An Ohio lesbian has lost her legal battle to share custody of the child to which her former same-sex partner gave birth in 2006. The decision by the Ohio Supreme Court highlights the legal nightmare that appears to be evolving as homosexual "families" begin to fracture.
By a four-to-three margin the state high court ruled that the biological mother, Kelly Mullen, could retain sole custody of the child, name Lucy, who is now five years old. Until their split in 2007 Mullen had shared parenting and financial responsibility for the girl with her lesbian partner, Michele Hobbs.

20 U.S. Code § 9401 - Purposes
prev | next
The purposes of this chapter are—
(1) to increase the availability of voluntary programs, services, and activities that support early childhood development, increase parent effectiveness, and promote the learning readiness of young children so that young children enter school ready to learn;
(2) to support parents, child care providers, and caregivers who want to incorporate early learning activities into the daily lives of young children;
(3) to remove barriers to the provision of an accessible system of early childhood learning programs in communities throughout the United States;
(4) to increase the availability and affordability of professional development activities and compensation for caregivers and child care providers; and
Source(Pub. L. 106–554, § 1(a)(1) [title VIII, § 802], Dec. 21, 2000, 114 Stat. 2763, 2763A–80.)
Short Title; Findings
Pub. L. 106–554, § 1(a)(1) [title VIII, § 801], Dec. 21, 2000, 114 Stat. 2763, 2763A–79, provided that:
"(a) Short Title.—This title [enacting this chapter] may be cited as the 'Early Learning Opportunities Act'.
"(b) Findings.—Congress finds that—
"(1) medical research demonstrates that adequate stimulation of a young child's brain between birth and age 5 is critical to the physical development of the young child's brain;
"(2) parents are the most significant and effective teachers of their children, and they alone are responsible for choosing the best early learning opportunities for their child;
"(3) parent education and parent involvement are critical to the success of any early learning program or activity;
"(4) the more intensively parents are involved in their child's early learning, the greater the cognitive and noncognitive benefits to their children;
"(5) many parents have difficulty finding the information and support the parents seek to help their children grow to their full potential;
"(6) each day approximately 13,000,000 young children, including 6,000,000 infants or toddlers, spend some or all of their day being cared for by someone other than their parents;
"(7) quality early learning programs, including those designed to promote effective parenting, can increase the literacy rate, the secondary school graduation rate, the employment rate, and the college enrollment rate for children who have participated in voluntary early learning programs and activities;
"(8) early childhood interventions can yield substantial advantages to participants in terms of emotional and cognitive development, education, economic well-being, and health, with the latter two advantages applying to the children's families as well;
"(9) participation in quality early learning programs, including those designed to promote effective parenting, can decrease the future incidence of teenage pregnancy, welfare dependency, at-risk behaviors, and juvenile delinquency for children;
"(10) several cost-benefit analysis studies indicate that for each $1 invested in quality early learning programs, the Federal Government can save over $5 by reducing the number of children and families who participate in Federal Government programs like special education and welfare;
"(11) for children placed in the care of others during the workday, the low salaries paid to the child care staff, the lack of career progression for the staff, and the lack of child development specialists involved in early learning and child care programs, make it difficult to attract and retain the quality of staff necessary for a positive early learning experience;
"(12) Federal Government support for early learning has primarily focused on out-of-home care programs like those established under the Head Start Act [42 U.S.C. 9831 et seq.], the Child Care and Development Block Grant [Act] of 1990 [42 U.S.C. 9858 et seq.], and part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [20 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.], and these programs—
"(A) serve far fewer than half of all eligible children;
"(B) are not primarily designed to provide support for parents who care for their young children in the home; and
"(C) lack a means of coordinating early learning opportunities in each community; and
"(13) by helping communities increase, expand, and better coordinate early learning opportunities for children and their families, the productivity and creativity of future generations will be improved, and the Nation will be prepared for continued leadership in the 21st century."

I have to ask myself often what is it that really gets under my skin. With me being me, there are many things that make my list of pet peeves. I will not go into all of them for it might make me appear perfect, which I am not.
The first would have to be hearing a mom say to her child or children, "I'm going to tell your father on you when he gets home."

Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 Returns to Full Power
Pottstown - Operators returned Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 to full power on Monday, April 22, at approximately 11:40 p.m., marking a successful conclusion of the station's spring refueling outage that began March 25.
During the scheduled biennial outage, workers replaced nearly one-third of the reactor's fuel and performed thousands of inspections, equipment upgrades and maintenance activities, many of which cannot be performed while the unit is on line. These activities will enhance the facility's operational strength and ensure Limerick's ability to provide clean, safe and reliable electricity for another two-year operating cycle.
"It takes a great deal of skill, coordination and hard work to execute a refueling outage successfully," said Tom Dougherty, Limerick site vice president. "I'm proud of our highly trained workers for demonstrating their commitment to safety and thankful to our neighbors for their continued support."
An additional 2,000 workers, many from local union halls, supported the Limerick team during this year's outage, providing a significant boost to the local economy. Next year's Unit 1 refueling outage will bring a similar number of high-paying jobs and economic benefits to the region.
Limerick Unit 1 continued to operate during the Unit 2 outage. Limerick Generating Station is located 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia. With both units at full power, the site can produce enough carbon-free electricity for approximately two million homes.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2012 revenues of approximately $23.5 billion. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

Prendas Ciclismo Coolmax special edition socks £6.50
Cool, comfy spring/summer socks in a variety of different designs; nice price too
Weight 36g Contact www.prendas.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
Prendas Ciclismo Coolmax socks are lightweight and comfortable and they come in many different designs to match your bike, kit or mood.
I've used loads of pairs of these socks over several years. They're made from a polyester/polyamide/elastane mix that's very stretchy so you get a close fit without any ridges, and it shifts moisture away from your feet well. They're a consistent weave throughout rather than having any mesh sections but I've never noticed my feet getting particularly sweaty in these even on the hottest summer days or the steepest climbs.
The manufacturers give a temperature range for these socks of 6-22°C. I tend to wear something thicker if it's below about 10°C, or wear some overshoes, but we all have different preferences. Essentially, these are spring/summer weight socks that major on comfort and breathability rather than insulation. The section that sits outside your shoe is a double thickness and it stays in place perfectly well.
Although these are thin, they score highly for durability. I have pairs that are a couple of years old still going strong. If you go for a white pair, they gradually get less and less bright as they inevitably pick up dirt, but that's not unusual. In my experience, the reason to ditch them eventually is because they've suffered one too many wet rides rather than that the threads have worn out. They don't ever go baggy around the top like some.
As well as the performance and the reasonable price, the other reason to choose these socks is that they're available in a variety of different designs. I like the mod roundel ones – a tribute to Bradley Wiggins who was supported by Prendas as a youth rider. If that's not your thing, you can choose the Belgian colours, world champion stripes, checkerboard or various other versions.

road.cc test report
Make and model: Prendas Ciclismo Coolmax special edition socks
Size tested: Medium
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Prendas say:
"Made in Italy by the same company that produces our best-selling Coolmax socks, we are delighted to announce the arrival of these great-looking socks inspired by Bradley Wiggins' victory at the British National Road Race Championships in 2011!
Bradley Wiggins was one of the very first Prendas Supported Riders as an aspiring youth, and has of course gone onto great things!
Bradley is well know for his love of all things mod related, so these socks came from a gem of an idea. Of course, now he is sponsored by Adidas, he can't wear them, but we'd like to think that he would if he could!
"The In Crowd" references the great Dobie Gray's Mod and Northern Soul floor filler.
The nominal temperature range for these socks is 6 to 22 degrees Celsius (42 - 71 degrees Fahrenheit), but of course some people run hot and some cold. So it's up to you."
That all seems reasonable enough.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
They're made of Coolmax which does a good job of wicking moisture away from your skin and doesn't get heavy with sweat.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.
Would you consider buying the product? Yes
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes

The Emirates Group Position
About Emirates
The Emirates Group Position
Committed to making a difference through the 'Emvironment' programme
The Emirates Group's vision is to be an environmental leader in the aviation and travel industries. Our goal is to make sustainability and eco-efficiency the cornerstones of all group operations, in the air and on the ground.
Aviation is one of the world's most important contributors to economic and social development – particularly in the developing world. The aviation industry employs over 32 million people worldwide and represents 35% of world trade by value - it contributes US$1.1 trillion per annum to world GDP.
The aviation industry recognises that, although it is only responsible for less than 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, it must be committed to growing sustainably and reducing growth of its emissions. To put this in perspective, shipping accounts for some 4% of human emissions, while ground transport accounts for almost 14% (IPCC, 2004). At current growth rates, aviation is expected to account for only 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Read more about this at
Emirates is committed to a global solution for managing the growth in international aviation emissions, through ICAO – the International Civil Aviation Organisation – as mandated by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
Our customers, staff and regulators are increasingly conscious about the environment and greenhouse gas emissions.
Emirates has committed to environmentally-responsible operations through the Group's Corporate Environmental Policy (
click here to view
). This policy is implemented internally through the 'Emvironment' programme – which is communicated internally and externally to staff, customers and all stakeholders.
Our focus is becoming an ecologically-efficient organisation – growing our business to be economically sustainable, while using fewer resources and creating less waste and pollution. If we achieve these aims, it benefits our customers, the environment and our business - the triple bottom line.
The Emirates Group's commitment to eco-efficiency means multi-billion dollar investments in the most modern, eco-efficient technology available – in aircraft, engines and ground equipment – we strive to be leaders in eco-efficiency in our industry and in our region.
We are committed to operating our assets in the most environmentally responsible manner, and in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and standards.
Emirates firmly supports our industry's four-pillar strategy to reduce emissions, as developed by our industry body – the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Read more about this strategy at
Implementation of this strategy includes the use of new technology throughout our Group; making significant investments in the most modern, low-noise, low emissions aircraft available; encouraging governments to make air navigation more fuel and emission friendly; and reducing the environmental impact of our ground operations.

It appears to be a great time to be an Adobe employee right now. Fresh off their successful launch of Creative Suite 5 Adobe employees appear set to enjoy the extremely popular Android handsets courteously of their employer. As a show of support for Android Adobe may be handing out the handsets to its employees. This distribution is expected to coincide with the highly anticipated launch of Flash for Android at the upcoming Google I/O conference. However, no word on which Android device (various HTC models and the Nexus One Unlocked Phone have been mentioned) will be handed out to Adobe employees or which employees will receive these handsets.
This announcement is a clear example of Adobe and Google "dog-fooding" their own products. These two companies would love for their employees to spend as much time using Android and the Flash Player 10.1. By giving Adobe employees a free Android device Google is attracting more attention to the ever increasing in popularity Android brand.
This news makes you wish you were an Adobe employee doesn't it? Android devices are some of the hottest mobile phones on the market today. Once Adobe Flash technology comes to these mobile phones sales are expected to increase in large part to Apple's inability to include Flash technology on the Unlocked IPhone. With this Flash program Android users will be able to access a wide range of streaming content online that other smartphone users will not be able to access. The launch of Flash is expected to be a huge success when it is finally announced at Google's upcoming I/O conference.

GoalZero Solar Flashlight - 23 LED light with solar and crank
This flashlight has four methods of recharging: solar, crank, car charger (DC) and home wall charger (AC). The flashlight is a little more than a foot long and made of a lightweight composite material that is easy to grip and appears secure enough to be water-resistant. There are two lights on the bottom that indicate that the device is receiving a charge either from cranking, or from the sun. The solar indicator is helpful when you're not sure you're getting enough sun, or if you're not sure your cranking it the right way. When you plug it into the wall or your car, rest assured that it is actually charging like every other appliance.

It's not your grandfather's 13' Boston Whaler any more!
Boston Whaler says on its website that "We Create Experiences." My, my, have they got that right. We can still remember our first time on a Boston Whaler in 1962 on Lake Wawasee, Indiana, and while we can't remember her name we can still remember the boat. The company says that their boats are meant to be enjoyed by every generation of the family, and there is not a model in their line that holds that promise more than their smallest one – the 130 Super Sport.
Not only can you pick the color you like best, but you can also accessorize the boat from a laundry list of special options in order to tailor-make the boat to your needs. Not only that, if you want to add more things later, you can do that too, by ordering the accessories you want from Whaler's website. The equipment will be drop shipped to you by the country's largest marine distributor, which, like Whaler, is also owned by the Brunswick Corp.
We have not tested this boat so we can not give you the boat's performance characteristics, but suffice it to say that with its standard 40-hp kicker it can probably go over 30 mph, and at 20 mph which is where this boat should be run, you'll get something close to 10 mpg. You could run all season on a tank of gas.
We won't bore you with how the boat is built, since most everyone knows by now. But if you would like to know what the optional accessories are here is a list:
Tackle storage
Carry-on livewell – rail mounted
Tool holder - rail mounted
Swim ladder (dealer installed only)
Suntop with boot (black)
Storage organizers
Sport stainless steel steering wheel
Pelican box
Mesh retainer
Bowrail (dealer installed only)
Convertible sun lounge
Bow cushion
Bench seat with back rest
Bench seat cushion
Dash appliqué (available in 5 color options: Orange Blaze, Mediterranean Blue, Canary Yellow, Torch Red, Lime Green)----dealer installed only
Colored hull wrap (available in 5 color options: Orange Blaze, Mediterranean Blue, Canary Yellow, Torch Red, Lime Green)---dealer installed only
Live baitwell is an option and fits into the starboard quarter of the boat.
Whaler even offers their own special Pelican case, which is a good idea for expensive camera gear that can easily get knocked about and wet.
Note the orange "Dash Appliqué" which Mom will like.
Here you can see the optional cushions and back rests. If you lose one, no problem, just order another. Note the orange "Dash Appliqué" which Mom will like.
Just as was true 51 years ago there is probably no better boat to start your kids out in than the Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport. No matter how many boats you have, you can always use one of these.
For more information, visit Boston Whaler's website…
For those of you who would like to know more about the man who started Boston Whaler, which ranks as one of the all-time best inventions in the 20th Century, and a boat that changed the way all boats under 20' are built today, we offer the following---
Dick Fisher's Boat Company 1958- 1969
While the Boston Whaler boat came into commercial production in 1958, the company that was making them was formed twenty years earlier. In 1938, Harvard graduate Dick Fisher and partner Bob Pierce started the Fisher Pierce manufacturing company. It began with little money and little equipment in a shed in Dick's back yard. What they lacked in capital they made up for with Yankee ingenuity and a passion for quality. Their electrical manufacturing business was soon inventing and producing products like photo-controls, sensitive electro-magnetic relays, stepper motors, telegraph relays, magnetic amplifiers and high voltage/current sensors. By the mid-1950's the business was well enough established to permit Dick Fisher to have some spare time to follow his passion for boating.
Fisher's inventive genius wasn't limited just to electrical apparatus. He began experimenting with innovative manufacturing techniques in boat building, planning to produce a small sailing board similar to the then very popular Alcort Sunfish. In the process, and with input and suggestions from naval designer C. Raymond Hunt, he invented the 13-foot Boston Whaler, a small, unsinkable outboard power boat. After showing the boat at the 1958 New York Boat show, the design became a huge commercial success.
A Boston industrial arts teacher named Bob Dougherty came to work for Boston Whalers in the early 1960's. Dougherty would become, among other things, the chief designer of the later generations of Whaler boats.
A production facility was set up in 1958 in Braintree, Massachusetts to manufacture the "Boston Whaler" boat. The first model was to be called "The Cox'n", but this gave way to a more prosaic "Standard" model. The initial product line was confined to the 13-foot hull, until the introduction of the 16-foot model in 1961. At some point, production moved to the Hingham Street plant in Rockland, Massachusetts.
The electrical company, Fisher-Pierce, (which incidentally survives to this day) and the boat building company, Boston Whaler, eventually were separated as corporate entities. Boston Whaler continued to design and produce innovative and successful products, under the control of its founder Dick Fisher.
Fisher is often described as a genius, an inventor, a tinkerer, and a perfectionist. In 1969 he was 55-years old, and he had been running Boston Whaler for over a decade. Perhaps he wanted to retire early; perhaps he wanted to get back to other pursuits, to tinker around with other inventions; maybe he just wanted new challenges. Whatever the motivation, in 1969, Fisher sold the Boston Whaler company to CML-Group of Acton, Massachusetts, a specialties marketing company. After the sale, Fisher stayed on as a consultant until 1972.

Pregnancy and childbirth should be occasions to celebrate life and hope. Yet for millions of women in the developing world, pregnancy and childbirth pose major risks of disability or death. Each year in Rwanda and Malawi, for example, one woman out of every 200 who deliver a baby will die in pregnancy or childbirth, as compared to one of 8,000 women in the United States.
Worldwide, the number of women dying as a result of pregnancy is declining, with maternal mortality decreasing by 47 percent from 1990 to 2010, according to the World Health Organization. However, Millennium Development Goal 5, which aims to reduce global maternal mortality by three-quarters by the year 2015, is still the furthest off track. Nearly all maternal deaths could be prevented with targeted interventions at the community, clinic, and hospital level.
PIH strives to address these lethal inequalities by expanding access to innovative women's health services in the countries where we work.
We provide access to basic health services proven to lower maternal death rates: family planning, comprehensive antenatal care, adequate nutrition, and medical care for childbirth and pregnancy. We also offer antiretroviral treatment for pregnant women living with HIV as a way to improve health and prevent mother-to-child transmission of the virus during childbirth.
Family planning
Family planning is among the most effective tools for reducing maternal mortality. Women who receive education and contraceptive options are more likely to delay childbearing, have fewer children, and reduce their risk for obstetrical complications. Nevertheless, an estimated 41 percent of all pregnancies worldwide are unplanned or unwanted, accounting for nearly 230,000 new pregnancies every day, according to a 2010 article in the journal Studies in Family Planning.
Women in poor communities too often lack access to family planning tools. Clinics are too far away, fees for obtaining medical care are too high, and transportation costs are beyond their means. If family planning services were available to all women who want them, maternal mortality in poor countries could be reduced by an estimated 70 percent, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
Haiti, each of PIH's clinics has a full-time nurse trained in sex education and reproductive health counseling. Staff in Haiti have been offering free condoms and contraception for more than 15 years. In 2003, we began training and mobilizing community health workers who specifically promote family planning and women's health. These ajan fanm—women's health agents—travel throughout the countryside, teaching people about sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, and contraceptive methods. They also distribute condoms and oral contraceptives and refer pregnant women to clinics. This successful model is being replicated at PIH sites in Rwanda, Malawi, and Lesotho.
Skilled obstetric care for pregnancy and childbirth
Each year in developing countries, 42 percent of all births occur without help from a skilled attendant, and 35 percent of pregnant women have no contact at all with health personnel before delivery, according to the United Nations Population Fund. Yet potentially fatal complications occur in 15 percent of all births. Because of this, it is critical that women deliver in or very near facilities capable of providing basic emergency obstetrical and newborn care.
At PIH's clinics in Haiti, high-quality obstetric care for pregnancy, childbirth, and emergency complications is available to all pregnant women. Each of PIH's 12 facilities in Haiti is supported by six full-time obstetrician/gynecologists and 13 midwives who work across all sites.
PIH's staff works with matrons and traditional birth attendants to ensure that pregnant women receive the safest and most efficient obstetric care possible. At the women's health clinic at Rwinkwavu Hospital in rural Rwanda, specialized nurses are trained in prenatal counseling and delivery as well as family planning.
In June 2009, PIH/Lesotho began training specialized community health workers to educate and accompany pregnant women to health centers, ensuring they receive care from skilled health professionals. In 2010, 70 percent of reported deliveries in PIH/Lesotho's Bobete Health Center catchment area occurred at the Health Center, a 350 percent increase in facility-based deliveries, according to published research.
Preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV
Ninety percent of the 2.5 million children living with HIV became infected during childbirth, according to UNAIDS. So did the vast majority of more than 257,000 children who die of AIDS each year. Yet a simple and effective treatment for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) has been available since 1994.
In 1995, PIH began providing antiretroviral treatment for PMTCT to HIV-positive pregnant women in rural Haiti. Since the PMTCT program was introduced, the HIV infection rate of newborns born at PIH clinics has fallen to levels rivaling those in developed countries. This model for prevention has since been expanded to Rwanda, Malawi, and Lesotho.

The much-awaited new pavilion is taking shape at the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park.
Work crews began putting together the $255,000 pavilion at the site of the old aviary, which was torn down to make room for the new facility. It will be used for events such as classes, presentations and private parties.
Its starting to look like something, said City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk, while looking at the projects progress Wednesday afternoon.
If all goes well, the pre-engineered, 50-by-50-foot, cross-shaped metal pavilion should be finished by the end of the month, depending on the weather. The pavilion will get its debut at the Aug. 10 Brew at the Zoo event, zoo Executive Director John T. Wright said.
We use the event as our rollout, he said.
The city will honor the late Mayor Karl R. Burns by naming the pavilion after him. City officials are planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the occasion.
On Wednesday, work crews from D.E.W. Builders the Adams Center general contractor in charge of the project arrived at the zoo at 5:30 a.m. to install underground utilities around the main building, just so they would not interfere with zoo patrons, Mr. Wright said.
Theyve been real great to work with, he said.
Later in the day, they were using a forklift and other equipment to install metal columns that will become the pavilions frame. Once all of that is up, workers will put in the concrete slab floor and install the light brown cedar-shake roof.
But the zoo and the city still must work out the details on the type of furniture and audio-visual equipment that will be used, Mr. Wright said, adding he envisions getting bleachers and other items that can be rolled in and out as needed.
The pavilion will be similar to the one installed last year at the J.B. Wise parking lot north of Public Square.
It was about four years ago that the Thompson Park Conservancy, the group that runs the zoo, first approached the city about tearing down the aviary. The conservancy first suggested getting rid of the aviary and replacing it with a $20,000 to $30,000 pavilion. The City Council, however, balked at demolishing the 30-year-old aviary, contending it was an iconic figure.
The project subsequently went through a series of major changes during the past four years.
Last summer, the council scrapped a far more intricate design for an indoor educational facility because its projected cost had risen to more than $1 million.

SSDL Touchpoints: Code Review (CR)
The overall goal of the Code Review practice is quality control. Those performing code review must ensure the detection and correction of security bugs. The SSG must enforce adherence to standards and the reuse of approved security features.
CR Level 1: Use manual and automated code review with centralized reporting. The SSG must make itself available to others to raise awareness of and demand for code review. The SSG must perform code reviews on high-risk applications whenever it can get involved in the process and must use the knowledge gained to inform the organization of the types of bugs being discovered. Management must make code review mandatory for all software projects. The SSG must enforce use of centralized tools reporting to capture knowledge on recurring bugs and push that information into strategy and training.
Create a top N bugs list (real data preferred). The SSG maintains a list of the most important kinds of bugs that need to be eliminated from the organization's code and uses it to drive change. The list helps focus the organization's attention on the bugs that matter most. A generic list could be pulled from public sources, but a list is much more valuable if it is specific to the organization and built from real data gathered from code review, testing, and actual incidents. The SSG can periodically update the list and publish a "most wanted" report. (For another way to use the list, see [T1.6 Create and use material specific to company history].) Some firms use multiple tools and real code base data to build top N lists, not constraining themselves to a particular service or tool. One potential pitfall with a top N list is the problem of "looking for your keys only under the street light." For example, the OWASP Top Ten list rarely reflects an organization's bug priorities. Simply sorting the day's bug data by number of occurrences does not produce a satisfactory Top N list since these data change so often.
Have SSG perform ad hoc review. The SSG performs an ad hoc code review for high-risk applications in an opportunistic fashion. For example, the SSG might follow up the design review for high-risk applications with a code review. Replace ad hoc targeting with a systematic approach at higher maturity levels. SSG review may involve the use of specific tools and services, or it may be manual.
Use automated tools along with manual review. Incorporate static analysis into the code review process in order to make code review more efficient and more consistent. The automation does not replace human judgment, but it does bring definition to the review process and security expertise to reviewers who are not security experts. A firm may use an external service vendor as part of a formal code review process for software security. This service should be explicitly connected to a larger SSDL applied during software development and not just "check the security box" on the path to deployment.
Make code review mandatory for all projects. Code review is a mandatory release gate for all projects under the SSG's purview. Lack of code review or unacceptable results will stop the release train. While all projects must undergo code review, the review process might be different for different kinds of projects. The review for low-risk projects might rely more heavily on automation and the review for high-risk projects might have no upper bound on the amount of time spent by reviewers. In most cases, a code review gate with a minimum acceptable standard forces projects that do not pass to be fixed and re-evaluated before they ship.
Use centralized reporting to close the knowledge loop and drive training. The bugs found during code review are tracked in a centralized repository. This repository makes it possible to do summary reporting and trend reporting for the organization. The SSG can use the reports to demonstrate progress and drive the training curriculum. (See [SM2.5 Identify metrics and use them drive budgets].) Code review information can be incorporated into a CSO-level dashboard that includes feeds from other parts of the security organization. Likewise, code review information can be fed into a Development-wide project tracking system that rolls up a number of diverse software security feeds (for example: penetration tests, security testing, black box testing, white box testing, etc.). Don't forget that individual bugs make excellent training examples.
CR Level 2: Enforce standards through code review process. The SSG must guide developer behavior through coding standards enforcement with automated tools and tool mentors. The SSG must combine automated assessment techniques with tailored rules to find problems efficiently.
Enforce coding standards. A violation of the organization's secure coding standards is sufficient grounds for rejecting a piece of code. Code review is objective—it does not devolve into a debate about whether or not bad code is exploitable. The enforced portion of the standard could start out being as simple as a list of banned functions. In some cases, coding standards are published as developer guidelines specific to technology stacks (for example, guidelines for C++ or Spring) and then enforced during the code review process or directly in the IDE. Note that guidelines can be positive ("do it this way") as well as negative ("do not use this API").
Assign tool mentors. Mentors are available to show developers how to get the most out of code review tools. If the SSG is most skilled with the tools, it could use office hours to help developers establish the right configuration or get started interpreting results. Alternatively, someone from the SSG might work with a development team for the duration of the first review they perform. Centralized use of a tool can be distributed into the development organization over time through the use of tool mentors.
Use automated tools with tailored rules. Customize static analysis to improve efficiency and reduce false positives. Use custom rules to find errors specific to the organization's coding standards or custom middleware. Turn off checks that are not relevant. The same group that provides tool mentoring will likely spearhead the customization. Tailored rules can be explicitly tied to proper usage of technology stacks in a positive sense and avoidance of errors commonly encountered in a firm's code base in a negative sense.
CR Level 3: Build an automated code review factory with tailored rules. The SSG must build a capability to find and eradicate specific bugs from the entire codebase.
Build a factory. Combine assessment results so that multiple analysis techniques feed into one reporting and remediation process. The SSG might write scripts to invoke multiple detection techniques automatically and combine the results into a format that can be consumed by a single downstream review and reporting solution. Analysis engines may combine static and dynamic analysis. The tricky part of this activity is normalizing vulnerability information from disparate sources that use conflicting terminology. In some cases, a CWE-like approach can help with nomenclature. Combining multiple sources helps drive better informed risk mitigation decisions.
Build a capability for eradicating specific bugs from entire codebase. When a new kind of bug is found, the SSG writes rules to find it, and uses the rules to identify all occurrences of the new bug throughout the entire codebase. It is possible to entirely eradicate the bug type without waiting for every project to reach the code review portion of its lifecycle. A firm with only a handful of software applications will have an easier time with this activity than firms with a very large number of large apps.
Automate malicious code detection. Automated code review is used to identify dangerous code written by malicious in-house developers or outsource providers. Examples of malicious code that could be targeted include: backdoors, logic bombs, time bombs, nefarious communication channels, obfuscated program logic, and dynamic code injection. Although out-of-the-box automation might identify some generic malicious-looking constructs, custom rules for static analysis tools used to codify acceptable and unacceptable code patterns in the organization's codebase will quickly become a necessity. Manual code review for malicious code is a good start, but is insufficient to complete this activity.

A Double Standard for Morality?
The only way that I can see for the believer to refute it is to say something like God is a mystery and that we can not expect to dictate what God can do. This would be a mischaracterization and an appeal to the supernatural, specifically God, but the presumption of God and the supernatural is controversial. In the case that the believer says that God is a special case, for whatever reason, would be a case of special pleading, and they would have to show why morality rules for us don't apply to God. In the end, their presumption is still that God exists and as I said before this is a weak premise in that it is controversial on two, maybe three, points.
1. that there is a god
2. that it is the Abrahamic god
3. Possibly irrelevant, but that he had anything to do with scripture.
In the case that they choose that strategy, it would be an argument from ignorance as well, but weaker because its premises are controversial. I am not suggesting that I have authority to decide or dictate what God can or cannot do, I can only say what he should or should not do using informal logic and defeasible reasoning schemes.
The exchange in the forums went as follows.
Commenter1: have you ever stopped to realize how infinitely gracious God is to not have annihilated the entire human race?
Lee: Would you say that my dogs should be infinitely grateful that I don't kill them when I get up in the morning?
Commenter2: I cant see the dog analogy as a viable one…Its an argument of proportion.
My point was that that there is a strong presumption that God shouldn't kill us therefore it doesn't follow that we should be grateful that he doesn't. For him to kill us would be immoral or criminal. There is a weaker presumption that I shouldn't kill my dog. It would be more immoral for God to kill me than it would be for me to kill my dog. I think this argument should expose the 'double standard' for morals that I see being argued by believers for humans and God. What follows is a 'dizzying' defense of that claim.
Most analogies are flawed, that is why they are a defeasible form of argument. But when analogies can be shown to be similar enough to a situation, they can be used to increase the plausibility of a position.
The dog analogy is not similar in the fact that I am not a God and my dog is not a human and I didn't create the dog.
The dog analogy works because of the relationship, not because of the proportion.
When a Christian says that we should be grateful that God lets us live, that sets up the relationship. In theory, God created us, he is more powerful than us, he has control of whether we live or die, we should thank him for our daily bread (which creates the presumption that he has some control over it), and we should thank him that he lets us live.
When I say that my dog should be grateful that I let him live, In reality, I did not create him (negative analogy), I am more powerful than him (positive), I am in control of whether he lives or dies (pos.), he should thank me for his food (pos.), and he should thank me that I let him live.
The discrepency in my analogy (that I did not create the dog), is actually a negative for the believers argument. Here's why. I should have used my son instead of my dog, because it would have been more appropriate but I didn't think about it. In a way, I created my son, or at least I was a catalyst for his existence.
Here is the rough hierarchy for that analogy, dog < son < me < God. For me to kill my dog is less criminal than for me to kill my son, therefore, I should be expected to be less likely to kill my son than my dog. Therefore, to say that my dog should be happy that I let him live has more force than to say to my son that he should be happy that I let him live, and it should have less force to say that I should be happy that God lets me live. It should be less likely that God would kill me than I would kill my son. Therefore, if God were to kill me, it would be more criminal / immoral than if I were to kill my son, or my dog.
If I injected God into the equation, it would have more force to say that I should be happy that God lets my dog live, less force to say that I should be happy that God lets my son live, less force to say that I should be happy that God lets me live. I know that in reality, my son and I should be equal in Gods eyes, but like I said, analogies are defeasible.
So for me to kill my dog would be less criminal than for God to kill me, and therefore it would be more criminal for God to kill me than for me to kill my dog, therefore there is a stronger PRESUMPTION that God shouldn't kill me therefore it can be EXPECTED that God shouldn't kill me, therefore it doesn't follow that we should be grateful that God doesn't kill us because there is a strong presumption that he shouldn't kill us because it would be criminal or immoral, more so than if I were to kill my dog.

North Carolina's legislature placed the fate of marriage in that state into the hands of the citizenry on September 13 when the state Senate voted 30-16 in favor of a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as only between a man and a woman. That vote came one day after the state House approved the amendment by a 75-42 margin, setting up next May's ballot referendum, which will require a simple majority approval by voters in order to inscribe the marriage protection measure into the state's constitution.
"It is time for us to let the people of this state decide what they want in their constitution as far as marriage is concerned," Republican state Senator Phil Berger challenged fellow lawmakers during floor debate on the amendment. "It may pass, it may fail. But it is time for them to make that decision about their constitution."
As reported by Baptist Press News: "All four states that border North Carolina passed constitutional marriage amendments in 2004 or 2006, but leaders in the then-Democratic controlled North Carolina legislature blocked an amendment from even coming to a floor vote. That changed last year when Republicans took over both chambers for the first time in more than 100 years."

Biohazard Waste Expertise You Can Trust
Disposal of regulated medical waste has been our business since 1989. The regulations associated with various biohazards and their disposal are intricate, vary by state and local requirements, and are regulated by several federal government agencies including:
- US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- US Department of Transportation (DOT)

- US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
If your facility also disposes of pharmaceuticals or hazardous waste, distinct regulatory requirements apply to these regulated wastes as well.

For most organizations, OSHA has strict guidelines intended to protect you and your employees. For example, annual bloodborne pathogens training is legally required for every employee who may come in contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. OSHA also requires that employers maintain and update specific safety plans, such as a bloodborne pathogens exposure control plan and written hazard communication program. Stericycle offers both on-site and online tools to help you navigate these requirements, be compliant, and avoid costly citations and penalties.

ATLANTA — As dawn broke Sunday, Syracuse was beginning a sullen trek home to Central New York instead of heading to the Georgia Dome to prepare for a national championship game.
And you can bet the Orange were still digesting what went wrong during Saturday's 61-56 NCAA semifinal loss to Michigan.
There will be time for closer introspection and analysis later this week for both the coaches and players. All fans know is that their beloved Orange fell short of a second national crown.
SU supporters should be ecstatic that this particular team made it this far.
Under the circumstances, having lost four key players from last year's Elite Eight squad, and filling in the gaps with kids who had never played such prominent roles, it was a terrific season.
Coach Jim Boeheim, who has had more talented squads do less than this one, acknowledged how he felt about this group early Sunday morning.
"These kids did an incredible job of fighting and maintaining their focus throughout the season,'' Boeheim said. "We have our flaws to be sure. But they just dug in and battled through a lot of adversity and just played ball all year long.''
Boeheim also indicated "this team was as fun to coach as any I've ever sad. That's saying something after 37 years.''
What they accomplished was another 30-win season for the veteran coach, his seventh, the school's fifth Final Four appearance in five different decades, and the respect of opposing coaches.
"That's one gutty, tough team,'' Michigan coach John Beilein said. "We had them down and out several times, and they just kept fighting back. That's a credit to Jim and how he prepares his kids.''
SU senior guard Brandon Triche said, "It was disappointing to not play as well as we could in our final game, but we gave it all we had. I think you can say that about the whole season — we left it all on the floor.''
There were plenty of highs and several lows that ultimately made it an interesting season.
It began with a game on an old aircraft carrier in San Diego harbor. There, the new-look Orange beat a highly regarded San Diego State team, 62-49.
Three weeks later, the Orange posted one of its most impressive wins of the season, beating Arkansas on the road in the SEC/Big East Challenge. That was the Razorbacks' only home loss of the season.
SU reeled off 10 straight wins to the start the season before falling to Temple in the Gotham Classic at Madison Square Garden.
Boeheim's club, 12-1 heading into its final Big East Conference season, got a huge lift from sophomore Michael Carter-Williams, who emerged as one of the top point guards in the country, and junior forward C.J. Fair, who showed an expanded offensive game,
SU won its first three conference games rather routinely before James Southerland was sidelined with an eligibility issue before the Villanova game on Jan. 12. He eventually served a six-game suspension.
With Southerland out, the Orange still posted home wins over Villanova and Cincinnati and a huge road victory at then-No. 1 Louisville.
But then, things went sour. SU dropped back-to-back games at Villanova and Pittsburgh.
A 57-46 loss to Georgetown before the largest home crowd in Carrier Dome history started a three-game losing streak. The Orange also fell to Marquette and Louisville.
The Orange closed the season by losing seven of its last 12 games, concluding with the worst loss of the year, 61-39, at Georgetown in the Big East regular-season finale.
"It would have been easy to just play out the season at that point,'' Southerland said. "But we continued to believe in ourselves and were determined that the season wasn't going to end on such a bad note.''
SU's stunning run to the Big East title game gave Orange fans renewed hope, especially with the 2-3 zone stifling opponents.
Their stellar play continued through two relatively easy NCAA wins in California, a stunning double-digit win over East Region top seed Indiana in Washington, D.C., and a payback victory over Marquette in the regional final.
"Reaching the Final Four is great,'' Boeheim said. "But people only remember you if you win.''
The uncertain status of a couple of players will determine what next year's team will look like.
Carter-Williams is almost certainly gone. He's projected as a high NBA draft choice, possibly a lottery pick. Fair, after a strong finish, may also attract some pro looks.
SU will also miss the leadership and experience of Triche and Southerland, guiding forces behind the late-season resurgence.
As for the other returnees, sophomore forward Rakeem Christmas must make major improvements to his game; redshirt freshman guard Trevor Cooney has to make more shots; Coleman, who missed a month with knee problems, needs to establish himself as a low-post scorer; and Grant must build off a solid rookie season.
SU's five-player recruiting class is ranked in the top 10 in the country. The highlight player is point guard Tyler Ennis, who would replace Carter-Williams. Duke transfer Michael Gbinje, a 6-5 guard, will also be in the mix.
As for Boeheim, he insisted again he will be on the bench when SU begins a new era in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"I love the Big East. But if it was even remotely the same conference as it has been, I would quit because I wouldn't be happy,'' he said. "But it isn't. In fact, there's more Big East teams in the ACC than there are Big East teams in whatever the conference's new name is (American Athletic).''
