Football as a power tool for violence prevention through social inclusion
"I became tired of loosing my friends to violent acts involving firearms, and seeing how the young the potential of my generation is lost in prisons and cemeteries." These are the words of Angel Bolivar Araya Castillo, the Coordinator of Youth Against Violence (YAV) Movement in Costa Rica. I had the privilege of meeting Angel this spring when he and six youth representatives from the YAV movement came to the World Bank to talk about the importance of youth participation in violence prevention.

African Game Trailsby Theodore Roosevelt
View All Available Formats & Editions
In 1909, the Smithsonian Institution commissioned ex-President Theodore Roosevelt to collect specimens of African wildlife for the National Museum. Roosevelt went to Africa with his son Kermit, several prominent naturalists, and many journalists, thereby initiating the safari industry and setting the standard for the big game hunt. Yet Roosevelt never killed for thrills, instead hunting only specific animals in the amounts requested by the Smithsonian. Making his way from the Kenyan coast to the Upper Nile, he records his impressions of the African landscape, witnesses a traditional lion hunt by African pastoralists, and recalls his meetings with East Africans, to whom he was known as 'Bwana Tumbo (belly).'

Read an Excerpt
Theodore Roosevelt declined to run for reelection as President of the United States in 1908. Partly as a vacation, partly to avoid the press as his friend Taft set up a new administration, (and partly for self-promotion), T.R. set out for Africa to hunt big game and collect specimens for a future exposition at the Smithsonian. Scribner's magazine underwrote the trip by paying $50,000 for twelve articles. It is these articles that eventually became African Game Trails.
In April 1909, T.R. and his son Kermit arrived in Mombasa. With an entourage of 250 porters and guides, the Roosevelts spent a year snaking across British East Africa, into the Belgian Congo and back to the Nile, ending in Khartoum. This narrative is a straightforward chronicle of the trip, laced with tips on tracking and hunting African big game, and observations and opinions about Africa and its peoples, many of which are politically incorrect by today's standards. T.R. believed in the inferiority of most African peoples and recommended they be civilized by European rule.
For the most part, however, African Game Trails is a book about big game hunting. Over the course of the year, the Roosevelts collected (i.e. shot) 1,100 specimens, including eleven elephants, twenty rhinoceroses, seventeen lions, twenty zebra, seven hippopotamuses, seven giraffes, and six buffalo. This was a different era, to be sure. In a way that makes the account all the more valuable:
"Slatter and I immediately rode in the direction given, following our wild-looking guide; the other gun-bearer trotting after us. In five minutes we had reached the opposite hillcrest, where the watcher stood, and he at once pointed out the rhino. The huge beast was standing in entirely open country, although there were a few scattered trees of no great size at some little distance from him. We left our horses in a dip of the ground and began the approach; I cannot say that we stalked him, for the approach was too easy. The wind blew from him to us, and a rhino's eyesight is dull.
"Thirty yards from where he stood was a bush four or five feet high, and through the leaves, it shielded us from the vision of his small, piglike eyes as we advanced toward it, stooping and in single file, I leading. The big beast stood like an uncouth statue, his hide black in the sunlight; he seemed what he was, a monster surviving over from the world's past, from the days when the beasts of the prime ran riot in their strength, before man grew so cunning of brain and hand as to master them. So little did he dream of our presence that when we were a hundred yards off he actually lay down.
"Walking lightly, and with every sense keyed up, we at last reached the bush, and I pushed forward the safety of the double-barreled Holland rifle which I was now to use for the first time on big game. As I stepped to one side of the bush so as to get a clear aim, with Slatter following, the rhino saw me and jumped to his feet with the agility of a polo pony. As he rose I put in the right barrel, the bullet going through both lungs. At the same moment he wheeled, the blood spouting from his nostrils, and galloped full on..."
African Games Trails is well-written and rolls along easily, like a good, long, after-dinner story. It is also a striking record of early 20th-century African culture and natural history. It is great fun and highly recommended for the non-squeamish.

Roosevelt writes in detail about his year long safari in Africa. His obsevations as a sportsman, scholar, lawmaker and gentleman are as valid now as a century ago. One of the most entertaining books about hunting. A must in an outdoorsman library.
This is a great adventure book and a refreshing break from the oppressive regime of the political correct thought police. Hopefully we won't see the day went books like this a banned.
Good look at African hunting 100 years ago from our 26 th President.
TR was a good president know lots
I havent read it but it certianly looks like a good book to me

Anyone else think it looks a little Ys-like?
Assuming you didn't skip the first 30 seconds, you probably noticed a Japanese man. That is CEO Toshihiro Kondo. He discusses how they decided the best route with this title in the series was using a new world with new characters, and that this time, this single game will make full use of its world. This in contrast to other Legend of Heroes games that usually only tackle one section of the world at a time.
Next up, Falcom went on to announce a new character. Lyla is a 15-year-old that hails from the same island as the hero. She's a childhood friend (who'd have guessed?!) to both Nayuta and Signa.
And last but not least, the box art:
Nayuta no Kiseki releases on the 27th of June in Japan. No news yet for a release anywhere else.

Colts decide on No.1 pick, but aren't telling
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have decided on their No.1 pick, but they aren't going to reveal it publicly until draft night.
Colts general manager Ryan Grigson met with the local media on Wednesday and said the team feels good about its decision. The Colts will select either Stanford's Andrew Luck or Baylor's Robert Griffin III with the first pick of the NFL Draft on April 26 in New York City.
"We've known for a little while," Grigson said. "We've done all our due diligence. If there's not any unforeseen problem or anything like that, we're pretty sure what we want to do and what direction we want to go."
Most analysts believe the Colts will select Luck, but Grigson said he believes both players have a strong desire to be the best and would handle the role of succeeding Peyton Manning as quarterback of the Colts. The Colts had at least two individual meetings with Luck as well as a private workout. Griffin did not have individual workouts for any teams.
Colts representatives attended Griffin's Pro Day, but not Luck's, and also saw both players at the NFL Combine.
Grigson said outsiders should not read too much into how many workouts or meetings a team has with certain players. It comes down to a gut instinct many times, he said.
"Obviously, you look back and there have been busts with that first pick and things like that," Grigson said. "I feel like, personally, when you know, you know. I don't worry about past statistics and all those kind of things."
Grigson also said the Colts are optimistic about returning to training camp at Anderson University, but no contract has been signed.
Grigson was asked about the possibility of the team re-signing some waived players, such as Joseph Addai, Gary Brackett, Melvin Bullitt or Dallas Clark. He said it is possible that the team might revisit those players after the draft and college free agency shakes out, although there are no plans for that now.
"You never know, you might revisit that," he said. "They're all really good guys."

Minority Report
Posted by admin | Posted in Movies | Posted on 29-06-2010
Based on a short story by the late Philip K. Dick, this science fiction-thriller reflects the writer's familiar preoccupation with themes of concealed identity and mind control. Tom Cruise stars as John Anderton, a Washington, D.C. detective in the year 2054. Anderton works for "Precrime," a special unit of the police department that arrests murderers before they have committed the actual crime. Precrime bases its work on the visions of three psychics or "precogs" whose pro… More >>
