Hobart International Airport (IATA: HBA, ICAO: YMHB) is an airport located in Cambridge, 8.5 nautical miles (15.7 km; 9.8 mi) northeast[1] of Hobart, Tasmania.[4] The Federal government owned airport is being operated on a 99-year lease to the Tasmanian Gateway Consortium.[5][6] The airport has seen strong passenger growth in the last few years,[7] primarily due to the increase in services from low-cost carriers.[8] In the financial year of 2008–09, the airport handled 1,869,262 passengers and 14,285 air movements, making it the ninth busiest in relation to passenger numbers[4] and ranks as the second fastest growing airport in Australia.[4]
The airport maintains a conjoined international and domestic terminal. The major domestic airlines that serve the airport are Qantas, Jetstar Airways, Virgin Australia and Tiger Airways Australia, which are all running flights on the main route to Melbourne Airport. At present, all the airlines operating at the airport utilise narrow-body aircraft. The airport plays a strategic role due to its location – Skytraders conducts regular flights to Antarctica on behalf of the Australian Antarctic Division using an Airbus A319.[6][9] Although the airport has not had a regular scheduled international passenger service since 1998 (to Christchurch, New Zealand),[8][10] the airport maintains customs and immigration facilities for aircraft entering the country.[6]
Hobart International Airport was established in 1956, after a review found the nearby Cambridge Aerodrome was unsuitable for Hobart's future air transport needs.[11][not in citation given] Occupying approximately 565 ha (1,400 acres) of land,[6] the airport is sited on a narrow peninsula; take-offs and landings are inevitably directed over bodies of water regardless of approach or departure direction. The region—especially that immediately surrounding the airport—remains largely unpopulated, which enables the airport to operate curfew-free services.[6]
Prior to the existence of the airport, the region was served by Cambridge Airport,[6] a small airport located close to the existing site. As air travel became more frequent and the number of flights increased, it was clear that Cambridge airport was only suitable for light aircraft.[8] In June 1948, Prime Minister Ben Chifley announced the approval for construction of a new AU£760,000 airport at Llanherne.[12] With Australia's continual interest in Antarctica, it was believed the southern-most airport of Australia would serve as an ideal base for heavy aircraft serving the region.[12] Hobart Airport was commissioned in 1956 as the primary regular public transport airport.[13] It was initially named Llanherne Airport,[8] after the property on which it was built, but the name has since fallen into disuse. In its first full year of operation, the airport processed 120,086 passengers and 11,724 tonnes of freight, ranking fifth in Australia.[14] By 1957, the airport's infrastructure comprised a small terminal building which remains at the southeastern end of the current terminal, two freight hangars, fuel depot, timber weather station, and the airport administration office and works compound.[13] In 1964, the Federal Government upgraded and lengthened the runway to cater for jet aircraft. The runway was extended again in 1985[13] to cater for large aircraft such as the Boeing 747 and Antonov 124 (albeit to a limited operating range).[13] The current domestic terminal building was officially opened in April 1976 and the international terminal building opened in 1986.[13] The Federal Government corporatised the airport in January 1988 with the creation of the Federal Airports Corporation.[15]
On 11 June 1998, the airport was privatised on a 99-year lease, being purchased by Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd, a Tasmanian Government-owned company operated by the Hobart Ports Corporation.[10][13][16] In 2004, the domestic terminal was redeveloped for the first time in its 30-year history. This development involved modernising the terminal, moving the retail shops to within the security screening area,[17] realignment of the car park and moving the car rental facilities to new building in the car park. During 2005, Hobart Airport experienced record annual passenger numbers[14] and it was then decided to bring forward plans to upgrade the seating capacity of the airport. This work involved expanding the domestic terminal building over the tarmac by three metres to provide more departure lounge space.
During December 2007, the Tasmanian Government sold the Tasmanian Ports Corporation-owned subsidiary for A$350 million to the Tasmanian Gateway Consortium, a private consortium made up of Macquarie Capital (one of Macquarie Group's infrastructure funds) and Tasmania's public sector superannuation fund, the Retirement Benefits Fund.[6] The sale was in line with other state capital airport sell-offs, and was the last capital airport remaining in government control.
Hobart Airport has two passenger terminals. During 2007 the two terminals were connected in a 15 million dollar[18] development to meet new federal security laws that requires all checked luggage to be X-rayed.[19] In 2008, the airport received a commendation for public architecture at the Tasmanian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects, for the new terminal upgrade.[20] The airport currently maintains a combined international, domestic and general aviation apron. Provisions have been made to create a dedicated general aviation apron to the south of the one currently in use.[6]
Throughout 2013, no public drinking water fountains have been operational at the airport terminal.[citation needed]
Domestic terminal[edit]
The current domestic terminal was opened in 1976, and has been expanded several times since then.[6] All airlines share the same check in and departure area in the centre of the building. The south-eastern end of the building contains a Qantas Club and serves as the Qantas and Jetstar Airways arrivals area while the north-western international end of the building is used by Virgin Australia and Tiger Airways Australia.[6] The domestic apron has four parking bays for narrow-body (Boeing 737/Airbus A320-sized) aircraft, overlaid by two positions for small wide-body (Boeing 767-sized) aircraft.[6]
International terminal[edit]
The international terminal was opened in 1983 to facilitate Trans-Tasman air traffic.[6][13] During 1985 the terminal was upgraded along with the runway to provide limited 747 operations.[6][13] There have been no regular international flights served by the airport since 1998,[10] when Air New Zealand suspended operations to Christchurch, however the operators of the airport have expressed an interest in resuming international flights in the future.[6] At present the Terminal is used by Virgin Australia and Tiger Airways for domestic arrivals, Skytraders for flights to Antarctica and occasional charter airline flights, there being two such flights, by First Choice Airways, in 2009.[6] The terminal's apron has a single wide-body parking bay overlapping two narrow-body bays. This bay is able to accommodate large wide-body aircraft up to and including Boeing 747-400 and 777–200.[6] The international Terminal's baggage carousel and apron are used for domestic operations and for Skytraders' operations.[6]
There are two domestic freight areas operating at the airport, catering for Australian air Express, Toll Air and Virgin Australia.[6] The Australian air Express facility is located south of the Domestic terminal. The facility includes two buildings on a total area of approximately 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft), including the freight apron area. Australian air Express uses dedicated jet freight aircraft.[6] In January 2007, Virgin Blue (now Virgin Australia) and Toll Air opened a 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) dedicated freight facility to the north of the international terminal. This new freight area has no dedicated apron of its own, but rather makes use of the cargo holds of the passenger aircraft already serving the airport. The operators of the airport have expressed interest in having all the freight handled from this new northern area, however, due to uncertainty with the Tasmanian freight market, it is unknown when this may occur.[6]
General aviation[edit]
The majority of Hobart's general aviation traffic makes use of the nearby Cambridge Aerodrome, which was sold in 1999 on the condition that it remain an airport until 2004.[6] Since that date, Hobart Airport has made plans for a large expansion catering for general aviation should the owners of Cambridge Aerodrome decide to use the land for other purposes.[6] This expansion would include a new runway and a general aviation apron located south of the existing Domestic Terminal.[6]
Hobart Airport has one runway, 12/30, which is aligned north–west to south–east, is 2,251 by 45 m (7,385 by 148 ft).[6] The high strength flexible runway was constructed with an asphaltic concrete surface[13] and is adequate for unrestricted operations up to and including Boeing 767 and Airbus A300 aircraft. Boeing 777/747 aircraft can operate with a weight restriction.[13] The current runway length is adequate for direct flights to New Zealand, Cairns, Perth, Singapore and Jakarta.[13] For longer range operations, a weight limit is imposed for aircraft landing and on take off. The runway conforms to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority's standards.
Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd has announced detailed plans for the airport within its new master plan until 2029.[6][21] Currently aircraft landing on the runway have to taxi along the runway and proceed to the parking apron via taxiways in the middle of the runway.[6] This has both capacity and safety implications for the airport, as the runway cannot be used whilst an aircraft is taxiing on the runway.[6] In the coming years, the airport plans on providing a parallel taxiway to the full length of runway.[6] When complete, aircraft landing on the Runway can proceed to the end of the runway and exit via the parallel taxiway. This would allow for greater utilization of the existing runway.[6]
The landing length required at Hobart for a Boeing 747 at maximum operational landing weight is 2,400 m (7,900 ft), a minimum runway extension of 150 m (490 ft) would be beneficial to the operation of the airport.[13] With either end of the runway surrounded by roads, the possibility for extending the runway is limited; however, a geometric exercise was undertaken to determine the possible runway extension in the future.[6] This exercise indicated the potential to extend the runway to 2,530 by 90 m (8,300 by 300 ft) to the north and 190 m (620 ft) to the south – an extension of approximately 280 m (920 ft) metres. However, unless future air traffic demands it, there are no immediate plans to extend the runway.[6]
The airport has purchased land from the Tasmanian Government in the southern part of the airport for future development of further operational facilities.[10][13] This additional area would allow for a short runway for general aviation aircraft. The purchase would allow a runway either parallel to the main runway along the southern end of the eastern boundary of the airport, or a cross runway[10] towards the southern end of the main runway. The alternative second runway would provide an opportunity to improve the operational management of the lighter categories of aircraft. However, these capabilities will most likely be developed in the relatively distant future.[13] The second runway is not likely to be developed any time soon, because the existing runway is under-utilised.[13]
Other facilities[edit]
In December 2005, prominent Hobart developer Ali Sultan proposed a four star, 60-room hotel/motel for the airport.[22] The hotel, named the Quality Hotel Hobart Airport, was opened on 1 December 2008. The hotel comprises 78 rooms, a restaurant/café and a number of conference and meeting spaces.[23] The hotel employs 25 people.
Big box development[edit]
Early in 2006, the airport announced plans to build a Direct Factory Outlet just east of Holyman Avenue. The complex was originally planned to cover an area of 18,000 m2 (190,000 sq ft),[17][24][25] which would have made it the largest of its kind in Australia. Austexx, a Melbourne-based company, will be leasing the site and is the main investor in the $100 million project.[26]
The development would also provide car parking for over 2,000 cars and road works will most likely be conducted on Holyman Avenue to ensure that traffic flow into the airport itself is not affected. While the Tasmanian Government has thrown its support into the project and believes the Direct Factory Outlet will drive retail trade growth, the Hobart City Council and a large amount of retail shop owners in the Hobart Central Business District have expressed fear of losing business.[26] Concern was also expressed about the big box being built on commonwealth land and therefore escaping the state planning laws.[26]
During April 2007, the Hobart Airport's public relations firm confirmed they had submitted plans of the project ('including rejections') to the Federal Government for assessment. When Federal Transport Minister Warren Truss assessed the project,[26] he gave approval on condition the outlet centre was cut by almost half to 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft),[24][27] prompting Austexx to walk away from the proposal.[24] However, in February 2008, Austexx' chief executive Geoff Porz confirmed the Direct Factory Outlet and Homemaker Hub was back on,[28] going as far as to say that Hobart was "grossly under-supplied with shopping facilities".

Ground transport[edit]
Hobart Airport has a car park that caters for short, medium or long term parking. There is also a well-serviced taxi rank and limousine service operating at the airport. There are numerous car rental operators at the airport, these include Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Thrifty, Redspot, Bargain Car Rentals, Rent For Less, Britz Maui, Tasmanian Camper Van Rentals and Cruisin Tasmania.[34]
Public transport has not been a high use alternative to private transport for those travelling to and from the airport.[6]
There is a bus service that operates between the Hobart Central Business District and the airport for every departure. The shuttle departs outside the terminal after the arrival of every flight transferring passengers to the city. The primary operator for the bus services is Tasmanian Redline Coaches.[6]

Reload the page and try again.
Transportation: No transportation at all. Campus is easy to get around. Public transportation is not an option
Majors: Easy school to get into. Application process is very easy and admissions are very nice and will do their best to get you in to school
Off-Campus Dining: The main place is Applebee's - after that it's pretty much fast food and smaller, locally-owned restaurants.
Weather: Well, it's Kansas. One day it's 50 and the next day it can snow. Wind is almost always present. But, like I said, it's Kansas. That's all I have to say there.
Parking: Bethel is a small school so parking isn't an issue. Maybe you'll have a short walk (and I mean short) to your dorm but it's not a problem. There are two different spots that are best for commuters to park that puts them closer to their classes.
Diversity: There is a lot of racial diversity on campus. Generally the campus is very accepting of religious or sexual beliefs. Politics is mostly one to avoid, I'd say.
Nightlife: Sometimes there are parties on the weekends but primarily, get-togethers are the way to go. There aren't really any bars in Newton and so the only nightlife is the one you create for yourself. I will say, though, that there are as many people who party as those who do not.
Athletics: Bethel is not good at sports. We have good facilities though. The school spirit is very low. This is definitely a school you should come to primarily if academics interest you, because it seems like those that come solely for athletics end up leaving.
Guys & Girls: It seems pretty normal or average to me. There's not much to say. I guess I'd note that guys are generally polite enough to hold open doors and let ladies go first, most of the time.
Computers: We have both a Windows and a Mac lab (well, I think Dells running apple software). In the Windows lab there is free printing if you bring your own paper! (The other option is printing in the library for 5 cents a page).
Campus Dining: "The Caf" is excellent!!!! They are very accommodating as far as allergy, gluten, organic, or vegetarian needs, and the food service director, Nolan, is always ready to listen to new ideas or any concerns. There are 4 options every day, a salad bar, a dessert bar, a pastry bar, a deli bar, and milk, juices, tea, and sodas available. And newly added, ice cream!
Facilities: One of my favorite things about Bethel (having grown up sort of out in the country and in a "smaller" town), is the general quietness and green space! We also have a walking/running/biking trail that runs through part of our campus, and I think that's really cool. We have great musical programs and amazing artists. The cafeteria has got to be one of the best in the nation as far as options and quality of food!!! We have a coffee bar in the student center, so that's always a bonus. It doesn't only serve coffee, though - paninis, smoothies, teas, cookies, quiche, and giant cinnamon rolls! Another cool thing about Bethel is that our administration building was once the original Bethel College. The building is still standing (though updated internally with electricity, plumbing, etc) from its original construction in 1887. It once housed all of the offices, classes, dorming, etc. How cool!!!
Academics: One of the main reasons I chose Bethel was because of the academics - particularly nursing. Many of the programs are top-notch here. Class sizes are generally 10-20, so they can advertise a smaller class size but that's not always what you'll have. However, the professors are amazing in every way, and always willing to help. They're very dedicated.
Campus Housing: Your freshman year you are required to live in Haury, the all-freshman, co-ed dorm (split floors by gender). It's the closest to classes, the cheapest, but has it's downsides. It can be loud, depending on your neighbors. It's the oldest. It has community bathrooms and showers (not near as bad as they sound). The newer-style rooms have better heating, but are much smaller. The older style rooms have worse heating, but are more spacious. The other two on-campus options are Warkentin Court ("The Mods") - apartment style living (5 rooms, 9 people, a living room with cable, two showers, two baths). The Mods can be pretty loud and are sometimes the "happening place" on campus on weekends; and Voth - I think of it as a hotel suite-style. Two people in one room, who share a bathroom with two people next door (two sinks, lots of storage space, a shower, and a private toilet room [with a door]). Voth is more quiet. All residence halls have community laundry rooms and kitchens. Suites and Mods are also separated by gender, although the floors are co-ed.
Scholarships: The financial aid adviser is very patient with questions and is extremely knowledgeable about aid. Being a private school, he is also very honest with you and very helpful as far as suggesting ways to find extra financial aid in the form of scholarships, etc. However, whatever scholarships you are awarded your first year as far as academics or extra-curricular, are those you will maintain for the remainder of your attendance. The pro: you can't go down. The con: you can't move up.
Off-Campus Dining: The restaurants that are around Bethel are the same as you would find in any other city. They are the same fast food restaurants that you can go to just about anywhere. The cost isn't terrible. Since the restaurants are fast food, they have dollar menus and other cheap items. The only way that anything is convenient in this town is if you have a car. There are no student discounts at any of the restaurants.
Local Atmosphere: The closest place a college student can go is to Wichita. That is a, at least, 30 minute drive. In town, there is a movie theater, but it always seems packed because that is one of the main attractions to do. Another big BC thing to do is go to half price apps at Applebees. If a college student is bored, they might find themselves wandering around Walmart for several hours spending money on things they probably don't need.
Health & Safety: The safety on campus is relatively high. The crime rate of the school is nonexistent. We do not have any problems at our school with the fear of others' safety. I believe that Student Life is doing everything in their power to try to keep our campus safe and make sure the students' safety is secure. I feel relatively safe on campus. I feel safer when other people are walking with me and when I don't have to walk around campus at night but other than that I have no complaints.
Majors: This institution is full of majors that you can major in . This is one of the best in the country . The professors are great an you learn alot from them
Campus Dining: The food is pretty good most of the food is on the main street thier alot of food and all the campus food is available .
Campus Strictness: They not to strick . The police is pretty small not to much so thier not really on anything aslong as you respect them
Computers: The labs have plenty of computers that are,available you can,use,them at any time . The computers are very fast . You pay for printing its pretty good . The wireless access is pretty weak . Overall its plenty of computers
Transportation: There's no buses really available . Its not the main city a mile down is where the buses start to run
Parking: I have had a car at school since my freshman year. You are required to register your vehicle with the school but there are no permit costs. Availability of parking spaces has never been a problem.
Guys & Girls: There is quite a bit of diversity among guys and girls on campus. I myself have friends on both sides of the spectrum, in both sexes. Girls that are gorgeous, athletic, and smart, and then there are those who are extremely geeky, same with the guys. But all in all it's a fun crowd and I find the people around here are for the most part very caring and interesting.

University begins plans for construction of new "arts gym"
As the arts scene at Stanford receives increasing resources and attention, the University has started planning the construction of a new "arts gym"—a drop-in studio and performing arts space at Roble Gym.
An enormous amount of interest is driving the University to keep up with student demand for arts spaces, according to Matthew Tiews M.A. '99 Ph.D. '04, executive director of arts program.

Operation Summary for July 9, 2010 - July 12, 2010 |
The Integrated Luminosity for the period from 7/5/10 to 7/12/10 was 51.16 pb-1. Friday July 9 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TeV) store 7960 (92.86E30) and the Recycler stash (220.1E10), with the Antiproton Source (Pbar) down and not stacking (1.9E10) due to a bend bus power supply problem, with the Linac, Booster and the Main Injector (MI) operating normally, with the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and Meson FTBF T-977 experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) using the colliding beams. During the day shift, power supply technicians had the Pbar Debuncher bend bus power supply repaired and back online by 11:00 AM; stacking resumed. Operations terminated store 7960 at 1:15 PM. TeV personnel began conducting studies that lasted the rest of the shift. During the evening shift, Operations established HEP store 7964 at 6 PM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 297E30. A MI Lambertson power supply (LAM10) tripped off due to a transformer over-temperature indication. EE Support personnel came in and found that two of the four fans in the supply had failed. Saturday July 10 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 7964 (120.24E30) and the stash (99.5E10), with Pbar stacking (20.9E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations established beam to T-977 at 4:15 AM. Operators accessed MI-31 to investigate four corrector magnet power supplies that had tripped off. They checked the fuses on the power supply chassis that control the correctors; reseating the fuses corrected the chassis issue. During the day shift, Operations terminated store 7964 at 1:15 PM and put the TeV into shot setup and established store 7965 at 3:15 PM with and AIL of 326E30. At 7:45 PM, store 7965 aborted when the ramp dumped without quenching. Operators investigated the cause. During the evening shift, a TeV person came in and conferred with EE Support about the abort. They determined that the TeV sector C2 safety Coordinator was the cause of the abort. An EE Support technician came in and replaced the Safety Coordinator. Operations had the TeV up and ramping by 11:50 PM. Sunday July 11 The midnight shift began with Operations ramping the TeV, with Operations monitoring the stash, with Pbar stacking, and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations put the TeV into shot setup at 2:20 AM and established store 7969 at 3:20 AM with an AIL of 259E30. A number of Electron Cooling (ECool) corrector magnet power supplies (R:CYC30I, R:CXC30I, R:CYC39I, and R:CXC39I) tripped off just as they did on the previous midnight shift. Operators called in an EE Support technician to investigate and the tech changed out the faulty chassis. T-977 started taking beam at 4:49 AM. During the day shift, the 400 MeV area tripped off a number of times due to tune problems; operators informed Booster personnel. During the evening shift, Operations terminated store 7969 at 6:20 PM. Operations terminated the store early due to a necessary Pelletron access. Operations put the TeV into shot setup and established store 7970 at 7:45 PM with an AIL of 170E30. Booster personnel investigated several issues with the 400 MeV chopper system; they made repairs and Operations had beam re-established by 6 PM. Operators reported that the Pelletron developed voltage regulation problems; ECool personnel investigated and traced the problem back to a triode inside the tank. Operations called in Mechanical Support personnel to prepare the tank for access. Monday July 12 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 7970 and the stash, with Pbar stacking, and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, the NuMI horn power supply tripped off at 3:40 AM, which was 20 minutes prior to the scheduled shutdown. NuMI personnel reported a large LCW leak coming from the horn power supply. Operators isolated the leak. Operations established beam to T-977 at 4:30 AM. Operations terminated store 7970 at 6:05 AM, put the TeV into shot setup, and established store 7971 at 7:25 AM with an AIL of 131E30. The Plans for Monday The plans for today are to stack, stash, and store. The Run Coordinator will allow the following work: Preaccelerator personnel will switch from the I- Source to the H- Source. Recycler personnel will conduct studies and work on the Pelletron. MI personnel will conduct studies. On Tuesday at 6 AM, MTA will take 10 pulses of beam and then go into a six-hour access that will halt Linac beam. |

Understanding Financial Aid
How to Apply for Financial Aid
Filing for financial aid can be confusing at times. If you have any questions, stop by the Office of Student Finance on the first floor of Franciscan Hall or contact us at:
716-649-7900 or email@example.com
Apply for Admission to the College
Do this as early as possible. Hilbert can make a financial award only after you are admitted to the college. Hilbert is on rolling admissions, so you may apply anytime. It is important to apply sooner rather than later to allow time to prepare, complete financial aid paperwork and register.
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
To apply for need-based aid, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. List Hilbert College, federal code 002735, on the form. You must file the FAFSA to be eligible for federal and state grants and loans, Hilbert scholarships, or work-study employment. To file online, you will first need to obtain a personal identification number (PIN). You can get one at www.pin.ed.gov.
For more tips on filling out your FAFSA, see one of our financial aid counselors or visit www.fafsa.ed.gov. You may also visit FAFSA4caster to receive an early estimate of eligibility for federal student aid.
What Information Will I Need?
Gather the following information before you fill out your FAFSA:
- Your driver's license and Social Security card.
- Your federal income tax returns and those of your parents (for dependent students). Also, W-2 forms from the most recently completed tax year.
- Records of untaxed income, such as Social Security or AFDC benefits.
- Current bank statements.
- Records of stocks, bonds, and other investments.
- Business records.
- Your alien registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen.
If your tax forms are not complete, you can estimate your tax information and then forward a copy of both your taxes and your parents' (for dependent students) to the Office of Student Finance once they are completed.
Submit Your FAFSA Before March 1 ( this is the ideal time, however, it is not a strict cutoff date)
We recommend you file a FAFSA between Jan. 1 and March 1 each year to ensure the best possible financial aid package. Aid applications should be filed before you begin your first year and every year you attend Hilbert.
Financial Aid Award Letter
Around March 15, we will begin sending out financial aid award letters. They will be sent in order of when the processed FAFSA applications were received. This letter will describe your financial aid package, including information on how much the government determines what you should be able to pay. This is called your EFC (estimated family contribution). The award letter will likely include loans, grants, and maybe even scholarships. After you review and understand the letter, sign the award letter and mail it back or drop it off at the Office of Student Finance.
New for 2010-2011 - Beginning with the 2010-2011 Academic Year, Hilbert College will participate in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. All federal student and parent loans will be disbursed by the U.S. Government. We will no longer use private lenders(such as banks, credit unions, etc.) for Stafford or PLUS loans. There is a Federal Direct Loan website that offers additional information about the program and how to apply for loans.

The Dash 8 currently in operation from Airlines PNG with Solomon Airlines will be leaving for PNG to undergo a normal scheduled maintenance check from Thursday 23rd to Monday 27th of August, 2012. This will have the aircraft away for almost 5 days. Such maintenance checks are mandatory requirements and are part and parcel of operating a safe and reliable airline, we apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, however it is a safety requirement and this is something we will not compromise.
Normally, there will be disruptions for those days but interim schedules have been adjusted with our Twin Otter and Islander fleet to cater for no Dash 8 during its period of absence.
The Dash 8 will be ferried from Honiara to Port Moresby on Thursday 23rd, after its first Western run and will be returning on Monday morning to pick up our schedule for that day.
Solomon Airlines apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and we appreciate the continued patience of all our good travellers.
Those wishing to change their itinerary or reconfirm bookings may do so by calling the Solomon Airlines Reservations office on 177 (Toll Free) or 20031.

15U National Champs
Perfect Game Staff

Ray DeLeon likes to challenge his guys in the Houston Banditos youth baseball program by having them compete against older players. That's why the Banditos Black 15-&-under team played in only one tournament against other 15U clubs this year, but it was a dandy.
The Banditos compiled a perfect 9-0 record in the WWBA National Championships in late July and won the tournament with a big comeback in the finals. Now the Banditos have been named the top 15-&-under team in the nation by Perfect Game USA.
"We had a great season," said DeLeon, who runs the Banditos program and helped coach the 15-&-under team. "What we're trying to do is get these kids to play good competition and get them seen."
With that philosophy, the Banditos faced a steady diet of 16U, 17U and 18U teams this season. Most of his 15U players were members of high school varsity teams this past season as freshmen, so DeLeon figured they could handle playing against older kids on a summer all-star team. He was right.
"We've established ourselves as one of the best organizations in the country," he declared.
Cory Geisler, Courtney Hawkins and C.J. Hinojosa were selected to play for the 16-&-under USA National Team last month in Taiwan, a testament to the talent on this year's squad. Giesler was named the Most Valuable left-handed pitcher on the National Team and was the Texas District 13-5A Co-Newcomer of the Year this past season. Hawkins was honored as the Most Valuable Pitcher at the 15U WWBA tournament and Hinojosa was selected for the 14-&-under USA National team as well as the 16U USA National team.
The Banditos enjoyed their week in Georgia for the WWBA 15U National Championships, but they trailed the Washington RIP Brewers, 8-0, in the championship game and faced an uphill climb. Ray DeLeon had other business and was not at the park for the finals, but his brother, Robert, ran the club and gave the Banditos a motivational speech after they fell behind.
"He told me he said, 'We came this far, and nobody is going to remember who finishes in second place,'" Ray DeLeon related. "I guess that was motivation enough."
The DeLeon brothers began the Houston Banditos program in the 1990's. They focused on younger players in the 8U through 14U brackets for many years, then added 15U through 18U clubs three years ago. They had 31 teams in the program this year, including 10 at the high school ages.
Ray DeLeon, 40, played college baseball at Texas-Pan American and played pro baseball for 13 years, including seven years in Mexico. Robert DeLeon, 36, played for the University of Texas and was a member of the club that reached the 1992 College World Series. Robert played for one year in the minor leagues for the San Diego Padres.
Ray said they started the Houston Banditos program after a young 9-year-old boy named David Macias failed to make a tryout team.
"At 9 years old they cut him, and I was real upset by that," DeLeon said. "They said he was too small to play."
DeLeon disagreed with that assessment and decided to start his own program. "We literally built a team around him," he said. "Basically, that's how I started."
Macias developed into a top high school player in Texas, played at Vanderbilt and was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. He's playing for the Cubs in the minor leagues now, making DeLeon extremely proud.
"David Macias was a great role model," he said. "Nobody wanted him and now he's playing for the Cubs."
The Banditos attract most of their players from Houston and the surrounding area, a talent-laden part of the country. One of their teams, which played 14U ball this summer, won 155 games in a row the past three years, a national record.
The teams in the Banditos organization have played in 34 states since the program began. Their teams have won 93 state titles and 39 national championships, and they had three draft picks this year.
"It feels great to have good kids around you. And good kids attract better kids," said DeLeon. "That's one thing we stress, to be humble. Our kids develop into some of the best players in Houston."

Distribution of Varroa destructor between swarms and colonies
publication date:
Dec 31, 2005
Journal of Apicultural Research
Vol. 44 (4) pp. 190 - 194
December 2005
Article Title
Distribution of
Varroa destructor
between swarms and colonies
Jerzy Wilde, Stefan Fuchs, Janusz Bratkowski and Maciej Siuda
Bee colonies reproduce by colony division during swarming. In colonies infested by the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, colony division will at the same time split the mite population between the swarms and the remaining parent colonies. The present investigation compares infestation of swarms with that of parent colonies. We found that an average of 25 ± 9% of mites left the colonies with natural swarms, while 75 ± 9% remained in parent colonies of which 39 ± 11% were on bees and 36 ± 10% were within sealed brood cells. The relative swarm infestation did not differ from that of the remaining parent colony in this study, but very low proportions of mites within sealed worker brood and a clear negative correlation to the proportion of mites in sealed brood strongly suggest that swarm infestation is asymmetric and lower than that of the remaining colonies.

Beware of colon cleansing claims
| Jun 30, 2008
To read the Internet ads, you'd think that our bodies were awash in "toxins" -- usually unspecified -- and that we should therefore go to dramatic lengths, such as "colon cleansing" and chelation, to get rid of all this bad stuff.
Don't believe it. Or to...

William Howard is an exceptional employee! Very customer oriented. Our carabiner is awesome!! A great addition to our goodie bag for our Travel Summit. The mountain climbers appreciated it, but it was also well received by other participants, with some using it as their key chains. I liked the color and quality but the logo is too small to read.

At Face It Permanent Make Up Center, a team of skilled micropigmentation specialists, each certified by the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, enhances faces with permanent makeup. Led by owner Edine Swain, who finds personal fulfillment in working with clients dealing with birth defects and scars from accidents or surgeries, the professionals take the time to talk with each client and understand his or her vision for elegant eyeliner or lips the color of a newborn fire engine.
While darkening brows or adding a starlet beauty mark, the artistic technicians employ micropigment colors—which, unlike traditional tattoo ink, don't acquire a bluish tint over time. They calibrate the pigment with the utmost care, blending hues to match a client's skin and hair or applying multiple shades of color to brows for a natural look. The professionals also specialize in correcting work performed at salons and in scar re-pigmentation, shading in the pale tissue left by surgical procedures or jobs as the Three Stooges' carpentry teacher.
In his role as the chief surgeon at Aesthetica Plastic & Laser Surgery Center, Dr. Gregory Caputy draws on knowledge gleaned from his presidency of the Hawaii Aesthetic and Wellness International Institute to strike an ideal balance between artistry and anatomy. Along with his skilled team of aestheticians and medical professionals, Dr. Caputy aims to satisfy beauty desires with cosmetic and surgical treatments for the face, body, and skin—many of which account for the specific needs of island natives and Asians. Among the services offered are Sculptra Aesthetic injections, which helps replace lost collagen and corrects shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds.
The center's aestheticians exemplify the individual care that Dr. Caputy has sworn by since he began his practice, rejuvenating complexions with custom treatments and staying beside their clients for the duration of each visit. If you manage to sneak away from their sight, take a moment to relax on the waiting room's tan leather couches, bathe in the sunlight that spills in from oversize windows, or admire Dr. Caputy's collection of diamond-encrusted stethoscopes.
Artists at Pacific Soul Tattoo draw from 30 years of collective experience to ink custom art onto skin. Specialists in Asian- and Polynesian-styled tattoos, the needle-drawers regularly pay homage to clients' heritage with buzzed-about traditional tribal designs or vivid sketches of Grandma's pot roast. During a 30-minute consultation, clients chat with artists to describe their ideal body art, from black-and-white patterns to full-color portraits. Artists sketch original designs before transforming blank skin into a vibrant canvas. As some designs may take more than one hour, Groupon holders should confer with artists to determine the total duration and potential additional cost of large tattoos, complex designs, or decorating their every freckle with a visor. In addition to rigorously upholding sanitary standards such as sterilizing all equipment and discarding all disposable items after a single use, the shop's tattoo artists are certified in blood-borne pathogens and can identify a germ from 10 paces.
After sidelining her career as a painter more than 20 years ago, Lisa Nose decided to apply her creative energy and deft hands to the art of cutting and coiffing tresses, a successful venture that lead to starting her own salon, Touch Of Beauty. Her inner artist's passion of blending colors and instinct for creating complementary lines shines through hair-coloring treatments, and helping clients find the perfect style for their face shape or time-travel destination. Lisa relies on Paul Mitchell and Joico products for hair care, and utilizes Valmont products for facials. Her brush continues to grace canvases when not at the salon, a helpful tool that allows Lisa to turn eyelids and lips into her canvas as she applies permanent cosmetics, freeing clients from a life of refusing to smile in case lipstick or the forearm of unassuming strange has gotten stuck on their teeth.
Dr. Michael A. McMann's colleagues trust his skills—so much so that they turn up in his surgical suite, ready for him to perform LASIK on their own eyes. It's likely because Dr. McMann's surgical logbook lists more than 5,000 procedures and counting, with much of that patient pool consisting of other physicians, their spouses, and members of the military. It also might have something to do with his guarantee of 20/20 vision or your money or prized goat back.
Before assuming his role as founder and medical director of McMann Eye Institute, Dr. McMann obtained his degree from the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine and served for eight years in the US Army Medical Corps as a physician and eye doctor.
Dr. Matthew Tuttle oversees A New Life Health and Wellness's roster of holistic-wellness-inspiring therapies, including body wraps, detox supplements, and weight-loss treatments. During a laser fat-loss session, a certified tech smoothes away cellulite with an FDA-approved, noninvasive cold lipo-laser. A preliminary conversation determines optimal target areas while addressing client concerns, questions, and confusion regarding the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The low-level bundle of concentrated light delves into deep skin levels to loosen freeloading lipids from stowaway spots, to be expunged through the body's built-in bouncer network. The whole-body vibration platform shakes free remaining flab by stimulating circulation. Following the session, a follow-up consultation unveils personalized diet and exercise tips that maximize long-term treatment results.
