Investment Gap of $16 Billion Will Weaken US Ports and Inland Waterways, ASCE Finds
Aging infrastructure for marine ports, inland waterways and airports threatens more than 1 million U.S. jobs, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) said in a September report.

Between now and 2020, investment needs in the nation's marine ports and inland waterways sector total $30 billion, while planned expenditures are about $14 billion, leaving a total investment gap of nearly $16 billion. ASCE's 'Failure to Act' report concludes that transporting goods will become costlier, prices will rise and the U.S. will become less competitive in the global market if the gap is unfilled.

With the scheduled expansion of the Panama Canal by 2015, the average size of container ships is likely to increase significantly, which will affect operations at most major U.S. ports that handle containerized cargo and requiring both sectors to modernize. Needed investment in marine ports includes harbor and channel dredging, while inland waterways require new or rehabilitated lock and dam facilities.

The U.S. has 300 commercial ports, 12,000 miles of inland and intracoastal waterways and about 240 lock chambers, which carry more than 70 percent of U.S. imports by tonnage and about half of U.S. imports by value. The ASCE said $15.8 billion more in investment up to 2020 will enable the U.S. to protect $270 billion in exports, $697 billion in gross domestic product and 738,000 jobs annually.

Costs attributable to delays in the nation's inland waterways system amounted to $33 billion in 2010 and are expected to increase to nearly $49 billion by 2020.

Obama and Romney Answer Questions On US Ocean Policy
The 2012 U.S. presidential candidates in September answered a series of science questions from ScienceDebate.org. Among them was the role the federal government should play in protecting the environmental health and economic vitality of the oceans.

President Barack Obama focused on coastal restoration and his National Ocean Policy, while Republican candidate Mitt Romney addressed safeguarding U.S. fisheries' health.

Obama said that by establishing the National Ocean Policy, the federal government has prioritized a proactive approach to improve ocean conservation. His administration is also directing additional funding to Gulf Coast restoration to rehabilitate the fisheries and coastal ecosystems in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Other policy moves under Obama include the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, Chesapeake Bay cleanup, more than $1.4 billion investment in Everglades' restoration, the creation or enhancement of more than 540 public coastal recreation areas, protection of more than 54,000 acres of coastlines, restoration of more than 5,200 acres of coastal habitat and greater investment in fisheries monitoring.

Romney said the maintenance of fisheries represents a significant regulatory challenge: 'The question, though, is what form of governance should be employed: where are international agreements required, where is government regulation most appropriate, and where can the fishing industry itself serve as the best steward?' He said he would seek input from fishermen to accommodate their needs.

Researchers Honored with Golden Goose Awards For Federally Funded Coralline Bone Graft Work
Drs. Eugene White, Rodney White, Della Roy and the late Jon Weber were among the recipients in September of the new Golden Goose Awards that highlight obscure scientific research that has led to important discoveries. They had developed bone grafts from coral found in tropical oceans.

The research interests that led to coralline bone grafts began in the 1960s, when Weber was studying the chemical composition of South Pacific coral. Weber asked Eugene White to examine their skeletons using scanning electron microscopy. White found a new range of 3D architecture in the skeletons, with uniform and interconnected pores. Without any particular application in mind, White made molds of the coral in ceramic, polymers and metals.

In 1971, Rodney White, Eugene White's nephew, compared the coral's structure to the porous ceramics and metals being developed for bone grafts. The coral structure was ideal for allowing blood vessels to grow into an implant, promoting new bone growth.

The coral could not be used as bone graft material because it was made of calcium carbonate, which broke down in the body before new bone could grow on it, but Roy developed a method to substitute for the calcium carbonate while retaining the coral's microstructure using hydroxyapatite, a mineral in bones and teeth. Now, coralline bone grafts compatible with the human body are widely used to treat bone injury and deformity.

US House Oversight Subcommittee Criticizes Alleged Mismanagement of Weather Service Funds
The U.S. House Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight held a hearing in September to examine what led to an unauthorized reprogramming of millions of dollars for NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS).

Also in September, the House passed a continuing resolution to maintain funding for key science agencies and departments through March 2013. NOAA would get additional funding for continued work on the Joint Polar Satellite System and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system for monitoring weather and climate data, with the first of two launches scheduled for 2017.

A 2011 NOAA report and a 2012 joint NOAA and Department of Commerce report provide the basis for memos that mention a financial unit that 'operated outside the bounds of acceptable financial management' and that employees engaged in the transfer of potentially millions of NWS funds without Congressional knowledge.

Commerce Department Inspector General Todd J. Zinser testified that in April his office received a complaint that NOAA officials outside of NWS had knowledge of the improper transfer of funds. The office received another complaint from a senior NWS employee, who raised concerns about how NWS continues to handle its financial challenges, including the lack of sufficient oversight and appropriate measures to mitigate funding shortfalls.

NOAA and the Department of Commerce did not provide a witness for the hearing.

    Personal Bio

    Developed a nationally recognized contextual education program at the School of Theology and Ministry, which involved experiential learning, in a practical ministerial setting, and a disciplined reflection process with a seasoned member of the faculty and peer classmates. Students are required to use the tools of theological reflection to better understand pastoral formation and articulating a workable theology based on scripture and tradition. Cunningham reported that when students had to come to terms with their own questions, the greatest learning took place. He created a crucible of trust where students could challenge assumptions; explore family of origin impact on ministerial role, authority and self-esteem, refine pastoral skill sets and do theology.

CPS-3 Enrollment - Lehigh Valley, PA
  Main Image

Research today for a cancer-free tomorrow.

The Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) is helping to create a world with less cancer...and more birthdays. CPS-3 is a grassroots effort where local communities from across the country can support cancer research not just through fundraising efforts, but also by participating actively in this historic research study.

The American Cancer Society’s Epidemiology Research Program is inviting men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who have never personally been diagnosed with cancer to join this historic study.  The ultimate goal is to enroll at least 300,000 adults from various racial/ethnic backgrounds from across the U.S. The purpose of CPS-3 is to better understand the lifestyle, behavioral, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations.

Participation is easy and enrollment is available in your local community. Local enrollment is being made possible in partnership with St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Rothrock Motor Sales and Capital Blue (Cross). Your initial enrollment requires two steps and will involve the following:

  • After scheduling your enrollment appointment, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with instructions to go online and complete your first, most comprehensive survey. This survey will ask you questions regarding medications you are taking, family history of cancer, lifestyle and other behaviors.  This survey should be completed prior to your appointment time.
  • At your appointment, you will be asked to sign an informed consent form, complete a brief survey, as well as provide a waist circumference measurement and a small blood sample (similar to a doctor’s visit). The blood sample will be taken by a certified, trained phlebotomist.  Your appointment should last approximately 20 - 30 minutes.

Enrollment is taking place at:
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church
340 North Lehigh Avenue
Wind Gap, PA 18091

I came in yesterday to find that there was a new version of SA, so I downloaded and installed it.

During the process of opening our current project, SA went through it's regular steps of upgrading the project, only part way through it threw the error: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'meta' of null".

This seems to have prevented the conversion from happening, and now we have an empty project. Restoring from the backed up archive and trying the conversion again gave us the same error. Anyone have any ideas how to either downgrade back to 2.2.1 or resolve the error?

You Don't Have To Sell Out To Blog In This Industry

Apr 27, 2009 • 9:01 am | comments (3) by twitter Google+ | Filed Under Search Engine Industry News

One of the oldest areas of unspoken SEO blogging is the SEO Code. In short, blogging (now inclusive of Twitter) is a dangerous thing in this industry. On the one hand, you want to break stories, post something unique and different and even cause a buzz to get lots of people talking about your blog. On the other hand, you don't want to be ousted by the community for 'outing' any other SEO.

Todd (aka Stuntdubl) took the time to write a post named What's your SEO code? In that post is classifies various types of people in the industry. But I take offense to the classification of the "Journalist" and I'll quote him:

For people whose business model is based on news, hype, ratings, and traffic - they’re going to out as much stuff as they can to get the traffic. Just the same as traditional media, they are not active practicioners of SEO. The trouble becomes when you are an active practicioner of SEO and don’t respect your craft enough to have a solid code.

Todd is the same person who commented on our code, the Search Engine Roundtable Code of Ethics - which was one of the first ever code of ethics written in the SEO blogging space. Todd said then, in 2005:

Very nice to put the "unwritten rules" down on paper Barry. You've done a very nice job earning everyone's respect, and it's a tough thing to do.

Being one of the people who probably generates the most news or journalistic oriented content in this industry. I.e. I write several posts here per day and write several at Search Engine Land, including manage virtually all the topics that get written by other authors or go into the SearchCap. I might take offense when Todd, who I respect, calls Journalists in our industry people who do not "respect your craft." That cannot be further from the truth.

I know Todd was likely not thinking of me personally when calling Journalists out - so I have no ill-will towards him. But some might take Todd's blog post the wrong way, which is why I write about it today.

From someone who has been writing in this industry for six years or so. From someone who created one of the first SEO blogging ethics ever. From someone who, I believe, never really crossed that line. I hope the Search Engine Roundtable and Search Engine Land prove that you don't have to sell out to blog in this industry.

Planning application requirements: Biodiversity survey and report

If sites have a significant local ecological impact, the applicant will be required to submit a Biodiversity survey and report.

Developments that do not affect sites of national or international environmental importance or give rise to complex environmental impacts are not likely to require an Environmental Statement under the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations.

Protected species

If the site has or is likely to have the habitat of any protected species or is used by protected species, a (licensed) survey from a specialist consultant will be needed.

In some cases, surveys can only be carried out at specific times of the year which may delay submission of the planning application.

Protected species are identified in The Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc) Regulations 1994, which includes schedules of European protected species of animals and plants.

Those most commonly affected by developments in Sheffield include: badgers; bats; great crested newts; water voles; otters and nesting birds (other than pests).

Ecological interest

Ecological interest areas are identified in the Unitary Development Plan and Nature Conservation Strategy, copies of which can be seen at First Point and at libraries.

Our Ecology Unit should be contacted early in the planning process to ascertain the need for and scope of any Ecological Assessment.

The Assessment could require either a full ecological survey and report or an individual species survey and report.

Any report should: assess the impact of development; provide details of any mitigation and enhancement measures proposed; justify any unavoidable impacts; and include proposals for the long term maintenance and management of any remaining areas of biodiversity value.

The Ecology Unit can provide details of local experts able to carry out specialised habitat assessments using local knowledge.

We should be alerted to any issues relating to badger setts, because the location of these will not normally be published online with other application details, due to the exceptional threats to this species.

Natural England provide a wide range of leaflets with advice on wildlife, problems that may occur, how these can be resolved and guidance notes to help with the separate licensing process.

Description: Description: How could anyone improve on the clear plastic breadboard. I mean, that’s pretty sweet right?

What if it was red?

This translucent red breadboard is probably the coolest looking regular, solderless breadboard there is. It has 2 power buses, 30 columns, and 10 rows - a total of 400 tie in points. All pins are spaced by a standard 0.1". The two sets of five rows are separated by about 0.3", perfect for straddling a DIP package over. The board accepts wire sizes in the range of 29-20AWG.

This board also has a self-adhesive on the back. The boards also have interlocking parts, so you can hook as many together as you’d like.

Dimensions: 3.29 x 2.15 x 0.33" (83.5 x 54.5 x 8.5mm)

Customer Comments

  • Now all we need is a Translucent blue and Translucent green one.

  • The fact that the bus strips are not in line with the terminal strips is annoying to me. On the other hand, red is awesome!

    • I’ve seen this offset on other breadboards as well - seems to be purposeful

    • One the one hand, I can relate to annoyance at trival details (this happens to me as well). On the other hand, I really can’t think of many instances where the offset would matter much. Off-hand the only things I can think of in a package where the offest would matter that could usefully be tied directly to a terminal strip would be DIP switchs or maybe a resistor network…

      In any case, I am in unqualified agreement about the awesomeness of red!:)

  • Can you make a pink one please? Translucent or solid is fine.

  • My older students comment that it’s really hard to see small parts on both the clear and red translucent breadboards. Tough to make sure component leads end up where you want them to go. Any chance for a traditional white one in this size?

  • This + this =TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!!!!!1!!1111!!!!!!

  • My design teachers taught that every material will show you its true nature if you let it. Well, this is the true nature of plastic. Thanks for allowing it to shine!

  • Someone tell me how you’re supposed to use this… I think I need one but I don’t know how to use these.

    • Everybody needs a breadboard - but if you’re not sure how to use it, you may wish to start here: wikipedia:Breadboard.

      Personally I wouldn’t go with this red, unless you really like the color (and I suspect you’d find greater affinity with a green one), and instead go with the more common white, and wouldn’t be stingy about it; the ‘translucent white’ listed in the related products below, for example, does have a number of comments that indicate greater quality is to be had from brand name breadboards.

      If you do get a breadboard, check out SparkFun’s breadboard-related products - the breadboard power supplies, for example, should prove to be very useful :)

  • Once one sticks this board onto the holder, can one safely get it off? I would like to flip it around.

    • You probably could, but I would recommend trying to use some adhesive remover. Which would then also probably require then gluing or taping the board down. In other words, yes, most likely, but it’s going to be a pain.

  • Alas, I can’t see the black lettering. Perhaps White would be nice.

  • These should solve all the issues that the clear boards have with being confusing on seeing what is what and where its running. plus its sparkfun red what more do can you ask for! I have 2 clear ones already I think im going to have to pick up a couple of these too.

  • You should note to users that, while it will accept 20 AWG it is not recommended. Using 20 AWG will stretch out the metal retainer clips and basically ruin the breadboard. That is what happened to mine.

  • Awesome!!

Ok, not exactly low-cost. But it isn’t just a display with touch screen, it’s more with programmable processor, uSD card adapter, audio, GPIO…
 I don’t know. It’s hardly a bargain, but I guess there is also worse deals out there.

I have to agree as well. However, it really isn’t Sparkfun’s fault on the price. If you go to 4D Systems the price would probably be the same or higher. If 4D systems really want to sell displays at a price like this the It needs to be able to do a lot of stuff such as displaying webpages in HTML for example. I really don’t see the point in 4D Systems selling a low resolution screen for this price especially when the display is slooooooooooooooooow. I have the uOLED-32024-P1 and I’m sending commands at 115200 with a picmicro which allowed me to get the display to speed up reponse in displaying circles, text and rectangles.

I think I have to side with frank26080115 here. $175 isn’t exactly what I’d call “low-cost”. For another 4 bucks one could buy an iPod Touch for example.

why do you guys insist on stocking super expensive products like this? that serial command set doesn’t seem like such a huge advantage, and it’ll be slooooow
 please stock some decent LCDs

Top Comments of the Week (08/28)

Check out our favorite witty commenters below:

1. From: Banned Around the World

GameelaNever in a million years are those CURVY mannequins – they’re sticks! I was frantically typing ‘mini skirts”, ‘short skirts’, ‘skirts’, ‘sleeveless tops’, ‘western clothing’, etc etc…

2. From: Top 10 Richest US Presidents

InsertCleverNameI’m sensing a theme here. Apparently one should work hard, study, and be related to rich, dead people.

3. From: Quickly Click a ‘Quick’

PappaTWhat’s interesting is that by about the halfway point, the letters stop looking like letters. It’s trippy. Am I alone in this?

4. From: Sporcle’s Easiest Religion

Brit Lit Bunker: The Sporcle Featured Quiz of the Week

We think all our featured quizzes are great, but once a week we find a quiz published within the last 7 days that went the extra mile.

This week’s quiz is Brit Lit Bunker by Sporcle User NJSB.

What’s the Quiz About?

From Austen to Shapkespeare, jog your memory from high school English classes with this British Literature bunker. The first question may be easy, but the difficulty will increase with each one, and a single wrong answer will end the quiz. Have no fear about it being too torturous; it’s multiple-choice, so at the very least, you can test your luck! And in case you had to ask –  yes, Harry Potter is included.

Capital of Palau Updated on Sporcle

After many years of requests, and research, we’ve finally updated the capital of Palau on Sporcle. For many years, we displayed/accepted the region of Melekeok as the nation’s capital, but as of today, we’ve officially switched the answer to Ngerulmud. However, we’ll continue to accept Melekeok for the time being as everyone gets used to the change.

If you have any questions/comments, let us know on our feedback page.

Meet the Staff: Traci Fortier

traciName: Traci Fortier (Traci)

Position: Finance Manager

Originally from: New Hampshire

Worked at Sporcle since: May 2012

About: Traci describes her life like this: I’m 28, I live with my boyfriend and my dog, and I love my small little family. She’s an animal person, with a special love for dogs. Outside of work she’s goofy and sarcastic, but at work she’s the picture of professionalism.

Interests: Traci likes to sit and watch TV for hours on end…or go for a hike. She likes a mix of the indoor and outdoor, and made it her goal this year to do more hiking. She also likes playing board games with friends.

Her favorite Sporcle quizzes are in the genre of Clickable 1-100 Mines and the Spacebar Challenge. Also, she’s a huge Walking Dead fan. (Our insider investigation found out that she’s played ‘The Walking Dead’ Episodes quiz 6 times, with a 100% score.)

Strange Fact: After college Traci traveled to Guatemala where she lived and volunteered in an animal shelter for a month. In her words, she is “weirdly obsessed with weird dogs.” She volunteers at a Seattle animal shelter, and her favorite dogs are the neurotic, nervous dogs.

Here at Sporcle: Traci spends her time in numerous spreadsheets, handling financial reports and administrative tasks. As she puts it “a lot of things come through me.”

Favorite thing about working at Sporcle: Traci likes that everyone works really hard, while maintaining their sense of humor. She adds “I laugh at something at least once a day.” Beyond the mix of hard work and fun, she loves getting to wear jeans to work everyday.

Top Comments of the Week (08/21)

Check out our favorite witty commenters below:

1. From: Equator Countries

UbbiebubbieSo, Equatorial Guinea… you’ve been lying to me this whole time.

2. From: Rhymes with ‘SEEK’

strags11Where I come from, ‘steak’ rhymes with ‘seek’. Well, OK, no, it doesn’t, but this is a rhyming quiz so I feel kind of obligated to make a comment like this. I think it’s in Sporcle’s terms of service.

3. From: ’90s Song Title Match Up

dlauthorSo I guess “Smells Like My Pocket” was more of a regional hit, then.

4. From: MLB Teams (Redux)

El_DandyOne day you’ll be back, Expos. One day…

hbakerOh, hello timer. Didn’t see you there.

Least Populous Countries A-Z: Europe: The Sporcle Featured Quiz of the Week

We think all our featured quizzes are great, but once a week we find a quiz published within the last 7 days that went the extra mile.

This week’s quiz is Least Populous Countries A-Z: Europe by Sporcle User Mateo56.

What’s the Quiz About?

Here on Sporcle, we usually focus on the most populous countries, but this quiz does just the opposite. You’ll have to remember all those tiny countries in Europe to get everything right. It’s a minefield, so enter the answers you’re sure about before making guesses. There are a few letters that are the start of only one European country, so if you can remember the only ‘V’ country, you’ll be safe. Just remember to breathe as you type in the last few letters for each country.

Absolute Garbage!
This has got to be, hands down, one of the worst things I have ever witnessed!! I only watched for about 20 min and most of that was on fast forward. This film quality is crap, the male actors look like old dock workers and the scenes keep repeating the same action you saw 2 minutes prior. The ONLY reason this is getting a 1 star is because there is nothing lower to rate it on. I'm pissed for having rented this crap.

Suit against public defenders could have broad impact

A class-action suit filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union and scheduled to be argued next week has become a test of a national strategy by civil liberties groups to challenge what they say are failed public defender programs in many states. Because an estimated 80 percent of felony defendants in large states are too poor to hire their own lawyers, and because the case is being watched around the nation, many believe it has the potential to alter the shape of the criminal justice system. The group's primary claim is that indigent clients have been failed by their appointed lawyers and case-by-case reviews of those failures have proved inadequate. In recent years, similar cases have been heard in Connecticut, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana and Washington. The Michigan Supreme Court is to consider a challenge to its public defender program next month.

Court: TCCA

J. Daniel Freemon, Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, for the appellant, Joann Brewer.

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Matthew Bryant Haskell, Assistant Attorney General; Mike Bottoms, District Attorney General; and Doug Dicus, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

The Defendant, Joann Brewer, was charged with and convicted of three counts of selling greater than .5 grams of methamphetamine, a Class B felony. See Tenn. Code Ann. section 39-17- 417(c)(1). She was sentenced as a Range I, standard offender to twelve years for each conviction and ordered to serve one of her twelve year sentences consecutively to the other two, which were to be served concurrently with each other, for a total effective sentence of twenty-four years in the Department of Correction. In this direct appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred: (1) in overruling her motion for a mistrial after the State made certain remarks during its closing argument; (2) in admitting a booking sheet not properly authenticated as a business record; and (3) in setting the length of her sentence and ordering her to serve consecutive sentences. After our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Court: TCCA

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Benjamin A. Ball, Assistant Attorney General; Kim R. Helper, District Attorney General; and Michael J. Fahey, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellant, State of Tennessee.

William C. Barnes, Jr., Columbia, Tennessee, for the appellee, Joseph L. Chadwick.

Judge: GLENN

The defendant, Joseph L. Chadwick, a correctional employee with the Hickman County Sheriff's Department, was charged with having sexual contact with an inmate. Thereafter, the defendant filed a motion to suppress his statement to Detective Scott Smith in which he admitted being inappropriately involved with an inmate. The trial court granted the defendant's motion and because the suppression of the defendant's statement left the State with insufficient evidence to proceed to trial, the trial court dismissed the indictment. The State appeals the trial court's grant of the defendant's motion to suppress. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Court: TCCA

Nathan Moore, Nashville, Tennessee, for the Defendant-Appellant, Michael Collins Reed.

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Matthew Bryant Haskell, Assistant Attorney General; Victor S. Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and Brian Ewald, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

The Defendant-Appellant, Michael Collins Reed, appeals his sentence following the revocation of his probation. He originally pled guilty to attempted aggravated robbery, a Class C felony, and was sentenced as a multiple offender to eight years of confinement in the Tennessee Department of Correction. This sentence was suspended to ten years of supervised probation. Because this was Reed's third probation violation, the trial court placed his eight-year sentence for attempted aggravated robbery into effect. On appeal, Reed concedes the probation violation, but argues the trial court should have reinstated his probation or imposed a rehabilitative sentence that addressed his drug addiction. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

No new juvenile judge for Shelby County
The state Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal of a decision not to appoint a second judge in Shelby County Juvenile Court, meaning there will be no new judge unless the legislature acts. The county commission voted in 2006 to add another judge and a local chancellor ruled the commission could create the new position. Last fall, the Court of Appeals reversed the decision. That ruling now stands.

The state made news last year when a justice received more than $3 million in contributions from a coal-mining executive and did not recuse himself from a case involving the donor.

Med mal law has mixed results
Changes in Tennessee's medical malpractice laws has produced a dramatic drop in the number of lawsuits filed according to data released by the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts. Anecdotal reports by doctors, however, indicate little relief in malpractice insurance premiums. Under legislation passed in 2008, patients must give a 60-day notice before filing a malpractice lawsuit and get documentation that the claim has merit. Data shows a 59 percent drop in suits since the law went into effect. By contrast, physicians report they have not seen a dramatic decrease in insurance premiums; but have not had dramatic increases either.

Restaurants Experiment With Selling Tickets For Dinner

from the entrepreneurial-restaurateurs dept

It is notoriously difficult to be successful in the restaurant business (though the popular adage that "9 out of 10 restaurants fail within the first year" may actually be false). That said, a restaurant is a business like any other, so experimentation with new business models is important, especially in tough economic times like we have been facing in recent years. Traditionally, restaurant reservations can be canceled at the whim of the diner without penalty, but for an industry, whose margins are continually squeezed, canceled reservations could make the difference between a profitable night and an unprofitable one. Restaurants sell a limited amount of daily perishable goods and services, which draws many parallels to both the theater and airline businesses. So, perhaps restaurateurs took note of these similarities for themselves when they started selling "tickets" for their nightly dinners instead of taking reservations. In addition to tickets to individual dinners, the restaurants also offer subscriptions to a whole season of dinners -- another tactic lifted right out of the playbook of theaters. These restaurateurs correctly recognize that dining out is not just about the food; it is a social experience just like a concert, the movies, or a sporting event.

The benefit for the restaurant is that even if the diner doesn't show up for the meal, the restaurant isn't stuck holding the bag -- the responsibility to offload an unwanted dinner ticket then shifts to the diner rather than the business. Furthermore with a guarantee of revenue for the evening, shopping for expensive perishables in preparation for an evening's dinner service is much easier. That said, pre-paying for a night's meal is a complete departure from the regular dining out experience, so at first, I can really only see this tactic working for a set of exclusive restaurants. After all, online reservation marketplace TableXchange folded last year, citing empty tables at even the most popular dining hotspots.

    Ok if a establishment is selling me dinner tickets it better do the following:

    1) Make sure my table is available
    2) Make sure my meal is ready in a reasonable time (20-30min tops)
    3) Stop slugging me with hidden extras like surcharges, corkage, cakeage etc.

    I'm tired of making reservations only to turn up then still have to wait half an hour just to get seated, then another hour+ for my food.

    You've got your reservation, you know exactly how many people you will be catering for at minimum - staff accordingly. Don't give my 7:30 table away to a couple who got there at 6:30 and you hoped would be gone before I got here. If your menu only has 3 mains on it, make sure you have all the ingredients! (yes one place was that bad) If when I make the reservation for a 7pm table and tell you I want meals x&y ready for 7pm as we have an 8pm show to attend - have them ready.

    the full price of the meal is included (unless you order wine), which makes the ticket idea ok in my book. But I probably would not frequent the place because I like not knowing what I'm going to eat until I sit down and look at the menu.

    from the faq i linked above:

    Yes. Instead of reservations our bookings will be made more like a theater or a sporting event. Your tickets will be fully inclusive of all charges, including service. Ticket price will depend on which seating you buy – Saturday at 8 PM will be more expensive than Wednesday at 9:30 PM. This will allow us to offer an amazing experience at a very reasonable price.

    How much?
    A meal at Next will represent a great value. Depending on the menu AND what day and time you are dining, food will be $40 to $75 for the entire prix fixe menu. Wine and beverage pairings will begin at a $25 supplement. Next’s goal is to serve 4-star food at 3-star prices.

    It's a deal for me if everything is included in a prepaid price, including tax and tip, and like Blake said, don't keep me waiting if I've paid in advance for a table at 7:30.

    However, the upscale dining in my family has been cut back to a bare minimum, and I don't know if it will ever come back. You know what I really want someone to invent? A f--ing time machine so I can go back to 1998 and stay there, before the dot-com bust and 9/11, when I ate wherever I wanted and never even looked at the bill.

    I haven't eaten out more than once a month in 4 or 5 years. It's not worth it. The wait is annoying, the food is mediocre, it's not served timely, it costs too much, there is too much food, and all of these annoyances are things I can solve at home by fixing my own food. Also eating out takes hours and hours out of my day.

    exactly, if I have prepaid for everything I want at a 730pm time, after I sit down, AT 730 pm, you had better be bringing my food right then, not waiting 30 minutes to make it, or trying to up-sell me on things I didn't ask for

    Transition from buying into a brand to buying food..? Probably not a local idea.

    Interesting idea. However most restaurants that are a part of a chain that has more than 5 locations usually sources from the same few companies. Sysco and United Natural Foods are two that come to mind.

    If the same concept was applied to smaller companies, which the cooking staff is provided the levity to change things around to accommodate locally available foodstuffs, it may be worthwhile.

    Get what you pay for

    People complaining about eating out need to consider where they are going. My wife and I, before we were married and started having kids, enjoyed a new restaurant every Friday night. We'd go out and enjoy ourselves. We made it a point to try new places, avoiding going back to the same old places all the time. It helps that we have variety here in Montreal. If you aren't living in a city, your choices will be much more limited.

    If you want exceptional service with excellent food and a server that will make your experience enjoyable, don't expect to shell out a mere $10-20 a person.

    I think this is an interesting premise, and you explain succinctly the advantages to the restaurant. But what does this offer the diner? Why, besides fleeting novelty, would I buy tickets for a meal? It doesn't do me any good at all.

    It sort of strikes me as the newspaper paywall for restaurants. If someone implements this ticket plan, doesn't that just give a competitor a chance to position themselves as "Make reservations, and it's okay if you cancel! The customer comes first!"

    I'm definitely for restaurants experimenting with new business models. But I think something that is to the customer's disadvantage isn't going to work for very long.

    A ticket - no thanks - an honored reservation would be good though

    I certainly understand the problem with reservations that are too easy to cancel, especially at a popular restaurant. I would be willing to pay a fee for a reservation that would come off of the bill. Life changes, so there would need to be some kind of cut-off period for cancelling (like you need to cancel 2 days ahead to get it all back and you get half if you cancel 1 day ahead. None back if you cancel the day of the reservation. Now this means (to me at least) that I should be seated within 15 minutes of showing up. I mean, I have a prepaid reservation right? This should guarantee me a table when I show up. It has really bugged me in the past when I make a reservation, get there 15 minutes early, and still have to wait until 45 minutes after my reservation time to be seated. What good was the reservation.

    On the other hand, I have made a reservation while driving to a restaurant, shown up, and been seated before the 20 other people sitting in the lobby. I like that restaurant.

    One other thought is that once seated, some people spend the rest of the night at that table. Instead of a reservation for just a time, how about being able to reserve a table for an hour or two hours. It means that the food order has to be placed quickly and the kitchen has to get the food out in a reasonable amount of time after the order is placed though. As with anything simple, there are so many complicating factors.

    I will not pay for "tickets" to dinner. Pre-paying for anything completely removes ANY incentive to provide good service or good products.

    What incentive do they have to seat me for the time I made the reservation for? I've prepaid which means that they can now overbook the restaurant and make me wait 45+ minutes for a table because they don't lose anything if I walk away.

    Reservations work at good restaurants because they know that I'll leave after half an hour of waiting to be seated for a reservation. They'll lose my business and they'll have to deal with an empty table.

    Why provide good service? If they treat me like crap I can't cancel the tip.

    The reason I think the idea would work is this - if an upscale restaurant f--ks up your dining experience after you've prepaid for everything, including the gratuity, then you won't come back again.

    Anonymous Coward, May 13th, 2010 @ 1:06pm

    On the flip side I rarely make my own meals. While eating out can be more expensive, I'm not particularly interested in cooking, most people can do it far better than I, and it gives me an opportunity to have a variety of food that I would never bother with otherwise.

    I guess I'm the very odd person that rarely has issues with service. I notice my friends also like to complain about table service in the city I'm from, and I just don't understand it. Whether I wait 5-20 minutes, I can usually handle it with another activity.

    I *have* cut out many needless purchases such as coffee and smoothies. It was a habit, and a waste of one. But otherwise eating in restaurants/takeout is far more preferable.

    It might work if at least one these conditions exists

    1. The restaurant routinely is full and this is one of the few ways to get a reservation.
    2. You get a better financial deal. If buying a ticket results in a good meal for less money, it should appeal to some people.
    3. You get better service.
    4. You can transfer the ticket or reschedule. There's a big risk in buying in advance if your plans might suddenly change. Airlines sell non transferable tickets all the time, but they are so heavily discounted that people take the risk.
    5. There's some sort of frequent buyer reward built in.

Northern Ireland's hoteliers and restaurateurs are hoping that the peace deal will be ratified when the Irish public cast their votes on22 May.

They believe that the North would see a return to the figures enjoyed during the first ceasefire, when business increased by 56% and visitor numbers from south of the border jumped by 155%.

It is estimated that 20,000 new jobs would need to be filled in the North's tourism trade if peace were cemented.

Jim McDaid, the South's tourism minister, has just launched a IR£1m marketing campaign for his native Donegal which although it is in the Republic is immediatelyadjacent to Northern Ireland and geographically part of Ulster.

A joint marketing campaign for the entire northern coast of Ireland could be launched quite quickly, industry insiders said, and would be part of the plans for co-operation between North and South.

A new parades commission has also been set up to oversee the summer marching season where the spin-off tension has been causing nervous tourists to stay away.

Raw Halloween Party At Alive Veggie in San Francisco!

Since the Talk It Up section is broken, I post this here.

If you are in the SF Bay Area and are looking for something raw to do for Halloween, here it is! – info below.

I am mostly likely going to this – look for an extremely short Chewbacca – that will be me! :)

Alive! Restaurant invites you to our Halloween Costume Party October 30th, Thursday, from 7:00 pm until 10:00 pm.

This is a perfect chance to sample many of our raw and organic dishes, as well as some of our finest vegan wines. Enjoy a smorgasbord of ‘all you can eat’ raw vegan food. A gift certificate for a free dinner for 2 will be awarded to the person who dresses up in the best costume! As an added bonus, there will also be a live Argentina-Brazilian band, Mucho Axe, playing outside in our heated garden area.

If you prefer to pay online, tickets are available on the website at www.aliveveggie.com $16 for each adult and $12 for children 9 and under

You can also buy tickets at the door for $20

Please pass this along to friends or family who may be interested in joining us

Alive! 1972 Lombard Street San Francisco, CA, 94123 415-923-1052
