WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - When former Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore became the first two women to join Augusta National last year, it turned the spotlight on other private clubs across the country.The history-making move ended an 80 year tradition of an all men's club in Augusta, Georgia.
Wilmington, North Carolina is home to the oldest men's club in the state. The Cape Fear Club at 2nd and Chestnut Streets remains an all-male organization.
Gary Shipman, a Wilmington attorney, says as long as a club is private, it is protected by the Constitution.
"Private organizations that are not open to the public are run by their members who make the rules as to whether to admit or expel members in accordance with those rules, and courts, except under extremely limited circumstances, don't get involved," Shipman says.
There are also private clubs in the Wilmington area that remain segregated.
The Cape Fear Country Club off Oleander Drive remains an all-white club. Marvin Robison, chairman of the membership committee would not talk about the club's membership policies but did say there are no rules that prohibit people of color from becoming members.
"Cape Fear Country Club is a private club and one can become a member by invitation only. Since we are a private club we do not disclose any information about our membership," Robison said.
Steve Salzman, General Manager of the Country Club of Landfall says his club is among the over 4500 private clubs in the country that are inclusive. He believes clubs that exclude people based on race or sex are, for the most part, becoming a thing of the past.
"There are still some and there probably will continue to be for a long time to come. I can certainly tell you the Country Club of Landfall is not one of those places," Salzman says.
The Wilmington Sportsmen's Club on Castle Street is an all-black men's club. Shipman says social clubs, like the Sportsmen's Club essentially have a right to discriminate.
"The constitution doesn't recognize the right to racially discriminate. It recognizes the right to discriminate based on who you want to associate with," Shipman says.
Former New Hanover County Commissioner Joe Barfield says some African American organizations not only exclude whites, they exclude people of their own race.
"You have to have a certain degree of this to get into that. Some blacks will not let you in based on income recognition and background," Barfield says.
Barfield, who served as a county commissioner from 1980 to 1992 was rumored to have been in line for an invitation to the Cape Fear Men's Club. It never happened.
" I don't want to be anywhere that a person doesn't want me there. I don't want my family in that type of environment," Barfield says.
Shipman, Salzman and Barfield agree on one thing. They say members of today's private clubs don't have the same mentality of their ancestors.What worked a hundred years ago doesn't work today. Because of that, they say, the face of future clubs will have a more diverse look.
"It's hard enough to be in business today than sitting there trying to scale your audience down, and if you're not going to be accepting of a group of people because of sex or color of skin, I don't know why you'd do that to yourself," said Salzman.

BRENTWOOD — A Salem, N.H., man, arrested after photographing young girls at Canobie Lake Park, was sentenced to up to 15 years in prison on child pornography charges.
David Lantagne was sentenced Friday by Rockingham Superior Court Judge Marguerite Wageling following his conviction in October on three counts of attempted possession of sexual images.
Lantagne, who remains free on appeal, was sentenced to 2 to 15 years, according to County Attorney James Reams. He also received 3 and a half to seven years on each of two counts.
The prosecution recommended Lantagne receive four to eight years, Reams said. Wageling was impressed that Lantagne immediately sought sex offender treatment after his arrest, Reams said.
Each of the Class A felonies was punishable by seven and a half to 15 years in state prison.
The 47-year-old was arrested in July 2011 after a woman at Canobie Lake Park in Salem complained to park security that Lantagne was using a cellphone to take photos of her young daughter while she played in the water.
When confronted by security, Lantagne admitted having a "problem" and said he also photographed girls at The Mall at Rockingham Park.
He was initially charged with disorderly conduct and violation of privacy. The charges against Lantagne were elevated when Salem police seized his home computer and found images of nude young girls.
The children were not the young girls photographed in bathing suits at Canobie Lake Park.
Lantagne's attorney, John Macoul, asked Wageling in June to bar the cellphone photos from being submitted as evidence.
During the hearing, park employees testified about their encounter with Lantagne, saying he held the cellphone below his waist to photograph the girls while trying not to be detected.
Wageling ruled in July that police had the right to confiscate Lantagne's cellphone and to detain him.

WFNY Podcast – 2013-03-01 Craig and Andrew Discuss MIT Sloan Conference, Dion Waiters, and more
Craig is in Boston this weekend for the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, but that didn't stop him from calling me up for another podcast episode.
Admittedly, I like most of my fellow WFNY writers are pretty envious that Craig is lucky enough to take in this impressive and prestigious sports media conference in person, and so we started off spending a couple minutes talking about the conference. And from there, the conversation kind of went all over the place.
Here's just some of the things we discussed…
- MIT Sloan Conference
- Our strange inability to remember other writers' names
- What do we make of the Shaun Livingston resurgance? Is it luck?
- What happened in Washington?
- Coming back from catastrophic injury and overcoming the mental and physical setbacks
- Polarization on the internet
- Eric Mangini and the internet muscles on both sides
- Should the Cavaliers wait until 2014 or should they make a move for someone sooner?
- Dion Waiters, improvement, and confirmation bias
WFNY Podcast – 2013-02-02 – WFNY Curates: Deftones
First off, a warning. This is not a sports podcast. However, with things being kind of quiet in the sports world right now (it's not like there's a big game this weekend or anything, right?), and it being the weekend and all, Craig and I decided to try something a little different.
One of both of our favorite bands is the southern California metal band Deftones. So we set out on a task to discuss the band in great detail and talk about some of our favorite songs.
If you're not a music fan at all, this may not be for you. If you're Deftones fan, it's definitely for you. If you like music and are either unfamiliar with the band or don't necessarily care for it, I suggest giving a quick listen and seeing if we can help articulate what it is that we think is so great about this band.
To bring you to speed on the Deftones, here are our playlists with our favorite Deftones songs.
First, Craig's:
And here's mine:
If you notice, we both picked the same song as our favorite Deftones song. Here's the music video for that song:
And finally, a couple live videos of the band:
We really hope you guys enjoy this, and we'll probably be doing some similar music themed podcasts in the future.

WFNY Podcast – 2013-01-31 – The Art Modell Episode
The Art Modell talk has been going strong lately, and in this episode Craig and I discussed the former Browns owner's upcoming consideration for the pro football Hall of Fame.
We tried as much as possible to not rehash all the excellent pieces that have been written on the subject lately, but some of the topics we discussed include:
- Is it possible to discuss this issue without bias as Cleveland fans?
- Is the argument against Modell more about Art himself or about the Hall of Fame itself?
- Ozzie Newsome's guest column in the Plain Dealer
- The perspective from neutral observers on this subject
- Is there any real chance Modell actually gets in?
- Much much more…

What We're Thankful For…
We have a tradition here at WFNY. Each Thanksgiving we take the time to reflect on what has been and what will be and give thanks. This is the fifth edition of What We're Thankful For. I went back and read the last four. It's amazing how quick the time rolls by.
Rick- I have so much to be thankful for. It has been a long year, with many changes for me personally. I am thankful that I am now closer to the teams I love. I'm thankful that my wife loves and trusts me enough to follow me to this strange new planet Cleveland. As always, I am thankful that she understands that WFNY is part of who I am and have to be. Thanks Kelly.
More than ever I am thankful for the crew we have assembled. I'm thankful for the guys who have been with us for years and are so reliable- like Mark Price at the free throw line. I'm thankful for the new life that is breathed into the group when someone new begins. It's exciting to see where your lives are going.
New WFNY shirt designs available now!
When we introduced the first run of WFNY shirts from GV Art and Design, we really didn't know what to expect.
It was a little scary ordering all of those shirts without having a clue if anyone would actually want them. Well, we knew we could give some away, but we were pretty unsure if anyone would actually purchase one.
Let's just say we were blown away by the response.
We thought it might take months to empty the inventory. Instead, they sold out in just a couple weeks. We can't say thank you enough. We're honored that you would help us "promote the brand".
Waiting For Next Year: Is This the Worst Three-Season Stretch in Cleveland History?
As a young sports fan in Northeast Ohio, I know I haven't had it as rough as my elders. I wasn't alive or sports-literate for most of the Browns more recent playoff appearances nor some of the Michael Jordan-related heartbreaks in the '80s. The fact that I have yet to celebrate a sports championship — besides the Buckeyes in 2003 — isn't that peculiar or extraordinary, since the same is also true for my mother and five of my six aunts.
Yet, I know we all like to complain about our fair share of details surrounding the three major Cleveland sports teams. We love talking about how the Cavaliers just were historically awful, the Browns have sucked since their return in '99 and the awfully depressing state of the Indians. I always tried to stay grounded, however: No matter how much suffering I think I've had in my 22 years of life and maybe 18 years of sports-literacy, I really shouldn't complain compared to the true CLE veterans.
But, my older brother shared with me an interesting realization the other day: When was the last time all three teams were simultaneously this bad? Like, last-place bad? I hadn't thought of the ol' Waiting For Next Year mentality in those terms before, so obviously, my mind starting ticking and my research skills got put to some use on the fabulous Interwebs.

WFNY Site News
With the Cavaliers season finally winding down and the NFL off-season in full dormancy due to lockout, there just isn't a whole lot to talk about right now in sports. The Indians will provide some relief, but if recent trends persist and the Tribe falters this season it could be a really long year for us here at WFNY. So, we've decided to diversify a bit. Much like we have talked about events like the Olympics and World Cup in the past, we are going to extend ourselves a bit in hopes of adding to the breadth of covered content here on the site.
As it turns out one area of local news that could use a few new voices is local politics. We've realized that with the writers we already have here, we have a passionate group on both the right and the left and a couple in the center. With recent topics like SB5 being so big in local news, we feel like as we suffer to fill up these pages every day that we could easily weigh in. The comments sections would be really interesting because of our existing policies regarding personal attacks, language and civility. The way we see it, we can't afford not to do it in order to keep the site vibrant and relative even as our sports teams fail us. [Read more...]
Bears 1037, Browns 1031: or Something Like That
Yeah, the final score really doesn't matter does it? When I saw the 'starters' step on the field I figured the points in this one were about as valuable as on Whose Line Is It Anyway?
So did we learn anything from this game? Sure. We learned that David Patten isn't in the Browns plans for this season. Nice of them to let him play the whole game to try and get a look from another team. Honestly though, I would be surprised if he got a sniff. He isn't exactly fast anymore. [Read more...]
Browns vs Titans- What We Want To See
You know the drill. Third preseason game. This one is supposed to resemble an actual football game for at least a half, possibly longer. Obviously we don't want to see any injuries, (a win would be nice as well!) but aside from that there are a few things that we (WFNY staff) would like to see happen Saturday night. Here they are- [Read more...]
Cleveland Sports: By The Numbers- #19
What is the greatest uniform number in Cleveland sports history? A number significant to more than just one of the three pro franchises? Today the final part of the week long series…
It's been a fun series. I regret that I rushed to get the list ready to publish on Monday. Looking back, the list might have changed. Despite the outcry for #25 to make the list, I would have included #14 in the top 5. Whether it pushed out #21 or #42 I'm not sure, but Larry Doby and Otto Graham should have carried the day for #14.
In my mind there is however a clear choice for the title of greatest uniform number in Cleveland sports history. It has to be #19. How great has the number been? Well it isn't about sheer volume. In fact very few people have actually worn the number. But those that have set the bar high.
From the Indians- #19 Bob Feller. LeBron James is the greatest Cavalier, and he carried his number on the list. Jim Brown is the greatest Cleveland Brown, and he carried his number to the list. Rapid Robert is arguably the greatest Indian ever, and it seems only fitting that he find his way on the list. (He had a little more help though.) Feller's number 19 was retired by the Indians in 1957. He played 21 years for the Tribe, winning 266 games. Had it not been for his military service, Feller would certainly have been a 300 game winner. [Read more...]
Cleveland Sports: By The Numbers – #32
What is the greatest uniform number in Cleveland sports history? A number significant to more than just one of the three pro franchises? Today the fourth part of the week long series…
The second best number in Cleveland sports history is #32. Much like yesterday and number 23, today's number is primarily carried by one superstar. Cleveland's Jim Brown was easily the best player of his generation. When he retired his name was on more records than Elvis. (I'll be here all week…) Think about this- he averaged 5.2 yards per carry for his entire career. That is the best for any RB with more than 500 carries. He still ranks 8th in total rushing yards and is the only player in the top ten that averaged more than 100 yards per game.
He holds team records for every conceivable rushing category and ranks 4th (behind 3 kickers) in total scoring. Brown accounted for 126 touchdowns in his career. He was the anchor of the offense during the last Cleveland championship in 1964. There really is no question why his number is on this list, so let's see what help he gets from the other teams. [Read more...]
Cleveland Sports: By The Numbers -#23
What is the greatest uniform number in Cleveland sports history? A number significant to more than just one of the three pro franchises? Today the third part of the week long series…
Some might argue that LeBron is all you need for this number to make the list. In my mind however, one transcendent player wouldn't be enough. In all honesty, I didn't expect #23 to make the cut. There simply are no relevant Browns for this list. None. Devin Bush territory. Given that, I didn't expect #23 would get more than an honorable mention.
But let's start the list with the obvious [Read more...]
Cleveland Sports: By The Numbers – #42
What is the greatest uniform number in Cleveland sports history? A number significant to more than just one of the three pro franchises? Today the second part of the week long series…
I appreciate the comments from yesterday's selection. In case you missed it, I awarded 5th place on the list to the number 21, and gave away some honorable mentions. Before we get to today's number I want to address a couple things. First, being a former football player I completely agree that at least half the numbers used have no shot of making the list. Not many baseball/basketball players reach past 50 for their jersey choice. Also, being a lineman I think it stinks that the glory position players get recognized again. What can you do? Also, I was surprised to see the number of people clamoring for #25 to be included in the top 5. While several thought #25 should be included, nobody said it should be ahead of #21. Makes me feel better about the selections. The toughest omission in my book was #14. Moving on to today's number- #42. [Read more...]
Cleveland Sports: By The Numbers – #21
The hottest selling jersey in Cleveland right now is a Cavs #33. Shaq hasn't worn the jersey for much more than a photo shoot, but already may be the best #33 in Cavalier history. I started thinking about Cleveland jersey numbers and wondered what the greatest number was in Cleveland sports? It would have to be a number that reaches across the three major sports in my mind to be the top. So I did a little digging and decided to give you the top 5. You'll get one a day this week. Today we start with the fifth best number in Cleveland sports- #21.
There are better individual players out there, but few jersey numbers might actually represent Cleveland sports history quite like the #21. It all starts with the Indians' Hall of Famer from years gone by- Bob Lemon. [Read more...]
Martinez the Next To Go
There is a white flag climbing the flagpole at Regressive Field. Mark Shapiro is willing to trade anything not nailed down. It is only a matter of days (or hours) before Victor Martinez becomes the latest to go. There is a chorus of boos coming from the Tribe faithful, but perhaps most frightening is the apathy that is washing over the city.
Can you blame them? The writing is on the wall. DeRosa. Betancourt. Garko. Lee. Millions and millions of dollars cut from next year's payroll. Despite his reported desire to stay with the team past next season, Victor and his 7 million dollar 2010 contract won't make it to September in a Tribe uniform. It is a fact we will have to embrace, and so I have a proposal. [Read more...]

Yes.. Mr. Edelmann implies in his videos that this DIY is as good as $3000 worth of Kinoflos if you just dial down your shutter. Then he goes on to say that using T-8's is even better and doesn't even require dialing down the shutter. I've invested a bit into the lights and fixtures - about $150. Not a huge loss if it doesn't work out. So far, I am not doing this professionally. It may be that I will in the future, so I would like to get this working a bit better than what I have now if possible. B

This is the kind of thing that "ticks me off" ... T-8 is only the size of the bulb. It has absolutely nothing to do with the light output. There are multitudes of T-8 sized fluorescent bulbs of varying color and CRI output. It is an absolutely meaningless specification, leaving others to blindly go down a path of frustrating "trial by fire" / "live & learn" peril.
I'm not saying that fluorescent lighting isn't viable, but it is fraught with consideration that should be better understood than "use T-8's and slow down your shutter".

So, the question is.. if I can find 6500 degree bulbs will the situation be improved?
Also, no one has explained to me the issues that are apparent from doing the saturation tests that several have done on my photos. I'd like to know what that shows other that shadow on the face. There are some red tints here and there, but that's what this face looks like IRL. So, I'm still trying to understand why it is important to change something based on turning the sat up to 100% to be able to see it. If you can't see it with the human eye, why is it important? I'm not doubting, just questioning to understand better. Thanks! B

It's a good question ... one that Doug's point @ CRI factors into as well.
The +100 saturation is just used to help find the cast and the temp's that are in play that need correcting for to get to neutral. Correct in PP and go on your merry way. That should be the end of the story.
However, when we have a situation that is problematic to correct, then I start asking why is it being so difficult to correct, ... i.e. what gives, something isn't right here, why do I still see a cast (at normal saturation levels) even after I've made some corrections, what did I miss (and why)?
Sure, you can dial down the saturation for the offending cast and that has its place. B&W is the extreme example of how saturation reduction can mitigate color (although a cast can still show up there in tonal value impact) ... but for me, that isn't correcting, that is throwing away some of the good stuff unnecessarily.
I find that the more neutral my color is to start with, the more latitude I have when trying to color correct. And to Doug's point @ CRI (which I alluded to when speaking @ full spectrum) the fewer "gaps" there are in your lighting, again, the easier/more latitude you have for correcting.
As I've said, I haven't used fluorescent, so I can't tell you from the voice of experience that it will be better. I don't know where the gaps are and how difficult it will be to fill them or ignore them. I just know that casts & gaps steal from image quality. So, for me, elimination of those casts & gaps in my lighting is the goal.
Yesterday, when looking through their T-8's, the 6500 seemed to have better CRI @ 85.
Taking another look through the Philips offerings, I see where their T-12 Daylight Deluxe has a CRI of 90. But, looking through the T12's I also now notice their Colortone (C50) with a temp of 5000K and a CRI of 92. I did also now find a T-8 (different section than the 735) model TL950TG that has a 5000K temp and a CRI of 98 that I missed going through yesterday. Now, THAT T-8 might be a better choice (vs. T-8's in general as mentioned above).
5000K and 98 CRI ... I think that would be a significantly better option than 3500K and 78 CRI ... but likely at a significant price point differential, as there is no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to lighting (and life in general).
As to the "can't see it with the human eye" ... well, that becomes a matter of training to a certain degree. Some people can see color issues better than others.
There are some people that are pretty amazing at seeing subtle color issues ... referring to agency professionals, etc. The general populace for portraits is much more forgiving than those who are judging from years of experience based on industry standards.
Here's a link to an interesting (and sometimes humbling) test.

It took me awhile to arrange them but I scored perfect on that test. A score of 0. Not bad considering I'm male and old.
SO, I guess I am capable of seeing the color casts, but not trained to do so. I guess I don't know how the shadows affect color cast.. i see differences in exposure a lot easier than I do differences in color across a face. Thanks again! I'm going to look for higher quality lights tomorrow. B

Ok.. i went and got new bulbs and two more large fixtures to light the background. The best I could get at HD was 6500K with a CFI of 82. I'm curious to see if y'all think the color is better and more consistent. I set the camera to 6250 K and I think the WB is good. The first is SOOC. The second is me doing some minor adjustments in lightroom. Please let me know what you think and many thanks!

From your adjustments ...
Mostly just levels adjustment @ WB and endpoints. Simple stuff.
How's your gray card look now?

Nice.. you bumped up the whites/exposure? I had it up there, but thought it might be took much, but I like it. Let me know what you did. What do you think of the color? B

Set BG to WB @ 244,244,244. Then slid black & white end points in levels., pulled saturation back just a smidge -7 or so.
From here you could probably open up her eyes a bit, or make any other selective tweaks you feel are appropriate, warm skin tones, etc. ... but having a neutral/near neutral base will let you make changes without them looking "photoshopped" or exaggerated / unnatural.
I cranked the saturation to 100% (not posting it) and while the BG wasn't a pure white, it was WAY, WAY better than the previous things we were seeing. It was a touch cyan/blue (likely the subtle diff @ 6250 vs. 6500) in some areas. Which takes us to your point at detectability. Now, the ability to detect casts or gaps isn't jumping out at us screaming "unprofessional" the way the others were ... AND ... they are much more easily corrected for. While the 82 CRI isn't "the best money can buy", the move to 6500 seems to be working significantly better.
BTW, now, I can see the natural blotchiness of her skin that you mentioned before.
You might want to review your camera manual to learn how to set custom WB so it can "fine tune" things in camera a bit for you, but I definitely think you are on your way to getting things "dialed in". Now, you can move forward learning without carrying around a boat anchor of color cast draggin' you down.

Thank you so much for the time you have spent on this. I really appreciate it. I forgot to use the grey card this time.
I don't know how you "Set BQ to WB @244,244,244 then slid black and white end points in levels" I don't know what that means.. I haven't learned how to use Curves, Color sliders or Split tones in LR 4 yet, so perhaps that stuff is in there.
I would like to know how to change the background without affecting the whole shot. I suppose it has to be done with specialized software?
I appreciate you words about this being a better starting points. Even though I can't see many of the differences, I certainly did see the difference at 100% saturation. I'm glad to be getting closer.
I went out with a pro portrait photog today and watched her work with a friend of mine. It was all natural light of course and was in a variety of outdoor locations. What impressed me was how great she was at getting expressions out of the subject. I'm not sure I have the right personality for that part... is there a way to learn that? B

Oh.. I did custom set the WB in my camera. Set it on 6275 Kelvin... perhaps there is more to it than that. The interesting thing is, that I could see no difference between "as shot" and "auto" so I know I'm closer.

You're quite wise and astute to recognize that attribute of the portrait photographer.
It is learnable, but that's a subject for Pandora's Box ... the short answer is, imo.
Forget about equipment
Forget about technique
Forget about yourself
Truly enjoy people
When I say forget about things ... I mean you have to be comfortable with them to such a degree that they don't detract from you enjoying and and extracting / enacting comfort in your subject.
Mind you, this is coming from someone who does NOT shoot portraits, but has evaluated his own shortcomings from previous efforts to do so. Karen and other portrait photographers are better sources ... maybe check out the people forum to inquire some other members who made the transition from "lacking to thriving".

Great post. I completely get it. I'm just not sure I "enjoy people." enough. Kind of a curmudgeon sort of guy.
I think I can pull off decent head shots. Not sure about portraits.. need to do it more. B

Practice does develop your comfort zone. You being comfortable is key ... if you aren't, your subjects will pick up on it and then it'll transfer.
WAY BACK WHEN ... I met a model that took me under her wing and taught me about working with models. She was comfortable enough to make me comfortable working with her. Then I became comfortable working with other models as my repertoire with Julie progressed. As she instilled confidence in me, I was then able to carry that forward.
Working with people is largely about comfort and confidence ... the more of each that both photographer and subject have ... the better things go. You just have to be able to lead when the subject doesn't naturally have their own confidence and comfort. From there, the creativity and expressiveness can flow.
