Ben, like you and Halvar, are all iconoclasts. It's impossible to find
anyone else in this Universe that will come close to looking like the 3
of you and/or have the kind of cognitive "computing power" that you 3
possess. Unlike me who is a Chinese, common, prevalent (you cannot get
rid of us, can't you?) and who cannot read, write and pronounce properly
the lingua franca of planet Earth.
Ben is really a mystique. His train of thoughts is out of this world.
Which is why no one can explain why he, a brilliant mind, continues to
work in a tiny weeny company run by someone whose brainpower is
equivalent to a rubber duckie.
I believe yo are spot on when you said that moving of bits does not
affect his live. The Internet, no matter how powerful and pervasive,
will have great difficulty affecting someone's life when that someone
carries a phones that does not work when he leaves the mountain, when
electricity is a luxury and does not have a Facebook account. i mean
which earthlings do not have a Facebook account?
i kind of agree and disagree with you. i think the Internet will be the
new Navy. Its not quite there yet but its definitely moving in that
direction. Even when the Internet becomes the new Navy, it still will
not replace the Ocean as the main medium of commerce. Unless "beam me up
Scottie" becomes a reality. From what little i know of Physics and
Biology (yes coming from the guy who believes that it will not rain on a
full moon), that is not going to happen.
Nation-states are concerned about the effect of the Internet, especially
so with draconian regimes. It's (the Internet) catalytic effect on
change on almost all matters of our life is amazing or frightening,
depending on how you see it or accepting and leveraging it.
i, on the other hand, am not concern only about nation-states and the
Internet. i am also very concern about how enterprises/big corporations
are using the Internet to affect our life in ways that we never intend to.
i agree completely with you that Cyber will replace nuclear. What makes
it really scary is that nation-states postulates with nuclear but will
launch "cyber attack".
Thank you

So Ben Nagy, who is nothing if not an iconoclast, disagrees with my and
Halvar's general tenets that the easiest analogy to what is happening in
the cyber space is the creation of a new Navy (or set of Navy's). But he
refuses to argue with it when it's not words on paper. So I figured I'd
put down some words on paper.
The first and most basic premise is that the Internet has replaced the
oceans as the global Commons. While it's true if you're moving mercury
or steel or plastic rubber duckies from China to somewhere not-China,
and while it's also true that the very wires that are the Internet are
sitting across Ocean floors, deep down Commerce now largely moves over
the Internet.
I don't know if that's the part Ben disagrees with. I think the part he
disagrees with is that by moving bits around, you can effect him in Real
Life. Which brings us to the second part:
I believe that you can cause dramatic nation-state effecting things over
the Internet. I also believe you can do small things if you want. There
are graduated Booms available if you have true information dominance.
Ben lives in a house that has power only a minority of the hours of the
day, so it's hard sometimes to imagine how you would effect him
personally. But he also flies around in metal tubes running
lowest-bidder real time operating systems hooked up to the network
(occasionally, at least). Modern planes can only fly if a quorum if the
cyber attackers on their systems vote to let them fly.
I look at these physical<-->cyber connections as simple gateways, but I
find that if you go around postulating more ways to do this stuff in
public, people consider you a huge douchebag.
Basically Dvorak and Ben are "not scared". Which is fine. But the people
who really make these decisions in most nation-states ARE scared. And on
one end, that's all that you need for working Deterrence, which is the
next argument.
In other words - I believe that cyber can replace nuclear (and has, to
some extent already) as a military deterrent. If Iran turned around
tomorrow and said "Stop the financial blockade or every wall street firm
goes away forever" then what's the US response? I hope we know, because
that very well is the next step. "We don't believe you" is not the
probable reaction, I'm guessing.
How about this one? "We're going to take a random ship and fill its
ballast tanks completely with water in the next storm". How's that Navy
looking now? At a lot of code assessments and not a lot of sailing
around the world enforcing trade embargoes, I'm afraid.
And if you can replace ANYTHING as a deterrent, then you might as well
replace our aging, expensive, and dangerous fleet of ballistic
submarines. Each of which is TWO BILLION DOLLARS. That's almost real money.
So that's the basic setup for the thesis, all of which annoys @RantyBen
In case you're curious where all this comes from (other than phone calls
with Halvar), I've been working in my copious spare time on a Doctrine
for Cyberwar, which is essentially just game theory as applied to the
realities of what we do as hackers. This results in the three talks I've
given over the past year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBQET68HHSg (Amateur hour on the Internet
aka what is and what is not a cyberweapon)

SI Players Poll: Bruins only get seven percent of the Stanley Cup vote
|04.21.09 at 9:58 am ET
Interesting survey in this week's Sports Illustrated based on a survey of 324 NHL players about who they felt was going to win the Stanley Cup. Despite everything accomplished in the regular season, the Boston Bruins are placed fourth in the line of likeliness to raise Lord Stanley's Cup over their collective heads.
I'm assuming this survey was taken before No Show Joe Thornton and the San Jose Sharks went down 0-2 to the eighth-seeded Anaheim Ducks in their opening round series. Perhaps this is why players play and prognosticators prognosticate. The New Jersey Devils clearly have the playoff experience edge and the bigger reputation goaltender in Martin Brodeur, but I'm not sure I see them as the clear favorite over the Bruins in a seven-game playoff series after they fell apart in the final weeks of the regular season.

Material removal is one of the most common uses for industrial robots in the manufacturing industry and other industries around the world. KUKA, a leader in the robotics industry, is constantly innovating and bringing the best material removal robots to their customers. Why does KUKA produce such top of the line material removal robotic systems? Two words – speed and accuracy.
Speed is an integral part of the material removal process for KUKA robots. If a robot is able to quickly drill a hole or grind a work piece to the proper size or shape, it helps to speed up the rest of the production process as well. This means that products take shape at a faster rate and are ready to be shipped at to customers in a more timely fashion.
However, the only thing more important than speed to any robotic material remover from KUKA is their ability to be accurate. Precision is key when removing material from a work piece. If you remove too much, then the piece is not uniform and, in most cases, cannot be used. If a hole is drilled in the wrong place, the piece cannot be used. So, these pieces are then wasted because of errors. KUKA material removing robotics can cut down on worker errors like those mentioned above, and by doing so, also cut down on wasted materials.
By investing in KUKA material removing robot systems, manufacturers are investing in systems that are going to improve their productivity, as well as the quality of their product, exponentially.
Is your shop in need of the accuracy and speed that comes with a KUKA material remover? If so, you should contact the good people at RobotWorx, a certified integrator for KUKA Robotics. RobotWorx has a full staff of engineers, sales people and technicians that can help you realize your automation dreams.

Glamorise Cami Wonderwire Bra 8 8
A unique purchase I have never bought many low neck tops but Travel Smith had a sweater that I really liked that has a neckline that is more revealing than I like. This bra is going to work really well with the sweater and I like them together a lot. The bra will look good with some of my other tops too. The only problem I have is I am allergic to nylon so I will only be able to wear the bra for 2 or 3 hours at a time. October 18, 2014
Very comfortable Exactly what I wanted to wear under a low cut blouse. Lace fits tightly against my chest and the bra is very comfortable. September 11, 2014
Love the fit! I bought both black and white, but really, really, really need an ivory or off white . . . . other colors would be nice too. September 29, 2014
Best bra ever This bra is the most comfortable one I have had in years. I am a little busty and this bra gives me support while looking very feminine. The lace front also makes it possible for me to not have to wear a camisole. August 29, 2014
Just what I need I bought this bra in black and white. It has a very sturdy feel to it. I typically wear a 36D but bought the DD instead; I guess I thought the front lace panel might pull with the D. I was right. It fits perfectly and actually has a "minimizing" look under clothing. It's perfect for those times when you want to display less. Cami's don't always do the trick. Also, while living in South Florida the extra cami layer in the summer can be uncomfortable. I am not concerned about "bounce" as another customer quoted. I've never been able to find a bra that eliminated bounce. LOVE IT! March 27, 2014
good purchase Unlike another reviewer, I don't seem to jiggle in this bra--I'm a D cup--and find it excellent when I want something to cover cleavage for church. I'm less happy with its tendency to cram my breasts together. May 9, 2014
Great! This is the best bra ever. If I had enough money, I would stock up on them. Am waiting for the next sale to buy a few more. Very comfortable and great fit! April 15, 2014
Lacks support I got a 36D. The bra looked nice, but provided too little support to prevent bouncing when I walked. I had to return it. February 24, 2014

UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart updated the athletics committee of the Board of Trustees on the status on the new softball complex Tuesday morning.
Barnhart said ground should be broken on the new facility by July 1, and that it should be ready for action by next February.
Barnhart said that the Cats will use the new complex to serve as hosts for the 2013 SEC Tournament next May.
"This gives the team a really special place to call home," Barnhart said.
Truely exciting,, !!!! This has to be just a fantastic feeling knowing that this is just around the corner and those of you at UK can actually watch the development of the new facilities.

Rob Gronkowski isn't all fun and games after all.
According to TMZ, the big tight end was at the Paradise Rock Club a couple of nights ago, where he helped get the crowd to donate over $20K for the families of the firefighters who passed away due to the fire in Boston back on March 26th.
TMZ Sports has learned … the New England Patriots tight end hit up the Paradise Rock Club in Boston to help fundraise for the families of two men killed in the 9-alarm fire on March 26th.
We're told Gronk had beers with some of the firefighters and even put on a hat from the Boston Fire Gaelic Brigade before taking the mic and saying a few short tributes to the men who "put their lives on the line all the time."
Gronk told the crowd, "They're our true heroes … God bless America … Let's get GRONKIN'."
We're told all of the $20k that was raised at the event, organized by the Great American Foundation, will be donated to the firefighter's families.

While following up on leads of gang activity, an unnamed law enforcement agency ended up in foot chase with one of the suspects. As an officer closed in on the suspect, he could hear his department's radio transmission, not from his own radio, but from the smartphone the suspect was carrying. The smartphone was tuned in to the transmissions in almost real time—only a three second delay, the officer said.
"Further investigation revealed that the general public, as well as criminal gang members and associates, are utilizing the website www.radioreference.com to listen to law enforcement secure channels streaming via the Internet," says a December 9 bulletin issued by the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center.
Radio Reference was created in 1998 to be a central location for communications reference information for public safety, amateur radio, and hobbyists. It is the world's largest radio communications data provider, according to its Web site, hosting more than 3,000 audio broadcasts from police, aircraft, EMS, and amateur radio broadcasts and making them available to its 500,000 members.
The fusion center bulletin said investigators have found at least 20 smartphone apps for monitoring police scanners. "This situation creates a concern for officer safety," says the bulletin. Maryland authorities say criminals can also use the information to conceal criminal activity, set up ambushes, and plan getaways.
Lindsay Blanton, president and owner of RadioReference, who reviewed the bulletin Thursday afternoon, called it "a pretty shallow alert to the law enforcement community."
"There are some pretty factually incorrect things in the bulletin. All of our audio feeds are on a 30-45 second delay," he said. "There's been one, maybe two, instances where the media reports that someone had a smartphone and was listening to communications while committing a crime. The interesting thing is that the person is caught every time."

Ryan Kelly will go on to have a long successful career in the NBA and tonight he witnessed first hand what a 7 footer with skill can do to a defense geared to stop him. Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points, dished out 5 assists, and led to Dallas Mavericks to a comfortable road win against the Lakers, 107-95, at Staples Center.
Nowitzki controlled the game from the outset, setting up teammates for layups and getting free for jumpers. He scored 8 in the period as the Mavericks jumped out to a 21-11 lead with 4:32 left in the 1st. Kent Bazemore and Jodie Meeks then led a 12-6 run to close out the quarter trailing 27-23.
In the 2nd, Nowitzki continued to assert himself in subtle ways, moving without the ball, grabbing offensive rebounds and scoring 9 points off of quick catch and shoot jumpers. Devin Harris orchestrated the Mavericks' attack with 5 assists, getting easy looks for Shawn Marion and Brendan Wright. The Lakers played their best stretch of the night in the 2nd with Jordan Hill, Bazemore, and Meeks leading a 10-0 run to close the gap with Dallas. Hill's 8 points allowed the Lakers to go into halftime with the lead 54-52.
Nowitzki and Marion took over the game in the 3rd as the Mavericks went on a 16-7 run to open the half, reclaiming the lead 68-61 with 4:32 remaining. Meeks scored 8 points in the quarter but didn't have much help from his teammates who went cold. After 3, the Mavericks were ahead 82-78.
Dallas opened the 4th with a 17-5 run that put the game away. Brendan Wright continued his strong play with 9 points midway through the quarter. The Lakers fell apart behind turnovers and lots of missed long range jumpshots. They were unable to mount a response and the game concluded without much suspense.
Brendan Wright scored 23 points, Samuel Dalembert had 14 and yet another team dominated the Lakers in the paint. Jodie Meeks scored 25 and Nick Young contributed 14. The Lakers shot 42% from the field and a dreadful 25% from three. They also committed 15 turnovers.
The Lakers play the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.

The Vibe for Spring 2013
Todd Snyder continued to evolve his rugged-meets-refined aesthetic this season by taking cues from The English Patient—but the only twisted yarns here were linen and metal, taking form in a slick military green suit. Tailored pieces, like earth-toned sport coats, added polish to dusty hued basics and sat atop washed cargo shorts. The rest of the lineup carried the thread of utility details throughout, from a desert sunset orange washed cotton parka to a white double-chest pocket dress shirt, smartly paired with an ivory tonal tie, with each look anchored by a lug sole boot. A collection suited for crossing the desert, right onto the city streets.

We already knew the Jeep was no longer a 4x4 and that the body sat atop a homebuilt rectangle tube chassis with a straight axle from an early GM van and a Ford 8-inch rear axle with airbags at all four corners to carry the weight. Until we crawled under it for the first time, we didn't know the rear ladder bars were held in place by grade-five bolts that didn't thread into nyloc nuts far enough for the nyloc to engage. Those bolts were in single shear, and bolted through an open-channel frame flimsy enough that we could collapse it by tightening the bolts. It got worse. The bag mounts were a mess and so were the welds. There wasn't a gusset to speak of to keep the mounts from bending under the heft of the Jeep, the shock bodies hit the mounts, and there were zero cotter pins in any of the castle nuts securing the steering and front suspension. It was a deathtrap, but a cool-looking one. Time was not on our side, so we sucked it up, fixed what we could in a parking lot, hit the road, and played Russian roulette, rat-rod style.
The Willys reminded us of the Sailor Jerry Model A sedan (the one we compared with a Lamborghini in the Sept. 2012 issue), minus the roof and lack of visibility. The same yoga-style driving position was required to operate the gas and brake pedals, and we are nearly deaf from the sound of the uncorked small-block's headers exiting directly below the firewall. Amazingly, it drove fairly straight when we could avoid bump-steering potholes, and when we found the right balance between air pressure in the bags and carpet padding atop the seats, it rode well enough to prevent us from slipping a disc. The no-seatbelt thing was even more of a concern than the complete lack of a windshield, since we sat more on the Jeep than in it. We got used to the severely limited turning radius (the tires hit the front fenders) and thoroughly enjoyed driving it 380-plus miles from El Segundo, California, to Parker, Arizona—until we encountered the dirt trail.
Our goal was to get to the Nellie E. Saloon, also known as the Desert Bar, built 12 miles outside of town and 5 miles up a rocky trail in the heart of the Buckskin Mountains. The solar-powered bar was built by an old man who doesn't appreciate the press poking around with cameras, but it's a favorite scenic watering hole of locals and off-road vehicle lovers. A smallish six-gallon gas tank, a broken shifter, and a transmission that leaked more fluid than we can drink in 45 minutes slowed our progress. Stuffing the front end into a dirt berm delayed our arrival until sundown, just an hour before closing time. The Jeep had its tongue hanging out; the rut-filled trail and a heavy right foot had caused one of the front airbag mounts to rip clean off the frame.
At the start of this trip we made the decision to sell the Jeep to whomever would pay our bar tab, and that's just what we did. HOT ROD reader John Cabotz paid $407 for the Willys and limped it on home, vowing to rebuild the suspension properly and hit the road on a similar journey. Good on ya! Hot Rod
It isn't new. In the '50s, HRM had quite a few engine-swap stories on Willys wagons, flatfenders, and CJ-5s. The transplants included Y-block Fords, small Chevys, and small-block Fords. There were also a few Jeeps drag-raced in the '60s, most notably the Funny Cars called Secret Weapon, Destroyer, and Holy Toldeo. The latter was owned by California Jeep dealer Brian Chuchua, who in 1965 also ran a CJ-6 (long-wheelbase CJ-5) with a swapped-in overhead-cam Tornado inline-six. The Jeep in the photo is a CJ-5 stretched in the nose and running in the Modified Sports class at the 1965 HOT ROD Magazine Championship drags. — David Freiburger
In the late '30s, the U.S. military was in need of a 1⁄4-ton-capacity 4x4, and the only company to supply a prototype on schedule was American Bantam (the same company that built the '32 Bantam roadsters that were often the basis for AA/Fuel Altereds). The design was considered to be government-owned, and the blueprints were shared with Ford and Willys-Overland (maker of the Americar, later a popular Gasser platform). All three companies altered the design a bit and provided prototypes for testing in 1940, leading to short production runs in early 1941. Standardization was soon required, and the government chose the Willys design, but by late 1941, there was concern that Willys could not meet volume demands, and that its single plant in Toledo could get bombed, halting production. Ford was then asked to build vehicles virtually identical to the Willys and with totally interchangeable parts. Ford identified its early Jeep bodies with a Ford script on the left rear, and even after the government put a stop to that branding, nearly every part on a Ford-built Jeep carries a script F. They are even cast on the heads of the bolts. — David Freiburger

I visited a friend in Dobbs Ferry, NY and he brought me to DeCicco's Market in Ardsley. The beer selection was great! They get Bell's in NY now, so I had to grab a six-pack. I'm always looking for something new - and trying not to spend all of my money - so I passed on the Two Heart's this time. I asked the beer guy what his second favorite Bell's was and grabbed a six pack of Oarsman Ale.
Oarsman came in at 4% ABV. There was lemon on the initial taste. It was slightly tart. There was a bit of chalk through the middle, but it was bad. This was a crisp brew. I wish Bell's would keep moving east into MA. A boy can dream…

Grab one. A leather one.
I want you to slide it across your skin. I want you to feel it.
Your arms. Your legs. Your neck. I want you to smell the leather.
Now, spread your legs.
Slap the insides of your thighs with it.
3 slaps, each thigh.
Feel the sting.
Then, slide it lightly up to your clit.
Feel the leather against your clit.
Leave it there.
While it's in place, slide your finger deep inside you.
Thrust in and out.
Feel the pleasure while the belt rests on your clit.
If that belt so much as leaves your clit, 3 more slaps, each thigh.
Keep going.
You have 3 options:
1 - cum while thrusting in and out as the belt rests on your clit.
2 - use the belt to rub your clit and cum.
3 - no cumming today.
Submit, Story. Enjoy.
Don't you know what happens when you walk around in the middle of the day in your undies?
What it does to me?
I have a feeling you do. That's why you keep doing it, isn't it dear?
You just want to see the look in my eyes.
My face as I walk over to you and grab your wrists.
Pin you up against the wall.
Run my hands all over your body, up your thighs, feeling those undies.
I see the smirk on your face.
Thats why this time, you're not getting what you think you're getting.
Your undies are staying on.
Lets see who the bigger tease can be.
My left hand, holding your wrists above your head tightly.
My right hand sliding down your stomach, right over your undies.
I rub through the fabric, you longing to feel my touch right on your clit.
My finger slides between your lips, still over the undies.
You moan.
I feel just how wet you're getting under them.
I rub harder.
You beg for me to take them off, but I tell you this is what you deserve.
I rub harder.
You beg again, saying you'll do anything I want… just one touch.
No, you're going to take exactly what I give, like a good little slut.
I force my finger inside you through the undies, you feel the fabric inch it's way into you.
You can't take anymore, but you stop squirming. Bite your lips harder. Stay still.
I keep my finger in, holding it there.
I lean in close to your ear and tell you this is what teasing gets you.
I slowly slide my finger out of your dripping wet pussy.
Bring it up to your mouth and make you lick it clean.
Now, I'm going to eat lunch.
Take those wet undies off and keep them off until told otherwise.
If you're good, maybe you'll get what you were begging for.

So on national television tonight Lebron James tells Cleveland to he has decided to abandon home for sunny Miami. Ouch. I hate basketball and even I hurt for the people of Cleveland. I mean, how much more insignificant can that city be now? Who are fans left to root for, the Browns?
If the Lebron James decision were translated over to the hockey world, this is what the announcement would be like:
In Pheonix: On the same day the NHL announces that Pheonix is scheduled to host the All-Star game in 2012, Gary Bettman announces he will move the team to Salt Lake City, Utah. Well, maybe that might be a smart move for the league, because then a guy who buys season tickets for the year will have to get enough for all his wives.
In Calgary: Dave Parkinson from Flame for Thought brought this up a little tonight on Rink Side Rants. The Sutter brothers, in a hope to bring back the glory days and try to bring a cup back to Calgary have resigned goaltender Mike Vernon.
So now that I have capitalized on the King James story, let me ask this question – why is it that ESPN can carry an hour special that only six cities care about – well hell, one city cared about after 20 minutes; but they can't cover a league that people care about in no less than 30 major markets?

Tinuviel has been dancing Raqs Sharki for 12 years, having studied mainly with the late Viktoriya Shershnova. She has been fortunate enough to have occasion to also learn from Aziza, Jillina, Aisha Ali, Dalia Carella, Sonia, Willow Chang, Nalini, Aradia and Stephanie Buranek. She danced with Viktoriya's troupe Ma'arwaak, founded and taught BYU Hawaii's Middle Eastern Dance Club. Described as ethereal, bright, fun and joyful, she strives to combine all these attributes and more in her dancing, in order to portray the joy she finds in life, and the love that she feels from her Heavenly Parents. She is wonderfully thrilled to have this chance to direct, and dance in "Bring Your Gifts" – to use her gifts to give hope and love to others, and honor the love and gift of God.
When Aylin discovered Middle Eastern dance, it was a life changing moment. The beauty of the movement, the expressive character of the dancer and the amazing music had her spellbound. Ever since then she has returned almost daily to the dance as a thirsty traveler seeks the oasis. She believes true Middle Eastern dance shows the heart and soul of the dancer.
Aylin enjoys dancing with a troupe or as a solo performer. She enjoys choreography, costume design and creation. In 2009 Aylin started the Sight of Water Dance Studio at the request of several students. She chose the name of her studio because the beauty of Middle Eastern Dance is as breathtaking as the sight of water in the desert.
In and out of Ballet, Jazz, and Hip Hop as a child, Brittany was in search of an opportunity to dance. She stumbled upon performing belly dancers on a night out with friends, and immediately became committed to learning the art. It was the perfect fit. She feels extremely lucky to be learning under the beautiful instructor Stephanie Buranek. Outside of dance Brittany is an independent woman working in a pharmacy, going to college, and oil painting on a regular basis.
Carl Moore Jr. resides in Orem with his wife Atalie and their 7 children. Carl loves to show our Great God's awesomeness and spread a message of love, by presenting his God given talent of dancing. He is a firm believer that God, in His mercy and grace grants us all in our undeserving state, many blessings daily. Understanding that all people have hardships whether they be emotional or physical and that it is apparent that many have difficulties to the extreme, and feel that they are not in control, we can find solace in a Creator who is Perfect and in complete control. Carl believes that Jesus Christ, the great I Am, is the last living sacrifice and paid the debts of sin, thereby redeeming us all, so that women and man can be complete in Him, and it is our prerogative to know and believe that He is who He says He is and enter into His rest, "for [His] yoke is easy, and [His] burden is light." Matthew 11:30

Irina started belly dancing in Ukraine in 2005, and found that belly dancing was addicting for her- graceful movements, magical music, beautiful costumes and amazing friends.It's also a fine art for her.

Odessa was born into troupe Little Armenia thirty something years ago, as much a gypsy as one could be. But it wasn't until 2004 when her dance audition was accepted by her mentor, Halima (creator and director of Desert Gypsy Dance Company), that she became a professional dancer. Her dance background is much more hand-me-down than professionally trained, thanks to her Mireeg's enchanting dancing and singing as she grew up. Currently Odessa is an instructor for the Covey Center Middle Eastern Dance program in Provo, UT; as well as a member of troupe Desert Gypsy and co-director for Desert Gypsy Dance Company. But her greatest joy is as a member of Little Armenia, a troupe of 3 (mother/daughter/sister), which is still going strong and continues to bring her closer to her roots. Outside of dance Odessa strives to be the mother that her mother is to her, and with three incredibly creative children to inspire her, dance holds unlimited possibilities. She has come a long way, and has a long way to go in her search to be what others have been for her in the world of dance. www.desertgypsydanceco.com

Islip to hold 'Help After Sandy' meeting
The Islip Town board will hold a "Help After Sandy" informational meeting Tuesday to bring residents together with agencies that can answer their questions as they try to return to normalcy after the superstorm wreaked havoc on the South Shore.
Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, New York State Office of Emergency Management, American Red Cross, and the New York State Department of Insurance as well as the town's planning and building department commissioners, hazmat representatives and environmental control department commissioners will be available to answer questions and guide residents on getting help for their homes.
As people start to rebuild, Islip Planning Commissioner Dave Genaway said last week the planning department has created an emergency repair permit, which costs $50 and will require less documentation than usually would be needed.

"We know there is going to be a spike in building permits, and we know most of those are going to be emergency repairs," Genaway said, adding that the permit can't be used for new square footage or additions.
The town also will waive the filing fee for permit applications when residents want to rebuild a garage or a structure destroyed in the storm. He said the fee typically can be up to $500.
"We realize everyone is really hurting here and we didn't want to create a process that was so onerous that no one would want to come in for building permits," Genaway said.
The meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. at Town Hall West, 401 Main St.

Employee theft is a problem that can affect almost any business, whether it is large or small. It is a subject that employers are often hesitant to discuss because no one wants to think about their employees being thieves. Of course, most employees are nothing of the sort. Most people do not think it is right to take things that are not theirs.
However, every company is going to have a few people who have no scruples and will steal property if they can get away with it. Below are some helpful tips to prevent employees from making off with your company property.
1. Maintain Personal Security at Work
It is very important that every employee is personally responsible for keeping track of their own property at work. For example, you should never leave your purse or your wallet in a place where others can take it. Keep your wallet in your pocket, or lock your purse in your desk.
You should be sure that your coat or jacket does not have valuables in it. Make sure all personal items of any value are safe when you leave your workspace, and if you have an office, lock the door when you are gone.
2. Maintain Departmental Security
It is very common for departments at a company to have very little security. You should always challenge any stranger that you see in your work area who is loitering. You should ask if they are not showing their ID, and call security if they will not produce it.
One of the biggest problems with employee theft is the stealing of office supplies. The fact is that 50% or more of employees nab a pen, note pad, pencils, paper and more on a regular basis for home use. This might not seem like a big deal but it can really add up to a lot in a large company.
The way to deal with this is to only give a few of your employees direct access to supplies for the office. That person is going to be responsible for passing out supplies as they are needed, and he or she should have to keep an inventory.
You also should have passwords given out for your copier. This will cut down on your employees using the company copier to print out their resume, their children's reports and so on.
3. Maintain Organizational Security
You should have policies in place to fight employee theft. For example:
- Have your policy on security in writing and make sure all employees know it. Communicate the penalties for stealing from the company. Make every employee acknowledge in writing that they have read these policies.
- Have ID badges for all employees and make everyone wear ID.
- Do background checks on your employees.
- Install cameras for security. If you have a place where office supplies are, this would be a great place to put a security camera.
- Have an employee in each department appointed as the security manager and have that person communicate policies as they change.
- Only allow certain people to have access to rooms where there is expensive equipment. Keep a log book of who goes into these rooms and when.
- You also can secure expensive company property (furniture, video equipment, cameras, laptops) with asset tags and labels (see image above). A good example of effective and affordable asset tag technology is at Mavericklabel.com.
- Have all serial numbers written down for expensive equipment.
4. Maintain Computer Security
Another big problem with employees these days is the 'theft' of company time by wasting time on the Internet. You should have a company policy on Internet browsing and enforce it. Many companies block social media sites such as Facebook. You should inform employees in your security policies that email and Internet traffic are monitored and audited periodically. Anyone who is seen to be abusing the use of the company Internet should understand the consequences.
Surfing websites not related to company business can also put the company servers at risk for viruses. So these sorts of activities need to be outlawed in your security policies.

› Cloud of Syria's war hangs over Lebanese cleric's death | Robert Fisk
[No] one could stop the inevitable questions. Was Syria's war at last sliding over the border into Lebanon? Did Bashar, fighting against the odds in Damascus, want to relight the ashes that have smouldered away beneath Lebanon since the Syrians left the country in 2005? Was this – capital letters here for every Lebanese newspaper headline – A RETURN TO THE CIVIL WAR?
Probably not. If eight civilians were killed in Tripoli last week in battles between Sunnis and pro-Syrian members of the Shia Alawi sect, many more have died in gun battles over the past 12 months in the neglected, poor streets of one of Lebanon's most beautiful cities.
Four years ago, at least 80 were killed in battles between the pro-Syrian Hezbollah and Sunni gunmen loyal to March 14th. Two years earlier, 1,300 Lebanese were killed in Israeli attacks following the capture of three Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah. There were Israeli invasions in 1996 and 1993. And if the 15-year civil war did end in 1990, there had been an earlier civil war between government and Druze militias in 1958. Lebanon is always enduring the greatest crisis since the last greatest crisis.
But the shooting in Beirut should not be diminished. Gunmen back on the streets of the capital produces a mixture of intense fear and weariness among the Lebanese. The fighting centred around the Berjawi family – Sheikh Shaker Berjawi, who was once pro-Palestinian and then pro-Mourabitoun, a particularly venal militia, and is now pro-Syrian, versus other members of his anti-Syrian extended family who support the Prime Minister Saad Hariri. But it spread from Tarek el-Jdeideh into the shopping district of Verdun and then moved towards the museum, the old civil war crossing point in Beirut.
The problem is that Syria now dominates Lebanon as surely as it did in the days when tens of thousands of its troops occupied much of the country. You only have to count how many times the phrases "pro-Syrian" and "anti-Syrian" appear in reports about Lebanon to grasp that the division between the government – electorally pro-Syrian and very much supported by Hezbollah and pro-Syrian Christian parties and the Shia Muslims – and the anti-Syrian Sunnis and Druze and Phalangist Christians is presently incurable.
But every time the Lebanese have been offered another civil war, they have turned it down. The young men and women educated outside Lebanon during the 1975-90 war do not want another conflict and are contemptuous of the sectarian politics, introduced by the French almost 100 years ago. And no one can forget who won the civil war: the one neighbouring power whose soldiers were stabled across the land, that rock-solid, secure dictatorship which would never suffer internal dissent, a nation called Syria.

I really like that Prabal Gurung dress on her. Im sure she doesn't wear a lot of labels off-court, but that shows just how frugal and non-superficial she is about money

Guest: Yonghwa, Nichkhun, Lee Joon, Siwan, Dujoon, Eunhyuk and Eunjung
AMAZING episode!!!!! Most guest were considered my number 1 biases from each group which made it more exciting and the games were all interesting and weren't draggy. I feel like each member on both teams received an equal amount of screen time, which is good. Lee Joon being a muscle idiot, Nichkhun winning the game, Dujoon racing it out, Eunhyuk and his skills, Siwan trying his best and of course running man members being as skillful as usual made this episode amazing. Unfortunately Jung yonghwa didn't get a chance to shine in this episode =(. Swithing teams between the hiders and the seekers was a really good idea, that way it's more fair. I'm happy this was a longer episode than usual but it would've been better if this was a two-parter. This episode has made its way to my second favourite running man episodes of all time. I'm looking forward to another episode like this one in the future!!

Traylon Shead, RB, Texas/SMU
Ht: 6'2″ Wt: 225 lbs.
Shead was one of the first players to declare and also one of the first expected to. Shead has skipped off-season workouts and hired an agent, which is normally a sign of entering the NFL Supplemental Draft. One of the most highly touted RBs in his High School class, Shead hit the big time collegiately by signing with the Texas Longhorns. It wasn't meant to be, as he was passed immediately by standout Freshman Malcom Brown with the man who beat his state record coming up fast.
Shead would transfer to Southern Methodist University, where he was expected to fill the void left by Zach Line, now of the Minnesota Vikings. Despite his coaches talking him up as "maybe the best running back that I have had play the position.", he was unable to make an impact for the Mustangs, ending his college career with only 51 carries for less than 200 yards and only 3 TDs. Injury played its part for the talented running back, who likely considered his window very small and closing to have any chance in the NFL.
Due to his lack of productivity in college, failure to win a spot at his college of choice, and injured end to his career at SMU, it's unlikely that any team will take a chance on using a pick on Traylon Shead. That doesn't mean teams won't be paying attention to the players, and there is a possibility the Lions could look at Shead to bring in for a workout down the line.
There hasn't been much chatter about Mikel Leshoure this offseason, despite the benefits of him being a part of the offense, and the team could look to fresher legs for carries in the interior. If Shead were to show well during a workout, he could end up a Lion sometime after the 2014 Supplemental Draft.
