Q: pip installs a django version different from the one specified in requirements.txt I'm trying to do the djangocms tutorial.
Everything is fine on my laptop (on Archlinux), but I tried to continue the project on a different computer (using Mac OS X).
I made my git clone, started a fresh virtualenv and tried to do a pip install -r requirements.txt.
Here is the content of my requirements.txt (I got it from a pip freeze output) :
dj-database-url==0.3.0
Django==1.6.11
django-classy-tags==0.6.2
django-cms==3.1.2
django-reversion==1.8.5
django-sekizai==0.8.2
Django-Select2==4.3.1
django-treebeard==3.0

pytz==2015.4
six==1.9.0
South==1.0.2
tzlocal==1.2
wheel==0.24.0

But the django version after the pip install is Django 1.7.4 (instead of Django 1.6.11).
And I don't understand why.
Here is the output of a pip freeze :

Django 1.7.4 seems to be installed at the end.
Why?
How could I avoid this? My current project can't work with this version and the tutorial requires Django 1.6.
EDIT :
I just found out that in the site-packages of my virtualenv, the version of django is 1.6.11. So my virtualenv may use the wrong site-package.
Why?
How could I fix this?
Usually, when we use a virtualenv, shouldn't it use the right site-package directory?

You have Django 1.7.4 installed already:
Found existing installation: Django 1.7.4. I believe that is the reason why Django 1.6.11 is not being installed. Hence the output message: Not uninstalling Django at /Volumes/Data/...

A: Someone on IRC explained me the problem :
It had to do with my sys.path and my $PYTHONPATH :
I added the main python path (the standard one, without using a virtualenv) in my $PYTHONPATH, so my $PYTHONPATH was added to my sys.path as a prefix, and the django from outside the virtualenv was imported prior to the one inside.
I only had to unset $PYTHONPATH in my ~/.zshrc and it worked like a charm!

Canada's supermarkets didn't get great marks on their sustainable seafood practices. Greenpeace has rated the 8 biggest supermarkets and 5 of them had better go back to school. Only Loblaw, Overwaitea and Safeway passed the sustainability test.
It's not great, but three years ago, when ratings first started, all eight failed the test. Now Loblaw (yes that is a name) has come first with 62%; that means they have implemented policies to switch their seafood to sustainable and certified, as well as dramatically improving their procurement and species selection.
Loblaw received a 62 per cent score on the Greenpeace Canada ranking, followed by Overwaitea (that's a name too, for a British Columbian chain) at 59 per cent, Safeway at 51 per cent, Sobeys at 45 per cent, Walmart and Metro at 43 per cent, Federated Co-operatives at 38 per cent and Costco at 37 per cent.
The report, Emerging from the Deep, Ranking Supermarkets on Seafood Sustainability, is the third one issued. Every supermarket failed in the first one. Loblaws was second in rank on the second one and now it has clawed its way to the top (from 43% to 62%).
According to Greenpeace, Loblaw has an ambitious programme to get rid of unsustainable products. It is working towards achieving a goal of only sourcing wild-caught and farmed sustainable products by 2013. It gets high marks for raising awareness (92%) but "there remains a disconnect between the corporate vision and what's seen in many Loblaw stores."
Overwaitea dropped to second place, but it was the first retailer to source a more sustainable alternative to net-pen farmed salmon last year and the first to stop sourcing Redlisted canned yellowfin tuna this year.
Safeway stayed in third place and Sobeys moved up to fourth. Metro tied Walmart for fifth place this year. Metro removed a number of Red List species from its shelves, including Northwest Atlantic cod. Walmart has comparatively few Redlist species and continues to seek more certified products in order to meet its 2013 goal of sourcing only certified seafood.
Federated Cooperatives Ltd. (FCL) and Costco stayed in the same place. Greenpeace said that Costco's "policy does not go as far as it needs to."
Greenpeace said that "All chains have made great gains, particularly around sustainable seafood policy implementation, labelling on seafood products, tracing fish from ocean to shelf and avoiding the sale of fish that are illegally caught. However, much work needs to be done before the bottom two companies are out of the red zone and the top companies are safely in the green."
The Red List is a group of species that Greenpeace thinks may come from unsustainable fisheries. Due to the high demand for fish,it has become harder for supermarkets to trace the supply chains for the fish. It is difficult to detect illegally caught fish and trace them to their source. The Redlist fish are the ones that Greenpeace want supermarkets to stop selling.
Right now Loblaw sells 8 Redlist species, Overwaitea sells 5 and Safeway sells six.


An evening of fun, good food and high spirits took place on April 30 at London Billiards as the GMA held its second "Shooting for the Stars" pool tournament. The fundraising event drew both experienced and amateur players, partnered to challenge each other to a friendly game or two. Monies raised will help the GMA further its goal of completing work on the Goddard Memorial site.


Paulson, probably trying to dispel rumors of a rift between the two during the stressful period, talked for a few solid minutes about how great George Bush was to him during everything.
"Bush, rather than making life difficult - there were times when he practically mothered me, to get me through this."
It's sweet of him to say, but also a little creepy given the strange mental image that comes to mind.

Travel Nursing Hospital Review of: Banner Estrella
17. How well staffed are they 1.4 1.0
I worked in the OR department(s) in the hospital. I'm not sure how this hospital became magnet when it's understaff and there is no true policies or protocols to follow. This place is not travelers friendly. Travelers get the worse schedule. The department has a lot of unintelligent CMs who does nothing but micromanaging. The director is very unprofessional. It sucks the life out of you to do a 13 weeks assignment there. Protect your license! 11/22/2018
Housing was approximately 5 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Very Expensive. Housing was located in city of Glendale . On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. The travel assignments doesn't pay enough to cover the cost of living in this state. Housing is getting very expensive. It doesn't worth traveling here unless you just want to enjoy the desert.
I worked in the Med Surg department(s) in the hospital. I got canceled a shift every single week of my contract. They hired on a bunch of travelers and then cancelled us every week. They are always understaffed, I was given new admits minutes after discharges and pressured to discharge people as fast as possible, absolutely no help from charge nurses there since they don't exist. I also often felt the travelers got the worse patient assignments. Scheduling would often call you and put you on delay- asking you to call back in four hours, effectively putting you on call without having to pay you anything. 03/04/2017
Housing was approximately 16 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Zazu Panee. Housing was located in city of Phoenix. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. Loved my housing, was central to everything I wanted to do.
I worked in the PCU department(s) in the hospital. Worst place I've ever worked out of 12 facilities I've been to in 5 years. Scheduling was horrific, I was never on my assigned floor, I was always dually scheduled. Their overflow floor had no equipment, food, not even tele monitors and they gave me a cardizem drip up there. Among a long list of complaints, I would NOT recommend anyone work there for their PCU. Lots of core staff leaving. 10/16/2015
Housing was approximately 6 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was found personal. Housing was located in city of Avondale. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5.
I worked in the Cath Lab department(s) in the hospital. Cancelled the contract of all the travelers 2 weeks before contract was to be completed without warning, nothing said directly other than, at the end of the day asked if I were to come in the next day after learning the other traveler's contract was cancelled. Was told that at end of day I was free to go. Very unprofessional. 06/03/2015
Housing was approximately 4.5 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Private Condo. Housing was located in city of Glendale. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 4. Housing was the best part of being here. Hospital was much to be desired.
I worked in the Tele department(s) in the hospital. Understaffed, scheduling is completely unorganized - many times I was dually scheduled. They piled the work on me as the traveler. I would get 2 admissions and other nurses got none. Given cardiac drip patients on an overflow flow which wasn't equipped with telemetry monitors. Staff often complained that hospital reputation was bad, their own staff left for other campuses. Supervisors were taking patients every night because they were so understaffed. they were no help to clinical/scheduling issues. You were ignored or punished for addressing your concerns. My contract was terminated once I dropped the "unsafe conditions" terminology. Can't say I'm too upset about it. My license was on the line. Have heard great things about Banner, but Estrella campus is a cluster F, as another traveler put it, who was also unsatisfied. 03/17/2015

The 17th Infantry Regiment has a long tradition, reaching back to the second half of the 17th century. It was established in 1674 in Bohemia and was one of the oldest regiments in the Habsburg Monarchy. Its history is closely linked to Kranjska (Carniola), where the regiment drafted new members from 1817 onwards and to Ljubljana, where its headquarters were. The territorial principle of mobilization and military service thus transformed it into a local, Kranjska regiment. Its military duties included various locations in the Apennine peninsula and in Dalmatia. In 1848 and 1849 it fought in Italy and Hungary. It took part in the Battle of Solferino in June, 1859, and in 1866 in the Battle of Custozza. Its military path in Bosnia in Herzegovina, where it played an important role in the conquest of the land, was in 1878 chronicled by Jernej Andrejka. The regiment's day, 7 August, was chosen because of the Battle of Jajce. The name of the regiment is linked to the fights in Livno and the construction of the road from Polog to Livno. In 1893, three battalions moved to Klagenfurt, the headquarters of the first battalion remained in Ljubljana. The general public called the battalion the 'Carniolan Johns (Kranjski Janezi)', as most of its members were Slovenians. The patron of the regiment was first Ritter von Milde and in November 1916, the patron became Otto von Habsburg, son of the last Habsburg emperor, Karl. Because of him, the regiment and its soldiers were also called 'Imperials'.
In the First World War, the Regiment fought on the Russian front – Eastern front and the front towards Italy - the Isonzo (Soča) and Tyrol Fronts, from Doberdob in the Kras (Karst) to Monte Chiesa. On 12 August 1914, the regiment was transported to the Russian battlefields and their baptism of fire was on 26 August 1914 in Galicia, at Majdan Gologorski. It took part in many battles on the eastern front, suffering heavy casualties. The regiment retreated to the Dukla Pass in the Carpathian Mountains. In October 1915, it was transferred to the Isonzo Front, where it joined the 10th Infantry Battalion, which defended the Doberdob positions even since the first Italian attack in May 1915. It was positioned before Podgora and Oslavje. In March 1916, they were moved to the Tyrol battlefields and joined the Great Tyrol Spring Offensive. Monte Chiesa, close to the area, still called the Valley of Slovenians, and Ortigara, Asiago, Monte Val Bella and the valley Asse are areas where the regiment was entrenched until the end of the War. In the last year of the War, on 12 May, the soldiers of the replacement battalions of the regiment, staying in Judenburg, rebelled because of the bad conditions.
In 1918, the Regiment took part in the failed Austro-Hungarian June Offensive in Piava and at the end of the war the soldiers became prisoners of war of Italians; many returned only in 1919. In the 17th Infantry Regiment, numerous famous Slovenians served as soldiers and officers. Many never managed to return home and are buried in various military cemeteries. With the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the memory of the regiment, its famous past and the fate of Slovenian soldiers, making up almost 82 % of the regiment, was fading into obscurity. Today the memories are returning into public consciousness and are deservedly placing the regiment into the heart of the Slovenian military, war and cultural history.


Over the past two decades, diesel engines have become more popular in the US market and during that time, there has been a growing demand for a Ford F-150 with a diesel engine. The discussions really picked up in the early 2000s and inside information suggested that the Motor Company was working on a diesel F-150, but when fuel prices skyrocketed in 2006, that project was allegedly shelved.
Fast forward to 2014 – fuel prices were back down and the American market was seeing a new influx of diesel-powered vehicles. One of those was the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, which set the bar high for half-ton fuel economy while also showing that a "small diesel" would appeal to US buyers. Once Ram fans had their half-ton diesel, the demand for an F-150 with an oil-burner intensified.
With the arrival of the 2018 Ford F-150 PowerStroke, decades of demands have been answered and this new engine is everything that the truck community had hoped.
I traveled to Denver, Colorado as a guest of the Motor Company to drive the 2018 Ford F-150 with the 3.0-liter PowerStroke diesel and while there, I got to experience the new engine in a variety of key situations. We got to play on an off-road course for a bit and the diesel F-150 did great in the mud, sand and water, but where this new mill really shines is on the open road with a horse trailer hooked up out back.
As a horse owner, I test every new truck and SUV with a standard 2-horse trailer that weighs around 5,000 pounds. At the media first drive program for the new PowerStroke F-150, they had three trucks hooked to trailers – one with an enclosed car trailer, one with a boat and one with a 2-horse trailer that weighed 5,040 pounds. It was the perfect stand-in for my normal test trailer, so that was what I picked to take to the streets of Colorado.
The new 3.0-liter PowerStroke diesel delivers 250 horsepower and 440lb-ft of torque, making it slightly more powerful than Ram's 3.0-literl EcoDiesel at 240/420, but with a towing capacity of 11,400 pounds, the new Ford diesel offers significantly greater functionality (than the previous generation Ram 1500). Even in the thin Denver air, the PowerStroke diesel engine handled the added weight with ease, smoothly pulling the trailer up the steepest hills in the area and cruising at highway speeds without breaking a sweat.
The functionality of the diesel engine is a key reason why people have been wanting one in the F-150, so it comes as little surprise that the new PowerStroke handled this average trailer so easily. Moving out from a stop, all of that torque immediately gets the combo moving without any suggestion of boost lag, with the 10-speed automatic transmission zipping through gears as speeds climb. This small engine allows the F-150 to accelerate as quickly as a horse owner would want from a stop and when cruising at speed, that extra weight is hardly noticeable when you hit a steep hill or some other situation that requires lots of mid-range power.
For someone who wants a little more grunt from their new F-150 when pulling a 2-horse trailer, this engine is just about perfect.
After spending a few hours with the diesel F-150 and the horse trailer, I moved over to a truck without any extra weight out back. With this truck, I took to the streets of Colorado to experience the power of this new diesel engine without any limitations (other than local laws, of course).
I set the drive mode to Sport, affording the crispest and most aggressive shifts and the most positive throttle response from the new F-150. On a hard launch, the torque curve is a bit smoother than the Ram EcoDiesel, with less of the hard spike when the boost levels ramp up, and that big torque moves the truck up past any posted speed limit in impressive fashion.
I don't expect that many racers are going to pick the new PowerStroke F-150 for a go-fast project, but for those perspective buyers who want the working ability of a diesel and superior fuel economy – this new engine doesn't include any compromise in daily driving performance.
Finally, after experiencing the new Ford F-150 with the 3.0-liter PowerStroke diesel in the mud, with a horse trailer and without any extra weight, we took a new half-ton diesel truck on a loop designed to test the fuel economy capabilities in the real world. This drive route had an even balance of city streets and highway driving, with plenty of steep uphill grades, traffic and stoplights along the way.
The journalist who got the best average fuel economy on this route got a trophy and a cash prize, so some people went all out, coasting down hills, folding in the mirrors, keeping speeds low in all situations – and that allowed them to average around 40 miles per gallon.
I am not patient enough for all of that, so on the fuel economy loop, I drove the PowerStroke'd F-150 conservatively, but I drove in a manner that wouldn't enrage other drivers around me. Basically, I drove the truck how I would drive it during my daily drive if I was low on fuel, and I averaged 29 miles per gallon. Mind you, that is in the thin Colorado air with traffic, stop lights and big hills, so getting near 30mpg without any special methods is impressive for a half-ton truck.
For decades, the truck community has been calling for half-ton trucks with diesel engines that combined performance, capabilities and fuel economy – and the new 3.0-liter PowerStroke answers those expectations perfectly. This is the diesel F-150 that Ford fans have been calling for to battle the EcoDiesel Ram 1500, with more power, more capabilities and better fuel economy – all of which lead to a great engine option for anyone who is looking for a truck that shines with and without a heavy load.
I absolutely agree that Americans want diesel pickup trucks, but I'd disagree that we've yet to get one. Only those who want a fancy and expensive pickup north of $40K get a diesel pickup, but everyone who wants or needs a reasonable pickup is still waiting. First up was the Ram 1500 with the Ecodiesel V6. They came close to giving America the first diesel pickup offering it as low as around $38K in a quad cab, but the problem is that at the time they offered their diesel, one could buy a Ram 1500 regular cab work truck for around $25K, so $13K more for a pickup that is more than some want or need in a pickup is a lot to pay extra for one with a diesel engine. I heard rumors that one could get a regular cab long bed for around $34K, and if that were true, then Ram truly got close to offering, but I never saw such an animal on a build site, nor did I ever see one in real life. Then came a much-awaited 4 cylinder from GM. A 4 cylinder that's cast iron that uses solenoid injectors in a mid-size truck, south of 200 horsepower ought to be offered at a reasonable price right? Wrong! GM sells the Colorado and Canyon starting under $22K, but the cheapest Duramax diesel starts with 4 big doors, lots of fancy features and dedicated towing features and requires $36K. GM's entry was baffling to me. They went through great lengths to reduce costs for this diesel. They brought back cheaper solenoid injectors which left for a while when "clean" came to the diesel market; they use the cheapest material that can be used for an engine block. They have it built in Thailand, but yet they can't give it up for less than $14K over the base price of those trucks. Now we have Ford's entry. Ford is normally very good at letting customers choose any of their engines even in the lower trims and smaller configurations. For example, you can build on their website the most basic F150 with the base 3.3L, the 2.7L twin turbo Ecoboost, and the 5.0L V8; adding a grand for each step up, and to get their top-tier engine, all one has to do is take a long bed and a little more money. But when the diesel came to market they've gone the way of GM. The F150 starts at or about $27.4K before destination. The cheapest diesel, however, requires Super Cab and Lariat trim and then an extra $4,000 bringing the truck that starts under $29K up to $46.4K for the cheapest version of the diesel. GM is up next with an all-new, American-designed, American built inline six. It'll probably used GCI block, but they'll likely use solenoid injectors and find some other cost savings since they'll the advantage of technological progress since this engine will be new from the ground up. But I can almost guarantee, as GM has done with the baby Duramax and the price of the Equinox / Terrain diesel, it'll come in at a high trim level/configuration, and then you'll add thousands of dollars to that price. So I quit waiting on a diesel. I got a 2015 F150 with the 2.7L Ecoboost. I get 24 mpg lifetime, and it cost $27.8K brand new with chrome bumpers, cruise controls, power glass and mirrors and aluminum wheels. The diesel price starts at almost $19K more than my truck. No thanks. Don't need to carry a family. Don't want a monster truck. Don't want a fancy truck. Just a basic, modern pickup with a diesel engine. No one makes one and no one will. They cost too much to build and certify. I'll pass.
This has a lot to do with the trucking industry not wanting non-truckers in their lines. Almost no new light-duty vehicles are being built to handle these larger nozzles. Someone needs to come out with an adapter, and that puts oil burners back in their lines, which sometimes, is the only diesel fuel available at some stops; and it also keeps oil-burner light-duty folks from having to wait in line behind inconsiderate gas hogs who pull right up to the diesel pump when the other islands are available.

Ohio State's AD shares insights that come with a decade on the job.
Interview by Jay Hansen
Growing up, who were the leaders and mentors in your life?
I was blessed. I had two beautiful parents. My father [Ted] was an electrical contractor who served in the Navy. Born in Kokomo, Indiana, but raised in Kentucky. My mom [Elizabeth] was a nurse for 33 years and was actually the nurse for the great Dr. [Benjamin] Spock A noted pediatrician, Spock wrote Baby and Child Care in 1946, and it's still one of the best-selling books of all time, topping 50 million copies sold. Elizabeth Smith was a nurse for Spock from the late 1960s until the early 1980s at University Hospitals in Cleveland. So those were the people I had to look up to.
As I got to be 5, 6 years old, I began to go to work with my dad. He had me cleaning up job sites and things of that nature. The carpenters, the masonry guys, the plumbers — all those people became my mentors. I heard a lot of stories at a young age from guys who lived a very tough life. I learned a lot of my values from listening to those men and the things they had to overcome in their lives.
How did you first get interested and involved with athletics?
I didn't really participate in organized sports until the 10th grade. My parents took me out of the public school system in Cleveland after the ninth grade and sent me to a private school in Bedford, Ohio, so I bussed from the east side of Cleveland to St. Peter Chanel, an all-boys private school.
I was one of three African Americans at that school out of about 800 students. And they all came up through the Catholic system. So I was really an outsider. My teams — the football team, the basketball team, the track team — those teams became the place where it was appropriate to blow some steam off if something had happened that day, but it also became the place I could go to and find comfort.
AD Gene Smith sits down with Ohio State Alumni magazine to discuss his first decade on the job.
Was the recruiting process the reason you developed an interest in playing football in college?
My aspiration was to go to a two-year school and then go back and work with my dad as an electrician. That was my life plan because I grew up in construction and was wiring homes when I was 13 years old.
Then all of a sudden in my sophomore year I really started getting recruited. I got some letters, and then in my junior year it really blew up. I actually came down here and visited The Ohio State University. John Hicks Hicks was a three-time letter winner for Ohio State, and his teams compiled a 28-3-1 record during the 1970, '72 and '73 seasons. He was the first Buckeye player to compete in three Rose Bowls. was my host. We had a pre-existing relationship with John because my sister knew him, so he was my host, and Ohio State was really my second choice to Notre Dame at the time.
What gave Notre Dame the edge?
I had a good friend from Warren, Ohio, named Ross Browner, who actually went on to play professionally with Archie [Griffin] with the Bengals Browner, a defensive end, and Griffin played together for five seasons with the Bengals. "Ross was a great player for us. He was team MVP in his first year in 1978 and that really set the tone for a great career," Griffin said. "His quickness, speed, instincts and knowledge of the game really set him apart from other players.". Ross and I had become close friends, and we started getting recruited together. When we went to Notre Dame, Ara Parseghian was the coach at the time, and we felt really comfortable in that small environment. It was 8,400 students then, which I believe it still is today. We met some guys we got close with, and it became more about those relationships.
What was it like being a part of a college football program with a national following?
It was unreal. That first year, we won the national championship in 1973. We were undefeated. We had a coach by the name of Greg Blache, who worked with the black athletes there "I would never have gotten through school were it not for Greg Blache," Smith said. Blache had a 37-year coaching career in college and the NFL. He served as defensive coordinator for NFL franchises in Chicago and Washington.. He told us that we were going to meet people. He said, "They're going to give you their business cards. When you get their business card, write on the back of the business card where you met them." So it became a thing where we were just collecting cards and playing games with it. "I got this many cards, how many did you get?" And that helped us quantifiably understand the magnitude of Notre Dame. Over time, you really appreciate that, much like Ohio State, you can go anywhere in the country and find an alumni contact.
As you approached college graduation at Notre Dame, what were your initial career aspirations?
I was sitting and watching a highlight reel from the year before in the auditorium in the football offices at Notre Dame, and (then head coach) Dan Devine came and sat next to me. He asked me what I was going to do. And I told him I actually had about seven or eight interviews lined up, including one with Secret Service and FBI in Washington, D.C., that I was kind of looking forward to. Dan said, "Have you ever thought about being a graduate assistant?" I said, "No, what is that?" Ultimately he asked me to stay on as a grad assistant. One of the full-time assistant coaches then left, and Dan promoted me to full-time assistant and head coach of the junior varsity. I got into coaching and did that for four years before going to IBM when (Devine) left.
You've talked about your time at IBM being hugely influential in your life. What was so formative about that experience?
It was the coolest experience of all time. My football experience is at the top of the pyramid, but my experiences with IBM are right there with it. This is in the early '80s, so 1981–83. At that point, no one had computers. No one. They sent us to Atlanta for training where we learned how to program, because we had to understand how computers worked so as a salesman you wouldn't overpromise.
I really got into it. I learned how they worked, then went back to South Bend. St Joe's County was my sales area. Because of my name recognition as a coach, I could get in to see the CEOs. Rather than working through the controller or the office manager, I could go straight in to see the CEO and talk to them about the computers. And I learned a lot and became a very effective salesman. I made their Hundred Percent Club in the first year IBM's Hundred Percent Club was established in 1925 and recognizes salespeople who meet or exceed their annual sales quota..
You were at Arizona State prior to coming to Ohio State. What made you decide to come to Columbus?
It was home. My parents were getting to a point in life where it would be nice to be close to them. It was obviously a great program. At the end of the day, it was The Ohio State University brand. I knew — and I know — the power of The Ohio State University. I'd been married and gotten divorced, and then met [my wife] Sheila when I was at Eastern Michigan. I remember she asked me, "What is your goal?"
I told her, "I want to be at a place where every Saturday morning I wake up and know our football team has a chance to win."
At Eastern Michigan and Iowa State, that was a challenge. At Arizona State, we had a little bit better chance. But here, I knew I could actually realize that dream. Since Smith took over as athletic director, Ohio State football teams have compiled a 110-21 record and lost more than three games in a season only once..
Alumni have been vocal throughout the years about various changes in football ticket policies and procedures. What would you tell an alumnus who may not like a decision that's changed his or her access to tickets?
We are inclusive in our decision-making in everything we do. There are very few decisions I make on my own, sitting in that chair over there. As an athletic department, we are totally integrated into the bigger university picture. We're not one that sits on an island and says, "Let's get the athletic director and the ticket manager and a marketing guy in a room and we're going to make the decision on how it is going to go." We don't do it that way.
But when you have a product, and there's supply and demand, you're going to have issues. You just have to make sure you are operating with integrity and making the best-informed decision you can so that you can ultimately do what's right.
How do you balance the needs of all the groups that have the option to purchase football tickets?
There is no stadium in the country, not one, that sits the multiple constituencies like we sit. That's been an established tradition here, and it's existed for a long time. We have Varsity O, season-ticket holders, donors, faculty and staff, long-term season-ticket holders, corporate sponsors and alums. We have 29,000 students we accommodate, and no one in the country comes close to that number.
What we try to do is work collaboratively with representatives of those constituencies who serve on the [Athletic] Council. This is a broad-based group of people, and working with them forces us to make decisions that aren't conceived in a vacuum. You are never going to satisfy everyone, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to.
Many universities have been subtracting sports in recent years, but Ohio State has not and still boasts the nation's largest athletic program. Why has this institution maintained so many sports that other schools have eliminated?
Frankly, because right now we can afford it. Most of those decisions where sports are getting eliminated are about money. We're fortunate that we have the revenue stream that allows us to continue to support those programs. When you have the chance to create a remarkable experience for a talented young person in a particular sport that has great history and tradition here, then why wouldn't you continue to do that?
Gene Smith hangs out with members of the synchronized swimming team after it won the team's 29th national championship in March.
What do you have to say about Ohio State teams winning five national championships in 2014–15?
It is really remarkable. When you consider the history of athletic excellence at Ohio State, I was shocked that this was the first time we'd won five in a year. It was a great accomplishment. When you look at what we're trying to achieve across the board, those teams and coaches become exemplars for our other programs. I take a great deal of pride in those national championships. Nationally, it has happened before, but certainly not with any regularity. It's an unbelievable feat.
What role does fan support play in helping your programs achieve success?
We wouldn't be able to do what we do without great fan support. It is everywhere. In Ohio, around the country, around the world there are Buckeye fans. And when we welcome prospective student-athletes to our campus, they see the fan passion and engagement and excitement. Those elements definitely help us recruit the best student-athletes. And fans really provide us with the resources we need to build winning programs and people. They put the resources in our hands that allow us to get the best athletes and best coaches and teachers and have them compete and practice in the best facilities. We're blessed in that regard. I've been at a lot of places in 30-plus years and our fan passion and commitment are unmatched.
How has the Big Ten Network helped both Ohio State and the conference?
It's been wildly successful. We're in 70 million homes nationally and internationally. You know it's funny, I remind my colleagues when we go to AD meetings that when I go to my wife's hometown in West Vancouver, B.C., she can get the Big Ten Network there, but not ESPN in their basic cable. And when we have a softball game on and an athlete from California and those parents can see their daughter play, that's huge for us. Financially, it's been phenomenal This past year, the Big Ten Network distributed roughly $1 million to each conference school as part of revenue sharing. This was the first year schools received those extra funds.. Some of the shows that have emerged on it are outstanding. "The Journey," I think, is one of the best shows there is and we do some great features on our institutions. So it's worked extremely well.
Where do you stand on the subject of paying players in addition to the scholarships they receive to represent Ohio State?
I'm not a big proponent of pay to play, but I'm a huge proponent of providing athletes with the resources they need. This is still an educational system. This is not professional.
Athletes gain an unbelievable amount of educational experiences here. The lessons learned through participation in sports and what we provide them — there's a dollar tag associated with that. Take one of our student-athletes: That athlete has a nutritionist, a sports psychologist, an athletic trainer, a strength coach, a head coach, a position coach, a sport administrator, an academic advisor. Other students on campus don't have that. There's a whole infrastructure that helps student-athletes develop and be the best they can be.
I've always been a proponent of finding more ways to provide financial resources for athletes. I've been fighting for that for 10 to 12 years. Passing cost of attendance helps with that In January, college athletics' power-5 conferences (Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, ACC and Pac-10) voted to allow schools to provide student-athletes with the full cost of attendance as part of their scholarships. This covers cost-of-living expenses that previously were not a part of athletic scholarships.. So in-state cost of attendance is $3,000 more than your direct expenses here at Ohio State, it's 3,400 if you're out of state. So now students get that extra money. When we say stipends, people aren't typically on the same page as that. For us, that's cost of attendance. The athlete gets more money in their pocket. Now it's a little different if you're off campus or if you're on campus, but that's in place that gets them more money.
The other piece that I think is very important to keep looking at is everything around their meals, travel, loosening up the per diem allotment, all those kinds of things. This past year, they passed meal legislation that says we can feed athletes anything we want at any time. That was huge and addressed a big issue.
What about providing athletes payment for their images or likenesses?
I'm not in favor of that. It changes the collegiate model significantly. If the O'Bannon case, which was approved by a judge in California, is not overturned on appeal, then we'll be into a mode where we have to pay for student-athletes likenesses O'Bannon v. NCAA is an antitrust class-action lawsuit filed by former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon. He filed suit after his likeness was used in a video game without his receiving compensation. District Judge Claudia Wilken ruled in favor of O'Bannon last summer. The NCAA is appealing the decision.. Now it wouldn't happen right away. There would be a long length of time before we got clarity on what the judge meant specifically in her ruling. But if we get to that, you can pay up to $5,000 per athlete for their likeness. That changes the collegiate model significantly. We'd have a lot of schools that would drop sports.

The Tory plan for the first 100 days of government
The Prime Minister has consistently vowed to leave the EU by January 31.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson during a visit to the Copper Box Arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, while on the General Election campaign trail.
By Catherine Wylie, PA
Boris Johnson has promised that 2020 will be the year that Brexit uncertainty finally comes to an end – and he plans to take the UK out of the EU in his first 100 days in government.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/the-tory-plan-for-the-first-100-days-of-government-38779934.html

The Prime Minister has consistently vowed to leave the EU by January 31 and then finalise a trade deal with Brussels within 11 months, to meet the transition period deadline.
But the viability of that time frame has been questioned in Brussels, with the European Union's chief negotiator Michel Barnier branding it "unrealistic".

The Tories plan to announce their legislative programme on December 19 in a new Queen's Speech.
The EU Withdrawal Act Bill will also be brought back to the Commons before Christmas.
Before 100 days have passed, the Conservatives have said they would have delivered a "post-Brexit Budget" in February which will cut taxes for hardworking families, changed the law to end the automatic release of serious violent and sexual offenders at the halfway point, and launched a review of defence, security and foreign policy.
The party said in the first 100 days they would legislate for a funding increase to schools, change the law to increase the amount that migrants pay to use the NHS, begin cross-party talks to find a solution to the challenge of social care, and finalise an agreement with mobile phone operators to improve mobile service in the countryside.
The party also said they will have introduced:
– legislation to ensure the extra £33.9 billion per year they say they are putting in to the NHS by 2023 is enshrined in law
– legislation to create a new Australian-style points-based immigration system
– legislation for tougher sentences to ensure terrorists spend longer in prison.
– legislation to create a system which prevents "vexatious claims" being brought against Armed Forces veterans.
They have also promised to set out future schemes for trade, agriculture, fishing and the environment once the UK leaves the EU.
But delivering those schemes will rely on trade deals with the EU and others – and they will take many more than 100 days to sort out.

Understand the landscape before deciding to integrate a physical therapist into your practice.
If you're like the majority of chiropractors working as a solo practitioner, the thought of branching out into a multidisciplinary operation has likely crossed your mind.
Perhaps you've toyed with the idea of integrating with a massage therapist, acupuncturist, or medical doctor in the hopes of expanding your services and appealing to a larger patient base.
Depending on your interest in muscle rehabilitation and function, you may have considered partnering with a physical therapist, given the over-lapping familiarity with certain codes and philosophy between the two professions.
The potential benefits of collaboration may pique your interest and inspire you to create a multifaceted rehabilitation practice. But before delving into lofty reveries of flourishing cash flow and seamless integration, evaluate whether adding a PT would be a feasible direction for your practice, based on a number of logistical and legal factors.
The first step you should take in appraising your viability in this market is a mental one. To lay the groundwork for your decision, ask yourself some important questions about the nature of your current modus operandi and whether your routine is flexible enough to permit a significant change.
That's not to say you shouldn't think about the extra money. But if it's your only reason for doing this, you may regret it.
Prior to making any plans, be sure that you have enough patients already coming to your practice. Mark Sanna, DC, president and CEO of Breakthrough Coaching, says that chiropractors with 80 to 100 patient visits per week benefit most from the multidisciplinary practice model.
Daniel H. Dahan, DC, senior consultant with Consultants of America, estimates that number to be a little higher at 125 patient visits per week, with a minimum of 15 to 20 new patients per month.
Dahan recommends making sure you have enough funds to cover the expenses to set up this kind of enterprise. He estimates between $5,000 and $10,000 will be needed.
For this reason, Sanna encourages the owners of multidisciplinary practices to review these structures with local legal counsel familiar with healthcare law to minimize the risk of a challenge. "The overriding legal issue relating to multidisciplinary practices is that, when required by the CPM doctrine, the medical physician plays a bona fide role as the owner and supervisor of medical services," he says.
Likewise, it's crucial to find out what current legislation in your state says about physicians and DCs hiring physical therapists, Higashi says. In addition to making sure that you can establish this type of practice, find out whether your state has any laws or proposed bills to eliminate this practice model. "The last thing DCs want to do is spend all the money and cost to set up an integrated model, recruit and hire a PT, and later find out that, with a stroke of a pen, the model could be outlawed," she says.
If you are in a state where you cannot legally hire a PT, you may be able to have one come to your office and work in conjunction as an associate to the practice. Consult with your specialized legal counsel to make sure that this arrangement is properly organized, Dahan says.
Not sure how to contact a PT? The experts suggest connecting with PTs employed within your community as well as PT schools, employment agencies, websites that promote available PT positions, and graduating students by posting on bulletin boards at the schools. You can also take an ad in local classifieds, medical journals in your area, or regional medical trade magazines. If need be, you can pay a headhunter or recruiter to find the right person for you.
If your state allows integration with a PT, think about what is important to you before conducting interviews. It's essential to hire someone you will work well with and whose philosophies mesh with yours.
Some PTs specialize—so check to ensure that a candidate will fit into your practice. Someone who focuses on urinary incontinence or hand rehabilitation may not be the best match.
In addition to obtaining counseling about available practice structures and getting familiar with your state's legislation, you also need to understand the billing complications that arise with an integrated operation. "Some insurance policies allow multidisciplinary practice members of separate licenses to access separate insurance benefits," Sanna says. "Other policies lump all benefits under one category. He emphasizes that chiropractic services—services and procedures performed by the chiropractor—are to be billed under the DCs provider number. In addition, when patients go to see a PT, they must have a current prescription for PT before any services are performed.
If you can't hire a PT, and choose to rent space to one, Higashi has this caution: "Note that many DCs have structured the payment by and between themselves and the PT in such a way that it violates Stark law, fee splitting, and self-referral laws," she says. Higashi has heard of chiropractors charging inflated rent in establishing a financial partnership with a PT to work around state laws that forbid integration. But this practice is generally illegal as you can't set rates beyond what's considered fair market value.
Higashi advocates that you and the PT share front-office staff—provided your state allows it. Make sure your staff understands what changes will take place and that the distribution of work between team members is fair. If you're splitting costs based on work performed or the number of staff members involved, she suggests reviewing those numbers each quarter in case growth or decline in work occurs.
As for sharing space and possibly equipment, Dahan encourages a mutual understanding that your two professions are not competing but rather complementing each other.
Inform local physicians of your practice transformation as well, Dahan says. They might make referrals to your PT if they know you have one. "If you do it well and legally, you will love it and make people better," Higashi says.

Record Quest: Missouri
At Dave and Carmen Forbes' north Missouri farm, the land is managed for deer, and an invitation to hunt here...
By Andrew McKean | Published Oct 5, 2010 4:52 PM
The entry sign as you drive into the modest farmyard reveals the priorities of the landowners. A big gobbler is carved in one side of the log, and a thumper whitetail on the other.
Dave Forbes, on the right in his go-everywhere golf cart, is the co-CEO of Hunter's Specialties out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. If you're a hunter, you're familiar with the company's iconic white-and-yellow packaging, and products as diverse as wildlife calls to scent-killing spray to food-plot seeds to camouflage tape.
Everything is done to perfection here, from the food plots to the bow range. As we drove in the yard at dark, I mistook the 3-D targets for a herd of impressive bucks. The range, with dozens of block and life-size targets from 10 to 60 yards, was a great way to tune pins and ensure my bow was shooting true.
The farm covers about 1,000 acres of rolling hills and productive stream bottoms. There is no livestock here, and no commodity grain production. Fields are cultivated with deer in mind, and food plots are planted to HS's Vita-Rack blends. HS scientist Dave Fuhr holds up a choice turnip.
Fuhr enhances a lick with a dose of Vita-Rack 26, a blend of minerals and food-grade vitamins that enhance whitetail nutritional systems.
Here's a lick site I found returning from one of my stands. Notice how well-used the site is, with the deer literally eating a hole in the ground to get every bit of the supplement.
Forbes and Fuhr are developing a next-generation remote camera. This model features an infrared light that illuminates the field of view out to 200 yards, and a solar-powered power plant provides juice for a broadband transmitter that sends HD video to a server. The footage is able to be viewed from anywhere you can get an internet connection.
With all the deer-centric technology on C and D Farms, the neighbors are pretty traditional. This is Amish country, and we see almost as many horse-drawn buggies on the highways as four-wheel-drive pickups.
The hunting world comes to Dave Forbes with new products. While I was at the farm, the marketing folks at Tomberlin, a new electric vehicle with plenty of appeal for hunters, paid a call to show off their new Vanish 4×4. Here, David Turner shows us the vehicle's features.
While Turner was preparing to take the Vanish for a spin, a horse and buggy clopped past on the highway. A meeting of the old and new.
Of course, I'm here to hunt deer, and I know a little bit about this corner of the world. I grew up on a farm about 60 miles to the northwest of here, and everything from the terrain to the vegetation to some of the more humble human dwellings is familiar to me.
I'm hunting with Mark Melotik of Bowhunting World, and we both are experimenting with scent-covering technology. I tell Mark that his "natural-earth" wafer on his head looks like it is a receiver for alien radio transmissions.
Dave Forbes insists that we wear six scent wafers, three each of cedar and natural earth. We are fully engaged in scent control, taking a shower before each morning and evening sit, and washing our clothes after each hunt in scent-controlling detergent. Part of my job here is to see if scent control really works.
Dave has around 50 tree stands set up on his property. Many are well camouflaged in the branches of grand trees, like this white oak.
Every lock-on ladder is accompanied by a safety rope, and each rope has a Prussic knot tied to it. The idea of the Prussic is simple. It's a sliding choke knot. You clip your safety harness into the sliding knot, and move the knot up the safety rope as you climb. That way, even if you slip off the ladder, the knot will tighten and arrest your fall.
The view from one of many seats I graced during my week in Missouri.
This stand overlooks two food plots. To one side, a sprawling clover field.
On the other side, a luxurious winter forage plot.
A good hour before sunset the deer start feeding out of the timber and into the food plots. In all, I spy over 100 deer in this tight creek valley.
Unfortunately, I didn't kill a buck here. I saw plenty of good deer, and nearly drew on a heavy 4×4 that walked to 60 yards before turning away. The scent-control efforts apparently worked because he arrived from dead downwind. But all I came away with is an invitation to return to C and D Farms next year. I'll be here.
At Dave and Carmen Forbes' north Missouri farm, the land is managed for deer, and an invitation to hunt here is the equivalent of winning the whitetail lottery. OL's hunting editor, Andrew McKean, was recently there to test his luck.

Review of Sword of Fargoal (Fargoal LLC, 2009) for the iPod Touch and iPhone
Wed, 12/30/2009 - 3:36pm — Bill Loguidice
Released earlier this month, Sword of Fargoal for the iPod Touch and iPhone ("iTouch") has had no shortage of pre-release buzz and anticipation, and, once gamers got their hands on the game, nearly universal praise. Well, it looks like now I have to heap on some more.
The original commercial versions of Sword of Fargoal, released for the Commodore VIC-20 and 64 in the early 1980s (review here), came towards the end of the former system's short, but successful commercial lifespan, and early on in the latter system's long and successful commercial lifespan. While generally considered a critical and commercial success (with the caveat that it was also successfully pirated), its release timing in each case caused it to have a bit more mainstream obscurity than it likely would have had otherwise. Nevertheless, the strength of the game - which is essentially a simplified, randomized dungeon crawl, very much in the tradition of Rogue (though with more real-time elements) - allowed it to have enough impact in the minds of gamers to be mentioned often on "best of" lists and receive several unofficial conversions and updates over the years, even making it as one of the games on the popular Commodore 30-in-1 from a few years back. This brings us to the latest release of the game, and the first official new commercial release since the Commodore 64 version. Matt Barton had the pleasure of speaking with original author Jeff McCord not too long ago, and it was McCord and the rest of the Fargoal LLC team who were kind enough to send me a review code for this version for my iPhone 3G.
Upon starting the game, you're greeted with an all too uncommon occurrence in iTouch games--an opening cinematic. Normally, this would be a mere distraction to quickly skip past, but in this case - no doubt due to the skills of Emmy-winning animator, Charlie Canfield - it's a pleasure to behold and a great scene setter for the stylized visuals of the game within. This quality is carried through to the occasional in-game cut scenes. While this is nothing to get the game over all by itself, this is but the first of many examples of the type of TLC that went into this game's creation. Not to be outdone, British composer Daniel Pemberton created a musical score to be reckoned with. Combined with the mix of classic in-game sound effects, aurally the game does not disappoint.
The Sword of Fargoal main menu
The main menu consists of just a few options:
(1) How to Play, which presents a nice and concise summary of what are essentially pick-up-and-play swipe and tap controls:
(2) Choose Quest, which allows you to choose a previously created hero,
or create a new one (male or female), allowing you to roll virtual dice until you get base health and skill stats you're happy with:
(3) Settings, which allows you to adjust the various game options, (4) Fargoal Lore, which tells the epic story behind your quest, and (5), a context sensitive option to either Fast Start a game or to Continue a game if you've come to the main menu from a dungeon.
After choosing your character or continuing a game, you're brought to the current dungeon and are presented with the in-game interface. The interface is fairly transparent, leaving a large amount of screen real estate available, which is maximized by the game's use of the platform's available horizontal orientation. The classic game's "fog" is retained, which obscures the parts of the dungeon you have yet to walk through and may be used by monsters to attack you from. As you can see, the in-game graphical style is whimsical and, though it has obvious nods to modern day aesthetics, still retains the feel of the classic visuals.
Just like the original, there is minimal animation, with your character and the monsters you encounter shown moving about by having their still picture hop to the next tile. While this may seem like a downside, despite this design choice, there's still lots of personality and life to the presentation, and certainly far more than most other Rogue-style games on this, or any other platform. In short, it works for the game and I'd find it surprising if anyone saw it as a negative.
As you would expect from this type of game, you can interact with various objects, like chests, and there are interesting contextual actions to perform, such as "dig", "bury" and "sneak", as well as the obligatory spells and items, such as potions. As such, you'll have no shortage of new things to discover and do as you try to make your way down through the dungeons.
Since things might get confusing otherwise, the auto-map is a welcome feature, and you can zoom in and out on the main screen to help with your bearings.
It's important to remember that real time passes even when you stand still, so you can and will be attacked by monsters if you're not paying attention or don't pause the game. As expected, whether you have to take a call or quickly exit out of the game via the iTouch's home button, it has an auto save, so the next time you play you can pick up right where you left off (thanks again to the Fast Start option).
While at $4.99 it's at the middle range of the iTunes game pricing scale, it has the production values to make it more than worth it, even with the concessions made to stay faithful to the classic source material. If you're a fan of such games, it's an easy 5 out of 5 stars [(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)] .

I never really see the iPhone as a gaming platform. I love obtaining apps for it and seeing what new function it could provide, but I think of other platforms when I think of games.
This aside, I downloaded this game after Bill and Matt mentioned it via armchair's blog & Matt Chat. It is quite addicting. Using a touchscreen to control Pac-Man or Mega Man II becomes tiresome after a few minutes. While Sword of Fargoal doesn't have perfectly responsive controls, it holds my iPhone gaming attention much longer.
I believe I have died three times. The first time was one of those "let's get the hang of us" moments. You know - the first time you play the game. The second time was a "whoops." The third time was a "No way! You idiot (referring to myself)!" I didn't lose much gaming time at all during those deaths, however dying made it clear to me just how much you had to be aware of your surroundings, health, and inventory.
After playing it off and on the past few weeks, I have obtained the sword and attempted to ascend to the top of the dungeon. An assassin stole the sword around level 13 and started his way down. It is here that I stopped (this was two days ago).
It is a wonderfully addicting game. I recommend picking it up.
Bill Loguidice
I agree, Chris, the iPhone
I agree, Chris, the iPhone is an amazing platform, period. It has way too many apps to ignore. Some of its gaming potential is definitely not fulfilled though simply because of the lack of traditional controls. When the touch screen is utilized properly, though, it's as good as any other platform, and that's saying a lot for just a phone...

I like my Blackberry, but man, I wish I had gotten an iPhone. I really feel like I'm missing out! It'll probably be years before I'll be ready to upgrade, though. Hopefully by then they'll have worked out the rest of the kinks.

Christina and I will be upgrading to whatever the latest iPhones are in December 2010. I would assume they'll have a replacement for the S by then. I have the model before that. Christina has a non-smart phone.
There really are no kinks with the current iPhone at this point. They could certainly improve the battery life, but otherwise there's nothing that Apple really has to change. Any remaining issues are with AT&T, the carrier, looking out for their business interests.
Sword of Fargoal is on sale - hurry!
Sword of Fargoal is on sale for $2.99 for a few days on iTunes. If you want it, now's a great time to get it!
I'm also not into gaming
I'm also not into gaming much on my iPhone & iPod touch but a friend of mine is always showing me neat wacky new games on his. The multi touch screen & accelerometer lead to some unique stuff. (and of course it's easier to buy games on this system than any other. Just browse, buy, download with a few taps. You're playing in a minute or two.)

The pricing is a big factor
The pricing is a big factor too, Catatonic. Besides all of the free and trial stuff, a lot of games are only .99. That was the smartest part of the whole thing outside of the infrastructure itself if you ask me.
Yes the price of iPhone games has been trending downwards as developers find that lower prices get you to the top of the best seller lists. Though the cheapest games don't necessarily have the highest revenue in the end.
I bet some developers wish you could set prices at $0.49 or $1.49 but the App Store has no such pricing tiers. (The lowest tier is Free, then $0.99, then $1.99... in the USA and Canada at least. The tier you select determines the actual prices in local currencies)


Tracery in which continuous curvilinear patterns (largely ogees) dominate. A characteristic feature of the Decorated and Flamboyant styles.
Undulating tracery on the little arches, and the corbels and valances in the living room add grace to the space.

Le Massif will put a pin on the global ski map with Club Med Québec Charlevoix
For the summer of 2019, Le Massif and Vélosolutions Canada are carving 20 kilometres of mountain-biking trails and more are planned.
Rochelle Lash, Special to the Montreal Gazette
Updated: July 3, 2019
A sketch of the Club Med village that is scheduled to open on the slopes of Le Massif de Charlevoix in December 2020. Club Med
Hands up … and heads up! Club Med, the international all-inclusive resort group, will open its first vacation getaway in Canada in 2020.
It will be directly on the slopes of Le Massif de Charlevoix, about a four-hour drive northeast of Montreal, or one hour past Quebec City.
The ski-and-snowboard area has the highest vertical drop in eastern Canada and it is prized for exceptional snowfall and its spectacular views of the St Lawrence River. Club Med Québec Charlevoix will operate year-round and, to build all-season appeal, Le Massif is adding summer facilities such as mountain biking.
The new resort, now under construction, is a partnership of two world-class developers: Club Med, which is owned by the Chinese conglomerate Fosun International, and Le Massif, which is owned by Daniel Gauthier, chairman of the board of Groupe Le Massif.
Gauthier previously had tried to put Le Massif on the global ski map with the Winter Olympics, but Games' officials ruled that the trails were not long enough for the men's downhill, in spite of multiple attempts to rebuild one of the slopes.
Fun formula: Club Med operates nearly 60 resorts and one cruise ship in 26 countries, attracting about 1.4 million visitors each year, and employing about 23,000 "gentils organisateurs" (aka G.O.s) who represent an astounding 110 nationalities.
Nearly 40,000 Canadians vacation at Club Med annually, mostly in the Caribbean, Mexico and Florida, but also at more than 20 snow-centric clubs in Europe, China and Japan. A winter club in Colorado has closed, but two more mountain resorts are planned for North America by 2025.
"The biggest difference between a Club Med and a hotel or condo ski vacation is the all-inclusive factor," said Carolyne Doyon, senior vice- president of Club Med Canada and Mexico.
"And Club Meds stand out among all-inclusives, because of the spirit of our G.O.s, but also because of the activities, from sports to wellness, and the broad appeal to solo adventurers, couples and families."
Club Med's price includes almost everything except outside excursions: ski lift tickets, lessons or group skiing, Kids Clubs, on-site summer activities, evening entertainment, dining, an open bar and tips.
Club Med Charlevoix will be a 4T resort (or four tridents out of five, for the deluxe factor), so it will have spa life and superior dining and accommodations (more than 300 rooms, plus a 5T section of suites).
All-season: With Charlevoix' exceptional average snowfall of more than six metres, Club Med will offer skiing, tubing, snowshoeing, sledding and skating.
Le Massif already is highly developed, but will make $6 million in improvements, including high-tech snowmaking and a slide sports learning centre with beginner terrain.
In summer, Club Med will offer mountain biking and guided hiking, as well as outside excursions for whale watching and kayaking on the St. Lawrence. Children will have nature walks, and the Club will have an indoor pool and spa.
"We will be a truly year-round destination, with outstanding sports and leisure," said Frédéric Sujobert, Le Massif's general manager.
All-inclusive: Club Med launched in the 1950s and developed from basic camping to deluxe resorts. It was the first all-inclusive to go global, but it was not the first to exist. All-inclusive inns and resorts operated in the Laurentian mountains, New York State and New England during the early 20th century.
The prestigious Grey Rocks (circa 1905) in Saint-Jovite is credited with North America's first ski and golf/tennis weeks, plus airplane service for hunting and fishing. Chalet Cochand (circa 1915) in Sainte-Marguerite had ski hills and served fondue. La Sapinière (1936) and Far Hills Inn (circa 1940) added gastronomy. Only Hôtel Mont Gabriel (1937) still operates. It offers umpteen year-round activities, but is no longer all-inclusive.
Club Med survived and thrived in part by taking socializing to a new level, with wanton nude picnics, non-stop salsa on the beach and charming, international G.O.s adding mystique and conviviality.
In an interview with the Montreal Gazette published in January 2016, Henri Giscard d'Éstaing, now president of Club Med, said: "We are in tune with the times. The sexual revolution of the 1970s was a major phenomenon and freedom is one of our core values. Today, we are very focused on families — and ensuring they also have unbridled fun."
