Wade is a fictional character from animated television series Kim Possible, voiced by Tahj Mowry.
About Wade
Wade is a 10-year-old child genius who runs Kim Possible's website, supplies her with her gadgets, and gives Kim her missions through her Kimmunicator. He often relays information to her, searches for information for her, and performs programming feats. (A running gag is that Kim or Ron will ask Wade to perform a particularly difficult programming task, and Wade will reluctantly begin, noting how difficult it will be, then exclaiming his success after a ridiculously short period of time, i.e., "I don't know; this is a highly restricted facility. There'll be all sorts of advanced programming safeguards; there's no telling how long it'll take to ... Got it, you're in!") As a genius, he has completed his high school and college education in eight months. He spends his time in his bedroom of his parents' house, in front of the computer with the lights off. He also seems to drink a lot of soda, since he's often seen slurping one down when communicating with Kim. In Season 4, he actually leaves his room to deliver gear in person (like Q in the James Bond series) and even accompanies Kim on the occasional mission (Odds Man In and Homecoming Upset).
Exactly how Kim and Ron first met Wade has never been explained. He has no official last name, but, at one point in early development, his full name was "Wade Load", a pun on the phrase "wide load" and alluding to his being somewhat pudgy and possibly overweight.
Common Information
Wade is a recluse and possibly agoraphobic. He practically never leaves his room, saying he hates the outdoors, and usually interacts with Kim and Ron through mechanical devices: the Kimmunicator, which he designed, and various other technical wizardry such as a hologram, appearing inside a virtual reality world, using a robot called the "Wadebot" (seen in Blush and Overdue) and even through a garden gnome in Ron's garage, which he used by creating a specially tuned resonance effect. Kim and Ron have only twice managed to meet him face to face before season 4: once when he left his room to get revenge upon Team Impossible for destroying his entire computer system with a spike, and again in an alternate future (A Sitch in Time) when an adult Wade served as leader of the resistance movement (although technically this may have been reversed once the time line was altered to prevent that dystopian future from occurring). However, a hologram appearance by Wade, seen in Monkey Fist Strikes and an appearance in a game (Virtu-Ron) to save Ron and his then-girlfriend Zita Flores in Season 2 may also count as personal appearances.
Wade makes more personal appearances in Season 4, visiting Kim and Ron in person to give them more updated gadgets. During the episode The Cupid Effect Wade developed a boyhood crush on Monique, which she did not reciprocate. In response, Wade built a Love Ray and caused Monique to fall madly in love with him, but soon Wade found that his invention did more harm then intended and destroyed it. In the end, he listens to Monique rant at him for doing what he did, but then she admits she was flattered by the attention. After this, he met Olivia, a young girl genius more close to his age who also invented a Love Ray, much to his dismay -- and Ron's worry that Kim may have had a similar one.
It would appear that Wade is quite short--though this is probably to be expected of a 10-year old. However in Season 4, Wade, now 12, remains the same height. In A Sitch in Time, the adult Wade is a muscular giant. However, in that episode he claims to have had a growth spurt, so as present-day Wade gets older, he may become more like the Wade seen in that episode.
Wade enjoys being indoors, computers, knowledge, inventing, helping, and drinking soda.
Family
Wade's mother (as yet unnamed on air) appears to be African-American. Only she has appeared on the show, but his father is clearly mentioned as being around. They both seem unconcerned with their son's way of spending all his time, and his mother seems to really enjoy Wade's inventions and cleverness. He supposedly also has a great grand-uncle, who appeared in Rewriting History and was a photographer 100 years ago, though he may or may not had such a job due to the episode being a dream sequence.
In Season 4, it is mentioned that Wade's father (named "Lontaine") is often absent, and that his wife resents him for it; however, the flowers he supposedly sent her for Valentine's Day (it was actually the Seniors in order to gain access to Wade's computer) may have eased the tension between them. (The Cupid Effect)
Residence
Wade's home location has never been explicitly stated, but it has been generally proven that he lives somewhere in Middleton. In So the Drama he was seen being attacked by one of the cybertronic Lil' Diablo toys, which at that point had only become active within Middleton. Also, in the episode The Twin Factor, Wade received the photos that were only e-mailed out to Middleton by the tweebs.
The living room and outside of his house was seen for the first time in The Cupid Effect, Season 4. This is further confirmation that he and his family live in Middleton since Ron actually visits him there to give him the benefit "of his mad love school skills."
Wade is voiced by Tahj Mowry, who played a young genius on the sitcom Smart Guy. In A Sitch in Time, his future self is voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan.

The Interdisciplinary Research Paper, or IDRP is a research paper written by students. The IDRP is about 8-10 pages, and follows the MLA format. Students enrolled in the Humanities Program in Eastern Middle School, which is in Silver Spring, Maryland will write the IDRP in seventh grade.
Background
IDRP was created in the 1970s in Eastern Middle School and is now used also at Roberto Clemente Middle School, and is currently being taught in both English and World Studies class, hence the meaning Interdisciplinary. The research takes about four months (or 8 months at Clemente), and the student will be taught all MLA rules and how the appropriate guidelines for the paper. Students also go on a field trip to McKeldin Library in the University of Maryland to research about their topic. The topic is based on the National History Day or NHD theme. For instance, the NHD theme for 2007 was Conflict and Compromise in History. So basically, students are asked to pick a topic that fits the NHD theme and is also of interest to the student. Students writes a thesis, and then has a conference with the teacher individually. Students will also write an outline and a rough draft, and the student will be with the teacher to talk about the work. Students also undergo a three hour class every Monday or Tuesday, depending on which day the student usually has World Studies and English. The two classes are combined to form one classroom, and the session is called the IDRP class. The IDRP prepares 7th graders throughout Montgomery County for writing reports later in life. IDRP also shows some of the progression to National History Day, a national, annual event which allows many students to compete on researching and making a project off of the years history theme. Without IDRP National History Day would not have as many participants. IDRP is an important event in Montgomery County Public Schools.
What a Student Works On
A student working on the IDRP will be learning how to aquire information from a variety of sources, and with that skill each student will need to produce 70 note cards, each with some information on the topic being researched. A student also uses the Writer's Inc, a book on proper ways to write, cite sources, etc. to use as a resource while writing. The students do research to find enough information to his/her topic, and then writes a successful 8-10 (or 10-12) page paper about the topic.
What's in the Paper
The paper consists of:
* 8-10 pages of text (or 10-12 at Roberto Clemente Middle School)
* Works Sited (at least 4 primary sources and 6 secondary sources)
* Possible Appendix (Where pictures, graphs, or charts are displayed)
The final draft in in 12 pt, Times New Roman font, and double spaced. The Works Cited is written in alphabetical order based on the author's last name, and folows the MLA works sited guideline.

The Comedic Improvisation Alliance, or the "CIA" as the group prefers to be called, is North Carolina State University's improv group. It is currently the largest college improv group in North Carolina, housing at one point, an impressive 30 active members.
History
The CIA was started in the fall of 2005 by North Carolina State University students and ComedyWorx members Philip Boyne, John Fowler, and Katie Roberts. The group started out doing simple shortform exercises and games and gradually evolved into both shortform and longform thanks in part to I.O. South starting in 2006 . Over the course of 2006, it was conceived to spread the love of CIA to other North Carolina schools, such as UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Wilmington. So far, the CIA has performed shows at NC State's Stewart Theater, Talley Ballroom, Witherspoon Campus Cinema, and the ComedyWorx theater in Raleigh, NC. They also participated in the 2006 Atlantic Coast Comedy Conference tournament in May of 2006.
The CIA also values a commitment towards charity. The club has performed for Covenant Church in Wake County, Relay For Life, and Packathon. CIA has also raised money for We Build People, a YMCA based charity. The members believe in combining a love for comedy with doing charity work.
Members
Membership is open to all interested regularly enrolled students.

The B-3 Long Rang Strike Platform is a planned bomber aircraft of the US Air Force.
As the current US bomber fleet is scheduled to retire around the 2050-ies, a need for new bomber aircraft have arisen. Especially to replace the aging B-52s, whose original design will be near 100 years old(!) by the time of their scheduled retirement date of 2045. The B-1s and B-2s are expected to be around until at least the year 2037. This differs from the 2018 Bomber because it is supposed to go supersonic, of hypersonic whereas it is suppoded to be subsonic.
Plans
In the late 90's, the Air Force talked about a new bomber which would be operable by 2020. Several ideas were produced out of this. One such bomber was the FB-22. The problem is that its projected range is around 1,600 miles. This makes it's selection highly impractible because the Air Force is planning for something with a lot more range. Other ideas included a plan for a hypersonic bomber, as well as one that could fly into space. Yet this could prove impractible because the militarization of space has been tried in the past and there has been outcry over this. The plane is also supposed to be stealthy based on the fact that planes that could be escorting it would be invisible on radar but fact that theres a bomber force coming on radar would raise a few eyebrows.
Controversy
Critics have argued that a supersonic bomber would fail only because the have in the past. True, the B-58, XB-70, and F-111 are not flying anymore. They also had high operating costs and this is always prohibitive of something that flys faster than the speed of sound. The Concorde is something that was successful but had high operating costs.
MORE TO COME ON THIS AND THE SECTION BEFORE! Just so you know.
Specifications
*Speed: Subsonic, Supersonic, or Hypersonic (Depends on what plan is being used)
*Combat radius main= >2,000 mi
*Weapons Load= 14,000-28,000 lb
*Ability to survive in hostile airspace for extended time
*The Ability to carry nuclear weapons or other conventional weapons
