Manchester United's Ferguson Criticizes Media 'Sensationalism'
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said soccer players are now subject to media "sensationalism" to a degree that was reserved for Hollywood actors when he first joined the club more than 25 years ago.
"They face situations wherever they go that they are in the spotlight, that's the unfortunate thing for the modern footballer," Ferguson told reporters in Zurich, where he's a nominee for FIFA's coach of the year award. "If you go back 25 years ago it was all the young actors from film who were getting attention."
Ferguson yesterday expressed concern that United's Wayne Rooney has become a target for the U.K.'s media in the same way that former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne was during his playing career. Gascoigne has battled alcohol and mental illness for much of the past decade.
Three days ago, United and Rooney issued denials over a story in the Independent newspaper that the player would be sold because of a dispute with Ferguson. Rooney threatened to leave in October 2010 before signing a new contract after putting out a statement questioning United's ability to attract top players.
The growth of satellite television and dedicated websites has made it harder for newspapers to find exclusive content and led to the "sensationalism that you see in journalism today," Ferguson said.
His team beat Premier League leader Manchester City 3-2 in the F.A. Cup yesterday, with Rooney scoring twice. City captain Vincent Kompany was red-carded in the 12th minute of the match, and manager Roberto Mancini claimed Rooney pressured the referee to send off the player. City leads United in England's Premier League.
'Unfortunate Part'
Ferguson said he understood Mancini's reaction although he said Rooney's gesture was an instinctive one that's an "unfortunate part of our game."
"It's what happens with players today: they all appeal for opposition players to be sent off," Ferguson said. "I have no complaints about Wayne."
Rooney joined United in 2004 for 25.6 million pounds ($39.5 million), a then world record fee for a teenager. Since then the club has won four league titles and a Champions League.
Newspaper reports said he was left out of the team for a game against Blackburn last month for disciplinary reasons.

Ministers should consider scrapping the oldest and dirtiest diesels in the UK to improve air quality.That's according to the RAC Foundation, which has called for the most polluting models – those around 10 years or older – to be taken off the road.
In a new report, the Foundation claims that there are 29,000 premature deaths every year due to air quality. And now it's calling on the Government to do something to lower harmful pollutants, which can cause serious illnesses like asthma, heart conditions and cancer.
The popularity of diesel cars has soared in the last 20 years. Lower CO2 emissions and better fuel economy, plus Vehicle Excise Duty and company car incentives, have seen numbers rise from 1.6m in 1994 to 10.1 million in 2013.
• Congestion Charge up 15 per cent
But older diesels typically emit more nitrogen oxide and particulate matter than petrol cars, and these are linked to poor air quality and health issues. "Many people believed that by buying diesels they'd get better fuel consumption and help fight global warming through low CO2 emissions," Prof. Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, explained.
"But such was the focus on the planet that policy makers missed the impact older diesel models in particular have on health in urban areas. The car industry has risen to the challenge of cleaning up diesel engines but we need to deal with the legacy of the dirtiest diesels."
• Hybrid car servicing on the up
A spokesman from the Department for Transport told us that there are no current plans to introduce such a scheme and that other projects were already helping to improve air quality. He said: "There have been major improvements in air quality over the past two decades, and we're investing £2billion on a range of actions to improve it further. These include promoting ultra-low emission vehicles, greener public transport, walking and cycling."

A deal between NFL owners and players could prevent serious economic loss in cities with teams for thousands of businesses that rely on the sport for revenue. As for the proposed deal itself, two sports economists break down the impact: (1) consumer demand stays hot; (2) NFL owners will increase profits; (3) hyper-period of free agency.

Just over two months have passed since we shipped the Microsoft Vine beta. During that time, we have received thousands of questions, ideas and suggestions. We've been inspired by your stories and, equally important, your feedback is helping us make Vine even better.
Here are a few examples of how people are using Microsoft Vine today, and how people would like us to improve Vine in our next release.
Connecting with family every day, and when it's urgent.
· "This is a great way to communicate with family."
· "This tool will only add more value to the emergency plan I have put in place with my family."
Staying informed about the places that matter.
· "Microsoft Vine is a very useful and amazing program. It is pretty much what I'd call, "a community bulletin board."
· "I'm finding Vine useful for its localized news for my places."
Reaching the people I care about when it's important, with Vine alerts.
· "Love that you get alerts via email and especially via SMS. Makes staying in contact easy in case of emergency."
· "Very useful for contacting people when you have an announcement, instead of going through the trouble of emailing every single one."
Downloading the Vine client is cumbersome.
· "Please make this work without having to install an application."
· "My daughter, to whom I would like to send an alert, is probably not going to go through the trouble of downloading the software."
Make it easier for me to invite other people.
· "A way to sync Vine emergency contacts with Windows Live contacts would be very useful."
· "Would be more useful if it was able to automatically get my contacts' information."
These are just a handful of the comments that we have received. In the near future, we'll publish a blog post with details about the priorities for our next release. Your input is very important in helping us to determine those priorities.
So, please keep your comments coming. You can interact with others users in our forum, or submit an anonymous suggestion through our online feedback tool. Either way, you're helping Vine do more to improve peoples' lives.

Audio Synthesis and Visualization with Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0
This paper explains the methods and techniques used to build a fully functional audio synthesizer and FFT-based audio visualizer within the newest version of Flash CS3. Audio synthesis and visualization have not been possible to achieve in previous versions of Flash, but two new elements of ActionScript 3.0 – the Byte Array and Compute Spectrum function – make it possible even though it is not included in Flash's codebase. Since Flash is present on 99% of the world's computers, this opens many new opportunities for audio on the web.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Almost two decades ago, I completed a project to develop and deploy a teller and sales application for a large U.S. bank. Enhanced business capabilities, technology upgrades in the branches, and a pending bank merger were the business drivers. Some months after the production roll-out, as the Chief Architect, I was invited to a meeting with the Vice Chairman of the Retail Banking who wanted to understand my perspective on how the bank should address challenges in meeting future demands that required extending the reach of the teller and sales platform functionality to other parts of the bank.
The Vice Chairman was responsible for all retail functions of the bank and expansion was hot on the agenda. The bank was growing, entering new market places, acquiring banks, opening branches, and rapidly attracting new customers. We sat down and discussed cross selling, expansion goals, and the need for several parts of the Bank such as credit card processing, wholesale banking, and loans, to be able to access and use functionality contained in the teller application we had just built and deployed. Obtaining customer information, account balance inquiries, and address updates were just a few of the basic pieces of functionality needed by these other departments but there were more complex pieces of business functionality required, too.
When wholesale banking or credit card processing needed to access data or functionality in the teller system, they needed to go through a development cycle that necessitated waiting in a queue with others, whereby the IT department could prioritize and satisfy the multiple requests and requirements. The Vice Chairman expressed this current situation as a problem; it impacted the bank's capability to get more products out the door faster and his ability to meet sales and revenue targets. He asked two questions: How can we do this better and how can the bank provide access to previously built and deployed business functionalities to other parts of the bank without going through IT development queues? Addressing this question and others by senior business executives has been top of mind for me for two decades.
Over the last decade, I have met with corporate executives from hundreds of companies across the world whose enterprises are characterized by disparate and siloed systems and applications; horizontal integration is the goal as businesses seek greater agility in the global marketplace. Corporate managers are asking how do to make the IT system more flexible so that it is easy to connect across the enterprise and so it is inexpensive in both time and cost. The story of the bank occurred two decades ago, but I find CEOs and other corporate executives asking this same question over and over again, decades later. Everyone is searching for flexibility as competition intensifies. Everyone sees this albatross around their neck getting uglier and negatively impacting goals for growth and limiting the responsiveness and agility required as the cost of maintaining, integrating, and supporting systems is rising. Less capital is available for innovation, changing the business, and delivering new capabilities.
Just a few years ago, I met with a corporate manager responsible for a payments business. His frustration was apparent as we discussed the need to change his three-year-old IT system to accommodate new channels (phones, kiosks, and other mobile devices) and new market segmentations. He was frustrated because although he was not a technologist or software engineer he knew something was not right. He wanted to know why after millions of dollars of investment in a creating a new payment system, built three years earlier, it was not easy to change his payment system to accommodate small and medium businesses or to allow access to payments using handheld devices.. He asked this question because his payment system was built with modern software engineering best practices yet flexibility was evasive: adding new channels and new customer segments would take too long and cost too much money as if he were building the system from scratch versus just changing the system. I responded and the short answer is that applying best practices and modern system engineering practices is not sufficient if agility is the goal. I further stated that there is a considerable amount of data that shows this problem is not isolated that most applications become difficult to change within 3 to 5 years after the first production deployment.
Recently, I was in Mexico City working with a large logistics company. It was just finishing an 18-month project to reengineer a core IT system that was no longer responsive to the business. The new system was engineered like the bank system two decades earlier, with the best software engineering practices and tools available. I was asked if this new system would suffer the fate of past systems in its capability to be responsive. That is, would this system become brittle in the future and if so, why? Would this new system be built for change such that flexibility was an attribute of the system and not a platitude? Again I answered no, stating that applying best practices alone will not achieve the goal of agility. I know this is true because his team and teams just like his around the world have been using modern and best practices of software engineering for years with the same results. The result is that three to five years after the system has been deployed it is difficult to change, and is expensive in time and money.
It is not only the commercial world that sees a problem but the public sector. we have met with various public sector organizations over the years and my interactions confirm that they are confronted with the same challenges we see in the private sector. :Public and private sector managers see the rising cost of support, integration, and maintenance of the systems as a ball and chain that is a huge drag on cost reduction and as a result, it puts a limit on monies available for creating new capabilities in the theater as the available dollars are limited.
It is these questions and their answers that prompted us to write this book about service-oriented architecture (SOA). This is not a technology book, but a book for technologists and business stakeholders. We hope to demonstrate, that SOA and service-orientation in general, is not solely a technology play but a paradigm and architecture that calls for business and IT collaboration and when understood and applied, it can change the course of your business, where flexibility and lower total cost of ownership become realities.
Total cost of ownership and flexibility are different sides of the same coin. There is less flexibility when funds are not available to spend or when providing new capabilities is constrained because resources are consumed in integration, maintenance, and support.
Flexibility is evident when the business, not IT, has the power to deploy new business features without IT development queues or when new capabilities can be provided in weeks or months instead of years, and when two or more capabilities can be composed at will to create a new, enhanced capability that directly supports business drivers and alleviates painpoints.
If we make the right choices, we will have a chance to escape from the boxes that frustrate us today. The escape will not be easy —we will be constantly challenged to question conventional assumptions and comfortable practices. Many will not even see the opportunity. They will continue to remain closed in the boxes that make every day more frustrating. Some will see the opportunity but will either try to move too quickly or fail to stay the course. They will blame the technology for its failure to produce results. For those few who succeed, the rewards will make the journey well worth the effort.
—John Hagel III in Out of the Box
Our choice as managers, leaders, or architects is to seize the opportunity and release ourselves from self-imposed boxed thinking because "if you don't change anything, nothing changes." We can make business flexibility a reality with IT support but it requires a vision, a strategy, execution of the strategy, and most importantly, staying the course. The strategy must be a living plan accompanied with a evolving roadmap that can be implemented, monitored, and measured. It requires you take incremental steps that together bring about change: incremental and quantum leaps over time.
If you want to get out of the boxes that John describes, enabling your IT systems to be engines of innovation, this book will be of value. If you are responsible for strategy in the organization and need to link that strategy to an IT strategy to make your IT systems and infrastructure capable of supporting a rapidly changing landscape or business model, you should read this book. If you are tired of reading about platitudes and seek guidance about how to achieve business flexibility through the adoption of SOA, you will obtain value in reading this book. This book is not about a technology change; it's about a business journey with IT, where SOA is both the enabler and the catalyst.
This book is different than other books on SOA as content is organized into 100 questions and answers. Feel free to go directly to the chapter that most interests you or go directly to a question for which you would like an answer. Visit http://www.100Questions.info and submit any questions that remain unanswered.

I have a live site which is constructed main using 'pages'. Posts are used for updates and posted in two categories, 'general' and 'news'. I used the hyrbid theme to create my templates and used the blog.php template to bring all posts to the page called 'Blog'. I now require however two separate pages, one for the category 'general' and one for the category 'news'. These must remain as 'Pages' calling on a template to allow other functionality to continue working, hense i cant just link to '/category/news' :(
Can anyone help me out with the snippet required to filter the query?
Many many thanks in advance,

Its the worst night of the week, elimination night. After a night of duos and solos, you took the time to vote Canada to make your Top 8. The judges have lost their say and now, its all up to you, so lets hope that you made the right choice. Before we get started, we are treated to a trip back to the 70's for a Disco group routine by Maria Torres. The costumes are full of sparkle and the girls work it out with their kicks. The boys have some great tricks and I was glad to see Jeff and Charlene's neck/spin back in action. There were some great lifts as well and the girls looked amazing in their sequinned bodysuits. Leah joins the dancers on stage and we begin first calling up the Top 5 girls. Two of them will be in danger. Now the votes are final as the judges once again, have no say.
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. For one, I love the weather and use of warm sweaters in my wardrobe. Second, I love watching the leaves change color. But most importantly, I love that with the coming of fall brings, NHL HOCKEY. Its been a long summer especially without NHL or Winter Olympics to enjoy. It seems like my body was overstimulated with winter sport in early 2010. Today, we get to enjoy the season opener with 5 match ups and I'm going to talk about all of them. Its shaping up to be an interesting season. There have been a lot of trades. Some beneficial and some devastating to a teams fan base. But how will that effect the climb to the Cup playoffs? It all starts now.
Carolina Hurricanes vs. Minnesota Wild
This game is the first of 3 games to take place in Europe as part of the premiere of the season. Today, these teams square off in Helsinki, Finland while Friday we hit Stockholm, Sweden and Sunday we end up in Prague, Czech Republic. This will be a new era for the Hurricanes as long time captain Rod Brind'Amour announced his retirement at the close of last season and passed the torch on to Eric Staal who has clearly began to own the club. Other than Staal, the team is relying on a few of their veterans to help deliver a strong offense including Jokinen, who was the surprise success last season scoring 30 goals in 81 games destroying his previous personal best. The Wild on the other hand have a lot to prove. They missed the playoffs for the second time in a row and finished 13th out of 15 teams in the Western conference. A big disappointment last year for the Wild was the let down of the 6-year, $30 Million dollar contracted Martin Havlat. He didn't perform at par to prove the worth of his placement. Havlat is Minnesota's highest-paid player outside of goaltender Niklas Backstrom and he needs to start producing more offense if the Wild have any chance at getting back to the postseason. Havlat is currently battling a groin injury, but is expected to play today.
WE'RE FINALLY HERE! TOP 10. It feels like the longest road to get here with adding 2 extra dancers at the beginning of the season but we made it. Through all the hard routines and heartbreak of friends leaving the competition, you Canada voted your favorite 5 boys and 5 girls into the Top 10. They're ready to leave it all on the floor for your votes. Now a little change. You no longer are voting for your favorite couples but are now voting for your favorite individual dancer. This is always the best part for me because then you really see if it was the couples, or the routines putting some of your favorites in danger. Leah introduces tonight's judges which include Jean-Marc Genereux, Tre Armstrong, director of the National Ballet Karen Kane and Hip Hop choreography Dan Karaty. Lets begin! Each dancer will dance one routine with their partners and then perform a solo in their own style.
Tonight is eliminations. After last night's story telling, who left it all on the floor and won you over America. Millions voted through calls, text and web votes. Audrina, Kyle and Kurt are the first celebs up on the block. The first couple safe is Audrina and Tony. I think this is great. Their emotional routine last night rocked the house. Kurt and Ana are the second couple safe and Kyle and Lacey find themselves in possible danger. Kurt stepped it up last night I thought but Kyle is the ultimate performer. He just needs to figure out how to make his footwork look less awkward.
After Ne-Yo's performance, we are on to our next set of couples. Rick, Brandy and Jennifer are up to hear their results. Jennifer and Derek are the first couple safe. Their routine had a little mistake at the beginning, but its seems America didn't care. Rick and Cheryl find themselves in jeopardy as Brandy and Maks are safe for the second week in a row. Rick did so well with his partner last night and had his shirt ripped open. Where were all the soccer moms? Why didn't you call? Brandy and Maks had a great routine but I'm not a fan of Maks' teaching style. Hopefully he can buck up before next week.
So many tragic stories in the news lately of gay teens been bullied in school to a point where they feel they just can't take anymore – to a point where they take their own life. It's so sad. If only we could tell them to hold on, to let them know that it gets better and life after high school is really where your life begins.
The writers/cast of this site are gay, and we've all gone through the sometimes troubling times of high school, so we were very eager to share our stories and contribute to the "It Gets Better" campaign. Because it does. It gets so much better.
If you're being bullied in school, you're not alone. There is someone here for you – someone who cares and understands. Call The Trevor Project, a confidential, toll-free, suicide hotline for gay & questioning youth. It gets better!
Listen to Homorazzi cast members tell you how & why it gets better after the jump
You voted Canada and you have selected your favorites to be your Top 10! Now, this Wednesday, the competition heats up as your votes alone decide who continues on and will become Canada's favorite dancer! I am very excited for this seasons final 10 dancers. I believe that these dancers have the potential to have great careers beyond this show and have what it takes to be quite successful. Every time we hit the Top 10, the dancers get a small makeover and get a brand new photo shoot of their own and after all this hard work, I think they deserve it. Below are all the new photos along with what being in the Top 10 means to them. Take a look and tell me who YOU think will be this years winner! I have included my predictions in as well.
This past weekend, I got a chance to meet and sit down with World renowned DJ, Dave Audé. Before his set at Vancouver's Five Sixty club for the Big Roger Events Production, I chatted with him about his early beginnings, recent work and what living life in LA's shadow is like. I must say that Dave was one of the easiest guys to talk to. He's so down-to-earth and laid back. It was great to learn more about the man behind the music.
Dave is responsible for 42+ dance remix tracks to hit #1 on the Billboard charts. From Ke$ha, to Lady Gaga to The Pussycat Dolls, Dave's unique style is the formula to his success. In my interview, he explains that when working on a track, its not a Dave Audé song. He likes to keep the track intact as much as possible and let the remix compliment the song instead. You may also recognize Dave from another venue…
Its Week 3 and our couples are back for Story Night where they must tell a story through their routines. After Michael Bolton's train wreck Jive and ejection from the show, will the stars will step it up even more to win your votes? This challenge began last season and the use of props is encouraged meaning the routines will be more expressive and elaborate. We take a quick look at the couples preparing their stories and my my, do they look interesting. Last season if you remember, this challenge brought us Kate Gosselin's ever famous Paparazzi routine. Oh man. Lets hope we have some better results this time around.
We kick off the evening with a story telling dance from the pros. The three couples sweep the floor so gracefully telling the story of love and romance. The girls tear off their long skirts and start their sexy Latin routine. Pieces like this make me appreciate ballroom dancing so much. The commitment, the passion and the technique is astonishing. Wow.
SONG: "A Little Respect" by Erasure
Our first Samba is with Jennifer and Derek. After we recap her Jive from last week, we are reminded of her visit to the top of the leader board for the second time. Jennifer and Derek start their story of Jennifer playing teacher and Derek playing student. Sounds super sexy. Derek is challenging Jennifer and decides to put the hardest step in the routine… The Samba Roll. Jennifer gets frustrated but the want to be on top keeps her working hard. The piece starts with Ms. Gray at the chalkboard and she comes down to meet Derek at the desk. Jennifer strips down to sexy teacher and Derek and her sweep the floor with their routine. I feel their connection isn't as strong this week. The routine doesn't feel as solid as her ones previous. Len loves that the couple carried the storyline all the way through the piece but notices the routine wasn't as clean. Bruno calls Jennifer a Cougar. He also mentions the snafu in the middle of the routine with the Samba roll. Carie Ann also notices the routine wasn't as clean as usual but loved the story and choreography. In the sky box, Brooke asks Jennifer how she felt about the challenge. She was pleased and they both had fun.
The scores: CA: 8 LG: 8 BT: 8
Same as last week. I think a 7 in there wouldn't have killed the buzz but overall a good routine. Once again, I think Jennifer has no worries of being in the bottom or even in danger.

Sallie Ford & The Sound OutsideView In iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Combining elements of jazz, R&B, and rock & roll -- all during the early stages of their development -- and fusing it with a contemporary energy and swagger, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside are a Portland, Oregon-based quartet who've earned an impressive following in their hometown and made some influential fans, including the Avett Brothers, who've championed the combo and taken them on the road with them. Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Sallie Ford was raised in Asheville, North Carolina and came from a creative family; her father Hobey Ford is a celebrated puppet artist and her mother is a music teacher. While Sallie learned to play guitar and violin as a child, and enjoyed singing as a teenager, she found herself intimidated by the artistic path followed by her parents and siblings (both of whom were involved in the performing arts), and has described herself as "the weird one" in the family. That changed when Ford moved to Portland in 2006 after dropping out of college; influenced by Cat Power, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Tom Waits, Ford developed greater confidence in her vocal abilities and began appearing at open-mike nights at local clubs. In 2008, she crossed paths with bassist Tyler Tornfelt and drummer Ford Tennis, two friends from Alaska who had been making music together for years and had recently relocated to Portland. Ford discovered she was simpatico with Tornfelt and Tennis, and they began performing together as a trio; when guitarist Jeffrey Munger heard them while playing for change on the street, he liked what he heard and soon volunteered his services, and Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside's lineup was complete. Later in 2008, the combo self-released an EP, Not an Animal, and word of mouth and positive press helped to make them a top attraction in the Pacific Northwest. When a friend of the band told Seth Avett of the Avett Brothers to give Ford & the Sound Outside a listen, he did and liked what he heard, inviting them to open for the Avetts for a string of West Coast dates, further spreading the word about the act. In 2010, Partisan Records struck a deal with the band, and Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside's first full-length album, Dirty Radio, was released in May 2011. A second full-length, Untamed Beast, produced by Adam Landry and Justin Collins of Deer Tick, followed early in 2013, and the group toured heavily in support, including spots at Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot, and the Newport Folk Festival, as well as a jaunt through Europe. Ford and her group closed out 2013 with the release of another EP, ironically titled Summer. ~ Mark Deming

California's trial courts received a bit of good news Tuesday as Gov. Jerry Brown proposed increasing their funding augmentation from $100 million to $160 million in his revised state budget.
The proposed increase is part of a two-year strategy to stabilize trial court funding.
"I think what this May revise indicates is that the governor recognizes that it's important to provide additional funding to the courts," said Richard Huver, president-elect of the San Diego County Bar Association and co-chair of its court funding action committee.
"It's the beginning of a process of reinvestment in our courts, and it's an encouraging first step in that process, which will be ongoing."
The latest budget proposes $42.8 million to help cover increased employee benefit costs, including retirement, health care and retiree health care.
The May revision also proposes $86.3 million to meet court workload obligations -- an amount equal to 5 percent of the trial court support appropriation. The administration intends to propose an additional 5 percent increase for the 2015-16 fiscal year.
Additionally, Gov. Brown's proposal allows the state to provide money from the general fund to cover a projected shortfall in the collection of fee revenues. The Department of Finance estimates this revenue shortfall could be as much as $30.9 million.
State Bar of California President Luis J. Rodriguez praised Gov. Brown for boosting state court funding even more than previously promised, and for two years.
"With this latest funding proposal for the courts, Gov. Brown has shown that he is committed to access to justice," Rodriguez said in a statement. "We are also deeply committed to the chief justice's ongoing efforts to increase access to justice, as she continues her efforts to find more efficient ways to deliver justice to California's population."
While the latest budget is an improvement, Huver said the local San Diego County contingent will keep pressing for increased funding to help the courts recover from the $1.2 billion it had cut since 2007.
"We will continue to remind [legislators] of the importance of a fully funded judicial branch, the important role the courts play in society, and how underfunding the courts negatively impacts businesses and the citizens they serve," he said.

Wandrian Adventures provides extraordinary adventures and bespoke journeys that are culturally and environmentally sustainable. Wandrian allows discerning travelers to experience a flavor of adventure, connect with local communities and individuals, learn about cultures, understand their local environment and help create a better understanding of sustainable travel. Our guides are top notch in the industry and our group size is usually limited to 10 on most trips. We have aligned ourselves with partners and suppliers who have very specific knowledge, education and experience. They have been hand selected to fit our specific destinations, activities and sustainability, as well as, importantly, our safety standards.
Our clients want to have an authentic experience and get to know the real land and people that they visit, not pass through on a carefully constructed photo-op. We attract travelers that are looking for an intimate encounter, are willing to forgo some creature comforts for an up-close experience that they cant get with anyone but Wandrian. 95% of our adventures are specific only to Wandrian travelers.
Because our clients are citizens of the world, they respect the ecosystems and cultures that we visit and are willing to go the extra mile to make sure that their fun has a positive impact on the world.
At Wandrian Adventures, we believe in adventure! And we know that part of believing in adventure is preserving the ecosystems and the cultures that make those adventures possible. As travelers, we can have a profound impact on our fellow citizens of the world and we believe it's vital to ensure that our impact is a positive one. Keeping that in mind, we strive to walk lightly upon the Earth and take measures to reduce our "travel footprint" as much as possible.
In addition, Wandrian Adventures has partnered with 1% for the Planet, which means One percent of our gross profits (not net) go to companies that support the environment. It's just one part of our efforts to alleviate the stresses that travel puts on our world.
We also work hard to respect the cultures that we visit, with our own brand of thoughtful tourism. As part of that initiative, we keep money in the areas we visit by hiring local guides and buying from local vendors. Where possible, we support businesses run by women or minorities, to help empower those who might ordinarily be marginalized by regular mass-market tourism.
Wandrian Adventures Adventeers take it one step further and directly help the local communities that they visit with hands-on assistance. For example, Adventeers might build a school, repair local infrastructure, or plant trees to heal a deforested ecosystem.
We have a company that provides adventures for all; a company that is focused on sustainable tourism and positive values and know that the ecosystems and cultures we visit can continue to be enjoyed by all.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's new central bank chief Karnit Flug told her country on Wednesday it needs to reduce bureaucracy, become more productive and encourage a more diverse workforce.
Flug, 58, has been acting governor since her predecessor Stanley Fischer stepped down in June. She had served as the Bank of Israel's deputy governor for 5-1/2 years.
Speaking at a ceremony in Jerusalem where President Shimon Peres appointed her formally to the role, Flug said she would stick to established policies of keeping annual inflation between 1 to 3 percent, supporting economic growth and keeping the financial system stable.
But she said Israeli workers were less productive than those in most advanced economies and the state should do more to encourage sectors with low employment - a reference to Arab women and ultra-Orthodox men - to join the workforce.
"We must find the way to increase the attractiveness of investment in the economy and to increase capital stock, to improve the competitive environment in which the business sector operates, and to reduce the bureaucratic burden," she said.
"The expected demographic trends do not support a high rate of growth in the coming years, and we will need to act to offset the effects on growth of those trends in order to continue to grow at a satisfactory rate," Flug added.
The economy is set to grow 3.6 percent in 2013, with the central bank forecasting 3.4 percent growth in 2014.
The Israeli government chose Flug - the first woman to head the central bank - last month and appointed her on October 27 at the end of a rocky nomination process.
Under her leadership, the monetary policy committee (MPC) lowered short-term rates by a quarter point in a surprise move in September to try to halt the shekel appreciation that was harming the export-dependent economy.
The next rate decision is on November 25.
Flug also called on Wednesday for a financial stability committee where the three main regulators - the Bank of Israel, the Finance Ministry and the Israel Securities Authority - share information to "significantly reduce the probability of a threat to the financial stability in Israel's economy in the future."
For the text of Flug's speech, see: http://www.boi.org.il/e http://www.boi.org.il/en/NewsAndPublications/PressReleases/P http://http://www.boi.org.il/en/NewsAndPublications/PressReleases/Pages/... www.boi.org.il/en/NewsAndPublications/PressReleases/Pages/13-11-2013-Gov...
