Bill Evo (born February 21, 1954) is an American lawyer. He is a former professional ice hockey player and a past president of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League.

Evo played major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the Peterborough Petes from 1971 to 1974. He was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the 3rd round (45th overall) of the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft, and was also drafted by the Cincinnati Stingers in the 2nd round (22nd overall) of the 1974 WHA Secret Amateur Draft. Between 1974 and 1976, Evo played 97 games in the World Hockey Association, scoring 14 goals and 18 assists for 32 points, while earning 85 penalty minutes.

Evo went on to graduate from the University of Western Ontario, and earned his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Detroit Law School.

Evo was appointed the president of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League in September 1995, but resigned on July 23, 1996, after serving just 10 months at the Red Wing's helm.

Bill (weapon)

The bill is a polearm weapon used by infantry in medieval Europe. The bill is similar in size, function and appearance to the halberd, differing mainly in the hooked blade form. Other terms for the bill include English bill, bill hook or bill-guisarme.

Design

Derived originally from the agricultural billhook, the bill consisted of a hooked chopping blade with several pointed projections mounted on a staff. The end of the cutting blade curves forward to form a hook, which is the bill's distinguishing characteristic. In addition, the blade almost universally had one pronounced spike straight off the top like a spear head, and also a hook or spike mounted on the 'reverse' side of the blade. There were many types of bill. English bills tended to be relatively short, with broad chopping heads, while Italian bills (ronche) often had very long thrusting points. The English distinguished between several varieties of bill, including the black, brown and forest bills, but the differences between them are currently not fully understood.

List of unidentified decedents in the United States

An unidentified decedent, or UID, is a deceased person whose legal identity is unable to be determined by law enforcement. Although the majority of UIDs are identified soon after their bodies are recovered, it is not uncommon for bodies to remain unidentified for years or even decades. There are approximately 40,000 unidentified decedents in the United States at any given time.

A deceased body can be identified in several different ways. Most commonly, a relative of the deceased identifies the body by sight. However, if a body is heavily decomposed, skeletal, or unrecognizable due to severe facial trauma at the time of recovery, other methods must be used. Some other common modes of identification include fingerprints, dental records, chest x-rays, and as a last resort, comparing the deceased's DNA to the DNA sequence of a genetically close relative such as a parent or sibling. In some cases, circumstantial evidence can be used to formally identify a body; for example, if the deceased has a driver's license on their person, or is found deceased on their own property after going missing, those context clues can be used to make an identification. Since identification of a deceased individual is a legal matter, officials require a high degree of certainty in order to make a formal identification.

Evo is a British automobile magazine dedicated to performance cars, from hot hatches to supercars.

History and profile

The first issue was produced in November 1998 as an unofficial successor to the monthly motoring magazine Performance Car, which had been closed and integrated into Car magazine by publisher Emap. "Evo" is published 13 times a year and is part of the Dennis Publishing stable of magazines. The Evo offices are situated in Wollaston, Northamptonshire. The magazine is edited by Nick Trott.

Much of what Evo is today has evolved from Performance Car. Writers such as Richard Meaden, David Vivian, John Barker (motoring journalist), and Peter Tomalin are some of the familiar faces who worked on both titles. Henry Catchpole and Jethro Bovingdon are now also regular test drivers and features writers. Russell Bulgin also contributed to the magazine. Nick Trott is evo's current editor, with former editors including Peter Tomalin, John Barker and Richard Meaden. Harry Metcalfe, who also served as editor, is the editorial director and founder.
