Talk:Naperville Central

The "FLAT WING" is an ADDITION. The "THREE STORY WING" or whatever they're calling it these days, is the 1950s building, the old Naperville Community High School. The Dedication plaque was STILL THERE in the early 1990s.

Signed, a 1993 graduate.

The "three story wing" still is called the same today (December, 2004). And the school has had several different names! When the alumni web team put together the database we left one of the names out and it caused confusion for some of our older graduates! So, yes, NCHS has been known as: Naperville Community High School, Naperville High School, and Naperville Central High School. The dedication plaque for the original building has never been moved or changed. We now have a couple more in addition to that original one from 1952.

It may be of interest to some that we also have several "temporary" or "portable" additions to our building to house the extra 305+ students we have now. There are six classrooms in a "portable" sitting at the rear of the current structure (in the "courtyard" of the three story wing") sort of in the middle of a parking area looking down towards the football field). The additional two classrooms are in the grassy area just off the "flat wing" near Aurora Ave.  After so many additions to the building it was assumed we would not need to house more than 2700 students.  However, we keep growing!

I hope this helps with some of the concerns about our school. It is a great place to work and learn! Signed, Jane Sharka, NCHS Librarian

Henry Hub

The Henry Hub is a distribution hub on the natural gas pipeline system in Erath, Louisiana, owned by Sabine Pipe Line LLC, a subsidiary of EnLink Midstream Partners LP who purchased the asset from Chevron Corporation in 2014. Due to its importance, it lends its name to the pricing point for natural gas futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and the OTC swaps traded on Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

It interconnects with nine interstate and four intrastate pipelines: Acadian, Columbia Gulf Transmission, Gulf South Pipeline, Bridgeline, NGPL, Sea Robin, Southern Natural Pipeline, Texas Gas Transmission, Transcontinental Pipeline, Trunkline Pipeline, Jefferson Island, and Sabine. The two compressor stations can compress 520,000 decatherm/d (6.3 GW). The transportation capacity is 1.8 billion ft3/d (bcf) (590 m3/s) (20.4 GW).

Spot and future natural gas prices set at Henry Hub are denominated in US$ per millions of British thermal units and are generally seen to be the primary price set for the North American natural gas market. North American unregulated wellhead prices are closely correlated to those set at Henry Hub.

History
The "Henry" hub is so named for its location in the Henry hamlet of Erath, which was named after the Henry High School that stood there until damaged by the flooding and storm surge from Hurricanes Ike (2008) and Rita (2005), though the natural gas facilities suffered minimal damage.

This school was named for its benefactor, William Henry, who originally immigrated from Germany as Ludwig Wilhelm Kattentidt circa 1840, and replaced his surname with Henry, taken from his father's middle name 'Heinrich'. There are Henry descendants in the area to this day. It was customary for benefactors to sponsor schools; there were other similarly sponsored schools in Vermilion Parish around that time.

Henry Hub began operations during the early 1950s when Stone and Webster, Inc. built the original facility with unionized labor for The Texas Company (Texaco). The facility was staffed by the International Union of Operating Engineers. In the 1960s, the Texas Company built and operated an adjoining facility, Sea Robin Plant, without utilizing union labor based on right-to-work laws implemented in Louisiana. By the 2000s, all of the unionized labor were replaced by contract laborers when Texaco and Chevron merged in October 2000.

NYMEX began offering standardized natural gas contracts with delivery at the Henry Hub in April 1990.

In 2011, the Henry Hub was the site of a land dispute, in which Sabine sued to condemn land near the site of their hub, and expropriate it from the Broussard family, who had owned it for generations, arguing that it was acting in the national interest. The lawsuit was settled in 2012, and in 2013 a second, older, lawsuit was settled with Texaco (like Sabine, a Chevron company) for contamination of Broussard land which Texaco had leased for many decades.

Hana to Yume

Hana to Yume (花とゆめ), also known as HanaYume (花ゆめ), is a semi-monthly Japanese shōjo manga magazine published by Hakusensha on the 5th and 20th of every month. The magazine is B5-size, and always comes with furoku or free supplements, such as drama CDs, pencil boards (shitajiki), manga anthologies, stationery, and calendars. Hana to Yume was ranked 4th by Japanese girls as their favourite manga anthology in a survey conducted by Oricon in 2006.

Hana to Yume also has several other magazines under its name, such as The Hana to Yume, Bessatsu Hana to Yume, Shōnen Hana to Yume, and Trifle by Hana to Yume.

About
Any series which are serialized in Hana to Yume will be collected into tankōbon under the imprint, Hana to Yume Comics (花とゆめコミックス). While series from related magazines like Bessatsu Hana to Yume, LaLa, LaLa DX, and Melody are also published under the same imprint, certain series from Melody are published under a different imprint, Jets Comics (ジェッツコミックス).

The readers have been 95% female. Its demographic consists of 4% of readers under 13, 62.2% for 13–18 years old, 18.6% for 19–23 years old, and those who are 24 and older comprising the remaining 15.2%.

History
Hana to Yume began its publication as a monthly magazine in May 1974, with Kazuko Koyeno's illustration as the cover, with the price of 200 yen. However, in January 1975, its publication was changed from a monthly to a semi-monthly published magazine. The recent price has been 370 yen.

In 1976, two years after Hana to Yume was first published, LaLa (previously known as Hana to Yume LaLa) was created as a sister magazine to Hana to Yume. It later became its own independent magazine with a sister magazine of its own, LaLa DX.

In 2009, the magazine celebrated its 35th anniversary and collaborated with Yahoo! Japan Comic, which digitally distributes the magazine's serialized manga. Glass Mask by Suzue Miuchi and Hanazakari no Kimitachi e by Hisaya Nakajō are among the 235 titles available to be read online. To commemorate the magazine's anniversary, there was an internet radio broadcast streaming at Yahoo! Japan for an hour and a half. Suzue Miuchi was the guest in the second episode of the radio show, broadcast on May 4, 2009.

In 2020, it was announced that various issues will be delayed or combined due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hana to Yume Guide Book
Hana to Yume Guide Book (花とゆめ GUIDE BOOK) was published and released together with a set of embossed stickers in issue No. 1 of the magazine in 2002 as a furoku to commemorate the magazine's 35th anniversary.

The book contains summaries of titles serialized in the magazine since its inception to April 2009. It also has well-wishing messages from 22 manga artists, among of them are Noriko Sasaki, Natsuki Takaya, Marimo Ragawa, Saki Hiwatari, Suzue Miuchi, Hisaya Nakajo, and Nanpei Yamada who have been serializing their work in the magazine. There is also a special quiz and section containing a history of the magazine together with a chronology of domestic topics since the publication of their magazine.

Circulation numbers
In 2004, Hana to Yume had a circulation of 300,416 copies. In the following year, sales figures dropped to 295,208. In 2006, the sales of Hana to Yume were higher at 289,375 copies, while its competitor, Sho-Comi, had only 260,218 copies. As in 2009, sales declined to 226,542 copies.

'Prediction market failure' removal
I removed the "Evidence of prediction market failure" section you added to the Prediction market article in accordance with the No original research policy. Moreover, I think your analysis confuses accuracy and precision. Benstrider 19:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Please allow me to apologize for my rudeness. My actions were brash, and I thank you for reminding me of my manners with far more courtesy than I extended to you.

Also, you did indeed addressed the issue of uncertainty. I suggested otherwise far too flippantly and without taking the time to carefully read what you had written.

As for the content of your text, I agree that two markets predicting the same event should, under ideal circumstances, reach the same prediction. I also agree that both this reasoning and the numbers you provide from Intrade and IEM are plain enough not to need citations. Indeed, you raise a valid point and I would support including this information in the "Theoretical challenges" section. Where I feel your analysis went too far is the way in which it seemed to suggest that discrepancies between two specific markets demonstrate a flaw in the underlying theory. Although you identified other sources of error such as insufficient liquidity and market manipulation, your analysis seemed to reach this conclusion, especially considering the section title: "Evidence of prediction market failure". I feel this conclusion is not sufficiently supported by the data provided and ventures into argument, which is why I identified it as original research.

Again, I apologize for my rudeness and recognize that you were acting in good faith. If you still feel I have misjudged the text or have other concerns, I politely suggest we continue this discussion on the article Talk page. Benstrider 03:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Philly Sound Clash requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Myeloid sarcoma

A myeloid sarcoma (chloroma, granulocytic sarcoma, extramedullary myeloid tumor) is a solid tumor composed of immature white blood cells called myeloblasts. A chloroma is an extramedullary manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia; in other words, it is a solid collection of leukemic cells occurring outside of the bone marrow.

In acute leukemia
Chloromas are rare; exact estimates of their prevalence are lacking, but they are uncommonly seen even by physicians specializing in the treatment of leukemia. Chloromas may be somewhat more common in patients with the following disease features:
 * French–American–British (FAB) classification class M2
 * WHO Classification (2016 revision) is a separate entity under the "Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and related neoplasms"
 * those with specific cytogenetic abnormalities (e.g. t(8;21) or inv(16))
 * those whose myeloblasts express T-cell surface markers, CD13, or CD14
 * those with high peripheral white blood cell counts

However, even in patients with the above risk factors, chloroma remains an uncommon complication of acute myeloid leukemia.

Rarely, a chloroma can develop as the sole manifestation of relapse after apparently successful treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. In keeping with the general behavior of chloromas, such an event must be regarded as an early herald of a systemic relapse, rather than as a localized process. In one review of 24 patients who developed isolated chloromas after treatment for acute myeloid leukemia, the mean interval until bone marrow relapse was 7 months (range, 1 to 19 months).

In myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic syndromes
Chloromas may occur in patients with a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myeloproliferative syndromes (MPS) (e.g. chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytosis, or myelofibrosis). The detection of a chloroma is considered de facto evidence these premalignant conditions have transformed into an acute leukemia requiring appropriate treatment. For example, presence of a chloroma is sufficient to indicate chronic myelogenous leukemia has entered its 'blast crisis' phase.

In eosinophilic leukemia
At least one case of FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene-induced eosinophilic leukemia presenting with myeloid sarcoma and eosinophilia has been reported. This form of myeloid sarcoma is distinguished by its highly successful treatment with imatinib (the recommended treatment for FIP1L1-PDGRGA fusion gene-induced eosinophilic leukemia) rather than more aggressive and toxic therapy.

Primary chloroma
Very rarely, chloroma can occur without a known pre-existing or concomitant diagnosis of acute leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia or MDS/MPS; this is known as primary chloroma. Diagnosis is particularly challenging in this situation (see below). In almost all reported cases of primary chloroma, acute leukemia has developed shortly afterward (median time to development of acute leukemia 7 months, range 1–25 months). Therefore, primary chloroma could be considered an initial manifestation of acute leukemia, rather than a localized process, and could be treated as such. Where disease development or markers indicate progresses to acute promyleocytic leukemia (AML3) treatment should be tailored to this form of disease.

Location and symptoms
Chloromas may occur in virtually any organ or tissue. The most common areas of involvement are the skin (also known as leukemia cutis) and the gums. Skin involvement typically appears as violaceous, raised, nontender plaques or nodules, which on biopsy are found to be infiltrated with myeloblasts Note that leukemia cutis differs from Sweet's syndrome, in which the skin is infiltrated by mature neutrophils in a paraneoplastic process. Gum involvement (gingival hypertrophy) leads to swollen, sometimes painful gums which bleed easily with tooth brushing and other minor trauma.

Other tissues which can be involved include lymph nodes, the small intestine, the mediastinum, the lung, epidural sites, the uterus, the ovaries, and the orbit of the eye. Symptoms of chloroma at these sites are related to their anatomic location; chloromas may also be asymptomatic and be discovered incidentally in the course of evaluation of a person with acute myeloid leukemia.

Central nervous system involvement, as described above, most often takes the form of meningeal leukemia, or invasion of the subarachnoid space by leukemic cells. This condition is usually considered separately from chloroma, as it requires different treatment modalities. True chloromas (i.e. solid leukemic tumors) of the central nervous system are exceedingly rare, but have been described.

Diagnosis
Definitive diagnosis of a chloroma usually requires a biopsy of the lesion in question. Historically, even with a tissue biopsy, pathologic misdiagnosis was an important problem, particularly in patients without a clear pre-existing diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia to guide the pathologist. In one published series on chloroma, the authors stated that 47% of the patients were initially misdiagnosed, most often as having a malignant lymphoma.

However, with advances in diagnostic techniques, the diagnosis of chloromas can be made more reliable. Traweek et al. described the use of a commercially available panel of monoclonal antibodies, against myeloperoxidase, CD68, CD43, and CD20, to accurately diagnose chloroma via immunohistochemistry and differentiate it from lymphoma. Nowadays, immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal antibodies against CD33 and CD117 would be the mainstay of diagnosis. The increasingly refined use of flow cytometry has also facilitated more accurate diagnosis of these lesions.

Prognostic significance
Evidence is conflicting on the prognostic significance of chloromas in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. In general, they are felt to augur a poorer prognosis, with a poorer response to treatment and worse survival; however, others have reported chloromas associate, as a biologic marker, with other poor prognostic factors, and therefore do not have independent prognostic significance. In case of primary isolated choloroma, prognosis is better

Treatment
As described above, chloromas should always be considered manifestations of systemic disease, rather than isolated local phenomena, and treated as such. In the patient with newly diagnosed leukemia and an associated chloroma, systemic chemotherapy against the leukemia is typically used as the first-line treatment, unless an indication for local treatment of the chloroma (e.g. compromise of the spinal cord) emerges. Chloromas are typically quite sensitive to standard antileukemic chemotherapy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be considered in fit patients with suitable available donor, as long term remissions have been reported.

If the chloroma is persistent after completion of induction chemotherapy, local treatment, such as surgery or radiation therapy, may be considered, although neither has an effect on survival.

Patients presenting with a primary chloroma typically receive systemic chemotherapy, as development of acute leukemia is nearly universal in the short term after detection of the chloroma.

Patients treated for acute leukemia who relapse with an isolated chloroma are typically treated with systemic therapy for relapsed leukemia. However, as with any relapsed leukemia, outcomes are unfortunately poor.

Patients with "preleukemic" conditions, such as myelodysplastic syndromes or myeloproliferative syndromes, who develop a chloroma are often treated as if they have transformed to acute leukemia.

History
The condition now known as chloroma was first described by the British physician A. Burns in 1811, although the term chloroma did not appear until 1853. This name is derived from the Greek word chloros (green), as these tumors often have a green tint due to the presence of myeloperoxidase. The link between chloroma and acute leukemia was first recognized in 1902 by Dock and Warthin. However, because up to 30% of these tumors can be white, gray, or brown rather than green, the more correct term granulocytic sarcoma was proposed by Rappaport in 1967 and has since become virtually synonymous with the term chloroma.

Currently, any extramedullary manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia can be termed a granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma. Specific terms which overlap with granulocytic sarcoma include:
 * Leukemia cutis, describing infiltration of the dermis (skin) by leukemic cells, which is also referred to as cutaneous granulocytic sarcoma.
 * Meningeal leukemia, or invasion of the subarachnoid space by leukemic cells, is usually considered distinct from chloroma, although very rarely occurring solid central nervous system tumors composed of leukemic cells can be termed chloromas.

In recent years, the term "myeloid sarcoma" has been favored.

Ecosystem valuation

Ecosystem valuation is an economic process which assigns a value (either monetary, biophysical, or other) to an ecosystem and/or its ecosystem services. By quantifying, for example, the human welfare benefits of a forest to reduce flooding and erosion while sequestering carbon, providing habitat for endangered species, and absorbing harmful chemicals, such monetization ideally provides a tool for policy-makers and conservationists to evaluate management impacts and compare a cost-benefit analysis of potential policies. However, such valuations are estimates, and involve the inherent quantitative uncertainty and philosophical debate of evaluating a range non-market costs and benefits.

History
Cost-benefit analyses and the generation of market value have existed within the economic literature for centuries. However, in 1997, Robert Costanza, Distinguished University Professor of sustainability at Portland State University, Oregon, was the first to estimate the worldwide worth of ecosystem services—bringing new attention to the field of ecosystem valuation. He and his colleagues calculated that such services were worth $33 trillion annually ($44 trillion present dollars).

Despite Costanza's fanfare, the World Bank, three decades later, that "the benefits provided by natural ecosystems are both widely recognized and poorly understood.”

Citing the importance of such knowledge to informed policy-making, in 2007, Environmental Ministers from the G8 + 5 nations agreed to both publicly call for and begin to undertake the calculation of global ecosystem benefits, conservation costs, and the opportunity costs of developing such ecosystems. The resulting watershed initiative and ongoing project is The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB).

In the United States, the President's Council on Science and Technology suggested in 2011 that the “U.S. government should institute and fund a Quadrennial Ecosystems Services Trends (QuEST) Assessment” that studying trends in ecosystem performance, quality, and value.

Economic Models: Values, Costs, and Value Methodology
Ecosystem valuation attempts to capture the range of benefits and costs contained within a complicated natural web with a range of economic methodologies.

Ecological systems provide four general categories of services: provisioning (e.g. fish to eat, timber to sell), regulatory, supporting, and cultural (e.g. ecosystems supporting indigenous gathering techniques, or supplies for traditional clothing). See Figure 1. for a mangrove-specific example of this complex subject.

These four types of services can then provide two basic categories of value: the use and non-use categories. Environmental economists have further separated categorizes for which individuals are willing to pay: Given these types of potential ecological values, economists utilize a variety of methods to calculate those market values and measure non-market values. Standard environmental economic methods are used to place a monetary value on ecosystem services where there are no market prices. These include "stated preference" methods and "revealed preference" methods. Stated preference methods, such as the contingent valuation method ask people for their willingness to pay for a certain ecosystem (service). Revealed preference methods, such as hedonic pricing and the travel cost method, use a relation with a market good or service to estimate the willingness-to-pay for the service. Applying such preference based approaches has been criticized as a means of deriving the value of ecosystems and biodiversity and for avoiding deliberation, justification and judgment in making choices. The monetary value society attaches to ecosystem services depends on the income distribution. It is argued that ecosystem valuations must steadily increase over time, in line with rising global income as well as increasing scarcity of functioning ecosystems.
 * Direct-use value.
 * The simplest form of ecosystem valuation for orthodox environmental economists, this translates the direct ecological yield as it would be on commodity markets: e.g. the value of water, timber, fish, or other commodities if immediately developed and sold at market price.Thus, an exchange value or 'price' is associated with the objects of value, regarded as natural capital, associated with ecosystems and this may be based on the ability of a system to produce yields each year that are exchangeable in operating markets and have existing exchange prices.
 * Indirect use value attributed to indirect utilization of ecosystem services, through the positive externalities that ecosystems provide.
 * The World Bank explains that these values are "derived from ecosystem services that provide benefits outside the ecosystem itself. Examples include natural water filtration which often benefits people far downstream, the storm protection function of mangrove forests which benefits coastal properties and infrastructure, and carbon sequestration which benefits the entire global community by abating climate change."
 * Option value attributed to preserving the option to utilize ecosystem services in the future.
 * Existence value attributed to the pure existence of an ecosystem.
 * Altruistic value based on the welfare the ecosystem may give other people.
 * Bequest value based on the welfare the ecosystem may give future generations.

Valuation Results
While the literature is still emerging, many important studies have resulting in striking valuations.

One academic paper by de Groot et al., which synthesized more than 300 scholarly works collectively evaluating the 10 main biomes, "shows that the total value of ecosystem services is considerable and ranges between 490 int$/year for the total bundle of ecosystem services that can potentially be provided by an ‘average’ hectare of open oceans to almost 350,000 int$/year for the potential services of an ‘average’ hectare of coral reefs." This potential benefit can take many forms depending on the degree of exploitation and such exploitation's sustainability, but can result, for example, in large ecotourist revenues for local communities, protection from storm destruction, or profit for an international lumber company.

Furthermore, de Groot et al. find that most of their paper's calculated value is "outside the market and best considered as non-tradable public benefits. The continued over-exploitation of ecosystems thus comes at the expense of the livelihood of the poor and future generations."

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), in one of its first large, cumulative reports, also found that ecosystem services start at roughly $100/hectare/year for open ocean, and top off to more than $1,000,000/hectare/year for the most lucrative coral reefs.

Beyond biome "price tags," these environmental valuations can explore quite complex policy questions. For example, the Copenhagen Consensus think tank calculated that stemming the loss of coral reefs by 50 percent by 2030 would return more than $24 for every dollar spent. The Consensus' founder, Bjorn Lomborg, explains that "coral reefs, which both act as fishery hatcheries and fishing resources while storing abundant numbers of species. At the same time, coral reefs possess an amazing beauty, which both shows up in large tourism revenues but also in most individuals saying they are willing to pay a certain amount to make sure they continue to exist for our grand children. … [Programs to preserve 50% more coral reef by 2030] cost about $3 billion per year but the total benefits likely run to at least $72, or about $24 dollars back for every dollar invested."

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) manages the Integrated Valuation Environmental Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) Natural Capital Project. This open-source tool—although geared towards policy-makers, advocates, and scientists—allows anyone to interact with a map quantifying "trade-offs between alternative management choices" and identifying "areas where investment in natural capital can enhance human development and conservation.”

As another example, the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) hosts the Artificial Intelligence for Environment & Sustainability (ARIES) Project. This open-source software was designed to integrate scientific models for environmental sustainability assessment and policy-making, with an initial focus on ecosystem services

Payment for Environmental Services (PES)
After (and, sometimes, before) evaluating the ecosystem costs and benefits, some programs have attempted to internalize those values with specific programs providing payments for environmental services. Costa Rica paid about $42/hectare for landowners to preserve forests; in 2010 Norway began paying Indonesia a total of $1 billion to mitigate deforestation; China responded to 1998 floods with payments targeting deforestation and soil erosion; and many other programs large and small.

Controversies with and Limits to Ecosystem Valuations
From an academic perspective, although scholarly research is quite rapidly adding to this field of understanding, many knowledge gaps still remain. For example, there is an inherent uncertainty in attempting to quantify non-market goods. As pointed to by de Groot et al., many environmental goods (such as clean air and biodiversity) are simply not traded in established markets. In addition, many environmental goods may be non-rival, non-excludable, and even inseparable goods with multiple value options further complicating any valuation.

From an ethical and philosophical perspective, too, ecosystem valuation is far from uncontroversial. Arguments about the non-market valuation of ecosystem can be found by referring to environmental ethics and deep ecology.

Since animals do not put explicit prices on ecosystems they use, but do behave as if they are valuable, e.g. by selecting one territory vs. another, defending their territories, etc., it is mostly a matter of definition whether ecology should include valuation as an issue. It may be anthropocentric to do so, since "valuation" more clearly refers to a human perception rather than being an "objective" attribute of the system perceived. Ecology itself is also human perception, and such related concepts as a food chain are constructed by humans to help them understand ecosystems. In many cases by those who hold that markets and pricing exist independently of any individual human observers and "users", and especially those who deem markets to be "out of control", ecosystem valuation is considered a (marginal, ignored) part of economics. Others argue that natural capital is an economic concept that is at least as viable as financial capital, which itself is determined on subjective valuation. Some even suggest that valuation of ecosystem services is more cogent than financial valuation, as the ecosystem would continue after the collapse of the economy, while the inverse is not valid.

In addition, many fascinating questions about where ecosystem benefits go, and who should pay for those benefits, is an ongoing political debate. In one Washington city, residents now pay a water bill in order for the town to buy and restore land adjacent to the municipal water source; and international examples of evaluating and paying for services is no less a fascinating field of ongoing development.

Bruneau – Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness
Hi! We've been doing a copyright cleanup on a few articles, completely unrelated to your editing, but when looking at Bruneau – Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness I found a bit of text that had been copied over from the Public Lands Interpretive Association website. I've removed the text - looking at the site it seems likely that someone would have missed the almost impossible to read copyright tag on the page, (well hidden at the bottom), and would have assumed that it was PD from the US government. Anyway, I figured I should let you know. If I get the chance I'll try and rewrite the text a bit to get rid of any concerns. :) - Bilby (talk) 13:39, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, Flatscan pointed out to me that you had referenced a map, ratehr than the page, so it may be that this was a case of reverse copying from Wikipedia. My apologies if that was the case - I tend to be very cautious with copyright problems, as generally it is fairly easy to fix them, and fairly problematic to leave them alone. :) - Bilby (talk) 05:35, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for working on copyright cleanup, Bilby. I suspect that, as you suggested, this is probably a reverse-copy from Wikipedia.  I am aware of how important copyright is on Wikipedia, and as a rule I do not copy-and-paste text from external sources into Wikipedia articles, whether those sources are US Government public domain or not.  I have worked on rewriting a couple of articles on Wikipedia that contained copyrighted text, for example the  The Explorers Club and  Duck Valley Indian Reservation articles. I see that I did indeed add the paragraph in question to the Bruneau – Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness article on May 14, 2009.  This Jarbidge edit happened to be one day prior to my comment on the copyright violations of the  Duck Valley Indian Reservation article.  As you pointed out, the Public Lands Information Center website is copyrighted and is not the work of the US Government.  Unfortunately, the Internet Archive does not seem to have an archived version of the PLIC Bruneau-Jarbidge website, so I don't know how to prove that I wrote, rather than copied, the paragraph in question.  I recall writing that geographic description while looking at the cited Bureau of Land Management map; I unequivocally state that I did not copy-and-paste that paragraph.  -- BlueCanoe (talk) 19:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Hi, BlueCanoe. I looked at the map and the paragraph side by side, and I can see how you could have written it with a little extra information (I don't see a label for Indian Hot Springs). The PLIC pages for the Owyhee Canyonlands Wilderness Areas are of uneven length and quality, which makes me think that PLIC is more likely to have copied. Do you know a copyright cleanup regular who could take another look? Flatscan (talk) 05:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I don't see any reason not to just accept BlueCanoe's account. It seems odd for the PLIC to have copied a small part form the article, but I have no reason at all to doubt BlueCanoe. I might try a small rewrite so that there can be no issues, but I'm happy to put it back in. - Bilby (talk) 05:17, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I wasn't comfortable enough to restore it on my own, but I'll gladly go along. Flatscan (talk) 05:29, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for understanding. I am fine with a re-write of the paragraph in question to avoid any confusion in the future, but I'll leave that up to someone else in order to provide a new "voice".  I don't know if you're using some sort of bot to check for copyright violations, but it may be worth checking other PLIC pages against Wikipedia to see if this is more than a single case of reverse-copying.  -- BlueCanoe (talk) 20:17, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I with Backwardscopy. Flatscan (talk) 05:33, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Rodovia
This article is completely pointless. The main reason, which should be enough to delete it, is that it was copied word by word from this article. It was created by a newbie, who apparently is unfamiliar with Wikipedia policy and rules. He named the article in Portuguese, as he has done with many articles he has created (see his user page).

 * Keep. "roadcruft", for crying out loud? This is an article presenting a great deal of detailed information about the highway system of Brazil, if that's not encyclopedic then what's the US interstate highway system doing in Wikipedia? Bryan 21:02, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep Since the page has improved a lot since the page was created, with now a good standard of Wikipedia quality and capacity to be improved even more, why delete? It gives detailed information about the Brazilian highway system, as the US interstate, Autobahn or Autoroute pages does Zigzagoon 02:05, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I reorganized the page's structure, and added information. I don't see a mistake in simply naming the page with a foreign word, as many in Wikipedia are named too (see Autoroute, Autobahn, for example, in highway article). Artists, bands, cities and companies and (sometimes) regions names should use the original name (although you can and should translate its meaning in the article, when possible and appliable). When I couldn't find a apropriate name, I made sure to make lots of redirects to that page or links connecting to it. Redux argued And is that it was copied word by word from this article, but it was me that in fact added that information there (but I copied after to the "Rodovia" article, it was my mistake, but I reestructured everything). Please, take a quick look before anyone delete it; at most, I suggest moving the page to "Brazilian Highway System", merge with "List of Brazilian Highways or anything like that. Sometimes I rush to complete things and I don't see my errors, but it is in the errors that we learn. Please give the article a second chance. ApS Camper 05:19, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Dbenbenn mentioned the Autobahn article. However, the "Autobahn" is much more than simply the German word for "highway", specialists tend to view it as a type of road apart from others, that is, an Autobahn is a road, but it is more (or different, to a certain extent) than a highway.  That is what makes it possible for there to be a separate article on it, and as encyclopedic as it is.  That is not the same with the Brazilian Highways.  Those are just... highways, and as such I still believe that any reference to them would be better off as a part of the larger Highway article.  Even with the changes that ApS Camper has made to the article.  It's not about getting rid of the information, but rather moving it to a more suitable place (I believe).  Concerning the naming of articles in foreign languages, theoretically it's only acceptable in the cases of proper names (people mainly, but also bands, geographical locations if a denomination in English does not exist or objects and idiomatic expressions that are used in their foreign form in the English-speaking world – e.g.:faux pas or the aforementioned Autobahn), otherwise, non-English forms should exist only as redirects to the article. I believe that is uncontroversial – what's still being discussed is only what to do when discrepancies exist between English dialects (British, Canadian, U.S., Australian. etc.) or in terms of naming conventions in different countries.  This is the English Wikipedia after all.  As for the Rodovia article, I still maintain that it be deleted (but the data be moved to the Highway article).  I am of course open to the possibility of keeping it if ApS Camper or someone else can somehow make it encyclopedic enough.  I do not believe that this has been achieved as yet.  Redux 19:53, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't know whether an Autobahn is "a type of road apart from others", but the article Autobahn doesn't imply that as far as I can see. In fact, that article specifically says that Autobahnen are "similar to such freeways in other countries".  As far as I can tell, the content of Autobahn is simply "highways in Germany (and Austria and Switzerland)", and the only reason it has its own article is that the information wouldn't fit comfortably at highway.  Dbenbenn 03:47, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Thinking carefully, Redux is not entirely correct, but not entirely wrong neither. What had happened is the following: I was putting in information about Brazilian highways in the highway page, and suddenly I thought of making a new page with information about the Brazilian highways (which are named "rodovia"). While in the moment I had done a mistake in pasting the information given at highway page in the rodovia page, I, like Redux asked for, completely reorganized the page.

Still, as now the page has more information about Brazilian Highway System than the properly said "rodovias" (or if you prefer, Portuguese term given to Brazilian highways), I think that it can be prudent to move the page to, let me say, "Brazilian Highway System", and use the old page as redirect. But Brazilian highways have its similarities and differences from other highways in other countries, as Autobahns, Autoroutes, etc, etc; have (and observe that even in the Authobahn page, is written in italics, something like "this article is about the German road system" - the pages gives explanation in both the autobahns system and the autobahns themselves)

As I said, Redux's afirmation that Brazilian highways are not different than any other in the world is correct, but neither Autobahns are (as was said by Dbenbenn, and I add a comment of mine - many modern "rodovias" are like Autobahns, with the difference that the latter has no speed limit). And while he is still somewhat correct about the need of some major reorganization and more information, not all pages in Wikipedia are born 100% complete and correct. I am not the Greek God of Knowledge, neither Redux, nor anyone else (and that is the best thing of Wikipedia: everyone helps to build the pyramid (of knowledge). Give us time (not much, as I am working currently on it - unfortunately for me, I don't type very quickly), and sure, I, or someone else, will improve the page more than enough to satisfy Wikipedia's specifications. Said and Written by ApS Camper 04:35, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I guess we are discussing too much the German Autobahn here, but fine. I am somewhat familiar with the Autobahn, and I reflected in my comment above what specialists say about it.  The word "Autobahn" is indeed German for "highway", but as it exists in Germany, it has become a noun apart.  If the article doesn't say that, I'd say it's inaccurate or incomplete (you said it ApS Camper, many articles are less than perfect on Wikipedia).  But in any case, if we were to reach a consensus that the Autobahn is indeed just the German word for "highway", then I'd advocate that the contents of that article be merged in the Highway article and that article be deleted.  My point is (and has been all along): there's no reason to scatter the information in countless separate articles (imagine if people start creating articles to describe the road system of every country...).  In conclusion, if the Autobahn article is good or not, if it's accurate or not, that's a different discussion, especially because two wrongs don't make a right.  I'm sorry, but I still defend the delete option.  Redux 14:54, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I had seen recently the page Deletion policy, and I saw that the page, by the criteria given in the page above, does not necessarialy need deletion. By what Redux's arguments tell, the page is "written in a foreign language" *but only some words are in fact written in portuguese, the "rodovia" itself"). By Redux's arguments, it is a minor branch of a subject that it doesn't deserve an article. But I also disagree, because the page is giving information about the Brazilian road system (and not just describing it). Even if he is right at this point and I wrong, the correct procedure will be merge the page into a more useful content, by wikipedia's policies. Yes, the article needs improvement (cleanup), but I am working currently on it. Yes, I know that I could just put all this information in the highway page, but there is lots of information that is not relationated with the highway itself, but with the entire system. And I don't see why not create a page about the Brazilian road system, even because Brazil is a country that depends heavily on its road system, and that because many did with other countries's road systems. But perhaps I am really creating too much pages about the Brazilian highways. In this case, merge the content given in List of Brazilian Highways and its subpages with the content given in "rodovia" page, will make be the best option, in my opinion (like the Autoroute page, Quebec's road system).

In any case, be the page deleted, moved, merged or kept, I am determined to make a good and interesting page about it. Please, if possible, when you, the admin, in case you take the decision to delete the page, give me explanation about the page's mistakes, (feel free to comment in my user's page) to see what I had done wrong, and avoid hassling mistakes again. ApS Camper 19:06, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I'll say it again: although I'm advocating that the article be deleted, I've said time and again that the information in it should be merged in the highway article. I never suggested that we obliterate your work.  Furthermore, about the foreign language thing, I never said that the page was written in a foreign language, I said it was named in it (the article's name is Rodovia, isn't it?).  But if you can make it into an article on its own, great, I'll remove the VfD tag myself, but it's not about how many words or "data" you can stuff in it, it's how encyclopedic the article can be (and since a "Brazilian Highway" is not a category of road on its own, I don't believe that'll be possible).  If we come up with some other specific article, with a theme encyclopedic enough, in which we can merge the contents of the present Rodovia article, that's just as well, but once that article is created and the information in the Rodovia article is copied there, the Rodovia article itself will still need to be deleted.  Finally, an Admin does not "take a decision" to erase the page.  The Admins only enforce a decision made by the community, which means that an Admin will delete (or not) the article depending on the consensus that will be reached in this discussion.  And maybe I misunderstood what you meant in your last paragraph, but you do know that if the article is deleted by consensus and you just re-open it, that's breach of policy, don't you? Redux 20:20, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Redux, perhaps you'd be happy if the page were moved to Highways in Brazil? I believe that would be an unimpeachable title for the article.  And it wouldn't require the deletion of anything.  I think the theme of Highways in Brazil is encyclopedic, as it is a non-trivial part of the history and culture of Brazil.  Compare to Interstate Highway about American highways. Dbenbenn 21:57, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * So you misundestood me, Redux. I said that I pretend to make a good page about it (the Brazilian highway system, rodovia, etc), no just reopen it. I will wait to take apropriate action, that is what I meant. Your suggestion of merging information in the highway article is good, but then the page will be full of information that does not correspond to the article given (highway), and that is incoehrent of your part, that once said that Wikipedia's pages should have consistent information about the article given. Why you, Redux, don't see the Autoroute example, once that I am pretending to merge content given in the rodovia page to the content given in List of Brazilian Highways and subpages, and expand the new page in a apropriate way? The theme is encyclopedic, as said above by Dbenbenn, and have potential, if organized in the correct way, with the correct information.ApS Camper 23:46, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Moving the article to some other denomination (maybe Highways in Brazil, as Dbenbenn suggested) seems to be unavoidable, I guess. I disagree however, and I stress that this is my personal opinion, that an article on Brazilian Highways is (or would be) encyclopedic enough.  In that regard, maybe an article on the Brazilian transportation system, with sections on Highways, Railways and naval lines would be more appropriate.  I already know that Dbenbenn and ApS Camper disagree, but we haven't had other contributions to this discussion.  I don't know if two against one qualifies as a consensus, but if no one else will contribute, I'll accept it as majority rule.  Still, renaming the article (i.e. moving it) and improving the contents are essential.  Regards, Redux 03:13, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * No, ApS Camper and I agree. I disagree with you about deleting; ApS Camper and I both want to keep the article.  Dbenbenn 18:55, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep but Move to "Brazillian highway system" or perhaps some other similar title (although of those already mentioned this one seems the best). Paul August  ☎ 03:28, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

That was exactly what I had said Dbenbenn. I wrote that I already knew that you and ApS Camper both disagreed with my opinion, which I had just expressed. In fact, I guess the original point of this discussion is somewhat lost, since the article is going to be moved and the contents improved/altered (or whatever). For all practical purposes, the article "Rodovia", which I had listed for deletion, will no longer exist per se, although the contents will not have been lost, which is what I was advocating anyways. As I said before, it was not about obliterating ApS Camper's work, but rather placing the information in a better place (I had suggested originally a merge with the Highway article) -provided that said information be improved and expanded considerably, as it was not encyclopedic enough as it existed at the moment (which ApS Camper said he'd do). I guess once the article has been moved, the VfD tag will be removed. Regards, Redux 06:02, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Sorry, misunderstood you before. Moving to some English title sounds like a good idea to me. Dbenbenn 01:09, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Once I guess that we choose to keep the page - I moved already it to Brazilian Highway System, as most wikipedians asked for, and I am currently working on it to make it better. Regardly, ApS Camper 00:47, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

Stan Greenberg

Stanley Bernard Greenberg (born May 10, 1945) is an American pollster and political strategist affiliated with the Democratic Party. Greenberg is a founding partner of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research (GQR) and Democracy Corps, political consulting and research firms headquartered in Washington, D.C.

Described as a "pollster supremo", Greenberg is known to have played a crucial role in the elections of Bill Clinton as President of the United States and Tony Blair as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Isaac Herzog as President of Israel. As an anti-racist activist, Greenberg has written extensively about race relations in South Africa, and assisted Nelson Mandela's successful campaign in the 1994 South African general election.

Early life and career
Greenberg grew up in a Jewish family in Washington, D.C. In an article for Pacific Standard titled "Why Are You So Smart, Stan Greenberg?", Greenberg explained that a high school course called "American Civilization" partially inspired him to seek a career in politics. A political scientist who received his bachelor's degree from Miami University and his Ph.D. from Harvard, Greenberg spent a decade teaching at Yale University before becoming a political consultant. Greenberg was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1976.

Greenberg's 1985 study of Reagan Democrats in Macomb County, Michigan, became a classic of progressive political strategy and the basis for his continuing argument that Democrats must actively work to present themselves as populists advocating the expansion of opportunity for the middle class.

Political consulting career
As the pollster for Clinton in 1992, Greenberg was a major figure in the famed campaign "war room" (and hence the documentary film of the same name). He was the CEO and principal owner of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner until 2016.

After that, Greenberg was solely involved in Greenberg Research, where he is the CEO. He is co-founder (with James Carville and Bob Shrum) of Democracy Corps, a non-profit organization that produces left-leaning political strategy. He was previously a partner at Greenberg Carville Shrum, a political campaign consultancy firm. Greenberg is a noted advocate of progressive economic policies, and collaborated with left-wing think tank Economic Policy Institute (EPI) on a seminar titled "It's The Middle Class, Stupid!".

In May 2010 Greenberg was linked to a controversy involving White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. As a House member, Emanuel had lived rent-free for five years in a basement guest room in the DC house owned by Greenberg and his wife, Democratic House member Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut. During this time, Emanuel served as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which awarded large polling contracts to Greenberg's firm. Greenberg's former corporate clients include British Petroleum, British Airways, Monsanto Company, Boeing, General Motors, and Microsoft.

International political work
Greenberg advised the presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton and Al Gore, as well as hundreds of other candidates and organizations in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and around the world – including Nelson Mandela, Ehud Barak the former Israeli prime minister, Gerhard Schröder, the former Chancellor of Germany, and Tony Blair, the former British prime minister. During his work for the Austrian SPÖ in 2001, Greenberg was criticized by FPÖ leader Jörg Haider over allegations of negative campaigning. It has been reported that Greenberg currently works as a political consultant to the Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Personal life
Greenberg is married to Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, who currently represents Connecticut's 3rd congressional district. Public financial disclosures filed in Congress indicate Greenberg's current company, Greenberg Research, is worth up to $5 million.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that can exist in many different body sites. This tumor most often occurs in the salivary glands, but it can also be found in many anatomic sites, including the breast, lacrimal gland, lung, brain, Bartholin gland, trachea, and the paranasal sinuses.

It is the third-most common malignant salivary gland tumor overall (after mucoepidermoid carcinoma and polymorphous adenocarcinoma). It represents 28% of malignant submandibular gland tumors, making it the single most common malignant salivary gland tumor in this region. Patients may survive for years with metastases because this tumor is generally well-differentiated and slow growing. In a 1999 study of a cohort of 160 ACC patients, disease-specific survival was 89% at 5 years, but only 40% at 15 years, reflecting deaths from late-occurring metastatic disease.

Cause
Activation of the oncogenic transcription factor gene MYB is the key genomic event of ACC and seen in the vast majority of cases. Most commonly, MYB is activated through gene fusion with the transcription factor encoding NFIB gene as a result of a t(6;9) translocation. Alternatively, MYB is activated by copy number gain or by juxtaposition of enhancer elements in the vicinity of the MYB gene. In a subset of ACCs, the closely related MYBL1 gene is fused to NFIB or to other fusion partners.

MYB drives proliferation of ACC cells and regulates genes involved in cell cycle control, DNA replication and repair, and RNA processing. Thus, the MYB oncogene is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target in ACC.

ACC has a relatively quiet genome with few recurrent copy number alterations or point mutations,  consistent with the view that MYB and MYBL1 are the main oncogenic drivers of the disease.

Treatment
Primary treatment for this cancer, regardless of body site, is surgical removal with clean margins. This surgery can prove challenging in the head and neck region due to this tumor's tendency to show a perineural discontinuous growth, meaning that it follows nerves and different "nests" of the tumor can exist without a connection to the original tumor. Therefore, MRI-images should be analysed following nerve tracts up to the brainstem. Adjuvant or palliative radiotherapy is commonly given following surgery. For advanced major and minor salivary gland tumors that are inoperable, recurrent, or exhibit gross residual disease after surgery, fast neutron therapy is widely regarded as the most effective form of treatment. Chemotherapy is used for metastatic disease. Chemotherapy is considered on a case-by-case basis, as data on the positive effects of chemotherapy are limited. Clinical studies are ongoing, however.

Ledward Kaapana

Ledward Kaapana (born August 25, 1948) is a Hawaiian musician, best known for playing in the slack key guitar style. In 2011, he received a National Heritage Fellowship, the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts. He also plays steel guitar, ukulele, autoharp, and bass guitar, and is a baritone and falsetto vocalist. He received Na Hoku Hanohano Awards from the Hawai'i Academy of Recording Arts (HARA), and has been nominated for Grammy Awards.

Early life
Born on August 25, 1948, Led grew up in a musical family living in the small black sand bay village of Kalapana (mostly destroyed by the 1986 volcanic eruption of Kilauea), where he states there were few distractions. "We didn't have electricity, not television, not even much radio, so we entertained ourselves. You could go to any house and everybody was playing music." He was taught by his mother, Tina, and his uncle, the rarely recorded slack-key master Fred Punahoa.

Professional career
In his teens, Kaapana formed the musical group Hui 'Ohana (means "Family Group"), with his twin brother, Nedward Kaapana, and his cousin, falsetto-great Dennis Pavao. Hui 'Ohana released fourteen albums, each of which was a commercial and critical success. Kaapana left the group eventually, and then released six albums as the leader of another trio, I Kona, and performed with the Pahinui Brothers, 'Aunty' Genoa Keawe, David Chun, Barney Isaacs, and Uncle Joe Keawe.

His first solo album, Lima Wela (means "Hot Hands"), was released in 1983; the album won the Na Hoku Hanohano (means "Honored Stars") Award for "Instrumental Album of the Year" in 1984. He released Simply Slack Key in 1988, and Led Live in 1994 on Dancing Cat Records. He has performed and recorded with acoustic lap-steel player Bob Brozman, and released several more albums on the Dancing Cat label from the late 1990s onward. One of the greatest living slack key masters, Ledward has deep roots in the older styles, using only index finger and thumb picks to combine traditional musical phrases, some modern influences, and spontaneous improvisation to create beautiful multipart arrangements that are simultaneously old and new.

Nashville great Chet Atkins was so impressed by Ledward's playing that he paid him the ultimate country music compliment by giving Ledward his guitar. Ledward has played at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C., and made many tours of North America; his fans frequently refer to themselves as "Led Heads."

Kaapana ("Kah-ah-pah-nah") spells his name without using the modern  ʻokina  marking that is used to indicate a glottal stop for the proper pronunciation of certain Hawaiian words. Kaapana has said that his family has always spelled it without an ʻokina and he prefers the traditional spelling (not Kaʻapana.)

Quotes
"Everything you play, every time you play, there's a mood, an energy. If you plug into it, the music just flows. Even in a simple song, there are so many different ways to play the melody, the rhythm, the harmony. It never stops if you stay open to it."

Awards
He is one of the very few Hawaiian recording artists who has received Na Hoku Hanohano Awards from the Hawai'i Academy of Recording Arts (HARA) for work as a member of three different recording entities—as a solo artist, as a member of Ledward Kaapana & I Kona, and as a member of Hui 'Ohana. As of 2010, four of his solo albums have received Grammy Award nominations in the Best Hawaiian Music Album category.

Kaapana is a recipient of the 2011 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.
