Children may be vulnerable in $5 billion youth-sports industry

Children may be vulnerable in $5 billion youth-sports industry
The youth-sports world today is one where a 10-year-old boy travels from state to state to pitch as a hired gun against the best baseball teams across the country. ‘We’re in the business of preparing kids for the next level of life, but parents are in the business of preparing their kids for the next level of sport,’ said Dan Ross, executive director of the Ohio High School Athletic Association …

    We have spent billions to aid poor countries in Africa and other parts of the world. The problem is the corrupt Governments take the aid for them selves.

    Further more Obama Pelosi and Reid have already out spent the bush administration. For instance Obamas recovery and reinvestment BS was darn near a trillion dollars (that doesn't include interest on the loan to pay for it).

    Firstly, make sure that your behaviour is honest and that your own actions match your words.

    Then you can talk to them from your own point of view and experience of life.

    The world around us runs well because people co-operate and obey society's rules. They stop at traffic lights, for instance, and also drive on the one side of the road, not all over the place. People get up in the morning and make their way to train and bus stations in order to get trains and buses out for the public. We all turn up to catch those trains and buses because we know that society runs well, and that most people do their best.

    The young man in question has been well fed and housed because that's the sort of society we live in. If he does not want to be part of it, there is room for him in down-and-out- housing that welfare organisations run. Or in prison, where society keeps the errant types. Or he can sleep in parks and under bridges, risking his health and well-being.

    Someone has decided that he deserves to go to your summer camp, so that 'someone' wants him to enjoy his day. Ask him who that someone is, and how he feels about his opportunity to enjoy the day. Tell him, you really care if he has a good time, so what is there in his life that makes him want to be the centre of attention. That sort of talk. Hope this is of some help.

    First, imagine that we are at the exact center of the universe. And further imagine the universe actually expanded faster than the speed of light in it's infancy (in the first fractions of a fraction of a second)- so there are regions that are now farther than 14 billion light years away. So we might be able to see 13 billion or so light years in every direction, right? Now add to that: space is everywhere centered. Every location is "the center". We are not in a favored position, but we are at the center of the expansion. So we can "see" objects as far away as 13 or 14 billion light years, in theory. There are regions of the universe that we cannot see because the light has not reached us yet. The universe actually extends to 60 billion light years in every direction, but most of that is beyond the horizon. That huge size is due to the early expansion, a period called "inflation".
