Malika de Silva and Rebekah Sherman of Kingmakers Board Game Parlour believe fun and games are serious business.
Malika de Silva and Rebekah Sherman of Kingmakers Board Game Parlour believe fun and games are serious business.
The concept is based on a place in Toronto called Snakes and Lattes. In spring 2012 I checked it out and while I was there I asked the owner what it would take to open a similar place in Columbus. He said people asked him that question all the time. I think he was surprised when I called him back three months later and told him I was about to open one. Places like Kingmakers are opening all over the country, but we like to think we bring a sophistication that sets us apart. -MS
I met Rebekah while I was working in a restaurant. We were at a wine tasting for new employees at a restaurant in Grandview when I started telling her about my idea. She seemed really into it. She came back the next day and said she couldn't sleep because she'd been thinking about it all night. She even told her husband. -MS
Board gaming is huge in Columbus. One of the largest board gaming societies is located right here. We also have a huge convention every year. I'm into both electronic gaming and board games, but board games allow for more personal interaction. We really want to emphasize inclusion and face-to-face interaction. There is actually a lot of cross-over between the two interests. I can do either/or, it just depends on what mood I'm in. Obviously, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be involved in [Kingmakers]. It's funny, when I was explaining to a friend what Kingmakers is and what I do, they said, "Wow, you're living your dream, huh?" -RS
I honestly thought it would be easy to open this place. I have a business degree from Ohio State, and I've worked in restaurants all my life, so I thought with my education and work experience, opening my own restaurant would be simple. I was wrong. Finding a commercial space in the Short North was so hard! I must have looked at every available retail space in town before finding this location. The permits and paperwork were a nightmare as well. -MS
We want to offer a place for people to socialize where drinking isn't the focus. I like to stay home a lot, and my best friend likes to go out. Hanging out at Kingmakers is kind of a nice middle ground. We have awesome specialty sodas for those who aren't into drinking. We also have eight beer taps and four taps of kegged wine in case you want something stronger, but we want the focus to be on the games. -RS
We have about 239 games right now, and we plan to keep updating our game library. There are always indie game publishers (even some local) who are always coming out with new games. Every game has different rules and utilizes different parts of your brain, so if one game is getting old, talk to our "game sommeliers" and they can suggest and explain another one. We offer cooperative games, strategy games and party games, so there is something no matter what you're in the mood for. We have a $5 library fee per person, and the money from that keeps the game inventory well stocked. We want to provide a consistent experience for people so when they decide they are looking for this type of night out, this is where they come. -MS
We want to keep it simple. Right now we are only offering the beer, wine and Brezel pretzels because we want to keep things simple and focus on doing what we do well. All of our game sommeliers are well-versed on the library and can help customers decide on what they want. As long as the customer is having a good time, we're happy. It isn't too hard to be in a good mood here. It's a jovial place. -MS

TGen researchers discover possible way to block the spread of deadly brain tumors
(18 Apr 2008: VIDYYA MEDICAL NEWS SERVICE) -- Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) may have found a way to stop the often-rapid spread of deadly brain tumors.
A gene with the playful-sounding name NHERF-1 may be a serious target for drugs that could prevent malignant tumors from rapidly multiplying and invading other parts of the brain, according to a cover story in this month's edition of Neoplasia, an international journal of cancer research.
Cancer cell movement and rapid division are key characteristics of malignant brain tumors known as glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM.
Dr. Michael Berens, Director of TGen's Cancer and Cell Biology Division, said the recent findings are a major step toward devising a treatment for GBM, which because of its ability to rapidly grow within the brain often means patients have little time to survive.
"Controlling the actions of tumor cells by regulating NHERF-1 implicates it as a possible therapeutic target for treating brain cancer," said Dr. Kerri Kislin, a scientist in TGen's Cancer and Cell Biology Division.
"Our findings suggest a novel mechanism defining NHERF-1 as a 'molecular switch' that regulates the GBM tumor cell's ability to migrate or divide,'' said Dr. Kislin, the scientific paper's lead author.
Dr. Berens, the paper's senior author, said the advances made by TGen not only confirm NHERF-1 as a gene associated with brain tumors, but also pinpoint it as a possible cause for their rapid growth and spread of GBM.
"Dr. Kislin's work has meant a fast maturation of NHERF-1 from a candidate gene associated with glioma invasion to positioning it as having a verified role in contributing to the malignant behavior of the disease," Dr. Berens said.
TGen scientists are scheduled to present their findings at the 100th annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, April 18-22 in Denver.
Glioblastomas are essentially incurable tumors, in part, because there is no way to remove them surgically and ensure that all of the invading tumor cells are gone, even when surgery is followed by radiation treatments and conventional anti-cancer drugs.
"A chemotherapeutic treatment which targets these migrating cells would therefore have significant ramifications on patient survival," said Dr. Jennifer M. Eschbacher, a Neuropathology Fellow at Barrow Neurological Institute, who examined tumors for the study.
"As a pathologist, I examined expression of NHERF-1 under the microscope in tumor sections, including both invading edges of tumor and cellular tumor cores. We found NHERF-1 to be robustly expressed by invading tumors cells, when compared to tumor cores, suggesting that this factor plays a significant role in tumor invasion,'' Dr. Eschbacher said.
In the study, depletion of NHERF-1 stopped the migration of glioma – brain cancer – cells, she said. "These results suggest that NHERF-1 plays an important role in tumor biology, and that targeted inhibition of this factor may have significant effects on patient treatment and survival.''

"make juice not war" ~ Kris Carr
So work has been a little stressful this week; long hours coupled with way too much comfort food is bad for one's jeans so I decided to do a juice cleanse. I purchased Kris Carr's crazy sexy juice and smoothie e-book and so it's the perfect time to get going. Additionally, the babe is gone for a week so I can experiment with all kinds of new age remedies.
Juicing requires a good juicer - being my father's daughter I initially purchased a Breville dual-disc juicer a while back. It made lots of juice very quickly but the juice oxidizes quickly and after a day in the fridge, it looks disgusting. So I recently purchased a Hurom juicer, which is a slow, masticating juicer and makes delicious juice. I started my diet yesterday with a lovely green juice from Kris's book. All was well until the afternoon when my stomach felt like it would explode and the sounds coming from it were astonishing. I immediately made myself a kale salad with chicken. I know! Today I made another yummy green juice this morning and this afternoon graduated to a new recipe called Mexican ... something or other. Peeps, I took a sip and thought I would regurgitate my juice right out of my mouth. But, I am brave and I downed the concoction down. A half hour later I thought I was going to puke (sorry, TMI!). Peeps never, ever juice an entire bunch of cilantro as a newbie juicer and drink it. It is NOT a good thing! I settled my stomach with a turkey sausage (definitely not included on the cleanse). Sigh! Obviously this is not going well. Has anyone done this before? Any advice?
On the menu tonight - raw carrot ginger curried soup made in my vitamix? Can one's teeth fall out from not chewing? And is wine not just pressed grapes?

I love this 1940 coke cola flange sign. The die cut design is really neat and i love the yellow with the bottle in the circle. The date is 1-40 so it makes it the first month of the first year this sign was made which makes it one of the first of it's kind. The later versions like the 47 aren't as detailed they took the shading around the coke cola and made them look cheap and plan. The 40 is one of all time coolest coke flange signs!

Here is a short story that I've been writing. I share it with you here, because it draws a good deal of inspiration from the Urban Rival's website. Or more, specifically, the Freak's clan. It is NOT a direct fan-fiction, though I'm sure you will spot some of the characters while reading it.
The work below is part of a greater work of short stories, that I've been writing in my limited spare time. The collection is entitled 'From A Bird's Eye View'. All of the stories within the collection focus around a very unusual perspective.
The story below is one of the stories within the collection. It is called 'Hear The Crowd Roar' and is one of those stories you'll need to read multiple times in order to discover all the hidden meanings and allusions.
I'm NOT a professional writer by trade and this is only the first draft, a good deal of editing is still required on this particular work. However, I hope you will enjoy it all the same.

Researchers Voice Concern Over E-Books' Effect on Reading Comprehension
Digital devices and online reading materials are flooding U.S. schools, but there are some early reasons to worry whether they are helping children better learn to read.
That was the message from a husband-and-wife research team from West Chester University who presented two studies here as part of the annual conference of the American Educational Research Association.
The first study found that a small sample of students comprehended traditional books at "a much higher level" than they comprehended the same material when read on an iPad, said Heather Schugar, an assistant education professor at the university, located in southeastern Pennsylvania.
And the second study found that while students in 18 classrooms were "highly motivated by their interactions" with interactive e-books created using Apple's iBooks Author software, they "often skipped over text, where the meat of the information was."
The findings, presented as part of a panel on "Understanding Digital Literacy Practices," are part of a just-emerging body of new research on how students interact with and learn from the digital tablets and computers that are now prevalent in U.S. classrooms.
The early data raise some concerns and should prompt educators, policymakers, and publishers to reconsider assumptions that the skills students use to read print materials automatically transfer to the reading of digital materials, the researchers said. But they should not be taken as a definitive indictment of iPad- or tablet-based literacy instruction in general, they stressed.
"It's not necessarily that e-books are bad for reading," Ms. Schugar said in an interview. "But teachers need more strategies for teaching kids to use what they know about reading in an e-book environment."
In the iPad study, the researchers worked with 13 "struggling" middle-grades students—a very small sample from which it is impossible to draw wide conclusions.
Some of the students read print versions of four commonly used books, and the others read digital versions.
While accuracy and fluency levels were about the same, comprehension dipped noticeably for those students reading on iPads.
"Distracting" interactions that diverted focus from the text without communicating any additional meaning or offering learning scaffolds were likely a big factor, said Jordan Schugar, an instructor at West Chester University.
"A lot of people doing publishing don't really understand the reading process," he said, and improving student reading is partly about "what publishers can do to make their materials less game-y and more functional, with more cognitive elements and less gimmicky stuff."
On the positive side of the ledger, the researchers said, student engagement with, and motivation for, the digital materials sharply outpaced that for traditional print books.
Other researchers on the panel found similar tensions between engagement and outcomes.
University of Minnesota doctoral candidate Madeleine Israelson, for example, found that early-grades teachers were highly motivated to use ed-tech and classroom apps to teach literacy, but were primarily "using technology to support students' traditional print-based literacies, not to foster students' development of new literacy skills and strategies."

The NYS Courts Access to Justice Program joined the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service to sponsor the fifth annual National Pro Bono Celebration Week from October 20 - 26, 2013. The NYS Courts Access to Justice Program sponsored a free legal clinic on the Mobile Legal Help Center, a Bridge the Gap CLE pro bono training series, and a Pro Bono Awards Night volunteer recognition event.
The Mobile Legal Help Center
In honor of National Pro Bono Celebration Week, the NYS Courts Access to Justice Program partnered with the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) to bring civil legal services to New Yorkers aboard NYLAG's Mobile Legal Help Center. The Mobile Legal Help Center traveled to a different county of New York City each day of the week between October 20 - 26, 2013 and over 60 people received free private legal consultations with volunteer attorneys. Numerous healthcare proxies and living wills were executed right then and there on the van. Court personnel were also available to provide legal and procedural information about Surrogate's Court.
Bridge the Gap Training Series
The NYS Courts Access to Justice Program held a "Bridge the Gap" training program which focused on recruitment of new graduates and newly admitted attorneys to encourage them to get involved in pro bono early in their careers and to fulfill their first or second year mandatory continuing legal education (CLE) requirements. From October 20 - 26, 2013, training was conducted in ethics, uncontested divorce, housing, and consumer debt. Over 80 recent law school graduates and newly admitted attorneys participated in this initiative.
Pro Bono Awards Night
The NYS Courts Access to Justice Program, the New York State Bar Association, the New York County Lawyers' Association (NYCLA) and the Office of the Mayor co-sponsored a pro bono volunteer recognition event on Thursday, October 24, 2013, at NYCLA. Attorneys received awards for their outstanding pro bono service. Special recognition was given to some of the outstanding attorneys and programs that assisted Superstorm Sandy survivors as well as the pro bono contribution of Emeritus Attorneys.
The NYS Courts Access to Justice Program honorees included Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP; Roger Hawke, Attorney Emeritus; Sandra Lee Laumann; Svetlana Gloukhova Krishnan, Tina Chan; Amir Rasoulpour; Della L. Dekay; Thomas Giles; Jennifer K. Brown; Bryant Cherry-Woode; Jesse Maniff; Juanita Lasprilla; and, Tracy Flynn. In addition, 347 volunteers were recognized for their work in the NYS Courts Access to Justice Program's Consumer Debt, Uncontested Divorce, Housing, Family Law and Guardian Ad Litem programs. Three court employees, Yosef Seigel, Dahyana Grullon and Bo Burnstein were also honored for their contributions to the DIY Form programs. All of the honorees performed over 50 hours of pro bono services in a court-based program throughout 2013. During this event, a Volunteer Opportunity Expo was held for attendees to learn about the NYS Courts Access to Justice Program's volunteer programs. After the event, honorees were featured on the NYS Courts Access to Justice Program Facebook page: www.facebook.com/NYCourtsVLP.The program included remarks by Barbara Moses, President, NYCLA; Glenn Lau-Kee, President-elect, New York State Bar Association; David B. Goldin, Administrative Justice Coordinator, Office of the Mayor of the City of New York; and, Fern A. Fisher, Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for New York City Courts and Director, New York State Courts Access to Justice Program.

Jobsworths told 'enough is enough'
Jobsworths have been warned not to use health and safety laws to introduce "ridiculous" rules after a drive to uncover their misuse discovered frisbee bans and an end to donkey rides on beaches.
Staff at a cafe in Bedfordshire refused to put strawberry sauce on a customer's ice cream for supposed health and safety reasons, according to the Department for Work and Pensions.
Frisbee catching has been dropped from a popular Cumbria dog show, donkey rides banned in case sunbathers are injured and office workers at an Aldershot company have been told they must not wear open-toed shoes in the summer, according to complaints to the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) "myth buster" panel.
Donkey rides on the beach have fallen foul of health and safety rules
Health and Safety minister Mark Harper said: "Enough is enough. It's time we were all allowed to enjoy our summers, rather than have them spoiled by ridiculous, arbitrary and downright unreasonable application of apparent 'health and safety rules'.
"Real health and safety laws exist to protect Britain's workers, and not to be used as a smoke screen by jobsworths who have little knowledge of the law and who want to fob people off with an easy excuse. If there's a genuine reason for preventing something then it's time the real reason was given."
Around 300 complaints have been made to the panel about misuse of health and safety laws.
HSE chairwoman Judith Hackitt said: "I would urge all bosses to familiarise themselves with health and safety law and properly educate their staff. Real health and safety is about protecting people in the workplace from life and health threatening risks - not about refusing to apply suntan lotion, or put sauce on an ice cream.
"Health and safety has become an all too convenient excuse, which means the law is being applied disproportionately or more often than not entirely erroneously. If there's a genuine law or your insurance provider doesn't cover it then own up to the real reason."

NEW YORK (AP) — AT&T says it set a sales record for the iPhone 5, with customers ordering more of them than any previous iPhone model on the first day of preorders and over the weekend.
The Dallas company said Monday that the iPhone 5 is still available for preorders online and will be available at its stores starting on Friday. It didn't say how many were sold.
The iPhone 5 has a bigger screen — 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) measured diagonally — that creates room for another row of icons and lets widescreen movies fit better. The calendar will now show five days at a time instead of just three. Previous iPhone models carried 3.5-inch (8.89-centimeter) screens.
The iPhone 5 will also come with the capability to connect to the fastest new wireless data networks in the U.S. and overseas.

Snapshots from Italy: Grano Stompato, My New Favorite Food
Editor's note: Serious Eats correspondent Carey Jones, eating her way around Italy, will be reporting back from Rome, Bologna, Tuscany, and Puglia.
Two dizzying weeks of giddy gluttony in Italy, eating my way from Bologna to Lecce, acquainted me with a number of veggies, pastas, and sea creatures I'd neither seen nor tasted before. But one of the best single bites of the entire journey came in the town of Manduria, when I took my first mouthful of grano stompato—a centuries-old peasant meal that reminded me just how simple and sublime the right ingredients can be.
The name of this dish, also called cranu stumpatu, translates to "stomped grain"—and it's nearly as simple as it sounds. Whole grains of durum wheat are husked, soaked for twelve hours, and then pearled with a heavy mortar; that wheat is then soaked again and boiled, uncovered, for several hours. ("Durum" derives from a Latin word meaning "hard," and true to its name, this firm and stubborn grain demands an awful lot of softening.)
Eventually, the wheat mellows into a state not too different from farro (made from the closely related emmer wheat) but with larger grains and a bit more of a bite. Some preparations continue with tomato sauce and perhaps a grating of sheep's milk Pecorino. But Puglia is a historically impoverished region, and the poor and hardy farmers were more likely to stop with just the grain, perhaps adding drizzle of the ubiquitous native olive oil.
That's essentially how we encountered the grano stompato, at a lunch at the Museo della Civiltà del Vino Primitivo in Manduria. The chef had sautéed a bit of onion in ample olive oil before tossing in the cooked wheat. And that was all this dish needed. The oil was fruity and sharp, enormously fragrant. The finely diced onion was expertly softened, with a hint of caramelized sweetness. And the grain itself was earthy and appealing, more satisfying than rice or farro—a texture almost like steel-cut oatmeal writ large.
I don't like applying the word "revelatory" to food; I think it's a somewhat florid term. A chocolate cake may be delicious, but it rarely sparks a revelation. This meal did. I knew that certain revered ingredients, like a perfectly ripe heirloom tomato or an ocean-fresh lobster, were better left unadulterated. But I never realized that simple kernels of grain could be treated the same way.
I finished every bite, though I knew several more courses lay ahead. And as I pierced the last grains with my fork, I couldn't imagine a more perfect meal. Were I an eighteenth-century Puglian farmer, I'm sure, grano stompato would grow tiresome. But at that moment, I felt as if I could live on it alone.

It has been busy around here the past week. I would like to apologise to my blogger friends for not visiting and commenting on their new posts! My parents are here for a long visit – they arrived last Sunday night – and we had been organising the house in preparation for their visit. We made trips to Ikea, moved furniture about and threw out a lot of garbage! 🙂
I'm looking forward to learning more dishes from my mum. Just last night I watched her make my all-time favourite, Vinegar Pork Ribs, and it was great. No time for photos, just eat! This afternoon she whipped up a plate of fried rice for the boys' lunch. It won't be sandwiches every day for lunch when Grandma's here!
Bacon fried rice with eggs and cucumber
2 cups cooked rice (left over or day old rice is best)
3 strips of bacon, cut into strips
2 eggs,
lightly beaten
Half a medium yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup of julienned cucumber
Light soy sauce
Dark soy sauce
Fry bacon in a skillet till crispy. Remove, set aside and drain fat from pan.
Pour in
beaten eggs and scramble. Season with light soy sauce and pepper. Remove and set aside.
Add a teaspoon of oil and saute the onion. Add in the rice, season with the soy sauces and mix, breaking up clumps of rice. When the rice is warm, put in the bacon, egg and cucumber and mix well. Taste and season with more soy sauce if required. Serve.
There was a surprise in my Inbox recently – I was offered an 'Editor's Choice' award from Be @ Home, a specialty blog with lots of tips and guides for the home and garden! It is my pleasure to have the button on my blog. Click the button and check out the site!
Lastly, I doubt I'll be posting before Thanksgiving (Canada celebrates Thanksgiving on October 10) so I would like to wish everyone celebrating Thanksgiving a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you'll have a great day and meal(s) with your family!
We haven't been celebrating Thanksgiving Day as 1) it wasn't part of the culture in Malaysia and 2) we didn't have family here to celebrate with. This year, however, my parents are here and we'll celebrate! When you're in Rome, do as the Romans do, eh? Since there's just 6 of us, I won't roast a full turkey but will make a turkey roulade instead. Hope it'll turn out well and we'll have a splendid meal. Here's the menu I have in mind:
Turkey roulade
Potato gratin
Roasted vegetables
Pecan tart
Apple pie
Care to share your ideas for a Thanksgiving meal?

Prospects Will Break Your Heart
Detroit Tigers Top 10 Prospects
Prospect rankings primer
The Top Ten
1. Nick Castellanos
What Happened in 2013: As a 21-year-old, Castellanos played a full season of Triple-A baseball, working to refine his plus bat against more advanced pitching.
Strengths: Excellent hands at the plate; creates plus bat speed; has some leverage and lift; projects to hit for both average and power; strong arm; good athlete for size; aptitude for the game; some defensive versatility.
Weaknesses: Trigger can be a bit slow; swing can get long; struggles against quality arm-side velocity; some question the offensive projection (more solid-avg than impact); glove unlikely to play solid-avg at third; below-average profile in outfield corner.
Overall Future Potential: 6; first-division player
Realistic Role: 5; major-league regular
Risk Factor/Injury History: Low risk; ready for major-league challenge
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: With a move back to the hot corner potentially on the horizon, Castellanos' fantasy value takes a nice tick up as the eligibility is much sexier there. Even if he does switch back to third, there's always the chance that his defensive performance there warrants a return to the outfield. Regardless, if he hits to his full potential he could be a near-.300 hitter with 20-plus homers and a lot of RBIs (as he's more likely to be in a run-producing slot in the lineup).
The Year Ahead: Of all the prospects in the minors, Castellanos might receive the most mixed reviews, as he's either a top-20 talent with future 6/6 hit/power at the major-league level, or he's just an average player, a top 50 prospect that has some ability with the bat but not nearly the impact talent some project. I've seen it and I like it, but I tend to fall in the middle of the two camps; I think Castellanos is going to hit for a high average but I'm not sold the power shows up in the 25-plus home run range without selling out the contact to achieve it. While I don't see a future 6/6 type, I do think he develops into a solid-average major-league player, and if he can stick around at third, there is a lot of value to be found in that profile.
Major league ETA: Debuted in 2013
2. Jonathon Crawford
What Happened in 2013: Taken 20th overall in the 2013 draft. Crawford only dipped his toes into professional waters after signing, but should jump on an accelerated plan and move quickly up the minor league ranks in 2014.
Strengths: Big arm strength; fastball is lively in the low 90s; touches mid-90s; strong offering; slider is second plus potential pitch; hard breaker with good tilt and bat-missing ability; mature build; ready to advance quickly.
Weaknesses: Command profile is fringe; can lose his delivery; struggles to finish and will elevate offerings; changeup is below average; power arsenal with limited nuance.
Overall Future Potential: 6; no. 3 starter
Realistic Role: 5; late-innings arm (setup)
Risk Factor/Injury History: Moderate risk; short-season resume; should move fast going forward.
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: Crawford is a big arm, and carries the most upside in the system when it comes to potential starting pitchers. He has two weapons that may allow him to maintain very strong strikeout rates, but there might not be a ton of impact in the other three categories. If he's a reliever, it's a poor value proposition, but there's endgame potential.
The Year Ahead: Crawford has the arm strength and hard breaking ball to pitch in the majors, but the long-term outcome will depend on his ability to find consistency in his delivery, which will aid in his ability to throw strikes and to execute his changeup. If he can refine, this is future mid-rotation starter with good bat-missing potential. If he fails to reach that ceiling, he can still carve out a valuable career as a late-innings reliever, one who could probably work the fastball in the mid-90s (touching higher) to go along with the sharp slider.
Major league ETA: 2015
3. James McCann
What Happened in 2013: After a disappointing run in his first pass in Double-A, McCann rebounded in 2013, showing good gap pop to go along with his solid defensive skills behind the plate.
Strengths: Athletic and strong; good receiver; frames well; good game caller; arm is solid-average; quick release and accurate; necessary intangibles for position; bat could get to average; shows gap power.
Weaknesses: Glove-first profile; weak contact against arm-side pitching; hit most likely to play below average; power will play below average; athletic but below-average run.
Overall Future Potential: 5; major-league regular
Realistic Role: High 4; backup catcher/below-average regular
Risk Factor/Injury History: Moderate risk; solid in Double-A debut; bat needs grade improvement.
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: Unless you're in a deep league or one that plays two catchers, McCann is not a name worth worrying about at this point. His real-life value is much higher than his fantasy value. He profiles similarly with the bat to former Tigers' farmhand Rob Brantly.
The Year Ahead: Dual-threat catchers don't grow on trees, and given his progress with the stick in 2013, it's not a stretch to see McCann developing his way into that category. It's always going to be a glove-first profile—with solid-avg attributes that play up in combination—but the bat has a chance to play up to average and show respectable gap pop, so its not an empty out. If that's a .260 hitter with some extra-base potential coming from a 5+ glove at a premium spot, that's a valuable player.
Major league ETA: Late 2014
4. Jake Thompson
What Happened in 2013: The 19-year-old made his full-season debut, making 16 starts in the Midwest League, missing 91 bats in 83 innings.
Strengths: Big, physical frame; delivery and arm work well; fastball works 89-92; touches higher; some late arm-side wiggle; slider is money pitch; already above average, thrown with velocity and tilt; shows some feel for promising changeup.
Weaknesses: More control than command at this point; fastball command is below-average; will pitch off his slider; show a curveball but it's below average (present); changeup is below average (present); physically mature without much projection remaining.
Overall Future Potential: High 5; no. 3 starter
Realistic Role: Low 5; no. 5 starter/late-innings relief (7th inning)
Risk Factor/Injury History: High risk; limited professional experience
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: Of all the pitchers on this list, Thompson likely has the best chance to stay in the rotation long term, but his upside is not something to get extremely excited about. He projects as more of a back-end starter who could be solid all around, but lacks a ton of fantasy potential.
The Year Ahead: Thompson looks the part of a workhorse type, complete with a big, sturdy frame and at least two pitches that project to plus (slider is close to that point already). He needs to refine his fastball command and take a grade step with the changeup and curveball, but you have to like the profile. It might be more slow and steady than accelerated and sexy, but if he eventually finds his way to a major-league rotation and settles in as a solid-average number three or four starter, the luster and shine of his prospect status won't matter.
Major league ETA: 2016
5. Corey Knebel
What Happened in 2013: Knebel wasted little time after signing, shoving in the Midwest League before making a nine-game cameo in the Arizona Fall League.
Strengths: Big fastball; delivered on steep plane; velocity works easy in the 93-97 range; power pitch; hard curve can be true hammer; thrown in the low 80s with big snap and depth; can turn over decent cambio; late-innings approach/mentality.
Weaknesses: Makeup concerns; emotions can get the better of him; fastball lacks big movement; can flatten out when he works up; more control than command.
Overall Future Potential: High 5; late-innings reliever (closer)
Realistic Role: 5; late-innings reliever (setup)
Risk Factor/Injury History: Low risk; mature arsenal
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: The leader in the clubhouse for Tigers' closer of the future, Knebel could be an impact reliever at the major-league level and soon. The slider should keep him racking up strikeouts, but with his value being so role dependent (and the Tigers' willingness to reach outside the organization to fill the closer role), he shouldn't be high up on your dynasty draft boards.
The Year Ahead: Knebel is a natural late-innings arm, with a power arsenal and aggressive approach to execution. The makeup should be a legit concern, as immaturity has been a red flag since his college days. But the stuff is there to develop into a major-league caliber closer, and if he can channel his emotions without losing the intensity he brings to the table, he could move fast and contribute to the major-league team in 2014.
Major league ETA: Late 2014
6. Endrys Briceno
What Happened in 2013: Briceno made his full-season debut, finding mixed results, but he did make 25 starts and logged an impressive 116 innings, quite the progression from last season's body of work.
Strengths: Highly projectable body; easy delivery and release; fastball will work 90-95; touches higher; projects to be a 7 pitch; turns over an impressive changeup; good arm speed and late action; plus potential pitch; athletic and clean delivery suggests average or better command at maturity.
Weaknesses: Fastball velocity ebbs and flows; will work 90-92 then work 94-95; general inconsistencies in delivery; breaking ball is below average; slurvy offering that lacks bite; pitchability needs work; command below average at present.
Overall Future Potential: High 5; no. 2/3 starter
Realistic Role: 5; no. 4/ starter
Risk Factor/Injury History: High risk; big gap between present/future
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: If drafting for ceiling is what you're into, Briceno should probably be the second pitcher in this system off the board. He's too raw to have a feel for what he'll be at peak, but the stuff is worth taking a chance toward the end of your farm system.
The Year Ahead: The system lacks many high-ceiling prospects, but Briceno has the size and the stuff to emerge as a top talent. He has a good delivery, but is still learning how to control his body and repeat his mechanics. The fastball is potential monster offering, and the changeup is ahead of the developmental curve and shows the making of an impact pitch. The breaking ball needs a lot of work, and it could take a few years for him to really take off. But once his stuff stabilizes and he starts to miss more bats, Briceno is a likely candidate to take a major step forward in the prospect world.
Major league ETA: 2016
7. Drew VerHagen
What Happened in 2013: A fourth-round pick out of Vandy in 2012, VerHagen advanced to the Double-A level in 2013, setting himself up for a potential call-up at some point in the coming season.
Strengths: Huge size; athletic; fastball is heavy and can work in the 91-95 range and touch higher; hard to lift when he works low in the zone; strike thrower; curve and change could be average to solid-average.
Weaknesses: Fastball-dominant arsenal; secondary arsenal is fringe-average; lacks plus projections; command needs refinement; can lose his delivery/struggle to stay over the ball.
Overall Future Potential: 5; no. 4 starter
Realistic Role: 5; late-innings reliever (setup)
Risk Factor/Injury History: Moderate risk; mature build; limited projection
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: The upside is just not there for VerHagen to be owned outside of very deep dynasty leagues. Even if he makes it to Detroit as a starter, his quality of raw stuff isn't going to lead to a ton of missed bats (as it hasn't thus far in the minors), though his groundball tendencies will help insulate his ratios a bit.
The Year Ahead: VerHagen is a big-bodied sinkerballer who knows how to pound the zone and force groundball outs. He's not sexy but if the secondary stuff can improve a bit, he should end up a solid back-of-the-rotation starter. If the curve and changeup remain fringe offerings, a bullpen future is still likely given the power of the fastball and the ability to throw strikes. He should start back in Double-A, and with any luck, VerHagen could taste the majors at some point this season.
Major league ETA: Late 2014
8. Steven Moya
What Happened in 2013: After 566 at-bats at the Low-A level over the last two seasons, Moya finally made his way to the Florida State League, where his batting practice displays still received more acclaim than his on-the-field performance.
Strengths: Abnormally large human; raw power is off the charts; good athlete for his enormous size; raw arm strength for corner spot; glove should be average.
Weaknesses: Swing is long and leveraged; issues with pitch recognition; chewed up by arm-side stuff; hit tool will play well below average; game power will play under raw; glove is average at best; needs power to play.
Overall Future Potential: 6; first-division player
Realistic Role: High 4; platoon bat/below-average regular
Risk Factor/Injury History: High risk; big developmental gains needed to play
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: Moya is a fantasy of sorts, as he still has a long way to turn his One True Tool into fantasy relevance. If you're in a league where a two true outcome player (he doesn't walk) has value, Moya may be worth a flier, but he's most likely not worth the roster spot.
The Year Ahead: Moya has some of the best raw power in the minors, with batting practice heroics that force observers to worship the long ball like it was a sun god. The biggest problem with Moya's profile is that his future is tied to his ability to bring that raw power into game action, and the reality is that his hit tool is going to limit that utility. The swing isn't especially quick, as he relies more on his superhuman strength than pure bat speed, and he has holes that better pitching will exploit with greater efficiency. He's still very young, and it might take three more years in the minors to refine his swing and approach, but if he can find a way to get the power to play, its an impact bat in the middle of a lineup. Hard to see that actually happening, though.
Major league ETA: Late 2016
9. Eugenio Suarez
What Happened in 2013: The 22-year-old proved to be a tough out over two levels, while showing above-average defense at shortstop.
Strengths: Left-side defensive skills; good actions; good backhand pickup; arm is strong enough to make the throws; shows instincts for the position; can put the bat on the ball at the plate; good hands; quick to the ball; hit tool could play to solid-average.
Weaknesses: Lacks impact tools; defensive profile is solid-average but will make fundamental errors; arm isn't a weapon; well below-average power; hit tool might play below average; not a burner; limited upside.
Overall Future Potential: 5; major-league regular
Realistic Role: High 4; utility player
Risk Factor/Injury History: Moderate risk; Double-A experience; quality glove
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: Another low-upside fantasy option in the Tigers system. Suarez might have the potential to be a valuable member of Detroit organization, but if he's on your fantasy roster, you may have to rethink your strategy for acquiring minor leaguers.
The Year Ahead: It was a toss-up between Suarez and Hernan Perez for this spot, as both look like future utility options at the highest level. Suarez gets the nod on this list because of the better left-side profile, even though Perez has the superior stick. It's close, but I think Suarez takes a step forward in 2014 and shows more life at the plate than he did in his first run through Double-A.
Major league ETA: Late 2014
10. Harold Castro
What Happened in 2013: After an unexpected start in High-A, Castro finished the season in the Midwest League, where he pressed and took a developmental step back.
Strengths: Natural bat-to-ball ability; excellent hands; good bat speed; enough arm for second; average glove; good run.
Weaknesses: Overly aggressive at the plate; puts himself in bad hitting conditions; pull-happy approach; below-average power; lacks plus defensive tools; limited feel in the field; body needs to add strength.
Overall Future Potential: 5; major-league regular
Realistic Role: High 4; below-average player
Risk Factor/Injury History: High risk; bat needs several grades to play to ceiling.
Bret Sayre's Fantasy Take: This is well within the straw-grasping range, but Castro has the eligibility and bat speed on his side to actually carry fantasy value if he can cross the other side of the gauntlet. Plus, having the potential to steal some bases as well doesn't hurt.
The Year Ahead: Castro will play the 2014 season as a 20-year-old, and after a rollercoaster developmental year in 2013 the young hitter will look to find some stability in the process. He can hit the ball, and that's his carrying tool to the majors. His approach needs a lot of work, and he isn't going to make a name for himself with his defensive skill set, but the bat has a chance to be a legit plus tool, the kind that can eventually carry him all the way to the majors. He's a long way off, but I think this kid is going to hit.
Major league ETA: 2016
Prospects on the Rise
2. INF Steven Fuentes: Betancourt's teammate each of the last two seasons, Fuentes has the raw tools Betancourt lacks. Fuentes is compact with exceptional athleticism, plus speed, a plus arm and good feel for the barrel. He has the ingredients to remain at shortstop but could move to third base if he doesn't settle into the defensive profile. The developmental arc may be bumpier for Fuentes because he is so raw, but he has some of the most impactful tools in the system.
3. RHP Joe Jimenez: A non-drafted free agent out of Puerto Rico, Jimenez was widely considered the top pitcher on the island heading into the 2013 draft. He fell out of the draft after not budging from his lofty bonus demands and the Tigers used a close relationship with the player to sign him away from a college commitment. A physically mature 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Jimenez offers a low-90s sinking fastball, quality slider and some feel for a changeup, allowing him to profile as a mid-rotation inning eater.
Factors on the Farm (Prospects likely to contribute at the ML level in 2014)
2. RHP Justin Miller: The Tigers moved quickly to sign the former Rangers farmhand as a minor-league free agent following the 2013 season. After evaluating his progress as he recovers from surgery, they added Miller to the 40-man roster, and he will be a candidate to contribute out of the bullpen next season. At his best Miller can show an easy plus fastball with a good slider, giving him two distinct offerings that could work against major league hitters.
3. RHP Melvin Mercedes: Another product of the Tigers' Latin American pipeline, Mercedes has already survived Tommy John surgery and put together an impressive 2013 season that included a 1.19 ERA across High-A and Double-A. Mercedes' fastball can work in the 93-95 mph range and has touched 98 mph at times. On top of his impressive velocity, Mercedes has a heavy fastball that is extremely difficult to lift, and when combined with his slider he can induce plenty of weak contact. Mercedes may only pitch in the middle innings in 2014, but he has the potential to develop into a quality setup arm.
Top 10 Talents 25 And Under (born 4/1/88 or later)
While much of the Tigers core talent is in the prime of their respective careers, most are too old to factor into a list of this nature. The Tigers' top four starting pitchers are all between 28 and 30 years old, and several of their everyday position players are in the same range, including the best hitter on the planet in Miguel Cabrera. With such a stout core of relatively young players and an owner willing to carry a hefty payroll, the Tigers don't need to have a ton on a list like this to sustain their excellence.
As one of the premium position player prospects in the game, Nick Castellanos could easily top many organizational talent lists. Boasting an impressive offensive profile, Castellanos is on the verge of helping the Tigers in 2014; whether that assistance comes at third base or in left field remains to be seen.
One of the newest members of the Tigers organization, shortstop Jose Iglesias offers elite-level defense at one of the games toughest positions. That attribute alone is enough to draw consideration near the top of this list, but with some scouts still seeing some modicum of offensive potential in his bat, Igelsias looks like a member of the Tigers' positional core over the long haul.
It seems odd that Rick Porcello is still eligible for an under-25 list, but as one of the most criminally underrated members of the Tigers roster, Porcello has offered at least 170 innings of back-of-the-rotation pitching in four of his five major league seasons. On top of that heavy workload for a young arm, Porcello has improved each season from both statistical and scouting perspectives. He doesn't have the front-of-the-rotation talent once envisioned, but he is undoubtedly a workhorse starter that can help a championship-caliber team.
A supplemental pick in 2010, Drew Smyly filled in as a starter in 2012 and then worked as one of the club's primary setup men in 2013. The Tigers have stated that they plan to move him to the rotation in 2014, but that requires space that does not currently exist. Smyly has the potential to rate higher than Porcello on this list but he has yet to demonstrate Porcello's durability at any level, and the value that presents should not be underestimated.
Jonathon Crawford and James McCann represent quality prospects but are unlikely to be impact major leaguers, meaning their ranking ahead of Bruce Rondon – a potential impact closer – is far from certain. Rondon's late season arm trouble is concerning and his inability to make progress locating his fastball continues to push him further away from his late-game ceiling. If Rondon is healthy next year, he could be a force at the back of the Tigers bullpen, but there are several variables that must be overcome before that happens.
The rest of the Tigers' under-25 list consists of prospects detailed above and there were no other players under consideration for this list. As sad as that may seem, the Tigers won't be crying in their beer as long as they have a roster stacked with Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Anibal Sanchez, Ian Kinsler, Doug Fister, Alex Avila, and Victor Martinez. With that core in place over the next season or two, and with only modest augmenting from the farm, the Tigers will remain one of the favorites to play deep into October. –Mark Anderson
A Parting Thought: There is no denying that the system is in rough shape; only Castellanos is a top 101 player, and outside of a few high-risk types at the lower levels, the farm lacks many candidates capable to achieving such prospect heights.
Special thanks to Mark Anderson for additional input and execution on the "On the Rise" and "Factor on the Farm" categories. The man knows the Tigers system.

This front office watched Miguel Cabrera play third base for two years. I haven't seen Castellanos' actions, but I can't imagine he's a downgrade defensively.

Surprised that Devon Travis is not here. Is size + second base profile or is there more to it?
Dec 02, 2013 05:27 AM
College hitter crushing in the lower minors. I couldn't find many sources that believed in the bat against better arms. He will get overrated on lists because of his numbers, but the scouting doesn't back it up.
Dec 02, 2013 05:54 AM
I have been updating the notes on my dynasty draft list and I am currently entering the top 100 rankings for players I have on my list based on BP and BA rankings (my two most trusted sources). I find it very interesting that Baseball America has Devon Travis listed as the #84 ranked prospect and you don't even have him in this organization's top 10. No judgment. Just very interesting.

So, the Tigers' sixth best prospect is Rule 5 eligible and not on the 40-man roster. Neat
Dec 02, 2013 06:00 AM
He's a very promising arm, but you couldn't stash him on a 25-man roster right now. The projections on the player are actually quite neat. Don't forget that players who sign at age 16 or 17 often become rule 5 eligible before they can escape the lower minors. In this case, its a fault of the process not the prospect.

The offseason is still extremely young. I have every expectation that the Tigers will acquire a considerable talent for either left field, third base, first base or designated hitter. They have plenty of options and outstanding flexibility this offseason thanks to the departure of Prince Fielder.
Dec 02, 2013 06:26 AM
One more while I have you guys....what have you heard about Domingo Leyba?
Dec 02, 2013 06:29 AM
Small guy that lacks tools but has a very good feel for the game. Some feel for the barrel with minimal power. Has some left-side defensive tools but I like him better as a second baseman. Interesting player that should draw more attention on a larger scale next year when he makes his stateside debut in the GCL.

Does Jose Alvarez have a chance to stick at the majors for the whole season or will he be the riding the taxi between Toledo and Detroit all season?
Dec 02, 2013 07:05 AM
For a relative neophyte in scouting terminology, could you please tell me what is "cambio" as used in the comment on Corey Knebel's strengths? I truly enjoy these features even when I don't appreciate the nuances of pitching.

Robbie Ray falls into the 2 or 3 spot I assume?
Dec 02, 2013 18:29 PM
Dec 02, 2013 19:28 PM
Noticed that 5 of the top 10 are 6'4" or taller. Is that just a coincidence or does that reflect the team's method?
Dec 02, 2013 20:00 PM
From a pitching perspective, the Tigers have long pursued big kids with physical projection. That's been their mode of operation for at least 7-8 years now. They have also been pretty consistent in acquiring big guys on the position player side as well. It's certainly part of their strategy and not a coincidence.
Dec 03, 2013 05:15 AM
Probably Handsome
How far did Austin Schotts fall? Did he receive any consideration after his abysmal season, or are things as bad as they look?
Dec 03, 2013 09:52 AM
Devon Travis is a top 5 on every other reputable list that has come out and isn't even in your top 10. Combine that with Endrys Briceno being #6 on your list but no where on anyone else's rankings and that makes this a very questionable list. I understand there are always differences of opinions with prospects but when a list is so far off from the norm, all i gotta say is...you better be right. Because you risk damaging your site's legitimacy if you are wrong.

Avon Dassett Gardening Club
The Club was founded in the late 1970s and has become a social and horticultural meeting place for anyone interested in plants and gardens. Members come not only from Avon Dassett, but also from Fenny Compton and Farnborough and sometimes further afield too. The membership numbers remain around forty despite the inevitable changes from year to year as the population varies.
The Club meets in Farnborough Village Hall for the autumn, winter and spring meetings (Avon Dassett Reading Room is too small to accommodate us). During the summer a variety of garden visits, usually followed by an optional pub supper, and other social evenings are arranged.
Why not come along as a visitor to any of the meetings that interest you? You would be made very welcome.

EA producer details their DLC design process
Dead Space 3's Awakened downloadable content was announced the week the main game was released in stores. DLC announcements made early on in production -- or even right around a game's launch -- typically draw fan rage by the truckloads. The question on everyone's mind when it comes to any sort of downloadable content is always, "Why wasn't this just part of the main game?"
Of course, DLC isn't going anywhere. Ever since horse armor, it's become a way of life for the gaming industry. While we don't know what the practice is like at every studio, Visceral Games at least doesn't start work on its extra content until the main product has been completed.
I spoke with Dead Space producer John Calhiun who informed me that "Dead Space 3 is finished months before it's actually sold, 'cause you have to go through manufacturing, certification, and all that stuff. So in that time we a have team with nothing to do.
"We actually launch and treat our DLC like mini-games. They have their own teams, they're not part of the same budget, they're not part of the same crew. It's a way to keep our guys busy and working, and to support the game after we launch."
Ultimately, Awakened feels different and it should, as a separate team worked on the new content.
"It's definitely not the case where we take a level, and just decide we're not going to include it in the main game," John told me. "This was not even part of Dead Space 3, it was developed by a smaller set of our team that were run with a different producer, and all that stuff. You're looking at something that was wholly created as a standalone product."
Sure, initial planning probably happens during development, but as John told me the actual work on DLC doesn't start up until the main team has wrapped up the full game.
Dead Space 3: Awakened will be out on March 12, 2013 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. For hardcore fans of the series, it's shaping up to be exactly what you wanted out of the game in the first place.

I spent much of the Day of Archaeology in closed windowless rooms discussing more or less weighty matters with other librarians. Mercifully we manage to make some progress on some pressing issues.
In between such things I have been thinking about the effect that open access publishing has on disciplines like archaeology and ancient near Eastern Studies and Classics and Mediterranean Archaeology. The master List of Open Access Journals in Ancient Studies I've been compiling since 2009 on The Ancient World Online now includes includes 1188 titles, and has increased by 238 titles in the past year. That's a big corpus. All three of the institutions I've been affiliated with over the past three decades have made major commitments to open access publishing: the Oriental Institute, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World.
Are scholars reading and citing open access journals? Are scholars seeking out open access publication venues? Are scholars taking advantage of the emerging idea of data journals? Is it significant that more than 4500 souls have subscribed to the Ancient World Online daily email update? Is it significant that most open access publications never makes it into library discovery tools? What will be the effect of this summer's enormously successful Linked Ancient World Data Institute be by the time the second one rolls around in a year? Are people using the Ancient World Linked Data JavaScript Library?
It's now two hot days later and these and other questions are still knocking around my mind.

"Today we see the results of many months of hard work by officers across this county striving toward one common goal: to rid our communities and our county of illegal drugs and those who choose to deal drugs," Haywood Sheriff Greg Christopher announced in a press conference the day the bust went down.
The drug bust didn't target one big ring of drug dealers. But many ran in the same circles, and were what officers called "well-known" drug dealers.
"Our goal was to go after the people actually dealing drugs," said Waynesville Police Chief Bill Hollingsed.
"It is a whole lot more efficient," Christopher added.
The large number of suspects arrested will take a huge bite out of the county's drug supply chain, and hopefully make it harder for drug users to get drugs, Christopher said.
Law enforcement also hope the bust will have a chilling effect on the illicit drug trade in the county.
"Let this be a message to drug dealers in Haywood County. You are not welcome here," Christopher said. "We intend to make it so difficult for drug dealers to do business in Haywood County they will either stop or be forced to go elsewhere."
The charges read like a supermarket shopping list of illegal drugs, from marijuana to crack cocaine. But meth and prescription narcotics were the most commonly trafficked drugs, according to the charges.
The undercover investigation took seven months. In drug roundups like this, timing is critical in the home stretch.
Arrests need to happen in rapid succession — nearly simultaneously — to keep word from spreading among suspects that the cops are coming.
Once drug agents have amassed evidence to bring charges, the bust is planned for the early morning hours when suspects are mostly likely to be home and in bed instead of out and about.
A team of 30 cops and deputies carried out the actual roundup, but the rank-and-file officers didn't know something was afoot until the afternoon beforehand, and even then they were simply told to report at 4 a.m. the next morning.
That's when were they briefed on Operation Dry Erase, divided into half a dozen teams and given their hit lists of suspects to round up before fanning out across the county.
Shortly after dawn, the first batch of handcuffed suspects started rolling in. To handle the volume, a booking line was set up in the sally port of the jail. The suspects shuffled along from one table to the next, stopping to have their rights read, to get frisked, to get mug shots and fingerprints made, and so on.
Not everyone was home when the police went knocking in the early morning hours. For those not picked up in the initial round-up, officers continued searching.
Some trickled in of their own accord in the days that followed, hearing about the warrant for their arrest and deciding to turn themselves in. Some were picked up by officers who kept tabs on the places the suspects were known to frequent.
As of press time Tuesday (Dec. 3), 28 of the total 31 suspects targeted in the roundup had been arrested. The suspects are almost all men and range in age from 17 to 64.
Maggie Police Chief Scott Sutton said that shows there is no one demographic that applies to dealers.
"It goes everywhere," Sutton said.
Pulling together
At a press conference announcing the results of the bust, the police chiefs of Waynesville, Canton and Maggie Valley stood shoulder to shoulder with the Haywood sheriff and his chief deputy.
"It is important to note the different uniforms and patches here," Hollingsed said. "Drug dealers don't distinguish between jurisdictions. It affects all of us the same so it is important to see us working together as a partnership to rid our county of drugs."
To drive home the team effort behind the drug op, officers carrying out the early morning roundup were intentionally paired with officers from other agencies.
"It wasn't Waynesville going after Waynesville's people, or Canton going after Canton's people," said Deputy Heidi Warren, who serves as a public information officer for the sheriff's office. "It was interagency, even in the roundup process."
The law enforcement leaders made such a point of emphasizing their cooperation with each other, it begs the question: Had they been territorial in the past?
While that's not really the case — turf battles aren't much of an issue with the police departments and the sheriff's office in Haywood — they simply hadn't been as united as they could have been. The vital link in cooperation is usually the sheriff's office, since it's the law enforcement arm that spans the whole county.
Christopher was named sheriff less than a year ago after the former sheriff retired mid-post. When vying for the appointment, Christopher pledged to increase collaboration and teamwork with other agencies.
To that end, he tapped a top ranking officer at the Waynesville Police Department to serve as chief deputy at the sheriff's office, bringing the two departments closer.
Christopher also pledged to be more aggressive and proactive in fighting drugs, making it his top priority and dedicating more officers to it.
"By combining our resources we have been able to generate quality work and strong cases aimed at making our communities safer," Christopher said.
