When Gilles Vigneault, Quebec singer and folk hero, wrote "mon pays ... c'est l'hiver," he wasn't kidding.
It was the revolutionary 1960s, and Vigneault linked Quebecers' identity, resilience and pride to the rugged, raw climate in which they live.
It is a profound image. But winter's bracing air and heavy snowfall also define the province's playtime. Festivals, sugaring off, après-ski and outdoor hot tubs — as long as there is a fireplace in the future, Quebecers are pumped.
Did Vigneault mention that the mercury often dips below -30 C? Pas de problème. The colder it gets, the better it is for such thrilling escapades as dogsledding and kite-skiing on frozen lakes. Not to mention glacial gourmandises, such as ice apple cider and maple taffy on snow.
Here are some of the most wondrous winter experiences chez nous. Regrets, Montreal, we're hitting the road.
Celebrate: An enduring symbol of Quebec and one of the province's most raucous parties, the Carnaval de Québec will shake the capital with a day-and-night extravaganza Jan. 31 to Feb. 16. The festivities will rock our precious, 406-year-old capital from the cobblestone streets of the Old Port to the majestic Plains of Abraham. Don a red tuque and enjoy dance parties in the Ice Palace, concerts, ice sculpture, snow baths and the Ice Canoe Race, the famed and treacherous competition across the St. Lawrence River. Bonhomme Carnaval will be there, and for more girl power, the Carnaval duchesses are returning this year.
Cuddle: The coolest lodging in Quebec is the Hôtel de Glace, a mighty and innovative engineering feat entirely constructed of tons of ice and snow. Invite someone you love because you'll be cuddling in frosty temps between -3 C and -5 C throughout the 44 guest rooms, the Ice Bar, the Grand Hall and the Chapel. On the warm front, there are thermal sleeping bags, four hot tubs, a sauna and heated loos next door.
Trek: The spectacular Parc national des Monts-Valin in the Saguenay region is a winter-white paradise of snowshoeing and back-country skiing that receives up to seven metres of powder annually. A shuttle runs from the Discovery and Visitors' Centre to the base of an enchanting forest, the Vallée des fantômes, named for the ghostly shapes of snow sculpted by the wind on the boughs of trees. Then, outdoor lovers trek three snowy kilometres to the lofty mountain lookout, Pic-de-la-Hutte. Strenuous, but the workout is good training for the taxing Tour du Mont-Valin, an international rally to be held March 15.
Feast: More gourmand than gourmet, and more rustic than refined, Au Petit Poucet in Val-David has been dishing out traditional Québécois cuisine for nearly 70 years. The wood-beamed restaurant sells thousands of tourtières a year, plus baked beans, pea soup, cretons, maple-smoked ham and the homespun stew, ragoût de boulettes et pattes de cochon. Old-time skiers say the sinfully rich sugar pie is an antidote to cold climes. Lineups are common on weekends for the Ogre's Breakfast, which is served until closing at 4 p.m.
Represent: The Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau is showcasing 250 artifacts that portray how the drama of winter has shaped our nation's identity. Titled Snow, it's a cultural history that starts with survival techniques of aboriginal peoples and European pioneers, then progresses to depict snow as a forum for sports, an artistic muse and an economic driver. Snow, the show, runs until Sept. 28,
Party: Ski Bromont sparkles with the largest terrain in North America lit for night skiing and snowboarding when the snow is lighter and the air is warmer, or it feels that way. The ultimate after-dark experiences are Ski Bromont's Nuits Blanches, when the lifts run until 2 a.m. for skiing, riding, plus snow-cross competitions and freestyle coaching. The après-ski bar dances until 3 a.m., with prizes, live music and a heady coffee spiked with Coureur des Bois, a maple cream liqueur blended at nearby Domaine Pinnacle.
Adventure: You can channel your inner coureur des bois at Kinadapt near Rawdon. Kinesiologist Peter Boutin, psycho-educator Carole Turcotte and their 60 huskies have merged skills and passions to create an exceptional adventure playground with customized dogsledding for all. Nimble athletes rocket their dog teams through the woods at a breathtaking 35 or 45 km/h. Physically challenged sportsmen promenade leisurely with a guide. You can intensify the pioneering New France spirit if you sleep overnight in a prospector's tent in the snowy woods, with a catered dinner of bison steaks, foie gras and Lanaudière wine and cheese. Just like the 1600s. But better.
Chill: With more than 40 exhilarating Nordic spas throughout the province, Quebecers are hooked on thermotherapy. We want to purify our bodies and stimulate our circulation, so we'll strip down to swimsuits in the middle of winter, frolic around snowbanks and pop in and out of hot chambers and cold baths. Station Blü-bains nordiques is a splendid spa in a vast near-wilderness of mountains and forests just north of Beaupré. You'll feel bouncy and brisk after a slow bake in a 100 C sauna, a fleeting dip in the frigid -5 C Rivière Lombrette and a soak in the bubbling hot tub, where you'll poach at about 38 C, along with 60 of your new best friends.

What kind of leader do you want?
What kind of people do we want in government?
How about smart people? Smart can be misleading though when words used to define it include: clever, sly, superficially skillful, cunning and guile.
Perhaps people with intelligence then? Even intelligence is lacking when not combined with common sense. Why the negative attitude? To quote Bastiat, people "When they can...wish to live and prosper at the expense of others." "The annals of history bear witness to the truth of it: the incessant wars, mass migrations, religious persecutions, universal slavery, dishonesty in commerce, and monopolies. This fatal desire has its origin in the very nature of man—in that primitive, universal, and insuppressible instinct that impels him to satisfy his desires with the least possible pain."
That's no small indictment and it may be unfair to claim it all-inclusive of our government representatives. Nonetheless, these are people whose favorite word is "comprehensive."
Going back to intelligence and its definitions, do you think having the "capacity for learning" accurately describes our government officials? I think Einstein's definition of insanity is more telling. How about aptitude in grasping truths? The fact that we have a federal Department of Education run by liberals makes that much less likely. Can a person really be intelligent if everything they know is wrong?
President Barack Obama's upbringing, socialist mentoring and the finest liberal education that affirmative action can give away, makes a good case study. As president, he has not deviated from his plan to fundamentally transform the United States (lawfully and unlawfully) and won't consider alternative thought. This flies in the face of intelligence as "the capacity for understanding."
Except for one person on the planet, there is the understanding that there can always be someone more intelligent than you. The ideology of the left (the end justifies the means) prevents them from taking your desires into account. That is the antithesis of representative government.
It is easier to see what kind of people we "do not" want in government, but this realization mostly comes too late. It has taken five years for polls and talk in the media to acknowledge Obama's total lack of trustworthiness. I thought that was exemplified when he agreed with John McCain to take public financing for his presidential campaign and then reneged on the deal.
Winner of this year's prize for "leftist education turned trickle-down stupidity" goes to Nichols Elementary School in Frisco, TX. They banned Christmas trees and the colors red and green from an upcoming "winter" party. The principal said they didn't want to offend any families. LOL.
This idiocy doesn't offend me. It amazes me. There are public school officials so adamant about anti-Christmas indoctrination that they won't allow children to look at certain colors? All I can say to them is, wow! And good luck Frisco.
To everyone else Happy Holidays and, of course, Merry Christmas.

In the same point of view than the one of this thread. I thought about how viewing the General Chit Chat (and others forums like Cosmos where I confess I haven't gone since it had been removed from the main page) without losing the technical major aspect of AO the new staff want.
I think that bringing back AO in a security aspect is a good think, but I think the decision was maybe too hard. AOers need also to speak about something else than security without limitations.
That's why I posted this little suggestion:
As I guess it would be difficult to let everybody customise its own front page (and this even with a limitation, selecting some menbers (after a certain number of posts)). So I suggest to install a little "box" (like the one which contains the classic "active in AO forums" lasts threads/posts) at the bottom of the front page containing the 5-6 last "useless" threads/posts (from the general Chit Chat...). This box would be less important than the classic one and members/visitors will view useless threads less often than serious threads. But members will be able to keep an eye on what happens everywhere on AO from the front page, like before.
I know this solution can be *easily* implemented because JP used it with the news section during one month or two.
Your opinions?

This article comes from AsphaltandRubber.com
You may remember from this weekend's World Superbike race at Monza that Noriyuki Haga had a bit of a run in with a flock of pigeons during Race 2, causing him to drop to 15th place by the time he crossed the finish line. In response to his avian encounter, the Japanese rider has updated his site with a humorous anti-pigeon campaign banner.
Haga doesn't have to look far for supporters, as American Ben Spies is a likely candidate to join the club as well. The Texan also had tête-à-tête with a*pigeon*while lapping around the Italian track this last weekend, but was able to overcome it. Haga leads Spies in the WSBK series by 54 points.

The January 2014 monthly director's meeting will not be held on the first Tuesday this month, it will be held at the conclusion of the fur sale on, Saturday, January 18th at the Belknap County Sportsmen's Club.
NHTA President Jack Yazinski brought pizza and salads to the December 3rd director's meeting and National Wildlife Federation representative and old friend Eric Orff picked up the tab. Eric was on hand to inform the association about the current effort by NWF to alert our senators and representatives about the effect of global warming on our native furbearers here in NH. Members were asked to sign a postcard supporting additional efforts to reduce carbon emissions and acid rain.
The annual NH Trappers Association Fur Sale will be held Saturday, January 18th, 2014. The fur sale will be held this year again at the Belknap County Sportsmen's Club in Gilford on Lilly Pond Rd (Rt11C). Doors open at 7 am. The auctioneer will receive lots as they come in and separate them into a few groups so the buyers will have a chance to view each individual lot. The early lots will be auctioned at 9 am and lots arriving later will be viewed and auctioned in a second round. We hope to have them all offered and cleaned up by noon. Don't be late! There is a 4% fee for members and a 10% fee for non-members selling furs. This fee will be waived if a fisher skin is donated. If you choose to not sell your fur, there is no fee. Our membership director will be on hand if you would like to join the day of the event and save yourself the 6% difference.
Fisher season runs through December 31st here in NH; please keep the association in mind, as we are in need of about 30 donated fisher skins each year to keep our commitment to provide a jacket to the newly crowned Miss NH.

FAO staff in Senegal committed to Results-Based Approach to their work
2 November 2013, Dakar, Senegal - FAO Director-General met with staff members from the FAO Representation in Senegal and the Subregional Emergency and Rehabilitation Office, both based in Dakar.
FAO Representative Vincent Martin welcomed Graziano da Silva to Senegal, saying that the visit helped reaffirm FAO support to the government, as well as to civil society and the private sector.
Graziano da Silva also had a meeting with the United Nations System coordination team and some partner organizations in Senegal to discuss the issue of food security and nutrition. According to the FAO team in Senegal, these meetings and consultations should lead to future actions with national and regional partners.
The Director-General underlined the importance of the new FAO strategy based on five Strategic Objectives and deployed in Senegal through the new Country Programming Framework (CPF).
Staff members welcomed priorityactions set forth in the CPF as well as FAO's renewed vision, the result of new momentum gained since Graziano da Silva took office. They added that the ongoing decentralization process has led the Organization to improve its efficiency in the field and should be supported and enhanced.
They reaffirmed their commitment to pursue a Results-Based Approach to their work, being aware that it ensures a major impact of FAO activities.
Staff members presented gifts to the Director-General as keepsakes of his trip to Senegal. They expressed their appreciation for his attention and desire to exchange views with them.

Time for tough economic choices
THE LONG-TERM unemployment rate is at a record level. So is the federal deficit. Both of these are serious concerns. But it is possible -- in theory, anyway -- for Congress to be both compassionate and prudent. In the short term, lawmakers should resolve the logjam that has allowed federal benefits to lapse for more than 900,000 unemployed. In the longer term, they should heed the example of House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), who gave a brave speech this week not only setting out the fiscal challenge but offering specific, credible suggestions for savings.
But first, the immediate crisis. More than 40 percent of the unemployed have been without work for six months. More alarming, nearly one-fourth have been jobless for a year or longer, according to calculations by the Pew Fiscal Analysis Initiative. Generally, states pay for the first 26 weeks of unemployment benefits; in periods of high unemployment, the federal government steps in to cover additional weeks. During the current recession, benefits can last up to 99 weeks.
On June 1, that emergency federal program expired, and the Senate has been unable to muster the 60 votes needed to reinstate it, as part of a package that would also include extending some expiring tax cuts and providing extra Medicaid money to cash-strapped states. Without congressional action, more than 2 million of the unemployed will have lost benefits by July 10, some after just 26 weeks. In theory, making unemployment insurance available for longer periods reduces incentives to find work. In the brutal current reality of 9.7 percent unemployment, the risk of subsidized loafing -- the average benefit is $309 a week -- is far less than the risk of real suffering. The cost of extending the program through Nov. 30 would be about $35 billion.
Part of what's holding up Senate action is a dispute over whether lawmakers have gone too far -- too far! -- in closing tax loopholes for the wealthy to help pay for the package. One involves "carried interest," the mechanism that investment bankers and venture capitalists use to pay lower tax rates on their income from doing deals. Doing away with this tax dodge would have raised $24 billion over 10 years; that has now been whittled down to $13 billion. The same is happening with an effort to close the so-called John Edwards loophole, under which small partnerships such as law firms avoid paying Medicare payroll taxes by casting their income as profits rather than salary. Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), a key potential vote, has called this provision "a poison pill."
Amazingly, while senators work to keep these loopholes open, they are trying to trim the final cost of the package by cutting close to $8 billion in future food stamp benefits. What kind of priorities does this choice reflect?
Speaking of priorities, Mr. Hoyer's speech, to the centrist group Third Way, offered an all-too-rare moment of wisdom -- and courage -- in the clamorous fiscal debate. Mr. Hoyer was responding, in part, to our challenge earlier this month to policymakers pressing for additional spending to combat the effects of the recession: "We'd find the stimulus-now, spinach-later argument more credible if its advocates gave some hint of where the long-term belt-tightening will take place."
Mr. Hoyer complied -- and in the course of doing so at least brushed against several political third rails of the left and right. He said -- correctly but controversially -- that lawmakers should consider raising the retirement age and making Social Security and Medicare more progressive. (Translation: lower benefits for wealthier seniors.)
And he said -- again correctly but even more controversially -- that, with the Bush tax cuts expiring this year, "we need to have a serious discussion about their implications for our fiscal outlook, including whether we can afford to permanently extend them before we have a real plan for long-term deficit reduction." This is more than President Obama has managed to choke out. But it also had the predictable effect: Conservatives denounced the majority leader for plotting to raise taxes on the middle class.
Mr. Hoyer ended with a plea that both sides take off their ideological blinders to deal with the daunting fiscal reality: "There are two clocks: one of them is counting down the time to our debt crisis; the other can wake us up to see our situation as it is, not as we want it to be, or as our ideologies say it should be. And the kind of country our children will live in -- growing or stagnant, on the rise or in decline -- depends on which clock goes off first.
"We can keep making easy choices and hoping that the crisis clock just keeps ticking. But sooner or later, if that's what we choose, there will be a time when we find that we have hardly any choices left at all." He's right. Is anyone listening?

Valve Clinic Helps Patients with Complex valve disease
More than five million Americans suffer from valve disease, such as aortic stenosis and mitral disorders, and many do not even know it. Even with no outward signs of problems, valve disease can develop and worsen over time, just like coronary artery disease. Left untreated, it can lead to heart failure and other complications, including death.
Sarasota Memorial's Valve Clinic provides a nationally recognized team of cardiovascular specialists to evaluate, support and manage the care of patients with complex valve disorders, especially those who may not be candidates for surgery due to age or other medical conditions.
Some of the conditions frequently addressed include:
Collaborative Care
Our multi-disciplinary approach combines the collaborative efforts of referring primary care physicians, cardiologists, interventionalists and cardiac and thoracic surgeons to provide focused assessments and the latest, safest treatment options, including Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). Sarasota Memorial and its Valve Clinic team was one of the first sites approved in southwest Florida to offer TAVR, which allows doctors to replace a diseased valve without opening the chest.
The Valve Clinic team provides:
Valve Conference
Complex clinical cases are presented for group discussion at a bi-monthly Valve Conference. Conference participants include a multi-disciplinary team of cardiovascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, primary cardiologists and imaging specialists who address diagnostic challenges and strategies, treatment options and potential surgical interventions.
Clinical Trials
At any given time, Sarasota Memorial participates in a number of cardiac-related clinical trials, including the latest . Call (941) 917-2225 for information.
Valve Clinic
Location: Sarasota Memorial Heart & Vascular Services
1540 S. Tamiami Trail, 2nd floor.

Internship FAQ
What is an internship?
An intentional supervised learning experience in which the ultimate goals is to increase a student's knowledge and sharpen skills within a work or services environment. Internships vary in length from a few weeks to up to a year. Internships can be a very structured learning experience or they can be designed to meet the expectations of the student. They can be found in government, industry, professional, corporate and non-profit settings. Internships can be done locally, out-of-state, and even internationally. They can be part-time or full-time, paid or unpaid, and some can be taken for academic credit. Internships can be done during the academic year or during the summer break. The one thing all good internship opportunities have in common is they provide students with career-related work experience.
Why should I do an internship?
Internships help you by identifying your interests, strengths, and areas you need to improve upon. The value of an internship often extends beyond career exploration; a good experience can have a significant impact on your personal growth by developing your intellectual, interpersonal, and leadership qualities. It can also enhance your awareness and appreciation of ethical dilemmas, the importance of diversity, and civic and social responsibility.
Internships provide the experience and skills necessary to prepare students for today's job market. Employers' number two criteria when interviewing potential candidates for employment is related work experience. Internship experiences allow students to demonstrate how and where they have developed their transferable skills. Often internships can lead to full time positions with an organization.
Don't forget about the valuable contacts you're making. Networking is an essential part of the job search process and who better to ask for a reference or contact than someone who knows your work style and habits? Getting to know people working in the career field your interested in is easier when your working side-by-side with them. In today's job market, who you know can be just as crucial as what you know and even more critical to specific "hard to break into" industries. Internships can be your ticket through the door.
When should I do an internship?
Where do I start?
Students should talk to their faculty advisors about internship intentions and possible contacts in their field.

DALLAS (AP) — A pickup truck that a 17-year-old Oklahoma boy stole from his parents' home along with guns and ammunition was found Wednesday at a deadly robbery scene in Texas, authorities said.
Two male suspects are dead after the failed home robbery, according to a statement from the Ellis County Sheriff's Office in North Texas. Their names weren't immediately released, pending notification of relatives. Investigators also were awaiting autopsies.
The incident happened around noon Wednesday at a rural home near the town of Maypearl, 35 miles southwest of Dallas. A woman was alone at the house when she heard someone trying to turn the back doorknob. She looked out a window and saw a male armed with a gun and dressed in camouflage, the sheriff's office said.
The woman called her husband, who was nearby and arrived at the house within minutes. He spotted the suspects, yelled at them and then got a gun.
The suspects darted from behind the house and toward a field, firing at the home as they ran. The man shot back and is believed to have hit one of the suspects, the sheriff's office said.
The woman called 911 to tell authorities about the burglary and that shots had been fired.
Deputies arrived and began a search. They found one of the suspects dead in the nearby field. He had been shot several times, but is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff's office said.
The other suspect was inside the stolen pickup truck, also dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff's office said.
Ellis County sheriff's spokeswoman JoAnn Livingston told The Associated Press that investigators were able to confirm through the license plates on the truck that it was the same vehicle stolen in Oklahoma.
The bodies were taken to the medical examiner's office in nearby Dallas County for identification. The man at the home, who shot at the suspects after his wife called him, was treated at the scene for a minor injury from the shooting. Authorities did not release his or his wife's names.
Sheriff's investigators in Oklahoma said Kenneth Chaffin, 17, stole the red 1991 Ford Ranger pickup truck Monday from his parents' home in Bethel Acres, Okla., about 30 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.
Pottawatomie County, Okla., Undersheriff Travis Palmer said the teen also is believed to have taken 17 guns, up to 2,000 rounds of ammunition and prescription drugs from the parents' home. Nine handguns were taken along with six rifles and two shotguns, Palmer said.
Oklahoma authorities had alerted national law enforcement to be on the lookout for Chaffin and to approach the teen with caution.
Associated Press writers Justin Juozapavicius in Tulsa, Okla., and Ken Miller in Oklahoma City contributed to this report.

Written by Neil A. Davis Thursday, 09 August 2012 14:30
I would like to move past Joe Knoedler's statement (02-22-12) that President Obama "...sounds like someone who understands the middle class..." The problem is, Obama says something almost everyday that proves Knoedler's statement to be utter nonsense. Whenever the community organizer gets in front of a crowd of drooling sycophants and goes off teleprompter (TOTUS), we find out what he really thinks.
In Roanoke, VA, speaking about how nothing can be achieved without government, he said "If you've got a business--you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
Outraged business owners nationwide expressed their displeasure with his statement. His understanding seems to be somewhat lacking for "middle class" job creators. I am not surprised by what he said.
After observing Obama for years, I follow three rules. If he speaks out against something others are doing, he is doing it himself. If he proposes something I disagree with, take it to the bank. If he says something I agree with, he is lying. This works virtually without fail.
When Republicans came out with ads highlighting what he said, he replied with the same lame claim that he was taken out of context. However, if you read/listen to all of what he said, the "context" just makes it worse.
Now he's on a "I love the middle class" tour, burning up millions of tax dollars for jet fuel on the way to his next fundraiser. At over 185 events (the combined total of five previous presidents), some are saying "... he is far more dedicated to raising money and winning re-election than to performing the actual job for which he was elected..."
Now is the time he'll begin his move to the right (as in 2008) to make voters believe as he says "...I would wake up every single morning..." (at 10 a.m.) "... thinking about you and fighting as hard as I knew how to make your life a little bit better."
Never mind the fact that he and his party have driven us into such massive debt, we may never recover. Because Obama has no economic accomplishments he can run on, he is pointing to the days of Clinton (turning deficits into surplus). Referring to them as "my theories" and "our plan."
I am all in favor of returning to that. After two years of failing Democrat policies, Clinton began adopting Republican ideas to cut spending and deficits, cut taxes (capital gains, fueling an investment and stock market boom), deregulation (stimulating innovation and competition) and welfare reform that Clinton said would "...break the cycle of dependency that has existed for millions..." How can Obama claim that he wants to return to that when he opposes every single one of those points?
If re-elected he can go back to being the most divisive, anti-sovereignty, anti-gun rights, anti-free speech and religion, big government, wealth re-distributing, partisan hack ever elected president. At the same time showing his understanding for the middle class of course.

Delaware, District Of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia
Denominational Groups, 2000
|Evangelical Protestant
|Mainline Protestant
Congregational "adherents" include all full members, their children, and others who regularly attend services. The historically African American denominations are not included in the 2000 congregation and membership totals. Many are also missing in 1990 and most historically African American denominations are missing in the 1980 reports.
- 2000 Report
- 1990 Report
- 1980 Report
The population of these counties (or equivalents) in 1990 was 43,566,853; in 2000 it was 51,769,160. The total population changed 18.8%. The unadjusted adherent totals of the religious groups listed above (22,423,937) include 43.3% of the total population in 2000. The adjusted total adherents (29,621,725) include 57.2% of the population.
*The Unadjusted Totals come from the 1990 and 2000 data collected by representatives of the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies (ASARB). While quite comprehensive, this data excludes most of the historically African-American denominations and some other major groups. As a result, these numbers will be an underestimate of the total adherence rate, particularly in areas with a large African-American population. The 2000 data included 149 religious groups and the final results are published in Religious Congregations and Membership in the United States 2000. Copyright © 2002, All rights reserved. The 1990 data included 132 groups and the final results are published in Churches and Church Membership in the United States 1990 Copyright © 1990, All rights reserved. Published by Glenmary Research Center, 1312 Fifth Ave., North, Nashville, TN 37208. www.glenmary.org [More information on the data collection]
**The Adjusted Totals include all adherents in the denominations counted by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies (ASARB) and estimates adherent totals for the historically African-American denominations and other religious groups not listed in the ASARB totals. An article by Roger Finke and Christopher P. Scheitle (2005) reviews how these estimates were computed.
†The adherence rate provides the number of adherents of a particular group per 1,000 population. For example, in 2000 the Episcopal Church had an adherence rate of approximately 8 (8.1) in Autauga County, Alabama. This means that 8 out of every 1,000 people in Autauga County are Episcopalian.

CIU Alumna Wins Grammy Award
Christian singer/songwriter Laura Story, a 2003 graduate of Columbia International University, earned a Grammy for her song "Blessings," which she wrote and recorded. Story received the award in the Best Contemporary Christian Song category during the afternoon ceremonies at The 54th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 12 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Story, a native of Spartanburg, S.C. told the Spartanburg Herald-Journal that she was "just so shocked" after walking the red carpet with her husband Martin Elvington to receive the honor.
"Blessings" was written after Martin developed a brain tumor in 2006. Story says the song is a reminder that God remains faithful even when He doesn't answer our prayers the way we want Him to. She says that's why there are a lot of "what ifs" in the chorus of the song:
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?
Laura Story talks more about the song "Blessings" in a video at her website:

Meanwhile, more congratulations are in order for Martin and Laura. They are expecting their first child.

Print Awareness
Children who have an awareness of print understand that the squiggly lines on a page represent spoken language. They understand that when adults read a book, what they say is linked to the words on the page, rather than to the pictures.
Children with print awareness understand that print has different functions depending on the context in which it appears — for example, menus list food choices, a book tells a story, a sign can announce a favorite restaurant or warn of danger. Print awareness is understanding that print is organized in a particular way — for example, knowing that print is read from left to right and top to bottom. It is knowing that words consist of letters and that spaces appear between words. Print awareness is a child's earliest introduction to literacy.
To help build print awareness skills at home, see our Top Print Awareness Apps >

Vanity Fair has a recent article out that, quite frankly, angers me. I've always read – and loved – Vanity Fair. I loved everything from the ads to the articles. But I can't explain how angry I was when I read the latest article from writer A.A. Gill.
Read it. If you live in Cincinnati, tell me you weren't angered by the time you got to paragraph 2. Or here – let me help:
It's not in the nature of stoic Cincinnatians to boast, which is fortunate, really, for they have meager pickings to boast about. They could, though, if they were the bragging sort, brag about a quaint old optician's shop that will make you a new pair of spectacles in an hour—by chance I am both shortsighted and had an hour to spare. As the nice lady gave my new lenses a polish, I asked her if she thought the eye was such a complicated and mysterious structure that it could have been created only in one inspired, farsighted moment by God and not by the blind trial and error of natural selection. "That kind of makes sense," she smiled. But then, Galileo invented a refracting telescope and the church locked him up for pointing out that, as he learned by observing the rest of the solar system, the earth isn't the center of the universe. Do you think that glasses might be the work of the Devil? She smiled again. "Would you like a hard or a soft case with that, sir?"
Here's the thing. I really don't take issue with his attitude towards the Creation Museum. I don't agree with the place and, in truth, am a little embarrassed that it's so close to our fair city (and my house, for that matter). But for the writer to take unwarranted pot shots at our city? Please.
From what I read in the article, my guess is that Mr. Gill got off his flight at CVG and never left Hebron. Now, Hebron is a nice little place (members of my family live there), but it's small, albeit growing. It is not, in any way, an impressive metropolis. It's a suburb. From there, Mr. Gill obviously drove out to Petersburg to see that museum, and that was the extent of his trip to Cincinnati.
Does he not realize that we are a gateway for all sorts of large companies, including Toyota and, of course, Procter & Gamble? That we host a tennis tournament every year? (A line from the article: Here in Nowheresville, Kentucky, tennis is considered a game for Europeans and other sexual deviants. I can't imagine what they think of English actors.) Does he know we have award-winning chefs and bring in top-notch shows every year? We are not Nowheresville. In fact, Cincinnati has done nothing but grow and grow – expanding over the river into Northern Kentucky and north to Mason and West Chester at a rapid rate. If people weren't coming here, we wouldn't be growing, so obviously there is something here to like.
Katy said it best over on her blog, with a brilliant retort of a blog post. But I just wanted to mention that I love this city – I write about the wine that is available in this city and the events in this city for winos like myself. With all that, I'm still ranked 10th on the list of Top 100 wine blogs. 10th. I guess there are a lot of people out there, both in our city and out, who want to read my regionally focused wine blog. In the process, they're learning all about Cincinnati, and Mr. Gill, they don't seem to mind. In fact, they keep coming back for more.
Personally, I'd love to have Mr. Gill come back and enjoy his time in the Queen City, much like the New York Times did last year. I think we might surprise him.

Indexes are a constant problem in understanding for beginners (and the "not so beginners") in the database world. And don't you just love the
hardcore mathematical explanation of B-Trees and their traversal. Personaly I much rather have visual props and a story to support an explanation.
Appealing visual props are even better. That's how this post originated. So let us begin!
Imagine you live in a pre-computer-in-every-nook-and-crane world (around 1960's :)).
You wake up one morning with a huge craving to read Agatha Christie's books. So you go to the library which has a few million books.
You walk up to the cute librarian (look left for the appealing visual prop :)) and ask her if she can show you to the Agatha Christie
books. She goes to the huge drawer (drawer #1) of little cards which hold just basic info about each book like ISBN number, author and
title and are sorted by ISBN number. She pulls out the first card, looks at its bookshelf id and takes you to the correct bookshelf.
You get your book and are on your merry way home. When you read your book you go back to the library, return
the books and ask the cute librarian (again look left for the appealing visual prop :)) to get you all the books by Agatha Christie written
in the 1951. This time she goes again to the huge drawer of little cards (drawer #2) but these are different than the previous ones. These hold the year of
publishing and the ISBN number of the book. She writes down the ISBN numbers of all books and goes back to the first huge drawer and
looks up cards that match ISBN numbers she found earlier. Again you get your books and are on your merry way home.
You read them return them, get some more books until you muster up the courage to ask the cute librarian out and you live happily ever after.
Nice story isn't it?
"So what the hell am i talking about?" you might ask. Well a library is a very good analogy for indexes. How? Let's review:
library = table
drawer with ISBN Number = Clustered index
drawer with year and ISBN Number = Non-Clustered index
cute librarian = a perk :)
So what you acctually did in this story is this:
You executed a query (i want some books with a condition) and a query processor (cute librarian) performed a Clustered index
seek on the first book hunt and a Non-Clustered index seek on the second book hunt.
It produced a shortest plan for the desired action (go to the bookshelf and return with the books) and it retured the desired data back (your books).
On both times she had to return a full row (a book) of data by locating it in the Clustered index (looking in the Drawer #1).
This operation is also known as a Bookmark Lookup and is the most expensive operation you can do with indexes short of index scan.
And how do those huge card drawers translate to clustered and non clustered index?
ISBN Number is the column on which the clustered index is defined. The books on the shelves are sorted accordingly. The bookshelf numbers
are pages of data in the table. The second drawer contains cards with year of publisihing and an ISBN Number. Year of publisihing is a Non-Clustrered index.
Each non-clustered index is connected to a Clustered index, thus the ISBN Number on the second drawer's cards.
You can see that as long as the ISBN Number is contained in the Clustered index the non clustered won't be changed.
This means that reindexing (not rebuilding) the Clustered Index won't rebuild the non clustered index as long as ISBN Number stays in
the Clustered Index.
But admit it! You don't care about indexes, you just care about the cute librarian :)

Wow thats def. rediculous! Thanks for spreading the word.ReplyDelete
Nothing like abusing a privilege. Give'em "hell".ReplyDelete
Ok,just a flipside here.
I live in the UK. I'm not a massive book blogger but the cost of going to an event like Bea for me would be prohibitive. But perhaps I really want to read and review a particular book on my blog for whatever reason. What's so bad about me buying this off ebay if I can? I'm still reviewing the book so it's serving it's purpose. Surely if I decide to pay for it, that's my descion. It certainly would cost less than travelling to US and staying in a hotel and the entrance fees to a huge expo like BEA for me.
Plus, the selling of ARC on ebay has been going on for longer than there have been book bloggers.
Maybe I'm jaded but I just can't seem to get that steamed about this.
Because somebody else is gaining money for something that they got for FREE, and something that authors and publishers worked their tails off on. If anybody is getting a profit from that book, it should be the author/publishers, not BEA attendees who took advantage of the ARCs.
This absolutely drives me crazy. It says right on the cover that it's not intended for sale. Grrr.
@Sherry and @Kay Thanks for stopping by :)
@Sayuri: First, I understand what you are saying. I personally look at it like the author is not getting paid their just dues for their work, the person selling it is circumventing the system and selling the books at an exorbitant price to make a profit but the author gets nothing and neither does the publishing company. The books say that they are not for sale on them and people should respect the wishes of the publisher when it is listed that way.
Do you contact the publisher for ARCs, do you ask fellow bloggers to borrow their ARCs? These seem like better, easier, and less expensive ways to get a desired book than buying on Ebay. You can always send a fellow blogger the money it would cost to ship it to you when they are finished with it, or swap a book for the ARC you want. This is just what I think, but I understand your opinion as well. Thank you for commenting.
I have to say, so new to blogging and with only one book review under my belt, I am stunned. Call it naive. This type of thing never crossed my mind. I was so honored to be sent an ARC. Whatever you need for support, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you for raising awareness.
@Katiedoll - If you got that arc at BEA then it wasn't free. Unless you live in NY there's travel to the venue, then accomodation and then entrence fees to the event. That's a lot of money. That's all I'm saying.
@Monica - I understand why you feel so passionatley about this, I just can't seem to get the same head of steam up. ARC's are promotional tools. ANd they aren't plentiful either. There are many reasons for people buying arc's.
They may be massive fans in which case they will more than likely buy the books again when they are released just to have them for thier collection. Can book bloggers say they same?
It could be that someone buys it for review purposes. Not everyone can get ARC's as they are a finite resource. Maybe they don't have other bloggers to ask for swappsies. Maybe it's for a book group?
I used to run a kids bookgroup when I worked for Borders, we had thirty members who would write reviews and we would display them on our review wall for other customers. It was an extremely popular feature in the kids dept and we sold a lot of books on the back of it. It was really difficult getting arcs for that to create some buzz for new books. Publishers may be really good at giving out ARC's for book blogs but for less traditional promotional avenues it's not so easy.
I guess what I am getting at is, that there are many different reasons behind buying ARCs and just because some buys (or sells) an arc, it doesn't make then the devil.
What if that person has not interest in reading that ARC? Has not intention of ever reading it? But for whatever reason came away with it at BEA? What's so wrong with selling it on to someone who more than likely will cherish it, or at least use it for the purpose it was intended.
Yes, I know they are making money and they shouldn't really but that kind of thing has been going on for years.
We sold promotional materials on ebay (bookmarks, posters etc) when I worked at Borders and we used the money for the kids bookgroup to pay for trips and pay for author visits. Was it illegal? Probably. Was it worth it when the kids got to meet and talk to one of their most favourite authors? Yes.
Wow! I'm shocked and disgusted. Hopefully something can be done to make Ebay prohibit the selling of ARCs.
The one with Torment (I think) listed has an Ebay store FULL of ARCs. This ranks high on my you should be ashamed of yourself scale.
@Sayuri Do you also believe it is acceptable to rob a bank and steal innocent people's money in order to buy homeless people food?
There are so many ways you can get an ARC...if you need one for a bookgroup, contact the publisher, if you want to read the book wait until it is released to the public. Many publishers are more than happy to provide review copies for bookclubs and groups. You can find contact information on EVERY publishers webpage.
Also BEA is not free to travel there but it is your decision to do so and your commitment to the industry that makes you go for it. There are so many people who can't afford to go to BEA who are still able to get ARCs. If you don't know any book bloggers you can easily Google for MANY of them to speak with. Many bloggers donate or giveaway their ARCs after reading them.
The point is the book says it is not for sale and the copyright in the first few pages of the book says it is not authorized for distribution, and the covers say NOT FOR SALE.
I know people sell them all the time but that does not make it legal or right, in my own opinion.
Again, thanks for commenting and keeping this discussion civil :)
@Sayuri- I agree, and I see where you're coming from. But once again, that money spent on travel/entrance fees doesn't go to authors & publishers. This is just like selling bootlegged copies of movies; it's wrong.
Not to mention the fact that this person is selling most of those ARCs at higher prices than the finished copies will probably be. It's just not fair to the people who worked so hard on the book.
And looking at the ebay page .. this person lives in New York. So I doubt she had to pay an arm and a leg to get there.
I just wrote a post on this as well! I think it is so wrong. The authors and publishers work their butts off for those ARCs and they never receive a dime when people sell them on ebay and such.
Thanks for your great post and inspiring me to spread the word as well.
I realize this is slightly off-topic, but what about ARC giveaways? The author isn't making profit off of those either, and yet they go on all the time. People get blog followers, ad revenue, attention and other benefits from those, and the author's book gets passed along to another person without the author receiving money. Does that get the same level of righteous anger?
What about after the book comes out and it's no longer technically an "advance" copy? Would the rules of the game change at that point?
Great post and yeah, thanks for getting this issue out there.
Though possibly at least some of the bidders are NOT at fault, I'm sure one or two of them could have just stumbled across it, have no clue what an ARC means and thought "Hey! I'll buy this" without really knowing what they're doing, LOL :D
It's a shame, really. :(
I can't believe someone is selling ARC's on ebay. That is horrible.
Not sure because I haven't really gave away any ARC's but don't most of you ask if its okay to give away your ARC of a book? Or do you just give it away? Just curious. :)
I want the ARC button!! The link takes me to blogger...ReplyDelete
I don't think ARC giveaways should be compared to selling ARCs. To be honest, I think the attention and other benefits that bloggers are getting from giveaways.. authors are getting the same things out of it.
I've accepted ARCs for review from lesser known publishing houses and after reviewing/loaning them to other bloggers, I've had an author tell me that I've helped her gain awareness on her novel. Bloggers are helping authors/publishers, and we're being generous when we offer them for giveaways. We don't HAVE to have contests; we could always just keep them instead of buying actual copies. But we're spending a few bucks out of our own wallets to pass them onto other eager readers.
So I definitely don't think that you can relate giveaways to this. Not one bit. But that's just my two cents.
Sayuri - I can't attend BEA either but that doesn't give me the want (or the desire) to illegally (keyword here) buy ARCs.
Join an ARC tour. There a quite a few of them out there, international ones too.
You can also go out and buy pot and crack cocaine. Doesn't make it right just because you can do it, does it?
¿What is an ARC?
I understand that it is a free book for promotional porpuose, am I wrong?
They gave you free books in the BEA?
Now I´m really envy of you :o
I don't see the fault with the bidders.. sorry I can imagine the majority are readers.. fans who never get a chance at an ARC otherwise..
To me the fault lies fully with the Bloggers who are given privilaged access to these with the hope they will review them.. & then sell them.. Yes that's wrong.
Getting an ARC is an extreme privilage. I think a lot of bloggers have forgotten that due to their easy access to them.
As a reader yes it makes me furious.. I would love to have access to ARC's to keep, but as a reader I don't get that op... Hell the one bound galley I won I didn't get.. I was sent a finished version no different than at walmart.
Giving them away if you have permission..fine
Maybe it's time they went to ebook programs like the libraries use.. the bloggers/reviewers have a limited time to have access then it's gone..
It's just dishonest and not cool. Sharing/ giving out ARCs on a blog for a contest is not the same. The author and publisher are still benefitting from this in a promotional sense. I don't think that BEA attendance is or should be about recouping money for entrance/ travel fees.
More upsetting to me is when I order a used book on amazon or something and get an ARC. I've had this happen several times. And, it wasn't like I was trying to get a book that wasn't out yet. Each of the books were already in paperback. This really upsets me. I've reported sellers for such dishonesty.
@kindlevixen I fixed the link
@Anonymous I feel sad you don't leave your name. I will not trash you for your opinion nor will I allow anyone else to post a comment that does so to anyone else discussing here. I want to have an open discussion and you can't do that behind masks in my opinion.
I have thought about what you say, I think maybe you have a point, I give away ARCs to other bloggers usually, people I know, if I want to giveaway one to a reader I usually ask the publisher...but how is this any different, good question...anyone else want to chime in here?
@Emma you have a point there too. I was angry while typing, something that should not be done. Some people bidding may not know and should not be penalized for the mistake or actions of someone else but...at the same time (I don't know where you are) if you buy something stolen, even if you don't know it is stolen you can get in just as much trouble here in the united states. But, you are correct some of these bidders may not know the books circumstances or that they aren't supposed to be sold. Thank you for bringing that up.
@iokijo there is a whole other topic there as well, about the readers having access to ARCs and whether the whole world will one day start a blog and try and receive ARCs. The difference in my opinion between a reader and a blogger is the amount of effort I put into reading a book and promoting it. I spend most of my spare time reading, reviewing, making contacts and such, most readers don't do that.
Thanks for the discussion everyone is being very level headed and open, I like it. Please continue sharing your thoughts.
@Ms Deraps: Thank you for bringing that up. The qualities of ARCS are not the same as a paperback to a hardcover so they should not be sold as such as well..and a lot of sellers do.ReplyDelete
Great discussion! I agree that selling ARCs is just wrong, as they are supposed to be for promotional purposes only. And it's a little annoying as well, as I stood in several lines at BEA where they ran out of copies, then to have them show up on eBay? That's just not right.ReplyDelete
I just want to state that it is not only bloggers who sell ARCs. BEA allowed people from all facets of the publishing industry, from book sellers to librarians to those working in conjunction with the industry. That stated, I think as bloggers we have the ethical responsibility not to sell arcs. I almost feel I can guarantee some of the creepy old guys in the YA autographing lines probably only wanted those books/arcs to sell, as I noticed they did not get them personalized. However, perhaps I am jumping to unfair conclusions.ReplyDelete
Thanks for informing us.ReplyDelete
Here is the link for ebay's
Replicas, counterfeit items, and unauthorized copies policy.
There is a link on that page to report listings that offer unauthorized copies of media. Then you have to sign in to your ebay account and send the item number.
Hope this helps.
It clearly says on ARCs that they are not to be sold so of course making money with them is wrong and IMO even illegal.
It makes me crazy to see ARCs on ebay, publishers should really try to stop this.
Regarding buying ARCs on ebay: I guess that most buyers know what ARCs are and that they are not to be sold so buying them is IMO also wrong.
Wow, I can't believe people are really doing that. It sickens me. I hope you can generate enough buzz to have them removed from eBay. If you want to share with another blogger that is one thing, and that is perfectly OK. Selling something that specifically says 'not for sale' to make money off of someone else's extreme generosity is disgusting. THIS is why I felt the 'Professionalism and Ethics' portion of the BBC fell quite short of my expectations of it - he pretty much condoned this.ReplyDelete
BTW, you can click report item on the listing, as @wordforteens passed on to me.ReplyDelete
Despicable. Truly.
I agree, it's people who do this sort of thing (though I'd be hesitant to say they are definitely or only book bloggers) that diminish the reputation of all. It's just so selfish. I'll also go out on a limb and speculate that these same people took multiple copies -- on so they could keep it themselves and others to sell.
I'll say it again, despicable.
I think if the books have "not for sale" or "not for re-sale" you could technically contact EBAY and have them taken down. That would certainly be against their acceptable use policy.
Thank you for putting up the post. In effect, we hope that any young bloggers in the business of dealing ARCs see just how frowned upon this practice happens to be.
We're confident that the tsunami of Tweets on this subject also put the word out that the online book review community will step in and take action by flagging unreleased ARCs on Ebay.
I wouldn't neccesarily put the blame on the buyers. Some may be young fans of these authors who do not truly realize why it is bad to buy & sell ARCs. I think 99% of the blame is on the SELLERS who know perfectly well what they are doing!ReplyDelete
Monica, I'm definitely going to post about this next week. Where can we get 'the button' for ourselves and to offer to our followers?ReplyDelete
I get a TON of ARC's and I fully appreciate each one. So what I do to avoid this whole mess is I give out my ARCs to my friends that I know would appreciate them, because as an aspiring author myself, I would rather my book go to people who loves it, rather than collect dust on a bookshelf somewhere. I don't give them out as contests on my blog, when I do giveaways, I have the author or publisher provide the books themselves, that way I know for sure they are on board.ReplyDelete

Get chattin' RDMs. What's new? Other than RDM seemingly having gone from desirable for group play to... not so much.
RDM/WAR still seems fun, at times. I like -pdt set with martial knife and genbu's shield and then swapping to aeolian edge gear and kaboom... 15x 1k dmg. Soloing Kuftal for limit points is so easy. Farming flame geode on fire day in kuftal too, weather permitting! Is there a limit to how many targets AE can affect? It seems like regardless of how many crabs and lizard I gather, I never see 1k x40 pop in the log /shrug

The trade in child pornography can turn sexual abuse into a lifetime of ongoing victimization, but there is help.
The Supreme Court will today hear arguments on restitution for victims of child pornography in the landmark case of Paroline v United States. The National Center for Victims of Crime and the National Crime Victim Bar Association wants all victims to know that there are resources they can access to start rebuilding their lives.
"This case is bringing much-needed public awareness of the devastating life-long impact of this crime," said Mai Fernandez, Executive Director of the National Center for Victims of Crime.
"Child pornography is not a victimless crime. It is a shadowy global marketplace where child rape is normalized as a commodity to be traded and distributed forever," Ms Fernandez said.
"Our message to victims is – reach out: you are not alone. It is never to late to seek help. Your local rape crisis center, shelter or child advocacy center can help you access the mental health, legal and other services that you need," she said.
Child pornography victims, including "Amy Unknown" – whose restitution is at issue in the Paroline case – accessed the legal representation they needed from attorneys affiliated with the National Crime Victim Bar Association. The NCVBA runs an attorney-referral helpline - 202 467 8716 - that is open to all crime victims, including victims of child abuse and child pornography who seek legal assistance.
"Many victims of child pornography have no idea that they may be entitled to restitution and that an attorney can help them bring a civil action," said the Director of the National Crime Victim Bar Association, Jeff Dion.
"No matter how old you are, if you were sexually abused as a child and the abuse was photographed or filmed, you can seek help today from a victim advocate or attorney," said Mr Dion.
Amy Unknown was repeatedly raped by her uncle when she was eight years old. Videos and still images of her abuse have turned up in over 2500 instances, in police investigations worldwide.
NCVBA attorneys Paul Cassell, a former federal judge, and James Marsh, a New York based trial attorney and head of the Children's Law Center are representing Amy Unknown. NCVBA attorney, Carol Hepburn represents another victim of child pornography whose claim for restitution in a different jurisdiction has been held over pending this ruling by the Supreme Court.
Victims of child sexual abuse can suffer from depression and anxiety; many attempt suicide or are unable to maintain relationships or employment over their lifetimes.
The marketplace for child pornography makes recovery from this kind of abuse particularly difficult. Victims know that their images continue to be used and traded for sexual gratification, and this may go on forever. Many fear being stalked by or recognized by viewers, and in some cases victims have been stalked and recognized. Many suffer from crushing guilt knowing that that their images will be used to groom new victims, or to persuade consumers of child pornography that child rape and abuse is enjoyable for the victim.
The National Center for Victims of Crime and the National Crime Victim Bar Association Supreme Court amicus briefs in support of the victim "Amy Unknown" are available here:
National Center for Victims of Crime is working to improve the response to victims of child pornography through a project funded by the Office for Victims of Crime, U.S. Department of Justice. The National Center and its partner organizations, the National Children's Alliance and the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center, has been hearing directly from victims and their families—and the professionals who work with them—about their needs and the barriers they face in finding or accessing services. This important and sensitive work will identify promising treatments and policy responses to promote the recovery of child pornography victims.
The National Crime Victim Bar Association is an affiliate and program of the National Center for Victims of Crime. It was founded in April 1999, creating the nation's first professional association of attorneys and expert witnesses dedicated to helping victims seek justice through the civil system. Crime victims deserve compensation for the harms they have suffered, and third parties are increasingly held accountable through the civil justice system.

ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada (AP) — A former prime minister of Grenada is returning to power on the eastern Caribbean island after his party won all 15 constituencies in parliamentary elections.
Keith Mitchell's New National Party defeated the National Democratic Congress of outgoing leader Tillman Thomas in Tuesday's vote. Thomas had served as prime minister since 2008.
Elections supervisor Judy Benoit says preliminary results show the NNP received more than 31,000 votes and the NDC more than 20,000.
Grenada has nearly 110,000 inhabitants.
The 13 seats in the island's Senate are indirectly determined by the election. The new government appoints 10 of the seats while the opposition names three.

Eumelia complies with the European Ecotourism Labeling Standards
We are honored to have participated and complied with the European Ecotourism Labeling Standards. Our commitment to sustainable tourism and protecting the environment is of out most importance for us at Eumelia.
"EETLS - the European Ecotourism Labelling Standard - is a baseline quality standard developed along the lines of the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria, for European Ecotourism. The EETLS is the result of a lengthy development and consultation process that documented international best practice leading to a set of criteria and indicators that are suitable for ensuring quality of ecotourism services.
The EETLS is complimentary to existing certification schemes, setting minimum acceptable standards that can be used by certification schemes and quality labels to benchmark and, hopefully, adjust their own requirements. The EETLS aims to provide a Europe-wide dimension of ecotourism quality certification, offering the possibility for an EETLS-compliance sign integrated in the existing labels."

Expect more crowded Texas roads, airports for holiday
If you haven't already, you might want to check the tires or confirm reservations if you're planning to travel Memorial Day weekend.
The holiday weekend is expected to be a little busier than last year, according to a forecast from AAA, the motor club and travel organization. Nearly 3 million Texans are expected to clog roadways and pack airports through Monday, a 1 percent increase from 2012.
Sarah Schimmer, AAA spokeswoman in Houston, said families are eagerly anticipating the weekend, traditionally seen as the start of the busiest travel season of the year.
"It's summertime and school's out," Schimmer said. "Everything is lining up for people to kick off the summer season."

Track flights and airport delays by clicking here.
Extra preparation is advised for those taking to the skies for the weekend. The Houston Airport System projects a 3 percent increase in the number of passengers traveling through Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports through Monday.
Though extra staffing will be employed, airport officials still advise passengers add another 30 minutes to their flight preparation and keep up with the latest Transportation Security Administration regulations to learn what is permissible through checkpoints. Flight wait times and parking availability can be checked via fly2houston.com.
More to drive than fly
Texans hitting the road may find their trip a little more costly. The statewide gas average has risen 2 cents from last week to $3.43, 7 cents higher than last month. Houston and Galveston gas averages match the state average, both rising in the past week. However, the Texas average is currently 23 cents less than the national average.
Despite the slightly higher gas prices, millions more Texans are still choosing to drive rather than fly, according to AAA statistics.
"More people are driving, and driving further than they did before," said Mike Weingart, president of Air Land Sea Consultants in Houston. "Gas is still under $4. … I don't think people get too concerned over pennies and dimes."
Schimmer has two tips for those wanting to save more at the pump: pack light and drive the speed limit.
"The more weight you carry, the more fuel you're going to burn," Schimmer said. "Also, when you follow speed limit and get a good pace, your car is performing at its best."
Residents planning to stay within city limits over the weekend will be treated to mostly sunny skies. Temperatures are expected to be in the upper 80s from Friday to Sunday, with a slight chance of rain Saturday.
Families will be able to find relief from the heat all weekend long; 20 of Houston's 37 city pools will be open from Saturday to Monday. Pool hours are from 1-8 p.m.
The Parks and Recreation Department also is hosting a "Splash-Off" event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Memorial Athletic Club and Aquatic Center at which families can take swim lessons and participate in water fitness programs. The aquatic center is at 14690 Memorial.
Although it is a popular time for travel, the holiday remains a day for remembrance. A Memorial Day ceremony will be held from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the Houston National Cemetery, 10410 Veterans Memorial.
