| Michigan 2007 Hunting and Fishing Licenses on Sale Starting Today
March 1, 2007 -- The Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced that 2007 hunting and fishing licenses go on sale starting today. The prices for the licenses remain unchanged from 2006, however if a fee increase is approved by the Legislature later this year, it may take effect before next year, DNR officials said."We encourage hunters and anglers to purchase their licenses early this year if they would like to take advantage of the current prices," said DNR Director Rebecca Humphries. "We are continuing to work with the Legislature to develop a new license fee package that will likely see incremental increases spread over the next few years. Should the Legislature approve new fees, we hope they will be enacted immediately, but for now licenses remain at 2006 prices."Anglers who purchase a 2007 license should hold on to and use their Michigan Fishing Guide from last year.
Games yesterday and today
BLOOMINGTON -- As you rip the wrapping off that spanking new backgammon set you got for Christmas this year, remind yourself of this: You're helping define who we are as a culture.And you're establishing your role within it.Whew.That may seem an unduly weighty thought to entertain as you tear into a gift seemingly designed as pure naked escapism.But it's true.Or so says the man behind a decidedly playful new touring exhibit opening Saturday at the McLean County Museum of History in downtown Bloomington and continuing through Jan. 21."Asian Games: The Art of Contest" explores the deep Eastern roots of a large bulk of the world's gaming pastimes and traditions.No, ancient China didn't give us PlayStation 3, or even 1 or 2. And ancient India had nothing to do with Monopoly. But these cultures did help lay down the original sets of rules, many of which remain intact a dozen or more centuries later.Offering an amalgam of art reproductions, text panels and actual historic games, the exhibit portrays the social functions of various board, card and ball games in Asia, and charts their spread to other regions and cultures.It also explores such issues as the changing role of games as they were adopted into new cultural contexts; how power, class and gender were reflected in them; intellectual, moral and spiritual associations; and games as competitions and analogues of warfare.And that's just for starters."There is no culture that exists where there isn't some form of game-playing," says Dr.

She's got game
Puebloan Cindy Bowens - online name: Abigale Seashadow - sends all of those stereotypes flying through the nearest open window. She is the mother of two grown kids and in the last eight years much of her time has been spent traveling the country, making use of her notable social dexterity. Even when speaking to someone she's just met, Bowens is funny and forthright. In the world of massively multiplayer online games, or MMOs, she's practically a rock star. It's not because of her playing abilities, although she's at level 70 on "World of Warcraft" - which, for those not familiar with gaming, means she's really good. Bowens is a celebrity in the online gaming sphere because of her work with the games "EverQuest" and the just-released "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes." Though it began almost accidentally, it has led her to a groundbreaking career in a male-dominated universe.
