Things are going to be changing for the summer here at ATA. BA will continue on Sunday and with her ratings post on Tuesdays. Monday and Thursday Cyn will catch you up on CNNi, Where in the World and any other news that has caught her eye. Out of the Box will remain on Wednesday with Sapphire taking over for me and our master researcher, Julie, will be handling a new weekend post that will be online midday Saturday.

While I'll still be handling the email, questions, tips and comments for ATC I won't be doing a weekly blog post. But you can still find me weeknights at ATA.

Speaking of Julie, she's getting married on Saturday. The whole ATA/ATC team send congratulations and wish her all the happiness in the world!

As always much thanks to Julie and to BA for the research help. ~Phebe
