BracketRacket: Last 4, Ware's injury, odds galore
Welcome back to BracketRacket, your one-stop shop for all your NCAA tournament needs.
Today, an injury to Louisville guard Kevin Ware dominates social networks, we flash back to 1965 and work our way to 2012 to revisit the remaining teams' last Final Four appearances, and see what kind of payday you could have shipped had you bet on the other Louisville on Sunday.
But first, let's look at your Final Four and the chances they'll keep their win streaks alive.
The Final Four - a catchy name for a quartet of teams who just won a quarterfinal. Not that surviving the opening rounds of the NCAA tournament isn't a worthy accomplishment (ask Gonzaga, Kansas, Indiana or any of the other teams who were "supposed" to make it this far).
Las Vegas casinos still have Louisville as the favorite to win it all. The Cardinals are 10-point favorites over Wichita State, making Louisville the second biggest favorite in semifinals history since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, according to gambling expert R.J. Bell of Pregame.com (in 1999, Duke was favored by 11 points over Michigan State).
Casinos see the other semifinal as a tighter contest, with Michigan favored by 2 points over Syracuse, Bell said.
If you think that means a Louisville-Michigan final is most likely, fine, but don't forget all the unexpected turns this tournament has taken.
Wichita State started the tournament at 300-1 odds to win the title, while Michigan was 20-1 and Syracuse was 35-1.
Each team in the Final Four has been there before, some more recently than others. Here's a quick chronological look at the last time each school made it this far and how things played out.
- 1965, Wichita State: The Shockers went 21-9 in the 1964-1965 season, winning the Missouri Valley conference and making their first ever Final Four. Then they ran into UCLA and the Wizard of Westwood. Wichita State lost big to the Bruins, who went on to win their second national title under coach John Wooden. The next night, Wichita State was blown out even worse by Princeton, 118-82, in a third-place game.
- 1993, Michigan: Michigan's last trip to the Final Four featured the Fab Five, college basketball's biggest rock stars at the time. With Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King, the Wolverines beat Kentucky in the national semifinals, then lost 77-71 to North Carolina in the final.
The national title game was made even more famous by Webber calling a timeout Michigan didn't have with 20 seconds to play, sparking a technical foul that led to four straight free throws for Carolina's Donald Williams.
"If I'd have known we didn't have any timeouts left, I wouldn't have called a timeout," Webber said after the game.
- 2003, Syracuse: NBA star Carmelo Anthony was a freshman along with Orange star Gerry McNamara, and third-seeded Syracuse won its first championship in school history. Syracuse beat Texas 95-84 in the semifinals before beating Kansas 81-78 in the national title game.
For Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, the win in New Orleans redeemed a loss 16 years earlier to Indiana in the national championship in the same city.
"Honestly, it was better than if we won someplace else," Boeheim said in 2012.
- 2012, Louisville: Last year, Kentucky was fairly unstoppable on its run to the title and beat in-state rival Louisville 69-61 in the Final Four. But it was unlikely for Louisville to even be there given three season-ending knee injuries, several concussions and a run of eight players who missed at least one game in a wacky year.

If I wanted to do what you are looking for, I would use Photoshop (which I have) or Gimp (which you have).
I would start with real world locations with interesting terrain.
I would collect greyscale images of topographicly interesting terrain to provide base images.
Then USGS Topo maps of the same area will give you contours to quanytify the changes in elevation.
After combining the two, you have an alien terrain in need of exotic alien colors - easily created using the map tutorials available on this site and a little research on other worlds.
FYI - the spectral color of a star will change the optimal color for plants - green is best for our atmosphere and yellow sun, but other colors are best for other conditions ... black plants for a dim star, white plants to reflect a harsh light.

Statism is not reserved to the left, and the right has its own version. Perhaps not the 'limited government' right, nor any true conservative right, but the 'conservatives' we now have 'on the right.'
Look no further than the extreme state powers in the NDAA, and ask which conservatives complained about the GOP majority House, and the 40+ GOP senators, failing to stop these wholesale violations of individual rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights. They complained about OBAMA's role in this, but it passed Congress before he could sign or veto it.
Statism is at least two-headed.
A medium sized fish [...]
The 'conservative' side of the high court so beloved of 'conservatives' is statist (when not corporatist, i.e., fascist) to the core.
The NDAA is statism run amok. Which conservatives do you know of opposed its worst provisions with regard to state power abuse against individual citizens of this country?
You don't get to deal only with the conservatism you imagine, but with the conservatism we actually have.
A medium sized fish [...]
Who on the court do you consider "CONSERVATIVE" and what cases lead you to this conclusion?
Here's your disconnect ... their is no such thing as a small state big statist.
Words mean things.
Those who vote on the 5-4 split decisions toward the conservative side are mainly all considered conservatives, maybe with a moderate justice who may swing to one side or another at times.
So, obviously Scalia and Thomas, Alito, Roberts up until he confused the issue with his ACA decision (which btw was very conservative although no one seems to appreciate how or why), and Kennedy in that swing role on some of those 5-4 splits. At a minimum, the 4s in those votes represent what passes as non-conservative to liberal on the court.
If you want to say those are rightie radical statists rather than classic conservatives, no argument from me. That's why I used the scare quotes when I wrote 'conservative' side of the high court.
Which is my point. It's certainly common parlance, and among the right as well, to call these conservative justices. A relatively tiny number of purists on various terms do not get to make up their own meanings for words which are in common use-- rather, common use is what determines the meaning of those words.
A medium sized fish [...]
Socializm kommunizm and kapitalizm are just words -- they dont exist -- they exist only az words.
The problem with any system iz not necessaryly the system -- the problem iz idiots -- idiots kan spoil any system.
How to spot an idiot -- for starters, idiots spend lots of time argueing (badly) about socializm and kommunizm and kapitalizm.
When i look at the usofa i see mind-kontrol -- everywhere -- every day -- in every way.
That ukrainian guy probly duznt understand that he iz komparing ussr diarrhea to usofa shite.

So you can't actually cite anything.
A "STATIST RIGHT WINGER" is as common as is boiling hot ice water.
LOL. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY out there.
Its very simple.
Fascism is rule from the top down. Much like Communism. The lie they both say is that 'we know best what is good for you.
OTOH, Democracy dictates that the majority tells their elected Reps what that want and expect them to carry out their wishes or be voted out at the next election.
Remarkable.You leak a story, and then you quote the story. I mean,that's a remarkable thing to do

text: By Samantha GoffTribune Staff The Grant Energy Zone is now open and ready to help the community by recommending nutrition and wellness to all. Owners Rebecca McCormick and Angela Musick have already seen a great amount of interest and support since the new business opened on Nov. 19, and they have high hopes for the store's future. McCormick is retiring from doing nails at The Hair Works to work full time at the Grant Energy Zone. Both women have had great results with the Herbalife product line and want to share their successes. McCormick has lost 10 pounds and has been able to maintain healthy sugar levels, and Musick has also been using the product with great results, including healthier skin. Grant Energy Zone is open six days a week, Monday through Saturday in the former Grant Floral building at 211 Central. The hours are 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. They specifically chose these hours to be available to support their clients before and after work. "I've seen diet programs come and go around here, and people usually buy the product and have no support, so they just don't take it," said McCormick. Providing support is one of their main goals, and what they say sets them apart from any other diet program. The two are very committed to work with and support their clients to ensure the desired results. Herbalife is an alternate choice for healthy food and can be used to lose weight, maintain weight, or even gain weight. "All too often, someone who is sickly and needs to gain weight is told by the doctor to just eat fatty stuff," McCormick said. "That is not the healthy way to gain weight. We want you to gain healthy weight in muscle, not fat." There is no need to change any diet habits, clients can eat what they wish, but the owners say they won't want to. "You'll just feel full," Musick said. Herbalife is a nutritious and healthy alternative to buying food which often times contains growth hormones, herbicides and pesticides causing them to be less healthy than a person would think they are. One saying they believe in and have painted on their wall is "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food," The Grant Energy Zone offers hot and cold teas, shakes, lotion, body soap, shampoo and conditioner and other fine products in a variety of sizes and flavors. After the holidays they will be hosting weight challenges and salsa dancing. The new Energy Zone owners will be holding a grand opening event in the near future. In the meantime, they invite everyone to stop in to check out the products and try a shake for breakfast or lunch.

Caroline Wozniacki overcame a case of severe cramps to defeat Vera Zvonareva 6-0, 6-7 (3), 6-4 and go up 2-0 in round robin play in Doha today. The Russian had replaced compatriot Dinara Safina after she pulled out yesterday with a back injury.
The Danish teen was treated twice for her left leg, which has been heavily strapped, and fell to the court in pain after netting a forehand at 30-15 in the last game. She managed to recover just enough to close out Russian foe and cried with happiness/pain/relief after it was all said and done.
I have to give Wozzi major props for closing out this dramatic match especially with all the leg issues she's been experiencing lately. And to be up 2-0 in the White Group after dusting off Victoria Azarenka yesterday is stellar. Hopefully she'll be recovered enough to out-run Jelena Jankovic in their final round robin match.
As for Bepa, well, she had problems of her own during the match besides the usual:

This is one of the most effective termite control boca raton techniques you can to eradicate your termite problems. This service contains liquid treatment in the entry points and infestation sites around a home, plus termite monitoring stations at different places around your property to find activity. He/she will replace the monitoring stations with bait stations, in the event your termite specialist find signals of termites. Termites who ingest the bait will share it with their nest mates, leading to effective charge of the colony.
Liquid Software with Repellent or with Non-Repellent
These types of treatments may be utilized inside and outside your house, and additionally can be injected directly into an infested region. Termites who touch repellents are directed from the house.
Non-repellent products aren't readily detected by termites, so the insects do not know in order to avoid the treated area. Forager termites will be the first to confront these non-repellent products, which will be then shared with the rest of the colony during eating and grooming – efficiently managing the colony's members.

Royals acquire Navarro and Volz from Boston for Aviles
The Royals today acquired infielder Yamaico Navarro and minor league right-handed pitcher Kendal Volz from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for infielder Mike Aviles.
Navarro, 23, opened the season with Pawtucket (AAA) and was promoted to the big league club on June 30, hitting .216 (8-for-37) in 16 games. The Royals got a first hand look at Navarro this week when he participated in all four games during KC's just completed trip to Fenway Park, going 4-for-12 (.333) with a double, walk, two runs scored and RBI. The native of San Pedro de Macoris, DR, who will report to the Royals in Cleveland, hit .258 (33-for-128) in 34 games for Pawtucket with a .362 on-base pct. He was originally signed out of the Dominican Republic by the Red Sox in 2005.
Volz, 23, has worked exclusively in relief for Salem (A) this season, going 2-3 with two saves and a 3.33 ERA in 31 appearances. He has struck out 56 batters in 51.1 innings and held the opposition to a composite .222 batting average, and has been assigned to Wilmington (A). The Bulverde, TX, native was Boston's ninth-round choice in the 2009 draft out of Baylor University. His professional career began last year with Greenville in the South Atlantic League, working mainly as a starter, appearing in 26 games (24 starts), going 6-5 with a 3.71 ERA, fanning 94 in 116.1 innings. He played for Team USA in 2008.
Aviles hit .222 in 53 games for the Royals this year with five home runs and 31 RBI. He had two stints with the big league club, also spending a little over a month at Omaha (AAA). The 30-year old infielder was Kansas City's seventh-round pick in the 2003 draft and made his first appearance in the majors in 2008, hitting .325 in 102 games. He missed virtually all of the 2009 campaign and a portion of 2010 due to Tommy John surgery on May 24, 2009.

Manchin Strains Support Of NRA
Senator's push for background checks puts them at odds
April 22, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — He famously fired a gun in a TV ad while boasting of an endorsement from the National Rifle Association, but Sen....
This is a calculated political move by Joe to raise his national profile for more power and opportunity in Washington. He figures he has such a strong grip on WV votes that no matter what he says or does it is worth the risk. Too bad he is not as concerned about his good buddy Barack's continued assault on our economy, national security and constitution. It reminds me of the signs out last election. Manchin equals Obama.

1. There are plenty of existing laws that are not fully enforced.
2. Laws must never be passed on the basis of emotion. The families of Sandy Hook victims are being used by Obama and Manchin to get laws passed in sympathy. Not good.
3. But why is there opposition to expanded background checks. It's not because it's unreasonable in itself. It's because of the progressive communist ideology of the present admin. They call themselves "progressives". Progressing towards what? The ultimate goal is gun confiscation and the destruction of ALL liberties. You are absolutely correct, elmgrovedude, this is NOT your mother's democratic party.
4. The bill is an "infringement" on the rights of legal gun owners. Joe can take that deer rifle and shove it. I want my AR-15.

I have not read the actual bill, but Manchin was responding to an artificially created national sentiment that gun purchasing laws had to be tougher, and from media coverage it sounds as if his proposal was the best of anything put forward. At all cost we as citizens must protect our Constitional Rights, however, I don't think a bill that would keep those rights from extending to felons and those incapable of respectfully exercising those rights is misguided. I haven't seen anything helpful put forward by the NRA.

Hi all,
I have two questions regarding the "E-mail message lifetime" setting. My college is looking to implement this to set a retention time of 3 years on mail (in the default class of service). My questions about this are:
- When I enable it, will it instantly start scouring mailboxes to delete old messages?
- Does it cause an initial resource strain on the system (since it would be cleaning up 1500 or so mailboxes)?
I've only found 5.x/6.x era notes on the "E-mail message lifetime" option in the forums (and those somewhat sparse and not specifically about this).
Thanks in advance for any info!

Kitchen Nightmares Recap: La Galleria 33, Part TwoNovember 2, 2012 06:41:10 by Megan Wilson
Tonight we see the follow up episode to the season premiere of Kitchen Nightmares at La Galleria 33. Last week, we caught a glimpse of two sisters subconsciously hell-bent on destroying their restaurant. Nestled in the north end area of Boston, their Italian food lacks flare compared to the other Italian restaurants in the area, and the customers have taken notice. The sisters, Rita and Lisa, are NOT financially savvy, and have found themselves drowning in debt attempting to keep their restaurant afloat. With staff skirmishes brimming over, Gordon Ramsay steps in to try and revive La Galleria 33. Faced with horrible food-safety standards and a menu that brags on blah, not to mention the bickering sisters, Gordon is definitely facing a challenge!

21st California Hot Rod Reunion - Famoso FlashbackWritten by on May 15, 2013
In an era when mainstream drag racing is ever more corporate, and the little guy can't hope to compete in the professional classes, interest in nostalgia racing continues to grow. Witness the increase in such events, from the original reunion, to the sister event at Bowling Green, Kentucky, the March Meet at Famoso, and the new for 2013 event at New England Dragway, New Hampshire.
All these events really do offer living history before your eyes, with front-engine dragsters, nostalgia Funny Cars, Altereds, Gassers, and Super Stocks from the '60s and '70s in the NHRA Heritage Racing Series, both on display and racing on the tracks. Add the restored and re-created cars that aren't race legal but which take part in the cacklefests, and you could be forgiven for thinking you'd stepped back in time.
Last October saw the 21st staging of the Hot Rod Reunion at Famoso Raceway, near Bakersfield, California, where in addition to the above action, the crowds were treated to the likes of Big John Mazmanian's '41 Willys and the Rat Trap and Winged Express Altereds out on the track during the three-day event. Seeing Winged Express carry the front wheels for almost the entire 1,320 feet to the finish line is an experience not to be missed for sure!
While the racing starts during the day on Friday, for many the event kicks off at the Doubletree Hotel in Bakersfield that evening with the Lifetime Achievement awards. Honorees were "TV" Tommy Ivo, who was also Grand Marshall of the event, Bob and Jim Brissette, Gary and Jerry Mallicoat, Jim Nicoll, Marv Ripes, and Ed Sigmon. Continuing the tradition, Fuelers were fired up in the parking lot, assaulting the assembled crowd's ears, noses, and throats, thanks to the nitro fumes, though we're sure no one present would have it any other way!
Similar sensory overload could be enjoyed on Saturday night, with the cacklefest parade and presentation at the track in the evening, the fading light perfect to view the flames and glowing headers on the race cars. Why not enjoy it for yourself next October 18-20, or if you can't wait check out www.nhramuseum.org for the Kentucky and New Hampshire dates.

David Steel is the current caretaker of Tom Sparks' old A-V8 that he built back in the '40s.The Fuelers, Funnies, and Altereds may get the majority of the press coverage, but there are plenty of grassroots racers at the Reunion too.

Raymond Beadle bought him out in 1975, racing under the Blue Max name until retiring in 1989. This is the restored '78 Plymouth Arrow campaigned when Beadle still drove.The Brasher, Cummings & Rose '33 Willys Gasser was a Bay Area racer back in the day, now owned by Jim Tipper, not far away in Pleasanton. After barrel rolling the '33, Tipper restored it.Yep, that's Von Dutch's Utility Wagon he used to drive at Movie World, complete with the "doggy window" in the front panel and still-working external horn.

Listen in on some fascinating stories from Oregon Public Broadcasting! On June 22, the first segment of OPB's Think Out Loud program featured Claire Bolderson, a BBC News Hour reporter who's visiting and broadcasting from Portland. Claire talked about her trip to the Port of Portland and her conversations with people who rely on international trade, like hazelnut growers in the Willamette Valley.
The second segment of the show focused on wheat and agriculture products that are exported through Pacific Northwest ports. Portland is the largest wheat exporting port in the country and third largest in the world, and the guests provided interesting perspective on the relationship between Oregon-grown wheat and consumers in China and other parts of Asia.

Concord, NC (Sports Network) - Denny Hamlin easily broke the track qualifying
record at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday night to earn the pole for
Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 -- the longest race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Hamlin, who was the 39th driver in the 44-car qualifying order, turned a lap
at a blistering 195.624 mph. It marked the 14th career Sprint Cup pole for the
Joe Gibbs Racing driver, including his second of the season and his first at
Hamlin's first pole this season came in March at Auto Club Speedway in
Fontana, Calif. He suffered a compression fracture in his lower back during an
accident on the final lap at Fontana and ended up missing the next four races
-- Martinsville, Texas, Kansas and Richmond. Hamlin returned to his No. 11 JGR
Toyota earlier this month at Darlington, where he finished second to teammate
Matt Kenseth.
The top-eight finishers in qualifying surpassed the previous track record of
193.708 mph, set by Greg Biffle last October.
Kurt Busch continued his hot streak in qualifying by claiming the outside pole
with a lap at 195.221 mph. Busch won the pole at Darlington and qualified
second for last weekend's all-star race at Charlotte.
Kenseth secured the third starting position, followed by Mark Martin and Clint
Kasey Kahne, the defending race winner, Biffle, Kyle Busch, Jamie McMurray and
Ryan Newman finished sixth through 10th, respectively, in qualifying.
Jimmie Johnson, who won the all-star race for a record fourth time, will start
12th in the 600-miler, one spot behind his teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Danica Patrick qualified 24th.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Discovery Channel has canceled the reality TV show "Sons of Guns."
The move comes after the star Will Hayden was arrested on an aggravated rape charge. Authorities in Louisiana say Hayden was arrested Tuesday on charges of raping a child.
He had already been facing child molestation charges and charges of aggravated crime against nature stemming from his arrest in August. His bond is set at $250,000.
A Discovery Channel spokeswoman says the show is being shut down because of what the network describes as the "serious and horrific nature of the charges" against Hayden.

Tri-State Travels
Blog Note – The Royals headed south for their final Winter Caravan trip of the month. Public Relations Senior Director Lora Grosshans offers these comments from the road on the first day's activities. You can read about the Royals Caravan on the home page of royals.com. MLB.com writer **** Kaegel will also continue to report on caravan activities throughout the month.
Three states in one day. That is a travel schedule that would make even the fiercest road warriors proud!
That is exactly what we accomplished Thursday in the first day of our latest caravan trip. We rounded up the trailblazing group of David DeJesus, Joey Gathright, "Big John" Mayberry, J.J. Picollo, and, of course, Sluggerrr, at Kauffman Stadium for a whirlwind trip that will continue to visit cities in southern Missouri and northwest Arkansas before returning to Kansas City on Saturday night.
Our day began with a great stop at the local Wal-Mart in Pittsburg, Kan. We saw a long line of Royals fans, including several youngsters waiting for Sluggerrr, when we arrived and more kept showing up throughout our hour-long appearance. The kind folks at KKOW Radio in Pittsburg, who helped coordinate our stops in their neck of the woods, then guided us across the state line to Joplin, Mo. After grabbing some barbeque at Red, Hot & Blue, our guys kept signing autographs at the Mid-Missouri Bank. Our players have put their John Hancock on a variety of items through the years, but this stop featured a new request – autographing a truck! A Joplin woman and her son asked Big John to come outside and sign the dashboard of their royal blue (what other color is there?) vehicle! That is what is great about caravan…you never know what you are going to get!
After a few questions from the gang as to exactly where we were, we arrived in Bentonville, Ark. Our hour-long appearance at the Wal-Mart SuperCenter turned into closer to 90 minutes because of the great crowd that turned out. Seeing Royals fans in droves energizes even the weariest travelers!
We capped the day by visiting the home of Royals board member Dayna Martz and her family. We had a wonderful time talking baseball, shooting pool and sharing a lot of laughs. A big thank you to the Martz family for their wonderful hospitality!
We're spending the second day of the trip in Springdale, Ark., the future home of our Double-A affiliate. I can only begin to imagine what the guys will be asked to sign there!

Testimony :: Stephen Jones
Professor - Mount Holyoke College
When I testified to this committee in March 1995 at a hearing on Georgia, I concluded: "the concentration of power in Shevardnadze's hands… and the retention of conservative apparatchiki in policy making positions, is undermining popular faith in the institutions of democracy and the market. Shevardnadze may have managed to save the Georgian ship of state…but has given it little direction." After seven years, and over $700 million of US government aid between 1995-2000, today I might conclude in much the same manner.
In 2000, USAID spent $52 million in Georgia restructuring its energy system, implementing business and democratic reforms, and funding social and humanitarian programs. That same year, the US government spent $35,000,000 on border defense and on the Georgian armed forces, $7,000,000 on conflict resolution, and $14,000,000 on judicial reform, rehabilitation of the health system and privatization. Yet there is little indication that this investment had made much difference. When I was in Georgia in the fall of 2001, there were blockades on the streets by citizens angered at blackouts, there was an occupation of Rustavi 2, the most popular independent TV channel by Security ministry officials, prolonged protests outside parliament leading to the mass resignation of government ministers, the bombing of Georgian villages by Russian planes, an incursion of Chechen fighters into the Kodori valley, and the election of a new South Osetian President in December more antagonistic to re-integration with Georgia than his predecessor. Conflict resolution with secessionist Abkhazia and South Osetia remained at a dead end. The judicial reform greeted with such fanfare in 1998 had petered out. Corruption and the obscure process of privatization of middle and large companies continued to undermine the faith of ordinary citizens in economic and political reform.
It would be absurd to suggest no progress has been made since 1995. Shevardnadze ended private armies, civil strife, prevented a catastrophic economic collapse, and stemmed territorial fragmentation. He de-radicalized the Georgian nationalist revolution, introduced tough economic reforms, established a constitution and initiated a process of reconciliation in a country torn apart by civil war. But this progress, in which Western governments and international organizations have invested so much, is built upon the thinnest of ice. The fragile stability in Georgia today is maintained by social and political forces that in the long term will bring it down, and along with it, US hopes of a sturdy liberal democratic ally in the region. Thus corruption, migration ( an important pressure valve for the unemployed and discontented), public cynicism, and a poorly organized civil society sustain the system today, but tomorrow these same phenomena will undermine any future prospect of sustainable reform. That means I will likely be back before this committee in seven years time repeating what I said in 1995.
By most criteria, we might call Georgia democratic although in my mind there are serious questions as to whether elected officials have effective power over the government, and whether elections, such as the 2000 Presidential election, can be described as fair and honest. Other attributes of democracy, though imperfect, are basically in place such as free expression, the right to create political parties and associations, the right to run for elective office and the existence of alternative sources of information. But despite these gains, for the ordinary voter, the expectations of democratic life, such as accountable officials, defense against corrupt judges and police, a responsive government and electoral power, have not been fulfilled.
There are many reasons why Georgia is failing its citizens, but I will mention only three. I focus on these because they are areas where Western governments have also failed Georgia.
The first concerns economic security. Impoverished democracies exist, but studies show moderate growth, a higher per capita income and declining inequality are the best means for sustaining democratic institutions. Even with estimates taking into account popular participation in the shadow economy, 40% of the Georgian population has a combined monetary and non monetary income below the subsistence level. J.K.Galbraith has remarked that "nothing… sets a stronger limit on the liberty of the citizen than a total absence of money." In Georgia Western policies on democracy building have overlooked this basic tenet - and until Georgian citizens' economic and physical insecurity is mediated in some way, democratization in Georgia will have little chance of success.
The second concerns Georgian state capacity. No government can sustain reform without the proper institutional means to follow through on implementation. A few figures illustrate the problem: compared to 1989, Georgia's current economy has shrunk 67%; industry is working at 20% of its capacity. Between 1997-2000, expenditure on defense decreased from $51.9 million to $13.6., education from 35.6 to 13.9, agriculture forestry and fishing from 13.4 to 7.2. The state's inability to fund its social insurance and employment funds, maintain its army, education and transport in rural areas, or stimulate agriculture and industry, has led the majority of the population to view the state as irrelevant, unrepresentative, and corrupt. Its functionaries are despised, its structures unworthy of trust or support, including the police and the army. Throwing in Western aid such as the US train and equip program for the Georgian army – which is aimed to help Georgians fight Chechen terrorists - will never be effective if the Georgian state cannot pay its soldiers and feed them properly. A strong fighting force cannot be built on the impoverished base of Georgia's army. The transition to democracy and the effective impact of aid must start with the premise of a coherent and functioning state. A weak state is unable to promote good government, and cannot control bad government or misspent aid.
The third issue is political and public support for reform. There are scattered reformers in the Georgian government, even ministers, but they are powerless and do not have the support of the President. Sound opinion poll research suggests that even if state elites wished to reform, they would find it very difficult to convince a profoundly alienated population that they were genuine. Data suggests that 56.8% of the population do not trust the courts, 64% do not trust parliament, 79.4% don't trust the tax administration, and 65.6% do not trust the President. Such degrees of alienation will kill most attempts at reform before they begin. The cycle of distrust can only be broken with visible government measures taken to end the control of corrupt political and economic networks. The US government should be strongly urging Shevardnadze to do so with sanctions if he does not.
A poll in December 2001 conducted by the Georgian research firm SOCIOGEO suggested that Georgia's cumulative problems and the ineffective backing of the US for reform has decreased faith in the US among Georgian citizens. Forty three per cent of Georgians polled (24% in 1999) favored closer security ties with Russia and the CIS rather than with the USA.
Ultimately Georgians are responsible for building a sustainable democracy, but Western aid is an important instrument in shaping, stimulating and sustaining reform. So far, Western aid has been largely ineffective in doing so.

The 2012 Fancy Food Show may be over, but more than a few products made a lasting impression. Here are my top picks from the expo that I hope to be enjoying again sooner rather than later. Feel free to share your faves in the comments section.
After being smoked over hazelnut shells for 16 hours, Rogue Creamery's Smokey Blue takes on a hazy, heady flavor that makes it the perfect topping (or stuffing) for a burger.
Brazos Valley Cheese makes Eden, an ash-centered Brie swaddled in fig leaves that was a highlight of the show. Slightly stinky with a strong finish, it blew my mind.
Wax paper wrapped batons of Goat Milk Caramels from Big Picture Farm are sweet treats of the highest order. Cooler still is the fact that the confectioners have given their goats wonderfully offbeat names like Root Beer, Meridien, and Solaris.
Beat the heat this summer with Nye's Cream Sandwiches, which come in tantalizing flavors like Caramel Latte, Smore's, Honey Walnut, and Coconut Chocolate.
Fentiman's brews up the kind of botanically complex sodas that make mixologists cream their pants. It's latest offering – Cherrytree Cola – is so good that it makes Cherry Coke taste like dead yak urine.
Clove and vanilla notes hide in GuS's refreshingly not-so-sweet Dry Root Beer. Crisp, yet complex, it would make for an excellent summer barbecue beverage.
Have you always wanted to try making your own pickles, but have been afraid to tackle the task? Fire & Flavor demystify the pickling process by offering a fun, easy-to-use line of premixed spices, including Crispy Ice Box Dill, Sweet Bread & Butter, and Just Can't Beet It.
Bread is another one of those things that just seems like such a monumental task that you don't ever want to try doing it. Lucky for you, Joe Bellavance has created the Average Joe Artisan Bread Kit which makes playing with yeast easier than driving to your local bakery to pick up a boule.
Baked Goods
I knew nothing about Gagne Foods, Inc. when I stopped by their booth on the second day of the show. However, their fantastic Triple Ginger Biscuits compelled me to stop by again on the last day just so I could get one more taste.
My first bite at the show was Rau Om's Miso Cured Tofu. I didn't know what to expect, but I'll admit that my expectations were low. Then the creamy – like room temperature Brie – spread hit my taste buds and I was an immediate convert. If you've ever wondered what umami tastes like, this is it.
Oogie's makes popcorn in a variety of imaginative flavors. My favorite was definitely the Smoked Gouda Popcorn, which gives Smartfood's well-loved cheddar popcorn a run for the money.
Suan's Scotch Bonnet Pepper Jelly was developed after its creator spent four years cooking in Jamaica. The sweet and fiery spread is best on a whole-wheat cracker topped with goat cheese.
Can you really go wrong with Organic Rhubarb Jam? Not if you pick it up from Colorado Mountain Jam. Sweet with a tiny tart twinge, it would be perfect on your morning toast or an evening cheese platter.
Syrups, Oils, and Vinegars
In search of the perfect Infused White Truffle Oil, I stopped by La Tourangelle's booth and discovered nirvana. I can't wait to pop up some kernels, just so I can drizzle a little of this liquid gold on them.
Citadelle's Maple Vinegar was a fun discovery and would be great for adding a tangy zip to salad dressings at any time of year.
Mixologists take note! Morris Kitchen's syrups, which include a ginger and a rhubarb option, would be perfect for your craft cocktails. Or for drinking directly from the bottle when you think no one is looking.
Doomsday Supplies
I'm totally going to survive the upcoming zombie apocalypse if I stock up on World Grocer's Canned Emergency Purified Drinking Water, which supposedly has a shelf life of more than 30 years. One small problem: zombies live forever unless you take out what's left of their brains with a little blunt force trauma.

Dave Graham Sends New V15
Dave Graham has just completed his project to yield yet another V15.
Named Bridge of Ashes, Graham describes the line on The Island as "a blunt powerful prow, situated near the road in Estes Park, in an area named Elkland."
Graham had been projecting the problem for several months and had even decided to incorporate a little training to insure success. "I'm not taking any chances," wrote Graham on The Island. "I started doing push-ups. And even sit-ups."
