I read this book while on vacation after graduating from college. As an Asian-American, the book was incredibly interesting in addressing the issues of never being quite "American enough" based on looks. Pham's book provides not only an insight into his trek from the US to Vietnam, but also into race relations over the past 30 or so years. Highly recommend it.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu turned to the citizens of Israel in an open letter on Saturday explaining his decision to release Palestinian prisoners as a gesture to the Palestinian Authority ahead of the renewal of peace talks in Washington next week.Netanyahu will take the decision to free the
prisoners before the cabinet on Sunday, Israeli officials said on
Saturday.Netanyahu has already agreed to free the prisoners, but
wanted cabinet approval to help overcome qualms among Israelis about
freeing inmates convicted of involvement in lethal attacks, Israeli
officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Opposition to prisoner release within coalition
Likud ministers said Netanyahu was pressuring them to support the prisoner release. But Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz told The Jerusalem Post he intended to vote against it."I cannot vote to free terrorist murderers, harm bereaved families, and encourage terror," Katz said. "I made my view very clear a week ago, so there is no point in pressuring me."Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett announced that his party's ministers would vote against the prisoner release. A source close to a Yisrael Beytenu minister said the party's ministers would be permitted by their leader Avigdor Liberman to vote according to their conscience.Deputy ministers Danny Danon and Avi Wortzman called upon ministers to vote against the proposal, which Wortzman called "dangerous and senseless." Land of Israel Caucus co-chairmen Yariv Levin (Likud) and Orit Struck (Bayit Yehudi) called the proposal "a shameful surrender to terror.""Israel is surrendering yet again," Levin (Likud) and Struck said in a joint statement. "The pace in which the government is backtracking from its declared positions before the talks have begun is very worrying."

Award Abstract #1055675
PECASE: Microrobot Legs for Fast Locomotion over Rough Terrain
Sarah Bergbreiter, University of Maryland College ParkCAREER: Microrobot Legs for Fast Locomotion over Rough TerrainABSTRACTThe objective of this research is to create microrobot legs that will enable microrobots to walk, and even run, over rough terrain. The approach is to model viscoelastic microrobot legs in a dynamic simulation environment, and to experimentally validate these models using a new microfabrication process that includes viscoelastic materials.Intellectual Merit: The results of this work will lead to the first sub-centimeter robots that can move quickly over complex surfaces, in addition to a wealth of data to enhance our understanding of insect locomotion. Insects like cockroaches use control mechanisms embedded in their legs to prevent them from tipping over at high speeds. These same ideas can be ported to microrobots by using viscoelastic materials for dynamic stability control. Specific innovations will include parameterized models for microrobot legs, fabricated artificial insect legs with tailored compliance and damping, and integration with actuators to test the microrobot legs on different surfaces. Broader Impacts: Microrobots that move through real-world environments at insect-like speeds can search through small cracks in rubble after natural disasters, provide low-cost sensor deployment over civil infrastructure, and engage in stealthy surveillance. In addition, robust, viscoelastic mechanisms similar to these legs can provide breakthroughs in applications like minimally invasive surgery and micromanufacturing. The educational objective of this proposal is to dramatically increase participation in microrobotics research. Currently, researchers who want to work on microrobots need access to multi-million dollar cleanroom facilities. An open-source microrobotics program will be developed using a microrobot prototyping process that does not require cleanroom access.

I like to jump, preferably onto my brother's back and squish him into the floor.
I also like to jump all over my Mum and Dad, although Mum says I am getting
too heavy for this now, she calls me a heffalump!
I love the snow. It is great fun burying your head in snow drifts.
I also like water, I can get away from my brother if I go swimming as he is a scaredy cat
My best friend is Canem (my brother), my other friends were Seth and Taffy,
although we moved away from them. I still see Seth when we go for walks. Simba has moved in next door
he is real cute. Canem seems to think that Chaos loves him, but she's told me he is just a friend.
I love big and little people. My favourite people are my Mum and Dad.
I also love Linda and Randy. I met my Aunt from England 1 week after I came to live with
Mum and Dad. She is fun. James is fun as well.
I will do anything for food! I've heard that we are going camping soon,
that sounds like fun, I hope there is lots of water.

I fucked him in the bathroom at Cedar Point. if it hadn't been for me already combining my two favorite things in the world the whole bathroom thing would have been a little disgusting.
I just had my first experience getting hit on by a guy. It was really awkward, he touched my chest and invited me to a gay bar because "women get drunk and let their guard down at gay bars"
thats actually pretty good logic
he kept a regular condom in his wallet just so he could comment on how it wouldnt fit before whipping out the magnums. i give him points for the build up
Apparently I confessed my love for him last night. Also, my love for cash4gold commercials.
Yes I have a handle on life. A handle of Svedka.
random memory from the wedding, the bartender show us how to open the windows of the hotel and pee out of them
Only Jon could get an entire commuter train to chant "Ride! Jon! Home!" to get a girl in bed.
Besides the fact that the only male who has shown an interest in me in the last 5 months has a strange and unfortunate resemblance to fucking Frodo, I've been good thanks
Nothing says casual like stairwell bjs
i just got banned from the m&m's website for trying to get poon slayer written on my custom order
That was a very uncomfortable conversation to have without pants on. But his mom was pretty cool about it.

The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answersby Ben Horowitz

A lot of people talk about how great it is to start a business, but only Ben Horowitz is brutally honest about how hard it is to run one.
In The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz and one of Silicon Valley's most respected and experienced entrepreneurs, draws on his own story of founding, running, selling, buying, managing, and investing in technology companies to offer essential advice and practical wisdom for navigating the toughest problems business schools don't cover. His blog has garnered a devoted following of millions of readers who have come to rely on him to help them run their businesses. A lifelong rap fan, Horowitz amplifies business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs and tells it straight about everything from firing friends to poaching competitors, from cultivating and sustaining a CEO mentality to knowing the right time to cash in.
His advice is grounded in anecdotes from his own hard-earned rise—from cofounding the early cloud service provider Loudcloud to building the phenomenally successful Andreessen Horowitz venture capital firm, both with fellow tech superstar Marc Andreessen (inventor of Mosaic, the Internet's first popular Web browser). This is no polished victory lap; he analyzes issues with no easy answers through his trials, including
- demoting (or firing) a loyal friend;
- whether you should incorporate titles and promotions, and how to handle them;
- if it's OK to hire people from your friend's company;
- how to manage your own psychology, while the whole company is relying on you;
- what to do when smart people are bad employees;
- why Andreessen Horowitz prefers founder CEOs, and how to become one;
- whether you should sell your company, and how to do it.
Filled with Horowitz's trademark humor and straight talk, and drawing from his personal and often humbling experiences, The Hard Thing About Hard Things is invaluable for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new ventures.
Editorial Reviews
Horowitz, a tech entrepreneur turned venture capitalist, offers hard-earned business advice and a compendium of the best posts from his popular blog (ben's blog). For the budding tech mogul, this is heady stuff, and politic to heed, as his firm, Andreesen Horowitz, is a nearly $3 billion powerhouse that has invested in winners, including Skype, Facebook, Groupon, Twitter, and Zynga. But shrewd investing decisions don't make for riveting prose, as Horowitz repeatedly trots out war and military metaphors to describe the struggle to sustain past businesses. Horowitz is far sharper when he's blunt and candid. Admitting that as a CEO he was always scared is far more useful to the aspiring mogul than heading many chapters with hip-hop lyrics describing street corner struggles. Though passages about minimizing office politics and how a startup executive might grow into managing a larger business contain novel insights, most of the useful observations come from citing other titans, including Intel CEO Andy Grove, Intuit head Bill Campbell, and management guru Tony Robbins. This manual reads as a collection of war stories from the 1990s boom-and-bust era blended with platitudes from an older generation of established business leaders. Agent: Amanda Urban. (Apr.)

Another Juneau man is going to jail for his role in a federal drug trafficking case.
Darren Louis Wigg, 34, was sentenced Wednesday to five years behind bars. Wigg's co-defendant, Edward Hausinger, 49, was sentenced to two years in prison on July 27th.
According to a release from the U.S. Attorney's office, Juneau Police had been investigating Wigg for dealing cocaine.
Investigators intercepted a package containing both cocaine and ecstasy. After replacing the drugs, and fitting the package with an electronic beacon, Drug Enforcement Administration agents delivered it to Hausinger's business — Southeast Computer and Photography.
Hausinger took it to a room rented by Wigg at the Alaskan Hotel.
Officers arrested both men when the package was opened, setting off the beacon.

Sen. Mike Lee, Dirk Kempthorne, Joel Osteen meet with Pope Francis at Vatican
Sharon Lee
WASHINGTON — A small group of political and religious leaders from the United States, including Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, met privately with Pope Francis at the Vatican today.
Part of a multiday, unofficial visit to Italy to promote ecumenical prayer and interfaith understanding, Lee was joined in the private audience by former U.S. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne; Lakewood Church pastor and televangelist Joel Osteen; Tim Timmons, a pastor and author based in Newport Beach, California; and Gayle D. Beebe, president of Westmont College, an evangelical school in Santa Barbara, California.
Lee said The International Foundation, a private nonprofit, arranged the trip.
The Utah Republican conversed with the Pope in Spanish, which is the pontiff's mother tongue, about the need for faith in Jesus Christ and to build families. Lee, who served a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, speaks fluent Spanish.
"I was told it would not only be the proper protocol, but also appreciated if I were to address him in Spanish," Lee said in a telephone interview from Rome. "The invitation to meet came from Pope Francis' desire to invite more people to come unto Jesus Christ," he added.
Lee said Francis asked his guests to pray that more people would serve and protect the family.
Ecumenical outreach
According to a Westmont College statement, the pontiff "invited the Protestant leaders to discuss the question: 'Can we find common ground in order to advance the life and ministry of Jesus so more people can experience the joy of Christian faith?'"
Lee and his wife were apparently the only members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the delegation.
"There was a very good spirit with him. I enjoyed the interaction," Lee added. "He's a very humble man."
Lee said he told Francis about the ecumenical prayer breakfasts held in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, and that the pope replied he supported such ventures. But beyond that and the usual pleasantries, Lee said, the pontiff had no specific message for him.
During his days in Rome, Lee said, he observed Francis in action when the pope met with more than 50,000 charismatic Roman Catholics during a worship service at Rome's Olympic Stadium. After arriving in a Ford Focus and asking the crowd for prayers, Lee said, the pontiff knelt on the ground to pray, the traditional "kneeler" cushion not being available.
A former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Francis Rooney, applauded the pope for meeting with the group. "I think the Pope, in reaching out, is broadening the concept of ecumenical dialogue, and he's reaching out to people who can touch other Christians," Rooney said
He noted that Pope John XXIII reached out to Jewish leaders, "having served as a papal nuncio (ambassador) and appreciated (their) plight" during World War II. And Pope John Paul II, who along with John XXIII was canonized in April, continued the outreach to Jews and included Eastern and other Orthodox Christian leaders, Rooney explained, and now Francis is widening the circle.
"This pope's a whirlwind," Rooney said. "He's making a great contribution to the world, I think. He's doing great things for the world. I think the Pope, in reaching out, is broadening the concept of ecumenical dialogue and he's reaching out to people who can touch other Christians."

On Friday night, Zayn shared a photo on Instagram that seemed to suggest that he had gotten a tattoo on his head.
Considering Zayn's storied history with questionable tattoos, it was not entirely implausible that he had, in fact, added some permanent ink to his face. Though the tattoo's legitimacy was debated all through the weekend on Twitter, Gigi Hadid seems to have settled things once and for all on Snapchat.
ZAYN on Gigi's snapchat, isn't his face tattoo supposed to be there ? I don't see it pic.twitter.com/cQmPQTOyzb
— *holli* SLFL|119 (@xo_njh_xo) March 14, 2016
In Gigi's most recent snap, Zayn and his shaved head are there, but the right side of his head appears remarkably tattoo-free. We're thinking the temporary ink was most likely part of a new music video — he was seen shooting a few days before he debuted the tattoo. So while the tat will live forever in film, it won't, thankfully, live on his face.

The Motril Airshow is a fairly small beach event. This year there will be a Eurofighter doing a display. Probably only one, but I won't know till the Sunday after the FlightNight when we plan on going there. Anyway we can can provide more than one aircraft.
Both flight plans and the beach AI scenario are now available in this .zip:
Route: We'll be taking off from their Morón Air Base (ICAO: LEMO) and forming up at Malaga (LEMG).
The beach is at 36.716876, -3.545749. Flight Plan for the second part:
The area covered, shown in red, in TerraMaster:
Aircraft specs: If you haven't managed to master one of the many Eurofighter variants by then, even though it may be a bit embarrassing for you, I suppose anything that can keep up will do
Conditions: Live weather - because the show must go on!
Comms will be on TeamSpeak

Altec Lansing inAir 5000 pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
Pocket-lint is a big fan of the speakers that San Diego based Altec Lansing offers up. In the past, we've awarded the prestigious "Hot Product" tag to the inMotion Air and the Octiv 202 and the Octiv 450 scored pretty highly as well.
So were delighted to be shown, during a one-to-one briefing with the company's director of network media products Vincenzo Giuliani over at IFA, an Altec Lansing AirPlay enabled speaker that we're told will be coming soon.
Although he wasn't keen to give too many details away of the inAir 5000, Giuliani did tell us a few of the more interesting aspects to the high-end setup.
The tear-drop shape, we're told, is to provide a better sound with a more natural path for sound waves due to the non-parallel walls. There's also a tri-amp platform in place, along with neodymium tweeters, 3-inch kevlar mids and a long throw sub-woofer, which he showed off to us by playing Jack Johnson's Taylor, which sounded superb when the bass kicked in.
On the back there's a USB for charging your devices, Ethernet should you require a wired-connection and also an aux-in. The inAir 5000 will also come with an iOS app that will guide you through the router set-up process.
The inAir 5000 looks awesome - fanboys are going to love the white plastic / brushed aluminium finish and the remote is so stylish that it looks as if it could have even come straight out of Cupertino.
The Altec Lansing inAir 5000 should land before Christmas, no word on pricing as of yet.

Latest Headlines
Apple quietly struck a deal late last year to use Google Cloud Platform in a move that has enabled it to cut back its dependence on Amazon Web Services, according to a report from CRN.
Maybe those recent rumors of "peak iPhone" were premature after all. The Wall Street Journal reports that Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty said this week that demand for the iPhone this quarter has exceeded expectations and that the expected new version could "provide an additional boost."
The popular mobile messaging app WhatsApp is increasingly using encryption that is impeding the government's ability to access users' information, The New York Times reported. The situation mirrors Apple's battle against the U.S. Department of Justice over law enforcement access to the iPhone.
The U.S. Justice Department fired back at Apple in the high-profile San Bernardino shooting case, saying the iPhone vendor's claims about privacy and encryption are false and that it deliberately raised technological barriers to prevent law enforcement officials from breaking into the device.
Swatch Group CEO Nick Hayek said the company won't rush to launch high-tier smart watches, despite losing ground to companies including Apple and Samsung in the mainstream market.
Samsung said it will launch a new phone upgrade program for users in South Korea this week, enabling them to switch to new smartphones once a year.
Sales of the iPhone over the three-month period through January have slowed in urban China to their lowest levels since late 2014, according to new data from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. Which is more bad news for Apple in a sagging global smartphone market.
More than three dozen tech companies have filed legal briefs on behalf of Apple in its battle with the FBI over encryption. But very few carriers and smartphone vendors are going out on that limb.
Broadcom said it will slash 1,900 jobs around the world in the wake of its $37 billion acquisition by Avago Technologies.
Apple would face fines of €350,000 ($383,778) and potential jail time in France if it adopted the same stance towards opening up access to encrypted data as it currently has in the U.S., under draft laws proposed by French parliamentary deputies.

surely you remember those days? too much of an alcoholic to keep a job, etc?
you were the one living them. we were all just along for the ride through your bscene narrations. don't put it on the damn internet if you cant handle criticism from people in a position to criticize somebody who behaves like that.
in those days there was a world of good a man like new england could teach an aimless youth like yourself... and i'm five years younger than you are..
i remember scolding you for stealing beer from a storefront.
i also remember commending you for turning your life around. it's admirable to think that you've made such a turn around and are providing a good life for your son
you might scare some of these guys with your street crap, but you do not scare me.

Woke up with a crazy hangover, slept over my friends house. Got like 3 and a half hours sleep. Before I leave, he had a hooker stopping by. She was Hispanic I guess, pretty face, thick thighs and big butt. .

Method and mechanism for implementation-independent, on-line, end-to-end detection of faults in self-checking queues in digital hardware systems
Image Number 3 for
United States Patent #8024632
A method and apparatus are provided for detecting faults in a queue (also known as FIFO) in a digital system. The method augments the FIFO with an external monitoring mechanism which, on demand, checks the FIFO's operation and alerts the system to malfunctioning of the FIFO's control mechanism or corruption of data contained therein. The detection apparatus does not depend on the implementation of the FIFO; the checking is based solely on observing the data entering and exiting the FIFO. Furthermore, the apparatus works in a non-intrusive manner during a normal operation of the FIFO as part of the system. The method and apparatus allow for many variants, all derived from the same general scheme, and which allow different levels of protection against faults.

Any Enterprise iOS application should feature some important features. Firstly Security, so encrypt your users application data on the device and that is in addition to any other Device Management & Security that you should be using. Check out Afaria which uses Apple's MDM. Secondly support for Mobile Working, that will work in both off-line and on-line modes, even though connectivity is getting better and better, there will always be the chance of a 'dead-zone'. Finally Integration with existing 'legacy' back office systems, extending existing Enterprise Applications into the Mobile world.
Last year I asked myself, What is available for iOS devices in the world of Enterprise Data Synchronization? So to investigate the issue I spoke to an expert friend of mine with years of iPhone development, and before that core Objective-C.
My scenario went like this... I want an app that uses SQLite on the device. I would want that device to get DB updates/records, securely over the air, specific to that user and I want the database to be secure. Those updates/records I want to come from a Server DB, that could be any of the Enterprise Database. I want the user to use the application, which could add, delete or create new records in the device database, then the application should send its changes back securely across the air to the Enterprise DB.
My friend thought on it for a while then said... Based on what you've written, then I would suggest some possibilities:
- Wrap any edits to the local database on the iPhone and store the rowId/pk of the changes (for any/all affected changes). Somehow you'll need to store this extra information to facilitate synchronization. This has its own set of issues since you'll probably need to rely on the user's clock being set correctly etc. Then you'll need a way to compare those changes to any incoming data as below.
- You describe "secure updates over the air" but you don't specify what you mean by that. So, will there be a button that the user presses to refresh the data on the phone? Or will this be some kind of background thread? How often will updates be synchronized? Does it only connect via Wi-fi or is cellular reliable enough to sync, etc. Will you use https with an XML payload or are you going to write some kind of custom socket level stuff to handle secure communication?]
- Since there are no native database client libraries for all practical purposes then maybe you'll need to invent a web service for updating modified records and downloading new updates. What do you do when there is a conflict between what the user has chosen and the updates coming in?
- At which point, depending on the size of these databases, you might have been better off implementing an intermediary web application/middle tier that handles the actual synchronization, since it is complicated...
The conversation paused, with my head spinning. Dude I don't want to do any of that, I thought to myself. You're right, it's hard and I just want to concentrate on my business problem. I know the Enterprise Database I want to synchronize with and I know the subset of tables, that I want on my iPhone. What you do not want to do is write a synchronization solution, but to reply on a technology leader & innovator that has immense experience. As you can see from the figure below, Sybase has been in this space since 1992 and introduced Mobile Computing Sync in 1995.
Step in the MEAP solution from Sybase, it uses SQLite and Message Based Synchronization (MBS) bi-directional and with a secure database. The changes for the database are continuously sent back and forth keeping the database on the device and the back-end databases in sync, even if the device has been offline/disconnected for a while. NOTE - from now on I will use the term Remote Database for that on the Device and Consolidated Database for the back-end.
- Pub-Sub model - SUP publishes MBS packages and mobile applications subscribe to them
- Valid credential is required for subscription and for all messages
- Once subscribed, server is responsible for maintaining the state of the subscriber via messages until un-subscription
- Publishers and subscribers are decoupled by reliable messaging
- Server maintains states of each subscription via timestamp based mechanism
If you already have experience of SQL Anywhere and Mobilink then check out SQL Anywhere 12 for Mac OS X includes UltraLite, a lightweight relational database and data synchronization client for the iPhone and iPad. iPhone SDK developers can use UltraLite to build robust mobile applications, extending enterprise data to mobile users. Check out a data sheet here
