It is encouraging to see PHIL COLES AM some of the younger athletes beginning to make their mark PATRON in the sport. Brittany Dutton dominated the female triathlon TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA race at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing in August 2014, spearheading the Australian team’s performance with a convincing Gold Medal.

I congratulate Aaron on securing an automatic Olympic team nomination as the best placed Australian in the Top 10 at the Rio test triathlon event earlier this year. From a participation perspective, the number of clubs taking up the TRYstars junior program bodes well for a strong pipeline of junior members entering the triathlon community. I am particularly pleased that TRYstars is XQLTXHDPRQJVWVLPLODU³¿UVWWRXFK´SURJUDPVRϑHUHGE\ RWKHU1DWLRQDO6SRUWLQJ2UJDQLVDWLRQVLQWKDWLWRϑHUV the opportunity for children to learn and practice all 13 fundamental movement skills outlined in the Australian SULPDU\VFKRROFXUULFXOXP,WDOVRRϑHUVWULDWKORQFOXEVD ready-made program to deliver and attract local kids to their club.

I was elected to the Board in 2012, and throughout the 2014-2015 membership season held the position of Vice President. During this time I have had the pleasure BEN HOUSTON of witnessing the association evolve and advance in PRESIDENT numerous ways. The strong foundations of our association TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA allow us to service the members and stakeholders of our sport, and capitalise on the organic growth in popularity and participation of the sport that we have seen in recent years. Anne Gripper has played an instrumental role in building a solid base for Triathlon Australia over her 5 years as CEO and I would like to thank her and wish her success in her future endeavours. One of Anne’s legacy’s to the sport is the new 2015-2018 6WUDWHJLF3ODQ$QQHDQGKHUWHDPRIVWDϑDORQJZLWKRXU STTA’s, the Board and numerous stakeholders have all played a role in formulating the new plan which will guide our sport over the next 3 years. When I read the plan, I am inspired by the many ways that triathlon can assist Australians to lead an active, healthy and enjoyable life. Our new purpose is ‘to enrich the sporting landscape in Australia by issuing a unique challenge that anyone can accept’. This aligns with the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) goals for NSO’s, but it also reminds us why triathlon plays such an important role in its unique ability to cater for all ages and abilities, shapes and sizes, backgrounds and diversities. I am thrilled to welcome Miles Stewart into the role of CEO. Miles has been a triathlon World Champion, Board Member, committee member and fan of the sport. Miles will bring a level of passion, enthusiasm and insight that I have no doubt will lead the sport into a successful future as we deliver on the objectives of the new strategic plan. Sadly, I must acknowledge the loss of Jackie Fairweather in November 2014. Jackie played an important role in WKHMXQLRUGHYHORSPHQWSDWKZD\RIRXUVSRUWDVWKH¿UVW U23 coach at the AIS and instigator of the U23 World Championship category and that is something that we can always be thankful for. I personally am honoured to be taking part in the inaugural Jackie Fairweather Memorial Triathlon in November this year to pay my respects to an outstanding athlete, administrator, coach, Board member and ambassador of triathlon. I have no doubt that the triathlon community will support this event and hope to see many of you there in Canberra.

  • Sexual Selection Research on Spiders: Progress and Biases
    Biol. Rev. (2005), 80, pp. 363–385. f Cambridge Philosophical Society 363 doi:10.1017/S1464793104006700 Printed in the United Kingdom Sexual selection research on spiders: progress and biases Bernhard A. Huber* Zoological Research Institute and Museum Alexander Koenig, Adenauerallee 160, 53113 Bonn, Germany (Received 7 June 2004; revised 25 November 2004; accepted 29 November 2004) ABSTRACT The renaissance of interest in sexual selection during the last decades has fuelled an extraordinary increase of scientific papers on the subject in spiders. Research has focused both on the process of sexual selection itself, for example on the signals and various modalities involved, and on the patterns, that is the outcome of mate choice and competition depending on certain parameters. Sexual selection has most clearly been demonstrated in cases involving visual and acoustical signals but most spiders are myopic and mute, relying rather on vibrations, chemical and tactile stimuli. This review argues that research has been biased towards modalities that are relatively easily accessible to the human observer. Circumstantial and comparative evidence indicates that sexual selection working via substrate-borne vibrations and tactile as well as chemical stimuli may be common and widespread in spiders. Pattern-oriented research has focused on several phenomena for which spiders offer excellent model objects, like sexual size dimorphism, nuptial feeding, sexual cannibalism, and sperm competition. The accumulating evidence argues for a highly complex set of explanations for seemingly uniform patterns like size dimorphism and sexual cannibalism. Sexual selection appears involved as well as natural selection and mechanisms that are adaptive in other contexts only. Sperm competition has resulted in a plethora of morpho- logical and behavioural adaptations, and simplistic models like those linking reproductive morphology with behaviour and sperm priority patterns in a straightforward way are being replaced by complex models involving an array of parameters.

  • Creating a Superheroine: a Rhetorical Analysis of the X-Men Comic Books
    CREATING A SUPERHEROINE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE X-MEN COMIC BOOKS by Tonya R. Powers A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August, 2016 Approved: __________________________________________________________ [Chair, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Head, Major Department] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Fine Arts and Humanities] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Graduate School] [Date] ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of a two-year X-Men comic book publication that features an entirely female cast. This research was conducted using Kenneth Burke’s theory of terministic screens to evaluate how the authors and artists created the comic books. Sonja Foss’s description of cluster criticism is used to determine key terms in the series and how they were contributed to the creation of characters. I also used visual rhetoric to understand how comic book structure and conventions impacted the visual creation of superheroines. The results indicate that while these superheroines are multi- dimensional characters, they are still created within a male standard of what constitutes a hero. The female characters in the series point to an awareness of diversity in the comic book universe. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my thesis committee chair, Dr. Hanson, for being supportive of me within the last year. Your guidance and pushes in the right direction has made the completion of this thesis possible. You make me understand the kind of educator I wish to be. You would always reply to my late-night emails as soon as you could in the morning.

  • The Rusted Shield: Government’S Failure to Enforce—Or Obey—Our System of Environmental Law Threatens the Recovery of Puget Sound’S Wild Salmon
    The Rusted Shield: government’s failure to enforce—or obey—our system of environmental law threatens the recovery of Puget Sound’s wild salmon Daniel Jack Chasan March 2000 Commissioned by the Bullitt Foundation Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. If government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. Justice Louis Brandeis1 [M]y primary emotion when recalling the past 20 years of environmental law is one of profound disappointment. This disappointment is due to the continuing failure of federal agencies and officials to do a better job of implementing and enforcing our environmental laws.…[G] overnment is all too often the environment’s worst enemy. Agencies and officials charged with implementing and enforcing our environmental laws frequently fail to do so. They miss statutory deadlines, water down strict legal requirements, or simply refuse to use their enforcement powers, even when faced with blatant violations of the law.… [T]he current situation, where laws are implemented, if at all, only half-heartedly . fosters cynicism and serves to undermine faith in our system of law. Rick Sutherland2 Before we spend a fortune and disrupt people’s lives to restore wild salmon runs in Puget Sound, we should take a long look in the mirror. The same government agencies that have started tapping the cornucopia of federal salmon restoration money have ignored, selectively enforced, or actively violated the laws that are already supposed to protect salmon and salmon habitat.

  • Ana Burgos, a Por Medalla En El Mundial De Triatlón
    COMUNICADO DE PRENSA Ana Burgos, a por medalla en el Mundial de Triatlón La deportista española busca su mejor resultado en un Campeonato del Mundo Gamagori (Japón), 8 de septiembre de 2005.- Ana Burgos afrontará el domingo 11 de septiembre a partir de las 3:45 (hora peninsular española) su enésimo reto del año 2005. Subcampeona de Europa de triatlón y duatlón, segunda en la Copa del Mundo de Hamburgo, tercera en la Copa del Mundo de Madrid y campeona de España de triatlón, Burgos luchará por colgarse otra medalla, pero esta vez será el más difícil todavía: nada más y nada menos que en el Campeonato del Mundo de Gamagori. Sería su mayor éxito desde que hace poco más de un año lograra diploma olímpico en los Juegos de Atenas. La deportista madrileña, que estará acompañada en la selección española por la guipuzcoana Ainhoa Murua (cuarta hace 20 días en el Europeo de Triatlón), espera poner la guinda a una temporada 2005 de ensueño. De hecho, pese a su brillante palmarés de este año, Ana Burgos ha orientado todo su calendario para llegar en plena forma a la cita de Gamagori. Y tiene ante sí un reto de gran envergadura, ya que su mejor resultado en un Mundial ha sido el octavo puesto logrado en Queenstown 2003. Ana, de 37 años, sabe que se encuentra en el mejor momento de su extensa carrera deportiva y que nada tendrá que envidiar ni física ni mentalmente al resto de sus principales rivales en Japón. “El nivel del Mundial es totalmente distinto a cualquier otra carrera”, manifestó Burgos nada más recoger su medalla de plata en el pasado Europeo.
