	Many parents are concerned about the fact that their children play many video and computer games. Perhaps the best way to address concerns over the effects of video games is to emphasize their vast potential to educate. Even games with no educational intentions require players to learn a great deal. Games are complex, adaptive and force players to make a huge number of decisions. Gamers must learn rules through trials and errors, solve problems and puzzles, develop strategies and get help from other players via the Internet when they get stuck. The problem-solving mechanism that underlines most games is like the 90% of an iceberg below the waterline - invisible to non-gamer. It is the pleasure of this problem-solving, not the violence which is sometimes included in games, that can make gaming such a satisfying experience. Nobody is using violent games in schools, of course, but other off-the-shelf games such as "Slim City", which contains model economies, are used in education. By playing them it is possible to understand how such models work. In “Slim City", for example, in which the player assumes the role of a city mayor, no amount of spending on health care is ever enough to satisfy patients, and the fastest route to popularity is to cut taxes.

	The sport of sumo is Japan's traditional style of wrestling, and it is one of the oldest organized sports on earth. Sumo matches were taking place in the seventh century A.D. The basic elements of modern sumo began to fall into place in the 1680s, and it remains little changed since then. Sumo wrestlers are huge men by any standard. Their average weight is 160 kilos, and there is no weight restriction. The Hawaii Salevaa Atisanoe, whose sumo name is Konishiki, weighed over 280 kilos when he was a successful wrestler. To achieve such impressive dimensions, sumo wrestlers eat large quantities of chankonabe, a Japanese stew whose ingredients include vegetables, chicken, fish, tofu or beef. In the ring, they wear, without shame, little more than a traditional silk belt called mawashi. Their hair is styled in a fashion popular with 17th- century samurai.
Sumo matches are rich in tradition. The wrestling ring, called the dobyo, is exactly 4.55 meters across. Above it hangs a beautiful shrine roof that illustrates sumo's close association with Japan’s Shinto religion. Wrestlers throw salt onto the ring before each match, a religious tradition believed to make the ground pure. Overseeing the fight in the gyoji, an official dressed in wonderful traditional clothes who closely watches and sometimes encourages the wrestlers.
As Japan becomes more internationalized, so too does the world of sumo. Wrestlers from Mongolia, Korea, Russia, the United States, Argentina, and other countries have taken their turn in the ring. It’s not surprising that so many people are entering the sport, since professional sumo wrestlers enjoy many benefits. Top wrestlers are national heroes and can earn more than one million dollars annually; some have been married movie stars.
Foreign wrestler once found it difficult to advance in sumo. Konishiki once complained to the press, “If I were Japanese, I’d be a grand champion now.” But since then, four wrestlers of foreign origin have become grand champions or yokozuna, the top level of sumo wrestler. Few other sports have been so successful at keeping traditional roots while still appealing to a 2lst - century audience. For this reason, the ancient and the modern will continue to meet in the sumo ring.
