World's Longest Mad Lib Online at Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop

http://MadLib.HumorWriters.org
Summary: Call me Ishmael. Or Marsha Brady. Or, maybe, Mr. Potato Head. Using the literary classic Moby Dick, nearly 200 writers registered for the upcoming University of Dayton's Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop (www.HumorWriters.org) have created the world's longest "Mad Lib®" at MadLib.HumorWriters.org. A Mad Lib is a story with blank spaces where words have been left out. The leader asks the other players to provide words to fill in the blanks but doesn’t tell them what the story is about. The result is humorous story with lines such as, “Call me Mr. Potato Head.” Mad Libs is a registered trademark of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. “I think Herman Melville would approve of using Moby Dick as the base for the world’s longest Mad Lib,” said Tim Bete, director of the workshop. “After all, Melville wrote, ‘A good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing.’”

ADHD Blog Network Launched: ADDvantaged.com

http://www.add-vantaged.com
Summary: ADDvantaged, Inc., a publisher of information and resources for people with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), today announced the launch of an online ADHD information community built on a blog network. The network, comprised of blogs written by respected authors and professionals in the field, as well as those of individuals with ADHD, is the first of its kind for the 12 million Americans with the condition, and addresses the extensive personal, social and occupational challenges that adults and children with ADHD face.


"Studies show that medication is only part of the solution to ADHD," said Andrew Martin, the company's president, who himself has ADHD, "The rest is about therapies, accommodations, education, and lifestyle changes-- and that kind of information often doesn't get into people's hands. The answers are out there, but are very fragmented. We're creating a fulcrum of ADHD information from professionals and the grassroots. Blogs are the best way we've seen to do this."
