The paper chase is over. Flight strips have gone digital.

We've deployed electronic flight strips at 17 air traffic control facilities so far, with 89 planned by the end of 2028. @CNN takes a behind-the-scenes look at the many ways we're modernizing the National Airspace System to move aircraft more efficiently.

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

[Robert Grove @CoachRGrove]

@RGIII Totally agree!!!!! Track officials need to remember they are there for the kids. Remember, these are kids. Coached for 14 years and will never forget having a senior girl DQed on the starting line of a league championship for having a rubber bracelet around her ankle....

In the event of an emergency evacuation, every second counts. Flight crews are elite safety professionals trained to move passengers off an aircraft in seconds. Passengers must listen to their instructions and exit the aircraft immediately leaving all carry-on items behind. Any delay risks the safety of everyone on board. Leave the luggage!

City of Los Angeles bought a Ramada Inn for $10.2 million to house homeless

Since then, they started sending money to a NGO to takeover the project. Its now sat vacant for 4 years and $20 MILLION has been spent, meant to house only 32 people

No work being done. Money laundering

“For years, neighbors say construction has been slow. Where are the workers? Where is the urgency? — For almost 4 years, the property has sat unfinished. Why does it take so long and such a waste of money, there's nothing to even show for it”

PSA. Give yourself two hours for flight connections. Three for international.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

A few years ago, I tracked improvement rates of my college runners and compared it to a whole slew of factors to see if anything correlated.

The most important factor? Did they show up to practice.

Those who missed the fewest days tended to improve the most.

The future of collegiate athletics is certainly in the air, and coaches, like @CoachDaveSmith, have voiced their thoughts and concerns on what's to come for sports like cross country and track and field. #NCAAXC

I just wanted to applaud @GavinNewsom on being able to afford a $9M mansion on a $224,000 a year salary.

That’s some wild economics.

[Robert Grove @CoachRGrove]

Could not be more true!!!

I tell all young coaches that when considering a job, one of the most important things to look at is who their AD will be.
