Reggaeton means the same thing to Latino youth as hip-hop does to African-American kids. We didn't have artists to look up to before. But the young kids now, they're looking at Daddy Yankee and Tego Calderon and Ivy Queen like kids in the American 'hood look up to 50 Cent or 2Pac. I'm representing for my culture and my people. It's their music.

Our losses have been coming at the end of games. That shows the youth of this team. We got beat by a better team today. Even with me hurting, my teammates stayed in the game. It came down to a couple possessions at the end where we needed stops, and we didn't get them.

Our numbers are down this year. We used to get around 350 players but this year we only had 96 players that signed up. That's partly because some had to work and also a lot of our youth leave each year. We also lost a lot of our women to Monday night women's hockey.

I saw my first two Broadway shows when I was 4 years old, 'The Lion King' and 'Beauty and the Beast,' and after both of them I came home and reenacted the entirety of the shows on my living room table for my family and friends. I started doing that after every show I saw until I actually did my first youth production when I was 5.

I'm humbled that it comes from our country's and our continent's youth.

Maybe some of our youth came out a little bit in that. But I think they learned their lessons. We were fortunate enough, like I said, to be able to walk out with one even after we blew that lead. It's all a learning experience; it's fun. I mean, a great crowd and the boy were into it -- I told Chris Newsome I thought he was going to give me an early heart attack and I'm too young to get one of those.

Jonathan is a very bright kid, and he is very conscious about his academics as well as his relationship with the youth in the community. He knows what it takes to be good on and off the court, and this award is tribute to his hard work.

I think the state has made great strides in improving its youth systems. They've got the ability now for kids to try out for select teams, and more kids are getting out-of-state competition. A lot of that has given (Maine's) youth players more experience.

It dawned on me that we didn't have any national meeting, much less an organization, for youth that were fighting the tobacco industry.

I think the smartest thing they've done is invest in youth speedway. They run the youth races every week. They've helped the kids, encouraged the kids and they've made a big deal out of it. Now there's about a dozen Division I riders that have gone through that youth program.

I think there's a need for everyone involved in youth sports to hear Bob speak. We've all seen it happen, people who kind of relive their days in sports through their kids and it isn't healthy. Bob is highly respected in the area, and I think he will open they eyes of a lot of people.

Retailers have been looking for growth for the past several years, but frankly, they've been looking in all the wrong places. Department stores had given up on this customer to chase after the youth market, and while 40 may be the new 20, these women want to dress differently.

I think reuniting original lineups is awesome. Ultimately, that's what people want to see. You know, you see elder statesmen of classic rock doing it whether it be REO SPEEDWAGON or STYX doing it. You know, getting as many of the original members that are still around. You see them doing it, you see metal bands doing it, pop bands DURAN DURAN , everybody's trying to do that. I think what everybody realizes at some point is that if you can make those things work it's really cool. Ultimately, that's what the fans want to see when they go see those bands. They want to relive that piece of their youth or that piece of their life when that band was doing what they do best. So, I think given the right circumstances, those things usually fare pretty well for everybody. And most importantly, the fans are happy about it.

It is a gradual thing that has happened over months. I wasn't willing to fight against youth -- I mean youth in the form of Andrew Strauss.

It has been difficult to show effects of stress on the development of hypertension because it may be that only a subset of people who show a genetic susceptibility will develop high blood pressure after chronic exposure to stress.

I think youth always helps you. Youth always has its advantages.

I think youth is not a panacea. In Eric's case, he had an understanding of what we're tying to do.

Finally, he has a thirst and desire to not only manage, but to be part of a leadership team to help turn things around.

I thought at that point that we had a chance to make some plays and get back in the game. Our youth and inexperience caught us. Not being prepared sometimes, that will hurt you.

I think we're a long way away from where we need to be to be able to compete next year. I didn't think our quarterbacks played very well. ... I think across the board, youth and inexperience showed up today.

I think we're a much different team now. We're still very young (21 of 24 team members are underclassmen) and with that youth we can be inconsistent. Sometimes we play great offensively and sometimes great defensively. If we can get them both at the same time, watch out.

Truckee, they just reload every year. With them, it's all about the system. The key with Truckee is that they have a real good youth football system up there. The kids they get have all played football before. Those kids can just step into that program and play.

Today's youth are tomorrow's conservationists and if we don't instill in them a love of the outdoors at an early age, the hunting and conservation tradition could be lost. We need to hook them on hunting at an early age, so they become appreciative of the hunting tradition. This will also increase hunter retention and ensure the future of conservation remains strong.

We have the third highest youth crime rate in the state of Kentucky. We're trying to find ways to give them alternatives to better themselves and the community.

You know, everybody gets fortunate in their lives, and this is a great moment for me personally, but it's also a great moment for a bunch of guys who really deserve it, how hard they worked. This is a special team. Youth marches on.

The quality of our youth development was poor. United were the best. Arsenal became very successful. We couldn't afford to ignore it. We decided to go for it in our own inimitable style.

Unfortunately the spirit of the event, as it was originally conceived and as it has been presented to the appropriate civic groups and government officials since November 2004, seems to have been lost in the haste to stereotype all graffiti-style artists as 'vandals' and to brand this event as a 'promotion of crime,' ... At its core, this is an event designed to celebrate an art form born from the streets of New York over two decades ago as a means of creative self-expression, allowing the public a unique chance to experience the workmanship and skill that go into creating a piece of art fine enough to hang on the walls of any traditional gallery or museum. Upon completion, a 48-foot mural will be donated to The Point, a Bronx-based nonprofit youth development organization, while the remaining nine will be placed throughout the city for public display.

We have always believed the Navy has played a part in what we do and we are happy to have them there. We are not in the business of making money. We are in the business of youth development and these guys are youth,

I was one of those kids, inner-city youth and finding my way. I made it. I made a success out of myself, surprisingly.

The 2004 elections proved that if you ask them, they will vote.

Young Voter Strategies' competition will build on that momentum in 2006 and refine youth outreach methods.

That weekend we will be hosting all of the Div. I schools in the state of Georgia. And to round out the field of six teams will be Team Boca U-17 Club Team. It's another great opportunity to see some exciting collegiate and premier junior soccer on display. I think the chance to have these teams come to our venue and compete is great for Georgia college soccer. Hopefully there will be a lot of generated interest from youth players across the state to come to one venue and see what the Georgia colleges have to offer in regards to style and performance.
