Usually, I don’t like to toot my own horn; however, I’ve been quietly proud of my Flickr Photo Collection , which as of today, contains 15,252 photos that depict quite a bit of LA’s culinary, cultural and architectural landscape. So you can imagine how excited I was when I got an email from Erin Broadley, LA Weekly’s Web Editor, telling me that I won the 2009 LA Weekly’s Web Award for LA’s Best Flickr Pool . It put a big smile on my face.

I don’t think it is possible to watch the coverage of the earthquake in Haiti and not be touched. The physical, human and emotional devastation can’t be measured – and it is certain that things look and feel much worse on the ground than they do on television. Haiti's airport before the earthquake. ACI-NA is working together with ACI-Latin America/Caribbean to marshal the experience and capabilities of the North American airport community to provide assistance. Currently, the U.S. military is ensuring that the airport can handle flows of supplies that are required for immediate humanitarian needs and the FAA has sent inspectors. ACI-NA has been in close touch with the Departments of State and Transportation, and the FAA, and the Canadian Airports Council has been in touch with the Canadian government. There will be many needs that have to be met in the days, weeks and months ahead, and the airport community in North America is prepared to do its part. We will work closely with our colleagues at ACI-Latin America/Caribbean. As after Katrina, we will also be working with the American Association of Airport Executives to establish a fund to accept contributions to assist with the humanitarian need of airport employees and their families in Haiti. We will get that information to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can visit our website ( www.aci-na.org ) which contains a “Help for Haiti” link if you would like to make a contribution to one of the many organizations providing assistance there. It is hard to imagine what the people of Haiti are going through right now. It is at least re-assuring to know that the North American airport community is ready and willing to do its part

Help Haiti Now is a post from: Jamaica Vacations There have been many conversations had about the many similarities and the many differences between Haiti and Jamaica and I myself have used it as an example of why Jamaicans should care for their all important tourist industry by supporting local business and making sure more of the tourist money stays in Jamaica. On occasion I have found myself stating that Jamaica is not so far from being just like Haiti a few more bad tourist seasons will certainly hold the country in poverty

It’s been a year since pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger made his miraculous landing of US Airways flight 1549 on the Hudson River. And though no one likes to consider the possibility of being in an airline crash, these tips, from the January/February issue of Traveler, offer several ways to help you stay safe in an emergency. Though the likelihood of being in an airplane accident is infinitesimally small; for the average American it’s roughly the same as hitting the jackpot in a state lottery or having a set of identical quadruplets.
