TEXAS: Basking in the Dark: Inside UT's McDonald Observatory UT Austin's McDonald Observatory is not a monastery, at least not in the traditional sense. It's not just in the fact that its raison d'être is a study of the heavens, but in its isolation, the vast emptiness of the surrounding landscape, the magnificent vistas, the quietness of the afternoon, and the pitch fl darkness of the night, which is why it was located here in the first place. McDonald operates its own school bus, which carries the children of the observatory's employees along the winding 17-mile mountain road to and from Fort Davis each day. utopia.utexas.edu /articles/alcalde/mcdonald.html?sec=texas&sub=university   (4389 words)

Devolution: News Coverage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) McDonald and Duncan went to Ottawa Monday to lobby federal politicians for support in changing the act, which is the Yukon's constitution. Piers McDonald says devolution is not dependent on the completion of land claims in the Yukon and he says nobody has raised that issue as a possible concern.

Whitehorse Star Online McDonald recalled he and Whitehorse Mayor Ernie Bourassa’s tour of the Bathurst-Campbellton Canada Winter Games in 2003, after Whitehorse was awarded the Games. McDonald said while the majority of the planning phase has been completed, completion of the intricate details still needs to be take place. McDonald said while he’s sure there will be many late nights and long road trips in order to get to the finish line, he and others involved with the Whitehorse bid have been buoyed by all the support they’ve received, especially from unexpected places. www.whitehorsestar.com /auth.php?r=37004   (701 words)

Whitehorse Star Online McDonald said he doesn’t expect the election to have a significant impact on the 2007 Games funding. In an interview in October, McDonald said the host society in Whitehorse was awaiting a $5-million to $7-million funding commitment from Ottawa.

TxTell: McDonald Observatory In addition to the three major telescopes, the McDonald Observatory operates two others of note: a 36-inch completed in 1956 and a 30-inch built in 1970. Fortunately, there are lots of amateur astronomers who have moved to the area for the same reason McDonald has, and they enjoy the fruits of McDonald's efforts to keep it dark. One program lets visitors into the 82 for a three-hour tour of the sky in which the telescope is focused on one object, and a maximum of 20 people take turns viewing it (usually for about a minute apiece) before the telescope is moved to the next object. txtell.lib.utexas.edu /stories/m0005-full.html   (4209 words)

Yukon Victory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) The Yukon NDP, under leader Piers McDonald, won 11 seats out of 17 seats in the territorial assembly, gaining five seats from the six it had held as official opposition. Even though a government-appointed commission of inquiry completely cleared McDonald of any wrong-doing, many Yukon Party politicians, including the government leader John Ostashek, continued to maintain that McDonald had misused his influence, hoping that the implication of wrong-doing would hurt the NDP at the polls. Piers McDonald replaced Tony Penikett as leader of the Yukon NDP, after the former leader stepped down from territorial politics after the NDP's defeat in the 1992 election. www.web.net /~ondp/nod/nov96/yukon.HTM   (686 words)
