B-Boy Records
B-Boy Records was an important independent hip hop record label formed by Jack Allen and Bill Kamarra in in 1986. Their first release was "South Bronx" by Boogie Down Productions—most famous of the acts associated with the label. B-Boy Records were known primarily for releasing noisy, minimalist hip hop driven by the drum machine rather than the sampler: The Brothers' "I Got Rhythm", Wax Master Torey's "Duck Season", Jewel T's "I Like It Loud" and Levi 167's "Something Fresh to Swing To" (all 1987) are examples. By contrast, the same year's "Just Saying Fresh Rhymes" by Castle D relies on a relatively quiet percussive accompaniment based around the hi-hat, and a disorienting synth melody reminiscent today of G-funk.
Other 1987 releases include The Busy Boys' "Classical", "Feel The Horns" by old school pioneers Cold Crush Brothers, and Sparky D's "Throwdown".
After their first album Criminal Minded, Boogie Down Productions left for Warner Brothers and the label folded soon after. According to writer Peter Shapiro, B-Boy's best release besides those by Boogie Down was Levi 167's aforementioned 1987 single. They did however have late success with "Strong Island" (1988) by JVC Force, which Shapiro calls "one of the most kinetic records in hip-hop history".
A 2002 retrospective of the label, The Best of B-Boy Records, is available on Landspeed Records (not to be confused with Boogie Down Productions' 2001 compilation, Best of B-Boy Records, on the same label).

He has a funny shaped head and can often be found pooping in the back of limos and making fun of Salvatore Manteria. Franco can not read, however he can write, but his writing comes out as a very complex form of hieroglyphics, not unlike chicken scratch. Also Franco is a homosexual male, who, despite his facebook profile, is seeking a man to spend the rest of his life with. Franco likes putting balls on his face. Oh, also he's a robot.

Pumpkin (musician)
Pumpkin (sometimes credited as Eroll Bedward) was the musician, percussionist and band leader behind many old school hip hop tracks for the Profile, Enjoy, and Tuff City record companies.
He worked with several important early hip hop acts from 1979 to 1984, such as Spoonie Gee, Treacherous Three, Funky Four, Grandmaster Caz, Fearless Four, and Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde, as well as a host of more obscure names. His own "King of the Beat" (Profile, 1983) was followed by one of his last productions, Pumpkin And The Profile All-Stars' "Here Comes the Beat" (Profile, 1984).
In the words of writer David Toop, "In the early days of rap on wax, it was musicians such as Pumpkin ... who defined a new musical style."
A collection of his work for Tuff City was released under his stage name in 1995 as The Tuff City Sessions on the retrospective label Old School Flava.

According to Spybot: Search and Destroy, Premium Search is a trojan horse virus that "gets installed in background and registers itself to the system start and winlogon. It has multiple exe files and dlls with variable names running in background which protect each other and connect to the internet in background. The hosts file gets hijacked and all search sites for example from yahoo, google and msn are getting redirected to PremiumSearch. The computer gets slowed down and the security settings get compromised. The trojan horse also uses rootkit functionality to hide some of its parts. Removal of this trojan horse will require a reboot. This trojan horse is potentially easy to fix. Sources99.241.32.175 (talk) 05:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Amsterdam Mohawks
The Amsterdam Mohawks are an NYCBL summer league wooden bat team located in Upstate New York. One of the top franchises in the league, the Mohawks import some of the best collegiate talent in the country to come and play ball at beautiful, historic Shuttleworth Park, in Amsterdam, NY.
History
The New York Collegiate Baseball League is a fourteen team summer league played throughout upstate New York. In addition to Amsterdam, the NYCBL consists of teams located in Bolivar, Wellsville, Watertown, Geneva, Hornell, Little Falls, Rochester, Glens Falls, Saratoga and Bennington, VT. Split into two divisions, an Eastern and a Western, the NYCBL is a member of the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball. The league is one of the elite wood bat summer leagues that is sponsored by Major League Baseball. To be eligible to play in the NYCBL, a player must have completed at least one year of college and must still have at least one year of playing eligibility remaining. He must also be enrolled full-time at a college or university. Beginning in early June, each team in the league will play a 42 game schedule, which will wind down at the end of July.
The Mohawks, who were located in Schenectady prior to 2003, have won championships in 1988 under then head coach, and also former team owner/president Bob Bellizzi, again in 2003 under Bill Consiglio and again in 2004 under Nicholas Enriquez. In 2002, Dave Fields, led the team to a regular season title but lost the deciding game of the championship series to the Hornell Dodgers. Again in 2005, John Thomson guided the Mohawks to a regular season crown but was eliminated in the playoffs. In addition, there have been over 80 former Mohawks who have signed professional baseball contracts, including Houston Astros phenom Hunter Pence (Texas-Arlington) who played for the Mohawks in 2002, Brendan Harris (William and Mary) of the Minnesota Twins, Valentino Pascucci (U. Of Oklahoma) who is currently playing AAA ball for the New Orleans Zephyrs, an affiliate of the New York Mets, and Tim Christman (Siena) who played major league ball with the Colorado Rockies.
The Mohawks have grown into one of the top places to play summer baseball in America. The players will note that the game atmosphere at Shuttleworth Park is the best in the NYCBL and with large enthusiastic crowds and getting the kids involved, after seeing a game, you would see their point.
The league itself has had hundreds of former players go on to play professional baseball including a few stars of today’s game. Tim Hudson of the Atlanta Braves, Brad Lidge of the Philadelphia Phillies, Steve Kline formerly of the San Francisco Giants, Tim Naehring formerly of the Boston Red Sox, Scott Saurbeck formerly of the Oakland Athletics, Clay Bellinger of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, as well as Matt Stairs and John McDonald of the Toronto Blue Jays, are all alumni of the league.
The league will continue to have current college stars and future professional players in it. Make sure you come out to the ballpark to catch some of the exciting brand of baseball that they have to offer. See you at the game!!!

Previous Owner
Team President Bob Bellizzi, who passed away May 7, 2006, had been involved with college baseball for over twenty-five years and believed that Amsterdam was a perfect match for the Mohawks and the NYCBL. Before his passing he was thrilled with the success that the Mohawks had in their seasons in Amsterdam. "The combination of a sports minded city and an operator (Brian Spagnola) who was born and raised in Amsterdam, makes this a great place to play summer baseball...it was our intention to bring a quality level of collegiate baseball to Shuttleworth Park and provide entertainment and excitement throughout the season and that is what we did...the sense of cooperation and support exhibited by the community only confirmed our belief that Amsterdam was the ideal home for the Mohawk Baseball Club..."
Bellizzi, the head coach at The College of Saint Rose from 1978 until his passing, had over the past quarter century, developed the Golden Knights into a national powerhouse at the NCAA Division II level. Saint Rose had made the NCAA Northeast Division II Regionals in 1994, 1995, 1997, and 2000. His 2000 team reached their ultimate goal by advancing to the NCAA Division II World Series in Montgomery, Alabama. Prior to that, at the NAIA level, Saint Rose made regional appearances in 1990 and 1991 and went to the 1990 NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.
Bellizzi boasted a staggering career record of 720-367-2 at Saint Rose and has enjoyed success at the club, NAIA, and NCAA levels. He had dozens of Saint Rose players continue their baseball careers at the professional level, including 1993 grad Glen Barker, who played for the Houston Astros at the major league level from 1999-2001. From 1988-1990, Bellizzi also guided the Schenectady Mohawks to a remarkable
New Ownership and Staff
Brian Spagnola has been president and general manager of the Amsterdam Mohawks since 2003. As a lifelong Amsterdam resident, he has dedicated himself to making Shuttleworth Park into a top venue for baseball in the area. "We have had tremendous support here in Amsterdam. The local media, politicians, and community as a whole gave us a great deal of assistance in helping to achieve what we did. We have only just begun, however, in the process of updating Shuttleworth Park. It is a thrill for me to cotinue to see Shuttleworth Park completely filled with fans, enjoying a great baseball game."
As a result of his vast coaching experiences at the collegiate level, Spagnola is familiar with the level of play along with the duties and responsibilities of running a quality collegiate program. He has served as an assistant coach under Bob Bellizzi at The College of Saint Rose from 1991 to 2003 and also was the head coach of the Schenectady Mohawks from 1991-1993. In that time, he posted a 63-57 coaching record. His 1991 team had on it eight players who later went on to play professional baseball. He also served as an assistant coach with the Mohawks 1990 and 1994. He is currently the second winningest coach in Mohawk history. In 2003, he stepped away from Saint Rose to become the head coach at his alma mater, Amsterdam High School, where in just a few short years he has turned the program into one of the finest in the areas and has made Amsterdam baseball a giant success with drawing regular crowds of over 300 fans per game.
David Dittman, CEO, joined the Mohawks in 2007 and in one short season was instrumental in helping double attendance figures and create a more business friendly environment with the Mohawks organization. Dittmann previously owned the Newport Gulls and helped start of Vermont Mountaineers of the New England Collegiate Baseball League where he was instrumental in the success of both teams. He also owned the Peninsula Pilots of the Coastal Plains League. All three of these teams have led their respective leagus in attendance during Dittmann's tenure.
Earlier, Dittmann owned an array of minor league team baseball teams, including the New Haven Ravens AA team. He grew up around baseball as his father was the corporate attorney for the Philadelphia Phillies for years.
In January 2007, he climbed Mt. Kilamanjaro and in 2008 he plans to also climb Mt. Everest.

First Priority Music
First Priority Music was an important hip hop label of the late 1980s and early 1990s which has diversified and found success in recent years with releases in contemporary R&B and country music genres, among others. A small independent, it formed successful distribution relationships first with Atlantic Records, and latterly with Jive/Zomba. Its most well-known artists from both eras are hip hop acts Audio Two and MC Lyte, and singers Eamon and Jason Downs.
First Priority was founded by Nat Robinson in 1987, to release music by his son Kirk and his daughter Lana, better known as Milk Dee of Audio Two, and MC Lyte, respectively. FPM's first release was Audio Two's "Make It Funky"/"Top Billin'", which was successful enough to secure the label a distribution deal with Atlantic Records. The subsequent re-release of "Top Billin'" was a hip hop hit of lasting impact. MC Lyte's debut album Lyte as a Rock (1988) was another success, and is today widely regarded as a classic release. It was followed by her well-received records, Eyes on This (1989) and Act Like You Know (1991). "Ruffneck", from 1993's Ain't No Other, was the first gold single by a solo female rap artist. Other members of the hip hop roster of the period include Positive K, Michie Mee, Alliance, Kings Of Swing, and Barsha. A sampler featuring these artists, The First Priority Music Family: Basement Flavor, was released by First Priority Music in 1990.
Recent years saw releases by Jason Downs, and the hugely successful 2004 single by Eamon, "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)", released through Jive/Zomba.
