W.Va. Schools Get Game to Fight Obesity:

West Virginia, which has one of the nation's worst obesity problems, is expanding a project that uses a video game to boost students' physical activity.

All of the state's 157 middle schools are expecting to get the video game "Dance Dance Revolution," and officials hope to put it in all 753 public schools within three years. A pilot project began in 20 schools last spring.

damnit, Stephen Lewis is talking at the Horowitz Theatre on Monday (jan 30) at noon.

anyone available at that time had better go. STEPHEN LEWIS is AMAZING. i don't even have words to describe how awesome he is. He is my hero. and I am so pissed that I can't go... mind you, maybe I'll skip work... it's only the big red triangle...


OR, I could drive to Camrose and see him there at 6:30pm at Augustana campus


but regardless, ALL OF YOU WHO ARE ON CAMPUS AND HAVE FREE TIME AT NOON ON MONDAY SHOULD GO SEE THIS MAN TALK. You won't regret it. This man is changing the world.

did anyone else listen to Clockwork Orange Juice this morning just before 8am? Mark and Kevin Moose had a lovely message for "poor Stephen Harper."

Yeah, I know, you're thinking what?? but here's the deal: Looking at the results from this election, and comparing them to the previous election, we can determine that while the conservatives have definitely won a position as the leaders of our minority government. BUT they have won a noticeably smaller minority government than the Liberals did just over a year ago. ... and that was with all the scandals already having been aired.

So now, apparently we're a little more fed up over the scandals, but not too much - just enough to cut the Liberal's lead, giving us a conservative minority with a larger proportion of left-leaning representation within the government in general than in the previous election. so... what have we learned? . . . Harper may have won, but the most prominent voice in the government still isn't blue.

Kevin Moose offered Harper his consolations, and played a song for him, just in case he was feeling bad about the bitter irony of his victory.

"If you get another Bush up there, we're going to move to Canada," O'Donnell said.

If only she had said that a week ago, we could have had a completely different election result.

Sorry to hear that, Jess. I know that happens to me as well. For some reason, I make it through cold weather without a problem, but when it warms up, I get sick.

The great thing about the internet is there's always someone out there who can write far better than you can: Don't Cry for Canada

The claim that Canada has lurched far to the right is anything but accurate.

Of course, that has not stopped conservative spin doctors in Washington, and their echo chamber in the U.S. media, from announcing that last Monday's election results from Canada represent a seismic shift to the right for the North American continent.

...

The bottom line is this: Canadians have chosen to remove a scandal-plagued government that went by the name of "Liberal." But they only did so because the "Conservatives" promised not to be too conservative. And they voted in a team of left-wing watchdogs to assure that those promises are kept. If that gives U.S. conservatives some small measure of comfort, so be it. But U.S. progressives need not be traumatized by these results. Indeed, they can look forward to the day when voters in their country might choose to throw out a scandal-plagued government that goes by the name "conservative."

ugh - sick. It's like 7 degrees out there and I still catch a cold. : (

But Rosie is gonna come give us some good ol' American regime change.

big up to all my friends that voted in the election. it's good to know that at least in our group people still give a shit.

This is unexpected and somewhat interesting: BlogShares
