The 1984 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations and writers that chose College Football All-America Teams in 1984. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) recognizes five selectors as "official" for the 1984 season. They are: (1) the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA); (2) the Associated Press (AP) selected based on the votes of sports writers at AP newspapers; (3) the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA); (4) the United Press International (UPI) selected based on the votes of sports writers at UPI newspapers; and (5) the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WC).  Other selectors included Football News (FN), Gannett News Service (GNS), the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), and The Sporting News (TSN).

CB-13 (CRA13, SAB-378) is a cannabinoid drug, which acts as a potent agonist at both the CB1 and CB2 receptors, but has poor blood–brain barrier penetration, and so produces only peripheral effects at low doses, with symptoms of central effects such as catalepsy only appearing at much higher dose ranges. It has antihyperalgesic properties in animal studies, and has progressed to preliminary human trials.

Legal Status

As of October 2015 CB-13 is a controlled substance in China.

CB-13 is a Schedule I controlled substance in North Dakota.

The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) is a private for-profit health sciences university headquartered in San Marcos, California. It was founded in 1979 as the Institute of Physical Therapy. It has campuses in San Marcos and in St. Augustine, Florida; Miami, Florida; Austin, Texas; and Dallas, Texas.  The university is owned by the private equity firm Altas Partners.

History
The school that ultimately became the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1979 by Stanley V. Paris as the Institute of Physical Therapy. Paris retired from USAHS in 2007.

In 1997, the school officially became "The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences." It purchased a small private hospital and an adjoining 26 acres of land at the Flagler Health Park Campus in St. Augustine, creating its current St. Augustine campus.

In 2007, USAHS expanded to California, opening a campus in San Diego.  The university also completed work on a 98,000-square-foot academic and clinic building at the St. Augustine campus. Two years later, the San Diego campus moved to San Marcos, California.

In 2012, the university opened its third campus, a new location in Austin, Texas. The following year, Laureate International Universities acquired a majority interest in USAHS. Three years later, it opened a campus in Miami, Florida.

Altas Partners, a Canadian long-term private equity firm, purchased USAHS from Laureate in 2019. Shortly thereafter, USAHS opened its fifth location in Dallas, Texas.

Academics
USAHS offers the following degree programs of study:

College of Rehabilitative Sciences
 Doctor of Occupational Therapy
 Master of Occupational Therapy
 Post-Professional Doctor of Occupational Therapy
 Doctor of Physical Therapy
 Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology

 College of Health Sciences

 School of Nursing
 Doctor of Nursing Practice
 Master of Science in Nursing

 Master of Health Administration

USAHS is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission.

In 2017, USAHS opened its first Center for Innovative Clinical Practice on the San Marcos campus.

Notable faculty
USAHS founder Stanley V. Paris was the first president of the Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Faculty member Todd Bourgeois is a three-time national qualifying contestant on the NBC show American Ninja Warrior. Nicknamed the “Cajun Cowboy,” Bourgeois has been competing on the show since 2013.

The Branch MRT line was originally the third Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line in Singapore, initially operated as a branch to the existing East West line. The line was  long with four stations, and was operated by the SMRT Corporation. Travelling from one end of this line to the other end took about ten minutes, and the line was coloured brown and khaki on the rail map. The line is now part of the North South line, making it the only defunct line in Singapore.

The line used to terminate at the centre track at Jurong East (then platforms C/D, now D/E). Trains operated at a six-minute frequency.

History
The line was conceptualized as the Western line during the early planning stages of the Singapore MRT network.

On 7 January 1986, the Taiwanese RSEA International and Hock Lian Seng Joint Venture were awarded the contract for the Branch MRT line stations – Bukit Batok, Bukit Gombak, and Choa Chu Kang.

The line started operations on 10 March 1990, and was named the Branch line, consisting of four stations. The line was subsequently merged into the North South line when the North South line Woodlands Extension opened on 10 February 1996, connecting the existing North South line at Yishun to the Branch line at Choa Chu Kang.
The station codes for Bukit Batok to Choa Chu Kang stations were changed to N23, N22 and N21 respectively, subsequently to their current code on the North South line with the revamp of the system map on 31 July 2001.

was a Japanese visual kei metal band from Tokyo, formed on 14 May 2006. Rather than following the usual sound of visual kei, they were a darker, heavier band, which combined metal with melodious tones.

History
Guitarist Erina left the group in September 2009 and they went on hiatus, until announcing that they were officially disbanding on 13 March 2010 and that the same line-up would reform as a new band. That same month, vocalist Mikaru started a project called Digras; its other members have not been announced yet.

In January 2011, bassist Ivy (now going by Tomoa) formed the band Remming. In July, Mikaru and drummer Denka (now going by Syu) formed the band Black Line, and Erina is in VII-Sense.

Dio Distraught Overlord reunited in April 2016 for B7Klan's 10th anniversary European tour.

Manuel Vázquez Portal (born 1951 in Morón, Ciego de Ávila province, Cuba)  is a Cuban poet, writer and journalist known for his 2003 imprisonment.

Background
Vázquez Portal received a degree in philology from Villa Clara University. Prior to his imprisonment, he worked a variety of jobs, including teaching high school, reporting for state-owned media, and advising at the Ministry of Culture. During his tenure with government media, Vázquez Portal received three official prizes, but in 1995, he was expelled by the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC) for expressing dissident opinions. In the same year, he co-founded the independent Cuba Press. He founded another independent news agency, Grupo de Trabajo Decoro, in 1998, working there for the following five years. Among his articles were various criticisms of the national economy and electoral system.

Vázquez Portal is married to Yolanda Huerga, with whom he has a son, Gabriel.

Incarceration
In March 2003, the Cuban government launched a general crackdown (later called the "Black Spring") on dissidents, including a number of journalists. Seventy-five people were ultimately arrested, including Vázquez Portal. On 4 April 2004, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison for "endangering Cuba's independence" through his articles and his meetings with US officials.

Vázquez Portal's imprisonment was condemned by several human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, which designated him a prisoner of conscience, and Reporters Without Borders. In late 2003, the Committee to Protect Journalists awarded him its International Press Freedom Award, which recognizes journalists who show courage in defending press freedom despite facing attacks, threats, or imprisonment. Vázquez Portal was unable to attend the ceremony due to his imprisonment.

During his incarceration, Vázquez Portal kept a makeshift diary on sheets of blank paper brought by his family. In June 2003, his wife Huerga smuggled the diary from the prison and shared photocopies with the Associated Press. The diary told of poor conditions, including miserable food, constant mosquitoes and flies, and rat infestations in the cells. Huerga also helped found the Ladies in White, a protest group composed of the wives of imprisoned dissidents.

In August 2003, Vázquez Portal reportedly joined several other prisoners in a hunger strike, following which the group was split up and transferred to different prisons. He began to suffer from pulmonary emphysema and was released for medical reasons in June 2004. He subsequently emigrated to the US with his family, settling in Miami, Florida, where Huerga continued to be active in anti-Castro protests.

The 1903 College Football All-America team is composed of various organizations that chose College Football All-America Teams that season. The organizations and individuals that chose the teams included Collier's Weekly selected by Walter Camp, Caspar Whitney for Outing magazine, Charles Chadwick and Fielding H. Yost.

Of the 15 players who have been recognized by the NCAA as "consensus" All-Americans for the 1903 season, 12 played for teams in the Ivy League, and nine played for the "Big Four" teams of the era—Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Penn.  The only three consensus All-Americans from schools outside the Ivy League were tackle Fred Schacht of Minnesota, quarterback James Johnson of Carlisle, and halfback Willie Heston of Michigan.

Five players were selected as first-team All-Americans by at least four of the known selectors: guard John DeWitt of Princeton (5), center Henry Hooper of Dartmouth (5), end Charles D. Rafferty of Yale (5), halfback Willie Heston of Michigan (4), and tackle James Hogan of Yale (4).  Hooper, who was a freshman in 1903, died three months after the football season ended, following an attack of appendicitis.

In 2008, Sports Illustrated sought to answer the question, "Who would have won the Heisman from 1900-1934?" Its selection for 1903 was Willie Heston of Michigan described as "the nation's finest back."

College Football All-America Teams


The 1963 College Football All-America team is composed of college football players who were selected as All-Americans by various organizations and writers that chose College Football All-America Teams in 1963. The seven selectors recognized by the NCAA as "official" for the 1963 season are (1) the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), (2) the Associated Press (AP), (3) the Central Press Association (CP), (4) the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), (5) the Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA), (6) the Sporting News, and (7) the United Press International (UPI).

Consensus All-Americans
For the year 1963, the NCAA recognizes seven published All-American teams as "official" designations for purposes of its consensus determinations. Four players were unanimously chosen as first-team All-Americans by all seven official selectors.  They were: (1) Navy quarterback Roger Staubach, who was awarded the 1963 Heisman Trophy; (2) Illinois center/linebacker Dick Butkus, won the 1963 Chicago Tribune Silver Football as the Big Ten Conference's Most Valuable Player; (3) tackle Scott Appleton who won the Outland Trophy and led the 1963 Texas Longhorns football team to a national championship; and (4) Nebraska guard Bob "The Boomer" Brown, who was the second player chosen in the 1964 NFL Draft.  Staubach, Butkus and Brown were each subsequently inducted into both the College and Pro Football Hall of Fames. The consensus All-American team also included College and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees Gale Sayers (running back, Kansas) and Carl Eller (tackle, Minnesota).

The following chart identifies the NCAA-recognized consensus All-Americans and displays which first-team designations they received.

Pelayo Rodríguez was the majordomo of Alfonso VI of León and Castile from about 1102 to 1107. He is first mentioned in that office in a charter of 16 March 1104, and the last reference to him as majordomo dates to 14 May 1107.

Carlos Reina Aranda (born 27 July 1980) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a forward.

He amassed La Liga totals of 169 games and 28 goals over 11 seasons after emerging from Real Madrid's youth academy, representing in the competition Villarreal, Albacete, Sevilla, Numancia, Osasuna, Levante, Zaragoza and Granada. He added 125 matches and 33 goals in the Segunda División, in a 17-year senior career.

Club career
Aranda was born in Málaga, Andalusia. A product of Real Madrid's youth system, he never appeared, however, in any La Liga matches with the first team. He played, however, a small part in two UEFA Champions League-winning squads, appearing against Molde FK (1999–2000) and FC Lokomotiv Moscow (2001–02).

In January 2002, Aranda moved to CD Numancia, being instrumental in helping the Soria club to barely retain its Segunda División status. This prompted a move at the end of the season to Villarreal CF on a five-year contract but, as opportunities were scarce with the Valencian Community side, he returned to Numancia in January 2003.

Aranda joined Sevilla FC in 2004–05, scoring in his UEFA Cup debut, a 2–0 home win over Alemannia Aachen on 4 November 2004. He was relatively used during the campaign, but was deemed surplus to requirements after the arrivals of Luís Fabiano, Frédéric Kanouté and Javier Saviola, and left for Albacete Balompié on loan – he had already represented the Castile-La Mancha team the previous season.

Aranda's second spell with Albacete finished on a sour note, as he was accused of unprofessional behaviour by the club. He responded claiming he had been forced to appear at a press conference to show repentance for his actions.

After being instrumental in Real Murcia's return to the top flight in 2007 by netting 11 goals, squad second-best behind Iván Alonso, Aranda had an unassuming spell with Granada 74 CF. After spending the first months of 2008–09 training with lowly CF Gavà, in December 2008 he signed with Numancia for a third stint, appearing and scoring regularly but suffering top-division relegation.

On 16 July 2009, Aranda moved to CA Osasuna as part of a deal that saw Kike Sola move in the opposite direction, on loan for a season. In his second year with the Navarrese, he scored four times but also struggled with injuries and loss of form, and Sola also returned to the starting XI, eventually finishing as top scorer.

In July 2011, aged 31, Aranda signed for Levante UD. In January of the following year, after having received very little playing time, he joined fellow top-tier side Real Zaragoza. On 25 February 2012, he put the visitors ahead at hometown's Málaga CF, who eventually won 5–1.

Aranda switched clubs again in the winter transfer window of 2013, signing for his eighth in the Spanish main division, Granada CF, the most for any player.

Norman, Is That You? is a 1970 play in two acts by American playwrights Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick about a Jewish couple coming to terms with their son's homosexuality. The work is notably the first play written by both writers. After 19 preview performances, the play officially opened on Broadway on February 19, 1970 at the Lyceum Theatre. It closed after only 12 more performances on February 28, 1970. The production was directed by George Abbott and starred Martin Huston as Norman Chambers, Walter Willison as Garson Hobart, Lou Jacobi as Ben Chambers, Dorothy Emmerson as Mary, and Maureen Stapleton as Beatrice Chambers.

In his review of the play, Clive Barnes of The New York Times wrote, "It is strange how tastes and standards change. It seems only yesterday that we had plays such as The Green Bay Tree or even Tea and Sympathy which handled the then vexed subject of homosexuality with silk gloves... Here for the first time was a homosexual play aimed at the theater-party set. It is called  Norman, Is That You? and it seems that it is him.

Plot
Ben Chambers, a drycleaner, and his wife Beatrice are having marital problems. Beatrice leaves her husband for his brother and Ben decides to take off for New York City to visit his son, Norman. Ben finds his son in a romantic relationship with another man, Garson Hobart. Determined to set his son on the straight and narrow path of heterosexuality, Ben hires Mary, a prostitute, to try to entice his son into pursuing women. The attempt backfires and Ben ultimately comes to the conclusion that his son is gay and that there is nothing he can do to change that. At this point, Beatrice shows up and, unaware of the prior events that have transpired, is shocked to learn her son is gay. She too ultimately comes to accept her son. When Norman joins the Navy, the couple invites Garson to come and live with them, an offer which he accepts.

Reception and successive productions
While critics had positive things to say about Jacobi and Stapleton's performances, overall the production was not received well by New York critics. However, since then the play has garnered considerable more success in revivals. From the beginning the show became a popular choice for American community theatres during the 1970s. Arthur Lesser mounted the first international production in Paris in 1971 where it was very well received. Lesser also mounted successful productions in Scandinavia, Spain, and London during the 1970s. The production has had performances in more than 35 countries. Also in 1971, James Wheaton directed and starred in a version at the Ebony Showcase Theater in Los Angeles, which substitutes an African American family for a Jewish family. It ran at the Ebony for seven years, becoming one of the longest-running plays in Los Angeles theatre history. Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In purchased the film rights to the play in 1970 and a film adaptation (Norman... Is That You?) was released in 1976. The film version stars Redd Foxx and Pearl Bailey.

Johann de Lange (born 22 December 1959 in Pretoria, Union of South Africa) is an Afrikaans poet, short story writer and critic.  He is renowned for being one of the foremost gay writers in Afrikaans, his most controversial book being Nagsweet ("Night sweat").

Writing career
He debuted in 1982 with a collection of poetry titled Akwarelle van die dors ("Aquarelles of thirst") for which he was awarded the Ingrid Jonker prize in 1983. This was followed by Waterwoestyn ("Water desert") in 1984, Snel grys fantoom ("Quick grey phantom") in 1986, Wordende naak ("Changing") in 1988 which was awarded the Rapport Prize for Poetry, Nagsweet ("Nightsweat") in 1990, Vleiswond ("Flesh wound") in 1993 and Wat sag is vergaan ("That which is soft perishes") in 1995.

After a silence of 13 years he published a new volume of poetry Die algebra van nood ("The algebra of need") in 2009, which was awarded the Hertzog Prize for Poetry in 2011. In 2010 a selection from his poetry was published under the title Judasoog ("Judas eye").

In 1996 he published his first collection of short stories titled Vreemder as fiksie ("Stranger than fiction"), followed by Tweede natuur ("Second nature") in 2000 in which he explores the drug subculture.

In 1997 he edited an anthology of short stories titled Soort soek soort ("Birds of a feather"), covering 100 years of gay fiction in Afrikaans, and in 1998 an anthology of Afrikaans erotic poetry in collaboration with Antjie Krog titled Die dye trek die dye aan ("Thighs attracting thighs"). In 2010 he compiled a selection of poems by Afrikaans poet Lina Spies, titled Die skyn van tuiskoms ("Semblance of a homecoming"), and in 2011 a selection from the poetry of Wilhelm Knobel titled As die woorde begin droom ("When the words start dreaming").

He was also awarded the Pankrator prize for his poem Skerpskutter in an international poetry competition organised by UNESCO, as well as an Avanti award for his documentary script on the life of Ingrid Jonker Verdrinkte hande ("Drowning hands”).

He has translated poetry by Wilma Stockenström, Sheila Cussons, Antjie Krog, Lucas Malan & Ernst van Heerden amongst others into English. A great number of these translations has since been published in local and overseas collections and anthologies like The Penguin book of Southern African Verse (1989), Breaking the silence – a century of South African women’s poetry (1990), Soho Square: a collection of new writing from Africa (1992), The heart in exile: South African poetry in English 1990-1995 (1996) and The lava of this land: South African Poetry 1960-1996 (1997).

Philipp Steinke is a German songwriter, film composer, record producer and musician.  Steinke is a member of the band Asher Lane.  Philipp Steinke was born and resides in Berlin, Germany.

Songwriting and film composing career

Steinke scored the soundtracks for the TV movies Im Schatten des Pferdemondes and Für immer Venedig.  Steinke scored three episodes of the television series Heimatgeschichten and an episode of Stubbe – Von Fall zu Fall.

In March 2009, Steinke was staying in Los Angeles where he met and began a writing collaboration with Roxanne Seeman.  Steinke and Seeman wrote "Amor En Suspenso (Crocodile Tears)" which was recorded by Alejandra Guzmán, Mexico's "Queen of Rock" for her Único album, released by EMI Latin.  Guzman wrote the Spanish lyrics with Fernando Osorio.  In 2010, Guzman's Único album went gold in Mexico.

Steinke and Seeman were asked to write a song for Jacky Cheung, China's #1 Pop Icon, who wanted to record a Canto-jazz concept album. Working with Cheung's producer, Andrew Tuason, Steinke and Seeman wrote "Everyday Is Christmas". Cheung asked Seeman and Steinke for another song and they wrote "Which Way, Robert Frost".  According to Cheung, though he had "Everyday Is Christmas" adapted into Chinese twice, neither version captured the English lyrics as they were written so he recorded "Everyday Is Christmas" in English.  Jacky Cheung's "Private Corner" is the first jazz album Cheung has recorded and went platinum in less than a week.

In November 2011, Lin Yu-chun, a Taiwanese singer, who gained fame by appearing on a Taiwanese talent show, One Million Star (超級星光大道), singing "I Will Always Love You" (written and originally sung by Dolly Parton) in the style of Whitney Houston's cover version., released "Saving Grace", co-written by Steinke with Roxanne Seeman and Finn Martin, on his Endlessly album.

"Which Way, Robert Frost?" was recorded again by Paolo Onesa on his Pop Goes Standards album, released February 17, 2014 by MCA Music, in The Philippines.  "Which Way, Robert Frost?" received Awit Award nominations in 2015 in multiple categories: Paolo Onesa for Best Performance By A Male Recording Artist, Benjie Pating for Best Musical Arrangement, Arnie Mendaros for Best Vocal Arrangement, Ferdie Marquez & Efren San Pedro, Freq Studio & 12 Stone Studio for Best Engineered Recording.

In October 2014, Earth, Wind & Fire released their first Christmas album, "Holiday", including "Everyday Is Christmas" by Steinke and Seeman.  In 2015, Sony released the Earth, Wind & Fire "Holiday" album with "Everyday Is Christmas", as The Classic Christmas Album, in Sony's perennial Christmas album releases.

John Farnsworth Hall (8 December 1899 – 15 June 1987) was an Australian conductor and violinist.

John Farnsworth Hall was born in Petersham, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney, in 1899.  He was an original violin student at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music (then known as the NSW State Conservatorium), under its founding director Henri Verbrugghen.  He was appointed deputy leader of the New South Wales State Orchestra.

He was a member of the Farmers Trio, a pioneering radio chamber trio, in 1923.  The other members were Horace Keats, piano, and John Boatwright, cello.

He went to London to further his career, and played under various notable conductors.  He harboured an ambition to be a conductor himself, and while on tour in New Zealand, he was given an opportunity to conduct when Henri Verbrugghen fell ill.

He then became leader and deputy conductor of the new Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO). In 1946, Hall conducted the first performance by the SSO of Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 2 in D (an arrangement of his Oboe Concerto in C, K. 314), with Neville Amadio as soloist.

In 1947 he was appointed the first resident conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO).  During his time there, he introduced the symphonies of Ralph Vaughan Williams to Queensland concert-goers. He made a classic recording of Alfred Hill's piece for narrator and orchestra, Green Water, with the QSO and the speaker Peter Munro in 1954.

From 1954 he was conductor in residence of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.

He retired from conducting in 1965, and died in 1987, aged 87.  He was survived by his third wife and a daughter, both named Deirdre.

Robert 'Bob' Henry Miller (born 12 March 1941) is a former Labor Party politician. He was also an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the early 1960s.

Miller, who was used mostly as a ruck-rover or defender, was recruited to the Melbourne Football Club from Horsham. He made his debut in 1961, for a Norm Smith coached team which had appeared in the previous seven VFL Grand Finals. Although Miller contested finals in his first three seasons, including a Preliminary Final loss in 1963, he never got to play in a premiership decider. Melbourne did make the 1964 VFL Grand Final, which they won, but Miller was not selected. He retired at the end of the 1965 season, having played 69 senior games with Melbourne.

In 1966-67, Miller was an assistant professor of law at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and between 1967 and 1970 he was a human rights officer at the United Nations in New York.  He became a barrister in 1971, signing the Victorian Bar Roll on 11 November 1971; he also lectured in law at Monash University between 1971 and 1979.

He joined the Australian Labor Party in 1970 and nine years later was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for the Prahran. Miller served two terms. When his second term ended in 1985, Miller contested the seat of Monash in the Victorian Legislative Council but lost to the Liberal's Reg Macey.

John Crossley Swallow FRS (11 October 1923 – 3 December 1994) was an English oceanographer who invented the Swallow float (sometimes referred to as a neutral buoyancy float), a scientific drifting bottle based on the messages in bottles that shipwrecked sailors hoped would reach inhabited shores, summoning assistance.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1968. He candidature citation read: "Dr. J.C. Swallow is internationally known both for his distinguished geophysical work on the voyages of H.M.S. "Challenger", and for his measurements of deep ocean currents. He is the inventor of the "Swallow float", a hydrostatically stable, freely drifting source of sound underwater, which can be followed by a ship at the surface. By numerous observations with this ingenious device, he and others have completely changed our picture of the deep circulation of the ocean, showing the presence of strong deep currents in the western North Atlantic, and a reverse flow beneath the Gulf Stream. He has recently contributed to our knowledge of the equatorial undercurrent and of other currents in the Indian Ocean. Dr. Swallow combines a devotion to his work and a careful attention to detail with a mastery of the practical handling of a research ship at sea. The quality and originality of his contributions has already been recognized in the U.S.A. by the award of the Bigelow Medal and of the Albatross Award of the American Miscellaneous Society."

Swallow's invention
Swallow designed his float to reach neutral buoyancy at a desired mid-water depth.  The float emitted noises that could be tracked from a ship, allowing observation of the current velocity at the depth of the float. This ability to measure subsurface currents contributed to knowledge of the circulation patterns of the ocean.

Roosevelt station is a light rail station located in the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. It is served by the 1 Line of Sound Transit's Link light rail system, which continues north to Northgate station and south to Downtown Seattle and SeaTac. The underground station consists of a single island platform connected to the surface via a mezzanine and two entrances along 12th Avenue Northeast at Northeast 65th and 67th streets.

Construction on the Northgate extension was approved by voters in a 2008 ballot measure and began in 2012. Two tunnel boring machines used to build the light rail tunnels arrived at Roosevelt station in 2015, on their way between Northgate and the University District. The station opened on October 2, 2021.

Location

Roosevelt station is located on the west side of 12th Avenue Northeast between Northeast 65th Street and Northeast 67th Street, at the heart of the Roosevelt urban village in northern Seattle. It is adjacent to the Roosevelt Square shopping center and Roosevelt High School, with the immediate area constituting the commercial and retail core of the neighborhood. The station is also located near Ravenna Park and Green Lake, two of the largest parks in North Seattle.

Northeast 66th Street, which lies between the station's two entrances, was rebuilt as a "green street" with traffic calming pedestrian-friendly features. A southbound protected bike lane was installed on Roosevelt Way between NE 65th Street and the University Bridge in 2016, while the northbound lane on 11th and 12th avenues was put on hold due to the truncation of the RapidRide J Line. A set of east–west protected lanes were installed on NE 65th Street in 2019 between Ravenna Boulevard and 20th Avenue NE.

Transit-oriented development

The area surrounding the station consists of varied uses, including commercial and retail spaces along Roosevelt Way, 12th Avenue NE, and NE 65th Street. The largest land use is single-family homes, though multi-family residential buildings have been constructed in the 2010s in anticipation of light rail service. Within a  radius of the station, over 8,400 residents and 3,000 jobs were counted in 2013 by the Puget Sound Regional Council. In 2016, residential real estate website Redfin named Roosevelt one of the nation's "hottest neighborhoods", citing recent growth in real estate prices and interest in local properties, and credited the future light rail station in that interest. From 2016 to 2021, an estimated 1,626 housing units were constructed in the Roosevelt urban village and another 624 are permitted or under construction.

In January 2012, the Seattle City Council approved a rezoning of the Roosevelt neighborhood to allow for residential buildings of up to  adjacent to the station and  in the surrounding 40-block area. While the neighborhood was supportive of light rail construction and siting the station in the urban village, residents asked for a shorter  height limit to preserve views of Roosevelt High School.

Several parcels used for construction staging at Roosevelt station was opened up for transit-oriented development in 2020. Sound Transit and the Seattle Office Housing offered $15 million in funds for affordable housing on the site to non-profit developers Bellwether Housing and Mercy Housing Northwest, who were selected in 2017. The project, named Cedar Crossing, consists of 254 units reserved for low-income households (including multi-bedroom units), a child care center operated by El Centro de la Raza, and a care center for homeless families operated by Mary's Place. Construction began in 2020 and was completed in 2022.

History

Proposals for rapid transit service through the Roosevelt neighborhood date back to the early 20th century, when the area was near the northern city limits of Seattle. In 1911, Virgil Bogue proposed an extensive rapid transit system, including an underground subway following 10th Avenue Northeast from Northeast 85th Street south towards Latona (the present-day University District) and Downtown Seattle. The proposal was rejected by voters the following year, but an un-adopted 1926 plan from the Planning Commission included rapid transit service to Ravenna Park and the University District.  The Forward Thrust plan of the late 1960s proposed building a four-line rapid transit network using $385 million in local funding to augment a larger federal contribution. One of the proposed lines, traveling between Downtown Seattle and Lake City, included a station adjacent to Roosevelt High School at Brooklyn Avenue NE and NE 65th Street. The plan was put before voters on two occasions, in February 1968 and May 1970, and failed to gain the needed supermajority to pass.

In the 1990s, the formation of a regional transit authority (RTA) brought light rail planning to the Seattle region. In 1995, the transit authority proposed a regional light rail system to be built by 2010, including an at-grade or underground light rail line through Roosevelt with a station in the neighborhood. The RTA proposal was rejected by voters in March 1995, citing its $6.7 billion price. A smaller, $3.9 billion plan was approved in November 1996, only funding light rail from the University District to Seattle–Tacoma International Airport; an extension north to Northgate via Roosevelt was deferred until additional funding could be secured. In 1997, the RTA (since re-branded as Sound Transit) began exploring alignment options for the Northgate segment, with residents voicing their opposition to at-grade or elevated alignments in favor of an underground route. Following several rounds of public hearings in 2000, the Sound Transit Board narrowed down the routing options to a tunnel under 12th Avenue and an elevated alignment along Interstate 5 to the west of Roosevelt's commercial district, each with a station at Northeast 65th Street. Community and business groups in Roosevelt favored an underground alignment, while then Seattle mayor Greg Nickels supported the elevated station, which was less costly and closer to the Green Lake neighborhood. On January 28, 2005, the Sound Transit Board unanimously approved an underground alignment with a station along 12th Avenue NE between NE 65th and 67th streets, citing a smaller-than-expected difference in cost compared to the elevated option.

Funding for the Northgate extension of Link light rail, then known as "North Link", was included in the 2007 Roads and Transit ballot measure, which was put before voters in November 2007. The combined $18 billion proposal was rejected, with environmentalist groups disavowing it over the roadworks portion that sought to expand regional freeways. A second, transit-only measure known as "Sound Transit 2" was approved by voters in November 2008, securing funding for a light rail extension to Northgate and further north to Lynnwood.

The North Link project was approved by the Sound Transit Board in June 2012, setting a $2.1 billion budget and expected completion date of 2021. The contract for tunneling and station construction was awarded to JCM Northlink LLC (a joint venture of Jay Dee, Coluccio, and Michels) for $462 million in 2013. Demolition of a QFC supermarket on the site began in May 2012, while buildings on 12th Avenue NE, including the Standard Records building, and townhouses on NE 66th Street were also demolished later in the year. Sound Transit broke ground on the Northgate Link Extension project on August 17, 2012, at a ceremony on the future site of Roosevelt station. The majority of design work for Roosevelt station was completed in 2014 and 2015.

Tunnel boring machines for the project were launched from the north end near Northgate station in July and November 2014. The two machines arrived at Roosevelt station in March and July 2015, respectively, completing the first  of the  tunnel between Northgate and University of Washington station. Both machines continued south towards U District station, arriving in November 2015 and March 2016, respectively. During construction of cross-passages for the two tunnels south of Roosevelt in May 2016, a small sinkhole formed in the front yard of a house.

Hoffman Construction was awarded a $152 million contract in November 2016 to build the station's floor and supporting structures. Construction on Roosevelt station's interior structures began in early 2017 and reached street level the following year. The construction site's prominent  tower crane, nicknamed "Big Red", was dismantled in March 2019. Construction of the station was declared substantially complete in February 2021. Roosevelt station opened on October 2, 2021, with a community festival featuring live performances and a food truck at the Northeast 66th Street plaza.

Station layout

Roosevelt station is located on the west side of 12th Avenue Northeast on two blocks between NE 65th and 67th streets, with entrances at the two cross streets; they are labeled Exit A for the north entrance at Northeast 67th Street and Exit B for the south entrance at Northeast 65th Street. Both entrances have ticket vending machines and each have a pair of emergency ventilation shafts. The underground station has two lower levels, connected to the entrances by a series of stairs, escalators, and elevators: a mezzanine and the  island platform, located at a depth of . The area between the entrances includes a public plaza on Northeast 66th Street and an enclosed bicycle parking cage with 74 spaces. The station was designed by Hewitt Architects, which also worked on Northgate station.

Art

Public art is integrated into the station's design under the "STart" program, which allocates a percentage of project construction funds to art projects to be used in stations. Lead artist Christian French coordinated the project, while R & R Studios and Luca Buvoli created permanent art installations inside and outside the station. The station's outdoor plaza at 12th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 66th Street includes Building Blocks, a , three-tiered stepped pyramid by R & R Studios that is primarily painted gold. Buvoli's Mo-Mo-Motion on the platform and mezzanine consists of several abstract depictions of cyclists and runners inspired by the works of the Italian Futurism movement. The south entrance's ticketing area is home to the preserved façade of the Standard Records building, which was demolished for the station, including the restored neon sign.

Services

The station is served by the 1 Line, which runs between Northgate, Downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley, and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. Roosevelt station is the first southbound station from Northgate and seventeenth northbound station from Angle Lake, one stop north of U District. 1 Line trains serve Roosevelt station twenty hours a day on weekdays and Saturdays, from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.; and eighteen hours on Sundays, from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. During regular weekday service, trains operate roughly every eight to ten minutes during rush hour and midday operation, respectively, with longer headways of fifteen minutes in the early morning and twenty minutes at night. During weekends, 1 Line trains arrive at Roosevelt station every ten minutes during midday hours and every fifteen minutes during mornings and evenings. The station is approximately three minutes from Northgate station, ten minutes from Westlake station in Downtown Seattle, and 46 minutes from SeaTac/Airport station. Sound Transit estimates that there will be 8,000 daily boardings at the station in 2030.

Roosevelt station is also served by several King County Metro and Sound Transit Express buses that provide onward connections to surrounding neighborhoods and regional destinations. The station has five bus bays, primarily on Roosevelt Way and Northeast 65th Street. King County Metro operates seven routes from Roosevelt station with connections to the University District, Greenwood, Fremont, Lake City, Sand Point, Northgate, South Lake Union, and Downtown Seattle.

Wei Shyy  () is an aerospace engineer who served as the 4th President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) from 2018 to 2022 with his acting presidency starting from 1 February 2018. He also holds a concurrent appointment as Chair Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. He first joined HKUST in August 2010 as Provost.

Education and early life
Born and raised in Taiwan, Shyy received his Bachelor of Science from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan in 1977 and then went to the United States in 1979 to study at the University of Michigan where he received a Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering in 1981. He later received his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1982. He was subsequently employed by the University of Florida and GE Research and Development Center in Schenectady, New York.

Academic career
Shyy was Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson Collegiate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the University of Michigan. In August 2010 he joined The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) as Provost. In 2013 he additionally became Executive Vice-President at HKUST. He was appointed the fourth President of HKUST in September 2018, succeeding Tony F. Chan.

In November 2021, Shyy announced that he would depart from his position with effect from October 2022, almost a year before the end of his five-year term. Shyy gave no reason for his early departure.

On 8 November 2019, during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests, Shyy was presiding over a graduation ceremony when he was notified of the death of Chow Tsz-lok, a HKUST student. He paused the ceremony for a period of silent mourning. Later he called for an independent enquiry into the death. Shyy was one of three university heads in Hong Kong who did not express support for the imposition of the national security law, telling reporters that as it had already become law, he had "no need" to support it.

Research
Shyy has made substantial contributions to air and space flight vehicle research and development, fluid machinery design optimization, and computational methods for complex unsteady flows. His work in flapping wing aerodynamics, surrogate-based optimization for space propulsion components and battery technologies, computational modeling for gas turbine combustor flows, cavitating and multiphase dynamics, power generation devices, biomechanical systems, and high performance materials processing are internationally recognized.

He and his collaborators were the first to:
 Identify the main sources of hydrocarbon emissions from spark-ignition internal combustion engines;
 Compute gas-turbine combustor flows for GE using 3-D Navier-Stokes equations on body-fitted meshes;
 Recognize and propose to adopt structural flexibility for micro air vehicles; and
 Offer an analytical framework to model the characteristics of glow discharge type of plasma actuator.
In addition, research by him and his collaborators has offered

 original insight into low Reynolds number aerodynamics for small scale flight vehicles and Mars helicopter blades (due to Mars’ low density atmosphere)
 comprehensive framework and tools for surrogate model-based data analytics and optimization techniques using artificial neural network, statistical techniques and diver sources of data input

Professional services
His professional views have been quoted in various news media, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, the USA Today, the Christian Science Monitor, the New Scientist and the U.S. News & World Report. He also contributed multiple articles to the World Economic Forum.

He is the author or a co-author of five books and numerous journal and conference articles dealing with computational and modeling techniques involving fluid flow, biological and low Reynolds number aerodynamics, combustion and propulsion, and a broad range of topics related to aerial and space flight vehicles. He is General Editor of the Cambridge Aerospace Book Series published by the Cambridge University Press, Co-Editor-in Chief of Encyclopedia of Aerospace Engineering, a major reference work published by Wiley-Blackwell. His photos on birds and insects in motion have been collected as books, entitled Flight InSight and Flapping.
