https://youtu.be/3mDTfqt3Il0 ... one of the most significant ways in which the government could aid the poor is by removing its own direct roadblocks from their productive energies. Thus, minimum wage laws disemploy the poorest and least productive members of the population. Government privileges to trade unions enable them to keep the poorer and minority-group workers from productive and high-wage employment. And licensing laws, the outlawing of gambling, and other government restrictions prevent the poor from starting small businesses and creating jobs on their own. - Dr. Murray Rothbard, For a New Liberty, p. 206 From the Bob's Just Asking podcast Images by Jack Lloyd, find his excellent contributions at The Pholosopher & his Voluntaryist - Comic Book Series.

She also shares the behind-the-scenes efforts that result in their innovative exhibit designs; the museum’s evolution since its inception in 1973; and their plans for the future – especially, an exciting new $5.5 million exhibit, “It’s Never Just a Horse,” that beautifully explores our relationship with horses.   Topics of Discussion: [:19] About Elise’s guest today, Pat Riley.

Dave Pietramala is widely regarded as the greatest defenseman in lacrosse history. As a member of the U.S. National Hall of Fame, he’s the only person to have won an NCAA national championship as both a player and coach, and the only person to be named both the NCAA player and coach of the year. Incredible. Pietramala – "Coach Petro" – recruited me to play under him at Johns Hopkins University in 2005, where we competed in three NCAA national championships, and winning two. Coach taught me how to work hard, compete, be humble, and respectful. He always harped on “the little things” – like keeping a clean locker room, hustling in between reps, being the first in line, and making eye contact. Each of these learned tactics translate into professional sports, business, and relationships. On the show, we take a drive down memory lane, revisiting learning moments and major adjustments from my freshman year in college. I was fortunate to step onto the field with one of the best senior classes our sport has ever seen, and one that completed an undefeated season, going 16-0. Coach Petro shares with us his origin story, why he chose to play at Johns Hopkins, and what the one-on-one battles were like with our sport’s greatest player, Gary Gait. In 1990, Pietramala’s coaching career began, taking his first coaching gig as an assistant coach for Gilman high school. From there, he earned a part-time collegiate assistant coaching position that paid him $3,000. To supplement his lower wage, Pietramala worked at an aluminum extrusion factory from 6am to 2pm. His subsequent coaching positions took him through the University of Pennsylvania, Loyola College, and Cornell, where he was named the NCAA Coach of the Year. In 2001, Pietramala took the head coaching position at his alma mater, where he’s helped revitalize the Hopkins program. He’s won two national championships, been to seven Final Fours, sixteen NCAA tournaments, and winner of the 2015 Big 10 conference championship. Other topics from our conversation include: -       What makes a high performance competitor -       The importance of feedback -       Pietramala’s biggest regret -       Recruiting: what Pietramala is looking for in a young lacrosse player -       I teach him how to use Twitter Enjoy the show.

The story of Harry Manson is not just about the pioneering career of Canada’s first aboriginal football player to be inducted into the National Hall of Fame. It is not just about how his life was tragically cut short. The story of Harry Manson is also a microcosm of what life was like for Canada’s indigenous population in the late 19th Century and for subsequent generations. We tell Harry’s story through the words of his grandson Gary. Gary was a product of the residential school system that the government set up and which was described by Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s report of June 2015, as a “cultural genocide” perpetrated on the indigenous population. We hear about Gary’s experience and how the recent discovery of his grandfather’s footballing exploits is giving his family and wider community a huge sense of pride and integral part of a nations healing process. We also hear about Harry’s footballing legacy as we spend time with the women’s football team who are preparing to take part in the inaugural World Indigenous games in Brazil later this year. Terry Fox Terry Fox set off on his 'Marathon of Hope' in an attempt to raise a million dollars for cancer research. Afflicted by the disease, Terry had his leg amputated, but it did not stop him from setting off on the adventure of running across Canada. Sadly he died before he could complete the journey, but not before he had raised over $24m, a dollar for every Canadian. His legacy lives on today and statues of him adorn nearly every major city, including Vancouver where he stands proudly outside the stadium that will host the final. We meet the brother of this true Canadian hero, and Anna a cancer survivor who was helped by the Terry Fox Foundation Women Watchers The Games of 1976 were the Olympics of Nadia Comaneci and her perfect 10 and where Bruce, now Caitlyn Jenner, won gold in the decathlon. It was the Olympics that took 30 years for the city to pay off and as for that stadium, well the retractable roof never really worked and so it is closed - permanently. But those Olympics also marked the last time Iran had participated for 12 years, because in 1979 the Shah was over thrown and the Islamic Republic of Iran was born. Banning women from sports stadiums was just one of the results of the Islamic revolution. Since then women have rarely been allowed to attend football matches and to this day remains banned. And here, as mums and daughters, grandmothers and sisters stream towards the stadium entrance there is a small group of women holding banned and politely explaining to people who stop about their banner that reads in large turquoise writing 'We Support Iranian Women to Attend Stadiums'. Holding one end of the banner is Maryam, who did not want to give me her surname, told us why this issue so close to her heart Jay DeMerit We hear from former Premier League star Jay DeMerit on his amazing rise from complete footballing obscurity to the Premier League and World Cup stardom. Now living in Vancouver he and his Olympian wife are using the power of sport to change the lives of children in British Columbia.
