Google was forced to pay refunds to their advertisers in many cases for that reason.

Jeffrey Shapiro the former executive director of AIDS LifeCycle, an annual California event that raises millions to fight AIDS, has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, claiming he was fired because he is straight.This is almost as disturbing as buff guys in leather short shorts, sporting a tail of peacock feathers on their tight butts, parading down Market Street.But what is more disturbing is how I found out about it. The lawsuit was filed in LA on August 31. And apparently it got a little bit of play in the LGBT press and in San Francisco.However, I only heard about it today because the California Catholic Daily decided to do a report on this breaking news. Of course, they are not reporting it today because it is timely, rather they believe it important to alert us to the epidemic of breeder bashing which is sweeping the nation.I find it more than a little offensive that Mr. Shapiro was allege

Under a preliminary injunction issued on Thursday 26 April 2007, ICANN now has the right to terminate RegisterFly’s accreditation as soon as possible. RegisterFly failed to meet the conditions of a temporary restraining order (TRO) which the Court issued on 16 April. ICANN is immediately inviting statements of interest from accredited registrars to act as a transfer provider, so domain name registrants can gain full access to their domains. The registrar handling the transfers will temporarily hold the names and help registrants transfer to any ICANN accredited registrar of their choice. “Registrants are our first concern. ICANN is following a very determined approach to returning access to domain name registrants impacted by the collapse of RegisterFly,” said Dr Paul Twomey, ICANN President and CEO. “ICANN knows that many registrants are anxious for a transfer to occur. We are committed to making sure this process is put in place as quickly as possible. While w

The "Scam "By: Charles Phelan "Legally terminate credit card debt! You can be debt-free in 4-6 months!" Advertisements like this are for a new type of program that has spread via the Internet over the past few years. It's called "Credit Card Debt Termination," and victims are paying up to $3,500 for this bogus service. In this article, I'll review the principles behind this program and explain exactly why it's a scam to be avoided.First, let's get our definitions straight. The scheme I'm describing here should not be confused with Debt Consolidation or Debt Settlement (also known as Debt Negotiation), both of which are legitimate and ethical methods for debt resolution. The easiest way to distinguish the Credit Card Debt Termination scam from other valid programs is based on the central claim that you really don't owe any money!With Debt Consolidation, you pay back all of your debt balances. With Debt Settlement, you pay back a lower amount (usually around 50%) while the credi
