Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes
1) WIFI/Internet Access
Please be aware that wifi and internet access is not as readily available in Australia as in other parts of the world. There are often additional charges to connect to the internet, and speeds may be slower than what you are used to.
2) Baggage Allowance
The max luggage allowance on domestic flights within Australia is 1 checked bag (20 kgs) and 1 carry on (7 kgs) per person.
3) Public Holidays
Over public holidays in Australia and New Zealand (such as Christmas, New Years Day, Easter, and Anzac Day) there may be some limitations of services and disruptions to schedules. In general our tours still operate effectively over public holidays, but there may be closures of optional activities and restaurants, and slight itinerary adjustments in order to provide all tour inclusions.
4) Combo Trip
Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
Group Leader Description
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). The CEO will be the group manager, leader and driver – this person is experienced in the routes travelled and will organize and lead the meal preparations and has experience in cooking a variety of local and international dishes for large groups.
As the group coordinator and manager, the aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. They will also offer suggestions for things to do and to see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends.
We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting – we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 16, Avg 12.
Meals Included
11 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 1 dinner
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. On truck trips in Africa, aboard the M/S Expedition or our Galapagos yachts, while trekking in remote regions etc. food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. For Independent trips please check the itinerary for details of meals included. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Private vehicle, plane, boat, walking.
About our Transportation
Our vans in the red centre are mini-coaches. Occasionally with smaller group sizes we will use smaller, equally comfortable 13-seater vehicles. All mini-coaches tow a trailer for luggage and camping equipment (when needed). All groups have one CEO/Driver.
The vehicles are factory built with comfortable seats and air-conditioning. It is mandatory to wear a seatbelt while riding in our vehicles.
Local Flights
All internal flights are included in this trip – Your CEO will give you your ticket on the day of flight. The max luggage allowance on domestic flights within Australia is 1 checked bag (20 kgs) and 1 carry on (7 kgs) per person.
Solo Travellers
We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hotels (11 nts).
My Own Room
Please note that if you have booked the "My Own Room" option for this tour, you will receive your own single room for all night stops
Joining Hotel
For details of your joining hotel please refer to your tour voucher, G Account, the G Adventures App or contact your travel agent.

Please note that Day 1 is an arrival day and no activities have been planned for that day other then your welcome meeting in the evening, so you can arrive at any time.
Your CEO will organize a short meeting soon after arrival, during which you will meet other tour participants and receive information about general and specific aspects of the trip. A welcome note will be left for you in the hotel so you have all the necessary information regarding the meeting time. If you arrive late, s/he will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.
Arrival Complications
We don't expect any problems, and nor should you, but if for any reason you are unable to commence your trip as scheduled, as soon as possible please contact your starting point hotel, requesting that you speak to or leave a message for your CEO (if you are not on a group tour please refer to the emergency contact details provided in this dossier). If you are unable to get in touch with your leader, please refer to our emergency contact details.

What to Take
The max luggage allowance on domestic flights within Australia is 1 checked bag (20 kgs) and 1 carry on (7 kgs) per person.
You will be on the move a lot, so our advice is to pack as lightly as possible.
We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. Heavy luggage is not recommended for the health of the CEO, who will take a lead in loading the storage trailer. Due to space in the trailer, we will not be able to accommodate more than one piece of main luggage per person. A good size day-pack (20-35L) is also essential to carry your personal gear for the day, as access to luggage between destinations will be limited. This daypack will be used to carry your personal gear for the day, your lunch and a water bottle.

Visas and Entry Requirements
All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent. It is your own responsibility to have the correct travel documentation. Visa requirements for your trip will vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. We keep the following information up to date as far as possible, but rules do change and sometimes without warning. While we provide the following information in good faith, it is vital that you check the information yourself and understand that you are fully responsible for your own visa requirements as some nationalities need to show proof of an onward travel from New Zealand at the time entry.
A valid passport and visa is required. For some nationalities, the visa can be issued by your Travel Agency or the Australian Embassy via Electronic Travel Authority (ETA).
To apply for an ETA online, travellers must hold a passport from one of the following countries:
- Brunei – Darussalam
- Canada
- Hong Kong
- Japan
- Malaysia
- Singapore
- South Korea
- United States
More information about the ETA and how to apply can be found here:
If you do not hold a passport from any of the above countries, you cannot apply for an ETA online. You may be eligible to apply for an ETA through a travel agent, airline or an Australian visa office. Alternatively, you may be eligible to apply for other types of electronic visitor visas. See: www.immi.gov.au
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping.
Please note that American Express is not widely accepted in Australia and it is highly recommended to bring other forms of payment.
Money Exchange
The Australian currency is the Australian Dollar (AUD) and currency in New Zealand is the New Zealand Dollar (NZD).
Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in both countries and can be used to purchase small and large items. When purchasing products or services with a foreign credit card you may be charged additional fees by your credit card company for foreign purchases.
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances but you must remember to bring your PIN number (be aware that many ATM machines only accept 4-digit PINs). Both Cirrus and Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. Both Visa and Master Cards are the most widely accepted credit cards. While ATMs are commonly available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work check with your bank before you travel. A visit to an ATM can be arranged on Day 1 and other days of the trip.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of local currency (preferably smaller bills, 5's, 10's and 20's) and credit cards is best. Currency exchange is best obtained prior to travel or at the airport, currency exchange is easy to find in New Zealand in the gateway cities and most banks do accommodate.
Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
It is not customary in New Zealand or Australia to tip service providers, but if you do experience outstanding service it is good to do so. Such service would only usually be in places like quality restaurants and it would be very rare that you would tip more than 10%. Unless specifically asked to do so at the time (by your CEO) – do not tip your local guides. Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures Chief Experience Officer did an outstanding job, you may consider a small tip – but it certainly isn't expected.

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical ratings for trip specific information.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
Trip Specific Safety
Heed the caution signs at all times in National Parks and other remote areas in New Zealand and Australia.
Between November and March, there is extreme heat with temperatures averaging between 43-46°C in the middle of Australia, especially around Uluru. This can lead to heat exhaustion and potentially become very dangerous. Be sure to drink plenty of water and replenish electrolytes by drinking sports drinks, coconut water or water mixed with electrolyte powder packets. Our CEOs have been trained in first aid and are well-versed in the risks associated with this heat.
As a result of this heat some included walks may be closed in the interests of travellers health. Certain walks around central Australia including Uluru and Kata Tjuta are closed when weather is forecast to exceed 36°C. During these hot months, we will endeavour to offer all walks early in the day to avoid the heat. Our CEOs will monitor the weather conditions to gauge the safety of any included walks and may need to call off a given day's walk due to extreme heat.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEO has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

President Barack Obama will mark Election Night at Chicago's McCormick Place, a senior campaign official confirmed to NBC News Wednesday.
The indoor convention center is a far different one from 2008, when an estimated 240,000 people poured into Grant Park for the the Election Night rally and subsequent celebration.
The biggest concern for the campaign is weather, according to an NBC Chicago source. Early November can often be cold and wet.
Others, however, have noted the security is also an issue, making the event at Grant Park a difficult one to recreate.
The Grant Park event, including security, cost an estimated at $1.74 million and was paid by the Democratic National Committee.
McCormick Place was last on the national and world stage in May, when Chicago hosted the NATO Summit.
The campaign announced earlier this week that Obama will vote in Chicago on Oct. 25. First Lady Michelle Obama has cast her ballot by mail.

RDH Resumes and Career Guidance - Free Tips

What We Did on Our Holiday is downright adorable.
What makes this movie a hoot? Three adorable children who comprehend the world with their own little brains, see relationships with their own beady innocent eyes, and act on their reckless instincts and innocent unbloomed knowledge. What We Did on Our Holiday is a delightful perspective into the abyss of the broken that skims its aftermath gorgeously.
David Tennant looks the right kind of perplexed in the comedy trying to figure out his children and marriage whilst Rosamund Pike complements him beautifully with her engaged acting. Ben Miller as Gavin is brilliant as well. Billy Connolly ices the funny storyline with his pizzazz and brilliant comic timing.
The screenplay is witty, subtle and snappy. The good thing about its humour is that the entire film, unlike other comedies, is not build on a slapstick foundation. The theme of the movie sometimes goes really thoughtful from sheer comedy which further furbishes the rhythm. The plot will make you giggle per se without any extra addition to the story.
If you look at the downsides, sometimes you do hope the drama to be a little bit more grave. It lacks profundity, but considering it a Comedy, this fact can be overlooked.
A brilliant comedy that is compelled to traverse the 'outstanding category' by the mere cuteness rush of Harriet Turnbull and Bobby Smalldridge. This Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin project is a definite go go!

Hello everyone,
I'm going to be sending out thank yous to FaceBook friends after the passing of my Mother a beautiful woman who lived a full life and passed at age 85.
As I'm sure as many of you know, when something like this happens or when something difficult is going on in someone's life, generally people will say this, " So sorry to hear the news, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers."
I see it as kind, but I have thing about the prayer thing. People who really know me, generally say I'm thinking about you or can I do anything to help? I think I need to point out that I would rather not have prayers. I don't want it to be a diatribe against religion, just point out that some of us prefer just to be in your thoughts. If it opens a discussion, then I'm fine with it, but they better be ready to not be offended by me expressing how I got to my lack of belief.
This is what I thought I would post about prayers being offered:
"And lastly, I know I am going out on a limb here, but it is the issue of prayers many have offered. My Mother was religious. I am not. I don't belittle any offer of prayer for her, I know it is a sincere belief and offered because people genuinely are concerned. For me, the idea that you all were just thinking about us in her last days made it better for me."
Can anyone offer any other advice? Should I ask for debate? Or if someone responds in a religious way should explain from there?
I live in California, so many of my friends are tolerant and already know I'm a non-theist.
Thanks for any help

You also don't want to sound like a dick.
These people are offering condolences in the best way they know how. You shouldn't make a big issue of it. However, when you thank them, you can remind them that life is short, and they can honor your mom's memory by asking them spending some quality time with their own loved ones.
Jim AKA Gregor_Samsa
Hi Mark-
First off, my condolences to you on the death of your mother. Your description of her was lovely. I hope your fond memories of her will be of comfort to you today, and always.
I am not sure what your motives are for including this in your thank you note. I am going to guess that you have been bombarded with offers of prayers from people who are saddened by your loss. Perhaps these people are grieving as well, if they knew your mother. If it is really important to you that something about prayer be included, I thought Jennifer's advice was spot on. Before including anything, however, I would consider what benefit it would bring you (and the receivers of the note) to have this sentiment attached to a thank you. If you can't see any, it might be better to just skip it.
Thank you all, I don't think I will include it at this time, I think if it comes up in the course of conversation in person, I will explain my position. I don't know if I gain anything by including it in a thank you.
Susan, do you think it sounded dickish? I think it would be better for me to convey it in person, so the dick factor isn't apparent.
Jennifer, I think "issue" most likely would sound adversarial, thanks.
Thanks Gregor, will do.
Thanks Annie, I've taken your response into account, too and will let it roll. There were many people who said they would pray for her and my family. I guess writing it down will suffice.
I do have to tell short story about her funeral. My oldest brother is a rapture Christian. Jesus is coming soon, probably 5 years, as he said 10 years ago.
Anyway, my other brother is an atheist so I handled the party afterward, my brother handled flowers and other things. We agreed my Christian brother would handle the pastor, since my Mom was religious.
Id din't want it to be a recruitment moment as is the case at too many funerals, but everything came so fast I never conveyed that to my brother.
Well everything went fine, moderately religious passages, sedate for all purposes. Many people stood up and told great stories and how much my mother meant to them, she was just a fun and great friend to many. I could only wish when I go, shared stories like hers happen at my funeral. It was simply amazing.
Until the final bit. The Pastor stood up to tell one last story so all the grandchildren will know where "Gooma" (her nickname" is. He called it the story of heaven. I thought, ok easy boy, he started telling about "the first historical record, the story of Adam and Eve." He then proceeded to get into Genesis, the snake, the apple, etc. I thought he was going to start getting into the begats.
We were running late because so many people stood put to tell their stories about my Mother, my favorite being as told by one of the teachers at the school she worked at, "she was so much fun, especially the time she rested hand on the steel support pole and did stripper spin around the pole as she was talking."
Back to the pastor, I gave him the "roll it up" finger roll, because he seriously sounded like the begats were coming. He did roll it up after about another minute, though, but did give me a "funny" look.
Thanks so much for your input!! I appreciate it.
I love the juxtaposition of the creation story and your mom pretending to be doing a pole dance. She sounds like she lived her life well, and for that, congratulations are in order.
I have found that in my own life, I rarely regret holding my tongue in situations like these, but often regret speaking up. I do, however, spend a great deal of time trying to come up with a pithy response to the lady at the grocer's who wishes me a "blessed day" every time I shop, or the people who offer to pray for me. Right now, I just smile and go on my way.
I love the tradition of telling stories about the deceased at a funeral. It brings much more humanity to the event than anything a preacher could possibly say.
Oh I forgot to mention, in the middle of the Pastor's Story of Heaven story, my 12 year old son leaned over and said, "This is creepy!". The thing the Pastor doesn't understand is kid's can handle reality very well, no mythological comfort is necessary. My son, at 12, knows that we all know we have this one life we have and he wants to make the best of it.
I'm amazed the things he comes up with and the questions he asks.
That sounds good to me, Mark.

Apple Prepares to Go Big (Screen)
Apple is finally preparing to go big.
Smartphones screens have been growing steadily, but Apple has taken a more conservative approach, not rushing in with bigger displays. It has emphasized the importance of a screen that can be manipulated with one hand and stayed with the 4-inch display – seemingly Lilliputian when compared to Samsung's 5-inch Galaxy S4 and 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 – in its latest iPhone 5S and 5C.
Now, Apple is working on two new iPhones with larger displays, according to people familiar with the matter. It is looking at one model that's larger than 4.5-inches, measured diagonally, and a second version that is greater than 5-inches, these people said.

Mitch Daniels's ObamaCare Problem
That's the title of my latest column at National Review Online. An excerpt:
Mitt Romney isn't the only Republican presidential hopeful with an Obamacare problem: Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, were he to become the GOP's nominee, could also undermine the repeal campaign that has united the party's base and independent voters.
Among his liabilities:
Daniels's decision to accept Obamacare funds and move forward with implementation is further undermining the repeal effort. Yesterday, federal judge Roger Vinson reversed his initial order forbidding the Obama administration to implement the law. He did so in part because plaintiff states such as Indiana are implementing it, which he said "undercut" their own argument that he should block it.
But all is not lost for Daniels.
Daniels can spare himself and the repeal movement such setbacks by following the lead of Florida governor Rick Scott (R.) and Alaska governor Sean Parnell (R.) and flatly refusing to implement any aspect of Obamacare. Daniels could even organize another letter in which his fellow governors all make the same announcement.
A move like that could separate him from the pack.

(in category theory/type theory/computer science)
of all homotopy types
of (-1)-truncated types/h-propositions
For any category, there is a functor
from the arrow category that sends each morphism to its codomain .
This functor is always an opfibration. It corresponds under the Grothendieck construction to the pseudofunctor
that sends each object to the overcategory .
If has all pullbacks, then the functor is in addition a fibration, hence a bifibration. Traditionally, though, its fibered aspect is emphasised (and it even motivates the notion of cartesianess for categories over categories). A right adjoint of exists for every morphism in iff C is a locally cartesian closed category.
This functor is called the codomain fibration of .
Some say basic fibration or self-indexing or the fundamental fibration — anything with so many names must be important!
If instead of the codomain the domain is used, one obtains the dual notion: domain opfibration.
We spell out the details of the functor, of its cartesian and opcartesian morphisms and their properties.
Recall from the discussion at arrow category that the objects in are morphisms in and the morphisms in are the commutative squares in of the form
with the obvious composition.
The functor is given on objects by the codomain (= target) map, and on morphisms it gives the lower arrow of the commutative square.
If we write for the arrow category, where is the interval category , then this functor is the hom-functor applied to the inclusion
That the functor is an opfibration means that for each object of , each morphism in has a lift to a morphism
in that is a opcartesian morphism.
Such a lift is given by
For given any commuting triangle
in , and any lift
of , there is the unique lift
such that
If has pullbacks, then is in addition a fibered category in the sense of Grothendieck:
for every object in , the cartesian lift of a morphism in is given by the morphism
Because for
any commuting triangle in , and for
any lift of in , which by the commutativity of the triangle we may write as
there is, precisely by the universal property of the pullback, a unique morphism, in such that this factors as
Recall that in an opfibration , the direct image of an object along a morphism is the codomain of the opcartesian lift of .
By the above discussion this means that in the codomain opfibration the direct image of an object in along some morphism is the composite morphism in , regarded as an object in : this yields the functor
of overcategories obained by postcomposition with .
Recall that in an fibration , the inverse image of an object along a morphism is the domain of the cartesian lift of .
By the above discussion this means that in the codomain fibration the inverse image of an object in along some morphism is the morphism out of the pullback in , regarded as an object in : this yields the functor
of overcategories obained by pullback.
For every morphism in , the direct and inverse image functors are a pair of adjoint functors
with left adjoint and right adjoint, .
By the above discussion, the adjunction isomorphism
is given by the universal property of the pullback operation, which says that morphisms
factor uniquely through the pullback
and hence uniquely correspond to morphisms
If is a model category, and a morphism in , we can consider the induced model structure on the overcategories , and . The adjoint pair
is then a Quillen pair.
Since the codomain fibration is a bifibration when has all pullbacks, there is a notion of monadic descent in this case. Details on this are at monadic descent for codomain fibrations.
We discuss the codomain fibration in higher category theory.
A categorification in dimension 2 (see 2-category theory) is a codomain 2-fibration, whose main example is over .
Mike Shulman: I still don't believe that that is a 2-fibration. How do you lift the 2-cells?
David Roberts: How does one lift the 2-cells in a 2-fibration anyway? The case of (using weak 2-functors in ) should in my opinion be an guiding example for this. Although, perhaps it would be better to consider (at least at first) the underlying (2,1)-category or even the (2,1)-category .
Mike Shulman: I think the guiding example of a 2-fibration should actually be , as in Hermida's paper. There, you can lift the 2-cells, because in each fibration you can lift the 1-cells.
Let be an (∞,1)-category.
The codomain fibration
is an coCartesian fibration.
It is classified under the (∞,1)-Grothendieck construction by
where on the right we have the over-(∞,1)-category.
This is a special case of (Lurie, corollary 220.127.116.11).
For an (∞,1)-topos, this is the canonical (infinity,2)-sheaf.
an (∞,1)-topos the codomain fibration is the dependent sum
where is the object classifier, of some size. This is the internal universe. Since the slice (∞,1)-topos is the context given by , in a precise sense is the "context of the universe". And so this says that the codomain fibration is the "context of the universe" regarded over the base -topos which is the "outermost universe".

Tina Baughman wanted to take her daughter on a trip to Disneyland for her eighth birthday. But there was a problem: Baughman suffers from limb girdle muscular dystrophy, which makes it hard for her walk or stand up from a seated position. She contacted Disneyland in advance and asked for permission to use a Segway. Disneyland said no. It told her to use a wheelchair or motorized scooter — which Baughman says does not work for her.
Baughman sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act, charging disability discrimination, and last week a federal appeals court took her side. "Technological advances didn't end with the powered wheelchair," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit said — and it ordered Disneyland to reconsider its decision. As the court said in the first line of its opinion: "Segways at Disneyland? Could happen."
(MORE: Got $488? That will cover one day's admission to Disneyland for a family of four)
The ruling sends an important message. The ADA — which requires employers and public facilities to take reasonable measures to accommodate people with disabilities — was passed with great hoopla and bipartisan support in 1990. But employers and major institutions decline all the time to make accommodations for the disabled — even, as in the Disneyland case, when it would be easy to do the right thing.
The ADA was a civil rights milestone when it was enacted — Edward Kennedy described it as "an emancipation proclamation for people with disabilities." Until then, disabled people had few legal weapons for challenging policies that excluded them from jobs and public facilities. But the ADA rewrote the legal landscape: suddenly, equal access was a national commitment, and the burden was on institutions and people who dealt with disabled people to make "reasonable accommodations" for their different abilities.
Baughman's request to Disneyland was precisely the sort the ADA was intended to help with. She was not making unreasonable demands for the park to completely change how it operates. She was just asking, in advance, if she could ride a device that people ride safely in public all of the time. Forty-four states and the District of Columbia have laws authorizing the use of Segways.
(MORE: Ew, Boys: The Brewing Legal Battle Over Same Sex Education)
Disney invoked its policy of barring all two-wheeled vehicles, which includes bicycles and Segways. In court, it argued that since Baughman could access the park using a wheelchair or a motorized scooter a Segway was not strictly necessary for her to use the park – it was not their problem if her visit was made "uncomfortable or difficult." But the Court of Appeals rightly pointed out that if the ADA were read to require only accommodations that are strictly necessary, it would not require many accommodations at all. After all, the court said, a paraplegic could drag himself up the steps of a courthouse, so installing a ramp would not strictly speaking be necessary.
Baughman's suit hardly makes for the sort of publicity that image-conscious Disney is looking for. Disney, however, is also known for a commitment to conformity. It was only this year that Disney ended a 60-year policy barring its theme park employees from sporting beards — though they can still be no longer than a quarter inch.
(PHOTOS: Meditations on the Disabled Body)
Disney is hardly alone in digging in its heels on disability issues — even in this era of the ADA. Disabled people live with an enormous amount of inconvenience, pain and humiliation from unaccommodating companies, government entities and individuals. The court's reference to a disabled person dragging himself up the courthouse steps is — incredibly — a real example. Until the Supreme Court ruled against it by a 5–4 vote in 2004, Polk County, Tenn., forced a man with a broken pelvis and two legs in casts to get out of his wheelchair and crawl up the steps to attend court hearings that they decided to hold on the second floor. When he finally refused, he was arrested for missing his hearing.
It is not clear how the saga of Disneyland and the Segway will end. The Ninth Circuit has only ordered the amusement park to reconsider its policy — and held out the possibility that it could keep the ban if it could show that safety truly requires it. But it appears likely that Disney will ultimately have to yield on its Segway ban in Baughman's case, which would be a victory not only for her and her daughter but for any of us who may — whether we are expecting it or not — one day require a little accommodation.

Advanced Search
Police cannot secretly search suspects' computer hard drives over the Internet, a German court ruled Monday.
Police, however, still will be allowed to seize evidence from PCs when conducting searches in person.
Arguing that stealth searches were indispensable to investigating criminals and terrorists, Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, the country's top security official responsible for police, called on the government to seek swift changes in the law.
"It is indispensable for criminal investigators to be able to carry out online searches secretly and with a corresponding order from a judge," he said in a statement.
The decision came in response to a request by the Federal Prosecutor's Office, which had sought to use Trojan horse programs to investigate a possible terrorist group. Prosecutors argued the legal reasoning used to allow telephone surveillance and other electronic eavesdropping techniques should be applicable to gathering evidence over the Internet.
Although the decision produces difficulties in evidence collection, the prosecutor's office welcomed the decision, saying it clarified the issue. Officials there also called for legislation enabling the remote searches.
Members of the opposition Left Party and Free Democrats said the court's decision was a victory for civil liberties.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The load was carried for the second straight week by junior Kyle Smock and for the second straight week, the Adrian College football team won. This time the Bulldogs hit the road for the first time this season and defeated Wisconsin Lutheran by the final score of 31-23.
Smock carried 35 times for 110 yards and two touchdowns after rushing over 200 yards in last week's win against Defiance. Smock gave Adrian the lead with two first-quarter touchdowns from two yards with 6:35 left in the quarter and one-yard out with 3:26 left in the first.
Josh Stodola and Zach Shaw were a lethal pitch-and-catch combo for the Warriors connecting for three touchdowns on the afternoon. The first one covered 68 yards with 3:05 left in the first and cut the Adrian lead to 14-7.
Justin Hemm and Aaron Tenney also were on the same page as they accounted for two touchdowns on the day. Hemm hauled in a 24-yard scoring strike with 12:43 left in the second as Adrian scored touchdowns on three of their first four possessions.
Dustin Salliotte upped the lead to 24-7 at the 5:58 mark of the second and it looked like the Bulldogs would run away with a win. The Warriors had other ideas as they got a big break early in the third as a snap over Salliotte's head on a punt went into the end zone for a safety.
Stodola capped off a 6:33 drive which covered 61 yards after the free kick with a 17-yard scoring grab to cut the lead to 24-16 with 6:03 left in the third. Adrian had an answer however and Hemm caught a 43-yard touchdown pass from Tenney with 10:31 left in the game to give AC a 31-16 lead. The Warriors got the game back into a one-possession contest as Stodola's third touchdown grab covered 19 yards with 5:40 left in the game.
Adrian had to punt after a three-and-out, but Wisconsin Lutheran's Donavin Tucker fumbled on the third play of the next drive for the fourth turnover of the game for WLC. Adrian ran eight plays and converted two first downs to run out the clock.
Tenney finished 8-of-11 for 145 yards through the air. Hemm caught three passes for 76 yards. Charles Fleck led the defense with seven tackles and also had a fumble recovery and interception for 30 return yards. Kevin Kleine recorded six tackles and a sack for a loss of five yards. The Bulldogs are now 2-1 and will have a bye week next before beginning MIAA action on Sept. 29 at home against Hope College.

Two security researchers at a Black Hat security conference demonstrated how they were able to break into a Subaru Outback using a technique they call "war texting" in just a few hours, a revelation sure to warrant a mention in the REI customer newsletter.
The technique appears to apply to cars using a cell-based system for unlocking and remote start (like GM and Mercedes also use). The hackers established their own local GSM network and intercepted signals sent between the server/car to sniff out the passwords.
It's probably a minor threat to cars as the work required seems too great considering you'll still probably need a key to get the car to drive. The bigger threat exists if the "war texting" procedure is used to hack into other similarly controlled systems like traffic signals. Also, because it sounds like something tweens would be really good at.
Update: A tipster points out that the slides from their presentation (PDF) make it sound like the hack was done using an aftermarket system, which makes more sense given Subaru's lack of telematics.

"A rollicking modern-day version of the classic tragedy Oedipus Rex, this wickedly funny story will leave you in stitches. It has the cynicism of Tom Wolfe mixed with the absurdity of Carl Hiassen. The novel begins with a slow and dangerous seduction, and then picks up speed as each new character is introduced. Guterson fearlessly takes on contemporary societal themes as his novel builds to a thrill-ride climax. Highly recommended!"
— Jane, Eagle Harbor Book Company, Bainbridge Island, WA
A sweeping, propulsive, darkly humorous new novel by the best-selling author of Snow Falling on Cedars: a story of destiny, desire, and destruction that reimagines Sophocles's Oedipus Rex for our own era.
In Seattle in 1962, Walter Cousins, a mild-mannered actuary—"a guy who weighs risk for a living"—takes a risk of his own, and makes the biggest error of his life. He sleeps with Diane Burroughs, the sexy, not-quite-legal British au pair who's taking care of his children for the summer. Diane gets pregnant and leaves their baby on a doorstep, but not before turning the tables on Walter and setting in motion a tragedy of epic proportions. Their orphaned child, adopted by an adoring family and named Edward Aaron King, grows up to become a billionaire Internet tycoon and an international celebrity—the "King of Search"—who unknowingly, but inexorably, hurtles through life toward a fate he may have no power to shape.
An instant classic—David Guterson's most daring and dazzling novel yet—that brings a contemporary urgency to one of the greatest stories of all time.
"Guterson . . . retells one of the oldest stories we know in a way that makes you hang on every twist and turn. You know where you're going, but the trip is such a literary sightseer's delight that you still enjoy every minute of it. . . . Even as you know your final destination, the route Guterson uses will keep you entertained the whole way. The way he makes Ed-ipus finally see, peeling the layers back one at a time, is ingenious. Guterson is one of America's most talented novelists. This time, he has taken on a daunting task and succeeded. . . . [Ed King] should add to Guterson's already glittering reputation."
—Howard Owen, Fredericksburg.com
"Sweeping. . . Ed King, a reimagination of Sophocles' 'Oedipus Rex,' the Greek tale of patricide and incest, is grounded in spot-on morality tales of exceedingly normal people who are doing their best to struggle through their middle- and upper-middle-class existence. . . . We meet the characters of Ed King in ensemble fashion. While their stories—and the bonds that connect them—are the stuff of sometimes far-fetched fiction, their personalities and behavior are all too believable. These are people more or less just like us. . . . Guterson clearly has made his bet on nature, not nurture. What's bred in the bone guides each character in this well-told tale. [Guterson's] portraits of humanity are real, and exceedingly enjoyable to read."
—Adam Lashinsky, The San Francisco Chronicle
"It takes a lot of nerve and perhaps a special brand of madness to take on the classics, and it doesn't get more classic than the ancient Greek tragedies . . . especially when the play in question happens to be Sophocles' magnum opus Oedipus the King. Yet with his latest novel, Ed King, author David Guterson does what many might consider the unthinkable: brings Oedipus into the modern age. . . . It would be a shame to ruin all the twists and turns that Oedipus/Ed—who in Guterson's version becomes a celebrity billionaire through the power of the Internet—faces on his journey. Even for those who are well versed in Sophocles, Ed King is filled with plenty of surprises and sly homage to the original (as well as a few other Greek myths), and half the fun here is reveling in the sheer cheekiness of the narrative. Ed King is not a new story, yet Guterson has managed to infuse this novel with feelings of freshness, relevance and even believability that are sure to delight 21st-century readers. A special pleasure will be experienced by those who can appreciate how the old elements have been modernized. Oedipus may not have been Guterson's to begin with, but by the end, readers will have no doubts that Ed King is a creation entirely his own."
—Stephanie Harrison, BookPage
"The Greek gods ran a pitiless universe. David Guterson's brilliant new novel, Ed King, mirrors that world, but it sets the wheels in motion in 1960s Seattle, as it follows the city's transformation from a sleepy, self-satisfied city to a 21st-century tech powerhouse. Ambition and desire drive the plot (it must be said that there is a whole lot of sex in this book) along with the fundamental irony that the road to hell is often paved with good intentions. . . . Ed King is compulsively readable and witheringly funny. Guterson's narrative voice—by turns savage and sad, amused and outraged—becomes a kind of Greek chorus of one. From the self-reverential blather of liberals to the gaming industry's nihilistic love of violence to the winner-take-all world of software and search engines, Guterson skewers it all, as he tracks Ed's ascendancy to the top of the tech world as the 'King of Search.' He interweaves the story with enough mythological references to keep even the most ardent classicist entertained. The technological titans of Ed King, walled off in their estates and kingdoms, and privy to the best life that money can buy, strive and strain with little thought to where all their efforts might be headed. It forces the thought: what have all the technological achievements of Microsoft, Amazon, Apple wrought, when it comes to changing certain fundamental certainties of human nature? Ed believes the sky is the limit. Will [he] cheat death? Will he dodge the bullet of fate? In the world of Ed King, what brings the all-powerful 'King of Search' to his final reckoning will keep the reader enthralled until the final page of this transcendently dark and dazzling book."
—Mary Ann Gwinn, The Seattle Times
"For a while after I finished Ed King, I wondered: With cheap, easy, 24-hour access to humanity's weirdest, creepiest, freakiest behavior, do we need a reboot of the Oedipus myth? Guterson persuasively argues that the answer is yes. While his latest novel is indeed full of sex, Ed King stands at polar opposite to the sad line-crossings of pornography. Guterson has trucked with Ovid and Homer and dear old Mr. Sophocles to merrily smash taboos like crockery and bring into the 21st century the old story of a man who kills his father, marries his mother and becomes a god. Ed King is dense with Guterson's customary needle-sharp prose. Guterson even drove me to my Bullfinch's to track the allusions to his sources. Those old stories survived millennia because they tell us about the human condition. Brave writers like Guterson can renew them to observe that some things are taboo for good reason; go ahead and break them, but there's no avoiding the consequences."
—Anne Saker, Oregon Live
"In his daring novel, David Guterson reimagines Oedipus Rex in contemporary America. Unlike Oedipus in the original Greek drama, Ed is not royalty per se but the contemporary equivalent: a billionaire tech titan, 'the King of Search.' Born of a fling of a married man and a much-younger British au pair, baby Ed is left on a stranger's doorstep and soon adopted. Ed grows up handsome, intellectually gifted, and powered by a relentless self-confidence. The narrative runs briskly through decades and multiple points of view as Guterson carves a wry edge into Sophocles's tragedy about an abandoned baby who grows up to kill his father and marry his mother. When [Ed and his mother] meet by chance, the attraction is immediate and the implications horrifying, though not to the lustily oblivious couple. Guterson keeps the novel winningly good-natured and almost farcical, all the better to teach timeless lessons about hubris, ambition, and the consequences of long-ago sins."
—Karen Holt, O Magazine
"[In this] tale of mythic proportions. . . . readers watch in horror as three disparate lives hurtle toward their fate in this reimagining of the Oedipus myth. . . . [Guterson's] fans will likely clamor for this."
—Sally Bissell, Library Journal
"[An] engrossing, constantly twisting retelling of Oedipus Rex . . . darkly funny."
—The Huffington Post
"A retelling of Oedipus Rex for the information age [that is] more comedy than tragedy. Guterson maintains an enjoyably sharp edge to his humor that will keep readers hooked."
—Kirkus Review
"How would a modern man go about killing his father and marrying his mother, just like Sophocles' Oedipus? Guterson's vivid recreation . . . is a study in outsized avarice and arrogance. Exuberantly rambunctious, Guterson's bold pondering of the Greek classic is a fiendishly tantalizing romp."
—Carol Haggas, Booklist, starred review

Monica Zdrojewski won the fifth CWPA weekly award of her career (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After opening the season at the Iona Invitational Feb. 4, a trio of Harvard women's water polo players took home Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division awards. Devan Kennifer was named the Player of the Week, while Monica Zdrojewski and Victoria Frager were chosen as the Defensive Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week, respectively.
Kennifer helped the Crimson to a 1-1 record with nine goals, two assists and seven steals. In the opener, Harvard was led by Kennifer's seven goals and six steals as the Crimson mounted a furious comeback with six fourth quarter tallies before falling to Iona, 15-14. Harvard bounced back with a 13-1 win over Villanova after jumping out to a 9-0 lead through one period. The senior co-captain scored twice against the Wildcats and added an assist and steal to total nine goals, two assists and seven steals on the day. It is the third time Kennifer has won the player of the week honors in her career and is her fifth CWPA award overall.
Zdrojewski, a native of Laguna Niguel, Calif., contributed to the Crimson's defensive effort with four steals against Iona and another in the match with Villanova. With the senior's lead, Harvard matched its lowest goals against total since a 9-1 win over Utica March 8, 2008. Zdrojewski had won four previous CWPA weekly awards in her career, but this marked her first defensive player of the week honor.
Frager started her collegiate career with two goals, an assist and five steals during the opening day. The newcomer was most impressive against Villanova, tallying a pair of goals to go along with a team-high four steals.
Harvard travels to Princeton, N.J., Feb. 11-12 for four games at the Princeton Invitational.

Welcome once again to our annual "first look" at the broadcast networks' offerings for the 2010-2011 season. Each day we'll walk you through one of the new series set to premiere next season (or one that didn't make the cut) and go over our initial impressions after viewing the pilot. Keep in mind that a lot can change from what's being screened right now - recasting, reshooting, etc. - but we still want to give you a heads up on what you should (and shouldn't) keep on your radar in the coming months. So enough of our rambling, on with the show!
[IMPORTANT NOTE: The following is based on the original sales presentation which was screened to us privately or supplied by a third party NOT an informational, not-for-review screener provided by the network in question.]
(written by Casey Johnson & David Windsor; directed by Michael Fresco; TRT: 21:55)
The network's description: "Karen and Howard are just like any other couple lovingly raising their teenage son except they happen to live across the street from each other; Karen is remarried and Howard is gay. It Takes a Village is the comedy that proves that unconditional love can come in unconventional packages. Howard and Karen are devoted parents who raised their precocious, 15-year old son George in a protective bubble. That bubble burst big time, however, the day Karen and Howard got divorced and Howard came out of the closet. Now Karen and Howard live right across the street from each other; Karen is remarried to Carl, and everything's friendly. Right up until Howard invites his boyfriend Scott to move in.
Suddenly, George has four parents keeping an eye on him at all times and they're always in each other's business. That's kind of okay, though. When you're a teenage boy, having your parents divorce and your dad announce that he's gay, kind of stinks. But having four great, loving parents always looking out for you? That's pretty cool. In this single-camera comedy, up-and-coming writers Casey Johnson and David Windsor explore the intricate, sometimes delicate, and always-complicated dynamics of divorced family life."
What did they leave out? That really just about covers it.
The plot in a nutshell: Karen (Leah Remini) and Howard (Christopher Sieber) had the perfect marriage... until their divorce 16 years later. You see they had one small problem: it turns out Howard is gay. Now newly remarried to the Chicago Bears-obsessed plumber Carl (James Patrick Stuart, complete with dog named Dick Butkus), Karen has managed to rebuild her friendship with Howard, so much so that he even bought the house across the street from her. The reason: their son George (Zach Mills) is smack dab in the middle of his awkward teen years and needs all the guidance he can get. Unfortunately that guidance comes in the form of the same uncool, please-get-away-from-me package everyone's parents deliver it.
Fortunately there's one person who's willing to tell George the cold hard truth when it comes to growing up, Howard's boyfriend Scott (Cheyenne Jackson), whom Howard's just invited to move in. Said advice comes into play when the most popular girl in school, Alyssa (Haley King), asks George if she can come over and study, a move which Karen, Howard and George's best friend Chris (Gabriel Morales) immediately interpret as George's first date ("You're totally going to pork her," Chris declares). Scott conversely knows what's really going on: she, like all pretty girls who invite themselves over to geeky boys' houses in high school, is simply using him to copy his homework. Karen of course interprets Scott's guidance as a power play to take over the parenting reigns and resumes stealing things she lost in the divorce. Ultimately cooler heads prevail (it turns out George actually likes hearing the truth) and a ceasefire is declared between his newly extended family.
What works: Stuart's deadpan, cluelessly-hetero, happily hen-pecked Carl ("What's a chimichanga? Isn't that a type of dog?" or "Chicken with mole sauce? That sounds disgusting.") is fun and Mills's nebbish George has his moments ("Apparently [Scott says when I'm 17] I'm going to get more tail than Sinatra, whoever that is.") but...
What doesn't: ...they don't quite distract you from what's ultimately a flat, boilerplate show. Every cliched, stilted joke about being gay, divorced or being the byproduct of parents who are both are in full force here: Gay guys like "Dreamgirls" and don't think "Moulin Rouge" was over the top! (And wait for it... don't know anything about sports!) It turns out straight guys actually like boobs! And geeky teens make awkward jokes about prime numbers in front of pretty girls! Throw in some needless narration (Remini's Karen states the obvious in voiceover at the top and end of the show) and an annoyingly chirpy theme under each scene and that's more or less it. At the end of the day while seeing Remini return to the small screen would be nice - and finding solid showcases for folks like Stuart and Jackson even better - this one...
The bottom line: ...is best left on the shelf.
