New Jersey, Nuclear Waste & Super Hero Love.
Our Most Recent Hit: A Fringe First for this Off-Broadway Hit! Beloved by Press and Patrons Alike!
Sacred Fools Theater – Main Stage
1076 Lillian Way @ Santa Monica Boulevard
Hollywood Fringe Festival Project #3539
Based on Lloyd Kaufman's cult film and winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, THE TOXIC AVENGER MUSICAL is a charming love story of an unlikely hero, his beautiful blind girlfriend, a corrupt New Jersey mayor and two guys who play—well, everyone else—bullies, mobsters, old ladies, and stiletto-wearing back-up singers.
Melvin Ferd the Third wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Foiled by the mayor's bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey's first superhero.
Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and win the girl.
Parental advisory: TOXIC is factory-run-off fun but a bit risqué. So PG-13.

K-State Falls to SMU at Junkanoo Jam
K-State Falls to SMU at Junkanoo Jam
Nov. 28, 2013
FREEPORT, Bahamas – Despite a career-high performance from Ashia Woods in her in season debut, Kansas State dropped its opening game of the Junkanoo Jam to SMU on Friday evening, 68-57. The Wildcats have now lost three straight since opening the season with consecutive wins.
K-State (2-3) was led by Woods with a career-high 16 points. She also added three rebounds and two steals. Woods made her first appearance of the season, after receiving clearance following her complete recovery from a tear of her Achilles tendon on Jan. 21.
Woods' effort led a K-State bench performance that outscored SMU's bench 22-18. Through the first five games this season, K-State has a 129-99 advantage over its opponent in bench points.
Joining Woods in double figures were Haley Texada and Leticia Romero. Texada registered 13 points, a career-high nine rebounds and dished out four assists. Romero reached double figures for the fourth time this season with 10 points to go with six assists and a career-high five steals.
SMU (7-0) was paced by Keena Mays with 15 points. Destynee Hives-McCray added 12 points and 14 rebounds.
K-State avoided its third straight slow start and jumped out to an early lead on the Mustangs. SMU fought back with an 8-2 run to secure a 13-10 lead with 14:33 to play. Woods then came off the bench to spark the Wildcats with six straight points to push K-State into a 16-13 lead with 12:46 to play.
After SMU to a brief 17-16 lead, Woods knocked down her first three-point field goal of the season to give K-State a 19-17 edge. A steal and layup from Leticia Romero gave K-State a 21-17 lead with 9:06 to play.
A 13-4 run from the Mustangs pushed them into a 30-25 lead, capped by a Mays' three-point field goal with 4:36 to play. SMU would end the opening half up 38-30.
K-State was able to narrow SMU's lead to five, 41-36, in the opening stages of the second half. The Mustangs would rebuild its lead to 15, 54-39, with 9:08 to play on the strength of a 13-3 run.
The Wildcats would string together an 8-3 run, with Romero carding four points during the rally to bring the score to 61-49 with 1:28 remaining. The Mustangs would hold off the Wildcats down the stretch from the foul line.
K-State shot .348 from the field of the offensive end and held SMU to .333. The Wildcats recorded 11 steals and four blocks for the second straight game. The Mustangs were 21-of-27 from the foul line, while K-State had trouble converting from the charity stripe, shooting 6-of-14.
K-State will face Virginia on Friday at 4:45 p.m. (CT), in its final game of the Junkanoo Jam. The game will be available on the K-State Sports Network and for free at kstatesports.com/allaccess. The Wildcats will return to Manhattan to host Grambling State on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. For tickets, contact the K-State Athletics ticket office at (800) 221-CATS or at kstatesports.com/tickets.

Buls, Condors, Turkeys - Poem by gershon hepner
Fights between a bull and condor
as in the Andes in Coyllurqui,
are ones of which I am no fonder
than those now being fought in Turkey
against those wishing to be sec-
ular by those who think it's heavenly
to act Islamically, and wreck
the aspirations of all people who
believe in being down-to-earth,
seeing the pro-heaven view
as worthy of merely of their mirth,
which since it cannot be expressed
by most in verse perhaps requires
a bull-v-condor-type contest
to extinguish lies and liars.
The truth to Islamists is murky,
but, fighting turkeys like a coward,
the secularists will be in Turkey
by bull-shit condors overpowered.
William Neuman ("Pitting Heaven and Earth in a Fierce Andean Rite, " NYT,8/10/13) writes:
It is not easy to tie a wild condor with a seven-foot wingspan and a sharp beak to the back of an enraged 1,000-pound bull.
"The bull and the condor are not animals that have, let's say, good relations, " said Luis Bocangel, who helped oversee the temporary joining of the two species last week at the annual celebration of what is known here as Yawar Fiesta, or Blood Festival.
"The bull is terrified of the condor, " said Mr. Bocangel, a brother of the town's mayor. "The condor is trying to peck at the bull's eyes."
Once the two are lashed together, they are released into a bullring to do battle against each other and a group of bullfighters, while thousands of people watch. It is the high point of this uniquely Andean festival, held here each year on July 29, the day after Peru's Independence Day, in this small town and a few others high in the mountains.
"The apu is the sacred bird of the Andes, " said the mayor, Walter Bocangel, using a word that means god in Quechua, the indigenous language spoken here.
Many here in this remote, impoverished town on a steep hillside around 10,300 feet, where the bright sky seems especially close, believe that the condor, one of the world's largest birds, has divine status.
"The juxtaposition of the condor and the bull represents the duality of the Andean world, between the celestial world and the earthly world, " said Juan Ossio, a professor of anthropology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, in Lima.
Professor Ossio, a former culture minister, says the bullfight corresponds to an Andean vision of the duality of the world that dates to pre-Columbian times. Joining the two, the condor and the bull, heaven and earth, he says, is a ritual that recreates the wholeness of the community.
Popular wisdom has it that the festival dates from the colonial period and was created as a way for the local indigenous people to express their anger at the Spanish conquerors: by placing the Andean condor on top of the Spanish bull they could, at least symbolically, subvert their subjugation.

Hi Nick, Thanks for stopping by! Regarding yourOct 2nd, 2010 | By Nancy Andrews | Category:
Comment posted If I want to lose weight, should I do the 'Classic' or 'Lean' P90X routines? by Coach Nancy.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for stopping by! Regarding your question I encourage you to think this way – it's the workout that should focus primarily on adding lean mass and your diet to bulk up or burn fat. Sure some cardio can help with fat burning but resistance training will burn more calories in the 24 – 48 hours following the workout than will cardio. And the lean mass you add will burn more calories 24/7. Moreover, if you workout intensively those resistance training sessions will burn the same calories as the other workouts with the exception of Plyo which you'll do during classic anyway.
I have a post on diet that you may find helpful at http://www.pressplayfitness.com/?p=2105.
In summary, do classic and you will lean up if you follow my diet guidelines. My husband did classic, did not even do all the cardio in the classic program and lost 50lbs while adding a lot of lean mass. He actually got so lean he added back on 5lbs so he didn't look quite so thin. You can see his transformation at http://www.pressplayfitness.com/?page_id=2079.
Coach Nancy also commented
- Hi Kishan,
Classic is always better than Lean no matter whether you want more fat loss or more muscle gain. Resistance training produces a greater change in your body from a hormonal standpoint which is good for both fat burning and muscle growth. Also high intensity training like resistance training (and plyo) will produce a much greater and longer lasting post workout calorie burn. That post workout metabolic increase is much more important than the calories you burn during a workout.
I recommend a good protein shake post workout as your body will be in an optimal state to shuttle the protein into your muscles. If you are looking to primarily grow muscles (versus burn fat) than adding a little carb into the shake is a good idea.
Coach Nancy
- Hi Laura,
Thanks for stopping by and joining the conversation!
First, Lean is nothing more than a glorified aerobics program which is not what you need. I am P90X certified (which means Beachbody says I can teach P90X to others) and in that training the instructor admitted what I've always known – that Lean is not a very effective version – that Classic is the one that works. I am actually a P90X certified instructor and during our training for our certification our instructors admitted what I have always known – Lean doesn't work nearly as well as Classic. So if you are serious about making changes, go with Classic.
As far as diet goes, I urge you to rethink your concerns. I'm not sure if you are losing any weight at 1300 calories but if you aren't then something is very wrong with your metabolism and adding in a lot of intense workouts won't fix it, it will make it worse. Secondly, even if you are losing a few pounds with 1300 calories, that doesn't mean you should stick to that level when adding in what can be 300 – 500 calories of exertion (and that's just during the exercise period – post exercise caloric expenditure will raise this even higher). You should follow my P90X diet guidelines (find a link to that article in the upper right hand column), not just for the calories recommended but for all the changes you need to make to your diet to see fat loss. At 1550 calories, you'd still be creating a net caloric deficit when you add in the P90X workouts. And you will be feeding your body what it needs for the metabolic changes to occur. Starving yourself to try to get a few extra pounds lost fast won't allow you to exert yourself at the maximum you need to bring to spark the metabolic changes you need to get change to occur. Weight loss is NOT a mathematical equation no matter how many times they try to imply that on shows like The Biggest Loser and women's fitness magazines.
Another key to success with P90X is that you need to focus on lifting as heavy as you can with good form during the resistance training components of the program. Do not listen to Tony when he suggests that women can lift light and do more reps for 'toning' – I know he knows better but I suspect he never expected women to really embrace the program. What works for men works for women – lift heavy and you challenge your central nervous system which then triggers hormonal changes. You won't bulk up – women only have at their height (when you are young) 1/12th the testosterone that men have which is the main hormone for muscle growth. So we need to work harder, not less hard to see changes. Push, push, push and you will see changes.
Finally, you need to focus on your shape, not your scale. Burning fat and adding a little muscle won't make as big a dent on your scale as it will in reshaping you. Take pictures before you begin and every 30 days and at least every other week take tape measurements. That's what is most important. Many people see their biggest scale movement at the last 30 days. And, you can and should do more than one round of P90X for maximum results. I saw significant results just on my first round although I only lost 15lbs. But I lost 19″ which is the big victory – not what showed on the scale. By the time I did P90X 3 times, I had a bikini body which I was (and continue to be) so proud of given I was over 50 when I first started P90X and post menopausal when I did the program (post menopause your body's hormones almost completely shut down so it's harder to produce the changes).
Good Luck!
Coach Nancy
- Hi Carmen,
You'll want to do Classic, not Lean. Classic works best to burn fat and add muscle which is what you need to shape up your abs and tone your arms. If you don't want to lose any weight, just eat more. Follow my P90X diet guidelines but start at 13x your weight for a daily calorie target.
Coach Nancy
- Hi Trina,
Right now I'm drinking BioChem Whey Protein Isolate which is really good tasting for an isolate and is from hormone free cattle. It's a bit more expensive than other brands but less pricey than the all natural raw whey I was taking before. I also use Garden of Life's Raw Protein – vanilla flavor which is a sprouted plant based protein but I have to warn anyone that it's a lot more chalky tasting than a good whey protein. After that, most brands of protein are fairly comparable. I like Myofusion and Optimum brands and at Walmart the Body Fortress brand has a pretty good tasting vanilla whey.
- Hi Amanda,
Congratulations on finishing week 1 and looking to move forward. Week 1 is the toughest. I have an article on how to eat for lean muscle growth and fat loss over at http://www.pressplayfitness.com/06/my-p90x-diet/. I'd recommend a few more calories – more in the range of 1650 – 1750. The article goes through what those calories should be made up of. Let me know if you have additional questions after you read the article. Thanks!

Hi Karen,
Thanks for stopping by and contributing. I think a LOT of us women have this issue but just don't think it's sub par health. I know I really had my eyes opened. It's funny that you mentioned the heat flash because that surprised me too. I thought for sure my temps would go up during on but they don't. I'm working on a follow up post now that will go into a bit further why most of my added calories have been from carbs.
- P90X Supplements or Insanity Supplements Do You Need Them?
Hi Wafik,
Iso Pure is a good whey protein isolate. Since it's an isolate, it's VERY quickly absorbed so it's best used right after a workout. I can't tell how muscular you are by weight and height but it doesn't matter if you are trying to lose body fat or increase muscle mass, the protein will help you do both. A rule of thumb is that you need 2 grams of protein per KG of weight if you are just trying to lean up and 3 grams per KG if you are trying to add mass for men. For women, it would be less at 1.5 grams per KG if you are going for lean and 2 grams of protein per KG if you are trying to add muscle.
Coach Nancy
- My P90X Diet
Hi AC,
On the Mike's mix stuff, if it's the 'mike' version (men's formula) don't take more than 1 scoop even though the label says a serving is 2 scoops. Remember that recovery drinks that are 4 to 1 in carbs to protein are best used after a resistance training workout and help shuttle amino acids into muscle. But the also will shut off fat burning which is why you don't want to take it after plyo, yoga or kenpo.
On the calories, I'd start with 1500 and see how you feel. With resistance training you want to be sure you get enough calories but the P90X nutrition guide calcs too many calories for women typically. Now if you are active on top of doing P90X (a runner for example) then you probably should go higher than 1500. But start there and see how you feel.
I can't believe you need to lose much body fat at you size which is what the fat shredder plan is aimed at. It's probably a toss up for you but again, if active, go higher with the carbs than 30% of total calories.
I'm no fan of the portion approach. While it's just my belief, I think that it's harder to stay on track with it and if you do get off, it's harder to figure out exactly what to change to get back on track.
Feel free to ask more questions!

Nigel Payne CEO of Sportingbet said, "The whole thing has been overblown. From where I am standing, volumes up 50% this year after being in business for seven years is something any company in any industry in any part of the world would want."
The company has seen its shares price plummet in the wake of a feared industry-wide bust, which has affected all the biggest online gambling companies like PartyGaming and Empire Online. However with Sportingbet's £40m profit from the last 12 months, of which the majority was generated by online poker, Mr Payne obviously feels that his company is in good financial shape.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - City Council candidates recently shared views on issues related to the expansion and care of horse trails, development, and business growth in the city.
At a candidates forum sponsored by the Alta Loma Riding Club were incumbents Chuck Buquet and Sam Spagnolo, and challengers Erick Jimenez, Jim Moffatt, Anthony Rice and Marc Steinorth.
Each candidate was asked a different question, which was preceded by introductory and closing remarks.
Councilman Chuck Buquet, who was appointed to fill Mayor Dennis Michael's council seat after the mayoral election of 2010, was asked whether the city should emphasize the need to think about businesses before the rest of the needs of the community.
Buquet said "not at all," but explained how the city is more reliant on sales taxes than property taxes.
"A key component relative to our city operations is revenue generated from sales tax and business in this community, so it's imperative that, in order for us to provide the amenities to be able to maintain these facilities and streets and all these wonderful things, that we have strong businesses, because that's what really helps underwrite the expense."
Jimenez, a Fed-Ex driver, was asked whether the city should consider developing a horse boarding and training facility operated by private contractors "so the general public can participate in this recreational activity."
Jimenez said the city could consider allowing a private entity to come in and develop a training facility that could benefit low-income kids who live in Rancho Cucamonga.
"Maybe we could get a program ... for the kids from the lower side of the city, kids who come from apartments who don't normally have contact with horses. Get a program like that for lower income kids so they can actually have access to horses. Not everybody can afford to keep a horse, especially with this economy. I think it would be a good idea to allow a private entity to come in and build more stables for horses so more people can have access to horses."
Cafe owner Moffatt was asked whether the city should provide additional resources toward maintenance for local feeder trails, which have suffered from litter and illegal encroachment, or rely on voluntary code compliance.
"I think it's very important that we use voluntary compliance because a lot of the trails today are not being maintained the way they should be and that additional expense is out of the question right now, with the economy the way it is," Moffatt said.
He added that the city should be a little bit more aware of code enforcement. I've had phone calls just last week that mentioned that code enforcement doesn't come out. I think we should work on that and have code enforcement to enforce the codes because throwing stuff over the fence is not solving any problems. It's creating the problems."
Small business owner Anthony Rice responded to a question of what priority the city should give to the deficiency of community and regional trails.
"I think it can be accomplished through private enterprise " Rice said. "I think that if there is demand for it, people want trails then a private entity should actually come in and provide that service. If there's not enough demand for it, then it shouldn't be paid for through taxpayer dollars. It should be done through private enterprise."
Spagnolo responded to a question regarding what the city's role should be in providing the public with information and safety on the city's trail system.
"There's a couple of areas that the city has been very active in and one of them's been traffic safety and the `Look, Look, Look' program which has been very good with safe routes to school," Spagnolo said.
"Partnering up with the active trail user groups, the city can use traditional methods of disseminating information. As of late we work with all the other cities within the trail system, we utilize the poles to identify trail markers, so in case of emergencies where people are stuck out there and don't know where they are, they go to a pole marker and the 911 operator is able to identify where they are."
Steinorth, who owns an advertising company, responded to a question of whether he would protect open space in the city.
"I personally think that as a member of council, one of our biggest things is to preserve our cultural history and preserve our surroundings around us," Steinorth said.
"As I understand, people say we're 85 percent built out. There's some beautiful areas that I'd be reluctant to see built out. Those are the crown jewels of what's remaining of Rancho Cucamonga's history, and it's really what's made us one of the most attractive cities in the area. Going forward I understand that development is necessary. Development moves us forward. It's just a steady drumbeat, but it needs to be sustainable development. It needs to be recognizable development."

"Location, location, location" may be the mantra for real estate tycoons. But according to a panel of experts on location-based services, the same mantra holds true for the future of cell phones and mobile computers.
Panelists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during a recent Emerging Technologies Conference described a future where nothing ever gets lost and your SUV always knows the coordinates of the gas station with the cheapest prices on super unleaded.
Today most computers lack the ability to interact with the surrounding environment. But this is changing. All new cell phones sold in the United States must carry geographical positioning technology accurate to about 300 feet. Companies at the panel called "The Revolution in Location Aware Computing" hope to bring location accuracy down to within three inches and promise to deliver everything from traffic reports to find-a-date services to precise information on your child's whereabouts.
"Many of these applications exist today," Hari Balakrishnan, an MIT computer scientist, told attendees. "But there are real obstacles hindering widespread adoption."
Location-based services typically use location information derived from cellular phone networks, which is not very precise. Other services use GPS (global positioning satellite) information, which is more precise, but its weak signals make location detection unworkable inside buildings, cities, and even in a dense forest.
Going Beyond the GPS Barrier
Balakrishnan is part of the MIT development team that works on an indoor location system called Cricket that can accurately locate an object to within an inch of its location. Cricket relies on sensors placed throughout a building to track objects with electronic beacons. Cricket systems today are used inside hospitals for tracking equipment and patients. In the future, Cricket could help robots smoothly navigate a building without ever bumping into a wall.
For cities where tall buildings can mute GPS signals, a firm called Rosum uses broadcast television signals and GPS technology to locate people on city streets or deep inside buildings. "GPS just doesn't work effectively inside," said panelist Matthew Rabinowitz, founder of Rosum.
Rosum's so-called TV-GPS technology works by exploiting the television synchronization signals broadcast by VHF and UHF frequencies. This complicated process takes advantage of broadcast signals' ability to penetrate deep inside buildings and can pinpoint TV-GPS-enabled devices with accuracy up to 65 feet.
Location Privacy Barrier
Obstacles to the proliferation of location-aware computers are as much social as they are technological, said Mark Jacobstein, president of Digital Chocolate, a developer of software for mobile phones.
"There are no killer applications that are driving this technology today," Jacobstein said. He explained that, aside from GPS navigational systems for cars and asset tracking, there are no "must-have" location-aware services.
Digital Chocolate works primarily with cell phone manufacturers who make mobile games for cell phones. But the company says its first location-aware software app, called StarGazer, will be released soon. StarGazer, a mobile application that knows geographically where your phone is, also can display an image of the night sky on a cell phone's display, which could help wannabe astronomers identify constellations and planets.
Once a critical mass of people have cell phones equipped with more precise location information, Jacobstein said, he hopes to bring a find-a-friend and a find-a-date application to cell phones so you can tell where your friends or lonely singles are on a Saturday night.
"People are paranoid that computers that know where you are can turn against you," Rabinowitz said. Social obstacles to location-aware computers mainly surround privacy issues where people are concerned their movements will be tracked by Big Brother. It also is possible that location services they could be used by stalkers and child abductors as well as by those wanting to legitimately locate a spouse or a child.
Panelists unanimously dismissed privacy concerns, citing the fact that criminals will stalk and abduct with or without GPS technology. "The benefits of being able to pinpoint things precisely easily outweigh the negatives," Jacobstein said. The speakers also agreed that devices with tracking technology should have an on/off switch to disable tracking.
Paranoia Equals Profits
For one panelist, Matthew Gray, founder of Newbury Networks, paranoia translates into location awareness profits. The company, which specializes in Wi-Fi network security for businesses, can locate and block network access by unauthorized computers. Gray told the audience how he was able to access a local coffeehouse's free Wi-Fi network from his office. "I don't want our employees accidentally using the coffeehouse's network or vice versa," Gray said. Gray argued that asset tracking of things like cargo containers and the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System are already a multimillion dollar industry. "Security is the killer application," he said.
For most consumers, however, location-based services are years away from becoming a reality, the panelists agreed. The technology is too nascent and expensive for most consumers. At the moment, panelists say, those people are still looking for the right thing, the right time, and the right place.

Paternity Fraud?
The Supreme Court of Iowa issued an interesting opinion last week regarding a putative fathers' ability to bring a paternity fraud action against a biological mother to obtain reimbursement for payments that were voluntarily made. The case before the Court involved two parties who were never married - Joseph O. Dier and Cassandra Jo Peters. Ms. Peters gave birth to a child in February of 2009. Although she knew Mr. Dier was not the biological father, she nonetheless told him that he was. Based on Ms. Peters' representations, Mr. Dier provided financial support for the child. He also filed an application to establish custody of the minor child. Concerned she would lose custody of the child, Ms. Peters requested a paternity test. Paternity testing excluded Mr. Dier as the biological father. Mr. Dier subsequently filed a petition for reimbursement from Ms. Peters for monies "expended to the Defendant, monies for the minor child, and monies expended in custody litigation." Mr. Dier's petition was ultimately dismissed by the District Court. On appeal; however, the Supreme Court found that his petition should not have been dismissed and that Mr. Dier could pursue recovery of money provided to Ms. Peters or spent for the benefit of the minor child (assuming he was not under a court order to make the payments), but not attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the prior custody litigation.

Bozeman, Mont. • Montana State football coach Rob Ash says wide receiver Tanner Roderick is out for about six weeks with a hand injury suffered in Saturday's game at SMU.
Roderick transferred to MSU from Nevada, where he was recruited as a quarterback, and has caught four passes in MSU's two games this season. He is also the holder on extra points.
The injury was diagnosed Tuesday.
Ash says sophomore receiver Mitch Griebel will assume Roderick's duties as holder. Roderick's replacement on the depth chart at receiver will be announced Saturday.
MSU also lost starting quarterback DeNarius McGhee for several weeks after he suffered a separated shoulder in the SMU game. Officials have said he'll be out until sometime next month.
Ash has said Jake Bleskin will start at quarterback in MSU's home game against Colorado Mesa on Saturday.

Beer and Cheer: Ska Brewing's Euphoria
Euphoria - This hop-happy beer in a can is a crowd pleaser, with its bitterly delicious dollop of hops delivered cold and crisp from aluminum rather than glass.
Similar to the Celebration Ale in style, this beer more closely resembles a American style IPA along the lines of Dale's Pale Ale or Great Divide's Titan IPA. It is gratifying and delicious and you can take it sledding without worrying about glass breakage.

GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico (AP) -- Maryland coach Brenda Frese has been happy with the progress of her guards so far this season.
Freshman Lexie Brown scored a season-high 16 points and Brene Moseley had 12 points and nine assists in No. 8 Maryland's 84-60 rout of Ohio in the San Juan Shootout on Friday. Moseley had 18 assists over the two games of the tournament.
''I was really proud how we kept up our level of play on short rest from yesterday,'' Frese said. ''It was great to see Lexie and Brene score as well as distribute. Just proud of how we got down to business when we needed to this weekend. Lexie is a player and we've known that since she was 15. She wants the ball and we're starting to see that really consistently. She can score and distribute and it's just great to have so many options.''
Alyssa Thomas had 13 points and 10 rebounds while Malina Howard had 13 points for the Terrapins (7-1).
Maryland trailed 14-11 early on before taking over with a 26-5 run. The Terrapins led 44-25 at the half.
The Terrapins' next game is at home against Ohio State in the ACC/Big Ten challenge on Wednesday night.
Lexie Baldwin and Kiyanna Black each scored 12 points to lead the Bobcats (3-3).

Another LSU game and another highlight-making big play by cornerback Tyrann Mathieu.
It what has become practically a weekly occurrence, the sophomore from New Orleans made a defensive or special teams play that created points for the Tigers.
Mathieu sacked Kentucky's Maxwell Smith, causing a fumble, picked up the football and ran 23 yards for a back-breaking touchdown in a 35-7 rout of the Wildcats on Saturday in Tiger Stadium. Mathieu's school-record ninth forced fumble and subsequent touchdown gave LSU a 28-0 lead midway through the third quarter.
"We had a strong-side blitz on and it was just a matter of me sneaking up to the line of scrimmage and luckily the quarterback had no clue about me coming," Mathieu said. "It was really just about me getting my hands on the ball."
For a guy who doesn't play offense, Mathieu sure gets his hands on the ball a lot. Last week in a 47-21 victory at West Virginia he tipped a pass by Geno Smith, grabbed the football and ran 16 yards to the Mountaineers 1, setting up a touchdown that gave the Tigers a 27-7 halftime lead.
Earlier in the game, Mathieu ripped the ball out of a receiver's hand for his record-tying forced fumble and another recovery.
In the season opener against Oregon, Mathieu knocked the ball loose from a punt returner, picked the ball up and ran into the end zone for a touchdown that jump-started LSU's 40-27 victory.
"Everybody thrives on that, not just me," Mathieu said. "When I make a big play, everybody wants to make a big play. It's really just about us jelling together as a unit and having everybody's back."
Mathieu's series of big plays just continues a trend he started as a true freshman last season. In 18 career games he has eight forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and four interceptions.
"If you're an LSU fan, you've been seeing this now since he was a freshman last year," ABC analyst Kirk Herbstreit said during last week's telecast of the LSU-West Virginia game. "College football needs to pay attention to No. 7 of LSU. He's one of the most dynamic playmakers in ALL of college football. He has that sixth sense to make plays. I don't know how he does it; he's always there to make plays."
Mathieu has yet to strike a Heisman pose like last year's No. 7 at LSU — cornerback/punt returner Patrick Peterson — did after a punt return for a touchdown. But his big plays have already put his name in the conversation.
ESPN analyst Andre Ware said during Saturday's telecast that anyone who has a Heisman Trophy ballot, would have to be "crazy" not to consider Mathieu.
"I don't go out on a limb talking Heisman in October," Ware said, "but that's how impressed I am."
Mathieu, though, seems to have a hard time impressing himself. He said he goes into every game expecting to score, even though he has yet to score this season in what would figure to be the most likely way – on a punt return.
"There's a certain expectation that you have to set for yourself," he said. "There's a certain swagger that you have to have every day, every play. It's just about me going out there and laying it on the line for my team. It's just a personal thing. It's a pride thing."

Surrendering the right to a fair trial
Page Tools
The case of David Hicks has become a test of our regard for the rule of law.
There is something almost pathetic - and deeply troubling - about the Australian Government's willingness to accept the assurances of the Bush Administration despite all evidence to the contrary. For nearly four years, the Government has recited US assurances that Australians held at Guantanamo Bay would get a fair trial from a specially constituted military commission - while almost everyone else has come to a completely different conclusion. When detainee Mamdouh Habib was released without charge in January, another Australian, David Hicks, who had been charged, remained in US military detention.
Hicks' preliminary hearing was enough to convince most observers he could not get a fair trial. When his lawyers said so, the Government dismissed it as a defence tactic. When the Australian Law Council, American Bar Association, international legal bodies and human rights groups said it, they were ignored. Now leaked emails show even US military prosecutors thought the Pentagon was set to "prosecute fairly low-level accused in a process that appears to be rigged". The charges were "marginal". The structure and rules of the military commission meant trials could not be fair. The head of Australia's military bar, Captain Paul Willee, has taken the unusual step of endorsing those concerns.
Britain insisted long ago that its detained citizens be repatriated. US citizens were tried in civilian courts. Still the Howard Government is willing to accept that a process that was not good enough for US or British citizens is good enough for an Australian. Attorney-General Philip Ruddock argues that if the commission does not try Hicks, "he would go free without answering in any way to those allegations", because he had not broken any Australian law when he was captured by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and handed over to US forces. Yet, as Mr Ruddock has said, a number of Australians were among "many thousands of people who travelled to Afghanistan in particular to undertake terrorist training" before September 11 - and they remain free.
The Government is now relying on an in-house Pentagon review that found no legal or ethical problems with Hicks' case. But a greater problem confronts nations that fail to apply the rule of law equally to all citizens. In a recent debate on the treatment of detainees, leading US Republican John McCain was confronted by the catch-all justification "they are terrorists". The senator, a decorated combat veteran, replied that the debate "is not about who they are, it's about who we are". Australia's attitude to David Hicks offers a disturbing insight into the vulnerability of our own democratic values.

Singapore provides 'sticker shock' experiences
The Biker's Diary
By Dr. Jan Meyer
Tuesday, April 10, 2012 8:40 AM
Dr. Jan Meyer and Spouse Roger enjoy a Singapore Sling at Raffles.
Every winter when we are in Thailand, we like to go somewhere where at least Spouse Roger, if not both of us, has not been before. So for this year's side trip, we chose Singapore. I have been there several times, and it is a place that I knew he would enjoy seeing, so about three weeks into this last Thailand visit, off we went.
Singapore is very impressive in many ways. It is likely the world's cleanest city, and a lot of effort goes into keeping it that way. There are strict fines - which are actually enforced - for littering. And even though we did spot a tiny bit of litter here and there, it is still incredibly clean.
One of the many laws which keep this city so clean and efficient is the ban on chewing gum; it was explained to me many years ago that if people don't chew gum, they are not going to throw the wrappers around or have the used gum end up on the bottom of someone's shoes. It makes sense to me, especially since I have long thought that seeing anyone chew gum is a very unattractive sight.
Our first afternoon there was spent with two friends who drove us all over and took us walking through the old Chinese part of town. Singapore has been so modernized that not many of the old buildings remain, so that old section was high on my list of what we needed to visit.
Friend Dennis explained a lot of other things that make Singapore so unique. One of those was the electronic signs in every section of the "downtown," listing how many parking spaces were currently available in that area and where they were. That likely helps to keep traffic flowing very smoothly and we never saw any traffic tie-ups at all. We did not have to hunt for parking spaces.
In the early evening, we got to watch as Dennis taught a dancing class, something he does several times a week at various community centers around town. He is a champion Latin dancer, and watching this group of about 20 go through their paces was amazing. It was clearly an advanced class and, in the hour and a half that we observed, they added two or three new patterns to the routine they were learning. I was impressed that they could remember such complicated steps, and so many different ones within the same song. It became very clear to me why Dennis wins so many competitions in Latin dancing.
After the dancing class, we went to dinner with Dennis's parents, two brothers and two friends. The venue was a very traditional Chinese restaurant, next to a parking lot atop a tall building, and it was clear that the family goes there often. His parents remembered World War II, and during dinner told about some of their adventures back then in Singapore.
Because we were guests of someone else on that first day, we had not yet experienced Singapore prices. But since Dennis was leaving on a business trip the next day, and our other Singapore friends were at work, we were on our own. And starting with breakfast, we were in sticker shock. We soon realized how fortunate it was that we were only staying three days, and needless to say we scouted for a less expensive place to have breakfast the next day.
Singapore is both a city and a country, and so small that it does not have a lot of natural sights to lure tourists. So, it has created a tourism industry, and we saw a lot of it, made very easy by the Hop On buses. Courtesy of Singapore Airlines for its passengers, we just showed the driver a sticker identifying us as such, and we could jump on and off the bus at will for the duration of our stay in Singapore.
We had a map of the bus route, including what sites there were at each stop. In addition, a recording served as an on-board guide, giving information about each upcoming location. There is never a long wait, as a bus comes by each stop every 20 minutes. We planned ahead for which places we wanted to visit and we spent a whole day hopping on and off.
It is a tradition that anyone who visits Singapore must go to the historic Raffles Hotel, duck into the Long Bar and enjoy a Singapore Sling. Of course we did that, and the cost was only slightly less than that of breakfast. But, as Spouse Roger said, "Just accept it."
My favorite stop was at the incredible botanical gardens. The place was huge and had different types of gardens with a lot of walking paths. We hopped off there in the mid-afternoon and soon realized that those gardens deserved a whole day of our time. Unfortunately, we did not have a whole day left.
Another interesting stop was the Singapore Hard Rock Café, which I suggested because Spouse Roger had never visited a Hard Rock venue before. There we talked with one of the employees who lives in Malaysia, and drives two hours each direction from there to Singapore for work. He says there are no jobs in Malaysia and feels fortunate to have had this job for a few years. He was very good at what he does, and I am sure that earns him above-average tips. In addition, as Dennis proudly told us, Singapore allows no unions (and no protests or "Occupy" scenes), so this fellow was spared paying union dues.
We weathered the sticker shock, got another country stamp in our passports, saw a good friend, met his family, saw the sites and had a good time. Not bad for three short days.

The attenuated live
In the quest for an efficient vaccine against TB, most strategies rely on the improvement of BCG by replacing it with other recombinant strains of attenuated mycobacteria or on prime-boost immunization protocols. The latter are based on attempts to enhance/boost previously BCG-induced immunity with subunit vaccines based on immunodominant antigens, either as viral-vectors, such as AdAg85A and MVA85A, or as recombinant fusion proteins from
Plasmid DNA-based vaccines are another class of promising sub-unit vaccines that can be used in the context of novel TB vaccines to generate MHC Class I and II-restricted immune responses [

Sera of vaccinated mice were collected at the time of immune analysis. Levels of specific antibodies in individual sera were determined by ELISA. For that purpose, 96-well plates were coated overnight with the specific recombinant protein at 500 ng/well in borate buffer. Adsorption sites were saturated during 1 h with 5% skimmed milk in PBS. Serial two-fold dilutions of sera were added for 2 h. Then, a peroxidase-labelled secondary rat anti-murine IgG (LO-MK-1 for IgG, purchased at Experimental Immunology Unit, Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium) was added for 1.5 h. Plates were developed following the same protocol used for cytokine detection, as previously described.

In order to find out whether the BCG/pDNA-PPE44 combination could affect the responses specific to antigens expressed by BCG other than PPE44, spleen cells were stimulated with two other BCG antigens, recombinant PstS-3 (Rv0928) and recombinant Ag85A (Rv3804c), or BCG culture filtrate. PstS-3 is one of the three putative phosphate transport receptors of
Mycobacteria-specific IFN-γ responses against non plasmid-encoded, but BCG-expressed, antigens after BCG/pDNA co-vaccination. IFN-γ (pg/mL) was measured by ELISA in 72 h culture supernatant of spleen cells cultured with mycobacterial recombinant proteins PstS-3 and Ag85A, BCG culture filtrate (BCG CF) and with recombinant PPE44 (
In order to find out more about the bystander activation observed in the BCG/pDNA-PPE44 group, mice were vaccinated with a combination of BCG and a plasmid DNA encoding an unrelated, non-mycobacterial antigen,
Total anti-PPE44 and anti-OVA IgG levels were measured in sera (

BCG improvement strategies are needed and under analysis for the development of a more efficient tuberculosis vaccine. Th1-type responses are essential in anti-tuberculosis protection, but CD8+ T-cell responses also play a very important role, particularly in the protection against reactivation of a latent tuberculosis infection [
We have described a new BCG/pDNA co-vaccination protocol that is effective in inducing significantly higher CD4+ Th1 and IFN-γ producing/cytolytic CD8+ T-cell responses in C57BL/6 mice as compared to animals immunized with BCG alone or in a combination with a non-coding pDNA vector. As a prototype antigen, we used the PPE44 (Rv2770c) antigen, a putative virulence factor of
An antigen dose effect could be partially responsible for the increased PPE44-specific responses, as this protein is relatively weakly expressed in BCG [
A strong bystander activation was observed with the BCG/pDNA-PPE44 protocol, resulting in higher responses also to other BCG-expressed antigens. Furthermore, this bystander activation was observed in mice vaccinated with the BCG/pDNA-OVA combination, but not in mice vaccinated with the BCG/control pDNA, suggesting that antigen-specific cytokine responses were elicited
Besides the bystander activation caused by the plasmid DNA boosters, BCG also exerted adjuvant effects on the plasmid DNA-induced responses. Thus, OVA-specific IFN-γ titers were higher in BCG/pDNA-OVA than in pDNA-OVA vaccinated mice, although both groups had received the same plasmid dose three times. Differences in administration route,
BCG is routinely administered by the intradermal route, and we have confirmed here that this route can also be used for plasmid DNA vaccines [
In conclusion, this study has given a proof of principle that the routine BCG immunization protocol could be improved by formulating BCG with pDNA vaccines encoding protective

Washington, DC–Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid today announced that Andrew Fois has joined the Senate Democratic Communications Center as Staff Director. Fois brings his years of political management experience to the successful media operation, taking responsibility for all communications activities, long term planning, policy and outreach coordination.
Fois brings nearly 20 years experience in policy, politics, and press. A frequent TV and radio political analyst, Fois has been Assistant Attorney General in the Clinton White House, Chief Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center. Most recently he served as a Senior Fellow at Globalsecurity.org, a national security think tank.
"I opened the Senate Democratic Communications Center to ensure that all Americans – from my hometown of Searchlight to our nation's biggest cities – learn how America can do better than the current policies and priorities of Republicans in Washington. The office has had an extremely successful first year, and I'm confident that Andy's incredible talent and experience will only improve our ability to get the truth out to the American people," said Reid.
Senator Reid opened the Senate Democratic Communications Center at the start of the 109th Congress to provide a visible and vocal platform for Democrats to communicate with the American people. Fois takes charge of a media operation that has proven critical to unifying Senate Democrats under Reid's leadership.
Current Staff Director Jim Manley moves into to a more public role, serving as Chief Spokesman and Senior Communications Advisor to Senator Reid and the rest of the caucus.

Top Small Business Uses for Hashtags
Hashtags seem to be everywhere these days. Now they're on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and a host of other social networks. Basically, a hashtag enables people on social networks to quickly find conversations about a topic they're interested in. So if you were on Twitter and tweeted #surefirelocal, you'd be able to click on the hashtag and see all of the conversations about #surefirelocal. They're also searchable, which is handy for people who want to jump into a conversation about a particular topic.
Hashtag Rules for Beginners
Anyone can create a hashtag—as long as they follow a couple basic rules. First, the hashtag can contain multiple words but no spaces. #thisisanexampleofahashtag Also, as you can see, all hashtags must begin with a # symbol. The best hashtags are easily remembered and understood. As a general rule, it's best to keep it to fewer than two hashtags per post; otherwise it may be difficult for people to read and understand.
How Hashtags Can Improve Your Social Media Marketing
Although most local marketing experts have at least some idea of what a hashtag is, some small businesses are still unsure about how to use them. Hashtags are an easy—and free—way to target and connect with your audience through social media.
Connect with Other Influencers
On Fridays, try using the #FollowFriday hashtag on Twitter to recognize people and organizations that provide useful online content. With any luck, they'll thank you for the #FollowFriday, and they may even give you a #FollowFriday shout out, too. Just include the person's username and #FF or #FollowFriday in your post.
Hold Twitter Contests
Contests on Twitter take some planning, but they can definitely be worthwhile. Facebook's rules for contests are more stringent, so be sure to review them before you start a Facebook contest. If you hold a contest on Twitter, people can use a specific hashtag to enter the contest, which enables you as the local social media marketing manager to keep track of the entries.
Host a Chat
Hashtags keep conversations organized on Twitter. Some of your customers may be interested in chatting with your business about a particular topic. You can even use your website, blog, and social media networks to announce the date and time of your chat, and to let people know which hashtag to follow.
Use Hashtags with Your Own Content
If you use an appropriate hashtag with your post, more people are likely to see the original content that you post- a win for any business looking to expand its online reach.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
In brief – super violent, misogynistic, homophobic, white guy hip-hop act just announced they were Christian evangelicals and this was all part of their plan.
Violent J explained himself unapologetically to a New Jersey newspaper: "You have to speak their language. You have to interest them, gain their trust, talk to them and show you're one of them. You're a person from the street and you speak of your experiences. Then at the end you can tell them: God has helped me."
Of course, one might argue that 20 years was, under the circumstances, an incredibly long time for them to have pretended to be unholy, and that, from a Christian perspective, the harm they did while feigning unholiness may even have outweighed the greater good.
Oddly, this relates to a conversation I had with Brett Cook (we need to interview him by the way) that any compromise was not worth it. The making a deal for the broader good concept will never work. This is an extreme example of that idea – which I should articulate better.

gonna post my favorite sticker in honor of page 200
yeah Earl, dude was mad nice from what i remember
i like the Pill theme Stolen, haha dope.
well, i don't know what you started from, a sketch or an image you got online or something, but try to follow that as closely as you can and be very mindful of the fact that the only things that are going to show up are the pieces your cutting out.
my first stencil was the cheshire cat, i sketched the face off the Alice in Wonderland dvd box haha.
taping it to the surface might help.
things like how far away to hold the can, you can figure out by practicing on cardboard or something that won't get seen or that you can throw away if it turns out bad.
here's the link for 50 mm LA but their battle board is currently down according to the site, and they're accepting donations to get it up again haha.
VS is vandalsquad.com
thx alot
stolen go to banksy.com then go to help.he'll tell you stencil tips
not to be a dick, earl
and while that's definitely a good start on the super 3d style, and the E is pretty insane structurally in my opinion, you might want to practice more before drawing on stickers.
that might have a better place in toy story, once again, i'm not trying to discourage you.
p.s. i don't draw on stickers cuz i'm just not good enough. stencils though, i'm better at those.
kotton ,could you help me, give me some tips on stickers/stencils, ok, ive tried making stencils, it didnt really turn out. do you have any tips for trying to make stencils, like what parts to cut out, what part to keep, to get a realistic look to it, like your doughboy for example, how did you decide where to cut out, etc etc etc. help is truly appreciated. thanks.

Services for Honors Students
Borrowing privileges
Lafayette honors students may borrow books over the summer and have academic year-long borrowing privileges throughout their honors year. (Regular loan periods still apply for videos, browsing collection books, etc.) If you are not automatically granted these extended borrowing privileges when checking out a book at the circulation desk, please alert the circulation staff that you are an honors student so that the library can update its system for the duration of your honors status.
Materials purchasing
In most cases, the library is able to purchase materials that you will need ongoing access to for your research (in fact, the library often prefers purchasing a book than filling multiple Interlibrary Loan requests for the same book). You can suggest books for purchase by filling out our online form. If you need ongoing access to expensive or rare materials, please consult a reference librarian.
Research assistance
Lafayette students registered for honors can use this research assistance form to request a consultation session with a librarian. The more information you provide, the better we can prepare for our meeting with you. You can expect us to contact you within a few days of submitting the form. Librarians are happy to meet with you the semester before your thesis year and multiple times throughout the year.
RefWorks is a web-based application that enables you to create a personalized database of bibliographic references and automatically format those references into a bibliography in your preferred citation style that you can access here. References can be imported from many online databases. Many honors students have found RefWorks invaluable for keeping track of and managing their citations throughout the year. Watch out for postings of occasional RefWorks workshops or contact a reference librarian at email@example.com for an individual RefWorks tutorial.
Collection of past honors theses
Theses written by Lafayette students in years past are kept in Special Collections and College Archives on the second floor of Skillman Library and are available for use whenever Special Collections is open. (During the academic year, hours are 10:00-noon and 1:00-5:00, Monday through Friday.) Information about the honors theses in Special Collections is available in the Library Catalog. Search by author, title, or, for a list of theses written in a certain department, perform a keyword search for Lafayette and thesis and [department name], e.g. Lafayette and thesis and chemistry.

Slowly, food is gaining political salience. Progress can only be measured in teaspoons, but yesterday, the Scottish administration announced universal free dinners for the first three years of primary school, while a smaller pilot, worth about £14m, will be introduced in some English local authorities next year. And at the end of this year the ban on advertising fast food on TV watched predominately by children is finally fully implemented. Meanwhile, the patron saint of school dinners, Jamie Oliver, has returned to Rotherham, where in the notorious contraband chips incident two years ago mothers subverted his healthy-eating scheme. Once again he is scandalised, this time by how many people have never learned to cook. It is all progress. But it will take a lot more teaspoons before it is widely accepted that there is more than education and income shaping the food choices that people make.
The long-term solution is to tackle the food and farming industries, which, through a lethal blend of subsidy and sales strategy, distort our choices in favour of food that is artificially cheap and tasty but nutritionally nasty. First, as our correspondent Felicity Lawrence argued powerfully earlier this week, it has to be recognised that diet has always been partly about class. In particular, the white working class has a long tradition of eating badly that was only fleetingly interrupted by second world war rationing (even now, research suggests that poor black Britons eat better than their white neighbours). It is true that too many of us too often eat high salt and fat ready-meals - far more than anywhere else in Europe. But what really counts is the class-based nutritional gap seen in the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables. That is about local availability, high costs, low incomes and tradition, a poisonous mix most lethally reflected in health inequalities and life expectancy, but also in low educational attainment, for example, and ability to concentrate. Bad diet is both symptom and cause of poverty.
As the Scottish government has realised, universal free school dinners are a powerful place to start challenging this cycle. Until it lost control in 2006, Hull's Labour council provided breakfast, healthy snacks and dinners. According to the final assessment, it improved behaviour and learning, while raising the children's awareness of healthy eating and their willingness to tackle unfamiliar dishes. It also raised school meal take-up from around 40% to over 60%, and ended the stigma attached to free school meals, which in turn made a "significant impact" on cutting disadvantage, all for barely 1% of the authority's education budget. It even made people feel good about their council.

I came with a theory a long time ago... every guy is a player its just a matter of the game. Most of the guys that women think of as players are basketball players. They try to use their moves to get down and put the ball in the hole as often as possible. Some are football... they work down the field trying to overcome agressive defense to split the uprights. One friend of mine when I told him this theory said he was a gofish player. He would find what they were collecting and be that. I am a chess player. I try to start out slow work for position and I hope to end up in mate... most people don't realize the board is set and I end up polishing a bishop waiting
Most people say they are looking for chemistry, I was never good at chemistry... besides, its better to have physics. Mutual attraction between bodies that strengthens as they draw near, friction, heat, light. Gazing at the stars and watching the planets. Physics.

SiteCatalyst 15 looks fairly similar to SiteCatalyst 14, but beyond the obvious platform improvements (e.g., segmentation, unlimited subrelations, etc.) it does contain a number of features that can be easy to miss but which either save users a lot of time/frustration or enhance the analysis that you can do in the tool. Today I'm going to share five things that I would advise all users of SiteCatalyst 15, both newbies and veterans, to consider trying out.

Sydney's Australian Fashion Week will clash with the Melbourne Fashion Festival in 2013.
American owner of the Sydney trade event, IMG Fashion, said today that it would move Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia from its usual slot in April/May to the last week of March, bringing it into conflict with the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival's proposed dates of March 21 to 28 next year.
Graeme Lewsey, director of LMFF reacted angrily to the clash.
"It's ludicrous to put the two biggest fashion events in the country in one week," he fumed.
"This is going to impact designers, sponsors, models, everyone. Maybe it's an American conglomerate trying to get a piece of the action? We've sat proudly in March for 10 years and you have to remember we (LMFF) are not-for-profit and we re-invest in the industry here."
IMG said it had surveyed "influential fashion designers and industry professionals" to arrive at its new dates which it says bring MBFWA in line with international fashion sales, production and delivery cycles.
Mr Lewsey however, said he and other industry power-brokers including representatives of Westfield (heavily involved as sponsor of the last LMFF) were not consulted.
"I got a call yesterday about the dates," he said. "Then the announcement just came today."
In his role as marketing manager for IMG Fashion in Sydney before taking over as director of LMFF in Melbourne, Mr Lewsey said he had heard several industry professionals suggest June as a better alternative month for MBFWA to solve its problem of being out-of-sync with fashion's international calendar.
"June being the best month for cruise and resort collections," he said. "And, Australia could own that."
The Age contacted Jarrad Clark, IMG's global production director for a response but received only a statement that ignored Mr Lewsey's concerns.
"The date change is just one of IMG Fashion's initiatives to best serve the Australian fashion industry," his statement said.
"After in-depth conversations with all key stakeholders in the industry, moving Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia to coincide with the buying cycle was necessary to continue delivering the best business outcomes for designers and attending buyers."
Mr Lewsey said the calendar clash could damage the Melbourne festival's planning and its recent status as a "beacon of hope and aspiration" in bleak times for the Australian Fashion Industry.
"Why on earth would you put the two events so close together and ruin that?"

Charles Nuttall was born in 1872 in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy and was a well-known illustrator and cartoonist, whose work appeared in books, postcards and publications such as the Bulletin. He began work on Opening of First Federal Parliament by HRH the Duke of Cornwall & York on 19 August 1901, setting up a studio in the Exhibition Building. He commented in 1905, "It was a somewhat fearsome work, involving endless trouble, a tremendous amount of labour, and a great deal of running about." In his large painting (almost 4 by 2.3 metres) he sought to communicate the grand scale of the event. The painting has an unusual sepia tone, adopted by Nuttall partly due to his colourblindness.
Following his brief to represent as many 'heads' as possible, among the vast crowd he included 344 recognisable portraits of local and international dignitaries. To achieve this, he organised sittings of the various subjects so that he could make sketches. He said of these sittings: "Posing is not as easy as it looks. It is largely a matter of nerves and effects people in different ways. Mr Barton [the Prime Minister] was restless and irritable but finally settled down and sat well; Mr Reid promptly went to sleep, and only consented to sit seriously when I threatened to publish a sketch I made during his nap."
In 1905, Nuttall travelled to America, where he worked as a staff artist for the New York Times and contributed to other publications. He returned in 1910 and continued to paint and draw, as well as write for books and magazines.
Reproductions of Charles Nuttall's painting in photogravure (an early form of print-making, involving etching on plates), the largest ones then on record, were made by Goupil et Cie in France. Reproductions were sold with the slogan "No Australian Home will be complete without a Copy". For the next 50 years, the painting was the predominant image of Federation, hanging in many homes, public buildings, schools and libraries. It was expected that the painting would hang in the main hall of the Federal Parliament but it returned to the Exhibition Building. Unfortunately, the painting was somehow forgotten; it was neglected in the basement and became extensively damaged by damp. In the early 1980s, conservator Amam Siddique and his team spent two years restoring the painting. The reproductions provided valuable information for the repainting of missing sections.

U.S. President Barack Obama
With oil and gas prices at the pump on his mind, President Barack Obama says Congress should kill tax breaks for the oil and gas industry and help develop alternative sources of energy.
Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address that he expected Congress to consider in the next few weeks ending US$4 billion in tax subsidies, a move he has failed to persuade lawmakers to make during his term. He said the vote would put them on record on whether they "stand up for oil companies" or "stand up for the American people."
"They can either place their bets on a fossil fuel from the last century or they can place their bets on America's future," Obama said.
Industry officials and many Republicans in Congress contend that cutting the tax breaks would lead to higher fuel prices, raising costs on oil companies and affecting their investments in exploration and production. The measure is considered a long shot, given that Obama couldn't end the subsidies when Democrats controlled Congress earlier in his term.
Republican presidential candidates have accused Obama of delaying drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico and in a national wildlife refuge in Alaska and faulted him for not advancing the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. They have also criticized policies pursued by the Environmental Protection Agency as inhibiting energy development.
Obama said there is no quick fix to high gas prices, which climbed to US$3.83 on Friday according to AAA, but he pushed back against critics who say he is opposed to more drilling. He said the U.S. is producing more oil than at any time in the past eight years and has quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs.
"If we're truly going to make sure we're not at the mercy of spikes in gas prices every year, the answer isn't just to drill more, because we're already drilling more," Obama said. He said his administration was trying to develop wind and solar power, biofuels and usher in more fuel-efficient vehicles to make the nation less dependent on oil.
