Talk:Schenck v. United States

Good summary
good summary-- but paraphrase is spelled incorrectly in the second to last paragraph. sorry to be a nag.

Added Citations
I added citations/references to the quotes from the text of the Justice Holmes' opinion. --grandpa lemon 20:16, 23 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grandpa lemon (talk • contribs)

Did Brandenburg actually overrule Schenck
this is not the right info. it may have moved the clear and present danger standard to "imminent" danger, but it does not explicitly overrule the Schenck case. The article suggests that Brandenburg overturned both Whitney and Schenck, but it would be more technically accurate to say that it "narrowed" them. Schenck, surprisingly remains good law as far as I can tell.

www.chancelucky.blogspot.com

 * Brandenburg essentially overrules Schenck sub silentio. I don't think any judge could square the Court's reasoning in Brandenburg with the result reached in Schenck. But yes, you're correct in that Brandenburg only officially overrules Whitney v. California, which isn't even the most speech-restrictive precedent prior to 1969. That dubious distinction probably goes to Dennis v. United States, which the per curiam opinion actually cites to as if it's good law. But in reality, it isn't either. In trying to understand what the Supreme Court does, it is frequently necessary to look not just to what the Court says it's doing, but at what the results it reaches seem to indicate about what it's doing. SS451 17:18, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The clear and present danger test, paraphrased, is 'if the speech creates the possibility that people might oppose a law or organize to get it changed, then that speech is not protected'. Also note that false speech, either shouted or whispered, in either a crowded theater or an empty one, is not protected by the First Amendment. ( Martin | talk • contribs 11:17, 19 May 2013 (UTC))

Misquote
I have fixed the block quote (the one that contains "clear and present danger"), as everything before that actual phrase is either a rough paraphrase of the actual sentence or drawn (and paraphrased) from other parts of the opinion. I also got rid of the bolding. It's unnecessary and rather insults the intelligence of our readers to suggest that they can't identify the key phrase (which is quoted immediately above) in a fairly short sentence.

Schenck vs.United States
Brooke United States Supreme Court decision concerning whether the defendant possessed a First Amendment right to free speech against the draft during World War I. The defendant, Charles Schenck, a Socialist, had circulated a flyer to recently drafted men. The flyer, which cited the Thirteenth Amendment's provision against "involuntary servitude," exhorted the men to "assert [their] opposition to the draft," which it described as a moral wrong driven by the capitalist system. The circulars proposed peaceful resistance, such as petitioning to repeal the Conscription Act.

Schenck was charged with conspiracy to violate the Espionage Act by attempting to cause insubordination in the military and to obstruct recruitment. The Court, in a unanimous opinion written by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., held that Schenck's conviction was constitutional. The First Amendment did not protect speech encouraging insubordination, since, "[w]hen a nation is at war many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight." In other words, the court argued, the circumstances of wartime permit greater restrictions on free speech than would be allowable during peacetime.

In the opinion's most famous passage, Justice Holmes sets out the "clear and present danger" standard:

"The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent." This case is also the source of the phrase "shouting fire in a crowded theater", a paraphrase of Holmes' view that "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic."

Critics of the decision argued that a more apt analogy for Schenck's actions would have been someone getting up between the acts and declaring that there were not enough fire exits, or shouting, not falsely, but truly that there was a raging inferno inside to people about the enter the theater.

As a result of the decision, Charles Schenck spent six months in prison. The "clear and present danger" test was later strengthened to the more inclusive "bad tendency" test in "Whitney v. California". Justices Holmes and Brandeis shied from this test, but concurred with the final result. Both of these cases were later narrowed by Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), which replaced the "bad tendency" test with the "imminent lawless action" test.

Merge of article on main page suggested
No reason is listed in the talk page for the prosed change. Is ther ea link to a relevant discussion? At any rate, why do (who) other editor/s feel this case is not important enough to have its own page?Ebanony (talk) 07:24, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you misunderstood; the proposal is to merge Charles Schenck into this article, not to merge this case article somewhere else. postdlf (talk) 07:28, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparantly I did. No problem. Ok, that article you cited has almost no use at all. Looks like it should have been merged with this one a while ago.Ebanony (talk) 07:48, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It's funny, I see now that I was the one who tagged it for merging over two years ago... postdlf (talk) 14:07, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Unclear as to clear and present
The lead says

Ultimately, the case established the "clear and present danger" test, which lasted until 1927 when its strength was diminished.

The protections for speech were raised, but this way of putting it confuses that I feel.

Is Schenck's religion/ethnicity relevant...?
I may have been overlooking something, but it seemed like Schenck being "a Yiddish-speaking Jew" wasn't relevant to the case or decision. AFAIK, personal traits usually aren't mentioned in Wikipedia articles unless there's a solid connection with the article topic, so if it doesn't meet that informal hurdle, it probably doesn't belong there any more than his shoe size. (If it does and I overlooked something, ignore this post! :) —Xyzzy☥the☥Avatar 06:38, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Unsurprisingly, it's not mentioned in the Court's opinion. It's possible there is commentary somewhere that attributes his conviction in part to his ethnicity, but without any source presently cited that could provide that context (or even just verify the fact of it), it's not accomplishing anything right now to mention it in the article. postdlf (talk) 15:59, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

needlessly cryptic

 * Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote the often-cited opinion in the case, because of events that were not publicly known at the time.

The "events", I take it, being Holmes's dissent in a related case, as discussed below. I'd omit the "because" clause here: it doesn't add anything. —Tamfang (talk) 19:52, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Added Images of Leaflet
I added images of the leaflet from the official record. I think it reveals the absurdity of this oft-cited disposition. No fair minded person could say this is not protected speech under the First Amendment.—bryanlafonte (talk) 14:07, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * advising & helping some one to commit a crime is not "free" speech in 2016. It's very expensive speech. Rjensen (talk) 18:15, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Closing paragraph
In light of all the kvetching by leftist editors about "original research" and conclusions not being valid, what a surprise that none of you care that the last pararaph is just made up, with zero citations. It is not still good law, and it certainly isn't indisputably still good law;

But on the other hand, if more references, independent and reliable, can be found where it is stated also that it is one of the worst decisions of the SCOTUS, maybe it should be reinstated. Even though it may be a subjective ranking, it may reflect the opinion of legal experts throughout the country, which is useful information that has its merits of inclusion in the article. --Thinker78 (talk) 17:09, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Garbled account of Baltzer
From the Background section: "In the first case arising from this campaign to come before the Court, Baltzer v. United States, 248 U.S. 593 (1918), Schenck had signed a petition criticizing his governor's administration of the draft, threatening him with defeat at the polls. They were charged with obstructing the recruitment and enlistment service, and convicted." So was Schenck a party in Baltzer, or is this an error? Who are the "they" that were charged and convicted? JBritnell (talk) 16:19, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The defendants were "twenty‐seven socialists from a small farming community in South Dakota". I don't know if Schenck was one of them. Thinker78  (talk) 05:25, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Responding to request for feedback at WT:SCOTUS – I can't find any reliable sources connecting Schenck to the Baltzer case, which isn't too surprising since Schenck was (per our article) from Pennsylvania, not South Dakota. (This appears to be the list of 27 defendants in Baltzer, and Schenck isn't on it.) Unless anyone can find a source I'm missing, I'd suggest changing the sentence to "the defendants had signed a petition criticizing their governor's administration of the draft..." or something like that.

 * @Extraordinary Writ thanks for your prompt reply! I checked the link you provided but I couldn't find the names of the defendants. Regards, Thinker78  (talk) 20:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If you zoom in on the document, you should see "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff --vs-- Emanuel Baltzer, Gottfried Baltzer, Fritrich Leneschmidt," and a bunch of other people. Baltzer, Baltzer, Leneschmidt, and the others are the defendants. There's a similar list in this journal article, pg. 244, footnote 19. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:23, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Slogan 'Death to the Kikes'
Article about a particular use of a particular phrase, perhaps newsworthy several years ago, but just an expression now that nobody would look up.}} --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 02:40, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Individual hate slogans generally don't need their own articles. Firebug 04:39, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable phrase. Gazpacho 06:32, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, or have a limitless number of "Death to foo" or "Die, foo!" articles (surely every conceivable epithet has been used in some march, protest, or other occasion of at least passing notability). -- 8^D gab 13:23, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
 * Death to this article —Wahoofive | Talk 16:32, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not even the real slogan, it's a translation, and the article itself gives other possible translations (and frankly, "Death to the yids" is probably closer). Jayjg (talk)  03:20, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anti-semitic edits should be eliminated on sight for the good of society. --Elitcher 03:25, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, the information in the article is correct, although the slogan "Beat the kikes, save Russia" ("Bey zhidov, spasai Rossiyu") is more widespread. Yep, antisemitism is commonplace in Russia, what a shame. Grue 18:45, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't you think zhid should be "yid", not "kike"? Jayjg (talk) 20:03, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * And just out of curiousity, what is the non-pejorative Russian word for "Jew"? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 20:46, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * "Yevrey". And yes, "yid" is a better translation for "zhid". Grue 11:12, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, "yid" is a far better term, both technically and connotation-wise. When I read "Kike" it meant nothing to me, but "yid" makes me think of "Yiddish" and thus I have an idea of what the article's about. So *if* (big if!) this is to be kept, it should be renamed "Death to the Yids!" or similar. Master Thief Garrett 00:51, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article on Tatyana Sapunova is better written, researched, and NPOV. Plus the bad translation, the anti-Semitic title, and the unlikeliness of anything else ever happening involving the phrase. The phrase is not encyclopedic; the event is — and the event already has a page devoted to its protagonist, Tatyana Sapunova. So there's no reason to keep it. (I also agree with [[User:BD2412] that it's about time we devoted an article to the intricacies of "Freeze, rebel scum!")

Empirical solution of the Monty Hall problem
I doubt this is encyclopædic. Would it be more suited to WikiSource?

If it is kept I don't see why it shouldn't be merged into Monty Hall problem.
 * Nominated by Blotwell
 * Merge with Monty Hall problem. Zzyzx11 | Talk 02:43, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, Cleanup so it is less technical. The technical stuff and the PERL source code makes it more intimidating to read. Zzyzx11 | Talk 02:46, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * On second thought, Transwiki to Wikisource. Monty Hall problem already has a non-technical explanation to its solution. Zzyzx11 | Talk 07:23, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikisource – Wikipedia isn't the appropriate place for source code. (Also, consider a rewrite in a more accessible language. This problem is often studied in math curricula, and I don't think it's common for math students to learn Perl.) android↔talk 04:13, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Send the source code to Wikisource, but mention empirical testing in the Monty Hall article (not necessarily this solution) and redirect. Meelar (talk) 07:26, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki. Megan1967 08:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think something like this would be very useful in Monty Hall problem as a last resort to settle doubt. However, it is too long to merge as is. I've written my own version of the concept and will post it in Monty Hall problem. Gazpacho 09:19, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

List of Catholic dioceses in Italy

The following is the List of the Catholic dioceses in Italy. , the Catholic Church in Italy is divided into sixteen ecclesiastical regions. While they are similar to the 20 civil regions of the Italian state, there are some differences. Most ecclesiastical regions are in turn divided into a number of ecclesiastical provinces. The provinces are in turn divided into a number of dioceses. The sovereign state of Vatican City is part of the metropolitan province of Rome. A metropolitan bishop exercises a degree of leadership over a group of dioceses that are loosely subject (suffragan) to the care of the metropolitan see. This list excludes those archdioceses, dioceses and ecclesiastical territories that are immediately subject to the Holy See.

There are 227 sees ('particular churches'), most of which are dioceses led by a bishop. A diocese that is led by an archbishop is known as an archdiocese. There are 40 Metropolitan archdioceses which serve as the seat of an ecclesiastical province. This number includes the Holy See and the Patriarchate of Venice. There are also four archdioceses which are non-metropolitan, having been demoted by papal decree. This brings the number of archbishops in Italy and Vatican City to 44 (i.e. 40 + 4).

All the sees belong to the Latin Church apart from three Eastern Catholic sees of the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church that use the Byzantine Rite in the Albanian language. All sees of the Latin Church use the Roman Rite apart from the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Milan, which mainly uses the Ambrosian Rite.

Jerrel Wilson

Jerrel Douglas Wilson (October 4, 1941 – April 9, 2005), nicknamed "Thunderfoot", was an American football punter who played for 16 seasons, 15 of them with the Kansas City Chiefs, in the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL). Wilson played college football for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. He was selected to three Pro Bowls. Wilson was elected to the Chiefs Hall of Fame in 1988. He was selected in the 17th round of the 1963 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams and in the 11th round of the 1963 AFL draft by the Chiefs. He is the only punter to be a leader in punting yards for a season in multiple leagues.

Professional career
His punts were high, booming shots that arched far down the field, potent weapons in the war for field position. Wilson seemed to have the explosiveness of dynamite in his foot, hence the more-than-appropriate nickname of "Thunderfoot". The Southern Mississippi alum was the Chiefs' punter for a team record 15 seasons and is considered one of the best ever to play in the game.

Selected in the 11th round of Kansas City's much heralded 1963 AFL Draft that brought in Hall of Fame members Buck Buchanan and Bobby Bell and fellow Chiefs Hall of Famer Ed Budde. Wilson is tied with fellow punter Dustin Colquitt for longest tenured players in franchise history. He retired with multiple team records including a franchise-record 1,014 punts during his career, highest average yardage in a career with 43.6, in a season with 46.1, in a game with 56.5. Wilson owns the NFL record for most seasons leading the league in punting average with four, leading in 1965, 1968, 1972 and 1973.

Hall of Fame head coach Hank Stram said that Wilson "made other people aware of how important the kicking game was at a time when special teams were not given special consideration. I'm prejudiced, but he's the best punter I ever saw. He'll go down in history as the best kicker in the NFL."

Wilson had four career punts of over 70 yards, which included a league leading 72-yard boot in his rookie year. He was named to three Pro Bowls in three consecutive years from 1970 to 1972. Wilson was also a reserve running back for the Chiefs and early in his career, accumulating 53 yards on 22 carries spread out over seven seasons. To close his career, Wilson played the 1978 season for the New England Patriots. He was the first player in football history with 1,000 punts, and he still ranks 19th all-time in punts.

Wilson said, regarding his punting style, "The way I attack the football, every time I hit it, I try to bust it, unless I'm around the 50. Then I hit it high.  Basically, my power comes from everything.  I try to snap everything I have in my body, my hips, knees, everything."

In December 2019, Wilson was named as a finalist in the special teams category of the NFL 100th Anniversary Team celebrating the best players of the first 100 years of the league.

Death
Wilson died of cancer on April 9, 2005, in Bronson, Texas.

This is linked to from Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). Impossible to verify, because Google comes up empty on "Battle of Western Hupeh" (or Hubei, the modern spelling).

Since I've Been Loving You

"Since I've Been Loving You" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in 1970 on the album Led Zeppelin III.

Overview
"Since I've Been Loving You" was one of the first songs prepared for the Led Zeppelin III album. The song was recorded live in the studio with very little overdubbing. It was reportedly the hardest to record.

John Paul Jones played Hammond organ on the song, using the bass pedals instead of a bass guitar. John Bonham's preferred drum pedal, the Ludwig Speed King model 201, squeaks during the recording, and has been called the "Squeak King".

The opening and closing lyrics of "Since I've Been Loving You" are nearly identical to the 1968 Moby Grape song "Never". The song is a slow blues in the key of C minor.

Personnel
According to Jean-Michel Guesdon and Philippe Margotin:

 * Robert Plant – vocals
 * Jimmy Page – guitars
 * John Paul Jones – bass pedals, organ
 * John Bonham – drums

Reception and accolades
In a contemporary review of Led Zeppelin III, Lester Bangs of Rolling Stone wrote that the track "represents the obligatory slow and lethally dull seven-minute blues jam." Robert Christgau was more enthusiastic in Newsday; "with John Paul Jones providing a great thick wall of organ behind Plant and Page", he regarded it as "the ultimate power blues".

Years later, guitarist Joe Satriani enthused: "'Since I've Been Loving You' was a perfect example of taking a blues structure but striking out on your own. They were breaking ground, not copying. I love that Page would always just go for it. Some other guitarist might have better technique, but what Page did would always trump it because the spirit was so overwhelming. Whatever he did would turn into a technique." Audio engineer Terry Manning called it "The best rock guitar solo of all time."

There is a slight mixup in the writeup which I am not qualified to correct. Jessop's innings at Bradford was in 1900 while he became Wisden Cricketer of the year in 1898. So those two are not directly related.

Cheltenham FC
I can find no evidence to support the claim that Jessop played for Cheltenham Town. I have good evidence that he played for "The Casuals".

I don't know anything about this but looked around. Though they enterered the FA cup and turned professional only in the 1930s, according to the club website, they were in existence since 1887. The club's site also mentions that Jessop played for them. His Wisden obit says only that he played for Gloucestershire CFC.

Vinko Puljić

Vinko Puljić (born 8 September 1945) is a Bosnian prelate of the Catholic Church who has been a cardinal since 1994. He was the archbishop of Vrhbosna from 1991 to 2022.

Early life and education
The twelfth of thirteen children, Vinko Puljić was born in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina (then part of Yugoslavia), to Ivan and Kaja Puljić. His mother died when he was three-years-old, and his father then remarried. In addition to his family, young Vinko's spiritual formation was deeply influenced by the Trappist Mariastern Abbey, located not far from his native village. One of the monks helped Vinko's father to send his son to the minor seminary of Zagreb. Father Ante Artner sold his motorbike and gave the proceeds to Vinko's father, who did not have enough money to pay his board there. Vinko then studied philosophy and theology at the major seminary of Đakovo.

Priesthood
Puljić was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Stjepan Bauerlein on 29 June 1970, and then served as a chaplain in the Diocese of Banja Luka until 1973, whence he became an official of the diocesan curia. He was a parish priest in Sasina from June to November 1973, and in Ravska from 1973 to 1978. In 1978, he was named spiritual director of the minor seminary of Zadar. During this time, he also served as a confessor at a Benedictine monastery and organized spiritual retreats for priests, seminarians, and nuns.

In 1987, he returned to the Diocese of Banja Luka, where he served as a parish priest in Bosanska Gradiška. He was later transferred to Sarajevo in 1990 as vice-rector of the Sarajevo major seminary.

Episcopal ministry
On 19 November 1990 Puljić was appointed Archbishop of Vrhbosna by Pope John Paul II. He thus became the sixth archbishop of that see after the reconstruction of the ordinary ecclesiastical hierarchy in 1881 after the Ottoman occupational rule which had lasted more than four centuries. He received his episcopal consecration on 6 January 1991 from John Paul II himself, with archbishops Giovanni Battista Re and Justin Francis Rigali serving as co-consecrators, at St. Peter's Basilica.

Puljić was created Cardinal-Priest of S. Chiara a Vigna Clara by John Paul II in the consistory of 26 November 1994. He was 49 years old when he became the youngest member of the College of Cardinals. On 18 October 2001 he was invested as bailiff of the Grand Cross of Honour and Devotion in the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Puljić was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 2005 papal conclave, which selected Pope Benedict XVI and in the 2013 papal conclave, which elected Pope Francis.

He served as president of the Bishops' Conference of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1995 to 2002, and again from 2005 to 2010. On 18 September 2012 Pope Benedict XVI named him as a Synod Father of the 13th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops which was held in October 2012.

Role during the Bosnian War
When the Bosnian War broke out in 1992, Puljić immediately became involved in helping the thousands of refugees and exiles, mobilizing all the forces of the local Church. During the war, he frequently risked his life while making pastoral trips to his parishes, so he was imprisoned during one visit for twelve hours by the Serbian military in Ilijaš, running a serious risk when he rode in a United Nations Protection Force tank to Vareš. John Paul II once said to him, "When I imposed hands on you...to consecrate you in the office of Pastor of the Church of Sarajevo, I had no idea that very shortly your cross would be so heavy and your cup so bitter."

Status of Međugorje
Puljić, speaking at the 2004 assembly of the Synod of Bishops, said that the unity of the Church is threatened by the disobedience of the Franciscan monks serving at Međugorje, who "impose their own points of view". In 2006, the Episcopal Conference of Bosnia and Herzegovina considered setting up a commission to examine the alleged Marian apparitions. He later served on the commission chaired by Cardinal Ruini.

Relations with Muslims
Puljić has said that before the war, relations with Muslims were very good, but that in recent times, the situation has somewhat deteriorated. The first sign was the arrival of humanitarian aid from Arab countries. It was distributed only to Muslims, while at the same time it was prohibited to give it to Christians. In 2012, Cardinal Puljić warned about the spreading of Wahhabism in Southeastern Europe, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina, stating that the state authorities are not capable of preventing it. At the same time he warned about the discrimination of Catholics in the Bosnian society, demanding equal treatment for Catholics in employment, education, and other areas. He confirmed that he will continue to try to establish a dialogue and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was disrupted by the recent war in the country.

Women and marriage
In May 2016, Puljić drew controversy after appealing to women in a sermon in Zadar, Croatia not to have sexual intercourse before marriage so that they wouldn't become a "štraca", which is a local slang word for a "whore". The word became a meme, as well, spawning the creation of various Facebook groups numbering thousands of people. The cardinal claimed in response that his words were "taken out of context" despite different implications based on the transcript of the sermon, but concedes that the word he used is too harsh.

Clergy sex abuse
In February 2019, Puljić said in an interview that there were several cases of clergy abuse in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well, but that he did not report them to the police. Puljić did not publish the names of the abusers or the place where they were at the service.

Personal life
On 2 December 2020, it was confirmed that Puljić tested positive for COVID-19, amid its pandemic in Bosnia and Herzegovina; by 12 December, he recovered.

Segway expense
Massey University is well known for its excessive spending on segways for 'security' purposes.

Is this true??

No...but good story.

 * Yes it's true... sad, yes, but true. And I should know, I've seen the guy drive by on it! They apparently only bought one (or was it two?), but someone writing in to CHAFF (the student paper) calculated that for the cost of that one they could have bought a fleet of mountain bikes that would have allowed multiple guards to move with just as much ease. As it is they've only got the one guy running around on it, I think the rest just drive around in cars. Ah well, at least I know where my money's being spent... :) Master Thief GarrettTalk 6 July 2005 23:18 (UTC)

Seeing the guy drive by on it doesn't make Massey known for excessive Segway spending - but those were got rid of years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.123.96.22 (talk) 21:26, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Aviation
I've removed the following comments that were added to the Aviation section of this article regarding Frank Sharp: "who was administratively released in 1993 by the air force after the $600,000 upgrade to his house came to light. After his discharge from the RNZAF, a damning report was issued by the Auditor General entitled "Report on Expenditure on the Base Commander's Residence at RNZAF Ohakea" which strongly criticised both Mr Sharp and the RNZAF. Mr Sharp had previously enjoyed an exemplary air force career, having been leader of the RNZAF Skyhawk Aerobatic Display Team." While correct and verified, this information belongs in an article on the person himself, as it does not relate to the university (which is the topic of the article!). Ziggurat 01:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Personally I'd think many potential students doing research about Massey's school of aviation would love to know that a man who was essentially fired for financial misdealings now has control over their student accounts, sets fees and charges and applies levies and charges when he feels like it

Sorry about all the edits. I made a couple of small errors and had to change them but forgot to mark them as "minor edits" 1bj05hua (talk) 05:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The remainder of the campus was leased out to the New Zealand Army/New Zealand Air Force and Te Wananaga. In 2016, carparking, security, the staff cafeteria and all remaining functions that had space to return to on Turitea left. The remaining staff members are due to leave by end of 2016.

User talk:HowieHowe

I read somewhere that FDR and Gen Douglas MacArthur were related, cousins of some sort. It is my asumption that this relationship saved MacArthurs's butt and reputation several times, including his leading the assault in washington on the World War I Veterans in the Bonus Army march on Washington, and his strategic loss of almost every asset supplied him in the Phillipines before the Japanese invasion. FDR had diverted almost every bomber produced to MacArthur in the Phillipines, yet they were on the ground and destroyed there when the Japanese arrived at lunch time. Instead of being at least reprimanded, he was saved by Presidential order and let Wainwiright take the wrap for the fall of the Phillipines. I further understand that at the surrender of Japan, MacArthur turned his back on Wainwright for lsoing the Phillipines, a command he had deserted. Though his Far east command area of Operations was much smaller than either that of Nimitz's or Stillwell's,and the number of battles much less, history seems to act as if he alone defeated the Japanese.

Symphonic organ

The symphonic organ is a style of pipe organ that flourished during the first three decades of the 20th century in town halls and other secular public venues, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. It has roots in 19th-century Europe, and is a variation of the classical pipe organ. It features expanded capabilities, with many pipes imitative of orchestral instruments (e.g., strings, woodwinds, brass), and with multiple expressive divisions and organ console controls for seamlessly adjusting volume and tone, generally with electric organ actions and winding. These expansions let the organist approximate a conductor's power to shape the tonal textures of Romantic music and orchestral transcriptions. (These are classical orchestral works re-scored for a solo organist, a practice particularly popular before technology allowed orchestras to be widely recorded and broadcast.) These organs are generally concert instruments as opposed to church organs. The symphonic organ has seen a revival in the US, Europe and Japan, particularly since the 1980s.

The leading builders of symphonic organs were Henry Willis & Sons in the UK and Ernest M. Skinner in the US, following the pioneering 19th-century work of Eberhard Friedrich Walcker in Germany and Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in France, and inspiring the organ music of such figures as Edward Elgar, Edwin Lemare, Franz Liszt, and César Franck, respectively. The largest example is the Wanamaker Organ, designed by George Ashdown Audsley for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, re-installed in a Philadelphia department store in 1911, and then greatly expanded over two decades. It currently has six manuals, eleven divisions, 464 ranks, and 28,750 pipes, all powered by 36 regulators and fans totaling 173 hp. Other important examples around Philadelphia are the Skinner organ at Girard College Chapel (1931), the Curtis Organ at Irvine Auditorium (University of Pennsylvania, 1926), and the Aeolian Company organ at nearby Longwood Gardens (1929). In New Haven, Connecticut, three organbuilders assembled one of the world's largest and finest symphonic organs for Yale University in Woolsey Hall (Newberry Memorial Organ, 1902/1915/1928).

Another excellent example of a symphonic organ can be seen and heard at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The magnificent Opus 1206 by Austin Organs, with 81 ranks and 5,261 pipes, was first played on February 12, 1925. Its first Civic Organist was the world-renowned Edwin Lemare. Led by the Chattanooga Music Club, the citizens of Chattanooga began the organ's restoration in 1987, and 20 years later, on July 2, 2007, it was re-dedicated at a concert performed by Wanamaker organist Peter Richard Conte. Municipal symphonic organs are still in prominent use in San Diego, California (Spreckels Organ Pavilion, 1914) and in Portland, Maine (Kotzschmar Memorial Organ, 1912), and in 1999 a large 1920s-vintage Skinner organ was inaugurated in the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal.

Norman Taurog

Norman Rae Taurog (February 23, 1899 – April 7, 1981) was an American film director and screenwriter. From 1920 to 1968, Taurog directed 180 films. At the age of 32, he received the Academy Award for Best Director for Skippy (1931), becoming the youngest person to win the award for eight and a half decades until Damien Chazelle won for La La Land in 2017. He was later nominated for Best Director for the film Boys Town (1938). He directed some of the best-known actors of the twentieth century, including his nephew Jackie Cooper, Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Deanna Durbin, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Deborah Kerr, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Elvis Presley and Vincent Price. Taurog directed six Martin and Lewis films, and nine Elvis Presley films, more than any other director.

For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Taurog has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1600 Vine Street.

Early life
Norman Taurog was born February 23, 1899, in Chicago, Illinois, to Jewish parents Arthur Jack Taurog and Anita (originally "Annie") Taurog (née Goldsmith). His father's naturalization records claim that Arthur was born in the Russian Empire in 1872 or 1873 and naturalized as a minor, while his mother was from New York. Later census records claimed that Arthur's parents were from Germany, and Anita's were from England. The couple were married in Chicago in 1896.

Norman became a child performer on the stage at an early age, making his movie debut at the age of 13 in the short film Tangled Relations, produced by Thomas Ince's studios. In the eight years until his next screen credit, he worked in theater, mostly off-Broadway.

Film career
In 1919, Taurog returned to the film industry as a director, collaborating with Larry Semon in The Sportsman (1920). In the coming decade, he made 42 silent films, mostly shorts. During this time, he developed his style, his forte being light comedy although he could also deal with drama and maintain complex narratives. In early 1928, he directed his first feature-length film, The Ghetto starring George Jessel, which was expanded in late 1928 with musical and dialogue portions directed by Charles C. Wilson for eventual release as Lucky Boy (1929).

In 1931, Taurog made his breakthrough, directing Skippy, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Director. In February 2012, Taurog's Oscar award statue sold for $301,973 at an auction in Beverly Hills. Taurog's nephew Jackie Cooper was also nominated for his acting performance; in his 1981 autobiography Please Don't Shoot My Dog, Cooper wrote that during Skippy's filming, Cooper could not cry on cue in a movie scene. Taurog then had a studio security guard pretend to shoot Cooper's dog behind a prop wall, to make the child actor cry. (While this autobiography was being written, attempts were made by Cooper's editor to get Taurog's version of events; Taurog declined to participate.) Skippy tells of the adventures of the eponymous hero, his antics and adventures with his friend Sooky as they try to come up with a license for Sooky's dog, save his shantytown from demolition, sell lemonade and save for a new bike. Based on a popular comic strip character, its sentiment, comedy and moral didacticism (common with movies of the time), added to a gritty realism made it a huge success, so much so that the studio immediately scheduled a sequel, Sooky, for the following year.

The next few years saw Taurog enter the third chapter of his career, as an established director who could work in a number of genres. He directed a series of well-received films, including If I Had a Million (1932), which showed his ability to work with an all-star cast—Gary Cooper, George Raft, Charles Laughton, and W. C. Fields. In 1934, he directed We're Not Dressing, starring Bing Crosby, Carole Lombard, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and Ray Milland. In 1935, he directed the star-studded musical showcase The Big Broadcast of 1936 starring Bing Crosby and George Burns and Gracie Allen.

In 1938, Taurog brought all his skill and experience to bear with one of the liveliest and most successful adaptations of classic literature; The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was an artistic and commercial triumph. The year also brought Boys Town, showing Taurog to be more than capable of sustaining a dramatic narrative and earning him another Academy Award nomination. It wasn't all success, though. Lucky Night (1939) starring Myrna Loy and Robert Taylor was a turkey, and while Taurog shot test scenes for 1939's cinematic extravaganza The Wizard of Oz, Victor Fleming was chosen to direct. Taurog was reassigned to work on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a change which he had little to no say in. However, Taurog went on to earn a Best Director nomination for Boys Town later that year, despite losing out on directing Oz. He did, however, helm the last of MGM's big pre-war musical showcases, 1940's Broadway Melody, starring Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell. He expanded his range into biographies, working with Mickey Rooney again, in the well-received Young Tom Edison (1940). He directed Judy Garland three times in the early 1940s, in Little Nellie Kelly (1940), the 'small-town-girl-gets-big-break' Presenting Lily Mars (1943), and the Gershwin musical Girl Crazy (1943).

After directing re-takes for a wartime propaganda film, Rationing (1944), Taurog entered new territory with a docudrama of the atom bomb, The Beginning or the End (1947). It was back to his metier of light comedy for his next couple of outings, The Bride Goes Wild with Van Johnson and June Allyson and Big City, both in 1948. Remarkably, he also directed a third film that year combining the genres of comedy, drama and biography and dealing with an all-star cast; Words and Music was a fictionalized biopic of the relationship between Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. It starred, among others, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Mickey Rooney and Cyd Charisse. By now, Taurog had established a reputation as a director who was comfortable working in the musical and comedy genre, and who could be relied upon to work with slight material—qualities which would be useful later in his career.

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis had been a double-act since 1946 and had made five films together, three Martin and Lewis top-liners, before Taurog directed Jumping Jacks (1952), regarded by many Martin and Lewis fans as the finest of their films. Taurog worked well with the duo and he went on to direct them in The Stooge (1953), The Caddy (1954), Living It Up (1955), You're Never Too Young (1954), and their penultimate film together, Pardners (1956). Taurog worked with Lewis alone twice more, in Don't Give Up the Ship (1959) and Visit to a Small Planet (1960).

In 1960, Taurog directed his first Elvis Presley film, G.I. Blues. This was a turning point for Elvis. Up until then, he had harbored ambitions of being a James Dean figure, playing brooding rebel roles in Loving You (1957), Jailhouse Rock (1957), and King Creole (1958). However, Colonel Tom Parker had different plans for the singer. G.I. Blues was Elvis's first film in two years, following his return from the army, and would set the tone for future films—a few girls, a few adventures, and a few songs along the way with weak plots and uninspired acting. When well-made, this was an entertaining, light-hearted formula and Taurog, now in his sixties, was an old hand at it. So impressed was Parker with his work that over the next eight years, Taurog directed Elvis in eight more films: Blue Hawaii (1961), Girls! Girls! Girls! (1962), It Happened at the World's Fair (1963), Tickle Me (1965), Spinout (1966), Double Trouble (1967), Speedway (1968), and Live a Little, Love a Little (1968). Although some were better than others—and some were almost identical—Taurog ensured that the films had pace, the comedy was delivered well, and the songs were well executed. Live a Little, Love a Little was his last film.

Later years
In 1968, Taurog retired from directing. He later taught at the University of Southern California School of Cinema and remained a board member of the Directors Guild of America. He owned a camera shop in Canoga Park, California.

Toward the end of his life, he became blind. In his last years, he served as director of the Braille Institute in Los Angeles.

Taurog died on April 7, 1981, in Palm Desert, California, at the age of 82. His ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.

Taurog has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1600 Vine Street for his contribution to the motion picture industry.

Taurog supported Barry Goldwater in the 1964 United States presidential election.

Young Lions (album)

Young Lions is the fifth solo album by Adrian Belew released in May 1990 by Atlantic Records. The album featured David Bowie singing on two tracks, "Pretty Pink Rose" and "Gunman", the latter of which Bowie and Belew co-wrote since he was acting as musical director and lead guitarist on the Sound+Vision Tour with Bowie.

Two cover versions appear on the album: "Heartbeat", a song Belew had co-written and performed with King Crimson while he was a member; and "Not Alone Anymore", a Traveling Wilburys song from Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. This was Belew's tribute to Roy Orbison who had recently died.

The other songwriting "collaboration" on the album is with Nashville radio evangelist Prophet Omega. Working decades-old tapes of Omega's broadcasts into "I Am What I Am", Belew, "listed him as a co-author, so in case a couple of hefty guys drop by my place some day, I can say 'here's your money.' " Al Kooper, who collects "oddball" recordings, gave a 47-minute recording of Omega preaching and Belew made two further recordings: "I Know What I Know" on Coming Attractions and "Troubles" on Side Three.

Belew was pressed for time for the cover artwork and it was hurriedly completed by Atlantic's art department. It features a then five-year-old Robert S. Belew on his way to Sunday school carrying a stuffed animal.

All songs written by Adrian Belew unless noted:

 * 1) "Young Lions" – 3:48

United States Cellular Corporation

United States Cellular Corporation (doing business as UScellular and formerly known as U.S. Cellular) is an American mobile network operator. Its stock is publicly traded, but Telephone and Data Systems Inc. owns a controlling stake (83% economic and 96% voting power). The company was formed in 1983 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. UScellular is the fifth-largest wireless carrier in the United States, with 4,656,000 subscribers in 426 markets in 21 states as of the 2nd quarter of 2023.

In May 2024, T-Mobile US announced it would acquire UScellular's wireless business in a deal worth $4.4 billion.

1980s & 1990s
United States Cellular was founded as a subsidiary of Telephone and Data Systems Inc. (TDS) and incorporated on December 23, 1983. began operations in Knoxville, Tennessee (June), and Tulsa, Oklahoma (August). The company went public in 1988 where United States Cellular adopted USM as its ticker symbol on the American Stock Exchange. In 1999, United States Cellular relaunched under the “U.S. Cellular” brand name and image across all markets nationwide.

2000s
The company purchased PrimeCo Wireless Communications in 2002 and launched in the Chicago area on November 22. It built on this growth by signing Chicagoan Joan Cusack as national spokesperson. In January 2003, U.S. Cellular acquired naming rights to the baseball stadium used by the Chicago White Sox. Formerly known as Comiskey Park, the stadium was officially renamed U.S. Cellular Field (it was renamed Guaranteed Rate Field in 2016). That same year, U.S. Cellular and Cingular (now owned by AT&T Mobility) exchanged wireless assets and U.S. Cellular received new spectrum in markets of 13 states. In 2005, U.S. Cellular entered the St. Louis market, making it the second largest market U.S. Cellular served, after Chicago. In October 2008, U.S. Cellular launched Mobile Broadband, a service enabling customers to access data on its cell phones 10 times faster than before. It brought DSL-like service and capabilities to customers through EVDO (Evolution-Data Optimized) technology, commonly referred to as 3G. As of Q2 2008, U.S. Cellular was preparing to roll out 3G/EVDO revision A to select markets.

2010s
In May 2011, U.S. Cellular announced that it will offer 4G LTE. In a surprising move, U.S. Cellular announced the sale of several markets to Sprint Corporation including its home market of Chicago. June 2016, Google announced that it partnered with U.S. Cellular as part of its Google Fi service. U.S. Cellular contributed its network and LTE service to the "network of networks" along with T-Mobile US and Sprint Corporation.

2020s
In March 2020, U.S. Cellular debuted launch of 5G in Wisconsin and Iowa U.S. Cellular rebranded as UScellular and upgraded its logo in the fall of that year.

In February 2023, Google Fi discontinued its partnership with UScellular in a statement saying "We will no longer be an official network partner of Google Fi," UScellular senior manager of media relations Katie Frey told CNET over email. "We value our relationship with Google, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in other ways."

In 2023, parent company TDS, announced that it was exploring strategic alternatives for UScellular. The company has made no comment since the announcement other than to say the process was ongoing in 3Q 23 earnings call.

In January 2024, UScellular shut down its 2G/3G CDMA network with the spectrum being reallocated to its 4G LTE and 5G NR networks.

On May 28, 2024, T-Mobile US announced its intention to acquire most of UScellular's wireless operations, including all of the company’s customers and stores, and 30% of UScellular's wireless spectrum in a transaction valued at USD 4.4 billion. While UScellular would retain 70% of its wireless spectrum and cell sites under the deal, T-Mobile would also be able to lease more than 2,000 towers from the company. Both companies expect the deal to close by mid-2025.

4G LTE network
U.S. Cellular began offering 4G LTE coverage to customers in the first quarter of 2012. The rollout started in cities in Iowa, Wisconsin, Maine, North Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma. In 2012, U.S. Cellular added 4G LTE in additional markets throughout the country.

Its LTE network was primarily built upon two low-frequency LTE bands; 12 and 5. Through an agreement with King Street Wireless, U.S. Cellular has access to the lower 700 MHz A, B, and C blocks across most of its markets. Spectrum bandwidth includes, 5*5, or 10*10 MHz on band 12 700 MHz 5*5 MHz on band 5 850 MHz 5*5, or 10*10 MHz on band 4 AWS 1. U.S. Cellular also has 5Mhz or 10Mhz of spectrum on Band 66 (AWS-3) in some markets.

The company began VoLTE trials during 2016, launched its first market with VoLTE during the first quarter of 2017.

In December 2019, the FCC found U.S. Cellular shared misinformation about its 4G LTE coverage, exaggerating performance by as much as 38% and only managing to reach the federally mandated minimum speeds 45% of the time.

5G network
In June 2019, U.S. Cellular successfully bid for high frequency spectrum in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Millimeter Wave Spectrum Auctions and purchased licenses covering 98 percent of its subscribers for $256.0 million or 1.7 cents per MHz pop. This laid the foundation for October 2019, when U.S. Cellular officially announced plans to launch its 5G service. The company launched its first phone with support, the Samsung Galaxy S20, as well as coverage maps for its first commercial 5G network in both urban and rural parts of Iowa and Wisconsin in February 2020.

Nationwide Coverage Through Roaming

UScellular currently only has a roaming agreement with AT&T Mobility. This allows customers to roam on AT&T with LTE or 5G speeds with no extra charges.

Previously T-Mobile U.S. was used for LTE and 5G, but at the end of 2022 roaming service has been discontinued with them. UScellular also used Verizon for 1X and 3G roaming, but this has also since been discontinued as Verizon shut down its CDMA network at the end of 2022.
