![]() | Children, Ethical Sport and the Olympic Games Google Tech Talks February, 1 2008 ABSTRACT Given Ms. DeFrantz's day to day work at the LA84Foundation, there are many questions about the ethical nature of sport as viewed through the goals of the Olympic movement. The LA84 Foundation exists because of the 1984 Olympic Games. Their mission is to get youth life ready through sports. The IOC has decided to have Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2010. The purpose for these Games was said to be a method for getting young people more interested in the Olympic movement. How will these Games produce that result? Speaker: Anita L. DeFrantz Anita L. DeFrantz, an attorney and member of the International Olympic Committee and 1976 and 1980 Olympic teams, is the president and member of the Board of Directors of the LA84 Foundation, which is managing Southern California's endowment from the 1984 Olympic Games. In addition to her Olympic bronze medal performance in the 1976 Games, DeFrantz won a silver medal in the 1978 World Championships in rowing, was a finalist in the World Championships four times and won six National Championships. The IOC awarded her the Bronze Medal of the Olympic Order for her leadership role in fighting the U.S. government-led boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. |
![]() | Modern-Day LDS Pioneers - Growth of the Mormon Church - 6/8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been a presence in Africa since 1853, but for the first 125 years it was established only in southern Africa. Applications by the Church for admittance into central Africa in the 1960s were denied, but those in 1978 were approved, and growth of the Church there has been impressive. From 1853 until 1978 most of the work of the Church in Africa was with European immigrants and their descendants in South Africa and in Northern and Southern Rhodesia (now Zambia and Zimbabwe, respectively). In June 1978, when the First Presidency announced the revelation extending the priesthood to all worthy male members of the Church, the way was opened for the Church to extend its full program to all the nations of Africa. Missionaries were sent to Nigeria and Ghana at the request of many local people who had already studied the Church scriptures and literature and had organized themselves into units that they unofficially called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church missions were later organized in Zaire, Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Ivory Coast, and Mauritius and Reunion islands. The establishment of the Church in Africa began at a special Church conference in Salt Lake City in August 1852, when President Brigham Young called 106 men to leave their wives in charge of their families, homes, farms, and businesses and go on missions to various lands of the world to proclaim the restored gospel. Three were called to go to South Africa: Jesse Haven, William H. Walker, and Leonard I. Smith, with Elder Haven assigned to preside. Leaving their families in the care of God, they arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on April 18, 1853, and set about to establish the Church in South Africa, encouraging the converts to "gather to Zion" in Utah. The missionaries faced heavy opposition from the local clergy and indifference to their message among the people generally; fewer than 200 people accepted baptism in the two and a half years they served. One of the first converts in South Africa in 1853 was Nicholas Paul, a thirty-year-old builder who aided and protected missionaries and let them use his home for meetings. He became the president of the first branch of the Church in Africa, which was organized in his home in Mowbray (Cape Town area). The 1853 missionaries also organized a branch of the Church in Port Elizabeth. When they returned to their families in America in 1855, other missionaries from America and South Africa were called to replace them. Between 1855 and 1865, 278 converts to the Church emigrated from South Africa to Utah. No LDS missionaries served in South Africa from 1866 to 1903, and the Church grew slowly. Missionaries returned in 1903 and served until 1940, when they were withdrawn because of World War II. During those years 230 missionaries had worked in South Africa. Since the return of LDS missionaries to South Africa in 1944, the Church has grown steadily there and also expanded to other areas of Africa. In addition to the efforts of foreign missionaries, much of the growth of the Church in Africa has resulted from the service of local members. Johanna Fourie instituted the Primary program for teaching the children in 1932 and spent the rest of her life (thirty-eight years) guiding and building this program throughout South Africa. In 1954 President David O. McKay became the first general authority of the Church to visit South Africa. The first LDS Church stake in South Africa was organized in Johannesburg in 1970, with Louis P. Hefer as stake president. That stake was divided into two stakes in 1978. In 1972 Church seminaries and institutes of religion were introduced into southern Africa. All African countries in which the Church is established now have these programs. The added week-day religious training of the youth has increased local missionary participation. In 1973 President Spencer W. Kimball pronounced a dedicatory prayer upon the land of South Africa which included the promise that wards and stakes would dot the land and a temple would be built there. New stakes were created in Durban (1981) and Cape Town (1984). The first black African stake was organized in 1988 in Aba, Nigeria, with David W. Eka as its president. Church growth in Africa since 1978 has been much higher in percentage than in the rest of the world. The major challenge is no longer to gain converts but to prepare local priesthood leadership. And as the Church continues to expand into sub-Saharan Africa, it must face the challenges of poverty and illiteracy. In addition to contributing to famine relief programs, the Church is helping its members in Africa to learn and implement the principles of self-reliance and independence.

![]() | Toronto Crime Stoppers Contributes $1000 to Rebuild BMX Park A Toronto BMX Park gets kickstart from Toronto Crime Stoppers to help rebuild after fire Broadcast time: 14:30 Thursday, April 10, 2008 Crime Stoppers 416−808−7260 On Thursday, April 10, 2008, Toronto Crime Stoppers presented a cheque for $1,000 to help rebuild the BMX Park that was largely destroyed by fire on Friday, March 21, 2008. The damage is estimated to be in the thousands. Wallace Emerson Park, 1260 Dufferin Street, has been the home of an incredible BMX Park. To a large, and growing, population of young people it means the world. It's a place of dreams, where you can emulate someone you look up to, pull off an amazing move or create one of your own. It's a place to meet and spend time with people who share the same passion, to come and dream of one day being just like them, or even better. You may have seen this same BMX park and not even realized it. It was built to be completely transportable and was the centrepiece at the 2007 Grey Cup BMX Park Youth Engagement Project, which was outside the Rogers Centre during the four−day lead−up to the big game. It was also used in the Toronto BMX Jam 08, held at this year's International Toronto Bicycle Show at the Direct Energy Centre. "Adults working with youth are doing positive activities together in their community. What more could you possibly ask for," said Constable Scott Mills, the Toronto Crime Stoppers School Officer. "This project has gone a long way to build trust between the youth and police and has a great deal to do with the large increase in the number of Toronto Crime Stoppers received over the past year." Toronto Crime Stoppers received 7,555 tips in 2007, a record number of tips since it began in Toronto in 1984. That was up from 6,876in 2006. "I'm reminded of the movie "Field of Dreams" when I think of this BMX Park" said Detective Larry Straver, the Co−ordinator of Toronto Crime Stoppers. "If you build it, they will come." "This park was built with passion, commitment, and determination. It was always about the kids. The creator, Michael Heaton, has spent countless hours, not to mention a lot of his own money, working alongside kids and volunteers. Not only did they build it, but all the ramps were painted with some incredible artwork. They built it...now they need the people to come and help keep this dream alive." The City of Toronto, Argos' Foundation, N.F.M. Trucking, Canadian Tire, RONA, I.C.I Paints, J.P. Towing CommunityCave, CSI, are just a few of the organizations and companies that have been involved with the BMX park in some way. For a glimpse into what has transpired over the life of this park, you can view it all on Youtube at: www.youtube.com/torontoBMX Toronto Crime Stoppers would like to ask everyone to please help rebuild the BMX Park. A trust fund has been setup by Humber College Police Foundation students http://csicommunity.com and http://communitycave.com . You can make your donation at any TD Canada Trust branch. Transit Number: 1304 Account Number: 6350692 Toronto Crime Stoppers would also like to encourage anyone who may have information about the fire to call Detective Gord Scott at 416−808−1410 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 416−222−TIPS(8477) or leave us a tip online at http://222tips.com |

What do YOU think? {PROJECT TRANSDOM} {rough, very rough!} {This is expected to be played out over three, ~10 minute vids} [Material in these type of [brackets] are visuals. The rest is spoken] {comments are in these brackets} ------------------------------------------------------ [Psylosybin Productions in conjunction with Rapacious Insectoid Studios presents...Project TransDom] ["All war is deception." —Sun Tzu] [Alexander the Great] Alexander the Great [Genghis Khan] Genghis Khan [Napoleon Bonaparte] Napoleon Bonaparte Like those that came before him Alexstarza Strophanthus started as a small time player on YouTube, but was quickly propelled into the limelight. Originally creating some stunningly evocative videos, the much beloved Viscount aspired to far loftier goals... [...then causing heterosexual males to secretly admit that they "liked" the Viscount a bit too much.] ...such as creating a truly epic video series! Instead, much as Alexander, GK, and Napoleon had done before him, Stroph fell into the trap of creating a Day of the Week Tranny channel that, with the exception of a few interesting bits about gender, produced a steady stream of DREK... [If you could be an animal, what kind of an animal would you be?] DRIVEL... [Can you spike your hair without using product?] And DREN... [Can you draw your eyebrows on without looking?] With his new found fame came more and more pressures; the new channel took up much of his time as did the additional subscribers, many wanting a piece of his porcelain white skin to wear in an amulet as a talisman. Then there were the reams of spam, a good deal from those that did not take kindly to others who enjoy the company of arachnoids and reptiles. With all these distractions the promise of a grand epic videos lay farther from the receding horizon then ever before. But like the greats that came before him, our much beloved Viscount realized that his brief world domination segment, sandwiched b/t his "Happy Birthday Brycie!" video could be truly transformed into an epic tale, if it were to become "undisputed reality" [Snail Taco vid visual]. Rather then spending his days "painting flesh-eating unicorns frolicking among oceans of twilight clouds", as AG, GK and NP had done in their youth, the High Priest of Switchgrass, our most beloved Viscount Strophanthus would instead conquer the world. The torch has been passed. Destiny waits! But how to conquer the world? Being an avid reader of scientific journals and historical documents, Stroph had noticed an interesting anomaly in the articles he read. Apparently development of a secret technology first became evident in 1984, something known as a reality distortion field. Using Google Patent search our most beloved discovered that a number of patent references first filed by Apple Computer had been classified top secret by the US Military. Using Google FreeInfo4All and Google HackIt, Alex was able to obtain the working blueprints for a mind control device that had actually been successfully tested on unsuspecting citizens just before the start of the Iraqi War. This weapon could surreptitiously alter the perception of reality of almost any individual when its signal is conveyed through cell phone, computer, GPS device, or mp3 player. There was only one problem. Rational thinkers, like Atheists, except the ones that go blathering on and on about how great their iPhone, iPods, and iMacs are, were immune to its effects. There was one caveat, if the signal was used concomitantly in the presents of a manipulative, narcissistic, and highly charismatic person, the two acting together should bend the mind of even the most rational blok. Without a moments thought, Charles Manson and Micheal James immediately came to mind. Charlie was not available, but Michael James was perfect! {it goes on...} |

That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, Philippians 3:10 (New International Version) 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

When Chuck was in middle school, gang violence began permeating the projects. For many, adolescence is one's search for acceptance. Like his head coach and many of his teammates, Chuck sought acceptance in organized sports such as baseball rather than acceptance in gangs or violent affiliations. Although Chuck escaped the vicious cycle of violence himself, it eventually caught up with him when his 19-year-old brother Malik was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1998. Chuck knows all too well the feeling of fear that one has walking the streets of Detroit and he is committed to making certain that the same fear does not inhabit the minds of his fellow Torontonians. |
