Junji Sakamoto

Junji Sakamoto (阪本 順治) is a Japanese film director.

Career
After working as a set assistant or assistant director under such filmmakers as Sogo Ishii and Kazuyuki Izutsu, he made his directorial debut in 1989 with Dotsuitarunen (earning the Directors Guild of Japan New Directors Award ) and followed it up with another boxing film, Tekken, in 1990. Sakamoto became known for action films focusing on the conflicts between male characters, such as Tokarefu and New Battles Without Honor and Humanity, but has also made films centered on female characters such as Face and Awakening. He won the award for Best Director at the 24th Japan Academy Prize and at the 22nd Yokohama Film Festival for Face. He won the Special Jury prize for My House at the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival in 2003.

Chameleon, an action film starring Tatsuya Fujiwara and Asami Mizukawa, screened at the Busan International Film Festival in 2008. Children of the Dark, a thriller film shot in Thailand, was denied to screen at the Bangkok International Film Festival in 2008. Zatoichi: The Last, a jidaigeki film starring Shingo Katori, and Strangers in the City, a thriller film starring Toru Nakamura and Manami Konishi, were both released in 2010. Someday, an ensemble comedy film starring Yoshio Harada, won the Best Picture prize at the Yokohama Film Festival in 2011. He also directed A Chorus of Angels, a 2012 film starring Sayuri Yoshinaga, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Toei Company. His 2013 film, Human Trust, starred Kōichi Satō, Yoo Ji-tae, and Vincent Gallo.

Style and influences
A number of Sakamoto's works, such as Ōte and Biriken, are set in Osaka, particularly the Shinsekai sector. His films have also taken up such controversial topics as postwar Japanese history and the problem of national sovereignty (Out of This World or Aegis), or the trafficking of children in Asia (Children of the Dark).

Hiram (TV series)

Hiram (, international title: Stolen Moments) is a Philippine television drama series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng, it stars Kris Aquino, Dina Bonnevie, Heart Evangelista, Anne Curtis, and Geoff Eigenmann. It aired on the network's Primetime Bida line up from July 12, 2004 to May 20, 2005, replacing Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas and was replaced by Qpids.

Premise
The story revolves around the relationships between Diana, Sophia, Beatrice, and Edward. Diana takes care of Beatrice's child Margaret after Beatrice dies. Sophia has a daughter Stephanie, from a past one night stand.

The story begins with a friendship between three females who find themselves sacrificing their lives for one another until respective generations find themselves also fighting for the love of one man.

Main cast

 * Kris Aquino as Diana Benipayo-Verdadero, fondly called Hopia when she was growing up. Overweight, insecure and the youngest of the three friends, she grows up to be a beautiful television host. Diana stands as mother to Margaret, who is the love-child of her friend Beatrice (Mickey Ferriols). She fell in love with Louie (Christian Vasquez) but her true love is Edward. Character name is derived from British princess, Diana, Princess of Wales and Binibining Pilipinas-World 1992 Marina Benipayo.
 * Dina Bonnevie as Sophia Borromeo, "ate" (sister) of Diana and the former Beatrice. Sophia takes the lead in making decisions, which does not make her very popular. She is envious, controlling and confident. She had Stephanie when she agreed to sleep with her Chinese employer to help Diana who got in trouble when they were working in Hong Kong. Sophia pretends to be strong and ruthless but she is also in love with Edward. She had a boyfriend, Alexander (Bernard Palanca), who loves her but knows she loves Edward more. Character is derived from Spanish queen consort, Queen Sophia of Spain and Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 1964 Myrna Panlilio-Borromeo.
 * Heart Evangelista as Margaret Benipayo, beautiful, intelligent and sensible adopted daughter of Diana. She doesn't know the truth about her own birth. She fell in love with Harry, a simple son of a farmer whose face was disfigured. The relationship met the disapproval of Sophia, who took the opportunity to separate them when Harry suffered amnesia after a car crash. Margaret suffered when she found out that Harry was given the name Andrew and fell in love with her best friend Stephanie and Stephanie started to create her evil schemes against her. She decided to step out of the way rather than hurt her best friend. Character name is derived from English royals, Margaret Tudor and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
 * Anne Curtis as Stephanie Borromeo, arrogant, ruthless, villainess, pitiless and the main female antagonist of the series and the unwanted child of Sophia. All her life she lived in the shadow of Margaret until Andrew came into her life. She hurt badly when she found out that Andrew was actually Harry and will make Margaret's life a living hell as time goes by. Stephanie is self-destructive and emotionally dependent, but she is coming to her own. Character name is derived from Portuguese queen consort, Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.
 * Geoff Eigenmann as Harry Silayan/Andrew Florendo, the amnesiac victim who fell in love with two women who happened to be best friends. Harry is torn. Margaret won't take him back and won't give him a choice. Stephanie is pushing him away because of her insecurity. Everyone is anxious about whom he will choose. Character name is derived from British prince Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex/Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 1980 Chat Silayan/Miss Universe 1973 Margarita Moran-Florendo.
 * John Estrada as Edward Verdadero, the crush ng bayan when Beatrice, Diana and Sophia were growing up. Handsome, rich and gentlemanly, Edward was the ideal man for all of them. But among the three, his heart only went out for Diana. He waited 20 long years before he could propose to Diana. Character name is derived from British king, Edward VIII and Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 1984 Desiree Verdadero.

Business consultant

A business consultant (from Latin consultare, "to discuss") is a professional who provides professional or expert advice or service in a particular area such as security (electronic or physical), management, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing (and public relations), financial control, engineering, science, digital transformation, exit planning or any of many other specialized fields.

A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide area of knowledge in a specific subject. Consultants can save their clients time, increase revenue, and maintain resources. The role of a consultant outside the medical sphere (where the term is used specifically for a grade of doctor) can fall under one of two general categories:
 * Internal consultant – someone who operates within an organization but is available to be consulted on areas of specialism by other departments or individuals (acting as clients); or
 * External consultant – someone who is employed externally (either by a firm or some other agency) and whose expertise is provided on a temporary basis, usually for a fee. As such this type of consultant generally engages with multiple and changing clients.

The overall impact of a consultant is that clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and may purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired.

In the United Kingdom between 1992 and 2011, government funding provided via Business Link could be used to enable small businesses to access business consultancy services.

Research
A large-scale survey of business consultancy assignments, reported in 2004, found that repeat business and referrals from third parties were key determinants of consultant appointments.

Talk:Adobe Fireworks

Untitled
I have added descriptions for some of the tools, but am not done yet. I have put an hour of work into this, and plan to spend more in the coming days. I added more information, and added a screencap of the toolbar.

I would like to:
 * Create images of the tool icons to put beside their descriptions
 * Finish listing all the tools and their functions
 * Talk about other panels besides the tool panel
 * Add a section for useful extensions, or perhaps simply a series of links
 * Work on creating a graphical digram of the hierarchy of the toolbar to replace the current screenshot of the toolbar which isn't as helpful as my proposed diagram would be.

Oque 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Fireworks has a very loyal following and while it's a much smaller player in the market, it offers some highly effective workflow advantages over its larger competitors. Some of these include:
 * Vector Masking
 * Transparency exporting
 * Integration with Flash
 * Object selection

I'm not sure if you wanted to include a section on why this program is so popular with professionals.

I've reverted the second paragraph to a version more in line with NPOV guidelines. Here's the previous version: ''Fireworks is similar in purpose to the popular Adobe Photoshop, and offers much more range and sophistication than does the latter. Photoshop has a habit of being intensely uncustomizable - making it a developer's worst enemy. With the release of Macromedia Studio 8, Fireworks improves its advantage over Adobe Photoshop. Fireworks is a primarily vector-based program, whereas Photoshop is stuck in the world of bitmap editing.''

Let's keep it factual and NPOV, please
I reverted the last edit because

1) Fireworks is not "king over Photoshop", and implying that it is by saying that "more and more experienced graphic designers" see it that way is misleading and not factual. How many is "more and more", and what constitutes "experienced"? In my 10 years as a graphic designer, I can say with confidence that Fireworks may be useful, and may even be better than Photoshop in some ways, but is certainly not king over Photoshop.

2) Bitmaps suffer roughly the same reduction in quality no matter which program they're resized in. In fact, Photoshop offers 5 varieties of interpolation for upwards resizing, minimizing the loss of quality compared to most programs. Implying that Fireworks can resize images better than Photoshop is misleading - they both handle bitmaps and vector images the same way.

Response: However, FW is much more capable of vector processing and development - along with the bitmap end of the spectrum.

3) Photoshop has greatly expanded its vector capabilities since Fireworks was first released.

Response: "expanded" - Yes, expanded, BUT improved over Fireworks?? ... no

4) Most designers use Photoshop in conjunction with other graphics programs, such as Illustrator. Comparing Fireworks to Photoshop is therefore somewhat inaccurate. However, most designers I know, if forced to choose just one graphics editing program, would go with Photoshop. Response: Fireworks is like Photoshop and Illustrator bundled into a single program - a program that has the features of PS and Illustrator but does it better.

5) On what basis do you make the statement that if Adobe merges the two products, the end result will "boast the fireworks core"? This seems like blatant speculation to me.

Response: As does your prognosis. I merely state that, due to the great and ever-increasing power and versatility of Fireworks, the combination (if it comes to that) will likely contain much of the Fireworks core data engine.

Rasi2290

It strikes me that this discussion is only from the point of view of designers as if they were/are the only users of Photoshop. Photoshop is also used extensively in Photography where I don't think many people would make the argument that Fireworks competes with it. Additionally, CS3 extended adds tools are designed for scientific image work which I'm sure don't exist (and shouldn't exist) in Fireworks. Smart objects, the wide array of plugins from Noise Ninja to Alien Skin's Exposure to any of a number of other plugins that exist for Photoshop don't exist for Fireworks. And that's not even mentioning that Adobe Lightroom, Apple's Aperature and Lightzone are all designed to work with Photoshop in round trip editing. Is it really important in a factual article to decide which software is "king" or even "queen" for that mattter?

ImageReady
I just realized that it makes more sense to compare Fireworks to Imageready, not Photoshop. After all, Fireworks is specifically for web graphics, just like ImageReady. I've clarified the difference between all three. {As I have said, FW is like a combination of PS and Imageready - not one or the other.} Rasi2290

I don't know what else can be said that isn't already on this discussion page...which 68.57.226.12 has apparently ignored so far. Rasi2290

My apologies - there are some responsed in the NPOV discussion, which I missed because they're mixed in with the original post. Let me fix that first and then address the response. Rasi2290

Ok, now that I've made clear what was in my original post and what was in the response...my responses follow.

1) Fireworks is not "king over Photoshop", and implying that it is by saying that "more and more experienced graphic designers" see it that way is misleading and not factual. How many is "more and more", and what constitutes "experienced"? In my 10 years as a graphic designer, I can say with confidence that Fireworks may be useful, and may even be better than Photoshop in some ways, but is certainly not king over Photoshop. Rasi2290

Since you haven't disputed this, I trust you agree? Rasi2290

2) Bitmaps suffer roughly the same reduction in quality no matter which program they're resized in. In fact, Photoshop offers 5 varieties of interpolation for upwards resizing, minimizing the loss of quality compared to most programs. Implying that Fireworks can resize images better than Photoshop is misleading - they both handle bitmaps and vector images the same way. Rasi2290

Response: However, FW is much more capable of vector processing and development - along with the bitmap end of the spectrum.

Agreed, Fireworks is better than Photoshop or Imageready for handing vectors. But that's not what you were saying. You were saying that Fireworks is better for resizing ALL graphics, which isn't true at all. Resized bitmaps suffer a similar reduction in quality in either program. Vectors can be resized in either program with no quality difference. If you want to make the point that Fireworks is better at handling vectors overall, I agree with you, but that's a totally seperate point. Rasi2290

3) Photoshop has greatly expanded its vector capabilities since Fireworks was first released. Rasi2290

Response: "expanded" - Yes, expanded, BUT improved over Fireworks?? ... no

In your original article you implied that photoshop was totally incapable of handling vector graphics. While this was true at one point, it no longer is. Simple vectors can be created in photoshop, more complex ones can be imported from Illustrator. Rasi2290

4) Most designers use Photoshop in conjunction with other graphics programs, such as Illustrator. Comparing Fireworks to Photoshop is therefore somewhat inaccurate. However, most designers I know, if forced to choose just one graphics editing program, would go with Photoshop. Rasi2290 Response: Fireworks is like Photoshop and Illustrator bundled into a single program - a program that has the features of PS and Illustrator but does it better.

Clarification: it's like a WEB version of those two programs bundled together. Photoshop and Illustrator were both designed for print graphics, and combined, they are far more powerful than Fireworks alone. This is why I think it makes no sense to compare Fireworks with Photoshop in the first place. Fireworks is for web graphics, so it should be compared to the web graphics version of Photoshop...which is Imageready. And in that context, I already granted that it's overall better than Imageready. Not Photoshop. Rasi2290

5) On what basis do you make the statement that if Adobe merges the two products, the end result will "boast the fireworks core"? This seems like blatant speculation to me. Rasi2290

Response: As does your prognosis. I merely state that, due to the great and ever-increasing power and versatility of Fireworks, the combination (if it comes to that) will likely contain much of the Fireworks core data engine.

My prognosis was similar as yours - with a few major differences. First, I was talking about it merging with ImageReady; again, this makes more sense than comparing it to Photoshop. Secondly, I made it more clear that nobody knows right now, and we're all speculating on this. And thirdly, I was more specific in what I think would happen. "Boast the Fireworks core" is sort of vague. If you mean that Adobe would start using the Macromedia interface, I assure you that will never, ever happen. Adobe has invested HUGE time and money into establishing their interface across all their programs, and people like it the way it is. If you mean that common operations will work differently - they'll work the 'macromedia' way instead of the 'adobe' way, again, that will never happen. If, however, you mean that Adobe will incorporate Fireworks' features into Imageready and/or PHotoshop, I agree completely.

I'm not even sure if this kind of speculation belongs in a wikipedia article, but if it does, it should be clear that it is exactly that.Rasi2290

I do agree with Rasi2290 here - perhaps it should be made clear that this is purely speculation. Good point. (MLS)

Removed image
I've removed this image:. Its copyright status is under debate. Regardless of that question, though, it doesn't add anything to the article. Nothing about the picture demonstrates the specific capabilities of Fireworks - it could just as well have been made with any of several other image editing programs. FreplySpang (talk) 23:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

WTF
"(also known as FW for short)" Who here calls it FW

Most people just type out Fireworks. Even in this talk, FW is used in only 2 responses. Lowtech42 16:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I just think they listed it that way because of the signature Adobe CS "boxes with letters in it" icons for each program (sorry, but I have no idea what Adobe's real name for these icons are, if there is one). Oftentimes, particularly on Adobe's webpage, they refer in shorthand fashion to programs using these icons. Maybe it could be clarified that this is Adobe's own iconic system for each program. Because, as you are saying, I don't think I have ever heard of a designer calling it just "FW". 99.163.105.9 (talk) 00:38, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Over Comparison?
Does anybody else think there is too much comparison to Adobe Products? I know its important and should be mentioned somewhere but in every sentence? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AppleRobin (talk • contribs) 09:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

Fireworks' fate
It's probably a long way off, but does anyone know Fireworks' ultimate fate?

Macromedia's Freehand was silently killed off and supplanted with Illustrator straight after the acquisition, but Fireworks and Photoshop share a lot of overlap.

Could Adobe pull an AutoDesk/Alias and maintain both products for the forseeable future (like AutoDesk did with Alias' Maya and their own 3D Studio MAX) or will they kill the lesser of the two products, Fireworks, off a couple of versions down the line whilst they integrate Fireworks' features into Photoshop? W3bbo 18:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Response: Obviously, no one knows, and whoever might have a guess undoubtedly can't and won't say -- furthermore, I speculate Adobe doesn't even know, they are still trying to figure it out. We can observe, however, that FW is continuing to be developed in full force for the time being and so far as I can tell has not had any resource reduction. What complicates the future of FW is that Photoshop's core engine(which is over 10 years old now) could not really integrate FW's more advanced vector features(PS renders in layers with primitive vector curves as an aid sometimes, FW renders objects like a true vector editing application), as much of a dream come true that would be. If anything, I think FW is more ripe to start integrating PS's features, but I don't expect that to happen either because of the volume PS bitmap editing features that FW is missing and the effort that would be involved to implement, and in the end it would create even further conflict between Adobe apps. Ultimately, my guess is that FW will fight to find a purpose for its unique hybrid toolset, and if it doesn't find it and more users catch on within the next several versions, it will die. The current "purpose" Adobe seems to be toying with is "rapid prototyping." Whatever that means.

I don't know why both products could not co-exist peacefully. As was stated by the above Talker, much more blatant overlap has occurred elsewhere with Maya/3Ds Max. There is also an important price difference. Fireworks sells as a single app for $299 currently, while the standard edition of Photoshop is $699, with the extended edition costing $999. This puts Fireworks at a lower-end of the spectrum then PS, which sounds right to me considering it has one main application (web design) whereas PS has many possible applications within graphic design. If Fireworks is completely done away with, some users of it who do not own the Creative Suite will step up to PS, but others will just look elsewhere, unwilling to spend the $700 price of admission. And besides that, it's another stuffer for Creative Suite Web Premium. 99.163.105.9 (talk) 00:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Skewing & Distorting
The images are to demonstrate firework's abilities. Feel free to delete them if you feel it is necessary. --Trenchy (talk) 17:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC) Just about every image editing program has those features (skew, perspective). Even MSPaint does... I don't think your images add much to the article, sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.146.216.193 (talk) 21:52, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

NPOV
There's a great big walloping section which is pure Point Of View. I've removed it (check out the revisions to see what it was). If someone wants to fix it and re-add it, that's fine. But don't re-add it in its current state. I also added unencyclopedic and cleanup to the page.

Zapzupnz (talk) 22:56, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

External Link Authority
Personal blogs of people with no official affiliation to Adobe Fireworks bear no authority on the application, hence they do not belong in the External Links section. Nathan Pitman's dissatisfaction with Fireworks bears little relevance and no more official authority on Fireworks than the views of other designers who blog about their Fireworks experience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.154.3.252 (talk) 08:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

"Userbase" section
The "Userbase" section of this article seems to have a lot of problems:

Most web designers who design with Fireworks are usually coders of front ends who enjoy Fireworks Object Oriented approach to web design. With its powerful vector tools to create non-destructive scalable elements combined with tools specialized for the web, its been an attractive tool of choice. Long time users of Photoshop make it difficult to migrate their workflow to Fireworks since Photoshop has been the web design tool for many over a decade, regardless of the web advantage that Fireworks has over Photoshop. As of CS4, Adobe supported long time Photoshop users with Fireworks' improved support for import of .psd files, preserving all slices made in Photoshop. However, Adobe's cancellation of Image Ready in favor of Fireworks implies that Adobe Fireworks was the better tool for the web design community. Some web designers who have made the transition from Photoshop to Fireworks refer to Fireworks as "Adobe's best kept secret".

There are several weaselwords in there, no citations, assumptions about the Fireworks community and assumptions as what the implication was to ending Image Ready in favor of Fireworks. While that probably was the reason in Image Ready vs. Fireworks, without Adobe actually stating this, it seems a bit out of place on a wikipedia page to me. What if the actual reason was the head designer of Image Ready changing jobs? Who knows?

This section also seems to be a continuation of the PS vs. FW debate. It just doesn't seem to me to fit here, and I would delete it, but I wanted to see if anyone wanted to re-write it first. 99.163.105.9 (talk) 01:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

user reception / criticism
I'm surprised this article doesn't have a "reception" section. Many users feel that Adobe is neglecting this product. Fireworks is intended as a graphics tool for web developers (It was originally part of Macromedia web suite including DreamWeaver and Flash.), but after the buyout Adobe has kind of failed to keep it up-to-date. One of the biggest problems for the past several versions is that Adobe has not added the ability to import and export SVGs. With the web moving onto smaller screens (mobile phones) and ultra-high resolution displays (including the MacBook Pro with Retina Display), web developers needs images that look great both at large resolutions and small resolutions without consuming lots of bandwidth. SVG is both small and infinitely scalable making it a great choice for graphics in modern web sites. SVG images are supported by IE9+, Safari 3.1+, Firefox 4.0+, and Chrome 1.0+, but SVGs are not supported by any version of Adobe Fireworks. - 24.119.24.82 (talk) 21:54, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

 * If you can provide reliable sources that discuss what critics think of the product, sure, such information should be included. But without such links, it may be difficult to interest anyone in doing the research to find sources to update the article.

Version history needs expansion
I noticed that the version history section just has one version: the original Macromedia Fireworks, released in 1998. This needs to be researched and expanded to fill in each version, its release date, and its new features. Gparyani (talk) 03:29, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois)

The Daily Herald is a daily newspaper based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The newspaper is distributed in the northern, northwestern and western suburbs of Chicago. It is the namesake of the Daily Herald Media Group, and through it is the leading subsidiary of Paddock Publications.

The paper started in 1871 and was independently owned and run by four generations of the Paddock family. In 2018, the Paddock family sold its stake in the paper to its employees through an employee stock ownership plan.

Areas of circulation
The Daily Herald serves Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, and McHenry counties and has a coverage area of about 1300 sqmi. It is the third-largest newspaper in Illinois (behind the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times).

History
The Daily Herald was founded in 1872 as the Cook County Herald. It was initially tailored to the business needs of the then-rural northwestern portion of Cook County. Hosea C. Paddock, a former teacher, bought the newspaper in 1889 for $175. His sons, Stuart and Charles, took over the paper in 1920 and renamed it the Arlington Heights Herald in 1926. For its first century, it was a weekly publication.

In 1898, Hosea Paddock bought the Palatine Enterprise. Over the years, the Paddocks bought newspapers in Mount Prospect, Bensenville, Roselle and Wheeling. The Daily Herald counts 1898 as its founding date.

The paper grew along with northwestern Cook County after World War II, as four-lane highways and the expansion of the Chicago & North Western's commuter rail line in the northwest suburbs (now the Union Pacific/Northwest Line) turned it into a suburban area. It became a tri-weekly in 1967.

The paper's real growth began in 1968, when Stuart Paddock Jr. took over the paper. A year later, the paper began publishing five days a week. This move came almost out of necessity; Field Communications, publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times, had introduced its "Daily" papers for the northern suburbs in 1966. A brutal one-year circulation war ensued, ending in 1970 when Field pulled out of the area. That year, the paper dropped Arlington Heights from its masthead after merging with its sister publications and expanding into Lake County. It began publishing on Saturdays in 1975. It became the Daily Herald in 1977 and began publishing on Sundays in 1978. During the second half of the 1980s, it expanded into DuPage, Kane and McHenry counties. Its growth has continued to this day. Stuart Paddock Jr. died in 2002.

Today, the Daily Herald's motto is, "Big Picture, Local Focus" because it covers both international and national news as well as news local to its circulation area.

The Daily Herald was made partially employee-owned in 1972, but the Paddock family transferred their interest to the paper's employee stock ownership plan in 2018 as part of their effort to ensure the paper remains locally owned.

"steroid" spelled wrong
I copied this from your article

"The male and female gonads produce stroid sex hormones"

As you can see, steroid is spelled as "stroid". I researched stroid on the internet, and most of what i found were a few truck websites, as well as a town called "stroid". Of course, none of these are related to the gonad topic. For now, ill correct stroid to "steroid". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.177.11.143 (talk) 08:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC).

two pints a day?
Gonads in human males are capable of producing two pints of spermatazoa in a single day.

That sounds like an awful lot of sperm per day.

Gender bias?
Why does this have testicles but NOT ovaries?

Requested move 13 August 2014

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 08:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Human gonad → Gonad – The Gonad article should have never been moved to the title Human gonad; that move happened in September 2011. The Human gonad article is somewhat general, small, and it can obviously be expanded to include more material. If there is no Gonad article, there shouldn't be a Human gonad article. Per WP:Disambiguation, things should not be disambiguated unless there is a need to do so. – Flyer22 (talk) 11:59, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:47, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * A link to the previous move is here, showing Gbmaizol move the article. When Gbmaizol made that move, it had all of the articles (including articles focusing on non-human animals) that mention/link to "gonad" pointing to an article titled Human gonad. This led to SkywardStrike redirecting the Gonad page to the Sex organ article in May 2014. Basically, Gbmaizol's redirect led to messes. Flyer22 (talk) 11:59, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I obviously support the move. Flyer22 (talk) 11:29, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Just a note that, as it was a couple of my edits that triggered this request, I support this request. Wbm1058 (talk) 12:14, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Note: The above was moved from the WP:Requested moves page. If I had seen this move as potentially controversial, then I would have posted a move discussion here myself. Nothing at all controversial about the move I've requested, regardless of if someone disagrees with how a WP:Disambiguation matter should be handled. Flyer22 (talk) 17:03, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I will now alert WP:Anatomy and WP:MED to this move discussion. Flyer22 (talk) 17:05, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Alerted here and here. Flyer22 (talk) 17:17, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I support the move. Very little of the information is specific to humans—possibly just the SRY info. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  19:45, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yup gonad should be mainly about human gonad with a section called "other animals" at the end which links to a page called gonads in other animals. You have my support to adjust all anatomy article to match this. We are humans and thus our articles should be about us by default. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 02:32, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Axl and Jmh649 (Doc James). In this particular case, once the article is significantly expanded, I think we should settle for having an Other animals section for non-human animals, per MEDMOS, before having an article about gonads in non-human animals. We should first see if a separate article is warranted; if it's only stub material or can't be expanded much beyond a stub, then we should keep the non-human animal material in the article that mostly focuses on humans. Flyer22 (talk) 02:51, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes exactly Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 02:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose it should be split instead. A more general article covering everything, while the more specific information remaining here. We should not have bias regarding humans. If this is moved, then it should be reformatted so that general information appears first, and humans have a "HUMANS" section instead of "other animals". General information should be presented with no preference towards humans. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 07:14, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

 * IP, how can you argue for a split when, currently, there is barely anything in the article and the article is general enough as it is? We don't split articles for no good reason. This is per WP:Split and WP:Spinout. And as for bias, this matter has been discussed at several medical and anatomy articles; the most extensive discussion is shown at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anatomy/Archive 5. See the reasoning given in that discussion for why we keep the articles consolidated as one until, or if, a split is needed. I disagreed with the closer's comments for the reasons I noted at the bottom of that discussion (the Close discussion). Having an article devoted primarily to humans with an "Other animals" section for non-human animals is generally how medical and anatomy Wikipedia articles work (it's how many non-medical or non-anatomy Wikipedia articles work), especially considering that there often is not a lot to state about the non-human animal aspect. There is no need for a one-sentence or one-paragraph WP:Stub, for example, making our readers unnecessarily go away from the main article for a bit of material on non-human animals. And as for creating a WP:Stub in the hopes that the topic will one day have a lot of material to cover at Wikipedia, that is essentially a WP:CRYSTALBALL matter, a matter better left covered at the main article until there actually is a lot to cover about that aspect. Flyer22 (talk) 07:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

 * WP:NOTFINISHED, we should not assume it will never be expanded. If the move takes place, then any human specific information will need to be segregated into a "humans" section to prevent bias. The treatment of non-humans only as an "other" section is SYSTEMATICBIAS, something we should not endeavor to further. Only specific traits for specific animals should be in such an "other" section. General traits should not be treated as human. Many people in the world already assume humans uniquely have many biological features that are actually shared with much of the animal world. It is very disappointing that we should assume this is a human medical encyclopedia instead of a general encyclopedia. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 04:35, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

 * IP, I disagree with your arguments, whether your second post above or this one, and I disagree per the reasons I stated above. This is not about assuming that a topic will never be expanded or treating general traits as human. If a medical or anatomy topic mostly concerns humans, that article should mostly be about humans, with a subsection about the matter among non-human animals. Cancer, for example, is primarily a human topic. It is not as extensively studied/documented in non-human animals. Therefore, we don't have a Cancer in non-human animals article; we have an Other animals section in the Cancer article for the topic of cancer in non-human animals. If that topic needed a Wikipedia article, it would have one. We should not be creating stub articles based on an assertion of systematic bias. Also take notice that WP:Systematic bias, as discussed before on that page's talk page, does not concern non-human animals. We should be focused on what best benefits our readers and Wikipedia as a whole. The vast majority of readers that type in "cancer" will no doubt be looking for the human aspect of cancer; so the WP:Primary topic is the human aspect, and that human aspect should therefore simply be titled Cancer, not Human cancer. It's similar regarding anatomy topics where there is not much detail out there about non-human animals. For example, the hymen and vagina (especially the hymen) are nowhere close to being as extensively studied in non-human animals as they are in humans. Wikipedia articles should be comprehensive. And if a topic is covered in both humans and non-human animals, then the article that is primarily about humans should cover non-human animals unless the article title has the word human in it, implying that non-human animals are excluded from the article. The way we do this is with an Other animals section. If the topic needs its own Wikipedia article, then there will be a link in that section to the Wikipedia article. We should not have a stub article simply because the topic may one day be able to be expanded beyond a stub. If that stub material can be adequately placed in a more comprehensive article, it should go there until, if it ever, requires its own Wikipedia article. What best suits readers is to have that little bit of information covered in the main article, not to have them go to a separate article for that little bit of material. Flyer22 (talk) 14:13, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

 * In my opinion, articles of this type, if named in a general manner, should have human specific traits segregated into a section such as "human X", while general traits are treated before it, and other specific animal traits treated in sections such as "other". I think we should educate the general public that these things are not solely human traits. If there is a combined article, rather than separate general and human articles, a general treatment should come first, before focus on humans, which should be done in a "humans" section. I think we can agree that we disagree on this matter. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 04:36, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

 * If there is an Other animals section in the article (and, really, per WP:Lead, the matter should also be noted in the lead), the public is still informed that the diseases or anatomical traits are not solely human. But, yes, I agree to disagree with you on this topic. We would clearly mostly be repeating ourselves to continue this discussion any further. Flyer22 (talk) 04:47, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. Move back to how it was.  There is nothing special enough about human gonads to treat them differently from animal gonads.  The difference between human and dog testes is small compared to the difference between testes and ovaries.  There is no apparent call to expand gonads to human and non-human.  I don't think that plants have gonads.  In plant reproductive morphology, there are stamens and carpels, but not gonads.  I seem to see that most literature on gonads involves caterpillars.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:00, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Jack Grisham

Jack Grisham (born July 22, 1961) is an American rock singer from Southern California. He is the vocalist for the punk rock band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), which emerged from the late 1970s Los Angeles hardcore punk rock scene, along with Black Flag, Circle Jerks and Bad Religion. Grisham has also fronted the bands Vicious Circle, the Joykiller, Tender Fury and Cathedral of Tears. He records with T.S.O.L., the Joykiller and the Manic Low.

Early life
Jack Grisham was born in Long Beach, California. Grisham's father, a career military man with 30 years in the Navy and Coast Guard, died in 1984. Grisham's mother was a military housewife. Grisham was one of five children and has an older sister, two older brothers, and a younger sister.

Grisham's older sister was part of the hippie subculture (or as he calls it, "Late 60's protest crap"). As a result, by the time he was six years old, Grisham was reading publications like Fritz the Cat and Zap Comix, and listening to albums by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, the Beach Boys, the Ventures, etc. Grisham cites the albums We're Only in it for the Money and Let it Bleed as two of his musical influences.

In his early life, Grisham's family moved back to Long Beach, California. Growing up, he was a rebellious youth heavily into surfing, skateboarding, and in his words "causing trouble."

While in high school, he met future T.S.O.L. drummer Todd Barnes through a girlfriend. Grisham and Barnes became friends, and took off with the girlfriend's guitar and amplifier and began playing around with sounds. In the beginning, Grisham claims, "All we did was make a bunch of noise and yell, ‘Fuck the neighbors’ all day."

Adult life
While in his teens, Grisham started experimenting with mood altering substances. Soon he became addicted to drugs and alcohol. He recalled, "I was a nut. I used to think I didn't have a problem because I didn't shoot up and I didn't take acid."

After several minor tangles with the law stemming from his drug and alcohol abuse, Grisham married a 16-year-old girl in Mexico, which he claims got him on the road to sobriety. When asked how he got sober in a 2008 interview, Grisham said, "Actually, I married an underage girl. I wanted her to get clean. I said I would support her. I was like, "Hey, I'll support you so you can get help. I'll go to the meetings too. Then she ended up leaving and I ended up staying."

Grisham has been sober since January 1989. He has two daughters, Anastasia and Georgia, and resides in Huntington Beach, California.

Vicious Circle
In 1978, Grisham began rehearsing as lead vocalist with future Joneses/The Klan/A.K.A. guitarist Steve Houston (a.k.a. Steve Dead) to form Vicious Circle with bassist Laddy Tirrell and future T.S.O.L. drummer Todd Barnes. Vicious Circle quickly got a following within the beach cities and Los Angeles punk rock scene. Vicious Circle was notorious for Ultra-violence at shows in the early days of punk rock. Grisham is later quoted as saying "Whatever the logic, the Vicious Circle was a maniac attractor."
 * A recording of Vicious Circle was made in 1978 consisting of 2 separate practice tapes and ultimately released in 2013 by TKO Records as an E.P. record of (200) copies on white vinyl with blue spatter.

True Sounds of Liberty (T.S.O.L.)
Childhood friends Grisham and Barnes were joined by Ron Emory and Mike Roche to form T.S.O.L. The original line-up of the band was Grisham on vocals, Ron Emory on guitars, Mike Roche on bass, and Todd Barnes on drums.

T.S.O.L.'s initial line-up gained fans from the hardcore punk, art punk, death punk, deathrock, horror punk, and goth genres. During his time with T.S.O.L., the band was notorious for their controversial, transgressive, and political lyrics. Jack Grisham brought a darker fashion and sound deathrock to the highly political punk rock scene in Southern California, in particular, Long Beach, California painting his face white, dressing in all-black goth clothes and doing photo-shoots in cemetery locations in the dead of night. The True Sounds Of Liberty were among the first waves of Southern California bands which embarked upon Nationwide tours performing "punk rock" and "death rock" music in 1982 and also 1983 along with contemporaries such as Black Flag and the Circle Jerks which embraced D.I.Y. ethos of the early punk rock scene self-financing their concert tours with little to no outside assistance from the record industry.

The original T.S.O.L. broke up on January 9, 1983, following the infamous S.I.R. Studios "Sunset Strip" Riot at a headlining T.S.O.L. show featuring Redd Kross, Social Distortion, Los Olvidados. The space was filled to capacity with fans and punks alike outside the venue when violence ensued. Grisham walked away from the band and violence, which was reaching unprecedented levels. Ron Emory and Mike Roche enlisted vocalist Joe Wood, Grisham's brother-in-law at the time to fill the void left by his absence and drummer Mitch Dean for departing drummer Todd Barnes. They played music that started as punk rock, but, with each new album changed to blues-inspired (hair metal). They spent several years touring and recording under the name T.S.O.L. After leaving TSOL, Grisham's interests included the use of synthesizers, declaring in a 1984 interview that synthesizers were "a meaningful addition to any group," but "They're just too new. Synthesizers are like punck rock. Everyone hated punck rock when it first came out. No one wants change."

The original T.S.O.L. reformed in 1989, but Todd Barnes died of a brain aneurysm in 1999. T.S.O.L. has been touring and recording steadily since 1999.

The Joykiller
Grisham and Ron Emory formed The Joykiller in 1995 along with Billy Persons (The Weirdos/Gun Club) on bass, Ronnie King on keyboards, and Chris Lagerborg on drums. The Joykiller released three albums on Epitaph records prior to disbanding in 1998 and had a minor radio hit in the Netherlands with the song "Go-Bang." They later released their Greatest Non-Hits in 2003.

The Manic Low
In the fall of 2011, Grisham launched into another musical endeavor with his band "the Manic Low". Their debut album, Songs For An Up Day, was released on Moonlight Graham Records in June 2012.

Film
Grisham appeared as himself in the movies American Hardcore and the Geza X film Rage: 20 Years of Punk Rock West Coast Style (2001)(he also wrote the title track "Spit Up the Rage"). In the 1984 Penelope Spheeris film Suburbia, he appeared with T.S.O.L. performing "Wash Away" and "Darker My Love." In (2020) Grisham wrote and directed the short film "288," and in (2021) directed the feature length documentary "Ignore Heroes."

Politics
In the early years of T.S.O.L., Grisham was an outspoken anarchist, and his lyrics were often highly critical of the government. Songs such as "Abolish Government/Silent Majority," "Peace Thru Power," and "Property Is Theft" were standard in T.S.O.L.'s song sets. Grisham later changed his anti-government stance, stating, "What I realized about anarchy is that we are not responsible enough to be anarchist. There's no way possible. We're not responsible enough to be that. That's a heavy concept."

Grisham was one of 135 candidates who ran for governor in the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election, receiving 2,200 votes. He ran on a social democratic platform as incumbent Democratic governor Gray Davis was recalled. During his campaign, he stressed health care and education, and supported the teaching in school of religious tolerance. A historic concert event featuring The Adolescents, T.S.O.L., Youth Brigade and more was cast in an effort to raise awareness to the campaign on Sunday, October 5, 2003 at the Henry Fonda theater in Los Angeles, California

Writing
In 2011, Grisham released his first novel An American Demon: A Memoir. In August 2015 Grisham released A Principle of Recovery: An Unconventional Journey Through the Twelve Steps, a book that walks you through the twelve steps of recovery from Grisham's perspective as a long time person in recovery. In late 2021, Grisham released a noir novel. It is about a character named Arthur which is based on Jack himself, including many characteristics of Jack when he was on his road to sobriety. The back cover blurb of the book states: “When the ghosts of dreams bleed into real life, hard charging Arthur Chance must leave behind his isolation and step into the world of murder, extortion, and double-crossing lovers. Violence and retribution stand heavy in the wings, but will Arthur become lion or lamb?”

Perlin (falconry)

The word perlin is a falconer's term for a hybrid of a peregrine falcon and a merlin. It is much bigger and faster than a merlin, but is not as big as a peregrine, so the quarry it takes varies from larger songbirds to small game birds such as hen pheasants. It is less likely to fly as high as a peregrine and usually rings close to the falconer. As a rule, the peregrine is the father and the merlin is the mother.

Other hybrids may occur, such as 3/4 perlins, where there are three parts peregrine to one part merlin. Hybrids' percentages can be as varied as 50/50 to 7/8 and 15/16 perlins.

Correction?
I've heard the audio of Nagin's "chocolate city" speech quite a few times... and I believe one of these quotes is slightly wrong...

"Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses."

I believe he phrased it more like this...

"Surely he is not 'approval' of us being in Iraq..."

I must note that I am not currently listening to the audio, but check it out folks, you'll hear what I'm taking about.

Someone keeps putting back in PR nonsense...
Someone keeps editing this page to re-insert a bunch of PR nonsense, which is irrelevant, of dubious authority, and sourced only to Nagin's self-published memoir. I'm going to delete them out one more time in a day or so, unless there are objections here.

If they get put back in again, I'm going to take them out and ask for the page to be locked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djcheburashka (talk • contribs) 23:58, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

More puffery and note 23...
Every time I come back to this page someone's gone through it and tried to re-write it to be fully of puffery. Right now there are a whole series of dubious hagiographic claims all citing the same thing, citation number 23. Its difficult to understand how claims about the content of 5 different documents released over a 10-year period could be sourced to one citation. But putting that aside, there is no citation 23. It's an incomplete URL that links to nothing.

If no-one objects in a week I'm going to take out all the citation 23 stuff. That happens to be most of his first term, so I'm going to revert that to the last neutral version.

It was so bad, they had to share with their neighbors and they all basically became babysitters and cooks for each other and their children, but that's another thing. Limos were too expensive. They used those oldie cars — like the ones that you see as an image typical of America today, credit to the fifties and sixties — for weddings.

Economic effects of Hurricane Katrina

The economic effects of Hurricane Katrina, which hit Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Mississippi in late August 2005, were far-reaching.

In 2006, the Bush administration sought over $100 billion for repairs and reconstruction in the region, making the storm the costliest natural disaster in US history. This does not account for damage to the economy caused by potential interruption of the oil supply and exports of commodities such as cotton. Before Hurricane Katrina, the region supported approximately one million non-farm jobs, with 600,000 of them in New Orleans. One study, by Mark Burton and Michael J. Hicks, estimated the total economic impact to Louisiana and Mississippi may exceed $150 billion. Hundreds of thousands of residents of southern Louisiana and Mississippi, including nearly everyone who lived in New Orleans, were left unemployed. No paychecks were being cashed and no money was being spent, and therefore no taxes were being collected by local governments. The lack of revenue will limit the resources of the affected communities and states for years to come. Before the storm, the region was already one of the poorest in America with one of the highest unemployment rates.

There was also some concern when, on September 8, 2005, President Bush temporarily suspended the Davis-Bacon Act in the affected areas, which allowed for contractors working on Federal construction projects to be paid less than the prevailing local wage. The concerns over these actions were primarily that allowing the government to pay less than the prevailing wage would contribute to increased poverty in the region, which already ranked among the lowest in the nation in terms of household income. The act was later reinstated on October 26, 2005, amid political pressure from both Democrats and Republicans in the United States Congress.

Oil production

The storm interrupted oil production, importation, and refining in the Gulf eden, thus having a major effect on fuel prices. Before the storm, one-tenth of all the crude oil consumed in the United States and almost half of the gasoline produced in the country came from refineries in the states along the Gulf's shores. An additional 24% of the natural gas supply is extracted or imported in the region. Furthermore, the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve is also stored in this region.

Power outages in the wake of Katrina have also caused distribution problems for oil and natural gas. Pipelines which move petroleum products from places like Houston to areas of the east coast have had their flows interrupted because power outages shut down the pumps that kept materials flowing. Dick Cheney personally called the manager of the Southern Pines Electric Power Association on the night of August 30 and again the next morning and ordered him to divert power crews to substations in nearby Collins that were essential to the operation of the Colonial Pipeline, which carries gasoline and diesel fuel from Texas to the Northeast.

At least twenty offshore oil platforms were missing, sunk, or had gone adrift, according to the United States Coast Guard. One oil rig, in dock for repairs before the storm, broke loose and hit the Cochrane/Africatown USA road bridge over the Mobile River in Mobile, Alabama. Two others went adrift in the Gulf of Mexico, but they were recovered. One platform, originally located 12 mi (20 km) off the Louisiana coast, has washed up onshore at Dauphin Island, Alabama. Shell Oil Company's MARS platform, producing around 147000 oilbbl per day, was also severely damaged.

At 7:03 a.m. CDT on August 29, Ted Falgout, Port Director of Port Fourchon, Louisiana, a key oil and gas hub 60 mi (100 km) south of New Orleans on the Gulf of Mexico, reported that the port had taken a direct hit from the hurricane. The port services approximately 16% of the nation's supply of crude oil and natural gas. According to Falgout, Hurricane Katrina, "will impact oil and gas infrastructure, not just short term but long term as well. The impact of the storm — the Gulf is shut down; all of the area of the storm is shut down; a half billion dollars a day of oil and gas is unavailable." The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, which imports 11% of all U.S. oil consumption, closed on August 27, and Shell reported a reduction in production of 420000 oilbbl/d. The port was undamaged by the storm and resumed operation within hours of getting power back.

Due to fears that the production of oil in the United States will be cut by up to one-third of normal capacity, the price of oil fluctuated greatly. West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures reached a record high of over $70 per barrel ($0.44/L). There were many reports to Louisiana authorities and elsewhere of price gouging, not only for gasoline, but also for other needed items such as bottled water. In some areas, gasoline was being sold for as much as $6 per gallon ($1.59 per liter). One BP station in Stockbridge, Georgia, south of Atlanta, was selling gas at $5.87 per gallon ($1.55 per liter) less than a day after Katrina hit. Just before the storm, average fuel prices were approximately $2.50 per US gallon ($0.66/L). International oil prices also rose. In the United Kingdom, pump prices for unleaded petrol (gas) hit £1 per litre ($7 per U.S. gallon) for the first time in a significant number of places (averaging about 95p), a rise of about 3% from pre-Katrina prices. Wholesale prices were up 5% by September 6.

Long lines developed at some gas stations throughout the U.S. as customers rushed to buy gasoline, anticipating price increases in the wake of the storm. Emphasizing the seriousness of the situation and in light of similar incidents in his own state, Governor Mike Easley of North Carolina has issued a statement asking all North Carolinians to conserve gas, limit fuel consumption and non-essential road trips, and for state employees to car pool. On the day of the Governor's announcement, many gas stations around the state ran out of gas and lines were formed at others.

By 12:00 p.m. CDT on August 31, eight Gulf of Mexico refineries remained shut down and one was operating at reduced capacity. Evaluation of five of the eight refineries was delayed due to limited access. Aside from the problems involved in restarting the refineries (which is a lengthy process) there were additional major issues with worker housing, since a large proportion of homes were destroyed by the hurricane.

The Environmental Protection Agency moved to reduce prices by temporarily lifting fuel standards in America until September 15. Some crude oil was also released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, as well, to combat prices as major economic consequences were predicted if prices remained high for a long period of time — leading consumer spending to drop and causing many foreign economies, especially in Asia, to suffer. President Bush also temporarily waived the Jones Act, allowing foreign oil companies to ship oil between ports of the United States.

By September 7, Gulf oil production had returned to 42% of normal. Of 10 refineries that were shut down by Katrina, four were expected to be back at full capacity within a week, however another four could be out of commission for months.

Gambling and entertainment
Katrina forced many casinos along the Mississippi Gulf Coast to close and evacuate. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was scheduled to open the first week of September, but did not open until June 30, 2007. The Beau Rivage was severely damaged by water that reached the third floor, but seems to have suffered the least damage of the beachfront casinos. Grand Casino Biloxi had its mammoth gaming barge blown across U.S. 90. Treasure Bay's pirate ship was heavily damaged and washed ashore, it was subsequently dismantled down to the underlying barge. The President Casino Biloxi was washed across U.S. 90 and landed on top of a Holiday Inn, nearly a mile (1.6 km) from the casino's berth.

In Gulfport, the western Grand Casino Gulfport barge, containing Kid's Quest, washed across U.S. 90 and was left blocking the highway. The Copa Casino barge was pushed onto land next to the Grand Casino Gulfport's parking garage. Casino Magic and Isle of Capri in Biloxi both suffered heavy damage to their gaming barges, likely beyond repair. Before the storm, at least 14,000 people were employed at Gulf Coast casinos.

Six Flags New Orleans was shut down to prepare for the storm and begin evacualtion procedures.

Harrah's New Orleans closed shortly before the storm and sustained storm damage. The building was also used by first responders as a base of operations in the days following the storm. The casino reopened on February 17, 2006, just in time for Mardi Gras, and the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, reopened on August 29, 2006, on the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall. The Grand Casino Biloxi is undergoing extensive renovation, and is expected to reopen during the summer of 2006. The Grand Casino Gulfport was destroyed as portions of the structure collapsed across Highway 90 and was demolished.

Mississippi will lose approximately $500,000 in tax revenue for each day that the Biloxi-area riverboat casinos are closed, and about $140,000 per day for the South River region casinos. As a comparison, in 2004, Mississippi earned $2.7 billion in casino revenues, third behind Nevada and New Jersey ($10.3 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively).

Katrina was directly related to the controversial National Basketball Association Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City. New Orleans' NBA franchise was forced to move temporarily; the Hornets (now known as the Pelicans after Saints owner Tom Benson purchased the team in 2013) chose a mix of the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, and the Ford Center in Oklahoma City while New Orleans Arena was being rebuilt. The success of the Hornets in the Ford Center (which the Hornets had a deal where the team would split its games for two years) directly led to Oklahoma City interests purchasing the Seattle SuperSonics, which was for sale, and move to become the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008.

Agriculture and forestry
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the national impact of Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast crops was minimal, with most of the damage borne by minor producers of major crops (corn, soybeans, and cotton). The main impact of the storm on agriculture is likely to involve ocean shipping and exports. In 2004, 22% of U.S. wheat exports, 71% of corn exports, and 65% of soybean exports passed through Gulf ports. Shipping did not occur until later in the fall, when ports would again be operational.

In addition to the 50 Mississippi counties covered by the Presidential primary natural disaster designation, the USDA declared an additional 31 counties as primary agricultural disaster areas. This made farmers and other agricultural producers eligible for low interest emergency loans to cover losses. The remaining four Mississippi counties were classified as, "contiguous" and were also eligible for assistance.

Gulfport, Mississippi serves as a major ocean shipping port for the southern United States, which was found to be inoperable for as much as one year. Chiquita, Dole, Crowley, Gearbulk, P&O, and others had significant operations in Gulfport. On a short-term basis these companies have relocated necessary operations to unaffected ports.

Forestry constitutes a major industry in southern Mississippi, accounting for 10% of all jobs in the state. According to the Mississippi Forestry Commission, Hurricane Katrina caused significant damage to 1.3 million acres (5,300 km2) of forestland in the state. The greatest damage occurred from the coastal counties northward to Laurel, with heavy damage to pine forests in Hancock, Harrison, and Pearl River countries.

An estimated 14.6 million cords (52,900,000 m³) of paperwood and 3.2 billion board feet (7,600,000 m³) of sawtimber were destroyed. The estimated economic impact of this loss was $1.3 billion. Additionally, there was an estimated $1.1 billion in damage to urban trees in 181 Mississippi communities.

Utilities
The local electric utility Entergy Corporation was impacted severely, and Entergy New Orleans filed for bankruptcy protection on September 23, 2005. The company cited lower revenue and storm restoration costs as the primary cause. Parent company Entergy Corporation promptly arranged $100 million in financing.

Insurance Response
The Insurance Information Institute reports that Hurricane Katrina was the costliest disaster in the history of insurance. It said that the insurance industry paid $41.1 billion ($45.1 billion in 2009 dollars) and more than 1.7 million claims – across six states. Some 15,000 claims adjusters from across the country were called in to handle the record number of claims for damage to homes, businesses and vehicles. Louisiana accounted for 63 percent of insured losses and Mississippi accounted for one-third. In addition, the federal government-operated National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) paid out $16.1 billion in claims from flooding. Damage from flooding, including storm surge from a hurricane, is covered by the NFIP, but is not covered under standard homeowners insurance policies. The institute also said another $2 billion to $3 billion of insured damages occurred at off-shore energy facilities.

You Can't Be True, Dear

"You Can't Be True, Dear" is a popular German song.

History
It was originally written as a German language song, "Du Kannst Nicht Treu Sein," by composer Hans Otten and lyricist Gerhard Ebeler. English language lyrics and title were written by Hal Cotten.

In 1948, Ken Griffin recorded the song, first released as an instrumental and later with vocalist Jerry Wayne dubbing the lyrics, both of which became popular in releases by an independent company, Rondo Records. A number of other versions were also recorded that year.

The recording by Ken Griffin and Jerry Wayne was released by Rondo Records as catalog number 228. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on April 2, 1948 staying at #1 for seven weeks. The instrumental recording by Ken Griffin was released by Rondo Records as catalog number 128. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on July 2, 1948 peaking at #2. Both the vocal and solo organ versions charted for 23 weeks and sold an estimated 3,500,000 copies. Note that this version was recorded and released first, but charted after the vocal version.

Renditions
A number of other versions were also recorded in 1948.

The recording by Dick Haymes with The Song Spinners was released by Decca Records as catalog number 24439. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on May 28, 1948, and lasted 13 weeks on the chart, peaking at #9. Both sides of this recording were cover versions of bigger hits, but both charted; the flip side was "Nature Boy", a major hit for Nat King Cole.

The recording by The Sportsmen was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 15077. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on May 28, 1948, and lasted 13 weeks on the chart, peaking at #11. The flip side, "Toolie Oolie Doolie," also charted.

The recording by The Marlin Sisters was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 38211. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on June 4, 1948, and lasted 4 weeks on the chart, peaking at #19. The flip side, "Toolie Oolie Doolie," also charted (oddly enough, in both The Sportsmen's and the Marlin Sisters' version, the same song was the flip side and in both cases, both sides made the charts).

The recording by Dick James was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-2944. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on June 25, 1948, and lasted 2 weeks on the chart, peaking at #19. This was his only charting hit.

Two artists in the United Kingdom also recorded the song at about the same time. Vera Lynn recorded the song on March 10, 1948, which was released by the UK Decca label under catalog number F-8883, and Dolores Gray made a recording on August 13, 1948, released by the UK Columbia label under catalog number DB 2451.

Vera Lynn's recording also charted in the United States. This recording was released by London Records as catalog number 202. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on May 21, 1948, and lasted 7 weeks on the chart, peaking at #14.

A revival of the song by Patti Page (Columbia Records catalog number 4-44345) became popular in 1965, spending 8 weeks on the Billboard Easy listening music chart, peaking at #11.

Resource -- Impact on Housing Market
(From ResourceShelf's DocuTicker)
 * Housing Market--Hurricane Katrina | Source: National Association of Home Builders

NAHB Releases Study On Impact Of Katrina
 * "The full extent of the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the overall economy and on the housing market is still unclear, and the immediate focus is properly on human life and health, but the number of homes destroyed by this catastrophe is almost certain to dwarf the losses from any previous U.S. natural disaster. Past experience, together with the visible devastation, provides some basis for projecting the effects on construction activity, the supply and cost of building materials and construction labor, and other implications for the housing market."

Proposed merger of effects.
Given their closeness in time and location, it strikes me that it will soon become difficult to separate the respective economic, political, and social effects of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. How would my fellow editors feel about moving the articles covering these aspects to Economic effects of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, Political effects of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, and Social effects of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season? -- BD2412 talk 00:10, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

COmment by someone else Need to discuss the impact on insurance and reinsurance! Insurance companies paid out $ billions, some of which was reimbursed by the reinsurers. Reinsurers raised their prices, restricted capacity, so insurance companies couldn't risk writing as much insurance in hurricane-prone areas.

Nothing but an advertisment including links to all of their tours.-- GraemeL (talk) 14:40, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or Speedy Totally unsalvagable adspam, attempt to Googlebomb (many links to same site in one article). Also, it's a copyvio of http://www.acaciasafari.co.ug/ ...apparently just a cut & paste job. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  14:52, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, it did look like a copyvio to me, but I couldn't find the correct source. Hence the AfD. --GraemeL (talk) 15:01, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem. For future reference, my favourite way to check for web copyvios is to pick an uncommon phrase (in this case I used "Please feel free to inquire about any custom-made tours in Uganda") and Google for it in quotes.  It came right up. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  15:29, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * delete as ad-spam. I have tagged this as a copyvio, replacing the content, so others here will need to look at the history to see what was there. This is a good way to avoid spam being picked up by search engines whle the deletion process plays out. DES (talk) 16:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Gsch! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

 * 1) André Hediger -

Speedy deletion nomination of André Hediger

A tag has been placed on André Hediger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Alexf(talk) 21:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Robin Shackell moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Robin Shackell, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:36, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Robin Shackell
Hello, Gsch. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Robin Shackell, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:01, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
