My F-Score is 3.533333333333333, "disciplined but tolerant; a true American." My Libertarian Purity Score, http://www.bcaplan.com/cgi-bin/purity.cgi, is 143, "131-159 points: You are nearly a perfect libertarian, with a tiny number of blind spots. Think about them, then take the test over again. On the other hand, if you scored this high, you probably have a good libertarian objection to my suggested libertarian answer. :-)"

Talk:WPIX

AM or FM station
True or false: Somewhere in the United States (the state doesn't matter) there also exists a WPIX-FM and/or a WPIX-AM. 66.32.143.38 19:20, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I hope that this person has found out the answer in the nearly 2 years sence the question was postulated, but if not, you can find the answer for yourself at one of the following links. As of this date, there are no AM or FM radio stations with a callsign containing WPIX. —A 05:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Indeed, I don't think there ever was an AM station with the WPIX calls. I did, however, see a reference to "WPIX-AM-FM" in the 1965 (or was it 1966?) New York Times Index, however it may have been an error. –Wbwn 14:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Byron Allen named in talks to Buy WPIX
https://nypost.com/2018/11/08/byron-allen-seriously-interested-in-buying-tribune-media/

https://deadline.com/2018/11/byron-allen-interested-in-buying-tribune-media-1202499138/

As of 2018 there are rumors that Byron Allen is in talks to get the Tribune owned stations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:C600:8270:8869:83C5:E072:AE42 (talk) 16:57, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Kids WB end date
I noticed recently that there was an edit war concerning the end of when the Kids WB weekday programming ended. I searched a forum, and according to this thread, they stopped airing weekday cartoons at the very end of 2005. So January 2, 2006 was the first day without Kids WB weekday cartoons. ErikNY 23:27, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Station Branding
Currently, WPIX is branded "WB 11," but what will the station be called when it begins affiliation with The CW? —HG707 05:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * CW 11, of course. At least, I would imagine. Morgan Wick 00:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

The Big Picture and WPIX
For much of the 1960s until about 1970–71, WPIX ran the U.S. Army–produced The Big Picture prior to sign-off on weekends (alternating between Saturdays and Sundays, but not to the best of my knowledge on both days at the same time). I noticed, reading Les Brown's Encyclopedia of Television, about the 1969–79 license challenge, that he mentioned "footage from military training films" shown on late 1960's newscasts with the words "Via Satellite" emblazoned on screen. Since The Big Picture aired on channel 11 at the time in question, could such footage have come from that program? – Wbwn 03:02, 12 August 2006 (EDST)

WWE Smackdown on WPIX
It should be noted that WWE Smackdown is moving to WPIX three weeks before the launch of The CW. My Network TV is launching two weeks before The CW, providing interesting choices for the new My Network TV stations on what to do with those final two weeks of UPN or WB programming.

Some My Network TV stations will be airing their UPN/WB programming in late night, while others, including WWOR and the Fox stations will not show it at all. WWE Smackdown, which never has repeats (although they occasionally have clip shows) has a special situation, since its still a UPN show for the next three weeks and WWOR is not showing it. It is a station issue AND a network issue, that a special deal was made to air UPN's final three weeks of Smackdown on WPIX (and other Tribune WB-CW stations) in advance of the CW launch. Yes, Smackdown is going to be on The CW, but until the new network launches, it is still WB11 and Smackdown still is a UPN show. This is certainly something worth noting.

Now for your opinions.

 * Trivia at best. Try to think through a historical perspective: would anyone remember or even care five or ten years from now? Morgan Wick 03:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking along the same lines, but wasn't sure how to classify it. This is, more or less, a decision made at the CW network level and any written mention of it belongs in the CW article. Rollosmokes 05:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Um, actually, the decision to show it during the two weeks before CW start was a Tribune level, wasn't it? Morgan Wick 18:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Who smoosed the logo
It's all smooshed now,and I don't know how to fix it.Seamus215 21:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I have a better question: why was the logo picture changed? The previous CW 11 logo picture was fine. The one currently in the article is awful.  Rollosmokes 05:41, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Agree. It looks compressed and ugly.Seamus215 14:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * That was before I changed it in favor of the one taken from the website. I'd like to bring back the previous one (with the green background) and plug it into the logo gallery unsmushed.  Rollosmokes 16:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the "smooshing" has to do with the image being uploading under the same filename as an older image. This can be fixed by clearing your browser's cache. Another suggestion: wouldn't it just be better to use this logo? —Whomp (myedits) 02:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Expanding History?
It's already a long article, but I'd like to see one aspect of WPIX history at least touched on -- in pre-satellite days, WPIX was distributed on microwave throughout a lot of New England, enabling it to be carried by a lot of cable systems, and giving many communties an independent alternative that would not have been available off-air. Someone with more time than me ought to look up the details of the extent of that network and add it to the article.StanislavJ 20:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Should I put in a Controversy Section because it was critisized for its coverage of the London Attacks a few years ago by several newspapers? In the Daily News they did a comparison of all the TV news reports of it and it showed that the WPIX was the most irresponsible because they talked about it for a total of 5 minutes and went to 15 minutes of Bowling. And there were several on-camera, live, walkouts of some of the traffic people. Angelocasio 13:14, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking that there should be a separate page created for the 1969–79 WPIX license challenge, given all the twists and turns that took place then. Old New York Times articles, and one from Time Magazine, all dating to 1970, can be the ultimate reference for such a page. That plus the impact on the TV industry in the early 1970's and beyond, including an equally bruising license challenge for Spokane, WA's KHQ-TV (channel 6), in another famous example. –Wbwn (talk) 03:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/05/08/sinclair-broadcast-to-buy-tribune-media-for-3-9-billion-creating-nations-largest-tv-station-group/

Apparently some outlets are saying that WPIX will be the new flagship station for Sinclair when the deal is approved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.15.47.45 (talk) 19:08, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Awards Won
Didn't they win some Emmy awards for a few years?

This was on Linda Church's page:

Current WPIX Logo
I have uploaded the official logo of WPIX used in media kits and on-air. Instead, a user is trying to replace it with an image from the station website. --Liradio 06:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * How is this the official logo when it isn't on the website? And, furthermore, the OFFICIAL CW 11 logo is WHITE, not GREEN.  For these reasons, I asked you not to change it back, and as I will now seek admin help as I promised.  Rollosmokes 15:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * BUT...on Wikipedia's page for The CW in general, specifically the logo, "Note that while the logo usually appears white on green, these colors have been reversed here, so as to not appear out of place on light backgrounds." Hello? Anyone paying attention here? ViperSnake151 21:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

LATV on 11.2
Rollosmokes keeps on reverting the digital tv section back, saying there is no source for it. All I had to do is google "LATV WPIX" on google, and I found a source, very easily: In addition, all I had to do is turn on my television to channel 11.2, and LATV is there. Please stop reverting for no reason, Rollosmokes.71.183.53.9 (talk) 01:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, if this is true, then why isn't WPIX listed on LATV's website and why aren't they listed on WPIX's website in return?  TV Guide and Zap 2 It doesn't list LATV on WPIX-DT2 either (instead, it reads "To be announced").  TitanTV doesn't list WPIX-DT2 at all.  So again, it needs a written source.  Until then, it's coming off.  Rollosmokes (talk) 05:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sir, I can turn on my tv, and LATV is indeed on 11.2. I also provided you with a written source. Here is another source: I think that's quite a valid source, in addition to the fact that the channel is actually being broadcast. I undersand that you would like a validiated source, but I'd appreciate if you would not label me as posting false information, and calling me a vandal, just because I added a little piece of information.96.250.204.12 (talk) 22:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Please disregard. This is a shared IP address apparently, and the vandalism warnings don't appy to me. I will create an account to avoid confusion in the future! Sorry!96.250.204.12 (talk) 22:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I removed the information for one main reason -- the subchannel is scheduled to begin carrying LATV later in 2008. None of these articles mention when LATV will begin on the subchannel, and I can't verify that it's on the air myself, as I don't have access to any DTV signals at home.  When LATV puts WPIX on its affiliate list, or when WPIX plugs LATV on its website, then those official sources should be credited.  But, if it isn't officially launched yet, let's not be presumtive.  Rollosmokes (talk) 05:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I understand that you don't want to put it up, but it is currently being broadcast, so I wouldn't call that presumptive.Deemers (talk) 21:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Then someone needs to tell WPIX that and promote it the same way they promoted the Tube.  Rollosmokes (talk) 06:21, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

"CW" vs. "The CW"
Rollosmokes has once again been trying to force his opinion that any usage of the term "The CW" or "The WB" is incorrect. He has been informed before (here and in the following section of that page) that in infoboxes, the title or proper name is the correct usage - which means that "The CW" or "The WB" is proper. Rollosmokes has tried to claim that this is bad grammar, but that only applies to usage in a sentence. The consensus at the WGN page was to remain with the full capitalized usage in infoboxes, and on that page he was left it alone - although overnight he went on a wholesale revert campaign when I tried to correct it across several pages. Thoughts? TheRealFennShysa (talk) 17:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

 * "CW" on its own already has a specific meaning in radio communication - as Morse Code. That's been around for a lot longer and therefore really shouldn't be re-purposed to be a network name. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 21:09, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

 * What consensus? There was no consensus reached at WGN-TV, just a few folks throwing around their opinions.  This was never put to a real consensus decision.  And as for you Carlb, you should know that proper Wikifiying will eliminate any "repurposing".  This has nothing to do with you, so stay out of it.  Rollosmokes (talk) 00:28, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Consensus is a non-issue. The company is called The CW. To call them something else amounts to POV-pushing and original research on your part. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Telling people "stay out of it" as soon as they express opinions which differ from whatever agenda you're trying to force is not the Wikipedia way of doing things. Wikipedia is based on collaborative editing and consensus requires the ability of others to have input and express opinions. You have already been banned three times for assorted revert wars and this is your fourth WP:ANI incident. Please make an effort to hear out other editors who disagree with what you are doing instead of attempting to pass off your unilateral position as "consensus". --66.102.80.212 (talk) 18:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I would also ask that you stop removing comments made by others on this page. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 04:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep whatever beef you have with me away from talk page articles. Your comment was a personal attack --  a cheap shot at best, and that's why I deleted it.  Repost it and not only will it get deleted, I'll report you again.  Rollosmokes (talk) 07:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * May I suggest that everyone discuss article content respectfully and avoid phrases such as "force his opinion", "stay out of it" or "you have already been banned"; please consider striking out such phrases if you wrote them but it's usually best not to delete others' comments. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 17:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Coppertwig! A voice of reason - hopefully, it will be listened to... :) --an interested but uninvolved party, aka 4.88.61.245 (talk) 17:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * As was discussed at some length on WP:ANI, the network calls itself "The CW", so that's what its name is. It is not the place of a wikipedia editor to tell The CW what they can call themselves. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:48, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

The Logo
Ok everyone, WPIX is using two logos, the CW11 and the WPIX Circle 11 logo. Since their in the two-month transition to the new logo, please keep the CW 11 logo up until all graphics on WPIX have changed to the circle 11. Thats including program bugs, station IDs, and newscast (the new logo is only being used for promos). This might not happen till December but when the move happens, it will be the time to change the WPIX logo. --Liradio (talk) 08:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Transition not over as of 11/18/08
Whoever edited the page to say that the transition ended early is wrong. The station is still using 'CW11' on-air, including the bug during programming and their newscasts. The new logo is still mainly seen in promos. The station did have a Giants pre-game show on 11/13/08 that did showcase the new logo for 30 minutes but the main newscasts still sport the old logo for now. BiggieFats (talk) 10:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

WPIX & WPSG
WPIX is claimed to be the flagship of The CW but the WPSG entry says that WPSG is the flagship. (Unless CBS buys WPIX) --Meteorman7228 (talk) 15:48, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Both stations are flagships. WPSG is the largest O&O (it is owned by CBS) while WPIX is in NYC, the largest market in America. Fairly OddParents Freak (Fairlyoddparents1234) Megaphone-Vector.svg 22:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 16:57, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * None of the names have references, why don't we hide every name that does not have a reference and they can be un-hidden when someones takes the time to add a reference? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 05:14, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The theory is that we can keep people if they have their own wikipage, because 1) having their own page means we can presume they are notable; and 2) their own page should have some sort of reference to verify that they worked at WPIX. However, technically, if I went to one of the people's pages, and did not find a valid reference to show that they worked at WPIX, then I could remove it here.  The practical matter is that we rarely do, only because of the significant amount of time that would take.  Basically we (here, I mean Deconstructhis, myself, and one or two other editors) get rid of those people we know for should be on lists like this, because better is, well, better.  It's relatively easy to "fix" the BLP problem of redlinked + unreferenced people; actually tracking down each wikilinked page would take more time.  Essentially, we could say that that's the second step, but its a step that will probably be a long way off given how much time even the first step takes.  As for keeping people we remove hidden, the information's still in the history, so anyone can retrieve it (or, if they just find a new person, add it without having to mess around with comments).Qwyrxian (talk) 07:34, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Status: notability?
Does it make sense to limit new additions to the lists of people associated with this television station? This thread is an arguable step in a process for developing consensus opinion.

Is it appropriate at this stage of the article's development to initiate a standard for names added to this article, including:
 * (a) those who already have Wikipedia articles Per WP:NLIST, the standard basically says they 1) have to have their own article OR 2) have a valid reference proving that they both worked at WPIX and "have the same importance to the subject as would be required for the entry to be included in the text of the article according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines (including WP:Trivia sections)." In other words, they don't actually have to raise to the level of "notable enough for an article"; they instead need to meet the lower bar of "notable enough for discussion in the text of the article".
 * and
 * (b) those who are notable for something other than being associated with WPIX -- compare, e.g., Navy Cross edit history and/or Talk:War Artist#Status: notability? If a person is notable strictly based on their work at WPIX, that would be sufficient for inclusion.  For example, if there were an ex-reporter who worked at the station for 20 years and who was the feature of multiple, independent, reliable sources as being notable (i.e., not just mentioning them, but talking about them), then they could be on the list.  WP:NLIST doesn't require a secondary source of notability.

In a context informed by practices which seem to have worked out well at Navy Cross and Talk:War Artist#Status: notability?, all new additions who aren't already featured in an article could be re-redirected to this talk page section. with the following edit history explanation:
 * People listed here must have articles on Wikipedia and be notable for something other than working at WPIX -- see "Status: notability" on talk page

A. The name below is confirmed by a reliable source, but she does not have an article yet:
 * Carol Corbett <:ref>

B. The names of those with neither confirmation by a reliable source nor an article are listed below:

 * Weather team
 * Irv "Mr. G" Gikofsky - chief meteorologist; weeknights at 10 p.m.
 * Lisa Mateo - meteorologist; weekends at 6 and 10 p.m.; also morning reporter

 * Sports team
 * Lolita Lopez - sports anchor; weeknights at 10 p.m.
 * Glenn Petraitis - sports anchor; weekends at 10 p.m.

 * Reporters

 * Debra Alfarone - general assignment reporter
 * Remy Blumenfeld - entertainment reporter
 * Arthur Chi'en - general assignment reporter
 * Rob Hoell - general assignment reporter
 * Jennifer Jordan - general assignment reporter
 * Jane King - syndicated business and financial reports
 * "Kurt the CyberGuy" Knutsson - technology reporter
 * Ellyn Marks - general assignment reporter
 * Francesca Maxime - general assignment reporter

 * Greg Mocker - commentator
 * Monica Morales - general assignment reporter
 * Dr. Steven Salvatore - weekday morning medical reporter
 * Marvin Scott - senior correspondent
 * Mike Sheehan - general assignment reporter
 * Jim Smith - "Air 11" traffic reporter
 * Howard Thompson - chief investigative correspondent
 * Stephanie Tsoflias - general assignment reporter

In due course, perhaps all or most of these can be restored to the article. --Tenmei (talk) 14:09, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

 * If I understand correctly, you're recommending moving them to the talk page so that people can find them and source them. That's a fine idea.  However, your notability criteria don't match current standards for TV station articles. First, people don't need to have their own article, per WP:NLIST.  The standard basically says they 1) have to have their own article OR 2) have a valid reference proving that they both worked at WPIX and "have the same importance to the subject as would be required for the entry to be included in the text of the article according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines (including WP:Trivia sections)." In other words, they don't actually have to raise to the level of "notable enough for an article"; they instead need to meet the lower bar of "notable enough for discussion in the text of the article".
 * In addition, your second criteria does not apply. If a person is notable strictly based on their work at WPIX, that would be sufficient for inclusion.  For example, if there were an ex-reporter who worked at the station for 20 years and who was the feature of multiple, independent, reliable sources as being notable (i.e., not just mentioning them, but talking about them), then they could be on the list.  WP:NLIST doesn't require a secondary source of notability.  Now, it does make sense to me why you would have worked out that compromise on Navy Cross, given the extraordinarily large number of potential people on the list.  Past on-air tv personalities seem to be fundamentally different to me. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:10, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The criteria have been re-drafted to reflect what Qwyrxian wrote above. Changing consensus may further modify these plausible criteria.  IMO, the potential usefulness of the process proposed by this thread is worth considering. --Tenmei (talk) 02:53, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Since this discussion in April, there was a good discussion at Talk:WGN-TV, where consensus there was found to remove everyone except for anchors and those people already found notable (i.e., who have their own WP articles). All people kept must also be explicitly listed on the station's web page as current staff. As such, I'm going to trim the staff section now per these criteria.  Qwyrxian (talk) 23:47, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Is it worth noting "Channel Zero" in the article?
An episode of "Channel Zero" December 27 1948 survives as a kinescope recording. Few kinescopes survive from that year and I wonder if it is worth mentioning the series in the history section. 121.214.112.230 (talk) 22:37, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Cablevision Channel 11
I am used to watching WPIX-TV on Cablevision Channel 11. Since 17 August, that channel is now broadcasting Style (TV network), as well as Channel 176, and I can't watch WPIX-TV any more. It appears this is just one of the Tribune Company channels pulled by Cablevision. This information should be in the article.

Talk:Responsibility

A mention of authority's relationship to responsibility would be useful.

But the sublects or moral responsibility and personal responsibility should remain seperate and not be merged...

 * I don't think there's any authority involved in moral responsibility. But there may be authority involved in the concept of being "responsible to" someone.  But if I'm responsible to tenants in a building I own, for its maintenance, that doesn't means they are in "authority" over me, nor I over them.  So there's not always an authority even in that kind of responsibility. Michael Hardy 02:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Definite merge. Same subjects concerning philosophy. The distinction given between momral and personal responsability is a juridical distinction. Lapaz 05:03, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Um, moral responsibility and personal responsibility is not the same. Shouldn't there be a page for the concept of personal responsibility, as in "you are solely responsible for the choices in your life"?

Merged?
Content from Moral responsibility has been merged into this article, but it still exists as a separate article. Also, while I agree with the merge, it should have had a proper vote first. Should I go ahead and redirect the other article? (Please post to my talk page if you respond.) Jobarts-Talk 08:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)RESPONSIBILTY

This is an inappropriate merge of content; "moral responsibility" is not equivalent to "responsibility": the first is a term referenced in philosophy, in dealing with free will-- see, for example "Moral Responsibility" at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the second is a general word that is applicable to multiple usages. Combining the two eliminates the preciseness of the former, and confuses the latter. So no, don't redirect; "responsibility" is too nebulous to be the merged topic. Rather, this should be a disambiguation page. There are multiple "responsibility" articles under various disciplines, some of which would be appropriate merge together, and many already listed under "See Also":
 * Social responsibility (society)
 * Natural responsibility (redundant to social responsibility)
 * Media responsibility (possibly redundant to social responsibility)
 * Ministerial responsibility (government)
 * Collective responsibility (should be merged with ministerial responsibility)
 * Collective responsibility (doctrine) (punishment)
 * Corporate social responsibility (business)
 * Corporate responsibility (law)
 * Professional responsibility (law)
 * International responsibility (law, possibly Original Research)
 * Diffusion of responsibility (sociology, possibly Original Research)

- At the present time individual responsibility to the world collective ranges widely depending on circumstances and wealth or their absence, security or danger, economic development and so on. A tentative value might be the fraction which a person's physical mass and charge, or other quantities have, relative to the mass and charge of the Earth or the biosphere. This is rank with error though it helps understand the nature of the problem. It neglects scales such as professional experience in taking responsibility and charge, but at least puts it into the same dimensions for everyone. For instance, Earth's mass is around 6E24 kilograms, and a person's mass around 100 kilos, so in terms of planetary mass a person has an intrinsic responsibility of one part in 6E22. There are many other quantities in human existence that involved larger numbers, such as Avogadro's constant, to which this approximation is peculiarly close. 72.55.203.133 (talk) 17:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

HMS Alamein

HMS Alamein (D17) was a Later or 1943 Battle-class destroyer fleet destroyer of the British Royal Navy. She was named in honour of the Battle of El Alamein, which took place in 1942 during the Second World War, between Commonwealth forces and the German Afrika Korps.

Alamein was built by R. & W. Hawthorn, Leslie & Company Limited on the Tyne. She was launched on 12 May 1945 and commissioned on 20 March 1946.

Service
In 1946, Alamein joined the 4th Destroyer Flotilla, part of the Home Fleet. In 1948, Alamein, along with her sister-ship HMS Barrosa (D68), escorted the aircraft carrier HMS Vengeance (R71) for exercises in Northern and Home waters, though she did not join the two on their subsequent visit to Northern Ireland.

In 1950, Alamein deployed on a Home Fleet Spring Cruise, which included many other vessels, such as HMS Victorious (R38), two other carriers, the battleship HMS Vanguard (23) and many smaller vessels. The group visited the Mediterranean, including stops at Italy, and performed a number of naval exercises and fly-the-flag visits in the region. That same year, Alamein decommissioned, being placed in Reserve.

In May 1956, Alamein, as part of the 4th Destroyer Squadron once more after replacing her sister ship HMS Aisne (D22), had spells with the Home and Mediterranean Fleets, taking part in the Suez Crisis.

On 5 November 1958, in Chatham Dockyard, a fire occurred onboard Alamein. which was eventually traced to faulty wiring on radio equipment in the Wardroom, which spread to the Ops Room. Fire Parties from Alamein, HMS Corruna, whom she was alongside, plus Chatham & Gillingham fire brigades fought the blaze.

In 1959, Alamein was decommissioned and placed in Reserve for the final time, being broken up at Blyth in Northumberland in 1964.

Sparky Lyle

Albert Walter "Sparky" Lyle (born July 22, 1944) is an American professional baseball pitcher who spent sixteen seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1967 through 1982. He was a relief pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, and Chicago White Sox.

A three-time All-Star, he won the Cy Young Award in 1977, the first American League reliever so honored. He led the AL in saves in 1972 and 1976. With the Yankees, Lyle was a member of the World Series champions in 1977 and 1978, both over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Lyle co-authored, with Peter Golenbock, The Bronx Zoo, a 1979 tell-all book which chronicled the dissension within the Yankees in its World Series Championship seasons of 1977 and 1978. From 1998–2012, Lyle served as manager of the Somerset Patriots, an independent baseball team of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

Lyle is credited, alongside Rollie Fingers, with expanding the role and importance of the reliever in professional baseball beginning in the 1970s.

Early life and career
Lyle was born in DuBois, Pennsylvania, on July 22, 1944, and grew up in nearby Reynoldsville. His father was a carpenter and general contractor, and his mother a seamstress at a coffin factory. He attended Reynoldsville High School where he played varsity football and basketball. During the spring of his junior year, he began playing American Legion baseball for the DuBois team because neither his high school nor Reynoldsville fielded an organized baseball squad.

He once struck out 31 batters while pitching 14 of 17 innings in a state tournament game for DuBois. At the time, his pitching repertoire consisted of a fastball, curveball and changeup. He was brought in for a tryout with the Pittsburgh Pirates alongside Bruce Dal Canton. The Pirates signed only the latter after seeing that the speed of Lyle's pitches was no match for Dal Canton's. Lyle did succeed in catching the attention of George Staller who was a scout for the Baltimore Orioles at the time. Lyle signed with the ballclub as an amateur free agent on June 17, 1964.

He spent the opening half of his first professional campaign in 1964 with the Bluefield Orioles. He appeared in seven games, three out of the bullpen. It was the first time he was used as a reliever, an idea which he suggested to manager Jim Frey. Later that season, he would earn a promotion to the Fox Cities Foxes, where he was used exclusively as a starting pitcher in six games for the eventual Midwest League champions.

Boston Red Sox
Lyle was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the first-year draft on November 30, 1964. He progressed up the Red Sox farm system as a relief pitcher, with stops in Winston-Salem in 1965, Pittsfield in 1966 and Toronto in the first half of 1967. It was during his time at Pittsfield that he picked up the slider, a pitch that was introduced to him by Ted Williams at spring training prior to that season. Lyle recalled, "He told me it was the best pitch in baseball because it was the only pitch he couldn't hit even when he knew it was coming." The slider became the most successful pitch in his repertoire.

He was called up to Boston after Dennis Bennett was sold to the New York Mets on June 24, 1967. Lyle pitched two scoreless innings to close out a 4–3 Red Sox loss to the California Angels in his major-league debut at Anaheim Stadium on July 4. He recorded his first career save twelve days later on July 16 in Boston's 9–5 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park. His first win in the majors came on July 27 in the Red Sox's ten-inning 6–5 triumph at home over the Angels. He ended his rookie campaign with 27 mound appearances, a 1–2 record, five saves and a 2.28 earned run average (ERA). He was left off Boston's World Series roster due to a sore arm.

He registered 64 saves during the next four years, serving as the team's closer from 1969 to 1971.

New York Yankees
During spring training prior to the 1972 season on March 22, Lyle was traded to the New York Yankees for Danny Cater and a player to be named later (Mario Guerrero). The transaction proved to be one-sided as Lyle became the Yankees' bullpen ace, establishing himself as one of the best relief pitchers of the 1970s. He played a major role in the Yankees' three straight pennants from 1976 to 1978, and World Series titles in the last two of those years. In 1972, he saved 35 games, an American League record, and a major league record for left-handers; Ron Perranoski had set both marks in 1970, but John Hiller would surpass Lyle's total with 38 in 1973. In 1972, Lyle also became the first southpaw to collect 100 saves in the American League. He also finished third in the 1972 MVP voting. Lyle again led the league in saves in 1976, and in 1977 became the first AL reliever to win the Cy Young Award. He was named an American League All-Star in 1973, 1976 and 1977. In 1976, he broke Hoyt Wilhelm's American League record of 154 career saves, and the following year eclipsed Perranoski's major league mark for left-handers of 179 career saves. Through 1977, Lyle had compiled 201 career saves, and was within range of Wilhelm's career big-league record of 227. Lyle was associated with a trademark song to herald his entry into games, Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D.

But despite Lyle's 1977 Cy Young Award, the Yankees decided to upgrade the closer position in the 1977 off-season. To this end they signed Pittsburgh Pirates' reliever Rich Gossage, who had been an All-Star the previous three years and had led the American League in saves while with the Chicago White Sox in 1975. Gossage was a power pitcher as opposed to Lyle's more slider-based approach and could throw his fastball much harder than Lyle could, at or near 100 MPH on a consistent basis. Although Lyle was not opposed to the Yankees' move, he later said that they should have gotten rid of him after they signed Gossage. Lyle knew the 26-year-old Gossage was a rising star who would eventually become the go-to reliever, and Lyle was not okay with a reduced role in the Yankees' bullpen.

During the 1978 season, working mostly in middle relief appearances, Lyle appeared in 59 games and recorded nine saves, most of which were early in the season. He also posted a 9-3 record out of the bullpen, but posted his second-highest earned run average. Lyle suffered a varicose vein flareup in his pelvic area. Yankees teammate Graig Nettles quipped that Lyle went "from Cy Young to sayonara."

During the course of the season, which as noted he documented in his book, Lyle expressed a desire to leave the Yankees. One of Lyle's desired destinations was the Texas Rangers, and he believed that a deal would be done "before Christmas". On November 10, 1978, the Yankees traded him to the Rangers along with catcher Mike Heath, pitchers Larry McCall and Dave Rajsich, and minor league shortstop Domingo Ramos in exchange for outfielder Juan Beníquez, pitchers Mike Griffin, Paul Mirabella, and Dave Righetti, and minor league outfielder Greg Jemison. $400,000 in cash was paid to the Rangers.

Later career
Lyle signed a new contract with the Rangers shortly after he was acquired, with the intention of him finishing his playing career in Texas and being paid $50,000 for each of ten years as an analyst on Rangers telecasts. However, Lyle was not the same pitcher he had been in his All-Star years and it showed. He split closer duties with Jim Kern his first year in Texas and only managed thirteen saves. Lyle also posted eight losses against five wins. He was nearly dealt along with Johnny Grubb from the Rangers to the Philadelphia Phillies for Tug McGraw, Bake McBride and Larry Christenson at the 1979 Winter Meetings in Toronto, but the proposed transaction was never executed because Lyle's post-retirement deferred money issue went unresolved.

In 1980, Lyle only recorded eight saves. Entering the season as one of two contenders to break Hoyt Wilhelm's career saves record, he was caught and passed by Rollie Fingers early in the year on Fingers' way to setting a new mark himself.

Lyle was dealt to the Phillies on September 13 in a transaction that was completed when Kevin Saucier was sent to the Rangers two months later on November 19. Since he was acquired after the deadline for postseason eligibility, he did not pitch for the Phillies during the National League Championship Series nor the 1980 World Series. All the news was not positive, however, as for the first time in his career Lyle recorded an ERA above 4.00. In 1981 he saw more of the same, recording only two saves in 49 games with a 4.44 ERA and a 9-6 record.

His contract was purchased by the Chicago White Sox from the Phillies on August 21, 1982. He played his last game on September 27. He was released by the White Sox on October 12, 1982. Lyle finished his 16-year career with 238 saves, a 2.88 ERA, and a record of 99–76 in 899 games pitched — all in relief. In 1985, Fingers broke his American League record for career saves; and in 1991 Righetti surpassed Lyle's major-league record for career saves by a left-hander, though Lyle still holds the AL mark of 232.

Post-playing years
In 1998, Lyle became the first manager of the Somerset Patriots, an independent baseball league team based in Bridgewater, New Jersey. He managed the team to Atlantic League pennants in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2009, and was the Patriots' manager until November 27, 2012, when he became manager emeritus. Lyle's number 28 that he wore with the Patriots was retired on June 14, 2014.

Clubhouse antics
A noted clubhouse prankster in his playing days, Lyle was known for sneaking into the locker room during games to sit naked on birthday cakes prepared for teammates, leaving the imprint of his posterior on the frosting. In his autobiography, Lyle noted that teammate Ron Swoboda turned the tables on him by defecating on a cake which was then delivered to Lyle; Lyle said the reason why he eventually stopped his cake sitting was because of the notoriety he gained from doing it, thinking that someone might try to "put a needle in the cake" to hurt him.

As a world-class practical joker, Lyle engaged in creative pranks like putting goldfish in the dugout water cooler and ordering pizzas to be delivered to the other team's bullpen. Once, as he noted, he got revenge on Yogi Berra for using his toothpaste before games by injecting liniment into the tube; Lyle said that once the liniment came in contact with Berra's mouth it literally caused smoke to pour from his gums.

He also loved giving "hotfoots", a time-honored baseball trick where a player will sneak up on another player or reporter while they are giving an interview in the dugout. The unsuspecting victim then has a match or two placed gently in the back or side of their shoe, with the head facing out. When the moment is right, the prankster lights the match head and slinks away to watch from a distance. As soon as the flame from the slowly burning head reaches the victim’s shoe, it’s hot enough to be felt. Lyle enjoyed the final result, usually a startled yelp in the middle of a serious conversation.

Bethany, Ontario

Bethany is an unincorporated village in the Canadian province of Ontario, within the single-tier municipality of Kawartha Lakes. Bethany is centred on Highway 7A. It is located a few kilometers west of Peterborough, the largest city in the area.

It is a gateway community, where since 2000 there has been significant real-estate development, mostly in the form of individual dwellings. To the north are downhill and cross-country ski areas, mostly accessible by paved county roads.

History
By 1869, Bethany was a village with a population of 300 in the Township of Manvers, then part of Durham County. It was a station of the Port Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton Railway. Since a stream passing through the village afforded power for machinery, it was a good position for a foundry, agricultural implement works and a tannery. The average cost of improved lands was $35 per acre while wild lands were valued at $23.

Library
Bethany Public Library is part of the City of Kawartha Lakes Public Library System, which offers computer access as well as ongoing free programs. The library is in the same building as the municipal offices.

Sub post office
Bethany sub post office, part of Canada Post, offers post office boxes in the IDA Drug Mart

Schools
Most Bethany students attend schools which are part of the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. Most students in grades Junior Kindergarten to 3 attend Grandview Public School. Students in Grades 4 - 8 attend Rolling Hills Public School. Highschool students are bussed to I.E.Weldon Secondary School.

Celebrations
The town has annual celebrations throughout the summer, particularly on the May 24 Victoria Day long-weekend. Put on by the Bethany Athletic Society, responsible for maintaining the community park, and youth sports. Highlights of the Victoria Day weekend include the Classic Car show (started in 1990), Tractor pulls (started in 2005), Fireworks, Beef BBQ and the all ages Dances.

Domingos Martins

Domingos Martins is the name of a municipality in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. According to the IBGE, the municipality had 33,986 inhabitants. It has a population density of 25.9 inhabitants/km2.

Geography
Domingos Martins is approximately 60 km west of the state capital, Vitória, and is 542 meters above sea level. Bordering municipalities include Castelo, Venda Nova do Imigrante and Afonso Claudio to the west, Santa Maria de Jetiba and Santa Leopoldina to the north, Cariacica and Viana to the east, and Guarapari, Marechal Floriano, Alfredo Chaves and Vargem Alta to the south. The municipality itself is again subdivided into 5 districts (distritos): Capital (Sede in Portuguese), Aracê, Santa Isabel, Parajú and Melgaço. The total area occupied by the municipality is 1,225.327 km2.

It is in the mountainous region of the state and is marketed as the "Green City", since it is surrounded by subtropical rainforest, much of which has disappeared in the rest of the region. Within its borders lie mountains of up to 2000m, amongst which is the well-known Pedra Azul State Park consisting mainly of a quartzite rock jutting out of the surrounding landscape at 1,822m above sea level. It has a blue tinge to the stone due to the kind of lichens which grow on it, which gives the name to the formation and the park.

History
This town was founded in 1893 and was then known as Campinho. Part of the colony of Santa Isabel, it was first a secondary district but soon outgrew its capital and took the title of capital from it later on. Domingos Martins acquired its present name on 20 December 1921, given in honour of Domingos José Martins who fought in the Pernambucan revolt in 1817, when the region sought independence from Brazil. He was accused of treason and executed in Salvador on 12 June 1817.

The Lutheran-Confessional Evangelical Church in the town square ("Praça" Arthur Gerhardt-Square) was founded on 20 May 1866 and is considered the first evangelical church in Brazil to have a bell tower, as at that time only Catholic churches were permitted to build bell towers. A salient feature in the history of the municipality is the presence of Pomeranian immigrants, who came from a region that is now part of Germany and Poland. This population often finds itself in difficult-to-access areas, and many still speak East Pomeranian, though today it is thought to be extinct in their homeland.

Demographics
''Source: IBGE 2010. ''

Economy
Because it was colonized mainly by Germanic immigrants, Domingos Martins still has characteristically Germanic architecture and cuisine. This makes it a top tourist destination for Capixabas. Both tourism and agriculture are important to this municipality. The capital also holds the headquarters of a soft drink factory, "Refrigerantes Coroa", as well as a few small-scale biscuit factories which borrow their recipes from their Germanic ancestors.
