For the first time in 87 years, Illinois football will return to Wrigley Field. The Nov. 20 game against Northwestern is a rematch of a 29-0 victory by the Illini and star Red Grange there in 1923 after Northwestern moved a home game in an effort to make an instant classic and create a buzz around ticket sales.
For the first time in 87 years, Illinois football will return to Wrigley Field.
The Illini will play Northwestern in a Big Ten Conference game on Nov. 20, bringing football to the legendary baseball stadium located on Chicago's northside, Northwestern announced in a news conference at Wrigley Field on Friday morning. It's a rematch of a 29-0 victory by the Illini and star Red Grange there in 1923 after Northwestern moved a home game in an effort to make an instant classic and create a buzz around ticket sales.
"The question isn't why,'' said Northwestern athletic director Jim Phillips. "It's why not bring football back to this historic stadium to showcase Northwestern.''
Now that the announcement has been made, the two teams can make preparations for a game that will gain national attention. Football hasn't been played within the ivy covered walls since the Chicago Bears left for Soldier Field following the 1970 season.
Illinois won't give up a home date for the conference game, and the program has no intention of making this an annual date. Nevertheless, the game will draw special interest on a day when Army plays Notre Dame in Yankee Stadium and Ohio State faces Iowa in a key Big Ten showdown.
"The mystique of Wrigley Field will make this an unforgettable experience for the teams and fans of both schools,'' Illinois coach Ron Zook said. "We saw with the excitement generated by the NHL game that sports fans across the nation were drawn to the event."
A graduate of Illinois and former Illini basketball manager, Phillips worked with Illinois administration in lining up the game. The project began just after Phillips took over at Northwestern nearly two years ago.
The idea was solidified when Phillips attended the NHL Winter Classic game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings on Jan. 1, 2009. Phillips not only watched the game, he visited the Wrigleyville neighborhood and liked the atmosphere.
Phillips worked closely with Cubs president Crane Kenney, and Phillips took advantage of living a block away from Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts in Wilmette.
"Every time I'd see Tom, it was a friendly reminder that we have to get it done,'' Phillips said.
Field engineers independently determined the playing field was safe to house a football field, Phillips said. There were initial questions about safety concerning the dugouts, in addition to locker room space and the coaches box.
The novelty will drive ticket sales. In order to purchase tickets through Northwestern, fans must purchase season tickets to Northwestern's five home games at Ryan Field. Assuredly, the tickets will make their way to ticket brokers. According to Big Ten rules, Illinois will get an allotment of 3,000 tickets.
The game will be televised by ESPN or ESPN2.
When the two teams first met there in 1923, Wrigley Field was known as Cubs Park. The game was played before 32,000 fans. The Bears called the field home from 1921 to 1970.

Charming. Funny. Caddish. Handsome. Robert Downey Jr. can be described as many things, but Oscar-winner? Not yet.
In the cover interview for GQ's April issue, Downey shrugs off his lack of naked gold statuettes.
The 48-year-old actor, whose film career is nearly as old as he is, has earned two nominations for the prestigious award. And he's certain the win is coming.
How much would you like to win an Oscar?Downey's two nominations came from his work in 1993 playing Charlie Chaplin in "Chaplin," when he lost to Al Pacino, and in 2009 for "Tropic Thunder," when Heath Ledger's incredible final performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" was a shoo-in.
"I couldn't care less."
"Well, I know it's going to happen."
Is that the persona or the person speaking?
"That's just a fact."
You're certain?
"I, personally, would be shocked if we went to the end of the tape now and I didn't have at least one."
He told GQ he was certain then -- in 1993 -- he would take home the win.
And that certainty was still there, but perhaps a little tempered.
"Look, even if I don't get one directly, eventually they're just going to have to give me one when I get old," So no matter who you slice it, I'm getting one."
Well maybe not just one.
"I should probably have more. But zero's fine," he said "Zero, or two."

Ubisoft Removes 'Always On' DRM From New Driver Game; Replaces It With Something Slightly Less Annoying
from the if-you-really-want-to-stick-it-to-the-pirates,-just-stop-making-games deptAs I'm sure many of you tuned into the gamosystem (Now officially a word! Use it for your next startup!) are aware, Ubisoft has a long tradition of irritating the hell out of the very people it wishes to have purchase its games. A short while ago, Ubisoft announced the latest Driver sequel would require players to be handcuffed to a solid internet connection in order to fully utilize its "Always On" DRM.
Of course, an uproar took place and Ubisoft is now attempting to calm its potential customers, as Rock Paper Shotgun reports, by walking back its "always on" DRM, as evidenced by this official statement:
We've heard your feedback regarding the permanent internet connection requirement for Driver and have made the decision to no longer include it. So this means that Driver PC gamers will only need to sign in at game launch but can subsequently choose to play the game offline."And this improves things how?" RPS' John Walker asks:
[W]hat Driver's DRM has been reduced to is almost pointlessly different. Before if your internet connection went down while you played, the game would stop, and it wasn't possible to play anywhere without an internet connection at all. Now, er, if your internet connection is down you still can't play, and you still can't play anywhere without an internet connection.While this concession makes it slightly less annoying to play Ubisoft's game, the fact remains that this minor compromise doesn't alter the general "treat everyone like thieves" principle behind it. If you really want to prevent piracy, rather than please your customers, why not just take your protective measures to the logical conclusion?
Always On is by far and away the most egregiously stupid and unfair DRM to have ever been included with a game... It's something Ubisoft have boasted, without providing any proof whatsoever, has reduced piracy. While the claim without proof is meaningless, it also ignores the rather larger issue that so would locking the only copy of the game in a concrete block buried beneath the sea reduce piracy. It would also make it even more inconvenient for a paying customer.Ubisoft may be slowly learning that the public isn't going to put up with Always On, but it seems deaf to the facts that its DRM does nothing to slow down piracy and everything to annoy its customers. Walker closes with this plea, which could be directed at any purveyor of DRM-laced goods:
But Ubisoft - if you're genuinely listening to the reaction against your DRM, then please actually hear what's being said. With DRM that requires an internet connection to launch, every time, you are once again mindlessly and needlessly punishing your legitimate customers in a way that will not affect those with pirated copies. You will, once again, be selling a product with a serious and significant defect, that those who download it for free will not be encountering. There's no logic or rationale that makes that okay. By requiring an internet connection for launch, on every launch, you punish anyone whose internet isn't working, who wants to play away from home (on a train, on a plane, on a holiday in Cornwall, at their grandparents' house, in their barracks...), or who cannot afford a broadband internet connection. It is cruel. It is stupid. It doesn't work on any level. If you are listening, really listening, then stop this. Stop treating customers like criminals, and start showing respect to those who pay you significant amounts of money for your products.Once again, if your product can't outperform the pirated version, your battle against piracy will always be uphill.

DePauw Men's Lacrosse Falls To Oberlin
April 13, 2013
Greencastle, Ind. - The DePauw men's lacrosse team fell to the Oberlin Yeoman, 20-3, in a North Coast Athletic Conference match on Saturday, April 13, at Boswell Field.
With the victory, the Yeoman picked up their first conference win of the year and bettered their overall record to 5-6. After falling to Oberlin, the Tigers dropped to 0-11 overall and 0-5 in NCAC play.
After being shutout by the Yeoman over the first three periods, DePauw picked up all three of their goals in the final quarter. Pierce Ellinwood, Michael Strader and Chris Deaver each scored one goal for DePauw while Sam Johnson assisted on Ellinwood's tally.
Oberlin's Nick Lobley notched eight points in the match, scored four goals and registered four assists, all game-highs.
DePauw's JR Strubbe was saddled with the loss after saving nine shots in the match and scooping four ground balls. Oberlin played four different goalies during the match with Erickson Andrews starting in between the pipes and picking up the victory. Miles Brooke tended the net during the second stanza, saving two shots, followed by Josh Kasten's shutout in the third period before giving Nathan Duletzke the opportunity in the final quarter.
The Yeoman outshot the Tigers 41-10 during the match and capitalized on 4 of 8 extra-man opportunities.
The Tigers return to Boswell Field on Wednesday, April 17, for a NCAC tussle against Wittenberg at 4 p.m. (ET).

Most Americans believe that not raising the U.S. debt limit would result in a major economic crisis, a new poll found, but more side with Republicans' demands to attach spending cuts to a debt limit hike than with President Obama's insistence on a no-conditions increase.
Fifty-three percent of respondents to the Associated Press-GfK poll say if the debt ceiling isn't extended, there would be jarring problems for the U.S. economy.
But that isn't enough to convince them that there shouldn't be spending cuts at the same time. Thirty-nine percent of respondents said deep spending cuts should be attached to any measure increasing the $16.4 trillion debt limit, versus the 30% who agree with Obama that raising the debt ceiling should be de-linked from a broader budget debate.
The poll appears as Republicans are mulling a short-term increase in the debt limit. The U.S. is set to run out of borrowing power sometime in mid-February or March, and on Thursday, Rep. Paul Ryan said such an increase is being discussed among the GOP.
Also on Thursday, Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said "unequivocally" that the debt ceiling will be raised.
But that doesn't mean Republicans are dropping their insistence that spending is cut. A one-month-long extension would delay a fight over the debt limit to about the same time that automatic spending cuts are due to kick in and the government's funding is due to run out.
"What we want to achieve at the end of the day is a two-way discussion between Democrats and Republicans, and out of that hopefully some progress being made on getting this deficit and debt under control," Ryan said.

The Complicated Realities of Justice
Darryl Robinson
In July 1995, Dražen Erdemović, a soldier in the Bosnian Serb Army, was dispatched with his military unit to a village in Bosnia-Herzegovina near the Serbian border. There the soldiers were ordered to execute approximately 1,200 Bosnian men and boys who had surrendered to the army near Srebrenica. Erdemović resisted the order, but his commander told him to participate in the massacre or be shot himself. Erdemović chose the former. He later estimated he'd killed about 70 men and boys who, like the other victims, were buried in mass graves.
In a few months the three-year Bosnian War was over and Erdemović was a free man, albeit one tortured by a guilty conscience. Eventually he described the massacre and his role in it to an American reporter. Soon after his videotaped confession he was arrested and charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which sentenced him to ten years in prison. His term was subsequently reduced and Erdemović was granted early release in August 1999.
Erdemović's tale illustrates some of the legal and moral issues inherent in crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes. Must a soldier be held responsible for atrocities he committed under duress? If the answer is yes, how much leniency, if any, should be granted during sentencing to acknowledge the duress? How does a mass murder committed during war differ from one committed during peacetime? These and other diffcult questions also consume Darryl Robinson, a professor at Queen's Faculty of Law. He specializes in international criminal law (ICL), which is applied by international criminal tribunals that deal with war crimes. Robinson came to the field by happenstance about 15 years ago, when he was a newly-minted lawyer doing volunteer work for human rights organizations. He was soon recruited as a legal officer in Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs, helping to develop international criminal law and institutions. He helped draft the Statute of the International Criminal Court, which is now established in The Hague, the Netherlands. The court is investigating and prosecuting mass atrocities in eight different countries. For three years Robinson worked as a legal adviser in the prosecutor's office.
Robinson came to Queen's in 2008. Since then his research has focused on identifying and refining universal criminal law principles, or doctrines, that transcend national legal systems and facilitate the fair and just prosecution of war crimes. The ultimate goal of his scholarship is to help create a body of international criminal law that enables war-crimes tribunals to function in a way that is neither unduly harsh nor too lenient, while accounting for the extraordinary circumstances – the shockingly-high body counts, the breathtaking extent of state-sanctioned brutality – typically associated with war crimes. The tribunals lose credibility if they act as mere "conviction machines" – bodies that render a guilty verdict for most defendants almost by default – or are so obsessed with narrow interpretations of criminal law and procedure that they give war criminals lax sentences or let them walk free because of a legal technicality. Neither instance results in the appearance or reality of justice.
Robinson's theoretical work draws on international criminal law as it is currently practiced, national criminal law systems, and moral philosophy. Each of these sources has strengths and weaknesses in terms of informing ICL, an area of law still in its infancy. Robinson suggests that principles derived from national systems can provide a source of inspiration about commonly shared intuitions of justice. However, the extreme and abnormal contexts of mass atrocity can raise new questions. Thus, not only can national criminal law theory illuminate ICL, but the special problems of ICL can illuminate criminal law, exposing parameters and limits in what appeared to be elementary principles.
"If we are exercising law on behalf of humanity," says Robinson, "then we have to exercise that law with humanity."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) New Orleans Hornets rookie forward Anthony Davis has injured his left ankle and sat out the second half against Sacramento.
Davis scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting and had six rebounds in the first half when the Hornets took a 64-39 lead Monday. It was unclear when the injury occurred, but Davis limped to the locker room at the break.
A stress fracture in the same ankle forced Davis to miss 11 games earlier in the season.
He is averaging 13.2 points and 8.0 rebounds. Davis was the first pick in last year's NBA draft.

Best Vitamins For Healthy Skin
In Fitness RX Magazine, I talked about skin health. I reviewed the basics on skin aging and discuss vitamins and oral supplements that can help improve the appearance of the skin. I've attached the full article below for those of you who are interested in reading!
On Friday Jan 13 2012, I performed complex revision liposuction surgery on "The Doctors"TV show on ABC. In my segment a patient had previously had
liposuction several years ago but was left with significant asymmetries. She had a large shelf of fat left behind on her stomach that was visible even with clothes on. She also had several areas where there were chunks of fat on her stomach and also a ridge of fat along her back. Her previous doctors had told her there was nothing that could be done! Watch her transformation revision surgery! We will post it soon on our website on the MEDIA page.

Anti-wrinkle Pills?
Nutritional supplements for skin health
An article published in 2011 September's New Scientist magazine discussed a potential anti-wrinkle pill. Independent researchers contacted by the magazine remain skeptical about the pill until there is scientific research to support these claims. When it comes to anti-aging and anti-wrinkle ingredients, consumers are bombarded with marketing and fancy packaging without really knowing if a product works. In all fairness, proving an ingredient or product works is difficult because with test groups there are many factors, such as diet, genetics, environment and weight, that affect aging and create alterations in the data. There is much more data in the scientific literature on topical ingredients— I reviewed and published these findings a few years ago.1 However, when it comes to oral supplements, specifically for anti-wrinkling, there is limited scientific data. Although many studies do not focus specifically on skin wrinkles, there is evidence that nutritional supplements do improve skin health and have beneficial actions on the skin.2,3 Here I will discuss some of the commonly used anti-aging supplements for the skin, the theory behind their action, and some research found in the scientific literature.
Biology of Wrinkling and Skin Aging
It's first important to understand how skin ages. There are two main processes that contribute to aging: genetics and the environment. Environmental exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, smoking, wind and chemicals cause roughness, fine lines, sagging, irregular pigmentation and decreased skin elasticity.1,4 The primary mechanism by which UV and other factors damage skin cells is by creating reactive oxygen species that damage nucleic acids, lipids and proteins, including collagen.5 When collagen is damaged, the structural integrity of the skin is compromised, which causes wrinkle formation. Damage to nucleic acids contributes to the formation of skin cancers.
Nutrition and Skin Health
Good nutrition is essential to the skin. Deficiencies in certain vitamins are evidence that nutrients are critical to skin health. Vitamin A deficiency causes dry skin, dry hair, and delayed wound healing. Vitamin B deficiency causes hyper-pigmentation and discoloration of the skin. Vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, resulting in skin blisters, bleeding gums, and delayed wound healing. It is well known that what you put into your body reflects on the outside as well.
Antioxidants are believed to fight aging and wrinkles, since antioxidants neutralize the reactive oxygen species that damage the skin. The skin protects itself with naturally occurring antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C and E, squalene, and coenzyme Q-10. Therefore, most anti-wrinkle supplements contain these vitamins. Antioxidants are found in many botanical supplements as well, including grape seed, red wine resveratrol and fruit-based supplements. Selenium— which is found in nuts, chicken, eggs, fish— and beta-carotene— which is found in orange and red fruits and green leafy vegetables— are two other commonly used antioxidants. Although antioxidants are commonly accepted as anti-aging molecules, there are unfortunately few studies that specifically show that antioxidant supplementation decreases wrinkle formation.6 This doesn't mean that they don't work; there is just limited clinical data to prove this.
Several studies have shown that oral vitamin C or vitamin E supplementation does cause increases in skin vitamin C and vitamin E content.7,8 In several experiments on human skin cells grown in a laboratory, vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene were all found to protect cells from UVB-induced oxidative damage— the primary mechanism of wrinkle formation.9,10 However, most of the studies on these antioxidants are focused on their anti-skin cancer properties or whether they protect against sunburn, rather than their anti-wrinkle properties. Many of these studies do show that these antioxidants help prevent skin cancer and also increased resistance to sunburn. However, there are also a few studies that show no statistically significant improvement.
Omega-3 fatty acids, which are most commonly derived from fish oil, are believed to be involved in skin health and collagen regulation. Again, there are little to no studies that specifically look at omega-3 supplementation and wrinkle improvement. Most studies look at omega-3 as a skin cancer protective agent or skin inflammation modulator. Omega-3 has been used in patients with psoriasis and eczema because of its anti-inflammatory effects. One study also showed an inverse relationship between omega-3 fatty acids and skin tumor markers in skin biopsied from human subjects, suggesting that it helps in skin cancer prevention.11 Numerous animal studies have demonstrated that omega-3 supplementation also helps sunburn prevention and UV-induced erythema.
Green Tea
There have been many studies on the photoprotective effects of green tea extract and polyphenols on human skin cells in culture.12,13 The chemical components of green tea act as antioxidants. However, there are only a few clinical studies performed on human test groups investigating the anti-aging properties of green tea. One long-term study, where subjects were given green tea supplements for two years, showed a significant improvement in overall skin solar damage after six months and improvement in skin erythema and telangectasias after 12 months.14 Similar results have been found in numerous animal studies.
Soy Isoflavones
There have been some convincing clinical studies on soy isoflavone supplementation to improve the appearance of skin. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study on women who were given supplementation of soy isoflavone showed some improvement of fine wrinkles and cheek skin elasticity.15 Another study, which evaluated skin biopsies of post-menopausal women after soy isoflavones supplementation for six months, showed an increase in epidermal thickness and an increase in collagen in the dermis.16 Animal studies and studies on human cells in culture also show photoprotective effects.
Although there is limited data specifically investigating nutritional supplements on skin aging and wrinkle prevention, there is a large body of evidence showing that many nutrients are beneficial for the skin and overall health. Living a healthy lifestyle is critical to having good, healthy skin. Also, avoiding smoking and sun exposure are two of the most important things one can do to prevent premature aging and skin damage. I always tell my patients to eat foods rich in antioxidants, drink lots of water, and exercise. Taking care of your body on the inside is essential to looking young from the inside out.

Top 5 family friendly rainy day activities in Queenstown
Queenstown is renowned throughout the world for adrenalin fuelled extreme adventures, but what can you do to keep the kids happy on a rainy day?
Queenstown is mostly known for thrilling jet boat rides, mountain biking and bungy jumping but there's more activities appearing that are family friendly and perfect for that odd rainy or windy day.
Mini Golf
There are two mini golf attractions in town, conveniently located near the bottom of the gondola, and just a couple of minutes walk from the town centre. You have a choice of the indoor CaddyShack mini golf, and just across the road there's an outdoors option if the weather turns good.
Interactive Motion Rides
Both Vortex and Dark Ride provide a new type of attraction to Queenstown where you have interactive rides, that are like sitting in a multi dimensional arcade game with motion and interactivity like shooting. You get a real sense of the movement as you wear special glasses to make the ride really 'pop' out at you. Rides start from $19-30 with discounts for more rides, and both attractions are in the main town centre.
Indoor Sensory Maze
Odyssey Sensory Maze is one of the newest attractions at the time of writing. It's like an old school maze brought into the 21st century with multiple senses activated during your journey. You'll find illusions, effects and sounds to keep you amazed during the journey. Odyssey is located just a few seconds from the main Earnslaw park by the wharf.
Haunted House
The Fear Factory is one for the older kids - that includes you, but you may want to set an age limit if you have young children with you to avoid frights and tears. This is not like any other haunted house - it's pitch black, and fear and frights are the main words. Even if you're used to Queenstown's adrenalin focussed activities, you'll probably jump out your skin at some point during your visit. Fear Factory is just across from the main Earnslaw Park in town.
Kids Treats
We all know that at some point on your trip you'll be pestered for sweet treats and ice cream. You can relax at the well known Patagonia Chocolates and watch the world go by, or some of the newer chocolate and ice cream parlours that have cropped up in town over the last couple of years.
The beauty of Queenstown is that all these activities are just around the corner from each other or just a few minutes walk from Earnslaw Park by the main wharf in town.
Although we're lucky enough to be blessed with good weather most of the time, you won't be stuck in Queenstown if the weather turns on your next visit.

Treatment of borderline cancers of the ovary
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
A close friend of mine was diagnosed with a Low Malignant Potential/Borderline Ovarian Tumor after a laparoscopy and had a complete hysterectomy. She has now been told that the LMP was also in the ovary, the fallopian tube, and in at least 1 lymph node. What is the recommended treatment at this point? Should I encourage her to get a second opinion at another institution to verify this is LMP and not full-blown ovarian cancer?
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
The diagnosis and treatment of borderline cancers of the ovary has been evolving rapidly. In some circumstances, chemotherapy may be recommended in patients with evidence of spread, depending on the type of tumor, and the extent and type of spread. It would generally be wise to get a second opinion from a pathologist with expertise in this area, and to consult a gynecologic oncologist.

It's time to re-emerge from a multi-month break, one I'll refer to as "Hibernation" since it's winter to spring. To be honest, the past few months have been a blur. The common thread throughout is illness. I think all of us have been sick at some point. Present company excluded, of course, but I make up for it with a mysterious broken bone in my foot that lingers to this day.
This winter has been a blur with all the snow we've gotten. I forgot to keep track of the big total, but we easily got several feet this winter. While I still love the white stuff, even I got tired of it after awhile. We also started saying goodbye to my trusty shovel that's been through blizzards with us since 1996. It hasn't been buried just yet, so we're holding off on the 40 pour.
The big stagecoach keeps on rolling, and it keeps sounding like I have a ticket to ride on it. We'll see for how long or if I even want to stay on it.
Ethan has really taken to preschool and is blossoming from his shell. We were already seeing remarkable jumps from him prior to enrollment – now you'd never know we needed anything for him.
Garrett continues to excel in general – he does well in school and is popular outside it. He may be the type where we'll need to beat the girls away with a stick.
I remain proud and thankful for all the things Jennifer does for herself and for me. I believe I wouldn't be near where I am without her.
We're enjoying the national post-season basketball run the Mountaineers are putting on. With or without Truck (solidarity through bone breaks!) it's been a fun run to date.

Bubba Joe, my old high school buddy back in Tennesssee, blurted that out this past weekend when I rang him up to see who he was voting for.
Me being a nosy reporter, I wanted to know just why Bubba Joe placed the Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential contender in such a low intelligence-quotient bracket, as if the media hadn't already done a bang-up job of that.

One Dem's gamble on climate change
This story is part of an ongoing POLITICO series on how national policy issues are affecting the 2014 midterm elections.
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — This Rust Belt state is one of the last places you might expect to wage a winning Senate campaign by trumpeting climate change to liberals at Netroots Nation and boasting about voting for cap and trade.
Story Continued Below
But Michigan Democrat Gary Peters is making the climate cause a central message in his neck-and-neck Senate campaign, in a state that for decades built gas-guzzling cars into a foundation of the U.S. economy.
Peters' aggressiveness on the issue stands out in a campaign year when other embattled Democrats are attacking President Barack Obama's climate policies, ducking positions on controversies like the Keystone XL oil pipeline and running away from past votes that could bite them at the ballot box. But the House member is gambling that he can appeal to voters — including conservative-leaning residents in northern Michigan — with a climate message honed to home-state priorities like the health of the Great Lakes.
( Read All Policy is Local Energy coverage)
The question: Is Peters offering a vision that can help other Democrats win tough races in manufacturing-heavy states? Or a cautionary tale?
Peters is clinging to narrow leads over Republican Terri Lynn Land in recent polls as they vie to succeed retiring Sen. Carl Levin, and it's unclear whether he can sell climate policy to voters who may increasingly care about the issue but rank it a low priority compared with jobs and the economy. The race is split in other ways as well: Peters is getting big support from national environmental groups and climate activist billionaire Tom Steyer, while Land's backers include a group backed by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch.
Still, supporters like Michigan Democratic strategist Jill Alper think Peters is smart to play up climate change — and she says other Democrats should do the same.
"I think in a lot of states, this would be good politics and a good leadership issue," she said. In Michigan, she added, protecting the Great Lakes is a cause that both Republicans and Democrats support.
( Also on POLITICO: Ethanol fuels clash in corn country)
Land's campaign is trying to spread the message that Peters is too radical for Michigan, although her campaign declined repeated requests to make her available for an interview to discuss her own position on climate change.
"Congressman Peters is willing to sell his position to the highest bidder, and right now that's the billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer," Land said in a written response to questions. "When Michigan unemployment was at 15 percent, Congressman Peters 'proudly voted' for cap-and-trade, even though it would cost around 100,000 Michigan jobs," she added, citing estimates by groups like The Heritage Foundation and the National Association of Manufacturers.
As for her own views, Land wrote that there "is no denying that the climate is changing and we must take measures to protect the environment." When asked how much of that change is caused by humans, Land spokeswoman Heather Swift said in an email that "Terri believes we need to keep an eye on it; but she doesn't believe we should put a meter on the business end of a cow, like the EPA does."
Land's campaign told The Washington Post in May that she doesn't agree with Peters "on the extent of the effect of human behavior on our climate."
( Also on POLITICO: Arizona solar, Colorado gas and Montana newcomer)
Peters has sought to turn the issue against Land, demanding repeatedly that she declare where she stands on the reality of climate science. He said her position is "clearly out of step with the overwhelming scientific evidence."
"Her stances are about ideology," he said in an interview. "They're not about practical problem-solving."
Peters has also taken up the cause at Netroots Nation, the annual liberal gathering held this year in Detroit, where he proclaimed that "climate change is real" and introduced progressive icon Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). And he says on his House website that he "proudly" stands by his vote in 2009 for the cap-and-trade bill, a measure that soon sank to oblivion in the Senate and proved a political liability for several Democrats in 2010's midterm elections.
One possible factor in Peters' favor is that the politics of climate regulations have changed in Michigan in the past several years. The auto industry once resisted calls for reducing its carbon pollution through increased fuel efficiency standards, but the Obama administration got automakers to agree during his first term to a sharp tightening of those requirements.
On the other hand, not even all of Peters' supporters buy his message that climate change is harming the Great Lakes. "Global warming occurred hundreds and thousands of years ago" as well, said John Pampu, CEO of Big Jon Sports, which owns a downrigger fishing production plant in Interlochen where Peters and Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow talked to employees last week about the threat posed by invasive Asian carp.
Still, Pampu said he and many of his employees would support Peters, even though many lean conservative. He said voters there care about protecting the Great Lakes because they're such an economic engine for the state. "We do want to protect it and we'll fight tooth and nail," he said.

Super Bowl 2013 is upon us, and this year, the city of New Orleans plays host to the biggest national sporting event of the year. Sports fans, media, celebrities, and thousands upon thousands of other visitors will flock to the city over the coming weeks to prepare and celebrate the culmination of the 2012-2013 football season.
The teams are set. The Baltimore Ravens will be facing the San Francisco 49ers, who happen to be a longtime rival of the Saints since a time when both teams were in the same division. Fans of both teams will come down for the game with tickets and/or jerseys in hand, and New Orleans will welcome them with open arms, despite past rivalries and dashed hopes of having the Saints in the Superdome Super Bowl (New Orleanians will smile through gritted teeth when Commissioner Goodell comes to town).
Having Super Bowl 2013 in town with so many people and events is very similar to Mardi Gras—or wait, it is Mardi Gras. This year, the big second week of Mardi Gras (preceding Lundi and Mardi Gras day) is the weekend after the Super Bowl, which would normally make the first week of parades the weekend that the Super Bowl will be in town. But, because of all the commotion and festivities, the city pushed forward that first weekend of parades to last weekend to accommodate.
Mardi Gras and Super Bowl 2013 over three weekends? It's going to be great to see how the city fares after this busy season. Sure, the streets, restaurants, bars, and venues will be overcrowded, and lines and waits will be long everywhere. But what's most important to the city—besides showing its locals and visitors a great time—is the financial benefits that NOLA will see from these major festivities while in the national spotlight. Local commercial and service industry folk know what a cash cow these three weeks will be, and the visitor dollars will pour into the city—a city that still has room for growth and plenty to rebuild.
There's a Super Bowl in the Superdome this year, and, like anything else, New Orleans is gonna celebrate it in a big and flashy way. Come on down for the party, and stay through Mardi Gras!

V&A Illustration Awards 2014: Published Category - Editorial Illustration
Editorial Illustration Award & Overall Winner
Illustrations for 'Ten Myths of Creativity' Author Audrey Niffenegger
In Dance Gazette, Published by Royal Academy of Dance, 1 February 2013, pages 23-25
These pieces illustrate an article by author and artist Audrey Niffeneger on the myths surrounding the creative process. Musselwhite focused on the extremes of 'that light bulb moment when you know you've nailed it versus the crushing feeling of despair and insecurity when the creative juices aren't flowing and you feel you're on the edge'. She felt fully qualified to comment on this via the medium that often takes her to these extremes.
The skulls were constructed from different weights and types of paper.
This was hand cut and built up in layers to produce these intricately crafted illustrations.
The judges admired the light, deft way in which this unusual technique had been used, and the skilful, professional execution of the work.
Musselwhite has been working as a paper sculpture illustrator from her home studio near Manchester for the past 8 years.

Mail clerk Jack Jones is flying on a special Jet Blue package from Burbank to Long Beach for just $5 round trip.
Martha Remple, an unemployed mom, will be taking the orange subway line anywhere it goes for free.
Hairdresser Julie Dixon and messenger Randy Galang will leave their Granada Hills homes three hours early for a 7:30 p.m. Saturday night showing of "Evil Dead 2," which is playing under the stars on the lawn of the Hollywood Cemetery.
"It's usually a 20-minute drive but we're not taking any chances," says Ms. Dixon.
How Angelenos are coping, or not, with "carmageddon" – the 53-hour shutdown of a crucial 10-mile segment of freeway here – is the topic of conversation no matter where you go in this city.
From 7 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday, this segment of Interstate 405 linking the Los Angeles International Airport and the San Fernando Valley – the most traveled freeway in the United States – will be closed so that engineers can demolish a bridge to create a carpool lane.
Many say it's tearing the city apart by spotlighting the entire metropolitan region's long-term overdependence on cars in place of adequate public transportation. Others say it's bringing the city together as never before, because everyone is in the same predicament and helping each other out.
Newspapers are full of neighborhood-street short-cuts to try and ones to avoid. Restaurants and bars are offering special, car-themed promotions. Web sites offer T-shirts ("I was in the war"), bumper stickers ("the good … the bad… and the elderly"), and mouse pads with a photo of the devil at the wheel.
Bloggers are spoofing official attempts to provide information:
"Q: Will there be official-looking people everywhere I go, waving signs and telling me how to proceed?"
Yes. But that won't change the fact that you're [in big trouble.]''
Some officials say the entire city will be clogged uncontrollably for the entire weekend. They note that on average, 375,000 cars drive the 405 every day. More on weekends. Others advise residents in no uncertain terms to either stay at home or leave town and things will be OK.
"I know every shortcut and not one of them is going to work," said L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky in an interview with ABC News.com. "Stay the hell away is the best advice we can give. Don't go anywhere near the west side of L.A. … stay home, get Netflix … everybody has to suck it up. We're doing our part to make sure every man, woman, and child knows about this."
"It's a good thing this is happening on a weekend," says Mr. Galang, eating a plate of hummus at Heart of India Café, right at the intersection of the 405 and 101, the city's other busiest freeway. "Anyone that needs to go up and down the 405 is going to be dead in the water. I use this route all day every day, but lucky for me, I don't work weekends."
The J. Paul Getty Museum, high on a crest above the 405 – which gets 1.2 million visitors a year, is closing down for one of its busiest weekends of the year, according to spokeswoman Melissa Abraham in L.A. Weekly. And local TV stations have been doing stories on tourists and wedding parties that planned their trips and festivities well before the closure was announced and now have few, if any alternatives.
One couple said they can't change their wedding plans because several of their guests have already paid for airline tickets from overseas. They are shelling out their own money for nearby hotels to make sure these family members will make it to the wedding.
The LAPD, sheriffs, and other law enforcement and transportation officials say they have contingency plans for emergency vehicles and to route traffic around problem areas using additional helicopter surveillance and supplementary, on-street traffic controllers.
"L.A. Department of Transportation will be monitoring all the signalized intersections to ensure the swift movement of traffic," says Krishniah Murthy, executive director of transit project delivery for L.A. Metro in an online Q and A, posted as a public service.
There are also websites created by local residents to aid motorists – carmageddon.com and beatcarmageddon.com.
"Everything we saw was very doom and gloom, very stay at home, don't venture out," says Anastasia Roark, one of the beatcarmageddon.com's founders, in a YouTube video. "We just really thought it would be really fun to put together an all-encompassing survival guide to help people get through it and find some silver lining to enjoy it."
Local news has also carried several stories about a new, free application for cellphones called Waze – which monitors car traffic in real time, and responds to the speed each car is going, rather than just relate conventional geographical information from on-street sensors and cameras.
"This will be one of the great new uses of this technology, because it relies on tens of thousands of users being monitored in real time and can help people find the route with the least traffic as if they were aerially above it, looking down and able to choose," says Diann Eisnor, vice president of platform and partnerships for Waze.

I have already written a manuscript for a Xena movie. I have shown it to a publisher here in my home town who would love to publish it for me, but the copyright laws are a little sticky. I need an agent to take it to Universal and because the show has been off the air so long so one want sto venture it. It you are in support of taking a manuscript to Universal for a Xena movie, please join my club so I can track numbers and keep hounding Universal. I am posting a link above. Thanks.
Please clink the link below to join my Facebook group.
More Updates! I just e-mailed Lucy and Renee' for more support. This time I am trying another direction though. Since I am trying to get support for a story that you all have not even read yet, I am trying to get it published as FanFiction on MaryD's fanfiction page. I have also e-mailed her by the way. Also, as of today I have contacted The Penguin Group and am inquiring again to see if this is someting they are willing to seek licensing for. One way or another I hope that I get this story line out there for you all to read. I am hoping that one way or another it will also get around to Universal, or to someone who can or will get it into the right hands at Universal. Please keep crossing your fingers everyone. Maybe one day with enough screaming we will get our movie.
Also, if you have not done so already, please swing my MaryD's at ausxip.com and lend support for Lucy and her efforts in Sign On. She needs your voices as well.
Battle On Friends, Battle On!

i want a Xena movie but not particularly starring Lucy or Renee. A Xena movie (esp. movie series) with new cast, writers, directors would be nice plus a new storyline that doesn't necessarily have much to do with the tv show. In other words, no post season 6 follow-up or a re-shot of a previous story (ie Callisto). A new Xena history for a movie series would be fine & dandy.
|Scroll Obsessive
Hey Im a Xena Slut...Ill take it anyway I can get it...

There's been a push lately to get a Xena movie. i don't want it if Lucy & Renee are playing X&G. They're too old for those roles.

The wolf-boy in the Twilight series looks like a world class body builder in the later installments..hes not
Nicole Kidman still has the Hi cheeks of a 30 year old in the movies..
I saw a segment of some show she was on her cheeks have dropped as is usual for a woman her age...
I think they could make Lucy & renee look like 20 year old long legged anorexic fashion models if they want...
Look at the blue aliens in Avatar..the six armed martian dudes in John Carter...

Look at all the height work done in the Lord of the Rings trilogy..

In that tricky first year, a new business needs to keep the cash flowing – so try these handy tips from accountancy experts Crunch to keep hold of your cash.
So, you've started your own business – well done!
Now you're flying solo, which means the only person capable of making more money is you. With 90 percent of businesses failing in their first year, money is definitely a big concern. But follow these simple rules, and you can increase the odds that your business will survive the all-important first year. So how do you keep as much of your money as possible?
Incorporate yourself
Nothing says "I'm a consummate professional" like a Limited Company name. LTDs are cheap to set up (sometimes as little as £15) and give you limited liability. Which basically means that if your company goes under, it won't take you with it.
Pay yourself a pittance
By paying yourself only up to the National Insurance Contributions threshold you'll avoid loads of income tax and NICs. You can then make up the rest of your income using dividends from your company.
The final tax you pay will be Corporation Tax on your profits – so you'll only pay tax on the money your company makes as profit, as opposed to paying income tax on everything you earn as a Sole Trader.
Sell your stuff
If you have equipment you personally own that you use for your business (laptops, mobile phones etc.), you can get your Limited Company to purchase them from you, and these purchases become assets of your company.That means your company is effectively giving you money tax-free.
Keep an iron grip on your cashflow
Nothing can harm a business more than a lack of cash in the early days – you'll have to use overdrafts and loans to meet the shortfall, which can see you buried in interest charges and repayments.
How to keep the cash flow flowing? Make sure you invoice clients straight away and set strict terms on payment. Don't be afraid to ask for percentage payments up-front, or incremental payments at different stages of the contract.
Always outsource
The rise of the Internet economy has seen prices for products and services fall through the floor. As more companies use the power of the cloud to automate and crowdsource work, the business models of traditional companies are falling to pieces.
But before you decide to save money by cutting a service for your business, think about this: you went into business to do what you love, didn't you? So don't spend hours doing all the time-sapping menial stuff. Every minute spent not concentrating on your core business is a minute you're not profitable.
Instead, write up a list of the features a business service needs to have, and find the cheapest option that offers everything. Make sure the service is flat-rate so you don't get any nasty surprises, and make sure they don't lock you in with hefty exit fees. Google their name to make sure they're legit, then shop around again. Only once you're completely convinced they're the best around should you sign up.
Crunch are expert online accountants specifically for freelancers, contractors and small businesses.

Sanders Statement on Senate Vote on Oil Tax Breaks
WASHNGTON, May 17 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a member of the Senate energy committee, issued the following statement today after the Senate blocked a bill to rescind $2 billion in annual taxpayer handouts to the five biggest U.S. oil companies:
"I voted to end oil company subsidies because we have a $14 trillion national debt, because some of the most profitable corporations in the history of the world don't need tax breaks, because some oil companies pay no federal income taxes, and because we desperately need to end our dependence on fossil fuels.
"Congress cannot balance the budget on the backs of middle-class working families without asking the wealthiest Americans and the most profitable corporations for shared sacrifice."
Sanders last year called for the repeal of $35 billion in oil and gas industry tax breaks over the next decade. His proposal would have devoted $25 billion to deficit reduction and put $10 billion over 10 years into an Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant Program. The vote last June 15 on Sanders' amendment was 35 to 61. At that time, 22 Democrats bucked the wishes of the White House and voted against the repeal.

The introduction and suspension of media services is becoming a regular occurrence and the combined effects of multiple false starts is creating turmoil in the marketplace and making consumers wary of new services.
Let me give some examples. Wal-Mart recently announced it is halting its online video download service after only a year of operation because Hewlett Packard Co. has discontinued its underlying technology due to poor market performance. The New York Times has one of the most successful newspaper websites but has changed its business model several times, most recently abandoning Times Select consumer paid model for an advertising-based model. Sony created a CONNECT Player for its Walkman, PSP, Clie and VAIO that was so plagued by problems that it ended support for the product and advised owners to use another music player and library manager instead. These are only a few of the hundreds of starts and stops of services that have occurred in recent years.
The primary reasons for failures of these types of services have been the rush to get them to market and the unwillingness of companies to financially support services for more than a limited time. These factors lead to insufficient product development efforts before introduction and rapid abandonment of products and services that may need time to be corrected or to mature in the market.
Companies of all kinds introduce and withdraw products for the market on a regular basis, but rapid introduction and withdrawal of media services tends to create more disruption for the consumer. Media services differ from other products that companies decide they will no longer manufacture because ceasing media services reduces functionality of hardware products for which the services were designed. Suspension of services also interferes with the strong habitual uses of media products and services that results from them being experience and lifestyle good and services
Media and communication technologies are changing rapidly but consumer behavior changes much more slowly. Consumers need time to learn about and get used to new technologies. The appearance of consumer technology fatigue from the constant changing and versioning of media and communication technologies is well recognized. Today, the rapid introduction and cessation of services is fueling technology wariness among consumers who have purchased hardware on the assumption that the services sold with it will continued to be offered throughout the useful life of the product.
It is a problem that media and communication companies have created themselves and it is making media markets more turbulent and complex.
