Games Magazine Awards
Funagain Games is
Your OFFICIAL SOURCE
for the GAMES 100
Each year since 1980, GAMES Magazine has published a Buyer's Guide to Games in their year-end holiday issue. Except for once or twice in the early 1980s, the article has listed and reviewed one hundred games each year, and was thus dubbed The GAMES 100.
Early in the feature's history, the article served as a reference to many games available on the market, new and old, listing such long-time classic titles as Monopoly, Clue, and Scrabble--and even the occasional toy like Frisbee. In later years, the feature has focused more and more on recognizing the best and most unique new board and card games.
In 1991, GAMES also began recognizing the favorites in each category with a special Best designation, and has selected one game from the whole list to receive the highest honor of Game of the Year.
Through the early 1990s, more and more electronic games were included in the list, with the computer game Myst even winning Game of the Year in 1994. Beginning the following year, computer and cartridge games were split off and given their own separate Electronic Games 100 section.

Buzzer (whirligig)
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Whirligig. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2014.
A buzzer (buzz, bullroarer, button-on-a-string), is an ancient mechanical device used for ceremonial purposes and as a toy. It is constructed by centring an object at the midpoint of a cord or thong and winding the cord while holding the ends stationary. The object is whirled by alternately pulling and releasing the tension on the cord. The whirling object makes a buzzing or humming sound, giving the device its common name.
A buzzer is often constructed by running string through two of the holes on a large button and is a common and easily made toy.
American Indians used the buzzer as a toy and, also ceremonially, as to call up the wind. Early Indian buzzers were constructed of wood, bone, or stone, and date from at least the Fourche Maline Culture, c. 500 B.C.[2][3]

The proponents are always pointing to all of the good it is doing yet I have never heard of anything it has done other than collect money.

Max Chilton is in the frame to get some Friday free practice outings this year as part of his reserve driver role at Marussia.
The Briton, who takes on his new role from the next race in Japan, is hoping to get at least one run at a grand prix this year.
"There is no agreement as such, but I think there is a strong possibility I can have a go this year," Chilton told AUTOSPORT, amid speculation his first chance could come in Abu Dhabi.
"I've driven Abu Dhabi in an F1 car and that is the one I would love to do. I have done a lot of GP2 running there too, so that is the one where I would feel most comfortable, so hopefully I will get the chance. But nothing is agreed as yet."
Chilton is hoping that the experience he gains with Marussia this year, allied to his race-winning success in GP2, puts him in good stead for the step up to an F1 race seat in 2013.
"I think I am ready," he said. "This year I have really worked on everything.
"I have shown I have now improved my qualifying form, my race pace strategy has come on, so I think I am ready to race. It is now whether I get the chance to race."
Chilton says if a race chance was not possible he would be satisfied to take on a reserve role for a season.
"Being a reserve driver would not do me any harm, but as a racer I would like to get behind the wheel.
"I think there is a great feeling behind Marussia. They are a new team and they have got the biggest chance of progression. They now have some really good people behind the scenes but they also have the backing from the Russians, so there is definitely a chance they can get up there because the car next year sounds brilliant."

Episode 419- THE REBEL SET (with short: JOHNNY AT THE FAIR)
In this amusing episode from season 4, Edward Platt (The Chief on Get Smart!) is a criminal mastermind who concocts a heist using some desperate young men from his local pool of beatniks in this 1959 caper film. His scheme also involves eliminating his help after the job so that he can keep all the loot for himself. Don Sullivan, who played Chase Winstead in Giant Gila Monster ("I sing whenever I sing", an MST3K fan favorite) also stars. The short, Johnny At The Fair is hilarious! The short and the main feature in this episode are both black and white. All the other episodes in this set use color films.
Episode 504- SECRET AGENT SUPER DRAGON
MST3K has a fine day making fun of this film, a crummy James Bond wannabe made in Italy in 1966. The original title is "New York chiama Superdrago". The beautiful Marisa Mell who was also in Diabolik (MST3K's final episode!) is in this film. Watch out for the poisoned chewing gum and other "clever" spy gimmicks.
Episode 612- THE STARFIGHTERS
Nothing actually happens in this 1964 film that looks more like a dull documentary than an actual piece of cinema. There's not much of a story, not much action and no great scenes of F-104 Starfighters doing anything spectacular in the way of aviation moves.Read more ›
"The Rebel Set" is a poorly done crime film turned to a good-but-not-great episode from the fourth season. It's mostly chuckle-worthy, but the real laugh-out-loud moments come from the chase towards the end of the film ("The heist is ended. Go in peace.") 7.5/10
Much better is "Secret Agent Super Dragon" a James Bond knock-off that adds great fodder for Joel and the Bots. I love the so-called action sequences ("Oh good, an action sequence...and it's over.") 9/10
What can one say about "The Starfighters"? A flight film where nothing ever happens. It's the weakest episode in this set, but still pretty good, overall. I like the host segments where Crow is trying to call tech support. 7/10
Finally, we get to "Parts: The Clonus Horror", easily one of the strongest episodes of the Sci-Fi channel era. The jokes are really funny and the fact that this movie isn't too bad makes it more worth watching. Yes, it's plagued by a horrendous amount of Biography references, but there are still some great jokes scattered throughout, running at a pretty constant rate 9.5/10
In addition, there's some solid bonus material. For starters, we get theatrical trailers and another compilation of musical host segments. Also, there's a 15-minute interview with "Rebel Set" star Don Sullivan, which incidentally didn't catch my interest.Read more ›
This apparently is the final box set of MST3k DVDs from Rhino (not counting the re-release of Volume 10) before they hand over the reigns to "Shout! Factory". And for their last offering, they've given us a very solid set, splitting its four episodes evenly between Joel-hosted episodes and Mike-hosted episodes.
This film is about Edward Platt (Maxwell Smart's Chief) as the head of a gang of thieves. With his superior intelligence, he has concocted a brilliant heist and has assembled a bunch of bad guys to enact his bidding. His bidding involves a fairly convoluted plan with multiple train journeys, fake police disguises, armored car hold-ups, etc.
For me, one of the funniest running gags was the in-theater argument over whether one of the characters is portrayed by Merritt Stone (by the way, Tom Servo is right: the conductor is played by Gene Roth of ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES fame, not Merritt Stone). The discussion spills out into the final moments where the episode ends with a stupefied TV's Frank franticly flipping back and forth through multiple stacks of film guides trying to figure out which B-movie actor is which. Ah, how difficult it was in those days before the Internet Movie Database.
SASD is one of those kinds of films that was made for MST3k. It's an Italian spy film that's not totally unlike a cheaply made James Bond rip-off. It's the story of a secret government agent who's pulled out of retirement for one final mission. Not only has one of his former colleagues been murdered by an international crime ring, but there's a plot to poison untold millions with tainted chewing gum.Read more ›

Does anyone have any experience or advice about building a zero energy solar home in Florida?
Does anyone have any experience or advice about building a zero energy solar home in Florida?
A friend of mine helped in building "green" homes in Arizona. But, I am not sure if they can quite pull off a zero-energy operation in a functional American home...
Well thats exactly what I just joined to find out.
I want to design and build in the next 5 years a house on Mobile Bay that is 100% off grid. There is plenty of sun here, and water is easily accesed, too, as most of the properties I'm looking at are agricultural and already have wells and leach fields. I would like more wind here, but you can't have everything.
As for an American home being 100% off grid, I just saw an episode of "Living with Ed" that toured Jackson Brown's California home which is totally off grid. As well as being a pretty luxurious barn-style house, it's the first non-experimental self powered home I've seen.
So the questions I have are:
1. Home design/Plot planning. How best to design the house and orient it to best make use of solar energy and light without unnecesarily heating the house.
2. Structural materials. What are the most efficient materials to build a 0-Energy home from? Concrete? Log/stone? Other?
3. Isulation/Windows. What are the best types of insulation and energy efficient glass for a home?
4. Energy supply sources. What is available in high-efficiency solar panels and wind generators? What other forms of power generation are available?
5. Electrical power storage? Once the electricity is generated, how best to store it? Manage it?
6. Hot Water. What is the most efficient method of heating water and storing heated water?
7. What else should we know or consider?
Here is a great article on pdf about two identical homes built in Lakeland, FL. One built traditionally, the other with a few efficientcy tricks--very few. The homes were monitored for four years and the efficientcy house showed 90% less grid usage than the traditional home.
1. Unless ground-mounting, you'll want plenty of roof space that is facing south to south-west. Having the roof-slope be between 4/12 and 5/12 for the best year-round average, unless you are installing a sun-tracking system (much more money for approximately 20% more gain). Also, when we installed, our county code dictated that no roof mounted object could be within 2' from any roof-edge, due to wind-load stress during high-winds; so check your county's codes and plan accordingly. Have any south and south-west facing windows deeply eved. This will keep solar radiation out of the home during the Spring/Summer/Fall months. During winter, with the sun low in the sky, you'll probably get a couple of hours of sun coming in those windows, but you don't really care about that during the cooler months.
2. After looking at a couple of solutions, we went with e-wall out of Sarasota, FL. These are highly insulated and STRONG.
3. I would highly recommend going with a sealed attic that uses isynene insulation. This method puts all of your AC duct-work in conditioned spaces. Add in a reflective metal-roof, and your AC won't have many opportunities to kick on. We like the 3M window film.
4. Wind is probably not an option for Florida; at least it isn't for us in south Florida. On average, it is just too weak and erratic. For 4KW grid-tied PV systems, our install cost is between $8 and $8.20 per watt. However, for your off-grid installation with batteries, your cost will be much higher than that. Don't forget that Florida has a rebate program of $4/watt PV, and ?? for solar water, as well as a $2000 federal tax credit.
5. I haven't looked into this too much, but you still pretty much have to use batteries (though is you set up a 20 ton fly-wheel in a vacuum chamber, let me know!). Use standard lead-acid batteries that are specified for marine or solar applications, as these can handle your deep discharge cycling better.
6. I like the solar hot water system that Solar Energy Systems installs. The hot water storage is a double-lined highly insulated tank (80 or 120 gallon options), and the solar collector (4'x10'; 1 for the small system and 2 for the large system) uses its own PV panel to power the water pump that moves water between the water tank and the solar collector. The brighter the sun is, the faster the water moves between the collector and your water tank.
Hope that helps,

How do we stop natural gas leaks?
Please help tackle two big challenges: Finding leaks and funding repairs
The natural gas pipelines in the U.S. could circle the planet nearly 100 times. In a system that big, leaks are a persistent challenge, with significant implications for our climate.
We have detailed recommendations, but the basic challenges are straightforward, and you can help tackle them.
1. Map leaks in more places
With the methods developed in this pilot project, it's possible to identify and prioritize leaks far more quickly than before. And Google Earth Outreach's mapping tools are a powerful way to visualize the scale of leaks, showing the urgent problem and the efforts by utilities to address it.
Our maps show leaks found at the time of our survey. We encourage utilities to regularly publish their own updated leak maps to show where they have made repairs, and where new leaks are found.
If your area's leaks haven't been mapped, nominate it! This helps us plan where to map next, and shows local utility companies and regulators that you support reducing leaks. (If your city is part of the pilot, see your city page for next steps.)
2. Speak up for improvements
We have to repair and prevent leaks. But once public safety is addressed it can be hard for utilities and state regulators to make the remaining leaks a priority—even though they pack a big punch for climate change. Leaks occur across the natural gas supply chain, from the well site to pipes under local streets. Some states and some companies are taking action. A national policy to reduce methane leaks everywhere would ensure that all sectors of the natural gas industry are doing their part to reduce pollution.
Fortunately, it's an issue the Obama administration is tackling. In 2015, the EPA proposed the first federal rule to directly limit methane emissions from oil and gas operations, unlocking a new opportunity to reduce climate pollution.
That's where you come in: During the public comment period, the EPA needs to hear strong support for limiting methane emissions.
Follow this work
We'll continue to work with utilities and regulators to reduce the harm methane does to our climate. Sign up to hear about progress and opportunities to help.

Almost All Of North Carolina Will Have One Obamacare Insurance Option In 2017
In 2017, a majority of North Carolinians who purchase health insurance on their own will have no choice but to pay their premiums to either Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, or Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The pickings aren't slim in just North Carolina. For anyone remotely following the unraveling of Obamacare, dwindling insurance options has been quite the national issue.
When the federal health law's Exchanges went live in January 2014, North Carolina started with two carriers brave enough to enter into uncharted territory. For the first time, they were required to accept every applicant in the non-group market, regardless of health status. They also agreed to subject themselves to limitations on pricing premiums based on policyholders' actual risk. As predicted by many experts in the field, the deadly combination of the federal government having a larger hand in insurance regulations combined with a weak individual mandate has produced all sorts of unintended consequences. Not enough low-risk people are signing up for health plans in the individual market (just 27% of the 600,000 enrollees in North Carolina are between ages 18-34), claims costs are outweighing premium revenues, and temporary funding streams provided to insurers by the government that are set to expire in 2017 haven't really helped suppress their volatility.
The impacts of these unintended consequences are causing a huge disruption in the non-group insurance market. United is withdrawing from offering plans in 77 of the state's 100 counties. Last week, Aetna officially announced its exodus, citing losses of $400 million nationwide on Obamacare customers within the first two quarters of 2016. The decision to narrow its Obamacare market presence by 70 percent deals another blow to the state, since this means no more Aetna plans to be offered in 39 counties.
That leaves 80 percent of enrollees, or 480,000 residents across the state, with just one insurance option – Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Cigna has decided to enter into North Carolina's Exchange, however the company plans to set up shop in just six counties within the Research Triangle Region.
The Exchange infrastructure is failing. Not only are there limited options, but health plans also are really not affordable.
Not so fast, The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) will say. Three out of four marketplace enrollees are eligible for subsidized plans for $75 a month. Mainstream media consistently report that 90% of North Carolinians qualify for financial assistance.
Yes, some enrollees certainly do benefit from generously subsidized health plans depending on annual household income. Those paying for others' plans don't. Other enrollees, despite receiving subsidies, still struggle to pay their premiums and out of pocket health care costs. And yet they are lost in the financial assistance statistic where it is presumed that, at first glance, an overwhelming majority of North Carolina non-group policyholders have access to affordable health insurance coverage.
That's what the Obama Administration and Co. wants the public to think. After clicking around on healthcare.gov, a few examples demonstrate that Obamacare's high-deductible, high premium health plans turn out to be a lose-lose situation for middle-income individuals and families:
Example 1: A 27-year old female living in Wake County who earns $35,000 a year qualifies for a $14 monthly subsidy. Since catastrophic plans are available for people below the age of thirty, healthcare.gov estimates the lowest cost plan available starts at $142 per month (subsidy included) in conjunction with a $6,000 deductible.
Example 2: A married couple living in Vance County with a combined household income of $70,000 doesn't qualify for a tax credit. Their lowest cost bronze options are estimated at $564 a month for a high deductible health plan that can be paired with a health savings account (HSA). Catastrophic plans aren't available because both spouses are over the age of 30.
Example 3: Suppose that two self-employed parents ages 36 and 34 with two young children earn a combined $100,000 a year. Family plans start out at $784 a month on top of an $11,560 deductible that applies to in-network out of pocket medical expenses only.
The cost of health insurance will likely increase even more for 2018 not just because Blue Cross and Blue Shield will be dominating the individual insurance market, but also because the company will be absorbing more high-risk policyholders who originally purchased plans from either United or Aetna. As of now, Blue Cross and Blue Shield is waiting approval by the Department of Insurance (DOI) to raise premiums by an average of 18% for 2017 plans.
How should America proceed to fix this mess? Insurance companies and Obamacare advocates want more corporate welfare. Market-minded health experts have different schools of thought on how to make health insurance – more importantly health care – more affordable while still catering to people with pre-existing conditions. Decision-making also weighs heavily on who will take over the Oval Office next year.
Proposals such as capping the tax exclusion on employer-sponsored insurance, distributing age-based universal refundable tax credits to people without access to job-based health coverage, expanding tax-preferential health savings account contributions (HSAs), funding federally-administered high-risk pools, and relaxing regulations that prohibit insurance companies from effectively pricing their risk pools would have to be executed at the federal level. In the meantime, there are few policy changes states can take on themselves to help mitigate today's health care access issues. Eliminating Certificate of Need Laws, repealing state health coverage mandates, and expanding the scope of direct primary care are just a few examples.
Performance pay produces gains
A new study published by the U.S. Department of Education suggests that there is a relationship between performance pay and student test score gains.
In "Evaluation of the Teacher Incentive Fund: Implementation and Impacts of Pay-for-Performance After Three Years," researchers from Mathematica Policy Research examined the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF), a federal program that supported performance-pay compensation in high-need schools. The concluded,
Pay-for-performance had small, positive impacts on students' reading and math achievement. After three years of TIF implementation, average student achievement was 1 to 2 percentile points higher in schools that offered pay-for-performance bonuses than in schools that did not. This difference was equivalent to a gain of about four additional weeks of learning.
This is good news, but I still think that the recruitment and retention of high-quality teachers are more compelling reasons to support differentiated pay.
The most recent state budget included a number of performance- and incentive-based pilot programs for educators.
Media who actively support a double standard
Eddie Scarry of the Washington Examiner highlights members of the mainstream media who admit they want to hold Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to a different standard than Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Several media figures are actively lobbying their peers to challenge Donald Trump more aggressively when interviewing him or his surrogates, or even block Trump's campaign from gaining access to the press in some cases.
Trump's campaign has benefited from billions of dollars worth of earned media, and has put him in a position where he doesn't have to run campaign ads as much, and yet still competes. However, more and more media figures are mounting an effort to end Trump's free ride.
On Sunday, Jorge Ramos, anchor for the Spanish-language Univision, became the latest news figure to urge other journalists to take a more active approach on covering the Republican nominee. Ramos indicated that more reporters need to act the way he did last year, by challenging Trump loudly and aggressively.
"And I think in this case, neutrality is really not an option," Ramos said on CNN. "I think we have to take a stand, and in this case, Donald Trump is a unique figure in American politics. We haven't seen this in decades, since probability Senator Joe McCarthy." …
… But Ramos isn't alone. Last week, liberal New York Times columnist Charles Blow argued on CNN that a Trump supporter who had joined him for the segment should not have been booked to appear at all.
After Paris Dennard, a GOP former White House staffer, said Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is attempting to suppress white voter turnout by accusing of Trump of racism, Blow said that his appearance on the show "is why people have a problem with us in the media."
"To let somebody like this come on and say what Hillary Clinton is doing is suppressing the white vote by pointing out what Donald Trump has said in his life, that's just patently false, ridiculous. … I'm not letting that slide," he said. "This guy should not be allowed to come on television and say something like that."
Because the U.S. Navy doesn't have anything important to do
The U.S. Navy could be spending its time and resources preparing to protect the nation against possible naval threats. Morgan Chalfant of the Washington Free Beacon documents that, as an alternative, the Navy is focusing on a renewable energy boondoggle.
The U.S. Navy handed out a $334 million contract for solar power without having a good way to determine whether the project would be cost effective.
The Pentagon's inspector general recently audited three of the Navy's large-scale renewable energy projects at installations supervised by the U.S. Pacific Command, finding that federal employees tasked with carrying out cost-effectiveness assessments of these projects did not have the documentation to back up their calculations or conclusions.
The Navy has not provided "comprehensive guidance" for evaluating the cost effectiveness of the six large-scale renewable energy projects in the region, according to the inspector general report issued last week. The Pentagon and the Navy also do not have a "formal written definition" of cost effectiveness for large-scale renewable energy projects.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus made alternative energy a priority in 2009, directing the service to generate half of its total energy from alternative sources by 2020. In 2014, Mabus established an office to identify cost-effective projects for Navy installations to help achieve the service's energy goals.
Measures to determine the cost savings of these projects have been unreliable due to shortcomings in the Navy's guidance for evaluating the projects, according to the audit.
"Navy personnel could not support the assumptions and calculations made in their assessments because Navy guidance does not include specific steps for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of renewable energy projects and does not require that supporting documentation be maintained," the Pentagon inspector general wrote. "As a result, the Navy lacks assurance that cost-effectiveness assessments for its large-scale renewable energy projects are accurate, and that appropriate investments decisions are made."
A real threat of voter disenfranchisement
Kathryn Watson of the Daily Caller consults experts about the prospects for using technology to rig this fall's presidential election results.
Hacking November's presidential voting machines to ensure a win for either Republican nominee Donald Trump or Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would be "easy," cybersecurity experts claimed in a report released Monday.
America's outdated voting systems are about as secure as a home computer, and are run by election officials and poll workers with little digital technology expertise, creating the perfect environment for hackers to rig the election, according to the report, "Hacking The Elections Is Easy!" from cybersecurity think tank Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT).
"The United States e-voting system is so vulnerable that a small group of one or a few dedicated individuals could target a lynchpin district of a swing state, and sway the entire presidential election," the ICIT report said.
The vulnerability of the country's 9,000 voting jurisdictions is "an epidemic in our democracy," James Scott, ICIT senior fellow and co-author of the paper with ICIT researcher Drew Spaniel, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "They say your vote matters, but looking at this, how do you know?"
National Review editor tallies Obamacare's woes
Rich Lowry's latest column at National Review Online sets out a disappointing progress report for the Affordable Care Act.
For years, Obamacare supporters have been telling critics of the law to shut up and fall in line. Now, they are urging them to come to its rescue.
A key part of President Barack Obama's domestic legacy is sputtering so badly that even the law's boosters are admitting that the federal government needs to do more to prop it up. The Obamacare exchanges were supposed to enhance choices and hold down costs — and are doing neither. Abandoned by more and more insurers, the exchanges — once billed as robust "marketplaces" — are becoming pitiful shadows of themselves.
In most or all of states like Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Tennessee, probably only one insurer will offer insurance through the exchanges next year, reports the Wall Street Journal. One large county in Arizona may have no exchange insurer at all. An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that 31 percent of counties in the U.S. will have one insurer, and another 31 percent will have just two.
It isn't Republicans who are hobbling the law. It isn't the greedy insurance companies, which were over-optimistic about the exchanges at the outset and are now paying the price. It is fundamental economic forces that the law's architects blithely ignored. But economic incentives will not be mocked.
Trump and 270
Tim Alberta of National Review Online assesses the likelihood that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump can secure the 270 electoral votes he would need to win the election.
The question this Labor Day, then, isn't who has the pole position heading into the home stretch, but whether Donald Trump has any realistic path to defeating Hillary Clinton on November 8.
The answer, barring unforeseen and politically transcendent developments, is no.
To be sure, there are still major opportunities for Trump to score points at Clinton's expense, none more significant than the three presidential debates, the first of which is scheduled for September 26 at Hofstra University in New York. But even if he turned in a series of virtuoso performances that changed some voters' minds, Trump would still be hampered by the one thing he cannot change: the Electoral College.
Democrats entered 2016 with a decided advantage in the race to accumulate the 270 electoral votes (EVs) needed to win the White House. A bloc of 18 states, plus the District of Columbia, has voted Democratic in each of the past six presidential elections. Together, what political scientists call the " blue wall" comprises 242 EVs, meaning that Clinton needs to win only another 28 from any combination of competitive battleground states in order to secure the presidency.
Making the map (and math) even friendlier to Democrats is the fact that several long-time Republican strongholds — Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado — have drifted leftward over the past decade. All three were carried by Barack Obama in 2008, and only North Carolina was taken back (barely) by Mitt Romney in 2012. Virginia and Colorado together account for 22 electoral votes; Clinton is leading Trump in both states by vast margins. Those two victories would bring her within six electoral votes of the White House.
In other words, Trump has virtually no margin for error.

Ruben Israel has left the El Salvador national team to manage Libertad, according to various Paraguayan outlets.
The 56-year-old Israel had previously coached Libertad from 2007 to 2008. He had been the top man in El Salvador's coaching staff since April 2011.
Carlos Mendez, President of the El Salvador Football Federation (FESFUT) was questioned by 102.9 FM on the issue, admitting that he did not know the whereabouts of Israel and acknowledging that the federation was reviewing letters addressed to it from the Uruguayan manager.
"We haven't received an official letter of resignation," Mendez stated. "But, I can say that he is unhappy with certain labor conditions. [Ruben] is disheartened from other factors outside of the national team."
Canal 13 in Paraguay broke the report that Israel would manage Libertad on Sunday, tweeting that "Libertad have chosen a duo comprising Ruben Israel and Pedro Sarabia to manage the team after [Jorge] Burruchaga's exit."
Goal.com has learned that the El Salvador federation has called an emergency meeting to discuss the future of Israel's tenure with the national team, as well as a possible replacement.
