The Activist on Stage
Kathy Blume '85 is alone on stage, in her piece The Boycott. One moment she's the First Lady of the U.S., denying sex to the President until he signs a treaty to stop global warming. Then she's a tree frog, suffering from a skin disease caused by climate change, and then she's Al Gore, and then she's herself: Kathy Blume, activist, writer, and actor, a woman with an abiding passion to save the world through theater.
Kathy believes that art can spur people to act in a way most other ways of learning can not. "In the theater, people expect an intense experience and identify with the people on the stage," she says. "If I create really good theater about something significant, I create an intense and emotional connection that will carry through to the next time they hear about the issue, and this will allow them to engage more deeply."
Kathy has acted for many years off-Broadway in New York and around the country, as well as in movies and television. She also teaches acting and yoga, speaks in public, writes for various environmental books and journals, and serves as an artistic associate at Vermont Stage Company. "Being in film, television, and plays is enjoyable. But doing relevant work that contributes to the cultural conversation about issues we face is the most valuable use of my time," says Kathy. "Given the problems we face right now, it'll take wild, hairy acts of imagination to address the problems."
One act of imagination that brought her much notice was the successful organization, with her friend Sharron Bower, of a simultaneous worldwide reading of Lysistrata in March 2003 as a protest against the onset of the war in Iraq. The experience inspired her to write a play, The Accidental Activist, which she toured to over 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada, launching her on her solo career. At the time she was working on a screenplay of a modern eco-adaptation of Lysistrata, which she called The Boycott. She decided to turn it into a solo piece, and is now touring with it. (For clips, visit her website.) It's an unexpectedly funny piece: "Part of me is a terribly apocalyptic thinker. It's my conscious choice to be positive and funny," she says.
As a solo artist, Kathy's time is taken up with the business end of her work, including marketing, fundraising, and public relations—dealing directly with herself and her ideas, as does any entrepreneur. Her goal is to raise money for a live concert film of the production for distribution in theaters or for broadcast on cable channels. Kathy keeps going in the tough work of making theater by always keeping her goal in mind: "It's not to convince people of global warming but to help them grasp that action has to be taken, that we can overcome overwhelming internal despair and change our habits."

Central to the Alliance strategy is our commitment to bring the voice of communities into national, regional and international debates on HIV, health and social policy. It also challenges the Alliance to strengthen the capacity of civil society, including key populations, to engage in key decision-making fora.
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE In 2011:
TARGET: Nine fully functioning National Partnership Platforms (NPPs) have been established and are contributing to national policy initiatives.§
TARGET: In at least four countries where the Alliance prevention campaign is implemented, structural changes are recorded showing that key populations' rights are better protected by governments.
National Partnership Platforms (civil society forums which aim to coordinate advocacy initiatives) and the What's Preventing Prevention? campaign are two tools through which the Alliance works at the national level to strengthen civil society engagement in policy discussions.
In 2011, 16 Linking Organisations influenced change in national policy, both through joint civil society action and as individual organisations.
Seven of these were supported by the Alliance prevention campaign.Ɨ
Successes include:
- MONASO (Mozambique) drafted a bill protecting the rights of people living wit h HIV in health care settings, which was passed by Parliament. Health care workers have since been trained about the law and ways of protecting the rights of people living with HIV. Ɨ
- Khmer HIV/AIDS NGO Alliance (KHANA) has a good working relationship with the Cambodian government's security and drug authorities. The government h as asked KHANA for assistance in improving its understanding of the HIV situation among people who use drugs, and guidance in appropriate responses.
- The Centre for Supporting Community Development Initiatives (SCDI) is supporting the Vietnam Civil Society Platform on AIDS (VCSPA), a national partnership platform, to advance the voices of key populations in national policy discussions.§
- Alliance Uganda has a pivotal role in the development of the Maternal Health Coalition, a campaign that demands an effective improvement in the delivery of maternal health care. Ɨ §
- In Bolivia Instituto de Desarrollo Humano (IDH) laid the foundations for the Citizen Observatory which monitors and compiles information on the discrimination of key populations in health care centres.§
At the international level, the What's Preventing Prevention? campaign supported Linking Organisations with their national lobbying in the run up to the UN High Level Meeting in June 2011 . This contributed to the Final Declaration which included commitments that reflected key Alliance messages and set measurable targets to treat 15 million people by 2015.
Over 1,800 people took action on the What's Preventing Prevention? campaign site, which launched in 2011. People took action on issues affecting key populations and access to HIV prevention and treatment services around the world.
TARGET: In 70% of countries where the Alliance works there is participation of key populations in Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs).
Key populations includes men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender people and people who use drugs. In the Latin America region this year, this has been achieved in six Alliance countries (Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Mexico) largely through the participation of sex workers and transgender people in CCMs.
As a result of this representation of key populations, there has been an increase in proposals submitted under the Global Fund's MARP (most at risk populations) stream of funding. For example, a $12 million Round 10 grant from the Global Fund was awarded to REDTRASEX following their involvement in 11 Global Fund CCM's across Latin America and there has been increased representation of transgender people regionally.
Late in 2011, the Alliance reacted strongly to the news that the Global Fund was to cancel its Round 11 funding cycle. We endorsed a global call to action for donors and started working with five Alliance Linking Organisations to document the potential impact in their countries. Our report, Don't Stop Now: how underfunding the Global Fund impacts on the HIV response was launched in January 2012. It reviews the impact of the cuts in Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Sudan, Bangladesh and Bolivia.

Ɨ These targets and achievements relate to the What's Preventing Prevention? campaign
These ambitious targets are taken from our strategic framework HIV and Healthy Communities, and drive our performance for the period 2010-2012. In addition, the Alliance has a related set of targets for our strategic donors.

|Kingdom of Fife
The church of Largo was dedicated by Bishop de Bernham in 1243 and belonged, prior to the reformation, to the Benedictine Nunnery of North Berwick. It is thought that the church was rebuilt in the early years of the 17th cent and restoration work was later carried out in 1894. In 1958 Largo united with Newburn under the name of Largo and Newburn and a link was later established in 1987 with the charge of Largo St David's. The kirk session sits within the Presbytery of St Andrews.
At the time of the Disruption in 1843 the minister of the parish of Largo, and a substantial proportion of his congregation, adhered to the Free Church, and for a time worshipped in a temporary wooden building until the church of Largo Free Church was opened in 1844. Mission work was additionally conducted from 1884 in the district of New Gilston. Following the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church of Scotland in 1900, Largo Free Church became the session of Largo United Free Church and after a brief linkage with Lathones from 1917 to 1924, the congregation was dissolved.
The Relief congregation of Largo dates back to the year 1771 and it is thought to have been established as the result of a group of parishioners who were expressing dissatisfaction with the Established Church. A church was erected to house the new congregation, which was later rebuilt in 1872, and on 18 March 1772 the first minister, Robert Patterson, was ordained. From 1847 the church was part of the United Presbyterian Church. Following the union of the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church of Scotland in 1900, the congregation became Lower Largo United Free Church, later Lower Largo St David's U.F.; and following the union of the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland in 1929, Largo St David's Church of Scotland. In 1987 Largo St David's, which sits within the Presbytery of St Andrews, linked with the charge of Largo and Newburn.

In years past, the Linksys WRT54G wireless router was popular with hackers, who could easily modify the router's Linux kernel to suit their own needs. While Linksys—now Cisco—has never officially endorsed this practice, its new 802.11n router, the $119 WRT160NL, tacitly acknowledges their efforts. The company doesn't offer any features to make Linux hacking easier—and you still void the warranty if you cook your own firmware—but it's an interesting wrinkle in a field otherwise crowded with devices that look and function the same.
Setup and Design
As with most Linksys routers, the setup process on the WRT160NL—which took only three minutes—is simple, fast, and not meant for the advanced user; anyone who just needs whole-house wireless access will be pleased. The router sports a thin and stylish clamshell design. Although this look hasn't changed much in the past two years, it's still one of the more attractive designs compared to the techie-looking D-Link models.
There's a USB port on the back of the WRT160NL, which can be used to add an external drive. In our tests, we used a 160GB Seagate FreeAgent USB 2.0 hard drive; the router allowed us to format the drive, split up partitions, and make the drive available for both a Mac OS X notebook and a Windows 7 system without any complex setup steps. The WRT160NL uses external antennas, which is an unusual feature since most Linksys routers now have internal antennas. This is another nod to customizers who want to add high-powered antennas.
The WRT160NL is not the fastest N router we've tested, but it performed adequately. Using IxChariot, a wireless benchmarking utility, the top speed was close to 80 MBps, about 16 Mbps short of the average, and about 46 Mbps less than the Linksys WRT610N. The WRT160NL also suffers when it comes to coverage, failing to get a signal at 300 feet while the WRT610N and the D-Link DIR-855 and DIR-628 still provided between 4 and 24 Mbps of throughput. Still, we can see modders adding an antenna or other such accessory in lieu of the included antennas to boost the range.
We tested several laptops to make sure they worked well with the WRT160NL. An older Macbook—which supports 802.11n—maintained a smooth connection, as did an HP Mini netbook over 802.11g.
Linksys is not as well known as D-Link for its exceptional quality-of-service technology, but on the WRT160NL, this feature worked quite well. (QoS smooths transmissions for such activities as streaming video and VoIP.) We used Skype while downloading a Wolfenstein demo from Gamespot.com; with QoS turned on and enabled for Skype, calls were smooth. Without QoS enabled, our calls would frequently sound delayed or fail outright.
We also tested media streaming from the WRT160NL to an Xbox 360 using the movie Miracle at St. Anna (a 2GB standard-def file). The router, which supports UPnP for media streaming, never had any problems.
Hacking Encouraged
While most routers use some form of the Linux kernel, Linksys has committed to making the WRT160NL the go-to router for those who wish to customize the firmware—which usually involves adding Linux apps for capturing BitTorrent streams automatically or for working with a particular security protocol. Of course, such customization is not for novices; Linksys offers nothing in the way of a guide, utility, or the like for newbies, only the company's assurance that it won't move this model away from a Linux platform.
Overall, the Linksys by Cisco WRT160NL is a capable router, and is the one you want if you're planning any Linux customizations. We also like the removable antennas and USB port for sharing storage across a network. It's not the fastest router on the block, but the WRT160NL is tailor made for tinkerers.

TUSCALOOSA -- Alabamas coaching staff didnt waste anytime hitting the recruiting trail on with Thursday marking the end of the NCAAs dead period.
The big news from the Crimson Tides side of things came from new offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin heading to Oxford to visit five-star Auburn commit Racean Roc Thomas.
Thomass high school coach Ryan Herring confirmed that Kiffin was in Oxford and that he visited with Thomas for about 30 minutes.
The blue-chip running back prospect took some unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa last spring and fall, but has remained firm in his pledge to the Tigers.
Hes 100 percent (committed to Auburn), Herring told the Anniston Star. I havent seen any change. I dont think youre going to see a change.
Thomas, who was named Mr. Football for the state of Alabama on Wednesday, has been committed to Auburn since August of 2013.
At 5-foot-11, 200-pounds, Thomas rushed for 2,211 yards and 32 touchdowns as a senior.
With Auburn running back Tre Mason leaving early for the NFL Draft, Thomas could play a big role as a true freshman on the Plains.
Anniston Star reporter Brandon Miller contributed to this report.
Scarbrough moving back to Tuscaloosa
Alabama commit Bo Scarbrough is transferring back to Tuscaloosa County High School, according to multiple reports.
After playing his first three years at Northridge High, Scarbrough briefly transferred to Tuscaloosa County in June of 2013.
In August of 2013, he left Tuscaloosa County for IMG Academy, a Bradenton, Florida-based private athletic training institute.
Scarbrough is listed as an athlete with scouts saying he could play running back, H-back or wide receiver in college. He is a five-star prospect and the No. 3 rated athlete in the nation, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Scarbrough was the Tides first commitment of the 2014 class, pledging to the Tide in September of 2012. He is expected to transfer next week.
Brown still recruiting
Despite reports that he will step down, Alabama defensive backs coach Greg Brown is still recruiting, according to Bamaonline.com.
Brown reportedly hit the road with Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban to visit 2015 prospects.
Brown is expected to step down to all Kevin Steele to transition back into an off-field coaching position, according to reports.
Steele is currently the Tides director of player personnel.

A business is a collection of people who must come together for the common good of the company. However, you can't just expect that a group of individuals will become a team on their own. You have to put them in the right places and situations to help them become a cohesive group. Here are some great team building exercises to help your coworkers bond as a team.
Let Them Play Ball
It isn't always easy for people to come out of their shells in the office. Some people are strictly business while on the clock or are too shy around people who they don't know. However, playing a game can be the perfect way for everyone to have fun and forget about their issues. A game of softball or volleyball can help everyone bond and learn how to work together. It also allows employees to blow off some steam in a safe and healthy environment.
An Outing Or Retreat Can Do The Trick
Taking the group out for dinner or for a weekend away can have a great effect on everyone. When you are in a casual social situation, you forget that you are out with colleagues. Instead, you treat the event as if you are out with friends. When you think of your colleagues as friends, you will work harder for those people. That brings everyone together quickly and creates a sense of accountability in the workplace that wouldn't otherwise exist.
Create A Competition
Everyone enjoys a good friendly competition. Divide your employees into teams of roughly equal sizes. Then, develop a goal for every employee to meet. For example, you could have a sales competition or a competition to come up with the next company slogan. The winning team should then be given a small reward such as a day off or a bonus in their next paycheck. Everyone wants to be known as the leading contributor of the team that wins the office challenge.
Do Something For Charity
A great way to bring your coworkers together is to have them focus on a cause that is bigger than themselves. Having the team donate time, money or expertise to a charitable cause helps everyone put their differences aside for a good cause. This will hopefully help any squabbling colleagues get over any issues that they are having and learn that they can work together. Your workers will also feel good knowing that they have helped someone who is less fortunate.
Scavenger Hunts Promote Individual Skills
A scavenger hunt can help each individual figure out what their unique skills are. Management can use these events to find those can think outside of the box, who follows directions well, and posesses other skills that can be useful in the office. These types of events can help employees gain confidence in themselves. Holding an event such as a scavenger hunt will also help employees understand that everyone is important and valuable in the working environment. When employees accept and understand this concept, they will work well with everyone else in the office. This increases productivity while also increasing efficiency.
When employees feel like they are working as part of a cohesive team, they will want to work harder and better. No one wants to be the person who keeps other team members and the company from meeting its goals. Team building activities can improve morale, increase productivity and help everyone find their role in the company.

I've been doing some tinkering around and looking for a progressive program that will allow me to build strength to hit my goal of the 543 club (500lb dead lift, 400lb squat and 300lb bench). My goal is also to stay pretty lean and in good GPP shape.
From past experience, I've found I enjoy and respond well to full body work outs 3x a week... So far I've put together this program based upon 531 weight/set/rep programming and one day of mixed gpp day.... Tell me what you think.
531 style for Bench Press and Squat. After the basic lifts, throw in a couple accessory lifts (ie dips, various db presses etc.) and one counterbalancing movement like chin ups or rows.
Wednesday: GPP/Cross trainig day
Sled dragging, Kettlebell work, Body weight exercises, Sandbag work, Sprinting
531 style for SOHPress and Dead lift. After the basic lifts, throw in a couple accessory lifts (ie dips, various db presses etc.) and one counterbalancing movement like chin ups or rows.
If I follow this program and can progress by 5-20lbs (depending on the lift) per month I will hit my goals by 2011.
I've attached a spreadsheet that formulates all the 531 numbers for those interested in following a program based on something similar.
What do you think?
Sounds very much like what I will be doing for the next few cycles to see how it works...
Squat - 5/3/1
S.l.d.l. - 4 x 7
Bench - 5/3/1
Rows - 4 x 7
Deadlift - 5/3/1
Press - 5/3/1
Chins - various
Situps - 3 x 10
Workout twice a week and sled pulls twice a week. More of a Hardgainer setup using the 5/3/1 progression. Wendler suggests not doing the deloads if you only workout twice a week. I think I'll go ahead and deload every second cycle. I need fewer days working out but want to do the lifts once a week. So, I think this might be a good experiment for me. We'll see how it goes, I'm starting it next week.
Off Road Journal
AtLarge Nutrition Supplements Get the best supplements and help support Wannabebig!
I like that idea. I may tweak the deload week to a high volume week... Maybe 70-75% of 1RM for 3x10 across. The goal behind that would be for a little strength endurance/hypertrophy.
I am pretty excited about starting this tomorrow.

Hi Mate I'v purchased that funtastic theme, great job Tell me if its possible to install it with Wordpress ? Cheers
Hi. This is just a html template, it needs to be programmed to work on any cms. However a fully functional WordPress version exists (not on themeforest at the moment), if you want to get more info contact us through our contact form: http://themeforest.net/user/Studio_WiLD#from
I've got a question with regard to the way the portfolio displays on the home page. My entire portfolio consists of approximately 30 items and about 6 skills. Obviously displaying all 30 items on the home page is way too much so I have chosen to display just 6. However, the home page displays ALL skills, even for projects that are not shown on the home page and when I click on one of the listed skills for a project that is not showing on the home page, nothing shows up. I need to try and modify this by either having the project appear when the category is clicked or to by not displaying categories for projects that are not on the home page.
Many thanks
Apologies, I've just noticed that this is the wrong Forest theme. Sorry.
It doesn´t work in crome, what can I do?
Can you explain us better your issue? Can you provide us a screenshot or a url where to see your page?
Send us the screenshots at email@example.com

A Las Vegas judge Wednesday ruled there was enough evidence to proceed with murder charges against a 65-year-old man accused in two cold case slayings.
Nathan Burkett faces charges in connection to the 1978 homicide of Barbara Ann Cox and the 1994 slaying of Tina Mitchell.
A preliminary hearing for Burkett was scheduled for Dec. 26 at 10:30 a.m.
According to Las Vegas Metro police, law enforcement in Mississippi arrested Burkett in August in connection to the slayings.
Metro homicide detectives said DNA evidence linked Burkett to the slayings, which were, at some point, considered cold cases.
Metro Lt. Ray Steiber said the victims were strangled and their bodies dumped.
Police were also looking into Burkett's connection to other unsolved cases.
Stay tuned to FOX5 for the latest on this ongoing story.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Women who work for the city, county and Water, Gas and Light, took a long lunch break today to learn about the importance of self breast exams. October is breast cancer awareness month.
In addition to breast health, the women took part in free screenings for things like high blood pressure and diabetes. Beverly McCrimmon said, "The ladies were very very interested in education regarding breast cancer and things of that nature."
Phoebe and Subway partnered with the government agencies for the Women at Work program.

Have yet to play it. I'm excited about the psp version as well, but a little worried about the controls.
Now, must play.....
|#422 Subject: I do <3 Katamari Posted: 09/28/2005 14:44:37
The second game is just as much fun as the first *and* they know how to make fun of the game's popularity. It's pretty brilliant! Go pick it up now~

i know it sounds corny, but bring on the katamari schwag! anyone know where to get a good katamari t-shirt? how can we be so behind in supporting the greatness of this game?
|#424 Subject: RE Merchandising Posted: 10/16/2005 21:19:30
I don't know if they make Katamari t-shirts - though I do have a cell phone strap of the prince - I found two t-shirts on ebay although I could not tell if they were legit merchandise and they were ugly to boot.
If you really want a Katamari shirt, you can this special paper which acts as an iron on transfer, only it's printer paper. Basically, you print your design and just iron it onto a shirt. My boyfriend's friend has made several shirts this way and it seems that GAP stretch shirts work fairly well. You may want to get a cheaper shirt to do a test with.

I saw a great Katamari shirt, though I can not remember where I saw it. It was black, and in white there was a picture of the prince and a katamari. Below it was "This is how I roll!" If I can find it again I will post the link.
|#426 Subject: Re: Just for Katamari? Posted: 10/19/2005 21:08:19
I wouldn't buy a PSP solely for Katamari either, but I still think it's an excellent decision that will bring the increase in PSP sales that Sony needs right now. Also, ditto on getting the handheld if more games like Katamari came out for it.
Thumbthug: Yeah, I'm slightly concerned about how the controls will turn out too. It'll be interesting to see how the developers work around the fact that the PSP has only one analog stick.
|#427 Subject: Current Handheld systems Posted: 10/19/2005 21:22:33
I think that both the DS and the PSP need to have more soild titles come out.
Either way, I'm excited about PSP Katamari. I just wish I could get my hands on one of those Katamari PSP cases.
|#428 Subject: Current Handheld Systems Posted: 10/22/2005 22:55:02
Agreed. Things are starting to look better for both handhelds, though; I like how Nintendo has such a long list of upcoming DS releases, and it would be a smooth move if Sony brought over the fresh (as in Katamari-fresh) title Loco Roco, as well as that game called Tokobot, from the guy who made Fatal Frame.
|#429 Subject: Katamari PSP covers Posted: 10/27/2005 12:10:00
Apparently, when you pre-ordr My, My Katamari in Japan you get a Katmari cover for your PSP.
The Japanese get all the good stuff. I can't wait for one of these things to pop up on ebay.
|#430 Subject: Cool Posted: 10/29/2005 21:01:46
Awesome for Japan.
Hm, the past few messages have only been us talking... heh.
|#431 Subject: Katamari Soundtrack Posted: 11/01/2005 10:11:22
There is a download out there for the We Love Katamari Soundtrack. The full one. I got it off of someone's Livejournal. Forgive me for not posting a link, I have no idea how I found it. Just random googling of "We Love Katamari Soundtrack".
The song called Houston makes me giddy because that is my home town. My favorite though is Angel Rain by You. Everlasting Love is a good one too.
|#432 Subject: hey Posted: 11/12/2005 13:56:51

Who sings the song "EVERLASTING LOVE" on the We <3 Katamari Soundtrack?
|#435 Subject: I am beyond addicted Posted: 11/25/2005 04:02:15
I'm also trying to figure out who sings "Everlasting Love". It took me forever to figure out who sings "Lonely Rolling Star", so I'm not about to give up hope yet.
Re: Katamari Shirt
It's no longer available, from what I can tell.
I'm not one to sit and try to unlock everything in a game, but this is one series I need to properly digest.
|#436 Subject: "Everlasting Love" Posted: 11/25/2005 04:03:40
... is performed by Alisa.
|#437 Subject: Everlasting Love... Posted: 11/30/2005 00:15:07
That is like one of my favorite tracks on We Love Katamari...it also represents my "everlasting love" for that game haha =P.
|#438 Subject: RE: Everlasting Love Posted: 12/03/2005 10:50:05
I was really surprised to find out that the girl who sang this song as done nothing else.
Amazon has the We <3 Katamari soundtrack for like 33$ or something, which isn't a bad price for a Japanese CD.

|#439 Subject: Katamari Ring Tones Posted: 12/20/2005 10:18:35
Sorry, I cut and pasted this from the Namco Classics Club, but I think it's pretty revelant here, too.
1up.com friend mechamappy informed me of this yesterday, but I thought I'd go into more detail once I checked it out! Namco has some more songs on their Pac-Man Arcade Corner Ring Tone service, and they're pretty cool. Check www.namcogames.com to see if your phone can use them. Anyway, here some that I checked out:
They have Dig Dug, Pac-Man, Rally-X, and Galaga songs from the arranged versions on the PSP Namco Museum! The Galaga one isn't very good, but the Dig Dug one sounds just like the PSP song when you have to hurry up. And they have the stages from Pac-Man and Rally-X Arrangement, too!
They have Katamari songs! Including my favorites: Katamari on the Rocks and Lonely Rolling Star. Wish they had Everlasting Love from We Love Katamari, but they have other songs from that, too!
They also have stage 2 from Pac-Pix! That's my favorite song from the game! They also have some songs from the cell phone version of Taiko Drum Master, as well as others like Ace Combat 4 and 5, Ridge Racer, Tekken games, and others.
I'm glad I got the biggest credits package when I downloaded the Arcade Corner ring tone service. Now I'll have to decide which ones of the new batch to download! --Cary
|#440 Subject: Cheaper than going crazy Posted: 01/04/2006 21:22:57
I just bought the first katamari and I'd like to say this is the only game that can put me in a zen like trace one second and giggle like a little school girl the next. Keep rollin'. PSP version needs to drop and quick.
|#441 Subject: hopefully Posted: 01/05/2006 16:40:45
they'll be one for the PS3

I have heard nothing of Katamari for the DS, but 1.up has a listing for such a title? Is this a hoax? Anyone know? Thanks, plebe
|#444 Subject: Katamari's future Posted: 01/19/2006 20:40:35
Of course I cannot find the article now, but a few weeks ago a friend showed me an article about how the creator of Katamari was leaving the game design field to go build children's playgrounds so god only knows if we'll ever see a sequel past the three known games.
Speaking of, are there dates yet for Me and My Katamari for the PSP?
|Cary Woodham
|#445 Subject: Me and Mine Posted: 01/20/2006 09:03:45
Well, I'm sure if Namco wanted to, they could make a Katmari game without the original creator's input. If they think they can still make lots of money, they will.
I think Katamari PSP will be out around March in the US. --Cary
|#446 Subject: Actually.. Posted: 01/22/2006 01:08:23
In the article Takahashi says that he can't see himself making games in 10 years, and afterward he'll move on to designing playgrounds (which I expect will be awesome).
I'm sure we'll see some more awesome games from the dude before then.
|#447 Subject: Me and My Katamari US Release Date announced... Posted: 02/07/2006 19:11:37
Just checked ebgames.com and they have "Me and My Katamari" listed for release March 21, 2006. They also have a pic of the game package. I really like it - much better than the Japanese release. The pic is small but I did add it to the club gallery below.

|#448 Subject: 2-D Katamari Posted: 02/17/2006 12:13:48
|#449 Subject: old hat for most Posted: 02/21/2006 11:51:06
so i finally broke down and bought a copy of We Love Katamari. this game pretty much has me laughing my ass off, whether from how the game laughs at (and with) its self, to all of the comical little touches (like the VS ranking screen that you explore as a worm or a butterfly (i love how players with a negative score are under ground, and players with a positive score are above), or running around the selcet field singing songs).
i'm taking my time in enjoying the game (as i don't want it to end too soon), playing each level half a dozen times before moving on. while it might not be too noticable at first, this game looks MUCH better than its younger brother
the only negative thing that i have noticed is that i am singing katamari music now more than ever (a feat i thought impossible)
also, if anyone knows of a parenthesis addiction group, sign me up.
thanks, plebe
|#450 Subject: Improvements Posted: 02/21/2006 13:01:06
I enjoyed being able to see through objects instead of getting completely lost. That could be a bit rough. Both games certainly have their charm though~

In the absence of a Moe Tkacik China report, I pluck this graf out of a NYT piece. It describes the aftermath of Obama's Shanghai townhall:
"I will not forget this morning," one Chinese Twitter user posted on the Internet, apparently using software to get around the government firewall. "I heard, on my shaky Internet connection, a question about our own freedom which only a foreign leader can discuss."
I don't honestly know the durability of that impact, but that struck me. As the Times reports, Obama declined to discuss human rights in Xinjiang and Tibet. I wonder if his message would have been more or less resonant if he did. We often forget that we're not the only ones who fall victim to nationalism.

As any fan of "Chinatown" knows, the history of power in this town can be revealed by following something even more revelatory than the money: water. Control that and you can call yourself king of the desert.
The most memorable scene in Culture Clash's "Water & Power," which had its world premiere Sunday at the Mark Taper Forum, involves a fight for property around the Los Angeles River. Dakin Matthews, sporting a flashy white suit and equally flashy ruthlessness, plays a greedy developer (imagine Donald Trump crossed with Truman Capote) out to exploit the personal vulnerability of a state senator (Richard Montoya), who's trying to pass legislation that will keep the area green for his East L.A. constituency.

A fire that erupted Monday at a main shopping center in Doha killed 19 people, including 13 children, the interior ministry said.
The blaze left "19 dead, including 13 children, among them seven girls and six boys, in addition to four female teachers," the ministry said on its Twitter page, citing the country's health minister.
The children were apparently at a day care center in the mall.
Two members of the civil defense also died in the fire, it said.
The large blaze broke out in the capital's main Villagio shopping center, the ministry said.
The upscale mall includes a canal with gondola, an IMAX theater and ice skating rink.
Footage posted online showed black smoke billowing from the shopping center as emergency vehicles rushed to the scene.

Earl Sweatshirt Floats in the Ether in 'Chum'
December 5, 2012 9:25 AM
It's true that the Odd Future crew is known for their antics and standoffish lyrics, but Earl Sweatshirt takes an introspective turn in the new video for "Chum," floating into the ether as he raps about being "too black for the white kids / too white for the blacks" over a stoned, meandering piano figure. Sweatshirt finds mutant frogs and skull-faced dogs, and the only other human in his sphere is a faceless drummer in a skeleton hoodie. It's not growing up, it's growing wise.

Angels In Canada is an organization run by Mark Starmer, a gifted channel, teacher & speaker and his wife Sharon, a healing practitioner and teacher.
Its primary purpose is to offer information & guidance for those on their journey along the Ascension Pathway.
Marks gift of channeling was discovered when Ascended Master Sanat Kumara requested permission to make his presence known through him.
In the years that followed, he has been on what can only be described as a personal training course involving a host of light beings assisting in his development as a clear & strong channel for Archangel Michael, the host of Archangels & the Ascended Masters.
Recognizing that Calgary was becoming an increasingly spiritual area, Mark was guided to form AIC in order to cater for those who are hungry for learning locally. This work rapidly expanded nationally and what had begun as Angels In Calgary, became Angels In Canada.
Mark lives in Bragg Creek with his wife his two
children and an abundance of four legged friends.
He welcomes the opportunity to assist you in your
journey on the Ascension Pathway and hopes to meet
you soon.

A federal grand jury today charged Ruffin Poole, former Gov. Mike Easley's counsel and close aide, on 51 counts of corruption.
The 64-page indictment alleges that Poole, 37, of Raleigh, extorted money from key Easley supporters and took corresponding action on environmental permits. It charges him with bribery, use of the mail in aid of racketeering, and says his actions deprived North Carolina citizens of his "honest services."
The indictment says that Poole was a silent investor in development projects pushed by developers in Wilmington and Charlotte, making tens of thousands of dollars in profits on projects that he influenced in his government work. In his capacity as Easley's legal counsel, he pressed government officials for action on environmental permits on the projects he invested in, the charges say.
The indictment doesn't name the developers, but it is clear that they are Lanny Wilson of Wilmington and Gary Allen of Charlotte. Earlier in the day, Wilson resigned from the state Board of Transportation.
It is the first indictment issued in a lengthy federal probe surrounding Easley, who was governor from 2001 until last year.
Easley, who was the state's attorney general from 1993 to 2001, has denied wrongdoing.
The former Governor released this statement through his lawyer, Joe Cheshire, Thursday night:
'We have reviewed the indictment of Ruffin Poole. While Governor Easley has no knowledge of the conduct that makes up the criminal allegations therein, he has faith in Ruffin Poole and finds it hard to believe that he would ever intentionally violate the law. Ruffin Poole, like anyone else charged with a crime, deserves the presumption of innocence, not a rush to judgment. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."
Poole has not talked publicly about the ongoing investigation and fought efforts by the state Board of Elections to compel his testimony in a recent state hearing that examined fundraising activities of the Easley campaign.
Last month, Poole asserted his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself before the board and lost his job at the McGuireWoods law and lobbying firm, where Easley also works.
Poole first worked with Easley as an associate attorney general beginning in Nov. 1998, several months after he graduated from N.C. Central's law school. Poole joined Easley's senior staff after the 2000 election.
Poole's various titles under Easley in the governor's office were special counsel, executive counsel and legal counsel.
But Poole was also known as the fix-it man in the upper levels of state government; he was the go-to person on regulatory, permitting, transportation and appointment concerns.
Poole traveled with Easley frequently, too, often for political reasons. The two went to Chicago in June 2008 to meet with then-candidate Barack Obama and other governors, for example.
Easley also appointed Poole to the Golden LEAF foundation board, which oversees how millions from the national tobacco settlement are distributed in North Carolina. Poole resigned that position last month after coming under criticism for refusing to testify in the state hearing.
When Easley left office and joined the McGuireWoods law and lobbying firm a year ago, Poole was part of the deal. The two shared an assistant at the firm until Poole left the firm ast month.
Poole registered last year to lobby for the American Association of Physician Specialists of Tampa, Fla.; the Pool Safety Council in Washington; and Regulatory Consultants Inc. of Albuquerque, N.M.
Poole started out in politics while working for Zeb Alley, a veteran lobbyist who often has ranked in surveys as the most influential lobbyist in Raleigh.

Internet myth or a legit warning?
My neighbor started going through all the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning which stated "may be harmful to small children and animals.�
He called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the ingredients. Actually he was told it's a compound which is one molecule away from antifreeze).
Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its own paws, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver.
More here.
Geez. Enough to make a dad panic!
So I went and checked our WetJet materials and did not find the warning quoted above. What I did find was this: "Avoid accidents: Keep out of reach of children and pets. In case of eye contact, flush thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, call a physician."
I then went here and found this:
Does it contain propylene glycol n-propyl ether?
Yes, this ingredient, or other similar propylene glycol-based materials, may be used in the Wet and WetJet cleaning solutions at low levels. These chemicals have a long history of safe use in cleaning products. While it has a long scientific name that may sound like other chemicals, the use of propylene glycol-based materials in our products are safe to humans and pets.
UPDATE: It's a hoax.
You can't be too careful with a company that worships the Devil.
You never know...so I posted it but I was quickly told that it was a hoax...sorry!!
No apology necessary. As the father of a 19-month-old things like that hit my radar fast. Also, I thought you put your post in proper context. A great blog, by the way!

He's My Brother, She's My Sister On World Cafe
By David Dye
Originally published on Thu September 26, 2013 10:47 am
Joining us in the studio for hour two of Tuesday's World Cafe is the Los Angeles band He's My Brother, She's My Sister. As the name implies, lead vocalists Robert and Rachel Kolar are indeed siblings.
Along with three other band members, the two have been crafting an eclectic mix of theatrical folk, garage, and even vaudeville-influenced music since 2010. After putting out a couple of singles, He's My Brother, She's My Sister released its debut album last year; it's titled Nobody Dances in This Town. Hear the band perform four songs from the record on today's show.

TSA Expands Family Lanes
As a frequent traveler, TSA's most recent announcement puts a smile on my face.
After testing its Diamond Self-Select program in 48 airports across the country, TSA announced that it will expand the family lanes to cater to those who want to go through security at their own pace. For those of us who know the ropes by heart, this means not having to wait for the kiddos to remove their shoes and an all-around quicker security process.
This "green" lane is also designated for individuals carrying medically necessary liquids, aerosols and gels in excess of three ounces.
My name: Jennifer Gaines, but my friends call me Gaines, Jenni-Dallas or just plain Jenn.
(Find me on Twitter @jenngaines)
Travel ambitions: It's my mission to visit each of the New 7 Wonders and to step foot on every continent before my next milestone birthday.
Greatest travel lesson learned: Find the local hangouts to experience the real, true culture of a place. During a trip to Europe, my friends and I spent several days with a French family in the small town of Vichy. We had a private party in their family-run creperie, feasting on cheese-stuffed crepes and sampling wine that we picked up in the Bordeaux region a few days earlier. Their English wasn't much better than my French, which is limited to a few well-known phrases from Moulin Rouge and the question: Parlez-vous anglais? (I'm proud to say that I can spout this question off in several different languages, and luckily most Europeans do indeed speak English!) After a few bottles of wine, the language barrier was hardly noticeable (slurring actually sounds the same in French!), and we managed to swap stories about life in other places. What a slice of local flavor!
My most beloved place in the whole world is: My grandparents place in Texas. It's a 10-acre oasis in between two sprawling cities: Dallas and Fort Worth. A creek runs through their enormous backyard, where Granddad built a deck over the water. The entire place is shrouded with all types of trees (mainly pecan), blocking the Texas sun in the summer. Dusk is the best time to sit on the deck, drink a glass of ice tea and watch baby raccoons from the spring litter surround their back porch as Gram feeds them bread (no lie!). There will be dozens of raccoons eating on any given night. In the fall, my family gathers in the courtyard in front of their house for an annual "weenie roast." Granddad lights the bonfire, and we roast dogs and s'mores. Yes, y'all, we're from Texas!
Favorite way to get around: Well, I'm not much of a driver. I get lost easily and my tires have never come across a curb they didn't want to get to know a little better. But, I do enjoy cruising around and listening to music. That said, I much rather explore a place by foot (with my iPod in tow) for a more intimate encounter.
View that took my breath away: Coming from Texas (where the view is wide but there's not much to see), scenes from my new home of San Francisco never fail to amaze me. The city is a pedestrian's dream, but don't forget to turn around and look behind you as you meander through its neighborhoods. You won't realize it, but you'll be at the tip-top of a hill and the ocean will suddenly seem to be at eye level. Take a drive through the Presidio and over the Golden Gate Bridge where even more stunning views await!

Though it hasn't been long since of the 2,450-square-foot retail space, commercial real estate is at a premium in Sammamish so we wonder what type of business might fill a real Plateau need by taking up residence there.
The Saffron Center is home to a number of businesses, including the popular , and , among others. The space is being marketed by Investco Management Services, with negotiable terms.

22 July 2014
The Gambian government must abolish the laws and iron fisted practices that have resulted in two decades of widespread human rights violations, Amnesty International said as it joined forces with other human rights groups for a global day of action marking 20 years since President Jammeh's seizure of power.
While activists gather in London today to discuss strategies to tackle female genital mutilation, communities across Sierra Leone have been taking an innovative approach towards ending the brutal practice.
Indonesia's new President Joko Widodo must deliver on campaign promises to improve Indonesia's dire human rights situation, Amnesty International said.
21 July 2014
Amnesty International called on delegates to the CAR National Reconciliation talks due to take place in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo on 21-23 July, to ensure that their discussions do not lead to impunity for war crimes, crimes against humanity and other serious human rights violations.
Ahead of a legal intervention by Amnesty International and others in the rendition case of the Libyan national Abdul-Hakim Belhaj, Amnesty International is warning that the UK government is "scraping the legal barrel" with its arguments in the case.
The Russian Ministry of Justice today registered four more Russian human rights organizations and one environmental group as "foreign agents", a further sign of the authorities' growing stranglehold on freedom of expression.
The continuing bombardment of civilian homes in several areas of the Gaza Strip, as well as the Israeli shelling of a hospital, add to the list of possible war crimes that demand an urgent independent international investigation, said Amnesty International.

LOS ANGELES, California, December 13. NATHAN Adrian displays his Art Of The Cap as part of @SpeedoUSA and its campaign to support Adrian's charity: Kids Beating Cancer
Courtesy of: Speedo USA
Courtesy of: Speedo USA
As part of the campaign with Nathan Adrian, four other Team Speedo athletes -- Olympic gold medalists Ryan Lochte, Natalie Coughlin, Dana Vollmer and Cullen Jones -- were paired with five celebrated artists -- Dave Kinsey, Adhemas Batista, Gianmarco Magnani, Jessica Hische and Jolby & Friends -- to design a limited edition Speedo swim cap, sold exclusively on www.SpeedoUSA.com.
Learn More Kids Beating Cancer
#ArtoftheCap supports other Charities like Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), Right To Play, Kids Beating Cancer, Simon's Fund, and the USA Swimming Foundation's Make a Splash Initiative -- helping to support and raise awareness for five worthy causes during this holiday season of giving.
Sprint star, who won gold in the 100m Freestyle in London, partnered with celebrated Peruvian illustrator Gianmarco Magnani to create a swim cap that pays tribute to his hard-working hometown of Bremerton, Washington, and its ship-building history. Growing up near the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Adrian was inspired by the speed, power and integrity of a battleship as it moves through the water -- attributes all reflected in the swim cap's design; the number 08, prominently displayed on one side of the cap, is a nod to his family's Chinese heritage and to his first Olympics in 2008 in Beijing. Adrian and his cap are supporting Kids Beating Cancer, a non-profit organization founded by Margaret Voight Guedes in memory of her son that works to ensure children can receive life-saving cancer treatment regardless of their family's financial situation.
"I feel like I'm in a really blessed position," said Adrian. "With that position, I've always felt a need and a desire to give back to people who haven't been given the ability to live their dreams."
The athletes and artists were paired based on the connection of their personal stories, interests, and style; the charities chosen by the athletes are all tied important, personal causes they each support. Lochte, Coughlin, Adrian, Vollmer and Jones shared their stories with the artists who then brought their collaborative vision to life throughout the design process. The results come alive at Speedo USA's "Art of the Cap" microsite, where visitors can view new and interactive content, including athlete interviews, images and videos; learn about each athlete's personal connection to their cause and each limited edition swim cap design; and buy the cap.
The Art of the Cap campaign is a true first for Speedo; the brand has launched limited edition collections inspired by its athletes in the past, but this is the first time the athletes were personally involved in the design process.
"We're incredibly excited about the Art of the Cap campaign," said Alyssa Igawa, Marketing Director for Speedo USA. "It is a first for the brand and our athletes, and it has been a true partnership every step of the way."
"Through the collaboration, we've given our athletes a way to creatively express who they are and what is important to them," added Igawa. "Every cap sold raises awareness, raises money, and makes a difference -- empowering swimmers to look good while doing good."
Art of the Cap marks the second campaign from Hello Design for Speedo USA; based in Culver City, Calif., the agency signed on as Speedo USA's digital agency earlier this year

WOONSOCKET – State Sen. Roger A. Picard, of 764 Mendon Road, will run for re-election without an opponent and state representatives Lisa Baldelli-Hunt and Jon D. Brien both face primary elections for their seats as a result of the close of the General Assembly candidate nomination process on Friday.
Of the 12 local candidates taking out papers for election to the General Assembly on Nov. 6, John J. McLaughlin Jr., of 632 South Main St., a retired city teacher, was the only one not returning signed nomination papers by the 4 p.m. filing deadline at the Board of Canvassers on Friday. McLaughlin, an Independent, had taken out papers for the district representative seat held by Rep. Jon D. Brien of 521 South Main St. Brien, a Democrat, filed his papers for the seat as did Stephen M. Casey, of 625 Park Ave., a city firefighter, also filing as a Democrat.
McLaughlin did not file any of the required 50 certified signatures to qualify for the election ballot, according to Estelle D. Corriveau, canvassers manager.
In the contest for the city's District 49 representative seat, Democrat Lisa Baldelli-Hunt, of 304 Prospect St., filed her papers as did three other candidates. Dr. Stuart Gitlow, of 641 Harris Ave., and Michael A. Morin, of 180 Allen St., president of the International Association of Firefighters union, filed as Democrats and will face Baldelli-Hunt in a primary. Michael Moniz, of 429 East School St. and a frequent city candidate, filed nomination papers for the seat as an Independent and will face the primary winner in the November election.
In filings for representative District 51, incumbent Democrat Robert D. Phillips, of 325 Dunlap St., will face Republican School Committeeman Christopher M. Roberts, of 157 Tara Lane for that seat after both filed papers with the canvassers. Roberts turned in his papers on Friday and certification of the nomination was pending Board of Canvassers review.
Picard, a Democrat, filed all the required papers for his Senate District 20 seat to run unopposed in November.
And incumbent Senator Marc A. Cote, of 144 Woodland Road, filed papers as a Democrat for his seat and will face Lewis J. Pryeor, of 231 Second Ave., who filed papers to run against Cote as an Independent in November.

We knew we had to tackle math and science. And "tackle" may be a biased word. Some people love math, it's true. But many students not only don't like math, they also think it's kind of cool to say, "I really don't get it." As one of our experts says, no one would dare say they "really don't get" reading. That implies something different.
However, math and science teach us about magic, wonder, and curiosity - about the nature of our world, and even other worlds. They push the edge of imagination - like art. Doesn't that make math and science more crucial than ever? And isn't that what the proponents of "21st century skills" are talking about? Creative and critical thinking?
So how can we help our kids find the art and passion in math and science?
To get started, here's a number trick you can do with your kids. You can also watch the TVOParents Book Club on math and science - our experts talk about really good kids' stories that can be a back door to learning math and science.

First, some villain stole Gods Cooker.
Now, the Rock Hill charity that has cooked and delivered Thanksgiving meals for four decades whether some thief steals their cooker or not is in danger of not being able to serve thousands of needy because donations have all but dried up.
Thanksgiving is in two weeks, and, frankly, we are in a desperate situation, said the Rev. Ronal King, who runs Christian Feed the Hungry ministries. We have money for 500 turkeys. But we wanted to serve 3,000 turkeys. Right now we cant do it.
The it on Thanksgiving is York Countys largest annual holiday food giveaway, which combines the work of hundreds of volunteers who cook, prepare and deliver the meals.
Last year, almost 9,000 people were fed.
For some people, this meal is all they will get for a few days, said Donna Houck, a longtime volunteer for the charity. We always try to offer enough for entire families.
These people we help are our neighbors, our community.
The ministry feeds many homeless and shut-ins several days a week and provides help with emergencies.
But the Thanksgiving meal has grown from a few turkeys smoked on an outdoor grill and in a single church kitchen to an event weeks in the making.
Besides several church groups that volunteer, cooking students at the Rock Hill Schools Applied Technology Center help prepare some of the food. Still more students from high school football teams help shred the birds for packaging.
Winthrop students volunteer, civic groups help and others from around the city find ways to help deliver the meals by car, truck- and van.
Last summer, the charitys grill dubbed Gods Cooker was stolen and never recovered. Chad McGowan, a Rock Hill lawyer and supporter of the charity, bought a replacement cooker that can hold at least 32 turkeys and has two bays.
It looks like a nuclear submarine, said volunteer Don Houck, who along with his wife keeps an eye on the new cooker.
Now volunteers are worried that their ministry wont have enough gobblers to fill the new cooker.
King is set to pick up about 500 turkeys from Walmart this week, and the Houcks are searching for the cheapest prices for the other goods. Some of the food such as the bread is donated, but costs add up fast when the charity usually has to buy almost a ton of green beans, a ton of sweet potatoes and more.
But without a surge in donations as Thanksgiving looms, Christians Feed the Hungry will have to scale back.
The group and its volunteers have been honored by Rock Hill, York County and South Carolina. King and others have been given plaques and resolutions and commendations. But without money, 2013 will be remembered as the year the organization could not help as many people as it had hoped.
For 41 years, we have been out here helping people, and we are proud to do it because it must be done, King said. Unfortunately, we had some promises of donations that just did not happen. We right now have to look to those who have in our community to try and give something to those who have not. We need people to step forward and be the ones who truly show that Thanksgiving is making someone else thankful.
We are past the point of asking for people to say they might help this year. We need help right now.
