Driscoll Catholic Football (Driscoll Catholic High School)
The Driscoll Catholic High School Football team in Addison, Illinois has recently broken the IHSA record for consecutive state football championships with five. They won in class 4A in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005, and class 3 A in 2004. The classes in Illionis High School Football are determined by student enrollment, with the smallest schools (1A) to the largest schools (8A). in 2004, Driscoll's enrollment of incoming freshman did not exceed the number of seniors of the previous year leaving, so they were put in 3A.
and there is a bunch of other details that should be added to this tremendous story of heart and determination by the youth of America.
source: www.driscollcatholic.com
- The normal progression for high school articles is to add information about school districts to the Addison, Illinois article, and then branch off an article about individual systems when the Addison article becomes unwieldy, and then to branch off an article about the high school when there's too much about it in the system article. I don't think we have a precedent for putting a high school football program in a separate article. I'll create the Driscoll Catholic High School article as a stub and encourage you to fill in a balanced report about the school as a whole (being careful to use verifiable sources, use a neutral POV, and avoid copyright violations. Thanks. -- Dystopos 05:16, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Deep Sleep Therapy a.k.a. Deep Sedation Therapy (DST)
British psychiatrist Dr William Sargant pioneered a psychiatric treatment known as Deep Sleep Therapy.
In a nutshell it was theorised that you could literally sleep off your depression and other mental problems. And simply put, it didn't work, resulting in about 48 Australians losing their lives, and countless others still suffering today from the effects of D.S.T....a glaring example of a gross breach in Duty of Care and a national disgrace.
In New South Wales, Australia, prominent psychiatrist Dr Harry Bailey specialised in this form of therapy, He set up and ran Chelmsford Private Hospital, located at No.2 The Crescent in the northern Sydney suburb of Pennant Hills, between 1963 to 1979.

- If you can write this in an NPOV fashion and not so ranting, it might be a decent article, but you'll need to discuss the originator's point of view. Zoe (216.234.130.130 16:15, 13 December 2005 (UTC))
- It will also need sources of a more reliable nature. Reports from major newspapers, etc. android79 16:17, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
All of the information located here is accurate and from those three sources. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation made a documentary that appeared in the mid-late 1980's, and news coverage about the Chelmsford scandal was pretty intense. The Royal Commission files (volumes upon volumes of data, which I've read) are open to the public. There was a time when you could purchase copies of them, but not anymore. You would have to physically go to the library and read and or photocopy them (which I can't do now due to my location). I will be grateful for anyone out there who knew of this case to help satisfy the requests for reliability by contributing what they know. It was the shortest summary that I could come up with, but if it sounds like I'm ranting then so be it, and I'm only echoing the truth. I'm 100 per cent confident in the information I have contributed. The Chelmsford Hospital Scandal disgusted the nation, period. [[User: Shadow6|<span style="color: red"
Unless you can provide some better sources, this request will go unfulfilled. android79 13:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- I created the article. It needs better references and more context. Ultimately the Chelmsford scandal will probably need a separate article, but I've got everything redirected to Deep Sleep Therapy for now. --Dystopos 18:06, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Jeff Blatnick was an Amercian Greco Roman wrestler gold medalist in the 1984 Olympics in the Heavweight class. His success, while significant in and of itself, was made even more remarkable by his recovery from cancer sometime prior to the 1984 Games. Blatnick's gold medal, along with that of teammate Steve Fraser, was the first gold medal won by an American in Olympic Greco Roman wrestling.
Mr. Blatnick now works primarily as a motivational speaker and resides in the state of New York.

City Avenue (commonly referred to as 'City Line' or 'the Line') is a major commercial, retail, and partial residential strip which straddles along the borders of Philadelphia and the suburban Lower Merion Township communities of Bala Cynwyd, Merion Station, and Overbrook Hills. Many people referred to City Avenue as City Line Avenue because one side of the street is in the city of Philadelphia and the other side is in the suburbs. However, this is only partially correct because it is also a county line (between Philadelphia and Montgomery counties).
City Avenue, which is apart ofU.S. Route 1 runs between Presidential Boulevard in the Wynnefield Heights section of the city/Bala Cynwyd in Lower Merion and 77th Street in the Overbrook Park section. At approximately 40 feet from 77th Street. City Line Avenue becomes Township Line Road in Haverford Township in Delaware County.
It may not pass AFD unless it's a state road. Sorry. --Jaranda wat's sup 22:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Saugus, California - Part of the Santa Clarita Valley. Located near Canyon Country and Newhall.
Landmark - Bonelli Stadium, now known as Saugus Speedway, was built as a rodeo arena in 1927 by Roy Baker and owned briefly by actor Hoot Gibson, the rodeo grounds were purchased in 1937 by William Bonelli, who started automobile racing there in 1939. The stadium was a raceway until being closed in the mid 1990's. The famed Saugus Speedway was home to NASCAR star, Ron Hornaday, Jr.
Saugus caters to family living with most of its development built along its main thoroughfare, Bouquet Canyon Road, which extends through picturesque hills all the way to the Antelope Valley. This is a popular area with rolling hills and beautiful winding canyons. A recent residents' survey revealed that 70 percent of the homeowners want to maintain Saugus as a bedroom community and not a business-oriented area. Saugus is a great place to live with nationally acclaimed schools, a large Metrolink Station and more!

A ball washer is an equipment for the cleaning of dirty golf balls. Because golf balls have in contrast to other balls a rough surface, they pollute much easier than other balls.
There are different designs of ball washers. They can be operated either by hand or electrically. Ball washers for cleaning individual balls consist of a cylindrical housing, in which the ball to be cleaned is brought in. The cleaning of the ball takes place via circulating brushes. For the cleaning of larger number of golf balls there are machines, which aspirate the balls like a vacuum cleaner wash them in an inserted and put the washed balls afterwards in a separate net.

Aluminium Amalgam develops, if one brings aluminum together with mercury. In contrast to aluminum no protecting oxide layer can be formed on Aluminium Amalgam , so that Aluminium Amalgam is chemically very reactive. Aluminium Amalgam is used as reducing agent. At air Aluminium Amalgam forms long white threadlike structures. Because airplanes are built to a large extent of aluminum, running out mercury leads to the formation of Aluminium Amalgam and to the destruction of the external wall, which can lead to a crash.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminiumamalgam
- I'm not sure how mercury could come in contact with airplanes and the german article isn't referenced. I think we'd best wait creating this. I'll drop a note to the chemistry project. - Mgm|(talk) 12:23, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- The German wiki says it was used for sabotaging aircraft. Sounds iffy. However, aluminium amalgam is notable as a reducing agent in organic synthesis and as an intermediate stage in Oersted's first isolation of aluminium. Tearlach 17:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- (Drafted earlier.)
- The German article (new yesterday) was enhanced today to say that was used for sabotage in World War II, however, the whole airplane issue would be a minor sideline in a proper article. It is, though, the reason that you are not allowed to take mercury thermometers (e.g. anlalogue clinical ones) onto passenger aircraft.
- The US spelling (aluminum amalgam) is red-linked in an article about a drug culture book. --David Woolley 18:00, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Aluminium is surprisingly reactive; a demo I have often done is to show household Al foil reacting with water, something it does if you add a trace of a mercury salt to the water. (Think of this when you boil a pan of water!) But at WP:Chemistry we'd want to have fully referenced info. We'll take a look at it, I'm sure. Walkerma 15:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- At the moment, I don't think it is a priority; we don't have to translate every article on German wiki, and this is not one of their best. A redirect to amalgam should do for the time being. Physchim62 (talk) 15:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

A route that is manually entered into a routing table. Static routes take precedence over routes chosen by all dynamic routing protocols.
- Essentially a dictonary definiton, so doesn't belong here. The second sentence might qualify, but is misleading or wrong and not enough to justify an article in its own right. In particular, it is not at all uncommon to have a static default route that is overridden by more specific dynamic routes, and, in the TCP/IP suite, ICMP redirects will override a static route.
- I'll redirect Static route (the correct capitalisation) to Routing, which already describes the concept, but doesn't yet use the name. --David Woolley 00:43, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

A ligature is a device used in the dental specialty of orthodontics to tie, or ligate, an archwire to a bracket or band that is attached to a tooth. Ligatures may be constructed of latex, vinyl, or stainless steel. Latex or vinyl ligatures, technically known as elastomeric modules, may be individual units ("O-tie", "A-tie") or may be fused together to create a continuous chain used to move a tooth or several teeth. In this capacity they are known as "power chains" or "elastic chains", among other names. Lastly, a ligature may consist of a small-width stainless steel wire (.010" or .012") that is used when an archwire needs to be tightly engaged into the slot of a bracket. This is often done when one does not want a tooth to rotate about its axis under orthodontic forces.

De Havilland Dragon DH84
The first DH84 Dragon (before the later DH89 Dragon Rapide)was designed to be an airliner which could operate a profitable air service without requiring a subsidy, and in this it proved sucessful. The DH 84 is a wooden biplane with two Gipsy Major 130Hp 4 cylinder aero engines also of De Havilland design and manufacture. The aircraft carries 5-6 passengers and one pilot, at a speed around 105Kts. It is generally considered an excellent example of its type although like most light twins of the time underpowered, being unable to maintain height on one engine. Three versions were produced, initially a military communications version with an extended fin, the Mark 1 with "glasshouse" full length window glazing, and a Mark 2 with wheel spats and more stylish,fully-framed windows. A second series of Mark 1's were later produced during WW2 in Australia for the armed forces, and several of these survive. One of the latter is airworthy in New Zealand, ZK-AXI, having previously served with the RAAF. Another is airworthy in Australia. A number served with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, operating in difficult and hot situations.

In electronics, the Miller effect is the tendency of a capacitance to be multiplied by the gain of adjacent stages.
Intuitively, since a gain represents a voltage multiplication between points, any capacitor across these points will charge and discharge with a current which is a (1 + gain) times greater than it "should" be. The result is that the effective capacitance "seen" by the circuit is therefore (1 + gain) times greater than it actually is.
Example: A 10pF capacitor placed across an amplifier with a gain of 10 would appear to be (1 + 10)*10pF, or 110pF.
Naturally, this increased capacitance can wreak havoc with high frequency response. For example, the tiny junction and stray capacitances in a Darlington transistor drastically reduce the high frequency response through the Miller effect and the Darlington's high gain.

James "Spike" O'Toole was an Irish-American gangster from Dorchester, Massachusetts. He was a close friend of The Winter Hill Gang of Somerville, and their leader James "Buddy" McLean. He was targeted for assassination by The McLaughlin Brothers gang of Charlestown, when a Cambridge gangster named Ronald Dermody fell in love with his girlfriend. Dermody made a deal with George McLaughlin that if they would kill O'Toole, he would kill McLean. Dermody's plan backfired and he wound up dead, and The McLaughlin's forgot about O'Toole. Years later, in December of 1973, O'Toole (Who had survived many assassination attempts) was ran over by a gangland assassin while leaving a bar in South Boston.

Acronym: CIFA
A Department of Defense initiative, created in 2002, to create a general counterintelligence system aimed at supplying "actionable" information to key decision makers at all levels of the government.
The program is designed to feed information into the counterintelligence, counterespionage, anti-terrorism, law enforcement, and security aspects of the government, in addition to providing training and education in the same fields for the federal government.
A recent (November, 2005) proposal would transform the CIFA from an office that is security oriented to one that can also investigate suspicious activity within the United States such as treason, foreign or terrorist sabotage, or even economic espionage.

== Ramanand Sagar == By Chetan Bhide ( India)
Ramanand Sagar was born on 29th December, 1917 at Asal_Guru-Ke near Lahore. His Great Grandfather, Lala Shankar Das Chopra, migrated from Peshawar to Kashmir, who by his own strength became the ‘Nagar Shet’ of Kashmiri Chopras. His grandfather was Lala Ganga Ram who established his own trade in 1867 in Srinagar. His father, Lala Dinanath Chopra, used to enjoy writing poetry mainly for personal satisfaction under the nom de plume “Taj Peshawari”. Although he hailed from one of the most aristocratic and wealthiest families of the region, he was adopted by his childless maternal grandmother. Although his original name was “Chandramauli” given by his Kulpurohit, he was named Ramanand by his adopted family. But he missed his real parents love and his childhood was filled with agony and sufferings which was probably the reason for all his future creations which were filled with emotions.

Johnnie Stewart started off his entertainment career in the BBC radio sound effects department in the late 1930s. In 1958 he produced "Juke Box Jury" for BBC Television and, continuing the popular musical theme, in 1963 the BBC recorded a pilot chart show, which Stewart produced. Originally called “The Teen and Twenty Record Club”, it emerged onto the UK screens as “Top of the Pops”, and after various guises the programme still runs today on BBC television. Johnnie finally retired to Ibiza where he died aged 87.

Arthur K. Barnes (1911-1969) was an American science fiction author. Barnes wrote mostly for pulp magazines in the 1930's and 1940's. Barnes was most noted for his vivid and believable portrayals of alien life. As such, he is compared to Stanley G. Weinbaum who also wrote vividly of alien life, though he is not considered as good a writer as Weinbaum. Before Barnes (and Weinbaum), SF writers usually portrayed aliens as earth like monsters, with little originality. Barnes wrote a series of stories about "interplanetary hunters" Tommy Strike and Gerry Carlyle, collected in the books, Interplanetary Hunter (1956) and Interplanetary Huntress (1956). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.177.169.178 (talk • contribs)

- Pinnacle Airlines crash of plane N8396A - significant because of implications of core-lock on CRJs
'''Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701''' ([[FLG]]3701, [[9E]]3701 or Flagship 3701) crashed on [[October 14]], [[2004]], near [[Jefferson City, Missouri]]. Everyone onboard was killed. [[Pinnacle Airlines]] Flight 3701 was an empty 50-seat [[Bombardier]] [[Canadair]] [[Regional Jet]] [[CRJ-200]] on ferry from [[Little Rock, Arkansas]] ([[Little Rock National Airport]]) to [[Minneapolis, Minnesota]] ([[Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport]]), manned by two pilots, Captain [[Jesse Rhodes]] and First Officer [[Peter Cesarz]]. The RJ crashed when the engines could not be restarted, and they could not reach an airport. ==The incident== The two pilots were hot-rodding the CRJ-200 on their ''deadhead'' flight. The pilots decided to test the limits of the CRJ, and join the [[410 Club]] (referring to pilots who pushed CRJs to their flight ceilings). ([[Flight Level]] 410 or ''FL410'' refers to 41,000 feet [[ASL]]) The incident started when the pilots performed excessive maneuvers at 15,000 feet which included a pitch-up at 2.3 G, which induced a stall warning. They set the autopilot to climb at 500 ft/min to 41,000 ft. This exceeded the manufacturers recommended climb rate at altitudes above 38,000 ft. In the attempt to reach FL410, the plane was pushed at over 1.2G, and the angle of attack became excessive to maintain climb rate in the thinner upper atmosphere. After reaching FL410, the plane was cruising at 150 knots, which is just barely above stall speed, and had overstressed the engines. The anti-stall devices activated while they were at altitude, but the pilots overrode the automatic nose down that would increase speed to prevent stall. After four overrides, both engines experienced flameout, and shutdown. The plane then stalled, and the pilots recovered from stall at 38,000 ft, while still having no engines. This lead the pilots to pitch nose down in an attempt to restart the engines. The crew failed to dive sharply enough to attain the required 300 kt for a windmill restart, ending the dive when they had reached 230 kt. The crew then tried to restart engines using the [[APU]] at 13,000 ft. This was again unsuccessful. They then declared to [[air traffic control]] that they had a single engine flameout. At this point they had 4 diversion airports available to them. As they continued to not be able to restart, they declared to ATC that they had infact had both engines flameout, whereupon only 2 airports were available. They crashed outside of Jefferson City, Missouri, behind a row of houses, (600 block of Hutton Lane) and the plane caught fire, killing both pilots. No one on the ground was hurt. ==Aftermath== Pinnacle Airlines has restricted flights to a maximum of 38,000 feet. The NTSB has determined that the engines were operating at 600F above maximum redline temperature at 41,000ft, and that the high speed compressor blades melted, which then dripped onto the low speed compressor. After the flameout, the low speed compressor became welded to the rest of the engine. Intially, it was thought that a [[core lock]] had occurred in the engines, however this more serious condition infact occurred. ==External links== * [http://www.ntsb.gov/events/2005/Pinnacle/default.htm Pinnacle Airlines (d.b.a.

Linear Formations
The movement away from phalanx-like formations of pike protected by handgunners towards shallow formations of handgunners protected by progessively fewer pikes. William Louis of Nassau thought that six rotating ranks of musketeers were needed to maintain a continuous fire. Gustavus Adolpus used only six ranks thanks to newly introduced drill and the professionalisation of the Swedish army under him. This kind of formation would get prgessively thinner untill its' peak in the age of Wellington with the 'Thin Red Line'. It would eventually be replaced by skirmish order at the time of the invention of the breach loading rifle that allowed the Prussians during the Franco-Prussian War to move and fire independently of the large scale formations and fight in small, mobile units.
George Hickenlooper was born in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, the 15th of May, 1965. He became interested in filmaking very quickly as a child. His desire to make movies came in part from his great uncle, Leopold Stokowski's involvement in the making of the hit Disney animated film, Fantasia (1940), where Leopold was the conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. If had only been for Great Uncle Leopold, however, George may have started a career in music. His father and mother's careers were therefor essential to his urge to become a director. His father was a playwrite, and his mother, a leader to a rebel theatre group against the War in Vietnam. The first 8mm films were animated and George made them with his friend, Kirk Wise, who would later go on to become the director of the widely popular Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. While he was in school, George Hickenlooper made short movies that were premiered on Public Television in St.Louis and Kansas City. After graduating from Yale with a B.A. of History and Film Studies in 1986, Hickenlooper interned for the producer Roger Corman, and in 1988, he started his directing career with Art, Acting, and the Suicide Chair: Dennis Hopper, which was a short documentary about Dennis Hopper, the actor or director in films such as Waterworld and Speed. The next big break was when he wrote the book, REEL CONVERSATIONS, in 1991, and in the same year when he made the movie Hearts of Darkness: A Filmaker's Apocalypse, the documentary on the making of the movie Apocalypse Now.

E-type pronoun
"E-type pronoun” approach originating with Evans and Cooper (1979).
In the context of so called [donkey sentences] (sentences such as "every farmer who owns a donkey feeds it"), the term "E-type pronouns" has been proposed. The pronoun is assumed to take on a distinctive non-quantificational reading just in case it [c-commands] an indefinite, embodying a define meaning equivalent to the donkey that x owns, the donkey or that donkey. Such accounts tend to encounter a [uniqueness problem] with respect to models in which mappings from farmers to donkeys is one-to-many, because of the uniqueness presupposition of the definite.
This is a linguistic stub which may eventually be an article about E-type pronouns.

Bochenski joined the Binghamton Senators of the AHL in 2004-05 after leaving the University of North Dakota a year early. He played on a line with playmaking center Jason Spezza, who complemented his game immensely. He enjoyed a successful rookie season with the Binghamton in 2004-05 being named to the AHL All-Rookie Team and leading all first-year players with 70 points (34 goals, 36 assists) in 75 games.
At the beginning of the 2005-2006 season of the NHL, Bochenski had great success in training camp and in eight pre-season games, playing on a line with former linemate Jason Spezza and star scorer Dany Heatley. However, the pressure of being on the top line of one of the top teams in the league apparently effected Bochenski once the regular season began, and despite the maintained success of Spezza and Heatley, Bochenski failed to live up to expectations, producing only one goal and three assists in ten games. He was sent back to Binghamton to retrieve his game.
However, because of an injury to Martin Havlat, Bochenski was called back up to play in Ottawa. Without the pressure of playing on the top line, Bochenski flourished. To date, has 13 points in 17 games (6 goals, 7 assists), including a hat trick against the Florida Panthers.

Natural singing
Natural singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice in a pure natural way. These sounds are vibrating naturally and the sound is warm and totally relaxed.
This natural singing has been discouvered at the university of Ghent ( Belgium ) and Leiden ( Netherlands ) about 1970.
The natural singing is the result of holding the diaphagm low and large as long as possible with a wide open belly.
This natural breathing is the ordinary breathing of a healthy person in the most relaxed position, laying down. ( some people call it the baby-breath but that baby-breath is too fast )
The difference between natural singing and speech is the vibrato.
We can speek on different tunes like we can sing on different tunes, but the vibrato makes the only real difference, the real contrast.
Air is not expelled with the diaphragm but the diaphragm is hold down with the muscles of the belly ( abdomen ) and the belt.
Someone who sings naturally is called a natural singer or a singer.
All the others shrill, shout, yell, scream, squeal, cry or bark, caused by pushing on expiration, expelling the air.
A true natural singer balances the head and the breast resonance to get a complete voice sound.
Together with an adapted diction for singers every word can be understood by the audience.
A soar throat is the result of bad singing, but natural singers don't know this frequent voice problem because of the health of their voices.
Anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely sustained speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure, for example, singing in the shower; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally in a performance or in a recording studio.
Singing is often done in a group, such as a choir, and may be accompanied by musical instruments, a full orchestra, or a band. Singing with no instrumental accompaniment is usually called a cappella.
Natural singing in a combination with dancing is impossible because of the shivering diaphragm.
The film industry makes us believe that is possible but they record the two disciplines at different times.
Singing and dancing can never be performed at the same time.
Many people consider the ability to sing to be a learned skill, but there are a few native singers.
Natural singing is not only a music element, but also a wellness component.
The International School for Singing and Breathing ( Melle - Belgium )is the innovator, the pioneer in this matter.
International School for Singing and Breathing
The International School for Singing and Breathing was founded by Professor Léon-Bernard Giot in Melle near Ghent in 1971. This school learns people how to breathe naturally to protect their voices against any damage. Speaking, blowing ( music instrument ) and singing have the same base : a natural breathing.

Léon-Bernard Giot
Léon-Bernard Giot (March 4, 1956) is a Belgian baritone singer, organist and conductor. Born Léon-Bernard Mathilde Giot, he is usually known as Bernardo Giotto.
Giot was born in Ghent in the Department of East Flanders ( Belgium ) and showed talent for the piano from his early childhood. He founded several choirs and orchestras at the age of 15. Three years later he was sent, on a year-long study to St Niklaas with the virtuoso soprano Marie-Thérèse Maesen. Giot's first notable performances, date from this time. After his return home he made a concert tour. A concert in Brussels brought the young man overnight fame in the whole of Europe.
In 1975, Giot got a job as breathing coach at the Belgian Royal Federation of Music, where he stayed until 2005. He performed as baritone solo and at the Choir of the European Community in most of the European countries.
Giot worked as conductor of choirs and orchestras he founded in Ghent, Brussels and Luxemburg and he founded and conducted the biggest international choir meeting : The Annuel Christmas-Choir-Festival in Ghent.
Léon-Bernard Giot was a prolific breathing and singing teacher whose list of pupils amounts to over 2500 persons, man and women, boys and girls. Some of them became famous singers too. Better known today, however, are his manuscripts about his methods for a natural breathing to protect the voice as much as possible, all written for his students, which have established a secure place in singers environment.
Though his lack of time, as he played the organ and sang in more than 12 different churches all over the country, Giot founded The International School for Singing and Breathing in Melle near Ghent. He was greatly admired as he was the youngest conductor and the youngest organ player of the whole country at the age of 15.
Giot was a noted baritone, and invented a unique singers diction adapted to the natural breathing. He discouvered the exact difference between speaking and singing : the natural vibrato. He was also a significant conductor, being one of the first to refuse any recording of his concerts.

Illegal Alien Mexican National Narcotics Traffickers
Since the late 1980's/early 1990's, narcotics trafficking organizations headed and comprised of Mexican nationals became the dominant force of the illicit drug trade in the United States. Mexican trafficking organizations usurped control from Colombian trafficking organizations, primarily as a result of Mexico's geographic proximity to the U.S. and a greater presence of Mexicans residing, legally and illegally, in a number of communities in the U.S.
In the early 1980's, cocaine emerged as a drug of choice for many Americans and its use became prevalent through-out the socio-economic spectrum. Initially, Colombians were responsible for growing, processing and distributing cocaine in the U.S., but their strongholds were limited to South Florida and New York along with other metropolitan areas that housed smaller Colombian populations. As demand for larger quantities of cocaine began to take hold in the U.S. in the late 1980's, Colombian traffickers came to rely on Mexican organizations to assist with the transportation and distribution of cocaine through-out the U.S. After a period of time, powerful Mexican cartels realized that they could more effectively handle the smuggling and distribution of ton-quantities of cocaine in the U.S.
Colombians had been limited to predominantly a Caribbean smuggling route into South Florida. Mexicans, on the other hand, had access to an expansive 2,000 mile border with the Southwestern U.S. and then a vast network of Mexican immigrants residing in major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles and Chicago, and later through-out a number of large and small communities in all corners of the U.S.
The ample number of Mexican nationals residing in the U.S. occurred as a result of a bombardment of migrant workers in search of higher-paying jobs and a better life for themselves and their families, but the increased Mexican presence also brought with it and large number of Mexican narcotics traffickers that came to the U.S. with one specific purpose - to sell drugs an earn a significant profit in doing so. Drug statistics estimate that twenty-three metric tons of cocaine is smuggled into the U.S. annually, two-thirds of which enter across the U.S./Mexican border. Technically, he was a good old man until the band fell on him. Mexican black-tar heroin, which is produced in Mexico and smuggled into the U.S. predominantly by Mexican nationals is the most frequently consumed heroin in the western and Midwestern U.S. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) estimates that 80% of the methamphetamine in the U.S. is either manufactured in Mexico or is manufactured in the U.S. by Mexican national drug traffickers operating under the direction of Mexican drug kingpins. These illicit drug sales in the U.S. have resulted in a boom of revenues for Mexico. In fact, after petroleum revenues, the second biggest revenue source for Mexico comes from illegal alien Mexican nationals sending money into Mexico from the U.S., and a significant part of those monies are illicit drug proceeds.
In the last ten years, U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) indicate that the percentage of Latin American non-U.S. citizens that were federally arrested in the U.S. for illegal drug offenses has increased from the low 20 percentile to over 30 percent as of 2003. For example, in 1999, regarding all federal drug arrests, 26.8% were non-U.S. citizens and 45.5% were Hispanic. Other DOJ BJS statistics showed that "in addition to immigration offenses, U.S. attorneys prosecuted an increased number of non-citizens for other crimes, especially for drug trafficking, which increased from 1,799 cases in 1985 to 7,803 in 2000." http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/press/iofc00pr.htm
Other noteworthy facts, according to National Criminal Justice Reference Service "Of noncitizens prosecuted in Federal courts during 1994, 55 percent were in the United States legally. During 1984, about 35 percent of noncitizens prosecuted in Federal courts were charged with a drug offense. By 1994, the proportion charged with a drug offense increased to 45 percent." http://www.ncjrs.gov/App/Publications/abstract.aspx?ID=160934

the third dimension has a x, y, and z axis (space). unlike the fourth dimension, there is no energy. there are no photons or momentum in the third dimension. due to the fact that photons are made like this
Creation of photons
Photons are produced by atoms when a bound electron moves from one orbital to another orbital with less (more negative) energy. Photons can also be emitted by an unstable nucleus when it undergoes some types of nuclear decay. Furthermore, photons are produced whenever charged particles are accelerated.
becuase of no movement there are no photons. that means at there is no light, meaning that there is no color.

Ejaculations- that's with an "s". I didn't want to get to deep with this. As a Child in catholic parochial school for Mothers day we filled out a card similar to a Christmas or birthday card for recognition of mothers day. Called a "Spiritual Bouquet for Mother". There were five categories we could fill in an amount that we would perform each item. "Masses, Holy Communions, Rosaries, Ejaculations, and Visits to the Blessed Sacrament". I chose to offer five repetitions of each except for the Rosaries which I had promised two. This word has so much negative baggage attached to it.

Companies Control Department
About Us
CCD has been established as an independent department from the Ministry of Industry & Trade since early 2002 pursuant to the amendment on companies law No. (22) of 1997 and pursuant to the amended temporary law No. (40) of 2002. The justifications of such independence emanated from the concept of reinforcing the ability to implement the law and creating broader visions and programs in a more flexible, independent way.
CCD plays two primary roles – Registration of various types of companies & imposing censorship over these companies legally and financially.
CCD provides clear, simple, computerized and quick services based on the system of “One – Stop –Service”.
CCD’s Methodology: (way of work) The core of our strategic plan is in answering the following questions:
- What does the government want from CCD?
- How do we expect to achieve that?
- How to measure success and effectiveness of our accomplishments?
We should answer these questions within the following general frame: The government, through its cabinet and other bodies-CCD being one of these bodies, sets its priority targets (results) which should be interpreted for the public utility as products and services (outputs). These results should also be identified as of its expected effect upon society and national economy. The legislative authority then accords the allocation of necessary financial resources to enable the government to fulfill these results through its bodies.
CCD’s Vision: Our goal at CCD is to be distinguished and competent in the services we provide in order to create a safe investment climate.
CCD’s Mission: CCD’s mission is to act as a committeed governmental department that coordinates with the private sector to provide an attractive investment environment accompanied by simple, clear and high-quality services.
CCD’s values:
- To provide a better service for the public.
- Effective leadership on all levels that supports creativity and initiative.
- High standards of integrity and professionalism.
- Strengthening the concept of cooperation and coordination with other governmental bodies.
- High levels of transparency to achieve equity and integrity.
- Supporting training and constant development.
- Creating a performance culture based on fulfillment of goals.
CCD’s national goals: First:Contributing in attracting and settling investments: CCD is considered as an investment incubator in the kingdom. It endeavors to achieve the best results.
Second: Contributing in the administrative reform of the public sector: Through the quality of its services, the competency of its staff and the high-tech it adopts.
CCD’s Institutional goals: CCD strives to develop an ideal registration and censorship environment and to develop its performance through the following:
- Development of procedures and mechanisms.
- Simplification of work procedures.
- Development of public awareness services.
- Increasing public satisfaction.
- Creating proper mechanisms to deal with companies violating the law.
- Boosting the legal environment.
- Developing an effective administrative system.
- Developing a proper human resources administration system.

The Rooswijk was a ship belonging to the VOC (Dutch East India Company) that sank in 1740.
History
The Rooswijk was built for the VOC "Chamber of Amsterdam" in 1737. On January 9 1740, during its second journey to the east, it sank on the sand bank of Goodwin Sands, about 8 km from the British mainland. There were no known survivors. At the time, it was captained by Daniel Ronzieres.
Recovery
In December 2005, it was made public that between May and September of that year a team led by Rex Cowan had recovered some of the ship and its contents. This was done in secrecy to avoid attracting looters. More work is planned for the 2006 diving season.
Lying at a depth of about 24 m, the Rooswijk had been discovered by an amateur diver in 2004. It is one of hundreds of wrecks on the treacherous Goodwin Sands.
Artifacts recovered included approximately one thousand bars of silver, gold coins and a mustard jar. When the VOC was disbanded in 1798, its possessions fell to the Batavian Republic, the legal successor of which is the current Dutch State, which therefore is entitled to the objects from the Rooswijk. They were presented to Junior minister of Finance Joop Wijn in Plymouth on December 11 2005.

TYF is a unsigned hip-hop group made up of two young white boys. Commack, New York is the town that they are boasting about in their songs saying "Not the hood", meaning, not the ghetto. Dolla Bill, or Gill, said that they are trying to prove that not only African-American people who grew up in rough neighborhoods could be part of the "Rap game". Stunna, or Cameron, said that he remembers and experiences his fellow classmates making fun of him when he wears his baggy clothes and say things like "Hey Cameron, your a white boy from Commack, get over it." His follow-up was, "I don't understand why people do this just because we're white. Yeah we know we're not black, yeah we know we're not from the hood, so we're not gonna rap about that stuff. We can rap about other things like kris-kross or lil bow-bow did. I just wanna prove that we can do it. Just to show all of the people that doubted us." They are currently in the process of making a new demo-tape to send to about eight record lables. Dolla Bill expects this to be done by mid-spring of 2006.

.berlin is an upcoming top level domain (TLD).
The new namespace of .berlin domain names will create local identity for Berlin's inhabitants and their city on the Internet. Through the localized .berlin URLs information from administration, business, science, culture, sports, welfare and from citizens will be intuitively available for providers, customers and visitors.
Our project will contribute to position Berlin as attractive location and dynamic metropolis nationally and internationally. The .berlin TLD is supported by a multiplicity of companies, associations and citizens and is acknowledged globally as precursor of TLDs for cities. With the concept we initiated a development which other metropolises like New York or London will follow.
The .berlin TLD will not only release a positive multifaceted pulse for Berlin and its hinterland, it will also bring Berlin's people, culture, business, innovational energy and internationality closer to other people worldwide.

- I've resurrected the text, as once you admit it is copyright (the original edit summary was plain wrong) and comply with the GFDL requirements on listing copyright owners and update history, it does appear to be copyright compatible with Wikipedia. However, my feeling is that it won't pass WP:CORP, and certainly doesn't pass WP:NPOV. It is also about a future event, which I believe is not normally permitted. If ICANN really is seeking revenue by creating city TLDs, my feeling is that the only valid place for such TLDs would be in the existing entry for the city. --David Woolley 13:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

The Nicea-Constatninope Creed, is the final revised version of the Nicean Creed used today by both the Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches. It was approved of by the Church at the Council of Chalcedon where it became the official Profession of Faith. Revisions, such as the addition to of the "Filioque" at the local council of Toledo III, would lead to the East West Schism of 1054. For more information on this creed research the first seven Ecumenical Councils, Nicea I through Constantinople II, also see Nicene Creed.

Shane Evans was born on April 26, 1971. Like his other band members, he grew up in Stockbridge, Georgia. His interest in music arose when he was ten years old and received a bass guitar for Christmas. He is also a very talented drummer (I sure hope so since he plays drums for Collective Soul). He played concert percussion throughout middle school and high school.

- Rumours are not acceptable sources (although a source that reports the existence of rumours may be). Also, if you really meant References, when you wrote Weblinks, there are much more credible sources (NASA, NeoDys, MPC, etc.) for information about minor planets, than personal web sites. There is also a problem with your orbital elements, as it takes six parameters to define an orbit, and you only have five, and an epoch date! You are missing M of 132,417 degrees and an epoch of a modified Julian date of 53700[9]. The time of production is also important as the orbit of something that could be rocket debris could be easily perturbed. I've corrected the spelling of "Semimajor axis". --David Woolley 07:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- PS I don't think it is a good idea to include detailed orbital elements in Wikipedia as anyone who actually needs to use them should be getting up to date values from JPL Horizons, NeoDys or MPC. They will change as more observations are made and also as the result of perturbations in the orbit. They are also two body approximations, so will, for near earth objects, change after encounters with the earth. --David Woolley 11:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Rodney (Gypsy) Smith, 1860-1947,British evangelist. He conducted evangelistic campaigns in the United States and Great Britain for over 70 years. He was a contemporary of Fanny Crosby and G. Campbell Morgan.
Born in a gypsy tent six miles northeast of London, at Epping Forest, he received no education. The family made a living selling baskets, tinware and clothespegs. His father, Cornelius, and his mother, Mary (Polly) Welch, provided a home that was happy in the gypsy wagon. Rodney was child when his mother died from smallpox. The Smith children numbered four girls and two boys (Rodney was the fourth child).
Cornelius was in and out of jail for various offenses. Here he heard the gospel from a prison chaplain and later he and his brothers were converted at a mission meeting. From 1873 on, "The Converted Gypsies" were involved in numerous evaelistic efforts.
Rodney's conversion as a sixteen-year-old came as a result of a combination of things. The witness of his father, the hearing of Ira Sankey sing, the visit to the home of John Bunyan in Bedford all contributed. He taught himself to read and write and began to practice preaching. He would sing hymns to the people he met and was known as the singing gypsy boy.
At a convention at the Christian Mission (later called the Salvation Army) headquarters in London, William Booth noticed the gypsies and realized that young Rodney. On June 25, 1877, he accepted the invitation of Booth to be an evangelist with and for the Mission. For six years (1877-1882), he served on street corners and mission halls.
He was married on December 17, 1879 to Annie E. Pennock, one of his converts. They served in several assignments and saw membership rise to hundreds, then a thousand. By June 1882, great crowds were coming and the work was growing. A gold watch was given him and about $20.00 was presented to his wife by the warm-hearted members of a local congregation. Acceptance of these gifts was a breach of the rules and regulations of the Salvation Army, and for this, he was dismissed from the Army. His eight assignments with the Salvation Army had produced 23,000 decisions and his crowds were anywhere up to 1,500.
He began to traveled extensively around the world on evagelistic crusades, drawing crowds numbering in the hundreds of thousands throughout his life. Busy as he was, he never grew tired of visiting gypsy encampments whenever he could on both sides of the Atlantic. Gipsy never wrote a sermon out for preaching purposes. Smith wrote several books and could sing as well as he preached. Sometimes he would interrupt his sermon and burst into song. Although he was a Methodist, ministers of all denominations loved him. It is said that he never had a meeting without conversions.
Duing World War I he ministered under the Y.M.C.A. auspices to the English troops in France, often visiting the front lines. As a result of this, King George VI made him a member of the Order of the British Empire.
Gipsy Smith's wife, Annie, died in 1937 at the age of 79 while he was in America. Front page headlines in 1938 carried the news of the 78-year-old widower marrying Mary Alice Shaw on her 27th birthday. This, of course, brought some criticism. But it was a good marriage, for she helped him in his meetings, sang, did scretarial work, and later nursed him when his health failed.
Stricken by a heart attack, he died on the Queen Mary on a cruise in America, age 87. It was estimated that this was his 45th crossing of the Atlantic. His funeral was held August 8, 1947 in New York City. A memorial with a plaque was unveiled on July 2, 1949 at Mill Plain, Epping Forest, England, his birthplace. So ends the life of one who once said, "I didn't go through your colleges and seminaries. They wouldn't have me...but I have been to the feet of Jesus were the only true scholarship is learned."

Portaboat is a boat that folds to 4 inches (100 mm) flat. It comes in four lengths of hull length 8 feet 6 inches (2.85 meters), 10 feet 8 inches (3.27 meters), 12 feet 6 inches (3.85 meters) 14 feet (4.28 meters), and hull weight 47 pounds (21 kilograms), 58 pounds (26 kilograms), 69 pounds (31 kilograms), and 96 pounds (43.6 kilograms).
The Portaboat was originally invented in 1969 and has undergone four different generations of models and sizes.
It became popular in the last 1980s and 1990s when many boating and fishing enthusiasts started downsizing to condominiums and apartments. There was no storage room for an ordinary boat.
It is also known as Foldaboat, Foldboat, Foldingboat, and Portabote.

Popular herbal medicine made by Hamdard Laboratories, Pakistan. Package labeling describes it as a digestive and carminative herb-mint tablet to correct indigestion, liver disorder, dyspepsia and constipation. The tablet is meant to be chewed or sucked on and has a distinctive bitter-spicy taste. This acquired taste is what has kept this medicine so popular over its history.

"Hey Now!" is a Larry Sanders Show saying, which has been adopted as a greeting by Howard Stern and his fans.
In its original Larry Sanders Show incarnation, it was spoken by Hank Kingsley (played by Jeffrey Tambour) and was directly derided as an affectation. Its adoption by Stern and fans is a direct and humorous tribute to the Larry Sanders Show, and has very much evolved into a part of the Howard Stern experience.
During Howard Stern's final terrestrial/WXRK broadcast on December 16th 2005, he whipped his live audience into a frenzy by greeting them with "Can I get a Hey Now!" and pointing the microphone at the crowd.
Occasionally, Howard Stern plays clips of the original Larry Sanders discussion of "Hey Now!" as an affectation.
"Hey Now!" can be heard frequently as a greeting, in locations ranging from Stern greeting a caller on the air to Home Depot paging systems: "Hey Now! Can I get a lumber associate to the panel saw? That's lumber associate to the panel saw. Thank you." The use of this greeting is usually indicative of a Howard Stern fan.

The Homeless Game is/was a frequent Howard Stern Show feature. An interviewer (formerly Stuttering John) would ask homeless people basic questions, and the show regulars (and, usually, call-in guests) would place bets on whether or not the homeless people could answer these simple questions.
Several variants of the game were also played, in particular where the same sorts of basic questions were asked of Playboy Playmates or female strippers.
A classic question asked of a stripper was "What is a pickle made from?", to which she replied that "A pickle is marinated from a grape".

This is the most elite unit of both the military and police special forces. This unit would be equivalent to the american green berrets or Delta Force. They are the most secretive of all special forces two. They fall under the ministry of defence and although they are supposed to be directed by the army chief of staff comand they pretty much are organized by themselves and can even be considered its own military branch. Althogh not that big in numbers they are considered the cream of the crop of every armed unit. They are very rarely called into action. Their most known acts are the retrivement of the black box of the nato F-117 that crashed in Kosovo, the help in the january 9 of the drowning refuges in the adriatic sea, the training of KLA(Kosovo liberation army) special forces, and help in other heavy natural causes. The unit has just about every specialist that can do any type of mission, Including: reconnaisance, demolition, paraschuting, rock climbing, diving, amphibious assault, snipers, sharpshooters, etc. A very small portion of this unit is even trained in the US for solo missions. This are the men who are often called Rambos, as their jobs and missions are the same as depicted in the holliwood movie.

The Church of Christ in Thailand was founded in 1934 as the "Church in Siam" with the express intent of forming a single ecumenical denomination to include all Protestant churches in Thailand. Other than a small number of American Baptist and British Churches of Christ congregations, all of the original member churches were originally Presbyterian congregations. The C.C.T. originally had seven districts, six geographical and one ethnic Chinese. Except for a brief period during World War II, Presbyterian missionary influence remained predominant in the C.C.T. until the late 1970s. Since 1990, the denomination has experience a major demographic shift. Tribal churches, mostly Baptist in origin, now account for about one-half of its total number of roughly 100,000 communicant members. The C.C.T. is a member of the World Council of Churches and the Christian Conference of Asia and is generally recognized to be a "mainline," ecumenical denomination. Its church government is a relatively centralized mixture of Presbyterian, Disciples, and Baptist polities.

A slang expression, normally used as a noun, to express the feeling of extreme anger.
The literal definition is of feeling like 'an ape during a thunderstorm', and is used to describe someone who is violently angry and irritated. In some ways this word can be seen as a similie, reflecting the behavior of a angry ape during bad weather onto the subject. It is also believed that it could be an ellision of the slang nouns 'ape-shit' and 'shit-storm'. However, many feel this is a sort of back-ronym of the word, and not its original genesis. Common uses of the noun appear in informal conversation. Examples include "He threw such a terrible apestorm when he found out" or "There's going to be an apestorm when they get back".
Apestorm is an emerging word used increasingly by younger speakers, especially in the South of England. It is also regarded as non-vulgar and socially acceptable.
A more concise definition can be found on the Urban Dictionary website.

Also known as Zordax, Skrale, Skraller, Lawler, Gayface... etc.
Born in 1988, Lawler became involved in various heavy metal acts at a young age. After being kicked out of "that crap band, SteelLined" for his "extra curricular activities", such as his involvement in better music, such as acid techno, braindance and the like.
Along with Jix, their outlandish musical styles and off-stage behaviour have earned the two the recognition they do not quite deserve. The off-tempo beats and dance-fuelled synths have somehow merged with the style of fellow DJ, Jix to become what is today known as "that Delta IX sound."
[b]Early Daze[/b]
Delta IX's first real exposure to the Irish dance scene was a decent party at Johnny Taylor's house circa 2005. After their "set", which consisted of them playing their own original material, some obscure AFX, and a pinch of Cylob, people kept hassling them for more tunes. After this warm welcome to the scene, they produced more original material, and are currently in the beta stage of releasing a dozen song demo.

Recyclops was a competetor on the first series of Robot Wars. Named Recyclops because it was made of recycled material. The robot was dome shaped and had a flipper that was shaped like a tongue. They got past the gauntlet and the trail and beat Scrapper in the semi-final. They went through to the grand final melee after they beat Mortis on a judge's decision. In the grand final, after Cunning Plan and TRACIE went out, the other robots ganged up on Recyclops, who were eventually forced to retire with a broken chain.

Background History
Anton grew up in the ghetto of Herndon, Virginia. He lived with his 12 brothers and 9 sisters. By the age of 8, Anton was able to do calculus in his head as quickly as you and me can add 1 and 2 together to get 3. As he entered high school, he soon got ideas of grandeur and power. Instead of paying attention in class, he would draw battle plans and maps of his future empire. One day in the life of Anton, a tall girl caught his attention. But the tall girl did not return the affection that Anton felt for her, so he came up with the ultimate solution to the problem of short people. He vowed to rid the Earth of short people so that someone like him wouldn't be turned down. With Evan Davis, the protegé of Mr. T, Anton amassed an army of pink fuzzles. Together, they invaded the country of Algeria and captured all the midgets to put them in little concentration camps where they were prohibited to eat food for days at a time. No one knows why they chose Algeria, it could have been because Algeria has an extensive drug-exchange business. Today, they live there and have aerobics classes occasionally. They also have recently taken up the hobby of beating a midget with a steel club each morning.

Hood in Oregon (about 6000' above sea level) and finishes at the Pacific Ocean in the town of Seaside, Oregon. Teams are generally comprised of 12 runners, each member running 3 legs of the course. The course is divided into 36 legs, each leg being between 3.8 and 7.9 miles in length. Teams generally use one or two vans to shuffle their runner's to each leg.
The race, founded by Bob Foote in 1982, attracts over a thousand teams each year, mostly running enthusiasts looking for a fun running road trip and adventure, but there are many elite teams as well consisting of some of the world's best runners - Alberto Salazar and Venuste Niyongabo have both run the relay for example.

A prior art reference anticipates a patent claim if it expressly or inherenty describes all of the elements in that claim. The doctrine of inherent anticipation is court-created and is somewhat inconsistent. It is counterbalance by a doctrine sometimes known as "accidental" anticipation.
In order to be anticipatory a reference must be enabling. Additionally the inherent element must be necessarily present in the prior in order for it to be found inherent. In other words, if practicing the prior art does not always result in the claimed element, then it is not inherent in the reference.

The movement in Quebec, supported by the political party Bloc Québecois, for Quebec to seperate from Canada and become its sovereign country. In 1995 there was a referendum on the question of seperatism. The results were NO: 50.56% (2,360,717)/ YES: 49.44% (8,072). The current leader of the Bloc is Gilles Duceppe who is leading the unpopular seperatist movement.

A French term meaning "a folder containing correspondence to be signed" - a word yet to be invented in English. I saw it stamped on the cover of a leather folder bought second-hand in Taihiti 30 years ago. The owner had been wondering all that time as to its meaning.
Need a new category:Streams of Alaska
We need a new category for smaller streams and creeks in Alaska, much like Streams of Pennsylvania lists smaller drainages in that State.
There are several famous creeks and brooks in Alaska which don't warrant categorization as 'rivers' but are still important features in Alaska's geographic lexicon. A few of examples (which may or may not exist, since I didn't research these) would be Ship Creek and Campbell Creek in Anchorage, the Noyes Slough and Goldstream Creek in Fairbanks and Lemon Creek in Juneau. Each of these citations, as it happens, also has some historic importance besides being locally significant waterways.

This is a proposal for a cryptographic system that would allow anyone to use the same password across different servers and not worry about one server using their password to login to their account on another server. I am going to demonstrate this with an example. Assume the two servers in question are AOL and Earthlink (ISP's).
Lets define some words for this demonstration.
RA1 = A random, long string that varies randomly among servers. It is publically known to everyone, never needs to change, is built into the software, and is determined by the server. RA1 denotes AOL's random string and is the same among all AOL software.
RA2 = Another random string for AOL, same properties as above, randomly different than RA1.
RA3 = Same as above (yet another, different string)
RE1 = Another random string, this one for Earthlink, determined by Earthlink, built into the Earthlink software, has the same properties as above.
RE2 = Same pattern
RE3 = Same pattern
Alice has Earthlink and AOL and wants to use the same password for both ISP's and yet not worry about anyone from one ISP stealing her password and using it to sign into the other ISP. So Alice picks the password, Bobisajerk. She types this into her AOL software. This Password then gets Hashed with a long Checksum (larger than 256 bits) and then the checksum gets Encrypted with RA1 to form ChecksumA1. ChecksumA1 then gets hashed with another checksum (256 bits) and then that checksum gets encrypted with RA2. RA2 acts as a private key (private key A1) and forms public Key A1 and Public key A1 gets encrtyped with RA3 to form Private key A2 (the procedure to form Private key A2 may vary, the idea here is that given Private key A2, no one should be able to easily determine Alice's password without performing a cryptographic attack and they shouldn't have enogh information to be able to use it to log into Earthlink even though Alice used the same password for both AOL and Earthlink. Private key A2 is never sent to the ISP, but it may be stored on Alice's computer. It does, however, give enough information to login to Alice's AOL account. Note, Public key A1 is not really a public key and the only information that may be stored on Alice's computer is Private key A2. None of the other information mentioned above, especially Alice's password, may be stored on Alice's computer. Alice does not have to store Private key A2 on her computer if she wishes, this is just so that she doesn't have to type in her password each time she logs in. Alice also doesn't have to worry about generating private key A2, all of this is done by the software, the only thing Alice has to worry about is typing in her password and if she wishes to save her password, the software will save Private key A2 and not her password. No other password Alice chooses should be able to create an identical Private key A2).
When Alice first chooses her password (to form Private key A2), Private key A2 acts as a private key to form Public Key A2. Public key A2 then acts as a private key to form Public key A3. Public Key A3 gets sent to the server and is stored on the AOL server. Public key A2 is never stored on the AOL server, but is sent to the server each time Alice logs in to confirm Alice's identity (since Public key A2 can be used to generate public key A3 and then the server can confirm that Public key A2 and Public key A3 are a key pair. However, given public key A3 it would be difficult to solve for Public key A2).
When Alice chooses her passwords for Earthlink, the same procedure happens as above, the only difference is, instead of RA1, RA2 and RA3 being used, the Earthlink software will use RE1, RE2, and RE3. Alice's password for Earthlink is the same password as her password for AOL.
Why is all this stuff useful? Allow me to demonstrate with some examples.
Example 1:
Eve works for AOL. She has enough access to access AOL's database where all the Public key A3's are stored. She steals Alice's public key A3. She still doesn't have enough information to login to Alice's AOL account (she needs public key A2 to login to Alice's account and Publiic key A2 would require a cryptographic attack to compute). Eve also doesn't have enough information to determine Alice's password or to login to Alice's Earthlink account (again, without a cryptographic attack).
Example 2:
Steve Case has much higher access than Eve. Steve Case has enough access to watch Alice when she logs in with Public key A2 and steal Public key A2 from Alice as Alice logs in. Now Steve case has enough information to login to Alice's AOL account; however, he doesn't have enough information to determine Alice's password or to login to her Earthlink account (again, without a cryptographic attack).
Also, if Alice were on a public, unencrypted Wifi with a laptop and someone stole Public key A2 (idealy you probably want to use ssl) that person would still not be able to determine Alice's password and he won't be able to login to Alice's Earthlink account.
Example 3:
Alice has two computers, computer 1 located in Washington, computer 2 located in Texas. She uses her AOL account on computer 1 and her Earthlink account on computer 2. She is currently in Texas on Earthlink and she has Private key A2 stored on computer 1 in Washington. Bob wants to get even with Alice for something so he breaks into Alice's house in Washington and steals Private key A2. Now Bob has enough information to login to Alice's AOL account; however, he does not have enough information to determine Alice's password or login to her Earthlink account (not without a cryptographic attack).

USS Chickadee (AM-59), an Auk class minesweeper, was launched on 20 July 1942 at the Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, Michigan; sponsored by Mrs. G. B. Coale. She was commissioned on 9 November 1942, with Lieutenant Commander G. B. Coale, USNR, in command; and reported to the Atlantic Fleet.
Between 15 February and 4 May 1943, Chickadee voyaged from Norfolk, Virginia, to Casablanca on convoy escort duty, then participated in an anti-submarine search and escorted coastal convoys until 19 June. Chickadee sailed out of Norfolk and New York as an escort for vessels sailing to Iceland or the Caribbean between 7 July 1943 and 2 March 1944.
Chickadee cleared Charleston, South Carolina, on 7 April for Milford Haven, Wales, arriving there on 12 May. For the remainder of the month, the minesweeper engaged in training exercises for the coming invasion of Europe. Arriving off Normandy on 5 June 1944, Chickadee swept fire support channels into Baie de la Seine and throughout the various assault areas along the French coast. She performed her hazardous duties under enemy shore fire on several occasions, but escaped with only minor damage from shrapnel and no casualties. The ship assisted in the rescue of survivors from USS Osprey (AM-56) and LST 133, and towed the damaged LST-133 to safety.
Chickadee continued to operate off the coast of France, with frequent visits to British ports, until 1 August 1944 when she departed Plymouth for Naples, Italy. After arriving in Italian waters on 12 August, she swept in Bonifacio Straits until 23 August when she sailed to Baie de la Cavalaire, France, for sweeping operations during the invasion of southern France. Between 29 August and 2 October, she swept the harbor of Marseilles, and conducted anti-submarine patrol off that port.
During October and November 1944, Chickadee carried out a visual search for mines south of San Remo, Italy. After a brief overhaul at Palermo, Sicily, she returned to sweeping duty throughout the Mediterranean, operating out of Cannes, Nice, Leghorn, Palermo, Malta, and Corsica. On 31 May 1945, she cleared Oran, Algeria, for Norfolk, arriving there on 15 June.
After a lengthy overhaul, Chickadee sailed from Norfolk on 18 September 1945 for the Pacific, reaching San Pedro, California, on 10 October. On 26 November, she sailed for Astoria, Oregon, where she was placed out of commission in reserve on 15 May 1946. Her classification was changed to MSF-59, on 7 February 1955.
Chickadee received two battle stars for World War II service.

Brandon Bochenski, #10 (born April 4, 1982) rookie ice hockey player with the Ottawa Senators of the NHL.
Born in Blaine, Minnisota he was Ottawa's second draft pick in the seventh round of the 2001 entry draft(223rd overall), 26th overall. He currently plays the right wing on a line with Bryan Smolinski and Peter Schaefer.
Bochenski led the USHL in goals and was second in points in the 2000-01 season. That June, he was drafted by the Senators. He may have been drafted sooner, had he and a friend not been accused of producing counterfeit money.
He went on to play for the University of North Dekota, where he finished second in the nation in scoring with 60 points (27 goals, 33 assists), and was named WCHA rookie of the year. In his final season at UND, Bochenski was named Sports Illustrated's "On Campus Player of the Year." He led North Dakota in goals, assists, points, power-play goals, short-handed goals and was named first-team All American.
Bochenski joined the Binghamton Senators of the AHL in 2004-05 after leaving the University of North Dakota a year early. He played on a line with playmaking center Jason Spezza, who complemented his game immensely. He enjoyed a successful rookie season with the Binghamton in 2004-05 being named to the AHL All-Rookie Team and leading all first-year players with 70 points (34 goals, 36 assists) in 75 games.
At the beginning of the 2005-2006 season of the NHL, Bochenski had great success in training camp and in eight pre-season games, playing on a line with former linemate Jason Spezza and star scorer Dany Heatley. However, the pressure of being on the top line of one of the top teams in the league apparently effected Bochenski once the regular season began, and despite the maintained success of Spezza and Heatley, Bochenski failed to live up to expectations, producing only one goal and three assists in ten games. He was sent back to Binghamton to retrieve his game.
However, because of an injury to Martin Havlat, Bochenski was called back up to play in Ottawa. Without the pressure of playing on the top line, Bochenski flourished. To date, has 13 points in 17 games (6 goals, 7 assists), including a hat trick against the Florida Panthers.

Peter Norman is a former Australian track star best known for winning the silver medal in the 200 metres at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. The gold and bronze medalists were Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos, respectively. On the medal podium, during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner, Smith and Carlos, both African-Americans, famously joined in a black power salute. What is less known is that Norman, a Caucasian, donned a badge on the podium in support of their cause, the Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPHR). Norman is also the one who suggested that Smith and Carlos share the black gloves used in their salute; it was originally planned for Smith to don both. Today Norman lives in Melbourne and works for the Australian government, in the Department of Sport and Recreation.

Morality of Terrorism
Yashar Keramati offers a few suggestions which may shine a light on the moral status of some terrorist attacks. First, he explains that terrorism is a matter of perception; what may seem to be a terrorist to one group is in reality a hero or freedom fighter to another. He goes on to add that most terrorists are products of poor countries with facing immense interstate and civil disputes. Especially in the case of interstate conflicts, as mentioned before, the country which the terrorists are fighting for are often quite weak. Keramati says "Take for example the case of moderately powerful, American backed, undeclared nuclear power which is Israel and Palestine; a country with a weak economy and even weaker government". Keramati maintains that regardless of wither on sympathizes with Israel or Palestine, one fact remains the same: in this armed conflict, one has modern military power and the other not. What this leads to is two armies, one being the organized modern one, the other one being of a much less organized, civilian based militia. Say one was to assume that both states were equally just or equally wrong in the conflict, come fighting time, both will eject their forces against the other. Since the Palestinians do not have modern weaponry or an army nearly as powerful as the Israeli's, they fight in a different way.
Keramati explains then that the Palestinians fight in a way as to not destroy the Army of Israel, but to destroy the governmental policies of Israel which are the root of the damage towards Palestine. Keramati then explains a remarkable theory in which he states that one reason for terrorist attacks against civilians (car bombs, bombs and shootings in public places etc.) is to scare the public of their enemy state into forcing their own government to give the terrorist what they want. The way that this would work for example is that Israeli's after having their country attacked will want Israel and Palestine to reach an understanding on whatever terms necessary so they could be freed from their fears of worrying about their loved ones going into public places or engaging in everyday life without fear of death. Thus, although it is often seen as immoral to kill civilians in times of war, the saying "all is fair in love and war" seems quite appropriate here according to Keramati. Yashar Keramati sums up his point on the subject by saying that the only way one can determine is terrorism is moral or immoral is to look at the reasons for the initial conflict, see who is justified in the stance regarding the dispute, and the figuring out if the state which is valid in its dispositions have any other efficient ways to reach their goals. Sadly, the answer often seems to be no, thus "terrorist" take arms as they have nothing more to lose and seemingly more to gain.

Background
ULi made its debut as a fabless IC design house in 2002. Although young in history, ULi has quickly made its way to become one of industry's leading solutions provider of core logic chipsets, multimedia, PC-host peripherals, embedded and IPC controllers.
Taking its leadership role in advancing technology, ULi's strong background and expertise in the PC core logic arena enables ULi to evolve with the fast paced technology to deliver long line of comprehensive leading-edge
solutions to the emerging digital consumer electronic market. Headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, ULi's global culture and proximity advantage assures extensive manufacturing infrastructure which brings even greater value to ULi's customers around the globe ensuring customers of world-class products and world-class support.
Chipsets
It has a lot of component level products which attracted a number of major partners in Taiwan to implement mainboards based on them. One of such is the ULi M1689. Although this AMD based AGP 8x chipset did not seem to outshine the rest of the competitors, it proved that ULi is able to make good chipsets with good quality. It was adapted on board from ABIT, ALBATRON, ASROCK, GIGABYTE.
ULi M1695 is the milestone for ULi Electronics. Together with ASrock, they made a success with the Asrock 939Dual-SATA2. It is a board that supports both native AGP 8x and PCIe. The first ever board that supports TGI or Triple Graphics Interface.
With the ULi M1695, users were able to overclock it to insane speeds like 400HTT. That would have surprised many especially those paying doubled the price for a DFI NF4 chipset mainboard.
This chipset also spurred lots of discussions on renown website OCWORKBENCH's forum at http://www.ocworkbench.com/asrock. The community is very unique there with ULi supporters gathered.

Billy Tally is the engineer who was responsible for heading development of the Saleen S7, the "first production American Supercar" under direction of Steve Saleen. Following completion of school, Billy began his career in racing, serving as lead race team engineer for various teams in NASCAR, CART, and Le Mans. Eventually he was hired by Steve Saleen, who was a driver in Formula Atlantique at the time, to direct engine development and tuning for the Saleen-Allen Speedlabs racing team which went on to achieve multiple SCCA wins with modified Ford Mustangs.

Showcase showdown (The Price is Right)
Showcase showdown (The Price is Right) is a feature of the long-running CBS game show The Price is Right. It was introduced in 1975 when the show expanded to an hour. It is used to determine which contestants go on to the Showcase round at the end of the show. In the show's 30-minute format, the top two on-stage winners (determined by their amount of winnings from their on-stage game and the one-bid rounds combined) would go to the Showcase. The Showcase Showdown consists of a big wheel which has money amounts ranging from 5 cents all the way up to $1.00 (in increment of 5 cents).
RULES
- After the third pricing game, the three on-stage contestants play the Showcase Showdown to determine who wins and goes on to the Showcase.
- To determine the spinning order, they go by the contestants' total winnings (determined by adding what they won in the one-bid and what they won in their pricing game). The player with the highest amount of winnings spins last; the player with the lowest amount of winnings spins first.
- The object of the game is to get as close to $1.00 without going over. Going over $1.00 automatically eliminates a player from the game. If the first two spinners go over a dollar, the third spinner automatically wins and gets one spin in order to try to get $1.00.
- Getting $1.00 in one spin or a combination of two spins (e.g. 75 cents plus 25 cents) earns the player a $1,000 bonus and a bonus spin.
- If a spinner spins an amount which is less than the leader's total amount, they must spin again to see if they can get a higher total (even though they can go over $1.00).
- The wheel is required to make at least one revolution. Otherwise, the audience will boo the player, and the emcee will ask the player to spin it harder.
- In the bonus spin, landing on one of the green sections (the 5 cent space under the $1.00 or the 15 cent space above the $1.00) will net the player an additional $5,000 (for a total bonus of $6,000). Landing on the $1.00 space will earn the player an extra $10,000 (for a total bonus of $11,000). In the nighttime specials, the $10,000 bonus is replaced by a $1 million bonus. However, during the nighttime specials, if neither Showcase Showdown sees somebody win a $1,000 bonus, the winner of the Showcase will get one spin for $1 million (the $5,000 bonus is not in effect in this case); if there is a double overbid, the emcee will randomly draw the name of an audience member who will get to spin for $1 million.
- During the bonus spin, the wheel must make at least one complete revolution. If the player fails to get the wheel all the way around, the spin will not count, and the player will not get to spin again.
HISTORY
During Labor Day week of 1975, CBS aired a special week of hour-long episodes. The wheel used during this time was completely different from the current wheel. The original wheel (nicknamed the "Rainbow Wheel" due to the rainbow colors all over the wheel) was spun horizontally (as opposed to the current wheel which is spun vertically). The $1,000 rule was in effect, however there was no bonus spin.
When TPIR made the full-time expansion to one hour in January 1976, the "Rainbow Wheel" was replaced with the current wheel. However, there were no green sections and there was no bonus spin. The green sections and the bonus spin were not added until 1979. Since then, there have been a few cosmetic additions and enhancements to the wheel and the Showcase Showdown set.

The British Open had been extended to 72 holes seven years earlier. The USGA decided to do the same in 1898. It also separated the Amateur and the Open Championships. The Open was played in June at the Myopia Hunt Club in South Hamilton, Mass., on a nine-hole course which required the competitors to go around eight times in the two alloted days.
Fred Herd, a Scottish professional at the Washington Park course, Chicago, did the rounds in 84-85-75-84--328 to win. Alex Smith was second; he was later to win twice.

One of the best exponents of the Gaelic (largely Irish) Game of Hurling.A similar game is played in Scotland, called Shinty. Hurling is recognised as the fastest field game in the world. Sylvie Linnane played for the county team of Galway both as a younger and senior player. His heyday was in the 1980's, which saw him win several all-ireland championships.
He currently coaches a local Hurling team to his home town of Gort, Co. Galway. The club name is Beagh. Sylvie was often described as terrier-like and tenacious in his defence of the back line. He was nimble and quick on the ball, very skillful and fearless. Undoubtedly the fans favourite in many polls taken right up to this day.

Bloco Vomit is a Scottish band, from Edinburgh. In 1995 they started playing what they call a "Samba Punk", mixing the traditional rhythms from Brazil with a raw, primarily punk. The name "Samba Punk" is also a pun on the "Samba Rock", a brazillian variation that follows the same principle, that of mixing traditional percussive music with guitars.
Bloco Vomit also mix reggae, r'n'b, rock and garage elements. The percussion arrangements follow the same pattern of a brazillian bateria, with 10-12 drummers plus trumpet, guitar, vocals and sometimes bass.
The band has three cds until now - "Never Mind The Bossa Nova - Here's Bloco Vomit", "Play This Ya Bastard!" and ".vom".
"Never Mind The Bossa Nova - Here's Bloco Vomit" was their debut album, recorder on June 30th and September 13-14th 1997, released in the same year by their own label X-Creature Productions and in Brazil by Trama Records. The album features 12 songs, all of them covers of punk or post-punk bands such as The Clash, Sex Pistols, Jonathon Richman and the Modern Lovers and Siouxsie and the Banshees, mixing Samba, Maracatu, Batucada and other brazillian rhythms with guitars and punk.
In the following year the 2nd cd came out. "Play This Ya Bastard" gave continuity to the band first album and their mixing of samba and percussion. Recorded in at Chamber Studios in Edinburgh. Engineered and mixed by Grant McNamara. Released on their own label X-Creature Productions and in Brazil by Trama Records. This new cd not only had cover of Dead Kennedys, Buddy Holly and Richard Berry, but also featured two Bloco Vomit's songs: Carnival in Olinda and Methadone Maracatu, written while the band was spending Carnival in brazillian city of Olinda.
The 3rd CD, ".vom" was recorded on 9th and 10th December 2000 and January 20th 2001, engineered and mixed by Ben Ivitsky. Consisting of four pieces, two of them were original. One of them, "O Encontro de Ian Heavens com Chico Science No Ceu" was an homage to brazillian singer Chico Science, who died in February 2, 1997 in a car accident. Science work had a huge influency on Bloco Vomit's work. The song was also a tribute to Ian Heavens, co-founder of Bloco Vomit, who died on the 22nd December 2000. The name of the song came from a Chico Science song and its name means "The meeting of Ian Heavens and Chico Science in Heaven". The song is a remake of Methadone Maracatu and featured Claudio "Zambohead" Maracatu guest vocal.
Others song in this record include Van Morrison/Patti Smith song Gloria, The Man Who Sold the World, by Bowie and another original song, No Immunity.

Sexenio:Is one of Mexico’s most important political institutions. It is the term limit on the Mexican Presidency which limits the office holder to one six year term. It is important because it is one of the few limitations on executive power in Mexico which is strong at Local, State, and National levels. Without the Sexenio Mexico would most likely not be considered a democracy since most presidents are elected by one party. Example: PRI rule of Mexico for most of the 20th century.

It looks identical to a Scotch Bonnet Pepper, but is not hot. In Venezuela, it is used as the main flavoring ingredient in empanadas (meat pies). The flavor is very pervasive, kind of like a bell pepper, but totally different; more of a tropical, mango, pungent flavor. Never tasted anything like it.
The Cross Timbers is a savanna on the southern Great Plains running from southeastern Kansas, across central Oklahoma, into central Texas. It lies at eastern edge of the great prairies. The Cross Timbers is dominated by post oak and blackjack interspersed with patches of open prairie—both tall and short grass. The thick growth formed an almost impenetrable barrier for early American explorers and travelers. Washington Irving described it as "like struggling through forests of cast iron."

Albert Sadacca was fifteen in 1917, when he first got the idea to make safety Christmas lights for Christmas trees. A tragic fire in New York City involving Christmas tree candles inspired Albert to invent electric Christmas lights. The Sadacca family sold ornamental novelty items including novelty lights. Albert adapted some of the products into safe electric lights for Christmas trees. The first year only one hundred strings of white lights sold. The second year Sadacca used brightly colored bulbs and a multi-million dollar business took-off. Later, a company started by Albert Sadacca (and his two brothers Henri and Leon) called NOMA Electric Company became the largest Christmas lighting company in the world.

Rotherfield
Situated in the High Weald in East Sussex, it's surrounded by beautiful countryside - green rolling hills interspersed with woodlands - typical of this area of south east England.
The parish of Rotherfield lies six miles south of the spa town of Tunbridge Wells, and it is the principal watershed of East Sussex. Not only does the river Rother rise in the cellar of Rotherhurst on the outskirts of the village, but tributaries of the Medway and Ouse have their beginnings here. The houses are characteristically Wealden with weather boarding or vertical tiling and the village centre enjoys the protection afforded a conservation area.
Rotherfield village has a population of 1,400 whilst the parish of Rotherfield is one of the largest in this part of Sussex, being home to about 3,200 souls.
The church of St Denys with its lofty shingled spire dominates the surrounding area, the oldest parts of the building dating back to the 11th century. In the churchyard stands an ancient yew tree - believed to be over 1,500 years old. Many houses in Rotherfield are listed as being of historic interest. In the high street the chimney stack above the Highgate Farm Shop takes the shape of three hooped cannons to remind the villagers that the building was once the Three Guns Inn. It dates back to a period when the iron industry flourished in these parts - supplying the raw materials to make cannons for the British Navy. The Kings Arms pub lies in the centre of the village and, as well as being the home of good food and warming ale, has a long and interesting history dating back to the 16th century.
A number of Rotherfield residents achieved notoriety and fame in times gone by. During the reign of Mary Tudor at least three villagers, Alexander Hosmer, Ann Ashdowne and John Ashdowne, were tortured and burnt at the stake in Lewes for their faithful adherence to their "reformed" religion. In more recent times Sophia Jex Blake, one of the first women to qualify as a doctor, and the founder of a medical school for women, lived in the parish. She died here in 1912 and is buried in Rotherfield churchyard.
Rotherfield does not rest on its historical laurels. It welcomed in the new millennium with the opening of the Millennium Green to provide a recreational area for the villagers and a haven for the local fauna and flora.
It boasts a thriving community spirit with an array of clubs and organisations who, in 1992, combined their organisational strengths to stage a wonderful year of celebrations to commemorate the 1200 year history of St Denys Church.
Zurkhaneh, Venue of Physical and Ethical Training
After Herodotus reports on the extent of importance that Iranians attached to sports, Greeks started to appreciate physical education, too.
In his article on “Mithraism and Iranian ancient sport”, Mehrdad Bahar shows the common points between Iranian ancient sport and Mithraism. Being the symbol of chivalry and bravery, the “god of sun” is also a guide to religion, friendship, blessing, and fortune. This god in Iran created religious, Gnostic, and chivalrous patterns and deeply affected Iranian nation and culture so that Iranian, consciously or unconsciously, followed his patterns before and after the advent of Islam.
The available information shows the common grounds between the Iranian ancient sport (Zurkhaneh sport) and Mithraism rituals. Besides, a warrior in Zurkhaneh is expected to be pure, truthful, good tempered and early riser. Avesta says that “sun” is the word of God; he is the enemy of lie and friend of truth, representing good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.
A warrior is a paragon of valor who fears no one and fights the enemies single handedly. The “sun”, too, is the most powerful among other entities; he is athletic, tall, husky, and strong. A warrior should start his exercises right after saying his prayers in the morning when the “sun” rises and illuminates the world. In Zurkhaneh, only adults are admitted just like in the Mithraism where only matured individuals are entitled to attend the ceremonies. In Zurkhaneh, like Mithraism, women are not admitted; wealth, property, and social status are considered no advantage in both Zurkhaneh and Mithraism. Warriors think of each other as brothers and co-religionists. In Zurkhaneh, veterans are most favored; the same as Mithraism.
