The loser had to wear his underwear on the outside of his clothes. 30. In public forums with GT fans, Coach Paul Hewitt has mentioned Faye briefly. All he has said was that he's another new player, he has practiced this past year with the team and he is now eligible to play. CPH said he definitely benefited greatly from the year of practice and will contribute. He did NOT mention his 145 inch vertical jump, his 84% 3-point shooting percentage, or his ability to walk on water. (That's shooting from the opposite 3 point line, of course!) 31. Faye's "Fission Vision" has proved to be a problem for Mouhammad lately. He has recently acquired from Los Alamos a pair of Atomic Diffuser goggles until he learns to blink. Growing up he never blinked and consequentially contributed to the growth of the Sahara near his native land. After vaporizing most of North Georgia's BB goals he was forced to face Florida while dribbling up court in pick up games. This was discontinued, however, when forest fires started raging out of control there recently. Argonne National Laboratory is now working on developing his anti fusion goggles next so when Faye has a cup of coffee in the morning after he has a good night's sleep he doesn't turn the training table into the surface of the sun. Argonne Labs has requested that no one associated with Faye surprise, shock, or present him with any incredible material that may cause a wide-eyed response until these goggles are fully developed. Because of this, Faye is no longer permitted to view BOTD posts on the Hive's Water Cooler. 32. Acronyms: a. Fantastically Amazing Yellowjacket Extrordinaire, b.

e fall of 2005. Majoring in INTA, with a Management minor. Widely reported by the press in his native, french-speaking Senegal, "...Mohamed (sp) Faye (Rail) est actuellement aux Etats-Unis où il fréquente l'une des plus grandes universités. Il s'adapte et devrait commencer à jouer l'année prochaine...."
Sat out the 2005-06 basketball season, having not received academic clearance to play from the ruling National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Practiced with the team during the 2006 spring semester. Recognized by Head Basketball Coach Paul Hewitt as a named factor in the talents of the new players to be added to the 2006-07 roster, ie. "....plus Mouhammad Faye." What else to expect, asks YahooSports? The mystery still remains on Faye. Just how good will he be in the Georgia Tech rotation? Hewitt has raved about Faye from working with him in practice all season long and spoke highly of the freshman's work ethic, tenacity on defense and overall raw potential. But will his practice antics translate into success in a very talented conference next year? And where will the minutes come from? A lot of unanswered questions still remain on the Faye front. Acknowledged by much-heralded McDonalds High School All-American power forward and incoming Georgia Tech Freshman Thaddeus Young, as one who "can play the game. He will shock a lot of people." Dubbed "GT's Mystery Man!" Nicknamed "Muha" by teammates. Thought to have x-ray vision, as well as the ability to freeze time. More than lovable Aussie Center Luuuke Schenscher, of GT's 2001-05 MBB teams, who had his own "possee," the idolized Faye has a cult, is a message board cult hero or, moreso, "Faye is The Cult." Fans already realize that for the elusive Muha, "none of us are witnesses." The evolving "Legend of The Fayebulous," who has yet to be witnessed in any photographs or videos, has begun to grow exponentially "On the Flats" of the GT Campus, within the ATL sporting community, and beyond the farthest reaches of the universe....well, make that of the internet, sans Athens, GA. Among the recently, most noted Fayebulous Legends are:

Federer storms into semis, Li stays on China quest By Nick Mulvenney
MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Roger Federer brushed aside fellow Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka to ease into his eighth consecutive Australian Open semi-final Tuesday, while Li Na made it two in a row in her bid to win China's first grand slam. Defending champion Federer completely outclassed his friend and compatriot 6-1 6-3 6-3 with a dazzling all-court game on Rod Laver Arena to set up a semi-final against Novak Djokovic or Thomas Berdych. "I think it was a good match for me," said second seed Federer, who is gunning for his fifth Australian Open title. "For some reason I was able to return him well. On my own service games I was really good, too. I think that really set the tone for a good match for me." Wawrinka said he was playing the best tennis of his life going into the first grand slam quarter-final between two Swiss but mustered up only one ace compared to the 24 he fired down against Andy Roddick in the fourth round. Robbed of his most potent weapon, Wawrinka certainly put in the effort but the 16-times grand slam champion just picked him apart with his full repertoire of shots. "It wasn't an easy match for him," said Federer. "The scoreline suggests maybe it was easier than it looked like. He really got into the match, especially in the second set. But I was able to mix it up well and just keep him on his toes."
Li stuttered early in both sets against Andrea Petkovic but ultimately ran out a commanding a 6-2 6-4 winner to reach her second successive semi-final at Melbourne Park, where she will meet world number one Caroline Wozniacki or Francesca Schiavone. German Petkovic conceded she too had been outclassed in her first grand slam quarter-final before declaring the big-hitting 28-year-old ninth seed her favorite to claim the year's first major title. "I certainly didn't play as well as the last matches, but it was a nice experience," said the 23-year-old. "I think she played really well. I think she's going to win the tournament. "I don't want to put pressure on her obviously," she added. "It's just a feeling. Sometimes you get the feeling during the match that somebody is really strong and just has that confidence going on, that aura maybe." Li, who lost to eventual champion Serena Williams in the last four a year ago, was just too strong for Petkovic, hammering her flat groundstrokes deep into the court and sealing her 10th straight victory in 80 minutes. "I hope I can win the tournament," said Li, who beat Kim Clijsters in the final to win the Sydney warm-up. "But if I want to win tournament, I still have two steps I need to make. It's always easy to say something." (Editing by John O'Brien)

== Interwiki ==
Please add interwiki to id: Infobox Magazine. Thanks! Meursault2004
Done. - X201
== Art Director and related fields ==
What about Art Directors, designers, and/or related titles? They often have at least as much of an impact on the magazine as the editorial itself.Jdfreivald (talk)
== Price ==
What about pricing? In the Newspaper template there's a "price" category, I don't see why magazines shouldn't have it. And I agree with JDfreivald - section editors, art directors and such deserve an option to be listed in the infobox.Timbouctou (talk)
It's policy not to. NOT#DIR Item 4 - X201 (talk)
OK, and what about the "headquarters" category which is also included in the Newspaper template? Timbouctou (talk)
:Yep. A Headquarters field is needed, but I don't think it should be called headquarters. I think a headquarters field would lead people to put in the address of the company that owns the magazine, which for large magazine empires could be miles (or even continents) away from the magazine's intended market and the location that its published in. :How would you feel about a Publisher address field? (We could work on the actual title of the field). A publisher location field would cover cover the need for a headquarters field and be specific enough to not be confused with the owners address. - X201 (talk)
::Sounds alright, but I think a Based in category would be a better option. It's short enough to be understood in any context, most magazine articles already formulate it that way in the article's lead section - and it would simplify entering multiple locations for magazines that are published worldwide which have regional head offices. I'm not sure if a detailed address is necessary at all, perhaps stating the city/town and the country should be enough. ::As for the price, if there's a consensus already that the price shouldn't be included, that's fine by me - but there are already examples of articles which clearly break the NOT#DIR Item 4 rule. For instance, it clearly states that therefore prices of a product should not be quoted in an article unless the price can be sourced and there is a justified reason for its mention. Examples of justified reasons include notable sales of rare collectors items, prices relating to discussion of a price war, and historical discussion of economic inflation. On the other hand, street prices are trivia that can vary widely from place to place and over time. Therefore, lists of products currently on sale should not quote street prices. In addition, Wikipedia is not a price guide to be used to compare the prices of competing products, or the prices of a single product across different countries or regions. However, if you take a look at Wii launch or PlayStation 3 launch articles, you will find an extensive list of street prices across different countries for the same product. With that in mind, I should also add that magazine/newspaper price could be an important component in determening its target audience or place in the market - which is in itself an important characteristic of publications. Timbouctou (talk)
== Problem with image_file tags? ==
I seem to have a bit of a problem utilizing the recommended image_file, image_size and image_caption tags, the example is here: La Civiltà Cattolica. Inside the box, above the image, "kipedia:Book sources]] allows search on many external sites. Dl2000
== Problem with ISSN field ==
Theorbtwo - Note that (some?) periodicals will have a new ISSN field for each "volume", this is often one per year. Also, some? periodicals seem to have an EAN+2 or UPC+2 barcode on the front, and the ISSN buried within. It may be more useful to list this EAN or UPC rather then the ISSN. == added ==
I added a language and circulation options. Im also going to put and outline of how to use this the main template page as people often don't check here and miss things! == Company/Publisher ==
Who added the comment "The company parameter is also available for backwards compatibility. The publisher parameter should be used instead."? This is incorrect - the two are very different - the publisher of a magazine is a person; he works for the company.

The Watts Gallery: A fitting makeover for a Victorian hero TheWatts Gallery was neglected and shabby. Now a £11.5m refit has restored its former glory, says Virginia Ironside When I was young the paintings of the Victorian artist, GF Watts were much loved in our house. Highly moral, narrative and grandiose pictures, they featured spiritual struggles and emotional torment that pulled at the heart-strings. One of his most famous works, Hope, shows a blindfolded maiden sitting on top of a golden globe, vainly plucking at the only single unbroken string of a lyre. So when, five years ago, I discovered that there was a Watts Gallery, I hotfooted down to Compton, near Guildford to have a look. Although for most of his life, Watts had lived in Kensington - he'd created his own gallery next to Leighton House - he moved to Compton at the end of his life and built a gallery to feature his work. I found all his greatest pictures there - but everything was filthy and covered with smears and dust. The pictures could hardly be seen under the layers of grime that had accumulated. There were bits of wire hanging out of the walls, damp patches in the ceilings and all the paint on the wood was chipped. There were virtually no captions to the pictures, and all round were broken tables, bits of chairs and wheezing humidifiers. In the café, the salt and pepper pots were so filthy you needed tongs to pick them up. I immediately fired off a letter to the director and offered to come down myself with a scrubbing brush to help tidy the place up. I would write captions and glue them to the walls. I'd wash and dust, and pin away the strands of flex. I would try to make the place look less unloved. I would play Kim and Aggie to How Clean is Your Art Gallery? I was astonished when, rather than receive a stuffy letter back, I got an email from the new curator, Mark Bills, who appeared to be just as distressed about the place as I was. He asked me down and told me of the plans to put in for a vast lottery bid and get the gallery back on its feet again. In view of the gallery's history, it all sounded more fantasy than a reality. When Watts died in 1904 it was run by his widow, Mary. Until her death in 1938 everything went on much as before. But then in came the modernisers. They hated the Victorian look. They lowered the picture rail, painted all the walls a dismal beige, and put in dividing walls. In the Eighties, Richard Jeffries painted the walls green, and, in an effort to recreate the Victorian look, decorated the place theatrically, with tables, potted plants, and furniture. Then the Watts Gallery secured £4.7m in Lottery money and, having come second in television's Restoration (to an old toolshed in the Midlands - but it doubled the footfall), it is now, five years and £11.5m later, restored to its former glory. The picture rail - bright green ceramic, has been uncovered and restored to its original height. The cleaned pictures will be hung one on top of another, as the Victorians liked it, and against beautifully rewoven crimson wall hangings and green paintwork. The mosaics on the outside of the buildings, previously covered, have been restored, the basement damproofed and the whole thing housing over 350 paintings, 700 drawings and 5,000 photos, many of Watts himself looking like a kind of secular God with his huge long white beard and his Titian-like hat. The potters' house now is home to a vast reference library (with a carpet designed by Mary Watts). The shed where the sculptures lived has been completely restored. Watts was a philanthropist - he set up Postman's Park in the City, in which ordinary people who died performing acts of bravery are honoured with beautiful tiled plaques. He was a prime mover in getting the Whitechapel Art Gallery for working people off the ground, and founded Roedean School. He owned an estate in Compton, six houses and a farm. Now the gallery has its eyes on buying back Watts' house next door. By end of his life, Watts had become one of the most famous artists in the world. With the enthusiasm of those now running the Watts Gallery, his place may rightly be restored to that of a giant among British Victorian artists. The Watts Gallery, Compton, near Guildford, Surrey re-opens on 18 June (www.wattsgallery.org.uk)

Romania beats Australia 3-2 in friendly Luke Wilkshire scores Australia's opening goal from the penalty spot during the International Friendly against Romania in Malaga, Spain. Picture: Denis Doyle Source: Getty Images THE Socceroos have conceded two late goals to bumble their way to a 3-2 loss against Romania in their friendly international in Spain. Australia looked headed for a come-from-behind win after defender Robert Cornthwaite put them ahead in the 54th minute with his third goal in six internationals. But strikes to Bogdan Stancu and Gabriel Torje inside the last 10 minutes ensured the higher-ranked side triumphed in Malaga. The mixed performance will give Australia coach Holger Osieck plenty to ponder ahead of next month's World Cup qualifier against Oman in Sydney. The German coach fielded a strong side, with Cornthwaite partnering captain Lucas Neill at the heart of defence with James Holland another notable selection in centre midfield. GOAL: Australia's Robert Cornthwaite scored the Socceroos' second goal against Romania. Source: AFP Romania coach Victor Piturca restored most of his key players after they were rested in Saturday's 4-1 friendly loss to Poland. The Socceroos, ranked 36th and three places lower than Romania, looked disjointed early and were put under heavy pressure. Stancu had the first decent chance when he fired just wide after Mark Bresciano had coughed up possession while Torje wasted a great early opportunity. Australia's first genuine chance fell to Matt McKay in the 24th minute but he failed to get a shot on target after some dazzling build up from Robbie Kruse. The Socceroos looked to be getting on level terms when they fell behind in the 36th minute. Wilkshire lost possession in a dangerous position, with Mark Schwarzer failing to keep hold of Torje's shot and Christian Tanase firing in from the rebound. Kruse had a chance to hit back almost immediately when he broke on goal but he scooped his shot over the bar. But Australia pulled level on the stroke of halftime through a Luke Wilkshire penalty. Holland played Alex Brosque into space in the box and the striker was clattered by Razvan Dinca Rat inside the box. Adam Federici replaced Schwarzer just after halftime while Osieck also injected Ryan McGowan off the bench in place of Wilkshire. Australia took the lead in the 54th minute when Cornthwaite struck. Neill headed McKay's corner back into the box and Cornthwaite showed good determination to poke the ball home on his second attempt. Brett Holman squandered a good chance to extend Australia's lead in the 65th minute and Federici denied Stancu with a great save in the 73rd minute. But Stancu made amends when he levelled the scores in the 80th minute, tapping in following some good lead-up work from substitute Alexandru Maxim. Romania kept their foot on the pedal and netted the winner just three minutes later, with Federici flat footed as Torje sent in a brilliant free kick after substitute Rhys Williams had fouled just outside the box. Nikita Rukavytsya, Matthew Leckie and Mark Milligan also saw time off the bench in the second.

Could it not have been possible that her mother and she were then taken to a hospital for further attention, and that a birth certificate was filled out there? That's beyond original no-no research, it's original speculation!!! but the answer to the birth dilemma might be "all of the above." Terry J. Carter (talk)
== Death and funeral: the mystery continues ==
German wikipedia explains the circumstances of her death rather well. Like other wikipedias, I think we should go for the 10th as her real date of death. Today it is 50 years ago. Both French and English wikipedia mention the claim that she did not get a Roman Catholic funeral, because the Archbishop of Paris forbade it. However, I am old enough to remember the TV news item about her funeral and the general standstill in Paris as her body was taken to Pere Lachaise. I distinctly remember the broadcaster saying a funeral service had taken place at an Orthodox church. As I could not find that on any wikipedia, I thought my memory was faulty. A bit of googling, however, proved it was not. Photo of an Orthodox Priest Performing the Funeral Rites of Edith Piaf
Since Theo Sarapo was of Greek origin, one may wonder whether he ever envisaged an RC funeral. After all, the couple married at an Orthodox church as well. Can we be sure there really was a veto by the Archbishop? Of course, Edith may have asked for an RC funeral, and after the veto, Theo may have opted for the next best thing. Or Edith may have checked with RC priests before her death (she may have known that she would not live much longer), and have got the answer that there was a veto from the Archbishop. In any case, the fact that she did get a Christian burial anyway should be mentioned if we keep the story about the veto. I agree that this is probably worth going into a little more. From what I can see, there appears to have been some question of a Catholic funeral and clear evidence of a veto. David Bret goes into this in his book. "The Piaf Legend" and quotes a statement from Maurice Feltin, the Archbishop at the time. I can only access the book in snippet form on google books, but Feltin's statement seems to have run: "The honours that the Church reserves for its dead cannot be rendered towards Edith Piaf because of an irregular situation. Those who have appreciated the talents of Madame Piaf are deeply moved by her sudden death. Christians aware of her faith and charity will not fail to beseech divine mercy for her soul at the sacrifice of the Mass". Bret goes on to say prayers were said at the cemetery by two priests: Fr Thouvenin de Villaret, and a Jesuit, Msgr Martin. Bret's implication is both were Catholic, but given Sarapo's background it would be unsurprising if there was an Orthodox priest present too. If someone knows where to look in contemporary newspaper reports (French ones would be best) then it shouldn't be too difficult to get some further clarification on this. ANB (talk)

Lethops connectens, the Halfblind goby, is a species of marine goby native to the eastern Pacific Ocean from central California, USA to Baja California, Mexico where they inhabit kelp forests. The adults hide amongst the stones and holdfasts at the bottom while the juveniles form schools in the canopy. This species can reach a length of TL. Like the name suggests, the eyes of L. connectens are highly reduced. This species is the only known member of its genus. ==See also==

"They might be being conservative here," he said. "It's possible that they want to be conservative, and show that phase first before they start talking about something which is a Mach 6 or Mach 8 scramjet airplane, or something that goes to orbit for space tourism." Still, Kothari is happy that a big name in aerospace such as EADS is bringing the discussion of hypersonic aircraft into the mainstream. "I don't want to discourage them," he said. "Any thinking of this type, or any advancement of this type, is a positive step for the future."

A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees. Camps with over a hundred thousand people are common, but as of 2012 the average camp size is around 11,400. Usually they are built and run by a government, the United Nations, or international organizations, (such as the Red Cross) or NGOs. Refugee camps are generally set up in an impromptu fashion and designed to meet basic human needs for only a short time. Due to crowding and lack of infrastructure, some refugee camps are [leading to a high

Obama promotes ACA at White House Youth Summit WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama paraphrased Vice President Joe Biden, telling an audience of young leaders the Affordable Care Act is "a big deal." The president's appearance at the White House Youth Summit was the latest in a series of administration efforts to promote the ACA, commonly known as Obamacare. In a speech in Washington earlier Wednesday, the president said the ACA will not only improve the lives of people who did not have health insurance, but also will help reduce economic inequality. In brief remarks to 160 local and national young leaders Wednesday afternoon, Obama thanked those who supported the ACA, and said the law will help young Americans purchase healthcare coverage for less than $100 a month. "The product is good; it's affordable," he said. The president's appeal to young leaders came as a Harvard Institute of Politics poll indicated Americans ages 18-29 disapprove of him, Congress and the ACA. Among voters born after 1980 -- whose support was key in Obama's 2012 re-election -- 41 percent said they approve of his job performance and 56 percent said they do not approve of the ACA. The president, as he has done multiple times in promoting the healthcare reform law, again said he will not allow the law to be repealed. "This is a big deal, to quote Joe Biden," he said, alluding to the vice president's colorful language, picked up by a live mic, when Obama signed the ACA into law in March 2010.

You must step down until you overcome your weaknesses and learn that even though you have problem with someone else’s view you have no right to forcefully try to impose yours or gag them. You wrote: “You take your system of hermeneutics and impose it on Muslims.” I do not try to impose anything on Muslims or anyone else. I want my first amendment right to show the other side that Muslims hide. I want equal rights to say that this subject has other facets too which is shared by many voiceless people. You and your zealot ilk have been strangulating me since I set my foot in this place. You kept breaking the rules of neutrality. You are in breach of the standards set by Wikipedia. You are the ones who are imposing your unilateral version. I am not trying to stop you saying whatever you want to say. I want my right to say what the critics of Islam say. You must come to term that the critics of Islam have as much right to express their views as its defenders and the only way to deal with them is not through assassination, terror and censorship. We are not a small group. But we are afraid for our lives to speak openly. Wikipedia should not become another tool of censorship and repression at the service of the Islamists. You wrote: “But, you know an aspect and it doesn't seem that you knew a very good aspect and I feel sorry for that”. Although I have been on both sides of the fence and could easily prove that it is not me that knows only one side but you, however, let us for the sake of argument say I know only one aspect of Islam and there are many more aspects to it as well. That is okay. I represent the views of the side that I subscribe to and you represent the views that you subscribe too. If there are ten different views, all of them individually could be biased but if every one is allowed to express the view that he or she represent, the articles we write collectively will not be biased. By censoring opposing views you are making the article biased. You wrote: “You seem, to have a very prescriptivist view of Islam and that should not fly in this encyclopedia.” Who is to determine whose views are “prescriptivist”? You think my views are prescriptivist and I think yours are. Why should Wikipedia reflect only yours and censor mine? Is the majority always right? I tolerate your prescriptivist views. Why can’t you tolerate mine? Wikipedia is not an apologetic book. It must reflect all views without taking side. You wrote: “Islam is defined by Muslims and outside academic views. We need Muslim theologians, academic historians and sociologists, demographers, etc. to represent this and all religions.” This is nonsense. No one is checking the credentials of the contributors to Wikipedia on any subject. Why Islam should be different. Let those who think they are expert write too. Who is stopping them? How do you know who is expert and who is not? The "truth" is relative and it is not up to an encyclopedia to tell the "truth". We must states all sides. Let the readers chose which side is the truth. All these inane excuses boil down to the fact that you have no tolerance for opposing views. All this shows you want to be a dictator here and censor views contrary to Islam. You wrote: “Don't insult Muslims or anybody and don't attempt to degrade someone because of their religion as you did me" Gren: You broke the rules of NPOV. You broke the norms of ethics. You did this out of religions zealotry. This is not an insult. You abused your power and acted dictatorially. You sound like any dictator that orders his subjects to “comply” with his fiat and then jails them and kills them if they protest accusing them of “disruptive behavior”. Dictators hate accountability. This is not an insult. This is what I am charging you of. I am charging you of abuse of power and of breaking the rules of Wikipedia. Why you did that is only my guess and my guess is that you are more motivated by your religious bigotry than by ethics or dedication to Wikipedia. You wrote: “What made it even more annoying is that you were just completely wrong for me”. Really!? So if anyone annoys your Highness, you will abuse your power and ban him? Thank you for the revelation. You are also annoying me. What should I do? Your alibis are nothing but confessions of guilt.

When his father died, Mills knew he wanted that story to be the basis of his next film. Movies as autobiography had always interested him, from Woody Allen's work in the late '70s to his first viewing of Federico Fellini's surreal "81/2," which follows an Italian director through a moment of creative crisis. For "Beginners," Mills slowly pieced his story together through remembered moments sketched out on file cards. The finished script attracted the early interest of McGregor, who saw no need for changes before shooting began. "I really liked the simple smallness of the story and that it was a true story," says McGregor in a separate interview. "It never felt like a load to carry. It's down to Mike's creativity. He's an artist, and I can see that his filmmaking is just part of his art, and it really feels like that." Mills was a skate punk from Santa Barbara who left for Manhattan at 18 to become an artist, attending college at Cooper Union, where he was "transformed." He gravitated toward graphic design, embracing "commercial art as a way to insert ourselves in the public sphere." His visual style was an ironic reflection of postwar modernism, with dots and loops and shapes and symbols for a better world. In the '90s, he designed for the X-Girl clothing line launched by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and became part of a young creative community in New York, creating images for T-shirts, skateboards and posters. He recorded an indie-rock album as the bassist for Butter 08 (with members of Cibo Matto and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and evolved into a filmmaker. That same decade, Mills cofounded the Directors Bureau - a movie production company and the first creative home for Sofia Coppola and other new directors. His early films included shorts and documentaries, exploring the lives of bop jazzman Ornette Coleman and the Huntington Beach artist-skateboarder-vegan Ed Templeton. Filmmaking is Mills' central concern now, though he'll still design an album cover for a friend, as he did recently for the new Beastie Boys release "Hot Sauce Committee Part Two." And just before arriving at this neighborhood cafe for an interview and eggs, he worked up a cover for a Beasties single, then played ball with the dog and looked over his notes for a new script. It was five years between his features. Though he keeps busy with commercials, documentaries and the occasional music video, Mills hopes the next one comes quicker. He knows that few projects will affect him the way his father's story has. "It's not all sadness and depression," he says of "Beginners" and the mourning and revelation that fueled it. "There's a big part of it that's so raw and open and realizing all the assumptions that make our lives easier are not working anymore. You're kind of like an alien walking around in a world that's quite alive."

Enugu again became the capital of the East Central State after the war finished and Biafra was dissolved in 1970. On 3 February 1976 the East Central State was broken into two new states, Imo and Anambra; there were then 19 states in Nigeria; Enugu was the capital of Anambra. On 27 August 1991 the military dictatorship of Ibrahim Babangida divided the old Anambra State into two new states, Enugu State and Anambra State. Enugu remained as the capital of the newly created Enugu State, while Awka became the capital of the new Anambra State. ==Geography==
===Topography===
Despite its name meaning hill top in the Igbo language, Enugu lies at the foot of an escarpment and not a hill. Enugu is located in the Cross River basin and the Benue trough and has the best developed coal in this area. Precambrian basement rock in this region is overlaid with sediments bearing coal from the Cretaceous and Tertiary age. Coal seams in the Enugu coal district measure between in thickness and the reserves have been estimated to be more than 300 million tonnes. Enugu's hills at the extreme may reach an elevation of. Highlands surrounding Enugu for the most part are underlain by sandstone, while lowlands are underlain by shale. Much of the escarpment stretching from Enugu to Orlu has been ravaged by soil and gully erosion. Other geological features in Enugu include the Nike Lake near which the Nike Lake Hotel has been built. The Ekulu, Asata, Ogbete, Aria, Idaw and Nyaba rivers are the six largest rivers located in the city. The Ekulu River is the largest body of water in Enugu urban and its reservoir contributes to part of the city's domestic water supply. ===Climate===
Enugu is located in a tropical rain forest zone with a derived savannah. The city has a tropical savanna climate. Enugu's climate is humid and this humidity is at its highest between March and November. For the whole of Enugu State the mean daily temperature is. As in the rest of West Africa, the rainy season and dry season are the only weather periods that recur in Enugu. The average annual rainfall in Enugu is around, which arrives intermittently and becomes very heavy during the rainy season. Other weather conditions affecting the city include Harmattan, a dusty trade wind lasting a few weeks of December and January. Like the rest of Nigeria, Enugu is hot all year round. ===Cityscape and architecture===
The tallest building in Enugu's Central Business District (CBD) is the African Continental Bank (ACB) tower with six stories. The tower was built in the late 50s for the African Continental Bank Limited which was founded by Nnamdi Azikiwe who became the first president of Nigeria after the country's independence from the United Kingdom on October 1960. The opening of the building took place on 30 April 1959. Other tall buildings include the Hotel Presidential opened on August 1963. The seven story building contains 100 rooms and is located in the Independence Layout. Hotel Presidential cost $2.5 million to build and was commissioned by the government of what was then the Eastern Region to serve visiting businessmen, officials and tourists. In the middle of Enugu is the Michael Okpara Square, dedicated to the premier of the former Eastern Region Michael Okpara. Beside the square is located the Enugu State Government House, Enugu State House of Assembly and Enugu State Judiciary Complex. Enugu's coal mines are dotted around on the outskirts of the city, a majority of which are closed. The Colliery Camp mines are located in the Iva Valley which is near the neighbouring town of Ngwo and Hilltop of Enugu. The Iva Valley coal mine is accessed through the Iva Valley road linking Enugu with Ngwo. Other coal mines are located in the Ogbete and Coal Camp layouts; these mines are located on the periphery of the city near the Iva Valley as well. Architectural design in Enugu's early years was in the hands of the British colonial administration; Enugu's architecture was consequently very European. English cottage housing and Victorian houses were used for housing Europeans and Nigerian colonial civil servants in the early 20th century until Europeans started trying to adapt their architecture to the tropical climate. Some other examples of these European styles are visible in churches of the colonial era, such as the Holy Ghost Cathedral with its Greco-Roman stained glass windows depicting Europeans. Enugu's roads were reflective of its British rule; much of the city's narrow roads in the GRA have been preserved dating back to the incorporation of the city itself.

US charges French, UAE firms over Iran exports US authorities Thursday charged firms in France and the United Arab Emirates for conspiring to export components for attack helicopters and fighter jets to Iran without a license. The Justice Department said that among the individuals and five corporate entities charged were Aerotechnic, based in Pinsaguel, France, its president Philippe Sanchez and sales manager Luc Teuly. They remain fugitives. "The indictment alleges that they were involved in the financing of such illegal arms deals and that they helped purchase and route US military components they received from the United States to Iran in violation of the Iran embargo and various US export laws and fraud laws," the Justice Department said in a statement. Officials said two defendants based in the UAE have also been indicted: Aletra General Trading, a company in Dubai doing business as "Erman & Sultan Trading Co;" and Syed Amir Ahmed Najfi, an Iranian national and purchaser for Aletra. Najfi remains a fugitive. Three defendants based in Iran have also been charged in the case including Sabanican Company, its president Hassan Seifi, and managing director Reza Seifi. "The defendants in this case are alleged to have conspired to defraud the United States by illegally acquiring and exporting fighter jet and attack helicopter components," said Todd Hinnen, acting assistant attorney general for national security. "Keeping such advanced weaponry, which is designed to protect the men and women of our armed forces and to defend our national interests, from falling into the hands of state sponsors of terror has never been more important." Four US-based defendants have also been charged in the investigation. They are The Parts Guys LLC, a company in Port Orange, Florida, and the company president Michael Edward Todd, who is a US national. Also charged were Galaxy Aviation Services, a company in St. Charles, Illinois, and its president, Hamid Seifi, an Iranian-born US national. Hamid Seifi is a brother of Hassan Seifi, one of the Iran-based defendants. Todd was arrested last year in Atlanta based on the original indictment in the case. Todd and his company The Parts Guys pleaded guilty to federal charges, and Hamid Seifi and his company pleaded guilty on February 24. On Wednesday, Seifi was sentenced to 56 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Todd is awaiting sentencing. The new charges filed include violations of the US Arms Export Control Act (AECA), the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the Iranian Transactions Regulations, as well as conspiracy to defraud the United States, money laundering and false statement violations. Some of the charges call for up to 20 years in prison.

RBS was forced to sell off its insurance business Direct Line by Brussels in return for the taxpayer bailout in 2008 and spun off a third of the operation last year, for which it has already been forced to take a goodwill writedown of £394m. The Edinburgh-based bank also needs to sell off 316 high street branches and after Santander pulled out of a deal to buy the branches last year, RBS will now breach an EU-mandated deadline to dispose of them by November. Hester said a flotation, under the old Williams & Glyn's brand, seemed most likely.

China lauds growing ties with EU BEIJING, May 19 (UPI) -- China says its partnership with the European Union, which has become its largest trading partner, is at a new historical threshold. A lengthy article in the official Xinhua news agency ahead of Wednesday's start of the 11th China-EU summit in Prague said the meeting pointed to the desire of both sides to consolidate their ties and "indicates that the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership is at a new historical threshold." The meeting comes at a time when the Communist giant, with its economic clout, seeks to play a more dominant role in world finance and develop EU for growth of its exports even as the U.S. dollar faces increasing challenge to its role as the leading world currency. "In the face of the ongoing global financial crisis, the Prague China-EU summit is expected to push forward bilateral trade and economic cooperation which remains a key element of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership," Xinhua said. Bilateral trade topped $400 billion last year and Xinhua said while EU remains China's biggest trade partner and largest export market, it has also become China's largest source of imports. "Sound cooperation between China and Europe, including participation in each other's stimulus plans, will help both sides fight trade and investment protectionism, boost confidence, and promote early recovery of the global economy," the report said. Separately, Xinhua quoted Benita Ferrero-Waldner, European commissioner for external relations, as telling a EU-China seminar in Brussels the summit will be "a milestone in our common journey" for a "new global order, ways to tackle the global recession, promote peace and save the planet."

'Promiscuous' shoppers lift Asda's market share Asda today claimed that it is attracting a record number of customers as frugal shoppers continue to favour cooking from scratch at home. Britain's second-biggest supermarket now boasts 18 million customers a week, but the announcement came as it disclosed that its sales growth in the second quarter had eased slightly to 7.2 per cent, on a like-for-like basis, compared with 8.4 per cent in the previous quarter. Judith McKenna, Asda's chief financial officer, said that the decline in sales was largely the result of a drop in food inflation, which she said had hit a two-year low. Ms McKenna said: "Undoubtedly customers are more promiscuous than the were a few years ago, but they are definitely trying us for the first time and staying with us." The company, owned by America's Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, said that groceries, fresh meat and frozen food were the star performers, which reflected the trend towards cooking at home and wasting less food. Asda's market share has reached 17 per cent, up from 16.7 per cent in the same period last year. Tesco commands 31 per cent of the market, while J Sainsbury has a 16 per cent share, according to figures from TNS, the market research group. Industry figures show that while Asda continues to outstrip Tesco and Sainsbury's, it is growing more slowly than Wm Morrison, Britain's fourth-largest supermarket group. Morrisons and Sainsbury's have both started ambitious store-opening programmes to gain market share in parts of the country where they are under-represented. Ms McKenna said that the prospect of increased competition by Morrisons" and Sainsbury's in some areas raised the importance of Asda's online growth. She said: "New-store growth in new markets is important for us and we continue to grow space, but it is also important to grow through home-shopping." Asda opened a 50,000 sq ft "internet picking" store in Howley, West Yorkshire, in July. In the pilot store, internet orders are distributed from a dedicated store, which is not open to shoppers, instead of using shelf-pickers at normal bricks-and-mortar stores. The store relieves the strain on nearby stores and increases the range of delivery-time options for internet shoppers. Wal-Mart, Asda's parent company, reported second-quarter profits of $3.4 billion (£2.1 billion), slightly down on last year, but beating Wall Street's forecasts.

Bin Laden doomed once raid began Slideshow Pakistanis mill around the front entrance of the million dollar compound where al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 3, 2011. Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces in a firefight on May 1, 2011. UPI/Sajjad Ali Qureshi WASHINGTON, May 4 (UPI) -- U.S. forces who attacked Osama bin Laden's compound were operating under rules of engagement that made it likely he would be killed, U.S. officials concede. The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday after saying Navy SEALs had orders to capture the al-Qaida leader if he gave himself up, U.S. officials later acknowledged the assault force was ordered to accept a surrender only if its members could be sure he didn't have a bomb hidden under his clothing and posed no other threat. The Times reported a senior congressional aide briefed on the rules of engagement said, "He would have had to have been naked for them to allow him to surrender." U.S. officials have retreated from assertions an armed bin Laden was killed in a firefight. Bin Laden had about $740 in euros and two telephone numbers sewn into his clothing when he was killed, U.S. intelligence officials told Congress. Politico reported the money and the phone numbers were signs bin Laden was prepared to flee and was confident he would be alerted before a U.S. strike. Three sources who attended the classified congressional briefing confirmed the details, Politico said, and a fourth said the same thing later though the White House refused to comment. CBS News later confirmed bin Laden carried the money and the numbers. Neither report said what the phone numbers contacted. In Tuesday's classified briefing, CIA Director Leon Panetta disclosed the items in bin Laden's clothing in response to a question about the scarcity of guards at bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where an elite Navy SEAL team killed him Sunday night on President Obama's orders, Politico said. The newspaper said if U.S. officials thought bin Laden believed he would get a "heads-up" before a strike, it would explain why they did not tell Pakistani officials of the raid before it was completed. Some members of Congress want to cut off aid to Pakistan or put new conditions on it, Politico reported, given the fact that bin Laden was living undisturbed in that country. One senior Republican in Congress, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., refused to consider a cut off, Politico said: "You can't trust them, and you can't abandon them. One thing that's just not an option to me is to sever ties -- that to me is a formula for a failed state." Meanwhile, former President George W. Bush turned down Obama's invitation to join him Thursday at Ground Zero -- the site of the World Trade Center, destroyed by hijacked aircraft at bin Laden's direction on Sept. 11, 2001. A Bush spokesman told Politico the former president wants "to remain largely out of the spotlight."

Review: Palm Pre, iPhone 3GS Neck-And-Neck (CBS) The smart phone wars have heated up over the past few days with the release of Palm's new Pre and Apple's announcements of a new iPhone, a cheaper price for its existing phone and a new operating system for users of all iPhones. The Palm Pre, which hit stores on Saturday for $199 after rebate (and a two year contract with Sprint) is a very worthy competitor for Apple. Unlike the iPhone it has a physical keyboard which, while a bit small, is quite good. But it also has a touch screen that you can use to launch programs, zoom, shrink or move windows and dial the phone, although there's no onscreen virtual keyboard for entering text. One of the things I like best about the Pre is that you can synchronize it over the air. Rather than connect it to a PC or Mac to move over contacts and calendar items, you simply sign in to your existing accounts and it brings over all the data via the Sprint network. It works with Google's calendar and Gmail, Yahoo and other web-based services as well as for businesses with Microsoft Exchange servers. Apple does this through its $99 a year MobileMe service but Palm does it for free with a variety of services. Like the iPhone the Pre has a media player for video and music and it does come with a cable to move music and video files from a PC or Mac. But rather than write their own synchronization software, Palm encourages users to synch their media files with Apple's free iTunes software. When a Pre is connected, iTunes thinks it's an iPod or iPhone. I'm not sure what Apple's legal department will have to say about that, but if Palm can get away with it, it makes life easier all around. I also like the way Palm organizes windows. The device's Web OS operating system is multi-tasking so you can run several programs at once but to make the most out of the Pre's small screen, each program runs in a "card" and all the cards become visible when you press the Pre's physical button below the screen. You then use your finger to flick from card to card and just touch the card you want to make full screen. To close a program you simply flick the card up and away. You can dial the phone by punching numbers on the onscreen keyboard or typing them from the physical keyboard but you're more likely to just start typing the name of the person you want to call so the phone can look up and dial the number for you. That's also the case with the Blackberry, iPhone and most other smart phones. I like the Pre a lot but I do have a few complaints. It's a little sluggish - not terrible, but enough so I notice slight delays. And while it's relatively user-friendly, it's not as friendly as the iPhone. I find myself having to think about what to do and occasionally having to type "help" to bring up the cheat sheet, whereas with the iPhone I don't recall having hardly any learning curve other than getting used to the iPhone's virtual keyboard. Except for typing on the screen (which I'm still not 100% comfortable doing), it just seemed to be obvious right out of the box. There are some things I like better about the Pre than the iPhone and the opposite is also true so, on balance, if you had to buy a smart phone today, I think the Pre and the iPhone are pretty much neck and neck. But wait - Apple isnt sitting still. Not only did the company on Monday announce a new iPhone, it also announced free software that will upgrade existing models. The iPhone 3G S (which I havent yet tested) is said to be faster than the existing 3G, have much better battery life and come with a 3 megapixel camera that can also record video. It will come with twice the memory for the same price: $199 for 16 GB and $299 for 32 GB, up from 8 and 16. The Palm Pre comes with jut 8 GB. Also, Apple reduced the starting price of its existing 3G phone to $99. Apple says that the phone will load applications faster and take advantage of upcoming planned speed improvements in AT&T's 3G network. Apple also says that the new phone will have better battery life including up to 5 hours of 3G talk time or 12 hours if you're on the 2G network. The new phone's 3 megapixel camera will also have autofocus and an automatic macro mode for close-ups. The big news is that it will record video with software that will let you easily send or post the video. Though lacking in the Pre, video is pretty common on phones but the new iPhone lets you edit video from the phone which is very cool.

If everything is fine, I think that the next step would be to submit it to be a Good Article. At that point, we ought to decide if we want to continue collaborating on this article and bring it to Featured Article status or to focus on a different article. Thunderforge
It looks good to me, exept for the chart naming every territory on the board, and when reffering to the player, it says "he or she", which I find redundant. Also, I'll try to stub Miro (Company), because that broken link doesn't look good near the top. Should we do a peer review, or go for Good straight ahead? | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here
In my experience, Good Article Nominations usually wind up having "mini peer reviews" in that when they are nominated, people comment on what is needed to make things better to bring it closer to Good Article status. I vote for going straight to Good Article Nominee. Thunderforge
Alright, you can nominate it if you like. Should we post a notice on the project page, or would that be counter-productive? | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here
I say post on the project page and support the GA nom. Thunder's right about them being mini-PRs; the GA reviewer for the article I nominated, Halo 2, helped bring it up tremendously. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs)

It would be wonderful to be able to use some of the Keenleyside photos, but I'm not sure how the copyright issues could be addressed unless by lucky chance she has a Wikimedia account and would upload digitized images to the Commons. Or, the low-res solution might work; I haven't licensed anything with a low-res, educational use rationale, but I have seen examples of it on Wikipedia. Finetooth (talk)
==GAN?==
I think we've improved the article enough that it could reasonably be submitted as a Good Article candidate. I've been through that process once as the main contributor to the article on Basin, Montana, and I've been through the process once as the reviewer of Hanford Site. This is more than zero experience with the GA process, but it is also not a lot of experience. Would you approve if I submitted the article this week as a Good Article nominee? It might be weeks or months before a reviewer volunteers to make an assessment, or it could happen more quickly. When it happens, more questions and changes are inevitable, and they will probably have to be dealt with promptly, usually seven days from the time the review is posted on this talk page. I would be happy to deal with all of the reviewer's questions and suggestions if I possibly can, but you are the expert on content, and I'm not sure I could handle every question without you. Finetooth (talk)
I'm game! For experience, I can claim nothing at all
I'll do the "paperwork" unless you'd like to. You'll find a full explanation of the details at GAN. The reviewer could be anybody in the world except you or me. The reviewer of my Basin, Montana, article was a geographer from Scotland who made excellent suggestions that led me to add a whole new section dealing with the 14,000 years of Montana history before the arrival of gold prospectors in the Basin area in the 1860s. Having an outsider with fresh eyes and acute powers of observation was most helpful in improving the article. On the other hand, we are not obligated to agree with every suggestion a reviewer might make, and if things go really badly, we can withdraw the nomination. I assume you wouldn't mind if I fixed the nit-picky things like missing italics and comma splices without discussion, but we could discuss any big changes before doing anything radical. And, as you know, all changes can be reverted. Finetooth (talk)
:Ok, I am grateful to you for the "paperwork"
::Done this morning. "History" seemed to be the most appropriate category, and Franklin is #14 on the waiting list. I added the required tag to the top of this talk page. Finetooth (talk)
==Caption improvements, page numbers==
I've been adding a little more information to each of the short captions to make them more interesting and to tie them better to the main text. When I clicked on Franklin raerels 800.jpg to read the image description, I noticed that someone (or a robot) had inserted a tag asking for more information. If you could fill this in with any relevant data (what the objects are, where they were found, or other who, what, where, when data) that you have, it would be helpful. Some or all of this information could then be used in the caption. On a more nit-picky level, if you know the exact page numbers or range of page numbers for citations 71 (Atwood) and 72 (Potter), it would be good to include them. I can add them if you tell me what they are. Finetooth (talk)
==Non-free use==
If any of the Keenleyside scientific images become available to you, the Wikipedia template might come in handy. Although the Commons does not accept non-free content, Wikipedia allows some if the rationale is appropriate. I think the low-res, educational use, important for reader understanding, no free images available rationale would be acceptable. See RAT for more information. Finetooth (talk)
== Peglar's friend ==
I wonder whether it's appropriate to state, matter-of-factly, that Armitage was "a friend of Peglar". Is there any documentation that he was? Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the only grounds for stating so is that Armitage had served on a ship previously with Peglar, which can hardly lead from A to B. 71.136.180.146 (talk)
This is a reasonable point
I'll toss in my two cents too.

Italy president set to announce choice for prime minister By Philip Pullella
ROME (Reuters) - Italy's president Giorgio Napolitano is set to announce on Wednesday his choice of prime minister to form a new government and pull the euro zone's third largest economy out of a two-month political rut. The new coalition government, which could take office in a matter of days, would be backed primarily by the rivals on the center-left and center-right, the same parties that had refused to cut a deal since national elections in late February. The person in pole position to receive the mandate is former Prime Minister Giuliano Amato, although the mayor of Florence, Matteo Renzi and center-left deputy leader Enrico Letta have also emerged as possible candidates. Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom (PDL), the center-left Democratic Party (PD) and the centrist Civic Choice movement of outgoing premier Mario Monti have all said they would cooperate with whoever Napolitano chooses. "Given the crisis the country finds itself in, the country needs a strong, a durable government that can make important decisions...," Berlusconi said after meeting Napolitano. Letta, of the badly fractured PD, said his party would back any government committed to tackling the "social-economic emergency," and enacting serious political reform, including changes to a dysfunctional electoral law. At the election, the center-left narrowly won a majority in the lower house but failed to win control of the Senate and was not able to form a government. Hopes that the impasse would soon be over gave a further boost to financial markets on Tuesday, with the yield on 10-year Italian government bonds dropping below 4 percent and the spread, or risk premium over German bonds, narrowing further. Italy's economy has been the most sluggish in Europe for more than a decade and mired in a deep recession since the middle of 2011, with no recovery in sight.
Napolitano bent the will of the uncollaborative parties on Monday when he was inaugurated for an unprecedented second term. He berated the parties for their "irresponsibility" in prolonging a political deadlock for nearly two months. He threatened to resign unless the parties agreed to cooperate and find some middle ground on much needed reforms. The PD has emerged the most scarred from the crisis. Deep internal divisions forced its leader, Pier Luigi Bersani, to resign after the PD's inability to cut a deal with either Berlusconi's center-right or the shock new third political force, Beppe Grillo's 5-Star Movement. Berlusconi has capitalized on the center-left's woes. One poll gave the center-right a clear lead of around 8 points. The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement of former comedian Grillo, which won a quarter of the vote and speaks for millions of Italians disillusioned with an entire political class, told Napolitano it would sit in opposition and may support specific reforms. The Left Ecology Freedom party (SEL), a former partner of the PD, and Berlusconi's allies in the Northern League also said they would not join a coalition led by Amato. (Editing by Robin Pomeroy)

Tsonga into Montpellier last eight Tsonga into Montpellier last eight Oct 27 02:55 PM US/Eastern French number one Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Portugal's Federico Gil 6-3, 6-4 to qualify for the quarter finals at the Montpellier ATP event here on Wednesday. Despite numerous break points against him the second seed came through his second round match courtesy of his attacking game and 11 aces to signal a return to form after a three month spell struggling with a left knee injury. Also through to the last eight was the Russian top seed Nikolay Davydenko, who defeated German journeyman Mischa Zverev 7-5, 6-3.

Jose Mourinho will consider other options if Chelsea's potential final bid for Man Utd striker Wayne Rooney fails Asked specifically about Samuel Eto'o, his former striker at Inter Milan, Mourinho said: "For me, as a manager, I'm happy that a player who worked with me before goes publicly and says he'd like to join me again. "Especially a player like Samuel, a player with a big history in European football." Mourinho also outlined his personal emotion and excitement at preparing for his return to the Premier League on Sunday after almost six years and vast success working in Italy and Spain. "I see myself as somebody who should be in this competition because it's my favourite one, and I can say that because I had experiences in the other three countries," he said. "When I have this passion for this football country, I'm in my natural habitat. I have to work for my club, but at the same time I'm working for English football and I want to give my best. I am now better than ever because experience helps us to be better. "We are not like players, us managers, when age sometimes is a negative. But I want to be seen as someone who wants to give everything for his club. I look forward to the salt and pepper of football. I love football. "I love the salt and pepper, the unpredictability of every game, the result, of who is going to win, who is going to qualify for top four, who is going to be relegated. I love all that. So let's go for it full of joy. "I hope every fan is the same. I go to Stamford Bridge, I go to my people. But, at the same time, I want to say to everyone around this country who goes to football every weekend at every stadium, I'm one of them. "I'm not just a Blue. I'm one of them, someone who loves this football country. I try to give joy to everybody." It was also put to Mourinho that, according to Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore, he would bring "stardust" to the competition. "If he's the boss and says that, maybe he's right," said Mourinho.

At the moment the season synopses section gives more information (so more useful), and so the summary table should be deleted. Perhaps in the future when you get so many seasons that the article get so big that it becomes a big problem for many users, then the summary table can replace the season synopses because that will make the article smaller.

Why mention academy awards under awards. American Idol is a singing show not acting show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.154.240.4 (talk)
== 7 consecutive #1 in TV ratings ==
Please don't change the information given in the lead section on #1 for 7 consecutive seasons. American Idol is only #1 in season 2003/2004 for the Tuesday episode. It is not #1 for the show as a whole that season. It doesn't make sense to say it's #1 for 8 consecutive seasons because if you consider the performance and result shows separately, then it is 6 #1 for the performance show and 2 #1 for the result shows (and they are not consecutive). Hzh (talk)
Hzh, I referred to your edits as careless because first you came to the article as well as my user talk page stating that I didn't support my edits with a source when I absolutely did, then you reverted my talkpage which is against Wikipedia policy. I've done numerous searches on how many seasons American Idol was the most watched show, all of which have explicitly stated an "8 year streak"; yours, however, which reads like a blog and has "chatter opinions" on it remains the odd man out. Contesting the nature of "one" of my sources doesn't change the fact that there are yet numerous other sources I've provided which also state 8 years. And by the way, there are more sources where that came from, I just chose not to completely clog the page with abounding sources as it seems you're the only person that needs such validation. To state 7 years would make the information in question "outdated" as the show has surpassed a 7 year long streak. Also, nobody has stated that the show is a game show, but a reality game show. There's a difference and it's what American Idol is classified as. Also, I highly suggest you not revert again otherwise you will be in violation of the three-revert rule.AmericanDad86 (talk)
I have already explained to you in my message to why it is not valid to say 8 consecutive years, you need a better source that actually deal with this. The sources you gave are citing the NBC press releases bragging about its win (and please don't give so many sources which came from one same source), its not an independent source. What's claimed is vague enough not to make the distinction between a part of the show, and the whole show. This article is about the whole show, not just the performance or the result shows, and American Idol is not #1 for 8 consecutive season for the whole show. This is the issue you must address. It is completely wrong to say that American Idol is a game show, it is not, reality or otherwise. It is a competition. Read the title of the section, it says competition/game show, not game show. American Idol was nominated in Emmy as reality-competition show, not as a reality game show. You have nothing to support your claim. Hzh (talk)
Emmy in fact makes the difference quite clear, it has separate categories for game and competition shows - Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show and Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program; and a separate award for their host - Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host, Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. Game show and reality-competition are two different genres. Hzh (talk)
There's no more risk of violating 3RR. The page has been fully protected while you two hash this out. Enjoy! There hasn't been any 3RR by me, the reverts were actually over 24 hours. Just to add a number of references that give an accurate count - article written at start of season 9 and it's 5 consecutive years at the top after season 8. Here after season 9, it gives 6 consecutive years, breaking the record of All in the Family and Cosby Show. Its run of 7 consecutive seasons at the top ends in 2011 (i.e. after season 10), given here. That's the accurate count given for a number of years, not just one single year.

Doctor Who: Peter Capaldi announced as new Time Lord Peter Capaldi, best known for playing foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in political satire The Thick of It, has been named as the 12th actor to play the Doctor in the TV series Doctor Who. The 55-year old Glasgow-born actor, a self-confessed lifelong Doctor Who fan, is the oldest actor to play the Time Lord since the first Doctor, William Hartnell, in 1963. He will replace Matt Smith, the youngest ever Doctor at 26 when he was introduced in 2009. The new Doctor was announced in a special live broadcast on BBC1 on Sunday night. Capaldi had been firmly installed as the bookies' favourite ahead of contenders including Luther's Idris Elba, Ben Whishaw and Daniel Rigby, despite a cloak of secrecy surrounding the identity of the new Doctor. Internally the BBC referred to the selection process as project Houdini, with reportedly only 10 people knowing Capaldi had been chosen. "It is so wonderful not to keep this secret any more," he said. "For a while I couldn't even tell my daughter. Being asked to play the Doctor is an amazing privilege. Like the Doctor himself I find myself in a state of utter terror and delight. I can't wait to get started." Capaldi admitted that it would be tricky to throw off the spectre of his most famous on screen persona, the wily and unscrupulous spin doctor Malcolm Tucker for the hit BBC show. "I think Malcolm has been banished from the mirror by the new Doctor who wouldn't put up with Malcolm's attitude to the world," said Capaldi in an interview with Zoe Ball. Capaldi, who described himself as a "full anorak" Doctor Who fan who once wrote a letter aged 15 about Doctor Who to the Radio Times, admitted he was yet to get his head around being named as one of British TV's most enduring and best loved characters. "He's not me yet," he said. "But he is reaching out and hopefully we will get it together. Even though I am a lifelong Doctor Who fan I've not played him since I was nine. I downloaded old scripts and practised those in front of the mirror." Capaldi is not completely new to Doctor Who, having appeared in the programme playing Caecilius in the episode "The Fires of Pompeii" in 2008 with David Tennant. Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer of Doctor Who, said: "It's an incendiary combination: one of the most talented actors of his generation is about to play the best part on television." he said. " Peter Capaldi is in the Tardis." Capaldi said he had his phone on silent when he received the call that he had got the role - he was in Prague shooting a BBC remake of the Three Musketeers, where he plays Cardinal Richelieu. An assistant delivered the good news by saying: "Hello Doctor." Moffat said Capaldi had been thought of before but that the timing had not been right. "We all had an idea, we all had the same idea, it was quite a different idea," he said. "We got the notional 12th Doctor around to my house and made a home video. "Everyone said 'yes' that is the Doctor. There comes a right time for the right person to play it. That moment has arrived." The live announcement was broadcast simultaneously on BBC America, highlighting the increasing popularity of the franchise internationally and growing importance of the world's biggest TV market for the BBC franchise. In Doctor Who lore Capaldi is the 12th Doctor, leaving just one left and raising the long-held question of how the script writers will overcome the problem to keep the franchise going. "We're getting towards the end of the incarnation cycle and everyone always remembers that bit of the overall plot," said Tom Spilsbury, editor of the official Doctor Who magazine. "The question is probably a few years away now for Doctor Who fans, I don't think they will be worried about it just yet. Doctor Who is popular so [the BBC] will invent away to get around it when the time comes, won't they?" The hope of a first female Doctor has once again been dashed, though Moffat tantalisingly hinted that the prospect remained for the future. "Time Lord's can change gender, so it is not against the rules," he said. Jenna Coleman, who will remain as the Doctor's companion when Capaldi takes over the role next year, said: "With Steven's writing and his talent I know we'll be making an amazing show with an incredible incarnation of number 12. I can't wait to start this new adventure."

7 students arrested in SAT cheating scheme 7 students arrested in SAT cheating scheme - Crime & courts updated 1 hour 36 minutes ago Crime & courts 7 students arrested in SAT cheating scheme Long Island high schoolers allegedly paid up to $2,500 to have college student impersonate them and take exam msnbc.com A college student flew home to New York to impersonate high schoolers who paid him to take the SAT on their behalf, and even took the exam twice in one weekend under different identities, prosecutors said Tuesday. Between 2010 and 2011, six students at Long Island's Great Neck North High School paid Sam Eshaghoff, 19, between $1,500 and $2,500 each to take the SAT for them, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said. All seven students involved were arrested for their alleged roles in the cheating scandal Tuesday morning. Eshaghoff faces up to four years in prison, NBCNewYork.com reported. The six who are charged with hiring him face misdemeanor charges; their names are not being made public due to their ages. Eshaghoff graduated in 2010 from Great Neck North, a public school that ranks among the nation's best, according to FOX News, with notable alumni including filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Eshaghoff spent his freshman year at the University of Michigan, then transferred to Emory University in Atlanta sophomore year. He flew back to Long Island on numerous weekends to take the SAT, where the high school students had registered at different schools so their faces wouldn't be recognized, prosecutors said. Eshaghoff presented a forged driver's license with his picture and the paying student's name each time he took the test, they said. A perfect SAT score is 2400. Eshaghoff scored between 2140 and 2220 for the students, New York Daily News said. At least once, Eshaghoff impersonated two students in one weekend, flying home from school to take the test twice, Rice said. "Colleges look for the best and brightest students, yet these six defendants tried to cheat the system and may have kept honest and qualified students from getting into their dream school," Rice said. Eshaghoff also allegedly took the test for a seventh student, a girl, but did not make her pay, the Daily News reported. Scores didn't match up with GPAs
High school faculty had become suspicious when they heard rumors of students paying a third party to take the SAT for them early this year, prosecutors said. They managed to nail down the six suspected high schoolers by comparing past academic performance to SAT scores of students who had taken the test at a different school. The giveaway was "large discrepancies between [the six students'] academic performance records and their SAT scores," said Rice, reported FOX. She said administrators were able to track the tests to Eshaghoff after a handwriting analysis. The district attorney's office said it is also investigating whether Eshaghoff took the exam for other students, and whether cheating has taken place at at least two other high schools in the county. "Colleges look for the best and brightest students, yet these six defendants tried to cheat the system and may have kept honest and qualified students from getting into their dream school," Rice said. Eshaghoff's bond was set at $1,000. The other six were released on their own recognizance. Eshaghoff's attorney, Matin Emouna, said his client is not guilty. "He has cooperated with the investigation, and he denies the charges," Emouna said, according to FOX. Educational Testing Service (ETS), which administers the SAT, was unable to provide documentation of cheating to prosecutors, citing a computer crash, according to NBC. If students are suspected of cheating, ETS's policy is not to notify colleges or high schools, but simply to cancel the score and offer a refund or a chance to take the test again for free, NBC reported. Great Neck School District released a statement saying it "does not tolerate cheating" and remains "committed to cooperating with law enforcement in the matter." © 2011 msnbc.com Reprints Video coverage More from Crime & courts

Public mistake Chinese lanterns for distress flares By Sarah Knapton
Published: 2:03PM BST 06 Jul 2009 The setting off of sky lanterns - which use hot air from a tea light candle to lift the lanterns into the air - has become popular in Britain since the Bali bombings in 2002, which killed 182 people, when lanterns were released as a tribute to each of the dead. But the trend of using Chinese lanterns in Britain has resulted in a deluge of calls to the emergency services from people thinking they are SOS flares to claims they are UFOs. Now the Coastguard service are urging people to call them if they are launching Chinese lanterns along the coast at dusk following a spate of false alarms that has led to teams being sent out unnecessarily. Ted Ingham of Dover Coastguard, said: "Around the coast of the UK, we have received numerous reports recently of'red flares' that have turned out to be Chinese lanterns being let off along the coast. "Just last night we were called about a'red flare' sighting between Bexhill and Pevensey that turned out to be a Chinese lantern. "Please could we ask you to contact us if you are taking Chinese lanterns to the beach at dusk. We do experience this problem with firework displays too and have been successful in encouraging organisers to inform us of their intentions, so that we know the likely source of'red flare sightings." Chinese Lanterns were invented in the third century AD and used as a military signal. They are believed to be the world's first hot-air balloon. In the 13th century, Chinese lanterns became a symbol of hope and good wishes but many people use them for weddings and special occasions. Recently releases have sparked off a string of 999 calls to the emergency services with people believing the fast moving lights are UFOs.

This redirect takes a rather common term, "Perry's", and redirects it to the page of a corporate product ("Perry's Ice Cream"). Other Perry's items, such as Perry's Chemical Handbook, Perry's Cove, Perry's Victory, Perry's Probe, etc etc, exist. There is no reason the term "Perry's" should redirect to this specific product and not the others. I propose deletion of the redirect so that the Search page is brought up instead. 216.191.79.10 (talk)

→ Db (links to redirect)
Delete. Ths redirect is misleading as it redirects to only one possible way of deleting an article. I've had to remove it from several articles where it would appear that the user has not realised that this'redirect' should only be applied to speedy deletion candidates and assumed it is the general way for deleting soemthing from wikipedia. I'd be surprised if this wasn't controversial but it hasn't been discussed for quite some time so I thought it would be worth discussing. Dpmuk (talk)
Comment this should be replaced by a "template" that says that it's incorrect and they should read DELETE for the proper template. 76.66.192.144 (talk)
Comment Agree with anon.. unless someone can do some fancy namespace detection coding and make the template automagically detect what the user is trying to delete? Keep, the admin who works through CSD can determine whether speedy deletion is appropriate and decide whether to use other processes or to politely ask the tagger to use a more specific tag. For stuff that falls under or, works perfectly fine. — Kusma talk
Keep The most useful thing to do in situations where it might be used is to promptly call it to the attention of an administrator, which is what this redirect accomplishes. ~ Ningauble (talk)
Keep, per Ningauble. I've run across a few dodgy speedy taggings using this template, generally by very new users. If the article isn't speediable, often they're perfectly viable PROD candidates, so I just convert them. The redirect helps bring dodgy content to admins' attention even if it isn't always used exactly in accordance with our rather complex deletion policy, so I believe it's ultimately useful. ~ mazca talk
Keep, per all above. Nom's concerns can be addressed either by adding a note in the documentation of the target to mention that is a template that summarizes deletion options (note that appears on ) or by creating a which lists the various templates used in the various modes for deletion (we have such a list in projectspace, but this might be a worthwhile alternative).

This type of stress may be called isotropic normal or just isotropic; if it is compressive, it is called hydrostatic pressure or just pressure. Gases by definition cannot withstand tensile stresses, but liquids may withstand very small amounts of isotropic tensile stress. === Cylinder stresses ===
Parts with rotational symmetry, such as wheels, axles, pipes, and pillars, are very common in engineering. Often the stress patterns that occur in such parts have rotational or even cylindrical symmetry. The analysis of such cylinder stresses can take advantage of the symmetry to reduce the dimension of the domain and/or of the stress tensor. == General stress ==
Often, mechanical bodies experience more than one type of stress at the same time; this is called combined stress. In normal and shear stress, the magnitude of the stress is maximum for surfaces that are perpendicular to a certain direction d, and zero across any surfaces that are parallel to d. When the stress is zero only across surfaces that are perpendicular to one particular direction, the stress is called biaxial, and can be viewed as the sum of two normal or shear stresses. In the most general case, called triaxial stress, the stress is nonzero across every surface element. === The Cauchy stress tensor ===
Combined stresses cannot be described by a single vector. Even if the material is stressed in the same way throughout the volume of the body, the stress across any imaginary surface will depend on the orientation of that surface, in a non-trivial way. However, Cauchy observed that the stress vector T across a surface will always be a linear function of the surface's normal vector n, the unit-length vector that is perpendicular to it. That is, T = \boldsymbol{\sigma}(n), where the function \boldsymbol{\sigma} satisfies
\boldsymbol{\sigma}(\alpha u + \beta v) = \alpha\boldsymbol{\sigma}(u) + \beta\boldsymbol{\sigma}(v)
for any vectors u,v and any real numbers \alpha,\beta. The function \boldsymbol{\sigma}, now called the (Cauchy) stress tensor, completely describes the stress state of a uniformly stressed body. (Today, any linear connection between two physical vector quantities is called a tensor, reflecting Cauchy's original use to describe the "tensions" (stresses) in a material.) In tensor calculus, \boldsymbol{\sigma} is classified as second-order tensor of type (0,2). Like any linear map between vectors, the stress tensor can be represented in any chosen Cartesian coordinate system by a 3×3 matrix of real numbers.

iPad 5 to be released in March? Upset you didn't get a shiny new iPad 4 for Christmas? Well, take a deep breath. If the latest iPad rumors are true, it would have been outdated in just a couple of months anyway. Apple is reportedly preparing to release its new model of the tablet in March. The Apple news blog 9to5Mac has published reports that the new iPad 5 will have design elements of the recently-released iPad mini incorporated into it. A source claims the new iPad will be thinner and lighter than its predecessor with a 9.7-inch display, 9to5Mac reports. Apple unveiled the iPad 4 and iPad mini in October, and released them in November. The Japanese blog Makotakara also added that the iPad mini would be equipped with a retina screen in its second generation. Get more tech news and reviews at news.com.au.

Palin's TV Series a Stage for Political Future? Published November 13, 2010
"Sarah Palin's Alaska" portrays the show's heroine as an adventure-loving wife and mother enjoying a whirlwind of activities amid spectacular settings in her home state. There are no overt clues to her future political ambitions in the first episode of the eight-part TLC documentary series that begins Sunday. However, Palin's outdoorsy image against the stunning scenery often plays nicely with her familiar political message. There are scenes that are sure to suggest to some viewers that the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is positioning herself for a 2012 presidential run. There are contrary messages, too. In a promo for the show with a montage of outdoor scenes, she says would rather "be being doing this than in some stuffy old political office."

Hi, can you please tell me how to contact the editor who deleted my link? I don't see a way to do so but it seems only fair that I should be able to explain myself in hopes that the editor agrees.

== Help with Cygnus Business Media page ==
I would like some third party assistance, please. Over the past several months, I have been trying to provide facts on Wikipedia's Cygnus Business Media page. One former employee - Rich Handley - continues to add commentary and misrepresent facts. There is also a person called "The Truth Please" that you'll note has ONLY edited the Cygnus Business Media page and consistently adds editorial. In this:
This was a private sale and ONLY the principals know the exact price. I edited out the amount and now it continues to show up. It is not fact and I wrote that in the comment section. This is misrepresented and is inflammatory:
Paul and Rich did not leave because of the Standard and Poor's report which looks at debt and other things when it makes its reports. It has nothing to do with operations. Other problems:
Companies reorganize all the time, I'm sure Bob and Paul would not like to be used in this way, quotes should be take n away from "brand directors"
Again, estimated. This is just another way for our former employees and competitors to paint us in a bad light. The bloggers all remained anonymous so it is unfair to state this. This memo below was done as "tongue and cheek"
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.32.213 (talk)
The passages above are cited, with the exception of the sale amount, but I found and added a citation for that. You've obviously admitted a COI here; while that editor may indeed be a disgruntled employee, they're only echoing what's already been published in other sources. I did remove the last part, as the source didn't mention any kind of backlash. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs)

The dispute is over a small easter egg or feature in the Pokémon Games where in Vermilion City has a Truck located in the port. Though it has had many false rumors about the truck, the truck is real and is one of the only vehicles I know of in the Pokemon games except for the moving van in Sapphire, Rubby, and Emerald. The user has continued to say the information is speculation despite the many references i have posted, even putting a picture of the truck up ctually take the time to listen to the other person. It might make things easier if each of your posts aren't full of accusations and name-calling. - Arcayne (cast a spell)
Without reading up on the background to this, and just going on what's been said here, I must say that Planecrash needs to pay careful attention to both Civility and Assume good faith. Those are the behavioural standards here, and I've seen multiple violations of them, just on this page. I'm not interested in how rude the other guy was; you need to clean up your own act. On a more general note, it seems to me that you two both want to improve Wikipedia's coverage of NASCAR. Since you're on the same side, maybe the two of you should make an effort to work together.

Critics from both sides of the aisle take on Obama's health care 'fix' WASHINGTON - Critics from both sides of the aisle took on President Obama's last-minute "fix" to his signature health care law Thursday, with some Democrats saying they remained "concerned" while Republicans renewed calls for delaying its implementation. Obama, under pressure to correct one of the plan's most glaring problems, offered a solution that would allow people to keep their current insurance policies for another year, even if their coverage doesn't meet the minimum requirements under the Affordable Care Act. However, the president's proposal fell flat with Republicans and even some Democrats. The insurance industry also weighed in, warning Obama's move could destabilize its market and even result in higher consumer premiums. The president spoke just 24 hours before a vote was scheduled in the House Friday on a bill giving people the option to keep their current health insurance plans if they want them - even if those plans don't meet the minimum ObamaCare standards for coverage. The bipartisan criticism of Obama's remarks was swift. "Enough with the temporary fixes and deadline extensions," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in a written statement after Obama spoke. "We should dismantle this law, so Americans can choose the insurance plan that works for them, not President Obama." Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., said, "Our main priority should be helping the American people. Today's abrupt pivot comes after the White House has spent the last week attacking our thoughtful approach to begin to give peace of mind to those folks worried about losing their affordable health care." Oregon Democrat Sen. Jeff Merkley said he believed the one-year fix doesn't go far enough but was "a step in the right direction." Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said he was still "concerned about people having policies which don't do anything. They're just junk policies." Echoing the frustration he said many in his party have with the rollout, he added "I want it fixed so the Affordable Care Act will succeed... not be torn down." But he also said, "I don't think we should have done what we did today, quite frankly." "The president's guidance is a great step forward," said Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. But, she added, "I'm going to continue to work with the leadership. I'm open to working with Democrats and Republicansif there is a legislative fix that's also necessary." Landrieu is sponsoring a bill that would extend current insurance plans indefinitely. House Speaker John Boehner said he was "highly skeptical" the Obama administration would be able to fix the problems with ObamaCare administratively, as the president suggested. Boehner, a Republican from Ohio, has recently ramped up his criticism of ObamaCare, calling it "a rolling calamity that has to be stopped." "This is going to destroy the best health care delivery system in the world," Boehner said moments before the president's remarks. The president also drew criticism from the insurance industry, now charged with implementing his "fix." "The only reason consumers are getting notices about their current coverage changing is because the ACA (Affordable Care Act) requires all polices to cover a broad range of benefits that go beyond what many people choose to purchase today," America's Health Insurance Plans" President Karen Ignagni said following Obama's comments. "Changing the rules after health plans have already met the requirements of the law could destabilize the market and result in higher premiums for consumers," she warned During his remarks, Obama also apologized to members of his own party for denting their credibility among constituents. "I think it's legitimate for them to expect me to have to win back some credibility on this health care law in particular and on a whole range of these issues in general," Obama said. He also apologized to millions of Americans who have been receiving cancellation letters from their insurance providers. "I completely get how upsetting this could be for many Americans," Obama said. White House officials said they will send a letter to state insurance commissioners specifying that current plans sold to existing customers will not be considered out of compliance with the health care law in 2014. That means insurance companies don't have to drop current customers for at least a year. Part of the problem was that the ObamaCare law specified what needed to be covered, which was basically everything including the kitchen sink.For example, couples in their 60"s got canceled because their insurance did not have pre-natal coverage. Obama's fix basically buys some time for millions of Americans in danger of being dropped by their provider. "I am confident that by the time we look back on this next year, people are going to say, "this is working out well,"" Obama said.

Alan Bennett: too nice to be great? The Habit of Art: read Charles Spencer's review In the preface to his new play, The Habit of Art, Alan Bennett quotes WH Auden: "Real artists are not nice people. All their best feelings go into their work and life has the residue." Having been steadily productive for half a century or more, Bennett has certainly channelled himself into his work, but as a forthcoming Arena documentary once again communicates, he also seems to be a nice person. So does he rank as a real artist, alongside Auden, or is he better thought of as a superb literary entertainer and national treasure? His middle-market popularity and cuddly Yorkshire persona (both of which he shares with his contemporary David Hockney) make him easy to underrate. Yet he seems to lack the ruthlessness of "the real artist": his instinct is to please and tease rather than shock and mock. He isn't a master of large-scale structures, nor a compelling storyteller (he has never published a full-length novel, and it's hard to imagine him doing so). He says somewhere that he writes in three-minute arcs, and his plays work in the rhythm of scenes rather than acts - something I felt very strongly when I saw The Habit of Art, where the meat of the theme is only a thin filling for a thick sandwich made up of the bread of whimsical theatrical flimflam. You couldn't call Bennett a miniaturist, but I'd say he was at his most assured and impressive as a sketch-writer, diarist, essayist and television dramatist. His subject matter is certainly rich and various. He's mined his own northern childhood and family circumstances, from early television plays such as A Day Out and Sunset Across the Bay to the recent memoirs collected in Untold Stories. He is the cheerleader, one might say, of the old, frail and depressive, of the physically and emotionally constipated, embodying their flat vision of life in a verbal idiom that he has, in a sense, invented. "It's pure Alan Bennett," we say, as we might also say of Beckett or Pinter. There are stylistic tricks involved in this, of course, such as his recourse to bathos (for example, "she made the corpse of Emily Bronte seem like something out of No, No, Nanette"). He is loved for these faintly camp one-liners, at their most brilliant in his historical cavalcade Forty Years On, but the nobler part of him lies in his ability to capture the dignified resilience that underpins characters such as the women of Talking Heads for whom life has proved a frustrating and disappointing business. It would be impertinent to speculate how frustrating or disappointing Bennett's own life has been, but he seems to have kept the usual demons at bay. In the Arena film, the persona he presents is the familiar one: it makes great play with his early life in suburban Leeds, and in particular his empathy with the women who dominated it and did most of the talking. The film also shows him to be a bit of a show-off, adept at making the WI ladies chuckle at a risqué joke or a wry observation, reminding us that for all his claims to be shy and diffident to the point of neurosis, he has always been ready to stand up and do a great comic turn. Nice is exactly what he seems to be, even to the point of letting Miss Shepherd, the Lady in the Van, park in his driveway for 15 years. But, as he admits, "there's always a monkey on my shoulder, watching"," and as Miss S provided him with marvellous material, one has to wonder to what extent the niceness isn't a carefully calculated part of the act or just his way of keeping the monkey hidden. Bennett isn't all Yorkshire. Oxford University made him, too, and the journey there from Leeds - also undergone by a rather implausible bunch of sixth-formers in his penultimate stage play, The History Boys - was one of his life's defining rites of passage. It was at Oxford that Bennett discovered himself and found his voice: in the television film, he reveals that his writing career started with the composing of satirical comments for the suggestions book of his JCR, paragraphs that developed into the don and vicar sketches he contributed to Beyond the Fringe, the student revue that brought him to fame in the early Sixties. The popular image of a bespectacled Bennett riding his bicycle in stately fashion, wearing tweed jacket, cord trousers and gym shoes, suggests that Bennett is as much the Oxford DPhil as he is the scholarship boy from up north. He could well have stayed in academia (with English medieval history as his speciality); his bequest of all his papers to the Bodleian Library suggests that a bit of him would like to have done so.

A-League's Wanderers fearless: Postecoglou Date February 15, 2013 - 2:58PM
Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou expects Western Sydney to be playing fearless football when the clubs fight for a coveted A-League top two berth on Saturday night. The Wanderers stretched their winning streak to five - the competition's best this season - and overtook the Victory to move into second spot when they downed the Newcastle Jets on Sunday. Another win at AAMI Park on Saturday night would put the Wanderers five points clear of Postecoglou's third-placed side and well on track to book a home semi-final, which comes with a top-two finish. Postecoglou, who nominated the Wanderers' overseas imports as a major source of their success, said the belief built by their succession of wins would make them even tougher opposition. Advertisement "They're running on that momentum now, which is a pretty powerful thing," the Victory coach told reporters on Friday. "They're obviously playing with a lot of confidence and probably playing a little bit fearlessly because they've certainly exceeded everyone's expectations. "They've got some good players, there's no doubt about it, particularly their foreigners." One of those imports, Dutchman Youssouf Hersi, has scored three goals in the club's past two games. The Victory have lost striker Archie Thompson (hamstring) - who is also in doubt for the following round's clash with top-placed Central Coast - and defender Adama Traore (suspension). But midfield linchpin Mark Milligan returns from Socceroos duty and former Adelaide United player Daniel Mullen - signed this week on loan from Chinese club Dalian Aerbin - will step straight into a central defensive role. "Obviously we've got quite a few absences tomorrow and with seven games plus finals to go there's no point easing him in," Postecoglou said of Mullen. "He's feeling pretty comfortable with things, he's had a good pre-season (in China) and we throw him in there." Postecoglou said while Saturday's clash was important, he didn't believe a defeat would end the Victory's hopes of claiming the minor premiership and Asian Champions League berth that comes with it.

In one case, it took him two years to prove fraud because the family was so adept at covering its tracks. In another case, parents who had falsified an address so their child could attend Beverly Hills schools were found to live in Hawthorne. Reid, himself a product of Beverly Hills schools, has been on the job for 15 years. Like the best fictional private eyes, he stakes out homes and follows students to and from school. Over the years, he has developed a good rapport with apartment owners and landlords and notified police when one was found to be selling Beverly Hills addresses on Craigslist.com. Most distressing, he said, is interviewing nervous children who want to be honest but are pressured by their parents to lie. "I want to err on the side of children, of caution, because you are determining their future," he said. "So you have to be real careful. A lot of watching, interviewing and research goes into it. I do find that some people we investigate live here. Not everyone is lying and cheating, and I feel good when I find that."

Yemen president nearing transition deal: minister
SANAA (Reuters) - Yemeni Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi said he hopes for a deal on a transition of power in Yemen on Saturday, and that the time frame of a transfer of power by President Ali Abdullah Saleh could be negotiated. "I hope it will be today, before tomorrow," Qirbi, who is serving as caretaker foreign minister, told Reuters, adding that a deal would be based on an offer by the president to step down by year-end after elections and a new constitution. "President Saleh is willing to look at all possibilities, as long as there are really serious commitments by the JMP (opposition) to come and initiate a serious dialogue between them and the ruling party." Saleh said on Friday he was ready to cede power to stop more bloodshed in Yemen, but only to what he called "safe hands" after weeks of street demonstrations demanding his immediate ouster. Talks have been underway on two tracks to work out the details of a deal on a peaceful transition of power in the Arabian Peninsula state that is home to a resurgent arm of al Qaeda, Yemeni political sources have said. Qirbi said the country's main opposition party would be holding talks with the ruling party on Saturday. Discussions were centering on the time frame of a transition, among other issues. "I think the time period is something that can be negotiated. It shouldn't be really an obstacle to reach an agreement," he said. "I think things are very close if the real intention is really to reach an agreement. But if there are parties who want to obstruct it then of course one cannot predict." Saleh came under mounting pressure to resign after snipers firing from rooftops killed 52 protesters a week ago after Friday prayers, triggering a string of defections including that of a top general. Saleh has offered a string of concessions, all rejected by opposition parties, including this week to transfer power after the drafting of a new constitution and parliamentary and presidential elections by the end of the year.

Palestinians say Israeli government was behind West Bank mosque fire
The Palestinian Authority accuses Israel of inciting the attack on a mosque Israel says the accusation is false and condemns any damage to holy places The arsonists spray-painted "beginning of revenge" and other words on the walls (CNN) -- The Palestinian Authority has accused the Israeli government of incitement in an arson attack Tuesday on a West Bank mosque, claiming the act was committed by settlers under the protection of the Israeli military. "Israel is forever accusing Palestinians of incitement, but does nothing to stop its citizens attacking our religious places -- what is that but incitement?" read a statement from the Palestinian Authority's media office. Early Tuesday morning, a mosque in the West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir was set on fire, according to Palestinian and Israeli officials who said the arsonists also spray-painted "beginning of revenge," "price tag" and "Alei Ayin" on the mosque walls "Price tag" attack is a term used by radical Israeli settlers to denote reprisal attacks against Palestinians in response to moves by the Israeli government to evacuate illegal West Bank outposts. "Alei Ayin" was an outpost located near Al-Mughayyir that was demolished by Israeli forces last week. "Settlers came in the early hours of the morning... poured burning materials around and inside the mosque, broke a window and entered the mosque, setting a tire on fire. The intention was to burn the entire mosque," Sheikh Darwish Mohamad, the mosque's imam, told CNN. An Israeli military spokesman said the allegation that the attack was committed under the protection of the military is false and the military condemns any kind of vandalizing or damaging of holy places. Israeli Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told CNN that Israeli police and Israeli military are investigating the incident. Last week, Israeli security forces entered the Alei Ayin outpost and demolished four structures that were built illegally. In a confrontation between the settlers and the police, six police officers and five settlers were injured. Abdel Salam Darwish, an 81-year-old worshipper, was surprised when he arrived at the mosque for dawn prayers and found the fire burning inside. Darwish told CNN that he received minor burns while trying to extinguish the blaze. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the torching of the mosque, calling it "a despicable act that comes to incite provocations." "The state of Israel has made it a priority to respect freedom of religion and will act resolutely against anyone who will harm this principle" he added in prepared statement.

Teenage suicide bomber kills 14 soldiers in Pakistan The attack happened in the town of Mardan, in the north-west of the country. "It was a suicide attack. The teenager bomber was on foot and was wearing a school uniform," Abdullah Khan, a senior police officer in the area, about 20 miles from the regional capital told the AFP news agency. An attack on the same training facility killed 35 people in 2006. The area has seen a lull in attacks during recent months, however Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked terrorists have used suicide bombers in the past to target police and troops engaged in operations along the border with Afghanistan. Mardan is about 30 miles east of Mohmand tribal district where Pakistan launched an offensive last month and officials said that a surge in bomb and suicide attacks was a reaction to the operation. Around 25,000 people have fled in just a week from Mohmand, according to United Nations figures. The attack comes at a time of political and economic uncertainty in Pakistan. On Wednesday the country's prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani dissolved his bloated 50-plus member cabinet in order to replace it with a smaller group in response to demands for greater financial savings.

Port Adelaide Magpies recruit Henry Slattery faces nervous wait as ASADA-AFL probe into former club Essendon Henry Slattery training with Essendon. Picture: George Salpigtidis. Source: Herald Sun ONE of Port Adelaide Magpies' marquee recruits this season is facing a possible playing ban in light of his former club's controversial supplement practices. Former Essendon player Henry Slattery signed with the Magpies in November after 99 games with Bombers, the team at the centre of an anti-doping probe. Essendon is under investigation by Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and the AFL after allegations fitness staff provided players with supplements containing banned substances last season. If it is found the supplements fall under the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) prohibited list, the entire Essendon playing list faces a raft of sanctions under the league's anti-doping code. If Slattery was found to be in breach of the code, and suspended, he would also be ineligible to play for any club in SA. "As a state affiliate of the AFL, we sign-up to their anti-doping policy so any sanction would also apply to SANFL football," SANFL CEO Chris Davies told the Portside Messenger last week. Port Magpies general manager Brian Leys said he would not comment on the issue, instead pointing to a club-issued media statement which said Slattery "would co-operate with any investigations in his former club."

Somalia's combination of extreme poverty and political instability has made it fertile ground for the criminal enterprise of piracy. In 2009, when the film takes place, Somali hijackings were on the rise, with 45 other vessels attacked that year. Since then, as shipping companies have employed armed security guards and international naval forces have arrested more than 1,000 pirates, the practice has diminished.

Here's a little factoid. I'm wondering whether it belongs in this page's Dangers/Genetic section, Jacobson's page, some other page, or nowhere at all. One of the doctors involved in the original research that indicated LSD was dangerous to chromosomes was Cecil Byran Jacobson, later convicted of numerous counts of fraud for selling his own sperm to his patients and other unethical practices. He's part of "Cohen et. al." in this page's Lysergic_acid_diethylamide#cite_note-dishotsky-52. Suggestions? Thundermaker (talk)
Interesting. The "chromosome damage" panic started in 1967 with a Science article by Maimon M. Cohen, et al. MM Cohen was apparently the main scientist promoting this idea, he went on to became a prominent geneticist. I can't find any MM Cohen articles with Jacobson as a co-author, can you be more specific? I can't find what I was looking at before that made me think Jacobson was on Cohen's team. Cohen was at SUNY from 1965-72 and then moved to Israel, and I can't find anything linking Jacobson to SUNY. So what I said above is probably wrong. Jacobson wasn't on the original team, more of a bandwagon-jumper. Thundermaker (talk)
Jacobson reported on birth defects in fetuses and babies of women who had taken LSD in a 1972 article in JAMA. This finding has not been confirmed, and as you mention Jacobson is not trustworthy. It would be worthwhile to discuss more about the Genetic/Birth Defect issue, maybe on the History of LSD page. "Chromosome damage" got an enormous amount of media attention at the height of the LSD "moral panic". It was discussed in the most prominent US scientific and medical journals even though it was clear from the beginning that caffeine, aspirin, etc. gave the same results (raising questions about the integrity of the researchers and journal editors). The factoid about Jacobson could be mentioned in this context. Tova Hella (talk)
Good suggestion, thanks! Thundermaker (talk)

om "Creativity enhancement claims" to "Creativity and aesthetics". 2) Edit "Experimental studies have attempted to study LSD and creativity." to "Experimental studies have attempted to examine the effect of LSD on creative activity and aesthetic appreciation. However, most such studies are considered poorly designed or inconclusive by today's standards (cite Sessa 2008). One randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study from 1967 found 'behavioral evidence of greater aesthetic appreciation' six months after one to three doses of 200 micrograms LSD in 24 volunteers compared to 46 volunteers who received amphetamine or very low dose 25 micrograms LSD. (cite McGlothlin 1967)". Tova Hella (talk)
Reply: Please provide refs for #2 here so we can take a look at them. I have previously examined these claims in detail, and unless there is some new evidence, they are all anecdotal reports. Just so you understand where I am coming from, I am a proponent of the idea that psychedelics might help enhance creativity. However, I try not to let my personal bias interfere with Wikipedia. With that said, the only thing I see that is valid here is #3. Number 4 needs a secondary source about the study; We can't rely on your critical opinion of it.

James, Williams Lead Cavs to 11th Straight Win CLEVELAND -- LeBron James scored 25 points and Mo Williams added 22, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their 11th straight win, a 107-85 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Cleveland's victory ties the franchise record for consecutive wins in a season. The Cavaliers (59-13) also won 11 straight from Nov. 22-Dec. 12 this season and have accomplished the feat four other times. Cleveland, which set a franchise mark for victories in a season Wednesday, will go for its 60th win Sunday against Dallas at home, where the Cavaliers are 34-1. Cleveland leads Boston and Orlando by five games for the best record in the Eastern Conference. The loss extended the Timberwolves' overall losing streak to seven games and their road skid to nine. Kevin Love and Randy Foye each scored 18 points for the Timberwolves, who have lost 18 of 20. James scored 18 points in the first quarter, shooting 6-of-9 from the field, including two 3-pointers. He made all four of his free-throw attempts and had five rebounds in the period. James, who'll be profiled on CBS' "60 Minutes" this Sunday in an interview he did a few months ago, was 8-of-14 from the field, grabbed 12 rebounds and had seven assists in 34 minutes. Minnesota center Jason Collins was charged with a flagrant foul for hitting James in the face in the third quarter. James broke through a double team at the top of the key and drove into the lane, where he was struck by Collins' upper arm and went to the floor. Cleveland center Zydrunas Ilgauskas shoved Collins and was assessed a technical foul. Williams sprained the pinkie on his right hand early in the fourth quarter and did not return. X-rays were negative. The Cavaliers led by double digits in the first half, but Minnesota cut the lead to 45-39 with 4:39 left in the second quarter on Brian Cardinal's 3-pointer. Cleveland ended the half on an 11-0 run _ and none of the points came from James. Delonte West scored five points, including a 3-point play, while Anderson Varejao scored two baskets and Ilgauskas made two free throws. The Cavaliers built a 22-point lead in the third period, but the Timberwolves rallied within 12 at 86-74 with 7:13 to play. Daniel Gibson hit three 3-pointers, Ilgauskas added a 3 and James made a basket and a free throw to push the lead to 101-79. A game after benching his starting five to begin Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, Minnesota coach Kevin McHale started two regulars, Love and Ryan Gomes, along with Collins, Rodney Carney and Kevin Ollie. Notes:@ During his "60 Minutes" profile, James sank an underhand shot from 50 feet. And, yes, he did it on the first try. "One take," he said with a laugh. "That's me."... James hopes to see Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary, his high school alma mater, play in the Division II state championship game Saturday in Columbus. James led the Irish to three straight state titles, beginning with his sophomore year.... Minnesota is 3-20 since Al Jefferson suffered a season-ending knee injury Feb. 8.... The Timberwolves host New Jersey on Sunday.

Judge Excuses 3rd Juror in Roger Clemens Trial The federal judge in the perjury trial against former major league pitcher Roger Clemens has excused a third juror, leaving just one alternate as the trial enters its seventh week. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton told lawyers Tuesday that the juror won't be able to return following the death of her mother last week. The juror works in law enforcement with the local public transportation authority in Washington, D.C. Two jurors previously were dismissed for sleeping. Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, is accused of lying to Congress in 2008 when he denied using steroids or human growth hormone. Clemens' lawyers say they will need seven or eight court days to put on their defense, which is expected to start Tuesday.

2 Palestinians Die From Mideast Storm Flash Flood A Palestinian official says the fiercest storm to hit the area in a decade has claimed the lives of two West Bank women who drowned after their car was caught in a flash flood unleashed by torrential rains. Nablus deputy governor Annan Atirah says the women abandoned their vehicle after it got stuck on a flooded road Tuesday. He says the bodies, apparently swept away by surging waters, were found Wednesday, and the car's driver was hospitalized in critical condition. In Gaza, civil defense spokesman Mohammed al-Haj Yousef said storms have cut electricity powering thousands of homes and rescuers were sent to evacuate dozens of people. Parts of Israel were bracing for snow a day after the military was forced to send helicopters and rubber dinghies to rescue stranded residents.

Irene: What to do if filing homeowner's claim Irene: What to do if filing homeowner's claim - Real estate updated 26 minutes ago Real estate Irene: What to expect if filing homeowner's claim If your home suffered any damage, start the claims process as soon as possible Michael Loccisano / Getty Images A tree brought down by Hurricane Irene leans against a house in Manasquan, N.J.
The Associated Press NEW YORK - If it wasn't the wind and the rain, it was the rising water that damaged countless homes from North Carolina to Vermont. Homeowners are picking up the soggy pieces and assessing the damage after Irene swept through. Although the hurricane-turned-tropical storm didn't cause as much destruction as initially feared, it touched communities in a dozen states and left an estimated $3 billion to $7 billion of mangled siding, downed trees and worse in its wake. Several insurance companies made automated calls to their customers in advance of the storm, detailing what numbers to call and what type of information to have ready if it was necessary to file a claim. If you didn't get a call or don't have the correct phone number at hand, the easiest way to begin is by contacting your agent. Insurers also have toll-free hotlines to accept initial filings and most will also allow customers to start a claim online. A number of companies offer smartphone apps that can get the process rolling, as well. Story: Construction may see brief bounce from Irene "Our priority is the most severe claims first," said Dick Leudke, a spokesman for State Farm Insurance - generally those where the home has been destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. State Farm, Allstate and other insurers placed claims adjusters and other staff members on standby before the storm, ready to respond to the hardest-hit areas. None could say how long it would take to process a claim, because damage assessments are still underway. If your home suffered any damage, start the claims process as soon as possible. Be aware that after you file a claim, in most cases, your insurance company will arrange to send an adjuster out to investigate. Details to provide
If you had to evacuate, ideally you brought along a copy of your homeowners policy in your emergency kit. That's because you'll need the policy number to begin the claims process. But if you can't provide it, your insurance company should be able to call up the number in its systems. If you have your policy in hand, check to make sure you're covered for hurricane damage, and what your hurricane deductible is. These amounts apply only to hurricane-related damage, and typically range from 1 percent to 5 percent of the insured value of the home. Homeowners will have to cover any deductible before collecting on a claim. Often, in areas like New England where hurricanes are less common, deductibles can be high. To file a claim, you'll need to explain what sort of damage your house sustained. If it is safe to do so, walk around and through the house and make a list of all visible signs of damage, and any affected contents. Pictures are helpful for illustrating the extent of the damage, especially if they can be compared with "before" photos. Don't throw away damaged items until an insurance adjuster sees them, in order to help ensure full coverage. Items that are unsafe can be photographed and discarded if necessary. If the house can't be occupied, make sure to keep receipts for any hotel rooms, restaurant receipts, and any associated expenses. Most homeowner's policies cover living expenses when a homeowner is forced out of their house, although there is usually a deductible associated. Repairs
Insurers expect homeowners to protect their property from further damage whenever possible. That means you should cover any broken windows and make any other temporary repairs that it's safe to make. During this process, keep a list of any steps you've taken and a complete list of the supplies you've purchased. Your insurance company will reimburse you for any reasonable expenses to make temporary repairs. Claims adjusters will in most cases visit a home to assess the damage. Hold off on making any significant repairs until that visit takes place or your insurance company gives the go-ahead. You should start to find a licensed contractor to provide a written estimate for any repairs. Ultimately, you'll need to provide this to the adjuster. The estimates should detail what materials will be used and provide an estimate of the labor costs. It's common for contractors to charge more after a widespread disaster because their work is in higher demand, so be prepared to pay extra. Materials costs can rise, as well, if shortages develop in affected areas. Once the adjuster settles on an amount, the insurance company will then typically provide a check upfront for the cash value of the repair, and cover any difference after the work is done. Specific rules on payments vary by state.

Developer has big plans for dated Macy's Plaza in downtown L.A. It was hailed as a crowning achievement for Los Angeles in the early 1970s - an indoor shopping mall that filled an entire downtown block and also boasted a plush hotel and a high-rise office building. For years, tourists flocked to the premier address. These days, however, Macy's Plaza has devolved into a dated, downscale relic and gets little love, even at the busy intersection of 7th and Flower streets. The mammoth complex can reclaim star status, its new owner said, but only after several multimillion-dollar improvements and radical surgery to open its fortress-like exterior. The moves would reverse discredited 20th century planning theories that called for keeping shoppers contained in sterile malls, safe from unsavory streets. The dramatic makeover of the 2.4-million-square-foot property is in the hands of Los Angeles developer Wayne Ratkovich, who has made a career of renovating well-known historic properties. He overhauled the former headquarters of aviation titan Howard Hughes near Marina del Rey, as well as the Art Deco-era Wiltern theater and office complex in Koreatown. "It's larger than anything we have ever done before," Ratkovich said of the Macy's Plaza project, "and a huge amount of responsibility." In one of the largest Southern California purchases this year, Ratkovich bought Macy's Plaza for $241 million and announced plans for a $160-million transformation. The renovation involves removing the mall's glass atrium roof and ripping out ground-level brick walls to bring stores and restaurants to the adjacent sidewalks. Ratkovich also plans a sunken, sunlight-filled public plaza - directly connected to a planned subway station - and significant upgrades to the 23-story, 485-room Sheraton hotel. Construction is expected to begin early next year and be finished in the fall of 2015, when the complex would be renamed the Bloc. The moribund mall lies near the middle of a building boom remaking the south side of downtown Los Angeles, said real estate broker Richard Schnell of Colliers International. Two blocks to the west on Figueroa Street, the former Wilshire Grand Hotel is being razed to make way for a $1-billion hotel and office skyscraper that will be the tallest building in the West. Three other hotels are under construction nearby, and nearly 1,000 apartments are being built within two blocks of the mall, according to the Los Angeles Downtown Center Business Improvement District. Several other downtown hotel and residential projects are in the planning stages. Two years ago, Ratkovich identified Macy's Plaza as a key site in the development wave and made an unsolicited offer to buy it from Jamison Properties, his broker, Schnell, said. The deal was completed last week. Los Angeles architect Scott Johnson of Johnson Fain has been working for months on plans to modernize the mall. Among its largest drawbacks is the way it turns its back on Flower Street with a block-long brick wall, Johnson said. Such inward focus for an urban shopping center was in vogue in the '70s. Planners today strive to make sidewalks inviting with well-lighted storefronts, outdoor cafes and greenery. But back then, many builders tried to create oases where people could escape from the noise, heat and perhaps danger found on the streets. Mall builders also liked boxes that kept shoppers contained inside, where they would presumably keep spending; some mall owners even resisted putting benches in their shopping centers because people who were sitting weren't buying. Today, the fortress format has become unwelcome in cities. "It's so egregious now," Johnson said. "Paradigms have changed since then." His design calls for punching a big hole in that wall and putting two stories of shops and restaurants on the sidewalk, as modern city planners prefer. Shops would also be added to 7th Street, and entrances would be created or expanded on other sides of the mall as well. "We are going to try to penetrate it as much as possible, and make it more permeable," Johnson said. "We think about it as a public space, the kind of place people would bring their bag lunch to and maybe hear a concert." The mall now has two levels of shops and a Macy's department store wrapping around an interior courtyard. Johnson envisions removing most of the first floor's tiled courtyard to open up the lower level to the outdoors. That courtyard could be reached by multiple stairs, landings and escalators, as well as through a portal to the planned Metro Regional Connector subway on the north side and a new vehicle entrance "motor court" on the south side. With the roof removed, the developer would also have the option to add a third level of shops and restaurants, Johnson said.

Arab League issues first condemnation of Syria violence The Arab League's outgoing secretary general, Amr Moussa, who has said Arab states are monitoring the crisis in Syria. Photograph: Mohamed Abd El Ghany/Retuers The Arab League has publicly criticised the violence in Syria for the first time, saying Arab states are "angry and actively monitoring" the crisis. The comments from the outgoing secretary general, Amr Moussa, drew a bitter response from Damascus. Syria's representative at the league described them as "unbalanced and politically motivated." Mounting international condemnation, however, has done little to slow the onslaught of the Syrian army as it pushes through northern border villages on an operation it claims is cleansing the area of criminal gangs. Residents of the town of Deir Azzor were reportedly bracing themselves on Tuesday night for the arrival of armour and troops from the Syrian military's feared 4th division, commanded by Maher al-Assad, brother of Syrian leader, Bashar al-Assad. The same division has been in control of the town of Jisr al-Shughour since Friday, forcing most remaining people in the besieged enclave to flee to the nearby mountains bordering Turkey. Syrian refugees continue to arrive at crossing points into Turkey and some are reported to have told authorities that the army arrested at least 15 people along the way. More than 7,000 refugees are now in southern Turkey and at least 5,000 have fled into Lebanon. Moussa said: "Though their views differ, Arab states are all worried, angry and actively monitoring the current crisis in Syria. What we are hearing and monitoring, about many victims falling, indicates great tumult in Syria... The situation in Syria should not be left in this state. Continuation of the status quo could lead to what may not be desired... for Syria." Syria's envoy, Youssef Ahmad, claimed Moussa was recommending the same sort of military intervention that the Arab League endorsed in Libya three months ago. "Days before leaving his post, Moussa calls for a kind of foreign intervention in the Syrian affairs, when the Libyan blood, shed by Nato air strikes as a result for a [UN] security council resolution, based, regrettably on an Arab demand in which Moussa's efforts immensely contributed, isn't dry yet," he said. On the Lebanon-Syria border, few refugees crossed on Tuesday. "The Syrians are keeping people away from the border," said a man in the town of Wadi Khaled, who identified himself as Omar. "It has been like this for many days." Wadi Khaled is teeming with refugees from towns and cities, especially Hama and Homs, scenes of fierce violence over the last fortnight. "There are at least 5,000 Syrians here," said Omar. "But it is very difficult for any more to come because the army is stopping them or shooting them." Syrian troops were clearly visible patrolling a river that acts as an unofficial border. Several Syrian tanks had their turrets pointed towards Lebanon. At an official crossing point further up the road, there was no sign of anyone arriving.

By permuting the indices, and resumming, one can solve explicitly for the Christoffel symbols as a function of the metric tensor:
\Gamma^i {}_{k\ell}=\frac{1}{2}g^{im} \left(\frac{\partial g_{mk}}{\partial x^\ell} + \frac{\partial g_{m\ell}}{\partial x^k} - \frac{\partial g_{k\ell}}{\partial x^m} \right) = {1 \over 2} g^{im} (g_{mk,\ell} + g_{m\ell,k} - g_{k\ell,m}), \
where the matrix (g^{jk}\ ) is an inverse of the matrix (g_{jk}\ ), defined as (using the Kronecker delta, and Einstein notation for summation)
g^{j i} g_{i k}= \delta^j {}_k\. Although the Christoffel symbols are written in the same notation as tensors with index notation, they are not tensors. Indeed, they do not transform like tensors under a change of coordinates; see below. NB. Note that most authors choose to define the Christoffel symbols in a holonomic basis, which is the convention followed here. In an anholonomic basis, the Christoffel symbols take the more complex form
\Gamma^i {}_{k\ell}=\frac{1}{2}g^{im} \left(
g_{mk,\ell} + g_{m\ell,k} - g_{k\ell,m} +
c_{mk\ell}+c_{m\ell k} + c_{k\ell m}
\right) \
where c_{k\ell m}=g_{mp} {c_{k\ell}}^p\ are the commutation coefficients of the basis; that is,
= c_{k\ell}{}^m e_m\,\
where ek are the basis vectors and \ is the Lie bracket. An example of an anholonomic basis with non-vanishing commutation coefficients are the unit vectors in spherical and cylindrical coordinates. The expressions below are valid only in a holonomic basis, unless otherwise noted. =Akanksh Vashisth=

Council offers tenants up to £38,000 to buy privately 10 October 2013 Last updated at 21:27 Harrow Council in north-west London is offering council tenants payments of up to £38,000 to buy their own home on the private market. Under its Grants to Move scheme it will also pay up to £6,000 for people to move into a private rented home and help pay removal costs. The council has housing stock of 5,000 homes and 4,000 people on the waiting list, said a spokesman. A London geography professor called it "state-led gentrification." The Conservative authority said its grants for people to move into bought or privately rented accommodation were designed for people already considering moving. Grants start at £20,000 for people buying homes who are in a one-bedroom council home and go to £38,000 for those leaving a four-bedroom home. For people moving to private rented accommodation, grants start at £1,500 to those leaving a one-bedroom home and go up to £6,000 if a four-bedroom home is being vacated. A payment of up to £4,500 for people willing to move to a smaller council or housing association property has been available for a few years. 'Dearth of properties' Barry Macleod-Cullinane, Harrow Council Cabinet Member for Adults and Housing, said: "Housing families in temporary accommodation costs Harrow Council around £3m a year. "Doing nothing is not an option. "We will treat each application on a case-by-case basis and there will be checks and balances in place to prevent fraud." The council said grants could not be used to buy council property and part of the grant would be reclaimed if people moved out of their newly purchased homes within five years. Since the offer became available at the end of September, a family of four has opted to buy a property in the Midlands and two women living alone in two-bedroom flats were paid £3,000 each to move into private rentals. Bob Blackman, Conservative MP for Harrow East said Harrow had a "dearth" of properties available and it was a good idea to attempt to encourage those who wish to move on to do so. But Professor Loretta Lees from King's College London's geography department said: "This feeds into state-led gentrification and social cleansing in London. "Rather than building more social housing and social rented homes they just shift populations out and use this as moral propaganda that they are doing something about the massive wait lists for social housing, when they are not." In April the authority said it was considering offering up to £20,000 to those wishing to leave council property to move abroad because it has one of the smallest stocks of social housing in the capital.

Blizzard, Ice Jams, Floods Force N.D. Evacs
The Associated Press
With record amounts of water feeding into the Missouri River from swollen tributaries on top of a blizzard, state officials urged evacuations along the river and were considering using helicopters to dynamite an ice jam to ease flooding around Bismarck. Residents in low-lying subdivisions along the river in Bismarck and Mandan were ordered to leave their homes Tuesday after access roads flooded. Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., called Bismarck "the most urgent threat" in North Dakota because of ice jams north and south of town and heavy snow forecast. Officials did not immediately have an estimate on the number of people forced to evacuate along the river. President Barack Obama declared North Dakota a federal disaster area, which means the federal government will pay 75 percent of state and local government costs for the flood fight. North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven said the state is grateful for the help. The Army Corps of Engineers on Tuesday cut water releases for the first time ever from the Garrison Dam north of Bismarck to ease flooding. No water will be released from the upstream dam until the flooding eases in Bismarck, spokesman Paul Johnston said. A reduction in the water releases takes about two days to reach the city, he said. The move will cut power generation at the dam and force the Western Area Power Administration to buy electricity on the open market to meet obligations to its customers, Johnston said. The National Weather Service said two ice jams were reported - one just south of Fox Island and one north of Bismarck. Officials said the threat intensified with the blizzard conditions. "We think putting explosives on the ice jam is the best option," Hoeven said at a news conference Tuesday. "We've identified a demolition team and we are arranging to fly them in to help with the placement of explosives." Officials also were considering using salt to open up a river channel. Bismarck Mayor John Warford said the city has 1,800 pounds of salt available. Jane and Michael Pole, of Fox Island, decided not to wait for any worse conditions. "We just grabbed a bag, threw some stuff in and left," Jane Pole said. The Bismarck area got 7.5 inches of snow since Monday night, with winds gusting to more than 45 mph, the National Weather Service said. The snow was expected to continue into Wednesday morning. Authorities transferred 146 inmates from the Missouri River Correctional Center, a minimum-security prison along the Missouri River, to the main state penitentiary. Deputy warden Patrick Branson said the river was close enough that officials "felt we had to get all those guys out of there." Most flood concern earlier had been focused on North Dakota's biggest city, Fargo, and its neighbor Moorhead, Minn., where the Red River's crest of 39 to 41 feet was projected for Friday evening. It was recorded at 33.93 feet early Wednesday. An emergency dike to protect downtown Fargo was being raised to 42 feet, but the expected crest would still threaten several neighborhoods and hundreds of homes in lower areas. Hundreds of volunteers were at work on another day of piling sandbags, with a goal of filling nearly 2 million. "We don't see any fear," Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker said. "We just see people working very hard." In Crookston, Minn., about 50 miles northeast of Fargo, ice jams caused a sudden rise on the Red Lake and led city officials to ask about 200 people in low-lying areas to voluntarily evacuate. The city was working to raise its flood protection to withstand the river's crest later this week. Elsewhere in Minnesota, a faster-than-predicted rise of the Sauk River led to flood warnings and sandbagging in Cold Spring and Sartell. During a meeting of Fargo city officials, officials worked hard to dispel notions, relayed by a Salvation Army volunteer in the local newspaper, that some residents were afraid. "Fear is a healthy emotion and creates respect for the situation," Steve Carbno, disaster coordinator for the Fargo chapter of the Salvation Army, said afterward. "But nobody's bailing," he said. "We are Norwegian, German, stubborn and fighters. This is our place, and we'll stay here."

Ask John: Beware playing to a thin moral code as revenge can be sweet It is not just customers who can play to a thin moral code. Suppliers can be economical with the truth about passing on discounts, pocketing commission or secretly switching production to a much cheaper foreign source. There have been times when we thought we were working to an open book but the supplier didn't tell us the full story. Anyone who is prone to take advantage of tough tactics should bear in mind that businessmen have long memories and may well have the opportunity to get their own back. Revenge is sweet, especially when you expose the weakness of a big business bully. An important part of an executive's job is to judge the other person's personality. As I hinted at the beginning, a man's character will give a good indication of the way he will do business. Everyone has a choice. As I was told many years ago: "If you want to sup with the devil make sure you use a long spoon." Q Lots of job-hunters are being told to be careful about what they put on social media websites like Facebook and Twitter in case an employer checks them. Would you ever check a potential recruit's online presence? Has finding something on one of these sites ever put you off from hiring someone? Or do you feel like this is prying and you should be able to work enough out from an interview? A So far we have never avoided hiring an applicant due to a message seen on social media but no doubt one day we will. Why not use information in the public domain, which is there for anyone to see? Checking on the internet should never become more important than a face-to-face interview but employers have a duty to discover the real character behind the person applying for a job. If Facebook can throw more light on the subject, then by all means use it. Some words of caution. Don't believe everything you read on social media, the internet has brought some wonderful benefits but it has a dark side. Personal slanging matches that used to take place at home or in the pub are now played out online. Many of these malicious messages and a few indiscreet photos are posted in the small hours under the influence of a late night. Twitter and Facebook can be used to spread unreliable gossip and even commercial looking sites like Trip Adviser have been used by competitors to slag off the opposition. Nothing replaces an interview followed by a trial day or two in the workplace but the more you can discover about an interviewee the more likely you are to spot a superstar and avoid troublemakers who could lead you into an employment tribunal.

UK construction contracts in September The Markit/CIPS construction purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 49.5 from 49.0 in August, a slightly smaller improvement than economists had forecast and one that leaves the index below the 50 line that separates growth from contraction. "The principal take out from September's PMI survey is that underlying construction weakness is likely to continue for the remainder of 2012," said Tim Moore, senior economist at Markit. "The current stretch of falling new orders is now the longest seen for three years... (and) a lack of new projects meant that confidence... remains close to its lowest since the UK economy nosedived into recession during 2008," he added. The weak outlook comes despite government efforts to boost the sector, with £10bn of loan guarantees to build rented housing announced last month, on top of 40 billion pounds of infrastructure guarantees and a Bank of England scheme to lower borrowing costs for households and smaller businesses. The Markit survey showed that house building fell at its fastest pace since December 2010 last month, while commercial activity dropped by the biggest margin since February 2010. The civil engineering sector was the main bright spot, reporting solid growth, and firms also continued to take on staff at a reasonable pace. Most economists expect official third-quarter data later this month will show that Britain's economy has emerged from its second recession since the financial crisis, as it rebounds from a day's lost output in the second quarter due to an extra public holiday. But the longer-term outlook is uncertain, with headwinds from a euro zone economy that appears to be tipping back into recession, as well as a five-year government austerity drive. Source: Reuters

How Microsoft Razzes Apple Over Its Prices Published Apr 4, 2009 From the magazine issue dated Apr 13, 2009 She is an unlikely assassin - a cute young woman with long red hair, geeky glasses and a funky scarf. But make no mistake: Lauren De Long, star of a new Microsoft ad, is a flat-out killer. For three years Microsoft has been bullied by Apple's snarky "I'm a Mac" ad campaign, in which Macs are represented by a smart young hipster, played by actor Justin Long, and Windows PCs are represented by the dorky, dopey John Hodgman. Microsoft has tried to fight back, but its ads have been so bad that they only made Microsoft seem even more lame. Now comes Lauren, a real-life hipster who looks like a stereotypical Apple customer. In the ad, which debuted March 26, a documentary-style film crew follows Lauren, who's been given $1,000 to buy a laptop and is told she can keep the change if she spends less. Along the way, she visits an Apple store, only to discover, to her dismay, that the only laptop she can afford is a last-generation model with a puny 13-inch screen. (She wants a 17-inch screen; at Apple, a laptop like that costs $2,800.) De Long's stinging line, delivered with a sigh as she's driving away from the Apple store: "I'm just not cool enough to be a Mac person." At the end of the spot she ends up buying an HP laptop for $700 - and pocketing the $300 difference. The ad makes an obvious point: Macs cost more than Windows PCs. But there's a far more damaging subtext: that people who buy Macs aren't necessarily cool, clued-in hipsters. In fact, they might just be poseurs who paid too much for a computer-slash-fashion accessory. The deeper subtext is that these days, wasting money doesn't make you hip and smart - it makes you stupid. In the age of the collapsing economy, frugality is the new cool. Apple won't comment on the new Microsoft campaign. But on tech blogs, its fans are sneering that De Long's bargain-priced laptop is a piece of junk. They're even questioning the ad's premise: De Long, it turns out, is a part-time actress, which has led to charges the ad was, in fact, scripted. De Long has declined interview requests, which only fuels suspicion. However in an e-mail statement to NEWSWEEK, she insists, "I was completely unaware that I was filming a commercial." Microsoft also insists the ad was not staged, and they have a half dozen more of these real-life-customer ads waiting in the wings. In any case, the ugly attacks from Mac fanboys are exactly what Microsoft was hoping to provoke, says David Webster, general manager for brand marketing at Microsoft. He says the idea was to turn Apple's "I'm a Mac" campaign to Microsoft's advantage. "We associate real people with being PCs, [but then Apple] ends up looking pretty mean-spirited, the way they go after customers," he says. "It's clear that's who they are insulting." At the same time he can't resist taking a crack at the preciousness of some Mac users. "Not everyone wants a machine that's been washed with unicorn tears," he says. The ads may be one sign that after a few bumpy years, Microsoft seems to be turning the corner. That's partly due to the bad economy, which is driving people to low-cost computers. In February, U.S. retail sales of Windows PCs grew 22 percent, measured in units, while sales of Macs dropped 16 percent, according to researcher NPD. Apple unit sales have been dropping since October, while unit sales of Windows PC have been growing over the same period, NPD says. Much of the growth comes from "netbooks" - those tiny, low-cost notebooks that are all the rage now. Most run Windows. Apple, so far, has refused to make one, though it's rumored to have one in the works. Instead, in January the company rolled out that 17-inch laptop with a $2,800 price tag. Talk about tone-deaf. For Microsoft, the other good news is the early reaction to its new operating system, called Windows 7. I've been using a prerelease version for a couple of months, and it's terrific. It boots up much faster than Vista, which was one of the big complaints. There are far fewer of those annoying warning messages. The user interface has a slick new feature, a "taskbar" at the bottom that shows what apps you have open. The new system is due out later this year.

and wish to continue drafting. I have more reliable sources and cites, but am still in the process of reading and learning how to include them, i.e, as "cites" or as "references," and, what is the difference between the too. Some of my sources are not available online: (1) Contemporary Authors, volume(s) 69-72; (2) Contemporary Authors - Obituary, volume(s) 211; (3) Contemporary Authors New Revision Series, volume(s) 11; (4) Dictionary of Literary Biography, volume(s) 52; (5) Junior Discovering Authors; (6) Major Authors and Illustrators for Children and Young Adults, edition(s) 1, 2; (7) Something about the Author, volume(s) 28, 75; (8) Something about the Author Autobiography Series, volume(s) 10; (9) Something about the Author - Obituary, volume(s) 140; (10) St. James Guide to Young Adult Writers (St. James Press, an imprint of Gale).

"Sources" and "references" are both non-fixed terms on WP at this point, but a "footnote" is the actual number at the end of a phrase/sentence/paragraph providing specific evidence of the veracity of that statement. For info on how to make footnotes, see Footnotes. Make sure evidentiary footnotes are full author/title/publisher/date citations, and if you have a link to any online sources include that link in the footnote. Do note that for Notability (people) you need at least two substantive references. It's okay to footnote a basic claim like "won the Acme Prize", but if all you have is brief mentions in a list or reference work, that's not yet enough. You want a couple newspaper articles or books that gives at least a few sentences specifically to your subject, not just drops the name amongst many. MatthewVanitas (talk)

Hi,
It is a new article that refers to the company i work for. it would seem i need some verification to remove the little box at the top. Thanks
BBGOnline (talk)
Looks good, I've done one or two small things to help. It needs more references from reliable sources, but on the whole it's a good effort; after a quick search I think it's unlikely to be deleted. Oh, you have a potential conflict of interest, but in this case it doesn't seem to be a problem. Be careful to write about the institution factually and not try to promote it. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs)
Thank you very much. I was as careful as possible not to shout loud and proud about how great we are stuck to the facts, buy hey - this is our 25th year so we deserve a wikipedia page! Thanks for tidying it up for me, adding the contents box etc. Very much appreciate it. == Michael Matus (actor) ==

Couple things: you're putting too much work into your wikilinks. You're coding Duke of York when all you need to do is type Duke of York. The "_" is just how WP processes a space, but if you just leave a space in your link WP reads it as the same thing. Next, your links are bare URLs; you want to fix those to proper citations for clarity, readability, and in case the links ever move. Lastly, the footnotes you provide are pretty patchy as to whether they meet Notability (people). Being listed on a list of nominees is not really "substantive coverage", so if you can find some reputable articles that more in-depth discuss this actor, that will strengthen the case for the article, as right now it's tottering on the edge of approval.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk turns attention to Los Angeles freeway Musk, 41, who uses the often gridlocked road to commute from his Bel-Air mansion to the offices of his company SpaceX, says that like other motorists he has "super had it" with traffic jams. Musk has already contributed $50,000 to a road widening project but is now offering his expertise, and more money, to ease the pain of drivers. He told the Los Angeles Times it would be "a contribution to the city and my own happiness. If it can actually make a difference, I would gladly contribute funds and ideas. I've super had it. "The 405 varies from bad to horrendous. It just seems people in Los Angeles are being tortured by this. I don't know why they aren't marching in the streets." In May Spacex became the first private company to deliver cargo to the International Space Station and it has a contract with Nasa for further missions. The South Africa-born Musk said putting a rocket into orbit seemed easier than his commute to work. A massive project to widen the 405 freeway is already underway leading to further delays for motorists. On two occasions, dubbed "Carmageddon" and "Carmageddon 2" by motorists, sections have been closed entirely forcing many people to stay at home.
