Internet Tough Guy
Part of a series on Internet Slang. [View Related Entries]

Internet Tough Guy (ITG) (also known as "E-Thug") is a pejorative term used to refer to an online commenter who threatens physical violence against other posters when confronted with criticism or trolling. Often found on message boards and blogs, typical actions of an ITG involve boasting about their physical strength and degrading critics with insults.
The earliest known use of the phrase appeared on the Elite Fitness[1] message board on May 13th, 2002, when forum member SSAlexSS asked other board members about the purpose of powerlifting exercises. In response, member t3c responded that SSAlexSS was ignorant about proper training methods, and referred to him as an "Internet tough guy" (shown below).
On November 21st, 2002, the phrase "Internet Tough Guy" was used in a post on the roller coaster enthusiast forum CoasterBuzz,[2] paired with the abbreviation "ITG." On January 23rd, 2004, an entry for the abbreviation "ITG" was created on Urban Dictionary,[3] five months before the full phrase was added to the site.[4] On January 27th, 2004, SomethingAwful[5] creator Lowtax published an article breaking down the traits of an internet tough guy (shown below).
On August 5th, 2009, the Internet humor site Cracked[8] published a history of internet trolling, noting that a stereotypical Internet Tough Guy would offer up a physical address where other posters could meet him for a real life duel. The first archived 4chan[9] thread from the /b/ (random) board mentioning the phrase was posted on May 3rd, 2007, in reference to a raid on the virtual avatar site Subeta. The phrase was also used on the /v/ (video games)[11] and /x/ (paranormal)[12] boards that year. Since 2007, more than 4700 threads have been archived with the phrase.[13] People have also used the term as a way of calling out users who fit this persona, which can be seen on MiltownKid.com[14], a personal blog, and writing forum BunnyRabbitSex.[15] There is also a TV Tropes[6] page and a Tumblr tag[7] for Internet Tough Guy related content.

Shit Was So Cash
The "Shit Was So Cash" began circulating on 4chan in 2007, with the purpose of trolling other users from the perspective of an Internet tough guy. The copypasta was accompanied by a photo of a young tanned man holding a bottle of alcohol next to a tanned blonde woman.
Guido Sensation

Stop Calling Me a Homo
The phrase "stop calling me a homo" comes from a video by YouTuber ChristianU2ber, who angrily threatened others users who were calling him a "homo" (shown below), leading many to label him an "Internet tough guy."
Navy Seal Soldier Copypasta
A popular piece of copypasta associated with the internet tough guy term are a series of stories and statements of a Navy Seals soldier about his past achievemens and current capabilities through military force. Various versions exist of the copypasta, with each part often being used to create derivatives of the original. The first archived instance of the copypasta was posted on 4chan's /r9k/ board on October 31st, 2011.[16] It was later added to the Encyclopedia Dramatica article on May 6th, 2012.[17]
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?
I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Usha Chiti's Carrot Halwa
Author Notes: Gajar ka Halwa is an Indian dessert of candied carrots spiced with cardamom, and doused with cashews fried in brown butter. It is very rich, and a small amount garnished with vanilla ice cream will go a long way. This recipe is named after my "Chithi" which means Aunt in Tamil. She has been making this dish for close to 30 years for special family events. The secret lies in the length of time the carrots are stewed and candied. The extra labor makes for an exceptional final product: toothsome, buttery, and sweet. Good things come to those who wait. - savitha
Serves 6
- 5 cups Shredded Carrots
- 10 cups whole milk
- 2 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cup Ghee
- 1 teaspoon fresh cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup halved cashews
- 1/4 cup raisins
- In a large, heavy bottomed vessel, add milk and carrots. The milk will boil, so there should be plenty of room for overflow. A large dutch oven is ideal.
- Bring milk to a boil and then reduce to medium heat. Watch carefully and stir often until 90 percent of the milk is absorbed. The milk should not be allowed to stick to the sides of the pan. This will take about 2 hours. If you short change this step, the carrots will have a raw "salad" like flavor to them. This is a good time to catch up on Ab Exercises or Mad Men episodes.
- Add sugar and continue to stir. Do not let any part of the halwa sit still or form a crust in the pan. Stir for 25-30 minutes. Your biceps will look good. The halwa should be a deep red color and there should be no liquid in the pan.
- Add ghee and stir for about 30 minutes (you are almost done) until the butter is fully absorbed. The stirring at this stage becomes critical because the carrots are now candied and will burn if left unattended. There should be no liquid left in the pan. The halwa will be loose and crumbly.
- Remove from heat and mix in cardamom powder.
- Roast cashews and raisins in a small saucepan until the raisins plump slightly and the nuts turn golden brown. Remove from heat immediately. Garnish or mix into the halwa. Serve slightly warm with vanilla ice cream.

The Percent Indicators library contains controls designed to display percentages and ratios. The library provides:
Display elements — sector of circle, portion of rectangle, multiple portions
Preconfigured controls — Dynamic Pie, Pie Chart, Simple Light Blue
Custom controls — Generic Percent
The Generic Percent and Simple Light Blue blocks are probably the most useful blocks in this library. By default, these blocks reflect scalar input values between 0 and 100 by coloring a corresponding segment of a linear scale. By customizing the blocks, you can also have them display an input value X between m and M as the percentage 100 * ((X - m) / (M - m)).
The table below lists some common ways to customize a block in the Percent Indicators library, using its ActiveX® Control Properties dialog box.
To display multiple regions on a single block, see the customizations in the table below. To learn how to control multiple regions simultaneously, see Controlling Multiple Graphical Elements.
Task | Description |
Add another region to the display | On the Portions panel, increase the Portions property. The ID of the new region is the Portions property value minus one. To specify properties of the new region, set PortionID to that ID and then set the remaining properties on the dialog box panel accordingly. Note that the DigitalStyle and DigitalFormat properties apply to all regions on the block. |
Delete the most recently added region from the display | On the Portions panel, decrease the Portions property. This deletes all properties associated with the region, such as its color. |

Libyan rebels make gains; Qaddafi plays chess
(Read article summary)Germany recognizes the Libya rebels while Qaddafi plays chess with a man who claims intergalactic connections.
Libya TV via Reuters TV/Reuters
Libya's rebels continue to roll up diplomatic success and are showing signs of taking the fight to Muammar Qaddafi's troops in a growing number of locations in western Libya, where Qaddafi was firmly in control when the NATO no-fly zone was imposed over the country on March 17.
While the rebels were preparing to host the German foreign minister in Benghazi today, Qaddafi was being shown on Syrian state TV playing chess with Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the Russian president of the World Chess Federation who often recounts his cordial meetings with extraterrestrials.
Unless Mr. Ilyumzhinov's friends are going to come to Qaddafi's aid, the rebels had a better day of it. Germany Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle was the latest in a string of diplomats to recognize the rebels in their de facto capital. Germany declared the Transitional National Council is the "legitimate representative" of the Libyan government. Though the council is self-appointed, German recognition, following that of France and Italy, is part of an effort to bolster the group of businessmen, lawyers, and officials who defected from Qaddafi's regime as a focal point for transition if and when Qaddafi goes.

I've been electing to leave S/Key dependencies out of packages (Linux-PAM, Shadow, etc.) as there doesn't appear to be a current logdaemon package to install (I sort of look at this one similar to the SeLinux dependencies). Also, just for the records, I've been leaving the libaudit dependency out of packages because the libaudit package seems to Red-Hat specific. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2249> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

1:00 PM ET, April 16, 2006
AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami, FL
MIAMI (AP) -- Luol Deng got a nice gift for his 21st birthday. He's headed to the playoffs.
Deng scored 17 of his 26 points in the first half to spearhead the Bulls' rally from an early 15-point deficit, and Chicago also got 18 points apiece from Andres Nocioni and Ben Gordon to beat the Miami Heat 117-93 Sunday and clinch an Eastern Conference postseason berth.
"This was his present," Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich said.
Chicago could still finish in a number of different spots on the playoff bracket, and Bulls coach Scott Skiles made it clear afterward that his team won't be happy settling for the No. 8 spot -- and a first-round meeting with Detroit.
"It's no secret that the last couple of years we were trying to rebuild and redo our team, and there's a lot of teams that try to do that and can't get in the playoffs," Skiles said. "For our guys to get in is a tribute to the way they have been resilient and stayed with it."
Chicago's win not only spoiled Miami's home finale, it eliminated any hope Orlando had of sneaking onto the East's playoff bracket. Later Sunday, Philadelphia -- which could have passed Chicago by winning its final two games and hoping the Bulls lost their final three -- was ousted from the playoff picture when Washington beat Cleveland and secured its own postseason berth.
And, almost certainly to the chagrin of the Magic and 76ers, the Heat -- who already have secured the No. 2 seed in the East -- elected to rest Dwyane Wade for the final 21½ minutes and Shaquille O'Neal for the final 16½. No Miami starter played in the fourth quarter, with coach Pat Riley apparently deciding that avoiding injury was more important than anything else.
"Trying to be cautious," said Heat forward Antoine Walker, who had a team-high 22 points.
O'Neal added 14 points in 20 minutes for Miami. Wade had only eight points on 2-for-12 shooting in 20 minutes, ending his team-record streak of 78 straight games in double figures.
"They were playing for something real big today and they got it," Riley said of the Bulls. "We've just got to keep moving on, finish the season."
Only the top four seeds -- Detroit, Miami, New Jersey and Cleveland -- are set for the East playoffs.
The rest of the East field will be filled by Washington, Indiana, Milwaukee and the Bulls, but the full seeding structure probably won't be known until the regular season ends Wednesday night. Regardless, Chicago -- which snapped an 11-game losing streak at Miami -- seemed overjoyed to simply secure a postseason invitation, whooping it up on the bench in the final moments as the arena emptied.
Hinrich had 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds for the Bulls.
Michael Doleac scored 12 points and Derek Anderson added 10 for the Heat, who had point guard Jason Williams (nine points) and James Posey (seven points) return from extended injury absences and start tuning up for the playoffs.
"Today is not indicative of who we are," Riley said. "It's a little bit indicative of who Chicago is. I was very conscious of minutes and then at the end, I was very conscious of health."
And he wasn't only referring to his team's health. Riley left after the game to visit his ailing mother Mary Riley, 96, who still lives near the Schenectady, N.Y. area where he grew up. The team isn't sure if Riley will coach when the Heat visits Atlanta on Tuesday.
Gordon hit his first 3-pointer of the game, giving him 10 straight makes from behind the arc following his 9-for-9 effort against Washington on Friday night. His streak ended later in the opening quarter, leaving him three shy of tying the NBA record of 13 straight shared by Brent Price and Terry Mills.
The Heat scored 35 points in the game's first 11:50, then needed another 19:59 to score 35 more as Chicago held Miami to 39 percent shooting over that stretch.
That helped the Chicago dig out from a 15-point hole -- and once the Bulls got the lead late in the half, they kept it the rest of the way.
Miami was down by 10 midway through the third, then got within 74-70 on Williams' layup. But the Bulls scored the next 10 points, with Gordon's 3-pointer putting Chicago up 84-70 with 2:15 left in the period.
From there -- especially with Wade and O'Neal watching -- the outcome seemed all but certain.
"We played well. We clinched it. It's just a good feeling," Deng said. "Now we've still got to play for a higher spot."
Game notes
The Bulls are 16-4 when Deng scores 20 or more points. ... Walker outscored Chicago's starters 14-12 in the first quarter. ... Hinrich, Wayne Simien and Tyson Chandler all committed offensive fouls in the first 27 seconds of the second quarter. ... Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb sat a few rows above the Chicago bench, and actor Anthony Michael Hall was courtside opposite the Heat bench. ... Miami sold out all 41 home games, setting a new single-season attendance record. ... Eight seconds were put back on the clock in the fourth quarter after Doleac made a free throw and the Bulls put the ball into play. Problem was, Doleac had only taken one of his two shots.

Champions League target for Jose
01 Jun 2010 - 08:07:35
Jose Mourinho has admitted his main objective at Real Madrid is to win the Champions League.
The former FC Porto and Chelsea coach left Internazionale last week after guiding the Italian club to a famous treble of Serie A, Champions League and Coppa Italia titles.
Mourinho, who is Real's ninth coach in six years, was unveiled as the replacement for Manuel Pellegrini at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday and wasted no time in outlining his plans.
Real have not won the Champions League title for eight years despite massive and continued investment in star players.
"I won the Champions League during my second years at Porto and Inter. I reached the semi-finals twice with Chelsea," he told the club's official website.
"I believe it is the top championship, the hardest of all. We know our challenge here is difficult, but we must be calm as we work.
"I don't like to shield myself in the idea that we need a long time in order to work well. I like to take on a challenge without fear and aggressively. This is why my main objective is to win.
"The magnitude of this club doesn't frighten me. It won't be an easy challenge, but I am anxious to take it on. I am very excited to begin working here."

list of degrees & programs
Fall: January 15
Spring: September 30
Applications are evaluated as they arrive, with attention paid to deadlines.
APPLY ONLINE to this graduate program.
Number Required: 3
From Whom: Letters of recommendation should be obtained from college/university faculty members with personal knowledge of the applicant's academic achievements.
An undergraduate major in Spanish or its coursework equivalent is required for entrance into the M.A. Program.
A baccalaureate degree, preferably in Spanish, is required for admission.
The Statement of Goals should be 2 to 3 pages in length and include the following: your interest in Temple's Spanish program, future career goals, research goals, academic achievements, and any related experience. Applicants interested in Teaching Assistantships, Fellowships, or other financial support may describe special needs in an addendum to their personal statement.
The GRE is required. Typical GRE scores range from 153 to 166 in verbal reasoning and 144 to 155 in quantitative reasoning or 500 to 700 on the old version of the GRE. Special consideration is given to applicants who have studied in the U.S. but whose native language is not English.
A resume is required.
Three credits or one course undertaken while the student is enrolled in Temple's Spanish M.A. Program may be transferred from a program in a Spanish-speaking country. The course must be a graduate course, and it must be approved by the Graduate Advisor. The maximum number of credits a student may transfer is 3.
The GRE examination requirement is waived for applicants with an undergraduate degree from a Spanish- or other non-English-speaking country.
Number of Didactic Credits Required Beyond the Baccalaureate: 30, including a minimum of 18 credits taken in advanced (non-5000-level) courses and a maximum of 12 credits taken in non-advanced (5000-level) courses
Required Course:
SPAN 8001: Hispanic Bibliography and Research
Internship: No internship is required.
Language Examination: A language examination is required. Students must pass a written reading-comprehension examination in a foreign language other than Spanish. Examinations are usually taken in the Romance languages or German. Other languages may be accepted with approval.
Comprehensive Examination:
The purpose of the comprehensive examination is to evaluate the breadth and depth of students' knowledge of the discipline. Students must write a six-hour written comprehensive examination based on a reading list. The examination is taken after the student fulfills the 30-credit-hour course requirement and passes the reading-comprehension exam in a language other than Spanish or English.
All examinations must include representation from each of three course fields: Spanish Peninsular Literature, Spanish American Literature, and Hispanic Linguistics. The Graduate Faculty in Spanish and Portuguese write the questions. Faculty members from each of the three fields participate. The faculty members who write the questions evaluate responses on a scale of A to F, and then each answer is evaluated by a second reader. To be evaluated as passing, a grade of B- or higher must be achieved in response to each examination question. Evaluators look for an understanding of core concepts; the application of principles of critical analysis to texts from the reading list for the M.A. examination; and the ability to write expository prose.
Comprehensive examinations are administered once a semester. They are scheduled by the Graduate Chair, with whom students must register. The M.A. examination is given over a period of one week and is proctored by the Graduate Chair or an Administrative Assistant.

The Graduate Program in Spanish integrates the established fields of Literature and Linguistics. At the M.A. level, it provides a solid program developing advanced Spanish-language skills for diverse careers and trains students in the exercise of research and pedagogical skills necessary for the pursuit of the Ph.D.
Time Limit for Degree Completion: 3 years
Students are required to complete the degree program through classes offered before and after 4:30 p.m. Students are also able to complete the degree program on a part-time basis (8 credit hours or less per semester).
Not applicable.
Students may apply one approved non-Temple graduate course done in a Spanish-speaking country toward fulfillment of the M.A. requirements in Spanish. Opportunities for graduate study abroad through Temple programs are available occasionally.
Areas of specialization are Spanish Peninsular Literature, Spanish American Literature, and Hispanic Linguistics.
Graduates of the M.A. Program in Spanish typically find employment in secondary education, in business and government, and in social and medical services.
Non-matriculated students may take up to three courses with approval of the Department or Graduate Chair.
Teaching Assistants typically teach basic and intermediate Spanish or specialized language-skills courses. Assistantships carry a stipend and tuition remission. Candidates for Teaching Assistantships should express their interest and special needs in an addendum to the personal statement of the application to the graduate program.

Designed for use with your existing HVAC duct work, the US Stove 8500 Multi-Fuel Furnace works independently or in conjunction with your existing furnace. Burning wood pellets, corn, and other compressed biomass fuels, the 8500 uses 2 blowers and up to 105,000 BTUs to distribute heat in homes up to 2,800 square feet. This eco-friendly heating system also offers digital controls, multiple modes, and various safety features.
The US Stove 8500 can hold 320 pounds of fuel for an extended burn time. Twin 800 cubic feet per minute (CFM) blowers and 105,000 BTUs of power evenly distribute large amounts of heat into your space. As the fuel burns, this model's blowers insert warm air into your HVAC system, which carries the air around your home.
Located on the lower left-hand side of your furnace, the digital control board makes it easy to turn this model on and off or make adjustments. This is also select automatic or manual mode. Automatic mode uses pre-selected settings to apply heat; while manual mode lets you make adjustments to your various heating options.
For example, change the amount of fuel being delivered to the burnpot area by pressing the Heat Range buttons up and down. The more fuel that's in the burnpot, the more hot air will be produced by the US Stove 8500.
The US Stove 8500 Furnace is a powerful, versatile heating option that you can set up through your existing HVAC system to heat homes as large as 2,800 square feet.

POSTED: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - 12:17pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 - 3:27pm
Former Dallas Cowboys star DeMarcus Ware will sign with the Denver Broncos Wednesday, according to multiple national media outlets [1].
Media members [2] have reported Ware's deal is a 3-year, $30 million contract with $20 million guaranteed.
Ware,31, had refused to take a pay cut to allow salary cap room for the Cowboys to make other free agency moves.
The former all-pro defensive player led the league twice in sacks and is the Cowboys all-time sack leader with 117 and fumbles forced with 32.
Ware has played all 10 seasons of his career with the Cowboys. He was drafted 11th overall from Troy University in the 2005 draft.

Over the past few months, we have had the pleasure of encountering several members who had their writing professionally published in a means that made it possible for others to buy. For a few, we were linked to novels or eBooks on Amazon, Lulu, Barnes and Noble, and other websites.
It's really a wonderful thing for a writer to get their words out in print. Even for those of you who managed to get your work physically printed through a publishing house, it can be very difficult for an author to gather up a fanbase and receive enough advertising for their writing.
As Writers--club is a group with over ten thousand members, we would like to take a small step toward helping our rising authors.
If you have had your work published where it is available for others to buy online, whether it be as a novel, poetry book, short story, eBook, a work as a part of an anthology, please send a note to the group with a link to where it can be purchased. Anyone who has self published is completely welcome to submit a link as well.
From there, we will pick out candidates to be featured as our Members of the Month. We'll pick out several deviations from your gallery and showcase your work with a link to where your published writing can be purchased.
We want to do our part to help out all the rising writers of our time. If you think that you will be publishing or self publishing your novel or other form of writing in the future, please feel free to fave this journal and submit your link when the time comes. We will be running this program for many months to come.
And finally, to everyone, keep writing and doing your best!

The Schengen area and cooperation conditions were established with the Schengen Agreement in the year 1985. It was, then, not part of the standard EEC or EU treaties. Membership was rather granted on a multilateral basis with countries that were able to guarantee proper enforcement of the rules to counter the arising security issues, because the signatory states to the agreement had to abolish all internal borders in lieu of a single external border; thus the Schengen area represents a territory where the uncontrolled movement of goods and persons is guaranteed.
Simultaneously, to guarantee security within the Schengen area, cooperation and coordination between custom and police services as well as judicial authorities needed to be stepped up. This required from all participating countries an increased common responsibility and the absence of major border corruption. Switzerland, Iceland and Norway fulfill the Schengen criteria in an exemplary manner. This is why the original Schengen countries invited them in their exclusive club, which then had nothing to do with the free trade zone EEC.
Only much later, in 1997, the Schengen cooperation has been incorporated into the European Union's legal framework by the Treaty of Amsterdam. This is also why not all countries cooperating in Schengen today are parties to the Schengen area. This is either because they do not wish to eliminate border controls (e.g. as the EU-members U.K. and Ireland) or because they do not yet fulfill the required security conditions for a successful acceptance to the Schengen acquis (e.g. Romania and Bulgaria).

Why didn't I think of this? It's too easy. I have to move my dust hose around a lot, and these work for me. They actually have a pretty good grip, but they won't make your arms look Popeye.
Unpacking and assembly is pretty straightforward, although there are no instructions .
At 2 for $6, it's a good deal.

Note to Congress: You Can Learn From Bag Fees
WASHINGTON ( TheStreet) -- Bag fees are unpopular and anti-airline hysteria consumes our country, so it is not surprising that some in Congress want to force airlines to stop charging fees to check a bag.
This is the wrong approach. Bag fees represent a learning opportunity.
In the past few years, the airline industry, which has lost money since the Wright Brothers first flew, has sought to create a profitable business model. It has done this by reducing capacity and adding fees -- primarily bag fees. A plus is that bag fees are paid only by people who use the service.
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the top three airlines in terms of bag fee revenue in 2011 were Delta (DAL - Get Report) with $864 million, American (AAMRQ.PK) with $593 million and US Airways (LCC) with $506 million. During the same year, Delta's net income was $854 million while US Airways made $111 million and American, which declared bankruptcy in November, lost $2 billion.
While the airlines believe the BTS numbers might be a bit on the high side, the fact remains that eliminating the revenue from bag fees could push at least two airlines into or close to a loss position. Speaking of a loss position, isn't that what the U.S. government is in? Yet now Congress wants to bring its financial model to the airline industry. Perhaps it should be the other way around. Since 2003, airlines have moved to reduce costs and raise revenue, a comprehensive approach that seems to be working. Cost reduction occurred in bankruptcy court, visited between 2003 and 2011 by every major network carrier. It wasn't popular or pretty. Thousands of workers were laid off, while wages, pensions and health care benefits were reduced. Also, trying to get it right, US Airways visited twice, United (UAL - Get Report) sat in court for three years and American, trying to be a moral company in an immoral world, resisted for too long. Now, American may be forced to merge with a smaller, less prestigious airline. This is not to say that the U.S. ought to declare bankruptcy, despite the attractiveness of vesting decision-making authority in a single, bankruptcy court judge committed to a solution that is viable for all the parties. However, cost reduction has been a big part of the airline industry's momentum to a better future. While the industry remains overly dependent on oil prices, Delta is even trying to address this seemingly intractable problem by purchasing an oil refinery. Its new model provides sufficient capital that it can try something different.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Intellectual Freedom
The Center for Information Policy Research supports the principles of intellectual freedom, as defined by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers
CIPR has engaged in and supported research focusing on the challenges to intellectual freedom, including book challenges, Internet filtering, and related information policies.
Educational and outreach activities in support of intellectual freedom have included hosting Banned Books Week events, sponsoring workshops on book challenges for librarians, and sponsoring the Intellectual Freedom Award given jointly by the Wisconsin Library Association (WLA) and the Wisconsin Educational Media and Technology Association (WEMTA).
To assist in research on intellectual freedom and the rights of library patrons to read, seek information, and speak freely, CIPR maintains an archive of challenges to public library materials. We strive to collect and make available all relevant complaint materials, news reports, public comments, relevant communications available through public records requests. The archive currently contains materials related to the 2009 challenge at the West Bend (WI) Community Memorial Library.

Welcome to Pemberton Historical Park In Wicomico County
Pemberton Park is located on Pemberton Drive on the west side of Salisbury, Maryland, just a short distance from Route 50. The park's 262 acres offers the opportunity to hike 4.5 miles of Maryland nature trails, appreciate the beauty of nature and participate in environmental education, historical interpretation or special event activities. Informational brochures are available in the contact building near the parking lot. Brochures include trail guides illustrating various environmental features, bird and plant brochures and special event listings. Information is also available regarding "Friends of Pemberton" membership.
While hiking the trails, you will encounter ecosystems and their natural complement of plants and animals that are specific to many different regions of the Eastern Shore. It is rare to find any other place on the Eastern Shore where tidal and fresh water wetlands, fresh water ponds, upland pines, hardwood forests and meadows can all be studied within the same site. This unique feature, when coupled with the historical aspects of Pemberton Park, makes it especially attractive for school studies or a casual hike.
Pemberton Hall
The Hall was built by Isaac Handy and his wife Anne (Dashiell) in 1741 on what is now Pemberton Historical Park. The home and plantation was one of the first established in Wicomico County and the Hall has been restored by its present owner, Pemberton Hall Foundation. Exhibits are rotated on an annual basis and feature historic displays of items indigenous to Wicomico County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Tours are held on Sundays from 2-4 pm from May 1 - October 1 and by appointment.

Oh well, here goes my app for .... ^ ^"
Hope I didn't miss out anything...
Edit:: Am In! >w<
Exams just finished and I had the itch... Now I just have to work on that age meme and some tasks... >_>
• Name: Jacques Clarke
• Age: 13
• Gender: Male
• Height: 5'6''
• Weight: 125lbs
• Birthday: July 10th
• Nationality: British(Irish-French Descent)
• House: Ravenclaw
• Year: 3rd Year
• Personality:
- Open-minded - Dense - Friendly - Passive - Relaxed -
Jacques, at first glance, seems like the sort of person who goes through life at his own pace. He never seems to have any major personal problems to worry about. If he did, he keeps its presence hidden well.
Jacques can come off as an "air-head", having the tendency to drift off in his own thoughts if he finds himself uninterested in the conversation topic. He has a short attention span when it comes to things that he doesn't enjoy. As such, he's often not done well in classes which subtopics may have lost his interest. Jacques's tendency to drift off in his thoughts has also led him to misplace and forget certain things like required items for classes, memos, chores, etc. Often, he would forget to do something that was requested of him even if he had been reminded more than necessary. Although he is the elder of two children, Jacques lacks discipline and responsibility. While he does have a sense of responsibility, he is hopeless when it comes to remembering dates, names, and important events. However, when it comes to things he likes, he can get rather absorbed to the point he's almost deaf.
A young boy of 13 that is far from naïve. Although his air-headed tendency to drift off on his own and scatter brain doesn't make him seem so, he can be pretty observant. Jacques, although could use a lil more empathy towards other's feelings, has a good amount of sensitivity to know when or not to say certain things. He isn't, however, good with providing comfort (at most. He lends out a listening ear) and may panic if one were to break into tears or seek him out for help towards their troubles.
Jacques was never sure of why he was placed in ravenclaw. Although he guessed it may have had to do with his like of observing and learning of certain things, he was never good with puzzles and things he never found interesting. He would often take hours to complete(or avoid) tasks that he couldn't see the light in. This contributed to his dislike of the ravenclaw eagle knocker which constantly gives a new riddle each time one's been answered. He never had an affinity with riddles, thus has had to wait outside the common room for someone else pretty often. During his first year, he had arrived at the knocker a lil past curfew more than once and had spent a few nights outside. During his second and third years, he had taken to the habit of waiting by the ravenclaw's common room entrance early with a book or homework.
Jacques does not handle stress well. In fact, the reason for his calm laid-back-ness is due to him trying not to gain stress. When put under stress or pressure, Jacques can get pretty touchy or sharp with his comments, often saying things that he doesn't mean. Passive, Jacques will not, however, resort to unnecessary violence and prefers not to engage in confrontation altogether. As such, spells that he has mastered lean towards protection and less towards harm.
• Background:
Jacques had spent his childhood in a small house in the countryside of Kent. Although the Clarke's owned a small house, they were indeed quite wealthy, having saved up over the years of being practical with their money (which were mostly controlled by his mother). His mother earned most of the income as a potioneer. A workaholic, she could never feel comfortable with nothing on her hands. Jacques's father had irregular work hours due to his job as a freelancing journalist. Thus, Jacques had spent more time with his father than his mother as a child and felt closer to him.
Jacques's relationship with his younger brother, Joseph, was pretty normal. Like any other pair of siblings, they made huge arguments on the smallest insignificant things and quickly made up only hours later only to compete on the most random things and fought again.
Blessed with the access to the large outdoors, he spent most of his time out. Not to run around and play with other kids but rather to observe anything he could find. Often, he would follow ant trails and small creatures if he could keep up with them. Unfortunately, when he was nine, Jacques had unknowingly trespassed on someone's land and ran into some guard dogs. He was chased for a while and forced up a tree for close to two hours before the owner had found him and called the dogs off. This resulted in a trauma against animals.
Jacques's first year at Hogwarts was hard because of the fact that pets were allowed. It was hard for him to adjust to sleeping in a room with three others when one of them had a cat. It took a while for him to get used to that one cat and finally sleep well. He was also pretty forgetful and got lost pretty often within the castle. He spent most of the year trying to prove(to himself) that he was fit for ravenclaw, since he didn't know why he'd been placed in the house.
His second year was a little more relaxed. He got lost less often and a bit more sleep despite his roommate's feline pet. It would be a lie to say that he did well in all his classes, but he still hadn't let go of the stereotypical rule that ravenclaws needed to excel in all their subjects. He mostly kept to himself and the library during this time.
In the present, he doesn't mind being in the same room as an animal, as long as they don't get too close. Unless of course, said animal is a canine... He's gotten less worried over the fact that he's in ravenclaw, in fact he's much too "relaxed". His grades in classes suffer from time to time, when he isn't interested in the current area of the subject. He's got a great liking for Ancient Runes and Charms.

Robot Kits »Pololu m3pi Robot with mbed SocketThe Pololu m3pi robot consists of a 3pi robot base with a fully assembled m3pi expansion board as its second level. This expansion board enables the use of a powerful 32-bit mbed development board as the robot's high-level controller, which offers significantly more processing power and free I/O lines than the 3pi's built-in 8-bit AVR microcontroller. There are also sockets for Wixel and XBee wireless serial modules as well as prototyping space for additional sensors and electronics. Compare all products in Robot Kits or Robot Kits without Soldering or 3pi Robot and Accessories or m3pi Robot or mbed Microcontrollers.
OverviewThe m3pi robot is a fully-assembled, upgraded version of our popular 3pi robot. It consists of a 3pi robot base connected to an assembled m3pi expansion board that simplifies augmenting your robot's capabilities with an mbed development board (or other microcontroller boards), wireless modules, and sensors.
Please see the 3pi robot product page for a more comprehensive description the 3pi's features and 3pi resources (user's guide, projects, videos, etc). Using the m3piWhile the m3pi's abilities can be enhanced through the addition of a number of hardware modules, the robot is fully operational as it ships and can be used just as a 3pi robot with an expansion board (in which case you will need an AVR programmer). Alternatively, you can leave the default serial slave program on the 3pi base and use an mbed (or your favorite microcontroller board) as the high-level m3pi controller by using it to send serial commands to the 3pi base. Wireless functionality can be added via the XBee or Wixel sockets, and you can use the expansion board's prototyping space for sensors or custom circuits. The m3pi is powered by four AAA batteries (not included). We recommend rechargeable batteries. For more information on additional components that you might want for your m3pi, please see the Other Things You Might Need section of the m3pi user's guide. mbed
The key feature of the m3pi expansion board is that it enables the use of one of ARM's powerful 32-bit mbed development boards as the robot's high-level controller, offering significantly more processing power and free I/O lines than the 3pi's built-in 8-bit AVR microcontroller. The base 3pi robot ships preprogrammed to serve as a serial slave, so all you need to get started is an mbed controller (sold separately or as part of a combination deal that includes an mbed NXP LPC1768 with the m3pi robot). The mbed plugs directly into a socket on the expansion board (no soldering is required) and connects to all of the hardware on the m3pi expansion board as well as the serial lines of the 3pi base. Library support and sample programs for the m3pi are available from mbed.org, making it easy to get your mbed-controlled m3pi robot up and running. This project originated as a prototype created by ARM's mbed team to help showcase the mbed at various events and exhibitions. The picture below shows ARM's original m3pi (left) next to our m3pi: Note: Pololu's m3pi robot does not have an integrated battery charger the way ARM's prototype did. WirelessThe expansion board also makes it easy to add wireless capabilities to your m3pi robot by providing sockets for XBee or Wixel modules. The expansion board connects these modules to one of the mbed's serial ports, and jumpers can be used to connect them directly to the serial lines of the 3pi base, so your robot can communicate wirelessly even without an mbed as the high-level controller. Because the Wixel is programmable, the Wixel can also be used as the m3pi's high-level controller when the serial jumpers are in place.
Note: If you want an mbed-controlled m3pi robot, you can save money with our m3pi robot + mbed NXP LPC1768 combination deal. If you already own a 3pi robot, you can upgrade it to an m3pi robot using our m3pi expansion kit. People often buy this product together with:

Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel is serving double duty as acting deputy director of management.
The Obama administration is moving ahead with a plan to overhaul government management policies, but could be hampered by a depleted roster of senior leaders at OMB.
The management rethink is taking place with top level vacancies at the Office of Management and Budget. Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel is serving double duty as acting deputy director of management (DDM). Controller Danny Werfel is detailed to the IRS as acting commissioner, dealing with the aftermath of revelations that officials there unfairly targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. The administration announced plans Aug. 1 to nominate Clinton-era deputy director for management John Koskinen to head the IRS, there's no word on when Werfel might return to OMB. (The agency did not reply to a request for comment.) Additionally, the post of associate director for performance and personnel management is being filled on an acting basis by a career official.
The recent rollout of plans for a management rethink suggest that a DDM appointment is in the offing, said Jonathan Breul, who served for 10 years as a senior advisor to the DDM at OMB, and is currently adjunct professor at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute. However, he and others noted that the absence of a confirmed occupant of the post can have negative consequences for the ability of an administration to execute its priorities across government.
At OMB, the director is focused squarely on activity at the White House and on the budget. The DDM, said Breul, "handles everything else – the coordination councils, all the statutory offices. It's a broad activity that includes financial management, procurement, IT, regulations inspectors general. There's not an activity that doesn't fall under the DDM."
Robert Shea, who served as associate director for OMB administration and government performance during the George W. Bush administration, said it's harder for an acting DDM to exert influence over senior agency officials. "Making sure that all these different offices that are their own little fiefdoms can cooperate is the critical role of the DDM," said Shea, now a principal at Grant Thornton. "An acting DDM has a harder time doing it. He has an even harder time of it with acting subordinates, and it's a challenged that needs to be addressed."
Successful collaboration among agencies is a potential casualty of the lack of a Senate-confirmed DDM. As chair of the President's Management Council, the DDM is tasked with settling turf battles among agencies, managing cost-cutting initiatives, sharing best business practices, and communicating management priorities. "Collaboration is not a natural act," Breul said. "It requires good and effective leadership. That's why the DDM is so important. Left to their own devices, everyone retreats into their own silo."
And the relatively small size of OMB makes it tricky for officials to pivot to new duties amid senior vacancies, Breul said, and the institution of 10 furlough days at OMB under sequestration is not helping matters.
The constrained budgetary environment makes filling top management slots more of an imperative, said Max Stier, president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service. His group is coming out with its own management reform agenda next week. Stier praised Obama's previous DDM, Jeffrey Zients, as well as the officials in acting roles on the management side of OMB. But, he said, "a short-term leader is going to be rewarded for crisis management, not for the long-term health of the organizations they run."
In addition to top-level vacancies, the clock is running on the administration's ability to institute meaningful management reform. The Clinton and George W. Bush administrations had management plans in place within about a year of taking office. "This is a second-term president, already seven-plus months into that second term," Stier said.
There's no clear timetable for filling the DDM post and other vacant positions. VanRoekel has been touted as a candidate for the permanent position. Breul said that VanRoekel's relationship with director Sylvia Burwell and his affinity for the technological focus of the Obama management agenda make him a strong candidate. Stier also cited VanRoekel's work as CIO of the FCC as a strength, and added that he thinks it should be a requirement for all senior OMB personnel to have spent some time on the front lines of an agency. Werfel, whose stint heading up the IRS appears could be nearing an end, has also been suggested for the job. There's also the possibility that the administration will choose an outsider.
Moreover, it's possible that whoever is named to the DDM post won't be long for the job, if he or she is called to plug a leak in a crisis somewhere else in the administration. Breul said he had a Senate-confirmed boss for about half of the 10 years he worked at OMB. "This is a chronic problem, particularly at a place like OMB. When you've got real talent, they move in many directions."

Guess the president could have seen this coming when he came up with this DUMB sequester idea that was going to force congress and you to work together. Lol!!! And congress, you're not off the hook either. You dummies fell for it, approved it and sent it back to the prez for signature. Now it's a frickin law!! What the heck is the matter with you people down there in DC? Always blaming each other for something dumb that you BOTH had a hand in creating?? Mr. president, the sequester was a bad idea, admit it. Rebublicans/democrats, the sequester was a bad idea, admit it. Now with the cost reductions on the books you're really going to go through with this terrible idea for many years. What a bunch of spineless bureaucrats. Make some decisions and stop hiding behind what you both created.

The three-day Gramiya Manam celebrated most things rural
In the sweltering heat, seven people sit inside a blue plastic tent, watching MGR battle the baddies in Adimai Pen. This is Saravana Talkies, set up on VOC grounds as part of the three-day Gramiya Manam.
Palaniappan, who operates the projector, says he plays three movies on loop — Adimai Penn, Kanni Thaai and Thanipiravi. Among the audience in the room smelling of stale smoke is V.S. Selvaraj from a village near Gobichettipalayam. "This is how I used to watch movies as a child," he smiles.
It is memories such as this that the event, organised by the Department of Art and Culture, Tamil Nadu, and Kadhir College of Engineering, sought to recreate.
The jow mittai man, the bioscope man, the photo studio where one can get clicked with pictures of Kamal and Rajini... nostalgia ruled the show. And people thronged the event by the hundreds, despite the Sun raining down on a unusually hot Sunday morning.
One side of the grounds saw a cookery competition in progress, featuring traditional food. Numerous other stalls sold everything from onion powder to jams and devotional cassettes. There were some exceptions — stalls selling millets and another that sold artefacts made from banana fibre. The Crafts Council of Tamil Nadu had some interesting knick-knacks too.
Back on stage, karagattam dancers set the mood with their synchronised movement and the melam players were on song. But, all waited for the dhavani competition to start. Was it going to be a show that traced the evolution of the half-sari from a humble georgette/cotton dhavani to today's embellished silk and tissue wonders? It turned out to be yet another fashion show, with predictable questions and answers. The saddest fall: the comperes telling an eager, booing audience not to get disappointed that a dhavani-clad child came on stage first, but to wait for the kumaris who would follow!
