|Part of the Avatar: Energy Saga continuity.
|"As long as we keep the right goals in mind, we can justify any number of harsh actions in the name of the greater good."
|— Fong describing his philosophy.
Fong is a character in Avatar: Energy Saga. He is also canon. Fong is a member of the Council of Five and thus one of the highest-ranking military men of the Earth Kingdom. During the war against the Fire Nation he attempted to put Avatar Aang into the Avatar State so that he could lead an invasion and kill the Fire Lord when his power was at its strongest. Following the war, Fong was promoted to the Council of Five for his distinctive service record. He was one of the more moderate members of the council, and butted heads with Tyro on many occasions.
Hundred Year War
General Fong eventually became the commanding officer of a small fortress located in the Southwestern Earth Kingdom. After Aang learned waterbending at the North Pole, he stopped at this fortress on his way to learn earthbending from King Bumi. At this point, Fong persuaded Aang to attempt to trigger the Avatar State to defeat the Fire Lord as an alternative to learning the elements one at a time. As time went by, Aang had second thoughts about the plan. But Fong would not back out of what he saw as the right opportunity so easily. He ordered his soldiers to attack Aang in order to force him into the Avatar State. After he pretended to kill Katara in front of him, Aang went into the Avatar State and laid waste to Fong's soldiers and his base. At this point, Aang and his friends left Fong's base in disgust.
Later in the war, Fong's base was the planned starting point of the Invasion of the Fire Nation on the Day of Black Sun. This plan did not come to pass.
Despite his incident with Aang, Fong remained a respected member of the Earth Kingdom Army and was promoted to the Council of Five shortly after one of the older generals retired and a vacancy was available. He was one of the more moderate members of the council. He supported assisting the Fire Nation and Fire Lord Zuko when the time came. However, some of his methods were controversial – as he was a firm believer that the ends justified the means.

Who do you support for Governor in Wisconsin in 2010?

By the way, as long as the name was brought up, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is one of the biggest media mongers out there! He has cost his county taxpayers oodles of money during his reign due to lawsuits for ridiculous policies and practices he has put in place. He spends a lot more time concerned by his tv/media career then what he was elected to do. Many people out there who don't know anything about how a sheriffs office or law enforcement agency is run have been led to believe that he is some kind of hero. Trust me, among many law enforcement agencies and officials, he's a joke.

#6158 Dec 16, 2012
One thing that is stressfull too,that is a fool that is shooting at you and killing little children around you. But I would'nt want anyone to have a weapon to defend them self or the chidren.....oh no,,,,,cuz they don't have the proper training to deal with the stress. Getting gunned down with no means of defence,,,,thats lots better! Don't need no training to get gunned down. By the way, is'nt it you that is always writing about how intelligent and capable our teachers are? You think there are no teachers that have been in the military? Go back into your fog.
#6159 Dec 16, 2012
Your comments right now after a sickening event like what happened aren't that funny. What you don't understand is so vast that no one would know where to begin.
#6160 Dec 16, 2012
Ok, now I have a little time to respond. I think you missed the point who tee. I didn't say that SOME teachers haven't been in the military, that's not the point. Certainly there is the old saying about don't bring a knife to a gun fight, there are truths to that. When we talk about the general group of citizens, teachers, or what have you, that is not what they do or where they come from. There's more to it then black & white and there's more to being prepared for it then what tv portrays. There may be numerous persons working in a cafeteria or as a teacher that have military experience or the like, but that does not account for the whole group.

<< Terminator 2: Judgment Day >>
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a third-person platform/action game for Game Boy. It was developed by B.I.T.S. and published by LJN Toys.
The game is a side-scroller. The player moves from left to right, shooting enemies and jumping over obstacles in the platforming stages. There are also time-limited mini-games, such as re-arranging wires to form a connected path, as well as other types of stages. The stages are based on key scenes from the film.
Early on, the player controls John Connor, fighting his way to Skynet Central. In the first level requires John to destroy a series of power generators in order from tallest to shortest (fourth, then first, then fifth, and then second and finally third) in order to disable the electrical field surrounding the complex.
Afterwards, he must fight his way to the assembly area and reprogram a T-800 to send back to the past.

Formerly, Gupta ran credit correlation trading in Europe and Klammers traded exotic interest rate products in Asia. This is part of a reorganisation of Goldman's trading business into a cross-asset focus.
Meanwhile, the former head of interest rate exotics trading, Driss Ben-Brahim, has been appointed global head of macro proprietary trading, reporting into global currency trading.

By Arienne Thompson, USA TODAY
Michelle Obama knows how to impress her friends. The emerald, tea-length dress she wore Wednesday night to present the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize to Stevie Wonder was designed by the singer's wife, Kai Milla.
But that close connection isn't what has people talking about the silk-chiffon number. Apparently, Obama's decision to go sleeveless again is stirring up a debate. The tribute to Wonder was the second time in as many days that the first lady bared her arms: She wore a plum Narciso Rodriguez dress when her husband addressed Congress on Tuesday night. She appears on the latest issue of People magazine in a sleeveless magenta Tracy Reese frock and also went sans sleeves on her recent Vogue cover. But should people be up in arms about Obama baring hers?
LIFELINE LIVE: White House releases Michelle Obama portrait
"While her sleeveless dress trend is definitely a talking point, she's always very conservative in other ways. The dresses are often cut below the knee, and it's not a deep, plunging neckline," says Glamour.com's senior fashion editor, Susan Cernek. "She's balancing out the expanse of skin on her arms by not showing too much elsewhere. That's what makes her look very appropriate."
About 2,600 USA TODAY readers weighed in:
Is it appropriate for Michelle Obama to go sleeveless so often?
40%: Yes, she's a modern first lady.
11%: No, it seems too informal.
49%: Who cares? It's her decision.

It was called Sea Change and hosted music, art and literature in a series of buildings and venues in Totnes. Here is what we saw, from inside a 15th century church to a bunker on an industrial estate. They are going to do it all over again next year, so see you there.

Magazines this week: The Festival of Katie continues/drags on
As the weekly magazines try to squeeze the last drops of sweet nectar from the TomKat divorce, judging the The Mag I Bought This Week Award gets tricky. Dare I say it, but I'm slightly fatigued by the drama. I think I'm reaching a point where I just want to see photos of Katie picking Suri up from Catholic pre-school, Katie canoodling with some new bloke by candlelight, Suri going on playdates with Gwen Stefani's kids … you know, all the glorious stuff that will make Tom want to pop a gasket.
But raking over the dying embers of the divorce has lost some of its magic.
If other readers are feeling the same way, it's bad news for publishers and newsagents. My mate Steve The Newsagent has been loving magazines rivalling lottery tickets again as an income stream: "Sold out of both Woman's Day and New Idea, and Who has only a couple of copies left, so bring on more high profile divorces I say. Even though my care factor is zero."
Steve's more of an Auto Action man. You know where you stand with a car. You don't have to worry about them joining religious cults and marrying Kardashians.
Me, I still like scratching my Hollywood itch with a celebrity magazine, which is why I was initially drawn to the OK cover. It features Blake Lively in a grannie swimming costume with a hint of belly. The coverline is that old chestnut: "We love our new bodies". Which is magland's nice way of saying "Hah! Celebs are getting porky, but if we pretend they're saying it, we won't look mean". Blake fascinates me because she doesn't normally wear such daggy swimwear and rub her belly a lot. The gossips are suggesting she's hinting at pregnancy. Blake is big on using the paparazzi to get her message across. She played them like violins when she was dating Leonardo di Caprio. But Blake has been doing lots of grocery shopping and home cooking with her new paramour, Ryan Reynolds, so maybe she's simply curvy and content. Nah, this is Hollywood, what am I talking about? No-one's content.
I was seriously considering buying OK to examine Blake's body language, but I couldn't face seeing that Kardashian woman's new baby, which also figured on the cover.
Moving along …
WHO magazine looks fabulous. But I already know "The real reason Tom gave up Suri": to save his career and Scientology. I was kinda tempted by Alec Baldwin's wedding, because his daughter Ireland looks amazing these days and I wanted to examine her body language around the man who once left her a voicemail message calling her a "rude, thoughtless little pig.". But I didn't think that would be part of the official coverage.
NW has gone the "It's far from over" angle for Katie, which is wishful thinking as, knowing Tom, there are some pretty heavy legal agreements in place now. Just ask Nicole Kidman. When the papers are signed, it's pretty much all over red rover and keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you. NW also has some scary skinny photos of Sharni, urging her to "Get help now". I agree, Sharni needs help – and a glucose drip – fast. Who is Sharni?
Famous is still banging on about the other man in Katie's life. Please stop.
New Idea has Katie fearing for her life over the "Scientology Murder Scandal", which I suspect refers to the head of Scientology's missing wife. I know the Scientologists must be pretty mad at Katie right now, but surely they're smart enough to know killing her wouldn't improve their public image? And I'm not sure Nicole has told New Idea "what Tom did to me", though I'm dying to know what really went down, so if she ever does speak out, please let me know.
Off the celebrity beat, I'm irresistibly drawn to Feast magazine every month. It has these mouth-watering covers on that lovely matt-style paper stock. I just want to stroke it. I may even buy the latest issue later in the week, with its gorgeous seafood paella on the cover. But somehow I know the recipes will be more about goat biriyanis than family friendly meals, so I'm not sure it's the wisest thing to spend my dwindling cash on. I might use the money to buy some chicken thighs and make a risotto instead.
So, where does that leave me in the Award judging process? That's right, Woman's Day. Woman's Day reckons it has Katie's "explosive divorce diaries" and a "Shock report: Katie's life was hell". And even though I suspect there won't be any actual diary entries or new hell details, I desperately want there to be. I'm also a sucker for an "I gave birth in a coma" story, and a "Free! 16-page Rick Stein cookbook" gets me excited too. That bloke does an awesome fish pie.
So congratulations Woman's Day, you've reeled me in. You win The Mag I Bought This Week Award.
How about you? Over the TomKat drama yet?


text: BAPCO: Emergency services need to gear up for ESN transition, says Home Office15 Dec 2015 03:41 PM Delegates at the British APCO Autumn Event got some insight from Richard Hewlett, Deputy Programme Director, Home Office on how then must prepare for migration to the new Emergency Services Network, along with updates on 'Total Conversation', ESCWG and post-JESIP activitiesThis year's British APCO Autumn Event in Newcastle (4-5 November 2015) was notable for a first public appearance by anyone from the Home Office's Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP), which is running the procurement of the new £1 billion Emergency Services Network.Making the opening address in Newcastle on 4 November 2015, Richard Hewlett, Deputy Programme Director, Home Office, admitted that as the Government had opted to split ESN into multiple contracts, or 'disaggregated procurement' as he called it, that 'we need to convince users and suppliers that we can pull all this together'.Besides the three main contracts covering project management, user services and mobile services (main area network), contracts also have to be let for related projects such as: Extended Area Services (geographic areas the Lot 3 main area network will not cover): air to ground – network and airborne devices; handheld & vehicle devices; control room upgrades; and vehicle installations.Some 300,000 users will need new radio devices, 45,000 vehicles have to be fitted out, as do 115 aircraft and 230 control rooms need to be upgraded to interface with ESN. On top of that there are multiple contracts which have to be handled by individual fire, police and ambulance forces for training, vehicle fit out and so on.At the time Hewlett was circumscribed in what he could say as Lot 2 and Lot 3 had not been officially awarded, although as Motorola Solutions and EE were the only bidders for the two lots respectively, it was hardly a secret. The contracts were confirmed on 10 December. The award of the Lot 1 Delivery Partner to KBR had already been announced.Hewlett explained that the mobilisation period is scheduled to take 21 months. In which time the network has to be designed, built, tested and assured. There is then a 30 months transition period to convert users to ESN. This will be completed in 12 regional transition groups broadly based on the ambulance trust areas, starting in the North West and working around the country.In terms of providing service assurance, Hewlett said: 'It is paramount we build up confidence in ESN. We have a dedicated Service Delivery Assurance Team, which will provide demonstrations, and ratchet up the confidence levels of user organisations, so they are confident and happy to go into operation with it.'An Apps Services team will set up a central reference system to ensure performance parameters are adhered to and to ensure one app doesn't mess up another.The new network will be subject to large stress tests with trials at the Notting Hill Carnival and New Year's Eve. 'It won't go live if it doesn't have the confidence of users and have the functionality we have contracted for,' Hewlett assured delegates at the event.The Lot 2 provider (Motorola Solutions) will approve user devices and accessories. Individual emergency services will procure user devices through either a local or via a framework of approved suppliers managed by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS).Hewlett said that control room upgrades will need to be properly co-ordinated to access ESN functionality. 'The aim is to upgrade control rooms before the commencement of transition for interoperability.'He added that there is a key message end users need to hear about this. 'ESN will not do this for you; you need to do it yourself, but we will ensure you are on track and doing the right things.'As regards the Extended Area Services contract, the Government will pay for the building of passive infrastructure in remote and rural areas such as central Wales, the Pennines, parts of Yorkshire, the Lake District and West Scotland.'We will acquire and design and build sites in these areas, of which there are about 40. The Lot 3 provider (EE) will provide the base stations with eNodeBs, etc and slot them in to the sites.'ESMCP has still not come up with a viable solution for providing 4G LTE coverage in the London Underground. Hewlett said a number of options are being looked at including the use of dual mode LTE and TETRA devices; interconnections via the Integrated Command and Control System (ICCS) system in command and control rooms; and enhancing the existing WiFi infrastructure.In terms of service transition between the Airwave TETRA services and the new 4G ESN service, Hewlett admitted that some Airwave contracts will expire before the expected mid-2017 start date for ESN.'An important message here,' said Hewlett, 'is that there is a gap between some current contract end dates, particularly in the police, and when the new service will be ready. Our intention all along was to extend those contracts where necessary. We will hold conversations with Airwave once contracts have been let and everything is bedded in.'He warned that preparation for transition planning in the early regions must start soon especially in the North West. 'Most users will project manage transition themselves guided by ESMCP. They will need technology and engineering resource and they will get money to address that. But we will not write the project plan for you: you will get a template plan and the Lot 1 provider will be there to advise and help.'Each emergency service organisation will need to nominate a transition manager to lead a transition team. 'You need to do your own business plan for devices and so on to justify drawing down of funds and to get budgetary approval.'Organisations will need to consider national user profiles, privileges and access rights (fleet mapping) and plan for hardware delivery and training (as well as training the trainers). Vehicle radio installation needs to be carefully planned with schedules for vehicle delivery/pickup; getting staff in for training and so on.Answering questions from the audience, Hewlett reiterated that 'we will provide the coverage you have now' and that 'we will be coming round with coverage maps after we have signed contracts'.In terms of financial support for the process Hewlett said: 'The Government is doing major financial assessment at moment. We need to see what the police funding allocation is going to be, but our intention is information on this will be there in the new financial year.'He also confirmed that ESN will be able to provide prioritisation and pre-emption. He said: 'The mobile network operators guaranteed this. They can kick people off, which I suspect won't happen.'Standardising 'Total Conversation' applications ETSI's Gunnar Hellstrom, who comes from Omnitor, gave an address on its work developing a standard for 'total conversation' (TC) whereby video, real-time texting and audio can be added into the functionality of smart mobile devices. 'This came out of work for deaf, blind and speech impaired people,' he explained.With real-time texting the text flows as it is typed so it appears on the receiving person's screen as the other person types. ETSI is working to ensure the communication protocols are harmonised and interoperable.'A common subset of TC is real-time text and audio, which is useful for the hard of hearing or just noisy environments. It is a good alternative when video is not needed or not feasible or you need to be quiet,' said Hellstrom. He pointed out that texting also means PSAPs can get much more accurate addresses and location information than is sometime possible purely verbally.Relay Service Provision is another aspect of ETSI's work on TC. This may be needed when a PSAP does not support a user's preferred language/modality. By using number analysis and routing logic the user can connect to a 112-call centre and a relay service to enable a three-party connection simultaneously. Alternatively, the PSAP may add the relay service once the session is established.Another version of this involves adding sign language, where a video call is set up with a PSAP controller and a sign language interpreter. For example, if a deaf person finds a body they can set up a video call on a mobile phone to a sign language interpreter and type in their address or location. Then the interpreter can either sign and type instructions from the PSAP controller, such as: please stay there until the ambulance arrives.Hallstrom said that the EU requirement for all this is 'challenging', as a particular EU universal service directive states that member states need to ensure that access for disabled end-users to emergency services is equivalent to that enjoyed by everyone else.The goal is therefore to enable fulfilment of the directive to provide emergency services for all, anywhere in Europe for texting, signing and talking users.ETSI has published guidelines (TR 103 201) on implementation and usage of TC for emergency services and is looking to increase awareness about its usefulness of and what the requirements for TC are.The main issue is to enable the inclusion of relay services within an emergency call when needed. ETSI is due to finish its work by March 2016 and a draft is out for comment now.Update: Emergency Services Collaboration Working Group Jonathan Smith, CFOA Operations Directorate – Policy Support Officer at Hertfordshire Fire & Rescue Service provided an update on the Emergency Services Collaboration Working Group (ESCWG).ESCWG is dedicating to capturing and disseminating best practice for collaboration between the emergency services during an incident and doing what is right for the end user – i.e. the public.Central Government has taken an interest in what the ESCWG could offer and initially it got money out of Home Office, DCLG and DoH with all three putting in an equal amount of money – something of a first, Smith observed wryly. Its future is, however, dependent on the Spending Review at the end of November 2015.Its original terms of reference included the need to establish a central repository of good practice in ES collaboration and get a national overview of the UK as a whole, as things have been done very locally up to this point.It was also commissioned to research what is meant by collaboration and what does good and bad collaboration look like - the point being not to reinvent the wheel when a new local collaboration project starts.An 80-page research paper into ES collaboration based on six projects in England and Wales was written by John Parry, Professor Eddie Kane, Dr Denise Martin and Dr Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay and as published on 27 March 2015.It graded recommendations as to how easy aspects of collaborative working are to implement and covered: co-location of control rooms; creation of single back office; better data sharing; capital resource rationalisation; shared command structures; and a number of others.Smith added that above all, successful collaboration between ESs is all about relationships. 'If there isn't trust between services it won't happen,' he emphasised.He pointed to a number of good collaborations including: NW Ambulance and Greater Manchester Police; and Northamptonshire fire and police trying to create a single organisation.In Greater Manchester, fire and police set up a community risk intervention team (CRIT) to address the fact that 75% of tasks placed on the police are in fact non-crime related, so if someone else can address these tasks that saves police time. However, Smith noted: 'By not having fully badged up police or paramedics attending these tasks, it is saving the broader public purse a lot of money – although NOT the police or fire – in fact it costs them do this.'Looking ahead, Smith said: 'We need to get some clarity on where ESCWG goes next, as there is no structure behind it to take it forward; it is a talking group really and it cannot dictate or mandate, but it can highlight best practice and mistakes.'We also need to secure an outline agreement between stakeholders on the Multi-Agency Incident Transfer (MAIT) system, which needs a strategic owner. We are not sure where it should sit yet though. But it's all about data transfer and communication, so maybe it should sit within ESN,' suggested Smith.Explaining why collaboration between ESs is so important,' Smith said: 'Look at the challenge we face. We can't really predict what will happen in 10, 15, 20 years time, so we need effective collaboration. Take climate change and wide area flooding and the threat to national infrastructure when it happens. No one agency can handle this; there must be collaborative response involving others like the Environment Agency.'The changing demographics of the UK is another major issue the ESs are facing with the proportion of 85-year olds and over increasing hugely in the years ahead with major implications for additional strain on stretched ES resources.'We must collaborate to meet this challenge,' said Smith, 'but budgets are decreasing, so we need innovative solutions and to develop relationships with the public.'Finally, he noted that the Cities & Local Government Devolution Bill may have a considerable impact on the ESs. Governance of Fire & Rescue Services may be put under PCCs and some have got hot under the collar about this.Smith said: 'Personally, I think this Bill is out of date because of devolution. There is no police and crime commissioner in Manchester because the local mayor will have this role and if this is a success it may be rolled out across the country. That said; I think we are unlikely to see fire, police and paramedics rolled into one.'Update: Joint Emergency Services Interoperability ProgrammeJoy Flanagan, Communications & Engagement Manager at JESIP (Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme), gave an update on the post-programme progress following its official ending. The two-year programme ran from September 2012 to September 2014 with the aim of improving the way ESs work together during major incidents.A small central team has remained post-programme to help embed the JESIPprinciples. It sought to address the known issues such as lack of communications, lack of common processes and cultures and the fact that there was no cross sector arrangements existing to address the issues.Dr Kevin Pollock analysed 32 major incidents and identified recurring failures, poor working practices and organisational planning, inadequate training and a failure to learn lessons among other problems.A key aim was to ensure that blue light service are trained and exercised together with an initial focus on the actions of commanders in the Golden Hour, although there were a lot of areas to address as well, but the operational focus was the start.A Joint Doctrine was established setting out the basics:• Co-locate• Communicate• Co-ordinate• Jointly understand the risks: each ES has different risks and they must understand these and not impact on other ESs and get in the way• Shared situational awareness: information flow up and down chain of command.The METHANE procedure was established:M – major incident declaredE – exact locationT - type of incidentH - hazards present or suspectedA – access routes that are safe to useN – number type severity of casualtiesE – ES presence and those required.Looking at the challenges post-programme, Flanagan said the main task is to ensure that the interoperability capability built by the programme is successfully embedded, maintained and developed until it becomes business as usual.How well is JESIP embedded? Flanagan said: 'We did quite well in two years but there is a lot more to do. We need to continue to develop a tri-service approach to assurance and look at how consistency and momentum is maintained against competing priorities. More joint service learning is required too.Outlining what JESIP needs to do, Flanagan identified the following tasks:• Develop a 3-5 year plan to allow time to complete tasks: this has been done• Doctrine: sets policy and what to do• Training, testing and exercising: develop the tools to educate staff and check learning• Joint organisational learning: learn lessons and joint working and change the way we do things if we need to• Proving information for those involved• Provide assurance back up the chain that this is making a difference.'The challenge is to enable local services to do what is right for them locally, but also to meet national resilience, consistency, standard approach and specialist resources,' said Flanagan.She said that there is a need to look at devolved administrations and cross border working and to bring in a wider range of Category 1 and 2 responders. 'We hope to get more of these involved in co-training sessions.'A Doctrine review is out next year, while the training product updates are awaiting publication. A new website has been built hosting toolkits, products, frameworks, news, etc. Among the new things coming is an ESN Communications Advisor Course.Day 2, which Wireless was not able to attend, contained presentations on MAIT, Next Gen 999 and a session on mission critical voice from Intelcomm.Prompted by an ESMCP request, the British APCO event also gave device and solutions vendors a chance to give private presentations to end users as to the merits of their products for ESN.Among those showcasing their wares were: Callmy, Sonic Communications, Abiom, Motorola Solutions, Sepura, Sat-Comm Broadcast, Getac, DMOnetworks, Selex ES, TETRATAB, Globalstar, Terrafix, In-CAR PC, Bittium, Panasonic Computer Product Solutions, ARL Mobile, Noggin IT, Axess International, Xplore and Nice Systems.James Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a Comment

In this entry of "Eitan the Intern", I interviewed sports agent Michael Bonanno of Oak Sports Management. Only 23 years old, Michael was recently featured as the cover story in Biz Magazine. I was able to catch up with Michael over email to ask him some questions about his profession.
Here is my Q&A interview with Michael:
What influenced you to become a sports agent?
MB: Business and personal relationships. I played professional baseball and always enjoyed the business side of it. I enjoy being around the game and enjoy seeing a client succeed and do well.
How were you able to become a sports agent?
MB: I was a law major while at Brevard College (FL), and when my playing career finished, through a mutual contact, I met the President of our company (Don Webster). We discussed starting the agency and why I believed it could be successful. Being a co-founder of a company with one of the top contract negotiators in the world is humbling. I try to learn as much from him as possible.
How do you decide when to sign a client?
MB: It varies, some perspective clients are referrals through current clients, while we approach others or they contact us. When we sign a client we want them to be as comfortable as possible about the decision. Ultimately if the agency wants the player, it is always his decision about what agency to join.
How often do you have to touch base with your clients? Do you tend to follow your clients on a day by day basis or do you tend to follow your clients weekly?
MB: Each client is different, I would say on average it is every 3-5 days though. Some prefer speaking daily, while others are biweekly or monthly. I leave it completely up to the player to dictate; they know I follow them daily and my phone is there day or night if they would like to talk.
What are the players looking for when they sign with you and Oak Sports Management?
MB: You are getting one of the top contract negotiators in North America, and an agency that prides ourselves on the integrity of our athletes and the game of baseball. We are committed to meeting the individual needs of our players, during and after their professional playing careers.
Does the prominence of agents such as Scott Boras or David Falk hamper the ability of smaller sports agencies to sign clients?
MB: It could, but I have found no affects of that. I respect those two individuals but am excited, in only one year, what we are accomplishing at Oak Sports. I believe what we offer as a company can compete with anybody.
How does becoming an agent for baseball players vary than becoming an agent for athletes in other sports?
MB: Each sport has different requirements to become a certified agent. Certain sports are a little bit more extensive then others. There will be a hockey division of Oak Sports Management, but I am strictly a baseball agent.
What do you consider the most gratifying and stressful aspects of your profession?
MB: As good as seeing a client hit a double, steal a base or strike a batter out is, the most gratifying for me is the personal and business side of baseball. Being able to negotiate a contract, get an endorsement deal or having them call me for advice is gratifying. In all honesty, I don't stress much doing this job. It is very time consuming and isn't easy but that's what drives me and challenges me to become one of the best in this industry.
How do you maintain a contract for your client if he is either not performing well or not getting enough playing time so to speak?
MB: That is out of the agents hands and in complete control of the organization he is with. When speaking with the team you will know how they feel about him and if they're in the team's future plans. If a client is not getting playing time however and we believe he should be, we will contact the organization to get more information but it is a case by case basis.
What is the biggest challenge for a young player in the minors?
MB: The biggest challenge would be the competition and mental aspect of baseball. It's not an easy job being a minor league baseball player, it is a full out grind. Between the hours you put in, travel, competition, struggle and personal life, you need to be strong mentally.
Thank you to Michael for allowing the time to do an interview with him given his very busy schedule. I am sure in a few years we will hear of him and his clients quite often.
That's all for today's post. Have a great July 4th weekend.

Weekly Overview
After enduring their worst day of the season with a doubleheader loss to the last-place Marlins last Saturday, the Gulf Coast League Cardinals started this week no better. In a rain-shortened 12-2 loss to the Nationals on Monday, the Cardinals committed four errors that led to five unearned runs, while their offense managed only two runs on six hits. Cardinals manager Steve Turco kept calm, though, and told his first-place team to relax and play the way they are capable. In winning four of their next five, the Cardinals outscored their opponents 22 to 10 and outhit them 48 to 23.
With his best outing to date, starting pitcher Ronnie Williams set a fresh tone Tuesday with four scoreless innings, allowing two singles and a walk, in a 4-0 whitewashing of the Nationals. Four pitchers combined to no-hit the Nationals on Wednesday, though it was not a shutout.
With 17 games remaining, the Cardinals (28-15) lead the Mets by 5-1/2 games and the Nationals by 6.
The Cardinals offense is first in the 16-team GCL in batting average (.283), on-base percentage (.370), OPS (.771) and triples. They are third in doubles and walks, while having the lowest strikeout total.
The pitching staff is first in shutouts (6), third in WHIP (1.20) and fifth in ERA (3.29). After allowing 15 walks during the week, their walks-per-9 innings rose to 2.09, but it still is the lowest in all of affiliated professional baseball because the next-best team last week, the Princeton Rays in the Appalachian League, went up from 2.09 to 2.18.
Transactions & Injuries
Jordan DeLorenzo, the Cardinals' 12th-round pick in June out of the University of West Florida, was sent down from Johnson City, where he had struggled in his last few outings. DeLorenzo gives Turco a second left-hander on the pitching staff. With the recent promotions of Luke Weaver, Andrew Morales and Julio Mateo and the temporary shelving of Jorge Rodriguez due to injury, the GCL Cards pitching staff was a bit short-handed. Rodriguez, however, is expected to return to active duty this week.
Highlights of the Week
After badly losing three straight, the Cardinals nursed a 1-0 lead into the ninth on Tuesday when Joshua Lopez broke the game open with a three-run home run that ended an 0-for-16 slide. … In Wednesday's no-hitter, Magneuris Sierra had four hits, drove in three runs, scored twice on wild pitches and stole two bases. The Cardinals led by only 2-1 until long doubles by Frankie Rodriguez, both off the left-field fence, keyed two-run rallies in the seventh and eighth innings. … After Mets lefty starter Adrian Almeida had blanked the Cardinals for five innings on Friday, David Washington, on a rehab assignment from A-Advanced Palm Beach, was glad to see right-handed reliever Flabio Ortega when he led off the sixth. Ortega's first pitch, a fastball, came in at 90 mph, but Washington sent it out over the right-field fence at 105 mph for a game-tying home run. The Cardinals won the game in the ninth on an RBI single by Sierra, who had been 0-for-4 before squirting a one-out single just past third base. … Making his second start of the season, soft-tossing lefty Dylan Hawkins held the Mets to two hits and no walks in four shutout innings. Malik Collymore led the offense with three hits, including a two-run triple.
Who's Hot & Not
Magneuris Sierra went 10-for-26 (.384), but that lowered his league-leading average to .389. A left-handed hitter, Sierra is batting .421 vs. lefties. … Malik Collymore was 9-for-20, pushing his average to .354. Collymore leads the GCL in OPS (.976, just ahead of Sierra's .975), is second in batting average and third in RBI (30). … In two appearances totaling 5-1/3 innings, reliever Jery Then allowed no hits and one walk while fanning six. Then's fastball touched 97 mph. … Steven De La Cruz, who was charged with 10 earned runs in his first 10 innings over seven appearances, allowed only one hit and one walk in four scoreless innings. ,,, Jake Gronsky struggled, going 1-for-14, but struck out only twice.
A Closer Look At
These capsules of three college pitchers signed as non-drafted free agents are based on interviews with GCL Cardinals manager Steve Turco:
Steven De La Cruz: A 21-year-old native of the Bronx, New York, De La Cruz was signed out of the New Mexico Military Institute Junior College, where he played outfield and hit .335. The Cardinals, however, are converting the 6-foot-1, 185-pound right-hander into a pitcher. "He's a good athlete with a good arm," Turco said of De La Cruz, who sports a fastball that sits at 92-93 mph and touches 95. "His slider helps his fastball." De La Cruz is also working to develop a changeup, but in his current middle relief role he doesn't use it much.
Kevin Alexander: The 23-year-old spent five seasons at Florida Atlantic University because he sat out the 2011 season with an injury, but rebounded to be a staff stalwart and serve as team captain and closer his final year. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound right-hander is from Coral Springs, Florida. "Alexander started out a little rough, but got better quickly and has done a very nice job for us," Turco said. Throwing from a low three-quarters slot, Alexander has a fastball in the upper 80s, but with "sink and tail," Turco said. He uses a slurve as his offspeed pitch against right-handed batters and a changeup against lefties. In 16-2/3 innings so far, Alexander has given up 19 hits, but only two walks.
Andrew Reidt: The 22-year-old is a native of Grey Summit, Missouri, about 40 miles west of St. Louis. Reidt (pronounced right) had completed his senior year at Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, after attending St. Louis Community College before signing with the Cardinals. The 6-foot-6, 218-pound right-hander "has been a pleasant surprise," Turco said. "He doesn't throw very hard, but he's got some deception and movement to his pitches. He needs to keep the ball down." Throwing from an almost sidearm slot, Reidt's fastball tops out around 88 mph so far, but he has a decent slurve and changeup. "He's quick to the plate and moves off the mound fairly well for a guy his size," Turco said.

Be aware that as of 8/2016 Maize qTeller now uses a new set of alignments and FPKM values from maize refgen 3.1. These values are likely to be different results downloaded prior to 8/2016. The old maize data is avaliable at http://qteller.com/maize2/
For questions or concerns please contact Daniel W. C. Ngu of the Schnable lab.
The qTeller web interface, as well as the RNA-seq analysis (as opposed to the raw data itself) and syntenic gene sets avaliable through this website were created by James Schnable. So he's the person you should bother with questions, concerns, suggestions, and bug reports.
Addie Thompson in the Muehlbauer lab at the University of Minnesota was instrumental in the creation of qTeller, providing the perspective of an actual practicing geneticist cloning real QTLs.
The raw data used to measure gene expression in qTeller is a result of the hard work (and hard won funding) of a whole bunch of people throughout the maize community. The source of every dataset qTeller is built upon is identified here, and they all deserve countless thanks.
qTeller is currently hosted in the Freeling Lab at UC-Berkeley.


text: Gibbs is facing further action because he was already under a suspended sentence of just five days more at the time of the offence. Gibbs, together with former teammate Henry Williams, was also suspended from international cricket for six months until January this year because of their involvement in match-fixing plans hatched by their former hero and captain, Hansie Cronje. Cronje has since been banned for life, but is contesting the ban in the high court. While some critics, including former South African captain Kepler Wessels, have called for serious action against Gibbs for his repeated offences, the most serious punishment he can expect if found guilty is a three-match ban. Meanwhile, Gibbs is one of 19 players who have been offered renewal contracts by the UCBSA.

If we decided to apply the marble dining room tables, then we have chosen the perfect material. Marble has been used as flooring and various other building applications since time immemorial and are very popular today. Marble is considered as one of the perfect material for any kind of table where we can enhance the appearance of a marble table by applying on it. Elegant impression will be directly attached to the dining room where we put a marble dining table. Marble table will surely give tremendous appeal in the dining room as a whole and to provide extra value. In addition, the durability of marble table unreliable – very durable when cared for properly.
In order to make a marble table is maintained in good condition and lasting up to a dozen years into the future, we have to do sealing first if we get to the type of porous marble. Sealing that we do will keep the preserved table from scratches and staining. In addition, we also have to clean the marble table once a year. When used and we found a table in a dirty condition, then we must immediately clean it. Do not forget also to give coasters before putting drinks on the table to prevent the ring and also applies when serving food – always use a coaster. It is important we do in order to prevent food entering the table and make the table easier to clean.
So, when we decided to get a marble dining room tables, know first what are the things we have to considers. And do not forget to specify the amount of the budget that we allocate to buy marble table because the price offered is not cheap. Always adjust with the ability to not be a burden in the future.

Where We Start is the fifteenth studio album by Progressive rock band Pink Floyd. Released on 21 September 1999, it was the band's first record since The Division Bell (1994), marking it the second longest gap between studio albums of Pink Floyd's career at the time. The band originally intended to release the songs as a EP, but later combined the material in early 1999.
Pink Floyd began work on the album in 1997 with the recently returned Roger Waters, but shelved most of the material from those sessions. From January 1998 to July 1999, the band collaborated with former band member Syd Barret, who produced and co-wrote many of the new songs. Writing and recording took place at Abby Road Studios. Also in the United States, Ireland and France. The group intended to release Where We Start in November 1998, after composing 20 to 30 songs, they postponed the release because they wanted to continue writing.
Prior to release, Pink Floyd indicated that Barrett's involvement, as well as the band's time in Los Angelas, had resulted in a more experimental record than their previous two albums, the band compared the shift in style to that seen between The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) and The Wall (1979). Upon its release, Where We Start received generally favourable reviews, although many critics noted that it was not as experimental as previously suggested. The album was not as commercially successful as anticipated, and the band expressed enjoyment over the relatively high sales of twelve million copies when compared to the other recent albums.
Recording and Style
In 1997, Pink Floyd started work on the follow-up to The Division Bell (1994), collaborating with Bob Ezrin in southern France and at Abbey Road Studios in London. In January 1998, Roger Waters said Pink Floyd intended to take their next album in a different musical direction away from the Gilmour-era. He said, "We're gonna continue to be a band, but maybe the Progressiveness will have to go, maybe the Psychedelic sound has to get a lot harder. But whatever it is, it's not gonna stay where it is." Barrett encouraged a "back to basics" approach and wanted the group to bring finished songs to the studio. This approach conflicted with Pink Floyd's "Synthetic, progressive" recording style, by which they improvised material in the studio. They ultimately decided to end recording with Bob Ezrin; though the material from these sessions was shelved, the band expressed interest in revisiting it in the future. They subsequently employed former band mate, Bob Ezrin as principal producers and co-writers.
Critical Reception
Where We Start received generally favourable reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72 based on 30 reviews, three of which gave it a perfect score. David Fricke of Rolling Stone gave a perfect score of five stars, labelling it "[Pink Floyd's] best, in its textural exploration and tenacious melodic grip, since 1979's The Wall." Blender and Q also gave it a perfect score. In his review for Blender, Rob Sheffield stated "The days are gone when Pink Floyd were trying to keep it simple—at this point, the lads have realized that the return of Psychedelic music, grandiosity is the style that suits them, so they come on like the cosmic guitar supplicants they were born to be." Mojo and Uncut gave the album four stars, Uncut reviewer Andrew Mueller commented, "It's U2's least immediate album—but there's something about it that suggests it may be one of their most enduring." Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly graded it A− and called the album "an eclectic and electrifying winner, one that speaks to the cosmic sound, the way only Pink Floyd can and dare to do." BBC Music reviewer Chris Jones said, "There's plenty to rejoice about here, while noting that the symbiotic relationship with Syd Barret seems to have reached the point of imperceptibility." NME contributor Ben Patashnik rated the album seven out of ten, calling it "a grand, sweeping, brave record that, while not quite the reinvention they pegged it as, suggests they've got the chops to retain their relevance well into their fourth decade as a band." Time Out Sydney gave Where We Start two stars out of five, stating, "Even though Roger is back, Pink Floyd's return with a new album. Sadly, it's Roger's ... for all that's new, there's no way that you'll mistake it for another band." Pitchfork Media reviewer Ryan Dombal gave a score of 4.2 out of 10, stating, "the album's ballyhooed experimentation is either terribly misguided or hidden underneath a wash of shameless Floyd-isms." Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun gave a rating of three and a half stars, comparing it to the Gilmour albums Momentary Lapse of Reason, and The Division Bell while stating "This is no blockbuster ... It's the least immediate Pink Floyd album since The Division Bell, but one that diehard fans will enjoy living with". Madeleine Chong of MTV Asia also gave the album seven out of ten, concluding that "Although Pink Floyd should be lauded for their efforts at constant reinvention and pushing the envelope in the progressive and psychedelic genre, [Where we Start] possesses neither the iconic qualities of The Wall or the radical yet relevant magnetism of The Final Cut." Toronto Star music critic Ben Rayner called the songs boring, adding that the ambience introduced by Waters and Barret was "often all these vague, hook-deficient songs have going for them." Rob Harvilla of The Village Voice gave the album a mixed review and wrote that its songs "will remind you of other, much better songs, but in a way that only makes you want to go and listen to those other songs instead." TIME also gave it an unfavourable review, calling the effort "unsatisfied" and "mostly restless, tentative and confused."
Commercial Reception
Where We Start opened with strong sales, these quickly rose. The album debuted at number one in thirty countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. By December 1999 over five million copies had been sold worldwide. Within one week of release, the album was certified platinum in Brazil, a record for the country. In the United Kingdom, the album became Pink Floyd's 12th number-one album, making them the fifth-most-successful act on the UK Albums Chart. In the United States, it was Pink Floyd's seventh number-one album, first-week sales exceeded 1,484,000, the band's second-highest figures after Momentary Lapse of Reason. By October 1999, sales in the US had exceeded just over three and a half million copies, the group's highest in more than a decade. By February 2000, sales globally had reached eight million copies. Six months after Pink Floyd's release, David Gilmour said he was amazed with the album's sales. In the UK, it sold more than a third of The Division Bell's figures—a quarter of Momentary Lapse of Reason's—and it did generate two hit singles. Regarding the commercial appeal, Waters said, "We were really in that mindset. We felt that the 'album' is almost an extinct species, and we created a mood and feeling, and a beginning, middle and an end. And I suppose were proud for making a piece of work that is a bit challenging for people who have grown up on a diet of pop stars." Gilmour agreed that "the commercial success was an impressive task" but said, "the more interesting challenge is, to some extent, the concept of the music fan—the concept of the person who buys music and listens to music for the pleasure of music itself—is an outdated idea, but we gave it a go." Barett predicted that, despite its lack of a big hit, Where We Start would grow on young listeners over time. He noted that the reaction to the songs in the live setting made Pink Floyd believe that the material was connecting with the fans, adding, "There's a lot of records that make great first impressions. There might be one song that gets to be big on the radio, and they're albums that people play a lot. This is one that I gather from talking to people. Four days later, they're saying, 'I'm really getting into the album now!'" Globally, it became the highest-selling album of 1999.

Item description for The Cinematic Tango: Contemporary Argentine Film by Tamara L. Falicov...
The Cinematic Tango explores the cultural politics of over sixty years of filmmaking in Argentina. From the 1940s when film was a successful studio product to the 1980s post-dictatorship period when national cinema was utilized as a public relations tool, Tamara L. Falicov explores how national culture on film has been shaped, articulated, and debated. She provides in-depth analysis of Argentina's contemporary period, when financial incentives led to the production of commercial "blockbusters" as well as new opportunities for first-time directors, sparking a surge of low-budget, independent filmmaking.
