In 1981, at the height of the Cold War, Ronald Reagan was inaugurated president of the United States. He immediately heightened tensions using belligerent rhetoric attacking the Soviet Union as "The Evil Empire" while authorizing an enormous military buildup against "the focus of evil in the modern world."
A significant number of Americans were worried about the harsh negatives of the Reagan initiatives. One manifestation was the Nuclear Freeze Movement that sought to decrease tensions as well as the nuclear buildup by limiting all nuclear arsenals at current levels as a first step toward their eventual elimination.
Reagan showed his annoyance criticizing "the placard carriers", giving little credence to the groundswell of support for the freeze campaign that swept America in 1981 – 82. This grass-roots uprising was a major factor behind Reagan's March 1983 speech that initiated the missile defense program (SDI) that continues to waste billions of dollars in the military budget.
Among the protesters supporting the Freeze was Columbia University senior Barack Obama, who in 1983 published a plea in a campus newsmagazine for "a nuclear free world" opposing SDI and military industrial interests "with their billion-dollar erector sets."
Reagan's attachment to the concept of missile defense started a very expensive research program that has produced meager results while leading to continued wrangling with non-communist Russia over their installation in Eastern Europe. Reagan's SDI simply will not defend against a sophisticated missile equipped with decoys.
Obama recently announced that he was cancelling the missile defense shield installations in Poland and Czech Republic. He has been severely and incorrectly criticized by military hawks for this "unilateral" concession, but it wasn't unilateral and it was a deal, not a concession The SDI system was always a bargaining chip and Obama was the first president who knew how to use it.
1. Russia allows U.S. military flights over its territory, planes carrying soldiers and equipment to Afghanistan.
2. Russia allows Kyrgyzstan to give the U.S. an important military base on the Russian border.
4. Russia promises that it will not help Iran develop an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the U.S.
6. Russia acquiesces in the expansion of U.S. influence in the Ukraine.
These are the Russian concessions we know about. There may be more. The media has failed to make the connection and to evaluate their importance in the continuing U. S. wars in Southeast Asia. At the same time, this change in U.S. policy gives a significant political victory to Russian leaders Putin and Medvedev, strengthening their positions at home and around the world.
When will Obama take political advantage of his coup? Probably during his 2012 reelection campaign when his record will be before the electorate and he will boast of his accomplishments on health-care and obtaining Russian cooperation. At the same time, Obama has fulfilled the promise he made at Columbia in 1983 to change policy on missile defense and to work for a world without nuclear weapons. Obama has proven that he knows how to play political hardball-at least with the Russians.

Women Wednesdays: Composer/Musical Director Georgia Stitt Releases An Album & Finds Quarantine A Time To Reflect On Her Art & New Projects As Well
Although not planned this way, the release of Georgia Stitt's album, "A Quiet Revolution" probably could not have been at a better time with music lovers having the time to sit down and reflect on music during the quarantine. As a kid, "Un-Block The Music" read every liner note and voraciously dissected and listened to each note of every song over and over again. Today, the music experience is so different. No one buys albums, they download the song for free and they run. Georgia's album is meant to be inhaled.
While you don't need to be a theater lover to enjoy the songs, it is a great big plus to have this who's who of talent performing your songs. That talent includes names most everyone will recognize like Sutton Foster, Jeremy Jordan and Laura Benanti. Check out the link here for the complete list. https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Revolution-Georgia-Stitt/dp/B085KQ2N3V
Georgia told "Un-Block The Music" that she hadn't made an album in years. "I watched as the music industry was changing, and I couldn't figure out how you could spend the money to make an album and make your money back when nobody is buying albums anymore. Then years went by and I thought no one knows my music anymore. There is no way to get my songs known unless I produce them and put them out into the world." So, in October, Georgia went through the catalog of songs she had written but hadn't recorded, and tried to figure out what statement she was trying to make about life and being herself right now.
"The album is the way I see the world," Georgia commented. "There is something to be said for releasing an album and leaving a marker of who you were at that time in your life. At this time, we are being forced to reflect, and I am interested to see what art comes out after this; or just art about the pandemic but about who we are …reflecting inward and consider deeper parts of ourselves during this time."
While those who love Georgia's work think of her as a theater professional, and she is, of course, but it didn't start out that way. "I very much wanted to be a musician. I didn't grow up thinking I wanted to be in theater. I played piano, studied composition, was in the marching band. I went away to summer music camps. I learned a lot of instruments." It wasn't until later in high school that she got her first theater jobs. It was when she worked in summer stock that she realized making a living in theater is possible.
Georgia earned her Master's Degree at New York University. She was in the musical theater writing program, and part of that was a lab. That meant every Tuesday and Thursday you presented music you wrote to the class. Georgia was one of two pianists in the class that could play anything, so she was often asked to play the work of her classmates. When she graduated, the faculty pointed her to two jobs back to back. One was Michael John LaChiusa's "Broken Sleep" at Williamstown Theater. The other job was for Polly Penn "who hired me to do a regional production of her show, 'Bed and Sofa'. That's all because of the way I was positioned at grad school. I think there is something about being young in the city and being willing to work for not a lot of money and not having a lot of overhead. You have to be willing to go out of town and do a job just for the experience After that first summer, I had these credits on my resume and had these composers looking out for me."
Georgia has assisted several great Broadway conductors and she continues to have colleagues who root for her like Marsha Norman,( playwright, "night Mother"), Molly Smith (Artistic Director, Arena Stage) and Paul Gemighani (musical director) to name a few. "Then there is Mary-Mitchell Campbell (musical director, "Mean Girls"). We have spent decades having each other's back. Never had an actual mentor, more like many allies," she said.
With that in mind, Georgia is on the Board of Directors for The Lilly Awards, advocates for women in theater https://the-lillys.org/), and she of course founded Maestra. This organization provides support, visibility, and community for the women who make the music in the musical theater industry. Our membership is made up of female-identifying, non-binary, and gender non-conforming composers, music directors, orchestrators, arrangers, copyists, rehearsal pianists and other musicians who are an underrepresented minority in musical theater. (https://unblockthemusic.blog/2020/04/09/maestra-music-a-free-source-to-find-creative-women-collaborators-in-theater/)
Georgia founded Maestra because she felt "a lot of women musicians are invisible." She is successful, but, in many cases, while she was lucky enough to be considered for a job, "I was often the only woman on this list. Historically, women are the ones who lift up other women and pull them forward. There is the whole idea of being there and holding the door open for other women instead of the feeling they are your competition. However, that only works if there are women in power in the first place. I can tell you that until recently every commission I received was from a female producer or director. I just got my first one from a man a few months ago."
The first meeting of Maestra came right after the Presidential Election, and they incorporated in January 2019. "I have been really proud of our organization. We had our fundraiser scheduled for March 30, then Broadway and the country shut down. It took us some time to understand the scope of it. We thought at first, we might not have to cancel. And, now here we are in May and looking at a Broadway shutdown through summer. We had to pivot really quickly."
Georgia said, Maestra began to offer online workshops every Tuesday and Thursday, and in the summer, they are going to be every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. "The workshops are free online, but we encourage donations of 10-15 dollars if you can. If you can't, you are still welcome. This is an opportunity to learn from someone who is an expert in her field." Check out the offerings at: https://maestramusic.org/
"Un-Block The Music" asked Georgia what else she been working on during the shutdown and what's on her bucket list. "Hunter Foster and I are writing a musical and are online with each other twice a week. I am also working on a big oratorio for choir, soloists and musicians." And, she has already started working on her next album. "I recorded 5 songs before we went into quarantine, and I am writing the rest now. As soon as we are allowed back in the recording studio, we can finish it."
Georgia is always striving. A main goal is to have one of her shows produced in New York. "I don't sit here in my office and think…wow I am so successful. I am here every day trying to move forward and also make more spaces available for my colleagues. For now, I just want to be in the rehearsal room again. I enjoy the process!"

Wherever you are celebrating Syttende Mai, I wish you a great day. To mark the occasion, I baked you a cake. It's called Verdens Beste, or World's Best, which may seem like quite a claim unless you've tasted it. With a foundation of cake and a topping of meringue, and filled with creamy custard, it's like a cross between a sheet cake, layer cake, and meringue all in one. Originating from the northern Norwegian town of Kvæfjord, it's also known as Kvæfjordkake. Despite its plain appearance (nothing that a few vibrant strawberries can't liven up), it's a cake worthy of a celebration. Enjoy!
Start by making the custard, as it will need to cool while you work on the other steps. Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy saucepan, then remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl until they become light and fluffy and start to thicken. Gradually add the milk, pouring in just a little at a time to temper the eggs, and mix well before adding a little more. Do this until all the milk is added (take care to not use too fast of a speed so that the mixture becomes frothy; if it does, you'll just want to use a larger saucepan for the next step and patiently stir until the custard forms). Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. In a small bowl, mix the potato starch flour with a little bit of water until it dissolves. Heat the egg mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, and slowly pour the potato starch flour in. Stir until the custard thickens, taking care to not let it come to a boil. Transfer the custard to another container and chill.
Preheat oven to 355 degrees and prepare an 8-by-12-inch pan by lining it with parchment and greasing it.
To make the bottom cake layer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then start adding the egg yolks, one at a time, until well mixed. Sift together flour and baking powder, and begin to add it to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the milk. Spread this batter in the bottom of the pan, using a spatula to evenly cover the bottom of the pan and create a smooth surface.
Prepare the meringue topping by beating the egg whites until stiff then gradually adding the sugar and beating until stiff and glossy. Turn the meringue out onto the first layer and spread it around evenly, using a spatula to create a smooth surface. Sprinkle the almonds over the top, and then bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Check the cake beforehand and rotate if needed to create a consistent topping. Remove from oven and let cool.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the filling. Whip the cream until firm, and then fold into the chilled custard until incorporated.
Remove the cake from the pan and slice in half horizontally so that you have two layers. Carefully remove the top layer and set aside; the meringue will crack easily, so slide your hands under it and transfer it as carefully as possible. A little cracking is okay, but do take care. Transfer the bottom layer to your cake tray and then spread the filling over it. Replace the top layer, giving it the same care as when you removed it. Refrigerate until you're ready to serve the cake. Serve with any assortment of fresh berries.
Serves a lot! You could probably serve as many as 12 people with this cake.
Thanks for sharing-I own a Lefse Bakery and your post will be an addition to my web.
Daytona, you do have the correct and official recipe now, with the correct instructions. Why not use it?
You are right! Thank you for sharing it with me. 🙂 I have the recipe out my counter right now, actually, so I can make it later today. I'm excited to give it a try!

Q: npm scripts hang indefinitely on Concourse CI On Concourse, I am running integration tests where I run certain npm scripts. There is a particular script that build my backend/frontend and then proceeds to run the tests. However once the test is done (fail or succeed). the npm script does not stop. It doesn't error out and hangs indefinitely either when the tests fail or succeeds. I have run this script on a local machine and a local container and the npm script works fine. Only on Concourse, the script hangs forever.
To give more context to my setup here is a sample of the npm script which is run on the frontend
"ci:start:backend": "npm run --prefix ../emailservice/mock-service dev & npm run --prefix ../server-repo ci:start:server & sleep 3"

"ci:test:system": "npm run ci:start:backend && npm run build:dist:serve & sleep 90 && npm run test:browser:ci"

npm run ci:test:system is the main script that is run. What it does it will start running an email service, a server and the frontend all at once in order to run the tests. It is a messy way of doing things but it works for both local and in containers. This method has been done for similar tests for server testing and it is running on concourse fine.
The task of the pipeline can be seen below
# runs unit tests for frontend
  - name: run-tests
    plan:
    - get: frontend-repo
    - get: server-repo
    - get: emailservice
    - task: run-npm-tests
      privileged: true
      config:
        platform: linux
        image_resource:
          type: docker-image
          source:
            repository: jonoc/techradar-integration
        inputs:
          - name: frontend-repo
          - name: server-repo
          - name: emailservice
        run:
          path: sh
          args:
          - -exc
          - |
            mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb.log
            export SHELL=/bin/bash

            cd server-repo
            npm install --silent

            cd ../emailservice/mock-service
            npm install --silent

            cd ../../frontend-repo
            npm install --silent

            npm rebuild node-sass --silent
            npm run postinstall --silent
            npm run ci:test:system

Everything seems to be not out of the ordinary but concourse refuses to give a green or red build. I suspect it is due to the other scripts that are run forever but are hanging in the background and concourse does not want to end. However running npm run ci:start:backend in concourse will work fine, but running npm run test:browser:ci will hang forever which further adds confusion to whats the problem.
Concourse version:3.3.2
Deployment type (BOSH/Docker/binary):Docker
Infrastructure/IaaS:AWS/EC2
Browser (if applicable):Chrome
Did this used to work? Never

A: Are you sure that your resources are available in the tasks docker container?
You specify multiple inputs here
 - name: frontend-repo
 - name: server-repo
 - name: emailservice

But concourse requires you to specify a proper path for each input if you have more than one.
Try to hijack the task container after execution and check if the resources are available. You can also execute the script in the container, so you can debug it easier.
fly -t <your_target> hijack -j demo_job/demo_task

A: My issue is resolved by changing up my npm scripts. Turns out chaining npm run --prefix ../emailservice/mock-service dev & npm run --prefix ../server-repo ci:start:server & sleep 3 with the other scripts causes some issues on Concourse.
I modified the npm scripts to use npm-run-all and use the -r parameter to finish the script when my tests are done

A nursery was fitted out inside an existing Parisian building. The acoustician first made a diagnosis to check whether the built environment was compatible with the acoustic objectives. Then he issued specifications regarding the internal partitioning of the nursery and its acoustic treatment. To his consternation, the end user rejected most of his requirements. It quickly turned out that the one (valid) concern of the end user was safety. Therefore, the idea of properly insulating the various rooms as recommended by the available legal texts was considered preposterous, as the staff had to be able to hear anything untoward happening. The set of acoustical objectives and relevant prescriptions was modified accordingly.
Lesson Learned: Always check with the end user!
A new kindergarten school was built downtown. It featured 20 cm thick reinforced concrete floors and 15 cm concrete walls. The potentially noisy exercise rooms were located at one end of the building. The master idea behind the concrete construction was to benefit from the thermal inertia of the building. Therefore, acoustic absorption was provided in the rooms by means of absorptive elements under 60% of the upper floor. A full ceiling was applied in the corridors for both acoustic and architectural purposes. In addition, perforated or slotted wooden panels were used in some large spaces, such as the entrance halls and exercise rooms.

An option offense is an American football offensive system in which a key player (usually the quarterback) has several "options" of how each play will proceed based upon the actions of the defense. Traditionally, option-based offenses rely on running plays, though most mix in forward passes from an option formation as a change of pace.

In a typical option play, the quarterback can hand the ball to a running back who attempts to run up the middle (dive), fake a handoff and attempt to run forward (quarterback keeper), or pitch the ball to a trailing running back who runs towards the sideline (pitch). It is the quarterback who has the responsibility of deciding which option has the best chance of succeeding, a decision which is based on the defensive formation and the initial reactions of one or two specific defensive players, called "keys". A more recent wrinkle to the option offense are run-pass option plays (RPOs), in which the quarterback has the additional option of throwing a quick pass, again depending on a read of a key defensive player or two.

Because they are predominately run-based, a successful option offense can keep possession of the ball for long periods of game time, giving the opposing team less time to score and keeping the option team's defense well rested. However, because passing is not a strength of the system, it can be difficult for option-based teams to come back from a large deficit or to score quickly when needed.

The roots of the option attack go back over a century to the earliest offensive systems of the modern game, such as the T formation, Single-wing formation, and the Notre Dame Box which were all widely utilized in the early 1900s. By the 1970s, these older systems had evolved into the Wishbone offense, an option-based attack that dominated college football for over a decade along with its Flexbone variant. Though few college teams and no professional teams currently employ the option as their primary offensive system, elements of the scheme are used in the modern spread offense and in the run-pass option and read option plays which many coaches at all levels have incorporated into their playbooks.

Types

An option offense is any football scheme that relies on option running plays as its cornerstone. There are a variety of such schemes. Some of the most popular versions include:

 Wishbone option offense The wishbone offense, whose introduction to Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) college football is credited to Emory Bellard, is named after its base formation of a quarterback, a fullback aligned four to five yards behind the quarterback, and two halfbacks aligned on each side of the fullback and one yard to two yards deeper. The result is a backfield alignment that resembles the shape of a wishbone. Also called the triple-option, this base formation allows three basic running options: the fullback receiving the handoff, the quarterback pitching to either halfback, or the quarterback running the ball himself. While the wishbone's success reached its zenith in the 1970s, it remains popular at the high school and small college level but is nearly extinct at major college programs.
 Wing T offense The traditional "wing T" offense employs many of the concepts of the wishbone offense. It often employs three running back formations, especially in the Bay City version of the offense. The wing T helped change the game of football in its formative years, and changed the traditional role of the quarterback from a blocker much like a modern fullback in the classic "single wing", to the primary distributor of the ball. As the triple-option became prominent, the wing T quickly incorporated the veer into its arsenal. In conjunction, it tends to employ significantly more misdirection running plays. The traps, crosses, fakes, pulls, sweeps, and counters that characterize the wing T are often supplemented by a heavy dose of option runs—most notably the veer triple option. The veer is well suited to the wing T offense, especially the Delaware version. The Delaware version of the wing T, with its predominant two running back sets, gained significant prominence in the late 1970s and early 1980s and was most notably employed by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish during the Parseghian era. It continues to be employed by high schools and small college teams.
 Flexbone option offense  The "Flexbone" was invented by Emory Bellard at Mississippi State in 1979.  It was called the "Wingbone", a variation of the Wishbone Bellard originally invented. A variant of the wishbone offense, the flexbone came to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s. The flexbone offense varies from the wishbone in a few fundamental ways. First, and most notably, the flexbone replaces the halfbacks that are aligned in the backfield of a wishbone with one or two "wingbacks" or "slot backs," that align off-tackle or off-end. These "hybrid" players are typically very quick and must be adept at running, blocking (particularly cut blocking), and receiving. Because of their positioning, they can more easily facilitate the passing game in the flexbone and serve to stretch the defensive alignment laterally prior to the snap. Teams that employ this scheme tend to amass consistently high rushing averages. The name "flexbone" is somewhat controversial and usually reflects the school of thought from which the offense was born. Some practitioners, such as Air Force's famed former head coach, Fisher DeBerry, welcomed the name flexbone because the offense was seen as a modification of the traditional wishbone. Still others, such as Paul Johnson reject the moniker, preferring instead to call their systems, the "spread offense".  To these practitioners, the offense is more related to spread schemes such as the run and shoot, and simply uses the triple-option as a foundation instead of a dynamic passing game. The offense was actually born in the latter school of practitioners, with its origins attributed to Paul Johnson while at Georgia Southern in the mid-80s. He brought the system briefly to Hawaiʻi in the late '80s and then returned to Georgia Southern, which won a record six Division I-AA national titles and eight conference titles while using this offense. As traditional wishbone coaches sought to make their offenses more dynamic, they began to mimic the alignments of this "spread offense" and re-dubbed it the flexbone. The name has since stuck, most likely in order to prevent confusion with other spread offenses. By the late '90s, the flexbone was adapted by all three NCAA Division I-A military academies, where it provided strong statistical results. After bringing Navy to its greatest run of success in decades, Johnson brought the offense with him to Georgia Tech, where it has achieved great success.
 I-option offense Also known as the "Nebraska I-offense," this offense derives its name from its extensive use of the I formation with its vertical alignment of quarterback, fullback, and running back. Though balanced attacks from the I formation have been around for decades, the I-option gained extraordinary popularity with its employment by Tom Osborne at the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Using this offense, Osborne had outstanding success from the time of its introduction in 1980 until his retirement in 1997, including three national championships. His successor, Frank Solich, continued to have success with the offense until his departure in 2003. The I-option offense offered a more traditional balanced attack. At its core, the offense relies on a devastating combination of power running, the option, and play-action passing, which are easily run from the I-formation and its variations. The concept of a balanced offensive attack combined with the big play potential of the option enticed vast numbers of top-level college teams to include some components of the Nebraska I.
 Spread option offense  The spread option offense is a variant of the more generic "spread offense". It has found success and widespread employment in college and high school football. Essentially a hybrid of the traditionally pass-oriented spread offense, the spread option is based on the concept of defensive isolation. The offense "spreads" the defense by aligning in three-to-five receiver sets, using two or fewer running backs in the backfield and often setting the quarterback in shotgun. This spread forces the defense to defend more of the field and isolates its players in space. To exploit this, the offense employs double or triple option plays which further mitigates the athleticism of the defense and forces it to play their assignments. When used in combination with a consistent passing game, the spread option offense can yield strong results. The means by which option plays are run from the spread option offense vary greatly.

The most popular running play employed in the spread is the read option. This play is also known as the zone read, QB choice, or QB wrap. A type of double option, the read option is a relatively simple play during which the offensive line zone blocks in one direction, ignoring defensive personnel, while the quarterback makes a single read (usually of the backside defensive end or linebacker) and decides whether to keep the ball (if the backside defender crashes down) or to hand off to the back (if the defender indicates that he will cover the quarterback).

Others have found even more innovative ways to run the option from spread formations. Creative use of motioning schemes has enabled wide receivers and even tight ends to become ball carriers as evidenced by Wake Forest's version of the spread employed during the mid-2000s.  Rich Rodriguez is credited with inventing the zone read play run out of the shotgun formation. Other pioneers include Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, and UCLA coach Chip Kelly.

Option plays

At the heart of all option offenses is the option run. This relatively complicated running play may take on many forms. All option runs, however, rely on two common principles: Whereas the traditional running play typically designates the ballcarrier prior to the snap, the ballcarrier in a true option running play is determined by reading the defensive alignment or the actions of defensive players. This may occur at the line of scrimmage or after the ball is snapped. The second principle of the option run is that it must include two or more potential ballcarriers. These individuals each perform a predetermined route, or "track" that poses a unique threat to a defense. By threatening to attack the defense in multiple ways during the play based on the defense's own actions/alignment, the option run forces the opponent to maintain extraordinary discipline. Defenders must focus on their assignments, which stresses the defense and often mitigates its speed, size and aggressiveness. Consequently, option offenses are excellent for undersized teams.

Option runs
Option running plays are as numerous as the schemes that employ them. However, nearly all option running plays can be characterized as either a double option or triple option. This is determined by the number of choices available during the play.

Triple option: In these highly complex running plays, three potential ballcarriers are available. The triple option typically features three components: a "dive" track, a "keep" track and "pitch" track. In its most generic version, the inside/outside veer, the dive track is typically carried out by a running back. At the snap of the ball, this player attacks the line of scrimmage somewhere between the offensive tackles (or end in the outside veer) as designated by the type of triple option play. This player is often the first choice in the triple option. His goal is to quickly attack the defensive interior in order to either pick up yardage or freeze the defense and prevent their pursuit to the outside. This quick surge into the interior of the defense is traditionally called a "dive".  The quarterback determines whether to hand the ball to the fullback by reading a "dive key" - usually a defensive end. If the dive key does not try to tackle the running back the quarterback will hand the ball off to him. Alternatively, if the defender attempts to tackle the running back, the quarterback will keep the ball himself. This decision usually takes place while both the dive back and the quarterback are holding the football in an intricate exchange called the "mesh". On the keep track, the quarterback may run upfield for yardage or pitch the ball to another ballcarrier on the "pitch" track. This player is called the "pitch back" and the quarterback determines whether or not to pitch the ball by reading the "pitch key" - usually a linebacker or defensive back.

Double option: The double option is an effective cousin of the triple option. As the name indicates, the double option provides only two potential ballcarriers instead of three. Yet it often relies on speed, or misdirection to compensate for the reduction.

Read option:  Developed in the 1990s, this play is typically run out of the shotgun formation in a spread offense. The quarterback "reads" the defensive end on the side in which the play is designed to go. If the defensive end is playing outside the tackle after the snap of the ball, the quarterback hands the ball off to the running back, who runs up the middle, away from the end. If the defensive end moves inside at the snap, the quarterback fakes a handoff to the running back and runs the ball to the outside while the offensive tackle occupies the defensive end. Though simple in concept, the play can be very effective if linebackers and defensive backs do not quickly arrive to provide run support. To further pressure the defense, the play can also include an RPO component, which adds a quick pass to the QB's possible options depending on his read of the opponents' reactions.

This read option has been a staple of the college game since the early 2000s and has been successfully utilized by many mobile quarterbacks, most notably national championship winning QBs Vince Young at Texas, Tim Tebow at Florida, and Cam Newton at Auburn, among many other quarterbacks who found team and individual success running a variation of the spread option offense with an emphasis on read option plays.

NFL coaches are generally disinclined to utilize option-based plays very often, as they can result in their valuable quarterback taking hard hits while running the ball. The read option is more often used as an occasional change of pace, particularly against an aggressive defense that is focused on stopping the running back. Only a handful of professional teams with durable and mobile quarterbacks make the play a regular part of their offense, most notably the Baltimore Ravens, which used option concepts to set an NFL team rushing record in 2019 behind league MVP Lamar Jackson, who also set a new season record for rushing yards by a QB (1,206).

Run-Pass Option (RPO)

The RPO has become widely used in both college and professional football. While most previous option plays included several possible options for running the ball, most RPOs give the quarterback the possibility of handing off the ball, running it himself, or passing the ball. The "read" in an RPO is often based on the movement of a single defender, usually a linebacker or safety. If the quarterback reads the targeted defender as defending the run, he will pass.  If the read is the defender stays put or appears to be involved in pass defense, the quarterback can hand the ball to a running back or, in some versions, run the ball himself. The idea is to choose the option that gives the offense a numerical advantage.

Because the quarterback makes the decision to run or pass after the snap of the ball, the other offensive players' assignments are a mixture of those usually used during a run or pass play, with receivers going out on pass routes and the offensive line engaging in run blocking. However, because offensive linemen are not allowed to stray much beyond the line of scrimmage before a pass is thrown, the quarterback must quickly make a decision to throw or run before his team incurs a penalty.

Modern use
Option-based offenses are most frequently utilized in the high school and collegiate ranks. It is rarely used in the National Football League for several reasons, most importantly because quarterbacks often run with the ball themselves in option plays, resulting in frequent hits. Few professional coaches are willing to assume the increased risk of injury for the player who is usually the highest paid and most important player on the team.

Use in college football

Various option-based offenses were by far the most common in the early years of college football, and with several schools winning national championships with the new wishbone attack in the 1970s, the option offense enjoyed a renaissance during that decade and beyond. However, the wishbone's effectiveness waned as defensive schemes were designed to slow it down. By 2000, almost all major college programs had abandoned option attacks for "pro-style" offenses the utilized more passing and attract athletes who had aspirations to play in the NFL, where option offenses had fallen out of favor decades earlier.

While very few teams run pure option attacks, some option concepts and plays have been incorporated into newer offensive schemes in recent years. In the early 2000s, Urban Meyer and other coaches found success with the spread offense, which incorporates elements of an option-based running game while utilizing the shotgun formation and including much more of a passing game than a traditional option scheme. Meyer visited Kansas State University's Bill Snyder and learned the principles of his system.  These combine elements of the West Coast offense and the single wing with sorted elements of the flexbone and the wishbone. Meyer used his spread option offense with great success at Bowling Green, Utah, and Florida, where he won two national titles, and at Ohio State, where he won an additional national championship.

Meyer's version is based on the spread attack developed by then-West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez. Rodriguez earned "pioneer" status for incorporating wishbone principles, such as the zone-read and option pitches, into the primarily passing-oriented spread offense.  However, it is unclear whether Rodriguez developed the system, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder developed the zone-read philosophy with QB Michael Bishop in the late 1990s, or whether the two coaches coincidentally developed the system at the same time.

The option remains popular at mid-major levels as well. The Appalachian State Mountaineers, who won three consecutive titles in Division I FCS from 2005 through 2007, rely on the spread option offense. Additionally, the Cal Poly Mustangs achieved success with its flexbone-style option offense under former head coach Rich Ellerson, who has since installed the offense at Army. Lenoir–Rhyne played for an NCAA DII National Championship in 2013 running the flexbone.  Carson–Newman, Eastern New Mexico, and Harding have had a great deal of success running the triple option at the NCAA Division II level.

Option offenses are considered to be "equalizers" on the playing field – allowing less athletic teams to compete with larger and faster defenses, particularly since there are few teams that run the scheme and defensive players and coaches may not be adept at stopping it. Appalachian State proved this theory by defeating the heralded Michigan Wolverines at Michigan Stadium during the 2007 NCAA season. In 2013 Georgia Southern (FCS at the time) defeated Florida and in 2015 Citadel (FCS) defeated South Carolina.

Option offenses remain very popular among the United States service academies, who do not always have the specialized personnel required to successfully run a pro-style offense against top college competition. The Navy Midshipmen, Army Black Knights, and Air Force Falcons each use option offenses. If run properly, an option offense should be able to gain 2-3 yards before the linebackers and defensive backs can identify who has the football and make a tackle. Due in part to this, Navy rarely punts the ball, which has led many Navy fans to jokingly refer to 4th down (normally a punting situation) as "just another down." Coach Paul Johnson was particularly effective using this offensive scheme, leading Navy to 43 victories between 2003 and 2007, and Navy led the nation in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in 2007. He left Navy for Georgia Tech after the 2007 season, where he continued to successfully run the option until his retirement in 2018.

Former Army coach Bob Sutton joked that the Army–Navy Game could be played in an hour because the game clock rarely stopped due to both teams running option schemes. After Sutton's firing, Army went away from the option in favor of a Pro Style attack under new head coach Todd Berry. After eight years of poor performance on the field (with a record of 17-76 from 2000–2007 including the only 0-13 season in NCAA history), Army returned to a flexbone triple-option scheme in the 2008 season. Many Army alumni pushed for a return to an option-based offense in hopes of regaining the success they saw under head coach Jim Young in the 1980s and early 1990s.  Under Young, from 1983–1990, the cadets went 51-39-1, including 3 bowl appearances. With the beginning of spring practice 2008, Army coach Stan Brock closed practices to the fans and media in order to install the new offensive scheme. In mid-April, the Times-Herald Record broke the silence and eased alumni concerns by announcing that Brock and Army would return to the triple-option offense for the 2008 season. Though Army improved statistically, they failed to achieve a winning season, and in December 2008, Army Athletic Director, Kevin Anderson announced Brock's dismissal after only two seasons. Later that month, the team welcomed famed Cal Poly head coach Rich Ellerson as the 36th head coach at West Point.  In his first season (2009) on the banks of the Hudson, Ellerson implemented his version of the option and led the Cadets to a 5-7 season. The team showed a marked improvement from the previous 10 years, missing a bowl game by one game.

The United States Air Force Academy also ran the option successfully under coach Fisher DeBerry, often having a run offense near the top of the NCAA. Falcons option quarterback Dee Dowis was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in 1989, setting an NCAA record for rushing by a quarterback, with 3,612 yards. The option helped the team win the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy 16 times, the most among the three major football-playing service academies.

Current Army head coach Jeff Monken has extensive experience running the option. Before taking over the Army program in December 2013 he served as head coach of Georgia Southern University. His experience working under Paul Johnson at Georgia Southern, Navy and Georgia Tech made him an attractive choice for the position.

Use in professional football

Until recently, the option has made rare appearances in the NFL. An article on the option play in the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia discussed why the option was not used as much in the pros.  While coaches agreed the option would work, the problem was the impact it would have on the quarterback. The quarterback would need to run more which means taking more hits, causing greater risk of injury. Starting in 2004, Michael Vick, Warrick Dunn and T. J. Duckett ran the option with a degree of success not seen in the NFL before.  In a December 2007 game against the New England Patriots, the New York Jets ran the option with quarterback Brad Smith, substituting Smith for starter Chad Pennington.

In the 2008 AFC championship, Ravens QB Joe Flacco ran a QB option tucking the ball for a 5-yard gain and a first down on crucial third down. The Ravens offense was known for mixing up its game plan, and although Flacco is not known for his speed, the deception employed by Baltimore allowed for Flacco to mix up plays successfully despite an AFC championship game loss.

In the 2009 season, the New York Jets ran the option numerous times, with Brad Smith. Each play produced positive yards. The Tennessee Titans also ran the option when Vince Young was re-installed as quarterback. In addition, the option helped Chris Johnson rush for 2,000 yards.

On October 9, 2011, the Carolina Panthers effectively ran the option twice against the New Orleans Saints. The first play was an option pitch from QB Cam Newton to RB DeAngelo Williams for a 67-yard touchdown. The second time, Cam Newton kept the ball and ran for 13 yards.

A month later, the Denver Broncos ran seventeen plays with Tim Tebow as quarterback and Willis McGahee as running back totalling 298 yards on the ground. The option was so effective that the Broncos played it almost exclusively in the fourth quarter of the 38-24 win over the Oakland Raiders, continued using it a week later in a 17-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, and again employed it a week later in an overtime win over San Diego. In that win over San Diego, Tim Tebow set an NFL record 22 rushing attempts by a quarterback in one game. The 2011 Denver Broncos, with Tebow at quarterback, have been the most successful team in the NFL to run a read-option offense.

The 2012 season saw more NFL teams adopt the option offense, the most prominent being the Washington Redskins, the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers. 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick rushed for 181 yards (an NFL single game record for a QB) on 16 carries using the read option out of the pistol formation vs. the Green Bay Packers in a Divisional Playoff game on January 12, 2013. As a team, the San Francisco 49ers rushed for 323 yards on 43 carries.

The 2013 season saw University of Oregon's head coach Chip Kelly move to the NFL to take the head coaching job for the Philadelphia Eagles.  At the start of the season, Michael Vick was named the starting QB and the read option was used with Vick's athletic ability to take advantage of running situations for the quarterback.  However, by the 6th week, Vick was injured and Nick Foles took over as starter.  Even though Foles had less running ability than Vick, the read option was continued and used successfully.  The theory that the read option can work even with pocket passers is that as long as the quarterback can get positive yardage, big gains are not necessary as it keeps the defense honest.

The Run-Pass Option (RPO) has become a more popular play used in the NFL.  This adds the passing element to the option offense. After the snap, the quarterback can decide whether to hand off, keep, or pass.

No NFL team truly bases their offense on the option, but the zone read and RPO's have become a staple in almost every team's playbook.

Desert Trip in Indio set with Dylan, Stones, more
FILE - In this Oct. 22, 2015, file photo, Paul McCartney performs at First Niagara Center, in Buffalo, N.Y. Goldenvoice announced Tuesday, May 3, 2016, that the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and the Who will perform during a three-day concert at the desert grounds where the annual Coachella music festival is held. (AP Photo/Gary Wiepert, File) (/ The Associated Press)
Almost since their inceptions in 1999 and 2007, respectively, the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals at the Empire Polo Club in Indio have drawn 20 percent of their annual audiences from San Diego County. Come October, we'll find out if classic-rock fans from San Diego will turn out in equal numbers for what is being unofficially billed as the "Concert of the Century" by some, "Oldchella" by others, and "Desert Trip" in promotional materials describing the three evening concerts.
No matter the name, the lineup for Oct. 7-9 outdoor concerts features a remarkable collection of classic-rock icons who have never before appeared at the same music event. The performance roster includes 1969 Woodstock veterans Neil Young and The Who, and two legendary acts - Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones - that have performed in recent years at San Diego's Petco Park. Rounding things off are Bob Dylan and former Pink Floyd mainstay Roger Waters.
The lineup for the concerts in Indio is as follows:

San Diego music fans unable to attend the three-day music fete in Indio have a few local alternatives. By coincidence, The Who will perform May 27 at Valley View Casino Center, while Dylan is performing two sold-out shows at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay in mid-June.
By coincidence, AEG/Goldenvoice, the producer of Coachella, Stagecoach and, now, Desert Trip, owns a controlling interest in Valley Vice Casino Center and exclusively books all shows at Humphreys. McCartney and Waters have both headlined previous editions of the Coachella festival, which typically draws about 100,000 people per day for each of its two concsecutive three-day weekends of music in April.
Hotel, shuttle and upscale camping packages are also available for the three-day concert in Indio, starting Monday at 10 a.m..
