Health insurance and healthcare utilisation for Shenzhen residents: a tale of registrants and migrants?
Health policies, systems and management
Shenzhen's rapid growth and urbanisation has attracted a large, mobile, migrant working population. This article explores health protection through the means of social health insurance between migrants and registrants and their point of access to healthcare.
A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in Shenzhen, with a random sample of 793 registered and 750 non-registered residents. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression were applied to analyse the association between health insurance coverage with Hukou registration status and healthcare utilisation.
Amongst 1543 respondents, 43.1% of non-registered residents were uninsured. Being non-registered strongly predicted for no insurance (OR = 5.00; CI 3.53,7.07) and have purchased additional/ private insurance (OR = 2.99; CI 1.66,5.37). Migrants who self-reported chronic health conditions were also more likely to utilise health services in general (OR = 2.77; CI 1.18,6.52).
Inadequate health insurance coverage for migrants as observed in Shenzhen remains a challenge for the Chinese health reform. Our results suggest that the current insurance system must seek to include migrants in order to achieve universal coverage and improved health protection for its population.
Since the 1979 economic reform, rural workers in China have migrated to urban areas and Special Economic Zones for improved employment opportunities and living conditions. Approximately 16% of the current 1.3 billion Chinese population is recognised as the 'floating or migrant population'
In the past decade, several major reforms in the healthcare financing system have been implemented in an effort to overcome rising health expenditures and disparities in health status, particularly across the urban–rural divide
Population migration is associated with increased risk for communicable, non-communicable, and occupational diseases, mental health disorders, and health disparities
A direct relationship between the range of services, price, and quality of care exists across the three tier healthcare structure in China (Table
The objective of this study is to identify the associations between 1) health insurance coverage (both social and private insurance) by Hukou registration status (registrants with the local Shenzhen Hukou vs. migrants who lack local Hukou registration), 2) healthcare utilisation rates in general by Hukou registration and 3) point of access for healthcare services in respect to the three-tier healthcare structure and health insurance status; in Shenzhen, Guangdong, People's Republic of China.
This cross-sectional telephone survey targeted all households with a residential telephone number in Shenzhen. Based on a hypothesized difference in the proportion of residents and migrants with health insurance coverage of 0.5 (80% power and alpha of 0.05), we estimated a sample size of 1000 respondents was required. The estimatedw?> sample was increased to 1500 respondents to enable subgroup analysis (4 subgroups).
Subject recruitment
Telephone numbers were computer generated by combining the local residential prefix (+86 755) to a complete randomly generated 8-digits sample. A total of 34,430 residential numbers were randomly generated (Figure

Survey instrument
The questionnaire contained 65 questions that were divided into five sections: the first section collected basic socio-demographics, the second section assessed health condition and risky behaviour, the third section on health seeking behaviours, the fourth section on doctor consultations, and the fifth section on hospital admissions. Questions were formulated and compiled after we reviewed similar reports in the literature
Data was collected for socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, marital status [single, married, widowed/separated or divorced], Hukou registration status [registered with a Shenzhen Hukou (temporary or permanent), not registered with a Shenzhen Hukou (migrant)], occupation [executive, professional, managerial, ordinary worker and unemployed], monthly income [sixteen categories between no income and ¥30,000 or above], self-reported chronic health conditions as diagnosed by a Western medicine practitioner [presence of chronic disease or not], age-comparative perceived health status measured on a 5-point Likert scale [1 = much better, 2 = better, 3 = about the same, 4 = worse & 5 = much worse]
Verbal informed consent was obtained from all study subjects. Ethics approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of the University of Hong Kong/ Hospital Authority Hong Kong West Cluster (UW 10–154).
Data analysis
The primary outcome variables were health insurance status, healthcare utilisation by Hukou registration status and source of care. For analysis, insurance status was grouped into four investigator defined categories (Table
Multiple imputation through bootstrapping from a full Bayesian predictive distribution was used to impute missing values in the demographic and socio-economic variables
Marital status was dichotomised (single/separated/widowed and married) for analysis. Income categories were constructed by quintiles, low (<20%), "middle" (20-60%) and "high" (>60%). Age-comparative perceived health status into better (much better and better) and worse (about the same, worse and much worse); smoking status into current smoker (current and past smoker) and never smoker (never smoked) and alcohol drinking patterns into regular drinker (current and past drinker) and never drinker (never drinks) were dichotomised for analysis. Source of healthcare was grouped into three tiers according to the Chinese healthcare system (Table
All sample data were weighted to achieve population representation using standard methodologies against the 4th National Health Census data for Shenzhen.
Logistic regression models were used to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio and the 95% confidence intervals controlling for covariates including age, gender, marital status, local registration, occupation, education, monthly income, age-comparative perceived health status, self-reported chronic health condition, smoking and drinking behaviour, self-reported sickness in the past 30 days and point of healthcare access.
Multiple imputations were performed in R (R Foundation) Version 2.13 and regression analysis was conducted in Stata (StataCorp) Version 10.
Among 2863 valid residential telephone numbers, 1543 (response rate 53.9%) subjects completed the survey (Figure
Migrants were more likely to be current smokers (OR = 1.32; CI 1.04,1.67) and less likely to self-report a chronic health condition (OR = 0.48; CI 0.34,0.67) or a hospital admission in the previous 30 days (OR = 0.51; CI 0.29,0.89). Being a migrant is associated with less likelihood to attend municipal or provincial hospitals (OR = 0.45; CI 0.32,0.61) compared with health utilization at community level (Table
This study has shown that in a city with a predominantly migrant population, inequality in the distribution of social health insurance remains a challenge. Health insurance coverage in a quasi-Bismarck insurance model like China can be used as a proxy of health protection for its population. Achieving universal health coverage for the world's largest population is no doubt unparalleled in scale and unprecedented; some Chinese cities such as Shanghai
The outcomes of this study, lower socioeconomic status, higher rates of self-reported chronic health conditions, increased uptake of Additional MIS insurance and a possible preference for community centres or private clinics (tier 1 facilities) among migrant workers are similar to that found in the literature
In our study, hospital admissions were associated with migrants who had additional MIS coverage only. Although not significant, these patients appear to be less likely to utilize tier 2 and tier 3 hospitals. This was unexpected as health service utilisation among the whole sample was driven by chronic health conditions. Still, it has been reported elsewhere that illegal private clinics may offer more affordable health care service for migrants
Limitations of this study
Although information on the exact type of social health insurance scheme was obtained from every respondent, we did not further stratify the various social health insurance schemes for analysis. The compression of social insurance schemes for analysis may obscure some of the marginal differences in outpatient and inpatient visits due to different reimbursement compositions. Nevertheless, our aim of the study was to investigate the availability of health protection through social health insurance and additional/ private insurance, but not the impact of different health insurance schemes on health protection, however other studies have already began to inquest such differences
Despite visions by the Chinese government to achieve universal health insurance coverage by 2012 as part of its health reform target, migrant workers appear to be neglected from its social health insurance net.
Special Economic Zones like Shenzhen, which is constituted almost entirely by migrant workers, should seek to pioneer insurance reforms from the local government level to extend health protection for its migrant population. Efforts should be focused on evaluating the eligibility of insurance schemes for both its registered and non-registered residents, improve the portability and transferability of schemes through collaboration within the Guangdong province or other major origins of migrant workers and broaden insurance reimbursements to extend access to healthcare beyond tier 1 facilities.
Providing health insurance to migrant workers is of paramount importance in maintaining a balanced and healthy workforce for the continual economical development in China.

Internet Companies To Fight FCC Rule Changes
It promises to be a long, hot summer in Washington if you work for the Federal Communications Commission — or a major Internet company. The FCC wants to impose tougher regulations on broadband providers. Those companies don't like the idea and are gearing up to fight it.
DAVID GREENE, host:
Speaking of the Internet, the Federal Communications Commission wants to impose tougher regulations on major Internet companies. Those companies don't like the idea, and they're gearing up to fight it, as Joel Rose reports.
JOEL ROSE: So far, the FCC's Internet policy hasn't been quite as controversial as, say, the Obama administration's health care policy. But this TV ad is looking to change that.
(Soundbite of political advertisement)
Unidentified Woman: First, it was the banks, then insurance, then the car companies, then health care. Now, Washington wants to spend billions to take over the Internet.
ROSE: The ad is airing on cable TV and got prominent play in several markets with heated special elections last week. On the screen, a line of dominoes falls in slow motion. The not-so-subtle message is that the FCC is making a mistake by seeking greater authority over the companies that deliver broadband Internet access to millions of Americans.
Unidentified Woman: Tell Congress: Stop the Washington takeover. Don't regulate the Internet.
Mr. ART BRODSKY (Communications Director, Public Knowledge): It's a scare tactic, plain and simple.
ROSE: Art Brodsky is communications director for Public Knowledge, a nonprofit that supports tougher FCC regulation of broadband providers. Brodsky says the commission only wants to regulate the pipes that provide access to the Internet, not the content flowing through them.
Mr. BRODSKY: The government is not taking over the Internet. What the government is doing is engaging in traditional consumer protection, traditional regulation of a telecommunications service that will get people to the Internet.
ROSE: That distinction between guaranteeing access to the wires and regulating what's carried on them has been part of communications law since the 1930s. When FCC officials announced the new broadband policy earlier this month, they specifically said they do not want to regulate content. I mentioned this to Phil Kerpen, vice president of Americans for Prosperity, the free market organization that paid for the takeover ad.
Are you overstating the case a little bit when you argue that they're looking for a takeover of the Internet?
Mr. PHIL KERPEN (Vice President, Americans for Prosperity): I don't think we are. I think that it's important to make a distinction between what regulators say they intend to do and what the actual consequences would be.
ROSE: Kerpen argues that greater regulation of telecom and cable companies would scare off Wall Street investors and that would make it harder for those companies, including AT&T, which has given money to Americans for Prosperity, to build new networks.
Mr. KERPEN: If we go down the path of deterring private investment and have, as a result, much greater taxpayer investment, those dollars will come with strings attached, and people will want to limit indecency and so on and so forth. And you can see how, at some point in the future, it could lead to content controls, as well, despite the fact that its current proponents don't want to do that.
ROSE: Not everyone thinks the new broadband rules will stifle private investment. Take Markham Erickson, who directs the Open Internet Coalition, a group that includes Google, Amazon and other content creators.
Mr. MARKHAM ERICKSON (Executive Director, Open Internet Coalition): These type of rules have existed for many, many years, and, in fact, we saw an incredible amount of investment into the infrastructure that helps make the Internet run.
ROSE: Erickson is referring to the period in the 1990s and early 2000s when the FCC regulated Internet access more like it does telephone service, and he supports the commission's efforts to go back to that approach.
Mr. ERICKSON: This is not regulating the Internet or a government takeover of anything. We're talking about basic rules of the road that allow the commission to protect consumers' access to applications and content, and indeed to let the marketplace flourish.
ROSE: Erickson thinks the FCC is taking a moderate approach to broadband regulation, but that analysis isn't quite as catchy as a phrase like government takeover.

High and Mighty was formed during the beginning of Cataclysm. There were about 5-6 of us who had been in so many guilds that was so inconsistent with raid schedules that we finally decided to make our own guild. Thus, High and Mighty was born! We set up "server" raids every week by running BoT, BWD, To4W for those that didn't have a raid team. When FL came about, we finally formed a raid team, made a name for ourselves by downing 4 bosses in one night. Hardships came, and the team fell apart. Then Dragonsoul hit and we were running the week it was out. We got into heroics and were 3rd on the server. Dragonsoul got boring for us all and most quit to play other games. Since then, we have been rebuilding and have finally started raiding in MoP. We took Draenor off, but we're going to be back for Legion! Who's ready to kick Legion's butt xD

Don't expect to hear much about this in the NY Times or Washington Post today. It's factual.
One year ago today, The Washington Post published its "Hidden Life of Guns" article exposing how under-regulated gun sales along the Mexican border were sending firearms into that country feeding its crime and instability.
The paper's four-reporter team operated as full-partners of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives PR department receiving internal statistics, documents and even an interrogation video.
One of the two gun stores were correctly singled out by the Post: Lone Wolf in Arizona and Carter Country in Texas. But, one year later, we know it was for the wrong reasons
It was on a Dec. 13 Houston's KRIV-TV news broadcast that the lawyer for Carter Country, responding to that morning's report in the Post, made the outrageous charge that agents from the BATFE actively encouraged reluctant Carter Country employees to sell weapons to suspected "straw purchasers."
The charges were ignored by The Washington Post and everyone else, and would have stayed ignored, if not for the events of the following night.
The following night, a rip crew led by an FBI criminal informant killed BORTAC agent Brian Terry in Peck Canyon, AZ, starting a chain of events that ultimately began to unmask the Obama Administration's gun-walking and money laundering operations on behalf of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

We decided to review our website after the previous one had served us well for 7 years, and after some research, I appointed The Smart Marketing Group to design and build a new website for us - I think it was a very good decision!
I found the company to be very professional, everyone has a designated job and does it very well. The new site is about to go live and it looks superb, lets hope it delivers the goods!!
All the team are great, but particular mention should be afforded to Mike who dealt with the initial discussions and has always been on hand to pick up on any little queries, Tom who designed our site for us, and Adam who built the site.
I would certainly recommend Smart to anyone looking to review their online presence, whether that be web design, SEO or social media.

Good 3 star hotel. Good bed, shower and view. Its a 3 star that could pass as a 4 star.
Charming hotel and very helpful staffit is a rural area if you are looking for quietness Just Perfect!
Close to autostrada; excellent for an overnight stop.
Excellent and very kind staff, excellent view to mountains and trees, river. Close to Trento center, best location for work and family together being. Internet connection often could be better. But staff was very kind to give all possible support.
Nice facility, secured parking and good breakfast.
Manager very friendly and helpful. Due to traffic problems I didn't arrive until 0130, he had waited for me and insisted that it wasn't to much trouble to open the garage so that I could park my motorcycle. Food very good. Secure parking.
nice staff, beautiful room, delicious buffet breakfast
we liked the general area, layout and location of the hotel. We only stopped overnight but would certainly visit again for a longer period of time A1
Welcoming friendly staff, clean tidy modern rooms would be great views except we were unlucky as there were temp repair work in the street. Repair work outside in street, but happens everywhere and wasnt really a problem nothing else
Not bad value for money. The full board option was a great option as the meal facilities (restuarants) in town are basically all part of hotels. For 20euro a day extra, I never had an empty belly with great classic Italian meals. I would recommend this hotel, but it is a couple of kilometres walk from the ice skating oval - but a very pleasant walk. Restaurant staff were all great and very efficient; eat in the hotel as the menu is different every night, and the merangue ice cream is very nice! The hotel description states that staff speak fluent English which is not the case. On many occassions communicating was very difficult but nothing that Google translator couldn't help with. The staff always looked tense, but in the end, it is a family run business with members working hard to make the stay comfortable. The only real downside was that the toilet clearly hadn't been cleaned prior to my check-in, but was subsequently cleaned every day after.

Into the Interior(2010)
A novel by Michelle Cliff
In her previous novels, Michelle Cliff explored potent themes of colonialism, race, myth, and identity with rare intelligence, lyrical intensity, and a profound sense of both history and place. Now, with Into the Interior, she has written her most intimate, courageous work of fiction yet, a searing and ultimately moving reflection on the legacy of empire and the restless search for a feeling of belonging.'I grew up to be someone adept at leaving,' confesses Into the Interior's unnamed narrator, a bisexual Caribbean woman of color, and Cliff traces her travels from Jamaica to New York to London. Educated in admiration for Western culture - she goes to London to study art history - she penetrates further and further into its emotional shadow life in an attempt to overcome her own deep sense of displacement. Reversing the journey Joseph Conrad's Marlow took from the imperial capital to a colonial outpost, she discovers a 'heart of darkness' in the former capital of the British Empire. Moving among its fragmented personalities and social life, she witnesses - and experiences - its propensity for racism and homophobia, misogyny and abusive patriarchy, hypocrisy and sadism.Deftly shifting between present and past, between a childhood in Jamaica - her memories, both disconcerting and humor-tinged, beautifully rendered by Cliff's elliptical prose - and her purposeful wanderings as an adult that result in intellectual, sexual, and political awakenings, Into the Interior is both deeply personal and charged by a world-historical awareness of the persistent injustices that colonialism imposes on its former subjects.

|Daidoji Rubaiten
Daidoji Rubaiten was a harrier of the Crane Clan.
Courting Edit
Rubaiten lived at Otosan Uchi where he courted Shiba Akutiso. She was also being courted by Ikoma Nejire, a Lion shugenja trained in the Isawa Shugenja school. [1]
Scorpion Coup Edit
During the first day of the Scorpion Coup the Scorpion released all the prisoners of Kyuden Kokai. Among them was a group of rebels determined to exact revenge upon the Scorpion for their assault, who were led by Akutiso. During the escape a Bayushi guardsman killed her, and in turn was killed by Rubaiten and Nejire. [2]
Saboteurs Edit
Once rivals, Akutiso's death rallied both men to cooperate in inflicting as much damage on the Scorpion as possible. They worked as canny saboteurs during the Coup. [3] In the fourth day of the Coup their target was an encampment in the south of the city. They spread barrels of fish oil across the River of the Sun, destroying several junks set up as blockades against attacks launched from the sea. [4] They were trapped by Scorpion forces in the sake works Lion's Rage. Rubaiten managed to escape severely wounded, but Nejire was killed. [5]
Death Edit
Rubaiten crawled behind the Shrine to Lord Moon to use a single wrapped bundle of Gaijin pepper, expecting to draw the wrath of Onnotangu. A loud explosion echoed the city and fires raged through the shrine. [5]

"I went over to Ole Miss last weekend with Robert Nkemdiche," said Kamara. "We just wanted to see how we would like it over there. We wanted to see what they offered, education-wise. We both left there talking about how good of a time we had on the trip and how much we liked it over there. We just felt so welcomed by everyone. It was an awesome trip. I had no idea it was that nice at Ole Miss."
Kamara hit it off with the Rebel staff.
"I really got to know the coaches. They are a lot of fun. I sent them a highlight tape before I went over there and we sat down and went over it and they gave me a lot of pointers. Me and my position coach, (Wesley) McGriff, just clicked and took a liking to one another."
The Ole Miss staff has brought in a new attitude.
"I just like the new attitude they have over there. They want to change it into not only a winning program but one that competes for national championships. The whole mindset has changed. Everything is positive over there now."
David has been staying in contact with the Ole Miss staff ever since he left the trip, and now he's received some good news.
"I spoke to coaches (Wesley) McGriff and (Chris) Kiffin and they let me know that I had an offer. They told me they wanted me to be a Rebel. That was my first offer so it means a lot to me. It gives me a chance to further my education and play at the next level."
Who else is in the recruiting game?
"I'm talking to Clemson really heavy. I'm going up to Vandy March 24th and Maryland is talking to me a lot."
What type of cornerback is David?
"I'm real physical. I can press at the line and I like playing man. I can keep up with the fast receivers but I can still hit. I play real physical."
Grayson went 15-0 and won the Class 5A state championship. Kamara did his share as he collected 52 tackles and four interceptions. His teammate, Nkemdiche, also played up to his role as the nation's top recruit as he dominated the line of scrimmage.
Just how close are Robert and David and have they given any thoughts about continuing their playing days together on the next level?
"Robert has been my best friend since he moved over here in 6th grade. We pretty much do everything together. We've talked about going to college together. If it happens, it happens, but we would like to go to college together, if at all possible."

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Complete Team Listings in PDF Format
The Mountain West Conference announced its All-Conference football team today, and Wyoming senior cornerback Julius Stinson was named First Team All-MWC in voting by conference head coaches and media members.
Stinson concluded his Wyoming career ranked No. 2 in the conference and No. 24 in the nation in interceptions with five on the season. He also ranked second in the MWC and No. 12 in the NCAA in passes defended, with a total of 17 for the year. The native of Victorville, Calif., was one of 12 semifinalists for this year's Jim Thorpe Award, which honors the nation's top defensive back. Stinson was an Honorable Mention All-MWC selection his junior year.
Senior tight end/h-back Wade Betschart earned Second Team All-MWC for the second consecutive season. Betschart caught 32 passes for 296 yards in 2007 -- both were career highs. He was one of the most consistent tight ends in the league this past season, catching three or more passes in eight of 12 games. He caught two touchdown passes on the season -- one versus Air Force and one against UNLV. He also was a devastating blocker coming out of the backfield from his h-back position.
John Fletcher quickly made his mark in the league in his first year as a starter on the Wyoming defensive line. The sophomore defensive tackle recorded 10.5 sacks on the season to rank No. 2 in the conference and No. 12 in the country. He also totalled 14.0 tackles for losses to tie for fifth in the MWC and 45th in the nation. This was Fletcher's first All-Conference honor of his career.
The four Cowboys who earned Honorable Mention All-Conference honors were: Ward Dobbs (junior inside linebacker), Kyle Howard (junior offensive tackle), Mitch Unrein (sophomore defensive end) and Billy Vinnedge (senior punter).
The MWC Offensive Player of the Year was Chad Hall, Sr., RB/WR from Air Force.
UNLV senior linebacker Beau Bell won the Defensive Player of the Year award.
Junior place-kicker/punter Louie Sakoda of Utah was voted Special Teams Players of the Year, after sharing the honor a year ago.
The Freshman of the Year was BYU running back Harvey Unga.
Air Force's Troy Calhoun earned Coach of the Year honors in his first season as head coach of the Falcons.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Robots are taking on more and more tasks formerly done by human hands. For example, slicing noodles. Robot noodle slicers are a thing in China, but instead of applying for a passport to see one in action, you can just head to the eastern San Gabriel Valley and Shanxi Noodle House. Behind the glass of a kitchen in full view of diners, the noodlebot does its job. About three feet tall, the robot is decked out with a mannequin head, chef's toque and a rubber hand wielding a peelerlike blade. A loaf of dough is placed on a board, a button is pushed and the arm rapidly shaves the noodles (known as dao xiao mian or knife-cut noodles) to order for a human chef to gather up and prepare. Shanxi Province is known for its wide array of noodles, and with several versions of dao xiao mian on the menu, there are plenty of opportunities to watch the bot do its thing. Come for the robot, stay for the noodles.
After the success of Maude (which last year earned our Best Restaurant in L.A. award), the world has been watching to see what Aussie mega-star chef Curtis Stone would come up with next. It turns out, Gwen does not disappoint. For the project, Stone brought his brother Luke over from Australia, and became the importer for some serious quality Australian beef that was hitherto unavailable in the States. Fronted by an old-fashioned butcher counter, the restaurant is like a gleaming art deco shrine to meat. On one side of the room, a glass case holds hanging carcasses and charcuterie; in the back of the restaurant, you can watch as animal parts cook over and around various kinds of flame in the open kitchen. The format is a five-course tasting menu, starting with charcuterie and salad, moving on to handmade pasta, and then comes the meat. You might get lamb cooked a variety of ways, or you can supplement the meal with a hunk of dry-aged Waygu. A flurry of vegetables complements the meat course, and the bright rusticism on display in these dishes might be the highlight of the evening. Gwen is not a cheap thrill, and tickets must be bought ahead of time. But, similarly to Maude, Stone has proven again that sometimes spending a silly amount of money on dinner is well worth it.
When a restaurant is built as part of the Broad, one of the most highly anticipated modern art museums in the West, it comes as no surprise that it, too, is a work of art. Otium is an eye-catching masterpiece that pleases your visual palate even before you've tasted chef Timothy Hollingsworth's playful edible creations. The building, designed by architect Osvaldo Maiozzi, is a cubic, modernist shell, and a designer consortium collaborated to outfit it both inside and out. The Studio Unltd firm teamed up with House of Honey to create a modern rustic space. Handmade glass light fixtures by Neptune Glassworks dangle from above, shedding a glow on the yellow wall tiles from Heath Ceramics. The bright colors juxtapose with reclaimed wood from District Millworks, while custom pieces by chef/furniture maker Chris Earl make for comfortable seats in which to watch chefs in the stunning open kitchen. There, they use herbs and flowers from the rooftop garden. And it wouldn't be an art-museum restaurant without an enormous Damien Hirst fish mural on the outside wall, so there's that, too.
The exceptional food served at Providence would be enough to earn Michael Cimarusti the title of best chef in the city. The fact that he brought us L.A.'s best New England–style seafood house with Connie & Ted's only ups the stakes. But Cimarusti's dedication to sustainable seafood, his efforts to educate the public about the problems facing our oceans, and his new seafood shop, Cape Seafood, give us even more reason to sing the dude's praises. Now, whether you're in the mood for an amazing lobster roll or looking for a beautiful piece of fish to take home and cook yourself, Cimarusti's got you covered. The best evidence for his talent, though, remains the elegant, measured, gorgeously presented food at Providence, L.A.'s most special of special-occasion restaurants.
Salazar, the wonderfully smoky-smelling new taqueria from chef Esdras Ochoa, has officially put Frogtown (aka Elysian Valley) on the map as one of L.A.'s favorite new dining destinations, thanks to mesquite-grilled meats, homemade tortillas, tequila-heavy bebidas and lots of outdoor seating. But what makes Salazar's patio stand out in a city of many patios is that the entire restaurant is, essentially, a patio — so much so that while sipping a margarita, one might wonder what exactly the owners would do should it rain. The indoor portion of Salazar consists of the bar and only a handful of tables, a small part of the large, unique space. Even the entrance and host area is located outdoors on a gravel lot. Built on the grounds of a former auto body repair shop, the sprawling 100-plus-seat outdoor dining area is replete with trees, succulent landscaping and enough umbrellas to keep the sun-averse shaded. And after the sun sets behind the L.A. River, as the sky turns from blue to pink and stars begin to sparkle overhead, stay for one more cerveza because Salazar stays open late.
Every year, when considering this award, I sit back and think through the last 12 months of meals. Which was the most memorable? Delivered the most pleasure? Made me giddy with joy? And once again, I have to admit — that meal happened at Trois Mec. I'm still dreaming about a bowl containing tender chunks of bay scallop and foie gras swimming in a matsutake mushroom and miso broth, which was flecked with pickled sunchoke and hazelnut oil. Over the summer, the restaurant's vegetable dishes seemed to draw inspiration from some of the most exciting cooking happening in Paris, with elegant, playful takes on asparagus and citrus, and a chanterelle crudite that was at once foresty and fresh. As the restaurant's chef/owners Ludo Lefebvre, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo march on to ever more crowd-pleasing projects, it's nice to know that their most personal little fine-dining spot retains all of its weird magic.

Ever wonder why John Luke Robertson doesn't have a beard?
A crucial element of the A&E show Duck Dynasty is the fact that nearly every man in the Robertson family shares one thing in common. Besides their obvious family relation, they all have maintained the manly beards that American fell in love with 9 seasons ago.
However, not everyone has chosen the bearded life. The oldest Robertson son, Alan Robertson is rarely shown on the show and doesn't sport a beard. Willie's son John Luke has also chosen the "clean shaven" look, and it doesn't look like the "Young and Beardless" Robertson will change his ways anytime soon.
Willie spoke with People NOW about the origin of the family beard, and what he thinks about his sons clean shaven face.
"The truth is I don't know that he can grown a beard!"
"The truth is I don't know that he can grown a beard!"
Maybe in time John Luke will join has dad, granddad, and uncles in the beard club. Willie explains in the interview that the beards stemmed from necessity. The family spends so much time outdoors, and during hunting season the extra warmth is greatly needed!
Watch Willie's full interview below!

News Channel 5, Wcpo, Whio Weather, Whnt, Whas, Wkrc
October 26, 2010 by USA Post
News Channel 5, Wcpo, Whio Weather, Whnt, Whas, Wkrc, (AFP) – Dangerous winds hundreds of flights grounded at Chicago's O'Hare airport and maritime traffic stop Tuesday Great Lakes as a strong storm whipped the central United States.
The National Weather Service warned that violent storms would send damaging winds and tornadoes struck the Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.
"It's really blasting up there," said Pat Slattery, a spokesman for meteorological services.
"It will explode and it is liable to last until tomorrow."
The intense low-pressure system has reached levels equivalent to a Category 2 or 3 hurricanes and would probably set records in several states, said Slattery.
High winds associated with intense surface low "to allow the storm to form themselves into bands that are capable of producing damaging winds and swaths of a few strong tornadoes," the weather service warned.
"State of Emergency and local managers are monitoring this situation very dangerous."
Near hurricane force winds toppled trees and power lines, damaged buildings and snarled the morning commute.
"I did not even try to use my umbrella," said Chicago resident Mara Davis, 33, who were awakened repeatedly at night by the storm.
"The buses were so slow, I opted for a taxi. And it took forever because the roads were so bad. "
Ships bound for the port of safety before the storm that was predicted to kick in massive waves reaching up to 27 feet (eight meters) over Lake Superior and 12 feet (3.7 meters) on the Lake Michigan.
"We have three Lakers who came and docked for the day," said Adele Yordi, spokesman for the Duluth (Minn.) Seaway Port. "There are a few thousand footers that we know at anchor just outside the port. They will wait out the storm there."
While the weather service was able to give adequate warning of the boat captains oncoming storm, some were too far from the port and place to drop anchor in the lake and "position themselves so that they are broadsided by the waves, "said Yordi AFP.
More than 300 flights were canceled at O'Hare and those that are still grounded or departure delays have been about 30 minutes, officials said.
"A ground stop was in effect at O'Hare earlier today, which means that there were no departures, but there were flights arriving, spokeswoman Karen Pride said.
"The airport was never closed."
