Umberto Robina
this wiki
Umberto Robina is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Umberto is the leader of the Cubans gang in both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Umberto Robina was voiced by Danny Trejo.
Early Life
Umberto was born in Cuba to Alberto Robina. At some point in his life, Umberto became the leader of\founded the Los Cabrones (later will be known as "the Cubans"), and later moved to Vice City, Florida, United States.
In 1984, as the leader of Cubans (Also known as Los Cabrones), he sends Victor Vance on missions to wipe out his most hated gang, The Cholos, which replaced the controversial Haitians in Vice City (The Haitians were removed from the game due to public backlash). Like his appearance in Vice City, Umberto is obsessed about how much "cojones" (referring to both the courage and the actual testicle size) his comrades usually have. Victor saves Umberto's father, Alberto Robina, from the Cholos in one of Robina's missions. Umberto, along with Phil Cassidy and two Cuban men, help Lance and Vic defend their businesses from assaults by the Mendez Brothers' henchmen in one of the last missions of the game. It is the only time that Umberto actually does "dirty work".
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Umberto Robina is still the leader of the Cubans in Vice City two years later, who has been involved in a long-term Vice City turf war with Haitians. He is an extremely macho man who wants to wage full scale war with the Haitians, however, he has never been personally implicated in a crime and his bravery has been questioned within Cuban circles. He is good friends with Tommy Vercetti and treats him as an equal. His quote on it: "Tommy, to us, you're Cuban". It is unknown what happens to Umberto in the end, but it is likely that the Cubans are allied with the Vercetti Gang because of Tommy's work for Umberto.

24-21 on a game winning 49 yard field goal by Mahoney that I will not be able to see because my heart will stop working should it come down to that.
30-28 ISU...My heart continues to take a toll!

That wouldn't be too intense. Miss it, keep playing.
How about a 23-21 win on a 57 yarder by Mahoney as time expires

28-20 Clones. I think this game actually looks a little like last year. We finally get a good start as thier youth shows, but we have to hold on for dear life as thier speed and talent becomes evident in the second half. Big play from Steele late in the game for the 4th TD.
As this week has gone on, I've felt less and less confident about ISU's ability to win this one, but I can't predict the Clones to lose -- it's just not right.
Clones 24, Horns 23
My wife has to call an ambulance because I clinically died 3 times in the 4th quarter.
I don't see us making more than one field goal this game, so if we make it early lets just go for the hail mary if the game is on the line instead of a 49/57 yarder unless we're tied. I'm going 24-20 Clones.

A new report from the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Council of Maine finds that climate change is causing species and habitats to shift faster than scientists anticipated. The report comes on the heels of President Obama's inaugural address targeting climate change as a priority. As Susan Sharon reports, the groups are hoping their findings will help spur action.
The effects of climate disruption on wildlife and marine species are being seen all over the Northeast and beyond. Some of the changes have been well-documented: for example, the massive die-off of lobsters in Long Island Sound in the late 90s.
Scientists say the likely culprit is higher temperatures combined with a big wind event. Lobstermen as far north as Rhode Island have also had to contend with a shell disease that has taken a dramatic toll on their fishery.
"About a third of the lobsters there are infected and show symptoms," says Dr. Rick Wahle, a research professor at the University of Maine who studies the marine environment. Speaking at a telephone news conference, he said when it comes to marine climate change impacts, lobsters are sort of like the canary in the coal mine.
While southern New England has seen the dramatic increase in lobster mortality, the Gulf of Maine has had record lobster harvests for the past 10 years. For Maine lobstermen, that's a side benefit of the warmer temperatures that coincide with a depletion of other groundfish species that typically prey on lobsters.
But Wahle says the picture isn't all rosy, with the northward movement of other lobster predators - "things like green crabs, black sea bass. We occasionally see some tropical fish moving in during the summer."
Wahle says how all this will play out in the future is the big question. What is now becoming clear is that climate change is having an effect on inland species too.
In New Hampshire, warmer temperatures have meant that black bears are not hibernating through the winter. Wildlife biologist Eric Orff says they're hitting bird feeders in December, January and February, something that was unheard of 20 years ago.
Last fall hunters in the Granite State harvested a record 808 bears. Orff says it's due, in part, to a lack of summer nuts and berries which makes the animals more vulnerable.
And then there's the dramatic seven-year drop in New Hampshire's moose population, "from about 7,500 moose to about 4,500 moose, which is a 40 percent decline," Orff says. "And our moose biologist basically attributes it to these warm winters and the explosion in tick numbers."
Orff says when there's a warm winter and a lack of snow cover, tick survival goes way up. That's because when female ticks drop off the animals in early spring, their eggs can't survive as well if there's snow on the ground. As a result, New Hampshire has been forced to reduce the number of moose hunting permits issued by about 60 percent over the past six years.
The report's author, climate scientist Dr. Amanda Staudt, says there's not much time to act since some of the changes to wildlife are happening two-to-three times faster than scientists anticipated just a few years ago. The report recommends cutting carbon pollution by 50 pecent by 2030, transitioning to cleaner sources of energy and promoting what it calls "climate-smart" approaches to conservation.

While it's hard to comprehend, experts are finding a link between the stress of the holidays and child abuse or neglect.
Local experts want parents to know there are people nearby to offer them a break or support.
Between unrealistic expectations and kids staying inside because of the cold, it can be too much to handle.
We know that snowy roads and busy shopping lines can add a lot of stress to the holiday rush.
Sometimes it's just too much for parents.
Last year in El Paso County, 10 children died due to abuse or neglect, four of those during the holiday season.
Something that's alarming for a Colorado Springs mother we spoke with. She tries to keep the focus on the fun.
"Just make every moment special. We love the holidays and baking and just doing all that stuff is special for the kids. That's what I try to do...if they're happy, we're happy," said Holly, mother of two.
Experts suggest parents have a plan in place, so when the stress comes, you have a way to combat it.
Sometimes it's best to avoid things you know are going to cause that stress.
"The only time I get really annoyed is when we have to go shopping and face the crowds. So we avoid that by going online, avoid the big rush," said Holly.
Local experts want parents to know there is free help in our own community.
You can call KPC Respite Center at 719-634-5439 24 hours a day, seven days a week for free relief care.
The Not One More Child Coalition (NOMC) reminds all of us:
-Parenting is hard; it's okay and normal to feel frustrated
-If you feel yourself becoming frustrated, set your baby down in a safe place and take a break. No baby was ever harmed from crying.
-Call a responsible, trusted friend or relative to come over and babysit to give you a break.
Local experts want parents to know there is help out there for when frustrations rise, and other ways to combat stress.
If you need a break and someone to watch for kids so you can get some rest, you can call to register your child beforehand so you can take a few hours for yourself.
"Everybody needs extra support," said Shannon Ferguson, a family advocate at KPC Respite Center and also part of NOMC. "The most important thing you can do for your children and for yourself is just to reach out and find that extra support."

May 2, 2016
Tallahassee, FL - Nine straight games. Florida State has had no breaks in between. But finally the Seminoles are on a bye week right before their road trip to Virginia Tech.
"We're still locked in to what we have to do," senior quarterback EJ Manuel said. "We have a game in seven days now, being that it is next Thursday. So we're not going to take too many days off mentally or physically."
With the extra preparation, the 'Noles are back to the basics.
"You don't forget about it but you have to refine them," junior defensive end Bjoern Werner said. "Sometimes you get so used to something that you kind of let slip away really from the 100 percent assignment."
But Head Coach Jimbo Fisher thinks the team's best medicine earlier this week was no football at all.
"The grind, the hours, the mentality. Just that...get your mind off of something for awhile, how much it refreshes you and brings you back," he said.

Police want everyone to be aware of counterfeit money, especially around this time of year.
They say crooks are taking a real $1 bill, washing it out and then imprinting a hundred dollar bill image on top of it.
Businesses use marking pens to assure the $100 bill is real but police say the pens will not pick up the fake bill because the actual paper is real.
Businesses should make visual inspections along with using the pen to insure accuracy.
If you receive a fake bill, you are asked to call Colorado Springs police right away.
That number is 444-7000 and if you want to remain anonymous,

Since the Democratic sweep of the Legislature last week, the new majority has been anxious to engage Republican Gov. Paul LePage in preparation for the upcoming session in January. But according to Democratic leaders, the governor has not shared that enthusiasm. Justin Alfond, the presumptive Senate president elect, says he has reached out twice to the governor, but to no avail. Meanwhile, LePage has declined interview requests from the media, and is becoming increasingly reliant on taped messages to communicate with Mainers. A.J. Higgins has more.
The day after the election, Gov. Paul LePage declined requests for his reaction to Democratic victories in both the Maine House and Senate, instead releasing an e-mail message stating he was willing to work with "those who will put Mainers first and won't allow the political rhetoric to continue."
LePage did make a public appearance at a Veterans Day event at the Maine Veterans Cemetery, which was captured by Kennebec Journal photographer Andy Molloy.
"Many of you have have fought together, the Democrat and Republicans -- the mean season is over and this monument today should remind us all that we're Americans," LePage said. "When John F. Kennedy once said, 'Ask not what you can do for your country -- but what your country can do for you,' which is just the opposite of what he said. And I say that that way, because the mean season is over."
State. Sen. John Patrick of Rumford, a long time member of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, was played the audio of the governor's remarks, and says he found them to be inappropriate for the setting.
"There's no place for trying to bait one party or the other," Patrick says. "I think what we've got to do is just focus on what is important -- veterans on Veterans Day, jobs, jobs, jobs for the people of the state of Maine when we get back to work."
LePage has given one interview to MPBN reporters in two years. And he has become increasing reliant on communicating with Mainers through pre-recorded statements. Last week, for the second time in two weeks, LePage released a video message -- this time a prepared statement to answer critics of his education policies.
State Sen. Justin Alfond, a Portland Democrat and the presumptive incoming president of Maine Senate, says he has tried twice to meet with LePage since Tuesday. "I will continue making phone calls to meetk with Gov. LePage -- I want to work with Gov, LePage," Alfond said.
LePage is attending the Republican Governor's Association conference this week in Las Vegas, but Republicans are urging him to stand firm on nearly $400 million in tax cuts that are scheduled to phase in next year.
Rep. Lance Harvell, a Farmington Republican, says that although Republicans suffered severe losses in the House and Senate, they cannot support Democratic calls to undo core GOP accomplishments. During a leadership vote, he told Republicans they owed that much to GOP lawmakers who had lost their elections.
"Any failure of us to surrender on these principles that they gave their political lives for is little more than treason," Harvel said.
State Rep. Mark Eves, the Berwick Democrat who is the presumptive next speaker of the House, said he will reach across the aisle to collaborate with Republicans -- but not if it means crafting bad legislation, which for Democrats, includes the LePage tax cuts.
"I think we're going to need to look at how we bring in our revenue and how we spend it," Eves says. "And I think the fact that that tax cut was not paid for, we need to reevaluate, reassess and then move forward."
The House and Senate will meet formally on Dec. 5 to elect constitutional officers, which include the secretary of state, state treasurer and state attorney general.

Hold Free Web Meetings and Help the Environment with New 'Plant-A-Tree with WebEx' Campaign
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 21, 2006—For the 36th annual Earth Day, WebEx has created an offer that is both good for business and the environment. WebEx (Nasdaq: WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand collaborative business applications, has partnered with nonprofit Carbonfund.org to launch WebEx for Clean Air, a series of programs to educate companies on corporate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and the roll web meetings can play in an intelligent CO2 reduction program.
The first part of this program is the launch of the "Plant-a-Tree with WebEx" campaign, an easy way to experience the business productivity benefits of web meetings while helping offset global carbon dioxide emissions. Users simply go to http://www.webex.com/go/zerocarbon, sign up for the special WebEx Meeting Center free trial, hold two business meetings and WebEx will plant a tree in their name through Carbonfund.org.
"By helping to reduce unnecessary travel associated with meetings, WebEx helps companies reduce their corporate carbon dioxide footprint and lower the overall cost of doing business," said Eric Carlson, president, Carbonfund.org. "Plant-a-Tree with WebEx is just one aspect of our WebEx for Clean Air partnership to help educate and encourage companies to become carbon-aware and pursue environmentally sound policies."
"We're cleaning the air, one meeting at a time," added Carlson.
WebEx meetings are a productive alternative to business travel which is a leading contributor to harmful carbon dioxide emissions. A person that flies just 30,000 miles a year puts more than 19,100 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Replacing even a small number of those trips with web meeting can dramatically reduce carbon dioxide emissions. For example:
· Using WebEx instead of one person flying from New York to London for a team meeting would save 2,690 pounds of carbon dioxide
· Using WebEx instead of two people traveling from Chicago to San Francisco for a sales presentation would save 4,696 pounds of carbon dioxide
· Using WebEx for a training session with 12 participants flying from Dallas to San Francisco would save 22,377 pounds of carbon dioxide
"There are 50,000 WebEx meetings on an average day, and if just 0.1% of those web meetings replaced a long haul flight, WebEx would save nearly 60 tons of CO2 from being created," said Rick Faulk, chief marketing officer, WebEx. "These days, good business practices need to be profitable and sustainable. WebEx helps companies improve their reach, lower the cost of doing business, and do their part to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and global warming."
"Plant-a-Tree with WebEx builds on the success we've had with a similar program in the United Kingdom where we've already planted more than 1,000 trees," added Faulk.

My beautiful new Black/Cardinal/Steel Smart Alec arrived on Thursday, along with a few pouches (because who can order JUST one item??). I felt the *need* to get one more thing in Solar Dyneema before it disappears forever, so I added that at the last minute. This will also be my first foray into the large OP world, but I think I'm going to like it.
Also, just for the record? YOU are the best, Katy! (When I placed my order online, I had requested Iberian Dyneema for my large clear OP, and added the comment "you guys are the best!", and when I opened the box, I was greeted with the postcard below; another reason why the TB crew is so awesome!)

Anthony Award nominations
The Anthony Awards are among the prestigious honors for mystery writers.
What makes these awards special is that they are voted on by fans.
Final voting will take place during Bouchercon 2009, the 40th Annual World Mystery Convention, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The winners will be announced at a gala awards ceremony on Saturday, October 17, at the Hilbert Circle Theatre.
Bouchercon, for those who have not heard of it, is the largest and one of the best conferences for mystery fans, readers and authors.
Last year's Bouchercon in Baltimore was revelation in excellent panels, energy and discussions. Since I have met the organizers of this year's event several times, I have high hopes for this conference.

About this set: The very popular 1975 Topps mini baseball set is one of the most colorful and visually appealing of all sets from the 1970s. Uniquely miniature in size and distributed in Michigan and California as a test issue mirroring its full-sized 1975 Topps counterpart, the set is filled with key rookies, HOFers and all-time greats, and is a real challenge to assemble in mint condition as most cards straight out of the pack suffer from poor centering and other printing or surface issue defects. The majority of the cards in my mini set were pulled by me from wax packs (with the occasional rack and cello pack) and self-submitted to PSA. I have always had a greater attachment to any mint or gem mint card I personally pulled from a pack and self-submitted to PSA and I am always looking for authentic unopened product from 1975 and other years from the 1970s. If anyone has a 1975 Topps mini baseball rack pack for sale, please feel free to contact me as I will pay strongly for any authentic examples!

It depends. There is a software forum and a thread with hundreds of apps listed, but you have to determine what will work best for you. I started with Fractal Mapper 8, but migrated to Gimp when I realized I "wanted" far more control over the final output. For some people, price is important, be that free only, low cost(for your definition of low cost), or "money is no object".. For others, a specific style is more important and some software is just plain better at producing a specific style than another.
Perhaps the best thing you can do is look around at the various maps here, find some you like, and then see what the artist used to make them to give you an idea. Personally, I use Gimp because it's free and runs on multiple platforms(linux specifically). There are some things it can't do(or at least not easily) though and for those things other software is better(I don't do those kinds of maps, so it's not important for me).

I love the style of this nursing cami. The black with polka dots plus the shirring is very cute and flattering. It looks great under a cardigan and can be work out in public without looking like a nursing cami. I like how it is also a little loose in the tummy area. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and it fits great over my belly, and I think I will like the extra room in the tummy area once I deliver. Nobody wants a tight restricting cami that shows off your post-baby tummy!
Love this little cami so much I've even worn it out with a little sweater or jacket over it. No one would ever guess that it doubles as sleepwear! Would love to see this top made in more colors, it is so flattering and that is a difficult thing to find post pregnancy.
Having nursed my first child past age 2 and now nursing my second baby, I really have tried every nursing tank top/cami I could find. This includes other Leading Lady Nursing Camis, Glamormom, Japanese Weekend, Top Secret. This is my favorite! I like the dual sling(this type of opening, rather than the side-breast, one-sided sling). I love the way the straps are done. I tried both the XL and 2X and both fit my very full bust very well and offer enough support, ease of access for baby and look great. I would purchase this exact cut/length/style in a variety of colors and get rid of all of my Glamourmom tanks, for sure! The other Leading Lady camis I have are too short and not as cute and have the same side-boob single sling and don't offer as much support or as nice of a shape and they are far too short, even though I'm only 5'1". Please make this style in more colors because I LOVE it. I also like the Polka Dot one with the stripes for all of the same reasons. Style of opening, length and cut. Also, on both of these, particularly the striped one, the straps REALLY stay put. More colors, pleeeeeaaaase!
This cami is great for nursing! It is very comfortable and has great support on top. The sling inside gives great support as well. Love how this tank fits on top as well as the bottom. It is not restrictive at the bottom which makes it flattering.
No questions asked yet, be the first!

Diptera & Siphonaptera
Diptera (Flies and Midges)
The collection comprises approximately 1,300,000 items of 27,000 species, including type samples relating to approximately 10,000 species descriptions. Around 1 million exhibits are dry preparations on pins. There are a few thousand additional permanent preparations embedded in a solid medium as well as numerous alcohol preparations, mainly Diptera from traps or larvae stages and Siphonaptera.
Largest Order in the Animal Kingdom
Diptera means "two wings". We normally speak of flies and midges. However, this dichotomy does not reflect natural groups. Diptera comprise 150,000 species, making them one of the species-richest orders in the animal kingdom. There are 10,000 species in Germany alone. Alongside the similarly varied hymenoptera, they are the most expansive order in Central Europe.
Main Collection with Focus on Europe
The Diptera collection has been looked after by its own curator since 1919. The bulk of the dried preparations have been added to the main collection. Its samples come from all parts of the world with the main contingent coming from Europe. The older parts of the collection contain many type specimens and are therefore the scientifically most valuable part of the collection.
Abundance of Types in Specialist CollectionsThe foundation of the Diptera collection was laid when the collections of Hermann Loew (1807-1879), Theodor Becker (1840-1928) and Oswald Duda (1869-1941) were brought together. The specialist collections of P. Lackschewitz (Tipulidae), E. Martini (Culicidae), S. J. Paramonow (Bombyliidae), M. P. Riedel (mainly Tipulidae and Tachinidae), E. Rübsaamen (Cecidomyiidae) and P. Stein (Muscoidea und Oestroidea) have significantly increased the value because of their high proportion of type specimens. The Muscoidea section alone contains type specimens of more than a thousand nominal species. The relevant data were published in type catalogues. All species have been recorded in card indexes. Some parts of the collection are currently undergoing digitalisation.

The early roots of the Italian fashion house Fendi can be traced back to 1918 when Adele Casagrande opened a modest little leather and fur shop in Rome. The Fendi name came into existence in 1925, when Adele marries Eduardo Fendi. Business was good for the newlyweds, and by 1932 they had opened a new and larger shop. With constant growth came wider recognition and the Fendi name soon spread and garnered fame beyond the boundaries of Rome. In 1980 Fendi entered the world of luxury watches, with aggressive and unique styles Fendi watches keep fashion forward.

Fendi Watches
Fendi is an Italian company that was founded in Rome in1925. The brand was founded by Eduardo and Adele Fendi in a tiny leather goods shop in Rome, Italy. They worked with private clients as they still do today as one of Italy's most important and influential fashion brands. Like many other Italian fashion lines producing luxury goods, the Fendi company is a family dynasty owing a great deal of its success to the strong blood links comprising an intrinsic part of the business. After the death of their father in 1954 Fendi Turned to the 5 children of Adele and Edoardo to run the business. In a time in which Italy struggled to cope with post-war reconstruction, is when the Fendi daughters bring in new ideas and fresh energy into the Fendi brand lifting it to its round the world popularity. Fendi is famous for its trademark "F" logo on which they put on both the bracelet and chronograph watches. This actually was the design that made Fendi watches famous and elegant timepieces from their inception. You will find a wide variety of Fendi watches on sale at Dexclusive.com

Quidditch World Cup
this wiki
The Quidditch World Cup (also called the World Cup or World Championship)[1] has been held every four years since 1473. The competition sees Quidditch teams representing countries around the world compete for the World Cup.
Recorded World Cups
14th century
Only European teams competed in the tournament.
This was the first ever Quidditch World Cup. Only European teams participated. The final was contested between Flanders and Transylvania. During the match, all 700 known fouls were committed (and several new ones subsequently created), including the Transfiguration of a Chaser into a polecat, the attempted decapitation of a Keeper with a broadsword, and the release of a hundred vampire bats from underneath the robes of the Transylvanian Captain.[2]
Known Participants
- Flanders (reached final)
- Transylvania (reached final)
15th century
Only European teams competed in the tournament.
16th century
Only European teams competed in the tournament.
17th century
Non-European teams compete in the tournament for the first time.[2]
20th century
Argentina and Brazil reached the quarter finals.[2]
Britain hosted the World Cup.[3]
The American National Quidditch team participated in the Quidditch World Cup. Maximus Brankovitch III was their captain and Seeker.
The U.S.A. paticipated in this year's World Cup. Brankovitch III was their captain again.[4] The final went on for five days.[5]
The 422nd World Cup was organised by the International Quidditch Association. Its official sponsors were Butterbeer, Pumpkin juice, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Nimbus 2001.[6]
Ireland flattened Peru in the semi-finals to set up a meeting with Bulgaria. The Bulgarians had won the last twelve Eastern European Championship and had a "rock solid defence". Ireland were another defensively strong team, but they also managed to score as many points as nearly every team in the World Cup.[6]
The British nations didn't fare well; England were beaten 390 to 10 by Transylvania, Scotland lost to Luxembourg, and Wales lost to Uganda.[7]
The stadium built for the 422nd World Cup took a Ministry of Magic task force a year to construct, and could hold one hundred thousand spectators.[6]
The 422nd Quidditch World Cup final was held on 22 August, 1994 in England, between Ireland and Bulgaria. Ludovic Bagman provided the match commentary. Ireland wore green robes with each player's name embroidered in silver on their back. They all flew Firebolt broomsticks and Leprechauns served as the team's mascots. Veela were Bulgaria's mascots and they played in robes of scarlet. Irish Chaser, Troy scored the first goal of the match. After another two Irish goals, Ivanova registered Bulgaria's opening score. Then Ireland's Seeker Aidan Lynch was fooled by Viktor Krum's Wronski Feint, but managed to continue play after the aid of some mediwizards. Fifteen minutes later Ireland had stretched their lead to 130-10, when their Chaser Mullet was fouled by the Bulgarian Keeper, Zograf, and was awarded a penalty. This led to anarchy, with another penalty being awarded to Ireland and referee Hassan Mostafa being distracted by the Veela. Quigley sent a Bludger towards Krum which broke his nose. Lynch then spotted the Snitch, but was beaten in the race for it by Krum. Despite this, Ireland still ran out the victors. The final score was 170-160. The Irish team performed a lap of honour before being presented with the Quidditch World Cup in the stadium's Top Box (Lynch had to be supported by Moran and Connolly).[8]
- Draco: "Granger, they're after Muggles. D'you want to be showing off your knickers in midair? Because if you do, hang around…they're moving this way, and it would give us all a laugh."
- Harry: "Hermione's a witch."
- Draco: "Have it your own way, Potter. If you think they can't spot a Mudblood, stay where you are."
- — Draco Malfoy taunting the trio during the Death Eater riot[src]
Shortly after the final match at the World Cup, a riot broke out as Death Eaters began attacking the tents of wizards and witches as well as a Muggle family. They levitated, tormented, and humiliated Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. Various Ministry officials such as Arthur Weasley tried to help the Muggles.
In the chaos that erupted, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley ended up wandering in the woods, where they ran into Draco Malfoy. He taunted them over the fact that the Death Eaters would target a Muggle-born like Hermione if they found her. Also during this time, Barty Crouch Jr. managed to break out of his father's Imperius Curse, steal Harry's wand, and cast Morsmordre. When the Death Eaters spotted the Dark Mark in the sky, they fled, something Lord Voldemort scorned them for upon his return in the following year.

- —The Quibbler headline.[src]
During the Death Eater regime over Britain in 1997-1998, the Quidditch World Cup was reportedly cancelled. This resulted in a number of death threats directed to the British Ministry of Magic.[9] It's unknown if after the Battle of Hogwarts, the de-corrupted Ministry (now led by Kingsley Shacklebolt) still managed to organise the World Cup in time.
- 1473 - Transylvania or Flanders
- 1994 - Ireland
- 1998 - Cancelled due to Death Eater regime over Britain
Behind the scenes
- The mathematics relating to the Quidditch World Cup are contradictory. If the Cup is held every four years and Harry is attending the 422nd match, it should have started in 310 rather than 1473. It is perhaps possible that early in the origins of the Cup, the competition was played more often than every four years. If this is the case, it seems that the Quidditch World Cup could possibly have been held annually until 1862 (the 389th World Cup), after which it was held every four years, correctly placing the 422nd Quidditch World Cup in 1994. But calculated correctly, beginning in 1473 and occurring every four years, the World Cup Harry attended should be the 131st, and it should have been held in the summer of 1993, before he began his third year at Hogwarts.
- Furthermore, in chapter 3 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Mrs. Weasley mentions in her letter to Harry that "Britain hasn't hosted the Cup for thirty years". Although the Cup is supposedly held every four years, thirty is not a multiple of four. It is possible that Mrs. Weasley is meaning thirty times in every fourth year or has rounded for simplicity.
- The Quidditch World Cup seems to corresponds to the Muggle Football World Cup, which takes place every four years, is hosted by a different nation at each occurrence, and has the best players from many countries participating in it. Furthermore, British nations frequently disappoint at this tournament, despite characteristic high hopes.
- A wizard (Archie) attendant at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup declined 'male-appropriate' attire- thus high-lighting gender-role rules in Muggle culture.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry appears to support Bulgaria; however, in the book, Harry, along with all the others, supports Ireland. Also, Ron appears to be wearing both colours (possibly as a split decision between the Irish "team" and the Bulgarian "Seeker")
- In the film adaptation, Fudge does the commentary instead of Bagman and Winky because their roles are omitted from the film version.
- The actual World Cup is not physically seen in the film adaptation of Goblet of Fire.

text: I've finished my artic. Amazing how long something so simple can take. Please take a look and see if it's ok. A couple of questions from the previous post apply, so if you can please take a look at those also, please let me know. I've been looking at other satellite maps, and it's kind of strange. Some have the continental shelf dark and some light. I went ahead and went with the light one, it seems a bit better looking. Rivers don't appear to be really showing up on the small versions.

LINCOLN, Neb. - Michigan State comes out of this unnerving 24-3 loss to Nebraska needing to find better ways to change up its passing attack, while also wondering whether they gave their ground game a fair chance to make enough of an impact.Basically, the offense stunk - and the Spartans will need to find some air freshener in time to navigate a manageable November schedule and put pressure back on Nebraska to win out if the Huskers want to win the Legends Division and play in the Big Ten Championship Game. Otherwise, the Spartans - despite this stench in Middle America - might rise again.But that stuff is weeks and miles ahead. The Spartans need to get back to work at cleaning up their play book and play calling before they can think about a divisional crown.You can rip Kirk Cousins for throwing 16 incompletions in his 27 pass attempts, but on most occasions he simply had no one open on those 16 unsuccessful pass plays - not to mention two or three coverage sacks.Spartan receivers credited Nebraska with playing good, smart, physical coverage. They might have wanted more flags for defensive holding and pass interference, but the officials were consistent in letting excessive contact go. All the more reason to saddle up and get the run game going, which the Spartans never thoroughly explored.Nebraska defensive backs said they knew what routes were coming, based on the formations and situations.Huskers head coach Bo Pelini credited his defensive backs with hitting the film room and preparing for an offense better than any time all year.And Nebraska All-America candidate cornerback Alfonzo Dennard said this game marked his first game of 100 percent health since enduring an early-season leg injury. All in time for a priming Nebraska defense to make a statement against Michigan State, which came into the game at 3-0 in the Big Ten and in first place in the Legends Division.Nebraska was coming off a vacation victory over Minnesota and a bye week of two weeks ago. They were fresh and determined. The Spartans were coming off a hard-hitting upset of No. 6 Wisconsin and a hateful defeat of in-state rival Michigan. They had plenty of reason for determination too, but they finished October on fumes.Michigan State's defense played well enough to win through most of the game. But midway through the second half, the Spartans were visibly slower and less physical on defense than they were two weeks ago against Michigan. This is partly due to the schedule they have played, and also due to the fact that they were sent back on the field too often and too early by the Michigan State offense. What Happened To The Passing Game?Cousins was 11-of-27 for just 86 yards and 1 interception. His longest completion went for just 20 yards.Nebraska's success was borne out of six ingredients:1. They set out to contain B.J. Cunningham, with extra help from the safety on his side of the field.2. Nebraska had an edge in stopping Cunningham and the other Spartan receivers due to a tremendous job of scheming and film study. 3. The Huskers had good, quick, athletic DBs to carry out the plan.4. Nebraska was able to apply pressure to the QB, mostly in the second half after the Spartans got into a pass-every-down predicament. Earlier, Cousins had time to throw- but no one was open. 5. Nebraska didn't have to commit a safety to stopping the run, not necessarily because the Huskers' front six and seven stuff the run, but partly because the Spartans didn't dedicate themselves to the ground game.6. Nebraska pass defenders had a hands-on approach, both during routes and often a split second before the ball arrived. They were sneaky effective with a little bit of holding here, some slight interference there, and usually without being flagged. "I felt that with how physical they were being that I needed to put the ball there, so we get some pass interference calls," Cousins said. "I felt like if we kept throwing the ball away, that we weren't going to get a flag. We really felt like they were playing physical and credit them that they never really got flagged and they won that battle."Nebraska was flagged for holding in the end zone on one occasion in the second quarter, setting up first-and-goal at the 8-yard line. But after losing yardage on an outside zone run and a pair of incompletions, the Spartans had to settle for a field goal and a 7-3 deficit.Wide receiver Keshawn Martin felt he was held on the third-and-goal pass play from the 11-yard line, and protested to the officials."I just felt like I got hold, and the ref didn't call it so I got a little upset, but it is what it is," he said. "I felt like I got held a couple of times but you can't do anything about it if the refs don't call it. You just have to move on to the next play."Breaking down some of the other ingredients:Stopping CunninghamNebraska played with two deep safeties most of the day, with one of them almost always on Cunningham patrol. "They were trying to really take B.J. out of the game, take his vertical out of the game," said Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell."They took the routes away from us downfield and doubled a bit with the safeties," Dantonio said. The two deep safeties were usually part of a zone coverage, whether it was cover-two or a quarters shell. They played some two-deep/man-under as well, but none of those x's and o's were as important as the wrinkle of having a safety or a slot-area linebacker sliding over near Cunningham to apply more help than he usually encounters. "Their corner was making him go inside at all times," Bell said. "Their safety was usually there too, about 15 yards off, like over top of him, making sure he couldn't beat them deep, so there was really no hole that Kirk could throw to him in. "They were bracketing him, putting two men on him to try to take him out of the game. I'd never seen anything like that, but I've never played with anybody as good as B.J. He was kind of frustrated at times, but he is going to learn from this and come back strong."Cunningham was not made available for comment after the game. "They took us out of some things," Dantonio said. "Nebraska played very well on the perimeter. Give Coach Pelini and his staff great credit. They shut down the things that we do well." 2. Huskers Knew The RoutesCunningham wasn't the only receiver who encountered tight coverage."They were right there with us," said Martin, who led MSU with 5 catches for 58 yards. "Downfield, they were everywhere. We did the plays we were supposed to run, but it just wasn't there.They had a good defensive game plan and there really wasn't anything we could do on offense today.""It's easy to defend a team when you know what they're doing," said Nebraska safety Austin Cassidy. "Judging by the formations they came out with and where their wide receivers were split or the down and distance, we knew exactly what was going to happen, and I think that showed today.""They jumped routes a lot," Martin said. "They definitely had our routes figured out."Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini credited it to a strong week of film study. "I thought they were locked in in practice," Pelini said. "I thought they took all the little tips, I thought they put their film time in. I thought they played like a mature group today. They challenged people and played with an attitude, and that's what you've got to do to play great defense."Nebraska was charged up to beat the team (MSU) that beat the team (Wisconsin). Nebraska's only loss this year was a 48-17 bruising at Wisconsin in the Big Ten opener on Oct. 1. The Spartans surged atop the Big Ten Legends Division standings with a 37-31 victory over those Badgers last weekend. The Huskers were in prove-your-manhood form, Saturday - or all week if you listen to Perlini."Well, the thing was - we prepared this week," Cassidy said. "When I ran off the field for the last time, Coach Bo grabbed me and said, 'Hey, that's what happens when you prepare the way you should every week.'"Apparently game prep hadn't been a strong point for the Huskers up to this point in the season. But it was this week, just in time for the Spartans' visit. Film study paid dividends on the game's first turnover when nickel back Lance Thorell stepped in front of Cunningham and intercepted a Cousins pass on third-and-five, ending MSU's opening drive. This set up Nebraska with a short field for a 25-yard TD drive and a 7-0 lead.Thorell knew MSU loved to look for Cunningham on the shallow crossing route in that situation, and that formation. Thorell made contact with Cunningham before the ball arrived, shouldering through him and aggressively to the ball for the theft. "Lance took the tips," Pelini said. "A lot of games like this, a lot of it comes down to will. That's a chance where two guys have a shot at the football, and he came away with it and made a big play."With safeties and sometimes a slot linebacker giving Cunningham extra attention, the Spartans might have had opportunities in the middle of the field for the tight end, especially between the safeties to the open middle. But the Spartans were never able to find the right formula."We made adjustments," Martin said. "You always make adjustments at halftime, but it just wasn't there for us."Michigan State tight end Dion Sims dropped a pass 17 yards down the field at the MSU 30-yard line when he snuck past coverage on the Spartans' third possession. After that drop, MSU went three-and-out and had to punt.On MSU's first pass attempt of the game, Cousins had Martin open streaking down the left sideline. Cousins looked right for his first read, and by the time he checked over to Martin and threw, the coverage had slid over and caught up to him, for an incompletion. MSU punted three plays later.No one knew at the time that those first-quarter openings would be two of the few play-making opportunities of the day for the Spartans."We just had a few too many missed opportunities," Cousins said, "and when you go on the road in the Big Ten against a good team like Nebraska, you can't miss out on opportunities that you had. We beat ourselves one too many times and it made it hard to come out of the hole.""If you're a Nebraska guy, you feel you played tremendously on defense; if you're a Michigan State guy, you thought we played awful," Dantonio said. "But somehwhere in between there, there are opportunities to make plays and we just didn't make them."Vacating The Run Too Early?Nebraska did not shut down Michigan State's run game. They especially did not shut down the Spartans' between-the-tackles run game.Bell averaged 4.8 yards per carry. Edwin Baker averaged 3.8 yards per carry. But they combined for only 22 attempts. Their averages were even better between the tackles on the 'power O' play and inside zone runs. But the Spartans vacated that success to go to the air, almost always with empty results. Oddly, Michigan State began the game with three physical run plays, gaining 6, 8 and 11 yards on a pair of 'powers' and an inside run out of a 3-WR set. It looked like a mission statement drive was under way.Then after the deep incompletion to Martin, Michigan State gained 5 more on an inside zone left. But after gaining 30 yards on three interior ground plays on four of their first five snaps of the game, the Spartans went to the air. MSU ran inside on consecutive plays only one other time in the remainder of the game. That was on MSU's first drive of the second half. By that time, the Spartans were down 17-3. MSU happened to gain 8 and 6 yards on a pair of 'power' runs on the first two plays of the second half. But then the Spartans went to the air with passes on five of their next six plays, leading to another punt. By the time the Spartans got the ball again, they were down 24-3 and the opportunity to saddle up the running game had passed them by."I definitely felt like the running game was working," Bell said. "We got down too far and we had to start passing the ball more. That's one thing that we have to get back to, make sure we stick to the run game, especially when it's being effective."Michigan State ball carriers gained 122 yards on 26 carries on the day, not counting losses of 21 on four sacks.MSU did not have success on outside zone plays or toss plays against Nebraska's quick pursuit. But inside, the Spartans were strong. "It went back and forth a little bit," Pelini said. "They knocked us off the ball a little bit, and I thought we wore them down (on defense) a little bit in the second half.""We were able to run the football," Dantonio said. "And then we came out in the second half and again we were able to sort of establish the run, but at some point, you have to throw it. Then you get behind the chains a little bit and the drive sort of fizzles out. "You're right, we did run it but when you have 53 plays and 200 yards of offense, you aren't going to win a game usually. I would agree with you, but the passing game they shut it down."The Spartans will do a thorough self-scout, analyze their tendencies and try to head into November with renewed sharpness. It's unclear whether a more direct approach to the run game would have changed the momentum of Saturday's game and given Michigan State a better chance at victory, but the Spartans headed back to East Lansing feeling they missed an opportunity to take a major step toward a Divisional crown."I'm kind of in shock," said senior safety Trenton Robinson. "It reminds me of last year versus Iowa," a game the Spartans lost, 37-6. "But we still have a chance to do what we want to do, we just have to bounce back. "We just have to continue to push forward and hope that Nebraska loses another game. But they are a good team and they had a good game plan."The Spartans must make sure opponents say the same about them in the four remaining games. ...More...

NORCROSS, Ga. -- Gwinnett County detectives are investigating a deadly shooting that happened in unincorporated Norcross early Sunday morning.
According to police, officers responded to a shooting around 4:15 a.m., on Phil Niekro Parkway near the Atlanta Golf Center. Police identified the victim as Malia Arianne Ross Robinson, 21. She was taken to a local hospital, and died from injuries.
Homicide detectives were called to the scene of the shooting. They determined that Ross was involved with a group of people who got in an argument with another group at the Liquid Ultra Lounge nightclub on Holcomb Bridge Road.
The quarrel ended, but once again started up at a local gas station. Then, Ross' group went to the location where the shooting happened on Phil Niekro Parkway, when the second group showed up.
Detectives said the dispute started for a third time, and multiple gunshots were sent from an unknown group member. Ross appeared to be hit by one shot.
Detectives believe this shooting is related to criminal street gang activity, and are continuing investigation. They have yet to make any arrests or charges.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact detectives at (770) 513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at (404) 557-8477.
