The Japanese chefs will also learn how to smoke and cure meats, and then go back to Japan to produce the smoked meats in the commissary as meats can’t be imported, according to Rosen.
“When people from Japan come here, they have a yen for the smoked meat and pastrami,” Rosen said.
Felice, the Tuscan restaurant and wine bar, will open next month in Thompson Hotels’ Gild Hall.
The downtown restaurant at 15 Gold St. follows the success of Felice’s two locations on the Upper East Side.
The 40-seat eatery includes a brass bar at the entrance with an additional 20 seats, along with an upstairs wine lounge, La Soffitta, serving more than 100 labels by the bottle and others by the glass, according to owner Jacopo Giustiniani.
Designed by Robert McKinley, the space’s wine motif showcases dramatic chandeliers made from the jugs used to produce the restaurant’s wines.

".. you could also just hit them with a car."
Or if that doesn't work, try a wardrobe.
I used to work on technological security. IMO the gorilla in the room is that it's cheaper -- and (Snowden, anyone?) to just stir up (or buy) a user. Road rage or Roid rage; pick one.
Anyone dumb enough to pay that for a plank, a motor and a battery deserves a face plant. Preferably recorded for posterity on youtube.
So he first noticed this because disconnecting from the controller caused him to crash. Surely if it disconnects, it should fail to a safe state, presumably simply turning the motors off and leaving it to behave as a regular, unpowered skateboard. A skateboard that launches its user facefirst into the ground as a reaction to losing its connection really doesn't sound like a great idea even before anyone starts hacking.
Also, am I to understand that using this skateboard requires you to actually control it with your phone while using it? As in, these guys are standing in traffic on a motorised board playing with their phones instead of looking where they're going? They should count themselves lucky if hacking is the worst that happens to them.
I"d think that something that uses the last speed setting and then slowly tapers off would be easier on the rider's sense of balance.
Never-the-less the whole concept is idiotic; its a device that costs ridiculous sums of cash to make a merely make a task a little easier that when it fails, has the potential to cause serious injury.
whose main mode of transport is a skateboard?
The criiime isss liiife. The punissshment isss death.
If their main mode of transport is a skateboard, it's hard to consider them as an adult. Just an abnormally-old child.
I just turned 53, and rode to work that day on my skateboard. It's only a mile though.
We make a comedy movie in which the dictator of an (unnamed) East Asian repressive Communist regime loves skateboarding, and a heroic English speaking country decides to overthrow said dictator by infiltrating two journalists who are trained how to hack the Leader's skateboard and thereby effect his demise. Hilarity ensues.
Mine's the one with script in the pocket.
MSU ranked relatively low in terms of average faculty salary compared to other Big Ten universities, according to the 2013 American Association of University Professors Faculty Salary Survey. MSU offices attributed the ranking to various factors.
Overall, MSU ranked 11th among Big Ten university faculty salaries, and seventh in terms of salaries and other benefit compensations. MSU is under the median salary level by $5,000. Within each university evaluation, the report splits the faculty up into four categories: full professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and instructors.
David Byelich, assistant vice president and director of the Office of Planning and Budgets, said the office keeps a close watch on these numbers to stay close to other Big Ten universities.
In regards to the salaries for assistant professors ranking low, Byelich said how MSU categorizes faculty members might be a reason why the ranking is so drastic.
After hearing the results from the report, psychology freshman Lauren Plotzke said MSU faculty need to be paid more to reward their hard work.
Scott Imberman, assistant professor of economics and education, said the reason for MSU getting ranked low in the Big Ten is because the university does not have the money like other universities, such as the University of Michigan and Northwestern University. He also said student appropriations have been cut.
Imberman also said he is not surprised to see salary rankings for full professors and associate professors in the middle of the pack, however, the fact MSU is ranked last in terms of salaries of assistant professors and instructors is alarming.
“We want to build the institution for the future and have high-quality faculty, and the assistant professors is where we get that from,” Imberman said.
The Chemical Safety Board has urged the nation's governors to make sure that they have taken suitable Year 2000 precautions for potential problems related to industrial chemical safety.
The CSB, a federal scientific investigatory organization, issued a letter to all 50 states; Washington, D.C.; the Northern Marina Islands; Guam; Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands to note that large organizations and the federal government have been sufficiently active in addressing chemical-safety concerns but that medium to small-size entities have not.
Gerald V. Poje, a CSB board member, authored the letter to the states, which was accompanied by the agency's report to the U.S. Senate. That report, Year 2000 Issues: Technology Problems and Industrial Safety, is available at www.chemsafety.gov.
"While federal agencies are aware of and involved in technology and chemical-safety issues, significant gaps in surveillance, independent verification and compliance-assistance exist," Poje wrote in the letter. "The largest responsibility for public health and safety will reside at the state and local level, particularly involving the emergency-response community. State and local preventative actions are needed."
Poje's letter said a lesser awareness of general chemical safety, coupled with a lack of financial resources and technical know-how, have hindered state and local Year 2000 efforts toward hazardous materials. The letter suggested focusing on three key tasks to reach impending Year 2000 deadlines: provide easy-to-use awareness and assessment tools and training, promote accessible resources and provide incentives for Year 2000 compliance efforts.
The CSB cited the state of California as a leader in the effort to address chemical safety concerns, based on Gov. Gray Davis' executive order on the Year 2000. That order directed state agencies to prevent accidental releases of hazardous materials. California has more than 5,000 hazardous-material incidents annually but has only 62 specialized response teams.
Chemical-safety standards also were taken up on Capitol Hill last week when the Chemical Safety Information and Site Security Act, which prohibits posting chemical-disaster information on the Internet, was passed by the House Commerce Committee and sent to the Senate for action.
Fearing that wide access to such information would invite terrorist attacks, committee chairman Rep. Tom Bliley (R-Va.) introduced the act a year ago to ensure that local authorities who respond to chemical problems have immediate access to the data for chemical-disaster planning.
The imposing tower blocks on the Beech Hill estate which have stood empty for more than 10 years are set to be demolished - but how will it be done?
Rhodar, a leading specialist enabling works provider will be in charge of demolishing the three 18 storey tower blocks.
So how will the demolition be done?
Up to 80 Rhodar operatives are scheduled to work on the internal strip out and subsequent top down deconstruction of the tower blocks, along with a 65-metre super high reach excavator, of which only a handful exist in the UK.
The excavator will remove approximately 10 storeys from each block, allowing further high reach kit to demolish the remaining structures.
Four excavators ranging from 21 to 40 tonnes will be on hand to process site materials and the existing concrete and rubble will be recycled on site into a specific engineered fill material that will then be used to create a development platform for the next level of regeneration.
This will contribute to a significantly reduced carbon footprint for the project by minimising vehicle movements in and around the project area.
Rhodar will also utilise special water jets attached directly to the demolition equipment in addition to state-of-the-art mist cannons to mitigate dust migration generated from the demolition works.
The site clearance is expected to take 64 weeks with main demolition works commencing in January 2019.
What the scheme will bring?
The project will see 113 construction jobs created. A total of 114 new homes will be built of which 57 affordable homes will be created to meet local housing needs.
The total delivery cost of the project is £21.813 million, this will be funded through the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Calderdale Council, other public sector funding including from Homes England, and a contribution from Together Housing Association.
It is hoped that once the site is cleared in 2019, housing building work can start on site in January 2020 with a completion date of May 2022.
Folks, there is a real chance that Greece will not be able to pass a new austerity bill this week, which would mean (in theory) that it won't get more bailout money, which would mean an imminent default.
According to Kathimerini, there are now 4 PASOK (Papandreou's ruling party) MPs who have signalled their opposition to the measure, at least on some level.
Some are apparently concerned about details, and haven't come out firmly against the plan. It's possible some or all could come back into the fold.
That being said, PASOK has 155 seats out of 300 in the Hellenic Parliament, which means that the vote could be down to a margin of 1.
On Friday, MP Thomas Robopoulos came out against the bill.
Now just to war-game things out a little further, you have to ask whether the rest of Europe will let Greece default, even if the measure isn't passed. After all, the "bailout" is primarily for the sake of European banks and the other PIIGS (both Portugal and Ireland have seen their bonds get hammered in recent days, and confidence in them would likely wane if things hit the fan in Greece). So a failure to vote for austerity would, essentially, be a move to put the ball back in the court of Europe.
This Feb. 19, 2013, photo shows OxyContin pills arranged for a photo at a pharmacy in Montpelier, Vt.
Opioid addiction is the scourge of the nation and Iowa. Because of the opioid crisis, life expectancy in this country is reduced for the second year in a row. Nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control, from 1999 to 2016, more than 200,000 people died from prescription opioid-related overdoses.
Here in Iowa, according to the CDC, there are 64 prescriptions for opioids written per 100 people. Last year alone in our state, prescription opioid sales totaled about 270 million pills, or nearly 90 pills for every Iowan. Opioid prescriptions have skyrocketed, even though the amount of pain has not materially changed. This plight shouldn’t have happened. But we can all work together to change it.
Between 1996 and 2002, Purdue Pharma, which developed the powerful drug OxyContin, changed the medical standard, or culture, regarding the prescribing of opioids. What was once a painkiller of last resort with a great fear of addiction became simply a painkilling option without the same level of addiction concerns. Today, of those prescribed opioids for acute pain, 1 in 15 will have serious use problems. It’s important to consider that four of five heroin addicts began with misusing prescription opioids.
We can help address this opioid crisis by adjusting how the medical community utilizes opioids for acute (short-term) pain, chronic (long-termv) pain, and we must more fully understand and implement appropriate treatment options.
For acute pain, caused typically by surgery or dental work, we should limit initial opioid prescriptions to seven days, and in some cases only two or three days.
For treating chronic pain, finding solutions is less clear. The CDC suggests opioids may not be more successful in attacking pain than other pain medications and techniques. (Of course, wherever alternatives to opioids are as successful or nearly successful, the medical community should utilize them.) Certainly the basic principles apply in long-term use for chronic pain—opioids should be the choice of last resort to treat pain and prescribed with great respect and fear for addiction. Increasing one’s dosage is a danger signal and should be regarded with extreme caution. Medical and public health experts need to continue to work together to conduct more research and give serious thought on how the medical community prescribes opioids for chronic pain needs.
Too many people are getting addicted to opioids, and the addiction is very strong and extremely hard to overcome. This makes treatment both important and challenging. There are two basic approaches or types of treatment— treatment that leads to cessation, and medication-assisted treatment, or MAT. MAT consists of providing a patient with methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone on an ongoing basis. These drugs are opioids but generally satisfy withdrawals without providing the euphoric high. People can live ordinary, productive lives with this kind of treatment. The medical community, government and the public must accept MAT as an important option. As to what treatment option is most effective — cessation or MAT — the preferred option is what works best for the particular individual.
We thank those Iowa medical professionals who provide treatment. There are numerous opioid treatment programs in the state, some of which offer financial assistance. The Iowa Department of Public Health has information on its website regarding a variety of treatment options and locations: https://idph.iowa.gov/mat/otp.
We can change this opioid epidemic. It will take all of us, and will take bold action.
Tom Miller is Iowa’s attorney general.
WATERLOO — More options to treat opioid addictions are popping up in Northeast Iowa — and not a moment too soon.
Iowa can take a great step in fighting opioids, crime, ethics and everything else related to the state Attorneys General office by kicking this old dinosaur to the curb in 2018. Imagine, when Grampa Miller was first elected there were few if any office computers, the IBM Selectric typewriter ruled, rotary dual phones were the standard, telegraphs still were available, AT&T was a monopoly, ATMs were years away, cash registers were electric and not electronic, the Space Shuttle had not been launched, inter-league baseball play was limited to the World Series, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were the Patriots of the day. Time to retire this retread.
Two deaths in North Carolina are being blamed on the same drug-resistant superbug that made headlines last week after an outbreak that killed two at a Los Angeles hospital.
Carolinas HealthCare System in Charlotte is increasing efforts to prevent the spread of the bacteria called carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE.
Health officials said two Charlotte-area residents have died from CRE in recent months, and and three people have acquired CRE infections while in Carolinas HealthCare System hospitals this year. About 15 people with existing CRE infections have been treated in Carolinas HealthCare hospitals.
The hospital did not release details about the deaths because of medical privacy laws.
Dr. Katie Passaretti is in charge of infection prevention at Carolinas HealthCare and says cases of CRE are increasing.
To deal with the problem, the Charlotte-based hospital system is stepping up screening for people with CRE and isolating those who are infected.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the bacteria can kill up to 50 percent of infected patients once it enters the bloodstream.
Passaretti says the hospital also uses a device that kills bacteria with ultraviolet light to aggressively clean the rooms of CRE patients after they're released.
CRE is especially dangerous because it does not respond to treatment with standard antibiotics.
Last week Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center revealed that two patients there had died, five others were infected and more than 170 others may have been exposed to the superbug during specialized endoscopic procedures. The medical scopes were still carrying the deadly bacteria despite being disinfected according to guidelines established by the manufacturer.
Since 2012, superbug infections related to contaminated endoscopes have appeared in cities across the country, including Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Seattle.
"It's serious. This is the fifth major infection over the last two to three years, and it keeps happening," CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus said on "CBS This Morning" about the Los Angeles cases. Hospital officials at UCLA said they immediately removed the contaminated medical devices and adopted more stringent sterilization techniques.
South African football fans are hoping the eight-year jail sentence imposed on Phil Setshedi for match-fixing earlier this week will herald the turning point in the fight against corruption that has plagued the sport in the country.
Setshedi, a widely admired former Orlando Pirates central defender in the 1980s, and assistant coach of Bafana Bafana when they won the Africa Cup of Nations in 1996, will serve an effective three years in prison, with the remainder of the sentence suspended for five years.
Affectionately known to Pirates fans as "Mr Jones", Setshedi was convicted in December last year after being found guilty of trying to bribe a referee by paying him 2000 SA Rand ($250) to influence the outcome of two matches in a national second division promotion tournament in June 2011.
Sivutsa Stars, the team Setshedi was seeking to help, won the tournament and with it promotion to the National First Division, one tier below the lucrative Premier League.
The conviction of Setshedi can be attributed to the budding relationship between the South Africa Football Association (Safa) and the country's elite crime fighting unit, the Hawks, who have promised to eradicate the scourge of corruption which has plagued South African football since the formation of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in 1996.
Setshedi was trapped during a sting operation in which a policeman posed as a referee and arranged to meet him at a local hotel where the former defender handed over R2000 to fix two matches for Sivutsa Stars.
Football in South Africa has been dogged by allegations of corruption and bribery since the advent of the PSL which saw huge inflows of cash generated by lucrative broadcast deals - the latest five-year deal with satellite TV broadcaster SuperSport was worth around $235m - and corporate sponsorship boosting the coffers of the local game.
The extent of corruption that has infested the game in South Africa was revealed during evidence led by a referee, who may not be identified for his own safety, who testified during sentencing that he had been paid for fixing each of the 30 league matches of one season by the chief executive of one particular club.
Setshedi's sentencing comes just over a month after an investigation by football's world governing body Fifa revealed that four of Bafana's pre-2010 World Cup matches were fixed in collaboration with unnamed Safa officials and follows a promise by the Hawks of more arrests "which will shake South African football to the core".
Safa president Kirsten Nematandani welcomed the conviction and sentencing of Setshedi, saying: "Once again, this sends out a strong warning to anyone who might intend to tarnish the good name of the sport through corrupt and any other unsporting behaviour.
"In accordance with Fifa and Safa's zero tolerance to corruption and match fixing, we would like to warn other potential criminals that the long arm of the law would not spare you."
Nematandani also encouraged members of the public to call a special anti-corruption hotline should they have any suspicions of match fixing activities.

Prof Lisa Looney from DCU discusses how we can transform the way we teach students about engineering at Inspirefest 2017.
Prof Lisa Looney, executive dean at the Faculty of Engineering and Computing at Dublin City University (DCU), has been a “woman in tech” for 30 years. She has been studying, working in and teaching engineering for a very long time, and she thinks it’s time for a change – particularly to the number of women in her field.
The problem with change, however, is it means trying and failing to get things right. And, if things are ticking along well enough to begin with, why rock the boat?
Fixing the engineering gender gap won’t happen without a change of course, however. And Looney has connected the dots between the known challenges, the new technology coming to bear and our overall approach to engineering education.
