There is a new Erlang book coming out soon, Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World by Joe Armstrong, which is very good and a great improvement over the old book. Apart from a very understandable description of the language it all also describes some of the more generally useful libraries, and gives real-world examples of how to use them. As I already know the language it is the second part of the book which I find most helpful.
In all the book is well worth reading.

Republicans, Libertarians should see election as stepping stone
/ The Daily Orange
If you told me a year ago I would vote for a third-party candidate, I would have said there was no chance of that happening. But here we are: the two-party system has produced the worst possible outcome and the Republican Party is in shambles.
The truth is, Republicans should have nominated Rand Paul while we had the chance. We should have nominated Jeb Bush once Paul dropped out. We should have nominated John Kasich when there were only three choices left.
But as a party, we made the biggest mistake that we could have and allowed a massive threat to democracy to exist. Even though we had every chance to stop him, Donald Trump prevailed. Now that it is undeniably clear what kind of person he is, I cannot understand why any Republican would want to vote for him.
Amid all the chaos, there is still a glimmer of hope. With accepting social policies and a rational plan for the economy, Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson is the only moral choice in this election cycle.
Johnson isn't a perfect candidate, but he has a progressive social platform and a reasonable perspective on the economy. Johnson stands for individual liberties including LGBTQ rights, eliminating gender discrimination, championing reproductive rights and other progressive ideas.
Unlike other candidates, he realizes the growing national debt can't simply be ignored. His goals to minimize federal government can be seen as radical, but ultimately, he's for free markets that would allow small businesses to thrive instead of being pummeled by crippling taxes.
I realize there is not a chance for Johnson to win this election, but the victory would be him receiving 5 percent of the vote to gain federal funding for the Libertarian Party. This would change the way we view our system and make it possible for a minority party to have a serious chance in 2020.
Even though Johnson won't become the next president of the United States, I cannot vote for Trump with a clear conscience. I also cannot vote for a criminal. Neither have sustainable plans for the future and neither would represent the country with integrity.
Never before have American citizens been faced with such pathetic choices for the Oval Office. Republican nominee Trump has proven himself to be a misogynistic, racist, xenophobic and naive candidate. On the other side of the aisle, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has shown she only cares about power and will say whatever she needs to in order to get elected. She also has demonstrated a severe lack of caution when it comes to national security.
Be that as it may, as a member of the Libertarian Party, Johnson's beliefs are those that both Democrats and Republicans can get behind, which means he and other Libertarians can bridge the gap between the two main parties.
Voting for Johnson is an investment for the future. The next four years will be rough, regardless of who wins, but we can dismantle the two-party system that has clearly failed us.

One upstart nonprofit is giving hope to "end stage" patients by providing assistance to defray the costs associated with the patient's participation in FDA clinical trails.
"Unfortunately, most trials aren't in someone's backyard. So we fly them or we pay for their apartment or their gas or whatever it is they need."
To fatten their checkbook and help more people, the Lazarex Cancer Foundation, founded in 2006 by Dana Dornsife after her brother-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, throws major events almost monthly, like the marathon yesterday in Oakland.
"We help patients take advantage of medical breakthroughs today, because they may not have a tomorrow." (image, right, Lazarex Cancer Foundation logo)

Never worn tank top from Diesel just in time for Spring & Summer! This top has very interesting design features with a V-neck, shoulder straps, a halter strap and the back has a 6" slit at the bottom which connects the cinch waist ties. The material feels like silk but it is 100% viscose so you do not have to dry clean it, which is nice. It measures 24" from the top of the shoulder strap to the bottom hem. It is marked as a Medium, but I think it runs slightly small and would be comparable to a size 6.

There are a lot of ways to come out to people as something other than totally straight, but most of them fall under two categories: Person by person, where the ritual of admission is repeated as much as it needs to be, or all at once.
The latter -- the big reveal -- can be a dramatic gesture both large or small, whether it's Anderson Cooper sending an email to a famous blogger, or Jodie Foster coming out (well, sort of) in front of a massive TV audience. And even though big comings-out can carry social and political heft, there's still a single confessor at their center. "Harvey Milk always said that this was how the revolution would happen: one lonely kid at a time," Alex Ross remarked in a recent feature for the New Yorker.
This time, in Parsippany, N.J., the lonely kid was 18-year-old Jacob Rudolph, who was voted Class Actor by his classmates at Parsippany High School, and who, in a story that's becoming more and more familiar to the public, was holding a secret he wouldn't keep close anymore.
"Sure, I've been in a few plays and musicals, but more importantly, I've been acting every single day of my life," Rudolph said in accepting his honorific at a speech Jan. 18.; the audience of students chattered happily and had to shush itself to hear. "You see, I've been acting as someone I'm not. Most of you see me every day. You see me acting the part of 'straight' Jacob, when I am in fact LGBT -- lesbian gay bisexual transgender."

This was all in my head just now and needed to get out.
I just got the shit beat out of me tonight on the phone bank, and the thing is, I can't fault these people for it because I, too, cannot stand the political calls this time of year. But I do it because I said I would and I am nothing if I am not Integrity Girl, and so "smile-and-dial" I did, and people were mean and called me names and hung up on me and yelled at me and one guy took his phone and beat it on the counter a couple of times (wow, I've done that, but you know, I always made sure the caller had already hung up), and AGAIN, I am not blaming them, but I ask you - if you don't recognize the number, and it's 6 days from Election Day, why not just DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE? And furthermore, for all of you who were in bed sleeping because you get up early, why (again) answer the phone if you are trying to sleep? I don't. It's probably going to be some political call.
Like I said, I don't fault them for being pissed off at me, but it still sucked. I'm tired, and I have to watch ANTM on DVR tomorrow night instead, and dodge everyone at work tomorrow who wants to tell me who got booted, and I am hungry but it's 9:30, and I have to get up at 5am.
So there. Poor me. Blah.

A superb account of one deeply divisive battle in the decades-long civil-rights struggle, recounted by the Pulitzer Prize–winning editorialist who covered it on the front lines.
San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk, murdered in office in 1978, once "urged gays and lesbians across America to stand up openly, with dignity and pride," writes Moats, editorial-page editor of the Rutland (Vt.) Herald. "They would provoke bigotry, of course, but in doing so they would expose bigotry to the light, touching the conscience of their neighbors in a surprising and gratifying way." So it was when Vermonters responded to a State Supreme Court ruling that state laws excluding gay and lesbian citizens from marriage were unconstitutional: some Vermonters welcomed the decision, others viewed it as an abomination. "The issue of gay marriage was about more than marriage," Moats observes. "It was about how far a secular democracy would expand its arena of freedom." Opponents of gay marriage on religious grounds insisted that marriage was in fact the only issue, protesting that while they had nothing personal against gays, the Bible said otherwise; such types, including protestors from outside the state, soon became familiar figures at rallies throughout the state, besieging legislators with demands to craft laws that would withstand judicial tinkering. Yet, in time, those opponents found that would-be allies were more tolerant than they; one crusty, flinty Republican, former governor and US Senator Robert Stafford, held a press conference to announce, "I believe that love is one of the great forces in our society and in the state of Vermont. . . . And even if a same-sex couple unites with true love, what is the harm in that. What is the harm?" Eventually, Moats writes, Vermont legislators offered a watered-down compromise authorizing civil union, but not marriage as such, and thus far that compromise has held. But perhaps not for much longer, Moats closes by observing: the Court of Appeal in nearby Ontario ruled in 2003 against restrictions on same-sex marriage, which may inspire a renewal of the struggle in Vermont and elsewhere in the US.

April 14th
State Capitol Rallies for Gun Rights
Many patriots in the gun rights community are planning rallies at state capitols across America in light of recent attacks on the Second Amendment.
Please consider attending one of these rallies on April 14th. Many of these rallies are located at your state capitol, but times vary. For more information about the rally in your state, click here.
We hope that gun owners will help make a strong showing this weekend, and as always, demonstrate lawful and peaceful support of the Second Amendment at their state capitols.
GOA on the Frontlines, Fighting for 2A Rights!
We want to thank all of our activists for taking action over the past several weeks.

Hmmm…what's that smell?

During our home inspections, we see a number of minor issues that are very common. These are categorized as "Marginal" items in our reports. This is stuff that is not a safety issue or serious deficiency, rather they are smaller maintenance items, that left uncared for, will eventually contribute to deterioration of the home's condition.
Can you feel it?
The birds are chirping, the sun shines longer providing warmth and there is more puddles of water compared to the ever so disappearing surrounding snow.With the significant March 20th date past us or as many of you know as the first day of spring, people are generally happier.
You've heard it before perhaps from a friend, a co-worker, a cousin maybe your next door neighbor. Home inspections are … fill in the blank.

Von Miller says thumb is "85 percent" healthy
Broncos linebacker Von Miller had to play the final six games of last season with a heavy brace protecting his injured right thumb.
Today, he proudly showed a large crowd of Denver reporters just how much he could move the thumb without pain.
"Its about 85 percent right now," Miller said. "I'm 100 percent positive that when the season starts I won't have any problems out of it."
Miller had surgery to remove the pins from his thumb on Jan. 16, two days after the Broncos' playoff loss to New England. Miller said he'd be able to play without a brace today if he had to.
Last December, Miller refused to blame the thumb injury on his late-season decline, when he had only two sacks in the six games following his surgery. Monday, Miller admitted the cast did present a challenge.
"It was already hard enough playing football with two hands, so playing football with one and a half hands, it was pretty tough," Miller said. "I had a great season last year with the cast on."

So many international passengers missed their connecting flights at Miami International Airport last weekend that about 200 of them had to bed down at the airport's auditorium, for one night turned into a makeshift hotel.
Blame federal budget cuts known as the sequester, which have limited overtime pay for U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.
The result: fewer officers at passport checkpoints, leading to waits more than four hours long last Saturday, the worst day of delays since the sequester began March 1. MIA is the nation's busiest airport for international flights.
"I'd use the word brutal," Airport Director José Abreu said of the delays.

The county-owned airport had already been experiencing a shortage of customs officers before the beginning of the sequester, which cut 2 percent of the $3.8 trillion federal budget. Visiting MIA last month, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned passenger lines could get even longer. They did.
"Customs officers who would normally come in a little earlier or stay a little later with overtime pay — that's gone now," said Greg Chin, an airport spokesman.
A survey of 1,200 overseas travelers released Tuesday by the Consensus Research Group for the U.S. Travel Association found that 43 percent of respondents would recommend avoiding traveling through the U.S. because of the customs process. That negative word of mouth could cost the economy billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs, the travel association estimated.
MIA has issued an advisory on its website warning about longer-than-usual wait times for passengers arriving from international destinations. In the past few weeks, staffers have handed out some 15,000 water bottles to travelers waiting in line or forced to spend the night at the airport, Chin said.
Delays have been particularly heavy from Fridays to Mondays, when traffic at the airport increases by about 10,000 passengers — in part because that's when many cruises depart and arrive, Chin said. Add Spring Break, the Ultra Music Festival and the Sony Open tennis tournament, and matters only get worse.
"This is probably one of the worst times for this to happen," Chin said.
On Saturday at the North Terminal checkpoint where customs officers process 70 to 75 percent of international arrivals, passenger waits averaged 30 minutes to an hour longer than before the sequester, according to the airport.
Between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., it took most passengers an hour just to get into the passport-control facility — and another three hours to clear the checkpoint. During that two-hour period, about two-thirds to three-quarters of the facility's 72 booths were staffed, airport numbers show. The delays also increase when flights arrive closely behind each other.
More than 800 American Airlines passengers missed their connections Saturday, Chin said. The airline accounts for about 75 percent of arrivals, so it is likely that some 1,000 travelers were unable to complete their trips. Airport staffers brought in cots and blankets to accommodate 200 passengers in the auditorium overnight.
"We are working to minimize the impact on our customers and are rebooking passengers who misconnect on the next available flights," said Dori Alvarez, an American Airlines spokeswoman.
Delays were only slightly better two Saturdays ago, on March 2, the second-worst day for passenger waits since the sequester began. That day, lines averaged 20 to 30 minutes longer than usual, with two to four hour waits between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., when only about a quarter of the passport-control booths were staffed.
The new $180 million facility has been understaffed since it opened in July. Gov. Rick Scott and South Florida members of Congress have urged Homeland Security to send more customs officers. Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has offered to pick up the tab for their overtime pay, but that would require congressional action allowing local governments to underwrite federal costs.
Abreu and Chin said the sequester has not affected passengers checking in for departing flights so far. But that could soon change: The Transportation Security Administration may begin furloughing MIA agents next month.
"That could affect things," Chin said.

Romeo & Juliet were essentially kids when they fell in lust and then decided to do themselves. Generations of people read their story care of their local soap opera writer, W Shakespeare, and wept copiously.
Elderly couple used a 'shameful' suicide manual to kill themselves because they couldn't bear to be apart
A devoted couple who could not bear to live without each other used a suicide instruction book to help them take their own lives.
James Bedell, 81, and his wife Hilda, 76, drank whisky and tied plastic bags around their heads after reading Final Exit, an inquest heard.
Coroner Donald Coverdale last night said it was "a shameful book".
Pact: Mr and Mrs Bedell had planned their death
The Bedells had in the past spoken openly to friends and family about "ending it together" as they feared becoming very ill or disabled.
The loving couple suffocated as they lay in bed listening to music.
They had spent years planning their final act in detail and had even made a living will with the help of their son in case they were found while still alive.
The pensioners, known as Ted and Nan, left notes for family, friends and neighbours to find at the home they had lived in for 21 years in Strensall, near York.
Next to the letters on the kitchen table was a book, hidden behind the outside cover of an "innocuous novel", which gave the reader guidance on how to commit suicide.
Final Exit, by retired British journalist Derek Humphry, was meant to help the terminally ill die.
Controversial: Final Exit was meant to help the terminally ill die
Recording suicide verdicts, York coroner Mr Coverdale said: "People in pain and distress need comfort and support, not encouragement to destroy their lives. I condemn those who encourage suicide.
"James and Hilda Bedell had taken steps to minimise the upset to their family and friends. But the event will have caused the greatest distress to those who knew them."
Final Exit shot to the top of the hardback advice category on the New York Times bestsellers list when it came out in 1991.
The book is in its third edition and has been translated into 12 languages. It is banned in France.
Mr Bedell, an RAF war veteran and retired milkman, had been taking medication for anxiety and was receiving treatment for a tremor, which he feared was caused by Parkinson's disease but was more probably due to a benign tumour.
Former teacher Mrs Bedell was prescribed morphine shortly before her death for worsening pain from arthritis and osteoporosis.
Their bodies were discovered by neighbour Janet Wardell on October 23, 2006.
She found a note with her name on in the kitchen and discovered the couple dead in their bedroom with music still playing.
"I was aware of what they had done. They had long said they would commit suicide," she said.
In a statement, their son, Andrew, said: "Years ago they had made it clear they didn't want to lose their quality of life and end up in a hospital or a home. But I spoke to them around October 15 and they made no mention of when or how."
Mr Humphry, 77, wrote a book about the death of his wife Jean, who had terminal cancer but died in 1975 from a deliberate overdose of medication he had bought for her.
In Final Exit, Mr Humphry says: "Self-destruction of a physically fit person is always a tragic waste of life and hurtful to survivors, but life is a personal responsibility. We must each decide for ourselves."
•In his introduction to Final Exit, Derek Humphry explains that a "good death" comes down to the "amount of planning, attention to detail and quality of assistance".
He says it has been used by people it was not aimed at, such as the depressed or mentally ill, admitting: "This I regret, but can do nothing about."
Referring to assisted suicide, he adds: "If your assistance in helping to ease the suffering of a person who could bear no more was a loving act, and justifiable in human terms, then your conscience is clear."
At first no publisher would touch the book so Mr Humphry brought it out himself and netted nearly $1million in profits for the Hemlock Society, a U.S. group that advises the terminally ill on assisted dying and how to have a "dignified death".
The 3rd edition is published by Norris Lane Press. The book, which is also available as a DVD, can be bought for £5.
May they rest in peace and in each other's arms.

Hippies formed a dominant culture during the middle of the 1960's, so their costumes are absolutely perfect for anybody that was part of the baby boomer era! When it comes to hippie costumes, there are a ton of ideas that you can work with; everything ranging from do-it-yourself to store bought costumes are available. However, some of those costumes are simply "not worth it" in terms of the money and time spent purchasing/creating them.
This article is geared towards exposing the absolute best hippie costume ideas. Although I have recommended them for people from the baby boomer era, pretty much anyone can wear these 1960's costumes!

How To Dress Up Like A Hippie From The 60's
One of the best ways to create a costume is to simply dress up like a typical person from that culture or era; in this case, you should be trying to mimic someone from the 1960's! The decade was all about peace and love, so the best ideas for hippie costumes include some of the ideas that you will find in the next few paragraphs!
Hippies weren't about wearing clothes that were tailored and by brand names, but they had a "wear anything" type of attitude. If I had to choose two clothing styles of the 1960's they would definitely be bellbottom jeans, and tie dye t shirts!
These types of clothing gave off the relaxed look and feel that many hippies desired, so the best costume ideas will incorporate them in one way or another! Take a look at the hippie costume accessories on Amazon and you'll definitely find a wide variety of afros, headbands, pink sunglasses, and frilled vests!
A Flower Child Is The Perfect Hippie Costume For Women
When it came to women dressing up in the 60's, the flower child look was the way to go. With that being said, a flower child costume is the best idea for women to execute when trying to dress up like a hippie!
In order to look like a flower child, you should put on a white peasant top, and a pair of embroidered blue jeans. A long skirt that is made from patches of material can also be substituted for the blue jeans depending on whether it is warm or cold outside!
You can choose to create a do-it-yourself hippie costume of this sort by combining some of the clothes that you have in your closet with the sewing skills that you may have, or you can head to Amazon to look at their hippie costumes for women if you are looking for a store-bought one!
Dress Up In 60's Mod Costumes
In addition to the flower girl look, many men and women chose to dress up in the "mod" look during the hippie era! The Mod look involved brighter clothing that stood out more, rather than the neutral tones that were involved in the flower child look!
Mod hippie costumes are suited for people that have dominant and loud personalities. These types of hippie costume ideas attract a lot of attention, so they are perfect for people that love the attention. These Mod hippies were also the rebels of that decade, so these are the perfect costumes for rebels that want to dress up for Halloween.
A fantastic mod hippie costume idea includes a short skirt with a vibrant pattern on it, knee-high boots, and a very wide belt! All of the best mod costumes include bright colors, promiscuous clothes, and funky patterns!

(price as of Aug 16, 2013)
The Best Hippie Costume For Men
Most men dressed the same during the 1960's, so it is relatively easy to explain this hippie costume idea! Head to your local costume store to buy a wig that has very long hair on it (or grow your own out if you have enough time), and wear a bandana with a funky pattern around your head.
Throw on a pair of casual jeans, a white top, and a brown vest with frills on it, and you will look like a man that has come right out of a magazine cover from the 1960's. I would highly recommend this outfit, out of all of the men's hippie costume ideas, simply because it best represents the way that males styled their hair and wore their clothing during the 1960's!
There are hundreds of different ways to wear these hippie costumes, especially when it comes to the do-it-yourself versions. You can literally use any combination of the hippie accessories that I have listed above and it will simply look amazing!
Use any of these ides when you are creating hippie costumes, and you will definitely attract the attention of everyone around you! For an even better effect, be sure to talk like a person from the 1960's!

In this case, an SIUC faculty member was mobbed by the university administration with the help of some of her departmental colleagues because they disliked her opinions, which were expressed through grievances, guest columns and letters to the editor, speeches, union activism, and by joining in a suit with other faculty members against the board of trustees to protest the firing of a popular chancellor. As a result, her office was moved out of the department and her mail was stolen. Frequent whispering campaigns were held in the hallways by colleagues who quickly scattered behind slammed doors when she was sighted. She was unjustly blamed for negative tenure votes and missing department materials. The nameplate on her door was vandalized and she learned that she was referred to as "the little twerp" by some.
The university administration then hired a licensed psychologist who, the faculty member was told, would conduct counseling and conflict resolution for her deeply divided department, but who instead wrote a report for the administration indicating that the faculty member was destructive and in need of discipline and professional help. The administration disseminated the psychologist's report to over 20 people on the campus.
In this case, the psychologist made an unsubstantiated assessment of the faculty member based solely on what the faculty member's "enemies" had said about her. The psychologist made no effort to verify any of the rumors she had heard and instead wrote them as fact in her reports and made recommendations based on them. As part of the counseling and conflict resolution process, the psychologist also carried on e-mail communication with the faculty member but forwarded this communication to the university's administration without the faculty member's knowledge or permission. The psychologist never told the faculty member that there would be any limits to confidentiality nor did she tell her what process she would be following or that she would be writing reports to the administration. Obviously, if there had been any legitimacy to the psychologist's conclusions and report, the matter would have been handled privately and compassionately by the university's human resources staff.
After complaining about the psychologist, the faculty member was horrified to discover one day that someone was following her car and later saw correspondence between the administration and the psychologist's lawyer-husband suggesting that private investigators be used to seek a way to fire her. Indeed, notes associated with a meeting among university administrators and its chief counsel show that a detailed plan for her termination seemed to be in place.
The faculty member sued the provost, department chair, and psychologist in federal court for conspiring to chill her first amendment rights. She also sued the psychologist for malpractice and filed complaints against the psychologist with the American Psychological Association (APA). The three defendants in the federal lawsuit received legal defense services by the university. The federal lawsuit was settled out of court, with the faculty member receiving a public apology from the university, a year off with pay, and substantial monetary compensation. The malpractice lawsuit against the psychologist is still being prosecuted after five years. The psychologist's position in the claims against her is that consulting psychologists function as management consultants and do not have to follow the APA code of Ethics. Despite having a current state license to practice psychology, serving as head of a university's counseling center at the time, and holding offices in the American Psychological Association, this psychologist essentially didn't consider herself to be a psychologist and seemed to believe that only therapists need to follow ethical codes.
One of the most troubling aspects of this case is the scandalous lack of action by the APA. When the faculty member first filed a complaint with the APA Ethics Office, the Ethics Office opened an investigation and then dismissed it for lack of sufficient evidence. The faculty member then deposed the psychologist and sent the deposition testimony to the most renowned psychologist ethics expert in the U.S. who found numerous serious ethics violations by the psychologist. The faculty member sent the deposition transcript and the expert's report back to the APA and requested that the case be re-opened. This time the evidence was solid. Although the APA technically re-opened the case, it stayed the investigation when the psychologist was elected President of the Consulting Psychology Division of the APA. The APA claimed it was staying the investigation because there was pending litigation; however, it did not stay the investigation the first time, with pending litigation, when there was less evidence available and when the psychologist did not hold a high office. It has been 5 years since the faculty member first filed a complaint with the APA, and to this day, no known disciplinary action has been taken.

(Asian Games) Half-Korean player on S. Korean basketball team realizing dream at Asiad
By Yoo Jee-ho
GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 12 (Yonhap) -- Lee Seung-jun slapped high fives with his teammates after sinking a jump shot during a shootaround as South Korean men's national basketball team practiced Thursday before the Asian Games here in southern China. He playfully tried to block a teammate's layup and jumpers. When everyone else put up a layup on a fast break drill, he slammed it down, just for the heck of it. He even dribbled between his legs on the way to the free throw line.
As his tough-love head coach yelled directions during an intrasquad game, Lee, the 204-centimeter forward, managed to dribble the ball behind his back as he tried to find an open teammate -- and didn't look out of place doing so.
With his long locks flying and the tattooed image of two tigers roaring on his left arm and across his chest, Lee is the epitome of fun on a squad full of quiet and unassuming veterans, led by no-nonsense head coach Yoo Jae-hak.
But don't let Lee's seemingly devil-may-care approach fool you, because representing South Korea carries an extra meaning for him.
Lee, who plays for the Samsung Thunders in the Korean Basketball League (KBL), was born Eric Sandrin to a Korean mother and an American father. He obtained his Korean citizenship in 2009, three years after his younger brother, Lee Dong-jun, also a pro basketball player. This is Seung-jun's first international tournament for the land of his mother's birth.
"My brother always told me how much fun he had, how proud he was to be a part of (the national team)," Lee Seung-jun said. "Now that I am with the team, it's a dream come true. I'm really, really happy."
When asked what it would mean for him to win the gold for South Korea, the usually effervescent Lee turned almost speechless.
"It'd be amazing," Lee said, shaking his head in incredulity at the mere mention of the word "gold medal." "I couldn't be happier."
Lee Seung-jun first joined the KBL in 2007 as Eric Sandrin. He was then registered as a foreign player on Mobis Phoebus. KBL clubs are permitted two foreign players each, and they rely heavily on imported stars, who typically have superior skills to locals, for scoring and rebounding. But an ankle injury limited Lee's explosiveness and he wasn't retained after the season.
Then, under a new league rule, KBL teams could draft half-Korean players starting in 2009 and register them as Korean. Being able to join the KBL as one of the locals opened a new window of opportunity for Lee, who was selected by the Thunders. His younger brother, Dong-jun, also plays in the KBL. Formerly Daniel Sandrin, the younger Lee obtained his Korean citizenship in 2006 to join the Daegu Orions in the KBL the following year.
Dong-jun had an opportunity to represent South Korea in international competitions before Seung-jun. The older brother had been regarded as the more talented of the two, but the younger Lee had worked his way up with a versatile game of his own.
This summer, it was Seung-jun's turn as he beat former NCAA guard Jeon Tae-pung (born Tony Akins) for the sole spot on the team for a naturalized Korean player.
Under regulations of FIBA, the international governing body of basketball, teams are allowed only one player who became naturalized after the age of 16. That is to prevent countries from stockpiling U.S.-born players who are fast-tracked to gain citizenship.
Dong-jun also lost to Seung-jun in the battle for the national team spot. But the Lee brothers share a close bond -- close enough that the older Lee said the two tigers in his tattoo symbolize himself and his brother.
In the image, both tigers are climbing a mountain, which Lee explained is a symbol of success.
"My brother and I are both trying to grab success," Lee said of the tattoo, which he got last year.
Lee has enjoyed success as a solid offensive threat on his KBL club, averaging 15.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while making almost 60 percent of his field goals last season. But on a national team with 11 other all-star-caliber players, he knows he has a different role to play.
"I think my role is guarding the bigger guys, because we're playing a lot of teams with really tall people. Get rebounds, play defense, and then score when I have my opportunity," he said. "And play as hard as I can."
With the national team's 221-centimeter center Ha Seung-jin fighting nagging injuries, Lee's hard-nosed work in the low-post will become even more crucial.
But working hard on his game hasn't kept Lee from having a little fun.
"I just try to keep the guys relaxed because I think sometimes in Korea, we take things too seriously," he said. "We have to remember that this is still a game."
Perhaps in South Korea's conservative world of professional sports, where players are often asked to maintain a clean-cut image, having long hair and big tattoos could label an athlete a rebel.
But Lee is one with a cause.
"I think we have a really great opportunity to win the gold medal and bring some interest back to basketball in Korea," Lee said after South Korea held its first practice Thursday ahead of the Asian Games here. "Maybe 10 years ago, basketball was really, really popular, but now basketball has kind of faded away. Now it's baseball and soccer and other sports."
Basketball plays second fiddle, at best, to baseball in South Korea but it's not Lee's fault. He plays just the kind of explosive and exciting basketball that fills the house.
In China, though, the ultimate goal for Lee is to win one for his adopted home.
"Our team's been focused since we got together. Now that the tournament has arrived, I think our focus is really sharp," Lee said. "I think we've got good chemistry together and have good feelings, good teamwork. We came here to win the gold medal."

My dad came and picked me and the boys up and we met my brother at Red Lobster for some yummy seafood. I was still on my cleanse, so I just got a salad and soup. It was delish.
After lunch we went to the Georgetown Wooden park so the boys could burn some energy and we could fellowship together. I really enjoyed our topic on this day. I know my dad loves me! After our great conversation, my brother wanted to try an Acro Yoga move on me.
And we finished our special day at Sonic. =)

DirecTV (Nasdaq: DTV) will soon begin marketing Genie, a high-definition DVR that can automatically record TV shows based on a subscriber's viewing habits, VP of Public Relations Darris Gringeri told FierceCable Wednesday.
Genie is the new brand for DirecTV's Home Media Center, which runs on the HR34 servers and C31-700 RVU client devices manufactured by Pace (LSE: PIC). The DVR contains five tuners and 1 terabyte of storage space. Gringeri said DirecTV plans to launch the Genie product on Oct. 11.
DirecTV online retailer Solid Signal posted a review of the Genie functionality offered in the new DVR on YouTube last month. Once a subscriber activates the "Genie recommends" feature, it will automatically record programs that it expects a subscriber will be interested in viewing. If a subscriber watches one of the programs recorded by Genie, he'll be prompted at the end of the show to choose whether or not to record the series on a regular basis. It's similar to the "TiVo Suggestions" feature that TiVo (Nasdaq: TIVO) offers its DVR customers.
Genie could help DirecTV compete with the new Hopper multiroom DVR and Joey client receivers that rival Dish Network (Nasdaq: DISH) began marketing earlier this year. Hopper offers a feature called Primetime Anytime, which uses one of the six Hopper tuners to record every primetime program on the Big Four broadcast networks. Fox, CBS, NBC and other broadcasters are waging a federal copyright infringement lawsuit against Dish aimed at forcing it to drop the AutoHop function available on the DVR, which subscribers can use to automatically remove all of the commercials in Primetime Anytime programs.
The biggest difference between Genie and Dish's Primetime Anytime is that Genie records programs that it expects subscribers will be interested in, while Dish records every primetime show on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, even if a subscriber doesn't watch network TV series. And while Dish's AutoHop can remove all commercials from TV shows, DirecTV subscribers watching programs recorded by Genie have to hit the fast-forward button on their remote controls if they want to skip the commercials.
DirecTV subscribers who buy connected TVs from Samsung may also be able to access Genie programming without using a set-top. The companies, which are both members of the RVU Alliance, announced in January that they would team up to offer a product that relies on Remote User Interface (RUI) technology. Samsung said it will embed RVU protocol in its entire line of smart TVs. Verizon (NYSE: VZ) is also a member of the RVU Alliance. The telco has said it plans to deploy an energy efficient home video gateway from Motorola Mobility that will be able to shuttle video to multiple thin client set-tops and other IP-connected devices in FiOS TV subscriber homes.
DirecTV's home media center was a finalist last month at IBC's Innovation Awards in Amsterdam. In addition to Pace, the company teamed up with technology vendors Broadcom, Entropic Communications, Jethead Development and Samsung on the product.
The Genie launch is a big win for Pace, which is battling Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO), Motorola Mobility, Samsung, Huawei, Technicolor and other set-top vendors. Pace is also supplying Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA) with the gateway that the MSO is using for the rollout of its Xfinity X1 next generation digital video service, which offers subscribers a cloud-based interactive program guide.

A friend had been going to Life Clubs for some time and recommended it to me. Part of my job involves helping people develop themselves and reach their goals, so I have a keen interest in personal development.
I instantly 'clicked' with Life Clubs. There's not a single workshop I've attended that I haven't enjoyed or gotten something out of and our host has been really supportive, every step of the way.
I had been studying sugarcraft in my spare time for over a year before joining Life Clubs and often made cakes for friends and family.
Shortly after joining Life Clubs, more and more opportunities started to come my way as my reputation grew. Life Clubs helped me to realise that I could make my hobby into a successful business. I even identified that I had everything I needed to do this, including an extensive collection of vintage aprons and crockery!
I am now running a successful business Candy Handfuls Boutique Bakery and I have joined the British Sugarcraft Guild.
I am busier than I have ever been, working full time and running a business isn't easy, but Life Clubs has given me the tools to plan my time effectively and I love every single second of running my business and watching it grow. I have an unshakeable faith in my abilities.

Does Libya Success Vindicate Obama's Leadership or Clinton's?
The other day I tweeted:
"Love Traister's writing http://t.co/GPYXI1X but it misses key #leadership lesson: executive responsibility C gets, O doesn't."
I was immediately flooded with retweets and comments both there and on my Facebook page. Some disagreed but most concurred–strongly. As I see a preponderance of the comments on the Times post do.
Have you read this article? What are your thoughts?
In case you didn't see it yet, the article referenced is a New York Times Magazine piece speculating "What Would Hillary Clinton Have Done?" by one of my favorite feminist writers, Rebecca Traister. The intent of the article was to suggest people stop speculating, whereupon she speculates that there would have been little difference because the two candidates were both center-right in political philosophy.
I have to disagree strongly with my friend Traister this time. Full disclosure: she interviewed me and quoted me extensively in her book Big Girls Don't Cry, which analyzes Clinton's run for the presidency and chronicles Traister's own slow shift from supporting Obama to Clinton as she considered the gender, racial, and socio-political implications of her voting choices.
So when I received the Politico Arena question, the answer came easily. Their query was: Is President Obama vindicated on Libya?
The answer to the question, it seems to me, is rooted in the same missing piece of analysis as that in Traister's article. Executive leadership requires setting an agenda, having a strongly articulated point of view and teaching/arguing/inspiring/politicking/leading the people and then the Congress to it…Read More
Video: Women, Power, Media, Politics Panel Leaves Questions Unanswered
Yesterday the New York Times reported that women constitute a mere 13% of Wikipedia editors. This is a completely self-selected effort. No closed doors, no glass ceilings.
What's the problem? There are no excuses, though many reasons remain for this disparity–not unlike the behaviors of women in politics (or not), in business, and women in top media positions.
I had the opportunity to moderate (if one can call it that) a panel of fabulous women at the 92Y Sunday 1/23. It was icy outside but The Nation columnist Katha Pollitt, Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY 18), and Rebecca Traister, author of the Big Girls Don't Cry, warmed things up quickly inside.Read More
Women, Power & Politics at 92nd Street Y
On January 23, 2011, I moderated a panel discussion about "Women, Power and Politics" at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. The panelists included Katha Pollitt, Nita Lowey and Rebecca Traister.
For more audience reactions to the event, check out these stories from Huffington Post, Jezebel, and Feministing.Read More
How Can Women Reach Political Parity in a Chaotic Time?
You know I believe chaos is opportunity. But are women carpe-ing the chaos? With all those groups helping women run for office, why aren't we moving the dial toward political parity faster? At the rate we're going, it'll take us 70 years to get there. And even if we do, will it be a plus or a cruel joke if, say, Michelle Bachmann becomes the first woman president? Isn't it time for progressive women to come out of the closet and acknowledge that a women's agenda is more important than her gender?
I'm excited to have a chance to ask questions like these about women, power, media, and politics of three of the most politically savvy women I know at the 92Y in New York this coming Sunday night 1/23, at 7:30 pm. You are most cordially invited.Read More

Cambodia: Trauma, Justice, Governance
Cambodia's post-genocide journey creates new opportunities and risks in national systems such as health, justice, and tech governance. It also reveals remarkable stories of human courage over time.
The balance of power between strong states was for decades the dominant issue in discussions of international security. But today, it is fragile states that are seen by many as posing potentially greater threats. Weak infrastructures, internal conflict, and lack of economic development provide fertile ground for trafficking, piracy, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, disease pandemics, regional tensions, and even genocide.
As a result, there is a growing movement in the international community to find comprehensive ways to promote stronger states, as well as more effective solutions to deal with those that are already on the brink of failure.
In Fragile States, you'll find reporting from around the world—from East Timor to Haiti, from Guinea Bissau to Afghanistan. The reporting demonstrates the dangers weak states pose—and also the international interventions that appear to be making a difference.
Fragile States was produced by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting in partnership with The Bureau for International Reporting. Support provided by the Stanley Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Hybrid tablets/notebooks don't make sense
I must admit I've never really appreciated Microsoft's obsession with hybrid laptops. Back in the tablet PC days I only owned slates and friends who owned hybrids only used the hybrid as a tablet once: the first day they unboxed. I understand Microsoft's motivations are purely around defending their Office gravy-train by all means possible but this leads them to make highly compromised and confusing product decisions.
My digital work environment (the desktop or home-screen) and user interface needs to be highly optimised for the method of input. Having a single device switch between these two different ways of doing this is convoluted. And even worse, in order to make a tablet a decent convertible you need to make compromises on the key things that make modern tablets successful: Battery life, performance and usability.

Love is Art is a kit by the company of the same name that I found in my email sent by Daily Candy. What is it you ask? It's a kit that comes with everything you need to make your own piece of abstract art -- while you are--uh... being intimate with your loved one shall we say. The concept is based on the performance art of Andy Warhol and the abstract expressionism of Yves Klein.
You get a roll of canvas, a special kind to your skin paint and something to help clean the paint off with after the fact. I have to admit the whole idea made me laugh--I can just see me blushing as I do NOT explain to Great Grandma or the parents the 'where it came from and what it is' which is sure to be asked! You get custom slippers (to put on after you've finished your art of creation) and a body scrubber to get all the paint off. I can hear my husband now...we're WHAT!!!!!!!!????? But it's all in the name of love. After you finish 'painting' (wow I'll never use that word the same way again!) you shower, let the paint dry, and then take the canvas out to be stretched onto a frame and hang it proudly on your living room wall. You are the next Andy Warhol!

Should I Buy ICICI Pru iProtect Smart Online Term Plan?

Here are few key highlights which I found very attractive and beneficial to have in a term plan for securing your future.
- The terminal illness factor is very good. In that case you can get benefits of term plan or sum assured value even if the diagnosis of terminal illness before death.
- 34 critical illness cover is really amazing feature for those who has history of such diseases. But in case of pre-existing illness this plan many not work for you. Make sure you can get enough information for the same before buying this policy.
- In case of permanent disability, the future payment of premiums will be waived off keeping the benefits as it was. But you will not get anything extra as permanent disability benefit.
- If you think your family will not be able to invest the money after your death then the regular income or increasing income option is really handy to choose.

[Editorial] Addressing the social determinants of health in young people
On March 15, WHO's Regional Office for Europe released Growing up unequal: gender and socioeconomic differences in young people's health and well-being—their latest report from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. The report includes self-reported survey data for 2013–14 from adolescents in 42 countries in Europe and North America. There is good news: the proportion of 15-year-olds who first smoked at the age of 13 years or younger has fallen from 24% to 17% since 2009–10. This decrease was larger in girls than boys, and no consistent association with family affluence was found.

|Namibia Rental Guide
- Download Namibia Rental Guide -
As lessor it is advisable to check the credibility of potential tenants and ascertain their employment and whether they receive sufficient income to meet their obligations in terms of the lease agreement. However, do not discriminate either by race, gender, marital status, age disability or religion or who are allowed as visitors of the tenants. It is further advisable to rather accept a good tenant at a lower price than a bad tenant at a higher price.
General rights and obligations of Landlords and tenants
The Landlord:should deliver the property in a good condition and fit to live in and furthermore maintain the and repair ware and tear damages;
The Tenant:
Working through an Agent:
As a tenant, always ensure that you deal with an agent registered as such at the Namibia Estate Agents board with a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate. Dealing with a typical "fly-by-night" agent who is unregistered would mean that you would not have the remedies in terms of the Estate Agents Act in case of a fraudulent agent. However, dealing with the registered agent will, amongst other things, ensure that your deposit is safe and protected and will be repaid at the end of the lease agreement subject to conditions thereof.
Rental Disputes
It is not advised to take the law into your own hands when it comes to rental disputes such as outstanding rent. The best is to speak to your lawyer and take the appropriate legal steps based on the following guidelines:
Sale of a leased property
In terms of our law the alienation of leased property consisting of land or buildings in pursuance of a contract of sale does not bring the lease to an end.
Applicable Duties and taxes
Renting or Buying a property?
When renting accommodation it may be true that you don't need much of a capital outlay and that you can relocate rather easily, but it also means that you do not own a place of your own. This freedom to relocate quicker might benefit some, although one has to weigh this up against the fact that you are paying off someone else's mortgage.

On February 4, 2011, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) implemented under Federal Acquisition Regulation the Women-Owned Small Businesses Federal Contract Program (WOSBs).
The WOSB program was established to help women-owned businesses procure sole-source government contracts in the manufacturing and goods and services sectors. This is achieved by setting aside certain contracts for WOSBs in conjunction with assisting with training, counseling, and other resources.
The ultimate goal is to help WOSBs build their industrial and competitive proficiency.
WOSB requirements
To meet the SBA's requirements for becoming a WOSB, your company must be at least 51 percent women-owned and controlled by a U.S. born person. Also, the company's daily operations must be under the direct advisory and control of at least one economically disadvantaged woman.
The SBA qualification guidelines stipulate, economically disadvantaged women as having a personal net worth of less than US $750,000, a personal income over the three year period preceding certification not exceeding US $350,000, or a total net worth, including all of her assets, of less than US $6,000,000.
She must also maintain the highest title and role within the company and not engage in outside employment.
How to become a registered WOSB
Businesses can receive certification through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), which is an approved third party certifier.
If your business is currently certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE), you can apply for the WSOB certification by accessing your account and using the FASTrac system.
The WBENC certification deems businesses eligible to compete for Federal, state and local government contracts, and grants access to supplier diversity and procurement executives at major corporations and government agencies.
Certification through WBENC also gives businesses access to the WBENC professional network and eligibility for the Dorothy B. Brothers Scholarship.
Once you are ready to apply, gather all required documentation. Be prepared to provide written explanations for requested documents that do not apply to your business.
Required documentation includes:
- trust agreements
- owner's proof of identity and citizenship status
- complete history of the business
- copy of bank signature authorization card
- copy of corporate resolution
- financial statements
- tax returns
- debt instruments
- payroll for the previous month

- applicable fees
For a detailed list of requirements, visit the WBENC's website at: www.wbenc.org.
Register a new user account with the WBENC and follow the WOSB Application page.
The online application includes a summary view, sworn affidavit and a link to the WBENC User Agreement. Print the summary view, sworn affidavit and user agreement for later use.
After your registration is complete, you will receive an email notification with the address and phone number of a Regional Partner Organization (RPO). Contact the RPO, as they will determine applicable fees based on your area.

Posted by Polly Schulze ~ Owner & Artist, Village Sea Glass on Aug 12th 2017
Did you know that the odds of finding pink sea glass is 1 in 1,000? Pink glass was primarily used in the production of tableware during the Depression era. It is likely that the pink sea glass that collectors are finding was 'sun colored' due to the process of adding selenium to the original piece. The piece would begin it's life as clear glass and once it's left out in the sun it goes through a process that has it becoming more and more pink in color.
We hope you've had the chance to find some pink during your treasure hunting adventures!

The Renaultsport 200 Cup was the most track focussed vehicle of the Clio Renaultsport family.
With cup chassis as standard, it offered a lower ride height (7mm), stiffer springs and dampers and a quicker steering rack (7.5% quicker), which provided performance and cornering ability that was simply mind boggling.
The Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup also featured the best power to weight ratio in its class (166bhp per tonne).
