Bobby Roode
Real Name
Robert Roode
Date of Birth
January 1, 1977
Place of Birth
Back in June, Brodus Clay was given a release by WWE, so he informed his fans that his professional wrestling career was far from over. After exploring his options in Japan, the former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg decided to remain stateside by signing with TNA. He made his television debut for the company this week on Impact Wrestling by aligning himself with Ethan Carter and defeating Shark Boy in a match.
October 16, 2014
Now that he has received his release from WWE, Brodus Clay has already planned out the next phase of his life. Rather than jumping back into the wrestling ring immediately, the former bodyguard has opted to book himself on a trip to Japan, so that he can help protest against those that are hunting dolphins. Clay left open the possibility of working some matches in Japan if that option were to become available to him.
June 13, 2014
Thanks to being a part of a popular act for a while there, Brodus Clay maintains a pretty good salary from his bosses in WWE. The former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg is now being paid $170,000 a year as a professional wrestler. Being paid more than six figures is considered quite a feat for someone that does not receive consistent time on television.
March 19, 2014
WWE is really hoping that Sasha Banks does well in developmental, as the company would love to bring her up to the main roster soon. Management wants to tout that she is the first cousin of world famous rapper Snoop Dogg. The company has already acknowledged on multiple times that Brodus Clay was a former bodyguard for the rapper.
February 17, 2014
TMZ has revealed that Ken Shamrock is now a bodyguard, and the former UFC champion was spotted at an event in Las Vegas protecting 50 Cent. Shamrock is actually working for an agency and is not currently working full time for the rapper.
January 9, 2014
After being given some time off of television, where his character was serving a story line suspension, Bobby Roode made his much anticipated return to Impact Wrestling this week. The former TNA champion came back to save Eric Young, who had just lost the world title, from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley. Roode received a warm reception from the audience.
June 19, 2014
In the storyline, Bobby Roode is serving a suspension from Impact Wrestling because he confronted MVP, who recently turned heel. Apparently, that suspension could be ending soon, as the longtime TNA star is being advertised for Slammiversary 2014 weekend. He does not have a match, but there is a very good chance that he could be making his on screen return that evening.
June 3, 2014
During a recent blog post, Jim Ross was asked what WWE needed to do in order to fix their product. The legendary commentator said that they simply needed to put on a better show and utilize their talents better. He praised Dolph Ziggler as a performer who needed to be push. Then, without solicitation, he praised James Storm and Bobby Roode of TNA.
May 19, 2014
In approximately two years, TNA has reduced the amount of contracted performers by nearly half, going from 60 to 33 during that stretch of time. Dixie Carter and company have been forced to allow performers to leave whenever their contracts expire because they need to become fiscally responsible if they wish to remain in business. Rumor has it that only Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Bully Ray, Samoa Joe, Abyss, James Storm, Bobby Roode and Mr Anderson have big salaries.
May 15, 2014
For story line purposes, MVP has suspended Bobby Roode for his actions on the latest episode of Impact Wrestling, where the former world heavyweight champion confronted MVP about a title shot. Rumor has it that TNA is building up a big match between these two performers for down the line. Prior to joining the company, MVP specifically listed Bobby Roode as someone that he wanted to work with.
May 14, 2014
"It's unfortunate. At the end of the day this is a business, not everybody is going to be happy and people go their separate ways. It's the wrestling business and we're seen it happen a million times. Unfortunately, AJ Styles was a TNA original and was the face of our company for a very long time. That departure bothers me the most. I had a great relationship with AJ, we were friends, we were part of Fortune together, and we had some great matches. I understand where AJ's coming from, it's all business, and I wish him nothing but the best. Sting was a great guy to have in our locker room. He was a veteran leader. A guy that you can go and talk to, a guy who I had some memorable matches, and a guy who mentored me a lot and taught me a lot in the ring. He's an icon; his name will live forever in this business. And I wish him nothing but the best of luck. At the end of the day this is a business and you've got to do what you can for yourself." - Bobby Roode talks about people leaving TNA
April 30, 2014
A picture of Dixie Carter wearing a beard, glasses and a hat. She wore the disguise during TNA Sacrifice 2014 to help Bobby Roode beat Bully Ray, whom she wanted revenge against.
April 27, 2014
In a tables match, Bobby Roode was able to pick up the victory over Bully Ray when a mysterious figure showed up, pushed Bully off of the ropes and on to the table. Upon removing the glasses, hat and beard, fans came to realize that it was TNA president Dixie Carter, who wanted revenge on Bully for screwing her over.
April 27, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling of James Storm and Bobby Roode reforming Beer Money in a tag team match against Gunner and Bully Ray. TNA has been toying around with the idea of having Storm and Roode permanently joining forces again.
April 26, 2014
While they both have now established themselves as singles stars, there are talks backstage in TNA of doing a Beer Money reunion. The hope would be that James Storm and Bobby Roode can remain relevant while carrying the tag team division once again. It would help fill the void that is being left by the potential departures of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian.
April 24, 2014
A video of Bobby Roode and Gunner facing one another in a tables match on Impact Wrestling this week. TNA has been trying to give Gunner more credibility by having him work against veteran performers.
April 20, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014
A picture of the official Slammiversary 2014 poster, which features Brutus Magnus as the centerpiece attraction. Behind him are Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, MVP and Kurt Angle, which has led to speculations that TNA could be doing a big world heavyweight championship match featuring all five of the performers.
March 26, 2014
Since wrestlers are constantly on the road throughout the year, it's a really nice thing whenever they get a chance to just stay at home and relax with their families. Bobby Roode revealed through Twitter today this week that he was given the weekend off by TNA. The company is running live events this weekend still.
March 23, 2014
When Masakatsu Funaki defeated Bobby Roode over the weekend during the Wrestle-1 Outbreak pay per view, he called out Kurt Angle. It was rumored that the Great Muta was trying to get Angle out to Tokyo for a show, and it now appears that should be happening at his next big event in July. Muta has a talent exchange agreement with Dixie Carter and TNA.
March 3, 2014
In what could be a sign of things to come, Masakatsu Funaki challenged Kurt Angle after defeating Bobby Roode at the Wrestle-1 Outbreak pay per view. Great Muta and Dixie Carter have a business relationship now, and there are plans in the works for Muta to send some of his performers to work for TNA later on this year. Funaki might be among the group to do so.
March 2, 2014
An opponent for Bobby Roode at the Wrestle-1 Outbreak pay per view has been chosen. He will be stepping into the ring against veteran wrestler Masakatsu Funaki, who is viewed as one of the greatest MMA fighters in the history of Japan. Funaki has had a couple of legitimate fights with Ken Shamrock over the years.
February 21, 2014
In order to help his new promotion gain more fans, the Great Muta is putting together a big pay per view in March. It now has a name. Wrestle-1 has revealed that the event will be called Outbreak. Thanks to a business deal with TNA, the show will feature stars such as Brutus Magnus, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe and Bobby Roode.
February 12, 2014
MVP revealed that part of the stipulation with him coming on board with TNA was that he would get to work with certain guys that he has admired as performers. He listed Bobby Roode, whom he has already taped a match with while on the European tour, Kurt Angle and good friend Samoa Joe as guys that he would definitely need to work with.
February 7, 2014
There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.

***** Dirty Dealing: The Untold Truth About Global Money Laundering, International Crime and Terrorism, 3rd Edition. By Peter Lilley; published by Kogan Page, www.koganpage.com (Web); 220 pages; $22.50.
Money laundering has become one of the most profitable criminal enterprises in the world. Author Peter Lilley estimates that it is as high as $2 trillion per year, based on United Nations and International Monetary Fund statistics. While the practice has historically been associated with the narcotics trade and traditional organized crime, since 9-11 attention has turned to its role in terrorist financing.
Defining money laundering is difficult. Lilley, however, provides a comprehensive working definition. The term was coined in the 1920s when criminal groups passed their money through front businesses that included laundromats and car washes. The process has evolved immensely, while the financial world's move into cyberspace has magnified and complicated the problem. Today criminals use all manner of physical and virtual enterprises and all types of financial transactions to process their money. Everything from insurance policies to real estate transactions can be the tools of money launderers. The list is endless, and growing.
Lilley outlines the three basic stages of money laundering: placement—placing the money in financial institutions, layering—spreading the money through the use of wires and purchase of various investment products, and integration—buying real estate, various luxury assets, and business ventures.
An entire section of the book is devoted to terrorist financing. Since 9-11, Lilley notes, the international Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has issued eight recommendations to address terrorist financing. Most notable, and disconcerting because of its vagueness, is FATF's recommendation that nations simply criminalize terrorist financing.
Overall, Dirty Dealing is well-written and interesting. Each chapter illustrates concepts and includes examples from real cases of laundering incidents. This book is highly recommended to any investigator or security practitioner, but it would be especially enlightening for readers unfamiliar with the complexities of money laundering.

The Composers
Arthur (Seymour) Sullivan
The man famous as half of the opera-writing duo Gilbert and Sullivan was a gifted composer and musician in his own right. He was born on May 13th 1842 into a very encouraging musical family - by the time he was eight the young Sullivan had written his own anthem, and by ten he had mastered all the wind instruments in his father's Royal Military College band. He won scholarships for several conservatories and academies, and when he had finished at the last in Germany, he returned to England, wrote incidental music for 'The Tempest' and became famous - at age 20. He was professor of composition at the Royal Academy and conducted the Royal Philharmonic between 1885 and 1887, and was quite a society man, friends with monarchs across Europe.
In 1867 he collaborated on Cox and the Box and The Contrabandista with the writer F C Brunand, revealing a talent for comic opera. And in 1871 to 1896 he worked with W S Gilbert on fourteen comic operas, including Trial by Jury (1875), H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1885), The Yeomen of the Guard (1888), and The Gondoliers (1889). Sullivan had a gift for writing great melodies and for musical parody of traditional types of song, and he invented too new forms of comic song, such as the patter song - a long, rapidly delivered text to a light tune of restricted vocal range.
Some of Sullivan's most beautiful music was composed while he was in intense pain from the kidney stones that plagued him for the 28 years before his death on 22nd November 1900. His later works include the grand opera Ivanhoe (1891), Onward Christian Soldiers (1872) and a Te Deum (1897).

It's not uncommon to find highway trucks with front axles and suspensions rated for 13,200 pounds. While 12,000-pound axles were the industry norm for many years, the move to 13,200-pound axles came with the addition of all that emissions reduction gear. Are you running a steer tire rated for that weight?

troubled investment bank Bear Stearns Cos. last spring in a
shotgun merger orchestrated by the feds. James Simons of
black-box fame at Renaissance Technologies Corp. earned a

How to deal with being ignored
How to deal with being ignored.
Being ignored feels bad, I felt it. The more that person is important to you the more pain and rejection you will experience. It's nice not to care about people and have uncaring attitude, but what if you want to be appreciated and people ignore you?
First of all, practice the acceptance. The more resistant you are, the more pain and anger you will feel. If you accept the fact that you are ignored no matter how good person you think you are, it will make it easier first of all on YOU.
Acceptance can bring peace to you, it can make you feel better. Even if you don't agree with it, just be open minded, accept it at least for a moment and you will realize it's not as bad as it seems to you. So, this is only first step.
Next step, is to realize that just because as wonderful as you are, those people may have different needs based on their past experience. It's not your fault that they grew up a certain way and attracted to a certain type of people. It's not your fault that you desire to be noticed and accepted and they can't give it to you. Sometimes it's unrealistically to expect something from someone that they can't give.
More about being ignored
One of the worst feelings of being ignored is rejection. You feel ignored when you have unmet expectations. For example, maybe you expect more attention, more conversation, more hanging out or anything else from that person and if he/she can't give it to you, you feel ignored. It can create pressure and conflict in relationships.
If someone feels pressured in giving you more attention, they might want to break up and ignore you even more only because they avoid conflict. Most people want to avoid conflict no matter what even if it means further misunderstanding on both sides.
Feeling of being ignored can come from your confusing and fear of rejection. If you can overcome a need of acceptance and fear of rejection then being ignored won't see so bad. I know some people who just want to be left alone by everyone, they even have fantasies to live in woods away from everyone, so being ignored would be a blessing to some people!
Deal with being ignored
Always try to find positive in every situation. What if someone ignores you now, only to find that you will meet someone better later? Does it sound as bad then? Of course not…Being ignored isn't always as bad as it seems to you. Maybe they aren't trying to ignore, but come across this way, only because they have very busy and stressful lives.
If your wish to be the most important person in that person's life, it's a nice wish, but it could be only the fantasy you are trying to chase. If you change your perception and won't rely on real "proof" of acceptance, it can make your life a lot more easier.
Also, it's possible that you are more needy than most people and it's not always bad, it's just different. Everyone is different and it's not bad. Being more needy or more distant has it's own advantages, so don't blame yourself if you come across as a needy person eager for affection, it's just means that you are different from others and you have certain unfulfilled needs.
But how to deal with being so different? Try not to get angry at yourself first. Just because others don't do what you want it doesn't mean that you should be angry. Accept yourself the way you are, accept others and you will feel better.

AUSTIN — The state auditor's office issued a report Tuesday criticizing as too vague a $462 million contract that allows a Britain-based multinational firm to produce standardized tests for Texas public schools. And it says education officials lacked proper oversight to make changes and ensure they get what they pay for.Auditors say that will hinder the Texas Education Agency's ability to assess the cost of the Legislature's reduction in exams that high school students across Texas must pass to graduate. That number went from a nation-leading 15 to five. The report says the agency "complied with most requirements" in its agreement with NCS Pearson to produce and grade state-mandated exams. But "it did not ensure that the contract contained sufficient detail about deliverables and costs to independently determine the reasonableness of changes in the price of the contract." It also found that Texas lacks "adequate processes for monitoring the contract." All of that "limits the agency's ability to assess the fiscal effect of changes to statewide testing requirements." Texas has long been a national leader in steep school and academic accountability standards measured by frequent standardized testing. But facing a backlash from students, parents, teachers and school administrators who complained about "overtesting," legislators approved a law this session that dramatically reduces testing requirements. That will affect Texas' contract with Pearson to produce standardized tests statewide from September 2010 to August 2015. But based on Tuesday's report, education officials may struggle to make those adjustments. NCS Pearson is incorporated in Minnesota, but its parent company is English. Tea Party activists and other grassroots conservative groups have criticized the firm, saying its agreement with the state lacked proper oversight.Some are also suspicious that a company based outside the United States has so much influence on Texas public schools — though Pearson also maintains a large presence in the state. Education Commissioner Michael Williams released a statement saying the recommendations from the state auditor's office can strengthen his agency's oversight of student-testing contracts. "I am confident that the Texas Education Agency has been an effective steward and watchdog of taxpayer dollars from the inception of this important contract," Williams said. "However, the SAO review has provided recommendations that can help us better track and strengthen our oversight." Tuesday's report also notes that TEA doesn't comply with regulations requiring disclosure if its former employees or retirees now work for Pearson since the testing contract was amended in May 2011 to remove certain disclosure clauses. Williams said that the agency has worked with the auditor's office for months during its review and that while the original contract with Pearson was for $468.4 million, it has since been reduced by more than $6 million. He also said the Pearson agreement accounts for 61 percent of the funds spent on all agency contracts. Pearson says that during the 2011-12 school year, it administered more than 11.5 million tests to public school students in grades three to 12.

Make your iPhone listen to your radio -- and tell you what's playing
Picture it: you're riding in the car and a great song comes on the radio. You're dying to know what it is so you can go buy it ASAP but there's no satellite radio receiver to tell you what's playing. How can you find out what song it is? Whip out your iPhone, put it near the car speakers, and watch the screen. Poof! There's the song, artist, and album.
No, I am not kidding.
No, I am not kidding.
Our own Erica Sadun was inspired by someone who came up with the original idea, she set off to make it happen, and the result is Listen. It's still "very beta" but, hey, it's still one of the coolest iPhone hacks I've ever heard of. Go check it out and let us know in the comments how it works for you.

Young Money rapper Lil Wayne was reportedly shut out of a Las Vegas party last weekend just days after he was released from jail.
According to reports, Wayne was not allowed to enter a Vegas hotel.
Weezy was unable to get into a party at the Wynn Las Vegas during his visit last Saturday (November 6) because the hotel was nervous about what repercussions they would possibly face if the rap superstar–whose probation prohibits him from drinking liquor for three years–was found consuming alcohol. According to reports, a rep from the Wynn told a member of the Young Money crew that if the New Orleans MC entered the property, he would be asked to leave. However, he never made an attempt, instead settling on heading to the Palms Casino Resort. (XXL Mag)
While in Vegas, Wayne was a surprise guest at one of Drake's shows.
Last night, Drake performed the last show of his Light Dreams and Nightmares tour in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel. Tyga, Lloyd and Birdman were a few of the guests in attendance. With Lil Wayne fresh out of jail, there were rumors and speculation that he would be performing at this show. No one had an answer until Drake performed "Miss Me" and Lil Wayne ran out to join him on stage. (Karen Civil)
He later attended a "Welcome Home" celebration in Miami.
After taking in the Hornets-Heat game in New Orleans and performing with Drake in Las Vegas, Weezy capped off his first weekend back home in Miami. His CMYMB family including Drizzy, a teal-haired Nicki Minaj, Jay Sean, Shanell and Kevin Rudolf celebrated at the retrofitted bank, along with Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, T-Pain, Wale, D. Woods and Cool & Dre. The guest of honor arrived with a cigar in hand and two showgirls flanking him on each arm. (Rap-Up)
Following his release from jail, Wayne made sure to thank fans for their support.
Though Lil Wayne has kept relatively quiet following his release from jail, the prolific rapper spoke out to share his love for his fans. Weezy recently recorded a "thank you" video for his Facebook friends, appearing on camera rocking boxy shades and a skull cap to express his gratitude for the support. "I'm talking to all my Facebook friends. I think it's like 14 million of y'all. Just know that's 14 million thanks yous to y'all," he said. "Everyone from WeezyThanxYou, you already know I love you. Thanks for the support. Couldn't do it without you and I won't do it without you. Love. Young Mulah, baby." (Rap-Up)

Drat, Klaki's uptime is no longer 400+ days. It's down to just a few hours because the machine was rebooted today.
And it didn't even need rebooting!
But, such is life. There was a problem with serving some of the *.klaki.net and *.anomy.net domains which it took a little while to debug. It turns out it was most probably caused by a slight misconfiguration and changes in the Klaki's hosting environment. I think it's all fixed now.
Let me know if I missed something...
Update: Looks like outgoing mail and outgoing web connections aren't working either. I'm guessing someone firewalled poor Klaki to death. Einar is investigating.

11 for '12: The Best New American Cars of the Year
Divisions were shuttered, workers sacked, supply contracts abrogated. The government put its right foot in and then put its right foot out, and change came to the American auto industry. Now, profits are returning, ludicrous executive bonuses are back, and, best of all, we have many new and improved domestic cars vying for our attention. Here are the notables
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
One of the universal rides of choice for young-adult douchebags everywhere, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is actually pretty cool, in a sort of "no SUV should be able to do this" kind of way. Trotting out the winning combination of the 6.4-liter Hemi—Chrysler's go-to parlor trick—and all-wheel drive, the G-Cherk should be able to lay down sub-five second 60 times all day long. This will keep the douchebags occupied, but let's hope they can muster the good sense to remember this one's more show and go than tow. You hate to see smoky burnouts and Airstream trailers in the same sentence.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan lawmakers have given initial approval to a school budget that boosts spending by 4 percent and prohibits the state from replacing its standardized test next year with one developed by a group of states.
The bill approved 4-1 Tuesday by a House-Senate conference committee is expected to win final legislative approval this week.
Per-pupil funding for K-12 districts will rise at least $50 next fiscal year, with the lowest-funded districts getting a $175 increase. The minimum per-student grant will rise from $7,076 to $7,251.
Legislators balked at plans to give tests developed by Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, a group of states developing companion tests to the Common Core standards.
The bill instead calls for Michigan to create a new Michigan Education Assessment Program, or MEAP, test for next year.

Deerfield - Governor Pat Quinn today signed the U.S. Department of Energy's "Workplace Charging Challenge Pledge" which aims to increase the number of employers offering workplace electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by 2018. The Governor's action will increase EV charging stations at state facilities, which will help reduce harmful emissions, improve the environment and protect our state's natural resources.
"We are building a world-class infrastructure in Illinois and that includes making sure our vehicles are energy efficient," Governor Quinn said. "This pledge will encourage employers across Illinois to consider the benefits of electric vehicles and help make Illinois a cleaner, healthier place to live and work."
Oglesby - Governor Pat Quinn today announced the acquisition of a 51-acre parcel of land adjacent to Starved Rock State Park that will provide additional wildlife space and serve as a buffer to protect the park. The Governor also announced wildlife habitat land acquisition in Edgar, Woodford and Jackson Counties and improvement projects at state parks operated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). Today's announcement is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to protect our natural areas and expand outdoor activities for the people of Illinois.
"Starved Rock State Park is one of our most beautiful natural areas, and this property acquisition will protect the land we have while increasing the space available for state park users to enjoy," Governor Quinn said. "In addition, the investments in central, eastern and southern Illinois will greatly expand wildlife habitat in these regions and ensure that generations to come will be able to enjoy Illinois' great outdoors."
Chicago - Governor Quinn announced Stair Week at the kick-off of the 2nd Annual BUILDINGChicago/Greening the Heartland Conference on Monday, September 29th. The Governor encouraged the use of stairs instead of elevators, keeping with Illinois' commitment to citizens' health and well-being and a more sustainable, energy-efficient environment.
Schools, county health departments, businesses, and community organizations, such as the YMCA and United Way, strongly support Stair Week, recognizing its health benefits. Taking the stairs is safe and accessible exercise that helps individuals attain overall fitness which, in turn, reduces the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and other diseases.
Chicago - Governor Pat Quinn today announced a $3 million state investment in the Divvy bicycle-sharing program that will add 700 new bikes and 70 docking stations in Evanston, Oak Park and Chicago neighborhoods. The investment will be supported by an additional $750,000 from the three cities, enabling the popular bike-sharing program to expand and provide a green transportation option in the suburbs for the first time. Today's announcement is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to protect the environment and increase transportation opportunities for the people of Illinois.
"We've worked hard to make Illinois the most environmentally-friendly state in the nation and that includes boosting access to green transportation throughout our state," Governor Quinn said. "The Divvy program has proven to be a successful and innovative way to commute, navigate congested city streets and explore vibrant Chicago communities. Expanding Divvy outside of the city limits mean fewer cars on the roads and gives more residents and visitors the fun opportunity to take a ride."
Chicago - Governor Pat Quinn today signed legislation to expand the innovative 'Bus on Shoulders' program and make Illinois' highways more environmentally-friendly, efficient and accessible. The legislation is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to drive Illinois' economy forward and protect the environment by modernizing Illinois' infrastructure.
"Bus on Shoulders has proven to be a creative approach and a green solution to cut down on commuting times, encourage the use of mass transit and improve access to jobs," Governor Quinn said. "By making minimal investments in our existing infrastructure, we are providing big dividends for commuters and families throughout the region."
"The public policy of the State and the duty of each person is to provide and maintain a healthful environment for the benefit of this and future generations."

The Best Dramatic Presenstation, Short Form is a sad commentary on the state of SF in television.
Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form is a much better list. Although, since I though the Hugos were for SF, I'm not sure what Potter or Spirited Away is doing there.

From the Oberlin catalog course description:
A hands-on course in Internet web site development. Primary emphasis is on each person building a complex web site focused on some area of academic interest and competence using (a) the HTML mark-up language, (b) programs supportive of web site construction (e.g. PhotoShop, Dreamweaver), and (c) the JavaScript scripting language, with strong emphasis on the latter. About one-half the course deals with JavaScript.
My goals and objectives for students taking this course are as follows:
Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML by Freeman and Freeman
Head First PHP & MySQL by Beighley and Morrison
There are a number of free software tools that I recommend you use to help you when you are working on your websites. My recommended software are available cross-platforms -- MS-Windows, OS X, Linux, and *BSD.
Mozilla Firefox is available for all platforms and is what I'll be using for demonstrations, etc. Be sure to install the development tools to get the DOM inspector. NOTE: Neither Apple's Safari nor Microsoft's Internet Explorer have these tools.
You'll also want to check out FireBug which will allow you to inspect and edit various components.
To improve the security of your browser, especially on MS-Windows, you should probably install the NoScript plugin, and a lot of people seem to like the AdBlock Plus plugin. Be aware that either of these might cause some sites to not work properly.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are all plain text files. That means that there aren't any special interpretations that are supposed to be made for the files. Unfortunately, most "text" editors interpret HTML and/or CSS in the files they read making them extremely frustrating to use for our purposes.
I strongly recommend you use jEdit (available for all platforms) or something similar for your editing. There is an easy text editor on the CS machines as well or you can use pico from the command line.
Useful plugins for jEdit include:
You'll need to get your files to and from the webserver. To do this, you'll need software that supports SFTP or FTPS. These should be available from CIT's Software Download page.
We probably won't get time to do this, but there are visual editors for web pages such as Nvu, KompoZer, and SeaMonkey. Also, there are specialized editors like Arachnophilia.
The college makes both personal and group web accounts available for your use. You can request an account at http://oberlin.edu/cit/accounts/default.html.
If your organization has forgotten the account name or password, you need to email email@example.com and request that it be reset.
There is quite a bit of useful information on HTML and webpage design available online. If you find something interesting, let me know and I'll add it here.
Grades will be calculated based on the following distribution:
The distribution might be adjusted based on the progression of the course.
Note that this is not a design course. Grading will be largely based on objective measures. If the assignment asks for 2 images that are 150x150 pixels in size, then that will be what I'm looking for. Supplying only one image or images of the wrong size will lead to reduced marks; supplying a non-creative image will not.
Regular class attendance and participation is expected. Please talk to me if regular class attendance is going to be a problem.
There will be a number of assignments made in this class. I expect every student to attempt each assignment and turn in the results. You are encouraged to complete every assignment as this is one of the most effective ways to learn the material.
If you know that for some reason you will not be able to submit the assignment before the deadline, you should contact me in advance of the deadline. Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances, but need to be done in advance.
Late assignments will be penalized 10% per day. Extra credit will not be accepted after the initial deadline.
If you have a disability that might impact your performance in this course, or requires special accommodation, please contact me as soon as possible so that appropriate arrangements can be made. Support is available through Student Academic Services, specifically Jane Boomer. You will need to contact them to get your disability documented before accommodations can be made.
I have very low tolerance for academic dishonesty, and will vigorously pursue available remedies for any incidents. All work in this class is to be performed according to the Oberlin Honor Code. Specifically I expect that:
Illustrative examples:
All assignments must include the following signed statement:
"I have adhered to the Honor Code in this assignment."
Electronic submissions should include the honor statement in either the README or comments and must include your name.
Initially, there will be a series of weekly projects requiring you to create and modify some web pages (linked in the schedule above). These assignments will be assigned on Thursday and will usually be due at the start of class the following Thursday. They should give you experience using the material we discussed in class that week.
You will also be creating a website for an outside organization. We will discuss this project in class and this description may be updated with additional details.
You should think of this in terms of a final paper for a course. You will need to select a topic, do background research, create an outline, do a rough draft, and create a final draft based on feedback from the draft.
A detailed description is available, but is subject to change.
There may be a number of individuals who are approved via Student Academic Services as tutors for this course.

Nuts & Volts Magazine (June 2008)
There are two schools of thought in the audiophile world on how to best achieve nirvana. One is to invest in huge power amplifiers and massive speakers in order to reproduce every nuance captured in a recording. The other school — more popular among the space — and financially-constrained, is to invest in low-power precision preamplifiers, amplifiers, and headphones...

NEW YORK Alcoa Inc.s $300-million automotive expansion at its Davenport, Iowa, facility wont be enough to meet future demand from the sector, chairman and chief executive officer Klaus Kleinfeld said in a conference call with analysts following the release of the companys first-quarter earnings results.
"I can tell you Davenport is not enough," he said. "Davenport is basically sold out even though we havent even built the automotive (expansion)."
Kleinfeld maintains that this is "more good news than bad news," adding that the company has options that will allow it to "do some things that we probably could not have done before."
He declined to discuss what the companys plans are or name its customers.
"Growth prospects remain excellent" for the North American automotive industry, as new vehicle sales hit 1.54 million units in the first three months of the year, a 3.4-percent year-on-year increase, Kleinfeld said.
Aluminum usage in automobiles is forecast to double to 16 percent by 2025 as automakers continue to shift toward the lightweight metal to meet stricter fuel emissions standards coming out of Washington.
Perhaps more important than regulations is consumer behavior, Kleinfeld said, noting that 37 percent of consumers rank fuel economy as the top factor when buying a new car.
Bullish automotive forecasts encouraged Alcoa to begin the $300-million expansion at Davenport last March (amm.com, March 5, 2012), which also involves installing new technology and equipment aimed at the companys new 951 bonding technology, which Alcoa can license to automakers (amm.com, April 5).
The expansion coincided with Ford Motor Co.s announcement that it will build future versions of its F-150 pickup with a predominantly aluminum body (amm.com, July 27).
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."
-- Charles C. Mitchell, Barstow city manager

Sheriff's officials say the Colorado man who pleaded guilty to falsely influencing the sheriff by saying his son had floated off in a huge balloon is completing his sentence at home.
Larimer County sheriff's spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said Wednesday that Richard Heene finished his time in jail and with a work-release unit. He was moved earlier this month to home detention and is wearing an ankle monitor.
Heene started serving a 90-day sentence Jan. 11. His wife, Mayumi, pleaded guilty to filing a false report and must serve 20 days in jail.
Sheriff's officials say the couple's report Oct. 15 that their young son had floated away in a UFO-shaped helium balloon was a hoax.

|T.O. isn't sorry about much that happened in Philly
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 12 December 2007 11:19
More than two years since he was kicked off the Eagles, Terrell Owens isn't remorseful about the bitter way his short tenure in Philadelphia ended.
``No, not at all,'' Owens said Wednesday when asked if he had any regrets about his tumultuous 1 1/2 seasons with the Eagles.
``I know there are things I probably could've done differently. Overall, I'm content with where I am. I honestly know that everything that was reported when I got suspended there wasn't true. Everything happens for a reason. I feel like I got the better end of the deal.''
Owens is enjoying an outstanding year with the NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys (12-1) while the Eagles (5-8) are sitting in last place. He's getting ready to face his former team for the fourth time since he was banished from Philly just a half-season after helping the Eagles reach the Super Bowl.
Despite a valiant performance by Owens 6 1/2 weeks after ankle surgery, Philadelphia lost to New England in the 2005 Super Bowl. Now Owens has a chance to get that championship ring with the Cowboys. As for the Eagles, they're closer to rebuilding than winning it all.
``In my heart, I'm getting the last laugh,'' Owens said in a conference call.
Owens was the missing piece the Eagles desperately needed when he arrived here in 2004. With Owens catching his passes instead of the usual crop of mediocre receivers the Eagles employed, Donovan McNabb had his finest season and the offense was unstoppable.
But Owens' problems started when he publicly demanded a new contract just one year into a seven-year, $48.97 million deal. He feuded with McNabb, criticized management and violated several team rules such as breaking the dress code and sleeping through team meetings.
Owens still denies those charges.
``The arbitration and all the allegations they brought up, a lot of that wasn't true,'' he said, declining to be more specific.
Owens has since patched up things with McNabb, though the two aren't all that chummy.
``We've had discussions and we've left it at that,'' Owens said. ``I wish him well and I'm doing my thing.''
At least Owens passed on the opportunity to diss McNabb again when asked to compare him with Tony Romo.
``I wouldn't compare them at this point,'' he said. ``The numbers speak for themselves.''
Owens had a difficult first season in Dallas with coach Bill Parcells, but he's thriving under Wade Phillips. Though he's taken a few shots at Parcells in the past, Owens avoided making any controversial comments Wednesday.
``The difference between this year and last year is not really the coaches,'' he said. ``It's the way they've used me as a playmaker. I wasn't used that way last year. This year I'm being utilized the way I've always been used in my career.''
No matter what Owens did in his past, and his relationships with former coaches, Phillips only has positive things to say about one of the best wideouts in the NFL.
``He's a great teammate,'' Phillips said. ``He's a very hard worker and I like players that work hard. And he's shown leadership. He says the right things and does the right things.''
If Owens acted that way with the Eagles, he might still be in Philly.

This is a fantastic silk, and the 9" silks fit PERFECTLY inside of a thumb tip.
These silks are incredibly high quality, and they last a long time (provided proper care is taken to preserve the longevity of them).
This is the blue silk, which is my second favorite (and I own about 6 different colors). I really do like the blue here because it is DEEP, ocean blue. Any other blue silk I have received has always been sort of a light blue that didn't capture the attention I wanted it to. However, this blue silk is a fantastic, deep color that you won't find in many other places!
Recommended for any silk user!

Female coworker teases me a lot, is this flirting?
She is a very nice girl, reliable and very professional but the thing is...she seems to enjoy teasing me a little too much. She calls me names and makes fun of me, tells me I'm full of myself and that I make mistakes too. When I admit I made a mistake she gets all "no way, I thought you were perfect" (with this sarcastic tone). She is super nice to everybody but we are always getting into silly arguments and annoying each other (work never suffers because of this, we work and interact at the same time). My question is, why am I the only one she calls names and messes with? I am well liked and respected at my workplace, but she treats me like the most annoying person she knows and when people ask (playfully) why she talks to me like that, she says its because its fun. They also tell us that we argue so much we are going to end up married (and yes, we argue about insignificant things and we know each other body language and can read each other like a book so there's no way we can fool each other), so it seems we spend a lot of time together. I know she doesn't dislike me because we talk all the time, so what is up with her?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
it might be. I personally tease all my friends I have a very sarcastic sense of humour and once I feel comfortable with someone I always start teasing them. it a sign of affection and I'm know you well enough to not worry you'd get upset. its not like a conscious thing, just the way I am. its not necessarily a sign I'm flirting, but I do tease guys I like. when I tease someone it is a joke, not meant to be taken too seriously. I would never make fun of someone I did like, it a sign of friendship for me not dislike. I also poke fun at myself. I don't know if she's like me, but that is what it mean when I tease someone.

she doesn't dislike you nor its a sign of developing feeling. its just hmm... how to explain this?... ok... there are people who would do it to a certain person although they didn't have reasons for. ya know, in some schools there are students who treat a certain student different than they treat other students...when they see him/her, they feel like they wanna do it to him/her.
Thats a bit odd, isn't it? I agree with you though, when I see her I want to tease her and maybe annoy her a bit but it isn't something I do with anybody else...
