Holy War (BYU–Utah)

The Holy War is the name given to the American college football rivalry game played annually by the Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars and the University of Utah (U of U) Utes. It is part of the larger BYU–Utah sports rivalry. In this context, the term "Holy War" refers to the fact that BYU is owned and administered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the U of U is a secular, public university with a substantial LDS student population. The current president and head football coach at the U of U are also LDS Church members.

The event is part of a three-way rivalry among Division I FBS universities from the state of Utah: BYU, U of U, and Utah State. The winner of the series wins a trophy known as the Beehive Boot.

Both teams played in the same conference from 1922 to 2010, most recently in the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference (MW). During the MW years, the Holy War was often the deciding game of the conference title. Despite Utah moving to the Pac-12 Conference in 2011 and BYU becoming an independent the same year, the two universities agreed to maintain their annually scheduled game. The series was briefly interrupted in 2014 and 2015 for Utah to play a home-and-home series with Michigan — the first since 1943 to 1945, when BYU did not field a team due to World War II. Games had later been scheduled as non-conference matchups until 2028, with another interruption in 2022 and 2023 for Utah to play a home series with Florida. Starting in 2024, the rivalry will again become a conference matchup, with BYU having joined the Big 12 Conference in 2023, and Utah following suit in 2024.

The two-year hiatus was unexpectedly cut short when the 2015 Las Vegas Bowl pitted BYU against Utah, creating the "Holy War in Sin City" in the postseason.

Origin of the term 'Holy War'
While the Holy War is often used to describe the BYU-Utah rivalry, the phrase wasn't used in connection with the rivalry until the 1990s when local sports talk radio hosts began coining the term. Prior to this, the Holy War was used in local media to describe the occasional matchup between BYU and Notre Dame. The term became widely used locally and nationally from 2003 to 2008, when the winner of the game simultaneously became the MWC champion, often with nationwide acclaim.

Rivalry components
Several components make the Holy War particularly fierce. The U of U and BYU are two of the biggest colleges in the state of Utah. As the name of the rivalry implies, religion is a large component of the rivalry. The U of U has a large Latter-day Saint student population and BYU is owned by the LDS Church, with its student population being almost entirely church members. The long length of rivalry is also a major element.

Disputed origin
The two schools disagree on when the first game in the series was played. Utah claims the first game was played in 1896 against Brigham Young Academy (BYA). BYU's athletic website shows their schedule dating back to 1922, but no earlier. The six games played from 1896 to 1898 ended with a 3–3 split. Utah claims these six results in the all-time series records, while BYU does not.

Religion
The U of U is the flagship university of the state of Utah, a state known for its substantial Latter-day Saint population, while BYU is the flagship university of the LDS Church. The matchup has been described as taking on religious, or "church vs. state" undertones.

Proximity
BYU, which is in Provo, Utah, and the U of U, which is in Salt Lake City, are about 50 mi apart, approximately an hour's drive on Interstate 15. Consequently, the two teams compete for recruits and fan support. It is not uncommon for friends, neighbors, and even family members to have opposite allegiances.

Team successes
While the two teams have not necessarily been strong at the same time, they had the most conference championships in the MWC before both left the conference in 2011. Each team has had four conference championships since the creation of the MWC in 1999. Including championships of other conferences, Utah has 24 conference championships in its history, while BYU has 23. Both of these numbers are well ahead of the current MWC member with the most conference championships, Colorado State, who has 15. The 1984 BYU Cougars football team won a consensus national champion with an undefeated season and victory over Michigan in the 1984 Holiday Bowl.

BYU again received national recognition in 1996/1997 as one of the first non-major conference teams to break into what would become the New Year's Six of the 2010s  BYU finished ranked 5th in the final 1996 AP poll 1996 NCAA Division I-A football rankings.

During the era of the now-defunct Bowl Championship Series (BCS) (1998–2013), Utah played in two BCS bowls: the 2005 Fiesta Bowl (a 35–7 victory over Pitt) and the 2009 Sugar Bowl (a 31–17 victory over Alabama). For these BCS bowl victories, Utah finished ranked in the AP Poll #4 and #2, respectively. Many sports media members and observers, including ESPN's Rick Reilly, argued that Utah (as the nation's lone undefeated FBS team) should have been selected to play Florida in the BCS title game or awarded the AP national championship. Utah did receive national championship recognition from NCAA-designated major selector Anderson & Hester - which is now recognized by the NCAA in their official football guide.

Fanbase comparisons
In 2011, the New York Times polled fans of all current FBS schools to rank them according to the size of their respective fan bases. BYU was ranked #43 nationally with 709,864 people self-identifying as BYU fans, while Utah was ranked #67 with 351,939 people self-identifying as fans.

In 2017, Utah saw an average of 45,913 fans attend home games and 52,489 fans on the road (including a bowl game).

BYU averaged 56,267 fans at home and 35,019 at away games. LaVell Edwards Stadium has a capacity of 63,470 meaning that the stadium was filled on average, at 88% of capacity.

The University of Deseret
The University of Deseret was established February 28, 1850, by the General Assembly of the provisional State of Deseret. This date is enshrined on the seal of the U of U. The University of Deseret closed in 1853 and was reestablished in 1867. In 1892, the school's name was changed to the University of Utah, to coincide with Utah's first football team. The team had won 1 game and lost 2 in their first campaign, including a loss to future rival Utah State. The U of U was controlled by the LDS Church from its founding until well after Statehood in 1896.

Brigham Young Academy years
Before 1903, BYU was known as BYA. During the 1890s, Utah and BYA played six times in football. The two schools split the series 3–3.

BYA stopped playing football in 1900, following a player death, and did not start again until 1922, after it had become BYU. BYU does not recognize these first six meetings and only recognizes games played from 1922 onward.

Utah's early dominance
After a twenty-three-year hiatus, BYU reinstated their football team for the 1922 season. Utah began its early dominance over BYU with a 49–0 victory on October 14, 1922. Utah maintained the winning steak until 1942, when the Cougars shocked the Utes 12–7 at Utah. The rivalry then took a hiatus from 1943 to 1945 because BYU did not field a team due to World War II. When the rivalry continued in 1946, the Utes continued their domination over the Cougars, winning or tying the next twelve contests. Except for a three-year BYU winning streak from 1965 to 1967, the rivalry continued this trend through the 1971 season, at which point Utah had amassed a 41–8–4 (.810) record against BYU.

LaVell Edwards era
In 1972, the rivalry shifted in favor of BYU, when they hired LaVell Edwards to coach the team. In his first season, BYU beat Utah 16–7 for its first victory in four years. The win signaled the beginning of BYU's dominance against Utah. From 1972 to 1992, BYU went 19–2 (.900) against Utah.

During those years, Utah went through a series of coaches that all ended with losing records against Edwards and BYU. Bill Meek's Utes went 0–2 against Edwards during Meek's last two years (1972–1973). Tom Lovat (1974–1976) was 0–3. Wayne Howard (1977–1981) was 1–4. Chuck Stobart (1982–1984) was 0–3. Jim Fassel (1985–1989) was 1–4. Finally, Utah found some success when it hired Ron McBride (1990–2002). McBride would finish with a 5–6 record against Edwards, but he started with three consecutive losses.

Wayne Howard's Crusade
During the 1977 meeting, BYU was on the way to winning in a 38–8 blowout. Nonetheless, Edwards put starting quarterback Marc Wilson back into the game so Wilson could set an NCAA record for passing yards. Wilson succeeded in setting the record (subsequently broken) and finished the game with 571 passing yards. The incident infuriated Utah head coach Howard. After the game, he said, "This today will be inspiring. The hatred between BYU and Utah is nothing compared to what it will be. It will be a crusade to beat BYU from now on. This is a prediction: in the next two years Utah will drill BYU someday, but we won’t run up the score even if we could set an NCAA record against them." The next year, Howard made good on his promise. The Utes came from behind to upset the Cougars 23–22. The 1978 win was Utah's first against an Edwards coached BYU team.

Jim McMahon says, "Scoreboard."
During the 1980 Holy War, BYU quarterback Jim McMahon helped engineer a blowout. Most of the game he was heckled by a contingent of Utah fans at Rice Stadium. After throwing for another touchdown late in the 56–6 win, he pointed at the scoreboard to quiet the hecklers. The game was in the midst of a 12–1 BYU season. It was also their second consecutive win against Utah and their eighth win out of the last nine games. The fifty-point margin of victory is the largest for either team in the series.

1982–1984: Edwards versus Stobart
On November 17, 1984, BYU entered the Holy War 10–0 and ranked #3 in the AP Poll. BYU overcame several turnovers to win 24–14. BYU would finish the season 13–0 and be the only undefeated team in Division I-A (now the Football Bowl Subdivision). They were voted number one in the final AP Poll as well as the Coaches' Poll to become consensus national champions. This was the last time a team outside the Power Five conferences won a national championship; the previous being Army in 1945.

1985–1989: Edwards versus Fassel
In 1988, BYU had won every game since 1978 and entered the Holy War game as an 11-point favorite. Utah had a 5–5 record while BYU was 8–2 and had already accepted an invitation to the Freedom Bowl. Utah, led by quarterback Scott Mitchell, started the game by gaining a 21–0 lead on the way to winning 57–28. The 1988 team set a series record for points scored against BYU—a record that stands today. The game came to be known locally as "the Rice Bowl" because the game was played at Utah's Rice Stadium. The next year, BYU set a series record by scoring 70 against Utah. BYU jumped to a 49–0 lead before Utah scored its first touchdown just before halftime. Behind quarterback Ty Detmer, BYU scored eight touchdowns on its first eight possessions and amassed over 750 yards of total offense. Utah would score three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, leading to a final score of 70–31. The 101 points the two teams scored is still a series record.

The modern rivalry
By the mid-1990s, the Cougars' prowess leveled off from their successes of the 1970s and 1980s. Around this time, the Utes also improved significantly, and the rivalry became much more competitive.

1990–2000: Edwards versus McBride
The nature of the rivalry began to change in 1993, during McBride's fourth season as head coach. The Utes won their first game in Provo in twenty-two seasons and their first Holy War game since Edwards became BYU's head coach. With less than a minute remaining, Utah's kicker Chris Yergensen, who had already missed two out of three field goals on the day, broke the 31–31 tie with a game-winning 55-yard field goal.

After the win, Utah fans and players attempted to tear down the north end zone goalpost at what was then Cougar Stadium. Cougar players returned to the field to protect the goalpost from being torn down. About the incident, Lenny Gomes, a BYU nose guard, said, "Typical Utah bullshit. All those guys think that's all there is to life. But when I'm making $50–60,000 a year, they'll be pumping my gas. They're low-class losers." The remark is still remembered in rivalry history today, although Gomes came to admit his regrets about making the statement in later years.

The 1994 season was McBride's best, as he led the Utes to a 10–2 record and a top-10 finish in national rankings. The Holy War game of that year was the first time both the Utes and Cougars played as top-25 ranked teams. The Utes won the game 34–31, which was coincidentally the same score of their meeting a year before. Utah ran its rivalry winning streak up to three games a year later, with a 34–17 win at BYU. The Utes and Cougars traded wins and losses the next couple of years, before the 2000 season.

The Kaneshiro Doink
In 1998, the first Holy War was played at the newly renovated Rice-Eccles Stadium. BYU entered the game with an 8–3 (6–1 WAC) record and was playing for a berth in the WAC Championship game. Utah entered the game with a 7–3 (5–2 WAC) record and was hoping to land a bowl game and spoil BYU's WAC Championship hopes. BYU took a 26–17 lead when Owen Pochman connected on a 47-yard field goal with 2:41 left to play in the game. On the ensuing kickoff, Utah's Daniel Jones returned the ball 95 yards to cut the lead to 26–24. BYU's possession had the ball at the 15-yard line, where Ryan Kaneshiro attempted a 32-yard field goal. The attempt bounced off the right upright, which preserved the win for BYU and caused the goalpost to shake from the "doink".

Utah cheerleader pummels an aggressive fan
During the 1999 edition of the Holy War, Utah recorded its fourth consecutive win in Provo. Early in the fourth quarter, Utah scored a touchdown when quarterback T.D. Croshaw completed a four-yard-pass to Donny Utu to put Utah up 20–10. In celebration, Utah cheerleader Billy Priddis ran along the visitor's sideline with a large "U" flag. Afterwards, a BYU fan ran onto the sideline and tackled Priddis from behind: Priddis then turned around and attacked the fan, landing seven or eight punches before stadium security apprehended the fan.

About the incident, Priddis said, "There's 65,000 fans here, does he think I'm not going to retaliate?" The fan was banned from the BYU campus for this incident.

From the Utah sideline, receiver Steve Smith taunted BYU fans and yelled, "Even our cheerleaders are kicking your butt," while BYU's athletic director Val Hale was purported to have chastised Priddis and the rest of the Utah cheerleaders.

After the game, he said, "I told them from now on we're going to leave our flags at home, and they should do the same. All it does is initiate the fans to throw things out of the stands."

Edwards' last game
Entering the 2000 season, Edwards announced that he was retiring. His final game as Cougars head coach came against the Utes in Salt Lake City, where BYU won, 34–27, with a last-minute drive that ended with a touchdown.

2001 and 2002: Crowton versus McBride
Under new head coach Gary Crowton, BYU entered the 2001 game against Utah at 10–0 and looked to become the first team from outside the BCS to play in a BCS bowl game. A tight game ended with a comeback by BYU. BYU running back Luke Staley scored a touchdown 1:16 left to play, and BYU DB Jenaro Gilford intercepted a pass on the ensuing Ute drive to seal the victory. The 24–21 win gave the Cougars consecutive wins against the Utes for the first time in nearly ten years. The Cougars, however, failed to "bust" the BCS, ending the season with losses to Hawaii and Louisville.

McBride entered the 2002 rivalry game in danger of being fired. The Utes had struggled all season long and even with their 13–6 victory against BYU, Utah finished with their second losing season in three years. The 5–6 finish sealed McBride's fate and he was fired in 2002; Weber State University hired him in December 2004.

2003 and 2004: Crowton versus Meyer
Urban Meyer was hired to replace Ron McBride. Under Meyer, Utah players were not allowed to use the name BYU and began referring rather to the Team Down South or TDS (BYU being about 50 miles south of the U of U), imitating Ohio State coach Woody Hayes practice of referring to Michigan as "that team up north." This reference has become a tradition among Utah fans.

BYU's scoring streak ends
In Meyer's first season, the Utes won the MWC and finished 10–2, which was their best record since the 1994 season. The last game of the regular season, Utah beat BYU for the second straight year with a 3–0 victory. The victory snapped BYU's NCAA record for scoring in 361 straight games—BYU's first shutout since a 20–0 loss to Arizona State on September 25, 1975.

BCS busters

In 2004, Utah had its best season up to that point, with a season record of 12–0. They became the first team to "bust" the BCS, a term used to describe a team not from an Automatic Qualifying conference playing in a BCS bowl game. They went on to win their matchup against Pittsburgh in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl. The Utes final regular season game, a 52–21 victory over BYU, clinched the invitation to a BCS bowl. Meyer then left Utah for Florida. After the 2004 season, Gary Crowton resigned after finishing with his third consecutive losing season.

2005–2015: Mendenhall versus Whittingham
In 2005, Bronco Mendenhall and Kyle Whittingham started as head coaches at BYU and Utah, respectively. Whittingham, a BYU alum, was offered the job at BYU before turning it down and accepting the position at Utah, which added to the rivalry between the two coaches. Whittingham won the overall series against Mendenhall with a tally of 7–3. Eight of the ten games were decided by a touchdown or less. In a December 17, 2009, column, writer Stewart Mandel called the coaching rivalry the best coaching rivalry of that decade.

First overtime game
The 2005 season saw some striking parallels between the two programs. Both had replaced their former head coaches, struggled through parts of their seasons, and would finish the regular season with 6–5 records. When the two met in Provo in November 2005, BYU was looking for its first win against the Utes in three seasons. Utah was looking for a winning record and a shot at a bowl game. BYU entered as the favorite because Utah would be playing without its starting quarterback and its best wide receiver, who had been injured in their previous game. The Utes' played junior college transfer Brett Ratliff as quarterback. The fourth quarter ended with a tied score of 34-34. In overtime, Ratliff completed a touchdown pass leading to a 41–34 Utah victory. Ratliff completed 17 of 32 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 112 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown. He was responsible for all five Utah touchdowns.

Beck to Harline
The two teams met again in November 2006, this time in Salt Lake City. BYU gained an early lead, then fell behind and trailed for much of the game. BYU won the game 33–31 with a last-minute touchdown pass from John Beck to Jonny Harline. The win gave BYU an undefeated record of 8–0 in MWC play. Harline caught the pass on his knees in the end zone with no Utah defender near him. The play led to BYU fans creating and wearing T-shirts reading "Harline's still open."

Magic happens
The 2007 game's first 12 points were only field goals, BYU's Mitch Payne scoring 9 points. Utah then scored the first touchdown, taking the lead 10–9. In the fourth quarter, BYU came back with a late-game drive that included a 4th and 18 from its own 12-yard line. Four plays later, freshman running back Harvey Unga ran for a touchdown to win it 17–10. Austin Collie, who caught the Max Hall pass to convert the 4th and 18 to a first down said about the play, "I wouldn't say it was lucky. We executed the play well. We should have had another one. Obviously, when you're doing what's right on and off the field, I think the Lord steps in and plays a part in it. Magic happens." The comment further fueled the religious animosity between the two teams.

BCS busting... again
Four years after becoming the first team from outside the BCS to bust into the BCS, Utah returned to the national stage by going undefeated throughout the 2008 season. The game was fairly even until Utah scored a touchdown with 15 seconds left in the half to put the Utes up by 10. BYU cut the lead to three in the third quarter, but Utah won the game 48–24 following three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Second overtime game

In 2009, in the second overtime game in series history, BYU defeated Utah 26–23. BYU held a 20–6 lead entering the fourth quarter. Utah scored 14 fourth-quarter points to force overtime, but their comeback fell short. Utah managed a field goal in overtime to take a 23–20 lead, but on BYU's possession, Max Hall connected to tight end Andrew George for a 25-yard touchdown reception and the victory. The game was dubbed "George is still running" by BYU fans.

During the postgame press conference, Hall was asked if he felt he had redeemed himself for his performance in the previous year's game in which he had five interceptions and one fumble. Hall responded, "A little bit, yeah. I don't like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program. I hate their fans. I hate everything. So, it feels good to send those guys home. They didn't deserve it. It was our time, and it was our time to win. We deserved it. We played as hard as we could tonight, and it felt really good to send them home and to get them out of here, so it is a game I'll always remember." When asked for a clarification and whether he really hated Utah, Hall said, "I think the whole university and their fans and organization is classless. They threw beer on my family and stuff last year and did a whole bunch of nasty things. I don't respect them, and they deserve to lose."

The next day, Hall issued an apology for his "remarks". He alleged that his "family was spit on, had beer dumped on them and were physically assaulted on several occasions" during the previous year's game at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Burton's block
For 2010, the game was played at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. It was the last game for the two teams as conference rivals. BYU entered the game at 6–5 while Utah came in at 9–2. In a low-scoring affair, BYU successfully attempted two field goals, one in each of the first two quarters, to lead 6–0 at halftime. In the third quarter, the Cougars scored a touchdown on a 21-yard pass play from Jake Heaps to McKay Jacobson, to take a 13–0 lead. The fourth quarter began with Utah successfully attempting a 40-yard field goal, cutting the lead to 13–3, and then after Utah recovered a BYU fumble, Utah capitalized with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Wynn to Devonte Christopher to make the score 13–10. The Cougars responded with a field goal, to make it 16–10.

Utah responded to a series of turnovers with a Matt Asiata touchdown on a 3-yard run to make it 17–16 with 4:24 remaining. BYU then drove down the field to Utah's 22-yard line, to set up Mitch Payne for a game-winning field goal with 4 seconds remaining. However, Utah cornerback Brandon Burton raced from the outside to block the kick and secure a 17–16 Utah victory.

Shock and Awe
With Utah having left for the Pac-12 and BYU declaring conference independence, the 2011 BYU home game against Utah was the rivalry's first non-conference game since 1898. BYU suffered a rough start on its opening drive, when on its third play, the ball was snapped over quarterback Jake Heaps' head and recovered for a touchdown by Utah DE Derrick Shelby. The remainder of the 1st quarter held similar luck for BYU, with Running back JJ Diluigi being stripped of the ball on 1st and Goal from the Utah 6-yard line. The 2nd quarter proved more competitive with BYU completing a 32-yard TD pass to WR Ross Apo. Utah answered with 30-yard TD pass from QB Jordan Wynn to freshman TE Jake Murphy, just two minutes before the half. Utah led at halftime 14–10.

After a first half that seemed to promise the typical nail-biter game that the last decade of the rivalry had shown, it was anything but. The Utes scored 40 unanswered points in the 2nd half (a total of 47 unanswered). Turnovers continued to plague BYU, who would finish with 7, including JD Falslev's mishandled kickoff return at their own 6-yard line, QB Jake Heaps fumble at their own 6-yard line, and QB Riley Nelson's (substituted in for Heaps in the 4th quarter) fumble after being sacked, returned 57 yards for a TD by freshman LB V.J. Fehoko.

The final result of 54–10 was the largest margin of victory for either team in the Holy War since 1983, and Utah's second-largest margin of victory ever in the Holy War. Utah's 54 points were the second most the Utes had ever scored against BYU.

Fandemonium
In 2012, the Holy War ended in dramatic and odd fashion. Utah went into the 4th quarter up 17 points, but the BYU offense brought the game within 3. With less than 30 seconds remaining, BYU quarterback Riley Nelson successfully drove into Utah territory on 4th and long with a 40-yard pass to wide receiver, Cody Hoffman. On what was thought to be the final play of the game, Nelson's deflected pass fell incomplete as time seemingly expired and the Utah fans rushed the field. The pass, however, was shown to hit the ground with one second left, giving BYU an opportunity to kick a field goal from 51 yards (once the fans had been cleared from the field of play). On the attempt, the kick was blocked, the ball recovered by BYU, and the runner subsequently tackled. However, Utah fans again rushed the field, this time before the play was over, thus earning a penalty that gave BYU another chance at a field goal, this one from 36 yards. That attempt was unsuccessful, however, when the kick hit the left upright and went awry, leading Utah fans, who were already on the sidelines, to rush the field for a third and final time. Utah won the game 24–21.

Twenty to Thirteen in 2013
Utah and BYU played the 2013 game under the request of Utah Athletic Director Chris Hill that it would be the final contest until 2016 – a fact that served as motivation for both teams to avoid having to endure a defeat for three years.

Utah found themselves with a 13–0 halftime lead at LaVell Edwards Stadium. BYU scored on their first drive of the 2nd half, a field goal, with 11:39 remaining in the third quarter and the Cougars tacked on another exactly six minutes later. Utah, though, responded with a 79-yard touchdown drive to extend its lead to 20–6 with 12:44 remaining in regulation.

BYU fought back for their 3rd score of the half, this time on a one-yard run by running back Michael Alisa, with 5:44 left in the game to close the gap to seven points. After the Cougar defense forced the Utes to a three-and-out on Utah's next possession, BYU quarterback Taysom Hill was intercepted on the Cougars' next drive with a little more than 90 seconds remaining – appearing to seal the win for Utah.

The Utes would leave Provo with a 20–13 win.

2015 Las Vegas Bowl: Holy War in Sin City
The planned hiatus for 2014–2015 was unexpectedly cut short. On December 6, 2015, it was announced that BYU would play Utah on December 19, 2015, in the Las Vegas Bowl. It was the first time the teams met in the postseason and the first Holy War game to be played at a neutral site.

During the first 8 minutes of the game, Utah forced a Las Vegas Bowl record five turnovers in the first quarter, resulting in a 35–0 lead. Though BYU would score four unanswered touchdowns to narrow the lead to 35–28, Utah was able to secure a crucial first down at the end of the game to run out the clock. After the first five minutes of the game, BYU never possessed the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead in the game. Utah took the bowl game with a 35–28 win, ending Bronco Mendenhall's last game as BYU's head coach with a loss.

2016: Hindsight is 20-20
The first BYU offensive play from scrimmage in the 2016 game resulted in an interception, returned by Sunia Tauteoli for a 41-yard Utah pick-six. However, Utah subsequently committed several turnovers, which would lead to two BYU field goals and a touchdown late in the 2nd Quarter. Utah answered with a touchdown of their own and held a slim 14–13 lead as the teams headed into the locker room for halftime. After adding a field goal in the third quarter and one in the fourth quarter, Utah led 20–13 with 2:47 to go. Taysom Hill led BYU on 75-yard drive, capped off by a 7-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds to play. Rather than kick the PAT to make it 20–20, BYU Head Coach Kalani Sitake decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win. Quarterback Taysom Hill ran the ball up the middle on a draw, but the Utes stopped him at the three-yard line. Utah would emerge victorious by a score of 20–19, despite committing six turnovers in the game.

2017: The Tyler Huntley Show
In the 2017 matchup, Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley racked up a career-high 300 passing yards (27-of-36) and added a career-high 89 yards on the ground and a touchdown. The Utes held a 13-point lead to end the third quarter, but a late fourth quarter touchdown from BYU made it a six-point game, putting the pressure on the Utes' defense. They didn't disappoint, forcing three incomplete passes to regain possession and claim the victory. Utah would win the game, 19–13.

2018: The Comeback
The game on November 24, 2018, was held in Salt Lake City at Rice-Eccles Stadium. BYU (6–5) was the underdog to the Pac-12 South Champion Utah Utes (8–3). BYU jumped on the Utes, scoring 20 unanswered points. Utah's first score came early in the third quarter from an interception returned for a touchdown. BYU led 27–7 up until 40 seconds remained in the third quarter. After a Utah touchdown, the resulting momentum shift led to two touchdown runs by Armand Shyne, which gave Utah the lead for the first time with just 3:02 left in regulation. Utah, up by 1 point (28–27), then forced BYU to turn the ball over on downs with an impressive 4th & 1 stop. On the first play of the ensuing drive, with 1:43 left in the game, Utah quarterback Jason Shelley ran 33 yards for a touchdown to bring the score to 35–27. This was the largest deficit overcome for either team in the Holy War series.

2019: Moss Runs and Huntley Taunts
The 100th meeting between the two schools saw Utah winning their 4th straight game at LaVell Edwards Stadium with the help of senior running back Zack Moss, who rushed for 187 yards and scored a touchdown. Utah would win the game, 30–12, and extend their winning streak over BYU to 9 games.

2021: Ten is Not Coming
The Cougars and Utes did not meet in the 2020 season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and next met on September 11, 2021, in Provo, a day after BYU accepted an invitation to play in the Big 12 Conference starting in 2023. The 21st-ranked Utes faltered early offensively, turning the ball over twice in the first quarter. BYU capitalized and controlled the trenches for a large majority of the game, eventually building a 23–7 lead to begin the fourth quarter. The Utes would attempt to mount a comeback, cutting the deficit to six after a touchdown with 9:31 remaining, but BYU wore them down late, kicking a field goal with 3:17 left to put them up 26–17. After the Utes did not convert on 4th down on their ensuing possession, BYU ran out the clock. As time expired, BYU fans rushed out on the field to celebrate. The upset victory for BYU ended their nine-game losing streak and marked their first win over Utah since 2009, and Kalani Sitake's first win over Utah as BYU head coach. BYU quarterback Jaren Hall accounted for over 200 total yards with three passing touchdowns in the win, and the Cougars rushed for 231 yards against a Ute defense that had often stifled their running game in the decade past.

Future games
After the game in 2021, the series was on a two-year hiatus, with Utah playing a home-and-home series with Florida. The future of the series was thrown into further doubt with BYU joining the Big 12 in 2023. However, the series was restored as a conference game with the announcement that Utah would also join the Big 12 beginning in 2024. In November 2023, it was announced that the matchup would be one of four in the Big 12 played on an annual basis.

Heart of Ice (Batman: The Animated Series)

"Heart of Ice" is the fourteenth episode of the first season of American animated television series Batman: The Animated Series, first aired on September 7, 1992, written by Paul Dini, and directed by Bruce Timm. This episode features the first appearance in the series of Mr. Freeze. In the comics, Freeze first appeared in Batman #121 in February 1959, with this episode providing a complete overhaul of his character, going from laughing stock to tragic villain. The episode also introduces Freeze's wife Nora Fries and his motivation to find a cure for her terminal illness, both of which were later carried over to the comic books. The episode begins a four-episode and one film story arc for Freeze that continues in "Deep Freeze", the feature film Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero, The New Batman Adventures episode "Cold Comfort" and is concluded in the Batman Beyond episode "Meltdown".

"Heart of Ice" is one of the most acclaimed episodes of the series, and won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in an Animated Program.

Plot
Batman follows a strange trail of heists at various GothCorp offices, all by the same man: Mr. Freeze, a strange individual clad in a powerful suit and armed with a "freezing gun", a weapon that fires a beam capable of freezing anything into sheets of ice. Batman pieces together the stolen items and discovers that Freeze is building a massive ice cannon that is nearly complete, save for a single vital piece of equipment from GothCorp. Acting rapidly, he arrives at the GothCorp offices in time to engage Mr. Freeze, only to be partially frozen by him. As Freeze and his henchmen escape, he orders they leave behind one of their own, his legs accidentally frozen by Freeze's weapon. Batman chooses to help the man rather than chase Freeze.

After using a special chemical bath to revive the man, Batman (who has himself developed a cold from the encounter) visits GothCorp CEO Ferris Boyle as Bruce Wayne, hoping to learn who might have a grudge against the company. Boyle says the only person he can think of is dead: a former employee and research scientist whose funding was cut. He apparently died in a laboratory accident. Later that night, during a dinner where Boyle is to be presented with a humanitarian prize, Batman sneaks into the GothCorp security offices, and finds a tape from the accident. It is a recording of an experiment conducted by cryogenics scientist Victor Fries. He has placed his terminally ill wife Nora in cryogenic stasis until he can find a cure for her condition. Boyle arrives and orders the experiment to be ended, claiming it is unauthorized and draining his company's funds. Boyle ignores Fries' warning that turning off the equipment would sentence her to death. In the ensuing scuffle, Boyle kicks Fries into a table of cryonic chemicals. As Batman watches the tape, Mr. Freeze (now revealed to be Fries himself having survived the accident) sneaks up behind him and captures him with his cold gun. Freeze confirms to Batman that the accident left him unable to live outside of sub-zero conditions. Batman tries to reason with Freeze over how Freeze intends to destroy the man who ruined his life, even if anyone else gets killed in the process, but Freeze refuses to give up his plan.

Leaving Batman, Freeze arrives with his completed cannon at the humanitarian prize dinner. He fires the immense weapon at the building, slowly freezing it from bottom to top. After Batman escapes from captivity and attacks the cannon, Mr. Freeze kicks open a fire hydrant and freezes the water to get to the floor where Boyle is. Once there, he freezes Boyle from the waist down before Batman intervenes. Freeze ends up overpowering Batman until he takes a thermos filled with hot chicken soup (which Alfred had provided for his cold) and breaks it on Freeze's helmet to shatter it and induce thermal shock. Afterwards, Batman hands over the tape with the evidence of Boyle's crimes to Summer Gleeson, and leaves the still half-frozen Boyle with a disgusted sneer — "Goodnight... humanitarian."

Freeze is taken to Arkham Asylum and put in a sub-zero cell designed to hold him. The episode ends with Freeze tearfully gazing at a music box of Nora and begging her forgiveness for, in his revenge-driven mind, failing to avenge her, while Batman watches sympathetically from outside.

Production
This is the first episode of the series directed by Bruce Timm and written by Paul Dini. Timm first thought of Anthony Hopkins and Anthony Zerbe to play Mr. Freeze, but later came up with Michael Ansara to voice the character. Ansara initially clashed with Timm, who wanted Freeze to sound like a robot, without showing any emotion; Ansara said that this would make the character sound too flat. He eventually found the right voice, however.

Batman says "My God!" while watching the tape, which was unusual in a cartoon, as the censors considered any mention of religion or any expletive inappropriate. Timm mentioned on the DVD commentary for the episode that he considers it strange they never caught it. When Toon Disney aired this episode, the network removed the phrase. They also removed Freeze's line, "I'd kill for that."

The planned ending was to have a weeping Freeze in his cell, with his tears freezing and turning into snowflakes. Timm and Dini mentioned that if they could go back and do any episode again, they would do "Heart of Ice" and would include this. It was, however, used in the film Batman & Robin.

The police officer in the scene which introduces Mr. Freeze was voiced by Bob Hastings, who voiced Commissioner Gordon. Mark Hamill, who voiced Ferris Boyle here, later made the first of many appearances as the Joker in the DC Animated Universe. He originally got the role of Boyle and offered to play one of the villains. When Tim Curry dropped out of the role of the Joker, Hamill got the part.

Legacy
In February 2002, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series, polls were held at the website The World's Finest to determine the best episode of the show. "Heart of Ice" was the winner and so received its own subsite, complete with exclusive comments on the episode provided by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini and other officials behind the show. In 2005, Wizard Magazine selected this episode as the best of the series.

This episode is widely considered the best individual episode of Batman: The Animated Series. Some fans considered the execution for "Heart of Ice" to be "nearly flawless," with both comic and animation fans appreciating the revamp of the Mr. Freeze character. This episode provided such a burst in the popularity of the character that his comics' counterpart had his origins retconned to more closely resemble this episode. This brought about his resurrection in the comics and introduced Nora Fries to the comics as well. His origin was also used in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, which featured Mr. Freeze as one of its primary villains.

The episode was included among the extra features of the two-disc and Blu-ray editions of the film Batman: Gotham Knight.

The plot and premise of the episode are integrated into Mr. Freeze's origin in the 2011 video game Batman: Arkham City (also written by Paul Dini) - in one of his interview tapes with Hugo Strange, Freeze recounts the events that led him to become a supervillain and the story closely resembles the episode. The 2014 Batman: Arkham Origins DLC campaign "Cold, Cold Heart" incorporated several elements of "Heart of Ice" like Ferris Boyle.

In Injustice 2, Mr. Freeze (who is a special skin of fellow ice villain Captain Cold) alludes heavily to the episode, mentioning how he misses being able to feel and also how determined he is to cure Nora's condition.

WNYF-TV

WNYF-TV is the student-run TV station of the State University of New York at Fredonia. Sponsored by the Student Association, WNYF was founded in 1979 by two communications students, Robert Raff and Ken Kazubowski. At the time, the TV and Radio majors (BA) were classified under Special Studies, and students developed a custom degree program. Students were limited in hands-on time in the existing black and white studio, and the color studio controlled by the IRC was often booked for months at a time. WNYF immediately gave students enhanced opportunities to develop the necessary skills to excel in the TV industry.

The original student leaders, along with John Malcolm and engineer Bob Kovacs, were able to locate surplus video equipment scattered across the many departments of the college. Negotiations, trades and some "midnight raids" produced almost enough equipment to get the station running. The only piece missing was a small master control switcher, which was purchased with the very first funding from the Student Association.

WNYF's original local programming included a wide variety of student produced programs ranging from entertainment, music, educational and even a student-written soap opera. In the station's first few months of existence, it began televising the annual dance marathon known as Superdance. The event raised funds for Muscular Dystrophy. The around-the-clock coverage of the dance raised the awareness and prestige of this event and substantially increased participation over the next few years.

WNYF maintains an archive of every show produced by the students since then. Relocated several times, WNYF settled into its current location in State University of New York at Hendrix Hall in 1997. WNYF broadcasts to the campus on cable Channel 11, and to community on Channels 17 in Fredonia and 19 in Dunkirk. The station also uploads every episode to their [[YouTube channel.

Sultiame

Sultiame (or sulthiame) is a sulfonamide and inhibitor of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. It is used as an anticonvulsant.

History
Sultiame was first synthesised in the laboratories of Bayer AG in the mid-1950s and eventually launched as Ospolot in Europe and other markets the early 1960s. It never became a registered drug in the United States. The brand was transferred to Desitin GmbH in 1993 and is sold in several European countries, in Israel, Japan, and Australia.

Sultiame became established as a second-line drug for treatment of partial epilepsy in the 1960s and 1970s and was often used in combination with the established anticonvulsant phenytoin. Temporal lobe seizures appeared particularly responsive to sultiame. Doubts subsequently arose as to whether sultiame has intrinsic anticonvulsant properties. After discovering sultiame's ability to raise the blood levels of phenytoin, it was assumed that sultiame would only act in combination with phenytoin. This finding, together with the equivocal results of a study in the US, resulted in a quick decline of sultiame's use. It was only in 1988, that the German child neurologist Hermann Doose discovered its specific effects in benign focal epilepsies of childhood. Today, sulthiame is the drug of choice for benign focal epilepsies of childhood (such as benign rolandic epilepsy) in the German-speaking countries and Israel.

Indications
Historically, sultiame has been used to treat partial seizures. In Australia, it is currently registered for behavioural disorders associated with epilepsy; hyperkinetic behaviour; temporal lobe epilepsy; myoclonic seizures; grand mal attacks; and Jacksonian seizures. In contrast to other sulfonamide drugs, sultiame is devoid of antibacterial activity.

Adverse effects
The more common adverse effects are ataxia, paraesthesia of face and limbs, hyperpnoea, dyspnoea, and anorexia. Less common adverse effects include giddiness, rash, Stevens–Johnson syndrome, nausea, weight loss, leukopenia, headache, psychic changes, depression, drooling, increased pain, frequency of fits, insomnia, status epilepticus. Disturbances in calcium and vitamin D metabolism have been occasionally reported after long-term use.

Interactions
Sultiame taken together with primidone may lead to severe side-effects, including psychotic reactions. The addition of sulthiame to phenytoin therapy has shown to be followed by a rise in the serum levels of phenytoin. Sultiame may also lead to a rise of phenobarbitone blood levels. Alcohol must not be consumed during treatment.

Overdose
Vomiting, hypotension, headache, vertigo, ataxia, metabolic acidosis with hyperpnoea and catatonic state may occur. There is no specific antidote. It is not known whether dialysis may help in case of overdose.

Synthesis

Sulfanilamide can be reacted with ω-chlorobutylsulfonyl chloride and aqueous sodium carbonate to form the presumed intermediate (middle), which spontaneously cyclizes to give the drug.

Talk:Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885

There needs to be a sentence explaining what the "oath clause" actually did. Presumably it made it possible for child victims to give evidence in court, but it doesn't say so. Please clarify.
 * This particular clause stemmed from the belief that a young child did not have the ability to understand the nature or gravity of an oath and therefore not allowed to present evidence on his or her behalf. While this restriction was intended to protect individuals from frivolous cases based on the unreliable evidence of a child that could not be held accountable for perjury, this "reasoning" qualification hampered the pursuit and conviction of child molestation cases. The "oath clause" freed them from this qualification.  17:11, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Omission of lesbianism
It's commonly claimed that the bill omits lesbianism because Queen Victoria didn't believe it existed. AFAIK that's a myth, but it comes up often enough that it might be worth explicitly answering this story and explaining the actual reasons. --Calair 00:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Meaning of sentence
Cool article :) Just wondering how to punctuate this sentence for greater clarity: Social Purity groups like the Society for the Suppression of Vice and Feminists led by Josephine Butler focused on the evils of child prostitution as the chief factor in the sexual exploitation of the young.

Do we mean: Social Purity groups like 'the Society for the Suppression of Vice and Feminists', led by Josephine Butler, focused on the evils of child prostitution as the chief factor in the sexual exploitation of the young.

Or do we mean: Social Purity groups like 'the Society for the Suppression of Vice', and Feminists led by Josephine Butler, focused on the evils of child prostitution as the chief factor in the sexual exploitation of the young.

Garci López de Padilla

Garci López de Padilla was a Spanish noble of the House of Padilla. He was the fifteenth Grand Master of the Order of Calatrava from 1296 to 1322. He is best known for his command of the Castilian forces at the Siege of Gibraltar and his participation in the greater campaign against the Kingdom of Granada undertaken by Ferdinand IV of Castile in 1309.

The Siege of Gibraltar became one of the only successful achievements in the entire campaign undertaken by Ferdinand IV as the other main objective of taking the city of Algeciras turned into a quagmire and the king was obliged to lift the siege.

Kevin Maurice Johnson (born March 4, 1966) is the current mayor of Sacramento, the capital city of the U.S. state of California. Elected in 2008 and reelected in 2012, Johnson is the first African-American and native Sacramentan to hold the position. Prior to entering politics, Johnson was a professional basketball player in the NBA, playing point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns. During his career, Johnson was a three-time NBA All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection, along with holding numerous records for the Phoenix Suns organization. At the University of California, Berkeley, Johnson was named a two-time All-Pac-10 Conference player and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press. Johnson founded the St. HOPE Academy, a nonprofit community development corporation focused on education, in 1989.

Early life
Johnson, the son of Georgia West and Lawrence Johnson, was born on March 4, 1966 in Sacramento. After Johnson’s father drowned in an accident on the Sacramento River, he was raised by his grandparents, the Peat family. He attended Sacramento High School, where he starred in both baseball and basketball. In his senior year, Johnson led the state of California in scoring (32.5 ppg) and was named the Northern California Player of the Year.

University of California, Berkeley
Johnson accepted a scholarship to play basketball for the University of California, Berkeley. As a four year starter, Johnson ended his college basketball career in 1987 as the school’s all-time leader in assists, steals, and scoring (since eclipsed by Lamond Murray and Jerome Randle). Johnson was named to the Pac-10’s all-conference First Team in his junior and senior seasons, averaging 17.2 points and 5.0 assists in his final year. He was the first player in the Pac-10 Conference to post a triple-double in statistics. He led Cal to the program’s first post-season appearances in 26 seasons with NIT bids in 1986 and 1987. In 1992 Johnson became the first Bear to have his jersey (number 11) retired. Johnson briefly played for Cal’s baseball team and was drafted by the Oakland Athletics as a shortstop in the 23rd round of the 1986 MLB Draft. After playing a couple games with Oakland’s minor-league team in Modesto, California during the summer of 1986, Johnson ended his baseball career, finding the road to professional baseball more risky and difficult.

Phoenix Suns
Following his senior season of college basketball, Johnson was selected as a lottery pick, going seventh overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1987 NBA Draft. Originally drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers to challenge the incumbent point guard Mark Price of Georgia Tech for the starting spot, Johnson found himself playing limited minutes as Price’s backup during the 1987-88 NBA season. On February 28, 1988, Johnson (along with teammates Mark West and Tyrone Corbin) was traded to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for the forward Larry Nance, Mike Sanders, and a future draft pick. Phoenix also received a draft pick in the trade – one that was used the next season to select the future stalwart swingman Dan Majerle. Adjusting quickly to the change of scenery and increased playing time, Johnson excelled and was named the NBA Rookie of the Month for April 1988, averaging 15.1 points, 86.4% from the free-throw line, 10.6 assists, and 5.6 rebounds. The next year in his first full season with Phoenix, Johnson grew into one of the game’s elite players, averaging 20.4 points, 12.2 assists, 50.5% from the field, and 88.2% from the free-throw line. With those numbers, Johnson joined Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas as the only players in NBA history to average at least 20 points and 12 assists in a season. His rapid improvement earned him the 1988-89 NBA’s Most Improved Player Award. The 1988-89 campaign was the first of three straight seasons in which Johnson averaged at least 20 points and 10 assists, joining Oscar Robertson and Isiah Thomas as the only players in league history to accomplish that feat. Johnson was selected to the NBA All-Star Team in 1990, 1991, and 1994 and made the playoffs every year of his career after his rookie season, reversing the fortunes of the perennially losing Phoenix Suns. Johnson started the 1991 All-Star Game in Charlotte alongside Magic Johnson in the Western Conference backcourt and in anticipation of the game, the Sporting News asked whether Johnson may have surpassed Magic as the best player on the court. The previous spring in the 1990 Western Conference Semifinals, Johnson led the Suns past Magic’s league-best, 63-win Lakers, four games to one. Johnson closed out the series by averaging 33.5 points and 12.0 assists as the Suns won both Game 4 and Game 5. Johnson turned in clutch performances to garner the attention of leading Hall of Fame center and NBC commentator Bill Walton who remarked, “Kevin Johnson…really came to the top of this league in the 1990 playoffs when he waxed Magic Johnson and the Lakers in the early rounds. Kevin Johnson – and the Suns – taking care of business in 1990, four to one over the Lakers… Kevin Johnson just totally outplaying Magic.” Johnson’s performance led the Suns to a second consecutive berth in the Western Conference Finals. Johnson wore number 41 for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game instead of his familiar number 7. NBC announcers Bob Costas and Mike Fratello speculated it was to honor teammate Mark West, who was not selected to participate in the 40th All-Star Game despite his valuable contributions on the boards and in the trenches for the Suns. The 1992-93 Suns, led by Johnson and new teammate Charles Barkley, posted an NBA-best 62-20 record. Narrowly escaping first round elimination versus the Los Angeles Lakers, the 1993 Suns managed to make it to the NBA Finals, where they fell to the Chicago Bulls four games to two. Johnson would suffer two undiagnosed hernia between 1993 and 1996, and was forced to undergo surgery, causing him to miss 109 regular season games but only missed 1 playoff game. He suffered one of the hernias in the 1993 preseason when he attempted to lift hefty [arguably obese] teammate Oliver Miller off the floor, accounting for most of his 33 missed games that regular season. Johnson averaged 17.8 points and 7.9 assists in the playoffs and established an NBA record for Finals minutes played by logging 62 minutes in Game 3 (a 129-121 triple-OT victory) vs. the Bulls. In 1995, the injury-prone Johnson was again slowed by injury but returned to form for the postseason, averaging 24.8 points on 57.3% from the field and 9.3 assists in 10 games, including a 46-point, 10-assist effort in a 115-114 Game 7 loss to the eventual champion Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Semifinals. In Game 4 of the previous year’s series with Houston, Johnson completed a remarkable play, driving the baseline and dunking over 7’0” Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon. The shot became an oft-played highlight for the ages and was part of a second consecutive 38-point, 12-assist effort by the point guard.

International Competition
In addition to his NBA career, Johnson played with the U.S. National Team in the 1994 FIBA World Championship, reuniting with old teammate and rival Mark Price to win the gold medal. Johnson led Dream Team II in both total assists (31) and assists per game (3.9), while shooting 47.1% from the field.

Retirement and Comeback
Johnson retired after the 1997-98 season, but returned briefly during the 1999-2000 campaign to replace the injured Jason Kidd during the playoff run. Johnson helped the Suns win their first playoff series in five years. After Phoenix lost in the second round to the Los Angeles Lakers, Johnson retired for the second and final time.

The Kevin Johnson Corporation
Following his initial retirement from the NBA, Johnson completed his B.A. in Political Science from U.C. Berkeley. Johnson is also a 2000 graduate of the Harvard Divinity School Summer Leadership Institute, a program that prepares students for work in faith-based urban economic revitalization. As president and CEO of The Kevin Johnson Corporation, Johnson oversees the operations of several subsidiary organizations specializing in real estate development and management, sports management, and business acquisition. A key component of The Kevin Johnson Corporation includes appearances and public speaking engagements for corporations, academic institutions, and community organizations. Johnson founded the St. Hope Academy in 1989 and served as its CEO until January 2008. St. HOPE is a nonprofit community development corporation whose mission is to revitalize communities through public education, civic leadership, economic development, and the arts. In 2003, St. HOPE formed St. HOPE Public Schools, a pre-K-12 independent charter school system that provides education to nearly 2,000 students in seven small schools.

Election for Mayor’s Office of Sacramento
On March 5, 2008, Johnson announced he would challenge incumbent Heather Fargo for mayor of his hometown Sacramento. Election day was June 3, 2008. Johnson garnered the endorsement of the Sacramento Police Officers Association (SPOA), the Sacramento Area Firefighters Local 522, the Sacramento Regional Builders Exchange, the Chamber of Commerce, Realtors’ Association and Labor Council, among others. Johnson was also endorsed by Sacramento City Council members Steve Cohn (Vice Mayor) and Sandy Sheedy, and by former Sacramento Mayor Jimmie Yee. Johnson loaned his campaign $500,000 and raised $800,000, while Fargo raised $340,000 despite having started fundraising in 2005. With all precincts counted, Johnson was ahead of two-time incumbent Mayor Heather Fargo 46% to 39%. Five other candidates split the rest of the vote. The candidates needed more than 50% to win the election so a run-off was forced.

2008 Primary Election for Mayor of Sacramento
Johnson and Fargo had a runoff election in November, won by Johnson. Johnson and Fargo were forced into a run-off when neither received more than 50% of the vote.

2008 Runoff Election for Mayor of Sacramento
Johnson defeated Fargo in the run-off election held in November.

First Term
Johnson was elected Mayor with the vision of making Sacramento “a city that works for everyone.”

Education
In 2009 Johnson launched the STAND UP education initiative to increase student achievement in Sacramento schools. $6 million has been raised to bring education reform and innovative programming to Sacramento. In 2011 Johnson launched another education initiative, Sacramento READS!, in response to the literary crisis in Sacramento. Designed as a 10-year initiative beginning in 2011, Sacramento READS! attempts to ensure all children in Sacramento can read at grade level by the end of 3rd grade through school readiness, attendance, and limiting summer learning loss. Johnson’s efforts on the education front have Sacramento as one of 32 finalists for the distinction of an All-America City 2012 based on its proposal to improve third grade reading. In 2010 Johnson was the Founding Chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Public Schools Task Force and the Co-Chair of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s Mayoral Advisory Council.

Public Safety
The Gang Prevention Task Force was launched in 2011 forming a three year city-county partnership to reduce gang violence through school-based and job-training programs. Johnson acquired over $17 million in federal and state stimulus dollars for law enforcement and community policing.

Economic Development
Johnson has secured over $500 million in investment and recovery funds for the Sacramento region that has allowed for the revitalization across the central city and the K Street Mall. Johnson has also overseen progress at the downtown Railyards that have been left unutilized since the 1980s and is currently the largest urban infill project in the country. Johnson seeks to use the space as the site of a new entertainment and sports complex.

Sacramento Kings
Johnson led the efforts to keep the NBA’s Kings in Sacramento. In 2010 Johnson launched a regional initiative to create a new downtown entertainment and sports complex (ESC) to replace the outdated Power Balance Pavillion. A new ESC was claimed to create $7 billion in revenue and 4,100 new jobs in the Sacramento region. Following the completion of the 2010-11 NBA season, the Sacramento Kings filed relocation papers and appeared to be headed to Anaheim. However, with a last-second pitch to the NBA Board of Governors in April 2011 where Johnson presented more than $10 million in commitments from regional businesses, the league granted Sacramento another year to reach a deal. Vowing to complete the ESC with no cost to taxpayers, Johnson came to a tentative agreement in February 2012 with NBA commissioner David Stern and the Maloof family, the Kings’ owners, for an estimated $387 million arena. However, this deal fell apart as the Maloofs took issue with some of the terms of the original deal, particularly environmental and pre-development costs that constituted less than 1% of the project’s cost.

Emerald Valley
In an attempt to diversify economic development and go green, Johnson seeks to promote Sacramento as the “Emerald Valley.” Johnson secured $100 million in private funding to create 1,500 new jobs retrofitting commercial buildings and Sacramento was selected by President Obama as one of five cities to participate in the Better Buildings Challenge which provides federal investment to achieve energy efficiency.

Arts
Johnson has made efforts to promote the expansion of funding and participation in local art throughout Sacramento. In response to the interest in arts, Sacramento was chosen by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. as the first city in the nation to pilot the “Any Given Child” program, which is designed to bring equal access to arts programming for children K-8. It currently operates in Sacramento Unified and Twin Rivers Unified School Districts.

Civic Engagement
Volunteer Sacramento was launched to encourage volunteerism and coincided with Cities of Service, a bipartisan coalition of mayors founded in 2009 by 17 mayors from cities around the nation, including Mayor Johnson. In 2009, volunteers across the city logged 1.7 million hours of service, doubling the initial goal of 500,000 hours and creating $22 million in economic impact. In 2010, 3 million hours of service were logged, adding a $70 million economic impact in the region. For these efforts, Sacramento was awarded a City of Service Leadership Grant.

Homelessness
Johnson assumed leadership as Chair of the Regional Policy Board to End Homelessness and joined the United States Conference of Mayors’ national task force on Hunger and Homelessness in 2009. By 2010, 1,560 households were moved into permanent housing and Johnson acquired $5 million in federal funding for the Homlessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program.

Reelection 2012
Kevin Johnson announced he would run for reelection for Mayor of Sacramento on September 14, 2011. Election day was June 5, 2012. Johnson was challenged by three individuals: Jonathan Michael Rewers, Municipal Finance Manager, Leonard Padilla, Bounty Hunter, and Richard Jones, Insurance Broker. Since Johnson received a majority of the vote (more than 50% of the vote), no run-off was required. Johnson raised at least $841,394 in his reelection bid and spent $500,000 of that on the race. Johnson was endorsed by Sacramento City Council members Angelique Ashby (Vice Mayor), Steve Cohn, and Jay Schenirer. Johnson also received support from the Sacramento Police Officers Association, the Sacramento Area Firefighters Local 522, and the Sacramento Metro Chamber along with California Senate pro Tem President Darrell Steinberg, Governor Jerry Brown, and Senator Dianne Feinstein.

2012 Primary Election for Mayor of Sacramento
Johnson defeated the three candidates with 58.74% of the votes.

Leadership Roles and Accolades
In June 2012 Johnson was elected the Second Vice President of the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM). He became the first Sacramento mayor to be elected to the Second Vice President position and will be the first Sacramento mayor to serve as President, which he is set to assume in 2014. This represented the second national leadership position Johnson assumed in 2012, as he was previously elected to the First Vice President of the National Conference of Black Mayors, where he will assume the presidency in 2013. Johnson has served on the board of directors for the University of California Alumni Association, Phoenix Suns Charities, Christian Athlete Ministries, Phoenix Symphony, the School House Foundation, Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG), and on the advisory board for the Caring Institute.

Johnson has received numerous awards for his dedication and contributions to his community. In 1991, Former President George H.W. Bush honored Johnson with as the 411th Point of Light recipient in recognition of Johnson’s concern and compassion for children and education. In addition to being selected as one of the “15 Greatest Men on Earth” by McCall's, Johnson has received the NBA’s J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, the John R. Wooden Lifetime Achievement Award 2008, the Good Morning America Award from Sports Illustrated, the “Most Caring American” award by the Caring Institute, and induction into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame in Boise, Idaho.

Sexual Assault and Harassment Allegations
During the summer of 1995, a 16-year-old girl alleged that Johnson had groped her. Johnson apologized to the girl when he was confronted by her with the accusation during a phone conversation recorded by Phoenix police. However, he also stated that “what you’re saying happened, I’m not entirely agreeing happened.” The Sacramento Bee stated that they had received a copy of a proposed settlement agreement, under which Johnson would have paid the girl’s family $230,000. After conducting an investigation, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute, on the grounds that there was not a reasonable likelihood of conviction.

High School Investigation
On April 16, 2008, rival mayoral candidate Leonard Padilla distributed a 2007 report of similar allegations made against Johnson at St. HOPE Sacramento High School. The allegations were investigated by local police, but no charges were filed, and the alleged victim recanted her story. On April 29, 2008, a group of female civic leaders including former Sacramento Mayor Anne Rudin, Sacramento Municipal Utility District board member Genevieve Shiroma, and former State Senator Deborah Ortiz demanded the release of the police report on the matter. The teacher to whom the student initially brought the complaint subsequently resigned over the incident, claiming, “St. HOPE sought to intimidate the student through an illegal interrogation and even had the audacity to ask me to change my story.” Sacramento Police Chief Rick Braziel responded, saying, “I think the allegations at the school were handled in the way that you would want them handled. Immediately they followed all the normal protocols that they were supposed to follow. I think it was pretty clear there was nothing there… We did ask the young lady whether anyone influenced her – her answer was no.” The Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinness said on May 30, 2008, that Johnson’s actions, though ill-advised, were not illegal.

St. HOPE Academy’s Alleged Misuse of AmeriCorps Funds
On April 9, 2009, Acting U.S. Attorney Lawrence G. Brown announced that St. HOPE Academy had agreed to pay $423,836.50 over ten years in settlement of allegations that it did not appropriately spend AmeriCorps grants and education awards and did not adequately document spending of grants. The settlement amount represented one-half of the $847,673 in AmeriCorps funds received by St. HOPE Academy over three years from 2004 to 2007. Johnson, St. HOPE Academy’s founder and former CEO, agreed to pay $72,836.50 of St. HOPE Academy’s $73,836.50 initial payment. In settlement, St. HOPE Academy acknowledged not adequately documenting a portion of its AmeriCorps grant expenditures, and the Corporation for National and Community Service terminated its September 24, 2008 suspension of St. HOPE Academy and Johnson from receiving federal funds, ending questions about Sacramento’s eligibility to receive federal stimulus funds.

Personal life
Johnson married Michelle Rhee, the former Chancellor of the District of Columbia School System, on September 3, 2011, in front of 40 people at a Tennessee mountain resort. They had originally planned to get married the year before, but decided to postpose it in the wake of a large amount of media attention to their nuptials.

Enzymology

Enzymology is the study of enzymes, their kinetics, structure, and function, as well as their relation to each other.

In the diagram on the right, hexokinase is displayed as an opaque surface with a pronounced open binding cleft next to an unbound substrate (top) and the same enzyme with more closed cleft that surrounds the bound substrate (bottom). The enzyme changes shape by induced fit upon substrate binding to form an enzyme-substrate complex. Hexokinase has a large induced fit motion that closes over the substrates adenosine triphosphate and xylose. Binding sites in blue, substrates in black and Mg2+ cofactor in yellow.

Biochemistry
A classification of enzymes includes
 * 1) hydrolases,
 * carbohydrases,
 * nucleases,
 * amidases,
 * purine deaminases,
 * peptidases,
 * proteinases,
 * esterases,
 * iron enzymes,
 * copper enzymes,
 * enzymes containing co-enzymes 1 and/or 2,
 * yellow enzymes

2. hydrases,

3. mutases,

4. desmolases,

5. other enzymes, and

6. polysaccharide-synthesizing enzymes.

Enzymes
Def. A substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. a "globular protein that catalyses a biological chemical reaction enzymes are biological catalyst that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction ss" is called an enzyme.

Theoretical enzymology
Def. a science "that studies enzymes" is called enzymology.

Electromagnetics
A "new enzymology develops around the organic liquids more favorable in the THz frequencies. ... The design of such microfluidic hioMEMS should answer to a good microfluidic and electromagnetic propagation, and should have an antiseptic character."

Hypotheses

 * 1) Enzymology through varied gene expression may hold the key to reversing deleterious gene expression.

File talk:PicassoGuernica.jpg

this is a cropped image... there is a depiction of a person burning to death in a house to the right which has been clipped out, i will look for a more accurate version, or if somebody else could, that would be great. why have the image if a quarter of it is missing.

Fair-use rationale of Guernica for the article Suffering
The article Suffering covers the whole range of all possible sufferings. Guernica has this unique quality of depicting subtile and conspicuous mental and physical suffering in humans and animals. Thus, the painting illustrates the abstract concept of suffering like no other image can do, especially for the visually inclined readers. --Robert Daoust 20:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No other painting in the history of art can illustrate the subject equally? Even if you consider that to be true, it's a matter of opinion, and not sufficient to override the copyright owner's rights.  I'm going to remove the fair use rationale as I find it invalid.  Powers T 18:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I do consider that to be true, but your argument of insufficiency is clear and fair enough. Ciao. --Robert Daoust (talk) 19:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Copyright??
How is this possible? this image belongs to the Spanish Government and the people of Spain. David (talk) 07:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Do you have any evidence that the painting is not copyrighted, as all other contemporary works of art are? — Carl (CBM · talk) 11:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * The US government is unusual in that its works (generally) aren't copyrighted; even there, they can hold donated copyrights.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Merge
Shouldn't the article Flag of Bikini Atoll be merged with Flag of Bikini? It seems as if the two articles are almost identical in content and format. Why are there two articles on, well, the same exact thing? If no one responds within a few days, then I will merge anyway because it seems like a no-brainer. SeanMD80 03:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Discuss:

No one replied, so I merged them.

Clarity
This pair of sentences don't make sense:

 * The Marshallese language words on the bottom of the flag, "MEN OTEMJEJ REJ ILO BEIN ANIJ" (in the new orthography, "MEN WŌTŌMJEJ REJ ILO PEIN ANIJ"), reportedly represent the words spoken in 1946 by the Bikinian leader, Juda, to U.S. Commodore Ben Wyatt when the American went to Bikini to ask the islanders to give up their islands for the 'good of all mankind' for nuclear weapons testing. Soon after General Blake denied this request under the advisement of Senator Beihoff.

Denied what request? Who is General Blake? How does he figure into this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:23, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Lin Kuan rebellion

The Lin Kuan rebellion (林寬起義) was an insurrection by the Kam people in the mountainous regions of southern Huguang, due to the confiscation of their land by the Ming dynasty. The rebellion lasted only one year before their leader, Lin Kuan, was killed in October 1397.

Background
After the Wu Mian rebellion was defeated in 1385, 32,000 Ming soldiers came to settle in their land. This sparked a rebellion in 1397.

Rebellion
Lin Kuan's rebel army was initially successful, but the Ming continued to reinforce their army and soon the rebels were left with no option but to hide and attack from the densely forested hills. Villages which did not cooperate with the Ming soldiers were massacred. Lin Kuan and his men eventually found themselves surrounded by Ming troops on a mountain-top. According to Kam folklore, Lin Kuan planted an upside down fir sapling, saying that if it lived, then they too shall live. The sapling sprouted after two days, giving the rebels the courage to attack a weak point in the enemy ranks, breaking out. Despite the momentary success, Lin Kuan was captured and executed in October 1397.

Aftermath
During the short duration of the rebellion, 21,500 Kam and Miao people were killed.

Talk:Dave Dederer

Reddit reference
How relevent is this, really? Is it even confirmed that he did answer questions on reddit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:04, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

It was indeed confirmed. Moderators of /r/IamA confirmed it here in response to a request for confirmation. He indeed was responding to answers. Answers are plentiful and thorough. I don't know if he will continue to answer to this thread, however. His parting words (edit to the topic description) seem to imply he wont. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
