Al Harrington (actor)

Al Harrington (born Tausau Ta'a; December 12, 1935 – September 21, 2021) was a Samoan-American actor. He is best known for his role as Detective Ben Kokua on television series Hawaii Five-O and as Mamo Kahike on its 2010 reboot. He had previously appeared in five episodes of the series as other characters.

Biography
Al Harrington was born Tausau Ta'a on December 12, 1935, in Pago Pago, American Samoa. He was raised by his maternal grandmother in the village of Mapusaga in Pago Pago until he was three. His mother, Lela Suapaia, sent for him to join her while she was working as a nurse in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. She later married Roy Milbur Harrington a native of Iron Mountain, Michigan, who had come to Honolulu as a serviceman with the US Army. The elder Harrington later became a member of the Honolulu Police Department. However, it was not until Al Harrington's sophomore year in high school that he took his stepfather's last name.

He excelled at theater and American football at Punahou School, where he was a member of the class of 1954. He participated in several productions at the school while at the same time wowed people on the football field. He led his team to the league championships at Honolulu Stadium and was the first high school football All-American to come out of Hawaii.

Before transferring to Stanford University, Al attended Menlo College, a private business school location in Atherton, CA, from 1954-1955, where he was close friends with the soon to be Kingston Trio's Nick Reynolds ‘56 and Bob Shane ‘56. Al Harrington then went on to play for Stanford University, where he aspired to become a drama major. Unfortunately, there was some opposition to minority drama majors there. When he graduated in 1958 with a B.A. in History, the Baltimore Colts were interested in him. However, it did not offer the kind of money American professional football teams now offer, so he returned to Honolulu. Also, in order to pay for his tuition, he would work as a Polynesian dancer. It was this interesting occupation that led to an appearance on the game show To Tell the Truth.

On his return to Hawaii, Harrington would eventually work as a history teacher at Punahou and professor at the University of Hawaii. He also performed for many years as an entertainer in Waikiki, earning the well-known moniker of "The South Pacific Man". His popularity in the 1970s and 1980s made him a household name in Hawaii. He had a long running dance revue show, including Tahitian fire dancing, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. And, along with other entertainers such as Don Ho, he helped define the entertainment industry in Hawaii, known to tourists and dignitaries alike from around the world.

Harrington was one of the few supporting cast members of Hawaii Five-O still alive, along with Sharon Farrell and Dennis Chun (also the son of Kam Fong, he had spot cameos). Harrington and Chun had recurring roles as Mamo Kahike and Sgt. Duke Lukela respectively in the 2010 reboot. He also appeared as Uncle John in three episodes of Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. on Disney+ in 2021.

Harrington died at 85 in Honolulu, Hawaii, on September 21, 2021, after suffering a massive stroke. He is survived by his wife, Rosa Harrington, sons Alema and Tau, daughters Summer Harrington and Cassi Harrington Palmer, and several grandchildren.

Religion and family
Harrington was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had one of the lead parts in The Testaments, a film produced by the LDS Church. He also played the role of Thomas Trueblood in Light of the World, A Celebration of Life, that was put on by the LDS Church in Salt Lake City during the Olympics there in 2002.

Al's sons Alema and Tau Harrington both attended Punahou School and later played football at Brigham Young University.

Talk:Machinae Supremacy

Rewrite
I propose to clean up this page as it is somewhat of a mish-mash.. but I'm not sure how to procede, I'm going to put Deus Ex Machinae and the JnG soundtracks on different pages but what about the 'promo' and additional songs? --Rehevkor 02:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Free songs can probably stay here. The JnG soundtrack should probably be integrated into the Jets'n'Guns page.--DooM Drat 14:07, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Genre
Definitely more 'power metal' than 'melodic hard rock' - changed accordingly.

 * Sorry, but MaSu are not power metal in any way, shape or form. The closest they've come to the description is "I Turn to You", and that was a cover.  "Alternative metal" would be a better classification.
 * I highly recommend that you listen to actual power metal bands such as Helloween, Blind Guardian, HammerFall, Rhapsody, Running Wild, DragonForce and Sabaton before you make such a classification to any metal band that has melodies and clean singing in their music. — Kuuenbu 19:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure I agree with you.. but what the hell. Rehevkor 12:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the "SID Metal" tab belongs there, exactly. It's not even a genre, really. I mean, you don't see "Opera Metal" on Nightwish's page or "Hollywood Metal" on Rhapsody's. Power metal might be more appropriate. I don't really know, though. Indy Aaron 23:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Their website seems to be down, but not the forums. 82.154.70.225 10:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I think Their genre should be SID metal. If a band creates their own genre and its music is hard to fit in any other genre it should be kept--Slogankid 15:56, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It's not that hard to fit them into other genres. They fit into Power Metal and Bitpop. I vote that we change SID Metal to Power Metal and Bitpop in the infobox, but keep the "Self-defined as SID Metal" bit in the article itself. I shall do this. If I'm out of line, feel free to revert. Waracle 03:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * They seem way more like cyberpunk than anything else. eXcapiZm 00.43, 28 January 2007

 * Cyberpunk is a genre in literature, not music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.208.148.119 (talk) 14:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I vote for SID metal. They define themselves as it, and i'm all for creating new genres. 98.204.185.240 (talk) 02:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)Joshizzle

TTLG & Rise
Please people, TTLG and Rise are not 'promo' tracks, they're album tracks. The songs listed on the main page are the promo tracks. Not album tracks. Rehevkor 22:56, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Pronounce
i'd like to know how to pronounce Machinae Supremacy. can anyone add this, please?

( Call for edit ) The response given on the entry page to this question is incorrect. IMHO the word is spoken akin to 'Mackeenee'. Reason: Machinae is a latin plural of Machina (EN: Machine) so follows the same end sound as for example; Aortae, Larvae, Tesserae. Thanks! Gigapenguin.

The band always said it was pronounced like "machine".. ¬rehevkor¬ 15:23, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Can u show me where it says that. Machinae is pronounced like Gigapenguin said. It IS the plural of Machina and pronounced mac-in-aye if any one speaks Greek this is how the last syllable would be pronounced "αι" as in αρχαιοςπτερυξ Archaeopteryx --Slogankid 08:38, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Erm.. there's a citation right there. ¬rehevkor¬ 14:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

yeah i saw. I swear i put sumthing about realising i was wrong but not admiting it...--Slogankid 19:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Redeemer (album) deletion
Seems someone was nice enough to delete Redeemer (album) as spam. Please don't try re-creating it just yet, trying to get it undeleted.

Whoever deleted it is an idiot. There IS a redeemer album out, the underground edition, and as such there SHOULD be a page about it

 * It's still going strong.. User talk:Eagle 101 ¬rehevkor¬ 14:09, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I've nominated it for undeletion, as the mod who deleted it refused/ignored my request to undelete. Deletion review/Log/2006 November 9 ¬rehevkor¬ 01:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Inja & Hubnester Indistries
I created a pages for Inja, I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with the band to write much about them, so if anyone else can expand on the article that'd be great. Also created one for Hubnester Industries, anyone who can add to it please feel free, I especially want to add to the project list.

WP Bio Rating
It is no longer possible to comment on ratings due to a backlog. Please put any comments/questions on my talk page. GDon4t0 16:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge
I suggest a merge of Robert Stjärnström, Jonas Rörling and Andreas Gerdin into this article. There's not much info that can't be on the Machinae Supremacy page. Maybe in the future they can be given sperate pages but for now it'd be easier to put it on a single page. User:Rehevkor/Machinae Supremacy is where I have a work in progress of what will appear on the main page. Comments/objections? Rehevkor 23:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

A clean-up
This page needs a small clean-up. You have the "webography" (if it has its own article, is there any need of posting the same content on the main page?), and the "members" section has no need for images of the band members. Slayer425 00:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If there're parts of the article you don't like, then feel free to edit it as such.Rehevkor 01:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Play! tense
The paragraph about the Play! concert is in future tense, even though the date has passed. It should be changed to past tense. Meneth 09:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Good article nomination
I feel the article has reached a point were is can be considered for GA status, I've worked very hard on it and it should now be developed enough to fit the criteria. Rehevkor 21:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I began checking the references - they seem to contradict - An Interview with Machinae Supremacy - Remix64 reference says the band used FLAK for political songs, so that Machinae Supremacy could stay neutral. Then the next reference which is from a Official Machinae Supremacy Forum says Flak did influence Machinae Supremacy songs.  Which reference is correct?  I don't know if a forum is valid as a reference citation.  I was expecting the 5th reference named FLAK to state /  support the statement about the band members, but rather it just contained some song lyrics of FLAK.  Can this sentence In their music they attempted to carry a vibe of self-confidence, enlightenment and encouragement for people to take control of their own lives be re-worded or else directly quote from the third reference titled: Machinae Supremacy - About.  That is as far as I got on reference checking.  As far as the other GA criteria: well written-OK; (MoS)- OK; broad in its coverage - need another opinion on this aspect; neutral point of view policy-OK; stable-OK; images-OKSriMesh |  talk  04:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

GA Review
Overall a decent article, but a few major issues and a few lesser ones forced me to fail its GA nomination, as detailed below:
 * The biggest problem with the article are the sources of information. Nearly every one of them fails WP:V, WP:RS, etc.  In fact, there's only about 3-4 of the citations that are reliable, the main problem being that most sources are from the band itself.
 * The Fair Use template of Image:Machinae Supremacy.png is incomplete. Not all the fields have been filed out, and the source field should actually provide a link.
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:04, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Image:Machinae Supremacy logo.jpg is missing a Fair Use rationale altogether.
 * ✅ Image no longer exists. Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * The page for the first audio samples needs to be reworked. Since it was distributed freely, I don't think fair-use applies.  So replace the Fair-use rationale/tag with something more appropriate.
 * Follow-up: Given the circumstances of it's release, I'm not sure what license would actually apply. I would recommend bringing up this question to the good folks at WP:NFCC.  They are very knowledgeable with this kind of thing and are generally very helpful with random questions like this. Drewcifer (talk) 18:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I've asked there and it seems I was right to classify the media under fair use. While it is freely released it is still copyrighted and lacks the necessary free licence. Rehevkor (talk) 15:40, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, my mistake. Consider the above bullet point taken care of. Drewcifer (talk) 02:04, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ In that case then. Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Citations should come immediately after punctuation without a space. This. Not this.
 * ✅ Should have got them all. Rehevkor (talk) 21:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Bolding the band's name in the first sentence of the Band history section is unnecessary.
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * "but it was only a few months later the band found the path they wanted to follow." What the heck does that mean?
 * ✅ Wikiblame was unable to find any entry containing this, and the article does not contain this text. Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * "so instead of sending demos to record labels they sent the songs straight to the audience." is worded very unencyclopedically.
 * ✅ I think.. removed most of the offending section. Rehevkor (talk) 16:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Numbers below 10 should be spelled out. "Nine" not "9."
 * ✅ Bocom (talk) 20:39, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Per WP:EL, external links within the prose should be avoided (i.e. "In 2001 machinae.2y.net was launched")
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * ". In 2001 machinae.2y.net was launched, boasting around 9 songs, the band used the free audio codec Ogg Vorbis, as well as MP3, to distribute them." Is a run-on sentence and is a mess gramatically.
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * "Despite being the band's first songs, the recordings were high quality and helped the band prove themselves to their early fans." Is an opinion.  This sentence should be taken out completely.
 * ✅ Was removed on 18 November 2007. Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * "Great Giana Sisters" should be italicized when referring to the original videogame (same with "Jets'n'Guns"), and in quotations when referring to the song. Loot Burn Rape Kill Repeat and Multiball are both songs right?  So they should be in quotes rather than italicized.  The same rules apply to "Metallica's's One during a Guitar Hero segment."
 * ✅ Not by me though. Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * The two audio samples are formatted a little weird. They should ideally be in a box off to the side, rather than break up the prose.  Check out the audio samples for The Smashing Pumpkins for a good example.
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The blockquote for the FLAK thing is completely unnecessary. Incorporate it into the prose like any other quote and move the citation to the end of the quote, not mid-sentence.  Same thing with "Due to different priorities, Johan Palovaara is now leaving the band to pursue other ambitions."
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:04, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * "The album was very well received by fans and the first print of 1000 copies sold out quickly" is POV and should ideally be removed or at least cited.
 * ✅ Removed on 18 November 2007. Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * "Shortly after the release of Deus Ex Machinae 2.0" huh? 2.0?
 * ✅ Reworded and elaborated. Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * "the band were stuck without a record label" is unencyclopedic.
 * ✅ I think.. Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Same with "That did not mean Machinae Supremacy were not busy"
 * ✅ Was removed on 18 November 2007. Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * "and was very well received." is opinion and should be removed.
 * ✅ Supertanno (talk) 23:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Don't link to FLAK, since it just redirects to the same page.
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The External links section is a bit too big. Narrow it down to 3-5 good resources.
 * ✅ Rehevkor (talk) 16:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Overall, my main concern is with the sources of information. If the band's official website is the only source for information about the band, I would predict that it will be impossible to write a GA article for the band. If 3rd party information does exist, I would highly recommend replacing the current sources with those. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the article or my review, feel free to drop my a line on my Talk Page. Drewcifer (talk) 10:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Webography by "compilation" or year
User:DestinyZero recently added the webography tracks in their new compilation format, I feel having all the tracks listed twice is rather pointless and just clogs the article. For now I have listed the compilation under the "Other releases" section, but perhaps if we get a consensus we could replace the by year list with a compilation list. However, I feel the year list should stay as it's basically more informative to see the release years rather than the rather arbitrary compilation list. Rehevkor (talk) 13:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input people. ;) I found another solution! Rehevkor (talk) 23:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

FLAK Redirect
FLAK is an anti-aircraft gun. I have fixed the redirect to point to the correct page instead of this obscure band. If you disagree, please create a disambiguation page. -- Nils —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.152.163.37 (talk) 10:41, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem here, suppose the redirect absent mindedly got sent here when the FLAK article was deleted. Rehevkor ✉  15:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Fandom
MaSu do have quite a large fandom ("Machinae Supremacists"). Although it is nowhere near important enough to require a page of its own, would the MaSu fandom need a section within this page? DotKuro (talk) 16:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

"End of the World" section
Considering that the new album has been out for three months now, I think it deserves a section of its own on the article. Currently, it's still under the Overworld heading, and lacking information. Perhaps the album's history would make a good starting point? Mainframe004 (talk) 07:37, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Steve Sarkisian

Stephen Sarkisian (born March 8, 1974) is an American football coach and former player who is the head football coach at the University of Texas at Austin. He previously served as the head football coach at the University of Washington from 2009 to 2013 and the University of Southern California (USC) from 2014 to 2015.

Sarkisian played college football as a quarterback at Brigham Young University (BYU) and professionally with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Sarkisian served as the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL) from 2017 to 2018 and at the University of Alabama from 2019 to 2020.

USC and El Camino College baseball
After a standout baseball and football career at West High School in Torrance, California, Sarkisian's size (6'0" and 165 lb) did not attract any college football offers. He began his collegiate athletic career in 1992 at the University of Southern California (USC) as a non-scholarship middle infielder on the Trojans baseball team.  He struggled playing NCAA Division I baseball and transferred after a semester to El Camino College, a two-year community college adjacent to his hometown of Torrance, where he played shortstop.

El Camino College football
At the urging of El Camino head football coach John Featherstone, one of his instructors, Sarkisian restarted his football career. As a redshirt freshman in 1993, Sarkisian earned All-Mission Conference honors. In his sophomore season, he was named a junior college All-American after setting a national junior college record by completing 72.4 percent of his passes.

1995
As a junior, Sarkisian transferred to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, for the 1995 season. He was recruited by DeWayne Walker, then an assistant coach for the BYU Cougars. Although Kansas State and Washington State showed interest, Sarkisian chose BYU primarily because the school boasted more combined Davey O'Brien- and Heisman-winning quarterbacks in the last decade than any other had in the previous 50 years of Division I-A. The previous starting quarterback, John Walsh, was also from Torrance and a friend of Sarkisian. Walsh left school a year early to enter the 1995 NFL Draft, creating a void in the depth chart; Sarkisian accepted a scholarship with BYU in December 1994.

At BYU, Sarkisian was coached by offensive coordinator Norm Chow under head coach LaVell Edwards. As a junior, Sarkisian passed for 3,437 yards and 20 touchdowns, earning All-Western Athletic Conference honors. Sarkisian finished the season by completing 31 of 34 passes for 399 yards and three touchdowns in BYU's 45–28 victory over Fresno State. His completion percentage in the game (91.2 percent) set an NCAA record at that time.

1996
As a senior, Sarkisian opened BYU's 1996 season by passing for 536 yards and six touchdowns in the Cougars' 41–37 upset victory over Texas A&M in the Pigskin Classic. The 536 yards passing were the most ever by a player against Texas A&M. Sarkisian finished the game with a 46-yard touchdown pass to K. O. Kealaluhi to seal the victory.

BYU finished the regular season with a 13–1 record, defeating Wyoming, 28–25, in the WAC Championship Game. Sarkisian passed for 4,027 yards and 33 touchdowns during the regular season. His 173.6 passer rating led the entire NCAA. For his efforts, he was named WAC Offensive Player of the Year and a second-team All-American. Sarkisian was also awarded the Sammy Baugh Trophy as the nation's top passer, making him the seventh BYU quarterback to win the honor. He was also featured on the cover of TV Guide in December 1996. BYU finished the season with 19–15 win over Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl Classic. Sarkisian threw a pair of touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to lead the Cougars to a come-from-behind victory. BYU finished the season with a 14–1 record and ranked fifth in the nation in both the AP Poll and Coaches' Poll. The Cougars became the first Division I-A team in NCAA history to win 14 games in a single season. Sarkisian's 162.0 career passing efficiency rating is 18th on the all-time NCAA list.

Sarkisian earned a bachelor degree in sociology from BYU in 1997 after receiving an associate degree in general studies from El Camino in 1994.

Canadian Football League
Sarkisian played professionally for three seasons, 1997 to 1999, for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was a starter in the 1999 season, finishing with 16 touchdown passes and 21 interceptions. His team finished with a dismal 3–15 record, prompting Sarkisian to end his playing career.

El Camino College
Sarkisian's coaching career began in 2000 when he returned to El Camino College as its quarterbacks coach.

USC and Oakland Raiders
The following season, Sarkisian joined his former coach, Norm Chow, at USC. Chow was hired as USC's offensive coordinator by new head coach Pete Carroll. Sarkisian worked as an offensive assistant in 2001 and then as quarterbacks coach in 2002 and 2003. In 2004, Sarkisian moved to the professional ranks as quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders of the NFL. Oakland compiled more than 4,000 passing yards, ranking eighth out of 32 NFL teams in passing yardage. Sarkisian returned to USC for the 2005 season with the title of assistant head coach added to his duties as quarterbacks coach. In January 2007, Sarkisian interviewed with the Raiders for their vacant head coaching position, but pulled himself out of the running to stay at USC. Sarkisian was named to replace Lane Kiffin as USC's offensive coordinator when Kiffin took the head coaching job with the Raiders.

Washington
Following the completion of a winless 2008 season, the University of Washington introduced Sarkisian as its 23rd head football coach during a press conference in the Don James Center at Husky Stadium on December 8, 2008. Sarkisian signed a contract that paid him $1.75 million in 2009, with a salary increasing to $2.3 million by 2013. Down in Los Angeles, John Morton succeeded Sarkisian as offensive coordinator at USC.

In Sarkisian's first year as head coach in 2009, Washington scored a huge upset of Sarkisian's former team, defeating #3 USC 16–13 with a last second field goal. Washington then lost six of their next seven games, but finished the season in strong fashion, dominating rival Washington State, 30–0, to claim the Apple Cup, and scoring another upset with a rout of #19 California, 42–10. Washington finished the year with a 5–7 record, a dramatic improvement over the previous season, a winless 0–12.

With Pete Carroll's departure from USC to coach the Seattle Seahawks on January 9, 2010, Sarkisian was discussed in the media as a potential replacement, but Sarkisian stated that he had not received an offer to become head coach of the Trojans. Despite his public comments, Sarkisian was still considered a top candidate for the position by USC athletic director Mike Garrett. However, Sarkisian expressed reservations about leaving Washington after one year, and decided not to pursue the position. Ultimately, Lane Kiffin was hired for the position.

In Sarkisian's second season as head coach of Washington, the Huskies went 6–6 in 2010. The Huskies defeated USC again with a game-ending field goal, this time in Los Angeles. At mid-season, UW had alternated losses and wins and was 3–3, then were outscored 138–30 in the next three games, all losses against Arizona, Stanford, and Oregon. They fell to 3–6, but finished the year on a high note with three consecutive wins and were bowl eligible for the first time since the 2002 season. The Huskies concluded the season with a stunning 19–7 victory over #18 Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl, avenging a 56–21 blowout home loss to the Huskers in September. It was their first winning season in nine years.

With star quarterback Jake Locker departing to the NFL, many expected the Huskies to regress in the 2011 season, Sarkisian's third. The Huskies started out a surprising 6–2 and were undefeated in conference play at the halfway point of the season; at one point, they were ranked in all major polls for the first time during his short tenure. However, they then went 1–3 in their remaining conference games, with blowout defeats to Oregon, USC, and Oregon State. The Huskies subsequently lost in the Alamo Bowl to Baylor, 67–56, to finish 7–6 on the season.

In 2012, the Washington Huskies finished 7–6 yet again following a 28–26 loss to Boise State in the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas. As his previous campaigns had gone, Sarkisian's 2012 Washington team defeated most of the lower-level Pac-12 teams but were blown out by the upper-level ones. Sarkisian's consecutive seven-win seasons earned him the mocking nickname "Seven Win Steve". Sarkisian would go on to win eight games in 2013 before taking the head coaching job at USC prior to Washington's bowl game.

New contract
Sarkisian's original contract in 2009 was for five years and paid $1.75 million in guaranteed money for the first year, rising to $2.0 million in 2011 and $2.3 million in 2013. Following the 2010 season and bowl victory, he signed a new five-year contract that paid $2.25 million in guaranteed money in 2011, rising to $2.85 million in 2015.

Return to USC
On December 2, 2013, Sarkisian chose to return to USC, accepting the head coaching position. Sarkisian's goal was to get USC back to its winning ways with NCAA sanctions finally ending. Like Lane Kiffin, Sarkisian called all plays on offense and served as the de facto offensive coordinator.

Sarkisian dealt with some controversy before his first game as head coach, when defensive captain Josh Shaw told the team he suffered two high ankle sprains when he jumped from a balcony to save his drowning nephew. After numerous calls questioning the authenticity of the story, Shaw admitted he lied to the athletic department. Sarkisian suspended Shaw indefinitely.

On September 8, 2014, Sarkisian and USC athletic director Pat Haden were reprimanded by Pac-12 Conference commissioner Larry Scott for attempting "to influence the officiating, and ultimately the outcome of a contest" during the September 6 game with Stanford. Haden was fined $25,000.

2015 leave of absence and termination
On October 11, 2015, Haden announced Sarkisian would take an indefinite leave of absence. Haden contacted Sarkisian after he learned that Sarkisian had not shown up to a scheduled practice on October 11. During his conversation with Sarkisian, Haden said he became aware that Sarkisian was "not healthy" and asked Sarkisian to take an indefinite leave of absence. Offensive coordinator Clay Helton would serve as interim head coach in Sarkisian's absence. ESPN later reported that Sarkisian came to a pre-practice meeting, only to have his assistants tell him to go home when he appeared to be intoxicated. Scott Wolf, the USC beat writer for the Los Angeles Daily News, reported on Twitter that several players smelled alcohol on Sarkisian's breath.

On October 12, Haden announced that Sarkisian had been fired and named Helton as interim head coach for the remainder of the season (the "interim" tag was removed after the season). He subsequently revealed that he had tried to call Sarkisian to notify him personally, but by then Sarkisian was on his way to an out-of-state rehab facility and could not be reached.

According to ESPN, Haden had placed Sarkisian on a zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol use after Sarkisian claimed to have mixed alcohol with medication, despite the fact that he appeared simply to have drunk far too heavily before giving a drunken and profanity-laced speech at a booster club event (Sarkisian apologized after the incident before the 2015 season began). The apparent intoxication at practice would have been grounds for termination. However, multiple reports said that Sarkisian's assistants believed he was drunk during a game against Arizona State.

Hours before Sarkisian's firing, the Los Angeles Times reported that Sarkisian had been involved in numerous alcohol-related incidents while at the University of Washington. Haden admitted that he had not done a public-records check on Sarkisian prior to hiring him.

Sarkisian filed a $30 million wrongful termination lawsuit against USC, but later agreed to move it to private arbitration. He eventually lost the suit and did not appeal, stating that he would respect the result and move on.

Alabama
In September 2016, Alabama hired Sarkisian as an analyst for their football team.

Following Lane Kiffin's departure to become the head coach at Florida Atlantic, Sarkisian was promoted to the Alabama offensive coordinator position on January 2, 2017. He stepped into the role in the national championship game against Clemson. The Tide would lose narrowly to the Tigers in his first and only game of the 2016 season as offensive coordinator.

Atlanta Falcons
On February 7, 2017, Sarkisian was hired as offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, taking over for the recently departed Kyle Shanahan who left to become the head coach of the 49ers. The offense's scoring output, under his guidance, dropped from 33.8 points per game (leading the NFL in 2016) to 22.1 points per game in 2017. In 2018, the offense's scoring improved to 25.9 points per game. On December 31, 2018, he was fired as offensive coordinator.

Alabama (second stint)
In January 2019, Alabama re-hired Sarkisian as the offensive coordinator. In 2020, Sarkisian served as interim head coach for Alabama's 42–13 victory over Auburn after Nick Saban had to be quarantined due to COVID-19 protocols.

During his second stint at Alabama, Sarkisian coached quarterbacks Mac Jones and Tua Tagovailoa. He won the Broyles Award, given to the nation's top coaching assistant, for his coaching during the 2020 season. He also won the FootballScoop Offensive Coordinator of the Year award, voted on by previous winners of the award.

Texas
On January 2, 2021, Sarkisian was named the 31st head football coach at the University of Texas at Austin. His initial contract at Texas was for six years and $34.2 million.

2021 season
At the beginning of Sarkisian's first season as the head football coach at Texas, the Longhorns were ranked No.21 in the AP Poll. Sarkisian began the year by leading the Longhorns to a 38–18 victory over the No.23 ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns. In Week 2 of the 2021 season, the Longhorns were defeated 21–40 by the Arkansas Razorbacks, in the first matchup in the Arkansas–Texas football rivalry since the 2014 Texas Bowl. In the following weeks, Sarkisian led the Longhorns to a 58–0 victory over Rice, a 70–35 victory over Texas Tech, and a 32–27 victory over TCU. The Longhorns then proceeded to lose six consecutive games, which the program had not seen since the 1956 season. Though Sarkisian and the Longhorns finished the season with a disappointing 5–7 record, some bright spots included the second best offense in the Big 12 with 35.3 points per game and wide receiver Xavier Worthy receiving True Freshman All-American honors as well as being elected Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year and earning a spot on the 2021 All-Big 12 First Team.

2022 season
The Longhorns were unranked in the AP Poll to start Sarkisian's second year. After dominating the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns 52-10, Texas lost a close game to #1 Alabama in a game that saw star QB Quinn Ewers leave with injury as well as some questionable referee calls. After winning vs UTSA 41-20 in front of a record crowd at home, Sarkisian suffered an upset loss in OT to Texas Tech 34-31. After this loss, the Longhorns under Sarkisian would win six of their next eight games to finish the regular season 8-4, with the team's only losses coming to #11 Oklahoma State and #6 TCU by one score each. The highlight of the Longhorns' season would be a 49-0 domination of Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry.

After losing in the Alamo Bowl to Washington 27-20, Sarkisian's Texas Longhorns finished the 2022 season 8-5 and ranked #25 in the AP Poll, a drastic improvement over the year prior.

2023 season
Heading into the 2023 season (Texas's final year in the Big 12 before they headed to the Southeastern Conference), the Longhorns were ranked at #11 in the AP preseason poll. However, after a stunning victory over #3 Alabama in Week 2, they shot up to #4 in the polls. Succeeding thanks to an offense led by QB Quinn Ewers and a thriving defense, the Longhorns would go 6-0 before losing a nail-biter to Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry 34-30. After that loss, Sarkisian's Longhorns would win the rest of their regular season games and then proceed to win the Big 12 Championship against Oklahoma State 49-21 in convincing fashion. Making the College Football Playoff as the #3 seed, Sarkisian led the Longhorns in a rematch against the Washington Huskies in the Sugar Bowl, losing in an incredibly close 37-31 game that came down to a deflected pass to the end zone by Quinn Ewers. The Longhorns finished the season ranked #3 in the AP Poll.

2024 season
On February 22, 2024, Steve Sarkisian was given a four-year contract extension through 2030 that also increased his salary for the 2024 season to $10.3 million.

Personal life
Born in Torrance, California, Sarkisian is the youngest of seven children; he is of Armenian and Irish ancestry. Sarkisian is Catholic.

In April 2015, it was reported that Sarkisian and his first wife Stephanie, filed for divorce. Sarkisian and his ex-wife have three children, two daughters and a son. Sarkisian has since married Loreal Smith, a former collegiate track star and coach.

Talk:Ali bin Hussein, King of Hejaz

Biography assessment rating comment
The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- KGV (Talk) 08:43, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Arrigo moved this page from Ali bin Hussein of Hejaz to Ali of Hejaz, explaining with "unnecessary patronymic". I disagree that it is unnecessary. This person is best known as "Ali bin Hussein"; the "of Hejaz" is only there to disambiguate him from the many other people with that name, notably the Shiite imam. It is particularly reasonable, considering that Ali is historically very much in the shadow of his father, King Hussein. Consider the huge number of people who have lived in the region of Mecca and Medina who have been named Ali. We, as Wikipedia editors, know that, by Wikipedia convention, an article titled "Joe of XYZland" means that Joe is the king of XYZland; however, to many of our readers, this is not at all clear. I'm sure there have also been a lot of people named Ali bin Hussein who lived in Hejaz, but this can at least narrow it down a bit. - Nat Krause 02:20, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

The heading of an article cannot do everything. In some cases (this case seems to be one such), it can do quite little, and is important for pre-emptive disambiguation. I believe that any non-monarchical Ali would not be credibly called as "Ali of Hejaz" here, therefore this heading is sufficiently good. And, headings should be kept short - KISS principle. Simplicity helps. Please be reminded that the introductiry paragraph of the article itself is the place to explain imporytamt things about the name or names the person was well-known as. Arrigo 10:58, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi! Buzda 06:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Fellow Granite Stater!
I saw that you were on, and I was wondering if you'd like to join us in improving content related to New Hampshire at Wikiproject New Hampshire. Please let me know if I can help you out with anything. karmafist 23:17, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Source for claim that HL2 and source engine is based on quake?
Could you please provide a source for your claim that the Source Engine is based on Quake? If you can't, then I'm removing that claim from the Quake page. I'm pretty sure valve started from a blank slate.DoomBringer 06:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * "The Source engine is a 3D game engine developed largely internally by Valve Software" from the Source engine page. The words "developed largely internally" means that it was built by Valve, not by licensing Quake1.  I'm reverting your edit.  DoomBringer 06:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * More: "While Valve looked at licensing an engine for the sequel--such as id's Quake III engine--the team concluded that no outside technology was a good match for Valve's ambitious plans." Sorry, the claim you try to make is false.  DoomBringer 06:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If you check out Carmack's blog entry sometime in 2004 or early 05, he says he's not worried about how big HL2 would sell, as they're still paying royalties for Q1 engine use for HL2. That's one thing, also the null texture pattern, particle effects (TE_EXPLOSION, etc) and even mostly the same BSP format which are carried from HL are also found in the Quake engine. CheapAlert 22:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * You've already answered my one question (does Id still get royalties). I'll think about this. (see quake discussion page for a few of my concerns) DoomBringer 08:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Louielouie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Louielouie~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Eleven Minutes

Eleven Minutes (Onze Minutos) is a 2003 novel by Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho that recounts the experiences of a young Brazilian prostitute and her journey to self-realisation through sexual experience.

Plot introduction
Maria, a young girl from a remote village of Brazil, whose first encounters with love had left her heartbroken, goes to seek her fortune in Switzerland. She works for a time in a nightclub but soon becomes dissatisfied and after a heated discussion with her manager one night, she quits her job. She tries to become a model but is unsuccessful. Because she is running out of money, she accepts 1000 francs from an Arab man to spend the night with him. She then decides to become a prostitute and ends up in a brothel on Rue de Berne, the heart of Geneva's red-light district.

There she befriends Nyah who gives her advice on her "new profession" and after learning the tricks of the trade from Milan, the brothel owner, she enters the job with her body and mind shutting all doors for love and keeps her heart open only for her diary. Quickly she becomes quite successful and famous and her colleagues begin to envy her. Months pass and Maria grows into a professionally groomed prostitute who not only relaxes her clients' minds, but also calms their souls by talking to them about their problems.

Her world turns upside down when she meets Ralf, a young Swiss painter, who sees her "inner light". Maria falls in love with him immediately and begins to experience what "true love" is (according to the author, it is a sense of being for someone without actually possessing him/her). Maria is now split between her sexual fantasies and true love for Ralf. Eventually she decides that it is time for her to leave Geneva with her memory of Ralf, because she realizes that they are worlds apart. But before leaving, she decides to rekindle the dead sexual fire in Ralf and learns from him about the nature of Sacred Sex, sex which is mingled with true love and which involves the giving up of one's soul for the loved one.

Bloodstone Pass

H1 Bloodstone Pass is an adventure module for the first edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game. It was written by Douglas Niles and Michael Dobson and published by TSR, Inc., in 1985. While it contained some traditional D&D elements, the main portion of the module was a series of mass battles using the D&D Battlesystem.

Plot summary
Bloodstone Pass is an adventure with both a role-playing scenario and Battlesystem combat, in which the town of Bloodstone Pass hires the player characters to organize a defense against an army of evil humanoid monsters. The army also included human renegades led by a powerful assassin.

The module's action focuses on leading the armies rather than having the battle occur in the background while the players adventure to find a MacGuffin.

Publication history
Bloodstone Pass was originally the working name of what became the first edition of Battlesystem. However, it was felt that the name did not convey the feeling of the system. After the developers had settled on the name Battlesystem, they used the "Bloodstone Pass" name for the first Battlesystem game accessory.

Bloodstone Pass was written by Douglas Niles and Michael Dobson and published by TSR, Inc., in 1985 as a boxed set. The set included a 32-page scenario booklet, a 24-page unit roster, a model-building instruction booklet, 12 cardstock building sheets for constructing a fold-together cardboard village and miniature figures, and 104 cardboard counters. Cover art was by Jeff Easley.

Originally intended as a stand-alone module, it later became the first part of the four-part Bloodstone Pass Saga. The saga is known as the H series and includes Bloodstone Pass (H1), The Mines of Bloodstone (H2), The Bloodstone Wars (H3), and The Throne of Bloodstone (H4). When The Bloodstone Wars was published, the original generic setting of Bloodstone Pass was retconned into the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Module FR9, The Bloodstone Lands, describes the area of the Forgotten Realms where the Bloodstone Pass Saga occurs. In this module's version of history the events of H series modules have run their course with the pregenerated PCs.

Reception
Ken Rolston reviewed Bloodstone Pass for Dragon magazine #135 (July 1988). He called it a "real nice package" but noted that, because it was designed for use with Battlesystem, "the buildings are not even close to 25mm scale".

Rich Baker, one of the designers of the 2006 module Red Hand of Doom, compared that adventure to Bloodstone Pass, saying they provide similar challenges to players.

Dinkar Rao

Raja Sir Dinkar Rao Rajwade (20 December 1819 – 9 January 1896) was an Indian court official, born in Devrukh, Ratnagiri district of Bombay Presidency. He was the son of Raghunath Rao by his first wife. He was a Chitpavan Brahmin.

Dinkar Rao's education in his mother tongue was commenced in about his fifth year under the supervision of his father who was in the service of Maharaja Daulat Rao Scindia. He was also instructed in Sanskrit and Persian. Particular attention appears to have been bestowed on his religious education. He grew up an orthodox Hindu, pious and punctual in the performance of his religious duties. He loved Hindu music and acquired a fair knowledge of Hindu medicine.

At the age of fifteen, he entered into the service of the Gwalior State where his father had served. Rapidly promoted to the responsible charge of a division, he showed such signs of marked ability that his services were specially recognised by his appointment as the Subahdar of Tanwarghar division, in succession to his father. He displayed unusual talents in reorganizing the police and revenue departments, and in reducing chaos to order.

In 1851, Dinkar Rao became Dewan. The events which led to the British victories of Maharajpur and Panniar in 1844 had filled the state with mutinous soldiery, ruined the finances and weakened authority. With a strong hand the dewan suppressed disorder, abolished ruinous imports, executed public works, and by reduction of salaries, including his own, turned a deficit into a surplus. During the period of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 Rao never wavered in loyalty to the British; and although the state troops also mutinied in June 1858 on the approach of Tantya Tope, he adhered to the British cause, retiring with Maharaja Sindhia to the Agra fort. After the restoration of order he continued to serve as Prime Minister until December 1859.

Dinkar Rao left Gwalior in January 1859 and shifted to Allahabad, the capital of the North-Western Provinces. Lord Canning recognising his value as an administrator offered him a seat in the Supreme Council, as the newly constituted Imperial Legislative Council vide the Indian Councils Act 1861 was known. In 1862, he was nominated by Lord Canning, along with Raja Sir Deo Narayan Singh of Benaras and Maharaja of Patiala to the legislative council.

In March 1862, Dinkar Rao published his "Memorandum of observations on the Administration of India." It contains his views on forty-six subjects and it was written for the Viceroy's perusal and consideration.

In 1873, he was appointed guardian to the minor Raja of Dholpur, but soon afterwards he resigned, owing to ill health.

Service as Commissioner
In 1875, the Viceroy of India, Lord Northbrook, selected him as a Commissioner, along with the Maharaja of Gwalior and Jaipur and three British colleagues, to try the Gaekwad of Baroda on a charge of attempting to poison Colonel Robert Phayre, the British Resident.

Knighthood
In May 1866, Dinkar Rao was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India (KCSI), entitling him to be styled "Sir Dinkar Rao." At the Imperial assemblage at Delhi that year, the title of "Raja" was bestowed on him. In 1884, Lord Dufferin made the title hereditary. Lord Dufferin, who took a peculiar interest in Gwalior, was particularly solicitous that Dinkar Rao should be held in due regard by the British Government and recommended him personally to the good offices of the British officials everywhere, and to those of the Native States in which his property lay.

He died on 9 January 1896. No Indian statesmen of the 19th century gained a higher reputation, yet he only commenced the study of English at the age of forty and was never able to converse fluently in it.

His orthodoxy resented social reforms, and he kept aloof from the Indian National Congress.

Quick (newspaper)

Quick is a defunct Dallas-Fort Worth area free weekly newspaper published from 2003 to 2011. As the name implies, it was delivered in a quick-to-read format: a tabloid ranging in page count from 20 to 40. It was available free each week on Thursdays from street teams and courtesy news racks at Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) rail stations, office buildings, and other busy locations throughout the Dallas area.

Initially, Quick was a free daily paper that contained "quick hits" of the daily top news stories, weather and sports. However, after declining readership and distribution issues began to plague the paper, it switched to a once a week format that highlighted entertainment and lifestyle offerings in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex such as music, movies and local dining aimed at the 18 to 40 age demographic. It was considered a direct competitor of another local entertainment/lifestyle guide, the Dallas Observer.

Dallas Morning News officials announced on July 27, 2011, that Quick would cease publication with its August 4, 2011, issue. The publisher said it ended publication because the eight-year venture was ultimately unprofitable. Nine employees, including two part-timers, were laid off as a result.

Fair use rationale for Image:Hhdl-13-lg.gif
Image:Hhdl-13-lg.gif is being used on this article.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Thubten Gyatso declared independence from China in the summer of 1912
That is questioned. What he said in the declaration? Could someone provide the Declaration? (Is it 告民众书??) In 1912, many pronvince of Qing were declare independence from Qing(NOT China), but 13th Dailai didn't. --刻意 21:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The Gaominzhongshu that you link to was issued before the 13th Dalai Lama returned to Tibet from India. The document which is sometimes called a Declaration of Independence was issued shortly after his return. That proclamation does not actually declare that Tibet would become an independent country, but that it had been independent all along. Here is the English translation.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 01:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This is 《西藏全体僧俗大众今后取舍条例》 or simply 《水牛年文告》.--Keyi 16:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I doubt the things was not so simple, because the communist Party considered the 13th Dalai Lama as "愛國主義者"(patriotic). In 1920s, things changed after beijing goverment was replace by KMT. In 1930, 13th Dailai said “英人对吾确有诱惑之念，但吾知主权不可失” and “不亲英人，不背中央”.

Anyway, 13th Dalai Lama was a complicated figure in history. Now the article give a misleading message and NPOV.

Thanks to God, the british india was not Russia(and Tibet was not Out Momgol).--刻意 12:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Do you mean that the Communist Party considered the 13th Dalai Lama patriotic at the time, or that they described his patriotic later?

 * The article as it stands is certainly inaccurate, since the so-called declaration of independence did not occur in the summer of 1912.

 * Regarding “不亲英人”, the 13th Dalai Lama was not stupid and was certainly aware that the British were not his friends from the goodness of their hearts (he preferred an alliance with the Russian empire, but then it collapsed), although I'm not sure what that has to do with this.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 21:05, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * patriotic means as a whole, a history summary. I known he was a complicated figure and clever politician.
 * Recently, I am trying to know the beginning of Tibet independence movement. I find the chinese book talked a lot about "告民众书 was the so-called declaration", and in the summer of 1912 only mentioned an announcement in one single sentence. --Keyi 15:17, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * What I mean is, when did the CCP say it? Did CCP representatives in the 1910s, 20s, and 30s say that he was patriotic? Or did they decide after his death that he was patriotic in hindsight? To be honest, I'm not sure what he ever did that would be construed as patriotic to China.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 21:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
