After NPR's The Diane Rehm Show hosted a spokesman from a notorious anti-gay hate group during a discussion of same-sex adoption, NPR's ombudsman admitted that the show erred in failing to properly identify the group.
On the December 10 edition of NPR's The Diane Rehm Show, guest host Melissa Ross interviewed Peter Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at the Family Research Council (FRC), to discuss legal battles over parenting and adoption rights for same-sex couples. While the Southern Poverty Law Center has listed FRC as an anti-gay hate group since 2010, NPR didn't identify Sprigg as a hate group spokesman, and Sprigg used the platform to peddle misinformation about LGBT equality.
In a post responding to criticisms of the segment, NPR's ombudsman Elizabeth Jensen joined Diane Rehm in acknowledging that the show erred by "not us[ing] a clear identifier" for Sprigg. Rehm admitted that she has "to do a better job of being more careful about identification":
I heard from many people after Media Matters for America, which calls itself a "progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media," wrote a blog post objecting to a guest on the Dec. 10 Diane Rehm Show (which had a guest host, Melissa Ross, that day). Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council, was one of four guests invited to discuss the day's topic: legal battles over parenting and adoption rights for same-sex couples.
Media Matters wrote that NPR (which distributes the show but does not produce it) gave Sprigg "a national platform to peddle misinformation about same-sex parenting." The organization Faithful America also sent an email blast that said: "Tell NPR: Don't let anti-gay hate group speak for Christians."
In the last 45 seconds of the program, as Ross was focused on wrapping up, Sprigg said that "most orthodox Christians" believe that "engaging in homosexual conduct is contrary to the will of God," a claim that depends on the murky definition of "orthodox Christians." (See this May 2015 Pew Research Center poll looking at Americans' attitudes over whether their religious beliefs are in conflict with homosexuality.) But as I read the transcript, the show's other guests forcefully pushed back against Sprigg's other claims at pretty much every turn.
I asked Rehm about the guest booking. Her view (with which I agree): "I certainly don't see that there's a problem having someone like that on the program." Where the show erred, she said, "was we did not use a clear identifier [for Sprigg] other than the title of his organization." She added, "We have to do a better job of being more careful about identification."
NPR hosted a spokesman from a notorious anti-gay hate group during a discussion of same-sex adoption, giving him a national platform to peddle misinformation about same-sex parenting.
On the December 10 edition of NPR's The Diane Rehm Show, guest host Melissa Ross interviewed Peter Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at the Family Research Council (FRC) to discuss legal battles over parenting and adoption rights for same-sex couples.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed FRC as an anti-gay hate group since 2010 due to the organization's propagation of known falsehoods about LGBT people. The group has a history of making wild and inflammatory attacks on LGBT equality while masquerading as a serious policy organization in the media. Sprigg, who served as an ordained Baptist minister before joining FRC, has called for recriminalizing gay sex in the U.S. and suggested LGBT people should be "export[ed]" from the country.
But NPR didn't identify Sprigg as a hate group spokesman, and Sprigg used the platform to peddle misinformation about LGBT equality. Sprigg cited a widely discredited paper to suggest that children raised by same-sex couples perform poorly, and resurrected the long debunked horror story that Catholic adoption agencies have been shut down for refusing to serve same-sex couples. While guest host Melissa Ross did not push back on Sprigg's talking points, fellow guest Emily Hetch-McGowan, Director of Public Policy the Family Equality Council, called out FRC's use of discredited research:
PETER SPRIGG: And I think that certainly there is abundant reason to believe that children do best when raised by a married mother and father. And within the context of foster care the judge has an obligation to do what's in the best interest of the child. And he exercised that discretion.
MELISSA ROSS: And what research does the Family Research Council cite to buttress the claim that a child is better off with a heterosexual couple?
SPRIGG: Well, there's an abundance of research showing that children do better overall when raised by their own married biological father who are committed to one another in a life-long marriage. There are just reams of research showing that. Now this is a slightly different situation because of the fact that you're dealing with a situation where they are being removed from their biological parents. But we think that there is evidence to suggest that children would do better with a mother and father even if it's not their biological parents.
Asking Hate Groups About Marriage Equality Isn't Balance, It's Bad Journalism
FRC's Sprigg Desperately Tries To Justify Discriminating Against Gay Blood Donors
FRC's Sprigg Spreads Lies About Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)
Media outlets have repeatedly turned to an extreme anti-gay hate group to comment on the Supreme Court's recent marriage equality decision, needlessly exposing audiences to misinformation while failing to hold the group accountable for its track record of dishonesty.
Following the Supreme Court's June 26 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges -- which found that bans on same-sex marriage violate the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution - several media outlets invited representatives from the Family Research Council (FRC) to offer their reactions to the decision.
FRC has been labeled an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) because it propagates "known falsehoods" about the LGBT community, including linking homosexuality to pedophilia and accusing gay people of trying to "recruit" children. The group has a long track record of making wildly inaccurate policy predictions about the consequences of basic protections for LGBT people.
But despite the group's extremism and without reference to their record, FRC was widely cited by major media outlets in the wake of Obergefell, including NPR, The New York Times, and USA Today.
Spokespersons from FRC were also invited to react to the decision on national television. ABC's This Week invited FRC's Ken Blackwell - who previously blamed same-sex marriage for a mass murder - to discuss the court's decision. On Fox News' The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly offered a platform FRC president and frequent guest Tony Perkins, who has called pedophilia a "homosexual problem." As usual, none of these outlets identified FRC as a hate group or informed their audiences about the organization's history of misinformation.
And during the June 29 edition of CNN's New Day, host Chris Cuomo invited FRC's Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies, to discuss the decision in Obergefell. Sprigg, whoseprofessional experience before FRC includes serving as a Baptist minister and 10 years as a "professional actor," has previously suggested he'd prefer to "export homosexuals from the United States." But despite his extremism and lack of expertise, Sprigg was given a platform to fearmonger about the consequences of country-wide marriage equality:
The Daily Caller provided a hate group spokesman a platform to smear marriage equality and same-sex families, part of the conservative website's pattern of promoting the commentary of some of the most extreme anti-LGBT figures in the country.
In a May 5 column, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council (FRC), an anti-gay hate group, touted Irreplaceable, a new Focus on the Family film celebrating straights-only marriage. Sprigg lauded the film for its support of "God's design for marriage." If society were to "devalue" marriage, he argued, it would "devalue being a parent," and thereby "devalue children":
If you devalue marriage, you devalue being a parent - or more specifically, being a mother or a father, since the importance of gender roles ("not deterministic, but dynamic") is emphasized.
If you devalue parents, then you devalue children. Jonathan Last, author of What to Expect When No One's Expecting, says that the sexual revolution dismembered the "iron triangle" of marriage, sex, and baby-making, and the resulting indifference in the West to creating the next generation constitutes a form of "civilizational sickness."
His column is relatively tame in the context of his career of fear mongering about gay people, including baselessly peddling the claim that gay men are sexual predators who prey on children.
Meanwhile, Sprigg's stances on other LGBT issues are no less offensive. He sits on the board PFOX, a group promoting discredited "ex-gay" therapy, and has asserted that the proper response to gay teen suicides is to encourage gay youth to change their sexual orientations. In remarks that he later walked back following fierce criticism, Sprigg said he "would much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them into the United States." Sprigg is no friend of the transgender community either, having declared contrary to expert consensus that trans people suffer from "delusions."
Sprigg isn't the first hate group spokesman to be granted column space in the Daily Caller. FRC President Tony Perkins has also written for the website. In July 2013, the site published a column from Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) President Austin Ruse cheering Russia's draconian anti-LGBT crackdown, praising Russian President Vladimir Putin for taking a stand against the sexual "immorality" that Ruse claimed pervades the United States.
The Daily Caller has also published numerous pieces from National Organization for Marriage (NOM) President Brian Brown, who condemns homosexuality as "deceitful, harmful, and degrading to the human soul," and American Values President Gary Bauer, who in addition to campaigning against marriage equality in the U.S. has used his Daily Caller column space to inveigh against critics of Russia's anti-gay laws.
While Sprigg, Perkins, Ruse, Brown, and Bauer have only written for the Daily Caller's opinion section, anti-gay talking points have also found their way into the website's purportedly straight news reporting.
Fox News host Shannon Bream invited the hate group Family Research Council's (FRC) Peter Sprigg to confirm her baseless belief that a proposed non-discrimination ordinance would ban Christians from holding public office in San Antonio, marking her third failed attempt to smear the measure.
On the August 27 edition of America Live, Bream and Sprigg peddled unfounded right-wing attacks on the proposal - which adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the city's existing non-discrimination ordinance - as an assault on the rights of Christians. Bream opened the segment by echoing critics who claim the ordinance could be "the first step to banning Christian conservatives from holding public office":
BREAM: New developments today with a controversial proposal in San Antonio that critics say could be the first step to banning Christian conservatives from holding public office. The city council proposing an ordinance that disqualifies anyone who has ever, quote, demonstrated a bias against a person based on race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. That appears to include people who have spoken out against things like gay marriage and in support of traditional marriage.
Fox News hosted a spokesman from an anti-gay hate group to continue the network's ongoing assault on a California bill that will allow transgender students to have access to school facilities and teams that correspond with their gender identity.
Following Gov. Jerry Brown's signing of a law that prohibits California public schools from discriminating against transgender students, Fox News invited Peter Sprigg, spokesman for the Family Research Council (FRC), to appear on the August 13 edition of America's Newsroom.
Sprigg - whose history of extreme anti-LGBT commentary includes suggesting that gay people should be exported from the U.S. - asserted that the law would ignore "biological reality" while pandering to students' "transient feelings and emotions":
As Congress prepares to once again consider the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), media outlets should avoid giving platforms to hate mongers who have made careers manufacturing blatant falsehoods about the bill.
On July 10, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee will vote on ENDA - a bill that would prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. ENDA has been introduced in every Congress since 1994 except for the 109th. The measure already has 52 Senate co-sponsors, though its prospects in the House remain to be seen.
An overwhelming majority of Americans support ENDA, including a strong majority of Republicans, Catholics, and senior citizens. Even among people who identify themselves as having unfavorable feelings towards homosexuality, half favor workplace protections for LGBT people. In fact, nine out of ten voters incorrectly believe a federal law like ENDA already exists.
ENDA also has the backing of the business community, with small businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike supporting policies protecting LGBT employees.
CNN invited Family Research Council (FRC) Senior Fellow Peter Sprigg - who has previously advocated the criminalization of homosexuality and deportation of gay people from the United States - to condemn the recent withdrawal of an anti-gay pastor from President Obama's second inauguration.
During the January 11 edition of CNN Newsroom, host Carol Costello invited Sprigg and Truth Wins Out director Wayne Besen to discuss Georgia pastor Louie Giglio's decision to withdraw from performing the benediction at Obama's inauguration.
Giglio announced his withdrawal after ThinkProgress revealed that he had given a "vehemently anti-gay" sermon in the mid-1990s during which he condemned the "homosexual lifestyle," claimed gay people would go to hell, and claimed that gay people could become straight through the power of Christ.
Sprigg, whose organization has been labeled an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for spreading known falsehoods about LGBT people, attempted to downplay Giglio's comments, accusing gay activists of pursuing "intolerance in the name of tolerance":
SPRIGG: The world we live in, unfortunately, is increasingly marked by the enforcement of intolerance in the name of tolerance, exclusion in the name of inclusion, and forced uniformity in the name of diversity. It's contradictory, it's downright Orwellian, and yet people actually make these statements, unbelievably, with a straight face.
Besen responded by pointing out that Sprigg has previously called for the criminalization for homosexuality and advocated for exporting gay people from the United States, a point that Costello confirmed:
BESEN: Peter, I find it ironic that you're embracing diversity. I mean you called for the imprisonment of gay people and said we should export homosexuals out of the United States and suddenly you're for tolerance? I'm a little confused here.
SPRIGG: [laughing] Well this is about Pastor Giglio and President Obama, it's not about me.
BESEN: No, I just find it ironic that you're a spokesperson for tolerance.
COSTELLO: But Wayne is right, Peter. Wayne is right about that, Peter.
Sprigg's history of inflammatory anti-gay rhetoric goes even further, endorsing "ex-gay" therapy and claiming that gay people are mentally ill. According to a recent SPLC report:
Sprigg authored a 2010 brochure touting "The Top Ten Myths about Homosexuality." In the brochure, Sprigg claimed that ex-gay therapy works, that sexual orientation can change, that gay people are mentally ill simply because homosexuality makes them that way, and that, "Sexual abuse of boys by adult men is many times more common than consensual sex between adult men, and most of those engaging in such molestation identify themselves as homosexual or bisexual." He also claimed that "homosexuals are less likely to enter into a committed relationship" and "less likely to be sexually faithful to a partner." Sprigg's sources are a mixture of junk science issued by groups that support ex-gay therapy and legitimate science quoted out of context or cherry-picked, a tactic long used by anti-gay groups to bolster their claims about gay people. [emphasis added]
It's not surprising, then, that Sprigg falsely claimed that the majority of Americans find homosexuality to be immoral. Pastor Giglio's anti-gay remarks may seem tame to someone like Sprigg, but they're far out of line with the American public's growing acceptance of LGBT equality.
From the July 15 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:
Loading the player reg...
Family Research Council senior fellow Peter Sprigg was on CNN last night -- and quoted in yesterday's Washington Post -- opposing equal rights for gays. Neither news organization adequately explained who Sprigg is, perhaps because doing so would raise serious questions about why it granted him a platform.
Peter Sprigg wants "gay behavior" outlawed and has said he would "much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them into the United States because we believe that homosexuality is destructive to society." Sprigg's comments played a role in the Southern Poverty Law Center's decision to identify FRC as a "hate group." (Sprigg subsequently apologized for the comment about exporting gays, saying he was guilty of "speaking in a way that did not reflect the standards which the Family Research Council and I embrace" -- but he did not retract the substance of the comment.) The fact that Sprigg is so intolerant of gays is crucial to interpreting his comments on gay rights -- but neither CNN nor the Post offered a hint of the extremity of Sprigg's views.
That's nothing new at the Post, which has previously gone so far as to give Sprigg an unmoderated online Q&A session with its readers. And CNN has frequently hosted Sprigg and quoted him in news reports, presenting him to its audience as an expert on everything from parenting to (completely fictitious) attempts to prevent the celebration of Christmas to military readiness. (Dan Savage has previously criticized CNN for providing a forum for gay-bashers.)
It's hard to imagine CNN or the Washington Post treating, say, David Duke this way. And yet they frequently feature Peter Sprigg as though he's a legitimate, mainstream figure -- and they do so while withholding from their audience information that would make clear that he is not.
The obvious implication of all this is that CNN and the Washington Post are far more comfortable with homophobia than they are with racism or anti-Semitism. I just wish they'd come out and say it.
Family Research Council president Tony Perkins recently suggested that gay youths who committed suicide after being bullied were actually responding to their "despair" after being told by gay-rights groups that "they are 'born gay' and can never change." The FRC has long sought to minimize anti-gay bullying and attacked those who seek to stop it.
Earlier this month, I noted the massive ideological disparity in WashingtonPost.com online Q&As over the previous three months -- the Post hosted nine conservatives and only two liberals during that time.
On Friday, the Post added another conservative to the list -- Family Research Council senior fellow Peter Sprigg, who discussed his opposition to President Obama's extension of hospital visitation rights to same-sex partners. The Post also hosted a Q&A with a Human Rights Campaign staffer who supported the decision, an all-too-rare attempt at balance from the Post.
But the Post's decision to host Sprigg is alarming nonetheless. See, Peter Sprigg says "gay behavior" should be outlawed. And Sprigg has said "I would much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them into the United States because we believe that homosexuality is destructive to society."
It seems safe to assume the Washington Post would not provide a forum to someone who says the practice of Judaism should be outlawed, or that he would prefer to "export blacks from the United States." So why does the Post host anti-gay bigot Peter Sprigg?

Six reality checks to ensure a successful IT deployment
A lot can go wrong in an IT deployment. But by taking these six gut checks, the potential for failure can be reduced.
What can finance do to ensure an IT deployment's success?

All IT projects are business projects -- that is to say, projects that should deliver defined value to the organization. Regardless whether the technology is on-premises, hosted, cloud or a blend thereof, it is a well-known fact that a stubbornly high proportion of enterprise IT projects fall short of their initial expectations.
Here are a few reality checks that might be helpful in increasing the probability that an IT deployment will hit the mark.
Reality Check #1: Unity is strength
Finance and IT have a number of mutually interdependent accountabilities across a range of factors such as IT cost, governance and enterprise risk. Instances where finance and IT have closely coupled strategic and tactical plans, combined with their respective enterprise-wide perspectives across the organization, make for a powerful combination in realizing the value of IT projects across the organization.
- Takeaway: IT and finance should put aside any differences and focus on developing an aligned, cohesive approach to IT strategy and business projects which have a technology dependency.
Reality check #2: IT is easy -- people are hard
The hardest to manage and most complex variable in any enterprise IT project is the business re-engineering required to guarantee the project delivers. Ensuring that the best business resources are appropriately allocated to the IT project when and where they are needed is a source of constant tension.
- Takeaway: Your IT vendor or IT department (or both) should not be expected to unilaterally implement a system and assume it will meet the organization's expectations. The opportunity cost of not having key resources appropriately allocated might just cost you the project.
Reality check #3: Keep your HIPPOs under control
The unintentional distraction and destruction wrought by an out-of-control HIPPO, or Highest Paid Person's Opinion, can in turn wreak havoc on an IT deployment. The most prominent person on a project is a target for a constellation of stakeholders attempting to influence his or her decisions in a way that might be in that stakeholder's best short-term interest, and not those of the organization. Examples include a vendor primarily concerned with their revenues or managers keen to steer IT enterprise projects toward outcomes that might help them rise through the ranks. Allowing HIPPOs to dominate major projects could be the projects' undoing.
- Takeaway: Your IT project governance processes should embody rigor but not rigor mortis. Agility is key. Welcome input from your HIPPOs, however, sets the expectation that their input will not bypass the review and assessment process.
Reality check #4: Know what problem you're trying to solve
Enterprise IT projects are a complex mix of underlying technological sophistication (even if abstracted away by outsourcing or the cloud), the organization's capability to change, risk, and potential value -- all immersed in a sea of opinion of when, where and how technologies can help the organization.
- Takeaway: Gain clarity on the exact business problem being solved, as well as its scope. This should not depend on just one person's perspective. Broad consensus and stress testing assumptions on the basis of evidence, wherever possible, is crucial.
Reality check #5: Don't drink the vendor's Kool-Aid
You cannot deliver high value enterprise IT without some support from the IT vendor in one form or another. This can range from simply purchasing an applications suite and running it internally, to complete outsourcing. If your IT deployment is critical for your business, vendor promises and assurances need to be rigorously tested. Given that most enterprise IT projects are unique, the assumption that "because it's worked well there, it'll work here" needs to be tested.
Regardless of which IT procurement model you use, recognize that a conventional approach to managing IT vendors might not be adequate in the case of new, emerging and/or disruptive business technology. The sugar hit of apparent short-term success could set the stage for subsequent failure.
- Takeaway: Upgrade your IT vendor management strategies to suit your future requirements.
Reality check #6: Don't underestimate the influence of Pavlov's Dog
Humans are, for the most part, driven by incentives, and financial incentives rank highly for most business leaders. In his famous canine experiment, Pavlov showed that conditioned responses are easily elicited when subjects are presented with an incentive.
- Takeaway: If your enterprise IT deployment requires any effort on the part of the business, the allocation of resources and time from line-of-business executives and their departmental staff will be influenced by their incentive schemes. These should be adjusted to reflect their share of accountability in the project's success.
The bottom line is that striving to achieve the full value of enterprise IT projects is not solely the responsibility of IT and finance. Just like a good meal, the organization needs to digest its own food to get the benefit. Finance and IT can be the chef and waiter, but the meal is for the entire organization's benefit.

Penguin Playing With an iPad Proves Penguins Are the Best [Video]Devan McGuinness
I am a huge fan of penguins. They are third in line of my most favorite animals on the planet just behind cats and pigs and if I could have a pet penguin (and it would be humane to have them), I would have a handful of them in my house.
I don't really know what it is about them that I love so much. Could be their walk, the way they really seem to love one person and are family-oriented. I mean, it's not like they're super cute or cuddly, but that doesn't seem to take away from their sparkle.
The Aquarium of the Pacific shared a video on their YouTube channel that made me love penguins even more. Apparently, they love to play with iPads and can actually make them work. I had no idea, but I am totally impressed and you will be too.

Nvidia finished off its fiscal fourth quarter ended January 30, 2011 with a bang and announced net income of $171.7 million, which is more than double from one quarter ago when team green collected $84.9 million. Nvidia posted strong numbers all around, including a 5 percent increase in quarterly revenue, and feels confident about its future with its Tegra platform leading the mobile charge.
"These strong results underscore the larger story of Nvidia's transformation," said Jen-Hsun Huang, Nvidia president and chief executive officer. "Even as we are extending our leadership in visual computing, our investment in mobile computing and parallel computing is now driving our growth.
"Tegra is positioned center stage in the revolution in superphones and tablets, while Tesla is becoming an essential processor for supercomputing. I have never been more excited about Nvidia's prospects."
Nvidia recently released its Tegra roadmap, saying its next generation Tegra chip -- Kal El -- has already begun shipping to partners. Kal El purportedly offers 5x more performance than Tegra 2 and can handle HD content on large resolution screens. By 2014, Nvidia plans to ramp up its Tegra architecture to nearly 75x the performance of Tegra 2.

China should exact a "heavy price" from North Korea if an imminent nuclear test goes ahead, state-run media said yesterday in their strongest call yet, but analysts say Beijing appears unable to restrain its wayward ally.
The state-run Global Times raised the prospect that the relationship founded on the battlefields of the 1950-53 Korean War, and which Pyongyang has relied on ever since, "might break down" over the issue.

Don't let your visitors
pass the buck
We've all heard of cases where someone's lying sick on the sidewalk, and hundreds of people just walk by without offering help. What's going on here? And how can this possibly apply to web design?
What's going on is "Diffusion of Responsibility". We see the person on the sidewalk, but figure either:
- "Nobody else seems alarmed, so it can't be that serious", or
- "Boy, that guy seems sick. Luckily there are lots of people around. Someone more qualified than me will help him"
And we keep walking.
Now, if there were nobody else around, the situation would be different. We'd be forced to evaluate the situation ourselves rather than rely on the reaction of others. And there'd be nobody else to pass the responsibility on to. We'd act.
Diabolical as it sounds, we can take advantage of "Diffusion of Responsibility" when selling things online. The trick is to ensure visitors understand it is their responsibility to act, not someone else's. For example:
- If you're selling alarm systems, consider messaging to the effect that it's the father's responsibility to protect his family.
- If you're trying to convince parents to get their kids a vaccinated, place the responsibility squarely on one parent, e.g. "It's every mother's responsibility to make sure their child is vaccinated."
Obviously, this technique can't be used everywhere. But where it does apply, it's extremely powerful.

exactly what I was getting at. They look silly taking a position against piracy with what they do..
exactly what I was getting at. They look silly taking a position against piracy with what they do..
So if your 3.41 stay there? I'm getting a bit confused with all these loaders and stuff?? can any of them go online yet or no??
I bought a really cheap 2nd PS3 yesterday which is 3.40 do i need to update that also to 3.41, if so how?
actually i'm curious what homebrew people are talking about exactly when they say they want it for homebrew.
And its not so much the position that I find puzzling. I mean, everyone is entitled to hold their own opinion and form their own thoughts. That's all fine and good. Whether they're for or against an issue is inconsequential.
I just can't help but wonder if there's this false sense of safety there, thinking that Homebrew will not be fought against or be more likely accepted. This type of behaviour or approach will only fragment the community and set others off against each other which is really a shame. You would think that you'd want to foster collaboration and harmony but perhaps I'm missing something.
re: the position against piracy these ps3 scene devs take a position against piracy because of legal recourse that is possible.
ex: a shop opens up that copies legit blu-ray games but strips the signing/encryption/whatever and makes mass quantities of game copies. these game copies will only run with a certain firmware or program written just to run the games without signing/encryption/whatever. when the shop gets busted by the fed's, the people whom wrote the only code that allows these copies to be run will be charged as accessories. as without their code, there would be no need for a copy shop. this of course based on u.s. law, i am unfamiliar with international law.
short version: the devs are covering their butts from legal stuff by saying that they do not condone piracy. and also by not releasing something with the sole purpose of piracy.
Using the same method could we not remove the part of the 3.50 update that blocks the jailbreak? The revoke list if I'm not mistaken? Then it would be a simple matter of updating the offsets and whatnot like was done for every other firmware.
i thought the idea was working towards eliminating the need for the jailbreak or have i missed something?
It would allow a temporary solution.
The KaKaRoToKS CFW can apparently allow 3.41 to be installed over 3.55
Can anyone explain how, cause if you can go back and forth surely you can play your backups on 3.41 and if you want to play online, people are going to have to dip into they're pockets, buy the games and jump upto 3.55 to play them
if possible what reason is there to believe it would be any easier to do or could be done any quicker.

- This is a Double Turning Frame so it had 4 sides to work on. The top picture is Michelle's Graduation Picture on the right side, the left side has a white card stock background and letters made from blue Makin's Clay that had been textured with Makin's Texture Sheets to say Class of 2004.
- The bottom picture has a sheet of Makin's Clay on the right side that was made by rolling white in blue together until it was blended and thin. Then I made the graduation hat from black clay and thin blue clay for the tassel. I rolled out some natural clay extremely thin, then rolled it to form a diploma and glued a piece of blue clay for the band. On the left side is a couple pictures that were taken of Michelle during the graduation and some die-cut letters for the date.

Cierrah Smiles
A Little Bit Stronger - Poem by Cierrah Smiles
I managed it today,
To hold myself up,
To not fall apart and crumble in grief,
My chest ached its never ending pain,
I still felt weak and empty,
But now it was barable,
It was a nightmare you never wake up from,
A heart attack you never die or recover from,
This pain I felt ate me,
From the inside out,
Today though,
I could breath,
I could stumble but not fully walk,
My heart still ached but the hole was recovering,
I cried few tears,
And let someone in,
I made an effort today to be a little bit stronger

Your heart was severly ripped open.It will take a long time to heal but the scar will remain.
And there will be times far into the future those scars will ache and the only soothing relief
you will get is to rub those memories over those scars and the pain will subside for a while. (Report) Reply

This book gave general accounts of sociology through race, sex, religion, social standing, and other ways. This book covered much of what was in my sociology class, and definitely helped me through the exams.read more
This book wasn't entirely objective. There were definitely some parts of it that I thought were developed on an emotional level, which isn't helpful to looking for logical and objective answers to sociological problems.
I'm not sure what would make the book better. It was just a text book.read more
It was helpful with the course. Everything that we needed to know to pass was in this book.
The way it was organized made it easy to understand and grasp the various concepts related to sociology.read more
This author's writing is clear and understandable. Unlike many others that fill it with language that seems dry.
I felt like this book was a bit more difficult to use, mostly because I wasn't too interested in the topic. Once you get used to it and read through chapters because the quizzes then it became more helpful.read more
It was an online class. With quizzes and discussions every week.
I would not change a thing. I really liked this book- I found myself reading it even when I didn't have to for class!read more
I learned a lot of things that related to my every day life. This book did a great job at relating a lot of the subject matter to things the readers could understand.
Talks about our society as well as the societies we aren't that aware of. The most useful thing I learned was about culture shock and innate racism.read more
Nothing, it was very well formatted and educational.
I learned a lot from different cultures and that had to be the most interesting part of the book since I still haven't had the chance to personal visit other countries and meet people from different cultures.read more
It made me see the world from an outside perspective without being judgemental of other peoples habits, religions, ethnicities and cultures.
Intro to sociology was a great class that put practical experiences into technical terms. and made us think about where we each fit into society. We did a chapter a night and had open discussions.read more
This book made me think about things you never really think about in regards to how society is divided and its effects on current and future cultures. How marriage and family issues, politics & economics have the power to change things just as much as gender, race, age and ethnicity can. It taught me to break down all the different subcultures that I fit into and how each one has made changes in my life.
it related the sociological concepts to real world problems. Such as real life stories and reliable sources.read more
I took an online sociology class. We used this book to answer questions online and this book made it really helpful to learn the material on my own.
The online use of this course, and lecture was extremely helpful. It was like having a teacher at home.read more
I personally learned that i enjoyed having an online course rather than an in class lecture. i found i was able to learn more efficiently.
Easy to read and follow along. A good guide throughout the whole class.read more
This was my only sociology book, so I can't truly compare!
Evrything, i absolutely loved this book all the material was easy to find and had a lot of information.read more
I loved this book, the way the author explained the subject was just perfect and opened my understanding over the subject!

McFaddin and Texas Point National Wildlife Refuges
The McFaddin and Texas Point National Wildlife Refuges are located in proximity in southern Jefferson County on the upper Texas coast at Sabine Pass. The refuges have a combined 105.96 square miles (274.4 km2) of fish and wildlife habitat. McFaddin, much the larger one, located at around 29°40′00″N 94°09′00″W / 29.66667°N 94.15000°W, has a total area of 58,861.43 acres (238.20 km²), while the smaller Texas Point, located at around 29°42′00″N 93°53′00″W / 29.70000°N 93.88333°W, has 8,952.02 acres (36.23 km²).[1]
Texas Point and McFaddin refuges supply important feeding and resting habitat for migrating and wintering populations of waterfowl using the Central Flyway. Feeding flocks of snow geese have exceeded 70,000 birds at McFaddin.
Dozens of migratory bird species use habitat on both refuges to feed, rest, nest and raise their young. McFaddin contains one of the densest populations of American alligators in Texas. Alligators are most easily seen during the spring, but are often visible throughout the summer and fall.
Mammal species native to Texas include the muskrat, North American river otter, American mink, raccoon, striped skunk, Virginia opossum, nine-banded armadillo, gray fox and bobcat.
Large portions of both refuges are tidally influenced, creating estuarine environments important to a variety of fish, shrimp and crabs, as well as other life forms higher on the foot chain that feed on such organisms. These estuaries are productive communities and are vital to the life cycle of many marine species. Some of the more commonly sought after fish found in refuge waters include red drum, flounder, alligator gar and blue catfish.

The mentor program works best when led by the student's interest. Often topics, activities and objectives are centered on career feedback and counsel. I expect students to come to meetings with an outline of what they want to discuss and prepared for candid feedback and conversation. Oh, it's also helpful to come with a sense of humor. I will provide support, insight and connections from years of industry experience.
I prefer early in the morning (7:00 a.m.) or after 5:00, near SU if possible.

"We can't put a Band-Aid on the problem," Elsbernd told the board last week. "This is not just about San Francisco now, but about San Francisco 20 years from now. We need to think about the next generation."
Mirkarimi agrees with Elsbernd, at least in terms of the enormity of the problem.
"We cannot be incrementalist. We can't dance around the edges," Mirkarimi told his colleagues, shortly after making the surprise announcement that he's expecting a child in April with Venezuelan soap opera star Eliana López, who he's dated since meeting her last year at a Green Party conference in Brazil. Elsbernd and his wife are also expecting their first child.
Progressives strongly argue that such a large budget deficit can't be closed with spending cuts alone, so one of Peskin's final acts was to create legislation calling a special election for June 2 and having supervisors hold hearings over the next month to choose from a variety of revenue measures, but Newsom and the business community opposed the move.
"Basically, it's not fully baked. It will take a citywide coalition (à la Prop. A) to win something like this and the coalition just hasn't been built yet," Ballard told the Guardian. Even Mirarimi echoed the sentiment, telling the Guardian, "I'm not opposed to a June election, but you can't put something on the June ballot that's half-baked because I doubt we could win in November if we put something half-baked on in June. My preference is that we work harder to create alliances to assure a healthy chance of getting something on the ballot and delivering a victory."
Yet many progressives and labor leaders say it's important to bring in new revenue as soon as possible, particularly because the cuts required by the current budget deficit would slash about half the city's discretionary spending and devastate important initiatives like offering health coverage to all San Franciscans.
"For Healthy San Francisco to survive, the Department of Public Health has to have a minimum level of funding," said Robert Haaland, a labor representative with the public employee union SEIU Local 1021. "Given the cuts that have been proposed, it's not going to survive."
While Peskin was criticized for acting prematurely, the City Attorney's Office memo indicated that he couldn't have waited and still allowed supervisors to play the lead role in determining what ended up on the June ballot. The memo was requested by Daly.
"In response to your specific inquiry about maximizing the amount of time a committee could deliberate the underlying measures and ensuring that the Board would have enough time to override a Mayoral veto, the emergency ordinance and the resolution calling for the special election should be introduced today," the City Attorney's Office wrote Jan. 6, the day Peskin introduced his revenue package.
Even then, supervisors would need to vote to waive certain election procedures, such as the 30-day hold for proposed ballot measures, and to move expeditiously forward with hearings, selection of the tax measures, and preparation of findings related to the special election and declaration of fiscal emergency.
The City Attorney's Office wrote that the package needs final approval by Feb. 17. "We recommend that to meet this deadline, the Board adopt the resolution at its January 27 meeting and that the Mayor sign the resolution no earlier than February 2," they wrote.

A practical framework for change - head, hearts, hands & feet
Is there a compelling reason for change - merely a good reason for change is not enough? The term "burning platform" comes to mind. By not changing you must be exposing your enterprise to a major threat or walking away from a major opportunity.
There must be a sound economic reason for change which can be succinctly and clearly articulated and accepted by the leaders of the enterprise.
Heart is all about the "appetite" for change in the key leaders. I have seen so many change initiatives with great HEAD flounder because the key leaders did not want it enough or thought that a compelling reason was somehow enough. Unlike HEAD, HEART is an on-going challenge - you need to establish it in the first place and then keep it alive until the change is truly bedded in.
So how you establish it? The first step is through frank 1:1 conversations to establish the individual appetite of the key leaders. This needs to be done sensitively as the objective is not to sign them all up but to find out where they really are!
3. HANDS and FEET
If you have the HEAD and the HEART then you need the How and the Who This is where the HANDS and FEET come in. HANDs concerns how the change will be brought about. In a nutshell HANDS is about the plan for the new processes, systems, incentives, practices, success measures and required behavior changes. Does the plan or proposed plan cover all the bases? Is the work already done an adequate basis for change or will it need reworked or binned?
Finally the FEET, or HEELS if you simply must have alliteration, represents the feet on the ground to project manage the change. I have never yet seen a change successfully delivered without a competent project manager working to a public and serious deadline the achievement of which is linked to their personal performance review/remuneration and with adequate personal time and access to additional resources as required to make it happen.
So to ensure you don't forget the whole point of change management as you wade through the detail just remember your own body and your 4 vital organs/limbs - HEAD, HEART, HANDS and FEET!

Athletes often look for an alternative power to increase their performance. Nutritional supplements are one of millions of euros business offering, in some cases, advantages and disadvantages in other cases. Although the team's Healthy Eating TODAY is no apologist for the use of nutritional supplements at the expense of a healthy and balanced diet, we believe it is important for a better public understanding, focusing its existence and the way they are used by athletes make use of them . In some cases, when prescribed by a doctor or registered dietitian to offset nutrient absence for disability reasons, supplements can play a key role in maintaining health. When used unconsciously and by reasons other than the maintenance of health, supplements can be harmful strongly >>>>>>> Ripped Muscle X

I've often suspected that I don't really have the stomach for being a politician or even someone who could be a Washington insider or pundit who lives and breathes politics.
My reaction to this week's press conference by Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth confirmed it.
Make no mistake about it: I wouldn't vote for John Edwards if I were forced to do so at gunpoint. Well, maybe I would if my life was threatened, but I'd at least try to get the vote cancelled after I gained my freedom.
But watching Edwards and his wife face a throng of reporters and photographers and a nosy, inquiring nation and have to confirm any couple's worst nightmare that a recurrence of cancer had occurred just broke my heart.
I understand that he's a presidential candidate. I realize that this announcement is newsworthy. But I wonder how many of us are able to put ourselves in John or Elizabeth Edwards' shoes and even begin to feel what it must be like to be unable to deal with this enormous grief, anguish, fear, and uncertainty in private?
I don't like his politics and certainly hope he doesn't win in 2008. But I couldn't help but have tremendous admiration for the sheer courage it must take to face a bunch of reporters with your cancer-stricken wife by your side and face this potentially horrible future in such a public way. And what bravery it took for Elizabeth Edwards, looking gaunt and obviously still feeling the pain of the biopsy, having to smile and talk optimistically about something that we all know will be at the very least an enormously challenging, painful road ahead.
And then, to suffer through the inevitable post-announcement analysis was practically more than anyone should have to bear. Again, I know that presidential politics is mighty important. But to any of us who have had loved ones fight a deadly disease, there really isn't anything else in the world as important as being with our wife or husband or mother or father or sister or brother or son or daughter as they fight for their lives.
Hearing Rep. Jack Murtha have the gall to compare the Iraq war, of which he is a fierce critic, to Elizabeth Edwards' cancer battle as he railed on the floor of the House, was pretty nauseating. Typical Murtha. Exploit anything he can to score points against the war.

I need a jar of this at all times. I have long 2b curls and they get frizzy if I am not careful. As curly girls know, you need a routine. Leave-in, Gel, and then this is my finisher. If I accidentally put too much gel in, this will break up the crunchiness - but I use it every day because it always adds glossy shine and just that extra touch of finish and definition to my curls after I air dry them. Looks like jello in a jar and it lasts FOREVER because you use just the tiniest bit. A miracle.

I finally figured out how to make this work for me!!!
I've been using and loving Aveda's Brilliant Shampoo & Conditioner. However, I've been having a hard time figuring out how to use their styling products - namely the Brilliant Universal Styling Creme & this product - the Brilliant Humectant Pomade. I recently figured out the Styling Creme and dug out the Pomade to see if I could make it work for me and it does. :-) I think the trick is that Aveda products are very high quality and you only need to use a *tiny* bit. I've never experienced that because my hair tends to eat up hair products by the bottle. Any time a hair product says to apply a "dime size amount" I laugh and apply a palmful because a dime would disappear before even covering my ends. :-/ But with Aveda, if it says to use a pea size or dime size amount - do it. It will work like it says.
My hair is baby fine, curly, and tends to be dry even though I hardly ever heat style and don't use any chemical processes or dyes.
When I first used this product it made my hair feel waxy and then dry. I didn't know why so I put it away. Now I've figured out that it's just extremely heavy by itself. So I use it mixed with a drop at a time of coconut oil. Here's what I do: Section hair that is 75% or more dry into 4 sections. Apply less than the tip of my fingernail's worth onto my palm followed by a drop of coconut oil and mix together. Smooth through my hair, braid or twist up until dry(I don't like leaving my wet hair out, it gets on my nerves >_< ). Move on to the next section.
My hair is soft and moisturized all day. :-) Plus I A.D.O.R.E. the scent. I initially bought it for the scent alone and didn't even know how to use it. lol But now that I've figured it out, I'll probably be using it daily. Will definitely repurchase.

I have a short pixie cut, baby fine hair but TONS of it, and I like it to look as insanely shiny as humanly possible (cuz there isnt much of it!)
I can't count the compliments I get when I have this in my hair. VERY addictive! Smells like Heaven.
I apply it while my hair is still wet and my hair DOES keep that "I-just-showered" look with this product WITHOUT looking like I have a bunch of "gel" in my hair. At least for the morning. Then (sigh!) it dries out on me. I have to keep going to the restroom to dampen my hair and freshen the style - but then I have to do that with EVERY thing I put in my hair. I crave a product that would stay "wet looking" all day but my search continues....
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Red, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Green
I have long, naturally curly hair and I cannot live without this product - it is the ONLY thing I've found (in probably 20 years of searching), that defines my curls and leaves me with soft, shiny spirals.
It is a very heavy product, so use sparingly - if my hair were very fine or straight, I wouldn't touch this stuff with a 10-ft pole - even on my hair it definitely leaves a slightly "greasy" feeling on my hands if I touch my hair throughout the day (and when I use it I have to shampoo almost daily) - however, it makes works so well that these slight annoyances definitely won't deter me from buying this stuff as long as Aveda makes it!

Not a bad product.
But the line between enough product to be effective, and too much, which will make it oily and lank is very, very thin.
On the odd occasion that I've gotten the quantity right, it has made my curls look glossy and beautiful.
Because it's Aveda, it is very expensive, and the tub in which the product comes is problematic because a) all manner of contaminants (ie. hair) seem to make it into the tub, and b) because it's very difficut to measure the right quantity to use.

I would not buy this again because I think I was directed to the wrong product by my one-time stylist. He should have directed me to the anti-humectant pomade since we live in a town with 95%+ humidity year round. However, he recommended this. I have been using it to add weight and shine to my hair when I straighten it (I have naturally wavy tresses that are hard to control) but now that I see it's use for wavy and course hair I think I'll try it like that to see if I like it for that purpose as well. Overall, I love the scent, packaging and texture and would recommend it. It's not pure love for me on this one (that would be The Body Shop's Coconut Hair Shine) but then again, I have been using it in a way contrary to its intended use! Thanks careless stylist guy!

I had to check the label on my jar to make sure I was using the product that was getting such rave reviews here. It is a clear, thick gel in a blue jar that I find to be very sticky. I've tried to use it on my ends and flyaways, and well, it works like a very weak, diluted gel might. My hair is really coarse, thick, and wiry, and I am not afraid of stuff that "weighs hair down," but the stickiness of this clumps hair in an unflattering way and kills any natural movement. I've found many other ones, such as the Artec pomade, to be far superior - there are options out there that impart light control without stickiness and lack of movement.
This is probably one of the more disappointing styling products I've tried, and this is the most negative review I've ever written. The only merit I see is that Aveda is an environmentally sound company that uses quality natural ingredients. Still, I feel like I wasted $23 on this.

My Holy Grail. Offers great shine and softness as a finishing product on my thick curly hair (African American). I co-wash daily and I usually apply a small bit when I need extra shine/moisture. I will always have this product in rotation, despite the cost. And the smell...simply divine!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I love this product - it is the only thing that has tamed my long straight but fine hair from the evils of rain and humidity. The one down side is you only use a very very little amount as it is heavy and will look oily if you use too much (particularly on fine hair) however the flip side to that is you are using such a small amount it lasts literally forever (okay maybe not literally but a phenomonally long time).
I use a tiny bit, rub it on my palms and then start to distribute underneath the hair and then move to on top. I have tried other Aveda products for control, the hang straight is pretty good, I don't get much out of the newish smoothing product - but I rave about this. I'm in Australian so very $$ to buy retail - but a bargain off Strawberrynet.

A once a year must have! I make an annual purchase of this stuff to define pieces of hair, control fly aways and add shine. It also works excellently as a brow tamer.

You don't mention why you think the second guy could be the father, other than having protected sex with him.

c&p of original post
Hello, ive been driving myself crazy with guilt and doubt. My last menstrual cycle was May 18, 2013 on may 29th and june 3rd I had completely UNPROTECTED sex on june 5th I had PROTECTED sex with a condom with a different person. I am currently 36 weeks and 3 days due on Feb 22 2014. Based on feedback from drs I conceived around the first of june.In your opinion would you agree it was highly likely I conceived by the first guy not the second. Please any input would be greatly appreciated

Probably the unprotected sex, but condoms can fail. The only way to know for sure is a paternity test. I know you're looking for info to ease your mind, but that's all you can do. Sperm can live for up to a week I believe.

Details are sketchy right now, but officials say most of the suspicious activity occurred between 11 last night and three this morning.
According to police they received a call of a sexual assault at Fitzgerald's around two this morning.
There was also a large fight at the intersection of 4th and Virginia Street.
Reportedly one man was armed with a handgun and several arrests were made.
There was another report of a fight.
This one at the Bubinga Lounge in the El Dorado, which allegedly had to be broken up by police.
And finally, there were two separate armed robberies.
One just outside the Sands and the other in another downtown location and that victim was knocked in the head unconscious.
