According to Sand Hill Econometrics and many other sources that empirically analyze Venture Capital and Private Equity and benchmark data on investments, only 1 in 100 development projects or companies seeking funding actual get to transaction closing.
Source: Sand Hill Econometrics
Why is this ratio so low? Is it that many developers venture into projects without really having a good and attractive investment? Is it because the great majority of companies reach out to investors in a desperate move to try to survive? While there are many who indeed believe that capital is easy to raise and a simple exercise, the truth of the matter is that most enterprises are not aware of what capital raising is all about and what it takes to be successful. Many believe that having a strong management team and a good financial officer or advisor is enough. A business plan is put together and a huge financial spreadsheet with infinite detail is developed, put together and then taken to potential investors. This is certainly a good start, but there is much, much more to being successful in raising capital especially when investors have literally thousands of propositions thrown at them each month.
This route usually draws a big yawn from investors and although the investment may actually have very good potential it immediately is quickly tucked away into the dreaded File 13.
It is hard to believe that 99% of investment propositions are really not interesting or attractive investments. Generally speaking it is also against the most conservative probability analysis that 99% of highly intelligent business people with great experience and who are working very hard put together foolhardy propositions.
So what is the problem? In reality it is very simple; it rests on the well marketed and even exported good old American way of do-it-yourself method. Take the shortcut and get there faster. Well, as Daniel Kaheman points out in his bestselling book; Thinking, Fast and Slow. The book's central thesis is a dichotomy between two modes of thought: System 1 is fast, instinctive and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The book delineates cognitive biases associated with each type of thinking where one of the most important developments is the now understood marvels as well as flaws of intuitive thought.
So how does this relate to getting a venture funded? It essentially rests on the intuitive reasoning that if I have a great business plan and a solid and very detailed financial spreadsheet and forecasts I am sure to get funded, right? Wrong.
The basic intuitive reasoning flaw here is the confusion of financial knowledge and sector expertise with the investment process. You would never try to defend yourself in a trial without an experienced lawyer who knows not only the law but also all the tricks and hidden aspects of getting you proven innocent even if you really believe you are. You would also never try to cure yourself from anything short of a common cold because you have spent months on the internet studying your symptoms and your sister-in-law studied medicine once. Well just like lawyers and doctors there are also investment specialists, they are called Investment Bankers.
The difference between Corporate Finance and Investment Banking
The first step is to clearly define the two activities and then highlight where investment banking clearly develops tasks, relationships and brings value that corporate financing does not. So some simple definitions are in order.
Corporate Finance
Corporate finance consists of tools, strategies and the analytical framework that an organization relies on to fund its short term activities. All organizations -- including charities and government agencies -- use financial procedures to ensure that operating strategies are appropriate, depending on business needs. For corporate finance personnel, the order of the day is to make sure the firm has enough cash to pay for day-to-day expenses without depleting long-term, rainy-day liquidity reserves. In the corporate setting, financial activities enable department heads to prevent the operational standstill that often comes with insufficient cash flows.
Investment Banking
Investment banking professionals help companies and project developers meet their liquidity needs, with an emphasis on how to fund long-term projects. By helping businesses and governments raise money, investment bankers provide the platform necessary to spur economic growth. A company may raise cash on financial markets or in private transactions. Financial markets, also known as securities exchanges, include the New York Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange. Publicly listed firms may sell stocks or bonds, among other products. In private transactions, a company discusses capital investment or loan arrangements directly with a group of institutional investors, such as banks, insurance companies and private-equity funds.
A short list of Investment Banking specialization over Corporate Finance
In-house Due Diligence
Due diligence is a program of critical analysis that companies undertake prior to making business decisions in such areas as corporate mergers/acquisitions or major investments. The due diligence process, whether outsourced or executed in-house, is in essence an attempt to provide business owners and, of course the target investor, with reliable and complete background information on proposed business deal, so that they can make informed decisions about whether to go forward with the business action. "The due diligence process involves everything from reading the fine print in corporate legal and financial documents such as equity vesting plans and patents to interviewing customers, corporate officers, and key developers," wrote Lee Copeland in Computerworld. The ultimate goal of such activities is to make sure that there are no hidden drawbacks or traps associated with the business action under consideration. It is best to work hand-in-hand with an expert in the investment field to get things right the first time through instead of trying to correct mistakes further down which almost always turn into patchwork.

Investment Appetites
The structure and operation of investment funds, whether they are venture capital, private equity, family offices or others is actually a very complex field and constantly changing. Investment strategies are usually very diversified in your typical fund and have specific criteria's to geography, technology, ticket size, targeted returns, risk profile…the list is quite long and since many are structured with pockets they fill and change sometimes on a monthly basis. Knowing what these are in a constantly changing environment requires specialist dedication.
Capital Structuring
This is a mix of a company's long-term debt, specific short-term debt, common equity and preferred equity. The capital structure is how a firm finances its overall operations and growth by using different sources of funds. This can actually be quite a complex structure including the best match and mix of investment instruments to the profiled investor and can include mezzanine structures and diverse stock offerings ranging from common stock to participating convertible preferred shares with a cap, conversion and liquidity terms, QBO thresholds and hybrid offerings that are key to making investments more attractive and secure.
Investment Proposition
Every investment proposal is different, because every investment is unique. However, a successful investment proposal will focus on and answer four basic questions for the investor:
- What is the equity investment required and what share interest will I have?
- Is my investment safe?
- When will I get back my initial investment and profits?
- What return will I get?
If an investor gets satisfactory answers to those three questions, he or she will most likely invest. The harsh reality of today's investment environment is that active investors are extremely busy and therefore you only get one shot to impress them. If you misstep, it's over.
Exit Strategy
Every investment proposal must include the investor's potential exit strategy. What and when are the key points at which the investor can leave the investment? It is important to note that this is a potential exit strategy, not a preferred exit strategy. It does not mean that the investor will exit, but that they potentially can exit at certain points. For instance, on an energy development project, an investor may want to see a potential exit point once the plant has been built and the income stream is stabilized, because that is the earliest point at which the sponsor can efficiently refinance the power plant. Even though an investor may be planning to stay in the investment long term, they usually want to know when is the earliest practical moment they can exit if they wish or need to leave the investment. Most investors want to see a potential exit strategy between three and five years.
Investor Relationships
When deciding to look for an external capital raise one of the key factors is have well established relationships with a large database of ongoing relationships with the investment community. Cold calling funds or investment entities can be an arduous and time consuming task and chances are you will have a hard time getting past the reception secretary.
The field of business and especially non-recourse SPV valuation encompasses a wide array of fields and methods. The tools and methods vary widely between valuators, investors, businesses and industries. Approaches to business valuation can be quite complex and include review of financial statements, discounting cash flow models, and similar company comparisons. Many investors have different methods which yield dramatically diverse results and knowing your specific investment source and risk/return criteria before first contact is crucial.
There are many other very specialized aspects to investment banking that provide a great insight into how the investment proposal should be structured and prepared and where to go with it. Many proposals actually do get looked at but if not properly prepared not only go to File 13 but get a bad name in the market and lose all hope of ever getting funded
When should the Investment Bank be engaged?An specialized investment bank should actually be engaged from the very beginning of the decision to develop a project or raise capital for a company growth or expansion. This early stage entry greatly reduces the risk of getting into a situation where much work and decisions have been taken but leading down the wrong path which will have to be later undone by the investment banker. This usually causes much pain and grief and money spent and in many cases management insists on going forward anyway just because going back and starting over is too painful.

Over a year ago I hit upon a simple idea related to linear inequality explorations: mapping locations. In this version, with limited iPads at my disposal, I put a list of predetermined locations on the board "demonstrate west of Toyota Center" for example. This year, in my crazy Algebra II experiment, we entered graphing with knowledge of more than just linear functions. In fact, at this point, the idea of quadratic or absolute value inequality was no big deal to any of the students.
Anyway, while discussing the idea of single condition inequalities of all types I retreated back to this mapping activity as a way to discuss multiple conditions in a realer sense. What does it mean to be a valid point within an inequality? Multiple inequalities?
I pulled up my (not actual) house in Google Maps and discussed how I would describe the location of a Halloween party they weren't invited to:
It wasn't hard to grasp the idea that discussing the house this way helped narrow down its location. Given a driver with decent knowledge of the city, this might be enough to place the address.
The Task
Idea in hand, I passed out iPads, styluses (stylii?) and gave them their instructions:
- Given six locations: your house, your middle school, our high school, the US Capitol, Empire State Building, and free choice
- Locate four of these items on a Map
- Screenshot the map
- Find two ways to describe the location
- Export to Google Drive
I gave a brief tutorial on Google Drive export, but since they had to submit four items, they got it down after a bit.
Results were pretty good. This took 40 minutes or so of class time. I used to jump off on their task for the next day.
The Extension
The next class day we explored multiple inequality conditions created by all sorts of functions. I prepared and array of points and had them test where they were valid. There were a set of 5 condition groups they tested.
Going further, later they were given other conditions and we created sketches of the entire solution region and attempted to describe the domain and range of them.
The most enlightening thing for me about this task is that it would be much more cumbersome without a modern graphing utility. The plots could be done by hand or with a TI, yes. But what is my goal here? To be able to discuss the nature of meeting a condition, or watch kids struggle to even get there because they took 20 minutes to make one pair of graphs?

Really, what if we did look the same? This is another question of the day.
We would see ourselves on the inside. If we judge people on the outside, then seeing yourself (other people), we would see on the inside.
Let's face it: we'd be bored. Looking at "ourselves" all the time would be very boring.
Maybe we'd be irritated. If someone makes fun of you, it would be like looking in a mirror. But at the same time, that person probably wouldn't do that because they're making fun of themself.
We would possibly blend in. Even though we would see eachother on the inside, over time we would act like eachother because we look like eachother. Just like when you dress exactly like your boss at work (awkward also) you'd probably feel more controlled by your boss.
If we fight to be different, we'd spill stains on our shirts or mess up our hair. If we really want to fight to be different, we'd start off with little things and work our way up. Although, it would be hard at the same time, considering that we all look the same.
We wouldn't fight for beauty. We wouldn't want to be beautiful, because there's not much to compare for. Unless you REALLY want to be different.
I pretty much listed a lot of possible situations for this problem (or solution) depending on the group that decides to stay the same, or fight to be different. There are probably more reasons on why we should fight to be different and should be individuals, and being independent. I would fight to be different. Would you?

A 24-year-old man accused of raping a woman in her car behind a bar in downtown Longmont earlier this year is facing two felony charges.
Edgar Ramirez-Martinez was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault/victim incapable of appraising and sexual assault/victim physically helpless on Tuesday.
Ramirez-Martinez, who lists a current address in Boulder, was later released on a $10,000 bond Tuesday.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday to receive his official charges.
According to an arrest affidavit, the victim told police that she and coworkers had been at Breaker's Bar and Grill at 380 Main St. on April 21 for a goodbye party for Ramirez-Martinez.
They had also met earlier at someone's home for a get-together that didn't involve much drinking, she said.
The victim said that after her second drink, she started to feel dizzy and stopped drinking. She ended up getting sick, although she wondered how. She blacked out for parts of the night, according to the affidavit, and next remembered waking up in the back seat of her car.
She didn't remember how she got to the car, she told police, and she still felt sick. Ramirez-Martinez was there and pulled her pants down, according to the affidavit.
Ramirez-Martinez then raped her, according to what the victim told police, and she felt as though she couldn't say no. She got sick again and began to vomit as she lay there.
The victim told police she had thought of Ramirez-Martinez as a friend and that it was hard to think about what had happened, according to the affidavit, but she hoped reporting it could prevent something similar from happening to someone else in the future.
The alleged assault took place in the early hours of April 22, and the victim reported it later the same day.
The victim took a Sexual Assault Nurses Examination, or SANE, that day as well, and allowed police to search her car. DNA swabs from Ramirez-Martinez were collected later, on June 12, and Longmont police are still awaiting results.
According to the affidavit, police spoke with witnesses who also attended the party that night. One witness was sober that night and tried to help the victim and an intoxicated friend get home.
Earlier in the night, the sober witness went to buy drinks for Ramirez-Martinez, but was refused by the bartender, who said they were no longer selling to him because he was too intoxicated.
The sober witness also told police that she saw the victim dancing and having a good time, and then it seemed in an instant she had to be held up and helped to the bathroom.
Later, the sober witness helped the victim to the victim's car, according to the affidavit. The witness kept going back into the bar to convince the victim's friend, who was intoxicated, to leave with her. Ramirez-Martinez and another man also helped get the victim to her car, and the sober witness asked Ramirez-Martinez to stay with her while she went back into the bar.
The other woman, who was drunk, was refusing to leave the bar.
When the sober witness returned to the car, Ramirez-Martinez said he couldn't go back into the bar because he had an old ID and they wouldn't let him back in, according to the affidavit.
The witness told police she was angry with herself for not questioning him further, but she was worried about the two women she was trying to get out.
Finally, the witness convinced the intoxicated friend to go home with the victim. As they walked to the car, the friend said that the victim was having sex with Ramirez-Martinez in her car.
When the sober witness opened the back car door, they saw Ramirez-Martinez sitting on a seat with his pants down, and the victim leaning on the other side with her pants and underwear down, according to the affidavit.
After she asked Ramirez-Martinez what he was doing, he said,"She wanted it. No, no, I didn't do anything," according to the affidavit.
The witness then got into the car and quickly drove away with the victim. When she pulled over to defog the windshield, she checked on the victim and found her still leaning on her side and thought she "might drown in her own vomit," according to the affidavit. She pulled the victim's pants up and sat her up.
Once at the witness's home, the witness told police it was difficult to get the victim inside. The witness described her as "totally limp," according to the affidavit. Later in the morning, she found that the victim had left.
The woman who hosted the party earlier in the night also spoke with police. According to an affidavit, she said that Ramirez-Martinez had been aggressive with a friend in the past when she had hosted people at her home for a porch wedding. The friend had kicked him out of the spare bedroom and locked the door until he left, according to the affidavit.
The friend who was intoxicated at Breaker's told police she drank more than usual that night, and the bartenders cut many of them off. According to the affidavit, she said that Ramirez-Martinez had asked her to go to his truck while her friends were in the bathroom, but he wouldn't tell her what for.
According to Colorado courts records, Ramirez-Martinez has previous traffic convictions for driving under the influence and driving without a license, among other violations.

Lakeridge principal named to head West Hill Now! efforts
April 11, 2016—Lakeridge Elementary School Principal Jessica Calabrese Granger has been appointed to serve as the Chief of School Improvement, pending School Board approval. In her new role, Jessica will provide intensive support to specific schools and principals identified by the Assistant Superintendent of Learning and Teaching. For the 2016-17 school year, she will support the West Hill NOW! efforts that are focused on Bryn Mawr, Campbell Hill, and Lakeridge elementary schools.
Jessica has served as principal at Lakeridge Elementary since 2011. During her tenure at Lakeridge, she has partnered with staff to lead a remarkable turnaround at the school as student performance has increased markedly in both math and English/Language Arts. These improvements recently resulted in the Lakeridge Elementary School teachers, staff, parents, and administration being selected as recipients of the 2016 Golden Apple Award.
A graduate of both UC Davis and Seattle University, Jessica started her career as a 7th/8th grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher in the Pleasant Valley School District in California. She joined the Renton team in 2003 as a professional development coach at Campbell Hill and Lakeridge elementary schools, and Dimmitt Middle School. She continued in that role through 2007, before becoming assistant principal at Dimmitt for four years before taking on the duties as principal at Lakeridge.
"We are excited that Jessica is willing to take on this new opportunity," said Dr. Damien Pattenaude, the district's assistant superintendent of Teaching and Learning. "We look forward to her continuing to push our practice and helping us find innovative ways to provide outstanding service, support, and leadership to and for our students, staff, families, and community."

Experts Available to Comment on Mono Lake Microbe
3-Dec-2010 9:00 AM EST
Available for logged-in reporters only
Argonne National Lab/UChicago experts available to comment on life-redefining Mono Lake microbe
Newswise — Two scientists with joint appointments at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago are available to comment on NASA's announcement regarding the novel discovery of a microbe in Mono Lake, California, which is able to thrive and reproduce using the toxic chemical arsenic.
The two scientists are Dion Antonopoulos, assistant biologist at Argonne and assistant professor of gastroenterology at UChicago; and Jack Gilbert, an environmental microbiologist at Argonne and assistant professor of ecology & evolution at UChicago. Both men have expertise in metagenomics, (the recovery of genetic material directly from environmental samples).
A microbiologist, Antonopoulos works in Argonne and UChicago's joint Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, where he performs research in environmental microbiology and metagenomics. He applies next-generation DNA sequencing technologies to better understand the communities of microorganisms that live and breathe within soil systems as they relate to greenhouse-gas production and climate change. At the University of Chicago, Antonopoulos applies the same analytical approaches to understanding the assemblage of microorganisms that live on and within the human body as they relate to human health.
Gilbert pursues research in microbial ecology and biotechnology. He applies next-generation sequencing technologies to improve the yield of novel biocatalysts from microbial metagenomics. He also tests fundamental hypotheses in microbial ecology, focusing on analyzing microbial function and diversity. He is a member of the board of Genomic Standards Consortium, a non-profit organization committed to improving metadata standards for metagenomic data submissions.

83% of UK Facebook users like to do it on the phone (or tablet)
According to Facebook, 83 percent of UK users like to access the social network from a smartphone or mobile.
In total, more than 24 million people in the UK log-on to the service each day, with some 33 million people visiting each month. Judging from those figures, a quick sum reveals that around 20 million users access from a mobile each day.
With four out of five daily UK visitors now accessing the site via a phone or tablet (app or browser) and Facebook reporting increases in its mobile revenue, perhaps the social network can finally lay to rest claims that it doesn't know how to drive mobile usage, and more importantly, turn those visits into profit.

Industry expertise
Is it still worthwhile manufacturing in Australia? It is if you are a niche manufacturer, and have a reason to manufacture in Australia and a competitive advantage. This could be a geographical competitive advantage, a specialised form of intellectual property, workforce, infrastructure or other barriers to entry.
From the time you commence your engagement with Fordham, we will challenge the business decisions you are making. Many of these decisions may not be active decisions you have made, as you may be continuing to do something in a particular way "because that is the way it has always been done".
Do you know how each of your products contributes to the bottom line? Are you manufacturing at a loss or even a marginal contribution? Believe it or not, this may be worthwhile.
Does your internal financial reporting provide you with accurate information on a timely basis to make the business decisions you need to make. How is your business going to change over the next five years?
We act for a number of well known manufacturers in Victoria, and believe we can work with you to optimise your business in line with your personal objectives. We also act for businesses with an offshore manufacturing base.
There are a range of critical issues to consider including local content, local ownership and taxation.

Multi Aquaculture Onshore and Offshore
The United States is experiencing a national crisis due to the loss of whole populations of fish and shellfish in coastal waters. Wild stocks of shellfish and finfish have significantly declined worldwide due to poor management, pollution, fishing pressure both recreationally and commercially, as well as climate shifts.
The U.S. imported over $13.1 billion of seafood in 2006. After exports are deducted, the U.S. seafood trade deficit is approaching $11 billion and climbing. The United States will need an additional two million metric tons of seafood per year by 2025, based on projections by the USDA. Sustainable aquaculture can take some of the pressure off of the wild fishery while meeting increased demands for seafood. In 2011 a milestone was reached. Over half of the seafood consumed worldwide now originates from aquaculture facilities.
Locations of the fish farm onshore and offshore sites
Multi Aquaculture hatches, broods and prepares its offshore crops at its onshore facilities in Amagansett, in an area called Promised Land. Year-old fingerlings are transferred in special containers to the offshore net pens to grow naturally in voluminous pens in the natural marine environment.
A view of our offshore fish Farm
Trained personnel deliver food daily to the offshore site, intermingling fish feeding with scuba dives to monitor containment net and mooring system integrity.
Multi Aquaculture onshore facilities at the Promised Land
In mid-autumn, the juvenile fish – much larger than when they first went offshore – are transferred back to the onshore facility where they are held in the many pools until they are picked up by distributors, local restauranters and visitors to the fish farm.

In 2012 I posted in this blog an excruciatingly important piece about finding emoji on your Mac. In 2013 Apple released its latest operating system OS X.9 Mavericks, and the emoji disappeared. In 2014, I made an effort to find them again. Clearly, 2014 is a busy year.
Previously they were locked away in something called characterpalette.app. Now they are just a shortcut away: click where you want to type and go
command + control + space
That's it.
Still nothing intuitive about it, unless you are the kind of person who intuitively goes command + control + space but it works.
The emoji palette pops up right where you put your cursor. Drag it away to keep it open or it will close after you click your first character.
And yes, you no longer need to endure the arduousness of dragging your little smily, grimacing, crying faces or flying teapots to the place you want them. You just click on what you want.
But does it work in WordPress yet?
✔. 🍰, as they say.
And if you click on the odd square icon in the top right corner of your character palette, you get a choice of symbols that have some actual typographical use value, like special punctuation, currency symbols, pictographs, maths symbols, bullets and all that sort of stuff.
So that's my good deed done for 2014. I'll see you in 2015 when the palette disappears with the next OS upgrade.
Meanwhile, I am going to get on with writing the world's first novel to be crafted from cute cat faces. 😸
🍻 to all.

1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 medium cabbage, chopped
1 cup water
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon margarine
Slowly cook apple and onion in 2 tablespoons margarine for 10
minutes. Add cabbage and water. Cover and steam for 20 minutes or
until tender. Stir in the brown sugar and vinegar. Just before serving,
add 1 tablespoon margarine and salt and pepper.
Serves 4-6
1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 small head cabbage, shredded (about 1 pound)
1 can (28 ounce) Mexican-style tomatoes with liquid
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Hot cooked rice, 4-6 cups
In a heavy pan, brown the beef and onion. Drain the fat. Stir
in cabbage. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until cabbage is crisp-tender.
Stir in tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook 10
minutes more, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice.
3 cups chopped cabbage
2 large carrots, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 medium dill pickle, chopped
6-8 tablespoons light Italian salad dressing
In a bowl, toss first five ingredients. Add enough salad dressing
to moisten.
Serves 2
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup grated raw potato
1 1/2 teaspoons margarine
Pinch salt and pepper
1 teaspoon vinegar
In a small saucepan, cook cabbage in water until tender, stirring
occasionally; drain. Add the rest of ingredients. Cook and stir

When you think of chia seeds, you may think of chia pets, those clay figurines with sprouts of chia that resemble green fur. But did you know that chia seeds can be a healthy addition to your diet?
Chia seeds are from the desert plant Salvia Hispanica, which is a member of the mint family. They're an unprocessed, whole-grain food that your body can digest as whole seeds. Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants.

Yoenis Cespedes Remains with the Mets
The New York Mets made the first big splash of the offseason by bringing back OF Yoenis Cespedes on a whopping 4 year, $110M contract. The deal keeps the 31 year old star in Queens through the 2020 season, with an annual average salary of $27.5M, 2nd only to Miguel Cabrera ($31M) among active position players.
Salary-wise the deal breaks down at $22.5M in 2017, $29M in 2018, $29M in 2019, and $29.5M in 2020. Since joining the Mets in August of 2015 Cespedes has reeled in $31.2M. Upon completion of his new deal, he'll have earned $173.5M in 9 MLB seasons with the A's, Red Sox, Tigers, and Mets.
It's the largest free agent contract ever signed by the Mets, and in terms of the AAV, the largest multi-year free agent contract ever signed by an outfielder.
Our projection formula set Cespedes' market value just shy of $25M this offseason, with age and games missed due to injury a factor in the reduced rate. The Mets were clearly able to reach a bit to get their man back.
In terms of payroll, the Mets currently have $110M allocated to 8 currently signed players. New York has 8 players set to hit arbitration, notably Matt Harvey, Jeurys Familia, and Addison Reed, while 10 others remain under pre-arbitration control. Big picture, bringing back a bat like Cespedes' (or something comparable) was the Mets one goal this offseason, and they clearly weren't waiting for the market to heat up to get the job done.
Cespedes' huge annual salary now resets the market for a crop of young players nearing their first big pay day, including Bryce Harper, Nolan Arrenado, & Manny Machado.

Earlier in 2015, Atlanta Hawks guard Thabo Sefolosha got into some trouble when he got into it with NYPD officers outside of a Manhattan nightclub.
As a result of the scuffle, Sefolosha suffered a broken leg that sidelined him for the entirety of last season's playoffs.
Due to what happened on that night in April, the guard is suing the officers and the City of New York for up to $50 million due to the injuries he sustained that night.
Want to become a GMS writer? Sign up now and submit a 250 word test article: https://gms.to/haveyoursay4
On Wednesday, the New York Post reported that the guard had originally filed a legal notice of claim during the summer. Since breaking his leg, Sefolosha has been seen playing again but according to his attorney, Sefolosha is still not 100%.
"Unfortunately, he may not be dunking as much as he was before this happened," defense lawyer Alex Spiro said.
The Hawks played on this statement with a funny tweet expressing that they had full confidence in Sefolosha's playing abilities.
After the incident, Sefolosha was charged with obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Just this month he was found not guilty on all charges by a jury. After the decision was made Sefolosha said:
"This is just an incredible moment—to be able to clear my name."
"I just wanted truth to come out and justice to come out. I knew what happened that night and I feel like the world now knows as well."
In a report of the event, James McKinley of the New York Times made a point of the plea offer that the Manhattan district attorney's office made to the guard.
They offered to drop all the charges against him if he completed one day of community service.
Sefolosha though decided that he would fight the charges because he believed the injuries he sustained were a direct result of the incident.
On Monday, Sefolosha confirmed with Hannah Storm of ESPN that he would, in fact, be suing the city of New York and eight NYPD officers as well.
Thus far in the postseason Sefolosha has played in three games with an average of six points. As he recovers he should being to see more playing time and the Hawks and their fans should hope that by October 27 when they play the Detroit Pistons.

Station North Koban Project
Since 2013, Station North has produced temporary installations and performances at the Police Koban at the corner of N Charles Street and E Lanvale Street, the southern gateway to the Station North Arts & Entertainment District. Loring Cornish's installation will permanently convert the abandoned structure into a work of art with mirrored, stained, and colored glass.
Acknowledging its past use as a Police Box, the installation directly addresses conflict between police and citizens, as well as the recent Baltimore Uprising. The glass mosaic features messages of hope directed towards police, with the goal of creating an inspirational beacon at the entrance to Station North.
"I'm giving the Police Box a complete makeover to make it more appealing to all that view it," notes Cornish. "Police across the country should begin to change current operating practices that have made millions of Americans very uncomfortable."
View photos of Loring Cornish at work at our Koban Project in Process gallery.
View photos of the completed installation in our Change for the Better gallery.
About Loring Cornish
Loring Cornish, a Baltimore based visionary artist, was drawn to mosaics almost accidentally. While repairing the termite-damaged floor of a house he was renting, he was given some broken tiles. He glued them to the floor to cover the holes. One thing led to another, and pretty soon the floor and walls were covered with materials. He covered one whole wall with pennies. When Cornish started, he was gathering and collecting materials with a shopping cart. He took junk and trash off the streets and alleys and turned it into art. Now some of that junk and trash is hanging in museums. He still finds materials just about anywhere, making art out of what the city has to offer, using whatever is in season.
For more information on Loring Cornish, visit www.loringcornish.com
Change for the Better is made possible through the generous support of the ArtPlace America. Station North Arts & Entertainment, Inc. expresses its deepest gratitude to the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, the Blaustein Foundation, the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, and MICA for their support of the organization.
Change for the Better is part of Transit, an initiative of the Washington, DC cluster of the European Union National Institutes for Culture and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, supported by a grant from the European Union, and ArtPlace America, a collaboration of leading national and regional foundations, banks and federal agencies accelerating creative placemaking across the US.

Win pair of MOMENTUM True Wireless

Ricoh's Caplio GX100 is a high end camera for experienced users. While average photographers may not fully appreciate the wide angle shooting and extremely crisp shots it produces, there is no doubt it's a great camera if you can afford it.
Ricoh always seem to go the extra step to differentiate themselves from the crowd. While far from the most well known brand, their products typically have a sense of craftsmanship and class that few others can replicate, and the GX100 is no exception. Sporting a 10 megapixel sensor, a stylish design that resembles the elegant GR Digital and a wide angled 24-72mm wide angle lens, (with scope for an even wider 19mm extension to be attached) it certainly is an appealing device. There are some minor image quality issues, and as usual with top end Ricoh models, cost is somewhat of a concern, but for enthusiast photographers it's a good choice.
The most notable aspect of the GX100 is its wide angle shooting capabilities. The 24mm-72mm lens allows for a much broader picture than a standard compact camera. This has a whole range of applications, from fitting more people into group shots to taking better landscapes. For those who aren't satisfied with a mere 24mm lens however, Ricoh also provide an optional attachment that enhances this further to 19mm, extending the view even further. The attachment simply screws on to the front of the unit and is easy to connect, although we do feel like the construction could have been a little better. It's essentially just an extra piece of glass at the end of a piece of tubing. It manages to do the job, but it's a little flimsy and will pick up dust quite easily.
Another nifty accessory available for the GX100 is the electronic viewfinder. The unit itself has no viewfinder built in, instead relying on the 2.5in LCD display to frame your shots, but you can connect an external electronic one via the hotshoe. The quality of the image you see isn't great, but it does the job and you can angle it up to 45 degrees for some slightly more difficult shots.
All the attachments in the world won't help if the camera captures poor quality pictures, but fortunately the GX100 performed well in most of our tests. As usual we took a lot of test shots and ran our Imatest testing software to help put the camera through its paces.
In our sharpness test it achieved a great result of 1813, which more than satisfied our expectations of the 10 megapixel sensor. One of Ricoh's claims to fame is that they constantly use extremely high quality components when constructing their cameras and it really shows in the pictures. They were crisp and sharp, with no fringing and great detail. Amateur and enthusiast photographers alike will be able to appreciate the exceptional shots this unit takes.
Chromatic aberration was barely a problem either. There was almost no visible sign of haloing in our test shots, not even in the high contrast charts which tax almost every camera. In our colour tests, the GX100's performance was slightly more modest, with it achieving a score of 9.04. Our shots were quite well balanced, tending towards the dull side rather than over saturating everything like many compact units. This was most evident in shades of blue but reds also exhibited some minor error.
The only area this model disappointed a little was noise performance. At ISO 100 it scored 0.81%, which is a little on the high side. Our shots had some visible speckling, although it won't be evident unless you make reasonably large prints. The noise jumped up sharply as we increased the sensitivity though, and by ISO 400 the pictures became largely unusable. This is a little disappointing as most modern cameras perform very nicely at ISO 400. The pictures may still be suitable for small 4in x 6in prints, but serious photographers will simply find them too noisy to be practical.
We also ran our standard speed tests, with some mixed results. On one hand, the GX100 was extremely quick in most areas, exhibiting 0.07 seconds shutter lag, 0.8 seconds shot-to-shot time and 1.6 seconds power up time. However these were all dependant on the focusing. Depending on where our camera was in relation to the target, it could take anywhere from 0.2 of a second to over a second to focus. This only seemed to be an issue with relatively close range targets as when we were shooting outdoors everything happened very smoothly.
Ricoh has packed basically every feature you could want in the GX100. Shutter, Aperture and Program priority modes are all available, along with full manual shooting. Aperture extends from f/2.5 to f/9.1 when in wide mode and f/4.4 to f/15.8 when zoomed. All the standard focus and metering options are on offer and the burst mode operates at a healthy three frames per second. Eight scene modes are included for less experienced users and there is also the very nifty ability to save your settings configuration to one of two spots on the function wheel, which can be flicked to in an instant.
The camera is relatively easy to use thanks to the brilliant control layout. While Ricoh certainly has included a lot of buttons on the GX100, everything is where you'd expect it and experienced photographers will find that when they pick the unit up their fingers naturally fall in all the right places. The only exception is the zoom controls, which are stuck in the very top right hand corner and require you to alter your grip to use them properly.
This is no surprise considering Ricoh's strength when it comes to design, and as usual the aesthetics of the unit corroborate this. The black rubber and plastic constructed combined with the long, thin shape all lend a certain classic feel to the GX100. Similar to the GR Digital, it somewhat resembles an old film camera and should suit users who want a sophisticated but not flashy camera.

PARLIAMENT - President Cyril Ramaphosa on Tuesday called for national unity and a new social compact to revive the economy and ease the plight of South Africa's poor majority.
"One thing that we will unite on is advancing the interests of our people," Ramaphosa said in his reply to the debate on his maiden state-of-the-nation address.
He urged all parties represented in Parliament to work together to tackle a weak economy, poverty and joblessness.
"There will necessary be much contestation and vigorous debate...but I concur with the sentiment that we need to unite as parties to support this goal of a developmental state, as well as an inclusive economy," Ramaphosa said.
He dismissed criticism from the opposition that he had used his address last week to announce a host of summits, including one on job creation, because he lacked a clear plan on how to steer the country in the wake of Jacob Zuma's forced resignation from the presidency last week.
Ramaphosa demurred that he had a blueprint in the form of the National Development Plan, and added that it was democratic tradition in South Africa to have a wide dialogue on every issue of critical importance.
The Constitution, he recalled, saw nearly two million submissions from the public when he was steering its drafting two decades ago.
"This is how our people want to be involved, they say nothing about us without us."
He responded to an emotional debate focused on his promise to push ahead with a new African National Congress (ANC) policy of land expropriation without compensation, by invoking Nelson Mandela and saying the measure would help to heal a historic injustice of black South Africans being stripped of their land.
Ramaphosa recalled that earlier in the day, on a walkabout in the working class suburb of Athlone, he had asked Cedric Alberts, a man in his seventies, where he lived. Alberts replied that he was evicted from District Six at the end of the sixties and to this day had never managed to acquire another home, but rented instead.
"This is a pain that needs to be addressed, it is a division we must heal," the new president said.
"So therefore what we need to do, is we need to interrogate the statement that expropriation with compensation is contrary to a flourishing economy."
He called the dispossession of the indigent through the Land Act early in the last century "the original sin", and said it had disempowered and impoverished black South Africans.
Expropriation without compensation should be part of a strategy to speed up land reform to revive the agriculture sector and boost food security and rural development, he said.
Responding to a rhetorical question from Congress of the People (Cope) leader Mosiuoa Lekota as to how government would distinguish between those it considered "our people", as opposed to the rest from whom land could be taken, Ramaphosa spoke of the poor.
He mentioned the homeless who live on street benches outside Parliament and others who had lost their jobs.
"These are our people," he said.

About Us
Nyko Property are property research advisers who specialise in exclusive 'off market' property investment opportunities throughout Australia. We do not offer property directly to the public, nor do we sell property for private vendors. All property purchased through Nyko Property is via our partnership program.
Nyko Property does not offer property direct to the public. Think of us as a body who research and assess projects for their investor suitability before offering them onto our approved intermediaries for sale. Nyko Property's intermediaries are primarily accountants, financial planners, mortgage brokers, bankers, solicitors and investment estate agents – nationally and globally.
Our intermediaries directly benefit from Nyko Property's ability to accurately identify quality property investment opportunities for their clients which cannot be found on the open market. Most of Nyko Property's projects are exclusive to our intermediaries – giving our partner's clients access to a range of 'off market' property that is unavailable to the broader public.
Third Party Validation
Nyko Property also offers extensive due diligence research reports performed on each project. This includes Third Party Validation, completed by respected firms and confirming the research data collected by Nyko Property. The Third Part Validation consists of 3 independent reports on the key components of property investment.
- Price – An independent property valuation is conducted by one of Australia's top tier valuation firms to set an accurate market price on the project. This price is not determined by Nyko Property or the vendor, and ensures our partner's clients are buying at fair value and not an inflated market rate.
- Rental – Nyko Property commissions rental appraisals from local agents relevant to the development's location to identify the rental yield and the suitability of the property to their prospective live tenant pool.
- Tax – An independent tax depreciation schedule is performed by a registered quantity surveyor to estimate the tax effectiveness of the property.
These three reports are accompanied by Nyko Property's own data relevant to the development's location. These elements give our intermediaries and their clients an unprecedented depth of information, offering them all they need to make an educated investment decision.

Special to The Hays Daily News
Christian rock/pop band Cloverton will be taking its high-energy show on the road and performing throughout the members' home state of Kansas during the next few months. Cloverton has five shows planned in Kansas, including Hays, before the end of the year with more to come in 2010.
The band will perform at 9 a.m. Dec. 6 at Celebration Community Church. The tour also includes performances in Manhattan, Salina and Clay Center.
The quintet, led by lead vocalist and pianist Lance Stafford, a Hill City native, has been busy promoting a new five-song EP. The first single off the EP, "Hope Inside" will be released in January. While their musical influences reach from Coldplay to Leeland and Third Day, their inspiration comes from their faith.
"There are words and melodies that God has written on people's hearts that connect us to him and to each other," Stafford said.
The band also includes Layne Stafford -- Stafford's brother -- on vocals and bass, Tim Brantl on lead guitar, Matt Brown on guitar and Kirby LeMoine on drums
Cloverton's road to music began after the five met while playing in a worship band together, but it wasn't until Stafford ventured to Nashville and secretly entered and performed solo in Embassy Music's Talent Search that Cloverton's voice was finally heard on a larger stage. Stafford went on to win the talent search.
