Graph-structured stack

In computer science, a graph-structured stack (GSS) is a directed acyclic graph where each directed path represents a stack. The graph-structured stack is an essential part of Tomita's algorithm, where it replaces the usual stack of a pushdown automaton. This allows the algorithm to encode the nondeterministic choices in parsing an ambiguous grammar, sometimes with greater efficiency.

In the following diagram, there are four stacks: {7,3,1,0}, {7,4,1,0}, {7,5,2,0}, and {8,6,2,0}.
 * [[Image:Graph-structured_stack_-_Borneq.png|400px|Graph-structured_stack_-_Borneq.png]]

Another way to simulate nondeterminism would be to duplicate the stack as needed. The duplication would be less efficient since vertices would not be shared. For this example, 16 vertices would be needed instead of 9.

Talk:Iridology/Archive 6

removed facts
' According to Dan Waniek, he -- along with Mircea Olteanu, Dan Jipa, and Stefan Stangaciu, in conjunction with the Computer Vision Research Group -- have spent 20 years studying experimental trans-iridial light therapy, in Romania. This claim has been partially substantiated by Vincenzo Di Spazio, "At the end of the 1980s, an evocative hypothesis was advanced on the part of iridologist and chronobiologist Dr. Dan Waniek, who postulated a non-visual function of the eye which he referred to as "Functio ocularis sistemica" (PHOS)." (2000) '

 * I have not seen any convincing reason for removing these facts, which are quite helpful to those researching this topic (which would apparently be theresa knot, mr. waniek and adam, and prob nobody else ;) Sam Spade 06:28, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * Indeed, if this is verifiable I can't see how it would hurt the article in general.--User:192.94.73.4

 * The concern is that wikipedia could be used to provide the appearance of legitimacy where it may not be warranted. It's a tough issue, since it often involves judgement calls, but I think we should err on the side of caution - if there are serious questions, leave it out. After all, there are people out there who have spent 20 years studying alien abductions and "NASA's faked moon landing" and have developed evocative hypohteses by the boatload, but we don't give each one of them a paragraph (at least, I hope not) - DavidWBrooks 15:50, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * I don't find it questionable they've spent 20 years studying iridology resulting in only two publishable papers, one of which was sent to a pay-to-publish journal (Med.Hypoth.) Full articles have been already given to true nutcases such as Archimedes Plutonium -- the precedent is there already. As long as the information is not misleading (such as listing essays as publications), I don't see how the information above would hurt the iridology article. The message it communicates is clear: "20 years and still not much on hand".--192.94.73.4 22:35, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * While your basic point (the utter unimportance of the information in question) is well taken, including it would harm the article in the same way that listing the batting averages of Little League Baseball players in an article about baseball would be: it suggests it is important information, and it is not. It distracts from understanding: it does not add to understanding. An article should not be composed of trivia: it should be a review of what is important, rather than a collection of what is unimportant. - Nunh-huh 22:47, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

we should. Sam Spade 18:59, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Wiki is not paper, deletionism is anti-wiki

 * Deletionism is anti-wiki is just a slogan. I'm sure there are more solid arguments for keeping or deleting stuff off wikipedia.--192.94.73.4 22:35, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Multiple points. 1) "Deletionism" is seen as anti-Wikipedia by some; others feel it is important to maintain standards.  2) Asking for the removal of information that many editors feel is misleading and substantially too unimportant to merit inclusion in this article (or really any article other than perhaps one on Waniek & Co.) is not necessarily deletionism.  3) The belief that Wikipedia is not paper is important to keep in mind in many situations, although I would submit that it does not demand that Wikipedia become a repository for all things that have ever happened (one might envision thousands of articles devoted to every house number in London and the names of every family ever having inhabited that dwelling....though of course certain addresses, such as 10 Downing Street are excellent examples of possible exceptions) -- indeed, the question is not "should Wikipedia include things not in EB?" (to which we should reply "Yes!  Wikipedia is not paper!) but "should Wikipedia include this specific information, which appears to many editors to be biased, misrepresentative, and misleading concerning iridology and its leading practitioners today?" to which "Yes!  Wikipedia is not paper!" becomes a less convincing response to me.  Of course, Sam is free to disagree with me (and by now, what can I do but expect such a thing? ;-), but I hope that Sam will agree that his remarks are too hasty and inapplicable to serve as conclusive argument here.  Sam likely does have an excellent point (he often does) and I look forward to its being expressed here. Jwrosenzweig 23:41, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

there isn't a very good argument in favor of the Iridology article itself, outside of the above. It is a fringe science. I have discussed it with a medical proffessional who knew of it, and they seemed to find it humerous at best. On the other hand, yes; your reference to the streets of london is a perfect explanation. I'd like to have an in depth article on every person, living and dead. Maybe even have a dna blueprint for alot of them. Terrabytes are cheap, and the future is full of faster, bigger, cheaper and better. I don't see why we should draw the line on fringe science, so long as it is clear that is what they are. Do you honestly think Waniek & Co. is/are unqualified as Iridologists? How could anyone be? Are their schools for this? It isn't recognized as a medicine legally in the US, and so I would assume no liscensing is necessary. Is there a liscense for a Iridology in romania? Honestly, I prefer to get as much information as possible from as many sources as possible. It is really best to require the accuser to present the evidence. You accuse mr. waniak of being unqualified, but what is a qualified Iridologist? A snake oil salesman? A hypnotist? just what are the qualifications you'd like to have proved? Will mr waniak have to cure you of something? I'm already following the Iridology program (minus the light in my eyes part) as best as I can tell, so maybe I'm a qualified Iridologist ;) 'Wiki is not paper' is important to point out w silly extraneous articles like this one, and 'deletionism is anti-wiki', because the point is to ad to, repair, rewrite, produce more content. Simply deleting alone is anti-thetical. You must ad content as well, and prove your case with citations and facts. Personally, I'd love to see it investigated. Is their a romanian wikipedian who would be willing to look into mr waniak in person, ring him up and examine his creditials? We could all throw in and pay the fee's ;) Sam Spade 23:57, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't ask for qualifications, Sam. I'm asking for proof that the iridology community believes his work is hugely important, or at least important enough to merit the prominent position Waniek is giving his research in this article.  He doesn't have to cure me -- he does have to show that the community of iridologists believes his work to be ground-breaking.  There are heroes within the iridology community, I do not doubt -- I'm happy to note their work as influential, whether or not I think they can cure me (I don't).  But if Waniek isn't influential in his community, I don't think we should say he is.  And I'll say it seems to me also that you and I have a different idea of the limits to WP's scope, Sam. :-)  I had considered long ago asking a Romanian-speaking Wikipedian to look into Waniek's writing, etc., but I decided I didn't want to bother someone else with what was not their problem.  I'd be open to it, though, if enough people agree it's important to get to the bottom of this.  Personally, I feel satisfied about my conclusion, but am open to having my mind changed. Jwrosenzweig 16:05, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I think the best way to treat a controversial subject such as this is to allow its proponents to describe it without much interference in one section, then let its critics have their say in a separate section. Mkweise 10:00, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

exactly. NPOV is point, counter point, and sythesis where all agree. Sam Spade 10:15, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * It's one thing to allow this when the proponent is focused on the issue -- say, at Shroud of Turin User:BobDaniels posts a lot of stuff about why some people believe the SoT is Jesus' actual burial wrapping. That's just fine, I think, especially if Bob uses formulas like "Shroud believers contend that...", but even if not: we'll just have another section for skeptics to outline and propone their POV.  But I think we'd agree that, if Bob Daniels was a fellow who'd written a lot of crackpot stuff about the Shroud for 20 years and gotten it published in some fringe magazines here and there, we would object to his stating "The Shroud's authenticity has recently been affirmed by the research of Robert Daniels, one of the world's foremost experts in the analysis of ancient textiles and in the provenance of religious artifacts."  It's one thing to give a proponent room to move in defense of an idea.  It's another to give them room to promote themselves in unseemly fashion.  That's my beef.  Jwrosenzweig 16:00, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Well, its a good thing I never tried to describe Waniek as one of the world's "foremost experts"; despite my personal POV that Waniek is the most famous iridologist in all of eastern europe -- my addition was simply a notation that the person exists, and should be of interested to someone interested in iridology. Lirath Q. Pynnor

 * I concur w lir, and I'd ask you not tpo limit our scope, Jw. One of the coolest parts about the wiki is its unlimited potential.nI'm not saying to exaggerate, I am saying to give him his due, and if you don't think he is 'respected by the iridologist community' (gee, what does that entail? A giant eyeball poster, or what?) lets see you prove he isn't. I'm saying the standard here is SO low, (unlike the shroud of turin) that any wacky crackpot is prob a leader in the feild ;) Sam Spade 20:11, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, Sam, our scope here is limited, if only by the fact that articles can only get so long before they're too long to be of use. :-) I have yet to see any site not owned/operated by Waniek that treats him as anything more than one minor researcher.  I have noted the CNRI site specifically as one that seems to consider Waniek simply one of dozens of researchers, not notable enough for them to refer to even the scope of his research.  Therefore, I would say that, while he doesn't seem "disrespected" by the community, his inclusion in an article entitled "Iridology" seems strange.  It is as though I was arguing for the inclusion of a paragraph in the Poetry article on "Michael Daley, a poet who emphasizes the need to write about the locales and places in which the poet lives."  Michael Daley is a real poet (and a good one) who is a friend of mine.  He has been published on several occasions in poetry journals over the last 30 years, most notably in American Poetry Review.  He does emphasize the need to write about the places in which one lives -- not a completely original idea in poetry, but he's more articulate about it than many, I think.  Daley may well deserve his own article.....what he doesn't deserve is mention on the Poetry page.  He is not well-known outside of a few circles within poetry, and no major poetry site would mark him as a "unique voice in modern poetry", even though there are some original and interesting ideas in his work.  Waniek is similar, in my eyes -- a minor figure who is published in a couple of places, and has a couple of interesting ideas, but who is certainly not a well-known or influential figure in Iridology, based on the fact that most references to him on the web seem to have been placed there by him.  Waniek can have his own article -- I'm fine with that.  But there's no more reason to mention him here than there is for me to add Michael Daley to the Poetry article.  I hope I'm being clear.  Waniek apparently has done enough that a very brief article on him might be appropriate.  He should not, however, be given prominent place in Iridology because there seem to be many organizations and individuals that are more notable in that field.  That's my position. Jwrosenzweig 17:29, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * That is a fairly sensible position. I would say that your analogy is acceptable, with one striking difference... the scope of poetry is HUGE, wheras the pseudo-science of Iridology is small. Their simply arn't that many people even interested in it, much less researching in the feild. I agree w you about poetry, and I encourage you to write an article on your friend. On the other hand, I think poetry, which has been a passion of many for... dare I say ALL of literary history, and a good deal of oral history beforehand, is a different matter entirely. In summary, would you compromise on an external link to waniaks page? Sam Spade 17:52, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * I personally would accept that -- as long as the wording of the link made clear what it is. Not "Iridology Pros and Cons", then, but "Iridology as described by an Iridologist" or something like that?  And you are correct that poetry is a little big to be a good comparison, but I'm afraid I don't know any fringe scientists for a more apt analogy. :-) Jwrosenzweig 18:46, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Meaning well and talking hell
Since that section was completely irrelevant to the subject I moved it here.--192-94-73-5 16:47, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

Self-righteous culture never produces good arbiters. It does, however provide good movers :O) We all have a purpose in life, IP-FBI-Wikipolice. Pehaps yours is to watch tv :O) Oh, and now I know who you are. We still live under the Rule of Law, dude :O) - irismeister 17:25, 2004 May 16 (UTC)

 * Waniek, you are weird but funny at th same time.--192-94-73-5 18:03, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

Evolutionary iris
Iriswardster, since you seem to have a problem with focusing, here's a second take at a competent discussion (as you loudly kept advocating until recently). I am copying below the discussion and would beg you remain focused on the discussion without involving your strong emotions about Theresa and the other admins:
 * [...] can you think of any evolutionary justification for a disease signaling system through the iris? how would an iris-disease-signaling ape survive better than others?--192.94.73.5 04:31, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * [...] As for the evolutionary justification, you just hit the jeckpot, young lady. There is a reason for that. The iris would have been completely opaque, like other "membranes" if the evolutionary purpose was to provide a diaphragm and an "iris" diaphragm only. Cunningly, it isn't. And it isn't opaque at a price. It takes more efforts in this war economy called homeostasty to keep the iris transparent and variably transparent. Presumably, there must be an important physiological reason for this largesse. As great American physiologist Walter Cannon put it, the body, in its wisdom, makes no unjustified expenses. The challenge was to see why the iris was transparent in the first place. Was it only an "imperfection"? Dr Waniek, Professor Olteanu, Dr St*ngaciu, Dr Mircea Popescu and myself thought the iris was anything but an example of imperfect structure adapted to its functions. So we looked into measures of the pattern of iris transparency (PIT). Moreover, the iris distributes light in a very peculiar and strange way - towards the peripheral retina. There are a few quite interesting studies on the links between iris sectors and the ora serrata [...] Talking about apes: at least they are not naked... What is your postal address ? I will send you a reprint from the milestone peer reviewed article I published with dr Popescu, dr Waniek, and Professor Olteanu twenty years ago! - irismeister 09:00, 2004 Apr 19 (UTC)
 * What were the conclusions drawn from your research, then? I have seen the FOS hypothesis formulated several times now both on your website and here in the talk page. Without having me disclose my address or request an interlibrary loan, could you just give a very short summary of the conclusions your group had drawn following the research? And I reiterate one earlier question: how would an iris-disease-signaling ape survive others any better?--192.94.73.5 01:10, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * (answers are very welcome and appreciated here)--192-94-73-5 02:09, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Controlled/uncontrolled studies
I believe an explanation of the specific meaning of the terms controlled/uncontrolled should also be included with the "Evidence of Effectiveness" section. Does uncontrolled mean the iridological diagnosis was never validated against a standard evaluation of the patient in question? In that case the reference would not serve as a very good piece of evidence, would it?--192-94-73-5 17:06, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

Well, IMNSHO, IP-FBI-Wikipolice is not genuinely interested in iridology, or he wouldn't cut huge stuff from this page (in the infamous tradition inaugurated by Theresa) and harass or call the main contributor of these pages names. Disregard IP-FBI-Wikipolice's feigned interest, questions or culture. Now back to Wikie business as usual:
 * Ora serratal physiology, anyone ? Have time, will wait - :O) irismeister 17:27, 2004 May 16 (UTC)

Drop the Cop ! Immediately ! (second warning)
Theresa continues making a fool of herself "editing" this iridology stuff. In what concerns her "fight of flight" addition, there is a WARNING: This has nothing to do with the article! This is only something Theresa just cut and pasted from some dustbin, thinking this will raise her status from "dyslexic Wikicop" to some "medical editing" qualification.

Consider this a second warning: Theresa purposefully, systematically and rudely runs her boots, which are dirty, on the iridology article.

I recently had an open class. My students and I read what Theresa contributed and had a good healthy laugh. She made the day. For her, the ora serrata conveys the fight or flight physiology... Perhaps she was only talking about herself :O)

Ooh irismeister, you are soooo masterful!. You used two excalmation marks in the title and gave me a second warning. And for what? All I did was move the infobox and a few picture around. Wow what will you do when I make a real edit. I'm quaking in my boots with anticiiiiipation. theresa knott 13:16, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

Lasting Iridology Editing Pleasure

 * So you are a Wikicop and you admit it! Do they provide the boots for you? Then let's hope you are not on someone else's carpet :O) It would be a pity to see you once again kicked out from your leased superintendent boots and into your never ending, barefoot, reflexologically correct quacking pleasure :O) It's still high time for you, dear, to fight or flight :O) How do you maintain those stupid sympathetic nervous system allegations, my dear ? Do you have some reference, any deep arcane knowledge, or is it only your point of view about how the iris stroma is innervated ? - irismeister 13:37, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

PS: Have my two cents for it: In medical Wiki articles, it will take a looooooooooooooong time until you will make a real edit. In the mean time I can only hope your pleasure or at least your "anticiiiiipation" will last that long :O ) - irismeister 13:37, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

Oh I'm sure it will.Incidentally I've never been kicked out of my boots. You are confusing me with someone else i think. I like the feel of leather against my skin too much. If you want something removed from the article ask nicely instead of trying to insult me. I'm happy to oblige you if you ask nicely. theresa knott 13:43, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

 I like the feel of leather against my skin too much.  Being the experienced medical doctor I am, and admiring your behavior, I never doubted it, sugar! You know I admire people for what they do best. You were born a person craving for lather and police fancy. But you are plain delirious. And square nuts. Besides, I am too old to take your sexual harassment otherwise than Police benefits for my hard editing work. Here, however, we are trying to concentrate on the iris stroma, dear. We all know whe we are, don't we, Theresa ? So I will put a warning on this page for more serious sysops than you are, my dear. Before you jump on the occasion, just a small reminder (try to focus honey, this is for the professional in you: How do you maintain those stupid sympathetic nervous system allegations, my dear ? Do you have some reference, any deep arcane knowledge, or is it only your point of view about how the iris stroma is innervated ? -

From Theresa's Lather Phantasm, Again and Always Back to Basics
PS, for everybody: Using Word as Photoshop, with a revenge, desperatingly expecting others to correct her own mistakes, while writing on the Alternative Medicine talk page that she has plenty of time to lose, hmm, shall I continue?

An editor and a sysop writing anything but iridology on the iridology page is only a troll. She prevents real job being done, she turns Wiki into a market where volunteers lose their time contributing, and cops like she is lose everybody's time policing. Not to be continued, let alone reccommended. Just let her laugh all the time - for her own enjoyment (perhaps she needs it badly, judging from her venting alleged charms on the market place :O.)

Message for Theresa: get a life, dear! While John here, like in the Alternative Medicine page, project and hundreds of related articles is the only one doing the real work, very much to his honor, and the cause of health, let us all HELP him or at THE VERY LEAST let him REST unharassed, and hey, iridial studies, anyone ? :O) - irismeister 14:43, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

Irismeister it's leather not lather. Lather is what soap does when you put it in water. Leather is what police boots are made of. theresa knott 15:17, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Theresugar baby, I trust your far greater knowledge of what police boots are made of, and kindly ask you for the third time here not to divert my precious time to your soap box, and towards how do you maintain those stupid sympathetic nervous system allegations, my dear ? Do you have some reference, any deep arcane knowledge, or is it only your point of view about how the iris stroma is innervated ? - irismeister 16:57, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

 * Irismonster, why don't you just state clearly in one sentence you don't agree with the fight-or-flight response, explain why, and save the rest of the offensive language for personal talk pages? Act professionally for once. You won't ever succeed in making a point by just flooding this space with your personal drama.--192-94-73-5 15:27, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

 * :O) For this one sentence, you need weeks of homework in autonomous nervous system physiology, so that I do not waste one more phrase in another answer to you, stupid. Capisci ? Not being the monster you insist I am, perhaps I will, but I have time to wait and see your progress first. Do you have time to learn IP-FBI-Wikicop? Boots are not provided for free ! - irismeister 16:57, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

 * Waniek, I'm completely aware there are things I don't know much about. This is precisely why I use Wikipedia: to learn. I asked you some questions you didn't answer. Those answers would greatly add substance to this article. Perhaps you don't know the answers. Perhaps you don't even know you don't know the answers. What in the world are you using Wikipedia for then? Other than trying to advertise your website for free?--192-94-73-5 17:11, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Aha, you ARE making progress then :O) Good. Try the Wiki manual of style next. Tomorrow I will have some time for you and your, for once, sensible arguments - for you, at least, you surely know that you don't know anything :O) Keep up the good work. And if you want to talk to Waniek, why don't you call him ? He gives seminars for what I know. His seminars are public, as my identity is private, stupid, and isn't there the finest place in the world to learn about him and his work, if you Wikilove him so much? One more word, naughty boy and trigger-happy bedwetter ? Who are you, by given name, that is ? It's weird to address to you as a number. Weird, and contrary to the spirit of health ;O) Anyway, who cares, I for one, know who you are. You are Dr Trollonsohn.

 * Yeah, and you are Dr. Brigitte Bardot. Now what about those answers?--192-94-73-5 18:02, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

infobox, like much of the content, is done badly
I wouldn't have thought it possible, but that overblown and self-important "related links" box has made this article even uglier than it was before - just as the overblown and self-important true-believer verbiage has made it virtually impossible to read. Fortunately, the terrible appearance might scare off people who don't realize how this has turned from an article into a soapbox (hey, maybe that's what "lather" means) - DavidWBrooks 15:21, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

 * No, David, tsk, tsk, you got it all wrong for once :O) It's only "thinking in a box" that means a lot of lather and froth from leather-rubbing editors like we-all-know-who-loves Cop paraphernalia and all other diversions as quoted :O) - irismeister 17:02, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

I agree David. I've moved the infobox back to the top so that it doesn't make the article look totally stupid. The article IMO needs a complete rewrite. However I don't think i am the best person to do it. theresa knott 15:30, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Theresugar baby, I trust your far greater knowledge in moving boxes around, but kindly ask you for the fourth time here, not to divert my precious time to your precious box gestures, and towards how do you maintain those stupid sympathetic nervous system allegations, my dear ? Do you have some reference, any deep arcane knowledge, or is it only your point of view about how the iris stroma is innervated that you want kept and carved in Wikistone as a monument of human ineptia ? - irismeister 16:59, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

For both of you: You two are as good Wiki entertainment as ever. Thank you whole heartedly :O)

 * Oh he called me sugar he luuuuuuuves me. As for diverting your precious time. Listen veery carefully I shall seey dis only vonce. No! I will not stop wasting your time. I will not discuss anything with you except for how much you luuuuuuurve me.

Now call me baby again, you know i love it so. theresa knott 18:16, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

Incidentally, would you cut that ugly nonsense about "fight and flight" as an iridology topos ? It's the FIFTH such request. If you would care to get that cold shower afterall then you might do something useful for iridology, editor. How about that ? - irismeister 19:48, 2004 May 17 (UTC)

 * Nope to doing anything in "private" with you (yuck) and nope to discussing iridology with you either. You're not having much luck are ya. theresa knott 20:12, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Good. Not doing much with you in Wiki either, I fell great relief :O°. Now try to focus, honey dear! Forget your brand new glistening boots (still dirty) and your WikiCop's hat. This is for the professional in you: How do you maintain those stupid sympathetic nervous system allegations, my dear ? Do you have some reference, any deep arcane knowledge, or is it only your point of view about how the iris stroma is innervated ?

 * I think it's Mr NH's design. I agree it's revolting (sorry NH). I've deleted it. We don't need it here. theresa knott 20:12, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Ha, ... Hah, Ha! And, please Theresa (as in pleading) don't forget about the voting in the Irismeister matter about you refraining from making personal attacks or harrassing me (4.2 Decree A. & B.) in response to my above comments. -- John Gohde 07:11, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
 * You have nothing to fear john. No need to plead like that. No need to troll either. I'm having too much fun at the moment laughing at irismeister to rise to your baiting. theresa knott 08:09, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I am pleading with you point blank to stop the harassment you have been consistently inflicting upon me noted in the voting in the Irismeister matter about you refraining from making personal attacks or harrassing people(4.2 Decree A. & B.). It is about time that you stopped! -- John Gohde 19:01, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Theresugar, harassing John and saying sorry in the same breath makes you a dull girl. Go play elsewhere, this is Wiki, darling, and we don't have so much time for you today :O) - irismeister 06:43, 2004 May 18 (UTC)

Questions *only* for the Irismeister

 * 1) How do you like the placement of the Eye right next to the Infobox on top of the article?
 * 2) What do you think about the infobox for this article?

Also, irismeister you cannot edit this article ... but, I can. So, what do you want me to change for you? -- John Gohde 07:15, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

We'll have to think it again, John. The only thing left that's outstanding is your welcome and knowledgeable contributions, complete with Infobox ON TOP where it BELONGS, and the infobox as it is. We have to perform laser surgery to carefully remove all other interpolations, starting with the "fight or flight" theresa-branded factoid. The pupil reacts to light but this has nothing to do with whatever changes in the iris stroma as a consequence of autonomic influx. Theresa can't tell the difference between pupil and iris, let alone muscles and vessels in the iris stroma. This ANS influx is too subtle and important to be left unexplained. I will come back with a shortcut, once I'm off with policing the police around us :O)

 * The top of the article still feels a little cluttered (I wish we had a little more control over the auto-generated TOC), but I think your work with the infobox and picture improved the look of the article a great deal, John. I do think you're a little quick to call Theresa's behavior as a "personal attack" or "harassment" -- she agreed with someone that the color of the infobox was bad and noted that you were the one who had made it (in response to Sam's question), while simultaneously apologizing to you (suggesting that it wasn't her intention to offend you, surely).  If someone thought the color of a box I made was revolting, well, I'm sure I wouldn't appreciate it much, but then taste differs.  And if you want to quote those findings of fact here, why not also remind your friend Dr. Jipa that calling people "stupid" or implying that they can't tell the difference between the pupil and the iris must be considered at least as rude as Theresa's comments?  The Dr. doesn't seem interested in discussing anything with me other than my status (according to him) as "Wikicop", else I'd do the deed myself.  May I ask what "interpolations" there are in the article?  Dr. Jipa has made several suggestions here, but has refused to offer even one citation -- I'm happy to add some of his suggestions if I can be given any assurance that more than a small group of iridologists believe them.

The top of the article still feels a little cluttered
 * No way! It surely doesn't! I can see that from two meters away from my screen - irismeister 12:25, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

I wish
 * Wish less and DO MORE ! irismeister 12:25, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

I do think you're a little quick to call Theresa's behavior
 * Are you in all your minds ? Can't you interprete facts and see evidence- or you see only what you want to see ? - irismeister 12:25, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

If someone thought the color of a box I made was revolting, well, I'm sure I wouldn't appreciate it much
 * The color isn't the issue here. While you land smoothly and speak softly about the finer nuances of color, John is the only one to work for content (as I RESPECTFULLY DON'T - being BANNED by your Wikicop MANNERS). YOU ARE NOT HELPFUL ON THIS PAGE! You DIVERT everything from CONTENT to FORM! FOCUS, Wikicop, focus!. Before the straw in the color of the box, look at the LOG in your own eyes!. Look at Theresa doing NOTHING BUT HARASSING, DIVERTING, MAKING FOOL of HERSELF with DIRTY IMAGINATIONS and NEVER ANSWERING LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS ABOUT CONTENT. It's the eleventh time I now ASK HERE FOR THE STUPID, WIKI-BASHING "CONTRIBUTION" of Theresa on the "fight or flight explanation" to be REMOVED. ARE YOU DEAF ? Do it, and YOU CAN PLAY WITH COLORS AFTER THE FACTS are being put RIGHT as they deserve !!!! - irismeister 12:25, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

The Dr. doesn't seem interested in discussing anything with me other than my status (according to him) as "Wikicop", else I'd do the deed myself
 * No kidding ? Did you try to discuss the article's CONTENT ? DO YOU TRY IT NOW WHILE I'M STILL AVAILABLE BEFORE I GO VOMIT for the WAY YOU MISHANDLE, DIVERT, DESTROY this ARTICLE !!!! - irismeister 12:25, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

has refused to offer even one citation
 * You, David and Theresa keep DELETING them, stupid, with spurious idiotic rreasons like me advertizing wanieks and websites! Can't you UNDERSTAND ADVANCE OF KNOWLEDGE as a motif. Do you REALLY need to reduce every motivation to what you, David and Theresa can understand ? WAKE UP FELLOWS - there are still a few hard working people for the dozens of Wikicops. The only thing that keeps them CONTRIBUTING for FREE is an IDEAL. Throw dirt, more dirt, lies and more lies and they will GO ELSEWHERE where there is COMPETENCE and not WIKIPOLICE'.

I'm happy to add some of his suggestions if I can be given any assurance that more than a small group of iridologists believe them.
 * With all DUE LACK of respect, did you try to put your money where your mouth is ? Show me the money! Show me you read the DEMEA reference, Medlined, searched for and CONTRIBUTED by JOHN - THE ONLY SERIOUS, COMPETENT, NON-DIVERTING REAL EDITOR HERE! Do you expect me to pay a reprint for you or do you think I have all the time for you and Theresa in lieu of my MORE SERIOUS PATIENTS ?

must be considered at least as''' rude as Theresa's comments? '''
 * There is no need. Stupid is stupid, stupid! Keep it simple, stupid! Can't you read American? At least this KISS does not divert Wikilove !!!! What is more rude - banning the main contributor here for teaching decent data and setting the facts right FOR SIX MONTH and a 99% OVERHEAD PAPERWORK or calling a chick a chick ? You feign indignation for rude facts and PERPETRATE and PERPETUATE RUDE BEHAVIOR !!!! - You are bad mannered ! You make me lose my time !  A love that's feigned with bad intent, beats all the rudes you can invent  irismeister 12:34, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

 * With all due respect, you should check out Infobox. Every WikiProject is supposed to pick an unique color.  This is what we did.  Our ugly infobox has been posted to Wikipedia:Infobox for quite some time now along with all the other ugly infoboxes.  Our color choice of #ffcc99 happens to be a safe color which means that it is supposed to work on all kinds of monitors and computer hardware setups.  It was our second choice. The first choice was a reddish-brown color. We are the only project officially using this color choice, although the album project color is also pretty close to our choice.  It has the virtue of being light in color so that the text is readable. At this point, we are only getting the project going.  Aggressively editing the text of selected CAM articles will happen around the end of summer 2004.  I do not want to get bogged down at this point on any one article or science kook. -- John Gohde 23:04, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Actually, John, I didn't complain about the color at all. :-) I do think, though, that if someone feels a color is unattractive, saying "we needed to choose a unique color and we did" isn't really addressing the issue (On second thought, I think you did do a fairly good job of explaining the color selection - my apologies) -- although I think you're right that infoboxes are generally ugly.  Their usefulness needs to outweigh their aesthetic drawbacks, and I think yours has, in this case.  Theresa is free to disagree with me, of course.  Aggressive editing (hmm, that sounds hostile....is it supposed to?  Bold editing, though, is encouraged, and probably amounts to the same thing) sounds intriguingly vague.  And I'm not trying to bog you down (what do you mean by "science kook"?  Hopefully not me) -- if Irismeister wants to answer my question about interpolations, I think that makes the most sense.  You'd indicated that you were going to edit the article for Dr. Jipa and I wanted to make sure we were being careful with verifiable and sourced information, but perhaps your comment indicates you've changed your mind?  Anyhow, I think you're right on the color. Jwrosenzweig 23:13, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

'''Actually, John, I didn't complain about the color at all. :-) '''
 * Oh yeah ? And actually :O°) just what are you doing here, when JOHN ASKED A QUESTION to ME  SPECIFICALLY ? Are you color blind ? - irismeister 12:44, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

if Irismeister wants to answer my question about interpolations, I think that makes the most sense. Yeah, he wants - 'AT YOUR TURN, Bully Wikicop! I was answering JOHN's question, bad mannered Wikicop ! Or do you want to feel important in taking the LEAD. Take the waiting time as a perfect opportunity to re-read your cabbage and pasta contribution (it doesn't deserve the plain vanilla tag - AND YOU WILL GET THE PICTURE OF WHAT "INTERPOLATION" MEANS, stupid !

 * The hip-hop music infobox is using basically the same ugly color. So, if it is good enough for the hip-hop crowd how bad can it be?  The color has grown on me and I rather like it now.  Perhaps, if you adjust your monitor? -- John Gohde 23:25, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I really don't see how others doing something badly means you can too. Two wrongs don't make a right - David Gerard 23:27, May 18, 2004 (UTC)

 * David, there are dishonoring, Wiki-bashing idiotic additions by Theresa in the first paragraphs, and you keep talking hip-hop. Are you real ?

 * The hip-hop music infobox is no more wrong then ours is. -- John Gohde 23:34, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

To John
Please be patient, John. I know you are :O) - irismeister 12:52, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

To all
Folks, once I'm not sickened and HARASSED by interpolators, "fight or flight" contributors, leather-booted Wikicops, sensory-deprived, sexually-obsessed "sysops" advertising alleged charms while they draw tampons in Word, and by hip-hop color-box builders like David ANY MORE, I'll be back here with the real answer to John. In the mean time, thanks to your "contributions" for the last SIX MONTHS ROBBING MY TIME and RAPING my PATIENCE, I go vomit somewhere ! Yuck ! What a mess Wiki has become with ten Wikicops for each author ! - irismeister 12:52, 2004 May 19 (UTC)

 * Note to anyone reading this page and wondering what on earth irismister is on about

theresa knott 13:23, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) fight of flight is a bit that I put in the article after he claimed that iridology is legit because the iris is linked to the CNS. The faxct that i have actually done what he asked and removed it from the article seems to have escapedhis notice
 * 2) Leather booted wikicop refers to me. He calls me a cop because i pointed out that he inserted a link to his own website then lied about it.
 * 3) Advertising alleged charms again refers to me. He thinks that because i said "you fancy me don't you?" that i am offering myself to him. I am not. Sorry irisluster but I'd rather not if you don't mind.
 * 4) The person who drew the tampon diagram was User:Fabiform note that she has not actually spoken irisluster in months but that doesn't stop him attacking her now.
 * 5) I don't know if david's a builder, but i quite like the idea. ( Theresa stops typing to daydream a little)

 * These types of comments are precisely what using the SQGs will help to avoid in the future.

Be Bold TK while editing, NOT!

 * To TK, per SQG #7 I have removed the redundant controversey recently added in the introductory paragraphs. -- John Gohde 06:46, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
 * There is nothing contraversial about saying that it is dismissed as pesudoscience by most medical professionals. I've put it back in as per "be bold" and "NPOV" guidlines theresa knott 07:22, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Now, that I am back from my special project, I will suggest that you actually read what "be bold" actually means.

 * Be bold in updating pages
 * "But please note: be bold in updating pages does not mean that you should make deletions to long articles on complex, controversial subjects with long histories, such as Israeli-Palestinian conflict or Abortion. In many such cases, the text as you find it has come into being after long and arduous negotiations between Wikipedians of diverse backgrounds and points of view.
 * An incautious edit to such an article can be akin to stirring up a hornet's nest, and other users who are involved in the page may react angrily.

 * If you encounter an article on a controversial subject that you would like to edit, first read the comments on the talk page and view the Page history to get a sense of how the article came into being and what its current status is. Then, if you want to change or delete anything substantial in the text, you should either:

 * Move it to the Talk page, if it is a sentence or so, and list your objections.
 * Only list your objections to the section on the Talk page if it is longer.

 * Then, wait a bit for responses. If no one objects, proceed. But always move large deletions to Talk and list your objections to the text so that other people will understand your changes and will be able to follow the history of the page."

 * John you are the person doing the deleting not me.theresa knott 08:25, 21 May 2004 (UTC)

 * TK, you are the person whose time is over. Just thought that you might want to know. -- John Gohde 12:44, 21 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Might like to know what exactly. Don't be so cryptic, I don't understand what you mean. BTW I'm glad to see you are feeling better. theresa knott 13:04, 21 May 2004 (UTC)

 * It is contraversial because supporters of Iridology think that it is. Be bold while editing in the intro and you will offend editors and start an edit war.

 * The concept is very simple. If you want to voluntary stop the edit wars in CAM you don't put needless controvesey in the introduction of an article.  If you must repeat this duplicate information, then put it into the article below the introduction.  This concept is not my invention.  See SQG #7 for direct quotes from other editors. -- John Gohde 15:18, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Look it is a fact that this is the opinion of most mainstream medical doctors. Even iridologists must concede that. As for the duplication point I would say that the infobox is non NPOV as is simply states that it is peseudoscience. Therefore it's better to remove it from the infobox than from the intro. The point of an intro is to give a brief description of what the subject is all about. Leaving the psedoscience bit out of the intro removes an important aspect of the topic. It is not my intention to start edit wars, but i do insist that the quality of the article not be compromised in order to prevent themtheresa knott 15:28, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Birmingham Barons

The Birmingham Barons are a Minor League Baseball team based in Birmingham, Alabama. The team, which plays in the Southern League, is the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox and plays at Regions Field in downtown Birmingham. The Barons were previously located in Montgomery, Alabama, and known as the Montgomery Rebels.

History
Most of the professional baseball teams that have played in Birmingham have used the name Barons. The current team began playing in Birmingham in 1981, having previously played in Montgomery, Alabama as the Montgomery Rebels. Like previous Barons teams, they played at Rickwood Field on a full-time basis from 1981 to 1987. Since then, they have only played at Rickwood on special occasions. From 1988 to 2012, the team played at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in the suburb of Hoover, Alabama, where former basketball star Michael Jordan played with the team in 1994. Since 2013, the team plays at Regions Field in the downtown part of Birmingham.

As a result of Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Barons were organized into the eight-team Double-A South. In 2022, the Double-A South became known as the Southern League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization.

In 2023, Diamond Baseball Holdings purchased the team from The Logan Family.

Playoffs and championships

 * Southern League playoff appearances (16): 1983, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013

Yamit

Yamit (ימית) was an Israeli settlement in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula with a population of about 2,500 people. Yamit was established during Israel's occupation of the peninsula from the end of the 1967 Six-Day War until that part of the Sinai was handed over to Egypt in April 1982, as part of the terms of the 1979 Egypt–Israel peace treaty. Prior to the return of the land to Egypt, all the homes were evacuated and bulldozed.

History
Located in the Rafah Plain region south of the Gaza Strip, Yamit was envisioned as a large city for 200,000 people that would create a buffer zone between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. It was built on land in a 140,000 dunam (14,000 hectare) area from which some 1,500 Bedouin families of the Al-Ramilat tribes had been secretly expelled under the direct orders of the then-defense minister Moshe Dayan and Southern Command head Ariel Sharon. Construction of Yamit began in January 1975. When the first fifty residents arrived there were no buildings, roads, electricity or water. Nevertheless, ambitious plans were drawn up for a port, a flour mill, a Dead Sea canal, a hotel and a university. A cornerstone was laid for a yeshiva. By the second year, the population reached 100.

Despite efforts to promote Yamit's relatively affordable housing, Yamit did not attract enough residents to make it a seaport. Upon the signing of the peace treaty with Egypt in 1979, it became clear to residents that Yamit's days were numbered. Most accepted compensation and relocated to other cities. Those who chose to stay were joined by nationalist supporters who moved in to boost their numbers. When the order came to evacuate Yamit by force, many of the residents barricaded themselves inside their homes, while others climbed up to their roofs as soldiers broke down their doors.

Before the establishment of Yamit, the area south of Gaza known as the Rafah salient had been home to Bedouin farmers who "tended almond, peach, olive, and castor-oil trees and patches of wheat. Near the coastline, where groundwater rose almost to the surface, they farmed a strip a few hundred meters wide that yielded richer crops. Herds of sheep and goats added to their livelihood. They were settled tribes; some lived in tents, but more in tin shacks and concrete houses'.

Expulsion of the Bedouin
On January 14, 1972, without explicit instructions by the Israeli government, Ariel Sharon ordered the expulsion of the Bedouins of the Rafah Plain, about 18 sqmi of land in northeast Sinai, together with the razing of their orchards and the blocking of their water wells. The tribal sheikhs claimed 20,000 people were affected by the expulsion. Israeli army statistics put the number of expelled at 4,950. Those with tents were given a day to remove them. Those in concrete houses were given an extra day to leave, and their homes were reduced to rubble. Bulldozers, following a map design drawn by Sharon, drove down a swathe extending several dozen metres wide where the Bedouins were encamped and smashed everything in their way. The decision to build Yamit was approved by the Israeli government in September 1973.

Settling northeastern Sinai was an idea strongly promoted by Moshe Dayan. The idea was subsequently proposed in a document on Israeli policy in the occupied territories written by Yisrael Galili, drafted to bridge the gap between hardliners and moderates in the Israeli Labour Party. According to one Israeli kibbutznik who visited the area immediately after the expulsion: "A group of members from kibbutzim in the region, including me, started to investigate. We went out and toured the area, and were stunned by the dimensions of the wreckage, and by the number of persons who were expelled. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the government denied the facts that we presented and claimed that they had merely evacuated a few nomads from state lands onto which the nomads had recently encroached."

The expulsion was not mentioned in the Israeli press. A month later, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross met and raised the issue with Dayan's viceroy in the territories, Shlomo Gazit, who knew nothing of it. The IDF chief of staff David Elazar, on being informed, flew over the area by helicopter to see for himself and subsequently appointed a commission to investigate what Ariel Sharon had done.

The subsequent inquiry revealed that the expulsion of the Bedouins had occurred under Dayan's initiative and without government authorization. Golda Meir's government implemented the pre-prepared plan for settlements on this Bedouin territory. According to one source, it was this official decision to establish a large Israeli city at Yamit which, for Anwar Sadat and senior Egyptian officials, "was the straw that broke the camel's back", eventuating in the loss of hopes for a peace agreement and the onset of the Yom Kippur War. Avi Shlaim argues however that the Arab decision to go to war preceded the Galilee Document's publication. Nonetheless, Dayan made public remarks about his intention to build a deep-water port at Yamit, cutting Egypt off from the Gaza Strip, and Sadat is on record as saying, "Every word spoken about Yamit is a knife pointing at me personally and at my self-respect."

Local kibbutzniks were outraged by the destruction and, in consultation with the tribal chief, Suleiman Hussein Uda Abu Hilo, arranged for a human rights lawyer to appeal on their behalf. Some kibbutzniks, among them Oded Lifshitz, and Latif Dori, were also activists in the left-wing Mapam party and ran Rafiah tours to show Israelis the destruction that had taken place, and to bring to public attention the fact that the image of the Bedouin as nomads were inexact, and that their orchards were being bulldozed. In July 1972, nine Bedouin sheikhs from the area petitioned the Supreme Court of Israel to obtain an order permitting them to return to their homes. Their case was presented by a Mapam man, Haim Holzman, who argued that the evacuation had no legal or military rationale, and violated the Geneva Convention. Ariel Sharon was ordered by the court to show cause for the expulsion. General Israel Tal gave a deposition arguing that the Rafiah Plain area had been used by terrorists, who had attacked Israelis, as a shelter. A buffer zone, involving "Jewish settlement and presence" between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, was required for security reasons. Holzmann replied, arguing that Tal's maps showed terrorist attacks had been in decline, and the incidents enumerated lay outside the zone where the expulsion had taken place. Holzmann died of a heart attack before his summation, later given by his law partner, could be delivered. While the case was still pending, Dayan secretly asked Tel Aviv architects Yehuda Drexler and Ze'ev Drukman to draw up a blueprint for the projected port town of Yamit. The design brochure they produced was then sequestered by the IDF to ensure that the material would not come to the court's attention.

Dayan envisaged a metropolis whose population would be expanded to a quarter of a million people by the year 2000. His plan was shelved because its cost would have had serious consequences for Israel's poor. The first residents arrived in August 1975 and the population quickly expanded. Two settlement blocs surrounded it: to the east lay Pri'el, Talme Yosef, Netiv, Ha-Asara, Ugda, Nir Avraham, Prigan, Sadot, Diqua, and the block centre Avshalom, while south of Yamit, settlements were made at Atzmona, Tarsag and Ne'ot Sinai. Most of the population was composed of secular Israelis who were attracted to the pristine settings near the Mediterranean and the low cost of housing. The settlement was positioned about half a kilometre away from the shore, adjacent to Bedouins who lived nearby along the shoreline itself.

Evacuation

The evacuation of Yamit was part of the final stage of Israeli evacuation from Sinai. It was carried out in the face of powerful domestic opposition in Israel. Moshe Arens (of the Likud party), the head of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, and professor Yuval Ne'eman, the leader of the right-wing Tehiya party, led that opposition. They wanted to stop the evacuation and revoke the peace treaty with Egypt, arguing, that once Egypt had the entire Sinai, it would cancel the peace treaty with Israel and rejoin the rest of the Arab world. Yamit was evacuated on April 23, 1982, amid resistance by some Yamit settlers and other supporters. Some residents barricaded themselves on the rooftops before being dragged into buses by Israeli soldiers. Political extremists from the rest of the country infiltrated Yamit to demonstrate their solidarity and sabotage the withdrawal. Among the more extreme examples of resistance were the disciples of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who vowed to take their own lives rather than surrender. After the personal intervention of Kahane, they agreed to leave.

The initial agreement between Israel and Egypt stipulated that Egypt would pay $80 million for the houses and infrastructure of Yamit. Ariel Sharon decided to destroy the settlement. Sharon claimed that he decided in response to an Egyptian request, but this was not the case. According to the Israeli ambassador to Egypt at the time, Moshe Sasson, Begin feared that the Israeli settlers would return to their homes surreptitiously and that a disastrous clash between them and the Egyptians might occur. One suggestion was that Sharon deliberately made the whole process more traumatic than it needed to be so that the Israeli public would refuse the dismantling of other settlements even for the sake of peace.

Since the demolition, the only structure that remains visible is the skeleton of the main synagogue, which contains no visible Jewish symbols.

Chattanooga Lookouts

The Chattanooga Lookouts are a Minor League Baseball team of the Southern League and the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. They are based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and are named for nearby Lookout Mountain. The team plays its home games at AT&T Field which opened in 2000 and seats 6,340 fans. They previously played at Engel Stadium from 1930 through 1999, with a one-year break in Montgomery, Alabama's Cramton Bowl in 1943.

History

In 1906, Oliver Burnside "O.B." Andrews, owner of the Andrews Paper Box Company, took ownership of a franchise in the South Atlantic League relocating the Single-A team to Chattanooga. The team adopted the name Lookouts in 1909 after a fan contest. The following year Andrews purchased the Double A Southern Association franchise from Little Rock and relocated them to Chattanooga. The team began playing on Andrews Field in the 1100 block of East 3rd Street, which would remain the site of their home stadium for close to a hundred years.

Joe Engel bought the Chattanooga Lookouts in 1926 and opened Engel Stadium in 1930 on the site of Andrews Field. The first game in the new stadium was played April 15, 1930, with the Lookouts beating the Atlanta Crackers 6-5 in front of approx. 16,000 fans.

In 1931, the New York Yankees played an exhibition game against the Lookouts. During the game, a 17-year-old girl named Jackie Mitchell pitched for the Lookouts and struck out Major League greats Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Many reports of this story include a footnote claiming that a few days after the game, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided Mitchell's contract, claiming that baseball was "too strenuous" for women. This has been rebutted here, and directly contradicts a profile of Mitchell published a few months later. MLB didn't introduce a ban on contracts for female players until June 21, 1952 (which was repealed in 1992).

After winning the 1932 Southern Association pennant, the Lookouts won the Dixie Series, a postseason interleague championship between the champions of the Southern Association and the Texas League, defeating the Beaumont Exporters, 4–1, in the best-of-seven series.

During owner Joe Engel's tenure, the Lookouts won four championships – three with the Southern Association and a fourth with the South Atlantic League. Engel led a charge to own the Lookouts privately, with the help of several hundred fans as shareholders from 1938 to 1942. In 1939, as a privately owned franchise under coach Kiki Cuyler, the Lookouts claimed a championship. In 1943, the Lookouts played at Montgomery, Alabama's Cramton Bowl as the Montgomery Rebels after the Washington Senators moved the Lookouts from Chattanooga to Montgomery, some 235 mi away, citing a decline in attendance. (The original Montgomery Rebels team had folded due to World War II in 1943 and would return to Montgomery in 1946 in the now-defunct Southeastern League.) The Lookouts managed to move back to Chattanooga in December of that year after Engel organized a letter-writing campaign aimed at Clark Griffith, the owner of the Senators at the time.

The team, which plays in the Southern League, has been the Double-A affiliate of a major league ballclub since 1932. From 1988 through 2008, the Lookouts were the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. For the 2009 through 2014 seasons, the Los Angeles Dodgers served as the parent club. In affiliating with the Twins in 2015, the Lookouts rekindled a relationship with the franchise that, as the 1901–1960 edition of the Washington Senators, spent the longest period as its parent team.

It was announced on September 25, 2018, that the Lookouts would resume their affiliation with the Reds.

In conjunction with Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Lookouts were organized into the Double-A South in which they continued as an affiliate of the Reds. In 2022, the Double-A South became known as the Southern League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization.

On July 15 2024, the team and local officials broke ground on a new 115 million dollars stadium in the South Broad Street Community. The stadium will be constructed on the site of the former U.S. Pipe/Wheland Foundry. The stadium will be flanked by I-24 as it runs along Nickajack Lake.

Television and radio
All Chattanooga Lookouts games are televised on MiLB.TV. Since 2016, all games are broadcast on 96.1 The Legend. Larry Ward is the lead broadcaster. Lookouts games were broadcast on WDOD (1310 AM) until the 2011 season. From 2011 to 2015, games were broadcast on WALV-FM (105.1 FM, "ESPN Chattanooga"). Currently, all Lookouts games are broadcast on WLND 98.1 The Lake starting with the 2019 season.

Talk:TI-89 Titanium

If this calculator is more advanced than the TI-89, why did they give it this name rather than just "TI-90"?? How is the name of a calculator usually determined?? 66.245.25.83 17:48, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
 * This is purely a marketing descision. The TI-89 is actually "better" (internally, at least) than the TI-92, and internally equivalent to the TI-92 Plus, yet was not called the TI-89 Plus.  TI may have reserved to 90 series to large format calculators with keyboards.  The marketing mind can be inscrutable. - PlatinumX 01:15, 2004 May 26 (UTC)

True or false??
True or false: there is a calculator that will probably be discontinued in response to this calculator's release just as the TI-82 will probably be discontinued in response to the release of the TI-84 Plus. 66.245.81.98 18:09, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Mobile BayBears

The Mobile BayBears were a Minor League Baseball team based in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The team, which played in the Southern League, served as the Double-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres (1997–2006), Arizona Diamondbacks (2007–2016), and Los Angeles Angels (2017–2019). The BayBears played in Hank Aaron Stadium, which opened in 1997 and is named after baseball's former all-time home run king and Mobile native Hank Aaron.

In 2020, the BayBears relocated to Madison, Alabama, where they are now called the Rocket City Trash Pandas.

History
The BayBears franchise originated in 1976 in Charlotte, North Carolina, first as the Charlotte Orioles and then as the first incarnation of the Charlotte Knights. When Charlotte moved up to become a Triple-A franchise in 1993, the team found a temporary home in Nashville, Tennessee, as the Nashville Xpress from 1993 to 1994. It existed as the Port City Roosters in Wilmington, North Carolina, from 1995 to 1996. The franchise landed in Mobile in 1997.

The team's name was announced in July 1996, having been selected in a name-the-team contest. Mobile mayor Mike Dow announced the name at that year's Mobile Fourth of July fireworks display. In September 1996, the BayBears signed an affiliation agreement with the San Diego Padres.

In November 2017, BayBears owners Michael Savit and HWS Group, closed on the sale of the team to BallCorps LLC. The team continued to play in Mobile through the 2019 season, but relocated to Madison, Alabama, in 2020, where they were planned to play in a newly-built ballpark. Upon relocation, the team was renamed the Rocket City Trash Pandas. The name is a reference to both the area's association with the space industry and the determination and ingenuity of raccoons.

The BayBears played their final game on September 2, 2019. They were defeated by the Tennessee Smokies, 5–4, before a crowd of 1,554 people.

Tennessee Smokies

The Tennessee Smokies are a Minor League Baseball team based in Kodak, Tennessee, a suburb of Knoxville. The team, which plays in the Southern League, is the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. They play at Smokies Stadium, directly off Interstate 40 at Exit 407, which seats up to 8,000 fans. The team was based in Knoxville and called the Knoxville Smokies among other names for many years before moving to Kodak and changing its name prior to the 2000 season. The team's nickname refers to the Great Smoky Mountains mountain range which permeates the region; mountains in the chain are often clouded in a hazy mist that may appear as smoke rising from the forest. The team plans to move into a new facility in Knoxville beginning in the 2025 season when they will be renamed the Knoxville Smokies once again.

Prior professional baseball in Knoxville
Knoxville has hosted Minor League Baseball teams since the late 19th century. The city's professional baseball history dates back to 1896 with the formation of the Knoxville Indians who played two seasons in the Southeastern League. They were followed by the Knoxville Reds (1902–1905). In 1904, the Reds won the city's first professional championship in the Tennessee–Alabama League. The Knoxville Appalachians began play in 1909 as members of the original Class B South Atlantic League. They dropped out of the "Sally League" that season, but continued in the Class D Southeastern League (1910) and Appalachian League (1911–1914). The Appalachians adopted the Reds moniker from the previous Knoxville team in 1912.

The club returned to the South Atlantic loop, now Class B, as the Smokies from 1925 to 1929. On July 22, 1931, the Mobile Bears franchise of the A1 Southern Association moved to Knoxville and played as the Smokies through July 5, 1944, when the club returned to Mobile. The transfer marked the end of Knoxville's membership in the Southern Association.

In 1946, the Smokies joined the Class B Tri-State League and played in it until the loop folded in 1955. But in July 1956, when the Montgomery Rebels of the Class A South Atlantic League needed a new home, they transferred to Knoxville. The Smokies' manager that season was Earl Weaver who was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996.

Double-A
The Smokies were reclassified as Double-A with the rest of the Sally League in 1963, and were charter members of the Sally's successor, the Southern League, in 1964. Apart from a four-year (1968–1971) hiatus, they have continued in the Southern loop ever since.

Knoxville returned in 1972 as the Knoxville White Sox or Knox Sox, the Chicago White Sox's Double-A club. They transferred their affiliation to the Toronto Blue Jays in 1980, a link that lasted until 1999. For the first 13 of those years, the team was officially known as the Knoxville Blue Jays, or locally referred to as simply the K-Jays. The historic Smokies moniker was reintroduced beginning in the 1993 season.

From 1954 to 1999, Knoxville baseball teams played in Bill Meyer Stadium, formerly known as Knoxville Municipal Stadium, on Neal Ridley Field. The stadium was named for Knoxville native son and former Pittsburgh Pirates manager Billy Meyer. The field was named in memory of Neal Ridley, a former team owner, in 1984, following his death the previous year.

From 1999 to 2005, the Smokies were the Double-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. However, when the Cardinals purchased the El Paso Diablos, which had been the Arizona Diamondbacks' Double-A affiliate, the Diamondbacks retained the Smokies as their new Double-A affiliate. On September 21, 2006, the Chicago Cubs, who had previously had a Double-A affiliation with division rival West Tenn Diamond Jaxx, reached a two-year player development contract with the Smokies through the 2008 season.

Chicago Cubs (2007–present)
In December 2008, Hall of Famer and former Chicago Cubs All-Star second baseman Ryne Sandberg was named manager for the 2009 season. Sandberg led the Smokies to a second-half Southern League North Division crown and a 3–1 divisional playoff series win over the Huntsville Stars. The Smokies would eventually fall 3-games-to-1 to the Jacksonville Suns for the 2009 Southern League Championship.

In June 2013, the then-Smokies' ownership group, led by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, sold the team to Randy Boyd, a local Knoxville businessman. Though a devoted baseball fan, Boyd is not involved in the day-to-day management of the team, delegating those responsibilities to CEO Doug Kirchhofer and General Manager Brian Cox. In 2016, speculation began that Boyd was wanting to move the Smokies back to Knoxville after he had purchased several parcels in downtown Knoxville. Boyd said he had envisioned a baseball stadium on that site, but at that time had no plans to bring the baseball team back to Knoxville until 2025, when the current stadium contract expires.

On July 11, 2014, The Chicago Cubs and Tennessee Smokies announced an extension to their Player Development Contract (PDC) for the maximum possible term of four years. The agreement meant the Smokies were to remain the Cubs' Double-A affiliate through the 2018 season.

On October 22, 2014, the Smokies revealed new logos, colors, and uniforms that reflected their ongoing relationship with the Chicago Cubs organization.

Smokies Stadium experienced its largest baseball attendance ever of 7,958 on May 13, 2017, against the Montgomery Biscuits. The Smokies lost the game 3–1, which was also Star Wars Night. The previous attendance record was the 7,866 on July 24, 2015, against the Chattanooga Lookouts. The Smokies won the game 8–4, which was also Toy Story Night and Daddy-Daughter Date Night.

In conjunction with Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Smokies were organized into the Double-A South. In 2022, the Double-A South became known as the Southern League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization.

In 2021, Tennessee Smokies owner Randy Boyd announced that the team would be moving back to Knoxville in a new stadium built in the Old City neighborhood, with the plans to play at the new stadium in 2024. It was announced the team would revive its former name of the Knoxville Smokies upon the move.

The 2022 Smokies qualified for the Southern League playoffs by virtue of having the second-best full-season record in the Northern Division behind the Rocket City Trash Pandas, who won both halves of the season. Tennessee defeated Rocket City, 2–1, to win the Northern Division title and advance to the finals against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.

Orlando Rays

Several different minor league baseball teams have called the city of Orlando, Florida home from 1919–2003. Most have played in the Florida State League.

The original Orlando franchise played between 1919 and 1924 and was alternately called the Caps, Tigers and Bulldogs. The Orlando Colts played between 1926 and 1928.

The Orlando Gulls began in 1937 but changed their name the following year to the Orlando Senators when they became an affiliate of the Washington Senators. The Senators remained through 1955 (though the team name and league was shut down from 1943–1945 during World War II and the name was changed to the Orlando C.B.s for 1954–1955). They won the FSL championship in 1940, 1946 and 1955

In 1956, they were an affiliate of the Diablos Rojos del Mexico of the Mexican League and were known as the Orlando Seratomas. As an affiliate of the Detroit Tigers they were the Orlando Flyers in 1957, a name that remained in 1958 when they were affiliated with the International League team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. They were a Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate known as the Orlando Dodgers from 1959–1961 when this version of the team was discontinued.

The last incarnation of the franchise began in 1963, when the Minnesota Twins (the former Senators) set up a new affiliate called the Orlando Twins. The franchise moved up to the Double-A Southern League in 1973. The Twins played at Tinker Field in downtown Orlando, near the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium. In 1990, the team was renamed the Orlando Sun Rays. In 1993, the Chicago Cubs became the team's new major-league affiliate, and the team was renamed the Orlando Cubs. While still a Chicago Cubs affiliate, the team renamed itself once again in 1997 and became the Orlando Rays. The following year, for one season only, the Seattle Mariners were the Rays' major-league affiliate. The Tampa Bay Rays (then the Devil Rays), an American League expansion team in 1998, assumed the Orlando Rays' major-league affiliation the following year.

The Orlando Rays' last season at Tinker Field was 1999. From 2000 to 2003, the Orlando Rays played in Kissimmee, Florida, in Champion Stadium at Walt Disney World Resort. Despite the fact that the team played in a state-of-the-art stadium that was built in 1997 and used during spring training by the Atlanta Braves, attendance did not meet expectations; after trailing the Southern League in attendance in multiple years, the Rays' owners announced the team would move to Montgomery, Alabama in 2004 (terminating their 10-year lease with Disney after four seasons). Rays players who went on to the major-league level include Carl Crawford, Toby Hall, Trevor Enders, Jorge Cantú, Dewon Brazelton, Chad Gaudin, Matt Diaz, Jonny Gomes, and Seth McClung. The team is now known as the Montgomery Biscuits.

The Gulf Coast Braves also previously played in Orlando.

On June 17, 2016 as part of a charity appeal following the Orlando nightclub shooting, the Tampa Bay Rays wore Orlando Rays caps during their game against the San Francisco Giants. The team also wore Orlando Rays caps in a spring training game on February 28, 2023, while playing home games at the Disney World's ESPN Wide World of Sports.

Hvannadalshnjúkur

Hvannadalshnjúkur (pronounced ) or Hvannadalshnúkur is a pyramidal peak on the northwestern rim of the summit crater of the Öræfajökull volcano in Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland. Its summit is the highest point in the country.

Geography
An official measurement completed in August 2005 established the height of the mountain as 2109.6 m (previously stated as 2119 m).

The peak is the only Ultra-prominent peak in Iceland.

The peak is part of the Vatnajökull National Park.

Access to the summit
The route to the top is a popular climb through numerous and frequently hidden crevasses, and, because of this, the climb calls for experienced mountain guides.
