The Foreign Office on Thursday night issued a demarche to the U.S. Embassy here to register Islamabad's concerns over the slander campaign against Pakistan following the arrest of Kashmiri-American Council's (KAC) director Ghulam Nabi Fai by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Breaking its silence two days after his arrest, the Foreign Office also said the Pakistan Embassy in Washington had been asked to ascertain the details. In a late night statement, the Foreign Office recorded Pakistan's appreciation for the contributions made by the KAC and Dr. Fai for the cause of Jammu & Kashmir.
Stating that J&K is one of the oldest disputes on the agenda of the United Nations, the Foreign Office noted that upholding fundamental rights of Kashmiris is the fundamental responsibility of the international community and all conscientious people who value human rights and values.
The KAC, according to the statement, has been working towards this end and Kashmiris appreciate and applaud its services. Campaigns to defame the just cause of the Kashmiri people will not affect its legitimacy, the Foreign Office added.
The charge against Dr. Fai is that he had violated U.S. laws which prohibit people from working for foreign governments without authorization. He is alleged to have received up to $4 million in illegal contributions from Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence. Another man charged along with him, Zaheed Ahmad, is believed to be currently in Pakistan.

WikiLeaks has lodged a strong protest with the UNESCO for "banning'' it from an international conference it is hosting at its headquarters in Paris on the impact of the whistleblower website's activities.
It said the U.S. organisers of the two-day conference, which opened on Thursday, had "stacked'' it with WikiLeaks' opponents and "blocked all speakers from WikiLeaks, stating that the decision to censor WikiLeaks representation was an exercise in 'freedom of expression... our right to give voice to speakers of our choice' ''.
Describing it as "an intolerable abuse'' of the United Nations organisation, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange demanded an immediate investigation and said it was "time to occupy UNESCO''.
"UNESCO must conduct a full, frank and open investigation as to how its constitution, which tasks it to promote freedom of expression, freedom of information and freedom of communication, has become a blunt instrument of censorship. UNESCO must demonstrate that cold-war style power-plays, by the United States, or indeed any other country, are no longer acceptable," he said.
Mr. Assange said that UNESCO had "made itself an international human rights joke''.
"To use 'freedom of expression' to censor WikiLeaks from a conference about WikiLeaks is an Orwellian absurdity beyond words. This is an intolerable abuse of UNESCO's Constitution. It's time to occupy UNESCO.''
In a letter to UNESCO, WikiLeaks spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson said: "UNESCO has a duty to assure that fairness and balance is secured in important discussions carried out under the banner of the organization. It is obvious that this will hardly be the case, given the selection of speakers. This is both a disgrace to UNESCO and potentially harmful to WikiLeaks.''
In a statement posted on its website, WikiLeaks said the conference was packed with "who's who'' of the websites opponents and critics "no matter how insignificant or poorly informed''.
"This includes speakers who are not merely critics, but four who have active legal conflicts with the organisation.''
It said the board of the US World Press Freedom Committee (WPFC) -- listed by UNESCO as theconference organisers in cooperation with the UNESCO Communication & Information Sector-- comprised "Washington insiders, cold war ideological allies such as Freedom House and the disgraced IAPA and U.S. mainstream media groups''.
Ronald Koven of the WPFC justified WikiLeaks' exclusion saying: "The main focus of this conference is not about WikiLeaks as such but about the implications of its actions for the future of professional journalism."
WikiLeaks said the claim was "at odds'' with the conference aims listed on its website-namely `` to explore a wide range of new questions for traditional media and journalism posed by the WikiLeaks phenomenon" .
UNESCO reportedly told WikiLeaks that it "did not have intention to cause any polemic" and that WikiLeaks could attend the conference as long as it did not demand to participate as speakers.
This, WikiLeaks argued, was an attempt "to deny WikiLeaks work as journalism''.
Keywords: WikiLeaks, UNESCO conference, freedom of expression, Julian Assange

LIMA � Bob Cupp could be bitter about Ohio�s process for picking Supreme Court justices.
For the past six years, he was the first Lima resident serving in the Ohio Supreme Court since James Price�s re-election in 1908. The Ohio State Bar Association rated him �highly recommended.� As the incumbent, he seemed to have everything going his way leading up to the Nov. 6 election.
�On the bright side, I carried western Ohio pretty soundly,� Cupp said. �� On the bad side, there are most people living in eastern Ohio.�
Cupp and fellow incumbent Yvette McGee Brown both lost their election bids. Cupp had the closest of the three races, with Democrat William O�Neill, a former judge currently working as a nurse, getting 52 percent of the votes.
Still, Cupp wouldn�t have it any other way. He scoffed at changing the process, in part because he didn�t think voters had a strong enough opinion on it to force a constitutional vote and in part because he fears the alternative, appointing high court judges.
�Every process has its shortcomings,� Cupp said after his speech. �If there were strictly an appointment system, there�d be an unbelievable effect politics played.�
Cupp showed his resistance to appointments after the election. A spot on the bench is available, with the impending retirement of Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton. Cupp didn�t apply for the appointment, despite his credentials for the job. He said he didn�t want there to be an appearance of favoritism toward Gov. John Kasich, a fellow Republican, in any cases coming before the court.
�Bob took the honorable route,� said Ben Rose, a former state representative and current vice president of the bar association. �That�s the kind of judge and the kind of character he is.�
In Cupp�s mind, the fairest way to choose a judge is to let the voters do it.
�The only way to change this is to amend the Ohio constitution,� Cupp said. �I don�t envision the people giving up the right to elect their supreme court justices here.�
In Cupp�s case, the November defeat partly fell to being on a busy ballot.
It�s not that he didn�t try in eastern Ohio. Cupp knew to beat O�Neill and keep his seat, he needed to market himself to voters in the population-heavy Cleveland region. Unfortunately for him, so did the presidential and U.S. Senate candidates and different organizations with an interest in those races, driving up the costs to advertise there.
Instead, he turned to heavy travel, trying to be seen in every corner of Ohio, meeting as many people as he could. He recalled one day starting in Van Wert and wrapping up in St. Clairsville. He estimated travelling 35,000 miles this election season, reviewing cases on a tablet computer as he criss-crossed Ohio.
�That�s enough to go around the perimeter of the state of Ohio 40 to 50 times,� Cupp said.
It came down to name recognition, since not even the Republican�s party affiliation appeared on the ballot. Despite all that travel, it wasn�t enough for the Columbus Grove graduate.
�We have long known that Supreme Court races often have been decided by if the voters can identify you,� Cupp said. �If you have a familiar sounding name, you�re set. That�s why we�ve had so many Celebrezzes and Sullivans here.�
The former Lima city prosecutor, Allen County commissioner, state senator and appellate judge said he remained focused on finishing out the year, clearing through as many cases on the court�s docket as possible. He said he�d evaluate his next move after his term ended.
He won�t spend it trying to change a system he still favors.
�This is still a better, more open system than one where politicians make all the decisions,� Cupp said.

True confession upfront: It wasn't my deep and virtuous commitment to helping the less fortunate that drove me to Red Hook on that holiday morning. A week ago, Thanksgiving was barreling down on me like a lonely freight train. I'd made the decision not to travel home to Michigan, in part, because my guest-starring role as the out-of-town, perennial, bachelor uncle is growing tiresome in its 45th year. Too proud to fish my network for a plus-one invite, I faced Thursday with no plans, no company.
My singleton status weighs heaviest at holidays. Thursday, my mother implored me over the phone, "You need to get a life. You're blogging too much." Yes. She actually said that. Where would we be without the wisdom of our moms?
I too may be struggling with a touch of survivor's guilt. I was spirited out of the state to Seattle hours before Sandy struck the city and did not return until weeks later. But I did not feel lucky to have missed it. I felt ambiguous that my adopted hometown that I so love suffered devastation and I was so removed from it, physically, even emotionally at times. It is my home, after all. I returned to find my neighborhood was spared the worst. Now there is just a lone truncated tree that still lays in front of my building that reminds me of the broken lives Sandy left in her wake.
I have followed the stories of local heroism, like Matt Kraushar—aka "Medical Matt"—who has organized a swift and proactive medical response. He was on the ground long before FEMA, the Red Cross or the state or city. He is only a medical student, but his efforts have been key to treating and stabilizing more than 300 patients in Red Hook whose management of chronic health conditions was threatened by the interruption of power and services.
Occupy activists have sprung into action, transforming their protest movement into a nimble and efficient response team, improbably working alongside the municipal government with which they have had epic battles in the past.
The New York Daily News credited Menchaca with organizing 2,500 volunteers in that community by Nov. 12.
The coalition effort Menchaca has been involved with, Red Hook Volunteers, served up to 1,000 hot meals a day on the ground and doing 210 homebound deliveries in the first few weeks. They oversaw over 1,500 people in the first two weekends, including large groups from the cancelled New York City marathon. Last weekend about 600 volunteers showed but they are beginning to see numbers dwindle a bit.
Carlos suggested I report to the The Miccio Center adjacent to the Red Hook Public Housing where residents lived well over two weeks without power. This is a short walking distance from my home. I know the area well.
My inclination was to go, observe, interview, report.
Upon arrival, I spot a woman who is clearly projecting that she is in charge. Her name is Alexandra Rodríguez, she is the program director of the Red Hook Senior Center. I introduce myself by name, but not affiliation. She beams a smile at me, and says, "You can go help them," gesturing at a dozen volunteers holding lists of seniors expecting food deliveries.
And I was off with a trio of fellow Brooklynites, two of whom had been recruited through a posting at their workplace, Bloomberg News, where they work as reporters. I could not have hoped for more charming, enjoyable holiday company.
The government's response to Sandy has clearly been head and shoulders above Katrina, but also not without hiccups. The story of Occupy Sandy and Medical Matt tells of the necessity for swift local response that end-runs the inertia of bureaucracy. But the infrastructure of a robust social safety net is still very necessary to deliver large resources, indicating a need for continued improvement, not dismantling. The bulk of the food donations for Thanksgiving Day's meal came from NYC Mayor Bloomberg's office.
In addition to having lost her facilities, her program now serves three meals a day, up from two, and her charge has expanded from just seniors to the entire community. Her upbeat and cheerful attitude betrays no resignation, frustration or exhaustion. She expresses a lot of gratitude to the people and agencies that have stepped up: "I thought today [Thanksgiving] we weren't going to get that many volunteers. But, thank God, today we have a lot of volunteers."
The 2012 election made the rural/urban divide in America more clear to me than ever before. As the Republicans cycle through their stages of grief, their bargaining phase includes the supposition that Romney would have won, "if only it weren't for those urban voters." Likewise, other Democratic candidates and the marriage equality victories were put over the top by large margins in urban settings that overcame resistance in more conservative rural areas.
Sometimes implied, sometimes spoken explicitly, is the idea that urban voters are dumb, misled or just shouldn't count for some reason or another.
Sarah Palin has said many obnoxious and moronic things over the years, but few stuck personally in my own craw as much as when she said:
We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the "real America," being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation.So much wrong and offensive. Suffice it to say it's possible to pander to small-town America without denigrating and insulting urban voters, maybe try that next cycle? But she's just repeating a delusion that is common in her party.
A central tenet of this attitude is urban settings are not "real" communities; people there live lives of disconnection and mutual apathy. In fact, anyone who's lived in a city can tell you it's total bunk. We have block parties, together we root for the home team and babysit each other's kids just like "real Americans."
Conservatives were served a heaping helping of reality on Nov. 6 when they learned urban Americans' votes are as "real" as their commitment to their neighbors and family.
Non-New Yorkers can get a great window into the community of Red Hook by viewing this touching video created for Restore Red Hook of local small business owners discussing their experiences before, during and after the storm. It gives a good picture of the diversity and challenges of the area. Repeatedly owners discuss their commitment to that specific community, a unique and beautiful neighborhood they've chosen to call home.
Red Hook from kathryn schubert on Vimeo.
Particularly moving is a moment at the 3:00 mark where one owner, overwhelmed at the prospect of rebuilding says, "And I looked around and there were thirty people behind me saying, 'what do we need to do?'"
I'm about to finish my 20th year in New York City. I've come to think of New York City as indestructible. I say this not despite 9/11 but because of it. The story of Red Hook just reinforces my impressions. Here in Kings and New York county where Barack Obama took well over 80% of the vote, the constituency who are said to be motivated only by the desire for "free stuff," are giving generously of their time, talents and money.
Ana Marie Cox recently penned a piece that really resonated with me. The Romney campaign was not only unable to read polling and demographic data, they weren't able read sentiment of the people. She said, "Ultimately, we didn't want to be the kind of country Mitt Romney and the Republican party told us we were."
Cox is right. Romney failed because his own vision of America failed. And I mean "vision," both in the sense of how he sees it now, and where he thinks its future lies. They made their case and for all their efforts to sell Ayn Rand's version of the Great Society, it was seen by more Americans as a dystopic nightmare, not a utopian dream.
In Red Hook, a diverse coalition of people from all walks of life and from all over the city have pulled together in ways both grand and small to lift the worst-hit over the hurdle of this profound catastrophe. Private efforts efficiently partner with public agencies—and vice-versa—to deliver help where it is needed.
At the end of the day, did citizen Rachael's confection of pastry, fruit, nuts, honey and molasses deliver important life-sustaining nutrition? It did not. But every pie that crossed a threshold delivered a message: "People care. America is not a land that turns its back on people in crisis. We take care of our own. Fear not. You are not alone in this tough time."
And helping to dissemninate that message was a truly beautiful way to spend Thanksgiving.

How to Use Layers in Photoshop

In this Photoshop tutorial you will learn how to use layers in Photoshop to your advantage.

Grab video code:
Hey it's Clayton Jenkins and today we're going to head back to the Photoshop tutorials and we're going to be covering the basics, I've got all kinds of e-mails and messages on YouTube and comments asking some pretty fundamental questions, I have one person asked me what a layer was it the other day and they just couldn't believe they're even trying to follow my tutorial, if they didn't understand the concept of layers, so let's get started.
You'll see no right hand corner of your screen somewhere down in here, maybe , just kind of circling it, the HD option, I'm kind of getting tired of assuming and panning on all the videos so you might want to do that just in case I didn't do fit this one, I probably will. Anyways, okay so you have Photoshop open which you can obtain a free copy of an Adobe.com, I'll post the link in the side bar just to make it quicker and once you get uploaded, your 30 day trials in full swing, we can start. Now most people have no prior experience getting here and they just don't even know where to start. They don't know what they can do with it, they don't even know what's going on; so let's open up a picture, close open, up, okay, this is of me and my buddies on a vacation, it's a pretty neat shot but when I originally edited, I think I bumped up the contrast, you might, so I'm stopping on up this. Anyways, now that we'll be doing that anyways, so as you'll see if you come down here to the layers panel, and if you don't see that go to view, or not view, window, layers or hit F7, this should work for all versions of Photoshop so if you don't have CS4 or the one that was like mine don't worry about it. So we have this pictures our background, that's me, this is one of my best friends and this is also a good friend of mine, anyways, as you can see in the layer's panel we have one layer and it'll just appear as a single item and that is the photo and if you'll see if I toggle it on and off, it comes and goes. The checkered background just means there is nothing there, this is a plain canvass if you're to save this, it would be nothing. So when I enable a layer it appears, okay so let's say I wanted to replace the sky or something, I guess this is the best way I can help you guys understand layers; let me go grab a picture of the sky somewhere, okay this looks good, I'm going to copy it, want to come back to Photoshop and paste it, alright, and as you can see it's kind of a rain on top of it, if I come back down to my layers, you'll see it pops back up. Now it's very important you remember as you're doing projects to name your layers, so I'm going to do that right now by double clicking, then name this one Sky, alright, the bottom one Friends, cause, yeah, we're friends. Alright, so as you can see if I select Sky, I can do it around where I want; it's pretty powerful tool layers are because it all gives me the option to layer things on top of each other and go search things. As you can tell layers on the top, well, show over layers on the bottom, it's just like if you were, oh what do they call that, scrap looking, this is like a picture on top of maybe the background picture, I don't know, but if I were to move this below just by dragging it, you wouldn't see it, but if I were to turn off the friends layer, you wouldn't see it. So you can move layers around and that's how they work. So let's just replace the sky, I'm going to do this as simple as I can so I'm going to come to the Friends layer cause I'm going to want us like a friends layer, I want to move it on top because we really don't want to delete too much of this and so maybe we could just delete, you know, some of the sky right here, and I'll shelve through to this sky, right, so let's just grab this rectangular Marquee tool and all it does is select an area, okay, now let's hit delete and what we're doing is we're deleting a part of this layer, and as you can tell it shows down to the layer below but that doesn't look very good because no sky, I mean really looks like that. I guess if it was modern art you could leave it, oh I hope no one watching this video does modern art because, anyways, so it's like this look a little bit better, I'm going to hit Alt Control Delete which will sensually undo things, you might want to write that down, that'll be your best friend, and then hit, come back to my Marquee tool or not my Marquee tool, I'm going to go down to my Polygonal Lasso tool. If it's just a Lasso tool this is probably how this should come up, you click on it and hold and then go down to the Polygonal lasso tool. Now I'm just going to end up cutting mu buddy out, sorry buddy, now I'm just going to loosely, you know, select an area of the sky that I want to replace, I'd just kind of go around a little bit, come back, cause I don't want to leave him in. So I'm selecting an area such as this and I want to hit delete, and as you can see it replaces the sky but again it doesn't look very good and the sky isn't big enough, so let's fix that and I'll hit Alt Control C, just to kind of bring it back, I'm going to turn off my top layer and then I'm going to turn to make this bigger and there's several ways you can do that, but I just like or I'm just going to suggest you having the Polygonal Lasso tool out, right click, go to free transform and then hold Shift and drag out, and by holding Shift you're just making sure it scales proportionally so that you don't get, basically when you scale unproportionally it can lose quite a bit the quality. So we made it larger and as you can see it will definitely be big enough. So let's go back up to our friends layer, let's turn it our feather up, and what the feather does of the selection is it kind of softens the edges a little bit. We'll try 4, and that'll just, you know, make it look a little bit better, I'm going to hit Control Plus to zoom in, it's like I can get a little bit better, look closer, and I'm just kind of get along here and get a closer selection, and you know the best way to actually learn Photoshop is just to do it, I mean really you just got to mess around and you'll, no matter what anyone tells you, you will never learn Photoshop completely, there will always be things that you won't know how to do, I've been doing it for a few years now and I'm not even close. So, anyways I can hit Control Minus to kind of zoom me out, it's next to the zero key click it if you don't find them and I'm going to zoom in a little bit again, let me go ahead and hit delete, oh, it's looking better, as you can see our feather that we put on there softened it up quite a bit. There are better methods of selecting which I will cover in further tutorials but, you know what, I think this is a good starting point from any of you. I'll post these pictures in the side bar and you're free to use them, my gift to you. And now we'll continue in some of these beginner tutorials on later this week and I'll maybe even post them one after this is downloading. So I hope you've learned a little bit today about Photoshop and if you think this could be enough to get you on your way, I guess the next one, the next video will better cover all the tools, I guess this was just to get you get excited about being able to do it but when it comes out of it you really need to understand all of these tools here, here and all the layer and channeled path concepts, but anyways, I think you should be able to do it, if you have problems just put a comment down below and I'm sure someone else or I will be able to help you out. Anyways, thanks, see you in a bit, I'm not seeing you in a bit, just subscribe, you know, bye.

Time for a little Bemz-spiration.I've talked about Bemz a few times here, they carry slipcovers that fit IKEA sofas and chairs so that you can customize your IKEA finds turning them into something more personalized. They just launched a section on their site called "Lifestyles" where you can view different collections of Bemz' fabrics in real homes. Seeing some of their fabrics living in a real environment is really helpful. Currently there are 6 Bemz Lifestyles and more will follow later this year.
This is my favorite of all the rooms. I'd have a little more in this space (a rug, a few chairs, etc.), but I really the cool colors and the mixing of florals with stripes in a way that looks very stylish, like a fashion designer would live here.
I found their break down of the various styles they're trying to mimic helpful since we often try to define our look to friends and don't know what to call it, there are so many styles and definitions floating around. As I look at these definitions along with the Bemz images I realize that they are based purely from a Scandinavian perspective, as they're Stockholm-based and this is their own take on these looks. In other words, I don't think Country Romance or Downtown really looks like the typical country or downtown style that we'd see here in America.
Fun exercise: As you read through their definitions below, examine the images shown as examples and consider how each style would be interpreted in your part of the world.
1. Bohemian Chic – Aimed at people who love combining old and new to add unexpected contrasts to their home. This Lifestyle employs a palette of dark, intimate colors, with elements of brown, mauve, black and pink.
2. Country Romance – Is Bemz's modern interpretation of a delightful past: elegant and graceful, romantic and playful, while not coming across as cute. Shades of white anchor this Lifestyle, thoughtfully blended with pale pastels, gentle florals and muted checks.
3. Downtown – This look pays tribute to city slickers, people who are energized by the skyscrapers and pulse of a big city. Downtown draws from an urban palette of black, grey and white, combined with discrete patterns and bright accent colors.
4. Nordic Home – Embodies a clean, simple and harmonious backdrop for the changing seasons that can be highlighted with materials such as cushions and curtains. This 5. Lifestyle features some of Bemz' distinctive Scandinavian patterns.
5. Playground – For those homes where the walls are white and it's the furniture and art projects that add color. Red, green, orange, blue and black are combined with strong graphic patterns and bold horizontal and vertical stripes.
6. Swedish Grace – Features clean lines, natural shapes and understated tones, inspired by a legacy of classic 50s Scandinavian design.
How would you define your style?

I'm always looking for new fabric and wallpaper so the second I came across this photo in the March issue of Livingetc magazine, I had to learn more about the headboard. The fabric is called Birds and Butterflies and is hand printed by Rapture and Wright, a company based in the UK that I'd not heard of before.
The headboard itself is custom made by The Dormy House, but I can't stop thinking about how easy it would be to DIY this idea with plywood (or an old door), cotton batting, your favorite fabric, a staple gun, and some mounting hardware for the wall (easy video here on You Tube). It's also amazing to me just how great this particular print looks in person as I don't think I would have given it a second glance if only seen on their website. Livingetc really grabbed my attention with birds and butterflies – I love the serene neutral space with a pop of black and yellow. Heaven!
(most images from Rapture and Rright, photograph taken of the March 08 issue of Livingetc by Holly Becker for decor8. Photographer: Penny Wincer. Room styled by Melanie Molesworth.)
Gift wrap has a wide range of uses that goes far beyond gift giving. You can use it to create tags and labels for canisters and storage boxes (use a craft punch and affix it to card stock so it doesn't curl), line your drawers, incorporate into your art work, decoupage a pencil holder, flower pot, even wood furniture, frame your favorite pieces as art, lay your favorite pattern beneath a sheet of glass on your desk (alternate it each month with a new print), ideas for it really are endless! Have you shopped Whimsy Press lately for gift wrap? Need motivation? Cupcakes and bird motifs!
They've just added some new prints that I spotted on HWTM, their gift wrap sheets are FSC certified paper and contain 30% post consumer fiber so they're pretty and eco-friendly. Whimsy Press has added new products in addition to their extensive (and beautiful) collection of wrapping paper to include wall art, placemats, stickers, and much more.
Need some visual inspiration? Use wrapping paper to whip up this project from Martha Stewart, it's one of my favorites on her site.

I thought it would be fun to show off some of my before and afters to all of you here on decor8. Most of these pieces have been completely redone with new lacquer and new upholstery. Most of my inspiration comes from viewing old 1950 and 1960's Better Homes and Gardens Books and Magazines to see how best I can replicate it from that era.
The 1930's side chairs upholstered (above) in red have actually been redone "green". The chairs are painted with NO VOC paint, and the batting is 100% certified organic cotton, which means no chemicals were used in treating the cotton. The stuffing or foam, is actually recycled denim mostly used for insulation of homes. The upholstery is from the 1960's which is recycled.
Most of the inventory for my store is painted in black or white, but I have painted items in kelly green or Chinese red, it all depends on what I feel would look the best for the item and what would appeal to my customers.
I also offer a lacquer service from my store, so if clients bring in a piece I can custom lacquer it to any color from a fan deck and customize it to their liking. My lacquering service runs between $150-$250 for chairs depending on labor. If you are interested in having a piece redone and would like a quote, please send in pictures with the measurements to turquoise.la AT gmail.com

"Hey Hindoo! Come, buy!" shouts the shaggy man, squatting amidst a litter of watercolours on the pavement in Madison Square. An old codger whistles nonchalantly as he wheels a piano across the street, painted with Van Gogh's brilliant sunflowers. Behind you, an avant-garde gallery displays scrap sculpture.
Everything is grist to a journalist's mill. But somehow, I never got round to writing about those two months in 1992 when I plunged into my very own rabbit hole to emerge as an Indian Alice in New York's wonderland of contemporary art. Winding through art galleries and museums, I face challenges, unnerving, also intoxicating: Jackson Pollock's maze of splashing colours; conceptual artist Adrian Piper's confrontational collage; glossy ribbons tearing through James Rosenquist's synthetic flower; a silver-dipped vacuum cleaner in a glass cage with pink lights winking upon it. I back up against a wall, to be told that I am blocking a light sculpture of fluorescent tubes. I move away to find a Barnett Newman glowering at me— scarlet canvas streaked with blue.
Luckily, I also get to visit ateliers, and watch artists at work. Flamboyant Julian Schnabel, obviously used to playing the lead in life (as in his velvet-curtained studio), declares, "You want to understand contemporary art? Simple. Come here everyday and study my work deeply". Rene Ricard looks at his poem-painting poster, wipes his eyes, and exclaims, "Don't you think I am amazing?" Oh yes, vanity is self-assertion, but does it cloak inevitable insecurities?
Leafing through photographs of brilliant collaborations between sculptor Isamu Noguchi and dance diva Martha Graham at her school on 63rd Street, I am startled to learn that I was actually sitting on a work of art – a chair designed by the sculptor. Later, sipping tepid coffee at artist Alex Katz' studio, I learn that modern dance maestros Merce Cunningham and Paul Taylor sought cross-genre collaborations. What enticed Katz was the "fun of doing zany things on the stage. Once I had this mammoth grid to frame the dancers, at another time I put up 50 dogs for the dancers to dodge as they zoomed through."
No dearth of wackiness, certainly. At El Morocco, 18th century costumes-clad Peter McGough and David McDermott, find me exotic! "You've never tasted meat! How pure, noble!" they chorus in rapture. Ross Bleckner wants to know if I draw fresh designs on my forehead each day.
What intrigues me is that these artists draw their fire and imagery from such eclectic sources across time and space –Asian, Mayan, Aztec, native American cultures. My host Francesco Clemente is inspired by strains of India – tantric symbols, Mughal miniatures, film posters...
I walk into minimalist Brice Marden's studio resounding with bhairavi (Salamat, Nazakat Ali Khan). The open book on the table has original Chinese poems with translations in English. It dawns on me that the structural purity of calligraphy, as also the whorls and loops of taans (musical phrases) are reflected in Marden's canvas.
An atelier can also be a factory. I see assistants hammering, pounding, slicing aluminium strips for Frank Stella's massive sculpture-paintings. To hear Stella talk, as only a great artist can, is to feel the spectacular pageantry of American abstract expressionism throbbing in my pulsebeats. "I don't worry about meanings beyond the act of painting," he shrugs. Frank Stella, Francesco Clemente, Eric Fischl, Richard Heller, Kenny Scharf… All cameos in my mind now. But, your work, and your words, have made me understand that creativity is the struggle to banish intolerance, to find release, freedom from tyranny.
To be an artist is to strengthen the wisdom of the human race.
The author is a playwright, theatre director, musician and journalist, writing on the performing arts, cinema and literature

UNION — A Union woman was charged with child neglect after leaving her 16-month-old child alone in a parked truck on Wednesday.
Crystal Jean Nave, 31, of 295 Vanderford Road, Union, was charged with child neglect around 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 30.
The arrest warrant states that Nave did leave her 16-month-old child in an unlocked running vehicle and went inside the Fresh Air Galaxy, leaving the child unattended by an adult and placing the child in unreasonable risk of harm.
According to the incident report, officers responded to Fresh Air Galaxy in reference to a child being left unattended in a vehicle. When officers arrived, Nave was in the truck at a nearby Li'l Cricket store.
The incident report states Nave admitted to leaving her child in the truck, but she pointed out the truck was parked directly in front of the store and left running with the air conditioner on. Nave said she would never do anythign to hurt her child.
The report states Nave said she was only in Fresh Air Galaxy for five minutes, and she could see her vehicle from inside the store. Officers later stated there was no way she could see her vehicle from inside the store, and investigation showed that Nave was inside Fresh Air Galaxy for around 15 minutes.
Officers advised Nave what she did was serious and that she should have taken the child in the store with her because 16-month-old children cannot protect themselves.
Nave was transported to Union County Jail, and the child was taken by a family member.
The Union Public Safety Department also reported the following arrest:
— Evelia Briones Soto, 26, of 179 Bailey road, Buffalo, was charged with shoplifting around 7:25 p.m. July 30. According to the incident report, Soto took a pair of children's pants from Belk, located at 441 North Duncan Bypass, Union.

In the future, I want to work with the MSF... Perhaps even in Gaza... unless peace is achieved before, but today that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.
I appreciate your efforts to incorporate a serious issue in a game, I was going to add some political commentary to my game myself, http://jams.gamejolt.io/gbjam3/games/ali-baba-and-the-40-thieves/31957 (the one you played, thanks for the play) something like "But zionists are the real thieves", but I ran out of time.
It's sad that in real life things can be even more brutal =(
As for the scoring system, it's based on how much time you survive and the number of survivors.
Maybe upload a desktop build? It could be an issue with the Web Player for me.

Heads Up June 2011
Indiana Soccer's E Coaching Magazine
HEADS UP! June, 2011 E Coaching Magazine Contents Meet Steve Franklin-New Director of Education for Indiana Soccer Final Shot-Vince Ganzberg-Director of Education for Indiana Soccer "When You Whisper" Indiana National Youth License Sample Camp Curriculum for youth players TOPSoccer Symposium FIFA Women's World Cup 2011 TV schedule Indiana Soccer Coaching Opportunities Congrats to both Lauren Cheney and Lori Lindsey Present this coupon in any Avon Sports Apparel store and receive 20% off regular-priced in-stock merchandise. Offer valid until 7/31/2011 Greetings to you, the members of Indiana Soccer. My name is Steve Franklin, and I am the new Director of Education (in waiting) that has the task of taking over from Vince Ganzberg. Now I realize what might have been going through the minds of Mike Freitag, Bill Guthridge, and Jimmy Dykes years ago. These three replaced the legendary coaches Jerry Yeagley (Indiana University Soccer), Dean Smith (UNC Basketball) and Connie Mack (Philadelphia Athletics � MLB). It is not an easy position to be in, but a challenge I look forward to. Most of you may know me from the sidelines at IUPUI where I have served as the Head Men's Soccer Coach for the past 16 years. During my tenure I had the fortunate task to build a program not once, not twice, but three times as we moved from the NAIA level to the NCAA D-II ranks (1995-97) and the from the D-II ranks into the NCAA D-I arena (1998-present) on the men's side, while starting our women's program from scratch in December of 1997. Prior to my arrival in Indianapolis, I had the fortunate pleasure of working under Jerry Yeagley from 1993-95. I learned a number of valuable lessons along the way, none more important than the need to give back to the game--a "pay it forward" if you may. My teams led the universities efforts in community service projects � building homes for Habitat for Humanity; packing food at the Gleaners Food Bank; volunteering at Riley's Children's Hospital to name a few. I also had the pleasure of working with Vince Ganzberg in the Community Stars program and in the Urban Soccer Development Program. That's when the fire began to burn to find another challenge in this sport. I cannot begin to start my legacy with Indiana Soccer without paying tribute once again to the vision, the ideas, countless hours on the road and commitment that Vince has put towards his own legacy here in Indiana. Because of this, Indiana Soccer is the benchmark for other US Youth Soccer State Associations. He has been an innovator, a leader and finally the authority as to how to educate our youth in soccer. I personally believe we at Indiana Soccer should strive to develop players at all levels of play be it the recreational, the travel or premier player. We should be focusing not only on building and improving their technical skills, but also on their confidence and athleticism. In addition, we should also adhere to a "catching them doing good" theory, thus building their self-esteem and sense of teamwork. I believe one of my primary focuses should be a committed effort to developing coaches to the highest level through a quality instructional program. We need to not only educate new younger coaches, but also find ways to inspire our veteran coaches to have a thirst to learn more. The game is always evolving and while we aren't trying to re-invent the wheel, we are trying to find new and improved methods to "paint a picture" in the minds of our youth to insure those "a-ha!" moments. It will also be my mission to try to aggressively expand soccer opportunities to areas that are traditionally underserved � principally the inner city and the more remote rural areas. Indiana has a number of small towns where kids are throwing down t-shirts to mark out goals in the back yard or park, and then playing small sided soccer games on their own. We don't want to suffocate the creativity or passion, but simply educate those around them who will coach them � hopefully developing them to become the next Landon Donavon or Abby Wambach. Finally, I ask you to try and accomplish three things in the coming months: 1) support the US Women in their effort to win a third World Cup in Germany and the US Men in the Gold Cup by watching their efforts and increasing our television viewership; 2) purchase a copy of Coleen Hacker's "Catch Them Being Good" (less than $10 on Amazon) and explore all that is right in coaching soccer players of all ages, and 3) take a kid to a live professional match. Give them something to dream about. Without the dream, the desire to develop will never bloom. I'd like to thank Executive Director Dave Guthrie, Vince Ganzberg and the entire selection committee (Don Rawson, Steve McCullough and Allen Bodenstein) for appointing me as the new Director of Education. I look forward to working with you, my fellow coaching peers, in serving the members of Indiana Soccer. Final Shot Vince Ganzberg Indiana Soccer Director of Education To start, I would like to personally thank all of you that made my nine plus years here an enjoyable experience. I can't thank the board of Indiana Soccer (formerly Indiana Youth Soccer) for giving me the opportunity to lead coaches, players, parents, and volunteers. I will single out Don Rawson, Dan Kapsalis, and Dave Guthrie who figured out a way to bring me home while going through a tough time in my personal life. Your decision to bring back home to Indiana healed me in many ways. Your loyalty and friendship will always be treasured. I would also like to thank Sarah Cantwell, who is a hall of famer in my book, for being the face and voice of this state association. Your dedication to not only Indiana Soccer and to children is often unseen by many but not those who truly know what goes on inside the building on Herbert Lord Road. I would also like to thank Angel, who is the director of competition for putting up with me and all of my ideas. To the coaching education staff, Olympic development staff, community soccer committee and coaching committee members, kudos for all you do! I would also like to thank my fellow colleagues within US Youth Soccer for their support, humor (Mully and BIG C), and friendship. While I have been complimented by many, it is I who give homage and thanks to all of the players, coaches, parents, and volunteers who make youth soccer in Indiana a reality. My final article will be my final shot to imprint some ideas with regard to player development and continued growth to the game for our great state. While I am sure that some of my comments will end up on a blog, where people hide behind fictitious but rather humorous names, I will offer some ideas for the future of Indiana Soccer. Idea #1 Double age groups for league play There is a saying "If you always do what you did, you will always get what you got, and always feel how you felt". For years players have been grouped by single age groups. This happens for a lot of reasons but mainly because of this has been the norm for the past 10 plus years. It also occurs because of egos of parents and coaches. The other reason is because how State Cups are offered only for single age groups. There was a time, when youth soccer was in its infant stages that players were in double age groups to make teams. This had to be done mainly due to the numbers of children playing soccer. Because of this I feel we developed quicker. I believe the time has come again to have clubs structure their players in double, maybe even triple age groups for the purposes of player development. This is the way it is done on the "streets" isn't it? When a pickup game is organized, players may be grouped somewhat by age and size but if there is an exceptional young player then let them play with the older kids. Novice players then they figure out how to get better. Imagine if you as a club director of coaching could have a pool of players between the ages of 9-11/12, 11/12-14, and 15 and up as opposed to having to place them on teams right away? You may be able to develop players within your club as opposed to having players come in from others. From last gaze, a player doesn't have an "expiration date" on their forehead. Due to younger players having parents who have a soccer playing background, we are getting a somewhat more mature "soccer" player. By getting rid of single age groups, you now allow players who are ahead of the learning curve the opportunity to play with older players. Conversely, you also allow a player who is not developing quite as fast the opportunity to play with players of the same ability. Get rid of "strict" team rosters and allow clubs the opportunity to group the players by abilities so all have a sense of belonging to a group. This by the way is the element that most human beings seek throughout life. In our current model, we "cut" players and have them seek other opportunities. Many times, after the age of 12, that answer is to leave the game altogether. Leagues can then offer a U10, U12, U14, U16, and U19 divisions but allow clubs flexibility to move players week to week (club pass concept). This would be a change due to parents and coaches egos and their desire to have "teams". It is absolutely true that players want to be on teams and have a sense of belonging. This can be achieved by simply having a core of players play with each other throughout the season but also allowing for an occasional child the opportunity to try getting out of or into their comfort zone. A state association can still have a single age group format for cups and tournaments. For the state, presidents, and challenge cups, just have the "cup freeze" date be at the time of kickoff. The transfer rules, however, would have to be amended by the National Championship Series of US Youth Soccer. Tournaments, which we all know are revenue sources for clubs can also offer single age group divisions. Clubs would simply organize their pool of players into a tournament roster. While some may call this a radical approach to improving youth soccer, I truly have believed for quite a few years this is the way Indiana should show the rest of the country how it is done. Idea #2 Amend Small Sided Games for league play My first task as the director of education for Indiana Soccer in 2002 was to organize small sided games for travel/select league play. "Thank you very little"! The emails I received right off the bad almost made me wonder why I wanted to come back to this great state. Well, it has been nine years since my first document and while clubs may not be winning at the younger age group levels when they go to out of state tournaments, the base overall of players has improved. The whining, for the most part, has ceased and children have actually survived! Currently U9 and U10's play 6v6 and U11 and U12's play 8v8. The time has come to go to odd numbers instead of even for league play. I would recommend that the future of small sided games in Indiana be 7v7 for U9 and U10's and 9v9 for U11 and U12's. Odd numbers offer a better playing shape and for the U11 and U12 age groups the 9v9 model is an easier transition to the 11 aside game. I have always been a proponent of odd numbers instead of even for these age groups because of these two reasons. Additionally if the leagues would ever adopt double age group play this would allow clubs the opportunity to perhaps be more inclusive when it comes to selection. This model would also serve the recreation or "community" clubs better. While small sided games were never mandatory for recreation/community clubs many do organize their players in a variation of the above mentioned formats. The punt rule for U9-U12 should also be amended to be: "The ball can be punted over the midfield line, however, may not land in the opposing penalty box". A simple phase in plan like was done in 2002 can be implemented to achieve this goal. Idea #3 Create a Future Coaches Program This concept is already being formulated. The concept is to offer a coaching program for 15-22 year olds who have a desire to be a coach or educator. Registrants would be involved in an eight month long program. The program would consist of webinars, live coaching course offerings, being mentored, and ending with a practical coaching experience. A participant would end up after the eight month program with a Youth Module 1, Youth Module 2, TOPSoccer Certificate, and E License. The final piece would include the opportunity for these candidates the opportunity for college credit. The end result would hopefully be to create a larger and more educated base for clubs. The indirect result would be to create better future moms and dads! Idea #4 Reward Clubs that truly have a non-for-profit board To be perfectly honest you couldn't pay me enough money to be a Director of Coaching for a club that has a traditional board structure. I mean clubs that have presidents, managers of teams, etc. on the board. I completely understand that boards of clubs are made of volunteers who give up their time away from families and loved ones. I think that is fantastic, however due to this most club directors of coaching though operate as if they were running with handcuffs on them. Sure you can run, but not as fast as you could without them on. A typical situation happens when a person volunteers willingly for a board position and then somehow ends up with total power. Some, not all, volunteers for board positions because it may get their child an "edge" within the club. The problem with power and control is that it then becomes about keeping your position and also posturing for your child's spot on a team. What if clubs structured their boards to have the mayor, congressman, principals, fire and police chief, parks department, bank manager, etc. not affiliated with the club? I bet they wouldn't get involved in making "soccer" decisions like many of our boards currently do now. Then I think we may see our game grow as well as a base. A home is only as strong as its base. Getting and growing soccer in our state and country is very simple: grow the base. Let Directors of Coaching and coaches make decisions with regard to players. Have the truly non-for-profit board look for ways of growing and promoting the game within their communities. Unleash these board members to find sponsorships so children do not get priced out of the game. I don't think children should necessarily play for free, however pretty soon clubs will have a tough time fielding teams given the current economic state of our nation. Imagine if you had a parks department volunteer on your board who sees the value of soccer and they lobby to change under-utilized tennis courts into futsal courts for the children of the community. Who would have thought we would see so many skate board sections in our parks? I am amazed on how many children I see practicing "ollies" and other tricks. They know they are going to fall off their board but they make the choice to try anyway. What if we developed tennis or some basketball courts (need to be careful here) into futsal courts? We may see, heaven forbid, children trying tricks with the ball like what is seen in Brazil, Argentina, and other top soccer playing nations. This can probably be achieved by having board members who are truly there for the growth of the game and not for their child or child's team. The indirect benefit for clubs would be a potential base of players. Clubs need to also hold a Director of Coaching accountable. They can do this by having the director of coaching report to an executive director, director of soccer operations, or ONE designated board member or coaching committee. Directors of coaching should be evaluated on educating staff, parents, and volunteers, retention of players and coaches, and community involvement (i.e. school programming). If Indiana Soccer rewarded clubs that truly had a non-for-profit board structure I believe the game would grow in many ways. They could be rewarded in a variety of ways. These ideas include: reduction in player registration fees, recognizing clubs that perform at a high level, and a special dinner and recognition at the AGM. Idea #5 Grow and promote the Futsal game! I bet many people do not realize that Indiana Soccer has a Futsal committee. Derek Brown currently serves as the committee chair and is doing a terrific job getting this initiative off the ground. Futsal is a terrific tool to develop players of all abilities. It is a much better development tool than playing soccer with walls. In our state we also have natural venues with school gymnasiums for clubs to offer leagues. An idea for future growth would be to have high school club players offer to volunteer their services to working with younger children in schools. They would not only teach soccer and the game of Futsal but could also tutor these young children in academics. Then clubs can really promote that they are a community serving club which may go a longer way when trying to get non-fee based revenue. The overall purpose though would be to help develop and grow the game throughout the winter and summer months. Final Shot In closing I know that some of these ideas may never become reality within my lifetime. There are many ideas I have but decided to end this piece with only five. For example: I believe that Indiana Soccer should allow elementary and middle schools to register their players and allow them to play in our leagues. Then I think we may finally capture that child who may go to another sport and also retain players past the age of 12. I do believe that in order for our players and children to stay in the game longer we need to look ourselves in the mirror instead of looking through the window and blaming others. That is how people go from being good to great. This happens at the club level first. I don't just mean the travel/select clubs but especially the recreation/community clubs. The bulk of our membership is the recreation player who dreams of playing in high school, college, and beyond. I know, I was one of those children. My father started a league in Lawrence that had 100 registered players in its first season. Now the league has grown to over 1000. His mission: To get kids off the street. Pretty simple huh? I never knew when I was playing on the fields at Lawrence Park as an 11 year old that I would someday be asked to lead a state association in this game. There was many times where I felt like a kid trying a new trick on a skateboard. I knew I was going to fall but needed to climb back on the board and try again. There were also times where I felt as frustrated as a moth stuck inside a porch light trying to get out. I could see the opening but just couldn't reach it. Those times, however, were few and far between. We never know what is in our future. I know that everyone will support and embrace our new director of education, Steve Franklin. I am excited to know that he will be at the helm of the education department and know you will glean from his broad experiences in the game. The word "legacy" has been quite popular lately. I have been asked what I think my legacy has been as the director of education for Indiana Soccer? To be honest, I really don't know. The jury is probably still out. I do know one thing though that I enjoyed the journey and the many wonderful people I have met and befriended. I won't miss the 30,000 miles on average per year on my car. I have lost a few friends due to this position and decisions. I have, however, truly been blessed to be given such an honor to serve all of you in this capacity. I do hope my legacy will someday be described as "Someone who trained coaches, parents, and volunteers to see a child's soul instead of just their faces while playing soccer". I will still be "around" helping coaches and players throughout the state, region, and country. The soccer world is a very tight circle. This being said, I know it isn't goodbye, but see you later. God Bless! Wednesday, June 8, 2011 'When you whisper' ... Reflections on a Hall of Fame coach By Mike Woitalla U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame welcomed Bob Gansler last week. He coached the USA when it qualified for the Italia '90, reaching the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. He won an A-League title in 1997 and an MLS title in 2000. But the 69-year-old Gansler, who now serves as a scout for the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, has deep roots in the youth game. His start in coaching came when as a ninth-grader he made compensation for a gym window he broke by coaching a fifth-grade basketball team. While a college sophomore he coached a high school soccer team. "The way I coached is I played along with them," he explained in an interview with Charles F. Gardner in the Milwaukee JournalSentinal. "I was the best player, so they listened." In 1981, Gansler coached the first U.S. national team that qualified for the U-20 World Cup. In 1989, at the U-20 World Cup in Saudi Arabia, Gansler guided the USA to a fourth-place finish, which remains its best finish at that competition. I was able to watch Gansler closely during the 20 days in Saudi Arabia and he made an important impression on me. This was in the Bobby Knight era when a popular school of coaching believed in the hard-ass, screaming, marine-sergeant approach. In Gansler I saw a gentleman coach. A coach who believed respect from the players should be earned and not taken for granted. Never in his long career did I see him scream at his players, abuse or even criticize referees � or hold a grudge against his critics. He was proof that nice guys do not finish last and that high-volume isn't the best way to convey a message. "The louder you speak, the less you're heard," Gansler once said. "When you're whispering, you've got their attention." (Mike Woitalla, the executive editor of Soccer America, coaches youth soccer for East Bay United in Oakland, Calif.

No ties-last team to score wins! 11:40-11:45 a.m. announce that tomorrow is best soccer t-shirt day (encourage them to make their own) Soccer focus: Dribbling and fast footwork Station #1 Dribbling Players all have their ball and dribble. Players are told that when the word "stop" is heard, they should be no closer than 5 yards from the next player. Increase the distances. Progress to introducing the "skill of the day" Skill of the night will be "The Brazilian" (dribbling move) Character focus: Integrity (honesty) Station #2 Backyard Game-Yard Dribble Players are given vests, cones, etc. to lay on the ground. Players are instructed to dribble to each vest performing different turns, moves, etc. as they approach each object on the ground. Integrity is also introduced in this lesson. Players will be asked to go around, by, next to a specific number of objects. They need to be honest when asked if they have achieved the number desired by the coaches. This is also an opportunity to discuss the importance of being honest even when an objective is not reached. Station #3 3v1 Dribble Make a square of 10x10. Three players each have a ball. One player does not. The one player that does not have a ball tries to touch someone's ball with their feet. When they have touched it three times, they then get the player's ball. See which player gets their ball touched the least (integrity). Station #4 Three and out Players are in groups of three. One player is in goal. The other two play against each other 1v1. When one of the field player scores three goals, they are now the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper now plays against the other field player. Tuesday-Passing 9:30-10:00-Welcome, Introduce skill of the day (staff demonstration), and vote for craziest t-shirt. 10-10:45-Stations (see below)-divide groups and staff. Stations are 5-7 minutes each 10:45-11:30 Small Sided tournament-Divide into 3v3 or 4v4 teams. Play 8 minute games. No ties-last team to score wins! 11:30-Noon-"Big" Sided teams Announce that tomorrow will be the best soccer hat day! Station #1 Passing "Bridges" Players get with a partner. One player has a ball, the other does not. The player without the ball goes and stands with their legs apart. The player with the ball dribbles around and then passes the ball between the standing player's legs. Standing players are allowed to, after a period of time, criss cross (like a jumping jack) to make it more challenging. Progress to the Skill of the day which is "the perfect push pass" Station #2 Backyard Game-Soccer Golf Players spread out objects, cones, vests, etc. Players can play in pair or individually. Players are instructed to pass the ball and either hit the object or have it stop completely on a vest. Players keep their own score and challenges. Station #3 "Storm The Castle" This is a small sided game of 3-4 players each. Each team has objects to try and knock down. When they are successful they get a point. The team with the most points wins. Respect is now introduced. The players will be asked how they felt after they lost. Teams shake hands after each round and say "good game". Station #4 "The Bikini Bottom" This can also be the contest of the day as well. Players line up on an end. When coach says "go", the players pass the ball using only one touch and try to get the ball to a designated line without going over. The player who has their ball closest to the line without going over wins. Play Gold, Silver, and Bronze for each round. Vary the distances. Wednesday-Finishing 9:00-9:15 a.m.-Welcome, Introduce skill of the day (staff demonstration), and vote for craziest t-shirt. 9:15-9:30 a.m.-Warm-up (Vince) 9:30 a.m.-10:15 a.m Contest of the day-Distance shooting. Divide by age group. 10:15-10:55 a.m. Small Sided tournament-Divide into 3v3 or 4v4 teams. Play 8 minute games. No ties-last team to score wins! Announce that tomorrow will be the best soccer ball day! Soccer focus: Striking the ball Station #1 Divide team into two teams. Each team goes to a half. Use an odd number of balls, like 5. The objective of the game is to strike the ball into the other team's yard. Each team wants to have a clean yard when time is called by the coach. The team that has the fewest balls on their side when time is called gets a point. Play to a certain amount of points or for time. Variation: Require a pass to be made to a teammate before the ball can be struck back to the other half. Responsibility theme is addressed. Players are asked how responsible they are at home and why it is important to help out by being responsible at home. Example: cleaning your yard at home, room, etc. Character focus: Responsibility Station #2 Backyard Game-Goal to Goal Two-Three players can play this game. Each player sets up a goal with cones, towels, etc. Two players play against each other. The game is very simple. Each player gets to shoot at the other player's goal. Each player is in goal with the only rule is that you can't use your hands to stop the ball.. Station #3 Get Outta Here! On team attack the left goal, and the others the right goal. If a ball goes over a sideline or end-line everyone is "outta there"! If a team scores they stay on and the other team swaps two players in ASAP. The coach throws balls in quickly as possible as demanded by the game. The coach doesn't say anything when throwing balls in, they control who is out! Progressions: Play 1 v 1 then 2 v 2 Station #4 Numbers Set up is like Station #3. Coach calls a number and the number called determines how many players run on the field and score. The players run around the goal they are defending first and then enter the field. The coach plays a ball in as they are rounding the goal. Thursday-Coach's Choice 9:30-10:00-Welcome, introduce jugging (staff demo) and vote for best soccer ball! 10:00-10:45 a.m. "Soccer Dance" (see below) 10:45-11:30-Small Sided tournament-.
