Summary: Robert W. Kaps examines air transport labor law in the United States as well as the underlying legislative and policy directives established by the federal government.The body of legislation governing labor relations in the private sector of the U.S. economy consists of two separate and distinct acts: the Railway Labor Act (RLA), which governs labor relations in the railroad and airline industries, and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which governs labor relations in all othe ...show morer industrial sectors.Although the NLRA closely follows the pattern established by the RLA, Kaps notes that the two laws are distinguishable in several important areas. Labor contracts negotiated under the RLA continue in perpetuity, for example, whereas all other labor contracts expire at a specified date. Other important areas of difference relate to the collective bargaining process itself, the procedures for the arbitration of disputes and grievances, and the spheres of authority and jurisdiction to consider such matters as unfair labor practices. ...show less

Field Report: Nautel NV40
Another important requirement was compatibility with the legacy IBOC transmitter equipment. We wanted to retain the current transmitter as an auxiliary and be able to utilize the same common STL. Nautel demonstrated on site that their Exporter and Reliable HD Transport system was indeed compatible with both their exciter and our legacy equipment. Check that box.
The NV40 had met all of WYSO's basic requirements, but the evaluation wasn't complete. This transmitter acquisition was likely going to have to last the station for many years, so product support is critical. Tech support is available 24/7/365 on the phone, and on-site service available if required.
So after extensive evaluations, I selected the Nautel NV-40 for this client's application and the order was placed. Delivery this past fall was made on schedule, and the crew placed the cabinet exactly where we wanted it. I had anticipated a few issues with purchasing or delivery from Canada, but there were none. Installation was straightforward with no surprises. They even supplied a special conduit transition box to accommodate the large ac feed cables. The only complaint I had was limited access to the connections on the rear of the exciter(s). An interface panel for external connections would be a better solution.

The start-up and commissioning were uneventful, except for the inordinate amount of fun we had playing with - I mean working with the AUI. Gary Liebisch from Nautel stopped in to assist with the Reliable HD Transport setup and ensure all was well. The Advanced User Interface (AUI) is awesome. Instrument-grade RF and audio spectrum analyzers are built-in. So even though we used test equipment to initially verify proper operation, it is reassuring to know the display is an accurate instrument for future diagnoses and verifying mask compliance. The AUI is 100 percent remote accessible with any Web-enabled device, including shared screen support with Nautel's engineers and email notification. Add conventional integration with the Burk remote control via the phone line, we have complete control and monitoring redundancy. And speaking of backup and redundancy, each module has its own IPA and dedicated power supplies, so there is no single point of failure. The transmitter can run with several failed modules, and they are hot swappable for seamless maintenance.
I am extremely satisfied with the Nautel NV40. There have been no problems to report, and the station is looking forward to better coverage with lower utility bills compliments of the 0.99 power factor.

The Aurora Vulnerability
Conventional wisdom about digital attacks is that you can steal information, and you may even be able to shut down critical systems, but any damage would be temporary and superficial. A cyber attacker could generate a lot of confusion by killing the lights in California, but give the state and utility officials a few days to reset the systems, and everything would be back up and running. It's a phenomenon that infrastructure security expert Eric Byres, of Byres Security, refers to as "weapons of mass annoyance."In 2007, however, a video leaked out of the Department of Homeland Security that showed an experiment the DHS had sponsored at Idaho National Laboratory. In the video, a massive, green diesel generator shakes violently and belches smoke as it goes into total meltdown. Dubbed the Aurora experiment, it demonstrated how an over-the-Internet cyber attack could cripple big, essential machines.
When the video hit CNN, it alarmed many in the utilities industry. Most of the details of the Aurora vulnerability have not been released, but DHS statements about the experimental hack describe it as a man-in-the-middle, or spoofing, attack, in which a malicious computer intercepts all traffic going between two other computers, essentially controlling the line of communication between them. According to Sean McGurk, director of control systems security for the DHS, the vulnerability was common to control systems throughout critical infrastructure.
The Saboteur's Story
The most Frequently told anecdote in the world of infrastructure cyber security is that of Maroochy Shire. The incident, which occurred in Queensland, Australia, is viewed by many in the industry as an object lesson in the damage that can be done when someone with computer skills and a grudge takes aim at a public system. In 2000, Vitek Boden, a computer expert in his late 40s who had been turned down for a job in municipal government, rigged up his laptop computer to a radio-frequency wireless transceiver to hack into the city's computerized wastewater management system. Over the course of two months, Boden broke into the system 46 times, instructing it to spill hundreds of thousands of gallons of raw sewage into rivers, parks and public areas. He was finally caught when a police officer pulled him over and found control-systems equipment in his car. The reason the Maroochy Shire incident is recounted so frequently is that it shows how difficult it is to thwart hackers who want to disrupt the infrastructure, since attacks can come from almost anywhere. An insider with detailed knowledge could target a specific company's system, or a hacker could launch an anonymous Internet assault from a distant country.The Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team (known as US-CERT) encourages industry to report cyber accidents and intrusions, but there are few legal requirements for private companies to do so. It is possible that many more incidents have occurred, and companies have simply kept them quiet.
Infrastructure is meant to last a long time, so upgrades to existing systems tend to occur at a glacial pace. "There is a long life cycle associated with this," says Jeff Dagle, chief electrical engineer at the Department of Energy's Northwest National Labs. "Utilities are used to this equipment lasting 30 years." Nevertheless, big utilities and industrial facilities are starting to see cyber security as a reliability issue, and are modernizing their equipment, building redundant, multitiered networks (a tactic known in military circles as "defense in depth"). The caveat is that with big utility networks such as the electrical grid, telecommunications or pipelines, a clever adversary wouldn't attack the well-defended components of the system. "Why should I go after the company that put a lot of money into securing its networks when I can get into one that hasn't and damage them both?" asks the CSIS's James Lewis.
Ironically, the current weakness of the economy may provide a shot in the arm for the digital defenses of critical infrastructure. Much of President Obama's stimulus package is aimed at revitalizing infrastructure, and as antiquated equipment gets upgraded, modern security technology can be built in. One example is the Smart Grid, a Department of Energy plan that could receive around $4.5 billion to modernize the nation's electricity delivery system with state-of-the-art computer controls. Of course, more computing technology in the grid allows for more potential attacks, but it could also mean a more robust and nimble defense.
The result may be infrastructure networks that are a lot like the Internet itself. The redundancy and flexibility of the Internet's core architecture has allowed it to withstand two massive denial-of-service attacks--in 2002 and 2007--on the 13 Domain Name System root servers that make up the backbone of the system. In each instance, the servers absorbed incredible amounts of traffic as parts of the system either failed or came close to failing. To the engineers who run the system, it was terrifying, but the rest of the world barely noticed. If our infrastructure were that robust, the cyber war of the future might have little more impact on your life than a dimming of the lights and a shrug of your shoulders.

We should all have a pretty good understanding of the upgraded test bed and lineup of games, so we won't go into any detail there. What we've done though is compare the GIGABYTE 8800GT TurboForce against the Leadtek 8800GT which also carries a Zalman cooler and comes pre-overclocked, though not as highly. We've also included the Galaxy 9600GT to see what kind of gains a highly overclocked 8800GT offers us against the mildly overclocked Galaxy 9600GT.
Version and / or Patch Used: Build 110

3DMark06 is the very latest version of the "Gamers Benchmark" from FutureMark. The newest version of 3DMark expands on the tests in 3DMark05 by adding graphical effects using Shader Model 3.0 and HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting) which will push even the best DX9 graphics cards to the extremes.
3DMark06 also focuses on not just the GPU but the CPU using the AGEIA PhysX software physics library to effectively test single and Dual Core processors.
We can see the superior overclock on the GIGABYTE 8800GT giving us a nice little jump on the overclocked Leadtek 8800GT.

INDIANAPOLIS — Glenda Ritz has been sworn in as Indiana's top public education official, the first Democrat to hold the position in decades.
The former teacher was inaugurated as superintendent of public instruction Saturday at the Statehouse as a crowd of supporters watched and high school choirs performed.
Ritz upset Republican School Superintendent Tony Bennett in November running a campaign against sweeping education changes pushed by him and other top Republicans.
But Gov. Mike Pence and Republicans who Republicans dominate both the Indiana House and Senate are pushing legislative proposals this year to expand school vouchers and use private money to send children to pre-school.
House Speaker Brian Bosma said in a statement that he looks forward to working with Ritz to do what is best for students.

Busy as a Bistro
With Beehive's debut, the South End gets a faux-bohemian haven.
In a neighborhood rife with $30 plates of "comfort food" tarted up with organic ramps and pomegranate purée, the Beehive's quirky grub and chilled-out subterranean setting are a respite. If the scads of day-trippers clad in Nautica and locals with strollers give you pause, though, rest easy. The sophisticated if disjointed menu by chef Adam Halberg offers no amnesty to the Applebee's set: The fried cauliflower with frisée, basil, and grapes and the aptly named "bunch of bacon" seem like snacks that a munchies-addled chef would cobble together off-hours. By the time the live music starts around 8 p.m., the strollers have rolled on and an authentically groovy energy kicks in. And by your second Negroni, it dawns on you that those are legit Berklee jazzers onstage, the artwork is by real local artists, and that cod with bacon, butter beans, and red chili gnocchi is pretty darned good.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- The National Rifle Association held a fundraiser this weekend near the Wilmington Convention Center, and some folks had a few things to say about it with signs that protested the event.
The group, which calls itself Carolinians for Sensible Gun Laws, is based out of Wilmington. Members say they want to spread awareness for the need for gun reform which they say starts in the legislature.
"Right now is a critical time," group member Bert Blake said. "People need to call to their Congressmen, senators and their representatives to let our voice be heard, too."
The group says the NRA acts as a lobbyist in Washington itself. They say the more noise the NRA makes, the louder people need to be about gun reform.

Volvo announced today that it will begin selling plug-in electrical hybrids by as early as 2012, joining Swedish energy supplier Vattenfall for the project. Volvo President and CEO Stephen Odell has high hopes for the plug-in, sayingit "will be a true dream car."
"With the innovative solution we will offer, the car owner will be able to drive a thoroughly enjoyable car packed with Volvo's renowned high safety and genuine driving pleasure," he said.
According to the press release, the hybrid will have an electric battery pack that will drive an "entirely emission-free electric motor," complemented with a diesel engine designed to run on renewable synthetic diesel. In a presentation of the technology today, Odell said the all-electric range will be 50 kilometers (about 30 miles).
Volvo will equip three Volvo V70 wagons with the technology this summer for demonstration purposes.
Odell also revealed to Reuters at the presentation that Volvo was still in talks with prospective buyers, but Ford is in no rush to complete a deal.
"Ford Motor Co has said there are a number of very interested parties in the company," he said. "Ford is, with me as part of that process, talking to those parties, and not ready to give any signs beyond the fact that the discussions are ongoing.
"We'll go through due process and when it will end I don't know. We're not going to do this in haste."

Hi everyone!
I'm looking to set up a 3rd Edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game in Waco, TX. I've got a few players, but I'd like a few more. Here's what you need to know before you decide if you're interested:
We are a serious roleplaying group that focuses on character development and the crafting of interesting stories. If a rule doesn't help our story, we ignore it or revise it as necessary. We do not run hack-and-slash games, though it's Warhammer, so there won't be any lack of fighting. Our stories may have mature themes (we check with players to make sure everyone's okay with that). Regardless, we need like-minded roleplayers interested in a serious (in terms of gamer etiquette, staying mostly in character, etc.) but extremely fun game (if we're not having fun, what's the point?) We are particularly interested in exploring philosophical and moral quandries in our game (I hesitate to say we're highbrow since we are all a bit goofy at times, but we do aim high, I suppose).
To give a view of the current players: I am a first year law student at Baylor; I've just moved here after finishing a Master's in Renaissance Literature (I can't say I got that degree solely for running interesting Warhammer games, but it was probably a factor!) My wife is a teacher. My good friend another intellectual. We're all in our mid-twenties.
Yes, yes, I know that 3rd Edition Warhammer is not out yet. We're getting started now to build a very rich local setting for our characters to survive in and to build deep characters. We prefer to run games with revolving GMs so that everybody gets a character, everyone has a chance to influence the overall story, etc. That said, if you've played but never run games before, we're more than happy to help you ease into the new role.
And now what you've all been waiting for, a bit about the setting: The year is 2522; Count Krieglitz has just returned to his demesne in Eastern Stirland following his service fighting the Storm of Chaos. His campaign experience has introduced him to a number of odd companions; his new court abounds with curiosities and exotic people. The Empire itself is still reeling in the aftermath of the Storm, and nothing is certain. Nobles battle one another to consolidate or expand power, bandits groups grow in number each day, and the working population that supports the Empire has drastically dwindled. It is a dangerous time.
Into this background come our characters - not grand wizards and noble warriors (at least not at first) - but children. We'll be starting the game with our characters as a group of 10 year-olds born to various members of Krieglitz's family, court, or staff. Our first few games will play with Grimm-like themes in the Warhammer setting, and starting as children gives those unfamiliar a chance to learn about the setting. We'll have a few games in the minority of our characters, fill in the gaps of time glossed over, and join them in adulthood to continue their adventures.
We would like to meet on Sunday afternoons or evenings; once we have a group of players established, we'll pick a place to game (my house is quite comfortable for such events) and a firm time.
I will provide the necessary materials - no need to buy anything!
If you have questions or are interested, please contact me at: email@example.com. My name is Justin.
Thanks for bearing with a long post!

1.1.9 International organisations, legal and environment
Australia continued its deep engagement in the United Nations (UN) and other multilateral organisations to address complex regional and global challenges.
The department made a strong contribution to the promotion of human rights by making interventions in the UN Human Rights Council and by participating actively in its Universal Periodic Review mechanism. The department expanded its advocacy of the Responsibility to Protect principle and the Protection of Civilians in peace operations.
The department took the lead in shaping policy for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that Australia will host in Perth in October 2011.
The department led Australia's preparations for the Fourth Bali Process Ministerial Meeting on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime in March 2011, which resulted in agreement on a regional cooperation framework to disrupt people smugglers, manage irregular migration and reinvigorate cooperation to prevent trafficking in persons.
The department promoted Australia's strong credentials for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2013–14 term and led whole-of-government efforts on the campaign.
The department contributed to the Government's action in the International Court of Justice against Japanese whaling.
We supported the Foreign Minister's participation on the UN Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability.
The department supported passage of new laws enhancing Australia's sanctions implementation and coordinated new UNSC and Australian autonomous sanctions regimes across government.
United Nations
Australia continued to take an active role in the UN. The department promoted our national interests in major international negotiations and debates.
Australia promoted the Protection-of-Civilians mandate for UN peacekeepers, including by co-hosting with Uruguay in New York in December 2010 a workshop on the protection of civilians.
The department strengthened its advocacy of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle which is aimed at preventing war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing. As a member of the Friends of R2P, Australia has contributed $5.78 million for the term 2008–12 to support events and research by global institutions to advance R2P. The department worked closely with other countries to promote action by the UN Security Council against the Libyan regime, invoking the principle of R2P. These collective efforts led to UN Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973 in February and March 2011 respectively.
At the high-level meeting on HIV/AIDS in June 2011, the department co-facilitated with Botswana a landmark consensus declaration containing targets to reduce HIV transmission and provide universal access to prevention and treatments by 2015.
The department led an active whole-of-government campaign to secure a non-permanent seat on the UNSC. This included support for Ministerial lobbying, the deployment of Special Envoys and increasing promotion of our strong credentials globally. Australia's Permanent Mission to the UN in New York played a particularly active role. In 2013-14 the UNSC will deal with issues affecting Australia's core national security interests, including Afghanistan and East Timor. A UNSC seat would allow Australia to make a difference more directly in its deliberations.
We lobbied for Australian candidacies for senior UN positions. Professor Ron McCallum AO was re-elected to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2011–14). Australia was re-elected to the International Civil Aviation Organization (2010–13), the International Labour Organization (2011–13) and as its chair for 2011–12, and the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (2012–15). Australia was also elected to the UN Development Programme/UN Population Fund (2012) and the UN Economic and Social Council (2011–13).
The department led Australia's engagement with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and supported the Australian National Commission for UNESCO.
Human rights

Australia contributed to multilateral efforts to promote and protect human rights. The department led whole-of-government participation in the UN General Assembly's Third Committee, presenting Australia's national statement on human rights and contributing to negotiations on resolutions on Iran, Burma, the DPRK, the rights of the child, religious intolerance and trafficking in women and girls.
In its contribution to the 2010–11 Review of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), the department promoted independence of the High Commissioner's office and the Council's special procedures mechanism. Australia was disappointed that the Review's outcomes did not provide a greater role for NGOs and national human rights institutions in the Council's work. The department led a landmark resolution which secured a regular focus by the HRC on the important work of national human rights institutions.
Australia co-sponsored a groundbreaking resolution in the HRC on sexual orientation and gender identity. The resolution requests the High Commissioner for Human Rights to commission a study on discriminatory laws and practices, and recommend ways in which international human rights law can be used to end violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Australia increased its interventions in the HRC's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process which assesses the human rights performance of each UN member state every four years. Australia participated in 40 out of 47 country reviews in 2010–11. The department supported the Attorney-General's Department in preparations for Australia's UPR in January 2011 and Senator Lundy's participation as head of the Australian delegation.
We worked with other UN member states to suspend Libya from the HRC. Following pressure by Australia and other countries, Syria withdrew its candidacy for the HRC. Australia advocated the appointment of a Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran. The Special Rapporteur was appointed in June 2011.
Australia supported the establishment of UN Women, which will coordinate efforts to promote gender equality and women's empowerment within the UN system. The department assisted Australia's delegation to the 55th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women in February–March 2011.
Consistent with Australia's standing invitation to UN human rights experts, the department worked with AusAID, the Attorney-General's Department, the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship on the visit by the UN Independent Expert on Foreign Debt and Human Rights, Dr Cephas Lumina, in February 2011. We also facilitated the visit of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms Navi Pillay, in May 2011.
The department coordinated the Government's appearance before the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in August 2010. Together with South Africa, Australia sponsored a resolution in the HRC in 2010 which mandated a high-level panel discussion on racism at the 18th session of the HRC in September 2011.
An Australian delegation attended the 10th session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York in May 2011 and facilitated Government engagement with the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP). EMRIP provides advice on the rights of indigenous peoples as directed by the HRC.
The department led Australian delegations to the Australia–China Human Rights Dialogue in Beijing in December 2010 and the Australia–Vietnam Human Rights Dialogue in Canberra in February 2011. The dialogues facilitated frank exchanges on freedom of expression, association, religious practice, the administration of criminal justice and the death penalty.
We worked closely with AusAID on the Human Rights Grants Scheme to provide $3.3 million for grassroots initiatives across Asia, the Pacific, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The department held consultations with Australian human rights NGOs in September 2010 and March 2011 on issues coming before the UN General Assembly and HRC. In June 2011, the department co-hosted the second Australian Government – NGO Human Rights Forum with the Attorney-General's Department as part of the Government's Human Rights Framework, announced in 2010.
People smuggling and trafficking
The department led Australia's engagement in taking forward people smuggling initiatives. The Fourth Bali Process Ministerial Meeting on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime Ministerial Conference in March 2011 agreed to a regional cooperation framework to address irregular people movements. The High Commission in Port Moresby was active in advocating consideration by the Government of Papua New Guinea of Australia's proposal to establish an asylum seeker assessment centre on Manus Island. Indonesia's passing of anti-people smuggling legislation was also encouraging.
The department contributed to the Government's Anti-People Trafficking interdepartmental committee (IDC) led by the Attorney-General's Department. We provided information on activities to promote counter-trafficking efforts internationally. The department contributed to the 2009–10 annual report of the Anti-People Trafficking IDC, tabled in Parliament in November 2010 and participated, with ministers, other agencies and civil society, in the Third Annual National Roundtable on People Trafficking in November 2010.
The department continued to encourage countries to ratify the primary international legal frameworks in the fight against trafficking and smuggling, the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its supplementary Protocols on Human Trafficking and People Smuggling.
The department established the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) Policy Task Force to support Australia's hosting of CHOGM in Perth in October 2011. Working with the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Task Force is coordinating the whole-of-government development of Australia's policy agenda. This focuses on: strengthening the Commonwealth institutionally; developing an economic and development agenda that supports global economic recovery and meets the needs of members; and promoting a constructive and influential Commonwealth voice on global issues.
The department supported the Hon. Michael Kirby in his role on the independent Commonwealth Eminent Persons' Group. The group was mandated by Commonwealth Leaders in 2009 to report to CHOGM 2011 on options to sharpen the organisation's impact and raise its profile.
We facilitated Mr Rudd's participation in the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group (CMAG) which met in New York in September 2010 and London in April 2011. CMAG reaffirmed Fiji's suspension from the Commonwealth. The group is considering options for reforming its role to become more active in preventive diplomacy and will present its findings to leaders at CHOGM in Perth.
Sustainable development
The department supported Mr Rudd's participation on the UN Secretary-General's High-level Panel on Global Sustainability. The Panel was tasked to formulate a new vision for sustainable growth and prosperity, and identify mechanisms for achieving it. With the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC), the department commenced whole-of-government consultations to prepare for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in Rio de Janiero in June 2012. The conference will focus on the green economy in the context of poverty eradication and the sustainable development institutional framework.
Ocean and marine conservation initiatives
The department supported the Government's efforts to promote whale conservation and end so-called 'scientific' whaling. These efforts led to increased international support for Australia's International Whaling Commission (IWC) conservation initiatives, including the Southern Ocean Research Partnership. We contributed to the Government's action in the International Court of Justice against Japanese whaling, including the preparation of Australia's Memorial (written submission) filed with the Court in May 2011.
We worked with DSEWPaC to promote regional marine conservation initiatives. This included the Coral Triangle Initiative, a six-country Asia-Pacific conservation partnership for food security and economic development. The department initiated and co-facilitated a resolution in the UN General Assembly on the Protection of Coral Reefs for Sustainable Livelihoods and Development.
Climate change
We worked with the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency to support the Government's efforts to address climate change internationally and domestically. We participated in negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, including the UN Climate Change Conference in Cancún in December 2010. Australia was a key player in negotiating the Cancún Agreements, which secured mitigation pledges from all major economies, covering over 80 per cent of global emissions and 90 per cent of global GDP.
Convention on Biological Diversity
In October 2010, the department led negotiations on the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity which was adopted at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Protocol is an international regime to facilitate access to and share benefits of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge.
Sea law, environment law and Antarctic policy
We advocated Australia's interests in the law of the sea and fisheries through multilateral and bilateral channels. This included contributing to the ongoing negotiation of an international rebuilding strategy for southern bluefin tuna stocks and working on an extension of the Multilateral Treaty on Fisheries between the Governments of Certain Pacific Island States and the Government of the United States. With the Philippines, we co-chaired an ASEAN Regional Forum seminar on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) which sought to broaden understanding and acceptance of UNCLOS as the foundation of a rules-based approach to oceans issues.
We provided legal advice to the department's clients and other agencies on environmental law issues. We also provided advice on Australia's rights and obligations under the legal framework established by the Timor Sea Treaty to promote the development of petroleum resources.
We provided legal and policy leadership on Australia's substantial involvement in Antarctica. We led Australia's delegation to the 34th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) held in Argentina in June 2011. Our Senior Legal Adviser chaired ATCM's Legal and Institutional Working Group. In Argentina, Australia joined with other treaty parties in commemorating the Treaty's 50th anniversary. Australia is one of 12 original signatories and hosted the inaugural meeting of Treaty parties in July 1961. We launched a joint initiative with France and Spain to strengthen support for the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (the Madrid Protocol). Preparations continued for Australia's hosting of ATCM35 in Hobart in 2012.
Sanctions and transnational crime
The department coordinated whole-of-government implementation and enforcement in Australia of UNSC sanctions and Australian autonomous sanctions. The department's regulatory and enforcement activity significantly increased in 2010–11, due to additional UNSC and Australian autonomous sanctions measures imposed on Iran in June and July 2010, and new UNSC and Australian autonomous sanctions imposed against Libya in February 2011 and against Syria in May 2011. The department undertook extensive outreach on requirements for sanctions compliance targeting the exporting, financial services and tertiary education sectors.
We assisted the Minister with the introduction and passage through Parliament of two important legislative reforms. The first was the introduction of amendments to terrorist asset freezing provisions in Part 4 of the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 to Parliament in September 2010 as part of the Attorney-General's National Security Legislation Amendment Bill, and commencing on 25 November 2010. The amendments clarify the legal grounds for a person or entity to be made subject to the Act's asset freezing obligations and require designations under the Act to be reviewed at least once every three years. The second was a Bill introduced in September 2010 to reform Australia's practice in the implementation and enforcement of autonomous sanctions (an identical Autonomous Sanctions Bill introduced to Parliament in May 2010 lapsed when Parliament was prorogued prior to the August 2010 election). The Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 received Royal Assent in May 2011.
The department continued to promote anti-corruption measures both nationally and internationally. We partnered with major law and consultancy firms at a number of events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to raise awareness within the business community of Australia's laws criminalising the bribery of foreign public officials. Training on foreign bribery laws was provided to Austrade staff in Australia and we continued training departmental staff on their responsibility to report foreign bribery allegations against Australians. The department also attended the G20's Anti-Corruption Working Group meetings in Indonesia in September 2010 and in France in February 2011.
The department led Australia's contribution to the Financial Action Task Force on financial aspects of trafficking in persons and people smuggling as well as kidnapping and piracy for ransom.
International law
The department continued to work with the Department of Defence and other agencies to ensure the legal framework for the Australian Defence Force's operations in Afghanistan, including our detainee management framework, accords with all applicable Australian domestic and international legal obligations.
Together with the Attorney-General's Department, we continued support for the International Criminal Court's (ICC) efforts to end the impunity of perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. This is reflected by Australia's contribution as a member of the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), which assists in managing and overseeing the Court. The department encouraged ratification of the ICC's Statute by non-States Parties, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
We continued to support the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in their efforts to advance international criminal justice and enhance the rule of law.
The department led Australia's contribution to an international regulatory framework for private security companies, including through supporting work on the International Code of Conduct for companies operating in complex security environments.
The department provided legal advice to Government agencies on negotiating international agreements and arrangements, including taxation, air services and social security, as well as the Protocol on Investment to the Australia New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement.
Personal Profile:
Deborah Stokes
As head of the International Organisations and Legal Division, Deborah Stokes advises the Government on Australia's involvement in the United Nations, Commonwealth and other international organisations, with a focus on peacekeeping, human rights and international environment issues. A high priority is preparations for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Perth in October 2011, as well as Australia's bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for 2012-13. Another major dimension of the Division's work is advising on international legal matters, including treaties and sanctions, as well as people smuggling issues.
Formerly, Deborah was head of the department's South and West Asia and Middle East Division. She has served as Ambassador in Vienna and Deputy Head of Mission in Tokyo.
"It is an exciting time to be working on multilateral issues when the international agenda is fast-moving and Australia's international engagement is at a high tempo. Cooperating with other countries to promote solutions to global issues is a particularly rewarding feature of our work."
The department continued to support the Parliament's Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT), including JSCOT's review of 56 new treaties. We facilitated the signing of 11 treaties and some 200 memorandums of understanding. We supported consultation with the Australian states and territories on treaties under negotiation, consideration or review and government agencies were advised on treaty implementation and interpretation, including through an information seminar for government officials.
We will advance Australia's interests across a broad multilateral agenda, including international security, human rights and global environmental issues.
We will remain deeply engaged with the UN. The department will intensify the campaign in support of Australia's UNSC candidacy in the lead-up to the vote in October 2012. We will continue to support lobbying by Ministers and Special Envoys and to coordinate whole-of-government efforts in support of the bid.
We will use Australia's hosting of CHOGM 2011 to engage its membership at the highest level, and working with them advance common interests in the Commonwealth and internationally. We will seek to have the Commonwealth focus on its strengths, including support for democracy, rule of law and human rights and to address the economic and development needs of its members, especially small states.
We will continue to give high priority to the promotion of human rights internationally by maintaining our active participation in UN forums on human rights, making bilateral representations on key issues of concern and working to strengthen human rights institutions in the Asia-Pacific region.
The department will intensify its preparations with the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janiero in June 2012.
We will foster regional engagement and participation in the Bali Process on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime. We will also continue to pursue regional cooporation consistent with the framework agreed by the Bali Process, which promotes consistency of processing, durable solutions for refugees and effective return arrangements for those found not to be in need of protection.
The department will continue to support Australia's International Court of Justice case on Japanese whaling.
We will consult industry on regulations to give effect to the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011, as part of ensuring effective implementation of Australia's new autonomous sanctions measures.
The department will play a leading role in Australia's hosting of the 2012 Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Hobart.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Boshoff, Sanette URN etd-10102005-095042 Document Title A taxonomic study of Southern African hyphomycetes Degree PhD (Botany) Department Botany Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof A Eicker Keywords
- hyphomycetes Africa southern biology classificatio
Date 2002-09-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract From May 1994 until the end of August 1994, pieces of decomposing wood and twigs were collected from different locations in the Northern Cape Province, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and in the Western Cape. Fifty-nine taxa were recorded (one new genus, one new species and 43 new records from southern Africa).This study reviews the development of the taxonomy of the mitosporic fungi, in particular the Huyphomycetes, makes some comments on the structure-function relationships and functional diversity that occur and describes a large number of new Hyphomycete records for southern Africa.
The classification of these micro-fungi has been controversial since inception. As the asexual phase of a sexually reproducing organism (the ascomycete or basidiomycete states), the taxonomy is covered by a dualistic nomenclature whidh is an exception of Principle IV (one organism: one name) of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN). Alth9ough the role of morphological features in the development of anamorph taxonomic theory has evolved as microscopic image technology has advanced, inadequately defined characters, obscure distinctions between morphologically similar species and a weak theoretical base undermine the usefulness of this system. Molecular systematic studies are yielding a wealth of new fungal taxonomic characters. Molecular technology can generate the data required to verify phylogenetic relationships in this artificial classification system, but is subject of the constraints of time, money and expertise. Neither morphological nor molecular based taxonomy is inherently superior. The utilitarian aspect of morphological systematics, in fact, is the great advantage over molecular methods. However, from the viewpoint of applied mycology, the biochemical profiles of these organisms offer the most useful identification system. The taxonomic significance of the results from such investigations and their contribution to a better understanding of the complex situation are undeniable.
All earlier views and systems were based on the knowledge and technology available at that time. Current students of this group can similarly only base their views and proposals on the information available. Current knowledge is advanced to what was known then. This will also be true about today's concepts and those still to come. The now redundant systems were created to serve science and not because of human inadequacies. The nature of these fungi dictates to scientists an arbitrary species concept and user-friendly taxonomic systems. Various opinions about terms, and especially the conidiogenic processes, appear to be confusing, but led to a functional, although phylogenetically inadequate, system. What Kananaskis could not do for phylogenetics, it did for standardization of terms.

Both football and baseball require running quickly and covering long distances in a short period of time. Sheer strength is an asset that's utilized to either crush a ball, or crush a person. And footwork is vital, whether it's a second baseman and shortstop attempting to turn a double play, a quarterback planting to throw, or a wide receiver running the perfect route.
There are more similarities, but even just those core skills begin to show why so many athletes have been successful in both sports, or at the very least have had their talent acknowledged by scouts and coaches on both sides. The pipeline between football and baseball is well worn, with two Heisman Trophy winners playing professional baseball.
Who knows, maybe the next crossover star could be a quarterback currently running, jumping and shuffling at the NFL Combine. He could be taken off the board during the first round on draft day, so you might know him.
His name is Jake Locker. Prior to starring for the University of Washington for four years and building his golden arm status, Locker was pitching and patrolling the outfield for Ferndale High School and playing in a 2008 college summer league.
For Locker, baseball is far more than just a sporting hobby to keep the athletic juices pumping when it's not football season. The Los Angeles Angels took a flier on him in the 2009 MLB draft, selecting the 22-year-old in the 10th round. He later signed with the Angels and received a $250,000 signing bonus, and Los Angeles now controls his MLB rights until 2015.
So if a doomsday scenario plays out and Roger Goodell's stare down with DeMaurice Smith continues into the summer and fall, Locker could end up at a minor league ball diamond near you.
Whenever crossover athletes between football and baseball are discussed, the two no-brainer names immediately tossed out are Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson. Sanders will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, and stole 168 bases over nine professional baseball seasons, finishing with 56 in 1997. Remembered most for his time with the Atlanta Braves, Sanders remains the only player to appear in both the Super Bowl and the World Series.
Blue Jays fans remember Sanders for something entirely different: his heel that hit the glove of Kelly Gruber, and umpire Bob Davidson's botched call.
Even though he wasn't drafted and therefore hasn't been on the field for an NFL snap, Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija also instinctively comes to mind when rhyming off crossover players. Smardizija piled up 2,520 yards as a standout wide receiver at Notre Dame, and may have been selected in the first round if he chose to enter the NFL draft.
But we're not interested in widely known answers to softball trivia questions around here. There are a number of lesser known failed forays into baseball prior to long football careers that blossomed into multiple Pro Bowl appearances. The sheer number of NFL players who were drafted by an MLB team is triple-take inducing, and thankfully they all chose to pursue football.
Archie Manning could have seriously altered NFL history if he put down the pigskin and picked up his ball glove to play shortstop for the White Sox.
The list: football players drafted by baseball teams
Michael Vick
Drafted: 30th round in 2000 by the Colorado Rockies
The MLB draft is a disgustingly long monstrosity in which over 1,500 young men are plucked from the nether regions of the athletic kingdom. This results in a few odd football-related selections, and it's why Colorado took a flier on Vick 11 years ago with the 887th overall pick. At the time Vick had just finished leading Virginia Tech to the national title game, and hadn't played baseball since grade eight.
The Rockies saw him scampering between the chalk lines of the football field, and figured he could do the same in their outfield.
Dan Marino
Drafted: 4th round in 1979 by the Kansas City Royals
Some flame-throwers can throw their flames while using any throwing motion. Marino would have been around for the Royals' glory years in the early 80′s, so maybe this was his best shot at a championship.
Archie Manning
Drafted: 3rd round in 1971 by the Chicago White Sox
Imagine a world where Archie's kids were inspired by his range at shortstop, and Peyton is now with the Orioles, Eli is shagging balls out in left field in Cleveland, and Cooper is the backup catcher for the Brevard County Manatees.
I think I just vomited in my mouth.
John Elway
Drafted: selected by the Royals in 1979, and the Yankees in 1981.
Elway didn't sign with the Royals, but stuck around in New York's system to play right field for the Oneonta Yankees, hitting .318 over 42 games in 1982.
Akili Smith
Drafted: 7th round in1991 by the Pittsburgh Pirates
Smith performed the rare dual flop. Before notoriously becoming one of the worst draft busts in NFL history, Smith quite fittingly flamed out with the Pirates while playing in Pittsburgh's minor league system for three years during college. The woefully inaccurate quarterback finished his professional baseball career in 1995 with a batting average of .125.
Ricky Williams
Drafted: 8th round in 1998 by the Philadelphia Phillies
While he was breaking records at the University of Texas, the always erratic Williams was spending his offseasons trolling the minor leagues as an outfielder. He spent four seasons in the Phillies' system, reaching Single A. His best year came in 1996 when he finished with three home runs, 20 RBI, and eight stolen bases while striking out 87 times.

Chico, Ca, October 22, 2012 – The weekend's competition was fierce as several manufacturers made their way to the new Silver Dollar RC Raceway for this year's World's Warm-Up race. Top drivers from Team Associated, Kyosho, and Hot Bodies and A Main Hobbies seized the opportunity to get familiar with Silver Dollar's racing surface, enormous drivers stand, stadium lighting and premier facilities. For many, this was their first chance to compete on the newly constructed Silver Dollar track. "It was absolutely amazing," said Team Associated's Ryan Maifield. "The track has tons of grip and the driver's stand is the nicest I've ever driven from," said Kyosho's Cody King. "We wanted to give the pro racers a facility they look forward to visiting, and local enthusiasts a track they'd be proud of. I believe we accomplished our goals," says A Main Hobbies owner, Kendall Bennett.
Blair & Tebo Earn Wins In Truggy and Buggy
After battling back and forth with seasoned Hot Bodies' racer and fellow A Main Hobbies' teammate Tyler Vik, young up and comer, Austin Blair, was able to squeak out the victory in Open Truggy by just a few seconds. "It felt good to get the win, I'm glad I held off Vik who was charging hard at the end of the race, " said Blair.
Team Associated's Ryan Maifield dominated the first half of the Pro Buggy race. Maifield would stretch out his lead to over a 10-seconds, but unfortunately for him his tires would not hold up. His car's traction and lap times began to suffer as the tires became unglued. Kyosho's Jared Tebo took advantage of Maifield's misfortunes and was able to overtake Maifield late in the race. "I had a rough start and went to the back of the pack early in the race. Thankfully, I stayed focused and was able to work my way through the field," said Tebo.

We can change how our brain functions. We can change the very structure of the brain. There are enormous implications here for anyone who has ever been labeled with a psychiatric illness. We can change and heal our minds and brains and we need not do it in detrimental fashion with neurotoxic medications. (but if we've gone that route, we can also heal the damage done)
Self-compassion and awareness are the qualities we need to start to heal our mind and body. Bringing mindfulness to a problem is the beginning of change. Paying attention to a process is changing the process! Even before any behavior changes.

At Serenity Farms, we strive to raise meat and eggs the old fashioned way. Our animals don't need medications, do well on pasture, and are raised humanely to the point that almost every animal on our property is used to the human touch. We aren't health nuts, but appreciate the differences between food raised by big business as a profit venture, and animals raised for the specific purpose of food, but not treated as product while still living and breathing.
I read an interesting article over the weekend which made me ponder. It was about how some of us are so anti big ag business that all we do is spend our time tearing them down instead of concentrating on what is beneficial to us and thus our consumers. While we don't debeak our birds or some of the other nasty stuff we have all heard about in the poultry industry, I have lost chicks to inclement weather, and crushing them under a portable tractor, none of which would have happened in a climate controlled, stationary gage commercial setting.
That said, My chickens are certainly raised in a more natural, freer environment, allowing them a more natural lifestyle for their short time here on earth.
I am not a scientist, but am quite able to read as well as copy and paste, and believe that sunshine and exercise, is not only good for humans, but our food, as it is being raised as well.
Thanks for reading and we'll talk again soon.

Vitamin C in Skin Care
By: Peter T. Pugliese, MD
Posted: June 2, 2009, from the June 2009 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 11
GSH is a tripeptide containing three amino acids: glycine, cysteine and glutamic acid. It is a critical antioxidant that acts as an electron donor. GSH reduces any disulfide bond, an –S-S- group, within cytoplasmic proteins to cysteine groups, –S-H. Figure 5 shows this reaction in a simple form illustrating the electron transfer, as well as the structure of GSH. The importance of GSH lies not only in it being a critical antioxidant, but also that it is tied in with the regeneration vitamin C.
Other functions of vitamin C
Ascorbic acid is important in the metabolism of diverse amino acids that lead to the formation of norepinephrine, serotonin, homogenistic acid, carnitine, and hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. It functions in enzymatic reactions and as a transport for the neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine and serotonin. In fact, ascorbic acid is both in the production and protection of these neurotransmitters. Carnitine is found in the heart, muscles, liver and skin. One of the major functions of carnitine is to carry long-chained fatty acids into the mitochondria from the cytoplasm of the cell. This accounts for the lack of energy and lassitude seen in patients with scurvy.3
The liver serves as a major detoxifier in the body. Drugs and certain metabolites, such as bilirubin, are toxic if they remain in their original configuration. The liver uses many enzymes to modify these potentially dangerous chemicals, and these reactions often require a reducing agent, such as vitamin C. An example of this action can be found in cigarette smokers who usually have lower vitamin C levels than nonsmokers, even though they have the same vitamin intake.4
Perhaps the single most important function of vitamin C is in electron transport. On the molecular level, life is all about the transfer of electrons because when that process stops, it's all over.
Finally, vitamin C interacts with mineral nutrients. Did you know that vitamin C intake has nutritional consequences on mineral nutrients, both inhibitory and enhancing type reactions. As an example, vitamin C in the diet can increase the absorption of intestinal iron and selenium, and it reduces the absorption of copper, nickel and manganese. Oddly, it has no effect on zinc, calcium and cobalt, or toxic metals, such as cadmium and mercury.5

The urban school system of the future : applying the principles and lessons of chartering

Charter schools--United States, Education, Educational change--United States, School management and organization--United States, Urban schools--United States, Urban--United StatesAbstract:
Summary: "For more than two generations, the traditional urban school system--the district--has utterly failed to do its job: prepare its students for a lifetime of success. Millions and millions of boys and girls have suffered the grievous consequences. The district is irreparably broken. For the sake of today's and tomorrow's inner-city kids, it must be replaced. The Urban School System of the Future argues that vastly better results can be realized through the creation of a new type of organization that properly manages a city's portfolio of schools using the revolutionary principles of chartering. It will ensure that new schools are regularly created, that great schools are expanded and replicated, that persistently failing schools are closed, and that families have access to an array of high-quality options. This new entity will focus exclusively on school performance, meaning, among other things, our cities can thoughtfully integrate their traditional public, charter public, and private schools into a single, high-functioning k-12 system. For decades, the district has produced the most heartbreaking results for already at-risk kids. The Urban School System of the Future explains how we can finally turn the tide and create dynamic, responsive, high-performing, self-improving urban school systems that fulfill the promise of public education.

As the days in southern Germany get a little colder – not as much as I expected though as it seems the summer we missed out on was just a little late coming to the party – yet another season of interesting food is upon us.
In Australia, most of our trees stay green all year round and equally, a lot of our food is available throughout every month. Of course, berries are more expensive in some months but we're not known for our seasonal treasures. In Germany though, my diet is constantly being peppered by some type of food or drink that is only available for a short time each year, and therefore must be consumed in bulk and with as many variations as possible.
During the spring, it was Spargel. We learned to cook it after a few trial and errors and the white asparagus tasted delicious with hollandaise sauce and almost every meal. The summer brought fruits which all but disappear completely otherwise, and I ate so much watermelon and strawberries I'd picked myself I nearly popped. Over September, we drank a special wine called 'federweisser' which is only available in it's purest form for one month. It tasted like a delicious sparkling juice but with an alcohol content of 11% it's also quite lethal. As this phase dies down and the production ceases at our local supermarket, it's been swiftly replaced with the pumpkin.
There are now suddenly pumpkins everywhere. They weren't my favourite vegetable growing up though they are a staple in a roast dinner in Australia. But now, I've found myself Googling countless recipes and taking tips from friends to put pumpkin in almost anything we can think of.
Last week, when I felt slightly ill, my medicine was always going to be pumpkin soup, and it worked a treat. I'm a big fan of BBC Good Food and use the site for most of my recipes, because they often have great feedback and the ingredients are mostly available in German supermarkets (big ones anyway). This week I am cooking a roast for the first time in Germany and plan to include as many pumpkins as possible. We are also hoping to cook this pumpkin pie for the first time and a friend has given me a recipe for pumpkin frittatas. If I turn orange by the end of this month I'll know why.
I've said it many times before, but this is one of the reasons I love living in Germany so much – every season brings a new treat, and the excitement over what's coming next into our kitchen creeps up on me without fail every year.
The end of daylight savings is upon us as I take to a dark street on my way to work every morning. But while in Australia that time of year brought so much gloom as you looked ahead to winter, here it means something else is coming around the corner; Christmas Market season. Hello gluhwein! :)

"This is not what I expected. It made a very small cake and despite 2tsps of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of baking soda it didn't rise very much. It almost looked like bread or scone texture when it came out of the oven. The orange sauce, althoughy good, didn't soak in very well, even with the holes. The texture of the cake was ok.

"This is fantastic. I used butter instead of shortening, so it didn't turn out as white as probably shortening would. I loved it,though, and the consistancy is great for spreading. I used small eggs and added 1 more cup of powder sugar. I never would have thought of using eggs in a non cook frosting but I'm sure glad I tried it. Thanks"
"This is the same as #67856. I have made it many times and it is delish. The only change I make is I use one package of cream cheese instead of two. It's just enough to make it the moistest coffeecake the you have ever eaten. I make it in a 9X13 pan."
"This is so simple to throw together. It is always gone... no leftovers. I make it for all the holidays and it goes with everything. Tasty way to serve corn. I always add a 2nd can of whole corn kernels, to it, so there is a little extra. I find that I need to bake it about 50 min. at 375."
"I have searched for this recipe high and low. My husband and I laughed so hard. This is definately going to be a keeper. I think I will make it right before I do the *#@%* Christmas cards. Cherry Mistmis and a Slappy yew near."
"Loved this recipe. Cuts beautifully. Used a 10x15 pan. I used butter for the shortening and it worked perfect. Needed a tad more crust, so next time I will do 3 cups of flour and 3/4 cups of milk.

"I have made this 3 times now. Every time is just as good. It has become a favorite at birthday time. Frosting is excellent, and a must. I serve it with chocolate ice cream, and it is a huge hit. I adjusted the recipe for a 12x17 inch pan. For that size it bakes for only 22 min. at 350 in a convection oven"
"Just realized I forgot to rate this cookie. I must give it 5 stars. Most wonderful flavor."

The classic economic treatise that inspired Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century
'It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest'
With this landmark treatise on political economy, Adam Smith paved the way for modern capitalism, arguing that a truly free market – fired by competition yet guided as if by an 'invisible hand' to ensure justice and equality – was the engine of a fair and productive society. Books I–III of the Wealth of Nationsexamine the 'division of labour' as the key to economic growth, by ensuring the interdependence of individuals within society. They also cover the origins of money, the importance of wages, profit, rent and stocks. Smith's work laid the foundations of economic theory in general and 'classical' economics in particular, but the real sophistication of his analysis derives from the fact that it also encompasses a combination of ethics, philosophy and history to create a vast panorama of society.
This edition contains an analytical introduction offering an in-depth discussion of Smith as an economist and social scientist, as well as a preface, further reading and explanatory notes.
The Wealth of Nations Books IV-V are also published in Penguin Classics.

Sister's Graduation--December 2013 (first ever PTR)
Okay everyone, I'm a frequent poster on the DIS and even more frequent lurker. Mostly I sit in the background, occasionally making comments. But now, I've decided to make my first ever PTR!
Cast: Me--Jen, almost 19, lover of all things Disney!! DSis--Steph, 25 (26 by trip), former CP and obviously a Disney nut!! (Will be graduating with a Masters in Early Childhood Education in Dec. hence the trip!) DG-ma --Wilma (Nana), 77 by trip, loves Disney even if at a slower pace nowadays!! I wasn't planning on starting my PTR yet, but my sister surprised me today with an early birthday gift!! My birthday is on March 28th but next Wednesday Beauty and the Beast is coming where she lives (roughly 1-1/2 hours away from my college) for one night only and since it's the night before my late day at school (or even if it wasn't) she's taking me to see it as an early present!!! (Also note this Spring Break will be the 2nd time she's gone to New York to see a friend...leaving poor lil sis home. The first time she remedied by taking me to WWoHP to the special Celebration of the 7 Movies and I got to meet so many stars!! Much better than NY!) Anyway...this is why I decided to start the PTR early!!! A few more little facts about the trip!! My grandfather is retired military, so with Nana's ID we can stay at Shades of Green which is wonderful to save money and also be on-property! Buses will be much easier with her being on a scooter for most of the walking. Oh, I'm also currently making us a Planning Binder for showtimes, ADRs, Cirque reservations, etc. so as I get more done on it I'll add pics to the PTR!! Well, that's all I have for now! I'll be sure to update as often as I can if I see a response! Of course bear in mind I am in college!! :D Times is hard here!! RKN Contents: Cast/Early Birthday Present
