==Wikipedia censorship attempt==<br />
<br />
In 2008, Wikipedia attempted to delete their entry on Deletionpedia. This [[censorship]] attempt failed due to bad press. This is not surprising, due to Wikipedia's track record of censorship.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Borda count''' is a method of [[Election|elections]] pioneered by [[Jean-Charles de Borda]]. Unlike the more commonly used method of plurality, the Borda takes into account "favorites" and "least favorites". By the Borda method, it is possible for a winner of the most "first place" votes to still lose. The Borda method assigns points to a candidate dependent on X, where X is the number of candidates running for a position. A first place vote gives the candidate X votes, a second place gives the candidate X - 1 points, and so on to the last place vote, which gives the candidate one point.<br />

The '''Ares V''' rocket is part of [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration|NASAs]] Constellation Program, which is the plan for human space exploration in the 21st century. Unlike the Ares 1-X, which is designed to lift heavy loads into Earth orbit, the Ares IV is designed to take loads to the moon or Mars. <br />

<div>The '''Arcade Fire''' is a popular alternative rock band based in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]]. The band provides a full, dynamic sound by consisting of seven members: lead vocalist Win Butler, lead female vocalist and keyboardist Régine Chassagne, lead guitar Richard Reed Parry, bassist Tim Kingsbury, guitarist Will Butler, violinist Sarah Neufeld, and drummer Jeremy Gara. The band enjoyed breakout success with their 2004 debut album ''Funeral,'' which received rave reviews. The band's sophomore effort ''Neon Bible'' displays a darker voice, however maintains the band's signature orchestral rock-pop sound. <br />
<br />
The band has already carved a niche for themselves in the world of modern Rock 'N' Roll music, however the septet originally found inspiration in bands like '''The Pixies''', '''David Bowie''', and '''The Talking Heads'''. Taking these influences, they mixed numerous instruments such as electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, synthesizer, organ, violin, cello, brass, and hurdy gurdy to make something uniquely their own. <br />
<br />
Fans know Arcade Fire best for their highly energetic live performances. Members often dance and flail to the music and even shout into megaphones at lyrical climaxes, all in the spirit of the band's powerful music.<br />

| [[File:Ddsm.jpg|100px]]||-||-||[[File:Dot dsm front.jpg|100px]]||(''left to right'')<br/>'''Defense Distinguished Service Medal'''<br/>'''Transportation Distinguished Service Medal'''<br/>The highest award given during peacetime; awarded for exceptionally distinguished performance of duty contributing to national security or defense at the highest levels while assigned to a joint activity, and may also be awarded to other senior officers whose direct and individual contributions to national security or defense are recognized as being so exceptional in scope and value as to be equivalent to contributions normally associated with positions encompassing broader responsibilities.<br/><br/>The Transportation Distinguished Service Medal is worn only by Coast Guard officers, and is placed in precedence after the Navy Cross and before the Defense Distinguished Service Medal.<br />

|-<br />
| [[File:Silverstar.jpg|100px]]||-||-||-||'''Silver Star'''<br/>Awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the U.S. Armed Forces, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force, or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The required gallantry, while of a lesser degree than that required for the awards of the Distinguished Service, Navy, and Air Force Crosses, must nevertheless have been performed with marked distinction.<br />
|-<br />
| [[File:Dssm.jpg|100px]]||-||-||-||'''Defense Superior Service Medal'''<br/>Awarded by the Secretary of Defense only to members of the Armed Forces of the United States who, after February 6, 1976, rendered superior meritorious service in a position of significant responsibility. The DSSM is specifically intended to recognize exceptionally superior service, and to honor an individual's accomplishments over a sustained period.<br />
|-<br />
| [[File:Legionmer.jpg|100px]]||-||-||-||'''Legion of Merit'''<br/>Awarded to all members of the Armed Forces of the United States without reference to degree for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements. The performance must have been such as to merit recognition of key individuals for service rendered in a clearly exceptional manner. Performance of duties normal to the grade, branch, specialty or assignment, and experience of an individual is not an adequate basis for this award. For service not related to actual war the term "key individual" applies to a narrower range of positions than in time of war and requires evidence of significant achievement. In peacetime, service should be in the nature of a special requirement or of an extremely difficult duty performed in an unprecedented and clearly exceptional manner. However, justification of the award may accrue by virtue of exceptionally meritorious service in a succession of important positions.<br />
|-<br />
| [[File:Dfc.jpg|100px]]||-||-||-||'''Distinguished Flying Cross'''<br/>Awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the Armed Forces of the United States, distinguishes himself by heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight, evidenced by voluntary action above and beyond the call of duty, and resulting in an accomplishment so exceptional and outstanding as to clearly set the individual apart from his comrades or from other persons in similar circumstances.<br />

The same degree of heroism is required as for the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross.<br />
|-<br />
| [[File:Bronzestar.jpg|100px]]||-||-||-||'''Bronze Star'''<br/>Awarded to a person who distinguished himself or herself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight, while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party, for acts of heroism, performed under circumstances described above, which are of lesser degree than required for the award of the Silver Star; or to recognize single acts of merit or meritorious service that are considered of a lesser degree than that required for the award of the Legion of Merit.<br />
|-<br />
| [[File:Purpleheart.jpg|100px]]||-||-||-||'''[[Purple Heart]]'''<br/>Awarded to any person who was wounded or killed by enemy action while in conflict against the United States whether war was declared or not; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party; or while taken captive and/or held as a prisoner of war. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''Adair v. United States''' was a 1908 decision by the [[Supreme Court of the United States|U.S. Supreme Court]], 208 U.S. 161 (1908). The Court overturned a federal law that made it illegal for railroads to discriminate against employees because they belonged to labor unions.<br />
<br />
In violation of a federal law of 1898, William Adair, acting for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, dismissed O. B. Coppage because he was a member of a labor union. The Supreme Court declared this law unconstitutional because it violated the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. Labor unions thereby lost some of their protection. <br />
