        <p>Has anyone tried this online game?
</p>
<p>
Beside shooting blood everywhere and doing quests for others, talking to monsters that I&#8217;ll never find in real life ... I found this game interesting for surviving ( although are lot&#8217;s of topics to be covered ).
</p>
<p>
A difference from Wikipedia ( you only have content ) this game kind of force you to read about topics / ideas / concepts ( learning without knowing it )
</p>
<p>
Idea of the game: Win credits for solving questions and use the credits to post your own questions for other users to solve!
</p>
<p>
Take a look around you can find the concept useful for you.

        <p>Are you a ’cause champion’? 
</p>
<p>
A what?&nbsp; A cause champion...someone who gives their time and energy to a cause they care about.&nbsp; Many of us are a cause champion in waiting.&nbsp; I coach youth sports - so in some ways I do my part.&nbsp; Can I do more?&nbsp; Absolutely.&nbsp; We can all do more, but when do you find the time?&nbsp; The money?
</p>
<p>
Memsaic is a concept designed for both the organization itself and for &#8216;cause champions&#8217; who are short on time, but big on heart.&nbsp; You create a Memsaic at <a href="http://www.memsaic.com">http://www.memsaic.com</a>.&nbsp; A Memsaic is a virtual memory wall that you send to your network of friends, family, co-workers, neighbors.&nbsp; You push it out through whatever channels you can - My Space.&nbsp; Donors buy bricks online and post pictures to show their support.&nbsp; The end result is a Memsaic that captures your community coming together in Mosaic form.&nbsp; The end result is you helped that cause you care about raise significant donations by extending your heart to your network of influence.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
Organizations can do this on their own successfully.&nbsp; Organizations can set up affliate accounts and have their members create Memsaics to extend their reach.
</p>
<p>
We welcome you to check us out and we want to be a Cause Champion for your cause.&nbsp; We want to help.&nbsp; We want to do good.&nbsp; The lack of time I spoke about earlier in this post...wanting to do more.&nbsp; This is one way I am trying to help.

<p>
Thank you for your time and consideration.

        <p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
<br />
ToonSeum at the Children&#8217;s Museum of Pittsburgh
<br />
Contact: Joe Wos 412-325-1060
<br />
Email:joe@toonseum.com
<br />
 
<br />
The ToonSeum — Pittsburgh’s museum of cartoon art — is honored to celebrate Black History Month with a visit from legendary cartoonist Morrie Turner, creator of Wee Pals.
</p>
<p>
Turner will visit on Saturday, Feb. 16, in celebration of ToonSeum’s new exhibit “Drawn in Black and White: Wee Pals and the Works of Morrie Turner.” The exhibit runs through Feb. 27, 2008. 
</p>
<p>
Joining Turner at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, for a panel discussion on African-Americans in Comics and Cartoons will be Robb Armstrong, creator of the comic strip Jump Start, and former editorial cartoonist Don Peoples. There will be a meet-and-greet reception following the panel discussion. 
</p>
<p>
Morrie Turner and Robb Armstrong will be onhand from 12 to 5 p.m. for demonstrations and signings. 
<br />
Turner created the ground-breaking comic strip Wee Pals, the first nationally syndicated strip to feature an integrated cast of characters. This living legend of the cartoon arts world is considered the “Jackie Robinson” of the funny pages. His work has influenced many minority cartoonists.
<br />
The exhibit features original artwork by Turner, including panel cartoons and comic strips on loan from The Museum of Cartoon Art in San Francisco, The Rose Marie McDaniel and Mark Cohen Collection and the Joe Wos Collection. Also on display will be original works featuring African-American characters, including Jump Start, Fat Albert, Sesame Street, School House Rocks and others.
<br />
Turner created the comic strip Wee Pals in 1965. The strip featured kids of different races, backgrounds and abilities who didn&#8217;t always agree with each other, but did always respect their differences. At the time, introducing black characters on the comics page was no easy task. Wee Pals appeared in only five major newspapers when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. However, within three months of King’s death, the strip was appearing in more than 100 newspapers and had achieved nationwide acceptance. The success of the strip led to dozens of books, toys, greeting cards and an animated television cartoon series, Kid Power. Turner coined the phrase “Rainbow Power,” which to him means the power of all colors working together.
<br />
 
<br />
Armstrong’s comic strip Jump Start portrays a loving African-American couple raising a family. Its themes are universal, and its positive, humorous and yet realistic portrayal of an African-American family has earned it accolades. Jump Start appears in newspapers nationwide.
</p>
<p>
The exhibit is made possible by Jean Schulz, The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, Rose Marie McDaniel, The  Cartoon Art Museum San Francisco and The ToonSeum Drawing Board Fund.
</p>
<p>
The ToonSeum is housed inside the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, located at 10 Children&#8217;s Way on the North Side and is included with the price of museum admission.
<br />
Admission to the panel discussion is free and open to the public.
<br />
For images or to arrange an interview with Morrie Turner, please contact ToonSeum Executive Director Joe Wos at 412-325-1060.
</p>

Who: Guest of honor Morrie Turner and special guests Robb Armstrong and Don Peoples
<br />

<br />
When: Saturday, Feb. 16, 2008
