US Marine rejects plea deal in Haditha case
Los Angeles: A US Marine officer accused of failing to investigate Iraqi civilian deaths in Haditha rejected a plea deal under which his charges would be dismissed in exchange for an admission that he covered up the killings, his attorney said.
First Lieutenant Andrew Grayson is one of four officers who were charged with dereliction of duty for allegedly failing to probe the November 19, 2005 assault that left 24 Iraqis dead.
The killings occurred after a military convoy was hit by a roadside bomb. A Marine squad shot five men by a car and then killed 19 others as they cleared several houses in hopes of finding whoever set off the bomb.
"I was asked by the prosecution to fall on my sword for the greater good of the Marine Corps," Grayson, 26, said. "The prosecution wanted me to distort the truth to fit their end goal."

You're long-listed for the Man Booker Prize. You must be really excited.
It's been a real ride. Only three New Zealanders have ever been on the list before and only one has ever won. It's totally national news.
Are you feeling competitive?
I've started reading a few of the others on the long-list, and all it does is make me feel I can't imagine how the judges… It's so subjective. It's not a performance sport, I can't do anything about it.
This novel is huge, over 800 pages; how did you complete it?
Just many hours. I can't rush it out and I think dialogue takes longer, and so much of The Luminaries is dialogue. If it's wrong the whole book's off because it's the one completely unmediated part of the story where the characters speak for themselves. I'd just get up in the morning and not go to bed until I'd written 2,000 words.
Could you explain a little of what happens in the book?
It's set on the south island of New Zealand in the gold rush of the 1860s. The book opens with a council of 12 men who've met in secret to discuss a series of crimes. A young man named Walter Moody has come to make his fortune and when he walks in, unbeknownst to him, he has a piece of information that is very valuable to the people whose party he's just crashed.
It's been compared to a Victorian novel.
One of the things I really like about Victorian novels is the close anatomisation of character. People's gestures and mannerisms and the quality of their thought is very closely identified and analysed. These 12 men in the room are, in their personalities, representative of the 12 signs of the zodiac.
Do you read horoscopes?
I think they're silly. Astrology's a moving system that depends on where you're looking at it from on Earth. My horoscope here in London would be completely different to down in New Zealand.
Have you heard of Mystic Meg? She's quite famous.
Oh right.
She's always correct.
I wouldn't want to denigrate Mystic Meg, but astrology is more interesting to me as a system than as a tool for predicting anything.
You have Chinese and Maori characters. That's not something you see much in Victorian novels.
The readership of Victorian novels, when they were published, was much less diverse. People were probably white, and had enough money to be literate. Very often there are phrases in Italian, German and French that are left untranslated. I wanted to critique that convention – to not form an assumption about the reader of the book – so I have untranslated Maori and Cantonese phrases.
You've been described as the golden girl of fiction. How do you feel about that?
Any description of a person that comes from the outside is very hard to deal with. People don't like being summarised. It's nice to receive a compliment but it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
How have you found promoting your book overseas?
With my first novel, The Rehearsal, it dealt with teenage sexuality and homosexuality. The reception was very different in different countries. The UK was comfortable with those aspects of it, but the US was not.
Eleanor Catton, 27, is from New Zealand. Her debut novel, The Rehearsal, was published to acclaim in the UK in 2010. Her second book, The Luminaries, was long-listed for this year's Man Booker Prize and is available in hardback now

Pitt men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon noted his team's shortcomings in the moments after the Panthers lost Saturday, 60-59, to St. John's at Madison Square Garden in New York. He lamented the team's 16 turnovers, the number of free-throw attempts they allowed and their inability to beat the Red Storm on the backboards.
One thing he did not mention was some lackluster post defense, an ongoing problem in recent weeks that finally caught up to them.
Justin Burrell became the latest post player to have an easy time with the Panthers in the lane. A 6-foot-8 forward, Burrell continually caught the ball on the blocks and put himself in position to score in the Red Storm's victory. Burrell was 6 for 9 from the field and finished with 15 points. St. John's had 24 points in the lane.
Opposing centers and forwards have converted a high percentage of inside shots and have earned trips to the free-throw line recently.
• In a victory Wednesday against South Florida, Bulls centers Augustus Gilchrist and Jarrid Famous combined to shoot 7 for 13 from the field and scored 20 points.
• In a victory Feb. 12 against Villanova, Wildcats center Mouphtaou Yarou was 4 for 7 from the field and had 15 points.
• And in a victory Feb. 7 against West Virginia, Mountaineers center Deniz Kilicili was 9 for 13 from the field and scored 19 points.
Pitt centers Gary McGhee and Dante Taylor had such a tough time Saturday that Dixon switched to a zone defense for the final eight-plus minutes of the first half and again for a portion in the second half.
Dixon previously had pushed McGhee for Big East Conference defensive player of the year for his quality post defense, but opposing teams have not shied away from challenging the Panthers inside. That is especially the case when McGhee is on the bench.
Taylor, a backup, has had a difficult time defending in the post so much so that it is obvious opposing coaches are targeting him when he enters the game.
There is plenty of room for improvement in the post defense, especially considering the Panthers have to face West Virginia, Villanova and South Florida again before the regular season ends. Kilicili is the first to get another crack at McGhee and Taylor Thursday night when the Panthers play the Mountaineers at Petersen Events Center.
If there were a positive to come out of the St. John's game it's that junior guard Ashton Gibbs showed no ill-effects from his left MCL injury and appears ready for the stretch drive.
Gibbs scored a career-high 26 points and made six 3-pointers to pace the Panthers against the Red Storm. Gibbs had missed the previous three games while rehabilitating the injury.
"I wanted to make sure I was 100 percent when I came back," Gibbs said. "My knee is perfectly fine. I'm just playing my game now."
Gibbs was 6 for 9 from behind the arc to boost his season 3-point percentage to .473. One of the reasons Gibbs was able to hit his stride in his first game back was the fact that he was able to continue shooting during his rehabilitation. Gibbs could not put stress on the knee with side-to-side movements, but he was allowed to practice his shooting stroke.
Dixon played Gibbs 34 minutes off the bench, including 19 of a possible 20 minutes in the second half.
"He played well and I felt good about him in practice," Dixon said. "He really didn't do much until Thursday, but Friday I felt good about him. He was just moving quick and getting the shots and moving hard on the defensive end. I felt pretty good about him going into the game, but you really don't know how he'll be until you are in the game."
Gibbs accounted for six of Pitt's seven 3-pointers against St. John's. Despite playing just once in the past four games, Gibbs had more 3-pointers in that span that his teammates do combined. The rest of the Panthers have shot 5 for 33 from behind the arc.
Travon Woodall is 3 for 18 in the past four games, Gilbert Brown 1 for 9. Brad Wanamaker 1 for 3.
For the season, players other than Gibbs are shooting a combined 32.4 percent from 3-point range.

Chukar Partridge Adults - Flight Birds
Chukar Partridge Adults - Flight Birds
Product #:
Our Chuckar adult flight birds are a must-have for training your bird dog. After being raised in our 50' x 500' flight pens, these birds will fly as if they were raised in the wild.
Chukar Partridge is also known as 'Indian Chukar', 'Red-legged Partridge', 'Rock Partridge', 'Indian Hill Partridge', 'Chukka', 'Chukkar', 'Chukor', 'Chukore', 'Chikone', 'Kabk', 'Kau-Kau', and 'Keklik'. The bird is mostly gray in color, with shades of brown in the tail and secondary wing feathers. It has a white face and red-colored legs. The bird can be easily identified with a black band running down to below the neck from the eyes, which gives the impression of a necklace. Both the male and female Chukars are strikingly similar in appearance; only the females are slightly smaller than the males and have a smaller spur. These birds make a very loud and peculiar sound.
Chukars are one of the most commonly kept and bred of all game birds and we produce thousands of Chukars each year for hunting preserves and release. Chukars are also known as great birds for beginners, being very easy to keep and breed in captivity. Chukars are very hardy and can withstand both extremes of temperatures. During the Winter, keep as many birds as you can together so they can covey for warmth.

"Houle breaks down big ideas into easily digestible, entertaining small bites...Crack this book open whenever globalization's gotten you down."-Slate.com.
"The Shift Age lifts us out of the rapids of techno-change and helps us see the course of the river we've been rafting on."-Howard Bloom, author of the GOD PROBLEM and GLOBAL BRAIN
"[The Shift Age] is must read for anyone who is interested in where humanity is headed in coming generations. This book provides an overview of how our progeny will live, work, and play in coming decades."-Bob Citron, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Foundation for the Future
"David Houle's Shift Age offers an astounding proposition: the Information Age is ending with emergence of an age of constant change. Read this book!"-Reese Schonfeld, Cofounder of CNN, CNN Headline News, and Food Network
"America needs a new educational vision. Shift Ed provides a clear vision that emphasizes the essential ingredients of a twenty-first-century education based upon creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. Houle makes a great case that nothing less than transformation will be enough."-Daniel H. Pink, author of A WHOLE NEW MIND: WHY RIGHT-BRAINERS WILLL RULE THE FUTURE and DRIVE: THE SURPRISING TRUTH ABOUT WHAT MOTIVATES US
"The New Health Age offer a succinct primer on how we got here and where we should be taking the health of our nation" -Mehmet Oz, M.D., host of The Dr. Oz Show
The Information Age? Think again.
Change is everywhere: how we communicate, what we do for a living, the values we hold, the way we raise our children, even the way we access information. Thanks to a global economy, the force of the Internet, and the explosion of mobile technology, we have—almost imperceptibly—been ushered into a new era, the Shift Age, in which change happens so quickly that it's become the norm.
Man-made developments—such as tools, machines, and technology—defined previous ages, but the Shift Age will be defined by our own power of choice. In Entering the Shift Age, leading futurist David Houle argues that we are going through a major collapse of legacy thinking, eroding many of the thought structures that have defined the last two hundred years of humanity. Houle identifies and explains the new forces that will shape our lives—including remote workplaces, the cloud, "24/7" culture, speed-of-light connectivity, creativity, and the influence of Millenials and Digital Natives—for the next twenty years.
In this eye-opening book, Houle navigates this pivotal point in human history with clarity and anticipation, focusing on the power of human consciousness and the direct influence we can impart on everything from healthcare to media to education. According to Houle, we are more independent than ever before. We are in control.
There's no "going back" to the way things were. Reality is changing ever faster, and ENTERING THE SHIFT AGE is your guide to keeping up.

Read an Excerpt
From the Introduction
Are you unsettled? Do you feel anxious about the future? Why does everything that used to work no longer work and the way that things used to be now feels long gone? Are things getting better or getting worse? Are your children coming of age at a wonderful time or a horrible time?
Well, the reason you may be feeling uneasy and asking these questions is due to the time we live in and the fact that we are at a major inflection point in human history.
We have left the Information Age and have entered a new age, the Shift Age. The Shift Age is and will be one of the most transformative times in all history. Almost everything in your life and every part of your life is in some relative rate of shift.
No wonder you are worried and anxious! Or you may be incredibly excited by the future rushing toward us. Either way, Entering the Shift Age is the book to better help you understand all the incredible change swirling around you. Consider this book your road map to the future.

We have determined that Ulu (Apelord Fighter, yes?) has an Epic Destiny of "Monkey Fire God." Because Brian can't roll shit until Ulu has been lit ON FIRE. Word.
Rabbas (evilhat/Lydia) is all about the loot and the smackdown.
Zargon (yours truly, insane Dragonborn Witch Doctor) cares a bit about the "story arc" of WTF is going on. He is also (entertainingly crazy) rocking out in the hiatuses.
Weird dice luck and odd "thematic" issues came to the fore, here. It was Ulu, Rabbas, and Zargon against the world -- two controllers and a defender.
We almost got WIPED in the first (minor) encounter due to a small space and shitty rolls (from Brain and I). Honestly, I think if you took the rolls over that encounter, Brian and I (and thus, Ulu and Zargon) rolled >10 on a d20 about 10% of the time. As Ulu say: "Next time, we no go into fight DRUNK."
Second encounter was still ouchy, given difficult terrain and narrow access, and Brian and I rolling crappy.
However, after a rest, the beauty of our "Doom Patrol" squad came into focus. We DECIMATED the fourth encounter (Ulu critted against the medium bad), and came up strong in the final encounter. I/Zargon critically succeeded on my daily power against the big bad and one of his lieutenants. It HURT them, bigtime.
Then, after we had smashed the badguys, a singular foe was about to get away, whistling a jaunty tune, turning his back on us... and Rabbas put the MAJOR SMACKDOWN on him. And deaded him.
There was much awesome to go around.
Zargon now has magic shoes.
I am very interested to hear tales of other Witch Doctors, btw. I see WDs as a "mid-field" controller (opposed to the wizard, who is a "back-field" controller), and a semi-striker.
How does this work out in your games?
* The class shifted under him. I started playing Zargon before the Witch Doctor class was complete.
* Chad didn't know how to play a controller. I suck.
* Thematic change. Since Z has the Mask of the Ancestors, I think Z needs more STUFF related to that.
* Mechanical change. Thus far, I have not taken advantage of leveraging class abilities, skills, and powers. This will change.
So. Diggit.

While resident in Cairo in the 1840s, Lewis had adopted, in some measure, the lifestyle of a wealthy Ottoman merchant. In common with other long-standing European expatriates with whom he associated, Lewis lived a hybrid existence within the city's cross-cultural community. The witty essayist, William Makepeace Thackeray, had visited him there and in his colorful, tongue-in-cheek account, Notes of a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo, published in 1846, had elaborately highlighted Lewis's luxurious Eastern lifestyle, "going about with a great beard and crooked sword, dressed up like an odious Turk," investing his friend with an Arabian Nights-style glamour – "a dreamy, hazy, lazy, tobaccofied life." Not only was Lewis the suave, urban "bey," who wore "a very handsome grave costume of dark blue, consisting of an embroidered jacket and gaiters, and a pair of trousers, which would make a set of dresses for an English family," but he was also the Bedouin "sheik," whose "great pleasure of pleasures was life in the desert, - under the tents, with still more nothing to do than in Cairo; now smoking, now cantering on Arabs, and no crowd to jostle you; solemn contemplation of the stars at night, as the camels were picketed, and the fires and the pipes were lighted."
In England, Lewis seems to have attempted to perpetuate the cultural traverse that he had experienced in Egypt with a series of images that presented Oriental figures with features reminiscent of his own. The present so-called "Memlook" is one such, the proud untrammelled counterpart to the richly attired pasha surrounded by his harem women, portrayed by Lewis in his famously sensational first exhibit, The Hhareem (SPWC, 1850, no. 147; now Corporate Collection, Japan). A figure with similar features and wearing the same red Kashmir sash wound as a turban around his head, was portrayed as An Arab in the Desert of Sinai in 1858 and exhibited that year at the Royal Academy (no. 114; now Shafik Gabr Collection, Cairo). Since neither Lewis nor his contemporaries acknowledged the resemblance to himself, the purpose of these "disguised" portraits must remain speculative, but "it is possible that as well as demonstrating publicly his familiarity with and understanding of Egyptian culture and his unique ability to portray this for a British audience, they were also a private conceit to enable him to relive his oriental experience'" (Llewellyn, "Solitary Eagle"? The Public and Private Personas of John Frederick Lewis," p. 173).
As with many of Lewis's exhibited oil paintings, a watercolor version of the subject exists, which was made not for public display but probably for direct sale to one of the growing number of middle-class collectors eager for the artist's work (signed and dated 1863, watercolor and bodycolor, with gum arabic, 8 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches; private collection; see Spink-Leger, 1997, op.cit). Many of these smaller watercolor versions are almost indistinguishable in composition from the oils, but this example differs in showing only the head and shoulders of the "memlook" and a more partial view of his decorated, curved sword; it also lacks the desert view in the background. Another significant variation is in the man's turban: the same Kashmir cloth (also seen tied as a sash on several of Lewis's Oriental women) is arranged away from his face, revealing his features more clearly, in particular his prominent nose.
Other than his portrayal as an imposing man of action, there is little to link this figure with the mamluks. Imported into Egypt as slaves, they became the country's ruling élite, but they had been ousted and ruthlessly destroyed more than half a century earlier by the ruler of Egypt, Muhammad Ali. In both versions, Lewis has effected an unstated association of his own features with those of an Oriental character-type, with whom his public would have been familiar from their reading of both popular Orientalist tales and factual accounts, and who would have evoked both romantic and historical resonances in the imagination of his viewers.
We would like to thank Briony Llewellyn for writing this catalogue entry
1 The present work formerly had an old label attached to verso inscribed A Mimlook. Remaining is a label for Charles Roberson & Co, Artists' Colourmen. Charles Roberson and Co. were one of the major suppliers of artists' materials of the 19th and early 20th centuries, used extensively by Lewis after his return from Egypt, between 1852 and 1875. Operating from premises in Long Acre, London (from 1853, at No.99) their customers included many of best-known artists of the day. See the Roberson Archive, Hamilton Kerr Institute, University of Cambridge, and the selective directory of "British artists' suppliers" available via the website of the National Portrait Gallery London: http://www.npg.org.uk/research/programmes/directory-of-suppliers/r/british-artists-suppliers-1650-1950-r-part-2.php.

Firstly I am so so sorry to hear about your Nanna passing away, I hope that you and your family are all doing as well as you can be at a time like this.
I think you did a wonderful job expressing your love for your Nanna and your pain for her being sick and moving away and you knowing that soon she'll be gone.
I really loved this poem a lot and I think that your Nanna would have loved it too.
Great poem!!!
I love the poem.. you can tell you to were close. but death should be a happy time not sad. Your nanna lived her life to the fullest i would imagen and wants you to do the same. If you spend all this time upset about it how do you think she would feel about it. Dont get me wrong its ok to cry and grieve and miss her but dont let it stop you. make her proud.

Thanksgiving and Your Spa: Can a Hot Tub Aid Digestion?
Thanksgiving means gathering with family and enjoying delicious food—sometimes a little too much food. If you've indulged in a few too many servings of mashed potatoes and can't envision moving for several days, take heart: Jump-start your recovery by relaxing in your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub and letting it aid in your digestion.
The Basics of Digestion
When you consume a meal, your body begins the process of breaking it down and absorbing nutrients. Blood flow is diverted to your stomach and intestines to assist in this matter. According to a study on PubMed.gov, the heavier the meal, the harder your body has to work to break it down—which requires more blood. Now multiply that by several helpings of turkey, potatoes, stuffing, and dessert: your body has a tough few hours ahead.
Post-Meal Vasodilation
You can give your body a hand by slipping into your hot tub for at least 20 minutes after a large meal. When you spend time in warm or hot water, vasodilation—the widening of blood vessels—occurs. Vasodilation, according to The Mayo Clinic, makes it easier for blood to flow through your arteries and reach various parts of the body. The burden on your heart is eased, and your blood pressure will drop. Since circulation is improved, your stomach can digest its contents more readily. By assisting in vasodilation, your spa will help you begin to digest your undoubtedly enormous Thanksgiving meal.
The Mental Benefits
Beyond its physical benefits, your hot tub is also a welcome place to retreat after a great deal of time spent gathered around the dinner table. While your hot tub is aiding your digestion, it will let you spend additional time with friends and family—and relaxing together will help you absorb and metabolize your big meal, as well.
Next time you indulge in a big meal, whether it's on Thanksgiving or not, climb into your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub for afterward and expand your health and wellness.

Fuzzy Battery Terminal?
1 Attachment(s)
WTH would cause this? :confused: Humidity?
Only on the pos terminal...the battery is less one year old.
Clean that off with some baking soda and go to the local auto parts store and buy a set of treated felt pads that fit over the posts and under the battery cable clamps....
That will take care of it....
Put a little baking soda in and water in a can or jar and soak that battery cable clamp, make sure it's clean..
Cause is not opening the hood often enough and keeping the Battery posts cleanEvery battery will do this, it's a chemical thing, but once you put the neutralizing felt pads on, that will go away..... "BH"
Most likely the positive cable was over tightened and it broke the seal. What you are seeing is battery acid reacting with the metal on the terminal.
You can clean it with water mixed with baking soda and a wire brush. Also wear gloves.
It will come back and you will have to clean it as part of regular maintenance. This is very common and won't have much affect on the battery but you will need to also keep an eye on the water level in the battery and refill with distilled water as necessary.
Thanks guys! Someone suggested it may be the alternator overcharging the battery....is that a possibility?
I will get on the clean up and felts! thanks again!
I use a thin coat of vaseline on the battery terminals. Excess vaseline will melt off the terminals, but then it leaves a nice thin coat. Does attract a little dirt thought, but I clean them every six months
A can of coke will clean that up too.
So I stopped at the parts store on the way home and picked up felt pads, even if it would be a stop gap. I soaked them with the anti-corrosion spray I use on my boat engine.
When I cleaned the corrosion with baking soda and water...as I poured it on, the foam turned turquoise. The positive cable came off battery by hand :(
When I got the bulk of the snow off, I realized that the bottom half of the positive's clamp-connector was gone. (I looks like it's made out of a single sheet of metal folded in such a way that in cross section it looks like an I-beam that is bent around creating an upper ring and a lower ring).
SO I definitely need to replace it, but still need to find the issue. No visible cracks around the terminal post, but the acid is coming from somewhere. The battery is under warranty so should be able to exchange it.
I did replace the alternator last year with a used/salvaged part..so definitely worth checking that out.
I use the battery terminal spray, it keeps it clean.
You can have your alternator checked at most auto parts stores for free.
I just spray off the top of the battery (every so often) when I wash the Jeep to keep it from looking like that. When the factory battery is toast it will be getting a better battery, probably an AGM battery like an Odyssey, then that won't happen anymore.
Probably not overcharging. But you can check that easily. If it was the acid would be coming from the battery caps. If it's dry there that's not the problem.
Check it with a volt/ohm meter across the terminals. 14.1 volts with the engine running.
The problem typically comes from a leak around the battery post. You can't really fix that with felt pads, but you might make it a little better.
New cables would be best and not just a new clamp on end because they corrode easily.
Buy a can of Coke.
Pour half on battery terminal. Fill remaining half of can with rum. Don't pour on terminal....instead...pour down throat.
Maybe ya better remove the Battery completely and use your Coke or Soda solution to clean and neutralize the Accumulated acid there so it doesn't eat up the battery shelf.
And while your at it, spray some soap around all that area and get the wiring and surrounding area clean, hose it off.....
Good thing ya found that bad cable Now rather then miles from home in the brush....

Alan Shearer has shrugged off Newcastle's decision to rebrand the bar named after him, saying: "It won't stop me from buying my season tickets."
Signs at Shearer's Bar were removed yesterday, hours after the Magpies' record goalscorer used his column in a national newspaper to criticise the club over the appointment of Joe Kinnear as director of football and the resulting fall-out.
However, the development was a coincidence and the start of a major redevelopment programme which will see the bar reopen next month as Nine, a move about which finance director John Irving claimed the club had "liaised" with Shearer.
The former striker claimed he had not been consulted over the name change, but said he was not unduly bothered by it.
"There was no consultation, I was simply informed by email of their decision to change the name," he told the Sun. "It was not a question of me agreeing or disagreeing.
"It is their ground and it is up to the owners what they do with it.
"It won't stop me from buying my season tickets and supporting the team."
Shearer's Bar opened in December 2004 during Freddy Shepherd's reign as chairman.
The striker scored 206 goals during a 10-year spell with his home-town club, eclipsing Jackie Milburn's record in the process.
Irving said yesterday: "Shearer's Bar was immensely popular when it was first launched in 2004, but its popularity has dwindled over the years as this part of Newcastle has developed and new bars have opened around it.
"In transforming the site and opening the bar up to a wider range of visitors, it was important that a new name remained in keeping with the club's history and heritage, and Nine is certainly faithful to that.
"We have liaised directly with Alan to keep him abreast of the plans, which he has been appreciative of, and we're looking forward to launching Nine next month."

The Vancouver Whitecaps were denied a well-earned three points against the Seattle Sounders on Saturday, after Gonzalo Pineda converted a controversial penalty kick to level the score at 2-2. Whitecaps skipper Jay DeMerit was judged to have fouled Sounders striker Cam Weaver, though the "foul" that DeMerit allegedly committed was a mystery to me.
In the aftermath of the game, I tweeted this:
If we start giving penalty kicks every time players make minimal contact heading crossed balls, we'll ruin the game.
— Jason deVos (@jasondevos) May 25, 2014
If we start giving penalty kicks every time players make minimal contact heading crossed balls, we'll ruin the game.
To which I received this response:
@jasondevos LOL -too late! You already ruined it with your stupid LTPD plan. #keepscore
— Jon Empringham (@92jays93) May 25, 2014
@jasondevos LOL -too late! You already ruined it with your stupid LTPD plan. #keepscore
While Mr. Empringham's tweet wasn't relative to the Vancouver Whitecaps game against the Seattle Sounders, it did highlight another important point: LTPD, the CSA's long-term player development program, is still very misunderstood.
According to his twitter bio, Mr. Empringham is an elementary school teacher who coaches basketball, soccer and track. Given his occupation, he would appear to be the ideal proponent of the principles of LTPD. Yet he seems adamantly opposed to the removal of scores and standings for youth soccer players below the age of 13.
While the removal of scores and standings is just one small component of the changes brought forward by LTPD, the concept still faces considerable pushback. I believe that much of that pushback comes from the general public's misunderstanding of the reason why scores and standings have been removed.
Keeping scores and standings is not inherently bad for children. We haven't been doing young players a disservice all of these years by tracking the results of their games, nor by adding up their wins and losses at the end of their seasons. What we have done, though, is compromise their development by linking their opportunities within the game – perceived or otherwise – to their results on the field.
As it is my home province, I will use Ontario to explain.
Until the introduction of LTPD, the "Pyramid for Play" (the name of the competitive structure for youth soccer in Ontario) was based on promotion and relegation between multiple tiers. The higher the tier, the more "competitive" the level of play. Tier 1, provincial "rep" soccer, was considered the highest level of play, while Tier 7, local "house league" soccer, was the introductory level.
Teams who won their leagues (or finished in the top two or three, in some cases) were promoted to the next highest tier, while teams who finished bottom of their leagues (or finished in the bottom two or three, in some cases) were demoted to the next lowest tier.
This movement of teams every year caused a major problem.
Players as young as 9 were coming under immense pressure to win promotion - primarily from their coaches and parents. In some cases, failure to win promotion would lead to the break up of an entire team, as players would scatter over the off-season in order to tryout for teams that did win promotion.
The concept of promotion and relegation created a false belief amongst coaches and parents that the key to success in the game - the way for kids to "make it" - was to play at the Tier 1 level, which began at the under-14 age category. The years leading up to under-14 were becoming a dogfight, as players jostled to be on a team that was poised to win promotion to Tier 1. It didn't really matter how games were won, or what players were learning, so long as promotion was achieved. The competitive structure itself reinforced this "win at all costs" mentality, and youth soccer in Ontario found itself spiralling into a vicious cycle that was getting worse every year.
In my time working as the Technical Director of the Oakville Soccer Club, I once had to gather the parents of an entire age group's competitive program after a fight had broken out amongst parents on the sidelines of an under-10 boys game.
On another occasion, I had to intervene on the field of a house league game, as the coaches and parents were incensed by a call made by the referee – who was a 16-year-old girl – and were verbally abusing the young lady. Yet another incident saw a 14-year-old referee leave the field in tears after being verbally abused by spectators at a game.
Over time, we have collectively lost sight of the fact that youth soccer is a game that is supposed to be enjoyed by its players, coaches and spectators. Young children shouldn't have to shoulder the burden of "needing to win this game" in order to win promotion or avoid relegation. That pressure is difficult enough for seasoned professional players to handle.
Imagine if children had to finish in the top three in their class in order to graduate to the next grade each year? Our school system would devolve into chaos - we'd have parents submitting homework and assignments on behalf of their children, as they'd be terrified that their kids would miss out on graduation!
Critics have argued that over-competitiveness amongst parents is a societal issue, and that other sports suffer from the same problems. If that is the case though, then surely it is up to our governing bodies to try to better the environments in which our children experience the game of soccer? Surely they should do everything in their power to compensate for our society's failings?
Critics have also suggested that, rather than removing scores and standings, we should just remove promotion and relegation from the system. But doing so is far more difficult than it sounds.
For starters, how does one determine which teams play at which competitive level? Does one make that determination based on population, geographic location, club size or historical club "success" – all the while knowing that any "success" that was previously achieved was done in a flawed system that was systematically abused?
Additionally, there are many people firmly entrenched within the clubs and districts who rule the game in Canada who don't think anything is wrong with how we develop soccer players. Some of those individuals believe this because they do not know what a genuine, player-centric development system should look like, while others believe this because they have a vested financial interest in maintaining the status quo.
It is those individuals who will fight the hardest to maintain the previous competitive structure.
The only way to combat this is through education – by shining a light on what our real problems are. Because the only way we are going to fix our problems is if we first acknowledge what they really are.
It isn't about scores and standings being "bad" for kids. It is about the behaviour that keeping scores and standings brings out in adults.

One of the most visited features in the park, these neat rock formations are named after the ovens used to purify coal into coke. Coke is an almost pure form of carbon, which is used in the production of steel. These squat, oven-looking features are unusual compared to the many needles and spires typically seen in this area.
These formations are the result of erosion of the Wingate sandstone formation that is so prevalent in this area. This rock layer is typically covered by Kayenta and then Navajo sandstone on top of that, all of which are signs of fairly arid, wind-blown conditions that formed dunes, which were then compacted into these rock layers.
Along the run, keep an eye out for larger mammals like deer and bighorn sheep as they've been known to have migration routes through the national monument. From the overlook, visitors can use binoculars to look across the canyon toward Otto's Bathtub.
Short Run: This out-and-back run is around one mile, round trip, from the Upper Monument Canyon/CCC Trail Parking Area. The Coke Ovens can be accessed via the Monument Canyon Trail and the Coke Ovens Trail, which is a very popular route in the shoulder months when park visitation is high.
Family Friendly: A nice stroll from the Upper Monument Canyon/CCC Trail Parking Area to a beautiful overlook of some interesting geologic rock formations.
