Astonishing electronic debut album by current The Mars Volta drummer
"Touch But Don't Look" is an astonishingly good electronic album by current The Mars Volta drummer Deantoni Parks (whom I really didn't like too much on their otherwise excellent latest album). This one is an intriguing solo debut, however. Tracks like "Make My Day," "Dickie Newman" and "Best Day of My Life" are spectacular. Since Parks is a drummer, "Touch But Don't Look" is a very percussive album. His intricate drumming is accompanied by droning and buzzing synthesizers, creating weird, yet danceable music.

Northland Nature: Returning north from spring
Each spring for the past several years, I have gone on a trip to the south. It gives me a chance to experience two springs.
Each spring for the past several years, I have gone on a trip to the south.
Taking a few weeks in March or April to step out of the late-winter scene of northern Minnesota to wander through spring in the latitudes 700 or 800 miles to the south of here is a refreshing look at not only what is happening in the vernal world in these southern states, but I see it also as a glimpse into the future of what will be occurring in the Northland once the season settles in. It gives me a chance to experience two springs.
This double season is what is expected and it does happen, but there have been some major surprises as well.
Twice (2010 and 2012), I left in March with about a foot of snow on the ground only to have record-setting warmth and very early melting. I returned home to a scene completely devoid of snow, not what I expected in late March. (An early ice-out allowed me to paddle in the lake already in March.) During those years of mild March not only did the snow melt, we did not get any more snow through the month of April.
A more normal situation was in 2011 when we left in a snowfall and returned shortly before another, neither of which gave much of a covering.
And so when we left on a trip this year at the time of the vernal equinox in March for a journey into the southern spring, I expected a more normal return.
The snowpack that had accumulated during the snowier-than-usual March was at about 20 inches. The seasonal snowfall total was a respectable 78 inches, but no snow fell during the week before we left and a slow warming trend was going on in the last week of the month. This gave for a nice steady slow melt and we looked forward to coming back in 30 days to a typical April day of patches of melting snow, ice going out in wetlands and temperatures in the fifties or sixties.
I did not expect that we would be regressing into another phase of winter in this record-setting April.
In 2012 we experienced a record-setting March with the warmest temperatures ever for this month, with several days in the seventies. This year, the month was April, and the records were of another type. This present month was one of snowfall.
With more than 40 inches falling during this month, the old record was eclipsed by greater than 10 inches. The seasonal snowfall total had leapt from 78 to over 120 inches, all this following an April of 2012 that produced virtually no snow. I was in other states while this amazing spring snow was falling, but I was aware of what was happening.
And now I return.
After 30 days we expected to be going north with the spring, not from the spring. I looked forward to walking in a woods of early migrants, perhaps a few wildflowers in bloom and hearing calling frogs.
But when we left the spring season in the south, we really left spring. Missouri was green lawns and trees. Iowa faded from green grass in the south to brown further north. As soon as we entered Minnesota, we began to see patches of snow on the ground. This became consistent near the Twin Cities and north of the metro area; the snow cover was complete and thick. We also noted ice-covered lakes as we moved further north.
Home was blanketed with April snow and I noted that the snowpack was about 20 inches, nearly the same as a month ago! Not only has the month produced greater amounts of snow than anyone expected, but it was also chilly (even a couple of record-setting low temperatures). And the ponds, swamps and lakes held this impressive snow coat above persistent ice.
Instead of returning to lawns and flowers, I'm back to snow shovels and plows. And today's walk in the woods was done on snowshoes. I did not see all that I had hoped to find in late April; but despite the snow, Canada geese, robins, red-winged blackbirds, hermit thrushes and yellow-rumped warblers all welcomed me back (but there was also redpolls at the feeder).
The expanding hours of daylight, now at fourteen, tells me that the season, though late, will come. I'll need to wait a bit more, but I'll get a second spring.
And now as I look around at this huge snowpack as we exit April, I wonder about the next concern: How will this much spring snow impact the warming season to come?

The local authority (LA) will look at the request for a statutory assessment and will tell you within 6 weeks whether they will carry out an assessment. As soon as the LA start looking at the request for a statutory assessment they will write to you and:
tell you that they are considering whether to carry out a statutory assessment
tell you how they will carry out the statutory assessment
explain the timescales (which will be no longer than 6 months in all)
give you the name of the person at the LA who will be your point of contact
ask you to give written or spoken reasons, called evidence, about why you think your child should or should not be assessed (you have at least 29 days to send this in to the LA)
tell you about the LA's parent partnership service who will be able to help you with independent advice and support
ask you if there is anyone else you would like the LA to talk to about your child
ask you for any evidence or opinions you have collected or intend to get
encourage you to provide written or spoken evidence for the LA to consider (the LA or the parent partnership service can help you make a written version)
LAs have 6 weeks to tell you whether they will carry out a statutory assessment of your child. If LAs take longer than 6 weeks, you should ask the named officer to explain the delay.
If you are not happy with the answer or reason for the delay, you can talk to the local parent partnership service or ask the LA to arrange to sort out the disagreement informally through an independent person.
If you are still not happy, you can complain to the Secretary of State for Education about an unreasonable delay. The Secretary of State can tell the LA to tell you whether they will carry out a statutory assessment. The LA or the parent partnership service will be able to give you details of how to make a complaint about such a delay.
For further information please read 'Special educational needs (SEN): a guide for parents and carers'.

Recent political and legislative developments could re-energize the discussion on performance management and focus government attention on the issue.
After the pay freeze: 5 ways to keep performance up
One such development is the Telework Enhancement Act that President Barack Obama signed into law in December. It requires agencies to establish policies for their employees to work from locations outside the office. And that, experts say, can't be done without developing outcome-based performance measures.
"There's always been a need for performance standards in government, but attendance has been used as the default instead," said Jon Desenberg, senior policy director at the Performance Institute. "That's not possible with telework."
The boost in Republicans' standing in the new Congress — into the majority in the House and with greater numbers in the Senate — could also bode well for performance management because it has traditionally been a Republican issue. For example, it was a very public issue during the Bush administration, as exemplified by the President's Management Agenda.
However, the new Congress could also bring some pain for government employees. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has recommended going beyond the recent across-the-board federal pay freeze by also halting step increases and has said he will introduce legislation to that end.
But such a move could promote even more discussion about performance management, Desenberg said.
"Unlike the Bush administration, the current administration hasn't really gotten involved with performance management," he said. "With Republicans coming back into power, we'll likely see it [come] to the fore again."

I agree wholeheartedly that Republicans pay more attention to performance management. But the approach this time is likely to be much more punitive than under President Bush. Say what you want about the previous Administration, there was a sincere interest in promoting better Federal management, and not just punishing Feds or privatizing their jobs. The approach from Mr. Chaffetz and others is likely to be much different. And on the Senate side, a huge void has been left with the retirement of George Voinovich, a champion of sound management and of Federal employees in general. Sad to say, we will not see his like again soon.

By Rebecca A. Clay
For many people, the story that follows illustrates perfectly the philosophy of the Recovery Community Services Program at SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT).
A man falls into a hole so deep he can't get out. A doctor walks by, and the man calls for help. The doctor writes a prescription, tosses it into the hole, and walks on. A priest walks by, and the man tries again. The priest writes a prayer, tosses it into the hole, and walks on. Finally a friend walks by, and again the man asks for help. To his surprise, the friend jumps in with him. "Why did you do that?" the man asks. "Now we're both in the hole." "Yes," the friend responds. "But I've been in this hole before, and I know the way out."
Launched in 2002, the Program promotes the idea that people who have already recovered from alcohol or substance abuse disorders can do a lot to help their peers initiate or sustain their own recovery.
Today, 30 grantees around the Nation are providing peer-to-peer recovery support services to individuals at every stage of recovery, their family members, and other allies. Directed by Catherine D. Nugent, M.S., the Program has three ultimate goals—to prevent relapse, promote recovery, and improve participants' quality of life.
"The recovery community has become a key player in the addiction, treatment, and recovery fields," said CSAT Director H. Westley Clark, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., noting that peer support complements professional treatment. "Recovery Community Services Program projects are paving the way to concrete improvements in the systems that serve people addicted to alcohol and other drugs. This is an exciting time," Dr. Clark said.
Back to Top
The concept of peer support has a long history within the alcohol and substance abuse treatment field. [For information about the parallel history of self-help within the mental health treatment field, see SAMHSA News, Spring 1997, "SAMHSA Responds to Growth of the Consumer Movement."]
Since its founding in 1935, for example, Alcoholics Anonymous has brought together millions of people who help each other attain and maintain sobriety. Narcotics Anonymous and similar groups have followed suit. Once the exclusive domain of highly trained professionals, the substance abuse treatment field now embraces self-help groups as a valuable option available to those who need help recovering from alcohol or substance abuse.
"Spending time with others helps create and strengthen those meaningful relationships that are part of our definition of recovery," said SAMHSA Administrator Charles G. Curie, M.A., A.C.S.W. "Our vision is based on the precept that all people deserve the opportunity for life that includes a job, a home, education, and meaningful relationships with family and friends—in short, a life in the community for everyone. That vision really is the antidote to the emptiness, isolation, and loneliness that weigh heavily on the hearts of people who suffer from addiction."
Underlying the Recovery Community Services Program and other peer-to-peer recovery support efforts is a conceptual framework based on three primary ideas. First, holistic, community-based support services play an important role in helping people sustain long-term recovery from chronic conditions such as alcoholism and substance use disorders. Second, recovery occurs along a "change continuum," and peers can help people move along the continuum by offering hope, motivation, and living proof that treatment works and recovery is possible. Third, social support—in the form of demonstrations of caring, offers of information, concrete assistance, or simple companionship—is important.
"Recovery is a life-long endeavor, but treatment programs end," explained Ms. Nugent, Senior Public Health Advisor in CSAT's Practice Improvement Branch. "People often need more support than they get from aftercare services or 12-step programs. By drawing on the abilities of people in recovery—and their desire to give something back—we can extend the continuum of recovery services available in the community."
For individuals seeking help, self-help groups offer support, information, and role models in a non-threatening, non-judgmental environment. But participation also helps people who have already recovered, Ms. Nugent stressed. "If you're acting as a role model for recovery, that's a relapse prevention strategy in and of itself," she said.

Most large-scale production database infrastructures involve multiple servers, multiple cores per CPU, gigabytes of memory and terabytes of disk storage. Databases deployed to serve specific applications and user communities frequently evolve into much larger, more strategic resources servicing numerous applications and multiple end user populations. DBAs and IT managers are continually challenged to meet application performance expectations in the face of this increasing demand, and to scale that performance reasonably as database usage evolves.

To submit an essay for My Story, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
By Anonymous
I am a competitive Ironman triathlete who is currently at risk for Huntington's Disease. Basically, because of this, I got into triathlons at age 26, after years of smoking. When I started, I was middle of the pack, or worse. I stuck with it from then on (I am 34, going to be 35 in August).
I'm training for my fourth Ironman (CDA) and feeling great. This may be my last Ironman.
Who am I?
I am a competitive Ironman triathlete who is currently at-risk for Huntington's Disease. I live with my lovely wife and near my family who are constant supporters. By day I am a professional, by morning and night, an athlete.
What is my story?
I was born to a loving mother and father and grew up in small town America. I had a normal childhood until age 11, when my father was diagnosed with Huntington's Disease. For the next 9 years I watched my father suffer from this insidious disease, all the while knowing that I had a 50% chance of inheriting the same disease. I might be watching my own demise. Knowing that my mother and father would want me to get as much out of life as possible, I gathered as much education and life experiences as I could. However, like most young individuals in my situation, I also chose to try and out-run HD. Eight years ago, I came to the realization that I could not out-run HD and would have to turn and fight it, with the same strength my father did.
Why Triathlons?
There is no cure for HD. However, exercise and good nutrition can help me squeeze precious minutes out of my life that I may not have otherwise. Triathlon affords me the training I need to be as fit as I can possibly be. Ironman is very similar to the fight against HD. It is long and arduous in which both physical and emotional pain can wreak havoc. Only the strong can survive.
Why at-risk?
There are many reasons why I have not as yet chosen to be tested such as job and insurance discrimination. For more discussion, please read my story.
Why anonymous?
Unfortunately, people in my situation can suffer job and insurance discrimination and therefore many of us cannot even speak out for ourselves. Also, my father and mother have always taught me to not let HD define me. So, I wish to not have HD define who I am, or how I am perceived as an athlete.

Yeah, I came to that same conclusion that on some maps the bevel/glows would be perfect to use, just not in this case is all. Good example is like when I start learning to do towns and such as you pointed out structures.
I had this same exact thought yesterday when doing the map and had several different elevation changes and considered perhaps coming up with some kind of standard for myself as to the size of the stroke and GBlur to give a better foundation as to the change. For now I figured when I sit down and write this process out I will make a note of it.
You have been tons of help, really appreciate it

An audiobook is a recording of a text being read. A reading of the complete text is noted as "unabridged", while readings of a reduced version, or abridgement of the text are labeled as "abridged".
Spoken audio has been available in schools and public libraries and to a lesser extent in music shops since the 1930s. Many spoken word albums were made prior to the age of videocassettes, DVDs, compact discs, and downloadable audio, however often of poetry and plays rather than books. It was not until the 1980s that the medium began to attract book retailers, and then book retailers started displaying audiobooks on bookshelves rather than in separate displays.
The term "talking book" came into being in the 1930s with government programs designed for blind readers, while the term "audiobook" came into use during the 1970s when audiocassettes began to replace records.[1] In 1994, the Audio Publishers Association established the term "audiobook" as the industry standard.[1]
Spoken word recordings first became possible with the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Edison in 1877.[1] "Phonographic books" were one of the original applications envisioned by Edison which would "speak to blind people without effort on their part."[1] The initial words spoken into the phonograph were Edison's recital of "Mary Had a Little Lamb", the first instance of recorded verse.[1] In 1878, a demonstration at the Royal Institution in Britain included "Hey Diddle Diddle, the Cat and the Fiddle" and a line of Tennyson's poetry thus establishing from the very beginning of the technology its association with spoken literature.[1]
United States[edit]
Beginnings to 1970[edit]
Many short, spoken word recordings were sold on cylinder in the late 1800s and early 1900s,[2] however the round cylinders were limited to about 4 minutes each making books impractical;[1] flat platters increased to 12 minutes but this too was impractical for longer works.[1] "One early listener complained that he would need a wheelbarrow to carry around talking books recorded on discs with such limited storage capacity."[1] By the 1930s close-grooved records increased to 20 minutes making possible longer narrative.[1]
In 1931, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and Library of Congress Books for the Adult Blind Project established the "Talking Books Program", which was intended to provide reading material for veterans injured during WWI and other visually impaired adults.[1] The first test recordings in 1932 including a chapter from Helen Keller's Midstream and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven".[1] The organization received congressional approval for exemption from copyright and free postal distribution of talking books.[1] The first recordings made for the Talking Books Program in 1934 included sections of the Bible; the Declaration of Independence and other patriotic documents; plays and sonnets by Shakespeare; and fiction by Gladys Hasty Carroll, E. M. Delafield, Cora Jarrett, Rudyard Kipling, John Masefield, and P. G. Wodehouse.[1]
In 1933 anthropologist J.P. Harrington drove the length of North America to record oral histories of Native American tribes on aluminum discs using a car battery-powered turntable. Audiobooks preserve the oral tradition of storytelling that J.P. Harrington pursued many years ago.[3] By 1935, after Congress approved free mailings of audio books to blind citizens, Books for the Adult Blind Project was in full operation.
Caedmon Records was a pioneer in the audiobook business, it was the first company dedicated to selling spoken work recordings to the public and has been called the "seed" of the audiobook industry.[4] Caedmon was formed in New York in 1952 by college graduates Barbara Holdridge and Marianne Roney.[4] Their first release was a collection of poems by Dylan Thomas as read by the author.[4] The LP's B-side contained A Child's Christmas in Wales which was added as an afterthought - the story was obscure and Thomas himself couldn't remember its title when asked what to use to fill up the B-side - but this recording went on to become one of his most loved works, and launched Caedmon into a successful company.[4] The original 1952 recording was a 2008 selection for the United States National Recording Registry, stating it is "credited with launching the audiobook industry in the United States".[5] Caedmon used LP records, invented in 1948, which made longer recordings more affordable and practical, however most of their works were poems, plays and other short works, not unabridged books due to the LP's limitation of about a 45-minute playing time (combined sides).
1970 to 1996[edit]
Though spoken recordings were popular in 33-1/3 vinyl record format for schools and libraries into the early 1970s, the beginning of the modern commercial market for audiobooks can be traced to the wide adoption of the cassette tape during the 1970s.[6] Cassette tapes were invented in 1963 and a few libraries, such as the Library of Congress, began distributing books on cassette by 1969.[6] However during the 1970s, a number of technological innovations allowed the cassette tape wider usage in libraries and also spawned the creation of new commercial audiobook market.[6] These innovations included the introduction of small and cheap portable players such as the Walkman, and the widespread use of cassette decks in cars, particularly imported Japanese models which flooded the market during the multiple energy crises of the decade.[6]
In the early 1970s, instructional recordings were among the first commercial products sold on cassette.[6] There were 8 companies distributing materials on cassette with titles such as Managing and Selling Companies (12-cassettes, $300) and Executive Seminar in Sound on a series of 60-minute cassettes.[6] In libraries, most books on cassette were still made for the blind and handicap, however some new companies saw the opportunity for making audiobooks for a wider audience, such as Voice Over Books which produced abridged best-sellers with professional actors.[6] Early pioneers included Olympic gold medalist Duvall Hecht who in 1975 founded the California-based Books on Tape as a direct to consumer mail order rental service for unabridged audiobooks and expanded their services selling their products to libraries and audiobooks gaining popularity with commuters and travelers.[6] In 1978, Henry Trentman, a traveling salesman who listened to sales tapes while driving long distances, had the idea to create quality unabridged recordings of classic literature read by professional actors.[7] His company, the Maryland-based Recorded Books, followed the model of Books on Tape but with higher quality studio recordings and actors.[7] Recorded Books and Chivers Audio Books were the first to develop integrated production teams and to work with professional actors.[8]
By 1984, there were eleven audiobook publishing companies, they included Caedmon, Metacom, Newman Communications, Recorded Books, Brilliance and Books on Tape.[6] The companies were small, the largest had a catalog of 200 titles.[6] Some abridged titles were being sold in bookstores, such as Walden Books, but had negligible sales figures, many were sold by mail-order subscription or through libraries.[6] However in 1984, Brilliance Audio invented a technique for recording twice as much on the same cassette thus allowing for affordable unabridged editions.[6] The technique involved recording on each of the two channels of each stereo track.[6] This opened the market to new opportunities and by September 1985, Publishers Weekly identified twenty-one audiobook publishers.[6] These included new major publishers such as Harper and Row, Random House, and Warner Communications.[6]
1986 has been identified as the turning point in the industry, when it matured from an experimental curiosity.[6] A number of events happened: the Audio Publishers Association, a professional non-profit trade association, was established by publishers who joined together to promote awareness of spoken word audio and provide industry statistic.[6] Time-Life began offering members audiobooks.[6] Book-of-the-Month club began offering audiobooks to its members, as did the Literary Guild. Other clubs such as the History Book Club, Get Rich Club, Nostalgia Book Club, Scholastic club for children all began offering audiobooks.[6] Publishers began releasing religious and inspirational titles in Christian bookstores. By May 1997, Publishers Weekly initiated a regular column to cover the industry.[6] By the end of 1987, the audiobook market was estimated to be a $200 million market, and audiobooks on cassette were being sold in 75% of regional and independent bookstores surveyed by Publishers Weekly.[6] By August 1988 there were forty audiobook publishers, about four times as many as in 1984.[6]
By the middle of 1990s, the audio publishing business grew to 1.5 billion dollars a year in retail value.[9] In 1996, the Audio Publishers Association established the Audie Awards for audio books, which is equivalent to the Oscar for the talking books industry. The nominees are announced each year in January. The winners are announced at a gala banquet in the spring, usually in conjunction with BookExpo America.[10]
1996 to present[edit]
With the advent of the Internet, broadband technologies, new compressed audio formats and portable media players, the popularity of audiobooks has increased significantly during the late 1990s and 2000s. In 1997, Audible.com pioneered the world's first mass-market digital media player, named "The Audible Player",[11] it retailed for $200, held 2-hours of audio and was touted as being "smaller and lighter than a Walkman", the popular cassette player used at the time.[12] Digital audiobooks were a significant new milestone as they allowed listeners freedom from physical media such as cassettes and CD-ROMs which required transportation through the mail, allowing instead instant download access from online libraries of unlimited size, and portability using comparatively small and lightweight devices. Audible.com was the first to establish a website, in 1998, from which digital audiobooks could be purchased.
Another innovation was the creation of LibriVox in 2005 by Montreal-based writer Hugh McGuirewho posed the question on his blog: "Can the net harness a bunch of volunteers to help bring books in the public domain to life through podcasting?" Thus began the creation of free audiobooks by volunteer narrators. By the end of 2012, LibriVox had a catalogue of over 6,244 unabridged books and was producing dozens of new books per month.
The evolution and use of audiobooks in Germany closely parallels that of the US. A special example of its use is the West German Audio Book Library for the Blind, founded in 1955. Actors from the municipal theater in Münster recorded the first audio books for the visually impaired in an improvised studio lined with egg cartons. Because trams rattled past, these first productions took place at night. Later, texts were recorded by trained speakers in professional studios and distributed to users by mail. Until the 1970s recordings were on tape reels, then later cassettes. Since 2004, the offerings have been recorded in the DAISY Digital Talking Book MP3 standard, which provides additional features for visually impaired users to both listen and navigate written material aurally.[13]
Audiobooks in India started to take shape a little later as compared to the rest of the world. Only by 2010 did Audiobooks gain popularity in the Indian market, despite the fact that India has the second largest English speaking population and publishes the third highest number of English books in the world. This is primarily due to lack of previous organised efforts on the part of publishers and authors. The marketing efforts and availability of Audiobooks has made India as one of the fastest growing Audiobooks markets in the world[citation needed] .
The lifestyle of urban Indian population and one of the highest daily commute time in world has also helped in making Audiobooks popular in the region. Business and Self Help books have widespread appeal and have been more popular than fiction/non-fiction.[citation needed] This is because Audiobooks are primarily seen as an avenue for self-improvement and education, rather than entertainment.
Producing an audiobook consists of a narrator sitting in a recording booth reading the text, while a studio engineer and a director record and direct the performance.[14] If a mistake is made the recording is stopped and the narrator reads it again.[14]
Narrators are usually paid on a finished recorded hour basis, meaning if it took 20 hours to produce a 5 hour book, the narrator is paid for 5 hours, thus providing an incentive not to make mistakes.[14] Depending on the narrator they are paid US$150 per finished hour to US$400 (as of 2011[update]).[14] The overall cost to produce an audiobook can vary significantly, as longer books require more studio time and more well known narrators come at a premium. The total cost can range from US$5,000 at the minimum to many tens of thousands (as of 2011[update]).[citation needed][14]
Audiobooks are distributed on cassette tapes, CDs, MP3 CDs, downloadable digital formats (e.g., MP3 (.mp3), Windows Media Audio (.wma), Advanced Audio Coding (.aac)), and solid state preloaded digital devices in which the audio content is preloaded and sold together with a hardware device.
In 1955 a German inventor introduced the Sound Book cassette system based on the Tefifon format where instead of a magnetic tape the words and sounds were recorded on a continuous loop of grooved vinylite ribbon similar to the old 8-track tape. Even though the original Tefifon upon which it was based ran at 19 CPS and could hold a maximum of 4 hours, one Sound Book could hold eight hours of recordings as it ran at half the speed or 9.5 CPS. However, just like the Tefifon, the format never became widespread in use.[15]
In 2005, cassette tape sales were 16% of the audiobook market,[16] with CD sales accounting for 74% of the market and downloadable audio books accounting for approximately 9%. In the United States, a sales survey (performed by the Audio Publishers' Association in the summer of 2006 for the year 2005) estimated the industry to be worth 871 million US dollars.[clarification needed]
A small number of books are recorded for radio broadcast, usually in abridged form and sometimes serialized, notably by the BBC. The advent of the Internet has introduced powerful means of delivery for audiobooks; many titles are now available on-line (for download on to computers, tablets, and phones, or one may listen to website audio streams without having to download anything).
Audiobooks may come as fully dramatized versions of the printed book, sometimes calling upon a complete cast, music, and sound effects. A dramatized audio adaptation of a book is effectively an audio drama.
Sometimes audiobook format is available simultaneously with book publication.
Distribution and popularity[edit]
Recent technology has encouraged the proliferation of free audiobooks that take works from the public domain and enlist volunteers to read them. Audiobooks also can be created with text to speech computer software, although the quality of synthesized speech may suffer by comparison to recordings by a human voice. On the other hand, computer-voiced reading enables the proliferation of more works faster through automation, than if read by humans.
Audiobooks in the private domain are also distributed online by for-profit companies. Until recently, major audiobook publishers required that their works be protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), when sold as downloads, but this is no longer the case. Companies such as Apple Inc. have licensed their proprietary FairPlay DRM system (for DRM protection of iPod files in the .aa file format) to only one company.[17] Because of the long-standing major publishers' insistence on DRM, this effectively created a monopoly in the sale of the works of major publishers to iPod users, who make up the majority of the portable audio market.[18]
Audiobooks on cassette or CD are typically more expensive than hardcovers because of the added expense of recording and the lack of the economy of scale in high "print" runs that are available in the publishing of printed books. Downloadable audiobooks tend to cost slightly less than hardcovers but more than their paperback equivalents. Market penetration of audiobooks is substantially lower than for their printed counterparts despite the high market penetration of the hardware (MP3 and WMA players) and despite the massive market penetration achieved by audio music products.
However, there are certain economies of scale that favor downloadable audiobooks. Downloadable audiobooks do not carry mass production costs, do not require storage of a large inventory, do not require physical packaging or transportation and even if "returned" do not require a cost of physical return or destruction/disposal. If such economies were passed on to customers, unit profit margins would be reduced but sales volumes would increase. It is not known what effect this would have on book sales in other formats.
Audiobook production and sales have been on the rise. At the end of 2013, the Audio Publishers Association released a report on audiobook sales. Publishers who shared data indicated that 6 million more audiobooks were sold in 2012 than in 2011. Production of audiobooks had also nearly doubled within that year, from 7,237 in 2011, to 13,255 in 2012. In addition to this, the return of audiobooks was down 16.7%, setting an all-time low for returns as percentages of overall gross sales.[19]
Audiobooks have been used to teach children to read and to increase reading comprehension. They are also useful for the blind. The National Library of Congress in the U.S. and the CNIB Library in Canada provide free audiobook library services to the visually impaired; requested books are mailed out (at no cost) to clients. Founded in 1996, Assistive Media of Ann Arbor, Michigan was the first organization to produce and deliver spoken-word recordings of written journalistic and literary works via the Internet to serve people with visual impairments.
About forty percent of all audiobook consumption occurs through public libraries, with the remainder served primarily through retail book stores. Library download programs are currently experiencing rapid growth (more than 5,000 public libraries offer free downloadable audio books). Libraries are also popular places to check out audio books in the CD format.[20] According to the National Endowment for the Arts' recent study, "Reading at Risk", audio book listening is one of very few "types" of reading that is increasing general literacy.
Listening practices[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2009) |
Audiobooks are considered a valuable learning tool because of their format. Unlike traditional books or a video program, one can learn from an audiobook while doing other tasks, although it should be noted that this can detract from the primary task, assuming the learning is not the main activity. Such multitasking is feasible when doing mechanical tasks that do not require much thought and have only little or no chance of an emergency arising. Such tasks include doing the laundry and exercising indoors, among others. The most popular general use of audiobooks by adults is when driving an automobile or traveling with public transport, as an alternative to radio. Many people listen as well just to relax or as they drift off into sleep.
Common practices include:
- Replaying: Depending upon one's degree of attention and interest, it is often necessary to listen to segments of an audio book more than once to allow the material to be understood and retained satisfactorily. Replaying may be done immediately or after extended periods of time.
- Learning: People may listen to an audio book (usually an unabridged one) while following along in an actual book. This helps them to learn words that they may not learn correctly if they were only to read the book. This can also be a very effective way to learn a new language.
Audiobook nonprofits in the United States[edit]
Founded in 1948, Learning Ally serves more than 300,000 K-12, college and graduate students, veterans and lifelong learners – all of whom cannot read standard print due to blindness, visual impairment, dyslexia, or other learning disabilities. Learning Ally's collection of more than 80,000 human-narrated textbooks and literature titles can be downloaded on mainstream smartphones and tablets, and is the largest of its kind in the world.
Founded in 2002, Bookshare is an online library of computer-read audiobooks in accessible formats for people with print disabilities.
Audiobook charities in the UK[edit]
Listening Books is an audiobook charity in the UK providing an internet streaming and postal service to anyone who has a disability or illness which makes it difficult to hold a book, turn its pages, or read in the usual way. They have audiobooks for both leisure and learning and a library of over 4,000 titles which are recorded in their own digital studios or commercially sourced.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is a UK charity which offers a Talking Books library service. The audio books are provided in DAISY format and delivered to the reader's house by post. There are over 18,000 audio books available to borrow, paid for by annual subscription. RNIB subsidises the Talking Books service by around £4 million a year.[21]
Calibre Audio Library is a UK charity providing a subscription-free service of unabridged audiobooks for people with sight problems, dyslexia or other disabilities, who cannot read print. They have a library of over 8,550 fiction and non-fiction titles which can be borrowed by post on MP3 CDs and memory sticks or via streaming.[22]
In popular culture[edit]
In the Mad Men (season 6) episode, "The Man With a Plan", Bob Benson was shown listening to the audio version of Frank Bettger's book How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling, on a phonograph in his office. The citation includes a link to a screenshot of him with the book in his lap.[23]

Sainte-Mère-Église is a commune in the Manche department in Normandy in north-western France.
Founded in the eleventh century, the earliest records (1080–1082) include the name Sancte Marie Ecclesia, Latin for "Church of St. Mary", while a later document written in Norman-French (1317) mentions Saincte Mariglise. The current French form of the name is ambiguous, with the additional meaning, "Holy Mother Church". The town was significantly involved in the Hundred Years' War as well as the Wars of Religion.
The town's main claim to fame is that it played a significant part in the World War II Normandy landings because this village stood right in the middle of route N13, which the Germans would have most likely used on any significant counterattack on the troops landing on Utah and Omaha Beaches. In the early morning of 6 June 1944 mixed units of the U.S. 82nd Airborne and U.S. 101st Airborne Divisions occupied the town in Operation Boston, giving it the claim to be one of the first towns liberated in the invasion.
D-Day battle[edit]
The early landings, at about 0140 directly on the town, resulted in heavy casualties for the paratroopers. Some buildings in town were on fire that night, and they illuminated the sky, making easy targets of the descending men. Some were sucked into the fire. Many hanging from trees and utility poles were shot before they could cut loose. The German defenders were alerted.
A famous incident involved paratrooper John Steele of the 505th PIR, whose parachute caught on the spire of the town church, and could only observe the fighting going on below. He hung there limply for two hours, pretending to be dead, before the Germans took him prisoner. Steele later escaped from the Germans and rejoined his division when US troops of the 3rd Battalion, 505 Parachute Infantry Regiment attacked the village, capturing thirty Germans and killing another eleven. The incident was portrayed in the movie The Longest Day by actor Red Buttons.
Later that morning, about 0500, a force led by Lt. Colonel Edward C. Krause of the 505th PIR took the town with little resistance. Apparently the German garrison was confused and had retired for the rest of the night. However, heavy German counterattacks began later in the day and into the next. The lightly armed troops held the town until reinforced by tanks from nearby Utah Beach in the afternoon of 7 June.
Krause and Lt. Colonel Benjamin H. Vandervoort both received the Distinguished Service Cross for their actions in the capture of the town. Sgt. George Bowler Tullidge III received the Bronze Star, and a collection of Bible verses and of his letters home, A Paratrooper's Faith, was distributed throughout the 82nd Airborne by his parents following his death until the 1990s.
Henry Langrehr was also involved in the capture of Sainte-Mère-Église. He crashed through a greenhouse roof, as retold in the movie The Longest Day. On 6 November 2007 he received, along with five other men, the Legion of Honor medal from the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Tourism in Sainte-Mère-Église today centers on its role in the D-Day invasion. There are many small museums (such as the Airborne Museum) and World War II-related giftshops and eating places. A dummy paratrooper hangs from the church spire, commemorating the story of John Steele.
Behind the church is a spring, believed by pilgrims to have healing powers, dedicated to Saint Mewan (Saint Méen).
