California coach Mike Montgomery was reprimanded by the Pac-12 on Monday for shoving one of his own players in the chest during a game.
The conference did not announce what specific punishment Montgomery received for his actions Sunday night, although he will not be suspended.
"While emotions can run high in competitive environments, Pac-12 coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect credit on the institution and the conference," Commissioner Larry Scott said. "Each Pac-12 coach must be aware that they are an example to student-athletes and other students, and consistent with this influence and visibility, must meet a particularly high standard."
The confrontation happened during a timeout early in the second half of Cal's 76-68 win over Southern California on Sunday night when Montgomery yelled at star guard Allen Crabbe for nonchalant play and then shoved him in the chest with both hands.
Montgomery downplayed the run-in immediately after the game but later issued an apology through the school. On Monday, he acknowledged he went too far trying to get his star player out of a funk.
"I made a mistake," he said in an interview with Pac-12 Networks. "There's no question about that. Allen is so important to us. There's a lot of pressure on Allen. He's got to perform for us. People are holding him, they're pushing for him, they're physical with him. It's very difficult for him. He, like everybody else, I'm sure he gets tired of that.
"Sometimes he tends to take himself out a little bit. Yet for us, he's our leader. We can't play if Allen is not engaged. To his credit, he generally has been but in this particular game I thought he was a little bit out of it."
Crabbe had to be forcibly restrained by teammates and briefly left the court before coming back and leading a comeback victory for the Golden Bears (16-9, 8-5 Pac-12).
Athletic Director Sandy Barbour said in a statement late Sunday night that she understood the game was emotional but Montgomery's actions were inappropriate.
"It is unacceptable for our coaches to have physical contact with student-athletes regardless of the circumstances," she said. "The second-half incident was certainly out of character for Mike Montgomery, and I am confident that something like this will not happen again."
Montgomery tried to make light of the controversy in the postgame news conference, smiling and saying the move motivated Crabbe. He also said he would do it again.
"Worked, didn't it?" Montgomery said of the exchange with Crabbe. "Allen had come down twice went to the wrong side of the court and his guy shot two 3s. I was trying to get him going. Probably overdid it a little bit but Allen's my guy. We can't win if he is not ready to play."
Crabbe, the leading scorer in the Pac-12 with an average of 19.8 points, scored 14 points after the shove and led the Bears back from a 15-point deficit to win.
Montgomery later apologized in a statement released by the school.
"I have great passion for this game and tonight, I let my emotions get away from me in the heat of the moment," Montgomery said. "While my intent was to motivate our student-athletes, my behavior was inappropriate and I apologize for my actions."
Crabbe said after the game that emotions were high at the time and Montgomery was just trying to motivate him.
"Everything's fine," Crabbe said. "It's under the bridge. He's my coach, no hard feelings. We're just going to keep moving on."

DePauw a "Great Fit" for Senior Kate Walker: Indy Star
December 15, 2012
"Kate Walker admits she wasn't prepared to give DePauw much of a look as she was winding down here career at Perry Meridian High School," begins a story in this morning's Indianapolis Star. " 'I was looking at a lot of smaller Division I schools,' said Walker, now a senior point guard for the Tigers. 'I kind of had my mind set with that. DePauw looked at me and I didn't think I wanted to go there. I was a little snooty, I guess.' "
Michael Pointer writes, "But at the urging of her father, Walker decided to visit DePauw. Once there, she felt a bond with longtime coach Kris Huffman and warmed to the idea of playing with a perennial NCAA Division III power, where she could compete for titles instead of sitting on the bench at a larger school."
"That ended up being a huge factor for me, realizing that I had a chance to play for such a great coach and great program," Walker tells the newspaper.
"Now, she's a senior starting point guard for the Tigers, who are off to the best start in program history and ranked No. 1 in the USA Today Division III coaches poll after beating Ohio Wesleyan 71-48 last Saturday," Pointer writes. "DePauw won the 2007 national title, finished third in 2002 and has made nine consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances under Huffman, a two-time national coach of the year."
According to Coach Huffman, "She's a big reason we're 7-0 right now. The stability she's brought at the point guard position has been huge for us."

Enabling proper 2D subtitles to be shown while playing a 3D video with the 3D Vision Video Player (or the Stereoscopic Player) may sound easy for some people, but it seems that much more have trouble setting this up properly, so here is a quick and up to date guide on how to do it. What you need first is to download the latest version of the 3D Vision Video Player or the Stereoscopic Player and the latest version of the ffdshow filter/decoder pack.
Start the 3D Vision Video Player, go to the File menu and select the the Settings option from there. Click on the Decoder setting and extend the list called Other, select the Video Processor option and click on the Add button. From the list with filters you will see in a new window you need to select the ffdshow subtitles filter and click on the Ok button. At this point you are halfway there, you've told the player to load the DirectShow subtitles filter when you play a video, but there are some more things still left to be done in order for everything to start working as you want it and for you to see the subtitles.
Now you need to open a video file with the 3D Vision Video Player in order for the subtitles filter to be loaded, so that you can configure it to display subtitles in 3D properly. You don't need to open a 3D video with subtitles at this point as you will only be configuring the filter, so open the video and hit the pause button, then look in the system tray at the lower right end of the monitor for a small square red icon with the text FFV on it (you may have multiple of these, not just one, if the video is also being decoded with ffdshow). When you move the mouse cursor over these icons you will see a balloon with information, just do a double left click on the one that says ffdshow subtitles filter and you should see a configuration menu like the one above.
When you see the ffdhsow subtitles filter configuration menu you need to put a tick in the box before Subtitles in the left menu, so that you will actually activate the filter to show the subtitles and then click on the Placement menu and put a tick in the checkbox in front of the Stereoscopic option, this will make the subtitles show in both the left and right eye frames, so that they will look properly. That is pretty much all you need to do in order to make the 2D subtitles work and display properly over a 3D video, you can play with the other options if you wish to customize the way the subtitles are being shown. By default the subtitles are shown at screen depth (zero parallax), but with the help of the Parallax slider you can make them appear inside the screen or outside of it, however you should not be playing with this if you don't know what you are doing to prevent yourself from making the subtitles unintentionally harder to read. Just leave them with the default zero parallax, it should work just fine with 95% of the cases and change the subtitles parallax only if a specific movie needs it.
Now you can just open the 3D video file with the 3D Vision Video Player like you do normally and if you have subtitles with the same name as the video file (video.mp4 for example) and a proper text format such as SRT (video.srt for example) in the same folder of the video file they will be loaded automatically and displayed on the screen over the video. If you still don't see the subtitles, they go back and check if you've done everything in the guide properly. Very similar alternative solution is to activate the Subtitles from the ffdshow decoder configuration, however this will be active only when you are using ffdshow for decoding the video. By using the method described above with the ffdhsow subtitles filter you can use different video decoder and still have the subtitles shown, so the use of the external DirectShow subtitles filter is the more flexible solution.

text: White-tailed trogons are medium-sized, stout-bodied, perching birds with short necks, prominent eyes and large square-tipped tails. Their feet and legs are disproportionately small and often hidden by the feathers of their stomachs. Coloration is predominately black, yellow and white, with the males more brilliantly colored than the females. Male trogons have a metallic green and blue wash over black feathers, and the underside of their tails is mostly white with a few black blotches. The underside of females' tails is barred with black and white. Did You Know? Trogons excavate nesting holes in hollow trees or termite mounds. Diet In the wild, the trogon's diet is primarily fruit and insects. At the Aquarium, trogons feed on a variety of fruits, berries, vegetables and insects, as well as commercial soft-bill bird pellets. Size Males and females are similar in size, about 11 to 12 inches, including the tail. Range These trogons range from Panama to northern Bolivia east of the Andes, including most of Brazil. They are found in a variety of habitats, including deciduous, rain and second-growth forests, clearings and along waterways. Population Status White-tailed trogons are thought to be relatively common throughout their range. Predators Birds of prey and snakes are the trogon's primary predators. Fledgling (young) birds are particularly vulnerable to predation because they spend most of their time on low branches or on the ground. Back to the Top

Hello. A short time back, a fellow wanted to sell a Bersa Series 95 that he had purchased new and had fired but 200 factory rounds through. It would come with one extra magazine at what I thought was a fair price.
The pistol was as described and he tossed in a box of Fiocchi 90-gr. JHP ammunition.
This is the pistol and ammunition perchased. The gun came with an extra magazine. Based only on visual examination, that Fiocchi JHP ammunition sure looks like the bullet is Hornady's (excellent) XTP, but I've not checked that assumption for accuracy...yet.
Series 95 vs. Thunder: The guns are quite similar including both magazines, grips and grip screws. Most obvious is the Series 95's lack of a hooked trigger guard, something I prefer, and the lack of verticle grooves on both the front and rear grip straps. The entired Series 95 appears to be electroless nickled where my Thunder has the dark finished slide and small parts. Sights appear the same on both. The rib atop the Series 95 has horizontal striations only, unlike the fine knurling on the Thunder's rib. Trigger pulls on both pistols were equivalent and both have the magazine disconnect. Both guns "felt" the same except for the lack of vertical grooves on the Series 95. The magazine floorplate is slightly different than that of the Thunder's magazines, though my extra magazine's appeared to be identical.
I figured that there wouldn't be much if any difference in shooting between the Series 95 pistol and the Thunder.
Shooting: Shooting was done at varying distances not only to check accuracy but handling potential. The latter will always have some degree of subjectivity present as what feels "right" to one person, might not to another. Most shots were fired from a standing position using a two-hand hold. A few groups were fired seated with braced wrists.
Eight shots of the Fiocchi 90-gr. JHP grouped nicely in this off-hand group at ten yards. Each of these shots was fired from the single-action mode and in slow-fire.
Federal's 90-gr. "Classic" JHP grouped very nicely from the pistol. This 15-yard group was fired from a seated position and in slow-fire with my wrists braced.
Each shot in this group was fired double-action. I simply decocked between shots. They were fired from a standing position with a two-hand hold. Not slow-fire but fired at a fairly rapid cadence when a "flash sight picture" was obtained.
Fired from a standing position and using a two-hand hold, five sets of controlled pairs were fired. The first shot was fired double-action with the follow-up in single-action. Starting from a low ready position, average time was 1.41 seconds, quickest being a couple of hundreths less with the longest being about 1.7 seconds. I have little doubt that others can certainly do better, but I think this is fairly representative of my limited abilities with the little shooter. Ammunition used was Georgia Arms' 95-gr. FMJ sold under their "canned heat" label.
I finished up with a 15-yard group fired off-hand and standing with a two-hand hold with some older Federal 90-gr. HydraShoks I happened to have.
The pistol was fired with the following ammunition:
50 rounds of Federal 90-gr. JHP
40 rounds of Federal 90-gr. HydraShok
50 rounds of Remington UMC 95-gr. FMJ
150 rounds of Georgia Arms 95-gr. FMJ
25 rounds of Fiocchi 90-gr. JHP
Observations: When cycling the slide by hand to chamber rounds, all of the ammunition listed above fed smoothly. Ejection was positive and primer strikes were nicely centered and plenty deep for reliable ignition.
I had expected flawless function as has consistently been the case with my Bersa Thunder.
I did not get it. There were numerous failures to feed (always the last shot) and frequently the slide did not remain locked back after the last round was fired as it should.
Sadly, this was frequently the case when the gun tried to chamber the last round in the magazine.
Interestingly, neither of these malfunctions occurred with the Fiocchi JHP.
I began to compare some of the ammunition.
On the left is Remington UMC 95-gr. FMJ having a LOA of 0.975". On the right is GA's version at a shorter 0.940".
Shown here is Federal's 90-gr. JHP, which had the shortest LOA, measuring 0.927".
I figured that this little gun simply preferred ammunition within a tight range of lengths overall.
Wrong! I am embarrassed to admit that I did not note the culprit until cleaning the Series 95 that evening.
The top magazine is the extra that came with the gun. While it resembles the Bersa factory magazine shown below, it is not and has been relegated to "File 13". Note that the factory magazine has printing visible on it and that the aftermarket doesn't. The non-factory magazine in this case also had a dark-colored follower. I tried the gun with this factory magazine and two other extra Bersa magazines I had at hand and as with the nickled magazine that came with the pistol, function was now 100%.
Excepting the poor performance from the aftermarket magazine, shooting results and reliability in the extreme were about as expected. I have heard/read that some folks consider the Bersa .380's to be "junk pistols". I do not. I have had and continue to have very good luck with the one I've owned for several years now and expect to do the same with the Series 95.
(Please note that I am not recommending the Bersa .380's for self-protection, but neither am I condemning it. That decision is one for the individual. While I personally prefer a little "more" than what the .380 delivers ballistically, I really do like several makes and models of pistols chambered in this caliber and I have to admit that these little dumplings are almighty easy to have at hand, something that is not nearly so easily said with some more potent (and larger) handguns.)
As has been the case with my Bersa Thunder (and quite a few I've seen shot at various CHL qualifications), this pistol is proving itself reliable in the extreme, an essential characteristic for any firearm intended for self-protection.
POA closed matched POI at the distances I shot the gun and I made zero horizontal changes to the rear sight; it remains centered.
I will be hanging on to this little popper just like my Thunder. I have couple of other more pricey 380's lying about and I enjoy shooting them to be sure, but I enjoy the Bersa's just as much. Now and again, I'll find myself toting a .380 ACP pistol, either as a backup or by itself when nothing more can be had. In the past, it somehow always wound up being the little Thunder.
Now it will be either the Bersa Thunder or the Series 95. I really like 'em both.

Re: Shooting the Bersa Series 95 .380 Auto...
Nice report. I've got the Bersa Thunder DLX model with the 9 round mag. Bought it at a Gander Mountain for the same price as a regular BT because they were out of stock. Mine has been flawless through abot 1000 rounds. Good little guns and easy to carry IWB.

Information Security: Connecting The Dots
Cisco announced in late June that it has partnered with some of the security industry's vendors to bring comprehensive security to enterprise systems, networks and data. Cisco intends to deliver on this promise through a Cisco-validated integration of systems that includes the company's own platform coupled with supporting third-party technologies.
This is an important milestone for the information security industry. CIOs & CSOs alike should take note of this collaborative move. Upon a successful delivery of a validated set of integrated systems by Cisco and their supporting partners, CIOs can finally develop a comprehensive information security program that can actually be implemented without vendor-chasing and technology-juggling. By following the solution guidelines and related implementation guides, information chiefs and their staff will be able to connect the dots that are appropriate for their environment, their business, and their operational risk.
This announcement recognizes the simple fact that, even with a tremendous amount of market consolidation, we still see hundreds of security vendors and thousands of technology possibilities from which organizations can choose to secure their systems and information. This will likely remain the state of security for a long time to come as new threats surface, new environment and infrastructure technologies are revealed, and new business models emerge.
The real value behind Cisco's announcement is brought to light through a data point captured in its press release announcing the introduction of its Validated Secure Borderless Network Systems initiative. Here, Cisco quotes IDC, citing a February 2010 presentation entitled "The End of Useless Information: Examining the Multi-Pronged Nature of Current & Future Attacks." IT managers surveyed by IDC in that report said that some of the top IT security management challenges at their organization consisted of:
I would suspect that most organizations have experienced some, if not all, of these challenges. I would suspect that the number of organizations that have found a collection of point products that actually work together in support of a comprehensive information security program would be few and far between.
Time-Consuming RFIs and RFQs
Organizations generally settle for the mundane and frustrating task of putting together time-consuming requests for information and quotes (RFIs and RFQs) with an aim to select multiple technologies designed to handle very specific security requirements. These choices can include a network firewall or UTM appliance, multiple endpoint protections layers, an identity management system, various mobile device and wireless network protections, data loss prevention (endpoint, network, and discovery), and the list goes on. Even if an organization successfully identifies and acquires a 'full set' of technologies, navigating the implementation, defining and enforcing a cohesive policy, and combating the incompatibilities and/or inconsistencies amongst them would have likely become the primary task at hand. There have been attempts to either reduce or eliminate some of the challenges associated with having so many technologies to choose from and manage -- driven by requirements revolving around a particular business scenario and/or a specific information security program project.
While there may be other examples, I have had direct experience with the following two examples.
The first, SecureIT Alliance, is a solid example of a direct attempt at bringing multiple products together. The SecureIT Alliance is an initiative formed by Microsoft and driven mainly by individual participating vendors. This consortium of security vendors identifies business problems that can be overcome through the integration of their individual offerings. In order for these solutions to come to market, the vendors identify a problem, decide on how to work together, and then attempt to approach the market with their integrated offering. This initiative has experienced some momentum where multiple vendors have come together to provide solutions aimed at solving specific information security problems. However, if the vendors (oftentimes, competitors) don't take the initiative to work together, today's enterprises are left to do the dirty work themselves.
The second example, the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) market, is an indirect approach at solving the same problem. By definition, SIEM vendors are not tasked with providing a selection of integrated products that work together to solve specific information security problems. The SIEM vendors do focus on bringing together multiple products from a data collection, analysis, and reporting perspective, and this is certainly a step in the right direction.
We may see further advancements of collaboration by SIEM vendors, most likely in areas such as integrated response and control. However, since the business success of the SIEM providers relies primarily on supporting a community of often-competing vendors in order to deliver the value they've promised to their customers, his market will likely remain relatively static.
Cisco has chosen a different tack from these two previous attempts at addressing the need for cross-vendor collaboration and interoperability. The company is taking clear, direct ownership of the problem, embracing the reality, and embracing the responsibility to identify the business scenarios and the related business challenges associated with achieving information security.
To use an analogy presented during Cisco's June 24, 2010 media briefing by Pat Calhoun, General Manager, Cisco Security Systems Unit, "airplane manufacturers rely on hundreds of partners to design and build their planes, but they wouldn't expect the airlines -- their customers -- to put the planes together themselves." Applying this analogy to information security, why should each vendor expect the enterprise to piece together an information security program?
Cisco promises to tackle this daunting task of validating the integration of a multitude of information security technologies, providing a trusted platform and the blueprints required to implement an end-to-end information security program. The company is essentially giving enterprises and their CIOs/CSOs a fighting chance to succeed.
The notion of working together with partners is not a new model for Cisco. "The Cisco Developer Network has already experienced success in the areas of telecommunications and wireless integrations, we will simply extend this model to the security space to deliver on these security solution integrations," said Calhoun. It's refreshing to see a vendor step up to the information security canvas, taking the time and energy necessary to connect the information security dots such that many more of our enterprises can succeed in implementing a holistic information security program. It appears we are moving toward a clear path to achieve end-to-end security. Is this a path you'll be looking to take?

When most people think of disease researchers, they think of heavily-masked scientists cordoning off contagious patients before they spread disease to innocent bystanders — you know, like in CSI or Contagion. They don't think "Vomiting Larry." Yet when it comes to battling the current, especially nasty outbreak of norovirus, this robotic head is on the forefront of medical research.
If you have been lucky enough not to catch it, the virus formerly known as the Norwalk virus is a stomach bug that can make you ill so quickly that Ian Goodfellow, a researcher at the University of Cambridge, called it "the Ferrari of viruses" in an interview with CBS News. "It can sweep through an environment very, very quickly. You can be feeling quite fine one minute and within several hours suffer continuous vomiting and diarrhea," he said. The disease infects about 21 million people annual and renders them all completely miserable for two to three days. In extreme cases it can be fatal — the norovirus kills about 800 people every year.
(MORE: New Strain of Norovirus Is Circulating in the U.S.)
The Centers for Disease Control report that the bug has caused 140 local outbreaks in the U.S. since September, and that was before a new strain arrived — highly contagious, although not as deadly — and prompted infections to jump thirty percent in December. The norovirus has the unfortunate ability to be able to survive outside the human body for long periods of time and remain viable long after most viruses would be rendered harmless. That means that whoever is tasked with cleaning up after a sufferer has to do a very thorough job; otherwise the stomach virus can easily spread to its next victim.
That's where Vomiting Larry comes in.
Created by British researcher Catherine Makison-Booth to determine how the norovirus spreads via emesis — a.k.a. projectile vomiting — Larry's unique skill set allows Makison-Booth to study spray patterns and determine the best way to effectively clean up afterwards in order to stop the spread of the virus. She expects this to be especially useful in battling outbreaks in close quarters where the disease spreads rapidly, such as cruise ships, oil rigs and nursing homes.
Let's hope that Vomiting Larry can work quickly. This month, a norovirus outbreak on the Queen Mary 2 took out 204 passengers and 16 crew members, according to the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program.

* grt = Gross Receipts Tax. In this state, the corporation is required to pay the gross receipts tax on each sale instead of a traditional income tax based on its earnings. The effect is that a percentage of the total revenue or gross receipts for each sale has to be paid to the state as tax. The gross receipts tax is much like a Value Added Tax, only for businesses rather than individuals. Four states impose gross receipt taxes, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and Washington.

- Sales Tax includes food and services where applicable
- Real tax taxes are based on the local median home price

Includes Cost of Living compares for child care, utilities, transportation, health, taxes, housing for home owners vs renters, weather, insurance premiums and so much more.
Before moving to a new city you want to know how much it will cost to live there. "Cost of living" is the amount of money you need to maintain a certain lifestyle in a given place. The price of goods and services vary from one city to another, calculating the cost of living will help you determine how much more or less you need to make and help you factor in expenses.
The expenses that go in to determining cost of living include housing prices for renters or homeowners, housing affordability, entertainment costs, transportation expenses, food prices, and taxes.
A cost of living index allows you to compare what it costs to live in one place against another, helping you get a glimpse of how far your money will go before you move. For example the cost of living in New York City is almost twice that of Portland, Oregon.
Our goal with the Cost of Living Calculator is to help you feel more confident in deciding where to live and help you find your best place to live.

I got this problem
The last method to be added is a method that takes an employee name as argument and returns a list containing all journals that the employee is to see. You may use the following method header:
public ArrayList<Journal>getJournalList(String empName)
Normally I would just use the following:
public List<ArrayList<String>> getJournalList() { return journalList; }
But when i need to return a list containing all journals that employee is to see, how do you do that? Any help or tips would be much appreciated.

I'm already sick of the term "fiscal cliff." It's not that I don't understand the importance of the problem, it's just that the term itself is meant to create fear, and that fear can make people irrational when discussing the financial problem our country is facing and the way to address the problem.
I'm also sick of it because now any political deadline is going to become a "cliff," and the same fear that the term "fiscal cliff" has struck in our hearts and minds will become associated with it.
There is now a media-proclaimed "dairy cliff" looming, and I hope that people will be rational about the situation instead of panicky. Here's what's going on. The farm bill that Congress has been debating for what seems like years now is not likely to be passed before the end of the year. If a new farm bill is not put in place, according to The Washington Post "the country's farm policy reverts back to laws dating from 1949." In 1949, the law called for a minimum price on milk, and if there is no intervention, the price of a gallon of milk could increase as much as $3.
That would almost double the price of a gallon of milk, which of course would decrease demand. Dairy farmers will be in real trouble if this happens. But, do you know who won't be in trouble? Milk consumers. Earlier this year I said the following when I wrote "You're not a bad mom if your kid doesn't drink milk."
Milk, in any form, is not a dietary necessity. If your child never drinks a sip of cow's milk, you're not a bad parent. You don't need to offer chocolate- or strawberry-flavored milk; you can offer water instead. The main nutrients found in milk like calcium, potassium and vitamins A & D are found in many other foods. If you serve a variety of fresh, colorful produce, beans and nuts, the nutrients will be covered. Adding in lean cuts of chicken and fish can help, too, but even those are not necessary.
To set the record straight, we drink milk in our family. But, if we couldn't afford it or if it was suddenly unavailable, everything would be okay. There would be nothing to be concerned about when it came to the health of my family, especially the health of my boys. Their bones would not turn to rubber. And, my 40-something-year-old hip would not break due to a sudden onset of osteoporosis.
So when you hear the term "dairy cliff" being bandied around in the media, don't freak out. All of the nation's cows are not about to be herded off the side of a mountain to fall to their sudden death. Milk prices may increase. They may not. Even if the farm bill is not passed, Congress can still create a temporary fix for the dairy industry specifically to stop the price increase.
So don't fall for the idea that this "dairy cliff" is worthy of panicking if you're a milk consumer. It's not. What should happen now that the milk problem has been brought to the public's attention is a discussion about the importance of a fair and balanced farm bill, not a freak-out about oh-so-necessary milk being financially out of reach for most people.

One thought on ""It Gets Better" – Sacramento Public Library"
Dan Kleinman of SafeLibraries
I love the sentiment.
However, "It Gets Better" comes from a guy who bullies people regularly, including students, by the hundreds, while promoting anti-bullying: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/dan-savage-at-anti-bullying-event-we-can-learn-to-ignore-the-bullsht-in-the-bible-about-gay-people/
I know SacLib is in no way responsible for the "pansy-ass" "bullshit" comments of the "It Gets Better" creator. But his bullying tactics make their important message seem less credible, more hypocritical, even though I know that is not their intention, but the repetition of the "It's Gets Better" message on the day the creator of that message went on the attack again really does their video no justice. I hope they will choose an anti-bullying advocate to model who does not bully others to get his message across.
