Talk:Ricky Ray Rector

Untitled
Things that I'd like added-
 * A 2nd source confirmation of the Police officer/Doorman killed and/or their names
 * A 2nd source confirmation that he turned the gun on himself soon after their deaths
 * A good picture of Rector

Any other suggestions? Zenosparadox 03:49, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

More background details
My mother was married to Rector during this time and had children by him. Until this day, many of our family's questions about the attempted arrest and execution are still un-answered.

-Step-Son

Incorrect name?
I have seen this name published as RickEy Ray Rector (see, for example, Kozinski, Alex. “Tinkering with Death.”  In Debating the Death Penalty: Should America Have Capital Punishment?  The Experts on Both Sides Make Their Best Case, edited by Hugo Adam Bedau and Paul G. Cassell.  Oxford: Oxford University Press: 43). Thoughts? --Katwmn6 22:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Correcting Innacuracies
There are a number of innacuracies in the article that I have corrected, using Marhsall Frady's articel from The New Yorker as a reference. The inaccuracies include:

--That Rector killed Criswell and Officer Martin while robbing a convenience store. This is incorrect. Rector kille Criswell in an altercation at a dance hall. He shot Officer Martin three days later, after originally agreeing to surrender to Martin.

--That Clinton returned to AK to view the execution. This is partially correct--Clinton did interrupt his presidential campaign to return to AK, but he did not view the execution. He merely wanted to be on hand to field any last minute requests for clemency. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moroveus (talk • contribs) 05:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

NPOV
The language and wording of this article, especially the summary paragraph, present opinions and speculation about the subject of the article without sources. While it was contested that he was unfit to stand trial or understand the concept of death, that was the point of view of the defense, and should not be presented as 100% fact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.76.137.201 (talk) 07:06, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

AK is Alaska AR is Arkansas — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.200.252.49 (talk) 22:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Possibly plagarized
Entire sections of this article appear at the following location: http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/1/24/105451/284 from the context and scope of the linked article it seems like this article is a mixture of opinion and copy paste. I am going to hold off on a NFD in hopes that the article can undergo cleanup, and under the assumption that when verifiable sources are found and used that the subject will meet Wikipedias notability guidelines. As/of right now this article fails to meet any of the notability guidelines, but I believe that is more from lack of research than anything else. 72.76.137.201 (talk) 07:32, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You mean the section that starts "According to Wikipedia"? Um, it seems like they've copied us. -- Kendrick7talk 18:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Citation request regarding suicide attempt
There is a previously cited and linked Justia publication of the appellate decision. It also specifically refers to the Ford test which requires that a defendant know what an execution is, and why he or she is being executed.

Since Rector put aside his pecan pie from is last meal, to save it for the next day's breakfast, he clearly did not understand that he was being executed, that it was going to be the end of his life. He also actively participated with the executioners in the incredibly long process of finding a vein to administer the lethal drugs.

This is from the appellate decision that allowed the execution to proceed.

On March 22, 1981, Ricky Ray Rector shot and killed Arthur Criswell and wounded two others at a Conway, Arkansas restaurant. On March 24, 1981, Officer Bob Martin of the Conway Police Department went to the home of petitioner's mother in search of petitioner, as he was the prime suspect in the murder. While the officer was talking with Mrs. Rector, petitioner entered the back of the house, proceeded into the living room, and fatally shot Officer Martin. Moments later petitioner unsuccessfully attempted suicide by shooting himself in the forehead.2 He was taken to a hospital where his gunshot wound was cleaned and surgically closed.

 * 2 The trauma to petitioner's head resulted in the severance of about three inches of the left frontal pole. This is commonly referred to in medical terms as a frontal lobotomy

The Ford majority found that the eighth amendment prevented the execution of "one whose mental illness prevents him from comprehending the reasons for the penalty or its implications." Ford, supra, 477 U.S. at 417, 106 S.Ct. at 2606. Similarly, in his concurring opinion, Justice Powell stated: "I would hold that the Eighth Amendment forbids the execution only of those who are unaware of the punishment they are about to suffer and why they are to suffer it." Id. at 422, 106 S.Ct. at 2608. In the Missouri case of Smith v. Armontrout, 857 F.2d 1228, 1230 (8th Cir.1988), this court cited to Ford: "Under [Ford ], it would be a violation of the Eighth Amendment to execute someone who lacks capacity to understand the nature and purpose of the punishment about to be imposed on him." Therefore, according to Ford, we must examine two factors in assessing petitioner's competency to be executed: (1) whether petitioner understands that he is to be punished by execution; and (2) whether petitioner understands why he is being punished. An examination of the record leads us to believe that petitioner is competent to be executed under these standards.

Rector clearly did not understand that the execution process would be the end of his life. The federal examiners, upon whose opinion the judge relied, were clearly wrong. Activist (talk) 18:24, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Last Meal - Basis for removal of citation request
I've found extensive, apparently independent citations about the specifics of that last meal, including what other components it contained (i.e., fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, etc.), citations that he told  a  correctional officer that he wanted to save the pecan pie "for later," and for that purpose he put it on his cell's windowsill as he was being taken away for execution. It would appear that Hitchens covered that in depth and he was a determinately thorough researcher, though his book is not on line. I also found the dissents by Justice Thurgood Marshall in the case, including his 1991 opinion that cert should in fact granted and why he believed Justice Powell to be wrong. In my long search, I did not find a single mention anywhere that disputed the contention that the pie situation actually occurred and that it in fact was prima facie evidence that he was not competent to understand that he was being put to death. I've consequently removed the request for another citation. Activist (talk) 19:18, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

File talk:Cathedral of Magdeburg Inside.jpg

WHAT was the big deal about the (-ahem- approx. "3 pixels") off center issue? Anyway?

Does some one have OCD concerning centered photos of Cathedrals or is there some kind of encyclopedic etiquette for how PERFECT photos of the interior of historical cathedrals must be?

Please some one enlighten me, because I am confounded on why this was such a national emergency.

-K

 * I think it is no big deal if an image is not centered perfectly. I centered my image to make it look nicer, and got it correct plusminus 3 pixels, which is good enough for me. --Chris 73 Talk 04:13, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)

INTIALLY I had the same thought as K about the "centering" discussion. After reading the discussion I had learned a bit about image manipulation and testing. I do not fully understand it but think Chris's work well -- fascinating. Ohya and the image too. I am loath to distain attention to detail. -Prk Dec18

Eastern Standard Tribe

Eastern Standard Tribe is a 2004 science fiction novel by Canadian writer Cory Doctorow. Like Doctorow's first two books, the entire text was released under a Creative Commons license on Doctorow's website, allowing the whole text of the book to be read for free and distributed without the publisher's permission.

Plot summary
The novel takes place in a world where online "tribes" form, where all members set their circadian rhythms to the same time zone even though members may be physically located throughout the world.

The protagonist, Art Berry, has been sent to an insane asylum as a result of a complex conspiracy. Told mostly in flashbacks, Art explains that he works in London as a consultant for the Greenwich 0 tribe. In reality, though, both he and his associate Fede are in fact double-agents for the Eastern Standard Tribe. Despite his talents as a human experience engineer, Art delivers subtly flawed proposals to the GMT tribe in order to undermine them and enable his own tribe to get a coveted contract.

He meets a girl, Linda, after he hits her with his car at 3am. Art has an idea for peer-to-peer music sharing between automobiles, and plans to give it to the EST (taking a cut to himself). However, his girlfriend meets his coworker, Fede, and they plan to double cross the EST and sell the idea to another tribe. Knowing Art won't approve of the plan, they do it behind his back.

Fede later claims he would have cut Art in on the deal afterwards. However, Art figures out what is going on, and as a result they have him committed to an insane asylum to protect their plot.

The book alternates between two points of view: Art meeting Linda in London, and Art in the asylum. The London plot culminates in his attack on Fede when he discovers his betrayal. The asylum plot takes place after his attack on Fede, and culminates in his escape from the asylum and founding of a new company to market health care products using his inside knowledge of psychiatric institutions.

Literary significance and reception
Kirkus Reviews described this novel in their review as "A near-future yarn that would have worked better as a piece of speculative nonfiction." Regina Schroeder in reviewing for Booklist said that "Doctorow’s fast, bizarre follow-up to Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is a reaction to the impact of instant global communication in which it is hard to tell whether the phenomena being reacted to have actually been observed or are the consequences of his imagination."

Don D'Ammassa in his review for Chronicle addressed satire in science fiction saying "There was a time when broad satires had an honored place in SF, but that has changed over the course of years, and now novelists have to slip their satire in around an otherwise serious story most of the time. Cory Doctorow pushes the envelope a bit, because very little of the present story is particularly serious, but the satire is done with so light a touch that it's not intrusive at all." He described the novel as "funny and superficially lightweight, but when you're done, you might find yourself subject to troubling afterthoughts."

Rafael Godoy

Rafael Godoy Lozano (24 October 1907 – 14 March 1973)  was a well-known Colombian composer born in Natagaima, Tolima.

Biography
From a young age, he was linked to the trade-union movement in Barrancabermeja, Santander, from where he had to emigrate when his personal security was threatened. He fled to Venezuela, where he developed his musical career and composed what are often taken to be his best musical pieces.

His most widely known, and possibly best song, is the bambuco "Soy colombiano" (I'm Colombian); he composed many other less-known bambucos and andean music songs, such as "Arrunchaditos", "Pasito", "Mi cafetal", "Canto a Colombia", "Tierra caliente" and many others.

Many versions of "Soy colombiano" have appeared since it was composed, even a vallenato version by Lisandro Meza, although the most popular version is the one from the Tolimense folk music duet Garzón y Collazos.

Rafael Godoy died in Caracas, Venezuela, on March 14, 1973 at the age of 65.

Palhoça

Palhoça is a municipality in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

History
Palhoça was founded in 1793, when the city was part of the way between Lages and Florianópolis in order to protect the capital state from possible invasions. Its name comes from "straw roof", named such because of the large number of houses with this kind of roof when the first Palhoça citizens were natives.

Geography
Palhoça is located in the greater Florianópolis region. It is bordered on the north by São José, on the west by Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, on the south by Paulo Lopes, on the east by Santa Catarina Island south bay and on the southeast by the Atlantic Ocean.

Its coast consists of a long mangrove and beaches on the south.

The municipality contains part of the 84130 ha Serra do Tabuleiro State Park, a protected area created in 1975. The lushly-forested park protects the sources of the Vargem do Braço, Cubatão and D'Una rivers, which supply most of the drinking water for greater Florianópolis and the south coast region. The highest point of the city is Cambirela mountain, located in the state park.

Economy
The most important industries of the city are located in the industrial area in the neighborhood of Jardim Eldorado. The commerce plays an important role mainly in the Ponte do Imaruim and downtown, although Pagani started to become important for the city's economy since the City Hall and the City Chamber moved there in 2005. The south region has developed tourism and fishing as a way to improve the local economy since this region is not so integrated to the rest of the city due to geographical and political reasons.

The economy has been growing, and an important national clothing company and a multinational beverage company have built their centers of distribution in Palhoça. A shopping mall was inaugurated in 2010 together with a large supermarket, a hotel, and recently a middle-sized department store downtown. For that reasons, the number of jobs has increased.

New private neighborhoods have been built, concerned about natural preservation and quality of life, increasing the number of the population and jobs opportunities.

Transportation
BR-282 highway connects the city with Santo Amaro da Imperatriz while BR-101 connects Palhoça with São José and Paulo Lopes.

The bus is the only means of public transportation in Palhoça. Jotur, Imperatriz and Paulo Lopes are the bus companies that operate in Palhoça.

Notable people

 * Ricardo dos Santos (1990—2015), surfer who defeated Kelly Slater

'Unincorporated'
I find the use of this word distracting. It's in the first sentence and it just seems hugely irrelevant to me. Thisisfutile (talk) 03:36, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

 * How is it distracting? It's pointing out that it occurred in a rural area of the county that isn't part of any township. —  The Hand That Feeds You :Bite 14:25, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You get all that from "unincorporated"? To me, it sounds as irrelevant as pointing out the county is shaped like an UGG boot.  Why not make it read "rural area", like you just did to explain it to me.  I'm 50 years old and I've never heard the term unincorporated in reference to a county.  I've lived in rural counties all my life to boot (no UGG pun intended). Thisisfutile (talk) 15:45, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

The description is correct, I don't believe it should be changed simply because some people don't understand what an unincorporated area is. 🔒 ALL IN 🧿 16:38, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

 * So why is the word 'rural' in the history? It was removed at one point in favor of this ridiculous, 6-sylable word that only a few will glean information from.  I guess the 6-sylable part is what get's all the authors excited here...sounds fancy, and really important.
 * By the way, I love your use of the word "simply" (smell that irony. One of the most important things written in the history of the USA is linked here with relative analysis ... https://patch.com/connecticut/durham/the-memorable-monosyllables-of-lincolns-gettysburg-address
 * tl;dr Simple is better. Thisisfutile (talk) 18:18, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You're conflating your unfamiliarity with the word with "it's distracting/irrelevant." Pointing out that this is an unincorporated region is more accurate. "Simpler is better" is not universally true.
 * Also don't insult other editors by insinuating they're trying to use "fancy" words to feel important. —  The Hand That Feeds You :Bite 15:27, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't particularly agree with Thisisfutile's reasoning, but "rural" does seem like the better word to me. Municipal incorporation in the US is an arbitrary distinction. Places like East Los Angeles and Paradise, Nevada are unincorporated, yet they're far from rural.
 * If the point is to convey to the reader that this happened in a rural area, then it's better to just use the word "rural". For the purposes of this article, it doesn't really matter whether or not services in the area are provided by the city or by the county. What matters is that it happened in a place that was remote and sparsely populated. A place that could be described as "rural". Surachit (talk) 20:55, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The point is to identify the location. The county is listed, and since readers may expect a municipality to be listed, the article specifies unincorporated so that the reader will know that it is outside any municipality. I doubt that rural/urban has anything to do with it, but then again I live in an area where there can be unincorporated urban areas along with incorporated rural municipalities. 🔒 ALL IN 🧿 20:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I think describing the location as "rural" would be more informative to international readers. If the article says "rural Carroll County" and no municipality is listed, I would think most people would understand that it happened outside of a municipality.

 * The word "unincorporated" doesn't really help to identify the location. I don't think most people are going to be familiar with which parts of Carroll County, KY are incorporated and which parts are not. Surachit (talk) 01:44, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I freely admit that when I started this discussion, I came to the park to feed the pigeons and then ran in, flinging whole slices of bread directly at the them. Obviously, I'm not a salesman or even a good advocate for a cause (thanks to The Hand That Feeds You for pecking me on the head).  I now see that it would have been more convincing if I had walked in slowly, sprinkling breadcrumbs behind me.  Nevertheless, after reading Surachit's argument, then seeing ALL IN vacillate, and ultimately hearing no rebutle to surachit's final comment, it would seem that rural would be the better, more accurate choice.  Agreed? Thisisfutile (talk) 13:19, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

"There has been some controversy over the signs."
That's a statement about the memorial sign, but the article doesn't say what's so controversial about it. The source for that claim merely says that some residents wanted the sign to be taken down, but it doesn't say why. I don't think that "controversial" or "controversy" are good words to reflect the statement from the source. Some residents not being happy with a sign seems to be too "harmless" to be called a "controversy". There may be other sources that go into detail about the reasons for wanting the sign to be taken down. Maybe those other sources would indeed show something worth being called a controversy, but the current source doesn't seem to support such a strong word. Nakonana (talk) 17:15, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * I removed the statement. A claim like that needs more than a passing mention of a disagreement from a single source. Stefen Towers among the rest!   Gab • Gruntwerk 17:54, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Cocktail shaker sort

performance
As the article says, cocktail sort is a slight modification to bubble / exchange sort. Given that, and on inspecting the code, it looks to me that the worst-case performance is $$O(n^2)$$ rather than $$O(n^3)$$. I'm going to do a bit of research on this first before editing the article, though. Jgoulden (talk) 22:09, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

 * You are correct, a bidirectional bubble sort is $$O(n^2)$$.   A simple proof is that one forward-and-back traversal guarantees the first and last element of the list are in the correct position.    One traversal takes $$2n$$ steps,  and sorting the list takes no more than $$n/2$$ traversals,  so the result is $$O(n^2)$$.

 * If you examine the page history, the edits from  217.205.57.110 in October are clearly vandalism,  and this particular vandal chose to make bubble sort an $$O(n^3)$$ algorithm,  among other absurdities.   Unfortunately people did not realize this and attempted to correct the vandal;   I've reviewed all the changes and simply reverted everything to as it was at the beginning of the month,  as all of the other changes were incomplete attempts to fix the vandalism. Obscuranym (talk) 09:13, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

sort
This algorithm can be refined by recording the last swap in each pass. For each step where you don't swap; if you have not swapped yet then move the start limit up, and if you're at the end limit then set that limit to your last swap and end that pass. Stop when the limits meet, or start the next pass at the new limit. This is helpful when only a limited area of the array has been de-sorted. In some applications you'll be able to pre-load the limits with helpful values.

 * It also speeds the algorithm up quite a bit on data that's already almost sorted. About eight years ago, I implemented the cocktail sort algorithm before I'd heard it given a name.  My program was a simple flat database app.  To delete a record it would move a record from the end to fill its place.  When the user adds, deletes and changes some records and then issues the sort command, the cocktail sort would simply and efficiently move the added records down into place, the records moved to replace deleted ones back up to the end, and the modified records in whatever direction they need to go. -- Smjg 12:26, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I've also come across "shaker sort" meaning something else: a variation of selection sort in which the minimum and maximum elements are picked out in each pass. We don't seem to have a mention of this variation - maybe this should be added to the Selection sort page and then mentioned here? -- Smjg 22:03, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. You need to be bold in editing pages and do that yourself! After all, you're the one who knows about that alternate meaning and can explain it. Graue 00:49, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Since Smjg didn't add it, I did (forgot to log in...). In case anyone's interested, there's an example implementation at http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/harrison/Java/. Is it worth making 'shaker sort' a page of its own which notes that it's also (more commonly) used as a name for cocktail sort? It's the 'more commonly' bit there that makes me somewhat apprehensive... that page is about the only one I can find where the name is used for something other than cocktail sort. Deewiant 18:17, 06 Aug 2005 (UTC)

F77 example
I would have done this with nice, PIC fortran 95 but I've only just begun to update my skills to the current standard. Oh well, perhaps someone who knows more than I can post code more up-to-date with current programming practice. CAPS LOCK

Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines

The Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines was a railroad that operated in South Jersey in the 20th century. It was created in 1933 as a joint consolidation venture between two competing railroads in the region: the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Reading Company.

History
In the early 20th century, Atlantic City and the South Jersey seashore were major seaside vacation destinations for Philadelphia area residents. The popularity of South Jersey's seashore was made possible by rail transport, which provided inexpensive and fast service between the Philadelphia area's population centers and shore points.

There were two competing railroad companies connecting Camden and, by ferry, Philadelphia, with the South Jersey seashore. Competition was fierce and by its height in the 1920s competition between the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad (WJ&S), owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Atlantic City Railroad, owned by the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, was so intense that at one time both lines boasted some of the fastest trains in the world. Trains often raced one another so as to be the first to arrive at their destination. Racing was encouraged by the fact that in many areas, the two lines were only several hundred feet apart. On the Cape May lines, the trains were in sight of each other for 11 miles between Cape May Court House and Cape May. Over the last 5 miles into Cape May, the tracks were only 50 feet apart.

On July 1, 1926, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge opened, spanning the Delaware River, connecting Philadelphia and Camden. Car, truck, and bus usage increased as the state built roads in the 1920s and 30s next to the railroads going from Camden to the shore, cutting into profits.

On March 4, 1931, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) ordered the two companies to join their southern New Jersey lines into one company. The Consolidation Agreement decreed that the Pennsylvania Railroad had two-thirds ownership, and the Reading Company had one-third ownership.

Following World War II, the rise of automobile use, the completion of the Atlantic City Expressway, and growing popularity of air travel led to a reduction in rail use. Increased air travel also led some to abandon Atlantic City for more exotic vacation destinations, including Florida. By the late 1960s, the surviving former Camden and Atlantic City Main Line was reduced to a commuter service funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) running trains of Budd RDC railcars operating from a small terminal at Lindenwold PATCO station and Atlantic City.

While the P-RSL did not enter bankruptcy, its owners, the Penn Central, successor to the Pennsylvania, did. The Reading filed bankruptcy a few years after the Penn Central. As a result, Conrail took over the P-RSL on April 1, 1976.

West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
Effective May 4, 1896, the Pennsylvania Railroad consolidated all of its railroads and several smaller properties in South Jersey into the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad. The WJ&S had lines coming from its Federal Street Terminal in Camden.

The "Main Line" ran to Atlantic City and to other shore points via Winslow Junction, and its line via Woodbury to Millville. It was electrified with 650 volt DC third rail and overhead lines, with branches going to Salem, and Deep Water Point from Woodbury, and Bridgeton from Glassboro.

While the WJ&S line via Woodbury was a pioneering example of railroad electrification, electric multiple unit (MU) service between Newfield and Atlantic City ended September 26, 1931. The PRSL only inherited the electrified Millville–Camden commuter rail service from WJ&S.

Atlantic City Railroad
Effective April 1, 1889, the Philadelphia and Reading Railway consolidated all of its railroads in Southern New Jersey into the Atlantic City Railroad (ACRR).

The ACRR, a subsidiary of the Reading Company, had one line from its Kaighn's Point Terminal going to Winslow Junction with lines splitting off to Atlantic City, Ocean City, Wildwood, and Cape May. Branch lines included the Gloucester Branch to Grenloch, and the Willamstown Branch from Willamstown Junction (on the Atlantic City Main) to Mullica Hill to the south, and Atco to the north.

On July 15, 1933, The WJ&S was leased by the ACRR, and changed its name to Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, as the Consolidation Agreement had decreed.

Steam
The 21 steam locomotives owned by the PRSL were from the PRR subsidiary WJ&S. They all consisted of PRR classes. Before dieselization the PRSL was more apt to lease its motive power from either of its parent railroads as it completely lacked any heavy passenger locomotives (like 4-6-2 Pacifics). As its parent railroads began to replace steam with diesel locomotives, the PRSL became a haven for steam locomotives during their final years of operation.

Class B: 0-6-0
The 0-6-0 type was assigned class B, and was used in switcher service.
 * B-6sb
 * B8

Class E: 4-4-2
The 4-4-2 "Atlantic" type was assigned class E. and was used in passenger service.
 * E-3sb
 * E6s

Class G: 4-6-0
The 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" type was assigned class G. and was used in passenger service.
 * G5s

Class H: 2-8-0
The 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type was assigned class H, and was used in freight service.
 * H-6sb
 * H9s
 * H10s

Class K: 4-6-2
The 4-6-2 "Pacific" type was assigned class K. and was used in passenger service.
 * K4s

Since the Consolidation Agreement had decreed that the PRR Mechanical Department would oversee equipment policy decisions, the PRSL did not gain ownership of any ACRR-RDG locomotives.

Additional locomotives were leased as needed from PRSL's parent companies, PRR and RDG.

Diesel
Beginning in the 1950s the PRSL purchased a rather modest fleet of its own diesel locomotives to replace its steam engines for passenger and freight services. When additional power was needed for the busy summer tourist season engines were borrowed from the parent corporations (usually the PRR) as was true previously with the steam locomotives. To further supplement its small fleet the PRSL made increasing use of run through power on certain freight trains to large customers that did not require classification at the PRSL's Pavonia yard.

The first generation of PRSL diesel locomotives were all from the nearby Baldwin Locomotive Works, which was the vendor of choice for the parent PRR in both the steam and early diesel era. The PRSL's diesel locomotives were almost all painted in what is commonly referred to as Brunswick Green which was so dark it seemed almost black. The paint scheme was borrowed from its PRR parent and with the company's official name for this color being DGLE (Dark Green Locomotive Enamel). The undercarriage of the locomotives were painted in black referred to as "True Black."

Songs of Faith and Devotion Live

Songs of Faith and Devotion Live is the second live album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on 6 December 1993 by Mute Records. Recorded during the band's 1993 Devotional Tour, the album consists mainly of performances recorded in Liévin, France, with two other tracks recorded in Copenhagen and New Orleans, respectively. It was a track-by-track live duplication of Depeche Mode's eighth studio album, Songs of Faith and Devotion, which was released earlier in 1993.

The album was poorly received by critics and performed moderately on the charts, reaching number 46 on the UK Albums Chart and number 193 on the US Billboard 200. As of April 2006, it had sold 114,000 copies in the United States.

A near-complete concert of the Devotional Tour was released on the Devotional video album in 1993, and attained more commercial success.

Critical reception
In comparison to Songs of Faith and Devotion, Songs and Faith and Devotion Live received less acclaim from music critics; AllMusic rated the album two stars out of five.

The A.V. Club rated Songs of Faith and Devotion Live as the "Least Essential Live Album" of the 1990s, saying, "Depeche Mode has plugged in plenty of DAT and drum machines during its live performances, thereby allowing the band to crank out note-perfect versions of its studio hits. Featuring every track on Songs of Faith and Devotion, played live and in order, the album's live counterpart is monumentally unnecessary." In the same feature, the album was listed as one of ten nominees for "Least Essential Album" of the decade with the comment, "It's not like Depeche Mode is inclined to rely on radical instrumental improvisation live."

Doctor in the House (franchise)

Doctor in the House is the American collective name for seven separate British and Australian television comedy series inspired by a series of cinema films, which in turn were based on and inspired by a series of books by Richard Gordon, about the misadventures of a group of medical students — and their later misadventures as doctors.

The first five series, Doctor in the House, Doctor at Large, Doctor in Charge, Doctor at Sea and Doctor on the Go, were produced by London Weekend Television between 1969 and 1977.

The sixth series, Doctor Down Under, which was filmed and based in Australia, was produced by Australia's Seven Network in 1979.

The final series, Doctor at the Top, was produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation in 1991.

The same theme music — "Bond Street Parade" by Alan Tew — was used for all of the "Doctor" television series, including the Australian series Doctor Down Under.

Plot
The plot revolved around the trials of medical students at St Swithin's hospital in London.

Characters
The television series would employ a set of characters completely different from the original book series (the film and radio series would use the characters from the books).

The major protagonists were:
 * Michael Upton (Barry Evans), an easy-going, serious and somewhat anxious son of a doctor who is essentially following in his father's footsteps.
 * Duncan Waring (Robin Nedwell), Michael's best friend and roommate. He is just as bright as Upton, but far less serious in his studies, although he generally does well.  After Barry Evans left the show, Nedwell returned as Waring to become the focus of the show.
 * Paul Collier (George Layton), a less competent student and friend of Upton and Waring.
 * Dick Stuart-Clark (Geoffrey Davies), a thirtyish student who deliberately fails his courses in order to take advantage of his late grandmother's will, which bequeathed him a large sum of money for each year he is in medical school. Stuart-Clark is the only character present throughout all seven series.
 * Lawrence Bingham (Richard O'Sullivan), a brilliant, but arrogant and irritating doctor who believes he is the best of all possible doctors. He marries the equally obnoxious Dr. Mary Parsons (Helen Fraser) in the series Doctor in Charge. His need to continually impress her is the source of much comedy.

The main antagonist is the well-respected and ill-tempered surgeon Professor (later Sir) Geoffrey Loftus (Ernest Clark). Most of the plot lines revolve around the students' attempts to meet his demanding expectations.

Another hospital official with whom the students have contact is the Dean (Ralph Michael), who is more interested in the hospital's Rugby union team than he is in medicine.

Other characters in the early episodes, some of whom later reappeared for single episodes in subsequent series, include:
 * Danny Hooley (Jonathan Lynn), an Irish medical student who is a friend of Waring, Collier, Upton and Stuart-Clark. He later returns as an 'out-of-work doctor' in the Doctor in Charge episode "Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot?"
 * Huw Evans (Martin Shaw), a Welsh medical student, another friend of the four students. He reappears as a very nervous expectant father in the episode "Mother and Father Doing Well".
 * Dave Briddock (Simon Cuff), another friend of the students. He spends part of the series living with Helga, his Swedish girlfriend.

Guest stars
Notable guest stars throughout the run of the series and its sequels included:

Hattie Jacques, Mollie Sugden, Roy Kinnear, Maureen Lipman, Patricia Routledge, Graeme Garden, David Jason, John Le Mesurier, Arthur Lowe, Angela Scoular, Tessa Wyatt and John Bluthal.

Writers
Unusually for a British situation comedy series Doctor in the House did not depend on a single writer or partnership to write the scripts. The writers who worked on the series are often better known for their other work. Monty Python's Graham Chapman and John Cleese and The Goodies Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie were among the regular writers. Chapman and Garden both trained as doctors. Graeme Garden also appeared as a "Television Presenter" in the episode "Doctor on the Box".

While keeping mostly to the conventions of the situation comedy genre, the shows occasionally stretched the boundaries of what was seen on television. One script by Cleese called for Michael Upton to rip away a woman's dress in a single movement (she was hiding a key he needed in her cleavage). Another featured a stripper collapsing on stage mid-act with suspected pneumonia. A script by Garden and Oddie included a scene played out using cartoon drawings of the performers, in the style of a teenage romance magazine, while the actors voiced their lines.

Location of St. Swithin's Hospital
The building used as the fictional St. Swithin's Hospital is, in fact, the old Wanstead Hospital (based in Wanstead, London, E11). A number of years ago it was converted into a residential building and is now called Clock Court. It is a listed building based on Hermon Hill, within the London Borough of Redbridge. Before becoming a hospital it was an orphanage for children whose parents were lost at sea, and the architecture of the building depicts images of boats carved into the intricate stone. A number of celebrities are rumoured to have lived there over the years including the actor Gary Lucy (The Bill), and Heart FM radio DJ Paul Hollins.

Australia
The show proved to be very popular in Australia, where the series Doctor Down Under was filmed and based.

North America
From about 1971 to 1974 the program was syndicated in the United States and Canada by Group W Productions. The umbrella title Doctor in the House was used for all shows, and episodes from different series were sometimes shown out of sequence. The program briefly reappeared in US syndication in the 1980s, airing both episodes seen in its original US run and ones from later series.

Riverside South, Manhattan

Riverside South is an urban development project in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City. It was originated by six civic associations – The Municipal Art Society, Natural Resources Defense Council, New Yorkers for Parks, Regional Plan Association, Riverside Park Fund, and Westpride – in partnership with real estate developer Donald Trump. The largely residential complex, located on the site of a former New York Central Railroad yard, includes Freedom Place and Riverside Center. The $3 billion project is on 57 acre of land along the Hudson River between 59th Street and 72nd Street.

Development of the rail yard site generated considerable community opposition. Trump's 1970s-era proposal was widely opposed and failed to gain traction. In 1982, Lincoln West, a much smaller project, was approved with community support, but the developers failed to obtain financing. Planning for the current project began in the late 1980s. The project was originally designed to include 16 apartment buildings with a maximum of 5,700 residential units, 1.8 e6sqft of studio space, 300000 sqft of office space, ancillary retail space, and a 75 acre waterfront park.

Trump sold Riverside South to investors from Hong Kong and mainland China, who began construction in 1997. In 2005, the investors sold the remaining unfinished portions to the Carlyle Group and the Extell Development Company.

60th Street Rail Yard
The land for the development was formerly a rail freight yard owned by the New York Central Railroad, located between 59th and 72nd streets. By 1849 an embankment near West End Avenue, with a span over a tidal lagoon, carried the Hudson River Railroad, later part of New York Central. At the time, much of the current site of Riverside South was still under water. By 1880, what had been river was transformed by landfill into the New York Central Railroad's vast 60th Street Yard.

In the 1930s, New York City parks commissioner Robert Moses covered New York Central's rail track north of 72nd Street in the vast West Side Improvement project, which also moved rail lines below grade south of 60th Street. The Moses project was bigger than Hoover Dam and created the Henry Hudson Parkway. The adjacent Riverside Park was expanded to the Hudson River in such a way that the park and road look like they are set on a natural slope.

Until the 1970s, the rail yard area was generally industrial. The area was home to a printing plant for The New York Times between 1959 and 1975, as well as ABC television studios. At the same time, public housing extended to West End Avenue (across the street from the printing plant and the TV studios), and the Lincoln Towers redevelopment project extended to the rail yard boundary along Freedom Place. In 1962, the railroad proposed a partnership with the Amalgamated Lithographers Union to build a mixed-use development with 5,300 apartments, Litho City, on a platform over the tracks, with landfill in the Hudson River added for parks and docking facilities. Litho City was conceived as the centerpiece of a grandiose "master plan" for the entire Lincoln Square area. In the late 1960s, there were various proposals by the city's Educational Construction Fund for mixed residential and school projects, also partly on landfill.

New York Central merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad to form Penn Central in 1968 as the rail lines were suffering severe financial difficulties that would ultimately lead to the demise of both. (The rail yard was known as the "Penn Yards" even though Penn Central only owned it for a brief period.) The railroad finally went bankrupt in 1971, and use of the yard for rail activities was abandoned.

Early planning and Lincoln West
After Penn Central declared bankruptcy, its assets were sold off in federal court. Aided by his father's influence, real estate developer Donald Trump first optioned the 59th–72nd Street yards in 1974 for no money down. Following a private meeting with Trump, his father, and Mayor Abraham Beame, the firm that was selling off Penn Central's assets gave the option to Trump because he "seemed best positioned [...] to get rezoning and government financing". Initially, Trump wanted to build up to 20,000 or 30,000 housing units on the site. After objections from the politically powerful Manhattan Community Board 7, which represents the neighborhood that included the rail yard, Trump twice downsized his plans for the yards. One of his proposals was for 12,450 apartments, and it depended on public financing that never materialized. One version had a relocated highway and a pseudo-park.

In 1979, Trump decided against extending his option and Abe Hirschfeld, a longtime friend of Trump's father, took over the agreement. Hirschfeld soon brought in an Argentine company, the Macri Group, as majority partner, and in 1982, for the first time, a redevelopment plan was approved for the site – a 7.3 e6sqft, largely residential project named Lincoln West. The partnership exercised its option for the land but was unable to obtain financing for the development. Journalist Wayne Barrett, who covered the Penn Central deals for The Village Voice, attributed the lack of interest from banks in part to concessions Macri had made to the city and in part to Trump's behind-the-scenes machinations. Subsequently, in January 1985, Trump bought the rights of the Macri Group for $95 million. This was part of a $115 million expenditure that allowed Trump to gain complete control of the rail yard site.

Television City

In 1985, Trump proposed building a vast complex on the rail yard site, which he called Television City. The complex would feature headquarters for NBC along with television studios. The plan involved 15.5 e6sqft of residential, retail, office, and studio construction, including 7,600 residential units, a parking garage, the largest shopping mall on the East Coast, a hotel, and other spaces. The centerpiece of the project, designed by Helmut Jahn, was to be a 150-story tower in the middle of the complex, dubbed the "World's Tallest Building." Six other towers, each 76 stories high, would also be built north and south of the 150-story tower. Trump wanted to develop the area immediately: his plan called for Television City to break ground by 1987.

New York Times architecture critic Paul Goldberger wrote that Television City was "woefully simplistic." "Putting huge towers in open space, with little connection to the varied pattern of streets, smaller spaces and different building types of the real city, is to see the city only as an abstraction, as a kind of game board on which you move huge pieces at will," he wrote Carter Wiseman, New York Magazine architecture critic, agreed with Goldberger. Wiseman wrote that "isolated towers," such as those proposed in Television City, "survive in most of the world's major cities as reminders to planners that this brand of angst-inducing exclusivity is nasty to live with." Wiseman also complained that the development would overwhelm infrastructure at the 72nd Street/Broadway station of the New York City Subway (now served by the ).

Since the new plan was more than twice the size of the previously approved project, Television City generated fierce opposition. Some Upper West Side residents created a group called Westpride to fight Trump's plan, enlisting notable residents of the area, and raising several hundred thousand dollars to fund the effort.

Negotiations between Trump and Mayor Ed Koch about NBC's possible relocation to Television City devolved into name-calling. Instead of giving tax breaks to Trump, as he had demanded, Koch gave tax breaks directly to NBC, allowing it to decide where to locate its studios. In response, Trump called on Koch to resign, and Koch compared Trump to "a stuck pig."

To improve his chances of gaining approval, Trump fired Jahn and asked Alexander Cooper, a favorite of both architecture critics and city officials, to redesign the project. Cooper reduced the 150-story tower to 136 stories and relocated it to the southern part of the development. But the modified project still contained roughly the same amount of space, including 1.5 e6ft2 each of studio and retail space as well as 7,600 housing units. The six 72-story towers were replaced with slightly smaller, 45- to 57-story skyscrapers, which line one side of an avenue that would run north-south through most of the development. The new site plan was endorsed by the New York City Department of City Planning, so much so that the City Planning Commission forced an adjacent project, then known as Manhattan West, to conform to Cooper's site plan, which included a block-wide park between 63rd and 64th streets extending east to West End Avenue, beyond Trump's property line. Cooper's version of Television City still failed to satisfy critics.

In 1987, NBC, fearing delays, decided to continue broadcasting from Rockefeller Center. The project was then downsized slightly to 14.5 e6ft2 by removing the studio space in favor of more open space and adding two small office buildings. For the new project, renamed Trump City, Trump announced that 760 units would be designated as affordable units and reserved for the elderly.

During the same period, Community Board 7 and the Municipal Art Society jointly sponsored a planning effort, known as West Side Futures, to preserve the character of the Upper West Side. In addition to recommending various zoning changes to address "overdevelopment" in the larger area, the study had specific recommendations when it came to the Penn Yards, including an extension of Riverside Park to the south, the Manhattan street grid extended through the site, familiar building types, and development limited to the amount approved for Lincoln West. Since Trump City bore no resemblance to these recommendations, community members still opposed the plan, despite recent changes.

Some observers contend that the City Planning Commission would never have approved Trump City. But given the Commission's endorsement of Alex Cooper's site plan, the project likely would indeed have been approved, although perhaps not Trump's proposed transfer of development rights from the 20 acres of the site that were in the Hudson River. Omitting the transfer of underwater development rights would still have left Trump City with about 10.8 million square feet of development.

Riverside South plan
In 1989, six civic organizations proposed an alternative plan devised by Daniel Gutman, an environmental planner, and Paul Willen, an architect. Known as Riverside South, this civic alternative was a largely residential project of 7.3 e6sqft, the previously approved floor area, based on relocating, and partially burying the West Side Highway to make room for a 23 acre expansion of Riverside Park, mirroring the design of Riverside Park further north. To create the park, Trump City's proposed shopping mall would be removed and the elevated West Side Highway would be relocated eastward to grade and buried. A new Riverside Boulevard would curve above the relocated highway, with the park sloping down toward the river.

When Community Board 7 realized that the Civic Alternative met the board's stated criteria for developing the Penn Yards site, it altered the criteria at the urging of their congressman, Rep. Jerry Nadler.

Facing massive financial pressure due to his mounting debts, Trump acquiesced and formed a partnership with his critics, formally the Riverside South Planning Corporation (RSPC). While noting that Trump's abandonment of his original plan came as a surprise, Paul Goldberger, in his appraisal of the final Riverside South plan, wrote that "Riverside South, the huge project planned for the 72-acre former Penn Central rail yards on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, now stands a real chance of being a cause for celebration rather than embarrassment."

With a master plan by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill/Paul Willen, FAIA, the RSPC compromise project was approved in 1992 without the television studios and office space that Trump had substituted for some of the residential space. The final project size was 6.1 e6sqft with 1.8 e6sqft of television studios still possible on the two southern blocks. Aside from a major new park, the community was promised a significant enhancement to Freedom Place, an existing four-block street behind a Lincoln Towers parking garage, including a monument to replace a plaque commemorating the three civil rights workers who were killed in Mississippi in 1964.

Early on, the project faced opposition for being somewhat larger than the previously approved Lincoln West, for increasing traffic on West End Avenue and crowding at the 72nd Street subway station, for including no affordable housing, and because of its association with Trump. Minor objections included potentially blocking all of the westward-facing windows of the Chatsworth, a preexisting apartment building on 72nd Street, as well as views from Lincoln Towers. In addition, residents of 71st Street objected to the extension of their street to Riverside Boulevard, thereby making their cul-de-sac into a through street.

The 71st Street problem was easily solved by placing bollards between the existing cul-de-sac and a new mirror-image cul-de-sac on Riverside South property. Most of the major issues were resolved during the approval process. Trump agreed to slightly reduce the overall project size, to partially fund an expansion of the subway station, to guarantee the affordability of a minimum of 12% of the dwelling units, and that the development would pay for construction and maintenance of the new public park. However, some people still strongly opposed the project, with Rep. Nadler saying that the public park would be a 10 e6$/acre "private backyard for the people who live in these buildings."

Start of construction

With Chase Manhattan Bank demanding repayment, Trump sold controlling interest of the project to a consortium of Hong Kong- and China-based investors called Polylinks International Ltd. Polylinks paid $82 million to Chase to obtain the property, leaving Chase with a $218 million loss. This joint venture finally put in motion the largest private development project in New York City history. Trump remained the public face of the group, and chief marketer, as he has on many other projects, but he lost control. Due to the weak economy, as well as significant community opposition, construction was delayed for several years as lawsuits were resolved and the new investors sought public financing. Trump was accused of political payoffs to Republican State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno in return for the latter's prospective approval of a state low-interest mortgage for the project. The state mortgage was never granted.

The development was delayed repeatedly, with the first building originally slated to start construction in 1995, then in October 1996, and finally in January 1997. With improvement in the development climate, the new investors began construction in 1997, placing the name "Trump Place" in large letters on three buildings. Although Trump ceased his active involvement in the development in 2001, he retained his 30% limited partnership.

The Buildings Department discovered in November 1997 that defective concrete had been used in the capitals of columns supporting the fifth floor of 300 Riverside Boulevard, which had been built to 20 stories high by then. Fearing that the planned 46-story structure might collapse if the building rose to even 30 stories, the City halted construction. Work on 300 Riverside Boulevard resumed in early 1998 after the defective concrete was torn out and new concrete was poured.

West Side Highway relocation
One of the key components of Riverside South is relocating the West Side Highway eastward from a viaduct to a rail-yard-grade-level tunnel between approximately West 70th Street and West 61st Street to facilitate a southward expansion of Riverside Park. The current viaduct between 72nd and 59th Streets is the only remaining section of the West Side Elevated Highway that once ran to the southern tip of Manhattan. The highway closed in 1973 when part of the 1920s- and 1930s-era elevated highway collapsed at 14th Street. Below 34th Street, the proposed replacement, an interstate highway in new landfill known as Westway, was defeated, so in 1988, the state settled on an at-grade boulevard up to 57th Street flanked by a new Hudson River Park.

Robert Moses had proposed relocating the highway between 59th and 72nd streets to grade to facilitate an extension of Riverside Park. But the state rejected that proposal because of the presumed negative effect on development opportunities and because it would violate the Blumenthal Amendment, which prohibited any highway construction that would alter Riverside Park. In 1976, Donald Trump seized on Robert Moses' proposal as a way to enhance his development plans, negating one of State DOT's objections. But cost was still an issue. While the state owned an easement through the site, neither the state nor the city (nor Trump, at that point) owned the land. Although the City could have acquired the land in the 1970s from the bankrupt Penn Central, the City was near bankruptcy itself, and consequently preferred to keep the site in private hands to forestall demands for public expenditure. Trump's proposed 12,000-unit residential development went nowhere. So the state proposed to reconstruct the viaduct through the rail yard site.

With city approval in 1992 of the Riverside South plan, Trump agreed to turn over the land for both the park and the highway relocation. He also agreed to create a public park with private funds. But opponents maintained that any complementary public funding to bury the road would benefit only the developer. And the new mayor and governor declined to immediately relocate the highway because, they argued, relocation would effectively waste the public funds used for the viaduct renovation, which had already begun. Other opponents were upset by the decision to close the West Side Highway northbound entrance and exit ramps at 72nd Street and fought to deny the highway project any funding, thinking that they could thereby scuttle the entire development.

Nevertheless, planning proceeded, albeit in fits and starts. Approved by the Federal Highway Administration in 2001, the highway plan called for relocating the elevated highway to the grade of the rail yard east of the present alignment, constructing supports for Riverside Boulevard in the form of a tunnel that would enclose the highway's northbound lanes, with the future park beginning above an adjacent tunnel enclosing the southbound lanes and continuing on a slope down to the waterfront. The exit ramp was subsequently closed and, in June 2006, the developer began construction of the northbound tunnel between 61st and 65th Streets. However, the rest of the tunnel remains unfinished.

Opening and new developers
The project was jointly developed by the Trump Organization and Hudson Waterfront Associates, representing the Hong Kong investors.

In 2005, the Chinese investors sold the project, excluding the finished condominiums, to the Carlyle Group and the Extell Development Company. Contending that the sale for $1.76 billion was little more than half what the property was worth, Trump sued his partners, but lost. Carlyle and Extell then sold the three apartment buildings with rental units to Equity Residential.

In late 2008, Extell proposed a 2900000 sqft, largely residential project on the southern two blocks (59th to 61st Streets) to complete the development (up from 2400000 sqft – the 1800000 sqft of studio space plus 600000 sqft of residential space already approved). The Extell project, known as Riverside Center, was approved by the City Council in 2010.

Buildings
The second phase of Riverside South was completed when the housing market improved. Extell completed three buildings: The Avery (100 Riverside Boulevard), a 32-floor, 274-unit tower; The Rushmore (80 Riverside Boulevard), a group of 43-story towers that share sixteen lower floors and contain a combined 289 units; and The Aldyn (60 Riverside Boulevard), a 40-floor condominium buildings. The Riverside Center buildings were approved in November 2010.

Overall, the project consists of 19 apartment buildings, condominiums, and lease properties. , the buildings housed a combined 8,000 people; the area was collectively called "Riverside Boulevard" after its main street, or "The Strip" after its long, narrow shape. Six more towers with a combined 3,000 units, as well as a school, a hotel, retail and restaurant space, and space for a movie theater, had yet to be completed. A 3.4 acre park between the buildings was in the planning stages. Most living units in Riverside South are high-end housing, costing at least $2,000 /ft2. Per-foot real estate prices for Riverside South housing rose 66% from 2004 to 2014, compared with a 43% increase in real estate on the Upper West Side overall. For instance, baseball player Alex Rodriguez bought a 39th-floor Rushmore condominium for $5.5 million in March 2011, then sold it for $8 million in January 2012.

At the same time, 12% to 20% of the units will be designated as affordable, as required by the City Planning Commission approval of the project. However, some buildings in the development, such as One Riverside Park, came under controversy for having separate entrances for affordable-housing residents, despite the legality of such "poor doors" in mixed-housing buildings.

, the last two Riverside South projects were being completed; these projects were the off-centered, 362-unit One West End condominium building, as well as a glass-and-masonry, 616-unit rental building at 21 West End Avenue. The former was slated to have 116 affordable units, while the latter would have 127 affordable units. These two buildings were being built in conjunction with a 700-seat public school and retail spaces, as well as a possible "European-style food market and restaurant". The project's developers, Extell and Carlyle, were planning to sell the remaining three building lots to a Boston-based company, General Investment and Development Companies. In the same year, Collegiate School announced plans to build a new 10-story campus building at 301 Freedom Place South.

After the 2016 presidential election, petitions from current residents led the owner of the three buildings at 140, 160, and 180 Riverside Boulevard to remove the name "Trump Place" from the facades. Residents cited Trump's offensive behavior during the U.S. 2016 presidential campaign. The residents of the last building named Trump Place voted to remove the Trump name in February 2019.

Parks

The new 25 acre Riverside Park South extends Riverside Park. Phase 1, a 7 acre section from 72nd to 68th Streets, was opened in April 2001. Pier I at 70th Street, part of the railyard, was rebuilt; it maintains its original length of 795 ft, but is narrower than originally, at 55 ft. Phase 2 comprises a waterfront section from 70th Street to 65th Street. Phase 2, opened in June 2003, has two plazas at 66th and 68th Streets, as well as a jagged waterfront. Phase 3, opened in August 2006, stretches from 65th Street to 62nd Street on the waterfront. Phase 4 opened in 2007 along the waterfront from 62nd to 57th Streets. A new mixed-use bikeway and walkway was also built through the park, linking Hudson River Park with Riverside Park.

The design of Phases 5 and 6, located between the current and future highway alignments, is partly tied to the fate of the highway relocation, the timing of which is still uncertain. The city plans to expand the park with new baseball and soccer fields, bikeways, lawns, picnic areas, and restrooms. To further that plan, the Parks Department has approved a design for the last two sections; construction will start in 2017. Relocating the highway will require some reconstruction of the park.

The park contains site-specific sculptures, railway ruins, gardens, a waterfront promenade, and a walkway. Portions of the former rail yard, such as the New York Central Railroad 69th Street Transfer Bridge, were incorporated into the new park. The transfer bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Nearly a dozen rail yard ruins, such as a burnt warehouse frame, were ultimately integrated into the park. As a reminder of the location's history, New York Central Railroad logos are engraved onto park benches. A block away, on West End Avenue, a privately owned park has a remnant of a stone wall, as a remaining part of the embankment that dated to 1847. Construction workers had unearthed the stones during construction in 1994; some stones were salvaged for the new park during the four-day construction hiatus for archaeological excavation.

Other structures
Manhattan Community Board 7 members blamed Trump for failing to build the proposed enhancement and monument at Freedom Place. However, the Riverside South Planning Corporation said that the Freedom Place plan was merely a concept for an arts program that was not included in the final project.

A street called Freedom Place South, along the same axis as Freedom Place, runs southward from 64th Street to 59th Street, where the historic, full-block IRT Powerhouse and Riverside Center building are located. Adjacent to the Powerhouse, and visible from Freedom Place South, is a new tetrahedron-shaped building at 625 West 57th Street, also known as VIA 57 West.

Night Moves (album)

Night Moves is the ninth studio album by American rock singer-songwriter Bob Seger, and his first studio album to credit the Silver Bullet Band. The album was released by Capitol Records on October 22, 1976. Although the front cover only credits backing by the Silver Bullet Band, four of the nine songs on the album feature backing by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.

The album was well received by critics, and brought Bob Seger nationwide success. Three singles were released from the album; two of them made the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album became Seger's second to become certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and was his first to be certified platinum by the same association. It later achieved a certification of 6x platinum from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Reception
Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote that the riffs on Night Moves are classic rock and roll riffs, like those performed by Chuck Berry or the Rolling Stones, and that the album is about rock and roll for those who are no longer in their teens, like the song "Rock and Roll Never Forgets". The Rolling Stone review of the album by Kit Rachlis stated that the album is one of the best to come out of 1976–77, that Seger sounds like Rod Stewart and writes lyrics like Bruce Springsteen, and that the album is classic rock and roll. The only problem that Rachlis had with the album was the production not being strong enough. A later review of the album by Stephen Thomas Erlewine for AllMusic says that the album was very similar to Beautiful Loser (1975), but Night Moves is harder than Beautiful Loser. Erlewine also feels that the album has a wide range of styles and has not lost any of its influence years later.

Cash Box said that "'Ship of Fools' might turn into a classic rocker."

Classic Rock History critic Janey Roberts ranked 4 songs from Night Moves among Seger's 20 greatest – the three singles plus "Come to Poppa".

Tom Penny

Tom Penny (born 13 April 1977) is a professional skateboarder from Abingdon, United Kingdom (UK). As of January 2013, Penny is sponsored by the Flip skateboard deck brand and his Cheech & Chong signature deck is one of the brand's highest-selling deck products.

Early life
Penny was born in Abingdon, England, UK and grew up skateboarding in Oxford, England, UK. He attended the Dragon School. Penny has described his early years skateboarding in Oxford:

When I first started skateboarding in Oxford, England, there were not so many skateboarders—there were just a few skateboarders that I grew up with. There were no magazines, no skate shop, and we had no vision of the outside world of skateboarding; so, people who influenced me when I was younger, growing up, would be the friends that I grew up skateboarding with: Justin Parker, Erin Chalice, Pete Crucioli and Thomas Kilpatrick.

Professional skateboarding
Penny was spotted by Oxford local pro and SS20 co-owner Sean Goff and added to the SS20 shop team. He quickly gained coverage in UK skate magazines, including RAD and Skateboard!, and was featured in videos such as Rollersnakes 540 and 720.

Deathbox
Following the initial coverage that Penny received, he was soon added to the Deathbox Skateboards team by owner Jeremy Fox (Deathbox was later merged with Bash Skateboards and was re-branded as "Flip"). In 1993 Penny appeared in the inaugural Flip video The Long Overdue, alongside Geoff Rowley, Alex Moul, Andy Scott and Rune Glifberg—the video was made by Goff.

In 1993 Penny made his first international video appearance in 411VM's "Issue 2" and was featured in a "Wheels of Fortune" segment—Penny was 16 years of age and the segment features footage from the Radlands Skatepark in Northampton, UK. At the age of 16 years, Penny was sponsored by Flip, Independent, Droors, Union and SS20.

United States relocation
In late 1994, Flip left UK shores and relocated to Huntington Beach, California, US, the "heart" of world skateboarding. Along with other team members, Rowley, Scott and Glifberg, Penny exerted a significant impact on the skateboarding sub-culture with his small part in the Flip industry section in 411VM's "Issue 11"; his switch frontside flip at the Carlsbad Gap; and a five-trick downhill run that ended in a backside tailslide on a nine-stair handrail. By the end of 1995, Penny had received acclaim from notable professional skateboarders, such as Tony Hawk.

During his time in the US, Penny released video parts in the mid-1990s, such as Etnies' Hi-Five, Transworld Skateboarding's Uno, TSA's Life in the Fast Lane, Balance in the World of Chaos and Dope Clothing's Time for Tea. During this period, Penny also received his first cover photograph for Transworld, in which he is performing a frontside bluntslide in Huntington Beach. Skin Phillips, Transworld's former editor-in-chief, stated: "The other thing with Tom and really all the Flip guys when they came over was that they were absolutely unfazed by contests or demos. That’s just what they grew up skating."

During the early 2000s, Penny reappeared in Flip's videos, Sorry, Really Sorry and Extremely Sorry.

In 2023, Penny was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame, which is in the U.S.

Sponsors
As of 2021, Penny is sponsored by:

 * Flip Skateboards
 * éS Footwear
 * Ghetto Child Wheels
 * Mosaic Bearings

Skateboarding influences
In a 2012 interview, Penny identified the five skateboarders that have been the most influential throughout his career: Daewon Song, Rodney Mullen, Danny Way, Chad Muska and Steve Caballero. He also acknowledged contemporary influences, such as Quim Cardona, Paulo Diaz and Sean Sheffey—"People that are slightly interesting; make it more fun; make it more enjoyable; more original skateboarders; stylish skateboarders".

Influence
Professional skateboarder Chad Muska, has explained his experience of skateboarding with Tom Penny in the 1990s:

That was pretty much the craziest part of it all. It was almost like he didn't know he was doing anything special. None of it was conscious. Nothing he's done has been conscious [laughs]. It's just all-natural. His whole life is like that ... Anywhere you went he would just bust something—no cameras, nothing. None of it was ever planned in any way. It was never like, "I'm gonna do this and I'll get this cover and be a superstar." It was just, "Oh, there's an obstacle in front of me and I want to do this down it." Boom. "I'm just doing it."

Geoff Rowley and Andrew Reynolds are two other professional skateboarders (both are also company owners) who have also publicly praised Penny and Reynolds has described the filming of Penny's footage for the Etnies High Five video:

Oh man. The switch flip. It’s unexplainable. That whole thing is just like the Penny package. It’s like a display. Not many people have got kickflip, frontside flip, switch frontside flip, and switch flip all looking exactly the same. It wasn’t even really that common to do tricks over handrails at that point. He just killed it.

In December 2011, Penny was identified as the twenty-first most influential skateboarder of all time by Transworld Skateboarding magazine; however, Phillips had first revealed his perspective on Penny in 2009:

That was just sort of the way Penny was. He was nonchalant. He sort of didn’t realise—I don’t think he’s ever realised the impact he’s had on skateboarding. He never thought about it. Everything was just natural. Were his lines thought out before? Probably to an extent based on what he’d been doing in practice. But none of it was premeditated like, "Right, I’m gonna do this here, then hit the hip, then hit the pyramid". It was just flow.

Transworld then introduced Penny's 2012 interview for the "Most Influential" series with the following blurb: "Tom Penny changed everything that came before him. Tom’s technique, on any terrain, was so fluid and nonchalant that within six months of his arrival on US soil back in '94, every pro on the planet wanted to skate like him."

In July 2013, professional skateboarder Paul Rodriguez identified Penny in his "top ten" list of professional skateboarders, explaining that "Tom to me was like a mythical figure ... To me his style was my favorite in skateboarding just the way moves, the way he did his tricks, it looked so lazy and so buttery."

Contest history
Penny made his debut at the 1993 UK Championships Contest at Radlands, where he came 3rd—US skateboarder, Willy Santos, won the contest.

Penny returned to Radlands in 1994 for the UK Championships and finished in 6th place; US contestant, Mike Santarossa, won the contest.

Penny won the 1995 Radlands UK Championships Contest, which had evolved into one of the world's biggest contests. Penny beat over 100 other competitors, including over 75 US professionals, including Ray Barbee, Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Andrew Reynolds, Ed Templeton, Eric Koston, Phil Shao (now deceased) and Jamie Thomas.

The Capital Governorate (محافظة العاصمة) is one of the four governorates of Bahrain. The governorate includes Manama, the capital of Bahrain. It is the most populous administrative region in the country, with a population of over half million people in 2020.

Formation
The Capital Governorate was formed by royal decree on 3 July 2002. The present governorate incorporates the municipalities of Al Manamah, Jid Ali, Ras Rumman and parts of Jidd Haffs.

Demographics
According to a census conducted in 2010, there are 329,510 people living in the Capital Governorate, which is the highest of the four governorates; 261,921 non-Bahraini citizens and 67,589 Bahraini nationals.

Muharraq Governorate

The Muharraq Governorate (محافظة المحرق) is one of the four governorates of Bahrain. It is now co-extensive with the municipality of Al Muharraq and with Muharraq Island together with outlying islets. It includes the former municipality of Al Hadd at the southern end of that island.

The centre of Muharraq contains some of the oldest residential properties in the Kingdom, many of which have been rented out by their Bahraini owners to expatriate workers. There are also many buildings of historic interest in the town's crowded lanes, including the Shaikh Isa bin Ali House, Siyadi House, the wind towers, the infamous Falcon Statue and the neighbourhood of journalist Abdullah Al Zayed House, as well as the impressive Arad Fort.

The government has been accused on not putting enough money into the restoration of these historic sites to turn them into tourist attractions. The head of Salafist Asalah party, Ghanim Al Buaneen, responded to news that the government was to invest BD5 million into protecting these sites by dismissing the amount as too little and said the island needed between BD50 million and BD100 million for the facelift of entire old areas. Al-Menbar Islamic Society MP Dr Ali Ahmed said the effort to preserve Bahrain's traditions had not been a success story due to the government's poor planning and the public unawareness about the initiatives.

Local councillor Majeed Karimi came to international prominence in 2005 when his spearheaded Islamist party, Al Wefaq's campaign decided to ban lingerie mannequins, blaming them for rising divorce rates in the area. While Al-Menbar Islamic Society local councillor, Saleh Al Jowder, launched his bid for a parliamentary seat in 2006's election by announcing that the council would deal with complaints about peeping toms by fitting all multistorey buildings with one way glass so that residents cannot see out.

Muharraq island is also the site of Bahrain International Airport, although the local Asalah MP has called for it to be relocated because the sound of aeroplanes landing and taking off has disturbed local residents.

Stranger in Town (album)

Stranger in Town is the tenth studio album by American rock singer Bob Seger and his second with the Silver Bullet Band, released by Capitol Records in May 1978. As with its predecessor, the Silver Bullet Band backed Seger on about half of the songs and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section backed Seger on the other half.

The album became an instant success in the United States, being certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) less than a month after the album's release, and, like its predecessor Night Moves, it would later go 6× Platinum. It was also his first album to chart in the UK, where limited editions were released on silver vinyl and in picture disc format as well as standard black vinyl.

Critical reception
The New York Times wrote that, "while [the album] reaffirms that Mr. Seger is a fine rock singer and a sometimes sensitive songwriter, it also suggests that his gifts aren't so varied or consistent as they might be."

Actually Brandye was not the group that sung backup on Old Time Rock and Roll. They sang backup on Track 2, with Clydie King, Venetta Fields, and Sherlie Matthews, and track 8. Clydie, Venetta, and Sherlie sung backup on Track 2 and 7. TheGreatestLuvofAll ( chat with me ) 07:26, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
