Wenger insisted: ‘First of all we will fight with millions to get the youngplayers at 16 or 17, and instead of getting a better education we will spoilthem more. ‘Now the clubs are out to get the best players in Europe at 16, so they canbe home-grown because they have to spend three years before the age of 21. ‘The second effect is a player who is home-grown, you will give him acontract even if he cannot walk anymore because just sometimes he will make thenumber. ‘The Arsenal manager declared: ‘Top-level sport is performance, nothingelse.

When the Chicks Come Home to Roost

, " said Karen Levin Coburn, coauthor of "Letting Go: A Parents’ Guide to Understanding the College Years," (Fourth Edition, 2003, HarperCollins Publishers). Parents have to recognize that they cannot ‘control’ their grown children," said Karen Fingerman, author of "Mothers and Their Adult Daughters: Mixed Emotions, Enduring Bonds" (2002, Prometheus Books). "Having the child move back home makes the grown son or daughter more of a roommate, not a child again. "That’s how Charlene Mazer viewed the situation when Jenna moved back in. "We were more like friends in an adult relationship than like parent and child," Mazer said. One suggestion: Charge rent after a young adult moves back home, either in the form of a monthly cash payment toward the mortgage or as a regular contribution toward food and other expenses, advised Mead of the National Endowment for Financial Education. If your child doesn’t have a job, require a routine of chores, such as babysitting, yard work or technology assistance, she said.
Australian cricket’s ageing problem
The Age – Oct 15, 2005
Australiaprides itself on its sophisticated junior system, but increasinglyis finding that these highly trained tyros have nowhere to go. Inthe jargon of the time, they can see no pathway. Elliott might havehit upon a Latham-like unpalatable truth this week when hecastigated Victoria for showing too little faith in home-grownyoung batsmen. The state system is clogged up. This has two damaging effects. One is that the multi-talented,when they arrive at a choice, opt for football, where the pathwayis clear, not to mention lucrative. Dozens of promising cricketershave been lost this way in Victoria alone.

There are also fledgling lettuces, some dill, chives, springonions, a sorrel plant that sprung up unbidden, yarrow, a celeryplant, young silverbeet and spinach and a row of carrots. A special word about the carrots. Since gardening at Veg Out,they have become an almost favourite vegetable, partly because theylike the sandy soil, partly because the fresh home-grown item is somuch sweeter than a store-bought carrot, but mostly because eachtime I sow them I am amazed that a tiny carrot seed – they are thesmallest specks – has the wherewithal to become a carrot at all. (Also, children like to pull a carrot from the ground, and it isworth planting them just to watch their faces when they dothis. )This newfound respect for vegetables is one of the blessings thelittle plot has bestowed. It is a great pleasure to eat or sharewhat we grow, and since acquiring the plot I am far less likely toover-buy vegetables, because it has become painful to throw themaway. (Australians throw away more than 3 million tonnes of food ayear because of over-shopping and waste, according to a studyreleased by Planet Ark in May.

At the bottom are Brazil and Mexico, but even they, with labour rates of around $3 an hour, look positively generous compared with Sri Lanka, which is nearer 50 cents. China is a fast-growing car-producing nation conspicuous by its absence from this list. Exactly what workers under Communist rule earn for every 60 minutes spent in home-grown and internationally managed car plants is anyone’s guess. But Harvard University economist Richard Freeman reckons their wages are a quarter or so of the average Mexican’s. According to the US government figures, workers there are on $2. Which means that a Chinese man or woman rakes in around 62 cents over the same period.
