After cracking 277 in the first Test match in a drawn cause, Smith followed up with another double-hundred in this game, this time in a winning cause. This innings registers a very high impact primarily because of South Africa needing only one innings to win the match and also marks his second-highest impact innings in his career in a match context.
Shahid Afridi's belligerent knock of 34 runs off 18 balls made him emerge as the second-highest impact batsman for Pakistan in their Asia cup tie against India and also marked his highest impact knock in his last 20 outings as a batsman. Being the dazzling player that he is, it undoubtedly had to come against India in a storybook finish for the Pakistanis. A kind of finish which was visualised in this Star Sports advertisement only for it to happen the other way around.
Ravindra Jadeja's ability to play under pressure (2nd-highest Pressure Impact batsman for India in ODIs) came to the fore as he rescued India from an improbable situation against New Zealand to keep the series alive. His performance in this match was also the third-highest impact all-round performance of his career.
Mitchell Johnson was easily the highest impact player of the series and was rightfully adjudicated the Man of the series for his tally of 37 wickets and 165 runs in 5 matches. Johnson had the highest Wickets Tally Impact, third-highest Economy Impact, highest Pressure-Building Impact (ability to take wickets in quick succession) and the second- highest Efficiency Impact (wickets/runs ratio) in the series (after Harris). Here is a compilation of all of his 37 wickets in the series.
Peter May is one of the highest impact batsmen in Test cricket history who never got his due credit. His high impact is mainly because of his ability to play crucial knocks in his team's second innings of a Test match (particularly the 3rd innings of the match) and also because of his ability to absorb pressure. Here is one such pressure innings where after coming in at 7/3, May cracked a century to give his team's total a sense of respectability.
Kallis' greatest qualities in Test cricket were his ability to absorb pressure and the propensity to build partnerships, neither of which is particularly photogenic. A video that celebrates Kallis' ability to leave the ball - the cornerstone of his success in this format.
Virat Kohli's masterful knock of 119 in the first innings was the 2nd-highest Batting Impact performance (after du Plessis' 134) in the first Test match between India and South Africa. Kohli came into bat when India were struggling at 24-2 and had a considerable Pressure Impact in his innings, he also got additional impact for staving off the new ball (New Ball Impact) at the start of the innings.His knock in the 1st innings almost had thrice the impact than his knock in the 2nd innings.
Sachin Tendulkar's twin centuries in the finals of the CB series in 2008 constitutes his highest impact ODI performances in his career. In the first final, he helped India chase down 240 before following it up with a 91 in the 2nd final to set a target of 259 for the Australians which India went on to win. The result and the tournament was monumental in the fact that this was India's first tri-series win in Australia and this was also only the third time Australia had lost a tri-series at home in the last 11 years.
India levelled a series in England after a long time in a match where Dravid, Ganguly and Tendulkar all got centuries. It was the foundation given by Bangar and Dravid in difficult conditions that led the way for the team making 628-8 and winning by an innings (which is what gives Tendulkar's highest score of the match such a big impact). India drew the series 1-1, the first time in 16 years when they did not lose a series outside Asia. This innings also happens to be Tendulkar's highest impact Test performance in a series context.
We still think no.10 should have been no.1 - and Inzamam should have featured more than once surely, but still, nice compilation.
Stuart Broad emerged as the highest impact performer in the 4th Ashes Test match against Australia with his match figures of 11-121 (which included 7 top-order batsmen) and had an exceptionally high Pressure-Building Impact (taking quick wickets to build pressure) to seal the series for England. He took the wickets of Clarke, Smith, Haddin and Harris in the 2nd innings in a space of 25 runs to swing the momentum towards England after Australia's strong and positive reply at the start.
Shahid Afridi's superhuman display against West Indies in the first ODI was the highest impact performance (all-round) of all-time in ODI cricket history. Interestingly, it was also the highest impact batting and bowling performance (individually) of his career. He came in with Pakistan struggling at 47/5 after 20.1 overs and had a huge Pressure and Strike Rate Impact (76 off 55 balls) before returning with the ball (7-12 off 9 overs) to dismantle the West Indian middle-order.
After his unbeaten knock of 174 runs off 159 balls against India at Jamaica, Upul Tharanga went past Asanka Gurusinha as the eighth-highest impact batsman in Sri Lankan ODI history. He is also the fourth-highest impact Sri Lankan opener after Marvan Atapattu, Sanath Jayasuriya and Tillakaratne Dilshan.
Ravindra Jadeja produced the second-highest bowling impact performance of his career in this Champions Trophy encounter against West Indies by taking 5-36 off his 10 overs. West Indies were cruising at 103-1 off only 19 overs before Jadeja sparked a mini collapse and restricted them to a paltry total of 233 runs. In the end, India chased down the target with 8 wickets to spare.
Coming in at 15/3 against a spirited West Indian attack, Misbah-ul-Haq played the highest impact innings of the tournament by scoring an unbeaten 96 off 127 balls to lead Pakistan to a challenging total of 170. His innings had an exceptionally high Pressure Impact and the total in the end almost proved to be enough for Pakistan.
Coming in at 10-1, chasing 294 against England in a must win game for Sri Lanka, Kumar Sangakkara played the best chasing knock by any batsman in this edition of Champions Trophy by slamming an unbeaten 134 off 135 balls to guide his team home. His innings was also the third-highest impact batting performance in this year's Champions Trophy.
Coming in to bat at 82-3, chasing 265 against India in this ICC Champions Trophy final encounter in 2000, Chris Cairns delivered a performance of the highest quality and produced one of his two series-defining performances (SD) in his career with the bat to see New Zealand through the chase and their first ever victory in a ICC multi-nation tournament (their only one so far).
Perhaps the best moment of this year's IPL, Adam Gilchrist with his first (and last) ball ever in a professional T20 match ended up with a wicket and finished his career where both his batting as well as his bowling records would be hard to surpass.The amount of impact it had? After that Gangnam, it just blasted through the scale.
Brad Hodge's innings of 54 runs off 29 balls in the Eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad was not only the highest impact innings of his IPL career but also the second-highest Chasing Impact innings of this year's IPL (Miller's knock against RCB is the highest).His innings also had an exceptionally high Pressure, Strike Rate and Partnership-building Impact.
Coming in at 51-3, chasing 191 against RCB, David Miller produced the second-highest impact knock of this year's IPL (second only to that of Gayle's 175) by blasting 101 off only 38 balls to take his team through. His innings also had an exceptionally high Chasing (highest in this year's tournament so far), Pressure and Strike Rate Impact.
Mitchell Johnson produced his second-highest impact performance of this year's IPL by taking 3-27 off his 3 overs against CSK to bundle them out for a paltry score of 79 runs. With that performance Johnson also pipped past Harbhajan Singh as Mumbai Indians' second-highest impact bowler of the tournament (after Ojha).
Ambati Rayudu produced the highest Pressure Impact performance of IPL 2012 (alongwith Kieron Pollard) against RCB in a match where Mumbai Indians were reduced to 51-5 in 9 overs chasing a target of 172 runs.With 81 runs off 54 balls, Rayudu not only absorbed pressure for his team but also made sure that he stayed till the end to see Mumbai Indians home in this terrific encounter.
Shikhar Dhawan's debut Test innings (187 off 174 balls) was most remarkable for its strike rate – for which he earned a considerable Strike Rate Impact . Not for nothing was this the fastest century by a debutant in the history of Test cricket. This also happened to be the second highest Batting Impact performance of the series (behind Pujara's 204).
Cheteshwar Pujara's innings of 204 in the 2nd Test match against Australia actually registered a higher impact than Dhoni's blistering innings of 224 in the 1st Test match. Pujara edged ahead primarily because of how poorly Australia batted (thereby reducing the overall base of the match) and also due to the considerable amount of pressure he absorbed (Pressure Impact) after India were initially reduced to 17-1 in the first innings.
MS Dhoni walked in at 196-4 (no mathematical pressure yet but it could have easily have kicked in if India had lost a couple of wickets then) – still 184 behind Australia's score, match wide open at that stage. He comprehensively did a Gilchrist (fittingly against Australia) and was the only batsman to eventually get a Strike Rate Impact in the match (a rarity in Test cricket).
In a display of breathtaking fast bowling at Johannesburg, Dale Steyn ripped apart the Pakistani batting line-up and gave them the ignominy of the third side to be dismissed below 50 in the last 18 months in South Africa (in Tests). This also happens to be Steyn's best bowling figures in a Test innings in South Africa.
Kevin Pietersen produced one of the most memorable and entertaining knocks in his Test career in the 2nd test match against India at Mumbai when he scythed through a spin-heavy attack on a turning track to wrest the initiative from the Indians almost single-handedly. Even on Impact charts, he emerged as the highest impact player of the match (ahead of Monty Panesar) mainly because it made sure that England weren't left chasing much in their second innings.
An old documentary on 45 years of Indian cricket (1932-1976). Despite the romantic slant (which gives a somewhat misleading picture of its real import), and the old-style narration (sometimes dreary), there is no doubt about the value of documenting these moments.
Marlon Samuels' batting in the final (78 off 56; Batting IMPACT 10.36) is the highest impact performance in T20 Internationals history in a Series/Tournament context (and easily the highest impact batting performance of this tournament). Not only did he have to stabilize the innings from 14-2 (with the massive figure of Gayle gone), he also registered a substantial Strike Rate IMPACT of 2.04 (making 1.4 runs off every ball when the match average was barely 1) and he did it at the most crucial juncture in the game.
West Indies may have beaten England but the credit of this becoming a match that lasted till the last over goes to Eoin Morgan.Morgan's innings (71 off 36) had everything – Pressure IMPACT (0.26), Partnership-Building (0.63), the second-highest Runs Tally IMPACT (4.55) and by far the highest Strike Rate IMPACT (1.32).
Imran Nazir(who is Pakistan's highest impact T20 batsman) played a whirlwind knock of 72 off 36 balls (highest Strike Rate IMPACT in the match) to dismiss Bangladesh from the T20 World Cup. He had a high Partnership-Building IMPACT alongwith Mohammad Hafeez and also had the highest Chasing IMPACT to emerge as the highest impact performer for Pakistan in the match.
Harbhajan Singh took 4-12 off his 4 overs (Match IMPACT 7.51), to emerge as the highest impact player of the match against England.Harbhajan came into the attack with England at 39-2 and reduced them to 60-8 which resulted in him having the highest Pressure-Building IMPACT in the match, he also had the highest Economy Rate IMPACT in the match.
Jacques Kallis with his spell of 4-15 in 4 overs knocked Zimbabwe out of the T20 World Cup 2012 and in the process also registered his highest ever Bowling IMPACT (14.44) in the T20 format.
Shane Watson did his reputation of being the best Australian T20 player no harm by turning in an all-round performance (51 off 30; 3-26 in 4 overs) of the highest quality against the Irish and setting up Australia's first win of the 2012 T20 World Cup. He opened with both bat and ball for Australia and finished the match single-handedly both times.
One of the most under-rated bowlers in the T20 format of the game (maybe because he was found wanting in the Test arena), Ajantha Mendis is infact the highest impact bowler in the world when it comes to T20Is and turned in yet another superlative bowling display in this inaugural game of the T20 World Cup 2012 against the Zimbabweans with phenomenal figures of 6-8 off his 4 overs.
Virat Kohli was identified by Impact Index in January 2012 as the greatest chaser in ODI history. The observation was derided then till Hobart, and then later Bangladesh. Earlier this week, against New Zealand, he proved he could do the same in Test cricket too.
One of the great ODI innings in recent times helped South Africa gain an upper hand (1-0 lead) in the ongoing ODI series against England.Amla's evident superiority in this innings got South Africa to a match-winning total of 287 and his excepional Runs Tally IMPACT (proportion of runs scored in the innings) also helps one understand how he emerges as the highest impact batsman for South Africa in their entire ODI history.
Chasing 253 in this CB Series final encounter, England were struggling at 15-3 after the first 6 overs when Paul Collingwood stepped in and along with Ian Bell launched a recovery act of the highest quality. He showed all the qualities of a great ODI batsman and eventually chased down the intimidating target with 4 wickets and 3 balls to spare to give England their first CB Series victory in Australia.
In a stage as big as the 1975 World Cup final, Clive Lloyd walked in to bat with his team in dire straits at 50-3 only to produce the highest impact batting performance of his career (in a series context). Despite being under considerable pressure, this was also Lloyd's highest Strike Rate IMPACT performance in his entire ODI career.
Brett Lee's highest impact bowling performance in a match context came against the South Africans in this VB series group encounter in 2006. Chasing 246, the South Africans were treated by Lee's barrage of fast and accurate bowling and by the time he finished, he had accounted for five of the top 7 South African batsmen to virtually knock them out of the match.
Chasing a modest target of 173 runs against West Indies in this World Series group encounter, Australia were reeling at 38-6 before Michael Bevan alongwith the tail-enders produced a comeback of epic proportions to see them through; scoring 4 runs off the last ball to win the match. This innings also happens to be the 2nd-highest Batting IMPACT performance by an Australian in their entire ODI history (match context).
Andrew Symonds' highest impact performance (all-round) in a series context came against the Sri Lankans in this VB Series final encounter. Coming in at 10-3, Symonds alongwith Ponting launched a counter-attack of the highest quality propelling Australia to a massive score of 368. Symonds also picked up two wickets while bowling to register this performance as the 2nd highest impact all-round performance for Australia in their ODI history after Gary Gilmour's effort in the 1975 World Cup semi-finals.
Coming in to bat at 82-3, chasing 265 against India in this ICC Champions Trophy final encounter in 2000, Chris Cairns delivered a performance of the highest quality and produced one of his two series-defining performances (SD) in his career with the bat to see New Zealand through the chase and their first ever victory in a ICC multi-nation tournament (their only one so far).
Remarkably,5 out of Shane Bond's top 10 impact performances in ODIs are against the greatest team of his era- Australia.Here is his highest impact performance against them in the 2003 World Cup where he took 6-23 off his 10 overs to reduce Australia to 84-7 only to see his side lose by a margin of 96 runs.Undoubtedly,one of the most remarkable bowling performances in the annals of World Cup history.
In reply to New Zealand's fighting total of 200, Australia started on the worst note possible and were reduced to 6-2. Shane Bond, along with Kyle Mills, dominated the proceedings so much that Australia faced 73 dot balls in the first 15 overs. Watson, though, bid his time and by the time he finished, his knock of 105 off 129 balls had won Australia the match along with the ICC Champions Trophy for the second consecutive time.
Chasing 214 to win in this classic World Cup semi-final, South Africa were 48-0 after 12 overs when it took a moment of brilliance from Warne, a delivery reminiscent of the Gatting dismissal to get rid of Gibbs.In a span of 8 balls he had accounted for Gibbs, Kirsten and Cronje and in his last spell got rid of Jacques Kallis to boost the Australians even further.
At a stage as big as the 1979 World Cup final, Viv Richards stepped in and rose to the occasion magnificently. Coming in when West Indies were under a bit of pressure at 22-1, he attacked the English bowling disdainfully and helped West Indies to a total of 286. In reply, England could muster up only 194 runs which eventually meant a second consecutive world title for West Indies – till now, their last.
On a pitch where India made heavy weather of scoring 216 (perhaps weighed down with the series at 1-1), Ijaz Ahmed finished the match off (with Afridi) before a relatively weakened Indian attack knew what hit it.
In Pakistan's happy hunting ground yet again, Sri Lanka chased a seemingly gettable 212 in the Coca-Cola Cup final, but Akram and Razzaq had Sri Lanka at 40-3 before Mahmood came on to bowl – he took the next 5 wickets and finished off the match swiftly, as Sri Lanka collapsed for 123 in 36 overs.
Chasing 259, Australia were jolted early by Praveen Kumar's triple strike and were reduced to 32-3 in the first 9 overs. They never really recovered from that position and even though Michael Hussey and James Hopes led a spirited fight-back, Kumar had done enough to seal the series in India's favour which till date remains their only ODI series win in Australia.
After Jayasuriya had initially played a breathtaking knock of 125 runs to boost the Sri Lankan total to 275 runs, Mendis drove in all the final nails in the coffin to wrest away the initiative Sehwag had generated for India. Mendis prised open the entire Indian middle-order alongwith the wicket of Sehwag and by the time he had finished India were tottering at 154-8 off 32 overs with their chances of winning the Asia Cup gone.
With Sri Lanka faltering at 66-4 in 12 overs, the much needed change of course in their innings was provided by their veteran opener. Jayasuriya steadied the ship alongwith Dilshan and in his usual aggressive manner gave the Sri Lankan innings a much needed thrust to take them to a total of 275 runs. In reply, India fell short by a margin of 100 runs which resulted in an Asia Cup win for the Lankans.
Chasing 300, India had earlier been tormented by a Jayasuriya classic and to their misery and dismay had to endure the brilliance of Chaminda Vaas' bowling display in the second half. Vaas took out the Indian top four in his first spell of 4 overs to reduce them to 18-4 before coming back to finish off the match to give a thumping 245 runs victory to Sri Lanka.
In an exhibition of brutal hitting, Sanath Jayasuriya blasted open the Indian bowling attack in this final encounter of the Coca Cola Champions Trophy in 1999. Jayasuriya's knock came at a time when Sri Lanka were struggling at 116-4 off 28 overs and propelled them to a score of 299 runs. Jayasuriya's innings till date is not only the highest individual score by a Sri Lankan batsman in an ODI innings but is also the highest impact batting performance in the history of ODI cricket.
In this 1st final of the Silver Jubilee Independence Cup at Dhaka, Pakistan after electing to bat first managed to post a competitive total of 212 runs in a fog reduced 46 overs match. India in reply, rolled off to a blazing start with Tendulkar being the main initiator. By the time he was dismissed India needed only a further 54 runs to win off 21 overs. Undoubtedly, one of Tendulkar's most unheralded ODI innings.
After being reduced to 18-3 in the first six overs, the Indian innings got its much needed boost through Azharuddin's blistering counter attack against a dominant South African bowling attack in this Hero Cup semi-final encounter. Even though India posted only 195 runs on board (with Azharuddin scoring 46% of it) it proved to be enough for them to seal the deal against the South Africans.
Chasing 226, West Indies were at 101-4 on a sluggish track before Anil Kumble put them out of their misery with a six-wicket haul. Kumble accounted for the last 6 West Indian wickets within a space of 26 balls and in the process conceded only 4 runs. His overall figures of 6-12 till date remains the best individual performance by an Indian bowler.
Though chasing in crunch situations has never been Sachin Tendulkar's forte, this particular innings will undoubtedly go down as one of his best while chasing (other than the Sharjah one) for India's cause. With India struggling at 87-3 chasing 240 against a disciplined Aussie bowling attack, Tendulkar not only held and scored from one end but also guided a young Rohit Sharma on the other. His contribution led to India winning the 1st CB series final and eventually the series.
In this Natwest series final encounter, New Zealand after batting first, posted a competitive score of 266 for the West Indians to chase. West Indies, in reply crashed from 105-3 to 159 all out. Out of those seven wickets, five were taken by Vettori which led to New Zealand winning their first ever Natwest trophy. This is also the highest impact bowling performance by a New Zealander in a series context in their ODI history.
With the series tied at 2-2, New Zealand had a strong start to their chase of 219 when suddenly a mini-collapse reduced them from 55-0 to 80-3. It was up to Nathan Astle to save the day for the New Zealanders. Did he manage to do it? Not for nothing is Nathan Astle New Zealand's biggest series-defining player in their ODI history.
The bowling equivalent of Miandad's famous last-ball six off Chetan Sharma was Aaquib Javed's hat-trick in the same venue 5 years later in the Wills Trophy Final. Chasing 263, India were 47-1 when Shastri, Azharuddin and Tendulkar were dismissed off successive balls – all lbw, by Javed who went on to take 7-37 as India were dismissed for 190 in 46 overs. This effort is also the highest impact bowling performance in Pakistan's ODI history.
Chasing 285 against Pakistan in this Champions Trophy final encounter, Brian Lara made sure that he gave an attacking start as an opener. His flaying of the Pakistani attack, (which was a bit weakened by the absence of Aaqib Javed and Wasim Akram) saw him smacking 21 boundaries and by the time he was dismissed, West Indies were only 11 runs short of the target.
In this third final of the Benson and Hedges World Series Cup, Australia were tottering at 23-2 due to Garner's (highest impact bowler in West Indies' history) fiery brand of pace bowling. When he returned for his next spell, Australia collapsed from 185-5 to 212-8. In reply, West Indies easily chased down the target with six wickets to spare.
Michael Holding (2nd highest impact bowler in West Indies' history) made sure the Benson & Hedges trophy stayed with the West Indians in the 1984-85 series. In a devastating spell of fast bowling he tore open the Australian middle order. When Holding came in to bowl, Australia were 51-1, when he left they were reeling at 89-7.
The second final against Australia in the VB Series of 2003. England chasing 230, crumble to 20-3 due to Lee's fiery opening spell but a middle-order recovery leaves them needing only 14 runs of the last 3 overs. Match over? Check it out. Not for nothing is Brett Lee Australia's highest impact player in ODI history.
(Video 2/2)Continued from yesterday's video. Chasing 94 to win (thanks to Gilmour's 6-14), Australia were 39-6 when out came Gilmour. His 28 off 28 finished off the match and put the cap on one of the great all-round feats. More here.
(Video 1/2)The second-highest impact performance in the history of ODI cricket came in the 1975 World Cup semi-final encounter between England and Australia. Under overcast conditions, Gilmour produced 6-14 off a single spell of 12 overs – a landmark performance. And he had only done half the work.

A Photo Montage to Gladden Even the Most Saddened Heart
I don't know who these people--these counter-protesters--are personally, but they are my new superheroes and -heroines.
They restore my faith in the America of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee that I was raised in, when the Fantastic Four and X-Men taught me--taught all willing to see--that being "different" was just another way of being special, as every episode of Glee musically illustrates.

EPHRATA, Wash. (AP) - A Montana man has been convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of his former girlfriend's new boyfriend in Ephrata, Wash.
The Columbia Basin Herald reports (http://bit.ly/QeVhEh ) a jury convicted 31-year-old David Nickels of East Helena, Mont., of killing 35-year-old Sage Munro in December 2009. The trial lasted six weeks and jurors deliberated for about five days before returning the verdict on Thursday.
Nickels' sentencing is set for Sept. 18.
Prosecutors alleged Nickels shot Munro because Munro was dating Marita Messick, Nickels' former girlfriend.
Prosecutors alleged Nickels threatened to burn Munro's house down when he first learned about the relationship and later asked a man with a manslaughter conviction if he would kill someone for him.

(UPDATED: 11 p.m.)
One refreshing thing about Fredi Gonzalez, unlike so many in his position, is that he's not going to try to project himself as someone who has all the answers.
He'll listen to criticism. He'll seek feedback from his Yoda-like predecessor, Bobby Cox. He'll talk to former managers who are now long into retirement, and even managers on other teams. If ultimately Gonzalez fails as manager of the Braves, it won't be because of ego, arrogance or obstinance.
"I talk to other managers all the time, people I respect," Gonzalez said Friday. "Why not? I talk to them about dealing with different situations, dealing with crisis. But the bottom line, what most of them say, is you just have to be yourself. You have to be honest with players. You're going to make decisions that are going to be second-guessed. That goes with the territory. But at the end of the day, you can't tell yourself, 'Oh, I should've done this or that,' even though there are always situations when you're going to feel like that."
We can't be certain what Gonzalez was feeling late Thursday night, except to assume it wasn't good. As the calendar turns to September, the Braves are sliding again. We know what happened last time they were here. Several decades from now, when Turner Field is gone, people likely will pass by the former stadium site and hear horrifying screams, as if it's some haunted former battlefield or asylum.
Here are details of the latest bad ending: With the Braves leading 5-4, closer Craig Kimbrel allowed a game-tying homer to Erik Kratz in the ninth and Cristhian Martinez gave up a three-run bomb to John Mayberry in the 10th. The 8-5 loss to Philadelphia, which opened a homestand, buried the Braves another foot in the National League East (they're now 6½ games behind Washington). The bigger concern is that they've now dropped nine of their last 13.
Gonzalez took a lot of heat for the team's 10-20 slide last season. The criticism wasn't because of one back-fired decision in particular, but merely because he was the guy in charge when the team caved in like a sinkhole. He tried to stop it. He called meetings. He benched guys. He changed the lineup, the batting order, the color of his socks. If he overused the bullpen, it's only because the Braves' starting rotation had imploded. It's not like he had a lot of options.
But the Braves went down on his watch, so it was on him.
If they go down again, it will be on Gonzalez again. The only difference this time would be that he would be left with less certainty about his future. Ownership would be criticized because, well, has anybody ever actually met a Liberty Media executive? General manager Frank Wren will be criticized because he was content to come back this season with largely the same team this season.
But owners don't get fired and Wren is afforded more of a platform to convince decision makers that he handed Gonzalez a playoff roster despite budget constraints (albeit, constraints created in part by Wren's decisions to give big deals to Derek Lowe and Kenshin Kawakami and Dan Uggla). So really, this home stretch is on Gonzalez.
"I took heat last year, but that's OK," Gonzalez said. "You have the bulls-eye on you when you're the manager or you have the head coach's title."
The Braves aren't a bad team. They're just not great, or currently stable. It's only natural when there's a losing streak and fans hear thunder that they're going to look up and wonder, "Oh no. Not again."
Gonzalez said before the season that he had gone over last year's demise a zillion times in his head. When asked what he would do differently in a similar situation, he said he wasn't sure but he'd try anything. He didn't offer any more insight Friday.
"You have to be patient," he said. "You can move guys down in the lineup, give them a day off. But in the end they're your guys. Every move you make, if it works people say, 'Great job, Fredi.' If it doesn't work, it's, 'Fredi created a panic situation.' At the end of the day, you can't have regrets.
"We chose this profession. I was watching Jon Gruden interviewed on HBO, and I think his dad was quoted in his book saying, 'Jon, if you don't change your ways, this job is going to kill you.' They asked Gruden about that and his eyes started watering. That's the stuff that we take home every day."
What Gonzalez has been taking home of late can't be good — and his team is not giving any indication that's going to change.

Tampa's Joe Maddon is the best manager in baseball. Fredi should call him.
August 31st, 2012
7:17 pm
He's done a great job with a limited payroll and starting pitchers that haven't produced. Frank has too. If people don't like what they have, they should show up more. 40,000 a night buys a lot of talent. See the Phillies the past few years for your example.

Wren is the one who should be fired. Miss the playoffs this season that'll be 1 playoff appearance in 5 seasons for Wren
August 31st, 2012
7:22 pm
When you keep Kris Medlen in the bullpen long after it is apparent, you need starting pitching and when you have a second baseman signed for his explosive bat hitting .207 and playing everyday, you invite criticism. Last year, he failed to pull DLowe out of the starting rotation long after there was any hope of Lowe actually pitching effectively. This year he continues to prop up Tommy Hanson, long after objective analyst has said, he is not going to be effective. Last year Scott Proctor was trotted out in close games long after it was apparent he was totally ineffective.
Hard to feel sorry for Fredi, he makes his own criticism, with his decisions.
August 31st, 2012
7:23 pm
Can't happen soon enough. He is a blunderhead, and we need a real manager; not someones buddy.

Is anyone just a tad bit pleased the Braves are playing important baseball in September for the fourth consecutive year?
It's certainly appreciated from the keypad of this blogger.

Missed opportunity in the 1st – how many times have we said that in television past 13 games?
August 31st, 2012

This team has a recent history of coming up small in Sept……….09, with a chance for the WC they lost 6 in a row to end the season………10, they needed to win on the last day to back into the WC……………11, well we know how that ended!!!
Does anyone here really think anything will be different this September? They have been sputtering along as of late. Tonight is aperfect example………..we get the first 2 guys on base and then don't score (again!), then Minor throws a cookie to Howard and we're down a run. What I see is deja-vu all over again.
August 31st, 2012
8:02 pm
Braves could be swept this weekend. Phils are playing better. Their pitching is much better. The Braves are starting to whistle past the graveyard as they start showing signs of September 2011.
So now watching McCann. Seems his shoulder is bad and he is wearing glasses again. If Oral Roberts or some other healer doesn't come around and put his hand on Mac and heal him, then I let him walk. Not paying a blind man who has a bad shoulder and runs like he has a piano on his back no matter what he USED to be!
August 31st, 2012
8:04 pm
Joe Maddon is one of the best..period.
August 31st, 2012
8:07 pm
At this point, & I hate to say it – I don't think that picking up McCann's option next year is a definite. I love watching him play – & have for the last few years. But what's his option? Something like $13MM? Dude's body is breaking down – 2nd straight year he has been worthless in September. At some point the logical business aspect of baseball comes into play.
August 31st, 2012
8:08 pm
Gotta say I agree with the McCann comment. If I were FW, I wouldn't pick up that option for next year, not for that kind of money. The guy hasn't produced very well since coming off the DL last season. This is far too long for it to be "just a slump". To me, it looks more like diminishing skills. (Uggla is in that category too).
August 31st, 2012
8:08 pm
Jeff, I know this is a baseball blog but I want to reach out to you and say I will never forget that you were there for me during the tough times like the a$$ painting – even offering to take me to John's Creek when I was replaced by the late Big Bad Bruce. What I am trying to say is "thank you" and you will never want for anything when you are in Athens. I have a sound heart and kidneys and slobber only minimally. I expect to be on the job for a long while. Thanks, Brother.
August 31st, 2012
8:09 pm
Jeff, what would happen if the Braves and the second wild card team finished the season with the same record? How would it be determined which stadium they play the silly 1 game playoff in? Coin toss?

8:24 pm
So whats with the Baker aquisition?
August 31st, 2012
8:27 pm
Washington 6, STL 0. STL = no hits. Would have been nice if the Braves were hot while Washington recently lost 5 in a row. Don't think we will see that again but I hope I am wrong!
August 31st, 2012
8:28 pm
Jeff, I would be stunned also. My point is that at some point you have to look at it & see if it really makes sense despite the players popularity (not to mention the fact that we are already up against a strict budget every year now) to keep him at a career low performance level. I will always be a huge McCann fan.
My hope is that both he & Uggla get hot at the right time & lead us to glory. That's my wishful thinking at least…
August 31st, 2012
8:29 pm
Do you think this deal for Baker means the Braves are getting more reluctant to keep trotting Uggla out there?
August 31st, 2012
8:30 pm
With September 1st looming at Midnight, Braves may be looking at the possibility of letting Hinske sit this one out in lieu of a right handed bat like Baker.
August 31st, 2012
8:31 pm
McCann= Pinball Wizard!
August 31st, 2012
8:32 pm
Wow. McCann = No extra base hits the entire month.
August 31st, 2012
8:34 pm
Uggla struckout??!! WEIRD!

I don't totally blame Fredi or Wren. I don't totally blame any single Braves player.
The Braves are just a perfect storm of ineptitude.
August 31st, 2012
8:38 pm
Any chance Uggla is the player to be named later in the Baker trade?
August 31st, 2012
8:39 pm
Wonder if Chipper will be able to get out of bed tomorrow?
August 31st, 2012
8:40 pm
Jeff, what time this evening will the print master demand your attention from us adoring bloggers?
August 31st, 2012
8:40 pm
Wasnt it two outs? Wasnt that a bloop hit? Arent u running at the crack of the bat and have a nice lead at second? didnt the throw play into u being able to beat it? LOL. Braves are sad when it counts man! How couldnt Chipper score there. If he's that slow he cant be healthy and is a liability, 40 or not dude.
August 31st, 2012
8:42 pm
Can Baker suit up and replace Uggla tomorrow? And when, if ever, will Fredi go full time with the catcher who can still hit?
August 31st, 2012
8:42 pm
What a joke this team is. Twice now they have had 1st and 2nd with no outs and come up with nothing. LOSERS.
August 31st, 2012
8:43 pm
Now please explain to me again why the Braves acquired a utility infielder? Isnt Simmons coming back soon? Is Pasternicky persona non grata in Atlanta?

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the stability of behavioral and
emotional problems from adolescence into young adulthood. METHOD: Subjects
from the general population (N = 459), aged 13-16 years, were evaluated
initially with the Child Behavior Checklist (completed by parents) and 8
years later with the Young Adult Self-Report. The scoring format and factor
structure of the two assessment instruments are similar; syndromes
constructed from the two instruments are based on parents', teachers', and
self-report information derived from large clinical samples. Signs of
maladjustment also were assessed at follow- up through interviews. RESULTS:
Of the individuals with total problem scores in the deviant range on the
Child Behavior Checklist, 27.3% had total problem scores in the deviant
range on the Young Adult Self- Report at follow-up. The probability of
having a total problem score in the deviant range at follow-up was raised
7.4-fold by having deviant- range scores on the Child Behavior Checklist
somatic complaints and anxious/depressed syndromes (simultaneously) at the
initial assessment. Referral to mental health services was predicted by
deviant-range scores on the anxious/depressed syndrome, while suicide
attempts were predicted by deviance on the withdrawn syndrome. CONCLUSIONS:
Adolescent problems tended to persist into young adulthood to a moderate
degree. High rates of withdrawal from social contacts, anxiety or
depression, somatic complaints without known medical origin, social
problems, attention problems, delinquent behavior, and aggressive behavior
during adolescence were risk factors for specific types of psychopathology
and maladjustment at 8-year follow-up. The presence of psychopathology in
adolescence should not be regarded as normative.

Obama Advisor Called For Military Invasion of Israel In 2002

Today, President Obama delivered a speech at the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. Also today, the newly formed Atrocities Prevention Board began their work.
However, the lady he picked to chair the board, Samantha Power, called for the military invasion of Israel in an interview with Harry Kriesler in 2002- the Executive Director of the Institute for International studies in Berkeley.
Kriesley asked:
Let me give you a thought experiment here, and it is the following: without addressing the Palestine - Israel problem, letŌĆÖs say you were an advisor to the President of the United States, how would you respond to current events there? Would you advise him to put a structure in place to monitor that situation, at least if one party or another [starts] looking like they might be moving toward genocide?
Here is her response: (h/t Yid With Lid)

Brown Caterpillar
Seated on a wooden bench
Enjoying the view overlooking Cherry Lane
I look down and notice
The undulating crawl
Of a brown caterpillar
Inching its way towards my feet
It disappears underneath my bench
I look up in time
To catch sight of a hawk
Sailing over tree tops in the distance
The maple to my right
Has a Northern Flicker visiting
And red berried bushes
(Don't know the name)
Down below, are harvested
By Robins
And is that a Kinglet?
Damn, wish I had my binoculars!
A peaceful blue sky day
With the last of the crickets
Gently chirping
I remember the caterpillar
And look under my bench
Nope, not there
Wonder where he is
I glance to my left
And there he is
Resting on my shoulder
Will his butterfly-ness
Be realized
So he can flit away
Before the cold weather moves in?

How can I a UK citizen get leave to work in the US for a 6-8 month period?
June 27, 2009
How can I a UK citizen work in the US for a 6-8 month period?
I live in the UK but am employed by an American company. I'd like (as would my employers) to work in America next year for a period of 6-8 months.
Getting an H1B1 visa is problematic (expensive even if unsucessful, chance of success at the moment is dubious as they're limited in number and they're running out of them).
According to an immigration lawyer, I do not qualify for an L1 visa as I am directly employed by my company (they do not have a UK branch nor have corporation status in the UK) and the L1 only allows affiliate employees to be transferred.
According to the
Visa Waiver Program
, I can work for 90 days in the US.
As I'd need to return to the UK briefly anyway after two months, can I:
Go to the US for two months; return to the UK for a week; return to the US for three months; go to Canada/Mexico/UK etc for a week/fortnight; return to the US for two to three months?
- Is that likely to cause problems?
- Is there anything I could to do to increase my chances (letter from my work saying I am just working for a 90 period and they'd stay guarantee)?
- Is there any restriction on the type of work I can do? (when I have been to the US in the past with work they've quizzed me at the border asking what exactly I'd be doing, would I be in meetings etc - I've never known if there is a wrong answer)
- Is there anyone who provides ruling on this? (US Embassy?)
(As I'd be bringing my (young) family and renting out my place here, I really don't want to get turned back at the border on the second occasion...)

Unless someone else can chime in and say, "I've done this very thing and here's how I did it!" I think you ought to contact a law firm specializing in visa law. Your company should be able to help you find someone, or they (ideally) will do all the work for you.

You may have a problem doing this. Though there's no set-in-stone rules regarding how often you can use the VWP, the perceived wisdom is that you should spend as long out of the USA as you do in it. So three months in America, three months away, three months back etc.
This is just anecdotal though so I wouldn't take my word for it. I asked a lot of people and did a lot of reasearch on a lot of forums because I'm also a UK citizen and spent three months there under the VWP earlier this year (as a tourist).
Also, I wasn't aware we were allowed to work at all while under the VWP so maybe I don't know as much as I thought I did!

The page you link to says specifically that you cannot.

Have your company contact a US immigration attorney. Large/international companies usually have people on staff who deal with this or contacts with outside firms. If they want you to work here, they can afford to do what it takes to do it legally. Indeed, they are very much liable if they employ you to work illegally. You said you already talked to one who claims you aren't eligible for an L1 visa. What did he say you should do instead?

Also, check out the details of the L1 visa. It's a lot more broad than simple affiliates. According to
some sources
, you are "A US organization which employs e.g. sales personnel overseas can sponsor such employees for L1's even if there is no non-US office." This sounds like you, right? The
State Department manual
has lots more to say on the subject. Basically, you could well be considered a UK "branch" of your company. A good immigration attorney who works with US companies can figure out how to present this information in the right terms for your petition to be successful.

This is a weird situation and you haven't given us enough information to help.
-You are directly employed, not a freelancer/contractor? How does that work? If you are in the UK and your employer has no UK branch, how are they paying you? When you file your UK taxes, are you self employed? If your employment with them is structured the same as it would be if you worked for any other UK company, paid in GBP with the appropriate taxes taken out/paid to the appropriate authorities, then it seems like there might be argument to be made that you ARE the UK branch and thus possibly eligible for a L1, provided the employment history/time with employer check out. Keep in mind that this is a lengthy process as well, as your employer will have to advertise the job via a certain process, for a certain period of time (I want to say several months, don't mark my words) and be able to prove that there are no eligible domestic candidates for the job. This is usually a formality, but a time consuming one. However, if an attorney already advised you that you don't qualify, I suppose you don't qualify.
-You can not legally work in the US, in the way that you've described, under the visa waver program. As a temporary business traveler, you are not able to earn any money/income from a US company or entity while you are here. It is designed for business people going to trade shows, visiting clients, sales (the company, not sales person is making the money), servicing/installing equipment, that sort of thing. The scenario you've laid out would just simply be you working for the company like any other employee. Not going to work
-There is the training visa, though it's not supposed to be for employment purposes, and you can't earn anything besides expenses, but there might be a way to work with this? I don't know, only you know your situation. Read that category on the visa site and see if there's anyway you can make that work.
-Your idea to come in for a few months, leave, re-enter is a bad idea. It's also a widely exploited "option" and the customs agents are hip to this. My ex spent 90 days in the US setting up and training a company to use some machinery. His UK company had a subsidiary in the same state, and since we met and fell in love, blah, blah, blah, and since the US sub had been recruiting for this position for a year with no luck, he decided to take the job w an L1 Visa. The visa was going to take a while (anticipated 3 months, actually took 5 or 6 months), he figured he'd come back via the VWP, get paid through the main company in UK (or via petty cash as it turned out), leave the US once the visa came through (because it's not active till you enter the US through customs). Easy, right? Well, a month after he left, he was back on a plane to start a new life here. Clearing customs wasn't easy, and he was nearly refused entry because they were suspicious about him reentering so soon after staying the full 90 days from the last waiver. He had to show them bank records, mortgage records for his house in the UK, and many other things that he had with him (he was prepared with all of this). It wasn't till they got confirmation from his "employer" in the UK that he was, in fact, just attending a meeting at a subsidiary, and then returning to the UK, he would not have been let through. I don't know what state you'll be going to, but that state wouldn't allow him to get a drivers license till he got his visa, there were all sorts of issues, like rentals, banking issues. Once his waiver expired, he lived in fear of being stopped by the police (routine traffic stop, accident, etc.) and then deported. He lived in fear of his employees or coworkers learning his status and possibly calling the border patrol (this actually happened to my mother's coworker) out of spite. Since he didn't get a paycheck, and the company was sloppy, tasking the office manager with paying him through petty cash, each payday was a stressful event for him. Before his L1 came through, he had a horrible industrial accident, lost part of a finger, had to go to the hospital to have it stitched back on. Guess what? No insurance. No workers comp because he was not a legal employee. His company paid out of pocket, and made life hard on him. There was nobody to force them to pay him for the time he needed to recover, so they didn't.
My mother worked for a british company in the US. Most of the employees were from the UK. Several were illegal for long, complicated but reasonable reasons. They were always flying to the bahamas or canada and returning when their endless VWs expired. Often, they'd be refused entry and have to return to the UK for long periods of time, or forever. Once, a spiteful coworker ratted out a foreign boss she hated. The border patrol came to the office, asked the receptionist (my poor mother, it was her first week there and she didn't know any of the foreign workers were illegal) to see the guy and they took him out in handcuffs, sent him to the detention center for a couple weeks and deported him.
BTW, all of these stories were pre-9/11, in case that counts. So, you can see, it's not as easy as you'd think. Also, will your wife also be leaving the US and returning with you, or will she be overstaying her visa?
Answers to your specific questions about back to back waivers:
- Is that likely to cause problems?
I would expect it to cause problems, and feel very lucky if it doesn't
Is there anything I could to do to increase my chances (letter from my work saying I am just working for a 90 period and they'd stay guarantee)?
The only thing that would increase your chances would be to leave for several months and then return. A letter from your US employer will make the denial quicker, it won't help your chances of entry
- Is there any restriction on the type of work I can do? (when I have been to the US in the past with work they've quizzed me at the border asking what exactly I'd be doing, would I be in meetings etc - I've never known if there is a wrong answer)
yes, the restriction is on any employment for which you will be paid by the US company. You can attend meetings, go to trade shows, be a guest speaker, make a sales pitch for a company to pay for services performed in the UK, and that's about it. You can not be a temporary employee (different from a temporary business traveler) on a B1 or Visa Waiver. So, you are restricted from doing anything you've described in your question.
- Is there anyone who provides ruling on this? (US Embassy?)
The US embassy processes visas after they are granted, so if you were to get a L1, you'd get it from the US embassy (or fedex your passport back to someone in the UK who will take it to the embassy for you, if they still allow that). For a visa waiver, you have no reason to go to the embassy. The department that provides ruling is immigration, and at entry, Customs. If you try to return, you'll be at the mercy of the customs agent.
If it were me, and my only option was working illegally on a business visa waiver, I'd make it a 3 month thing and that's it.

I've been investigating this for years, been to immigration lawyers, and.. well, I still ain't there. I'm pretty determined so it clearly ain't easy :) No, you cannot work in the US under the VWP.
If you have a degree, it'll help a little, especially with the H-1B which, lately, I've heard isn't as difficult as you're making out. If you're well known (and much celebrated) in your industry, you have a chance with a O-1 visa. If you own a company here and can set up a US branch, you have a chance with the L visas. If you have over $100,000 and some ingenuity, the E-2 visa will help (and I have known people who have successfully moved to the US this way, but it did require having that cash ready to roll).

Is E2 the same as the million dollar investor entry?
posted by
on June 28, 2009
Wackbrit - the E2 typically requires way more than 100k, and varies based on business and area. I have never heard of anyone investing less than 500k, and I used to work with businesses started by british expats through the E2 on a daily basis. It's also not that simple. In addition to the investment amount, the business has to positively impact the economy, like hiring x amount of local US citizens at a livable wage (or more). Also, it can't be your first business, you have to demonstrate that you have run businesses successfully in the past and/or are qualified to do so. Basically, the same qualifications a bank would look for granting a business loan to someone.
Have you ever entered the diversity visa lottery? Some years UK citizens are eligible, some years they're not.

necessitas: A story of
some Brits taking approx $200k to start up a company in Silicon Valley.
One of my best friends also did something similar in the $100-200k range when his UK company was acquired.
Is E2 the same as the million dollar investor entry?
No. That's the EB-5. It has some issues, though - in the sense that a green card is not guaranteed with that route even if you've already spent the money. It depends how the investment works out.

Wackybrit, I didn't see the part of the story that included any information about their investment. I do believe that acceptance into y-combinator had a lot to do with them getting the E2. Anyway, even if it was approx 200k, that's still falls into the "way more than 100k" category. As I said, I have never heard of heard of an investment of less than $500k, doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just means I didn't see it.
I have seen a lot of british E2 cases, as well british national examples of almost every other US visa situation. I worked for
UK Trade & Investment
for many years, part of my job was helping british exporters, part involved helping british companies establish operations in my territory and part involved working with british companies who had operations in my territory (a region that had, at the time, almost as many british businesses as american businesses). Many of the business people I worked with were in the process of securing an E2 or originally came to the US on an E2.

Wackybrit, I wasn't turning in to a contest, I was merely explaining the context in which I encountered E2 visa holders and seekers. What included as context for my experience is no more of a statement of qualification than your mention of having friends who did something similar.
