|The former French colony of Ubangi-Shari became the Central African Republic upon independence in 1960. After three tumultuous decades of misrule - mostly by military governments - civilian rule was established in 1993 and lasted for one decade. In March, 2003 President Ange-Felix PATASSE was deposed in a military coup led by General Francois BOZIZE, who established a transitional government. Elections held in 2005 affirmed General BOZIZE as president; he was reelected in 2011 in voting widely viewed as flawed. The government still does not fully control the countryside, where pockets of lawlessness persist. The militant group the Lord's Resistance Army continues to destabilize southeastern Central African Republic, and several rebel groups joined together in early December 2012 to launch a series of attacks that left them in control of numerous towns in the northern and central parts of the country. The rebels - who are unhappy with BOZIZE's government - participated in peace talks in early January 2013 which resulted in a coalition government including the rebellion's leadership. In March 2013, the coalition government dissolved, rebels seized the capital, and President BOZIZE fled the country. Rebel leader Michel DJOTODIA assumed the presidency, reappointed Nicolas TIANGAYE as Prime Minister, and established a transitional government on 31 March. On 13 April 2013, the National Transitional Council affirmed DJOTODIA as President.

Subsistence agriculture, together with forestry and mining, remains the backbone of the economy of the Central African Republic (CAR), with about 60% of the population living in outlying areas. The agricultural sector generates more than half of GDP. Timber and diamonds account for most export earnings, followed by cotton. Important constraints to economic development include the CAR's landlocked position, a poor transportation system, a largely unskilled work force, and a legacy of misdirected macroeconomic policies. Factional fighting between the government and its opponents remains a drag on economic revitalization. Since 2009 the IMF has worked closely with the government to institute reforms that have resulted in some improvement in budget transparency, but other problems remain. The government's additional spending in the run-up to the election in 2011 worsened CAR's fiscal situation. Distribution of income is extraordinarily unequal. Grants from France and the international community can only partially meet humanitarian needs. In 2012 the World Bank approved $125 million in funding for transport infrastructure and regional trade, focused on the route between CAR's capital and the port of Douala in Cameroon. After a two year lag in donor support, the IMF's first review of CAR's extended credit facility for 2012-15 praised improvements in revenue collection but warned of weak management of spending.

Overview: A scoring combo guard who has yet to live up to the expectations that came with being drafted 7th overall and traded for Brandon Roy. Spends a lot of minutes at the point and acts as a shoot-first facilitator of Minnesotas offense. Has good size and strength for the point guard position, and is probably more aptly described as smooth than overly athletic. Excellent shooter from standstill positions or off the dribble. Relies very heavily on his jump-shot and thus has never been known as a particularly efficient offensive option. Has a big heart and likes to take responsibilities in the clutch. Came from a tough upbringing and has a swagger to his game similar to many NYC-area guards. Still trying to find his niche in the league. Must improve his defense, playmaking skills and ability to get the basket. Clearly not a great fit in the backcourt next to Rashad McCants, as both are much more comfortable as jump-shooters than they are as slashers. Can be very effective in the right system, but needs to find the right coach and teammates.
Offense: Primarily a jump-shooter, especially after coming back from a knee problem that sidelined him for over half of his sophomore campaign. Relies heavily on the pick and roll as a huge source of offensive production. Shifty player with strong hesitation moves. Capable of punishing players that go underneath the screen, and does a solid job finding the open man passing off the dribble. Doesnt get to the basket at a good enough clip, does a poor job finishing once there and draws fouls at a fairly poor rate. More likely to pull up from mid-range than he is to go all the way to the basket. Ball-handling skills are good with his right hand, but defenders like to force him to his left, where he is noticeably slower and less effective. Not super explosive off the dribble, struggles to turn the corner at times and is not an incredible leaper finishing around the rim. Doesnt take the ball strong enough. Like many young players still adapting to the length and athleticism of NBA big men, needs to do a better job seeking out contact and not getting cute with his finishes. Can play off the ball, but is more effective with it. Teams half-court offense tends to lack some fluidity with him at the helm at times. Not a selfish player and is capable of finding the open man, but has a tendency to over-dribble at times.
Defense: An average defender at best, despite his superior size and strength at the point guard position. Not particularly intense or fundamentally sound. Has a laid back demeanor that serves him well offensively, but makes him look lackadaisical on the other end. Lateral quickness appears to be average when attempting to stay in front of very athletic slashing guards, uses his hands too much and often gets caught flat-footed on the perimeter. Struggles in particular on the pick and roll, showing just awareness and not being physical enough trying to fight through screens. Gets posted up when attempting to defend shooting guards in a small backcourt, and often lets players have his way with him down there. Like everyone on his team, needs to make significant improvements on this end of the floor, but definitely has the tools to do so if he puts his mind to it.
Though Foye didnt have much to prove in the Summer League, he may have shown the most NBA-significant development of any player in attendance. After having a relatively difficult time adapting to the NBA 3-point line during his rookie season, Foyes 3-point stroke looked strikingly different in the Summer League. In contrast to how he shot last season, Foye now shoots the 3 with significantly less elevation, and the result has been more consistency. It is clear that he put in a lot work in the offseason, and it appears that it is paying off.
Foye didnt show a great deal of new things in his game, but his dramatically improved outside shot will turn him into a completely different player offensively. Last season, Foye could be found pulling up off of screens from deep, yielding very mixed results. During the Summer League, Foye hit a few outside shots coming off of screens, but made a killing spotting up and knocking down catch-and-shoot threes. Although he wont be receiving passes from Kevin Garnett next season, it is only a matter of time until Al Jefferson garners doubles teams down low, opening Foye up on the perimeter. Now that defenders have to respect him on the catch, Foye should have significantly less trouble getting past him man, which will allow him to utilize the floor skills he is known for. Not to perpetuate the comparison, but Foyes outside jumper now looks eerily similar to that of Chauncey Billups.
Foye will come into this season as something of a go-to-guy for Minnesota, as he will probably be asked to carry quite a bit of the load offensively. For this reason, Foye will have every opportunity to develop the consistency and poise that he will need to be an upper-level NBA point guard. Foye didnt put on much of a show passing the ball, but he was coupled in the Timberwolves backcourt with Rashad McCants, who put in a significant amount of time running the point. Unlike many of the developments here in the Summer League, those that Foye has made will translate to the NBA immediate if he maintains his consistency.

Jonathan Givony: It seems like you have a lot of workouts underneath your belt already. Maybe more than anyone else in this room so far. How many have you had so far six?
Randy Foye: Eight.
Jonathan Givony: So is that the strategy? Just leave no stone unturned? Make sure there is no doubt in anyones mind as to where you should be drafted? A lot of guys here havent done even one workout yet.
Randy Foye: My main focus was just to get out there and start working out for teams and show them what Ive got. I didnt want to just wait around because obviously Im not a [smiling] Tyrus Thomas or LaMarcus Aldridge so I just wanted to get out there and start working out for certain teams to show them what Ive got. I just wanted to show them that I am in shape and everything.
Jonathan Givony: What have you been able to show teams that they havent seen already during the season?
Randy Foye: A lot of people tend to question my point guard skills. But once they see my workouts and see how I handle the ball and then watch more tapes to see how I handle the ball in game-situations, they see that I am more of a point guard than a two. I think thats something that has been coming out a lot now that he is more of a point guard.
Jonathan Givony: Has that been an emphasis for you in two on two stuff showing that you are point guard .people know that you can score, but are you trying to show the other stuff you can do?
Randy Foye: Well when I play, I stick to what I can do. I am a point guard, I think pass first and shot second. But obviously I had to adjust to what my team needed me to do.
Jonathan Givony: How did you prepare specifically for the NBA draft? With a trainer?
Randy Foye: I trained with a trainer. I took two weeks off to get myself back into shape. Getting a lot of shots up, working on my ball-handling and working on certain testing that I know I would have to do.
Jonathan Givony: Who has impressed you the most so far? Youve had eight workouts that can be as many as 30 guys youve worked out with. Has anyone impressed you in particular that youve gone up against?
Randy Foye: J.J. Redick. Every time me and J.J. played on a team weve played well together. A lot of people look at J.J. as being just a shooter, but he is more than just a shooter. He can do other things. He did everything pretty well.
Jonathan Givony: What do you see your range being as far as the draft goes?
Randy Foye: I think that all the teams Ive been working out for. Anywhere from 4 to 14. But it doesnt really matter where I am drafted as long as its the right fit.
Reporter: What is the right fit?
Randy Foye: I think I can play at two different paces. I can play up and down, and I can also play in the half-court, in the pick and roll. I think that any team fits my style of play.
Reporter: Talking to some scouts here in Orlando, they are kind of torn as to whether you are a point guard or a shooting guard. How do you see yourself?
Randy Foye: I see myself as a point guard. Its kind of hard, because a lot of people that havent seen me, theyve havent seen me handling the ball and controlling the ball at the end of games. I look at that. Thats a point guard. I am making big-time decisions. Im not just taking shots, Im making decisions when the game is on the line. I can play any position. I can adjust to any position. You play me at the 3, I will adjust to it. Whatever the team needs me to do. I dont believe in a pure point guard or a pure shooting guard I am a basketball player. A guard.
Jonathan Givony: The four guard system at Villanova do you think that helped you show the scouts what you can do or did that hurt you?
Randy Foye: I think it helped me. Because Kyle played the point guard at the beginning of the game, and I was the backup. Kyle played 27 minutes a game, so those 13 minutes, when he wasnt on the floor, I was the point guard. That might not seem like a lot now, but when you look at my assist to turnover ratio when he wasnt on the floor, it was pretty good.
Jonathan Givony: How did the measurements go for you? You are listed at 6-4 did you measure out at 6-4 in shoes?
Randy Foye: No. In shoes I am 6-3. They just made it look good at Villanova [laughs].
Jonathan Givony: Seems like there was a lot of that going on at Villanova this year, huh?
Randy Foye: I am close to 6-4. I worked it out I was like this far [holds fingers very close apart] [laughs]. It wasnt even an inch. It was like right there at the top. 6-3 and
Jonathan Givony: Get on your tippy-toes a little? [laughs]
Randy Foye: Na, na not at all.
Reporter: Do you think there is too much made of this size thing, about whether or not you are big enough to be a 2-guard? It seems like you are just a basketball player.
Randy Foye: I dont see myself as a 2-guard. Like I said, I play point. I know I can play point, and point guard is my true position. I see myself as a basketball player that is able to play any position.
Reporter: So you are saying that size doesnt really matter.
Randy Foye: Its all about having heart, and toughness. You can have the biggest guy, but if he doesnt have any heart, there is no use for it.
Jonathan Givony: Do you think that your background growing up without your parents how has that molded you into the guy you are right now terms of toughness and heart that seems like something that might have had an impact on the player you are right now.
Randy Foye: Im just humble. Everything that happened in my past just humbled me. I am the same person. I dont think that anything is going to be able to change me. Money celebrity status you cant change me. I know where I came from and I know what it takes to get to certain situations. Thats being a blue-collar hard worker and person. And thats one of my biggest things, just not to change, what happened in the past just try to stay the same, just try to be honest.
A prototypical NYC-style combo guard, Randy Foye is considered one of the best pure scorers in college basketball. If deemed to have serious point guard potential for the NBA, Foye has excellent size for the position at 6-3. He is a very smooth athlete, possessing a couple of different gears he can go to, solid leaping ability, good strength and excellent body control in the lane.
Offensively, he is an attractive prospect because of how versatile and advanced a scorer he is. Foye is first and foremost a slasher, mostly thanks to his outstanding ball-handling skills and the way he can create space for himself to get his shot off. He is absolutely fearless taking the ball to the basket, and finishes strong in the toughest of situations, even with contact. Foye has all the crafty moves needed to create offense for himself, using hesitation moves, a strong crossover, excellent footwork, heads fakes and the threat of his perimeter shot. Hes terrific at changing gears and keeping his man on his heels, showing excellent improvisation skills and never being predictable in what hes going to throw at you next. His first step isnt incredible, but his 2nd are 3rd are much better than what you would expect, as once he gets going he just overpowers his way into the lane.
Once in the lane, Foye has excellent body control and really knows how to use his strength to his advantage, contorting himself, using the glass and scoring even in the most awkward of situations. His excellent leaping ability helps him out greatly here, as he hangs in the air for extended periods and can finish in a variety of ways. He gets to the free throw line over five times a game and never shies away from challenging players much bigger than him in the paint.
One of Foyes biggest strengths has to be considered his mid-range game. He has no problem stopping on a dime after creating his own shot and elevating for a smooth looking jump-shot, whether hes leaning in, fading away or using unorthodox floaters and runners to score from 8-10 feet out. Hes also very good coming off screens for the catch and shoot. Foye consistently surprises you here with his ability to knock down tough shots with ease, both spotting up and after creating off the bounce.
A part of his game that appeared to have improved greatly this year is 3-point shooting, as he was shooting right around 40% for the first few months of the season. Being more of a volume shooter, he regressed significantly down the stretch, but still showed the ability to knock shots down especially when he has space on the perimeter and isnt forcing the issue. Unlike from mid-range, hes significantly better on the catch and shoot than he is off the dribble, and has shown deep range here on a number of occasions this season. If a shot he thinks he can make is available for him, Foye will pull the trigger with no hesitation whatsoever, for better or for worse. Hell never be the type of player for whom confidence will ever be an issue.
Defensively, Foye is usually just as aggressive as he is on the offensive end, possessing nice footwork and good lateral quickness. Hes willing and able to get right in his mans grill to play tough pressure defense, stick his nose in for the charge, or come up with his fair share of steals thanks to his hands and anticipation skills. His strength and tenacity help him out greatly in this area too, as hes the type of player that just will not be backed down without a fight. This shows up in the rebounding department as well, where he is extremely aggressive and has kept his undersized team in many games solely off the way he would help take care of the glass. This is where his toughness and leaping ability really become evident, as he likes to sky straight into the air off two feet and rip a rebound away from anyone regardless of their size.
Foye by all accounts has a winners mentality and appears likely to carve out a niche for himself for a long time in the NBA thanks to his aggressive style of play, his excellent attitude and the heart he shows on the court. His upbringing was not the easiest, growing up in a rough part of Newark, losing his father at age 3 and his mother at age 6, but this appears to have only made him a stronger person. His intangibles appear to be solid, particularly his leadership skills.
Despite being listed at 6-4 starting his senior year, its not easy to find many people who actually believe hes that tall. The only question is, how much shorter? That wouldnt be a problem if Foye showed more point guard skills, but he doesnt, so this is a legitimate concern.
Foye is a scorer first and foremost, not a shooter and certainly not a playmaker. He is not a very creative passer, showing average court vision in half-court sets and having a tendency to slash to the hoop with his head down. Although he can do basic things like drive and dish or hit the open man coming off a curl, he is infinitely better creating shots for himself than he is for others. Its not that hes selfish. Thats just the type of player he is, as well as Villanovas style of play, and his role within the offense.
Hes the type of player that is very dominant offensively, needing the ball in his hands excessively to make things happen, but at times showing poor decision making skills in the process by forcing the issue, particularly in his shot selection. When his shot is on then hes absolutely money, but when hes not
Although he is certainly a pure scorer, calling him a streaky pure scorer would probably be a more accurate way to describe him. Hes regularly shown the ability to explode for 10-12 points in just a few minutes this year, but rarely has been able to consistently pace himself throughout an entire game. Nowhere was this more evident than in the NCAA tournament, where in nearly every outing he would score 20 points in one half (the first or second) and then be almost completely silent the next (or previous one).
Something that was touched on in the strengths section is his perimeter shooting ability. Foye is about as streaky as they come here too, coming up with numerous 1 of 8, 2 of 8, and 1 of 6 type stinkers from beyond the arc this season that absolutely killed his percentages. He is much better on the catch and shoot, but dont let anyone tell him that since hell take contested fadeaway threes off the dribble all the time, indeed averaging nearly eight 3-point attempts a game despite his 35% average from this range.
Defensively, Foye doesnt have a whole lot of experience guarding point guards, as hes the biggest of Villanovas 4 guards that all start and play over 28 minutes a game. Hes been asked to defend small forwards and power forwards this year much more than he has point guards or shooting guards. Although his potential looks good in this area, hell probably be asked to show plenty of this part of his game throughout the draft process.
Foye plays in the toughest conference in America in terms of competition night in and night out, the Big East, and was named player of the year in the conference as the 2nd leading scorer (after Quincy Douby). His team Villanova had a fantastic season, being ranked in the top 5 almost the entire year and making it to the Elite Eight where they lost to Florida. On the season Foye averaged 20.5 points per game, 5.8 rebounds and 3 assists compared with 2.2 turnovers. He shot 41% from the field, 35% from beyond the 3-point arc and 79% from the free throw line. Foye had a bit of a shaky NCAA tournament (see links: NCAA tournament articles) shooting the ball (31/80 FG, 9/32 3P), but much of this has to do with the fact that two of Novas starting guards, Kyle Lowry and Mike Nardi, were almost complete non-factors throughout the tournament and Foye was forced to shoulder the offensive load. This is part of the reason he only had 4 assists compared with 11 turnovers in the Wildcats 3 crucial games before exiting.
Theres no question that Foye is a fantastic college basketball player and a very likely candidate to carve out a niche in the NBA for a long time. The only question is what role that will be in, and therefore how highly do NBA teams picking in the 1st round value that in this draft. What teams will likely ask themselves is whether he can be a starter, and if so, at what position? His skills seem to be better suited for an excellent 6th man type who can come off the bench and put up points in a hurry without having to worry too much about running his teams offense, but the extreme lack of legit point guards in this draft means that teams might decide to label him a playmaker and hope they can teach him how to run their offense and get everyone involved. If teams think he has starting PG potential, he is likely to be drafted anywhere from 8-14, but if projected as more of a reserve, look for him to go anywhere from 10-20.
On the flip side, although he does not fit the mold of your typical point guard or shooting guard prospect in terms of his combination of size and skills, that's not as bad a thing as it used to be. Foye does appear to fit the direction of what the NBA is rapidly turning towards with the rule changes that eliminated hand-checking and made the life of scoring guards infinitely easier. Its reached the point that nearly half the teams in the NBA have gone towards playing two smaller guards on the perimeter (usually one point and one combo) for at least parts of games, which forces defenses to change their game plan and has made the term combo guard much less of an insult that it was in the past. The success of combo guards like Dwyane Wade and Gilbert Arenas at the forefront, followed by players like Mike James, Jason Terry, Ben Gordon, Cuttino Mobley, Jamal Crawford, Juan Dixon, Fred Jones, Eddie House, Salim Stoudamire, Charlie Bell and many others backs this up. If GMs and especially coaches see potential in Foye to be a 6th man or 3rd guard in this mold that can come off the bench and allow his team to change the flow of the game with his offense, especially right away considering how polished he is already, his draft stock and tailor made role in the NBA will be secure. If they view him as a tweener who will have to be converted into a point, he could run into some problems.
Randy Foye again was the only player who showed up for Villanova, but this time it wasnt enough for a victory. He came out and scored points early, posting 7 of his teams first 12 in a variety of ways. As he has proved throughout the NCAA Tournament, he possesses a nice combination of shooting and slashing ability with very smooth athleticism to boot. On the defensive end, Foye was left guarding post players much of the time due to the 4 guard lineup that his team runs. He held his position about as well as he could be expected to, and collected 7 rebounds against the bigger Florida front court, once again showing just how tough a player he is.
The main reason Foye didnt move himself into the stock up category is the fact that foul trouble allowed him an audition at the point guard position. He has played off the ball for most of the season, and a lot of people project him into the NBA as somebody who can play both the point guard and shooting guard positions. Foul trouble gave him this opportunity, but Foye bombed his audition miserably. He didnt create any ball movement, instead keeping the ball in his hands excessively and more than once took contested shots early in the shot clock. For the game, Foye couldnt muster up even one assist to compliment the great scoring numbers. Foye finished up his college career by carrying his team, but also displaying some deficiencies that cause a bit of concern at the next level, especially once hell undoubtedly measure out shorter than his listed height of 6-4.
]Without Randy Foye, it is safe to say that Villanova would have had no shot whatsoever at beating Boston College. As hes had the tendency to do with his overall streakiness throughout the year, Foye started off the game cold, and didnt get his first field goal until there was less than 5 minutes remaining in the first half. Most of his early shot attempts were outside shots that just werent falling, and Foye appeared to be playing passive. With the half winding down, he decided to start driving to the hoop, and became much more aggressive. From there, Foye took the game over, at one point scoring 16 points in a row for Villanova over a 14 minute span. Late in the second half with the game on the line, he continued to carry the load for his team. Foye scored the last 6 points in regulation, as well as 5 more in overtime to capture the victory.
Against BC Foye displayed why he is such a valuable commodity, and the most important of Villanovas guards. His combination of shooting and slashing is very rare for a player who plays such good defense to boot. Foye proved today that he could score taking the ball all the way to the hoop as well from outside the three point line, but the majority of his points were scored with an advanced mid-range game which included a number of floaters and jumpers over taller players. He also used his penetration ability to get open looks for his teammates when he was able to draw extra defenders his way.
In the NBA, Foye projects as a combo guard, and it would help him if he could show at least somewhat of an ability to run an offense like a point guard would. His shooting and mid-range game will translate to the pros immediately, however, and the team that drafts him will be getting a guy who can contribute right away. Randy Foye has at least one game remaining to continue to show scouts what an outstanding competitor he is, and if he can play again like he did against BC, his value will continue to rise.
Some might be surprised to not find a 24 point performance in the Stock Up column, but considering where Foye is projected to be drafted as well as the position he is expected to play in the NBA, his showing in this game confirmed many of the concerns scouts have about his potential at the next level.
Foye actually started off the game quite well, knocking down a number of contested 3-pointers created for him by Villanovas guards, as well showing outstanding tenacity and ball-handling skills slashing his way into the lane and finishing strong. He kept Villanova in the game in the first half mostly with what he did off the dribble, creating repeatedly and bullying his way into the lane while getting to the rim at will. He scored 18 points in the first 15 minutes of the game, and then capped off his outstanding first half by knocking down an extremely difficult jump-shot as time expired. Throughout the first half Foye looked strictly like a shooting guard, though, not getting anyone else involved in the game, driving with his head down and showing absolutely no point guard skills even when he was manning the position.
He was almost silent in the 2nd half, scoring only 2 points until he came up with a huge bucket off a slashing move in the paint with just over a minute left in the game. Not only did Foye look like a shooting guard in this game with his single assist compared with 7 turnovers, he looked like an extremely streaky one at that. Two huge free throws that he missed with 35 seconds remaining had the potential to end his fantastic career at Villanova on an extremely sour note, but his fellow streaky teammate Allan Ray would not let that happen by taking care of business over the remainder of the contest.

Today in news that should please Patrick Stewart, scientists have made big advancements in creating and containing antimatter, the substance needed to power a theoretical starship. Researchers at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, say they have created 38 atoms of antihydrogen and kept them stable for one tenth of a second, more than any other lab. If that doesn't sound impressive, keep in mind that antimatter and matter, like Highlanders, naturally destroy each other as soon as they come into contact.
"One of the main uses of antimatter would be a starship," Michio Kaku, physicist and author of Physics of the Impossible, told PC Mag in an interview. "Because you want concentrated energy. And you can't get more concentrated than antimatter."
While starships are a long ways off, scientists do think that studying antimatter could provide insights into the creation of the universe. When the universe was formed, it is believed that matter and antimatter both existed, but matter destroyed antimatter.
Kaku believes that antimatter could prove to be the ultimate rocket fuel because it is 100 percent efficient, or all of its mass is converted into energy. Producing large quantities of it is currently impossible, but eventually it may be possible. "These machines were not specifically designed to create antimatter. These machines are all-purpose machines. But with time, price goes down, mass production, better technology, and dedicated machines we could reduce costs considerably," he said.
Other scientists are not as optimistic about our chances at antimatter space travel, but few deny the appeal of studying these unique atoms. CERN's next goal is to create a beam of antimatter.

Took another look at my business plan draft last week, and it looked pretty pathetic. Spent the weekend rewriting it, then put it up here. That's right: first time I've ever seen a non-proprietary, openly-published business plan. Guess that proves how unfit I am to be CEO of anything.
I plan on writing this up further, spreading the word a bit. It's an interesting business model. Since I wrote the Free World piece, I've been looking for some way to convince end-users to finance free software development. While the business model is mostly brand-managed service. my plan is to break out a Development Fund line item on top of the usual service bills, to invest in continued future development. Kind of like a tip, or surtax, depending on one's point of view. But since it's a tip on top of professional services, I think there's a much better chance of paying it.
Many other interesting points. The idea of a Linux box in every house, with everything hooked up to it, through free software, should be pretty strategic.
Speaking of strategic, I've almost finished reading Ken Auletta's World War 3.0. The trial coverage is quite interesting, although I get the sense that the Justice Dept. acted much like they did with Al Capone (the guy's evil, so let's convict him of something, anything), which in turn confuses MS (who like Nixon is guilty of so much the only safe course is to deny everything). However, in the lulls between the trial coverage, we get long, slow background on MS's myriad business deals, along with yet another biography of Gates. In this sludge there are traces of what MS has in store for the home user -- the ignorant chattel of the consciousness industry.

Since 1997, incoming freshmen at ASU have been asked to read a book as part of their orientation to Appalachian State University. By participating in the Common Reading Program, students establish a common experience with other new students.
This year's selection is A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah. Ishmael Beah was born in 1980 in the nation of Sierra Leone. While Beah was still a young boy, his country descended into a horrific civil war, and Beah was forced to flee his village when rebels brutally attacked. Beah was picked up as a young teenager by the government army. While still at heart a gentle boy, he was nevertheless pressed into service as a government guerrilla soldier.

Jim Grimsley, known for his work as a novelist and playwright, will speak July 16 at Appalachian State University.
His talk, sponsored by Belk Library and Information Commons, begins at 4 p.m. in room 114 in the library. The event is free and the public is invited. A reception and book signing will follow his presentation.
His book "How I Shed My Skin: Unlearning the Racist Lessons of a Southern Childhood," published in April by Algonquin Books, has been called "a powerful meditation on race" by former U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey, and "a sensitive memoir that probes the past to discover what and how Grimsley learned about race, equality and democracy 'from the good white people' in his family and community," according to Kirkus Reviews.
Grimsley also is the author of the science fiction novels "The Ordinary" and "The Last Green Tree," and the dark comedy "Forgiveness."
His other novels include "Winter Birds," a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award; "Dream Boy," winner of the Award for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Literature; "My Drowning," a Lila-Wallace-Reader's Digest Writer's Award winner; and "Comfort and Joy," a Lambda Literary Award finalist.
He has written 11 full-length and four one-act plays, including "Mr. Universe," "The Lizard of Tarsus," "White People" and "The Existentialists." A collection of his plays, "Mr. Universe and Other Plays," was published by Algonquin in 1998, and was a Lambda Literary Award finalist in drama.
Grimsley has been playwright-in-residence at 7Stages Theatre of Atlanta since 1986 and was playwright-in-residence at About Face Theatre of Chicago from 2000-04. In 1988 he was awarded the George Oppenheimer Award for Best New American Playwright for his play "Mr. Universe." He was also awarded the first-ever Bryan Prize for Drama, presented by the Fellowship of Southern Writers in 1993 for distinguished achievement in playwriting.

You can try it out now and tell us what you think. We are planning on going live at the end of June.
Tom Higgins, who has been called NASCAR's storyteller, will talk about his sports writing career June 12 at Appalachian State University. Higgins wrote about motorsports for the Charlotte Observer for more than three decades.
Higgins' talk is sponsored by Belk Library and Information Commons. The free event will begin at 4 p.m. in room 421 in the library. A reception will follow.
The fourth recipient of the Squier-Hall Award for NASCAR Media Excellence, Higgins was honored during NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony in January and featured in an exhibit at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte.
The Burnsville native began his career as a sports writer in the late 1950s, covering sports for the Canton Enterprise after graduating from Brevard College, where he played baseball and basketball.
He later joined the Asheville Citizen-Times, and said in an interview with the paper that, "Once I got to Asheville and heard the clacking of those teletype machines and was part of the excitement of putting out a daily newspaper, I was hooked."
His first auto race was at the Asheville Weaverville Speedway.
Higgins is the author of "Racing into the Past," which covers the early years of NASCAR, "NASCAR Greatest Races: The 25 Most Thrilling Races in NASCAR History" and coauthor of "Junior Johnson: Brave in Life."
The newest exhibit in Special Collections features historical documents, photos, an original poster, and an artifact from Boone's outdoor drama, "Horn in the West." The exhibit, curated by Appalachian Studies graduate student Adam Sheffield, is located inside Special Collections and is on display through the summer during the department's open hours. All of the materials on display and much more is available in the Southern Appalachian Historical Association Records. Contact or visit the Dougherty Reading Room, which is located next to the exhibit case, to use the collection.
"Horn in the West" was first produced in 1952, and is the third oldest surviving American outdoor drama, following "The Lost Colony" and "Unto These Hills." The show derives from a script written by Dr. Kermit Hunter, originally titled "Wilderness Road." The Southern Appalachian Historical Association states that over 1.4 million people have attended "Horn in the West" since its first season. This month, on June 26th at 8pm, marks the beginning of the 63rd season of productions. For more information about Horn in the West, visit their website.

Music Center at Strathmore Tickets and Event Schedule

Programs are subject to change without notice.
338 Music Center at Strathmore Tips
Parking is NOT free for shows at the Levine School of Music, but is free for the Strathmore. Confusing and disappointing.
Leave home early, even if you live close. At this time of year and time of evening, Rockville Pike and other roads are usually bumper-to-bumper, plus the line to get into the parking lot (from Rockville Pike onto Tuckerman Lane, (vs. where you enter for the Mansion, despite the posted road sign), is one lane, also bumper to bumper. Parking is free but another challenge still lies ahead with long waits for elevators in the parking garage, transversing the long, elevated corrider between the parking lot and the venue, and additional elevators with long lines inside the venue, which take you to the level of your assigned seats (there is an elevator operator checking tickets and telling individuals if they're on the correct elevator, etc.). If you're not familiar with this whole scenario, best to leave a trail of breadcrumbs from your parking space to your seat, assuming there are no birds in sight. : \
There's a cafe right in the music center. They also serve wine and beer. A bit pricey but the food is good and it's very convenient to be able to eat right there and then attend desired performance.
Take your time leaving, after the performance. You'll have less of a (long) wait to get out of the parking garage.
Metro is easy to use to get there, although there aren't a lot of signs.
Nice cafeteria in the theater open before the show.
The weather was mild.. I wore sport coat & turtleneck..

Remington Youth 870 with SSX choke and Federal Heavyweight Mag Shok #7 shells puts 164 pellets in a 12" circle at 38 yards. Here's the video for proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1mSs56HepQ
This performance with 1-1/2 oz. 20 gauge loads stacks up against a lot of 12 gauge patterns I've seen (not counting the whiz bang optimized choke/shell/gun combinations, but your everyday shell and choke pattern).

Butch Jones has backed out of his agreement with Colorado. Mainly because he thinks he still has a chance at the Tennessee or Wisconsin jobs
�Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.�
Butch Jones officially going to Tennessee making a lot of enemies in the process.
I think he's a good coach. But he's never walked in to a situation like UT. Brian Kelly didn't leave the cupboards full for him there.
He'll have talent at Tennessee.The Vols have always been able to recruit. He's just gotta coach them up. I think the last big time recruit to live up to his ranking was Eric Berry.
Tommy Tubberville to Cincy???? WTF??

Why Hillary Clinton Isn't Too Old for 2016
Lost in the furor over Karl Rove's speculation about Hillary Clinton's health was his suggestion that she's getting, well, old.
Age is a consideration that could ultimately lead Mrs. Clinton to sit out the 2016 presidential race, Mr. Rove said in an interview.
"My head tells me she runs, my gut tells me this is a more complicated calculation and she might not," he said. "Two weeks before the 2016 election, she'll turn 69. If she were to serve two terms, she'd be 77."
So, is Mrs. Clinton too old to be president? A look at the life-expectancy tables shows that 69 isn't as old as it used to be.
If Mrs. Clinton wins, she'd be nearly 69 years, three months old when she takes the oath of office. That would make her the second-oldest person to be sworn in–behind Ronald Reagan, who was a little more than 69 years, 11 months old when he became president in 1981.
Age doesn't tell the whole story, though. People are living longer. These days, a 69-year-old white woman has about as many years left as some of the 50-somethings who were president in an earlier era.
Let's talk about Warren Harding (and who among you hasn't been clamoring to read those words?).
Mr. Harding was 55 years old at his inauguration in 1921. At the time, he was expected to live another 20 years, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's not much more time than a President Hillary Clinton would have left.
On inauguration day in January 2017, a 69-year-old white woman would be expected to live another 17 years.
Of course, no one ever knows how much time they have left. Mr. Harding died in office at age 57, two years after his swearing-in ceremony.
Harry Truman was 60 years old when he became president in 1945 upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. That's nine years younger than Mrs. Clinton would be on inauguration day. But in that era, a 60-year-old was expected to live only another 17 years (As it happened, Mr. Truman passed away in 1972, 27 years after he was sworn in).
"Her chances of survival are extremely good throughout the term," said Dr. Laura Carstensen, who directs the Stanford Center on Longevity, which studies the human lifespan.
What's more, a 69-year-old woman with Mrs. Clinton's educational background would endure no appreciable decline in cognitive ability, Dr. Carstensen said.

As people age they tend to process new information with less speed and efficiency, she said. But such changes are relatively slight and, in the end, outweighed by the life experience that people bring to bear, she said.
"I don't mean to say there aren't negative cognitive changes with age," Dr. Carstensen said. "There are some."
For those who are "highly educated and have deep experience in a particular area," she said, these cognitive changes are "offset to such a degree that generally performance continues to improve."
Another benefit that comes with growing older: emotional stability. As people age, they are typically less prone to emotional mood swings, Dr. Carstensen said.
Mrs. Clinton has dealt with unwelcome attention to her age in the past. In her 2008 White House run, she came under criticism for mistakenly saying she had dodged sniper fire upon landing in Bosnia when she was first lady.
Her husband rushed to her defense, for better or worse.
At a campaign stop in Indiana, Bill Clinton said in reference to reporters who had run with the story: "When they're 60 they'll forget something when they're tired at 11 o'clock at night, too."

Some time ago I have posted "Dynamic vs Static" article
And I whould like to raise it again. Why you need to be shure, that user is authenticated if you have ability to check the result (subscribe to recive notices by mail) and ability to delete unwanted messages.
And there could be some random dictionary to determine is article really from you and not a Spam. You just get 1n world from top of it and insert it in your article as 1st line :)
This way you could collect all notify mails from all blogs and delete messages if only it is without "key word".
Ok ... there whould be some minutes when SPAM message will be visible as a blog message, but no more ! :)
It is dynamic solution.
