...passing scheme is predicated on getting the ball to the open receiver, whoever that may be,” Murphy said...
...villa in west Java and hatched a plan to kill current Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri, who was then a candidate for the presidency. The plot involved buying weapons in Malaysia and the Philippines, but the group failed to get the guns into Indonesia. Last year a second assassination scheme--it involved detonating a bomb at a meeting of Megawati and other ruling party leaders--fizzled when the designated bomber lost his leg and was arrested after the bomb he was carrying blew up prematurely near the Atrium Mall in Jakarta in August...

But the Blind Boys freshen up classics like the Impressions' People Get Ready, masterfully riffing off of familiar melodies. They don't nail every song--their take on Prince's The Cross is stiff--but their honey-and-gravel voices are never predictable. They're always hunting...
