Misogyny (miss-OGG-eny) is hatred (or contempt) of women or girls. Misogyny comes from Greek misogunia from misos and gyn.
It is parallel to misandry —the hatred of men or boys.
Misogyny is also comparable with misanthropy which is the hatred of humanity generally.
Marcus Tullius Cicero reports that Greek philosophers considered misogyny to be caused by gynophobia, a fear of women.
In the late 20th century, feminist theorists proposed misogyny as both a cause and result of patriarchal social structures.

List of 279 Clown Names
Originally a part of our Exhaustive List of Unused CD Titles, this list grew long enough to justify its own section. And for the record, we came up with this list long before a cerain author/humorist/computer pitchman fellow came up with his little 700 Hobo Names list. Granted, he did it more exhaustively, funnier, and more successfully; but nonetheless, we did not copy his idea—merely his posting of it publicly in the hopes that people might spontaneously draw pictures based on the list, thereby widening our fan base and boosting our self-esteem.

Want to Cut Costs? Try Enterprise Social Computing
Last update: 4/23/2009 9:00:00 AM
NewsGator white paper details seven surprising ways social computing saves money in any economy
DENVER, April 23, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Enterprise social computing makes sense even in a down market given the hard cost reductions associated with even a modest investment, says NewsGator.
"Despite, or even because of, the current economic difficulties, enterprise companies should see innovative social computing solutions as ever more important," NewsGator, the social computing company, asserts in a new white paper released today.
NewsGator's first-hand experience working with Fortune 500 executives on Enterprise 2.0 projects has revealed seven ways, many far from obvious, to more than recoup the cost of a social computing initiative. They include reducing the costs of email storage, content, printing, enterprise software, travel, employee on-boarding and enterprise application integration.
1. Reducing email volume.
By connecting individuals to relevant people, information and community workspaces, social computing reduces the need to send messages and attached files as email. Email storage costs $500 per GB per year, and one Fortune 100 manufacturing company calculated that a simple 2 percent reduction in email volume could save $2.6 million per year. Social computing is a good way to accomplish that.
2. Reducing premium content costs.
Enterprise social computing is built on Really Simple Syndication (RSS), a technology for subscribing to the vast wealth of free online content. Though free, some companies are still paying dearly for the content through premium publication database services. One company NewsGator works with recently analyzed 500 randomly chosen articles it had paid for and discovered that as much as 90 percent of the content was free online. In addition to efficiently aggregating free content, social computing extracts more value from the content through social bookmarking, tagging and other efficient sharing activities.
3. Lower printing budgets.
Well-designed social computing solutions put important content on or near employees' start pages, eliminating the need to visit disparate legacy systems and print information for review. Social computing also eases online sharing, editing, and reviewing of documents, further reducing the temptation to print, copy and distribute. One company NewsGator works with calculated that social computing could cut its printing and toner budgets by two-thirds.
4. Reducing expensive seats of enterprise software.
Seats of business intelligence, CRM, HR and innovation management software can be expensive. For a fraction of the cost, social computing solutions can execute the same functions with an even broader base of constituents. The result is better solutions faster for less money.
5. Trimming travel budgets.
Sixty percent of businesses are trying to cut travel expenses. Organizations are discovering that networking relevant people through appropriate channels and media is a very good substitute for face-to-face meetings, meaning deep savings in travel spending without productivity loss. Open, enhanced virtual communication across functions and locations also enhances a sense of job security and well-being so that employees remain productive despite economic stress.
6. Increasing talent management ROI.
Social computing attracts smart workers. Seventy-seven (77) percent of millennials use social networking sites, and 91 percent say that "newer, innovative technologies in the workplace would make them more likely to consider a potential job opportunity." (Source: Millennials in Insurance Survey, KRC Research, April 2008). Social computing also reduces the cost of on-boarding new hires, providing them with rich content, connections and collaboration from day one.
7. Reducing enterprise application integration costs.
Social computing platforms can significantly reduce the need to assign employees to manage integrations between legacy systems and newer business applications. Through RSS and XML, social computing can cost-effectively deliver information, alerts and events to workstations or mobile devices - with the savings more than covering the cost of the social computing implementation.
For more information, including other social computing benefits, download the white paper "Delivering ROI with Enterprise Social Computing."

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long year stolen many man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed His fate
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank when the blitzkrieg
raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah
I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for
ten decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all
it was you and me
Let me please intruduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, Saints
as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need
of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy have some sympathy
and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

People with Mental Illnesses May Pose a Greater Threat to the Future of Libraries Than the Internet, Treatment Advocacy Center Study Finds
Last update: 4/8/2009 10:20:00 AM
ARLINGTON, Va., Apr 08, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- People with untreated severe mental illnesses may pose a greater risk to the future of America's public libraries than does the invention of the Internet, according to a new survey released in the March/April edition of American Libraries, the journal of the American Library Association.
The survey of 1,300 public libraries finds that 9 out of 10 library staff members said that patrons with a mental illness have disturbed or affected the use of the library by other people, with an almost equal number (85 percent) saying they have had to call the police as a result.
"Our nation's libraries are turning into daytime shelters for people with severe mental illness who need to be in treatment," said lead study author E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., founder of the nonprofit Treatment Advocacy Center and Executive Director of the Stanley Medical Research Institute.
"The fact that libraries remain a safe haven from violence and life on the streets for people with mental illness is a sad commentary. Doing so devalues human life and the importance of libraries in our communities."
The problems facing libraries are part of the larger issue of the lack of available treatment for people with severe mental illness, especially for those who are discharged from mental hospitals without any follow up care. The result is an increase of people with mental illnesses who are homeless and turn to libraries and other public facilities because they just need somewhere to go.
"The libraries did not ask to become day programs for people with mental illness," Torrey said, "but they are trying hard to accommodate these patrons. However, this should not be the job of libraries; it should be the job of mental health centers."
Other findings include:
28 percent say they have witnessed someone with a psychiatric disorder assault a staff member;
58 percent report more library patrons who appear to have serious psychiatric disorders now than when they first started working in the library;
61 percent say library patrons with psychiatric disorders utilize a disproportionate amount of staff time; and,
66 percent say they have needed to change library rules because of patrons with mental illnesses.
The librarians surveyed reported very serious problems in dealing with patrons with mental illness, including, "two librarians murdered by a mentally-ill patron in the early '90s," according the study. Others reported being punched, having chairs thrown, and stalking.
The librarians were frank in their comments about dealing with people with mental illness. Included were such statements as: "Many, many library customers don't come downtown to our central library because they're afraid of these customers...They perceived the library to be a dangerous place and another homeless shelter and it has really lessened our stature in the community and is disheartening to our staff."
"Other patrons are often frightened by strange behavior...They tend to hold onto their children more tightly and leave more quickly than they might have planned."
"A number of patrons have told us they will not be back because of unpleasant encounters they feel are unsafe."
The survey was based on responses from 124 librarians geographically representative of the U.S. The study was published in the March/April issue of American Libraries, the journal of the American Library Association. In addition to Dr. Torrey, Rosanna Esposito, the interim executive director of the Treatment Advocacy Center, and Jeffery Geller, M.D. of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, authored the study.
The Treatment Advocacy Center () is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating barriers to the timely and effective treatment of severe mental illnesses. The Treatment Advocacy Center promotes laws, policies, and practices for the delivery of psychiatric care and supports the development of innovative treatments for and research into the causes of severe and persistent psychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Deaths of gamers leave their online lives in limbo (AP)
Posted on Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:39PM EDT
NEW YORK - When Jerald Spangenberg collapsed and died in the middle of a quest in an online game, his daughter embarked on a quest of her own: to let her father's gaming friends know that he hadn't just decided to desert them.
It wasn't easy, because she didn't have her father's "World of Warcraft" password and the game's publisher couldn't help her. Eventually, Melissa Allen Spangenberg reached her father's friends by asking around online for the "guild" he belonged to.
One of them, Chuck Pagoria in Morgantown, Ky., heard about Spangenberg's death three weeks later. Pagoria had put his absence down to an argument among the gamers that night.
"I figured he probably just needed some time to cool off," Pagoria said. "I was kind of extremely shocked and blown away when I heard the reason that he hadn't been back. Nobody had any way of finding this out."
With online social networks becoming ever more important in our lives, they're also becoming an important element in our deaths. Spangenberg, who died suddenly from an abdominal aneurysm at 57, was unprepared, but others are leaving detailed instructions. There's even a tiny industry that has sprung up to help people wrap up their online contacts after their deaths.
When Robert Bryant's father died last year, he left his son a little black USB flash drive in a drawer in his home office in Lawton, Okla. It was underneath a cup his son had once given him for his birthday. The drive contained a list of contacts for his son to notify, including the administrator of an online group he had been in.
"It was kind of creepy because I was telling all these people that my dad was dead," Bryant said. "It did help me out quite a bit, though, because it allowed me to clear up a lot of that stuff and I had time to help my mom with whatever she needed."
David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, has had plenty of time to think about the issue.
"I work in the world's largest medical center, and what you see here every day is people showing up in ambulances who didn't expect that just five minutes earlier," he said. "If you suddenly die or go into a coma, there can be a lot of things that are only in your head in terms of where things are stored, where your passwords are."
He set up a site called Deathswitch, where people can set up e-mails that will be sent out automatically if they don't check in at intervals they specify, like once a week. For $20 per year, members can create up to 30 e-mails with attachments like video files.
It's not really a profit-making venture, and Eagleman isn't sure about how many members it has — "probably close to a thousand." Nor does he know what's in the e-mails that have been created. Until they're sent out, they're encrypted so that only their creators can read them.
If Deathswitch sounds morbid, there's an alternative site: Slightly Morbid. It also sends e-mail when a member dies, but doesn't rely on them logging in periodically while they're alive. Instead, members have to give trusted friends or family the information needed to log in to the site and start the notification process if something should happen.
The site was created by Mike and Pamela Potter in Colorado Springs, Colo. They also run a business that makes software for online games. Pamela said they realized the need for a service like this when one of their online friends, who had volunteered a lot of time helping their customers on a Web message board, suddenly disappeared.
He wasn't dead: Three months later, he came back from his summer vacation, which he'd spent without Internet access. By then, the Potters had already had Slightlymorbid.com up and running for two weeks.
A third site with a similar concept plans to launch in April. Legacy Locker will charge $30 per year. It will require a copy of a death certificate before releasing information.
Peter Vogel, in Tampa, Fla., was never able to reach all of his stepson Nathan's online friends after the boy died last year at age 13 during an epileptic seizure.
A few years earlier, someone had hacked into one of the boy's accounts, so Vogel, a computer administrator, taught Nathan to choose passwords that couldn't be easily guessed. He also taught the boy not to write passwords down, so Nathan left no trail to follow.
Vogel himself has a trusted friend who knows all his important login information. As he points out, having access to a person's e-mail account is the most important thing, because many Web site passwords can be retrieved through e-mail.
Vogel joked that he hoped the only reason his friend would be called on to use his access within "the next hundred years or so" would be if Vogel forgets his own passwords.
But, he said, "as Nathan has proven, anything can happen any time, even if you're only 13."

What Lead Levels are Considered Elevated in Adults?
At levels above 80 μg/dL, serious, permanent health damage may occur.
Between 50 and 80 μg/dL, serious health damage may occur.
At lead levels between 30 and 50 μg/dL, health damage may be occurring, even if there are no symptoms.
From 20-30 μg/dL, regular exposure is occurring. There is some evidence of potential physiologic problems.
From 1-20 μg/dL, lead is building up in the body and some exposure is occurring.
6 micrograms is the typical level for U.S. adults. Some exposure is occurring.

Take off your hats and bow to the man, that fit the world into a can.
Love pastry with coffee on the side, a nerdy grip on what seems right
He came through the wall
Wearing nothing at all
Only hillbilly songs with messages straight up your face
Digest on Ana Ngs strange love affair. James K. Polk’s story makes you care
about the world around. And such inspiring sounds makes you feel the nostalgia of you as a kid.
Dear John.
Did you become what you wanted?
Dear John.
You became what I need.
In terms of vocabulary he is the best, way better than all the rest.
It’s hard when you try.
Just sit down and cry.
The thing is that you don’t have a Flansburgh to pull you up again.
Dear John.
Did you become what you wanted?
Dear John.
You became what I need.
Dear John.
Did you become what you wanted?
Dear John.
You became what I need.
