- to support the enhancement and promotion of sustainable transnational thematic tourism products contributing to the development and promotion of sustainable tourism in Europe by improving their visibility and market uptake.
- to contribute to the creation of an environment favourable to transnational co-operation among tourism-related stakeholders with a particular emphasis on the SMEs.
It aims at:
- Strengthening trans-national cooperation, with regard to sustainable tourism;
- Encouraging a higher involvement of small and micro enterprises and local authorities;
- Stimulating competitiveness of the tourism industry by means of an enhanced focus on the diversification of sustainable tourism thematic products.
For the purpose of this call, a sustainable transnational thematic tourism product should correspond to the following characteristics:
A transnational thematic tourism product is meant as made up of a set of tourism destinations/attractions/services and taking the form of a transnational route/itinerary/trail/tourism offer, either physical (based on physical infrastructure) or conceptual (linking places/destinations/attractions) having a common thematic link and a high potential for sustainable tourism development.
Moreover, the tourism product must:
- BE TRANSNATIONAL - A thematic tourism product (e.g. a route/itinerary/trail/tourism offer) has to cover/be developed in at least 4 countries as listed under point 5.1. I. Involvement of more than 4 countries will be considered as an added value for the proposal.
- BE THEMATIC - A transnational tourism product must be conceived, structured and developed around a common theme.
- BE ALREADY DEVELOPED: The aim is to support the market uptake of the products that have already achieved a certain development stage (e.g. at least the concept/action plan exists and some development activities, networking of stakeholders took already place). It will be the onus of the applicant to provide the description and evidence on the above. For this purpose, the project proposals have to include a thorough description of the sustainable transnational thematic tourism product indicating the actions implemented so far and the development achieved of the product as well as its potential for further tourism development (please see Annex B.0 and Annex 1 Submission Set, Form B6 "Description of the action").
- HAVE HIGH POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM (e.g. by increasing tourists' flows, increasing employment and development of enterprises in tourism sector, benefiting local economies and communities, contributing to the responsible use of natural resources, preservation of natural and cultural heritage, etc.).
The project proposal should focus on the promotion of a concrete transnational thematic tourism product (e.g. a transnational route/itinerary/trail/tourism offer) based on a type of tourism (e.g. cultural tourism, cycling, sports tourism, eco-tourism, eno-gastronomic tourism, health and wellbeing tourism, nature tourism, historical, pilgrim tourism, agro-tourism, rural tourism, or tourism capitalising on the maritime and sub-aquatic cultural heritage, industrial heritage or the economic fabric of a region etc. This list is not meant to be exhaustive). Promoting local offers only, without focusing on a transnational offer or promoting a general type of tourism only, without focusing on a concrete transnational product (route/trail/itinerary/tourism offer), would not be sufficient to fulfil the requirements of the call.

Maximum EU Contribution per project : € 250 000
Specific Programme(s): Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP) within the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP).

The Justice Department is investigating allegations that a mortgage subsidiary of Morgan Stanley foreclosed on almost two dozen military families from 2006 to 2008 in violation of a longstanding law aimed at preventing such action.
A department spokeswoman confirmed on Friday that the Morgan Stanley unit, Saxon Mortgage Services, is one of several mortgage and lending companies being investigated by its civil rights division. The inquiry is focused on possible violations of a federal law that bars lenders from foreclosing on active-duty service members without a court hearing.

My purpose is to bring up specific examples of "what not to be" and convince the moderators that the examples are worth being punished for the better of the community.
Frequently repeat offenders breakdown general efforts of well-intent people and community leaders. Normally, rules and guidelines are there to protect people from being dragged down. While it wouldn't be efficient to be so iron-fisted in all rules, there are some that I think are worth being stricter on than currently. There are two rules constantly being broken that I think need to be adhered to more closely and deserve more punishment than currently given.
2. No spam, no flaming.That means no threads inciting flames or mindless chatter. Profanity is to be kept to a minimum: while permitted in context, excessive swearing will not be tolerated. Personal attacks - 'flames' - are strictly prohibited.
2.1 Don't post in an obnoxious manner.
This includes abusing the colour and size tags, spamming images or smilies all over the place, and generally creating an eyesore. The use of internet forum pictures specifically designed for posting in threads is prohibited; examples would be things like "WTF," "Thread Necromancy," or anything with kittens in it and a witty caption, like "Even Kittens can't save this thread" etc.
(full rules: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=15)
I mentioned repeat offenders that prevent progress in the community that frequently break the rules above. The offenders that I think are Sukinkot, Tiger1996, and Armacalic. While they have had their constructive moments, they've also frequently driven people away from worthwhile discussion and even participation in the forums. This directly undermines the values of a community-focused mod.
For the sake of being concise, I'll try to limit my thoughts on broader ideas but wouldn't have an issue going deeper if a reader thinks it is worth reading.
Sukin-kot often makes remarks that are condescending to players. While it's understandable that he suspects they are trolls and only insults when he thinks that person has non-honest motives in the forum, it is unbecoming to insult a troll especially when there is a chance that it is an honest person.
Stick wrote:This is why I never post to forums, because of dickheads like Sukin-kot, so I'm done here, I'll deal with it.
Clearly there is visible impact on the community on Sukin's actions. He is clearly banworthy but maybe it isn't necessary to ban if he changes his tone. Since being called out on his behavior, Sukin hasn't really really insulted others.
The last statement can't really be said about all my examples mentioned above, unfortunately. There are some repeat offenders that clearly have not changed and do not seem to have any inclination to.
Tiger1996 has repeatedly incited flames, insulted, and spread lies about people.
One softer offense he commits is his spamming. He often makes non-valuable and sarcastic emoticons, frequently brings up topics that have been recently been closed by a soft consensus, and makes complaints without first making complete assessments.
Butterkeks wrote:But try to activeley participate in a discussion. He will overtake it, spread his BS and insult you for wanting a balanced game. Everytime you post anything he will reply with the same BS he already wrote. Guess why the "inspiring for perfection" topic has 14 pages.
Also there are statements like
"I won't allow to nerf that"
"I won't let it happen"
"I will change it like that. So accept it."
Another more serious offense is the libel he spreads. One of the difficult troubles with forums is that there are limited windows into a person's personality and heart. It is especially difficult when channels like private messaging, steam, single-side game recordings can easily hide and cover up truths. Tiger has often given inaccurate portrayals of people. I trust that most people would take his words with a grain of salt, but that shouldn't be an excuse to allow such behavior.
He also frequently incites off-topic and value degrading discussions. It has happened so frequently and angered enough people that there have been multiple posts dedicated to complaining about his behavior. While the posts themselves are just as bad as the person, I bring them up just to show the extent of how tired people are of Tiger. This actually brings me to the next example of "who not to be" as it is a direct product of Tiger as a value-degrader.
Tiger has made many enemies, many of which who act in an extremely banworthy manner (as mentioned from the anti-tiger posts above), but none come close to Armacalic.
Armacalic has essentially made 90% of his posts to point out the flaws in Tiger's arguments and insult him as a person. Nearly none of Armacalic's posts have to do with the game except perhaps a satire of this mod's community. Maybe he is out to make a point, but it isn't really the best way. It drives discussions far away from the original intent and just incites more flames. It's hard to say if he is really just a product of Tiger or if he is normally this toxic. Either way, it doesn't help. If he isn't punished then at least remove the variable that could potentially be the cause for all his toxicity.
I may be presumptuous and overstepping my humility when I ask for moderators to hammer down on specific people, but I want to at least publicly and objectively show that the lack in any guidance from the moderators has created an environment that frequently hinders progress. I'm not asking for strict adherence to the guidelines, just consider having a heavier hand in driving the community.

PORTSMOUTH -- Service Credit Union employees once again joined forces with "New Hampshire Goes Red For Women Day" as part of National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 1 to show their support for women's heart disease awareness. This year, Service Credit Union will give additional support to the American Heart Association by celebrating a month-long Service Credit Union Fitness Challenge.
Cindy Rybczyk of the New Hampshire American Heart Association came out to address the Service Credit Union employees taking part in the day's event.
National Wear Red Day is a national awareness campaign for women about heart disease sponsored by the American Heart Association. The organization created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002. This observance promotes the Red Dress symbol and provides an opportunity for everyone to unite in this life-saving awareness movement by showing off a favorite red dress, shirt, tie, or Red Dress Pin.
For the fifth straight year, Service Credit Union employees donated $5 a piece toward the cause and participated in a dress down day at the credit union. Service Credit Union matched employee donations for a contribution to the American Heart Association.
"National Wear Red Day is a great opportunity to reach out to women in our community and alert them to their personal risk factors for heart disease," says Gordon Simmons, President/CEO of Service Credit Union. "By wearing red and participating on February 1st, we showed our support for heart disease awareness."
National Wear Red Day is an annual event held on the first Friday in February. The first observance, in February 2004, was announced at the White House. On National Wear Red Day, women and men across the country wear red to unite in the national movement to give women a personal and urgent wakeup call about their risk of heart disease.
To raise even more money for the New Hampshire American Heart Association and to promote a healthy lifestyle, Service Credit Union will donate $50 per employee who completes the Fitness Challenge during the month of February 2013 up to $3,000. To be eligible for the Service Credit Union Fitness Challenge, more than 200 employees signed up to perform at least 20 minutes of exercise three times a week for four weeks.
Service Credit Union will post the employees' progress on the Service Credit Union facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/ServiceCreditUnion and on our Twitter page. Service Credit Union will also be encouraging members to join in on the fitness challenge and post their experiences and progress during the month of February.
With over $2.2 billion in assets, Service Credit Union has 22 branches in New Hampshire, one in Massachusetts, and 17 branches on U.S. military bases in Germany.

Thirsty Boy Drinks Camel Urine Because Ewwww [VIDEO]
Camels may make for a popular cigarette, but did you know they're also a pretty refreshing drink?
In this video, a young boy in Saudi Arabia gulps down some fresh camel urine. Because sometimes that processed-in-a-can camel pee just won't do. Or you can't get your hands on some cow urine.
What do you think? Would you ever drink camel urine or is this just too exotic for your tastes?

The circumstances of ouster of three-term Sen. Robert Bennett in a Utah Republican convention Saturday suggest that any claims of a "tea party" revolution in the works for the 2010 midterm elections are, perhaps, still premature.
To be sure, the elimination of incumbent Senator Bennett in the race for the Republican nomination is the most concrete political accomplishment yet of the tea party movement, which opposed him. Moreover, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's flight from the Republican Party – when faced with a near-certain primary defeat at the hands of the tea-party-backed Marco Rubio – shows that Republicans ignore the tea party at their peril.
But Utah, in particular, is a peculiar political proving ground. Primaries are decided, not by voters registered with each party, but by a convention of delegates. The 3,400 delegates who convened in Salt Lake City this weekend represented the purest of the pure, ideologically speaking – the leading conservatives of arguably the Union's most conservative state.
In other words, they are the Utahns most likely to be swayed by the tea party's call for strict fiscal conservatism and smaller government.
Bennett's missteps
It was Bennett's support for the federal Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) and his attempt to work out a bipartisan compromise on health-care reform that doomed him in such an assembly. By contrast, second-place finisher Mike Lee, who will face off with the winner in a June 22 primary, has pledged to dismantle the Department of Education.
[Editor's note: The original misstated the results of the convention.]
For these reasons, the lessons of Utah are not easily applied in other states. Indeed, a local poll by Dan Jones & Associates suggested that if all Utah's registered Republicans are taken into account – as is the case in most state primaries – Bennett comes in first with 27 percent support.
The truer test will come May 18, when Kentucky Republicans will choose their candidate for an open Senate seat. The race is between Trey Grayson, a candidate backed by the full might of the Washington establishment, and Rand Paul, who is backed by Sarah Palin, the tea parties, and is the son of Ron Paul, the former presidential candidate and darling of many of America's most conservative voters.
The clearest way for the tea party movement to have an effect on national politics would be to push their favored candidates through Republican primaries in Republican-leaning states and congressional districts. Utah certainly qualifies, as would Kentucky.
Polls suggest that Mr. Paul has a sizable lead in the Kentucky race, but it might be shrinking as Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell takes to the airwaves to support Mr. Grayson. In addition, Paul will not have the help of the conservative Club for Growth, which spent $200,000 in Utah in a bid to unseat Bennett.
All about anti-incumbency?
Beyond Utah, primary results have been mixed so far. But the overarching lesson appears to be a hardening against incumbents. Utah might be merely the extreme example of this trend.
Particularly in the Republican Party, anger over rampant government spending and the expansion of entitlements appears to have driven voters further to the right. Whether they have moved as far right as the tea party will only begin to become apparent after May 18.

ORLANDO, Fla. – The people who were in the downtown Orlando office when Jason Rodriguez stormed in and opened fire, killing one person and hurting six others, testified on Thursday in Rodriguez's trial.
Rodriguez, 44, opened fire at Reynolds, Smith and Hills inside Gateway Center in 2009 after being fired from the architectural firm two years earlier, according to prosecutors.
In opening statements, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick, who was on the prosecution team in the Casey Anthony trial, showed pictures of workers shot and wounded by Rodriguez, describing how each person tried to escape Rodriguez.
Jurors also saw a picture of Otis Beckford, who was shot and killed in the gunfire. Police found 20 shell casings inside of the office, according to prosecutors.
"I never knew the meaning of the word horror until that day," said Guy Lugenbeel, who said he had never met Rodriguez until the day of the shooting. Lugenbeel was one of the five who was wounded and said the bullet hit in him the shoulder, zig-zagged up his spine and lodged in his sinus behind his eye, where it remains. "I didn't know whether to hide. I didn't know whether to run. I didn't know what to do."
Keandra Harrison, who was shot and in the chest and ankle, described hiding under a coworker's desk.
"My eyes are closed and I am ready to be riddled with bullets," Harrison said, becoming emotional as she described the shooting. "And I'm hearing gunshots."
Doctors previously testified that Rodriguez suffers from hallucinations and schizophrenia, but a judge later found him competent to stand trial for murder.
Prosecutors said during Rodriguez's arrest, he said he was "just having a tough time." Rodriguez was Baker Acted into mandatory mental health evaluation after being fired before the shooting.
Rodriguez's attorneys argued he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and was insane at the time of the shooting.
"He did not know at that moment it was wrong," said defense attorney Laura Klossner.
In opening statements, Rodriguez's attorneys said their client hears a voice in his head belonging to an entity called "Sharptooth," which Rodriguez believes conspires with his former employers to ruin his life.
Prosecutors acknowledged on Thursday that Rodriguez was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, but says he knew it was wrong to shoot and kill people.
If convicted, Rodriguez faces up to life in prison. The defense has asked the jury to find Rodriguez not guilty by reason of insanity.
Judge Belvin Perry, who is known for his involvement the Anthony trial, is presiding over Rodriguez's trial.

One of (the) biggest issues we've had is that [senior advisor] Bill James was a great resource for us but fell out of favor over the last few years for reasons I really don't understand. We've gotten him more involved recently in the central process and that will help greatly.
He's the father, so to speak, of baseball analysis and a brilliant iconoclast who looks at things differently from everyone else. ...
Next year is going to be about one thing: winning the AL East in 2013 and setting the stage for the next few years. We used to be satisfied with making the playoffs, but with the addition of a second wild card forcing a one-game playoff, we need to set a goal now annually to win the division.
Given where we are right now, it's a tall order to win the division next year. But we have to do everything we can to contend without repeating errors of the past — something we are determined to avoid. We strayed from our core philosophy over the past few years and have paid a terrible price for that.

Glad to hear the divisional goal. I hated when Theo would say "Just be one of the 8 teams left standing and take your chances." As if there was no way to have an advantage in the playoffs. WIth the new system you have to set sights on the D.

Here's my recipe which is heavily adapted from the one at Exclusively Food. 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated (I used Russet potatoes)
Potato pancakes, also known as latkes or latkas, are shallow-fried pancakes of grated potato and egg, often flavored with grated onion. Latkes are a traditional Jewish dish, associated with Hanukkah and are often eaten with sour cream, applesauce, or both.
Potato pancakes are also commonly associated with traditional Czech, Ukrainian, Yiddish, German and Polish cuisine, although other cuisines (including those of India and Korea) also have similar potato pancakes.
(Source: Wikipedia)
I love potatoes in any shape or form and just had to give latkes a shot. There are thousands of latke recipes out there but this one worked really well for me.
I love that the recipe makes use of the simplest of ingredients that are found in almost every kitchen/pantry.
(For 10 small latkes)
1 small onion, peeled and grated
½ cup spring onions, finely chopped (optional- I only used these because I had some that were about to go bad)
2 eggs, beaten
3-4 Tbsp all -purpose flour
Red pepper flakes
Oil, for pan-frying
Squeeze out all the excess liquid from the grated potato-onion mixture (I used a food processor here) and place in a large bowl.
Add the flour, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and chopped scallions (if using) to the mixture. Add the beaten eggs and mix well to combine.
Heat oil (just enough for shallow frying) in a large pan. Scoop some of the potato-onion mixture into the pan with a large spoon and press down lightly with the back of the spoon.
Shallow fry until crisp and golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side similarly. I was able to make 3 latkes at a time.
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sour cream.
These pancakes are very quick and easy to make and are traditionally served as a side, but we had them for breakfast/brunch. You could also serve these as appetizers like Deb has done here.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 27, 2010) – The U.S. Men's A2 Volleyball Team advanced to the semifinals of the 2010 Pan American Cup after sweeping Dominican Republic, 25-14, 25-18, 25-18 on Thursday at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Team USA (3-0) will face Brazil (2-0) in Friday's first semifinal match at 7 p.m. ET. Puerto Rico (2-1) will play Argentina (2-0) at 9 p.m.
Jayson Jablonsky (Yorba Linda, Calif.) led the United States with 12 points on nine kills (0.64 attack percentage), two blocks and one ace. Robert Tarr (Cape Canaveral, Fla.) added 11 points on six kills (0.60 attack percentage) a match-high three blocks and two aces. Carson Clark (Santa Barbara, Calif.) contributed nine points on seven kills (0.63 attack percentage), one block and one ace.
Jose Caceres led Dominican Republic with 11 points. Victor Batista added eight.
"These two teams have played each other many times and it was a good battle," U.S. Men's A2 Head Coach Rick McLaughlin said. "We started well and kept it going with good serves. The Dominican coach does a good job with his talented team."
"The Americans were the superior team by far," Dominican Head Coach Jacinto Campechano said. "They dictated the game with their serves and didn't let us play. We need to be more consistent but to get that we also need to play more international matches."
As a team, the United States led in attack percentage (0.64-0.36), blocking (9-4) and aces (7-3).
Among other U.S. scorers, Dean Bittner (Lakewood, Calif.) who shared time at opposite with Clark, scored seven points on six kills and one ace. Theo Brunner (Ridgefield, Conn.) finished with six points on four kills and two blocks.
David Smith (Saugus, Calif.) scored three points on one kill and two aces. Matt McKinney (Santa Ynez, Calif.) added three points on three kills. Max Lipsitz (Williamsville, N.Y.) scored two points on two kills.
Setter Brian Thornton scored two points on one kill and one block. He was credited with 20 running sets on 56 attempts.
Libero Andy McGuire was credited with 11 excellent receptions and no faults on 16 attempts. He also had four digs on 18 attempts.
McLaughlin started Jablonsky and Tarr at outside hitter, Brunner and Smith at middle blocker, Clark at opposite, Thornton at setter and McGuire at libero.
Bittner substituted for Clark in the second set and started the third. Lipsitz started the third set for Brunner. McKinney substituted for Tarr in the second and third sets.
The U.S. Men's A2 Team held an 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) of the first set, getting points off kills from Clark, Smith, Brunner and Jablonsky along with a Jablonsky ace. After the break, the United States scored on a Dominican error and an ace by Smith. Campechano called timeout, but it didn't freeze Smith who responded with another ace.
