Len Garry

Len Garry (born 6 January 1942 ) is an English musician, best known for being a member of The Quarrymen, a band who would later evolve into The Beatles.

Childhood
Garry was born in Wavertree, Liverpool. His father, Henry, worked as a compositor at the Liverpool Daily Post, and his mother, Phyllis, was a housewife. His older brother, Walter, was born three years earlier. Garry attended Mosspits Lane Primary School, which included future Quarrymen members Pete Shotton and Nigel Walley, and briefly, John Lennon. Len learned how to play the piano as a child.

1957-1958
In 1953, Garry was attending Liverpool Institute High School for Boys, when he met Ivan Vaughan. Vaughan would introduce Garry to Paul McCartney. The two briefly knew each other, as they were in the same German class. Two years later, Garry met John Lennon. In 1956, The Quarrymen was formed. The Quarrymen's original tea-chest bassist, Bill Smith, stopped showing up for practices shortly after, and so, Len stepped in as the new tea-chest bassist for the Quarrymen. The group, consisting of John Lennon, Eric Griffiths, Pete Shotton, Garry, Colin Hanton, and Rod Davis, formed the first stable line-up of the group.

Garry performed with the group at two of their most historical performances, on Rosebery Street, on 22 June 1957, and at their first performance at The Cavern Club. Len remained for a few months, when he had to back out after falling severely ill with Tubercular meningitis. Garry, however, would not return to the group after returning: "In 1955 I finally met John Lennon when Ivan Vaughan invited him to Woolton, where I bumped into Lennon, Shotton, Ivan and Nigel walking along Vale Road. I soon became 'one of the gang' who would hang around Calderstones Park. In 1956 a lad called George Lee, a friend of Eric Griffiths and John Lennon at Quarry Bank School, suggested to John that he form his own group. This was at the height of the skiffle craze, and sure enough in the autumn of 1956 the band that was to become the Quarrymen took shape, with another Quarry Bank lad called Bill Smith on tea chest bass. Bill however, never turned up for practices and so I soon stepped into his shoes and became a permanent member of the band, staying with the group until August 1958 when I fell seriously ill with tubercular meningitis, spending some 7 months in hospital." A few months after Len's departure, the band recorded their first singles; That'll Be the Day and In Spite of All the Danger. Garry was one of two members of the Quarrymen, who didn't attend Quarry Bank High School (the latter of which the band was named after), the other being Nigel Walley. Garry was in the same room as John Lennon, when he and McCartney first met on 6 July 1957: "I remember Paul coming along that night at St Peter's Church Hall, picking up a guitar – I didn't even know he was left-handed – and playing a couple of chords. I think he was trying to audition for us. John always wanted someone to support him, no matter what he did, and Paul came along at the right time. It wasn't just about playing guitar together or singing, it was about composing as well."

1994-present
In 1997, Garry reunited with the then-surviving members of The Quarrymen to perform a concert, to commemorate 40 years since the group's formation. Shortly after, they embarked on a tour which took place in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and Japan, among many others. Garry has participated on all Quarrymen releases since; including their three albums; Get Back – Together (1997), Songs We Remember (2004), and Grey Album (2012). Their recent material primarily consists of rock and roll and skiffle songs from the 1950s.

Garry was portrayed by actor Frazer Bird in the 2009 biopic Nowhere Boy.

The Quarrymen performed in New York City, for what would have been Lennon's 70th birthday in 2010.

As of 2016, Garry still tours with founding member Colin Hanton and Rod Davis.

Later life
As a young adult, Garry worked as in Architecture in Liverpool, and got married. In 1971, he and his wife migrated south to Chard, Somerset. During his time in Somerset, he fronted a rock gospel group called "Come Together", and both of his daughters were born there. In 1987, he and his family migrated to New Zealand, although after a few months, they moved back to England, this time, they moved back to Liverpool, where he still lives today.

Category talk:British colonies

Does Sri Lanka belong here? The colony was Ceylon—and it seems to inappropriate to list a currently existing independence nation-state as under "British colonies". "Former British colonies", maybe—but that's a whole other category that would not include things like "Basutoland". And non of the others are listed anyway. I am thinking we need a Category:Commonwealth Countries. Haven't found an existing one. —iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 20:35, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, the problem as you can see is that Ceylon is in fact a redirect to Sri Lanka; were the colonial and pre- and post-colonial histories to be split onto different pages, it would make sense to only have the Category tag for the colonial one, but as things are...

Talk:History of rail transport in France

Untitled
'France's railways form a somewhat unusual case in that they have never sufferred private ownership.'

'Sufferred' is just a little bit POV, isn't it? Aren't you lucky I'm not a free market zealot, or I would have you banned from editing wikipedia ever again!

Hard to read
Am I the only one who finds this article very hard to read? I propose putting a clean-up tag on it. /Dunord 02:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

second this, there is an issue with lack of sources, or all the sources behing paywalled. 74.64.59.57 (talk) 12:45, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

too reduced on the ownership controverse
This article fixed its eyes today too much on the private-public-ownership controverse. Some of the arguments are not completely correct, e.g. regarding the distance between Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand. (If interested, look into my German translation). There is much more to tell about: Its network roll-out, the achieving of high places or crossing of the alpes, the used technique for signals and locomotives, its pricing-system, why it has been sucessful during a period, when British, German and other railroadsystems needed government beneficiaries, why it has been much quicker in erecting a highspeed network than others, the role of SNCF during worldwar II regarding the deportation of jews and concerning the French resistance. There is still room for improvement. --Rosa Lux 12:42, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Tourist railways?
I am disappointed that there is no mention of the fact that France has many privately-run railways as tourist attractions. There seems no mention of them - and yet are some are quite sizeable: I have just returned from travelling on the Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme for example and I see that, according to my guide book the Chemins de Fer de Provence (150km Nice to Digne, is a private operator.

Quelle histoire?
I can't believe that this article, titled "History of rail transport in France", does not state WHERE (or even WHEN, with any reliability - 1832 having no citation) was the FIRST French railway! Surely it's the first thing to include, ne c'est pa? But oh no... for that little snippet one has to search for Wiki article Timeline of rail transport, where one eventually finds "1837 - The first line in France opened between Le Pecq near the former royal town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Embarcadère des Bâtignoles (later to become Gare Saint-Lazare)". What - the line had no name? Come on! Railway companies always have names. Does this article mention anything about the line, to shed some light here or there? No, no mention of 1837 at all. Years, names, etc. are actually very few here. This "history" article needs some basic early FACTS toute suite! Its first section called "Beginnings" really just describes (in huge length) why it did NOT begin the (quote) "main French railway system" until 1842. The first 90% reads more like a professorial treatise on the politics and economics of planning a national system (using France as the example), or a PhD thesis prepared after having read the 7 books listed at the end. Or maybe 2/3rds cut-&-pasted from a dusty shelf. Who knows? To check any one fact in the entire article you'd have to read though all 7 books! Was "the first French railway in 1832" correct (the article's opening line), or did the first line open in 1837? I'm none the wiser. A really, really annoying article.

Helen Watts

Helen Watts (7 December 1927 – 7 October 2009) was a Welsh contralto.

Early life
Helen Josephine Watts was born in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Her father was a pharmacist, Tom Watts and moved to live above his shop at 26 Market Street, Haverfordwest, Wales as a child. She was educated at Taskers School for Girls in Haverfordwest, the Abbots Bromley School for Girls, and at the Royal Academy of Music where she was taught voice by Caroline Hatchard.

And the singer uses it with taste and imagination."

The many recordings by Helen Watts included a "monumental" edition of forty Bach cantatas, with Helmuth Rilling conducting the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart. She also made several recordings as a soloist in Handel's Messiah, various roles in Wagner's Ring cycle, and an album of Welsh songs with the Treorchy male voice choir.

Larry Lloyd

Laurence Valentine Lloyd (6 October 1948 – 28 March 2024) was an English professional football player and coach.

A defender, he won domestic and European honours for both Bill Shankly's Liverpool and Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest in the 1970s. He was also an England international.

Early years
Lloyd started playing local football with Henbury Old Boys before being signed by Bristol Rovers. He made his debut on 10 August 1968 at Eastville in a 1–1 draw against Watford.

Liverpool
Rovers accepted a £50,000 bid for Lloyd on 22 April 1969 with manager Bill Shankly looking for a long-term successor to ageing skipper and defender Ron Yeats. Lloyd broke into the team later that year, making his debut on 27 September in a league game at The Hawthorns. Liverpool drew 2–2 with West Bromwich Albion. By the following year Lloyd was a regular as Shankly underwent a major rebuilding of the side, finding more new players of Lloyd's age.

Lloyd partnered one of the players who survived the Shankly cull, captain Tommy Smith. The pair were at the heart of the defence that took Liverpool to the 1971 FA Cup final, losing 2–1 after extra time to newly crowned league champions Arsenal.

Sir Alf Ramsey gave Lloyd his international debut on 19 May 1971 in a British Home Championship match against Wales. The game was played at Wembley and finished 0–0. Lloyd's club teammates Chris Lawler, Emlyn Hughes and Smith all started the game.

1972 saw Lloyd score his first goal for the Reds. It came in the 3–0 league win over Manchester City at Anfield on 26 February. His goal was the first of the 3 and came in the 37th minute. Kevin Keegan (53rd) and Bobby Graham (65th) completed the scoring.

Liverpool won the League and UEFA Cup double in 1973. Lloyd did not miss a single minute of the 54 matches played in the whole season. He scored in the first leg of the UEFA Cup final helping Liverpool to a 3–2 aggregate victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. The following year he suffered an injury losing his place to the young Phil Thompson and missed out on victory in the FA Cup final against Newcastle United.

Shankly quit that summer. successor Bob Paisley preferred Thompson and Lloyd transferred to Coventry City.

Coventry City
On 15 August 1974, Coventry under manager, Gordon Milne, paid a club record transfer fee for Lloyd. His form suffered after he was injured and he moved on to Nottingham Forest in December 1976. He had played 54 games for Coventry, scoring six goals.

Nottingham Forest
In 1976 Brian Clough, acting on Peter Taylor’s  advice, snapped up Lloyd for £60,000 after an initial loan period. Forest were chasing promotion to the top flight in English football. He made his Forest debut on 2 October in a league match against Hull City. Forest lost 1–0 away at Boothferry Park. It did not prevent Lloyd going on to win promotion with Forest that season. They won the League title the next season, and also won the League Cup final, against Lloyd's former club, Liverpool.

In 1979, Lloyd and Forest won the European Cup and retained the League Cup.

In the 1979–80 League Cup they reached the final for the third season running but lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

In June 1979, Lloyd represented the League of Ireland XI as a guest player in a tour of Asia, scoring twice in a 4–1 win over Singapore.

In 1980, Forest retained their European crown.

International career
Lloyd made four appearances for England in an international career which spanned over eight years. He made his debut on 19 May 1971 under the managership of Alf Ramsey in a Home Championship game against Wales which ended in a 0–0 draw. He made two further appearances, against Switzerland and Northern Ireland in 1971 and 1972 but was not picked again until 17 May 1980. Now under the managership of Ron Greenwood, Lloyd was picked to play against Wales again in the Home Championship. This was his last international appearance as England lost 4–1 to Wales at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham.

Wigan Athletic
Lloyd left Forest for Wigan Athletic in March 1981, where he was player-manager taking over from Ian McNeill. In 1981–82, he guided them to promotion from the Fourth Division, in only their fourth season as a Football League team. The following season, Lloyd oversaw their survival in the Third Division.

Notts County
Lloyd's success as Wigan attracted the attention of Notts County, who were looking for a new first team manager after Jimmy Sirrel "moved upstairs". However, after Lloyd's only season at Meadow Lane he left the club after relegation ended their three-year stay in the First Division, being sacked on 21 October 1984.

Personal life
Up until 2000 Lloyd was a regular and outspoken pundit for Nottingham-based local radio, firstly on GEM AM and latterly on Century 106, covering Forest matches. He lived in Spain for many years, where he had a number of bars and dealt in property sales. He was involved in football as manager of amateur side Real Marbella.

In 2001 after falling on hard times, Lloyd took the decision to sell his European competition medals raising £12,000 from a sale at Christie's. He regretted selling the medals which he claimed was forced on him by his financial position.

In 2008 Lloyd's autobiography titled "Hard Man, Hard Game" was published.

In 2021, he returned to the UK to live in Nottinghamshire. Lloyd died on 28 March 2024, at the age of 75.

This is a publicity piece by one of Newman's cult members
There is no legitimate dispute about who and what Newman was, and the facts are grossly misportrayed in the article. A few examples:

--Newman was thrown out of the APA because of unethical conduct, in particular a pattern of having sexual relationships with "patients."

--The final paragraph says that Newman is survived by two women in an unconventional family. In reality, for the last 25 years of his life Newman lived with between three and five women at a time, occasionally replacing one with another. It seems in the endless competition for favor among them, two of those women have sought to delete the others while presenting Newman the situation as something other than what it obviously was, which is a cult leader with a harem.

--It is well-documented and well-established that while Newman et al. operated through innumerable different groups and organizations over time, appearing in different parts of the spectrum as the winds shifted, in reality there was a core group of individuals who ran each and every one with a consistent agenda. The organizations were either consciously designed as "fronts," (e.g., the New Alliance Party), or the group would try to co-opt organizations such as the Independence party that had some degree of existing mainstream acceptance. While the party line changed from day to day (what can be said about a group that aligns itself with Louis Farrakhan in the late 1980s and with Ross Perot in the 90s?) the underlying goal was consistent: to reorganize society around "group therapy" sessions run by Fred Newman.

--The inner core group was serviced by a middle-ring of devoted cult members who were used as, essentially, slaves, devoting their lives to menial tasks for the comfort for Newman and others without compensation or reward.

I could go on and one forever -- Newman's misconduct was the subject of a television documentary, several government investigations, numerous publications by former group members, and so forth.

This article was supposedly peer reviewed, but there's no record of any peer review in the wiki.

Removed COI infobox after restructuring article
I restructured this article to include more criticism of Newman in a more coherent manner. In general, each section now has one "pro-Newman" and one "Newman-critical" voice. I think this has reduced the COI / NPOV concerns (which are from 2011) sufficiently to remove the infobox. SocDoneLeft (talk) 19:16, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Comments
I tend to doubt you've made repeated attempts to resolve this issue when it appears to have occured less than an hour ago, expecially because he explicitly denies that it was such an attack. However, if this is a recurring problem, please provide earlier examples so we can examine this on its merits. Cool Hand Luke  00:48, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I am not sure I am allowed to comment here.
 * However, if I am, then I will say
 * Whether someone denies an Ad Hominem is an Ad Hominem or not, does not affect the truth of the fact it is.
 * A single incident of this form is unacceptable for an Arbitrator.
 * Arbitrators have the power to dictate content and behaviour and rules to the rest of wikipedia.
 * Arbitrators MUST be beyond suspicion.
 * If it was not an arbitrator I would not be making the complaint.
 * CheeseDreams 00:55, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I too am unsure if I am allowed to comment here, but I will do so purely to note for the community's benefit that arbitrators are expressly forbidden from using their position to dictate content on any article and from creating any new policy. We merely enforce the policies already established by the community, and we have a good number of people to monitor us if we accidentally (or intentionally) stray from this purpose. This is still, of course, a position that requires those who hold to do their absolute best to be above reproach -- I heartily concur with CheeseDreams on that point. Jwrosenzweig 03:03, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'll comment. "Ad hominem attacks" are not the same thing as personal attacks. An ad hominem is merely an attack on credibility, while a personal attack is an insult (profanity, name-calling, etc). Personal attacks aren't allowed here, but neither Jwrosenzweig or I used personal attacks. You told me I was "acting like a childish bully," which is the closest thing to a personal attack in that RFC. So I really don't know what all this fuss is about "ad hominem attacks." Show me a Wikipedia policy which prohibits "ad hominem attacks." If I attacked your credibility, I promise you it was with good reason. If I distorted the facts, please point it out. But frankly, this isn't the debate team. I'm allowed to attack your credibility. I'm allowed to point out that you broke the rules first. I'm surprised that someone has yet to block you for your flagrant three revert violation. And Jwrosenzweig has done nothing but explain a rule to you. Hey, what a splendid way to thank someone who was just trying to help. Rhobite 04:53, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * I consider ANYONE making Ad Hominem attacks to be acting like a childish bully. CheeseDreams 19:21, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Further, I note that rather than explain his perception of 3rr to me on my talk page, an acceptable location, he did so in the discussion of Slrubensteins abuse of adminship. Thus it was an indulgement and continuance of the Ad Hominem. CheeseDreams 19:23, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Fair enough. Please point out the Wikipedia policy prohibiting "ad hominem attacks." Rhobite 19:27, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * Civility. CheeseDreams 19:48, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * No personal attacks CheeseDreams
 * Amongst other rules they state that prohibited practices include
 * "Never suggest a view is invalid simply because of who its proponent is. " (i.e. Ad Hominem attacks)
 * "More serious examples include....calling for bans and blocks"
 * Which I seem to remember either you or some of your supporters doing. CheeseDreams 19:53, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, yeah, I did call for a block, because you violated the three revert rule. Did you not? Rhobite 20:03, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

 * For information, whilst "Never suggest a view is invalid simply because of who its proponent is." is quoted in No personal attacks, CheeseDreams' second example "More serious examples include....calling for bans and blocks" does not and I'm not aware of it ever being included on that page. jguk 20:12, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * For information, the second example is in the Civility policy. CheeseDreams 11:05, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Expired
I removed some comments added after the expiration date. I hope that's not too contraversial. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 22:00, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Fine with me. Could always put them on the talk page under "comments added after RfC close" or something if anyone complains. Antandrus 22:10, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps we should protect these CheeseDreams RFC pages that are being deleted for not getting certified. That would allow them to be preserved without the danger of them continuing to be used to beat up on users when they've failed. (Full disclosure: I am the subject of a similar RFC that is about to expire). john k 01:48, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

sorry. I was startled to see my comment gone at first, but I hadn't noticed it had expired, so it was probably my fault. [[User:Dbachmann|dab ( T ) ]] 11:40, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

English pleasure

"English pleasure" is the generic term for a number of different English riding classes seen at horse shows in the United States, where the horse is ridden in either hunt seat or saddle seat tack.

In the average English pleasure class, the horses perform as a group, exhibiting the natural gaits of the walk, trot, and canter, and may also be asked to extend the trot or to perform a hand gallop. Horses are judged on their manners, performance, quality and conformation. The horse is to give the impression of being a pleasure to ride.

In the show hunter and hunt seat world, pleasure-type classes where the horses are not to jump are sometimes referred to as "flat" classes or "Hunter under saddle." In a variation on the pleasure class known as Hunter hack, riders may also be asked to have their horses jump two low jumps and back up. Show hack classes do not require jumping, but instead ask the horse to perform collected, regular, and extended versions of the walk, trot and canter, plus the hand gallop, usually attired in Dressage style equipment. In American Saddlebred breed competition, pleasure classes for five-gaited horses are sometimes offered, and at shows for "gaited" breeds such as the Tennessee Walker and the Missouri Fox Trotter, English pleasure classes substitute the breed's particular ambling gait for the trot.

The horse is usually ridden on contact with the rein, and the horse is penalized if it must be ridden on strong contact, gapes its mouth, does not respond willingly to light aids, or does not travel in balance. The horse should move straight, with a steady rhythm and a free and flowing stride. The horse should not come behind the bit, or travel too fast.

Hunter type movement (long and low) is preferred for hunter style horses. High action is preferred for English pleasure horses ridden saddle seat.

When showing in an English Pleasure or Hunt Seat class, the rider must be wearing the proper attire. This includes an English style jacket. The jacket can be different colors, depending on the style of riding. Most jackets are a dark grey, navy blue, or black. Underneath the coat the rider must have a collared shirt. Some shows and different events allow colored shirts, but the standard is a white or neutral color. The shirt can be either long or short sleeved. The rider must wear breeches. Depending on the show and event, the color of the breeches can vary from different shades of tan, gray, or white. English boots are also a requirement. Spurs are optional. Another requirement of the rider's attire is a helmet, or hunt cap. The style can vary depending on the event. Some styles of riding also require gloves to be worn, but for others gloves are optional.

Talk:Wienerschnitzel

Untitled
being a native german speaker, wienerschnitzel could also be translated to "peace of meat made out of citizens of vienna" --

Elaborating on that and taking into account that (outside Austria, where they're called Frankfurter) a Wiener is indeed a hot-dog sausage, wienerschnitzel would translate to 'weenie bits', 'slices of Wieners' etc. and be thus an almost appropriate name for that kind of franchise. :) --140.78.107.99 14:05, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

I think the name is just a jocular extension of "wiener," Wiener Schnitzel being a food term that most Americans have heard without knowing exactly what it is, like Hasenpfeffer and Sauerbraten. They just know it's meat of some kind, which is all they know about hot dogs. Richard K. Carson 06:09, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Where do they get their hot dogs from
Is it an own private company that makes the hot dogs or is it Frank, Ballpark, or Hewbrew that is the company where they get their hot dogs from?

New York pizza dog?...
what is this, they comin up with some dumb things --.::Imdaking ::.  Bow ]] 06:51, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

POV section
I removed the below section to here because it is entirely POV. If it's true, it needs a cite of some sort. Just stating it doesn't make it true. In addition, it states "do not always meet quality standards." Whose standards? The Department of Health? The author's? And lastly, the author's use of "MANY" instead of "many" is even more POV.

Criticism

 * Many customers feel that MANY of the existing restaurants need to be remodeled in order to promote cleanliness and healthiness. MANY of the older locations are un-safe and do not always meet quality standards. In some cases, customers have reported finding dead insects such as spiders & ants cooked into their deep fryed food.

Did John Galardi buy Taco Bell?
In that story of Wienerschitzel's origin, John Galardi said that he bought a Taco Bell store from its founder for $12k. It reads as if John bought everything that was Taco Bell, but then the story mentions building a Weinerschitzel store next to another Taco Bell store. Does anyone here know which is correct? Frotz (talk) 07:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Whatever happened to Weinerdog?
I remember back in the 80's a cartoon figure named Weinerdog that was the "logo" of Der Wienerschnitzel. I still have several toys and even some story cassettes from when I was a kid that have him on it. What happened to him? I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about it. - Ian 12:30 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Who named it?
In the quote it says Glen's wife but in the nested quote it says Bell's wife. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.213.222 (talk) 22:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Champaign location is CLOSED
The Champaign branch of Wienerschnitzel is now closed with no indication of when or if it will re-open. My attempt to change the page was immediately reverted with no indication of why (ok, it was poor grammar, but I was about to fix that). Saying that it is the easternmost location is now wrong. Fix it since you won't let me fix it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.227.76.50 (talk) 02:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Update: Champaign location has re-opened recently, which I believe makes it once again the eastern-most location. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.199.0.171 (talk) 01:50, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use or not?
That's a mighty long quotation from the Orange County Business Journal. 86.160.226.161 (talk) 20:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Link issue?
Why does the link for 'The delicious one' redirect to the Hermann Göring page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.64.146 (talk) 18:14, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Weird Sentence
I think this sentence is kind of contradictary:

"Wienerschnitzel locations are found almost exclusively in California and Texas, though others are located in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Washington state."

So they're "almost exclusive" to CA and TX, but also appear in 8 other states and Guam? Also, I know of at least 4 in the Salt Lake Valley of Utah, it's definitely not a hard to find restaurant here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.185.202 (talk) 04:52, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Missing some important information
How is it possible that the wiki page for Wienerschnitzel doesn't have a picture of the traditional Wienershnitzel restaurant design with the steeply pitched roof? Wikipedia is doing a disservice to its customers by allowing this to happen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.82.38.152 (talk) 01:10, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Fixed. Photo of traditional restaurant added. If anyone can get a pic of the original Wienerschnitzel at 900 W PCH, that would be good. Northwalker (talk) 21:36, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

There is something wrong!
First of all: I am German, so what I say is correct.

In this sentence:

"Only in the attribute position - Wiener Schnitzel - it means Schnitzel from Vienna or Schnitzel in Vienna-style, so the grammatically correct usage would be Das Wiener Schnitzel."

it says that Wiener Schnitzel could mean Schnitzel in Vienna-style. That is wrong. The correct term for that is Schnitzel Wiener Art. This is very important, because Wiener Schnitzel has to be made of veal and Schnitzel Wiener Art is mostly pork. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.130.95.111 (talk) 13:15, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Jeffrey Loria

Jeffrey Harold Loria (born November 20, 1940) is an American entrepreneur, author, and the former owner of the Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals) and Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball.

Early life
Loria was born and raised in a Jewish family in Manhattan, the son of Ruth (Ost) and Walter J. Loria, a lawyer. Loria took an early interest in baseball, attending his first New York Yankees game in the late 1940s. Loria attended New York City's Stuyvesant High School and Yale University, where he initially took pre-med courses. With a requirement to take a history class, Loria chose art history.

After college, he worked in a newly established art-buying program for Sears, launched with the help of actor Vincent Price. In 1965, at the age of 24, he opened his business, Jeffrey H. Loria & Co., on Manhattan's Upper East Side and wrote a book, Collecting Original Art. He specializes in 20th-century masters, and his collection includes works by Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore. Loria graduated from Columbia Business School in 1968 and published his second book, What's It All About Charlie Brown?. Co-written with Pat K. Lynch, it is a look at life through the Peanuts comic strip.

Montreal Expos
In 1989, Loria purchased the Oklahoma City 89ers, then a Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The team won the American Association championship in 1992. Loria sold the team in 1993 and began looking to buy a Major League team. He lost out to Peter Angelos in his bid to purchase the Baltimore Orioles in 1994.

On December 9, 1999, he bought a 24 percent stake in the Montreal Expos for $18 million CAD (approximately $12 million USD) and became the managing general partner. He'd initially considered buying the team in 1991 from founding owner Charles Bronfman, but Bronfman balked at Loria's demand for a controlling interest and the team was subsequently sold to then-team president Claude Brochu instead. Loria headed an ownership group that included the city of Montreal, several Montreal businesses, and Stephen Bronfman, Charles' son. When a series of cash calls over the next two years went unanswered, Loria ended up with 93 percent of the team at a valuation of US$50 million.

One of Loria's first acts was to reiterate demands for a new park for the Expos to replace Olympic Stadium, of which he bluntly said, "We cannot stay here." He lost a considerable amount of goodwill with Expos fans when the team was not able to reach an agreement for television and English-speaking radio coverage during the 2000 season, as the Expos tried to increase their revenue from broadcast rights. He also sought more public funding for a planned downtown ballpark, Labatt Park. However, the provincial and municipal governments balked at committing more money to the project. Premier Lucien Bouchard said that he could not support using public funds to build ballparks when the province was being forced to shut down hospitals. Additionally, Bouchard did not like that Olympic Stadium still had not been paid for 25 years after being built, and ultimately wouldn't be paid for until 2006.

Sale of the Expos
In 2002, as part of an orchestrated move with Bud Selig and then-Marlins owner John W. Henry, Loria sold the Expos to a partnership of the other 29 major league clubs for $120million. In effect, the Expos were sold to the commissioner's office (being owned by the league). Henry then sold the Marlins to Loria for $158.5million, including a $38.5million no-interest loan from MLB. The deal was approved by the other owners before Loria and Henry signed the contract, and paved the way for Henry to buy the Boston Red Sox. Loria moved the Expos' entire front office staff, on-field staff, office equipment and computer equipment to Florida. MLB's plans to contract the Expos and Minnesota Twins failed, as the Twins were compelled to fulfill the terms of their lease at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.

Loria's partners in the Expos ownership consortium filed a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) lawsuit against Loria and Major League Baseball, eventually going to arbitration, with the arbitration panel finding in favor of Loria. The Expos were ultimately transferred to Washington, D.C., as the Nationals. While the move was welcomed by baseball fans in Washington, it has led to many bitter feelings among Montreal – as well as Canadian – baseball fans. Many speculate that Loria never intended to keep the team in Montreal. The feelings among some Canadian baseball fans are so strong that when Loria chose Remembrance Day to announce his team's new name and stadium, Richard Griffin, a well-known Canadian baseball columnist wrote:

 * It's ironic that Loria and the Marlins held their celebration in Miami on Remembrance Day because there's a generation of fans north of the border that will never forget (about how Loria's actions led to the Expos leaving town).

Florida/Miami Marlins
Shortly after selling the Expos, Loria officially became owner of the Marlins on February 12, 2002. Loria won his first World Series as an owner in his second full season in Florida, as the Marlins beat the Yankees four games to two in the World Series.

In 2013, Forbes evaluated the current value for the Miami Marlins at around $520 million. As of May 12, 2009, the Marlins were 569–564 under Loria. On November 11, 2011, the Florida Marlins officially rebranded themselves the Miami Marlins with a new logo, uniform, and color scheme.

The franchise, which previously paid rent at Sun Life Stadium, had been trying for years to finance a new retractable roof ballpark. The City of Miami and Miami-Dade County both voted to approve construction of a new baseball stadium for the Marlins. Marlins Park is located in the area formerly occupied by the Miami Orange Bowl football stadium. Construction was completed by opening day 2012. Before the stadium deal was in place, the team shed star players to pare down payroll to among baseball's lowest in 2006, and was given permission to explore options for relocating. The team then worked with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County, in a public/private partnership, to build the 37,000 seat ballpark.

A deal with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County was eventually approved and the Marlins agreed to contribute $155 million toward the construction of a new retractable roof stadium. They were also made responsible for any cost overruns for the stadium, set in the Little Havana section of Miami. Financing for the facility was completed with tourist bed taxes and funds reserved specifically for convention centers and sporting facilities. The deal required taxpayer general funds to compensate all cost overruns, but the facility was completed on-time and under budget. The Marlins receive 100% of all revenues from the stadium, but must pay all costs associated with operating the facility. The first Major League Baseball game in the new stadium was against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 4, 2012.

Following a disappointing season in which the Marlins finished last in their division, the Marlins completed a 12-player trade on November 19, 2012, with the Toronto Blue Jays as part of an effort to pare down the team's payroll. This led local and national sportswriters, as well as Marlins fans, to criticize Loria's stated intentions of building a competitive team. Much of the controversy stemmed from the demands on local government to fund much of the construction at Marlins Park. Although the Marlins faced the threat of boycotts during the 2013 season from local residents, politicians, and sportswriters, Loria defended the November 2012 trade with the Blue Jays. He claimed that despite the Marlins' hefty payroll in 2012, the fans did not sell out the facility as imagined and that the organization was not winning and needed to "take a new course" in order to do so.

In April 2013, Loria reportedly had Ricky Nolasco and José Fernández switch the games of a doubleheader in which they were scheduled to pitch, violating clubhouse protocol. In July 2013, hitting coach Tino Martinez, who had been handpicked by Loria, resigned following allegations that he verbally and physically assaulted players, including Chris Valaika. When the organization considered promoting Valaika to the majors in August after Plácido Polanco was placed on the disabled list, Loria vetoed the transaction, and the team promoted Gil Velazquez instead.

Loria had been called "baseball's most hated man", its "worst owner", and even one of the "worst owner(s) in sports history". He is a "widely despised" figure in South Florida; in 2012, a Miami Herald poll found him with a six percent favorability rating among Marlins fans and Major League Baseball fans in South Florida.

Loria sold the team in 2017 to a group led by Bruce Sherman.

Political controversy
In February 2017, it was reported that Loria had been in negotiations to sell the Marlins to the family of Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Donald Trump, and that the parties came to "a handshake deal". At the same time, the Trump Administration was working to name Loria the United States ambassador to France. In response, Kushner announced that his family would not buy the club if Loria was appointed to the position. Neither the appointment or the deal ultimately occurred.

Personal life
In 1980, he married Sivia Samson (divorced from attorney Allen Samson); they divorced in 2005. His stepson, David Samson, served as the Marlins team president until September 2017. In 2007, he married Julie Lavin Loria.

Loria still runs his art dealership, and is an honorary member of the board of overseers of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law of Yeshiva University in New York. He formerly served on the board of the Art Dealers Association of America. Loria divides his time between homes in New York and South Florida.

Elections in Romania

Romania elects on a national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. The president is elected for a five-year term by the people (after a change from four-year terms after the 2004 election). The Romanian Parliament (Parlamentul României) has two chambers. The Chamber of Deputies (Camera Deputaţilor) has currently 330 members (after the last legislative elections), elected for a four-year term by party-list proportional representation on closed lists. The Senate (Senatul) has currently 136 members (after the last legislative elections), elected for a four-year term by party-list proportional representation on closed lists.

Romania has a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.

On 25 November 2007, for the first time, Romanians elected their representatives to the European Parliament.

President
The President is elected in a two-round system for a five-year term. Candidates obtaining a majority of 50%+1 of all registered voters in the first round are declared the winner. If none of the candidates achieve this, then a run-off is held between the two contenders with the top scores in the first round. The candidate who obtains any majority of votes in the run-off is declared the winner.

The term of the president is five years. Between 1992 and 2004 the term was of four years, but was increased following the 2003 Constitutional referendum. One person can serve a maximum of two terms, that may be consecutive.

In order to be able to run for the Office of President a candidate must fulfill the following conditions: be a Romanian citizen, be at least 35 years of age (at least on the day of the election), and not have held the office for two terms since 1992, when the 1991 Constitution took effect.

Parliament
The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate are elected in constituencies, by universal, equal, direct, secret, and freely expressed suffrage, on the basis of a list system and independent candidatures, according to the principle of closed party list proportional representation. The option for an identical election system of the two Chambers of Parliament confers them the same legitimacy, as both of them are the expression of the will of the same electoral body.

The two Chambers have different numbers of members: the Chamber of Deputies is composed of 330 Deputies, and the Senate of 136 Senators. This differentiation is possible owing to the legal provision of a representation norm differing from one Chamber to the other and due to the seats allotted to the national minorities (a seat in the Chamber of Deputies for each minority) and to the Romanians living abroad (4 seats in the Chamber and 2 in the Senate). Thus, for the election of the Chamber of Deputies the representation norm is of one Deputy to 73,000 inhabitants, and for the election of the Senate, of one Senator to 168,000 inhabitants.

The number of Deputies and Senators to be elected in each constituency is determined on the basis of the representation norm, by relating the number of inhabitants in each constituency to the representation norm. There are 43 constituencies: 1 for each county and the Municipality of Bucharest, and 1 for the Romanians living abroad. In a constituency, the number of Deputies cannot be less than four, and that of Senators, less than two. The number of inhabitants taken into account is that existing on 1 January of the previous year, published in the Statistical Yearbook of Romania. If, at least five months before the election date, a general census has taken place, the number of inhabitants taken into account is that resulting from the census.

The electoral threshold is for parties or candidates running individually 5% on national level or 20% in at least 4 constituencies, and 8-10% for coalitions or electoral alliances.

The Constitution of Romania and the Election Law grant to legally constituted organizations of citizens belonging to national minorities, in case these could not obtain at the election at least one Deputy or Senator mandate, the right to a Deputy mandate, if they have obtained throughout the country a number of votes equal to at least 5% out of the average number of votes validly expressed throughout the country for the election of one Deputy.

The mandates assigned, under the conditions of the Election Law, to organizations of citizens belonging to national minorities are added to the Deputy mandates resulted from the representation norm.

European Parliament
To elect the 33 MEPs (35 MEPs between 2007 and 2009, 32 between 2014 and 2019), Romania is considered a single constituency. The system used is closed party list proportional representation, with a 5% threshold of the votes.

Local elections
To elect the mayors the first past the post is used since 2012. The candidate who wins most of the votes is declared elected. A runoff is organised if the top two candidates have an equal number of votes.

For the office of Presidents of the County Councils, between 2008 and 2012, and again since 2024, the first pass the post system was used. Until 2008 and again since 2016, the County Council Presidents have been indirectly elected by each County Council.

To elect the Local, and County Councils, the closed party list proportional representation, with a 5% threshold of the votes at the constituency level (city, commune or county).

Voting procedures
Irrespective of the type of election, the vote is done by using paper and manual counting. The voter is required to prove his/hers identity using the Identity card (or the previous version, the Identity bulletin), or, for special reasons, the military ID or the passport. After (s)he signs in the permanent, supplemental, or special electoral list, (s)he is handed a voting ballot (buletin de vot) and a stamp that reads VOTAT YYYY TTT (voted); YYYY stands for the year the election is held, and TTT for the type of elections to be held: L for local elections (including partial), P presidential elections, PE for European Parliament election, R for referendums (R.V.U. was used in 2007). For the general election, up to now, there was no additional type indicator, as it is granted most importance.

For the local and parliamentary elections, the voter can vote only at the polling station where (s)he has the permanent address (domiciliu), or the temporary residence (flotant) at least three months old. For the local election, the Romanians outside Romania cannot vote. For the parliamentary election they vote the candidates for the 43rd constituency. For the European Parliament and presidential elections the voters can vote at a different pooling station than the local and parliamentary elections, but only if (s)he is not in the home-town the voting day. Since the 2016 legislative election the Romanian electors residing abroad will be able to cast their vote via mail.

The voting ballot is printed on newspaper paper, monochrome. All the candidates (or the full candidate list) are listed in a lottery type established order (first the parliamentary parties, than the non-parliamentary parties, and at the end, the independent candidates), each in a clearly designated rectangular that consists of the full party/alliance name and logo, and the full candidate name (or full list of candidates' names). Voters express their choice by stamping the rectangle of the party or independent candidate (s)he wishes to vote for. For referendums the same voting procedure is used. Each of the two options (YES – DA and NO – NU) are in a 5×5 cm square, YES on top and NO at the bottom, and the question voted for in the middle of the voting ballot.

Referendums
The Constitution of Romania defines that a referendum has to be called to: Moreover, the Constitution defines that a referendum can be called on matters of national interest by the President of Romania after consultation with Parliament (article 90).
 * suspend the President from office (article 95), or
 * amend the Constitution (article 151)

There were 8 referendums (and 1 local one) in post-communist Romania:
 * 2 constitutional referendums: in 1991 and 2003
 * 2 presidential impeachment referendums: in May 2007 and in 2012
 * voting system referendum in November 2007
 * parliamentary reform referendum in 2009
 * referendum regarding the definition of family and another one only in the Olt County to rename it to "Olt-Romanați County" in 2018 at the same time
 * referendum about justice and corruption in 2019

There was also 1 referendum in the Socialist Republic of Romania, 3 referendums in the Kingdom of Romania and 2 referendums in the Romanian United Principalities.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/R. J. Drofnats

R. J. Drofnats
I wrote it. I expected it to be deleted much sooner; it wasn't, so I'm listing it myself. Look, I'll make it up to you: I promise there are no more articles like this lurking in the Wiki (authored by me, that is), and I'll never start a new one (and that's a pretty big commitment, considering the endless potential for comedy Wikipedia has). In return, you don't bust my chops too hard but just vote Delete real quick. Deal? (And in case you don't get any of it: you really need to be a TeX nerd for that.) JRM 20:45, 2004 Dec 3 (UTC)
 * Comment Thank you. (Yes, that's sincere). Given that the article is an obvious prank (spell the name backwards, etc.) and therefore technically vandalism, and given your implicit acknowledgement, I think it's a valid candidate for speedy deletion and will delete it. Anyone who wants it back, let me know; I'll undelete it on request. Entire content of article is given below. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 21:04, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Revinu Jitis Drofnats (born January 10, 1938 in Tupelo, Oregon) is a professor of farm ecology at the University of St. Anford in California. Since 1982, he has been the conductor of the university orchestra.

 * He is best known for his research on the potential application of isolated analgesics, which has led to radically more efficient management of aspirin-based compounds.

 * In 1984, Drofnats sued Donald E. Knuth over the publication of a private letter by Drofnats in Knuth's The TeXbook, claiming copyright violation. This was overturned on the technical matter of Drofnats being a figment of Knuth's imagination. As of 2004, the case is still awaiting appeal.

Thermal fluids

Thermofluids is a branch of science and engineering encompassing four intersecting fields:
 * Heat transfer
 * Thermodynamics
 * Fluid mechanics
 * Combustion

The term is a combination of "thermo", referring to heat, and "fluids", which refers to liquids, gases and vapors. Temperature, pressure, equations of state, and transport laws all play an important role in thermofluid problems. Phase transition and chemical reactions may also be important in a thermofluid context. The subject is sometimes also referred to as "thermal fluids".

Heat transfer
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the transfer of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase-change transfer. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differing chemical species, either cold or hot, to achieve heat transfer.

Sections include :
 * Energy transfer by heat, work and mass
 * Laws of thermodynamics
 * Entropy
 * Refrigeration Techniques
 * Properties and nature of pure substances

Applications

 * Engineering : Predicting and analysing the performance of machines

Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the science of energy conversion involving heat and other forms of energy, most notably mechanical work. It studies and interrelates the macroscopic variables, such as temperature, volume and pressure, which describe physical, thermodynamic systems.

Fluid mechanics
Fluid Mechanics the study of the physical forces at work during fluid flow. Fluid mechanics can be divided into fluid kinematics, the study of fluid motion, and fluid kinetics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion. Fluid mechanics can further be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest, and fluid dynamics, the study of fluids in motion. Some of its more interesting concepts include momentum and reactive forces in fluid flow and fluid machinery theory and performance.

Sections include:
 * Fluid flow and continuity
 * Momentum in fluids
 * Static and dynamic forces on a boundary
 * Laminar and turbulent flow
 * Metacentric height and vessel stability

Applications

 * Pump Design.
 * Hydro-Electric Power Generation.
 * Naval Architecture.

Combustion
Combustion is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species. The release of heat can result in the production of light in the form of either glowing or a flame. Fuels of interest often include organic compounds (especially hydrocarbons) in the gas, liquid or solid phase.

Talk:Würzburg

Twin Towns
If the city in question shares its name with another city in the same country, add in the state or province it belongs to. "Rochester, USA" is vague. "Otsu, Japan" is not (as far as I know, but if there is another city in Japan named Otsu, clarify it). "Hollywood, USA" would not be vague as even though there's more than one, that reference always refers to the place in California.  Sparkhead  15:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

The following discussion on the German version of this page is of interest here aswell:
 * In English article, Faribault (Minnesota, USA) is written as one of twin towns. But the section of Städtepartnerschaften in this article does not mention the city. Which is wrong ? --QBay 15:19, 15. Jun. 2009 (CEST)
 * Comparing the English article with the German one, one detects two discrepencies: The German article does not list neither Faribault (Minnesota, USA) nor Arad in Western Romania. Born in Würzburg myself, I have no knowledge about a partnership with either of the two, while I do have such knowledge about the others. As my private knowledge proves nothing, here is the webside of the Würzburg townhall which only lists those of the German article. This official websites provides no hint that there would be different levels of partnerships as one might come to comclude from English article. --Wiki Surfer BCR 19:10, 15. Jun. 2009 (CEST)

Could you provide a reference for the partnerships which are only listed in the English article? Otherwise I'd suggest to remove those. Wiki Surfer BCR 14:25, 16. Jun. 2009 (CEST)'' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.107.9.202 (talk) 12:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

"Dom/Dome"
I believe if we speak of the Würzburger Dom it's Dom not Dome. A local variant? --Wetman 04:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC) yeah i belive so and ;GO tigers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.89.237.89 (talk) 22:16, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Cemetery?
Isn't there supposed to be a cemetery along side Würzburg Cathedral? I am looking at it on Google Earth and there's a small courtyard immediately to the south of the main structure, and a couple other smaller courtyards scattered around, but none look like they have a cemetery in them. Tilman Riemenschneider the famous sculpter is supposed to be buried there. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 04:36, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There is a court yard to one side of the church with a large number of graves, many are members of the cathedral chapter. Riemenschneider's grave stone however is on the outer wall on the other side facing the Neumuenster church.  From google earth it can actually be seen as a plaque on the outside wall.--CSvBibra (talk) 06:47, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Eric Piatkowski

Eric Todd Piatkowski (born September 30, 1970) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He is the son of former ABA player Walt Piatkowski.

High school career
Piatkowski attended Rapid City Stevens High School and was a student and a standout in basketball. In basketball, as a senior, he led his team to the 1989 South Dakota Class AA State Championship, was an All-State selection, and was named the Mr. Basketball for the State of South Dakota.

College career
Piatkowski played at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln for coach Danny Nee from 1990 to 1994. He was a member of the All Big Eight Freshman team in 1991 and was honorable mention All Big Eight his freshman and sophomore seasons. Piatkowski was a first team All-Big Eight pick by the Associated Press his junior year and averaged a team high 16.7 points per game. He averaged 21.5 points per game his senior season and was named to the All Big Eight team again. He also led the Cornhuskers to the Big Eight Conference Tournament Championship game while scoring a collegiate high and NU single game record 42 points against Oklahoma in the semi-finals. They went on to defeat Oklahoma State in the finals and he secured tournament MVP honors. That helped earn them the sixth seed in the NCAA Tournament. However Piatkowski's team lost to the eleventh seeded Penn Quakers in the opening round. He was recognized as an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press and finished his collegiate career with 1,934 career points, behind only Dave Hoppen for the most in school history. His jersey at Nebraska (No. 52) was retired in 2006.

NBA career
After completing his eligibility at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Piatkowski was drafted by the Indiana Pacers with the 15th pick of the 1994 NBA draft. The Pacers immediately dealt his draft rights, along with Pooh Richardson and Malik Sealy, to the Los Angeles Clippers for Mark Jackson and the draft rights to Greg Minor. He ended his Clipper career as the franchise leader in games played (616), 3-point field goals made (738) and 3-point field goal attempts (1,835) and free throw percentage (.880%).

After nine seasons with the Clippers he signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Houston Rockets before the 2003-04 season. Piatkowski became a Bull on September 8, 2004, when Houston sent him, Adrian Griffin and Mike Wilks to Chicago in exchange for Dikembe Mutombo. On July 13, 2006, Piatkowski officially signed with the Phoenix Suns, agreeing on a two-year, $2.4 million deal. In April 2014 Piatkowski's group was attempting to buy the L.A. Clippers from embattled owner Donald T Sterling, before Steve Ballmer bought the team outright.
