Vicki Cain put in a pre-bid announcement last year and her bid is
there ready to be voted on next month at the CIVL Plenary. Her bid has a good

Forbes in January, 2012 (get your accommodations early) and the Worlds in
January 2013, two years from now.

I wanted to take a few minutes to say how much I am enjoying

Wills Wing Covert harness. I have written about it to some extent so far on this
trip to Australia (see here, here,
here, and in more
detail here).The harness is very comfortable and I've had no problem...

He was set to go to the next competition, but he can't as they
won't let him into the country (after being there often before). The government

Alex Cuddy is going in his place.
