| THE “ONE MORE DAY” INTERVIEWS WITH JOE QUESADA, PT. 5 OF 5
Thus far weve posted four in-depth interviews with Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada about the controversial One More Day storyline that has set-up a new status quo for Spider-Man going forward. Today on CBR, in our fifth chat with Quesada, we go in a different direction, but that doesnt mean the One More Day interviews are over. Yup, theres one more interview to come and this time you, the reader, get to drive it. As we revealed yesterday, Quesada has agreed to take questions from the fans. To suggest a question, simply send it to Jonah Weiland with the subject line One More Day Questions (please remember to include this) and we here at CBR will choose the 15 best. Please have your questions in by next Tuesday, January 8th. In the mean time, for part five of our interview with Quesada, after nearly 30 pages of "One More Day" discussion it's time to see a different side of Marvel's EiC as we switch gears and talk with Joe about some of his activities outside of Marvel.
Climate Optimism: Global Warming Will Wipe Out Conservative States
While the northeast will also see some coastal flooding, its geography is such that that aside from a few projecting sandbars like Long Island and Cape Cod, the land rises fairly quickly to well above sea level. Sure, Boston, New York and Philadelphia will be threatened, but these are geographically confined areas that could lend themselves to protection by Dutch-style dikes. The West Coast too tends to rise rapidly to well above sea level in most places. Only down in Southern California towards the San Diego area is the ground closer to sea level. So what we see is that huge swaths of conservative America are set to face a biblical deluge in a few more presidential cycles. Incredibly, this makes Lindorff happy, an emotion he appears interested in others sharing: Then there's the matter of the Midwest, which climate experts say is likely to face a permanent condition of unprecedented drought, making the place largely unlivable, and certainly unfarmable.
Reshaped Braves aim toward spring training
What good is a guy batting .305 but chokes when on the road, like Philadelphia, New York (2)and Los Angeles. That's what a Julio, Javy and Kotsay Chipper and Tex can do for us, look the pitcher and the crowd in the eyes and hit the ball. Some of the young guys imped out last year in the really stressing at bats. .
ERG says T-card losses about $250m
ERG plans to take legal action against the New South Wales State Government after indentifing losses of about $250 million so far from the cancellation of a contract to develop a smart card for Sydney's transport network. ERG subsidiary Integrated Ticketing Solutions (IITSL) had told the state's Public Transport Ticketing Corporation (PTTC) last Friday it considered there was no proper basis to terminate the 2003 contract. "The actions of PTTC effectively constituted a repudiation of the agreement,'' it said. "PTTC's actions have caused, and will continue to cause, ITSL/ERG and its related companies extensive loss both within Australia and internationally.'' The loss so far is in the order of $250 million. "ITSL/ERG has only received approximately $13 million from its $350 million 2003 agreement with PTTC to install and maintain the T-card over 10 years.'' ERG shares have been in a trading halt since last Thursday and will remain in a halt for the foreseeable future.

Uplift at the SAG Awards
They did, too, and not just your familiar stunners like Vanessa Williams, Diane Lane and a younger-than-springtime Tom Cruise. Ellen Burstyn, 75, seemed as fresh and buoyant and prominently apple-cheeked as she did three decades ago in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Ruby Dee is 82, and has been in movies (and a lot of places more important, like the civil rights struggle) for 60 years. But when her brief role in American Gangster made her a surprise winner of the supporting actress award sorry, Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role she glided on stage to display all the class and radiance of a perennial American beauty. And Julie Christie, who took the Most Notable Movie Thesping by a Person of the Female Persuasion prize for Away from Her, looked preternaturally glamorous at 66.
Huckabee meets the rest of America
His religious sincerity informs his nearly every political conviction and flavors the populist charm that has gained him so much traction on the campaign trail. He is a social conservative, opposed to gay civil unions, abortion, gun control and stem-cell research. More startling is his avowed skepticism toward Darwin and evolution and acceptance of the seven-days-of-creation message of the Old Testament. Reporters arriving at the hotel headquarters of the Huckabee campaign in Des Moines on Thursday night, as the first Iowa results were coming in, found the usual shambles. There was no one to spin his message -- the veteran Republican consultant Ed Rollins was still nowhere to be seen -- and the most noticeable activity was the prayer circle formed by his young volunteers. No one had even got round to putting up the backdrop behind the podium where, just a few minutes later, Huckabee would be delivering his unlikely victory speech.
