Talk:Westport, County Mayo

CREATING A COMPREHENSIVE ARTICLE FOR WESTPORT
It is time Westport had a comprehensive article. I would be grateful if anyone who knows Westport could make this an article to be proud of, foucusing on the towns history, economy, culture, and natural surroundings. I myself will add to it as often as I can, but as I am not at home I have few photographs etc. to offer.--Brendanconway 12:02, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll do my best to get some good photos. By the way aren't beeves slaughtered, rather than fully-grown cattle? Evertype 09:02, 2005 May 12 (UTC)

If I can think of anything to add, I'll be happy too. Although I'm in Cambridgeshire, UK, I've got family in Westport. Lovely town, good page.--Burwellian 13:31, 24 Jun 2005 (BST)

Left a small article on Westport United. Hope that users may appreciate our local football club on wikipedia.

Hi, was just wondering if anybody would like to help with the eagrán Gaeilge on this article. Cheers. Scuzzball 03:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Framed photos
Would whoever put up the framed pics pl remove the frames or they may be deleted. Sarah777 (talk) 09:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Population
This is a saved copy of the populations table.

1831 appears to be a simple typo so I have 'corrected' it in the main article. Thus reducing population growth in the 1820's from a "highly improbable and somewhat exhausting", Leporidaen, 465% to a realistic 2.8%. If I am wrong, please feel free to restore the data, with a valid reference. Autodidactyl (talk) 09:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * And they all died or left years before the famine started. Must have been the Great Westport Goldrush! Sarah777 (talk) 09:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * lol. Thanks Sarah, with your endorsement I'm sure nobody will dare contradict.... apart from those that regard 'baiting' as a key part of the sport of debating. :) Autodidactyl (talk) 10:07, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Cathair na Mart
I removed a line that stated that Westport was historically known as 'cahernamart'. It was historically known as 'cathair na mart'. 'cahernamart' is just the anglicised version of the older Irish name, used by English speaking authors, etc. The region was Irish speaking and the Irish version would be the oldest and most accurate one. Plus the reference cited stated 'cathair na mart', not 'cahernamart'. The history of the name is also discussed in the history section, so probably no need to mention it in the opening paragraph.

Regarding the meaning of Cathair na Mart, historically in the references it translates as the 'stone fort of the beeves', modern gaeilge literal translations aren't relevant as they don't accurately translate the term.

 * Cathair na Mart is the historic (and current) Irish name, while Cahernamart is the historic Anglicization. When I added Cahernamart, I wasn't suggesting that it was the only historic name. References to Cahernamart can be found here (look at page 2 of the archival records). ~Asarlaí 03:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Cathair na Mart does not trranslate as 'City of the Bull' that is incorrect and explained above, it historically translates as Stone Fort of the Beeves. It was the name of an O'Malley tower House castle (fort) which gave its name to the original village of Cathair na Mart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Westporthistory (talk • contribs) 22:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if that's directed at me, but I wasn't the one who added the translation. ~Asarlaí 22:47, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Irish Planned Towns
(Preliminary draft 21.07.2010, this iteration 27.07.2010, amended 05.08.2010)

In the absence of editorial input by the original author, I decided to remove the claim that Westport is "one of the few planned towns in the country (by James Wyatt in 1780)" for the following reasons.

Virtually all Irish towns from the Norman period onward were planned, although we may not always be able to identify the actual designer. Any reflection on the nature and form of towns will conclude that they were planned in the same way, though usually perhaps not to the same elegance, as Westport.

The Normans brought to Ireland the concept of founding towns as a mechanism for extracting wealth from their new fiefdoms. In medieval times, the idea was that the founding knight, the landlord, laid out the town as a series of streets and divided the land on each side of the streets into plots usually of equal width. He then invited tenants to rent these plots (and in the case of many of the early Norman Irish towns these were craftsmen from England and Wales). The craftsmen/traders then built properties on these plots, with a trading ground floor facing the street, with their residence on the floor or floors above. As only the front portion of the plot was thus developed, the remainder of the plot, the back garden, was generally cultivated for agricultural produce, but in time, frequently became developed in whole or in part, as the business expanded. Consequent on taking leases, the tenants achieved in the medieval feudal system, the coveted status of freeman burgers. The burgers paid an annual rent to the landlord, who also generated income from taxes on the weekly or monthly fair (having ensured for this purpose that in the town's design that a market square or even a modest widening of one street was provided), as well as court fines and other various taxes, which included "murage" a tax to pay for the erection of a defensive wall around the town.

The founding of the town had to be approved under the feudal system by the overlord, usually the Norman king of England. Many of these Regal documents approving the settlement, known as a town's charter, still survive, and the RHA in Dublin's Dawson Street preserves a selection of Irish town's charters. Amongst the matters regulated by the town's charter was the width of the burger's plots and from the charters of Kells, Kilkenny and Carlow (charter 1208), (all 13th century?) it appears that the width of the burger's plot in these towns approximated to the modern dimension of 6.1 metres.

Most of the original Norman towns were planned with only a single street, though more sophisticated layouts were planned featuring multiple streets forming a series of urban blocks (the lands between the streets) as in the cases of Drogheda (planned with a total of 13 blocks) about as extensive as Westport planned about 500 years later, and other towns with a multiple block layout, and thus a number of streets include Athenry, Dungarvan (founded 1185, charter granted 1215) and Wexford. In places such as Kells, the street network probably adopted pre-existing street patterns from the preceding monastic layout, but in Dungarvan the present street layout in the town centre preserves the original orthogonal grid iron layout.

Waves of town foundations in Ireland subsequent to the Normans adopted similar approaches in their layouts. Principal amongst there were the 16th century plantation towns mainly in Northern Ireland but including Portlaoise (as the town of Maryborough, accorded the status of borough town in 1569 consequent of the Act of 1566), and later the 18th century towns frequently a regeneration of earlier towns by the local landlord, including Westport and other towns such as Ballinasloe, and Cootehill (a patent to hold fairs, a contemporary incarnation of the town's charter granted to Thomas Coote in the early 18th century).

From the above brief outline it must be concluded that Westport, though a particularly attractive example, was not only not unique, but was typical of Irish towns which had been planned from the 12th century onwards.

Lord Edward Cecil

Lord Edward Herbert Gascoyne-Cecil (12 July 1867 – 13 December 1918), known as Lord Edward Cecil, was a distinguished and highly decorated English soldier. As colonial administrator in Egypt and advisor to the Liberal government, he helped to implement Army reforms.

Biography
Lord Edward was born on 12 July 1867, the fourth son of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury and Georgina Charlotte. When Edward was born, his father asked the Earl of Carnarvon to be a godfather. He was educated at Eton College, but did badly in his exams, failing to get into Sandhurst, which his father blamed on the school (because he had been bullied there). His family called him "Nigs", which his mother used when writing to him at boarding school. When only 11 years old, he wrote a play on "The Eastern Question" from his father's foreign office papers. The tone of the play was anti-Beaconsfield, showing a resentment for a longevity in office. Written in 1878, at the time of Congress of Berlin, perhaps unaware that Beaconsfield had only three years to live, the Prime Minister is personified as Dickens' 'Artful Dodger'. A latent racism was characteristic of Cecilian "clannish" behaviour.

Gascoyne-Cecil became a Second Lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards in 1887. He served for four years in the regiment before being promoted first lieutenant and appointed to the staff of Field Marshal Garnet Wolseley. On the Dongola Expedition in 1896 he served with distinction: mentioned in despatches, he was promoted a Brevet Major, winning the Order of Medjidie 4th Class and the Khedive's Star for service in Egypt and Sudan, with two clasps. He was aide de camp to Lord Kitchener in the Egyptian campaign of 1896, who had a profound influence on his career. "All shall be at home known by the proper people" wrote Lord Edward in his diary. The following day, his father Lord Salisbury announced in parliament that Dongola was not the objective, but the conquest of the Sudan, and recapture of Khartoum to avenge the murder of General Gordon.

Cecil was appointed a member of the Rodd Mission to the Emperor Menelik II of Abyssinia in 1897 that negotiated the Anglo-Ethiopian Treaty of 1897. The following year the Fashoda incident occurred when Captain Marchand leading a small military expedition occupied the White Nile town of Fashoda in present-day South Sudan after an epic 14-month march from West Africa, and claimed the area for France in opposition to Anglo-Egyptian claims, bringing the two powers close to war. On 18 September Lord Edward arrived at Fashoda with Kitchener's expeditionary force of five steam-boats carrying 100 Highlanders, 2,500 Sudanese troops and four machine guns. Kitchener set up a meeting on 19 September at which they drank whisky and champagne with Marchand. The French troops withdrew on 3 November on instruction from Paris. On the Nile Expedition they conquered Darfur and annexed the South of Sudan. Kitchener's army returned in triumph to a speech at the Mansion House. In Cimiez, south of France that summer an elated Queen congratulated Salisbury. In the campaign which culminated at the battle of Omdurman he was mentioned in despatches at the battle of Atbara and for his part in the recapture of Khartoum he was mentioned in despatches and won two clasps. Cecil was present at the battle of Omdurman.

With Kitchener and Baden-Powell in South Africa

On 3 July 1899, Colonel Baden-Powell was informed by Wolseley at the War Office that he should go immediately to Mafeking, taking Lord Edward Cecil as his Chief Staff Officer. They sailed on 8 July, Cecil taking Violet with him. When they landed at Cape Town, Cecil went to contractors Julius Weil & Co to order £500,000 worth of supplies for what Cecil correctly anticipated would be a long siege. As the Prime Minister's son, Cecil's signature carried weight with Weil & Co although, the Cecils expected parliament would approve the amount.

In October 1899, Cecil was serving with Colonel Baden-Powell, when besieged at Mafeking. 30 October was known as 'Mournful Monday' as three British columns surrendered; the situation became desperate. As second-in-command Cecil imposed the death penalty for spying, looting, trespassing, and loitering outside a women's laager at night. He was in charge of provisioning: when the food ran out the people had to eat dogs and horses, there was one reported case of cannibalism. 478 people died during the siege. Baden-Powell kept the Boers tied down for seven months, only to emerge later as a national hero. On 5 January, The Times reported that Cecil was in hospital in Mafeking with fever.

Cecil set up the Mafeking Cadet Corps that led onto Baden-Powell founding the Scouts later on. Cecil was chivalrous towards women, but it became clear that the English expected the blacks to starve first. When the siege was finally lifted on 17 May 1900, there was ecstatic rejoicing in London at the news. Cecil had a poignant reunion with his wife at Mafeking on 29 June, and then rode out north into the Transvaal. Lady Edward was staying at Groote Schuur and probably conducting an affair with Lord Milner. Frances teased the Prime Minister "Gainst death could wrestle with Gallant young Cecil!" When Lord Edward Cecil came home to a triumphant welcome at Hatfield House his father had written off his debts, and the whole town turned out to cheer as the celebrations began on 18 December. The houses were decorated with bunting, the brewery men decked out in livery. Lord Edward made a speech, and was formally thanked by Lord Salisbury. They lit a huge bonfire in the park with fireworks.

The following day C-in-C, General Buller landed with an army at Cape Town. During the Second Boer War he was mentioned in despatches, made Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, awarded the Queen's Medal, with two clasps. In February 1902, Cecil was appointed as Military Secretary to the Sirdar, Lord Kitchener travelling back to Egypt. The Cecils remained bullish and optimistic, but Kitchener estimated there were about 5,000 Boers left in the field. Edward was the only son never to see his father at the death, he had embarked from Egypt three days before on 19 August 1903.

Later career
Cecil was appointed Agent-General to the Government of Sudan and Director of Intelligence at Cairo for two years. Returning to Britain the new Liberal Government invited Lord Edward Cecil to be Under-Secretary of War in 1906. He was Under-Secretary of Finance from 1907 until 1913, and Financial Advisor to War Office from 1912 until the end of the Great War. In 1915 he was awarded Grand Cordon Order of the Nile. He spent most of the last year of his life receiving treatment for tuberculosis in Switzerland, where he died at midnight on the 13-14 September.

Character
Cecil was a tough but dissolute army officer, laden with gambling debts. He was a keen baccarat player, a charming fellow, and a well known raconteur. He was always tapping his father for money, demonstrable in the copious notes in the Cecil family correspondence but Lord Salisbury's patience ran out in 1891. In May 1891, he paid in £1,126.8s.6d, money originally intended for unmarried sister, Gwendolen. However, while fighting abroad, the mess bills continued to mount, and by May 1894 he owed another £2,000.

His book, The Leisure of an Egyptian Official, published posthumously in 1921, gives a detailed account of his role and interactions with the Egyptian politicians in nominal control of the country.

He married Violet Georgina Maxse, second daughter of Admiral Frederick Augustus Maxse, a son of Baron Berkeley on 18 June 1894, at St Saviour's Church, Chelsea. The officiant was his brother Rev William Cecil. A wide range of society guests appeared at the wedding, Asquith, Morley and Chamberlain, as well as his cousin Balfour and father Salisbury, and liberal poets Blunt and Wilde. His mother, Lady Salisbury remarked: "It will be good for Nigs to have a clever wife and one accustomed to taking care of expenses and I hope will convert her. I don't believe in pious pagans - and my only real objection to the Souls, is their heathenry". His father warned him about her character; and settled a further £1,000 pa having settled his debts again. Lord Edward earned £200 pa in Army pay, but his wife's contribution was double that, making their life comfortable. Salisbury urged them to work on their relationship, but the marriage was unhappy.

Lady Edward Cecil was appointed Grand Dame of the Order of St John, and Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur. She and Lord Edward Cecil had a son and a daughter. George Edward Gascoyne-Cecil, born on 9 September 1895, became a second lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards and was killed in action on 1 September 1914, near Villers-Cotterets, France. Helen Mary Gascoyne-Cecil, born on 11 May 1901, became an author and married Alexander Hardinge, 2nd Baron Hardinge of Penshurst. She died in 1979.

After Lord Edward's death, at Leysin, Switzerland on 13 December 1918, his widow remarried. Her second husband was the first and last Viscount Milner (died 13 May 1925).

Peter Madsen (footballer)

Peter Planch Madsen (born 26 April 1978) is a retired Danish professional footballer who played as a striker.

He began and ended his career with Brøndby IF, winning the Danish Superliga three times and finishing as its joint top scorer in 2001–02. Abroad, he totalled 63 games and 18 goals in Germany's Bundesliga for VfL Wolfsburg, VfL Bochum and 1. FC Köln, and had a brief loan to England's Southampton in 2006.

Madsen played 13 games and scored three goals for the Denmark national team between 2001 and 2005. He was part of their squads at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2004.

Club career
Born in Roskilde, Madsen started playing as a junior for Roskilde B 06, before he moved on to the youth team of Brøndby IF. He played 35 matches and scored nine goals for various Danish national youth teams from 1993 to 1999. He made his senior debut for Brøndby in April 1997, and went on to win three Danish Superliga championships and the 1998 Danish Cup in his six years with the club. He finished the 2001–02 season as joint league top scorer with Kaspar Dalgas.

Madsen was loaned to German team VfL Wolfsburg in January 2003, playing in the top-flight Bundesliga championship. A part of the loan contract was a June 2003 transfer deal worth 15 million DKK, but as Wolfsburg eventually rejected the transfer, Madsen ended up joining VfL Bochum of the same league in the summer 2003. In his first season with Bochum, Madsen scored 13 league goals.

As Bochum were relegated following the 2004–05 season, Madsen moved on to 1. FC Köln in July 2005. On 30 January 2006, he signed a loan deal with English Championship club Southampton, lasting until the end of the 2005–06 season. He scored twice in his nine league games before returning to Köln, who had then been relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. He played 13 games for Köln in that league before leaving the club. In May 2007, he agreed a move back to Brøndby IF, signing a five-year contract effective from 1 July.

International career
Madsen made his debut for the Denmark national team on 6 October 2001, in a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifier at home to Iceland. He came on in the 69th minute as a substitute for Ebbe Sand. Morten Olsen named him for the 23-man squad at the final tournament in South Korea and Japan, where he was unused in a run to the last 16.

Olsen also called up Madsen to play at UEFA Euro 2004 in Portugal. He made his one tournament appearance in the 3–0 quarter-final loss to the Czech Republic, replacing Claus Jensen for the last 19 minutes at the Estádio do Dragão.

Capped 13 times, Madsen scored his only international goals on 18 August 2004 with a hat-trick in a 5–1 friendly win away to Poland in Poznań.

Personal life
In March 2020, Madsen tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during the current pandemic of the disease. He had been infected at a birthday party in Amsterdam, which he attended with former teammates Christian Poulsen and Thomas Kahlenberg. He was tested after Kahlenberg had been tested positive. Madsen's only symptom was a slight headache and he was placed in home quarantine.

Talk:QuakeCon

This article is mostly one unclean list. The content should be moved to tables instead of sumchapters. I found it unfair to call quakeCon exceptional as a LAN party for it's voluntary work. Most LAN parties of any scale depends of voluntary work. Examples:The Gathering (computer party), Assembly (demo party) and Dreamhack. So I edited that part out.

Then for the naming. Is the name quakecon, QuakeCon, quakeCon or Quakecon? May variations are used.

--Znora (talk) 20:38, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I added the tag, because the article reads too much like a Quakecon ad instead of an encyclopaedic work. Especially the community section contains too much unverifyable hyperbole. --Plek 12:14, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

In the process
I'm in the process of putting this article into more of an encylopedia entry as opposed to, as the previous person has said, a giant Quakecon advertisement. First minor edit of the night: I don't really think it's necessary to emphasize that the event is free.

 * actually, I'd say that it's one of the single most important things to emphasize. Quakecon is basically the largest 100% free LAN party in the entire world. That's a big deal :) --TomServo

I'll fix the page. I was the one that added the 'ad' content in the first place, and I'll be happy to re-word it all. --TomServo

I don't think qconpics should be an external link
I don't think this should be in the external links, as the site only has a 2004 gallery. I think the links to gallery pages should be as comprehensive as possible. --Mancide

 * Been there recently? -- Duggera 06:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

More factual history and commentary
I'd have to echo the earlier comments. This isn't the place for promotion, and the event deserves a frank historical discussion, encompassing both its many successes, and its warts as well. The event is dear to many of us, and its history should not be written as an advertisement, nor edited to soften details. It would be well to consider, that this might be the only enduring history of the event in a few years.

It would be nice to locate a listing of the tournament winners, and the amounts that they won. A few more paras on the origins of the event would be great too, since they represent the "lore" of the event - an important thing to the community of folks the event has spawned over the years. --Tapper

2006 is not the past
I removed the 2006 subsection from "Past Events" since I left it commented out, though, so it can be re-added once it has occurred. Pimlottc 20:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) It hasn't happened, so it's not a past event
 * 2) There was useful information here not already in the QuakeCon 2006 section

Popular Games
Does this really belong? --65.160.122.220 10:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that it does because it lists the games that are currently played at Quakecon. I do, however, think that the title is not specific enough, I think Popular Games Played at Quakecon would be more appropriate, though it's a bit long. I also think that games such as Doom 3 should be removed because it is not longer a popular game. --Credema 06:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps new games could be added with the year they really came out into their own? (Guitar Hero, DDR, et al) It might help to show folks that you aren't confined to id's games when you're at QuakeCon, and yes, I did notice CoD, CS, and BF2. While yes, id Software games and games based on their engines are the primary focus, it could be helpful to let it be known that they aren't the only focus. -- Duggera 06:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Cases
How about pictures of some of the quake themed case mods found at quakecon. --Trusader 23:52, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that really goes along with the definition of 'what is QuakeCon' because the case mod competition (or case modding in general) is not one of the primary foci of the event. Duggera 10:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Clarification...
Has Apple Computer actually been a sponsor? I was under the impression that they haven't been. I know Aspyr has been, but I wasn't sure about Apple. I welcome elucidation. Duggera 10:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Apple was an official paying and participating sponsor in 1999 and 2000. I'm not sure about later years. Ccwino 14:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Modified 2000 & 2001
I passed leadership of QuakeCon to EvilJohn/Tapper for the 2001 event, not 2000. Updated those two years to reflect that fact. Also, I have a bunch of saved emails/docs/etc that might be nice for this site. Tom, let me know what you'd like to see here. Ccwino 14:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Photos
Can we get some photos from a QuakeCon? Surely someone has a camera, attended and wouldn't mind public domaining their pics?

ManicParroT 14:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

QuakeCon 2007
I have added the tag to the QuakeCon 2007 part as this event hasn't happened yet. --BC 03:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

We also need to mention that Superpumper replaces Eagle1 as Director of Registration and that T-Dawg replaces Nate as Director of Tournaments. Someone with more eloquence should do the write up. ;) Duggera 17:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

suggested mod: quakecon personality honorable mentions / obituaries?
today when i heard that polish had passed on (jaroslaw wolski, aka 'jerry'), i wanted to make mention of him on the quakecon page here at wikipedia as being one of the key first people to be heavily involved with quakecon during the first few events, which was greatly appreciated.

would it be considered as being outside of the scope of the wikipedia article to make mention of quakecon personalities, and their passing? i'd like to hear some opinions before i go (or someone else goes) to make any edits to the actual article.

polish counts in my mind as one of the major influences in the creation of quakecon, and i'm finding it unfortunate he had not yet made it into the wikipedia article while he was still alive. in the past i've had thoughts about making mention of other people, like stigmata (mike leary), as being "quakecon personalities" of note, who are either still with us or who have left us.

thoughts, anyone? ;-)

John Moran Bailey

John Moran Bailey (November 23, 1904 – April 10, 1975) was an American politician who played a major role in promoting the New Deal coalition of the Democratic Party and its liberal policy positions.

Bailey dominated Connecticut Democratic politics as a party chairman, from 1946 to his death in 1975. He typically had a decisive voice in selecting the party's candidates for top offices and in coordinating Democrats in the state legislature. He was even more powerful as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1961 until 1968 and was one of the main behind-the-scenes backers of John F. Kennedy.

An Irish Catholic, Bailey was educated at The Catholic University of America and Harvard Law School.

State politics
John M Bailey, was one of the proud founders of the Young Democrats of America, serving as a national officer in 1935 from Connecticut, an organization which was crafted from the Presidential Candidacy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933.

Bailey was the dominant figure in Connecticut politics between 1950 and his death in 1975. From his office in Hartford two blocks from the State Capitol, he coordinated and controlled statewide election campaigns and the activities of the Connecticut General Assembly.

Bailey's tenure as head of the Connecticut Democratic party was credited with turning the state from one politically dominated by WASP Yankee Republicans to one dominated by Democratic candidates of Roman Catholic and Jewish background, such as Abraham Ribicoff, Thomas Dodd, John Dempsey, and Ella T. Grasso.

His Republican rival was Meade Alcorn, who also happened to serve as national chairman of his party.

Prior to his statewide activities, Bailey had served in local roles in his home city of Hartford.

Federal politics
Bailey's term as DNC chairman was a roller-coaster ride, as he oversaw the party's moment of greatest political strength (following the 1964 electoral landslide) and greatest political weakness (the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago). He was also the first Chairman to oversee the loss of the South.

Following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, Bailey and the new president, Lyndon B. Johnson, oversaw the greatest electoral landslide in United States history, with the party winning 486 electoral votes as well as supermajorities in both houses of the US Congress. The 1966 elections to the House of Representatives and the Senate saw Republican gains but Democrats retaining control of both houses of Congress as well as the majority of governorships.

In 1968, the Republican Party again nominated Richard Nixon as the presidential nominee and quickly rallied around him. However, the Democrats were more divided, particularly over the controversial Vietnam War. Senator Eugene McCarthy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Senator George McGovern, Vice President Hubert Humphrey were only some of those who sought the nomination, with Bailey co-presiding over the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. In the end, Nixon was elected, but the Democrats retained their majority in both houses of Congress.

Death
Bailey died in 1975 and was interred at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford, Connecticut.

The John M. Bailey Papers have been donated to the University of Connecticut and are available for research.

Legacy
Connecticut Democrats honor Bailey each year with their Jefferson-Jackson-Bailey Dinner. An admiring biography of Bailey was written by Senator Joe Lieberman in 1981.

The Bailey and Kennelly families have a prominent presence in the Connecticut Democratic Party and in their home city of Hartford. In Hartford, they're one of the last prominent Irish families in a city that is now dominated by African Americans and Puerto Ricans.

Bailey's daughter, Barbara Bailey Kennelly served in the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's first congressional district. She later left the House to run for governor in a race she lost to the incumbent, John G. Rowland.

Another Bailey daughter, Judith Bailey Perkins, is a professor at Saint Joseph College in West Hartford.

Bailey's son, also named John Bailey, was a career prosecutor in Connecticut, first serving as Hartford State's Attorney, then as Chief State's Attorney.

Many of Bailey's grandsons went on to have politically oriented careers: John Moran Bailey II is currently the Director of Government and Community Affairs for a nonprofit, SINA Inc., Justin Kronholm, is the former executive director of the Connecticut Democratic State Central Committee, and John B. Kennelly was previously elected to Hartford Court of Common Council and was an early rival to Hartford mayor Eddie Perez.

Joseph W. Bailey

Joseph Weldon Bailey Sr. (October 6, 1862 – April 13, 1929), was a United States senator, member of the U.S. House of Representatives, lawyer, and Bourbon Democrat who was famous for his speeches extolling conservative causes of his time, such as opposition to woman suffrage or restrictions on child labor. He served as a Congressional Representative between 1891 and 1901, and as the House Minority leader from 1897 until 1899. In 1901, he was elected to the Senate, serving until 1913. Historian Elna C. Green says that Bailey "was known in Texas as a rigorous defender of states' rights, constitutional conservatism, and governmental economy. His opponents considered him the symbol of privilege and corruption in government."

Biography
Born in Crystal Springs in Copiah County outside Jackson, Mississippi, Bailey attended the University of Mississippi at Oxford, where in 1879 he joined the prestigious Delta Psi fraternity (AKA St. Anthony Hall). He graduated with a law degree from Cumberland University in 1883 and was admitted to the bar in Mississippi that same year. He moved to Gainesville, Texas, in 1885, where he continued to practice law.

He had been politically active as a Democrat in both Mississippi and his new home and had a reputation as an excellent public speaker who promoted Jeffersonian democracy. He was elected to the House in 1891 and quickly distinguished himself as leading advocate for free silver, which contributed to his election as Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives in 1897. He exerted considerable influence on his colleagues, but also struggled to unify his divided caucus. On April 14, 1897, some House Democrats, led by David A. De Armond sought to block a three day adjournment, a maneuver understood as a repudiation of Bailey's cooperative relationship with Republican Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed.

Bailey's most severe disappointment as minority leader came in 1898, when he argued that congressmen who had accepted commissions to serve in the army without resigning from Congress had violated the Ineligibility Clause of the Constitution. Despite Bailey's advocacy, a majority of Democrats opposed a motion to consider a resolution which would have removed several members from Congress who had simultaneously held commissions during the Spanish–American War. The next day, Bailey declared that he would not be a candidate for minority leader in the next Congress.

He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1901. His political career was tarnished by an assault against Senator Albert J. Beveridge, an Indiana Republican. Subsequent investigations brought to light suspicious income and financial ties that Bailey had to the burgeoning oil industry. Nevertheless, financial allegations against Bailey in 1906 threatened his reelection to the Senate, a task then the prerogative of the Texas legislature, rather than party voters. His tenure ended on January 3, 1913 when he resigned his Senate seat.

After his defeat by Pat M. Neff in the Democratic gubernatorial primary in 1920, Bailey moved to Dallas to practice law. On April 13, 1929, he died in a courtroom in Sherman, Texas, having just sat down after completing an argument.

Nice work! Theresa Knott (Not the skater) 11:16, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Very nice indeed - keep it up! I'd like to see more linguistic maps on Wikipedia... How'd you make them? My only complaint is that Songhay seems to be missing. - Mustafaa 12:30, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I made them in CorelDraw 12; I took the Africa outline from some vector-based map of the world. My primary source for the African language family series was the book African Voices, Vic Webb and Kembo-Sure (2000).
 * Thanks for the complaint as well. Not for nothing I have given them a version number (although probably 'v1.0' should have been 'v0.9'). As for Songhay, I'm working on that. My first grid was too coarse, I guess. - Mark Dingemanse (talk)  14:39, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Dahomey Amazons
The local name of the regiment is a question I asked myself when compiling the article. Relying as I did purely on internet sources, I was unable to come up with an answer. However, I have access to the SOAS library, and therefore to the books mentioned in the further reading section. On my next visit, I'll see if the books answer the question. On the subject of Africa, could you tell me where you got the vector maps of Africa? I'd like to use them for an illustrative timeline of Congo Civil War. -- Xed 16:39, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * As for the local name, I'm curious! I used the reference map from the CIA Factbook (pdf format) as a basis: . I layered the map in CorelDraw, (putting names, borders, rivers etc. on different layers) so if you need something with only borders and a plain background or anything else, I can provide you with that (it would save you some work). - Mark Dingemanse  (talk)  17:19, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * It's OK. Actually I'm not sure if it should be Militarev or Militariev. Either he has published under both names (like Kossman/Kossmann), or (less likely) they are different authors coincidentally both working on Afro-Asiatic.  ¶ Mark Dingemanse  (talk)  17:11, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Whistled languages
According to the other article on the subject - whistled speech - the following are attested in West Africa: Bafia, Bape Birifor, Bobo, Burunsi, Daguri, Ewe, Marka, Tshi, Ule.

I like User:Mark_Dingemanse/draft3; I'll have to do some editing, though I really shouldn't at this time of night. I've been working on articles on unclassified languages a bit; I'm going to try and track down as many of them as possible, on the off chance that there's a paper in it :D. Oropom language, at least, is ridiculously interesting, considering that it will likely never be classifiable... - Mustafaa 02:12, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

As for the trade languages, one could make the case that Amharic should be included, and that Arabic should extend somewhat further south; and Kanuri is in retreat, but was pretty big along that trade route. Also, what of the European ones - Cameroon Pidgin English, Krio, etc.? Don't they count as effectively linguae francae? - Mustafaa 02:18, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * They sure do. However, I was a bit in doubt which sort of map to make - one of african trade languages, or one showing the most important languages of wider communication/linguae francae. I ended up with a mix of the two things, which is not good. In other words, the map is as drafty as the /draft3 article itself. As for Amharic, is it used frequently in multilingual contexts?  — mark ✎

 * Regarding the whistled languages, I have my doubts. I happen to know Ewe quite well, and I can imagine that it is whistled in some contexts, since it is a tonal language. But in that way, many tonal languages would qualify as whistled languages — it is difficult to draw the line. I really should get to sleep now, I can't think anymore.  — mark ✎

I think most whistled languages are actually just whistled versions of the spoken language, but I could be wrong - certainly it's hard to imagine a whistled version of Spanish, yet they have a whistle language on Gomera. I think Amharic is used frequently in multilingual contexts, but only between Ethiopians... - Mustafaa 01:57, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Oropom
Incidentally, you seem to be good at tracking down books - I don't suppose you could take a quick look on your bibliographic database in case something else has been published on Oropom after all? I just added the wordlist, btw, so if it should remind you of anything, it might get you fifteen minutes of fame... - Mustafaa 01:58, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I found only one additional reference, but I think it's a nice one:
 * Elderkin, E.D. (1983) 'Tanzanian and Ugandan isolates'. In Nilotic studies: proceedings of the international symposium on languages and history of the Nilotic peoples, Cologne, January 4-6, 1982 Vol. 2 / Rainer Vossen, Marianne Bechhaus-Gerst (eds), Vol. 2, pp 499-521.
 * Abstract: The Kuliak languages (Uganda), Hadza and Sandawe (Koisan languages in Tanzania), and Oropom (Uganda, probably extinct) have not been precisely placed to everyone's satisfaction within a genetic classification. A consideration of the vocabulary of these languages does not suggest any strong genetic relation between any pair, except possibly for Oropom and Kuliak. But there are some similarities between Sandawe and Kuliak which are not yet correlated with a historical explanation; they will have to be considered together with Hadza-Kuliak similarities.

Whoa, nice one! Thanks. - Mustafaa 04:23, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

how to deal with new POV-fanatics
Maybe you'd be interested in User:Tuomas. I think of our recent common experiences with regard to ....well, I think you know!

At the moment, I feel slight symptoms of wikistress, but before I retreat to less stressful articles, maybe I could ask you for the good deed to look at Talk:Finnic and see if you can shape an opinion of your own. As a linguist, who (as far as I understand) are unconnected to the ethnic disconcord that surely lies beneath the lack of understanding between different wikipedians there, your input would be very much appreciated regardless if your stance is more or less in opposition to mine! ...and regardless of if you put your opinion on that talk page, or if you are a careful man who put it here, on your own talk page. :-)))

Best regards! /Tuomas 10:48, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your message. Regarding our recent common experiences, I've stepped back because I felt it was getting on my nerves. I also didn't like the fact that it did cost me several hours of trying to talk, to be cooperative and civil, even to help the guy — apparently all to no avail (though I see that in the end, the article seems to benefit from the whole affair). Having stepped back, however, and having read your views of Wikipedia, and having thought about it some time now, I realize that I could have been more patient. In particular, I shouldn't have reverted so quickly; that sort of encouraged the POV-pusher to 'be bold'. Anyhow, it has been instructive.
 * As for the Talk:Finnic thing, I'm not sure if I understand the issue. I am really not at home in the history of the Scandinavian countries, and I surely can't say a word about subleties like Finnic/Finnish/Finlandic and all that. As I take it, the issue is that Finnic for some people refers to all people that speak (languages closely related to) the Finnic language, while according to others, it refers to the Finnic/sh people, not including the (genetically more distant) Sami peoples and the like. This seems to me to be a matter of terminology. As Maureen suggests, the solution could thus be to mention both views.
 * In one of your replies on that page you state that `The enigma remains how come the Saami came to retain a mitochondrial gene pool distinct from that of other European populations, but share a language and some mythology with some of these populations.' As a linguist, and fully ignorant of the history of that area (I want to stress that), I can't help to think about contact phenomena like language shift, which sometimes can blur the seemingly straightforward language-etnicity relation considerably. As for a shared mythology, I'm not at all surprised by that; mythology is often of a very regional nature, transcending ethnic borders easily (which is an extremely interesting phenomenon in itself). An example would be the West-African character of 'Anansi the spider', which is widespread in the oral literature of widely diverging peoples and languages.
 * That's what I have to say for now. You may copy this reaction (if it is worth anything) to the relevant talk page; I won't place it there myself since I am not even sure if I have scratched the surface of the issue. Kind regards!  — mark ✎ 01:52, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I was wondering if you have considered putting up basic information in the appropriate languages at for example the Ewe Wikipedia (here)? Also, your contributions to linguistics articles on en.wikipedia are excellent...--Node 00:55, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Hi Mark :),
 * I'm afraid I'm not fluent enough in Ewe to do something for its Wikipedia, although I might try in the future. Likewise, I have registered on the Swahili Wikipedia (and, for that matter, on the Dutch one), but to keep things under control, I've decided to focus on the English Wikipedia for now.  — mark ✎ 12:19, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Spatial tense
After reading your commentary and its replies on Spatial tense, I note that the number of actual references to natural languages with a spatial tense remains at one.

And considering that we've been pressured to reduce the number of Germanic tenses to two and dismiss all the others as "aspects" simply because they require auxiliary verbs (which I suppose means that isolating languages can only have ONE tense, right?), it seems in the spirit of the current wiki POV to  narrow the version of "tense" as much as possible.

Therefore, do you think it would be objectionable if I removed the "or place" from "Grammatical tense is a way languages express the time or place at which an event described by a sentence occurs."? I know this may be introducing (miniscule) systemic bias, but to me it's just confusing.

What do you think?

Steverapaport 13:46, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I fully concur. As I have argued on Talk:Spatial tense, talking about 'spatial tense' makes as little sense as talking about 'temporal place', since the very notion of tense has the connotation of time. So removing the 'or place' seems to be a good start.
 * Regarding Archi language, I suspect that the 'spatial tense' thing is just a label for the way Archi handles location. But I have to look up some references on that.
 * As for the tense/aspect and auxiliary verbs thing, I have to think about that. Part of the problem is the fact that the notion tense in itself is somewhat LPOV due to its origins in Indo-European linguistics. However, it has been picked up by linguists and has been used commonly and cross-linguistically for, indeed, roughly 'the way languages express the time at which an event occurs'. As I take it, the definition as it is going to be does not exclude isolating languages from having more than one tense. The key is to avoid including any language-specific features in the definition. That's actually one of the other problems of Spatial tense I pointed out, namely the fact that it was defined as 'something modifying the verb' — which indeed only makes sense in the case of inflecting languages. In Grammatical tense, we should avoid problems like that.
 * On a sidenote, I think that 'requiring an auxiliary' is not a very good reason to dismiss something as a tense cross-linguistically, but language-internal it could be a good reason nevertheless.
 * I hope I'm not just muddling things up...  — mark ✎ 14:20, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

antifinougric page
Can you please explain, why do you say, the critique of the finnougric theory page is to be deleted? Did you read it? You don't like something in that? Do you have arguments? Thanks. Antifinnugor 20:13, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Hi Antifinnugor. First, of course I have read it before voting. I have one very clear reason to vote for delete:
 * This 'criticism' is not notable enough to get its own page. You have managed (with significant help of others) to produce at most three relevant academic references and you have provided the names of just one linguist endorsing the criticism (Marcantonio) and of one semi-linguist with an obvious political agenda (Maracz).

 * This is defamation. Dr Marácz is a linguist, and not a semi whatever. He knows very well, what he is speaking about. Antifinnugor 08:25, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * First, this makes the criticism extremely shallow (and it is, in fact, conclusively debunked in one of the other references). Second, this makes the criticism not notable enough to get its own article; it is scarcely worth a short paragraph in the relevant article.
 * As I said before, I'm not particularly attached to the Finno-Ugric language family. I'm only concerned with the quality of Wikipedia.  — mark ✎ 22:54, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * So am I. The tables, containing nonsense (wrong words, English words in Hungarian columns) show the quality, how finnougrists "argue". The remark at the head of a table containing 7-10 not too similar words stating, there are 200 cognates (but nobody saw them yet), the listing of wrong facts (cases in Hungarian are the child of phantasy), the continous deletion of the basic word list show the value off the finno-ugric theory, and how finnougrists work. Therefore I think, it is not a bad idea to handle the critic of this "theory" on a different page, that should be linked with the original page. What do you think now? Antifinnugor 09:45, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I think that you are repeating yourself without wondering why no-one tries to 'refute' your 'arguments' anymore. And I concur with Mustafaa below.  — mark ✎ 01:00, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * dingemans, I could not see any senseless answer or valid point in the discussion with you. Hate and defamation are nice, but do not help you. What you do or say, has no value of any kind. Antifinnugor 20:41, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * You can call me Mark. I do not hate you. I might know Maracz better than you do. Maracz is a doctor, employed by the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, working at the department of Eastern Europe and East-European history. By definition, Maracz is NOT a linguist. To say that he is not a linguist is therefore not defamation; it is simply stating facts.  — mark ✎ 21:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * By "nobody", AFU apparently means "himself". All he needs to do is go to any half-decent university library, or shell out for the books cited himself. But some people just can't be bothered. - Mustafaa 18:15, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * mustafa, paper is patient. In books there are lot of intelligent things, and lots of stupid things. What counts, are facts. Real logic and real living arguments are, what is needed here. You are one, who really delivers material, (that in fact proves, that I am right), but your hatred and your wild deletions shadow your achievments. Sorry for you. You would be otherwise a respectable partner for sensible discussion. Antifinnugor 20:41, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Regardless of whether you are right or wrong, you seem to have failed to understand some crucial principles of Wikipedia. From this reply, it seems that you are not aware of the No original research guideline (the alternative is that you are simply ignoring it, but I don't think you do). I have earlier pointed you to other relevant Wikipedia policies, such as No personal attacks and Cite sources.

I will not spend any more time replying to someone who has solely come here to impose his point of view without taking some time to find out how Wikipedia really works. Don't waste your time here. Call it whatever you want; I'm off. Good luck. — mark ✎ 21:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I think you've seriously misunderstood some crucial principles of Wikipedia. First of all, principles are not rules or laws, if it is reasonable, we can and we must not respect them. For example, if secondary resources are obsolate and off-to-date. It's not original research. Please if you don't know enough on a topic, don't intervene. Thanks: Gubbubu 16:43, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I presume Gubbubu is talking to AFU. - Mustafaa 17:02, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * no, I suppose he means, if an editor (afu) knows that everything experts have written about a subject is utter crap, we should of course to be glad to have such an enlightened contributor and believe everything he says. dab (ᛏ) 18:00, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

in recognition...

Thanks so much for creating the maps for Lord's Resistance Army and Acholiland. I've been happily putting them into other relevant articles. For your efforts on the maps, and for finally changing the CSB collaboration, I give you a Sunflower of Thanks. BanyanTree 20:05, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * (First of all, some petals of this Sunflower should go to Xed since he emailed me if I could update the collaboration if I had any sparetime.)
 * Wow! I'm surprised and very thankful. It was very nice and instructive to create the maps with the help of your sources and suggestions. Of course they wouldn't be worth much without the actual articles they are illustrating — which are, incidentally, for the most part your work. Maybe we should share this one. Many thanks again! Nice working with you!  — mark ✎ 01:00, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mr. Lucky and the Gamblers

Mr. Lucky and the Gamblers were an American garage rock band that originated from Newport, Oregon. The band was founded by Mike Parker (Mr. Lucky) and 'Bud' Garrison in 1964 and soon became one of the most popular groups in the Pacific Northwest, with fans throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Northern California and Western Canada. Their popularity was due to their hard-driving sound and by the success of several recordings. "Take a Look at Me", which received considerable air time on local radio stations, was their most notable contribution. The band's popularity waned in the late 1960s when 'hippie' music started becoming popular. Mike Parker left the band in 1967 and the band dissolved about a year later.

In the decades to follow, "Take a Look at Me", "I Told You Once Before", "Alice Designs" and "You Don't Need Me", have appeared on at least a dozen compilation CDs that are still available on the market, such as Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 7. Their songs still appear on radio station play lists and a following has even migrated to clubs and radio stations in Germany in recent years.

In the summer of 2001, the band reunited for a one-time performance at the annual Seymour picnic at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon. Many of the core members are still alive and well, although only a couple are still active as performing musicians.

F. Lee Bailey

Francis Lee Bailey Jr. (June 10, 1933 – June 3, 2021), better known to the general public as F. Lee Bailey, was an American criminal defense attorney. Bailey's name first came to nationwide attention for his involvement in the second murder trial of Sam Sheppard, a surgeon accused of murdering his wife. He later served as the attorney in a number of other high-profile cases, such as Albert DeSalvo, a suspect in the "Boston Strangler" murders, heiress Patty Hearst's trial for bank robberies committed during her involvement with the Symbionese Liberation Army, and US Army Captain Ernest Medina for the My Lai Massacre. He was a member of the "Dream Team" in the trial of former football player O. J. Simpson, who was accused of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. He is considered one of the greatest lawyers of the 20th century.

For most of his career, he was licensed in Florida and in Massachusetts, where he was disbarred in 2001 and 2003 respectively for misconduct, while defending Claude Louis DuBoc, who had been accused of the drug trafficking of marijuana. Following his disbarment, he moved to Maine, where he ran a consulting firm. He later sat for the bar exam in the state of Maine, though in 2013 he was denied a law license by the Maine Board of Bar Examiners, a decision Bailey appealed in 2013 where the appellate court overturned the initial license denial. The Board of Examiners appealed the appellate court decision, and in 2014 the original denial was upheld by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.

Early life
Bailey was born June 10, 1933, in Waltham, Massachusetts. His mother, Grace (Mitchell), was a teacher and nursery school director, and his father, Francis Lee Bailey Sr., was an advertising salesman. His parents divorced when he was ten. Bailey attended Cardigan Mountain School and then Kimball Union Academy, where he graduated in 1950. He studied at Harvard College but dropped out in 1952 to join the United States Navy and later transferred to the Marine Corps. He was commissioned as an officer and, following flight training, received his naval aviator wings in 1954. He served as a jet fighter pilot, and then began to serve as a squadron legal officer at Cherry Point, North Carolina.

He briefly returned to Harvard before being admitted to Boston University School of Law in 1957, which accepted his military experience in lieu of the requirement for students to have completed at least three years of undergraduate college courses. While attending Boston University, he achieved the highest grade point average in the school's history. He graduated with an LL.B. in 1960 and was ranked first in his class.

Sam Sheppard
In 1954, Sam Sheppard was found guilty in the murder of his wife Marilyn in a case that was one of the inspirations for the television series The Fugitive (1963–1967). In the 1960s, Bailey, at the time a resident of Rocky River, Ohio, was hired by Sheppard's brother Stephen to help in Sheppard's appeal. In 1966, Bailey successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court that Sheppard had been denied due process, winning a re-trial. A not guilty verdict followed. This case established Bailey's reputation as a skilled defense attorney and was the first of many high-profile cases.

"Boston Strangler"
In 1964, Bailey defended Albert DeSalvo for a series of sexual assaults known as the "Green Man" or "Measuring Man" incidents. Bailey later said that DeSalvo confessed that he had also committed the "Boston Strangler" murders. DeSalvo was found guilty of the assaults, but was never tried for the murders.

Carl A. Coppolino
Carl A. Coppolino was accused of the July 30, 1963, murder of retired Army Col. William Farber, his neighbor and the husband of Marjorie Farber, with whom Coppolino was having an affair. He was also accused of the August 28, 1965, murder of his wife, Carmela Coppolino. The prosecution claimed that Coppolino injected his victims with a paralyzing drug called succinylcholine chloride, which at the time was undetectable due to limited forensic technology. Bailey successfully defended Coppolino in the New Jersey case over the death of Farber in December 1966. However, Coppolino was convicted of murdering his wife in Florida. He was paroled after serving 12 years of his sentence.

George Edgerly
Bailey attended Keeler Polygraph Institute in Chicago, where he became an expert in lie detector tests. It was in this capacity that he was enlisted by the defense in the case of George Edgerly, a mechanic charged with murdering his wife. When Edgerly's attorney was incapacitated by a heart attack, Bailey took over the defense. Edgerly—whose story was one of several that served as the basis for the television series and film The Fugitive—was acquitted.

Ernest Medina
Bailey successfully defended U.S. Army Captain Ernest Medina in his 1971 court-martial for responsibility in the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War. Medina was court-martialed for allegedly allowing the men in the company he commanded to murder My Lai non-combatants. Medina claimed that he never gave orders to kill non-combatants, and that his men killed non-combatants of their own volition. Medina also testified that he was unable to stop the massacre because he did not become aware of it until it was too late. Medina additionally denied personally killing any Vietnamese non-combatants at My Lai, with the exception of a young woman whom two soldiers testified that they had found hiding in a ditch. When she emerged with her hands held up, Medina shot her because, as he claimed at his court-martial, he thought she had a grenade. Medina was acquitted, and subsequently left the Army. He later worked at an Enstrom Helicopter Corporation plant in which Bailey had an ownership stake.

Patricia Hearst
The prosecution of Patty Hearst, a newspaper heiress who had committed armed bank robberies after being kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), was one of Bailey's defeats. In her autobiography, Hearst described his closing argument as "disjointed" and said that she suspected he had been drinking. During his closing argument, Bailey spilled a glass of water on his pants. Hearst was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison. She served 22 months before her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. She was pardoned by President Bill Clinton in 2001.

While Hearst was convicted at trial, Bailey did protect her from a further death-penalty prosecution. On April 28, 1975, members of the SLA had robbed a Crocker Bank branch in Carmichael, California. Hearst drove one of the getaway cars. A customer was killed when one of the robbers' gun discharged. The Symbionese Liberation Army members participating in the robbery were therefore subject to the death penalty under the felony murder rule. Bailey negotiated with prosecutors for Hearst to receive use immunity in exchange for her testimony about the Carmichael robbery, thus protecting her from a possible death sentence.

As Criminal Defendant
A 1982 case found Bailey in the role of criminal defendant rather than defense attorney. The case was itself considered notable as one of the longest running drunk driving cases in California history. Bailey was acquitted but may have faced legal defense bills of $100,000 along with a $50 fine for the lesser infraction of running a stop sign. He claimed that, despite the high cost of his defense, he wanted to fight the case not only for himself but for the "little man" who might not be able to afford such high legal costs. He also claimed that, despite Hearst's accusations to the contrary, he did not have a drinking problem when it came to defending clients. One member of Bailey's defense team, Robert Shapiro, went on to work with Bailey on the defense of O.J. Simpson.

Claude DuBoc
In 1994, while the O. J. Simpson case was being tried, Bailey and Robert Shapiro represented Claude DuBoc, who in that case was found guilty of the drug trafficking of marijuana. In a plea bargain agreement with the U.S. Attorney, DuBoc agreed to turn over his assets to the U.S. government. These included a large block of stock in BioChem, worth approximately $6 million at the time of the plea deal. When the government sought to collect the stock, it had increased in value to $20 million. Bailey said he was entitled to the appreciation in payment of his legal fees. Since he had used the stock as collateral for loans, he was unable to turn over the stock to the government. In 1996, Bailey was sent to prison for contempt. After 44 days at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee, Bailey's brother succeeded in raising the money to enable him to return the stock, and he was freed.

O. J. Simpson
Bailey joined the O. J. Simpson defense team just before the preliminary hearing. Bailey held numerous press conferences to discuss the progress of the case. In a press conference prior to his cross-examination of Mark Fuhrman, Bailey said, "Any lawyer in his right mind who would not be looking forward to cross-examining Mark Fuhrman is an idiot." His famous cross-examination of Fuhrman is considered to be the key to Simpson's acquittal. In front of a predominantly Black jury, Bailey got Fuhrman to claim, "Marine to Marine", he never used the word nigger to describe Blacks at any time during the previous 10 years, a claim the defense team later found evidence to refute. Ultimately, the statement that Bailey drew from the detective forced Fuhrman to plead the Fifth in his next courtroom appearance. Bailey also attracted minor attention for keeping a silver flask on the defense table, which fellow defense attorney Robert Kardashian claimed contained only coffee.

Bailey published a book about the Simpson trial shortly before his death, titled The Truth About the O.J. Simpson Trial: By the Architect of the Defense.

William and Chantal McCorkle
British citizen Chantal McCorkle, along with her American husband William, were tried and convicted in 1998 in Florida for her part in a financial fraud. The McCorkles sold kits, advertised in infomercials, purporting to show buyers how to get rich by buying property in foreclosures and government auctions. Among the grounds for their conviction was their representation in the infomercials that they owned luxury automobiles and airplanes (actually rented for the commercials), and their use of purported testimonials from satisfied customers, who were actually paid actors.

Chantal, represented by Mark Horwitz, and her husband, represented by Bailey, were each originally sentenced to over 24 years in federal prison under mandatory sentencing laws. After two appeals, the McCorkles' sentences were reduced in 2006 to 18 years.

Korean Air Lines Flight 007
A strike to Bailey's credibility came when he took on the case of aggrieved families of passengers on Korean Air Lines Flight 007, which was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1983. Though he made several public statements attesting to his commitment to the case, his law firm put in a much smaller number of hours on the case than did the two other law firms working on it. He aggravated other clients by traveling to Libya to discuss defending two men who were charged with blowing up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, even after undertaking the cause of the relatives of that bombing's victims. To the latter, the expedition to Tripoli was a clear conflict of interest; Bailey denied that he intended to defend the Libyans, though a letter he had written to the U.S. Government suggested otherwise.

Koscot Interplanetary
Koscot Interplanetary and Dare to be Great were multi-level marketing companies owned by Glenn W. Turner. In 1973, Turner, Bailey and eight others were indicted by a federal grand jury on conspiracy and mail fraud charges. The indictment said that Bailey had appeared in a film made for Turner's organization and had appeared with Turner at several rallies. A nine-month trial ended in a hung jury. Charges were then dropped against Bailey. In 1975, Turner pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor charge of violating securities laws and was given probation.

"Paul is dead"
Bailey was featured in an RKO television special in which he conducted a mock trial, examining various expert witnesses on the subject of the "Paul is dead" rumor referring to Beatle Paul McCartney. One of the experts was Fred LaBour, whose article in The Michigan Daily had been instrumental in the spread of the urban legend. LaBour told Bailey during a pre-show meeting he had made up the whole thing. Bailey responded, "Well, we have an hour of television to do. You're going to have to go along with this." The program aired locally in New York City on November 30, 1969, and was never re-aired.

Television career
In 1967, Bailey became host of the short-lived ABC television series Good Company, a series in which he would interview celebrities in their homes in a format similar to Edward R. Murrow's Person to Person. In 1983, Bailey again became a television host, when he was named the host of a short-lived syndicated television show called Lie Detector. Guests were questioned by Bailey and were then submitted to a polygraph test.

Drunk driving case
On February 28, 1982, Bailey was arrested for drunk driving in California. He was acquitted, thanks in large part to the defense conducted by Robert Shapiro, who employed Bailey on the O. J. Simpson criminal defense team 12 years later. The drunk driving trial so enraged Bailey that he wrote a book, How to Protect Yourself Against Cops in California and Other Strange Places, which alleged serious abuses by police and argued that driving under the influence of alcohol had become "a number, not a condition". He furthermore asserted that political pressure had motivated police to go after celebrities in particular.

Disbarment
Bailey's high public profile came both as a result of the cases he took on and his own actions. In 2001, he was disbarred in the state of Florida, with reciprocal disbarment in Massachusetts on April 11, 2003. The Florida disbarment was the result of his handling of shares in a pharmaceutical company named Biochem Pharma during his representation of marijuana trafficker Claude DuBoc. Bailey had transferred a large portion of DuBoc's assets into his own accounts. Among these assets was a stock valued at about $5.9 million, which was supposed to be included in the forfeiture of assets that DuBoc made as part of a plea bargain.

The stock had been held by Bailey because it would be sold immediately if it came into government possession, but it was expected to rise dramatically in value. Bailey later refused to turn it over, saying that it was payment of his legal fees and not part of DuBoc's asset forfeiture. In addition, Bailey said that the stock was collateral for loans that he had received, and so could not be sold until the loans were repaid.

Bailey's defense of his actions was rejected by the court; the stock rose in value to about $20 million, and Bailey then argued that, if he turned over the stock so that it could be sold, he was entitled to keep the difference between what it was valued at when he received it and its new, higher price. After Bailey was imprisoned for six weeks in 1996 for contempt of court, his brother raised the money that enabled Bailey to turn the stock over to the government, and he was released. He was later found guilty of seven counts of attorney misconduct by the Florida Supreme Court, and in 2001 he was disbarred. Massachusetts disbarred Bailey two years later.

In early 2003, a judge ordered Bailey to pay $5 million in taxes and penalties on income connected with the Duboc case. The judge later reversed the decision, although Bailey still had an unpaid tax bill of nearly $2 million, which he disputed. In March 2005, Bailey filed to regain his law license in Massachusetts but failed.

Application to practice law in Maine
In 2009, Bailey moved to Yarmouth, Maine, where he was a partner in the Bailey & Elliott consulting business with his girlfriend Debbie Elliott. In 2012, Bailey passed the Maine bar examination and applied for a law license; the Maine Board of Bar Examiners voted 5–4 to deny his application. The majority said Bailey had not proved by "clear and convincing evidence that he possesses the requisite honesty and integrity" to practice law. Bailey appealed, petitioning the Maine Supreme Judicial Court to review the denial. In March 2013, a two-day hearing was held by Supreme Judicial Court Justice Donald G. Alexander in which Bailey's suitability to practice law was examined. Justice Alexander filed a 57-page ruling on April 19, 2013, stating that Bailey "was almost fit to practice law, except for an outstanding tax debt of nearly $2 million". Bailey was allowed to move for reconsideration of the decision "if [he] offer[ed] a plan to repay the nearly $2 million he owes in back taxes to the federal government". Initially, the government had claimed that Bailey owed $4 million in back taxes. However, representing himself before the tax court, Bailey was successful in having the amount owed reduced to $2 million.

In June 2013, Bailey's attorney, Peter DeTroy, filed a motion for reconsideration of the decision. After oral arguments were heard on the reconsideration, Justice Alexander granted the motion, stating that "[a] general survey of the state precedent on the debt payment issue suggests that the existence of a debt, by itself, may not result in a finding of lack of good moral character .... Rather, findings of failure of proof of good moral character tend to be based on misconduct regarding effort—or lack of effort—to pay the debt, or misconduct referencing the debt payment obligation in the bar admission process." This cleared the way for Bailey to obtain a Maine law license. However, Maine's Board of Bar Examiners appealed Justice Alexander's decision to the entire Supreme Court, minus Alexander.

On April 10, 2014, the Maine Supreme Court voted 4-to-2 to side with the Bar Examiners and reverse Justice Alexander's decision, which continued to prevent Bailey from practicing law in Maine.

In 2016, Bailey lived in Maine and operated the Bailey & Elliott consulting business.

Personal life
Bailey was married four times. His first marriage, to Florence Gott, ended in divorce in 1961; his second marriage, to Froma Portley, lasted until their divorce in 1972; his third marriage, to Lynda Hart, lasted from 1972 until their divorce in 1980; and his fourth marriage, to Patricia Shiers, lasted from 1985 until her death in 1999. He had two sons from his first marriage and another son from his second marriage.

Death
In approximately 2019, in his mid 80's and in the final years of his life, Bailey moved to Georgia to be near to his son Scott, who had assisted Bailey in several of his business ventures over the years. After a period of ill health, he died of an unspecified cause in a hospice center in Atlanta on June 3, 2021, just one week prior to his 88th birthday. He was buried at the Georgia National Cemetery, a veterans cemetery in Canton, Georgia. His epitaph reads "The defense never rests."

In popular culture
Bailey was portrayed by Nathan Lane in the 2016 miniseries The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

In Ezra Edelman's 2016 documentary O.J.: Made in America, Bailey is featured heavily through interviews and archive footage of the Simpson murder trial, particularly his cross-examination of Mark Fuhrman. In his interview, Bailey continued to assert that Fuhrman deliberately planted the incriminating glove on Simpson's estate in an attempt to frame him. When asked by Edelman what motive Fuhrman would have, Bailey responded that Simpson had married a white woman, which he described as "a capital offense in Fuhrman's eyes".

Bailey is portrayed by Luke Kirby in the 2023 film Boston Strangler.

Francis Bailey (publisher)

Francis Bailey (September 3, 1744 – November 1, 1817) was an early American printer, publisher and journalist in Pennsylvania from 1771 to 1807.

He began publication of the Lancaster Almanac in Lancaster, PA in 1771 and published the United States Magazine in 1778. In 1781, he became editor of the Freeman's Journal. In addition to printing editions of the Articles of Confederation and Thomas Paine's Common Sense, he acted as printer for Congress and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Bailey was the first printer to refer to George Washington, in print, as the Father of His Country. He was also the first to print the first official printing of the first U.S. constitution, then called The Articles of Confederation.

He was the first American publisher of the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg in 1787.

Bailey was taught the printing trade by Peter Miller in Ephrata, Lancaster county. In 1778 or 1779 he removed to Philadelphia where he published a newspaper. Eventually he returned to Lancaster. Bailey's daughter-in-law managed a press shop in Philadelphia in 1818.

Talk:Kunsthistorisches Museum

Untitled
I have started by adding the list of pictures. The list is identical to the German page as of today, with english titels as the museum uses them in their presentation. --hans 12:21, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Procession to Calvary
The following comment was anonymously placed into the article; I've brought it here, since clearly this is talk page stuff, not article stuff.

"Note: The painting, 'The Procession to Calvary' (Bruguel) appears to be in this museum by the means of internet sources, but when at the museum's website it appears that they DON'T have it."

Based on that, I cut the following from the list in the article, figuring that until this is sorted out an omission would be less of a problem than an incorrect inclusion.

 * "The Procession to Calvary" (Kreuztragung Christi), 1564

Could someone, possibly someone in Vienna or with direct knowledge of the museum, sort this out? Thanks. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:34, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't have any particular direct knowledge of the museum, but their website does list the painting in question, from which I assume them to possess it. English / German --Stemonitis 11:06, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

 * It is at: Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna →
 * Note, this is the 1564 painting by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, not the 1602 painting by Pieter Brueghel the Younger: The Procession to Calvary →  ~:74.60.29.141 (talk) 08:57, 7 March 2013 (UTC):~

Rename?
This page also needs renaming, the title can refer to any art history museum. It needs to have " (Vienna)" or ", Vienna" added to the title.

 * Which other Kunsthistorisches Museum looms up to confuse the reader? --Wetman 21:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Their site branding is:    ~5 years later...74.60.29.141 (talk) 08:31, 7 March 2013 (UTC) ~

Zoë Baird

Zoë Eliot Baird (born June 20, 1952) is an American lawyer and Senior Counselor for Technology and Economic Growth to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. She was CEO and President of the Markle Foundation from 1998 to 2022. She is known for her role in the Nannygate matter of 1993, which arose when she was nominated by President Bill Clinton as the first woman to be Attorney General of the United States, but she withdrew her nomination when it was discovered she had hired undocumented immigrants and failed to pay Social Security taxes for them. Since 1998, she has led the Markle Foundation.

Early life and education
Baird was born in Brooklyn. She began her higher education at Shoreline Community College in Washington. She earned an A.B. with a joint degree in political science and communications and public policy, Phi Beta Kappa, in 1974 from the University of California, Berkeley, where she was a member of the Order of the Golden Bear. She earned a J.D. in 1977 from the Boalt Hall School of Law at UC Berkeley.

Career
Baird clerked for U.S. District Judge Albert C. Wollenberg from 1977 to 1978 and worked as Attorney-Advisor at the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice from 1979 to 1980. She was Associate Counsel to President of the United States Jimmy Carter from 1980 to 1981.

Baird was a partner at the law firm O'Melveny & Myers, in Washington, DC, from 1981 to 1986. She was counselor and staff executive at General Electric from 1986 to 1990. Baird was senior vice president and general counsel of Aetna from 1990 to 1996. In 1997, she served as senior research associate and senior visiting scholar at Yale Law School where she worked on the growth of terrorism.

Baird was Clinton's first unsuccessful nominee for United States Attorney General in 1993. She withdrew her name from consideration when it was learned that she had informed Clinton that she and her husband had hired undocumented immigrants to serve as her chauffeur and nanny and also not paid their Social Security taxes. Her husband had filed sponsorship papers at the time and sought the advice of counsel on paying taxes. She paid $2900 in fines for the infractions. The matter, dubbed "Nannygate", attracted intense public attention, and the question "Do you have a Zoë Baird problem?" became frequently asked of other political appointees, including subsequent candidates for attorney general.

Clinton subsequently appointed Baird to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) (1994–2000), the Commission on Roles and Capabilities of the U.S. Intelligence Community (1995) and the G-8 Digital Opportunity Task (DOT) Force (2000–02).

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld appointed Baird to the Department of Defense Technology and Privacy Advisory Committee (TAPAC) (2003–04). Baird was also a member of the National Security Agency Advisory Board Cyber Awareness and Response Panel (2010–11).

Baird has served as president of the Markle Foundation since 1998. She served on the G-8 heads of state DOT Force, which created a roadmap for developing countries' adoption of information technology, investments of development assistance, and resources to help avoid a digital divide and to get information technology into the hands of citizens in developing countries. Baird was also a member of the Global Digital Opportunity Initiative that supported the DOT Force.

Under Baird's leadership in the early 2000s, Markle focused on increasing nonprofit and developing country participation in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Internet's first official governance body, and on making that body more accountable to all Internet users.

In 2006, Markle released the Markle Connecting for Health Common Framework for Private and Secure Health Information Exchange.

Baird and former Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale served as co-chairs of the Markle Task Force on National Security in the Information Age. Task Force recommendations informed the 9/11 Commission Report and were enacted by executive order and legislation, including the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 and the Protect America Act of 2007.

Along with Starbucks chairman, president and chief executive officer Howard Schultz, Baird served as the co-chair for the Markle Initiative for America's Economic Future in a Networked World.
