Player Fee Schedule
Club Finances
WLUSC is a 501(c) organization, making us a nonprofit organization, exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) as our primary function is to foster amateur sports competition. These type of organizations usually receive exemptions from state and local sales and property taxes, as well. Our club in the past has not done an adequate job of fulfilling our obligations to maintain this status. Our intention and goal is to make sure this processes, systems, and understanding can be easily transitioned to the next elected board. To help make this possible, we are simplifying our club level accounting into three distinct buckets. This process will also help us make the cost, spend, and overall account as transparent as possible.
Special section for "Current High School Aged" players, see bottom of the page.

Bucket 2 | Player Development | $700 per player
The club is standardizing its player development fee across all teams. We understand each team has a coach with varying levels of license, experience, and tenure with the club. Coaches pay ranges from $500 to $1500 a month according to our new fee schedule. Coaches and teams specifically are part of a large group, the club (similar to government... school taxes). The club will be collecting player development fees, accounting for and ear marking for coaches short and long term development. You should expect the club to be using these funds to pay for coaches licensing moving forward, coaches training and development between licenses (this includes getting paid to attend coaching sessions to ensure participation), and finally standard equipment for coaches, and other items...
- This fee is paid directly to WLUSC (through TeamSnap / Paypal). WLUSC will be taking over the payments of the coaches fees, invoicing and payment of uniforms, and other soccer-related items

- Each player will be required to pay a $25 (one-time) equipment fee
- Goals, Nets, Sandbags, Paint, etc
- Coaching fees will be a fixed cost based on license, experience, and tenure with the club

Current High-School Aged Players
This section was established to handle "current high school aged" players. We have stated publicly that our high school based team that were in place prior to this board, would be "grandfather" allowing them to operate "as is". This includes potentially paying a coach a lesser amount then the club is currently willing to offer. The club will simply collect the registration fee for the 2018/2019 season, and require the team to transfer funds to the club treasurer, then the club will pay the coaches. This will allow the club to accurately account for and process the coaches pay. The club will only distribute club funds to teams based on the Bucket 1 | Registration outline.

On that day, there were two workers and some equipment on the site, but there were still piles of gravel and dirt visible and the base level of asphalt had not been laid down. To the eye, the site looks virtually unchanged since a flurry of construction activity late in 2014. While at the track, our photographer was told there were 'no plans to pave this year.'
During the recent SEMA show in Las Vegas, a NASCAR official confirmed that the facility would not be considered for inclusion on its 2016 NASCAR Canada Series schedule (formerly NCATS), given that NASCAR doesn't traditionally give dates to unfinished facilities.
A gentleman who was actively involved in the Cayuga Speedway renovation project from its inception and acted as the media liason, recently contacted Inside Track to say that he's no longer assocated with the facility.
Thank you to Peter Anderson for visiting the track and for sending the comments and photos.

The Mammals to perform at Skinny Pancake tonight
Local residents and students can experience Hanover's burgeoning live music scene at tonight's performance by The Mammals, an American folk group based in Woodstock, New York.
While The Mammals are primarily known for mixing the tones of barnyard fiddle and acoustic guitar, the group also incorporates rock and roll into its sounds, as well as elements of bluegrass and old-time music. Mike Merenda, who performs vocals and co-founded the band, called the group's music a combination of traditional and contemporary styles.
"We've been calling it a rock and roll string band," Merenda said. "The foundation of a string band is generally guitar, banjo and fiddle. We add sort of a rock and roll rhythm section to that, which enables us to jump around from genre to genre, but the through line is American roots music."
The combination of different sounds allows the group to perform traditional instrumental numbers while incorporating high-energy music into its performances. Many of the group's concerts are so spirited, in fact, that they are followed by a square dance.
Co-founder Ruth Ungar, who performs on vocals, fiddle and ukulele, commented on the multifaceted nature of the group's music.
"We have a big dynamic range," Ungar said. "We usually find that people comment later that they really like the harmonies, and they really like the instrumentation, and they really like the fact that sometimes it's super loud and sometimes it's super quiet."
Merenda and Ungar have been married since 2006, although they originally formed The Mammals with folk musician Tao Rodríguez-Seeger in 2001. After cycling through numerous variations in its lineup, The Mammals went on hiatus in 2008. For the next nine years, Merenda and Ungar performed as Mike + Ruthy, a touring folk duo based in Hudson Valley, New York. They produced five albums and toured across the country in addition to raising their two young children.
This year, however, Merenda and Ungar are bringing The Mammals' name back — mainly because of the group's history of speaking out on political issues. In their early years, The Mammals were known for their activist leanings, particularly making their position on the Iraq war very clear by singing many anti-war songs. One song by Merenda, called "The Bush Boys," even caused the group to be censored at many festival venues. In light of recent political events, Merenda and Ungar feel that bringing The Mammals back is the best way to express their feelings on America's current political landscape. Most recently, The Mammals released "Culture Wars," a single that touches on topics such as climate change, electronic voting and the use of genetically modified organisms.
"It seems like the time to be politically outspoken is now more than ever with the current administration," Merenda said. "And political opinions on stage couple really well with high-energy dance music. That's just two things The Mammals are known for. So we're using that formula again to speak our minds but still really present a party atmosphere."
Their ability to create a party atmosphere is a big part of what drew The Skinny Pancake to book The Mammals for the show in Hanover tonight. Michael Cyr, brand manager for The Skinny Pancake, noted the group's appeal for the venue.
"[Merenda and Ungar] are husband and wife, and you can recognize that chemistry on stage," Cyr said. "They're a super high quality act, and they have a lot of energy."
The Skinny Pancake has been bringing in big acts like The Mammals with increasing frequency as of late. Since opening a little under a year ago, the restaurant has vastly expanded Hanover's live music scene.
"There was really no scene for this sort of music a year ago — we're coming on our one-year anniversary in three weeks — and just the fact that we've been able to get here in a year is amazing to look back on," Cyr said. "And we're super grateful that Hanover's been coming out for it."
More and more Dartmouth students have been attending these performances as well, enjoying the opportunity to get off campus and try some local food.
"I really love doing things around Hanover," Katie Bernardez '20 said. "It's always nice to have a chance to get off campus, and it would be cool to hear live music."
Merenda and Ungar believe in the power of live music to brighten people's lives, and they encourage Hanover residents and Dartmouth students alike to come out and hear them play.
"People seem to think that we have a really awesome energy, and people who come to our shows tend to leave with that really great cathartic feeling that comes from seeing live music," Ungar said. "These days it's really easy to stay home and watch Netflix, but if you make that very small extra effort to go out and see live music, you will not be disappointed."
The Mammals' performance will begin at 9 p.m. Tickets range from $10 to $12.

I have worked in the trenches as a business analyst for almost two decades now, and I have learned to look for one essential element in any potential analyst with whom I work: a willingness to ask what others might classify as "dumb" questions. There are a lot of other traits that I look for, such as great communication skills, humility, attention to detail, and the ability to work with anyone—from executives to the individual worker bees. But the self-confidence it takes to ask dumb questions is the game changer for me. It cannot be taught, and it is a badge of honor.
I am proud to say that I have learned my trade through trial and error. When I started in IT, there was really no such thing as a business analyst as we know them today. There was no IIBA. The internet had just been born and the start-up world was dawning. It was a brand new concept to trace business needs to IT and software. Before we knew it, there were business analysis standards and even certifications. Over time, I often found myself running into business analysts who lived in fear of looking like they did not "know their stuff" in front of their business teams.
Read More: Strategy Execution & Change Management
This often resulted in repeated conversations that never really got to the heart of business problems, an unsatisfied business team, and a very stressed analyst.
A great business analyst is not afraid to drill down to the core of an issue, and that inevitably means being okay with asking fundamental questions. I call them "Captain Obvious" moments. It helps level-set the business team with a common understanding, but it also makes them question why they do things in a certain way. Questions like, "why do you do it that way?" or "what does that mean?" are the ones that everyone is probably quietly asking themselves, but may be afraid to say aloud. You don't have to be asking "why" at every juncture, but it is important to ask why at the right moments. More often than not, the business team is relieved you asked because they have been asking themselves the same things.
When you ask "dumb" questions, you in fact ground yourself as a credible resource with your business and development teams. If the current state analysis and business requirements are incomplete, it causes mass confusion for a software development team. They start asking about the very things that the business analyst should have asked… and herein lie the teachable moments. When you are brazen enough to ask basic questions, the teams will come to rely on you, rather than potentially dismiss your efforts. People will know that if they assign you to something, you'll do the due diligence to get to the root of a problem. To be a great business analyst, you need to be willing to leave your comfort zone and take leaps.
We are taught at a young age that there is no such thing as a "dumb" question, and I've found this to be wholeheartedly true as I've advanced in my career. In examining a process or system, every question is valid. The cost of not asking can be devastating to your project and to your reputation as an analyst.

Featured Photo: Supporting small business and job creation in the West Bank
In the West Bank city of Bethlehem, tourism is a key industry and a key employer. But operating even a small souvenir shop requires access to credit to purchase inventory.
Afram Kando operates Rimon Kando & Sons, a family-owned souvenir shop, which has been able to expand with the help of loans backed by the OPIC-supported Middle East Investment Initiative (MEII).
While small businesses comprise the vast majority of businesses in the West Bank, they have long struggled to access financing because banks demanded collateral in exchange for credit. Businesses in the tourism sector are particularly challenged to obtain loans due to the cyclical nature of their operations. The MEII model has encouraged local banks to provide small business loans based on cash flow, rather than collateral, which has made it easier for businesses like Rimon Kando & Sons to borrow. Because MEII also requires rigorous reporting and encourages banks to provide technical support along with financing, it has helped small businesses develop the skills to expand and hire more workers.
With the support of financing, the Rimon Kando business has expanded from a staff of three family members to seven employees, and has been able to increase its revenue and wages.
The business is one of many that have benefited from OPIC's support of the Middle East Investment Initiative. To date, OPIC's loan guaranties to two MEII loan guaranty facilities have supported more than 1100 small and medium enterprises in sectors from agriculture to manufacturing to retail. These loans, to small businesses that would not otherwise have been able to obtain financing, have supported 17,000 jobs, many that are employing women.

Posted on 08/18/2015 10:55:44 PM PDT by SunkenCiv
Explanation: In cosmic brush strokes of glowing hydrogen gas, this beautiful skyscape unfolds across the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy and the center of the northern constellation Cygnus the Swan. The featured image spans about six degrees. Bright supergiant star Gamma Cygni (Sadr) to the upper left of the image center lies in the foreground of the complex gas and dust clouds and crowded star fields. Left of Gamma Cygni, shaped like two luminous wings divided by a long dark dust lane is IC 1318, whose popular name is understandably the Butterfly Nebula. The more compact, bright nebula at the lower right is NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula. Some distance estimates for Gamma Cygni place it at around 750 light-years while estimates for IC 1318 and NGC 6888 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years.

The most effective ad isn't about the company placing it – It's actually about the person reading it. People read copy which promises to deliver something that they want or need. So the best ad positions a customer-focused value-proposition – the want or need it promises to fulfill – prominently and succinctly enough to be absorbed at a glance.
That value proposition is then "anchored" to your brand. The "particulars" including the features of a product, the list of services offered or the credentials of the company are provided only "in support of" the value proposition, and must not be allowed to compromise its impact. Most people have no problem agreeing with this simple principle. We can observe the truth of it by noting our own consumer behavior. And yet when it comes time to create an ad, many people have terrific difficulty observing it in practice. Crowding excessive bullet-point copy, multiple 3rd-party logos (professional-affiliations, co-op suppliers and memberships) with cliché, say-nothing "slogans" into a small display ad nearly guarantees that the value proposition you're trying to substantiate will be obscured entirely!
The most powerful tool we can bring to the effort of writing effective ad-copy is empathy. Empathizing with an audience of people who don't yet have any personal experience with you or your company but DO have a realized or unrealized need for your offering will focus your message on that which serves to advance your value proposition – and keep it centered on the prospective customer's needs. Extraneous material such as family photos, your hobbies and interests, self-focused slogans, acronym-infested jargon with which your audience is unfamiliar are all distractions from your value proposition.
In today's Facebook culture of narcissism, excessive self-disclosure can find its way into our print-ads under the ostensible guise of "personalizing" our message. It's a costly error. Extraneous material distracts – and distractions kill impact! But just as distracting are multiple logos depicting professional affiliations, memberships or brands represented. (It's terrific to get half an ad paid for by co-op, but not if you loose the benefit of the half you're paying for!) Insure that co-op or other logos don't undermine the strength of your own message. Unless they are central to the customer-focused value proposition, they probably do more to distract than to support your effort.
In the 23 years I've been running ads for small businesses I've been obliged to run ads containing all of these unfortunate distractions, many of which have omitted a customer-focused value proposition altogether! In nearly all of these cases, the ad under-performs and is therefore not renewed. So you see, I have a genuine, self-serving interest in helping my advertisers create more effective ad pieces!
Here's a strategy for creating more effective ads: Picture a member of the audience for this ad sitting in front of you. Frame up his need or want in a way that conveys your full appreciation of what it feels like to have that need or want. (Have you noticed that when you feel a person fully understands a problem you're facing, you are suddenly more inclined to trust that person to help you with it?) Then tell him in as few words as possible that you can help him meet his need or want. Notice, that when you frame this up as a human interaction, you instinctively follow certain "rules:" You refrain from screaming. You likely refrain from being self-centered in your focus. You convey concern for and understanding of this person's need. Naturally, you do that first. Then you present your value proposition in a professional manner – one that builds confidence.
All this is quite natural, isn't it? It should be. Humans are hard-wired to interact appropriately with each other most of the time. So why loose the benefit of eons of instinct when creating something for print? When we approach our print-ads with this same human, customer-focused tone, we create more effective ads. The key is to keep the scope of your print-media display-ad to its primary purpose: To associate a strong, customer-focused value proposition to your brand.

For those of you that already know about the Big Android BBQ, you're probably all ready to go with tickets already ordered and are eagerly awaiting the date to approach. We don't blame you as it always sounds like a great time with lots of fun involved. For anyone else that isn't quite sure what the event is about or has the knowledge on what the event is and provides but doesn't quite yet have tickets, you're in the right place as we'll be going over what to expect at this year's Big Android BBQ plus, give you a link to purchase tickets at a 20% discount which we'll get into later.
First let's get into a little bit of the background on the BABBQ and how it began. It started back in 2009 in a backyard and was a way to bring together developers and Android enthusiasts to share in their appreciation for the platform, as well as talk about upcoming new stuff and even share ideas. The initial goal was to get the online community of these developers and enthusiasts together in real life and enjoy some really great BBQ in a place where BBQ comes as a second nature, Texas. As the event grew with each passing year, it became more than just a gathering of shared Android OS enthusiasm. There will be plenty of things to learn at this year's event just like there is every year, but there will also be plenty of fun. This will be BABBQ's fifth anniversary so there's bound to be tons of exciting things happening. Of course it is a BBQ, so there will be plenty of good old fashioned Texas BBQ to eat too. There will be a big handful of speakers this year, ranging from developers, software designers, people that create apps for Google Glass, people in hardware, and even theming. Something that I love to do with my Android devices. With such a varied range of speakers, it shouldn't surprise that the session topics will cover information on Android development, theming, Google Glass, figurine customization, smartwatches, and more.
The speakers include Daniel Ward who is a senior software engineer who teaches mobile development at the University of New Orleans, Steve Kondik and Roman Birg from Cyanogen Inc., Matt Runo who is a developer at Zappos and will be covering developing apps for the Amazon Kindle, Linton Ye from Jimu Labs who will be covering on designing and developing for Android apps, Cecilia Abadie from 33 Labs who will be covering building your first Android Wear tutorial, Andrew Dyer from Chai One who will be covering automated testing for modern Android apps, Jon Bauerle from Downbeat Technical Services who will be covering five more of his own rules for Android support, Mark Sheel from Digital Construction who will be covering Pro Android testing, Dan Lew from Fog Creek Software, Joshua Brown who is currently a key member of the Android team at Pandora, Matt Abdou from WinkLogic, Stacy Wylie from Oceus Networks, Jay Freeman from Cydia Substrate and Cycript, Nikhil Kaul from Smartbear, Michael Leahy from TyphonRT, Nathan Grebowiec from Unstable Apps, Joey Grover from Livio, and Joseph Cohen from kiddoEMR. That's a lot of speakers, so you can bet there will be a lot of stuff to learn as these people will be there to educate the attendees on a broad range of topics.
Now for the tickets. As we stated before you'll still be able to get tickets to the event, and we have the link for you right here where you can grab them with our 20% discount. Ticket packages start from General Admission which includes access to a myriad of sessions, open access to the Expo Hall where some hands on demonstrations will be happening, and access to the welcome pool party and after party where there will be all you can eat BBQ, naturally. Next up is the Ice Cream Sandwich ticket package, which includes all of the previous stuff plus a single reserved seat at the keynote, plus an expedited registration process when you arrive, plus an event shot glass with design of the ICS package etched on the side. Next is the Jelly Bean package, which includes everything prior, plus a private lunch event for both days of the event where event staff and other VIPs will be located, capable of eating in a private relaxed setting. Next up is the Kit Kat package, sadly this one sold out so we won't be covering what you get with that one, although you can still check it out on the ticket page if you'd like. Lastly there is the BBQ[X] package, which gets you everything from all previous packages, plus a personal chauffeur(BABBQ founder Aaron Kasten)who will pick you up at the airport wearing a monocle and top hat, holding a tablet displaying your name so you can pick him out from the all other monocle and top hats hanging around. You also get booked a first class flight, (continental United States only)a room in the Hyatt Hotel, a chauffeured trip to your choice of drive thru restaurant before being taken to the hotel, which will have a welcome package waiting for you in the room, and you get some pretty awesome golf cart service between the event and the hotel and plenty of other exclusives.
To touch point on the last couple of things, the Big Android BBQ isn't just about fun and education about all things Android, and of course BBQ. It's also about giving back, something that has become a tradition of the event. What we mean by this is that BABBQ works with a charity or cause each year to help donate, and this year they're working with an organization they have worked with before called the Rapha House which works to help rescue women from the chains of slavery, sex trafficking, and exploitation. There will also be a developer contest this year, where the goal is to create a Big Android BBQ themed game for the event. development started August 18th so if you're just now reading this you might be a little behind, but you still have time as entries can be submitted through September 19th. From Sep. 20th through the 30th, judges will decide the winners, and sometime on or before Oct 3rd the winners of the Grand Prize as well as runners up will be announced. If you're interested in participating in that there isn't a lot of time left, so we'd recommend heading to the contest page for BABBQ and reading the guidelines and judging criteria. The prizes are tickets to the event with 1st prize(grand prize) being one of the sold out kit kat package tickets, there will be two consolations prizes which are Jelly Bean package tickets, and original entries all receive a General Admission ticket. If you're interested in going to the event you can grab your tickets here from this link, which contains the 20% off discount code.

The best way to determine how deeply someone understands a political issue is to push them outside their talking points. Most people who claim to be politically active have a set of standard talking points to which they cling. This characteristic is not limited to Democrats. People don't like to know more than they have to. This mentality, however, leads to ignorance.
Case in point: Unemployment. The unemployment rate currently sits at 5.1 percent, which is considered pretty fantastic by anyone's measure. That's the best unemployment number since May, 2008. The Obama administration has taken credit for this alleged decline in unemployment. I say "alleged" because once you dig a bit deeper, you find out pretty quickly just how unreliable this frequently touted number is.
In October of 2009—during the height of the recession—the unemployment rate was 10%. Given this, one could reasonably argue that unemployment has been cut in half under Obama. Ask any one of your liberal friends about unemployment, and they will likely brag about Obama's recovery. But have we really recovered?
There's a second set of numbers called the "civilian employment-population ratio" (CEPR) that more accurately measures the employment situation in the United States.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) defines the civilian employment-population ratio as:
"The proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population aged 16 years and over that is employed."
This number crashed when the economy crashed in 2008. In October, 2009, the CEPR was 58.5, down from a pre-recession high of 63. Now that the unemployment number has been cut in half, shouldn't the CEPR have followed suit? Nope. The CEPR for September was 59.2.
This is because the unemployment number we're all used to is deeply flawed. Once someone gives up looking for work entirely, they are no longer counted as "unemployed." As more and more people give up looking for work, the unemployment rate actually goes down. Insanity.
Breitbart reports:
"…a record 94,610,000 people (ages 16 and over) were not in the labor force in September. In other words, they were neither employed nor had made specific efforts to find work in the prior four weeks."
The 5.1% unemployment rate is a farce. We haven't recovered as much as we believe. Next time your liberal friend or family member tries to sell you the 5.1% unemployment rate, ask them about the civilian employment-population ratio. It's a simple thing, but because it's off-script, their talking points won't work. Then watch them melt under the spotlight.
Numbers don't always tell the whole truth.

A Kid Friendly & Kid Sensitive Office
Habits such as teeth brushing and finger sucking are of primary concern to us, because they can seriously affect children's smile development – in their teeth, gums, and even jaw growth.

Our friendly and gentle manner will help your child (and you) feel at ease in our care. Call today to schedule a convenient appointment!

Create A "No Matter What" Attitude
Guest Contributor: Rob Chvatal
At the end of the day, achieving outstanding safety performance requires employees who are willing to do the "right thing". The "right thing" could look like: taking the time to get the proper tool, wearing those uncomfortable goggles, asking for help or helping others we don't get along with, or taking the time to plan or explain something. Unfortunately, this is not always the way we choose to do things.
In my training, I talk about the attitudes and beliefs required to perform safely. Recently, it seems that more and more employees are telling me that they understand the need for a positive attitude about doing the right thing. They also admit that at times there are barriers to doing what they know they "should" do. Barriers, or barrier thinking, like "I am in a hurry", "it's the way we have always done it", "he wouldn't help me", etc., etc.
Recently, I had an employee say that he felt he needed to help others be safe NO MATTER WHAT. He worked among a very diverse workforce with a lot of history together, and much of it not very constructive. There were many individuals and groups that did not get along. It was an atmosphere where shortcuts and animosity were common. And now here is this employee standing up in class and expressed that there is way too much at stake not to do the right thing when it came to safety. Everyone in the room knew what the right thing was – and he was challenging himself and others to do it!
"Someone asks for help, I help them – no matter what. I need a tool that is at the other side of the plant, I go get it – no matter what. I am not exactly clear how to do a task safely, I ask for guidance from someone else – no matter what. I just experienced a severe near miss, I share the situation with others so we can all learn from it – no matter what. Regardless of who is involved, what time of day it is, the amount of extra work involved, what supervisor asked me to do it, etc. – I need to do it safety NO MATTER WHAT.
It's not easy to perform in a no matter what manner, so much is in the way just urging us to take the quicker, easier, more comfortable route. But I believe if we started to make no matter what our mantra, at work and at home, significant and sustainable safety performance would be made.
Moment to moment safety performance is rooted in our attitude – no matter what is an important habitual thought pattern to engrain into our way of thinking. Do you have it? How can you drive it into you and others?

As we ramp up for our move to a new server and site later this month, I am keeping the current forum up, but none of the posts from December will make the trip. The new forum will be full of hand-picked posts from this one without a lot of the fluff.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Exactly, conditioning should mimic the sport you are playing. High intensity football drills with a high speed practice is all we ever needed. We ran hurry up 100% of the time and the other teams were always gassed long before we were even though I know many of them ran sprints every day.
When I coach football, I don't use either of those.There's always somebody who has a whistle. People seem to like buying those.
This past season we had 14 coaches on staff (across all 3 HS levels - Varsity, JV, and Frosh). I think the only guy who had a whistle was my JV O-line coach. And even with him, I think he only had his because one day the Varsity HC asked if anyone had a whistle and he was the only one who volunteered that he had one, so all season long, whenever we needed a whistle, the coaches all looked to him. I had a whistle in my bag, but I never pulled it out all season.
I might be at an advantage too. It's been so long since I played HS ball, I can't even tell you what are practices were like. So most of what I learned was definitely from being on here.
When I remember to bring my whistle, I never start a drill with a whistle, only to end a drill. That's because I want them to start on the sound and keep going until they hear the whistle.
I never start a drill with a whistle, only to end a drill.
Vince, no doubt I've learned a lot here. I've also learned from attending or teaching clinics, visiting practices, studying film, etc. But most of all, I've learned from doing. Coaching the game and finding what worked for us and what didn't work and trying to apply that edge immediately, not somewhere down the line. So while this site is helpful, I can't say that "most" of what I learned came from here. Most of what I've learned has come from actually coaching, not reading a website. Coaches have to go out into the field, find their coaching voice (i.e., through trial and error, learn what works and doesn't work for them), put their hands on bodies and just coach. That's still the best way to learn. Everything else just augments the on-the-field process.--Dave
There's always somebody who has a whistle. People seem to like buying those.
....or make a "tweet" sound.
I tried not to bring a whistle on game day, because of my fear I'd whistle during warmups and interfere w a game in progress. Usually warmups are close enough to the game field -- or somebody's game-or-something field -- that I wouldn't trust the sound not to be confusing. I had to keep reminding them during split-field scrimmages to not have the offenses starting in the middle, but instead from either end, for that reason.
I thought you were mocking me. Im a whistle guy as Lar can attest. Im not sure how anyone can function without one.

"US defence contractor, 59, 'gave classified information to 27-year-old Chinese lover in honeytrap'" "Sex Succeeds In Securing Secrets"
"How life of spy Ben Zygier unravelled" I think this story was actually written by the Mossad (for example, how could you possibly determine conclusively that the Milan company was not a Mossad front?). It neatly ties up two Mossad problems simultaneously, the Zygier death and its effect on recruitment, and the remarkable recent success of Lebanese officials in winding up Israeli spy networks. The idea that Zygier was out in the cold, and tried to double a Hezbollah agent in order to get back into the Mossad, sounds exactly like a discarded script from the cartoonish American television series 'Burn Notice'.
"Kaboom" The clean-up crew tries to deal with the problem of the discovery of what looks like an operation by the 1% to use extreme violence to ruin the Occupy Movement.

"The commentary is killing the conversation." The Gun Show (Can we talk about this?) is a thoughtful one-man play excavating the playwright's own complicated relationship to gun culture. While proponents on both sides talk past each other, making it seem like there is no one with conflicting feelings on the subject, The Gun Show (Can we talk about this?) explores the many nuanced considerations in that narrative dominated by political sound bytes and simple solutions.
Playwright E.M. Lewis shares five personal stories about her own varied experiences with guns, told by a single actor; Andrew William Smith returns to tackle the role after his previous work at Quantum in The Hard Problem and The River. Directed by Sheila McKenna, a favorite at Quantum who last directed J.T. Rogers' Madagascar, The Gun Show bravely asks if we can really talk about this.
The Gun Show (Can we talk about this) runs approximately 60 minutes with no intermission. Every performance will be followed by a 15-minute facilitated conversation.

Viper Networks (PINK:VPER) today announced they have agreed to a 30% stake in Aequitas Energy. This comes after this past weekend's announcement that both Viper Networks and Aequitas Energy were working out the final agreement. Terms of the deal include a $1 million investment into Aequitas Energy this year. A $500,000 payment is expected within the next 20 days while the other $500,000 payment is expected no later than October 31st, 2012.
VPER's investment assures a 30% stake in the energy reseller company Aequitas Energy. It also aligns them for an even larger investment opportunity and ownership share in 2013 if Viper Networks goes that route. Also, Viper Networks receives one seat at the board of directors of Aequitas Energy along with rights for even additional seats based on ownership percentages of other owner representation. One additional aspect of the deal allows the President of Viper Networks to work closely with Aequitas Energy's management with focus on their IT department.
Viper Networks is a provider of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication products and services. The company offers an array of services and products for residential and small business uses. They are located in Troy, Michigan and trade on the Pinksheets under the symbol VPER. The company competes with Vocaltec (NASDAQ:CALL), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), Net2Phone, AT&T (NYSE:T), Sprint (NYSE:S), MCI WorldCom (NYSE:MCI) and Qwest Communications International (NYSE:CTQ)
Aequitas Energy is a growing energy reseller in the Connecticut and Massachusetts areas. They have well-established ties to the industrial sector and commercial businesses throughout the northeast. Aequitas Energy provides customers sources of energy at a lower rate than their current utility by seeking out other suppliers.
