The Utah State Aggies are a Division I men's college basketball team that plays in the Mountain West Conference, representing Utah State University. In the 17 years that former coach Stew Morrill was at the helm, Utah State had the 4th highest winning percentage in the nation at home, behind only Duke, Kansas, and Gonzaga. As of the end of the 2018–19 season, the Aggies have an all-time record of 1,604 wins and 1,119 losses (.589 win pct).

History
The first basketball team on Utah State's campus was organized in 1902 and consisted of only women. A men's team was organized in 1904, at which point the women's club fell into obscurity.

The Aggies enjoyed mixed success early in their history, notching sporadic NCAA tournament appearances and alternating winning in the then-smaller postseason bracket with not winning much at all. Perhaps the most notable event in Utah State basketball history occurred on February 8, 1965, with the tragic death of Wayne Estes. Estes was a 6'6" forward for the Aggies, and was the nation's second leading scorer in 1965, behind only Rick Barry, at 33.7 ppg. He had just amassed 2,000 career points with a 48-point showing in a home victory over the University of Denver, when he stopped at the scene of a car accident in Logan. While crossing the street, Estes accidentally clipped a downed power line with his head and was electrocuted. The Los Angeles Lakers had planned on drafting him in the 1st round of the NBA draft, where he likely would have gone on to win several championships with the team. Following Estes's death, he was posthumously awarded 1st team All-American honors.

The men's basketball team wasn't adversely affected by the constant shuffling of conference affiliations and independent status that blighted the USU football program throughout the mid-to-late 20th century. The program, however, did endure a lengthy stint as an independent program, from 1937 to 1978—although in that period, basketball independence was not the financial and competitive obstacle that it would become in the ESPN era. All the while, it remained the most resilient and popular sport at USU, enjoying steady success for decades. During the 1960s and '70s, the Aggies spent a great deal of time in both major national polls, finishing the season in the AP Top 25 three times and in the Coaches' Poll Top 25 seven times during those two decades. USU reached the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1962, and the Elite 8 in 1970.

The Aggies enjoy a particularly strong home-court advantage at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, where they were 193–13 in the Morrill era.

During the 2008–09 season, USU led the nation in field goal percentage with 49.8%. In addition, they were 2nd in win/loss percentage and 5th in assist-to-turnover ratio. In 2009–10, the Aggies led the nation in 3-point percentage with an incredible 42.5%. The Aggies have spent time in the national rankings, reaching as high as #19 in the Coaches' Poll in 2003–04, and #17 in 2008–09. During the 2009–2010, the Aggies reached as high as #26, one spot out of the actual rankings, before falling back to #31 for the postseason poll. The Aggies finished the season in 2011 ranked #19 in the AP poll.  In 2019, although not ranked in the preseason poll, the Aggies finished the season again ranked in the AP poll, coming in at #25. 2020, saw the Aggies ranked #17 in the preseason poll.

Utah State has also won the Old Oquirrh Bucket nine times, including both of the last two seasons. The Bucket is the award given each year to the best college basketball team in Utah, based on records against in-state opponents.

Post season history

NCAA tournament
Utah State is 6–24 (.207) in its NCAA tournament history. In recent years, the team has won invitations to the tournament in 1998 (under coach Larry Eustachy), 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010 (all under Morrill).  From 1978 to 2005, Utah State was a member of the Big West Conference.  In both 2006 and 2010, the Aggies received at-large bids to the tournament after losing in the WAC tournament championship game. Despite a stellar season in 2003–04 and a national top-25 ranking toward the end of the season, the Aggies did not receive an at-large tournament bid after being upset in the conference tournament, making them the last top-25 team in college basketball to be snubbed from the tournament.  This decision earned the derision of coach Morrill, as the Aggies held a 25–3 record along with their ranking.

In 2009, USU won the WAC tournament championship game, defeating Nevada in Reno. The team went on to lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Marquette, 58–57. The most recent NCAA tournament success was a first-round upset over fifth-seeded Ohio State University in 2001.

The 2010 team received an at-large bid from the selection committee after losing in the WAC tournament final to New Mexico State. The 12th-seeded Aggies then lost their opening round game to Texas A&M.

The Aggies would have appeared in the 2020 NCAA tournament after being champions of the 2020 Mountain West tournament, however, the NCAA tournament was cancelled amid the 2020 coronavirus outbreak.

NIT
The Aggies have appeared in 10 National Invitation Tournaments, with a combined record of 2–10.

CIT
The Aggies have appeared in one CollegeInsider.com Tournament. Their record is 4–1.

Home-court advantage
Utah State plays its home games at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, a 10,270-seat arena on the Utah State campus. The Aggies are 453–105 (.812) at the Smith Spectrum, which has housed basketball since 1970. Previous to the building of the Spectrum, Utah State's basketball teams played at the George Nelson Fieldhouse on campus. Under head coach Craig Smith, USU is 39–4 (.910) at home. Until a surprising early-season loss in 2009, USU boasted the second-longest home win streak in the nation, behind Kansas.

The Smith Spectrum features seats at court level, extremely-close to the players. The university also reserves an unusually-high percentage of seats, including at court level, for its students. This has aided the USU student section in becoming one of the most notoriously loud and raucous (and clever) in the nation, with major publicity in recent years. Various sources have called the Smith Spectrum among the hardest places in the nation for opposing teams to play.  In the '90s, when his teams were reaching the Final Four and competing at the highest echelons of college basketball, University of Utah coach Rick Majerus called the Smith Spectrum the toughest place in the country for his teams to play. After a February 2010 game at the Smith Spectrum, Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall said "Utah State has 4000 student tickets and they make some type of impression on the visiting team and it's just a party. It is one heck of a party. It's the best I've ever seen. In many, many years I've been at Duke and Kentucky and UConn and Syracuse and it's clearly the best I've ever seen in terms of atmosphere."

An unofficial newsletter entitled "The Refraction" was published before each game day until it was discontinued in 2011.  One student fan, known as "Wild Bill", has also gained much renown as of late for his unique techniques to distract opposing free throw shooters. Other Utah State traditions are their "I believe that we will win!" chant and "Winning team, losing team" chant that mocks the away losing team in the last seconds of a game.

Greengate Power Corporation (Greengate) is a Canadian energy company focused on renewable energy in Alberta. Greengate's focus in the past was in large, utility scale wind projects and has recently developed solar projects.

Summary of activity

Greengate's first project, the 150 megawatt (MW) Halkirk I Wind Project, was completed in 2012. It was central Alberta's first wind project, first wind project approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) and, at the time of construction, the province's largest wind project, located in the County of Paintearth,  east of Stettler. It supplies enough electricity to power approximately 50,000 homes. Unlike most other planned wind energy projects in Alberta, the project connected into Alberta's existing transmission system without any system upgrades while other developers wait for transmission upgrades. The company acquired all of the land needed to build the project, received approval from the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) to connect the project into the transmission grid, utilizing the existing transmission system without the need of major transmission upgrades. Once it was "shovel ready" the project was sold to Capital Power corporation.

Greengate's second project was the Blackspring Ridge I Wind Project, with a total generating capacity of 300 MW, upon completion in 2013, BSR was the largest wind farm in Canada and remains the largest in Alberta. Again Greengate brought this project through all the stages of development and then sold it shovel ready, this time to EDF EN Canada and Enbridge.

The California Public Utilities Commission approved three 20-year power purchase agreements (PPA) for a total of 450 MW in new wind energy generation between Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Greengate's Halkirk I Wind Project LP, Blackspring Ridge IA Wind Project LP and Blackspring Ridge IB Wind Project LP. The PPAs relate to the purchase and sale of renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by the 150 (MW) Halkirk I project and 300 MW Blackspring Ridge I Wind Project. This is the third-largest wind energy transaction ever executed by a California utility.

Greengate closed a $10.8 million private placement financing to be funded in two tranches, with the first raising gross proceeds of $5.8 million in September 2010 and the balance upon future milestones, which are likely to be achieved in March 2011.

The follicular cyst of the ovary is a type of functional simple cyst, and is the most common type of ovarian cyst.

Signs and symptoms
Its rupture can create sharp, severe pain on the side of the ovary on which the cyst appears.  This sharp pain (sometimes called mittelschmerz) occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, during ovulation.  About a fourth of women with this type of cyst experience pain.Usually, these cysts produce no symptoms and disappear by themselves within a few months.

Pathophysiology
This type can form when ovulation doesn't occur, and a follicle doesn't rupture or release its egg but instead grows until it becomes a cyst, or when a mature follicle involutes (collapses on itself).  It usually forms during ovulation, and can grow to about 7 cm in diameter.  It is thin-walled, lined by one or more layers of granulosa cell, and filled with clear fluid.

Diagnosis
Ultrasound is the primary tool used to document the follicular cyst.  A doctor monitors these to make sure they disappear, and looks at treatment options if they do not.

"Das Boot" () is the title theme to the film and TV series Das Boot, composed and produced by Klaus Doldinger, and released as a single in 1981. In 1991, the song was covered by German DJ and producer Alex Christensen and his dance music project U96. This techno version was U96's debut single, released by Polydor from the album of the same name (1992).

On the German Singles Chart, the U96 version of "Das Boot" spent 13 weeks at number one in early 1992. It also became a number-one hit in Austria, Israel, Norway and Switzerland and entered the top 10 in Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands and Sweden. In the UK, it peaked at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was the subject of many remixes throughout the years.

Critical reception
Ian Gittins from Melody Maker complimented the song as a "portentous novelty house hit", "complete with marine sound effects, submarine noises and the legendary lyric Techno, techno". He concluded, "Compelling and absurdly addictive." Pan-European magazine Music & Media remarked, "With no significant airplay, this techno version of the theme to the movie Das Boot is number one for the second consecutive week in Germany. It's like Kraftwerk on acid, or plain Front 242." James Hamilton from Music Weeks RM Dance Update wrote, "This Hamburg based DJ's vocoder produced and Asdic pinged techno treatment of Klaus Doldinger's original theme is in basic chugging 0-122.9bpm Techno (with beat losing edits midway), far fiercer smoothly thrumming electro 0-127.1bpm Strings 127, Accordian, Echo Mix, 127 BPM and — fiercest of all — 0-130.9bpm 131 BPM versions. Dive! Dive! Dive!"

Chart performance
"Das Boot" peaked at number one in Germany, Norway and Switzerland. In Germany, it spent 13 weeks atop the chart. The single also entered the top 10 in Belgium (7), Denmark (3), Finland (9), France (9), the Netherlands (3) and Sweden (5), as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it reached number three in May 1992, after 17 weeks within the chart. Additionally, "Das Boot" peaked within the top 20 in Ireland (19) and the United Kingdom. In the latter, it debuted at number 37, and peaked at number 18 in its third week on the UK Singles Chart, on 6 September 1992. Outside Europe, the single was a huge hit in Israel, where it peaked at number-one in April 1992.

"Das Boot" was awarded with a gold record in Austria, with a sale of 25,000 singles.

Music video
The accompanying music video for "Das Boot" was directed by Peter Claridge. It used footage from the 1981 German submarine film Das Boot, directed by Wolfgang Petersen. When the song peaked at number one in Germany, the video had not yet been produced.

Leopoldo Máximo Falicov (June 24, 1933 – January 24, 1995) was an Argentine theoretical physicist, specializing in the theory of condensed matter physics.

Life
Falicov was born in Buenos Aires with both parents of Eastern European Jewish origin. His father, Isaías Félix Falicov, was Argentine and his mother, Dora Samoilovich, emigrated to Argentina as a child.

Falicov attended the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires and then attended the School of Engineering and Natural Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). In 1955 he entered the recently created Institute of Physics, later known, after 1962, as the Balseiro Institute and received his Bachelor's Degree in Physics in May 1958 as a member of the first class of Physicists. Meanwhile, in 1957, he received a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from the UBA.

Simultaneously, he was working on his doctoral thesis at the Bariloche Institute of Physics under the direction of José Antonio Balseiro on the subject "Photon packets: their classification, dispersion and formation" which he defended in August 1958, 3 months after finishing his undergraduate degree. It was the first doctoral thesis at the Balseiro Institute.

He continued in 1959 with a scholarship from the British Council at Cambridge University England where he completed a second doctorate under the direction of Professor Volker Heine on the subject "The structure of metal bands", with a defense date of December 8, 1960. He then became a professor at the University of Chicago.

In 1959 he married Marta Puebla whom made his famous Magnesium Fermi Surface in his post doctoral thesis.

In 1969, he moved to Berkeley to work at University of California, Berkeley, heading the department from 1981 to 1983.

Falicov was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters and the Academia Nacional de Ciencias Exactas, Fisicas y Naturales. He was a fellow of the American Physical Society, the  Institute of Physics and the Third World Academy of Sciences.

Honours
A library, Biblioteca Leo Falicov, at the Balseiro Institute is named after him.

A corpus luteum cyst is a type of ovarian cyst which may rupture about the time of menstruation, and take up to three months to disappear entirely. A corpus luteum cyst rarely occurs in women over the age of 50, because eggs are no longer being released after menopause. Corpus luteum cysts may contain blood and other fluids. The physical shape of a corpus luteum cyst may appear as an enlargement of the ovary itself,  rather than a distinct mass -like growth on the surface of the ovary.

Signs and symptoms
Corpus luteum cysts are a normal part of the menstrual cycle. They can, however, grow to almost 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter and have the potential to bleed into themselves or twist the ovary, causing pelvic or abdominal pain.  It is possible the cyst may rupture, causing internal bleeding and pain. This pain typically disappears within a few days of the rupture. If the corpus luteum becomes large it may cause ovarian torsion, where the ovary twists and blood flow is cut off. Ovarian torsion is rare and is accompanied by severe pain.

Pathophysiology

This type of functional cyst occurs after an egg has been released from a follicle.  The follicle then becomes a secretory gland that is known as the corpus luteum.   The ruptured follicle begins producing large quantities of estrogen and progesterone in preparation for conception.  If a pregnancy doesn't occur, the corpus luteum usually breaks down and disappears.  It may, however, fill with fluid or blood, causing the corpus luteum to expand into a cyst, and stay in the ovary.  Usually, this cyst is on only one side, and does not produce any symptoms.

In women of reproductive age cysts with a diameter of less than 5 cm are common, clinically inconsequential, and almost always a physiological condition rather than a cancer or other disease condition. In postmenopausal women the threshold for concern is 1 cm. Although ovarian cancer may be cystic, it does not arise from benign corpus luteum cysts. Medical specialty professional organizations recommend no follow-up imaging for cysts which are considered clinically inconsequential.

A ruptured corpus luteum can cause hemoperitoneum with abdominal pain, and is a common condition in women of reproductive age. It may be confused with ectopic pregnancy.

Interaction with medication
The fertility drug clomiphene citrate (Clomid, Serophene), used to induce ovulation, increases the risk of a corpus luteum cyst developing after ovulation. These cysts do not prevent or threaten a resulting pregnancy.  Women on birth control pills usually do not form these cysts; in fact, preventing these cysts is one way birth control pills work.
In contrast, the progesterone-only pill can cause increased frequency of these cysts.

Gayle Ruzicka (born c. 1943) is a conservative political activist, talk radio host, and leader in the Utah Eagle Forum.

Biography

Ruzicka was born in California to a father who was a labor union president active in the Democratic Party. Ruzicka has stated that her family, particularly her mother, were all active in politics at a grass-roots level.  She is the mother of 12 children, grandmother of 20, and an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mrs. Ruzicka and her husband, Don Ruzicka, live in Highland, Utah.

Political life

Ruzicka was involved in politics in a minor way while raising her children, opposing the Equal Rights Amendment while living in Idaho, and later worked to oppose the 1988 impeachment of Arizona governor Evan Mecham. Ruzicka moved to Utah with her husband and children in 1989. In 1991, she was designated president of the Utah Eagle Forum, the Utah Chapter of the Eagle Forum.

Ruzicka is claimed to be one of the most influential individuals in Utah's political scene and is famous for her phone tree, used to promote her political agenda. In 2004, she was part of the Utah delegation to the Republican National Convention.  Additionally, Ruzicka hosts "The Gayle Ruzicka Show" a weekly radio show on KTKK "K-TALK" 630 AM addressing conservative political issues in Utah.

Ruzicka's power and her positions on a variety of conservative and social issues including homosexuality have caused controversy.

Political activities

In 2000, Ruzicka was involved with her daughter Kendra's attempt to form a chapter of the Eagle Forum Collegians on the campus of Utah Valley State College (now known as Utah Valley University). Matthew Hilton, the Utah Eagle Forum's attorney, argued that by following the college's non-discrimination policy, the Eagle Forum Collegians would have their First Amendment rights subverted.

In 2001, she criticized the Salt Lake City Weekly for publishing "same-sex" personal ads and other material that she deemed "distasteful." She unsuccessfully campaigned to have the publication removed from public buildings.

During the 2007 Utah legislative session, Ruzicka led the Utah Eagle Forum in the fight to oppose House Bill 358, which appropriated $1 million for the Utah Department of Health to promote the availability of a cervical cancer vaccine.

In 2012, Gayle Ruzicka acted as a prominent proponent of HB 363, a Utah State house bill that would prohibit public schools from teaching students about sex. This bill would give schools the option to either teach abstinence only or not provide sex education at all. This bill was met with opposition by some Utahns. Opponents of the bill organized an online petition which received more than 40,000 signatures. The bill was vetoed by Gov. Herbert.

He was promoted from his assistant's job to replace Bill Bayno, who resigned due to illness after three games into the 2008–09 season, his first and only season with the Lions.  Good also replaced Bayno for the 2000–01 season at UNLV after Bayno was dismissed as head coach.

Prior to arriving at Loyola Marymount, Good spent seven seasons as the head coach at Bryant University,  where he led the Bulldogs to five-straight NCAA Division II Sweet 16 finishes, as well as an NCAA Division II Championship runner-up finish in 2004–05.

After leading the Lions to an 18–15 overall record (9–7 in conference), Good was named West Coast Conference Coach of the Year for 2009-10 season by Collegeinsider.com.  The 18 wins were the most by Loyola Marymount since 1996. The 15-game turnaround from last season's 3–24 campaign was the second-largest in the nation, as well as the second-largest turnaround in LMU history.

On March 17, 2010, Good led the Lions against the University of the Pacific Tigers at LMU's Gersten Pavilion. This was the Lions' first post-season tournament under Good and its first since 1990.

Prior to joining the Lions as an assistant, Good led Bryant University to a 132–86 record in seven seasons. In his last year at Bryant, the Bulldogs earned an NCAA Division II Tournament berth for the fifth consecutive year. When Good was named head coach at Bryant in 2001, he inherited a program that had four straight losing seasons. He posted a 17–14 record in his second season and Bryant was named Most Improved team by the New England Basketball Coaches. By 2004 season, Good lead the Bulldogs to 23 wins, earning the school's first NCAA tournament berth in 24 years. They advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. In his fourth year, Good led Bryant to a 25–9 record. They played in NCAA Division II Championship, falling to Virginia Union in the title game, 63–58.

Good came to Bryant after spending the 2000–01 season as the interim head coach at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). He posted a record of 13–9 in his one season with the Runnin' Rebels. He joined the UNLV staff in 1999–00 as an assistant.

Prior to joining the UNLV staff, Good served as the head coach at Maine Central Institute (MCI) for 10 seasons (1989–1999). He compiled a 275–30 (.902) record over that span. MCI was five times the New England Prep School Athletic Conference champion during his tenure. MCI captured back-to-back conference championships (1997–1999). They were 69–4 over those two years (35–0 and 34–4). Good's MCI teams went undefeated three times (26–0 in 1989–90, 24–0 in 1990–91, and 35–0 in 1997–98). From 1989 to 1992, Maine Central Institute compiled 79 straight victories. His 1992 squad was 29–1.

His coaching background includes five seasons as the assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky (1976–1981). He replaced Ed Bhyre as head coach in 1981 and served through 1989. His overall record at EKU was 96–129 (.427). He carded a 19–11 record in 1987 and was named the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year. In 1988, the Colonels went 18-11.

Good began his coaching career at Madison High School in Richmond, Kentucky in 1970. He served as the junior varsity coach for three seasons (1970–1973) and then served three seasons (1973–7196) as the head coach. His 1975 team finished 23–6 and was ranked as a top ten team in Kentucky by the Associated Press.

Andrew Kirkpatrick is a British mountaineer, author, motivational speaker and monologist. He is best known as a big wall climber, having scaled Yosemite's El Capitan over 30 times, including five solo ascents, and two one-day ascents, as well as climbing in Patagonia, Alaska, Antarctica and the Alps.  He has also crossed Greenland by ski. In 2014 he guided Alex Jones up Moonlight Buttress, Zion National Park, raising £1.9 million for Sport Relief.

Film, TV and radio
Kirkpatrick has worked in film and TV as a safety advisor and stunt rigger, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as in programmes for CBBC, ITN, BBC and BBC Scotland. The BBC programme "The Big Climb" about his ascent of El Capitan with his 13-year-old daughter Ella won multiple awards. In 2014, he guided the TV presenter Alex Jones up the Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park to raise money for Sports Relief, raising £1.9 million. In 2014, Kirkpatrick gave a fifteen-minute talk on BBC Radio 4 in its Four Thought slot on the subject of the importance of risky play for children. In January 2015, he followed the route of the heroes of telemark on the Hardangervidda by ski with his two children for a BBC film on risky play.

Writing
Kirkpatrick's dyslexia is well documented, and these struggles form part of his first book, Psychovertical.

Kirkpatrick is only the third person to win the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature twice (Paul Pritchard and Jim Perrin being the other authors to win twice). His first win was with his first book, Psychovertical in 2008 and his second with his book, Cold Wars: Climbing the fine line between risk and reality.

Psychovertical has been translated into German (published in 2010 as Psychovertikal by AS Verlag), Polish, Italian and Korean. The Italian version was published in 2011 as Psychovertical by Edizioni Versante Sud and in 2012 won the literary prize Gambrinus "Giuseppe Mazzotti". It is also published in French.

Nicotiana quadrivalvis is a species of wild tobacco known as Indian tobacco. It is endemic to the western United States, where it grows in many types of habitat. It is a bushy, sprawling annual herb growing up to two meters in maximum height. The lower leaf blades are up to  long and are borne on short petioles, the upper smaller and sessile on the stem. The inflorescence is an array of several white, greenish, or purple-tinged flowers with tubular throats up to 5 centimeters long. The base of each is enclosed in a ridged calyx of sepals. The flower face may be  wide. The fruit is a capsule up to  in length.

Native Americans also called it "sacred tobacco," and Nicotiana rustica can also be considered sacred.

Cultivation
Nicotiana quadrivalvis has traditionally been cultivated by indigenous peoples living on the west coast of the United States, primarily in particular southern Oregon and northern California, and along the middle Columbia River. Individually owned plots of tobacco plants were seeded with the previous year's seed capsules, tilled and weeded and fertilized in the fall by mixing in rotten wood after the harvest. The species was first described from the upper Missouri River where it was cultivated by the Mandan and Arikara.

Further north, the Haida, Tlingit, and probably Tsimshian cultivated a related but now extinct variety of tobacco, Nicotiana quadrivalvis var. multivalvis, in a similar manner. The original seeds must have been acquired from afar, as tobacco was not native to the northern Northwest Coast. Myths reflecting this describe the supernatural original acquisition of the seeds.

Jean-Claude Milner (; born 3 January 1941) is a linguist, philosopher and essayist. His specialist fields of endeavour are linguistics (which he studied with Roland Barthes) and psychoanalysis (through the teaching and friendship of Jacques Lacan). In 1971, Milner was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he translated Noam Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax into French. His work helped to establish the terminology of theory of syntax in the French school of generative grammar. Milner is now a professor at the University Paris Diderot and lives in Paris.

Life and work
Milner, who was born in Paris, is the son of a Lithuanian immigrant Jewish father and an Alsatian mother of the Protestant faith.
After studies in a second year preparatory class for the humanities during high school, Milner studied at both École Normale Supérieure and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His education was shaped by the thought and teaching of Louis Althusser and Jacques Lacan. Lacan's influence may also be tied to his friendship with Jacques-Alain Miller during these early years. Miller became, subsequently, the son-in-law of Lacan. Both Miller and Milner attended Lacan's seminars held at the ENS and their friendship was instrumental in the founding and direction of the Cahiers pour l’Analyse several years later.

From 1968 to 1971, Milner was affiliated with the Maoist movement of the proletarian Left and discovered the path of his own political evolution. Milner seems to have disavowed, or moved away from, these early affiliations. Alain Badiou, who has remained steadfast in his Maoist affiliations, has engaged in a long-standing contretemps with Milner over these changing affiliations (and many other differences, including accusing Badiou of Anti-Semitism). Milner also received training and education from Roland Barthes and made a close reading of Roman Jakobson.

After his initial association with Chomsky's linguistic theories, Milner's work took a different turn. He published Introduction to a Science of Language (1989) which melds a general linguistics theory, that rests on a radical separation between sense and syntax (theory of syntactic positions) together with an epistemology that combines concepts of Karl Popper and Imre Lakatos. This work tackles a key epistemological problem of the scientific status of Lacan's theories. Milner also follows developments of Chomskyian theory though he does not adhere to the hypothesis of a biological justification for it which Chomsky defended.

Milner's later work, such as the English publication of For the Love of Language, has been called,
"a path-breaking reflection on the consequences of Lacan's theory for the study of language".

Since 2000, particularly in France, Milner has been recognised for his essays concerning anti-Semitism in European history and culture. For several years, he has held a seminar devoted to this theme at the Institut d’études levinassiennes in Paris.

In 2010, Milner became Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at the Université de Paris VII.

Mirra Komarovsky (February 5, 1905 – January 30, 1999), was an American pioneer in the sociology of gender.

Early years
Born to Mendel and Anna Komarovsky  (née Steinberg) in a privileged Jewish family in the Russian Empire, her family fled the country after the 1917 Russian Revolution. Komarovsky's parents were Zionists and landowning Jews in Akkerman, Russia, until tsarist police drove them from their home. They moved initially to Baku (in what is now Azerbaijan) and then to Wichita, Kansas after the Bolshevik Revolution, when Mirra was 16. In Baku, Komarovsky lived a solidly middle-class lifestyle; she was homeschooled by private tutors and learned Russian, English, Hebrew, and French, as well as playing the piano.

Life in the United States
Once in the United States, she graduated from Wichita High School within a year and in 1922, she was admitted to Barnard College as part of the class of 1926. One of her professors, sociologist William Ogburn, advised her not to pursue higher education, largely because of the prescribed gender roles and anti-semitism at the time. Nonetheless, she earned her master's degree from Columbia University and proceeded to earn her Ph.D.

Komarovsky as a sociologist
Komarovsky's dissertation topic, which she stumbled upon in 1935 through a research position with mathematician Paul Lazarsfeld at the New York Institute for Social Research, was “The Unemployed Man and His Family." She earned her Ph.D. in Sociology in 1940 from Columbia University because of this work. Later published as a book, The Unemployed Man was an intensive study of fifty-nine families in the qualitative sociological method.

Komarovsky built her legacy on researching the social and cultural attitudes of families. Much of her work focused on the idea of “cultural lag,” in which the cultural attitudes surrounding women generally lag behind technological and social advances. Throughout the rest of her career, she continued to study the role of women and the outlooks of society towards those roles. She became one of the first social scientists to look critically at gender and the role of women in society.

Professor Komarovsky retired in 1970 after 32 years on the faculty of Barnard College. But she returned to Barnard in 1978 and became the chairwoman of its women's studies program until 1992

In 1973 and 1974, she became the second woman after Dorothy Swaine Thomas to be president of the American Sociological Association. Her research during the 1980s tracked many of the changes taking place in the consciousness of young women and their life choices in response to the feminist movement.

Personal life
In 1940, she married Marcus A. Heyman. She died at New York City on January 30, 1999.

The 392nd (Croatian) Infantry Division (, ) was a so-called "legionnaire" division of the German Army during World War II. It was formed in August 1943 using Croatian Home Guard soldiers with a German cadre. The division was commanded by Germans down to battalion and even company level in nearly all cases. Originally formed with the intention of service on the Eastern Front, this did not eventuate, and the division was used in anti-Partisan operations in the territory of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) until the end of the war. It was commonly known as the Blue Division.

History

Formation
After the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Ante Pavelić, the leader of the newly created Axis puppet state the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), offered Adolf Hitler volunteers to serve on the Eastern Front. This offer soon resulted in the formation and deployment of army, air force and naval detachments which, after being trained and equipped by Germany, were committed to fighting the Red Army. The largest element was the 369th Croatian Reinforced Infantry Regiment, which was part of the 100th Jäger Division, but was decimated at Stalingrad in January 1943. The Croatian forces performed creditably on the Eastern Front, and the Germans continued to support the development of NDH forces with the aim of raising several divisions to serve there. Due to the lack of trained leaders and staff, these divisions were raised using a German cadre.

Commencing on 17 August 1943, the 392nd (Croatian) Infantry Division was assembled and trained in Austria as the third and last Croatian division raised for service in the Wehrmacht, following its sister divisions the 369th (Croatian) Infantry Division and 373rd (Croatian) Infantry Division. One infantry regiment and the divisional artillery regiment were formed in Döllersheim, the other infantry regiment in Zwettl, the signals battalion in Stockerau and the pioneer battalion in Krems. It was built around 3,500 German cadre troops, and 8,500 soldiers of the Croatian Home Guard, the regular army of the NDH. It was formed under the command of Generalmajor Johann Mickl who remained its commander until the last weeks of the war. Mickl was an Austrian who had served under Erwin Rommel in France and North Africa, where he had been awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. He had also commanded the 11th Panzer Division on the Eastern Front, where he had received the Oak Leaves to his Knight's Cross. The division wore Wehrmacht uniform with the coat-of-arms of the NDH on the right sleeve. Although originally intended for use on the Eastern Front, not long after its formation the Germans decided that the division would not be utilised outside the NDH. The division was deployed to the NDH in January 1944 to combat the Partisans in the territory of the puppet state. It was known as the "Blue Division" (, ).

Anti-Partisan operations

Initial deployment
The first task of the division after its arrival in the western part of the NDH was to secure the Adriatic coastline along the Croatian Littoral between Rijeka and Karlobag (including all islands except Krk) and about  inland, and was a critical task due to German fears of an Anglo-American landing on the Adriatic coast. This operation included securing the crucial supply route between Karlovac and Senj. These areas had been largely dominated by the Partisans since the Italian capitulation in autumn 1943, in particular the port of Senj. The division was placed under the command of the XV Mountain Corps as part of the 2nd Panzer Army, and was initially headquartered in Karlovac. The division also took over responsibility for the security of the Zagreb-Karlovac railway line from the 1st Cossack Division. The division was engaged by the Partisans from the first night in their garrison areas. Before the division had completed its initial deployment, it was called upon to relieve the NDH garrison of Ogulin. This involved a drive southwest from Karlovac between 13 and 16 January 1944 initially led by the 847th Infantry Regiment. In the first engagements with Partisan units, the Croatian soldiers panicked and their German leaders were quickly wounded or killed. When the bodies of those that had been killed were recovered, they were often found stripped of equipment and some were even found naked. On 16 January, Ogulin was relieved, but the advance was continued south to Skradnik, and villages in that area were also secured.

Operational history
This was followed by Operation Drežnica, a push through to the coast, forcing passes through the Velika Kapela mountain range, part of the Dinaric Alps. Both passes were more than  above sea level and the snow was often knee or thigh-deep. Delayed by mines and roadblocks, the division captured the Kapela and Vratnik passes with minimal casualties. This was followed by a series of engagements along the road to the coast, and after some close quarter fighting with the Partisan 13th Assault Division, they captured and destroyed most of that division's supply dump northwest of Lokve and secured Senj. The 847th Infantry Regiment was then allocated the task of securing the coastline and the 846th Infantry Regiment was directed to secure the divisional main supply route from Senj to Generalski Stol. They started improved bases along the road, including Italian forts that had been established in the Kapela and Vratnik passes. The 847th Infantry Regiment spread out along the coastline between Karlobag and Crikvenica, and supported by elements of the divisional artillery and pioneers they began building fortifications against a feared Allied invasion. The troops in Karlobag linked up with the 264th Infantry Division which was responsible for the coast further to the southeast. The supply situation quickly became difficult due to Partisan interdiction of the route from Karlovac and Allied bombing of coastal shipping and Senj harbour. In late February or early March the 847th Regiment, supported by an Ustaše battalion, advanced on Plaški (south of Ogulin) when they were stopped by deep snow. Partisans then attacked their supply lines, killing 30 soldiers. Some of the bodies of the dead soldiers were looted or mutilated. After Plaški was captured, the Ustaše battalion independently pursued the Partisans and returned to Plaški with many of the looted items.

In March, the 847th Regiment occupied the Adriatic islands of Rab and Pag without encountering any Partisan resistance. In the same month, the 846th Regiment conducted an operation in the Gacka river valley around Otočac, and assisted the Croatian Home Guard in enforcing conscription orders on their own population in the divisional area. Through the spring of 1944, the 846th Regiment used jadgkommandos, lightly armed and mobile "hunter teams" of company or battalion strength, to conduct follow-up of sightings of Partisans, and transport moving through the Kapela Pass had to travel in convoy for security. The division was able to restore a land connection with the NDH garrison of Gospić which had been reliant on supply from the sea since the Italian surrender, and drove three Partisan battalions out of the outskirts of Otočac. One of the difficulties faced by the division in fighting in the mountains was the lack of mountain artillery which could accompany the battalions in the field. The divisional artillery was equipped with field howitzers with a range of  which seriously limited the artillery cover that could be provided during mobile operations.

In April 1944, Mickl was promoted to Generalleutnant. The Germans identified that the Partisan 13th Assault Division was using the Drežnica valley as a huge armoury, hiding captured Italian arms and ammunition in villages, basements, and even in fake graves in cemeteries. This was of major concern if the feared Allied landing eventuated. In mid-April, Mickl ordered Operation Keulenschlag (Mace Blow) to clear the area, using the 846th Infantry Regiment and parts of the 847th Infantry Regiment, supported by the divisional artillery and flak battalion. Over the next two weeks, the division pushed the 13th Assault Division north to the area of Mrkopalj and Delnice, and captured sufficient material to equip two divisions, including  of small arms ammunition and  of artillery ammunition.

On 5 May, the Partisan 35th Lika Division attacked from the Plitvice Lakes area and captured the village of Ramljane. Partisans also interdicted the Otočac-Gospić road. In response, Mickl planned Operation Morgenstern (Morning Star) to clear Partisan forces from the Krbavsko Polje region around Udbina. From 7 to 16 May 1944, along with elements of the 373rd (Croatian) Infantry Division, the 92nd Motorised Regiment, a battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Brandenburg Division, and Ustaše units, the division was involved in Operation Morgenstern. According to German sources, Operation Morgenstern resulted in significant Partisan losses, including 438 killed, 56 captured, and 18 defectors, as well as capturing weapons, ammunition, vehicles, animals and large amounts of equipment. Also in May, the division received 500 German reinforcements, and formed a field replacement battalion. The division saw action against the Partisans until the end of the war, often fighting alongside a grouping of Ustaše units that numbered up to 12,000 troops.

Final months
During the last few months of the war, the division was engaged in the defence of the northern Adriatic coast and Lika. Mickl was shot in the head by Partisans near Senj on 9 April 1945, and died in hospital in Rijeka the following day. The task of the division was to fight the Partisan 4th Army advancing from the south-east, and to support the LXXXXVII Army Corps, consisting of the 188th Mountain Division and 237th Infantry Divisions, which were in danger of being enveloped near Rijeka. The division arrived in the area of Rijeka in mid-April 1945 after it suffered losses in the Lika-Primorje operation. However, by April 1945 the Croatian manpower of the division had been significantly reduced due to desertions or release. Around this time, about 3,000 Croats were released, leaving a small number of Croats remaining with the division.

Some of the released Croats apparently succeeded in travelling to the Slovene Littoral in the closing days of the war. They were then organised as a separate unit of the largely illusory remnant of the Armed Forces of the Independent State of Croatia under the command of General Matija Parac, which was formally part of General Draža Mihailović's Chetniks. The unit was under the direct command of General Miodrag Damjanović. Later the unit retreated to British-occupied northern Italy.

The division, including its few remaining Croats were ordered to move north towards Klagenfurt in Austria. Some of the remaining Croat members of the division were killed while the LXXXXVII Army Corps attempted to push through, but the formation lacked the strength to achieve its objective. As a result, on 5 May 1945, Generaloberst Alexander Löhr, Commander-in-chief Southeast Europe, authorised the LXXXXVII Army Corps, including the 392nd Division, to surrender. The Partisans accepted the German surrender on 7 May in the area between Rijeka and Ilirska Bistrica, at which time all the remaining Croats and some Italian fascist troops still fighting alongside the Germans within the Corps were released. For several days the disarmed German troops of the Corps were allowed to travel towards Germany, but on 12 May the Partisans decided to make them prisoners of war.

Order of battle
The division included the following principal units:
 846th Infantry Regiment (I, II, III battalions)
 847th Infantry Regiment (I, II, III battalions)
 392nd Reconnaissance Battalion
 392nd Panzerjäger (Anti-tank) Battalion
 392nd Artillery Regiment (I, II battalions)
 392nd Pioneer Battalion
 392nd Signals Battalion

Postscript
On 3 April 2009, the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights announced that mass graves containing the remains of approximately 4,500 members of the division had been discovered near Zaprešić. Locals indicated that the Partisan 21st Serbian Division was responsible for the massacre.

Clendinning Creek is a river in British Columbia.  It is the largest tributary of the Elaho River.  It is located entirely within Clendinning Provincial Park.

Clendinning Creek is one of two popular whitewater kayak multi day trips in South West BC. Paddlers fly out of Green Lake in Whistler, it is usually a 2-day trip or can be combined with Fear Canyon on the Elaho to make a 3 days trip.

Course

Clendinning Creek originates at the outlet of remote Clendinning Lake.  It kicks off by briefly flowing northeast for about 1.4 km before turning southeast and flowing that way for about 26.2 km until it reaches the Elaho River.

Tributaries

Clendinning Creek's only major (officially named) tributaries are Wave Creek and Jacobson Creek.  Wave Creek enters the river where it turns from northeast to southeast, about 1.4 below the outlet of Clendinning Lake.  Jacobson Creek enters the river about 1.7 miles above its confluence with the Elaho.

The South Carolina Law Review is a student-edited law review that was established in 1937. It covers South Carolina law and commentary on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. It also publishes the winning essays from the Warren E. Burger Writing Competition, which is sponsored by the American Inns of Court Foundation. In 2008 the journal began to experiment with peer review.

History
The journal was originally published as the Year Book of the Selden Society, then as the South Carolina Law Quarterly, before getting its current title.

Peer review initiatives
During the summer of 2008, the South Carolina Law Review began its Peer Review Pilot Program and an effort is being made to expand the peer review concept to other student-edited law journals across the United States, using the "Peer-Reviewed Scholarship Marketplace.

Surveys
The South Carolina Law Review launched an initiative, modeled after Harvard Law Review Supreme Court Survey, to comment on cases reported from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, covering Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The first survey, published in Volume 60, Book 5, includes six significant cases from the Fourth Circuit. Another survey, the South Carolina Survey consists of notes and comments on timely topics pertaining to South Carolina law that are written by the second year student-members.

Allen B. Kanavel (1874, Sedgwick, Kansas – 1938 Pasadena, California) was an American surgeon remembered for describing Kanavel's sign. He graduated from the Northwestern University School of Medicine in 1899. He spent six months in Vienna, then spent his career at Cook County Hospital and the department of surgery at Northwestern University School of Medicine. He became professor of surgery at Northwestern in 1919, and was associate editor and later editor of the Journal of Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics. In 1920 he established the Department of Neurological Surgery at Northwestern University and was named Chairman of the department. He worked with the United States Army during the First World War, both in the Surgeon General's office in Washington, DC and in France in 1918 as assistant to the Chief Consultant in surgery of the American Expeditionary Force. His interest was infections of the hand, and his 1912 monograph on the subject was considered a milestone in hand surgery.

Dr. Kanavel died in 1938 in Pasadena, California in a tragic car accident. His adopted sons Richard and David were also in the car, but escaped relatively unharmed. They were on their way to go fishing.

Un amore perfetto is a 2002 Italian romantic comedy film  directed by Valerio Andrei.  It stars Cesare Cremonini, who at the time of the film's release was the lead singer of the popular Italian music group Lùnapop; Martina Stella, then an emerging star following her debut performance in the 2001 film L'ultimo bacio; and Denis Fasolo.

Plot
Ceghe (Cremonini) and Berni (Fasolo) are close friends who are both uneasily transitioning into their adult lives.  They meet Laura (Stella) one evening at a nightclub, and the three rapidly become a close group who share "a perfect love."  However, romantic impulses between Laura and each of the two men eventually threaten to tear the old friends apart.

As this scenario unfolds, Ceghe becomes aware of a lucrative opportunity to sell a valuable item possessed by guests of the hotel run by his parents.  The circumstances and risks of the opportunity are unclear, but Ceghe becomes increasingly determined to make a fortune by stealing and selling the item.

Jonathon Gary Frank Mirasty (born June 4, 1982) is a Cree native Canadian ice hockey player who has played in multiple professional leagues including the WHL, KHL, and AHL. Nicknamed "Nasty" by both teammates and fans, Mirasty developed a cult following throughout his career due to his Mohawk hairstyle and his laughing during his fights. Mirasty finished the 2010-11 regular season with the Fort Wayne Komets. However, he was left off the playoff roster. Mirasty, who weighs 220 pounds and stands five-foot-ten, had originally planned on retiring from hockey in 2006. After playing low-level pro-hockey, Mirasty was soon given a chance to play for the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL, a minor-league affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he appeared in a number of NHL exhibition games while continuing to compete for the minor league team.  Mirasty currently plays for Binghamton Black Bears of the FPHL.

He made his acting debut as a hockey player in the television series Shoresy.

MMA
Mirasty made his professional MMA debut against Sebastian Gauthier, losing in the first round. In his youth Mirasty competed in boxing and was provincial and golden gloves champion in 1998 and 1999.

Personal life
Mirasty, a Cree Indian, is a distant cousin of teammate Jeremy Yablonski. Mirasty is married to Janessa Mirasty and has two children, older son Tristan and younger daughter Ava.

When not playing hockey, or coaching his son, Mirasty spends time breaking and training horses on his ranch in Meadow Lake.

After playing over nine seasons professionally, Mirasty saw a future in business and opened up his town's first Tim Hortons within a 90-mile radius. However, four months into the operation Mirasty and his family were forced to sell due to personal health problems Mirasty was facing.
