UCR mascot Highlander
– (View AfD)(View log)
The key reason for the deletion is there's not much added here that isn't already covered at University of California, Riverside. The Highlander as a mascot is not particularly noteworthy, nor is it a specific "incarnation" of a mascot, e.g. Buzz (mascot) or Bevo (mascot). There is insufficient material for this to stand on its own as an article, and the awkward article title - which is not the proper form of name of the mascot - is not a likely search term, so it can be deleted outright. —C.Fred (talk) 01:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete and redirect to University of California, Riverside as the article List of U.S. college mascots links to this article the redirect would help inhibit reconstruction of an article that appears to be well addressed on the main page. Jeepday 02:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
No issue with that link any more. :) Since there is no specific incarnation of the Highlander, it's outside the scope of that list, so I removed it from the list. —C.Fred (talk) 03:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Horace McKenna | more footnotes | Horace B. McKenna, S.J. (January 2, 1899 — May 11, 1982) was an American Catholic priest, founder of S.O.M.E. (So Others Might Eat), and advocate of the Sursum Corda Cooperative. |
Horace McKenna | Biography | Biography
The youngest of 6 children, Horace was born in 1899 New York City, the son of Dr. Charles F. McKenna, a respected chemist and first chemical engineering graduate of Columbia University School of Mines, and Laura O'Neill McKenna. Educated at Fordham Preparatory School, McKenna entered the Society of Jesus at St. Andrew-on-the-Hudson on July 30, 1916. Between 1921 and 1923, he taught in a Jesuit school in Manila, Philippines. There, he discovered the desperate needs of the poor and oppressed. He was ordained June 23, 1929 and assigned to pastor parishes in southern Maryland amidst poverty and segregation including St. Peter Claver's Church, St. James' Church, St. Ignatius' Church and St. Inigoes's where he was assigned in June 1931. Here he worked for twenty-two years, and among his efforts helped create the Ridge Purchasing and Marketing Association. He was active in civil rights, Vietnam-era anti-war protests and the Poor People's Campaign.
From 1953 to 1958, he served at St. Aloysius Gonzaga parish, a Jesuit church a few blocks north of the U.S. Capitol, and then as assistant pastor at the Church of the Gesú in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1958 to 1964. In 1964 he returned to St. Aloysius and remained there for the rest of his life, living at Gonzaga College High School and serving the poor. In his commitment to social justice in Washington, D.C., Fr. McKenna founded So Others Might Eat, a soup kitchen, clinic and employment center; Martha's Table, a soup kitchen and child education center; and House of Ruth, a center for homeless women. He was also one of the leaders in establishing the Sursum Corda Cooperative, a housing development for the poor. Documentation of his life's work is maintained in the Georgetown University Library Special Collections Division.
McKenna was named "Washingtonian of the Year" by Washingtonian Magazine in 1977. He received an honorary degree from the University of Scranton in 1998. The McKenna Center, a local shelter and soup kitchen for homeless men, located under the Great Church of St. Aloysius, was named after him in 1982. McKenna Walk NW, a short street within Sursum Corda, is also named after him.
The Father McKenna Center is still located in the basement of Saint Aloysius Catholic Church at 900 North Capitol Street NW in Washington, DC. The McKenna Center exists to meet the needs of the poor and homeless who reside in one of Washington's poorest neighborhoods despite being in the shadow of the US Capitol Building. McKenna Center serves the needs of the poor, men, women and children. Each day, the McKenna Center fulfills the Gospel instruction to “feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and clothe the naked”.
McKenna is buried in the Jesuit Community Cemetery at Georgetown University. |

Felix Makasiar | Short description | Félix Valencia Makasiar (November 20, 1915 – February 19, 1992) was the 14th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, serving in that capacity for four months in 1985. His 85-day stint as Chief Justice, abbreviated only because of the rule requiring mandatory retirement upon reaching the age of 70, was the third shortest in Philippine history, behind the tenures of Pedro Yap and Teresita Leonardo-de Castro. Prior to his promotion as Chief Justice, Makasiar had served for 15 years as an Associate Justice. |
Felix Makasiar | Profile | Profile
Makasiar was born in Siaton, Negros Oriental, on November 20, 1915, to Agustín Makasiar and Petra Valencia. He finished his primary and secondary education in his home province. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Far Eastern University, and enrolled at the University of the Philippines College of Law, where he obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree, cum laude, in 1939.Justices of the Supreme Court of the Philippines Vol. III, p. 61 He later obtained a Master of Laws degree from the University of Santo Tomas.
Upon passing the bar in 1939, Makasiar joined government service as an attorney with the Department of Justice. He would not leave the government service until his retirement from the Supreme Court in 1985. Makasiar rose in the ranks, beginning with a stint with the Office of the Solicitor General, then as a trial court judge beginning in 1954. He was appointed Solicitor-General and Undersecretary of the Department of Justice from 1968 to 1970, and as Secretary of Justice from May until August 1970, at which time he was appointed as Associate Justice to the Supreme Court.Justices of the Supreme Court of the Philippines Vol. III, at 62
Prior to his appointment to the High Court, Makasiar also worked as a law professor in several universities, including the Manuel L. Quezon University and the San Beda College.
He was married to Teofista F. Santos of Rizal with whom he had six children: Loretta M. Sicat, Rosella Jean M. Puno, Barry, Gary, Cynthia, and Eleanore Lynn M. Paez. |
Felix Makasiar | Supreme Court service | Supreme Court service
Makasiar served a total of 15 years on the Court, all within the term of his appointer and law school classmateRes Gestae, p. 199 President Ferdinand E. Marcos. He became chair of the Judiciary Code Committee, the vice-chair of the Committee on the Revised Rules of Court, and the first chair of the Sharia bar examinations inaugurated in 1984. |
Felix Makasiar | Jurisprudence | Jurisprudence
The most prominent issues during Makasiar's tenure on the Court concerned the validity of the acts of the martial law regime began by Marcos in 1972. On those issues, Makasiar had been described as a loyal ally of Marcos and a consistent supporter of the President's New Society policies. He was among the Justices who voted to affirm the validity of the 1973 Constitution in the seminal case of Javellana v. Executive Secretary, 50 SCRA 33 (1973). More prominently, in Aquino v. COMELEC, 62 SCRA 33 (1975), Makasiar wrote for the Court as it denied petitions for prohibition which maintained that Marcos, whose original term as president expired 2 years earlier, held no legal office nor lawful authority. Relying on Javellana and Aquino v. Ponce-Enrile (which affirmed the validity of the 1972 proclamation of martial law), Makasiar wrote that Marcos was the de jure incumbent President of the Philippines.
In questions concerning labor law and social justice, Makasiar's opinions for the Court reflected sympathies to the common man, and would sometimes resort in rebuke to injustices as reflected by the facts of the case. For example, in Carbonell v. CA, 69 SCRA 99(1976), Makasiar wrote: Hence, Carbonell's prior purchase of the land was made in good faith. Her good faith subsisted and continued to exist when she recorded her adverse claim four (4) days prior to the registration of Infante's deed of sale. Carbonell's good faith did not cease after Poncio told her on January 31, 1955 of his second sale of the same lot to Infante, Because of that information, Carbonell wanted an audience with Infante, which desire underscores Carbonell's good faith. With an aristocratic disdain unworthy of the good breeding of a good Christian and good neighbor, Infante snubbed Carbonell like a leper and refused to see her. So Carbonell did the next best thing to protect her right — she registered her adverse claim on February 8, 1955. Under the circumstances, this recording of her adverse claim should be deemed to have been done in good faith and should emphasize Infante's bad faith when she registered her deed of sale four (4) days later on February 12, 1955.
In Menez v. ECC, G.R. L-48488, April 25, 1980, a case involving the upholding of a teacher's compensation due to occupational disease, Makasiar expounded at length on the plight of public school teachers:... Rheumatoid arthritis and pneumonitis can be considered as such occupational diseases. All public high school teachers, like herein petitioner, admittedly the most underpaid but overworked employees of the government, are subject to emotional strains and stresses, dealing as they do with intractable teenagers especially young boys, and harassed as they are by various extra-curricular or non- academic assignments, aside from preparing lesson plans until late at night, if they are not badgered by very demanding superiors. In the case of the petitioner, her emotional tension is heightened by the fact that the high school in which she teaches is situated in a tough area - Binondo district, which is inhabited by thugs and other criminal elements and further aggravated by the heavy pollution and congestion therein as well as the stinking smell of the dirty Estero de la Reina nearby. Women, like herein petitioner, are most vulnerable to such unhealthy conditions. The pitiful situation of all public school teachers is further accentuated by poor diet for they can ill-afford nutritious food. xxx In her work, petitioner also has to contend with the natural elements, like the inclement weather — heavy rains, typhoons — as well as dust — and disease-ridden surroundings peculiar to an insanitary slum area. xxx These unwholesome conditions are "normal and consistently present in" or are the "hazards peculiar to" the occupation of a public high school teacher. It is therefore evident that rheumatoid arthritis and pneumonitis are the "natural incidents" of petitioner's occupation as such public high school teacher. xxx It must be borne in mind that petitioner was a teacher of the Raja Soliman High School which is located in the heart of Binondo District. She was constantly exposed to the heavily polluted air and congestion (squatter's area) characteristic of the area. She was not only exposed to the elements - varying degrees of temperature throughout the day and night - but also had to withstand long hours of standing while performing her teaching job. Likewise, she had to regularly negotiate long trips from her home in Project 2, Quirino District, Quezon City (her residence) to said high school in Binondo, scampering from one ride to another, rain or shine, and sweating in the process. |
Felix Makasiar | Promotion to Chief Justice | Promotion to Chief Justice
Makasiar's appointment as Chief Justice by President Marcos on July 25, 1985, replacing Enrique Fernando, was deemed as controversial. Had the tradition of seniority been observed by Marcos, Claudio Teehankee, who was appointed to the Court nearly two years prior to Makasiar, would have been elevated as Chief Justice. However, Teehankee had constantly voted to nullify the actions of the martial law regime, in contrast to the more favorable positions of Makasiar.
During Makasiar's brief tenure as Chief Justice, the Supreme Court issued two notable rulings favorable to the Marcos government.Res Gestae, p. 200-201 In Galman v. Pamaran, 138 SCRA 294 (1985), the Court ruled in favor of the defendants in the pending murder trial of Benigno Aquino Jr. after they sought the exclusion of their earlier testimonies before the Agrava Board previously tasked with investigating the Aquino assassination. In Ilagan v. Enrile, 139 SCRA 349(1985), the Court refused to act on petitions for habeas corpus filed in behalf of 3 lawyers who had been arrested and detained without warrants of arrest, ruling that the petitions were mooted by the subsequent filing of criminal informations for rebellion against the lawyers. |
Felix Makasiar | Retirement and death | Retirement and death
Makasiar retired from the Supreme Court upon reaching the age of 70 in November 1985. He died 7 years later, on February 19, 1992, in Manila. |

Rufous-bellied thrush | Short description | The rufous-bellied thrush (Turdus rufiventris) is a songbird of the thrush family (Turdidae). Its distribution covers most of eastern and southeastern Brazil from the states of Maranhão south to Rio Grande do Sul, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and central regions of Argentina.
It is one of the most common birds across much of southeastern Brazil, and is known there under the name sabiá-laranjeira (). It was famously referred to in the well-known first strophe of the Brazilian nationalist poem Canção do exílio. The rufous-bellied thrush has been the state bird of São Paulo since 1966, and the national bird of Brazil since 2002. It is highly regarded in Brazil, where its song is often heard in the afternoons, but specially during the nights between August and November, where thousands of them sing until the sunrise, and is often seen as "the spirit of the Brazilian commoner". |
Rufous-bellied thrush | Description | Description
This species is named after its distinctive reddish-orange underparts. Rufous-bellied thrushes can reach a length of 25 cm and weigh up to 68 g (male) or 78 g (female),Sick et al. (1997): p.705 though weights of about 59 g for males and 64 g for females are more usual. Contrary to what one might expect from the rather marked weight difference, the females are not larger, only plumper; their tarsus is actually a bit shorter than that of males on average. |
Rufous-bellied thrush | Habits | Habits
Found in forests and urban wooded areas, it is an omnivorous bird. Its food consists mainly of fruits and arthropods,Sick et al. (1997): p.701 and it can sometimes be seen attending mixed-species feeding flocks and moving through the bushes with many other birds.Machado (1999), Olson & Alvarenga (2006) It has been observed to squabble with a common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) in the undergrowth over food flushed by an army ant column, but this was during the dry season when fruits are scarce.de Lyra-Neves et al. (2007) |
Rufous-bellied thrush | Nesting | Nesting
It builds an open-cup nest, sometimes right on the forest floor, sometimes more than 20 meters high in a tree, but usually 4–5 meters above ground. In the yungas of NW Argentina, nesting occurred in the wet season from October to March, with most birds breeding in November–December. The three, sometimes two eggs measure about 27-28 by 20 mm, and weigh c.5.7-5.9 grams each. They are incubated for about 12–13 days, and young take about that long again until they fledge. Incubation is solely by the female, which spends considerable time on the nest. The nestlings are attended by both parents however; as the young near fledging, they are fed every 5–7 minutes or so on average. Predation may be a major cause of brood failure; in the southern Andean yungas it was noted to be especially high during the nestling time and far less significant during incubation.Auer et al. (2007) |

Standing in the Light | for | Standing in the Light is the fourth studio album released in 1983 by English jazz-funk band Level 42 on Polydor Records. The album peaked at No. 9, being the group's first top 10 showing in the UK Pop Albums Chart. Standing in the Light has also been certified Gold in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry. |
Standing in the Light | Overview | Overview
Standing in the Light was produced by Larry Dunn and Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire.
On the final track "The Machine Stops", the lyrics are inspired by E. M. Forster's 1909 science fiction story of the same name.
The album was re-released in 2000 with bonus tracks in a two-disc compilation with the album The Pursuit of Accidents in the United Kingdom by the label Polydor. |
Standing in the Light | Critical reception | Critical reception
With a 3 out of 5 star rating, William Cooper of AllMusic described Standing in the Light as "one of the most impressive offerings in Level 42's strong body of work." Jim Reid of Record Mirror exclaimed, "This Larry Dunn/Verdine White produced offering is mid-paced easy listening at its most soothing. What on the surface is pretty undemanding is on further inspection a subtly layered exercise in groove engineering." Pam Lambert of the Wall Street Journal said, "Standing in the Light, produced by two members of Earth, Wind & Fire, runs the gamut from syncopated funk to jazzlike textures. But however you categorize them, there's no mystery about Level 42's appeal." Blues & Soul also opined, "I liked this album very much and will not reduce its validity with excessive praise or multiple adjectives. I would, however, strongly recommend that you at least give it the benefit of your considered opinion." |
Standing in the Light | Singles | Singles
The first single, "Out of Sight, Out of Mind", peaked at No. 41 on the UK Singles charts. The second single, "The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up)", gave the group its first top-ten hit in the United Kingdom. The third single, "Micro-Kid", peaked at No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart. |

Emeis | Infobox album
| Emeis (; ) is a Greek album by singers Anna Vissi and Nikos Karvelas. It was released in Greece and Cyprus in 1992 by Sony Music Greece and was certified gold. It features Vissi's song Den Thelo Na Xereis. |
Emeis | Background and release | Background and release
Music and lyrics are by Nikos Karvelas. It included two duets with Anna Vissi, Emeis ("We") and Fteo ("It's my fault"), break-up themed songs reflecting aspects of their marriage, as the couple were filing for divorce at the time. The vocals on the A side of the record (tracks 2, 3, 4, 5 on CD) were performed by Anna Vissi, whereas on the B side (CD tracks 6, 7, 9, 10) by Karvelas himself, who also played instruments and produced all tracks.
The album's biggest hit, though, Den Thelo Na Xereis ("I don't want you to know"), an operatic power-ballad featuring Anna Vissi on the lead vocals, was met with acclaim, becoming one of the singer's signature songs and one of the most popular Greek songs of the 1990s.
Emeis, Fteo, Mouri, Den Thelo Na Xereis, Nai, Aksize and Mesa Sou were officially released on promotional clips at the time, airing in local TV stations. Off the seven, Emeis and Den Thelo Na Xereis were selected for digital release on Vissi's 2001 The Video Collection
In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material. |

Ontario Highway 18A | short description | King's Highway 18A, commonly referred to as Highway 18A, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The route began and ended at Highway 18, travelling along the Lake Erie shoreline and through Colchester. It was the southernmost highway to ever exist in Canada, as the only one to travel south of the 42nd parallel. Highway18A was assumed as a provincial highway in 1938. It was transferred to Essex County in 1978, and has since been known as Essex County Road50. |
Ontario Highway 18A | Route description | Route description
Highway18A was a short route that served the headland that protrudes into Lake Erie between Amherstburg and Kingsville in the southernmost part of Essex County. It began and ended at junctions with the former Highway18, now Essex County Road 20, that are approximately apart on that road. The west junction was at the community of Malden Centre, while the east junction was located on the western edge of Kingsville. The route itself was long, detouring to the south along the shore of Lake Erie and passing through Colchester. Highway18A was the southernmost highway in Canada, and the only one to travel south of the 42ndparallel. |
Ontario Highway 18A | History | History
Highway18A was first assigned during the late 1930s. Essex County council requested that the lakefront road between Malden Centre and Kingsville be taken over by the province and designated Highway18A in June 1935.
The Department of Highways (DHO), predecessor to the Ministry of Transportation, assumed the road on April13, 1938.
The gravel road was paved from Colchester to Kingsville in 1951, and from Malden Centre to Colchester in 1952.
Following recommendations presented in the Selkirk Report in June 1976, the renamed Ministry of Transportation and Communications rebuilt the road to proper standards, including bypassing several corners; the bypassed route is now Twin Gables Drive and Dolson Road. Subsequently, the entire length was transferred to Essex County effective July1, 1978. Essex County promptly resigned the route as Essex County Road50.
It is now also known as Heritage Road east of Colchester. |
