Today the sandy box is full and kids are having fun this is how i met so mine kids when i was growing up this was a place where kids can be kids there was no talking about race , politics, who is rich or poor the only thing was on your mine as a kid was colors,numbers,lunch,naptime,going outside and running around till you was dizzy, sick, and dirty . no parents was allowed in the sandbox at all their job was to keep you clean clothes make sure you had a up to date lunch box of your choice from tv shows to cartoons, when parents start talking about race around their kids they pick up fast because they learn colors from school and they no the different colors are not the same but they don't no the meaning of black or white tell a parent tell them and that's how kids start knowing they are not the same color that's the first start of the race thing so all the white kids start playing with the white kids and all the black kids start playing with the black kids so parents are at felt for not mining their own business and just let the kids play together. NEXT PICTURE
NOW the sand box start looking like this because parents feel safe because they are around their own races is wrong because now they don't see no other races of kids to play with in the sandbox some of them grow up to be racists or withdraw for being social and meeting new friends and learning about other cultures, next picture THIS SHOOTING IS NOT A RACE THING AT ALL BUT ITS HAD TO START FROM SOMEWHERE TO MAKE HIM DO THAT IT CAN BE ANY KID IN AMERICA !!

Perhaps Tim Tebow should consider an interesting alternative. (USAT Sports Images)
Now that the New York Jets have benched Mark Sanchez, passed Tim Tebow by, and decided to go with second-year, seventh-round quarterback Greg McElroy as their short-term answer at the position, one must wonder what Tebow's future might be as an NFL passer. Under offensive coordinator Mike McCoy in Denver in 2011, Tebow was the beneficiary of a structure that worked -- Denver's coaching staff brilliantly welded the option concepts Tebow learned at Florida with just enough of an NFL passing tree to make it work.
When the New York Jets traded for Tebow in March, the marriage was doomed from the start -- head coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano insisted that they had plans for Tebow, but they clearly didn't. Now, according to more than one report, Tebow feels that the Jets misled him -- perhaps their only intention was to use him as a publicity stunt -- and if McElroy starts the last two games of the 2012 season, Tebow very well could ask for a trade or his outright release.

Parents who fail to pay court-ordered child support for the care of their children put an unnecessary strain on the custodial parent and the children, as well as on agencies that are tasked with enforcing these matters. Although most child support cases fall under State jurisdiction, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) plays an important role in aggressively pursuing parents who fail to pay court-ordered child support.

FORTUNE -- Mark Zuckerberg donated Facebook shares worth $500 million to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a non-profit organization that works with donors to allocate funds according to their interests. The gift is the largest ever received by the foundation, which finances projects locally and around the world, and Zuckerberg said he planned to focus his giving in health and education.
Zuckerberg announced the gift in a post on Facebook, where he noted that he and his wife Priscilla Chan had previously signed the Giving Pledge, an effort led by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates to encourage billionaires to donate most of their wealth to philanthropic causes. In 2010, Zuckerberg pledged to donate $100 million in Facebook (FB) shares to an effort to improve public education in Newark, New Jersey.

Washington (CNN) -- As the nation sent up a collective wail of grief over the 26 people slaughtered in a Newtown, Connecticut, school last week, the nation's leading gun rights lobby remained silent.
Until now.
The National Rifle Association, with roughly 4.3 million members, deactivated its Facebook page, had stopped tweeting on its Twitter account and had been issuing a "no comment" to any media outlet, including CNN, seeking a response.
But late Tuesday, the group broke that silence with a statement:
"The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters -- and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown. Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting. The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again," the group said. It plans to hold "a major news conference" on Friday.

As he dispatched a fresh batch of rookies to help keep New Haven’s streets safe, Mayor John DeStefano called for the national banning of semi-automatic weapons and large capacity gun clips—or else “the unimaginable will become more commonplace.”
He issued the policy recommendation and the jeremiad prophecy Monday evening just before administering the solemn oath to 28 newly minted New Haven officers and four others from Hamden, Redding, and Ridgefield who finished the regimen at the city’s police academy.

Calls For New Weapons Ban
NEWTOWN, Conn. — An undisclosed threat forced district officials to keep an elementary school here closed Tuesday, four days after one of the most brutal mass murders in U.S. history took place at another local school.
Tuesday marked the first day of classes for district students since 20-year-old Adam Lanza's attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School left 20 students and six adults dead. Sandy Hook will remain closed indefinitely, and its students will resume classes at a school in a nearby town.
Students at Head O'Meadow Elementary School also were told to stay home Tuesday because of the threat, though no details were released.

The Dick's Sporting Goods chain said Tuesday that it is suspending sales of some rifles nationwide because of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.
Dick's also said it's removing all guns from display at its store closest to Newtown, Conn., where the shootings place.
Earlier Tuesday, Wall Street private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management said it will sell its stake in firearms maker Freedom Group, which makes one of the guns used in Friday's mass shooting that killed 26 people, including 20 children.
A statement on Dick's corporate website expresses sympathy for the victims' families. It says sales of "modern sporting rifles" will be suspended during "this time of national mourning."

Don't get Antwand Pearman wrong. He doesn't think video games are to blame for tragedies like the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. But he said he does think gamers have a place in mourning of the 20 children and 7 adults who were killed.
Pearman, who is the CEO and Founder of GamerFitNation, is organizing an online cease fire for this coming Friday, Dec. 21. He wants all gamers to put down the controllers and stop firing virtual bullets to honor those who were killed by real bullets last Friday.
