The tactics used by federal agents to befriend a young man professing jihadist sentiments — and to help him plot an attack on a military recruiting center in Catonsville — are becoming more common nationwide. But even as such cases raise questions about entrapment, legal experts say most defendants have a hard time convincing juries that they were unfairly targeted.
"Entrapment is a very difficult defense," University of Maryland law professor Michael Milleman said, a day after 21-year-old Antonio Martinez was accused of plotting to blow up the Armed Forces Career Center on Baltimore National Pike.

Rihanna spends Thanksgiving with Chris Brown in Berlin
Rihanna might have just completed her 777 Tour, but she has already headed back out of the country, and just in time for Thanksgiving. The 24-year-old "Diamonds" singer traveled back to Berlin on Nov. 21 and ended up meeting up with Chris Brown on Thursday.
"All alone in my big ole jet!!! See u soon lover," RiRi tweeted along with a picture of the inside of her private plane on Wednesday. She then tweeted on Thanksgiving, "#Berlin #CarpeDiem."
The "Carpe Diem" hashtag was in reference to Brown, who was performing in Berlin Thursday night as part of his Carpe Diem tour. The on-again couple (though they, of course, deny it) were photographed at Berlin's Adagio nightclub after the show, Us Weekly reports. When the magazine had asked Rihanna during her 777 Tour how she was spending the holidays, she said she was planning a "quiet" meal with "friends."
Meanwhile, the Associated Press is reporting that Brown has cancelled his planned Guyana concert after locals started protesting his 2009 assault of Rihanna.

Cullinan, South Africa — Music filled the air and children danced as the U.S. Air Forces in Europe rock band, Touch 'n Go, performed a concert for students and instructors of the De Beers PPC Cullinan Field Band in Cullinan, South Africa, on September 18.
This is the second year Touch 'n Go has visited the Field Band Foundation and worked with young adults aspiring to become musicians. The foundation is a life skills program that aims to teach young adults to be creative and work together, provides career guidance and discipline, and helps them to empower themselves.
"Last year those kids, this town and this organization left an imprint on me and the band that will last forever, and having the opportunity to see the kids and perform for them again is incredible," said Staff Sergeant Robert Browning, Touch 'n Go drummer.
Through their music, Touch 'n Go brought attention to the Field Band Foundation and the work they are doing in South Africa.
"If you look at our communities, we have a drug and HIV problem and we don't want the youth to grow up on these things," said Boy Boshiane, Field Band Foundation band coordinator.
Members of Touch 'n Go bring a positive outlook and serve as role models for children in the area.
"It is so easy to get caught up in negativity; hopefully we can leave a good, positive message through our music -- one the audience can relate to," Browning said.
The program encourages youth to make good decisions and helps them to be successful in life.
Touch 'n Go "attracts more kids to the program, and if parents see the band out there, more people will send their kids and we can change lives," said Moira Thomas, the Field Band Foundation's coordinator for Gauteng province.
The foundation has 22 bands throughout South African with more than 4,000 members.
This year, Touch 'n Go invited the local Cullinan Field Band's drumline on stage to accompany them. Working with professional musicians is significant for the students.
"It is important to us because the band encourages us musically, so we are happy to have them back," Boshiane said.
Both bands exchanged experiences, answered questions, gave advice and performed for each other, strengthening the relationship between the South African communities and the U.S. Air Force.

Walvis Bay — A suspected drug dealer was arrested last Thursday afternoon in Arandis for being in possession of crack cocaine with a street value of N$50 000.
The Deputy Commissioner of the Namibian police in the Erongo Region, Ottilie Kashuupulwa yesterday confirmed the suspected drug dealer's arrest.
Kashuupulwa yesterday told New Era that the suspect was travelling in a mini-bus from Windhoek to Swakopmund with the drugs at the time of his arrest.
According to Kashuupulwa, Nampol in conjunction with the Narraville neighbourhood watch group made the arrest while conducting a routine operation.
The suspect was allegedly found with 10 bullets of cocaine wrapped in plastic when the police stopped the mini-bus for a routine search. The suspect was expected to appear in the Swakopmund Regional Court on Friday.
His arrest follows shortly after the Namibian Police Regional Commander in the Erongo Region, Commissioner Samuel //Hoebeb declared war on drugs in the region.
During an interview last month with this newspaper //Hoebeb said the new drug squad is stronger than ever after the unit redeployed at least 70 percent of its members who were replaced with other police officers.
He singled out Swakopmund and the Narraville suburb of Walvis Bay as the main problem areas for Nampol in terms of drug smuggling and said Nampol will concentrate more on Swakopmund and Narraville.


text: The first set is just a small tweak on one of my favorite sets for Aynslie. I snagged the pvp mace from Netherstorm and switched up her gloves, used ToT bracers, and a ToT belt. The mace has always been a favorite model of mine, so I was happy to be able to use it. The second set was a spur of the moment set. I pretty much went to the AH to see what cheap chest pieces there were available, saw this one and went with it. I love the flexibility of cloth so much...I feel more limited with plate and it drives me crazy sometimes. I actually had another AH spur of the moment set, but it didn't last the rest of the night and I forgot to take pictures lol. :D

Kim Kardashian fertility issues to play out on 'Kourtney and Kim Take Miami'
Kim Kardashian and big sis Kourtney Kardashian visited the "Today" show to talk about Kim's growing baby bump, and how they have discussed breastfeeding each other's babies. Uh ... gross, right?
Along the way they plugged the new season of their reality show, "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami" and teased an infertility storyline for Kim. The girls' younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, has battled infertility publicly, but Kim's struggles were kept on the low until now.
"Khloe has been very open about her fertility issues and I think I was always really kind of quiet about mine, and I have similar issues," says the elder Kardashian. "So I think it's just such a blessing knowing my circumstances."
Kim says it was a happy surprise when "so many doctors were telling me one thing and then the opposite happens." So, basically what Kim is telling us is Kanye West has miracle sperm.
About her pregnancy, Kim says, "I think it's just such a blessing knowing my circumstances -- that you guys will all find out about."
Wait a minute -- a Kardashian airing a personal matter on reality TV and promoting it in a talk show interview? Shocking. Who's shocked?

Clemson will win 36-27
Originally written on Gamedayr | Last updated 10/19/13
Lee Corso dressed up like Florida State Seminoles mascot Chief Osceola. Clemson fan Bill Murray was not impressed and wrestled Corso to the ground.
More from Gamedayr:
2 Comments:
If Clemson is going to win this, they better stop playing like middle school girls, it's now 17-0 with Florida State ahead in the 1st. Maybe Bill Murray would like to try a stint at linebacker.

We offer more than 20 years of outstanding service
A color renovation in your office, lobby or plant can do wonders to revitalize your workplace. A fresh coat of paint, with its clean look and spotless coverage, can make just about any working environment look and feel like a brand new facility. It boosts morale, lifts spirits and impresses potential customers.
As experienced
interior painters
with small business certification, we have performed color applications and performance-coating projects on a variety of commercial properties:
Warehouses and storage facilities
Office buildings
Government agencies
Schools and churches
Shopping centers and plazas
Retail boutiques
Manufacturing and industrial facilities
Condominium and apartment complexes
If you have been looking for interior painters, pick up the phone and give us a call. Let us discuss your project, schedule your on-site estimate and discuss your goals and options.
Productivity is one of the biggest dilemmas that commercial property owners face when deciding to perform a color renovation project. We understand that losing a single day of sales or production can be more costly than the benefits of a fresh paint job. However, we always do our best to accommodate our clients' needs.
We synchronize our work schedules in a manner that allows our clients to keep their business day going, even while our work is under way
We make ourselves available to work outside of normal business hours
We can schedule your color renovation to be performed during a period of downtime
We always make it a point to keep our clients updated on our progress
We always seek our customers' approval before we consider any job done
Our interior painters in Roseville are trustworthy, respectful and efficient. Our reputation is based upon more than two decades of solid performance and customer satisfaction.
Each of our color renovation and commercial coating projects begins with a property inspection and an estimate. Our cost analyses are based on:
The size of the building to be painted or coated
The extent of the preparation that must be performed in order to get the interior surfaces prepared for color or coating applications
The type of color or coating that will be used
The amount of time it will take to get the project completed
As experienced interior painters, we know that you have options and we also know the protocols of the bidding process. Many contractors will attempt to underbid on a project simply to win a job, only to wind up petitioning their clients for additional funds. We don't work that way. What you bid is what you get.
The estimates that our interior painters provide are thorough and detailed. That is because we take every aspect of your project into consideration before we make our bid. The price we offer is the price you will pay. If you are looking for a team of tradesmen to perform a color renovation or coating application, call us today.
When it comes to making a good impression on workers and clients, there is no better and easier way to add visual appeal than a fresh coat of paint. It not only instills confidence, but also lets your clientele know that you care about what you do and the people that you serve.
For commercial interior painters, call 916-564-3700 today
We bring more than 20 years of outstanding service to every project we complete
When your looking for interior painters in Sacramento, Roseville, Granite Bay, Folsom, Woodland, Elk Grove, Rocklin, Davis or any surrounding areas, contact us for a free estimate.

text: (AP) A Wisconsin police chief who faces sexual assault and other charges has been found in south-central Nebraska. The Nebraska State Patrol says 29-year-old Shay Larson was taken into custody just after 1 a.m. Friday at a truck stop near the Elm Creek interchange on Interstate 80. Wisconsin authorities had passed along tips that Larson might be driving a semitrailer in the area. Nebraska troopers checked the truck stop and found a big rig with Wisconsin plates. The patrol says Larson was in the truck. He remains in the Buffalo County jail, awaiting extradition to Wisconsin. The patrol says Larson is chief in the village of Readstown, Wis. He's is charged in Vernon County with sexual assault, misconduct in public office, disorderly conduct and obstructing an officer.

Mena, AR Day trip
Took the wife and son to Mena over the weekend to ride Wolf Pen Gap. We had been there several times before so it was really a no brainer.
We drug the Airstream along for the weekend and stayed at the Shadow Mountain Campground just south of Mena. This turned out to be perfect. You can ride from the campground over to the trail head from there via the Forest Service roads. The ride Saturday was great for the family we were able to ride from the west end all the way out to the east end and all of the trails in between with little to no traffic between 0900 and noon. We had to skip the "most difficult" stuff that the wife and I usually ride with our son in tow. Still a great time even with the dusty heat.
As luck would have it the next day I got hooked up with a guy camping next to us that knew his way around the forest pretty good and this turned out to be an EPIC day of riding for me. His name is JD and he offers guided trips through the area south of Wolf Pen. We went out and rode for 4-5 hours on Forest Service roads, Single tracks, old logging tracks, and some tight double tracks. I got ride some really steep stuff, creek crossings, and just some wide open stuff.
I got hooked with him on Sunday so I guess that is why it was like a religious day of riding. Can't wait to get back and get some more of that.

Zoe Saldana To Nina Simone Fans: 'Give Me A Chance To Play Nina!'
Ever since it was announced that Zoe Saldana was taking over the lead spot from Mary J Blige to play Nina Simone in a biopic, there's been a lot of negative reactions. Blogs written, petitions signed, comments made, slander thrown. And the couple of pictures that surfaced with Zoe wearing a prosthetic nose piece and dark makeup didn't do much to stop it. But now Zoe Saldana is speaking out herself, pleading for Nina Simone fans to just let her try, according to The UK's Daily Express.
"If Elizabeth Taylor could play Cleopatra, if Diana Ross can play Billie Holiday, if Denzel Washington can play Malcolm (X) and Meryl Streep can play the Iron Lady (Margaret Thatcher)… the only thing I ask is to be given a chance to play Nina Simone.
"If at the end, you watch the movie and don't like it, then OK, but at least you saw it."
I feel her. I mean, there's a lot of actors who have portrayed people in movies that I necessarily wouldn't have agreed with so this isn't the first, nor is it the last. (I mean, Beyoncé Knowles as Etta James? Even Etta wasn't feeling it.) And Zoe has had a number of different types of roles over the years so it's not like it's not possible she'll pull it off. How do you feel about it? This Zoe should get a chance or is there no way for her to make this work?

Industry secretary Michael Heseltine will soon have a chance to give his views on technology and innovation. His ministry, the Department of Trade and Industry, is drawing up a shortlist of organisations that want to run trial schemes aimed at bridging the 'innovation gap' between industry and academia.
In March, the DTI invited commercial research organisations and higher education institutions to submit proposals for pilot schemes in which graduates would work towards a higher degree while undertaking industrial research. The move was a response to the report of the working group on innovation set up by John Fairclough, head of the Engineering Council. That report called for the creation of 'Faraday centres', based on the German Fraunhofer institutes ('British innovation, German style', New Scientist, 21 March).
The DTI, which intends to establish five trials, invited all universities and polytechnics in Britain and more than a hundred research organisations to submit ...

Results tagged ' Danny Duffy '
South Caravan visits Springdale
The South Caravan wrapped up with three stops on Monday. The first was in Springdale, Ark., home of the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals. Royals owner David Glass met with pitchers Bruce Chen, Danny Duffy and Will Smith before a luncheon, which was hosted by the Naturals and the Springdale Rotary. The program included Glass greeting the crowd of over 200. A Q&A session for the pitchers followed, with Chen providing several laughs. Fans were happy to see former Naturals Duffy and Smith, who helped the club to the 2010 Texas League title. We also noticed a Bruce Chen Northwest Arkansas jersey – a very rare item as the lefty made just one rehab start with the club!
Royals make series of roster moves
The Royals today announced several 40-man Major League roster moves. Following the moves, the Royals now have 40 players on the club's 40-man roster.
The club has reinstated left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy and right-handed pitcher Felipe Paulino from the 60-day Disabled List. Both pitchers underwent ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (Tommy John surgery) during the 2012 season: Duffy on his left elbow on June 13 and Paulino on his right elbow on July 3.
In addition, the club claimed right-handed pitcher Guillermo Moscoso on Outright Waivers from the Colorado Rockies and claimed catcher Brett Hayes on Outright Waivers from the Miami Marlins.
Leaving the Royals organization is right-handed pitcher Blake Wood, who was claimed on Outright Waivers by the Cleveland Indians.
Catcher Manuel Pina was assigned outright to Omaha while left-handed pitcher Tommy Hottovy, right-handed pitcher Jeremy Jeffress and outfielder Jason Bourgeois were designated for assignment.
The 28-year-old Moscoso (name is pronounced "jee-AIR-moh mahs-KOH-soh"), who will turn 29 on November 14, has pitched for parts of the past four seasons in the Majors with the Rangers (2009-10), Athletics (2011) and Rockies (2012). The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder made 23 appearances, including three starts, for Colorado last season and went 3-2 with a 6.12 ERA. His best season came in 2011 with Oakland when he compiled an 8-10 record with a 3.38 ERA in 23 games (21 starts), allowing three hits or fewer in eight starts. Born in Maracay, Venezuela, Moscoso was originally signed by the Detroit Tigers as a non-drafted free agent in 2003.
Hayes, 28, has worked as the Marlins backup catcher for parts of the past four seasons. In 39 games in 2012, he batted .202 with six doubles after hitting .231 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 64 contests in 2011. Known as a strong defensive catcher, Hayes has caught 19 of 74 attempted basestealers in his career (26%). The 6-foot, 201-pound right-handed hitter was the Marlins' second-round selection in the 2005 draft out of the University of Nevada. His father, Tim Hayes, was drafted by the Royals but never played professionally.
KC Close Up: Danny Duffy
On Saturday, we'll be 23 days away the official Spring Training report date for Royals pitchers and catchers! Number 23 for the Royals is Danny Duffy, an easy-going lefty from Lompoc, Calif. Danny made a lot of new fans on Royals Caravan and we had a chance to talk with him about his rookie year, the upcoming season, his favorite TV show and more. Be sure to follow Danny on Twitter (https://twitter.com/dduffkc23)!
Around the Horn: What have the past few days been like on Caravan?
Danny Duffy: It's been a lot of fun. I knew how much support we had – it has been nice to see first hand. There are a lot of neat people who have been supporting us for a long time – it's really appreciated by all of us.
ATH: You were taking some pictures as we rolled across the Flint Hills toward Wichita.
DD: Yeah, I've never seen anything like this from the ground.
ATH: What do you like about Kansas City?
DD: Everything. The barbeque…the people are friendly, the hospitality is second to none.
ATH: Talk about your offseason and preparation going into 2012.
DD: Almost everything outside of hanging out with my family has been baseball related. I've been trying to run as much as I can, do core work and put on some good weight. I'm just doing everything I can to be here Opening Day and help this team.
ATH: Did you travel at all?
DD: I went up to my family's cabin in the Sierras and hiked around a little bit. I don't get to go there in the summers anymore so it was nice to take advantage of a dry winter. Most of the time is spent hanging out with my family.
ATH: What are your goals for 2012?
DD: As a team, we want to make the playoffs. That's first and foremost. Personally, I want to be more pitch efficient. That will keep me at the level that I want to be at. I feel like I've done everything that I can this offseason to assure that my hard work is going to pay off. I'm excited to get out there and prove to everyone that I've been working really hard, as I'm sure the whole team has.
ATH: Talk about some of the highlights of last year.
DD: Getting to the big leagues is obviously a frontrunner…(along with) getting to know everyone on the team…I've always looked up to Gordo since I was drafted. We had never really talked too much before I came up. It's been cool to get to know him and his family…same with Hoch (Luke Hochevar), I've always really looked up to Hoch. I think my favorite part of the year was becoming good friends with people on this team. It's cool to be able to play on the same squad as them.
ATH: Who are some of your closest friends on the team?
DD: I can't really single one person out. Blake Wood…we're good buddies. Eric Hosmer is one of the realest people that I've ever met. Moustakas (a fellow Californian) – we go way back.
ATH: We've seen the Broncos tweets…what are some of your favorite teams?
DD: I think the Lakers are my favorite team, outside of the Royals. I had the opportunity to sit behind the bench this offseason. As corny as it may sound – I think watching Kobe and how hard he works has driven me. I've gone out running after Lakers games because I'm so hyped from watching Kobe. I like Fresno State – I've always been a fan in football.
ATH: You mentioned running and we've also seen that on Twitter. Is that something that you like to do on road trips?
DD: Yeah, I've always enjoyed running. Everybody has their way to wind down and shut the mind down. That's my way to cool off.
ATH: What's your favorite road city so far?
DD: I really enjoyed Arlington because it was so secluded. It was an amazing ballpark, we had a good time down there, hanging out and laying low.
ATH: Are you a video game player?
DD: No, I'm not into video games…but it will be cool to be on one this year. I will definitely check out the new MLB games.
ATH: Who was your favorite baseball player while you were growing up?
DD: Mike Piazza. I had a wall of 50 of his cards and was at his last game with the Dodgers. (Remembering the trade like it was yesterday)…They traded him to Florida (with Todd Zeile) for Bobby Bonilla, Gary Sheffield, Jim Eisenreich, Charles Johnson and Manuel Barrios. (ATH mentioned that Danny might meet Eisenreich at some point as the former Royals outfielder resides in the KC area.)
ATH: You mentioned Piazza's baseball cards. Have you seen any of your cards?
DD: I have seen a few, my Mom usually gets them as soon as they come out.
ATH: What's your favorite TV show?
DD: SportsCenter…other than that, I'm a big fan of Family Guy. I love Stewie for his sarcasm.
ATH: Yeah Stewie's the best…well Danny, thanks for the time and good luck in 2012!
DD: Thanks!
Touring Royals Country on Caravan
It has been a busy week at the office! Last week, ATH joined team representatives on Caravan visits to Cameron, St. Joseph and Maryville, Missouri, then on to Topeka and Wichita, Kansas. Hopefully you saw some of our pictures on Twitter @aroundthehornkc. Here's a recap of the Missouri tour:
Our journey began in Overland Park on the morning of January 15, where ATH met the bus and checked in with Ben Aken, Sr. Director of Community Relations. Ben thought the players and staff would want a hot breakfast – so off I went to pick something up. Once back, I took a seat on the bus behind Royals Hall of Famer John Mayberry and across from broadcaster Steve Stewart, who was joined by his son John (a.k.a. Little John on this trip).
The bus made a quick stop in downtown Kansas City to pick up designated hitter Billy Butler and pitcher Danny Duffy (pitcher Greg Holland was already aboard). We made our way through North Kansas City and on to Cameron (one hour north of KC), where our first stop was just off of I-35 at the Whistle Stop Cafe.
Steve Stewart introduced Butler, Duffy, Holland and Mayberry to the fine fans of Cameron. The line weaved its way through the store to the front table, where fans mingled with our Caravan crew and picked up autographs from our foursome. I visited with several season ticket holders while Aken and Stewart did radio interviews on KKWK, the Royals affiliate in Cameron.
Ben suggested that I take lunch orders for our traveling party of 10. One thing that I learned over two days was the easy-going nature of our three current players on the trip. I've known Billy since 2007 but I didn't spend much time around Danny or Greg last year. I took Danny's order and proceeded to Greg, who said he'd take the same. And for Billy? Anything…just order what Duffy and Holland were getting. Easy enough! The only problem was that the listed phone number for the sandwich shop was for a fax or modem. Time is critical on Caravan – you want to get to your next stop as a line of fans will be waiting. Luckily I found a ride to the sandwich shop and started our order.
The bus pulled up shortly thereafter and we were on our way to St. Joseph, 45 minutes to the west. I listened to stories from Big John Mayberry and John Stewart pointed out the town of Stewartsville to Steve. We rolled into St. Joe, where a long line was waiting at Hy-Vee. Once again, Steve Stewart did the introductions, this time over Hy-Vee's intercom! "Attention Hy-Vee shoppers…"
I handed out schedules to the fans in line before proceeding back to the autograph table. Our players and alumnus began walking the line in order for all of the fans to get autographs in our allotted time. I assisted Big John, a natural at these types of events. Once the autographs were complete, our current players met with the local media.
We climbed back onto the bus and kept tabs on the NFL playoffs while traveling north to Maryville. Our stop was at the Nodaway County Senior Center. Several fans approached me and talked of how much it meant for us to visit. This hits home with me as I grew up in a small town and usually made it to one big league game a year as a youth.
The sun was setting as we prepared to leave Maryville. With our stops complete, Billy, Danny, Greg and Big John posed for a picture next to the sign which advertised our stop. We had visited three different venues with a common theme: Fans who were very happy to see us and looking forward to the 2012 season. When I arrived home that night, I could think of only one thing…the thrill of doing it all again the next day!
Dayton Moore answers media questions about the draft, minor leagues
The 2010 June Draft begins on Monday. General Manager Dayton Moore talked to the media today about the draft and other topics.
Moore is looking for players with great character and players who fit a team atmosphere. He puts an added emphasis on players with past championship experience, either in college or high school. Ideally, Kansas City's first pick will eventually be able to blend in with the current group of prospects at Double-A.
Moore sees several players in this draft that will make an impact in the majors. However, he doesn't see as many premium position players as in some drafts.
A media member asked whether the draft will drop off after the first three picks (the Royals pick fourth). Moore says he sees how some see it that way, but every draft will be re-evaluated after three years and the picture can be very different. He sees that as the beauty and the challenge of baseball's draft – a 10th round pick could wind up with a better career than a first-round choice. He sees all 50 or so players that a team drafts as important, sighting Jarrod Dyson. The speedy former 50th round pick is now on Kansas City's 40-man roster.
Duffy's return
Reporters asked Moore about pitching prospect Danny Duffy, who recently returned to the organization after taking some time away from baseball. Moore hasn't spoken to Duffy and for now he will leave that to Assistant GM/Scouting and Player Development J.J. Picollo and Director of Minor League Operations Scott Sharp. He didn't know if Duffy would return originally after he left baseball in March, but he knew that the good relationship between the club and Duffy would help.
Moose and Hosmer
Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer are both leading their respecting leagues in hitting, with Moose entering the day first in the Texas League at .371 and Hosmer's .350 pacing the Carolina League. Moore says that the Royals are staying humble as an organization as far as their progress. He said that minor league hitting coordinator Jack Maloof is pleased with their development. As to whether they will be promoted, Moore said that the organization will re-assess that in a month, but neither is a currently a candidate to be on the Major League team by the end of 2010.
Yost's start
Moore likes the intense focus and clear beliefs of his new manager. While the two knew one another from Atlanta, they didn't have the manager-general manager relationship. Moore says that this particular aspect of their relationship is still evolving.
Danny Duffy reports to extended spring training
The Royals have announced that left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy has reported to extended spring training in Surprise, Ariz. The Royals have begun the process of assessing where Duffy is with regard to baseball activities before making a determination on his plans for his return to baseball.
The 21-year old Duffy, the Royals' third round selection in the 2007 Amateur Draft, announced on March 24 that he was taking a leave of absence from baseball.
Moustakas among latest Spring Training invites
The Royals have announced that left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy, third baseman Mike Moustakas, and outfielders David Lough and Derrick Robinson have been invited to Major League Spring Training in Surprise, Ariz. The four additional players bring the Royals' non-roster spring total to 24.
The 21-year old Duffy was a Carolina League All-Star in 2009 while pitching the entire season at the age of 20 for Wilmington (A Advanced). The 6-foot-3 left-hander went 9-3 with a 2.98 ERA in 24 starts for the Blue Rocks, striking out 125 and walking 41 in 126.2 innings. The Royals' third-round selection from 2007, who is 19-10 with a 2.49 ERA in his minor league career, resides in Lompoc, Calif.
Moustakas, 21, was the Wilmington Player of the Year in 2009 after earning the same award at Burlington (A) in 2008. The left-handed hitting third baseman batted .250 with 16 home runs and 86 RBI in 129 games for the Blue Rocks. Kansas City's first-round pick (second overall) in the 2007 Draft resides in Northridge, Calif.
The 23-year old Lough, honored last Thursday as the George Brett Minor League Hitter of the Year, led all Royals minor leaguers with a .325 combined batting average at Wilmington and Northwest Arkansas (AA) last season. The Clinton, Ohio resident was the Royals' 11th round pick in 2007 out of Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa.
Robinson, 22, will spend his second straight spring in Major League camp. The speedy centerfielder hit .239 and stole 69 bases in 92 attempts for Wilmington in 2009. Drafted in the fourth round in 2006, Robinson has 186 stolen bases to his credit in four minor league seasons, leading the Carolina League in each of the last two years.
Danny Duffy named to U.S. squad for Futures Game
Royals prospect Danny Duffy, currently a member of the Wilmington Blue Rocks, will play for the U.S. squad at the Futures Game, to be held on July 12 in St. Louis as part of Taco Bell All-Star Sunday. The game will be televised live on ESPN2 beginning at 1:00 p.m. CT.
Duffy, KC's second-round pick in 2007, is 6-2 with a 2.85 ERA this season. He ranks fourth in the Carolina League with 66 strikeouts. He pitched a scoreless inning at the California/Carolina League All-Star Game on Tuesday.
Current Royals John Buck, Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, Zack Greinke and Luke Hochevar have represented the U.S. squad in previous Futures Games. Buck was with the Houston organization when he played in the 2002 Futures Game. Butler took home MVP honors in 2006, becoming the second straight Royal to do so after Justin Huber won in 2005.
Catcher Miguel Olivo played for the World Team in 2000 while in the Oakland system and reliever Juan Cruz represented the World Team in 2001 while he was in the Cubs organization. Right-handed pitcher Julio Pimentel, currently on the 40-man roster, played for the World squad in last year's contest.
Congratulations to Danny on this honor and best of luck on July 12!
The Future: KC's Top Prospects
Baseball America highlighted the Royals today as they continue their team-by-team summaries of top prospects. Seven pitchers and three position players make up KC's Top 10. Five of the players were honored at the 2008 Futures Night (above). The future, both near and long-term, appears extremely bright.
New to the Top 10 are 2008 draft picks Eric Hosmer, Mike Montgomery, and Tim Melville, as well as right-handed pitcher Danny Gutierrez and slugging first baseman Kila Ka'aihue.
We've compiled a few notes on each prospect. ATH had the chance to speak about the rankings with Scott Sharp, Kansas City's Director of Minor League Operations. We've included his observations for some analysis you won't get anywhere else.
The power-hitting lefty (pictured at left) recovered from a slow start to lead the Midwest League with 22 home runs in 2008 as a 19-year old. Now 20, "Moose" became the first teenager to lead the Midwest League in homers since 1982.
Sharp note: "He has great power and ability with the bat. He'll likely start at Wilmington."
2. Eric Hosmer, 1B
KC's first-round selection in 2008 makes his BA debut at #2. The 19-year old also projects as the Best Hitter for Average. Hosmer spent the fall in the Arizona Instructional League.
Sharp note: "Similar to Mike, he can hit and has power. He played in three games last year so we want to see what he does in spring training before assigning him."
3. Dan Cortes, RHP
Cortes, acquired from the White Sox in the Mike MacDougal trade, continued to shine in 2008, becoming a regular season and postseason Texas League All-Star. Still just 21, he has been ironing out some issues in the Arizona Fall League, including trying to keep the ball down in the zone more often.
Sharp note: "He met every expectation last year. He will probably start in Double-A, but could begin in Triple-A, depending on how the Omaha roster shakes out."
4. Mike Montgomery, LHP
Montgomery, a supplemental pick in 2008, displayed great stuff as he held Arizona League opponents to a 1.69 ERA over 42.2 IP. The Royals plan to build the 19-year old's innings slowly, as they did last year with Danny Duffy (see below).
Sharp note: "He's a lefty with a good curveball. We'd like to see him in a full-season league. Most likely, he will start later in the year as health is paramount with our young pitchers."
5. Tim Melville, RHP
The 2008 fourth-round selection checks in at #5. Melville, who has yet to pitch in a game as a pro, spent the fall in the Arizona Instructional League and is 19 years old as well.
Sharp note: "He'll follow a similar path as Montgomery, though it will likely be in a short-season league. It would be unfair for him to start in a full-season league (since he didn't appear in 2008)."
6. Danny Duffy, LHP
Duffy, a May addition to the Burlington Bees, went 6-1 with a 0.99 ERA over his last 11 starts to earn Burlington Pitcher of the Year honors. He won't turn 20 until December 21.
Sharp note: "He proved himself at Burlington and will likely start at Wilmington. He has good mound presence and poise and can display three average Major League pitches."
7. Danny Gutierrez, RHP
Gutierrez, 21, has risen to the top 10 after being selected in the 33rd round out of high school in 2005. BA ranks him as having the best curveball and best control among Royals farmhands.
Sharp note: "He showcases a power fastball and curveball. Danny is a good competitor who should start at Wilmington."
8. Carlos Rosa, RHP
Rosa made his Major League debut in 2008 before finishing the year on the D.L. with a right elbow strain. The recent trades of Leo Nunez and Ramon Ramirez have left a gap in the K.C. bullpen. General Manager Dayton Moore mentioned the 24-year old as a candidate to fill one of those spots.
Sharp note: "Carlos will be in Major League camp but could begin the year at Triple-A. He's been working on a change up."
Ka'aihue's meteoric rise through the farm system didn't go unnoticed by Baseball America. Ka'aihue, 24, spent just a month in Omaha in 2008. He will likely start 2009 there as the Royals have several players battling for time at first base.
Sharp note: "He will likely start at Triple-A, but will be given every opportunity in Spring Training. He has power at his disposal but is also a good first baseman."
10. Blake Wood, RHP
KC's third-round pick in 2006 sits at #10 after being ranked #4 prior to 2008. This is mostly a sign of the Royals ever-increasing strength in the system. The 23-year old Wood split 2008 between high-A Wilmington and Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
Sharp note: "Blake has a power arm and a power curve. We see him starting at Double-A. He needs to get back to the way he started there."
The Future's now
Tonight is Futures' Night, which means Kansas City will get to take a peak at the future of the organization. With the team on a seven game roll, tonight is a great night to make it out to the stadium.
The Minor League Players of the Year will be on hand. We're going to have one last fireworks spectacular here at the "old" Kauffman Stadium, it's Buck Night and of course the Royals pit their surging brand of baseball against the first-place White Sox. Let's go Around the Horn…
The past few years the team has given Royals fans a glimpse of what is to come and not just with September call-ups (though it's been exciting seeing the successes of Ryan Shealy and Kila Ka'aihue and Devon Lowery this month). Futures' Night is that chance. Names like Mike Moustakas, Dan Cortes, Derrick Robinson, and Mike Montgomery are just a few of the players we've mentioned in this space who will be here to meet the fans.
But these players got a taste of what it means to be a Kansas City Royal earlier today. Some of the front office accompanied the players as they helped out at Harvesters and then toured the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The future of the Club then made its way to Kauffman to take in the Royals batting practice earlier this afternoon. It is important that these young players understand about the community they hope to play in and their short tour was designed to do just that. It's worked in the past.
Among some of the names you might recognize from the last few years, Mike Aviles has won Minor League Player of the Year for his respective team three times (2007 at Omaha, 2004 at Wilmington and 2003 at Surprise), including the title of 2007 Minor League Player of Year last season for the entire organization. In 2006, three players who've seen time in the Majors this season were given the award. Zack Greinke and Alex Gordon – two of the building blocks for the team – won Pitcher and Player of the Year at Wichita and Carlos Rosa, who had three strikeouts in three innings earlier this season, was the Burlington Pitcher of the Year.
Billy Butler joins Aviles as a two-time winner of the award. He also won at two different levels. At 18, he won the Idaho Falls Player of the Year and followed that performance with the honor at High Desert as a 19-year old.
Some of the lower-level award winners over the past couple of years are already starting to help the organization win. Luis Cota and Nick Van Stratten won the award for Burlington Pitcher of the Year (2005) and Arizona Player of the Year (2006), respectively. Both were key to the success of the Burlington Bees in their run to the Midwest League Championship.
Seven straight wins is the longest winning streak since 2003, when the Royals opened the season 9-0. The Royals are 8-2 over their last ten.
The team has clicked. Through the streak, the starter has won every game. They've bashed 12 homers and run their season win total to 69, matching their 2007 win total. With one more victory, they can secure their first 70-win season since going 83-79 in 2003.
After their last loss, a week ago in Cleveland, the Royals were 19 games back and eight behind Detroit. While they haven't shaved much off their deficit to the division-leading White Sox, they are just three behind the Tigers.
Manager Trey Hillman told the media today that the strong play will get a test tonight. Matching up against the White Sox, a team who is playing for the postseason, he said the Royals will see just how well they have been playing. He hopes that they can continue their run, but doesn't want to diminish what the Royals did in Cleveland. The Indians have been strong for most of the second half and Hillman's boys shut them down (with the exception of the eventual Cy Young winner Cliff Lee).
Hillman sees tonight as a chance to measure his team. He believes comparing his team to the rest of the division, his main competition, will give him an accurate read on where he sits. Chicago will bring a playoff atmosphere to the K and the Royals will need to stand up to the division leaders – "the pride of the division," – if they want a shot at not finishing in last place, which is a goal the manager thinks shows something.
Alberto Callaspo has hit in 12 straight, a career high…David DeJesus picked up his 70th RBI yesterday. DeJesus and Jose Guillen (95 RBI) are the first pair of Royals to knock in 70 or more runs in a season since Emil Brown (86) and Mike Sweeney (83) did it in 2005…DeJesus currently has a .402 average with runners in scoring position and is trying to become just the third Royal to end a season with a .400 RISP mark. Sweeney (.402 in 2002) and George Brett (.469 in 1980) are the only others to do it…Mark Teahen had two hits in the fourth inning yesterday, which was the first time a Royal had done that since Tony Pena, Jr. did it in the second versus St. Louis on June 14, 2007…The 500th strikeout of Zack Greinke's career was former Royal Raul Ibanez in the first inning yesterday.
Tonight is the final Buck Night and Fireworks Friday. But tomorrow has plenty for the fans as well. Stocking caps and "Shirts Off Their Backs" Night will highlight the rest of the weekend's promotions.
With the season coming to a close and Around the Horn running out of time, we here at ATH and the K want to again voice our deepest gratitude to you – the fan – for your support and for your patience with the renovation process. You will not be disappointed when we re-open on April 10, 2008 versus the Yankees.

Jeff Clark (surfer)
Jeff Clark (born March 26, 1957 in Redwood City, California[1]) is one of the most noteworthy and respected big-wave surfers, famous for surfing Mavericks alone for 15 years before it was widely discovered by the big-wave surfing community, although a number of longtime locals dispute this claim.
Born in Redwood City, Clark moved with his family to Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay when he was a young boy. He soon began surfing and seeking out bigger, stronger waves along the rugged Northern California coast. In the winter, Clark and his friends could see the large waves off Pillar Point breaking from the hillside of Half Moon Bay High School. After carefully studying the conditions, Clark paddled out at Maverick's at the age of 17, leaving behind his high school friend who declined the adventure and instead told Clark he would "call the Coast Guard and tell them where I last saw you."[2] He surfed Maverick's alone for the next 15 years before he could get others to surf it with him (although several would paddle out, none would take on the massive waves). Since then, his name has become linked to Maverick's for his dedication to the spot without wave models or water patrol. Additionally, Clark shaped his boards specifically for the conditions at Maverick's.
Clark is among the few ambidextrous big wave surfers in the world. Others in this category include Todd Smith and Andy Littenstall, who both also surf at Mavericks. A natural goofyfooter, Jeff spent ten years learning to ride regularfoot. This allowed him to ride frontside (facing the wave) when he started taking on the more dangerous right-breaking waves at Maverick's.
Labeled one of the "world's best big-wave riders" by Surfer Magazine in 1994, Clark, along with Maverick's and the Half Moon Bay surf scene, has been featured in such films as Riding Giants and Adventures in Wild California. He is the only surfer in the San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame.
Clark founded the annual Mavericks Surf Contest with surf clothing manufacturer Quiksilver in 1998 and later joined forces with Evolve Sports, a San Francisco-based sports marketing group, to form Mavericks Surf Ventures (MSV). In 2009, MSV took over the contest and Clark later resigned from the Board of Directors, thus cutting ties with MSV.
Clark is recognized as one of the premier big wave surfboard shapers in the country and shapes a full line of custom boards. He owns Mavericks Surf Shop in the Princeton Harbor neighborhood of Half Moon Bay, not far from the break. He sells his own line of clothing and surfboards at his shop.

Mitt Romney releases 2011 tax return
During the 20-year period, the Romneys paid an effective federal income tax rate of between 13.45 percent and 13.66 percent each year, trustee Malt wrote.
For last year, the Romneys claimed a deduction for $2.25 million of their $4.021 million in charitable contributions, Malt said. In the previous year, a large percentage of those contributions went to the Mormon Church.
They could have claimed a higher charitable deduction, Malt said, but the couple "limited their deductions of charitable contributions to conform to the governor's statement (n August, based on the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13 percent in income taxes in each of the last 10 years."
Romney told reporters in August that he's never paid less than 13 percent of his income in taxes during the past decade. He said that Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's claim to have heard that he paid no taxes in some years was "totally false."
The former Massachusetts governor, who would be among the richest presidents ever elected, is aggressively competing with Obama for the support of middle class voters.
Romney has estimated wealth of as much as $250 million. His tax rate of 14.1 percent is below that of many Americans because most of it flows from capital gains, which are taxed at 15 percent whereas the top marginal income tax rate now is 35 percent.
On average, middle-income families, those making from $50,000 to $75,000 a year, pay 12.8 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation.
Several tax law experts said Friday that Romney's newly released tax returns would not be much help in uncovering the most persistent mysteries of the candidate's sprawling finances - whether he used aggressive tax-deferral strategies, what are the specifics and tax advantages of his numerous offshore investments, what is the source of his massive retirement account and what are the details behind his now-closed $3 million Swiss bank account.
The analysts said those details could emerge only if Romney provided far more of his tax returns - including files dating back to his years at Bain Capital, the private firm he left in 2001.
Romney, who initially refused to disclose any tax returns, has drawn the line at providing only his 2010 and 2011 returns.
"The issue has never been Romney's 2011 tax return - in fact, it is a distraction to the real issues," said Edward D. Kleinbard, a law professor at the University of Southern California and former chief of staff of Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation. "All the important compliance and policy questions relating to Romney's personal tax matters relate to the past."
Only multiple returns would provide details about Romney's $100 million retirement account and how it grew, Kleinbard said.
He also earlier returns would be crucial in knowing how often he paid gift tax on family trusts. Joseph Bankman, a Stanford University law school professor and expert on tax law, said Friday, "It's the Bain years we'd really need to know to have a full assessment of his tax strategies."
Bankman said that the 2010 and 2011 returns "only raised these questions, but they can't provide real answers."

Due to Chinese dietary patterns and lower living standards, the routine consumption of dairy products is limited across the country. China is currently the third-largest dairy producer in the world, after India and the United States. However, per capita consumption of dairy products in China is less than one-quarter of the global average and lower than in many other developing countries. Moreover, dairy product consumption varies considerably across China. Consumption in rural regions is less than 10.0% of that in urban areas.
After strong and steady growth for more than a decade, China´s dairy industries were severely affected by the melamine scandal of September 2008, when melamine was found in infant formula and other milk products. This major incident led to

The Xperia S is the first phone from Sony's stable after the company-parted ways with Ericsson. It is also the first phone from the Japanese company to feature a dual-core processor, a 720p HD screen, 1GB of RAM and a stunning 12MP camera. While the Xperia S is no Galaxy S III, it is still a decent phone except that it runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. While Sony has promised that it will be updating the Xperia S to Ice Cream Sandwich in Q2 of 2012, the initial sales of the handset are surely going to be affected by the older version of Android.
Even though the Xperia S comes with Gingerbread, it comes with an updated version of Sony's OEM skin with some new additions like Smart Dialing, new Music Player, updated Timescape and Facebook integration and much more.
Now, an XDA member – Championswimmer – has managed to port the Xperia S firmware to Sony's first Android handset, the X10. Even though the Xperia S ROM is not intended for the X10, it works flawlessly and smoothly on the handset. Unlike the usual ports which contains some bugs or some broken hardware, the developer has made sure that every feature of the phone like Camera, Wi-Fi etc. are working out of the box.
The developer has also added some extra tweaks to the ROM including 6 toggle buttons in the status bar, xLoud, Bravia engine, root access and EDT tweaks.
Below is a quick run-down of all the features of the ROM -:
- New Music Player (with SensMe & Gracenote integration)
- New Timescape with All New SocialTimescape Widgets
- New Homescreen Widgets all from Xperia S
- Equaliser with Clear Bass and Clear Stereo 100% port
- New DLNA, PowerSaver
- Latest Bravia binaries
- New MMS app and New Prediction Dialler
- Latest Facebook integration with InfiniteView
- Latest Home app
- Latest widgets from Xperia S (weather, tools, clock) (i can't remember all)
- All other Xperia S apps (i can't remember all)
- Play Launcher
- Status Switch
- HomescreenWidgets
- Active Desk Clock
- 6 toggles in status bar
- init.d tweaks for smoothness and battery
- pure stock feeling (no extra fancy tweaks/features/apps)
- xloud&bravia
- autorooted with latest busybox+superuser
- Edt tweaks (to change clock colour,battery%,signal bars dbm in status bar)
Interested Xperia X10 owners can download the ROM, and find an installation guide over at this thread on XDA.

UCC stages a sit-in near the Presidential Palace in Baabda Monday Dec. 10, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Lebanon's Cabinet failed Monday to refer a new public sector salary scale to Parliament despite pressure from the Union Coordination Committee to resolve the issue without further delay.
Speaking to reporters following the Cabinet session, Labor Minister Salim Jreissati said ministers agreed not to separate the issue of the salary scale in principle and the means to fund it.
"As a result of discussions, the Cabinet decided against separating the issue of salary scare and its financial necessities because they make a unified package of measures," he said.
Finalizing the draft for the salary scale, Jreissati said, should be accompanied by "administrative and financial reform measures" that take into account people's interests and the basics of the national economy.
Jreissati also said that Cabinet will continue discussing means to secure funds for the public sector wage hike.
Earlier in the day, the UCC staged a sit-in near the Presidential Palace in Baabda, where ministers were meeting to discuss salary increase.
Protesters gathered on the road leading to Baabda Palace to protest against the Cabinet's failure to refer the draft law of the new wage scale to Parliament as President Michel Sleiman was convening the session.
The issue of the salary increase was on top of Monday's Cabinet session agenda as the UCC threatene4d to hold further strikes and protest movements if the bill is not adopted in Parliament.
"The UCC will call for a strike on Wednesday in the event the bill is not referred to Parliament during today's [Cabinet] session," the head of the Secondary Schools Teachers Association Hanna Gharib told the Kataeb-run Voice of Lebanon radio station Monday.
"The decision must be referred as an urgent draft law to Parliament and not through installments," Gharib said, referring to a suggestion by Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh that the wage hikes be funded in a number of installments over the next three to five years.
For his part, Nehmeh Mahfoud, the head of the Association of Private Schools Teachers, lashed out at Prime Minister Najib Mikati, accusing him of exerting pressure on the UCC through the country's Economic Committees.
"Mikati is using the Economic Committees to exert pressure on the UCC," Mahfoud, who also spoke to Voice of Lebanon, said.
Mahfoud added that officials had not contacted UCC representatives last week over their demands.
"No official has contacted us in the last couple of days to negotiate our demands," he said.
Prior to the session, Sleiman held a closed meeting with Mikati.
In late November the UCC staged a number of protests and general strikes, warning to take further steps in the event the Cabinet failed to meet their demands.
Mikati has repeatedly argued that the delay in referring the bill to Parliament is due to the lack of resources to fund the increase of salaries.
According to Mikati, the Cabinet is discussing means to fund the salaries before adopting the new wage scale.
However, the UCC accuses Mikati of manipulating teachers and procrastinating to avoid meeting their demands.

Additional Location Features
I picked up the rental bike in Orlando after flying in from the UK. Mindy dealt with me personally and within an hour I was on the road. My ride was a 2013 Road Glide Ultra, with 7 708 miles on the clock. Clean, shiny and looking like a brand new one. I'd rented a 96 Cu in Dyna previously but was very impressed by comparison with the Road Glide. Given the licence plate ended KC
I named her Kacey.
By the time I got to Portland Maine my bike was due it's 10 000 mile service. A quick call to Mindy confirmed it was not going to be easy given my schedule, the mileage and how busy workshops were in the New England area. Eventually, after some slight of hand, Mindy got me booked in at Adirondack Harley in Broadalbin New York. A big thanks to James and Charles at Adirondack, who juggled things round to get me in and out once Mindy had told them what my plans were.
Onwards to Chicago.
I traced route 66 as faithfully as I could all the way from Chicago to Los Angeles, (or Santa Monica to be precise). I crossed the central Plain, the Mojave, the San Bernardino range and finally got to the Pacific coast.
Dropping down into San Diego, I prepared for the return journey to Florida.
Again crossing the Sonoran desert, I saw the Mexican Border at El Paso, was propositioned by a young lady of dubious employment status, and almost drowned in the most severe downpour I have ever witnessed.
On returning to Orlando the 15 000 mile service was now due. In a couple of hours I was back on the road on the same immaculate machine I had rented 28 days earlier.
This trip which I undertook on my own had been 40 years a dream. Ever since I saw the Easy Rider movie as a kid. I would like to thank Eagle Rider at Orlando for helping to make the dream a reality.
So in summary, I dipped my toe in the Atlantic at Daytona Beach, and the Pacific at Santa Monica. In between, I explored New England, The lower of the Great Lakes, the central Plain, the vast emptiness of Texas, the mount
