TurkofAmerica - The Virtual Private Network (VPN), which has gained attention when the social media sites got banned, is being used by millions of people in the world today. With the work of companies that produce tunnel technologies for certain banned websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, access is made possible without the recognition of the IP address. Especially in Tunisia and Egypt during the Arab Spring, millions of people accessed the banned sites Twitter and Facebook by using this tunnel technology. And, actually, companies that enabled the breach of this ban gave a pathway to the Arab Spring. Lately in Turkey, as well, the banned site Youtube is being accessed through this technology. The ban on Twitter was also breached through the same technology. Today, around 600 million people are still facing internet bans. One of the sub-branches of the Mountain View, CA-centered VPN company is AnchorFree. Along with the founders of the company, which is also the owner of the HotSpotShield product, David Gorodyansky and Eugene Malobrodsky, a Turkish women entrepreneur, Bağlan Nurhan Rhymes, is the major shareholder.

Hedo Turkoglu did next to nothing from a statistical standpoint for the Clippers a season ago, after being added in the middle of the year in an attempt to bolster the bench with a veteran player that could help the team for its run into the postseason. But he must have been a good practice squad player and/or a good locker room presence, because L.A. is reportedly going to bring him back for next season.

The Los Angeles Clippers might re-sign forward Hedo Turkoglu if they waive the newly acquired Carlos Delfino and Miroslav Raduljica, according to the Orange County Register's Dan Woike. All signs point to both of them being waived in order to give Los Angeles roster flexibility. To use that flexibility on Turkoglu, though, would be curious. The 14-year veteran did not exactly prove himself to be still capable of contributing last year. 
Present Music will open its 33rd season Aug. 30 with Ince by Ince, a program of five recent works by Turkish American composer Kamran Ince, including three American premieres.
