It's been 20 years since a scandal involving Olympians Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan rocked the skating world.
Kerrigan was clubbed on her right knee with a metal baton after a practice session at Cobo Arena on Jan. 6.
Some of the attack was caught on camera and broadcast around the world, particularly the now famous footage of attendants helping Kerrigan as she grabs at her knee wailing "Why, why, why?"
U.S. Olympic officials wanted Harding to quit the figure skating team over questions of whether she was involved in the clubbing of fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan.
The assault led to a soap opera that practically created tabloid television journalism, taking what had for decades been a niche sport and putting it squarely into the media mainstream.
"No Limits, No Mercy" --Kerrigan trains on the ice in Stoneham, on Jan. 17 for the first time in front of cameras since she was injured in the attack.
Harding skates past a sign of support as she prepares in Portland, Ore., Feb. 4, 1994, for the upcoming Lillehammer Winter Olympic Games.
Seven weeks after the attack, Kerrigan won the silver medal in the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics at the Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre, finishing second to Oksana Baiul.
Harding finished eighth in Lillehammer.
Kerrigan chose not to attend the closing ceremonies at the Olympics. She left Norway early to take part in a pre-arranged publicity parade at Walt Disney World.
Harding pleaded guilty on March 16 to conspiring to hinder prosecution of the attackers. She received three years probation, 500 hours of community service and a $160,000 fine.
Four men, including the ex-husband of Kerrigan's rival, Tonya Harding, went to prison for their roles in the attack.
Kerrigan was inducted into the United States Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2004.
In 2003, Harding made her official women's professional boxing debut. Her boxing career was quite short. Her overall record was 3–3–0.

Skip to comments.Wisconsin gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional
Posted on 06/06/2014 2:44:04 PM PDT by Oliviaforever
A United States District Court judge has ruled that Wisconsin's gay marriage ban is unconstitutional.
Judge Barbara Crabb issued a motion of summary judgment for the paintiffs, stating that Article XIII of the Wisconsin Constitution "violates planitiffs' fundamental right to marry and their right to equal protection of laws under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution."
(Excerpt) Read more at m.wisn.com ...
Barbara Crabb, Jimmy Carter appointment.
I just really doubt we're going to put up with this much longer. Let them have their fun.
Judges have no power to impose gay marriage
They cannot make law
Overturning a "ban" does not mean the state has to recognize gay "marriage"
Exactly what part of the Constitution does it violate?
The US Constitution says NOTHING about marriage.
In state after state, judges overturn the will of the people... with less than 10% of the population, the homosexuals sure know how to push their cause.
Wisconsin passed it's amendment by 59% in 2006. Wiki has Wisconsin actually having a repeal referendum scheduled for 2014, doubt that happens now.
I'll never forget what the big media story was when judges struck down the first ones in this wave after the SC's DOMA decision—it was about a cable reality show star saying he thought gay acts were gross right before Christmas. The station suspended him, the show's merch sold out for Christmas as folks bought it in solidarity and they reinstated him in time for the premier episode which got record ratings. That was the big story.
A gay marriage ban was not the way to accomplish what the state wanted to accomplish. Their best route would have been to join with all the other states in DOMA type legislation that included a provision that it was not reviewable by the Scotus. Then, of course, there was the marriage amendment to the Constitution: marriage shall consist of a union only of one man and one woman.
As always conseratives were sold a bill of goods about DOMA when they should have pressed for the amendment. It would have passed back then.
Marriage is the Holy union of a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation.
A civil union is permission from the State for 2 individuals to receive the benefits and responsibilities of a union granted by the state.
I was for the amendment, but knew it wouldn't pass Congress by the required margins.
"Overturning a ban does not mean the state has to recognize gay marriage"
And which state will do this?
No Governor has enough spine
its impossible to look at the 14th Amendment and see what these idiot judges "see".
the federal govt isnt the only thing that needs to be abolished by "we the people".
the peasants need to grab torches and pitchforks.
It would appear that Cobra's disdain for judges was totally warranted. 90% scum.
It had a chance back then
"Overturning a ban does not mean the state has to recognize gay marriage"
Obama would send in troops.
She is not well thought of according to the posts on robe probe which rates judges.
I think DOMA was enacted in 1996, two years or so before the first state constitutional amendments passed, Alaska(68%) and Hawaii(71%). So I think an actual constitutional maybe had a chance in the mid-late 90s. But I think there would also be a chance it would simply be repealed 20 years later.
You are correct, and that makes it a 10th amendment issue, completely up the the States and The People.
It's that darn 14th Amendent.
It should have been repealed after Recinstruction.
And I'm not afraid to say so.
I wonder how long before the backlash begins with others as well.
I'm with you
Another one bites the dust.
Looks like Gavin Newsom was right when he said we'd be getting fag marriage "whether we like it or not".
So, if we were to vote in a conservative president, can a liberal judge now declare the election void based on her own desires?
Right now they are doing something very similar by overturning the will of the majority on moral issues.
See? Summary judgment...the will of the people thwarted.
Pray for America. We are in danger.
Do the lovers of truth have any legal right of appeal?
I could see that IF the 14th Amendment were actually relevant here, that states would have to recognize marriages from other states, but to just tell a state that THEY MUST PERFORM THESE "MARRIAGES" is beyond the pail of despotism.
Good point about the ages require for marriage.
Suppose a 15 year old girl gets married in State A where it is legal but then moves to State B where it is not legal?
Is she still married and is her 25 year old husband breaking laws?
The day after a fed ruled KY's ban on homo marriage unconstitutional, another fed judge ruled that KY MUST recognize same sex marriages.
What would the judge do if Scott Walker refused to order the cities to issue marriage licenses?
Liberals would argue that the 14th Amendment applies to force the states to issue and recognize homosexual marriage but somehow it doesn't apply to the 2nd Amendment.
temper tantrum?
Another bull dyke judge overrules the will of the people. And as usual a republican governor cowers down to her like a dog in heat.
I thought that number was closer to 1.5% - 2.0%
Obastard has gave marching orders to any democrat federal judge to rule state same sex marriage ban as unconstitutional. It makes no diffference to this lawless POS that the people voted for these bans and the us constitution does not mention marriage. The goal is to have the majority of the states have it already "legal" when the supreme court finally hears the case. Then presto the supreme court will no reason to rule against it because activist judges have already done their work for them.To hell with the people and welcome to the Socialist States of America.
The American population has been set up. The liberals have been putting their crony judges in place for just a time as this, and now we see the real reason folks like Dirty Harry wanted the nuclear option to ensure he can keep putting his fellow dirt bags in judgeships across the nation.
The right of marriage lies with the states EXCLUSIVELY as guaranteed by the 10th Amendment. There is no such thing as a federal marriage license.
"What would the judge do if Scott Walker refused to order the cities to issue marriage licenses?"
The judge would do nothing.
The president would send troops to Wisconsin and federalize the Wisconsin National Guard.
Are we still praying for Ted Kennedy. Come on!!!!!! One last time just for fun'!!!!!!!!! Prayers up for the lion of the senate.
Most people on this site will be too busy praying for Ted Kennedy to engage in this backlash you speak of.
Once again, the whim of a judge usurps the will of the people.
- Obama has a golf date scheduled with Bowe as soon as he gets out of the hospital...
I do not get this. There has never been legal "gay marriage" and I doubt that any of its proponents could define what "gay marriage" is. The constitution says nothing about the exercise of bizarre behaviors which have never been tolerated in civil society. Yet, somehow, it is unconstitutional to say that marriage is the relationship between a man and a woman who are driven by instinct to form pair-bonds?
I really wish one of the Governors of the states that keep having an activist judge rule homo marriage unconstitutional stand up and say that marriage is a state issue so as a federal judge, you have no standing to rule on it and then go on to say that any marriage certificates given to so called "same sex" marriage will not be recognized.
There's a pattern to all this that involves judges in states like Utah (before Christmas), Michigan, Arkansas and now Wisconsin (late Friday afternoons) issuing rulings at just the moment that appeals courts closed for several days.
The judges knew what they were doing. They were deliberately creating a window for marriage licenses to be issued to gay couples and ceremonies to be performed before an appeal could reach a higher court to stay their orders.
Its possible an appeals court could agree with their rulings but unlikely since their rulings were ones with immediate effect not suspended pending appeal.
These rulings including the latest one in Wisconsin are very deliberate in your face shoving against existing marriage laws.
If higher courts rule against the lower ones those given licenses and "married" become "victims" for the media and plaintiffs for lawsuits to go beyond man-woman marriage to legalize same sex marriage.
I and this family will never accept these people as married, yes they can pretend they are married, but if any of them ever states to me they are married they will be corrected.
So according to these activist judges polygamy should be legal under the 14th amendment and so should everything else.

Kate Allgood
I had the pleasure of meeting with Kate Allgood; a Certified Sports Hypnotist and Certified Muscle Activation Techniques Specialist this past week. This was a very exciting encounter for me because not only is Kate an athlete she is an entrepreneur in a niche market that caters to exactly what she loves in life! Kate played ice hockey within the Canadian University and in 2006 she was recognized as one of the top female athletes of the year in all of Canada! That's right; all of Canada! And not only was she recognized as one of the top female athletes she was also the top female ice hockey athlete in all of Canada! That is a very commendable achievement indeed.
Kate was interested in many different professions, but she had a love for sports and Psychology. When it comes to a student selecting a profession, there are a vast number of professions to choose from. Kate knew that she loved helping people and she loved being an athlete as well. She took it upon herself to combine the two.
When you are an athlete you realize that most of what you are doing is stimulated by your mind. Whether it be; shooting a basketball, blocking a volleyball, running a race, etc. Your body is engaged but your mind is in charge. Kate utilizes her skills to assist athletes in visualizing what they are doing and help them to remain consistent with accomplishing their goals while they are in a successful frame of mind. Kate also works with Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT). The idea with MAT is to make sure that all muscles are fully functioning at their highest capability. If you are injured your muscles are likely to overcompensate for the muscles that are not functioning at their highest capability. Through muscle activation techniques the goal is to assist the lower functioning muscles to work in unison with the muscles that are over compensating. This ensures that all muscles will be functioning at their fullest potential.
That's not all Kate does. Kate has a wide range of athletes as clients and with her younger clients she also involves the parents as well. She is creating programs with parents and athletes. She has worked with parents to inform them exactly what their children need as athletes and helps the positive communication between parent and child. She also speaks with her younger athletes acknowledging their lifestyle, helping them relieve stress, assisting them with goal setting, and showing them how to communicate their needs to their parents openly. She believes if the athlete focuses on loving what they do it will be easier for them to excel at their game from a more positive state of mind.
As a compassionate athlete Kate loves working with athletes and helping them achieve their goals. She aspires to travel with professional teams and do what she loves all over the world. Kate will most definitely be at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil traveling with an athlete or group of athletes. So watch out Brazil Kate is on her way!
From a very young age Kate loved ice hockey, and her cousin actually played hockey for Montreal in 1995. Today Kate plays hockey once a week in a men's league. Kate loves San Diego and has traded in her heavy snow gear for flip flops and fun. She loves to take her dog to the beach and being outdoors is what's on her agenda when she has free time.
Kate's office is located in beautiful Del Mar. I would definitely recommend Kate Allgood's services to all athletes and fitness enthusiasts. You can visit her website at www.balanced-bodyworks.com or give her a call at 619-446-6846.

Different Types of Batteries in a Dual Battery System?

I forget to mention, just because two batteries are both AGM does not mean they are same. A starting battery and a deep cycle are physically constructed different, such that in some cases you will actually ruin a house battery trying to use it for a high current. The plates, the internal construction is not made to dump current in a hurry. Vice-versa, short, trickle loads cause starting batteries issues, they'll sulfinate faster, requiring maintenance charges and stuff to regain capacity.
But, OTOH, things like voltage will be fairly constant, so they can be charged in parallel as long as both are in good shape and there's sufficient current. Lead-acid batteries self regulate for the most part, so as their state of charge goes up, their internal resistance increases and current draw goes down. You would have more trouble potentially trying to do an AGM and flooded battery in parallel since they have slightly different voltage/current requirements.

This one-week, one-credit compressed course focuses on mapping variation through the use of geospatial tools like GIS. The course, offered as A&S 500-003, will take place from November 9-13 from 5-8pm each day in the Oliver Raymond Building, room C226. As a 500-level course, it is open to both graduate and undergraduate students.
Dr. Montgomery's research investigates ways of integrating techniques used in geography with those traditionally used in dialectology. His specific focus in the use of GIS technologies is innovative in the field of linguistics, and his presence on UK's campus will expose the community here to some of the most recent endeavors in these kinds of digital humanities research methodologies. Despite a focus in linguistic variation, this class will present methods that could be applied to many of the social sciences and humanities, wherein the questions deal with societal patterns, variations in those patterns, and the geospatial presentation and analysis of data related to those patterns. If you have any questions about this course, please contact Dr. Jennifer Cramer (email@example.com).
Who said reading only had one season? Sure, fall is approaching and life is getting busy, but an interesting book could be the perfect way to wind down after those jam-packed days, or to inspire you for the week ahead.
Our newest episode of Office Hours is here! Listen in as we wrap up the semester with Jennifer Cramer, a professor from the Linguistics Program in the Department of English. Cramer discusses a variety of linguistics-related topics, ranging from her inspiration for her studies to hip hop and how stereotypes can be tied to dialect.
Office Hours is produced by the College of Arts & Sciences and airs on WRFL FM 88.1 every Wednesday from 2-3 p.m. This podcast was produced by Casey Hibbard.

I agree with the other poster that it is a little large, could cut down the size a bit if you want. also, I found the finished bookmark looked better if for the final stitching I folded the outside fabric together, then turned the triangle right side out before pressing. I didn't like the seam allowance with the contrasting fabrics visible on the outside of the bookmark.

It's pretty good but, kinda big for the size. I'd expect it to be just an inch long. But, it's really cool!!

Although moving to a new country was difficult, I have adapted to the change pretty well. I am building a good career, surrounding myself with close friends, well traveled and enjoying my adventurous life.
When I am not working, I love traveling around the world. I once ate blowfish sashimi in Japan and survived. I dived with sharks at the Great Barrier Reef and survived. Me and friends drove 200km/h on the autobahn in Germany and survived. I almost got attacked by an eagle when doing outdoor rock climbing and still alive! ;) But don't be scared away, those are the fun highlights of my adventures. I am a down to earth and drama free person. I bike to work in the summer.
I love all kinds of Asian food. Din Tai Fung is my favorite.
The pair of hiking shoes that I take out for traveling the world.
My daily squats, the only way to look fabulous in yoga pants.
The special Mochi cake that only I can bake.
Sriracha and Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.

You'll get used to it.
Is it possible to eat too much fat? My brain has been "low-fat" programmed for so long, I think I may be overdoing it on the fat. I'm enjoying lots of bacon and butter, but scared I'm using the primal lifestyle as an excuse to over-indulge on the fats. For example in a full days time, I may eat this much fat: 2T of almond butter, a hand full of nuts/seed mix, 2-3T olive oil, 2T butter and 1-2T coconut oil for cooking. This is not including eggs and bacon. The SAD would say I am a heart attack waiting to happen, but need advice on this.
You'll get used to it.
That's not very much.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
trachelle - 3 days into this program and I have the same worry.... bacon and eggs for breakfast, lots of butter, meat, olive oil, avocados and on and on the list goes. Not to mention the whipped cream that I had on my fresh blueberries for dessert :-)
My brain has been programmed for so long to eat low fat and lots of whole grains, that this is scary.
But I knew that all the wheat I was eating was not doing me any good... I was lethargic all the time and had intestinal issues ... and I knew it was the wheat.. the more I ate, the worse I felt......... so I started Googling and landed here and on Robb Wolf's Paleo Solution website.
It sure sounds like a great plan....... :-)
I felt the same and am still struggling mentally (not to mention the looks from my DH at what I'm eating). Try plugging your food intake into fitday or similar to check what % of your calories are fat. I am still freaking out that the majority of my calories are coming from sat fat. Eeek! But it's all good - early on I felt like I couldn't get enough but that's eased off now. Hang in there!
Not to hijack the thread but I have the same question... but I eat a lot more fat. Is this too much?
My daily fat sources:
5 x whole eggs (sometimes more yolks, less whites)
40-70g organic grass-fed butter
200g fatty fish (approx 20g natural fish fats)
Handful of nuts (not every day)
300g fatty cut of meat (ribeye fillet, chicken with skin or salmon)
Twice a week indulgence in double cream and blueberries
I'm 11% bodyfat and have reasonable muscle and I'm not getting fat eating these.

Holyfield-Mercer II Set For Hatton-Van Heerden on 2/2
By Phil D. Jay
Damian Michael, CEO of Showpony Promotions and organiser of the Cape Town bill, has told WBN that the two former champions have signed on for a four-round exhibition contest and other big names have also been offered places on the card.
"Holyfield has signed the contract and he will be up against Ray mercer in a four rounder in honour of Mr. Mandela and I am currently waiting on Roy Jones Jr to sign on the dotted line," Michael told World Boxing News.
"I am also awaiting Steve Cunningham's signature (at heavyweight) as we have spoken, but I still need to tie up some loose ends.
"We have invited George Foreman as well as my ambassador and announcer Michael Buffer."
One fighter touted for the bill that looks unlikely though is Rugby star-turned fighter Sonny Bill Williams as Michael stated that a TV network commitment in his native New Zealand has prevented him from taking part.
"Sonny Bill Williams has to finish his deal with Sky New Zealand, but I am happy so far. This is more than a boxing event. This is about Africa and the greatest of them all, Nelson Mandela," he added.
In the main event, IBO welterweight champion Chris Van Heeden will face Matthew Hatton.

Willie Cauley is Calipari's first 7-foot signee at UK. The Olathe, Kan., native is a senior at Northwest High School where he averaged 15.8 points and 8.5 rebounds last season. Cauley is ranked the 10th best center in the country by Scout.com and ESPNU Recruiting and the sixth best by Rivals.com. He ranks 20th overall by Scout, while ESPNU Recruiting has him at 32nd and Rivals ranks him 39th. He also stars on the football field, catching 57 passes for 1,140 yards and 14 touchdowns through nine games in 2011 as a wide receiver.
"At 7-feet tall, Willie has great feet and great hands," Calipari said. "He's a wide receiver on the football team. When he starts zeroing in on this sport, I think people are going to be surprised at how good he really is. He's got his best basketball ahead of him."
Archie Goodwin a 6-foot-4 guard from Little Rock, Ark., is in his senior year at Sylvan Hills High School where he averaged 28.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists as a junior. Goodwin, the Gatorade Player of the Year in Arkansas, is currently ranked as the second best shooting guard in the country and 12th overall by Rivals.com. Scout.com ranks him the third best shooting guard and 13th overall, while ESPNU Recruiting has Goodwin as the fourth best shooting guard and also 13th overall.
"Archie is a combo guard who can really score the ball," Calipari said. "I love his athleticism and length. He plays kind of like Tyreke Evans, but can shoot it more consistent at this stage in his career than Tyreke could." Alex Poythress, a 6-7 forward from Clarksville, Tenn. is a senior at Northeast High School where he has played all five positions at different times. As a junior, Poythress averaged 22.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, 1.4 steals and 1.2 assists en route to being named a finalist for Mr. Basketball honors in Tennessee. Scout.com ranks Poythress 16th overall in the class of 2012 and the No. 3 small forward. ESPNU Recruiting has him 17th overall and No. 4 at his position, while Rivals.com ranks him 19th overall and No. 8 at his position.
"When Alex is at his best, because of his size and athleticism, he's as good as anybody in the country," Calipari said. "He is really athletic, and when he's got his motor running, he can score at will."
The early signing period ended Wednesday, November 16.

Atlanta, December 20, 2006 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) welcomed yesterday's decision by the Cobb County School Board to settle a lawsuit brought by concerned parents who challenged the placement of stickers in biology textbooks that undermined the teaching of evolution.
Originally placed in textbooks in 2002, the sticker stated "This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered." Under the settlement of the case entitled, Selman v. Cobb County School District, the School Board agreed never to use similar stickers or undermine the teaching of evolution in the science classroom.
"The real winners here are the students," said Shelley Rose, Interim Southeast Region Director. "Twenty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court made it clear that any attempt to ban evolution or include creationism in the science curriculum is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. The stickers should never have been placed in textbooks, and the Board's action only served to divide the community and undermine science education, which is so critical to our children's future success. We hope that this settlement heals the divisions and puts the focus back on science education."
In 2003, U.S. District Court Judge Clarence Cooper ruled that the stickers were unconstitutional and ordered them removed from biology textbooks. The Board appealed this ruling to the Atlanta-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, which sent the case back to Judge Cooper to gather additional information. This is where the case remained until yesterday's settlement.
When the case came before the 11th Circuit, ADL submitted a friend-of-the-court brief which urged the Court to uphold Judge Cooper's ruling, and in 2002 the League presented its "Unsung Hero Award" to Jeffrey Selman, a local parent who led the filing of this lawsuit.
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

Juan Manuel Marquez Explains His Tremendous Shape
Former four division champion Juan Manuel Marquez discusses his tremendous body, at age 40, as heads for his fifth divisional title on October 12th against WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. HBO Pay-Per-View is carrying the fight.
QUESTION: As one of the best conditioned 40-year-olds in boxing, how have you managed to stay in such tremendous shape? What type of training do you do before a fight? Yet, more importantly, what type of training do you do when you aren't preparing for a fight?
MARQUEZ: Since I became a professional boxer I have understood the importance of staying in good shape between fights and I have always tried to adapt to any new trends as far as physical conditioning goes for professional athletes. Boxing is a very difficult sport and there are a lot of sacrifices that need to be made during training camp but also in-between fights.
A good diet is important to stay healthy and in good shape. While I don't keep the same diet between fights I try not to over indulge on food either. For many years I rarely stay away from the gym. Sometimes I would only take a week off after fight before I went back to gym, but as I have gotten older and more experienced I have learned to stay away from the gym and learned how to relax and let my body recuperate after a long training camp. Rest between fights has become a very important part of my training routine.
While I never thought that I would be fighting at this age, I have never felt that I should retire just because of my age. My body continues to feel good and mentally I feel at top of my game. The fact that I have changed my preparation for my fights -- adapting to my age -- has also helped; doing things differently has prevented my training from becoming boring and tedious.
Going up in weight has also helped me stay in the sport this long. I fought a lot of years at 126 pounds, but rapidly progressed to 147. From 1993 when I made my pro debut until 2007, when I fought for the 130-pound championship, I was a featherweight and got my first world title in that 126-pound division.
From 2007 until now I have fought at 130, 135, 140 and 147 pounds. And have also won championships in those divisions except for 147 pounds where I am looking to become the first Méxican to win five world titles in five different weight divisions. And while it has not be easy to stay at top of my game for this long I have learned to give my body the rest it needs and the work it needs to get me through these very difficult and challenging bouts.
The key has been my ability to stay focused on what I need to do between fights and once I get into training camp the ability to work hard and stay disciplined. I was in the gym when Daniel Zaragoza was winning championship fights in his late 30's early 40's and thinking how hard he worked to keep up his condition to be ready to fight much younger guys. But now here I am in the same position and looking forward to getting in the ring and doing what I do best -- winning.
24/7 Bradley/Marquez debuts Sat., Sept. 28 on HBO immediately after World Championship Boxing tripleheader.
Bradley vs. Marquez welterweight title fight takes place Sat., Oct. 12 live on HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT.

If you thought the upcoming John Krasinski-Drew Barrymore romantic drama 'Big Miracle' wasn't actually called 'Big Miracle,' you're forgiven: for a long time, the Ken Kwapis-directed film was actually known as 'Everybody Loves Whales.' A fitting title, really, since as the trailer for 'Big Miracle' proves, everyone does love whales -- and they'll move tons and tons of thick arctic ice to save them. Watch ahead.
The star-studded 'Big Miracle' -- which also features Kristen Bell, Vinessa Shaw, Dermot Mulroney, Ted Danson, Andy Daly, Tim Blake Nelson and Stephen Root -- arrives in theaters on Feb. 3, just in time to take advantage of the couples-crowd that loves both Barrymore and Krasinski. Also, whales. They all love whales.

Qatari investor expected to save SolarWorld03. May 2013 | Industry & Suppliers, Investor news, Markets & Trends, Top News | By: Sandra Enkhardt, Becky Beetz
It has been largely agreed that Qatar Solar Technologies will step in to save SolarWorld AG, according to reports. The details are expected to be published at the German photovoltaic company's EGM.
A Qatari investor is ready to help pull the highly indebted SolarWorld out of its financial crisis, reports Reuters. "We will publish the size of the potential stake at the extraordinary general meeting [EGM]," SolarWorld CEO Frank Asbeck told the news agency.
Asbeck declined to say who the investor is. However, quoting a source close to the process, Reuters said that Qatar Solar Technologies – a joint venture between SolarWorld (29% stake) and the Qatar Foundation (70% stake) – was ready to take a "minority stake" in the German company. The Qatar Development Bank owns the remaining 1% stake.
This week, SolarWorld published its preliminary 2012 financial figures. Overall, it expects to record a loss of almost €0.5 billion, while revenues have been calculated at around €606 million. The final results are scheduled to be published at the end of this month.
Shortly afterwards, SolarWorld will announce the agreement of its debt restructuring with its most important creditors. A comprehensive debt to equity swap is planned, where, most notably, the existing shareholders will lose almost their entire share and the creditors will hold a majority stake in the business.
"The requirement of the shareholder protection will take management into account," Asbeck further told Reuters. After the restructuring, his SolarWorld share will fall from 28 to 1.4%.
With reference to the source close to the process, Reuters added that Asbeck was willing to again invest fresh capital into the company. He expects that all capital measures will be signed and sealed by the autumn. Then, total debt would decrease from the current €1.2 billion to €400 million.

Libyan fighter jets pounded a rebel-held oil port Monday as President Obama warned that the U.S. was still considering a range of responses to the conflict, including "potential military options."
Obama said NATO was consulting in Brussels and emphasized that he wanted to send a clear message to Moammar Gadhafi's regime.
"It is their choice to make how they operate moving forward, and they will be held accountable for whatever violence continues to take place there," the president said at a White House news conference with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. He also authorized an additional $15 million in humanitarian aid to Libya.
As a first step, NATO agreed on Monday to increase AWACs surveillance flights over Libya from 10 to 24 hours a day to give the alliance a better picture of both the humanitarian and military situations on the ground, U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder told reporters. NATO's governing body is meeting over the next two days to come up with contingency plans for military operations to be considered at a Thursday meeting of the alliance's defense ministers in Brussels, Daalder said.
Earlier, Gadhafi warplanes launched multiple airstrikes in the city of Ras Lanuf, where rebel forces tried to regroup from a government assault that has stalled their push west toward Tripoli.
Two of the airstrikes "mostly just hit in the sand," NPR's Peter Kenyon reported from Ras Lanuf, which is marked by large oil-tank farms and rows of worker housing in mostly empty desert. But he said shrapnel from another strike reportedly hit people riding in a pickup truck. It was not clear whether there were casualties.
Opposition fighters took control of the city late last week as they pushed out of the rebel-held eastern half of Libya for the first time. But their westward advance was turned back by a ferocious counterassault Sunday in the village of Bin Jawad, about 30 miles west of Ras Lanuf. Pro-regime forces used helicopter gunships, artillery and rockets to recapture the tiny desert town.
The rebels said they can take on Gadhafi's elite ground forces but are outgunned in the face of air power.
"We don't want a foreign military intervention, but we do want a no-fly zone," rebel fighter Ali Suleiman told The Associated Press. The opposition, he added, can take on "the rockets and the tanks, but not Gadhafi's air force."
Suleiman said his forces were waiting for reinforcements in Ras Lanuf and have orders "to stay here and guard the refinery, because oil is what makes the world go 'round."
Mohamad Samir, an army colonel fighting with the rebels, also told the AP that his forces were expecting reinforcements from the east.
Rebels told NPR that locals joined pro-Gadhafi forces to ambush them in Bin Jawad. Regime troops reportedly commandeered several houses, set up sniper positions and fired on rebel forces that entered the village thinking it was still under their control.
"We have had multiple reports — which we cannot confirm — of civilians, especially women, being pushed to the window frames when fighting was going on, which would be an allegation of the Gadhafi forces using them as human shields if that was confirmed," Kenyon said.
AP reporters witnessed air attacks by helicopters on the rebel forces and heavy fighting on the ground. A warplane also attacked a small military base at Ras Lanuf and destroyed three hangars and a small building. Regime forces shelled rebel positions in the port city with rockets and artillery. Ambulances sped toward the town and rebels moved trucks carrying multi-rocket launchers toward the front lines.
Eight people died and 59 were wounded in the fighting around Bin Jawad, Ibrahim Said, deputy director of Ajdabiya hospital, told the AP.
Oil Port Is Front Line Of Rebel Push
The rebels regrouped in Ras Lanuf, where MiG fighters circled over rebel positions Monday before launching airstrikes behind their front lines in the morning and afternoon.
Ras Lanuf is now the front line in the battle for Libya. But Kenyon said it represents "a defensive front line as opposed to a staging area for the next push west by the rebels, which is what we've been seeing previously."
Anti-government fighters hope to push toward Sirte, Gadhafi's hometown, and then on through to Tripoli. Many of the rebels in Ras Lanuf told NPR Monday that "Inshalla [God willing], I will be sleeping tonight in Sirte," but that seemed unlikely given the latest fighting.
Guarded by highly trained and heavily fortified units, Sirte remains a major obstacle for the ragtag opposition.
Related NPR Stories
"The level of experience on the rebels' side is very low," Kenyon said. "As we made our way to Ras Lanuf today, we stopped and talked to fighters at checkpoints. Some of them had anti-tank cannons, some of them had SAM7 surface-to-air missiles, some of them had RPGs. ... And I would ask each one of them, 'Have you ever fired this before? Have you ever had any experience?' and every single one of them said, 'No, no — this is the first time.' "
Gadhafi forces also reportedly attacked the western city of Zawiya, just 30 miles from Tripoli.
A resident told the AP that tanks and artillery opened fire on rebels around 9 a.m. local time and that attack hadn't stopped when he left the city at 1:30 p.m. All entrances to Zawiya were under government control and the rebels had been driven out of the city's central Martyr's Square and a nearby mosque by the heaviest attack in several days.
"The tanks are everywhere," the man said. "The hospital is running out of supplies. There are injured everywhere who can't find a place to go."
But Martin Fletcher, associate editor of The Times of London, found a way through Sunday in a taxi from Tripoli. He said he came across a scene of destruction — burning vehicles and buildings, trees uprooted and people recovering from serious injuries in a hospital.
"People [are] on respirators with severe head wounds; bullets to the abdomen; shrapnel all up their sides," he told NPR.
If the rebels continue to advance, even slowly, Gadhafi's heavy dependence on air power could prompt the West to try to hurriedly enforce a no-fly zone over the country. The United Nations has already imposed sanctions against Libya, and the U.S. has moved military forces closer to its shores to back up its demand that Gadhafi step down.
One young fighter in Ras Lanuf told NPR that even though the rebels have been adamant about no foreign military intervention on the ground in Libya, they're beginning to wonder why the international community doesn't step in as they get hammered by superior forces.
"The day will come when we will ask why the West didn't help, why the international community didn't help, and then we will be angry at them, as well," he said.
Libyan diplomat Ali Aujali, told NPR that the opposition movement needs two things from foreign powers: a no-fly zone and recognition of a national council established as an alternative government.
"We will die for our country. We don't want foreigners ... to die for our country," said Aujali, the Libyan ambassador to the U.S. who quit Gadhafi's government last month. "We will do the fight[ing]. Don't worry."
But Susan Rice, the U.S. representative at the U.N. told NPR's Melissa that "it's too soon to know" if a resolution to impose a no-fly zone could pass in the U.N.
U.N., Europe Launch Fact-Finding Missions
The uprising in Libya, which began Feb. 15, is already longer and much bloodier than the relatively quick revolts that overthrew the longtime authoritarian leaders of neighboring Egypt and Tunisia. Hundreds if not thousands of people have died during the unrest, although tight restrictions on media make it near impossible to get an accurate tally.
The U.N. is sending former Jordanian Foreign Minister Abdelilah Al-Khatib as a special envoy to Libya for urgent consultations aimed at ending the bloodshed. A fact-finding mission also is being dispatched to Tripoli to investigate the violence and its effects on the civilian population.
A team from the European Union arrived in Libya over the weekend to report on the humanitarian situation by Friday, when EU leaders are expected to meet and draw up a plan for assistance.
Valerie Amos, U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, said the Benghazi Red Crescent reported that the western city of Misurata was under attack by government forces.
"Humanitarian organizations need urgent access now," Amos said in a statement. "People are injured and dying and need help immediately."
More than 200,000 people have fled the country, most of them foreign workers. The exodus is creating a humanitarian crisis across the border with Tunisia — another North African country in turmoil after an uprising in January that ousted its longtime leader.
Many of those who have fled Libya's conflict are migrant workers from Bangladesh. Three died Sunday after jumping off a boat carrying more than 1,000 Bangladeshi workers from Tripoli to the Greek Island of Crete, NPR'S David Greene reported from the Tunisian border town of Zarzis.
Greek authorities said several dozen passengers climbed into the water during the night after the boat docked in Crete. Fourteen people were missing.
"It's not clear why the refugees escaped the boat, but there's speculation they hoped to avoid being sent home and preferred to stay in the European Union to look for work," Greene said. "Bangladeshis fleeing Libya have poured over the border into eastern Tunisia. Many share the same story: When the unrest began, their bosses told them to get out."
Red-Faced Britain Explains Bungled Mission
Britain was forced Monday to explain a botched mission to Libya in which eight people were briefly detained by anti-Gadhafi forces.
The U.K. team — believed to be a half-dozen commandos and at least one British official — arrived by helicopter near Benghazi in the middle of the night several days ago, according to witness reports. Their secret mission was to make contact with opposition leaders, but apparently they weren't expected.
The Brits were detained after Libyan security guards discovered they were carrying weapons and some fake passports and mistook them for foreign mercenaries.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague, who authorized the operation to make contact with the Libyan rebels, told members of Parliament on Monday that the team ran into "difficulties" that have since been resolved.
The team was released Sunday and boarded a British frigate heading for Malta.

Sebago deer hunter shot, dies at scene
SEBAGO (AP) — The Maine Warden Service on Sunday was investigating the fatal shooting of a hunter a day earlier.
Wardens said Peter Kolofsky, 46, of Sebago, was wearing hunter orange when he was shot Saturday afternoon. He died at the scene.
Officials identify the person who shot Kolofsky as William Briggs, 61, of Windham. Both men were deer hunting in Sebago, but they were not hunting in the same parties.
Wardens are investigating. No summonses or charges had been filed at this point.
Saturday's shooting came a day after two other, separate hunting-related shootings in Maine. A New Hampshire man was in critical condition after being shot in the stomach in Casco. And in Oxford, a hunter was shot once in the lower leg by a friend.
The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife said Kolofsky was the first hunting fatality in the Maine woods since 2008, when a man who was deer hunting in Beaver Cove died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Last year, there were seven shooting incidents, all of them involving bird and turkey hunters.
In In 2009, there were eight shooting incidents, one of them involving deer hunting, but no fatalities. In 2008, there were 10 shooting incidents and one fatal.
There are over 200,000 licensed hunters in Maine, the department said.

We appreciate the manner in which the work was done and also the work was done according to schedule. Also the crew was very friendly and answered all our questions.
Even though they had no window downstairs to vent out dust, somehow, there was very little dust from all this. They laid tarps from my front door , down the basement stairs to the area where they were working. It was remarkable how little dirt that was created.On the same day, they also painted the walls in the unfinished storage room to freshen up and reseal the walls. This was all done in one day. The guys just kept working...
On the day that the flooring was put down, when the men initially called me to say that they were done, I was not satisfied with how the tile was cut in several areas. Even though it was the end of the day - and a Friday - they stayed an extra hour and recut tiles to do a better job. On that day and several times since then when speaking to the employees of Century Masonry and Waterproofing, I was told that they truly want their customers to be happy. If there's something that's bothering you, they want to know and they will do whatever they can to rectify it. I think they were terrific.
As a post note, my neighbors across the street had water remediation done at their house and I watched the contractor come to their house for ten days! Every time I looked out the window, the workers were outside, taking a break. They were subjected to noise and dirt for almost two weeks. I couldn't believe the difference!
The owner came out to review what the source of the water entry was. Two other companies gave me an expensive $2500-$3000 internal waterproofing solutions. Century said that the problem is most likely from an exterior lear from my cement porch landing and offered a referral to another company with a fix at a fraction of the cost. Extremely honest people in an industry that isn't.
You and your crew worked clearly and politely. You were very helpful and professional. Thank you for such good service. You will certainly have people told by me, how good you guys are!
Very good prompt service. We did have one problem, a cracked pipe, that was repaired quickly.
Thank you for helping me solve my wet basement problems!
Installers were very professional and courteous. Very impressive operation you have. Thanks.
Your crew was very efficient and courteous.
Thanks for the peace of mind. (smiley face)
