My apologies to our designated Mets blogger Eddie D'Anna. And if you're reading this, I also ask you to check out Eddie's "Ya Gotta Believe" blog on this same site. But for anyone who bleeds Blue Orange, there was really only sporting event that mattered on Sunday, only one thing worth blogging about. Only one thing on our minds. So to post about anything else but Sunday's Mets-Marlins game would be a waste of time for both me and you, the reader.
I've calmed down a little bit in the hours since Ryan Church's bid for a game-tying homer settled into the glove of Florida centerfielder Cameron Maybin at 5:05 p.m., putting the capper to a second straight September collapse by the Mets. The postgame celebration of Shea Stadium helped ease the pain, as the sight of some of the heroes of my past walked onto the Flushing field for the final time. It was sad and joyous at the same time -- exactly what it's been like rooting for the Mets for the past 39 years, when I began this love-hate relationship as a kindergartner rushing home with my mom from PS 38 to catch those afternoon World Series games in 1969.

A chance to take a break this weekend, as I took a Friday off during the high school football season, probably my first in 9+ years from broadcasting or taking photos....kind of strange. It was just an opportunity to take a break, and today head down to Central Michigan for the Chippewa's game vs Buffalo with the whole family, to watch the a Chips game for the first time in 22-years, since I graduated from Central. Looking forward to it. I know last time I went through campus, it was so different than when I was at school. Alot more business' and new buildings on the campus.

Next week in the photo world, I will catch the Gaylord Blue Devils girl swin team vs. Alpena on Tuesday night, some flag football on Wednesday, although it will be shootin gone individual and possibly the Cowboys in the 1st-3rd, who I have not photographed yet, and possibly check out the 5th 6th grade teams of Gaylord vs Ogemaw, which is there last home game. Saturday could take me to Grayling for a day of Redskin's football, which starts at 10am and runs until about 8pm.....a long.....long........day. All of this, and maybe throw in a Friday night high school game.......WOW....this could be a tough week.

The Delaware Townships Food Panty is currently low on everything so the football league has decided to sponsor a food drive to help restock the Food Pantry. The Food Drive will begin with the games on Saturday, October 4th, thru the games on October 7, 8 and 9 and end with the games on Saturday, October 11th. A Todays Bedroom One truck will be parked next to the Red Barn for donations.  The Food Pantry accepts 1) all non-perishable food items, 2) personal hygiene items and 3) household supplies. If you donate something they cannot use (which is rare), that is ok as they will donate it to another charity.  Please encourage your football players and cheerleaders to give back to the community and help with this important project. Team Parents are encouraged to organize their teams donations. We are asking for 100% participation from all flag, tackle and cheer squads!!

I have been receiving many emails about youth football defenses.  And many of the emails ask about specific weaknesses of the 6-2 and 7 Diamond Defenses.  Like most things in life, one size does not fit all. 
Every defense has a chink in its armour.  If the offense finds this weakness then you must adjust and do it quickly.  I learned my lesson last year against a really good Highlands Ranch Colorado team.  They ran to the C gap just about every play and beat us by one TD.  If I could have adjusted my defense, we would have won that game easily. 
So this year, I run the 6-2 Wide and 6-2 Tight Defenses as my base defenses.  If I have a team that runs wide and does not have a good power game, I start with the 6-2 Wide.  If the team has a good power game up the middle I run the 6-2 Tight with my Big D-Tackles over the B gaps.  From these two base defenses I have 20 stunts, blitzes and pass coverage calls.  I can attack just about any gap with these calls to adjust for my defensive weakness on a specific play. 
We beat a team the other day, and we then saw the coach scouting another game that we were also scouting.  We heard him say to another coaching staff that we played sandlot defense.  He commented that we were all over the field, and they did not know whom to block.  We shut his team down in the second half and they did not score.  I guess this is sand lot football.  Or better yet, smart football. 
Out of the two base defenses, I can adjust into multiple defenses.  And whats amazing is that my 5th grade players can make these adjustments and remember all the hand signals.  Expect more and you will see the benefits.
So coaches, dont settle on one defense.  You dont run just one play on offense.  Find one or two good base defensive fronts and develop stunts and blitzes to overcome your potential weaknesses.
Good luck this season.  Play for Fun and Winning is Funner.

Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin warned against the move.
Of course, FEMA has not had to respond to an act of terrorism since then (unless you count the anthrax attacks in 2002). FEMA's primary mission is still in the realm of natural disaster remediation rather than responses to terrorism.
Somewhere along the way, Allbaugh hired his old college buddy Mike "heckuva job" Brown, who was FEMA head when Katrina hit. There is evidence that Brown was more interested in his wardrobe and how much time he would have for dinner than actually responding to the disaster. There was plenty of time to prepare for the storm, but Brownie (who had zero emergency management experience) did nothing. As a result, the people in New Orleans were stranded in a football stadium and conference center for days without food, water, or sanitation.
Brown got canned and Congress started an investigation. Initially, there was a push to restore FEMA to its former status it enjoyed as an independent agency. This effort was led by Senators Hillary Clinton, Daniel Akaka, Barbara Boxer, Trent Lott, and Rep. Tom Davis a Republican from Virginia. After a lack of response by FEMA to some ice storms in Oklahoma in January, 2007 the very Republican delegation from that state called for FEMA to regain its independent status as well. This includes Coburn and Inhofe.
As it stands, FEMA is still a part of DHS, but has more authority and flexibility. This was a result of a compromise while a funding bill was making its way through the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The committee is chaired by Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins is the ranking Republican.
While it is premature to assume that the FEMA failures in Texas are a result of the agency's place within DHS, the empirical evidence is clear. FEMA functioned best as an independent agency headed by an experienced emergency manager.
This is not simply an esoteric argument meant for a few high-ranking Senators and executives. This is an issue of lives, homes and livelihoods. People died in New Orleans because of bureaucratic delays. The same thing might be true in the aftermath of Ike, but it is a little too early to say that for certain.
So if you made it this far, thanks. Now I am hoping for help from my fellow Kosacks. I am writing a paper on this topic for a class I am taking in pursuit of my masters degree. Does any one out there know of any Senators or Representatives who are actively pushing for FEMA's independence? I can say that three bills calling for this have died in committee. Does any one know if there has been any other movement on this? Has Obama said anything about it? What about the Senators and Representatives in Texas?
Thanks and the gods bless Texas.

Formerly known as the Lukuang football team or Taiwan Army football team, the NTSC football team belonged to the Republic of China Army and competed in the Chinese Taipei National Football League.

Since the Republic of China has the policy of conscription for all male citizens, qualified footballers could choose to join the Lukuang football team instead of the regular militia service after passing the tryouts. It helped the players to keep their form and provided additional selection and management to the Chinese Taipei national football team. As a result, most national team members have played for Lukuang.

In 2000, Lukuang quit the league due to military reform, but returned in 2003 under the new name of Taiwan National Sports Training Center football team and are affiliated with Taiwan's .

This Week in Practice
As we head into the meat of our schedule our practice plans vary just a bit. Like you all, we are losing daylight and it’s getting dark here by 7:45, so our practices have been shortened to 1:45. While our competition nearly always practice more than we do, the practice methodology, priorities and pace we utilize more than make up for the differences in practice time.
While we continue to hone the basics, this is the time of the year we start adding a few techniques to those groups that have a strong grasp on the fundamentals we have taught to date. As mentioned previously we are also doing a lot of cross training now.
Monday we worked both offense and defense but the emphasis was on defense. The defensive backs again worked a bunch on reading their receivers then responding with their correct responsibility and technique. We worked extensively at beating the stalk block and open field tackling. The defensive tackles and bearcrawlers went though their normal progressions and the linebackers worked shedding and open field tackling technique. We did about 10 minutes of very intense 3 level Oklahoma drills (search the blog here for that term the drill is in there) for each team. We also did 10 minutes of “Compete”, again those drills are here in the blog.
We added in a new series of football plays, one that our oldest players have been running, but that now seem to make sense for where our age 7-9 and age 10-11 kids are at.  I used my kids as a template to demo these football plays to the younger coaches and players. Since we use the very same blocking rules and tags, the linemen had to learn nothing, while the backs had to get down a very simple backfield action to make this series of football plays work.
Defensively we worked just 15 minutes of team defensive recognition on air and finished up with about 20 minutes of offensive team on air with no helmets on.
Thursday again we worked both sides of the ball and special teams as well. Individuals for the line was back to the basics, wedge, crab blocking and pass blocking mirror drills.
For the backs we worked stalk blocking with lots of mirror drills and about 10 minutes of live, working in our defensive backs into pass recognition. We have also had a problem especially at the youngest age levels of players getting caught from behind. While we realize we don’t have the fastest kids and are going to often get caught from behind, we have kids with 15 yard leads that are getting walked down from beind like they are standing still.  To improve their concentration and acceleration I designed a drill we call “Pylon” which I will detail in a later post.
We did 10 minutes of “Compete” on offense. On defense we are now putting all the remaining players on defense to defend against the first team offense. To make it even more interesting we are telling everyone the play, both the offense and defense. First of all this allows us to run many more plays, about 1 play every 15 seconds and secondly it makes the offense work that much harder and gives the scouts a chance to make plays. I got this approach from a High School coach and it has made this period much more competitive.
We did about 15 minutes of team defense on air and added a few stunts and alignment adjustments to take advantage of our strengths and hide our weaknesses a bit. We closed with about 30 minutes of special teams work. Our special teams have been outstanding so far. While my age 12-13 team has only punted 1 time in 5 games due to the fact we have been moving the ball very well, we may have the best punting team in the league. My age 10-11 team PAT kicker is 8-10 on PAT kicks ( we let other kids kick when we are way up) and our youngest team has been lights out as well.

Los Angeles Sports Fitness, October 2007
At the gym this week, I watched a seventh grader work with a personal shooting coach for an hour. After his lesson, his mother spoke to another coach and had the coach watch her son and offer pointers. Then, the child shot for another hour as his mother watched and critiqued every shot based on the coach’s advice. After the child had shot for two-and-a-half hours, he started to whine. He wanted to go home. His mother told him to make 20 free throws in a row. Eventually, a team had practice and kicked him off the court.

When I was young, I imagine there were days when I shot by myself for two hours. I know I set goals like making 20 shots in a row before going inside. However, I made the decisions. I initiated the practice, I set my own goals, I decided when to finish. My individual practice was child-initiated and based on my motivations. I practiced because I enjoyed shooting.

The mother initiated the kid’s practice, setting goals, hiring trainers and talking to coaches. The kid did not want to continue. He was not enjoying the activity. His body slumped after every missed shot that prolonged his practice, he whined and he threw the ball. Maybe the mother wanted to teach her son a lesson about practice habits, work ethic or discipline. However, I saw a kid starting to hate basketball.

In the United States, we face an obesity epidemic. Kids are fat. However, we also have turned childhood sports into a scholarship chase. I believe the obesity issues stem from the same misguided philosophy which turned youth sports into the pursuit of the ephemeral dream, rather than a time for fun, activity, learning and exploration.

Parents rush their kids into competitive athletics because they do not want their son or daughter to fall behind. I once received a call from the mother of a six-year-old who wanted individual basketball training for her son before she put him into a league because she wanted him to be prepared and successful.

These efforts are misguided. K. Anders Ericsson, author of The Road to Excellence, believes “when it comes to choosing a life path, you should do what you love because if you don’t love it, you are unlikely to work hard enough to get very good.”

Ericsson believes a person needs hours of deliberate practice to become an expert performer. In a sense, the mother provided an environment for deliberate practice. This is the approach parents take. They know their child needs to practice and work hard to be successful, so they start the child down this path at earlier and earlier ages, like the mother of the six-year-old. However, the parents miss the first requirement: kids must love what they are doing. Pushing a child into an activity too hard and too soon often has the opposite effect, turning the child against the activity. In these instances, many rebel against their parents or coaches and stop playing sports altogether.

When a child quits sports at an early age, he is less likely to resume these activities later. Kids love to learn and explore. They do not compare themselves to others. They enjoy playing and learning. However, as we age, we become more self-conscious and more aware of others. A teenager is unlikely to try a new sport because he does not want to fail. People associate a failure in an activity with a character flaw and worry others might like them less just because they cannot shoot a basketball or catch a football. While it is easy to dismiss these feelings, how many adults actively pursue activities in which they are not very good or have never tried? Now, imagine doing so during adolescence. No wonder P.E. is the worst class of the day for many kids.

Once upon a time, kids played hopscotch at recess and jumped off swings at the highest peak. They jumped over (or into) puddles and skipped just for fun. Jumping rope was a game kids played to song.

Now, as recess disappears and the pursuit of a scholarship grips parents as soon as their young prodigy takes his first steps, personal trainers painstakingly count the number of foot touches in a plyometric workout to prevent overtraining and burnout. Depth jumps are prohibited for all but the most advanced kids. The play activities of past generations are now carefully regimented training activities used to prepare young athletes for sporting success.

In The Art of Learning, Josh Waitzkin, a world champion in chess and Judo, writes: “the most important factor in these first few months of study was that Bruce [his first chess coach] nurtured my love for chess, and he never let technical material smother my innate feelings for the game.” Eventually, Waitzkin moved to more intense levels of training and instruction. However, this occurred after he developed a passion for chess and a desire to pursue the sport.

In the gym, the mother failed to nurture her son’s love for basketball. While her efforts stemmed from a good place, rather than help her son improve, she hindered his development. As we change physical activity from fun games to training activities, we lose kids who are uninterested in or psychologically unprepared for the competitive nature of youth athletics.

The media points to the dedication of Tiger Woods at an early age to illustrate successful athletic development. However, how many young prodigies never make it? These are the stories left untold. However, parents and coaches latch onto the Tiger Woods’ story. Nobody learns from Todd Marinovich or Jennifer Capriati or the dozens of others who quit sports altogether before they reached any level of noteworthiness. Rather than looking at Woods as the rule, what if he is the exception? What if he developed in spite of the pushing, not because of it? What if Woods, like Waitkin, developed the passion for the game first and then engaged in the deliberate practice which elevated him into the world’s greatest golfer? The media only captures part of the story; maybe the real story is the fun games that he played with his father when he was young which generated his intense interest in golf.

Youth sports are not the pre-minor leagues. Kids are not miniature professionals. Whether the goal is to develop your child into an All-American or just to keep your child active, the method is the same: youth sports should be fun, child-centered, exploratory and learning-oriented, not a competitive cauldron or pre-professional training.

The Spanish gambling market is said to become worth around 39 billion euros by the year 2010, while the retail betting market is expected to grow to around 4.5 billion euros, more than 750% of its current size.
The main growth driver is said to be the interactive gambling market, which is expected to increase to around 4.2 billion euros by the end of year 2010, 36% more than its current level.
With the recent lowering of restrictions within many autonomous regions in Spain and the working toward a liberalisation of the market, the interactive gambling sector is set to benefit far more than the retail betting sector.
Perhaps this is why companies like William Hill, Ladbrokes and other big players are already poised for expansion into Spain with companies like St Minver who operate Juega Poker Ya already having done so, and have seen major growth in registrations to their online game sites. Many international companies, like William Hill already have joint venture agreements in place and are poised to take advantage of the retail betting market in Spain.
The online betting market in Spain is currently dominated by men, and the same can be said for subscribers to other online gambling sites. 70% of online poker players are men wishing to emulate the great Spanish poker champion, Carlos Mortenson, World Poker Champion just 4 years ago.
However, women are increasing their ventures into the online world with internet behavioural patterns of women changing dramatically over the last two years. Women are now dominating many site visits in certain areas such as health and family or research sites, and search patterns and page views in general for women are up on sites which were never previously expected. Women are also starting to increase their interest and visits to gambling and gaming sites, where female casual gamers far outweigh those of men.
Men enjoy the internet for the experience in technology and adventures it offers, but women are likely to use it more for the social and communicative elements.
One recent survey showed that younger women were more likely to go online than younger men some 86% of women between the ages of 18-29 go online compared to 80% of men in the same age range. Unmarried men are more likely to go online than unmarried women, while 75% of married women use the internet as opposed to 70% of men.
Men are likely to have higher speed internet connections at home, with nearly 60% of men having faster bandwidth connections. However, the growth rate for women s participating in online activities is much faster than that of men, and women are likely to use the internet more for sending emails, researching health and family issues, law, audio clips and maps.
While men use the internet more for recreational purposes, such as fantasy football leagues and hobbies, women are far more likely to play casual games than men. Women also use the internet and email more for expanding their relationships with friends and colleagues. They are also dominating online transactions in e-commerce sites and other paid subscription services.
Bingo and slot machine gaming are other areas where growth in female subscriptions outpace males. 81% of female subscribers to bingo sites play the slot machines. There is a social element that goes with bingo and the inbuilt casual games and chat rooms. Perhaps this is the reason many women use them as a way of gaining and expanding friendships.
Poker has also seen an increase female activity. Recently some high profile TV stars went on record to support their interest in poker, and Juega Poker Ya has seen a vast increase in the numbers of women registering to join the online poker fun.
Women have also started to increase other statistical patterns. They now make around 45% of all calls to gambling help lines and advice centres.
So while previously the internet and online gambling was dominated by male searches, women certainly are not lagging behind when it comes to such recreational and entertainment activities.

Youth Football- Practice Number 12
Our first practice of week 5 was primarily an offensive practice. The line worked on pulling and targeting their linebacker target from their initial drop step. They worked on finishing those pull blocks off as well as pass blocking and double team blocking.
The backs worked on pass catching progressions, gauntlet drills and passing game skeletons. In all these drills the center is working with the quarterbacks and the pace is extremely fast with one rep every 8-10 seconds. The backs moved to passing game skeleton drills ( just backs and ends). In two receiver pass patterns we had both quarterbacks throwing, in 3-4 receiver passing patterns we added a coach throwing so that all the receivers got a chance to catch the ball on every rep. All of these reps required the players to fit the ball into the proper ball protection mode and take the ball 10 yards up the field before running the ball back to the coaches at full speed. When going at very high rep speed of 1 play every 15 seconds, ( coach always calling cadence to force the pace) and subbing new players in on every rep, this ended up not only being a very good technique and timing improvement session, but we also got some conditioning in.
During team we added the victory formation, something we get into the last few snaps to safely run out the clock. The wingback is moved to 7 yards behind the quarterback and the 3 back and fullback are to the side and slightly in front of the quarterback.
We also put in our spike play, to stop the clock and practiced the heck out of it.
Lastly we put in our “Hail Mary” last play of the game play ( Hopefully we wont have to use it)
We ended up with about 50 minutes of full team offensive reps on air and coaches with shields at the point of attack, with subs coming in every single play.
Thursday will be defense and special teams.
All the drills, offense and defense can be found in the book “Winning Youth Football a Step by Step Plan”.
