Rose d'Or
Looking back over the past 5-6 years of award winners at this event, I find that there are only two from France and one frm Spain within that group. In addition, the link to the program for this year's event appears to be broken.

Mediterranean region news coverage in rest of world
I just posted a link to an interesting and pertinent story from Italy, filed for National Public Radio in the US. What I realized as I did was how oftern we hear there and read and see/hear elsewhere from those countries around the Mediterranean where there is a permanent correspondent and how rarely we hear from or about the others. Does nothing as interesting ever happen there? Not a chance, and the Italian story is a perfect example in that similarly concerning legislative initiatives pop up on occasion in all of the other two dozen Mediterranean countries. Why shouldn't they all be addressed or at least put in some sort of context that involves neighbors and regions?
Languages - "Books of The Times - In ‘Globish,’ Robert McCrum Traces the Spread of English" - NYTimes.com
How to apply this and other information to what is happening or might happen to languages in the Mediterranean, including English?

This really is at the heart of the Mediterranean Media Center concept - i.e., professional/social networking.

"The Associated Press: Greek PM denounces deaths of bank workers in riots"
From the story:
"....and journalists also walked off the job, suspending television and radio news broadcasts.
Some media — including state television and the Ta Nea newspaper Web site — later broke the strike to report on the deaths."

"Villefranche-sur-Mer près de Nice : M comme Méditerranée au Café des Sciences"
I attended this fascinating presentation.
Among other things, the speaker predicted that in hundreds of thousands of years, the Mediterranean will close at Girbraltar, the western part from Tunisia/Italy west will become a giant salt lake and eventually salt flats. The eastern part will be a separate lake with mountains arising on the northern coast of Libya and Egypt.

"Practical Traveler - Members-Only Web Sites Offer Discounts on Luxury Hotels" - NYTimes.com
A perfect AgePays service!
I think there is a core human desire to be on the inside, to be a member of something that seems to offer value for "membership", whether paid or free and on top of that - to be "invited" is, well, brilliant!

Greece - "La Grèce paralysée par une journée de mobilisation" - LeMonde.fr
It seemed to me that this was inevitable and I was surprised that none of the coverage of the austerity measures seemed to include this at the high probability level that it merited in my view. I fear that this will get worse before it is resolved in part because it is hard to imagine the exit road from the situation in which Greece finds itself. Austerity measures cannot solve most of the problems and become tiny band-aids on very serious illnesses.

We need to see more analysis of the impact of all of this on the Mediterranean region.

I sure hope we can make a lot more of this sort of thing available to people around the Mediterranean.
