Thank you - that's fantastic! ...and what I would've tried to write, had I known anything whatsoever about NCAA basketball... Ambi 06:59, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Having had it
Yeah, I've been pushed into a bit more incivility than usual. I wish I could retract, but I don't think that would even be a rational response, and it certainly wouldn't be a sufficient one at this point. In case you haven't seen it yet, there is now, on Meta, an Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians. Fine, fine. By itself, that's just stuff. What has tipped the balance for me is that their pages aren't "gee, I hate it when worthy stuff gets deleted": they're "Everybody go vote keep on the following articles on VfD." The result is a quick influx of Anthony-styled "keep" with no rationale. Just a string of "keep notable." That still wouldn't have gotten me to be actually incivil, except that it has taken the next step, which is that people signed on that page go into VfD and say, "You people need to stop this" and "Open an RfC on X for nominating clearly good pages." The tone on VfD has gotten utterly poisonous, and it's organized. One person getting snippy is understandable, but a project of actual, avowed warfare? Not nice. Geogre 23:46, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Tutorial
The fancy template was put in by a new user. It's pretty but it's not as easy to use. I'm a function-over-form guy, so if you want to change back, I'm in favor. People are getting carried away with the glitzy html-laden templates on everything. Isomorphic 23:10, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Comma connundrum
By golly, you were right. I had my grammar school English rules backwards. Thanks for the nice comment, BTW. I am intentionally keeping the Wikistress at a minimum and I've never enjoyed editing more! In fact, I plan on adding some info to the Carmen Miranda article. Her grand-niece is a friend of mine, and she was instrumental in having a plaza in Hollywood named after her aunt. Interesting stuff. Oh, and happy turkey day! - Lucky 6.9 23:35, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

re: User:Niteowlneils/csdornot/
Good morning. Thank you for opening this discussion page. I've tried to stir some interest in this problem on the CSD talk page but have had only marginal success so far. Before I begin adding to your list, I am going to take the liberty of expanding the headings on your discussion page. If I've overstepped your intent, please revert.

newcomerbiting = ?
Hi, I noticed your edit of the HP-41 article, and your summary "-newcomerbiting" stumped me -- what does it mean, exactly? :-) (in general and/or in relation to your changing of links into ordinary text in the article). Is it a standard wp expression? If not, how about doing like me and putting up a list of 'special/unusual/self-devised' edit summary comments at your User page? Just wondering, --Wernher 03:39, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I actually do have a glossary on my User page, but hadn't gotten around to adding this, as I've only used it once, and probably won't use it much, if at all, in the future. The issue for me is that red-links that are highly likely to end up on VfD pose a high risk of alienating newcomers that create articles for them. Note that that Sharp model has only one-third the hits of the HP model red-link I left. --Niteowlneils 03:51, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the explanation (and quick response at that)! As for your edit summary glossary: 1) sorry for not noticing it (its 5 AM here in Norway), and 2) great minds think alike :-) Should I interpret your rationale for the edit you made that I and WP would be better off if I didn't make 'red links' for, let's say, esoteric articles, in my text, but instead go on and make those articles myself if I feel the need (and so not leave that to others)? --Wernher 04:02, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * To a point yes, although, like I said, I probably won't use the comment much, as there aren't many things I would be likely to de-link, as doing it to excess would kinda fly in the face of most people's idea of Wikipedia, and in most categories 'red-link responses' aren't likely to be VfDed. The two main categories I can think of are individual product models like that calculator, and really minor fictional characters/places/things, as both almost always go to VfD. Red-links for things that are generally kept, even VERY obscure, such as a species of worm only found in the Easter Islands, or some author that is notable in an obscure corner of science, I consider desirable. FWIW, it's around 8pm here, and since I'm back to being unemployed, I often spend most of my time between 9am and 9pm on Wikipedia. Niteowlneils 04:20, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks for elaborating. OT re my WPing for most of the night incl the "graveyard shift": I'm on sick leave due to some serious sleep problems (sleeping for two days straight, staying up two days)... I'm actually going to a sleep lab in March/April to be hooked up to a bunch of measurement devices in order to try and figure things out. ZZZzzz |-] --Wernher 04:43, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanksgiving greetings
Thanks for the kind words about our William N. Page article. Working on the article (and your contributions) has developed new leads to several more resources of information. I am also working on the Virginian Railway article and hope to be able to put more in about VGN operations, since the building story has largely been told elsewhere. Is there a WP method of indication a referral to another article (i.e. For the story of the Building of the Virginian Railway, please see sections under William N. Page) to avoid being repetitious, but still leading the reader to the content? I have another piece Auto Train as a fac right now, with no votes of support or objection. That one would have broad appeal to WP readers, especially younger ones, and provides a friendly introduction to many WP railroad links. Could you look at it and comment?

Best wishes for a safe and Happy Thanksgiving from 30 miles upriver from Berkley Plantation, site of America's First Thanksgiving. Mark in Richmond, VA Vaoverland 21:09, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article licensing
I've "started" the Free the Rambot Articles Project which aims to get users to release all of their contributions to the U.S. state, county, and city articles (if any) under the CC-by-sa 1.0 and 2.0 license (at minimum) or into the public domain if they prefer. A secondary, but equally important, goal is to get those users to release ALL of their edits for ALL articles. I've personally chosen to multi-license all of the rambot and Ram-Man contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the   template (or even    for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case, since the number of your edits is in the top 100. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Multi-licensing), you could replace   with    -- Ram-Man 00:07, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

Data
I updated the edit list with a small PHP script I wrote, and the CSV user data; I didn't mess directly with the database dump. I was going to give you a few suggestions here, but it seems your problem has been solved, judging by your latest message at the Village pump. Good luck. - MattTM | talk 04:40, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

Lost VfDs
Yeah, I notice you do these too. They're much more of a constant problem than I previously imagined. I find them in the following way: I wrote a very simple perl script that extracts all the links from Votes for deletion and Votes for deletion/Old. Then it outputs links from Category:Pages on votes for deletion not currently listed. Thus, I've been working from the category, but the links-to might are probably less tempermental. Changing the script I get:

(Moved to User:Niteowlneils/LostVFDs)

Looking at this output, I think the category works better for the purposes of my script.

A lot of these are misc garbage, recently resolved artifacts, and ancient unresolved VfDs. Also, a lot actually don't link to the template, yet they show on the links-to and category (ex:List_of_albums). I don't know why it does that.

I find that a lot of article have VfD subpages, but have never been listed, like JTF-CNO. I list only about 10 a day to not flood VfD. Cool Hand Luke  07:57, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Oh, and I should note some are listed due to variant link capitalizations, and that you are more than free to delete this clutter from your user page. Cool Hand Luke  10:20, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I just downloaded a copy of the cur table, and am playing around with it. One of the things I've found I can do is generate giant lists of articles that have pieces of text like "votes for deletion" and " " in them. Interested? -- Cyrius|✎ 06:04, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

OK, using the list that Cyrius gave me, I produced output and checked the pages by hand, adding this list to User:Niteowlneils/LostVFDs. There are about 45 of these, although some are unresolved VfDs. A large chunk of articles weren't showing up before because they used an ancient VfD template from before categories. Finding possible deletion debates for these old VfDs would be difficult: we'd have to go through the VfD archives history. Probably, it'd be easier to list these. Cool Hand Luke  08:17, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Licensing of pictures
The pictures use a different set of licensing templates. You'll have to use more than one:

Cur into MySQL
From a unix command line, I did 'mysql (options for logging in and selecting the right database) < 20041126_cur_table.sql'. Note that max_packet_size will need to be increased. Apparently it governs how big a chunk of data transmitted between the client and server can be, and cur has some that are larger. If you don't, it'll stop with an error. -- Cyrius|✎ 18:46, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I do not understand what RickK's problem with Chicago is!!! Thanks for your latest edit - a vast improvement. --Rebroad 12:13, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Rocky - 7 theatres
with regularly scheduled shows? Source? Cause I have 3 of them here in Central Florida... Admittedly I haven't been on the newsfroup lately, but I can't imagine it's died that bad; I'd have heard. Baylink

Notes on my talk page
Thanks for all the notes on my talk page! Luckily, my hands haven't been bothering me that much, which is so A Good Thing. I moved the pages back to where they were and left a note on the guy's talk page, but as of yet I haven't seen a response. I'll add all those pages to my watchlist. Mike H 03:39, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)

Tony Hatch
I am reverting this entry back to its original content, since there was no copywright violation involved, as I am the one who wrote the article on the cited website!!!!! TOM 13:09, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)

Edits
It appears you have chosen to double-check EVERY entry I've created over the past several weeks. (Since so many of these have been done long after the original creation date, I assume you're actively seeking them out as opposed to stumbling across them by accident.) I appreciate your edits, since I am at a loss as to how one is expected to know the myriad of often bizarre links used on Wikipedia. For example, how does one determine that Dunreith, Indiana is linked as Dunreith? I never would have suspected that at all! Since I'm already spending a considerable amount of time researching and writing, and you seem far more knowledgeable about links, I'll let us continue as we have - me writing, you fixing - and perhaps by examining your edits I can pick up some tips. Thank you. TOM 14:50, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

P.S.
Could you please define the term "dab"? You use it often when describing your edits, but since I have no idea what it means, I can't figure out what it is you're fixing. Thanks. TOM 15:23, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

Another Question
Sorry all these thoughts didn't come to mind at once so I could have asked my questions in one entry. I can understand correcting a link if it takes you to a disambiguation page, thus necessitating two steps to get to the info you're seeking, but if it's a "redirect" and gets you where you want to go right away, why go to all the trouble of changing it? Better yet, why does Wikipedia seemingly have multiple links to the same place (such as "situation comedy" and "sitcom")? Thanks again! (I think I'm finished for now :) ) TOM 15:39, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC) X-Forwarded-For: 10.0.0.15

Votes by the Insane
This one has me amazed. The fellow Jacob Sager Weinstein nominated the article for VfD himself, saying that he wrote it before he knew about the policy against autobiography, and on VfD some people are voting "keep, you are notable." Geogre 20:03, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Concerning the prank article that was voted to be kept. I think it reflects some interesting attitudes that we as wikipedians exhibit. This is not to say that I do not and will never assume the validity of an article. I think of it as a fascinating inquiry into the nature of wikipedians.

I have wondered for awhile about how Wikipedia will evolve as wikipedians continue to use this resource. What form, being guided by current policy, will Wikipedia take on in the future? I think more and more experiments and inquiries into the nature of fellow wikipedians shall be undertaken in order to guide future policy. I think that I may not have made myself clear so any questions just direct to my talk page please. Jaberwocky6669 06:18, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project
Hi. You've helped with the WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Tony Hatch (again)
Why hasn't my response to allegations of copyright infringement that I put on on the Talk Page for Tony Hatch been addressed yet? I thought I stated my case very succinctly. (By the way, the Spectorpop website still refuses to respond to my E-mail demanding an explanation for using my work without permission.) Thanks! TOM 17:41, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Classroom Blog = Wikipedia
Want to see some fun? Check out User:WD-40. Now, see his contributions. Notice how they're all talk pages? Check those user pages out. Guess what? Wikipedia is a classroom chat room now. Apparently, I "blocked my school," according to WD-40, from Wikipedia when I put in a 24 hour ban for an IP that hit my Tale of a Tub article with "I just found my branium isn't that interesting" in paragraph 12 or so (sneaky bullshit vandalism). Cute. Looks like we need a big can of Raid. Geogre 01:49, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * There were two vandals I banned for 24 hr. I assumed that WD-40 was talking about the one who mucked up the Tale article, as that seemed very much like their level of discourse, but there was one the day before from speedy deletes.  An article said, "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! I WILL COME AND KILL YOU ALL IF THIS IS REMOVED."  That was bannable, too.  I suppose that's also a 12 year old's level of discourse.  (sigh)  I should introduce WD-40 to RickK. :-)  Or Lucky 6.9 when he's in one of his moods. :-)  I don't taunt them.  If I have to ban them, I just do.  If they're at autobanning level, they're pretty obvious, and they know what they're doing wrong, as they have to be trying to offend before I'll ban someone.  (I did do a 96 hr ban on someone, but that was for a much more serious offense.  That person moved User pages.  That's much more sophisticated and potentially much more damaging, so I felt like the hammer needed to fall with all possible force.)  Geogre 04:11, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Cirque revisited
Cirque du Soleil

Niteowlneils - I'm new so I'm sorry if this is either a) the wrong place to ask this; or b) a generally stupid question. I've been editing the sub-articles for the Cirque du Soleil page, adding some content under touring shows that were missing sub-pages and such. I can easily pick pictures off of Cirque's web site but I'm concerned that this would violate copyright. Can you give me some guidance? --RenaRF 22:38, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Oh poop Niteowl. I took descriptions from Cirque's site not only for Dralion but for others - I quoted in some (I think a  press release for Zumanity) but others were straight descriptions (slapping head).  I'll fix by paraphrasing forthwith.  --Rena 03:43, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Ok. Frankly, paraphrasing the Cirque descriptions didn't really work well - so here's what I went with.  I had a short intro sentence referring to the internal Cirque site and clearly referencing the official Cirque site and then clearly set up and then quoted the description directly.  I hope that is a solution - having seen all the touring shows, the Cirque descriptions are the only that do it justice.  Do you think that will work? ==Rena 04:19, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Transwiki deletion of recipes

School tables
I received word from User talk:Geogre that you were going to create tables for U.S. elementary schools. It seems like a worthy goal, and I'm willing to undertake part of the work, as I have some skill in converting the table HTML into wiki markup using script. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 01:46, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)

 * I finished creating a script to parse the data, and put up a new list at User:Niteowlneils/Rhode_Island_schools. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 04:22, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)

 * It's really no trouble to program my script to output wiki table markup, which I'll be working on. One question: how should I name the school list articles?  Something like "List of public schools in Rhode Island", maybe?  Should I break the lists into chunks should they become unmanageable in one piece?  [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 06:22, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)

School table project
How is the school table project going? Did you use my script at User:Poccil/Schooltables.js? I, however, didn't get much done because I had second thoughts on the feasibility of this project, and also because I'm not exactly sure how to title the generated pages for one state, for one county, and for more than one county. Respond at my talk page. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 20:48, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

 * The background-color suggestion for the tables could work, and maybe using different colors for the school names than for the other columns of the table. My script is already capable of converting the CSV data into mixed case.  For the article naming convention,  there are a few possibilities:
 * [State] schools or [List of] schools in [State]
 * [County, state] schools or [List of] schools in [County], [state]
 * For more than one county, I fear that the title would be too long, but here goes:
 * Schools in X, Y, and Z counties, [State]
 * As far as a "US Schools" WikiProject, are there other goals besides making lists of the schools?

I'm not sure why you sent me a message regarding the articles about Blood Brothers and The Blood Brothers, since I had nothing to do with either one. The FinalWord 12:57, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Why delete Sunset & Vine?
The content was minimal but my knowledge is minimal. Whats the point of deleting it?

Response: Im sorry but that's just obtuse--an external link IS content, unless theres some rule about this Im missing. In the future someone with more extensive knowledge on the topic will fill that it. But deleting it now just gives that person more work to do. Congrats.

Are you giving me shit?
This 'cleanup' stuff on the Dower article I just pummeled into shape is over the edge--justify it or make an enemy.

I'm calmer now that I have a specific criticism. But I still vehemently disagree. There is perhaps one questionable sentence that I can see(being the last one), and I find your points regarding the use of the word 'finest' to be particularly vacuous. The world is "too ambiguous" for an encyclopeadia? It has a specific enough meaning in the sentence, I see no ambiguity at all. If you want more balance to the article, do the research and add it yourself--I am not currently in the mood to flesh out "opposing viewpoints" just because you think that makes the article more complete. I have no problem with further edits by those who have additional or more reliable knowlege on the subject, but I feel insulted by the haughty and quite unfounded "lacks NVOP" cop-out. The result now is far from perfect I will be the first to admit--but its far better than it was. And you didnt think it needed a special category then, did you? That just makes you a fair-weather wiki, I guess. Personally, I think the open community could do without it. 4:08 Shanghai Time Dec 20, 2004

Equal Protection Clause
Thanks so much for your comments, both at the fac article and at my own talk page. I'm going to try to deal with them in the near future. I've already created a John Bingham stub, as you can see. As for foreign impact, I really don't think there's been any. Why? Perhaps in part b/c the Clause is an artifact of American federalism, which, for better or for worse, is unique. Again, thank you for taking the time to read and to comment. Best, Hydriotaphia 06:30, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

Just in case you didn't see this on the featured article candidates page, I thought I'd add it here: "I think I've dealt with your objections. Please tell me if there's something else that you see as a problem. Thanks for your comments." Hydriotaphia 02:19, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. Best, Hydriotaphia 02:35, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

And thank you for your editing, too—definite improvements! Hydriotaphia 03:33, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Hey, Neils, would you mind taking a look at the affirmative action section of the article (Equal Protection Clause) and tell me what you think of it. I'm afraid that some libertarian troll's going to go apesh*t on me about it. But maybe I'm just being paranoid... Best, Hydriotaphia 00:50, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestions—I've taken them. "Invidious" is the right word; it has taken on a particularized meaning in legal discourse, and now signifies something like, "motivated by irrational animus." I've changed "uninvidious," which from a quick check of the literature appears to be a solecism, to "non-invidious." Hydriotaphia 07:22, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Neils, since you support the article, I'm going to go ahead and strike-through most of your previous comments, since I think I've taken care of the concerns you expressed. I hope you don't find this to be presumptuous; please de-strike them if you wish. Best, Hydriotaphia 08:57, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

Dudley W. Morton

Dudley Walker Morton (July 17, 1907 – October 11, 1943), nicknamed "Mushmouth" or "Mush", was a submarine commander of the United States Navy during World War II. He was commander of the USS Wahoo (SS-238) during its third through seventh patrols. Wahoo was one of the most-celebrated submarines of World War II, as it sank at least 19 Japanese ships, more than any other submarine of the time. Morton and Wahoo disappeared in 1943 during a transit of La Pérouse Strait. He was legally declared deceased three years later.

Early life
Morton was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, on July 17, 1907. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1930. There he received the nickname "Mushmouth", after a character in the cartoon strip Moon Mullins whose large square jaw and prominent mouth resembled Morton's. The nickname was shortened to "Mush", by which he was known for much of his life. One of his classmates was Lance Edward Massey.

Naval career
Prior to the outbreak of World War II, Morton served on the USS Saratoga (CV-3), USS Chicago (CA-29), USS Canopus (AS-9), USS Fairfax (DD-93), and the submarines USS S-37 (SS-142) and USS R-5 (SS-82), which he commanded from August 19, 1940, to April 23, 1942. Morton was promoted to lieutenant commander on October 15, 1942, and was in nominal command of USS Dolphin (SS-169) while it underwent extended repairs at Pearl Harbor. He was relieved to make a war patrol in USS Wahoo (SS-238) between November 8 and December 26 as prospective commanding officer, a supernumerary position to prepare him for command of a fleet boat. Morton took command of Wahoo on December 31 in Brisbane, Australia. Between January 26, 1943, and October 11, he carried out four offensive patrols, during which Wahoo was responsible for sinking 19 cargo and transport ships for a combined total of 55,000 tons.

Buyo Maru incident
During Wahoo's third war patrol, Morton was responsible for an incident which resulted in shipwrecked soldiers in about twenty lifeboats of sunken Japanese transport Buyo Maru being fired on while in the water. The transport was torpedoed by Wahoo on 26 January 1943. Morton was responsible for ordering the machine gunning of the shipwrecked survivors in the water. Morton and his executive officer, Richard O'Kane, had misidentified the survivors as solely Japanese. In fact, they were mainly Indian POWs of 2nd Battalion, 16th Punjab Regiment, plus escorting forces from the Japanese 26th Field Ordnance Depot.

O'Kane's account describes Morton explaining that he should prevent enemy troops from getting ashore to fight again - as each one of them could cost an American life. However, the Hague Convention of 1907 bans the killing of shipwreck survivors under any circumstances. O'Kane further explained that the fire from Wahoo was intended to force the troops to abandon their boats and no troops were deliberately targeted. Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, the Commander of the Submarine Force for the U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMSUBPAC) asserted that the survivors were army troops and turned machinegun and rifle fire on Wahoo while she maneuvered on the surface. He further stated that such resistance was common in submarine warfare. In 1975, historian Clay Blair claimed Morton opened fire first and the shipwrecked returned fire with handguns.

Disappearance
After three arduous war patrols, Morton was given the highly dangerous assignment of penetrating the Sea of Japan for the second time, in October 1943. Morton was reported missing in action that December, when his submarine was presumed lost. After the war, it was determined from Japanese records that, on October 11, in the time frame in which the Wahoo was expected to exit through La Pérouse Strait, an antisubmarine aircraft found a surfaced submarine and attacked, dropping three depth charges.

Declared deceased on January 7, 1946, Morton's decorations included the Navy Cross with three gold stars in lieu of a second, third, and fourth awards, and the Army Distinguished Service Cross. O'Kane believed the Buyo Maru POW shootings prevented Morton from being awarded the Medal of Honor. The destroyer USS Morton (DD-948) was named in his honor.

Summary of war patrols
With six war patrols, Morton ranked third among the Navy's top skippers, credited with 19 ships and 54,683 tons sunk, per JANAC (alternatively recorded as 17 ships/100,400 tons, per Blair )

In popular culture
In 1960, Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, Jr., ComSubPac during World War II, was asked to write the foreword for former Wahoo crewmember Forest Sterling's book, Wake of the Wahoo. He wrote about Morton: "When a natural leader and born daredevil such as Mush Morton is given command of a submarine, the result can only be a fighting ship of the highest order, with officers and men who would follow their skipper to the Gates of Hell... And they did." Added Lockwood: "Morton lined up an impressive number of 'firsts' during the short ten months that he commanded Wahoo: first to penetrate an enemy harbor and sink a ship therein; first to use successfully a down the throat shot; and first to wipe out an entire convoy single-handed."

In Herman Wouk's novel War and Remembrance, and the mini-series based on it, the Buyo Maru incident is prominently fictionalized as a scene for a major character's development.

Peripheral Interface Adapter

A Peripheral Interface Adapter (PIA) is a peripheral integrated circuit providing parallel I/O interfacing for microprocessor systems.

Description
Common PIAs include the Motorola MC6820 and MC6821, and the MOS Technology MCS6520, all of which are functionally identical but have slightly different electrical characteristics. The PIA is most commonly packaged in a 40 pin DIP package.

The PIA is designed for glueless connection to the Motorola 6800 style bus, and provides 20 I/O lines, which are organised into two 8-bit bidirectional ports (or 16 general-purpose I/O lines) and 4 control lines (for handshaking and interrupt generation). The directions for all 16 general lines (PA0-7, PB0-7) can be programmed independently. The control lines can be programmed to generate interrupts, automatically generate handshaking signals for devices on the I/O ports, or output a plain high or low signal.

In 1976 Motorola switched the MC6800 family to a depletion-mode technology to improve the manufacturing yield and to operate at a faster speed. The Peripheral Interface Adapter had a slight change in the electrical characteristics of the I/O pins so the MC6820 became the MC6821.

The MC6820 was used in the Apple I to interface the ASCII keyboard and the display. It was also deployed in the 6800-powered first generation of Bally electronic pinball machines (1977-1985), such as Flash Gordon and Kiss. The MCS6520 was used in the Atari 400 and 800 and Commodore PET family of computers (for example, to provide four joystick ports to the machine). The Tandy Color Computer uses two MC6821s to provide I/O access to the video, audio and peripherals.

Hyperspace

In science fiction, hyperspace (also known as nulspace, subspace, overspace, jumpspace and similar terms) is a concept relating to higher dimensions as well as parallel universes and a faster-than-light (FTL) method of interstellar travel. Its use in science fiction originated in the magazine Amazing Stories Quarterly in 1931 and within several decades it became one of the most popular tropes of science fiction, popularized by its use in the works of authors such as Isaac Asimov and E. C. Tubb, and media franchises such as Star Wars.

One of the main reasons for the concept's popularity is the impossibility of faster-than-light travel in ordinary space, which hyperspace allows writers to bypass. In most works, hyperspace is described as a higher dimension through which the shape of our three-dimensional space can be distorted to bring distant points close to each other, similar to the concept of a wormhole; or a shortcut-enabling parallel universe that can be travelled through. Usually it can be traversed – the process often known as "jumping" – through a gadget known as a "hyperdrive"; rubber science is sometimes used to explain it. Many works rely on hyperspace as a convenient background tool enabling FTL travel necessary for the plot, with a small minority making it a central element in their storytelling. While most often used in the context of interstellar travel, a minority of works focus on other plot points, such as the inhabitants of hyperspace, hyperspace as an energy source, or even hyperspace as the afterlife.

The term occasionally appears in scientific works in related contexts.

Concept
The basic premise of hyperspace is that vast distances through space can be traversed quickly by taking a kind of shortcut. There are two common models used to explain this shortcut: folding and mapping. In the folding model, hyperspace is a place of higher dimension through which the shape of our three-dimensional space can be distorted to bring distant points close to each other; a common analogy popularized by Robert A. Heinlein's Starman Jones (1953) is that of crumpling two-dimensional paper or cloth in the third dimension, thus bringing points on its surface into contact. In the mapping model, hyperspace is a parallel universe much smaller than ours (but not necessarily the same shape), which can be entered at a point corresponding to one location in ordinary space and exited at a different point corresponding to another location after travelling a much shorter distance than would be necessary in ordinary space. The Science in Science Fiction compares it to being able to step onto a world map at one's current location, walking across the map to a different continent, and then stepping off the map to find oneself at the new location—noting that the hyperspace "map" could have a significantly more complicated shape, as in Bob Shaw's Night Walk (1967).

Hyperspace is generally seen as a fictional concept not compatible with present-day scientific theories, particularly the theory of relativity).  Some science fiction writers attempted quasi-scientific rubber science explanations of this concept. For others, however, it is just a convenient MacGuffin enabling faster-than-light travel necessary for their story without violating the prohibitions against FTL travel in ordinary space imposed by known laws of physics.

Terminology
The term "hyperspace" originated in 19th-century mathematical texts in the context of higher-dimensional space,   and it is still occasionally used in academic works in that context, popularized among others by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku's popular science book Hyperspace (1994).   The means of accessing hyperspace is often called a "hyperdrive",    and navigating hyperspace is typically referred to as "jumping" (as in "the ship will now jump through hyperspace").

A number of related terms (such as imaginary space, Jarnell intersplit, jumpspace, megaflow, N-Space, nulspace, slipstream, overspace, Q-space, subspace, and tau-space) have been used by various writers, although none have gained recognition to rival that of hyperspace. Some works use multiple synonyms; for example, in the Star Trek franchise, the term hyperspace itself is only used briefly in a single 1988 episode ("Coming of Age") of Star Trek: The Next Generation, while a related set of terms – such as subspace, transwarp, and proto-warp – are employed much more often, and most of the travel takes place through the use of a warp drive. Hyperspace travel has also been discussed in the context of wormholes and teleportation, which some writers consider to be similar whereas others view them as separate concepts.

History
Emerging in the early 20th century, within several decades hyperspace became a common element of interstellar space travel stories in science fiction. Kirk Meadowcroft's "The Invisible Bubble" (1928) and John Campbell's Islands of Space (1931) feature the earliest known references to hyperspace, with Campbell, whose story was published in the science fiction magazine Amazing Stories Quarterly, likely being the first writer to use this term in the context of space travel. According to the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction, the earliest known use of the word "hyper-drive" comes from a preview of Murray Leinster's story "The Manless Worlds" in Thrilling Wonder Stories 1946.

Another early work featuring hyperspace was Nelson Bond's The Scientific Pioneer Returns (1940). Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, first published in Astounding starting in 1942, featured a Galactic Empire traversed through hyperspace through the use of a "hyperatomic drive". In Foundation (1951), hyperspace is described as an "...unimaginable region that was neither space nor time, matter nor energy, something nor nothing, one could traverse the length of the Galaxy in the interval between two neighboring instants of time." E. C. Tubb has been credited with playing an important role in the development of hyperspace lore; writing a number of space operas in the early 1950s in which space travel occurs through that medium. He was also one of the first writers to treat hyperspace as a central part of the plot rather than a convenient background gadget that just enables the faster-than-light space travel.

In 1963, Philip Harbottle called the concept of hyperspace "a fixture" of the science fiction genre, and in 1977 Brian Ash wrote in The Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction that it had become the most popular of all faster-than-light methods of travel. The concept would subsequently be further popularized through its use in the Star Wars franchise.

In the 1974 film Dark Star, special effects designer Dan O'Bannon created a visual effect to depict going into hyperspace wherein the stars in space appear to move rapidly toward the camera. This is considered to be the first depiction in cinema history of a ship making the jump into hyperspace. The same effect was later employed in Star Wars (1977) and the "star streaks" are considered one of the visual "staples" of the Star Wars franchise.

Characteristics
Hyperspace is typically described as chaotic and confusing to human senses; often at least unpleasant – transitions to or from hyperspace can cause symptoms such as nausea, for example – and in some cases even hypnotic or dangerous to one's sanity. Visually, hyperspace is often left to the reader's imagination, or depicted as "a swirling gray mist". In some works, it is dark. Exceptions exist; for example, John Russel Fearn's Waters of Eternity (1953) features hyperspace that allows observation of regular space from within.

Many stories feature hyperspace as a dangerous, treacherous place where straying from a preset course can be disastrous. In Frederick Pohl's The Mapmakers (1955), navigational errors and the perils of hyperspace are one of the main plot-driving elements,  and in K. Houston Brunner's Fiery Pillar (1955), a ship re-emerges within Earth, causing a catastrophic explosion. In some works, travelling or navigating hyperspace requires not only specialized equipment, but physical or psychological modifications of passengers or at least navigators, as seen in Frank Herbert's Dune (1965), Michael Moorcock's The Sundered Worlds (1966), Vonda McIntyre's Aztecs (1977), and David Brin's The Warm Space (1985).

While generally associated with science fiction, hyperspace-like concepts exist in some works of fantasy, particularly ones which involve movement between different worlds or dimensions. Such travel, usually done through portals rather than vehicles, is usually explained through the existence of magic.

Use
While mainly designed as means of fast space travel, occasionally, some writers have used the hyperspace concept in more imaginative ways, or as a central element of the story. In Arthur C. Clarke's "Technical Error" (1950), a man is laterally reversed by a brief accidental encounter with "hyperspace". In Robert A. Heinlein's Glory Road (1963) and Robert Silverberg's "Nightwings" (1968), it is used for storage. In George R.R. Martin's FTA (1974) hyperspace travel takes longer than in regular space, and in John E. Stith's Redshift Rendezvous (1990), the twist is that the relativistic effects within it appear at lower velocities. Hyperspace is generally unpopulated, save for the space-faring travellers. Early exceptions include Tubb's Dynasty of Doom (1953), Fearn's Waters of Eternity (1953) and Christopher Grimm's Someone to Watch Over Me (1959), which feature denizens of hyperspace. In The Mystery of Element 117 (1949) by Milton Smith, a window is opened into a new "hyperplane of hyperspace" containing those who have already died on Earth, and similarly, in Bob Shaw's The Palace of Eternity (1969), hyperspace is a form of afterlife, where human minds and memories reside after death. In some works, hyperspace is a source of extremely dangerous energy, threatening to destroy the entire world if mishandled (for instance Eando Binder's The Time Contractor from 1937 or Alfred Bester's "The Push of a Finger" from 1942). The concept of hyperspace travel, or space folding, can be used outside space travel as well, for example in Stephen King's short story "Mrs. Todd's Shortcut" it is a means for an elderly lady to take a shortcut while travelling between two cities.

In many stories, a starship cannot enter or leave hyperspace too close to a large concentration of mass, such as a planet or star; this means that hyperspace can only be used after a starship gets to the outside edge of a solar system, so that it must use other means of propulsion to get to and from planets. Other stories require a very large expenditure of energy in order to open a link (sometimes called a jump point) between hyperspace and regular space; this effectively limits access to hyperspace to very large starships, or to large stationary jump gates that can open jump points for smaller vessels. Examples include the "jump" technology in Babylon 5 and the star gate in Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Just like with the very concept of hyperspace, the reasons given for such restrictions are usually technobabble, but their existence can be an important plot device. Science fiction author Larry Niven published his opinions to that effect in N-Space. According to him, an unrestricted FTL technology would give no limits to what heroes and villains could do. Limiting the places a ship can appear in, or making them more predictable, means that they will meet each other most often around contested planets or space stations, allowing for narratively satisfying battles or other encounters. On the other hand, a less restricted hyperdrive may also allow for dramatic escapes as the pilot "jumps" to hyperspace in the midst of battle to avoid destruction. In 1999 science fiction author James P. Hogan wrote that hyperspace is often treated as a plot-enabling gadget rather than as a fascinating, world-changing item, and that there are next to no works that discuss how hyperspace has been discovered and how such discovery subsequently changed the world.

Talk:Canine tooth

Untitled
I changed the text to say "Most species that develop them normally have four per individual...". I can't be sure from what i found whether there are any 2-, 6- or 8-canine species.

Hard to tell from Google; abstr of "Phylogeny, form and function of canine teeth in the horse" was hit 36 searching
 * "Canine teeth" or "Canine tooth"

(note the accidental & ineffective lower-case "or"!), and the first hit not about humans, house pets, or the giant ground sloth. With [cattle] it seems to be an arbitrary choice of terminology! But with [[http://www.northamericanwhitetail.com/weirdwhitetails/wt_ww1201vampire/ whitetail deer, a few individuals occasionally have canines where most have nothing.

 * There are certainly 2-canine species (most deer, for example). There are no living species with more than four canines, however. Anaxial 10:36, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Eucynodontia suggests that differention of teeth came between reptiles and mammals, but there were also dinosaurs with canines.

Plenty of work to do here!

These are also called cuspids  — Chris Capoccia  T⁄C 11:37, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

"Eyeteeth" - perhaps descriptive?

As seen here, the unerupted permanent "eye teeth" literally appear to be closer to the eye than the others. Is it possible the term reflects simple observation of skulls? I can't put an unverified speculation into the article, but I am skeptical that the term "eye teeth" is purely based on superstition. Mike Serfas 19:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * OED and the three dictionaries at that give etymologies all just say it's because it's the tooth under the eye, which seems straightforward enough. The superstition thing sounds like the usual fake-etymology crap to me, I'm deleting it until someone can come up with a cite (from a scholarly source). Unfortunately this leaves the Pubmed references you added with no place to go in the article (unless you think these rare cases are worth mentioning on their own?). DopefishJustin 08:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Bicuspid & Tricuspid valves in the heart?
"Cuspid" redirects here. I searched for "cuspid" trying to find out what the bicuspid and tricuspid heart valves referred to. Should there be a disambiguation page? Thanks. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 05:35, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't know, because I don't know much about this topic - I only watch this article in case of vandalism. However I've added a note about where to find information on the heart valves. Graham 87 12:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I edited the link to "Mitral valve" to say "Bicuspid valve".  "Bicuspid valve" redirects to "Mitral Valve" anyway, but calling it the "Bicuspid valve" makes it clear how that link relates to this page. --Irrevenant [ talk ] 00:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Deep roots
According to the article, "their roots sink deeply into the bones." Is that why maxillary canines can easily evolve into horns on many ruminants?Lestrade (talk) 23:46, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Lestrade

Narwhals
I've commented out a sentence about narwhals, which seems out of place in an article that begins with "In mammalian oral anatomy". It probably should be either rewritten and moved to the "In non-mammals" section or deleted altogether. — Kpalion(talk) 07:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * But narwhals ARE mammals. Speaking of narwhals: The caption of the image on the left claims that walruses have the longest canines at 1 meter. Should that title not go to the narwhals, whose tusk can reach up to 3 meters? Or are they not counted because only the males have tusks and typically only one? 194.191.244.215 (talk) 17:42, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Beats me? Technically, it is a canine tooth, but I think people often forget that whales, dolphins, and many other sea creatures are in fact mammals because they more resemble fish, so to many RS's it probably never crossed their minds. The miracle of evolution, because it's not random but animals evolve based on their environmental needs. All these sea-dwelling mammals evolved from animals that once walked on land. Seals came from a dog-like ancestor. Whales, ironically enough, evolved from an ancestor of the horse, which have canine teeth themselves (an unusual trait among most ungulates; maybe there's some Jungian archetype in the biblical stories of the unicorn?). I suppose all we need is a good RS to add it to the article, but then again I don't know if it really adds anything other than some trivia. Zaereth (talk) 01:03, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Willie McGinest

William Lee McGinest Jr. (born December 11, 1971) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for 15 seasons, primarily with the New England Patriots. He played college football at USC and was selected fourth overall by the Patriots in the 1994 NFL draft. During his 12 seasons with the team, he was named to two Pro Bowls and won three Super Bowl titles. McGinest also holds the record for postseason sacks. For his accomplishments in New England, he was inducted to the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2015.

Early life and career
The second of four children, McGinest attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School, where he garnered all-state honors in football and basketball. In football, he earned All-American recognition from Super Prep, Blue Chip, and Tom Lemming magazines and was selected to several all-star teams, earning all-city, all-state, and all-region honors as a linebacker in 1989. He totaled 107 tackles, including 18 sacks, two fumble recoveries, four passes defended, including an interception, and blocked four kicks as a senior. In 2009, McGinest was elected to Poly's Football Hall of Fame. On the court, he earned Long Beach Press-Telegram "Best in the West," All-CIF Southern Section and all-league honors while averaging 14 points per game during the 1989-90 season.

College career
From 1990 to 1993, McGinest played football at the University of Southern California. He wore number 55. McGinest earned all-conference honors three straight years and All-American acclaim. During his senior year, he was a Lombardi Award finalist, and earned All-American and All-Pac-10 conference honors. He started every game at weak-side defensive end for the Trojans. McGinest finished his collegiate career with 193 tackles (134 solos), 29 sacks (171 yards), 48 tackles for loss (238 yards), and 26 passes batted away. McGinest received a degree in public administration from USC in 1994.

New England Patriots
McGinest was drafted by the New England Patriots in the first round (fourth overall) of the 1994 NFL draft. He was one of the cornerstones for New England's success in winning the Super Bowl in 2001, 2003, and 2004. He was named to the Pro Bowl twice, in 1996 and 2003. In Super Bowl XXXIX, McGinest was used in a different manner from his regular role. While he usually lined up as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, the Patriots moved him to the defensive line as a defensive end in an effort to keep Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb from scrambling.

In a 2005 wild card playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, McGinest eclipsed two NFL postseason records—most sacks in a game (4.5) and most career postseason sacks (16), surpassing Bruce Smith. His 78 career sacks rank third all time for the Patriots.

The Patriots released McGinest on March 9, 2006.

Cleveland Browns
On March 15, 2006, McGinest signed with the Cleveland Browns, reuniting with head coach Romeo Crennel, who was the Patriots' defensive coordinator during McGinest's stint in New England. McGinest signed a three-year deal worth $12 million with $6 million in guarantees and bonuses. He stated in an interview prior to the 2008 season that he would be playing his final year of professional football before retiring in the offseason. In July 2009, he stated that he would like to end his career with the Patriots. On August 5, 2015, he signed a one-day contract with the Patriots during his Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Patriots franchise records
He has the most fumble return touchdowns (2) (tied with five others).

NFL Network
Following retirement, McGinest joined the NFL Network as a football analyst, and appears on various programs, including NFL Total Access. Prior to joining the NFL Network, McGinest served similar roles at Fox Sports and ESPN. McGinest was suspended from the NFL Network after his 2022 arrest, stemming from an incident in a Los Angeles nightclub.

McGinest was featured on the NFL Network's documentary series A Football Life on October 5, 2018.

1990 assault trial
McGinest and teammates Michael Jones and Jason Oliver were charged with battery and false imprisonment when a female USC student accused them of sexual assault on October 15, 1990. The incident in question occurred on June 20 of the same year. The 23-year-old summer-school counselor said she was dragged into a dormitory room, pinned to a bed, and sexually molested. The players contend the woman entered the room voluntarily and was involved in "horseplay". On June 15, 1991, the three players, including McGinest, were acquitted of all sexual assault and false imprisonment charges.

2016 lawsuit
On September 30, 2016, DeAndre Parks filed a Personal Injury Lawsuit against McGinest. The lawsuit claims that McGinest assaulted Parks and threatened him on multiple occasions. His representative denied the charges and the suit is still pending.

2022 nightclub assault
On December 9, 2022 at the Delilah nightclub in West Hollywood, McGinest and several of his acquaintances physically assaulted a man who was sitting at a table at the lounge. McGinest can be seen in the video beating the victim and striking the man repeatedly in the head with a glass bottle while the victim was on the floor. McGinest was arrested over the incident and charged with felony assault.

Charity work
McGinest established the Willie McGinest Freedom School, a program that aims to provide social and cultural enrichment for neighborhood youth. On May 3, 2005, the city council of Long Beach declared that every year, May 3 will be recognized as Willie McGinest Day in recognition of his charitable efforts and civic involvement. During the 2004 holiday season, McGinest sponsored "Shop with a Jock", an event that gave 50 Boston-area children the opportunity to go on a $100 shopping spree with his teammates and him. He went on to sponsor a similar event in the Cleveland area with Browns teammates.

Business and entertainment ventures
McGinest owns an entertainment company in Los Angeles called 55 Entertainment.

McGinest also appeared on S.W.A.T. in the season-two episode "The B-Team", playing Los Angeles Fire Department firefighter Ryan Cook when the LAFD goes against the Los Angeles Police Department in a charity competition.

He has had cameo appearances in television shows such as Arli$ and The Game, and had a small role as a detective in the film I Tried, with rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. He appeared in the Disney XD show Lab Rats & Scorpion as himself.

Bartrès

Terry Glenn

Terry Tyree Glenn (July 23, 1974 – November 20, 2017) was an American professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, and Dallas Cowboys. He was drafted by the New England Patriots seventh overall in the 1996 NFL Draft. He played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes, earning consensus All-American honors in 1995.

Early life
Glenn never knew his father and his family received public assistance. When he was 13 years old, his mother was beaten to death by a man she had recently met. Glenn was shuttled between relatives until the age of 15, when he was taken in by Charles and Mary Henley, parents of a friend in Columbus, who would serve as his legal guardians. The Henleys' son (June) also played in the NFL and broke some of Gale Sayers' rushing records at the University of Kansas.

He attended Brookhaven High School, where he practiced football, basketball, track and tennis. He didn't play organized football until his sophomore season, becoming a two-way player at wide receiver and cornerback, while also returning kicks. He contributed to the school years. Terry was a AAA State Champion in the 110 Hurdles, and 330 hurdles in both 1989-90.

As a senior in 1991, he was the team's co-captain, registering 14 receptions for 416 yards (29.7-yard avg.) with 4 touchdowns and receiving second-team All-district honors.

College career
Glenn walked-on at Ohio State University, because he grew up admiring the football program, even selling soft drinks at Buckeye games as a teenager. At the time, the team employed a run-oriented offense led by running backs like Raymont Harris and Eddie George.

As a redshirt freshman, he earned a scholarship during spring drills. He saw limited action in 10 games as a backup behind Chris Sanders at flanker, totaling 8 receptions for 156 yards (sixth on the team) with a 19.5-yard average. As a sophomore, he played in 10 games as a backup to both Sanders and Joey Galloway, posting 7 receptions for 110 yards (sixth on the team) with a 15.7-yard average.

He enjoyed a breakout season as a junior after Galloway graduated, starting 12 out of 13 games, sitting out with a separated shoulder against the University of Minnesota. He set school records with 64 receptions for 1,411 yards and 17 touchdowns. He averaged 22 yards-per-reception, which was the highest number among Buckeyes with more than 20 catches in a season. His best game came against University of Pittsburgh, making 9 receptions for 253 yards (school record), a 28.1-yard average, 4 touchdowns and a two-point conversion. He also had 17 rushing yards, 16 yards on punt returns and 29 yards on a kickoff returns, for 315 total yards in the 54-14 victory. At the end of the year, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American and won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the season’s outstanding college football receiver.

Glenn declared for the NFL draft after his junior season. He played in 32 career games (12 starts), finishing with 79 receptions for 1,677 yards (fifth in school history), a 21.2-yard average, 17 touchdowns and 6 carries for 31 yards. He also contributed to the return game with 18 kickoff returns for 399 yards (22.2-yard avg.) and 5 punt returns for 28 yards (5.6-yard avg.).

1996 season
Glenn was selected by the New England Patriots in the first round (seventh overall) of the 1996 NFL Draft. He signed a six-year, $12 million contract. He recorded 90 receptions for 1,132 yards (12.6-yard avg.) and 6 touchdowns in his rookie season, while helping the team reach Super Bowl XXXI.

Patriots head coach, Bill Parcells, was outspoken of his desire to draft a defensive player and how he was overruled by team management. He made his displeasure known referring to Glenn as "she", after he pulled a hamstring two weeks into training camp, that forced him to miss the rest of training camp and the season opener against the Miami Dolphins. Parcells replied to being asked about the rookie's condition, saying: "She's making progress”.

At the time, his 90 receptions were the most ever in a single-season by a rookie in NFL history and the second most in franchise history. He was named the second alternate for the 1997 Pro Bowl.

1997 season
Parcells left New England and Glenn went into a four-year stretch of personal difficulties and inconsistent play. In 1997, he missed 7 games because of an ankle (2 games) and hamstring (5 games) injuries. He had 7 receptions for 163 yards (fifth in team history) against the Green Bay Packers.

In the season he collected 27 receptions for 431 yards (16-yard avg.) and 2 touchdowns. He suffered a broken collarbone in the AFC Divisional Playoff Game loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1998 season
In 1998, Glenn set the Patriots receiving record with 193 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He missed 4 games with a hamstring injury he suffered in the sixth game against the New York Jets. He broke his ankle in the fifteenth game against the St. Louis Rams and was placed on the injured reserve list on December 18. He finished with 10 games (9 starts), 50 receptions for 792 yards (15.8-yard avg.) and 3 touchdowns.

1999 season
In 1999, Glenn led the team with 69 receptions for 1,147 yards (16.6-yard avg.) and 4 touchdowns in 14 games. On October 3, he set the franchise records with 13 receptions for 214 yards against the Cleveland Browns. He was declared inactive for the fifteenth game against the Buffalo Bills because of an illness and he was suspended by the team for the season finale against the Baltimore Ravens.

He had a turbulent season. On November 25, he was cited for speeding and was three hours late for practice. He was later accused of inappropriately touching a woman outside a nightclub the previous night.

On December 29, after missing the fifteenth game against the Buffalo Bills because of the flu, he was suspended for the season finale by head coach Pete Carroll, for failing to show up for treatment.

2000 season
In January 2000, he tested positive for marijuana and entered the NFL's substance abuse program. On November 8, he was signed to a six-year $50 million contract extension with an $11.5 million signing bonus. On December 18, he was given permission to stay in Buffalo with teammates Ty Law and Troy Brown, to avoid flying in bad weather on the condition that the 3 are back in Foxboro the next day for a team meeting. The players were later seen at a strip club in Canada, Law was arrested for possession of ecstasy and they were also late getting to the Monday meeting.

Even with this type of turmoil, he still remained the best wide receiver on the team, making 16 starts for the first time in his career, to go along with 79 receptions for 963 yards (12.2-yard avg.) and 6 touchdowns.

2001 season
In the lead-up to the 2001 season, Glenn kept having a host of off-field issues. First he was arrested for domestic assault in May and although the woman later recanted, the Patriots held back $1 million in payment on his signing bonus (the Patriots ended up withholding $10 million in bonuses). In June, he was excused from the team's minicamp so he could straighten out his personal life.

On August 3, he was suspended the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy after missing a mandatory drug test. He left training camp (it has been speculated it was a pay dispute), forcing the Patriots to send a letter to his agent giving him five days to return or risk additional suspension. He still skipped practices between August 5 and 9. On August 15, he was placed on the reserve/left squad list, risking a season-long suspension.

Glenn did end up playing for the team after serving his suspension, but following injuries and more disputes with the coaching staff, head coach Bill Belichick deactivated him for the rest of the season. He only wound up playing in four games, most notably catching the first career touchdown pass thrown by Tom Brady in a game against the San Diego Chargers on October 14. He was declared inactive in 7 games, was suspended by the team for one game against the New York Jets on December 2 and was later suspended from all of the postseason run to a Super Bowl XXXVI victory, with the Patriots also deciding not to give him a Super Bowl ring. He totaled 14 receptions for 204 yards (14.6-yard avg.) and one touchdown in 4 games.

Green Bay Packers
On March 11, 2002, Glenn was traded to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2002 fourth round pick (#126-Jarvis Green) and a 2003 conditional pick (#128-Bryant McNeal). As part of the deal, Glenn dropped a series of grievances against the Patriots.

In 2002, Glenn was hampered by two knee injuries suffered during training camp. He hyper-extended his right knee in practice on July 29 and later sprained the MCL in his left knee on August 7. The injuries kept him out of two weeks of practice.

Glenn appeared in 15 games (14 starts) alongside Donald Driver, making 56 receptions for 817 yards (14.6-yard avg.) and 2 touchdowns.

Dallas Cowboys
On February 28, 2003, Glenn was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 2004 sixth round draft choice (#188-Andy Lee) reuniting with his former head coach Bill Parcells. He started alongside Joey Galloway, leading the team with 52 receptions for 754 yards (14.5-yard avg.) and 5 touchdowns. He contributed to the team making the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

In 2004, Glenn only played in 6 games, after suffering a sprained right foot in the sixth game against the Green Bay Packers and being placed on the injured reserve list on October 30. He had 24 receptions for 400 yards (16.7-yard avg.) and 2 touchdowns. Quincy Morgan started in his place for most of the season opposite to Keyshawn Johnson.

In 2005, Glenn reunited with quarterback Drew Bledsoe. He finished with 63 receptions for 1,136 yards (his best since 1999), an 18.3-yards average (first in the NFC) and 7 touchdowns. Against the Kansas City Chiefs, he caught a touchdown pass on a flea-flicker and rushed for a touchdown on an end-around, both trick plays. Against the Kansas City Chiefs, he had 6 receptions for 157 yards and one touchdown.

On March 27, 2006, Glenn signed a five-year, $20 million contract extension with the Cowboys. It was Tony Romo's first season as a starter at quarterback, with Glenn playing opposite wide receiver Terrell Owens. He recorded another 1,000 yard season (1,047), 70 receptions and 6 touchdowns. Against the New Orleans Saints, he made 8 receptions for 150 yards.

In 2007, he missed the first fifteen games and was unable to even practice due to a pre-season arthroscopic knee surgery. He returned to practice on December 12, but did not play in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles and did not fly to Carolina for the Week 16 game. He made his season debut in Week 17 against the Washington Redskins, but he didn't record an offensive touch on the year.

On July 25, 2008, Glenn was released by the Cowboys due to health concerns over his right knee, and because he did not sign an injury clause as part of his contract.

Personal life
Glenn had seven children. Glenn was promoted to offensive coordinator for the Texas Revolution of the Champions Indoor Football League on April 3, 2015.

In 2001, Glenn was arrested for assaulting the mother of his son. In 2005, Glenn was arrested for public intoxication and public urination in a Jack in the Box parking lot. Glenn worked on several nonprofit projects with his girlfriend at the time, a Dallas County Law Enforcement officer which targeted Domestic violence awareness. The two later became engaged and continued their work in nonprofit aid as well as the two actively public speaking. Both later separated not citing their reasons for calling off the engagement in 2007, but announced they will remain supportive and present in each other's future endeavors. The two did maintain their friendship, and have been photographed by each other's side years later. In 2009, Glenn was arrested on charges of public intoxication and possession of marijuana. Glenn was arrested in 2010 for auto theft of a rental car.

Death
Glenn died at the age of 43 following a one-vehicle rollover traffic accident on November 20, 2017, in Irving, Texas, near Dallas, which left his fiancee slightly injured. His autopsy showed Glenn’s blood-alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit when he died.

Stavros Lambrinidis

Stavros Lambrinidis (Σταύρος Λαμπρινίδης; born 6 February 1962) is a Greek lawyer and politician, currently serving as Ambassador of the European Union to the United Nations. He was previously Ambassador of the European Union to the United States from March 2019 until December 2023, European Union special representative for human rights from 2012 to 2019 and Minister for Foreign Affairs in Greece from June 2011 to November 2011.

Early life
Lambrinidis was born in Athens on 6 February 1962. After graduating from the Athens College high school, Lambrinidis was admitted to the University of Chicago in 1980 and transferred to Amherst College in 1981, where he received his B.A. degree in economics and political science with the distinctions of magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa and a scholarship for the rest of his studies. He completed his education in 1988 with a J.D. degree from Yale Law School.

At Yale University, Lambrinidis worked as a teaching assistant in the School of Organization and Management and was the managing editor of The Yale Journal of International Law.

Early career
Lambrinidis trained in international trade, transactions and arbitration, as a colleague of Lloyd Cutler (the founder of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in Washington, D.C. and law advisor of the White House during Jimmy Carter's and Bill Clinton's presidencies). He was also president of the Committee for Human Rights in the Bar Association of Washington, D.C..

Lambrinidis's career in Greece started in 1994 as a special advisor to former Prime Minister of Greece and President of the Socialist International George A. Papandreou, and continued as the chief-of-staff of the Minister of Foreign Affairs during Theodoros Pangalos's post in the ministry in 1996. Between 1996 and 1999, he was secretary general of the Greek foreign affairs ministry responsible for diaspora Greeks. He subsequently became an Ambassador at Large of the Hellenic Republic and, in 2000, the director general of the International Olympic Truce Center (International Olympic Committee organization).

During this period, Lambrinidis was a visiting lecturer at the International Olympic Academy in Athens, as well as a lecturer in the Diplomatic and Police Academies of Greece. He was also a guest speaker at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in 2003 and 2004.

European Parliament
Lambrinidis started his career in the European Parliament on 20 July 2004, as a member of the European Parliament for the Greek Social Democratic Party PA.SO.K. A few months later, he was elected as the vice president of the Party of European Socialists and, in April 2005, as head of the parliamentary delegation of Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PA.SO.K.) to the European Parliament.

During this term, Lambrinidis was a vice president of the parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE), as a Member of the Delegation of Relations with the United States, as well as a substitute-member of the Delegation of Relations with Iran and the Committee of the Constitutional Affairs.

In July 2009, Lambrinidis was elected as a Vice President of the European Parliament, while in November 2010, he was a speaker of the European Data Protection and Privacy Conference.

In 2012 as a popular politician, with extensive experience in the diplomatic field, international trade, foreign relations and a political instinct, Lambrinidis was considered the leading candidate for the position of United Nations Under Secretary General for Public Information before the assumption of his European Union duties.

Minister for foreign affairs
Following a cabinet reshuffle on 17 June 2011 in Athens, the prime minister, George A. Papandreou, named Lambrinidis as the new minister for foreign affairs.

A month after assuming his new post, Lambrinidis signed a Cultural Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, on import restrictions for archaeological finds in order to combat the illegal trade of Greek antiquities that have frequently turned up in foreign museums.

As Foreign Affairs Minister of the Hellenic Republic, Lambrinidis visited numerous European countries, to explain the effectiveness of the reforms taking place in Greece and the investment opportunities in the country. During his public engagements, he also made a number of proposals about the establishment of new international instruments to tackle economic inequalities, and to generate funds for economic development projects such as the financial transactions tax, and new political and economic governance instruments that would make the European Union more united, in order to be able to prevent and tackle more effectively future financial crises.

In September 2011, Lambrinidis represented Greece at the 66th General Assembly of the United Nations, while a few days later he was the keynote speaker in the World Leadership Forum, which is annually organized by the Foreign Policy Association.

E.U.S.R. Lambrinidis was succeeded by M.P. Stavros Dimas in November 2011, after an agreement between the parties that participated in the Coalition Government.

Special representative
A long-standing request for a representative that would be in charge of enhancing the effectiveness and visibility of the E.U.'s Human Rights policy, based on the Strategic Framework and Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy (officially adopted on 25 June 2012), led to the creation of the post of the Special Representative of the European Union for Human Rights. The post which is providing a strong, independent, flexible, and sufficiently broad mandate is aimed at increasing the European Union's effectiveness, coherence, and visibility in protecting and promoting human rights in the EU's foreign policy. It covers fields such as the strengthening of all Human rights, Democracy, International Justice, Humanitarian Law, anti-discrimination, and the abolition of the death penalty.

On 25 July 2012, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, appointed Lambrinidis as the first European Union's Special Representative for Human Rights, with a renewable two years mandate.

During his mandate, Lambrinidis has paid official visits for meetings with governments and civil society in numerous countries around the world, including China, Cuba, Myanmar, Bahrain, Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico Morocco, South Africa, Azerbaijan, Russia, Norway, Belarus, the United States, and the United Nations in Geneva and New York. His work has been praised by European Union Foreign Affairs Ministers and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini.

Ambassadorship to the United States
On 4 March 2019, Lambrinidis assumed the post of EU ambassador to the United States. On the day of his ascension, the EU Delegation to the United States was raised in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps' Order of Precedence. The Trump administration had previously lowered the delegation's protocol status to that of international organisations, a tier below the highest level - usually reserved for countries. As a result, Lambrinidis per protocol holds the rank equivalent of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States of America.

Hornsea Mere

Hornsea Mere is the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire, England, and lies to the west of Hornsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The mere was used as a base for the Royal Naval Air Service and then latterly, the Royal Air Force during the First World War.

Description
It covers an area of 467 acre, is 2 mi long, 0.75 mi at its widest point and 12 ft at its deepest. The average depth of the lake is 1.5 m and the mere itself lies only 8 m above sea level. The mere is fed by several small streams and a sluice gate at the eastern end of the mere controls the outflow, which travels only 1.1 km eastwards to the North Sea.

Hornsea Mere is a centre for bird-watching and a tourist attraction offering rowing, sailing, boat trips and fishing. It is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area for birds; it accommodates many species throughout the year, and is of international importance for a migratory population of gadwall. Its shallowness results in a diverse range of swamp and fen plants.

It was featured in the BBC television programme Seven Natural Wonders.

Hornsea Mere is owned by Wassand Hall, situated to the west of the mere, and was purchased by the Hall's estate for £50 in the 16th century.

The mere is the base for Hornsea Sailing Club.

RNAS Hornsea Mere
A Royal Naval Air Service seaplane base was opened on the mere in September 1917. Initially, numbers 248 and 251 squadrons operated from RNAS Hornsea Mere with a headquarters at Killingholme. No. 251 Squadron operated non-water based aircraft so did not actually fly from Hornsea despite being based there.

The RNAS base was located on Kirkholme Nab, a small 6 acre peninsula that sticks out westwards from the eastern shore. The RNAS installed two Bessonneau hangars and two slipways from Kirkholme Nab which allowed a dozen seaplanes to be operated from the base. Various flights flew from here in coastal protection and submarine attack operations. These flights were eventually grouped together to form No. 248 Squadron who were commanded by No. 79 (Operations) Wing (who also commanded No. 251 Squadron, hence their allocation at Hornsea Mere).

A number of brick buildings left behind by the RAF in 1919 are still in use today, employed by the boatyard and the cafe which operate there. Despite being vacated by the RAF, the mere and the former RNAS buildings were used as a starting point for aerial practice runs on the bombing range at RAF Cowden on the East Yorkshire coast.
