Alfred Uhl

Alfred Uhl (5 June 1909 – 8 June 1992) was an Austrian composer, violist, music teacher and conductor.

Biography
Uhl was born in Vienna and studied with Franz Schmidt at the Vienna Music Academy, receiving a diploma in composition with honours in 1932. He subsequently worked as Kapellmeister of the Swiss Festspielmusik in Zürich. While there he composed scores for a variety of cultural and industrial films. He returned to Vienna in 1938 and in 1940 was drafted into the Austrian Army. From 1940 to 1942 he commanded a French prison camp in Neumarkt. He joined the faculty of the Vienna Music Academy in 1945, where he taught theory, orchestration and composition until his retirement in 1980. One of his notable students was Alfred Prinz. He was the recipient of the Vienna Schubert Prize (1943), the Austrian State Prize (1960), the Vienna Music Prize (1961), the Viennese Gold Medal of Honour (1969) and the Austrian Badge of Honour for Service and Arts (1980). He also served as the president of the Austrian Gesellschaft der Autoren, Komponisten und Musikverleger (1970) and the Künstler-Union (1976).

As a composer, Uhl synthesized elements from neo-classicism, atonality, serialism and traditional tonal and contrapuntal idioms. His vibrant style combined technical sophistication and musical charm with wit and humour, rhythmic inventiveness, thematic development and advanced harmonic language. He wrote eight film scores, one opera, several choral works, and multiple symphonic and chamber music pieces. He wrote extensively for the clarinet, including educational material and works that are still common repertoire. His most famous educational pieces are the two volumes which comprise 48 Studies. His Divertimento for Three Clarinets and Bass Clarinet is one of the most performed works for the medium. Written in 1942 for clarinettists from the Vienna Philharmonic, it is a demanding three-movement work structured similarly to a conventional concerto.

48 Studies for clarinet
Two volumes of 24 studies each, first published in 1940 by Schott Music, were designed to familiarise the advancing clarinettist with some of the more difficult possibilities being written in modern instrumental music. This is stated by Uhl himself in a foreword to some, but not all editions. As such, they occasionally include intervals which require sliding over keys on the French system of clarinet, a technique that is generally frowned upon unless, as in these cases, it cannot be avoided.

The studies are characterized by their extensive use of neo-romantic chromaticism and rhythmic complexity. Occasionally viewed as less musical and more technical than most studies, some clarinetists consider it a second goal to bring out the musicality of each piece, which may be hidden behind technical complexities.

Uhl was assisted by Leopold Wlach of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, who made suggestions and revisions throughout the writing process.

End archived discussion

What does the DRAM price inflation have to do with Micron?
The last two paragraphs read quite awkwardly and disrupt the flow of the article. I was going to try to simply fix the wording, but when I tried to reword them in light of their relation to the rest of the article, I couldn't figure out why their content was even the slightest bit relevant. Micron wasn't even charged in the mentioned case or involved in the scandal. If you read the referenced article you'll find that the only mention of Micron is when a regional officer didn't submit documents that were subpoenaed.

And that sudden quote at the end? Why quote that part of the article? What purpose does it serve? Did that revisionist just say, "Hey, let's throw in a random quote for good measure. I know it doesn't make any sense, and I'm not going to tie it in or give it context in my revision, but who cares?" It comes from out of nowhere and is not attributed or explained in the text. You can't just make sudden quotes and expect everyone to understand why you placed them... or even care.

If poor style and confusing placement aren't enough, these two final paragraphs imply incorrectly that Micron was complicit in the DRAM price scandal. The fact that one employee of Micron was involved doesn't mean the whole company was. Why make implications like this when they're not true? And if Micron wasn't involved as a corporation, why mention it in their company's page? What makes this piece of information important enough to feature here? What a terrible way to conclude this article.

In the context of this article as a whole, these last two paragraphs seem like random, unrelated trivia that most people certainly wouldn't care about. They were written in sloppy style, in poor grammar, and in bad taste, a stark contrast to the rest of the article.

I'm removing these last two paragraphs.

Other products
Micron made four models of their Xceed color video cards for the Macintosh SE/30, and an optional adapter to display greyscale video on the SE/30's internal CRT. Micron also made ISA bus memory expansion boards for the IBM PC/AT and clones. The company is currently exploring entering the photovoltaic market as a way to re-purpose some of their obsolete semiconductor fabrication facilities. Micron produced some of their own motherboards for their computers, mostly in the 486 and early Socket 7 era. Currently, AFAIK, the only fully finished products the company makes are the memory modules sold through their Crucial Technology division.

 * Definitely promotional. At least they're trying to distinguish themselves from all the other meta-search engines by listing specific features, but I'm sure that was done to lure people to site rather than to make the article encyclopedic.  Delete this worthless ad, which was undoubtedly added by an anonymous user — checking — yup.  These things always are.  --Ardonik 03:44, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. This one really does stand out from other metasearch engines.  (Bias notice:  I'm the one who came across this while patrolling New Pages and stubified it.)  The listing of specific features was done by me, specifically because those features make this one notable, not by someone trying to lure people.

I also claim that Slashdot people usually are smelly and eat their boogers, and have an IQ slightly lower than my daughters pet hamster (that's "hamster" without a "p", btw, for any slashdot posters out there. Try to follow me, ok?).

Furthermore, I claim that anybody that hasn't noticed by now that I'm an opinionated bastard, and that "impolite" is my middle name, is lacking a few clues.

Finally, it's clear that I'm not only the smartest person around, I'm also incredibly good-looking, and that my infallible charm is also second only to my becoming modesty.

Bloomingdale's

Bloomingdale's Inc. is an American luxury department store chain founded in 1861 by Joseph Bloomingdale and Lyman Bloomingdale. It was acquired by Federated Department Stores in 1930, which acquired the Macy’s department store chain in 1994, when they became sister brands. Ultimately, Federated itself was renamed Macy’s, Inc. in 2007.

As of the end of 2023, the chain had a total of 32 owned department stores in the U.S. and 3 franchised stores in Dubai and Kuwait; 21 outlet stores (all in the U.S.), and 2 Bloomie's by Bloomingdales concept stores.

Its headquarters and flagship store are located at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue in the New York City borough of Manhattan.

Founding (1861)
The first Bloomingdale's was founded in New York City by Benjamin Bloomingdale and his son Lyman Bloomingdale in 1861 in its Lower East Side area, originally under the name Bloomingdale's Hoopskirts, initially focused on selling hoop skirts and European fashions. The brothers quickly identified opportunities for growth and expansion in the dynamic retail landscape of the time.In 1872, Lyman and his brother Joseph opened a second location called Bloomingdale's Great East Side Bazaar in Midtown Manhattan at 965 Third Avenue, between 56th & 57th Sts. The Bazaar later moved into three adjacent buildings further up the block before finally moving into a building at 59th St. and Third Avenue, where its flagship store remains today.

Relocations and expansion (1860s-1890s)
In the subsequent years, Bloomingdale's underwent a series of relocations and expansions. The brothers moved the store from its original location to a larger space on 59th Street and Third Avenue. As the business flourished, necessitating more significant retail space, the store moved once again to its iconic location at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue in 1886. This move marked a turning point, solidifying the store's position as a prominent retail destination.

In 1872, the store changed its name to "Bloomingdale's", reflecting the family name but also symbolized the flourishing and growth of their business.

Joseph Bloomingdale retired from the company in 1896, giving his brother Lyman full control, and Lyman's sons Hiram and Samuel inherited his shares upon his death in 1905.

20th century
As the 20th century dawned, Bloomingdale's embraced innovative retail practices. The introduction of the department store window display in the late 19th century set a trend, making the store more visually appealing and attracting attention from passersby. This approach contributed to the store's reputation for being fashion-forward.

By 1902, the store grew to occupy 80 percent of the city block between 58th St. and 59th St. to the north and south, and Third Avenue and Lexington Avenue to the east and west.

After the New York City Subway debuted, the store's primary entrance was shifted to its Lexington Avenue side in 1918 to draw customers coming from the nearby IRT Lexington Avenue Line stop at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue. Given that the U.S. was involved in World War I, Samuel Bloomingdale gave the American Red Cross free use of an entire floor there until the war ended. By 1927, after acquiring all the remaining portions along it, Bloomingdale's controlled 100 percent of the block, expanding the store's size to 84,000 square feet (later nearly quadrupled via newly added floor space).

Like most publicly traded companies, Bloomingdale's faced severe financial problems following the Black Tuesday stock market crash in 1929, and it merged with the newly created Federated Department Stores in early 1930, which helped it survive the Great Depression.

1945–1960: American designers and fashion influence
After World War II, Bloomingdale's played a crucial role in shaping post-war American fashion. The store actively engaged with European designers and trends, as well as promoting American designers, and was an influencer in fashion trends and the evolution of American fashion sensibilities. This period marked a phase of continued growth and influence for Bloomingdale's, solidifying its status as a premier department store. By the 1950s, Bloomingdale's had become an established and influential retail institution. The store's commitment to offering a wide range of high-quality merchandise and its role in shaping fashion trends laid the foundation for its continued growth and legacy in the decades to come.

First branch stores
In 1947, and tandem with America's economic boom after World War II, Bloomingdale's opened its first store outside of Manhattan in New Rochelle, a New York City suburb, where it assumed control of the former Ware's Department Store. After concluding that using pre-existing buildings could have been a better fit with its tried-and-true floor layouts, the company debuted its first custom-built store in 1949, located in the Fresh Meadows neighborhood across the East River in Queens. Over 25,000 people visited on its first day of business.

1960-1975
During the 1960s, Bloomingdale's shifted its merchandise mix to incorporate haute couture fashions imported from Paris and home furnishings from Italy. It also launched its first single designer-specific department in 1969, for Halston, one that was quickly followed later that year by a dedicated Polo Ralph Lauren boutique in its men's store. By the early 1970s, Bloomingdale's had begun embracing avant-garde European design, and following the United Nations recognition of China in 1971, it became the first American retailer to sell products from Communist-era China. Its iconic rounded logo debuted in 1972, followed a year later by its "Big Brown Bag" and "Little Brown Bag," all of which remain in use today. Bloomingdale's continued to thrive throughout the 1970s, despite New York City's turbulence at the time, partly via continued expansions into the suburbs. Its largest branch opened in White Plains, New York in 1975, with 260,000 square feet of floor space, and shortly after that, Bloomingdale's shuttered its original, but much smaller, New Rochelle branch.

Expansion beyond New York area
In 1976, Bloomingdale's launched its first store outside of the New York City area in Tysons, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C. in Northern Virginia. The First Lady at the time, Betty Ford, attended its opening as its guest of honor.

In 1981, Bloomingdale's opened a branch at the King of Prussia Mall in suburban Philadelphia, then the largest mall in the world. Other new stores opened as well, along the East Coast, Florida, Chicago, and in Dallas, Texas. In 1988, Canadian real estate developer Robert Campeau launched a hostile takeover attempt of the company, successfully acquiring it for $6.6 billion: it was the largest non-oil corporate merger ever at the time.

Economic challenges (1990s)
Bloomingdale's faced continued economic challenges in the early 1990s, resulting in the closures of its Dallas, Fresh Meadows, and Stamford, Connecticut locations. In 1994, Federated Stores acquired the entire Macy's chain, which had been in bankruptcy for two years. In 1996, Bloomingdale's expanded to the U.S. West Coast, converting four former chains of The Broadway, which it acquired via its merger with Macy's, in Southern California into Bloomingdale's stores in a single day. Bloomingdale's continued growth and shuttering of duplicative locations stemming from Macy's merger.

21st century
In 2004, the company returned once again to downtown Manhattan, opening an 82,000-square-foot store – featuring an "edited" selection of the flagship store's offerings – in SoHo.

In 2007, Bloomingdale’s expanded into San Diego (Fashion Valley) and Costa Mesa (South Coast Plaza), once again by replacing former Robinsons-May stores that closed in 2006, in each case because there were already existing Macy's stores in each mall. In 2006, Bloomingdale's opened its largest store save its Manhattan flagship in San Francisco's Union Square, 330000 sqft in area.

On June 1, 2007, Federated Stores changed its corporate name to Macy's, given its more robust name recognition, but left its Bloomingdale's store names intact.

On February 14, 2008, parent company Macy's, Inc. announced plans to enter the Phoenix market with a 180,000-square-foot store by 2009. Arizona would have been the thirteenth state to have a Bloomingdale's store location, with this store being the tenth in the western U.S. and 41st throughout the chain. This store never materialized as a result of the Great Recession in 2008 and 2009.

In May 2008, Bloomingdale's began the phase-out of its Bloomingdale's By Mail catalog to greater emphasize its rapidly growing online presence at bloomingdales.com. On September 10, 2008, Macy's announced plans to open three new Bloomingdale's stores, two modeled after its SoHo store. One was intended to be a three-level 82000 sqft anchor store at The Shops at Georgetown Park in Washington, D.C., but the plan collapsed after the mall's parent company declared bankruptcy. The other two stores were completed, including a new 150000 sqft branch at Westfield Valley Fair in San Jose, California, and a 205000 sqft store in Santa Monica Place, in Santa Monica, CA. The latter debuted in early 2010. San Jose's debut was delayed until 2020, primarily due to the Great Recession, and Santa Monica closed in 2021 due to subpar performance.

In February 2010, Macy's launched Bloomingdale's first international location in Dubai. As is the case for rival Saks Fifth Avenue, the global presence for Bloomingdale's is operated under license by a local interest: in this case, Al Tayer Group LLC, a leading UAE-based conglomerate. Bloomingdale's CEO announced that the Dubai store would most likely be the only store outside of the U.S. (The company's leaders later had a change of heart, and opened a branch in Kuwait in 2017.) Later in 2010, the company launched its first outlet store at Potomac Mills, located outside of Washington, D.C.

In 2012, Macy's Inc. closed four Bloomingdale's stores, one each in the Minneapolis (Mall of America), Atlanta (Perimeter), Washington DC (White Flint), and Chicago (Oak Brook) areas.

In late 2019, Macy's announced that fur would no longer be sold in any of its stores, including Bloomingdale's department & outlet stores, as of the end of the 2020 fiscal year.

As part of an initiative to better establish its New York flagship store as a "retail destination," designed to allure shoppers who primarily purchase department store goods online, Bloomingdale's introduced new departments and offerings throughout the decade, including a branch of Magnolia Bakery and a boutique for Sarah Jessica Parker's SJC Collection shoe line. It was the first department store in New York to offer the latter. In 2018 and 2019, Bloomingdale's remodeled nearly 200,000 square feet inside the store, wholly revamping its denim, cosmetics, shoes, and women's contemporary clothing departments.

In March 2020, Macy's, Inc. announced that it would temporarily close all Bloomingdale's and Macy's locations as a result of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 pandemic. Its original plan to reopen at the end of March quickly evaporated due to the pandemic's rapid spread, as did its intent to do so by the end of April 2020: as was the case with most brick-and-mortar retailers, Macy's ended up closing some of its stores for a year or more, with reopening days that varied depending on their locations. Some did not reopen until late 2021.

On September 9, 2022, Bloomingdale's celebrated its 150th anniversary, featuring a variety of special events and unique merchandise offerings through the end of the year at its Manhattan flagship location.

WBUR-FM

WBUR-FM (90.9 FM) is a public radio station located in Boston, Massachusetts, owned by Boston University. Its programming is also known as WBUR News. The station is the largest of three NPR member stations in Boston, along with WGBH and WUMB-FM and produces several nationally distributed programs, including On Point, Here and Now and Open Source. WBUR previously produced Car Talk, Only a Game, and The Connection (which was cancelled on August 5, 2005). RadioBoston, launched in 2007, is its only purely local show. WBUR's positioning statement is "Boston's NPR News Station". The station's transmitter is located in Needham, while its studio is located on the Boston University campus.

WBUR also carries its programming on two other stations serving Cape Cod and the Islands: WBUH (89.1 FM) in Brewster, and WBUA (92.7 FM) in Tisbury. The latter station, located on Martha's Vineyard, uses the frequency formerly occupied by WMVY. In 1998, the station helped launch WRNI in Providence, Rhode Island—the first NPR station within that state's borders. It has since sold the station to a local group.

According to Ken Mills, a Minneapolis broadcast consultant and Nielsen data, the number of WBUR listeners has grown since 2012, increasing from 409,000 to 534,400. In 2017, WBUR was named the sixth-most popular NPR news station in the United States.

Programming
WBUR programs On Point and Here and Now are carried nationwide in the US on hundreds of public radio stations and on XM Radio's public radio station, XM Public Radio. In total, WBUR produces more than 25 hours of news and programming each week.

On Point is a one-hour discussion show formerly hosted by Tom Ashbrook, currently hosted by Meghna Chakrabarti, broadcast weekdays. It began as 'special programming' in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, originally airing from 7 to 9 p.m. It took over the time slot of the similar The Connection when that show was cancelled in 2005.

Here and Now is a news and culture digest show hosted by Scott Tong, Robin Young, and Deepa Fernandes normally consisting of several interview segments with reporters, authors, artists and statesmen. It began as a regional and local show but soon expanded to cover national and international issues. The show is syndicated nationally by more than 400 other NPR member stations.

Open Source is a weekly show hosted by Christopher Lydon, former New York Times journalist and original host of The Connection. The show focuses on the arts, literature, and foreign affairs.

In 2007, WBUR launched Radio Boston, a weekly radio show featuring longtime Boston journalist David Boeri. The show was later hosted by Jane Clayson Johnson as a one-hour discussion and interview, though Boeri still introduced each show with a report from the field. In 2010, Radio Boston expanded to broadcast Monday through Friday. In the fall of 2010, new host Meghna Chakrabarti went on maternity leave and was temporarily replaced by WBUR reporter Sacha Pfeiffer. Chakrabarti returned to co-host the show with Anthony Brooks until she was elevated to host On Point. In June 2019, the station announced that Tiziana Dearing, a longtime commentator and contributor at the station, would be the permanent host of the program.

Only A Game was a weekly sports program broadcast twice on Saturdays. The show was hosted by Bill Littlefield until 2018 and was syndicated to about 210 affiliate stations by National Public Radio. The wide-ranging program described itself as "irreverent" and often covered sports from a human interest angle, rather than appealing directly to a particular fan base.

On Sunday evenings, WBUR-FM also broadcasts a show entitled Boston University's World of Ideas. The show features academics and intellectuals presenting lectures and answering questions on issues of national or global importance.

The 3-minute comedy sketch series 11 Central Ave, broadcast on WBEZ in Chicago, was for a time recorded at WBUR.

WBUR began producing podcasts in 2014. Current productions include Dear Sugar Radio, an advice podcast with Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond; and Modern Love, a partnership with The New York Times.

History
WBUR first went on the air March 1, 1950, with studios and transmitter located at 84 Exeter Street in Boston. Initially, most of WBUR's staff were Boston University students, with the station broadcasting primarily classical, jazz and BU sporting events. In the early 1960s, the station moved from Exeter Street to the newly renovated School of Communications building at 640 Commonwealth Avenue. By the 1970s, WBUR began receiving funding from the Corporation For Public Broadcasting and became a "public radio station" with a professional staff. Volunteer BU students continued local programming on WTBU using unlicensed low-power carrier-current AM transmitters serving the BU residence halls. In 1997 the WBUR offices and studios moved to a new facility on the BU campus at 890 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the station had several jazz music and classical music programs. The disc jockeys demonstrated a broad knowledge of composers, performers, and the execution of jazz, demonstrating familiarity with such matters as improvisation and shared this with listeners. ' Noteworthy jazz and classical disc jockeys included Dennis Boyer (classical: FM in the PM), Steve Elman (jazz: Spaces), Tony Cennamo (jazz: New Morning and subsequently, a night-time show), James Isaacs (jazz), and Jose Masso (Latin: Con Salsa). One exception to this was the expansion of overnight programming, most notably the 2-to-6 Shift hosted By Kevin Vandenbroek and Bob King. It lasted about nine months when it was cancelled by the Station Manager Bonnie Cronin. This act led to the Director of Programming Victor S. Wheatman to resign.

At the end of the 1980s, WBUR began replacing many of its music programs with news and information programming from NPR, Public Radio International (which was merged into Public Radio Exchange in 2019) and the BBC. This brought WBUR into head-on competition with another major Boston-area NPR station, WGBH. WGBH eventually decided to retain a mostly music (classical music daytime/jazz nights) and cultural programming format (WBUR's former territory), although WGBH did broadcast NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

By the early 1990s, with the exception of Con Salsa on Saturday nights, WBUR had adopted an around-the-clock news and information format. Numerous NPR member stations have since followed WBUR's lead and eliminated music programming in favor of news and information programming (including rival WGBH, which transferred classical music programming to WCRB following its acquisition in 2009, though WGBH continued to program jazz at night until July 2012 and still airs a few hours of jazz on weekends). By 2009, the majority of NPR member stations were programming 24/7 news and information formats.

WBUR's main transmitter operates at 8,600 watts, which on paper is somewhat modest for a full NPR member on the FM band. However, due to its antenna's height (1,174 feet) and configuration, WBUR broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 60,000 watts. It decently covers much of eastern Massachusetts, though it does not penetrate nearly as far to the south and north as WGBH-FM penetrates.

Cape Cod
During the 1990s, WBUR began expanding onto Cape Cod. In 1992, it partnered with Cape Cod Regional Technical High School to air WBUR programming over its WCCT-FM (90.3) when students were not on the air. The following year, WBUR reached similar arrangements with WSDH (91.5 FM) at Sandwich High School and WKKL (90.7 FM) at Cape Cod Community College. In 1997, auto dealer Ernie Boch Sr. donated WUOK (1240 AM) in West Yarmouth, which had been simulcasting WXTK, to Boston University, which changed its call letters to WBUR and made it a full-time satellite of WBUR-FM (which added the "-FM" suffix to accommodate the West Yarmouth station as AM stations always have the base callsign). WBUR programming was then dropped from WKKL in 1999, as the 1240 AM signal can be heard in much of WKKL's coverage area.

On November 27, 2012, WBUR announced that it would acquire WMVY (92.7 FM) in Tisbury (on Martha's Vineyard) to serve as an additional satellite, under the call letters of WBUA. The transaction was completed on February 8, 2013; at midnight that night, WBUA began to carry the WBUR schedule. WMVY's adult album alternative programming continued through an online stream and eventually they acquired a new FM facility on 88.7 and expanded it into the current incarnation of WMVY. The acquisition of WBUA rendered the 1240 AM facility redundant; on August 5, 2013, BU announced that it would be sold to Alex Langer, who would program it with Portuguese-language programming similar to that of another Langer station, WSRO. The call letters of 1240 AM were changed to WBAS on February 1, 2014, two days after BU and Langer agreed to a time brokerage agreement. Soon afterward, WSDH also dropped WBUR's programming. WBUR added another Cape Cod satellite on May 23, 2014, with the sign-on of WBUH in Brewster; this station broadcasts at a higher power than other noncommercial stations on Cape Cod, allowing it to serve the majority of the region (the exception is the Falmouth area, which is within WBUA's coverage area). BU had sought to build a station on Cape Cod since 2004 and applied for the 89.1 facility in Brewster in 2007, but in March 2011 the Federal Communications Commission issued the construction permit to Home Improvement Ministries, who subsequently sold the permit to BU. WBUR ended its agreement with WCCT-FM on September 30, 2014.

Rhode Island
In 1998, WBUR helped to found Rhode Island's NPR station WRNI. At the time Rhode Island was one of two states lacking an NPR station. WBUR decided to partner with the newly formed Foundation for Ocean State Public Radio to build a state-of-the-art facility at historic Union Station in downtown Providence. Initially, WBUR invested heavily in WRNI's local programming, but several of these programs were soon canceled, and its schedule became almost identical to that of WBUR. In 2004, WBUR announced suddenly that it planned to drop WRNI by selling it, raising a number of questions. Rhode Islanders were angry at the thought that they would be forced to buy a station they had invested greatly in creating. It was later revealed that the WBUR management believed WRNI was a financial drain and wished to get rid of it. The resulting management turmoil caused the departure of longtime WBUR station manager Jane Christo. Eventually, the Foundation for Ocean State Public Radio, renamed Rhode Island Public Radio, bought the station in 2008; it has since rebranded as The Public's Radio.

Pro-Israel boycott
Between 2001 and June 2002, WBUR estimated that it lost between $1–2 million due to the loss of at least six underwriters and a number of small donors. This was the result of a boycott launched by Jewish groups who charged that NPR coverage of the Middle East was biased against Israel. Boston is a major center for the American Jewish community and this made Israel a particularly sensitive subject. The boycott started in October 2001, when two Boston-area businesses ended contracts: WordsWorth Books (now defunct) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Cognex Corp. in nearby Natick, Massachusetts. The two businesses were reportedly tied with the advocacy group Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), a persistent critic of NPR's coverage for almost a decade. CAMERA has demonstrated outside National Public Radio (NPR) stations in 33 cities in the United States.

The CAMERA boycott also extended to The New York Times and The Washington Post. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting and explicitly pro-Palestinian organizations have made contradictory accusations of pro-Israel bias in NPR's coverage or imbalance in particular stories. NPR's ombudsman and an independent reviewer appointed by the agency found "lack of completeness but strong factual accuracy and no systematic bias" in reporting on the controversial issue.

2020 layoffs and cost cuts
In mid-June 2020, WBUR laid off 29 employees, more than 10 percent of the station's staff, and ended the Only A Game syndicated program due to the ongoing COVID-19 recession. In an email to all staff members, the station announced a spending cut of 13 percent, elimination of wage increases, a hiring freeze, and a 10 percent pay cut for Margaret Low, the current chief executive.

2024 layoffs and cost cuts
In April 2024, CEO Margaret Low announced layoffs and buyouts amid a financial crisis. The station is eliminating seven positions, and 24 employees, including four senior leadership team members, are taking voluntary buyouts. These cuts come as WBUR faces a $7 million decline in on-air sponsorship income and aims to reduce its budget by $4 million. In addition to staff reductions, the station is implementing cost-saving measures such as eliminating unfilled positions, reducing travel expenses, and negotiating lower rates for contracted services.

To further save costs, Low will take a ten percent pay cut as part of the cutback, Peet's coffee will no longer be purchased for the station, and cell phones will not be covered for any non-represented colleagues.

Talk:The Mamas & the Papas

The Mamas and the Papas album
Added here from the album talk page: I have come across this album page and found a bit of a problem with a lot of what is written. It goes into who sang on the album given that Michelle was fired in June 66 and even has books discussing what happened. However, despite the listed August 30 release date (which I assume is the US release date) - the album was actually first released in June in the UK. So it's most likely that Michelle features on all of it. The album enters the charts on 19 June 1966, which would suggest it had to have been available for at least a week beforehand. Highly unlikely any work could have been done on the album after 4 June. As for the talk about the album cover, well that's even more confusing. Here is the UK release of the album, which seems to be the same as the album featured here. Anyone any thoughts as to how reference books could actually have ignored that this album was effectively already released by the time she was fired.Tuzapicabit (talk) 11:03, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Correcting the band's name
I am aware that what I am about to do has the possibility of being controversial, but I am going to change the way the band's name is written throughout this article and even in its title. The official name of the band is "The Mamas and the Papas." To support this assertion, I refer you to the band's website https://www.themamasandthepapasofficial.com/content/about. While the band has used the ampersand in its name and in its albums, the official name of the band, as referenced not only on its website, but also in Rolling Stone magazine and in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is "The Mamas and the Papas." One must assume that the band's name as inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/mamas-and-papas) is its correct name, since the RRHF would have had to have had the proper spelling of its name confirmed by the members of the band, its management, record label and any entity with a legal interest in the band. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it should use the official name of the band and not the more casual version, even if the band has used the casual version, itself. I don't want to start an editing war, here, so I encourage any changes to my edit be discussed before a reversal is made. There are many good references that could contradict my editing. However, again, I believe we should defer to the band's official website and the manner in which it refers to itself when describing who it is. Thank you. MarydaleEd (talk) 21:06, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for working hard on this article, ! I appreciate the attention to detail. -- Cloud atlas (talk) 15:32, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you! It isn't often someone gets a "thank you" on Wikipedia. Usually, all we get are complaints. Your kindness is much appreciated! MarydaleEd (talk) 21:29, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall the band's name being (at least initially) The Mama's and the Papa's. I remember this particularly because of a comment in Melody Maker that said "Note the carefully placed apostrophes". There seems to be nothing about this in the article.

Paul Magnussen (talk) 20:56, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Name of record label
Please do not shorten the name of the record label. This is formal writing for an encyclopedia, not casual prose. Dunhill Records is an entity, not a person. It is proper for the full name of the company to be used in all references. I do not seek an editing war and will not participate in one. I am putting the name back as it should be and ask that further attempts to shorten it to a casual reference cease. I have worked hard to make this a better article, as have the good people who came behind me and corrected my mistakes. I will make no further edits. You can shorten the name, change the name or delete the name. However, it is my position as a professional editor with 40 years experience that the entity be referred to by its proper name in all references, Dunhill Records. MarydaleEd (talk) 23:02, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

 * That position seems extraordinary to me. I've raised it for discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Music, so you may wish to comment there.  Regards (and thanks for your improvements to the article otherwise), Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:40, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees
I am aware that there was a short discussion about removing Wikipedia's acknowledgement of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, but it is my assessment that there was not enough time or input from enough editors to call such a decision a "consensus." The short discussion that occurred appears to have happened over the course of two days and saw the involvement of only two participants other than the person who suggested removing the designation. Before such a policy is adopted, there should be a robust and hearty discussion over the course of time so that there is enough input from other editors. There is no urgency to support rushing through the process of instituting a new policy. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a huge achievement for the few who attain such status. Wikipedia acknowledges when a baseball player is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, as it does when someone is an inductee into the Professional Football Hall of Fame. I refer you to the Wikipedia page of George Blanda, for example. I might note, also, that Wikipedia has at least three articles on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Covers. If, after a hearty discussion has been made and a consensus has been reached, Wikipedia decides to eliminate referencing when a band or a person is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, then I will be happy to abide by that decision. However, I do not believe that there has been ample time or input from others to, at this point, call such a decision a "consensus." I do not know how to initiate the process by which such a debate can be undertaken, so if someone will enlighten me on how to start that conversation so that others will know that it is taking place and so that several voices can be heard, then I will be happy to start the process. Until that time, it is my contention that the designation should remain. Thank you. MarydaleEd (talk) 21:22, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Subject and verb agreement
I just wanted to quickly raise the point of issue between the subject and verb agreement within the first sentence of the article. ‘The Mamas and the Papas were/was... I realise this grammatical difference maybe contentious between Speakers of AE and BE. However, what is most important is that whatever form is used there is consistency, and ‘were’ correctly aligns with the rest of the article.

Generally, band names take a singular or plural verb based upon on the form of the name used. In this case the plural noun is preceded by the word ‘the’ which describes the members that make up the group as a collective. Hence, I disagree that the noun is being treated as an impersonal singular unit, and as otherwise it sounds plural, and being a native British speaker I believe ‘were’ to be correct in this instance.

I won’t change it again. I’m not interested in an edit war, it’s only one word! But I just wanted to share my view. Hope you are good wherever you are. Peace out. Blackadder93 (talk) 10:07, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Edit: I meant the band name contains the word ‘the’ and has plural words in the title. It is part of the title and doesn’t precede it, sorry - I kind of rushed my thoughts there.

Anyway, after some digging from other sources, I’ve noticed this argument comes up a lot with little agreement.

In British english there is a tendency to pluralise all band names, and in American english there is a tendency to use a singular verb with collective nouns. However, I stand by my original point.

Finally, the band members are often referred to on individual terms eg. Mama Cass. I hope this further supports my position. Ultimately, I think it’s a stylistic difference between AE and BE. I agree with were, but in the event that it is changed again, at the very least, please make sure it’s consistent with the rest of the article, otherwise it makes no sense. Cheers :)  Blackadder93 (talk) 11:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Which Phillips
In the opening paragraph it says "Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by Phillips," but there are two "Phillips" in the band so it is unclear which one. Also seems slightly sexist that it seems to be assumed that it is John that is is referring to.--Rjhberg (talk) 21:03, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello, people! My name is Raquel, I'm 18 and I live in Brazil. I like to correct and add things to anime articles, specially Inuyasha. If you like my contributions, fell free to edit this page and say "hello" ^_^

OK, you can make the text summary of your edit by typing the summary in the Edit summary text box at the bottom of the edit page. Regarding whether I wrote the IY article, only a little of it. BTW, if we want to make the article bigger, it would probably be better to split it into sections like InuYasha Characters and InuYasha Items or something like that because when the page gets too big some people have trouble editing it...

-- EmperorBMA|話す 20:04, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

OK, the first note is that there's a standard to use ō instead of ou for Japanese words (even tho the kana literally say -おう (ou)). You may want to read Manual of Style for Japan-related articles regarding the current usage. The reason the articles about Kikyou and Shippou are spelled Kikyo and Shippo is that Wikipedia's software doesn't support the special character ō in article names and it appears like garbage, so we have to approximate with "o".

What I was meaning by sections is to create new articles for each group of stuff, and move it out of the main article... then link to the new page. See Love Hina or Neon Genesis Evangelion for examples where this has been done.

BTW in case you didn't know, you can sign and date messages with ~ and it will automatically make it link to your user page. You can change what it says in your preferences. To just sign, use 3 tildes.

Image source problem with Image:Ragnarok comodo city.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Ragnarok comodo city.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

Fair use rationale for Image:Ragnarok comodo city.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ragnarok comodo city.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SilentAria talk 23:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Errors in relationship image
Your image, Image:Inuyashacharactersrelationshipguide.jpg, contains factual errors. Sesshomaru does not hate Jaken, although he treats him contemptuously at the beginning. Rin does not hate Kagura, although she feared her at first. Kagome never hated Kikyo, and Kikyo hatred of Kagome is short-lived. JRSpriggs (talk) 07:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Locomotion logo.gif
Thank you for uploading Image:Locomotion logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Siroi danmakukun.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Siroi danmakukun.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:51, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Jambonet

Jambonet is a Kenyan internet service provider. Until June 30, 2004, it operated as the sole carrier of international internet traffic to and from Kenya. Its monopoly partially ended on that date under terms of which the government of Kenya began licensing other companies to compete in the field of internet telephony. Jambonet currently uses four VSAT satellites to carry the country's internet traffic.

Jambonet is a subsidiary of Telkom Kenya.
