Virtue epistemology

Virtue epistemology is a current philosophical approach to epistemology that stresses the importance of intellectual and specifically epistemic virtues. Virtue epistemology evaluates knowledge according to the properties of the persons who hold beliefs in addition to or instead of the properties of the propositions and beliefs. Some advocates of virtue epistemology also adhere to theories of virtue ethics, while others see only loose analogy between virtue in ethics and virtue in epistemology.

Intellectual virtue has been a subject of philosophy since the work of Aristotle, but virtue epistemology is a development in the modern analytic tradition. It is characterized by efforts to solve problems of special concern to modern epistemology, such as justification and reliabilism, by focusing on the knower as agent in a manner similar to how virtue ethics focuses on moral agents rather than moral acts.

The area has a parallel in the theory of Unity of knowledge and action proposed by Chinese philosopher Wang Yangming.

The Raft and the Pyramid
Virtue epistemology was partly inspired by a recent renewal of interest in virtue concepts among moral philosophers, and partly as a response to the intractability of the competing analyses of knowledge that arose in response to Edmund Gettier. Ernest Sosa introduced intellectual virtue into contemporary epistemological discussion in a 1980 paper called "The Raft and the Pyramid".

Sosa argued that an appeal to intellectual virtue could resolve the conflict between foundationalists and coherentists over the structure of epistemic justification. Foundationalism holds that beliefs are founded or based on other beliefs in a hierarchy, similar to the bricks in the structure of a pyramid. Coherentism, on the other hand, uses the metaphor of a raft in which all beliefs are not tied down by foundations but instead are interconnected due to the logical relationships between each belief. Sosa found a flaw in each of these schools of epistemology, in both cases having to do with the relationship between belief and perception.

Coherentism only allows for justification based on logical relations between all the beliefs within a system of beliefs. However, because perceptual beliefs may not have many logical ties with other beliefs in the system, the coherentist account of knowledge cannot accommodate the importance normally attributed to perceptual information. On the other hand, foundationalism arguably encounters a problem when it attempts to describe how foundational beliefs relate to the sensory experiences that support them.

Coherentism and foundationalism developed as responses to the problems with the "traditional" account of knowledge (as justified true belief) developed by Edmund Gettier in 1963. As a result of Gettier's counterexamples, competing theories were developed, but the disputes between coherentists and foundationalists proved to be intractable. Sosa's paper suggested that virtue may resolve such disputes.

Theory
Virtue epistemology replaces formulaic expressions for apprehending knowledge, such as "S knows that p", by amending these formulas with virtue theory applied to intellect, where virtue then becomes potential candidates of "knowledge". This amendation raises problems of its own, however. Some virtue epistemologists use reliabilism as a basis for belief justification, stressing reliable functioning of the intellect.

Virtue epistemology is consistent with some of contextualism. Several areas of contextual epistemology attack the problem of knowledge from an objective standpoint. Virtue epistemology attempts to simplify the analysis of knowledge by replacing of the highest level of knowledge with. Specifically, it leaves room for cognitive relativism. is not constant; it can change depending on the context. Under this view, a well-functioning intellectual faculty is a necessary condition for the formation of knowledge. This differs from other areas of epistemology because it takes the state of an individual's intellect into account. As a result of this, social context also has the ability to alter knowledge. Social contexts change over time, making it necessary for beliefs and knowledge to change with it.

Virtue epistemology, similarly to virtue ethics, is based on the intellectual qualities of the individual as opposed to the quality of the belief; virtue epistemology is person-based, rather than belief-based. Consequently, virtue epistemology can stress "epistemic responsibility"—in which an individual is held responsible for the virtue of their knowledge-gathering faculties.

For example, Massimo Pigliucci applies virtue epistemology to critical thinking and suggests the virtuous individual will consider the following:

 * non-dismissive consideration of arguments
 * charitable interpretation of opposing arguments
 * awareness of one's own presuppositions and potential for being mistaken
 * consultation of expert knowledge
 * reliability of source material
 * knowledge of what one is talking about rather than merely repeating others' opinions.

Varieties
Virtue epistemologists differ in the role they believe virtue to play: eliminative virtue replaces epistemic concepts like knowledge and justification with intellectual virtue and intellectual vice, while non-eliminative virtue epistemology retains a role for such traditional concepts and uses virtue to provide substantive explanation of them.

Virtue epistemologists differ in what they believe epistemic virtues to be. Some accounts are Aristotelian, drawing a relationship between intellectual virtue and character in a similar way to the way moral virtue is related to character. "Weak" virtue epistemology, on the other hand, doesn't require any particular commitment or cultivation of intellectual virtue. Abrol Fairweather argues that "weak" virtue epistemologists "merely [use] virtue theory as a novel lexicon for expressing an independent epistemic theory".

Some virtue epistemologists favor the "virtue reliabilist" account of virtues as reliably functioning cognitive faculties, and others favor a "virtue responsibilist" account in which the responsible epistemic conduct of the agent plays a key role.

Virtue reliabilism
Virtue reliabilism emphasizes that the process whereby truth is garnered must be reliable. However, is not on. Instead, the extent of the person's reality-tracking ability determines how virtuous that person's intellect is, and therefore how good their knowledge is.

For Sosa, the more virtuous faculties are related to direct sensory perception and memory, and less virtuous capacities are ones related to beliefs derived from the primary memory or sense experience. Sosa has two criteria for a belief to be "fully apt": It must be "meta-justified"—the agent must have hit the truth as such—and it must be "apt"—the agent must have been displaying his virtuous capacities in claiming such a belief or hitting the truth as such. By analogy, a hunter must not only be able to hit the target with precision and accuracy, but the shot must be one that the hunter should have taken.

John Greco, another advocate of virtue reliabilism, believes that knowledge and justified belief "are grounded in stable and reliable cognitive character. Such character may include both a person's natural cognitive faculties as well as her acquired habits of thought.... So long as such habits are both stable and successful, they make up the kind of character that gives rise to knowledge." This characterization of virtue reliabilism is more inclusive than Sosa's, eschewing the focus on memorial or sensory experience and instead locating virtue in an agent's stable and reliable dispositions to generate successful cognition. Greco makes room for the inclusion of the intellectual virtues typically construed by the responsibilist camp of virtue epistemology, since many of these virtues can be thought of as stable, reliable dispositions of character.

Virtue responsibilism
In virtue responsibilism, the emphasis is not on faculties such as perception and memory. Instead, certain intellectual character traits are valued as more virtuous than others. These can be creativity, inquisitiveness, rational rigor, honesty, or a number of other possibilities. Generally, these theories are normative in nature. A few different approaches are taken.

Some, such as Lorraine Code, think that intellectual virtues involve having the correct cognitive character and epistemic relation to the world rooted in a social context. She sees the acquisition of correct knowledge about the world as the primary "good", and the end towards which our intellectual efforts should be oriented, with the desire for truth as the primary motivating factor for our epistemological virtues.

James Montmarquet's theory of intellectual virtue is similar to Code's, but specifically defines additional intellectual virtues in order to defuse the potential dogmatism or fanaticism that is compatible with Code's desire for truth. The primary virtue is conscientiousness, which focuses on the correct end of intellectual living. In order to obtain conscientiousness, it is important to maintain impartiality, sobriety, and courage.

Linda Trinkaus Zagzebski has proposed a neo-Aristotelian model of virtue epistemology, emphasizing the role of phronesis (practical wisdom) as an architectonic virtue unifying moral and intellectual virtues even more radically than Aristotle proposed. As delineated in her model, the virtues are "a deep and enduring acquired excellence of a person, involving a characteristic motivation to produce a certain desired end and reliable success in bringing about that end." As she sees it, the "characteristic motivation" of an intellectual virtue is the desire for truth, understanding, and other species of cognitive contact with reality. The notion of "reliable success" is invoked in order to avoid issues of well-intentioned but unsuccessful agents who desire truth but use poorly suited methods to pursue it.

Plantinga's theory of warrant
Alvin Plantinga offers another theory of knowledge closely related to virtue epistemology. According to him, knowledge is warranted if one's intellectual faculties are operating as they are designed to. That is, knowledge is valid if it is obtained through the correct operation of the faculties of the intellect which are designed to have an inherent ability, because they are designed that way, to capture and produce true beliefs.

Jonathan Kvanvig's understanding and assertion
In Jonathan Kvanvig's essay, Why Should Inquiring Minds Want to Know?: Meno Problems and Epistemological Axiology he asserts that epistemology has no place in philosophical study. The value of knowledge originates from the Socratic dialogue written by Plato called Meno. In Meno, Socrates' distinction between "true belief" and "knowledge" forms the basis of the philosophical definition of knowledge as "justified true belief". Socrates explains the similarities and differences between "true belief" and "knowledge", arguing that justified true belief fails to "stay in their place" and must be "tethered". According to Kvanvig, true belief is what is necessary to maximize truth and to avoid error, thus dropping justification from the equation of knowledge. He argues that once we recognize what the manipulated boundary notion of non-Gettierized account of knowledge is, then it becomes clear that there is nothing valuable about the anti-Gettier condition on knowledge. Kvanvig acknowledges that true belief falls short of knowledge, however to him, true belief is no less valuable than knowledge. Kvanvig believes that epistemology should be focused on understanding, an epistemic standing that Kvanvig maintains is of more value than knowledge and justified true belief.

Potential advantages
Some varieties of virtue epistemology that contain normative elements, such as virtue responsibilism, can provide a unified framework of normativity and value. Others, such as Sosa's account, can circumvent Cartesian skepticism with the necessity of externalism interacting with internalism. In this same vein, and because of the inherent flexibility and social nature of some of types of virtue epistemology, social conditioning and influence can be understood within an epistemological framework and explored. This flexibility and connection between internal and external makes virtue epistemology more accessible.

Prominent criticism
One criticism of virtue epistemology has focused upon its characterization of human cognition as grounded in stable character dispositions (e.g. the disposition to use reliable faculties, or one's excellent character traits construed as dispositions). As discussed by a parallel criticism leveled at virtue ethics, virtue theories, whether moral or epistemic, typically consider character traits as stable across time, and efficacious as explanatory reasons for persons behaving and thinking as they do. However, this supposition has been challenged by the "situationist critique" in psychology, which argues that human epistemic character changes depending on context, even when that change is epistemically irrelevant. Thus, irrelevant differences in a situation can prompt a drastic change in cognitive behavior.

Reliabilists might characterize this as effecting a drop in reliable functioning, whereas responsibilists would see these variations as negating one's excellent cognitive character. It is therefore argued that virtue theorists should either amend their conception of human psychology to accommodate this or explain how the results of situationist psychological research do not contradict their theory.

The result of the debate was - kept

Karafuto Prefecture
Patent nonsense. There is no Karafuto Prefecture in Japan. I wasn't sure if this was speedy material. If I was completely sure, I'd do it. Mike H 03:00, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)

Anyway, passing it off as a real prefecture is hardly helpful. Mike H 03:04, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Gundam . Karafuto is the Japanese name for Sakhalin, and this is part of a fictitious history. Dangerously misleading as is, but would be a useful redirect IMO. Andrewa 06:50, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * comment: until 1945 the southern half of Sakhalin was Japanese territory, and although now Russian and not actively claimed by Japan (unlike the Kurile Islands), Japan has IIRC also never said it has rescinded all claims. On some maps (even recent ones) one can still see markings which imply an unclear status. This looks like someone with revisionist (?) tendencies posting their desired situation as fact; note that this article is also linked from the list of provinces in Japan. There's a possible article waiting to be written on Karafuto (along the lines of "History of ..." though - I'd love to write it but won't have time during the 5 VfD days. Probably the best bet would be to redirect to Sakhalin .Do not redirect to Gundam, this is real-world stuff for a change ;-).--Ianb 07:51, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep (change of vote). I wasn't aware that there was something in real history that could go by this name too. Agree that the redirect I proposed is inappropriate. Now a reasonable article and steadily improving. Andrewa 12:58, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. Current article looks good.   — Gwalla | Talk 19:33, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Now encyclopaedic, clearly enough stating the issues surrounding the area in question. Fire Star 20:27, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * If this is kept, as it appears it is, some content should be integrated into the Sakhalin Oblast article. 132.205.15.42 23:59, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree. Mike H 00:01, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Looks just fine; keep. DS 21:08, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I withdraw my objections, now that the article is much better written (i.e. presented in a factual light). Mike H 01:04, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

 * Merge with Sakhalin - the article is about the area rather than administration of the locality. Reading Talk:Karafuto Prefecture, I had thought this should be moved to Karafuto but looking at where that redirects changed my opinion.  Earlier use of present tense in the article, repeated at list of cities in Karafuto suggests this article and title may have been designed not to be NPOV.  --Henrygb 00:57, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Archived WP:CFD discussion
Mostly or entirely redundant with Category:Bacteria. Also, Category:Deinococcus-Thermus, since there are only two listed species so it is not really necessary at the moment. Josh 20:08, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep both. As Deinococcus-Thermus shows, there are four more species that need articles and so Category:Deinococcus-Thermus will expand.  According to prokaryote, most prokaryotes are bacteria, but not all, so Category:Prokaryotes would seem to be a logical parent to Category:Bacteria.  Postdlf 22:05, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. Prokaryotes in any case - arguments as by Postdlf. /Tuomas 11:57, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

According to prokaryotes most are bacteria, and the terms are often treated as synonyms. Otherwise the prokaryotes are divided only into the Bacteria and Archaea, and these are usually treated as top-level groups. So prokaryotes aren't a logical parent since they aren't a separate layer in most classifications, and will only include two to five articles - I think the category is essentially full now, plus Spirulina really belongs lower down. I won't revert, but I strongly suggest you reconsider. Josh

Zelph

Zelph is a figure of interest in Mormon studies. In May and June 1834 Joseph Smith led an expedition known as Zion's Camp (a paramilitary Latter Day Saint group) on a march from Kirtland, Ohio to Jackson County, Missouri. On June 3, while passing through west-central Illinois near Griggsville, some bones were unearthed from a mound. These bones were identified by Smith as belonging to a Lamanite chieftain-warrior named Zelph. The mound in question is now known as Naples-Russell Mound 8, and is recognized as carrying artifacts from the Havana Hopewell culture (ca. 200 BCE to 400 CE).

Background
In 1834, Joseph Smith said he received a revelation from God, calling for a militia to be raised in Kirtland which would then march to Missouri and "redeem Zion." About 200 men and a number of women and children volunteered to join this militia, which became known as "Zion's Camp." On June 3, 1834, in Pike County, Illinois, some of the men of Zion's Camp located some bones and an arrowhead about a foot below the ground. Smith himself wrote nothing about the event; however, seven of the members of Zion's Camp who were with him either recorded or orally related their accounts of what was said. These accounts declared that the bones were from Zelph, a "white Lamanite" general who was a righteous man.

A reference to this event is made in E.D. Howe's 1834 book Mormonism Unvailed, which states:

"A large mound was one day discovered, upon which Gen. Smith ordered an excavation to be made into it; and about one foot from the top of the ground, the bones of a human skeleton were found, which were carefully laid out upon a board, when Smith made a speech, prophesying or declaring that they were the remains of a celebrated General among the Nephites, mentioning his name and the battle in which he was slain, some 1500 years ago."

Contrary to Howe's statement that the group found the remains of a "General among the Nephites," all of the recorded accounts agree that Zelph was identified as a Lamanite.

Accounts
John Taylor publisher of the Times and Seasons had been writing History of Joseph Smith and included in the January 1, 1846 issue, the following account

Heber C. Kimball wrote in 1841 that several of the group, along with Joseph Smith, walked to the top of a mound that they had located on the bank of the Illinois river. Kimball states, "On the top of this mound there was the appearance of three altars, which had been built of stone, one above another, according to the ancient order; and the ground was strewn over with human bones." That prompted Kimball and the others to dig into the mound after sending for a shovel and a hoe:

"At about one foot deep we discovered the skeleton of a man, almost entire; and between two of his ribs we found an Indian arrow, which had evidently been the cause of his death. We took the leg and thigh bones and carried them along with us to Clay county. All four appeared sound."

After continuing on their journey, Kimball reports that it "was made known to Joseph that he had been an officer who fell in battle, in the last destruction among the Lamanites, and his name was Zelph. This caused us to rejoice much, to think that God was so mindful of us as to show these things to his servant. Brother Joseph had enquired of the Lord and it was made known in a vision."

Reuben McBride's journal account states, "His name was Zelph a war[r]ior under the Prophet Onandagus Zelph a white Laman[i]te." McBride also wrote that "an arrow was found in his Ribs ... which he said he sup[p]osed oc[c]aisoned his death." McBride wrote that Zelph "was known from the atlantic to the Rocky Mountains." Moses Martin stated, "Soon afterward, Joseph had a vision and the Lord shewed him that this man was once a mighty Prophet and many other things concerning his death in which he had fal[l]en no doubt in some great bat[t]le." Martin also described the skeleton "to be eight or nine feet tall because of the size of the thigh bone." Levi Hancock's journal also refers to "Onendagus," stating that "Zelf he was a white Lamanite who fought with the people of Onendagus for freedom." Onondaga is the name of a county in New York state as well as the name of the Onondaga people, a tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy that once occupied the area. Wilford Woodruff's journal mentions that the bones were "probably" from the Lamanites and Nephites, even though the printed vision omitted the "probably."

Zelph and the question of Book of Mormon geography
The accounts related to Zelph are used as evidence by some Book of Mormon scholars to suggest that the Lehites inhabited the entire North American continent as proposed by the Hemispheric Geographical Model, rather than merely portions of Central America as suggested by the Limited Geography Model. (See also Archaeology and the Book of Mormon)

Although Smith did not mention the Zelph event specifically in his journal, it is clear that during this period he considered the area in which the group was traveling to have been part of the land described in the Book of Mormon. In a letter that Smith wrote to his wife Emma the following day (June 4, 1834), he stated:

The whole of our journey, in the midst of so large a company of social honest and sincere men, wandering over the plains of the Nephites, recounting occasionally the history of the Book of Mormon, roving over the mounds of that once beloved people of the Lord, picking up their skulls & their bones, as a proof of its divine authenticity, and gazing upon a country the fertility, the splendour and the goodness so indescribable, all serves to pass away time unnoticed.

Smith's thinking regarding the location of Book of Mormon events may have evolved over time. In the 1842 periodical Times and Seasons, which names Joseph Smith as publisher, stories about the discovery of ancient Maya ruins on the Yucatán Peninsula offered evidence to the Book of Mormon's authenticity. Zelph is not an individual mentioned in the Book of Mormon narrative and would therefore not necessarily be associated with any of the events presumed by some people, including many apologists associated with the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS), to have occurred in Mesoamerica.

The implication of belief in a hemispheric Book of Mormon geography by these men is supported by several references made by Wilford Woodruff. Woodruff writes that he "visited many of the mounds which were flung up by the ancient inhabitants of this continent probably by the Nephites & Lamanites." Woodruff also states that Zelph "that was known from the hill Cumorah or East sea to the Rocky mountains," thus implying that the hill Cumorah in New York is the same hill Cumorah referred to in the Book of Mormon. Some LDS scholars believe that "hill Cumorah" was Woodruff's term rather than Joseph Smith's, since other accounts refer only to the sea and fail to mention either Nephites or the hill Cumorah.

In 1842 Willard Richards compiled a number of records in order to produce a history of the church. Among the records examined were the various accounts related to Zelph. In the process of combining the accounts, Richards crossed out Woodruff's references to "hill Cumorah," and Heber C. Kimball's reference to the "last" great struggle with the Lamanites."

David Jonathan, You repeatedly ignored the requests to use only copyright-free images. (as seen in the history of this page) Unless you cease doing this, you will be banned from editing in wikipedia. Mikkalai 03:18, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I appologise. the rules concerning what is copyrighted and how to cite things are complicated. I appologise.

 * Please understand that there is BIG money in the pics of these lovely boobs. You live in the USA, aren't you? Lawyers can sue your sorry ass off you (or, what is much more probable, off wikipedia) once they get tipped. And the copyright rule to follow is very simple: if you don't know, then it is copyrighted. To be a bit more specific, all non-governmental is copyrighted unless explicitely stated. So, if you find a photo of a pretty hooker in FBI archives, bring it here :-) Mikkalai 06:36, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

those rules are simple, I should be able to understand those MaximusNukeage 04:39, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * By the way, a good source of 100% non-copyrighted images is Library of Congress (*The Library of Congress website). Each image there is supplied with its copyright status, description and reference number that may be placed into the wikipedia image page. I fetched quite few pics from there myself. Mikkalai 04:52, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

If someone sends an email to the copyright holder and they grant permission, then you can use it?
 * Best of all, if they grant permission to use under GFDL license or for free use. Please read Image use policy for more details. Mikkalai 15:59, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kai(lexx).jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kai(lexx).jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Proposed deletion of Francine Dee
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Francine Dee, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * no genuine claim of notability (movie roles are minor generic characters) no reliable sources

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Talk:Snuffy Smith

Tater
Who was Tater? Was that his child? Or his grandchild? Snuffy looked so old. Mike H 03:07, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)

 * Tater, as I recall, was Snuffy's son, even though Snuffy and Weezy had seemingly been in their 50's (at least) as far back as I could remember and apparently even before that. Tater was born in the late 1960s, I think.  Many of the papers carrying the strip made his birth into a big event.

Is the Tyson foods thing accurate? Sources?

Explaination of rollback
I rolled back the edits of User:98.223.191.122. The combination of dubious edits, the lack of citations, and other vandalism on the same day leads me to think the entirety of the edit is vandalism. If anyone reposts it, please add a citation. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate Article?
It's not exactly a duplicate, but there is an article Barney Google and Snuffy Smith which is the full name for the Snuffy Smith strip (still is, I think - at least from what I see at the King Features website).

Talk:The Pembroke Hill School

Untitled
This article was listed on Votes for deletion, and the consensus was keep: see Votes for deletion/The Pembroke Hill School

Acceptance Rate?
The article includes the statement that "The school boasts an acceptance rate of approximately 66 percent."[1] Could someone clarify? Does this mean the school accepts 66% of applicants, or that 66% of its students are accepted to college, etc (probably not the latter due to "usually matriculates..." in the next paragraph.) Why is this a "boast"? The citation is to Peterson's Guide to Private Secondary Schools..but I don't have access to that publication. Thanks! --Josh Powell (talk) 23:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This has been fixed. The school accepts 66% of applicants. Its college acceptance rate has been 100% for years. The word "boast" has been changed, per WP:ADVERT. 65.28.9.8 (talk) 13:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

SAT scores
I question the neutrality of the statement "unreported in order to preserve academic image" with regard to the average SAT score (on the side bar). I don't doubt that there may truth to it, but I do doubt that that is the school's official response.

I agree. The person who had written that seems to be a current student at PHS, and put false information in the "notable alumni" portion (Homayon Ghassemi, according to a Google search, was a stduent at PHS last year, and is not a "Renowned Classical Scholar"). I have reverted the information and removed the NPOV notice. 134.193.105.140 15:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Good eye- I didn't even notice the "Homayon Ghassemi" part Feline Nursery 15:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Introductory descriptor
65.28.31.189 seems to have a problem with any mention of the Ivy League in the introduction to the article; he also deleted the replacement descriptor denoting "prestigious" colleges, which was lifted directly from the MICDS article. Interestingly, the descriptor that PHS sends many of its graduates to Ivy League colleges has been a part of the article nearly since its inception several years, and to date none of the many contributors have had a problem with it - presumably because to most Kansas Citians this simply seems obvious. Instead, however, to placate 65.28.31.189, "statistical proof" seems necessary. On average, PHS sends approximately 10% of its graduates to Ivy League colleges, some years more (some years FAR more) and some years less. Without question, this rate is far higher than any other secondary school in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Accordingly, I have replaced the descriptor. Let it be. This new Wikipedian is its sole protester, and the protest is unwarranted. Could there be an agenda behind the protest? 65.28.2.218 12:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * WOAH, 65.26.95.117 deleted the above entry. That is a BIG Wikipedia no-no.  Please don't do it again or you will have to be reported.  Thank you. 65.28.2.218 11:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

And the quarrel continues

It appears as if 65.28.2.218 is affiliated with Pembroke Hill. It appears as if the information obtained was obtained by some sort of an employee or alumnus/ae. The Ivy League clause seems to be a point of vehement contention? I find myself asking why? Unless the aforementioned wikipedian was somehow deeply affiliated with Pembroke Hill, then why the dispute? (As a Kansas Citian I can attest, Pembroke Hill's Ivy League placement is not outstanding, in fact other schools in the area such as Rockhurst and Shawnee Mission East also have numerous graduates attend Ivy League schools.  So I must, in this instance, beseech 65.28.2.218 to reveal his or her affiliation with the school. If there is none, then why such a conflict? Could there be an agenda behind the protest?
 * All I ever suggested was that you see the discussion page and respond accordingly. It took you two months to do so; there was no "quarrel" until then, just you violating Wikipedia rules. Now this can be properly discussed. No other school in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, be it Rockhurst High School or any school in the Shawnee Mission School District, regularly sends 10% or more (some years FAR more) of its graduates to colleges in the Ivy League. There is no agenda here, only the pursuit of accurate representation (and as far as "agendas" go, I find it interesting that this seems to be the only Wikipedia page you have ever edited). The sentence was lifted directly from the MICDS article (MICDS, John Burroughs School, and Pembroke Hill being the only schools of their sort in Missouri). Interestingly, the MICDS article (after a similar debate) now says "prestigious" four-year schools. Would you prefer that this article's phraseology be changed to that? 65.28.2.218 05:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

That wasn't my question....

Funny, you never answered my question? Are you affiliated with the school?
 * 65.26.95.117, you ought to type "65.28.2.218 01:16, 31 August 2006 (UTC)" at the end of your posts in order to sign and date them. That's Wikipedia protocol, too. Obviously you have very little experience with Wikipedia. By using an anonymous IP address, I am ensuring that I don't have to reveal anything at all about myself. Therefore, I choose not to. This is also per Wikipedia policy. You did not respond to my contentions above. You are not discussing this matter in an manner consistent with Wikipedia policy. If this continues I will have to refer the matter to an administrator. You refuse to enter into a proper discussion with me on this. You instead insist on having a discussion about "me," which I refuse to do, as is my right. Therefore, under Wikipedia guidelines, your edits constitute vandalism. Either enter into a proper discussion and respond to my response to you (and sign it, too), or I will refer this matter to a Wikipedia administrator. Until then, I have reverted your vandalism of this article. 65.28.2.218 01:16, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Laughable

Really don't want to answer that question do you? I guess that seems only logical in your case, for if you chose to your loudly proclaimed credibility would be somewhat diminished now wouldn't it? In tripping all over yourself to immediately issue a virtual "no commment" (With more than enough circumlocution) you have only helped to illustrate my point.
 * I am allowed not to reveal personal information. You seem to misunderstand what Wikipedia discussion pages are all about. They are not for discussing the authors, but rather the edits (and prospective edits) to the articles. If you wish to continue to edit this article, please respond to my good faith response to you above. Because you refuse to discuss the accuracy or need for your edits, and refuse to answer my point, instead insisting on discussing "me," your edits are vandalism. Also, PLEASE SIGN YOUR POSTS! To do so, put four "tildas" (i.e. four of these things --> ~) at the end of each post. Thanks. 65.28.2.218 05:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

It's true that a large proportion of Pembroke Hill students go off to Ivy League colleges... This year it's at least five percent, a much larger number than the percent of total next-year college students going to Ivy League colleges...

User 64.218.107.110 has been blanking the information about the 1997, 1998, and 1999 state basketball championships (and the resulting nationally-publicized scandal), as well as the information about the infamous 1988 "High School on Easy Street" article. All of that information is relevant to the subject of the Pembroke Hill School, comes from reliable sources which are accurately cited, and is not original research. Blanking that information simply because it is not flattering to the Pembroke Hill School violates Neutral point of view. 64.218.107.110 (talk) 17:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Noah Baumbach

Noah Baumbach (born September 3, 1969) is an American filmmaker. He is known for making comedies set in New York City and his works are inspired by filmmakers such as Woody Allen and Whit Stillman. His frequent collaborators include Wes Anderson, Adam Driver, and his wife, Greta Gerwig.

Baumbach first gained attention for his early films Kicking and Screaming (1995), and Mr. Jealousy (1997). His breakthrough film The Squid and the Whale (2005) earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. He began his long time collaboration with Gerwig with Greenberg (2010), and continued with Frances Ha (2013), Mistress America (2015), White Noise (2022) and Barbie (2023).

His other films include Margot at the Wedding (2007), While We're Young (2014), and The Meyerowitz Stories (2017). His film Marriage Story (2019) earned an Academy Award for Best Picture nomination and Baumbach's second Best Original Screenplay nomination. For the film Barbie (2023), which he co-wrote with his wife Greta Gerwig, he received his third screenplay nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 96th Academy Awards. He is also known for co-writing with Wes Anderson on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) and Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009).

Early life and education
Baumbach was born on September 3, 1969, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. His father, Jonathan Baumbach, was an author of experimental fiction and the co-founder of the publishing house Fiction Collective, taught at Stanford University and Brooklyn College, and was a film critic for Partisan Review. His mother, Georgia Brown, was a film critic for The Village Voice who also wrote fiction. His father was Jewish; his mother is Protestant. His parents divorced during his adolescence, which served as inspiration for his 2005 film The Squid and the Whale. Baumbach has three siblings, two of whom are from a previous marriage of his father's.

Baumbach grew up in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and from a young age he was determined to become a professional filmmaker. Films that influenced Baumbach include The Jerk, Animal House, Heaven Can Wait, The World According To Garp, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.

He graduated from Brooklyn's Midwood High School in 1987 and received his BA in English from Vassar College in 1991. While at Vassar, he and fellow future filmmaker, Jason Blum, were roommates (Blum later produced Baumbach's first film, Kicking and Screaming in 1995). Soon after, he briefly worked as a messenger at The New Yorker.

1990s
Baumbach made his writing and directing debut in 1995 with Kicking and Screaming, a comedy about four young men who graduate from college and refuse to move on with their lives. The film starred Josh Hamilton, Chris Eigeman, and Carlos Jacott and premiered in 1995 at the New York Film Festival. In an interview with The A.V. Club, Baumbach said of his influences on the film, "I really responded to the kind of ensemble feeling of Metropolitan, I was also thinking a lot about Diner, which was another great ensemble "friends" comedy." Baumbach was chosen as one of Newsweek's "Ten New Faces of 1996". Roger Ebert praised the film's "good eye and a terrific ear; the dialogue by writer-director Noah Baumbach is not simply accurate... but a distillation of reality – elevating aimless brainy small-talk into a statement." Reviews often mentioned the thin and meandering plot, but most noted this as a facet of the characters' life stage. Janet Maslin of The New York Times stated, "Kicking and Screaming occupies its postage-stamp size terrain with confident comic style."

In 1997, he wrote and directed Mr. Jealousy, a film about a young writer so jealous about his girlfriend that he sneaks into the group therapy sessions of her ex-boyfriend to discover what kind of relationship they had. He then co-wrote (under the name Jesse Carter) and directed (under the name Ernie Fusco) the New York-set comedy of manners Highball. Baumbach disowned the film according to a 2005 interview in The A.V. Club, the director stated,

"'The truth is, I never 'owned' Highball. It really was an experiment, and kind of a foolish experiment, because I didn't think about what the ramifications would be if it didn't work. But it was made with all the best intentions, which was to try and make a movie in six days, and use all the same people from Mr. Jealousy, with all their goodwill, and bring in some more people. And it was a funny script. But it was just too ambitious. We didn't have enough time, we didn't finish it, it didn't look good, it was just a whole… mess. [Laughs.] We couldn't get it done, and I had a falling out with the producer. He abandoned it, and I had no money to finish it, to go back and maybe get two more days or something. Then later, it was put out on DVD without my approval."

2000s
In 2004, Baumbach ventured his film collaboration with writer and director Wes Anderson by co-writing The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) alongside Anderson. The following year, he released his fourth feature film, The Squid and the Whale (2005) which was a semi-autobiographical comedy-drama about his childhood in Brooklyn and the effect of his parents' divorce on the family in the mid-1980s. The film stars Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney in the parent roles. In an interview with author Jonathan Lethem in BOMB Magazine, Baumbach said of the film, "Sometimes when I think about the whole experience of this, it starts to become a joke within a joke within a joke. The film is not only inspired by my childhood and my parents’ divorce, but it was also the first script I didn't show to my parents while I was working on it. It's not that I wanted to protect them from anything. I just wanted to keep it my own experience." The Squid and the Whale was a sleeper hit and a critical success, earning Baumbach two awards at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. It also received six Independent Spirit Award nominations, three Golden Globe nominations and the New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Board of Review all voted it the year's best screenplay.

Baumbach wrote and directed the 2007 dramedy Margot at the Wedding, starring his then wife, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nicole Kidman, Jack Black, and John Turturro. In the film, Kidman plays a woman named Margot who spends several days visiting her sister Pauline (Leigh) on the eve of Pauline's wedding to Black's character. It was shot in April and May 2006 in Hampton Bays and City Island, Bronx. The film was released in the United States by Paramount Vantage on November 16, 2007. Baumbach helped to write and direct the short films Clearing the Air and New York Underground which aired on Saturday Night Live. The films were co-written and co-produced by cast-members Fred Armisen and Bill Hader. New York Underground featured Hader as a British rock journalist doing a piece on quirky underground musician Joshua Rainhorne (Armisen has performed as Joshua at numerous live events). Clearing the Air featured Hader, Armisen, and Paul Rudd (who was the guest host for that week) trying to clear the air over a girl they all slept with. Both pieces aired on SNL in the fall of 2008.

Baumbach co-wrote the screenplay for the 2009 film version of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox with Wes Anderson, who directed it using stop-motion technology. The film was a critical success appearing on many critics top 10 lists of the year. The film also received the Academy Award, British Academy Film Award, and Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Animated Film, losing to Pixar's Up. Despite the critical praise the film was not a financial success.

2010s
His film Greenberg was released March 2010. It starred Ben Stiller, Greta Gerwig and Rhys Ifans. The story was concepted by Baumbach and Jennifer Jason Leigh. The film nominated for the Golden Bear at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival. In 2012, Baumbach directed the comedic drama Frances Ha, which he cowrote with Greta Gerwig, who also starred. The film played at the Toronto International Film Festival. Baumbach filmed Frances Ha with his cinematographer Sam Levy digitally and in black-and-white, the latter to emulate in part collaborations by Woody Allen and his cinematographer Gordon Willis, in films like Manhattan (1979). CBS News compared Frances Ha's style to the works of Woody Allen, Jim Jarmusch and François Truffaut. Gerwig received a Golden Globe Award nomination for her performance.

Baumbach has "shown an affinity for writing about the East Coast elite." Baumbach has written an adaptation of Curtis Sittenfeld's novel Prep. He also co-wrote a screenplay for the animated film Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. He worked on HBO's adaptation of the Jonathan Franzen novel The Corrections,  but the pilot was never completed and HBO passed on the project. Baumbach wrote and directed the 2014 comedy-drama While We're Young, starring Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts, Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried. A24 Films released the film on March 27, 2015, and the film went on to gross more than all of Baumbach's previous films in the United States box office. He also directed and cowrote the 2015 comedy Mistress America, starring Greta Gerwig and Lola Kirke. The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, was released to general audiences on August 14. That same year he presented De Palma, a documentary about filmmaker Brian De Palma that he co-directed with Jake Paltrow. It premiered at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.

In 2017, The Meyerowitz Stories was released on October 13 on Netflix. Before its streaming debut, the film was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. The film focuses on a fractured and dysfunctional family, and starred Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler and Emma Thompson. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 92% based on 181 reviews, and an average rating of 7.66/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) observes the family dynamic through writer-director Noah Baumbach's bittersweet lens and the impressive efforts of a remarkable cast." On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a weighted average score of 79 out of 100, based on 40 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

In 2019, Baumbach wrote, produced and directed Marriage Story. The film follows a showbusiness couple and their marriage breaking up followed by an emotional divorce preceding. The film starred Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson as the family couple. Alan Alda, Ray Liotta and Laura Dern also portray the lawyers involved about the divorce. The film also featured performances by Merritt Wever, Julie Hagerty and Wallace Shawn. It premiered to great acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, before it was released on Netflix on November 6, 2019, with many ranking it among Baumbach's best work. Mark Kermode, film critic at The Guardian, wrote, "this often hilarious heartbreaker is simply Baumbach’s best film to date – insightful, sympathetic and rather beautifully bewildered." Kermode also compared the film to Annie Hall (1977), Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and La Grande Illusion (1937). The film went on to receive six Academy Award nominations, including for Best Picture, and Best Original Screenplay. Driver and Johansson also received nominations in leading roles. Laura Dern won the Oscar for a supporting role. With the release of Marriage Story, it also made Baumbach one of the few screenwriters to ever sweep "The Big Four" critics awards: Los Angeles Film Critics Association, National Board of Review, New York Film Critics Circle, and National Society of Film Critics.

2020s
Baumbach's feature film White Noise was adapted from the 1985 novel of the same name by Don DeLillo. The film reunited him with Greta Gerwig and Adam Driver, and was released by Netflix on December 30, 2022. The film premiered at the 79th Venice International Film Festival where it competed for the Golden Lion. The film received mixed reviews. In 2023, Baumbach again collaborated with Gerwig, co-writing the screenplay for her film Barbie starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrera. The film released on July 21, 2023 to critical acclaim and grossed $1.4 billion worldwide. Baumbach and Gerwig received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay, and Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay. Baumbach's unpublished memoir was acquired by Knopf in 2023.

His upcoming untitled 2024 film, which is his fourth from Netflix, is described as a "coming-of-age story about adults". Baumbach cast George Clooney and Adam Sandler. He co-wrote the film with actress Emily Mortimer and the film will be produced by David Heyman and Amy Pascal. Netflix boss Scott Stuber said: "Noah Baumbach's got an excellent kind of Jerry Maguire-esque, for lack of a better analogy, but a really great life-affirming movie with two big movie stars that's starting to come together, so that'll be exciting."

Influences
Baumbach noted that comedian and filmmaker Woody Allen was "an obvious influence", stating, "He was the single biggest pop culture influence on me". He has cited the films Manhattan, Zelig, and Broadway Danny Rose as influences on his work.

He has also cited Ernst Lubitsch, Max Ophüls, Jean Renoir, Robert Altman, Peter Bogdanovich, Spike Lee, Whit Stillman, Steven Spielberg, as well as the screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s, and the films of the French New Wave as influences. His favorite film of all time is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Baumbach is a fan of the "beautiful" music of electronic acts New Order and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), and sought to "do something that evoked" those bands on the soundtrack of Mistress America (2015). He has also cited David Bowie and Paul McCartney, and the film scores of Tangerine Dream and Georges Delerue, as important to him.

Personal life
Baumbach met actress Jennifer Jason Leigh in 2001, while she was starring on Broadway in Proof. The couple married on September 2, 2005. They have a son, Rohmer, who was named after French director Éric Rohmer. Leigh filed for divorce from Baumbach on November 15, 2010, in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in September 2013.

Baumbach's romantic and creative collaboration with actress, writer, and director Greta Gerwig began in late 2011, after they met during the production of Greenberg. They have two sons, born March 2019 and February 2023. Twelve years into their relationship, Baumbach and Gerwig got married at New York City Hall in December 2023.

Baumbach's brother Nico is a film theorist and associate professor at Columbia University's Center for Comparative Media.

This article says "despite their name, they are not true foxes but are a unique canid genus more closely related to the wolves, dogs, jackals and coyotes" whereas the phylogenetic tree in the Canidae article shows these species as closer relatives of the true foxes than of wolves, dogs, jackals or coyotes.

Vida Guerra

Vida Guerra (born March 19, 1974 ) is a Cuban-born American glamour model and actress. Her first notable appearance was in the U.S. edition of FHM magazine in December 2002; since then, she has modeled for many other men's magazines.

Early life
Born in Havana, Cuba, Guerra, still a child, migrated with her family to the United States, moving to Perth Amboy, New Jersey. While growing up, she entered several fashion shows modeling swim wear, and has appeared in music videos.

Career
Guerra's first national exposure came when she appeared in a lingerie spread for FHM in December 2002. The magazine later reported that following its publication, almost one third of received mail was from readers demanding more photos of her. She was called back for more photo shoots and became "FHM's Model of the Year" in 2004. Since then, she has been featured in many magazines, including DUB, Smooth, Escape, and Open Your Eyes, often as the cover girl.

Guerra has made multiple appearances on several Spanish language television programs such as entertainment gossip show El Gordo y la Flaca (The Fat guy and The Skinny girl). She has also become a staple in music videos, appearing in "Shake Ya Tailfeather" (Nelly, P. Diddy and Murphy Lee, from the Bad Boys II soundtrack, 2003) and "The New Workout Plan" (Kanye West, 2004), in "Obsession (No Es Amor)" (Frankie J featuring Baby Bash, 2005) among others. In addition, Guerra has appeared in a commercial for Burger King's TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch, a couple of sketches on Chappelle's Show (including "R. Kelly's '(I Wanna) Piss on You' Music Video", which spoofed the R. Kelly sex tape), and the film National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2.

In April 2005, Guerra's camera phone was allegedly hacked. Dozens of photos, including nude pictures, were widely disseminated on the Internet. Guerra said the nude images were of another woman, and that they had been mixed with genuine, non-nude camera-phone images of her to create the false appearance that she was the naked woman pictured.

Guerra was voted Number 26 in "FHM's Top 100 Sexiest Females" of 2005 and has twice been named the winner of the magazine's "Best Butt Award". She has produced her own swimsuit calendars (and accompanying "behind the scenes" DVDs) and a 2006 DVD titled Vida Guerra: Exposed.

The July 2006 issue of Playboy featured the first formal nude photos of Guerra. Part of her motivation for posing for the magazine, she said, was the camera phone incident; she wanted people to see what she really looked like naked.

The first song from Guerra's debut album, "You Got Me", was leaked to the Internet on November 2, 2006.

In a July 2008 interview on The Jace Hall Show, she spoke about her show Livin' the Low Life, stating that "I didn't like it [ lowrider cars] at first, I mean, they were cool, but now that I did the first season I'm actually gonna get one."

She also appeared in the "FHM sexiest woman of the year 2017", ranked at 89th position.

Personal life
Guerra is a vegetarian. Regarding vegetarianism, she has stated "I feel really healthy, and it works on so many different levels, including the condition of my skin". In 2011, she appeared nude in a campaign for PETA, in support of vegetarianism.

Ken Coleman

Kenneth Robert Coleman (April 22, 1925 – August 21, 2003) was an American radio and television sportscaster for more than four decades (1947 –1989).

Early life
Coleman was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1925, the son of William (a salesman) and his wife Frances. The family subsequently moved to Dorchester, Massachusetts, and then to nearby Quincy, where he was raised. Coleman graduated from North Quincy High School in 1943. He was a pitcher on the North Quincy High School baseball team, and subsequently played in the semi-pro Park League. But Coleman had dreams of being a sports broadcaster from the time he was a boy, when he enjoyed listening to the games on radio.

After serving in the U.S. Army, where he was a sergeant during World War II, Coleman took oratory courses for one year at Curry College, and then broke into broadcasting in Rutland, Vermont, in 1947, working for station WSYB. He called the play-by-play of the Rutland Royals of the Vermont Northern League, a summer collegiate baseball circuit akin to the Cape Cod League. Coleman also was a newscaster and a deejay on the station. He was hired by station WJDA in Quincy, where he worked as a sports reporter until 1951; he then worked for a year at WNEB in Worcester. During this time, Coleman was broadcasting Boston University football during the Harry Agganis era.

Cleveland Indians and Browns
Coleman received critical praise for his college football play-by-play, which led to his big break: in 1952, he got the opportunity to broadcast for the NFL Cleveland Browns (1952–1965), calling play-by-play of every touchdown that Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown ever scored. He also began his MLB broadcasting career, calling Cleveland Indians games on television for ten seasons (1954–1963). In his first year with the Indians, Coleman called their record-setting 111-win season and their World Series loss to the New York Giants.

Coleman broadcast college football for various teams, including Ohio State and Harvard, as well as BU. He was the play-by-play announcer for the 1968 Harvard-Yale football game, a game forever remembered for the incredible Harvard comeback from a 16-point deficit to tie Yale at 29–29 in the game's last 42 seconds. Coleman also called NFL games for NBC in the early 1970s, and later in his career called Connecticut and Fairfield basketball games for Connecticut Public Television.

Boston Red Sox
In 1966, Coleman was named the lead play-by-play announcer for the Boston Red Sox on both radio and television, succeeding Curt Gowdy, who resigned after 15 years of calling Red Sox games to become the top play-by-play voice for NBC's Major League Baseball Game of the Week. Coleman joined a broadcast team that also included Ned Martin and color man Mel Parnell, and signed a three-year contract that paid him $40,000 per year. Coleman broadcast the 1967 World Series (which the Red Sox lost to the St. Louis Cardinals) for NBC television, working alongside Gowdy, and radio.

Coleman was the "Voice of the Red Sox" on both WHDH-AM 850 and the original WHDH-TV for six seasons, through 1971. When the FCC revoked WHDH's television license during the winter of 1971–1972, the Red Sox split their radio and TV announcing crews and signed a three-year contract with WBZ-TV. Coleman and color man Johnny Pesky worked exclusively on television through the 1974 season. In 1975, the Red Sox awarded their television rights to WSBK-TV and increased their telecast schedule from 65 to over 100 games, and the new flagship station opted for a new broadcasting team, Dick Stockton and Ken Harrelson. Coleman then returned to Ohio. From 1975 to 1978, he was the play-by-play man for WLWT and the Cincinnati Reds' television network, calling regular-season games for the Big Red Machine's back-to-back 1975–1976 World Series champions.

After the Red Sox' legendary radio combination of Ned Martin and Jim Woods were fired for failing to follow the dictates of sponsors following the 1978 season, Coleman went back to Boston in 1979 and spent 11 years as the Red Sox' top radio voice. He broadcast the Red Sox' 1986 World Series loss to the New York Mets and two Red Sox ALCS (1986 and 1988). Coleman remained in the Red Sox booth until his retirement in 1989. He worked with #2 announcers Rico Petrocelli, Jon Miller and Joe Castiglione during this "second term" with the Red Sox.

In 1972, Coleman returned briefly to the NFL, rotating play-by-play duties with Stockton for New England Patriots' preseason games on WBZ-TV with no color commentators.

Additionally, he wrote books on sportscasting, was one of the founding fathers of the Red Sox Booster Club and the BoSox Club, and was intimately involved with the Jimmy Fund, which raises money for cancer research.

Personal life and death
Coleman followed the routine of taking a swim in the Atlantic Ocean as often as he could through the late fall and into the earliest days of spring, until his death.

He was the father of the late Cleveland sports and newscaster Casey Coleman, who died in 2006 from pancreatic cancer.

Coleman was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame on May 18, 2000 at the age of 75. He died three years later, aged 78, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, from complications of bacterial meningitis.
