Considering James Sommerin has held a Michelin star now for three years there must be some members out there who can post a review?
As you may be aware James is competing in Great British Menu representing Wales, competing against former Marco Man Stephen Terry.
I am reliably informed by the man himself (James) that the week start date is May 4.
We dined there last week and intended to post the review today but I have my easter head on today, so I'm feeling a bit lazy
Would greatly appreciate reading any other reports please
Happy Easter.

What's Happening at Culture Project
What Our Audience is Saying
Susan L.
– New York, New York.
We saw "The Exonerated" today and it was quite compelling. The stories are all true (literally verbatim from interviews) and the actors gave a *superb* performance. The show has been extended until December 2 and I really recommend it.
Dave F.
– Brooklyn NY
Simply put, I don't think any other theater company in the city does work that is as timely, relevant, and important as the work that Culture Project put on time and time again. They continue to amplify marginalized voices, bring issues to the forefront, and raise the level of dialogue on today's important issues, through exciting theater, debates, film etc.
If you like a nice mix of politics and art, if you like to consume and be entertained and be given something to think about for days after, then check out Culture Project. I'm so glad they're back on Bleeker Street where they belong.

Here at Who What Wear headquarters, we've raved about the reemergence of the jumpsuit for ages. The all-in-one first piqued our interest a while back, but this season there are great new variations on the style that keep us wanting more. We love the look's effortless and easy appearance, though admittedly, this exact aspect is the trickiest part of wearing said item. As we learned the hard way, when styling a jumpsuit, you definitely need to have a specific strategy in mind (lest you end up looking like you're wearing a shapeless sack). That said, rather than going through the hard work of hashing out an exact plan, instead, just look to a few of our favorite fashionable ladies for cues on how to wear this key piece. Whether they pick an eye-catching pattern, a luxurious fabric, or a smart accessory to spice up the assemblage, these six prime examples illustrate how to wear the jumpsuit well.
Unsurprisingly, our stylish subjects offered a range of riffs on the jumpsuit, but there are a couple of ground rules that they all seemed to honor. Specifically: voluminous tops must be cinched at the natural waist, while bottoms should stick to the season's harem pant proportion and have slightly tapered leg. And while some of our trendsetters opted for statement accessories (belts, shoes, and big jewels are all welcome at the playsuit party!), they all chose to keep their add-ons simple, ensuring that the core of their ensemble could really shine.
Silhouette and styling decisions aside, we've noticed that many members of the fashionable-and-famous crowd are quite fond of patterned jumpsuits-the more interesting the print, the better. While running errands around Studio City, Lindsay Lohan picked an airy and loose-fitting number with small animal print; try Sunner's Long Slip Jumpsuit ($284) for a lookalike indigo style. The wide balloon leg of her selection looks smart with a pair of fantastic heels, like her Fendi Budior Mesh Heels ($504, 212.759.4646) or Nine West's Jay Sandals ($79). Beyonce also provides another excellent exhibit of how to smartly wear a playsuit in a subtle mauve pattern. The Sasha Fierce singer's low-cut, sleeveless, and rolled-leg selection is perfect for any daytime activity, and provides a nice backdrop for her showy sandals and futuristic shades. The Floral Jumpsuit ($68) from ASOS or Warehouse's Popper Front Jumpsuit ($85) are both great alternatives that bare a strikingly stylish resemblance to Knowles' choice. Pop star Katy Perry also decided on a printed garment-specifically zebra stripes-to attend an event at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. Her H&M Zebra Jumpsuit ($60) is playful to the nth degree and looks particularly precious with her brightly colored ankle boots, H&M Wide Belt ($20), and H&M Crafty Necklace ($15).
Of course, some fashion-forward forces prefer to wear simpler styles. For example, Kate Bosworth donned 3.1 Phillip Lim's Accordian Neck Jumpsuit ($450) to run errands in New York, which looked unfussy and chic-the epitome of the jumpsuit allure. Her sleeveless piece with a drawstring waist is ideal for a luncheon or an outdoor afternoon event. To achieve Bosworth's easy-going vibe, try Myne's May Silk Jumpsuit ($198) or Geren Ford's Rivet Jumpsuit ($340), just keep the jewelry to a minimum and throw on your favorite sunglasses.
While Bosworth went for a casual look, a monochromatic jumpsuit can be dressed up easily, as long as you pay attention to fabric, fit, and accessories. At Harry Josh's Spring Fling Party at the Gramercy Park Hotel rooftop, star stylist Rachel Zoe wore a vintage Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit accented with a vintage sequined beanie. Her long-sleeved, sleek look is easy to achieve: just pair ASOS's Jersey Harem Jumpsuit ($50) with a sparkly accessory. Whitney Port offers another fine example of how to seamlessly incorporate a jumpsuit into your evening rotation. Rather than wearing the expected gown to a charity event at the Angel Orensanz Foundation in New York City, Port picked Diane von Furstenberg's Carolette Charmeuse Jumpsuit ($169, on sale) in champagne. Her haltered selection has a low-back, draped-top, and cropped-length that creates a flawless, flirty warm-weather silhouette (try the Silken Roma Sleeveless Jumpsuit ($149) by bebe for a similar look).-KM

By Carrie ThatcherGreat Brain Society Member VancouverWa.
Price City has a jewel of a librarian, Norma Procarione. On July 14 she graciously hosted The Great Brain Society. Her courtesy went beyond hosting our meeting on Friday evening. Instead she met our group on Friday morning as we toured Price's cemetery, noting the living individuals whose lives were the inspiration for former Price resident, John Dennis Fitzgerald's literary works.
She then took us on a detailed tour of the town. Her insights enriched our images of Price's history. Later on she allowed our tired team to enjoy lunch in the library basement. In the evening she provided room, refreshment and support for our speakers forum.
We couldn't have been treated more generously or hospitably. I look forward to future experiences with Norma and will hold Norma up as a model of a true public servant for the rest of my life.

British and Irish Lions too strong for determined Waratahs in Sydney
It's been an eventful weekend for the British and Irish Lions off the field but on it, they beat the Waratahs 47-17 in one of their best performances thus far on the tour. Since then three new players have been called into the squad.
Leigh Halfpenny contributed 30 points as the Lions claimed their fifth successive tour victory.
Despite the Lions almost scoring through Simon Zebo very early on, the Waratahs put up a good fight and were in the game for a long period of time before the visitors took control and scored some excellent tries, later running away with the victory.
Halfpenny scored twice and kicked eight kicks from eight attempts, further cementing his spot at first choice fullback for the Test series.
"It was a good effort and we're very pleased about the outcome," said Warren Gatland.
"To be fair the Waratahs took it to us but I think the boys handled it magnificently (and) in the end we were just too big and too powerful for them."
On the downside, Jamie Roberts limped off with a suspected torn hamstring. Three players have since been called into the squad, with Brad Barritt, Christian Wade and Shane Williams all set to play in their midweek game against the Brumbies. Billy Twelvetrees will also start.

1 vunipola 16 hibbard/youngs (could be either way)
2 t youngs/ hibbard 17 corbisiero
3 a jones 18 dan cole
4 awjones 19 parling
5 poc 20 obrien and tipuric to fight for it in brumbies game
6 croft (was expecting obrien, but after brumbies selection seems this way)
7 warburton
8 heaslip
but maybe there is stil a slight chance for best, grant or gray to push for a bench spot.
in the backs it isnt so easy because of so many injuries which we dont know how bad they are. but some players are guaranteed to start. this is how i think it will go:
9 phillips
10 sexton
11 north (if fit)
12 tuilagi (if fit) (roberts shouldnt be fit) (davies to start if tuilagi isnt ok)
13 bod
14 zebo
15 halfpeny
20 youngs
21 davies (farel if he starts)
22 hogg (he he does well against the brumbies)
kearney hasnt played enough but could be considered for bench if farel is also there to cover fly half. if north doesnt play, dont really know who id pick
DrG June 17, 2013 12:12 pm
Is that YOUR desired selection or just how you feel the positions will be dished out?

I personally don't think Parling has shone this series, then again I don't think Gray has been pretty 'shiny' either...

Only one of the Waratahs normal starting pack played, most of the rest were young guys coming through. It was crazy at about the 60 min mark, when the clearly exhausted Waratahs forwards looked up and saw five Lions subs coming on, all of them full internationals.
That must have been dispiriting.

It's not that he got injured heaps of times, it's just that when he got injured he got really badly injured.
It was against the Reds. He broke his ankle, really really badly.
Have a look :
He's never quite been the same player. It's a fucking shame, because he was in the form of his life before this. Scoring tries for fun.

Croft once again showed (in this clip, I didn't see the whole game so would be interested to hear others non-bias opinions) why he should start at 6 over Lydiate and SOB.
What about playing Hogg at Full back and half penny on the wing? Or the other way round? Half Penny is the only player (along with maybe Sexton) that I FEEL has his place nailed down and should be a sure starter in the first test!
Reality June 17, 2013 7:12 pm
And really classy from the tighthead afterwards.

For a late charge to get cited, it have to do some real damage to the bloke hit.
A penalty is fine for what Ulugia did. It was just a bump.
You'd think he stabbed him.
So much whinging.
DrG June 18, 2013 12:35 pm
I suppose the referee could have yellow carded him, or given the Lions a penalty from the kick off or something, but it isn't worth much more...

PST 3 hi-hats have all the crisp, controlled tones that Paiste cymbals are known for. Great all-around cymbals...
The quintessential piece for any cymbal set, your hi-hat defines the sound of the ensemble like no other cymbal. You don't take the selection of such a vital piece of kit lightly, and neither do we. Our broad assortment of hi-hat cymbals is sure to provide the right option for any drummer, from the basement hobbyist to the seasoned professional. A staple of styles as diverse as R&B, jazz, metal, rock and more, your hi-hat is almost as much an extension of yourself as the sticks and pedal you play it with. Dating back as far as the 1920s, the hi-hat cymbal is ubiquitous in modern music—and for good reason, with nearly a century of presence in the drummer's toolbox. Offering up a variety of sounds depending on how it's used, the hi-hat is struck closed or played with the pedal to produce a short, crisp, and concise sound. Widening the gap between the cymbals opens up a whole spectrum of potential sounds, from a sustained shimmer to a ride cymbal effect. Different pedal positions lead to different sounds with the strike of the drumstick, giving the hi-hat its characteristic range and versatility that makes it an indispensable part of your drum set. Your hi-hat cymbal is not only a tool for enriching your performance—it's also instrumental in keeping time for yourself and the band. Because it's so central to your sound, adjusting the hi-hat is crucial. For example, positioning the cymbals further apart will generate a more 'sizzling' sound, lending more of a hard-rock element to your music. It may take some experimentation to get your hi-hat perfectly adjusted, but the effort will pay off in your sound. Familiarize yourself with the abilities of the hi-hat cymbal and it will never let you down. Like most instruments, creativity pays off and the more you master this integral component of your drum set, the more rewarding it will become.

Benchmark has just raised the bar with the new DAC2 HGC, defining a new reference. With over 15 new features, the DAC2 HGC packs more processing power in the same DAC1 series form factor.
The DAC2 HGC is a reference-grade digital to analog converter, stereo system pre-amplifier, and headphone amplifier with infrared remote control. It supports D/A conversion of PCM sample rates up to 192 kHz, as well as direct DSD conversion. Other features include sample rate and word length display, UltraLock2™ jitter attenuation, asynchronous USB Audio 2.0, polarity switch, home theater bypass, bi-directional 12V trigger, additional analog and digital inputs and outputs, digital pass-through, and high-efficiency low-noise power supplies.
The DAC2 HGC builds upon Benchmark's highly successful DAC1 family. Every DAC1 subsystem has been redesigned and upgraded to achieve higher performance. The DAC2 HGC includes an updated version of Benchmark's highly effective UltraLock™ jitter-attenuation system. DSP processing is 32-bits, DSP headroom is 3.5 dB, sample rate is 211 kHz, and jitter-induced distortion and noise is at least 140 dB below the level of the music - well below the threshold of hearing.

NIAGARA FALLS, NY - For the first time ever, police and community groups ran gun buyback programs in the Niagara County communities of Niagara Falls and Lockport.
Both cities decided that recent incidents of gun violence should spur an effort to get some weapons off the streets.
Both working and non working guns as well as ammunition were collected during the afternoon programs. Cash payouts from ten dollars for non - working guns up to 100 dollars for rifles classified as assault weapons were provided to those residents who turned them in.
Organizers like the Mad Dads group said as many as 50 guns were turned in in the first hour of the program and they expected many more. Lockport officials reported 117 handguns and 61 unwanted long guns were turned in.

|Winds Whip Woods Fires
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 27 November 2010 16:10
Tenacious woods fires in the dry, windy conditions Saturday lead to long firefighting efforts for many area fire departments and the NC Forest Service. Largest of the fires were in the Sparta area, a fire that flared up just after noon, and one on Longbottom Road in the Traphill and McGrady districts,
and they were the first departments called. But command units on the scene were soon calling out almost every department in Wilkes County with brush trucks and hand crews, as far away as Wilbar, near the Ashe County line. Sparta called in departments from adjoining counties, including Laurel Springs, and in most cases, the activated departments had to put their neighbors on stand-by while they responded out of district. Several departments were called in to protect specific structures, but in the end, the fires were corralled as the afternoon winds died down.

EARLY NOSEDIVE LEADS TO POOR TV RATINGSNYI at 0.3 – 28th in NHL, last among locals
by Steve Lepore, Puck The Media
Point Blank guest broadcast analyst
As the Islanders hit the bottom of the NHL's local TV ratings race, they have to be concerned that a season with a circus atmosphere at times has been largely ignored by viewers on television – even more than in the past.
Islanders telecasts are averaging a discouraging 0.3 household rating in the New York market on MSG Network and its affiliates, down 23% from the 2009-10 campaign, and 17% from the end of last season. They are averaging approximately 24,000 households per game. The Islanders rank 28th among NHL teams in local ratings, ahead of only Atlanta (0.26) and Florida (0.19). Due to the size of the New York market, however, they are far from the bottom five in households tuning in, which featured five NHL teams at 10,000 households or lower.
The Islanders' drop in viewers, while also explained by another bad season, is part of an overall trend of the three New York-area, MSG televised National Hockey League clubs drawing lower numbers from last year. Though ratings tend to rise toward the conclusion of the year, the Rangers and Devils are both down about 8,000 households from the end of the 2009-10 campaign. The Islanders' drop from last season is the fifth-worst in the NHL.
The Rangers, who have had a surge in buzz with improved play before their current five-game losing streak, are currently drawing an 0.79 average rating, with 59,000 homes in.
The Devils, terrible until a current 9-1-2 run, have a 0.46 rating, with an average 35,000 homes watching. At the end of last season, the Rangers averaged an 0.89 and 67,000 viewers, while the Devils averaged an 0.58 rating and 43,000 viewers by the end of 2009-10. Both teams could see their ratings rise if the Devils continue to improve and the Rangers stay in the playoff race.
Meanwhile, the three local hockey teams are all squished in between the two local basketball franchises. The Knicks are blowing all the winter sports clubs in the area away with their recent revival, averaging 115,000 viewers, way over what they were drawing last year. The Knicks' newfound hope seems to have put them clearly ahead of the Rangers again, while as recently as two years ago, the Blueshirts were inching ahead of their fellow tenants. Back in New Jersey, the Nets are below even the Islanders, with an average rating of 0.29 and 22,000 viewers despite having the YES Network to themselves.
You have to look at it as a combination of things, really. The fact is, the Islanders' crippling losing streak of 20 of 21 games destroyed most hope of gaining momentum in the television ratings and the box office. The Devils have been awful in an already very blase, overly complacent market. The Rangers' numbers could be attributed in part to the Knicks stealing some of their buzz. Expect the Rangers and Devils to improve towards season's en. While the Islanders may come nowhere close to the Florida Panthers' 3,000 households per game, they might continue to slide if the games become increasingly meaningless to anyone except the true die-hards.
The author would like to thank John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal, who was very generous with his time and information in support of this article.

In terms of costumes, Dorothy Gale from the 1939 silver-screen gem The Wizard of Oz is as iconic as it gets. While nothing can match the ruby slippers, gingham dress, and wicker basket all worn by Judy Garland's Dorothy, right now, that outfit isn't exactly relevant to what's going on in fashion. That said, we'll make the argument that Oz is influencing us in a slightly different way. Rather than looking to that classic film for inspiration, for today's installment of Currently Channeling we're taking clothing cues from the slightly odd, completely ridiculous follow-up flick-Return to Oz. And instead of holding the heroine's style up for emulation, we're much more intrigued by the sequel's amazingly attired antagonists: Princess Mombi and her evil henchmen, The Wheelers.
While it's true that the star of RTO (a young Fairuza Balk of The Craft fame) wears a mutton-sleeve frock well, it's the maniacal Mombi who really steals the sartorial show with giant puffed-shoulder dresses, frizzed curls, and architectural gold jewelry. Mombi's vile bodyguards are just as tricked out in high-eighties gear, think: bright-and-bold Boy George-style eye makeup, lots of metallics, and vividly dimensional jackets. As for why their wardrobe is so wonderful, it's worth nothing that the movie, which is set in 1899, was filmed and released in 1985-an era that some of the most influential designers like Marc Jacobs and Dolce & Gabbana mined for inspiration for their F/W 09 collections. We think Princess Mombi and crew would feel right at home on those runways and in the pieces selected for this month's edition of Currently Channeling: Return to Oz. Needless to say, being bad never looked so good...
Retrosun Vintage Cazal Sunglasses ($220)
Even before Dorothy finds herself back in Oz, she is confronted with the nefarious Dr. Worley, an electro-shock pushing physician who introduces his young patients to his high-voltage contraptions by pointing out the pieces resemble a face. Though these Retrosun glasses may not conduct electricity, we love the mixed metal frames of these retro-chic shades!
Topshop Ultimate Jeweled Jacket ($410)
Another villainous force in the film is the Nome King, the leader of the immortal rock fairies whose faces appear (via clay-mation) in the jagged surfaces of the mountainside. This Topshop jacket may not have any anthropomorphic features, but the beaded waterfall cropped coat is the perfect power piece to update any fall ensemble!
David Lerner Spandex Equestrian Style Leggings ($204)
Like Alex and his Droogs in A Clockwork Orange, Return to Oz has its own band of well-dressed troublemakers wreaking havoc on The Emerald City: The Wheelers. This punk gang who have wheels in place of hands and feet zoom around the city terrorizing Dorothy, wearing neon-colored jackets and pants. Though these David Lerner leggings are monochromatic, the shimmery material and equestrian patches would be aerodynamic and eye-catching; the perfect costume for any antagonist with a need for speed. Be sure to check out the Latex Leggings ($102) and similar styles available on the designer's website.
Alexander McQueen Red Faithful Glove Clutch ($994)
One of the creepiest-and coolest-aspects of the malevolent Princess Mombi's look is that she collects the heads of her subjects (which she stores in glass cases in her closet). Depending on her mood, she decides which one is most suitable and mounts it on her headless body. Though this McQueen clutch isn't quite as savage, the two-in-one piece comes in a crimson hue and has a detachable glove for those evenings you feel like switching it up. Additionally, we also like Aldo's Arzachena Clutch ($13); it's a zipper-adorned, handheld alternative in an equally bold blood-red hue.
French Connection Softly Stretch Dress ($188)
At the mental institution, Dorothy is tended to by the surly Nurse Wilson, who, despite the 1899 setting, is rocking eighties-inspired strong shoulders. Her black mutton-sleeved dress may be a bit too costumey for real life, so instead opt for this French Connection dress with ruffled shoulders to add a little drama to your LBD collection!
Marc Jacobs Suede Molded Ankle Boots ($900)
If Princess Mombi were to pick her favorite F/W 09 collection, there is no doubt that Marc Jacobs would be her designer of choice. We can't help but think that she would look pretty wicked in Jacobs' sculpted silhouettes, floral brocades, and strong capes and coats. These Molded Ankle Boots, with their powerful-platform, dramatically shaped sides, and metallic orb detail, are the ideal final touch to any Mombi-endorsed ensemble. If you want a couple wallet-friendly versions try Topshop's Amaze Sculpture Heel Boots ($170) or Carvela's Study Studded Cuff Ankle Boots ($243) for two sinful shoe alternatives. After all, even the soulless can rock a great pair of soles!
Mawi Emerald Heart Necklace ($446)
Though keys are worn throughout the film on bracelets and necklaces, another prominent symbol is the emerald orb. This pendant piece from Mawi-an amazing line of antique and costume jewelry-reminds us not only of The Emerald City, but also of the green eyes of our metallic hero, Tik-Tok, who proves his mettle time and time again by saving Dorothy and her friends.
Dolce & Gabbana Intense Nail Lacquer ($20) in Stromboli
In Return to Oz, Princess Mombi's manicure is a shimmering shade of gold. Though we like a heavy metal hand, we are also quite fond of this 14 karat-flecked greenish black color from one of our favorite new beauty lines, Dolce & Gabbana's The Make Up, to help you get an Oz-worthy finish!-KM

"Green" Banking, New Resource Bank, Helps Empower Sustainable Businesses
Sustainable Banking
More than ever companies are taking the steps to creating a sustainable business; however, changing your business from "regular" to "green" can be costly and take time.
But there are banks that can help: green banks — specific banks designed to aid environmentally-conscious businesses and consumers with better incentives and loan rates. Despite the changes in our economic system in business caused by the housing market, these banks are willing to work with companies who want to empower sustainability.
New Resource Bank is a small commercial bank established with the sole mission of serving the particular needs of green entrepreneurs and sustainable businesses. The model "rethink, rebuild, renew" has a vast appeal to the bank because they want to educate with programs, reduce consumption and challenge other companies to do the same.
Not only is this bank lending funds to help other companies go green, they are walking the walk themselves. The bank is reducing their environmental footprint by using renewable energy and buying re-manufactured toner cartridges and chlorine-free paper products. The Values in Action Committee monitors the bank's performance and pledge to promoting a global well-being for future generations.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advcoate publisher
This week a lot of local kids will be graduating from high schools in the area. Most are excited about the prospect of their futures after formal public schooling for 13 years. They long to be free and make their own decisions as they turn 18. They look forward to a life without restraint from anyone and anything.
So from an old guy, I want them to listen to one piece of advice.
It ain't gonna be what you expect it to be.
One of the debates in our society in recent years is whether people want to trade security for rights. In other words do we want life to be secure and safe, but have our basic freedoms infringed upon to do so.
Well high school graduation is a form of that same thing, except in reverse.
For over a decade these graduates have had their life pretty set, regimented and planned.
Now suddenly they are being sent out into a world of chaos, uncertainty and at times calamity.
The one certain thing about it?
It ain't gonna be what you expect it to be.
My high school graduation leaves me few memories, particularly about the graduation itself. I realize that 1970 is ancient history to these students who are matriculating this week, but don't you think I would remember something other than the fact it was hot in the gym where it was held and I was glad to get that black gown off afterward?
I am sure that many of my fellow graduates from that time do remember stuff about it, but I was bored silly.
School itself was a lot more fun than graduation. But then I think adults make you go graduation so that you realize it isn't going to be all milk and honey.
I do remember the day after my high school commencement though. I sat in the front room of my parents' house and realized that now I could do what I wanted. No more regimentation. Of course I was enrolled to go to college that fall and I did have a part time job that for the summer would be full time, but that was easy compared to what I had been through for most of my life. Right?
I think the hardest part for me was the social transition, going from seeing so many people I knew pretty well every day, to only seeing a few of them. There were very good friends in high school that I have never seen since that May night. They went away to other schools, moved to other states, started new lives.
Even some of my core friends, those closest tome me, ones I had done everything with, were gone within a few weeks. They went to school far away, went on church missions, moved for jobs. But the biggest mover of friends was marriage. Many got married right out of high school. Once married, they didn't seem to want much to do with a single guy. The truth?
Life was never the same. Relatively care free youth was gone. No more summers off, lazing about. No more long Christmas breaks, no more holidays scattered amongst the days of the year. No more assemblies you could sluff with your friends and meet at the local burger joint.
Part of the joy of youth is the freedom you feel when you are out of school for the summer or holidays. Vacations and holidays from work have never, ever given me that same feeling. The facts?
However, I am not trying to be a downer about graduation. There is a lot of positive to be said about determining your own direction. When you are young you need help following the right paths. These young people will become adults and they will find joy in that.
But what I am saying is that it will never be the same for them. Their old world will disappear into time. When the bells ring for the first day of school next fall they will either be in school somewhere else, working or doing something else. I remember that first fall after I graduated. I saw kids in the school zones as I went to work that day, the cars filling the parking lot at my old high school and the school buses on the streets.
It seemed weird and odd that I was no longer a part of that. Funny that I remember things about that day much more than I remember my graduation day. It's just as I said.
Let's just hope each of our present graduates finds it to be better, not worse.

On January 13, 1888, a group of 33 gentlemen founded the National Geographic Society in the Cosmos Club, a select private club in Washington, DC. The group included members of the city's scientific and intellectual circles and a few prominent explorers. The gathering was vividly portrayed, years later, in a painting by Stanley Meltzoff (below). The round mahogany table can still be found in our headquarters. The central characters in the scene are Major John Wesley Powell, hero of the battle of Shiloh and explorer of the Grand Canyon, and Gardiner G. Hubbard, a prominent Boston lawyer with an aristocratic white beard. Hubbard would become the Society's first President and his son-in-law, Alexander Graham Bell (better known as the inventor of the telephone) would succeed him in 1897 after his death.
Click on any image in the post for an enlarged view.
Graphics and maps at National Geographic go back to that very first issue. With the concept of "data visualization" becoming a trendy one in recent years, sometimes it's good to remember that not only the concept is centuries old (going all the way back to Scottish engineer and economist William Playfair, who invented the pie, bar and fever line charts in the late 1700's). For one thing, "data visualization" in the early days had something that is so often lacking today: clear, simple, intelligible storytelling.
Five color maps illustrated an article entitled "The Great Storm of March 11-14, 1888". Following them, a remarkably elegant chart shows the changes in atmospheric pressure registered by different vessels and land stations over the duration of the three-day storm, and compares them with the normal value. Technical but still a good chart even by today's standards:
The maps show pressure, temperature and wind at different moments during the storm:
In addition to numerous maps (which will be featured in future posts) black and white charts continued to appear in National Geographic at the turn of the century. A March 1893 article entitled "The movements of our population", by then editor Henry Gannet, marks the first extensive use of charts in the magazine. It was not uncommon for an article to take the entire issue of the magazine, as shown in this restrained cover:
The story featured multiple charts and choropleth maps, starting with this comparison of urban and rural population at each census since the first American census, which took place in 1790 (the country's population was then enumerated to be 3,929,214).
This very original graph shows the evolution of the U.S. population and its ethnic breakdown from the first census to the latest at the time (1890). While "native" and "colored" population increases steadily, immigrant numbers grow exponentially, with a clear majority of German and Irish newcomers. It's a beautiful, clean design.
Another graph shows a breakdown of the population of large cities, this time less successfully. The heavy, dense grid and the patterns chosen make the chart appear to move from right to left. The perversely literal gradient moves from "white – native-born of native parents" (in white) to "white – native-born of foreign parents", then "white – foreign-born" and finally "colored" (in black).
The next chart (below) looks at the rate of increase of white and colored populations, a smart analysis and the best way to compare the growth or decrease of variables with very different absolute numbers. Quite remarkable for something done in 1893. I would have done the same thing today.
The sharp decrease of both groups in the 1860-1870 is no doubt consequence of the terrible losses during the Civil War.
The choropleth map at the bottom show the proportion of African-Americans to the total population, by state.
Another chart in the same story (below) offers an interesting comparison, paired with a graph showing immigration in each decade. Despite the up and downs, even the lowest data point signals a 10 percent increase over the previous decade, as the United States continued to attract immigrants.
Overall, the entire story is a great demographic analysis by Henry Gannet (1846-1914), an American geographer and founding member of the National Geographic Society and the United States Geological Survey. Gannet has been described as the "Father of the Quadrangle", which is the basis for topographical maps in the United States.
The chart below appears in the May, 1898 issue. Population increase is plotted against different measures of progress. Using both wealth and wealth per capita, and area versus population are indicative of the editors' efforts to provide good context to the story of population growth. However, the methodology or type of units in the y-axis are not explained. The series appears to have been indexed to show the percentage change since the first data point (the only way such different variables could be compared) but it's unclear how it all is supposed to work since the different lines don't always start at the same baseline.
Another interesting chart appears in a May 1900 article about the most recent Cuban census data. The first chart is a nice percent bar. Some of the other follow an odd spacial distribution (which doesn't make them wrong).
The wavy chart below is my favorite from the early days of National Geographic. A January, 1905 article on immigration included this beautiful work showing the immigrants coming to the United Stated every year from 1820 to 1904, by country of origin. Over a thousand data points are represented visually, and all numbers are included as well. The work is credited to F. P. Sargent, the Commissioner General of Immigration, but unfortunately the draftsman producing the chart is not mentioned.
A detail:
Looking at old Nat Geo issues is always a source of inspiration. We had the immigration graph in mind when we used the same visual approach for this 2007 chart showing sales of different music recording formats over time.
I think our immigration chart was very likely inspired by the work of Francis Amasa Walker (1840-1897) who was the Chief of the Bureau of Statistic in the 1870's and created the Statistical Atlas of the United States (1874), a remarkable visual work based on that census. The statistician used beautiful, elegant charts. The one in the middle in the example below will surely remind you of ours.
Another story in the same issue, entitled "The character of our immigration" by Z. F. McSweeny, shows the characteristic heavy grid of most charts at the turn of the century. It's a pity because they are otherwise beautiful, elegant and clear.
The story ends with this little oddity about inmates of different ethnic origins. I love the hand-lettering and the curious grouping of racial divisions.
The samples above are just a quick, random sampling from the early 1900's and even earlier. Today, our access to new technology and formidable amounts of information has spurred the many forms of the too prolific "data viz" field. It's good that such experimentation continues. But do a quick Google Images search for "data visualization" and you'll quickly see the state of affairs. Clarity in the transmission of information, which is the essential mandate in journalism, is not a priority for so many of today's data visualization designers. A simple bar chart is just not cool enough. But if you think of it, since William Playfair first plotted values on two axis with ink and paper there is really not a lot that has been invented in terms of accurately displaying numerical information with precision, clarity and familiarity (which breeds understanding) for readers.

While hope for an Ogdensburg casino was crushed by Tuesdays settlement with the Mohawks, Alexandria Bay might still be home to a racino.
The former owner of the Bonnie Castle Recreation Center, near Interstate 81, said the proposed racino a harness racetrack with a casino is not dead.
In the agreement reached between the state and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Council, which will resume the 2010 halted payments from the councils gaming operations in St. Lawrence County, the Mohawks were granted exclusivity to gaming in the eight-county upstate region.
However, according to Marc J. Fernandez, Baldwinsville, he and his father-in-law, Donald E. Cole, can continue pursuing their application for the proposed $140 million harness track and casino project that also included a hotel.
We were never going for a full-fledged casino, Mr. Fernandez said. I actually put a license in for harness racing and video lottery, the same as Vernon Downs and the Finger Lakes racino.
Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Cole since 2011 have been trying to obtain the eighth, and last remaining, harness-racing license available in New York from the state Gaming Commission.
Commission spokesman Lee Park said the constructs of the deal between the tribal council and the state allow for the pursuit of the application.
He was told he could proceed with his application, Mr. Park said. This is per the constructs of the deal between the Mohawks and the governors office.
Unlike the deal the state struck with the Oneida Nation on May 16, where no casinos would be built in the 10-county Central New York region, which includes Onondaga County, the Mohawk deal allows for the pursuit of the application for the license.
Along with the pursuit of the harness license, Mr. Fernandez said there is an application for video lottery terminals
Were certainly moving ahead on our project, Mr. Fernandez said. I think a lot of the other proposals out there are looking mainly for casino gambling, for black jack, poker, table games. We werent looking at those three years ago when we started this project. So it gives me hope.
Hope, however, was extinguished for the future of the proposal for a casino on a 10.3-acre parcel of Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority land which houses the state agencys Bridge Plaza administrative building.
The St. Lawrence County Economic Enhancement Committee agreed to withdraw their proposal for the OBPA casino during their meeting Wednesday night to show support for the governors agreement.
St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce is planning to withdraw its support of the proposal during its June 20 meeting.
You put yourself out there, and while we didnt get it this time, there might be another project out there, said Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, chairman of the economic enhancement committee,
The cooperation the county received on the proposal demonstrated that efforts were being made to promote economic development in the north country, Mr. Burns said.
Chamber Executive Director Patricia L. McKeown said she believed the proposal for the casino should be withdrawn really loudly.
Ms. McKeown said she will ask the chamber, at the next meeting, to withdraw their support for the proposal.
Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb, who is also the OBPAs deputy executive director, said he was fine with the lost opportunity of a casino on the site, especially since much needed revenue would be coming into the county.
Under the agreement, the tribe will pay $30 million of payments owed and 25 percent of future gaming revenues to the state.
In addition to resuming payments of 25 percent of their yearly electronic slot machine revenues, the tribe will pay the state half of the $60 million it has held in escrow since 2010. Franklin and St. Lawrence counties each will receive $1.8 million of that; the towns of Bombay, Fort Covington, Massena and Brasher each will get about $960,000. Under the new deal, the state will take 10 percent of slot machine money and distribute 10 percent among Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Jefferson, Warren and Lewis counties.

Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Clipperblog finds its way into the pages of Slate this morning with a review of John Amaechi's Man in the Middle.
Frankly, I think Hardaway's comments are a net-plus for the debate. Whatever harm the comments might do to the kid struggling with his sexuality in Wichita or Pocatello -- or New York City for that matter – is counterbalanced by the fact that we're finally getting honest. As Amaechi said in his response to Hardaway's remarks:
Finally, someone who is honest. It is ridiculous, absurd, petty, bigoted and shows a lack of empathy that is gargantuan and unfathomable. But it is honest. And it illustrates the problem better than any of the fuzzy language other people have used so far.
Amen. The metaphor I used in my email to Henry will be familiar to anyone who grew up with siblings. It's that old classic: One brother is beating the shit out of the other brother, then there's a knock. It's Mom, and she yells through the door, "What's going on in there?!" She cracks the door open and the older brother, like the cat with the canary, says, "Oh, nothing, Mom!' and flashes a big smile. Then Mom, with a furrowed brow, says, "Alright. Behave." Then she closes the door and, once she's out of an earshot, the kid goes back to beating the crap out of his brother." At least Hardaway said, "Mom, I'm thrashing my brother. He deserves it."
A couple of points I want to make because I don't think they've been included in the debate:
First, whether homosexuality is a choice or a matter of predetermined biology is irrelevant. What if it is a choice? In a civil society – and last time I checked, the United States loosely fits the criteria – you're free to live the way you want to live, provided it doesn't directly infringe on the rights of others.[1] So if it is a choice, it's my choice. Personally – as I am on the matter of Mike Dunleavy – I'm agnostic on the choice/predetermination question, largely because it's inconsequential for the aforementioned reason.
Second, for those who are "sick of getting the story rammed down their throat," the story isn't for you. In a nation of laws with a free press, we all get tired of certain stories. I didn't need to hear a single word about Anna Nicole Smith, and if ESPN runs another NASCAR segment, I may eat my hat. Living in Los Angeles as a sports fan and an excessive listener of Sports radio, I get far too much Lakers news. But you know what? Those stories weren't composed for me. So consider for a moment that the Amaechi story isn't for your edification. It's for the kid playing point guard at Mason City High who is scared to fucking death of dealing with his true inner life, or the kid whose father refers to the guy who just cut him off on the highway as "faggot." Or me. John Amaechi just made sports a little more hospitable to gay people. So if you're exhausted from the coverage, then cut off ESPN8, step away from the computer and spend a couple of days with your family, friends, or dog. Everyone needs some media decompression every once in a while. Here's your chance.
Third, you don't need to know about a player's personal life behind his bedroom door? Really? Because I remember endless hours of coverage and a civic obsession about what happened behind Kobe's door a few years back. Or
I mentioned in my last post about this that I wasn't an identity politics kind of guy. But if Tim Hardaway is going to shit where I live, then I'll take up arms. It really isn't a close call.
[1] And spare me the dishonest parallels to pedophilia and bestiality. We're talking about two consenting adults. Actually, we're not talking about two adults. We're talking about a single individual choosing an identity irrespective of anyone else.

The Opening Day ticket scenario
Today, the Mets unveiled their holiday ticket offers, which include pre-arranged four packs and a limited number of seats to April and May home games, including Opening Day.
Here is a break down in price for single game Opening Day prices, courtesy of Mets.com:
In contrast, for Wednesday, tickets for April 3rd's game against San Diego (the second home game of the season) start at $12 for Promenade Outfield and go as high as $125 for Metropolitan Gold.
Brian ErniThe price disparity between Opening Day and the rest of the first home series is not abnormal. What does seem excessive is the high prices for Opening Day. I assume the goal is to price Opening Day tickets so high (on their own) that they motivate people to buy the comparably-priced Holiday Four Packs. For instance, four Thursday afternoon games (April 4th against the Padres, April 25th against the Dodgers, June 13 against the Cardinals, September 19 against the Giants), known as the "Matinee Pack." For comparative purposes, a Baseline Silver ticket to all four of those games by taking advantage of the pack would be $179, which also includes a ticket to All Star Fan Fest at the Javits Center. As you can see on the chart above, that's only $10 more than the single game price for Opening Day. So the intention, right or wrong, is that – by bumping up the Opening Day prices – it makes the four packs more attractive. As a result, the Mets would stand to get a bigger turn-out for games that are more difficult for people to attend (because of school, work, etc.).
On a personal note, my father and I attend Opening Day every year. He has issues with heights, so we spring for field level seats. I don't usually balk at typically inflated prices. However, these prices raised eyebrows in the Erni family.
In fairness to the Mets, they've done a good job making tickets actually available to fans who want to buy seats prior to the holidays as gifts for loved ones – an opportunity I thought they had been missing for a while. But, the push back they've been getting on the single game Opening Day seats seems to have made this strategy of pushing the four pack plans over single game Opening Day seats an ineffective one.
It's worth noting, you could not buy Opening Day seats last year as a non-plan holder before March, when Flushing Flash, Club Mets, and other presales opened up just prior to tickets being put on sale to the general public. I would rather have seen the Mets reward die hard fans looking to lock in to Opening Day roughly four-and-a-half months in advance, than artificially inflating prices to ultimately drive up attendance on less desirable dates.

Lincoln - A total of 58 Husker student-athletes, including 12 Nebraska football players, earned their diplomas at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's commencement exercises on Saturday morning.
The diverse group of 58 graduates included five Huskers who combined to earn eight CoSIDA Academic All-America awards so far in their careers. It also included extremely talented individuals in competition, from a WNBA first-round draft pick to an NCAA bowling champion and individual All-Americans in track and field, women's basketball, bowling, women's gymnastics and an NCAA finalist in air rifle.
Among the 12 football players from Coach Bo Pelini's Husker program, four earned their degrees before completing their final season of eligibility on the field, including Jason Ankrah, Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Brent Qvale and Jeremiah Sirles. Two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American Sean Fisher, along with Justin Blatchford, Jesse Coffey, Jase Dean, P.J. Mangieri and Matt Manninger also received their diplomas Saturday.
Former Husker All-American and NFL defensive back Josh Bullocks earned his degree after majoring in sociology at Nebraska. Bullocks, a native of Chattanooga, Tenn., record 291 tackles during his six year NFL career with the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears from 2004 to 2009. Bullocks earned All-America status in 2003, before being drafted in the second round of the 2004 NFL Draft by the Saints.
Coach Gary Pepin's men's and women's track and field program contributed a solid group of 12 graduates, including nine men and three women. Bjorn Barrefors, a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American and Nebraska's 2013 Male Student-Athlete of the Year, headlines track and field's contingent. The multi-eventer from Stockholm, Sweden, will earn his degree in computer science. Nate Polacek (Kearney, Neb.) and Brett Grieb (York, Neb.) give the track and field programs two more 2012 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans set to graduate. Barrefors, Polacek and Chris Phipps also represented the track graduates as All-Americans in competition, along with Jessica Furlan, who earned All-America honors on the track in 2012. Furlan, Katie White and Erica Hamik all represented the Huskers in both track and field and cross country during their careers.
Coach Tim Miles' Nebraska men's basketball program was represented by four graduates on Saturday, led by 2013 seniors Brandon Ubel and Andre Almeida. Former Huskers Mike Fox and Christopher Niemann also will receive diplomas.
On the women's basketball side, 2013 All-American and WNBA first-round draft pick Lindsey Moore earned her degree in communication studies. Moore, a point guard from Covington, Wash., was a four-year starter for the Huskers and set the school career assist record with 699. She started more games, won more games and played more minutes than any other Husker in history while leading Coach Connie Yori's squad to a pair of NCAA Sweet 16 appearances.
Coach Darin Erstad's baseball team featured four graduates, led by current Huskers Chad Christensen and Zach Hirsch. Both NU seniors represented Nebraska in competition at Hawks Field on Saturday as the Huskers opened a key Big Ten home series with No. 16 Indiana.
Coach Rhonda Revelle's Nebraska softball team also contributed four graduates to NU's class, led by former standout pitcher and CoSIDA Academic All-American Ashley Hagemann (Elkhorn, Neb.). The Nebraska wrestling team added four grads to the group, while the men's golf team featured three graduates from a team that has won three consecutive Herman Awards for producing NU's top men's team grade-point average.
Coach Scott Jacobson's women's tennis team featured a pair of graduates - Janine Weinreich and Stefanie Weinstein - from the most successful tennis teams in school history in recent years. The women's tennis team has also won back-to-back Herman Awards and will play host to NCAA Tournament for the first time in NU history May 10-11 in Lincoln.
The men's tennis team, volleyball, women's swimming and diving team and the rifle team each contributed a pair of graduates, while the men's and women's gymnastics teams, women's golf and bowling teams each added one graduate this spring.
Kristi Mickelson from Bellevue, Neb., was the lone senior on Coach Bill Straub's national champion bowling team in 2013. Mickelson led the Huskers to their fourth NCAA title in the past 10 years before capturing an individual national championship of her own at the IBC X-Singles Championships a week later. Mickelson was also an outstanding student as a dual major in criminology and criminal justice/psychology who could contend for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors later this spring.
NU's May 2013 graduates came from near and far to call Nebraska home during their careers. The group came to Lincoln from 16 states, including 25 native Nebraskans. Members of the graduating class also came from four foreign countries, including Brazil, Canada, Germany and Sweden.
Nebraska continues to feature one of the highest graduation rates in the country, while leading the nation in the number of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (302) and NCAA Top Eight Award winners (16) across all sports.

Find The Love of Your Life At Asheville Humane Society!
Our progressive adoption program places thousands of lost, abandoned and unwanted pets with loving families each year. Adoption fees range from Pick Your Price for adult cats to various fees for kittens. Dogs and puppies range between $35-$250. These fees help offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals that need our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home.
The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition and public demand. Animals with a higher adoption price provide us with more resources for the other animals in our care who may need extensive medical care or more time to find a loving home.
Our adopters tell us that our professional adoption counselors are warm, friendly, informative and patient as they assist adopters in finding a love match. Our mission is to help you find a pet that meets your expectations and lifestyle.
Our staff is helpful and courteous throughout the process. Youre invited to visit with a prospective pet in one of our get acquainted rooms. We also offer Meet-N-Greets for adopters wishing to introduce a current dog to a potential new playmate.
For more information regarding our adoption procedure, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Outdoor Research Men's Helium II Jacket
Fantastic lightweight rain jacket, but at the cost of adjustability. I picked up the Helium II as a replacement for my old RedHed rain jacket which finally gave out after 7 years of abuse. While I have only had the Helium II for a few months now, the amount of rain and wind we've had lately has given me plenty of opportunities to test it! FIT: I ordered my Helium II one size too large with the intention of layering it over a down jacket while hiking. Even with this in mind, the fit is very nice. Full review
Arc'teryx Men's Theta SL Jacket
My Theta SL has been my go-to jacket for any serious trip—Kilimanjaro, Himalayan treks, Inca Trail, spray jacket on a two-week Patagonian kayak trip and winter trips in the Sierras. This has been my favorite garment for many years. The 16 oz weight always seems a bit excessive for carrying around when it does not rain, but I find I wear it continuously when I do take it. I recall on Kili where I had both the Theta SL and a Marmot Precip, thinking that I would leave the heavier Theta SL in the… Full review
Rab Men's Neo Guide Jacket
Super breathable jacket that is a perfect fit for nearly ever activity. It's better than most of my softshells, but is waterproof, has more pockets storage then my 8 litre running pack, and is durable. It's a bit on the bulky side as it is designed it be worn over hefty layers, but it seems even a bit too big for that. I Found it to be a bombproof layer for alrounders alpine pursuits. Fit Disclaimer: I'm 5'10" 155 lbs and very lean. I have small shoulders, a 29-inch waist and always fit a size small. Full review
Patagonia Men's Super Alpine Jacket
Very nice jacket. Seems to be very well made and is holding up well. The jackets seem to run true to size. I am 6 foot 190 pounds and the large fits well. Loose enough that you can layer it, but not so loose that you can't easily wear it alone, which is what I normally do. No flaws in it so far with skiing or other outdoor activities. I like that it has a high collar that zipped up keeps the elements from around my neck. Vents well, and all cords, zippers etc. holding up well after one season of… Full review
Patagonia Super Pluma Jacket
Great all around jacket, built for anything. Will keep you dry. I bought this jacket for backpacking, but after a couple uses, it became my everything jacket. Quickly replaced my go-to ski jacket, found myself wearing it for chilly bike rides, short little strolls through the woods, kayaking and canoeing in the spring and fall. Extremely windproof and waterproof, and with its light weight there is really no reason not to bring it along. The first time I took it out on a trip, 65 degree temps dropped… Full review
Frogg Toggs Ultra-Lite2 Rain Suit
Great lightweight rain suit, but material was not very durable. I purchased this set for a Boy Scout camping trip about a year ago. They were 14 dollars at Walmart, which seemed like a good deal. It comes with its own little storage pouch and they fold down really small and lightweight so packing them in a backpack is easy. The outer material is some sort of plastic like a tyvek suit. It does a good job of keeping the rain off of you, but without any sort of vents built in you quickly start to… Full review
Rab Flashpoint Jacket
In point, this jacket is all one needs for a fast and light, fully protected hardshell. See detailed review below. Testing: I tested the Flashpoint Jacket in the best backyard a guy can ask for: Glacier National Park. Scrambling peaks, backcountry ski missions where weight was to be kept at a minimum. It was my go-to shell and my only means of protection from wind/water/snow. Only other thing I'd bring was a good insulated piece. Sizing/Fit: I am a slightly 145 pounds and 5'10" guy, which seems… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Men's Exposure II Parka
Great waterproofing and an overall good shell, but after less than six months one of the chest zippers ripped. Not something you expect when you pay $280 for a shell. REI took it back and gave me store credit, but by then the shell was out of stock. So, you either pay more for the Arc'teryx shell or buy a store brand. Disappointed in the quality overall. Poor workmanship. Expected more for the price. Full review
Stoic Vaporshell 3L Anorak
Great wp/b shell, usually at an affordable price Fit & Comfort: I purchased a medium, my typical size, which I found to be a bit on the slim side and a little shorter than I would have expected, the sleeves are more than adequate length for me. I've worn it comfortably in the rain and in windy weather. It is an effort to slip on due to the slim fit and half zipper. Unzipping the side zipper makes getting it on and off easier, though. Adjustability: There is a draw cord around the waist and in… Full review
