Karl Goehring

Karl Goehring (born August 23, 1978, in Apple Valley, Minnesota) is a retired American professional ice hockey goaltender who is currently an assistant coach with the UND Fighting Hawks of the NCHC. He led Apple Valley High School to a win in the 1996 Minnesota State High School League Boys' Hockey Tournament. He also led the University of North Dakota to a win in the 2000 NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship.

Playing career
Goehring played four seasons for the Syracuse Crunch in the AHL, and following the abrupt departure of Tim Thomas from Jokerit in the Finnish SM-liiga, he signed with Jokerit for the 2005–06 season. Goehring was recommended to Jokerit management by Tim Thomas as a winning goaltender, but Goehring played a disappointing early season and was taken off goaltending duties in November. On November 18, 2005, he signed with the San Antonio Rampage in the AHL. Goehring was signed by the Nashville Predators on November 23, 2006, and reassigned to the Milwaukee Admirals four days later.

Goehring was released from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on November 13, 2007. He signed a professional tryout contract (PTO) with the Norfolk Admirals on November 20, 2007. Goehring then signed a professional tryout contract with the Syracuse Crunch. On March 3, 2008, Goehring was named AHL Player of the Week. On July 3, 2008, Goehring was signed by the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.

Coaching career
Goehring had offers to play in Germany in the 2009–10 season, but instead of waiting to see if more opportunities arose closer to the beginning of the season on July 24, 2009, he retired from professional hockey to begin his career in coaching. He took up an assistant coaching role with the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL, with whom he set franchise records for most games played by a goaltender (176) and wins (78) during his four-year stint with the team as a player. The Crunch later let go Goehring and the rest of their coaching staff. He returned to the Crunch before the 2017-18 season following Crunch goaltending coach David Alexander's departure to the St. Louis Blues.

After two seasons with the Crunch, he returned to his alma-mater to become a full-time assistant coach with the UND Fighting Hawks.

Personal life
Goehring is the father to Lily Kate (Lily Kate Goehring) who won episode 4 of NBC's Dancing with Myself.

My Red Hot Car

"My Red Hot Car" is a song by Squarepusher, released as a single in 2001 on Warp Records. The lead track on the single is "My Red Hot Car (Girl)", which leaves the pop music aspects of the song intact. An extended version of "My Red Hot Car" is featured on the album Go Plastic. The single is notable for two different hidden tracks, based on format: the CD version features an ambient piece after 23 minutes of silence, while the vinyl features a percussion-less version of "I Wish You Obelisk" presented behind a silent, locked groove, meaning the needle must be lifted halfway through the second side and placed after the locked groove in order to hear it.

The single was selected as NME Single of the Week in its week of release.

Trivia
Although the song title is "My Red Hot Car", the actual vocal sample in the track says "I'm going to fuck you with my red hot cock". This can be heard more clearly in the "(Girl)" version of the track.

Samples: Drum breaks used in the track include Jimmy McGriff – "The Worm", the Winstons – "Amen, Brother" and Lyn Collins – "Think (About It)".

Song usage
Miss Kittin used "My Red Hot Car" on her mix album A Bugged Out Mix.

The song is also played during a scene in the film Any Way the Wind Blows, and has been used as theme music for the MTV Italy show On the Beach.

The Original Adventures of Felix the Cat
This article is about a television series that did not exist as best I can tell. Neither The Big Cartoon Database nor The Internet Movie Database has heard of it, and Google turns up only Wikipedia as a hit. The same anon has added this series to the main Felix the Cat article more than once, and I've reverted each time. See also the related nomination for Original Adventures of Felix the Cat.

Talk:Sam & Max Hit the Road

Sequel split?
Considering the game is in progress and will be released eventually (God help them), I guess splitting into a new article might be senseful? // Gargaj 17:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I disagree. This section can remain to tell people about the canceled Lucasarts sequel. When Bad Brain release their Sam & Max game, the last paragraph of this section can be split then. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 18:58, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with JiFish, the new game in production at Telltale Games isn't related at all (content-wise) to Sam & Max Freelance Police. The "Sequel" section concerning Freelance Police should remain in this article, as it was a LucasArts game like Hit the Road, and a new article should be created for the new Sam & Max game (which has yet to be given an official title). – Quoth 02:36, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Redirect error?
Sam and Max: Freelance Police (computer game) redirects to this entry... shouldn't it be redirecting to Sam & Max Freelance Police?

 * Yeah. We weren't originally going to have a separate article. It has now been fixed. – Quoth 08:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Conroy Bumps vs. Heino

The sign trashing minigame
Is there any point to the sign trashing minigame where Max is standing on Sam's car and jumps whenever a sign comes? (Found on the lower left part of the map)

I didn't figure out any way to win in it, it isn't fun and I can't quit it! OzOz 08:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Episodic games
Maybe we could add a bit more about the episodic games from Telltale now that the season is almost over?

Link in Technical issues
I've removed the link to the altered exe file because it's a copyright violation. redistributing an altered version of a copyrighted piece of software. I've left the text in place because it's a worthwhile notable fact that someone loves the game so much that they would spend time fixing it's faults. - X201 08:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

The cameo appearances section
I think this section should be removed; I don't think Wikipedia is the place for it, and besides, this article isn't about the characters Sam and Max, but a game that featured them. CountingPine 16:47, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Since there are no counter-arguments, I shall remove this section. Whether or not it should be revived and put on the Sam & Max page is another issue.  Last chance for objections...? CountingPine (talk) 11:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Windows version
Was it released in North America? Ham Pastrami (talk) 13:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Frederick Arthur Bridgman

Frederick Arthur Bridgman (November 10, 1847 – January 13, 1928) was an American artist known for his paintings of  "Orientalist" subjects.

Life and career
Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, Bridgman was the son of a physician. After his father died in 1850, his mother moved to New York City with her two sons. Bridgman began working as a draughtsman for the American Bank Note Company in 1864–65, and studied art in the same years at the Brooklyn Art Association and at the National Academy of Design. He exhibited his paintings at the Brooklyn Art Association, and encouraged by his success, he gave up his job in 1866 and moved to France with the sponsorship of a group of Brooklyn businessmen.

Bridgman's first destination in France was Pont-Aven in the Brittany region, where he stayed with a group of American artists, among them Robert Wylie. In the autumn of 1866, he went to Paris and entered the studio of the noted academic painter Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), where he was deeply influenced by Gérôme's precise draftsmanship, smooth finishes, and concern for Middle-Eastern themes. While studying in the atelier of Gérôme, he became acquainted with his fellow students Harry Humphrey Moore and Thomas Eakins and also first came in contact with Orientalism. He remained there for four years, spending his summers at Pont-Aven with Wylie. Bridgman's first exhibition in Paris took place at the Salon de Paris in 1870, and his painting A Provincial Circus (fr. Un cirque en province) was received very positively. It was then sent to New York and exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association.

Because of the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, Bridgman was forced to leave Paris in the early 1870s. After spending time in Britanny and Spain, he made his first trips to North Africa between 1872 and 1874, dividing his time between Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt. On his trip to Egypt, he was accompanied by fellow artist Charles Sprague Pearce. Arriving in Cairo in December 1873, they worked in the city producing numerous sketches of the Islamic monuments, but also the street life, which was Bridgman's main inspiration. They travelled along the Nile, reaching Abu Simbel in the south of Egypt. During his trips, Bridgman executed approximately three hundred sketches, which became the source material for several later oil paintings that attracted immediate attention. Bridgman became known as "the American Gérôme", although Bridgman would later adopt a more naturalistic aesthetic, emphasizing bright colors and painterly brushwork.

His large and important composition, Funeral of a Mummy on the Nile (1876–77; Speed Art Museum, Louisville), exhibited at the Salon de Paris in 1877 and at the 1878 Paris Exposition, bought by James Gordon Bennett, Jr., established his success as an artist and brought him the Cross of the Legion of Honor. The painting was later purchased by the famous American collector Wendell Cherry who donated it to the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky in 1990.

In 1881, Bridgman exhibited over 300 of his works in a personal exhibition in New York. His work was highly praised for the variety of subjects and the fine quality of execution. Following this success, Bridgman was elected a member of the National Academy of Design, after already being an associate member since 1874.

In 1877, Bridgman married Florence Mott Baker from Boston in Paris. He returned to North Africa in the winter of 1885–86, settling in Algiers with his wife. In 1889, he published the book Winters in Algeria, with memories and numerous woodcut illustrations from his travels to North Africa. His repeated visits to the region throughout the 1870s and 1880s allowed him to amass a collection of costumes, architectural pieces, and objets d'art, which often appear in his paintings. John Singer Sargent noted that Bridgman's overstuffed studio, along with the Eiffel Tower, were Paris's must-see attractions.

One of the greatest successes of his artistic career was his participation in the 1889 Paris Exposition, where five of his paintings were exhibited. Though Bridgman maintained a lifelong connection to France, his popularity in the US never waned. In 1890, the artist had a personal exhibition of over 400 pictures in New York's 5th Avenue galleries. When the show moved to Chicago's Art Institute, it contained only 300 works – testimony to the high number of sales Bridgman had made.

In 1901, his wife died of a neurological illness. In 1904, he married Marthe Yaeger. After the First World War, he left Paris and retired to Lyons-la-Forêt (Normandy) with his wife. He died in Rouen in 1928 at the age of 80.

Ross Childress

Ross Childress (born September 8, 1971) is an American musician. He was the original lead guitarist and co-songwriter for the rock band Collective Soul.

Life and career
Childress was born on September 8, 1971, in Stockbridge, Georgia, USA.

Collective Soul
Childress grew up with and had played with the original band members of Collective Soul before the group signed to Atlantic Records in early 1994. Over a period of eight years with the band, he recorded on, and toured in support of, five studio albums that have sold over seven million copies and generated seven #1 singles on the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. He left the band in September 2001, 2 weeks before the release of the greatest hits compilation 7even Year Itch with Joel Kosche taking his place. The band had released a brief statement on its website regarding the departure, urging fans to understand that the situation was very personal. Collective Soul performed their first concert without Childress in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia on September 5.

During his time with Collective Soul, Childress was known for his metallic guitar sounds and heavy riffs incorporating elements of metal and blues in his playing. Along with front man Ed Roland, he penned many of the band's popular "hooks." Childress wrote, sang lead vocals, and performed guitar on the song "Dandy Life" on the 1999 release Dosage. This was the first time that a member other than Ed Roland had sung lead on a studio recording.

Other projects
In 2004/2005, Ross returned to recording music as a studio musician for the Trevor Hurst project entitled "Hurst". Hurst is best known as the lead vocalist of the Canadian Rock Band Econoline Crush. Ross contributed in many ways, including co-writing & producing. The band recruited a few other musicians to join. The album has done moderately well in Canada since its release in June 2005. Touring with Trevor as "Early Moses," named after the Basquiat painting of the same name, Ross played a few shows, but decided not to play live and remain in the background.

In November 2006, Ross was mentioned on the Myspace.com page of Atlanta-based Metal/Rockabilly band "The Hot Rods" as the producer of their debut album "Rumble Seat" slated for release in January 2007.

In December 2006, a Myspace.com page for Ross appeared. It spoke of a new project entitled "Ross Childress Experience", consisting of himself on vocals/guitar, and two musician friends on bass and drums. With the addition of a second backup singer/guitarist in 2007, "Ross Childress Experience" was renamed "Starfish and Coffee," and their self-titled debut album was released on April 29, 2008.

In 2009, the post-Kansas band Native Window recorded the song "Surrender" written by Ross and Hurst for their album Native Window.

On November 23, 2010, Ross released his first solo album, the 10 track "Music Box". Ross has been featured in the cover band GoBox.

In April 2015, Ross co-produced & co-wrote a song for Atlanta, Georgia recording artist Lynnay Della Luce called "Soaked In Gasoline" along with Dacula, Georgia-based music producer Ryan Burton. The song was mainly recorded at Reel 2 Real Recording Studios in Jonesboro, Georgia, the studio that Collective Soul started at back in the early 1990s. The song was featured on a series of YouTube videos called "Session Time".

On April 17, 2018, Newnan, Georgia artist Sara Greer released "Chasing Shadows" which was produced by Ross. The release was announced on Sara Greer's official Facebook page. The song was released by Ryan Burton Music Group a Dacula, GA based independent record company. It is available online at all usual vendors. Ross plays all the instruments, did all the arrangements and most of the production.

On April 23, 2018 Ryan Burton Music Group broadcast on social media that Sara Greer would record 9 more songs with Ross for an expected summer 2018 release of an album. The recordings are being recorded at the "Tiger's Den" Ross' studio.

Dacula, Georgia artist Burton The Artist announced on his Facebook page on July 10, 2018, that he had released an album called "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" featuring a track called "Two Roads" which includes 3 guitar solos from Ross. It is an epic track that has the most recent electric guitar work from Ross.

On January 26, 2019, Ryan Burton Music Group posted on social media that Sara Greer would release "Drama, Drama" produced by Ross on March 15, 2019. It comprises nine original songs written by Greer; all instrumentation, engineering and production was handled by Ross.

Ross is currently half of the duo performing as 2 Broke Kings along with Stephen Wines. They are sometimes joined by former Collective Soul drummer Shane Evans while performing at metro Atlanta venues.

This is fictional
I have gone through and made a lot of changes considering how Dragonology is fictional. It does make claims that it is true inside the books, but all the copyrights state that it is, legally, fictional. The article must be treated as if it is about a fictional subject. That means all fictional characters must be stated as fictional. I know a lot of you probably want to keep the article similar to the books in that way, but this is an encyclopedia. Not a novel. I'm sorry for this, but when Wikipedia says that the article is having trouble keeping fact and fiction apart, the article is having trouble keeping fact and fiction apart.

Árpád Tóth

Árpád Tóth (14 April 1886 – 7 November 1928) was a Hungarian poet and translator.

Tóth went to secondary school (gymnasium) in Debrecen and then studied German and Hungarian at the University of Budapest. In 1907, his poems began to appear in the papers A Hét and Vasárnapi Újság and after 1908 in Nyugat. In 1911, he became a theater critic for the paper Debreceni Nagy Újság.

In 1913, he became a tutor to a wealthy family and received a little income from writing but still lived in poverty. Tuberculosis led him to rest at the Svedlér Sanitorium in the Tatra Mountains.

During the period of the revolutionary government after World War I, he became secretary of the Vörösmarty Academy, but lost the position and couldn't find new work after the government's fall. He remained poor and sick with tuberculosis for the rest of his life, succumbing to the disease in Budapest in 1928. His prolonged suffering led him to consider suicide at one point – although he did join the staff of Az Est in 1921.

In Debrecen, a secondary school was named after him. In April 2011, the Hungarian National Bank issued a commemorative silver coin celebrating the 125th anniversary of the poet's birth.

Works
He was a major lyric poet and contributed to the Nyugat School. His core themes focused on fleeting happiness and resignation.

He translated Milton, Oscar Wilde, Shelley, Keats, Baudelaire, Flaubert, Gautier, Maupassant, and Chekhov.

Template:Satanism

I like what you've done with that! It looks great. ♠ P  M  C  ♠ 01:10, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks! =) It encourages to see that people notice. I haven't yet finished too =). --Vitalyb 20:24, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I made the template into the red version that it was when you must have first seen it, so I keep an eye on it =) Keep up the killer work! ♠ P  M  C  ♠ 07:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC) Edit - I'm not sure about the black type on black bars though, maybe change the font to scarlet or something, so that it's legible?
 * I actually did like the scarlet =( I just couldn't figure out how I change the links to the same color as font (white), same way they did here, for example: Template:Heavymetal. I'll look at it some more =\. But do change to how you feel it looks better. P.S On that subject, I wish I could do some kind of CSS in tables. All this (ab)use is so 1994. --Vitalyb 00:58, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Let me have a look at it, I'll see if I can work out how to change the font colors. Scarlet on black, or white on scarlet, or black on scarlet? ♠ P  M  C  ♠ 00:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC) Got it. Check it out =D

Fixing(?) silly colors in template:Satanism
I mean the following change:

It is great you cleaned the markup but what is it about the colors? They seemed alright to me (more fitting to the theme at least). Could you elaborate? --Vitalyb

 * Uhhh, what can I say - do you see the marijuana article covered with green? The hell article covered in red?  All the tables of contents look the same - it's about consistency. ¦ Reisio 02:09, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No, but the Heavy metal template has red titles and it looks good. In fact, many templates have different colors do you see something especially wrong with this template being black besides? --Vitalyb 13:50, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't particularly care for that one, either, but only the headings have been altered, and red isn't a color that automatically makes me think "heavy metal". Making a box dark gray with BLACK headings on the Satanism article, however, smacks of embellishment and is moreover a stark contrast to the default monobook skin, decreasing readability - imho. ¦ Reisio 17:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Londo and Drakh.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Londo and Drakh.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Londo and Drakh.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Londo and Drakh.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:36, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

I unequivocoably and irrevocably revoke all rights to Wikipedia or any affiliated or other third party to any content contributed by myself using this account. I request that Wikipedia delete all content relating to my contributions. I at no time gave up or abandoned copyright to any works submitted to Wikipedia; all such works were contributed under an understanding of good will which has since been broken.

 * Actually you did abandon any right. Whenever you clicked "save" you saw and accepted this: "You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the terms of the GFDL".   BMW  (drive)  22:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Not correct. Mattopia has not "abandoned any rights". He has, however, granted a irrevocable license for people to use his work under the terms of the GFDL. Other rights are unaffected, as e.g. his right to relicense his work under other licenses, or his right to be recognized as the author. Of course, the distinction is mostly academic in this case, but it is quite significant in principle. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 23:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I was shortening it for simplicity. Shorter form: you agree to all your edits being released to GDFL, when you click SAVE, which cannot be singlehandedly revoked.   BMW  (drive)  23:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Wikipedia:Deletion policy has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Knippschild (talk) 21:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

RE: whatever you're talking about.
I'm not a bot. First off, you removed other content. That's against policy. Secondly, I believe you should take a look at the policy on ownership of articles/materials on Wikipedia. You do not own anything you submit. It becomes property of Wikipedia. Knippschild (talk) 21:37, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Charge transfer insulators constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 21:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Mott insulator. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 21:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Atomic orbital model. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 21:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

You have been from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for making legal threats or taking legal action. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia as long as the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. If you believe that a legal action is warranted, you may contact our information team at [mailto:info-en@wikimedia.org info-en@wikimedia.org] and they may forward it to our legal counsel or a more appropriate venue. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below.

Hey Mattopia, I was just wondering what caused you to suddenly decide you no longer want your contributions on Wikipedia? As others have explained, the GFDL is not revocable so you can't just remove the content and images (imagine if people were allowed to revoke such a license, how chaotic and useless Wikipedia would be), but I couldn't find any recent dispute in your contributions and I was wondering if there was some incident that caused you to get so upset? If it is something we might be able to help you with, either with information or assistance resolving a dispute, then you can post here and explain what exactly the problem is. But please understand that this material is not going to be removed as you voluntarily agreed to license it under the GFDL. All the best, Sarah 23:23, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no idea how this works. Can you see my reply? Apparently writing messages on someone else's talk page is considered vandalism and gets you banned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattopia (talk • contribs)
 * You were blocked for threatening legal action for maintaining copies of your licensed works. --Golbez (talk) 16:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a piece of advice, If you retract your legal threat as the block notice and WP:NLT says ("Users who make legal threats will typically be blocked from editing indefinitely while legal threats are outstanding."), there is a good chance you will be unblocked, an apology for being rash would also go along way, but is your choice.  « l | Ψrometheăn ™ | l »   (talk) 02:46, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * As Golbez says, you were blocked for your legal threats, and you were very close to being blocked for your pointy and disruptive edits to articles, but you certainly were not blocked for posting to someone's talk page. But frankly, after the socking, copyios and disruption, we're way passed the point of a simple legal threats block now and it will take a lot more than a retraction of the legal threats to get you unblocked (if you even want to be unblocked). I would still like to know what lead you to suddenly do all this and if there is something we can do to help you. Sarah 06:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Try Emailing (According to him thats his)   « l | Ψrometheăn ™ | l »   (talk) 08:59, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks but nah, I don't want to email him. I don't really want to go offsite unless there's privacy concerns. If there's something that's suddenly upset him that the community can try to resolve, he can either post about it here or write to OTRS and post here and I will then go and find his email.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-10-10/Breaking news

In a mailing list post today, Jimbo Wales appointed two users to the Arbitration Committee: Mindspillage (a.k.a. Kat Walsh), and Kelly Martin (a.k.a. karynn).

Mindspillage made her first edit in June 2004, and was made an admin in April 2005. Kelly Martin first contributed in December 2004, becoming an administrator in June 2005. Jimbo referred to both users as "highly recommended".

Some users expressed dismay at the use of temporary appointments. Talrias, a candidate for the December ArbCom elections, said "I disagree with the principle of Jimbo appointing people to the arbitration committee rather than having elections. The Committee was originally set up with the idea that arbitrators would be elected by the community - in fact, there was a special election when two original members resigned." Jguk agreed, but said "The reason for an appointment is that it is temporary, will only last for two and a half months, and is easier at present...really, we need rules in place to provide for what we do with vacancies."

Most users, however, were decidedly in support of the appointments. Hamster Sandwich said, "I agree with the process of appointing ArbCom members. It ensures a higher standard of accountability to the editing community at large, in that appointees can be revoked with out a complicated process if they act in bad faith or contrary to the letter and spirit of WP process."

Both Mindspillage and Kelly Martin's terms will expire on 31 December, 2005. Neither have officially announced their candidacy for another term.

In other news, Jimbo announced that plans are in the works for "a new election process for the arbcom which I hope will deal, in some small way at least, with the unpleasantness of last year's process." No further details are yet available.

Also announced in the post was the appointment of James Forrester to the position of Chief Research Officer, replacing Erik Möller, who resigned on 17 August (see archived story).

Falling Free

Falling Free is a science fiction novel by American writer Lois McMaster Bujold, part of her Vorkosigan Saga. It was first published as four installments in Analog from December 1987 to February 1988, and won the Nebula Award for Best Novel for 1988. It is included in the 2007 omnibus Miles, Mutants and Microbes.

Plot summary
The novel is set about 200 years before the birth of Miles Vorkosigan, the protagonist of much of the Vorkosigan series. It deals with the "Quaddies", genetically modified people who have four arms, the second pair situated where legs would normally go. They were intended to be used as a space labor force, superbly adapted to zero-gravity work (where legs would be merely a hindrance). They would not require the special facilities or mandatory time off needed by unmodified humans, whose bodies tend to deteriorate over the long term in weightlessness, and would thus be more efficient (and profitable) for the company that created them.

Legally, the Quaddies are not considered human beings, with their attendant rights, but simply "post-fetal experimental tissue cultures". The company treats them as chattel slaves. They are carefully indoctrinated from childhood to be loyal to the company, and their access to information is tightly controlled; even their children's stories are about working in space. They are the subject of a breeding program, the company choosing who will mate with whom.

Then a new artificial gravity technology renders the Quaddies obsolete practically overnight and a financial drain to the company. Though there are discussions about liquidating them, a powerful company higher up decides to simply dump them on the planet in an isolated camp as the most cost-effective solution. Bipedal engineer Leo Graf, who had been assigned to teach them construction techniques, instead organizes them for a mass escape to a remote star system.

Bujold has stated in the notes of her reprints that Falling Free was the first half of the intended story. The unwritten, second story was to tell how the Quaddies settled into what would be known as "Quaddiespace". Diplomatic Immunity, published in 2002, revisits the Quaddies in their home system, showing the state of their society some 240 years after its foundation.

Characters

 * Leo Graf – a genetically unmodified human engineer, he is based on the author's father, Robert Charles McMaster (1913–1986). He is hired to train the Quaddies in space-engineering practices. Graf is unaware of the nature of the Quaddies until he arrives at the station. He becomes sympathetic to their plight, and when he learns of the company's plans for them in the wake of the new artificial gravity technologies, he works out plans for their escape.
 * Silver – a young female Quaddie who is instrumental in assisting Leo Graf in the escape. They later fall in love.
 * Bruce Van Atta - Leo's boss, the executive in charge of the project and the primary villain. He views the Quaddies as merely a stepping stone for his rise in the company.

Minni ritchi

Minni ritchi is a type of reddish-brown bark that continuously peels in small curly flakes, leaving the tree looking like it has a coat of red curly hair. Brooker and Kleinig (1990) formally described it as a bark type in which "the outer rich, red-brown smooth bark splits both longitudinally and horizontally, the free edges rolling back without completely detaching to expose new green bark beneath".

A number of species of Acacia and Eucalyptus have minni ritchi bark, including:
 * Acacia curranii
 * Acacia cyperophylla (creekline miniritchie)
 * Acacia delibrata
 * Acacia gracillima
 * Acacia grasbyi (miniritchie)
 * Acacia monticola
 * Acacia rhodophloia
 * Acacia trachycarpa
 * Eucalyptus caesia (gungurru, 'Silver Princess')
 * Eucalyptus crucis (narrow-leaved silver mallee)
 * Eucalyptus minniritchi
 * Eucalyptus orbifolia

Kickboxer (1989 film)

Kickboxer is a 1989 American martial arts film directed by David Worth and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Former world kickboxing champion Dennis Alexio is also featured. It spawned several sequels. It was produced by Kings Road Entertainment and released by The Cannon Group, Inc. on September 8, 1989. It grossed $50 million on a budget of $2.7 million.

Plot
Kurt is the younger brother and cornerman of Eric Sloane, the heavyweight kickboxing world champion. After another successful title defense, Eric is enticed by the media to compete in Thailand, where kickboxing was started, to further establish his legacy. As a result, Eric and Kurt travel to Bangkok to fight Tong "The Tiger" Po, Thailand's undefeated top fighter. Eric is supremely confident, but Kurt becomes apprehensive after witnessing Tong Po kicking a concrete pillar in preparation for the fight. He begs Eric not to fight, but Eric dismisses any concerns.

Eric gets beaten badly until Kurt throws in the towel, but Tong Po kicks the towel out of the ring, and continues his assault. He viciously strikes Eric in the back, immobilizing him. Kurt leaves with his brother on a stretcher, but the fight officials leave them on the street. Winston Taylor, a retired United States Army Special Forces soldier, agrees to help the pair by driving them to the hospital. As a result of Tong Po's brutal attack, Eric is paralyzed from the waist down and will never be able to walk again.

An enraged Kurt vows to avenge his brother. He searches for a trainer to teach him Muay Thai, but is mocked and laughed out of the gym by the local fighters. Eventually, Taylor tells him about Xian Chow, a famous Muay Thai Kru. Although reluctant at first, Xian agrees to train Kurt after Kurt prevents goons sent by Freddy Li - a higher up in a racketeering organization and Tong Po's manager - from stealing money from Xian's niece, Mylee. Xian convinces Freddy Li to arrange a preliminary match between Kurt and another fighter. Kurt is victorious and earns a match against Tong Po. It is determined that they will fight in the "ancient way": both fighters wrap their hands in hemp rope, which is then coated in resin, and dipped in broken glass to make them deadly weapons.

Freddy Li arranges to have the fight fixed, and borrows $1 million from the Thai crime syndicate's boss Tao Liu in order to bet on Tong Po. Prior to the match, Mylee is beaten and raped by Tong Po, while Eric is kidnapped so that Freddy Li can blackmail Kurt into losing the fight. Mylee begs Taylor to help find Eric, but he is reluctant to cross Freddy Li.

To save his brother's life, Kurt is instructed by Freddy Li to go the distance with Tong Po before losing the match. While Tong Po punishes Kurt, Xian and Taylor manage to locate Eric and rescue him. Before the final round, Eric arrives with Xian and Taylor. With Eric now out of danger, and angered by Tong Po's taunts over Mylee's rape, Kurt defeats Tong Po.

Soundtrack
A soundtrack containing songs from the film was released featuring songs from soundtrack specialist Stan Bush. The score for the film was composed by Paul Hertzog. The full score was remastered and released in 2006 by Perseverance Records in limited quantity.

The 2006 official score release does not include a previously released version of the score track titled "Buddha's Eagle" which was released on the Best of Van Damme Volume 2 Compilation CD.

An expanded version of the 2006 album was released by Perseverance Records in July 2014. This album contained the remastered original 22 tracks plus 9 vocal performances that previously had only been available in Germany.

Home media
Kickboxer was first released on VHS by HBO Video in 1990. DVD was released by HBO Home Video in the United States on June 8, 1999. The DVD was released by Prism Leisure Corporation in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2003.

Box office
Kickboxer grossed $14,697,005 in the United States. Cannon deliberately released it on the traditionally slow weekend after Labor Day when no studio releases, and thus limited competition; it opened on 973 screens and grossed $4.1 million, making it the third most popular film in the country. A few years later its gross was estimated at $50 million.

Critical response
Chris Willman of the Los Angeles Times called the film "egregiously dull" and a contender for one of "the dumbest action pictures of the year", citing its "jarring shifts in tone, insurmountable plot implausibilities, rampant racial stereotyping, superfluous nudity and inhuman amounts of comically exaggerated violence". Willman also questioned the manner in which characters seem to recover from serious injuries and major trauma.

Chris Hicks of the Deseret News criticized the film as a ripoff of The Karate Kid, with added elements from other films such as Rocky and Rambo. In addition to stating that the ending was predictable, Hicks also dismissed Van Damme as "little more than a low-budget Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabee" whose attempts at acting were in vain.

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 36% based on reviews from 11 critics. On Metacritic the film has a score of 33% based on reviews from 4 critics. Slashfilm identified it as one of the most influential martial arts films of all time.

Sequels
The film spawned several sequels. Despite Van Damme not returning, the film series between parts two and four continues the ongoing battles between the Sloane family (although now spelled Sloan) - expanded to include third brother David Sloan(e), played by Sasha Mitchell - and Tong Po. Michel Qissi returned as Tong Po for Kickboxer 2: The Road Back and appears in a flashback scene shown at the beginning of Kickboxer 4: The Agressor. This scene looks to be a seemingly deleted scene from Kickboxer 2 that never made the final cut. Tong Po was played by Kamel Krifa in Kickboxer 4. Kickboxer 5: The Redemption was a stand-alone story with new characters and has a small connection to the previous films.

Reboot
Kickboxer was remade as Kickboxer: Vengeance, as a reboot of the series which was released on September 2, 2016.

Local eGovernment

Local eGovernment is eGovernment as it relates to local government, police, fire, national park and transport authorities.

Local eGovernment in England
The UK government’s objective was that all of the public services in England should be capable of being delivered electronically by 31 December 2005. The Modernising Government White Paper of March 1999 proposed "all dealings with government being deliverable electronically by 2008." Prime Minister Tony Blair then announced on 30 March 2000 that the target date had been brought forward from 2008 to 2005.

Electronic delivery is defined as delivery through internet protocols and other ICT methods, and includes delivery by telephone if the officer receiving the call can access electronic information and/or update records online there and then.

The average local authority achieved a reported 97% e-enablement by 31 December 2005, though it is suspected the actual figure is much lower. The target also applied to the Civil Service, which achieved a reported 96%.

Implementing Electronic Government (IEG) Statements
From December 2001 to April 2006 local authorities were required to publish an IEG Statement on their degree of e-enablement (electronic enablement). The measures include BVPI 157 and the Priority Outcomes.

Best Value Performance Indicator (BVPI) 157
BVPI 157 measures the percentage of 'interactions' provided by a local authority that are e-enabled. The figure must be published annually as part of the Best Value performance management framework. The figure is calculated by considering the following ten types of interaction as they apply to the services provided by the local authority: Local authorities may use a proprietary list of services, but are required to validate their list against the Local Government Services List (LGSL). BVPI 157 forms part of the annual IEG statement.
 * providing information
 * collecting revenue
 * providing benefits and grants
 * consultation
 * regulation (such as issuing licences)
 * applications for services
 * booking venues, resources and courses
 * paying for goods and services
 * providing access to community, professional or business networks
 * procurement

Priority Outcomes
To guide local authorities in implementing eGovernment, the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (and its successor the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM)) issued a list of key targets, most commonly referred to as the Priority Outcomes or PSOs (Priority Service Outcomes). The list was issued in the snappily entitled document Defining E-government Outcomes for 2005 to Support the Delivery of Priority Services & National Strategy Transformation Agenda for Local Authorities in England – Version 1.0. In September 2004, detailed guidance on the Priority Outcomes was issued in the document Priority Outcomes - Explanatory Notes for Practitioners, published by the IDeA (Improvement and Development Agency) and endorsed by the ODPM.

Priority Outcomes are rated with three levels of obligation:
 * Required = To be implemented (available for use) by Dec 2005
 * Good = To be approved for funding and being actively implemented by Dec 2005 and implemented by April 1, 2006
 * Excellent = Voluntary for authorities that have implemented required and good outcomes early.

The following technologies are recommended in Priority Outcomes: Explanatory Notes for Practitioners as those likely to be essential in the achievement of the Priority Outcomes:
 * Customer relationship management system:
 * Customer database (single view of info on each customer, citizen and business)
 * Customer tracking (across access channels and from contact to resolution)
 * Data warehousing (central repository for data, including legacy data)
 * Middleware and web services (manages flow of data between all systems, including external)
 * Document management system:
 * Workflow, messaging and e-forms (gets work to the right people at the right time)
 * Document and records management (e-storage of all documents and info)
 * Content management (system for publishing content to all access channels)
 * Security, authentication and smartcards (for security of information)
 * e-Payments (system for receiving payments to the council)
 * e-Procurement (system for internal/external buying processes)
 * Geographic Information System (GIS) (access to geographical data through maps)
 * Local land and property gazetteer (database of land and property information)
 * Access channels (websites, call centres, kiosks, digital TV, mobile phones, etc.)

Socitm Insight Better Connected reports
Local authority websites are also subject to assessments by Socitm (Society of Information Technology Management) Insight in their annual Better Connected reports.

Wikiproject: UCF 4th Year Medical Student Peer Review
Good work Chris, a few suggestions you might consider as we complete our development of these articles:
 * When discussing the male predominance in epidemiology, consider rewording "thought to be" to "has been demonstrated/shown in population-based studies". This appears to be more definitive of the true distribution shown through clinical evaluation.
 * Rather than citing UptoDate, you may consider the article cited on the UptoDate page (PMID: 19909991). This is an open access article that the layperson could access without having to utilize an UptoDate login
 * Signs and Symptoms: when discussing early symptoms, I would rephrase "Early symptoms might include poor feeding or cyanosis that does not respond to oxygen administration". This is more of a syntax edit that clarifies that the cyanosis is independent of poor feeding.
 * Consider combining the last two sentences of "Pathogenesis > Altered Blood Flow" In some cases of aortic stenosis that occur in fetal development, there is added stress on the left ventricle in utero. This can eventually lead to decreased perfusion and stop the growth of the left ventricle.[14].
 * I did not see any inclusion of the future of stem cell therapies that you mentioned in your plan to edit
 * When introducing the motor delay in the prognosis section, there is a typo in the word "Additionally".
 * Other developmental delays are introduced in the first paragraph in "Prognosis", you may further develop these if you can find adequate resources to build on those complications.

Happy to offer further assistance as we continue to build these topics. Kjlockart (talk) 23:16, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Move !!
Please learn the difference between "move" (as defined by the MediaWiki software) and "copy and paste". This delete request states "I moved..." - no you did not - you copy-and-pasted. If I had carried out your delete request, I would have destroyed over a year's edit history. If you wish to move an article to a title that already exists, eg. in the simplest case to reverse a previous move, then you must request an admin to do it. -- RHaworth 18:36:28, 2005-09-11 (UTC)

Category link text labels
I noticed you updated the category tag for Saffron to read " ". In case you weren't aware of it, this is not necessary. The only reason to add a category link text label is to change the order it is displayed on a category page. There are three cases where this is useful: Please forgive me if you already knew this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:43, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Ignore a leading word in an article title, like "The" or a person's first name. For example, Malcolm Reynolds uses "  ". This would not apply to Saffron, as she is (at this point) a single-named person.
 * 2) Meta-articles, which you might want to keep "out of the way" of normal category items. These are tagged as "  " and end up in a separate section headed by "*".
 * 3) Templates that force inclusion in a category, which are tagged "  ". These are sorted by the title of the article the template is placed in. (Unfortunately, there is currently no way I know of to reorder articles like case #1 using templates like case #3.)

Template:Unsigned3
Hello, I realize that you've left, but I wanted you to know that I've changed unsigned3 a wee bit. I've deleted the coloring and made it small so that it looks like other unsigned templates.

Final Fantasy images
Aww, damn, those weren't orphaned? :( I deleted them months ago... if they were deleted just a few days ago there might have been some way to recover them from a cache somehow, but at this point I doubt there's anything that can be done. The trouble is, when images are linked to through text links, as they are in the articles you mentioned, they don't show up on the image description page under the "file links" section. I even contacted DarkEvil about the images because they all seemed to be unused, but he left Wikipedia a few days later. I'm very sorry about that... Coffee 17:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi, Cuahl! I announce to you that I return as troubles keeping me from coming back were gone. Since I was still receiving messages from other people, including yours, I decided I'd come back. Furthermore, some troubles have been caused by me and I want to correct them as I know I am able to do a lot for the articles in the Final Fantasy project. Once again, thanks for the message who made me decide that I'd really return. DarkEvil 00:25, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Mel Gibson
You seem to be removing some links to Mel Gibson sites which I have added.

Tetra Master article
hey, can you add references to the Tetra Master article you created. i recently tried to get it promoted to good article status, but the status was removed because it has no referenced sources. -- ZeWrestler  Talk 20:29, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Check the talk page for the article, a template of it being previously listed as a good article is there. The person who put that there stated that it needs to be well referenced and have sources.  Check the link to good article standards for more information. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 21:16, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Judging from what i see, I guess see if you can find any sources that back up what is stated in the article, or find a way to cite from the game. I remember all the work you had put into the article when it was created, so I'm trying to see if I can get it elevated back to Good Article status.-- ZeWrestler  Talk 21:28, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Paris
Hey, I just read your request over on Wikitravel. What are you questions? I'll be happy to try to answer. -- MarkJaroski 13:16, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I'm answering here because you seem more comfortable with Wikipedia, but I guess probably it should be on in the long run.

First off, yes, if you want to ride the Metro your best bet is to buy a "Carnet de dix billets" pron: carnay duh dee. You can get them in Gare du Nord assuming you are taking the Eurostar. They have an info booth there where the staff wear little badges with flags showing the languages they speak, so just look for the union jack.

Actually though I would put the metro third on my list of means of transport in Paris. I greatly prefer walking and cycling. Given that you and your friend are 20 and 21 you really ought to walk since you can probably see everything you want to see on foot, and its more fun anyhow. As soon as you get in get a copy of "Plan de Paris par Arrondissement" (or print out my maps from Wikitravel). That said the metro can be fun: If you want to experience full on metro crazyness try to use the Châtelet-Les Halles station:  It's insane! Far far crazier than any London tube station. Also in a pinch cabs are very very cheap by London standards.

For your friend I would suggest you spend some time in the 4th Arrondissement. Around the corner of Rue Vielle du Temple and Rue de la Bretonnerie is where you'll probably find the scene I guess he's looking for. There are a couple of hundred trendy cafes in the area some gay and some straight: Just walk around. Actually my wife and I did most of the reviews in the Wikitravel article, and since we're not much interested in gay bars we didn't review any. Your friend's contribution would be welcome over there.

If I were you I probably wouldn't much worry about the language problem. The waitstaff will speak some English pretty much anywhere you go in the 1st or 4th arrondissements, and that should be more than enough Paris for one visit. That said the pleasantries can be pretty important, so do study up on those, "bon jour", "pardonnez-moi parlez-vous l'anglais ?" etc.

Almost every hotel in Paris has English speaking staff, so that's almost certainly not an issue. What's your price range? -- MarkJaroski 14:29, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Final Fantasy Project
Hiya, I added some comments to your subject and had a bit of a play with date tagging - see if its the kind of thing you had in mind =) As I said on the project page, I like the idea of a Project Portal a lot, one of my self-assigned jobs is a bit of project management as you've probably noticed! If it's ok, I might have a tinker now and then in your sandbox? >Gamemaker 17:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi -- I'd like to know how to go about lobbying for having the current "Spira" article changed to "Spira (Final Fantasy)" and putting up the "Spira (disambiguation)" page in place of "Spira," as a normative encyclopedic definition. As you will see, I have a personal interest in this... Spir 21:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * thanks for the info, cua HL  ... you rule. Spir 21:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, and yeah, do let me know when you have something for the project pages! Anything that improves them has to be a Good Thing =) >Gamemaker 22:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

New project pages project (!)
Hiya, I've had a dip into some of your new stuff over today and just wanted to say its looking good so far. I especially like the Announcements system - I'd quite like to see that go live immediately actually =) It's still a bit tricky at the moment to see how it will all feel, but I'm sure once you get a front end in place that should all become clearer. >Gamemaker 23:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Had another sniff around: In general I don't see anything to complain about! >Gamemaker 14:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the changes to the Review section, having the project page for information and the talk page for discussion makes sense and should make things tidier. I'd add a note somewhere early on that encourages newbies to bypass whatever aspects of the submission process they don't understand (similar to a note I added at the top of the current Review page). You might also want to specify what the appropriate 'status' field options are: I guess 'open' and 'complete' are enough, or maybe 'open', 'resolved' and 'unresolved' would be better.
 * Your WPFF Subpage template may be redundant, as sub-pages in project space automatically get a link to their parent level at the top of the page...
 * Good idea to put an explaination of the role call, though I envisioned it being used to populate the active participants list on the project front page: ie, the names on the role call at the end of a month define the new month's active participants list, and the role call is flushed for the new month. I think this is probably what you meant anyway, just with different words =)

Hi again, nice job on the implementation of the new pages! Something's confusing me though, we seem to have two Community sections now: the old one on the main discussion page, and the new one on its own page. The new page seems to be the new home, but it refers people back to the old section for the role call... =/ Would it be better to move all Community stuff to the new page? We could alter the Navigation box to improve its visibility and, for a while at least, point people to it from the old section too. What do you reckon? >Gamemaker 10:44, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: "Looking good, and sorry"
No hard feelings whatsoever. I've come to understand where you were coming from, and am trying to adjust my judgement accordingly. Cases like the Al Bhed thing probably could have done with a full week, whereas something like that Midgar discussion a while back needed exactly as long as it ran, or at least a good two weeks for everyone to weigh in on it.

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome,, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, KnowledgeOfSelf, JoanneB, Titoxd and FireFox. The elections have ended.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me via email or talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Gary Spani

Gary Spani (born January 9, 1956) is a former American football linebacker who played for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL) from 1978 to 1986. He has worked for the Chiefs' front office since 1989, and was the directors of community engagement for the Chiefs.

Spani was born in Satanta, Kansas, but raised in Manhattan, Kansas, and graduated from Manhattan High School. He played college football at Kansas State University. At Kansas State, he was a three-time All Big Eight Conference selection, was conference defensive player of the year in 1977, and was named the school's first consensus All American in 1977. He still holds the all-time tackles record for Kansas State University. Following graduation, Spani was named MVP of the East-West Shrine Game.

The Chiefs selected Spani in the third round of the 1978 NFL Draft. As a professional, Spani was a hardnosed and tenacious player. He was a team captain for the Chiefs in 1983. He formerly held the all-time tackles record for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he registered 999 career stops. His single-season record of 157 tackles with the Chiefs, set in 1979, stood until 2002 when it was broken by Mike Maslowski. He also recorded 9.5 sacks, recovered 10 fumbles and scored 4 touchdowns during his Chiefs career.

Spani was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame in 2003.

Daughter Shalin Spani played college basketball for the Kansas State University Wildcats from 2007 to 2010. She later married K-State star quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein. Daughter Taber Spani plays college basketball for the Tennessee Lady Vols. His third daughter, Tanis Spani, is a member of the Southwest Baptist University Lady Bearcat basketball team.

A Favor House Atlantic

"A Favor House Atlantic" is a song by American progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria from their 2003 album In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. In the United States, it remains Coheed and Cambria's highest charting song, having peaked at No. 13 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. It reached No. 77 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song features the characters Claudio and Al the Killer, and is part of the sci-fi saga that is present in almost all of the band's songs. In contrast to other songs on the album, "A Favor House Atlantic" has been described as a "fairly straightforward [slice] of emo". Vulture.com described the song as a Trojan Horse of invading emo disguised as pop music.

The song is featured in ATV Offroad Fury 3. It was also made available as a downloadable, playable track for the music video game series Rock Band as part of the Bonnaroo Pack. It also appears on the soundtrack to Major League Baseball 2K9.

Variety ranked it as one of the best emo songs of all time in 2022.

Music video
There are two versions of the music video of the song. The first, directed by Christian Winters, revolves around the band in a bar, attempting to pick up women. Meanwhile, an alternate version of the band performs the song on the stage. This version could be considered an "80s" version of the band as they wear typical 80s rock style attire such as headbands and tight clothes.

The video's humor is very tongue-in-cheek featuring antics such as drummer Josh Eppard attempting to look up girls' dresses, bassist Michael Todd in a drunken stupor soliciting the services of a drag queen, and the band insulting itself.

The second version is an animated video, telling a story from the Amory Wars. Rather than being about Claudio and Al the Killer, however, it is about Coheed and Cambria as teenagers.

Dawson murder case

The Dawson family, a family of seven (parents Carnell and Angela, and five children), were all murdered in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S., on October 16, 2002. After Angela had repeatedly alerted police to drug dealing, assault, and other crimes in her East Baltimore neighborhood of Oliver, the entire family was killed when their home was firebombed. A neighbor, Darrell L. Brooks— pleaded guilty to the crimes and was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole. At the time of the attack, Brooks was on probation but had been left unsupervised.

After repeated vandalism of their home, the Dawsons survived a first arson attempt on October 3, 2002, only to succumb to the second. The outcry over the magnitude of the crime was only matched by the frustration expressed by many residents who simply could not believe that city officials, who were aware of the escalating violence, had been unable to protect the family. City officials defended their actions, saying an offer to relocate the family was refused.

The tragedy underscored the failure in attempts to encourage residents of Baltimore to stand up to drug dealing and of the city to provide protection to those who did. In 2005, relatives of the Dawson family filed suit against the city, state and various agencies. They alleged that despite the launch of the "Believe Campaign" in 2002 (which encouraged residents to supply information about drug dealers) there were insufficient resources to protect witnesses who did come forward. The lawsuit was later dismissed, a ruling which was later upheld in an appeal to the Maryland Court of Appeals.

Numerous efforts to reclaim and rebuild Oliver in the name of the Dawson family have been undertaken by politicians, activists and ordinary citizens. Mayor (and later Governor of Maryland) Martin O'Malley, U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, State Senator Nathaniel McFadden and the action group known as Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development (BUILD) have worked in individual and collective ways to ensure the Dawson family a lasting public memory. The house where the Dawsons died reopened in April 2007 as the Dawson Safe Haven Community Center.
