Shin chan DVD

Shin and the rest of the Nohara clan endure the eccentricities of their neighbors, as well as Shin's butt-obsessed behavior, as they try to survive in their crappy apartment while their house is repaired. When they finally do get back into their refurbished and repaired house, the fun isn't over, as a race of alien dogs kidnaps Shin over his treatment of his dog and a visit to Mitzi's parents ends up involving Hiroshi's rascal of a father, too. Along the way Shin must deal with two girls warring over his affections and Shin's teachers, neighbors, classmates, and friends' parents must deal with both Shin and their own warped issues and problems.

Careers in the arts

Students aged between five and 18 who are talented in the arts can enrol part-time at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts' (Nafa) School of Young Talents. Enrolment has increased steadily from 1,000 in 1999 to 3,700 now. But despite the increase, Madam Fang Yuan, the school's founding principal, has lamented that the students are not taking up careers in the arts. According to her, parental concerns and school workloads stop students from pursuing their artistic studies and training. There are students at 14 or 15 who have been offered places at prestigious music schools overseas, but their parents insist that they complete their O levels before they accept the offers. Madam Fang said she was dumbfounded.

University hosted more than 150 arts events during the fall 2008 semester alone

Since the first Creative Arts Festival in 1952, Brandeis has been known as one of New England's premier centers for innovative art and culture. We believe that creativity, community and arts participation are essential to global citizenship and a new vision for this century. During the fall 2008 semester, Brandeis sponsored more than 150 arts events with an estimated attendance of nearly 20,000 people. The unique mission and vitality of the Brandeis arts community was captured in the 2008 Ava Award-winning video by Marjorie Lyon.

Statement from the National Endowment for the Arts on the Passing of Claiborne Pell

The National Endowment for the Arts mourns the passing on January 1 of former U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell. Perhaps no single person had as much influence on the founding and early history of the NEA as Senator Pell. Beginning in 1963, he oversaw hearings on legislation to create the NEA and the National Endowment for the Humanities noting, "...as our cultural life is enhanced and strengthened, so does it project itself into the world beyond our shores." In addition to being a key force in the Arts Endowment’s inception in 1965, Senator Pell was a staunch supporter of the agency throughout his congressional tenure. Our arts organizations, arts educators, and the nation’s two million artists owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. We have lost a powerful advocate and a fine public servant.

A great gathering for arts and culture

or 18 years now, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has been spearheading the National Arts Month (NAM) in the month of February with a series of festivities and activities mounted throughout the country, meant to celebrate Filipino artistry and to promote the arts and the artists. For 2009, the celebration continues with intensified promotion. For a country that has scant interest in art and culture, NAM has remained largely overlooked despite efforts to popularize it. It is an unfortunate thing as past celebrations have yielded notable and interesting productions. As early as now, efforts in publicizing the event are underway. There are plans to penetrate television shows, malls and different schools to promote NAM. Celebrity endorsers are being tapped.

Mars Rovers Complete Their Fifth Year of Mission

The twin geologic rovers that were deployed more than 5 years ago on Mars, NASA's Spirit and Opportunity, managed to survive their fifth season on the Red Planet, despite the fact that they were expected to last less than 3 months in the frigid winter that their unfamiliar surroundings offered. Now, having survived more than 20 times their life expectancy, they are heading to new horizons, exploring rocks and craters, in an attempt to determine if water existed on Mars, and how it helped shape the landscape of the planet.

Raucous and freakish

"Mainly Aussie", read the headline for the teams selected by Cricinfo staff at the end of 2007. This time around, the piece could be titled "No Aussies" (though that may not be quite an accurate indicator of the way cricket has gone in the last year): there isn't one Australian in either of the sides. However, the lists are not dominated by players from the team of the year, South Africa. Although a couple of their players are among the most popular choices in the Test team, the only South Africa-born player in the ODI team is Kevin Pietersen. The one team dominating the XIs this year is India: their openers, their captain, their new-ball bowlers, and one of their veterans all make it to the teams.

Art tourism By GEMMA CRUZ ARANETA

ART tourism is in vogue thanks to people who passionately pursue their love for art and satisfy their curiosity about different cultures. Oftentimes, frequent travelers eventually become amateur collectors of sorts, accumulating souvenirs, handicrafts and artistic finds during their trips. Soon they yearn for non-material cultural experiences so they look for art festivals and fairs with corollary activities like concerts and plays. There are professional collectors known to be seasoned travelers and are, always in search for emerging, promising artists whose works they gobble up as future investments or to enhance their inventory. Art tourism is enticing, educational and informative; they can be festive and memorable as many of them include special film showings, vibrant theatrical performances, and unique concerts featuring prestigious

Cell Phones #1

When asked to choose one technology to use for an entire day, cell phones topped the list for teens. And they’re not using them just for talking—70 percent use their cell phones for texting, according to a survey by the Consumer Electronics Association. Teens also use their phones to access mobile entertainment, shoot videos, listen to music, and watch videos. Also, more than one-third of teens’ cell-phone activities include accessing and creating content, which means teen ownership of smartphones—those with computerlike features—is expected to take off. “Today’s teens were introduced to technology as toddlers and rely on consumer electronic products like computers, cell phones, and MP3 players that make their lives easier,” says the study.

Milky Way Heavier Than Thought, and Spinning Faster

An anonymous reader writes "The Milky Way is spinning much faster and has 50 per cent more mass than previously believed. This means the Milky Way is equivalent in size to our neighbor Andromeda — instead of being the little sister in the local galaxy group, as had been believed. One implication of this new finding is that we may collide with Andromeda sooner than we had thought, in 2 or 3 billion years instead of 5."

Why Arts Coverage Should be More Like Sports
