...these notes, that was what came back to me-the fun that we'd had doing it. Before all the backbiting, before all the falling out, before all the commercial repercussions of what we'd done. It was just a memoir of a really good time. And I sent Alan a copy of the book a couple of weeks ago. Haven't heard back from him. But I actually signed it "To Alan, with fond memories, best wishes, Dave." 'Cause that's how I feel about...

After sophomore Leigh McCoy’s shot was blocked, the ball lingered in front...
...groups alike - apart from their utility for end users in the developed world. Nkunda, for example, is widely believed to be profiting from the transit of minerals through areas he controls (he claims he is only policing the area to protect ethnic Tutsis). Global Witness, a London based NGO, sent researchers to the the provinces of North and South Kivu this summer and reported back that Hutu armed groups as well as members of the country's armed forces were profiting from the trade in cassiterite, or iron ore. The group wants to exert more pressure on Western governments...
