1/31/02: Well, James is back now, but I am staying in charge, he will be right alongside me through everything though. I added his article on tongue splitting in the People section.

1/26/02: I regret to say that James Norman Keen is leaving YMA. He founded this organization from an idea he had. I think that in this short period of time, he has helped to change some people's lives for the better. I enjoyed working alongside him in making his dream come true. We spent a lot of time discussing where this should go, and I always enjoyed his enthusiasm when we had a new idea, or figured out a better way to go about something. I know that YMA was something very special to him, and he will be missed. As a result of his leaving, I have started a new forum to replace the one on his IAM page (which will be deleted soon), and I have updated the links on this site so all of the forum links are directed towards the new YMA forum. I also should mention that YMA now has its own tribe.

1/21/02: after much work, I finally added my interview to the People section.

1/4/02: changed all the start pages to a page with the YMA logo (the design credit goes to Danny... alterations/touchups done by myself and David Walsh). added the People section, the submission requirements page, and added our first submission to the Speak Out! section.
