Citi Field Suggestions Please....
- coco99 Jul 28, 2010 07:15 AM
So I'm headed to the stadium tonight and I'm not sure where to start my eating tour. I know Danny Myer has a Shake Shack but I wasn't wowed by the burger I had at their Madison Square Park location (I know, I know I have to try it again). Plus I'd like to try some new items anyway, we eat everything so let 'er rip.
Citi Field
Roosevelt Ave and 126th St, Queens, NY 11368
Shake Shack
Roosevelt Ave 126th St, Queens, NY 11368
The lines at the Citi Field Shake Shack are absurd. If you don't get to the game early and go directly, you're pretty much guaranteed to miss a couple of innings there.
I find myself getting the pulled pork sandwich at Blue Smoke most frequently. Also really like the corn on the cob from El Verano Taqueria.

I enjoy the ribs at the Blue Smoke quite a bit and the line is always much quicker than shake shack
to do Shake Shack, you need to get to the stadium 90 min or so before the game, so you dont brave any line that would make you miss the game.
I enjoyed the lobster roll that they sell at the seafood stand in right field (Catch of the Day). Also, the fries at the Danny Meyer run Box Frites are excellent.
El Verano Taqueria was good. I wasnt blown away, but it is good. Have not had the corn though, will have to try based on the above suggestion.

re: metfan630
Well there's no way we're getting there 90 minutes early so...I think I may be able to fit two meals in- lobster roll and pulled pork if I time it right...Thanks for the suggestions!
I don't agree with the suggestion for the Blue Smoke pulled pork sandwich. To me, it was tasteless and was more like shredded pork with a weak sauce, not actual barbequed pork butt. I've also sampled Shake Shack and thought it was decent for the price, but definitely not worth waiting on a long line. You might be better off with something from the Mama's concession or bringing in you own food.

coco, where are you sitting? if you're in the delta360 section, then you can have shack burgers, blue smoke and tacos delivered to your seats.
if you have access to the acela club, i'd suggest going, so long as you can get to the game early. $35-$40 per person gets you all you can eat of some very very good food. it's run by drew nierport of tribeca grill, etc. way above your standard food selection.
if you don't have access to either, don't bother waiting on the shake shack line, you'll miss an inning or two, at the least. either get the combo taco platter + corn at el verano, the bologna sandwich at blue smoke, or the fried fish sandwich at catch of the day. i wasn't a fan of the lobster roll, too small and not good. also not a fan of the shrimp po boy. you could also just do the tried and true mama's of corona sandwich. the turkey with gravy and mozz is phenomenal. haven't tried the korean fried chicken, but when i looked at them they looked greasy and cold.
if all else fails, you can't go wrong with a premio sausage with onions and peppers.
have fun and let's go mets.
re: jon
Hey Jon-
Thanks for the detailed post! The tix are through a business contact of my husband's so we actually don't know where we'll be sitting 'til we get there- And since we're all coming from work, in Manhattan not sure how early we'll be able to get there. But Mama's sounds promising as does the combo taco platter at blue smoke- Yeah!! Can't wait
re: Bob Martinez
The pulled pork sandwich is good, but gets boring halfway through. Go for the Mama's Italian sandwich and some fries from box frites.
I recommend the lobster roll or crab cake sandwich. As for the tacos, you could get better tacos lots of other places, so I would skip them. Like others have mentioned, the Shake Shack line is ridic, and you will miss a good chunk of the game trying to get a burger. Have fun!

re: killatofu
Just thought I would follow up- First of all the game was great- even though we lost in extra innings. We did indeed have the pulled pork and still missed an inning and a half waiting on line but we had to eat so...I thought the sandwich was good, great bun. Not enough sauce in the middle of the sandwich, a bit on the salty side, and I like salt...We also had the fries at Blue Smoke which I enjoyed. But I really wanted to try their salty jalapeno chocolate bar. Anyone ever get it? It sounds kind of great. Maybe next time....
re: FrankieLymon
This is the answer these guys need!! Not just great CHINESE but great mexican,greatest thai,great famous burgers+with astonishing GUINNESS,even a great FRENCH crepe place on the way... if there is enough salivating readers will provide locations. I suppose it depends if people need to park at CITI or have some time to ramble by auto or subway prior to the game.
re: micheal
french crepes? do tell...
i know its a bit late on topic but the blue smoke has a killer smoked bbq bologna sandwich that i recommend highly. i used to get the pulled pork but the 1/2 inch thick slab of country bologna with the bbq grilled is soooo good, give it a try!
I'm going to a game this coming week and I have a few questions...
What's the big deal about Shake Shack? Do they have the best burgers and shakes in the area, like Edzo's in Evanston? Or is it just all hype thanks to its association with a big name chef?
Are there any worthwhile specialties not already mentioned here? I see additional options on the Mets website at http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/ballp...
What about around the neighborhood? micheal says that there's some great stuff nearby, but doesn't mention specifics. I'll be getting there on the 7 train so I'd be interested in options within a short walk of the Willets Point station. Or am I just better off with what's available inside the ballpark?
re: nsxtasy
Shake Shack is a upscale version of a fast food burger. Their most famous burger is the Shack Burger: thin patty, special sauce, buttered potato bun, lettuce tomato. I really like the special sauce (it's kind of in line with an aioli/mayo sauce)
The patty itself is pretty heavy on the fat content and well seasoned. It's cooked in the "smash" technique" that usually causes a crust on the patty's edges when executed correctly. I love them but I prefer a thin style patty overall (think In'n'Out in California as a reference). They're usually cooked medium. I wouldn't send you there if you want tons of beefy flavor and/or a super rare burger and/or a nice thick juicy bistro style burger as big as your head. I think the main criticisms are that it's not "beefy" or "juicy" enough or "too salty" (I happen to like saltier food) or or people don't like the sauce. Or it wasn't "worth" standing in line for.
They're good, I don't know if they're worth standing in line for during a baseball game and missing 1 1/2 innings, but that's your call to make (I make an exception for a nice day out in the park with friends at the Madison Square Park one and don't mind the 30-45 min line).
I think the under-the-radar choice is El Verano Taqueria which is run by Floyd Cardoz (Tabla (RIP), Lespinasse). I haven't had the pleasure but friends have given it good reviews, particularly in light of the long lines at the other options.
There is really good Chinese food one stop further on the 7 train to Flushing Main Street, the Queens Chinatown. Other friends like to hit up Sripraphai or Korean fried chicken joint UFC on the way to or from the game dependent upon scheduling.
If you plan it right, it should be fairly easy to dine at a Chinese restaurant before the game, and/or bring some items to the park.
If you choose to dine in, there's a lot of regional Chinese in Flushing you probably won't find elsewhere: Shangdong/Qingdao, Henan, Dongbei, and Wenzhou. And Xian Famous Foods which is an regional Chinese restaurant slowly turning into an empire across Queens and Manhattan -- and the food is good, too! This is in addition to the more common (I suppose?) Taiwanese, Hunan, Cantonese, Shanghaiese, Sichuan, etc.
scoopG's got a nice link to dedicated threads here for some of the new regional Chinese restaurants:
I don't think there's really anything immediately within walking distance of Citi Field though. Happy to be proven wrong!
Here a Flushing walking tour (feel free to hit only a subsection):
1. Best North Dumpling (41-42 Main Street - NOTE NEW ADDRESS) - boiled "aquatic food" or pork/fennel dumplings. A bit of a thicker skin as these are of a northern style. They have some seating.
2. Corner 28 duck bun window (40-28 Main St sidewalk window) - duck buns in a mantao, skip the cheung fun, they're gooey. Duck buns come in a takeout container, but I usually eat them on the street.
3. White Bear (135-02 Roosevelt Ave #5) - wontons with spicy sauce on top. Not sichuan style (wontons in hot oil) spicy, but still quite good. They have a little seating but not much.
4. Zhu Ji Guo Tie (40-52 Main Street is the technical address, but the actual window is on 41st Avenue across from the Starbucks) - fried dumplings (guo tie). I scarf these down on the sidewalk.
5. Xian Famous Foods in the maze-like Golden Mall (41-28 Main Street, stall #36, basement level) - hand pulled noodles with cumin lamb, cumin lamb burger, liang pi (cold skin noodle "salad"). This one is skippable if you plan to go into Manhattan at some point as they have two Manhattan Chinatown locations and one East Village location now. But the lamb burger to go might be good. You'll know it when you see the giant photos on the walls and pictures of Anthony Bourdain. Super-friendly staff. Some seating but it's often full.
6. Chengdu Heaven in the Golden Mall (41-28 Main Street, stall #31, basement level) - dan dan noodles or whatever else looks good. Maybe mapo tofu? Some seating but it's often full.
7. Wang-Zheng's Halal Snacks (41-28 Main Street, #C6, ground floor, towards the back in an open eating area) - chive box/pancake stuffed with chopped up noodles and fried cruller, note no English menu, so gesticulating may be required.
8. Old Wang Ji (41-28 Main Street, #C5, ground floor, same open eating area, with a counter) - Fujian style fish ball soup with pork stuffed into the center of the fish ball. No English menu, so gesticulating may be required.
9. Temple Snacks in the Flushing Mall (133-31 39th Ave, food court is on bottom floor, located on the way left hand side) - Taiwanese (pork) burger aka gua bao. This Western style mall has announced its closure in the near future, hopefully Temple Snacks will find a new home in a different food court.
10. Sun Mary Bakery (13357 41st Road). They specialize in pineapple cake which is more like a Chinese fig newton but have a huge variety of products: cakes, cookies, biscuit like things, cream puffs, hilariously decorated cakes.
11. The Xin Jiang BBQ Master at 41st Ave. & Kissena Blvd. Skewered meats on a stick.
I've done this tour, too, by cutting a few spots and either starting at Guang Zhou restaurant for dim sum or ending with Nan Xiang for xiao long bao.
Serious Eats also has maps of the Golden Shopping Mall but some of the stalls have changed, since. Golden Vietnam Bakery is now a baos/buns/scallion pancake/fried dumpling type of place. The bubble tea place is gone now. BTW, I'd skip Shandong Dumpling as the last batch we got was a bit burnt.
Basement map
First floor map
These stalls change hands so quickly that any map is likely to go out of date in 6 months but at least you'll get the general layout OK.
BTW, you can get from Manhattan to Flushing in 20 minutes using the LIRR if you're worried about time. And it's only $3.75 on weekends under the CityTicket program.

re: kathryn
That's a lot of great information - thanks so much!
re: nsxtasy
btw, I used to eat at Little Pepper before Mets games. It was a 12 minute walk. But they moved and are now too far away. My current choice for eating before a game would be the Golden Mall (there have been plenty of posts about it besides this thread) but it's several blocks further away and is a 20 minute walk.
Based on the Mets play of the last few days, I'd make sure I had a great dinner. It will certainly be the highlight of the evening.
Well, I went to Citi Field. I was still somewhat full from lunch, so I didn't get much to eat. But what I got… was dreck.
I went to Shake Shack. I guess my hopes had gotten a little higher when, earlier in the day, I walked by a Shake Shack in Midtown and the shake menu sounded really creative (they even had a shake for dogs!). Well, not at Citi Field. The menu was not very exciting. So… I decided to get a vanilla shake. How badly could they screw that up? Pretty badly – it was like a McDonald's shake. Just awful. Edzo's, this place is not. (Edzo's has the best milk shakes ANYWHERE, the kind where they use real ice cream and they make it in an old-fashioned shake maker and give you the leftover in a metal cup.) I didn't try the burgers, but based on the shake, I just don't get why anyone would wait in those looooong lines at this place. < shakes head >
I also went to El Verano Taqueria and tried the chicken mole pipian tacos. That was another loser, with absolutely no pipian mole and just some shriveled pieces of chicken. I should have known better; there are some types of food that New York does better than Chicago, and others that Chicago does better than New York, and I had already been told that Mexican was one of the latter. I guess would have been better off trying one of the hot pastrami sandwiches at Citi Field. They can't screw that up… can they?
On a humorous note, I thought the Dunkin' Donuts booths were funny – the first ones I've ever seen that didn't have donuts for sale!
Anyway, thanks for the advice, which is appreciated nonetheless!
re: nsxtasy
@nsxtasy, I have to laugh. You are the GREATEST guide to Chi-bound hounds. I live in NY and the food here is generally too expensive and drecky. Chi is a great eating city, even for a vegetarian like me. I am sorry for your experience but eating in NY in general is nowhere near as diverse or satisfying, and at a good price, as it is in Chi.
Heading out to Chi first weekend in June. Can't wait. Always look forward to finding great veg stuff.
Happy trails!
re: mrsdebdav
In all fairness, I had some great meals on this trip, including several in New Jersey (about which I reported in that forum) and one of my top all-time meals, lunch at Per Se. I realize that food at the ballpark isn't going to be as good as elsewhere, and it's going to be more expensive, but just within the context of ballpark food, I wasn't impressed. (And the food at the two Chicago ballparks isn't all that great as ballpark food goes, either!)
re: nsxtasy
Stop, just stop! El Verano Taqueria is a ballpark taco window, not representative of New York mexican food. Any number of restaurants or trucks on Roosevelt Ave., under the 7 train on your way out there, would have served to compare to anything, outside Puebla.
I doubt that I'd go to Wrigley to find a sample of Chicago's best Mexican. Stop.
Having said that, El Verano Taqueria is pretty good for stadium food.
Also, I had their black and white shake the other night, and it was very good, too. That was at 6 cuz I got there early, which may make a difference.
re: Paulomet
we also found the food at Shake shack to be subpar when we went also--lousy shake, and limp not very tasty hamburger according to my kid...we also tried the taco's, again, not good or fresh--best bet was the fresh mozzarell sandwich from Mama's. for us--go to Tortilla Nixtamal, or the empanada cafe and bring food in for 1/2 the price--when and if Timmy's frozen custard reopens--in Corona, their vanilla milkshake was heads and shoulders above any frozen custard I ever had from Shake Shack.

re: nsxtasy
let's take it easy. you were eating ballpark food, nothing fancy. is the food at citi great? no, but it's better than you would get at most ballparks. the shack burger is a close approximation of the one in madison square park, the tacos are fine, the box frites are actually pretty tasty (with the bacon aioli), mama's turkey and mozzarella hero is phenomenal, and the fried fish sandwich at the daily catch is also very good. if you had had the time, the acela club happens to have an excellent spread as well.
give me a break if you think food at a ballpark is going to compare with food outside a ballpark. that said, be thankful that you weren't subjected to the culinary delights at shea stadium.
Don't know if this should be classified as a downhill alert, but the tacos at El Verano Taqueria were pretty horrendous. I've actually enjoyed them in the past (in spite of some posters saying it isn't "real" Mexican food), but the meats were dry and flavorless. The beef was incredibly chewy where I wanted to spit out because I couldn't get it down.
re: Miss Needle
Update for 2012 -- the tacos are still not very good. They changed the size in that they're serving mini-tacos. Plus is you get to try more variety. Minus is that you don't get as much value. The shells were also pretty dried out and floppy.
Blue Smoke's ribs are smaller than last year. And they're not giving wet naps anymore with them. Instead of raising prices they're cutting back on product.
To start off, I grew up in Queens so, technically, I have to be a Mets fan. No, I'm not proud of that. That out of the way..
What I've had there so far:
My favorite is the Korean style taco/wraps found in the World's Fare section. It's your typical Korean style beef with some onions on a rice bun style taco/wrap. It was made well, and what made it favorite is the fact that trouble was taken to go with a rice bun, which added a lot, instead of a ho-hum invisible vehicle for the beef.
Right next to the taco/wraps are Korean style wings. Good, if you like the style/batter. Came with, I think, 4 options for sauce, all of them typical/common.
Catch of the Day's Shrimp Po'Boy smacked me with its mustard and peppercorn flavors. They were of the sinus-clearing strength. The shrimp were of the large variety and nicely cooked. The bun... sigh. Anyway, the flavors were a bit too much for me, but it's also easy to like.
Their lobster roll is good stuff, lobster wise, but I'm not so sure it's worth the $20 when, if you tried, you can fit the whole thing in your mouth. Good portioned, flavorful lobster with a light sauce on a roll, which... sigh.
The tacos at verano, filling wise, I like, as well as the accompanying salsas; all had good, fresh flavors. The soft tortilla... sigh.
Blue smoke's pulled pork was probably my second favorite item. It's pulled pork - Not many ways it can go wrong, as long as it's the genuine deal. Served on a sturdy brioche, which was nice, but at the same time... sigh.
And, of course, Shake Shack. To me, it's the best of the burger chains. Sadly, no portabella option here. Great beef blend on a toasted potato bun. Good. Fries... Not so good, and aggressive with the salt. It didn't have much of a crisp and the salt just overwhelmed the potato flavor.
One thing I haven't tried yet is the burger from Keith's Grill. It's sort of my #1 goal the next time I find myself there.

re: ediblover
I don't eat in the ballpark because the best Chinese food in United States east of California is about a 10 minute walk away
re: AubWah
Why not do both?
re: AubWah
Aww, come on. One of life's greatest pleasures is to eat some good food while watching baseball. My perfect day would be a day game where I eat at the stadium then have dinner in Flushing afterward!
re: Miss Needle
Here, here! You just gave me a plan for the next Mets home stay.
re: Miss Needle
I usually bring food into the stadium
re: AubWah
hmmmm you guys are scaring me now… I am going to a game on Sunday and was looking forward to a Chicago dog from shake shack. Husband and I had one this time last year and it was actually pretty good. Sorry to hear some of the quality of the food is going down.
re: Asumnuthin
i dont think the food at citi is that bad, but its definitely stadium food. the fries at box fries are solid, and shake shack is shake shach (except without the very very good veggie option available at all other locations, whats with that?)
my big issue with eating at the ball park is that the thing i want the most (shake shack) im usually too annoyed to wait for, the lines are totally outrageous unless its over an hour before first pitch. for that time investiture i may as well get something to go from a place in flushing and bring it in with me.
re: tex.s.toast
The only time I eat at citi is bringing in Chinese

The eastern boundary of the Park follows the crest of
this range of mountains. The mountains are made up of layers of volcanic
material,breccia, ash and lava beds. These layers have been
deeply eroded by running water and glaciers.
Sept. 1, 1877
General O. O. Howard was in command of U. S. soldiers
who pursued the Nez Perce Indians on their flight through Yellowstone as
they attempted to escape from their reservation in Idaho to Canada.
The ford by which the Indians crossed the river is
about a half mile east of this point. After camping a couple of days,
Howard took his command down the left bank of the River, around Mt.
Washburn and then crossed the Yellowstone near the mouth of Lamar River
at Baronett's Bridge.
We return to our cars and drive on for a short
distance and view a remarkable mud cone and several large pools of
sulphur-bearing mud. A trail leads down to them for closer inspection.
In the river beyond are numerous gas seeps and one spectacular hot
spring in the river channel. We continue and at
This wide expanse of sage brush flats, and meadow
lands was named for Dr. Ferdinand V. Hayden, leader of the first
government expedition for the scientific exploration of the Yellowstone
region in 1871. He returned in 1872 and again in 1878. His
recommendations for the extent of the National Park were accepted by
Congress. The valley is an old lake bed and deposits of stratified clay
and sand may be seen at many places in it. Elk and moose are often seen
in this area.
Crossing ALUM CREEK
This creek which flows into Yellowstone River from
the west actually has some alum in the water near its source. Most of
the water in Yellowstone Park is soft water and suitable for domestic
use. The water at Mammoth Hot Springs and in the Gallatin Mountains
contains lime and is known as hard water. The water of Yellowstone Lake
and Yellowstone River is remarkably free from minerals and pure in
spite of the fact that there are many hot springs and gas vents near
Half a mile west of the road Captain W. F. Spurgin,
21st Infantry, let the wagon trains of General Howard down the steep
side of the mountain. This was done by rough-locking the wheels and with
ropes wrapped around trees, the wagons were let down steep places.
Winches were used to pull some of them up the other side. Because of the
scars left on the hillsides it was referred to as Spurgins "Beaver
After crossing Otter Creek a road to the left leads
to the Grizzly Bear Ground. This road is open only in the evening when
rangers can supervise the feeding and the traffic. Because of the
presence of grizzly bears it is unsafe to visit the area at other times.
A lecture on bears is given each evening at 7:15 by a ranger naturalist
at the Grizzly Bear Ground.
A splendid view of the Canyon and Lower Falls. The
trail on the right of the road is the north rim trail. At this point
another trail leads down to Red Rock. Red Rock is a pinnacle of partly
decomposed lava and between it and the canyon
walls may be seen sedimentary beds of sand and
gravel. Rangers and Ranger Naturalists lead parties on these trails
daily. (See schedules on bulletin board at Ranger Station).
The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone have a height of
308 feet and are magnificent in their color and setting.
Straight ahead to Inspiration Point. (Distance 1
From Inspiration Point the entire sweep of the canyon
is in view. The brightly colored part lies largely to the west but
toward the east the canyon walls are more somber. As a matter of fact,
the rock in both areas originated in the same way, being lava flows
which poured out in this region before the Ice Age. The lava is normally
a fine grained rock of the granite family known as rhyolite. In past
times the area of the canyon between the Lower Falls and Inspiration
Point was the site of hot spring and geyser activity. The hot
subterranean gases rising through the cracks in the rhyolite lava
decomposed it so that now we have remaining only the residue which is
mostly clay with scattered quartz grains. The colors such as yellow,
orange, red, lavender, pink, etc. are due to traces of iron or other
metallic oxides in various amounts and stages of oxidation or
The Canyon itself has been washed out by running
water. This well-known process of erosion has performed here a splendid
piece of sculptoring which, with the help of the coloring of the
decomposed lava and framed in the dark green fringe of a lodgepole
forest, is a picture of enthralling beauty. There are still several hot
springs and steam vents in the Canyon and at least one small spouter
known as "Tom Thumb Geyser." It is located near the foot of Uncle
Toms Trail. We now return to the Tower Falls Junction, where the highway
continues to Dunraven Pass, Tower Falls, and Mammoth Hot Springs and
set our speedometer at 2.2.
The trip over the top of Mt. Washburn is interesting
and well worthwhile. Distance over the top is eight miles. The road is
constructed for one-way traffic only. It can be climbed in second gear
by motors in good condition. Second or low gears should be used by all.
The mountain consists of volcanic breccia and agglomerate intruded by
occasional dikes of basalt. The source of the breccia was most certainly
eastward or southeastward rather than to the northwest as was formerly
Mt. Washburn is noted for its wildflowers in season
and large areas are at times covered by mountain phlox, penstamon,
chiming bells, phacelia, and many others of rare beauty.
An observation station is located on the top where a
lookout is located throughout the season. He will answer questions and
point out things of interest including the mountain ranges which may be
viewed from the top of the peak. For viewing bighorn sheep and details a
telescope is provided.
The length of the road over Mt. Washburn is eight miles; however, when
returning to the main highway set speedometer at 13.2.
Straight ahead for Parking place for Tower Falls and
Haynes Picture Shop.
After dismounting we proceed along a trail for about
100 yards to Tower Falls. The waterfall is 132 feet high. The towers on
either side are picturesque remnants of erosion composed of volcanic
breccia. The Yellowstone River flows by a short distance to the north. A
good view of the opposite canyon wall may be seen from the platform
built for viewing Tower Falls. The canyon wall at this place is composed
of breccia overlain by river gravel and two lava flows also separated by
river deposits. The lava flows are of basalt and appear as though they
were made up of posts standing upright and closely packed together. This
columnar structure in the basalt is caused by the contraction
of the molten lava when cooling. A close view of columnar structure may
be seen along the main highway a little farther on at Overhanging
We return to our car and proceed across Tower Creek
and at
Across the canyon the columnar structure of
two basalt flows may be seen separated by
ancient river gravel. The columnar structure is due
to contraction joints developed as the lava cooled. On the near side of
the canyon, needle-like spires of volcanic breccia may be seen, left by
the erosion of surrounding material.
The valleys and hillsides in this area and along the
road to Cooke and also to Mammoth Hot Springs make up the winter grazing
ground of the elk and deer. Buffalo (bison), bighorn sheep, and antelope
may also be seen in this region especially in the winter.
Crossing GEODE CREEK
(A geode is a stone having a cavity lined with
A fine view of Mt. Everts on the right. It was
named for Truman C. Everts, the man who was lost for 37 days from the Washburn Party of
1870. His story of "Thirty Seven Days of Peril" reads like fiction.
The mountain is made up of layers of sandstone and
shale of Upper Cretaceous Age and capped at the south end by a lava flow
of rhyolite. Some Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep spend the winter on the
north slopes of this mountain.

Advice for the Class of 2018
Two campus residents have some advice for incoming freshman. They encourage students to get to know their professors, and take the time to get in involved in activities that spark their passion.
Network Visualization Fuses Science and Art
Science and art are often perceived to be at opposite ends of the academic spectrum. But Danielle Bassett, a researcher at Penn, believes the two disciplines can inform each other in tangible ways.
Move-in Day for Class of 2018
On Aug. 21 and Aug. 22, more than 2,400 freshmen and their families arrived at Penn, unloading cars and pushing wheeled cardboard boxes filled with bedding, clothes, and other necessities to their new campus homes.

In-situ aerosol data collected in the Arctic troposphere during a three-week period in 2004 were analysed. The measurements took place during late spring, i.e., at the time of the year when the characteristics of the aerosol distribution change from being accumulation-mode dominated to being primarily of the Aitken-mode type, a process that previously has been observed in the boundary layer. To address the question whether this transition is also detectable in the free troposphere of an aircraft-measured data from the ASTAR 2004 campaign were analysed. In this study, we present vertically as well as temporally results from both ground-based and airborne measurements of the total number concentrations of particles larger than 10 and 260 nm. Aircraft-measured size distributions of the aerosol ranging from 20 to 2200 nm have been evaluated with regard to conditions in the boundary layer as well as in the free troposphere. Furthermore an analysis of the volatile fraction of the aerosol population has been performed both for the integrated and size-distributed results. From these investigations we find that the transition takes place in the entire troposphere.

Thinking Inside the Box
Breaking News: Our New Lineup
by Ellis Bromberg, General Manager of MPTV
Hi again, Ellis Bromberg with another video "Thinking Inside the Box."
You know, over the past year, we've done a series of town hall meetings in our broadcasting area -- the most recent one in March in Kenosha. We had a good turnout there, and folks had a number of questions: reception issues, where they could find our new multicast stations on cable, programs we could produce to better serve the Kenosha area, and much more.
When we hold these, I'm always impressed by how people have come to rely on public television -- Milwaukee Public Television -- for certain types of programs, programs you don't regularly, or in some cases, ever, find on commercial stations or cable networks: science programs, history, educational programs for children, British comedies and classic drama, the fine arts -- symphonies and dance and opera.
One of the areas that a lot of people look to us to cover is international and national news in-depth. I often get questions about our weekday block of news on Channel 36.1, and our Friday night lineup on Channel 10, as well. There were comments of appreciation at the Kenosha town hall meeting about both.
So I want to tell you about some changes we're making, partly due to viewer requests and partly due to necessity.
A popular program we've aired for several years, weekdays at 6 o'clock on Channel 36.1, WORLDFOCUS, is ending production; more about that in a moment. But its departure created a hole in our news lineup. To fill it, effective April 5, THE PBS NEWSHOUR has moved to 6 o'clock. Until about ten years ago, that was where the NEWSHOUR was shown, and throughout the years, we've been asked to reconsider moving the program back there. In fact, since we made the decision to move it back to 6, viewer response has been overwhelmingly positive.
With WORLDFOCUS gone, we really felt the need to offer a program with a focus on international news in that early evening lineup. BBC WORLD NEWS used to air there, but we were forced to drop it several years ago when the BBC withdrew rights to U.S. stations like us to run it early; it has continued to air at 10 o'clock, however. With the news about WORLDFOCUS, we asked the BBC whether we could return BBC WORLD NEWS to the early evening lineup. They said, yes, but no earlier than 7 p.m. Well, guess what: we now had a hole to fill at 7, and everything fell into place.
So here it is, the revised weekday lineup on Channel 36.1, effective April 5:
At 5:30, JOURNAL, a production of Germany's Deutsche Welle television, presents news and analysis with a unique European perspective. At 6, THE PBS NEWSHOUR, with its new format. At 7, the return of BBC WORLD NEWS, the latest global news from the world's largest news broadcaster. And finally at 7:30, THE NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, television's most-watched evening business news program.
Now, what's happening to the staff who have worked on WORLDFOCUS? Well, they will be working on a new Friday night program that will premiere on Channel 10 on May 7. It's called NEED TO KNOW, a new weekly public affairs program. It will be co-hosted by Newsweek editor Jon Meachem and Alison Stewart, she's formerly of National Public Radio.
NEED TO KNOW is going to replace BILL MOYERS JOURNAL and NOW ON PBS. Bill Moyers, a good friend at age 75, is retiring, and NOW ON PBS is ending production.
So look for NEED TO KNOW beginning May 7, and in the meantime, we hope you'll continue to join us every weekday beginning at 5:30 for our international and national news programming.
Of course, we're always interested in your opinion -- so drop us a line through the mail, or online, or give us a call. And I'll speak with you again next month.

Edward Taylor Scott
Edward Taylor "Ted" Scott (15 November 1883 - 22 April 1932) was a British journalist, who was editor and briefly co-owner of the Manchester Guardian, and the younger son of its legendary editor-owner C. P. Scott.
After a brief spell at the University of Oxford, Ted Scott attended the London School of Economics, and eventually took a University of London external degree, having left the LSE to work as private secretary to Sidney Olivier, the governor of Jamaica. While at the LSE he lodged with the family of the economist and Guardian contributor J. A. Hobson, and later married Hobson's daughter Mabel.
Ted Scott joined the Manchester Guardian in 1913 and became its commercial editor and main writer of leaders on economic policy. In the spring of 1915 he joined the army to fight in World War I. In 1918 he was captured as a prisoner of war until the end of hostilities. After the war he rejoined the paper, eventually succeeding his father as editor on 1 July 1929. Ted Scott's most important action as editor was to move the paper from its initial position of support for Ramsay MacDonald's National Government towards the opposition.
Ted Scott became joint owner of the Guardian with his brother John after the death of their father on New Year's Day, 1932. Less than four months later Ted Scott drowned while sailing on Windermere. His death put the future independence of the Guardian in doubt, as the Scott family struggled to pay the inheritance taxes. He was succeeded as editor by W. P. Crozier.

JA - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
The problem of extracting the local shape information of a 3-D texture surface from a single 2-D image by tracking the perceived systematic deformations the texture undergoes by virtue of being present on a 3-D surface and by virtue of being imaged is examined. The surfaces of interest are planar and developable surfaces. The textured objects are viewed as originating by laying a rubber planar sheet with a homogeneous parent texture on it onto the objects. The homogeneous planar parent texture is modeled by a stationary Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF). A probability distribution function for the texture data obtained by projecting the planar parent texture under a linear camera model is derived, which is an explicit function of the parent GMRF parameters, the surface shape parameters. and the camera geometry. The surface shape parameter estimation is posed as a maximum likelihood estimation problem. A stereo-windows concept is introduced to obtain a unique and consistent parent texture from the image data that, under appropriate transformations, yields the observed texture in the image. The theory is substantiated by experiments on synthesized as well as real images of textured surfaces.

Guide to Design and Development of Health-State Utility Instrumentation
AbstractGrowing interest in methods of quantifying health-related quality of life has resulted in demand for a manual describing general techniques that may be customized by health researchers and used to measure preferences in applications having a wide variety of objectives. This report is intended to provide practice guidelines to researchers who require information about the design, construction and administration of instruments used to obtain estimates of health utility. The focus is on the steps required to conduct a study in which preferences are measured; the theory that underlies utility measurement is not presented. Utility scores may be used to assess the health-related quality of life for specific health states. Utility scores are also useful in evaluations, such as cost-utility analyses, in which the costs of health care interventions are compared to their consequences both in terms of quantity and quality of life. In order to obtain reliable, valid, and responsive utility scores, however, the instruments must be carefully designed, tested and executed. Experience to date indicates that careful instrument development requires time, effort and care. Three major instruments are described: rating scale, standard gamble and time trade-off. Methodologically correct techniques are recommended where possible and suggestions, based on experience, are presented for situation in which theoretical or empirical evidence is lacking. The guide discusses the criteria for selection of techniques, materials, interviewers and respondents. Examples of an interviewer training manual, interview scripts and data recording forms are also included. Detailed diagrams provide specifications for assembling visual aids (i.e., interviewing props) and an extensive bibliography will direct readers interested in specific issues to appropriate references.

State Senator Curren Price is vying for Los Angeles City Council's 9th District seat, he announced recently, citing a flurry of support from local businesses, community and clergy members as his motivation. Price is joining an array of candidates in the race to fill the seat, which will be vacated by termed-out council member and mayoral hopeful, Jan Perry, in 2013. Price said he sees the job in the 9th as an opportunity to "really make a change."
"I recognize the ability to deal with issues, deal with problems at the local level—where the rubber meets the road," he said.
Currently presiding over the 26th senate district, Price would still be representing a large percentage of his constituents as councilmember.
"The 26th Senate District is vast and diverse including the areas around USC, LA Live and parts even further east," said Price.
"I think that I have the background training to bring problem-solving to a new level and really make a difference—an impact to people in this area."
Price said he is adopting the phrase, the "New 9th," to describe the new energy, commitment and enthusiasm he expects to bring as councilmember. Some of the areas he will focus on are: jobs, housing, civic engagement and new initiatives.
"I want to be an advocate to make sure the city is getting it's fair share of public works," said Price.
"Making sure streets are swept, alleys are clean, working with neighborhood councils, block clubs—bringing private sectors and non-private sectors together in a collaborative way is where we have to proceed."
Also high on his agenda is education, and Price has plans to work closely with elementary schools, encouraging more STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs and increasing learning centers throughout the district.
"The New 9th is ripe for innovation," said Price. "I want to advance programs that have great applicability, not just in the district, but city wide.
"One area that I will pursue will be the use of social impact bonds to solve some of our most pressing social needs such as affordable housing, health and human services delivery and reducing recidivism in the criminal justice system. This innovative financing tool will allow for private sector investment to resolve some of the most intractable problems in our community. The private sector would like to invest in improving outcomes in our community and the ideal method is the use of social impact bonds. Social impact bonds allow for non-profit service providers to receive much needed funding from the private sector in order to continue to improve the quality of life for residents."
In announcing his endorsement of Price, Council President Herb Wesson said, "Sen. Price is the best candidate for the job. He has served the city of L.A. and the community well over the years, and his history has demonstrated that." Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas has echoed those same sentiments. And according to the Senator, he is also endorsed by Congresswoman Karen Bass.

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s wife said her husband is seeing his doctor two to three times a week and that she doesn't know if he will return to work before the Nov. 6 election.
Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson told reporters the congressman is eager to "get back out and do what he can" but that his physicians have directed him to "stay very calm and very quiet."
"Right now he knows he has to follow doctors' orders," she said.
She said his physicians will decide when the Chicago Democrat can return to work.
The 47-year-old congressman took a medical leave about three months ago, though his staff did not initially disclose what illness he was suffering from or where he was. It was later revealed he had been hospitalized suffering from bipolar disorder and gastrointestinal problems.
Jackson, who was first elected to Congress in 1995, left the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in September and returned to the family's home in Washington. He vowed to return to the campaign trail by Labor Day but hasn't made a campaign appearance since the spring primary election. His name remains on next month's ballot.
The family recently put its Washington home up for sale but took it off the market because people who were not serious about buying it were showing up at the house, Sandi Jackson said.
She said the family was still trying to sell the home privately and hoped it will help cover some of Jackson's medical bills not covered by insurance.

Forget about a date night. President Barack Obama and wife Michelle marked their wedding anniversary with a debate night.
The couple's 20th anniversary was October 3, the same day the president held his first debate with Republican rival Mitt Romney. "Go figure," the first lady said in a recent television interview.
The president said he and his wife planned a belated anniversary celebration for Saturday. His campaign is also asking supporters to sign an electronic anniversary card for the first couple.
The Obamas at least spent their anniversary in the same city, a rarity given that both are frequently in battleground states in the campaign's final weeks. Mrs. Obama was in the audience in Denver when her husband took the debate stage.

Doctors in Kenya's public hospitals on Wednesday October 3 spent their 17th day on strike to protest the dilapidated state of public health care. Emergency rooms in some of Kenya's public hospitals frequently don't have gloves or medicine, and power outages sometimes force doctors to use the light from their phones to complete a procedure.
Kenya's government fired 1,000 of the 2,000 striking doctors last week despite a shortfall of skilled medical practitioners. The government had promised to implement reforms in health care last year after doctors walked off the job and held protests.
At least two patients have died due to lack of treatment since the strike started, union officials say, but the government claims health facilities are coping well without the striking workers.
Attempts to hold talks this week with officials from the Ministry for Medical Services failed, prompting the doctors to flood social media with tell-all stories about deplorable conditions in public hospitals.
"Tuberculosis patients meant to be isolated yet they are sharing beds in the corridors meant for walking which have been converted to wards," Dr. Stanely Aruyaru said in a Twitter posting.
"It is a pity for someone to survive an accident but die in hospital because there is no blood, no Intensive Care Unit, no cervical collar, no splints and now no doctor," said Dr. Allan Kochi from the Nyeri provincial hospital in the Central Kenya. Dr. Nelly Bosire, the union representative, confirmed that the postings were authentic.
Dr. Fredrick Oluga, told The Associated Press how in mid-August he was called in to help remove the placenta from a woman that was stuck after she had just given birth. Oluga said that that when he arrived there was no electricity at the Vihiga district hospital in western Kenya and the standby generator did not have fuel. And the hospital did not have gynecological gloves for the procedure, he said.
"The patient was bleeding profusely and I had to act quickly so the nurse pointed light from her phone for me to conduct the procedure," Oluga said. He said twice this year he had to use light from a mobile phone and that such incidents are fairly common across the country.
Health care has been in a deplorable state in Kenya for a long time, but the country's poor — and many in Kenya — think the state of health care is the norm, said Bosire, the Nairobi branch chairwoman of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacist and Dentist Union.
Bosire said middle class and rich Kenyans do not realize the problems in public health facilities until they are forced to seek treatment there when treatment in private hospitals becomes too expensive. Public hospitals charge far less than private hospitals, where politicians and top government officials seek treatment, Bosire said.
The two top health officials in the country, Medical Services Minister Anyang Nyongo, who fired the striking doctors and has refused to negotiate with the union, and the Minister for Public Health Beth Mugo, spent months in the U.S. for cancer treatment last year at the taxpayers' expense, Bosire said.
"We have specialists in this country to treat such cases, though inadequate in number. We just lack the facilities," she said.
Doctors want the government to spend more money on health care, including hiring more workers. International advocacy groups have repeatedly criticized Kenya for not investing enough in health care. The World Health Organization says Kenya and several other countries in Africa have not met a pledge made in 2000 to increase their health budgets to 15 percent of their national budgets by 2010. Kenya, East Africa's biggest economy has set aside 6 percent of the total budget. Rwanda, by comparison, allocates 18 percent of the total budget to health care, Bosire said.
Kenya has one doctor for every 6,250 people. The World Health Organization's recommended ratio is one doctor for 100 people.
Mwalimu Mati, an anti-corruption crusader, says the health care funding shortfall is caused in part by non-essential government spending, like international and domestic travel by government officials. Kenya recently inaugurated a newly refurbished parliament chamber where each of 350 seats cost $3,000.
Bosire said 32 babies less than a month old die in Kenya each day because of a lack of incubators to keep them warm.
"If I must stay on the street to get the infrastructure I need to save life," said Bosire, "then I'd rather be on the streets, rather than certifying deaths in hospitals."

|Telomeres, age and reproduction in a long-lived reptile

|Résumé :
|A major interest has recently emerged in understanding how telomere shortening, mechanism triggering cell senescence, is linked to organism ageing and life history traits in wild species. However, the links between telomere length and key history traits such as reproductive performances have received little attention and remain unclear to date. The leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea is a long-lived species showing rapid growth at early stages of life, one of the highest reproductive outputs observed in vertebrates and a dichotomised reproductive pattern related to migrations lasting 2 or 3 years, supposedly associated with different environmental conditions. Here we tested the prediction of blood telomere shortening with age in this species and investigated the relationship between blood telomere length and reproductive performances in leatherback turtles nesting in French Guiana. We found that blood telomere length did not differ between hatchlings and adults. The absence of blood telomere shortening with age may be related to an early high telomerase activity. This telomere-restoring enzyme was formerly suggested to be involved in preventing early telomere attrition in early fastgrowing and long-lived species, including squamate reptiles. We found that within one nesting cycle, adult females having performed shorter migrations prior to the considered nesting season had shorter blood telomeres and lower reproductive output. We propose that shorter blood telomeres may result from higher oxidative stress in individuals breeding more frequently (i.e., higher costs of reproduction) and/or restoring more quickly their body reserves in cooler feeding areas during preceding migration (i.e., higher foraging costs). This first study on telomeres in the giant leatherback turtle suggests that blood telomere length predicts not only survival chances, but also reproductive performances. Telomeres may therefore be a promising new tool to evaluate individual reproductive quality which could be useful in such species of conservation concern.
