New Driver Distraction Data Shows
New Driver Distraction Data Shows
1 in 4 Young People in Europe Have Taken 'Selfie' While Driving, New Driver Distraction Data Shows
• A new Ford-sponsored Driver Distraction survey shows that one in four young drivers have taken a "selfie" at the wheel, half of those surveyed admit taking a photo on the move
• The survey of 7,000 smartphone users aged 18-24 from across Europe also reveals one in four have posted an update on social media or checked social media sites while driving
• Ford is now highlighting the risks of using smartphones behind the wheel as part of its free driver training programme Ford Driving Skills for Life
• Nearly all surveyed acknowledge the dangers, young men are most likely to ignore the risks
CORK, Aug. 6, 2014 – From the World Cup-winning German football team, to Barack Obama, to the Pope, nearly everyone it seems has been caught up in the incredible rise of the "selfie" – self-portraits snapped from smartphones.
But a new Ford-sponsored survey reveals that one in four young people in Europe have taken a "selfie" while driving – a highly distracting activity – and nearly half of young drivers admit to having used their smartphone to snap a photograph behind the wheel.*
The survey of 7,000 smartphone users aged 18-24 from across Europe also showed one in four people have used social media sites behind the wheel; and that young male drivers were the most likely to ignore the risks. Nearly all drivers surveyed agreed the activities were dangerous.
Car crashes are the leading cause of death for young drivers and Ford last year introduced to Europe the award-winning Ford Driving Skills for Life programme to provide hands-on training to more than 5,000 18-24-year-olds and online training for thousands more. The company is now expanding the programme to include the dangers of taking a "selfie" and other smartphone and social media activities behind the wheel.
"Taking a 'selfie' on a smartphone has for many young people quickly become an integral part of everyday life – but it's the last thing you should be doing behind the wheel of a car," said Jim Graham, manager, Ford Driving Skills for Life. "It is deeply worrying that so many young drivers admit to taking a photo while driving and we will be doing all we can to highlight the potential dangers through driver education."
There have this year been a number of car accidents resulting in injury and even death where drivers are reported to have taken "selfies" shortly before tragedy struck. The publication of driving "selfies" to social media channels has given rise to hashtags, which draw attention to posts, such as #drivingselfie.
According to the survey, British drivers are the most likely to snap a "selfie" on the move (33 per cent), ahead of their counterparts in Germany (28 per cent), France (28 per cent), Romania (27 per cent), Italy (26 per cent), Spain (18 per cent), and Belgium (17 per cent).
Germans drivers are the most likely to use social media apps or websites (35 per cent) ahead of those from the U.K. (32 per cent), Belgium (26 per cent), Romania (25 per cent), France (23 per cent), Italy (21 per cent), and Spain (8 per cent).
Ford has found that snapping a "selfie" at the wheel can distract a driver for 14 seconds, and checking social media channels can distract for 20 seconds – long enough for a car travelling at 100 km/h (62 mph) to cover the length of five football pitches.
According to research carried out in North America by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), adjusting hair using a rear-view mirror can distract for four seconds, and dialling a hand-held phone can distract for seven seconds. **
Ford Driving Skills for Life was launched in the U.S. 10 years ago and has provided hands-on training to more than 100,000 young drivers around the world. So far in Europe, the programme has been rolled out in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain, and the U.K.
As part of the training, attendees will in the future undertake slow speed manoeuvres while taking a "selfie" on a closed facility with a professional instructor beside them at the wheel. Expert guidance also is provided in the importance of early hazard recognition, and good speed and space management.
"The students can be a little blasé at first but afterwards, when they see the cones that have been flattened as they tried to take a 'selfie', it brings home the message very effectively," Graham added. "The potential consequences of taking a 'selfie' behind the wheel are very sobering, and it is crucial to get that message home to young drivers as effectively as possible."
A previous survey of young drivers conducted by Ford last year showed that most had driven in excess of the speed limit; almost half ate or drank at the wheel; and 40 per cent had used a mobile phone while driving. ***

Second in a series evaluating Raiders' position groups as staff and scouts visit Indianapolis starting today for the scouting combine:
Starters: RB Michael Bush, FB Gary Russell. Backups: RB Darren McFadden, RB Justin Fargas, FB Luke Lawton, FB Oren O'Neal, FB Marcel Reece.
Review: For the third straight year, there are rumblings of the Raiders dumping players, and it's worth remembering neither of the previous two supposed fire sales came off as planned.
The problem?
Even if the Raiders want to make changes, it's tough to do it with players who aren't at the peak of production. Bush led Raiders rushers with 589 yards and a 4.8 average but never seems to have caught the fancy of coach Tom Cable. Privately, Bush's propensity to remove himself when he's on a roll, halting momentum, rubs the coaching staff the wrong way. For all his talent, Bush's production is not liable to bring back much more than what they expended to get him _ a fourth round draft pick.
McFadden would be a considerable salary dump, but he's been a huge disappointment and can be thankful JaMarcus Russell is around to overshadow two seasons which have approached bust status because of injury problems (turf toe as a rookie, arthroscopic knee surgery in second year) and an inability to break tackles as evidenced by a puny 3.4 yards per carry average. He looks to be a gifted receiver, but the Raiders passing game is so poor he's yet to be fully exploited in that way.
As for Fargas, he's entering the final year of his contract, missed the last two games because of injury, and for all his heart and leadership, no team is going to give up much for an used crash test dummy.
The rest of the position is populated with fullbacks _ Lawton is a restricted free agent still under suspension and it's conceivable he's out of the picture. O'Neal's catastrophic knee injury as a rookie wasn't sufficiently healed for him to be successful last year. He'll need to show something this year. The Raiders don't seem to know what they want to do with Reece, playing him at fullback, tight end and even wide receiver at the end of the season.
Russell is a tweener not big enough to be a big-blocking fullback, not nifty enough to be a fulltime runner.
Contract status: Russell is a fourth-year restricted free agent, Lawton is a third-year restricted free agent and also under suspension for the first two games of the 2010 season should he re-sign for violating the policy on performance enhancing drugs.
What's next: No doubt Al Davis and new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson have had long conversations about how the Ravens made the most of Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and La'Ron McClain.
Baltimore rushed for 2,200 yards, (fifth in the NFL) a 4.7 yards per carry average and 22 touchdowns. The Raiders were 21st with 1,701 yards, a 4.1 average and an incomprehensibly low seven rushing touchdowns in 16 games.
And that was supposed to be their strength.
With Fargas near the end of the line, the Raiders must decide if McFadden and Bush can become the kind of 1-2 punch popular in today's NFL. Or they could simply make Bush the lead ballcarrier and convert McFadden into a Ronnie Harmon-type receiver out of the backfield _ provided they upgrade their passing attack to take advantage of his skills.
The third option?
Go in a different direction, deal McFadden or Bush and bring in some new blood through the draft, free agency or trade.

I sent some info to someone who made this post on a forum
"Ritchie got me onto this by sending me a link. I installed it last night thinking it would be some average music service, its not its brilliant.
This is a new service that is totally free and legal, funded by the odd advert that plays between songs every 30 mins or so and which only last a few seconds. You don't download the songs it streams them but in very high quality and instantly and it allows you to create playlists simply by right clicking or dragging a song.
You can also send links to people that also have the software or create collabrative lists, could be quite useful here.
Anyhow here's the link http://www.spotify.com/en/ "
It'll not work in the USofA and in certain other countries you need an invite ... however in the UK at the moment you can download it without an invitation.

Discussant's Response to "Auditor Evidential Planning Judgments" Robert H. Temkin Arthur Young & Co. It is indeed an honor for me to participate in this symposium as a discussant and a special pleasure to follow Professor Wright. Dr. Wright is Harold A. Mock Professor at The Northeastern University, which is, of course, located in Boston, my once and, I'm glad to say, future home. Harold Mock was the managing partner of the Boston office of Arthur Young when I joined the firm in 1964. He was the consummate professional, an astute manager, a superb technician, and a man of the greatest personal and professional integrity. He was very good to this junior auditor and I remember him with great affection. It is good to see the professorship that carries Harold's name in the hands of so distinguished an academician. This is my first experience as a discussant at an academic conference, so I have chosen to approach this assignment in a manner similar to that of a concurring partner on an audit, something with which I am familiar. As a result, however, my remarks focus more on the problems I had with the paper and the case study rather than on the good things accomplished and presented by the researchers in the paper. Actually, I really want to talk about only a few things related to this case study and paper. I want to discuss some possible causes of the results as well as the conclusions of the research. Designing a case study to deal with as complex a matter as an inventory audit is a difficult task and Drs. Wright and Mock have done an excellent job. Nonetheless, the information is not, and probably could not be, complete. Accordingly, the auditor must answer a number of questions on his or her own, and these questions are not unimportant. For example, why does a client with perpetual records and strong controls take a physical inventory every year? What has been the experience with the physical inventory? Are "book to physical" differences common or uncommon? How reliable are the perpetual records? How often are they reconciled to the financial records? Further, the case study does not address in detail how the physical inventory is to be compiled and priced, or provide the ability, except intuitively, to assess the risk of errors in compiling the inventory, errors in extension or footing, or the risk in incorrect prices being used. The auditor also needs to guess, in this case, how labor and overhead are applied to the inventory and whether the case includes auditing these components of the inventory. As I said, the case study is excellent. If all the information were to be provided, the case would be unreadable. Nonetheless, when auditors need to make assumptions about the risks of certain types of errors (stated otherwise, about certain financial statement assertions), the auditors will, of course, differ and produce different audit approaches. 115

I found the results of a study that came out of the 2010 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium both important and puzzling. The study, entitled "Influence of Hospital Factors, Physician Factors and Type of Health Insurance on Receipt of Immediate Post-mastectomy Reconstruction in Young Women with Breast Cancer," was puzzling to me because it questioned why women would wait for reconstruction after a mastectomy. Although I agree with research that indicates that women who have reconstruction immediately after mastectomy fare better psychologically and have a better body image, I think for many women the option to review reconstruction after treatment — once breast cancer is less of a threat — is more favorable. To me, the important result was that the findings called for a change in policy so all women regardless of insurance have access to immediate reconstruction.
The study, presented by Dawn Hershman, MD, of Columbia University Medical Center in New York, found that less than 25 percent of all women who have a mastectomy undergo reconstructive surgery. One of the biggest factors affecting a woman's decision to undergo the reconstructive procedure was insurance status. The researchers also found that 67.5 percent of women under the age of 50 with good insurance underwent immediate reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy. Other factors that influenced a woman's decision included the number of mastectomies performed by the surgeon and the hospital itself. Insurance status by far was the leading determinant in whether a woman underwent immediate post mastectomy reconstruction.
As soon as I learned that I needed a mastectomy for stage 3 breast cancer, I began thinking about reconstruction. My surgeon referred me to a reconstructive surgeon, and I contacted my insurance to determine if I was eligible for the procedure. I was advised by the doctors to have the reconstruction performed immediately following the mastectomy. The plastic surgeon was wonderful and highly recommended but still something didn't feel right; I needed more time to review my options. In addition, I was overwhelmed with the diagnosis, and feeling like my life had been hit by an atomic bomb. I am so glad I waited.
It was a year and a half later when I had reconstructive surgery. I researched every option and met with four plastic surgeons before deciding on the DIEP flap procedure at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. By that time, I had tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation and was having the reconstruction performed after prophylactic mastectomy of the other breast. Had I gone ahead with the implant surgery after the initial mastectomy, my options for the double reconstruction may have been limited.
The researchers call for a change in the public policy that would provide the opportunity for all women to have immediate reconstruction. This is something I strongly agree with. All women need access to breast cancer screening, treatment and reconstruction. In a nation that has the best healthcare in the world, to deny any woman treatment and body-improving surgery for breast cancer can only be described as cruel. Beyond that, I am sticking to my policy to advise women to take as much time as they need to deal with the emotional turmoil of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment before deciding on the reconstructive surgery of their choice — even if that surgery has to wait a year and a half.
Wishing I were in San Antonio,

28. August – 1. September 2017 in Hamburg, Deutschland
Ort: Helmut Schmidt Auditorium, Bucerius Law School, Jungiusstr. 6, 20355 Hamburg
Vielen Dank für Ihre Teilnahme an der 4ICESM.
Abstracts und hochgeladene Präsentationen finden Sie weiterhin unter www.4icesm.eu
Conference keynote: Thomas Stocker (University of Bern, Switzerland)
I. Clouds, circulation and climate sensitivity (Convenors: Bjorn Stevens und Sandrine Bony)
Keynote presentations by Amy Clement (University of Miami, USA) und Steve Sherwood (University of New South Wales, Australia)
Session description: The link between clouds and circulation are at the heart of many of climate science's enduring riddles: How rapidly and how much will the Earth warm for a given forcing? How will circulations, from the storm tracks to the tropical rain-bands, change with warming, or how different were they in the past? What role does convective aggregation play in our climate system and does it matter for climate sensitivity? To what extent do cloud feedback processes also influence climate variability? These questions are at the heart of the Grand Science Challenge on Clouds Circulation and Climate Sensitivity and motivate our session. Observational and process studies that touch on these questions in ways that link to Earth System Modelling are also very welcome.
II. Decadal prediction and attribution (Convenors: Jochem Marotzke und Gabi Hegerl)
Keynote presentations by Ed Hawkins (University of Reading, UK)und Friederike Otto (University Oxford, UK)
Session description: While decadal timescales are important for adaptation decisions, predicting and attributing climate variations on decadal timescales remains challenging. Climate shows pronounced decadal variations, most recently expressed in the so-called 'hiatus' period. Decadal climate variability also shows a strong imprint on the global water cycle, where regional variations link to annual and decadal variability, and on a changing risk of climate extremes. This session focuses on predicting and attributing climate variations on decadal timescales. We encourage submissions on attributing climate variations and change to external forcing and climate variability, and on predicting climate on decadal timescales, both using initial conditions and using forcing and constraints based on observations. We particularly encourage submissions that touch on predicting and attributing the changing risk of extreme weather and climate events.
III. Modelling past climate changes (Convenors: Martin Claußen und Pascale Braconnot)
Invited speakers: Sandy Harrison (University of Reading, UK) und Peter Huybers (Harvard University, Cambridge, USA)
Session description: Modelling and reconstructing past climate change is the key to understanding Earth system dynamics at time scales beyond decades and centuries on which slow processes such as ice sheet dynamics and migration of vegetation unfold. But paleo climate science also challenges our understanding of short-term Earth system dynamics evolving under different forcing and boundary conditions. The notorious underestimation of the amplitude of tropical monsoon changes in response to different orbital forcing is one example. Syntheses of high-resolution paleo records also allow to assess the diversity of interannual to multidecadal events and their role in extreme regional conditions. Particularly interesting are tipping points, i.e., accelerated changes into a new climate and ecosystem states driven by positive feedbacks. Hence this session invites contributions from the broad spectrum of Earth system modelling of past climates and past climate change. Contributions combining model results, paleo records and explicitly modeling of past climate sensors (isotopes, ocean tracers, tree-ring, speleothems…) to test ideas related to the WCRP Grand Science Challenges are likely to have particular resonance.
IV. Carbon feedbacks in the climate system (Convenors: Tatiana Ilyina und Pierre Friedlingstein)
Invited speaker: Anna Michalak (Stanford University, USA)und Pedro Monteiro (CSIR, Pretoria, South Africa)
Session description: The increase of atmospheric CO2, and hence climate change, is controlled by anthropogenic emissions, but also by biogeochemical processes that currently remove anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to limit climate change. These mitigating effects may significantly reduce in a warmer climate, amplifying risk of climate change and impacts. What are the drivers of land and ocean carbon sinks? What are the origins of variability of carbon sinks and is this variability predictable? How will the carbon cycle and feedbacks operate in a warming climate and how different were they in the past? What is the potential for amplification of climate change over the 21st century via climate-carbon cycle feedbacks? How do greenhouse gases fluxes from highly vulnerable carbon reservoirs respond to changing climate? These questions are profound to the WCRP Grand Challenge on Carbon Feedbacks in the Climate System. In our session we invite contributions from modeling, observational and process studies that address these questions in ways that link to Earth System Modeling.
Übergreifende eingeladene Vorträge zur Geschichte, Philosophie und Soziologie der Erdsystemwissenschaft:
Amy Dahan Dalmedico(CNRS, France);Matthias Heymann (Århus University, Denmark);Reiner Grundmann(University of Nottingham, UK); Johannes Lenhard (Universität Bielefeld, Germany); Wendy Parker (University of Durham, UK); Simone Rödder (Universität Hamburg, Germany); Lenny Smith (London School of Economics, UK).
Session description: This session aims to connect and challenge the world of Earth System Modelling with historical, philosophical and sociological understandings of climate science and its role in society. Sociologists have recently reframed climate change as a wicked social problem rather than a matter of scientific consensus. The relation between understanding and prediction as two arguably conflicting goals in Earth System Modelling is inherently a philosophical and historical issue. Individual presentations look at the historical development of the field, its epistemic basis, its function in society and its relation to policy contexts, which shape not only international climate policy but also how scientists position their careers and research.

The Zebra Cab is a special taxi featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The Zebra Cab is a modified Cabbie, painted in a yellow-and-black zebra pattern, with darker metal trims and bumpers. Similar to the Kaufman Cab, it emits the sound of a high-performance engine. It has superior performance to both the standard Cabbie and Kaufman Cab, with slightly improved top speed, acceleration and handling. The key benefit of the Zebra Cab is in taxi missions; passengers in a Zebra Cab will never complain about the time taken for a journey.
The Zebra Cab first appears in the final Kaufman Cabs mission, "Cabmaggedon", where it is driven by the owner of Vice City Cabs. He attempts to run down the player, and must be killed, either by destroying his cab, or by firing through the windshield at him. After the final Kaufman Cabs mission, the Zebra Cab spawns inside the cab depot.

This article possibly contains original research. (February 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
It has been suggested that this article be merged with Attribution bias. (Discuss) Proposed since April 2019.
Humans are motivated to assign causes to their actions and behaviors.[1] In social psychology, attribution is the process by which individuals explain the causes of behavior and events. Models to explain this process are called attribution theory.[2] Psychological research into attribution began with the work of Fritz Heider in the early 20th century, and the theory was further advanced by Harold Kelley and Bernard Weiner.
Gestalt psychologist Fritz Heider is often described as the early-20th-century "father of attribution theory".[3]
In his 1920s dissertation, Heider addressed the problem of phenomenology: why do perceivers attribute the properties such as color to perceived objects, when those properties are mental constructs? Heider's answer that perceivers attribute that which they "directly" sense - vibrations in the air for instance - to an object they construe as causing those to sense data. "Perceivers faced with sensory data thus see the perceptual object as 'out there', because they attribute the sensory data to their underlying causes in the world."[4]
Heider extended this idea to attributions about people: "motives, intentions, sentiments ... the core processes which manifest themselves in overt behavior".[4]
External attribution, also called situational attribution, refers to interpreting someone's behavior as being caused by the situation that the individual is in. For example, if one's car tire is punctured, it may be attributed to a hole in the road; by making attributions to the poor condition of the highway, one can make sense of the event without any discomfort that it may in reality have been the result of their own bad driving.[5]
Ex. A child attributes their feelings to the weather outside their house; it is raining outside, because it is raining outside the child feels sad.
Internal attribution, or dispositional attribution, refers to the process of assigning the cause of behavior to some internal characteristic, like ability and motivation, rather than to outside forces.[6] This concept has overlap with the Locus of control, in which individuals feel they are personally responsible for everything that happens to them.
Ex. A child attributes the weather to their feelings; the child is feeling sad, because the child is feeling sad it is raining outside.
From the book The Psychology of Interpersonal Relations (1958), Fritz Heider tried to explore the nature of interpersonal relationship, and espoused the concept of what he called "common sense" or "naïve psychology". In his theory, he believed that people observe, analyze, and explain behaviors with explanations. Although people have different kinds of explanations for the events of human behaviors, Heider found it is very useful to group explanation into two categories; Internal (personal) and external (situational) attributions.[7] When an internal attribution is made, the cause of the given behavior is assigned to the individual's characteristics such as ability, personality, mood, efforts, attitudes, or disposition. When an external attribution is made, the cause of the given behavior is assigned to the situation in which the behavior was seen such as the task, other people, or luck (that the individual producing the behavior did so because of the surrounding environment or the social situation). These two types lead to very different perceptions of the individual engaging in a behavior.[8]
Correspondent inferences state that people make inferences about a person when their actions are freely chosen, are unexpected, and result in a small number of desirable effects.[2] According to Edward E. Jones and Keith Davis' correspondent inference theory, people make correspondent inferences by reviewing the context of behavior. It describes how people try to find out individual's personal characteristics from the behavioral evidence. People make inferences on the basis of three factors; degree of choice, expectedness of behavior, and effects of someone's behaviors. For example, we believe we can make stronger assumptions about a man who gives half of his money to charity, than we can about one who gives $5 to charity. An average person would not want to donate as much as the first man because they would lose a lot of money. By donating half of his money, it is easier for someone to figure out what the first man's personality is like. The second factor, that affects correspondence of action and inferred characteristic, is the number of differences between the choices made and the previous alternatives. If there aren't many differences, the assumption made will match the action because it is easy to guess the important aspect between each choice.[9]
The covariation model states that people attribute behavior to the factors that are present when a behavior occurs and absent when it does not. Thus, the theory assumes that people make causal attributions in a rational, logical fashion, and that they assign the cause of an action to the factor that co-varies most closely with that action.[10]Harold Kelley's covariation model of attribution looks to three main types of information from which to make an attribution decision about an individual's behavior. The first is consensus information, or information on how other people in the same situation and with the same stimulus behave. The second is distinctive information, or how the individual responds to different stimuli. The third is consistency information, or how frequent the individual's behavior can be observed with similar stimulus but varied situations. From these three sources of information observers make attribution decisions on the individual's behavior as either internal or external. There have been claims that people under-utilise consensus information, although there has been some dispute over this.[11]
There are several levels in the covariation model: high and low. Each of these levels influences the three covariation model criteria. High consensus is when many people can agree on an event or area of interest. Low consensus is when very few people can agree. High distinctiveness is when the event or area of interest is very unusual, whereas low distinctness is when the event or area of interest is fairly common. High consistency is when the event or area of interest continues for a length of time and low consistency is when the event or area of interest goes away quickly.[11]
Bernard Weiner proposed that individuals have initial affective responses to the potential consequences of the intrinsic or extrinsic motives of the actor, which in turn influence future behavior.[12] That is, a person's own perceptions or attributions as to why they succeeded or failed at an activity determine the amount of effort the person will engage in activities in the future. Weiner suggests that individuals exert their attribution search and cognitively evaluate casual properties on the behaviors they experience. When attributions lead to positive affect and high expectancy of future success, such attributions should result in greater willingness to approach to similar achievement tasks in the future than those attributions that produce negative affect and low expectancy of future success.[13] Eventually, such affective and cognitive assessment influences future behavior when individuals encounter similar situations.
Weiner's achievement attribution has three categories:
Stability influences individuals' expectancy about their future; control is related with individuals' persistence on mission; causality influences emotional responses to the outcome of task.
While people strive to find reasons for behaviors, they fall into many traps of biases and errors. As Fritz Heider says, "our perceptions of causality are often distorted by our needs and certain cognitive biases".[14] The following are examples of attributional biases.
The fundamental attribution error describes the habit to misunderstand dispositional or personality-based explanations for behavior, rather than considering external factors. The fundamental attribution error is most visible when people explain and assume the behavior of others. For example, if a person is overweight, a person's first assumption might be that they have a problem with overeating or are lazy and not that they might have a medical reason for being heavier set.[15] When evaluating others' behaviors, the situational context is often ignored in favor of the disposition of the actor to be the cause of an observed behavior. This is because when a behavior occurs attention is most often focused on the person performing the behavior. Thus, the individual is more salient than the environment and dispositional attributions are made more often than situational attributions to explain the behavior of others.[5] However, when evaluating one's own behavior, the situational factors are often exaggerated when there is a negative outcome while dispositional factors are exaggerated when there is a positive outcome.[5]
The core process assumptions of attitude construction models are mainstays of social cognition research and are not controversial--as long as we talk about "judgment". Once the particular judgment made can be thought of as a person's "attitude", however, construal assumptions elicit discomfort, presumably because they dispense with the intuitively appealing attitude concept.[16]
Culture bias is when someone makes an assumption about the behavior of a person based on their cultural practices and beliefs. An example of culture bias is the dichotomy of "individualistic" and "collectivistic cultures". People in individualist cultures, generally Anglo-America and Anglo-Saxon European, are characterized as societies which value individualism, personal goals, and independence. People in collectivist cultures are thought to regard individuals as members of groups such as families, tribes, work units, and nations, and tend to value conformity and interdependence. In other words, working together and being involved as a group is more common in certain cultures that views each person as a part of the community. This cultural trait is common in Asia, traditional Native American societies, and Africa. Research shows that culture, either individualist or collectivist, affects how people make attributions.[17]
People from individualist cultures are more inclined to make fundamental-attribution error than people from collectivist cultures. Individualist cultures tend to attribute a person's behavior due to their internal factors whereas collectivist cultures tend to attribute a person's behavior to his external factors.[18]
Research suggests that individualist cultures engage in self-serving bias more than do collectivist cultures, i.e. individualist cultures tend to attribute success to internal factors and to attribute failure to external factors. In contrast, collectivist cultures engage in the opposite of self-serving bias i.e. self-effacing bias, which is: attributing success to external factors and blaming failure on internal factors (the individual).[19]
People tend to attribute other people's behaviors to their dispositional factors while attributing own actions to situational factors. In the same situation, people's attribution can differ depending on their role as actor or observer.[20] For example, when a person scores a low grade on a test, they find situational factors to justify the negative event such as saying that the teacher asked a question that he/she never went over in class. However, if another person scores poorly on a test, the person will attribute the results to internal factors such as laziness and inattentiveness in classes. The theory of the actor-observer bias was first developed by E. Jones and R. Nisbett in 1971, whose explanation for the effect was that when we observe other people, we tend to focus on the person, whereas when we are actors, our attention is focused towards situational factors. The actor/observer bias is used less frequently with people one knows well such as friends and family since one knows how his/her close friends and family will behave in certain situation, leading him/her to think more about the external factors rather than internal factors.[original research?]
Dispositional attribution is a tendency to attribute people's behaviors to their dispositions; that is, to their personality, character, and ability.[21] For example, when a normally pleasant waiter is being rude to his/her customer, the customer may assume he/she has a bad temper. The customer, just by looking at the attitude that the waiter is giving him/her, instantly decides that the waiter is a bad person. The customer oversimplifies the situation by not taking into account all the unfortunate events that might have happened to the waiter which made him/her become rude at that moment. Therefore, the customer made dispositional attribution by attributing the waiter's behavior directly to his/her personality rather than considering situational factors that might have caused the whole "rudeness".[22]
Self-serving bias is attributing dispositional and internal factors for success, while external and uncontrollable factors are used to explain the reason for failure. For example, if a person gets promoted, it is because of his/her ability and competence whereas if he/she does not get promoted, it is because his/her manager does not like him/her (external, uncontrollable factor). Originally, researchers assumed that self-serving bias is strongly related to the fact that people want to protect their self-esteem. However, an alternative information processing explanation is that when the outcomes match people's expectations, they make attributions to internal factors. For example, if you pass a test you believe it was because of your intelligence; when the outcome does not match their expectations, they make external attributions or excuses. Whereas if you fail a test, you would give an excuse saying that you did not have enough time to study.[14] People also use defensive attribution to avoid feelings of vulnerability and to differentiate themselves from a victim of a tragic accident.[23] An alternative version of the theory of self-serving bias states that the bias does not arise because people wish to protect their private self-esteem, but to protect their self-image (a self-presentational bias). This version of the theory would predict that people attribute their successes to situational factors, for fear that others will disapprove of them looking overly vain if they should attribute successes to themselves.[]
For example, it is suggested that coming to believe that "good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people" will reduce feelings of vulnerability[]. This belief would have side-effects of blaming the victim even in tragic situations.[14] When a mudslide destroys several houses in a rural neighborhood, a person living in a more urban setting might blame the victims for choosing to live in a certain area or not building a safer, stronger house. Another example of attributional bias is optimism bias in which most people believe positive events happen to them more often than to others and that negative events happen to them less often than to others. For example, smokers on average believe they are less likely to get lung cancer than other smokers.[24]
The defensive attribution hypothesis is a social psychological term referring to a set of beliefs held by an individual with the function of defending themselves from concern that they will be the cause or victim of a mishap. Commonly, defensive attributions are made when individuals witness or learn of a mishap happening to another person. In these situations, attributions of responsibility to the victim or harm-doer for the mishap will depend upon the severity of the outcomes of the mishap and the level of personal and situational similarity between the individual and victim. More responsibility will be attributed to the harm-doer as the outcome becomes more severe, and as personal or situational similarity decreases.[23]
An example of defensive attribution is the just-world hypothesis, which is where "good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people". People believe in this in order to avoid feeling vulnerable to situations that they have no control over. However, this also leads to blaming the victim even in a tragic situation.[14] When people hear someone died from a car accident, they decide that the driver was drunk at the time of the accident, and so they reassure themselves that an accident will never happen to them. Despite the fact there was no other information provided, people will automatically attribute that the accident was the driver's fault due to an internal factor (in this case, deciding to drive while drunk), and thus they would not allow it to happen to themselves.
Another example of defensive attribution is optimism bias, in which people believe positive events happen to them more often than to others and that negative events happen to them less often than to others. Too much optimism leads people to ignore some warnings and precautions given to them. For example, smokers believe that they are less likely to get lung cancer than other smokers.[24]
Attribution theory can be applied to juror decision making. Jurors use attributions to explain the cause of the defendant's intent and actions related to the criminal behavior.[25] The attribution made (situational or dispositional) might affect a juror's punitiveness towards the defendant.[26] When jurors attribute a defendant's behavior to dispositional attributions they tend to be more punitive and are more likely find a defendant guilty[26] and to recommend a death sentence compared to a life sentence.[27]
Attribution theory has had a big application in clinical psychology.[28] Abramson, Seligman, and Teasdale developed a theory of the depressive attributional style, claiming that individuals who tend to attribute their failures to internal, stable and global factors are more vulnerable to clinical depression.[29] The Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ) was developed back in 1996 to assess whether individuals have the depressogenic attributional style.[30] However, the ASQ has been criticized, with some researchers preferring to use a technique called Content Analysis of Verbatim Explanation (CAVE) in which an individual's ordinary writings are analyzed to assess whether s/he is vulnerable to the depressive attributional style. The key advantage of using content analysis is its non-invasive nature, in contrast to collecting survey answers or simulating social experiences.[31]
The concept of learned helplessness emerged from animal research in which psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven F. Maier discovered that dogs classically conditioned to an electrical shock which they could not escape, subsequently failed to attempt to escape an avoidable shock in a similar situation.[32] They argued that learned helplessness applied to human psychopathology. In particular, individuals who attribute negative outcomes to internal, stable and global factors reflect a view in which they have no control over their situation. It is suggested that this aspect of not attempting to better a situation exacerbates negative mood, and may lead to clinical depression and related mental illnesses.[33]
When people try to make attributions about another's behavior, their information focuses on the individual. Their perception of that individual is lacking most of the external factors which might affect the individual. The gaps tend to be skipped over and the attribution is made based on the perception information most salient. The most salient perceptual information dominates a person's perception of the situation.[34]
For individuals making behavioral attributions about themselves, the situation and external environment are entirely salient, but their own body and behavior are less so. This leads to the tendency to make an external attribution in regard to their own behavior.[35]
Attribution theory has been criticised as being mechanistic and reductionist for assuming that people are rational, logical, and systematic thinkers.[36] The fundamental attribution error, however, demonstrates that they are cognitive misers and motivated tactician. It also fails to address the social, cultural, and historical factors that shape attributions of cause. This has been addressed extensively by discourse analysis, a branch of psychology that prefers to use qualitative methods including the use of language to understand psychological phenomena. The linguistic categorization theory for example demonstrates how language influences our attribution style.[37]

If Tomonobu Itagaki, the hard drinking cigarette smoking game designer behind Devil's Third, were a video game, he'd be Saints Row: The Third. No wonder he wanted to lend his voice to the game.
At a Tokyo Game Show press event, Itagaki professed his love for Saints Row character Phillipe Loren, who leads the Syndicate crime organization. Phillipe often appears with two girls on his arms.
Itagaki loves Phillipe so much that he said he asked THQ if he could voice the character. "THQ told me," said Itagaki, "if you have that much free time, you need to work on Devil's Third."
Check out the first look at Devil's Third from earlier this year. The game was not shown at this year's Tokyo Game Show.

What's the best game of the year? Depends who you ask but for me it was definitely World of Tanks. The novelty of the concept, the great gameplay, the vast number of tanks and maps, the endless ways in which a battle can take happen, the infinite replayability, the pseudo-realistic mechanics and physics and, why not, the free nature of the game conspired to make it one of the best games I've played in years.
Of course, not everyone is sold on it. Some people don't like the shooter genre. Some don't like tanks or the WWII setting. Some don't like playing online against others. And on and on. But from what I gather, World of Tanks has a huge worldwide gathering, especially in Russia
One of the reasons why World of Tanks is so popular is the freemium business model. While other MMOs have started with a subscription model and then switched to freemium when they realized not a lot of people were playing them, World of Tanks was built around the concept of "free" from the get-go. In this aspect, my humble opinion is that it is really well designed. As a free player you have access to all the tank tiers (from 1 to 10) and all the maps. Other freemium games impose certain restrictions on how high you can go. Not this game. While paying customers can reach maximum level much faster, a free player can also get there, through patience and perseverance.
But here's the thing. There's a big chance that if you start out as a free player, even if you intend never to spend a cent on this game, you might find yourself voluntarily shelling out some cash at some point. The very thing happened to me. Though I spent a puny amount compared to hardcore players, I did show my appreciation to the developers by spending some money in the game. This is a good thing. A good game deserves compensation. The more people pay for it, the better the game becomes.
Let me tell you a story that enforces the above.
I'm an European living for many years in the US. I don't have any friends here who are gamers but back in Europe I know a bunch of hardcore nerds, just like me, who love PC games. One of them is a really good friend and we share a lot of interests but these aren't all the time identical. For example, we both love WoW and Diablo but he also likes games such as Dragon Age, The Witcher, Mass Effect. I don't like those but I like Borderlands and Glitch to give a couple of examples.
When I went to my home country on vacation last summer I demoed World of Tanks to my friend. It was easy: download the ~2GB client (very quick at European broadband speeds), install it, login with my username and password. I played a couple of battles for him and he showed some mild interest. I wasn't expecting him to really get into the game.
A few days later he told me that he had created an account and was now playing the game. I was like, woot! He had some initial frustrations with some of the gameplay but ended up being hooked by it. After I got back to the US he told me he was obsessed with the game. He'd even bought a subscription to it and had advanced along the American tank destroyer line farther than I had. Of course, I have a lot more tanks spread across many different lines but still...
So you see, World of Tanks can really grab you hard when you least expect it and it won't let go easily. There are, of course, players who have quit the game in frustration over one aspect or another. One of the main factors of contention is the matchmaker system which sometimes can pit you against tanks 3-4 tiers above you, where you don't stand much of a chance. I admit that the game is not perfect. But you know what? The version number says it is still in beta (currently version 0.6.7) and the devs are continually working on it, fixing bugs, improving mechanics and adding new tanks and maps.
I am not as obsessed with World of Tanks as I was at the beginning. These days I fire it up once every few days, or maybe a couple of times a week. Then again, I'm mostly playing Glitch. But when I do play it, it's almost therapeutic. I just love this game in so many ways. Even if I get raped two minutes into a battle, who cares? I will just load up another tank and perhaps win the next battle with 5 kills.
If you are undecided, if the genre mildly appeals to you, I urge you to try this game. You won't regret it and you might even end up addicted.
In closing, here's a screenshot of a recent glorious battle I fought in. Our team steamrolled the adversaries, with 13 kills on our side, 2 suicides on their side and 1 loss for us. My "Easy 8" Sherman was hanging by a thread at the end.

How to roll with changes in the freelance writing landscape
I recently was interviewed for the freelance journalism site Ebyline by Susan Johnston of the The Urban Muse. Here's my favorite question from the bunch. (You can read the interview in its entirety here.)
What changes have you observed in the freelance landscape over the past several years?
Online assignments have gotten shorter. Many national media outlets that once asked writers for 800-1500 word web stories are now asking for 300-600 word blog posts. This has decimated pay rates for freelancers writing for these sites. Online aggregation has become the norm, too, with many leading sites heavily relying on partner content (for example, msnbc.com routinely using stories from sites like Forbes.com and Entrepreneur.com). This also means fewer opportunities for freelancers.
But not all hope is lost. Freelancers who want to write for mainstream web outlets just need to fold in more lucrative assignments to supplement their income. Consumer magazines, trade and custom publications and copywriting remain a good bet, as do editing, teaching and coaching. And diversification, staying on top of publishing trends and following the money is perhaps more important than ever before.
A few other changes that seem to be the norm now thanks to web and mobile publishing:
- More freelancers are expected to provide links, photos, videos, audio and/or HTML tags when filing their stories, as well as promotion via social media outlets when the story runs. Depending on how well you negotiate with editors, this will either mean a bit of extra work per assignment or a bit extra of pay.
- Given all the aggregation that's happened in recent years, all-rights and work-for-hire contracts are fairly standard for online writing these days. That's not to say you can't negotiate or can't find an outlet that will let the rights to your work revert back to you at some future date. It just seems that these deals are more scarce.
- Many online startups have no qualms asking freelancers to write for free or close to it. Unfortunately, there's no shortage of new, hobbyist or exposure-hungry writers willing to take the bait. For this reason, I advise inquiring about the rate in the first conversation you have with a new-to-you outlet.

This is the second part of a guest post by Renaud Anjouran, founder of Sofeast, a QC firm in China, and writer of Quality Inspection Tips blog, a must read blog if you are sourcing from China.
If you missed the first part of this article you may read it here.
China 101: Sourcing from China Survival Guide (tips 16 to 29)
III.Before any payment is made
16. Get pre-production samples that represent your exact requirements (in 90% of product categories, it is not a problem technically for the factory).
17. Ensure the product meets, or is designed to meet, your country´s safety standards.
18. Ensure the supplier knows what you expect in terms of packaging.
IV.If you are developing a new product with a Chinese manufacturer
19. Document product characteristics before approaching a manufacturer. Pay an engineer if the product is complex.
20. Document production processes if you are lucky enough to be in the factory while they are setting the machines up for sampling or a pilot run.
Be aware that if you decide to switch suppliers later on, you are not likely to have that information (points 19 and 20) unless you have taken the precaution of documenting it.
V.Negotiate Reasonable Payment Terms
21. On T/T (Telegraphic Transfer, or bank wire)
This is he most common payment method. The standard terms are a 30% deposit before the components/materials are purchased, with the remaining 70% to be paid after the supplier faxes the bill of lading to the importer.
If special molds/tools need to be developped before pre-production sampling are approved, you will certainly be asked to pay a deposit accordingly. Make sure the supplier writes that these molds/tools are yours. If large sums are at stake, a lawyer can help you draft a contract.
22. Irrevocable L/C (Letter of Credit)
Try using an L/C with new suppliers (because it's better not to wire a deposit that might get lost) or for large orders (because the bank fees are relatively low).
Bank fees are higher than a simple bank wire, but you are much better protected. Most serious exporters accept an L/C if you specify reasonable terms (don't ask for 60+ days of credit).
It is always better to send the draft to your supplier for commenting, before the L/C is "opened" by your bank.
VI.Quality Control
23. Control your product quality in the factory. Do not count on the factory's own QC staff. Visit the Factory yourself, or appoint a third party inspection firm.
24. Inspect:
a) when the first finished products get off the lines (to catch issues early).
b) after 100% of the order is finished (to verify the average quality level, and to check packaging).
25. Do lab testing if neccessary. Take advantage of the inspections: pick up random samples at that time. It important not to let the supplier choose the samples by himself.
VII. Final Warnings
26. It is possible for an importer to sue a Chinese supplier successfully. But only in China.
27. The worst is to simply accept a supplier's pro forma invoice. A slightly better solution is to issue a purchase order with your terms, and to get it chopped by the supplier. Yet this might not be enough if you want to keep the option to sue the supplier successfully.
28. The best solution is to work with a lawyer who is familiar with China's business environment. He will draft a contract that addresses the major risks you should watch out for, and he will remove any ambiguity. Again, when buying from China, you need to be so detailed and clear that there is no room for interpretation.
29. Be sure to put this entire system in place before you start negotiating with new suppliers.
a) Tell them it is your company's policy, and your boss/partner requires it.
b) They will be more likely to agree. If you mention a contract after you have spent days with them and they know you are in a hurry to produce, they will refuse.

What's New In This Edition
Based on Chapters 1-10 (except the optional OOD/UML case study) and appendices of our best-selling Java textbook, Java How to Program, 6/e. Small Java How to Program, 6/e takes a new early classes and objects approach to teaching programming. These topics in the past editions of Java How to Program, were introduced in Chapters 8-10. Now, they are introduced in Chapter 3 and are integrated throughout the book in both the examples and exercises from that point forward.
This special edition of Java How to Program is ideal for one-semester, introductory Java courses and is up-to-date with the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0! The text covers fundamental programming topics, including information likely to be presented in a one-semester, introductory course. Coverage of graphical user interfaces and graphics is designed to be optional in Small Java How to Program.
"Does an excellent job describing the new features included in JDK 5.0…" ~Doug Kohlert, Sun Microsystems
"Of particular note is the authors' attention to good software engineering."
~Dean Mellas, Cerritos College
"The new Chapter 3 introduces OOP without burying the reader in complexity. I think the level of conceptual detail is perfect. This will be a great help the next time I teach 101. ... I was introduced to JHTP by my students who pleaded with me to drop our current assigned text in favor of JHTP. No other text comes close to its quality of organization and presentation. Its Live-Code approach to presenting exemplary code makes a big difference in the learning outcome." ~Walt Bunch, Chapman University
"This is a very good chapter [9]. It motivates inheritance well and the progression of examples is very nice."
~Stephen Weiss, CS Chairman, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"i really enjoyed the way Chapter 10 explained polymorphism, abstract classes and interfaces." ~Earl LaBatt, University of New Hampshire
"The optional Graphics & GUI case study track introduces students to some of the more fun things in Java! Working with color, graphics and GUI always gets their attention!"
~Karen Arlien, Bismark State College
"Classes are introduced early. The authors separate the functionality of the class from the testing of the class, emphasizing good program design principles." ~Craig W. Slinkman, University of Texas-Arlington
"A well-written presentation of object-based programming principles."
~Marita Ellixson, Eglin AFB, Univ. of Arkansas, Indiana Wesleyan Univ., Lead Facilitator
"The UML material is very well done and a huge asset."~Gavin Osborne, Saskatchewan Institute

Denny - I feel that mashing low and limiting crystal helps limit the sweet impression that can occur when using a fruity hop like Mosaic, as does the dankness of Columbus. I'll brew it again as is.
Interesting finding from my club meeting last night. Mosaic isn't the garlic bomb that I thought it was. Let me explain.Several weeks ago, I sampled an all Mosaic pale ale that was on tap at my LHBS. They serve it in tiny cups and there isn't much to do other than sample it quickly. Well, it was an oniony garlic bomb. I was less than impressed. Last evening, one of my clubmates served his all Mosaic pale ale and I found the same response...garlic bomb. But since we were dealing with larger cups and a longer time to sample, after a few minutes the garlic aroma dissipated and the wonderfully fruity Mosaic aroma and flavor came through for me. So the lesson here seems to be that those oniony garlic components are quite volatile and they disappear with enough beer surface area and time. I'm on board with Mosaic now! I'm now curious if other oniony, garlicy hops also dissipate that character with enough time? Anyone else have this experience?

We've all had a good laugh about Anthony Weiner using his Twitter account to show the world that white Congressmen can have surprisingly decent-sized cocks. And we here at Deadspin have gotten a great deal of mileage out of men who, in fit of passion, decided to take pictures of their dicks and send them out into the ether, like digital herpes.
But we've never seriously delved into precisely WHY guys do this. It's easy to leap to the basic explanations of arrogance and stupidity when it comes to dong shots. But there's more to it than that. There are men who are NOT rich and powerful who take dong shots. There are men who are rich and powerful who choose to restrain themselves. It's not enough to just say, "Oh, he was a big shot and he thought he could get away it." That kind of misses the point, and the point is that men can get very, very, very horny. A deep, primal kind of horniness that only makes sense when you're in the middle of it.
When I was a kid, I remember seeing some lady in the neighborhood who I thought was very attractive. And so I constantly fantasized about showing up one day at her door pantsless, and then having her say something way hot like, "Guess you're not such a little boy anymore after all," and then inviting me in to recreate the stairway scene from Risky Business. I never did go through this, but it doesn't mean I didn't think about it, ruminate over it, play it over in my head again and again until the outcome felt like a real possibility.
That's what happens when you're super fucking horny. You set aside reason entirely. It makes no sense to send a picture of your dick to someone when you're not horny. What are you, nuts? Who would ever do such a thing? That's just asking for trouble. But when you ARE horny, well now that's a whole other mindset. You know in the back of your mind that exposing yourself to someone is a rotten idea, and that it almost certainly won't cause the desired result. But, if your dick is hard enough, you WILL believe that there is at least a small chance that exposing yourself WILL work, that it will cause the recipient to spray butter out of her crotch and engage you in a sexual encounter so fulfilling your dick might blow apart as a result.
That's why Weiner tweeted his dick. It wasn't him saying to himself, "God, I'm such a big shot Congressman! Look at what I can get away with!" It was the fact that he had a concrete banana bulging through his briefs, and that made him feel way hot. And when you feel really fucking hot, you want to see if you can make other people feel hot, too. Because if you can, and if you can connect with them, then the resulting sex is usually pretty damn mindblowing. Even if it's a long shot, maybe it's worth it. Maybe it's worth risking it all for that gold medal spank bank moment. Hell, even if your advances are rejected, there's still a thrill to be had in that moment of anticipation for their reply, of picturing in your head the girl seeing you and getting off on it. You still got to build a fantasy out of it. Sometimes the idea of that is more of a turn-on than the actual act itself. That's how we men roll. We use every part of the wet dream. Nothing goes to waste.
Being horny means feeling a little bit superpowerful. Ever get so horny you think you can lift a fucking truck over your head? I remember a reader named Ian wrote into the funbag once with this letter:
Have you ever had a big veiny one going and thought to yourself "I have the biggest cock on planet Earth"? Even being at the national average I do this all the time.
And the reason you do it all the time is because you're so adrenalized by your libido that it really does feel that way. You feel like you could fuck through walls when you get to that point, and it kind of feels good, frankly.
Any guy who's ever had a boner knows there's a tunnel vision you acquire once you're determined to bust your nut. It's like a junkie looking for heroin. Nothing else matters. I have done ridiculous things in the name of getting off – dry humping door frames, calling phone sex numbers using my parents' home phone, fucking fresh fruit – shit no one would ever do while in a rational state of mind. But you don't give a shit about decorum when you're horny. More important, it feels GREAT to not give a shit. It feels great to cast aside all the little polite boundaries you make for yourself to indulge your sexual appetite. It's why people fuck in public. It's why people make lots of loudass noises when I'm staying in the hotel room next to them (assholes). It's why Arnold boned the help. There's a freedom in ignoring social mores and just being a disgusting sex animal for a few moments. It's why I'm writing this post wearing nothing but a pink apron. SEXY.
I asked a few guys I knew if they ever took a picture of their own dicks. Most said no. Daulerio said he'd done it as a joke once, but no one said they had done it while in the throes of sexual passion. The extremely wise Matt Ufford, who knows more about sex than I do because he has it more often, said this:
"Now that we don't have to go to CVS to get photos developed, people are taking the photos they've always wanted to take."
And that's the key point. A lot of people take photos of their dicks now because they CAN, because they've always had that primal urge. We're fascinated with our own bodies. I know I am. I stare at scabs when I get them. I press my face against the mirror and check out the pores in my nose. And whenever I take a leak or go to jack off, I stare down my dick like a suspicious man on an airplane. "Well, look at that. That's my penis. And it's attached and everything! LOOK AT THE HAIR!" Kids play around with their bits all the time. Little baby boys grab their dicks and stretch them until you're terrified they'll pull the things clean off. They don't do this because they're horny. They do it because they're curious. And that curiosity never leaves us; we just put up a better front for it. Sometimes, I'll pull my dick or I'll cuff my nuts like a balloon until the scrotum's all shiny and shit. Just because. Your body parts are interesting because they're all you have: your eyes and hands and legs and genitals. Everything you think and everything you do is going to be performed by these things, and so it's always wise to examine them constantly and check to make sure they're in working order.
And sometimes, you want to know if someone else out there finds your body as fascinating as you do. Because it would be pretty cool if they did. And you want to see if people see your parts in the exact same way that you do. That's part of why you might take a photo of dick. You might say to yourself, "Goddamn, my dick looks hard! I wonder if it looks just as hard on camera." Take that innate curiosity, mix it with fierce horniness, and BOOM! Tweeted dong shot. This isn't to excuse Weiner, who's a fucking idiot and should be able to curb himself given his profile. It's just an idea of what would make him decide to take that last, fateful step of mistakenly sending out his package to the free world. Because I bet he didn't feel shame or remorse or regret while in the act. I bet he felt pretty fucking great.
