Laogai Museum in D.C. focuses on human rights abuses in ChinaRoundup: Pop Culture & the Arts ... Movies, Documentaries and Museum Exhibits
The faded patchwork coat and pants once belonged to an accused counterrevolutionary named Liu Zhuanghuan, who spent a decade at a forced labor camp during China's brutal Cultural Revolution.
His son was confined to the same camp but never allowed to see his father. One exception was made: He was allowed to identify his father's body and collect his belongings after Zhuanghuan committed suicide in 1973.
Zhuanghuan's tattered clothing — and the human suffering it represents — are now part of a collection of artifacts, photos, videos, books and government documents on display at the recently expanded Laogai Museum in Northwest Washington.
The Dupont Circle museum is intended to showcase human rights abuses in China, particularly the Communist regime's use of prisons to punish dissenters. It was created by Harry Wu, 74, a human rights activist who spent 19 years in forced labor camps....

Looking back on this year, people may remember May 2011 as the month when President Barack Obama decisively – if only briefly – helped unify the nation by dealing a symbolic blow to the world's most feared terrorist organization. And the May 1 raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan may be cited as one of his most important political actions, if he is re-elected in 2012.
Only a month ago, Obama's hold on a key constituency – Latinos – was in serious question, largely because he had failed to take action on reforms he had promised. April is the cruelest month – the price we pay for rebirth, renewal, and resetting priorities. And it was a tough month for Obama's Latino marketing strategy. But the question remains: Will May matter more than April?
Let's look back on April. First we heard that although the President continues to enjoy high approval ratings among Latinos – he won 67 percent of the Latino vote in 2008 – voters could sit out the next election if they felt little progress was made on immigration. Then we heard – this time from the Pew Hispanic Center – that even though Latinos showed up in record numbers for the 2010 election – one million more Latinos voted in 2010 than in 2006 – a record margin of Latinos actually did not vote. And in the middle of all the pessimistic number crunching, Obama exposed himself to criticism – from friends and foes alike – for seeking the advice of Latino celebrities on what to do about immigration, the number-one umbrella issue for many Latino voters today. The President's PR flub obscured the news that he had met earlier in the month with a group of most non-celebrity policy experts to discuss the same issue. Sometimes you can't win.
Few doubt that Obama cannot regain momentum with Latino voters as the 2012 election cycle begins to unfold. And it wouldn't surprise many people if the President enjoys a big lift in popularity among Latinos after the May Day raid on the Osama bin Laden compound; Latinos have played an enormously important role in the military and the experience of 9/11 still has the power to unify people across the political spectrum.
But the negative buzz last month revealed a surprising lack of preparedness on the part of the Obama administration. Latinos are expected to play a huge role in the next presidential election, but we see little evidence that the President and his team are responding to the new voter realities. In other words the playbook appears to be missing. Rather than wait for it to appear, I thought I'd take the liberty of outlining what the President might need to do to meet the Latino challenge for 2012.
More than ever, it's about youth. The Pew study revealed a number of interesting trends. Naturalized, foreign-born Latinos are more likely to vote than native-born Latinos (37 percent versus 29 percent). Latino college graduates turn out to vote in greater numbers. But the biggest surprise – for some – were stats on young Latino voters: only 17.6 percent of eligible young Latinos voted in the 2010 elections, versus 37.4 percent of Latinos ages 30 and older. Why is this so important? Well, first you need to understand that while the number of Latino voters is going up each election cycle, a lot of these voters are Latinos reaching voting age. If the percentage of these folks who actually vote is actually low, there's a huge opportunity. Second, only 42.7 percent of the nation's Latino population is eligible to vote; that's a quite small proportion compared to other groups (77 percent of whites, and 67 percent for blacks). Why? For one thing, 22.4 percent of Latinos in the United States are of voting age, but cannot vote because they are not citizens. Another 35 percent cannot vote because they are under the age of 18. As a result, political candidates need to court eligible young Latino voters. Not at the expense of courting other Latino voters, of course, but this is a huge opportunity that will play a decisive factor in 2012 and beyond. Many more young Latinos will reach voting age from now until 2050.
More than ever, it's about immigration. It's not the only issue that matters to many Latinos – a "metatribe" with diverse political interests. But it's one of the few that have in fact emerged as an umbrella issue. Obama's tentative response to immigration reform – after making campaign promises to make reform a priority in his first year in office – has created a big political liability which he must now seek to erase. That helps to explain the April meetings with celebrity and non-celebrity roundtables. But it's going to take more than roundtables to turn this around – and it's going to require youth. In the meantime, Obama has identified another umbrella issue for Latinos old and young: education. In an announcement that got little play in comparison to the Latino celebrity roundtable, the Obama administration signaled its commitment to improving the rate at which Latinos enter community colleges and vocational schools, often a stepping-stone to four-year colleges, if not just better jobs. There may also be a long-term voter-recruitment element to Obama's education strategy. As noted earlier, the April Pew study found that better educated Latinos voted in greater numbers (50.3 percent).
More than ever, it's about social. But social has changed. Of course, education matters to many young Latinos. And so does immigration, as evidenced by the remarkable number of young Latinos mobilized by the Dream Act, proposed legislation that would grant permanent residency to the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. Passage of the measure failed in the lame-duck session in Congress late last year, but plans to reintroduce it this year are in motion. But for the President to engage the young Latinos who have been carrying the flag for the Dream Act, it will require that he show some of the digital ingenuity that distinguished the 2008 campaign. Since that time, the cutting edge of digital has evolved, from a practice that was more about conversation (social media) to a practice that is almost equally about action (the bigger promise of social technology). In recent months, reporters and bloggers have begun to pick up on this, chronicling stories of how Dreamers have patched together an ad hoc network that can be used to help Latinos targeted for deportation. (See this story.)
At a time when the President is being urged to at least use his executive powers to selectively halt the number of deportations that are happening on his watch – a record number – the modus operandi of his administration seems oddly out of sync with that of the most politically potent Latino social movement today. At the celebrity roundtable, Obama urged that Latino leaders to engage in "a constructive national conversation on this important issue. To win the young Latino vote and "win the future" – the emerging Obama slogan for 2012 – might require that we stop talking and start doing, and social has in fact evolved to facilitate that.
As the May Day raid demonstrated, the President is capable of taking action. The only question is, can he commit to taking action on behalf of a constituency that could re-elect him in 2012.

SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/16/14 -- The Board of Directors of the San Diego Ad Club announced a name change today at their 10th annual Interactive Day San Diego, the West coast's premier digital marketing conference.
The name change to SDX reflects the evolution of the advertising, marketing, and communications industries that the organization has grown to represent. According to Tonya Mantooth, president, "In our world of building brands and engaging customers there have been seismic changes in the past 10 years. Technology has redefined our business and will continue to do so."
"SDX is the intersection of media, marketing, technology, and innovation. Most importantly SDX is an invitation to explore, create, and imagine what's next in the world of marketing," added Mantooth.
As the business of marketing communications has evolved, the issue of a possible name change has been a topic of discussion by the Board of Directors for several years. A strategic planning process that started nearly two years ago focused on how this organization could best serve its increasingly diverse membership base, now and into the future.
At 103 years old, SDX is one of San Diego's oldest business associations. The original name was the San Diego Advertising and Sales Club and was founded in 1911 to help promote the upcoming California Panama Exposition in 1915. The organization was also responsible for starting the Better Business Bureau chapter in San Diego in the early '20s and has a strong legacy of community involvement.
As San Diego's most progressive business marketing resource today, SDX provides industry-leading advocacy, best-in-class education, and unparalleled networking opportunities. SDX delivers access to San Diego's integrated media, marketing, and tech organizations, serving the region's top companies, people, and leaders.
"With our membership at an all-time high with nearly 300 companies and close to 700 individual members represented, the timing was right to make the name change and bridge the gap between perception and reality. SDX membership is not comprised of just advertising. Our umbrella includes all creative communications and technology endeavors. We firmly believe that by providing a platform for sharing ideas, our San Diego region can take its place as a leader in digital marketing," said Mantooth.
SDX will continue to host the popular Brand Diego Awards, which celebrates the best and brightest of San Diego's homegrown brands and those that tend to them. It will also continue the popular tradition of the American Advertising Awards, a national competition that recognizes significant achievement in the creative arts and campaign development.
The roll-out of the new name is expected to take approximately 90-120 days. For more information, go to SanDiegoX.org.

Releasing Douglas-firs from Varnishleaf Ceanothus
Abstract:Well-stocked stands of young Douglas-firs are often found under dense overstories of varnishleaf ceanothus, but tree growth is retarded by shrub shade and competition for soil moisture. Aerial spraying effectively released Douglas-firs, and their growth was 1.7 to 2.5 times that of comparable trees under unsprayed ceanothus. A similar but less dramatic response was obtained by basal spraying varnishleaf ceanothus on small plots. A herbicidal treatment is suggested for releasing Douglas-firs from varnishleaf as soon as the trees are well established on such sites.

The Weird, True History Of The Wrap Dress
It's hard to deny the wrap dress' icon status — for 40 years, it's been one of the hardest working garments in any hard-working woman's wardrobe. Invented by Diane von Furstenberg in 1974, the frock is flattering, versatile, and easy to wear, pack, and style. So, it's no wonder the wrap dress has played a huge role in the lives of two generations of women.
But, did you know that in the beginning, the wrap dress wasn't a dress at all? Says von Furstenberg, "It started as a wrap top and skirt, and I thought it would make a simple and sexy dress. I had no idea it would be such a phenomenon. It was so effortless, and it allowed women to go to work and still feel like women…I used to travel all over the country, meeting someone in different cities and helping them to tie their wrap dresses. I could always see the way it changed a woman once she put it on…It was a very empowering thing for me, and for them."
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the wrap dress, DVF is asking anyone with a personal connection to the piece to send in stories and photos (and let's be serious — we probably all have one). Your anecdotes and tokens will be shared on dvfwrapstory.com for an upcoming project.

Studying religion
This course will give you an opportunity to think about some of the key concepts and methods of the discipline of religious studies. You will meet examples of different forms of religious practice and belief, mostly from Britain and India, and will compare the ways in which boundaries are drawn (or not drawn) between what is held to be 'religious' and 'non-religious' in two different societies.
The aim of this course is to explore three key questions:
- Why study religion?
- What is religion?
- How should religion be studied?
The course begins with a series of video clips on religion in Liverpool.

Plan now for future floods, urge scientists
Plan now for future Hutt floods, urge scientistsMATT STEWART
Relevant offers
Hutt Valley
The Hutt River has a long history of flooding, and a new study says it will only get worse with climate change during the next century.
Apart from the threat to the valley's 130,000 residents, $6 billion in assets would be at risk - the cost of a breach in one of Lower Hutt's stopbanks has been put at as much as $1.7b.
Focusing on the Hutt River, the Victoria University-based New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute has looked at the rift developing as the need for constantly evolving responses to climate change collides with local authorities' desire for fixed planning systems.
"Our research shows that local government agencies, which are responsible for much of the decision-making dealing with climate-related impacts, are increasingly aware of the need to take action," research team leader Professor Martin Manning says.
"However, it has also identified a number of barriers that create inertia and resistance in the communities they serve."
The team produced reports on future flood scenarios in the Hutt Valley, and studies on a sea-level rise in Auckland, water management in Wellington, and the implications climate change has for local government decision-making.
Although stopbanks and other flood-protection systems shield crucial infrastructure such as Hutt Hospital, Prof Manning says the "bottom line" is that these guardians of life and property will have to be raised again and again.
More frequent flooding in the Hutt Valley will impair the flood-protection standards of existing and planned stopbanks, and produce continuing uncertainty.
Although not dramatic, increases in extreme weather are a definite trend. The prolonged closure of the Manawatu Gorge because of slips from heavy rain last year is a prime example, he says.
"We're not trying to be alarmist. We're alerting people to the fact that they have to start the process of risk management and address the long lead time for infrastructure change."
Flood-risk management in New Zealand is primarily the domain of local government.
This creates unique issues in the context of climate change because handling that escalating risk will require ever greater localised technical and financial clout and challenge the often short-term planning horizons of local authorities.
The Hutt Valley study included a survey of residents, which highlighted some of the issues faced by local authorities and property owners.
"Homeowners who have experienced flooding first-hand tend to be better prepared," Prof Manning says. "But if they sell their house and move on a few years down the track, the new owners don't necessarily have an appreciation of the risk and often don't take precautionary measures.
"It shows that while you can build resilience to risks, that resilience can also collapse over time. There is a similarity between the responses to extreme weather events and to major earthquakes, which can start with action and then fade away by not addressing the ongoing risk."
General understanding of flood risk levels was low in the Hutt Valley and few people had seen flood-hazard maps, the survey found.
The team concluded that effective flood-risk communication was vital, but found that hazard scenarios going ahead 50 or 100 years, often used by scientists to illustrate the potential impacts of climate change, were not the most effective way of getting people's attention.
To combat the communication breakdown, the team has developed a more close-to-home flood-risk evaluation.
Instead of mapping out scenarios, the new method brings to mind wet feet or worse by showing the likelihood of above-floor-level inundation in the Hutt Valley floodplain under different flood strengths.
Greater Wellington regional council developed a 40-year blueprint for flood protection in the Hutt Valley in 2001 - the Hutt River Floodplain Management Plan. The plan is open to review every 10 years or earlier if flood hazards change.
1855 - The river rises higher than ever seen before, destroying the third Hutt bridge.
1858 - Nine people die in Taita after a massive flood bursts the river's banks.
1878 - Two big floods sweep the valley, inundating the entire floodplain.
1893 - A large flood swamps some Petone properties to more than a metre.
1898 - The largest recorded flood covers the valley floor, rising 90cm in 30 minutes. A second flood prompts building of first major stopbanks.
1931 - A flood threatens Lower Hutt city as the river rises 5.2m. Manor Park Bridge and Haywards suspension bridge swept away.
1939 - A devastating deluge covers hundreds of acres. The entire valley from Silverstream to the Upper Hutt basin is flooded wall-to-wall.
1976 - Flooding isolates Petone and leads to further reviews of the flood protection system.
1998 - Two floods within a week of each other cause extensive riverbank damage but no breaches recorded.
2000 - Like 1998, two floods strike within a week of each other - again the system copes well.
2004 - The Waiwhetu Stream floods causing an estimated $200m in damage.
2005 - Water floods 10 Lower Hutt homes and causes severe erosion on golf courses.

On our first wonderful trip to Costa Rica we flew into San Juan, visit the volcanoes, Monteverde and the zips, river/rain forest day, and spent 3 night in wonderful Nosara. Then we flew back to San Juan and home.
We are older but in good shape. Enjoy hikes, long walks on LONG beaches, snorkling, local color. We don't need to be entertained as in a formal resort: not big on nite life. Perfer a nice dinner and back to the beach for sunset. We are thinking Manuel Antonio and then go to Samara? 7 or 8 days most likely. San Juan, Manuel Antonio, Samara, San Juan? We picked Samara because of its reputation for beauty and great beach, enjoyed by the Tico, and we had enjoyed that area last time. Are we taking a sensbile approach?

That's not bad, but I'd recommend trying to get further south, combining a few days in Manuel Antonio with either the Osa (Drake Bay or a lodge outside of Puerto Jimenez), or something along the lines of Playa Zancudo or Ballena National Park.
Report Abuse
Just for the record, it is San Jose. Now your question. How about changing the coast? There is definitively local color in Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo, long beaches to walk, nice restaurants, even some nightlife. On the way there stop for 2 days in Tortuguero.
Report Abuse
Since you enjoy hiking and long walks, I'd take a look at the Osa Peninsula. The wildlife there is amazing. For me, personally I wouldn't want to do two beach locations, but if that's what you prefer then you may love it.

Madame George Is Our Latest Cat Obsession
We certainly don't hide our obsession for cute cats here at R29 (remember this lil' guy?). But, it looks like Grumpy Cat and Lil Bub are going to have to share the Internet spotlight with another fellow feline. Buzzfeed introduced a fabulous new kitty that is definitely going to melt a few hearts. Meet Madame George, a fluffy Persian who was rescued from a shelter in Portland, Oregon by her now-owner Emily Mrusko. Despite all the cute faces, choosing the new member of her family wasn't a hard decision. "It was love at first sight," said Mrusko.
Like other cats who have become a viral sensation, Madame George has a personality and loves the camera. Oh, and she has her own Instagram account, too, which is filled with pics of George doing everything from chilling in a paper bag to sporting fashionable wares to just looking cute as a button. But, does this little fur ball have what it takes to take the title of top cat? Check out these snaps and judge for yourself. (Buzzfeed)

MassDOT Secretary and CEO Richard Davey today joined Gulfstream Aerospace leaders, Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport and local officials to celebrate the ribbon-cutting for the Gulfstream Hangar Expansion Project.
Gulfstream's expansion includes a new 100,000 square foot hangar with office space and will result in 100 new jobs added to Gulfstream's existing airport workforce of 140.
"Massachusetts is leading the nation in economic recovery, thanks to companies like Gulfstream that are expanding right here in the Commonwealth," said Governor Patrick. "Because of our investments in innovation, education and infrastructure, Massachusetts is a great place for business, and I thank Gulfstream for adding these 100 new jobs, and the economic benefits that will follow."
"Aviation is an economic engine across the state, and right here in Westfield it generates more than 2,000 jobs and economic output of $180 million," said Secretary Davey. "Gulfstream's investment combined with MassDOT and other state financial support will further enhance opportunities in this area."
Gulfstream Aerospace manufactures mid-size and large cabin business jet aircraft with Northeast aircraft maintenance repair facilities centered at Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport. The company invested approximately $20 million in the hangar expansion. MassDOT funds totaling $3 million realigned the airport perimeter roadway and provided additional parking, while the Massachusetts Office of Business Development provided $2 million for a new road providing access to Gulfstream and a newly-created industrial park.
"In addition to Gulfstream's commitment to expansion, MassDOT is also pleased to join our partners at the Federal Aviation Administration, the City of Westfield, and the Air National Guard in preserving and enhancing the infrastructure at the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport," said Christopher Willenborg, MassDOT Aeronautics Division Administrator.
Willenborg said upcoming improvements include reconstruction and pavement replacement of a key airport runway later in 2013.

Buri Daikon is simmered Buri (yellowtail or amberjack) and Daikon (radish). It's a traditional and popular Japanese nimono (simmered food) cooked at home.
The recipe vary from home to home, but somehow my recipe become very popular and now I received more than 830 photo reports!
Please try it out!!!
Buri Daikon (Japanese yellowtail or amberjack simmered with daikon)
Difficulty: Medium
Time: 2hrs
Number of servings: 2-3
3 buri (Japanese yellowtail or amberjack) fillets
7 daikon radish cut into 2cm (0.7inch) thick round slices
1 small shoga (ginger root) sliced
kome no togijiru (is a cloudy rice water that you get when you wash rice)
* 300cc dashi broth (using packaged dashi powder saves time)
* 100cc sake
* 50cc mirin (sweet sake)
* 50cc soy sauce
* 2 tbsp. sugar
* 100cc sake
* 2 tbsp. mirin (sweet sake)
* 2 tbsp. soy sauce
* 1 tbsp. sugar
* 1 tbsp. mirin (sweet sake)
thin strips of shoga (ginger root)
mitsuba (trefoil) leaves cut into 3-cm (1-inch-) -long pieces
1. Cut buri into large bite-sized pieces, sprinkle salt on both sides and leave them for about 30 minutes.
2. Pour boiling water over the buri. Then wash off any remaining blood or dirt with running water. This process cleans away odors! When you use "buri no ara" (head and leftover pieces), I recommend you to wash them more neatly.
3. Use a peeler. Peel thick round slices of daikon radish and do mentori (plane off the corners) to prevent it from crumbling during long cooking.
4. Boil daikon radish with kome no togijiru (or water with a tablespoon of rice) for 15 minutes (it makes daikon clear colored and less bitter). Remove excess water with paper towel. This is called shitayude, to boil ingredients to certain firmness before cooking together with other ingredients.
5. Place A and slices of shoga (ginger root) in a pot. Bring to the boil, then add buri and cook for about 15 minutes. When you use "buri no ara", you cook 15 minutes before fillets, total of 30 minutes.
6. Add B and simmer for about 5 minutes until they blend.
7. Add daikon radish, cook on low heat for about 30 minutes till light brown.

Stefan Christmann (website, Facebook, 500px.) will share his story and pictures from traveling in Iceland. Also, check out Stefan's previous article on spending a year in Antarctica.
I am all by myself walking on a moonlike surface, trying not to slip on the moss-covered alien-shaped rocks I am climbing across. The Sun has been trying to set for the past two hours, but now it has changed its direction and starts to rise again. Rain sets in once more and creates a perfect rainbow in front me, stretching across the enormous waterfall I am walking towards - it's at least 50 meters high. In the distance I can hear menacing rumbles of the rough sea and merciless waves are crashing onto the black lava beach, transporting giant ice blocks from nearby glacier onto shore. I have set my camera to manual and dial in my exposure time and aperture. I try to hurry as I am absolutely drenched and cold gusts of wind are giving me chills that run throughout my entire body. However, my discomfort vanishes instantly when I look at the display of my camera. Who cares about being wet and cold? This is the most awesome light I have ever witnessed - thank God I brought enough memory cards.

Loved the artwork!
Now this was an interesting loop.
perfect but not as perfect as it could be when the end comes up to go through another loop you shouldove had the music more smoothly passover at that point.
Heh, right, i found out it's a microscopic flaw that doesn't help the continuity, even considering it's a difference of maybe 2 frames.
thanks for the feedback!
this is wrong on so many different LEVELS! get it?

But at the administration I saw some policemen suffering with serious problems. The professionals are always judged by public opinion, but also need a more caring look at them. Three years ago, I started a campaign to collect adult diapers for a police officer who was shot and became paraplegic. After a lot of mobilization, we got almost a ton of diapers! (...) Education for me is the basis of everything. I have always searched to compementary income so that my children could study in good schools. They know what is the reality. When I take them to a handicapped friend, they see how life could be harder. Thank God I'm fine and, while I´m good, I'll keep doing good to others." – Lieutenant Silva, 52 years old ---- #ODS4: EDUCAÇÃO DE QUALIDADE - 08 dias para as Olimpíadas "Quando você é parte da tropa acaba não reparando, porque você entra em serviço, pega sua arma e vai cumprir sua etapa. Mas, na administração, vi que alguns policiais sofriam com problemas graves. Os profissionais são sempre muito julgados pela opinião pública, mas também precisam de um olhar mais cuidadoso sobre eles. Há três anos, comecei uma campanha para arrecadar fraldas geriátricas para um policial que foi baleado e ficou paraplégico. Após muita mobilização, conseguimos quase uma tonelada de fraldas! (...) Educação para mim é base de tudo. Sempre busquei complementar minha renda para que minhas filhas pudessem estudar em boas escolas. Elas sabem o que é a realidade. Quando as levo à casa de um colega cadeirante, elas vêem o quanto a vida poderia ser mais difícil.

Duke Nukem Forever landing 3 May
After what seems to be an age and a half of waiting, Duke Nukem will finally make a return to the console on 6 May in the UK 2K Games and Gearbox Software has announced.
Although available in the US from the 3 May, UK will have to wait an extra three days to get the "Irreverent, non-PC, and uber macho, Duke Nukem" on their Xbox 360, PS3, Mac or PC.
"May 3, 2011 marks Duke's return as he unleashes his brash and brutally honest wit on the world. His return is going to be epic and one that will make video gaming history!" declared Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K.
According to the company the storyline will see Duke go up against the alien hordes once again with only Duke able to save the world.
"Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it," says 2K Games.
Players looking to get access to the Duke Nukem Forever playable demo before it is publicly released can join the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club.
A membership certificate for the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club is included within the Borderlands Game of the Year edition.

Ashwini could have added value to team: Banga Beats Coach
Bangalore: Banga Beats bought Parupalli Kashyap as their icon player but chief coach U Vimal Kumar feels even Ashwini Ponnappa would have been a good choice as being a local star she could have added value to the Bangalore side in the upcoming Indian Badminton League (IBL).
"It (giving a miss to Ashwini) wasn`t painful, but her inclusion in our team could have added value. Afer all, she is a local player," Vimal said here.
Vimal, a former national coach and currently chief coach at the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy, said since Bangalore had already bought Kashyap as an icon player, the team had to give a miss to Ashwini.
"Norms under the bidding process did not allow us to go for another icon player. Until yesterday I heard Kashyap preferring to play for Hyderabad, but was picked to play for Banga Beats. That`s how it is. We have to learn to live with it," he said.
Ashwini went to Pune Pistons at USD 25,000 after her base price was reduced from USD 50,000 to USD 25,000 following a meeting of all the franchises at the last moment.
Vimal, also a former national champion and 1992 Olympian, was impressed with his franchise owners for their involvement and the homework they had done on some of the international players.
"My colleagues Balachandran and Vijay Lancy did a lot of homework and had strategies for all icon players which made for an exciting auction," he said.
Banga Beats begin their IBL campaign on August 15 against the Lee Chong Wei led Mumbai Masters in the Delhi leg of the event while their only match at home will be on August 25 against Krrish Delhi Smashers.

The proliferation of digital channels opens up new opportunities for businesses that want to deepen relationships with existing clients and attract new customers. Social media platforms and the widespread use of mobile devices provide an affordable way to push out a steady stream of content to always-connected consumers and generate new business. However, many companies that are making the change from print-centric communication to digital content are finding that the transition isn't simple. The processes that are in place for creating, approving, publishing, distributing and tracking print-centric content don't scale when faced with omni-channel digital content.
Theresa Cramer

I've been reserving comment on The Daily - the world's first daily newspaper for tablets, brought to you by Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. - because I am having trouble truly deciding what I think about it. As a technology journalist, the concept fascinates me. The iPad was, after all, said to be the publishing industry's savior. As a reader, though, I wasn't all that interested.
Reviews have accused the app of being sluggish and buggy. An update only made it worse, according to some reports. I don't have an iPad, so I can't really speak to those problems. What interests me is the content, and I haven't heard much about that, probably because no one I know has shared a story from The Daily on Facebook.
I did read one review that said the content was too narrow for a daily paper, and, more problematically, that yesterday's content disappears once you load today's news. The app allows you to save articles to a clipboard for later reading, but if you don't save the article in a timely manner or if you skip an issue, it disappears from your device. Apparently, there is a site called The Daily: Indexed where you can go to find old articles and read them in a browser. But who wants to do that when you're paying for an app?
I'll stick with the free stuff if I want to read it in a browser, thank you very much.
Content from The Daily is shareable on all the major social networks, which also means it's available for free by clicking on those shared links. That, of course, makes me wonder why I would ever opt to pay for it.Something that keeps popping up in reviews that I've read is The Daily's reliance on the old print paradigm. Despite the HD videos and what is, by all accounts, stunning photography, the paper still seems to lag behind the times - unable to keep up with most current events coming out of the Cairo riots in its first weeks on the market-and it even features horoscopes. Horoscopes! You don't get much more retro than that.
The Daily also seems to ignore the reality of how we get our news today, which is to say that most of us check in with dozens of different sources over the course of the day. We have the sources we check in with regularly and the stories that come to us serendipitously through our social networks.
For instance, I listen to NPR, while I check the local daily paper's site or look through my Facebook newsfeed to see what my friends have suggested. I am a "fan" of Slate (www.slate.com), which promotes its stories in my newsfeed as well. When I go home at night, I watch the local news broadcast - which, as I write this column, is mostly about roof collapses and streets so narrowed by piles of snow that emergency vehicles can't drive down them. In other words, I have a lot of news sources, and I'm only loyal to two or three of them.
Apps such as Flipboard for iPad take these news gathering habits into account. Flipboard connects to your social networks and creates a "social magazine" out of the content that your friends are sharing, and it also allows you to pick web content to include as well. So, if your friend shared an article from The Daily on Twitter, theoretically, it would pop up in your Flipboard app along with all (or most) of the other content that you're interested in. This seems to me like an app experience that is far more in touch with tablet users. Why have a dozen apps for all your content sources when you can just have one?
A daily newspaper for the iPad was probably inevitable. The novelty factor alone is sure to propel it to initial success, but I wonder if The Daily is what tablet users really want or need. Will the hype eventually die down, leaving users to realize they have paid for content that they can get for free on the web without the trouble of a sluggish, buggy app? Will the bad user experience send readers screaming back to the apps (and websites) of their old media stalwarts, or will The Daily find a way to provide a tablet-ready experience that truly mirrors the way that tech-savvy users read today?
