Free weekly email packed with travel tips for major world cities, great competitions and exciting features.
All great travel apps have one thing in common: they all solve a problem you didn't even realise you had. That said, with app stores bulging at the virtual seams with software claiming to make your life easier, being simply useful is no longer enough for app developers aspiring to greatness. Whether they're cutting down journey times, pointing you in the direction of authentic local nosh or simply showing you how to ask after a toilet in Swahili, each and every one of our 50 best travel apps has earned its place in this list by virtue of being innovative, quirky or – in a few cases – downright space-age. So browse well, take your pick and get globe-trotting – because with a few of these in your pocket, you may never look at the world in the same way again.
Follow the path of thousands of international flights on slick, zoomable maps, with detailed information on departure gates, delays and (heaven forbid) cancellations. Great for those anticipating the arrival of loved ones, or particularly nerdy train-spotters looking to up their game.
Available on iPhone (£2.99), iPad (£2.99), Android (£2.99) and Windows Phone (£3.99)
An intuitive app offering weather reports for well over two million geographical locations, feeding in everything from cloud formations and atmospheric pressure to wind speed and humidity, all in enough detail to leave Michael Fish clammy-palmed with excitement. It's also accurate to the point of clairvoyance, so if you're travelling to Berlin and it predicts rain, pack your best umbrella.
Available on iPhone (£2.49), Android (£1.99) and Windows Phone (£2.29)
There are plenty of theories floating about concerning the best methods for beating jetlag, very few of which come backed up with any serious scientific clout. Still, it's generally agreed that gradually altering your sleeping habits before a trip is beneficial, and this clever app will help you do just that. Input your travel dates, destination and usual sleeping times and it'll come back with personalised alarm clocks to soften the blow when you wake up on Tuesday afternoon convinced it's still Monday morning.
Available on iPhone (£1.99)
Sadly, for London's motorists, embracing the great English countryside usually involves grappling with the terrifying Tarmac gauntlet of the M25. Make life easier with this – a searchable selection of 150 live video feeds of the notoriously troublesome motorway. Certainly not the most thrilling app you'll ever download, but you'll feel more than slightly smug when you spot trouble in advance and shave an hour off your journey.
Available on Android (£0.99)
Don't bother paying up for one of the many currency conversion apps out there in the digital hinterland – this freebie is slick, easy to use, and – best of all, since it uses live currency rates – completely accurate. It's been downloaded more than five million times to date, so don't even think about hopping on a plane without it.
Available on iPhone (free), iPad (free), Android (free) and Windows Phone (free)
Anyone who says there's no exact science to packing has obviously never tried to cram a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos into the same suitcase as a giant inflatable beach ball. Thank the lord, then, for this. Tell it where you're going, how long for and who with and it'll spit out a suggested list of what you might need, split up into essentials (passport, currency), clothes, gadgets and more, with separate lists for additional family members.
Available on iPhone (£1.99)
Until the bashful lobster look finds its way into the style zeitgeist, this is a crucial piece of kit for those venturing to sunny climes. Having detected the UVI rating of your current location, this nifty little app sets a countdown timer to alert you when you're due your next slathering of sunblock. All you have to do is input your skin type and the SPF of your lotion, then kick back and soak up some worry-free rays.
Available on iPhone (free)
Leave 10% on the table after a meal in Tokyo and your generosity will cause offence; do the same in New York and you'll be called a skinflint. Thankfully, wherever you go, there's this – a nifty tip calculator to help the mathematically challenged split bills and tips while neatly sidestepping social embarrassment.
Available on iPhone (£0.69)
In the cut-throat world of business, time is money, making a seven-hour trans-Atlantic flight a lot of wonga indeed. Thankfully, just because your laptop's packed away, doesn't mean you can't keep your eyes on the prize. Essentially, this (admittedly pricey) app turns your iPhone into a wireless hard drive, allowing you to quickly and easily load it up with documents at the airport, then browse and amend on the move throughout your trip.
Available on iPhone (£6.99) and iPad (£6.99)
Not the most thrilling addition to your tech arsenal, this one, but essential all the same. Designed for campers and caravanners, the app provides a simple and effective way to keep track of the electrical output of your various travel gadgets, meaning you're less likely to burn your pride and joy to the ground by overloading the circuit. Requires a little bit of preparation before you set off, but the resulting peace of mind makes up for it.
Available on iPhone (£0.69)
Anyone who's ever accidentally downloaded a large email while on holiday will attest to the ridiculousness of data roaming charges, and though there's no indication from the networks that they're working on putting things right, there are measures you can take to avoid an end-of-month sting. Once installed, this app drastically reduces the amount of data required to perform everyday tasks, such as retrieving email and posting to Facebook. We're not entirely sure how it manages such a feat – we just know that it works and we're not about to complain.
Available on iPhone (free) and Android (free)
Does pretty much what it says on the tin, this one, providing easy access to the time in hundreds of cities and therefore averting arithmetic-induced stress your jetlagged brain could really do without. Nothing revolutionary, but still an essential download, especially considering the rather nifty option of adding several clocks as home-screen widgets.
Available on Android (free)
A potentially life-saving database of emergency service numbers for just about every country you'd ever care to visit, plus plenty for those that you wouldn't. There's also embassy details should passports go missing and – for the truly paranoid – the option to pin certain services to your home screen as widgets, for one-touch access to police, ambulances and fire engines.
Available on Android (£0.99)
As much as we hate stating the obvious, it's a simple fact of physics that you won't have much of a skiing holiday without snow. Keep this on your home screen and you'll never be more than a chilly-fingered prod away from the latest ski reports for your local pistes, and there's even detailed trail maps to guide you back to the lodge should you snowplough-turn your way into trouble.
Available on iPhone (free) and Windows Phone (free)
Okay, so smartphones don't particularly complement the gnarly surfer aesthetic (can you imagine Keanu whipping out an iPhone in Point Break? Because we can't) but still – it's good to be prepared. Though it could admittedly do with feeding in data from a few more wave stations, the current version still provides comprehensive information on tides and weather conditions for plenty of the world's biggest surf spots.
Available on Windows Phone (free)
While flight-booking apps are fairly plentiful on other mobile platforms, Windows Phone marketplace boasts a meagre handful. Thankfully, this clean-looking solution does everything you'd ever need it to, aggregating fares from airlines and the big travel sites to bag you the best deal. For those really keeping an eye on the purse-strings, there's also the option to pin your search to your start screen and keep an eye on price fluctuations. Neat.
Available on iPhone (free), iPad (free), Android (free) and Windows Phone (free)
Not everyone who rocks a smartphone can afford to stay at The Savoy every night, so thank heavens for this – a geo-tagged directory of 25,000 listings for budget hotels, right at your travel-weary fingertips. The app also provides access to over 3.5million user reviews, minimalising the likelihood of you signing up to a night in a flea-infested hell-pit.
Available on iPhone (free) and Android (free)
The closest thing most of us will ever have to a personal assistant, albeit a hell of a lot cheaper. All you have to do is forward your various confirmation emails for flights/hotels/hire cars/restaurant bookings etc. to email@example.com and the app instantly generates an itemised itinerary covering your entire trip. Better still, upgrade to the premium version and the app will keep you in the loop in real time, generating alerts to let you know when flights are delayed or gates change.
Available on iPhone (free) and Android (free)
Much like WorldMate on iPhone and Android, this indispensible tool scans your various travel documents to piece together a personal travel itinerary, which it follows up with alerts and updates when disruption rears its ugly head. Like its rivals, it'll also give you the chance to fill in any gaps by booking hotels and transfers on the fly.
Available on BlackBerry (free)
A great value guide to more than 8,000 campsites in the UK and Europe, backed up with user reviews, pictures and inch-perfect GPS coordinates. Looking for a little more than just somewhere to bed down for the night? Simply filter local results by facilities and you'll soon be en route to a patch that's right for you.
Available on Android (£1.99)
There are stacks of apps out there that'll show you a map of nearby car parks, but none that do such in as much detail as this market-leading marvel. As well as tracking down spaces in their vicinity, users can also see at a glance how much they'll have to pay to stay per hour and, for some car parks, the exact number of spaces available. Bank Holiday road trips just got slightly less stressful.
Available on iPhone (£1.99), iPad (£1.99) and Android (£1.99)
Of course, before you go gallivanting around the globe, first you'll need to get to the airport and with cumbersome bags to deal with, schlepping through the capital's streets to find a Hackney carriage isn't really an option. This neat piece of software uses your phone's GPS to make the cabs come to you – simply tap the big 'pick me up' button and one of the little cab icons on the map will start heading towards you. And if the wonders of modern technology don't get your cabbie chatting, nothing will.
Available on iPhone (free) and Android (free)
GPS navigation meets social networking, with surprisingly effective results. Tap in your destination (there's also speech recognition if you've got your hands on the wheel) and user-submitted traffic reports make sure you're offered the quickest route for the current road conditions. Even if you're not digging the whole sharing and caring vibe, it's still a good £39.99 cheaper than TomTom's sat-nav app.
Available on iPhone (free), iPad (free) and Android (free)
As with our very own Tube, there are hundreds of apps that promise to make your journey on New York's subway system less stressful, but none as highly rated or widely used as this slick and intuitive piece of software. As well as the usual maps and route planners, there's also a natty augmented reality mode that uses your camera to overlay nearby stations onto your view of the city. Pretty neat, even by a hardened Noo Yoiker's standards.
Available on iPhone (£0.69) and Windows Phone (£0.79)
Go up a mountain without the right kit in your backpack and we'd be mighty surprised if you ever came back. And while sturdy shoes and some sort of stick (for fending off bears, naturally) are a given, GPS tracking software is another potential lifesaver. On this comprehensive orienteering app, maps come complete with contour lines, so you know what you're getting into. They can also be stored on your SD card, meaning you won't be left in the lurch should your mobile signal drop out. And if you're doing some proper hiking, it definitely will.
Available on Android (£3.99)
Richly detailed, downloadable charts for the continent's lakes and coastlines, powered by the seafaring stalwarts at Navionics. As well as plotting you a hassle-free course for your aquatic adventuring, the app will also keep you abreast of potentially dangerous changes in weather and water conditions, all the while feeding in tide predictions, data on currents and much more.
Available on iPhone (£17.49), iPad (£44.99) and Android (£16.99)
While recent years have seen street art's enigmatic pioneer take his daubings global, you don't know squat about Banksy till you've been to Bristol. This geo-tagged map guides you to the sitex of his early works – including the iconic bomb-hugging girl and the masked gorilla – with detailed notes on their history and suggested interpretations. Pack your camera and get spotting.
Available on iPhone (£1.99) and Android (£1.99)
Public transport information covering 68 (and counting) of the world's biggest, busiest metropolitan hubs. So whether you need to pick your way across downtown Denver or catch a bus out of Norfolk, you should never be more than a few taps away from a neatly displayed, stop-by-stop itinerary.
Available on iPhone (free), iPad (free), Android (free) and Windows Phone (free)
Nothing quite matches the sheer, sobering terror of suddenly realising you're in a moody part of a strange town with no money for a cab ride back to the safety of your hotel. Not to worry though – chances are a cash machine is just around the corner, and with this in your pocket, you'll always be able to find one with minimal fuss. Over 220 countries are listed, meaning you ought to be covered for even the most exotic of jaunts.
Available on Windows Phone (free)
There are two schools of thought when it comes to exploring a new city – you either sit down with a stack of guidebooks the week before setting off and research your socks off, or you take a leap of faith and enjoy a weekend of spontaneity. This app caters to the latter, allowing you to drop GPS pins onto a map when you stumble across something interesting, or browse user-made lists recommending the best sights, sounds and flavours in town. Available on iPhone (free)
Currently in a phase of invite-only beta (have a sniff around forums for a free invite) this is Google's experimental take on a massive, crowd-sourced travel guide. As tech mash-ups go, it's fairly straightforward: users leave recommendations for things to do in their city, which visitors can then add to a to-do list and check off as they go. Given the app's youth, content is fairly sparse outside of the US at the moment, but should you find yourself on a business trip to Chicago with a couple of hours to kill, it's a reliable alternative to coughing up for some out-of-date paperback companion.
Available on Android (free)
While apps that aggregate crowd-sourced restaurant reviews may be ten-a-penny, those that focus in on specific dishes are a far rarer species. Luckily, this one works a treat, responding to your every gastronomic whim with user-generated recommendations from your local area. In downtown Madrid with a penchant for paella? Prod around a bit and within seconds you'll be en route to the best in the city.
Available on iPhone (free), Android (free) and Windows Phone (free)
A pocket-sized database of thousands of the world's biggest museums, brimming with information on permanent and current collections. But this is more than just a comprehensive companion to your favourite halls of history; using your GPS location, it'll also point you in the direction of museums in your area, so don't be surprised if your Sunday morning culture stroll turns into a full-on city-wide knowledge crawl.
Available on Windows Phone (free)
Stumbled across an important looking building? Want to know more but fear striking up conversation with the locals? Fire up this bad boy, direct your phone's camera lens at the source of your befuddlement and – as long as what you're pointing at is famous enough – it'll return relevant Wikipedia articles filling you in with everything you need to know. After a slow start, recent updates have seen the app's recognition mechanic and database become really rather impressive, meaning that if it draws a blank, it's probably just a nice-looking car park.
Available on iPhone (free) and Android (free)
Though it shot to fame as a social networking tool, this location-based app has become a godsend for curious travellers. The way it works is simple – fire up the app when you arrive at any given place (everything from restaurants to churches are listed) and you'll see a list of tips from those who've been before you ('try the cheeseburger', 'arrive by 9am for a good pew', etc.). Check in regularly enough and you'll claim virtual mayorship of that particular venue, with some venues even offering perks (a free pint, discounts, and so on) when you claim the crown.
Available on iPhone (free), Android (free) and Windows Phone (free)
A comprehensive guide to over 400 English Heritage sites and National Trust conservation areas, featuring facts, figures and directions from your current location. So the next time a bank holiday rolls around, ditch the Sky+ marathon, pack some sarnies and go revel in the underappreciated brilliance of good old England.
Available on iPhone (£0.69) and iPad (£0.69)
With data roaming charges still laughably high, knowing where to find a decent wi-fi hotspot is essential if you're to keep the twitterati up to date with details of your latest sojourn. No need to charge through the city waving your handset around like a fly-swatter, though – simply fire up this handy app and follow directions to your nearest source of wireless internet. Best of all, the offline mode means you can download maps before you go, thereby dodging a massive bill.
Available on iPhone (free), iPad (free) and Android (free)
Stripping away the glossy magnificence ladled on by just about every online travel agency out there, this is the place to find brutally honest reviews of hotels, restaurants, attractions and more. The user-base is notoriously hard to please, so be warned that you'll most likely find exclamation mark strewn rants next to your favourite spots. Still, on the flip side, touch down in a strange city with nowhere to stay and you'll only ever be a few prods away from the warts-and-all opinions of travellers just like you.
Available on iPhone (free), iPad (free), Android (free) and Windows Phone (free)
Handy though they may be, the trouble with guidebooks – and indeed their digital equivalents – is that digging through them to find the information you're after invariably means less time appreciating the thing you actually came to see. This innovative bit of software solves the problem by reading the information (farmed from Wikipedia and its own database) directly into your ears. It's a bit like one of those audio guides they hand out at museums, then, only better for your street cred.
Available on iPhone (£2.49) and Android (£2)
A tasty mash-up of your handset's native maps app and millions of Wikipedia articles, meaning you're rarely more than a scroll and a click away from stacks of useful information about your surroundings. A fairly academic way to explore the world around you, but with a flask of something hot and an afternoon to kill, we very much doubt you'll be inclined to complain.
Available on BlackBerry (free)
Our apologies for the somewhat self-important trumpet-blowing, but we just couldn't let you go without a little cheeky reminder about our own fleet of painstakingly researched, expertly written travel apps. There are editions for more than 20 of the world's biggest cities, each stuffed with comprehensive insights into the finest restaurants, bars, shows and exhibitions on Earth. Best of all, each and every one of these indispensible digital marvels is absolutely free. What can we say – we've got big hearts.
Available on iPhone (free) and Android (free)
Now this is real sci-fi stuff – an app that instantly translates foreign text via your phone's camera. Though the download itself costs nothing and comes bundled with a couple of demo settings, you'll need to shell out £6.99 (via in-app purchase) for one of the language packs, with English and French currently on offer. A tad pricey, but worth it purely for the expressions of awe you'll draw from bystanders.
Available on iPhone (free) and iPad (free)
The best-rated translation app on Android, and for good reason. More than 50 languages are supported in text-to-text mode, while an impressive 11 work with the app's voice recognition function. As for accuracy, it's plugged in to both Google and Bing's translation services, meaning results are very rarely nonsensical. Don't expect to be bantering the night away with the natives or anything, but it ought to at least mean the end of ineptly miming 'ou est la gare?'
Available on Android (£1.95)
A cross-platform messaging system that's slowly but surely rendering the text message obsolete. Data (that's pictures, videos, sound clips and GPS tags as well as text) are sent using either wi-fi or your phone's web package, so even if you're sending a message to someone on the other side of the globe, there's nothing to pay. Absolutely essential for keeping in touch with overseas chums, and, providing you can find some wi-fi, great for sending off-the-cuff holiday snaps back home.
Available on iPhone (£0.69), Android (free) and Windows Phone (free)
Remember postcards? Those rectangular, papery things you used to scrawl down tales of your far-flung travels on back before the world went digital? This app-cum-print-service allows you to hark back to the analogue era by creating and sending physical cards bearing your own travel snaps and text to anywhere in the world, for a thoroughly reasonable £1.49 a pop.
Available on iPhone (free), iPad (free) and Android (free)
There are plenty of translation apps knocking around for Windows handsets, but this well-put-together freebie is – until voice recognition comes along, at least – the only one you need. There are 36 languages currently supported, plus a useful function that allows you to quickly and easily forward translations as texts or emails.
Available on Windows Phone (free)
Ever wanted to call an Ethiopian a maniac, or approach someone on the streets of Helsinki and suggest they do something improper with themselves? Well now, thanks to this neatly indexed catalogue of international expletives, you can. Just remember to wipe it from your phone before the cops show up.
Available on Android (£1)
While your phone's on-board camera may be just the job for immortalising otherwise hazy memories from a night on the town, it simply wasn't designed to do justice to the likes of the Grand Canyon or Mount Fuji. Thankfully, with this ingenious app bolted on, awe-inspiring panoramic shots can be created in an instant – just choose your scene, press the magic button and it'll handle the rest. Naturally, it's fully integrated with Facebook, so get snapping and watch those 'likes' rack up.
Available on iPhone (free)
If you're the sort to never bother organising your holiday snaps and souvenirs into something tangible to be whipped out at dinner parties, download this one on the double. But this is more than just a virtual travel scrapbook – as long as you've got your GPS switched on, it'll also create maps of your various explorations, geo-tagged with pictures, videos and notes. 21st Century traveloguing at its finest.
Available on iPhone (£1.99) and Android (£2.99)
18 months on since its iOS release, Apple's movie-studio-in-your-pocket is still the best option for itchy-footed techies looking to shoot and send tantalising snippets of paradise back home. Especially impressive is the pared-down editing suite, where soundtracks and shot transitions can be dragged and dropped to create moving postcards with serious production values.
Available on iPhone (£2.99) and iPad (£2.99)

Another interesting app I found is Pozzr (http://pozzr.com). Tried it and it works great!
If you have time, please check out our app, called Foli, which provides travelers free access to digital magazines and eBooks — a paperless, eco-friendly solution to the mass amounts of paper used yearly for print magazines. All you have to do is request it at a location (such as a hotel, airport, etc.) using this form: getfoli.com/go. Then, we'll set up the service for you at that location, and you can actively use the app!
The app is always free to travelers, and we work through the businesses themselves so that they can provide it at their location. We'd love for you to try it and let us know what you think! Feedback from frequent travelers such as yourself really helps us improve the app.
You can download the app here: getfoli.com/app
You can request it to be set up here: getfoli.com/go
Let me know if you are interested or have any questions!
I've used few among the list and also another interesting app called Zippr http://zip.pr/webapp/ Unlike many of them it allows us to geo tag the desired locations and it will navigate us to those places hassle-free. I recommend everyone to try this also along with the list mentioned
Have you ever tried, belocaapp!

I like the KUKU VPN+ app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.c4b.client as It helps me to reduce on data roaming. The app reduce up to 70% on mobile data so It is really useful when you travel... Also, If you use hotspots this apps keeps your connection secured.
Great suggestions. Really like the Wi-Fi finder (works fantastically) and Waze. It's excellent for when you're driving in an area you don't know very well. You probably won't know your way around and the nature of traffic, so it's a Godsend.
I have a couple of other recommendations. The first is a hotel finder, Hotels.com. It covers almost any city in the world and is great in case you arrive somewhere and can't find somewhere to stay. Very useful in my experience.
Another is an app I found relatively recently called refund.me (https://www.refund.me/en/). If your flight is delayed you can claim compensation from the airline, which doesn't give you your time back but it does go some way towards making up for it.
But, my best piece of advice is to switch off your phone and just enjoy being away!

The search is now underway for a new police chief for the Town of Andrews.
Six months after Joseph Cooper was hired as the police chief, he has left to return to the Lake City Police Department - which is where he worked before July. It is also where he was born and raised.
He is now the Lake City assistant police chief and is expected to be promoted to chief next month.
Cooper told the Georgetown Times Tuesday he had no idea his tenure in Andrews would be so short. But a series of events in his hometown's police force caused his plans to change.
Billy Brown, Lake City's police chief, is retiring next month but has been on medical leave for quite some time.
Brown has cancer, which is something Cooper found out during a recent visit.
Interim Chief, Lt. John Kelly, retired at the end of December.
Cooper said he was concerned about the department in his hometown because of the two vacancies at the top.
He said it was hard to leave Andrews but emphasized he was not using the department as a stepping stone. He said no one knew what was going to happen in Lake City after he left that department.
"The people (in Andrews) are great. We were closing cases," he said.
Andrews Mayor Rodney Giles said he was surprised by Cooper's decision.
"I thought everything was going well. He did a great job turning the department around," Giles said.
Andrews Town Council member Patsy Greene said she is "disappointed" Cooper left the town.
"I really like him. I thought he was doing a good job," Greene said. "He walked in the door working hard. I am proud of what he has done for Andrews."
Cooper said reports that he has continued to live in Lake City were incorrect.
"I have lived in Georgetown since right after I took the job. In fact, I still live in Georgetown until I find a place," he said.
Giles said until Cooper's replacement is hired, the duties of the town's chief will be shared by Officers Timothy Taylor and Oliver Nesmith.

Residents of Hazard and Perry County now have a new avenue to dispose of unwanted medication after the Perry County UNITE Coalition this week placed a pill disposal unit inside the Hazard Police Department.
The unit was placed just inside the department's front door and will be accessible 24 hours a day for anyone who wants to discard their old medication, noted Hazard Police Chief Minor Allen. Once the unit is full, officials with Operation UNITE will empty the contents which will then be incinerated.
Helen Brunty chairs the UNITE Coalition in Perry County, and said this disposal unit will be a tool in combating drug abuse because it will allow people a safe alternative for disposing of their medication.
"One of the problems with drug use is that most children acquire their first medication from their own parents' medicine cabinet," Brunty said, adding children won't have that access if these medicines are disposed of once they're not needed, rather than sitting in the cabinet for a long period of time.
"Everyone here knows that we have a serious drug abuse situation," Brunty added. "So, the more medications you can get off the street, the better the situation will be."
Similar units are being placed in centralized locations throughout the 5th Congressional District in Kentucky, noted Dan Smoot, law enforcement director for Operation UNITE, with several already deployed in the region. While some units see more use than others, Smoot said initially it will be most important to get the word out about their presence in each county.
"If people don't know it's here, they don't know to bring them (medications) in," Smoot said. "This gives you a centralized, safe place to get rid of unused or unwanted medication."
The Hazard Police Department is located at 800 High Street, just across from Hazard City Hall.

Adrian First Fridays start March 2Written by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
Parts of Main and Maumee streets in downtown Adrian will turn into an art gallery starting 5 p.m. March 2.
The first installment of the Adrian First Fridays art walk features artwork displayed in local businesses, musical performances and an open-mic session.
Erik Gable, special projects editor for The Daily Telegram in Adrian (and a Toledo Free Press Star contributor), and Jackie Koch, a freelance writer at The Daily Telegram who also works at Lourdes University, came up with the idea while at a bowling alley one December evening.
Gable had experienced art walks in Fairfield, Iowa, where he once lived.
"It really grew into a major monthly event and a major point of pride for the community, so I was interested in doing something like that in Adrian," he said.
"We didn't want it to be a retail promotion, we wanted it to be an offering. The benefit to businesses is that the businesses will be more visible," said Koch, who began organizing open-mic sessions in Adrian last March. The two approached Chris Miller, the Adrian Downtown Development Authority and Economic Development director, and Elizabeth Arnold, communications and marketing coordinator for the City of Adrian, for help. Together, they got the Lenawee Council for Visual Arts, the City of Adrian, the Croswell Opera House, the Adrian Symphony Orchestra, Adrian College and Siena Heights University to form a planning committee.
The first event will occur alongside the city's annual "Wine About Winter" event, featuring wine tastings at area businesses. Art walk highlights include Toledo native Charles T. Gabriel Jr.'s display of landscape photography at the Adrian Public Library, oil paintings by Michigan artist Margaret Davis at the Lenawee Council for Visual Arts Gallery inside the Croswell Opera House and Toledo jazz singer Cynthia Kaay Bennett performing at 8 p.m. at Sauce Italian Grill & Pub. An open-mic session is also set for 6:30 p.m. at the Adrian Public Library. Middle-school students will kick off the open-mic session with poetry readings.
Upcoming months will have a theme to tie the walks together. April is "Forever Young" with family-friendly activities and May is "Swing into Spring" with a focus on music and dance. Each event is slated for the first Friday night of each month.
"It's a really exciting time for downtown Adrian. It's a lot of good things coming together at once," Gable said.
To learn more, call (517) 264-4804 or visit downtownadrian.org or facebook.com/adrianfirstfridays.

Tropical Storm Irene setting for mystery novelBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | October 01,2013AP PHOTO
Archer Mayor looks over fallen gravestones from Tropical Storm Irene in Woodlawn Cemetery in Rochester. Two years after Tropical Storm Irene, one of the states top home-grown mystery writers, Mayor, is using the storm as the backdrop for his latest book.MONTPELIER Two years after Tropical Storm Irene inundated Vermont, Newfane mystery writer Archer Mayor is using the chaos and destruction of the storm as the setting for his latest book, Three Can Keep a Secret, apparently the first piece of fiction to chronicle the storm and how Vermonters reacted to it.
Mayor said his goal is to chronicle how Vermont and Vermonters deal with the modern world.
Its one of the biggest events to have occurred in this state in quite a while. We still refer to the floods of the 20s and 30s as being monumental even though most of us werent alive, Mayor said. We are going to be referring to Irene many, many decades from now.
In the book, Mayor describes how Irene flooded the state, sending cars into torrents or how the floodwaters flushed into the open decades-old, previously unknown mysteries.
The main mystery takes its cue from to real-life closure of the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury during the flooding. In the book, a wrongly hospitalized patient escapes. Mayors main character, an investigator, works to learn what happened to her. The book also explores what happens after a single grave in a cemetery washes out and a casket is broken open, revealing rocks rather than human remains.
Fiction helps artists make sense of events, said University of Vermont professor and author Philip Baruth, who is also a state senator.
That was a traumatic event and society as a whole does what individual artists do they use stories, they use fiction, Baruth said.
Theres a fine line between turning human experiences into fiction and taking advantage of human suffering for art, Baruth said.
Mayor said he works hard to separate fictionalization of reality from actual cases. He makes clear in the book his fictional cemetery is not in Rochester, where about 50 graves washed into the White River.
I wanted to, in effect, pay homage to the disaster that hit Rochester, Mayor said.
State Rep. Anne Donahue, R-Northfield, a longtime advocate for the mentally ill, said she objected to the premise that someone could have been wrongly hospitalized at the state hospital for decades.
Having no other symptoms that an independent psychiatrist wouldnt recognize is playing to a kind of public assumption that just doesnt exist anymore, Donahue said.
Mayor said he wasnt indicting Vermonts mental health system. His premise was a specialized circumstance.
Ill guarantee you in every single book Ive ever written there have been people who objected to it, he said. It is not, as I see it, the job of the writer of fiction to be held responsible for every single individuals advocacy. You simply cant do it.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department has put out a warning about the wild parsnip, a common...

When we saw pregnant Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak posing for the cover of In Touch Weekly wearing what looked to be a hand-me down bra and a weird pair of sheer panties last week, we immediate thought to ourselves, "That woman has no shame!" After the shock wore off, we began thinking: A) What other celebrities have flaunted their baby bumps on the cover of national magazines and B) Was their pursuit of fame more naked than their actual bodies?
Well, as we discovered during an intense round of research, there are two types of celebrities who use their unborn children to score themselves more publicity: the Prudes and the Shameless. Not every pregnant celebrity wants to pull a Demi Moore, you see. Some, like Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Celine Dion, don't want to offend their base by showing too much skin. Others, like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, clearly see Moore's famous Vanity Fair cover as a necessary (and fun!) step in advancing one's career and deem it necessary to push cultural boundaries. So, what do your favorite celebrities score on either the Prude Meter™ or Shameless Meter™? There's only way to find out!

The Hillsville Police Department has arrested Phillip Talbert of Hillsville on a charge of sexual assault involving a child under the age of 13.
The investigation involved several months, according to Sgt. Junior Alderman, an investigator with the police department. Talbert, who has also been charged in Pulaski County for the same offense, is currently being held in the New River District Jail in Dublin.
Alderman added that Child Protective Services has been active in the case.
A traffic stop on the U.S. 58-Bypass resulted in the arrest of James E. Lovett of Ft. McCoy, Fla., on Sept. 28. Lovett is currently facing a felony domestic battery strangulation charge in that state. Officer Bradley Hoffman was assisted in the arrest by Officer Josh Edwards. Lovett is being held in the New River District Jail.
Sherri and Keith Spalding of Woodlawn are free on bond after being arrested on a charge of cashing counterfeit U.S. money orders. The couple cashed two counterfeit orders between Sept. 13 and Sept. 19, amounting to $1,845.
Alderman said the two were presently "trying to make restitution" to the businesses where they cashed the counterfeit orders.

NEW YORK (AP) — Robin Roberts will tell the story of her battle with a life-threatening illness in a new memoir.
Grand Central Publishing says the "Good Morning America" anchor will write the as-yet-untitled book for publication next April.
The publisher announced Wednesday that Roberts will write about her rare illness and her recovery, as well as the life lessons she continues to learn since her return to the "GMA" anchor desk.
The ABC News host underwent a bone marrow transplant in September to treat the blood and bone marrow disease. She was off work for five months before returning to the top-rated network morning show in February.
Her first book, "From the Heart: 7 Rules to Live By," was a New York Times best-seller in 2007.

Photo: Georges St-Pierre as Batroc the Leaper in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Although his fighting career may be over, we now have proof of former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierres burgeoning film career.
Marvel today released photos from its upcoming film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which hits theaters in April.
In the superhero flick, St-Pierre plays Batroc the Leaper, one of the films villains. The character first appeared in comic books in 1966. The mercenary is a master of savate, a French form of kickboxing.
St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) shot his role in the film in mid-2013, months before a November win over Johny Hendricks. The French-Canadian later announced an indefinite leave from the sport, and a return to the UFC now appears unlikely.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier also stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie. Its the first major Hollywood role for St-Pierre, whos previously appeared in some smaller action movies.
Georges doesn't have the mustache and therefore I am not impressed with his performance.

Computational Biology research encompasses many important aspects including molecular biophysics for bio-energy, genetic level pathogen identification for bio-security, and development of data analytics for human health. We develop and apply theoretical methods and computational algorithms for investigating processes that occur at the biomolecular level to entire organisms and microbial communities. At the fundamental level, we are interested in biomolecular structure, dynamics and function particularly in relation to the biophysical mechanism of enzyme catalysis. For applications in the area of bio-energy, we focus on the discovery of pathways and regulatory networks in plant-microbial communities (in association with the Plant Microbial Interfaces, PMI, initiative) and bio-energy related crops (in association with the Bio-energy Science Center, BESC).
In particular, we utilize novel algorithms to assign functions to the so-called hypothetical genes that could not be annotated by existing techniques and advance genome-wide association approaches to link genotypes and phenotypes in plants. These investigations take advantage of analytical approaches in mass-spectrometry and high-throughput transcriptomics algorithms developed in-house. We also utilize molecular simulations to dissect the mechanism for enzyme catalyzed biochemical processes that allow conversion of biomass into easily fermentable sugars. For the area of bio-security, we develop and apply high-performance algorithms to analyze metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data for genetic level pathogen identification.
Another major emphasis of the Computational Biology effort is to obtain fundamental knowledge that cannot be obtained by experimental techniques, but we also work closely with the experimental facilities including the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at ORNL for improving the quality of information that is obtained. Another aspect of the research involves most effective utilization of heterogeneous and energy efficient computer architectures for modeling and simulations related to biology. In the area of human health, we are developing hardware and software infrastructure that will enable real-time and near real-time analysis and extraction of knowledge from the vast amount of data that is being generated.
We're always happy to get feedback from our users. Please use the Comments form to send us your comments, questions, and observations.

Choosing a hotel in New Orleans is like choosing a delectable pastry in a French bakery: all beautifully detailed, sweetly nuanced, and beyond enticing. It is truly a delightful task that only increases anticipation of a trip to the Crescent City.
For the full flavor of the French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carré, several iconic hotels present historic, authentic experiences, steeped in curious detail warmed by Southern hospitality. The Hotel Monteleone, set like a diamond in the center of the Vieux Carré, is in its sixth generation of family ownership, continuing traditions for a pampered stay in New Orleans. Elaborately detailed from the entry and lobby, to the Carousel Bar and rooftop pool and spa, it is a French Quarter highlight.
The Roosevelt is another very popular high-end New Orleans hotel, with its Guerlain Spa, the Sazerac Bar, the famous Blue Room, and its Ramos Gin Fizz cocktails. Several smart boutique hotels, small inns, and reliably good chains provide convenient French Quarter hotel stays.
Nestled next to the convention center and the heart of the city, a New Orleans hotel stay in the French Quarter makes perfect sense, but hotels do exist in the Arts/Warehouse District, a short walk from the French Quarter, at a fraction of the price. The Garden District, about a 10-minute drive from the French Quarter, also offers boutique inns fashioned from graceful mansions in an upscale neighborhood at an affordable hotel price point.
Hotels in New Orleans
Let the good times roll in "The Big Easy"! Known for the unbridled revelry of its Mardi Gras celebrations, its role in musical history as the birthplace of jazz, and its unique blend of European, Caribbean, and African cultures, the city of New Orleans, LA, remains one of the most popular travel destinations in the U.S. If you're planning on visiting New Orleans for the first time, you are in for a truly unique experience and memories that will last you a lifetime. From its savory Creole cuisine to its pervasive Voodoo vibes, New Orleans has a feel all its own. Grab a shrimp po'boy from a street-side shop in the French Quarter and take a stroll down historic Bourbon Street. Then, head over to Frenchmen Street in Faubourg Marigny for some of New Orleans's best live music or take a ride in a streetcar and feast your eyes on the beautiful and iconic townhouses characteristic of the city's Spanish- and French-influenced architecture. If you're looking for a thrilling vacation in an eccentric city completely unlike any other, look no further than New Orleans! Hotels and other accommodations are just a click away right now on Travelocity. We'll save you money by finding you the best deals on cheap hotels in New Orleans.
French Quarter
Tourists from all over the world routinely find themselves bewitched by the charms of the French Quarter. Also known simply as "The Quarter," it is the oldest neighborhood in the city of New Orleans, and the district was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. Despite its name, the French Quarter is home to historic buildings that were largely built during a period of Spanish rule in the 1700s, and these structures bear more resemblance to Spanish colonial architecture than to anything French. Many tourists make their way to the French Quarter's infamous Bourbon Street every year to enjoy some Mardi Gras debauchery.
Other Attractions
Once you've had your fill of the French quarter, you can take a trip to The National World War II Museum on Magazine Street in the Warehouse District to learn more about America's role in the war. Open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the museum contains artifacts relating to World War II, including everything from old letters and photographs to authentic uniforms, weapons, and vehicles from the era. If you're not in town for New Orleans's legendary festival season, fear not! You can still get a taste of the Mardi Gras magic by visiting Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World. Not a museum but a functional workshop where artists spend each day constructing floats for upcoming parades, Mardi Gras World is an impressive spectacle rivaled only by the festival that lends it its name. Guided tours of the facility are offered every 30 minutes, seven days a week.
Mardi Gras
Every year in late winter, tourists flock to New Orleans for parades, masked balls, and various other forms of entertainment celebrating Mardi Gras. If you visit at this time of year, you and your family can enjoy the major parades that start uptown and run along Canal Street. As people gather to watch, colorful characters on brightly decorated floats throw strings of plastic beads and small toys to the crowds below. If you'd prefer, you can find slightly rowdier celebrations of Mardi Gras taking place on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter.
Live Jazz
Why not enjoy a night of live music in the city known as the birthplace of jazz? Frenchmen Street in Faubourg Marigny is the hub of the New Orleans music scene, and popular clubs like The Blue Nile, Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro, and Apple Barrel are great places to catch live jazz bands and solo acts every night of the week. You'll meet an eclectic mix of locals and travelers from all over the world, and you might just end up dancing the night away.
Barataria Bay
If you enjoy fishing, you can take a boat out into Barataria Bay for a reasonable price. Once the base of operations for notorious French pirate Jean Lafitte, the marshy bay is now the crux of the surrounding Barataria Country's thriving shrimp industry. There are a number of packages available from charter companies that will take you and your family or friends out into the bay on a fully equipped boat with an experienced captain who can give you pointers and may even clean your catch upon your return to port. For a fishing excursion you'll never forget, there's no place like New Orleans.
Maybe you're in the mood for something a bit more low-key. The New Orleans Museum of Art is home to an astounding collection of French and American artwork and is considered one of the top art museums in the south. Open Tuesday through Saturday, New Orleans's oldest art institution is a great place for quiet contemplation. Those who appreciate art should also consider visiting the Contemporary Arts Center. Located in the Warehouse District, the arts center houses daring exhibits in the visual and performing arts from both local and internationally known artists.
When to Go
The most popular time to visit the city of New Orleans is the festival season, roughly from February to May. The weather is generally milder during these months. But travelers interested in a vacation during peak season shouldn't put off booking their hotels. New Orleans is a prime destination for tourists at this time of year, and vacancies tend to disappear rapidly. You can beat the crowds by going in December and January, when the weather is still comfortable, or you can buy tickets for a summer or fall trip. Be aware, however, that summer and fall in New Orleans can be oppressively hot and humid and hurricanes are also a possibility during these seasons. On the other hand, the quieter seasons of summer and fall are an opportunity for some of the best prices on New Orleans hotels. New Orleans has something to offer no matter what time of year you go, and getting there is a snap with Travelocity. Book your hotel online now!

Mike Pierce: Nick Diaz is 'entertaining like Honey Boo-Boo'
Mike Pierce: Nick Diaz is 'entertaining like Honey Boo-Boo' | UFC News | LowKick.comSpeaking to Joeshowradio.com on the topic of the rumored Koscheck-Nick Diaz fight, Pierce recently offered some interesting words:
"I'm not in love with either of the guys, but Koscheck is a guy I've already fought once, and he's definitely a good fighter and everything. I wouldn't take that away from him. Maybe it's just the way I see Nick interact with the media. I look at him and shake my head like, 'What the hell?' I guess that's part of the fun with him is the way he responds to certain things, and the antics that he pulls in the Octagon. It's entertaining like the Jersey Shore is entertaining or Honey Boo Boo is entertaining. It's a freaking train wreck, yeah, of course it's going to get ratings and everything and people are going to talk about it, but it's not my preference, to be honest."
