Alpenwolf: I can promise this will be the last time she gets captured...for a lone while, so you don't have to worry about getting annoyed. Though, this one will be a bit different...
Hitoshirezu Ryu: Chaos will come...much chaos... :D
Shiningheart of Thunderclan: Gabriella tried to find a place to relax without getting caught; she didn't expect the slavers to come from the trees. And she tried to make sure the others were safe, but it kinda backfired... She'll make up for it though. :D
the phantom of arts: Well, I have a beta for Bones, so I get the chapter to her at the beginning of the week so I only have to worry about His Heir. Plus, I have detailed outlines of the stories now. :)

Chapter 83: Warzone
Oz crawled through the narrow air ducks with Daniel traveling at his heels. This was one of the pluses about being an abnormally short height; he could get into small places, which allowed him to get information. Or get treasure, especially treasure. Oh, how he loved treasure.
Though, treasure aside, his job, as well as the boy's, was to locate Gabriella and, as Kidd called them, the other bitches, and steal the keys from the head auctioneer, Jazzy Hat. A lame name just like the other auctioneer stationed at Shabondy, Disco was his name. A fact as it may be, that was beside the point. They had a mission to save the three mermaids before they could make it to the stage or else they would have to go into sticky plan B. There was a lot of work ahead of them, that was for sure, but Daniel didn't make it easy with all his sniffling.
"Keep it down, boy!" Oz snapped quietly over his shoulder. "They'll hear us if you don't stop!"
Daniel let out a muffled cry as he bit down harshly on his lower lip. "S—sorry—" He murmured lightly. "I just feel…really bad…"
Oz scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Don't be; we can fix this," he firmly said as he continued on, crawling until they reached the end of a tunnel. The silted metal of the grate allowed him and the boy to see the barred cells and cages of those captured by slavers over the weeks, the men, women and children cowering in corners with thick slave collars around their necks.
Though, the only ones they paid attention to were Gabriella and the twins.
The summoner mage was violently feisty; fighting back to the best of her ability. "You dick-headed-ass-bastards," she shrieked bloody murder, slapping the auction house employee that tried to place a slave collar around June's neck. "If you dare touch them I'll rip your hearts out and feed them to Satan himself!"
Upon the threat, they warily stepped back, even though she shouldn't have been a problem since she already had a slaver collar around her neck. But, she was protecting the twins to the bitter end until the douche-bag known as Jazzy Hat came through his office doors, looking eerily calm.
Gabriella spurred devilish curses that no one but hellions could understand as she scowled darkly towards the man in a more hideous getup than his Boss. It was only true, and Gabriella made a point of that, switching back to a language everyone could understand, which only made the auctioneer frown deeply with knitted thick brows as he back handed her as if she were a common whore.
Daniel gasped loudly, and Oz instantly slapped a hand over his mouth to silence the boy. Luckily they weren't caught as the auctioneer and his employees latched slaver collars to the frightened twins when the summoner mage was distracted by the pain. Then the employees dragged them out to 'the bowl' while other employees rounded up the other people in the cells and cages.
When the coast was clear, Oz then removed his hand from the boy's mouth, feeling salty water staining his skin.
"D—Did I do this…" he stuttered softly, his tiny form shaking as tears slipped down his cheeks.
Oz sighed a patted the boy on the back. "Nah, boy, it has nothing to do with you. Just misfortune and bad luck, and the only ones getting the sharp end of the sword are the sap who sells her and the bastard who buys her."
Kidd growled lowly under his breath when he glanced narrowly to the side, watching as the infamous pompous World Nobles marched into the auction as if they owned the place. Though, in a way they did. These people could get away with anything, especially if one was a serial killer murdering and torturing all walks of life and the whole world knew about it. It was a cruel twist to the world that made pure evil villains of the world like gentlemen. It was déjà vu yet again since this wasn't the first time he said something like that.
"Damn," he grumbled, scowling murderously at the three nobles strolling down the stairs, striking fear in the eyes of others around them.
The two men trailing behind the woman like ducklings; a definite Oedipus Complex right there. A mother and her sons ready to separate families because they think God gave them the fucking damn right to do it. It was sick, even to Kidd's standards because the Marines did shit about. They didn't even call it slavery; it was employment. Sick, just sick.
"Mummy," the thin and tall son whined childishly to his mother, making the harsh looking woman glance over her shoulder. "I want a new maid! A pretty one, too!"
"Hmph," the woman scoffed arrogantly. "You may buy as you will, my son, but you have an limit to your spending."
"But Mummy!" the tall son groaned obnoxiously, his narrow face stretching down to the extreme with his jaw. "One billion beli isn't enough to buy multiple maids! One isn't enough! I need more to test them to see which is the best."
The noble's mother huffed, rolling her eyes. "Don't carelessly throw money a bout; it's waste."
The tall noble continued to whine like a four year old having a tantrum for not getting a toy in the window of a shop he saw for only a mere second. But then the tall noble glanced over to his short and chubby brother. "Hey, Oracle; give me a few hundred beli! I'll let you borrow of my new maids~" he suggested with wiggling eyebrows.
Oracle hugged the wads of beli in his to his large torso and turned away from his greedy brother trying to reach it. "No, Prophet," Oracle grunted rudely. "I need all this money for what I want."
"Uh-huh," Prophet rolled his narrow eyes with hands on his hips. "And what would that be?"
A wide and deviously wicked smirk crossed the chubby man's lips as he chuckled mischievous. "Why, only a mermaid will please me…"
And that was the last thing Kidd heard before the World Nobles walked out of earshot and made their way to the VIP booth in the front of the auditorium. His eyes opened wide as he ground his teeth together and his mechanical fingers dug into his bare skin and his hand gripped a large piece of metal on his iron arm. "Damn," he hissed, biting his lower lip in frustration. "Damn, damn, damn! This is gonna be a war. Fuckin' damn..."
Heat looked to Killer, a wary look in his eyes, but Killer could only shrug. With a sigh, Heat turned back to his captain. "Unwise, Captain," Heat murmured in his ear. "That's the Holloway Family."
"I don't give a shit," Kidd barked bitterly. "All I know is that blood will spill."
"Kidd," Killer then cut in. "You risk suicide by killing one of them."
Bedros then perked up, his eyes opening a fraction wider. "Are these alien-looking fools really that bad?"
"Yes," Killer quickly answered before speaking to Kidd once more. "You know first hand what happens and I doubt the Marines would allow something like that to happen again, you know. Not only do you have your crew to worry about, also Block's."
Kidd snapped his head towards his first mate and growled viciously. "Are you saying I should forget about her and move on just for the safety of men that know how to handle themselves? I picked the best of the best for my Fleet, except that ass Token. Don't insult them by calling them weak, except Token, and don't you fucking suggest I leave Gabriella behind!"
Killer held up his hands in defense and took a small step back. "I wasn't suggesting any of that. I was only saying to stick to the plan. Oz and Dan are trying to get the girls before they make it to stage—"
"Welcome folks to the Auction House! We will be starting in only five minutes so get your beli bills together for the show!"
Killer felt a bead of sweat on his cheek when he saw the murderous scowl on Kidd's face. "Okay, that plan didn't work, so we go to plan B. Oz and Dan look for a spare key while we give them time raising the price."
"Do you think that they'll sell each girl separately or together?" Bedros then asked.
"Separately," Wire replied. "They'd get more money if they did that."
"Doesn't matter," Kidd scoffed. "We're only worrying about Gabriella."
"Totally smart idea," Killer sarcastically said. "Since, you know, Gabriella risked her freedom to save June and Riley's."
Kidd merely growled.
Killer ignored him and continued on with the plan. "So, when the auction is over, there are a few minutes before the Nobles get the girls, since we know they are buying them, and Dan and Oz will get the collars off and Gabriella then get port the hell out of there. By the time we get back to the ships, the old man should be found. Everyone is looking for 'im and all."
"Sounds fool proof," Kidd scoffed, but then he stiffened when the true auction became.
Never before had he felt like this, feeling his heart pounding against his chest when he knew the worst was placed before him on a sliver platter. Biting his lip until it bled, he waited for the last to appear, the mermaids, his girlfriend. God, he didn't want to see her on that stage and he hoped with all his night that Daniel and Oz got them out in time and just couldn't contact them. But no, that's not what happened.
"Here it is folks, the last bundle of the evening!"
And the fishbowl holding his lover came, rolling into the limelight on stage so all the men could awe in her beauty. Kidd, though, felt different. He paid not attention to the words the auctioneer said to rial up the the crowd. He could on stare at her in the water hugging her chest with one arm as her free hand held a blooming blue and purple bruised cheek.
Before the auctioneer could even utter the starting price after the failure of a description of his girlfriend, the pompous noble known as Prophet shot up from his seat, startling his family as he held a fist full of beli and roared: "One billion beli!" with a red blush and tiny stream of blood coming from his nose.
Rage flood in his veins and all he saw was red. Kidd forgot the plan instantly as if it were a speck of dust in his mind. When he heard that price of the one he loved, nothing mattered. Only death. Gabriella, his summoner mage, was priceless to him. He growled deeply as he stepped forward, ready to behead any that got in his way.
But then he suddenly stopped. And it wasn't because of Killer's hand latching to his arms.
It was her. That look in her eyes; he'd never seen it before. It was evil, pure evil. Such rage flowing from her golden eyes made him shutter, not out of fear, but thrill. It was new, exciting. But then his eyes opened wide and skin when sheet white when he saw the gold of her hands glowing brightly in the water.
"No…" he mumbled; she wasn't supposed to attack, she couldn't attack. He could, but her…the collar.
Her hand rose high above her head, forcing a portal to open behind her.
"NO!" Kidd roared, ripping his grip from the firm hand trying to keep him in place. They would kill her for sure is she attacked or stepped out of line, especially when two other mermaids waited in the wings.
The crowds were in fright when they saw the portal and large clawed, red hands covered in scars and veins snake from the colorful mix of magic. He saw the Auction House's guards line up, ready to shoot the cause, but then the auctioneer pulled out the button to end the threat once and for all. Kidd skidded to a stop within the panic erupting all around him and held out a hand so the little metal device would be in his hands.
But it was too late.
The button was pressed.
Though, instead of the deadly blast bursting within the glass of the giant fishbowl, it was redirected towards the one that pushed the button.
The smoke only added to the confusion that Kidd had, but then he heard that deep rumbling of a demonic voice.
"Stupid twerp. You know you are never to summon me unless it has to do with him."
Kidd's eyes opened wide at the sight of a hideous devil, a devil he had never seen before.
And from behind, through all the screaming of men and women calling for the Marines, he could only make out the loud shout of Bedros shouting in pure terror:

Stop knockoffs
Those of us from and in East Liverpool, Ohio, are very concerned about the knockoffs of Homer Laughlin China Co.'s Fiestaware ("West Virginia dinnerware maker sues firms selling Chinese products," May 7 and TribLIVE.com). The 1960s and '70s Japanese takeover of the pottery business has literally destroyed our entire cities of East Liverpool, Ohio, and Chester and Newell, W.Va. Our community will not allow the Chinese to destroy the last pottery in our area.
We are starting a social media campaign against the manufacturers, distributors and retailers of these knockoffs. Our Facebook pages are "Memories of East Liverpool," "Plate Turners of the World" and "You Grew Up in East Liverpool." We encourage all residents of these three cities to write their congressman, senators and media to stop the blatant knockoffs. I have over 30 members of my family in these very poor cities who work at Laughlin, and if Laughlin declines, these cities will literally dry up. The last bank is leaving East Liverpool right now.
We love our city and any help would certainly be appreciated by thousands of Liverpudlians. Thank you.

I agree wholeheartedly with your effort to prevent Asian carp into the Great Lakes (Our view Jan. 14). I can't imagine that the U.S. government doesn't think it's important to stop the carp before they invade and destroy all the life-supporting environment for all other species in the Great Lakes, not to mention sport fishing and commercial fishing.
Keep up the good work; you are still a big voice in this community and yours is surely heard.

Britney Spears confirmed her Las Vegas residency on Good Morning America Sept. 17—but the big announcement was hardly a secret, given that she'd been in talks with Planet Hollywood since early 2013. What was surprising, however, was that the pop princess spoke rather candidly about exes Jason Trawick and Justin Timberlake during her interview with Sam Champion.
"During this album, I had a breakup with Jason that I went through that I wrote a lot about," Spears said of her former fiancé, with whom she split in January after a 13-month engagement. "Breakups suck, man! They do." (Her untitled eighth studio album drops Dec. 3.)
Participating in a lightning round of questions, Spears was asked how old she was when she had her first kiss. "Oh, my god," she squealed, appearing slightly embarrassed. "Maybe 13?" Champion then asked the mom of two who she smooched. "It was Justin," she replied, referring to her former Mickey Mouse Club costar. (The musicians reconnected years later and dated from 1999 to 2002.)
Spears, who's currently seeing lawyer David Lucado, is excited to be bringing her act to Sin City. "I really enjoy what I do. I have fun performing," she said. "I feel like I'm at home on stage and I feel blessed that I'm able to do that, that this is my job."
Even for Spears, it's hard to believe that her debut single, "...Baby One More Time," was released 15 years ago. "When I first started out I always wanted to make just enough money to buy a beautiful home in Louisiana and to have kids and do that," she admitted. "I never thought I was going to continue to do what I do."

Do you want to write for Ink 19?
The Bloody Angle
Whatever happened to southern rock? For a while it was under the weather with a bad case of the Indie Flu, but now it's back and sassy as ever. The Bloody Angle are so authentic that they recorded direct to analog tape with no Autotune, edits, or overdubs. Who knew you could still do that today? The result is a consistent album full of story songs, excellent musicianship, and composition that is fresh and exciting without getting artsy or weird.
The title song "Bloody Angle" retells the story of a particularly nasty Civil War battle at Spotsylvania. "Sarah" tosses a baby into the well out of shame. "The Devil's Runnin' Scared" takes us to a tent meeting that doesn't just proselytize but brings the hammer of God's justice down on some sinners, even though their sin wasn't anything any of us haven't done on a Saturday night.
Vocals come from the band's founder, Matt Singleton, and while he doesn't sound exactly like Hank Sr., he hails from the same "rode hard and put away wet" school of country vocals. Behind him we hear lead guitarist Jason Butler. His sound is distinctly electric, ranging from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Molly Hatchet. He pulls off some interesting harmonies with bassist Brian Temples, and since they pinky swear there's no multi tracking, I think they tuned the bass and guitar to the same key to get that warm fuzzy layered effect on strings. Overall these boys strike the right balance between old school pain and twang and modern angst and introspection. I'm very happy to discover this band; it makes up for oh-so-many others.

Nurses are providing a supportive and sympathetic service to cancer patients in Wales, according to the first Welsh cancer patient experience survey.
The survey – produced by the Welsh Government in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support in Wales – surveyed 7,532 people across Wales who received a cancer diagnosis between June 2012 and March 2013.
It found 88% of patients were given the name of a clinical nurse specialist (CNS), and those with access to dedicated named staff felt much more positively about their treatment than those without them.
An overwhelming 92% of respondents said their CNS definitely listened carefully to them and 92% got understandable answers to questions all or most of the time. 78% said their CNS was easy to contact.
Despite only 60% of patients saying there were always or nearly always enough nurses on duty to care for them in hospital, 86% of patients said ward nurses did not talk in front of them as if they were not there, with 73% of patients saying they had confidence in all of the ward nurses treating them.
A good patient experience will help Health Boards in Wales deliver more person-centred care, a commitment in the Welsh Government's Cancer Delivery Plan.
Macmillan Wales is working with the Health Boards and the Welsh Government to highlight best practice and make improvements where needed.
For example, the plan says that by 2016 all patients will be given a full assessment of their needs and be involved in developing a written care plan.
However, just 22% of patients said they had been offered a written care plan while 58% had been offered the opportunity to discuss their needs and concerns.
The survey also found 30% of patients were not told they could bring a friend or relative with them when they were diagnosed with cancer.
Every Health Board has been sent a copy of Macmillan's toolkit, which highlights good examples of person-centred care in Wales and how Macmillan can work with them to improve patients' experiences. It can be downloaded here.
Macmillan also offers training for both Macmillan and non-Macmillan nurses. For information, contact Macmillan Wales on 01656 867960.

Swedish company Parans has found a way to collect sunlight by panels in over 500 lenses, transmit it through fibre-optic cables and illuminate light-deprived interiors. In each room, the sunlight flows out through specially designed luminaires.
Parans luminaires give a mixture of parallel light beams and ambient light, just as when the sun strikes through the foliage of a forest. The system allows you to tell the weather even without windows or skylights, re-establishing a connection with the outside environment.
I don't beleive it! I've being asking around trying to ascertain the viabliity of this as a project for a while now. Oh well, at least somebody's on the case!
Can it give you a sunburn? I assume not (the panels don't collect UV rays?). But I get burned quite easily...
This is basically "piping light" and this isn't the first I heard of it, there was even a report of a Japanese company doing it in Toyota a decade+ ago, so what makes this unique?
The SunPipe has been around a while http://www.sunpipe.com/and is a simple, excellent idea--I've seen one in action illuminating a basement kitchen. This fiber optic idea is a different animal-- higher tech, for better or worse, more flexible, way more chic, and I would think much higher cost. The advantage is that architects can send light through the walls with the wiring rather than having to accommodate a pipe.
I saw a cooler application of these by an Israeli company. Rather than diffuse the light at the other end, they left it highly concentrated. Result: Sun-powered laser powerful enough to do surgery with. It's used in hospitals in Israel, which only have a few cloudy days/ year.

I nominate Guts from Berserk for Best Character Design.
I'd like to nominate Shinichi Mechazawa from Cromartie High School for Best Character Design.
He can oil himself. :hee
Can I vote for Dante from DMC3? It's a game so I thought I should first ask...
I'd like to nominate Mabui from Naruto for Best Character Design.
She IS hot. :amuse
I will nominate Kuugo Ginjou, from Bleach. Aside the story and his personality (Which I actually enjoyed since is the first enemy of Ichigo that acts fluent and relaxed) He has such a cool and badass design. His sword may be the first Claymore we see in the series and it gets more and more cool as it evolves.
And his Bankai looks awfully similar to Arrancars.
In that case, I'll like to nominate Teresa from Claymore for the Best Character Design category :)
Because she is beautiful, mature, confident, skillful and could handle the other top 5 warriors single-handedly

QUEZON CITY, Philippines, Oct. 20 (UPI) —
Jamalul Kiram III, who attempted to reclaim the Malaysian territory of Sabah for the Philippines, died Sunday from kidney disease, his daughter said. He was 75.
The Malay Mail reported his daughter, Jacel Kiram-Hassan, told DZBB Radio in Quezon City in the Philippines her father "returned to our creator."
Kiram — sometimes called the sultan of Sulu — was hereditary ruler of a political entity that no longer exists. His Wikipedia entry says he once described himself as "the poorest sultan in the world."
When the Sultanate of Sulu became part of the Philippines, it included Sabah, an area on the island of Borneo. In 1878, the sultanate either ceded or leased the territory to the British North Borneo Co., with Malaya taking the position that the transaction was intended to be permanent.
Kiram sent 200 of his followers to Sabah in March as an invasion force. In three weeks, 68 people were killed, including some Malay police officers and civilians.
In her radio announcement, Kiram-Hassan said her father wanted his heirs to continue the effort to reclaim Sabah.

And to some, it was kind of exciting to think about. To others, kind of frightening.
The word was Ted Nugent was coming to the small northern York County village of Wellsville.
Yes, that Ted Nugent - the Motor City Madman, gun enthusiast and all-around insane person.
Hide your daughters.
Seriously, hide them. (In 1978, a 30-year-old Nugent signed on as legal guardian of a 17-year-old Hawaiian girl to make their relationship legit.)
The same Ted Nugent who said, last year, that if President Obama were re-elected, he would be either in jail or dead within a year. (Last anyone heard, Nugent is still at large and alive.)
It's not exactly clear how the rumor started.
At first, the word was Nugent was an investor in the business buying the farm at the end of Warrington Road, just outside of town. Then, it morphed into Nugent buying the farm himself. Then, it further mutated into a story about how Nugent was buying the place to set up some kind of private hunting grounds, where he would import elk and other game to be hunted by paying clientele - perhaps armed with rocket-propelled grenades.
And then it got weird. You half expected to hear that the Nuge was going to start manufacturing nuclear weapons in Wellsville as a means of exercising his Second Amendment rights.
It was like that kids' game, Telephone, in which a simple statement, passed around, becomes completely twisted. And this one was twisted. What started as the sale of a gentleman's farm turned into dire warnings about the impending arrival of a loin-cloth wearing, gun-toting lunatic.
It sounded too weird to be true.
It is true that the farm did change hands. And it's true that the new owners are doing some renovations and putting up new fences and all of that. And, well, a lot of things are true.
The farm, once the home of a locally prominent doctor, had been sold in January 2012 to an entity called Diamond Creek Farm, out of Paris, Ky. And Diamond Creek had been renovating the barns and building some new stables and generally sprucing the place up.
The new owner is Adam Bowden, who, along with his father, owns Diamond Creek.
I called Bowden and asked him about the rumor that, somehow, Ted Nugent was involved in the farm.
"What?" he said. "Really?"
The farm is family owned. "We don't have investors," he said. "It's just my father and me."
His father is a real estate investor and Bowden runs the day-to-day operations, he said.
Ted Nugent is not involved in it at all.
Bowden has no idea how such a rumor would start.
He is a horse person and has been ever since he spent a couple of summers working on the Hanover Shoe Farm - a renowned farm for the breeding of standardbred horses. He started out at the bottom, mucking out stalls and turning out mares. He learned a lot about the business there, and learned a lot about how the Hanover farm works. He was around the place long enough that it got into his skin. Horses were his future.
He learned how to shoe horses at Hanover and went to work plying that trade. He worked as a hand at horse farms and eventually managed a few horses farms before striking out on his own in Kentucky in 2005, soon making a name for himself by breeding successful standardbred horses. The New Zealand-based website Harnesslink.com - which covers harness racing internationally - has described the farm as "one of the United State's most impressive standardbred broodmare farms."
Being based in Kentucky, though, was difficult. The state is best known for its thoroughbred farms. Some of the best standardbred farms are up north, and arguably the best is in central Pennsylvania - the Hanover Shoe Farm, which has produced legendary standardbred horses and sets the standard for the industry.
He went shopping for a place in Pennsylvania, and as soon as he saw the 200-acre farm outside of Wellsville, it was over.
"It was a good fit for us," he said.
He is still working on the farm, but it is up and running. They have some 40 mares there and a stallion, looking to expand the stallion ranks as they come off the tracks.
Ultimately, he said, his goal is go head-to-head with his former mentors in Hanover.
"I don't know how much we'll be able to compete," he said, "but we're going to give it a shot."
And he's going to do it without Ted Nugent.
"Where that story came from, I can't tell you," Bowden said. "It's kind of funny. But there's nothing to it. I'm sorry to disappoint people."
No problem.
Disappointed isn't the word.
Relieved is more like it.

I'm sure they're the future, but until everyone has superfast speeds at home, digital game downloads on XBox One will – for most people – be a pain in the A.
My friend has been dying to "get ready for Titanfall", so this morning he dutifully started downloading the game (today is its UK release date). He pinged me at 09:00 to say it was at 6%. At 17:30, I got this message:
33% in and still no play. But have mopped kitchen, been to tesco, had car cleaned, done front garden and walked dogs. Might hoover next!
XBox Live is already smart enough to asses the suitability of my network connection for multiplayer, so in this next-gen day of "digital first, physical second", it should assess download suitability, too: "your internet connection sucks, mate; it'll take you 2 days to complete this download. You'd be be better off purchasing a physical copy of the game from one of these fine outlets near you…" ∞

|The impact of maternal obesity on gestational outcomes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22838105 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|To investigate the effects of raised maternal BMI on pregnancy outcome in glucose tolerant women, using the IADPSG criteria. Prospective observational study of fetal and maternal outcome in a cohort of pregnant women recruited to a universal screening programme for gestational diabetes under the ATLANTIC-DIP partnership. Maternal outcomes included glucose, delivery mode, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), preeclampsia (PET), antepartum hemorrhage (APH) and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Fetal outcomes included birthweight, congenital malformation, fetal death, neonatal jaundice, hypoglycemia and respiratory distress. Increasing maternal BMI was associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes: higher cesarean section rates, pre-eclamptic toxemia, pregnancy induced hypertension, increased birth weight and congenital malformation. There was also an association between normal range glucose and emergency cesarean section, hypertension of pregnancy and birthweight. In spite of tightening criteria for hyperglycemia during pregnancy, raised BMI is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome.

Airport Authority Culture
In the Reno-Tahoe region, the airport plays a role well beyond its runways and taxiways. It is important for the airport to connect our community to the world, it is also important that the airport connect with the greater Reno-Tahoe area. Innovative community outreach, membership in civic organizations and public and private partnerships are all hallmarks of the Airport Authority culture. Here are just a few ways our organization participates in the community:
- Partner in Education with Swope Middle School since 1993
- City of Reno "Corporate Challenge" – Participants since 2003
- United Way Campaign - Participants since 1998
- Nevada Women's Fund "Woman of Achievement" sponsor
- Hispanic Chamber of Commerce member
- High Sierra Industries "X-treme Abilities Challenge" participants
- Nevada Hispanic Services Adalante Awards sponsor
- Leadership Reno-Sparks Adult Program participants
There's a fun side to the Airport Authority as well! Employee events throughout the year serve as a great way to get together outside of work and grow as a team:
- Halloween costume and pumpkin-carving contest
- Summer picnic
- Holiday party
- Fundraisers
- "Pep Squad"
- Shakespeare Festival "Airport Night"
Camaraderie and teamwork are the hallmarks of our employee work groups. Working together, we set high standards and take pride in the job we do to operate and maintain the airport, making it a safe, convenient and comfortable gateway to the world.
Our Employees
Here's what a few of our talented employees have to say about working for the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority:
Debi – Payroll Administrator (employee since 2002)
RTAA Employee of the Year, 2005
"I enjoy working for the RTAA because it provides me opportunities to grow professionally, personally and creatively while still being small and personable. I have met many new people that started as coworkers and have grown into friends."
Suzanne – Marketing Technician (employee since 2005)
"I really enjoy working for the RTAA for several reasons. First: it's the people. The co-workers in my office make it a welcome and friendly environment. In addition, I get to interact with employees from all departments and the people I run into are consistently talented, helpful and care deeply about their work. Second: the very generous benefits, including medical, flexible spending plans and tuition reimbursement for continuing education. And third: the airport is just an exciting environment to be in!"
Kathy – Capital Improvements & Grants Coordinator (employee since 1979)
"Working for the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority has been a rewarding experience for me. The airport is busy, with the hustle and bustle of all the people, passengers, tenants, and employees. Wow! It's a city within a city. The salary and benefits package here are great, and I've had a lot of advancement opportunities through the years. I've made lifelong friendships and working at Reno-Tahoe International Airport has been an exciting venture!"
Ray – Police Sergeant (employee since 2007)
"I enjoy the camaraderie between the airport staff - it feels like one big family. I also enjoy the interaction with the traveling public who are appreciative of our help."
Dawn – Warehouse Assistant/Driver (employee since 1980)
"I like working at the airport because of the people – they pull their own weight and there's lots of great camaraderie. It's been fun to watch the airport grow over the years – it's really been incredible – you had to see it to believe it! I've been given lots of opportunity to move and advance which keeps it interesting. Also, the retirement and benefits are really good."
Scott – Airfield Maintenance Superintendent (employee since 1983)
"Battling the elements to keep the airfield operational for the traveling public during the winter season is one of the most challenging and enjoyable parts of my job. Also, the camaraderie of the Airfield Maintenance team makes my job a worthwhile and rewarding experience. And finally, working around an active Aircraft Operations Area is a very challenging way to spend your day. I guess you could say I thrive on challenge!"

Coach Gene Chizik and the Auburn Tigers' season goes up in smoke.
- Filed Under
A The final nails are being driven in the coffin of the Gene Chizik era at Auburn.
Two major blows were recent road losses to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt, two of the Southeastern Conference's weakest programs, and another sharp thrust with the hammer came with the Tigers' humiliating 63-21 loss to league newcomer Texas A&M on Saturday night.
Auburn fans started streaming out when it was 28-0 early in the second quarter. ...

Jasmine Larson Bush and Rachel Jackson Adams, the fictional church "first ladies" in the new book "Friends and Foes," seem to be more foes than friends.
But the authors who created them - also ladies who go by three names - are in reality close friends who clearly love writing together. And they will be in Montgomery this week for a book signing.
"Friends and Foes" (Gallery Books, March 2013, $15) is the second book by the team of ReShonda Tate Billingsley and Victoria Christopher Murray, who were both established novelists when they teamed up for their first novel, "Sinners and Saints." ...

CALGARY – Don't tell Akim Aliu and Henrik Karlsson that Game 82 on the schedule between two non-playoff teams doesn't mean anything.
Aliu scored his first two National Hockey League goals and Karlsson earned his first win since January 21, 2011 as the Flames beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 at Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday afternoon.
Karlsson earned the win – his first in 442 days - and improved to 1-4-2 after a bumpy road throughout the season backstopping the always-active Miikka Kiprusoff.
"It's nicer [to win]," Karlsson said. "People talk about it. Obviously, I want to win when I'm playing. It's always nice to win. It doesn't matter what kind of win it is. It doesn't matter if it's a practice or if it's a game. It's always nice to win."
Aliu finished his two-game audition with two goals and an assist, while delivering several bone-crushing hits and drawing a handful of penalties. He's hoping it was enough to catch the eye of Flames management.
"Hopefully the management liked what they saw and hopefully they give me a long look next year," Aliu said. "That's all I can really ask for. They've been so great to me that I can't really think too much ahead. Hopefully they give me an opportunity and I'll make the most of it."
A pair of quick goals in the final minute of the second period by two defensemen helped Karlsson end the skid.
Bouwmeester skipped a weak shot over the shoulder of Ducks starter Jonas Hiller with 42.1 seconds remaining in the period before Anton Babchuk's blast whizzed by the Anaheim starter 25 seconds later.
The two goals came after killing a lengthy 5-on-3 that saw Karlsson stop Corey Perry's crease scramble, Jason Blake's one-timer and a redirection off the stick of Devante Smith-Pelly, three of Karlsson's 23 saves in the game.
It was the second two-man advantage the Ducks received in the period. Bobby Ryan scored on the first at 13:33 after firing a Ryan Getzlaf pass along the ice that snuck through Karlsson's pads.
Aliu added his second of the night 7:24 into the third period. Bouwmeester's wrist shot hit Aliu's skate while he was trying to jump out of the way of the puck, redirecting it behind Hiller to give the Flames a 4-1 lead.
Lee Stempniak extended that lead to 5-1 with 2:42 remaining in the game. Stempniak walked around Getzlaf and fired a shot that was blocked by Francois Beauchemin. Stempniak retrieved the puck and beat Hiller for his 14th of the season.
Ryan finished the scoring with 26.8 seconds remaining, coming out of the corner and wrapping the puck around Karlsson to make it 5-2.
Aliu started the scoring in the first period on Calgary's opening shot of the game.
Attempting to center the puck to a streaking Michael Cammalleri skating through the slot, Aliu's pass redirected off the skate of Ducks defenseman Luca Sbisa and behind Hiller for his first career goal and a 1-0 lead 4:01 into the game.
"It's something you think about your whole life, but you can never plan for it. You can never know what the feelings are going to be like," Aliu said. "I think when it happens, you don't believe it for the first while to enjoy it. It was incredible."
He does, however, plan on painting a prettier picture when describing his first in the future, suggesting he instead, "Toe-dragged Lubomir Visnovsky and put it off the bar."
While the game could be the start to a promising career for Aliu, it could also be the last for future Hall of Fame member Teemu Selanne, who was held pointless by the Flames.
"It obviously was tough to finish the season like this," Selanne said. "Not making the playoffs, it's very disappointing. Our first half was so bad and we played pretty well in the second half, so that's a little better news."
The 41-year-old didn't have an immediate answer for what the future holds.
"My whole situation, I don't really know," Selanne admitted. "I'm going to take a little time off and think about things and value some things and see what happens. I still had a great time. Every day I had a huge smile on my face to come to the rink. That's something that's most important for me."

Anzacs in Arkhangel
The untold story of Australia and the invasion of Russia 1918–1919. Learn More
In November 1918, as World War One was coming to a close and soldiers were returning home, a small group of Australian men signed up for more fighting. Yet this time, the enemy was Russian Bolsheviks instead of Germans, and the front line was the wild and frozen wastelands of far north Russia. With humour and an eye for irony, Michael Challinger tells the story of how this group of 150 Aussies was seconded to help to protect the British from a rear guard attack from northern Russia.
Stationed in the small town of Arkhangel, the soldiers became embroiled in what was to become the Russian revolution, as they battled not only the Bolsheviks but also extreme cold, hostility from locals and a 25-kilometre front line. Two of these Australians soldiers went on to win Victoria Crosses and are perhaps our most neglected war heroes. Anzacs in Arkhangel brings Russian history into focus and reveals how easily the First World War could have been lost. It is a fascinating account of part of the Anzac legend that is not so much forgotten as never known.
