Police unit treats girls from Brazilianslum to a fairy-tale evening
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Dressed in long eveninggowns, girls from Rio de Janeiro’s Santa Marta“favela” slum have celebrated a fairy-tale evening ina debutante ball sponsored by local police.
The 15-year-old girls were escorted to the ball heldin a Copacabana dancehall Friday night by membersof the Pacifying Police Unit from their community. Thepolice units have re-conquered slums ruled fordecades by drug-dealing gangs.
The girls were coiffed and made up by volunteers,and their dresses were loaned by a formal wear shop.
Debutante balls have been a custom among upper-middle-class and wealthy Brazilian families. They marka girl’s transition from childhood to adulthood.
Beyond Hello Kitty:From jumping pears to goofy bears,Japan’s craze for cute characters
TOKYO (AP) — HelloKitty, whom many learnedlast week is a girl and not acat, may be the queen ofJapan’s cute characters, butshe’s hardly the only one.
There are thousands,and they are ubiquitous:Long-time favorite Dorae-mon (who really is a cat)has a daily quiz in anational newspaper. Littlemonster Pikachu hosted atheme cafe in Tokyo thissummer. Stress-relievingRilakkuma (”relaxedbear”) dangles fromteenage girls’ school bags.
Characters are not justfor kids in Japan, but apart of business and sociallife. Some see Japan’scute-craze, known as“kawaii,” as a sign ofimmaturity, but others sayit’s rooted in a harmony-centered way of life thatgoes back to ancient ani-mist traditions.
Japanese used to wor-ship many gods, and por-trayed ghosts as comicalcharacters. In what is seenas the origin of Japanesemanga, or comics, a set of12th-century scroll paint-ings humorously portrayfrogs, rabbits and other animals in human activities,from sumo wrestling to temple worshipping.
Hello Kitty and Doraemon now face hordes of new-comers, many launched by municipal governments topromote tourism and local products. Regular “charac-ter summits” choose a national favorite. The marketreached 2.3 trillion yen ($23 billion) last year, accord-ing to think tank Yano Research Institute Ltd.
Rams cut Michael Sam, 1st openlygay player drafted in the NFL
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Not long after Michael Sam wavedto an adoring crowd at Missouri’s season opener, helooked down at his cell phone.
It was 3 p.m. CT, the deadline for NFL teams to parerosters to 53 players. And the Rams coach was talkingto the players who didn’t make the cut.
He headed into the locker room. At some point, hisphone rang with the bad news: He didn’t make the cut.
Twenty others were cut by the St. Louis Rams onSaturday, all of them mere footnotes. For Sam, itmeant a roadblock in his journey to become the firstopenly gay player to make an NFL roster.
Over and over, coach Jeff Fisher said, it was purely afootball decision.
