'Jackass' Star Ryan Dunn, 34, Dies in Car Crash
'Jackass' star Ryan Dunn died early Monday in a Pennsylvania car crash, police confirmed. April Margera, the mother of a fellow 'Jackass' dare devil, Bam Margera, told a local radio station and later TMZ that Dunn was killed in the car wreck that also left one other, who has yet to be identified, dead. He was 34.
"Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn," said 'Jackass' boss Johnny Knoxville in a statement. "My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan , I love you buddy."
The Morning Freak Show on 96.1 is reporting that Dunn was at the wheel when his 2007 Porsche careened over the road's guardrail and into the woods before bursting into flames. The collision occurred at roughly 3:00 AM Monday morning on Pennsylvania's Route 322.
"Ryan was a wonderful person he really was the sweetest and nicest guy -- he was like my extra son, everybody loved him," April Margera told Radar Online.
Margera has not been able to reach her son, one of Dunn's best friends, as he is currently traveling in Arizona. She also mentioned that Dunn's longtime girlfriend is not taking any calls and has turned off her phone.
A photo of the charred wreckage was posted on Twitter, apparently by the towing company. They were quickly taken down but uploaded on Flickr. The images show the extent of the fire that engulfed the vehicle.
Just hours before his death, Dunn tweeted a photo of himself and two pals -- documenting their night out, beer and cigarette in hand.
Although it has not yet been officially confirmed who was driving when it crashed or the cause of the accident, Chief Deputy Coroner David Garner told Chester County's Daily Local News that there was only one vehicle involved in the crash.
"Preliminary investigation revealed that speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident," police said in a press release. At this time, the report also categorizes the incident as an 'Auto Accident' rather than a 'DUI.'
Both bodies suffered severe burns in the wreck, and emergency responders could not immediately identify them, but police have confirmed that one of the victims was Dunn. The identity of Dunn's passenger will be revealed pending autopsy results due out later today.
In between projects with 'Jackass,' the fun-loving stuntman appeared regularly in spin-offs like 'Viva La Bam' and 'Bam's Unholy Union,' later launching his own MTV show, 'Home Wrecker' and appearing in films such as 'Haggard' and 'A Halfway House Christmas.'

TO ALL THOSE WITH NEGATIVE REMARKS: Well then no offense but then be happy surviving to a ripe old age not living but just surviving from your rocking chair living to a ripe old age when you can't wipe your own butt and your a burden to your family and a relief when you finally do die. Because that is what your philosophy dictates. For others it's not about longevity but the excitement one enjoys in life. That is living, so do not preach while all you do is survive. He had more laughs, loved by more and enjoyed his life more then someone like you could ever know much less understand. God Speed and thanks for the laughs making life that much more enjoyable Ryan.

Think before you speak. People can have fun with out being foolish and killing other ppl in the process. Even if you wanna have fun and kill yourself, be considerate enough to know not everyone may share your belief and might wanna live to a ripe old age. And don't think I'm one of those ppl cuz there's no way I wanna make it to where i'd be a burden but I don't wanna die by some idiot drunk driver either.

Whoooo, wait just a minute! I can agree with the exciting living part, but there is a huge difference between 34 years old and "rocking chair watching everybody else live life age." Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones, and may he rest in peace!

Yes, live life to the fullest - agreed. It does not have to include driving and drinking! He had many more years before he would be sitting in a rocking chair! He cheated himself out of many more years of happiness and giving happiness to others. I know many old people who are not a burden and still living life to the fullest. Some people do die pacefully in their sleep when they are old. Be careful generalizing. Also, you don't know what will happen to YOU. This was a total waste of a life and the one who died with him. Apparently whoever was driving is ultimately responsible, but the other person should never have gotten in the car who he/she knows had been drinking. Possibly the other person was so drunk that he/she couldn't make a responsible decision at the time. In any case it is so sad and could have been prevented.

More than likely the person that was with him was also partying with him. I'm not glad that 2 lives were lost. I am glad that no innocent people from other vehicles were involved. Didn't watch this celebrity or his movies. I hope he wasn't married or had children. I feel for his parents and siblings. He obviously wasn't thinking of them. A persons actions effect more than just them.

Hi again ^^. I worked to the best of my ability to solve my homework problem, but it's very hard and confusing me. I showed all of the work to the best of my knowledge, and I was hoping someone could check my work. I'm not necessarily looking for the answer as much as an explanation so that I can understand what I'm doing. Thanks for any time ^^. I appreciate it! To study circular motion, two students use a hand-held device, which consists of a rod on which a spring scale is attached. A polished glass tube attached at the top serves as a guide for a light cord attached to the spring scale. A ball of mass .200 kg is attached to the other end of the cord. One student swings the ball around at a constant speed in a horizontal circle with a radius of .5 m. Assume friction and air resistance are negligible. a) Explain how the students, by using a timer and the information given above, can determine the speed of the ball as it is revolving. v = (2πr) / T We are given the radius (.5 m) and if we have a timer, we can determine the period, or time required for the ball to travel once around the circle. By using the equation above and plugging in the values, we can determine the speed of the ball as it is revolving. b) How much work is done by the cord in one revolution? Explain how you arrived at your answer. Since the centripetal force on an object is always perpendicular to its velocity, no work is done on the object because no energy is gained or lost. c) The speed of the ball is determined to be 3.7 m/s. Assuming that the cord is horizontal as it swings, calculate the expected tension in the cord. Fc = mac = T – mg T = mac + mg T = m(v2/r) + mg T = .2 kg ((3.7m/s)2/.5 m) + .2 kg (9.8 m/s2) = 7.44 N d) The actual tension in the cord as measured by the spring scale is 5.8 N. What is the percent difference between this measured value and the tension and the value calculated in part (c)? (5.8 N / 7.44 N) x 100 = 78% 100% – 78% = 22% There is 22% difference between the actual tension and the value calculated in part (c). e) The students find that, despite their best efforts, they cannot swing the ball so that the cord remains exactly horizontal. i) On the picture of the ball below, draw vectors to represent the forces acting on the ball and identify the force that each vector represents. (The image is just a single dot). I drew tension to the left, and weight (mg) to the south. I'm wondering though, could tension be north west? ii) Explain why it is not possible for the ball to swing so that the cord remains exactly horizontal. It is not possible to swing the ball so that the cord remains exactly horizontal because the centripetal force always draws the ball to the center of the circle and will not allow it to go straight. iii) Calculate the angle that the cord makes with the horizontal. Fc = mac = 5.8 N - mgsinθ (mv2/r – 5.8 N)/(-mg) = sinθ ((.2kg ((3.7 m/s)2)/.5 m) – 5.8 N)/(-(.2kg)(9.8m/s2)) = .165 sin θ = .165 θ = 9.5 \
The ball is not accelerating/moving up or down in the example. Thus, the y-hat component of force must = 0. Thus, the y-hat component of tension must equal mg. Thus, the tension vector must be at some angle up and to the left. You are a little off here. Think about why the ball is not horizontal to start off with. Look at your force diagram. There will always downward force due to gravity. Thus, there must always be a downward force on the ball that you can't get rid of. Other than that, your problems look pretty good. Good job. *-I didn't check any of your math. But the concepts look right. Paden Roder
OK. Realize that gravity acts downward, but the centripetal acceleration is horizontal. If the cord is horizontal, its tension is the centripetal force. Furthermore, since forces are vectors you can't just add a horizontal force (T) to a vertical force (-mg); you must add components in each direction separately. Redo after correcting part c. The tension is along the cord; if the cord isn't horizontal, neither is the tension. No. The tension does two things: its horizontal component provides the centripetal force; its vertical component supports the object's weight. Since there must be a vertical component, the tension--and thus the cord--cannot be purely horizontal. Redo, correcting the earlier errors, and considering horizontal and vertical components separately. Apply Newton's 2nd law to each direction, then combine those two equations to solve for theta.
Okay, for part C I broke up the components (x and y) and added the separately. (x) F_c = ma_c = Fncos(theta) (y) F_c = 0 = Fn - mg Fn = mg And by plugging mg that I got from the y coordinates into the x, I got ma_c = mgcos(theta) And if tension equals ma_c (because if the cord is horizontal, the tension is the centripetal force - as you said) - then (.2)(9.8)cos0 = 1.96 N So the expected tension is 1.96 N Then for part d, 1.96/5.8 x 100 = 33.8% 100 - 33.8% = 66.2% Therefore, the percent difference is 66.2% for e i) I have mg going down, and the tension going southeast. I'm still a little confused on this.. I know it's along the cord, but the cord is above the radius... It's like a straight pole that extends above the radius, then a line goes SE until it meets the end of the radius... for e ii) It is not possible for the ball to swing so that the cord remains exactly horizontal because the tension acts in both horizontal and verticle components. The horizontal acounts for F_c and the verticle supports the objects weight, so the cord cannot be just horizontal (from what you said) and for e iii), I applied the directions and newtons second law and got... (x) F_c = ma_c = Tcos(theta) (same as before, but the line isn't horizontal and we dont know theta) ma_c/T = cos (theta) 2.794/5.8 = cos (theta) .096 = cos(theta) theta = 84.5* I worked on this for quite some time.. I hope it makes at least more sense or is a little bit closer to the answer..
For part c) you were told to assume the motion is horizontal. The horizontal motion is circular motion and g is not a factor in this motion. The tension is the force that is making the mass move in a circle with the stated speed of 3.7m/s.
So for part c, can the answer be as simple as F_c = T = ma_c = mv^2/r = (.2)(3.7^2)/.5 = 5.476 N? And I would calculate for d accordingly? I don't know though.. seems too easy. I'm probably missing some great detail.
If "south" represents down, then it seems that you have the cord angling down from the mass. Remember that the vertical component of the cord tension must balance the weight of the mass. Since weight acts down, the vertical component of tension must act up. Therefore the cord--and tension--must angle up and towards the axis of rotation from the mass. (It's not clear what you are calling east and west.)
I have a diagram of the mass on the cord if you want to see it .. but I dont know how to upload images on here.. From what you've said, tension must angle up and towards the axis of rotation from the mass.. so if the mass is to the right originally (though hanging from a diagonal cord that is going up northwest), then the tension might be northwest in order to keep the ball from rotating further away from the rod. And judging by the picture and my answer for part eiii, the angle looks to be about 85 degrees or so.
The tension--and thus cord--must be at a northwest angle to provide the centripetal force and balance the weight. You might want to redo that calculation. (Check your value for ma_c.) If the angle were 85 degrees, realize that the cord would be practically vertical.
e iii) Well, if the 'actual' tension is 5.8 N, I should use that in the calculation for part iii... ma_c should equal (.2)(3.7^2)/(.5) = 5.476 N And I want the angle the cord makes with the horizontal... and if the angle is that between the cord and radius.. the ball being to the right of the angle.. then. it should definitely be much less than 85.. F_c = ma_c = Tcos(theta) 5.476/5.8 = cos(theta) .944 = cos (theta) (theta) = 19.5*

by Thoreau, Henry David
Publisher:Bantam Classic & Loveswept 1994-12-01
With their call for "simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!, for self-honesty, and for harmony with nature, the writings of Henry David Thoreau are perhaps the most influential philosophical works in all American literature.
The selections in this volume represent Thoreau at his best. Included in their entirety are Walden, his indisputable masterpiece, and his two great arguments for nonconformity, Civil Disobedience and Life Without Principle. A lifetime of brilliant observation of nature--and of himself--is recorded in selections from A Week On The Concord And Merrimack Rivers, Cape Cod, The Maine Woods and The Journal.

Gao Empire
The Gao Empire precedes that of the Songhai Empire in the region of the Middle Niger. It owes its name to the town of Gao located at the eastern Niger bend. In the ninth century CE, it was considered to be the most powerful West African kingdom.
Sources on Gao history[edit]
Apart from some Arabic epitaphs on tombstones discovered in 1939 at the cemetery of Gao-Saney (6 km to the east of the city)[1] there are no surviving indigenous written records that date from before the middle of the 17th century.[2] Our knowledge of the early history of the town relies on the writings of external Arabic geographers living in Morocco, Egypt and Andalusia, who never visited the region. These authors referred to the town as Kawkaw or Kuku. The two key 17th century chronicles, the Tarikh al-Sudan and the Tarikh al-Fattash, provide information on the town at the time of the Songhai Empire but they contain only vague indications on the time before.[3] The chronicles do not, in general, acknowledge their sources.[4] Their accounts for the earlier periods are almost certainly based on oral tradition and for events before the second half of the 15th century they are likely to be less reliable. For these earlier periods the two chronicles sometimes provide conflicting information.
Pre-Islamic history of Gao[edit]
The earliest mention of Gao is by al-Khwārizmī who wrote in the first half of the 9th century.[5] In the 9th century Gao was already an important regional power. Al-Yaqubi wrote in his Tarikh in around 872:
There is the kingdom of the Kawkaw, which is the greatest of the realms of the Sūdān, the most important and most powerful. All the kingdoms obey its king. Al-Kawkaw is the name of the town. Besides this there are a number of kingdoms of which the rulers pay allegiance to him and acknowledge his sovereignty, although they are kings in their own lands.[6]
Ibn al-Faqih (writing c. 903) mentions a caravan route from Egypt to ancient Ghana via Kawkaw.[7] but Ibn Hawqal (writing c. 988) states that the old route from Egypt to the Sudan was abandoned in the reign of the Egyptian ruler Ibn Tulun (ruled 868-884) as some of the caravans were attacked by bandits while others were overwhelmed by the wind-blown sand.[8] The more direct route was replaced by one that went to Sijilmasa before heading south across the Sahara.
Early Islamic history of Gao[edit]
In the 10th century Gao was already Muslim and was described as consisting of two separate towns. Al-Muhallabi, who died in 990, wrote in a lost work quoted in the biographical dictionary compiled by Yaqut:
Their king pretends before his subject to be a Muslim and most of them pretend to be Muslims too. He has a town on the Nile [Niger], on the eastern bank, which is called Sarnāh, where there are markets and trading houses and to which there is continuous traffic from all parts. He has another town to the west of the Nile [Niger] where he and his men and those who have his confidence live. There is a mosque there where he prays but the communal prayer ground is between the two towns.[9]
The Gao Empire and the Almoravids[edit]
Two towns of Gao[edit]
The archaeological evidence suggests that there were two settlements on the eastern bank of the Niger:[10] Gao Ancien situated within the modern town, to the east of the Tomb of Askia, and the archaeological site of Gao-Saney (Sané in French) situated around 4 km to the east. The bed of the Wadi Gangaber passes to the south of the Gao-Saney occupation mound (tell) but to the north of Gao Ancien. The imported pottery and glass recovered from Gao-Saney suggest that the site was occupied between the 8th and 12th centuries.[11] It is possible that Gao-Saney corresponds to Sarnāh of al-Muhallabi.[12] Al-Bakri writing in 1068 also records the existence of two towns,[13] but al-Idrisi writing in around 1154 does not.[14] Both al-Muhallabi (see quote above) and al-Bakri[15] situate Gao on the west (or right bank) of the Niger. The 17th century Tarikh al-Fattash also states that in the 10th century Gao was situated on the Gourma side (i.e. the west bank) of the river.[16] A large sand dune, La Dune Rose, lies on the west bank opposite Gao, but at Koima, on the edge of the dune at a site 4 km north of Gao, surface deposits indicate a pre 9th century settlement. This could be the west bank Gao mentioned by 10th and 11th century authors. The site has not been excavated.[17]
Al-Sadi in his Tarikh al-Sudan gives a slightly later date for the introduction of Islam. He lists 32 rulers of the Zuwa dynasty and states that in 1009-1010 A.D. the 15th ruler, Zuwa Kusoy, was the first to convert to Islam.[18] He does not actually specify where they lived except for the legendary founder of the dynasty, Zuwa Alayman who he claims came from the Yemen to Kukiya.[19][20]
The kings of Gao-Saney and the Almoravids[edit]
The discovery of the tombstones of Gao-Saney in 1939 has provided the historians of the Gao Empire with new evidence. The three great Muslim rulers belonging the Zaghe dynasty who died successively in 1100, 1110 and 1120 can be identified with the kings of the Zuwa dynasty. The Islamization of the dynasty took therefore not place at the beginning but at the end of the eleventh century in the time of the Almoravids. The role of the Almoravids in this process has been hotly debated. Earlier the kings of Gao-Saney were considered to be off-shoots of the Almoravids (John Hunwick, 1980), but it has recently been argued that they were converted rulers of a great African dynasty, possibly originating from ancient Ghana (Dierk Lange, 2004).
Decline of the Gao Empire[edit]
Towards the end of the 13th century Gao lost its independence and became part of the expanding Mali Empire.[21] What happened to the Zuwa rulers is not recorded.[22] Ibn Battuta visited Gao in 1353 when the town formed part of the Mali Empire. He arrived by boat from Timbuktu on his return journey from visiting the capital of the Empire:
Then I travelled to the town of Kawkaw, which is a great town on the Nīl [Niger], one of the finest, biggest, and most fertile cities of the Sūdān. There is much rice there, and milk, and chickens, and fish, and the cucumber, which has no like. Its people conduct their buying and selling with cowries, like the people of Mālī.[23]
After staying a month in the town, Ibn Battuta left with a caravan for Takedda and from there headed north back across the Sahara to an oasis in Tuat with a large caravan that included 600 slave girls.
Sometime in the 14th century, Ali Kulun, the first ruler of the Sunni dynasty, rebelled against Mali hegemony, and was defeated.;[24][25] It was not until the first half of the 15th century that Sunni Sulayman Dama was able to throw off the Mali yoke. His successor, Sunni Ali Ber (1464–1492), greatly expanded the territory under Songhay control and established the Songhay Empire.

text: This is a great tip - these rides usually don't have too long of a wait and can be a great break from the sun and being on your feet. I would also add the train to this list. I LOVE the train, but I usually take my round trip when I need to get off of my feet and relax for a bit. I would not make it your first ride, as others have said you want to get the more popular rides done early.

Carol Tavris describes dissonance theory and how self-justification and self-deception often keep people from changing their minds even in the light of compelling contrary evidence, because the evidence is often dissonant with one's self-image. She details the implications of dissonance theory for the persistence of psychic charlatans and other peddlers of the paranormal, and how it may explain h…

32nd Annual Arctic Workshop
Abstracts |
Polar bears spend most of their life on the polar sea ice. At the southern edges of the arctic, populations are found on land during the period when the ice is melting or absent. The western Hudson Bay population has traditionally been without sea ice for approximately 100 days each year during which time the bears fast to conserve energy. Because of the summer fast, the birth and primary development of young polar bears requires at least 8 months of fasting by a female every two or three years. During the 1970s and 1980s the bears of western Hudson Bay were found to be the most productive known and yet they hunted for 100 days less than bears of northern populations did each year. The advantage of food quality or quantity is not justified as the diets are similar, the bears are of similar size, and the bear populations are at similar size and density. This indicates that energy conservation during the maternity period is a critical factor in the productivity of a population. Perhaps one advantage is the noted difference in den selection. While most polar bears den on the sea ice or nearby shore, western Hudson Bay bears den in frozen peat banks found in the riparian habitats south of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. The author monitored temperature conditions in an assortment of these dens during the fall/winter maternity period. In addition, dens dug in gravel and snow were monitored to examine the differences in temperature. In winter, the peat dens were the same temperature as the surrounding permafrost (-2C) while snow and gravel dens were found to be colder. The past high productivity of the western Hudson Bay population appears to be, in part, because of the use of peat dens as a reproductive strategy. |

Discovery of new Lisa Lens Several EM conductors modelled with Phase 2 followup drill targets identified Provision of critical metallurgical samples and geotechnical data for mine modelling mineral resource modelling well advanced to support the preliminary economic assessment (pea) study. The Phase 1 drilling program at Woodlawn was designed to provide data for an updated Mineral Resource estimate, as well as to test for mineralisation at shallow depth that could be suitable for early-stage exploitation for renewed mining at Woodlawn. The program also collected material for metallurgical test work and provided geotechnical data to be used in the development of a new mine plan. These results are key inputs for the PEA, which will be released in the coming weeks. A total of 20 diamond drill (DDH) holes for 7,613m and 11 reverse-circulation (RC) holes for 1,201m were drilled focusing on the Kate Lens, before drilling high-priority targets in other positions. Limited deeper drilling intersected multiple lenses in both the I and D Lens positions (a single 940m deep hole). Heron believes ample opportunities remain to expand the resource of this large mineralising system above 500m depth and further discoveries in shallow zones reduce the near-term need to drill deeper targets. This will be the focus of the Phase 2 campaign. The key lenses comprising the resource are described in greater detail below and detailed tabulation of drill hole data and assays results are provided at the end of the report. Ten of the Phase 1 DDH holes targeted the Kate Lens to follow-up the single discovery hole from 2013, and were planned on a nominal 40 x 40m intercept spacing. The modelled downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) data suggested the presence of a moderately west-dipping "plate" of conductive material, which proved to be a reliable guide to the discovery of a laterally-extensive zone of massive sulphides higher polymetallic grades were found towards the centre of the lens, which becomes copper-dominant and semi-massive towards the south, whilst to the north, the massive sulphides are off-set by the 790 Fault system. Seven of the 10 holes drilled into the Kate Lens returned significant high grade results including: 14.4m at 4.6% Zn, 4.1% Cu, 0.8% Pb, 1.0g/t Au, 57g/t Ag from 374m (WNDD0001), 8.8m at 12.6% Zn, 1.6% Cu, 7.5% Pb, 2.3g/t Au,152g/t Ag from 374m (WNDD0002), 12.3m at 20.0% Zn, 2.1% Cu, 6.1% Pb, 0.8g/t Au, 53g/t Ag from 414m (WNDD0007), 8.1m at 7.2% Zn, 1.1% Cu, 2.3% Pb, 0.9g/t Au, 28g/t Ag from 309m (WNDD0009).

Fast Break: Luke Harangody leads Celtics over Raptors
Posted By Ben Rohrbach On January 7, 2011 @ 9:57 pm In General | No Comments
Celtics [1] rookie Luke Harangody produced the first double-double of his career, totaling 17 points and 11 rebounds, as the Celtics scored a season-high in a 122-102 victory against the Raptors in Boston. The win marked the team's 3,000th career win.
Six Celtics (28-7) scored in double figures: Harangody, Paul Pierce [2] (20), Ray Allen [3] (17), Nate Robinson [4] (15), Glen Davis [5] (14) and Shaquille O'Neal [6] (12). Only Avery Bradley [7] didn't get on the board against the Raptors.
Luke Harangody dominates; yup, you read that right: Harangody played so well on Friday night that his name was actually a trending topic on Twitter in Boston. In just under four first-quarter minutes, the Celtics rookie scored eight points to help the C's race to a 34-22 lead in the opening 12 minutes.
The only person who could cool down Harangody was Doc Rivers [8]. The Notre Dame [9] product knocked down his fifth straight shot (a trey) and grabbed three of his 11 rebounds in the opening 4:15 of the second quarter. Harangody finished his best game of the season with 17 points and 11 rebounds in 26-plus minutes.
The Raptors forget to play defense: In the first half, the Celtics shot almost as well from the floor (65.9 percent) as they did from the foul line (70 percent) — scoring a season-high 67 first-half points against the Raptors. Entering the break, only Rondo (2-for-5) and Von Wafer [10] (0-for-1) failed to shoot 50 percent.
At halftime, four Celtics — Harangody, Allen, Pierce and Robinson — had already reached double figures. Combined, those four shot 16-of-20 in the opening 24 minutes. After the break, the C's cooled to a 57.5 shooting clip for the game.
Shaq & Co. share the wealth: Shaq doesn't get enough credit for his passing ability. Twice against the Raptors, he made great looks — once on an offensive board that he kicked to an open Pierce for 3 and another on a touch-pass to a waiting Davis underneath the basket.
In all, the Celtics recorded 31 assists on 46 field goals. Led by Rondo's seven dimes, eight Celtics produced multiple-assist nights.
The C's also shared the rebounding load. Harangody's 11 boards led the way, but Rondo, Pierce, Allen and Shaq all had at least four rebounds on the night. As a team, the Celtics out-rebounded the Raptors, 43-31.
Defensive activity: As bad as the Celtics beat the Raptors on Friday night, it could've been worse. Sure, the C's shot 60-plus percent from the floor, but they failed to lock it down defensively on the other end.
Toronto got a ton of open looks, leading to a 50.6 percent shooting percentage against the Celtics. Against the Raptors, that's OK. Against everybody else, that's trouble.
DeMar DeRozan is a heckuva scorer: DeRozan's youthful athleticism gave the Celtics' defense problems at times. He got into the lane at will and maneuvered around Shaq like a squirrel around a tree. The Raptors' shooting guard finished with 20 points.
DeRozan is signed with Toronto in the Atlantic Division through 2014, so the Celtics should be seeing plenty of him over the years — unless the Raptors trade him away like every other good player that goes through Canadian customs.
Fourth-quarter brain fart: What was once a 23-point lead disintegrated into a 98-86 advantage after an Andrea Bargnani dunk over Davis with nine minutes remaining in the game. Then, Allen buried a 3-pointer, Davis and Rondo made four straight free throws, and Harangody buried an 18-footer to push the lead back to 21. The Raptors never sniffed a comeback again.

Personal life[edit]
Lohan married Donata Melina Nicolette "Dina" Sullivan,[9] a former singer and dancer,[10] on November 2, 1985.[8][11][12] Dina and Michael Lohan have four children: daughters Lindsay (born 1986) and Ali (born 1993) and sons Michael Jr. (born 1987) and Dakota "Cody" Lohan (born 1996). They separated when their daughter Lindsay was three, and later reunited.[12] Dina filed for divorce in January 2005.[13][14][15] Their divorce was finalized in October 2007.[16][16][17]
On June 30, 2008, Lohan submitted a DNA sample for a paternity test after a Montana massage therapist, Kristi Kaufmann, asserted that Michael was intimately involved with her in 1995 while he was separated from Dina, and fathered her daughter, Ashley Horn.[18] A Montana court subsequently ruled that Lohan was Ashley's natural father, and his name was added to her birth certificate.[19] The paternity results were revealed during his appearance on Trisha where Lohan reunited with Kaufmann while meeting Horn for the first time.[20]
Lohan and former tabloid reporter Kate Major became engaged over Easter weekend in 2010.[1] They later broke up, but their continued relationship, which was marked by conflict, was depicted in the fifth season of the VH1 reality TV series, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,[21][22][23] which documented Lohan's rehabilitation for alcoholism, which he said began in 1982.[11][24][25] Lohan says that although he had not done cocaine in six years at this point (a "culture" to which he says he succumbed while working on Wall Street), "Drinking always led to coke. Always." He also discussed how he was affected by the verbal abuse and alcoholism of his father,[8][11] who had recently died of stomach cancer.[11]
It was also revealed on Celebrity Rehab that Lohan had been diagnosed with left main cardiac disease. Although Lohan had previously had a blockage in his right coronary artery, the blockage at his left main coronary artery, which physician Drew Pinsky believed was caused by Lohan's past cocaine use, placed Lohan at high risk for a cardiac event, and required him to avoid stress and anger.[23]
In 2011, Lohan lived in West Hollywood, California.[22] As of February 2014, Lohan lives in Boca Raton, Florida,[26][27] with his girlfriend Kathryn "Kate" Major and their son, Landon Major Lohan, born January 30, 2013.[28] Prior to moving to Boca Raton, he lived in Fort Lauderdale and at the Tahitian Inn in Tampa.[27][29]
Legal issues[edit]
In 1990, Lohan was investigated for insider trading and convicted of criminal contempt of court. He was sentenced to three years in jail in Nassau County, and was released in 1993 on five years probation.[8] During this time, his daughter Lindsay had started modeling for the Ford Models agency and was starring in commercials,[30][31] and by the time of his release in 1993, she was at the pinnacle of her career.[11]
In 1997, Lohan was arrested when he violated his probation after flying to Napa, California to visit his daughter Lindsay, who had been hospitalized for an asthma attack that occurred during filming of a movie. He subsequently served a year in prison.[8]
After Lindsay became a movie star, tensions arose in the family, due to Lohan's belief that Lindsay's career should be managed by professionals, and not the members of Dina's family that have been characterized as "hangers-on". This conflict came to a head when Dina's youngest brother, Matt Sullivan, got into a fistfight outside Michael's Long Island home, during a May 23, 2004 first communion party for their son Dakota. Though he maintained that Sullivan was responsible for the fight, Lohan was charged with attempted assault and, while awaiting sentencing, was involved in a car accident that led to his being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. While in prison, he took up singing and songwriting, as well as correspondence courses for Teen Challenge, a faith-based sobriety program.[8][12][32] Michael and Dina Lohan separated again later that year.[16][17] Lohan was later arrested on June 29 after allegedly leaving a Long Island hotel where he had rented several suites without paying his $3,800 bill, and faced assault charges in Manhattan for allegedly swearing at a sanitation worker and punching the worker in the face after the worker's truck blocked his car. On January 19, 2005, Dina's spokesperson confirmed that she had filed for divorce.[32]
Lohan was released from prison in March 2007 after serving a two-and-a-half-year sentence in the Collins Correctional Facility.[33] He subsequently took up residence in a Teen Challenge center in West Babylon, New York, and underwent training to become a minister, though to be ordained requires his parole to end.[8]
He subsequently worked as an actor and counselor with the Long Island Teen Challenge rehabilitation program.[33] He has also been involved in various television proposals, including the Michael Lohan Reality Project, a 2007 series produced by Frozen Pictures, which followed his life, work and efforts to reconnect with his daughter and family.[34]
On October 25, 2011, Lohan was arrested in a suspected domestic violence incident in Tampa, Florida, involving his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Kate Major. Lohan was released from custody on $5,000 bail and ordered to have no further contact with Major. 12 hours later on October 27, 2011 he was again back in police custody, after contacting Major again by phone. Unbeknownst to Lohan, when he called Major a second time that evening, police were listening in on speaker phone. Police then went to Lohan's hotel to arrest him. When Lohan saw the police arrive, he attempted to escape by jumping out of his third-story room window. Upon jumping, Lohan fell into a tree and injured his foot. He was taken into custody and was being held to appear before a judge for violating the restraining order placed on him the day before.[35][36][37][38] After being subsequently released from a Tampa hospital October 28, and taken to Falkenburg Road Jail, the wheelchair-bound Lohan was denied bail during an October 29 court appearance by Judge Denise Pomponio for violating a domestic violence injunction against him and his pretrial release order not to contact Major. Lohan and his attorney stated that he was merely returning a call by Major, but Major, who was present, stated that this was false.[39][40]

Maybe this explains why a lot of the good gear is just not available much if at all. I've searched eBay Worldwide for the Rollei SL and there were just 3 for sale. I know these are were not popular in the USA, but I thought I could still scare up a few items.
I had an urge to buy a Leica R3 or R4 last week - I didn't do it because there was not a body & 50mm lens available from Craigslist local or my normal online stores.

Help Project newsletter : Issue 4[edit]
The Help Project Newsletter Issue IV - September 2012 |
Hi, and welcome to the fourth issue of the Help Project newsletter. It's been another busy month in the world of Wikipedia help. The results from the in-person usability tests conducted as part of the help pages fellowship have been released. There are no great surprises here, the tests confirmed that people have trouble with the existing help system, and people looking for help on the same topic often end up at wildly different pages. Editors who experienced a tutorial and/or edited a sandbox as part of their learning were noticeably more confident when editing a real article. Drawing on that, three new "Introduction to" tutorials for new users have been created: referencing, uploading images and navigating Wikipedia. These join the popular existing introductions to policies and guidelines and talk pages. Feel free to edit them, but please do remember that the idea is to keep them simple and as free from extraneous details as possible. All three have been added to Help:Getting started, which is intended to be the new focal point for new editors, and will also be seeing a redesign soon. In other news, the Article Feedback Tool (AFT) can now be used to collect feedback on help pages. By default it has been deployed to all pages in the Help: namespace. It can be disabled on any page by adding Category:Article Feedback Blacklist, or enabled for pages in other namespaces by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 Additional Articles. Once a page has AFT applied, you can add feedback using the form which appears at the bottom of it. Feedback can be reviewed by clicking "View feedback" in the sidebar, or the "Feedback from my watched pages" link at the top of your watchlist. I'm now entering the final month of my fellowship, and will be focusing my efforts on making much needed improvements to Help:Contents, the main entrance point to our help system. It's been a pleasure working as a fellow, and I just want to thank all the people who have helped me or offered advice over the past months. That definitely won't be the end of my involvement in the Help Project though, I'll be sticking around as a volunteer and continuing to write this newsletter. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |

Help Project newsletter : Issue 5[edit]
The Help Project Newsletter Issue V - January 2013 |
Hello again from the Help Project! In the last newsletter (which was quite a while ago sorry!) I talked about my fellowship and the plans for improving the main portal page, Help:Contents. Well I'm sad to say that my fellowship is now over, but very happy to say that the proposed improvements to that page have been completed and implemented. Do check it out if you haven't already. Another important and frequently used help page, Wikipedia:Contact us, has also seen a significant revamp. You may recognise the design inspiration from the new tutorial pages. In project news, we now have a subscription to the "article alerts" service. Any deletion nominations, move discussions, or requests for comments on pages within the Help Project's scope will now show up at Wikipedia:Help Project/Article alerts. So that's definitely a page which project members might want to watch. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |
WikiProject:REHAB update[edit]
You signed up for WikiProject User Rehab
Hi there, I'm RDN1F. It's come to my attention that you've signed up for WikiProject Rehab, but since that time the project has retired. I've decided to take it upon myself to rejuvenate the project - but I could do with your help. If you are still willing to help mentor (or even give me a hand in bringing this project back!) leave a message on my talk page

Help Project newsletter : Issue 6[edit]
The Help Project Newsletter |
Issue VI - April 2013 |
Open Help Conference The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation. It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help. There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on. |

Hey there SmokeyJoe, I should have introduced myself at one of the many places I've seen where I've completely agreed with some of your very astute observations, but... Anyway, I just noticed your reply, but I'm headed offline for the night. I'll think on this and get back to you sometime later tomorrow. Cheers, — Ched : ? 02:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- It's always nice to receive friendly nIt's always nice to receive friendly notes like this, thank you. otes like this, thank you. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:50, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay, but ran into a few real-life things that were more time consuming than I had planned on. OK, here's my thinking right now. First the article: - I just reviewed what was there, and it really did need to be deleted. It failed in soooo many ways. As for the draft, to be honest, I'd feel more comfortable if it were in user space with the "noinclude" tags, but since I'm not really sure of the differences in that aspect - meh, I'll settle for it as is for a bit. Cunard is a very good writer, and I think well respected editor here, so I'm content to give him the leeway to work on it. He's actually done a very good job on the draft in removing a lot of the "undue" stuff, adding content and context, and expanding the article. Although I am still hesitant to claim it would pass WP:N or specifically the WP:NPOL issues, the article is headed in the right direction. I'm not really a deletionist, and perhaps Kirby has other points to his BLP which merit mention. I still feel that the subject matter is nothing but trouble waiting to happen, but since these "Internet" stories often fade quickly, maybe I'm concerned over nothing major. If Kirby does move up the political food-chain, I'd hate to loose Cunard's early work in the history of the article too.
- (more babble from Ched to follow:) I generally avoid political things on wiki, but I do try catch things regarding BLP stuff. It's often a tough call here. Many things are kept that shouldn't be, and many things are lost that shouldn't be. Personally I feel things often lean a certain (political) way on wiki - but I'm only one voice of many.
- Regarding the "pre-emptive" admin. stuff, I'm pretty set in my thoughts on that, as I suspect you are on yours. I've been an admin. for a while now, and I always prefer to see fires put out early. It's not a matter of trying to silence anyone from voicing their views, but rather the effort to prevent further discord here. In the end, I will fully support the actions that have already been taken, and will watchlist both the (now deleted) article and the draft as well. Anyway SmokeyJoe - nice to meet you, keep up the good work. Cheers. — Ched : ? 02:11, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Ched (talk · contribs).
Cunard is a very good writer, and I think well respected editor here, so I'm content to give him the leeway to work on it. – thank you for the kind words. I don't plan to make significant additions or changes to the draft at this time. I think it is policy compliant and ready for mainspace.
I still feel that the subject matter is nothing but trouble waiting to happen – there should be no trouble. As I wrote here, "If, as 28bytes notes, people want to 'make an example of him for his ill-considered remarks' in the article itself, the editors can be blocked and the article can be semi-protected or full-protected as necessary." This would be supported by Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Page protection, blocks and the Arbitration Committee remedy WP:NEWBLPBAN.
Although I am still hesitant to claim it would pass WP:N or specifically the WP:NPOL issues, the article is headed in the right direction. – whether the subject passes WP:N or WP:NPOL should be discussed at AfD. I would argue that the subject passes both WP:N and WP:NPOL. As I wrote at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 January 8#Kirby Delauter:
The subject has received coverage in three aspects of his life: (1) as president of the construction company W.F. Delauter & Son, (2) as a member of Frederick Board of County Commissioners, and (3) as a member of the Frederick County Council.
WP:BLP1E's first point says the policy applies "[i]f reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event." Delauter has received significant coverage prior to this event; here is a small sample:
- "Setting boundaries in Frederick". The Baltimore Sun. 2012-05-14. Archived from the original on 2015-01-11. Retrieved 2015-01-11.
- Greenfield, Sherry (2010-10-21). "Delauter says he will bid on county contracts if elected commissioner". The Gazette. Retrieved 2015-01-11.
- Marshall, Ryan (2012-05-23). "Delauter defends comment on moving business". The Gazette. Archived from the original on 2015-01-11. Retrieved 2015-01-11.
- Greenfield, Sherry (2010-07-29). "Delauter wants to bring changes to county board". The Gazette. Archived from the original on 2015-01-11. Retrieved 2015-01-11.
- Rodgers, Bethany (2014-12-26). "Political Notes: Delauter says he reimbursed county for inauguration". Frederick News-Post. Archived from the original on 2015-01-11. Retrieved 2015-01-11.
- Gill, Thomas (2014-10-28). "It pays to be a county commissioner". Frederick News-Post. Archived from the original on 2015-01-11. Retrieved 2015-01-11.
Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".

Purpose – The objective of this paper is to report a case study investigating how organizational identity evolves during institutional change within a UK building society. Design/methodology/approach – The paper employs an inductive case study, which is appropriate for examining such change processes. It builds on grounded theory, considered appropriate for such an explanatory research. Findings – The paper finds that: institutional change, especially regulation and practice changes, serves as the trigger to increasing salience of identity issues, i.e. identity ambiguity, legitimacy crisis and perceived identity obsolescence; leadership, organizational culture and strategic exercises are salient apparatuses to tackle identity problems caused by external pressure; and a new identity is formed as a result of the managerial interventions, characterised by the rediscovery of historical roots, modernization and dualism. Research limitations/implications – The paper provides an account of identity change, given a broader business environment change context within which the organization operates. Utilizing qualitative study of one case may be taken as a limitation. Originality/value – The theoretical contribution reflected in the findings has implications for the interfaces between identity and institutional environment and organizational culture.

Up to a few years ago, cluster headache (CH) was not thought to be an inherited disorder. However, several recent studies have suggested that genetic factors play a role in the disease. Genetic epidemiological surveys have shown that first–degree relatives of CH patients are more likely to have CH than the general population. CH has been reported in some concordant monozygotic twin pairs. At present, the type and the number of genes involved in the disease are still unclear. No mutation in the CACNA1A and NOS genes was found in CH patients. Recently, we have reported a significant association between the HCRTR2 gene and the disease. The purpose of this review is to describe recent advances in the genetics of CH.

On my end he wouldn't find anything. For him I can't be sure. We've had issues before, not with physical cheating but I've found things on his phone before.

Yes, we would. It's a mutual agreement between the two of ust though that I don't go on his phone and he doesn't go on mine. Would I want him to see all I post on here or my e-mail? Nope. Would he want me to read through his browser history? I doubt it. I wouldn't even like him reading personal conversations between me and my best friend.
It's not having anything to hide, it's just keeping some stuff personal.

Of course. Nothing is locked on either of our phones.

Good-Bye, Sheena
Posted on November 6, 2008 | No CommentsSheena! You and I had our differences, but you know I love you, girl. So sad to watch you leave America's Next Top Model. The cards were stacked against her from the start, when the girls had to pose in the windows of prostitution houses. […] -

Asian American Dolls?
Posted on October 8, 2008 | No CommentsCongratulations to Troy Dolendo and the rest of Mosaic for winning MTV's Top Pop Group. The show came to a strangely abrupt end just three weeks after its premiere, cutting its six remaining groups down to one. Ju-Taun was the other group in the top […] -
Tastelessly Ambiguous
Posted on October 2, 2008 | No CommentsAfter weeks of being shown as a weak contestant, Shazia finally got cut from Top Design. Throughout the episode she bickered with teammates, one of whom dubbed her "Needy von McNeederson" for her argumentative attempts to get attention for her (ultimately destructive) design ideas. There […] -
Confident, Tropical Rococo
Posted on September 25, 2008 | No CommentsOh, Wisit. Not your best week on Top Design. Could you have said "rococo" any more—or been more wrong in using it? We sympathize that Jeffrey Sebelia is just as difficult as on Project Runway; still, he wanted "sleek and modern," and you were hung […] -
