Robert Swift

Robert Christen Swift (born December 3, 1985) is an American former professional basketball player who last played for Spanish club Círculo Gijón Baloncesto y Conocimiento of the LEB Plata league. He played in the National Basketball Association for the Seattle SuperSonics / Oklahoma City Thunder from 2004 through 2009, for the Seattle Aviators and Snohomish County Explosion of the National Athletic Basketball League in 2010, and for the Tokyo Apache of the bj League in 2010–11. He stands at 7 ft and played the center position.

High school
Swift caught the attention of NBA and college scouts while playing for Garces Memorial High School, and then later as the centerpiece of the Bakersfield High School team.

During his time at Garces, the small Catholic high school broke into the USA Today top-25 high school basketball team rankings. Between his junior and senior years, Swift transferred from Garces to Highland High School, and then just before his senior year, he transferred to Bakersfield High School. This move provoked a hearing by the California Interscholastic Federation that initially declared Swift ineligible for the 2003–04 season; however, this ruling was later overturned and he played his senior season. He committed to attend the University of Southern California (USC) to play for the USC Trojans men's basketball team on a scholarship.

National Basketball Association
Swift was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round with the twelfth overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft. Swift bypassed college and opted for the NBA, turning down his commitment to play for USC.

In his first season with the Sonics, Swift played in 16 games, averaging 4.5 minutes, 0.9 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks per game. In his second season, under the direction of coach Bob Hill, he started 20 out of 47 games, averaging 21 minutes, 6.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game.

In 2006, the Sonics anticipated that Swift would become their starting center. Swift was awarded the starting job at center but he ruptured the anterior crucial ligament in his right knee after playing just over one minute in a preseason game vs the Sacramento Kings. The resulting injury occurred when he twisted his right knee when he fell and went out of bounds awkwardly in front of the Seattle bench. Swift suffered another injury to his right knee in February 2008, a torn lateral meniscus.

Swift's final NBA game was played on April 13, 2009, in a 83–113 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers where he recorded 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks. On December 22, 2009, the Oklahoma City Thunder renounced the rights to Swift.

D-League and Japan
In 2009, Swift joined the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA D-League. However, he left the team for personal reasons after appearing in two games. He was overweight and experienced a decrease in mobility.

During the 2010–11 season, Swift played for Tokyo Apache with his former head coach in Seattle, Bob Hill. Swift played well, receiving interest from the NBA's Boston Celtics and New York Knicks. Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the Apache ended their season prematurely and disbanded. Swift tried out for the Portland Trail Blazers in April 2011, but was not offered a contract.

Spain
On 12 February 2018, Swift returned to play basketball after agreeing a two-year contract with Spanish fifth tier club Círculo Gijón.

In his second season in Spain, the club achieved a vacant place in the professional third-tier league, LEB Plata. He left the team after the end of the season averaging 9.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. However, Swift came back to Círculo Gijón on 29 December 2019.

Personal life
Robert's father, Bruce, was unable to work for two years due to a car accident that occurred while Robert was a child. He filed for bankruptcy twice: in 1999 and 2003. Robert's mother, Rhonda, was diagnosed with cancer and had multiple surgeries to remove it. The Swifts dealt with food insecurity.

In 2009, Swift's girlfriend became pregnant. In June 2011, Swift was arrested for driving under the influence. He was found guilty of reckless driving.

In 2013, Swift refused to vacate his foreclosed home, which had been bought by a new owner. The new owner bought the house in Sammamish, Washington, in January 2013 for half the price Swift paid in 2006. Swift eventually left the home, which was reportedly riddled with animal feces, guns, bullets, beer bottles, and garbage. Observers also noted old letters from some of the top college basketball programs in the country trying to recruit Swift, before he went straight to the NBA from high school.

In October 2014, police raided the house of Trygve Bjorkstam, an alleged heroin and methamphetamine dealer, who had a collection of 18 guns. They found Swift living in the home, and in possession of a sawed-off shotgun. In November 2014, police charged Swift with unlawful possession of a short-barreled shotgun.

On January 8, 2015, Swift was arrested by police for involvement in an armed home invasion attempt. Swift claimed he was high on drugs at the time of the incident.

Talk:Bill Haywood

"At the invitation of CPUSA member Gus Hall, Idaho newspaper reporter John Chapple traveled to Moscow in late 1927"
This seems implausible. Hall was 17 years old at the time. (He was born in 1910.) Could he already have had sufficient connections to invite a journalist to meet Haywood??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.112.148.128 (talk) 19:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

"Lenin's illness and death and Stalin's rise to power ended his role as an advisor to the Soviet [labour] movement"
Why would those two incidents end his involvement???

-G

 * Haywood's most active participation ended while Lenin was ill, and Haywood had little connection to Stalin, so the basic facts appear to be true.

 * Haywood and Lenin had a working relationship. Lenin had celebrated Haywood's arrival, and had private conversations with him. The two of them signed an agreement in November of 1921 that Haywood would help to develop an industrial colony in Western Siberia. Six months later, in May of 1922, Lenin had his first stroke. Lenin was paralyzed on one side, and became much less active in government. But Haywood's health was also failing. In 1922, Haywood left the colony in the harsh Siberian climate and returned to Moscow to continue his work at the project's office, hoping that his health would improve.

 * In December of 1922, Lenin had a second stroke, and in March of 1923, Lenin's third stroke left him bedridden and unable to talk. Two months after that-- in May of 1923-- Haywood resigned from the industrial colony project. Lenin died in 1924.

 * Although he spent time trying to learn the Russian language, Haywood never became fluent. He was therefore quite isolated except for occasional visits from exiles and IWW members, and he tended to stay out of the pervasive Russian pastime of politicking. He was quoted, "These Russians attach a hell of a lot to idealogical theory and mark my words, if they're not careful, they'll come to blows about it one of these days. Don't you know yet that most of them would sooner talk that work-- or even eat." This was, of course, quite different from Haywood's origins as a laborer and miner.

 * Haywood's writings during his Russian period referred frequently to Lenin, but almost never to Stalin. Haywood died in 1928, the same year that Stalin consolidated his power.

 * It seems likely that, in the years before his death, Haywood was depressed and disappointed that the U.S. government prevented his return to his own society and culture. He had asked to return after being in Russia for just three months, even if it meant some prison time, but his lawyer couldn't obtain favorable conditions.

 * In 1926 Haywood took a Russian wife, and communicated with her mostly in sign language. Little is known about their relationship, but it seems likely that he was responding to a deep-seated loneliness and disappointment that Russia wasn't what he had anticipated.

 * best wishes, Richard Myers 11:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't an encyclopedia article about "Big Bill" Haywood tell the reader how big Haywood was? How tall was Haywood and roughly how much did he weigh? Can a Wikipedian add this information?

-- Andrew Szanton, October 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.15.119.164 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 23 October 2006

 * There's a nice passage in Bruce Watson's Bread and Roses (ISBN 0-670-03397-9), pg. 91: "And he was not as big as his nickname suggested. Newspapers had listed him "well over six feet," even "close to seven feet," but he actually stood five foot eleven.  At 240 pounds, his expansive waistline earned him his nickname, but the moniker applied equally to his life." -David Schaich Talk/Cont 20:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

To-do list
In order of priority (in the opinion of JerryOrr):
 * 1) Elaborate on 1918 trial for violation of Espionage Act
 * 2) Expanded this section, though more content is welcome! --JerryOrr 01:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Expand Western Federation of Miners and Industrial Workers of the World sections, giving more details of specific labor events (such as the Lawrence Textile Strike) and his involvement in the Socialist Party
 * 4) Some information here
 * 5) An e-text on early 20th century labor, with some commentary on Haywood here
 * 6) Also interesting
 * 7) IWW timeline from the IWW site (could be a little biased, but a good starting point at least)
 * 8) Give more info in Early Life
 * 9) Expand Murder Trial section; seems brief, even rushed
 * 10) See Douglas Linder's research on the trial here
 * 11) Find sources for the sections tagged with
 * 12) Add a Legacy section, with discussion of praise and criticism of Haywood

After this to-do list is done, this article could probably be submitted for peer review, and perhaps continue on to good article or even featured article status. --JerryOrr 19:46, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The article is looking good. Bruce Watson's Bread and Roses (ISBN 0-670-03397-9) is all about the Lawrence strike and has a lot of information about Haywood (including his early life), though I haven't finished reading it yet.  My main problem with the article as it stands is the "Labor philosophies" section, which seems a rump.  If it's going to be in the article, it should at least mention industrial unionism, syndicalism and One Big Unionism, though some of that details may fit more comfortably in other articles.  I'll see if I can add to it before too long.  -David Schaich Talk/Cont 20:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I have added an industrial unionism section to the (slightly renamed) "Haywood's labor philosophy" section. Because this touches upon socialism, and upon the IWW, the article now has a couple of repetitive themes. I think it isn't too bad, perhaps even necessary to cover all the given territory, but some feedback on this question would be helpful. Richard Myers 01:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * It looks good for the most part (all nicely sourced). I tried to clean up a few links (you don't need to worry about capitalizing the first letter -- that's taken care of automatically, so craft unionism can just be craft unionism ), but kept getting edit conflicts.  (You can use the "show preview" button to get more done without having to save so often.)  My main concern is that the tone of some of your additions may not be what one would expect from an encyclopedia ("General Bell, it just happened, was..." jumped out at me), but that can be corrected in time. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 06:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm adding a miniature, temporary, minutely-more-helpful intro while this is sorted out. 24.99.162.112 (talk) 23:10, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Mistakes in the Haywood article
The intro mentions,

 * "the Colorado Labor Wars (which culminated in the Ludlow massacre)..."

This is flat wrong. [NOW FIXED] The Ludlow Massacre involved the UMWA, which was not Haywood's union. Haywood was not in any way involved. (In fact, he had a long-running ideological dispute with the leaders of the UMWA, for they undercut the WFM on occasion, and were much less militant. In fact, after buying rifles for the Ludlow era strikers, as a response to Baldwin Felts agents machine gunning the Forbes colony-- even during the most intense days of fighting after the Ludlow colony was burned, the UMWA held the miners in check to the extent that they were able.)

The "wars" between Colorado miners and the Colorado authorities also did not "culminate" with the Ludlow Massacre; they "culminated" with the Columbine Massacre in 1927. Yet the expression "Colorado Labor Wars" as a specific term refers most often to the bloody struggles of the WFM from approximately 1903 to 1905.

I will remove the Ludlow reference. Richard Myers 01:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Under section "Western Federation of Miners involvement" we find:

 * "The WFM initiated a series of strikes to combat the brutal working conditions and starvation wages."

 * This is actually not true [AND STILL NEEDS ATTENTION]. The Cripple Creek miners certainly faced dangerous conditions, but they were far from starving. They had the most powerful union organization in the country at that time, and their wages were quite respectable. The strikes were actually called for the purpose of extending WFM membership to the mill workers who processed the ore. Richard Myers 01:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC) [REMOVED "starvation wages" FROM ARTICLE, HOWEVER, THIS IS WITHIN SOMEONE'S REFERENCE, SO I HAVE NOT ADDED EXTENDING WFM MEMBERSHIP TO MILL WORKERS] Richard Myers 19:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * In the section "Murder Trial" we find:

 * "After Darrow's final summation (which moved some jurors to tears), the jury acquitted him, along with Pettibone..."

 * This is an error. [NOW FIXED] Haywood and Pettibone had separate trials. Both were acquitted by their respective juries. Darrow defended Haywood, but Pettibone was defended by Judge Hilton of Denver after Darrow withdrew due to illness. Richard Myers 12:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC) [CHANGES MADE TO THE ARTICLE] Richard Myers 19:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I considered adding a citation for this text:

 * Foundation of the Industrial Workers of the World

 * Late in 1904, Haywood along with over 30 other prominent labor radicals, met in Chicago to lay down plans for a new revolutionary union.

However, my quick research suggests that this information is wrong. In "The I.W.W.: Its First Seventy Years", by Fred Thompson, i find that there were six men at the November 1904 conference, all named on page 6 of that book, and none of them were Haywood. Big Bill did, however, attend the January 1905 meeting, along with 22 others.

I check Haywood's autobiography, and it does not mention a 1904 conference (other than that for the WFM,) and does mention the January conference, but states that about 30 were invited to that. So i'll plan to change these details later. But if anyone in the meantime has a source for a gathering of 30 in 1904, with Haywood in attendance, please let us hear about it so we will know to get additional confirmation. Richard Myers 04:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I think I added that statement, though it may have been there when I started reworking the article. I'll see if I can track down a citation for it, but if your souce turns out to be better, then feel free to change it. --JerryOrr 13:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay, I did a little digging, and I did not put that section in there. It was in the entirely unsourced version of the article, before I started working on it. I didn't want to remove it because I didn't have evidence otherwise. I just looked through my sources again, and didn't see anything about it. Since you have no evidence of that either, I'll remove it! --JerryOrr 22:50, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow!
I've been on a bit of a Wikipedia hiatus, and now I see that my pet article has grown quite a bit! Thank you to everyone who has helped improve this article; I've been imploring the Organized Labour project to help out, but it was a one-man show for a long time. I eventually just ran out of steam (I'm not a professional writer, as you can probably tell). I'm glad to see this article is getting some work, because I think Bill Haywood is greatly underappreciated. I'll try to provide what input I can as you continue giving this a facelift... --JerryOrr 13:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Good Article nomination
I've nominated this article for Good Article status. I see that as a first step before peer review, then Featured Article nomination. Just thought I'd let you all know... --JerryOrr 22:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Good Article on hold
I like this article a lot, but I'd like to see more in-line citations, particularly in the opening paragraphs. "Never one to shy from conflict ..." ought to be cited or it could be seen as original research, for instance. Someone in one of the bios must have expressed that opinion so you can cite a page number. For a featured article, there really should be an inline citation after pretty much every sentence. If some of that can be fixed, I'll gladly pass this as a GA.--Bookworm857158367 15:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I have added a little detail, and provided inline citations for much of the industrial unionism section. Will look at the following section soon. Richard Myers 07:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I have also finished with Haywood's revolutionary imperative. These are the two sections that i've added to this article, and which i have essentially completed on my own (aside from someone re-formatting references.) I've worked just a bit on the last section, but it is mostly someone else's work. Richard Myers 09:49, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I've also added a few more citations for the sections I've worked on. It doesn't exactly have a citation "after pretty much every sentence", but I think it's pretty well cited. Is this ready for GA? --JerryOrr 16:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've passed it for GA. It looks good right now. Very interesting article. --Bookworm857158367 16:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Fine-tuning the article
I note that Boyce is introduced twice, with somewhat similar text. Does this seem redundant, or is it OK considering that some readers will jump in to the article at different points?

Also, the section Socialist Party of America involvement needs some attention.

This is part of the original text:

 * However, the aggressive tactics of Haywood and the IWW, along with their call for the overthrow of capitalism and existing governmental institutions created tension with more moderate members of the Socialist Party. Haywood and the IWW focused on direct action and strikes, which often led to violence, and were less concerned with political tactics.[7] In a party opposed to violence and dedicated to respectability, Haywood baldly advised socialists and workers to practice sabotage and risk imprisonment to foster revolution. This conflict eventually led to Haywood's recall from the National Executive Committee in January of 1913;[8] thousands of IWW members left the Socialist Party with him.[7]

I have made a slight change, and anticipate another:

 * However, the aggressive tactics of Haywood and the IWW, along with their call for abolition of the wage system and the overthrow of capitalism created tension with more moderate members of the Socialist Party. Haywood and the IWW focused on direct action and strikes, which often led to violence, and were less concerned with political tactics. In a party opposed to violence and dedicated to respectability, Haywood baldly advised socialists and workers to practice sabotage and risk imprisonment to foster revolution. This conflict eventually led to Haywood's recall from the National Executive Committee in January of 1913; thousands of IWW members left the Socialist Party with him.

In spite of the common assumption, the IWW actually did not call for the overthrow of the government. In fact, the IWW has been criticized by Marxists and others because it has ignored government in its official statements, preamble, and constitution. This is a curious circumstance, considering that overthrowing the government would seem a necessary precondition for overthrowing capital. But that's the way it is, the idea of changing the government is implied by other announced goals but never officially stated as a goal.

The socialists who were part of the IWW for the first three years had believed that they could capture the government at the ballot box. When the workers in the IWW, disgusted with the machinations of the socialist politicians (particularly Daniel De León) during that three years, eschewed political action in the preamble and constitution at their convention in 1908, thus effectively expelling the socialists, they were determined to focus on industrial struggle rather than political struggle.

However, the IWW did specifically advocate abolition of the wage system in the preamble, and they were always anti-capitalist.

Now, all of this is complicated a bit by the fact that in his private and public pronouncements, Haywood sometimes went beyond what the IWW's official position was. He was persuaded that the Bolshevik revolution was "the IWW all feathered out!" But that was several years after he had left the socialists. So i opted to change the statement about government, rather than remove IWW from the statement and let it stand as Haywood's own view. I haven't read Siitonen, so i cannot absolutely verify the change matches the source, but i do know that the change i've made is historically accurate.

The other change that i'd like to make involves the sentence,

 * Haywood baldly advised socialists and workers to practice sabotage and risk imprisonment to foster revolution.

I don't think that is worded very accurately, nor well. But i need to think about how to fix it, and also check the given reference (if i am able.) Richard Myers 22:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I changed it to "Haywood openly advised socialists...", which might be a little better? --JerryOrr 22:42, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I added a quote from Haywood at the end of the Haywood's revolutionary imperative section. I think it's an important quote, though I'm not sure if I've incorporated it very well. Any thoughts? --JerryOrr 23:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I've incorporated that quote, smoothing the chronological transition with some slight re-arranging. It is a good quote, interesting, and i like the addition. I have, however, shifted the emphasis slightly back toward direct action, for that was what animated him the most ever since the failure of the 1903 strike. Haywood openly criticized DeLeon's philosophy of socialism in his autobiography. Of course that was the SLP, and Haywood always felt closer to Debs. On the other hand, he mentioned a couple of times in his autobiography that Debs didn't seem to "get it" ("it" being the concept of revolutionary industrial unionism), either.

 * See what you think of my rearrangement... Richard Myers 00:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I like how you rearranged it; I was trying to put it in chronological context, but I didn't like finishing the section on that note. Much better now... --JerryOrr 02:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * An interesting side note to Haywood's participation with the Socialist Party-- from the period 1908-1910, the IWW constitutionally prohibited any support for any political party by the IWW. Of course, this didn't rule out private participation on the part of members that was not in the name of the union. But, officials of political parties were also banned from IWW membership. (Not sure what year that became part of the IWW constitution.) Richard Myers 00:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm trying to clean up some of the references/inline citations (because I know that's something they'll point out in the peer review), and I was hoping I could get some more complete information for a couple of the sources. I would appreciate it if whoever used the references listed below could fill in more of the information (publisher, ISBN, etc). Or even just tell me the ISBN of the book; if I have that, I can fill in the rest myself (I don't mind).

 * Haywood, William [1929]. The Autobiography of Big Bill Haywood, paperback edition.
 * I ask because I don't know the specific edition or publisher, which makes a difference when referencing pages
 * Jameson, Elizabeth. All That Glitters: Class, Conflict, and Community in Cripple Creek. University of Illinois Press.
 * ''same reason as above
 * Lukas, 1997, pp. 233.
 * this one doesn't even have a book title

Also, if you know the ISBN of any book that is missing it, that improve the references.

Again, the main reason I'm picking on this is that I know it will come up either in peer review or FAC. --16:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Autobiography of Big Bill Haywood ISBN 0-7178-0011-3 (pbk)

 * Carlson/Roughneck ISBN 0-393-01621-8

 * Jameson/All That Glitters ISBN 0-252-06690-1 (pbk)

 * Each of these double-checked.

 * Richard Myers 17:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks a lot! I've updated those references. I also added the reference for Lukas... I'm assuming it was his book Big Trouble. I wondered why I recognized the name, and now I realize why... I actually read that book! I also went on the assumption that the page referenced was from the hardback edition, since that was published in 1997 (as the original citation said), and the paperback was published in 1998. --JerryOrr 18:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Peer review
I'm putting this article in for peer review, as the next step towards getting Featured Article status. Let's keep up the good work on this article! --JerryOrr 02:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Bill Haywood quotation about capital
"I've never read Marx's Capital, but I have the marks of capital all over me."

"I've never read Marx's Capital, but I have the mark of capital all over me."

"I've never read Marx's Capital, but I have the marks of capital all over my body."

What a delicious quote, in all its variations.

Michael Smith attributes it to Haywood, here:

http://www.dissidentvoice.org/May05/Smith0503.htm

Smith offers sources, but not footnotes.

It is also here:

'Who Can We Shoot?' Democratic Elitism, Marxism and American Progressivism By John F. Manley, Department of Political Science, Stanford University 1999

This essay originally appeared in the International Review of Sociology—Revue Internationale de Sociologie, Vol. 9, No. 2, 1999 (pp. 183—195)

(quoted in Lukas (1997, p. 233))

http://www.iefd.org/articles/who_can_we_shoot.php

And, it is in unattributed quote files on the web.

Ahhh, well, i think Lukas is likely to be our best source. Lukas would be:

Big Trouble: A Murder in a Small Western Town Sets Off a Struggle for the Soul of America, by J. Anthony Lukas, New York, Simon & Schuster, 875 pages, $32.50

However, i don't have that text handy. It is in nearby bookstores, and i could verify this. But does anyone else have quicker access?

Richard Myers 18:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, this is delicious
Bill Haywood on detectives:

 * A detective is the lowest, meanest and most contemptible thing that either creeps or crawls, a thing to loathe and despise. ... That you may know how small a detective is, you can take a hair and punch the pith out of it and in the hollow hair you can put the hearts and souls of 40,000 detectives and they will still rattle. You can pour them out on the surface of your thumbnail and the skin of a gnat will make an umbrella for them.

 * When a detective dies, he goes so low that he has to climb a ladder to get into Hell— and he is not a welcome guest there. When his Satanic Majesty sees him coming, he says to his imps, "Go get a big bucket of pitch and a lot of sulphur, give them to that fellow and put him outside. Let him start a Hell of his own. We don't want him in here, starting trouble."  Richard Myers 19:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

About "Haywood's revolutionary imperative"
I have revised the last couple of paragraphs of this section. Richard Myers 19:33, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

reverted for possible copyright violation
Someone (User_talk:Malplaquet) added the entire page from this website:

http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/haywood/HAY_CHRO.HTM

to the Bill Haywood article. I have reverted for inappropriate content in this article, and probable violation of copyright law. Richard Myers 06:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

About "racial unity"
I admit that i'm not fond of the title "Racial unity," because it doesn't describe how Haywood viewed racial unity, or why. I haven't come up with a good replacement, but something like "Haywood's belief in the unity of the working class," or "Haywood's belief in the racial unity of all workers" seem to me to capture the essence of the text better. Thoughts? Richard Myers 23:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree; when I added the section, I mainly just wanted to get something in there. Haywood's view on racial unity was enlightened at the time (and sadly, still more enlightened than many people today), and I had some good quotes, so I wanted to make sure it was noted.

 * I like where you're trying to go with those section titles, but I think the suggestions are too long. The next level up, "Haywood's labor philosophy" takes care of the first part of your suggestions, so how about something like Racial unity in the working class or Racial unity in the labor movement? --JerryOrr 00:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Alright, Richard, I'll go with Racial unity in the labor movement for now. If anyone thinks of something better, they are more than welcome to change it! --JerryOrr 01:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Ed Boyce & exclusion of foreign workers
I've requested a specific resource citation for the Boyce statement, here: User_talk:Tim1965

The original statement is in the Ed Boyce article:

Ed_Boyce

I know that Jameson covered this territory — that the WFM (at least in the Cripple Creek area) had a heritage of Asian exclusion — but she doesn't tie it directly to Boyce in her book about Cripple Creek, All That Glitters.

Jerry, i like both of your suggestions about the Racial unity section title. Richard Myers 00:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Hopefully we'll get a source regarding Boyce; I think you are correct in not using All That Glitters as a source for Boyce's thoughts on racial unity. By the way you describe it, I think it would constitute original research to state that Boyce was adverse to racial unity due to the WFM's exclusion of Asian workers. If we can't get a source for Boyce, we'll just have to make the statement more general. --JerryOrr 02:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

GA Sweeps
This article has been reviewed as part of WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.

The article is in a good shape, but some parts could still need references, including one "citation needed" tag. The "See Also" in the "Murder trial" section is out of place, it should be incorporated into the text, put in a footnote or placed in the general "See also" section at the bottom. One picture needs a caption, if anyone can dig up any information on it, and another one is used twice. Lampman (talk) 11:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Patterson station (SkyTrain)

Patterson is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located at the intersection of Central Boulevard and Patterson Avenue in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is the westernmost Expo Line station in Burnaby.

Location
The station is located at the northeastern fringe of Burnaby's Central Park, at the corner of Patterson Avenue and Central Boulevard. A stretch of the Expo Line west of the station runs through the park. Due to its proximity to Central Park, a large wooded park with trails leading to Swangard Stadium, the station is primarily used by local residents in the area.

History
Patterson station was built in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). The station is named after pioneer Dugald Campbell Patterson, who built the original interurban stop in the 1890s, then known as Patterson's Landing.

This station is located above the old right-of-way of the former Central Park Line of the British Columbia Electric Railway. This line formerly ran just west of where Nanaimo station is today, and continued east to where the current New Westminster station is located.

On May 6, 1986, Princess Diana and Prince Charles disembarked at Patterson station after riding the SkyTrain from Waterfront station during their visit to Vancouver and Expo 86.

In 2002, Millennium Line service was introduced to the station, which provided outbound service to VCC–Clark station (originally Commercial–Broadway) via Columbia station in New Westminster. This service was discontinued and replaced with the Expo Line branch to Production Way–University station in 2016.

Entrances
Patterson station is served by four entrances. The two main entrances are located at the southeast end of the station, one entrance faces Beresford Street and the stations bus loop, while the other entrance is adjacent to Central Boulevard. Two more entrances are located at the northwest end of the station, these two entrances are located within Central Park and do not allow access for the disabled.

Transit connections
Bus bay assignments are as follows:

1975–76 NFL playoffs

The National Football League playoffs for the 1975 season began on December 27, 1975. The postseason tournament concluded with the Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl X, 21–17, on January 18, 1976, at the Orange Bowl in Miami.

This was the first season in which the league used a seeding system in the playoffs. Thus, the surviving clubs with the higher seeds were made the home teams for each playoff round. The three division champions in each conference were seeded 1 through 3 based on their regular season won-lost-tied record, and the wild card qualifier in each conference (i.e., the conference's top non-division winner with the best overall regular season record) became the 4 seed.

Schedule
In the United States, NBC broadcast the AFC playoff games, while CBS televised the NFC games and Super Bowl X.

AFC: Pittsburgh Steelers 28, Baltimore Colts 10
Despite losing 5 turnovers, the Steelers forced 3 turnovers and held the Colts to 154 total yards of offense, while Pittsburgh's Franco Harris shredded Baltimore's defense with 153 rushing yards and a touchdown.

The Steelers scored first after linebacker Jack Ham's interception set up a 61-yard touchdown drive. Terry Bradshaw's 34-yard completion to receiver Frank Lewis paved the way for Harris's 8-yard scoring run. Baltimore responded in the second quarter when Lloyd Mumphord returned an interception 58 yards to set up Glenn Doughty's 5-yard touchdown catch from Marty Domres. Then Harris lost a fumble that was recovered by Nelson Munsey on the Steelers 19, leading to Toni Linhart's 27-yard field goal that gave Baltimore a 10–7 lead early in the second half.

On the second half kickoff, Munsey recovered a fumble from Steelers returner Dave Brown. But a few plays later, Pittsburgh cornerback Mel Blount intercepted a pass and returned it 20 yards to the Baltimore 7-yard line. From there, Rocky Bleier scored on a 7-yard rushing touchdown giving the Steelers a 14–10 lead. In the fourth quarter, a short punt from David Lee gave the Steelers favorable field position, and they scored on Bradshaw's 2-yard run, increasing their lead to 21–10. Now with the game slipping away, Colts coach Ted Marchibroda benched Domres (who had completed only 2 of 11 passes) and replaced him with Bert Jones (who had earlier left the game due to injury), who promptly gave the team a golden opportunity to rally back with a 58-yard completion to Doughty on the Steelers 3-yard line. But on the next play, Ham knocked the ball out of Jones's hand as he was winding up for a pass. Linebacker Andy Russell recovered the fumble and returned it for an NFL playoff record 93 yards to the end zone. Russell's play is claimed by some as the longest single football play in time duration. Sports Illustrated called the play the "longest, slowest touchdown ever witnessed."

"That play has been a source of embarrassment for me for years", said Russell several years later. "There have been so many jokes. Ray Mansfield was the one that said NBC cut to a commercial during the return and came back to catch me score the touchdown. Nonetheless, it was a memorable play in my career."

The game is also notable in that it was the debut game for Steelers fans' Terrible Towels.

This was the first postseason meeting between the Colts and Steelers.

NFC: Los Angeles Rams 35, St. Louis Cardinals 23
The Rams defense scored 2 touchdowns in the first half while running back Lawrence McCutcheon ran for an NFL playoff record 202 yards on 37 carries. Los Angeles started the game off with a 79-yard scoring drive, 51 of them from McCutcheon, on the way to a 5-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ron Jaworski. Then on the first Cardinals play, Rams linebacker Jack Youngblood intercepted a pass from Jim Hart and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown. St. Louis returner Terry Metcalf gave his team a chance to get back in the game with a 67-yard kickoff return, but they lost the ball again when Youngblood forced a fumble from Jim Otis that Fred Dryer recovered. Later on, Bill Simpson intercepted a pass from Hart on the first play of the second quarter and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown, making the score 21–0.

Dwayne Crump returned the ensuing kickoff 28 yards to the St. Louis 40-yard line, and the team came back to score on an 8-play, 60-yard drive, featuring a 21-yard reception by running back Jim Otis. Otis finished the possession with a 3-yard touchdown run, but the extra point was blocked by Youngblood and the Rams responded on the first play of their next drive with Jaworski's 66-yard touchdown pass to Harold Jackson, making the score 28–6. Shortly before the end of the half, Hart completed a 23-yard pass to Mel Gray that set up Jim Bakken's 39-yard field goal, cutting the score to 28-9 going into intermission.

In the third quarter, the Cardinals drove 80 yards in 12 plays, including a 19-yard reception by Metcalf, to score on Hart's 11-yard touchdown pass to Gray and cut their deficit to 28–16. But in the fourth quarter, Simpson intercepted another pass and returned this one 28 yards to the Cardinals 36-yard line. Receiver Ron Jessie eventually scored the final touchdown for the Rams when he recovered a fumble from McCutcheon and ran it into the end zone with just over 4 minutes left in the game. By the time Cardinals running back Steve Jones finished the ensuing 68-yard, 12-play drive with a 3-yard touchdown run, the game was well out of reach.

Youngblood had an outstanding performance. In addition to his 47-yard interception return for a touchdown, he also recorded a sack, blocked an extra point, and forced a fumble. Meftcalf racked up 229 total yards, (8 carries for 27 yards, 6 receptions for 94 yards, 2 kickoff returns for 102 yards, 2 punt returns for 6 yards). Jaworski completed 12/23 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown. Hart completed 22 of 41 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown, but was intercepted 3 times.

This was the Cardinals' last playoff game until 1982, and their last in a non-strike season until 1998, a decade after the franchise moved to Arizona.

This was the first postseason meeting between the Cardinals and Rams.

NFC: Dallas Cowboys 17, Minnesota Vikings 14
With 24 seconds to play, Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach threw a 50-yard winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Drew Pearson on a play that became known as the Hail Mary pass. Pearson's last-minute touchdown reception remains strong in Cowboys lore and sour with Vikings fans. To them, Pearson's touchdown should never have counted because they contend the officials missed two calls on the final Dallas drive, including offensive pass interference on Pearson in the touchdown reception.

The defenses of both teams dominated the first half. The Vikings' longest gain was a 16-yard run by quarterback Fran Tarkenton early in the second quarter. The Vikings eventually punted, and the ball hit the ground near returner Cliff Harris. Thinking that Harris had touched the ball, Dallas's Pat Donovan tried to dive on it, but the ball slipped away and was recovered by Minnesota's Fred McNeill on the Cowboys' 4-yard line. Chuck Foreman eventually took the ball into the end zone on a 1-yard score for a 7–0 Vikings lead. The Cowboys were able to move the ball on their next two drives, but the first ended with a missed field goal, and after a Mel Renfro interception sparked a drive to the Vikings 24, the Cowboys failed to convert a fourth-and-inches situation and the score was 7–0 at halftime.

Dallas mounted the first sustained scoring drive of the game with their first second-half possession. A late hit by Vikings linebacker Wally Hilgenberg turned Preston Pearson's 14-yard reception into a 29-yard gain. Then Staubach hit tight end Billy Joe Dupree for 17 yards to the Vikings' 19. Doug Dennison then rumbled for a 10-yard carry, and three plays later he tied the game on a 4-yard scoring run.

Early in the fourth quarter, Dallas took a 10–7 lead on a 24-yard field goal by Toni Fritsch. Following an exchange of punts, Tarkenton completed four of six passes for 37 yards on a 70-yard, 11-play drive, which included a 13-yard run on a reverse by Brent McClanahan. The third-year running back eventually finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run, giving the Vikings a 14–10 lead with 5:24 remaining. Dallas went three-and-out on its ensuing drive, giving the ball back to Minnesota with 3:12 left and giving the Vikings a chance to run out the clock. They forced Dallas to use up all of its timeouts, but on a third-and-two, Cowboys safety Charlie Waters broke through Foreman's block attempt and tackled Tarkenton for a 3-yard loss as time ran down to the two-minute warning. "That play cost us the game," Tarkenton later said. "It wasn't the Hail Mary pass. We had the game in control but didn't make the play."

The Cowboys got the ball back on their own 15-yard line with only 1:51 left. Staubach started the drive with a pair of completions to Pearson, who had not yet caught a pass in the game, moving the ball to the Dallas 31. However, on the next play, Staubach fumbled a low snap in shotgun formation and was downed for an 8-yard loss. A few plays later, facing fourth-down-and-16, he threw a 25-yard completion to Pearson to set up the winning "Hail Mary" pass. The fourth-and-16 completion foreshadowed events to come with its own controversy. Minnesota argued that Pearson would have been out of bounds regardless of a push when he made the catch. The official ruled he was forced out by Nate Wright. At the time, a catch by a receiver who was forced out of bounds in midair by a defender counted as a reception (this rule would change in 2008).

These two would participate in a more controversial play two plays later. After Preston Pearson dropped a wide-open pass in the middle of the field with 32 seconds left, Staubach launched a bomb to Drew Pearson, who caught the ball through tight coverage by Wright at the 4-yard line and ran into the end zone for a 50-yard scoring reception that Staubach, in a postgame interview, called a "Hail Mary" pass. That popularized the term to describe such a play. Wright, who was just in front of Pearson, fell as the ball came down, and the Vikings argued that Pearson pushed off and should have been flagged for offensive interference. The play drew the ire of Minnesota's Alan Page, who was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct for arguing with officials, and a 15-yard penalty was assessed that allowed Dallas to kick off from the 50. Tarkenton then vehemently argued with the referees but to no avail. Meanwhile, angry Minnesota fans threw objects onto the field, one of which was a liquor bottle that struck official Armen Terzian in the head, creating a forehead gash and rendering him unconscious. Terzian wore a bandage, later requiring 11 stitches, as he walked off the field. He was replaced by substitute official Charley Musser for the final two plays. The NFL later banned glass bottles from being sold at stadiums. The fan who threw the glass bottle at Terzian eventually was found by police, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault, and was sentenced to a $100 fine. Meanwhile, the Cowboys "Doomsday Defense" put the finishing touches on the team's victory by sacking Tarkenton on each of the final two plays of the game.

It was another disappointing end to a spectacular season for the Vikings. They had finished with an NFC-best 12–2 record. Their defense led the league with the fewest yards allowed. Tarkenton had won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award, and the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award, while Foreman amassed 1,761 all-purpose yards and 22 touchdowns. The day only got worse for Tarkenton. He soon learned his father had died of a heart attack while watching the game. The upstart and youthful Cowboys, not expected to do much after an 8–6 season in 1974 and the loss of several key veterans, would defeat the Rams and lose to Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl.

Staubach finished 17 of 29 for 246 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 24 yards. Drew Pearson caught four passes for 91 yards, all on Dallas's final game-winning drive. Foreman was the game's top rusher with 56 yards and a touchdown, and caught four passes for 42 yards. Dallas outgained Minnesota 356 yards to 215.

This was the third postseason game between the Cowboys and Vikings. The teams split the previous two meetings.

AFC: Oakland Raiders 31, Cincinnati Bengals 28
The Raiders outgained Cincinnati in total yards 358–258, rushing yards 173–97, and first downs 27–17, while also recording five sacks, jumping to a 31–14 lead, and holding off a frantic Bengals comeback in the final period.

Oakland kicker George Blanda made a 31-yard field goal, while quarterback Ken Stabler threw two touchdown passes in the first half, one for 9 yards to Mike Siani and an 8-yard one to Bob Moore. Cincinnati's lone score in the first half was an 8-play, 65-yard drive ending with a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Stan Fritts. The Raiders then scored on their first drive of the second half with running back Pete Banaszak's 6-yard touchdown run to take a 24–7 lead. Then after the Bengals marched 91 yards to cut the lead, 24–14, with Lenvil Elliott's 6-yard touchdown run, Stabler threw his third touchdown pass of the game, this time a 2-yard pass to tight end Dave Casper.

Trailing 31–14 in the fourth quarter, the Bengals managed to come back with two unanswered touchdowns. First, Ken Riley intercepted a pass from Stabler and returned it 34 yards to the Raiders 34-yard line, setting up Ken Anderson's 25-yard touchdown pass to Charlie Joiner. Then the Bengals defense forced Oakland to punt for the first time in the game, and Ray Guy's kick went just 38 yards. Three minutes later, Anderson's 14-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Curtis cut the score to 31–28. With 4:19 left in the game, Bengals defensive end Ron Carpenter recovered a Banaszak fumble on the Raiders 37-yard line. But on the next play, linebacker Ted Hendricks sacked Anderson for an 8-yard loss, pushing the Bengals out of field goal range. Anderson completed a 5-yard pass to Bruce Coslet on second down, but his next two passes were incomplete, resulting in a turnover. The Bengals managed to force a punt with 50 seconds left, but on a desperate attempt to block the kick that narrowly missed, linebacker Chris Devlin ran into Guy, drawing a penalty that gave the Raiders a first down and let them run out the clock.

"Al Davis went to a lot of trouble to get Hendricks on his team", Bengals coach Paul Brown bitterly remarked after the game. "And today it finally paid off for him". "I've never been prouder of a football team than the Cincinnati team we brought in here today", he added. "They never quit."

Stabler threw for 199 yards and three touchdowns, with 1 interception. Anderson threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns.

This was the first postseason meeting between the Bengals and Raiders.

AFC: Pittsburgh Steelers 16, Oakland Raiders 10
A defensive struggle in which both teams combined for 12 turnovers (7 for Pittsburgh, 5 for Oakland) turned into an offensive battle as the Steelers managed to stop the Raiders' final drive for the winning score as time ran out.

As the two dominant teams of the era in the AFC, Oakland and Pittsburgh would eventually face off in five consecutive playoff games from 1972 to 1976, including three consecutive AFC Championship games from 1974 to 1976.

Already bitter rivals dating back to the 1972 AFC Divisional Playoff game (see: the Immaculate Reception), Raiders' officials, including team owner Al Davis and head coach John Madden, accused the Steelers and Three Rivers Stadium groundskeepers of intentionally allowing the artificial playing surface to ice over, in an effort to slow Oakland's propensity for using a wide-open aerial attack as part of its offensive game plan.

The game started out ugly, as Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw was picked off twice in the first quarter. However, Oakland fared no better, as George Blanda's missed 38-yard field goal attempt after Bradshaw's second interception was the closest they would get to scoring in the first half. In the second quarter, Steelers safety Mike Wagner intercepted a pass from Ken Stabler to set up Roy Gerela's 36-yard field goal.

This would be the only score of the first three quarters. In the third quarter, the Raiders blew two big scoring chances. After recovering a fumbled punt by the Steelers, the Raiders got a first down on the Pittsburgh 16-yard line. Then quarterback Ken Stabler threw a short pass to Pete Banaszak, only to watch him fumble the ball as he turned upfield, and linebacker Jack Lambert recovered it. Then after Jack Tatum recovered a fumble from Lynn Swann at midfield, Oakland gave the ball back again when Lambert recovered a fumble from running back Clarence Davis on the Steelers 30-yard line. The turnover led to a 5-play, 70-yard drive that ended on running back Franco Harris's 25-yard touchdown run to give the Steelers a 10–0 lead. Oakland stormed back, scoring in less than two minutes on a drive that lasted just six plays, three of them receptions by tight end Dave Casper. Stabler finished the drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mike Siani that made the score 10–7.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Lambert recorded his third fumble recovery, this one from running back Marv Hubbard on the Oakland 25, setting up Bradshaw's 20-yard touchdown pass to receiver John Stallworth. Bobby Walden fumbled the snap on the PAT, which kicker Roy Gerela recovered but failed to convert on a drop kick, keeping the score at 16–7. Later on, Bradshaw was knocked out of the game when he took a knee-hit to the head by linebacker Monte Johnson. A few plays later, Oakland recovered their fourth fumble of the day with 1:31 left in the game. The Raiders then drove to the Pittsburgh 24-yard line, where they faced third down and 2 yards to go with 18 seconds left on the clock. They opted to have George Blanda kick a 41-yard field goal (his longest of the season and last of his NFL career) to pull the deficit to 6 points. Then Hubbard recovered the ensuing onside kick with 9 seconds remaining to give Oakland one last attempt to win the game. Cliff Branch then caught a 37-yard reception, but he was stopped at the Pittsburgh 15-yard line by Steelers cornerback Mel Blount before he could get out of bounds and the clock ran out, sealing Pittsburgh's victory. Aside from his touchdown run, Harris ran for 54 yards on 26 carries, while also catching 5 passes for 58 yards.

Raiders defender George Atkinson knocked Swann into a severe concussion that would have him hospitalized for 2 days. Swann, however would go on to win the Super Bowl MVP award with yardage records. Lambert set an AFC Championship Game record with three fumble recoveries in the game. This was Oakland's 6th AFC championship loss in the last 8 years.

This was the fourth postseason meeting between the Raiders and Steelers. Pittsburgh won two of the prior three meetings.

NFC: Dallas Cowboys 37, Los Angeles Rams 7
Quarterback Roger Staubach threw for 220 yards and 4 touchdown passes while also rushing for 54 yards as the Cowboys upset the favored Rams. The first passing attempt by Los Angeles quarterback James Harris, who was coming off an injury and making his first start since the 13th game of the season, was intercepted by Dallas linebacker D.D. Lewis. This set up Staubach's first touchdown pass, a screen to running back Preston Pearson for 18 yards. A 4-yard touchdown reception by Golden Richards and a diving catch in the end zone by Pearson put the Cowboys up 21–0 by halftime. Dallas scored again on their first drive of the second half on a shovel pass to Pearson for his third touchdown reception of the game. Toni Fritsch later added three field goals. Harris gave way to backup Ron Jaworski, but only John Cappelletti's 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter prevented the Rams from being shut out. Pearson finished the game with 7 receptions for 123 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 20 rushing yards. The Dallas defense allowed only 118 yards, a mere 22 on the ground, and sacked Jaworski 5 times.

This was the second postseason meeting between the Cowboys and Rams, Dallas winning the only previous meeting.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005 film)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a 2005 American action comedy film directed by Doug Liman and written by Simon Kinberg. The film stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a bored upper middle class married couple, who each are surprised to learn that the other is also an assassin, belonging to competing agencies and that they have been assigned to kill each other. Besides being a box office success,  Mr. & Mrs. Smith also established Pitt and Jolie's personal relationship.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith was released in the United States on June 10, 2005 and received mixed reviews from critics. The film grossed $487.3 million worldwide, becoming the seventh highest-grossing film of 2005.

Plot
John Smith, a construction executive, and his wife Jane, a tech support consultant, are at marriage counseling, where they reveal that they have been married for five or six years, but their marriage is on the rocks. They talk about how they first met in Bogotá, Colombia, claiming to be together to avoid being questioned by Colombian authorities. The two fell in love and got married.

In reality, John and Jane are both skilled field operatives working for separate contract-killing firms and are both among the best in their field. They are also adept at concealing their true profession from each other. The Smiths live in a large Colonial Revival house in the New York suburbs, keeping up appearances by reluctantly socializing with their "conventionally" wealthy neighbors. Underneath their cover stories, John and Jane balance their marriage, which is apparently mundane—after a few years, both agree it is becoming dull and suffocating—with their secretive careers.

After they are both assigned to kill DIA prisoner Benjamin "The Tank" Danz in a prison transfer, they run into each other on the job and the hit is botched. Danz survives and John and Jane are assigned to kill each other instead. After attempts on each other's lives escalate, the Smiths' conflict ends in a massive shootout which nearly demolishes their house. During a protracted and evenly-matched fight, they pull guns aiming at each other. John declines to shoot saying that he loves Jane and lays his gun down. Jane discovers that she cannot shoot John either and they spend a passionate night together.

The renewed Smith partnership is quickly threatened by their employers, who join forces to eliminate the couple. Eddie, John's best friend and co-worker, turns down a bounty of $400,000 for each of them. The Smiths find themselves under attack from an army of assassins. Their pockmarked house is blown up and the Smiths steal their neighbor's minivan. They are able to destroy their attackers' pursuing armored sedans, while bickering about their fighting styles and personal secrets they have discovered about each other. They meet with Eddie and decide to save their marriage. The Smiths kidnap Danz from his high-security prison to use as a bargaining chip.

Danz tells them that he is merely bait and an intern hired by each of their employers after they discovered the Smiths were married; his clients hoped the Smiths would kill each other. Discarding each of their contingency plans, the Smiths make a last stand together, fending off an assault inside a home decorating store by heavily armed operatives. In the aftermath, the Smiths meet their marriage counselor again and say that their marriage is thriving.

Production
In July 2000, it was announced Summit Entertainment had purchased screenwriter Simon Kinberg's spec script Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Weed Road Pictures slated to produce. Kinberg had written and sold the screenplay while working as a grad student for Columbia University's film program. Producers had managed to secure Brad Pitt for one of the leads, but the original choice of Nicole Kidman dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with The Stepford Wives leaving the film without a co-lead. This even led to Pitt dropping from the film. The directorial team considered Will Smith and Catherine Zeta-Jones as well as Johnny Depp, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow and Gwen Stefani before they were finally able to sign Jolie. Once Jolie was signed, Pitt was back in and the pair was set.

Casting
Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman were originally cast as the leads when Doug Liman received the script. However, Kidman's shooting schedule conflicted with Liman's at the time and she had to exit the film, and Pitt dropped out as a result. Liman then considered Will Smith and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the leads. Liman also considered the pairing of Johnny Depp and Cate Blanchett for the film. Gwen Stefani also auditioned for Jane Smith. The casting of the two leads was set once Liman was able to sign Angelina Jolie. Once Jolie was signed, Pitt re-committed to the film.

John Leguizamo was offered the role of Eddie, but he turned it down as he was going to get paid on scale; a decision he later regretted.

Kinberg had an idea for a screenplay after listening to a couple of his friends who went to marriage therapy. He thought it sounded "aggressive and mercenary" and felt "it would make an interesting template for a relationship inside of an action film."

Music
Two soundtrack albums were released from the film: a soundtrack album by various artists and a film score composed by John Powell. The albums were released at different times to avoid confusion; the soundtrack was released on June 7, 2005, and the score on June 28, 2005.

Box office
Mr. & Mrs. Smith opened on June 10, 2005 in the United States and Canada in 3,424 theaters. The film ranked at the top in its opening weekend, accumulating $50,342,878. Mr. & Mrs. Smith went on to gross $186,336,279 in North America and had a worldwide total of $478,207,520. It was the highest-grossing film for both superstars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but was later surpassed by World War Z for Pitt and Maleficent for Jolie.

Critical response
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave Mr. & Mrs. Smith an approval rating of 60% based on 212 reviews, with an average score of 6.10/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "Although this action-romance suffers from weak writing and one too many explosions, the chemistry generated by onscreen couple Pitt and Jolie is palpable enough to make this a thoroughly enjoyable summer action flick." At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received a rating average of 55 out of 100, based on 41 critics, which indicated "mixed or average reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.

Simon Braund of Empire gave the film a positive review, describing it as "a full-on action flick, subversive rom-com and weapons-grade star vehicle that's drenched in Tinseltown glitz, from a director who knows how to put the money on the screen while his tongue's firmly in his cheek". Daniel Saney of Digital Spy gave 4/5 stars, saying "Its ideas are often borrowed, and it's hardly deep and meaningful, but it's a fantastically fun film". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave 3/4 stars and praised the chemistry between the lead actors, saying "What makes the movie work is that Pitt and Jolie have fun together on the screen and they're able to find a rhythm that allows them to be understated and amused even during the most alarming developments". In a negative review, Mick LaSalle of San Francisco Chronicle described the film as "awful" and stated that "The tiny smidgen of cleverness on display here is contained entirely in the premise. The follow-through is nonexistent".

Plagiarism accusations
In 2006, New Zealand author Gavin Bishop accused the makers of the movie of plagiarizing his 1997 school book, "The Secret Lives of Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which features a husband and wife living apparently dull suburban lives, but unbeknownst to each other, both work as spies. Bishop stated that he intended to sue, and if a law firm willing to share proceeds, if successful, would approach him.

Inaccurate depiction of Bogotá
The government of Colombia criticized the film in particular for showing the capital Bogotá as a small village in the middle of the jungle with a hot and humid climate. President Alvaro Uribe Vélez and Mayor Luis Eduardo Garzón invited Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and the producers to get to know the city and realize the mistakes they made.

Home media
A single-disc DVD of the film was released on November 29, 2005, and a two-disc unrated version of the film was released on DVD on June 6, 2006. During director Doug Liman's audio commentary which is on the single-disc DVD release, he says that the film was edited for sexual and violent content to get a PG-13 rating. Mr. & Mrs. Smith was released on Blu-ray on December 4, 2007. It includes extra material from the 2005 single-disc DVD release but does not include additional material from the 2006 two-disc unrated version.

Legacy
In 2007, a pilot for a spin-off television series was made for the network ABC. Set six months after the end of the film, it was written by Simon Kinberg and directed by Doug Liman. Kinberg described the proposed television series as "Married... with Children with guns." The roles of John and Jane were played by Martin Henderson and Jordana Brewster. On website The Futon Critic, Brian Ford Sullivan criticized the chemistry between Henderson and Brewster and ended his review stating, "While there's always a few gems that get locked away in the networks' vaults each year, this decidedly isn't one of them". ABC decided not to commission the series.

The film is parodied in Treehouse of Horror XVIII, a 2007 episode of the animated television series The Simpsons.

In June 2010, Jolie said that she and Pitt had inquired about a sequel to the film but were dissatisfied with the story. Jolie remarked, "We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn't anything original. It was just, 'Well, they're going to get married, or they've got kids, or they get separated.' Never great."

TV series reboot
In February 2021, Amazon Studios announced that a television series reboot based on the original film, starring Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, was set to be released on Amazon Prime Video in 2022. Due to creative differences Waller-Bridge exited the project in early September 2021 and in April 2022, it was reported that Maya Erskine had replaced her in the main role.

On February 2, 2024 the TV series was released on Amazon Prime Video to critical acclaim.

Equianharmonic

In mathematics, and in particular the study of Weierstrass elliptic functions, the equianharmonic case occurs when the Weierstrass invariants satisfy g2 = 0 and g3 = 1. This page follows the terminology of Abramowitz and Stegun; see also the lemniscatic case. (These are special examples of complex multiplication.)

In the equianharmonic case, the minimal half period ω2 is real and equal to

 * $$\frac{\Gamma^3(1/3)}{4\pi}$$

where $$\Gamma$$ is the Gamma function. The half period is

 * $$\omega_1=\tfrac{1}{2}(-1+\sqrt3i)\omega_2.$$

Here the period lattice is a real multiple of the Eisenstein integers.

The constants e1, e2 and e3 are given by

e_1=4^{-1/3}e^{(2/3)\pi i},\qquad e_2=4^{-1/3},\qquad e_3=4^{-1/3}e^{-(2/3)\pi i}. $$

The case g2 = 0, g3 = a may be handled by a scaling transformation.

Bishop
Hello! I saw your addition to the Bishop entry; it is very confusing. It is relatively unclear what a bishop in the NAC is or does. Perhaps you could clarify a bit...thanks! KHM03 17:43, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called ThorstenOstriga. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name ThorstenOstriga~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:40, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
