Sony Hackers: Pirates or Thieves, CEO Bristles
By Yoree Koh and Daisuke Wakabayashi
A hacker is a hacker is a hacker – or is he/she?
Determining what a hacker is – friend, foe or the gooey gray stuff in between – has been a troubling problem for tech companies. And now as onlookers pick apart Sony Corp.'s dilatory handling of the elephantine security breach of its PlayStation Network, the company's prickly relationship with hackers is also being thrust under the microscope.
Slapping intruders with lawsuits, Sony has dealt a motley band of hackers harshly in the past, an aggressive tactic that raised speculation that the electronics conglomerate perhaps invited recalcitrants to hone their skills on the company, as per the hack that decommissioned the PlayStation network. Will the Japanese company consider trying a different approach with hackers in future?
"We look at a lot of options. When is a white-hat hacker a white hat? When is a pirate not a pirate? When is a pirate a thief?" said Sony chief executive Howard Stringer in an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday morning, Japan time. "We're looking at all these options but a lot of it threatens us directly, we have to be engaged. We're open-minded to the solution."
A hacker is a mélange of things, an image that tends to shift depending on what side of the fruits of their computer prowess you fall. For some, an insatiable learner, a curious self-starter, a persnickety cyber detective and, in turn, at times a detail-oriented problem solver.
On the flipside some might be deemed a migraine in varying forms of an indiscriminate troublemaker or self-serving attacker. In Sony's case, it's been a headache that just keeps throbbing.
Sony stirred the hacker community when it sued 21-year-old hacking prodigy George Hotz in January. Mr. Hotz unlocked the PlayStation 3 console and publicized the steps on how to disable the security system online. The two parties reached a settlement in April in which the computer hacker denied any wrongdoing but agreed to remove the PS hacking information.
Sony's legal actions enraged Anonymous, the loosely-organized hacker group behind the PayPal hacking incident in December. In response, the group said it would exact retribution. A string of denial-of-service attacks followed, but Anonymous has denied playing a role in the most recent security breach.
But even if Sony reconsiders the role of hackers post-PlayStation intrusion — even as plenty of blame has been pitched onto the company — to some of the 77 million frustrated videogame customers, patience for the gifted but wayward breed has evaporated: a hacker is a hacker, is an attacker.
"I think the reaction of our subscribers effectively says it all. They are now angry at whoever hacked," said Mr. Stringer, who said the company has received countless calls from PlayStation subscribers incensed at the intruders.
"There is the sense that they've (the hackers) stolen something valuable from them and nobody is saying that's a wonderful idea. (Activist) idealism, if there is any in this hacking world, evaporates in the face or something so genial as getting your child to play Little Big Planet," he said referring to a popular user-generated PlayStation game.

Mansa Musa
|Musa I of Mali
|Musa depicted holding a gold nugget from the 1375 Catalan Atlas.
|1312 - 1337
|c. 1280
|c. 1334
|Emperor of the Malian Empire
Mansa Musa (about 1280 – about 1337) was an emperor (mansa) of the Mali Empire during the 14th century. He became emperor in 1307. He was the first African ruler to be widely known throughout Europe and the Middle East.
Mansa Musa was the great nephew of Sundiata Keita, who was founder of the empire. He is famous for his Hajj (1324–5). His caravan was said to consist of 60,000 people carrying supplies and bags, 500 slaves each carrying a gold staff, and 80 to 100 camels each carrying 300 pounds of gold dust. On his journey, he is said to have given out millions of dollars worth of gold. He gave out so much gold in Cairo that the value stayed relatively low for many years.
Mansa Musa also helped to spread Islam. He was a devoted Muslim, and built many schools based on the teachings of the Qur'an, there also is a saying that every Friday when he stopped, while on his Hajj, he ordered a Mosque to be built, because that is a Muslim holy day. He sent students to Islamic universities in northern Africa was fames sens 1344
Mansa Musa helped to structure the government during his time as a king. During his reign there was political stability.
After his Hajj, European cartographers began to draw Mansa Musa on maps. As the empire of Mali fell apart Mansa Musa's reputation did as well; he was no longer drawn as a noble king on maps, but instead more uncivilized. He was drawn as a parody of European royalty, a naked savage with a crown.

Bill gives county more investment options
Money comes from sale of hospital in Lowndes County
Lowndes County will have more flexibility to invest funds from the sale of a local hospital under a bill signed by Gov. Phil Bryant.
The Commercial Dispatch reported that the county had invested the $30 million it received from the 2001 sale of the county hospital in a certificate of deposit. The 5.2 percent interest the county initially drew from the money dwindled to 0.19 percent before the passage of Senate Bill 2702.
Board of Supervisors president Harry Sanders said the bill will allow the county to invest the money to get a higher return.
Sanders said the money could be used for school bonds, county bonds and federal bonds but the county had to get special legislation to do that.

Agricultural Research Service
These notes were developed from presentations at an Airborne Remote Sensing Workshop conducted at the National Soil Tilth Laboratory, Ames, IA on November 25-26, 2002. The original presentation was oriented towards users and suppliers of data from a commercially-available small, lightweight, hyperspectral, pushbroom scanner known as the Airborne Imaging Spectroradiometer for Applications (AISA). However the suggestions for first-time data users will apply to imagery acquired by any airborne imaging system.
The goal is to provide users and providers of airborne digital imagery with a working philosophy about such data, and some suggestions on how to proceed when a new user is handed a data set for the first time. If you are a first time data user, have a data set, have questions about what to do with a data set first, and need immediate guidance, go directly to section IV. If you have not yet acquired imagery and would like more insight to the process begin with the section on Choice of Spectral Bands.
This presentation assumes that the user has working knowledge of the basic elements of an image processing package such as the following commercially-available systems:

Past Presidents
The George Washington University has had 16 presidents since its founding. An understanding of their individual accomplishments and of the events that surrounded each of their tenures provides a "snapshot" of GW's growth and evolution.
Rev. William Staughton, 1821-1827
In 1821, in order to assume the presidency of Columbian College, the Rev. William Staughton resigned as pastor of the Samson Street Baptist Church in Philadelphia and, at the request of the board of trustees, familiarized himself with European educational methods. His tenure as president saw the founding of the law school, the departments of classics, medicine and theology and a preparatory school. Guests at the first Columbian College commencement, held in 1824, included President James Monroe, members of his cabinet, members of the Senate, House and U.S. Supreme Court and the Marquis de Lafayette. Columbian College was then located on College Hill, a tract of land bordering Florida Avenue and 14th and 15th Streets.
Stephen Chapin, 1828-1841
Stephen Chapin, formerly a professor of theology at Waterville College (now Colby College) in Maine, arrived at Columbian College in 1828 to begin 13 years of ceaseless struggle—most of it financial rather than intellectual. Under his administration, the first Master of Arts degrees were awarded. An Act of Congress conferred on the school a federal grant of $25,000 in city lots. At the end of Chapin's tenure, Columbian College was free of debt.
Joel Smith Bacon, 1843-1854
Joel Smith Bacon came to Columbian College from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. He oversaw the transition as the Columbian's Department of Medicine moved to the old jail in Judiciary Square and became the National Medical College, one of the nation's first teaching hospitals. Other innovations under his leadership included a program in natural science leading to the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, the college's first alumni association and the awarding of the first Doctor of Laws degree.
Joseph Getchell Binney, 1855-1858
Joseph Binney's experience as a missionary in India, where he founded a seminary for the training of ministers, resulted in a brief presidency at Columbian College. In 1855, Columbian College awarded the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts and Bachelor of Philosophy. German was also added to the curriculum during Binney's tenure. He resigned in 1858 to begin missionary work in Burma but died during the voyage and had a sea burial in the Indian Ocean.
Rev. George Whitefield Samson, 1859-1871
The Rev. George Whitefield Samson, formerly pastor of the E Street Baptist Church, had the difficult task of guiding Columbian College through the Civil War. In 1861, many students left, many to return to their homes in the South. College exercises were continued for the few remaining students. Under an executive order from President Abraham Lincoln, the government occupied the campus for war-related hospital purposes. By 1867, Samson had overseen the restoration of the school to its former status, and 419 students were in residence. The Medical College now shared the College of Law Building on 5th Street, while a new building donated by W. W. Corcoran made it possible to introduce an "Advanced Course" for a Master of Arts degree.
James Clarke Welling, 1871-1894
James Clarke Welling, previously a president of St. John's College in Maryland and former holder of the Chair of Belles Lettres at Princeton University, was the first layman to lead the college. During his distinguished tenure at Columbian College, which became Columbian University following an Act of Congress in 1873, the school relocated from the outskirts of Washington to a midtown location. All its departments were moved to new buildings at 15th and H Streets. The board of trustees became a self-perpetuating body, the National College of Pharmacy was chartered, the Medical School became a three-year program, the Dental School was established, the National Veterinary College was organized and the Corcoran Scientific School was established. In 1888, the first female students entered Columbian University. In 1892, the School of Graduate Studies was created.
Benaiah L. Whitman, 1895-1900
Formerly the president of Colby College in Maine, Benaiah Whitman led an administration that established the University Extension Program, added library science to the curriculum, erected a new law school building and began nurses training at the university's new hospital. The hospital's female superintendent was also the first woman to appear on the official faculty list. President William McKinley and his cabinet attended the opening of the School of Comparative Jurisprudence and Diplomacy.
Charles Willis Needham, 1902-1910
The presidency of Charles Willis Needham, a Baptist layman and former dean of the law school, sat at the helm of the university at a time of lasting accomplishments. In 1904, Congress authorized a change in the name of the school from Columbian University to The George Washington University. (The school's new seal and flag were displayed in 1905 at the first convocation following the change.) A new charter allowed the university to organize colleges. Thus, the National College of Pharmacy, the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Engineering and Mechanical Arts became part of the university. The expansion of schools and courses, combined with the costs of construction and maintenance, created a heavy economic burden for the university.
Charles Herbert Stockton, 1910-1918
President Charles Stockton provided the guidance needed to weather the financial stress. He reorganized the university in 1911 to reduce expenditures and he sold property to increase revenue. Through his urging, the Department of Arts and Sciences was moved in 1912 to 2023 G Street, the area that George Washington had selected as the site for "his" university. Foggy Bottom was established as the new central location.
Stockton had served as dean of the law school and as acting president before his appointment to the presidency. But his most significant qualification for guiding the university during World War I was his status as a retired rear admiral. As the United States drew toward full involvement in the conflict, Stockton placed the university at the government's disposal.
William Miller Collier, 1918-1921
Formerly U.S. minister to Spain, William Collier assumed the presidency when the United States was at the height of its involvement in World War I. In practical and symbolic ways, the school became part of the war effort. A unit of the Student Army Training Corps and a U.S. naval unit were established "for the duration." In 1918, at a special convocation, the university first bestowed an honorary degree upon a foreign leader, Albert, king of Belgium. In 1921, having presided over the centennial celebration of the university, Collier resigned when President Warren G. Harding nominated him for an ambassadorship.
William Mather Lewis, 1923-1927
William Lewis, who made the transition from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to The George Washington University, was known as a brilliant speaker, in demand by groups throughout the nation. During his presidency, a gymnasium was erected and the alumni elected Mrs. Joshua Evans Jr. as the first female on the board of trustees. After leaving the university, Lewis assumed the presidency of Lafayette College in Pennsylvania.
Cloyd Heck Marvin, 1927-1959
The 32 years of Cloyd Marvin's presidency was the longest in GW history. By the 1930s, the university was well established in the Foggy Bottom area. Advanced degrees in professional fields became the responsibility of the professional schools. The Graduate Council was given the supervision of all work leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and an autonomous Junior College was established to administer the work of freshman and sophomores. Marvin reorganized the university administration and, with the assistance of the board of trustees, strengthened its financial structure. The School of Government was established. In 1950, the College of General Studies was founded to provide courses for special groups on and off campus.
Marvin's vast building program included the construction of a medical laboratory building, Lisner Library, the Hall of Government, Lisner Auditorium, Tompkins Hall of Engineering, the University Hospital, James Monroe Hall, Warwick Memorial Building, Samson Hall and the Student Union. The grounds were landscaped with roses, which continue to grace the campus.
Thomas Henry Carroll, 1961-1964
Thomas Carroll served as vice president of the Ford Foundation before assuming the presidency of the university. Before his sudden death in 1964, he oversaw the beginning of work on the new wing of the University Hospital and the university's participation in a new consortium of local universities. The consortium made the facilities of each member school available to graduate students attending the others.
Lloyd Hartman Elliott, 1965-1988
Lloyd Elliott's 23 years at the university brought financial stability and continued growth through academic development and building programs. His proudest achievement was the building of the three libraries: the Melvin Gelman Library, the Jacob Burns Law Library and the Paul Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library. In addition, the Academic Center, (comprised of Smith, Rome and Phillips halls), Funger Hall and the National Law Center's Theodore N. Lerner Hall were completed. The Charles E. Smith Center was put in use in 1970, the same year that Elliott opened the Cloyd Heck Marvin Student Center, a high priority because of the great need for additional space for student activities.
In 1973, GW's medical training program was moved from downtown to the Walter G. Ross Hall. With the relocation of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the university was for the first time centralized in one area. Elliott launched the Educational Opportunity Program and created the faculty rank of "university professor." He increased the number of endowed professorships to 20, from three. He is also credited with the tremendous growth in the university's endowment—to $200 million in 1988 from $8 million in 1965. Following Elliott's retirement in 1998, GW's School of International Affairs was rededicated as the Evelyn E. and Lloyd H. Elliott School of International Affairs.
Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, 1988-2007
Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, president emeritus and university professor of public service, served as GW's 15th president. He came to GW after serving as a vice president and academic dean at Boston University and as president of the University of Hartford. He is a widely published author of books and articles on higher education and leadership. He has served in numerous bodies involved in higher education, foreign affairs and governance, and he has been the recipient of many awards, honorary degrees and accolades.
Trachtenberg's years were marked by an unmatched growth in GW's profile and prestige. He helped define the main campus in Foggy Bottom as a discrete unit within the city, while leading efforts to organize the GW medical center, acquire the Mount Vernon and Ashburn, Va., campuses and nurture school spirit and traditions. GW opened or renovated nearly a dozen buildings during his tenure, among them the Media and Public Affairs Building and Duquès Hall, home to the School of Business. Trachtenberg also brought aesthetic improvements to campus, including the Mid-Campus Quad and Kogan Plaza, as well as campus icons such as the GW hippo, the Professors Gate and the Tempietto. The Stephen Joel Trachtenberg Scholars program started by the university in 1989 has provided more than 85 academically talented D.C. Public High School seniors with full four-year scholarships covering tuition, room and board, books and fees.

Dartmouth, MA (March 12, 2014) -- UMass Dartmouth's Center for Women, Gender & Sexuality (CWGS) invites the university community and general public to a Consciousness Raising Workshop with Janet Freedman, Thursday, March 13, at 3:00 p.m., at CWGS. Consciousness Raising is a form of political activism that attempts to focus the attention of a broad audience on a particular cause, issue area, or condition.
"I will explore how such groups differ or offer continuity with the structure and function of consciousness raising, and consider if it might be useful to revive the consciousness raising process as a way to revitalize a critical, activist feminist movement," said Janet Freedman, a former Dean of Library Services and Professor of Education at UMass Dartmouth.
Janet Freedman also served as chair of the university's Department of Education, director of the Women's Studies Program and co-director of the university's Center for Jewish Culture. Her interest in exploring the influence of consciousness raising grows from her own efforts to implement the goal of that process and to link personal experience to meaningful professional and social action.
Originally founded in 1970 as the Women's Center, CWGS is a voice for women and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered community, with the purpose of eliminating barriers, diminishing prejudices, and creating a supportive climate and space for all. The center is located in the UMass Dartmouth Campus Center, Suite 207. You can follow CWGS on Facebook and Twitter.

Men's Rights Redditor: "(Most) women don't love men." (Also, it's only respectful for dudes to hang onto nude pics of an ex-girlfriend.)
Over on the Men's Rights subreddit, some of the fellas are discussing a recent post from Arthur Goldwag on the Southern Poverty Law Center Hatewatch blog. Goldwag looks at some of the hero-bashing comments from MRAs in the wake of the Aurora shootings, which we've discussed here and here.
This somehow inspires the prolix Men's Right Redditor Demonspawn to set forth some of his opinions about (most) women and how shitty they are. The whole discussion is worth reading, as a sort of case study in MRA hypocrisy: all this woman-hatred comes in a thread in which Reddit MRAs wax indignant once again that anyone might possibly label them hateful. (Also, how dare women suggest that there's anything untoward about a dude hanging onto nude pics of an ex, when clearly not deleting them is a sign of "respect.")
Looks like Demonspawn won himself a convert! Congrats. you beautiful douchebag.

"David Futrelle is….(fill in the blank)."
Pathetic Earthings, the plot is much simpler that that. David Futrelle is a cut-out for his cats. It's the cats who are sowing all this confusion, and it's the cats who are going to take over the world. You heard it here first.
David Futrelle is Bane.
Think about it. You never did see what he looked like under that mask.
The "success object" nonsense is awesome.
Feminism: Often times society doesn't recognize women as individual human beings with ideas and emotions. Instead women are seen as objects to be used to make penises happy.
MRAs: Oh yeah, well sometimes the penis pleasing devices won't make our penises happy (like they're supposed to) if we don't have a lot of money. SAME THING. Check mate, feminism.

@hellkell Actually, I do know what's in the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. It was in an earlier version of the script, IIRC.
David Futrelle is Keyser Soze
If I 'repsected' her I'd consider her capable of considering the potential of us breaking up when she allowed those pictures. I'm keeping them because I'm holding her responsible for her decision.
Keeping them to "hold her responsible" screams "I'll release them to the internet" to me.
Which is why I generally won't let dudes take nudie pics of me. I'll allow only specific pictures that in no way can identify me, but it's limited to a few pictures…if I even agree to it in the first place, which mostly I don't. Up close picture of my boob? Sure, as long as my face is nowhere in the picture, because my tit will get lost in the myriad of breasts on the internet. (I know other people would be mortified, but if a guy identifies me by my boobs/vulva, I'd probably die laughing. It's like I could look at a random penis and go, "Oh, hey, I know that guy!")
Basically this guy is saying "Yeah, well, my girlfriend trusted me enough to take nudie pictures of her/send nudie pics to me, but she was wrong because I'm more of the bitter asshole type who doesn't care about how she feels." I wonder how he'd feel if women kept refusing nudie pics on the basis of his statement above – I've known guys who were really, really insistent on it (like that will change my "absolutely not") and pouted when they couldn't, which proved to me that I was right in not allowing it. The two guys that I sent nudie pics to were actually understanding of my concern and were perfectly okay if I had said "no", and one actually prefaced his request with something along the lines of "if you're not comfortable with this, I'll understand". Something tells me that he's less than honest with them, and I highly doubt he respected them at all.
When asking for consent includes an implied threat, that's coercion, not a choice (if they asked in the first place). If someone trusts a person enough to send nudie pics to their dating partner, it's the partner's responsibility to recognize that trust and keep private pictures private. Personally, I'm not bothered by guys who hang to my nudie pics with the intention of having personal wank material but I can understand where other people wouldn't be okay with it. Also, if the subject of the pictures does not want him to keep them, the respectful thing to do would be to delete them, but he'd have to respect her in the first place.
Well, I'm glad someone decoded the post, because as far as I was concerned, it contained twenty layers of WTF.
Seriously, do these idiots want people to go around pinching their cheeks and telling them what cutie-wooties they are? I can't imagine that helps when trying to be hired or promoted.
David Futrell is Liam Kincaid, a man torn between two worlds.
I am now so relieved I didn't give in to "If you don't send me nude photos of you then I won't speak to you anymore" after reading Demonspawn's post.

Ahhhhhhhhh, sex objects and success objects!
No wonder the divorce rates are so high these days……
The plain truth is that puh-len-ty of men and women do indeed objectify members of the opposite sex. So feminists need to STFU about "sex objects" until the acknowledge "success objects".
The plain truth is that puh-len-ty of men and women do indeed objectify members of the opposite sex. So feminists need to STFU about "sex objects" until the acknowledge "success objects".
"Some people objectify men as sex objects! Thus it logically follows that most women treat men as success objects."
Between this and the Robot Sex Act of 2010, I have to say that you are an intellectual titan, MSN.
David Futrelle pities the fool.
No wonder the divorce rates are so high these days……
The divorce rate is almost the lowest since no fault divorce was legal. It's actually been a steady drop since legalization.
So unless you want to go back to the days before legal no fault divorce, I don't see what you're complaining about.
Google: It's a thing!
I refuse to even consider the term "success object" until you demonstrate that you actually understand what "objectification" means. So far, you've demonstrated the contrary. Educate yourself first, then get back to us. Hint: Start with grammar.
So I dropped the 'y' on 'they in the last sentence. Sosumi!
So who is the authority on defining objectification? For a women who is poor(or at the very least working class) to marry a man to get access to his money, or in some cases her objective is get citizenship(think mail-order brides) and then divorce him most certainly is objectification. She often has no love for him and values him for what he has, rather than who he is. To treat someone as if they're a tool to be used and discarded without any concern for their feelings is objectification. If that definition isn't good enough for you, IDK what is.
Oh won't someone please think of the poor men being victimized and objectified by mail order brides!
I still don't think "success object" is a thing. "Someone who picked me out online and who I will sleep with for a green card" is not really a "success object." There's a difference between an object and a john.
A lot of women are attracted to status, not just money. Successful men are high status and they attract women to them. I used the golddigger as an example of women can and do objectify men. You want another example? I read an article that interviewed 5 women who admitted to cheating and each gave a reason why. One of them, named Jillian Anne explained why cheated as follows:
I felt like it. The bigger question is what made my boyfriends think I wouldn't cheat on them. I'm a very free spirited girl who has trouble keeping her hands to herself. But I try to remember that men have hearts inside their bodies!
She treats men as sex objects, just like (male)"players" do. Sex and the City is making this kind of behavior increasingly popular. Women think that sleeping around with high status men and dumping them right afterwards so they can move on to another *stud* makes them 'liberated'.
What infuriates me is that if you are sexually attracted to someone who is famous and shows off their body via media, someone who you will probably never meet and definitely never get to know personally, then you are somehow "objectifying" them.
A lot of women are attracted to status, not just money.
Attraction is not objectification. Saying someone is "a fine piece of ass," is objectification, because it is discussing someone as if they were an object. When it is common for people to say "That dude is a fien piece of arbitrarily selected social status indicators which would be transferrable to be upon having sex with him," then we'll talk.
I never argued that men aren't treated like sex objects by some women. What I argued was that people do not commonly objectify other peopl in terms of how much success they have.
You keep arguing that because people's bodies are objectified, then their intangible social attributes are also objectified. A does not follow B.
As a side note, have you put any thought into wondering why the MRA sites made up the robot sex issue? How do you feel about a movement that has to invent its grievances?
@Om Nom Nom
A lot of women are attracted to status, not just money.
That's not objectification, as Ugh's explained already, but what do you think men looking for "classy" women are attracted to there? Is that objectification (ANSWER BELOW) ? There's a lot of them.

That example doesn't speak "objectification" to me… It says "I need to try to remember that I might hurt a guy's feelings when I sleep with other men." I doubt you'd get the same "need to keep the other person's feelings in mind more often" from male players… You'd be much more likely to hear "pussy is pussy," which is in fact actual objectification.
She is using men for her sexual gratification(just like many men use women) and discarding them when she's through. Her attitude is that she thinks it's ok to act on her impulses and ultimately doesn't care how her actions affect others. Her last sentence is NOT genuine concern! It is smug sarcasm. If she actually cared about her partners feelings, she'd exert self-control. But she is very direct about the fact the she doesn't, and so she does what she does……….inch by inch, mile by mile, MAN BY MAN.
Some men, and some women, are perfectly happy to have brief purely-sexual relationships. That's not a problem if everyone's going in willingly and not expecting anything the other person isn't wanting to give.
In fact, a lot of the MRM stuff advocates this. Just not for women, because something something something naturally wired something something sluts.
They need to realise that if they want men to have lots of hetero one-night-stands, women will have to as well, right? (No, they don't)
So I know a lot of women, many of whom sleep with lots of guys, and none of them care about the success of the dudes they sleep with. They don't even care a whole lot about the success of long term boyfriends, except when boyfriend is un/underemployed and she's paying for everything. And then they just complain about how he's not looking for work, they don't break up with him.
So basically I think the fact that you think SatC being some influence over women's behavior and causing an epidemic of hypergamy is probably based on you getting all your information about women's behavior from watching SatC.
Either that or the hos in my area code don't watch that shit.
Sorry, Molly, but Sex and the City is actually the most accurate documentary about how all women everywhere behave all the time ever. Only misandrist propagandists disagree.
Sex and the City? Really? Really?!
I love how you take a quote from a a woman who doesn't practice monogamy and insert your own insecurities about "status" in order to try and make a point about objectification.
You really don't know very much about romantic/sexual relationships. In fact, it's kind of hilarious to watch you present your bullshit as some sort of powerful truth telling and expertise.
Gee, and here I've just been wasting my time being attracted to actual men instead of made-up ideas of what a "man ought to be". Thank goodness M. Sans Cervelles has set me straight!
(Not really, though. I don't take dating/relationship advice from idiots.)
I've dated men who had more money than god and guys who are bass players in struggling bands, guys who work in garages and on farms, guys who work on our version of "wall street" and guys who don't work at all. What they do or how much money they have has nothing to do with whether or not I want to spend time with or be intimate with them. It's been about them. All that matters is what's inside, the things they stand for, their ability to be open and honest and last, but not least, how they feel about me.
That's always been, in my experience, how well-adjusted people go about finding partners.
Of course, no MRA would ever believe that, because deep down inside they know they'd never be able to date someone like me if those are the criteria required to spend time with me in an intimate way.
(…and I'd like to point out that: intimacy =/= sex. No matter how much these idiots want to believe that those two words mean the same thing.)

Drafted: DET / 1993 NHL Entry Draft
Round: 1st (22nd overall)
By the age of 20, Eriksson felt he was ready for the fast-paced NHL, and in 1995-96, he moved to North America and played 75 games for the Adirondack Red Wings as an AHL rookie while playing in one game with the parent club in Detroit.
Eriksson was drafted 22nd overall in the 1993 NHL entry draft by the Detroit Red Wings and 1996-97 split his season with the Wings and the team's AHL affiliate in the AHL. In 1997-98, Eriksson secured a full-time roster spot with the Red Wings and drew praise for his plus-21 rating, tops among all rookies. In the playoffs, helping the Red Wings win their second consecutive Stanley Cup.
Late in the 1999 season, Eriksson was traded with a first-round draft pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for three-time Norris Trophy winner Chris Chelios. In 72 games between the two teams, Ericksson scored 20 points and in 1999-00, established a career high 28 points.
After only 13 games into the 2000-01 season with the Blackhawks, Eriksson was traded to the Florida Panthers for Jaroslav Spacek. He went on to play 60 games for the Panthers before signing as a free agent with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the summer of 2001.
Eriksson went on to play two seasons in the Maple Leaf organization before joining the Columbus Blue Jackets organization in October of 2003. As a Blue Jacket, Eriksson would split his time with the club and its AHL affiliate in Syracuse.
After stops in HV 71 Jonkoping of the Swedish League and Magnitogrosk of the Russian League, Eriksson returned to North America to compete in 12 games with the Syracuse Crunch in 2005-06.
In 2006-07, Eriksson returned to the NHL and became a regular in the Columbus Blue Jacket line-up appearing in 79 games. After a single season in Columbus, the Blue Jackets opted not to resign Eriksson who found himself a new home with the Calgary Flames in July, 2007.
On March 3, 2010, the NHL trade deadline, Eriksson was traded to the New York Rangers in exchange for Miika Wiikman and a seventh round draft pick.

It appears every major environmental and labor organization in the nation is lined up against this one. No wonder there's an effort to "fast track" the trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific trade deals. Briefly, the agreements would continue to outsource U.S. jobs, gut international environmental protections and food safety, and put the multi-nationals in the driver's seat by including investor-state dispute settlement language that removes virtually any means "by which governments might seek to defend their citizens or protect the natural world."
After being elected with serious support from environmental organizations, Texas' own Pete Gallego appears to have gone rogue after initial objections to fast-track and the Pacific trade deal. (Added 01/28/14: See Gallego's comments at bottom of this post.)
Of the fast track and trade deals, Friends of the Earth writes:
TPP and TTIP would allow foreign investors to seek awards of money damages from business-friendly tribunals in compensation for the cost of complying with environmental and consumer regulations — even the "cost" of lost opportunities for future profits.
Mining, oil drilling and infrastructure construction, like ports and pipelines, are all frequent topics of litigation under existing international investment agreements. For example, La Oroya, Peru, is one of ten most polluted places on earth. Renco, a U.S. company, has repeatedly failed to meet its contractual and legal deadlines to clean up the pollution caused by its metallic smelter at La Oroya. Renco has sued Peru before an international investment tribunal, seeking $800 million in damages for the cost of complying with Peru's environmental and mining laws.
Climate measures are also put at risk by the TPP and TTIP investment chapters. A wide array of energy policies could be challenged, conceivably including TPP attacks on any decision to stop construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. In the same way, local efforts to block fossil fuel export terminals in the U.S. might well be challenged before tribunals at the World Bank or the Permanent Court of Arbitration, applying investor rights under TPP or TTIP.
Other provisions in the agreements would undercut essential environmental and climate initiatives. Regulatory coherence and other chapters of the TPP and TTIP encourage inappropriate use of cost-benefit analysis, inhibiting government regulators from applying the "precautionary principle" when assessing the safety of toxic chemicals, food imports and genetically engineered products, among others.
Overbroad concepts of "discrimination" could lead to TTIP challenges to the European Fuel Quality Directive for its unequal treatment of tar sands oil from North America based on its threat to the climate. Regulatory constraints on high carbon exports of oil and liquefied natural gas could run afoul of prohibitions on export controls in international trade law.
The privatization of nature would also be encouraged. As just one example, a leaked version of the TPP chapter on intellectual property provides international legal protections for patents on plants and animals, giving corporations monopolies over the use of parts of the genetic code that are our common natural and human heritage. Corporate control of water resources is another threat.

If you're in South Texas, consider this message
from (written by Alyssa Burgin of the Texas Drought Project and forwarded to me by) a friend at the San Antonio Sierra Club that I received earlier this month. Hopefully there is some great misunderstanding in play, as Gallego was consistently a strong supporter of important environmental legislation as a state rep before he was elected to Congress last year.
In the last few days, a disturbing pattern has emerged in the fight on Fast-track authority for the Trans Pacific Partnership. Congressman Gallego, who has been so swayed by pro-TPP arguments that he switched sides, has been denying that his office has received any outcry, any message at all against the agreement. We know that it is not true. We also recall another Congressman who made the same argument, even though thousands of phone calls came into his office from friends and colleagues of ours to ask that he vote for the Waxman Markey climate bill. He lost the next election.
We ask that you contact the Congressman through BOTH his chief of staff Rene Munoz AND Irma Gutierrez (very important!) at the following numbers, or send emails: (202) firstname.lastname@example.com AND Irma Gutierrez, 210-927-4592email at email@example.com It is VITAL that to get this message to the Congressman, you contact both staffers!
I contacted the source on this info* today and they said that labor interests have since met with Gallego and that he is indeed seriously "on the fence" on the issue and could use some hard pushes. You can see Gallego signed onto this June letter against fast-track, but is suddenly absent in November when three-fourths of the Democratic Caucus restated their objection
Give him a ring. Let me know what you hear back. (The two other Texas Dems not signed on in opposition to fast-track, according to Daily Kos, are San Antonio's Henry Cuellar and DFW's Marc Veasey.)
Though considered a long shot, Obama hasn't given up on fast-track and has been involved in a major shaking down of Dems as he prepares for his State of the Union and a final round of trade negotiations in the Pacific next month.
* That is, the information as I received it. (See comments.)
Email comments received by Congressman Gallego on January 28:
Thanks for the coverage & the compliments in your blog.
Growing up as a small town boy, I learned there isn't much you can do about the rumor mill, though it is sometimes best to make a few basic counterpoints.
Here are a few things I would say:
(1) I wrote to Levin reinforcing your very concerns some time ago.
(2) The debate is evolving and we are pushing for more of a role in the process.
(3) There is no imminent vote approaching, and that's a good thing.
(4) I have in fact met with many grassroots leaders in the labor and environment community (including the Sierra Club) to make sure their voices are heard.
(5) I want to be a part of fixing this fast track bill, and to make sure folks in District 23 are not being shut out of the process.
With his commitment to "fixing" the bill, I asked what changes would be required to secure his support.
He replied:
You put your finger on the exact thing I'm trying to learn through my meetings with the various groups. I need to know from the stakeholders what I should be advocating for/against as alternatives are developed. That's what legislating is all about.
My challenge is that the conversations in and around DC quickly turn into conversations about the politics of an issue. I've never been much about the politics. I've been about policy. That's what served me well in the Legislature – and that's what I try to do in Congress.

MARTINSBURG - Two new assistant superintendents were named Monday night at the Berkeley County Board of Education meeting.
Kim Hough of the Berkeley County central office and Don Dellinger, principal at Hedgesville High School, are expected to take over after current Assistant Superintendent Rick Deuell and Deputy Superintendent Frank Aliveto retire.
"I'm just honored to serve Berkeley County Schools on this capacity, and I'm looking forward to this opportunity," Hough said.
Hough has been an administrator of Berkeley County Schools for nine years and has served as director of federal programs, administrative assistant to the deputy superintendent and assistant director of special education.
She has experience with budgeting, supervising universal pre-kindergarten in Berkeley County, staff development and teaching English and social studies.
"We want to offer our students everything we can possibly give so they can compete in the global society and the 21st century. We will look at everything we can to work toward that goal," Hough said.
Both Hough and Dellinger were eager to begin working with the school board.
"There's a good bit of turnover at the office because of retirement, so we're going to begin with new, fresh ideas," Dellinger said.
Dellinger has served Berkeley County Schools for more than 33 years. Not only did he graduate from HHS, he also returned to the school to serve as a teacher, coach, assistant principal and principal for 12 years.
He also helped advance female athletics at the high school level and start advanced math curriculum.
"I've spent nearly the past 40 years of my life at Hedgesville High School. The school and community mean a whole lot to me," Dellinger said. "The support you receive from the everyone is above and beyond, and I'm going to miss daily contact with students and the community."
Dellinger added that the principal position at HHS is currently posted.
"I'm looking forward to the new challenge in my career, and I'm excited to work with Superintendent Arvon and the rest," he said.
Hough and Dellinger will begin their new positions on July 1.
