You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same – hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center’s Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It’s a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don’t have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

I live in Illinois and I’m trying to find a website where I can place bets on sports legally. Any ideas? Is it even possible?

Not only its illegal on the internet, but the U.S. government is doing you a favor, from my own experience I can tell you that online sportbooks and casinos are crooks!!! They do not pay when they loose, they only collect when they win, specially if you win big, you will never see a dime of it, they are crooks, and they are not bound by US laws, because they are off-shore, therefore, do not trust your financial information to these thieves.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, don’t answer. I just wrote them down in intials quickly but I can’t remember this one.

The fitness tests-examples are Beep Test, Grip Strength Tests, Illinois Agility etc.

The only thing I can think of is Body Composition, or bent leg curl ups?

a good song that describes a sports game being played where a team wants to beat the other team.

anything you can do i can do better

I currently live in Illinois, and am planning on attending Indiana University and doing diving there. However, I am worried that tuition will be ridiculous without in-state tuition (23,000). How likely will I get in-state tuition for participating in sports?

Playing sports has nothing to do with in-state tuition. State schools receive most of their funding from the tax payers of the state. Out of state students are not paying to fund the school,and thus have to pay more. If cost is an issue, look at the state schools in Illinois,

How beneficial is playing Division IAA (like I do as a freshman) college football to my job resume? Is it worth all of the time you put in? Will it really help me get a job?

Even though it does not add to your skills at a job (except if you work in sports) it does help build camaraderie with an interviewer, co-worker, or boss. I am a college student, and numerous people (mostly guys) have told me that during interviews they started talking about sports. Think about it — if you can connect with the interviewer about something you both like, such as sports you would leave a memorable impression and are more likely to be selected for a job than someone who has the skills but does not connect to the interviewer. Also, most jobs have sporting events (ie. softball, basketball, baseball etc). This is great way to get to know your boss or other co-workers (especially if they’re male) and could be essential to you being selected for a promotion, raise, bonus etc.

When you start to interview for jobs, you will realize that it is much more than hard skills employers look for (this is especially to true in competitive industries like finance, accounting, etc).

It is a double edged sword though, if you have low grades (below 3.0) I would say ditch the sports and work on your grades. This is especially true if you want to pursue something like law (in which to get into the best schools you need at least a 3.3 gpa). The recession is making the competition very fierce! I am a senior in college and employers are not hiring much and are very selective. Hopefully, when you’re ready to graduate the markets won’t be so tight.

FREE internet gambling – win and cash out real money; lose and pay nothing – all losses paid by advertisements.

If the gambling involves actual money, it is illegal for a minor to participate. This website does not operate like that. They give you 10 cents ‘play’ money to start with. Once you have a balance of ‘play’ money more than $10, they send you an AlertPay transfer dollar for dollar. Or you can trade your ‘play’ money for items. This is possible through the site’s advertisers. You can’t deposit real money into the website, so technically it is not ‘gambling’ if real money is not involved. It is actually illegal to operate a website that allows users to deposit money from a financial institution into an internet gambling account and use that money to gamble online. It has been since 2006, thanks to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

People are telling me that because I am skinny, there are some sports I just cannot play and some that I can do? Can someone give me a list of those sports?

Maybe long-distance running–indeed, most types of track and field events. Perhaps tennis or soccer or swimming.
