	Balearic Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Balearic Islands (Illes Balears Catalan official name, Islas Baleares in Spanish) are an archipelago in the western Mediterranean Sea, near the coast of Spain.
		The Balearic Islands are one of the catalan-speaking teritories designed by the cultural term of Catalan Countries.

		The University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) is primarily a "commuter" university.

		As a destination for a charter vacation, the Balearics have many attractions but also one main drawback: the distances between the three main islands may be too much to tackle by anyone on a short holiday.

	Balearics defends eco-tax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Tiffany Blackman, director of IBATUR, the Balearic institute of tourism, described the tax, due to be imposed on May 1, as a victory of "public interest over private interest".
		Negotiations are under way between the Balearic government and operators over the collection of the tax, which could cost some families more than pounds 70 on a two-week holiday.
		She was also concerned it would "be blamed for all the ills of the Balearics" instead of other factors such as the introduction of the euro, last year's coach drivers' strike and September 11.

		It appears that many of the tornadoes in the Balearics may not be associated with supercells, but the most noteworthy events seem to occur with supercell thunderstorms.
		In spite of the small existing tornado database for the Balearic Islands (8 years), this area is reveals to be a real "tornado alley." The most violent observed tornado has attained F3 intensity, but the most frequent intensity is F1.
		The analysis of the thermodynamic vertical structures of the air masses in which the tornadoes develop in the Balearics shows that most of them occur in cold air relative to the mean climatological temperature.

		Its scope is enormous, and the zips represent the results of many hundreds of hours of patient effort, but like many freeware developers, Toni has had little acknowledgement, beyond the satisfaction of seeing his efforts downloaded several thousand times.
