Texas Bible Drill State Final Postponed

From the Baptist General Convention of Texas

Dear Bible Drill Leaders and Participants,

Like most of you, we have been very concerned about the increasing reports of Swine Flu affecting many people throughout Texas, our nation and even worldwide. News reports today informed us that upon the recommendation of the Texas Department of Health, and in consultation with the Texas Education Agency, Texas University Interscholastic League (UIL) has suspended all sporting events until May 11.

Due to the extreme health concerns that this creates for all people in Texas, but especially our children and youth, we have made the decision to postpone the State Final for Bible Drill and Speakers’ Tournament due to be hosted at the BGCT Baptist Building in Dallas, this Friday and Saturday, May 1 ‐2.

We are tentatively rescheduling the State Final for Friday and Saturday, May 15 – 16, again hosted at the Baptist Building in Dallas.

Please go to the BGCT web site ‐ www.bgct.org ‐ for updates regarding further information.   If you have additional questions, please feel free to call the BGCT toll free number 888.244.9400.

Sincerely,
Phil Miller
Director, Bible Study/Discipleship

Jarrad Farbs quit his job by creating a playable Super Mario Bros resignation letter

How do you break the news to your coworkers that you’re leaving your job at a major game studio to pursue indie development? With a game, of course.

Jarrad Farbs decided to leave his position as a developer at 2K Australia in order to take up independent game development full-time. But he wanted to let people know about his upcoming departure in a memorable, yet legal and non-horrifying, way.

He stayed up all night working on his resignation, a short, playable Flash game featuring Mario delivering the news along with a very nice farewell message. “Thank you 2K Australia!” the game says at its conclusion. “You gave me a paycheck, an incredible project and a world-class team to learn from. But my princess is in another castle.”

FEMA’s web site yanks coloring book depicting 9/11 terror attack

APRIL 29–The Federal Emergency Management Agency has removed a children’s coloring book from its web site following criticism over its inclusion of drawings of the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The coloring book, titled “A Scary Thing Happened,” is geared towards helping kids “cope with disasters,” and was prepared by a Minnesota crisis response team. Until yesterday, the coloring book could be downloaded from the FEMA web site. As seen below, the coloring book’s cover montage includes a drawing of one of the Twin Towers on fire as a plane approaches the second building.
