YOUNG people at risk in Wiltshire are to receive extra help, after local charities received a funding boost from the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Twelve projects from across the county have received £315,000 from Angus Macpherson's £1million Innovation Fund, which supports the most vulnerable members of society.
Trowbridge based youth services charity Alabaré received £20,228 to provide overnight accommodation for young people with nowhere else to go.
Vanessa Brown, from the charity, said: "Sometimes when young people are picked up off the street, either as runaways or at risk, there is a delay in finding suitable accommodation overnight. "We've heard stories of young people being put in a police cell for their own safety, because if they are sitting at a police station an officer has to sit with them, and on a busy Friday night that just doesn't happen."
The charity can now provide a bed in Trowbridge and Salis-bury, to relieve pressure on the police. Ms Brown said: "This will give us enough money to run the project for 12 months, and take up to two young people per night for up to seven days."
Trowbridge-based counselling charity Splitz also benefited from the grants, with £35,000 to address domestic abuse among teenagers. Fundraising coordinator Andrew Farrow said: "There is physical violence, emotional abuse and lack of sexual respect in some teen relationships. In our work on a one-to-one basis we noticed a change in attitude.
"The money will fund two facilitators to go to four schools and deliver workshops for boys and girls over 12 weeks, teaching them about respectful relationships. "It's a pilot scheme, to give us a chance to attract more money and roll it out across Wiltshire."

ussfletcher - Thursday, April 03, 2014 - linkMajor cross-platform update if you are using one of the two closely related Apple products. Reply
gregor7777 - Friday, April 04, 2014 - linkI thought that was funny too. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Friday, April 11, 2014 - linkSrsly, Spotify. iOS versions matter less than Android versions now. Why would you delay the most important version? ;) Reply
itpromike - Sunday, April 13, 2014 - linkIn what world is this where that would be true? There is a reason that a lot of big development houses release iOS first (many, not all though). Some are even doing simultaneous releases; which in many cases from what I understand, the iOS version is still completed first and just held for release until the Android version is done. Reply
Filiprino - Sunday, April 13, 2014 - linkSpotify also has a GNU Linux version. Reply

With anonymouse, if the user enters an incorrect/does not enter a captcha code, the image is either not reloading or disappearing altogether, and I have no idea why.
Any thoughts?
Sorry I reply the vanilla auto email sender ;(
Simply go to my site: http://bh8.vn, go to a discussion page and view the source, save the anonymous.js of my site and replace your old js with mine, it will work, sorry I can show you in detail, i reply by mobile.
It is a jquery conflict, let me know your site
And thanks!
Anonymouse is also allowing users to post in root. I'm disabling this ability in the plugin settings, but the settings do not save (using the dashboard); they just revert back.
I replied your messenge through email.
Forgive me but I cannot find your email/message. Where did you send it to?
Sorry I reply the vanilla auto email sender ;(
Simply go to my site: http://bh8.vn, go to a discussion page and view the source, save the anonymous.js of my site and replace your old js with mine, it will work, sorry I can show you in detail, i reply by mobile.
No problem haha. I'll test it as soon as I'm home, thanks!
I replaced mine accordingly, and it didn't work. Now instead of not refreshing the image it simply gets rid of the image (doesn't provide a new captcha). Still not sure what's going on.
Are you using minify or js compress?
Nope, I'm not.
Since it initially shows the captcha but will not after an incorrect entry, it would have something to do with this code, would it not?
// 1. Update captcha if post fails $("div.Errors > ul").livequery(function(){ var imagesrc = gdn.combinePaths(WebRoot, '/plugins/Anonymouse/captcha/imagettfbox.php' + '?' + Math.random()); var $img = $('#CaptchaBox img'); if ($img.length > 0) $img.first().attr('src', imagesrc); });
I really don't understand php/jquery and how it works, so sadly this is something I'm completely lost with trying to troubleshoot on my own.
The above loads if captcha fails, so is the path correct?
Try absolute path.
Yup, the path is correct as well.
No idea , then. I dont use anonymouse
No problem, I appreciate you looking at it. Hopefully @bh8vn will be able to provide some more insight on the issue.
I think the jquery.js appear two times in your source, when you add the js for the menu, it's no need to add more jquery, it make the conflict.
Tell me if it still not work. I deal with the problem better if it on my site
Sadly that wasn't it either.
It's undoubtedly due to Jquery and the use of it in my menu, because when I switch to my theme without the menu, Anonymouse functions perfectly fine. I just have no idea why it is still an issue or how to fix it.
@422 excuse my ignorance but, upon reading up and looking at what it actually loads, I do believe I use minify (it loads a jquery.min.js). After tinkering with it for a bit, I managed to get the captcha to work and reload after an incorrect attempt while making a new post, but it still fails if you enter it incorrectly while making a new reply to a discussion.
Yer jquery.min is not minify. Have you disabled anonymouse and tested? The issue probably lies with the plugin.
The current issue is that if you enter an incorrect captcha in a reply to a discussion (the captcha for creating a new discussion works 100% now), it'll redirect you to /post/comment instead of keeping you on the current page and simply providing a new captcha. This occurs for me even if I change theme to one which doesn't use additional Jquery in it, so yes I'd assume this one is directly related to the plugin. @bh8vn 's works exactly as it should, so maybe he'll be able to take another stab at it for me.
Probably list vanilla version, and plugins you use so he can narrow the issue down.
Using: Anonymouse (latest version), DiscussionExcerpt2, Flagging, latest version of Vanilla
Why did you deleted the original JQuery
So nothing work at all.
The first time you send me a message, I test it and it work fine then it not
refresh then it move to another page when captcha not refresh, a little bit confusing :P
And your anonymous.js don't look like me at all, it lack of:
I apologize, you must have been viewing my page while I was making attempts to fix it.
My anonymouse.js does include your jQuery.noConflict(); statement. Again, I'm not sure why or how, but for some reason now when you attempt to reply to a discussion it'll redirect you. If you try to reply to any discussion I'm sure you'll see what I mean.
Sorry for any confusion/difficulty I've caused you.
Edit: I don't know why I get those jQuery errors either...
Alright, I sorted out a lot of issues... I had somehow gotten rid of all the script calls... not sure how.
This is the only error I'm getting now...
GET (some_site)/plugins/Anonymouse/captcha/imagettfbox.php?0.5908362807240337 404 (Not Found)
$.extend.registerPlugin.$.each.$.fn.(anonymous function)jquery.livequery.js:178
$.extend.registerPlugin.$.each.$.fn.(anonymous function)jquery.livequery.js:178
Finally fixed it...
It was a combination of your fixes and me fixing my stupidity which finally got it working. Your anonymouse.js file was correct, but when I copied it over I stupidly forgot to change my path (I have vanilla installed in a folder named main), so it wasn't locating the captcha image.
Thanks @bh8vn, and thanks for putting up with all my questions!
You're welcome, have fun with your work

RIM is doing what it can to ensure they don't fall out too quickly. But if there's one thing they're definitely prepared for, it's facing the loss of their service with whom a majority of corporate customers depend on for communication.
With the stock value of Blackberry stumbling to more than 75% earlier last year and with an additional 20% drop last month, RIM could be losing faith from its investors despite successful devices like the Torch 9810. With BlackBerry's upcoming system in the BB 10 delayed for the next several months, the company has been pressured to make a decision to either sell out its assets or start looking for an interested buyer.
Even though RIM continues to build on to its reliable infrastructure, corporate users from all over the globe have made contingency plans in case RIM fails to meet expectations on its next platform next year. Shareholders who have attended RIM's annual meeting earlier couldn't help but express their disappointment and displeasure. With losses piling up, the company has nowhere to go but succeed if they plan on retaining its worldwide customer base.
There have been concerns with regards to how the new BlackBerry platform will fare when it makes its debut next year. While it may be normal to have manufacturers go out of business due to the lack of support and innovative idea or through financial perils, RIM refuses to back down.
A majority of RIM's customers that have kept the company alive today are those coming from the corporate sector. While companies worldwide are witnessing RIM's slow descent to the unknown, many are already prepared with their own set of backup plans. Millions of employees heavily depend on BlackBerry for mobile communication. Users who have been with the company since the very beginning are actively asking for alternative options in case RIM falls out.
Analysts have predicted a calculated risk of the RIM being bought. But if you're an ordinary user outside of the corporate world it may not really matter. The heart of the company is through its enterprise services. But recently, RIM is threading down to catering social services aimed at the young generation.
RIM's strong and reliable infrastructure is one of the reasons why they're still very much alive. Its assets are considered valuable and large companies from around the world continually rely on BlackBerry for their businesses. But with fear of RIM taking a nose dive, many have devised replacement plans of shifting to other mobile handsets.
RIM's recently hired CEO is asking patience from the public. The company is currently working with its developers around the clock on its new BB 10. It's a work in progress but RIM believes it's poised to turn things around next year. IT analysts believe RIM's enterprise servers will still linger. But with Apple and Android rapidly taking over in providing security and corporate management, RIM will have to act quickly.

I'm really not too sure as why this is so difficult for me but I can't seem to install flash player. I downloaded the obvious .tar.gz from their website. when I extracted it I received a .so file. I'm looking at it like, wait what? What do I need to do inorder to get flash?
NVM close. "NoScript" addon blocked it from starting.
Disable noscript
"I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

Roughly remember that i had to copy that file somewhere into browser's folder.
But i got it sorted by installing flashplugin-nonfree through Synaptic.Then make sure that NoScript doesn't block it when trying to watch.

It feels kinda strange... this is not a "goodbye, I'm quitting the game" post.
For the first time ever in the history of Vana'diel (to my knowledge), this is a goodbye to the server I, and with me thousands of other people, have been playing this game from day one.
So, goodbye, Hades.
I enjoyed most every minute I was able to spend with you. Farewell.
And for all remaining Hadesians... see you on Cerberus after this week-end.

Attn. of Nalyn Blackfyre
Earlier today I was doing Fractals of the Mists with Nalyn and a few non-guildies when my keyboard stopped working. I frantically changed a few different sets of batteries thinking that was the issue but it still wouldn't work, at which point I started trying to play using just the mouse. That went well enough (considering) for about 10', until we got to a jumping section, which, with no space bar, I couldn't get through. I got past the first few jumps by balancing across the narrow railing instead of jumping, but eventually I messed up and fell. With no way to type and let them know what was happening, I had to simply exit and get back to trying to fix the damned keyboard.
This is just a message to apologise for dumping you all mid-fractal, and I hope you guys managed to finish it with just 4 people! Now, back to shopping for a new keyboard...
hah... so that's why you were just standing there all helpless at the bottom of the pit
no problem mate... we managed to finish that fractal after a few wipes (some more stupid than others). but after that one of the others said he had to go because of work and he left. we tried to heroically fight in the last fractal but got overwhelmed by the first boss-thingie-encounter.
it was fun nevertheless and i gotta say that it's damned challenging when outnumbered and outgunned.
PS I gotta wonder though, did you type this message using your mouse?

Nope, I've also got a laptop but it's too weedy to run GW2 I tried to get a friend who's also in the guild to log in and let you guys know what had happened, but he hasn't logged in for a month and by the time his game client updated you had logged out.
I gotta say, it was pretty entertaining trying to stay alive and contribute using only the mouse, but I can't wait to get a new kb tomorrow! If you want to try the fractals again drop me a line anytime!

I thought I would mention a few pieces of geatr that I have picked up over the years that I now find indispensable.
1) Chimney starter - I don't even remember how I lit up before these things. Mine are old and rusted out but can make a fantastiic scene as fire belches out their tops. For wome reason it always takes longer for a full chimney to light up then books say it should (about 25min) but it orks great nonetheless.
2) Parrafin starters - forget crumbling up newspapers. These things work consistantly and very well. I can light up in high wind, rain and very cold and they work just fine.
3) Spray bottle - great for spraying on my mops. I like a mop too but they get really nasty and everyone I have ever had falls apart.
4) Grill grabber - Nifty little plier like things that pick up grill grates. These allow me to pick up a grill grate that is blazing hot with food on the grill and have perfect control. Not to mention that your gloves never get dirty.
5) Shovel - I use a fireplace shovel to move coals from the bucket that I store them in into the chimney or the fire and to move my coals around.
6) Bricks - I use bricks for just about everything when q-ing. I use them to set up chimneys on, to lift food away from the fire, as a source of heat (Put one in the fire and it will help regulate your heat.)

'Goodbye, Circus': Apple adding engineers on the iOS 7 team to 'flatten' and 'de-glitz' for WWDC

We don't need a minimalist look, we need an Open OS !!
5. MC1123 (Posts: 1256; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
a lot still prefer close! you do know google also admits that being open is ugly! if they are open, why are they preventing some devs to scramble android!?
if you heard of aliyun OS from china, which they completely scramble android, google stop it and acer for releasing it! open huh... but why they will do that?
and also why wont they allow facebook for non google play apps to be updated? is this how open works to you?
well at least on close, people are secured!
11. SellPhones82 (Posts: 569; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
The Play Store is not Android. Play Store is a propitiatory app, like Google Maps, which completely separate from Android and is why there are devices out there that run a version of Android.
Google didn't stop Aliyun OS. As a matter of fact, version 2.0 of Aliyun was unveiled last month along with an alliance of several China OEMs. Google told Acer if they launch an Aliyun phone that they would terminate its Android-related cooperation and other technology licensing, meaning no more access to the play store. Aliyun is built on open-source Linux and is not part of the Android ecosystem. It uses the Android runtime, framework and tools and most Android apps will run on it but their apps store also contains pirated Android apps so I think you can see where the issue is. Goes back to my first comment of Play Store not being Android so are you really surprised that Google is not fond of a company that is taking apps that devs have created and released through the Play Store and pirating them?
Apps can't be updated outside the Play Store for security reason so that you still are secure on an open OS.

how can ios bu more minimal than its current form? Its only icons on a screen.I cant think anything more minimal.Will it be only empty screen?
12. aditya.k (Posts: 496; Member since: 10 Mar 2013)
I think there'll be a keyboard. You have to type and search the apps you have downloaded and open them! :P
14. Luuthian (Posts: 296; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
I'm fairly certain they're talking about the look of certain app icons and the interface of the apps themselves.
Right now the phone is minimal in it's home screen and settings, but that's about it. Everything else is textured.
3. alterecho (Posts: 1099; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
The current look is really good, as it is, regardless of what other (few) people say. I like the Skeuomorphism approach, which adds an umatched level of sofistication to iOS. Some of the attention to detail is mind boggling.
They need to mainly remove the dependance on iTunes, and open up in general.
4. mew7946510 (Posts: 55; Member since: 10 Nov 2010)
The emboss and shiny UI that they are currently using is already good. They shouldn't bother about things that just work. It seems rather "useless" to change it since what that really matters is that they work and people are comfortable in using it. I think it would be better if they just add tons of new features.

If it's no longer shiny, who will buy it?

Top 10 Baby Shower Gifts

Skip the diaper cake and gift the mom-to-be with one of these unique baby shower gift ideas, sure to put a smile on her face.
No new mom was ever disappointed to receive a diaper cake, but the options for baby shower gifts these days are endless.
Whether you celebrate the mini miracle's arrival with something practical, something pretty, or something completely unique, these are the gifts that are sure to liven up the mama-to-be's day and make her life as a parent just a little bit simpler.
Housecleaning Service: Keeping up with the dishes is probably the last thing on a time-strapped new mom's mind, so why not treat her to a professional housecleaning? Just be sure that whatever service you choose uses eco-friendly, fragrance-free products (to avoid upsetting the newborn's delicate system).
Stylin' Seat: Whether you go for a sweet rocker, a state-of-the-art swing, or a retro-looking bouncer like the Mamas & Papas Apollo ($99), you'll be giving Mom the gift of some hands-free time with a happily entertained baby.
Birth Announcements: Help the guest of honor welcome her new addition in style with a gift certificate to a site that creates beautiful birth announcements or thank-you cards. Be sure to choose a site with a wide range of styles, so Mom can really let her personality shine.
Chic Carrier: Strollers don't work in every situation, so a fabulous carrier or sling is an absolute must. Go sporty, eco-friendly, bohemian, or modern…there are so many styles on the market that your only problem will be which one to choose (we love Rockin' Baby's Hippy Hippy Shake, $79.99).
Date Night: Gift the couple with a special night out on the town. Some ideas include gift certificates to local restaurants and movie theaters, a bottle of wine…and a coupon for an evening of babysitting, courtesy of you. Really make it the best baby shower gift by wrapping everything into one special gift basket!
Diaper bag: Whether you go practical or luxe, choose a style (like this Kate Spade Harmony Baby Bag, $295) that will look just as gorgeous on the street as it does next to the changing table.
Meal Delivery (Group Gift): Newly-minted moms have exactly zero time to prepare fantastic, healthy meals, and takeout gets old after awhile. Pre-shower, get together with a group of friends and arrange to have each of you deliver a delicious meal for the entire family on a set night (or two). Be sure to find out about any allergies or food restrictions in advance, and make enough so that Mom will be able to have the leftovers for lunch the next day!
Baby Bath: Put together a gift basket containing a variety of luxe bath products for Baby (and maybe one for Mom). Include items like baby shampoo, moisturizer, sunscreen, a sweet hooded towel, and, of course, a rubber duck.
Learning Library: A classic book or two to start of the baby's very first library is always a welcome gift. Some suggestions: Madeline, Goodnight, Moon, Angelina Ballerina, and Babar.
DIY: The sweetest baby shower gifts are often the ones you make yourself, so call whatever skills you have into action. Are you a photographer? Schedule a photo session for the new addition. A chef? A basket of ready-to-freeze meals could get the new family through those tough first weeks. And of course if you're handy with a pair of knitting needles and have a little time to spare, try whipping up a beautiful blanket, newborn hat, or baby socks.

Great Energy Challenge Innovator: Impact Energies
Project: First countrywide solar repair network in Africa
Location: Across the 10 regions of Ghana
Summary: Impact Energies will create the first countrywide repair network for solar lighting systems in Africa. Given that this is a nascent industry, there is a lack of trained technicians to maintain and repair solar systems. As a result, customers are dissatisfied when systems break down, creating a negative perception of the solar lighting industry. This slows the adoption and the ability to grow this market. Impact Energies will train a network of 100 technicians, set up a customer service call center and launch a marketing campaign to counteract this trend.
The key elements of the system include:
- Network of up to 100 technicians, at least 8 in each of 10 regions of Ghana, trained by Ghana's solar product dealers to repair their products
- Nationwide call center, with operators trained to diagnose simple problems and to direct customers to technicians if necessary
- Marketing campaign to inform customers about the call center. All solar distributors in Ghana will be invited to join the network, and will pay fees to cover the ongoing costs of the call center and follow-up trainings. Results of the project will be measured by monthly volume of calls to the call center, SMS tracking of technicians, an online portal showing the data visually and quarterly random caller-satisfaction surveys.
Goal: Create the first ever countrywide solar repair network in Africa
Project Background: Impact Energies, a distributor of solar products in Ghana, helps customers access affordable solar products on credit, via microfinance banks. Initially based in Ghana, Impact Energies handles all links of the supply chain so that its partners-microfinance banks and NGOs-do not have to do so. This includes product sourcing and importing, branch delivery, proprietary inventory management software, sales training, and warranty support. Impact Energies will take advantage of existing distribution and financing networks, which will increase the potential to expand. The solar repair network will help both Impact Energies and other solar distributors in Ghana improve their capacity to support warranties in remote regions.
Project participants: Impact Energies (Hugh Whalan, CEO; Nate Heller, West Africa Director)
The Great Energy Challenge grant program, in collaboration with a distinguished group of scientists acting as the board of advisors, awards roughly a half-dozen grants per year. The goal of the grant program is to hasten the growth of promising, global energy solutions as a response to climate change, energy resource constraints and environmental limitations.

Meal Ideas for Different Vegetarian Diets
Vegan (no dairy or eggs)
- Grilled Vegetable Sandwich — Slice mushrooms, onions, artichokes, tomatoes, zucchini, and/or yellow squash and saute in a little bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Then put vegetables between two slices of whole wheat or rye bread.
- Vegetarian Chili — Make with lots of tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, onions, garlic, and different types of beans. You can also add meat substitutes like "beef" crumbles or sweet potatoes to bulk up your chili. Season it with cumin and chili powder. If you use broth, it needs to be vegetable broth, not chicken or beef broth!
- Vegetarian Fajitas — Fill a whole-wheat or corn tortilla with sautéed onions and peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole and salsa. Add a side of brown rice and beans too!
- Whole Wheat Pasta with Marinara — Add cooked vegetables to your marinara sauce or have them as a side dish. You can also add soy crumbles or a meat substitute like beef crumbles to your sauce.
- Stir-fry — Load this dish with sautéed vegetables and tofu and serve over brown rice. Some good stir-frying vegetables are broccoli, snow peas, baby corn, carrots, water chestnuts, onions and red bell peppers. Try to cook in a small amount of oil and don't add too much sauce!
- Green Spinach and/or Romaine Salad — Pack your salad with different vegetables, dried or fresh fruits, beans, some chopped nuts or seeds, and a few croutons. Use low-fat dressing and eat with a small whole grain roll on the side. Don't be afraid to get creative! (If you follow a lacto- or lacto-ovo vegetarian diet, try adding hard-boiled eggs or low-fat cheese when making salads.)
- Soup and Salad — Pair black bean, lentil, or vegetable soup with a fresh green salad. See above for salad ideas.
Lacto-vegetarian (has dairy but no eggs)
- Broccoli Cheese Soup — Serve with a whole-grain roll and dip it in your soup. Add a side salad made with fresh greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots and low-fat dressing.
- Bean Burrito — Fill a whole-wheat tortilla with fat-free refried beans, salsa and low-fat cheese.
- Grilled Cheese Sandwich — Add tomatoes to your sandwich before grilling or dip in tomato soup. (Try sticking to vegetable broth-based soups instead of cream-based.)
- Falafel Pita — Fill a small whole-wheat pita with a few pieces of falafel, yogurt-based sauce (tzatziki sauce), cucumbers and tomatoes.
- Veggie Quesadilla — Fill a whole-wheat tortilla with grilled peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and low-fat shredded cheese. Eat with pico de gallo and a small amount of reduced-fat sour cream or guacamole.
- Veggie Burger or Black Bean Burger — Make these from scratch if you can find a recipe or buy them pre-made from the store. Cook your burger on the grill. Then top with a slice of low-fat cheese, a few slices of avocado, tomato, lettuce, and onion on a whole-wheat roll. It's easy to make this a vegan meal by just taking out the cheese!
- Pizza — Make a cheese pizza with marinara and fresh mozzarella. Top it with your vegetables.
- Whole Wheat Pasta with Pesto Sauce — Cook and add your favorite veggies on top of this dish or try eating with a green side salad and low-fat dressing.
- Yogurt Parfait — Make with low-fat vanilla yogurt, fresh berries, and chopped nuts.
- Stuffed Peppers — Stuff bell peppers with a mixture of brown rice, soy crumbles, non-starchy veggies and shredded cheese.
Lacto-ovo vegetarian (has both dairy and eggs)
- Vegetarian Omelet — Make with lightly sautéed spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions or other veggies of your choice and some melted cheese on top.
- Vegetable Lasagna — Make with low-fat ricotta cheese. You can pack this dish with lots of vegetables like squash, mushrooms, onions, peppers and broccoli. Top with marinara sauce. (Note that most lasagna recipes include eggs. Also, there are some vegan lasagna recipes that use tofu in place of ricotta cheese.)
- Eggplant Parmesan — Serve with marinara sauce and a small amount of whole-grain pasta. (Note that most eggplant parmesan recipes include eggs.)
- Egg Salad Sandwich — Make with light mayo and serve on whole wheat toast.
- You can also enjoy any of the meals in the categories above!
Breakfast Ideas
- Whole grain cereal with ½ cup low-fat milk (soy milk for vegan diets)
- 1 piece of whole-wheat toast with peanut butter and a small piece of fresh fruit
- Fruit smoothie (use soy yogurt and/or soy milk for vegan diets)
- Oatmeal (made with water or soy milk) with chopped nuts and/or dried fruit
- Scrambled egg (try tofu scramble for vegan or lacto-vegetarian diets)
- ½ whole wheat English muffin with a small amount of jelly and a small bowl of fresh berries
If you are looking for more meal ideas, you may want to search for vegetarian recipes on Recipes for Healthy Living.

Prostate Cancer
Female Doctor
My primary doctor is female. She specializes in Internal Medicine, Medicine Care Emphases: Anticoagulation, Cardiology, Lipid Disorders, Pulmonary Medicine, Preventive Cardiology.
I was told she was an excellent doctor by my cardiologist after I complained to him about my dissatisfaction with my then doctor. That was in 2006.
I have been seeing her for diabetes, cholesterol and heart issues since then. During this time I have not had the usual exams that I always had with male doctors. Not that I miss them, but I am just wondering if I have the wrong doctor as my one and only doctor.
It should not matter whether your primary physician is male or female. You should discuss any urologic history and symptoms you have with your physician. Periodic urologic examination is reasonable depending on age, etc. This can be done by the primary physician or referred to a urologist.

tipoo - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkI guess if you're just comparing it to the Vita, after you get a memory card only 50 dollars difference doesn't sound so bad for at *least* a generational performance increase. But that's just hardware alone, the Vita has exclusive games (if not that many) and big developers dedicated to it. On the third hand (foot?) the bigger appeal of this may be PC streaming, play on the pooper without lugging your rig there. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkThe pricing is still too high imo. You can buy great tablets for almost half that. You can attach a USB or bluetooth controller to those tablets, too. The only thing that's truly innovative about Shield is the one thing that should be universal to tablets and other PC's: gaming streaming. nVidia would be wise to NOT take forever (ie., SLI) to make this inter-operable across all kinds of hardware.
Also, even if I accepted the pricing (and I don't), I'd still have a problem with their statements of games having to be compatible with their streaming. Meaning, they have to go in and ADD support rather than support being default. Meaning, only certain games will work and if they move on from this initiative, then you'll move on from having streaming games. Reply
tipoo - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkLike the Nexus 7? That would still be on the prior version of Tegra (which is much worse performing) and you would have to buy a controller too, and something for HDMI output, and you'd still not be able to stream your PC games. I'm not saying this is a great idea, but it has its niche. Reply
thedarknight87 - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkThe PS4 will support streaming of all its games to Vita over both local Wi-Fi as well as remotely via Gaikai, so I guess with a Vita you can play your PS4 games on the go or wherever. Reply
cmdrdredd - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkIt won't stream to the Vita, games will stream from the cloud to the PS4 itself. Reply
thedarknight87 - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkThe PS4 comes with Gaikai technology and will itself act as a server and remotely stream games to the PS Vita even when it is not on the same local network as the PS4. The wording of my earlier post was kinda off. Reply
piroroadkill - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkPricing is fine, but how is the thing in the hand.. and in the pocket? It looks pretty bulky.
Then you have the issue that kills the whole thing for a good number of people: it arbitrarily only supports NVIDIA cards.
It's only sending controller commands and encoding a bloody h.264 stream.. Reply
psuedonymous - Friday, May 17, 2013 - link"it arbitrarily only supports NVIDIA cards."
Somewhat justifiably: it relies on a hardware encoder to bring latency low enough for viable streaming. No hardware encoder (of sufficient performance), no streaming. I suspect denying the use of software encoders is mainly to prevent people from trying it on a card with insufficient grunt to encode in real-time and then complaining about the poor quality.
If AMD can demonstrate a software encoder of similar latency though? Then commence the complaint torrent. Reply
Kevin G - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkIntel has their QuickSync encoder on desktop/mobile Sandybridge/Ivy Bridge chips (minus Sandybridge-E). That should be more than fast enough. Reply
tipoo - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkThe encoder would be fast enough, but the GPU? :P Reply
gopher1369 - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkRubbish, I have no problem streaming my Radeon 7850 to my Nexus 4 via Splashtop, latency free. Shield is propietory because Nvidia want it to be. Reply
ChuckDriver - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkI believe that some of the motivation for Project Shield was losing all the console business to AMD. I do like that they are standardizing on the Google Play store, since so many of the games that I play are there. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkSo will I be able to "stream" a MOBA like League of Legends onto this device? Reply
tipoo - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkIn theory. The game needs to add support. Reply
hpglow - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkI would like one, but the are two hang ups for me.
First is the price, $350. At $250 I would be a buyer for sure. Even if the SOC is brand spanking new, nVidia's profit margins aren't my problem.
The next issue is screen size and resolution. For the price both should be better. One of the more compelling features of Shield is PC game streaming from my main PC. But how are games designed for a high res monitor going to look at 720p? Am I going to be happy going from 1440p to 720p? I would have been more happy if they made it $200 and didn't include a screen and just made it a set top box. Reply
ET - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linkIf you're curious about playing in 720p, why not just try it? Reply
spigzone - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkZero mass market appeal and very limited niche appeal. Speaks to how desperate Nvidia is to do something to counteract AMD's coming x86 gaming hegemony. The future of x86 gaming is HSA APUs and AMD owns that space. Nvidia will have zero leverage with game developers who will increasingly see Nvidia as an unwelcome guest at the table. Reply
cmdrdredd - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkNo, AMD will not budge Intel out of x86 dominance. Mark my words. APUs will go nowhere in two markets. Gaming and Professional where Nvidia dominates AMD. Reply
thesavvymage - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkIf nothing else, its perfect for emulators! Can play everything up through ps1/n64 era, which is all of the emulators available today anyways. Reply

Swingin' with the All Stars: Louis Armstrong & Baseball - Louis Armstrong House Museum
Through August 31, 2013 - Corona
Baseball was Louis Armstrong's favorite sport and he followed it passionately. A longtime Brooklyn Dodgers fan, Louis switched to the New York Mets in the late 60s, even attending the deciding game 5 of the 1969 World Series. This exhibit includes photos and artifacts exploring Louis's relationship with the game.
Though a Mets and Dodgers fan, this exhibit features Louis's connections to the Yankees, namely through his manager, Joe Glaser, who was a legendary Yankee fan who attended nearly every home game. When Louis was mobbed by fans during a tour of Buenos Aires in 1957, he asked Glaser to have Yogi Berra send a catcher's mask to protect his "chops." Swingin' with the All Stars includes a photo of Louis in Yogi's mask!
Includes Louis's handwritten list of "my four choice Dodger players at all times," a photo of Louis backstage with Dodgers Don Newcombe and Junior Gilliam, a rare Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald "baseball card" from Holland, and one of Louis's famed tape box collages featuring a photo of the trumpeter with New York Yankees Phil Rizzuto and Joe Collins.
The exhibit also contains information about Louis's "Secret 9" baseball team. In the summer of 1931, Louis returned to New Orleans for the first time since leaving it for Chicago in 1922. While there, Armstrong took interest in a sandlot team, bought them brand new equipment and uniforms and renamed them "Armstrong's Secret 9." The exhibit will include a photo of the Secret 9, an advertisement for one of their games taken from one of Louis's oldest scrapbooks, and a humorous excerpt from an unpublished 1955 manuscript in which Armstrong details how the players were so proud of their new uniforms that they refused to slide and lost every game!

Behind the Screen - Museum of the Moving Image
Through December 22, 2013 - Astoria
The core exhibition of the Museum, a one-of-a-kind experience that immerses visitors in the creative and technical process of producing, promoting, and presenting films, television shows, and digital entertainment. Occupying 15,000 square feet of the Museum's second and third floors, the exhibition reveals the skills, material resources, and artistic decisions that go into making moving images. Behind the Screen also introduces visitors to the history of the moving image, from nineteenth-century optical toys to the present-day impact of digital tools on film editing and post-production. Children under the age of fourteen must be accompanied by an adult of eighteen years or older.
Artifacts: The exhibition incorporates approximately 1,400 artifacts from the Museum's collection of the material culture of the moving image. These include historic film and television cameras, projectors, television sets, sound recording equipment, costumes, set design sketches and models, make-up, fan magazines, posters, and an outstanding collection of licensed merchandise—dolls, toys, board games, lunch boxes, and more. The Museum has also been a pioneer in collecting video arcade and console games, which are on exhibit and available for play by visitors. Recently acquired objects on view include makeup used on the stars of Sex in the City, a mechanical prop designed by Mike Marino for a climactic scene in Black Swan, and molds and prototypes produced during the creation of a King Kong action figure.
Computer-based interactive experiences: Visitors may record their own movements as a sequence of still photographs that can be printed out and made into a flipbook; create their own stop-motion animations, which they can save and email; record their voices over dialogue from a film, following the same procedure that actors use when dubbing their lines in post-production; choose sound effects to add to the images of well-known movies and television shows; add music to scenes from movies, and to experience how music affects mood and tone.
Audio-visual material: Behind the Screen includes nearly four hours of audio-visual material that ranges from film clips related to the artifacts on display; projections of the earliest kinetoscope films, The Great Train Robbery, and selections from The Jazz Singer and Nanook of the North, all of which bring key moments in film history vividly to life; special videos, including The First Movies about Etienne Jules Marey and Chuck Workman's Precious Images; and a simulation of a live TV control room, taking visitors inside the room where director Bill Webb called the shots for the broadcast of a game between the New York Mets and San Diego Padres.
Commissioned artworks: Artworks created especially for incorporation into Behind the Screen are Tut's Fever by Red Grooms and Lysiane Luong, a real movie theater equipped for video that seats thirty-five; TV Lounge by Jim Isermann, an environment resembling a 1960s living room; and Feral Fount by Gregory Barsamian, a stroboscopic zoetrope using 97 sculptures rotating on an armature to create a short animation.

Campaign on "Jury Service: It's Your Duty" Shows Importance of Going to Court When Called
Press Release
Indiana Jury Service: Duty, Privilege, Honor.
This video was produced in accordance with Jury Rule 11 to provide prospective jurors with an orientation prior to the selection process to aid in understanding their role in the legal system. This video gives an overview of the jury system in Indiana, including the importance of jury service, the jury selection process, the key people involved in a trial, what to expect during the trial, and a discussion of jury deliberations. Transcript (PDF)
The principle of a jury trial was first established in the year 1215 in England when King John signed the Magna Carta.
In Indiana, the right to a trial by jury is protected by the Bill of Rights of our state constitution.
In order to be eligible for jury duty, you must be:
(See Indiana Jury Rule 5)
Indiana Jury Rule 7 permits the judge or judge's designee to authorize deferral of jury service upon a showing of hardship, extreme inconvenience, or necessity. Generally, courts do not require you to appear in court to request a deferral. There are a variety of ways in which to contact the court to request a deferral including by telephone, by electronic mail (where available), in writing, or in person. For more information or questions, please contact the court that sent you the notice and/or summons for jury service.
(See Indiana Jury Rule 7)
If you are called for jury duty and you would like more information, you should seek that information through the local trial court to which you were called for duty. Following is a list of webpages detailing jury information for those Indiana counties that post this information online:
This web page is designed to give you some basic information about jury service in Indiana state trial courts. The policies and procedures for jury service in the Federal District Courts may differ from the information on this page.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Type 1 diabetes is on the rise in children and could be increasing much more in coming years.
According to a study published last year in The Lancet, if the trend continues, new cases in kids younger than five-years-old could double by 2020.
Three-year-old Cameron has had type 1 diabetes for half of her life. Needles and glucose monitoring have been a part of her daily life since the day she was diagnosed.
"It was quite possible the worst day of our life. They were pricking her with needles, they were taking her blood, they were restraining her on the bed at the hospital and it was awful," Cameron's mom said.
Since toddlers cannot describe their symptoms, it can take a while for parents to figure out what is wrong.
"The amount of diapers we were going through was incredible. She was losing weight, the clothes we just bought her were no longer fitting her," Cameron's mom said.
Unlike type 2 diabetes, where insulin doesn't process well, type 1 diabetics produce no insulin at all.
Now, Cameron wears an insulin pump to help her convert food into energy.

Apple Falls to 6th Place in China's Mobile Market

Apple is expected to rebound with the iPhone 5 launch
Apple's position in the Chinese smartphone market was bumped from No. 4 to No. 6 in the third quarter as China-based brands fire up the competition.
Apple, which previously held the No. 4 spot in the Chinese mobile phone market, slipped to No. 6 in Q3 due to its low number of shipments, according to research firm IDC. Out of China's 60 million mobile phone shipments in Q3, Apple's iPhone accounted for less than 10 percent.
China is the world's largest cell phone market with over one billion mobile subscribers at present. Chinese electronics brands have been pushing sales harder with better prices and enhanced features.
Another issue is that less than one-fifth of the one billion subscribers still use the 3G network, according to Reuters. Apple's iPhone 4S and previous do not
have 4G compatibility
, so other options in the market likely looked a lot more attractive.
However, IDC expects Apple's position to jump back up after the release of the iPhone 5 in December. The
iPhone 5 was released in the U.S. back in September
, but Chinese residents had to wait on regulatory approval to have the device sold in the country. Now that Apple has that approval, the iPhone 5 will make its way to the mobile market in China this month.
The iPhone 5 finally has 4G compatibility and a larger screen at nearly 4 inches. These and other new features should make the newest addition to the iPhone family a competitive threat in the Chinese mobile market.
The ranking of electronics manufacturers in China's mobile market is as follows, from first to sixth place: Samsung, Lenovo, Coolpad, ZTE Corp., Huawei Technologies Co. and Apple.

16We know love by this, that he laid down his life for usand we ought to lay down our lives for one another. 17How does Gods love abide in anyone who has the worlds goods and sees a brother or sister* in need and yet refuses help?
18 Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. 19And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him 20whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; 22and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him.
23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.

Southern Poverty Law Center
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a far-Left legal and activist organization created in 1971 in Montgomery, Alabama. It was founded by trial lawyers Morris Dees and Joe Levin, and its first president was civil rights leader Julian Bond, who would later take control of the NAACP. SPLC supports a wide variety of liberal positions; it is pro-immigration (both legal and illegal), advocates multiculturalism and the homosexual agenda, supports Muslims and racial preferences and defendants' rights, and advocates against what it considers "hate groups". In 2012, Black pastors confronted the Southern Poverty Law Center for smearing as "hate groups" pro-family organizations opposed to the homosexual agenda.[1] Reverend Dr. Patrick Wooden admonished the SPLC in declaring that it is wrong to compare "my beautiful blackness" with homosexual perversion.[2]
The SPLC's op-ed writings have appeared in the Communist Party USA's newspaper People's World.[3] This "controversial, liberal organization" [4] has been criticized in mainstream press for being extravagant in its spending, and using charges of racism to stifle conservatives.[5]
The SPLC's IRS Form 990 for the year ending October 31, 2015 showed total income of $54.2 million, and expenses of $45.3 million with a surplus of $8.9 million. The organization has a net worth of $315 million, and the top salaries were paid to Morris Dees, Chief Trial Counsel, $337,146; Richard Cohen, President, $333,296; Wendy Via, Chief of Development, $186,645; Jerri Katzerman, Deputy Legal Director, $183,752; and Joseph Levin, General Counsel, $160,626.[6]
The last year that the Better Business Bureau's Philanthropic Advisory Service reported on the SPLC, in 1994, Dees and then Executive Director Edward Ashworth took home over $150,000 each, and the organization then possessed over $62 million in assets.[7] It now controls over $200 million, and Dees pulls $286,000 in salary.[8] In 2000, SPLC fundraised $27 million and made an additional $17 million from investments, but spent only $13 million on its civil rights program.[9] It is no longer listed in the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance[10] because that would require that "at least 50 percent of total income from all sources, should be applied to programs and activities directly related to the purposes for which the organization exists." The SPLC spent 89 percent of its total income on fund-raising and administrative costs.[11]
In addition to donations from liberal members, which are often elicited by sensationalizing hate crimes, the center raises a lot of revenue seizing assets of violent groups, and by extorting groups that do not want to be accused of racism. In 1987, the SPLC won a major case on behalf of Beulah Mae Donald, the mother of a Klan lynching victim. This was the invention of a clever new tactic—suing domestic terrorist groups into bankruptcy—but Ms. Donald benefitted very little. Of the $7 million verdict, only $50,000 went to her. This was because the Klan chapter had no assets other than a warehouse used as a headquarters, the warehouse itself was valued at about $50,000.[12]
The SPLC's fundraising tactics came under heavy criticism most recently by the Council of Conservative Citizens,[13] as well as by articles in Harper's magazine in 2000[14] and in the local Montgomery Advertiser newspaper in 1994.[15]
Hate Groups
SLPC lists over 1000 organizations as hate groups. Many of these are widely accepted but the list continues to grow with the controversial additions of conservative organizations. Conservative political stances that the SLPC disagrees with are now targeted, many of these additions are organizations for the general welfare of American citizens and are not associated with hate.
- Catholic organizations
- Baptist organizations
- Pentecostal organizations
- American Family Association
- Family Research Council
- Illinois Family Institute
- Parents Action League
- United Families International
- Christian Action Network
- American Defense League
- United States Justice Foundation
- Watchmen Bible Study Group
- Mission to Israel
- Jewish Defense League
These fine organizations and many others are lumped together with the KKK and White nationalists, skin-heads, Neo-Nazis and Black separatists.
Hate Map
The Southern Poverty Law Center posted a 'Hate Map' on their website.[16] The organization lists various "hate groups" for their opposition to the homosexual agenda, abortion and social justice to name a few. Homosexual activist Floyd Corkins utilized the information with the intent on causing mass murder at the Family Research Council in D.C., the conservative organization is listed by them as a hate group. Corkins entered FRC's lobby allegedly shouted "I don't like your politics" and shot an unarmed guard in the arm with a 9mm pistol before being wounded and arrested.[17] The SLPC denied they were responsible but the gunman admitted as much. Though Corkins' actions perfectly fit the definition of a hate crime, no such sentence was given likely due to his liberal sympathies. Corkins did receive a 25-year prison sentence.
SPLC attacks on conservatives
While SPLC organizes against obvious hate groups such as the KKK or Aryan Brotherhood, it also lumps in some conservative organizations in an attempt to intimidate them. For instance, SPLC considers Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) a "hate group", because it opposes illegal immigration, and uses demonstrations as a method, which the SPLC deems intimidation.[18] Similarly, the SPLC labels the immigration reductionist/reformist website VDARE as a "hate group", because it argues against illegal immigration.[19]
The SPLC followed Laird Wilson in publishing a list of "hate groups" but after Wilson rejected the usefulness of that approach, the SPLC continued with it, becoming prominent for using it against groups standing for traditional values.[20][21][22] Laird Wilcox, claims to have provided SPLC with some of the information initially used to compile their list of "hate groups". He "concluded that a lot of [the SPLC's hate groups] were vanishingly small or didn't exist, or could even be an invention of the SPLC." Some of the "hate groups" were creations of SPLC informants, rather than legitimate groups. And with the advent of the internet, some of them exist "nowhere except in cyberspace." Wilcox concludes, "The whole issue of "lists" is full of smoke and mirrors."[23]
In the wake of an August 2012 shooting at the headquarters of the Family Research Council, some columnists criticized the SPLC's listing of the Family Research Council as an "anti-gay hate group". Dana Milbank, of the Washington Post, wrote that the SPLC was "reckless in labeling as a "hate group" a policy shop that advocates for a full range of conservative Christian positions." [24][25] Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said, after the attack, "I believe [the gunman Floyd Corkins] was given a license to do that by a group such as the Southern Poverty Law Center who labeled us a hate group because we defend the family and stand for traditional orthodox Christianity."[26] Capital Research Center states that the SPLC "deliberately mischaracterizes conservatives and tea partiers as "extremists"."[27]
Also smeared as "hate groups" by the SPLC include: the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, Liberty Counsel, and The Social Contract Press (a liberal group publishing environmentalist works such as those of Garrett Hardin, apparently smeared solely because they republished French writer Jean Raspail's 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints which foretells catastrophe befalling Europe from boatloads of illegal immigrants arriving from South Asia).
Another example is the Council of Conservative Citizens, a conservative activist organization that advocates on behalf of states' rights and against immigration, Communism, racial quotas and gun control. SPLC labels the entire organization as "racist" because a minority of members had decades-past connections to segregationist organizations. In fact, the CCC attracts such mainstream speakers such as former Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.), Gov. Kirk Fordice (R-MS) and Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.), and engages in charitable and cultural events.
The SPLC has also recently added new categories to its categories of "hate groups", including Traditionalist Catholics (that is, those who advocate for a return to the Latin Mass), and an "anti-gay" category of groups who do not support the homosexual agenda and/or advocate for homosexuals to come out of that lifestyle.
During the 1990s, the SPLC maintained a separate list of "patriot groups", which although they did not include them as part of their "hate groups" list, carried the same intent: to smear those groups by association, and create the public impression those groups were some sort of threat to society. Their "patriot groups" list included groups opposed to the income tax, groups campaigning for jury and court reform, and the John Birch Society, among others.
In 2010, the SPLC created a list entitled "Meet the Patriots", which included such people such as Chuck Baldwin, Orly Taitz, and Alex Jones as supporters of this "patriot movement".[28] A supplement entitled "The Enablers" was also released, which included Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck, Ron Paul, and Judge Napolitano.[29]
In 2012, the SPLC found four individuals to file a lawsuit against a group providing therapy to homosexual men in order to help them become ex-homosexuals.[30] The SPLC alleges the group violated New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Law in advertising that conversion therapy will help people become ex-homosexuals. Instead of being a pro-consumer lawsuit, as the SLPC implies, the suit is a collateral attack on conversion therapy, and the free exercise of religion.
All of the incidents listed above further prove the SPLC is a left-wing political organization, as well as itself being a hate group, rather than one focused on racism and civil rights.
Infiltration into the classroom
Additionally, the SPLC runs tolerance.org, a website that advocates multiculturalism, the homosexual agenda and "social justice". It is designed with teachers in mind so that these ideas can influence young children in the classroom [31] For instance, teachers can click "classroom activities" then "early grades" and "Tolerance Issues: Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual issues:" or "tolerance issues: Gender Issues" and arrive at a pro-alternative family article, among others.[32] Its magazine is sent to over 400,000 educators, and over 10,000 schools participate in its programs.
Interference in the Sierra Club
In early 2004, Morris Dees filed to run as a candidate for the board of directors of the Sierra Club, a leftist environmentalist organization. Dees, who has no background in environmental issues at all, ran only to use his ballot statement to smear three other candidates for the Sierra Club board, who advocated the Sierra Club address the environmental impact of excessive legal and illegal immigration into the United States. Dees and two other fake board candidates were part of a broader smear campaign by the radical left, which also included MoveOn.org. Dees, MoveOn, and others smeared these three candidates, all of whom were staunch liberals and environmentalists (one of them, former Democratic governor of Colorado, Richard Lamm) solely because they understood excessive immigration numbers to be an environmental issue.[33]
Cooperation with law enforcement
The SPLC has been criticized by civil rights writer Laird Wilcox for essentially functioning as a private intelligence gathering agency for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies, doing activities as a private organization that public law enforcement agencies are barred by law from doing (such as keeping dossiers on people solely because of their political or religious views) because for a government agency to do them would be a violation of civil rights. Wilcox points out the dangers of the FBI and other law enforcement working with ideologically-driven groups like the SPLC, which has its roots in 1960s radical liberal activism, because of the danger this poses that the SPLC's own ideological differences with another group can be treated as a law enforcement issue rather than as an ideological dispute between a left-wing group (the SPLC) and a group on the right. This can, and has, led to attacks on such groups' freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.[34]
Indeed, the SPLC has a history of adding groups to its listing of purported "hate groups" in advance of a government law enforcement campaign against them. The SPLC inexplicably added the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) to its "hate groups" list just before FLDS leader Warren Jeffs was indicted on charges of arranging polygamous underage marriages. The timing of this listing by SPLC was suspicious, as is the accuracy of calling FLDS a "hate group" to begin with, any controversy over their polygamous practices notwithstanding.
The SPLC brags about being an informant for the FBI. Mark Potok, an SPLC spokesman, said, "Law enforcement agencies come to us every day with questions about particular groups." This was done to circumvent policies against domestic political spying.[35] But the FBI has recently disavowed the SPLC by drropping it from being listed as a resource on the FBI web site.[36]
Into the Mainstream controversy
In the summer of 2003, the SPLC's Intelligence Journal carried a feature article entitled "Into the Mainstream", by Chip Berlet. The cover of the journal had an image of Adolf Hitler in front of the American flag and the caption, "Marching toward the Mainstream: the radical Right invades American culture". The implication was that such conservative activists as David Horowitz and his Center for the Study of Popular Culture, as well as other groups including the libertarian Ludwig von Mises Institute, were "radical right" and Hitlerian.[37] This smear was denounced by David Horowitz, who demanded an apology, although none was forthcoming.
For further details see Chip Berlet#Hate speech.
SPLC as film critic
The SPLC has published criticisms of movies they deem to be not politically correct, often smearing the filmmakers in the process and portraying them to be part of a purported "radical right" conspiracy to influence the culture. Films the SPLC has criticized in this manner include Ronald Maxwell's American Civil War epics Gettysburg (1993) and Gods and Generals (2003), and Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ.
