Set my alarm, went off as planned. Just as I’m leaving, realize that I’ve forgotten something. I run back in the house to grab it and look at the clock. Then I wake up. I look at the clock again- 12:22. I’ve overslept, and I’m late. I start racing around the house trying to grab everything, screaming at my sister to get up and get ready, since I now have to take her to...

“As far as I can tell, not a single academic paper has been written about the boom in edutainment games in the 1980s and 1990s. Not one! While Mimi Ito’s Engineering Play chronicles the rise of the genre, it focuses more on the educational philosophies embodied in the games more than the content transmitted within the form.”

Around Christmas, I spent some time with my 4- and 6-year old cousins, and I saw some of the commercials played during Saturday morning cartoons. They were SO outrageous and over-the-top…but the kids were enthralled. They wanted...

We need your help. Quickly. I’m sure you remember the horrific story of 17-year old Maria Isabel Vasquez Jimenez who died of heat stroke in 2008 while laboring in the scorching grape vineyards near Stockton. Her body temperature reached 108.
Maria’s death is so hard to accept, because it didn’t need to happen. The labor contractors did not even observe the most basic...

The search engine now actively censors terms including BitTorrent, torrent, utorrent, RapidShare and Megaupload from its instant and autocomplete services.
