PAUL GIGOT: Welcome to THE JOURNAL EDITORIAL REPORT. We begin with a story we think other people have missed. It was only two weeks ago that President Bush nominated Bernard Kerik to be the next Cabinet Secretary in charge of Homeland Security -- a very important job and a spectacular triumph for the man who started out as a beat cop. At that point Kerik seemed like a slam dunk, a 9/11 hero as police commissioner of New York, friend and colleague of former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and campaigner for the re-election of President Bush.
Now Kerik is no longer the president's nominee, and he spends much of his time answering questions about his personal past -- social relationships with people said to have ties to organized crime, and alleged misuse of his position of power for personal purposes. There are also questions about how the White House could have missed evidence that Kerik was not squeaky clean before they nominated him.
All of those details overwhelm the discussion of Kerik's original explanation for dropping out: that he had employed a nanny who might have been an illegal immigrant and did not pay appropriate taxes. Some people have suggested that was just an excuse to cover up the other allegations, but what strikes us is the opportunity to focus on something more important than the Kerik case, the immigration laws that penalize workers for traveling many miles from home to improve their lives, and tax laws that set low thresholds for taxes on domestic help. With me to discuss all this are: Melanie Kirkpatrick, associate editor of the editorial page; Jason Riley, senior editorial page writer; and Kim Strassel, also a senior editorial page writer.
Kim, we've seen this nanny stuff derail candidates in the past, a couple from the Clinton years, for example. Why has hiring a nanny suddenly become a capital offense, and does it make any sense?
KIM STRASSEL: Well, the why is for the same reason that most things are capital offenses in this country, which is the tax code.
PAUL GIGOT: The IRS.
KIM STRASSEL: But no, it doesn't make any sense. This tax first got rolling back in the 1950s, and every year it increasingly encompasses a lot more Americans that don't know how to deal with its complexity, can't afford its costs, and it makes no sense that they are struggling with this.
PAUL GIGOT: What is a threshold of income?
KIM STRASSEL: Well, back in 1994, after the Zoe Baird thing, Congress reformed this. Which basically meant that 1400 dollars is when it kicks in, which is something you could pay your next door neighbor kid who occasionally babysat for you in the course of a year, much less someone who gave you full-time child care.
But the other issue, too, is the complexity of it. They said that they made it more simple during the reforms, but what they basically did is now you only need one accountant to handle it for you instead of 10 like you did before.
PAUL GIGOT: Zoe Baird was Bill Clinton's nominee to be Attorney General, and she had to withdraw because of the nanny issue as well. A lot of people argue, Jason, that it's an issue for the elites, something that only people on the coasts pay attention to, or people who are wealthy enough to hire nannies. Is that really it? Or is this a much broader phenomenon?
JASON RILEY: I think it's a broader phenomenon. Some people like to catch the elites on this, to make sure that they have to abide by the same laws as everyone else. I think some people enjoy watching them have to go through something like this. There is a point to be made that the law is the law, but a bad law, a law that no one's willing to enforce. A law that everyone winks at might be worth taking another look at. The fact of the matter is, most of the people who come into this country, most of the people who want to come into this country, come here to work. This is a good example of that. They don't come here to do us harm. To the extent that we can provide more legal channels for these people to come through, they will use them. That has the added benefit of shrinking the pool that we have to go through to search for people who do come here to do us harm. So if you're really against illegal immigration, you should be for providing more legal channels for people like this nanny to use. She'd likely use it.
PAUL GIGOT: Melanie?
MELANIE KIRKPATRICK: It's not just rich parents, working couples, who hire nannies. It's middle class people who would, if the tax code made it easier for them, they might hire a nanny rather than send their kids to daycare. And it's also the elderly, who need some help at home. Last year only 239,000 filers paid the nanny tax, a number that has gone down steadily since the late nineties.
PAUL GIGOT: A lot of this goes back to the Simpson-Mazzoli law in 1986, if I can bring up those old names. Two members of Congress who passed a law that basically deputized business to become an arm of the border police, to go after and say, you've got to find out who the illegals are. So it made the employer suddenly responsible -- and that means even individual employers, people who hire them as personal help -- responsible for checking that out.
Now, people don't have the resources to do that. Some people aren't even inclined to try to do that, and it's also illegal if you ask people, based on their ethnicity, by the way, do you have a green card? You can be charged with violating the antidiscrimination laws if you do that. So that people are trapped, coming or going.
KIM STRASSEL: I think a lot of Americans out there, they don't like -- for all the reasons you just said, but they also get angry because this is an inconsistent law as well, too. As you said, they get deputized to look for immigrants who have come and done this. At the same time, they can go get an au pair, a nice 20-year-old woman from a European country who comes over, works for them full-time, gets paid by them, and they don't have to pay any taxes on her because it's a cultural exchange.
JASON RILEY: And it also works against our economy's self interest. These people come here and do jobs in agriculture, in construction, in the service industries at hotels and so forth, that a lot of Americans don't want to do. And so you're putting business, you're putting the economy in trouble when you put in place laws that work against what the economy needs to continue to thrive.
PAUL GIGOT: So there's an element of hypocrisy on all of our parts here, because we need these people, we hire them, we see them working, they help our economic engine going, yet a lot of people say, well wait a minute, we have to enforce our immigration laws more aggressively.
Now let's talk about the immigration reform, Jason, that the president has proposed, because it really does get to the heart of this with its guest worker program.
JASON RILEY: Yes, and there's a nice segue. It's nice to see us talking about illegal immigration in terms of labor law, because I believe that's where the debate belongs. But since 9/11 the talk has been about our leaky borders and how people can come across and do us harm. And that speaks to the point I was saying earlier, which is that to the extent that we can shrink the pool of people we need to search who come here to do us harm, we have a more efficient system.
So the president's guest worker program, which would provide more legal avenues for people to use to come here, is something that would free up our border patrol to chase down the people who come to do us harm, instead of Bernie Kerik's nanny, if she exists..
PAUL GIGOT: So there's a real economic logic to this. But politically, Kim, a lot of -- just as free trade divided Bill Clinton's own supporters in the Democratic Party, immigration proposals the president has made really does divide Republicans. What's their objection?
KIM STRASSEL: Well, they've got nativist crowds back at home that they want to cater to. And you see a lot of Western Republicans in particular from Arizona and a lot of the border states, where there is a strong feeling that immigrants come and take away jobs. And what has been sort of nice about the Kerik debate is the fact that this reminds us that actually there are a huge number of Americans out there who depend on these immigrants for vital services. I mean, what could be more important to you than having someone that you trusted to look after your children? So this is something that I think would be good to remind those Republicans in Congress. And the more they hear from their constituents about that, the better.
PAUL GIGOT: All right, Kim. It sounds like we're going to be talking about this a lot in the coming months. Thank you very much.

It is exactly what I was looking for. The fit is very good, maybe an inch to long. Very easy installation and easy to use. I took a load to the landfill with it folded up and secured in the front, it seemed to catch some air and puff up some. The real test will be when I tow my 5th Wheel camper for 100 miles with it folded up.

Pittsburgh running back Rushel Shell is taking time off from football to deal with what coach Paul Chryst is calling ''challenges'' off the field. Chryst released a statement Thursday stressing that Shell ''very much remains a part of our family on a daily basis'' but is not participating in spring drills at the moment. Shell rushed for 641 yards and four touchdowns during his freshman season last fall and is projected to be the starting tailback for the Panthers when they open fall camp. Chryst said his primary concern is for Shell's well-being and that Shell has the program's full support. Shell, from Hopewell, Pa., located about two hours east of Pittsburgh, set the state career high school rushing record during his career at Hopewell High, rushing for 9,078 yards.

[Mod Edit]
The fact is this: It is a marketing spend designed to promote the game's upcoming expansion. And this is not something we cooked up on our own. It took months of planning with several people at QOL and DC (who assigned it to top of the line artists, inkers and writer). Not to mention getting it picked up by the likes of DC Comics no less.
As a marketing spend, it is no more different than the print (PG Gamer, Beckett's etc) and online marketing I've been doing since last year in order to continue promoting the game.
The last time I looked, nobody in this forum has a clue what marketing is or entails and you can never stop marketing a product as long as you can afford to do so.
Anyway the comic is exclusive to San Diego and New York ComicCon. It will also be available for free online in a couple of weeks, including on the DC outlets, iPad etc. It is not for sale - that's why it is a marketing spend.
The game doesn't need millions of players to survive or to stay afloat; so say what you want, frankly we simply don't care. Those who actually care, are playing the game. We care, so we keep supporting it and I keep putting money into it.

Why/How is Alganon still running?
General Discussion « Alganon
A comic will make or break a game? Seriously? I mean, where do you get this stuff from?
Saying that money going into a comic - which is a marketing expense btw - should go into game development is like saying you shouldn't market a game at all. That's just silly and since everyone thinks that they have all the answers, silly opinions like this are the result.
Fact is, Ricardo Sanchez (the writer) and I go way back from when he was at Turner GameTap where we worked together. I ran into him at GDC this year and we got talking. In the end, he showed me the Rift comic (Telara Chronicles) he worked on while he was at Trion Worlds and it seemed like a good marketing idea to promote Alganon. So he got in touch with DC, they said they were interested in doing it. The rest is history and the Alganon comic (story based on the upcoming expansion pack) was born.
DC gets to distribute it as they do other game based comic properties e.g. San Diego ComicCon, New York ComicCon, their iPad store etc. We also get copies for promotional purposes. And due to how the story was written, In can requisition additional volumes if I decide to do so.
So for me, it is a marketing expense that cost about as much as the six month PC Gamer full and single page ads cost. So either I take out ads or I do a comic. It is all about what I want to do with my marketing budget. I decided to do something different. So comic it was.
People who are rooting for a train wreck are usually disappointed when their preconcieved disaster doesn't happen. So I know that because Alganon is still around, it burns those who were hoping that it will fail. It boils down to this: those very same people are forgetting that I ran into the same sort of derision with my first game back in 1996 when it was released prematurely by its then publisher. I'm still here.
Again, if you don't like the game, don't play it. This is just a game that I want to see succeed and I will continue to do my best to make that happen. If you're sitting around waiting for it to fail (hence shutdown), you have a pretty long wait because considering the low overhead, even if I fired the entire team tomorrow, the game is already 100% finished and self-sustaining. To the point that putting it into maintenance mode just means that it will keep running as long as I can afford to pay for the servers. There are lesser games out there still running; ever wondered why that is?

Galactic Command Online is very much a happening. The website was updated about two months ago and is now located at http://gcommo.com. Since it is based on a hardcore IP, the game is purely for hardcore gamers (not the Eve crowd kinda hardcore since that game is just a spreadsheet in space, for the most part).
We're currently working on a more accessible game, Line Of Defense (http://lodmmo.com) due out in early 2012.
GCO will hopefully show up in the 2013 timeframe.
Well, with all the white noise, there is only one way to see the truth here...

For the record
1. I had nothing to do with "Tork" leaving QOL. That was before my time.
2. We haven't hired a replacement community manager because the guys are doing just fine and it is a waste of money. You don't need to have a CM just because someone says that you do.
3. The forums were an unruly place before I came in. Then I asked the guys to enforce the TOS and without any exceptions. So guess what? Those who couldn't abide by them either left or were banned. No exceptions. I believe in quality, not quantity. And if the signal to noise ratio is low, then people will find information that much quicker without having to wade through a pile of crap. It is a gaming forum, not someone's backyard or living room where they can do as they please. Our house. Our rules.
The business of game development is not about a popularity contest. It is about principles and goals. I'm neither a diplomat nor a politician; so I don't need to impress anyone or be "one of the guys because it's kewl" so that I don't rub people the wrong way.
As long as myself and the team are achieving our goals - which we we're doing just fine - I don't particularly care about anything else - or what anyone says for that matter.
If you like the game, play it. If you don't like it, don't play it.
Why/How is Alganon still running?

Yep, working feverishly on it. Hopefully the more people that play it, the more they will see that I've pretty much all that I can to keep it unique and move it away from that whole "WoW clone" nonsense.

If your system doesn't meet with the game's minimum (shader model 2.0 for example) requirements, well, it won't launch. That's why we have it plastered all over the game's page, the client page etc. We have people trying to install and run the game on XP w/ SP2 - despite the fact that ALL the OS service packs are required.
Most gamers think that they have an uber system capable of "playing Crysis" - when in fact the most likely scenario is that it probably won't even play a game from 2000, let alone one from 2009.
We haven't made ANY changes to the game's graphics engine which could change the system requirements from what it was back in 2009.
The cards listed are all SM2.0. If the game is saying that it's not detecting it, then one of this is the cause:
1. You don't have an SM 2.0 capable graphics card
2. You don't have the latest video card drivers installed (this won't be the cause, since the card itself is queried directly using its CAPS)
3. You don't have the latest DirectX 9.0c runtime installed (this won't be the cause, since the card itself is queried directly using its CAPS)

Originally posted by vesaviusI would also say, with no intent of malice or insult to Derek Smart, that they need to hire a community/ PR manager, because DS just attracts the wrong kind of attentiom whether it's his fault or not.
That's just ludicrous if you don't mind my saying so.
The bottom line is that anon people behind the confines of the Internet think it is OK to insult, harrass and defame someone just because they can. I'm a developer first and foremost - not a business guy or a politician. There is absolutely nothing in me that screams out political correctness. You won't find the likes of Kotick et al defending themselves online and simply because they are completetely detached from the people they are selling games to.
Most devs and pubs don't bother to engage the people who play their games because they either a) can't be bothered or b) they want to tow the PC line c) they don't want to be in the firing line for saying the wrong thing; thus the PR mouthpieces.
Which is why the gaming landscape has changed radically from how it was back in the day when gamers had a direct line to the devs who made the games that they played.
Sure, like most everyone, I'm hardly the poster child for online behavior, but the fact is, I am a game developer who is passionate about what he does. I treat everyone as equals and so I could care less whether or not someone thinks that I shouldn't talk about my games, engage the community etc. I don't need a mouth piece.
And the fact of the matter is that, for good, bad or worse, it is my name, notoriety, efforts, investment, continued support of a top notch dev team etc that are primarily responsible for Alganon even being a topic of discussion today. How many games do you know of that would still be around given the circumstances of this game's disastrous launch? If you weren't around for the Beta - or even the launch - of the game back in 2009, you won't have an inkling of how far the game has come. In fact, folks from back in 2009 who recently came back, can't even believe that it is the same game.
Anyone who knows anything about the game industry knows that I never - ever - shy in the face of adversity, abuse or whatever - and none of that deters me from whatever goals I set for myself. I treat Alganon as I would any IP that I own. And now that I actually own (along with only two other remaining investors) it, my continuing to push it forward should come as no surprise to anyone who knows anything about me.
The Alganon name and IP are perfectly fine and that is the primary reason why I continue to invest in it. Just because someone says "oh yeah, change the game and it will be even better" doesn't make it so. Out here in the real world - where money and cred - are of utmost importance, we don't consider any such thing. It's not like I don't know anything about building an IP; especially when you consider that I own over six of them and which I single-handedly built from the ground up.
As I mentioned in this interview from last week, the bottomline is that I'm going to do what I do best and I'm going to continue building the Alganon IP.
Anyone who doesn't like the game, doesn't have to play it. Quite frankly, I simply don't care. I care only about those who like the game enough to help us build and promote it. No game caters to everyone and Alganon is no different. I have specific goals and metrics for it; and as long as those are met and maintained, I could care less what anyone thinks, says or feels.
It is only a game.
Faction Change

Why/How is Alganon still running?
General Discussion « Alganon
Well thanks for that.
Anyway, if you (anyone) are reading this, it means that you probably have an interest in Alganon. So, here goes the cliff notes ahead of the newsletter and PR from E3.
1. Alganon Comic book deal with DC Comics. Deal was already done, signed and the comic currently in production. Will be available at ComiCon, online (as well as iPad) by DC.
2. The first Alganon expansion due out later this year. It has a TON of stuff; but I won't spoil the surprise.
3. New game for Android, iOS and PC (browser) based on the Alganon IP. Due out later this year. Developed by a separate team using the Unity3 engine.
4. European servers for Alganon going live later in June. Asian servers to follow soon.

Columbia Business School Announces Joint Debate Series with Law School, Richman Center
May 10, 2012 | 0 comments
The dean of Columbia Business School (CBS) will lead a debate next fall about U.S. domestic tax policy as part of a new partnership between Intelligence Squared U.S., a New York City-based debate series, and the Richman Center for Business, Law and Public Policy, a joint venture between CBS and Columbia Law School.
Intelligence Squared, which launched in 2006, is a forum for public discourse based on the idea that there are intellectually respectable viewpoints on both sides of thorny issues. The debate series is recorded for broadcast on NPR and elsewhere and moderated by ABC's John Donovan.
The Oxford-style debate on domestic tax policy featuring CBS Dean Glenn Hubbard will take place next October in Intelligence Squared's new midtown Manhattan venue, the Kaufman Center.
Hubbard will be joined by three other panelists – each leading authorities in their areas of expertise – with two arguing for and two arguing against a carefully worded motion. Members of the live audience will be actively engaged in the discussion and will vote both before and after the debate to determine the winner.
Partnership with Intelligence Squared complements the Richman Center's mission to promote evidence-based public policy and dialogue on emerging policy issues. In addition to events like this debate series, the Richman Center also drives curricular innovations and hosts student activities drawing on the synergies between Columbia's Business and Law Schools.

BBC America will co-produce and premiere An Adventure in Space and Time as part of the channel's celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. An Adventure in Space and Time will tell the story of the genesis of Doctor Who - which first aired on November 23, 1963 - and the many personalities involved.
Announced today, David Bradley (Harry Potter) is set to play the first ever Doctor, the iconic William Hartnell, in the drama written by Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who), who will also serve as executive producer alongside Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock) and Caroline Skinner (Doctor Who, The Fades). An Adventure in Space and Time (1x90) is a co-production between BBC Cymru Wales and BBC AMERICA. The drama will premiere later this year on BBC AMERICA.
The BBC's Head of Drama Sydney Newman, credited with the creation of the show, will be portrayed by Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Identity) and the producer, Verity Lambert, by Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife). The director of the first ever episode An Unearthly Child, Waris Hussein, will be played by Sacha Dhawan (History Boys, Last Tango In Halifax).
Mark Gatiss, writer and executive producer said: "What a cast! I'm utterly delighted that everyone's favorite Time Lord will be in such brilliant and stellar company. We have a terrific team who can't wait to tell the fascinating and surprising story of how the Doctor began his journey through Space and Time."
Richard De Croce, SVP Programming, BBC America added: "We're excited to work with BBC Cymru Wales on this co-production, allowing us to bring An Adventure in Space and Time to Doctor Who fans on both sides of the pond. Mark and the talented team behind the project are sure to create a special that will delight audiences while commemorating this incredible series' 50th anniversary."
Commenting on his upcoming role, David Bradley said, "I'm absolutely thrilled. I first heard about this role from Mark while watching the Diamond Jubilee flotilla from the roof of The National Theatre. When he asked if I would be interested, I almost bit his hand off! Mark has written such a wonderful script not only about the birth of a cultural phenomenon, but a moment in television's history. William Hartnell was one of the finest character actors of our time and as a fan I want to make sure that I do him justice. I'm so looking forward to getting started."
An Adventure in Space and Time is a co-production between BBC Cymru Wales and BBC AMERICA. Filming begins at the beginning of February at BBC's Television Centre in London before moving to Wimbledon Studios. The drama is produced by Matt Strevens (Misfits, Skins) and directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, The Street).
Doctor Who recently delivered record ratings for BBC America when the Christmas Day special Doctor Who: The Snowmen became the channel's best ever telecast in demo, delivering 2.4 million total viewers and 1.3 million A25-54 in Live+7, rounding out a year of success. Doctor Who returns on March 30 as part of BBC AMERICA's Supernatural Saturday programming block, alongside world premieres of new original series The Nerdist and Orphan Black.
BBC AMERICA delivers U.S. audiences high-quality, innovative and intelligent programming. Established in 1998, it has been the launch pad for talent embraced by American mainstream pop culture, including Ricky Gervais, Gordon Ramsay, Graham Norton, and successful programming formats including ground-breaking non-scripted television like Top Gear and top-rated science-fiction like Doctor Who.

One of the amazing parts of doing Phillies Nation TV is that we don't always get to use everything we shoot for the show. A few weeks back, we were able to speak with tonight's starter Jonathan Pettibone regarding his preparation for 2013. The interview is brief, raw, and uncut but hopefully will let folks who may not have heard of Jon before put a face to a name. Enjoy!

Sunday's game in Miami has special significance for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne, and he doesn't try to hide the fact it will be emotional for him. "There's definitely going to be emotions," he said. "There will be a little bit more excitement and everything." That's because the Dolphins drafted him in the second round in 2008, and he spent four years trying to convince them he could be their quarterback of the future. But he was sidelined in the fourth game last season with a left shoulder injury, after starting most of the previous two years. The Dolphins let him leave as a free agent, then drafted Ryan Tannehill to replace him. Henne signed with the Jaguars as Blaine Gabbert's backup, and became a starter when Gabbert was hurt in Houston and was placed on the injured reserve list. Henne said he feels no ill will against the Dolphins. "I appreciate the opportunity down there," he said. "They drafted me and I appreciate that, but sometimes things don't work...

Before Cinna is sacrificed for a sinner
A name is a cultural and spiritual construct fixed to the whole essence of man with the power to regulate his mechanics. God values it. He called all his prophets by their names. He changed Abram to Abraham. He changed Sarai to Sarah. He changed Jacob to Israel, He sent prophet Nathan to name Solomon Jedidiah. He wants all his creatures properly labelled and identified. The herbalists believe in it. They evoke the names of their victims for evil purpose because they know the significance of evoking the name from the spirit realm. The evocation must touch the source of the man's essence otherwise the jazz will not work.
Since man was created, we have been naming names even to the point of superfluity. In a single naming ceremony a baby is given almost 20 to 30 names all because every member of the extended family that drops money in a bowl considers it necessary to give the baby a name. In the process, so many names have been cloned and recycled to meaningless dead-end. For instance, when I went on a google search for "Dapo Thomas" I came across so many versions and variants of it and most of them have nothing to do with me. It is enough frustration for one's first name to be cloned and recycled but one becomes helpless and bewildered when one's name and the surname are now cloned and replicated by all and sundry. In this season and city of frauds and scams, one is at the mercy of God to escape undeserved sanctions. One's perplexity becomes more inveterate when you come to discover that some of these people may not be real but mere shadow-chasers latching on one's integrity to convoke venalities.
I am rattled that I have been sandwiched in a labyrinth of an identity furore. My name, personality, credibility, integrity, dignity, in short, my whole essence has suffered some kind of collateral damage in a crossfire between Dr Olatunji Dare and another 'Dapo Thomas'. I am therefore carrying another man's cross to Golgotha all because of an interlocking identity similitude.
Before the floodgates of inquisitions and informal interrogations were opened, I had personally confronted this identity mess myself. As it is the practice with me, every morning when I buy my newspapers, I glance at the front page headlines and then the back pages. Shockingly, I saw my name in a rejoinder sent to Olatunji Dare's column in The Nation by one 'Dapo Thomas'. I hurriedly did a mental reflection on my recent journalistic encounters to see if I had any issue with Olatunji Dare. Since I have been reading this journalism teacher in The Guardian till he moved to The Nation, I cannot remember having any issue with him. So, I became convinced that this was another 'Dapo Thomas'. I was not particularly comfortable with the situation because of the activities this namesake of mine was involved in; nevertheless I cautioned myself that in a world of six billion people, having a copyright to the name was inconceivable. The man was at liberty to enjoy his name(s)—the label of human identification.
This obviously is not the first time I was having self-confrontation and image encounter with 'myself'. When I was serving in the government of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I even learnt about my death. The newspapers screamed: "Tinubu Loses Aide". The story was about the death of Asiwaju Tinubu's Special Adviser on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs while I was Senior Special Assistant on policies and programmes. Our portfolios were different and our names had variations. For instance, mine was standard version (no prefix, no suffix, and no hyphen), his was a double-barrelled version. Again while I can call myself Dapo Thomas of Lagos, he was Dapo Bode-Thomas of Oyo since he was the son of the Late Chief Bode Thomas, Obafemi Awolowo's right hand man. Despite the fact that his name was double-barelled, people still compounded the problem for me by spreading the news of my "death". Those who had my numbers called my lines to see if I would pick it or not. "Hello", I would say each time I picked and the response was usually dead silence as my callers wondered whether it was my ghost or the real me. It took some time before I convinced people that I was alive and that the Dapo Bode-Thomas that died was an 'old school edition' since he was relatively older than me.
It is therefore shocking that some years after this incident, another costly one is now unfolding. I know when I write. I know what I write. And I know how I write. This time, I did not write anything. I do not have any issue with Olatunji Dare nor does he have any issue with me. I have no NGO. I run no NGO and I operate no NGO. I know nothing about Neighbour to Neighbour (N2N). The only neighbours I know are my two neighbours in the Redemption Camp where I reside—one is the National Prayer Coordinator for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and the other is a retired General who found God after participating in the Civil War where many millions were killed. By any stretch of imagination, these people don't look like people who can dole out millions in support of subsidy removal or presidential campaign adverts.
My assignment now is to meet this person to know if truly Dapo Thomas is his real name, pen name, guy name or mischief name. If he claims it is real and he is real, then since both of us write as public commentators, I will advise that he picks one of the numerous versions apart from the original version that belongs to me. But if he refuses, then I can change mine to one of these: Dapo Thomas of Eko Boys High School, Dapo Thomas of Compro (Ayetoro) or Dapo Thomas of "Great Ife" or better still Dapo Thomas of UI. But if in the unlikely event he also attended all these institutions before or after me, I will have no option than to believe that he is a shadow-chaser using my name to confront its image to provoke an umbrage.
Cinna the Poet was killed by the mob that was out to avenge the death of Ceasar not because of his bad verses but because he shared the same name with Cinna who was the sinner and conspirator the mob was looking for.
But before Cinna is sacrificed for a sinner I am sundering all parallels and off-loading all precarious and notorious liabilities associated with this "Dapo Thomas" without prejudice to his activities and those of his "neighbours".

Results: FAMFI has accomplished a lot since I started the non-profit in September of 2006. We began by sending clothing and school supplies, then provided meals and temporary shelter. With the help of many generous benefactors, we have expanded our purpose and we are currently working on several important projects, which will help many more people. Cebu City Mayor, Tomas Osmena, started a project called Cebu City Frontline Cluster (CCFC.) Under the direction of Dr. Alice Utlang, (who is a our Philippine Board OIC), CCFC is composed of different city government agencies which travel to the remote and mountainous areas of Cebu. They provide free medical, dental, legal - even garbage pickup - to families who have never experienced these basic services. Since August of 2007, FAMFI has supported this project by supplying medicine and vitamins. Our contribution to CCFC has already helped thousands of needy people. I had been working for months with the World Medical Relief (WMR) for the donation of medical and dental equipment. WMR finally approved our request, and close to one million dollars worth of medical equipment and supplies, (including an ambulance), is ready for shipment from Detroit, Michigan to the Philippines. We have been trying hard to gather donations for the very expensive cost of shipping - ( $12K each!) On my trip to Cebu last April 2008, I met with Mayor Tomas Osmeña and Lt. Gen. Victor S. Ibrado, the former Commanding General of the Central Command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. We made an agreement that FAMFI will donate medical equipment and supplies to CCMC or Cebu City Medical Center, and to the military hospital, in exchange for the use of their facilities for the free monthly surgeries we offer. Gen. Ibrado also offered us the use of military doctors and dentists for our Medical Mission. Retired Lt. Col. Nicolas C. Pongos Jr., Vice President of FAMFI Philippines, is a very good friend of Gen. Ibrado (now the Commanding General of the Philippine Army/ Chief of Staff), and will oversee our Medical Mission with the military. I have also met with a group of surgeons, headed by Dr. Manuel Villamor of Cebu Doctors' Hospital, who volunteered to donate their time to give at least five free surgeries per month to our indigent beneficiaries. Our agreement is that FAMFI will provide the hospital and medicine, which we have already arranged with the CCMC and the military hospital. The two recipient hospitals are also the possible venues for two groups of US surgeons, doctors and nurses, who have agreed to help our mission by coming annually to Cebu to provide free services to the indigent. In our agreement, they will shoulder the medical supplies, provided that FAMFI will make available the location and accommodation of the Medical Mission. The Foundation is eager for these projects to swing into action. Once the shipping is paid for, everything else will fall into place.
Target demographics: Our main purpose is to bring help, healing and hope to neglected children and their families in Third World Countries, currently the Philippines and Brazil.
