Al-Nasr SC (Dubai)

Al-Nasr CSC (نادي النصر الرياضي) is an Emirati professional football club based in Al Nasr, Dubai and competes in the UAE Pro League. Al-Nasr, literally translating to "victory" in Arabic, was founded in 1945 and is considered as the first and oldest club in the United Arab Emirates.

Pre–UAE League era (1945–1973)
Al Nasr Sports Club was founded by a group of young men in a Al Ghubaiba, Dubai in 1945, making it the oldest club in UAE footballing history. The team played in an empty playground near a highschool for three years until in 1948 were they finally decided to establish modern rules of football. In 1951, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum chose the headquarters to be in a cafe close to a fish market, the cafe had a room for rent so the club would rent the room for meetings, gatherings and studying. The club would later move their headquarters to Shindagha. During this period the club went on with the name Al Ahli until in the 1960s where the players traveled to Qatar to face Al Ahli and lose, after their loss in Qatar, the players proposed to change the name to Al Nasr which would later become official. The club decided to move their headquarters to a larger house in Shindagha and invited Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan to meet the club in their new headquarters, Sheikh Zayed decided to donate 60,000 AED as a gift to the club, they would use the money to develop the club.

Rise of competition (1973–1990)
In 1973, the UAE Pro League was established and neighboring teams emerged forcing Al Nasr to start building a proper venue, so the construction of Al Maktoum Stadium began, however the team would join the league in 1974 so the club played their home games in Rashid Stadium until the completion of Al Makhtoum stadium in 1980, the club would win 3 UAE league, 3 presidents cup titles and a UAE federation cups during this time. The club would also be noted for hosting games with big clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and Santos.

Modern era (1990–present)
After the end of the eighties, the club has yet to win the league but won notable cup competitions such as the president's cup, league cup and the GCC Champions League, around 2018 the team would renovate the Al Makhtoum Stadium for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup and host another friendly with Arsenal in 2019. Al Nasr removed coach Caio Zanardi and replaced him with former Dinamo Zagreb player and national Croatian player Krunoslav Jurčić, but he left Al Nasr in February 2021 after mediocre results in the league, and Jurcic was replaced with former River Plate coach Ramón Díaz.

Rivalries
The team has a big rivalry with Al Wasl, often called the Bur Dubai Derby or just simply Dubai Derby, both teams have competed to see which club is the best team in Bur Dubai area. It also has a rivalry with Shabab Al Ahli which is also based in the same city but not in the same area.

User talk:Burgundavia

 Welcome to Air Burgundavia Previous Flights:1,2,3,4,5,6

 ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS For those of you who are flying Air PUI Images as a connecting flight, you are reminded to have your image source and license ready, as they are needed for all images that you might have brought with you.

The staff of Air Burgundavia regrets that they cannot fill in these pieces of information for you, but will render any assistance they can.

image copyrights
Thanks for the heads-up -- you're right; I forgot to add gfdl tags to those images when I uploaded them; I just have. Two of the images you mentioned were not created by me -- namely, Image:Harvard Stadium.jpg and Image:Gestahl -- Amano.jpg. I have taken no action w.r.t. those, although the edit summary for the former indicates that the uploader took the picture himself. jdb ❋ (talk) 18:09, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Can you help me liscense these?
Two of the images on Strath Haven High School came from http://www.wssd.org/pages/schools/shhs/index.php and I will refind the other one. Can you help me label them correctly? Thanks -Slugokramer

Regarding your post on User talk:Shahsagar
First of all, thanks for all the great work you are doing. On the above mentioned post of yours, if you see my post just above yours, I have made a comprehensive list of images by that user (just like you do). If you can also take in all those images, that would be great. (I am not a regular on en: I work mostly on gu: wikipedia). Thanks. --Spundun 04:48, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Zvartnots Pic
I was wondering as to why you removed the the Zvartnots image from the Zvartnots Airport article. I contributed that photo to the article, since it didn't have one. Please get back to me on this issue.--Moosh88 19:45, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fair use
I had a question about Fair Use - was wondering if you knew. The image I listed on WP:PUI Image:Pm_manning_sm.jpg is part of the Office of the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. While such an image in copyright, since it was meant for display, since it is an official portrait of a head of government, do you think that using constitute "fair use"? Guettarda 23:44, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Victoria Fairmont
Dear Burgundavia: Hi! Thanks for your question. I appreciate the fact you came in and asked, because I myself don't know much about things in the British Columbia area as you do. I found the hotel's name like that at the Fairmont's company website. I was about to write about the hotel based on a show I saw and I found the hotel's history to be incredibly interesting.

I wanted to apologize for taking so long to answer. I havent been in the computer so much lately because Ive been having trouble, and also because of the one day reorganization at wikipedia.

By the way I have a question. Everyone talks about Vancouver International Airport, but how is Victoria's airport as far as the commercial area? I love those small commercial airports, if anything, because you never know what rare colored bird you might see there!

Thank you and God bless you! Sincerely yours, Antonio UFO Martin

User:Soman
Hi I saw your name on the page of User talk Soman.

I got to that page from one of his untagged images.

That the user in question uploads lots of images without tagging them troubles me. Because it leads to hours of work for others. Finding the source for just one image may even take more than an hour.

If he doesn't respond to your request on his talk page, I would support you in labelling him a vandalist. Or, perhaps prefereably, getting a RfC.

Gold Coast Airport
I guess our definition of a stub are different. I glanced at the Gold Coast Airport article and in a few minutes I'd learned a hell of a lot, like the airlines that make use of the airport, and even an image of what the airport looks like. I got a lot of information I don't usally get from stubs. I was stub sorting at the time, and if you feel the article is a stub, I'm not going to disagree. -- Longhair | Talk 22:44, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Re: Nunavut airports
I assume you're refering to the Cambridge Bay (and Baker Lake) entry. I gave the Cambridge Bay stub a try but I'm not sure that it's improved (look at the font for the water co-ordinates). Can you have a look before I do the Baker Lake entry. I wonder if it would be better to have a seperate listing for all water aerodromes. But on the other hand would that not mean yet a seperate listing for Heliports?

What other soft of information would be of use on the individual aerodrome pages? I have access to the latest CFS (and get the update every 56 days) so technical information is not a problem. However, general comments other than for one or two aerodromes would be.

Reply about Image:Eagle_Nebula_-_NASA.jpg
Here it is: (my real name)

If I understand your license explanation - if we give you permission to include our images in your on-line encyclopedia, then anyone could freely download them and use them even for commercial purposes? Is that a correct interpretation?

Now what? I just tell them "yes" and they refuse permission? This doesn't sound promising. Alphax τεχ 15:46, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Just had a thought - maybe I should say "only if they continue to credit you as the original author, and give anyone else the same rights as you have granted us", since that is the essence of the GFDL and the cc-by-sa. What do you think? Alphax τεχ 06:01, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, here's what I sent (compiled with the help of Znode):

Both the GFDL and the cc-by-sa-2.5 require attribution to be given for any use or creation of derivative works from the original, and further require that all derivative works be licensed under the original license.

It is further necessary for any derivative works based on the first derivative work (the Wikipedia image) to grant the same rights and licensing as your original image. This means continued proper attribution (including the minimum attribution line) to the original authors throughout all generations of the derivation process. Any derived work along all generations will furthermore be granted the right to produce its own derivative works, of possibly commercial nature. The original authors of the image still hold full rights to their 0th-generation, original image; the license merely grants the right of derivative creation, with proper attribution, to any future derivative "generations" of the image.

If you do not allow us to use your image, we will remove it immediately as it does not comply with our licensing requirements. For more information, you can read the section entitled "Contributors' rights and obligations" on our copyright page (viewable at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights).

How to obtain more info from a person on a photo's rights
Image:No19sqn1.jpg was uploaded and he claims rights have been obtained without properly tagging it. however i'm unable to contact him as his username is in red and i would like to see the whole "rights granted" part that he might have obtained from the said site. also under what categories do these fall the "untagged but rights obtained images", so that i can do them myself in the future. tx --Idleguy 09:32, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * UPDATE: It seems the image is a copyrighted image for which permission has been obtained. and i quote the rights that were granted to him. "Please feel free to use the images as long as you give proper credit." Since this image was uploaded after may 31, 2005 I think these images should be immediately deleted. Again please inform me of the process (as i hate reading help section lol) so the next time i'll be able to delete them myself or put them up for speedy deletion. tx --Idleguy 18:17, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Your image copyright cleanup
Thanks so much for all your work, you really are doing a great job. I've been combing over the images and making free replacements for whatever I can.. I've only done a few since many are of things or place I don't have access to, but I do what I can. Would there be a way you could easily copy some of the description text from the images to the entries? It would make it much easier for me to find images that I am able to replace. Thanks! Gmaxwell 22:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Freetek pictures
Hey B. Thanks for working at this. In regards to the images on Freetekno: The two from ontario were taken by friends of mine, in fact, I'm in one of them! I'm fairly certain that the copyright holders would not object to this use, but that is not enough; I endeavour to learn of their wishes in the matter. As for the czech pic, it was taken by someone I don't know, but is hosted on my friend's machine. Like the ontario pics, I'm reasonably certain they would not mind this use, but still I will contact my friend in the matter. I hope you'll hold off on deletion until I can verify, as the pictures contribute greatly to the article which I expanded from a stub today, Thanks Bennyp 00:59, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

update: The new years pic has been cleared, I just typed wiht the author over MSN about it

bennyp 4:10 have you decided about the image copyright? pet 4:10 why do you need that? just use it. bennyp 4:11 okay i'll take that as written consent, and will pass a copy of this message onto the wikipedia people

The freeteknitias pic is also cleared:

crown copyright etc
Hi sorry to take so long to get back to you, regrettably doing things via, govt channels takes time. Though his time it was due to a prolonged vacation on the National Health. I am still waiting for an answer on the copyright of the images though. I have managed to do a bit of work on some of my images. However I am not now sure I wish to continue with Wiki after what I can only describe as childish personal abuse from a wiki user and a possible 3RR infringement. If you go to:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arthur_Wellesley%2C_8th_Duke_of_Wellington, you will get the idea, following the user pages & edits of the two users (one at least a sysop) gives the impression they work together to impose their will. I will get back to you in due course on the image copyright status issue. Richard Harvey 5 July 2005 19:13 (UTC)

Diaresis and umlaut
Hi there:

I noticed that on the article Sandra Day O'Connor, you made an edit with the summary "reelected does not have an umlaut on it!", changing "reëlected" to "reelected". As it happens, "reëlected" doesn't have an umlaut on it; it has a diaresis on it. This is a diacritical mark that indicates that the second of two vowels does not form a dipthong with its predecessor but instead has a separate sound. And, yes, it is valid (albeit somewhat obscure) English.

I haven't reverted your change; instead, I've inserted a hyphen because I find "re-elected" slightly easier to read than the non-hyphenated version (although both are valid English). I only write this so that you'll understand what's going on if you encounter a diaresis in some other article, Wikipedia or otherwise.

PUI Images
Hi Burgundavia. A few days back I sorted through most of the images on Phase II of WP:PUI, deleting and removing tagged images as needed. I'm a bit stuck on those left on Currrently disputed, June 08 and June 23 - I was wondering if you could have look and sort the rest, please (I'm just unsure of their copyright status)? Much obliged Craigy (talk) July 7, 2005 09:47 (UTC) PS. I'll sort through Adam's images when I come back from work.

Human Rights Servey on Wikipedia (The final post of I_sterbinski)

 * Dear all,

 * Wikipedia was recently a subject of intensive research of an huge international human right organization. A team of people from different nationalities and ages were acting on Wikipedia for 20 days, investigating previously noted anomalities of Wikipedia free editing and forming a final report, which (between the others similar reports) will later be a guide to all future moves of the organization concerning Wikipedia. Acting under an account of a real person, their privacy is to be held private. Therefore, very few private information will be revealed.
 * Also, this is a result of the lack of final possition of the organization concerning Wikipedia and human rights, which was still not formed.

 * The team's final post on Wikipedia, where they explain their actions can be found on the following addresses:
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:I_sterbinski
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonia#Human_Rights_Servey_on_Wikipedia_.28The_final_post_of_I_sterbinski.29

 * The team would like to thank to all the persons who took part in the correspondence with us.
 * We also want to appologise for keeping our identity secret for a longer period.

 * Best regards,

Need to resolve PUI images
I put the message below on User talk:Scorilo. I think he may be wrong in his assumptions. -Nv8200p (talk) 20:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

The web site of Branislav Manic Law Office and Patent Bureau states that the "former SFR Yugoslavia adhered to Berne Convention, Universal Convention and Satelites Convention." Based on this, I'd say your rationale for the images being public domain are not supported. I cannot find the public domain websites you took these images from. Please provide the links to me as well as links (or references) to material that supports your legal claims for public domain. If I don't hear from you in the next seven days on this matter, I feel the appropriate thing to do will be to delete all but one image from the Soko J-22 Orao article and claim fair use for that one image for educational purposes.

Template:Runway Feature Request
I was wondering if it would be possible to add runway width to the template? I've heard of some former US military bases with wider-than-normal runways for B-52's can cause problems with depth perception for pilots used to certain runway widths. Airnav.com lists width along with length and more specific information about runway composition (I've added most of this to Paine Field, for example). Thanks. McNeight 19:56, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:GermanphotowithEnglishTank.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:GermanphotowithEnglishTank.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam ( T / C ) 21:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The tag which is tagged by you seems not to be a correct one as WWI has not completed its hundred years, it would be better if you tag it correctly with providing source information. Thank you, Shyam  ( T / C ) 08:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding various pictures you deleted
Although your effort is commendable, I am kind of annoyed by your mass deletion of a group of old pictures I uploaded. I haven't been around Wiki so I didn't have a chance to defend them. They were perfectly fine pictures, they were just uploaded a long time ago before Wikipedia was "tag crazy" so I didn't have the right tags. They were from Japanese wikipedia and what not, if you would have done a little exploring you would have found that out. Instead you just trash stuff because its quicker to press delete than explore. Sorry if I sound mad, and its not just you, but with out you addressing this issue with me, more people will continue to do this. ARRRG. Nesnad 05:34, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Burgundavia,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk)23:22, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Coaticook

Coaticook is a town on the Coaticook River, located in southeastern Quebec, Canada. It resides in the region of Estrie, which is often referred to colloqually as the Eastern Townships. It is the seat of the Coaticook Regional County Municipality, and its southern border is also the Canada–United States border.

The town of Coaticook was initially settled in the 1820s by British Loyalists coming from New England. The town was incorporated in 1864, and the municipalities of Barnston Township and Barford Township were later merged into Coaticook on December 12, 1998. The absorption of these townships introduced multiple communities to Coaticook that exist to this day, including Baldwin's Mills, Barnston, Ladd's Mills and Stanhope. As of 2021, the population of the municipality of Coaticook was 8,867 with a total area of 222.73 km2.

The town of Coaticook is principally known for the Laiterie de Coaticook, the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook and Foresta Lumina, which bring in a majority of the town's tourists.

The municipality is named after the Coaticook River. The name “Coaticook” is of Abenaki origin, deriving from the term koatikeku, meaning “where the river is bordered by white pines”.

History
The place was founded in 1818. Richard Baldwin Senior, from Barnston Pinacle cleared a parcel of land where later the City Hall was built. Richard Baldwin son, built the first permanent residence at this place. The area of the Townships of Barnston and Barford was settled in the 1820s and the 1830s by British Loyalists and Americans, mainly from New England. The municipality was finally incorporated in 1864. After the merger of the municipalities of Barnston Township and Barford Township on December 12, 1998, the surface area of the newly-created municipality increased considerably.

Coaticook now extends over a total land area of 218.89 square kilometres and the 108 animal farms within its territory, including 66 dairy farms, make it one of Quebec's major milk producers. Coaticook is dubbed the Pearl of the Eastern Townships.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Coaticook had a population of $8,867$ living in $4,023$ of its $4,282$ total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of $8,955$. With a land area of 219.45 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

Mother tongue:
 * English as first language: 5.1%
 * French as first language: 92.7%
 * English and French as first language: 1.3%
 * Other as first language: 0.8%

Laiterie de Coaticook
Founded in 1940 by Arthur Bédard, Arthur St-Cyr, and Henri Gérin, the Laiterie initially prepared, bottled, and distributed pasteurized dairy products such as milk, chocolate milk, and cream. Only two years later did the Laiterie begin the production of its quickly-famed ice cream and cheddar cheese. In 1976, under the new administration of Fernand Houle and Émile Provencher, the Laiterie chose to halt the distribution of milk, chocolate milk, and cream. These specializations permitted the Laiterie to position itself firmly on the market. Over the next 50 years, the Laiterie expanded its product range, adding new flavors of ice cream, goat cheese, "Bûche de Noël" cakes, and several other products. Today, still relying on one manufactory, its products are sold province-wide and in New Brunswick.

Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook
First opened in 1975, the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook is a regional park situated on the Coaticook Gorge. It is a nonprofit organization that offers both summer and winter activities, including camping, hiking trails, a petting zoo, mountain bike trails, and in winter, snowshoeing, fatbike, ice climbing and dog sledding. The Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook brings in more than 225,000 visitors annually, with the principal attraction of the park being its suspension bridge which spans the gorge at 169 meters (554 ft) long. The footbridge dates back to 1988, however it was officially opened the year after, and initially held the title of longest suspended footbridge in the world according to Guinness World Records until 2006, when a footbridge in Japan surpassed it. The Park has two receptions in the town of Coaticook: the first being the Accueil Denis Maurais, renamed after the founder of the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook in 2016, which gives access to the suspension bridge and Foresta Lumina, and the second being the Accueil du Camping, located in a round barn, which gives access to the park's campgrounds as well as the majority of its trails and other activities. Both receptions also act as shops, selling merchandise and memorabilia connected to the four main activities of the park.

Foresta Lumina was created in 2014, when the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook commissioned Moment Factory, a Montreal-based design studio, to create a multimedia night walk in one of the park's trails. The 2.6 km (1.6 mi) long experience drew inspiration from local legends, making use of different scenography techniques, a unique soundtrack and a story revolving around a girl named "Margaret". Its first year saw over 70,000 visitors, and in 2015, it received over 145,000. In each of the consecutive years after 2014, large changes or additions were made to Foresta Lumina. In 2018, a projection was added to the downtown of Coaticook, located in Tillotson Place, which is accessible by the main street.

The Parc Découverte Nature is an affiliated organism owned and managed by the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook. It is located in Baldwin Mills, near Lake Lyster, and offers activities that revolve around fishing. It was first created in 2004, when the municipality of Coaticook obtained 80 hectares of land next to the pisciculture center located in Baldwin Mills. The land was transferred to the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook and it started year-round activities in May 2006. Today, the Parc Découverte Nature sees more than 11,000 visitors annually and is involved in the conservation of multiple local species of freshwater fish. In August 2019, in collaboration with local and government agencies, it was announced that the Parc Découverte Nature would open an interactive game experience by the summer of 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the opening was pushed until July 2021, when it was revealed as Acoatica, an interactive experience with the goal of favoring the survival of different fish species through different interior and exterior activities.

William Gaines (professor)

William C. Gaines (November 1, 1933 – July 20, 2016) was an American journalist and professor of journalism. Gaines was a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune. He retired from the paper in 2001 and taught in the Department of Journalism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign until his retirement and designation as an emeritus faculty member in 2007. He died on July 20, 2016, at the age of 82.

Early life and career
Gaines earned a bachelor's degree in broadcasting at Butler University in 1956. He served two years in the United States Army working for Armed Forces Radio in Germany. In 1963, he became a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, and then became an investigative reporter in 1974. From 1975 to 1999, Gaines taught an investigative reporting course each semester at Columbia College in Chicago. He was named to the Knight Chair in Journalism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001, a post he held until he retired in 2007.

Pulitzer Prize
Gaines' first Pulitzer Prize came in 1976 as a member of an investigative team at the Tribune looking into unsafe medical practices at some Chicago hospitals.

In 1988, Gaines and colleagues Dean Baquet and Ann Marie Lipinski won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for a series on the self-interest and waste that plagued the Chicago City Council.

Gaines was nominated in 1979 for a series about the problems of the elderly. Gaines and David Jackson were nominated in 1996 for stories that probed questionable business dealings of the Nation of Islam.

Watergate informant "uncovered"
Gaines led a study with several of his students in 2003 to determine the identity of Watergate informant Deep Throat. Soon after the study, he set up a website, about the way in which he "uncovered" one of the great enduring mysteries of modern U.S. Politics.

He came to the conclusion that Fred F. Fielding, a former senior partner at Wiley Rein LLP (then Wiley Rein & Fielding), a Washington, D.C. law firm, was Deep Throat. At the time of the Watergate scandal, Fielding was Associate Counsel for President Richard Nixon from 1970 to 1972, where he was the deputy to John Dean during the Watergate scandal.

On May 31, 2005, the actual Deep Throat, W. Mark Felt, acknowledged his identity in an article in Vanity Fair, exonerating Fielding.

On his website, Deep Throat Uncovered, Gaines has written about a confrontation with John Dean about the identity of Deep Throat:

 * He declined to respond to Smithsonian Magazine. John Dean has been steadfast in arguing Fielding would not have lied to him about being a source for the Post, and Dean bet Professor Gaines $100 that Gaines was wrong. Gaines took the bet.

Publications
Gaines has written several books:

 * Reich, Howard and William Gaines (2004). Jelly's Blues: The Life, Music, and Redemption of Jelly Roll Morton. Da Capo Press ISBN 0-306-81350-5
 * Gaines, William (1998). Investigative Reporting for Print and Broadcast Wadsworth Publishing. ISBN 0-8304-1469-X

Chemotropism

Chemotropism is defined as the growth of organisms navigated by chemical stimulus from outside of the organism. It has been observed in bacteria, plants and fungi. A chemical gradient can influence the growth of the organism in a positive or negative way. Positive growth is characterized by growing towards a stimulus and negative growth is growing away from the stimulus.

Chemotropism is slightly different from Chemotaxis, the major difference being that chemotropism is related to growth, while chemotaxis is related to locomotion. A chemotropic process may have an underlying chemotactic component, as is the case with mating yeast.

Chemotropism in plants

One prime example of chemotropism is seen in plant fertilization and pollen tube elongation of angiosperms, flowering plants. Unlike animals, plants cannot move, and therefore need a delivery mechanism for sexual reproduction. Pollen, which contains the male gametophyte is transferred to another plant via insects or wind. If the pollen is compatible it will germinate and begin to grow. The ovary releases chemicals that stimulates a positive chemotropic response from the developing pollen tube. In response the tube develops a defined tip growth area that promotes directional growth and elongation of the pollen tube due to a calcium gradient. The steep calcium gradient is localized in the tip and promotes elongation and orientation of the growth. This calcium gradient is essential for the growth to occur; it has been shown that inhibiting the formation of the gradient results in no growth. As the pollen tube continues to grow towards the ovules, the male sperm remains in the apical region and is transported to the female ovule. The pollen tube elongates at a rate comparable to neurite development

An example of positive and negative chemotropism is shown by a plant's roots; the roots grow towards useful minerals displaying positive chemotropism, and grow away from harmful acids displaying negative chemotropism.

Chemotropism in animals

In more complex organisms an example of chemotropic movement includes the growth of individual neuronal cell axons in response to extracellular signals. Secreted protein can either repel or attract specific neurons. Some signal proteins such as netrins, semaphorins, neurotrophins and fibroblast growth factors have been identified in aiding neuronal growth. These signals guide the developing axon to innervate the correct target tissue. The neuronal growth cones are guided by gradients of chemoattractant molecules released from their intermediate or final targets. There is evidence that the axons of peripheral neurons are guided by chemotropism and the directed growth of some central axons is also a chemotropic response, it remains to be determined whether chemotropism also operates in the central nervous system. Evidence has also been noted in neuronal regeneration, where chemotropic substances guide the ganglionic neurites towards the degenerated neuronal stump.

Chemotropism in Fungi
Fungal chemotropism was first reported over 100 years ago by Anton de Bary. One example of fungi using chemotropism is seen in Yeast.Yeast release chemical pheromones in order to attract mates. Each haploid yeast cells express specific haploid genes; haploid α-cells express α-genes and haploid a-cells express a-genes. Each cell type releases a unique pheromone: a- or α-factor. By secreting these factors a chemical gradient is formed that attracts the other type of yeast cell during mating. In order for the yeast to sense the gradient they have to have proper receptors that bind a- or α-factor: Ste3 and Ste2 respectively. The receptors to detect the pheromones are seven transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). Once activated, there is a signaling cascade that results in the activation of transcription factors for mating-specific genes such as those involved in cell cycle arrest, directional polarization towards the chemical gradient, and sexual hyphae formation. When fungal hyphae touch, the cells merge to form a diploid zygote. Mating pairs of budding yeast cells may polarize away from each other, but are able to adjust the location of polarity to enable successful alignment and fusion.

Dried cranberry

Dried cranberries are made by partially dehydrating fresh cranberries, a process similar to making grapes into raisins. They are used in trail mix, salads, breads, with cereals, or eaten on their own. Dried cranberries may be marketed as craisins due to the similarity in appearance with raisins, although the word "Craisin" is a registered trademark of Ocean Spray. Craisins were introduced as part of a packaged cereal produced by Ralston Purina in 1989.

Most commercially produced dried cranberries contain added sugar, and may be coated with vegetable oil to inhibit stickiness.

Nutrition
The nutrient content of dried cranberries may vary depending on the extent of dehydration, amount of sugar added during processing, and brand. According to an analysis by the US Department of Agriculture, dried cranberries are 16% water, 83% carbohydrates, 1% fat, and contain no protein.

A 100 g reference amount of dried cranberries supplies 308 calories, with a moderate content of vitamin E (14% of the Daily Value), and otherwise a low or absent content of micronutrients (table).

Uses
Dried cranberries can be added for color and flavor to various foods, including salads, oatmeal, cookies, muffins, loaves, breads and trail mix. They may be used to replace raisins or any dried fruit. Dried cranberries may be prepared with flavorings or coverings, such as chocolate.

Controversy
In 1989 after spending "millions of dollars" on raisin advertising, the California Raisin Advisory Board decried the similar name "Craisin", claiming that dried cranberries were "just the skin of the cranberry, sugar infused, and it's very tart."
