Angstrom Graphics (Cleveland, OH) reaped double-digit sales growth in its digital printing business by altering its business development efforts. The company rewrote its marketing plan, separated its digital unit from its commercial litho printing operation, created a dedicated sales force to sell digital printing, and used its technology to demonstrate its offerings. These tactics resulted in a 35% combined growth rate over the past three years, with most of that growth occurring in the past 12 months. Nearly 30% of Angstrom Graphics' business is now from non-offset revenues.

|UN News Service, UNICEF reports rising trend of violence against children in strife-torn countries, 20 June 2008, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4860ae612.html [accessed 29 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports that child kidnappings are on the rise in several countries affected by violence including Haiti where more than 50 children have been abducted so far this year and are often carried out with impunity.
There have been cases of kidnapped children in Haiti being raped and tortured, and in some cases even murdered, the agency noted in a statement issued today.
Authorities in the small, impoverished nation suspect that criminal gangs in search of easy profits are responsible for many recent kidnappings. "Most of the perpetrators remain unpunished," UNICEF stated.
Earlier this month, the agency joined a national call across Haiti to halt the recent surge the number of child kidnappings. Over 50 children have been abducted in the first six months of this year, more than half of them girls.
The UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti (known as MINUSTAH) has been working with the national police force to dismantle criminal gangs wanted for kidnappings, murders and other crimes.
UNICEF also reports similar incidents in other countries, including the Central African Republic (CAR), where armed gangs have seized on the instability created by conflict to terrorize rural farms and communities, including by kidnapping children and holding them for ransom.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), thousands of children have been rounded up by armed groups and used as child soldiers or held in captivity as sexual slaves for extended periods of time, the agency notes.
Meanwhile, UNICEF has received reports that a growing number of children in Iraq have been recruited and used by militias and insurgent groups. "Girls are increasingly subject to murder, kidnapping and rape, or are being abducted and trafficked within or outside Iraq for sexual exploitation," it adds.
The agency stressed the need for concerted action to combat this growing problem, stating that "it is everyone's duty to ensure children are safe from harm, and governments have a responsibility to enact and enforce measures that provide a protective environment for all children."

Crime Watch
Future of the 1st Precinct remains uncertain
1 2 3 4 5 Next page >
Maureen Beccaris has been an officer in the Nassau County Police Department's 1st Precinct for 26 years, but for the past six months, she said, she came to work every day not knowing where she would be the next week. She explained that her office's supplies and papers were still in boxes, waiting to be moved to Seaford when the scheduled merger of the 1st and 7th precincts took place.
A reevaluation
"It was mostly the storm that put things in a different light and caused the county executive and the police commissioner to re-evaluate," he said. "The greatest storm the county has ever seen is just making us re-evaluate combining the 1st and the 7th and the location of those precincts."

This tag was accurate until the introduction of modifications that have, sensibly, lowered speeds. Since the beginning of the 1990s the measures taken to improve driver safety at Silverstone have, in fact, detracted from it a little.
The current circuit is semi-fast with lots of chicanes; it lacks the wide curves of the old Silverstone that could be negotiated flat out in sixth. One concession is that there are no slow, first-gear chicanes; indeed some curves – Maggots and Becketts – are tricky and bring out the best in drivers. On a technical level, the track remains a difficult one to race, mainly due to the number of fast curves it includes.
The curve at Stowe, for example, tests to the limit the mechanics of the car as well as driver ability. The right-hand Stowe, in fact, is a good overtaking point. Other stretches of the circuit also bring out the drivers' skill: one is the Club curve, taken under acceleration and using the whole of the track. Also demanding is Bridge, a blind right turn that leads into the 'Complex', a slow, mixed stretch modified in 1994 under the direction of Damon Hill.

What is a MarV®?
MarV®, which stands for "Multi-Angular Rotating Vector," was designed by Colorado based Physical Therapist, David Berman, MS, PT, COMT, CSCS, who wanted a more effective method of resistance exercise for his patients. Not only is it more comfortable, safe, and reliable--it is more effective. MarV Handles can be found in physical therapy clinics around the world, and now for the first time in the exercise market - on the SERIUS STRAP.
Why is the MarV Handle so valuable to you?
First and most importantly, it gives you a significantly better exercise result with less effort, and that's what you're after, isn't it?
MarV Handles on the SERIUS STRAP give you multiple, distinctly different, easy to use grip positions for each exercise. This allows you to choose the grip that's most comfortable, that will target the muscles you wish to target, reduce your body lean while maintaining the maximum resistance, and get more results in less time.
Channel Grip:
University studies show the MarV 3-Position Handle in the Channel Grip position, provides 30% more muscle activation than a traditional handle--that's a significant improvement! The Channel Grip position, a patent pending feature of the MarV Handle, also gives you a level of joint stabilization never offered before in an upper body resistance product. Now you get the most sought after benefits of core training in your upper body workouts.
Natural Grip:
When you use the Natural Grip position, you reduce the wrist's involvement in an exercise. This allows you to accurately target muscles in the forearm, bicep, and shoulder. You can also duplicate exercises you can do on the triceps ropes, cambered curl bars, and cambered grips on weight machines in the gym (cambered means the wrist is positioned at an angle instead of horizontal or thumb up).
Stirrup Grip:
You can choose the familiar Stirrup Grip for any of the exercises you can do on the SERIUS STRAP. While the handle is in the Stirrup grip position, you can manually rotate the handle to duplicate a Vertical or cambered grip quickly and easily. This feature is so cool, you're going to lo

Pacino as a faded music whiz charged with murder
NEW YORK Much to his surprise, Al Pacino learned that once upon a time he met the legendary music producer Phil Spector, whom he now plays in a new HBO film.
He had no memory of it, "but somebody showed me a picture of me and him on the Internet," Pacino laughs. "It was at some event or party, and we're both looking into the camera, two guys who do not want to be photographed. Since he had mostly worked behind the scenes, I didn't know who he was, and he looked like he didn't know who I was."
That was then, whenever that was. Now, spurring after-the-fact speculation, this forgotten encounter serves Pacino as a fitting first step into the character he captures for "Phil Spector." (It premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT.)
Written and directed by David Mamet, this penetrating film explores the preparation for Spector's murder defense: As the story begins in 2007, he stands accused of having forced a pistol into the mouth of a woman - his by-chance date for the night - and pulling the trigger.
The difficulties of the case seem beyond the wherewithal of Spector's original attorney (played by Jeffrey Tambor in a robust supporting performance), who has brought in hotshot lawyer Linda Kenney Baden (the splendid Helen Mirren). She takes over as lead attorney and, as the film unfolds, joins Spector in a verbal pas de deux that teems with Mamet's shrewd dialogue:
"Why do you have so many guns?" she inquires on her first visit to his sprawling castle home near Los Angeles, where the shooting took place.
"I might need one," he replies.
"Why would you need more than one?"
"How many shoes do you have?" he poses. "How many feet?"
Spector is gnomish, unstable and grandiose: "Extraordinary accomplishments," he says, meaning his own, "transform the grateful into an audience - and the envious into a mob."
So he's a problem for his lawyers. He says he didn't kill the girl, but who's going to believe him?
His lawyers know that, in the mind of the modern-day public, he is not the music wizard who created the girl-group sound in the early 1960s, co-wrote "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" for the Righteous Brothers, and produced records for the Ramones and the Beatles. Instead, by 2007, he's generally regarded as a creepy, homicidal has-been who hides out with his dozens of guns and his dozens of outlandish wigs - a pint-sized wacko too big for his britches.
As Mamet portrays it, that's the lofty challenge facing Spector's legal team.
But "Phil Spector" makes no claim to uncovering the true facts of the crime, or of Spector's guilt or innocence. Quite the opposite. The film opens with a flat-out disclaimer that it's NOT "based on a true story," that it's a work of fiction "inspired by actual persons in a trial," but unconcerned with depicting those actual persons or the case.
"That's why it's set in trial preparation," says Pacino. "We weren't there. No one knows what happened in the trial preparation." Or no one, anyway, who will talk about it. Which makes the inside story ripe for invention by Mamet, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer whose many works include the play "Speed-the-Plow" and screenplays for "The Verdict," "The Untouchables" and "Wag the Dog."
"Here's the thing," explains Mamet by phone from Los Angeles. "I'm a gag writer. That's how I make my living. I don't want the audience saying, `That's the most accurate thing I ever saw in my life.' That's what we have dictionaries for."
But there are a few inarguable truths about Spector. One is that in 2009, he was convicted of second-degree murder and, at age 68, sentenced to 19 years to life.

|Head Coach
|2014-15 is his 17th season at UCSB.
|269-210 (16 years)
2014-15 will be Bob Williams' 17th season at UC Santa Barbara. He is the longest tenured coach on the west coast and he is tied for the longest tenure (Rick Barnes of Texas and Stew Morrill of Utah State) west of the Mississippi.
In 2013-14, Williams guided UCSB to a 21-9 overall record and a 12-4 mark in the Big West. The 10-win improvement over the previous season was the third largest in NCAA and it was the fifth time that a Williams-led Gaucho team won 20 games. In the history of the program, that feat has been achieved 11 times.
Williams' 2012-13 Gauchos battled through an injury-riddled 11-20 season, but the team closed the regular season on a three-game winning streak and then lost a heartbreaker in the Big West Tournament to the eventual champion, Pacific
In 2011-12, Williams became UCSB's all-time leader in coaching victories when, on January 2, 2012, his team defeated Cal Poly, 58-57. With the win over the Mustangs, Williams passed Jerry Pimm to seize the top spot on the list. The Gauchos ended the season with a 20-11 overall record. Williams now has 269 career victories.
2011-12 marked the fourth time that a Williams-coached team won 20 or more games. Overall, Gaucho teams have done so 10 times. Following the season, UCSB was invited to play in the College Insider Tournament, giving the team three straight postseason appearances and four in five years (2 NCAA, 1 NIT and 1 CIT).
In 2010-11, Williams guided the Gauchos to their second straight Big West Tournament championship and, as a result, their second straight NCAA Tournament berth. It marked the third NCAA Tournament bid under Williams, the fifth overall for the school and it was the first time the program had gone to the tourney in consecutive seasons. In his 14 years, UCSB has won four regular season league titles, three tournament titles and advanced to six post-seasons.
On Feb. 5, 2011, he recorded his 400th career win when his team defeated UC Davis in overtime, 93-86. In 2009-10, he guided the Gauchos to a 20-10 overall record, a Big West regular season championship, their second Big West Tournament title, and an NCAA Tournament berth. Following the season, Williams was named Big West Coach of the Year for the third time. It was the third time a Williams-coached Gaucho team had won 20 or more games.
In 2008-09, Williams coached the Gauchos to a 16-15 overall record and an 8-8 mark in the Big West Conference. The record, however, doesn't tell the entire story. UCSB was forced to overcome a myriad of injuries and at one point stood at 8-13 overall and 2-7 in league play.
In 2007-08, Williams led the Gauchos to a 23-9 overall record. The 23 wins were a school record, and UCSB also won its second Big West regular season title with a 12-4 conference record. Following the campaign, the Gauchos were awarded a bid to the National Invitation Tournament. It was the third time that a Williams team advanced to postseason play.
The 2002 Gauchos won the school's first Big West Tournament title, advancing to the NCAA Tournament, and in 2003, they won the league's regular season title and played in the NIT.
In 1998-99, Williams took over a UCSB program that had not recorded a winning season in five years, and after seeing his team lose its first eight games that year - extending a two-season losing streak to 16 straight games - the Gauchos turned things around, winning 15 of their final 20 games and finishing on top in the Big West's Western Division.
Williams has a UCSB record of 269-210. The 269 wins are the most in school history. He has guided the program to 13 winning seasons in his first 16 years – including eight of the last nine – and five 20 win seasons. He has a career record of 159-103 in Big West games and his .607 winning percentage in league games is one of the highest among the league's active coaches.
Prior to his arrival at UCSB, Williams spent eight years at UC Davis and in those eight years, his teams recorded 20 or more wins five times and a 158-76 record. In Williams' final season, the Aggies went 31-2, won the NCAA Division II National Championship and he was named NABC Division II Coach of the Year. Including two seasons at Menlo College, Williams has an overall career record of 458-310 (.597) at four-year schools.

Armand Crespo Named PCC Track And Field Head Coach
Armand Crespo, the school's long-time cross country head coach, was selected to direct the Pasadena City College men's and women's track and field teams for the 2014-2015 school year, effective immediately. Crespo is now head coach for four of the PCC's 16 intercollegiate athletics program.
"Several programs in the state have built symmetry between cross county in the fall and track and field in the spring by having one leader," said PCC Athletic Director Tony Barbone of the coaching move. "Armand has been loyal to the college for years and has been involved heavily in track and field in previous seasons. He basically helped coordinate the community college events for the Pasadena Games earlier this year. I'm confident he will have enough time to recruit and build an assistant coaching staff for the 2015 track season."
Crespo is in his second tour of duty as Lancers head coach in track and field, serving that role from 2008-2010. From 2011-14, he served as an assistant coach in charge of the distance runners. In all, Crespo will be in his 14th season involved in PCC's track and field program.
Crespo ran both cross country and track and field at PCC from 1986-88. He then served as an assistant coach in charge of distance running from 1994-2000 for the Lancers' track and field teams. He was an assistant to both retired men's coach Jesse Gomez and former women's coach Grace Apiafi. He is entering his eighth season as head coach of the cross country program.
Crespo said he is actively in the process of building an assistant coaching squad that will include a sprints coach and throwing coach. Another long-time assistant Pat Williams is expected to continue as the Lancers' jumps coach.

Engineers for a Day
More than 380 middle-school girls became engineers for the day during the Society of Women Engineers' (SWE) Invent It. Build It. event, a hands-on program that provides girls with unique opportunities to learn about the engineering profession. Aspiring adolescent engineers gathered on Oct. 26, alongside female professional engineers, at the Baltimore Convention Center to participate in interactive activities that included creating spacecraft models with shock-absorbing systems and building electric dance pads.
In partnership with the ExxonMobil Foundation, Girl Scouts of Central Maryland and WGBH-TV's "Design Squad Nation", Invent It. Build It. highlights the positive impact engineers have on society in order to capture girls' interest in pursuing the engineering profession.
In 2012, the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee reported a labor-force shortage of skilled workers in science and technology fields and that the demand for workers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields is projected to continue rising in the future. The committee also emphasized the increasing need for more women to develop STEM skills and pursue careers in related fields, especially in engineering where only 14 percent of engineers are women.
"SWE is committed to reaching girls who have an interest in math and science and showing them the diverse and rewarding opportunities an engineering career can offer them," said Stacey Delvecchio, president of the Society of Women Engineers. "Engineering provides an avenue to use one's talent, ingenuity and problem-solving skills to give back and impact lives whether it's through the creation of an efficient, low-cost water filter that provides clean water to third-world countries or the next iPhone."
The activities, coordinated by representatives of the Emmy-winning television series "Design Squad Nation", are designed to strengthen students' critical-thinking skills while also demonstrating the fun, hands-on applications of math and science.
Invent It. Build It. marked the culmination of SWE's annual conference in Baltimore, which featured an industry-focused career fair, workshops and panel discussions. Similar Invent It. Build It. events have been held in Orlando (2010), Chicago (2011) and Houston (2012)

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - 2012 was supposed to be the year Toronto FC
finally rose from the doldrums of MLS to make its first-ever appearance in the
But, perhaps in classic TFC fashion, the club floundered spectacularly and did
not earn a win in league play until a 1-0 victory over Philadelphia Union on
May 26.
The Reds finished with season in the basement of the Eastern Conference with
just five victories and 23 total points. Coming off such a poor campaign,
Toronto went for the overhaul again, making numerous changes to the roster, as
well as changes in the manager's office and the front office.
Toronto began its newest attempt to change the losing culture surrounding the
club in November 2012 by appointing Kevin Payne as president and general
Payne spent 17 seasons with D.C. United turning them into the most successful
club in U.S., professional soccer history.
"I am very proud and excited to be joining Toronto FC," Payne said at his
introductory press conference. "Toronto is a great soccer market with
passionate fans and world-class facilities. The club has a great ownership
team who are committed to winning and providing all the necessary resources to
do so."
With Payne on board, then-manager Paul Mariner was relieved of his duties and
the club made what is probably the most bizarre coaching hire in soccer
On January 8, Toronto FC hired then-current Queens Park Rangers defender and
New Zealand international Ryan Nelsen as its next head coach.
Payne and Nelsen have a history, as the 35-year-old played four seasons for
Payne at D.C. United, where he captained the side to its fourth MLS Cup title
in 2004.
But hiring an active player to be your head coach? Certainly a strange move
for a franchise desperately searching for an identity. But in the end,
Nelsen's leadership qualities on and off the pitch won him the job.
"Ryan has better leadership qualities than any professional athlete I have
ever been around," Payne said of his new man in charge. "I always thought Ryan
would end up becoming an outstanding head coach some day when he was done
With the new management pieces in place, the pair turned their attention to
the roster. Joao Plata was traded to Real Salt Lake and Eric Hassli was
shipped to FC Dallas.
Goalkeeper Milos Kocic and forward Ryan Johnson were traded to the Portland
Timbers and then Payne and Nelsen went to work putting together their desired
In return from Portland, the Reds received goalkeeper Joe Bendik to back up
Stefan Frei, and then won a weighted lottery among six MLS teams to acquire
defender Gale Agbossoumonde.
The club also signed former Sporting Kansas City midfielder Julio Cesar and
acquired forward Justin Braun in a trade with Real Salt Lake. Canadian
international Kyle Bekker was selected in the SuperDraft and veteran defender
Danny Califf was taken in stage 2 of the MLS re-entry draft.
Toronto does have a bit of star power with midfielder Torsten Frings and
forward Danny Koevermans returning to the fold. Koevermans, however, will
likely not be ready for the start of the season due to a torn ACL he suffered
in July, and Frings is coming off hip surgery, but is expected to be ready
for the start of the season.
With Koevermans out of commission for a while, the scoring load will fall on
the shoulders of Braun, who should relish a fresh start with TFC after
recording zero goals in 2012 with Real Salt Lake and the Montreal Impact, and
attacking midfielder Luis Silva.
Silva scored five goals and added five assists last season in 30 appearances
and could be poised for a breakout campaign in his sophomore season.
The biggest question for Toronto FC this season under the new regime
will be how quickly Payne and Nelsen's reconstructed roster can jell and start
to create a culture of winning within the club.
The good news for TFC? There's only one way to go from here.
2012 IN REVIEW: Toronto FC stumbled out of the gate, going winless in their
first nine league matches and never recovered from the incredibly poor start.
The Reds finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with just five wins
and 23 points, well out of playoff position.
ACQUISITIONS: Justin Braun (F), Joe Bendik (GK), Danny Califf (D), Julio Cesar
(M), Gale Agbossoumonde (D), Kyle Bekker (M).
LOSSES: Milos Kocic (GK), Eric Hassli (F), Ryan Johnson (F), Joao Plata (F),
Eric Avila (M).
OUTLOOK: Questions linger about whether Nelsen is the right man to guide the
rebuilding effort, and Califf and Agbossoumonde should help stabilize a shaky
backline that allowed a league-high 62 goals last campaign -- 16 of which came
in the final 15 minutes of action. Payne and Nelsen certainly have a difficult
task at hand in trying to change the culture of the team and breaking the
lengthy postseason drought is highly unlikely in 2013.

Those other packs are good too.. I am not saying they are not. But there is a difference in a Hiker and a Hunter. We treat stuff differently, we have different needs, different expectations. Just a fact. The elbers, kifaru, Kuius, are used and abused by lots of people. I personally have chosen a Kifaru pack. Why? Because during my research had the opportunity to look at a lot side by side. And I know for a fact that the small group of people that design those packs also use them and abuse them on a VERY regular basis and make improvements on what they find and what the users/customers say.. Other vendors do this too... so not trying to slight anyone.
So that is the difference in the Hunting specific packs and the general hiking pack.. functionality response to a specific market.. Will the general packs work.. YES... Will the highend hunting packs work better? YES...... So you just have to decide what you want.
So I guess the point of that statement was to just let people know not to count out regular multiday backpacking packs. I didn't mean to offend any Kifaru/Kuiu/Eberlestock users. They are just as rugged and tough multiday hunting packs and generally cheaper.
However, they aren't specialized like a hunting pack. You won't find REI making a bow or rifle scabbard sewn in. To pack out I just put my clothes/camp gear in a black garbage bag and that keeps them blood free once the blood soaks through the game bags.
Depending on the hunt I also use a decent plastic sled (I mentioned this in another thread) when backpacking and hunt from a base camp. I leave the sled at camp and hike back to grab it. Makes it nice to get that buck out in one load, works just fine in dry trail conditions, and takes some weight off your back.
There are some recreational backpacking packs that may do alright as a hunting pack, but as the other said, they aren't made for hunting. I am glad your osprey is working for you. I can assure you it was not made for hauling "pack-out" type loads (120 lb. plus). If you don't believe me, call Osprey and ask them what loads they recommend for your pack.
The premium packs (Kifaru, SG, Mystery Ranch, etc.) were, and they will do it with surprising comfort. They are also built to a higher level of durability. You could throw them off a cliff.
I think it is fine to try to make one work, but that is not what they were made to do.
I Love my Kelty meat hauler frame for packing out elk quarters... Amazing harness and very very flexible for your personal body frame.
I have used an Eberlestock sling shot for 8 years now, and I am looking at a new day pack for my archery hunts. I love the pack for a minimalist approach, but have to be VERY creative when I shed layers as to where to store them!!! Lol
I want a hip belt with molle for a pistol, and a pack that works...haven't found one yet that has both in my books.....why cant these guys make a hip belt with molle pouches for those of us who don't need hip fanny pouches for odd gear? That way real men can remove these stupid things and strap on some hard wear to their pack!
I hunt because......
Bitterroot Bulls:
Yeah I looked it up and my pack is rated for 85lbs. 120lbs may be pushing it. Do any of the hunting companies offer custom molded hip belts and custom internal frames with purchase? Most specialty backpack shops offer this for upper end ospreys and a few other brands I believe. Makes for a darn comfortable pack.
In the end its like debating a Remington 870 versus a benelli vinci, they both can kill birds (or haul meat in this case) it just depends on the person and how you use it!
Any pack can carry, some just do certain things better than others. Each person has a different need.

Minor Leagues Gives Fans Glimpse at Future Stars
There is electricity in minor league towns all over North America at this time of year as prospects develop and teams make their final push toward the postseason. The Royals organization is filled with tons of exciting young players and four of the Royals seven minor league affiliates are racing toward the finish line with a great shot at postseason play. Prospects like Luke Hochevar, Alex Gordon and Billy Butler have scouts salivating and fans dreaming of what could be at Kauffman Stadium in the near future.
Perhaps the most exciting news down on the farm is first overall pick Luke Hochevar is scheduled to make his Royals organizational debut tonight as Class-A Burlington hosts South Bend. Hochevar will throw 30-35 pitches tonight as he builds his arm strength (UPDATE: FINAL LINE – 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 SO). After almost a handful of starts at Burlington, the 6-foot-5 right-hander will head to Arizona to compete in the Arizona Fall League against the best of the best in terms of minor league prospects. He will be in Major League camp come February.
Double-A Wichita, featuring a lineup with four former first-round draft picks including third baseman Alex Gordon (2005) and Billy Butler (2004) have been tearing up the Texas League lately, widening their North Division lead to five games as of Aug. 16. Gordon has hit 24 home runs and stolen 21 bases while Butler, despite being one of the youngest players at the Double-A level, leads the league with a .331 average and is second with 96 RBI. Butler, the MVP of the Features Game during All-Star Week, will leave shortly for Cuba where he is competing for Team USA in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Good luck, Billy!
The Wichita pitching staff is lead by Zack Greinke, Tyler Lumsden and Billy Buckner. Greinke, still just 22 years old, has been unhittable lately, posting a 3-0 record and a 1.00 ERA in his last four starts. Lumsden, a big 23-year-old lefty who came over from the White Sox in the Mike MacDougal trade, has a 2.77 ERA in his first three starts. Buckner, a 22-year-old curveball specialist and the Royals 2004 second round pick, was named Texas League Pitcher of the Week last week after earning two wins and allowing just one run.
Class-A High Desert sits in fourth place in the Southern Division of the California League, but is just three games back of first place with 19 to go.
Rookie League Arizona is tied with the Angels and Giants for first place with just 12 games remaining on the schedule. The fleet-footed squad has recorded 108 stolen bases, 42 more than any other team in the league! Six different players have at least 10 steals led by 2006 fourth-round selection Derrick Robinson, who turned down a football scholarship from Florida to play for the Royals.
Finally, the Royals Dominican Summer League team in Salcedo is at it again, clinching the Cibao Division for the third straight season. The team has a 42-19 record with nine games remaining in the regular season.
More prospects Royals fans will want to keep an eye on:
* Jeff Keppinger – infielder at Omaha who is hitting over .350 since he was acquired from the Mets organization in mid-July
* Ryan Braun – hard-throwing right-handed reliever who tore through Wichita and is now making life difficult for hitters in the Pacific Coast League
* Most of the pitchers at Burlington –Luke Hochevar joins an already talented group of young, power arms for the Bees including RHP Erik Cordier, 20, and RHP Carlos Rosa, 21.
* Brent Fisher – 19-year-old lefty has 72 strikeouts in just 53.1 innings for Arizona.

Thanks for the report on the new guys. Since the Royals are diligently working towards another high draft pick, David Glass needs to open the wallet and sign these picks much earlier than Hochevar was signed. These draft picks need to be playing, not sitting home. They need to be quickly developing. This all depends upon Glass's willingness to swiftly meet or exceed industry standard signing levels of these high draft picks.
It seems a tad redundant for the Royals to have Minor League teams. The Royals ARE a Minor League team. As they say at Wal-Mart: "Always low payroll. Always."
When are the Royals going to start following the model of other small market teams, such as the A's or the Twins? I'm just curious. I'm not saying become Moneyball-ites, but when will something more positive happen. I can't wait, 5-6 years for something to happen. I just don't see any improvement now.
Oh and thanks for making Alex Gordon the next George Brett, if that's not the kiss of death, I don't know what is.
Well saying Zack Greinke is the next Dennis Leonard might be just as bad.
My aren't we all being positive! The Royals have already signed contract extensions with DeJesus, and last year with Berroa.
Mr. Moore, has traded talent for talent in postions where it's needed.
I don't think that Mr. Glass will have too much problem opening the wallet on future negotiations…….
If you listened to the original news conference when Hochevar was signed, both Boras (agent) and Mr. Moore stated that Hochevar was signed in a rational time period, and the hang up was NOT the dollars, and was largely caused by Boras.
The Royals ARE following the templates laid out by other similar market teams. The difference is those teams were shifting to this template while the Royals were being lead by a commitee after Mr. Kauffman's passing. During that time they lost most of thier scouting staff, and only signed "signable" draft picks. Folks those days ARE GONE!
It takes guts to be a Royals fan……. and patience.
Concerning the Royals lack of direction. bowtech was right in that we did fix the problems that Moore could at this time. However, there are systemic issues that a few trades are not going to solve. Problem #1 Minor League Teams. What are we teaching them? They come to the majors with no knowledge and/or mental ability to adapt.
PITCHING–We have seen pichers with all the movement and power one needs to be successful, but who was our last pitcher we developed…Appier, Suppan, Rosado–10 years ago. Take for example Mike Wood–does not throw hard, some movement, certainly not overpowering, but won a starting job.
BASERUNNING–Everyone saw or heard about Teahen's baserunning skills, and when you watch the A's or Twins as a club their running skills are above ours by far and I am not just talking about speed. Jim Thome put on a clinic against us–stealing second, taking the extra base. We can not rely on other teams to teach our players–When Costa, Blanco or anyone comes up to fill for an injury they need to be able to run the bases. (Herman does a good job)
IN GAME SITUATIONS–Besides the obvious of runner on third and less than two outs, it seems that we lack a certain acuity in this area. We seem to only have a few ways to win a game i.e. get twice as many hits as out opponents. What we do not do is adapt to what teams are doing to us. For example, there was a streatch in this season when we were drawing a lot of walks and our offence was producing a fair and resonible amount of runs, but lately teams have decided this is not good and we average one to two walks a game vs. five to seven. Are offense has suffered as a result. I expect a hitter to be able to get hits off of fastballs that are strikes. What do fans have to do at the games–hold up signs (Berroa, they are pitching strikes now!)
Draft guys with brains. In the later rounds draft the coaches kid. Do not draft marginal talent from poverty.
"Cbors" you're dead on in many respects. Much of it IS the scouting and developmental side.
I think some of the finer points of the game, such as reading the pitcher comes from experience, and the problem of racing guys up from the minors.
I think Berroa's problem is 100% concentration… I think he'll only be with the Royals until a better SS comes along, or is developed.
As far as drawing walks, I think that has to do with patience when you're up against a #3 thru #5 pitcher. The #1 and 2 guys are typically going to hurt the Royals…..
I think in the past 2 drafts the Royals have proven they are going for talent in the draft, and not just signability…..
Good stuff!
Will you please sell the team Glass

Balance, defense key for VSN
1 2 Next page >
While Valley Stream North's offense continues to be a work in progress, the Lady Spartans' defensive effort has led the way to six wins in 10 games including a methodical 28-12 Conference A-IV victory over visiting Roosevelt last Friday night.
"It might not be picture-perfect, but we're getting the job done and finding ways to win most nights," coach Geoff O'Connell said. "I anticipated a lot of learning to take place this season, and we're learning every game.
"Tonight was a challenge because Roosevelt plays defense different than any other team," he added. "They use a 1-1-3 that forces you to move the ball around the perimeter and either take outside shots or try to force the ball inside."
Senior Lauren Collura, who ranks among Nassau County's leaders in three-point field goals with 23, drained three against Roosevelt for a game-high nine points. Four other Lady Spartans — Alexis Contreras, Julia LoSchiavo, Sarah Miller and Luci Ruddick — chipped in four points apiece as they improved to 3-2 in conference play. "We might not be scoring as much as we'd like to, but the balance we're getting is a positive," O'Connell said. "We don't have an overwhelming scorer, but we're getting a bunch of kids into the scoring column."
Collura, who is averaging 9.2 points per game, poured in a career-high 18 in a loss at Island Trees on Jan. 8. "She's really stepped up," O'Connell said. "She hit some big threes tonight and was right around the rim on some others."
North led 10-4 after the first quarter and extended its advantage to 17-8 at halftime. And it continued its dominance in the fourth, outscoring the Lady Rough Riders by a 5-1 margin. "We've been strong in the fourth quarter all season," O'Connell said. "The girls never give up."

NEW MARTINSVILLE - It's hard enough to beat Magnolia when Kyle Elliott is on the hill. But when you spot him a five-run lead in the first inning it's virtually impossible.
That's exactly what St. Marys did Wednesday evening in their West Virginia Class A Region One championship game at the George Mullett Baseball Complex.
The Blue Eagles used the big inning as a springboard to a 12-1, five-inning victory against the Blue Devils earning Dave Cisar and his crew another trip to Charleston.

Magnolia's Kyle Elliott delivers a pitch during Wednesday's game against St. Marys in New Martinsville.
''Oh heck, I don't know ... six, seven or eight,'' Cisar said smiling when asked how many state trips he's made during his 40-year head coaching career.
One thing Cisar does know is the pleasure he's getting out of this magical campaign.
''If someone had told me at the start of the season that we'd win 30 games I would've told them they were nuts,'' he said.
The Blue Eagles will indeed carry a 30-4 mark into their state semifinal contest at 10 a.m. next Friday against the winner of today's Region 2 championship game pitting East Hardy against Clarksburg Notre Dame.
''We played very, very well and very, very emotional, which we talked about,'' Cisar said. ''You need to do that, especially when you play home.''
New Martinsville hasn't been kind to St. Marys, according to Blue Devils coach Ed Wilson, who watched his team finish 27-7.
''You can't spot someone five runs in the first, especially against Magnolia,'' Wilson said. ''If they were clubbing the ball all over the place, that's one thing. But when you beat yourself, that's not good.
''Every time we come up here we can't play ball for some reason.''
The opening inning was certainly a nightmare for St. Marys. The Blue Eagles sent nine batters to the plate, starting pitcher Michael Stout hit three batters and walked one and the Blue Devils committed two errors.
Magnolia had only one hit in the inning, but it was a big one. Derrick Blain singled and, with the help of an error in the outfield, three scored.
''I'm real happy with my freshman getting a two-run hit and getting a suicide squeeze down,'' Cisar said of Blain. ''He did well not knowing if he was going to play.''
Stout shut down the Blue Eagles in order in the second inning. In the third, however, Magnolia cranked up the bats again.
Zach Willhoite started the inning with a single to left. After Tanner Hanna walked, Chase Miller singled to score Willhoite making the score 6-0.
Later with one out and Blain batting, Hanna and Miller moved to third and second, respectively, on a passed ball. Blain then laid down the aforementioned squeeze to plate two more runs.
Drew Keller became the fourth hit batsman of the game, resulting in Stout being pulled in favor of Tyler Davis. Two batters later, Chandler Sapp belted a double that scored Miller and Blain making the score 9-0.
Everything seemed to be working for Magnolia from a fundamental standpoint.
''We had a really good practice Tuesday,'' Cisar said. ''We had a really good, aggressive batting practice and we hustled, worked on running the bases a lot and worked on the squeeze a lot.''
They also worked on the hit-and-run. And it came into play during a three-run fourth that cemented the game.
Elliott twirled a three-hitter, striking out seven and walking three. St. Marys loaded the bases in the fourth, but only plated a run. Robbie Harper laced an RBI double.
''He threw well and he threw hard,'' Cisar said. ''It was the first time he'd thrown in a couple of weeks.
''His arm was a bit gimpy earlier this week. That's why we didn't play him against (Wheeling) Central.''
Cisar credited his pitching staff as one of the keys to his club's success.
''I felt we had a heck of a chance to have a good team because we had three senior pitchers and two junior pitchers in (Jake) Starkey and Willhoite. And then Miller came in as a freshman.
''We've gotten better as a team. And as we've gotten better, we've gotten more confident.''

Back before Bullish was even a tiny bovine-embryo in TheGloss's collective unconscious, I wrote a column about shutting down street harassers in which I suggested a single line to silence most harassers, while refusing to play their game: "That's not an appropriate way to talk to a woman you don't know." (How do you resond to that? "Yes it is, ma'am"?)

|Health is not a condition of matter, but of mind
|Written by Justin Newman, medical student
Start the New Year Out Right!
Get up and out of that seat—go exercise! Before the New Year becomes not so new and the resolutions begin to fade into forgetfulness, hopefully learning a bit about exercise and its benefits for your body might help to get you on the right track.
Making the lifestyle change to become more active is something no one else can do for you. The feeling of being in shape and making a positive change is addictive, but those first difficult stages and days are often the hardest to get through.
Family and friends can give encouragement. Patients whose doctors give them advice to exercise have been shown to exercise for longer periods. Also, leading by example can help those around you to be more motivated.
Even dogs that become accustomed to a daily jog with their owner have been shown to help keep exercise part of the daily routine. Making the decision to become healthier is easily done, but it takes a great deal of gumption to stay on track.
Exercise gets the heart pumping, the muscles working, releases a variety of "feel good" chemicals into the body and leads to longer, happier lives. Exercise keeps the mind sharp and protects against the loss of memory that comes with aging. A study of persons older than 65 years found those who did regular exercise three or more times per week had a significantly reduced chance of getting Alzheimer's disease.
The immune system performs better, the heart works more effectively, blood pressure can be lowered and cholesterol levels can drop. The list of health benefits is seemingly endless. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
Exercise may prevent the development of diabetes, helps people stop smoking and is suggested to help with the prevention of and recovery from colon, breast and prostate cancer. There is no shortage of reasons to exercise.
The basic premise of exercise is to get the blood flowing and to keep it going. Even people who have physically demanding jobs benefit from exercising. Exercise makes the body function at a higher level and for a longer period of time than occurs with most work chores, so it helps the body in ways an active job can't.
Having a schedule of days to exercise can help maintain the motivation. Even marking on a calendar the days you have worked out can help to give an accurate estimate of the amount of exercise you are getting. If you are walking, running or riding a bike, you may want to write down the time you spent exercising—tracking the amount of time you were able to do the activity will let you track your success.
There are also a number of small changes you can incorporate into your daily life that can help make a change. Always take the stairs. Park your car at the far end of the parking lot. Turn off the TV and go for a walk instead.
Even if you already exercise, set goals for yourself that give you something to work towards. Get into the habit of making the time for yourself—it will pay off now and in the future!

Obituaries are an important newspaper notice for friends and relatives of a
loved one
who has passed on, and for family historians.
Obituaries are mini biographies that form a memorial
tribute to a person's life.
Obituaries often identify relationships of the deceased
as sibling, child, grandparent, parent etc., to numerous other
Obituaries may even suggest other documentation
of an individual's death - church or cemetery records (by
identifying the place of burial or the officiating minister); a death certificate in another county
because the hospital was located there;
or records of a coroner's inquest because the death was sudden
or unexpected.
In conducting research, it is necessary to search the
files of all likely newspapers. It is impossible to know which, if any, newspaper is going to have the
most complete or best obituary. Most cities have more than one newspaper and
an obituary for a specific individual can appear in more than one
Vital Records play an important part in documenting a
loved one or ancestors life. Information on how to obtain
birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates can be found
This site contains over 4,200 pages enabling access to more than

ST. LOUIS -- While you were sleeping, I sat in front of a computer watching price drops across the board on the top patio sets in the country. I was tipped off to all sorts of drops that would happen.
After having seen these patio sets in stores earlier this week, I couldn't be happier. It will be a long time until we see sales across the board like this. In fact, I don't expect price drops as drastic as this -- all at the same time -- again this year. If you have an old patio set that needs to be replaced or you're beautifying your backyard, this is your day.
You'll find all of the big names in patio sets below as this is not the type of thing where you want to compromise on quality.

Imagine having the ability to take a virtual tour of the cosmos from your living room. Not just a flat, two dimensional tour, but an experience so engrossing that you have the ability to see the entire sky at once then zoom into detailed views of distant galaxies. The Terapixel project from Microsoft Research makes all of that possible, by creating the largest and clearest image of the night sky ever produced—a terapixel image, now available in the WorldWide Telescope and Bing Maps.
The Terapixel project began with data from the Digitized Sky Survey, which is a collection of thousands of images taken over a period of 50 years by two ground based survey telescopes— the Palomar telescope in California, United States and the UK Schmidt telescope in New South Wales, Australia. The Palomar telescope took photographs of the Northern sky, and the Southern sky down to around 30 degrees south. The UK Schmidt telescope took photographs of the rest of the Southern sky. Each photograph covers an area of the cosmos six and a half degrees square. For each section of the sky, the digital sky surveys provides two separate images containing the blue and red color intensities. The images themselves are monochromatic; the data simply represents the intensity of blue or red.
The telescope imaging process introduced certain artifacts into the plates such as varying levels of brightness, noise, and color saturation, as well as vignetting: a darkening of the edges and the corners of each plate, which needed correction in order to generate a clear and seamless image. Terapixel programmatically removed these anomalies, stitched and smoothed images, and then created image pyramids for visualization in WorldWide Telescope (WWT).
Developers used Trident, the scientific workflow tool developed by Microsoft Research, to create and manage all of the workflows within the project. Each stage of the process is a Trident workflow activity, from the initial data preparation to sending the terapixel image to the WorldWide Telescope.
Given the large amount of data and computation involved, programmers made use of DryadLINQ and .NET parallel extensions to manage code running in parallel on multi-core machines of a Windows High Performance Computing cluster. By making use of a 64-node cluster (512 cores), they were able to compute the final Terapixel image from the raw digitized data in a little more than half-a-day.
Once the original files are decompressed they undergo a series of programmatic changes to correct the vignetting problem, then the red and blue plates are aligned astrometrically and combined to form a new color image which also contains meta data that maps it to sky coordinates.
The next step is to stitch the color images together into a spherical image and smooth the seams of that image. Terapixel uses the global image optimization program developed by Hugues Hoppe and Dinoj Surendran of Microsoft Research and Michael Kazhdan of Johns Hopkins. The gradients across the image boundaries are set to zero, resulting in a seamless spherical panorama.
The result of the Terapixel project is a full color 24 bit RGB terapixel image of the night sky. The artifacts of the original telescope imaging process have been programmatically removed. The resulting image can be viewed in the WorldWide Telescope and by Bing Maps.TeraPixel is a showcase for Microsoft technologies in many-core computing, in high performance and data-intensive distributed computing, and in scientific workflow management. Terapixel demonstrates how technologies such as Windows HPC, .NET Parallel extensions, DryadLINQ and Trident can be used to create new possibilities for data-intensive research in astronomy, bioinformatics and environmental science.

Harvest Running A Month Ahead Of Schedule
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa farmers are close to wrapping up this year's harvest as much needed rain finally fell across most of the state.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says 87 percent of the corn crop has been harvested, which is a month ahead of schedule. Ninety-three percent of the soybean crop is in from the fields, which is three weeks ahead of normal.
The USDA says in Monday's report that rain over the weekend helped Iowa's pasture and range land. Hay supplies are running short across 41 percent of the state. Calves are being weaned and
sold early due to the short supply of winter hay.
The statewide average rainfall last week was 1.65 inches, triple the normal for the week. It was Iowa's wettest week since early May.
EPA Extends Comment Period
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency has extended the comment period on proposals by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to change regulations of livestock operations to be in compliance with federal Clean Water Act.
The Des Moines Register says the EPA has extended the period by two weeks until Oct. 31.
In July, the EPA said Iowa's program is not sufficient to assess whether livestock confinements need to obtain federal waste discharge permits. It also says Iowa's inspection program is inadequate and the state failed to act in nearly half of the water quality violation cases against cattle farms that the EPA reviewed.
The report was done in response to a petition filed in 2007 by three environmental groups that alleged Iowa fell far short of meeting enforcement requirements.
Man In Custody After Being Charged With Killing 5 Year Old Girl
CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) - A man charged with killing an Iowa girl in 2005 is now in state custody.
Thirty-three-year-old Casey Frederiksen is charged with first-degree murder and first-degree sexual abuse in the death of 5-year-old Evelyn Miller.
State agents took custody of Frederiksen on Monday from a federal penitentiary in Marion, Ill., where he's serving time on child pornography and drug charges. He'll make an initial court appearance Tuesday at the Floyd County Courthouse in Charles City.
Frederiksen was the boyfriend of the child's mother. He was watching the girl at the family's apartment in Floyd when she disappeared. Her body was found in the Cedar River days later.
Frederiksen was charged last month. Prosecutors say he changed his story while in federal prison and inmates say he made incriminating statements.
Linn County Won't File Charges Against Friend of Auditor
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Linn County won't file fraud or other charges against a man hired by the man's close friend, County Auditor Joel Miller.
The Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/RADUB9) that County Attorney Jerry Vander Sanden told county supervisors on Monday there isn't enough evidence to support charges against Joe Clarahan. Clarahan
was hired to more than a year ago to implement software for managing facilities maintenance.
County Finance Director Steve Tucker has said Clarahan accomplished "virtually nothing" on the project. Clarahan has declined to comment.
Vander Sanden's report to the supervisors criticized Miller management of Clarahan and said Clarahan's hiring "raises the specter of blatant cronyism."
Miller said Monday that the allegations and investigations were timed to damage his re-election bid against Republican challenger Garth Fagerbakke.
Fontanelle Residents Under Boil Order
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Residents of Fontanelle (FAHN'-tuh-nel) in southwest Iowa and part of Walford, near Cedar Rapids, are being asked to boil their drinking water for now.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says a break in a large water main in Fontanelle left the city without water. Crews were working on Monday to repair the break and restore service. Breaks
in pipes can allow contaminants to enter the water system.
In Walford, water samples taken during routine testing in the Clover Ridge Subdivision tested positive for E. coli bacteria. Three out of four subsequent samples taken on Oct. 11 tested positive for total bacteria, but did not contain E. coli. The subdivision plans to chlorinate the wells and retest the water.

[Verse One]
Seconds after I had been swept off my feet
Open through the doors and in steps the beat
Complete with medical packs and four fours
Looked at me and said, "damn, this nigga needs gauze"
Wars are fought in the street, he got beat
The meek are disenfranchised and left weak
Me, these images I couldn't ignore
Personas of the rhythm who just walked in the store
The snare, Slim, sported a rare grin
Noticing damage within, removed bullets and packed skin
The kickdrum, Scurvy, open my eyes, he say "don't worry"
At the clerk he fired rounds in a flurry
And the hi-hat, Matt, tapped the hostages with his gat
Told 'em, "break the fuck out and never look back"
They had the form like Miyagi for the kamikaze
Then they got me, walked me out past the local paparazzi
I see, y'all Re-Animators
Sure, kid, ya jams are flavor
We need a savior and we came to relay the data
I repay a major situation 'cross town, our music has lost sound
Cause they had us locked down
They meanin' sucka rappers, herbs, crabs
Comic clowns who be making shitty sounds in labs
They're defacing masterpieces, just to blast to pieces
What's dope, and hoped that we'd accept the wacker thesis
Where's the chamber?
Allow me to become the scum rearranger
They said, "focus your anger and bring the rhymes that you wrote
Because these folks will hang ya"
I accepted their concerns, turned to him and said
"Fuck that written shit I'll flip these niggas off the head"
What about the Feds?
Ayo, we left them a decoy
We didn't want the beast to know we brought back the B-Boy
Hip, hip-hop, I'mma bring it back
[Verse 2]
Hip-hop is so whack, the beats are fightin' back
And I was sent to attack, so I'm following the map
Xs mark the rappers I would soon hex with
Corrosive cadences that overheat when their necks split
Step by step I'm headed toward the set to analyze the threat
And make 'em regret, the day we met
I suspect they got a smooth plot
I'm headed to the rooftops
That's where I'll make my strategem so I can splatter them
They were only half of ten, five less rappers alive
When we collide the standard is dope, they didn't coincide
They were sacrilegious, and vicious, with dark wishes
Which is to assure the core of hip-hop with the snitches
I dropped dime on how to travel back in time
So they can melt and misalign pioneers, patterns of rhyme
And I'm furious, seething at what I'm seeing
Soon those niggas won't be breathing
I've seen what I gotta so I'm leaving
Cause I wanna, set off the slaughter for the evening
Niggas hopped on my shitlist with a swiftness
I'm about to rip this, come bear witness
[Mr. Lif]
Mic check
We had ill static over Illmatic, I reached for it
This nigga said I couldn't have it
So tragic for him to try to counter my magic, I'm rabid
Reached through his fuckin' face and grabbed it
Nigga, how the fuck did you figure
You can interfere with the music so potent
Then I gazed at his skull for a moment
Before I moved on
Then I heard two songs
Distinct flavors from the Wu's Enter the 36 Chambers
I'm about to bring this nigga danger
He was elusive, an Uncle Tom carrying nooses
Strong yet spiritually useless
I gave him flashbacks, of niggas gettin' treated like lab rats
Beatin' with whips and straps
Hit him with conscience, held a mirror up to his face
The motherfucker jetted out of the place
Who's next to get me vexed this rapper making idle threats
Claiming that he's got concepts, I stepped to him slow
Looked deep in his eyes, seen a prison was within him
Cause he's livin' a lie, a rap nearly operation
Told him that man was not meant to leave earth's population
These talks left him pacing, now he suffers from brain disintergration
No thoughts or information, it started raining visibility low
This had no effect on my abilities though
To murder an emcee is standard procedure
I looked and seen this cat gone and followed the leader
But I'm a cheater, the abdomen and chest deleter
Primary feature, my intense urge to to bleed ya
All his blood's drained, and I'm steadily aiming
To find the next nigga for maiming
That's when my instincts came in handy
This mega large nigga tried to brand me
I dodged a mega blast of energy
Then my mind aged a century
Futuristic data, for a complex matter
His power left a crater, I can peep the equator
He smiled, I can see him through the earth's vapor
Looked him up and down, as we walked toward solid ground
What, my jaw dropped at what I found
Classics like Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, BDP, PE, and Run DMC
Low End Theory, Three Feet, Criminal Minded, Takes a Nation A Mill, Time to Kill
Run DMC self-titled, this nigga's my archrival
Survival, not liable, got up close and what I signed couldn't believe
My enemy was a genetic replica of me
Battling yourself is the biggest chore
It could leave your digits raw, a truly vicious type of war
So now I'm thrown off, taken back in fact, I didn't know how to react
I lacked a plan of attack, but he was in full effect, and next
He'd infect my intellect, with thoughts I couldn't accept
Images of my grandmother in that old folks home
Became very vivid in my dome, his method is drastic telepathic
Damaging my mental fabric, hellafied horror havoc
Criminal I can't stand it, or understand it yet my torture was expanded
By thoughts that he commanded, had a vision of my uncle sitting
Dying by himself, meanwhile he's breaking down my physical health
Chronicle inseparable thoughts, to the head
98 percent of which were absorbed by my dreads
The other 2 percent I accepted, just so I can feel the heat again
Had a vision [?]
So now I'm back, strapped and intact
Increasing my brain waves to maximum impact
Thoughts were unholy, slowly he looked me up and down coldly
Like I'm the motherfuckin' phoney
And maybe I am, damn, I stuttered, dropped the mic from my hand
Saw some open land so I ran
But as I jet past past thoughts, my man had blast shots
Bloodcots stopping circulation to my knot
My ego spit my humility started to mumble feeble shit
A thug within me had a dream of Desert Eagle clips
So who's me, maybe this uzi, cold-hearted steel
With a sign that says use me
I call her Susie, do you like what you see
Usually, I wouldn't let a biter confuse me
So why should this instance make a difference?
So I started to think with the innocence of infants in sense of incent
Burn in incense, I'm intense
Funny how the powerful scent just dense your senses
Don't even comment on the senses, I sent this razor sharp tone
Of relentless, sequences that leap fences
Leading all human kind to deep ventures
So I shift forward, like a Sith Lord
With a swift sword, flipped and clipped his mic cord
Speechless, filling with weakness, peep this
He tried to use the heat of his desire to beat Lif
Be my guest, take a guess who left the set last and who was left a mess
Fight fire with fire
And at peace's request
I summoned the sun to burn a hole in his chest

I had to laugh really hard at the dutch names on the map. Some of them really don't make any sense
Especially Stadje is something you can't use in the name of a city
Some examples:
Kleinestadje = Little Little City
Noordwestenlandstreek = Noordwesterstreek or Noordwesterland Landstreek is a bit double
Further no use of - and Westelijk Zee = Westerzee Groot Meer = Grootmeer.
If you would like some better city names I can help you out.
Helderhaven is a nice name.
Try not to use nord/west/east and south with city names so often.
Very nice map further, very detailed!

Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Tiger Woods was assessed a two-stroke penalty
for his illegal drop, but to the Brandel Chamblees of the world, the
punishment wasn't harsh enough.
Chamblee, a one-time PGA Tour winner and current commentator, is arguing for a
Woods withdrawal, claiming the four-time Masters champ gained a competitive
advantage over the field with his illegal drop on No. 15.
Technically, Chamblee is right. Woods violated Rule 26-1 when he didn't take
his drop "nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last
played" and he admitted it after the second round, saying he "went two yards
further back and ... took or tried to take two yards off the shot."
But is disqualification or withdrawal really necessary? How much of an
advantage did Woods really gain? In my opinion, the two-stoke penalty fits the
In the past, this wouldn't have been an issue. Woods signed an illegal card,
which used to mean disqualification. But the recently implemented Rule 33-7
(announced in August 2011) states that "a penalty of disqualification may in
exceptional individual cases be waived, modified or imposed if the Committee
considers such action warranted."
So the Rules Committee saved Tiger from disqualification. But was their action
warranted, as the rule demands?
When examining the circumstances, the answer appears to be yes.
First of all, the infraction wasn't egregious enough for the committee to
take immediate action. While Tiger was still on the course, a television
viewer notified Augusta National of a possible rules breach. The committee
then reviewed the tape while Woods was on the 18th hole and "determined that
he had complied with the Rules," per a statement from Masters officials.
So, by the Rules Committee's initial findings, Woods' card was actually legal
when he signed it. It was only after a post-round interview, when Woods said
he moved his drop back, that the officials again reviewed the tape and
reversed their decision.
Which brings me to my second point: intent.
Yes, if Woods intentionally broke the rules in an effort to gain a competitive
advantage and then lied about it on his scorecard, he should be disqualified.
But that doesn't appear to be the case. If it were, why would he casually
admit it on TV after the round? He was in the clear, off the course and
through to the weekend just three shots off the pace.
Instead of an intentional violation of the rules, it is more likely that Woods
was caught up in the moment and lapsed mentally. Keep in mind, he was tied for
the lead when his stellar approach unbelievably bounced off the flagstick and
rolled into the water.
And that is why Rule 33-7 makes so much sense. It saves players, under intense
mental strain, from themselves. Tiger's drop didn't warrant disqualification.
The two-stroke penalty gave him a triple-bogey 8 on No. 15, where he might
have holed out for eagle if it weren't for that pesky flag. And it dropped him
from seventh to 19th on the leaderboard.
In this case, Chamblee sounds like a relic; stodgy and pompous. Rule 33-7 is a
step in the right direction and this case will likely serve as an example of
how to implement it going forward.
Woods shouldn't withdrawal. The punishment fits the crime.
