Major changes to routes and timetables were made in late 2015, with further changes from March 6 and April 17, 2016. Summer timetables were introduced on June 12, and from July 17 there are further frequency enhancements and some new routes (see under Timetables below). The 2-page route-by-route summary timetable has been updated to show the changes from April 17, 2016, as has the detailed timetable of services from Bugibba and Qawra, but do not yet show the enhanced summer schedules. The maps have been updated to show the March 6 and April 17 changes but not the new routes from July 17. See further down this page for links.
Welcome to Maltabybus.com
Exploring Malta and Gozo by public transport can be fun and rewarding, if a little fraught at times. You could just hop on a bus and see what happens. On the other hand, if you want to arm yourself with some information and maybe do some pre-planning, this is the website for you. I can't promise that the information will always be 100% accurate or up to date - sat here in the UK it's not always easy to find out what's going on. I will, however, do my best, and I trust you will have a great holiday on these fascinating islands.
If you were expecting the quirky old buses that you may have heard about and seen in guidebooks, they were swept away overnight in July 2011 and replaced with modern buses on a completely new network. Sad for the bus enthusiasts but maybe not for the residents. Things did not go well for the new operator, Arriva, and they pulled out at the end of 2013. Malta Public Transport was formed, initailly run by the Government. From January 2015 a Spanish company called Autobuses Urbanos de León took over the running of the company. A new light green and white livery has been introduced to replace the blue and white colours. Routes and timetables were initially unchanged, but a new network was introduced in 2015: Gozo routes from June 21 and Malta routes in two phases from November 22 and December 20. Several enhancements to the network have since been made.
My name's Brendan, by the way, and you can find my contact details hidden away somewhere on my Globe Studios website (well, I wouldn't want to be inundated with emails now, would I). As well as this section aimed at visitors to Malta, you will find further pages aimed at enthusiasts and those interested in the history of bus services in Malta.
The Bus Network
For such a small island, there are a large number of bus routes, and you are never very far from a bus stop. Frequencies are good on the main routes, but less so on other routes, and it often pays to check timetables. You can find more about timetables further down this page.
There is some logic to the route numbering system. One and two digit numbers, that is numbers in the series 1-99, run to and from Valletta bus station, and run roughly in geographical order in an anti-clockwise direction around Valletta. Route X4 is a limited stop service linking Valletta with the Airport and beyond, whilst X1 to X3 link the Airport with Cirkewwa, Sliema and Bugibba respectively. Numbers in the 100s and 200s are generally routes not serving Valletta (but see exceptions below). In summer there are some additional Tallinja Direct routes prefixed TD which were introduced in July 2016 - these parallel popular routes but run direct to the destination. All Gozo bus services are numbered in the 300s. Finally, the network of Night Routes linking various parts of Malta with the bars, clubs and restaurants of San Giljan (the stop formerly known as Paceville) are numbered in the N series; in winter the night routes run on Friday and Saturday nights only.
There are a few exceptions to the rule: Valletta local routes are numbered 130 and 133, whilst route 122 runs from Valletta to Mater Dei Hospital. Also, to confuse matters further, three routes in the 2xx series which used to terminate at Mater Dei Hospital have been extended through to Valletta.
Tripadvisor has a well researched article on bus services in Malta which includes the latest changes and lists the bus services serving the main attractions.
Fares and Tickets
A completely new fare system was introduced from July 1st, 2015. Visitors to Malta have three options: (1) use cash to buy single tickets from the driver; (2) save money by buying a 12-journey card from a kiosk; or (3) buy a 7-day ticket from a kiosk. A fourth option is the tallinja smartcard which is aimed at residents but may also benefit regular or long-term visitors.
The only ticket available from the bus driver is the two-hour single ticket which costs 2.00 in summer (mid-June to mid-October), reduced to 1.50 in winter. Routes prefixed TD (Tallinja Direct) are faster summer services which have a single fare of 2.50. On night buses (routes prefixed by N) the single fare is 3.00. There are no discounts for children except that children aged under 4 years travel free. Passengers are encouraged to have the correct amount of money for the fare if possible.
Passengers may change buses within the two hour period to get to their destination as part of a one-way journey. According to the small print, the ticket does not allow you to make a return trip, even if wholly within the two hour period. Also, with the single ticket you are not allowed to continue your journey later on the same route, even if within the two hours.
Also available is a card giving 12 single tickets for 15, making 1.25 per journey. It has to be purchased in advance (see below) in the form of a non-personalised tallinja card and each passenger swipes the card on the card reader on entering the bus. It can be used by more than one person for the same journey (swipe the card twice if there are two of you). On night buses (routes prefixed by N) you have to pay double, so two journeys will be taken off the card.
A 7-day unlimited travel Explore Card is also available costing 21 (children aged 4-10 pay 15). Unlike the previous 7-day ticket it is valid in Gozo as well as Malta, and is also valid on TD (Tallinja Direct) services and night buses at no extra charge. You buy it in advance and swipe the card on each bus journey.You can buy the 12-journey and 7-day tickets from kiosks located at Valletta bus station, Bugibba bus station, Malta International Airport, Sliema Ferries, Mater Dei Hospital, and the Gozo bus terminus at Victoria bus station. Some hotels may also be selling the 7-day ticket. Penalty fares are payable if you travel without a valid ticket.
Local residents have been encouraged to obtain the new tallinja smartcard (see the Malta Public Transport website for further details). Tallinja is a personalised stored-value card which basically allows the named cardholder to make each single journey (within two hours) for 75c, or 2.50 for a night journey (card holders pay 2.00 on the new Tallinja Direct services). A monthly version costs 26 (there is also an automatic cap so nobody pays more than 26 per month). There are further discounts for senior citizens, students and children. There was no initial charge for the card in 2015, but from January 2016 there is a 5 admin charge, and a minimum top-up amount of 20. Non-residents can apply for a card giving a foreign address (or a hotel address), but two weeks must be allowed for delivery and there is a 6 postage charge to addresses outside Malta. A photo is required. Only frequent or long-term visitors would benefit from obtaining a card.
Maps of Bus Routes
PRINCIPAL ROUTES of interest to tourists are shown on this nice independently produced map (not my map but linked with permission).
The official map is on the MPT website. There are also buttons to download high-res or low-res pdf versions.
For those requiring more detail I have produced the following maps in pdf format. They include the changes from 17 April 2016 as well as the March changes.
MAP 1 (April 2016) - Valletta routes. Bus routes linking areas of Malta with Valletta.
MAP 1A (April 2016) - Valletta routes: Central area. An enlargement of the central area of Map 1 showing routes to/from Valletta.
MAP 2 (April 2016) - Other routes (those not serving Valletta): to and from Sliema, Airport, Hospital, University etc, also local routes.
MAP 2A (April 2016) - Other routes: Central area. An enlargement of the central area of Map 2 (routes not serving Valletta).
GOZO - includes a general frequency guide.

Bus Timetables
From Sunday July 17th 2016 there are enhanced frequencies on several routes for the summer - details are here on the MPT website. These changes include some additional routes and six direct Tallinja Direct routes prefixed TD for which higher fares are payable (see under Fares and Tickets above). The new timetables and routes are not yet reflected in the timetables on this site (but are mostly available on the official MPT website).
The previous tranche of changes to timetables and routes took place from April 17, 2016 and are listed here on the MPT website.
Specially prepared for this website are the following timetables in pdf format:
TIMETABLE SUMMARY: Routes 1 to 81, Routes 82 to 280 and X1 to X4
Shows departure times route by route, from each end of the route. Designed to be used in conjunction with the maps. Incorporates the various changes from April 17, 2016, as well as those from March 6 when the University routes were extended to both start and finish at the 'Sptar' stops at the main entrance to Mater Dei Hospital.
BUGIBBA AND QAWRA: Page 1, Page 2
Detailed timings for all routes serving Bugibba and Qawra. Updated to show revised times for routes X3 and 186 from April 17, 2016.
GOZO: Page 1, Page 2.
Detailed timings for all routes on Gozo. Dated February 2016 but still valid as at late April.
Temporary Diversions
The nature of the road network is such that bus routes are frequently diverted because of roadworks or special events, sometimes for a few hours, sometimes for weeks or months. It is beyond the scope of this website to mention all but the longest term diversions. You can often find details online on the official news website of Transport Malta.
I couldn't do this without the masses of information produced by the enthusiast fraternity on various web forums and in the magazine MTN. You know who you are! I am also grateful to the bus operators and also individual bus owners and drivers who, in the ATP days, helped to expand my knowledge of what was then a poorly documented subject.
Malta by Bus is an unofficial website provided by transport enthusiast Brendan Fox of Peterborough, United Kingdom. All information is given in good faith but no guarantees can be given for accuracy. I have no links with any bus operator or the Maltese government. All photos are by Brendan Fox unless otherwise stated. The bus badges in the logo are from a photo by Karen Dexter.

RE:>>I enjoy this pursuit of knowledge. A constant sifting of the wheat from
the chaff.
Hi Marvin,
Your posting brings to mind some of the joys and frustrations that I have had in
my 17+ years
of providing technical support services to accounting systems clients. If
owners of businesses
had any idea how much of the cost of a software system is due to the need to
provide input masks
to keep data clean it would absolutely floor them. Of course, we've have fields
for years that prevent string input into a numeric field, but you can't believe
what garbage people will put into a unique index key and then want you to fix it
after the damage has been done, and telegraphed throughout the system. I've
seen invoice numbers (an alpha numeric field) of 000000, or --X001, or 56 123
(that's a space in the second position) and then they wonder why they can't find
these orders/invoices.
One of the reasons that I respect your efforts, and those of W. George Schmid's
so much, is because of the attention to detail. Not that there aren't loads of
other folks who make great contributions in other ways, because there most
certainly are. (I try to provide them accolades, too, from time to time and
rightfully so). However, when I get my hands on a new "Lemke's Master List"
each year, somehow I just feel a calm come over me from having access to the
best of the best. If I want to know whether it's H. 'Allen P. McConnell' or H.
'Allan P. McConnell', then I just go to my Lemke's Master List. Allan would
like that you help keep his name straight.
It is comforting that you are there, "sifting the wheat from the chaff".
826 and counting? Why you rascal! And you know where each and everyone is
located!!! You are indeed an awesome human being and if you were to give a
class on database administration, you'd have God himself taking notes. (or is
that "herself"?) :-)

We knew everything about Madrak3 by now. Where is our sweet sweet Feora3 spoilers
Spoiler: She's fire themed.
I own three Mules, and if you asked me if I would buy a fourth, I could not honestly say that I would not ever do so. Do I need to see a doctor?
Things are changing given what some of us like to call COIN Dev instead of CID.
As enigmatic as excitable.
It clearly means she has Coins to spend like Damiano and Rock Bottom. Finally Menoth is learning the value of gold.
Community Integrated Development
As enigmatic as excitable.
That isn't as exciting as just saying she has Coins
blog! (Not Warmachine related, but I'm not ashamed of the plug)
As I said, some of us like to call it COIN Dev for short. Some like CID. We haven't officially decided.
As to stats in books: After Command Books, starting with the new faction (if memory serves) because a lot of things already had to go to print.
As enigmatic as excitable.
I assume the distributors that were leaking info were politely asked to stop
Currently painting: Every Troll there is, and maybe some Mercs
blog! (Not Warmachine related, but I'm not ashamed of the plug)
chain attack just put spoilers on their FB page
Ahh, indeed that's likely the case.
I was reading as:
"We're still making updates to Feora3 due to COIN Dev, but COIN Dev isn't being implemented until after the command books" whereas I think you were saying generally that spoilers are going to follow a bit of a different model going forward.
So with the spoilers out (assuming they are accurate) F3ora looks good, but nothing over the top and EoT looks amazing. So much so that Avatar got moved from the bench to the clubhouse. Poor Avatar RIP.

Welcome to the Faculty for the Psychology of Older People (FPOP, also known as PSIGE)
The Faculty of the Psychology of Older People provides a forum for psychologists with an interest in work with older people.
Established in 1980, this group is a faculty of the Division of Clinical Psychology (DCP) within the British Psychological Society (BPS).
It works to encourage the exchange of information, ideas and expertise about psychological approaches with older people.
It is a national group with members throughout the UK. Although primarily for Psychologists, membership is open to individuals from other disciplines and voluntary groups who share an interest in work with older people.
The Faculty of the Psychology of Older People's aims are as follows:


text:
I have to keep moving forward, regardless of what any doctor may say or any health official or anyone in the field. It seems I get yet more and more bad news and yet I am the furthest thing from a hypochondriac (in fact, I'm not even clear on how to spell the bloody word) and yet, I seem to bring with me a plague of illness ever since I was a young child.
For the most part, I have made my peace with epilepsy. I won't bother it if it won't bother me, though it certainly made its presence known in April when it caused seven or so hours of back-to-back grand mal seizures, which I may have written about here (or perhaps not, I can't recall). All I recall of that day is the morning when I approached my husband to tell him that a "big tidal wave was coming."
He of course reassured me that this was not so, yet part of me must have been prescient, knowing that some impending disaster was about to happen, because not a half an hour later, I made my way about half-way across the living room's wooden floor before thinking "gravity is soooo heavy" and then falling.
I remember the hard slap of it. How I could not even put out my hands, and then everything went black. The rest of the day is in snapshots only, when I would regain consciousness for a moment or two, then fall back into the restless and blue slumber of the brain as it hisses and crackles.
For example, I recall a fireman's red suspender and recall thinking "safe" because I knew that help had arrived. I remember being wheeled into the E.R. screaming "No, no, no," like a little kid who had lost her way and was terrified, which essentially I was.
As to the rest of that day, I recall nothing except waking up for a while in a room where they were gluing electrodes to my head (for the second time apparently) and were in the process of admitting me to the hospital for a proper stay. You don't have status epilepticus (seizures followed by seizures) and then walk out and go home and say, "What a bitch of a day." It's never so simple.
What I remember is that I did not remember. I did not remember my own name. I did not recognize my husband. I did not know anything about the modern age (president, my address, where I was – the usual stuff they ask). In fact, the only thing I remembered was the year of my birth, and so because of this, whenever the doctor asked me a question I told them the year of my birth. The first time I said it got such a hurrah reaction that I must have determined that this was the "right" answer for each question (obviously I was wrong).
To be fair, I did say of my husband that he "looked like a nice guy" and since I couldn't go into the bathroom alone and wouldn't let a nurse come, I chose him to which the nurse responded, "But you don't know him." "Yes," I told her, "but he seems nice" and then the door closed and I made him turn around while I peed. Somewhere in the coiled labyrinths of my brain I must have remembered some intimacy with this complete stranger, otherwise, why let him in?
It took a while for my memory to come back and it came back slowly. I remember seeing Johnny Cash on television in the hospital and knowing that I knew him but not his name.
But that's epilepsy. That's just something I live with and you manage because you don't have a choice. Cancer was a different thing entirely and I don't feel like going down that long and boring and painful road because if a freckle can turn into something that could kill me (melanoma) then I can't think about this because I have literally thousands of freckles that could, at any time, turn "bad" and since I cannot control this, I cannot think about this anymore. It has come and come back and gone and then come back again and for as much as I want to kick and shout about it, it is true that it could be worse and IS worse for so many people – so who the hell am I to complain? Pain is a relative consideration, and my pain, which was really painful, could always get worse. Just when you think things can't get worse, they do.
Now, I find that one of the medications I have to take has caused my thyroid function to fly off the charts and that yet a new doctor is added to the mix. It's not that I mind or that I feel sorry for myself; it's that it is another detail of my life to manage, and frankly, there are enough details to manage as it is without this. I barely keep control of all of the medications now (they live in a large Tupperware box, absurdly large) and want more than anything to just stop taking them, if I could, but I can't, and that is my reality.
I'm not sure where I am going with this other than to say that if you do have your health then value that. Then get outdoors in the sun (because I can't) and soak it up and yes, be careful if you are fair as I am but otherwise, just live your life. These days, I feel like the youngest shut-in ever. I remember having to learn how to change my own IV and administer the medication through the IV and snap and tap the oxygen out of the line because one oxygen bubble could kill you. Thank god those days are over and I am free to walk – to walk – no wheelchair, no IV, nothing; rien.
So it is then that I am about to reluctantly ring another doctor and introduce him or her into my life. That I must do this because it is what is required for me to stay on the other medication that prevents me from having those brain storms all blue-flash lightning and cool-electric gas; that prevent me from lighting up like an electric shaman dressed in a coat of mirrors as I travel down the Witness Tree. This is what we must prevent, even though in some cultures it is nurtured and valued. That the village shaman, often or most often epileptic, is revered and not disdained or misunderstood or, as used to be, confined to a mental institution because some idiot muddled up epilepsy with a mental disorder when really, it's a neurological disorder but no matter – anyone different just shove 'em all in the same hole because it's there and it's deep enough.
Still, despite social stigma, despite the risk of status, despite my absurdly high thyroid function, I must move forward and keep reminding myself that this is not as bad as it gets. That I've seen worse in friends who have died from far worse conditions, and that for the most part, I am functioning and fortunate. I can do so much that they could not.
Not too long ago, and I'll end here because it only bears out my point, I was having an IM chat with a so-called friend in Paris when I began to have absence or petit mal seizures. I did not collapse or convulse, but these are seizures. Letters refused to line up and make sense; I tried as hard as I could to type EPILEPSY, but when I did, it came out like gobbledy gook. Not at all what I expected. He typed one word with a row of question marks. It was: "Drugs??????????"
This is how ignorant so many people are and this from someone who called himself a friend (obviously not and not someone I have any interaction with anymore – I see no point because I see no future with someone that presumptuous). That anyone who would assume that of me simply doesn't know me. It's not the first time I've heard it, but I admit it hurt more because I had overvalued this person. I remember being in Provincetown years ago, and while there, I had a grand mal seizure in a restaurant. All I remember is saying, "We have to go…" and then trying to stand and again, fighting gravity that would win out any day.
The ambulance kindly drove us back to our little shack on the beach and wished us good night (I had refused hospital treatment since I then felt fine now that the convulsions had stopped). The next day, as we were leaving, the old woman who ran the place told my friends that "she shouldn't do so many drugs and alcohol – that's what happens!" practically wagging her finger at me as we drove away.
I'll never forget that. It was the first time I realized I had a stigma attached to me. I was wearing my boyfriend's striped oxford and a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses. I turned away and looked out the window of the Lincoln Town Car and knew that things would never be the same again.

Economic partnership agreements and the export competitiveness of Africa
Trade can be a key driver of growth for African countries, as it has been for those countries, particularly in East Asia, that have experienced high and sustained rates of growth. Economic partnership agreements with the European Union could be instrumental in a competitiveness framework, but to do so they would have to be designed carefully in a way that supports integration into the global economy and is consistent with national development strategies. Interim agreements have focused on reciprocal tariff removal and less restrictive rules of origin. To be fully effective, economic partnership agreements will have to address constraints to regional integration, including both tariff and non-tariff barriers; improve trade facilitation; and define appropriate most favored nation services liberalization. At the same time, African countries will need to reduce external tariff peak barriers on a most favored nation basis to ensure that when preferences for the European Union are implemented after transitional periods, they do not lead to substantial losses from trade diversion. This entails an ambitious agenda of policy reform that must be backed up by development assistance in the form of"aid for trade."

I realize we're a week off from the finale, but now's as good a time as ever to ask the tough question: What is missing from this damn season of So You Think You Can Dance? I still say SYTYCD is the greatest reality-competition on TV; I still say it's an explosive That's Entertainment!-type spectacle every week; and I still believe Mary Murphy's hair and face are the same dynamite color that I'm calling This-Ranch-Hand's-Been-Dead-For-Days Orange, but season 10 manages to fall short as addictive television.
Strange considering the choreography still rules, the judging is 100% fantastic if you disqualify Carly Rae Jepsen's appearance (Thank you to this week's guest-judge Jesse Tyler Ferguson for that scathing, hilarious aside about her failed guest stint, and the talent level is impossibly high. Why aren't we impossibly high?)
For me, the problem is that the dancers don't actually appear to be having much fun, and they don't feel particularly obligated to emanate star quality. They're working their asses off, but last season's Cole Horibe interjected some goofiness into his discipline. His co-contestant Witney Carson lived to be saucy on that stage. This season, Jasmine Harper's work is equally astounding — and her unthinkable leg extensions are architectural wonders — but I'm not detecting a personal sense of ebullience.
Even Amy Yakima, with her mile-wide smiles and ferocious contortions, feels merely peppy, not exuberant. Aaron and Fik-Shun are mega talents, but their unending cheer seems more coached than organic. All I'm saying is it's hard to root for any one dancer when they're all equally focused and satisfied with technical precision over X-factor magnetism. Bring me some Madonna-on-Bandstand carnality! Some Benatar shoulder shrugs! Some hungriness!
Which is not to say our six finalists didn't bring it. They sure did. But I'm torn when it comes to picking my personal favorite and electing one of these kids the new Rhythm Nation dictator. Here's a rundown of the nine partner routines.
Paul and Kathryn: All Kathryn's Jazz!
A solid show-starter, and not just because all-star Kathryn began it wearing a gigantic stiltwalker "dress" (which was actually just a clever, ladder-draped illusion): The energy of this dance was relentless and fun, with both Paul and Kathryn thrusting around in a way that suggested "mating season at the Kit Kat Klub." Unfortunately, Paul's plasticine grins paled in comparison to Kathryn's vivacious sexuality, and my eyes were glued solely on her fearless mug throughout the routine.
Hayley and Joshua: I "Roar" For More
Downright bizarre that Hayley danced a boxing-themed hip-hop routine that really, really resembled Katy Perry's performance of "Roar" at the VMAs on Sunday. Same boxing ring, same triumphant fist-pumps, etc. Hayley even wore tight braids in the Katy style, and that made me fear that she was going to release a midtempo ballad that I can't believe anybody likes. Choreographers Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo alerted us beforehand this routine hinged on the "hardness" of the movements, and if we're being honest, Hayley couldn't deliver in that department. She's a beast, but not a knockout-dispensing hurricane when it comes to Evander Holyfield mimicry. If I had to compare her to a boxing icon, I'd go with Barbra Streisand in The Main Event. Joshua, meanwhile, riveted me with his pugilistic gall. Oscar de la Hell-yeah, or something.
Aaron and Melanie: Glisten Without Prejudice
For a Broadway routine, this was almost unassuming: Aaron and beloved champ Melanie cavorted and spun to George Michael's "Faith," matching that song's snap-along energy with breezy flair. They both beamed and shined in every one of the routine's big gestures, and even if the peppy shebang didn't add up to one of the night's more memorable routines, at least we were dealt a moment of unobjectionable fun. Melanie's strength and control of her limbs? Still sick, y'all.
Fik-Shun and Witney: It's Witney, B*tch
Ugh, cruel producers. They paired Fik-Shun, a ragtag b-boy who doesn't blink much, with the foxiest foxtrotter who ever foxed on Fox, Witney "Voluptuous Vulpine" Carson. I love Witney so damn much. Mary tried comparing her to Marilyn Monroe, but you and I both know Witney is a near-doppelganger for the more sinister Jayne Mansfield. With every one of Witney's spellbinding spins, I expected Mariska Hargitay to just fly out of her. Fik-Shun worked through the same problems with form he usually has, but he was no match for Witney's unflappable charisma and coolness. And that is a fak-t.
Jasmine and Neil: The UGHPossible Starring Naomi WHATs?
Bad news, everyone: This was dumb. Tyce Diorio gets a look in his eyes when he's explaining his choreography, like, "Everyone? Everyone? Gather 'round. I've figured out this world. And I'm going to illustrate my profound knowledge using a maudlin contemporary routine set to Colbie Caillat. Hold on tight, mortals." This week he used windblown garbage to illustrate a tsunami (slow clap), and Jasmine and Neil had to act like they were reenacting key scenes from The Impossible. And God, were they, because this was hopelessly overwrought. Step for step, Jasmine was flawless. And eye-popping in her extensions and strength, of course. But how can you root for a routine so designed to make a cry-happy Mary Murphy jolt to her feet in a senseless blaze of "emotion"?
Amy and Alex Wong: Bolly Good Fellows
You know what Bollywood routines look like, and this was one of those. Plenty of single-leg bopping, "screw in that light bulb" hand choreography, and sequined snazz. Hey! That's Bollywood! God, Alex Wong is gorgeous. His chest pulsed in that crazy vest like he was the naughtiest H&M employee ever. Amy gave us the toothy grins and sheer effort we expected. I'd have written this off as a successful, if unremarkable routine, but for some reason it ended with Alex rubbing Amy's feet, and that creeped me out. So, unremarkably snazzy and creepy.
Paul and Hayley: Aw, Softest Proclaimers Ever.
Yes, Paul and Hayley served up emotions and poetry and light in this routine curiously set to a ballad version of The Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" — but it's more important that we discuss Mary Murphy's reaction to the whole thing. Covered in tears and her typical butterscotch glaze, Mary cried out to the duo, "Is there anyone else hoping you'll become A COUPLE?" Now, the sentiment is fine enough, but on a show where none of the contestants get to divulge whether they're gay (or so it seems), maybe vocalizing a heterosexual fantasy about Hayley and Paul is a little ridiculous and groan-worthy. The fact that Jesse Tyler Ferguson announced he had a crush on Aaron was a pretty good antidote to this, thank God, but Mary: Maybe it's time to let the other Marys on this show choose their own destiny, OK?
Amy and Fik-Shun: Ushered Away
Am I nightmaring here, or did Amy and Fik-Shun suddenly have very little chemistry between them? This Usher-soundtracked jam required the two buds to bump off each other like dynamos, and I felt like I was just watching Amy attempt to "ratchet" up her flygirl routine while Fik-Shun strutted around her. I'm glad both of these cats are headed to the finale, but I'm hoping they get a bigger and cooler last hurrah than this next week.
Jasmine and Aaron: Silver Streak
Aaron has perhaps the most impassioned fanbase in this competition since he just oozes underdog status, but I thought this routine — like many this season — was all about Jasmine. Did you see that 270-degree roundhouse? The one where her right leg ended up parallel to her horizontal torso as she (ahem) stood on her left leg? I can't guarantee that Jasmine is the only female competitor able to contort that way, but it's certainly become a signature superpower of hers. As of now: I want both of these guys to win the whole show, but I suspect they'll have to put up a mighty, Tyson-sized fight (Sorry, Hayley!) to walk off with the prize.

|Problems accessing exception implicit object in error JSPs - Tomcat 4.0.2
|Wed, 20 Feb 2002 00:49:00 GMT
My apologies if this issue has been done to death, but I've done some searching on the archives but has not seen a definitive answer. We are using the "<error-page> <exception-type>" entries in the web.xml to direct all our web application exceptions to various error JSPs. This is working. These JSPs have the "<%@ page isErrorPage ="true" %>" directive set. In Tomcat 3.3a these pages have access to the "exception" implicit object. For the same webapp deployed in Tomcat 4.0.2 this variable is declared, but null. Is this a bug? In the interim we are getting access to the exception from the "javax.servlet.error.exception" request attribute. I also notice in the JSP 1.2 API that a "javax.servlet.jsp.jspException" request attribute may also be available. Which should I be using? Our apps are a collection of JSPs and servlets, roughly conforming to the model-2 architecture (if its still called that).

This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Removed inside panel in freezer compartment. Used blow dryer to melt collected ice on evaporator coil. Removed clips on bottom of defrost heater. Replaced with new defrost heater, re-attaching the clips. Replaced defrost Thermostat with new one. Re-attached inside panel. Now unit works just fine. Really easy job. Defrosting the collected ice took the longest to do.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
I defrosted the ice from the freezer coils with a blow dryer and then removed the back panel from the freezer and I change the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat, I believe that being I am a woman and not really knowing what I was doing, (only what I read on PartSelect) that it took me as long as it did...Once I realize what I had to do, it was over in a jiffy....So far the Refrig and Freezer seem to be working fine..
Remove bottom panel in freezer side to get access to the coil.Remove old heater element and defrost thermostat.Installed new hearter and thermostat.Screw back bottom panel re-start frige.
Cut wires and removed old thermosat. Spliced new thermostat wires into exsiting wire. Put it all back together. Works great now. Thanks for all the help. Your site is great. Only problem we had was getting the part from FED EX. Took over 2 weeks had to go pick up the part ourselfs.
Empty freezer to find defrost thermostat, turned off refrigerator, waited for ice to melt. Unpluged unit. Clipped lead wires to thermostat. Trimmed excsess wire on new defrost thermostat, installed butt connector(with heat shrink) to thermostat and then to leads in refrigerator. Heated connector until heat shrink, shrunk down around wires. Let it run for a few days to see if everything was working...and then button it back up.

Helicopter drops golf balls in school fundraiser
COSTA MESA Mariners Christian School students were on the athletic field Friday for its inaugural Helicopter Golf Ball Drop for scholarships.
About 660 students watched in great anticipation for the helicopter to arrive, and waited for it to drop the almost 2,000 golf balls they had purchased for $10 each onto a makeshift golf course.
Students won prizes when their golf balls landed closest to the different golf holes.
The event was part of the school's golf tournament held Monday at Newport Beach Country Club. The tournament raised more than $50,000 to help financial aid students attend Mariners Christian, school officials said.

MA Politics
This MA is designed for students who want a general introduction to Politics rather than specialisation in one particular field. It is ideal for those students who may have graduated in another subject but wish to secure a grounding in Politics. However, anyone with a degree in Politics can usefully broaden and deepen their knowledge of political science by taking this programme. Non-graduates with suitable qualifications and relevant governmental or political experience, who wish to stand back from everyday concerns in order to secure an academic perspective, may also be eligible for admission, subject to their basic educational qualifications.
Why Study Politics at UEA?
In PSI, we pride ourselves on providing top quality teaching. Independent monitors have given us top marks for our teaching and we have consistently scored highly in student surveys too. We offer research-led teaching which means that your lecturers will be able to give the most up-to-date, cutting edge information on your subject of study. We think you will find it a stimulating environment to study. Many students come from Britain, of course, but others come from all over the world. It will only help in your studies to meet and learn from people from all sorts of different cultures.
Courses, Content and Structure
The MA lasts twelve months for full-time students and two years for those studying part-time. You will have seminars and lectures during the first two semesters and then over the summer you will work on your dissertation which is handed in at the start of September.
Transferable Skills
Over the course of the MA, you will develop a variety of transferable skills. These include debating, giving oral presentations, team work, project work and essay writing. All students also take a module called Methods of Social Enquiry which is specifically designed to help you improve your research skills. This will enable you to write a better dissertation, but it will also be useful if you decide to take up a career in research.
The dissertation is a very important part of the MA. Students choose their own topic and are allocated an individual supervisor who gives advice on all aspects of writing and researching a dissertation. We also organise a Postgraduate Day when all postgraduates, including MA and PhD students, meet together and discuss their research. There is a session set aside for MA students to discuss their dissertation proposals. A guest speaker also gives a talk on the subject of his or her research and there is still time to socialise over a free buffet lunch.
Course Assessments
Assessment is based on a mix of dissertation, essays, research papers and performance in seminars.
Post-Graduate Online Journal
At their own initiative, MA students recently set up an e-journal, called Irrational, which publishes the work of students. It can be found at the PSI website: www.irrationalmagazine.org
It is difficult at the moment to find good jobs, but it is always good to have an extra qualification, and an MA is a good way of making yourself look a bit different from the rest. The career centre at the University is an excellent resource, and it helps us put on special days for students studying Politics when people working in the field come and discuss their jobs and how they got into them. Recent graduates from our MA programmes have taken up jobs in a wide variety of fields, including: business, teaching, research, journalism, the UN and many other international organisations.

Aviation Safety:
Certification and Approval Processes Are Generally Viewed as Working Well, but Better Evaluative Information Needed to Improve Efficiency
GAO-11-14: Published: Oct 7, 2010. Publicly Released: Oct 29, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4803
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Among its responsibilities for aviation safety, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issues thousands of certificates and approvals annually. These certificates and approvals, which FAA bases on its interpretation of federal standards, indicate that such things as new aircraft, the design and production of aircraft parts and equipment, and new air operators are safe for use in the national airspace system. Past studies and industry spokespersons assert that FAA's interpretations produce variation in its decisions and inefficiencies that adversely affect the industry. GAO was asked to examine the (1) extent of variation in FAA's interpretation of standards for certification and approval decisions and (2) views of key stakeholders and experts on how well these processes work. To perform the study, GAO reviewed industry studies and reports and FAA documents and processes; convened a panel of aviation experts; and interviewed officials from various industry sectors, senior FAA officials, and unions representing FAA staff.
Studies, stakeholders, and experts indicated that variation in FAA's interpretation of standards for certification and approval decisions is a long-standing issue, but GAO found no evidence that quantified the extent of the problem in the industry as a whole. Ten of the 13 industry group and company officials GAO interviewed said that they or members of their organization had experienced variation in FAA certification and approval decisions on similar submissions. In addition, experts on GAO's panel, who discussed and then ranked problems with FAA's certification and approval processes, ranked inconsistent interpretation of regulations, which can lead to variation in decisions, as the first and second most significant problem, respectively, with these processes for FAA's Flight Standards Service (which issues certificates and approvals for individuals and entities to operate in the national airspace system) and Aircraft Certification Service (which issues approvals to the designers and manufacturers of aircraft and aircraft parts and equipment). According to industry stakeholders, variation in FAA's interpretation of standards for certification and approval decisions is a result of factors related to performance-based regulations, which allow for multiple avenues of compliance, and the use of professional judgment by FAA staff and can result in delays and higher costs. Industry stakeholders and experts generally agreed that FAA's certification and approval processes contribute to aviation safety and work well most of the time, but negative experiences have led to costly delays for the industry. Industry stakeholders have also raised concerns about the effects of process inefficiencies on the implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen)--the transformation of the U.S. national airspace system from a ground-based system of air traffic control to a satellite-based system of air traffic management. They said that the processes take too long and impose costs that discourage aircraft operators from investing in NextGen equipment. FAA has taken actions to improve the certification and approval processes, including hiring additional inspectors and engineers and increasing the use of designees and delegated organizations--private persons and entities authorized to carry out many certification activities. Additionally, FAA is working to ensure that its processes are being followed and improved through a quality management system, which provides a mechanism for stakeholders to appeal FAA decisions. However, FAA does not know whether its actions under the quality management system are achieving the intended goals of reducing inconsistencies and increasing consistency and fairness in the agency's application of regulations and policies because FAA does not have outcome-based performance measures and a continuous evaluative process that would allow it to determine progress toward these goals. Without ongoing information on results, FAA managers do not know if their actions are having the intended effects. GAO recommends that FAA develop a continuous evaluative process with measurable performance goals to determine the effectiveness of the agency's actions to improve its certification and approval processes. DOT did not comment on the recommendations but provided technical comments, which were included as appropriate.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In October 2010, GAO reported that FAA had taken action to address variation in decisions and inefficiency in its certification and approval processes but without outcome-based performance measures and a continuous evaluative process to determine if these actions are having their intended effects. GAO recommended that the Secretary of Transportation direct the FAA Administrator to determine the effectiveness of actions taken to improve the certification and approval processes by developing a continuous evaluative process and use it to create measurable performance goals for the actions, track performance toward those goals, and determine appropriate process changes. To the extent that this evaluation of agency actions identifies effective practices, consider instituting them agency wide. On October 1, 2011 FAA implemented new metrics that provide the ability to track process performance and product conformity. These metrics will allow FAA to set measurable performance goals necessary to determine the effectiveness of the certification and approval processes and assist it in deciding the appropriate actions necessary to address systemic issues that may negatively impact certain processes and their outcomes.
Recommendation: To ensure that FAA actions contribute to more consistent decisions and more efficient certification and approval processes, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator of FAA to determine the effectiveness of actions to improve the certification and approval processes by developing a continuous evaluative process and use it to create measurable performance goals for the actions, track performance toward those goals, and determine appropriate process changes. To the extent that this evaluation of agency actions identifies effective practices, consider instituting those practices agency wide.
Agency Affected: Department of Transportation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GAO reported in October 2010 that FAA's Flight Standards and Aircraft Certification Services notify applicants for certification services as to whether resources are available to begin work on their projects. However, while Aircraft Certification tracks in a national database how long individual submissions are wait-listed, Flight Standards does not track wait-listed submissions and, therefore, is unaware how long projects are wait-listed and unable to reallocate resources to better meet demand for certification services. Further, industry stakeholders face uncertainty with respect to any plans or investments that depend on obtaining a certification in a timely manner. GAO recommended that the Secretary of Transportation direct the FAA Administrator to develop and implement in Flight Standards a process to track how long certification and approval submissions are wait-listed, the reasons for wait-listing them, and the factors that eventually allowed initiation of the certification process. In October 2011, FAA indicated that it had altered the software in Flight Standards' Certification Service Oversight Process (CSOP) database to designate when certification submissions are wait-listed. The database now tracks how long certification submissions are wait-listed. As a result, FAA now has the capability to track how long certification submissions are waitlisted and reallocate resources, as appropriate, to better meet demand.
Recommendation: To ensure that FAA actions contribute to more consistent decisions and more efficient certification and approval processes, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator of FAA to develop and implement a process in Flight Standards to track how long certification and approval submissions are wait-listed, the reasons for wait-listing them, and the factors that eventually allowed initiation of the certification process. Use the data generated from this process to assess the extent of wait-listing delays and to reallocate resources, as appropriate, to better meet demand.
