John Cooper (American football)

John Harold Cooper (born July 2, 1937) is a former American football player and coach. Cooper was an assistant coach at Iowa State, Oregon State, UCLA, Kansas, and Kentucky. Then, he embarked on a head coaching career, as he served as the head coach at the University of Tulsa (1977–1984), Arizona State University (1985–1987), and Ohio State University (1988–2000), compiling a career record of 192–84–6.

Early years and playing career
Cooper was born and raised in the Knoxville suburb of Powell, Tennessee. He graduated from Powell High School in 1955, then served in the United States Army for two years. After serving for two years, he enrolled at Iowa State University, where he played football for legendary coach Clay Stapleton in the single-wing formation with the Iowa State Cyclones, including the 1959 "Dirty 30" team. As a senior in 1961, Cooper was team captain and MVP. Cooper graduated from Iowa State in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in physical education.

Coaching career
Cooper began his coaching career in 1962 as the freshmen team coach at Iowa State. He then was an assistant coach at Oregon State from 1963 to 1964 under Tommy Prothro and helped Oregon State finish first place in the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) in 1964. Oregon State also made the Rose Bowl and finished #8 in the final AP Poll. Cooper then followed Prothro to UCLA to be an assistant there from 1965 to 1966. In the 1965 season, UCLA finished first in the AAWU and #4 in the final AP Poll and won the Rose Bowl. The 1966 UCLA team finished #5 in the AP Poll.

In 1967, Cooper became defensive coordinator at Kansas under Pepper Rodgers. Cooper again was part of a conference championship team in 1968 when Kansas finished first in the Big 8. The 1968 Kansas team finished #9 in the final AP Poll and made the Orange Bowl. Cooper remained at Kansas until 1971. From 1972 to 1976, Cooper had his final assistant position at Kentucky, first under John Ray in 1972 then Fran Curci from 1973 to 1976. In Cooper's final season at Kentucky in 1976, Kentucky finished #18 in the AP Poll and won the Peach Bowl.

In 1977, he was named the head football coach at the University of Tulsa. At Tulsa, he compiled a 56–32 record with five Missouri Valley Conference titles. Cooper considers his tenure at Tulsa his "most enjoyable years as a coach". He became the head coach at Arizona State in 1985 where his teams played in three consecutive bowl games, including the 1987 Rose Bowl, during his three-year tenure. His record was 0–2–1 against arch-rival Arizona. He accepted the job as head coach at Ohio State on December 31, 1987.

Cooper's first season in Columbus was somewhat undistinguished; the Buckeyes notched their first losing season since 1966. However, he quickly turned the Buckeyes around and led them to shared Big Ten titles in 1993, 1996, and 1998. In his 13 seasons at Ohio State, Cooper compiled a 111–43–4 record; his 111 victories are second in Ohio State history behind only Woody Hayes's 205. Among his most memorable victories at Ohio State were back-to-back victories against Notre Dame (1995 and 1996), leading Ohio State to its first Rose Bowl in 13 years (the 1997 Rose Bowl—a win over Arizona State), and a 1999 Sugar Bowl victory over Texas A&M. Cooper's teams at Ohio State were loaded with a great deal of talent that would go on to play in the NFL, including: 1995 Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George, 1995 Fred Biletnikoff Award winner Terry Glenn, 1996 Outland Trophy winner Orlando Pace, 1997 Butkus Award winner Andy Katzenmoyer, 1998 Jim Thorpe Award winner Antoine Winfield, as well as Alonzo Spellman, Robert Smith, Dan Wilkinson, Joey Galloway, Rickey Dudley, Mike Vrabel, Korey Stringer, David Boston, Shawn Springs, Ahmed Plummer, Na'il Diggs, Nate Clements, and Ryan Pickett.

However, Cooper has also been remembered for his 3–8 bowl record and his 2–10–1 record against archrival Michigan. His most disappointing losses to the Wolverines came in 1993, 1995, and 1996. In each season of those seasons, Ohio State entered the Michigan game undefeated and ranked in the top five, but were upset by the Wolverines on each occasion; two of those losses cost the Buckeyes a Rose Bowl bid. In 1993 Ohio State was ranked #5 and undefeated, needing only to beat Michigan to get their first trip to Pasadena in nine years. However, they were shut out by the unranked Wolverines 28–0 in Ann Arbor. In 1995 Ohio State lost a #2 ranking, the Big Ten title, and another shot at the Rose Bowl by losing to the #18 ranked Wolverines, 31–23, in Ann Arbor. In 1996, the Buckeyes were again ranked #2 and had already secured a Rose Bowl berth when they faced #21 ranked Michigan, this time in Columbus. The Buckeyes smelled victory after shutting out the Wolverines in the first half, but Michigan rallied in the second half to upset the Buckeyes yet again, 13–9, costing them a chance at the national championship. Ohio State would go on to win the 1997 Rose Bowl against Arizona State and finish the season ranked #2. With this victory, Cooper became the first coach to win the Rose Bowl with a Pac-10 and a Big Ten team.

In 1997, top ranked Michigan entered the game undefeated and #4 Ohio State had the opportunity to spoil Michigan's perfect season; however, the Wolverines again defeated the Buckeyes, 20–14. To add insult to injury, Michigan's win was highlighted by the performance of Ohio native and 1997 Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson, who made game changing plays on offense, defense, and special teams.

In 1998, Ohio State was 8–0 and ranked #1 in the country but was upset by Michigan State, 28–24. They did go on to beat Michigan that season and won the Sugar Bowl over Texas A&M, 24–14, eventually finishing #2 in the polls.

Cooper's Buckeyes were expected to have a strong season in 1999, but slumped to 6–6, their first non-winning record since Cooper's first year and only their third since 1947. They rebounded to 8–4 a year later, but a 38–26 loss to Michigan cost Cooper his job at the end of the season. He was the first non-interim Buckeye head coach since Wes Fesler, Hayes' predecessor, to have left Ohio State without winning an outright Big Ten title.

Later life and honors
Cooper currently works for the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL as a scouting consultant and also works as a college football analyst for ESPN.

On May 1, 2008, Cooper was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame on December 30, 2012, representing both Arizona State and Ohio State football teams. On September 8, 2014, Cooper was inducted into the Iowa State University Athletics Hall of Fame in an on-field ceremony during the Iowa State-Kansas State football game.

Talk:Katee Sackhoff

Smoking
Do we have a source on Katee quitting smoking? I recall reading it somewhere, but she was smoking in the Bionic Woman pilot and that seems contradictory to that part of the article. JeffHCross 01:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I remember reading a while ago that she had quit because she didn't want (young?) fans copying her. She might not have been smoking real cigarettes in Bionic Woman. - B e X  11:15, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually it's in her IMDB trivia. - B e X  11:16, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * IIRC, IMDB is fan-submitted, much like Wikipedia is user edited. I also remember reading that she didn't want fans copying her, but given that she was doing so in Bionic Woman, I feel like a source might be helpful. JeffHCross 00:55, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Photo again
OK, a few days ago i tried to put a photo of Sackhoff, but i couldn't find the way to justify its fair use quick enough, so it's been deleted. If anyone could tell me where i can justify a rationale when uploading a photo, that would help. And is it new that the infobox actor doesn't provide a way to link to the IMDB page? Arikel (talk) 22:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, it is not possible to justify a fair-use image for the infobox. In particular, when it is captured from a DVD, television etc. What we need is a picture from some award event. TINY  MARK  00:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. I put up a picture that I took of her on June 1st, 2008 at the Wizard World convention in Philly. --Wesweaver (talk) 00:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There's also a photo under the same name at Wikimedia Commons. Kelly  hi! 01:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Nip/Tuck Role
TV Guide is reporting that Katie is going to star in the next season of Nip/Tuck: Katie Sackhoff: from Starbuck to Nip/Tuck - but since this shouldn't be included in "early career" maybe we need to reorganize the career section? Maybe "Battlestar Galactica" as one section and "Other Roles"? Thoughts? Tubesurfer (talk) 13:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I think it would be better divided between TV, film and other (to include Halo 3), not Battlestar and "Other". Mhudson3 (talk) 15:54, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Tattoo details
Are Miss Sackhoff's choice of tattoos and her reasons for them really worthy of mention in an encyclopedic article about her? Don't to come over all Brittanicist (Britannica-elitist), but c'mon folks; this is Wikipedia, not ILoveSackhoff.tk. User:Danish Ranger 14:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Terrible Picture
Is there some reason that the main picture is so unflattering? And from a comic convention? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.145.229 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 4 October 2010
 * Yes; the crux of this particular matter would be WP:NFCC. —   pd_THOR  undefined | 16:56, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I would like to say that I find the current picture (Sackhoff at the Wizard World Convention in Philadelphia in 2008) very far from "unflattering." She looks good, happy, and is clearly recognizable. IT is better than a staged photo where the person looks awkward as they did not want to be there. BatFlattery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bat Flattery (talk • contribs) 18:50, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

The Current Photo
Any chance of updating it? its terrible! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.225.168 (talk) 16:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

 * The chance of changing it from File:Katee Sackhoff.jpg is unlikely until a similarly libre-licensed image becomes available. For what it's worth, I kinda prefer the other available image at Commons:Category:Katee Sackhoff, but it's not as clear as this one, and it's facing opposite what we like for infoboxes.  —   pd_THOR  undefined | 16:56, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

clone wars
she voice the star wars: clone wars charactere Bo-Katan. anyone can add it to her filmography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.224.19.14 (talk) 18:59, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

New South Wales C set

The C sets were a class of electric multiple units that operated on Sydney's suburban rail network from 1986 up until 2021. Built by A Goninan & Co between 1986 and 1987, they were introduced into service by the State Rail Authority, before later being operated under CityRail and Sydney Trains. A total of 56 carriages were built, with the last sets being withdrawn from service in February 2021, having been gradually replaced by A & B set trains.

Design and construction
The C sets were a follow-on from the K sets. They were built as an interim measure due to delays with the Tangara program. They were also used to train and familiarise staff with the new (at the time) chopper technology. The C sets were the first Sydney suburban trains to be fitted with chopper control, which gives the train smoother acceleration. Gate turn-off thyristors (GTO) were used to control power to the traction motors, hence allowing for smoother acceleration. Following the successful implementation of chopper control, these features were installed on the Tangara and later V set carriages.

The C set carriages were also the first on the suburban network to feature fixed seating (originally covered with fabric, since replaced with vinyl). These cars also featured push-button doors requiring passengers to activate, to increase air-conditioning efficiency. These proved unpopular and the push-buttons on the doors were removed.

The C set was distinguished externally by a fibreglass moulding mounted on the front of the power carriage. It was originally in the State Rail Authority white with orange and red candy livery stripes on the lower portion. C3596 was the only power car to have its Candy-liveried front repainted in CityRail blue and yellow prior to its CityDecker refurbishment in 1998. The chopper cars were amongst the heaviest in the suburban fleet, with the power cars weighing 52 tonnes.

The order was for 56 cars:

In service
The first set entered service in July 1986, operating out of Mortdale Maintenance Depot, some were delivered to Hornsby Maintenance Depot, but by December 1988, all were operating out of Punchbowl Maintenance Depot as sets K40-K51.

The chopper cars were originally targeted as K sets and for a while when they entered service, they ran together with the then-force ventilated K sets. This however caused problems in service as force-ventilated cars were fitted with camshaft control and led to jerking while accelerating. By December 1990, they had been retargeted as C42–C54. In January 1991, these were reformed as 6-car sets numbered C1–C8. By June 1991, all had been transferred to Hornsby Maintenance Depot.

One carriage, C3596 of set C6, was painted in a livery having its fibre-glass front being painted in CityRail colours, with the L7 logo.

During the late 1990s, all were refurbished by A Goninan & Co as part of the CityDecker program. This saw the interiors refurbished with white walls and ceilings, grey floors and blue seats. Power cars received a destination indicator and had the yellow apron livery applied which includes a grey front with yellow over the bottom half.

In 2001, the C sets were once again reformed into seven 8-car sets. A 6-car C Set was re-formed in late 2006 due to car T4262 being seriously damaged by an arson attack at Villawood in October 2006, however the full 8-car set later went back in operation.

In July 2017, asbestos was found in the circuit breaker panels, which was inside the driver compartment of the C sets, with all withdrawn for inspection.

From November 2017 until they were retired from service, all C Sets operated out of Flemington Maintenance Depot.

Prior to their retirement, C sets operated on the following lines:
 * T2 Inner West and Leppington Line: Leppington or Parramatta to City Circle via Granville
 * T3 Bankstown Line: Liverpool or Lidcombe to City Circle via Bankstown
 * T8 Airport and South Line: Macarthur To City Circle via Airport or Sydenham

Retirement
The C sets were gradually phased out from September 2020 to February 2021, being replaced by B sets. The C sets ran their final revenue timetabled service on 26 February 2021 on the Airport & South Line. A farewell to the C Sets tour by the Sydney Electric Train Society took place on 6 March 2021 visiting Mount Victoria and Hawkesbury River.

Two C sets (C1 and C5) remained as standby sets for emergencies from their retirement until 30 April 2021.

Two carriages, C3581 and T4272 were sent to Fire and Rescue NSW on 6 May 2021 for training purposes.

On 12 July 2021, three of the four remaining C Sets were transferred from Flemington to Chullora for scrapping.

Preservation
In July 2021, the Sydney Electric Train Society (SETS) announced that they would be preserving four carriages for heritage. These carriages were taken from sets C5 and C9. It is intended that they will be operational for tours operated by SETS, including the Great Northern Chopper Tour, which was initially scheduled for 28 August 2021, but was postponed due to COVID-19, with no new date announced since.

Menlo College

Menlo College is a private college specializing in business and is located in Atherton, California, United States.

Campus
Menlo College is situated on 45-acre (0.18 km2) campus in Atherton, California, 25 miles southeast of San Francisco and 20 miles northwest of San Jose, California.

History
Menlo College was founded in 1927 when the Menlo School for Boys grew to include a junior college. The institution, under the leadership of Dr. Lowry Howard, changed its name to Menlo School and Junior College. The college admitted 27 students that year. Enrollment in the school and college rose to 112 the following year, with 80 of those students attending the college.

The effects of the 1929 stock market crash and subsequent depression reached Menlo in 1931, and the institution faced the possibility of having to close its doors. Deliverance came in the form of two generous acts. First, Board Chairman C. F. Michaels made a series of substantial loans to Menlo to help sustain its operations. That same year, the Town of Atherton voted to deed a strip of land to Menlo, allowing the institution to expand its campus. The property was originally the site for a proposed new road, but the town decided that the new road would not be necessary.

From the founding of the junior college through 1932, Howard and Michaels had been meeting with Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford University, to discuss the possibility of having Menlo serve as Stanford's lower division institution. The three developed a detailed plan wherein Stanford would drop its freshman and sophomore classes and Menlo would move its operations to the Stanford campus. The Stanford Board of Trustees reviewed the plans and turned down the proposal. Stanford would maintain its four-year undergraduate program. Wilbur remained interested in Menlo nonetheless, and in 1933, he appointed six members of the Stanford faculty to educational advisory roles at Menlo.

The start of World War II brought to Menlo the challenge of reduced enrollment. To balance the student body, Howard instated a four-four plan wherein grades 7 through 10 were designated to the school while grades 11 through 14 constituted the college.

As World War II was coming to an end in 1944, President Howard suffered severe heart trouble, and his physician advised that he retire from the presidency of Menlo. The Board of Trustees chose Dr. William E. Kratt, former college dean and soon-to-be Navy veteran, as Howard's successor.

The former estate of the Leon F. Douglass family, which was adjacent to Menlo, housed a rehabilitation center for World War II veterans until 1946. The Douglass family supported Menlo in acquiring the newly vacant property, and plans were made to move the school (grades 7 to 10, and later, 11 and 12) to that area.

The School of Business Administration (SBA) was established in 1949 as the college's first four-year program. This was a timely move, as Stanford had just dropped its undergraduate business courses to focus more on the Graduate School of Business. The institution again changed its name, this time to Menlo School and Menlo College.

The founding of the SBA made Menlo School and Menlo College eligible for complete tax exemption as a four-year, nonprofit educational institution. The savings in taxes were put into expanding and polishing Menlo. In 1953 the institution purchased property across the street from the campus to move the track and athletic fields to their current home.

1954 saw the development of two new dormitories for Menlo: Howard Hall and Michaels Hall, named after Dr. Lowry Howard and C. F. Michaels. In addition to student rooms, each building included four faculty apartments.

John D. Russell became the director of the college in 1955. An SBA professor and World War II veteran, Russell used his experience as a legal scholar to focus his courses on the legal aspects of business, earning him the affectionate nickname "Judge". He took deep interest in developing his students into business leaders and is considered by many to have epitomized the spirit of Menlo.

That same year, the Hewlett-Packard Company donated seven houses in Mountain View to Menlo. The houses were moved to the Douglass campus and assigned to faculty members.

In 1956 Florence Moore made a historic gift to Menlo in financing the construction of the Florence Moore Science and Engineering Building, housing math and science facilities as well as an auditorium.

Construction of a new student union, post office and dormitory was completed in 1958, and Menlo opened a new dining commons in 1962. The old dining commons was converted to the Bowman Library.

1969 brought to Menlo a new building for the School of Business Administration and the two-year school that included classrooms, faculty and staff offices, a theater and a computer center. This building, now called Brawner Hall, holds most of the business courses at Menlo. That same year, Menlo completed construction of its largest college dormitory, holding 150 students. President William E. Kratt retired in 1970, and in 1971 the dormitory was dedicated to him. William E. Kratt Hall currently serves as the primary housing facility for freshman students.

Richard F. O'Brien succeeded Kratt as President of Menlo. In the fall of 1971, Menlo became a co-educational institution and admitted its first female students.

The institution initiated its first major fund-raising campaign in 1976. The "Campaign for Menlo" set a $5 million goal to cover the costs of new athletic facilities, expand the library's collection, acquire new instructional equipment and increase the school's endowment.

James Waddell was the President of Menlo College from 1994 to 2004. Carlos López followed until 2007.

In 2007, Menlo College appointed Dr. G. Timothy Haight, former Dean of Business at California State University, Los Angeles, as its president.

In 2008, Menlo College and Menlo School finalized plans to become completely separate institutions. These plans included a land separation agreement. Under the agreement, the single parcel shared by the college and school was subdivided into two separate parcels. A third parcel, the Menlo Athletic Fields, is still jointly owned and managed by both.

Menlo College received its largest gift to date, a $21.3 million bequest from the Hope Bartnett Belloc Trust, in 2008. Belloc named Menlo as one of three beneficiaries of the total trust amount—around $60 million—in response to the college's mentorship of her son, Martin, during the 1962–63 academic year when he was a student. The other two recipients were United Cerebral Palsy North Bay in Petaluma, California and Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

In 2009, Menlo College was reaccredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. That same year, the college approved new degrees in Accounting, Finance, and Marketing. Menlo College was named a 2014 "Best in the West" college by The Princeton Review, and U.S. News & World Report named Menlo College a "Best Regional College" in its 2014 edition of "America's Best Colleges." In 2014, Menlo College earned Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation, a distinction earned by less than five percent of the world's business schools.

A complete history of Menlo College, Through the Gates: Eighty-five Years of Menlo College and its Times was published in September 2014. This 164-page hardcover book includes a narrative that places each decade of the college in the context of national events, brings those eras alive with reminiscences from over 100 alumni, and includes archival photographs documenting the ways that students, faculty, and administrators adapted to a changing society.

In 2016, Menlo College inaugurated Steven A. Weiner as its 11th President.

In 2019, the Menlo Athletics Women's Wrestling team won two national titles - the first national titles to be won at the college.

In 2021, Menlo College celebrated the 50th anniversary of the admittance of women. The college also began construction on a new residence hall, slated to be completed by the fall of 2022.

Academics
Menlo College offers bachelor's degrees.

The Princeton Review named Menlo College a "Best in the West" college in their "2022 Best Colleges: Region by Region."

Accreditation
In 2014, Menlo College earned Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation. The college is also accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission.

Athletics
The Menlo athletic teams are called the Oaks. The college is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) for most of its sports since the 2015–16 academic year; while its men's & women's wrestling teams compete in the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC). The Oaks previously competed in the California Pacific Conference (Cal Pac) from 1996–97 to 2014–15.

Huang Ta-chou

Huang Ta-chou (born 7 February 1936), also known as Thomas Huang, is a Taiwanese politician who served as mayor of Taipei between 1990 and 1994. He chaired the Chinese Taipei Olympic committee from 1998 to 2006.

Early life
Huang was born in Shanhua, Tainan in Taiwan, Empire of Japan in 1936. He graduated from National Taiwan University, where Lee Teng-hui was once his instructor. He received his PhD in agriculture from Cornell University in the United States in 1971. After his return to Taiwan, Huang taught at National Taiwan University.

Political career
Huang was admired by Lee Teng-hui, who was helpful throughout Huang's political career. In 1979, Lee then Mayor of Taipei, appointed Huang as the mayoral adviser and the Secretary-General of the Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission, Executive Yuan. Two years later, when Lee became the chief executive of Taiwan Province, Huang followed Lee to the Taiwan Provincial Government and was appointed the Deputy Secretary-General. After returning to National Taiwan University in 1984 as a professor, he was appointed the Secretary-General of Taipei City Government in 1987. He became the acting Mayor of Taipei in May 1990, replacing Wu Poh-hsiung. In October, he was appointed Mayor of Taipei by President Lee Teng-hui. During the final year of Huang's term, under the pressure of democratization, the office of mayor became directly elected. Huang is the last Mayor of Taipei to have served via presidential appointment.

In the 1994 Taipei mayoral election, Huang received a late nomination from the Kuomintang. Though he secured the party's endorsement and support from Lee, Huang did not win the election. The loss could be partly ascribed to the split between the Kuomintang and Chinese New Party within the Pan-Blue Coalition. Although the entire Pan-Blue Coalition gained more votes, Huang only received 25.89% of the voter turnout, allowing Democratic Progressive Party candidate Chen Shui-bian to be elected in a traditional pro-Chinese unification city and Mainlander stronghold.

After he lost the mayoral election, Huang was appointed the Minister of the Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission in June 1996, and a Minister without Portfolio in 1997.

He was appointed National Policy Advisor by President Ma Ying-jeou in 2009.

Sports
Apart from politics, Huang also contributed a lot in sports. He was elected the President of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee in 1997, followed by becoming the commissioner of Chinese Professional Baseball League upon invitation in 1998.

Academics
After his session in the Olympic Committee in 2005, he returned to his academic research in agricultural science. He invented a new method of nurturing strawberry. He is currently a professor of Toko University in Taiwan.

Talk:The Name Game

Laura Branigan's Version
Makes a huge error. Instead of saying Fred drop the "F" she says Hugh drop the "H" go "ooooo." This doesn't work because you use the substitute letters B, F, and M you never use H so you'd never drop it. So the first two letters can only be the same with B, F and M. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.142.45.254 (talk) 05:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Banana
While I'm sure the source is correct I have never heard a version where it is not said "BO-na-na" not Ba-NA-NA" Thus they are not pronouncing banana correctly

Sentence on children getting others to swear
I took the following sentence out of the article. It may be true, but even if it is, it's clearly original research that is not on either of the two external links. 69.177.176.154 23:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

When children discover that names like Chuck or Mitch will result in gratuitous swearing in the course of the song, they invariably encourage their unsuspecting friends to use such names when they sing it.

 * When children discover that there's a Wiki page which purports to list all the profanity that can potentially be created by the game, they're invariably encouraged to rack their brains to add all manner of salty though I daresay not outright profane language to the article. As neither the original song nor any of the notable recordings mentioned contain these words, why is it in the article?  While I can sympathize that most parents and teachers don't want their kids chanting mantras of phallus and fart, for example, are they actually profane words?  As you can see by examining the edit history, other editors have removed such potentially colorful names time and again, only to have them re-added by either said naughty kids or embarrassed guardians.  Is the service provided to the latter worth having this sentence here as a magnet to the former and an endless cycle of adds and deletes?  We do have better things to do, no? Abrazame (talk) 19:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Why are Alice and Dallas listed in the article, because they result in "phallus" or am I missing another word? "Phallus" is neither crude nor profane, it is a scientific term.  68.81.180.171 (talk) 00:00, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but assuming the kids had ever heard that word, it would get them to giggling, hence "mission accomplished". Presumably, "Enos" would suffer a similar fate. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:09, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Regardless, the wording of the article says "profanity or rude language" and the word phallus is neither. And more importantly as you imply, there are likely few kids that have heard of the word phallus.  Penis is a much more well known word, hence Enos would be a more worthwhile inclusion in the list (but still, penis is neither rude nor profane.) 68.81.180.171 (talk) 11:54, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Depends on the situation. It's technically medical, though not the way Beavis and Butt-Head used it. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

I added the name "Helen" to the list of names which will result in profanity, because it results in "felon," which has a negative connotation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdp2004  (talk • contribs)

 * A "negative connotation" is neither swearing or profanity. In addition, there is no requirement that the list be comprehensive.  -- LarryMac  | Talk  19:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * In fact, a lot of it (if not most of it) is original research. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:24, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I, for one, am sick and tired of the idea that a self-evident truth counts as "original research." Kostaki mou (talk) 20:48, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

(X−1) as the name without the first consonant sound
Should this be "as the name without the first consonant sound and its preceding vowels?" or "as the name without any beginning consonant sound" - I mean, if you have Adam, does he become Afam, Abam etc. (implied by the current wording), Fam and Bam (the former disambiguation), or Fadam and Badam (the latter)? If there's no general consensus on this, it should be mentioned instead of just ignoring the case of names beginning with vowels. -VJ 19:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, considering that the song itself uses an example that starts with a vowel (Ono, or however it's spelled), I'd say the third one. Sensei Le Roof (talk) 16:38, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Munchkin
Ah, now I know where the space version of the card game "Munchkin" gets "bobaser" and "bananafanafofaser". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.181.251.66 (talk) 04:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

Scentless Apprentice
The main riff to this Nirvana song is very similiar to the melody to the Name Game. Also, the article for Scentless Apprentice says that it was written as "chuck bo buck" on early set-lists. Chuck is one of the names that will result in profanity from the Name Game. If anyone has a source for this then it should be in the In Popular Culture section of this article.  Connör ( talk ) 00:28, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

US States name game is a terrible example
Due to the limited number of states, this game would be over almost as quickly as it started. Why? Consider: Maybe Nations of the World would be a better example. There's more of them for one thing, though still quite a few ending or starting in 'A' (and again a large number of which both start and end in 'A', so the loop still exists, but it's larger and easier to get out of). Also, most letters of the alphabet are represented at the beginning or end of at least one country, so you'd be less likely to get stuck, and there aren't so many of them which could never appear. (A few exist - can't think of any countries ending in 'J', 'V' or 'Z' - sorry Jordan, Vietnam, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe, probably more but I'd have to do a more thorough search.) Anyhow, maybe I'm crazy for noticing stuff like this, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Lurlock (talk) 18:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Over 40% (21 out of 50) of states end in the letter 'A'. Of the four states that start in 'A', three (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona) also end in 'A', and the fourth, Arkansas, would lead you to either South Carolina or South Dakota, both of which end in 'A', and thus you'd be stuck in an endless loop of 6 states from which you cannot escape.  This loop is almost completely unavoidable.  The example given in the article is already stuck in this loop.
 * Almost as many (18 states) start with a letter that no other state ends in. So the only way these states would ever come up in gameplay is if you started with them.  Of these states, we also have the only state ending in a 'T' (Connecticut) and the only state ending in an 'H' (Utah).  Thus, you can add Hawaii, Tennessee, and Texas to the list of states that will almost never come up.
 * The only way you won't end up stuck in the endless 'A'-loop is if you somehow land on one of the five states (Delaware, New Hampshire, Tennessee (unlikely as seen above), Kentucky, and New Jersey) that end in a letter no other state starts with, at which point the game would be over.
 * There are numerous other pitfalls; consider Ohio. You could either loop endlessly on Ohio, or go to Oklahoma, thus falling into the 'A'-loop, or you could go to Oregon.  From there you could go to Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, and North Dakota, all falling again into the 'A'-loop.  Or you could hit New Hampshire or New Jersey, both game enders, or New Mexico, which just takes you back where you started, or finally New York.  New York then leads to Kentucky (ending the game) or Kansas (falling via South Carolina or South Dakota back into the 'A'-loop yet again.)

Killing from Qur’anic Piety: Tamerlane’s Living Legacy October 1st, 2005

Andrew G. Bostom

Osama bin Laden was far from the first jihadist to kill infidels as an expression of religious piety. This years marks the 600th anniversary of the death of Tamerlane (Timur Lang; “Timur the Lame”, d. 1405), or Amir Timur (“Timur” signifies “Iron” in Turkish). Osama lacks both Tamerlane's sophisticated (for his time) military forces and his brilliance as a strategist. But both are or were pious Muslims who paid homage to religious leaders, and both had the goal of making jihad a global force. Santayana was correct when he told us that those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Tamerlane was born at Kash (Shahr-i-Sebz, the “Green City”) in Transoxiana (some 50 miles south of Samarkand, in modern Uzbekistan), on April 8 (or 11), 1336 C.E. Amir Turghay, his father, was chief of the Gurgan or Chagtai branch of the Barlas Turks. By age 34 (1369/70), Timur had killed his major rival (Mir Husain), becoming the pre-eminent ruler of Transoxiana. He spent the next six to seven years consolidating his power in Transoxiana before launching the aggressive conquests of Persia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and then attacking Hindustan (India) under the tottering Delhi Sultanate. [1]

Grousset [2] contrasts Jenghiz Khan’s “straightforward planning” and “clean sweeps” with the “higgledy-piggledy” order of Timur’s expeditions, and the often incomplete nature of the latter’s conquests:

Tamerlane’s [Timur’s] conquering activities were carried on from the Volga to Damascus, from Smyrna to the Ganges and the Yulduz, and his expeditions into these regions followed no geographical order. He sped from Tashkent to Shiraz, from Tabriz to Khodzhent, as enemy aggression dictated; a campaign in Russia occurred between two in Persia, an expedition into Central Asia between two raids into the Caucasus…[Timur] at the end of every successful campaign left the country without making any dispositions for its control except Khwarizm and Persia, and even there not until the very end. It is true that he slaughtered all his enemies as thoroughly and conscientiously as the great Mongol, and the pyramids of human heads left behind him as a warning example tell their own tale. Yet the survivors forgot the lesson given them and soon resumed secret or overt attempts at rebellion, so that it was all to do again. It appears too, that these blood soaked pyramids diverted [Timur] from the essential objective. Baghdad, Brussa (Bursa), Sarai, Kara Shahr, and Delhi were all sacked by him, but he did not overcome the Ottoman Empire, the Golden Horde, the khanate of Mogholistan, or the Indian Sultanate; and even the Jelairs of Iraq 'Arabi rose up again as soon as he had passed. Thus he had to conquer Khwarizm three times, the Ili six or seven times (without ever managing to hold it for longer than the duration of the campaign), eastern Persia twice, western Persia at least three times, in addition to waging two campaigns in Russia…[Timur’s] campaigns “always had to be fought again”, and fight them again he did.

Timur’s campaigns are infamous for their extensive massacres and emblematic “pyramids of heads”. Brown [3] cites “only a few” prominent examples:

As specimens of those acts mention may be made of his massacre of the people of Sistan 1383-4, when he caused some two thousand prisoners to be built up into a wall; his cold- blooded slaughter of a hundred thousand captive Indians near Dihli [Delhi] (December, 1398); his burying alive of four thousand Armenians in 1400-1, and the twenty towers of skulls erected by him at Aleppo and Damascus in the same year; and his massacre of 70,000 of the inhabitants of Isfahan in (November, 1387)…

Timur was a pious Muslim, who may well have belonged to the Naqshbandi Sufi order. [4; also see my earlier essay, “Sufi Jihad”, for a discussion of Sufism and jihad.] Grousset [5] emphasizes the important Islamic motivation for Timur’s jihad campaigns:

It is the Qur’an to which he continually appeals, the imams and [Sufi] dervishes who prophesy his success. [emphasis added] His wars were to influence the character of the jihad, the Holy War, even when- as was almost always the case- he was fighting Muslims. He had only to accuse these Muslims of lukewarmness, whether the Jagataites of the Ili and Uiguria, whose conversion was so recent, or the Sultans of Delhi who…refrained from massacring their millions of Hindu subjects.

The Turki chronicle Malfuzat-i-Timuri, a putative [6] autobiographical memoir of Timur, translated into Persian by Abu Talib Husaini, illustrates these driving sentiments, complete with a Qur’anic quotation : [7]

About this time there arose in my heart the desire to lead an expedition against the infidels, and to become a ghazi; for it had reached my ears that the slayer of infidels is a ghazi, and if he is slain he becomes a martyr. It was on this account that I formed this resolution, but I was undetermined in my mind whether I should direct my expedition against the infidels of China or against the infidels and polytheists of India. In this matter I sought an omen from the Qur’an, and the verse I opened upon [Q66:9] was this, “O Prophet, make war upon infidels and unbelievers, and treat them with severity.” My great officers told me that the inhabitants of Hindustan were infidels and unbelievers. In obedience to the order of Almighty Allah I ordered an expedition against them.

Timur’s jihad campaigns against non-Muslims - whether Christians in Asia Minor and Georgia, or Hindus in India - seemed to intensify in brutality. Brown [8] highlights one particular episode which supports this contention, wherein Timur clearly distinguished between his vanquished Muslim and non-Muslim foes. '''After rampaging through (Christian) Georgia, where he “devastated the country, destroyed the churches, and slew great numbers of inhabitants”, in the winter of 1399-1400, Timur, in August 1400,

…began his march into Asia Minor by way of Avnik, Erzeroum, Erzinjan, and Sivas. The latter place offered a stubborn resistance, and when it finally capitulated Timur caused all the Armenian and Christian soldiers to be buried alive; but the Muhammadans he spared.'''

The unparalleled devastation Timur wrought upon predominantly Hindu India further bolsters the notion that Timur viewed his non-Muslim prey with particular animosity. Moreover, there are specific examples of selective brutality directed against Hindus, cited in the Malfuzat-i-Timuri, from which Muslims are deliberately spared:

'''My great object in invading Hindustan had been to wage a religious war against the infidel Hindus, and it now appeared to me that it was necessary for me to put down these Jats. On the 9th of the month I dispatched the baggage from Tohana, and on the same day I marched into the jungles and wilds, and slew 2,000 demon-like Jats'''. I made their wives and children captives, and plundered their cattle and property… On the same day a party of saiyids, who dwelt in the vicinity, came with courtesy and humility to wait upon me and were very graciously received. In my reverence for the race of the prophet, I treated their chiefs with great honour…On the 29th I again marched and reached the river Jumna. On the other side of the river I [viewed] a fort, and upon making inquiry about it, I was informed that it consisted of a town and fort, called Loni… I determined to take that fort at once…  Many of the Rajputs placed their wives and children in their houses and burned them, then they rushed to the battle and were killed.  Other men of the garrison fought and were slain, and a great many were taken prisoners. Next day I gave orders that the Musalman prisoners should be separated and saved, but that the infidels should all be despatched to hell with the proselyting sword. I also ordered that the houses of the saiyids, shaikhs and learned Musulmans should be preserved but that all the other houses should be plundered and the fort destroyed. It was done as I directed and a great booty was obtained…[9]

On the 16th of the month some incidents occurred which led to the sack of the city of Delhi, and to the slaughter of many of the infidel inhabitants…On that day, Thursday, and all the night of Friday, nearly 15,000 Turks were engaged in slaying, plundering, and destroying… The following day, Saturday, the 17th, all passed in the same way, and the spoil was so great that each man secured from fifty to a hundred prisoners - men, women, and children. There was no man who took less than twenty. The other booty was immense in rubies, diamonds, pearls and other gems; jewels of gold and silver, ashrafis, tankas of gold and silver of the celebrated ‘Alai coinage; vessels of gold and silver; and brocades and silks of great value. Gold and silver ornaments of the Hindu women were obtained in such quantities as to exceed all account. Excepting the quarter of the saiyids, the ‘ulama and the other Musulmans, the whole city was sacked. [10]

Timur left Samarkand with a large, powerful expeditionary force destined for India in April, 1398. By October he had besieged Talamba, 75 miles northeast of Multan, subsequently plundering the town and massacring its inhabitants. He reached the vicinity of Delhi during the first week of December having forged a path of destruction- pillaging, razing, and massacring- en route through Pak Patan, Dipalpur, Bhatnar, Sirsa, and Kaithal. Prior to fighting and defeating an army under Sultan Nasir-ud-din Mahmud Tughluq on December 17, 1398, Timur had his forces butcher in cold blood 100,000 Hindu prisoners accumulated while advancing toward Delhi. [11] Srivastava describes what transpired after Timur's forces occupied Delhi on December 18, 1398: [12]

The citizens of the capital, headed by the ulema, waited on the conqueror and begged quarter. Timur agreed to spare the citizens; but, owing to the oppressive conduct of the soldiers of the invading force, the people of the city were obliged to offer resistance. Timur now ordered a general plunder and massacre which lasted for several days. '''Thousands of the citizens of Delhi were murdered and thousands were made prisoners. A historian writes: “High towers were built with the head of the Hindus, and their bodies became the food of ravenous beasts and birds…..such of the inhabitants who escaped alive were made prisoners.”'''

Timur acquired immense booty, as well as Delhi's best (surviving) artisans, who were conscripted and sent to Samarkand to construct for him the famous Friday mosque. Leaving Delhi on January 1, 1399 for their return march to Samarkand, Timur's forces stormed Meerut on January 19th, before encountering and defeating two Hindu armies near Hardwar. [13] The Malfuza-i-Timuri [14] indicates that at Hardwar, Timur's army

…displayed great courage and daring; they made their swords their banners, and exerted themselves in slaying the foe (during a bathing festival on the bank of the Ganges). They slaughtered many of the infidels, and pursued those who fled to the mountains. So many of them were killed that their blood ran down the mountains and plain, and thus (nearly) all were sent to hell. The few who escaped, wounded, weary, and half dead, sought refuge in the defiles of the hills. Their property and goods, which exceeded all computation, and their countless cows and buffaloes, fell as spoil into the hands of my victorious soldiers.

Timur then traversed the Sivalik Hills to Kanra, which was pillaged and sacked, along with Jammu "…everywhere the inhabitants being slaughtered like cattle." [15]

Srivastava summarizes India’s devastated condition following Timur’s departure: [16]

Timur left [India] prostrate and bleeding. There was utter confusion and misery throughout northern India. [India’s] northwestern provinces, including northern tracts of Rajasthan and Delhi, were so thoroughly ravaged, plundered and even burnt that it took these parts many years, indeed, to recover their prosperity. Lakhs [hundreds of thousands] of men, and in some cases, many women and children, too, were butchered in cold blood. The rabi crops [grown in October-November, harvested around March, including barley, mustard, and wheat] standing in the field were completely destroyed for many miles on both sides of the invader’s long and double route from the Indus to Delhi and back. Stores of grain were looted or destroyed. Trade, commerce and other signs of material prosperity disappeared. The city of Delhi was depopulated and ruined. It was without a master or a caretaker. There was scarcity and virulent famine in the capital and its suburbs. This was followed by a pestilence caused by the pollution of the air and water by thousands of uncared-for dead bodies. In the words of the historian Badaoni, “those of the inhabitants who were left died (of famines and pestilence), while for two months not a bird moved wing in Delhi.”

The 13th century chronicler, Bar Hebraeus (d. 1286), provided this contemporary assessment of how the adoption of Islam radically altered Mongol attitudes toward their Christian subjects:

And having seen very much modesty and other habits of this kind among Christian people, certainly the Mongols loved them greatly at the beginning of their kingdom, a time ago somewhat short. But their love hath turned to such intense hatred that they cannot even see them with their eyes approvingly, because they have all alike become Muslims, myriads of people and peoples. [18]

Bar Hebraeus’ observations should be borne in mind when evaluating Grousset’s uncompromising overall assessment of Timur’s deeds and motivations. After recounting Timur’s 1403 C.E. ravages in Georgia, slaughtering the inhabitants, and destroying all the Christian churches of Tiflis, Grousset states : [19]

It has been noted that the Jenghiz-Khanite Mongol invasion of the thirteenth century was less cruel, for the Mongols were mere barbarians who killed simply because for centuries this had been the instinctive behavior of nomad herdsmen toward sedentary farmers. To this ferocity Tamerlane [Timur] added a taste for religious murder. He killed from Qur’anic piety. {Note: Curiously, the 1970 English translation omits the word “coranique” in translating “Il tuait par piete coranique” (p. 513 of the original L’Empire Des Steppes), so that the phrase becomes, “He killed from piety” as opposed to Grousset’s original, “He killed from Qur’anic piety”}. He represents a synthesis, probably unprecedented in history, of Mongol barbarity and Muslim fanaticism, and symbolizes that advanced form of primitive slaughter which is murder committed for the sake of an abstract ideology, as a duty and a sacred mission.

Tamerlane’s barbarous legacy is still with us, 600-years later, in the heinous acts of jihad terrorism being committed by contemporary jihadists. Bin Laden, Zarqawi, the Sufi Basayev, and the Shi’ite Mugniyya—inspired by Islamic teachings conveyed through prominent contemporary Muslim religious leaders—have continued the practice of mass killing from “Qur’anic piety”.

Maybe this article will make all the Anti-Rajput individuals jump for joy as they gloat over the conquests and atrocities committed against our people, does it make you happy Raja?

No, but if you weren't such a blind busy body, you'd read from the above that although the leaders alleged their following to Islam, they were very poor examples of Muslims. The Massacres in Gujrat recently and the Babri Masjid episode showed the 'tolerance' of the 'Hindus' and indeed the very 'Hindu women' who stood and watched another woman/women being raped by their hoardes, but we dont blame Hinduism, but it's poor examples dont do much for propogating it's faith now do they?

No it doesn't make me happy, but it makes me sad that other Rajputs who state their love and dedication in protecting Hinduism claim superiority to Brahmins and Priests who ARE AUTHORITIES on Jati and Hinduism. You have got to proposterously insane to allege you simpletons have anywhere near the knowledge (or better as you claim) than a Pundit of Hinduism. In fact Pundits, Brahmins WERE deemed superior even in the times of the Mahabharat, so who are you fooling today? Insecurity over your social status usually creates scenarios like yours. Ultimately you are Anti Islamic as proven above so I rest that case.

Romila questions and disproves your assertions and wild claims, hence she is hates. Easily understood given the tone here. I again rest my case. Corrupt govt that screwed Rajputs over? The Rajasthani 'Pensioners' who you call Rajputs will never accept democracy in any form so again that point is easily understood. Again case rested.

Khkhan, Punjab of Pakistan has Lakhs of Rajputs of many clans, mainly dominant tribes of Ghakkar, Bhatti, Janjua and Chauhans.

Guys, instead of crying that 'Myuncle is this' my house is 'that' what have you, today achieved? What have you conquered, secured and glory obtained? Fcat is, you are resting on the laurels of your ancestors and bashing a democratic Govt that took away your 'pensions'. Get a reality check and grow up. Do something your self then talk. Until then dont satisfy your insecurity by bashing our faith and try to stand on a moral high ground because you obviously dont have one. Forget Muslims, you dont even acknowledge your religious priests? What a mess.

We are descendants of Royal blood, always were, and still are. Regardless of what you ex pensioners say...

I wanted to add an external link to a derm site with some excellent images of BCC. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Just wanted to run this by the discussion group first. Burrills99 14:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

This edit
The edit linked in this section heading is non-neutral, and reversion was appropriate pending discussion (and determination of consensus) here. I would favor better citation of the data in the article and claims in general. --Scray (talk) 01:38, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The NCCN guideline (http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/PDF/nmsc.pdf) summarizes the discussion here well.  Page 6 define peripheral margin control pathology methods, and page 7 issue the guideline for low risk and high risk basal cell cancer.  Most other clinical guidelines quoted follow similar recommendation, with slight variation on the size of the tumor considered (i.e. greater than 6 mm vs. greater than 2 cm).  Leaving the discussion of peripheral control method from this discussion simply because Mohs surgery is one of the method is not acceptable.  --Northerncedar (talk) 15:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Dr. Cooper's argument that frozen section has no use in treatment due to "inability to distinguish between melanoma and basal cell cancer", as posted on talk page to an admin has no relevance here. Once the tumor is diagnosed as either melanoma or basal cell cancer - frozen section is simply used to determine margin, and not for definitive diagnosis.--Northerncedar (talk) 15:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Dr. Cooper's assertion that dermatoscopy is worthless for deep margin is correct. As a clinical tool, it only aids the surgeon in determining the accurate clinical margin, to which he will add the correct surgical margin.  Not using a tool is simply like saying you don't need to wear glasses if you are doing surgery.--Northerncedar (talk) 15:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Dr. Cooper's lack of insight into pathology and histology sectioning is reflected in his argument that ALL sections are examined by a pathologist, therefore all margins are examined. This is the basis for his lack of understanding of the content of his deletion.  We REALLY need the insight of a pathologist or dermatopathologist here - as I can not walk Dr. Cooper through our pathology lab so he can see how wax embedded sections are processed and read.  --Northerncedar (talk) 15:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * In supporting his last edit here, Dr. Cooper stated that "frozen section is rarely used in the excision of basal cell cancer". This is simply false from both the stand point that Mohs frozen section is used routinely in the US, and frozen section using other methods of margin control are being done routinely by plastic surgeons in association with a pathologist at surgical centers throughout the world (http://www.ima.org.il/imaj/ar08may-4.pdf).  A conscientious plastic surgeon will either have Mohs surgery done first prior to his reconstruction, or to do it in a surgical center where frozen section is available for margin determination on facial cases, or recurrent cases.--Northerncedar (talk) 23:44, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * When making a decision on this case, one should relook at Dr.Cooper's previous deletions and edits (and compare it to the version immediately before it), to see his style of confrontation and refusal to engage in discussion on the talk pages (since April 2008).--Northerncedar (talk) 15:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The images here are from the referenced page of peripheral margin control method mentioned by the NCCN which includes Mohs surgery.--Northerncedar These methods are called ccpdma - complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment by the NCCN. The diagrams show several CCPDMA methods, one of which is Mohs sectioning.  Bread loafing, and modified bread loafing are also illustrated.  Most CCPDMA are done with frozen section, as the surgical margins are narrower and more likely to result in positive margins.  "Slow MOHs" is a misused term by some surgeons applying standard breadloafing with fixed tissue methods to make it sounds like they are using a CCPDMA technique.  While some real Mohs surgeon use fixed histology and delayed reading for melanomas - many such "slow mohs" are not true CCPDMA methods(talk) 20:06, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed merge
Hello to all! I am proposing a merge from the following articles into this article:
 * Nodular basal-cell carcinoma
 * Cystic basal-cell carcinoma
 * Cicatricial basal-cell carcinoma
 * Infiltrative basal-cell carcinoma
 * Micronodular basal-cell carcinoma
 * Superficial basal-cell carcinoma
 * Pigmented basal-cell carcinoma
 * Rodent ulcer (Jacobi ulcer)
 * Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus
 * Polypoid basal-cell carcinoma
 * Pore-like basal-cell carcinoma
 * Aberrant basal-cell carcinoma

This is for the following reasons:
 * These articles are very short in length (1-2 sentences) and have not been edited significantly in 3-4 years.
 * This knowledge shouldn't be obscured from readers of this article by virtue of being isolated in an obscure article of 1-2 lines.
 * These topics may receive more attention by being mentioned in the main article.
 * The articles, if needs be, could be re-expanded at a later date.

Trichoblastic carcinoma
The pathophysiology section mentions "trichoblastic carcinoma" as synonymous to basal-cell carcinoma. A quick google search however shows that the term "trichoblastic carcinoma" is used for a rare malignant transformation of trichoblastoma. "Trichoblastic carcinoma is underdiagnosed as it is a rather recent entity which is still not recognized as such by all pathologists. The differential diagnosis with basal cell carcinoma is often difficult to make and the optimal treatment has not yet been established." I have edited this in the article. source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22678003 http://www.dermnetnz.org/lesions/trichoblastic-carcinoma.html  Perencake (talk) 09:57, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Support gosh these dash-related moves are very frustrating. In my experience "Basal cell carcinoma" without the dash is much more common and I feel we should just be using the common name most readers are familiar with.

Mohs surgery
Per the ref "Although several treatment modalities exist (Table 1), Mohs micrographic surgery allows complete histologic margin evaluation to ensure full removal of cancerous tissue while limiting the resection of uninvolved tissue. Mohs surgery is the treatment choice of any BCC with high-risk characteristics as defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (see Box 2)."

Trichoblastic carcinoma
Trichoblastic carcinoma redirects here. It is currently mentioned only under #Physiopathology here. Per the sourcing, it also (presumably[?]) needs to be listed under #Differential diagnoses. 86.186.94.168 (talk) 19:23, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Jacob's ulcer
This appears in a table of subtypes of BCC, and until my recent edit Rodent ulcer was shown in that same table entry as a synonym. I've found good enough sources to believe that Rodent ulcer is a synonym for BCC in general, and have edited accordingly.

But what about Jacob's? The two sources are print medical books to which I don't have access. Googling suggests it's either an older synonym for BCC, or is specifically a cancer around the eye. Could someone with medical sources and expertise please have a look?

I'm not a regular medical editor, just looked into BCC when a family member got the diagnosis, came across Rodent ulcer as a synonym and was surprised to see it not in lead but as a subtype, then started to look at Jacob's. A classic Wiki-editing rabbit-hole to fall into! Pam D  11:40, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero

Best reviewed Batman movie
I think the reception section is extremely deceptive. Yes, the movie has 90% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but that represents a total of 9 positive votes (none of which came from RT Top Critics). In reality, the film actually received a rather poor reception compared to its predecessor Mask of the Phantasm. The only reason this film received a higher percentage of positive reviews is because it only had a total of 10 as opposed to Phantasm which had two dozen, several of which were from Top Critics.

It's so dubious because the theatrical Phantasm's reception received shining reviews from such prestigious sources as the Washington Post and Siskel & Ebert, where this film had such poor reception that the WB delayed its release by a year, and then just put it out on video. And no prestigious reviewer saw fit to even review this film. HpK1029 (talk) 16:10, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Tears of Joy
I know this is a rather pointless thing to mention, but if the writer of this article's plot summary did this on purpose, I'd like to congratulate them: The ending of the summary says that the discovery of Nora's health begins "driving [Fries] to tears of joy." If anyone else here payed attention to the original Animated Series, then you might notice the callback to the first Freeze episode, "Heart of Ice": when Batman points out the tragic nature of Freeze's origin story in that episode, Freeze responds, "It would drive me to tears, if I still had tears to shed." Amazing. If the reference to this quote in this article was unintentional, then it's a brilliant coincidence. --Raddaluigi (talk) 03:46, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Bruce Timm wrong about when Nora Fries was revealed alive?
I read the interview where Bruce Timm said Nora was brought back in SubZero without him being informed, but wasn't Nora was first revealed to be alive in 1994 in the BTAS episode "Deep Freeze"? That episode aired three years before SubZero was completed-- and Timm himself is credited as having coming up with the story, along with Paul Dini. The article says that Timm viewed her as lifeless within the cryo-chamber, but doesn't Grant Walker agree to restore Nora in the episode? I'm a bit confused, honestly. Could Timm be misremembering? Or was the screenplay for SubZero written before "Deep Freeze," and the episode was conceived by Timm and Dini as a way to link it to the film?Gokitalo (talk) 00:24, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Strip programming

Strip programming or stripping is a technique used for scheduling television and radio programming to ensure consistency and coherency. Television or radio programs of a particular style (such as a television series) are given a regular daily time slot during the week, so that it appears as a strip straight across the weekly schedule. For example, radio and television broadcasters may program a news program at rush hours every day, or at least every weekday.

Strip programming is used to deliver consistent content to targeted audiences. Broadcasters know or predict the times at which certain demographics will be listening to or watching their programs and play them at that time. Most television dayparts outside of prime time use strip programming five days a week (with some selected programs also being stripped on one or both days of the weekend), with the same programs being broadcast every day at the same time to target specific demographics. Strip programming is sometimes criticized as making programming too predictable, and reducing diversity and uniqueness.

Overview
Strip scheduling often applies to any program that airs on multiple consecutive days during the calendar week (most commonly Monday through Friday), whether carried through a television network (such as with a talk show, news program, soap opera, or telenovela) or in syndication. It is commonly restricted to describing the airing of television programs that were originally broadcast on a weekly basis during their original run: The West Wing could be stripped but not Jeopardy!, as Jeopardy! was originally intended to be run daily. It can also refer to shows in prime time that run daily, such as with the short-lived The Jay Leno Show in 2009 and 2010.

For much of the 1960s and into the early 1990s, stripping for syndication was one of, if not the primary profit component of the studio production model in American television. A show became far more profitable if it succeeded in getting three full U.S. seasons (about 75 episodes) or more, as then it was possible to strip it for fifteen weeks (15×5=75) before needing to repeat episodes. Once a series attained five seasons (which would push the show over the 100 episodes threshold), it would be a full six months before it would repeat. For Star Trek, in particular, this was relevant. Only due to an unprecedented letter-writing campaign was the show renewed for its third season, and it did not begin to attain wider popularity until appearing in syndication for a number of years. If it had failed to be renewed for a third season, it would not have been syndicated, and its subsequent popularity and influence would likely not have occurred. Many other shows with lukewarm response in their initial runs became widely appreciated cult favorites as a result of syndication, or helped keep cultural memes associated with them far more widely known than if the shows had only been viewable during their initial time frame.

Michael Grade was responsible for introducing stripped and stranded schedules to the BBC's television service in the United Kingdom in his role as controller of BBC1: from February 18, 1985, onward, the weekday evening schedule has consisted almost entirely of half-hour or hour-long programs starting on the hour, or half-hour (the BBC channels never carried spot advertising). For example, Grade's new schedule provided at 19:00, the talk show Wogan thrice weekly and two episodes of EastEnders and fixed the national news at 18:00 and 21:00, and regional news at 18:30. Before this date, programs might start at almost any time and programs could have different times on consecutive weeks or even days, for example:

Compare with a 2007 schedule for the same channel:

Stripping has also become an even more common practice on many British channels since the introduction of multi-channel cable and satellite television in the 1990s.

In many other countries, even new episodes of various series are aired every weekday. For example, if such a station gets the most recent season of a television series originating from the United States, the episodes will air in this way for two or three weeks, after which they are replaced by another show in the same timeslot.

In Australia, Network Ten and its sister station Eleven have stripped The Simpsons for many years, airing the show daily at 6:00 p.m., which is traditionally the news hour on rivals Seven Network and Nine Network. Despite some attempts to fill this slot with original programming, The Simpsons stripped at 6:00 p.m. remained a mainstay of Australian television, only ending when CBS Corporation took control of Ten and Eleven in 2017 and ended their output deal with 20th Century Fox Television; 7mate now carries it in various timeslots.

The archlute (archilaúd, arciliuto, Erzlaute) is a European plucked string instrument developed around 1600 as a compromise between the very large theorbo, the size and re-entrant tuning of which made for difficulties in the performance of solo music, and the Renaissance tenor lute, which lacked the bass range of the theorbo. Essentially a tenor lute with the theorbo's neck-extension, the archlute lacks the power in the tenor and the bass that the theorbo's large body and typically greater string length provide.

Overview
The main differences between the archlute and the "baroque" lute of northern Europe are that the baroque lute has 11 to 13 courses, while the archlute typically has 14, and the tuning of the first six courses of the baroque lute outlines a d-minor chord, while the archlute preserves the tuning of the Renaissance lute, with perfect fourths surrounding a third in the middle for the first six. The archlute was often used as a solo instrument for the first three-quarters of the 17th century, but is rarely mentioned as a continuo instrument in this period, the theorbo being the lute class instrument with this role.

As continuo bass lines were composed both faster in motion and higher in tessitura toward the end of the 17th century, the archlute began to eclipse the theorbo as the main plucked string continuo instrument. The theorbo lacked the higher notes of the bass lines and the increasing practise of doubling the continuo part with a bowed bass (cello or viol) made the archlute's lack of power in the tenor and bass a less important shortcoming.

The theorbo had been commonly used as the melodic bass instrument in trio sonatas from the beginning of the Baroque and the archlute took over that function too, with the most famous example being Corelli's Opus 1 and 3 trio sonatas which have partbooks for 1st and 2nd violin, 'violone o arciliuto' and a continuo part for organ, a simplified version of the 'violone o arciliuto' book. The violone o arciliuto book has just as many figures to tell the player what chords to play as the organ partbook, which suggests the archlute player would be adding chords above the bass where possible.

The archlute was used in Handel's operas and like repertoire; Giulio Cesare (1724) has continuo parts labelled both arciliuto and tiorba. Perhaps one player would play both instruments.

Music for solo archlute is usually notated in tablature.

Composers
Any late Italian Baroque music with a part labelled 'liuto' will mean 'arciliuto', the classic Renaissance lute being in disuse by this time. Among the most important composers of archlute music in the 17th century we can name Alessandro Piccinini, Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger (c. 1580 – 17 January 1651) and in the 18th century Giovanni Zamboni, whose set of 12 sonatas (1718, Lucca) for the instrument is extant, and Antonio Scotti and Melchiorre Chiesa, Milanese composers from late 18th century. Other known composers of archlute music were Antonio Tinazzoli, Giuseppe Vaccari and Lodovico Fontanelli. Modern composers for archlute include Roman Turovsky and Konstantin Bozhinov.

Performers
Some living players are Edin Karamazov, Axel Wolf, Luca Pianca (the founder of Il Giardino Armonico), and Javier Mas who predominantly play archlutes, and Paolo Cherici, Massimo Lonardi, Luciano Contini, Paul O'Dette, Jakob Lindberg, David Tayler and Nigel North, who use archlutes extensively.

Alexander Dickson (British Army officer)

Major General Sir Alexander Dickson (3 June 1777 – 22 April 1840) was a British Army officer who served in the artillery. He fought at many battles during the Napoleonic Wars. Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington had the highest opinion of his abilities and made him the effective commander of his army's artillery during the latter part of the Peninsular War.

Military career
Dickson entered the Royal Military Academy in 1793, passing out as second lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in the following year. As a subaltern he saw service in Menorca in 1798 and at Malta in 1800. As a captain he took part in the unfortunate Montevideo Expedition of 1806–07, and in 1809 he accompanied Brigadier General Edward Howorth to Portugal where he served as brigade-major of the artillery.

He soon obtained a command in the Portuguese artillery, and as a lieutenant colonel of the Portuguese service took part in the various battles of 1810–11. At the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, the Salamanca forts, and Burgos, he was entrusted by Wellington with most of the detailed artillery work. At the Battle of Salamanca he commanded the reserve artillery. In the end he became commander of the whole of the artillery of the allied army, and though still only a substantive captain in the British service, he had under his orders some 8000 men. He played a key role in the successful conclusion of the Siege of San Sebastián in 1813. At the battles of Vitoria, the Pyrenees and Toulouse he directed the movements of the artillery engaged, and at the end of the war received handsome presents from the officers who had served under him, many of whom were his seniors in the army list.

He was at the disastrous Battle of New Orleans, but returned to Europe in time for the Waterloo campaign. He was present at Quatre Bras and Waterloo on the artillery staff of Wellington's army, and subsequently commanded the British battering train at the sieges of the French fortresses left behind the advancing allies. For the rest of his life he was on home service, principally as a staff officer of artillery with the rank of major general and title of Master Gunner St James's Park.

During the Peninsular War he was present at the battles of Busaco, Albuera, Ciudad Rodrigo, Battle of Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, San Sebastián, Nivelle, Nive, and Toulouse. His Peninsular Gold Medal had six clasps – only the Duke of Wellington, with nine clasps, Sir Dennis Pack and Lord Beresford, with seven each, had more clasps to their medal.

Later career
He died, a major general and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, in 1840. A memorial was erected at Woolwich in 1847. Dickson was one of the earliest fellows of the Royal Geographical Society.

His diaries kept in the Peninsula were the main source of information used in Duncan's History of the Royal Artillery.
