Removal
Earlier today I removed the line that said

 * "Vacant warehouses were an often used location in the late 1980s and early to mid 1990's for illegal raves."

I got reverted quite harshly. Sorry if I offended anyone.

My reasons to remove the line:

 * 1) Vacant warehouses have been used for illegal activities of all sorts, as have vacant buildings of all types.  I don't see that this is a particularly notable aspect of warehouses in particular.
 * 2) The sentence seemed vague to me, and didn't come with a reference, which would have allowed the topic to be expanded.

I won't take it out again, since Alkivar seems quite determined to keep it in. --Dbenbenn 02:41, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I modified that line, because while it may be true, it serves no purpose to add that people party in abandoned warehouses. Are we next going to say "After dark, some parks are used for selling drugs or prostitution..."? I am going to have to side with the statement from Dbenbenn in December 2004- Illegal activities have taken place in a variety of vacant buildings, but that doesn't mean it needs to be included in an education tool such as this.

I'm still new at editing this, but the 'Automated storage and retrieval' link goes to 'Crane (machine)'. Shouldn't it go to 'Pick_and_Pack' instead? Karanne (talk) 16:05, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Origination of Warehousing
To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Dave and I will be hosting an inventory training session for people in our inventory group. I am planning on discussion the origination of warehousing and sedgeway into warehousing today. I am having a difficult time finding info on where warehousing first originated. My guess would be Babylonions, Egyptians and the like... any details or facts would be appreciated.

Dave00155 23:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

How is this useful to a global readership? We don't even know where Dave is! Why was this put here? Karanne (talk) 16:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Definition of a Warehouse
The page defines a warehouse as "a commercial building for the storage of goods. I would argue that a warehouse is any point where materials are stored, changed forms (bulk-breaking), or reconfigured for distribution. Examples of not so traditional warehouses could be a field that stores hay bales as well as the hayloft of a barn that stores hay. While the barn may be a commercial building, the field is definitely not, but it still serves as a warehouse. An empty lot serves as a warehouse for a junkyard, a pantry serves as a warehouse for a household kitchen, and a vehicle trunk can serve as a warehouse for travelers on a road trip.

"A commercial building for the storage of goods" is a static definition that is fast becoming outdated. I argue that we should work to develop a more dynamic definition of a warehouse to more fully encompass the many examples of a warehouse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew John MacDonald (talk • contribs) 02:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

wharehouse
please put some important information on wharehouse. like history, meaning and types... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.74.126.103 (talk) 03:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

wharehouse ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saravanan51172 (talk • contribs) 04:32, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

storehouse redirect
Most people using the term storehouse will be looking for Storehouse PLC, yet it is a redirect to 'Warehouse', storehouse in this contect is terminology I have never heard of, I shall change the redirect to a disambag' page. Mtaylor848 (talk) 18:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Warehouse and Stores
What is diffence between warehouse and stores? Where the warehouse applicable and where the stores applicable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.97.63.120 (talk) 07:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a discussion about the article and not about the topic. I suggest you ask this at the reference desk Ro bin  15:38, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Cold storage info needs further review
This large edit was obviously copied from somewhere else. While it was cleaned up significantly, it could use some further review in case there are copyright problems and to determine which of the external links were meant to be references. --Ronz (talk) 16:26, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Warehouse functions
Apologies for leaving the text so Manchester specific- but it is a good example of all types. I was just passing through looking for a link and saw the sad state of the article I needed. So I did a 5 min edit. Ideally, there would be a history section, and a discussion of historic function-- yes still a lot of work.--ClemRutter (talk) 19:07, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Warenhäuser
I have been unable to turn up any indication that the German word Warenhaus ("department store") is in any way related to the English word "warehouse", except that the two elements in each word happen to be cognate. I rather think that's a load of rubbish that someone has put in the article. The writer's mistake in rendering the plural form -- it is Warenhäuser, not Warenhausen -- makes me wonder all the more what he knows about German. Kelisi (talk) 21:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I see your problem in finding a reference- Duden is no help- and saying- spoken with pride by my octogenarian host while staying in D-Eller in 1978 is not easily verifiable. The intermediate stage is found in  whereby what we refer to as Lancashire cotton, is referred to then and now elsewhere as Manchester goods, and the shop as a Manchester goods warehouse- shortened to a Manchester Warehouse- in NSW one store with a web presence is The Manchester Warehouse.
 * I haven't mentioned this (see section above) as I don't want the article to become too Manchester Centric. However I would see the strong presence of Solomon Behrens and the other prominent German trading families in Manchester as a root to investigate while looking for the source. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 08:16, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Unreferenced and US specific
In the last year I haven't seen any added reference or removal of un-cited material. Many unreferenced sections are US specific. images are still present that are pretty but don't illustrate any of the points in the text. What is a sust- because we have a picture of one? Shall I help out by deleting all this material or would someone like to add the references per MOS.-- Clem Rutter (talk) 13:40, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The photo-fest has continued- and now we have added material about manufacturing facilities- totally off focus- if anyone wants to defend the material I am about to remove please comment here and give notable references. -- Clem Rutter (talk) 11:53, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

History Expansion Needed
I've expanded the history section quite significantly. In my view, it still doesn't cover anything close to what it needs to. I've expanded a little on Roman and medieval warehouses, but I imagine the most important developments took place in the 19th and 20th centuries. That's outside my area of expertise, but I'm sure visitors would appreciate anyone having a go at filling it in. Curzmg (talk) 04:39, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Structure and Links Review Needed?
As someone who only recently arrived at this article, the structure and choice of sections seems wholly illogical to me.

I don't mean to be cynical, but it actually seems as though some sections have been added with the intention of providing backlinks to commercial organisations. To me the following make sense:

History | Warehouse function | Storage and shipping systems | Modern trends

It also looks like 'Cool warehouses and cold storage' should be moved into 'Warehouse function', and 'Automation and optimization' into 'Modern trends' to better fit the current structure. The 'Warehousing education' section seems out of place. You could include an education sector in almost any article on this site, but I've rarely seen it before. It also focuses on and links to particular organisations, failing to discuss the broader issues of warehouse education.

On the links front, I included one semi-commercial link myself: "A History of the Warehouse", Action Storage. The page looks like it could be genuinely useful to readers, as well as including solid academic references. I also relied on the source to help write the history section. However, I'm doubting the value of a few references. Why are there two links to 'Pallet Racking Systems Ltd'? Especially when the linked pages provide very little additional information and there's already a complete Wiki page on mezzanines. "Automated Warehouses". Boss Fulfillment. and "Installation Guide for Warehouse Rack Systems" also seem very dubious to me - neither serves as an especially illuminating source on the topics they're cited for.

I'm not going to change anything for the moment, as it's probably best to discuss these issues first. However, it seems like this could be quite an important article for some, but the quality of material and references is currently relatively low. Curzmg (talk) 05:08, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

"A warehouse is a building"
A warehouse is an industrial, not a commercial, building, in the United States, UK, Canada, and Australia. Are there any reliable sources that classify "warehouse" as "commercial" and not "industrial?" I struck the word "commercial" from the lead, but another editor reverted and asked to take it to the talk page, because the industrial categorization is a too narrow modern view. But the modern view is the one we should adopt, as this article is called "Warehouse" and not "History of the warehouse." The industrial revolution only happened a couple hundred years ago, so it makes senses that classifying "warehouse" as "industrial" would be a modern notion. Wikipedia is also a modern notion. We should strike "commercial" from the lead because it's not accurate and not supported by reliable sources. Levivich (talk) 00:48, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for coming back. The difference is minor, and before I substantially added to the article a few years ago I was of the same opinion. There is no doubt that for a hundred years, all new warehouses were industrial boxes where goods wee stored but 'storage warehouses' is only part of the story. The article explains different types, but just to test your hypothesis that this is merely an historical phenonemon I did a googled 'Trading Warehouses' and found BBC Article in August which is fairly conclusive that modern warehouse construction is about providing more commercial buildings. I'll add the reference to the article. ClemRutter (talk) 09:42, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Double checking your references, I found the definition you are looking for Industrial property is one of the three main asset classes of commercial property. All your references say something similar. Double checking the article, there are swathes of text that I left untouched when I last edited here, that still need further analysis and references. Theres a project! ClemRutter (talk) 10:02, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for providing the link to the BBC article. I disagree that it supports the statement, "A warehouse is a commercial building." The word "commercial" does not appear in that article at all. The article is about a CBRE report, and the CBRE person quoted in the article is Andre Martson, "who researches UK industrial and logistics property at CBRE, which compiled the figures for the BBC" (bold added). If anything, the BBC article seems to support, rather than contradict, the contention that warehouses are considered industrial, not commercial, properties. To take this article that talks about stores moving into warehouses, and use it to support the statement "A warehouse is a commercial building," is WP:SYNTH.
 * In some countries, such as the UK and Australia, "industrial" is a subcategory of "commercial." That doesn't mean "a warehouse is a commercial building." Saying that, without an explicit RS saying it, is also WP:SYNTH. The same source I linked to that says, "There are three main types of commercial property: retail, office and industrial" also says "Small industrial sites include single or double-storey buildings zoned for industrial use. These often have flexible interior space, usually a mix of warehouse and office space" and "Large industrial properties include medium to large warehouses and factories that are designed to manufacture or store goods." Heck, the article is called "Industrial property: what is it?"
 * I'm challenging "A warehouse is a commercial building" and I think that unless an inline citation can be provided that says explicitly that a warehouse is a "commercial building" (and not just "a building" or an "industrial building"), we cannot use the word "commercial" in the lead, per WP:INLINE. I'm not saying we have to use the word "industrial" either (although we should), but we can't use the word "commercial."
 * I know it may seem like a small thing, a new editor nitpicking about a single word in the lead of an article, but please consider this:
 * This article was born in 2004; it initially only said this, unsourced: A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transporters, customs, etc.
 * When I Google the phrase, "A warehouse is a commercial building", limiting results to before 2004 only, there are 8 results (on the entire internet!)
 * When I Google the same phrase, this time including results since 2004, there are 28,000 results. It's not just WP clone sites that have this copy of the WP language, it also appears in:
 * this company's course materials ("A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods...Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc.")
 * this company's letter from the General Manager ("A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc.")
 * this image gallery ("A warehouse is a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc.")
 * This is the power of Wikipedia. This is an example of how something gets written on Wikipedia and then propagates out through the world, even if it's incorrect and not otherwise supported. That's why WP:V is so important. We shouldn't say things that aren't supported by reliable sources. It seems to me that the notion that "a warehouse is a commercial building" is a notion that was invented on Wikipedia. Let's end that and re-align this article with reliable sources.
 * Towards the end, I am adding two sources for "A warehouse is a building" (without specifying commercial or industrial), and removing the word "commercial" from the lead, until and unless we have RSes saying "A warehouse is a commercial building." WP:V and WP:INLINE seems to demand this, and no sources supporting "A warehouse is a commercial building" have been put forward yet.
 * On a related note, the "types" section seems to be based entirely on Manchester, England sources. I will add additional sources to that section, along with something about the categorization of warehouses, probably later today. Cheers! Levivich (talk) 20:53, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Update: I made the above changes, and several others, including adding a bunch of sources. I hope you agree it's an improvement! Levivich (talk) 22:55, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for staying involved. I really haven't the time at the moment needed to do this justice- but I will try to get back to you soon. Wikipedia doesn't normally reference the lede- as it will be a synopsis of the rest of the article. It is better to start by looking at the structure and the individual sections. There are clues in this talk page of work that still needed to be done. I'll try and explain tomorrow why the concept of warehouse as a storage shed is way to narrow. Yes, a lot is Manchester centric as thats where the work was done- but it has to be opened up.ClemRutter (talk) 01:40, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

"Fulfilment Logistics" listed at Redirects for discussion

The whole third paragraph here needs a rewrite, I think. It looks like someone has just pulled directly from the linked article without editing it for Wikipedia. 217.113.162.175 (talk) 04:44, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Melberger Award

The Melberger Award was given annually to an outstanding U.S. college football player in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The award was named after Clifford Melberger, a captain of the 1960 Bucknell University football team, and is presented by Diversified Information Technologies, which Mr. Melberger leads as president.

The Melberger had been one of two awards given to Division III football players, the other being the better-known Gagliardi Trophy. The focus of the two awards has historically been slightly different. The Gagliardi factors in community service, academics, and athletics; the Melberger is, at least theoretically, presented to the best athlete. In recent years the Melberger has fallen into disfavor due to poor publicity and coordination by the firm which now sponsors the award. From the period 2002–2004, the award was given not to the nation's most outstanding Division III football players, but to the player in the local region who could attend (at their own cost) the awards ceremony in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. This resulted in the award being given to players who would often struggle to make an all-region team, let alone be named the best player in the country. Prior to 2002, the Melberger Award was funded and supported by the Downtown Wilkes-Barre Touchdown Club. The award was last given in 2011.

Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality

Les Chenaux (meaning the channels in French) is a regional county municipality in central Quebec, Canada, in the Mauricie region. The seat is in Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes. It is located adjacent on the east of Trois-Rivières on the Saint Lawrence River. It has a land area of 872.04 km2 and a population of 17,865 inhabitants in the Canada 2011 Census. Its largest community is the parish of Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel.

Les Chenaux is one of the few regional county municipalities in Quebec that does not constitute its own census division; instead, it is grouped with Trois-Rivières as the single census division of Francheville.

Geography
The "Les Chenaux" RCM is an area east of Trois-Rivières, located between the villages of Champlain and Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade on north shore of St. Lawrence River. The MRC is approximately 40 km in length to about 20 kilometers in depth. The territory is crossed by three rivers flowing from north to south: Champlain River, Batiscan River and Sainte-Anne River.

History
The RCM was created in 2002, when the area was realigned to make way for the amalgamations of nearby Trois-Rivières and Shawinigan. All of the municipalities, except for Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel (which came from Centre-de-la-Mauricie RCM), used to belong to the former Francheville Regional County Municipality. This RCM was dissolved when six of its municipalities amalgamated with the city of Trois-Rivières, and Saint-Étienne-des-Grès was added to the Maskinongé RCM. The remaining municipalities were grouped into a new regional county called Les Chenaux.

Subdivisions
There are 10 subdivisions within the RCM:

 * Municipalities (6)
 * Batiscan
 * Champlain
 * Saint-Luc-de-Vincennes
 * Saint-Prosper-de-Champlain
 * Saint-Stanislas
 * Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade

 * Parishes (4)
 * Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel
 * Saint-Maurice
 * Saint-Narcisse
 * Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan

Access routes
Highways and numbered routes that run through the municipality, including external routes that start or finish at the county border:

 * Autoroutes

 * Principal Highways

 * Secondary Highways

 * External Routes
 * None

Brazilian advisory rating system

The Brazilian Advisory Rating (Classificação Indicativa, abbreviated ClassInd) is a content rating system for the classification of movies, games and television programs. The ClassInd rating system is controlled by the Advisory Rating Coordination (Coordenação de Classificação Indicativa) of the Department of Justice Policies (Departamento de Políticas de Justiça). It is established on the National Secretariat of Justice (Secretaria Nacional de Justiça) of the Ministry of Justice.

Staff
The staff consists of about 30 people, including raters and the administrative staff, having passed public service exams, with various academic backgrounds. These content rating analysts undergo continuous training, and never affix a rating individually. All works are watched by at least two analysts separately and if there is no consensus, the analysis group is broadened.

Analyses and criteria
The criteria that guide the public policy of the content rating are supported under 3 broad themes—sex, drugs, and violence—content considered inappropriate to the upbringing of children and adolescents. The analysis is made counterbalancing the frequency, relevance, context, intensity and importance to the plot of scenes, dialogues and images containing violence, drug use and sex/nudity. This margin of subjectivity ensures flexibilities that are critical to the process and the rating result. The analyses consist of three steps: factual description, thematic description and age grading. When the process is finished, it is subjected to the coordination, and finally to the director of the department, who makes the order for publication on the Brazilian Official Journal, along with small content descriptors. The criteria for rating the works were developed taking into account national and international studies and public hearings in all regions across Brazil, including public debates, both face-to-face and online.

Aiming to provide an instrument for the choice of the family, the Practical Guide was created, which claims to bring transparency and objectivity to the public policy of the content rating, showing detailed analysis criteria, subdivided by age groups. They can serve broadcasters, producers and distributors of movies and games and also families and society in general.

The objectivity of the analysis departs from moral considerations and moralistic views. The Ministry of Justice specifically cited that sexual orientation does not aggravate the rating and that, in fact, showing material of respect and encouragement to diversity can attenuate the rating. They also specified that their job is to give an advisory rating for parents, therefore, they do not have any legal right to ban, demand cuts or refuse to rate any work.

Films and television programs
People under the minimum age indicated by the rating can watch the movie if accompanied by an adult guardian or if they are carrying a consent form, except for 18-rated movies on the cinemas. Movies rated 18 are legally restricted to persons aged 16 and over, and those aged 16 and 17 should be accompanied by an adult guardian. Films for cinema and DVD/Blu-ray releases are previously rated by the ClassInd. TV programs are rated by their own broadcasters and therefore the rating can be accepted or denied if considered inappropriate. Ratings assigned by the broadcaster mirror those assigned by DEJUS, but are preceded by the letter "A".

Video games
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) system was de facto adopted by some Brazilian distributors, consequence of working with North American publishers, and was not translated from English or adapted to the Brazilian culture, being inappropriate for the Brazilian market and leaving most consumers uninformed. It was introduced by Senator José Gregori, that the growing game market in Brazil needed bigger control over the countless games sold in the country every day.

Since 2001, games are rated in Brazil by the Department of Justice, Rating, Titles and Qualification, part of the Ministry of Justice.

The ClassInd rating system is the same for games, films and television programs. Rating is mandatory for all games released in Brazil. However, after becoming a member of the International Age Rating Coalition in 2013, it became easier for digitally distributed games to receive a ClassInd rating.

Rating ranges
NOTE: There are also operational descriptions of attenuating and aggravating elements, such as scene composition, relevance, frequency, motivation, among others, that can interfere on the final rating.

Content descriptors
Information on the rating system includes content descriptors which are a summary of the main rating indicators inserted in the work rated. The list of descriptors explains the rating system and also informs parents and guardians about the type of content that the work contains. For instance, a work rated as "10 years old" and with the descriptor "Violence" will contain light violent scenes, while a work rated as "16 years old" and the same descriptor will show stronger violent scenes. Below is a list of the fifteen terms used in the rating system:

 * 1) Violência (Violence);
 * 2) Violência Extrema (Extreme Violence);
 * 3) Conteúdo Sexual (Sexual Content);
 * 4) Nudez (Nudity);
 * 5) Sexo (Sex);
 * 6) Sexo Explícito (Explicit Sex);
 * 7) Drogas (Drugs);
 * 8) Drogas Lícitas (Legal Drugs);
 * 9) Drogas Ilícitas (Illegal Drugs);
 * 10) Linguagem Imprópria (Inappropriate Language);
 * 11) Atos Criminosos (Criminal Acts);
 * 12) Conteúdo Impactante (Shocking Content);
 * 13) Temas Sensíveis (Sensitive Themes);
 * 14) Procedimentos Médicos (Medical Procedures);
 * 15) Medo (Fear).

Requesting a rating
In order to request a Qualification Rating, one will have to provide a documentation (in a Portuguese-language form) which explains why a media (game/TV show, etc.) is recommended or not to a certain rating. A preview of that media is also compulsory to avoid mistakes during media verification.

The document will have to be sent to the Department of Justice, Rating, Titles and Qualification. There's no fee to get the rating and the process from the documents reception to the official rating can take about 20 days.

Hi Rainer21, feel invited to write your own biography of Barbara Lawton, and make it encyclopaedic! This is easier than you might think, even if you're one of her supporters. Just have a look at other biographies here at Wikipedia, avoid any enthusiasm, call her Lawton rather than Barbara, and you're on the right track!

People usually feel much better after having finished their own piece of writing. Have a go! All the best,  02:49, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)

Bulgarian Football Union

The Bulgarian Football Union (Български футболен съюз BFS) is the governing body of association football in Bulgaria, and a member of UEFA since 1954. It organizes a football league, Bulgarian Parva Liga, and fields its Bulgaria national football team in UEFA and FIFA-authorised competitions.

History
A legal entity that it claims descent from was founded in 1923 as the football department of the Bulgarian National Sports Federation, which existed until the Soviet invasion of 1944. The football governing body was then known as the Central Football Committee until 1948, the Republican Section for Football from 1948 until 1962 and the Bulgarian Football Federation from 1962 until 1985. On 27 June 1985, the organization was renamed the Bulgarian Football Union, the name that it carries today.

Resentment against Mihaylov (2015-2024)
Borislav Mihaylov became president of the union in 2004. The results of the national team and leading clubs in the country gradually started to decline in the following years, particularly after UEFA Euro 2004 and fans wanted Mihaylov to leave. On 15 October 2019, after long resentments because of the bad results of the national team and lowering of club level football, coupled with a scandal with the national team in the match against England, which involved racist chants from a group of Bulgarian fans aimed at English players. Following this incident, the sports minister announced that they will not work with the BFU until Mihaylov is in charge. After the England game, Mihaylov resigned. Mihail Kasabov become an interim president, but due to the Covid 19 pandemic, there was not a regular vote for Mihaylov to resign.

In 2021, to the surprise of many, Mihaylov announced he withdraws his resignation and will be joining the elections for a 5th mandate in 2021. At this point Dimitar Berbatov become a huge opposition of Mihaylov and also joined the elections. On 12 October 2021, Mihaylov won the elections despite the fact few voting violations were noted. In March 2023 the city count dropped lawsuits against Congressional decisions and Mihaylov was confirmed as the president, despite the fact that a few football clubs were kicked out from the vote, because they showed support for Berbatov.

In October 2023, football fans started a stronger resentment, having a transperants against Mihaylov on every match. As an answer, BFU started to punish clubs for almost every match. The football fans announced they will have a big resentment, uniting ultras from every big football club in the country for the match against Hungary on 16 November 2023. In response of that, BFU and UEFA announced on 6 November that the match will be moved from National stadium to Hristo Botev Stadium in Plovdiv and will be behind closed doors. This decision was taken even harder as for first time a football union don't want his own fans on the stadium. The resentment was forseen to move in Plovdiv outside the stadium. The Hungarians were also not happy with the decision for playing under closed doors and the fans announced they will still go for the match and join the protest against BFU.

On March 17th 2024 Georgi Ivanov was elected president.

Competitions
It organizes the following competitions:
 * Men's football:
 * First League, 1st level
 * Second League, 2nd level
 * Third League (4 divisions), 3rd level

Isa Air Base

Isa Air Base (IAB), formerly known as Shaikh Isa Air Base, is located on the island nation of Bahrain. Isa Air Base is located on the shore of the Persian Gulf in southern Bahrain.

It hosts the Royal Bahraini Air Force (RBAF) Fighter Wing and the two squadrons that comprise it.

History
During the first Gulf War, some of the Coalition forces, having trouble with the Arab pronunciation, knew the base under the name "Shakey's Pizza".

The base is home to the RBAF's 1st Fighter Wing:

 * 1st Fighter Squadron – Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon C/D Block 40
 * 2nd Fighter Squadron – F-16C/D Block 40
 * 6th Fighter Squadron – Northrop F-5E/F
 * 5th Squadron – British Aerospace Hawk
 * 4th Squadron – Slingsby T-67 Firefly

United States
In March 2009, the United States Air Force established a camp on Isa Air Base to support aerial port operations. The unit was designated a detachment of the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing of Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. This detachment's purpose was to accelerate the delivery of mine-resistant ambush-protected all-terrain vehicles to U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

As part of its operations against ISIL, the United States has deployed various aircraft there.

As of August 27, 2020, KBR is in charge of base operations support services at Isa Air Base.

Gwyniad

The gwyniad (Coregonus pennantii) is a freshwater whitefish native to Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) in northern Wales.

The population is threatened by deteriorating water quality and by the ruffe, a fish introduced to the lake in the 1980s and now eating the eggs and fry of gwyniad. As a conservation measure, eggs of gwyniad were transferred to Llyn Arenig Fawr, a nearby reservoir, between 2003 and 2007.

The taxonomy of the genus Coregonus is disputed; some authorities assign the gwyniad to the common whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus), and a morphological review in 2012 was unable to find any solid evidence for recognizing the gwyniad as a separate species. FishBase and the IUCN list it as a distinct species, C. pennantii.

1857 Fort Tejon earthquake

The 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake occurred at about 8:20 a.m. (Pacific time) on January 9 in central and Southern California. One of the largest recorded earthquakes in the United States, with an estimated moment magnitude of 7.9, it ruptured the southern part of the San Andreas Fault for a length of about 225 miles (350 km), between Parkfield and Wrightwood.

Although the epicenter or starting location of the earthquake was near Parkfield, the event is referred to as the Fort Tejon earthquake, because that was the location of the greatest damage. Fort Tejon is just north of the junction of the San Andreas and Garlock Faults, where the Tehachapi, San Emigdio, and Sierra Pelona Transverse Ranges come together.

The earthquake is the most recent large event to occur along that portion of the San Andreas Fault, and is estimated to have had a maximum perceived intensity of IX (Violent) on the Modified Mercalli scale (MMI) near Fort Tejon in the Tehachapi Mountains, and along the San Andreas Fault from Mil Potrero (near Pine Mountain Club) in the San Emigdio Mountains to Lake Hughes in the Sierra Pelona Mountains. Accounts of the events' effects varied widely, including the time of the main shock as well as foreshocks that occurred at several locations earlier in the morning.

Tectonic setting
The 1857 earthquake ruptured about 350 km of the southern part of the San Andreas Fault, the structure that accommodates most of the displacement along the transform boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. The Pacific Plate is moving north relative to the Sierra Nevada-Great Valley Block of the North American Plate at about 38 mm per year. The displacement rate along the various sections that ruptured is 34 mm per year along the Parkfield, Cholame, Carrizo and Big Bend sections and 27 mm and 29 mm per year along the Mojave north and Mojave south sections. Paleoseismic studies have found evidence for many prehistoric earthquakes in the last 3,000 years on this part of the San Andreas Fault.

Earthquake
The earthquake ruptured a substantial portion of the southern San Andreas fault, but not the entire length. Thomas H. Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center, stated that the slip likely stopped in the area near Cajon Pass, perhaps because the tectonic stresses on that part of the fault had been released several decades earlier during the 1812 Wrightwood earthquake. The average slip along the fault was 4.5 m, and a maximum offset of 6 m was recorded in the Carrizo Plain area in southeastern San Luis Obispo County. With an estimated magnitude of 7.9, this was the last "Big One" in Southern California. The extreme southernmost portion of the San Andreas fault, which terminates near Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea, last ruptured in 1680.

Surface faulting may have extended beyond the boundaries of the regularly acknowledged slip length. Researchers recorded first and second-hand accounts of the ground crack, which was understood to be recent surface faulting and not just the topography of the existing rift. On the extreme northern end of the rupture zone, the surface cracking extended 80 km north of Cholame into San Benito County. On the southern end, the population centers were not as close to the fault, and early observers were probably limited to the stretch of the fault between Fort Tejon and Elizabeth Lake, as that was close to the Stockton – Los Angeles Road, the primary inland north−south route then.

Evidence of uprooted and displaced trees south of Elizabeth Lake indicates surface faulting along a mole track (an "array of en echelon primary Riedel shears with linking compressional rolls and minor thrusts") that ran directly under three Jeffrey Pines. Two of the three trees examined were tilted in their lower extremity, while the upper portions remained relatively untilted. Tree ring dating confirmed that the trees had originated 10 and 25 years before 1857 and also that the rings began to grow twice as thick on the side in the direction of the tilt. This is a frequently noted compensation of tree tilt. Seismologist Kerry Sieh determined that fault slip and the associated ground disturbance were the source of the mole track and subsequent tree tilt.

Foreshocks

Various accounts of the event indicate the presence of foreshocks between one and nine hours before the main event, and based on the (uncertain) distribution of those shocks, it is assumed that the beginning of the fault rupture (the epicenter) was in the area between Parkfield and Cholame, about 97 km northwest.

The lack of standardized timekeeping during this period of California's history contributed to some of the inaccurate reports of when the pre-shocks occurred. Local solar time was being used in 1857 and San Francisco would have been the locality with the most accurate time kept as it was a center of commerce and other activity. Standard time was not followed until the 1880s, with the Pacific Time Zone being aligned with the 120th meridian. The differences in local times were substantial, with San Francisco at 122.43 W and San Diego at 117.10 W, the difference between the two would be around 22 minutes (4 minutes per degree). At least one individual reported foreshock times that varied by as much as half an hour when speaking to two different newspapers.

The firsthand reports were most abundant for the shocks felt at 1, 2, and 4 hours before the main shock which were later labeled the predawn, dawn, and sunrise shocks. The predawn event shook residents of San Francisco (MMI II – III), San Jose (MMI IV), and Santa Cruz (MMI IV). The dawn shock was felt in those locales plus Fort Tejon and possibly the Carrizo Plain. The sunrise shock was felt in San Francisco (MMI III), Monterey (MMI IV), and Visalia (MMI II – III). Sacramento and Los Angeles did not report any of these events.

Several mid-twentieth-century earthquakes had similar felt reports to the dawn and sunrise shocks, and with close inspection, Sieh theorizes that both events were local to coastal central California, probably between Point Conception and Monterey. Also, during that period, no central California earthquake with a magnitude of less than five had a felt area as large as the two foreshocks, while events larger than magnitude six have had "somewhat larger" felt areas, so it could be said that the foreshocks most likely were between magnitude five and six.

Parkfield earthquakes occurred with exceptionally regular intervals (between 20 and 30 years) between 1857 and 1966. Sieh studied four of these events (1901, 1922, 1934, and 1966) and found that they helped to determine the southeast boundary for the origination of the dawn foreshock. The coverage and intensities of felt reports for that earthquake show a solid resemblance to the Parkfield events. Only one of the four Parkfield events was not felt further southeast than the dawn shock, so Sieh concluded that if the San Andreas was the source of the event, then it was reasonable to assume that the Parkfield to Cholame stretch of the fault was responsible for producing the dawn felt intensities, though the San Andreas is not the only possible source for the dawn event. For example, the November 22, 1952, magnitude six Bryson earthquake "nearly duplicates" the felt reports. That event may have occurred west of the San Andreas on the Nacimiento fault, though the highest felt reports were along the Rinconada fault around 56 km southwest of the San Andreas.

Damage
Most of the adobe buildings at Fort Tejon were badly damaged and several people were injured there. More buildings were destroyed along a twenty-mile stretch between Fort Tejon and southeast to Elizabeth Lake, a sag pond that was formed directly on the San Andreas fault. Streams and springs experienced disturbances in San Diego and Santa Barbara Counties, while the Kern River, Kern Lake, and Los Angeles River all spilled over their banks. Farther north in Santa Clara County the flow of well water was affected. Ground cracks from liquefaction of swampy ground were observed near the Pueblo de Los Angeles and in the Oxnard Plain, and ground fissures were reported near the Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and Santa Clara Rivers.

Central and southern California were thinly populated at the time and this likely helped limit the damage from the earthquake, but the lack of people present also reduced the number of perspectives to use in determining intensity estimates. Areas with the highest population density like San Francisco, Stockton, and Los Angeles provided enough information about the effects of the earthquake to provide the best estimates of intensity. At downtown Los Angeles, with a maximum perceived intensity of VI, some homes and buildings were cracked, but no major damage was reported. In Ventura (MM VII) the roof of Mission San Buenaventura collapsed and the bell tower was damaged, and farther north, the front wall of the old adobe Mission Santa Cruz chapel collapsed. One of the two deaths reported included a woman who was killed by a collapsing adobe house in nearby Gorman, and an elderly man may have collapsed and died in the Los Angeles area as a result of the earthquake.

Aftershocks
The main shock was followed by a series of aftershocks that continued for at least 3.75 years, although the total number of large aftershocks was less than would be expected for an earthquake of this size. The four largest aftershocks all had magnitudes greater than 6, although there are large uncertainties in both location and magnitude due to the limited number of data points available. On the night of January 9 there was a large aftershock with an estimated magnitude of about 6.25, with a possible epicenter near the Garlock Fault. The largest aftershock occurred on the afternoon of January 16 with an estimated magnitude of about 6.7, with a possible offshore location, and high felt intensities in Southern California communities. Santa Barbara and San Bernardino reported an MM intensity of V and Los Angeles reported V and VI. Two significant events occurred in the San Bernardino area on December 15–16, 1858, with the latter having an estimated magnitude of about 6. The last recorded major aftershock occurred on April 16, 1860, with an estimated magnitude of about 6.3, with an epicenter close to the Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault.

Future threat
Scientists and public service officials have speculated on the threat of another very large earthquake occurring in southern California and what type and scale of damage might result. The portion of the fault that ruptured in 1857 has settled into a period of dormancy and this has given rise to suggestions that future slip along that zone may be characterized by a very large 1857-type event followed by another period of inactivity. The communities of Frazier Park, Palmdale, and Wrightwood are all located very close to the San Andreas fault, though much of the Los Angeles area could be affected even at a greater distance from the rupture area if a similar event were to reoccur there. Swaminathan Krishnan, assistant professor of civil engineering and geophysics at the California Institute of Technology, said that if a similar rupture from Parkfield to Wrightwood were to happen again, it would severely affect the Los Angeles area, with the San Fernando Valley being particularly hard hit.

The Los Angeles Aqueduct and California Aqueduct, two of the principal water transfer infrastructure systems supplying Greater Los Angeles, both cross the San Andreas fault within the main damage zone of the Fort Tejon earthquake, in the Tehachapi and Sierra Pelona Mountains.

Susan Cabot

Susan Cabot (born Harriet Pearl Shapiro; July 9, 1927 – December 10, 1986) was an American film, stage, and television actress. She rose to prominence for her roles in a variety of Western films, including Tomahawk (1951), The Duel at Silver Creek (1952), and Gunsmoke (1953).

After severing her contract with Universal Pictures in the mid-1950s, Cabot returned to performing in theater in New York. She subsequently returned to Hollywood in the later part of the decade, and appeared in a series of films by director Roger Corman, such as Sorority Girl (1957), War of the Satellites, and Machine-Gun Kelly (both 1958). She made her final film appearance in Corman's horror feature, The Wasp Woman (1959).

Cabot spent the following two decades largely in seclusion, though she did appear in off-Broadway theatre in the early 1960s, and made a 1970 television appearance on the series Bracken's World. By the 1980s, Cabot was suffering from severe mental illness, including depression, suicidal thoughts, and irrational phobias.

On December 10, 1986, Cabot's only child, 22-year-old Timothy Roman, bludgeoned her to death in their Los Angeles home with a weightlifting bar after Cabot purportedly awoke in a panicked state and attacked him. Roman, who had dwarfism and suffered pituitary gland problems, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, and was sentenced to three years' probation for his matricide.

1927–1946: Early life
Cabot was born Harriet Pearl Shapiro on July 9, 1927, to a Jewish family in Boston, Massachusetts. She led an early life filled with turmoil; after her father abandoned their family, Cabot's mother Elizabeth was institutionalized, leaving Cabot orphaned. She was subsequently raised in eight different foster homes, spending the majority of her early life in the New York City borough of the Bronx. It was posthumously revealed that, while in foster care, Cabot suffered emotional and sexual abuse, which triggered intense post-traumatic stress disorder.

Cabot attended high school in Manhattan, and found employment as an illustrator of children's books. She supplemented her income by working as a singer, performing at the Village Barn club in Manhattan. She married her first husband, the artist Martin Sacker, on July 30, 1944, in Washington, DC, while still a minor. Sacker was a childhood friend, and the marriage presented Cabot with an opportunity to leave foster care.

1947–1959: Acting career
Cabot made her film debut in Twentieth Century Fox's film noir Kiss of Death (1947), which was filmed in New York, playing a bit part as a restaurant patron. She was subsequently spotted performing at the Village Barn by a talent scout for Columbia Pictures, who cast her in On the Isle of Samoa (1950). This role led to further Hollywood roles, with Cabot signing a contract with Universal Pictures. Her first film with the studio was the 1951 Western Tomahawk. The same year, Cabot divorced her husband, Sacker, and was subsequently romantically linked with King Hussein of Jordan for several years.

Based on her performances in the On the Isle of Samoa and Tomahawk, Cabot appeared as a lead in a series of roles in similar Western and Arabian-themed films, such as The Battle at Apache Pass and The Duel at Silver Creek, and Son of Ali Baba (all 1952). In 1953, she starred in a further two Westerns: Gunsmoke and Ride Clear of Diablo.

Dissatisfied with her film offers, Cabot asked to be released from her contract in 1954. She returned to New York, and resumed her stage career with a role in a Leonard Kantor-directed, Washington DC-based production of Harold Robbins' A Stone for Danny Fisher. Cabot studied acting with Sanford Meisner in New York, and continued to pursue a stage career, appearing in a short-lived run of the musical Shangri-La in Boston in 1959. Cabot returned to Los Angeles and resumed a film career in the latter part of the 1950s, appearing in a series of films for Roger Corman: Carnival Rock, Sorority Girl, The Viking Women and the Sea Serpent (all 1957), War of the Satellites, and Machine-Gun Kelly (both 1958). The same year, she had a lead role in the Western Fort Massacre, opposite Joel McCrea. Cabot's final film role was in Corman's horror film The Wasp Woman (1959). Speaking on her work with Corman, Cabot recalled it as "Totally mad. It was like a European movie," though she stated that Corman was "some kind of maverick... he's very bright and fast-thinking."

1960–1986: Seclusion and later life
Cabot had a seven-year affair with King Hussein of Jordan and their only child was born out of wedlock in 1964. She received $1500 in monthly support from Hussein. In 1968, she married her second husband Michael Roman with whom she raised her son, Timothy Scott Roman, before again divorcing in 1983.

In the last years of her life, Cabot suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts, and was prey to a wide range of irrational, powerful fears. She was under a licensed psychologist's care, but the psychologist found her so troubled and ill that the sessions became "emotionally draining." Cabot became increasingly unable to care for herself; the interior of her home was littered with spoiled food and old newspapers. In late 1986, Cabot's mental health deteriorated significantly. Despite the squalor of the home's interior, Cabot still maintained an "adequate" income despite having retired from acting, largely due to real estate investments and her fascination with vintage cars, which she regularly acquired, restored, and resold.

Death
On December 10, 1986, Cabot's 22-year-old son, Timothy Scott Roman, bludgeoned her to death in her home in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles, with a weightlifting bar. He was charged with second-degree murder.

At trial, Roman testified that his mother had awakened him while screaming, not recognizing him, and calling for her mother, Elizabeth. When he attempted to call emergency services, she attacked him with a barbell bar and a scalpel. Roman seized the bar from her and beat her repeatedly on the head.

He then hid the bar and scalpel, and told police that a man in a ninja mask had killed his mother (believing no one would believe his story about her mental illness). Roman's defense attorneys claimed their client's aggressive reaction to his mother's attack was due to the drugs he took to counteract his dwarfism and pituitary gland problems because the drugs were linked to Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) prion contamination.

At the close of the trial, prosecutors changed the charge to involuntary manslaughter, as no evidence had been presented at trial to support premeditation (which was required for a murder conviction). Superior Court Judge Darlene E. Schempp deliberated 10 minutes, and then convicted Roman of involuntary manslaughter. Roman, who had already spent $2 1/2$ years in jail, was sentenced to three years' probation on November 28, 1989, and ordered to seek psychiatric counseling. He was given credit for the time he had already served in jail awaiting trial.

Timothy died in 2003.

Matt Leinart

Matthew Stephen Leinart (born May 11, 1983) is an American former football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons. He played college football for the USC Trojans, where he won the Heisman Trophy and led his team to an undefeated season as a junior. Selected tenth overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2006 NFL Draft, Leinart primarily served as Kurt Warner's backup for four seasons. He spent his final three seasons in a backup role for the Houston Texans and the Oakland Raiders. Leinart was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2017.

Early life
Leinart was born in Santa Ana, California with strabismus (commonly known as "crossed eyes"); his left eye was not aligned correctly with his right. He underwent surgery when he was three years old and was fitted with special glasses to correct the problem, but the eyewear combined with Leinart's already-overweight frame made him an easy target for other children's ridicule. "I used to get made fun of for being cross-eyed. It's just a terrible thing because kids are so cruel to the fat kid, to the kid with the glasses. So I turned to sports," he would later say.

Leinart attended Mater Dei High School and was a letterman in football and basketball. As a junior, he led his team to a California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division I co-championship and was named the Serra League's Offensive Most Valuable Player. Wearing number 7, he was chosen as the Gatorade California high school football player of the year.

As one of the nation's top college football recruits, Leinart committed to USC under coach Paul Hackett, noting that a major factor was offensive coordinator Hue Jackson. However, after Hackett and most of his staff were fired in 2000, Leinart considered other programs such as Georgia Tech and Arizona State, and visited Oklahoma and Michigan before USC eventually hired Pete Carroll.

2001–2003 seasons
Leinart attended the University of Southern California, where he played for coach Pete Carroll's USC Trojans football team from 2001 to 2005. He redshirted in 2001. As a freshman the next year, he understudied senior quarterback Carson Palmer, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy and was drafted first overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2003 NFL Draft. Leinart appeared in only a few plays in 2002 but did not throw any passes. As a sophomore in 2003, Leinart competed with redshirt junior Matt Cassel, who was Palmer's backup the previous season, and Purdue transfer Brandon Hance for the vacant starting quarterback position. Going into the season, Carroll and his coaching staff selected Leinart, not because he had set himself significantly ahead of the pack in practice, but because they had to pick one of the three as the starting quarterback.

When the coaching staff told Leinart he would be the starter, he replied, "You're never going to regret this." There was some thought in the press that Leinart would merely hold the starting position until highly touted true freshman John David Booty, who had bypassed his senior year in high school to attend USC, could learn the offense.

Leinart's first career pass was a touchdown against Auburn in a 23–0 victory in the season opener. He won the first three games of his career before the then-#3 Trojans suffered a 34–31 triple-overtime defeat to California on September 27 that dropped the Trojans to #10. Leinart and the Trojans bounced back the next week against Arizona State. Leinart injured his knee in the second quarter and was not expected to play again that day, but he returned to the game and finished 13-of-23 for 289 yards in a 37–17 victory.

Leinart and the Trojans won their final eight games and finished the regular season 11–1 and ranked No. 1 in the AP and coaches' polls. However, USC was left out of the BCS championship game after finishing third in the BCS behind Oklahoma and LSU. The Trojans went to the Rose Bowl and played the University of Michigan. Leinart was named the Rose Bowl MVP after he went 23-of-34 for 327 yards, throwing three touchdowns and catching a touchdown of his own from wide receiver Mike Williams. In 13 starts, Leinart was 255 for 402 for 3,556 yards, 38 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He finished sixth in the Heisman voting. He was the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year.

In recognition of his Rose Bowl accomplishments, Leinart was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 2019.

2004 season
The Trojans started Leinart's junior season (2004) with victories in their first three games. On September 25, the Trojans played Stanford. After Stanford took a 28–17 halftime lead, Leinart sparked the offense with a 51-yard pass to Steve Smith and scored on a one-yard sneak to cut the Cardinal lead to four points. Leinart and the Trojans were able to take the lead on a LenDale White rushing touchdown and held on for the victory, 31–28. Leinart completed 24 of 30 passes. Leinart finished the final regular season game against UCLA, but was held without a touchdown pass for the first time in 25 starts. Nonetheless, Leinart was invited to New York for the Heisman ceremony, along with teammate Reggie Bush, Oklahoma's freshman running back sensation Adrian Peterson, quarterback and incumbent Heisman winner Jason White, and Utah's quarterback Alex Smith. In what many had considered one of the more competitive Heisman races, Leinart became the sixth USC player to claim the Heisman Trophy. In 2004, USC went wire-to-wire at No. 1 in the polls and earned a bid to the BCS title game at the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma, which was also 12–0. A dream matchup on paper (including White vs. Leinart, which was to be the first time two Heisman winners would play against each other), the Orange Bowl turned out to be a rout, as Leinart threw for five touchdown passes on 18-for-35 passing and 332 yards to lead the Trojans to a 55–19 victory. Leinart received Orange Bowl MVP honors and the Trojans claimed their first BCS National Championship and second straight No. 1 finish in the AP, extending their winning streak to 22 games. This victory and BCS championship were later vacated as a result of the Reggie Bush scandal (though the AP national championship still stands). He won Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season but shared it with Reggie Bush.

2005 season
Against Notre Dame, Leinart threw for a career-high 400 yards. After an incomplete pass and a sack led to a fourth-and-nine situation with 1:36 left—at the Trojans' own 26-yard line, Leinart called an audible "slant and go" route at the line of scrimmage and threw deep against the Irish's man-to-man coverage, where Dwayne Jarrett caught the ball and raced to the Irish' 13-yard line, a 61-yard gain. Leinart moved the ball to the goal line as time dwindled and scored on a quarterback sneak that gave the Trojans a 34–31 lead with three seconds to go, giving the Trojans their 28th straight victory and one of the most memorable and dramatic finishes in the history of the Notre Dame–USC rivalry.

The 2005 Trojans again had a perfect 12–0 regular season. Leinart was again invited to New York for the Heisman ceremony along with teammate Reggie Bush and Texas quarterback Vince Young. As a former Heisman winner, Leinart cast his first-place vote for Bush, and ended up third in the voting behind Bush and runner-up Young.

The Trojans advanced to the Rose Bowl to face Vince Young and #2 Texas in the BCS title game. The title game was considered another "dream matchup". Leinart completed 29 of 40 passes for a touchdown and 365 yards, but was overshadowed by Young, who piled up 467 yards of total offense and rushed for three touchdowns, including a score with 19 seconds remaining and two-point conversion to put the Longhorns ahead, 41–38. The Trojans lost for the first time in 35 games, and Leinart for just the second time in his 39 career starts. After graduation, Leinart's #11 jersey was retired at USC.

Leinart finished his college career with 807 completions on 1,245 attempts (64.8% completion percentage) for 10,693 yards, 99 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions. At the time of his departure, he was USC's all-time leader in career touchdown passes and completion percentage, and was second at USC behind Carson Palmer in completions and yardage.

Pre-draft
Projected to be the first overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft, Leinart's draft stock decreased after he chose to return to USC for his senior season. Nonetheless, he remained one of the top prospects in the 2006 NFL Draft. Scouts considered Leinart to be the archetypal NFL quarterback in size at 6ft 5in and 225 lb, although his arm strength drew concerns.

Arizona Cardinals
Leinart was selected tenth overall in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Leinart was the draft's second-highest selected quarterback after Vince Young, who defeated Leinart's team in the Rose Bowl.

Leinart spent four seasons with the Cardinals, primarily as a backup for veteran Kurt Warner.

In his first season, after a contentious negotiation making him the last member of the draft to sign a contract, Leinart agreed to a six-year, $51 million contract on August 14. Leinart played in the second quarter of the exhibition game against the New England Patriots on August 19.

Cardinals head coach Dennis Green held a press conference after a poor performance by Warner in Week 3 and announced Leinart would start. He made his debut in the fourth game of the season, throwing two touchdown passes.

In Week 6 against the 5–0 Chicago Bears, Leinart threw two touchdown passes in the first half, but the Bears came back in the second half to win 24–23.

In a November 26 game against the Minnesota Vikings, Leinart set a then-NFL rookie record with 405 passing yards, but only produced a quarterback rating of 74.0 as the team ultimately lost. He suffered a sprained left shoulder (throwing arm) in the Week 16 win over the San Francisco 49ers. In 11 starts, Leinart threw for 2,547 yards and 11 touchdowns. He finished the season with a 4–7 record.

Leinart opened the 2007 season on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers as the starting quarterback. After a sequence of drives, the offense stalled, which led new head coach Ken Whisenhunt to begin inserting Warner as a situational quarterback. On October 7, 2007, Leinart suffered a fractured left collarbone after being sacked by St. Louis Rams linebacker Will Witherspoon. Three days later, he was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. In his first two NFL seasons, Leinart had suffered two season-ending injuries, both due to being sacked. With Warner at the helm for the remainder of the season, the Cardinals mounted a late-season surge and won five of their final eight games.

In Leinart's second season with Arizona, he started five games, completed 53.6% of his passes (60/112), and threw for 647 yards, 5.8 yards per attempt, two touchdowns, and four interceptions. His passer rating was 61.9. He averaged 129 yards and 0.4 touchdowns per start. In the 2008 offseason, after he recovered from the injury, Leinart was handed his starting job back. Still, his hold on the job was tenuous after another strong training camp performance by Warner. Finally, after Leinart threw three interceptions within a matter of minutes versus the Oakland Raiders in the third preseason game, Warner was named the opening-day starter. Leinart picked up only a limited number of snaps in mop-up duty behind Warner. Warner started 16 games and took the Cardinals to their first ever Super Bowl, cementing his status as starter and Leinart's status as a backup. For the 2008 season, he completed 15 of 29 passing attempts (51.7%), one touchdown, one interception, and an 80.2 passer rating. In 2009, Leinart continued his role as back-up for Warner, who started all but one regular season game.

In 2010, Leinart was named the presumptive starter after Warner's retirement. However, due to poor play, the starting job in training camp was given to Derek Anderson. The Cardinals released Leinart on September 4, two days after the final preseason game, in favor of Anderson and rookies Max Hall and John Skelton.

Houston Texans
On September 6, 2010, the NFL announced that Leinart signed a one-year contract to back up Matt Schaub with the Houston Texans. Since Schaub played all 16 games, Leinart did not play during the 2010 season. During the 2011 offseason, despite speculation that he would sign with the Seattle Seahawks, who were coached by Leinart's college coach Pete Carroll, and compete for a starting job, Leinart ultimately agreed to return to Houston as a backup for the 2011 season. In Week 10, Schaub injured his right foot and the Texans named Leinart their starter. Leinart started for the first time in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars; however, during the first half he fractured his collarbone and was replaced by rookie quarterback T. J. Yates. At this point in his career, Leinart already suffered three season-ending injuries (2006, 2007, 2011) within his last eight starts.

On March 12, 2012, Leinart was released by the Texans.

Oakland Raiders
Leinart signed with the Oakland Raiders on May 1, 2012, as a backup to his former college teammate and fellow Heisman winner Carson Palmer. After Palmer suffered an injury in Week 16, Leinart and Terrelle Pryor split first-team reps. Pryor ended up getting the start in Week 17 and Leinart was not re-signed by the Raiders the following offseason.

Buffalo Bills
After injuries to quarterbacks EJ Manuel (knee surgery) and Kevin Kolb (concussion), the Bills decided to sign Leinart on August 25, 2013. Leinart and Thad Lewis (who was brought in on the same day through a trade) would compete for the fourth-string quarterback job behind undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel. Lewis won the competition, and Leinart was released by the team on August 30, 2013.

Personal life
Leinart has a son with Brynn Cameron, a former USC women's basketball player. The couple split before their son's birth.

His mother was Linda (née Primak) and his father is Bob Leinart.

In May 2018, Leinart married Make It or Break It and The Mentalist actress Josie Loren at the Basilica of St. Lawrence in Asheville, North Carolina. In January 2020, Loren gave birth to Leinart's second son. In May 2021, Loren had his third son.

As of January 2023, Leinart is an analyst on Big Noon Kickoff for Fox Sports 1.
