insurance from Genworth.
CitiMortgage went to Genworth, which conducted an investigation and found a discrepancy in the borrower's employment verification.
It claimed that the "borrower," a Bell resident, worked as a manager for KC Insurance, a company owned by George Kent, one of the suspects who provided the verification.
The Bell resident, a laborer, never worked for Kent, Derry said.
"That got the ball rolling," Derry said.
The Sheriff's Commercial Crimes Bureau Real Estate Fraud Team and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of the Inspector General conducted the investigation that led to the nine's arrest.
Valdelamar was arrested at his home by Long Beach police on April 12. Henriquez, Garcia, Miranda, Kent and Palomares were arrested at their homes by sheriff's deputies on April 12-13.
Bueno and Vega Jr. surrendered to the court and were taken into custody Tuesday.
Victoria was arrested in Albany, N.Y., by Albany police officers Wednesday and is awaiting extradition to California.
Bueno and Vega are in custody and held at $2.3 million bail, officials said. Valdelamar is in custody and held at $1 million bail.
They are scheduled to be in court today4/19 to see if their bails can be reduced.
The rest were arrested and released with court dates pending.

Why Did You Get A Divorce?
Lennie, I'm a divorced, single dad with greatest son in the world. I'm always asked by dates "Why did you get a divorce?" I don't feel discussing my ex would be in the best interest of my son. I try to answer honestly and tactfully: Divorce was not my idea; I never cheated / lied / ran-off with cheerleaders, etc.; further, my son knows he has two parents who love him more than anything. Dates consistently dig for more. They want a reality-TV back story. I don't badmouth, instead I say we had different values and steer the coversation to my values. I would not probe them about their old boyfriends, yet my answer is not enough for them.
Dear Divorced Dad,
If a woman is looking for the drama version, she is probably accustomed to drama. Your answer to the probing is clear, concise, and respectable. It can be a threat to some women if you have a flawless relationship with your ex, but that doesn't seem to be the case, it seems more like a mutual respect for the sake of the child. Very mature. Talking about the "ex" is an easy topic (yet not graceful) when trying to get to know someone, so makes sense it would be asked often. I think your high road approach and decision to be a bit private is wise. It could be these women lack trust and lack experience with relationships that ended on good terms. Perhaps these women need to grow up a little before they are ready for a solid man like yourself.

Portable Cisco wireless routing products, plus economical
Verizon 4G LTE services, add up to "tradeshow-in-a-box" solutions.
Business Challenge
"Picture this," says Doug Robb, senior manager, events infrastructure services, who has been planning, deploying, and managing Cisco's onsite networking resources for tradeshows and events for more than 14 years.
"You arrive at the exhibit hall a few days before an event. But you have to wait for the provisioning of the circuit you need to connect to the resources you need, then scramble to troubleshoot your setup to make sure everything works. Meanwhile, you and your colleagues can't access email unless you find a hot spot or go back to your hotel room."
Robb continues his scenario. "When the show opens, you're demonstrating solutions that require a lot of bandwidth and uninterrupted connectivity," he continues. "But you're walking a highwire without a net. Because you don't have a Plan B, for "Backup," if your connection goes down.
"And remember," he says, "you're operating in an environment with hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of attendees, all searching constantly for a connection on the tradeshow floor, whether via wireless, Wi-Fi, or a wired circuit."
"Welcome to my nightmare," says Robb.
Now, as he and his colleagues will be the first to admit, Cisco tradeshow networking requirements are extraordinary. For example, Cisco has a major presence at Interop, an annual series of enterprise networking tradeshows in various U.S. cities and, occasionally, abroad. At a recent Interop, Robb says, the company showcased 19 enterprise-class integrated networking solutions with hands-on demonstrations tailored to various industries.
To support those demos in the Cisco booth on the tradeshow floor, Robb explains, he and his team travel with two (one for primary deployment, one for backup) Cisco ISRs with Gigabit Ethernet ports, scores of switch ports, hardware-based security, and more. "For the biggest events, like Cisco Live and Interop," he says, "we build networks that could run a lot of businesses."
Today, however, companies large and small all depend on having reliable network access at tradeshows and other events. Whether they field five employees or 500 at an event, those people all want and need reliable, always-available connectivity with each other and with their offices back home, not only during the event but while they're setting up for it and packing up when it is over.
And as every event manager knows, wired bandwidth is not cheap. "Cable drops" can range from US$2000 for one or two megabits to $60,000 for 20 or 30 megabits or even more for Gigabit connections. If a company needs connections at multiple locations, from tradeshow floor booths to hotel rooms, for the duration of an event or for a just a few hours, the costs can mount up.
Network Solution
Robb and his colleagues have turned to the Cisco product line for solutions to the connectivity costs and complexities of event management. With the introduction of Cisco® Fourth-Generation LTE Wireless WAN Enhanced High-Speed WAN Interface Cards (Cisco 4G LTE WWAN EHWICs) for Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and, most recently, the compact Cisco 819 LTE Gateway ISRs, they now have lightweight, but high-performance, solutions to supply the bandwidth and backup requirements for each event and venue.
"We call it a `tradeshow-in-a-box," says Robb.
To provide Cisco employees with access to email and other services before, during, and after a show, the events infrastructure services team use a Cisco 819 LTE Gateway ISR and a modestly priced short-duration Verizon 4G LTE machine-to-machine (M2M) service plan to set up a private, secure Wi-Fi hotspot just for Cisco employees.
"With our own 4G hotspot, we can isolate our staff from the wireless congestion you get on a tradeshow floor," says Robb.
"The private networking capabilities of Verizon Wireless give them a secure, always-on, reliable connection for everything from email and browsing to WebEx meetings and video chats. In effect, they can `virtualize' themselves and their offices, without even going over the Internet."
Typically, Robb and his team employ a Cisco 819 ISR, combined with Verizon's LTE services, as a back-up for core services, including routing, voice, and video, for the duration of an event. "Tradeshow-in-a-box" solutions also enable Robb and his team to plan for the unplanned and adapt to the unexpected. At the recent Interop tradeshow, for example, an important customer asked for a private meeting and demo with Cisco technical marketing engineers off the tradeshow floor. The only challenge was finding a meeting room large enough to accommodate the group, because Robb and his team had a ready-made way of establishing a high-speed network on the spot: a Cisco 1900 Series ISR equipped with a 4G Wireless WAN EHWIC combined, again, with an economical short-term Verizon LTE services package.
The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is another event where Cisco normally "goes big," as Robb describes it, with 500 or more employees in attendance. At CES, however, the action for Cisco is not on the tradeshow floor, but in several meeting rooms. "We'll reserve three or four floors of one of the large hotels, move out all the furniture, and turn every guest room into a demo room," says Robb.
While they ordinarily use the hotel's built-in copper network for connectivity in the demo rooms, they'll sometimes need additional bandwidth for spontaneous demos requested by customers. For those occasions, also, quick-to-deploy, easy-to-use Cisco 4G LTE solutions come in handy.
Business Results
Since late 2012, Doug Robb and the Cisco events infrastructure services team have saved as much as $4000 per event by deploying Cisco 4G LTE solutions to meet or supplement specific tradeshow networking bandwidth requirements. But cost savings actually play a very small role in this story.
Having portable, plug-and-play, high-speed, secure "tradeshow-in-a-box" network solutions empowers Robb and his team with greater control and flexibility. "We have productivity from the moment we arrive," he says. "We can build our infrastructure, test it, and have time to fix what's broken.
"We also have a viable backup solution if there's a delay in getting a cable drop from the venue staff or another vendor, or if there's a glitch in one of our wired network connections during the run of the show," he continues. It all adds up to peace of mind that they're ready for any contingency.
It also makes other Cisco employees who work the events happier and more productive.
"Our people used to have to go back to their hotel rooms just to send an email," he says. "They also dreaded what they called the `hangover' that followed a big tradeshow. That would hit them when they returned to their offices and had to deal with 500 emails while they wrote a report on the event, followed up with customers, and debriefed colleagues, all on about four hours of sleep!
"Now, with all their usual tools and applications at their command, they can work an event and keep up with things back at the office."
No wonder Robb and his team expect, by fiscal year 2014, to deploy Cisco 819 4G LTE ISRs at every event, whether for backup or primary use in various venues and locations.
"The `tradeshow-in-a-box' has become an essential element of our luggage every time we go on the road," he says.

Tuberculous meningitis is an infection of the tissues covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges).
Tubercular meningitis; TB meningitis
Tuberculous meningitis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis. The bacteria spread to the brain and spine from another site in the body.
Risk factors include a history of:
Tuberculous meningitis is a very rare disorder in the U.S.
The symptoms usually begin gradually, and may include:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This will usually show:
A lumbar puncture ("spinal tap") is an important test in diagnosing meningitis. This test is done to collect a sample of spinal fluid for examination. More than one sample may be needed to make the diagnosis.
Other tests that may be done include:
You will be given several medicines to fight the tuberculosis bacteria. Sometimes, treatment is started even if your doctor thinks you have the disease, but testing hasn't confirmed it yet.
Treatment usually lasts for at least 12 months. Systemic steroids may also be used.
Tuberculous meningitis is life threatening if untreated. Long-term follow-up is needed to detect repeated infections (recurrences).
Call the local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suspect meningitis in a young child who has the following symptoms:
Call the local emergency number if you develop any of the serious symptoms listed above. Meningitis can quickly become a life-threatening illness.
The BCG vaccine may help prevent severe forms of tuberculosis, such as meningitis, in very young children who live in areas where the disease is common.
Treating people who have signs of a non-active (dormant) tuberculosis infection can prevent the spread of tuberculosis. A PPD test and other tuberculosis tests can be done to tell if you have this type of infection.
