I'd Like a Burger With My Historical-Bar Brew

Dear Grub Street,
Here's one I've puzzled over. Who has the better burger: Corner Bistro or White Horse Tavern?

Dear Grub Street,
Here's one I've puzzled over. Who has the better burger: Corner Bistro or White Horse Tavern?
The Corner Bistro has enjoyed a long ride as one of New York's top-rated burgers, but it's been coasting on its rep for years now. You'll notice that out of twelve suggestions for burger honors in this year's Best of New York, the Bistro didn't come up once. Their version is often partially pre-cooked, left sitting, and warmed once ordered. The burger comes quickly when the kitchen's busy, but it's gristly. We believe you should cross the street and try the uncelebrated Tavern on Jane, where you can get a fresh, gorgeously browned sirloin burger (we take it festooned with sautéed mushrooms). The White Horse, meanwhile, serves a solid enough bar patty, so if you're stuck on these two places, it's the only one to visit.

Nervous System
Leporine Dysautonomia
Leporine dysautonomia occurs in rabbits and wild hares, and fatal cases have been reported in the UK. Gross lesions are similar to those of equine dysautonomia, including gastric distention, colonic impaction, and weight loss. Histopathologic changes in the central and peripheral nervous systems are almost identical to those found in horses, cats, and dogs.

Yorkshire cities are in final 21 of 350 entries to a global brainstorming on urban living. Both are keen to have more suggestions to add to their portfolios
Sheffield and York are in with a chance of piloting new ideas for sustainable living via an international competition whose results will be announced in San Francisco in May next year.
Both cities join London on a final shortlist prepared by the Living Labs Global organisation's project Pilot the Future which initially looked at submissions from 350 places around the world.
Five will be picked to present their suggestions at San Francisco on practical ways of improving mobility, economic development, social inclusion, health and wellbeing, urban management, lighting, energy, culture, future government and sustainable lifestyles. Local people and institutions are now being asked for ideas to supplement those already being considered by Sheffield and York city councils.[view whole blog post ]

For the sake of proceeding let us define instruction in creative writing as the performance of practical criticism, by an instructor and members of a class, upon original poems and stories submitted by members of the class. All who participate in this instruction are, therefore, literary critics.
(Dave Smith 1985:218)
What distinguishes the Creative Writing workshop from the class in Literary Studies? The obvious answer is that students in the former produce 'creative' or literary works for assessment, while students in the latter produce essays in literary theory or criticism. Hence a distinction can be made between the writing and reading of literature. This leads, however, to an unconvincing division between supposedly original and primary creative writing and the mere secondary commentary of critical writing (which is only a form of reading). If we examine what actually goes on in a writing workshop we quickly realise that, like the class in Literary Studies, it is a discussion of texts. Some practical exercises in form or observation or automatic writing may be conducted in the workshop, but the actual work which will be submitted for assessment is written outside class and read inside class. Because of the emphasis on workshopping one might even claim that there is more actual reading in a Creative Writing class than in a Literary Studies class. The objects of discussion in the latter tend to be works of literature and their critical commentaries, as well as general theoretical works. In Creative Writing the objects of discussion may include general accounts of the creative process, handbooks of writing, perhaps even some critical commentaries, but tend to be either exemplary texts (by which I mean published works of literature deemed to be worthy of analysis

Re: Confusion with equivalent focal lengths, SEL18-200mm and SAL70-300mm
Ignore the "equivalent" talk. One is 200mm the other is 300mm and therefore 50% "longer"(greater apparent magnification .
The statements about "APS-C" and "Full frame and APS-C" refer to what cameras the lens can be used. That is, the APS-C would not work with a full frame but the full frame will work with both.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

JERUSALEM — Eager to reassure an anxious ally, President Barack Obama on Wednesday promised to work closely with Israel and do whatever is necessary to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear arms, "the world's worst weapons." He also pledged to investigate whether chemical weapons were used this week in neighboring Syria's two-year-old civil war.
Obama, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his first visit to the Jewish state as president, said of Iran's nuclear ambitions: "We prefer to resolve this diplomatically and there is still time to do so." But he added that "all options are on the table" if diplomacy falls short.
"The question is, will Iranian leadership seize that opportunity," he added. The president said Iran's past behavior indicates that "we can't even trust yet, much less verify."
Netanyahu, at Obama's side for a joint news conference, said that while he appreciated U.S. efforts to thwart Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons through diplomacy and sanctions, those tools "must be augmented by a clear and credible threat of military action."
"I am absolutely convinced that the president is determined to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons," Netanyahu said. "I appreciate that. I appreciate the fact that the president has reaffirmed, more than any other president, Israel's right and duty to defend itself by itself against any threat."
The Israeli leader said that he and Obama agree that it would take Iran about a year to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Obama said there is "not a lot of light, a lot of daylight" between the two leaders in intelligence assessments about Iran, and Netanyahu concurred.
Although preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is a priority of both Israel and the United States, Netanyahu and Obama have differed on precisely how to achieve that.
Israel repeatedly has threatened to take military action should Iran appear to be on the verge of obtaining a bomb. The U.S. has pushed for more time to allow diplomacy and economic penalties to run their course, though Obama insists military action is an option.
Obama also took note of the difficult way forward in the broader quest for Mideast peace, acknowledging that in recent years "we haven't gone forward, we haven't seen the kind of progress that we would like to see."
The president said he came to the region principally to listen, and hoped to return home with a better understanding of the constraints and "how the U.S. can play a constructive role."
"This is a really hard problem," he declared.
Netanyahu, for his part, said he was willing to set aside preconditions in future talks with the Palestinians, adding that it was time to "turn a page in our relations."
On another troubling issue in the region, Obama said the U.S. is investigating whether chemical weapons have been deployed in Syria, and he said he was "deeply skeptical" of contentions by Syrian President Bashar Assad's government that rebel forces were behind any such attack.
Both the Assad government and Syrian rebels have accused each other of using chemical weapons in an attack on Tuesday.
Obama said the U.S. policy not to intervene militarily or arm Syrian rebels thus far is based on his desire to solve the problem with world partners.
"It's a world problem when tens of thousands of people are being slaughtered, including innocent women and children," Obama said.
Obama's visit to Israel, from the start, has been designed to send a message of reassurance to a key ally.
At an extravagant welcoming ceremony, Obama sounded a message that "peace must come to the Holy Land" and that such a goal could not be achieved at Israel's expense. U.S. backing for Israel will be a constant as the Middle East roils with revolution and Iran continues work on its nuclear program, he said.
"The United States is proud to stand with you as your strongest ally and your greatest friend," Obama said after landing at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport.
"Across this region the winds of change bring both promise and peril," he said, calling his visit "an opportunity to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds between our nations, to restate America's unwavering commitment to Israel's security, and to speak directly to the people of Israel and to your neighbors."
Seeking to alter a perception among many Israelis that his government has been less supportive of Israel than previous U.S. administrations, Obama declared the U.S.-Israeli alliance "eternal."
"It is forever," he said to applause as Israeli and U.S. flags fluttered in a steady breeze under clear, sunny skies.
Even before leaving the airport for Jerusalem, Obama offered a vivid display of the U.S. commitment to Israeli security by visiting a missile battery that is part of Israel's Iron Dome defense from militant rocket attacks. The United States has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in developing the system with Israel.
Obama and Netanyahu toured the battery, brought to the airport for the occasion. They met and chatted with soldiers who operate the system that Israel credits with intercepting hundreds of rockets during a round of fighting against Gaza militants last November.
Netanyahu, who sparred frequently with Obama over the course of the U.S. president's first term, praised the president.
"Thank you for standing by Israel at this time of historic change in the Middle East," he said. "Thank you for unequivocally affirming Israel's sovereign right to defend itself by itself against any threat."
Obama, who joked that he was "getting away from Congress" by visiting Israel, planned to visit several cultural and religious sites aimed at showing his understanding of the deep and ancient connections between the Jewish people and the land that is now Israel.
He will also meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank and travel to Jordan before returning home on Saturday.
Even though U.S. officials have set expectations low and previewed no major policy pronouncements, a clear measure of the success of Obama's Israel trip will be how much he is able to reverse negative perceptions.
The centerpiece of the visit will be a speech to Israeli university students on Thursday, during which Obama will again renew U.S. security pledges as Israel seeks to counter threats from Iran, protect its people from any spillover in the Syrian civil war and maintain its shaky peace accord with an Egypt that is now controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Obama will visit the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority's headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah, where he will meet the embattled Abbas and assure him that an independent Palestinian state remains a U.S. foreign policy and national security priority.
As Israelis warmly greeted Obama, Palestinians held several small protests in the West Bank and Gaza. Demonstrators in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip burned posters of Obama and U.S. flags, accusing the U.S. of being biased toward Israel.
In the West Bank, about 200 activists erected about a dozen tents in an area just outside of Jerusalem to draw attention to Israel's policy of building settlements. The tents were pitched in E1, a strategically located area where Israel has said it plans on building thousands of homes. The U.S. has harshly criticized the plan.
Obama will close out his Mideast trip with a 24-hour stop in Jordan, an important U.S. ally, where his focus will be on the violence in Syria. More than 450,000 Syrians have fled to Jordan, crowding refugee camps and overwhelming aid organizations.
In his talks with Jordan's King Abdullah, Obama also will try to shore up the country's fledgling attempts to liberalize its government and stave off an Arab Spring-style movement similar to the ones that have ousted leaders elsewhere in the region.

Internationally acclaimed broadcast journalist Barbara Walters announced today that she has donated $1million to Sarah Lawrence College to support a permanent public exhibition gallery in the soon-to-be constructed Monika A. and Charles A. Heimbold, Jr. Visual Arts Center.
The announcement was made at the ceremonial groundbreaking for the 61,000 square foot center, the centerpiece of a $25 million building project to be completed in the fall of 2004, that will reflect "a new vision for the way the arts are taught" said College President Michele Tolela Myers.
"Sarah Lawrence is delighted to have the opportunity to honor our distinguished alumna and to recognize her contributions to the College by naming the gallery the Barbara Walters Exhibition Gallery," said President Myers. The gallery will be the most prominent space in the new visual arts center, designed by Polshek Partnership Architects, to meet the increasing — and changing — demands for studies in the visual arts and visual culture at Sarah Lawrence. It will be open to the public and will display works of prominent artists as well as the work of faculty and students.
In a letter to the Board of Trustees of Sarah Lawrence College, Walters wrote:
"I am so excited about the new visual arts center and would like to support this effort as an expression of my belief that the arts matter and should be supported, and that the unique kind of education the College offers — the Sarah Lawrence Difference, as we call it — needs to be preserved."
The Sarah Lawrence Difference: Preserve It. Enrich It, is a comprehensive $75 million campaign that includes the visual arts center as well as funds for scholarships, faculty support, technology and renovation of spaces for living and learning, all intended to help maintain the distinctiveness of the Sarah Lawrence education and its unique role in higher education. Focused on learning "in the singular," Sarah Lawrence has one of the lowest student to faculty ratios (9:1) in the country with small classes and individual conferences between students and their professors.
In addition to her desire to support the arts, Walters has said that she contributed the sizable gift to the College, the largest donation she has ever made, because she loved her experience at Sarah Lawrence and has "great admiration for Dr. Myers." She has further stated that she wants to help inspire others to give to the campaign. Walters joins other lead donors to the visual arts center including the Heimbolds, Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman through Newman's Own, Josephine Merck, Pamela Howard, Ruth Leff Siegel, Ann Tenenbaum and Thomas Lee and Margot Bogert.
Founded in 1926, Sarah Lawrence is a liberal arts college for men and women with a distinctive system of education that fosters close contact between students and faculty and includes the integration of the arts within the curriculum.

In the 1880s, agricultural education in Minnesota was in trouble: farmers would not travel to the Twin Cities for classes, and university students did not want to study farming. Oren C. Gregg, a successful dairy farmer from Lyon County, Minnesota, saved the day by bringing lectures directly to Minnesota farmers.
