GUEST BLOG: 'Finding football' – How the fickle finger of fate spawned a new City fan!
6th August 2019 By Guest Blogger 10 Comments
In the fifth part of his look at City in the 1990s, Martin MacBlain goes all Fever Pitch on us and tells of how a chat with some mates and a Match magazine combined to create a new Norwich City fan…
Why do we support football teams? For some, it's fostered upon us by peers in the playground, for others it's a generational thing. Passed down from one generation to the next, with each generation passing on the wisdom, knowledge and insight from their era to their offsprings.
In such ways, those in their 30s have a far more detailed knowledge than they should of Ron Saunders and 20-year-olds will know about the silver-haired maestro, Mike Walker.
And for some, it's about acceptance. Fitting in. And that was always why I thought I started supporting Norwich City.
Until that is, in 2002, I read Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby and I realised my falling in love with Norwich was for quite a different reason. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the novel, I'll very briefly summarise – it's about a teacher who loves Arsenal and coaches his school team to play in that way.
Yet there was a small paragraph in the first chapter that caught my eye. And for the first time I wondered, did I find Norwich or did Norwich find me?
'Hornby writes about being an Arsenal fan, about how it all started and became a coping mechanism for his parent's divorce and for his father to have a different means of communication with his young son. He writes about how he fell in love with football – 'suddenly, inexplicably, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain or disruption it would bring with it' – and how Arsenal began to dictate the ebbs and flows of the rest of his life. At a young age, Hornby's life became inextricably linked with that of the North London club and for a large part of his adolescence and twenties, he truly believed that the fortunes of both were connected, sometimes even hating the club for being an addiction he couldn't quite give up.'
Supporting Norwich City and being called a glory hunter is not a label that many Canaries fans have ever had to endure, yet I had made my decision after the end of the 1992/93 season.
I enjoyed football, watched with passing fascination the trials and tribulations of the English Italia 90 squad, wept with Gazza and could name three of Liverpool's players in total. And that was that.
I knew I had to have a team as everyone else did. So, I plumped for Norwich after seeing last season's league table and a third-place finish. Little had I realised that since leaving Aylsham in 1987, the club had been on an upward trajectory ever since. I should've shown my hand much earlier.
The aforementioned chapter in Fever Pitch discusses young football fans finding football as a replacement to fill a void in their lives. For Hornby, it was the divorce of his parents, yet for me, it was the death of my mother on May 23rd 1993.
Hornby makes the point that a child will try to absorb themselves in football after a traumatic event to help them engage and fixate on something. My fixation didn't quite manifest itself fully with the 1993/94 season – perhaps I wasn't quite ready for that void to be filled – but it certainly was in full flight by the time the 1994/95 season had come upon us.
Yet in the summer of 1993, Norwich City FC slowly, surely, systematically, began to fill that gaping hole.
The memory is as clear as day. The date escapes me, but the memory is still crystal clear. There I was siting with three mates. 13 years of age. 'I need to support a team'. 'Pass me a copy of Match magazine and let's choose someone'.
The magazine fell open onto the final table of the inaugural Premier League. Norwich in third? This was akin to a eureka moment, an epiphany if you will. Fate? Destiny?
I'd lived near Norwich. I knew the city. I knew the colours. My old mates supported Norwich. More importantly – I HAD A CONNECTION.
This wasn't just glory hunting. I actually had lived and grown up (1980-1987) in Norfolk. And here was a team who on the face of things were successful! I often reflect on that moment in time. What if Match magazine hadn't been there? What if I looked the season prior? Would I be a Leeds fan? *Shudders*
Although admittedly there have been many many different occasions in my life when I'd wished I'd just 'gone for Man United'. But the troughs of supporting Norwich have certainly made the peaks more enjoyable.
On the walk home on that fateful afternoon, I set about (with the help of a Dan, a Yeovil town supporting friend) learning the names of our 1993/94 squad.
Sutton – easy.
Fox – easy
Gunn – easy
Bowen – easy
Butterwhat?
Culverwho?
And so I threw myself with aplomb into the 1993/94 season. We didn't have SKY and my father rarely bought a newspaper, so following the fortunes of Norwich, at that age, was relatively hard. Snippets here and there in a monthly copy of Match magazine was all I could get my hands on. And it was in such fashion that I learnt of our 3-3 draw with Swindon, Gunn's red card against Liverpool and losing 5-4 to Southampton.
We'd started the season so well. Two losses in our first 15 matches would appear to indicate that we were carrying on from last season's heroics. Sutton was quickly out of the blocks, ditto Fox and a resplendent Jeremy Goss would go on to enjoy the season that defined him. (Incidentally – I heard him co-commentate against Toulouse the other day – a great summariser).
The only game I actually sat and watched that season was the 2-0 loss to Man Utd in the FA Cup and that was only as it was televised on the BBC.
As a club supporting novice, I wasn't really up on European matches, relegations etc, all I knew was that we were in Europe and it seemed to be capturing the nation's hearts.
I had absolutely no idea we'd even played Vitesse once, let alone twice. I have a hazy memory of semi-watching one of the Bayern legs on TV (I think the first, as I was pleased we were winning) and my only recollection of the Inter match (there were two?) was in so far as it was during the school day and my mate skived off to go home and watch it. He didn't even support Norwich.
MIKE WALKER LEAVES
This was the first moment of loss in supporting Norwich and the stark realisation that nothing in football ever stays the same. Nothing had changed since I 'chose' my team. Yet here was the manager, 'walking away' if you'll pardon the pun. But why?
He'd just finished third, had an incredibly successful European run and was sitting in a not too shabby league position by the time January came about. This 13-year-old boy simply couldn't process the loss.
(I would later learn he simply wanted to be paid more. 'Remuneration' was the word that kept cropping up on my season review video…)
But we had kept the squad intact and, hopefully, John Deehan could replicate the form we had shown and we could crack on with getting back to business.
A month later and Ruel Fox was gone. £2.25 million to Newcastle. And the inevitable taunts in the schoolyard started. 'Lost your manager'. 'Losing your best player'. Groan. This wasn't what I had signed up for. At least we still have Chris Sutton – that talismanic striker – grabbing the goals and the headlines.
By the time I was getting up to speed up with the rest of the players, new manager and results, it was the last game of the standing Kop. Now bear in mind that this was the era when every school kid supported Liverpool. I patiently waited to watch MOTD and then watched with absolute delight as we totally dismantled Liverpool. Efan Ekoku could have had three! What a season and what a goal from Gossy! My turn for taunts on Monday in school.
And then it was over as swiftly as it had begun. The season where both us as fans (and the players) genuinely believed we could qualify for (and compete within) Europe with something approaching regularity.
Hindsight is a wonderful trait, albeit one that can you toss you up and spit you out. But just imagine where we'd be now if Robert Chase had have had the same mindset and approach as Stuart Webber in that glorious summer of 1993…
I'd love to know how you, as readers, came to support Norwich City.
Did you find the club? Or did it find you?
Filed Under: Column, Guest blogger
Sitting here under the Big One Roller coaster on Blackpool seafront waiting for my 4year old granddaughter this was an enjoyable read.
Unlike most my family didn't do sport in general so my only escape was Roy of the Rivers and other comics that had sporting hero's in them.
Getting to city games with school friends from the age of 8/9 was hit and miss, and what really started my love of the game was the 2 FA Cup finals in 61/62 and 62/63 both won by the great Spurs double side.
After than all my paper round money would go to getting to city games then the brilliant 66 World Cup win.
First season ticket was around 68 which I finally gave up in 81 as I moved north and with a growing family could really afford it.
I suppose most city supporters have a second team mine has always been Spurs and like our beloved city never reached full potential.
martin penney says
Spurs have always been my second team too as I've often referred to in my scribblings.
I must have gone to White Hart Lane something approaching 100 times.
As you so rightly say it's all about your location. For a 15-y-o living in Chadwell Heath with a West Ham supporting family it was impossible for me to get to the Carra unless my parents "holidayed" near Brisley, when one of Florrie Frost's sons would always happily take me to a game.
It was only when I moved to Blofield in 1988 that I got my first ST – that makes it 31 not out now.
Sorry for the cricket reference. I know. We all feel a bit down this morning.
I guess we have to say fair dinkum though.
Yeah cricket was a right bummer yesterday but I have 1 argument on that one how well would they have done if we had a fully fit attack in Anderson.
It is about time that if a player is injured and can't take a full part in the game then he can be replaced, but I suppose the Aussie would abuse the system.
Fair Dincum all round
Martin MacBlain says
Yes, bringing in Archer could have made the difference. Although I suspect it was the loss of the coin toss that scuppered us.
Moeen next out?
Will we see the return of Alex Hales, will Root return to number 4, and will city get all the rumoured players in😱😱😱
Surely you might have opted for the mighty Chadwell Town FC…?
ID was a favourite film of mine as an impressionable 17 year old.
Cannock canary says
Under the Big One in Blackpool used to be a USA diner called Coasters that i had the misfortune to be the manger of back in the early 90's
As for the Canaries, there was only 1 team to support when choosing a team in the early 70's . They had World Cup winners and just seemed to be the only choice.
Thankfully my Saham Toney grandmother had better ideas and pointed ( well perhaps pushed ) me in the right direction.
Cheers Gran and may you forever rest in peace, it could have been oh so much worse
Grandmothers are great! Always there with advice and in your case, excellent pointers!
You must have had a few nights in the Star pub, alas gone now and a new hotel called the Boulevard has taken that ccorner up.
SC says
I'd have to say it was mutual. I lucked into a trip and ticket – my first experience with English football. As an overwhelmed American teenager still finding my way in the new country in which I'd live for almost five years, my first experience at Carrow Road was life-changing. This was not the "soccer" I'd known in the States – this was proper football. It was so exciting and being part of the crowd -despite not yet knowing the words to On The Ball City- was beautiful and so intense. Thirty years on, faithfully trying to follow even in the primordial pre-internet days, now with City having earned promotion but faltering in its identity at the minute, I felt compelled to reaffirm my faith in Norwich. I don't have a "standby" or second English team, and never will. I'll also never forget that first home match, and will always appreciate Norwich City finding me! OTBC

Q: Bulk Insert problem I have a stored procedure that makes bulk insert from some file:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_BulkInsert] @FileName NVARCHAR(200) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @bulkinsert NVARCHAR(1000)

SET @bulkinsert = N'BULK INSERT TblTemp FROM ''' + @FileName +
       N''' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '','', ROWTERMINATOR = ''\n'')'

EXEC sp_executesql @bulkinsert

RETURN @@ROWCOUNT
END

This stored procedure runs fine when I run it from SQL Server Management Studio, but when I try to run it with ExecuteNonQuery of ADO.NET I get the following error:

"The INSERT permission was denied on the object 'TblTemp', database
  'TempDB', schema 'dbo'."

Important: all other stored procedures (that make SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE) run fine from ADO.NET.
The user under which all the things are run is a member of the bulkadmin role, and also a member of a custom db_executer role (that has just EXECUTE permission).
The code runs fine for a lot of stored procedures, it's a first time that it fails..
This is the function
public static int BulkInsert(string fileName)
{
    SqlParameter paramFileName = new SqlParameter("FileName", fileName);
    SqlParameter paramRetValue = new SqlParameter();
    paramRetValue.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;
    SqlParameter[] @parameters = { paramFileName, paramRetValue };
    SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(ConnectionSettings.ConnectionString,
    CommandType.StoredProcedure, "SP_BulkInsert", parameters, true);

    return (int)paramRetValue.Value;
}

I logging into the SSMS with the same username/password that are in the connection string on ADO.NET side..
The bottom question is, why in Management Studio the stored procedure succeed, while via ADO.NET it fails (with the above error message).

A: Running SQL via the sp_executesql uses different permissions than directly in the stored procedure.  I would advise checking that the user which you are running the stored procedure as has (in this instance) INSERT permissions against the table "TblTemp".
To do this in Sql Server Management Studio...

*

*expand the list of tables

*right click on the appropriate one and select properties

*on the "permissions" tab, click the "Add..." button.

*Either type in the user or role, or "Browse..." for it.

*with the user or role selected in the top table, tick "Grant" in the appropriate permissions in the "Explicit permissions for {username/role}"

*click OK

A: The Management Studio must be running on the sa account which has all privileges, but the user that you are connecting through ADO.NET may not have the correct privileges set. You need to give the users writing permissions through the Management studio. Look in the users list.

Energy State aid: Commission's evaluation hints at possible areas for future reforms
On 30 October, the Commission published the results of its evaluation of a suite of State aid rules adopted mainly between 2012 and 2014, as part of its State aid Modernisation package.
This included a review of the Energy and Environmental Aid Guidelines (EEAG). The EEAG govern the acceptable form and level of subsidies member states can grant to promote common EU energy and climate objectives such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and security of supply.
The EEAG expire at the end of 2021. The Commission will be consulting over the coming year on their reform.
Changes will be required to bring the EEAG into line with wider EU legislation, including the Clean Energy Package approved under the last Commission and the Green Deal package being developed by the current Commission. In its evaluation, the Commission has also raised questions regarding the effectiveness of current system of relief offered to energy-intensive industrial consumers from levies used to finance support for renewable energy. These levies are typically paid in full by other consumers.
Frontier regularly works with a range of clients on State aid issues in the energy sector, from mechanisms to ensure security of supply in the power sector to support mechanisms for low carbon hydrogen and relief from energy-related costs for industrial consumers. We've also recently set out thoughts on how the EU energy and climate policy framework (including that for State aid) could adapt to ensure better incentives for low-cost decarbonisation, by ensuring a holistic "whole energy system" approach, including for the structure of levies and network charges faced by consumers.

LAMP During COVID and Beyond - A Fast-Growing Technology With a Wide Range of Applications
Article Nov 23, 2020 | By Nathan Tanner, New England Biolabs
Credit: Pixabay
DNA amplification is an indispensable technique used in molecular biology laboratories, with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) being the most popular method. The core principle of PCR is the use of high heat to separate strands of DNA, followed by cooling to a lower temperature to allow a DNA polymerase enzyme to copy the separated strands. The reaction cycles through these steps many times - denaturation, annealing and extension – and it requires precise and rapid temperature change, enabled by sophisticated laboratory instrumentation. However, in some instances where DNA amplification is required, there are time-sensitive or location-specific aspects to a study that make transport of samples to a laboratory undesirable. Therefore, the need for a simpler method of nucleic acid amplification became apparent – not in place of traditional PCR, but as an option for use in a broader range of settings.
In response to this need, researchers developed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), a powerful method for amplifying a target sequence of DNA or RNA in a single tube, at a single temperature, compatible with various simple detection methods.
To recognize the regions of the target sequence, LAMP uses four to six primers, two of which are designed to create self-hybridizing loop structures that form a dumbbell and create numerous sites for synthesis initiation. The high specificity and sensitivity of the primers lead to exponential amplification that can be detected in less than 30 minutes.
With the development of engineered strand-displacing DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases, LAMP can be performed outside the walls of a laboratory; in fact, the entire reaction takes place at 65°C and can be carried out in a cup of hot water. However, field-based analysis also requires a simplified method of detection. For this reason, scientists developed a viable solution – a pH-based colorimetric detection, which utilizes a pink-to-yellow color change that is visible to the naked eye.
During amplification, a proton is released with every deoxynucleoside triphosphate added into the growing DNA strand, leading to a decrease in the pH. Incorporating a pH indicator into the reaction mixture enables colorimetric detection, thereby eliminating the need for specialized detection methods, which are not practical in point-of-care and field settings.
The power of LAMP during a pandemic
During a global pandemic, rapid, widespread testing for the infectious agent is critical. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is the standard for diagnosing acute infections, and testing is typically conducted in authorized labs that can perform high-complexity tests. However, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific community saw the need to develop faster, alternative testing approaches beyond the traditional clinical laboratory.
The minimal instrument requirements and portability of colorimetric LAMP have huge potential as a disease-screening method because of the low cost, rapid results and ease-of-use in a broad range of settings. During the initial phases of the pandemic, scientists demonstrated the ability of a colorimetric LAMP assay to quickly detect RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the respiratory swabs of confirmed infections from patients in Wuhan, China (Figure 1). After that initial report, numerous groups have taken advantage of LAMP to expand COVID testing worldwide. Use has been demonstrated in high-throughput testing labs and simple, mobile collection directly from saliva or swab samples. As we continue to need more and broader testing, these approaches utilizing LAMP can supplement the traditional PCR testing paradigm and aid in the fight against COVID.
Figure 1: SARS-CoV-2 detection from COVID-19 patient samples in Wuhan, China. Samples testing positive (1-6) or negative (7) with commercial RT-qPCR tests were assayed using colorimetric LAMP assay with primer set targeting ORF1a (A) and GeneN (B). Yellow indicates a positive detection after 30 min incubation, and pink a negative reaction with results compared to the negative control (N). B, Blank control without template. P, samples containing a plasmid used as positive control for qPCR. Credit: Zhang et al. Rapid molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus RNA using colorimetric lamp. medRxiv. 2020. doi:10.1101/2020.02.26.20028373
The future potential of LAMP as a field-based tool
The value of colorimetric LAMP lies in its simple and inexpensive application in tropical disease settings, which are not typically PCR-friendly. For example, dengue is one of the top-ten global health threats and the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne disease. More than 2.5 billion people live in dengue-transmission subtropical regions, according to the World Health Organization.
Dengue cannot replicate in mosquitoes that carry the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis, so the World Mosquito Program (WMP) embarked on a massive effort to stop transmission of dengue (and other vector-borne viruses) by disseminating Wolbachia-containing mosquitoes. However, scientists had to first identify the mosquitoes that carried Wolbachia. They could do this using colorimetric LAMP technology – within 30 minutes and through a simple color change.
Screening mosquitoes in the field using colorimetric LAMP is inexpensive compared to the typical qPCR assay. It avoids the lengthy process of transporting samples back to a specialized laboratory for analysis. Results are in real-time, and this improves accuracy regarding the geographical localization of the Wolbachia-containing mosquitoes.
These field-friendly advantages can also be utilized for agriculture. Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) is a recently identified virus that infects grapevines across North America, resulting in a reduction in yield and quality. Characteristic leaf changes (i.e., red blotches) can be easily observed. Yet, visual detection alone is not reliable, which is why diagnostic testing is required. Sample testing using a colorimetric LAMP assay can take place onsite, which reduces the time and cost of screening GRBV when compared to traditional methods.
LAMP in space . . . and beyond
The first PCR assay was conducted in space in 2016 aboard the International Space Station (ISS). However, with the goal of extended space travel, there is a need for astronauts to analyze reactions without having to send samples back to Earth. That happened in March 2017, when colorimetric LAMP experiments, designed by a high school student as part of the Genes in Space contest, were conducted on the ISS to study changes in telomere dynamics while in outer space.
As part of the experiment, two assays were prepared on Earth and then carried out on the ISS: one using traditional PCR and the other using colorimetric LAMP. While the traditional PCR assays had to be transported back to Earth for analysis, the colorimetric LAMP assays were assessed on the ISS as they required only visual inspection to indicate successful amplification – photographing the tubes against a white piece of paper highlighted the simplicity of the methodology and its suitability for even one of the most extreme settings.
These examples illustrate the ability of colorimetric LAMP to bring nucleic acid amplification to new settings with a simple and inexpensive application. Colorimetric LAMP opens up opportunities for human health and medical diagnosis that, until recently, have not been possible due to the specialized requirements of traditional PCR. Any study environment where samples currently need to be transported from the field to a specialized lab is an opportunity to develop a colorimetric LAMP assay.
One Step Closer to CRISPR-Cas9 Cancer Therapies
Although not fully deterministic for the development of cancer, certain genes – such as the BRCA1 gene, are well known to be implicated and to significantly raise a person's cancer risk. Why is it then, that we have not heard more about CRISPR-Cas9 being developed for cancer therapies?

View Full Version : Will For Honor ever be an Esport?
Pretty much the title. I would love to try to compete.
It is on the right way but the balance still lacks a lot.
This has to be fixed, and then I don't see any other obstacle.
As long as there is stupid mechanics where we can get heavy of the GB, answer is no. If For Honor was a tv show it would be called Game of Cancel.
I believe they now have the game mode for it in breach if it is something like best of five with a duel to decide who chooses which side they run first and last if it goes to five. But first they need a few things, spectator mode, a round of reworks and I would say at least one large scale meta related patch which they have indicated they are working on.
They are lot closer to it than they were a year ago, the only other hindrance that I see is For Glory stopped acting as a competitive hub recently, someone else needs to pick up the slack there to get teams interested and involved.
Not with this crappy balance, thats for sure.
You really think there's an audience for it? People who will sit and watch players killing minions for two and a half hours? I can't see it. I imagine the mode would be as boring to watch as it is frustrating to play, but that's just my opinion. If the OP is asking if it will ever be an e-sport in the same way that SF and Tekken are then no, but I do think that Ubisoft share your belief that Breach will be their way in to the e-sports scene, I just happen to disagree.
Having seen the crowds for League of Legends and that teams can make their living from playing it, yeah, I believe it draws that crowd.
The LoL crowd will stick to watching LoL. FH will either draw its own crowd or not and I reckon it's likely not. Be interesting to see what develops if they do decide to push it that way though.
There is no way LoL crowd would be drawn to this.
Having been playing both LoL and FH, the tension those 2 games have are way too different. Most problem is based on FH promotes inaction/avoidance at the moment of engagement, which is the opposite in LoL.
Breach gameplay time majority is spent on running around and killing minions, which would be already boring to watch is probably intolerable now with current basic animations.
No it will not. The game is changed too often and there are too many bugs, exploits, and inconsistencies.
Now if they actually addressed the major issues like the light attack spam and finally got around to fixing the Defensive Meta then MAYBE, but as it stand right now? No.
There were always tournaments out there. Go and look for them. Maybe you can register for some and try that out.
me too. i think for honor is on the right way. but they should rework the weaker classes (shugo, nobu, pk …) right now.
Unbalanced game. Exploits. Bugs. Super factiosn. Don't think twice. It's a big NO.
I can't understand people, who find Breach frustrating to play. It's so better than Dominion.
Or you think it's not frustrating to clean minions on B, while deathball hunting your teammates one by another?
Okay – a little bit.
Yeah, I know there are tournaments. Only reason I posted this is because they are building an Esports arena in my hometown. Hopefully the devs can see the feedback from this thread to see what they need to do in order to make it there.
This is the only game I've ever been really good at, (I made it to diamond V only using Aramusha on pc) so I'd love to compete at high level and see where I stack up.
You misunderstand me, I don't think the people who watch LoL now will switch games by any means, what I mean is the people who would watch an esport but might not be into MOBAs might well watch For Honor for the combat and medieval siege fantasy.
And you both bring up minions, sure there is some amount of minion killing, there is also a clear objective in all phases, the potential for battles around the banners, the potential for a big set piece battle around the Guardian (and having watched LoL tournaments the battle around the neutral NPC started a buzz of noise as soon as it was initiated) and the battle around the Lord. Breach is a lot more than kill the minions.
I play Tribute more than Dominion these days and while I do agree with you that Breach is a vastly superior game mode to Dominion in terms of it's objectives and atmosphere I find the act of constantly hacking at minions to be tedious. It wouldn't be so bad if clearing them gave you some respite, but within about twenty seconds another wave is upon you so you basically find yourself fighting off literally endless waves of minions. There have been numerous times where I've cleared a group of minions, then got into a fight with somebody and halfway through the fight I'm being prodded in the back by yet another wave of spear wielding zombies that have spawned out of nowhere and I just find the whole thing tiresome. When I first played it during the open test I loved it, because it was something different, but as I've played it more and more the constant, endless waves of zombies has whittled away my enthusiasm for the game mode. To people who enjoy the mode, more power to you, but it's not for me.
Unfortunatly, on PC it's too long to looking for Tribute match.
There's already a discussion about minions in Breach, I don't want to hijack this thread.
Unless they hunker down and make the big changes needed for it to thrive in a competitive setting no. We are also lacking basic features for this like spectator mode and a proper training room.
I can go into a VERY LONG explanation. But the short version is NO IT WILL NEVER BE AN E-SPORT.

Beyond Belief and Unbelief: The Abundant Life
In his latest episode at Mormon Matters, Dan Wotherspoon seeks to discuss faith crises from a perspective beyond belief and unbelief. I wanted to share/summarize the comment I had written about certain things discussed in that podcast here:
I loved the recentering of the discussion that we need to move away from abstractions about what eternal life/godly life entails, and I loved the concept that this involves life and living…the "short list" per Carlisle — things like autonomy, personal dignity, a sense of self-direction, etc., etc., (In other words, the abundant life is when one is living a life with a sense of personal dignity, a sense of autonomy, and things like this…and ideally, religions and churches help one with these sorts of things.) I like the idea that faith crises can be connected to these ideas, and that concerns about "beliefs" may actually be a few steps removed from more basic concerns about "short list" items.
But I don't think the problem is that the church or people in the church or whatever fail to move away from abstractions into the specifics. Rather, I think the issue is that Mormonism is *very* specific about lived experience concerns, asserting a checklist or list of rules or specific prescriptions. This is stifling to anyone who doesn't fit it in any reason. This is visible in lived concerns like sexuality, gender roles, etc., etc., but I think it also works for belief: because Mormonism makes belief a lived concern (e.g., public expressions of testimony, testimony tied to worthiness to participate in rituals like the temple), it makes uncertainty and doubt not just a head issue, but a heart issue. In other words, doubting that the Book of Mormon is historical is not just a head concern…rather the fact that you are limited in what you can publicly say, can experience disciplinary action, etc., makes it a concern about autonomy, personal dignity, etc.,
Carlisle asks at some point in part 2, "I want to do better, but what does better look like?" He answers his own question: "I want them to have life, more fulfilling and abundant."
I don't think any Mormon would disagree with this. But the problem is that even here, different people have different ideas about what makes a life more fulfilling and more abundant.
For example, Phil talked in this section (around 12 minutes of part 2) about community, growing relations, etc., etc., etc., But it's important to note that the church doesn't disagree that community, relations, etc., are important. To the contrary, it really really really emphasizes community, relations, family, etc., So what's the problem? It's that the church defines which kinds of relationships are good and which are bad in a way that stifles people — e.g., defined gender roles, heteronormativity, patriarchy, etc., etc., etc.,
I think that Dan's shift in part 2 (around 16 minutes) about looking beyond the mind/belief/head space to moving into more spirit/living/heart space is probably what he wanted the discussion to be from the beginning. I've sensed this as a theme in many episodes, so I was able to track with this a little better. I understand conceptually Dan's point about how having his spirit warmed kinda changed his sort of attitude on those things: the idea that it didn't really "resolve" the problems, but it cast it into a different light that allowed those problems not to overshadow the good has always been interesting to me (especially the thought around 20 minutes of part 2 where he says that it doesn't feel like he is "selling out is intellect"…which is a common criticism he probably gets from many people. It just doesn't *feel* right to set aside the intellectual issues or the lived issues), but I have a couple of problems with this shifting:
1) It seems to me that Dan wants to pin faith crisis issues in the head space (so the solution: move outside of one's head, and learn to appreciate the heart space stuff, and rebalance the two. As Dan says, "Where else other than religion can you seriously engage matters of spirit?")
I don't think that this works, because I actually would probably agree with Carlisle that faith crisis issues discussed in a "head/belief" way actually have deeper roots with heart/lived experience issues. In other words, we could probably go into how every issue that shows up as a reason for faith crisis drills down to perceived decreased autonomy, lack of fulfillment, decreased personal dignity, etc., And if that is true, then that's a different challenge for Dan. People are resistant to the concept of spirit because religion has soured them on "the religious life." So it doesn't feel like throwing baby with bath water in a move to secularism, scientism, atheism, etc., because it doesn't feel like there was a baby.
2) I understand that somehow, by re-engaging in matters of the "spirit," Dan has moved away from a place of being head-focused, but I don't know how you get people to that place. In other words, for someone who doesn't feel there is a baby, who doesn't feel the spirit, who doesn't perceive that thing, then it seems that having those sorts of spiritual experiences that recontextualize things is entirely situational and arbitrary. (I thought a question that was asked about love/grace/gratefulness was great…is love something one can do after one has a solid base? Or does love fuel the solid base? In this example…can one more gently live and appreciate Mormonism once one has certain needs in their life met? If so, I think there is going to be a problem, because Mormonism *doesn't meet those needs*. But if that is not a prerequisite, then the challenge is different — convincing people that sticking with it comes first, and that having needs met follows. P.S. I LOVE that Carlisle brought this back up in part 2 around 22 minutes. Dan arguably only got to the place where is now within Mormonism because he built a secure base with spiritual practices from *outside of Mormonism* and then started seeing those things within Mormon ideas, scriptures, concepts.)
I listen to a lot of Mo Matters episodes (especially the ones where Dan is talking a lot), and I still really believe that Dan's viewpoint is not very generalizable. It still seems a little opaque. There's still a piece that has not really been explained sufficiently IMO. Something there where Dan's operating on one wavelength, a lot of other people are operating on another, and the dial to change wavelengths is not known. I mean, sometimes Dan puts it as a matter of engaging in spiritual practices, but those don't really do much for a lot of people. Other times, Dan puts it as a function of living into life, getting more experience with life, something that comes with age and maturity (e.g., noting that moving stages in Fowler is supposed to take *decades*), but this isn't very satisfying — that suggests that there's not really much we can do about it (que sera sera), and more troubling, since not everyone moves past certain stages in a Fowler system, it suggests that that awareness might just not be for some folks.
At 30 minutes (and more at 32 minutes): Carlisle talks about how conventional religion has the seeds to look outward, but that it can also be the most inward-focused. I think this can relate to the theme of the earlier podcast episode with Adam Miller on "Grace is Not God's Backup Plan" on the idea that being an insider and having the law — but not having the right relationship to it — can be the biggest stumbling block.
i think I could make a comparison between that episode and this one. Basically, let's say that we have a lot of people who are burnt out with Mormonism basically because we are the "insiders" whom the law sold into sin. You are saying something like, "But guys, this law really is pointing to grace first!" whereas we are saying, "You know, I'm burnt out on trying to keep up the rat race of the law, keep of the rat race of appearances, the judgmentalism of the law, etc., etc.," And you're saying, "Yes, and that is the cusp of a great transformation! Just a bit further — this should point towards grace…that rat race, the judgmentalism, etc., are sin, which is in rebellion to grace."
There is a shift in perspective and awareness that has to be taken, but how that happens is uncertain and unknown, since we are raised and steeped in the law as insiders…we have to find grace by turning things upside down, somehow. But if we are turning things upside down, then it's easy to say, "why not just throw this away?"

Interesting post. There's so much to unpack that I can't even begin to share my thoughts on all of your points. Also, I haven't listened to this podcast yet, although I think I will.
But the part of the post I wanted to comment on is the question of positive lived experience of Mormonism following met needs or sticking with it despite challenges and then it meets needs.
In my post-disaffection, I've thought about this. As a 29-year-old single, Mormonism was not meeting my needs. Anything but. Still, I held on for quite a while, believing that eventually those needs would be met in some way. It took therapy to help me realize maybe those needs couldn't be met within the Mormon paradigm. So I left.
Contrast this with my 21-year-old sister, just returned from a mission six months ago. Now she is going to school, she has a boyfriend (it will likely lead to marriage), she has a rich social network of friends and family, and she has a sense of purpose and meaning. She would credit her happiness to the gospel, but I think the credit should actually go to the fact that her psychological and physical needs are being met. Her lived experience of Mormonism is chiefly positive because those needs are being met satisfactorily (for now at least). Certainly Mormonism offered a convenient avenue to meet many of those needs, but I do not think Mormonism itself is meeting those needs. But, like most religions (and other organizations), Mormonism markets itself to its members as the thing that does meet those needs.
Maybe some find peace eventually through sticking it out. But I think it happens most often the other way. And I, personally, can't recommend sticking it out with hope that those needs will be met. I think a far better strategy may be to assess those needs (Community? Intimacy? Purpose?) and then seek ways to meet them wherever possible (in healthy ways of course)– even if that is outside of religion.

JL,
This episode of the podcast is in two parts, and it's a little slow to get going, but I would definitely say that listening to the podcast is a must to get all the references that I'm making.
I do think that you raise a good point that is relevant to the subject — if Mormonism appears to be "working" for someone (like your sister), then how much of that is because of Mormonism, and how much of that is because of other factors that Mormonism just happened to "offer a convenient avenue" for those factors.
However, I think I would push back like this: I don't think that people are saying you find peace eventually through sticking it out. To the contrary, I think that people are saying that you can still take breaks, take a bit of distance, try to look at things from a different perspective, and therefore try to create the better situation that you may have been missing.
That being said, I think that an argument Dan Wotherspoon makes occasionally on these podcasts (and it came out in these episodes just a little bit) is that he would say there is a class of needs that could best be described as "spiritual". So, his argument for religion seems to ultimately drill down to, "Where else is the spiritual taken seriously as an area for introspection, cultivation, etc., etc.,"

When I gave my two-week notice, I told my boss that my last day will be the 29th of September. He said that he'd take the weekend to think about, as if he was considering whether or not to accept my resignation.
The following Monday, he sat with me to review my schedule. After a tedious process of telling me everything that I already knew that I had to do, he said, and I quote, "Oh yah, and I'm going to have you stay through the first week of October. You're cheaper as an employee rather than a consultant."
I can't say that I was shocked by this, but it was rather annoying. I reminded him that my last day would be the 29th. The boss was appalled, saying that "he told me" that I'd be working through the first week of October. I told him that it was the 29th, or today. He just got up and left.

While I can't imagine solely being a working actor, I love to perform. (Whether or not I'm actually good at it is a different matter. I'm not fishing for compliments. These matters are highly relative.) It's not a surprise that, in all of the many forms applied theatre has to offer, I gravitated towards process drama the most during my master's. It was the ideal intersection of my academic interests (i.e., education), personal values (i.e., participant-centeredness), and artistic passions (i.e., acting). Having said that, I was and am delighted that during my time in New York University (NYU), I am able to explore other ways of performing, such as devised theatre and verbatim performance.
In the spirit of praxis, the work I do as an actor is indivisible from the work I do as an academic. I have noted that the more deeply I get to reflect on theory, the more grounded my performances become—and vice versa; they inform one another. The two performances I feature in this section represent this. Included are Hear Them Roar: The Fight for Women's Rights, a devised performance produced by NYU Steinhardt under the direction of Nan Smithner, and Nobody, but (no)body, a piece of ethnotheatre that began in Joe Salvatore's Ethnoacting course and was further developed in NYU's Verbatim Performance Lab.

Битолската българска класическа гимназия е създадена със съдействието на Солунската българска мъжка гимназия, като през учебната 1899 – 1900 година класическият отдел на Солунската гимназия се премества в Битоля.

Дейност
Пръв директор на училището е Антон Попстоилов. През 1899 година, след скандал с него, Христо Матов напуска гимназията.

На 11 май 1899 година, на тържеството за Св. св. Кирил и Методий учителят Иван Цоков остро критикува битолския владика Григорий Пелагонийски. Екзархията уволнява учителя, но в гимназията избухва бунт и част учениците, подкрепяни от учители, застават на страната на Цоков. Вследствие, гимназията е временно затворена, провинилите се учители са уволнени, а учениците организатори на бунта – изключени.

През 1900 година на сградата на училището се прави основен ремонт.

В гимназията се развива активна революционна дейност. Даме Груев съвместява учителството и воденето на тайни революционни кръжоци, в които участват самите ученици. Издава се ръкописният революционен вестник "Жална Македония". През 1899 – 1900 година в училището преподават още Михаил Герджиков (под името и с дипломата на Тодор Луканов), Петър Мартулков и Васил Пасков. Пере Тошев и Гьорче Петров, по време на учителстването си, подпомагат местния революционен комитет на ВМОРО и издават вестник "На оръжие". Още учители там са Йордан Бомболов и Мехмед ефенди.

През есента на 1902 година в гимназията учител по български език и литература е Кръсте Мисирков. Други учители са: Атанас Яранов – историк, Панче Хаджиздравев – математик, Емануил Ляпчев, учител по турски език, и Парашкев Цветков – по музика.

Гимназията разполага и с пансион, който се намира в района на Куртдере (Вълчата суха река). Владислав Миладинов-Алексиев описва живота в пансиона като "суров, войнишки, но в същото време задушевен, български". В пансиона освен ученици живеят и част от учителите.

През учебната 1909 година броят на завършилите ученици в Битолската класическа гимназия е 194, като само 16 души са отпаднали по различни причини.

В Битоля работи и Битолската българска девическа гимназия, на която за кратко директор е Евтим Спространов, като и двете са затворени през 1913 година.

Online War Begins In 2014 Florida Gov. Race
WFSU | By Lynn Hatter
The Florida Democratic Party is launching a campaign to expose who they say is the "Real Rick Scott". Party officials say defeating Scott will be a challenge, especially since no big name Democrats have officially declared their candidacy for next year's race.
The Dems are taking to Twitter and Facebook in an effort to reach out to key independent voters.
The Democrats' strategy against Republican Governor Rick Scott includes a website, Real Rick Scott.com, which state party chairwoman Allison Tant says is aimed at defining the Governor.
"In poll after poll Floridians have reported their total lack of trust in this Governor," Tant told reporters Thursday in a conference call. "Now with his reelection looming, we've seen him try to change his stripes and change his motivations and his real beliefs in an effort to win over independent and moderate voters. It hasn't worked all year, and we are going to make sure it doesn't."
Although Scott's approval ratings remain low, they have improved in the months since the close of the legislative session. Democrats plan to run online ads in major newspapers across the state and use Facebook and Twitter to lure voters to whoever the Democratic nominee eventually is. But Democratic Party Executive Director Scott Arceneaux says despite Scott's low approval ratings, defeating him won't be easy:
"When you've got a governor who came into office who basically bought the Governor's mansion with $80 million of his own money, and said last year he's willing to spend another $100 million to keep it, that's going to give anybody pause and make people look at this seriously."
The only Democrat officially in the race is former State Senator Nan Rich. Still, the Republican Party of Florida has been gearing up to defeat former Republican Governor Charlie Crist, who GOP insiders consider the presumptive Democratic nominee. Chairman Lenny Curry says it makes for an interesting pretext to the race with 15 months to go before Election Day.
"It's interesting they have Nan Rich who is a committed liberal, a committed progressive," Curry said. "She has been a member of the party for years...but the party elites don't want to pay any attention to her. Regardless of who they put up as a candidate, they still have to run against Rick Scott's record of job creation, of making sure our children are educated, the recovery in the housing market."
Florida GOP officials have waged their own social media campaign against Crist, including sending daily e-mails called "This day in Crist-ory" campaign, targeting the former governor's record on the economy. The party has also purchased all the content from a website called EmptyChairCharlie.com, which the Democrats used in 2008 to bash Crist in an election he won anyway.

From dance to photography to theater, afterschool programs are helping kids cultivate their creative talents.
The Arts Education Partnership and the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities wrote, "When young people are involved with the arts, something changes in their lives." This section contains examples of afterschool and summer learning programs drawing on the expertise of arts organizations, local artists, and school day art and music educators to tap into students' inventiveness, providing a fun outlet that helps positively stimulate and motivate students.
In this increasingly competitive information age and creative economy, art education is being squeezed out of school curricula, but knowledge and skills in the arts remains important. This brief addresses how the arts support creative achievement, unite communities, encourage self-expression and teach students about cultural history. This brief also highlights the role afterschool programs can play in filling the current gap in art education.

News archive - Further Steps towards the Creation of the RCC (4)
The RCC Host country agreement was signed in Plovdiv on September 14, 2007 which establishes the Secretariat of the Regional Cooperation Council in Sarajevo.
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia an Herzegovina and the other SEECP participating States, as well as UNMIK on behalf of Kosovo signed in Plovdiv the agreement, establishing the Secretariat of the Regional Co-operation Council (RCC) in Sarajevo. The Host Country agreement (HCA) will provide a sound basis for the RCC Secretariat, allowing it to formally start its work as planned by the end of February 2008.
The HCA provides the RCC Secretariat with legal personality and capacity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also allows it to conclude a Headquarters Agreement with Belgium for establishing the RCC Liaison Office in Brussels. This small liaison office will assist the RCC by linking it up with the European and Euro-Atlantic institutions in Brussels. Bosnia and Herzegovina is providing the headquarters of the RCC at no fee. The RCC Secretariat will be provided with the same kind of status as the diplomatic representations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In his statement at the ceremony the Special Co-ordinator of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe Dr. Erhard Busek stressed that the signing of this legal document was yet another substantial step in physically establishing the RCC as the successor of the SP and an important sign of the full commitment of the SEE countries to continue enhancing regional co-operation in South Eastern Europe.
According to the decisions taken by the countries of the region, the RCC will take over the activities of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe. The decisions on the statute of the RCC have been taken by the Heads of State and Government of the SEECP in Zagreb on May 11, 2007. Mr. Hido Biscevic, a high ranking diplomat from Croatia, was appointed as the first Secretary General of the RCC. Some 30 officials will work in the RCC. The countries from the region are covering one third of the costs of the RCC Secretariat, the remaining two thirds being covered by the European Commission and other donors.
The Ministers of the SEECP participating States also discussed the situation in the region, the meetings and activities within the framework of the Bulgarian Chairmanship-In-Office of the SEECP, future steps of the transformation of the Stability Pact into RCC, including the structure and the budget of the RCC Secretariat.

Lepasätten är en nutida benämning på en frälsesläkt vars sätesgård var Lepas i Hattula sn i Tavastland, Finland. Stamfadern Hans Peterssons sigill är två fågelfötter. Från och med sonsonen Björn Olausson är sigillet ett halvt lejon i övre fältet av en delad sköld, alltså ett vapen helt olikt farfaderns och möjligen bildat på det snarlika vapen som förts av hans svärfars utdöda mödernesläkt Slaweka.

Interview: USA Climbing CEO Marc Norman Sees the Olympics as Just the Beginning
John Burgman
USA Climbing just released its Strategic Plan [PDF] for the next four years. The goals range from increasing and amping up American competition climbing's media presence to making climbing a widespread varsity sport at the collegiate level to making a comp climber a household name. Climbing had a chance to dive into the details of the plan with USA Climbing's CEO, Marc Norman, to get an inside look on where the organization is headed.
The list of core values in the new Strategic Plan mentions "adjusting if USA Climbing falls short" and "celebrating successes." So, let's start by looking back: What were some of the biggest successes of the past few years for USA Climbing?
Marc Norman: I think the obvious successes would be the work to get included in the Olympic Games, and to become an officially recognized national governing body. Those are monumental tasks that the organization, before my time, was able to move and make happen. And with that certainly comes a lot of challenges. But to be able to do that: To move from a youth-sport organization to a national governing body tasked with overseeing all aspects of the sport, from youth to elite, that has an impact.
The first core value mentioned for 2020-2024 is to "put the athlete first." What are some ways that USA Climbing might work towards that in the next four years?
As an overall principle, we want to make sure that when we make decisions we're basing them first with the athlete in mind—and the athlete can be anyone from a beginning youth competitor all the way up to our elite athletes. So, if I was going to give you one [specific], it would apply to what the Competition Task Force is doing, which is looking at what we're doing and saying, "Is this really the best for athlete health and well-being?" And if it's not, then let's fix it.
We have some big goals and aspirations in the Strategic Plan and while we have already started to work on some of the goals we have a lot to come. Things like identifying injuries—and if we're seeing trends, acting on those trends so that we can reduce the amount of injuries in our sport. You name it, it kind of runs across the sport—even to things that aren't injuries. We've seen things related to anorexia and eating disorders; obviously if you drop 15 pounds and you're still strong, for a short period of time you climb a little better. But we'd look at that as a short-term gain with serious long-term consequences. So educating our membership of the proper diet, training loads, proper use of hangboards, and more are all things that will be coming from USA Climbing in the future.
An Inside Look at USA Climbing's National Team Training Center
Were there other governing bodies that you looked at as models for that?
Definitely. We looked at a number of governing bodies. We also looked at the Olympic committee in and of itself. They actually just updated their Strategic Plan as well, and "promoting and protecting athletes" is a significant component of that.
Nobody likes to talk about the challenges that have faced youth sports with sexual abuse, but that's a part of it as well—ensuring that athletes are represented on the board, ensuring that they have representation on committees, that their voices are heard. Those are all really important things and a place we really want to be, one of those leading national governing bodies on the front-edge of really engaging and involving our athletes in everything we do. Of course, we know they're not always going to agree. There are always limited resources. So being able to support some [athletes] in some ways, and others in other ways, will always be a little bit of a challenge. But I've always believed that the more transparent we can be, and the more engaged [the athletes] can be in the process, hopefully if we do disagree in some places, they will understand why.
You mention sexual abuse in regards to youth sports, and obviously one of the big cases that comes to mind is the USA Gymnastics scandal that was reported in 2016. I remember when that story broke, and in the aftermath, I wondered what USA Climbing—as another national governing body with a huge youth and coach contingent—could and should learn from it.
I think any national governing body, or really any youth sport organization—because this is an issue that goes beyond governing bodies—if they don't think this is a problem in their midst, their heads are in the sand. One of the early things we were able to do when I came on board was hire a SafeSport manager, Sharlee Holland. That's her job, she looks at it all day, every day—not just in terms of responding to incidents that happen, but educating our membership to look for it and ways to prevent it. And also in regards to things that you don't think are wrong but in today's climate are wrong, or can be perceived that way, right? So protecting coaches too in that way, as much as it's protecting the athletes. It's protecting the coaches so they know, "Hey, maybe this seems OK and harmless but for somebody else, it may not be." So [coaches] need to be cautious of those things so they don't get themselves into a situation where nothing intentional was meant, but perception is big.
One of the strategic visions is to have widespread media broadcasts. So might we see broadcasts beyond just the national championship livestreams?
Yeah, I think it leaves the door wide open. Obviously the first priority, generally speaking, is to increase the exposure of competition climbing throughout the general public market. I know there are some in our community who don't love that. But sponsors—and specifically non-endemic sponsors—certainly want to know that we're being seen not just by the true, dedicated climbers. They want that big market reach. So, to make that happen, we have to get out to the general public, we have to present the sport in ways that are easy to understand. Like our scoring system—we have to question whether that's the best way for the general public to understand. And then, once we start to broaden that reach and people are interested in consuming the content, then you can do all kinds of things.
The ESPN deal was a two-year contract. Does that mean you're in talks with ESPN now about re-upping the partnership?
Yeah, our contract with them was for last year and this year. This year we're adding the [broadcast of] collegiate nationals, which I think is a great addition to the national championships for ESPN. We are in a window of renegotiation with ESPN and other partners. So I'd just say yeah, our intent is to continue broadcasting our events through any high-level broadcaster in the country and to ensure that we can increase that exposure.
USA Climbing and ESPN Announce New Multi-Year Agreement to Televise and Livestream Events
To give you an example with ESPN: This first time, we were guaranteed two re-airs, three total programs, of each national championship. So we were guaranteed nine showings of the one-hour show. So, now, we're wondering how can we guarantee more than that? ESPN actually did deliver much more than just nine showings; they delivered 20 airings because they did like it. But how can guarantee more of that—and maybe longer shows. Rather than an hour broadcast, can we get maybe an hour-and-a-half where we can do a little more storytelling? Right now the hour feels kind of tight. And it kind of jumps around. In an hour you only get 42 minutes of actual footage and then there's 18 minutes of commercials, so it's really condensed. Certainly our partners—The North Face, Yeti, Clif Bar—they like that we're reaching out and growing the audience. In the past with YouTube livestreams, we'd see about a million views, and that wasn't unique views (which you can't track on YouTube quite as well). But our first year with ESPN, we saw ten million views. So that's a 10-fold increase in viewership, which is why we want to keep doing it.
So hopefully it only gets bigger and better, and hopefully we can elevate the sports-production side of it. We have to make people want to see climbing and turn it on and leave it on, and be excited about it.
As far as production, I think one of the best moves was bringing back Sam Farber and Sean Woodland on commentary for this year's Combined Invitational and Open Bouldering National Championship. It was good to use the same team as last year—it established some consistency in pairing those guys with Meagan Martin.
I completely agree. Some of that, in all honesty, was mandated by ESPN—that we have a professional commentator that has done a number of sports with them, so they at least knew they had one person who knew how it worked. So that's why we paired them up with Meagan. It was the perfect combination. Meagan knows everything there is to know about the sport and brings the fun. But Sam and Sean brought the explanation of how the whole thing works.

My big hope always after a national championship is to see a highlight on ESPN's SportsCenter. Something like a big dyno seems tailor-made for the SportsCenter Top 10 list or a highlight reel with other incredible plays.
Exactly. I can't tell you how many times that I've heard from random friends all over the world that they're just sitting in some bar and climbing comes on.
I can tell you it's just the beginning. Hopefully the Strategic Plan shows we've got some big aspirations. We're going to bring the national championships to major downtown locations where we'll own portable lead, speed, and bouldering walls. Bring it to the people rather than trying to get the general public into a gym where we get a couple hundred people. Not many gyms are built for having 5,000 spectators, so let's bring it to the people.
The Strategic Plan also lists the goal of making a climber a household name. We've never really seen USA Climbing working on branding a singular competitor—as opposed to the whole, the team—before. Does that mean you'll put time and effort into promoting individuals?
I think that's an interesting question. The answer for me would be yes and no. I think it's a yes, while the team is still given time and attention. The intent here is: Let's increase the exposure and the professionalism of the sport so that a climber can fulfill that point. If we had five athletes who were doing all kinds of amazing things, we ought to be pushing all five of them for news stories through our various connections with media all over the country … especially with the mainstream media, and helping them achieve that. And whether that's one or—who knows where the sport goes in the future—maybe there's a team event in the Olympics at some point. So maybe we'll have the best women's team in the world, for example. Allowing every athlete to fulfill their maximum potential, and that's not just athletically but also from a long-term career standpoint, those are absolutely the things we need to be doing. Funnily enough, that kind of comes back to "athlete first," right? How do we ensure that the athletes can make a living and feel good about it?
Interview: Natalia Grossman is America's New Comp Superstar
Do the top-level USA Climbing athletes get any sort of media training?
They've had a little bit, but we'll be doing more of that, especially around the Olympic Games, but even more going forward as more media starts paying attention. We've done some around the national championships, knowing that [the athletes] would likely get exposure on ESPN: "Here's what we want, we want you doing this, careful what you say about these things." But definitely there's more we can do in that space and definitely the Olympians will get a lot of that. The Olympic Committee puts on a pretty significant media training [program] when you land in Tokyo.
This is somewhat related to saying certain things to the media, and I want to run it by you. One of the things that bugs me—for lack of a better word—is when a big-name competition climber is asked what he/she considers to be his/her greatest climbing accomplishment, and the answer is a big outdoor send. Say, a V15 boulder, 5.15 route, some epic multi-pitch line, or something like that. As a competition fan first and foremost, those answers always crush my spirit. I want to see these athletes citing national championships and competition wins as their greatest accomplishments. How do we get there?
I think you'll see that, quite honestly. I think that's kind of the difference between this current group of athletes who—when they started, competition climbing was smaller, less prestigious, and [had] no Olympic Games and no future via competition climbing. As the sport grows, I think we'll see that change. Honestly, I've had the same reaction. We've tried to share with the athletes the magnitude of the Olympic Games. I've brought in friends of mine who are Olympians, including my wife, to help convey how big it is, but it is hard to convey until you have lived it. Frankly, you could see it start to turn quite a bit this year as Olympic qualifying progressed, so we are on the right track.
Opinion: As Olympic Qualifiers Approach, Outdoor Sends Are Irrelevant for Comp Climbers
I know that being sanctioned as an official NCAA sport is also a big goal—to the point where USA Climbing even hired a Collegiate & Paraclimbing Series Manager [Rachel Owens] to work on it. I've looked into the details of what NCAA sanctioning entails, and it's complicated. Can you give climbing fans the CliffsNotes version of the process—and more importantly, explain why being an NCAA sport is a priority?
First, you become an [NCAA] "emerging sport," so you have to apply for that, and you have to meet certain requirements to be considered an emerging sport. I can't quote the exact numbers, but I think it's 10 colleges and universities need to recognize the sport as a varsity sport, as well as 20 that recognize it as a club sport. We already easily meet the club sport requirement. I think it's 174 universities that recognize climbing as a club sport today, which is a massive number. But we only have one varsity sport right now—Brevard College, a big shout-out to them. So, you fill out the application, you submit which universities meet the requirements.
But I think the purpose behind it is to provide that, and show that, transition from a youth sport organization. One of my most-hated terms in our sport—and I hear it all the time—is, "My child has aged out." Your child aged out of climbing—what? I'm still going to the gym and climbing, so what does "aged-out" mean? It baffles me. So this is a way to eliminate that. You don't "age out" when you get to age 18; you have a collegiate pathway so now it can pay for you to go to school while being a collegiate climber. Of course, we want climbers for life, and we want them to recognize themselves both as an indoor climber and an outdoor climber for life. So this really is intentional to fill that pipeline so that they can go to school and still climb. We're not reinventing the wheel. All the sports before us—why do people keep playing basketball when they know they're not going to make the NBA? Well, because they can go to school, it's prestigious still, they can get a college education so when they come out of school they can get a job. All of those things come into play.
And what about after people finish college? This all makes me envision something like a USA Climbing Masters Division or a Seniors Division.
Yep—you're on it!
Because when the Strategic Plan talks about a competition pathway for adults "at all levels," to me that implies levels below the elite level. In other words: A nation-wide competition circuit that doesn't have the Open National Championships as the end-goal?
Exactly—I think you're seeing a lot of that already. I don't think we have to go out and create this from scratch. The gyms are running all of these amazing comps. I want to build them into this Citizens Class. Or, as you say, a Seniors or Masters Class competition that ranks them and then maybe there is that Masters Nationals that ends up appearing someday. You could do it by age category, or there's a whole variety of ways you could do it. That is the next level. The purpose is to grow the membership, grow the amount of people who want to be part of USA Climbing.
Right now, the only reason people join USA Climbing, unfortunately, is to be a competitor—and a high-level competitor. There are other programs out there right now that are flourishing, or starting to flourish, and their requirement is you can't be a USA Climbing member. But we want all these people as part of our organization too for a couple reasons. One, so that when those people go to their local gym and it's closed for a USA Climbing comp, they're not cursing our name or their local gym's name—but they stick around to see it and cheer on and recognize the importance of it. But two, to grow that membership base even bigger and grow climbing's reach and impact even more.
There is a contingent of dyed-in-the-wool dirtbag climbers who will read these strategic visions of new competition pathways, major corporate sponsors, and NCAA sanctioning and think, "This is not what climbing is all about." They might call it "going corporate," "going mainstream," or "selling out." I don't agree with that line of thinking at all, but how does USA Climbing get those people to come around too?
What I hope is that we can prove—and we're going to have to prove it—that we can bring value to them. And that's going to take some time. It's not going to happen overnight. We're going to have to deliver good content that they find interesting. We have to provide membership value. And again I really think it's a time issue. This current generation looks at it a little less positively than the younger generation. But I hope as we do those things, we'll slowly win them over. Certainly we'll never get everybody, but we just have to do our best. Finally, take a look at snowboarding; they were where we are today back in 1998 with a lot of the same concerns and comments, look where the sport is now, it's amazing.

Molinews: Part Nine
Fitting Finale For Gribbers
Neil Emblen - all smiles Down Under.
Neil Emblen is set to call time on his long playing career after leading Waitakere United to victory over Auckland City earlier this week in New Zealand's ASB Premiership grand final.
The former Wolves favourite gambled by naming himself in the line-up because of the unavailability of two key defenders and was still on the field when a stoppage-time own goal secured his side's 3-2 win.
"That's it," he said afterwards as he celebrated back-to-back grand final triumphs. "I want to say I'm done with it. It would be a very desperate situation before I would do that again. The rust came back in the second half."

Emblen, who turns 40 in June, was part of the coaching team when the New Zealand national side drew 1-1 in China recently. The trip to the Far East was also due to have included a friendly in Japan but the game was called off following the earthquake and tsunami there.
Mike's Painful Memories
The strange things that resurface over the years…..in the bar of a Middlesbrough hotel recently, guests were somewhat surprised to see a bed-ridden Mike Bailey looking out at them from the TV.
It wasn't the 21st century Bailey either, nor the much-loved Molineux figure, but the younger version.
The unusual screening was a play-back of a video-tape belonging to Teesside hotelier and Boro fanatic John Culley, who had a few clips of a Charlton visit to Ayresome Park on his compilation.
And it was in that game in October, 1964, that Bailey broke his leg, being hospitalised in the north-east and subsequently interviewed in the ward.
"It was just one of those things," the already-capped England player said, lamenting how he would have to pull out of an England squad he had been called into the following week.
"Two of us went for the ball and he came in a bit late on top of me."
Fresh Search On For Keeper
Wolves Heroes surprised Gary Pierce two years ago by knocking unannounced on the door of his house in Bury.
The League Cup in very safe hands over three and a half decades ago.
The 1974 Wembley hero kindly granted us an interview on the spot – and a follow-up by phone several weeks later.
Now he has slipped out of touch again and is being chased by London Wolves, who want to invite him to their 45th anniversary dinner in July.
If anyone can re-establish contact with him on our mutual behalf, we would be very grateful.
