Brenton

Brenton is an English place name and surname. The surname Brenton indicates that one's ancestors came from a place called Brenton near Exminster, Devon, south West England, the original meaning of which was "Bryni's homestead". Bryni was an Old English given name based on the word bryne, "flame".

Brenton is now also used as a given name in English speaking countries. It has been one of the thousand most common names for boys born in the United States since 1966. The name can be commonly found in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Australia it is particularly associated with South Australia, where it has historically been very popular. Its popularity in Australian and the US increased in the 1980s due to the TV miniseries All the Rivers Run, based on the 1958 novel of the same name by Nancy Cato, which contained a character named Brenton Edwards.

Daisy Ashford

Margaret Mary Julia Devlin (née Ashford; 3 April 1881 – 15 January 1972), known as Daisy Ashford, was an English writer who is most famous for writing The Young Visiters, a novella concerning the upper class society of late 19th century England, when she was just nine years old. The novella was published in 1919, preserving her juvenile spelling and punctuation. She wrote the title as "Viseters" in her manuscript, but it was published as "Visiters".

Early life and education
Daisy Ashford was born on 3 April 1881 in Petersham, Surrey, the eldest of three daughters born to Emma Georgina Walker and William Henry Roxburgh Ashford. She was largely educated at home with her sisters Maria Veronica 'Vera' (born 1882) and Angela Mary 'Angie' (born 1884).

Career
At the age of four Daisy dictated her first story, The Life of Father McSwiney, to her father; it was published in 1983. From 1889 to 1896 she and her family lived at 44 St Anne's Crescent, Lewes, where she wrote The Young Visiters. She wrote several other stories; a play, A Woman's Crime; and one other short novel, The Hangman's Daughter, which she considered to be her best work. Some stories written by Ashford are lost.

She stopped writing during her teens. In 1896 the family moved to the Wallands area of Lewes, and in 1904 she moved with her family to Bexhill, and then to London where she worked as a secretary. She ran a canteen in Dover during the First World War. When published in 1919, The Young Visiters was an immediate success, and several of her other stories were published in 1920. Ashford bought a farm on the proceeds of The Young Visiters and once observed, “I like fresh air — and royalties.” She did not write in later years, although in old age she did begin an autobiography which she later destroyed.

Personal life
In 1920, at the age of 38, Ashford married James Devlin with whom she had four children. They ran a flower-growing business near Norwich and later the King's Arms Hotel in Reepham for a year. Devlin died in 1956.

Death
She died on 15 January 1972 in Norwich, England, and was buried at Earlham Road Cemetery there.

Legacy
Edmund Wilson referred to the novel This Side of Paradise by his friend F. Scott Fitzgerald as "a classic in a class with The Young Visiters", a way of deeming the style childish or naïve.

Aurelio Peccei

Aurelio Peccei (4 July 1908 – 14 March 1984), was an Italian industrialist and philanthropist, who co-founded with Alexander King and first president of the Club of Rome, an organisation which, in 1972, produced The Limits to Growth report.

Early life
Peccei was born on 4 July 1908 in Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region of Italy. He spent his youth there, eventually graduating from the University of Turin with a degree in economics in 1930. Soon thereafter he went to the Sorbonne with a scholarship and was awarded a free trip to the Soviet Union.

His knowledge of other languages brought him to Fiat S.p.A. Although under continual suspicion as an anti-fascist in the early 1930s, in 1935 a successful mission for Fiat in China established his position in Fiat management.

During World War II, Peccei joined the anti-fascist movement and the resistance, when he was a member of the "Giustizia e Libertà". He was arrested, imprisoned, and tortured. After 11 months in prison, he was freed in January 1945.

Business ventures
After the war, Peccei was engaged in the rebuilding of Fiat. He was concurrently involved in various private and public efforts then underway to rebuild Italy, including the founding of Alitalia.

In 1949, he went to Latin America for Fiat, to restart their operations, as Fiat operations in Latin America had been halted during the war. He settled in Argentina, where he was to live for a decade with his family. He realised that it would make sense to start manufacturing locally and set up the Argentine subsidiary, Fiat-Concord, which built cars and tractors. Fiat-Concord rapidly became one of the most successful automotive firms in Latin America.

In 1958, with the backing of Fiat, Peccei founded Italconsult (a para-public joint consultancy venture involving major Italian firms such as Fiat, Innocenti, Montecatini), and became its chairman, a position he held until the 1970s when he became honorary president. Italconsult was an engineering and economic consulting group for developing countries. It operated under Peccei's leadership, on the whole, more as a non-profit consortium. Italconsult was regarded by Peccei as a way of helping tackle the problems of the Third World, which he had come to know first-hand in Latin America.

In 1964, Peccei was asked to become president of Olivetti. Olivetti was facing significant difficulties at that time due to the profound changes occurring in the office machine sector. Peccei, with his foresight and his entrepreneurial vision, was able to turn the situation at Olivetti around.

But Peccei was not content merely with the substantial achievements of Italconsult, or his responsibilities as president of Olivetti, and threw his energies into other organisations as well, including ADELA, an international consortium of bankers aimed at supporting industrialisation in Latin America. He was asked to give the keynote speech in Spanish at the group's first meeting in 1965, which is when the series of coincidences leading to the creation of the Club of Rome began.

The Club of Rome

Peccei's speech caught the attention of Dean Rusk, then US Secretary of State, who had it translated into English and distributed at various meetings in Washington. A Soviet representative at the annual meeting of the United Nations Advisory Committee on Science and Technology (ACAST), Jermen Gvishiani, Alexei Kosygin's son-in-law and vice-chairman of the State Committee on Science and Technology of the Soviet Union, read the speech and was so taken by it that he decided he should invite the author to come for private discussions, outside Moscow. Gvishiani therefore asked an American colleague on ACAST, Carroll Wilson, about Peccei. Wilson did not know Peccei, but he and Gvishiani both knew Alexander King, by then Director General for Scientific Affairs for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, so Wilson appealed to him for information.

As it happened, King did not know Peccei, but he was equally impressed by the ADELA paper and tracked down its author via the Italian Embassy in Paris. King wrote to Peccei, passing on Gvishiani's address and his wish to invite him to the Soviet Union, but also congratulating him on his paper and suggesting that they might meet sometime as they obviously shared similar concerns. Peccei telephoned King and they arranged to have lunch.

The two men got on well from the outset. They met several times in the latter part of 1967 and early 1968, and then decided that they had to do something constructive to encourage longer-range thinking among Western European governments.

Peccei accordingly persuaded the Agnelli Foundation to fund a two-day brainstorming meeting on 7–8 April 1968 of around 30 European economists and scientists at the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome. The goal of the meeting was to discuss the ideas of Peccei and King on the global problems facing mankind and of the necessity of acting at the global level. The meeting at the Accademia dei Lincei was not a success, partly due to the difficulty of the participants to focus on a distant future.

After the meeting there was an informal gathering of a few people in Peccei's home, which included Erich Jantsch (one of the great methodologists of planning studies), Alexander King, Hugo Thiemann, Lauro Gomes-Filho, Jean Saint-Geours, and Max Kohnstamm. According to King, within an hour they had decided to call themselves the Club of Rome and had defined the three major concepts that have formed the club's thinking ever since: a global perspective, the long-term, and the cluster of intertwined problems they called "the problematique". Although the Rome meeting had been convened with just Western Europe in mind, the group realised that they were dealing with problems of much larger scale and complexity—in short, "the predicament of mankind". The notion of problematique excited some because it seemed applicable at a universal level, but worried others, who felt that the approach was valid only for smaller entities such as a city or community. Saint-Geours and Kohnstamm therefore soon dropped out, leaving the others to pursue their informal programme of learning and debate.

Thus started what Peccei called "the adventure of the spirit". He was fond of stating that, "If the Club of Rome has any merit, it is that of having been the first to rebel against the suicidal ignorance of the human condition." Peccei felt "It is not impossible to foster a human revolution capable of changing our present course."

About the same time, a study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), headed by Jay Forrester, began on the implications of continued growth on population increase, agricultural production, non-renewable resource depletion, industrial output, and pollution generation. He made an offer to the Club of Rome to adapt his dynamic model to handle global issues. A fortnight later, a group of club members visited Forrester at MIT and were convinced that the model could be made to work for the kind of global problems which interested the club. The results of the study were published in the 1972 book The Limits to Growth, which received both worldwide acclaim and strong criticism.

In 1972, Peccei was one of the principal founders of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), in Laxenburg, Austria. This institute was formed after considerable struggle, but then served as an important bridge between East and West, partly because its founders included the United States (through the National Academy of Sciences), the Soviet Union (through the Soviet Academy of Sciences), Italy (through the Comitato Nazionale di Ricerche) and various other countries in the Western and Eastern sectors of the world. IIASA became a meeting place for scholars and scientists of different countries and provided a bridging function for the scientific world, producing important studies in different fields, including climate change, energy, and agriculture.

It was during this same period that Peccei became involved in the World Wildlife Fund (now the World Wide Fund for Nature), becoming a member of its international board and becoming a strong supporter of their mission, not only internationally but also locally in Italy.

In the early 1970s, several other studies were undertaken to improve upon The Limits to Growth, with varying degrees of support from the Club of Rome. Reflecting general criticism from the Third World, a Latin American model was developed by the Bariloche Institute in Argentina. The Club of Rome helped to find funding for the project but did not give its imprimatur to the final report ("Catastrophe or New Society?", A.O. Herrera et al., 1976).

With the idea of placing greater stress on the human dimension, Peccei approached the Dutch economist and Nobel laureate Jan Tinbergen and proposed a study of the likely impact of a doubling of the population on the global community. Tinbergen and his colleague Hans Linnemann came to the conclusion that the topic was unmanageably large and decided to focus on the problems of food for a doubling world population. When this was put to the Club of Rome, Peccei and others disagreed strongly, feeling that other aspects such as strains on housing, urban infrastructure, and employment should not be ignored. Ultimately Linnemann and his group pursued their research with funds they had already raised in the Netherlands and published their results independently, not as a report to the Club of Rome.

In that same month, OPEC met, resulting in the first oil shock of 1973. The framework of discussion changed radically, at least for a while, and the club was to become involved in the United Nations debate on the New International Economic Order (NIEO).

Peccei persuaded the Austrian Chancellor, Bruno Kreisky, to host a meeting on North-South problems in February 1974 in Salzburg, Austria. Besides Bruno Kreisky, the following heads of state of government were present in Salzburg: Leopold Senghor, President of Senegal; Luis Echeverría, President of Mexico; Joop den Uyl, Prime Minister of the Netherlands; Olof Palme, Prime Minister of Sweden; Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada; as well as the representatives of the prime ministers of Algeria and Ireland. Peccei deliberately did not invite any of the major European powers, the US, or the Soviet Union so as to prevent the debate turning into a forum for national or ideological position statements. To encourage the participants to speak freely, they were asked to come without accompanying civil servants and assured that nothing they said would be attributed to them. The two-day private brainstorming meeting ended with a press conference for 300 journalists.

As a logical extension of the Salzburg meeting, Peccei asked Jan Tinbergen to produce a follow-up report on global food and development policies, exploring these aspects much more thoroughly than the coverage in The Limits to Growth. Scholars from the First, Second and Third Worlds were invited to participate in the RIO project (Reshaping the International Order), though only Poland and Bulgaria accepted from the Communist bloc. The basic thesis was that the gap between rich and poor countries (with the wealthiest roughly 13 times richer than the poorest) was intolerable and the situation was inherently unstable, and that ways should be found to reduce the gap to 6:1 over the next 15 to 30 years. Unlike The Limits to Growth, the model allowed the developing countries five percent growth per annum, whereas the industrialised countries would have zero or negative growth. According to the report, all would benefit from more sensible use of energy and other resources and a more equitable distribution of global wealth. The main report argued that people in the rich countries would have to change their patterns of consumption and accept lower profits, but a dissenting group saw consumption as a symptom rather than a cause of the problems, which stemmed from the fundamental power structure.

After numerous working sessions and presentations over an 18-month period, the final results of RIO were presented at a meeting in Algiers in October 1976 and accepted as a report to the Club of Rome. The report did not have the hoped-for impact.

The last meeting Peccei organized and participated in was in Bogotá, Colombia, on 15–17 December 1983, with the title "Development in a World of Peace". Co-organizer of the meeting with Peccei was the President of Colombia, Belisario Betancur. Peccei visited Las Gaviotas in the Vichada and endorsed the project of Paolo Lugari to regenerate the rainforest that was destroyed by decades of extensive cattle farming.

Peccei died on 14 March 1984 in Rome.

A biography was written by his long-time assistant, Gunter Pauli entitled, Crusader for the Future: A Portrait of Aurelio Peccei. It was published in 1987.

Talk:Pope Benedict XVI/Vandalism

This page lists the messages that either dealt with or is considered vandalism under Wikipedia policies that is related to the article on Benedict XVI.

Article content dup
This page's content was duped in this edit. Could someone fix this. I would have done it myself but it seems to be protected. AlistairMcMillan 17:09, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

To whoever protected this article
Can we change that né (1st sentence) to born; it is better and simpler english. I was trying to make the change when the page was protected. -- Chris j wood 17:11, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * It is not Better English, look at the né article and you will see that it is very adequate and it is the term used for all the preceding popes --Astrowob 17:13, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * The né article says:

 * The French word née (feminine) or né (masculine) (sometimes written as nee by English speakers) is still commonly used in some newspapers when mentioning the former or maiden name of an individual in engagement or wedding announcements, and is sometimes archly extended to denote earlier names of companies and products.

 * which doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement (some newspapers, archly) of the wording myself. And the article on Pope John Paul II definately uses 'born' not 'né'. I was in process of editing this article to the same format as that when the protection came down. It looks like it is academic now, as an administrator has obviously made the change I was trying to make whilst the article was protected. -- Chris j wood 18:16, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Duplication
There is a duplication at the end of the article can someone who as the authorization fix it? --Astrowob 17:13, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, the categories need to be ammended. Kevin Rector (talk) 17:17, Apr 19, 2005

 * There is a duplication at the begining of the article.--Zigamorph 21:10, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * There is no 80 year age limit on popes being elected - technically any male Roman Catholic can be elected.

Devout anarchist?
Seems to be a (bad taste) joke. Conservative catholic is more accurate

Vandalism
My personal opinions aside, I don't think a picture of the Emperor from the Star Wars films is an appropriate portrait of the new pope.
 * Agreed, now that picture is on IfD. Zscout370 18:17, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for removing the "devout anarchist" slur, someone needs to grow up.
 * I did not remove it, but your welcome. With a page like this, there will be many vandals, and so will be many people trying to revert everything that they do. Zscout370 19:14, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Duplication
The whole page is currently duplicated threefold, and has been so for a while. Edits have probably been made to all duplicates,. This was the last version before duplication:, Alarm 19:39, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I fixed the problem, Alarm. If there is anything that is new that I might have taken out accidentally, then go ahead and add new entries. Zscout370 19:44, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Note, I am still doing this. See me on my talk page if you have any issues. Zscout370 19:57, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This article is in a hell of a mess. I assume that you who blocked it from editing are going to sort it out yourself??? Arcturus 19:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no admin powers, plus I should have clarified that the only page that I am clearing duplicates on is this one. But no matter what, both pages are a hell of a mess and will take a while to fix. Zscout370 20:01, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

UNPROTECT
Who protected this page??? The image doesn't show because the image tag is duplicated: image:image:. FIX NOW AND UNPROTECT!! Cantus… ☎   19:59, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * WOW, this article is one BIG mess. Admins please sort this mess out and then unprotect!! Cantus… ☎   20:02, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I am sure they are trying to do that. I just hope this will not screw up Wikipedia's reputation. Zscout370 20:06, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * So help me God, I will keep this page protected as long as I have to to fix the rampant doubling. I protected it for a few minutes (~8-10) to fix up to tripling in some areas; it took some doing, since people continued to add info. It's not helpful when admin continue to edit a protected page, even though they are warned to. (No reason to waste time putting up a "this page is protected" message, that as well as the servers are running right now that would have taken too much time, and contributed to my own edit conflicts). I fixed the first doubling, then just now protected to fix another round of doubling which was thankfully fixed just before I protected. I will continue doing this every time doubling occurs which isn't immediately remedied; if you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it. --Golbez 20:11, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Golbez, copy and paste everything into a text document (go to edit this page, press Ctrl and A, then paste it into a Notepad document). Save it, and when problems arise, go to edit this page, open up the Notepad file, then copy and paste from there. It is almost like having a local backup. Zscout370 20:21, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Page renamed to follow Naming conventions (names and titles) on cardinals. FearÉIREANN 02:28 10 Jul 2003 (UTC)

idiot messing up the page
which idiot is messing up the page and massively duplicating sections?
 * No idea, but I am hoping this mess will be fixed soon. Right now, I am trying to reorganize this talk page and arhciving a lot of stuff. Zscout370 20:37, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * and why is the messed up page protected!!?
 * Once again, no idea why, but this is starting to piss me off. Zscout370 20:41, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Who is doing it? Why can't we just block this vandal?

I protected the page so I could clean up the duplicates without encountering edit conflicts. AndyL 21:10, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunate Vandalism
1. The photo of Adolf Hitler is misleading. Yes Mr. Ratzinger was a former Hitler Youth, but the text states this was a requirement by law and not a choice of the young man. So the Hitler photo is unnecesary.

2.Benedict was considered to be Pope John Paul II's "right hand man" and also one of his closest friends, and during the Pope's final illness, he carried out many of the Pope's functions as leader of the Catholic Church, such as molesting young boys and degrating women. This sort of speaks for itself.

3. He is the eighth German pope. The last German pope, Adrian VI, was elected in 1522 and died in 1523. He is also the oldest cardinal to become pope since Clement XII, who like Ratzinger was elected at age 78. ''The reasoning behind picking such a old pope, is simple. They have not yet made up their mind and hope to soon find him dead so they can pick the guy they really want.'' Totally inappropriate editorializing in what is supposed to be an encyclopedic article.

Maybe we should protect this site so that once the news isn't as fresh, there'd be less vandalism. Ramsquire 21:20, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

We must NOT protect this site. Our reputation as an encyclopedia is based on our ability to react to change. People tried it on with John Paul II, and the protection was reverted, resulting in a transformed article. There is a huge energy for this article right now, and we must nopt waste it, --SqueakBox 19:23, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC) Wenn ich schlafe, spielen auf meiner Zunge Pinguine Harfe - Taktloss
 * Plus, as Squeak said, many people are going to target current event stories, since many people will come up and look at these articles. I would also like to point out that the vandalism is reverted in seconds, so we should be fine for right now. Zscout370 19:28, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for the previous anon post. I always forget to sign in. If you guys are on top of the vandalism, then I guess it's unnecessary to protect the site. Vandalism is the one major drawback to the whole wiki-experiment. But I guess it's the price to pay in an open forum like this. Ramsquire 21:20, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC) _________________________________________________________________

While many theologians strive for a Catholic Church that is more open and in touch with the world around it, Ratzinger’s mission is to stamp out dissent, and curb the “wild excesses” of this more tolerant era.

He wields the tools of his office with steely efficiency. By influencing diocese budgets, bishops’ transfers and even excommunications, what an opponent calls “symbolic violence”, Ratzinger has clamped down on the more radical contingent of the Church.

He has even claimed the prime position of the Church of Rome over other Christian Churches. Although he has apologised for this, he has never been so contrite about excluding liberation theologians, more progressive priests or those in favour of the ordination of women.

Thank you for not posting this stuff in the actual article, anon-user, but maybe if you have cites backing this info up, you can add a detractor section to the article. It might be helpful to present a balanced profile. Ramsquire 21:20, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Protection
Is it unproteced yet? Because I still see the notice on this page, but about a minute ago I tried clicked the "edit this page" button which was still available and it took me to the edit page. I did not try to submit my edit because I had nothing useful to contribute. 68.126.102.143 22:58, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The article is unprotected. Either everyone edits, or no one edits. That's what a protected page is. Administrators are expected to respect protection and not edit pages when they are protected. - Nunh-huh 22:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What is going on?
I get a "page protected" message but I can see that others are editing the page. Adam 22:34, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't know, I see the page as protected as well. I guess it was protected just a few minutes ago. However, since it's not listed in the Protected Page, I really have no idea why it's protected. -- KTC 22:39, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Adam, I know you asked this many times. Here is my reply: Only the admins are editing it, since this page has a high rate of vandalism. Once that threat is gone away, then we can try to make our edits. I know there are some things I have done to the page that got wiped out, but I will add them once this protection is lifted. Until then, just present what sources you have here, and I am sure they will come up on the article in the next few days.

Most of the recent protections of this page have been brief (2-8 minutes) for the express purpose of cleaning up page duplication due to the section bug.

Page Locked Unfairly
What is going on is out of order and I suspect in contradiction of various wikipedia policies. I have bought the locking of this page to Requests for page protection, where it should be discussed. i hope the people locking are not editing, and will scrutinise closely. this article needs opening now to everyone to edit. That way we keep our reputation as a source of up to date material and utilise the great energy to edit this page, --SqueakBox 22:48, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly agree with SqueakBox. I just looked through the page history and the "vandalism" was no such thing. Small inaccuracies does not equal vandalism -- and the few times something started being entered with POV it was quick removed. So what's the problem? Quasipalm 22:53, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

... While I don't like protecting or blocking pages, sometimes it is necessary to keep the integrity of the article. Since this story happened today, many people are checking out the site (which is good) and adding rumors and other unverifiable items (which is bad). I personally think that to stop this and the vandalism, there should be some control of the site. Oh, I think the following which was on the site but now thankfully removed would be considered vandalism ....Benedict was considered to be Pope John Paul II's "right hand man" and also one of his closest friends, and during the Pope's final illness, he carried out many of the Pope's functions as leader of the Catholic Church, such as molesting young boys and degrating women. .... He is the eighth German pope. The last German pope, Adrian VI, was elected in 1522 and died in 1523. He is also the oldest cardinal to become pope since Clement XII, who like Ratzinger was elected at age 78. The reasoning behind picking such a old pope, is simple. They have not yet made up their mind and hope to soon find him dead so they can pick the guy they really want. Totally inappropriate editorializing in what is supposed to be an encyclopedic article. .... Poop Benedict XVI.Ramsquire 23:57, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It's entirely inappropriate to have an "admin edit only" page. Either all can edit it, or none should. Policy is "Do not edit a temporarily protected page except to add a protected page notice." (we probably should have an exception for repairing our frequent duplication problem, but at present, we don't). It's entirely inappropriate to have a "sliently" protected page, as well. The reason given in the protection log for the latest protection is "Under some vandalism - seems hard to handle." As we can handle vandalism just fine, and since administrators have continued to edit it while in its protected state, I will unprotect it. - Nunh-huh 22:54, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. -- KTC 22:57, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree Nunh-huh, the purpose of the locking feature is not to allow admins to edit the page in relative peace. That may not have been the reason the page was locked, but if that's what's going on then it's against the spirit of Wikipedia: This encyclopedia is meant to be edited by the masses, not by an elite few, and admins shouldn't take advantage of the lock to get priority for their edits. If a page is locked due to constant vandalism or edit war then nobody should be editing it, like Nunh-huh pointed out. If it's locked due to technical problems like the duplication bug, then that should be fixed and then it should be unlocked. -Eisnel 23:48, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

... But should anyone have to constantly check out an article everyday to make sure it hasn't been vandalised. BTW-- When I joined wiki, I was told to make suggested changes in the discussion page first so that everyone can discuss and edit before changing the article. If everyone followed that wiki rule, we wouldn't need to block pages, except for technical problems. Ramsquire 23:57, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

vandalism
The page was locked i think because some idiots were vandalising the page with anti-german phrases and slogans. I saw these but they were removed quickly so may not have been noticed.

There are people watching the page to revert vandalism. The positive effects of keeping the páge open far outway the brief vandalisms, --SqueakBox 23:10, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * I would not be surprised if this talk page has been blanked by a vandal. You know what, it might have been, already, since I tried to edit something, then the page went blank except for two words "Seig Heil" in all caps. Zscout370 23:33, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Bloody Valentine War

No synopsis, please
[I'm coping this text from the discussion page of Second Bloody Valentine War, which can be seen as a sister page to this one, so the same should apply.]

I think this page should be an accurate chronology of the war. It should be narrated from a neutral point of view, something of a historical narration. As such, it should contain:
 * an introduction to the war
 * a chronology of events, main battles, alliances, turning-points
 * the outcome of the war
 * eventual treaties (if any).

For every event there should be the date and the place. For the battles, there should be info about the battle itself, such as deployed units, rules of engagement and the outcome.

This page, on the other hand, SHOULD NOT contain any of the following:
 * any reference to single episodes, mangas or other source material; this is a chronology of the war, not a collection of synopses
 * any information about the single characters, where not directly pertinent to the war as a whole; there shouldn't be an entire chapter for someones decisions/actions unless consequential to the whole war
 * any character's personal life events; these should go either on the Cosmic Era list of characters page or on the appropriate character's own page; these are not historical events
 * single dogfights between various gundams; these should be mentioned only when relevant to the entire battle (which is often the case), and shouldn't be described in too much of a detail (such as listing every move); if some dogfight is particularly unique, it should be put on the page of the defeated unit, under the fate subsection, not here
 * technical explanations of any kind; there are plenty of pages describing any possible ship, mobile suit unit, weapon and technology.

Please feel free to add your point of view, so we can all put toghether a set of basic rules and compose a nicer page.

Thanks to all. [Note: This text is a edited copy from the talk page of Second Bloody Valentine War.]--IgorTrieste 12:51, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, this page seems to be in a much better state than the Second Bloody Valentine War page. I would prefer if someone included some more specific information about what happened, though. [- Pkmatrix]

Maybe this should be expanded a bit?
While looking through this article, I've noticed that while it's pretty good, it's lacking a bunch of easily obtainable details, along with more general background information on the war itself. I mean, pretty much every article I've read on Wikipedia has a section that talks about the causes in some depth...why doesn't this one? Thus, I'm going to be expanding the article a bit in the near future. If anyone has any problem with what I add, just say so and I'll explain my reasons for adding it. --Pkmatrix 19:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Uroboros - is this correct?
The name of Operation Uroboros may have been mistranslated, given that the correct spelling of the word is Oroboros (if this is the intended meaning). There may be appearances of the name written in the series, (I haven't checked), which would be the most correct source to follow. Of course, 'uroboros,' might be correct, but given the many different romanizations of names, the meaning may have been intended to be 'Oroboros,' and should be verified.

Deployed forces
Does anyone know where the infos for the deployed forced come from? For me they look highly speculative (except the unique units of course). Diabound00 09:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

British India Steam Navigation Company

British India Steam Navigation Company ("BI") was formed in 1856 as the Calcutta and Burmah Steam Navigation Company.

History
The Calcutta and Burmah Steam Navigation Company had been formed out of Mackinnon, Mackenzie & Co, a trading partnership of the Scots William Mackinnon and Robert Mackenzie, to carry mail between Calcutta and Rangoon. It became British India SN Co in 1862. Under the hand of Lord Inchcape, who had become chairman in 1913, the company became part of the P&O group of companies in 1914 through a complex amalgamation, but continued with its own identity and organisation for another nearly 60 years until 1972, when it was entirely absorbed into P&O. P&O was eventually sold to Emirati logistics company DP World in 2006.

Fleet and routes
As one of the largest shipowners of all time, the company owned more than 500 ships and managed 150 more for other owners. At its height in 1922, BI had more than 160 ships in the fleet, many built on Clydeside, Scotland. The main shipping routes of the line were: Britain to India, Australia, Kenya, Tanganyika. The company ran services from India to Pakistan, Ceylon, Bay of Bengal, Singapore, Malaya, Java, Thailand, Japan, Persian Gulf, East Africa and South Africa. BI had a long history of service to the British and Indian governments through trooping and other military contracts. In the last decade of its operational existence BI carried thousands of school children on educational cruises.

SS Mantola (1916) was sunk in February 1917 by a torpedo from a German submarine off the coast of Ireland with a substantial cargo of silver bullion.

The cargo ship SS Gairsoppa, carrying silver bullion, pig iron and tea, which was sunk at great depth by the GS U-101 (1940) in February 1941 some 300 nmi southwest of Galway Bay, Ireland, carried the richest cargo of any sunken ship in world history.

Some of the company's better known passenger ships included SS Rajula, HMT Dunera, SS Scindia, MV Sirdhana, Leicestershire, SS Dwarka, SS Dumra, the sister ships SS Kampala and SS Karanja, and SS Kenya and SS Uganda (1952), and MV Dara, which was sunk by a terrorist bomb in 1961.

SS Nevasa of 1956 was the final passenger ship built for BI. Serving as a troopship until redundant in 1962, Nevasa was assigned new duties with the BI educational cruise ship flotilla until 1974, when she became uneconomic due a four fold increase in crude oil prices and was scrapped in 1975 having earlier been joined in this trade by the more economic Uganda. The highly popular Uganda was taken up (STUFT) by the British Ministry of Defence in 1982 as a hospital ship during the Falklands War with Argentina. Returning to BI's tradition of government service again in 1983 – this time as a troopship – Uganda was "the last BI" when finally withdrawn in 1985. Dwarka holds the distinction of closing British-India's true "liner" services, when withdrawn from the company's Persian Gulf local trades in 1982, in her 35th year.

Talk:Ruth's Chris Steak House

Untitled
I am wondering how the name "Ruth's Chris steakhouse" began...doesn't Ruth & Chris's steakhouse sound better? I will never eat at the restuarant until I find out what the hell is up with their name.

 * It's actually explained on the page. Ruth bought Chris Steak House and the stipulation was that they keep the "Chris" name. Eventually, when she could change the name, she just decided to keep it the way it was. Mike H 00:45, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * To clarify a bit: the name is not meant to imply the steakhouse is owned by Ruth and Chris, it's meant to imply it is the Chris Steakhouse, owned by Ruth. 69.118.247.101 04:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

 * That seems to have been an old style naming convention here in New Orleans when a well known name restaurant got a new owner. Another locally famous example is "Pascal's Manale". -- Infrogmation 16:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

CEO Fired
Has the CEO been fired? See http://www.therestaurantblogger.com/page/2/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.92.6.186 (talk) 22:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

More confusion
OK, I'm finding a few different stories. In some she is required to keep the name, in other's she is given the right to keep the name as long as it stays in the same location, some mention a fire and re-opening, some only mention a second branch.

The current page reads: ''In buying the restaurant, Fertel had to agree that the restaurant keep the "Chris" name. After the original establishment burned down, she renamed it Ruth's Chris...''

http://www.ruthschris-austin.com/general_history.htm reads: ''Chris Matulich had already sold his 60 seat steak house six times, repeatedly buying it back on the cheap when the latest owner had failed or given up... Ruth didn't know she was being suckered. ... With business eventually booming, Ruth opened another branch close to the original. This prompted a legal spat with Chris Matulich that led her to append her first name to his, creating the famously tongue-twisting Ruth's Chris Steak House.'' (some references at http://www.ruthschris-austin.com/reviews.htm)

http://www.austin360.com/restaurants/content/restaurants/special/2001/deardale_070601.html reads: '' When Fertel entered the restaurant industry in 1965, she bought Chris Steak House in New Orleans from Chris Matulich. But there was a stipulation: If she ever moved it, she had to change the name. In 1976, a fire damaged the building and Fertel decided to move the restaurant four blocks away a week later. So she had to quickly rename the place. ... Thus, Chris Steak House became Ruth's Chris Steak House.''

http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/rest-review-ruthschris.html reads: The owner (Chris Matulich) gave Ruth the right to keep the name as long as the restaurant stayed in the original location.

The above sources are all consistent with what the page currently reads.

Leaving New Orleans post Katrina
I'm not sure this merits any inclusion in the article, but there's been some resentment in New Orleans over the chain pulling out of the city (both the headquarters and the original restaurant), which some have compared unfavorably to Ruth Fertel's charitable actions after Hurricane Betsy. . -- Infrogmation 16:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Keeping the Chris name
None of the sources mention that Ruth was required to keep the Chris name at new locations -- they say that she was only required to keep the name at the original location. Once the original location burned down, she added her name Ruth into the steakhouse's name, because she wasn't allowed to use the same name in new locations. The article mentions that "By the time Fertel was legally allowed to take Chris out of the name, the chain (and its unique name) had become famous in many places across the country, and she therefore decided to keep the name." But this cannot be true, because Fertel was already legally allowed to take Chris out of the name when she built the new restaurant. As the article mentions, she kept Chris in the name only to retain customers, not because she was contractually obligated to keep it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.142.155 (talk • contribs)

Future Locations
I do not think that adding future locations is appropriate, and have removed them from the article. Any good reasons why they should be there? Risker 17:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with you. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Unless some corporate future plan is in some way notable in itself, we don't need to cover such. -- Infrogmation 07:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think present locations is appropriate either. WP is not a directory, and the information is available where it ought to be, on the company's web site. There's no need to copy it here. I additionally consider it spam links--it serves the advertising purpose of having a link to this restaurant chain from the very frequently visited articles on major cities. I have therefore removed them, and am prepared to defend the deletion. DGG 16:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion
982.2C converts to 1800F. Neither of these temperatures would (or does) "vaporize the meat." That is the temperature that the meat is prepared at.

 * The meat is not "prepared at" that temperature. That's absurd. As a gimmick, the meat spends a few seconds in an oven that hot. But if the meat was left in there long enough to get past about 600 degrees F, all the water would vaporize and the fat would burn off, leaving a lump of carbon. Yummy! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.0.119.139 (talk) 20:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * That's the temperature of the surface the meat encounters at some point in the day, not necessarily at the actual moment of contact.

 * I'm not quite clear on what that has do to with the factual significance of a Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion - in any case, the article now says that it is "seared" (not prepared!) at that temperature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.3.145.60 (talk) 20:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The conversion from 1800F into Celsius is amusing, because 1800F is obviously an approximation, probably accurate within a hundred degrees F or so, while 982.2C implies nearly unobtainable precision in Ruth's ovens. Isn't there some way we can convert 1800F to 980C or 1000C, and skip the bogus accuracy? Snezzy (talk) 04:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Himalaya with Michael Palin is a 2004 BBC television series presented by comedian and travel presenter Michael Palin. It records his six-month trip around the Himalaya mountain range area. The trip covered only 4,800 km (3,000 miles) horizontally, but involved a lot of vertical travelling, including several treks into the mountains. The highest point attained by Palin was Everest Base Camp at 5,300 metres (17,500 feet).

A book by the same name written by Palin was published to accompany the series. This book contained both Palin's text and many pictures by Basil Pao, the stills photographer on the team. Basil Pao also produced a separate book of the photographs he took during the journey, Inside Himalaya, a large coffee-table style book printed on glossy paper.

Episode guide
The series is divided up into six one-hour episodes

Reviews
In The Guardian, Sam Wollaston praised Palin's quiet presenting and gentle mocking presenting style.

Simcha Dinitz

Simcha Dinitz (שמחה דיניץ, 23 June 1929 - 23 September 2003) was an Israeli statesman and politician. He served as Director General of the Prime Minister's office and political advisor to Prime Minister Golda Meir from 1969 to 1973, before becoming the Israeli Ambassador to the United States from 1973 to 1979. He had an overlapping appointment as the Non resident Ambassador to the Bahamas During the 1980s he was elected to the Knesset.

Dinitz played a major role in coordinating the weapons shipments to Israel received from the U.S. during the Yom Kippur War airlift in 1973, and was a member of the Israeli delegation during the Camp David peace talks with Egypt.

In the 1984 elections he was elected to the Knesset on the Alignment's list and served as a member of its Committee for Foreign and Defense Affairs. However, he resigned from the Knesset shortly before the 1988 elections.

From 1986 Dinitz served as Chairman of the Executive of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency for Israel. During his time in office, almost 1 million Jews (about 7% of the entire Jewish population in the world) emigrated to Israel from the Soviet Union and other countries. In addition, he coordinated Operation Solomon, in which over 14,000 Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to safety in Israel in one day in May 1991.

In 1995, Dinitz was forced to step down after he was indicted for two charges of theft. Dinitz claimed that these were accounting errors, and was tried in the Jerusalem District Court. He was acquitted of one charge and convicted of the other, but the conviction was overturned in an appeal to the Supreme Court of Israel.

Dinitz received his diplomatic training at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in the United States where he obtained both bachelor's and master's degrees.

A street in the Beit Hakerem neighborhood in Jerusalem is named after him.

Markham Regional Arboretum

The Markham Regional Arboretum (16 acre) is a natural arboretum located at 1202 La Vista Avenue, Concord, California, United States. The arboretum was founded in 1981 and is a work in progress, with most of the site still in a natural state.

History
Ira and "Bee" Markham, the original owners of the property, sold the parcel of land to the city of Concord in 1966. They requested that the area be kept as natural as possible, growing primarily local plants and trees for the area's residents to enjoy.

Markham Nature Park
Located closest to Cowell Road is the Markham Nature Park and Science Center. This park has an old farmhouse, used now as a classroom for GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) students. For one week at a time, GATE students come to the park and learn about the surroundings, and other science related topics. The students go on hikes and learn about the trees and birds, take a day to collect samples from Galindo Creek which flows through the park, and care for the many animals that reside in the Markhams' old farmhouse. The animals range from snakes to mice to turtles, and a toad named "Alligator" who lives in the bathtub. For the night, most of the children receive an assigned animal, taking it home and caring for it.

Introduction
I am Broken. I am here for a reason. I put my poems here. Please comment on them.

I enjoy manga, be it shōjo or shonen, and have read Fruits Basket, Hunter × Hunter, Ranama 1/2, Rurouni Kenshin, Basara, DNAngel and many other books. My favorite manga by far is Inu-Yasha, a series that have grown to love.

Recent news
I have created an account at deviantART. You can view my submissions here

Contributions
I have made many edits, but most of them are just grammer and spelling. I hope to contribute to the poetry article, although it is of such high quality that I don't have anything to contribute. I also police the poetry sandbox and helped to implement the voting system that allows poems to be honored or deleted.

My first article will doubtless be on a manga, such as Flower of the deep sleep, PhD(Phantasy Degree), or another brand new manga. I may also write an article on the subject of female wrestling, its impact, its supporters, its critics, and related laws. If you have information relating to my planned article, such as its existence already, please leave a note on my talk page.

Poems
If you would like to put some of your own poems in a place where others can see them, please go to the poetry section of the sandbox or here. If you put poems on the poetry page, you may notice how many poems there are that are not of as high quality as one would wish, and also that there are poems that strike you as brilliant and should be honored somehow. You can vote to honor or delete poems as you wish.

<!--===You dont know me===

You don’t know me—you never will Look inside for your deepest hell Find the battle of the flame and fire The same & different against the darkness & liars Bottled inside this is what fuels us But watch too closely & watch it turn to dust Like the mist as you breath upon a window Against the inside your mask is just a symbol Now you know that you do not know So remember this and watch me grow

Another mask to hide my face I’m still at the starting line in the human race This is not for help a plea You don’t know me—don’t rescue me.

Masks
I hide beneth these masks They are all I can see in the mirror They are part of me They are who I am.

Took our rights away
We took our rights away, Saved them for a rainy day. We took our right, To keep our rights, We took our rights away.

But now the sky looks clear, Like rain was never even here, Our rights are gone, But for how long? And now the sky looks clear.

Not all alone
Draw heat from the fact that we are not all alone We must warm ourselves within the warmth of love The world is too cold for you to stay out alone Come, share your soul with mine and we’ll brave the storm together Keeping each other warm with the warmth of our love On the freezing cold day on which we celebrate getting cozy On the fourteenth day of the second month of the fifth year after two towers fell A day named after a saint preaching love and enlightenment A day to cozy up and get to know everyone around you And to forever remember that you are loved, and always will be, That you are a valued person whom others care for Others who will show you by giving you a card with a heart A card that may simply say, “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Draw heat from the fact that we are not all alone. Bask in the heat of all of our love.

Rose
A single tear rolled down his pale face and he tastes it, bitter sweet melting on his tongue, as he struggles against the weeping within.

He held a rose, bright against his pale, grief stricken face and black suit, the only spot of color, yet it belonged there, contrasting with the greyness of the rain, the sorrowed faces, the solemn silence.

The rose suddenly became a symbol for all she meant to him; her bright colorful personality had brought life to the mellow, drab life he would now return to.

But he could not think of her, he somehow could not, he must think of the rose, the rose, the single rose, pale moonlight as pale as his tear streaked face, giving it an eerie glow as he fought not to think of her luminous face, he must think of the rose …

Grey is the sky above, rain pounded down all around him, unaware of his struggle with himself, pattering on the umbrella, an unknown accompaniment to his tears.

Who?
Who am I? I, who stands before myself in the mirror, Glistining, naked in the moonlight. Clothed like the day I was born, In only my smooth skin.

Here I stand before myself, Defenseless, And yet still, I know not who I am.

When all my masks are stripped away, I still cannot see. I am lost, somewhere inside My soul is hiding from me.

Who are you? Do you know? I don't know either

Can you help? Someone, anyone? Tears shine in my eyes as I plead, Beg for something, anything, Anything to hold on to.

I shake my head And turn away from the mirror. It cannot help me And neither can you.

No one can help me. I am not helpless, Just beyond help.

Beyond hope. Beyond hope of seeing who I really am.

I have given up forever.

I (I am)
I am on a road to nowhere I am running as fast as I can. I seek to find someone to help me I seek for nothing; no one can.

I am floating on a raft I am not within sight of land I cannot see through the clear water I cannot see even my own hand.

I am unable to see myself I am not looking anymore. I run away from my reflection I run away from the blood and gore

I am looking at my hands I am seeing only blood. I scream at the pain I feel I scream but my mouth fills with mud.

I am screaming at myself I am screaming at the world. I die wanting to go away I die but a little girl.br>

All I want
All I want is to know myself All I want is you to go away. All I want is to know what's missing All I want is you to stay. -->

List of shopping centres in Norway

The first shopping centre in Norway was built in Bærum in 1953. New shopping centres came up in the 1960s and the 1970s, but the explosion of shopping malls didn't start before the end of the 1980s when Kvadrat, City Syd and several other large malls were built.

Tony Canadeo

Anthony Robert Canadeo (May 5, 1919 – November 29, 2003) was an American professional football player who was a back in the National Football League (NFL) for the Green Bay Packers from 1941 to 1952, having missed most of the 1944 season and the entire 1945 season while serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, he attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, played football for the Bulldogs, and earned the nickname "Gray Ghost of Gonzaga".

Canadeo was selected by the Packers in the 1941 NFL draft.

Before the war, Canadeo was a triple-threat halfback for the Packers, leading the team in rushing and passing in 1943. When he returned from the war in 1946, he served primarily as a running back, and in 1949 became the third player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 or more yards in a season.

He retired as the Packers' all-time rushing yards leader. Canadeo's number 3 was retired by the Packers immediately following his retirement as a player. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 1974.

After his playing career, Canadeo worked as a color commentator for CBS television, covering Packers games with Ray Scott. He also was a long-time member of the Green Bay Packers, Inc. Board of Directors and Executive Committee, most notably during the Vince Lombardi era.

Canadeo died in 2003 at the age of 84.

Early years and college
Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Canadeo attended Charles P. Steinmetz Academic Centre, formerly known as Steinmetz High School, a public four-year high school located in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood.

Canadeo played college football at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, where he was first known as the "Gray Ghost of Gonzaga," due to his prematurely graying hair. Of Italian ancestry, he was named an "outstanding Italian American athlete" for 1939 by the National Italian American Civic League. Others honored included New York Yankees' center fielder Joe DiMaggio and golfer Gene Sarazen.

As a senior in 1940, Canadeo starred in Gonzaga's 13–7 upset win over the heavily favored University of Detroit in November. The football program was dropped after 1941, and he was its last alumnus to play pro football. He also boxed for the Bulldogs during his senior year, and was named team captain.

Professional career
Canadeo was not particularly fast or elusive, and was smaller than average NFL players even for his time. However, he was a determined and tenacious player. Contemporary Jim Benton called him one of the three toughest players to tackle, alongside Frank Sinkwich and Steve Van Buren. He was also versatile, playing multiple positions on offense, defense, and special teams. This versatility caused Packers head coach Curly Lambeau to take notice, despite Gonzaga being a smaller college.

Pre-war
Canadeo was selected by the Packers in the ninth round with the 77th overall pick of the 1941 NFL draft, held in December 1940. By August 13, Canadeo was one of only seven players to sign a contract with the team out of the twenty Green Bay had drafted. Most of the remaining unsigned players either joined the military or chose not to play professional football. Lambeau looked to use Canadeo to bolster a backfield that included aging stars Clarke Hinkle and Arnie Herber. Before the season, Canadeo competed with Herber and Cecil Isbell for the starting quarterback role. He starred in an exhibition game against the New York Giants, as he and Frank Balasz led a scoring march through a muddy field in the third quarter.

Herber was waived by the Packers at the end of training camp and Isbell became the Packers' quarterback, while Canadeo had a reserve role in the offense as a rookie in 1941. That season, he played in the first ever NFL playoff game (unscheduled divisional tiebreaker), in which he picked up seven yards on five carries as the Packers lost 33–14 to the eventual NFL champion Chicago Bears. As a backup to Isbell in 1942, Canadeo passed for 310 yards and rushed for 272 more. One of his three touchdown passes was a toss to receiver Don Hutson from one inch away from the goal line. When scolded by one of his coaches for passing so close to the goal line, Canadeo quipped, "Cecil Isbell tossed a four-incher not long ago for a record and I wanted to beat it – you don't get an opportunity like that very often."

In 1943, Isbell quit his playing career to coach for Purdue University, his alma mater. Canadeo took over for Isbell at tailback and led the Packers that season in both rushing and passing yards. He gained 489 yards and three touchdowns on 94 carries, had 875 passing yards and nine touchdowns, and scored two touchdowns as a receiver. He and Harry Clarke of the Bears battled for the rushing title late in the season, but Canadeo ultimately finished fifth in the league in yardage. After the season, he was named a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press.

World War II
Canadeo's honorable discharge from the navy in August 1943 had allowed him to play for the Packers that season. However, he played in only three games during the 1944 season, missing the team's victory in the NFL Championship Game due to service in World War II. During the war, he first served in the U.S. Navy, then joined the U.S. Army and missed all of the 1945 season.

Post-war
Canadeo returned in 1946, and in February he and several other Packers players received offers to play in the All-America Football Conference, a rival league to the NFL. He turned down the offer and during the season became Green Bay's primary running back. He remained in that position for the next four seasons while still occasionally passing the ball. He led the Packers in rushing yards in each of those four seasons. In 1948, he was named a second-team All-Pro by United Press and Pro Football Illustrated.

Canadeo became the first Packer and the third ever in the NFL to rush for 1,000 yards in a season when he rushed for 1,052 yards in 1949. However, he failed to win the rushing title, as Steve Van Buren of the Eagles claimed it with a record 1,146 yards. The two running backs ran a close race for the rushing yards lead throughout the season, with Canadeo leading for much of it. With three games to play, Canadeo was ahead of Van Buren 831 yards to 792. Van Buren's 205 yards against the Steelers the next game to put him ahead for good. Despite Canadeo's output the Packers struggled to a 2–10 (.160) record, and founder Lambeau resigned as head coach.

Sharing running back duties with Billy Grimes in 1950 under new head coach Gene Ronzani, Canadeo was fourth on the team in rushing yards, but scored four touchdowns. Grimes, who led the team in rushing yards and touchdowns, was quick to give Canadeo credit. "Tony Canadeo is one of the toughest players I ever played with," he said. "He did a lot of blocking for me, and that helped me a lot."

Canadeo's production and carries dropped over his final two seasons, but in 1951 he caught a career-high 22 passes. He retired after the 1952 season, having carried 1,025 times for 4,197 yards and 26 touchdowns in his career. His carries and rushing yards totals were Packers records at the time. He also passed for 1,642 yards and sixteen touchdowns, and caught 69 passes for 579 yards and five more scores. In addition to his accomplishments on offense, Canadeo recorded nine career interceptions on defense, and before the war was the team's primary punter.

Career statistics

 * Note: Only offensive statistics shown below. Canadeo also served as a kicker, punter, kick returner, punt returner, and defensive back and thus recorded statistics on defense and special teams.

Legacy and later life
Sportswriter Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said of Canadeo in 2003, "Of all the players, coaches, and executives who left an imprint on the Packers organization, none did it for longer than the affable Canadeo." Canadeo is one of six Green Bay Packers to have his number retired by the team. His number (3) was retired immediately after he left the NFL in 1952, preceded by Don Hutson (14) in 1951 and followed by Bart Starr (15) in 1973, Ray Nitschke (66) in 1983, Reggie White (92) in 2005, and Brett Favre (4) in 2015. In 1961, kicker Ben Agajanian, who played only three games for the Packers, wore Canadeo's No. 3 after being assigned it by mistake.

The Helms Athletic Foundation named Canadeo to its football hall of fame in 1957. He joined former teammates Clarke Hinkle, Arnie Herber, and Don Hutson. In 1973, he was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

Canadeo was elected to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 1974, which he described as a dream come true. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame the same year, the first player from Gonzaga to be so honored, edging Ray Flaherty by two years. He remains the only player from the 1941 draft class inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Two years before his induction in Canton, Canadeo received a kidney transplant, which was donated by his son Robert. Robert played football for the University of Colorado in the 1960s.

After his playing career, Canadeo continued his association with the Packers as a television color analyst—calling the team's games with Ray Scott on CBS in the 1960s—and a member of the organization's executive committee. He remained listed as one of the directors emeritus until his death in 2003. He worked as a sales representative in Green Bay for Whittaker Metals during the 1970s. Canadeo and his wife, Ruth, married in 1943 during the football season. The Packers lost the following game, causing coach Lambeau to say there would never be another wedding during the season. Canadeo and Ruth remained together until his death in Green Bay in 2003 at the age of 84.

Carla's Song

Carla's Song is a 1996 film directed by Ken Loach and written by Paul Laverty, that deals with the impact of the Contra War in Nicaragua. It is a United Kingdom–Spain–Germany co-production.

Plot
Set in 1987, Carla's Song tells the story of love in a time of war. The plot follows the relationship between a Scottish bus driver, George Lennox (Robert Carlyle) and Carla (Oyanka Cabezas), a Nicaraguan refugee living in Glasgow. George first encounters Carla when she sneaks onto his bus without paying the fare. They go out for coffee but Carla seems hesitant to tell George anything about her life or where she's from. When Carla needs a place to stay George arranges for her to stay at his friend's place.

Later George returns to his friend's flat and finds Carla in the bathtub where she has slit her wrists. George takes her to the hospital where he learns that Carla also attempted suicide six weeks ago. George stays by Carla's side in the hospital while she is recovering.

Carla later explains that she read letters from her boyfriend, Antonio (Richard Loza), which she had never been able to open before. She was so horrified by the content of the letters that she tried to take her own life. Carla tells him that she doesn't know what happened to her boyfriend Antonio or to her family and asks George to hold her. She appears to be haunted by her past and suffering the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder.

George decides they need to return to a war-torn Nicaragua to find out what happened to Antonio and Carla's family. George begins to learn and about the U.S.-sponsored Contra insurgency against the Sandinistas. When they return to Nicaragua, they find Bradley, a U.S. citizen who is working as an aid worker and helping other U.S. citizens document human rights abuses conducted by the Contras. Bradley claims that he doesn't know the whereabouts of Carla's boyfriend and says that he will be heading North soon and that Carla should join him.

While Carla and George are taking a truck to the North of the country, the truck engine overheats and explodes in a burst of steam making a sound resembling gunfire. Carla completely breaks down and becomes catatonic when she hears this, and George tries to comfort her. Bradley happens by in a 4x4 and offers to take them off the truck and give them a ride while attempting to calm Carla down.

Bradley later admits that Antonio has been staying with him. Carla tells Bradley that he needs to let go of his past, which he seems to be struggling with also. Carla has terrible night horrors where she relives the experience of being in the revolution and their group being attacked by the Contras. In the nightmare, Carla is shot in the back several times yet manages to flee while the Contras descend on Antonio who falls after being shot. Carla's watches on in horror from some bushes.

On the way to Carla's family, a group of Sandinistas warns them that there are Contra fighters in the area. Carla finds her family and introduces George to them. Later that night, heavily armed Contras attack the village. The Contras kill many people and huge explosions go off around the village, while Sandinista villagers return fire.

In the morning George discovers that Carla and Antonio have a baby daughter. George asks Carla to return to Glasgow with him and bring the baby, but Carla refuses. George meets Bradley who seems absolutely incensed. Bradley explains that the Contras, who are operating out of Honduras, are a CIA-organized and funded group. Bradley then explains how Antonio was captured by the Contras, who used CIA torture methods. The Contras cut out Antonio's tongue, broke his spine in several places with rifle butts leaving him paralysed, and poured acid on his face, all while Carla watched from her hiding place in the bushes.

George breaks down when he hears what Carla has suffered through and runs to find her. George finds Carla's family who gives him a letter which Carla left for him. The letter says that Carla is heading north to find Antonio, and implies she may try to take her own life again. George steals a bus and Bradley joins him to help find Carla. They head to Bradley's village and find Carla in a room curled up and terrified of reuniting with Antonio. George encourages her to visit Antonio and explains that she will have to do this alone, that he can't do it with her.

Antonio is sitting on a stool in Bradley's house, a guitar in hand. Antonio's face is severely disfigured from the acid mutilation. Antonio reaches out to Carla and begins to play his guitar. Carla tearfully sings her song in accompaniment with the guitar. George prepares to return to Glasgow the next day, having found closure as both he and Carla keep one another in their hearts.
