Tony Noa: "Marrero opened my eyes to the federal market"
The creator and CEO of 360 Energy Solutions recounts his story of challenges and successes on the path to becoming a contractor for the United States Federal Government.
Appearing in the annual list of America's fastest-growing privately owned firms published by Inc. magazine is a prize for any businessman. Appearing three consecutive times on their 5000 list is a major achievement. Tony Noa, founder and president of 360 Energy Solutions, has done it.
Son of first generation Cuban immigrants who arrived in the United States in 1961, this Miami-born businessman stands out in the power generator sector, both in the private and federal markets.
His almost 20 years of experience in the field have earned him important local clients, such as Florida International University, Jackson Memorial Hospital and Miami-Dade County. His open-mindedness, meanwhile, has led him to work for the Department of Agriculture, the Coast Guard and the US Air Force.
But how has this entrepreneur managed to get this far? What challenges has he faced? What has nurtured this business to succeed like this, so big?
Let's get to know a little about his story
Tony Noa: When my parents came to the United States, they went to live in New York. They were there for two years, my older sister was born there and, like every Latino family, they stayed together, trying to help each other. After that they moved to Miami, where my other sister and I were born. Shortly after, when I was four years old, my dad died, so my mom dedicated herself to raising her three children. I finished high school and did not go to university, because I had to start working at a very young age. I worked for airlines and also UPS, as a truck driver, and in 2000, I started to work with Caterpillar selling generators. I worked in the leasing and services areas, practically, in all departments, until April 2011. When I left that company, my wife was seven months pregnant. I had never thought about being an entrepreneur, but getting out of there was the best thing that could happen to me, because it was a fundamental part in the direction my life would take.
Alone, without knowing what to do, the young entrepreneur decided to create his generator service and maintenance company, and just like that he leaped into entrepreneurship as the owner of his own business.
Tony Noa: I chose one of the most popular areas in Miami, the 33137 zip code; I would park my car at a Wendy's or Taco Bell and I would walk from door to door, from building to building, offering my services. That's how I started: knocking on doors. Then I focused on other areas of Miami. I was looking for buildings with more than three stories, which must have had a generator for the elevator and emergency lights. Six months later I was able to bring in another person to help me in the office. And about a year and a half later, I started to get technicians. It was hard because experienced technicians earn good salaries and have better benefits. It was not easy for them to leave a national company to work with a stranger who was just starting out. For me, it was essential to make them feel secured and comfortable after I brought them into the team, so they could know we were going to take care of them. So, I focused on working with the team within a 15-mile radius of our headquarters in order to provide quick service, especially in emergencies.
Transitioning to the federal market
After expanding his business horizon to other areas of Miami and its surroundings, as well as working for multiple private clients, public schools, universities, hospitals, etc., Noa decided to venture into the federal sector and, for this, he let himself to be guided by Rafael Marrero, the most renowned national expert in doing business with Uncle Sam.
Tony Noa: We had quite a few opportunities locally, with very diverse clients, but when I met Marrero, he opened my eyes to the opportunities in the federal market. At an event we both attended, I overheard him talking about his company and the services he offers. So, I decided to talk to him. He helped me with the SBA 8 (a) Certification and also as a Minority Business Enterprise.
At the same time, Marrero's firm has advised him with the SBA 8(a) Business Plan (form 1010c) for the coming years, launching an effective supplier diversity business development program and the proper marketing presentations to the federal sector.
Tony Noa: When I started working with Marrero, I already had my Capability Statement, but he helped me to change it according to government marketing best practices. He also helped me with the Strategy Growth Assessment to plan the strategy of how to find opportunities and win contracts.
The CEO of 360 Energy Solutions holds the highest opinion regarding the guidance of the expert in government affairs and the quality of his management as an advisor in the Business-to-Government relationship.
Tony Noa: Marrero has introduced me to leaders of organizations and chambers of commerce. He is a very serious, professional person, who always projects a very good image.
Plans in his mind
With a workforce of almost 30 employees and a growth of over 400% in the last three years, this Cuban-American business will do nothing but grow. In the short term, as Noa told us, the company will have a second branch in central Florida to cover the northern part of the state, enabling it to provide its services to many other clients.
At the federal level, the three-time Inc. recognized fast growing company will continue to seek contracting opportunities under the advice of the author of La Salsa Secreta del Tío Sam.
Tony Noa: We will continue working with Marrero and we recommend him because he is a great partner for any company wanting to work in the federal market.

RELATIONS BETWEEN ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS AND LATENT DIMENSIONS OF STRENGTH IN PERSONS OF ABOVE-AVERAGE MOTOR ABILITIES
Milan Cvetkovic, Damjan Jakšic and Dejan Orlic Faculty of sport and physical education
University of Novi Sad
Mere enrollment on the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education assumes that the
population has been selected according to several criteria. One of the most typical criteria is
motor development, hence students of sport and physical education might be treated as persons
of above-average motor abilities. Test battery of 17 anthropometrical tests and 14 strength tests
has been applied on the sample of 149 males, students of the Faculty of Sport and Physical
Education in Novi Sad. The purpose of this paper is to determine relations between
anthropometrical measures and latent dimensions of strength. Within the latent space of strength,
after Promax rotation of major components and based on KG criteria, three strength factors have
been isolated: static and repetitive strength, especially that of hands and trunk to a lesser degree,
explosive strength of legs, and explosive strength of arms. Finaly, three statistically significant
canonical correlations have been isolated. The first is that of explosive strength of arms having
negative correlation with all anthropometrical variables, the second is explosive strength of legs
which is in negative correlation with subcutaneous fat tissue of upper leg and triceps, but in
positive correlation with the measures of longitudinal dimensionality of skeleton, whereas the
third is static and repetitive strength of arms (and trunk to a lesser degree) being in negative
correlation with body height and leg length.
Key words: students/ static and repetitive strength/ explosive strength

Justin's Place is a coed, Christian-based residential substance abuse treatment center in Naples, Florida. The program operates out of St. Matthew's House, a homeless shelter and feeding ministry. It was founded in 2010 as an all-male program and expanded in 2013 to include female clients. Justin's Place serves not only clients who are suffering from substance abuse, but also homeless men and women hoping to get their lives back on track.
The treatment program is divided into three separate phases. Male residents in the first and third phases stay in the Wolfe Apartments complex in Naples. Those in the second phase stay about 60 miles away at the Port LaBelle Inn in Labelle, Florida.
The Phase 1 accommodations at the Wolfe Apartments are dorm-style and sleep a total of 16 men in twin beds, but typically only 10 to 12 stay at a time. A mentor or intern—usually a graduate of Justin's Place—stays overnight with the clients.
The Port Labelle Inn is a three-story hotel situated on a 40-acre plot of land. Although the building still functions as a hotel, the third floor is reserved for Justin's Place clients to continue their treatment. Each room sleeps two to three clients, with the entire floor accommodating up to 50, and comes equipped with its own bathroom. The program uses hotel conference rooms to host group meetings, lectures and its family retreat.
The men can graduate to actual apartment-style living at the Wolfe Apartments once they transition into the third phase of recovery. The basic accommodations are one-bedroom apartments that typically house two to three clients at a time.
Female clients live on the St. Matthew's campus, graduating after the first 30 days from a house with bunk beds to small houses with rooms that are shared between four women.
Justin's Place provides three meals a day. For Wolfe residents, food is prepared by the St. Matthew's kitchen staff, then delivered to the apartments where clients eat communally. The cooks use fresh meats, fruit and vegetables in every meal. While special diets are not accommodated, Justin's Place does provide transportation to and from Walmart if clients wish to purchase additional food items.
The treatment program lasts for 13 months and clients can expect to attend group therapy and lectures and to work the 12 steps. The first phase of treatment—the motivational track—lasts for four to six weeks and introduces clients to a rigorous schedule. Residents awake at 5 am and are expected to start their day by working out at the campus gym followed by breakfast at St. Matthew's. At 8 am, clients have an hour-long bible study and devotion before beginning their group meetings at 9 am. The groups in this phase are relatively small with only 10 clients per meeting.
This phase also includes intensive lectures and group meetings—all based around the 12 steps—tackling one step at a time as a group. Clients are not allowed to leave the apartments at night and must always be with other members of the program.
During Phase 1, clients are also regularly involved in faith-based activities—including mandatory attendance at church services on Wednesdays and Sundays and a faith-to-faith AA/NA meeting on Thursdays. Justin's Place also uses Celebrate Recovery to tie biblical lessons to recovery. While Justin's Place is a Christian-based organization, they believe the purpose of faith in recovery is not necessarily conversion, but rather to teach clients to place their problems in the hands of a Higher Power.
The second phase of treatment is called the "discovery track" and lasts for six months. During this phase, clients continue with lectures and group meetings each morning. In the afternoon, they volunteer in the community at an organization of their choice. Approved volunteer options include the Guardian Dog Angel Program, where clients help train dogs for disabled veterans; the Echo Project, which involves the cultivation of vegetables and fruit; and Catalyst Kitchen, a local food bank. Clients can also help with hospitality and maintenance at the Port LaBelle Inn if they wish.
The third phase of treatment is the "transition track" and lasts from seven to eight months. Clients are given a part-time job at a St. Matthew's-run thrift store to encourage responsibility and accountability.
Altogether, residents study and work for seven to eight steps over the entire course of their stay.
Upon graduation from Justin's Place, clients can apply for the "recovery for life" program, which allows them to continue living at the Wolfe Apartments for another year. Justin's Place believes that this program can help clients not only continue their recovery in a safe environment while transitioning into normal life but also become involved in the recovery of others who are just joining the program.
Although the Justin's Place program is not dual diagnosis, clients with mental health issues and co-occurring disorders are referred to a local health center for additional treatment. Clients in need of detox are also referred out to a local health center or hospital.
Staff are a mix of interns, Justin's Place graduates and some Master's-level counselors. The number of staff members varies but the program aims for a one-to-four staff-to-client ratio.
While staying at both the Wolfe Apartments and the Port Labelle Inn, clients are regularly breathalyzed and drug tested.
Although Justin's Place does not have a formal family program, they do host a yearly retreat for family members at the Port LaBelle Inn. The retreat lasts for three days and two nights and staff members educate family members about how to avoid enabling and co-dependent behavior throughout the client's recovery.
St. Matthew's operates a network of thrift stores that regularly employ Justin's Place graduates. The stores also supply free and discounted clothes to clients.
Justin's Place is an affordable treatment option for clients who are interested in rehab for substance abuse as well as learning life skills. Their three-phase treatment program requires a high level of commitment to recovery as clients are on a strict recovery schedule for well over a year.
Do you have a complaint or review of Justin's Place to add? Use the comments area below to add your Justin's Place review.
Do you have a program for families my husband and I have a one year old child and are looking for rehabilitation services and are trying not to be separated from one another if you have a program that can accommodate us or can point us in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Home / Viewpoint Magazine / Issue 4: The State
Lessons for Building a Democratic Workers' State
The Crisis of Social Democracy
The failure of socialism in the early 20th century is a product of the internal contradictions of bourgeois democracy, which permitted independent working-class organizations on condition that they did not pose a challenge to the capitalist state.1 In this way, the most significant historic fracture on the Left, one which remains with us today, followed the eager embrace of liberal democracy by Second International reformist socialists. The rise of social democracy in Germany dashed any prospect of a transition to working class power in Europe by instead appealing to the base sentiment of nationalism. But even more importantly, the rise of social democracy under capitalism was a declaration of war against the revolutionary Left that advocated a socialist break with capitalism. Social democracy is still more a declaration of war by the leading workers' organizations of the imperialist countries, as well as their followers, on the oppressed nations of the Third World. From the late nineteenth century and increasingly until today, it is only the unrequited transfer of wealth from the latter to the former that has provided the rising incomes necessary to sustain a mass working class base for social democracy.2
Lenin as intellectual and revolutionary always recognized the state as a coercive apparatus in Tsarist Russia and the capitalist west. Following Marx, Lenin also recognized that socialist revolution would bring about a workers' state that would maintain power through coercion. Decisively, the socialist state, under attack from national and international capitalists, would operate at the directive of the working class and peasants. Lenin sees the state as permanently repressive. The formation of the workers' state following the Bolshevik Revolution did not transform the fact that state power remains rooted in class power. By raising an idealistic unobtainable bar for a workers' state as an idyllic paradise of democracy and equality far above the present bourgeois liberal democracy is sheer fantasy rooted in pretense and chicanery. Georg Lukács underscores the revolutionary nature of the historically grounded state:
Workers' Soviets as a state apparatus: that is the state as a weapon in the class struggle of a proletariat. Because the proletariat fights against bourgeois class rule and strives to create a classless society, the undialetical and therefore unhistorical and unrevolutionary analysis of opportunism concludes that the proletariat must fight against all class rule; in other words, its own form of domination should under no circumstances be an organ of class rule, of class oppression. Taken abstractly this basic viewpoint is Utopian, for proletarian rule cold never become a reality in this way; taken concretely, however, and applied to the present, it exposes itself as an ideological capitulation to the bourgeoisie.3
Of course, in 1918 the distinction was that the state would operate in the interests of the working class. This did not denote that the state would cease to be a coercive and violent force, even if it would be far less destructive than the bourgeois-liberal state that has operated and continues to operate in the form of a violent dictatorship. The liberal-democratic state is a violent class dictatorship. The targets of this violence and the forms it takes change over time. The maintenance of social peace and inter-class national solidarity in the developed countries has typically come about by displacing violent class antagonisms onto oppressed nations and peoples. Thus, for example, whilst placating the militant (and largely Jim Crow) white working class at home, the Roosevelt presidency of the 1930s stepped up repression of the Puerto Rican independence struggle. As such, the violent class dictatorship of bourgeois society can be seen most clearly in the colonial world. There, as Marx said, is displayed the "profound hypocrisy and inherent barbarism of bourgeois civilization [that] lies unveiled before our eyes, turning from its home, where it assumes respectable forms, to the colonies, where it goes naked." In the same article, he wrote that capitalist progress resembled a "hideous, pagan idol, who would not drink the nectar but from the skulls of the slain."4
Lenin certainly recognized that the state was an instrument of class power and would be wielded in the interests of the class that seized power. As Lenin states: "The main thing that socialists fail to understand and that constitutes their short-sightedness in matters of theory, their subservience to bourgeois prejudices and their political betrayal of the proletariat is that in capitalist society, whenever there is any serious aggravation of the class struggle intrinsic to that society, there can be no alternative but the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or the dictatorship of the proletariat. Dreams of some third way are reactionary, petty-bourgeois lamentations."5 Imperialist capitalism, of course, by displacing class contradictions onto a world scale, allows these dreams to become a reality for a minority of the world's workers (and, initially, only a minority of the metropolitan workers, too). Further revolutionary workers' states have not cynically asserted that they were an abstract force for freedom, equality, and a means of guaranteeing social rights, as was the case in every liberal-democratic regime.
Given the failure of European socialist revolutions in the early 20th century, Lenin was most eager to develop the forces of production for the Soviet workers state. To do so also required the domination of the working class. The notion of the state as a transmission belt is a recognition that the seizure of power by workers and peasants would not transform the state straightaway into a socialist paradise.
The act of seizing state power does not alter the landscape and apparatus of the repressive state, which, under workers' control, represents and defends the class interests of the proletariat; the organized trade unions which formed under liberal democracy must alter their stance to defend the project of socialist transformation in opposition to capital and support of the proletarian state, which at times inevitably will lead to conflict within the labor organization. Lenin makes this patently obvious in in "Role and Functions of the Trade Unions," upon launching the New Economic Policy in 1922.
The only correct, sound and expedient method of removing friction and of settling disputes between individual contingents of the working class and the organs of the workers' state is for the trade unions to act as mediators, and through their competent bodies either to enter into negotiations with the competent business organisations on the basis of precise demands and proposals formulated by both sides, or appeal to higher state bodies.6
Marxist currents over the past century have selectively emphasized the Marxist-Leninist vision that they share and discard those doctrinal arguments that may be uncomfortable and do not conveniently fit in to their perspective, rooted in a puerile utopianism. However, a humanitarian and moral Leninist perspective can be drawn from the above passage. To wit: Lenin understands the profound internal divisions within the working class, and the actuality that a parasitic fraction benefits materially from its position in established trade unions under competitive capitalism. Trade unions forged under capitalism are often not engaged in class struggle for systemic change but preoccupied with economism that benefits individual privileged workers over the masses—first against unorganized elements of the class, and then through imperialism and monopoly capitalism.
State Power Today
To understand the relevance of the state power in the contemporary era we are duty-bound to begin by detecting the profound transformations within capitalism over the past 100 years, under which the working classes in the imperial world have gained material advantages through the marginalization and collective exploitation of workers more generally in the Global South. As Ellen Meiksins Wood maintains, state power was and remains crucial to maintaining class power and privilege throughout the history of capitalism,7 a position that is shared by French political economists Gérard Duménil and Dominique Lévy, who document a class and imperial project under historical capitalism.8 Today more than ever the state exerts power through direct exploitation of workers in the semi-colonial world.
The transformation of the Chinese workers' state to market socialism is crucial to investigate in this context, as it represents a variation of Lenin's understanding of developing the forces of production carried to the extreme. The PRC and the Communist Party of China maintain firm control of the organs of all organizational and state power. Workers are subordinated to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, a remote trade union organization that claims to represent the interest of organized labor. But we do have a difference: the industrial working class in China is emerging as the majority and is hardly a freeloading class profiteering off the exploitation of lower-wage workers in a dependent state. Concomitantly, Chinese industrial workers maintain state power in the abstract sense and would benefit from organizing a broader class alliance within a mutable and ideologically warped state that is cohering in support of the upper class and foreign capital. Workers are engaged in direct struggle against private, mostly foreign capital devoid of organizational power for their class.
It is fundamental to establish what we mean by the representation of state power. I would argue that the nature and location of state power has not appreciably changed over the last 100 years if understood through the prism of a hierarchical system of states dominated by an imperial core. The former colonial powers continue to dominate the world through international relations established upon superior force and economic dependency. However, state power does vary over time and place, principally according to the dynamic between the political exigencies of class struggle and the economic priorities of its protagonists. Thus, for example, what Bagchi refers to as the developmental state is one in which government policy is designed to promote national economic development.9 The developmental state can, of course, be one in which the national bourgeoisie rules primarily in its own interests, whether by means of parliamentary democracy or right-wing dictatorship (as, for example, in post-war Japan and Rhee's southern Korea, respectively); one in which the working masses, the peasantry and proletariat, rule (as in the USSR under Lenin and Stalin and China under Mao); or an admixture of the two types (as in the USSR after Stalin and China today). Such states are relatively distinct both from imperialist sates and colonial dependencies. In the early 20th century the United States and a handful of declining European powers dominated the world through the exertion of economic and military force. Today the domination of the US ruling capitalist class is more far-reaching than a century ago, through its increased capacity to demarcate the boundaries of independent state activity and to subordinate the interests of smaller states to its class and geopolitical interests. As imperialism has integrated the world economy even further, any state that threatens to depart from the dominant international neoliberal paradigm is scorned, punished, and excluded from the international system.
The state remains an oppressive instrument today and is controlled by the capitalist class.
Revolutionaries must challenge capital's control over the state through exposing its sham democratic pretenses that maintain and expand the power of the upper class and under which political competition offers no hope and only misery for the working class. The violent suppression and eradication of political opponents of white supremacy and capitalism in the United States are a testament to the fraudulent nature of alleged "representative" liberal democracy there. We must pursue a revolutionary strategy not just to challenge a rapacious state, but also to forestall the growth of national chauvinism which is emerging due to popular recognition of the failure of electoral systems and the alarming growth of paramilitary police and incarceration systems. The façade of democracy is now exposed to the popular masses at a time when fascist parties are emerging as the only organized political alternative. More likely is a rise of the fascist right, which can manipulate worker interests in Europe and elsewhere far better than liberals and social democrats. Fascism's appeal to the metropolitan working class in the current crisis stems from its unmitigated promise to maintain and extend existing patterns of labor stratification based on established national and gender hierarchies. Social democratic trade unions and their leaders in settler-colonial states have a history of embracing outright white nationalism and chauvinism when the victims of colonial-capitalist exploitation appear as any form of labor competition amongst them. I would not say that workers whose living standards have always come at the expense of the superexploited and oppressed are being "manipulated" when they are encouraged to join in a renewed drive to plunder them further. Proletarian feminist revolutionary nationalism, by contrast, aims at the expulsion of imperialism from oppressed nation territories by means of creating a worker-led united front of all sections of the oppressed with all patriotic classes. Support for the anti-imperialist struggles of the oppressed nations is a solid foundation for socialist ideology in the current age just as much as it was a century ago. Unfortunately, it faces the same and even greater obstacles now as then. Poulantzas was correct about the necessity of democracy under socialism, but he also did not have a solution to the greater danger of capital and its ability to create the appearance of real power struggles among competitive parties, hypnotize people through the media and disillusion most people who seek to create an equitable democracy.10
A revolutionary stance must first and foremost appear as a political movement that repudiates the existing bourgeois political system and categorically distinguishes the far more exploited workers in the South from those struggling in the North. Occupy gained traction in 2011 amid working class frustration with capitalist domination over state, politics, and society, not just in the West but throughout the world. But the diffuse movements lacked a dialectical historical analysis of class interest in global capitalism and were an expression of disapproval rather than a revolutionary challenge to capitalist hegemony.
Imperialism and the Global South
One hundred and ten years ago, the Industrial Workers of the World formed in strict opposition to the capitalist state. They did not believe in compromising the principles of socialism and believed strongly in a disciplined opposition to capital. The provisional interests of the working class were upheld through tactics. The IWW was a genuinely proletarian party for a time, but the economism of the IWW was responsible for its fatal inability to connect US labor struggles to those of the oppressed internal colonies.
A working class and anti-imperialist party form dedicated to the overthrow of capitalism and in opposition to US and western hegemonic power is indispensable. Occupy was right to direct indignation at finance capital, but failed to express its opposition to the capitalist and imperial state as such. A socialist strategy must have at its core taking state power: but to succeed we must challenge the power of imperial states to dictate extractive and unequal policies around the world. We must seek a power bloc that is not the conventional set of left parties, but a bloc of working-class/anti-imperialist forces in the Global South, recognizing class inequality within a divided world system. We also must recognize the sustained importance of imperialism. In the 1970s to 1980s, smug Western Marxists and Eurocommunists all but jettisoned the concept as an applicable means for understanding the reality of class struggles on a global basis. Opposition to capitalism without a grasp of the class divisions that correspond with national boundaries is essential.
Ever since the French Socialists came to power in 1981 it is obvious to us all that the Second International socialism idea of the Left taking power is delusional, even if it provided a momentary period of hope when capital in the modern state was ascendant and the post-war Soviet Union was failing to meet its ideals rooted in building a workers' state. Socialist praise for the development of civil liberties and human rights in the West is highly insensitive to cultural difference and relevant only to the privileged and a thin layer of the oppressed. We have no examples of successes on the Left in the West that could be sustained for more than a short period of time without a counterattack from capital. The growth of financialization has made it even more difficult to rein in the power of capital in most states. The idea of a power bloc, as in Greece and other regions, is a stimulating undertaking for the Left, but it is also largely bereft of any concrete evidence that it will achieve any gain.
Taking state power is only relevant if seized by socialists in the Third World countries on a regional geographic level. Yes, something like a Soviet Union. In the early 21st century most states can be turned into "failed states" if opposed by capital. Thus. we need to re-imagine taking state power on a much wider level. The axiom of the Cold War era that imperial wars were to be fought over the spoils in the Third World is more prescient today than ever, as class struggles expand in the Global South and the West is extending its exploitation from extractive industries to the production of commodities. The United States is reviving its Cold War stance not in opposition to Russia or other regional states, but out of fear that a working class bloc could form at a time when the West is ever more dependent on both natural resources and commodities produced by workers in the Global South.
This model is analogous to extant socialist states that have asserted the importance of developing the means of production before advancing the class interests. The state becomes essentially the representative of the workers. The question is whether in fact the "communist" State does represent the interests of workers and peasants. This is certainly not the case in China and Vietnam, and other states that are advancing with the patina of "communism." The Chinese state could crush the "democracy" protests of the educated middle class at Tiananmen Square, and perhaps Hong Kong, but given the nature of state power, this new movement could gain control over the state: a fate much more threatening to The City of London and Wall Street than to Beijing. Thus we could consider the potential of workers' states to evolve into representatives of the working class, as direct struggles grow at an ever more rapid pace.

Bob Costas impressed with Vick, says Rays reach playoffs could be good for baseball
NBC and MLB Network broadcaster Bob Costas joined guest host Howard Eskin to talk about some of the big stories in the NFL and baseball.
Costas was in Atlanta to see Michael Vick against the Falcons on Sunday. Costas was impressed with Vick as a player.
"He's a much better passer in the pocket," Costas said. "He works harder. He puts in more time."
Costas said that as far as personally, "so far, so good." He said that you can't put a bow around something like that though.
Costas has an interesting comment on the AL playoff race. He said in the short term MLB wants the Red Sox. But if the Rays make it, it shows a small-market team can thrive. That will inspire small-market clubs.
Costas agrees with Howard that the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw is the NL Cy Young.
Howard asked Costas his favorite baseball movie. Costas went with Bull Durham as No. 1.

Василий Михайлович Удалой (ум. 1495/1501) — служилый князь Верейский, старший сын удельного князя Михаила Андреевича Верейского (1432—1486) и Елены Ярославны Боровской (ум. 1486). Троюродный брат великого князя московского Ивана III Васильевича.

В 1468 году князь Василий Удалой выступает на сцену политической деятельности. В этом и следующих годах он участвовал в походах русских войск на Казанское ханство.

В 1471 году Василий Удалой вместе со своим отцом, князем Михаилом Андреевичем Верейским, участвовал в первом походе Ивана III Васильевича. Отец и сын с удельной дружиной осадили новгородский городок Демон, который сдался им, выплатив выкуп в размере 100 рублей. В 1472 году Василий Михайлович Удалой участвовал в отражении орды золотоордынского хана Ахмата от берегов р. Оки.

В 1477-1478 годах вместе со своим отцом участвовал во втором походе великого князя московского Ивана III Васильевича на Новгородскую республику. В 1480 году Василий Удалой вместе со старшим сыном и соправителем великого князя Иваном Молодым и его дядей, князем тарусским Андреем Васильевичем Меньшим, участвовал в отражении Ахмат-хана от берегов реки Угры.

В 1482 году Иван III Васильевич заключил договор со своим двоюродным дядей Михаилом Андреевичем Верейским, внуком Дмитрия Донского. Михаил Верейский отказался от своих прав на Белоозеро и был оставлен только пожизненным владельцем своего удела без права передачи владения своему старшему сыну Василию Удалому.

В 1483 году князь-воевода Василий Михайлович Удалой попал в опалу. В том году у великого князя московского Ивана III родился внук Дмитрий Иванович. По этому случаю он «сноху свою (Елену Стефановну, жену Ивана Молодого) дарити сажением первые своей великые княины тферьскые». Однако это «сажение» (драгоценное узорочье-ожерелье) великая княгиня Софья Фоминична подарила своей племяннице Марии Андреевне Палеолог, вышедшей замуж за князя Василия Михайловича Верейского.
Разгневанный великий князь приказал отобрать у князя Верейского все приданое его жены и, кроме того, «хотел его и со княгинею поимати». В том же 1483 году Василий Удалой вместе с женой Марией бежал в Великое княжество Литовское. Король польский и великий князь литовский Казимир Ягеллончик принял с почестями князя-перебежчика. В октябре 1483 года Василий Михайлович Удалой получил от Казимира в удельное владение Любеч, Койданово, Воложин, Радошковичи.

После бегства своего сына Василия в Литву удельный князь Михаил Андреевич Верейский вынужден был заключить в 1484 году новый вассальный договор с великим князем московским Иваном III Васильевичем. Михаил Верейский обязался не именить никаких сношений со своим сыном-перебежчиком и вынужден был завещать свой удел великому князю. В апреле 1486 года после смерти верейского князя Михаила Андреевича Иван III Васильевич присоединил Верейское княжество (Верея и Малоярославец) к великокняжеским владениям.

В 1493 году великая княгиня София Фоминична выхлопотала Василию Михайловичу Верейскому и его жене прощение и разрешение вернуться на родину, но изгнанники почему-то не воспользовались этим. В 1494 году после заключения вечного мира между великим князем московским Иваном III Васильевичем и великим князем литовским Александром Казимировичем, последний обязался Василия Михайловича «не отпущати никуде, и пойдет проч из земли, и его опять не приимати».

Семья
Василий Удалой был женат на Марии Андреевне Палеологине, дочери титулярного деспота морейского Андрея Палеолога (1453—1502), племяннице Софии Фоминичны Палеологины, второй жены великого князя московского Ивана III Васильевича. Дети:

 Софья Васильевна Верейская (ум. в августе 1549), жена с 1505 года крупного литовского магната Альбрехта Мартыновича Гаштольда (ум. 1539). После смерти Василия Верейского его единственная дочь Софья унаследовала все его владения, которые затем перешли её мужу.

The former Lemoyne Middle School building sits at 701 Market St. in the borough. The building could be demolished to make room for the development of residential and commercial buildings on the site.
The uncertainty of plans to redevelop the former Lemoyne Middle School had local borough council members apprehensive to issue a letter of support to a company looking to turn the now vacant and deteriorating building into a residential and commercial site.
Instead, they asked a representative of the building's owner, Real Estate Collaborative LLC, to provide additional details so a decision on whether to show support for a $1 million grant application can be made.
"We need to see exactly what you are putting out there for our town," Councilwoman Kasha Griva said of a plan that could include demolition of the school.
And some community members argued that demolition of the former school building at the "geographic heart" of the Lemoyne could lead to the loss of an aesthetic landmark, compromising the borough's historic integrity.
MacDonald spoke about her concerns for the school before and during council's Thursday work session meeting.
The school was closed in 2013, when West Shore School District officials were seeking a way to cut operating costs the following school year.
Closing the middle school, they said, would provide a savings of $1.15 million.
And in April of 2013, school board members voted unanimously to shut down the school, with an understanding that the closure would take place in July.
Students who attended the Lemoyne Middle School would instead be sent to three remaining middle schools — Allen, Crossroads and New Cumberland.
It was a decision that some parents opposed, worrying about children who'd have to adjust to new educational environments and staff members who might lose their jobs.
Despite those concerns, the school was closed, and, in December of that year, West Shore School District officials announced that the nearly 96,000-square-foot building at 701 Market St. would be sold.
At that time, borough officials offered suggestions for the redevelopment of the site, which is zoned village mixed use and urban residential. Suggestions included the possible construction of restaurant, lodging and entertainment venues on the property.
By June of 2017, they had a prospective buyer, Real Estate Collaborative LLC, a subsidiary of the Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation.
The Cumberland Area Economic Development Corp. works to redevelop blighted properties that may be problematic and unattractive to private developers.
Mason McClellan, Cumberland Area Economic Development Corp.'s director of realty development, said the existing middle school building is dilapidated.
Photos shared by Real Estate Collaborative LLC officials last year showed the former school with a leaking ceiling and damaged floors.
In 2017, the district was slated to sell the former school building for $450,000.
On Thursday, an official at the Cumberland County Recorder of Deeds' Office said Real Estate Collaborative LLC purchased the property on May 8, 2018, for $250,000.
The plan, McClellan said, is to redevelop the 3-acre site creating a mixed-use area, which would have some combination of residential, commercial and parking lot construction.
The exact configuration of those three components had not been determined by Thursday, McClellan said, adding that his company is now working to find developers for the proposed site.
On Thursday, McClellan was in attendance before Lemoyne Borough Council members, asking them to sign a letter of support, which could help Real Estate Collaborative LLC's chances of securing a Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant from the state.
Other site work and environmental abatement also could be covered by that grant, McClellan said, explaining that the existing building is filled with asbestos, black mold and lead paint.
A demolition permit for the site has not yet been issued or applied for, McClellan said. He explained that the demolition process would be part of the final land development plan.
On Thursday, McClellan said he could not yet say what the entire redevelopment project will cost or what the project timeline will be.
"From day one, we wanted them to repurpose the building," said Laurie Zimmerman, a local resident, who conveyed concerns that council's support of the grant application could also show premature support of demolition.
The former Lemoyne Middle School building sits at 701 Market Street in the borough. The building could be demolished to make room for the development of residential and commercial buildings on the site.
That is especially troubling, Zimmerman said, because an existing zoning overlay for the site could complicate that demolition.
MacDonald said Zimmerman even manages an email list to keep the group informed about goings-on, including about the proposed redevelopment. On Thursday, about 25 people were in attendance at the meeting, but only two spoke during a public comment period — Zimmerman and MacDonald.
At the meeting, MacDonald spoke about a recent meeting she had with McClellan to discuss possible alternatives to building demolition.
"It really is a symbol of Lemoyne," MacDonald said.
Prior to the meeting, she said the original proposal for the site, which included the residential, commercial and parking development, has been viewed as problematic.
"That concept was not well-received," MaDonald said.
She said that she worried about added traffic as a result of new residential construction. MacDonald also said residents have feared that new lots could be used as cut-throughs by motorists hoping to avoid on-street traffic.
Arguments have been made to preserve at least the building's facade, she said.
Preserving part or all of the existing structure has been considered, McClellan said. However, it has been vacant and deteriorating for a number of years, meaning preservation of the building, which was opened in 1929, could be cost prohibitive, he said.
"It just didn't pencil out," McClellan said.
But MacDonald said she wants to know what will pencil out and she said others feel the same.
"I think there is just so much uncertainty about what the project is now," MacDonald said.
That opinion was in line with with comments from Griva, as well as Councilman Joseph Gargiulo, who was sworn into his role Thursday night.
However, McClellan said he could not provide that type of information Thursday night. While he said early talks called for a 17,000-square-foot commercial building and 30 two-story town homes, he stressed that the plan is not set in stone.
And he said the building in its current state may prohibit developers from choosing the site for construction, prolonging the period of uncertainty about what can or will be built.
Also, maintenance of the existing building, which is on the tax rolls, is a mounting expense, McClellan said, explaining that he'd like to move forward with the redevelopment process as quickly as possible.
McClellan said that he'd like to continue to hear from the public throughout the redevelopment.
According to information shared by Cumberland Area Economic Development Corp. officials, a "public engagement process" was enacted to ensure community involvement.
On Thursday, McClellan asked borough council members to issue the letter of support, but they asked to review additional documentation before making that commitment. That documentation includes a copy of the grant application, which they had not viewed before the Thursday meeting.
Real Estate Collaborative LLC officials already have submitted their grant application, McClellan said, adding that while it would be nice to have council's support, it is not necessary to submit the application.
Similar letters have been requested from other government organizations.
McClellan said he is hopeful that grant administrators will announce their Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program funding recipients by spring or summer, though he was not certain about the grant-distribution timeline.
Council members are to vote on whether to give their support to the grant application at a later meeting. Their regular meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Feb. 21.

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,her salvation like a blazing torch.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:they that love thee shall prosper.Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.For my brethren and companions' sakes,I will say now, peace be within thee.For the sake of the House of the Lord our GodI will seek thy good.
They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. Forif the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, theyowe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.


My name is Esperanza and I don't stand for elections. This is a letter to my parents.
I know that sometimes you continue to see me like that little child that cried at the end of every episode of Espinete. But if I write to you from London that's why I became a woman who take part of so-called "the most prepared generation of the History of Spain".
I am prepared for all, but not to miss you so much since I had to emigrate. And I miss you so much. I miss dad telling us his war stories after diner (in fact, I miss after diners, because there aren't here). I miss mum told me the illusion (and fear) that she felt when she arrived from the village, and she asked me not to loosen.
I strike at the patience and tenderness that you had when, at this point of yours lives, you didn't have choice but learn to use Skype and social network because you have a daughter who lives outside.
I miss a lot of things, that is why I write to you. Because I don't want to resign myself for being unable to work in that I studied and I cannot do it close to my people. No one should resign to it.
I want to come back to Spain and I want that a lot of teenagers who I have met in all Europe and they are in the same situation as me can come back… I think that this return can begin on 26th June.
But this letter is not to tell about what happens, but also to thank you.
You taught me the values that I have nowadays.
You inculcated in me when principles is sacrificed, you are renouncing to the most important that you have.
You make me see that the most of people never cease working honestly rather than choosing the easier way that some thieves like so much that we have had as political representatives.
You transmit this illusion for your achievements, when you recovered the democracy and when on 82's you participated on those big wave of change.
I won't ask you to change parties at this stage of your life (certainly you've done more than enough by learning how to use Skype and Facebook), but I want to tell you that, thanks to what you have taught me, I am voting Unidos Podemos.
I am proud of you; so I am voting with an eye to the future. I want a future in which I can return to a Spain where R&D is more protected than bankers. I want to return to a Spain in which there are honest qualified people in Government. I want to return to a Spain not known worldwide because of corruption, junk wages and spree, but for its healthcare system, its renewable energy and, why not dare say it, the talent of its researchers.
I want to live in a country that defends the same thing you defended your whole life, and I want the children I might have to be proud of me just as I'm proud of you.
This one writing now is your daughter, the very same one that cried when Espinete ended. But this one writing now is also a young Spanish researcher in Molecular Biology who had to move to London to be able to work on what she studied.
The people of Unidos Podemos have made this letter arrive to every Spanish home, but I'm sure there'll be thousands of other letters from other youngsters that, just like me, are representative of a generation who always did what was asked of them and now, for the first time, wants to take over their responsibility towards their country.
30 years and 8 months ago you named me Esperanza. I love you.
