Chalcone

Chalcone is the organic compound C6H5C(O)CH=CHC6H5. It is an α,β-unsaturated ketone. A variety of important biological compounds are known collectively as chalcones or chalconoids. They are widely known bioactive substances, fluorescent materials, and chemical intermediates.

Chemical properties
Chalcones have two absorption maxima at 280 nm and 340 nm.

Biosynthesis
Chalcones and chalconoids are synthesized in plants as secondary metabolites. The enzyme chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase, is responsible for the biosynthesis of these compounds. The enzyme is found in all "higher" (vascular) and several "lower" (non-vascular) plants.

Laboratory synthesis
Chalcone is usually prepared by an aldol condensation between benzaldehyde and acetophenone.

This reaction, which can be carried out without any solvent, is so reliable that it is often given as an example of green chemistry in undergraduate education.

Potential pharmacology
Chalcones and their derivatives demonstrate a wide range of biological activities including anti-inflammation. Some 2′-amino chalcones have been studied as potential antitumor agents. Chalcones are of interest in medicinal chemistry and have been described as a privileged scaffold.

Medicinal uses
In medicinal chemistry, chalcones have been used as:
 * antioxidants
 * Anticancer agents
 * antidiabetic drugs
 * antiviral drugs
 * antimalarial drugs and more.

Industrial uses
In chemical industries, they are employed as:
 * liquid crystals
 * fluorescent chemical scaffolds
 * metal sensors
 * corrosion inhibitors
 * plant hormones.

Uses in organic chemistry
Chalcones have been used as intermediates in heterocyclic synthesis, especially in the synthesis of pyrazoles and aurones.

Air Labrador

Labrador Airways Limited, operating as Air Labrador, was a regional airline based at the Goose Bay Airport in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It operated scheduled daily passenger and freight services throughout Labrador and Quebec, as well as charter operations with the options of landing in remote and off strip destinations with skis, wheels and floats. The airline's main base was Goose Bay Airport, with a secondary hub at Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon Airport, Quebec. Its motto was "The Spirit of Flight" (French: "Esprit du vol").

History
The airline was established and started operations in 1948, as Newfoundland Airways operating float-equipped aircraft from a base in Gander, Newfoundland on charter, mail and freight work to northern Newfoundland and Labrador. Since then the base of the company has moved to Goose Bay. It was purchased in 1983 by Provincial Investments Inc., owned by Roger Pike, along with associate company, Labrador Aviation Services Ltd. Air Labrador was owned by the Pike Family, but then taken over by Philip Earle in 2010. Air Labrador conducted a fantasy flight in the 1990s with a Santa Claus visit on board while it taxied the tarmac. In March 2009, the company announced they were ceasing flight service to Montreal due to financial trouble. Airline service ended in Newfoundland in May 2009, two months after announcing the shut down of Montreal operations. The airline later continued to fly within Labrador and Quebec, as well as St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador until its merger in 2017.

On February 3, 2012, the company announced that the Nunatsiavut Government had bought a 51% share in Air Labrador.

In June 2017 Air Labrador merged with Innu Mikun Airlines to form Air Borealis.

Talk:National Student Television Association

Matt'N'Ian TV - An affiliated station
Just so you all know - we are a fully affiliated NaSTA station now. So I added us to the Wikipedia Page. Please dont delete us, we are officially joined now!!

 * That's fair enough - but you shouldn't link to 'BuffTV media encoder' and your names unless there should be an article about them - which there probably shouldn't as they aren't notable enough (Unless either Matt or Ian are quite famous, or BuffTV encoder is a notable piece of software). Bear in mind that the article on NaSTA as a whole barely survived deletion.

 * One more thing, 87.127.73.46, you should never edit other people's comments, it is often considered vandalism. The issue above has been fixed, so a note underneath saying 'now fixed' would be sufficient, rather than deleting most of the comment. I've reverted the edit. -

Sorry, 87.127.73.46

 * I've removed the "references" from Matt'N'Ian's sections; WP:NN requires external references to be independent, which these certainly aren't --JonRSharpe

STOP DELETING THIS. MattNIan qualified as a full station and paid full affiliation fees, and get this, even won three awards. So to say they were not part is just silly, they were part, and even won some. Why you reference a Google Cached page THAT WAS NEVER UPDATED FROM THE 2005 SEASON as your reasoning for removing them is insane. Leave it buddy.

first please place new comments under ones previously made second please sign your comments. now on the matter you raised if you can provide a more recent verifibility reliably sources, then please do so, also i would remind that you should not write about yourself and wait until such time as some one else feels you are notable, particularly in the case of someone who has been repeatedly warned for vandalism. Sherzo 23:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

--Reply--Not been accused of vandalism, ever, if have on this IP, its a shared work IP, so dont accuse me...And apart from photos of ian and matt at the event with awards in hand, and the actual awards themselves, there are no other items of proof because NaSTA 07's online work was virtually non existant so no proof ever went online because of "website lost passwords"

What do you want? A reference to an online photo? Its obvious to me you just dont like seeing that station on that list, everyone who attended NaSTA knows that station attended

well i suggest you register for an account or else you will be labelled as such. as for assertion of membership i have no personally feelings either way, however this is an encyclopedia which means you need a reliable source to back it. Sherzo 13:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

More
Which part of this article are people unsure about? Vanky 22:36, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Not sure but I'm guessing it will be the formation date 83.67.43.64 03:31, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

If you look at the NaSTA website, it seems as if nobody knows the exact formation date... Vanky 12:06, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Action post deletion debate
OK, I'd like to have a stab at a major article rewrite over the next few days, because (as evidenced by the deletion debate) this article doesn't really do NaSTA justice. I doubt that many/any of the station articles themselves will avoid deletion, so I suggest a section on each affiliate station, and a little about the UK student TV scene in general wouldn't go amiss.Tomisaac 22:41, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Right, we now have an infobox and a little more flesh at the start. I've used the 'company' infobox, doesn't quite fit but does the job.temporarily.

To do list:

Categorise the article

Summary of each station

Get rid of the long 'History' table of dates.

Rewrite 'Conference and NaSTA Awards' in encyclopedical style.

Rewrite 'History', or junk it if there's really no reliable information.Tomisaac 23:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Cool, agreed. Maybe we should get a copy of the logo without the purple background too.  As far as the 'summary of each station' goes, I suggest we keep each entry a similar size, include logos wherever possible, and don't mention anything about what awards they've won.

 * Good start on the station sections, i've added a couple more. I'm a bit stuck on History - I've rewritten the stuff about Bournemouth a bit, give it some more context, but other than that, there's no info...Tomisaac 17:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Would it be possible to compile a list of notable former Nasta members? Pete
 * Well, maybe. But lists tend to get far too long and lower the quality of a page IMO. Plus, we just removed the list of former conferences. Can we remove the list of non-affiliated stations? Technically less than half of the student TV stations in the UK are affiliated right now, because nobody has sent off the fees! And is it really relevant who isn't in NaSTA? JMalky 09:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How about (for the moment) including everyone who was affiliated last year in the main list, and including stations who either did not affiliate last year or have never been affiliated as 'other'. That way we'd catch new stations who intend to affiliate this year on the page, and not leave out some major stations who just haven't got around to posting their cheques yet. I think it is worth giving a short mention to non-NaSTA stations, as there are very few of them.Tomisaac 11:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I've just been reviewing the member station section, and several seem misleading at least compared to there own website or are acting as promotional material. i can see you all care about student tv but i think your ignoring th NPOV policy. also are all these stations still active as several sites have not been updated in some time, Bloomsbury for example doesn't appear to have been updated for several years. Sherzo 11:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, could you point to a couple of specifics so we know what to avoid? There are non-active stations, I think they should be pruned. Note that non-active website doesn't mean the station is not running, as they aren't all web-based.Tomisaac 19:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * In addition, I have just heard (on fairly good authority) that Bloomsbury are alive and well (though their website is broken...)Tomisaac 20:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * From what i have seen looking throgh the varies websites and googling them WTV and LS:TV are close to a traditional television station, with lots of programmes which are regularly broadcast, several others are however moving in this direction, wheras others resemble filmmakers clubs. Though GUST has a very interesting model basically it just perpetually produces the same shows year on year. i think a good NPOV wold to give a fair represention of the stations volume and diversity of output, but avoid descriptions of services they provide or how they broadcast unless this is particularly different from the norm. are there any third party verifiable sources on the NaSTA and student tv in the UK? since your good sources is hardly verifiable as the last update on the website was 4 years ago so its been broken for all that time. i appreciate they may not all be web based but if there's no website you need to provide some verifiable sources. I think a section on notable alumni would be useful, highlighting a few former members who've gone on to success in the media. Sherzo 23:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's fair enough, I think Bloomsbury are pretty close to dead - all I have is word of mouth that Bloomsbury had a committee last year, but that's it. But please don't go merely on the basis of the websites - these are **not** online TV stations, the main method of broadcast is on campus cable-based networks. The best way to judge output is to either watch the station in question, or ask someone who watches/makes the programmes what their output is. It's a bit like asking for a source on the content of a film, you really need to watch the film to say 'that's what happens at the end'. Good sources for Student TV in general are a couple of BBC news articles, a lot of local news coverage and a good few (I've got clippings of five) national newspaper articles. Also, University guides often make mention but are light on detail. Notable alumni would be a good section, it's a question of back-tracing the stations from biographies etc - I've got a couple of them lined up for XTV, but I need some for the other stations too before I add it in.Tomisaac 21:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed on the NPOV, but that was bound to happen because folk from the member stations are eager to write their own sections. That kind of thing is easily fixed though. This article has been drastically changed very quickly, so there's bound to be a few problems. Bear with us. JMalky 16:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * ontop of the NPOV issues you also seem to have a bit of an edit war between i what i assume are rivals from different stations. is demon the first of these stations in halls, i can't find any sources on that but i can't equally find anything for YSTV claim that they were first. from what i've seen of the websites most station put up what programmes they do, just if i wanted to find out what shows the BBC or ABC make. I appreciate your point, but everything you put on wiki has to be verifiable, so it should at least reflect whats on there own websites.

I have one suggest have you thought about creating your own wiki? then each station, show etc could have its own page, you could design it on the IMDB lines. Sherzo 23:35, 03 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I simply removed demon from saying that they are the first to broadcast in halls. I am not saying that YSTV was the first, I just know it to be factually incorrect as we have broadcast to halls for longer. As far as I know, I don't need a citation to prove that someting without a citation is false. I am just trying to keep the article factually accurate, not having an edit war - sorry demon :) Ystv 02:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Founding Members
who are the founding members of the organisation, the earliest website on archive.org was for december 96, however its listed as Nasta 95, and the member stations then were, BTV, CTV, GUST, GTV, LUST, Nexus, STOIC, YSTV.are these the found members?
 * Probably not, those are most likely the affiliates at the time of the website being written. The actual formation is some time in the 1970s - I've seen some archive footage of a very informal NaSTA conference from that era - but in true student style, no-one thought to write it down and keep records.Tomisaac 11:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I believe it goes back as far as 1969; the earliest student TV stations seem to date back to about 1967 (YSTV, possibly GUST?) and 1968 (GTV, Nexus). My notes on past NaSTA conferences say "1969 ? Sussex, 1970 ? Plymouth" but I have no idea where that information came from, other than from old newsletters in the NaSTA file in the GTV "office" in about 1997. It does suggest that there were stations in those places at around the time that NaSTA was founded. I also have a fairly solid list of 1980s/90s conferences if anyone's interested. --rbrwr± 21:37, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Name
What does NaSTA actually stand for?

 * National Student Television Association - I think the 'a' from National is added in to make a pronouncable word, rather than 'NSTA' which is kind of hard to say.Tomisaac 11:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Forrest Gust
I think this page solves that particular mystery Vanky 13:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Arwel_Parry/archive_3#Student_TV_memories

Article Quality
Just had a look over the article other than a few g&s mistakes, and few stations POV pushes, it looks good you should be proud. The only changes i think you need, would be to add blurbs for the other affiliated stations. Other than that well done! Sherzo 06:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The current holders of Best Broadcaster for 2007 / 2008 are LS:TV
Surely LS:TV are the best broadcaster 2006-2007, as 2007-2008 hasn't been awarded yet. They have been awarded for their production in the last year, not what they're going to produce.

--Peternewman 16:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Station Articles
Despite the round of deletions a few months back, some stations have either still got articles (GUST, LooseTV), or have new articles (XTV). None of the deleted stations have had articles re-created.

These articles were not linked from the NaSTA page, so I've done them using the 'Main article' notation. By the way, I did not create or edit the XTV article, and I'm going to abstain on saying whether it should exist.

Please do not create advertisement or un notable articles its damages wikipedia. Sherzo 15:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with you on that, and I'm all for removing non-notable articles. I see GUST and XTV have been redirected to NaSTA. One point is that GUST was recently kept after an AFD debate, and that article contained quite a lot of information which is not present in the NaSTA article. As such, I don't believe it should be redirected.

 * If any of the member stations have their own articles, surely they should be linked from the NaSTA page that mentions them. If the member station articles should not exist, surely they should go through the normal process for deletion?Tomisaac 18:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

an AfD would remove the page i am currently of the mind that they are useful as redirected and given the improved quality of this article it is more than capable of carry GUST information in a single paragraph without need for a forked article, {GUST programmes etc are not notable} however i coming to increasingly believe that all the less notable stations should be rolled into on general section since they're are essential the same thing at different unis there is no real need for a {seperate in places quite POV} section on each Sherzo 01:20, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

rewrite and possible re name
I'm think more and more that this article should be rewritten, to actually explain how student tv in the UK is made rather than rattle off a list of station that basically do the same thing with differing degrees of success at different university. Also possibly renamed to student tv in the uk with a section on nasta as there appears to be as many student tv station out of nasta as in it, so its hardly representative of student tv in the UK as a whole. though i am finding it difficult to find any current notable sources without which it maybe the whole article should be deleted or cut down to what is actually verifible. Sherzo 05:41, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Seems fairly reasonable, but I think there is an underlying problem with a lack of consensus and bad edits. Re-directing GUST is at risk of turning in to an edit war, which would be bad. Every now and again we get a POV-push from particular member stations (most recently in LUST). Sources are problematic, true, and although we have enough secondary sources to establish some notability, we can't justify every single statement in the article with out turning to a primary source i.e stations themselves. We also have an issue in that some sources are print media only.

 * The concern with removing the station sections is that without the NaSTA article, stations will want their own article (and I believe many stations are on the fringes of notability), and we'll have a continuous stream of AFDs and no consensus. Can I lay out some alternatives?

 * 1. The status quo, which I understand to be articles on major stations (GUST), NaSTA article linking to them and sections on each station in the NaSTA article.
 * 2. Article called 'UK student TV', with a section on NaSTA, and station sections merged in to their relevant Student's Unions articles and major stations that have been kept by consensus to have their own articles, linked from all relevant articles.
 * 3.Articles on every single station plus NaSTA itself
 * 4. No articles on UK student TV at all.

 * Myself, I'm happy with the status quo and as such I'm going to leave this article well alone for the immediate future. I'm also going to suggest that others do the same, and that JMalky and Sherzo take a break from editing this particular article for a while to avoid any rash edits, whilst we try and build a consensus between us before making any major changes. [User:Tomisaac|Tomisaac]] 09:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC) ->edited later to clarify, previously sounded like an (unintended)attack on JMalky and Sherzo.

I don't think any of the stations individually are notable, as a collective they're notable it the same way that youtube is notable but its individual users aren't. However i think the article misrepresents what Nasta, it lacks sources, and there as many UK student tv station outside it as inside. i think if the article was changed to focusing on student tv the history development and notable people who have been involved in student tv. A section on Nasta, but i don't think each station needs its own section since other than locality very little changes between station in terms of programming or style. out of the options 2 is the probably the best though in regards to merging the individuals stubs i doubt there notable to be on such pages as for GUST it was kept by consensus however the article does not reference its one claim on notability and lacks any information on its history and simple use the unsubstantiated claim of being first as a way to shoehorn an article on the current station and its programming rather that why being first makes it notable. Sherzo 05:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Believe it or not I agree with Sherzo. I'd much rather that the NaSTA article be converted into a 'UK Student Television' article. It does seem to make a lot more sense. There's been a bit of confusion about what NaSTA's role is and the article is a bit misleading. I think this happened because various users (myself included) were bigging it up a little when it was up for deletion. But I think those people who were in favour of keeping the article were more concerned that UK Student TV have a place on Wikipedia, rather than NaSTA per se. So good idea, Tomisaac. As for wether or not individual stations should have their own articles, maybe that could be decided by formally putting the GUST article up for deletion, and using the resulting debate as a sort of precident? JMalky 15:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I think an overall article would be both more representative and easy to research & verify. on the matter of precedent though i feel its better every article be judged individually, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/LUST is the already used precedent. I have put a request for comment to get more input. Sherzo 02:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so are we doing a re-write or not? JMalky 14:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Since you have better access to material, can i suggest you and tomisaac start Sherzo 05:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I do agree that turning the article into one about student TV would make for a more encyclopaedic article, so long as it did not become a directory. It will never stop students from individual universities from creating articles on their station, nor putting POV edits into this one, so the article would need to be watched to ensure that all statements and assertions are sourced. Unsourced statements would be challenged, and then deleted if not verified. If non-notable stations wanted a bit more latitude, unsourced items could arguably be part of the university article - that's not to say that WP:V or WP:NPOV should be ignored. Ohconfucius 10:30, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm up for a rewrite, but I won't be able to start for a while as I am very busy in the 'real world' at the moment. Is there any mechanism for starting rewriting a page in non-main-namespace (user talk pages?) before it is ready to replace the original page? It would seem a shame to redirect NaSTA and all the station pages to 'Student Television in the UK' before we have any decent content.
 * It's done all the time. You can create an article within your own userspace without the constrains of a public article. For instance, you may create one called User:Tomisaac/British student television, work on it (even in collaboration) there, and then move it to a suitable namespace, such as British student television. Only at that stage do we need to think about what to do with the NaSTA article. Ohconfucius 01:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Do what I do and write while you're meant to be working. :D Actually, yeah, I'm busy too. But I'm sure we'll get round to it in good time. I'm more worried about settling the GUST debate at the moment anyway. As for starting the new page, I suppose we could use this talk page as a sandbox. And of course, we don't really have to delete/re-direct the NaSTA article until the new page is of a decent standard, provided we do it reasonably quickly. JMalky 15:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I would agree that the this article shouldn't be removed until a new was is suuficiently developed, since i am relatively unbusy if you'd like to provide me with any useful resources on constructing this article, i could have a go at writing a first draft Sherzo 19:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite draft copy
OK, I've started something at a sub-page in my userspace which is still full of notes and tags, but it's a start. Feel free to have a go at it everybody!Tomisaac 13:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Polheim

Polheim ("Home at the Pole") was Roald Amundsen's name for his camp (the first ever) at the South Pole. He arrived there on 14 December 1911, along with four other members of his expedition: Helmer Hanssen, Olav Bjaaland, Oscar Wisting, and Sverre Hassel.

Calculations
At the first estimated position of the South Pole, Amundsen declared "So we plant you, dear flag, on the South Pole, and give the plain on which it lies the name King Haakon VII's Plateau." Both the Norwegian and Fram's flag were planted.

Due to the historical disputes over the claims of polar explorers prior to Amundsen's expedition, particularly the competing claims of Frederick Cook and Robert Peary to have reached the North Pole first, Amundsen took special care in making his polar observations.

Approaching the Geographic South Pole (or North Pole) the meridians of longitude converge, eventually making a measure of longitude meaningless, as a degree of longitude will become smaller and smaller. At the pole itself, assuming one has accurate enough instruments, all meridians meet. Amundsen reasoned that the extra effort in obtaining longitude could be saved, and he focused on latitude. Amundsen had adopted this strategy after attending a lecture at The Royal Geographical Society in London in November 1909, given by the British astronomer and geographer, Arthur Robert Hinks. In his lecture on Surveying and Cartography at Cambridge University, Hinks put forward this theory when discussing the subject of determining positions near the Pole.

With the instruments he had, Amundsen estimated that he could determine the position of the pole by no better than a nautical mile (1.85 km). In order to ensure that there was no doubt that his expedition had in fact reached the South Pole, he determined to encircle, or "box" the pole.

Three members of the expedition were sent out from the current estimated position of the pole, one continuing on the current expedition track and two at right angles to this direction. Each skier continued 10 mi and erected a spare sledge runner with a black flag and note for Robert Falcon Scott when and if he arrived. Scott did not arrive until more than a month later. The note contained the position to Amundsen's camp.

While the skiers erected the encircling markers, Amundsen took altitudes of the sun for fixing his position. Since his theodolite had been damaged, observations were made with a sextant, the sun slowly circling the camp in 24 hours, and never setting.

From these calculations, Amundsen determined that their current position was approximately 5.5 mi from the mathematical South Pole point. This point had been "boxed" by the skiers.

On 17 December Amundsen proceeded to his estimate of the true South Pole position, and took additional observations for 24 hours, two men standing watch for each observation, and co-signing each other's navigation books. Again, this was to ensure that there was no doubt as to the expedition attaining the pole. Four out of the five men in the polar party were trained navigators, Olav Bjaaland being the only one without such training.

From these calculations, it was determined that they were still 1.5 mi from the pole, and two men were sent to erect additional pennants.

Finally, Amundsen added still more pennants to cover the remaining area. In this way, the pole had been boxed three times all told.

The official expedition camera had been damaged en route to the pole, so the only photographs taken were from an amateur camera brought by expedition member Olav Bjaaland.

On 18 December 1911, Amundsen's expedition left Polheim, leaving behind his reserve tent, along with a letter for Scott and a letter intended for Scott to deliver to King Haakon VII in case Amundsen failed to return. Both letters were later found with the bodies of Scott and his companions, and were further proof that Amundsen had attained the pole.

When Amundsen's calculations were verified, it was found that his final camp lay within 2.3 km (2500 yards) of the mathematical South Pole. In addition, it had been ascertained that expedition member Helmer Hanssen—one of the expedition members who had been skiing in a grid pattern between the 'box' markers—came to within 180 m of the mathematical South Pole on one of his runs.

The tent
The tent has not been seen since Scott's party left it in January 1912. Determining the present location of Amundsen's tent requires consideration of the precision of Amundsen's navigation in 1911, the flow of ice since then, and the amount of burial by intervening snow fall. The present location of the tent (as of December 2011) has been calculated to be 89° 58′ 51″ S, 46° 14′ E, with around 300 m uncertainty in the position. It probably lies 17 m below the present snow surface.

 * 23:20, Feb 25, 2005 Rich Farmbrough deleted List of Exits (Interstate 83) (Vfd, 18th Feb and has been merged)

List of Exits (Interstate 83)

 * Isolated as the only Wikipedia article that lists exits this way; does anyone plan to create similar articles for other 1- and 2-digit interstates?? Georgia guy 22:38, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Patently un-encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a roadmap. Delete. Radiant! 22:47, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not Mapquest. I do not want to see hundreds (thousands?) of articles detailing every exit of every highway. If you feel it's really necessary to have this info on WP, put it on the Interstate 83 article. Carrp | Talk 22:47, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, no. Delete for reasons stated. - Lucky 6.9 23:30, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge into Interstate 83. We have lists of train stations, why not freeway exits? --SPUI (talk) 23:51, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * For the record, I was not the creator of this article; I simply disambiguated a link, causing it to show up in RC. Next time I'll leave the undisambiguated link there; that way you won't even know it exists and we'll all be happier. --SPUI (talk) 01:02, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Interstate 83. —Korath (Talk) 23:55, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete'. Unencyclopedic. We have articles on train stations because they are important, often old and historic buildings that are a major feature of most cities, as well as being meeting places for thousands of people. An exit is a quarter mile of pavement. -R. fiend 00:21, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * We have 'major roads intersected' listed in some road articles. We have 'communities served'. This is just the extension of those. --SPUI (talk) 01:00, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I would not want to know how long the exit page for Interstate 90 would be (since it is the longest interstate going from Boston to Seattle). Zzyzx11 00:30, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * It would be split into many parts (major parts of I-90 are toll roads, with their own articles). --SPUI (talk) 01:04, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I wish people would stop being so creative on what Wikipedia ought to be, and just write boring encyclopedia articles. Wikipedia isn't a raodmap.  I don't think ports, airports, train stations, and even subway stops are all terribly notable, but at least many of them have an architecturally notable building and a history, and many of them are important gathering places.   Freeway exits are just a bit of road that connects one road to another road, and it is hard to see anything notable about them at all. --BM 00:42, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Which is why we don't have an article for each interchange. --SPUI (talk) 01:00, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a road map. Megan1967 00:43, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Please, someone tell me what the fuck "Wikipedia is not a road map" is even supposed to mean. Does this look like a road map? No, it's a list. This list should be expanded to include old exit numbers, and details about the interchanges (like opening dates) - certainly not stuff that would be on a road map. --SPUI (talk) 01:00, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - basically unuseful list in the context of Wikipedia, with no potential to ever become useful. -- Cyrius|✎ 00:46, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge into Interstate 83. Jonathunder 05:34, 2005 Feb 19 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedia is not consistent. Rhobite 05:35, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you may have just stumbled upon Wikipedia's unofficial motto. -R. fiend 06:05, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * If Wikipedia was following more what paper encyclopaedias do (eg. Britannica, World Book, etc), then the guidelines for adding or removing material would be more strict. Alas since the catchcry has always been "Wikipedia is not paper", it is a free-for-all on anything and everything, which is where the problem is. VfD can only do so much or so little in the face of "populist" articles at the expense of genuine encyclopaedic ones. Megan1967 07:26, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge per spui. Since wikipedia is not paper, one type of article does not exist at the expense of another. Kappa 09:39, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * They do though, Kappa. VfD is a process of electing to keep (or delete) articles not by merit alone but by which article/s can gather the most support either way. Articles up for VfD are thus subject to not whether they are just encyclopaedic but whether they can receive the most amount of popular support, even if the article is perfectly valid in other encyclopaedias. I am willing to bet that over a period of a few years Wikipedia will become the largest sex and entertainment "encyclopaedia" on the internet, while anyone wanting to do research on let's say a botanist who discovered a certain species in the Far East won't find it here because it wasn't popular enough for inclusion/retention. Megan1967 10:20, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * But the botanist will be deleted (unfortunately) regardless of whether people show up and vote to keep entertainment articles.
 * Strong disagree with Rhobite and Kappa. Wikipedia is neither paper nor consistent, but those arguments are equally valid (or invalid) for inclusion of everything. Since it has already been established that WikiPedia should not contain everything, you'll have to come up with a better reason for keeping this particular article. Radiant! 09:54, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: My reason to keep this article is the same as Spui's, and because it's useful for navigation, a bit like a road itself. Kappa 10:51, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I was responding to Georgia Guy's suggestion that this article should only be kept if a similar one is written for every other interstate. I think that's a silly, invalid reason to delete information. The reason I voted to keep this article, on the other hand, is because it is verifiable and useful information. That's pretty much all I need to see in order to vote "keep". My definition of "useful" may not be the same as yours. I hope this reason satisfies you. Rhobite 06:35, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes it is. And for what it's worth, I agree that it's useful (and, obviously, verifiable). However, I do not think it's encyclopedic. For instance, a list of phone numbers is very useful, and for that we have phonebooks. A list of local supermarkets is useful, and for that we have the yellow pages. And a list of interstate exits is useful, and for that we have roadmaps. None of the three are very useful to people who don't live at that particular place. You don't look in an encyclopedia for navigation, you look there for valuable knowledge. Radiant! 10:11, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Verifiability is also not the same as encyclopedic. Most things that are verifiable (such as our local swimming pool) do not belong in an encyclopedia. And many things that are not verifiable (such as the existence of UFOs) do belong here. Radiant! 10:11, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Concur with BM, Wikipedia is not a roadmap. Should we have a separate list with exits for every road in every country of the world here, then translate it into every language Wikipedia hosts? For every road in the US, for that matter? What makes Interstate 83 so special it deserves an individual article about its exits? What is so notable about its exists that makes such a topic encyclopedic? Below the bar. vlad_mv 06:11, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * We already have this information for some roads (like Florida's Turnpike); it's just in a separate article here. --SPUI (talk) 06:21, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Exactly. My point was that Interstate 83 is not notable enough to deserve a separate article for its exits - except for a few very very famous roads, which would be, anyway? I would vote keep and merge to Interstate 83 if enough information was provided to sustain the claim that it is worth a list of its exists in a heading. vlad_mv 06:39, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, I think I'm going to merge it now; when this VFD is done it can be deleted or redirected. --SPUI (talk) 06:45, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The general principle here is that it is stupid to hand-copy and hand-maintain tiny, tiny percentages of the available information in categories of information which are available at no cost on the Internet from complete, reliable, and frequently updated databases. Why should anyone go to Wikipedia for information that, for the foreseeable future, can be much, much better obtained elsewhere? Dpbsmith (talk) 23:13, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, maybe the catch phrase of Wikipedia should be "Wikipedia is everything and nothing, simultaneously". -- Riffsyphon1024 10:03, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redir to preserve history of merged content. Niteowlneils 20:19, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Sturgeon River (Lake Nipissing)

The Sturgeon River is a river that springs near Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park in the Timiskaming District in Ontario, Canada. It flows 140 mi in a mostly south-easterly direction through Sudbury and Nipissing Districts before it empties into Lake Nipissing on the north shore. The town of Sturgeon Falls is located on the river about 3 km north of its mouth.

The river is provincially significant recreational river with some 65 sets of rapids, mostly rated CI and CII that can be run all season.

Ontario Power Generation operates a hydroelectric plant on the river at Crystal Falls. From 1848 to 1879, the Hudson's Bay Company operated a fur trading post called Sturgeon River House at the mouth of this river (now turned into a local museum). Up until the middle of the 20th century, the river was used to transport logs to sawmills on Lake Nipissing. The lower part of the river is prone to flooding. In 1979 the area around the community of Field experienced a disastrous flood that prompted all residential homes to be relocated.

The upper (northerly) part of the Sturgeon River is protected in the Sturgeon River Provincial Park. This park consists of 79.85 km2 of protected wilderness stretched out along the river banks without any visitors facilities present. It is managed by Ontario Parks.

Geography
The river features a continually changing landscape, from the Temagami highlands, with bedrock outcrops and long slender lakes to narrow river channels, rapids and shallows, eventually turning to sandy shores.

Tributaries

 * Smokey Creek
 * Tomiko River
 * Pike River
 * McCarty Creek
 * Hebert Creek
 * Temagami River
 * Azen Creek
 * Wawiashkashi Lake (Grassy Lake)
 * Manitou River
 * Kabikotitwia River (Ess Creek)
 * Obabika River
 * Chiniguchi River (Murray Creek)

+ very many nameless creeks

Hydroelectricy
The Sturgeon River system contains 7 dams and 2 hydroelectric power stations (Crystal Falls and West Nipissing).

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Numanuma

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was no consensus. Page kept. Keep:8.5, merge:5.5, delete:8;

Numanuma
Is there really a systemic bias towards internet memes and articles which gravitate towards subjects that appeal to children in their late teens and early twenties on Wikipedia? Take this article for example; considering that a number of articles on local politicians, independent films, and university professors are deleted from Wikipedia on a continuous basis, is this meme really that noteworthy? More notable than a Chicago Alderman, a Councillor of Toronto, an adult film star, or a published author? If your answer to this question is "yes", why? For the benefit of others, please explain your vote. GRider\talk 22:44, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the question is whether this is a fad, or whether it's still a valid meme a year from now. "All your base" has been around forever, but many young memes simply die out. Arguably there's only room for a limited amount of memes in the consensual mind. Radiant! 22:49, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes. There really is that level of systemic bias toward internet memes. That's because while wikipedians might come from different countries and different beliefs the one thing ALL and I mean ALL wikipedians have in common is the Internet. ParkingStones 18:36, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Well... it was mentioned in the news (google news) and "numa-numa" has 56,000 google hits. Which means that it has a better notoriety than the Toronto Councillor. Bogdan | Talk 23:11, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * BTW, it was mentioned on New York Times. Bogdan | Talk 23:25, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Does notoriety equate to being encyclopedic? Is Wikipedia's purpose to be an online guide to internet memes, or a "serious" Wikipedia?  Which is it?  GRider\talk 23:39, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Judging by the result of the deletion attempts of Gay Nigger Association of America article, so it seems. Bogdan | Talk 23:47, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, what's worth saying can be said on the song's page. Gazpacho 23:55, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Wikipedia is vast. It can contain multitudes. Getting too constricted is always a mistake. If the meme fades the requests will fade. This isn't a paper moon or a paper tiger or a paper encyclopedia. It is not so finite. It can let things in that seem to have no lasting significance at the time. Time will take care of interest. What if this kid becomes a New Jersey state senator in 10 years? Stranger things have happened.
 * unsigned vote not counted. Mikkalai 19:42, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Since the above argument can be applied for keeping literally everything, it's not particularly useful or valid. It has already been established that WP should not contain everything. Radiant! 09:52, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I trust this enthusiasm for keeping every scrap of data that comes into Wiki will be met by a healthy donation to the fundraiser. Wikipedia may not be paper, but servers cost money too. BTW, this is Denni, not logged in. 68.148.200.153 17:28, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The images cost money to store and, especially, to transmit. (IMO) The cost of these smaller articles is trivial. WpZurp 03:42, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete . merge. No other notability but being a circulated piece of joke for some time. But I have to amdit that this one has something more in it than many others making faces into a webcam. Mikkalai 00:36, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 00:44, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, i've seen this video and while it is popular it's a case of, if this is allowed, then isn't any overweight 19 year old singing karaoke into a webcam allowed too? The person who done this video has also been added to Wikipedia as an individual too, that may also be a candidate. - Furthermore, it's hits on Google are mainly through 'funny video' sites which have added it, and not through sources of legitimate meaning. If every George Bush spoof video was added the database would go into meltdown. Hedley 02:19, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The only way I believe that this page could be merged is if as a sentence in the text for the song itself. There already is a sentence on this in the text on the song, though, so it's pointless to merge at all. Hedley 17:26, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Mother Earth News

Mother Earth News is a bi-monthly American magazine that has a circulation of 500,520. It is published in Topeka, Kansas.

Since its founding, Mother Earth News has promoted renewable energy, recycling, family farms, good agricultural practices, better eating habits, medical self-care, more meaningful education and affordable housing. The magazine approaches environmental problems from a down-to-earth, practical, simple living, how-to standpoint.

History
Founders John and Jane Shuttleworth started the magazine on a "shoestring" budget of $1500, published from home in 1970. The first issue was published in January of that year.

(John Shuttleworth died on March 29, 2009, at his home in Evergreen, Colorado, at the age of 71. )

The magazine was originally published in Madison, Ohio, and moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina, later. The headquarters is in Topeka, Kansas. It had a scrappy, no-frills style and appearance throughout the 1970s. Mother Earth News embraced the revived interest in the back-to-the-land movement at the beginning of the 1970s, and combined this with an interest in the ecology movement and self-sufficiency. Unlike many other magazines with ecological coverage, Mother Earth News concentrated on do-it-yourself and how-to articles, aimed at the growing number of people moving to the country. As a result, the magazine thrived throughout the 1970s. There were articles on home building, farming, gardening, and entrepreneurism, all with a DIY approach. The subject matter of the articles ranged widely into such subjects as geodesic domes, hunting, food storage, and even a regular column on amateur radio. Alternative energy was a frequent topic covered in the magazine, with articles on how to switch to solar power and wind power, and how to make a still and run your car on ethanol.

A series of "Plowboy Interviews" (a jokey nod to "Playboy Interviews") was also a regular feature, which included interviews of environmental leaders and others. With its left-of-center perspective, The Mother Earth News attracted a wide readership, not only of back to the landers but also others ranging from hippies, to survivalists, to suburban dwellers who dreamed of someday moving to the country, to long-time rural dwellers who found the DIY articles useful.

In the March–April 1975 issue of the magazine, Issue No. 32, John Shuttleworth said in the second installment of the Plowboy Interview:

"For at least 20 years now, I've been getting an increasingly uncomfortable suspicion that all the major nations of the world — capitalist and communist — suffer from the narrow delusion that only people, and people alone, have any rights on this planet. Further, that human wants, needs, and desires — seemingly the more capricious the better — should be instantly gratified. And further still, that this can always be done in a strictly economic frame of reference.

'In short, I think that we live in an unbelievably marvelous Garden of Eden. Surrounded by miraculous life forms almost without number. Kept alive by a mysteriously interwoven, self-replenishing support system that, with all our scientific 'breakthroughs,' we still do not understand.

'And yet, as favored as we are by all this real wealth, we somehow perversely prefer to spend almost all waking hours interpreting the sum total of this reality in terms of the narrow and distorted, strictly human-centered concept of money.'"

In 1979 editor Bruce Woods and two other employees bought the magazine from the Shuttleworths. The Eco-Village, a 600-acre (240 ha) research center, was in full swing with vast experimental gardens, houses, and energy projects. Each summer 20,000 people took Mother Earth News seminars on everything from beekeeping to cordwood construction. A radio show shared the magazine's philosophies on hundreds of stations nationwide and alternative fuel vehicles carrying the Mother Earth News logo criss-crossed the country.

The magazine flagged somewhat with the declining popularity of the back to the land movement in the early 1980s. Eventually, it was sold to the New American Company in 1986, who redesigned it with a much slicker image and repositioned it as "The Original Country Magazine." A number of employees of Mother Earth News left the magazine at this time to start BackHome Magazine. New American stopped publishing its magazines, and sold them to Sussex Publishers in 1991. The magazine survived, and grew through the late 1990s and the first half-decade of the 21st century. Notable gardener Ira Wallace was the mid-Atlantic correspondent during the 1990s. Sussex Publishers in New York City owned the magazine until 2001, when it was acquired by its current owners, Ogden Publications.

In 2010, the magazine celebrated its 40th anniversary. The February–March issue included articles from the magazine's previous 40 years.

In 2020, the magazine celebrated its 50th anniversary, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Each magazine issue that year contained content about the 50-year history of the title. Controversy hit the magazine in August, when they received public criticism from authors such as Chris Newman, for their lack of diversity in authors and representation. Ogden initially responded stumblingly, but has since embraced numerous initiatives to diversify its content, audience, and staff.

Lake Chapala

Lake Chapala (Lago de Chapala, ) has been Mexico's largest freshwater lake ever since the desiccation of Lake Texcoco.

It borders both the states of Jalisco and Michoacán, being located within the municipalities of Ocotlán, Chapala, Jocotepec, Poncitlán, and Jamay, in Jalisco, and in Venustiano Carranza and Cojumatlán de Régules, in Michoacán.

Geographic features
It is located at 20.33333°N, -103°W, 45 km southeast of Guadalajara, Jalisco, and is situated on the border between the states of Jalisco and Michoacán, at 1,524 metres (5000 feet) above sea level. Its approximate dimensions are 80 km from east to west and averages 12.5 km (7.8 miles) from north to south, and covers an approximate area of 1100 km2.

It is a shallow lake, with a mean depth of 7 m and a maximum of 10.5 m. Located in one of the youngest geological areas of the American continent, the age of Lake Chapala has been established by means of carbon-14 dating of wood samples encountered in the sediments. These specimens indicate an age of 38,000 years, establishing the lake as occurring in late Pleistocene time, a geological epoch that spanned 1,000,000 to 25,000 years ago.

It is fed by the Río Lerma, Río Zula, Río Huaracha, and Río Duero rivers, and drained by the Rio Grande de Santiago. The water then would normally flow northwest into the Pacific Ocean. No water has flowed out of the lake in over 30 years due to a fall in the supply of incoming water from the Lerma River.

Islands
The lake contains three small islands: Isla de los Alacranes (most visible from the town of Chapala), Isla Mezcala (the largest island, featuring an old Spanish fort and an old Mexican prison), and a third very small island next to Isla Mezcala called La Isla Menor.

Mountains
There are many mountains and sierras that surround Lake Chapala: Cerro Viejo-Chupinaya-Los Sabinos (Sierra San Juan Cosalá), Cerro San Miguel-Chiquihuitillo, Cerro San Bartolo-Los Ocotes, Cerro Gomeño, Cerro de García-Del Picacho-El Gachupín (Sierra del Tigre).

Ecology
The city of Guadalajara has relied on Lake Chapala as a principal source of water since the 1950s. Shortly after, a few consecutive years of poor rainfall dramatically decreased the water level of the lake. The level rebounded until 1979, when Lake Chapala's water level began rapidly decreasing due to increases in urban water consumption.

Erosion due to deforestation along the lake as well as the Lerma River has led to increased sedimentation of the lake, also contributing to loss of lake depth. The shrinking depth has also raised the lake's average temperature, resulting in increased evaporation.

Simultaneously, the waters of Lake Chapala are polluted by municipal, industrial and agricultural wastes, coming primarily from the Lerma River. The increased presence of nutrients from the pollution combined with the warmer water has been a boon to an invasive species of water hyacinth.

The increase in water pollution has had devastating effects on the ecology of the lake. Fish stock has decreased dramatically and some endemic species (e.g. certain Chirostoma) are on the verge of extinction. Contaminated fish stock has also posed a serious threat to the health and livelihoods of people who depend on the fish for food.

The drop in the lake's water level has uncovered political issues that had been hidden for many years. Its fast decay has raised concern in the surrounding areas and in the scientific community. It was the Global Nature Fund's "Threatened Lake of the Year" in 2004.

By 2007 and 2008, the level of Lake Chapala had increased drastically, though the levels have yet to surpass the level in 1979, when the levels began a precipitous decline. Although it is still subject to agricultural, domestic, and industrial sources of contamination, the actual levels of hazardous materials has not been officially assessed with regularity.

Although water level and quality improved due to water treatment plants along the Lerma river, in 2017 the water quality of Lake Chapala was assessed as a risk to public health.

In July 2022, the Lake Chapala water level was at 63.63% of capacity, down from 81.68% in 2018 and 66.66% in 2017.

Habitat and species

The lake is a critical habitat for several species of migratory birds, such as the American white pelican, and home to thousands of indigenous plants and animals. The Audubonistas de Laguna de Chapala holds an annual Audubon Society sponsored Christmas Bird Count. In 2006, some 117 species were identified and, in 2007, the count was 125. By January 2011, some 173 species were recorded.

The subspecies chapalaense of the rough-footed mud turtle is largely restricted to Lake Chapala, while the more widespread subspecies murrayi inhabits the Lerma River basin (and some other regions in northern Mexico). The essentially harmless, semi-aquatic obscurus subspecies of the Mexican garter snake is restricted to the lake.

In addition to the Chirostoma ("charales") species flock of fish, the lake and associated rivers are home to many other endemics, including several goodeids, a few Algansea chubs, two Tetrapleurodon lampreys, two Ictalurus catfish, the Chapala chub (Yuriria chapalae) and more. Several of these are highly threatened. Other aquatic species found only in the lake and associated water systems are four cambarid crayfish: Cambarellus chapalanus, C. lermensis, C. prolixus and Procambarus digueti.

Communities
There are numerous towns and cities along the coast of Lake Chapala, including San Juan Tecomatlan, Chapala, Ajijic, San Antonio Tlayacapan, Jocotepec, San Juan Cosala, San Luis Soyatlán, Mezcala de la Asunción, Tizapan El Alto, La Palma, Michoacán and Ocotlán.

According to Tony Burton in his book, "Lake Chapala through the ages: an anthology of traveller’s tales", westerners have been interested in Lake Chapala since Spanish Conquistadors first arrived uninvited in 1530. Lake Chapala tourism started in the 19th century and steadily pick up in the early 20th century. Beginning in the 1950s, because of the pleasant climate and attractive scenery, a substantial colony of retirees, including many from the United States and Canada, have been established along the lake's shore, particularly in the town of Ajijic, located just west of the city of Chapala but also in many other towns like San Nicolas De Ibarra, San Juan Tecomatlan and Tlachichilco Del Carmen. An estimated 30,000 foreign residents live along the shores of Lake Chapala.

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Steve Morse.

Steven J. Morse is a rock guitarist, best known for his position as guitarist in the Dixie Dregs. His career has encompassed rock, country, funk, jazz, classical, and fusions of these genres. In addition to a thriving solo career, he has enjoyed a brief stint with Kansas and has worked with Deep Purple since 1994.

Biography
Morse was born July 28, 1954 in Hamilton, Ohio. His father was a minister and his mother a classically trained pianist, both psychologists. The family moved to Tennessee, then Ypsalanti, Michigan where Morse spent his childhood. Although familiar with piano and clarinet, he became interested in guitar and his real musical career began. He worked briefly with his brother Dave in a band called The Plague until the family moved to Augusta, Georgia. Enrolled in Richmond Academy, he met bassist Andy West and together they formed the nucleus of Dixie Grit, adding keyboardist Johnny Carr, guitarist and vocalist Frank Brittingham with Dave Morse drumming. However, this effort was shortlived, since covering Led Zeppelin, Cream and the like limited their ability to get higher-paying dance gigs. West and Morse continued to play as a duet billed as the Dixie Dregs until Morse's expulsion from school in the 10th grade for refusing to cut his hair enabled his enrollment at University of Miami's School of Music.

During the 1970's, The University played host to a number of future influential musicians, including Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorious, Bruce Hornsby and others. Andy West soon enrolled and with Morse collaborated in a lab project entitled Rock Ensemble II, along with drummer Bart Yarnall, keyboardist Frank Josephs and violinist Allen Sloan. Rehearsing and performing

Morse's compositions at school brought some attention to his credibility as a composer. The group compiled a recording used for promotional efforts in 1975. This recording was eventually released as The Great Spectacular in 1997.

Dixie Dregs
Upon Morse's graduation in 1975, he and West officially named the group Dixie Dregs. A fellow alumnus, Rod Morgenstein replaced the injured Bart Yarnall and the band commenced performing on a very regular basis, interspersing their compositions with covers of McLaughlin and southern rock gems. Despite their decidedly non-commercial intent, an increasingly heavier performance schedule eventually led to the attention of Capricorn Records recruiters and in late 1976 the group was signed by the vaunted southern rock label.

Their first effort for Capricorn (Free Fall) established Morse as an important newcomer to the fusion genre not only for his compositional skills but for his consummate musicianship. Considered a pivotal jazz fusion piece in a genre gone cold, his tunes are bright, complex and fresh. Critically acclaimed, the album showed little commercial promise and in 1978, What If was released. Widely considered The Dixie Dregs finest album, Morse's playing had matured into something a bit more than what defined fusion at the time. Southern rock, classical, folk and country elements combined to form a cohesive and complex pastiche of passionate and highly listenable music. Though supported by a tour, record sales remained flat but gained Morse and the boys an invitation to perform at Montreux Jazz Festival July 23, 1978. The recorded performance was released the following year on Night of the Living Dregs. Capricorn bellied up in late 1979, and the Dixie Dregs were stranded without a label.

Enter Arista, who signed the band to record 3 albums in 1979. Production control was handed to Morse and Dregs of the Earth was released in May, 1980. All 8 tracks were written by Morse and the album peaked at number 27 on Billboard's Jazz Album Chart. Arista became increasingly concerned about Dixie Dreg's album sales and pressured the band to change their name to simply "The Dregs" in an attempt to address the band's visibility in the public eye. Unsung Heroes brought an additional 8 Morse compositions forward in early 1981, but the name change did little to address Arista's worries. The Dregs were compelled to add lyrics to their next effort, appropriately titled Industry Standard (1982), an apparent reference to executive and management oversight of the creative process. Despite this, Morse's compositions on Industry Standard are often considered more akin to his evolving solo work than Dregs collaborations and the album stands out to critical and public praise.

Industry Standard was voted Best Guitar LP by readers of Guitar Player Magazine in their Annual Reader's Poll that year. Additionally, Morse was voted Best Overall in the same poll, an honor that he would enjoy for 5 consecutive years (until, it is rumored that he was banned from further competition).

Steve Morse Band
Having fulfilled their commitment to Arista, the band succumbed to the pressures of constant gigging and disbanded in early 1983 and Morse began putting together the Steve Morse Band, a trio with Jerry Peek (bass) and Doug Morgan (drums). Rod Morgenstein soon replaced Morgan, and they began recording The Introduction in September. The group toured Germany in early 1984 with Morse conducting clinics and the group was signed by Elektra, who released The Introduction mid-year. A second German tour began in December, 1984 and Stand Up was released in 1985. This effort included guest vocalists and guitarists (Eric Johnson, Alex Ligertwood, Peter Frampton, Albert Lee, Van Temple), and violinist Mark O'Connor. The Steve Morse Band opened for a Rush tour starting in December, 1985 with Terry Brock on vocals in support of the album, but by early 1986 the group had disbanded. Morse toured briefly as a solo act from March until June.

Kansas
Morse joined Kansas for a new album (Power) in mid-1986. He had worked on Walsh's first solo effort (Schemer-Dreamer) after Walsh had left Kansas 6 years earlier over creative differences and Walsh's return signaled a fresh start for the band. Kansas toured in support of the album in early 1987. After Morse performed at Montreux Jazz Festival, he scaled back his musical career and got a job flying passenger airplanes for a southern regional airline. Continuing his musical projects on the side proved challenging considering Morse's notoriety. Voted first in the Overall and Country categories in Guitar Magazine's 1986 Readers Poll had shown that although Morse was not a household name, his mastery of the guitar had not gone unnoticed.

Morse's entry into the mainstream job market was short-lived, and he remained as busy as ever. He performed with Lynyrd Skynyrd in late 1987, The Dregs reunited for a tour in mid-1988 and Morse continued in the recording studio with Kansas. ''In the Spirit of Things" was released later that year, followed by a tour in early 1989. Meanwhile, Morse was ramping up his solo efforts, culminating in 'High Tension Wires' (1989) with a new Steve Morse Band (Dave LaRue on bass, Van Romaine on drums). He quit Kansas and toured in support of his effort.

Solo Work
The start of the '90's marked a prolific and creative period for Morse. Through 1995, Steve Morse Band continued to release albums, and the Dregs reunited in 1994 for their first album containing original tunes in over 10 years.

Deep Purple
In 1994, Deep Purple was left without a guitarist when Ritchie Blackmore quit the band in the middle of a tour. Joe Satriani served as a quick replacement to finish the tour, but Morse was invited to audition. Their first album together (Purpendicular) was released in early 1996 and Morse contributed to the band's writing credits.

In 2003 Steve together with Jimmy Barnes, Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake and Don Airey started the Living Loud Band in a self titled tour (and album).

Secreto

Secreto (1981–1999) was an American-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a career that consisted of only four races, he won three times. His most important success came in June 1984 when he won the Derby.

Background
Secreto was a small bay horse with three white socks sired by the great Northern Dancer. He was the first foal of his dam, the unraced Secretariat mare Betty's Secret, who was only three years old when Secreto was conceived. Betty's Secret went on to produce Istabraq, who won the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham's National Hunt Festival in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Secreto was bred by E. P. Taylor at his Windfields Farm (Maryland). As a yearling in 1982, Secreto was sent to the Keeneland Select yearling sale where he was sold for $340,000, a below-average figure for a Northern Dancer horse. The purchaser was the Venezuelan breeder Luigi Miglietti who sent his colt to be trained in Ireland by David O'Brien.

Racing career
Secreto won his only race as a two-year-old, taking a small maiden race at Phoenix Park. In the spring of 1984, he won the Tetrarch Stakes and then started favourite for the Irish 2,000 Guineas over one mile. He finished third, beaten a neck and half a length by Sadler's Wells and Procida, giving the impression that he would be suited by a longer distance.

In the 1984 Derby, which, was the most valuable race ever run in Europe with a first prize of £227,680, Secreto started at odds of 14/1 in a field of seventeen runners. The odds-on favourite was the unbeaten El Gran Senor, trained by David O'Briens's father Vincent. El Gran Senor had been the leading European two-year-old of 1983 and had won the 2000 Guineas. The running was made by future Melbourne Cup winner At Talaq, who turned into the straight five lengths clear. Two furlongs from the finish, El Gran Senor moved up to dispute the lead with Secreto moving up to challenge on the outside. Pat Eddery appeared to be going very easily on the favourite, whereas Christy Roche was hard at work on Secreto. The two Irish-trained colts began to pull away from the opposition and in what Timeform described as a "thrilling" finish, Secreto led in the last strides to win by a short head. The result was only confirmed after the stewards rejected an objection lodged by Eddery, who claimed that Secreto had leaned in and interfered with his horse in the closing stages. Secreto's win made David O'Brien, at 27, the youngest man to train a Derby winner. Christy Roche praised the colt's attitude, saying that Secreto had "won on sheer courage."

After his win in the Derby, a half share in Secreto was sold to Calumet Farm for a reported $20,000,000. The colt never ran again, being withdrawn successively from the Irish Derby, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the Benson & Hedges Gold Cup.

Assessment
Secreto was assessed at 128 by Timeform. In their book A Century of Champions, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Secreto as an "inferior" Derby winner.

Stud record
Secreto was retired to stud at Calumet Farm in Kentucky before being sent to Japan in 1992 where he died in 1999. His most notable offspring was the 1991 English 2,000 Guineas winner Mystiko. The most notable of his Japanese runners was the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies winner Tamuro Cherry.

Partnerships
The College is affiliated with the ACCC, and CCAA.

History
In 1967, several institutions were merged and became public ones, when the Quebec system of public colleges was created. Collège de Maisonneuve was named after Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve.

On the 5 of May 1973 the Société Générale des Étudiants et Étudiantes du Collège de Maisonneuve (SoGÉÉCoM) was created. It is still the association of Maisonneuve students.

Programs
The college offers two types of programs: pre-university and technical. The pre-university programs, which take two years to complete, cover the subject matters which roughly correspond to the additional year of high school given elsewhere in Canada, as well as an introductory specialization that generally happens in freshman year, in preparation for a chosen field in university. The technical programs, which take three years to complete, applies to students who wish to pursue a skilled trade. In addition, continuing education and services to business are provided.
