UNWTO Input to the UN system contribution to Rio+20
1. Member States, the international community and the United Nations (UN) system will gather in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, also known as ?Rio+20?, in June 2012, to ?secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assess the progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development, and address new and emerging challenges?, (paragraph 20 (a) of UN General Assembly Resolution 64/236), and that such a conference is relevant and important to all countries, developing and developed alike.
2. The concept of sustainable tourism has its roots in the early nineties. At the first Earth Summit held in Rio in 1992 and in the ensuing Agenda 21 process, travel and tourism was one of the industries identified as having the potential to make a positive contribution to a healthier planet.
3. The principles established in the Rio Declaration served as the basis for the progressive development of the sustainable tourism concept. Expressed simply sustainable tourism can be defined as ?Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities? (UNWTO, 2004).
Tourism1 and Sustainable Development
4. A key component of the vision for Rio+20 should be to achieve a transition to a green economy by promoting the adaptation of major sectors of the world economy, including the productive and services sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, infrastructure, transport and tourism towards longer‐term sustainability.
5. This involves the establishment of a policy framework and implementing programmes that promote the transition and adaptation in the leading sectors to engender sustainable consumption and production patterns around the world, while aiming at achieving development goals.
6. Tourism, a labor intensive sector that creates millions of jobs worldwide, attracts significant foreign income and investment, and is one of the most promising drivers of green growth for the world economy.
7. The Tourism sector worldwide, with its many linkages to a wide range of other services, agriculture and manufacturing industries, offers tremendous opportunity for promoting sustainable practices, decent work and is projected to grow significantly over the coming decade. Sustainable tourism supported by the three pillars (social justice, economic development, and environmental integrity) requires therefore a unified and coordinated approach through the UN system?s work as well as the private sector.

8. Tourism can make a significant contribution to address economic, climate and poverty imperatives. Tourism (international and domestic) represents today 5% of the world?s GDP and 30% of the global exports of services, a share which is even higher in developing countries, including the Least‐Developed Countries and Island Developing States. As one of the world?s largest employment sectors, it generates1in 12 jobs worldwide.
9. The transformation in 2003 of the World Tourism Organization into a Specialized Agency of the United Nations reinforced the notion of tourism as a fundamental sector which can be harnessed to achieve economic and social progress.
10. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has answered the call to make tourism a vehicle to foster growth and development, while aiming to achieve the MDGs by the target date of 2015. By promoting the development of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism UNWTO endeavors to maximize tourism?s contribution to socio‐economic growth, job creation, development, environmental conservation, cultural enrichment and international understanding, while minimizing negative social, cultural or environmental impacts2.Most importantly, because of its cross‐cutting nature, sustainable tourism can address meaningfully a range of priority issues identified, in the context of sustainable development at Rio+20. Among these are: energy, water, oceans, green jobs, sustainable cities, sustainable agriculture and food security, disaster risk reduction, and investing in health, education, Youth, gender equality and women?s empowerment.
11. To this end, UNWTO has worked on a number of existing and new initiatives that can serve as good examples of what can be accomplished, thus helping to underpin the Rio+20negotiations and roadmap for implementation.
Towards a Green Economy: Pathways to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication
12. Tourism has been identified within the Green Economy debate as one of ten sectors, alongside manufacturing or energy among others, which can lead the transformation to this new model. According to the 2011 Green Economy Report3, tourism is one of the most promising drivers of growth for the world economy and, with the appropriate investment, can continue to grow steadily over the coming decades, contributing to much‐needed economic growth, employment and development while mitigating its environmental impacts.
13. The correct investment in innovation and green strategies would allow the sector to continue to expand steadily over the coming decades while ensuring significant environmental benefits such as reductions in water consumption (18%), energy use (44%) and CO2 emissions (52%) are possible, as compared with a ?business‐as‐usual? scenario.
14. In addition, green tourism would stimulate job creation, especially in poorer communities, with increased local hiring and sourcing and a positive spill‐over effect on other areas of the economy. The direct economic contribution of tourism to local communities would also be increased,maximizing the amount of tourist4 spending that is retained by the local economy.
Climate change and tourism
15. The tourism sector is highly dependent on climatic conditions and already suffers from the impacts of global warming. Higher temperatures, beach erosion, sea level rise, increase in extreme meteorological events, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, etc. negatively influence tourism destinations and require challenging adaptation efforts.
16. At the same time tourism is also responsible for 5% of the world's CO2 emissions, mainly originated from transport and to a less extent by accommodation, accounting for 1%. This is a comparatively small, yet important, footprint that the tourism sector has assumed as a priority to be addressed.
17. The UNWTO led ?Davos process on climate change and tourism? named after an international conference held in 2007, has assembled a variety of different stakeholders in order to find ways to respond as a sector to the climate change challenges while facilitating research, knowledge development, capacity building and awareness on the interrelations between climate change and tourism.
Hotel Energy Solutions (HES)5
18. In response to the challenge of climate change, the Hotel Energy Solutions (HES) project aims to increase energy efficiency in European small and medium hotels by 20% and their use of renewable energies by 10%, demonstrating that economic growth and sustainability can, and should, go hand‐in‐hand.
19. Hotel Energy Solutions, a UNWTO‐initiated project, was made possible with the support of the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme and thanks to the close partnership with UNEP, IH&RA, EREC and ADEME.
20. Protection of biodiversity and natural resources is a core element of sustainable tourism. Biodiversity is under pressure worldwide, and has suffered severe losses as more land is converted for human use from a natural state, and as these human uses become more intensive. Because ecosystem services and biodiversity are vital for tourism, it is critical for destinations and the tourism sector to protect them as valuable assets that contribute to the long‐term success of tourism.
21. UNWTO has long recognized biodiversity as an important issue for tourism, and has an ongoing collaboration with the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The lessons from projects undertaken by UNWTO are that the CBD Guidelines on Biodiversity and Tourism Development provide an effective framework for integrating tourism with biodiversity protection, and for addressing the biodiversity and ecosystem service components of sustainable tourism.
A new Institutional Framework for achieving Sustainable Development
22. As an innovative approach to Delivering as One UN, UNWTO has jointly created a global partnership with eight Organizations (ILO, ITC, UNCTAD, UNDP, UNEP, UNESCO, UNIDO and WTO) in the Steering Committee on Tourism for Development (SCTD) which is committed to promoting sustainable tourism for job creation and poverty eradication. Open to the participation of other UN entities, the Committeeaims to raise international awareness of tourism as an instrument for development and maximize its role in helping countries reach their development goals through tourism.
23. By joining forces, the nine UN entities which constitute the Committeewill be better positioned to provide the necessary technical assistance and support to developing countries? needs. This integrated approach reflects the importance of mainstreaming efforts from a number of UN entities. It will bring coherence to the coordinated efforts of the UN System in the area of tourism for development, and thereby build on the comparative advantages of each Agency.
24. While building the capacity for an efficient delivery, the SCTD aims tocreate a Multi‐Partnerships Trust Fund for Tourism for the next decade.
UNWTO Sustainable Tourism ? Eliminating Poverty (ST‐EP)6 Initiative
25. While tourism has grown more rapidly in developing than in developed countries, mechanisms have to be identified and applied to ensure that its economic and social benefits reach the local communities and the more vulnerable segments of the populations.
26. The UNWTO ST‐EP Initiative was launched in 2002 at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. The Initiative focuses on enhancing the Organization?s longstanding work to developing and promoting sustainable forms of tourism ? including social, economic and environmental aspects ? with activities that specifically alleviate poverty, delivering development and jobs to people living on less than a dollar a day. The Government of the Republic of Korea was a pioneer partner in the launching of the ST‐EP Initiative, by offering an initial contribution of US$ 5 million to host and establish the UNWTO ST‐EP Foundation in Seoul. In addition to the Republic of Korea and the ST‐EP Foundation, a number of important donors from the public and private sector have offered their financial and in‐kind support to the ST‐EP Initiative.
27. UNWTO is undertaking a number of activities to materialize the ST‐EP Initiative. In close collaboration with its Member States, and with the support received for the ST‐EP Programme, 100 ST‐EP projects have already been approved for implementation, benefiting 33 developing countries. 69 projects have already been successfully completed. The value of the total ST‐EP project portfolio is over US$ 10 million. These projects aim to create examples of how sustainable forms of tourism can make a tangible contribution to poverty reduction.
28. The ST‐EP projects focus on a wide range of activities, such as training of local guides and hotel employees, facilitating the involvement of local people in tourism development around natural and cultural heritage sites, establishing business linkages between poor producers and tourism enterprises, and providing business and financial services to small, medium and community based tourism enterprises. In accordance with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, the ST‐EP projects are formulated in collaboration with the National Tourism Administrations, in line with their tourism policies as well as the countries? poverty reduction strategies. With the goal of maximizing impact on the ground, the project targets and results are planned and measured at output, outcome and impact level, using the UN results‐based management approach.
Looking Ahead
29. In a renewed commitment for Aid Effectiveness, more resources will have to be secured from the traditional donors and from the civil society and the private sector.Increased investments and concerted greener policies can steer the growth of the sector toward a more sustainable path, generating economic benefits, contributing to job creation and poverty reduction, while improving resource efficiency and responding effectively to environmental challenges.
Mainstreaming tourism in the global and national development agendas should aim to:
(1) Strengthen the contribution of tourism to the sustainable development agenda; acknowledging that economic, social and environmental objectives are not independent variables and thus work to foster the integration of tourism in national policies across the economic, environmental and social pillars is essential;
(2) Enhance the role of tourism to contribute towards the achievement of the MDGs, a more balanced and fairer economic growth, and above all, accelerating sustainable development, thereby expanding the reach of the benefits of tourism to a larger segment of the world population;
(3) Advance tourism?s role in stimulating the global economy, enhancing employment, creating decent jobs, alleviating poverty, supporting development, and transforming progressively into a greener, more sustainable and low‐carbon economy, as well as improving resilience and preparedness against economic or natural shocks;
(4) Call upon governments that can make a major contribution to achievement of international biodiversity goals by ensuring that legislation is in place, and enforced, that enables and supports the sustainability of tourism, including protection of biodiversity. In particular, land use planning and development controls at national and destination levels can be used to influence the location and type of new and existing tourism activities and to control potentially harmful development.
(5) Engage governments and partners with the international community, in order to put in place the right conditions and International Aid, financial incentives to foster the achievement of the MDGs and the advancement towards a greener economy;
(6) Call upon the international community, governments, businesses and communities to put in place enabling conditions that will facilitate the promotion of effective development policies and green tourism scenarios and ensure the identification and channeling of additional private and public strategies and resources.
30. UNWTO is committed to work in favour of the integration of tourism into the process and outcomes of the forthcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Brazil, 4‐6 June 2012)as a sector that, given its horizontal nature, can deliver on many priority issues which have emerged that warrant particular attention in the context of sustainable development at the Conference. The year 2012 will also be special year for tourism worldwide; it will be the year which international tourist arrivals will surpass the1 billionmark.
Enclosed: Annex ? Background Note
Background Note ‐
1. The Rio +20 Conference (4‐6 June 2012) will take place 20 years after the UN Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, where countries adopted Agenda 21 ? a blueprint to rethink economic growth, better protect and manage ecosystems and create a safer, more prosperous future ? and ten years after the World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002), also known as the Johannesburg Summit.
2. As the world looks for new paradigms of growth and development which are conductive of a fairer and more balanced society and within the framework of the two main themes at the Rio+20 Conference: (a) a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication; and (b) the institutional framework for sustainable development, UNWTO presents a review of the progress achieved to date and the challenges ahead on sustainable tourism and sustainable development.
Sustainable Tourism
3. It was not until the early nineties, and particularly since the first Earth Summitthat the concept of sustainable tourism developed. Agenda 21 was one of its main outcomes as a project meant to stimulate action from all segments of society in the 21st century. Travel and tourism was one of the only industries identified in Agenda 21 as having the potential to make a positive contribution to a healthier planet.
4. In 1995, the World Tourism Organization, jointly with the World Travel & Tourism Council and the Earth Council, assessed the impact of Agenda 21 and the results were published in the report, Agenda 21 for the Travel & Tourism Industry‐Towards Environmentally Sustainable Development, which contains priority areas for action and analyses the strategic and economic importance of the sector and demonstrates the enormous benefits in making the whole industry sustainable. It includes ten priorities for governments to be followedwhen drafting and implementing their sustainable tourism programmes and ten priority action areas for private enterprises.
5. The principles established in the Rio Declaration also served as the basis for the progressive development of UNWTO's sustainable tourism programme, which in 1995 defined sustainable tourism as "one that meets the needs of present tourists and of the host regions while protecting and promoting opportunities for the future. It is conceived as a way to manage all the resources so that they can meet the economic, social and aesthetic, while respecting the cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems?.
6. The Johannesburg Summit emphasized for the first time the importance of the sustainable tourism for poverty reduction, the protection of the environment and of cultural heritage. It was in fact the first time thattourism?s role in the global sustainable development agenda was made explicit with the inclusion of tourism in the Joint Programme of Implementation emerging from Johannesburg.
7. Overall, since the Rio Summit in 1992, and particularly since the Johannesburg Summit in 2002, significant progress has been made in a number of areas related to sustainable tourism, including environmental sustainability, climate change, social inclusion or gender equality. Nonetheless, much is still to be achieved.
8. The advancement of sustainable tourism, one which establishes a suitable balance between the environmental, economic and socio‐cultural aspects of tourism development, lies at the heart of UNWTO programmes of work and builds on the Plan of Implementation agreed upon at the Johannesburg Summit, in pursuit of the MDGs and in the framework of the Global Code of Ethics for Tourism.
9. Tourism is a key source of economic income and strong contributor to job creation, particularly for developing and emerging economies, and one of the fastest growing industries worldwide.In spite of the various crises that affected tourist movements in the recent years, and especially the current economic recession, the tourism industry has shown resilience, fared better than many other sectors and is expected to show continuos growth for the next 20 years.
10. Sustainable tourism plays also an important role as a powerful tool for sustainable development and cultural diversity and as key contributor to local economies worldwide and is committed to make sustainability‐encompassed by three pillars: social, economic and environmental‐ lie at the heart of tourism development worldwide.
11. The contribution of tourism to sustainable development is increasingly recognized. UNWTO has actively promoted a sustainability approach in the development of tourism policies worldwide and implemented and supported global initiatives for sustainability in the tourism sector. Investing in a sustainable tourism and the sustainable management of natural resources reflects also for the UNWTO, the commitment to a green economy as a creator of an economic growth, social progress and environmental sustainability.
12. Some additional UNWTO initiatives that can serve as good examples of what can be accomplished, thus helping to underpin the Rio+20 negotiations:
Tourism and the Green Economy
13. A core element of the Green Economy Initiative launched by the UN in 2009 is the Green Economy Report (GER) which looks beyond a short term response to the financial and economic crisis. The GER makes a case for, and provides guidance on investing in specific environmentally significant sectors, such as tourism, as a medium and long‐term economic strategy. The Green Economy Report ? Towards a Green Economy: Pathways to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication, features a chapter specifically on Tourism ? identified as one of the 10 key sectors identified within the Green Economy debate as one of ten sectors, alongside manufacturing or energy, which can lead the transformation to this new model.1
14. According to the 2011 Green Economy Report, tourism is one of the most promising drivers of growth for the world economy and, with the appropriate investment, can continue to grow steadily over the coming decades, contributing to much‐needed economic growth, employment and development while mitigating its environmental impacts.
Hotel Energy Solutions (HES)2? Fostering innovation to fight climate change in the accommodation sector
15. In a world looking for new models of economic growth and development, fighting climate change and adopting sustainable management practices is no longer an option, but a condition for survival and success.
16. The HES project,a UNWTO‐initiated project, with the support of the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme and close partnership with UNEP, IH&RA, EREC and ADEME, aims to increase energy efficiency in European small and medium hotels their use of renewable energies.
17. The HES E‐toolkit, an innovative mitigation and investment software ? available online ? for the tourism accommodation sector, will empower and guide hotels to better understand their energy consumption and show them how to improve energy management and cut costs, thus moving towards a greener economy.
18. While designed initially for EU Members in‐line with EU Energy Policies, the project is expected to be adapted and rolled‐out globally over the coming years. Once adapted, the project will benefit hotels worldwide, thus contributing to climate change mitigation and ensuring the economic and environmental sustainability of the sector.
Steering Committee on Tourism for Development (SCTD): Delivering as one for Tourism
19. UNWTO has partnered with eight organizations (ILO; ITC; UNCTAD; UNDP; UNEP; UNESCO; UNIDO and WTO) in the SCTD which is committed to promoting sustainable tourism for job creation and poverty eradication. The Committee will aim to raise international awareness of tourism as an instrument for development and maximize its role in helping countries reach their development goals through tourism.

Sustainable Tourism ? Eliminating Poverty (ST‐EP) Initiative
20. The UNWTO ST‐EP Initiative focuses on activities that specifically alleviate poverty, delivering development and jobs to people in local communities.
21. UNWTO has organized in the framework of the ST‐EP initiativetwenty‐four regional and national training seminars on tourism and poverty reduction, in order to build capacities among public officials, NGOs, the private sector and communities in developing countries, with a total participation of over 2,000 officials so far. Continuous research activity by UNWTO has led to the publication of five reports, providing evidence of the impact of tourism in reducing poverty levels, as well as recommendations on how to maximize these impacts.
22. Active collaboration with other international organizations, with a view of creating appropriate synergies and widening the scope of beneficiaries from its activities, has been also of great importance for UNWTO towards implementing the objectives of Agenda 21 and towards mainstreaming tourism in the global development agenda.
23. Given its horizontal nature, tourism is a sector that can deliver on many priority issues which have emerged which warrant particular attention in the context of sustainable development: energy, water, oceans, green jobs, sustainable cities, sustainable agriculture and food security, education, Youth, gender equality and improved resilience and preparedness.
Sustainability for the tourism industry
24. The tourism sector, if managed properly, has the capacity to act as indicator of progress in sustainability. Jointly with the UN Foundation, UNEP and the Rainforest Alliance, UNWTO launched the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC) at the World Conservation Congress in October 2008. The GSTC are a set of 37 voluntary standards and represent an effort to reach a common understanding of sustainable tourism These criteria constitute a critical step towards ensuring sustainability as the standard practice for the entire tourism industry and represent an important part of the response of the tourism community to the global challenges of poverty alleviation and biodiversity conservation. UNWTO is also one of the founding partners and a permanent member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) established in 2010, as a body aimed at the dissemination and application of the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria.
25. UNWTO participates in the Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism, an initiative that resulted from the International Task Force on Sustainable Tourism Development. UNWTO is a permanent member of the steering committee of the Partnership. This UN Type II Partnership under the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) aims at mainstreaming sustainability into all aspects of tourism policy, development and operations, as well as disseminating and replicating successful initiatives from all around the world. The Partnership aims at identifying and disseminating successful initiatives from all around the world and replicating them.
26. UNWTO, responding to the need of an efficient water resources management, has actively promoted the use of sustainable tourism indicators as planning and management instruments in order to monitor tourism impacts at destination and company level. Furthermore, several UNWTO?s publications, such as Climate Change and Tourism ? Responding to Global Challenges? and ?Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation in the Tourism Sector: Frameworks, Tools and Practices? , embrace related water issues, such as water availability and conservation, drinking water quality and sewage treatment, among others.
27. In order to stress the relevance of water for the tourism sector and to contribute to the common efforts of the UN, in January 2009 UNWTO became member of UN‐Water, which was set up in 2003 with the aim to achieve a better coordination of the UN system in its effort to work more effectively on water and sanitation issues, which are among the most urgent challenges of our time.
Sustainable agriculture and food security
28. Tourism development is increasingly viewed as an important tool in promoting economic growth, reducing poverty and advancing food security. Tourism has become one of the major players in international commerce, and represents at the same time one of the main income sources for many developing countries, which haveincreased their participation in the global economy through the development of their tourism industry.
29. This has also helped to create economic and employment benefits in many related sectors, such as for instance agriculture.The contribution of tourism to economic well‐being depends on the quality and the revenues of the tourism offer. UNWTO assists destinations in their sustainable positioning in ever more complex national and international markets. As the UN agency dedicated to tourism, UNWTO points out that particularly developing countries stand to benefit from sustainable tourism and acts to help make this a reality.
Investing in education, Youth and gender equality and women?s empowerment
30. Tourism presents immense opportunities for Youth and women?s employment and income‐generation, setting the foundations for poverty reduction and local economic development. In order for these opportunities to materialized, tourism activities must respect the principle of gender equality as set out in the Global Code of Ethic for Tourism.
31. UNWTO and UN Women, work closely to bring gender issues to the forefront of tourism and highlight the opportunities the sector offers to advance the issue of gender globally. Earlier this year, the two UN agencies released the first ?Global Report on Women in Tourism? in which tourism is identified as a sector providing important economic empowerment and leadership opportunities for women. It nevertheless alerts to the need to work more to attain equality, as women are often ?concentrated in low‐skill, low‐paid and precarious jobs? and typically earn ?10% to 15% less than their male counterparts?.
32. Developing highly qualified and well trained human resources in the public and private sectors to develop, manage and serve the industry in a sustainable and competitive manner in accordance with international standards is of great important for UNWTO and the organization regularly conducts training sessions and capacity building activities on manpower planning, tourism awareness, curricula development and other related issues.
33. Education and capacity building are given a high priority and is often implemented by the UNWTO Themis Foundation, which has been assigned the main responsibility in this area and which regularly conducts courses and capacity building activities held in the various regions and covering key areas such as on statistics and tourism satellite account (TSA), marketing and promotion, sustainable development, etc.
34. The UNWTO Knowledge Network ? a community of knowledge in scientific, technological and procedural matters related to tourism‐ launched in September 2010, was launched to support UNWTO and its member states by fostering innovation and knowledge management and programmes in all matters concerning tourism analysis, policy, governance and operations.
Improved resilience and disaster preparedness
35. Tourism is a highly sensitive activity to natural disasters, terrorism and crisis. It is also highly sensitive and heavily dependent on perceptions of danger and lack of safety and security; therefore the integration of tourism and emergency management is an important issue for the organization. The UNWTO assist members to assess and mitigate risks related to tourism, as well as in the developing, planning and implementation of crisis management systems that will reduce the impact of and assist in the recovery from crises.
36. It also aims at advancing cooperation to include tourism as an integral element of national resilience and disaster management planning. Many activities have been developed on measures to facilitate international travel, support members in identifying and mitigating global and local risks related to tourism, coordinating with the United Nations in order to ensure consistent and common approach and on improving members? capacity to develop, plan and implement crisis management systems.
III. Challenges ahead
37. Green economy should be understood not only as a system compatible with the natural environment but also as socially just, respecting the rights of poor countries and poor people to development and within the framework of the sustainable development concept and principles.
38. By putting in placethe right conditions and financial incentives governments can greatly contribute to the transition to a green economy, which will bring along far more opportunities and benefits, particularly on environment and poverty reduction efforts, than continuing under the current unsustainable consumption patterns.Within a roadmap for tourism recovery, UNWTO included also ?green economy? as one of its main blocks together with ?stimulus? and ?resilience?.

Have we met? My name is Susan, and I'm a bauble whore.
I've loved every kind of jewelry since I was an itty bitty thing, and my love of such has grown more profound with each passing year. I know, we've had this talk before, but women of the world, hear this: You're not accessorizing enough!
If I am asked one fashion question again and again, it's "How can I accessorize more?" Are you ready for the first step? YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY BUY ACCESSORIES. You can't use what's not in your wardrobe. You must shop, and you must do it regularly. Beautiful faux jewelry is all around, at all price points, and—best of all—it never goes out of style. You may tire of something after a hundred wears, but then put it away, take a break, and pull it out later.
I have all sorts of bits and baubles that I've had for a hundred years, but they're still in rotation. As for how to store all my jewelry? That's a whole other story.

By Carmen Argueta, NAMI Program Coordinator and Spanish Programs Specialist
About a year ago I joined the NAMI Education, Training and Peer Support Center. I was thrilled at this opportunity, as I would be working to help our education programs grow, especially within the Latino community. I was familiar with NAMI's education programs but had not experienced firsthand the truly life changing impact they had on people's lives—something which was evidenced so clearly at our national training event this past October in St. Louis.
For the first time ever, we hosted an all-Spanish training for Conexión NAMI facilitators and De Familia a Familia teachers. Not only was this a milestone for NAMI, it also held special significance for me as a Latina. I was able to interact with the participants of both programs and was able to see them grow together as a group and individually in a very short period of time. They went from starting as strangers to on the road to becoming life-long friends—united in a common goal. I knew they would take something home from the training that would help their community, a community that has to bear the effects of a self-imposed stigma due to the nature of our culture. I could not help but feel hopeful and see such promise for the future.
Alongside these Spanish-language program trainings was the first NAMI Parents and Teachers as Allies Training of Trainers since 2008. It was fortuitous for me to be able to participate in this training and its surrounding events as I was able to engage in an event that I had heard so much about but had never been able to be directly involved in. Parents and Teachers as Allies is a tremendous program that helps individuals within school communities better understand the early warning signs of mental illness in children and adolescents and the most effective way to intervene so that each child's specific needs can be met.
I was also involved in creating an educational video that is slated to be released in early 2012 and was also asked to talk about multicultural outreach on the last day of training. I spoke about outreach from personal experience and was so pleased to hear afterwards how well it was received. I had no idea how strongly it would resonate with the participants, who asked questions and saw practical uses for various cultural groups in their areas.
The training in St. Louis was an excellent event that I'm sure produced top notch facilitators, teachers and state trainers who will reach out and break down the barriers and stigma of mental illness to not only the Latino community but to so many others as well.

If they're correct, that doesn't bode well for the typical public works department.
You and your team are the best antidote to this potential consequence of the economic downturn. Instituted by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in 1960, National Public Works Week (NPWW) is a low-cost, high-impact opportunity to teach residents how ubiquitous — and important — your department is to their daily lives. It's also a chance to introduce children to public works as a profession, which is more important than ever as the wave of Baby Boomer retirements begins to crest.
Click through the next few pages to see how three departments use the event to reach out to the next generation of public works employees. Also, check out our Editors' pick: 10 cool National Public Works Week ideas on the last page!

Rated 4 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TheLaurax Linen feel Love this curtain! The only downside is I wish it was a bit thicker so sunlight doesn't come through. Other than that, it's great for the price. I recommend getting a portable steamer to get out the wrinkles (mine has been hanging for 2 weeks and still is wrinkly). May 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marc Great curtains for affordable price We live in an old house with tall ceilings and windows and I have been looking for affordable white (not sheer) curtains for years. I finally found these and also had free shipping on most of them with an online discount code. Unfortunately, they've been out of stock more often than not, so it took me a while and numerous cancelled orders until I finally got all 6 of my panels. I finally chose the available option to have WM email me when they were in stock again, and made my purchase promptly with no problem when I got the alert. Of course, I needed the longest option, so that may have been why they were often out of stock online. (I never checked the other lengths.) I am very happy with them... great thickness, beautiful weave, and they work wonderfully! February 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WorldMarketFan10 Great quality drapes! I must have searched everywhere for nice white drapes with bronze gromments that came in the longer lengths I needed! World Market was the only place both in-store and on-line that offered this. I have purchased 12 of the White Parker Curtain drapes so far (2 in 96 inches and 10 in 108 inches) and am very impressed with the quality and price! I even had a window treatment designer in my home who said they were great! The color is a true white and the texture is a slight weave- adds a little character versus the plain white "sheet" look. I highly recommend this product! Looks much better in person than pictured. August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bcnapier Great look for a great price! These curtains with grommets are great and easy to install - I used the matte ball curtain rods. They look great. The cloth is a nice, substantial weight and the weave gives it a good texture. I washed them and hung them on a clothesline to dry, then hung them inside without ironing them. Looks like linen! Good buy. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DIYDiva15 Perfect Drapes! I have been looking for these exact drapes for about 3 months. I saw similar ones at a competitor for 4 times the amount! So I took a chance and ordered these. They are the exact material and style for a fraction of the price! The fabric is thick and good quality. The white is clean. Grommets are the bronze color I needed to match the drapery rod too. They are not lined which I did not want so the light would filter better. I have ordered more for another room b/c I am so impressed with them. June 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LaRe Gorgeous Curtains Was looking for something fresh and crisp to add brightness to our living room. These definitely exceeded my expectations for the price! Weight is nice, soft linen texture adds dimension without too much detail and the color is a clean white. Two thumbs up! January 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ani7011 very happy i love the color and feel of these curtains. the crisp white leaves a light, airy feel while the medium-heaviness of the 100% cotton makes the room feel insulated and cozy. they just lighten my mood every time i see them. they did arrive in the mail with a couple of small smudges but i'm guessing those will come out in the wash. i'm so happy with this purchase. October 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sigyn Love these! I bought 4 to hang over a sliding glass door, I wanted privacy but needed something that let in light, Perfect, loved them so much I ordered 6 more for the living room windows. The drape on these is gorgeous. They are washable and I wonder how they will do in the machine. July 15, 2013

Jakarta : Michelin's recommendations
In Jakarta, 21C Asia coexists with extreme poverty; shopping centres selling luxury brands juxtapose the kampung, labyrinthine working-class districts. In 50 years, Indonesia's capital has become a huge city of more than 10 million inhabitants. It is noisy, polluted and growing relentlessly, exposing as it does the most violent contrasts, which accounts for the fascination it excites. From the fish market to the Chinese district, from the Hard Rock Café to the futuristic skyscrapers, allow the city to overwhelm you… and don't pass up the chance to sample the wild nightlife.

With a demanding full-time job and a young kid and a husband who also has a high-pressure job, I'm as busy as the next person. Sometimes I can't quite believe I manage to get the bills paid on time—never mind make it to the gym.
Obviously, I'm not alone in struggling to fit it all in. No one has time to exercise! Throw in the rigors of training and it's a miracle any of us make it to the finish line without a stretcher.
I have a bunch of strategies I use to make sure I run, but what they all boil down to is this: Exercise is one of my top priorities. I exercise before I do almost anything else. That has repercussions. The hour I spend running on Saturday morning is an hour I don't spend cuddling with my warm, sleepy son. The hour I spend running on Sunday puts that much more pressure on the hour I also need to spend preparing my lunches for the week—which often happens right around the time my husband is trying to cook dinner.
And that's just the weekend.
I find it much harder to fit in exercise during the week—particularly the amount of exercise necessary to train well for a long race. Last year, I was good about my long runs on the weekend and not so good about the repetitive shorter runs during the week. Those shorter weekly runs are the time to work on speed and hill drills. And at race time, I wasn't as strong on the hills or as fast overall as I would have liked to be. I suffered for the gaps in my training. I vowed that this time I would work extra hard during the week.
Famous last words.
Already, I am falling behind on the speed and hill drills. I don't have any trouble getting to the gym, but I do have a hard time staying there for the 50 minutes I need to fit in a full workout. Happily, I had a brainstorm about how to fix it.
I am going to run home!
I know, crazy, right? But here's what I figure. It's 7.25 miles from my office to my house. If I take the subway two stops, I can cut the route down to five miles. I normally spend 45 minutes commuting, so the short subway hop plus five miles shouldn't take me more than an hour. So, for a mere 15 minutes more than I would normally spend, I can squeeze in a five-mile weekday run.
The hills are built in, but I'll have to force myself to sprint for a couple of blocks to get in the speed work. Bonus thought: I'll be free of an unpleasant subway commute. Now, I'm convinced that running home is the answer to all my problems.
Of course, I haven't tried it yet.
It is winter in New York after all, and it gets dark by 5:30 pm. My run will include going over the Brooklyn Bridge, and I'm not sure how that will play when it's dark and freezing cold. But in another couple of weeks, it will be lighter and warmer, and I'll be further along in the training. I can't wait to see how it goes.
Have you ever tried a running commute? What did you think? Post your thoughts below.

text: Sep 4, 2012 00:48 Mandatory evacuation, curfew set in Assumption Mandatory evacuation, curfew set in Assumption Advocate story Aug. 28, 2012; 0:27 p.m. Comments Residents in Assumption Parish are being told it's time to get out of harm's way as Hurricane Isaac makes its approach. Parish officials instituted a mandatory evacuation throughout the parish on Tuesday morning and will institute a curfew at midnight. Sheriff Mike Waguespack said that while the evacuation order is mandatory, it won't be enforced. "We're not going to bang on doors and force people to get out," he said. "Everybody around here pretty much knows their area and what they need to do," said Kim Torres, a spokeswoman for the Assumption Parish Police Jury. "If they have any questions or doubts, they need to move." Waguespack said the curfew, which will not allow anyone in the streets of the parish or any business to sell alcohol after midnight, will be enforced by his agency. He said the curfew will go into effect at midnight and will remain in effect until further notice. "We don't really expect things to calm down here until first thing Thursday morning," he said.

Die Wohnung war sauber und wie wir sie uns vorgestellet hatten. Besonders gefallen hat uns die sehr guter Lage- sowohl zum Strand als in die Stadt braucht man zu Fuß nur wenige Minuten.Unser Auto konnten wir direkt vor dem Haus parken. Rovinj ist einfach wunderschön und wir würden gerne wieder einmal dorthin fahren. Die Wohnung ist ganz gut ausgestattet, auch wenn man mit den zwei Herdplatten keine großen Koch-Sprünge machen kann. Sowohl vor dem Haus als nhinter dem Haus gibt es einen Tisch, an dem man essen kann, was wir besonder schön fanden. Es war ruhig und die Vermietrein empfing uns herzlich.
Gute Lage nahe der Stadt Rovinj. Vom Meer weiter entfernt als angegeben. Für Personen mit Haustieren sehr gut geignet. Wenn sie keine Hunde mögen, dann ungeeignet. Parkplatz am Grund sehr gut. Fahrradverleih im Nahbereich.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.

Princeton Falls Short in Ivy Opener to Penn, 11-10
PHILADELPHIA (3/16/13) - And you thought last Saturday was wild? Add the most recent one, this time against Penn, to the one a week ago for the Princeton men's lacrosse team - who has now had a second consecutive extraordinarily frustrating Saturday afternoon.
This time, Princeton fell 11-10 to Penn in front of 1,437 at Franklin Field on a game that featured all of the following - snow (enough to cover the field), sleet, heavy rain, a 65-minute lightning delay and ultimately a furious Princeton rally at the end that just fell a few inches or a few seconds short.
All of this came seven days after Princeton lost 16-15 at North Carolina on two goals in the final 37 seconds, including the game-winner with three seconds left. At least that game was played in the sunshine and 65 degree weather in Chapel Hill.
The result is that sixth-ranked Princeton falls to 4-2 overall, 0-1 in the Ivy League, while Penn is now 5-1, 1-0. Princeton hosts Yale Friday in an ESPNU game.
Penn led 11-8 with 2:44 to go before Princeton's Jeff Froccaro and Tom Schreiber scored 23 seconds apart, making it a one-goal game with 45 seconds to play.
Justin Murphy won the face-off, and Chris White and Schreiber ripped shots just over the goal in the frantic final seconds before Penn was able to throw it the length of the field as time expired.
TURNING POINT OF THE GAME - The game was tied at 7-7 when Princeton's Mark Strabo was called for a slash. With the flag down, Nick Doktor scored to make it 8-7, with 6:03 to go in the fourth. Penn then won the face-off and scored an extra-man goal to make it 9-7 32 seconds later, and a penalty against Brian Reilly gave Penn the ball and another EMO. The Quakers scored on that one as well, turning it into a 10-7 game with three goals in 45 seconds.
WEATHER REPORT - The game started in sleet that quickly turned to snow. As the field began to be covered by the white stuff, Penn was able to build a 4-0 lead. When the snow stopped, Princeton answered with four goals of its own, including one by Schreiber with 13 seconds left in the half, tying it at 4-4 at intermission. As the 10-minute half was about to end, thunder could be heard, resulting in a delay that started as 30 minutes and grew to 55, plus a 10-minute warmup period. With the 10 minutes of halftime, the teams did not play for a 1:15 span. The rain ended as the third quarter started.
- Mike MacDonald had four goals and two assists for Princeton, and Schreiber
had three goals and two assists. Between them, they had seven goals of the 10
goals and four of the six assists. Justin Murphy won 15 of 22 face-offs. Freshman goalie Matt O'Connor made 12 saves.
WHAT THE BOX SCORE DOESN'T TELL YOU - Princeton had leads of 5-4, 6-5 and 7-6 and had the ball with the lead each time but could never build a two-goal lead. Each time Penn got a stop and then scored to tie it.
STAT OF THE GAME - Penn was 4 for 4 on extra-man opportunities.

But there was a stipulation: Coburn would have to be competing in the steeple finals, having advanced through the prelims earlier in the week in Eugene, Ore.
|Patrons of The Brick Oven Pizzeria in Crested Butte settle in for the U.S. Steeplechase finals.
She did her part, qualifying for Friday's finals with Monday's fastest time, and since a Thursday-Saturday trip to Crested Butte had been planned for over a month, I would do mine. The Brick Oven Pizzeria was the place to be Friday at 5:45 p.m. MDT.
Right about now, you're asking if the Coburns of Crested Butte are shareholders in this particular Elk Ave. eatery. The answer is no, but here's the tie-in: Three of the four Coburn siblings - Gracie, Emma and Willy - worked there. And in time, given that trio's reviews, a job might be waiting for youngest son Joe if he desires.
"If I'm in the finals," Emma told me, "the owner will have a TV showing it. They'll show all of my races they can."
Correct. I counted two TVs inside and one on the spacious patio, which is billed as the "best in town" and made a strong case for itself as such as the Coburn countdown began. There also was a Coburn watch party directly across Elk Ave. at Maxwell's, another of this funky, breathtaking mountain town's hot haunts.
But I went with Emma's recommendation, figuring from a story-telling standpoint, her former employers and a few co-workers had angles not to be found across the street. Good call . . . and that was before the pizza and beverages arrived.
Colleen Farrell, who has tended bar and worked as an out-front manager for 13 years at the bar/restaurant, hired Emma based on the good work that older sister Gracie had done. She figured it must run in the family - and she was right.
"Yeah, it had a lot to do with Gracie," Farrell said. "She was such a great worker, so (when Emma applied) I certainly said yes. Then Emma turned out to be just a delight; both of them were really fun."
Knowing both were runners, the "kitchen boys" - as Farrell described them - routinely challenged the Coburn sisters to races in the alley between the Brick Oven Pizzeria's old building and its spacious new digs next door.
"Neither one of (the Coburn sisters) were really sprinters," Farrell remembered with a laugh, "so sometimes the kitchen guys got lucky . . . but they wouldn't want to line up with Emma now in her event."
The restaurant is co-owned by Brian Schneider and Dan Loftus, who moved to Colorado from New York in 1996. Loftus also recalled Emma's work ethic and poise when "things kind of blew up out on the patio . . . when everyone else was getting frazzled - 'Oh, I've got too many tables, the credit card machine just broke, the pizza got burned, whatever . . .' - she stayed super cool. She's just real smart and put together."
Added Farrell: "She had an amazing work ethic. She was good with customers and made people happy. She did her job and never complained."
Crested Butte boasts a list of Winter Olympians, but if the town has produced a Summer Olympian, no one I talked to could identify him/her. No wonder Coburn's shot late Friday afternoon at making Team USA for next month's London Olympics had the Butte buzzing.
"It's such a small town that everyone follows everyone's athletic endeavors," Loftus said. "It's not every day when you have someone have a chance to go to the Olympics . . . everyone is on the bandwagon for Emma."
|Emma Coburn gets set to embrace fellow teammate and Olympian Shalaya Kipp.
In Monday's two qualifying heats, Coburn's time of 9:43.19 was the afternoon's fastest and a second-plus ahead of Nike's Bridget Franek (9:44.05). Coburn's University of Colorado teammate, Shalaya Kipp, ran second behind Coburn in their heat, finishing at 9:46.17, the day's fifth-fastest time.
Coburn and Kipp, respectively, were the 2011 and 2012 NCAA steeplechase champions, and with Jenny Barringer (now Simpson) winning the event in 2006, 2008 and 2009, CU could be calling itself "Steeplechase U."
Simpson's 9:12.50, run in 2008, is the American women's record, and loquacious Buffs track coach Mark Wetmore often finds himself close to speechless about that race. He has trouble believing anyone can beat that time. A couple of years ago when I was interviewing him for a story on Coburn, Wetmore had this to say about her: "She's going to be one of the greatest collegiate steeplechasers ever, we feel."
(An aside: Wetmore celebrated a birthday Friday in Eugene by rejoicing with another pair of CU Olympians. His list grows. I'm guessing he treated himself to a nice slice of key lime pie.)
At about 5:40 p.m. Friday, Loftus and most of the kitchen staff at the Brick Oven Pizzeria began milling around the flat screen TV mounted above the bar's left flank, or almost directly above the swinging kitchen doors that never seemed to stay closed for more than a second or two.
"Has it started yet?"
"Five minutes. Stay cool. There's Emma now."
When NBC's cameras panned the 3k steeplechase field and focused on Coburn, a cheer erupted. When Coburn broke from the pack almost immediately and eventually began building a 10-, then 15-, then 20-yard lead, the cheers gave way to chants of "Em-ma, Em-ma." Coburn had dominated the race.
She crossed the finish line in 9:32.78. Franek was second at 9:35.62, Kipp was third at 9:35.73. Two Buffs are headed for London and their sport's grandest stage as first-time Olympians. "Steeplechase U." indeed.
Loftus, Farrell and the rest of the Brick Oven Pizzeria crew aren't sure when they'll see Coburn again. The next month will be a blur for her, but Farrell said when Emma comes home, "She usually stops by here if she can. Everybody follows her here; everybody is really proud of her. It's good stuff."
About two hours after the race, after a thunderstorm had passed through and the pizza had disappeared, a wait staffer hurried by and announced, "Go outside right now, there's a crazy double rainbow . . . you gotta see it."
The town's favorite daughter is an Olympian, now officially in pursuit of gold, and the heavens appeared to be acknowledging it. Not a bad summer afternoon to be in Crested Butte.

OkayplayerTV: Lupe Fiasco Part IPosted byMay 10, 2010Filed under:13
While on his Steppin' Laser Tour, Lupe Fiasco, chops it up with OkayplayerTV. Lupe explains the meaning behind his upcoming album, Lasers, his feelings on his songs leaking, his sneaker game, and more. Video shot and edited by Datubo MacHarry.
I really like Lupe, I honestly do, but does anyone else see a problem with an artist that is supposed to be counter-culture and against the grain stomping on his soap box about money? If Lupe is as revolutionary as he claims shouldn't material gains mean nothing to him? Shouldn't he embrace the pirates of the internet as the last keepers of rebellion? I know everyone has to eat and music is the intellectual property of the artist, but Lupe is def not struggling to put food on the table. Maybe that intern who leaked, aka stole, the track didn't want to feel bigger than he was but wanted to give back to the movement that got him his gig in the first place. The dawn of electronic information has fundamentally changed traditional property notions in our society, and it's time artists take this into account rather than cry about all of their lost sales. "I don't trust America, after watching Zeitgeist," that may be true Lupe but you still love the capitalistic structure that keeps Uncle Sam's, and your, pockets fat.
Naw Edwuurd your not the only one. I most definitely will be buying Lasers. I bought Food & Liquor & I bought The Cool. Lasers will not be any different and I have my Lasers shirt (just like the one B.o.B.'s wearing) from the Steppin' Lasers tour. that I have not worn yet. I will not wear it outside until I go to buy the CD. Leaking anything, even artists who are less favorable, is some pretty messed up crap. That and Lupe definitely does not in any way, deserve to be leaked, downloaded, bootlegged, ect. The man releases exceptionally good Hip-Hop music in a time when it is a rarity. I bought B.o.B. and I have been waiting three years to hear another album from Lupe Fiasco. He is one of the only people I feel deserves the money I spend on a CD. Why would you take money and sales from someone you claim is your favorite or one of your favorite artist? That is just real f'd up and you just make yourself look fake. Be a true fan of Lupe and cop that CD.
I will be buying lupe's album regardless. I was surprised at how pirating and leaks REALLY hurt the artists we love. That really is some low shxt. We all went out and copped B.o.B's album, and that turned out to be a number 1 selling album in the country. To my fellow L.a.s.e.r.s. let's do the same for Lupe. Am I the only one that sees a number 1 selling album in the country?
well i'm buying the album regardless of the leaks b/c I support lupe and hopefully all his business endeavors will thrive....p.s Lupe looked cute..as always... ; )
word to this.... You know what question has been boggling me tho... what does the trilly and truly logo mean? The lightening bolt with the two bones... hmmm... i have my own guesses but one thing is for sure: with Lupe you can never be certain until he says it. >>Curiouser and Curiouser
Every single word that Lupe said in this report ... is to 100% true. We already had too many Losers in this world ... we need more Lasers ... we need 2 smile ... we need Lupe Fiasco ... let's hope your album will drop this or next month ... without that any fools get their hand on it and put it into the internet 1st & 15th
We need this album to go Diamond. I cant stand when the best artist can't sell because of leaks. The label needs to release his album soon. And Lupe, continue to do what you are doing. We need the positivity.
hell yea i hate when people dont support they artist the right way and use limewire or somethin, personaly i like to touch a album see the art work and support my artist so they can make more dope music

Delivery: Mondays-Fridays by 6:30am ET
To get the latest The New York Times Audio Digest, click here. Or, you can find back issues by searching the complete archive.
"Excellent encapsulation of NYT"
While I used to subscribe to the New York Times, it cost a lot and I seldom had the time to read much of it anyway. The Audible.com version is just what the doctor ordered: the headline stories in each important section are read, and that's the important stuff. If you're a news junkie like me, you will want to go online for the full stories and other features, and supplement your news with the usual sources. I personally couldn't care less about the sports news, but I just click to the next section to bypass that portion. The narration is just right -- crisp and clean, not too slow, and with a basic introduction to each news story. Highly recommended, and one of the main reasons I subscribed to Audible.
"New York Times on the Go"
These excerpts provide a series of articles from the New York Times totalling about 40 minutes each. The reader has a very pleasant voice, so even though I thought it might be hard to listen to a newspaper, I find this is excellently done. There are selections from the front page, the national page, the sports and finally some readings from columnists. Fortunately the sports section is not that terribly long, so I listen through it though I would rather have other things to listen to. It's a great way to catch up on the news on my daily bicycle commute.
I absolutely love this service. I commute about 2 hours a day (hour each way). I generally listen to traditional news radio (NPR and commercial) but between the constant fund raising and commercials I was getting annoyed. I had picked up an ipod recently and learned about audible.com soon thereafter. I subscribed immediately and added the NYT. What a fantastic service! Now I get to listen to a paper I didnt have time to read before. I recommend this to anyone who follows the news. Couldn't be happier with this service.
"New York Times gives good news while driving"
The paper is on your computer doorstep at 6AM every weekday morning and you don't have to go out in the cold to get it. They review the top stories in each category and the opinion pages at the end. (Tom Friedman we love you) The entire story is not there, but enough to give you the important info and if you want the full story just go on line to get it later in the day. I download it with my Apple iPod and listen to it while eating breakfast and on the drive to work. I bought a subscription that includes a book and a periodical and found it well worth the money. The down side is, it is geared for the newspaper and not a talk format like NPRs "Morning Edition". However, "Morning Edition" is not up and running at 6AM and you have to wait until later in the day to get it. I find that the highest quality is the best for my iPod. I use a cassette adaptor in the car. This may not be worth the money free standing, but as a package: excellent.
"Biased but concise"
Although of an obvious liberal bias, the New York Times in audio format provides far more information then any radio news programs broadcast in this rural area. The audio quality is poorer then other audible products but the reader does an excellent job of reading.
Report Inappropriate Content
If you find this review inappropriate and think it should be removed from our site, let us know. This report will be reviewed by Audible and we will take appropriate action.

ZF-10180: Add Default Page Range As Static Property
It would be helpful to have default page range be available as a static property on Zend_Paginator. There is already a static property for default item count per page. At the moment, to maintain consistent pagination controls, the page range must be set on each individual instance of Zend_Pagintator.
Patch against 1.10.6 to follow.
Patch against 1.10.6 to enable a static property for default page range.
I notice that you do not appear to have a cla on file, please could you sign the CLA as detailed here: http://zendframework.com/wiki/display/…
Without this, your patch cannot be accepted into the codebase.
Thank you
Already exists a propose similar the this ZF-9174.
Thanks by your report.
I'll send the CLA in later today. Should I add the patch to ZF-9174 or just leave it here?
You can let right here.
Thanks advance.
Hi Ryan,
My CLA has been processed. Please feel free to review and/or integrate my page range patch as you see fit.

ZF-2798: JOIN requires FROM otherwise it acts just like FROM
Joining tables with {{setIntegrityCheck(false)}} doesn't work without specifying the primary table with {{$select->from($table)}}. If {{from}} is not specified, {{join}} acts exactly the same as {{from}} and doesn't use it's required parameters at all.
More info about this: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a table class for a database table that extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
- Create an accessor function that uses: $select = $this->select() ->setIntegrityCheck(false) ->joinLeft('tableB', 'tableA.id=tableB.id'); echo $select->__toString();
reveals that the first table (the one for which the table class was extended) is not part of the query.
(ugly workaround, add another join to force the original table back into the query) $select = $this->select() ->setIntegrityCheck(false) ->joinLeft('tableA', 'tableA.id=tableB.id') ->joinLeft('tableB', 'tableA.id=tableB.id');
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Found another workaround: Instead of the (ugly) join() on the table itself, just use the from().
$select = $this->select() $select->setIntegrityCheck(false); $select->from('tableA'); $select->joinLeft('tableB', 'tableA.id=tableB.id'); echo $select->__toString();
This issue has gone unaddressed for too long. I'm reassigning this to Ralph for re-evaluation and categorization.
Will evaluate within 2 weeks
Fixed in r15632, still need to determine if this is a mini or minor release point feature (this is a new feature, not a bug as the issuer claims since the select object indeed did work as originally designed)
To be clear, the fix is that the a parameter ($withFromPart) was added to Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::select($withFromPart = false). To get an instance of the select object with the from loaded, simply call $table->select(true). This feature keeps backwards compatibility as well as provides a solution most people can work with if they need the select object preloaded.
I notice that this issue is marked as fixed in 1.8.2 but looking into Zend_Db_Table_Abstract 1.8.4, the fix appears to be missing.
* Returns an instance of a Zend_Db_Table_Select object.
* @return Zend_Db_Table_Select
public function select()
require_once 'Zend/Db/Table/Select.php';
return new Zend_Db_Table_Select($this);
The constant Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::SELECT_WITH_FROM_PART is also absent.
Changing the fix version - since this is a new feature it will be in 1.9
