NORTHERN ILLINOIS WINS AGAIN

TOLEDO, Ohio — Jordan Lynch rushed for 3 touchdowns and 161 yards to lead No. 20 Northern Illinois over Toledo, 35-17, on Wednesday night, securing a fourth consecutive trip to the Mid-American Conference title game. Lynch’s third touchdown, a 1-yard dive into the end zone, capped a 99-yard drive that stretched the lead to 28-17.

ayLynn Hoing lies on the piercing table in a big open event hall at the Midnight Ballroom in Marshalltown, Iowa. Her head hangs as boyfriend Troy Block- er — who calls himself a “professional body modifier” — marks four small dots Kon her back with a blue marker. Those dots denote where the four-gauge Seademon hooks will enter and exit her skin. Blocker, dons surgical gloves, takes the new steril- ized hooks out of their individually wrapped, tightly sealed packages, while her eyes stare off into noth- ingness as if in a trance. The room goes black, the noise fades, and the 24-year-old later tells a Daily Iowan reporter that she soon became unaware of her surroundings. She prepares herself for the feeling of the hooks puncturing and sliding beneath her skin and the subsequent sensation of being lifted into the air. Hoing describes this as her calmest moment. Then, she takes three breaths, and Blocker pierces her skin with each hook slightly positioned inside each shoulder blade. She is aware of the pain, but it feels distant and muted. After her skin is pierced, she sits up on the table, with her head down deep in medita- tion. Her mind is clear of all thoughts, all stress, all frustrations. To her the room is silent and tranquil. She feels the energy circulating through her veins as Blocker does the final check of the pulley system. When he is ready, she stands in front of the pulley system with the ropes at her back. Blocker connects the ropes to the hooks. As she slowly begins the suspension, the hooks tug at her skin — pulling the skin an inch away from its normal position. The weight of her own body seems to engage in a fight with gravity. Her toes lift off the ground, and she is carried higher into the air space of the ballroom floor until she is around 3 to 4 feet above the ground. Suspended in space, a smile grows across Hoing’s face. As she begins to fly, she feels free but is still conscious of the pain. “This is when the pain is the most intense,” Hoing said. “That’s also where I’m focusing most of my en- ergy on overcoming it. I’m just calm, I’m just letting it happen to me.” ••• Dating back to the early 19th century in the Man- dan tribe of North Dakota, body suspension was used

Why you (YES, YOU) should consider becoming a Ledge writer:

• Because I’m sure you’ve prob- ably sat there before, reading the Ledge, and thought, “What a bunch of hacks. I could write funnier stuff than this.” And maybe you can, and here’s your chance to prove it. • Look at me. I grow weary. Won’t you please hold up the sky for me, if only just a moment? • Because instead of sending emails telling me that I should write a Ledge about something, you could write a Ledge about that thing you wanted a Ledge written about. Because, seri- ously, I’m probably not going to write a Ledge about it. • If you’re a dude, it gets you chicks. And if you’re a chick, it gets you dudes. • Because in a comedy column, you don’t have to worry as today’s events much about political correct- ness. • Distinguished Biomedical Scholar Lecture, “Autophagy: Second-Floor Ballroom • Because you will garner (a Regulation, Physiological Functions, and Roles in Disease,” Beth • Campus Activities Board Cultural, Andy Stoll, 8 p.m., Main very small amount of very local) Levine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 4 p.m., Library Shambaugh Auditorium FAME. 1110 Medical Research & Education Facility • The Imaginary Invalid, a re-imagining of the Voltaire classic, • Because why the hell not? • Life in Iowa Trivia Night, 5 p.m., 1117 University Capitol Center Mainstage Series, Theater Building Thayer Theater • You’ll get your picture in the • Foundation of Radiology, with an emphasis on the University of • UI School of Music Presents: Timothy Hsu, violin, 8 p.m., 172 newspaper — and for something Iowa, 5:30 p.m., 401 Hardin Library Music West noncriminal, for once! • Making Healthy Eating a Little Easier, 6:30 p.m., Carv- • Rockstar Energy Drink Presents Most Wanted Tour Featur- 8-9 a.m. Morning Drive • Because even I’m tired of read- er-Hawkeye Feller Room ing Datsik, 9 p.m., Blue Moose, 211 Iowa 10 a.m.-Noon Instru-Mental Madness ing my same old crap every day. • “Live from Prairie Lights,” Patrick Irelan, fiction, 7 p.m., Prairie Noon-2 p.m. Sports Block Lights, 15 S.

Thursday, November 21, 2013 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A change in your living arrangements must be made with caution. Protect your possessions from theft, loss, or damage. A problem with someone you work with must be averted before it escalates into a problem that cannot be fixed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get together with friends or colleagues who share your concerns and interests. Forming a partnership for either personal or profes- sional reasons will complement what you are trying to accomplish. A romantic evening will leave you feeling optimistic. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be willing to take a chance, but before you jump in, question your motives as well as the reason that others are taking part. Uncertainty coupled with misinformation is apparent, and caution must be taken to avoid loss. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let your feelings be known. The more you share, the greater a response you will receive. Love is on the rise, along with closing deals, making promises, and getting what you want. Enjoy the moment, and reach for the stars. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Wait and watch. It’s not up to you to interfere with what others want to do. Go about your business and make personal changes that will help you excel in an area that suits your needs and future prospects. Put yourself first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Strive for satisfaction and reaching your personal goals. Set your destination, and include the people you enjoy spending time with most. Personal achievements will be reached, and self-improvement projects will make you feel good. A romantic encounter is in the stars. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t feel forced to make a decision if you are uncertain. Problems in your personal life due to overindulgence will lead to worry. Setting a budget or rules to live by will help you feel confident enough to make a choice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make your way to the winner’s circle. Trust in your abil- ity, and go full-tilt toward your goals. Ask — you will receive. Set plans for a special outing with someone you love, and it will bring you closer together. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t meddle or exaggerate. Work on personal progress, not on trying to improve others. Change is good, but only if it benefits everyone involved. Proceed with caution and do your best to control your temper. Treat loved ones with respect. You cannot buy love. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Hone your skills, and show everyone what you’ve got to offer. Your intense drive and desire to get things done will raise your profile, giving you a better chance to advance. Romance is heightened. Enjoy the one you love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your money into something that shows growth potential. Avoid joint ventures or relying on hearsay for guidance in the right direction. Fact-finding, coupled with the wherewithal to adapt to change, will lead to victory. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are in control and can advance personally, pro- fessionally, and financially if you trust your intuition. Contracts are favored, along with partnering with someone who has benefited you in the past. Romance is in the stars.

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. — Oscar Wilde
