How economies work – and don't
a discipline that, compared to economics, is as obscure as Warren Buffett's investment strategy, compared to conventional investment theory, about which Buffett said, "You couldn't advance in a finance department in this country unless you taught that the world was flat." (The New York Times, Oct 29). The writer wondered, "But why? If it works, why don't more investors use it?" Good question. Geonomics works, too. Every place that has used it has prospered while conserving resources. Yet it remains off the radar of many wanna-be reformers. Gradually, tho', that's changing. More are becoming aware of what geonomics studies – all the money we spend on the nature we use. Geonomics (1) as an alternative worldview to the anthropocentric, sees human economies as part of the embracing ecosystem with natural feedback loops seeking balance in both systems. (2) As an alternative to worker vs. investor, it sees our need for sites and resources making those who own land into landlords. (3)As an alternative to economics, it tracks the trillions of "rent" as it drives the "housing" bubble and all other indicators. And (4) as an alternative to left or right, it suggests we not tax ourselves then subsidize our favorites but recover and share society's surplus, paying in land dues and getting back "rent" dividends, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Letting rent go to the wrong pockets wreaks havoc, while redirecting it to everyone would solve our economic ills and the ills downstream from them. People must learn to stop whining so much and feel enough self-esteem to demand a fair share of rent, society's surplus, the commonwealth.
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
a neologism for sharing "rent" or "social surplus" – the money we spend on the nature we use. When we buy land, such as the land beneath a home, we typically pay the wrong person – the homeowner. Instead, since land cost us nothing to make and is the common heri-tage of us all, rather than pay the owner, we should pay ourselves, our neighbors, our community. That is, we should all pay land dues to the public treasury, then our government would pay us land dividends from this collected revenue. It's similar to the Alaska oil dividend, almost $2,000 last year. Indeed, the annual rental value of land, oil, all other natural resources, including the broadcast spectrum and other government-granted permits such as corporate charters, totals several trillion dollars each year. It's so much that some could be spent on basic social services, the rest parceled out as a divi-dend, as Tom Paine suggested, and taxes (except any on natural rents) could be abolished, as Thomas Jeffer-son suggested. Were we sharing Earth by sharing her worth, territorial disputes would be fewer, less intense, and more resolvable.
in part the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out. Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old log-gers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
not a panacea, but like John Muir said, "pull on any one thing, and find it connected to everything else." Recall last month's earthquake in El Salvador. We felt it and its formidable after-shocks in Nicaragua. Immediately afterwards, my host nation, one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, sent aid to its Central American neighbor. The Nica newspapers carried photos of the devastation. They showed that the cliff sides that crumbled had had homes built on them while the cliffs left pristine withstood the shock. Could monopoly of good, safe, flat land be pushing people to build on risky, unstable cliffs? If so, that's just one more good reason to break up land monopoly. What works to break up land monopoly, history shows, is for society to collect the annual rental value of the underlying sites and resources. That'd spur owners to use level land efficiently, so no one would be excluded, forced to resort to cliffs. To prevent another man-induced landslide is yet another reason to spread geonomics.
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
an alternative to conventional land trusts. Just as it seems some functions should not be left to the market – private courts and cops invite corruption (while private mediation is fine) – just so some land should not be left in the market. That said, sacred sites do not make much of a model for treating the vast acreage of land that we need to use. So the usual trust model, which is anti-use and counter-market, can not apply where it's needed most. Trust proponents worry about ownership and control – two very human ambitions – but they're not central. Supposedly, we the people own millions acres – acres that private corporations treat as private fiefdoms – and conversely, the Nature Conservancy owns wilderness the public can some places use as parks. So, the issue is not who owns but who gets the rent – ideally, all of us.
what you do when you see economies as part of the ecosystem, following feedback loops and storing up energy. Surplus energy – fat or profit – enables us to produce and reproduce. To recycle society's surplus, the commonwealth, geonomics would replace taxes with land dues (charged to users of sites and resources, in-cluding the EM spectrum, and extra to polluters), and replace subsidies with rent dividends to citizens (a la Alaska's oil dividend). Without taxes and subsidies to distort them, prices become precise, reflect accurately our costs and values; then, motivated by no more than the bottom line, both producers and consumers make sustainable choices. While no place uses geonomics in its entirety, some places use parts of it, most notably a shift of the property tax off buildings, onto locations. Shifting the property tax drives efficient use of land, in-fills cities, improves the housing stock, makes homes affordable, engenders jobs and investment opportunities, lowers crime, raises civic participation, etc – overall it makes cities more livable. Geonomics – a way to share the bounty of nature and society – is something we can work for locally, globally, and in between.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.

Avalon isn't just mythical: it's also a town and popular tourist destination on Santa Catalina Island, but it's in need of an update to get visitors more interested in coming, sticking around, and enjoying all that the town has to offer. To that end, officials are starting in on a comprehensive overhaul, including construction of a museum and other attractions, relying on Los Angeles roofers and other contracting experts to get Avalon ship shape again.

I agree with TS.
Awe man, this is about the Andeton's guys? I love those guys.
I don't hate him... he does seem a little annoying though.
He's a good guitar player... but not great.

I don't mind him.

They are quite long and most people here don't seem to have the patience for that.
You just have to keep in mind.. he's an online celebrity/salesman so to speak.. he's not doing it for free, or out of the goodness of his heart.. he has an (online) business to run. But the whole world is like that.. you rarely get anything for free. Time is money.
I like Chappers' attitude in general. He does it better than lots of other people. I agree that he usually does not criticise the bad points of the guitars.
IMHO, in the final word, his problem lies at a different point.
Chappers generally plays in a rationalistic attitude, as if he was making a calculation for engineering. His problem is being away from emotions. And music requires emotions.
...constantly on the way in thinking...

Dog quilled by porcupine, then abandoned
Submitted: 08/26/2013
Story By Lex Gray
Play Video
- Most pet owners probably can't imagine abandoning an animal. But what if giving up your pet seems to be the only option?
Removing all of the quills on this lab mix cost about $200. That's probably why her owner left her at the front door of the Oneida County Humane Society.
A volunteer found her there about two weeks ago, with quills stuck on her face, paws, and down her throat.
"We took her directly to the vet, and she had immediate surgery to remove them," said director Bria Swartout. "We were told by a couple of the vet centers that they did receive a call about 45 minutes after she showed up at our door of a family inquiring how much it would cost to remove porcupine quills, and they stated they could not afford that."
This dog did get the care she needed, and donations covered some of it.
But abandoning your pet and relying on the humane society aren't the only options.
"We understand that it's hard when you have unexpected vet bills, but always ask your vet if there's other payment options, if they're willing to work with you," Swartout said. "There's Care Credit out there, it's an opportunity to get a credit card for vet bills and other medical issues. There's different opportunities out there, asking family, friends to help you with these things. It's always unfortunate when a family has to lose a pet because they can't afford to do any cares on them."
The lab mix is up for adoption. Swartout guesses she's about a year old, but that's all she knows about her, since she was abandoned.
If you're interested in adopting her, call the Oneida County Humane Society at 715-362-5992.

Recent Yucatan, Mayan Riviera reviews
"I rented the Casita for a month from Jan-Feb this year. The pictures and description are not on the website but accurate pictures and description was sent to me via email promptly. There are two apartments on the property that are larger that are also for rent. The property is set back off the main highway (307) just under 1km and into the town of Akumal its about 3kms. I was without a vehicle for the first three weeks of my stay and found the collectivo an easy and inexpensive way to commute to Akumal Beach or any where along the highway between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum during the daytime. Because the property is off the beaten path a bit it is nice to have a car especially at night to travel between the property and restaurants in town. If walking back to the property at night bring along a torch/flashlight. The Casita was cleaned thoroughly once a week by Wendy, and David maintains the grounds. David speaks some English and Wendy Spanish; if you don't speak spanish an spanish dictionary is helpful when communicating. The kitchen comes with a fridge, microwave, blender,toaster and electric stove top burners and a drinkable water dispenser; pretty much everything you need in a kitchen. Overall, a well priced accomodation for budgetminded travellers."Guest: Cynthia C. Date of Stay: January 2014 Review Submitted: February 20, 2014View listing
"This condo is the best for the people who don't like the big chain hotels and would like to get a taste of local environment while still seeking for high standard accommodation. It was the warm hospitality from Laurie (owner) and Laura (from Moskito) made this condo better than other places. Even before you decide, feel free to email them, you will have all your questions answered in no time with the best suggestions. Transportation: The taxies are quite convenient, but with two little kids and all the stuff we needed to carry around, we decided to rent a car directly from the airport which saved us some money. Driving is fairly easy to all destinations as long as you have a GPS. We saved all the destinations into the GPS including the condo location into GPS, and had no problem. Gas stations are easy to find along the main highway. There is designated parking space at the condo. Beach: The condo is located within walking distance from downtown Playa del Carmen. But if you plan to walk all the way across the town, you might need to take a taxi back home. There is a trail to the beach about 15 mins walking. Very nice beach with miles of white sand, and no crowd!!! Strollers are not easy to access the trail. You won't find milky blue water and coral reef here. there are better places for snorkeling, but you can definitely enjoy the warm wavy water and the white sand. Food: If you have limit budget like us, go buy groceries at Walmart or Mega. They are both located in downtown. At both locations, you can find US standard groceries. Buy tropical fruit instead of apples and peaches. You will be surprised with the quality and price. There are taxis available at the entrance. Condo: The rooms are like 3-4 star hotel. The cleaning lady comes 2 times during our 6 days trip. Plenty of towels to use and everything you need in the kitchen. The big binder on the coffee table has lots info for your trip including takeout food menu! You have to appreciate the thoughtfulness and hard work Laura made for her customers. Make sure to spend some time to enjoy the pool! We always had the pool to ourselves. Look up, there are stars awaits. Destination suggestions: - Akumal Beach: Go have a easy snorkel to see sea turtels!! even my 6-year-old made it. Tour guides are available but not necessary. Beautiful and calm water. - Tulum : most beautiful place to see from up and down. Learned mayan history. bring drinking water and swim in the milky blue water~"Guest: robynwu Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: September 1, 2014View listing
"We just returned from Isla and found everything to be absolutely perfect. The walk-through at the beginning with Stephanie was very informative, and Diana seemed to do a full cleaning each day. The pool access was a hit with our 3 boys, and we found the beach chairs to be perfect for enjoying our favorite beach. We did not use the roof amenities due to the August heat, but I can imagine that that is where we would spend our time during cooler weather--fantastic views and terrific layout. The only surprises were positive ones--more convenient than I imagined, well cared-for, and stunning views. Thanks so much for opening your home for a rental--we look forward to returning! We will definitely recommend this property without hesitation."Guest: One Happy Mama! Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 25, 2014View listing
"First...general building and grounds information. The access to diving or even to the pool required taking the elevator to ground level, then following the hallway to a stairway leading down to the garage, then crossing the garage to a different stairway leading up to the pool and "beach" area. The beach is artificial. There is no direct access to the water from the beach. The whirlpool in the pool area did not work for the second straight year. I am unsure whether it ever works. The elevator did not work for most of one day, but was quickly repaired. The fan in the elevator was broken the entire time, making it feel very warm and stuffy. The building is very well located and in good condition. The grounds are well kept. The pathway to the snorkeling area is convenient and the adjacent snorkeling is better than average. The dock area is not as long as it should be which requires directional docking, sometimes impossible under even medium wind conditions. The concierge services offered are excellent. The unit itself: It was clean throughout and as spacious as advertised. The maid service is excellent, although one day that the maid was supposed to be there she did not show. The concierge had a different maid clean the unit and replace the towels. The promised bath robes did not exist. The televisions worked well. We needed to replace the iPod station remote batteries. Even after that, the range to the station was less than three feet. The furniture is considerable farther away than that. The sliding doors to the very nice balcony do not seal well and rattle loudly when the wind is from the west or north. The sliding doors in the second master ocean side do not even lock. The balcony furniture is very worn, light weight, and slides noisily in the wind. There is one large, easily seen wall clock in the unit that is battery operated. It did not work, even when we replaced the battery. The refrigerator-freezer requires that the doors be pushed in order to close properly and even with a good push sometimes do not seal which sounds an alarm after a while. The "solid" wood doors in the bedrooms that adjoin the great room are not solid wood. They contain large opaque glass panels that offer poor sound insulation and do not offer darkness in the bedrooms when anyone in the great room desires light. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of pillows, and the linens as advertised. The great room furniture was comfortable."Guest: Mark S.

Yucatan, Mayan Riviera Travel Tips
Mayan Resorts Along the Yucatan Peninsula
On your next trip to the Yucatan Peninsula, consider traveling to Mayan resorts. The Mayan Riviera in Mexico is one of the more fascinating destination spots in the world. You have tropical beaches, ancient ruins, and a myriad of marine and wildlife, all steps away from Yucatan vacation rentals. The Mayan Riviera is more than one city; in fact, it is about 11 cities. Popular destinations for Yucatan villas include but are not limited to Playa del Carmen, Playacar, Akumal, Tulum, Puerto Aventuras, Puerto Morelos, and Xpu-Ha.
Forested Scenery near Yucatan Vacation Rentals
As you drive along route 307 to reach Yucatan vacation rentals, you will discover the land is flat and the scenery is akin to a flat forested region much like Canada or Europe. Interspersed along the highway are boulder-laden cliffs that will lead you down to clean, white sandy beaches. Once you arrive at Yucatan villas, you are able to sit on a private beach all day watching the waves roll in or playing in the surf. Playa del Carmen is the most popular Mayan Riviera destination where plenty of Mayan resorts await.
Yucatan Villas by Fifth Avenue
If you elect to stay in Playa del Carmen rather than other Mayan Riviera destinations, you can walk down Fifth Avenue on the local strip and pet wild lions, play with boa constrictors, or watch Maruichi bands. Many of the Yucatan villas are situated on the strip to provide you the most active nightlife and access to the beautiful beach. Cruises dock close to the strip, filling up the town with new faces each Tuesday and Thursday. Because so many cruise ships dock there, you'll find many jewelry stores, arts and crafts stores, and other retail shops that offer wonderful deals.
Mayan Resorts Provide Whale Shark Sightings
Water sports are the most attractive attractions in the Mayan Riviera. From Mayan resorts, you can head out to sea on a deep sea fishing tour or scuba dive boat. If you truly want a diving experience you will never forget, make sure the dive boat is heading to the known locations where the whale sharks hang out. Whale sharks can be very elusive creatures but dive boats in the Mayan Riviera have managed to find areas where they tend to hang out. At the end of your day with water sports, it may be time to head back to your Yucatan vacation rentals for a home-cooked Mexican meal.

Red Bull blunt on cost cap in F1
The commentary has gotten rather blunt in Formula 1 now that the FIA are getting serious about a cost cap for the sport. As teams weight the reality of instituting a cost cap, the push back from top teams such as Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes has meandered from mildly concerned to outright defiance. Today's latest commentary comes from Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz himself telling AUTOSPORT: 'To enforce a budget cap you have to clearly state what is included and what not – what about marketing, drivers' salaries etc?' he said. 'And what if you are a manufacturer and can hide several expenses in other budgets?' Dietrich is stating the most common themes or concerns over the...

Temple gives up statue of ancient Egyptian queen
A Johns Hopkins University archaeological team has unearthed a statue of Queen Ti, one of the most important women in ancient Egypt and wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities announced Monday.
The statue, mostly intact, was found under a statue of Amenhotep III in the sprawling Karnak Temple in Luxor, which was a royal city in ancient Egypt.
The statue, mostly intact, was found under a statue of Amenhotep III in the sprawling Karnak Temple in Luxor, which was a royal city in ancient Egypt.
Ti was the first queen of Egypt to have her name appear on official acts alongside that of her husband. She was known for her influence in state affairs in the reigns of both her husband (1417-1379 B.C.) and of her son, Akhenaton, (1379-1362 B.C.) during a time of prosperity and power in the 18th dynasty. Her son is remembered for being the first pharaoh to advocate monotheism.

The Sunset Limited (US - DVD R1 | BD)
We have package artwork for a Samuel L Jackson film which arrives February 7
Quote: From Cormac McCarthy, author of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and THE ROAD comes this searing two character drama about the choice people frequently make; to go on or give in to despair. Set in a New York tenement apartment, the story focuses on two very different men, a black ex-con (Samuel L. Jackson) who claims to hear the voice of Jesus, and the white professor (Academy Award® winner Tommy Lee Jones) he stopped from throwing himself in front of an oncoming train, The Sunset Limited.
What follows is a philosophical debate with incredibly high stakes – can Black convince White that life is worth living, that once he goes out that door he should not head for a return date with the Sunset Limited? Souls are bared and secrets shared, with Black's faith increasingly challenged by White's bleak but meticulously reasoned view of a world gone wrong. The conflict reaches a shattering conclusion that will leave you thinking well after the final frame.

Nice artwork, seems everyone liked it, I might check this out
This is the first time I even heard of this film from this post, sounds very interesting with shades of American Buffalo with Dustin Hoffman and Dennis Franz. I loved The Three Burials of Melquiades De Estrada and TLJ also masterfully directed that. I will definitely check this film out as well.
What movie ISN'T Samuel L. Jackson in?
Agree with the praise this has received. Two dudes talking in a small apartment for an hour and a half, riveting the entire time. It was a really pleasant surprise.
my favourite
All takes place in one location (based on a play). Amazing and riveting acting. It's pretty much an 80-minute scene that sucks you in and won't let go.
One of my favourites of the year so far.
Sounds like a good story, hope it does not have a stupid ending.

I have worked with Mobpartner for over three years. They have great payouts, great people and great response time. I have never had any issues with them on payment. ALWAYS on time and Always the exact amount. If your honest in your dealings and your traffic sources then there will never be any issue of payment. Negative feedback on this network is most likely due to someone trying to pull a fast one and got caught. And p.s. really not cool to demean a culture and generalize a language based on a few experiences...low class if you ask me.
Great network , many offers and pretty good payout .
They pay net 30 winch is a shame, but they trustworthy !
We work with them to monetize our apps.
Mobpartner is the worst network that I worked with. They don't pay on time, every payment requires attention and a lot of emails. As regular French company, they are arrogant, with bad response time on email.
Just avoid them if you can!
Mobpartner is simply a world class mobile CPA network. They run their own technology platform, pay on time and have some great people on their team. One of the first mobile affiliate networks out there with a great range of offers across a number of verticals.

Lewan First Team AP All American
Michigan OT Taylor Lewan makes first team AA for the third time - this time names by the Associated…
|ND in Primetime; Tom Harmon to be Honored
Michigan to Face Notre Dame in Primetime, and to Honor Tom Harmon as Michigan Football Legend.
Ann Arbor, Mich. – The University of Michigan football team will face the University of Notre Dame in a nationally-televised primetime game at Michigan Stadium, it was announced Tuesday (Dec. 11) in a joint announcement with ESPN. The athletic department will honor 1940 Heisman Trophy winner Tom Harmon, installing him as a Michigan Football Legend during a pre-game ceremony.
The actual game time and ABC/ESPN platform for the Sept. 7, 2013 contest will be announced at a later date. This will be the third consecutive night game played between the winningest programs in college football history.
"Our athletic department is looking forward to recreating the night game magic from two years ago," said Dave Brandon, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics. "We have more in store for this game than the initial night game and will work hard to create many WOW moments. One of those magical moments will be the honoring of Tom Harmon. He is one of the greatest athletes in school history and we are excited to celebrate all that he accomplished at Michigan. Having Tom's 'Old 98' back on the field will be special. This will be a memorable evening for everyone at Michigan Stadium or watching the game on TV. This will be the final match-up with Notre Dame at the Big House for the foreseeable future."
This will be the second-ever night game played at the Big House. The first came against the Irish in 2011, a 35-31 victory by the Wolverines on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Denard Robinson to Roy Roundtree with two seconds left in regulation. Michigan Athletics kicked off its Legends program with the honoring of 1991 Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard during that inaugural night game in school history.
Tom Harmon is regarded as one of the greatest athletes in school history. During his three seasons with the Maize and Blue, he rushed for 2,134 yards, scored 33 touchdowns and threw 16 touchdown passes. Harmon added 33 PATs and booted two field goals to his 33 TDs for 237 career points. After a four-year stint as a pilot during World War II, in which he won a Silver Star and the Purple Heart, Harmon married actress Elyse Knox and played for the Los Angeles Rams in 1946 and 1947. He became one of the nation's top sports broadcasters and directors, reporting live on major sporting events from the Olympics to the Rose Bowl.
In addition to Howard (#21), U-M has honored Bennie Oosterbaan (#47), Gerald Ford (#48), Ron Kramer (#87) and the famed Wistert Brothers – Albert, Alvin and Francis (#11). A permanent patch is affixed to the upper left chest of the game and practice jerseys of all future players that receive the honor of donning the Michigan Football Legends number. Each of the legends will be featured in a special area to be designed and constructed in the soon-to-be renovated Schembechler Hall. The lockers to be used in both Schembechler Hall and Michigan Stadium are customized to reflect the fact that those players will forever by recognized as Michigan Football Legends.
This will be the final meeting between Michigan and Notre Dame at Michigan Stadium for the foreseeable future. The Wolverines lead the series between the two rivals, 13-7, in Ann Arbor. Michigan has won six of its last seven games against Notre Dame in Ann Arbor, including two 38-0 routs in 2007 and 2003. The Wolverines lead the all-time series, 23-16-1.
Michigan Athletics will have additional announcements forthcoming about special activities around the night game with Notre Dame.

Recent food stamp cuts hurting metro families
Nearly 100 local families are in big trouble. Their food stamps are being reduced, and they don't know by how much.
Charities like the Hope Center in Edmond are doing everything they can to help them. The nonprofit serves nearly 1,500 people each month from Edmond and Arcadia.
"People would be surprised to know the level of poverty in Edmond," said Chris Sperry, executive director of the Hope Center.
The worst part for many of these families is not knowing where their next meal will come from.
"Checks are not as big at the moment," said a Hope Center client, who asked to remain anonymous.
The woman was picking up food and clothing at the center Thursday morning. Her family suffered from the furloughs.
"I don't know when he'll get paid, I don't know how they're doing that," the woman said, referring to her husband, a military member and federal civilian employee.
Food stamps are being reduced because of federal budget cuts.
"When you don't know, all you can do is worry," Spery said.
Sperry experts to see even more people showing up in the coming weeks once the cuts take effect. "A lot of people do have to choose, if they pay their rent, then where are they going to find food?" added Sperry. For those who on the edge, a little bit of help is a huge relief.
"We're getting the help that we need, definitely," added the anonymous client. The Hope Center of Edmond gives each family nearly 100 pounds of food for the week. The center also provides clothing and counseling.
Officials say they're in desperate need of donations. The private organization relies on help from churches, civic and philanthropic organizations, and the community.

Q. We heard in class today that steroids are used for autoimmune diseases, and I've heard this before but never understood why. What is it about steroids that make them effective as immunosuppressants?
A. There are lots of mechanisms by which steroids dampen the immune response. Here are a few of them:
1. Suppression of T cells. Steroids interfere with production of cytokines (like interleukins), which are critical in the proliferation and interaction of T cells.
2. Suppression of B cells. Steroids interfere with the binding of interleukins to B cells, which means that the B cells have a hard time proliferating and making antibodies.
3. Suppression of neutrophils. Steroids inhibit just about everything that neutrophils do: adhesion, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and the release of toxic substances.
4. Suppression of macrophages. Steroids down-regulate the expression of Fc receptors on macrophages – so macrophages are less able to phagocytose opsonized things.
5. Diminished production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Steroids inhibit cyclooxygenase and phospholipase A2, which decreases the production of pro-inflammatory arachadonic acid metabolites.
Steroids are used in a ton of different immune and inflammatory disorders, like asthma, vasculitis, arthritis, gout, multiple sclerosis, sarcoidosis, alopecia areata…the list goes on and on.

Dirk Nowitzki expects to play for Dallas Monday in OKC
Feb 4, 2013, 1:04 PM EDT
After missing a couple games with an adductor strain — two games that were close losses for Dallas where the calls didn't go their way — Dirk Nowitzki expects to be back in the lineup Monday night when they face Oklahoma City.
Nowitzki went through a full practice Sunday and told the Dallas Morning News he plans to play.
"I feel OK," Nowitzki said after Sunday's workout in Phoenix. "I went through most of the stuff, a little running, a little shooting. It was pulling a little bit, but as long as it doesn't grab on me and completely tighten up, it's fine. Obviously, the meds had time to kick in over the weekend.
"If there's no setbacks, and I go through the whole shootaround, hopefully I'll get going tomorrow."
Dallas needs him back. While the big German has averaged 14.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game this season (well off recent averages) he's looked like his old self of late. And they need that guy if they have any dreams of a playoff run.
