Time Magazine: New Paths to Buried Treasure

Traditionally, investigative reporters have relied on shoe leather and patience to ferret out the proverbial smoking gun. However, in the computer age, newsmen are enlisting the machine with dramatic results: In Providence, the Journal-Bulletin used an IBM 4381 to analyze 30,000 low- interest mortgages issued by the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corp. By matching mortgage issue dates with the bond issue that financed them, the machine helped expose a "secret fund" that apparently was used to give out RIHMFC loans to politically connected people like the daughter of former Governor J. Joseph Garrahy (who has since returned the loan). Following the revelations in the Journal-Bulletin, the Fleet National Bank and 24 individuals were indicted. At the Milwaukee Journal, Reporter Nina Bernstein heard that undefended indigents were being jailed for months because they could not pay $100-to-$300 fines for offenses like jaywalking. She went after the story, he

Whites

2014 Abbazia di Novacella Kerner $50

• Grape(s): Kerner
• Region: Trentino-Alto Adige, Varna

Abbazia di Novacella is a bat-signal wine — it’s a sign to wine dorks that this place is a good place. Kerner is a dry white that has some stone and tropical fruit on the nose, a little bit of that on the palate, but mostly good acid and some minerals. A great and under appreciated grape from a good producer.

2010 Monastero Suore Cistercensi “Coenobium Ruscum” $70

• Grapes: Trebbiano, Malvasia, Verdiccio

Homework

I make a few assumptions that you should make sure are true:

• You have a mental idea of the user who will be using your website and the core problem they're trying to solve, e.g., "academics looking for statistics about hunting injuries" or "concerned citizens who want to know the current population of Guantanamo Bay detainees."

• You have put some thought into how your website can solve these problems. Remember: Keep your features simple. A perfectly acceptable version of your site could be "read the descriptions of each hunting accident to see the conditions under which people have been injured."

• You can express these thoughts in terms of pages that show both the near and the far view, e.g., give some understanding of the whole but allow a user to dive in on details as appropriate.

With these assumptions in mind, you should feel comfortable enough with the contents of your data set to start working on laying out your web site. Perhaps you'd like to have a gri
