Talk:Ferguson Jenkins

African-Canadian?
How is this guy anything other than Canadian? He was born in Canada...

to the above poster:

According to the wiki-page for Black Canadian, "Some may refer to black Canadians as Afro-Canadian or African-Canadian, although this term is not as prevalent as African American in the United States."

I suspect that the writer of the page started with "African-American" and then changed it. Regardless, I have never heard the term used during my 23 as a Canadian resident. If it is necessary to indicate a person's race, they may be referred to as "black," but only in a situation where his/her race is particularly relevant. I'm not sure it is here. I'll leave it as is for a few weeks, and if no one balks (ha!) I'll take it out, or see if there's a more relevant position for it (for example, he is probably one of a select few black members of the Canadian Walk of Fame). Wencer 20:17, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, they mean black, and yes, nobody uses the term 'African-Canadian'. Is it relevent? I have no idea. WilyD 20:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Article title
Per WP:COMMONNAME, shouldn't this article be titled "Fergie Jenkins" rather than "Ferguson Jenkins"? Do most news articles or other sources refer to him as "Ferguson"? -- JHunterJ 14:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This google fight suggests that Ferguson is used 10 times more often than Fergie. Kingturtle 02:04, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that the simple google fight is enough to make the call here. Actually Googling the names is a little more telling. Most of the sites that refer to "Fergie Jenkins" also refer to his full name for obvious reasons. Also, it's important to look at which sites list him as "Fergie." Both his official site, his foundation's site, the Baseball Hall of Fame site, and even Britannica list him as Fergie first with a note on his full name. I'd be in favor of moving it to Fergie. What do other think?-- Eva  b  d  13:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * His real name, his legal name, his birth name, his high school graduation name, and his name on the back of almost every baseball card is "Ferguson A. Jenkins"--the "A" being for Arthur. His NICKNAME is "Fergie". Are most famous persons in Wikipedia listed by their actual names or their nicknames? Almost every baseball fan refers to Alex Rodriguez as "ARod"--but should he be listed in Wikipedia that way?? I am not trying to be nerdy or intellectual or snobbish--but this is the sort of debate that makes any discussion of "objectivity", "neutrality", (or dare I say "professionalism" even?) or "literariness" or "scholarliness" or even just plain old "consistency" in Wikipedia sort of a joke.... --User:rbfitz0529
 * He was called "Ferguson" more often than not during his playing years. "Fergie" grew some with time. Also, there's already a redirect from "Fergie". Messing with article titles that way is busy work that accomplishes nothing useful. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 12:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree regarding the facts and the bottom line. When he was active I followed him as Ferguson and didn't know Fergie. --P64 (talk) 19:22, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I strongly agree that he was always known as Ferguson. "Fergie" is just a convenient contraction once "Ferguson" has been established, in writing or speech. It is not in anyway a first-choice name or common nickname for the man. MensaJeff (talk) 06:20, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Added Copyedit template
There's some atrocious styling and grammar in this article. -- J.R. Hercules 05:15, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed this as a Start Class because it is contains a fair level of detail and organization, but lacks references in many sections. I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 01:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure Fergie was Canadian, but he played in primarily American leagues and for American cities (Chicago, Philadelphia, Texas and Boston). A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * He IS Canadian. Playing in the states doesn't make someone any less Canadian, btw. Blackjays1 (talk) 01:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Birth year
I have deleted former note 1 to fit the article and infobox, which now give the 1942 birth year following SABR and baseball-reference. The Hall of Fame biography does give birth year 1943, as did the article before 17 Jun 2009. The Fergie Jenkins Foundation website is mainly blocked for me. --P64 (talk) 19:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Drug problems
How is it that this article makes no mention of his drug issues? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.185.58.50 (talk) 01:12, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Legacy Section: "More" home runs should be "Fewer" home runs?
In the legacy section it says only two other pitchers allowed more home runs. I'm thinking it should be fewer home runs.

Only Robin Roberts and Jamie Moyer allowed more home runs over a career than Jenkins. 74.88.29.2 (talk) 03:12, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Miquel Brown

Miquel Brown (born Michael Brown February 8, 1945) is a Canadian actress, disco/soul singer, former dancer and music video director, in the 1970s and 1980s, most popular for the songs "Close to Perfection" and the Hi-NRG songs "So Many Men – So Little Time" and "He's a Saint, He's a Sinner". Originally named Michael, her parents changed the spelling (but retained the pronunciation) so as not to confuse her with a male producer and children's author of the time (Michael Brown).

Brown is the mother of singer Sinitta and stepsister of Amii Stewart.

Early life
Brown was born in Montreal, Quebec and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She gave birth to twins Sinitta and Greta at the age of 14,  although Sinitta has publicly given her birth year as 1963, not 1959.

Brown was prompted to leave university after she auditioned for the U.S. touring company of the musical Hair and landed the part of Sheila. At the end of the Hair tour, she visited Australia.

In 1973, Brown was cast as the lead in Decameron '73 at the Roadhouse in London. She was then interviewed on the Michael Parkinson Show. In 1975 she appeared in the film Rollerball with James Caan, as well as in the role of Miriam in the television film Regan in 1974 for the Armchair Cinema ITV strand, which was effectively the pilot for The Sweeney TV series. She also held a two-year association with the singing and dancing group 'Second Generation'.

Through the next two years, Brown performed various parts in Bubbling Brown Sugar and television appearances in Seaside Special (on Saturday, 25 June 1977), Supersonic (on Saturday, 5 March 1977 – show 40), The Ronnie Corbett Show, Jack Parnell's Show, Vince Hill's Musical Time Machine and Bruce Forsyth's Bring on the Girls.

Music career
In 1976, Brown played Sister Anna in the musical Mardi Gras (which opened on 18 March at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London). It was through this that she was discovered and signed for her first record release, "First Time Around". This led her to musician Alan Hawkshaw (of Emile Ford and the Checkmates, The Shadows and Love De-Luxe), who signed her for an album deal. The album Symphony of Love (1978) included the title track, "Dancin' with the Lights Down Low", "This is Something New to Me", "The Day They Got Disco in Brazil", "Do It" and "Something Made of Love".

Also in 1978, Brown appeared in the American film Superman, as the non-speaking eighth reporter in a scene following the first Superman spotting.

In need of a new producer in the early 1980s, Brown crossed the paths of Ian Levine and Fiachra Trench in 1983. Together with Record Shack Records, they created the album Manpower, a Hi-NRG release. The first single released from the album, "So Many Men – So Little Time" reached No. 88 on the UK Singles Chart on 11 June 1983. and peaked at number No. 2 on the club chart.

In the two years following Manpower, Brown appeared in stage productions of Only in America, the Leiber and Stoller Musical; The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and One Mo' Time, as well as in numerous international clubs, but did not release any more albums until 1985. Close to Perfection (also produced by Levine and Trench) could not compete with her first success. The album featured two US dance radio and dance chart hits, with "Black Leather" and "Close to Perfection ", the latter of which gave her her highest UK Singles Chart placing (#63) for seven weeks.

In 1986, Brown filled in for The Three Degrees singer Helen Scott while Scott was pregnant. Brown helped the Degrees as they had a single called "This Is the House" to promote around Europe.

Later songs include "On the Radio", "Footprints in the Sand" and "This Time It's Real", all with Nightmare Records.

In 1989, Brown was seen as Jill in the second episode of the fourth series, "Accidents Happen", of the British show Casualty.

The 1990s
In 1990, Brown released the songs "I Was Strong (My Moment)" and "Which Way Is Up" on Hansa. In 1995, she starred as the Housekeeper in Solomon and Sheba, with Halle Berry. Also in 1995, she played Sgt. Patton in French Kiss, with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. She can be heard on the London cast recordings of Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens (1993) and Fame (1995) (as Miss Sherman, the English teacher).

2000 to present
Brown played the Negro Woman in the 2001 play A Streetcar Named Desire at the Royal National Theatre (Lyttelton), in London, directed by Trevor Nunn and starring Glenn Close as Blanche DuBois.

She also appeared in the 2001 film Wit, where she has a brief exchange with Emma Thompson (who plays Vivian Bearing), as the second technician.

In 2004, Brown appeared as Idella in the London production of Purlie at the Bridewell Theatre in London (a role originally played by Helen Martin, from the American sitcom 227). Miquel Brown: The Lady, Her Loves and Her Lord was presented at the Bullion Room Theatre in London in 2005.

In 2005, Brown appeared as Chloe the old maid in An American Haunting with Sissy Spacek. The following year, 2006, she co-starred alongside Robert Ashe in the drama film 9/11: The Twin Towers.

In 2006, Brown appeared in the movie London Successor as Lolo. In 2007, she starred in the original London production of Menopause The Musical. In March 2008, Brown was seen when her daughter Sinitta appeared on UK's Celebrity Wife Swap, swapping partners with ex-Coronation Street actor Bruce Jones. In 2008, she appeared in the film How To Lose Friends & Alienate People as Harding's assistant, alongside Jeff Bridges.

She starred in the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was released in 2016, as Executioner 2.

Mezentsev (crater)

Mezentsev is a lunar impact crater that is located in the high northern latitudes on the Moon's far side. It lies just to the west of the smaller Niepce. To the southwest is the larger Stebbins, to the west-southwest is Hippocrates and to the northwest is Heymans.

This is a worn and eroded crater with a low outer rim and a relatively level interior. The circular nature of the rim can still be seen, but a number of impacts lie across the rim and the edge is generally softened and rounded. A smaller, unnamed crater is attached to the southwestern rim, with the satellite crater Mezentsev S laid across the western rim of this feature. The interior floor is roughly level but with some small craterlets marking the surface. The most prominent of these is a fresh, cup-shaped crater in the western half of the interior.

On some maps this crater has been labelled 'Mesentsev'.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Mezentsev.

I Palindrome I

"I Palindrome I" is a song by American alternative rock duo They Might Be Giants. It was the second single from Apollo 18, released in 1992 by Elektra Records.

They Might Be Giants performed the song on Late Night with David Letterman in 1992. Michael McKean recites the lyrics of the song in the documentary Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns.

Composition
The title of "I Palindrome I" came from a demo written by John Flansburgh for They Might Be Giants's telephone service, Dial-A-Song. John Linnell adapted the lyric after attending a reading by the American poet Hal Sirowitz. The song's opening line, "Someday mother will die and I'll get the money", is a reference to Sirowitz's portrayal of mother-child relationships.

The song contains several palindromes and references to the concept of recursion. For example, the lyrics contain the straightforward palindromes "Egad, a base tone denotes a bad age" and "Man o nam". The middle 8 consists of what critic Stewart Mason calls a "sentence palindrome", in which the words (rather than the letters) are the units in a sequence which reads the same backwards and forwards: Son I am able,' she said, 'Though you scare me.' 'Watch,' said I. 'Beloved,' I said, 'Watch me scare you though.' Said she, 'Able am I, son. The lyrics also reference "a snake head eating the head on the opposite side" (an ouroboros), which reviewer Ira Robbins interprets as "a grim life mask [carved] from the conceptual clay of reversible phrases".

Reception
"I Palindrome I" received generally positive attention from critics. Writing for Allmusic, Stewart Mason concluded that the song was musically appealing enough to overcome its shallow lyrics, which he felt employed wordplay for its own sake rather than "in the service of a particular idea or emotion". In a review of Apollo 18, Karen Schlosberg said that the lyrics of "I Palindrome I" sound like "Edgar Allan Poe and David Lynch meeting the Monkees", creating an "unlikely sing-along hook". In a 2016 Gothamist retrospective revisiting They Might Be Giants's studio albums, Ken Bays noted "I Palindrome I" as a highlight for Linnell's strong vocal performance.

Track listing

 * 1) "I Palindrome I" – 2:22

Constitución railway station (Estación Constitución) is a large railway station in Constitución, a barrio in central Buenos Aires, Argentina. The full official name of the station is Estación Plaza Constitution (in English: Constitution Square Station) reflecting the fact that the station is located opposite Constitution Square, two kilometers to the south of the Obelisco landmark. The ground floor of the station has fourteen tracks and the floor below has two tracks for the Buenos Aires Underground.

In 2021, the station received the heritage designation of National Historic Monument.

History
On 7 March 1864, in a ceremony attended by the president Bartolomé Mitre, construction began at Mercado Constitución, on the site of the present day terminus, as the British-owned Buenos Aires Great Southern railway company began building its first broad gauge line of 114 km as far as Chascomús. The first section of the line to Jeppener, Buenos Aires, was opened on 14 August 1865; during that same month a small terminal station at Mercado Constitución was opened to the public and renamed Plaza Constitución. Later that year in December the line to Chascomús was opened.

This first building, known as "Constitución I", was a simple construction whose façade was on the current Brazil Street, facing the Mercado Constitución. Public access entered from one side. This primitive terminal had only two platforms: one for arrivals and one for departure of trains.

Between 1885 and 1887 the Plaza Constitución terminus was rebuilt and enlarged and between 1906 and 1907 further building work was carried out and extra platforms were added to cope with the increasing suburban traffic. In 1912 yet more platforms were added.

On 19 September 1925 a foundation stone for the present day terminus was laid by the Prince of Wales, later Duke of Windsor, during his official visit to Argentina. The original station was then rebuilt with fourteen platforms roofed over, modern hydraulic buffer stops and an imposing concourse which formed a massive main hall, one of the largest in the world, along the entire length of the site. Of the fourteen platforms, only two or three were normally used for mainline trains, leaving the rest for suburban services. To the east of the main station a large goods and parcels section with warehouses, offices and several sidings was built. The street frontage of the original station was left untouched due to financial constraints imposed towards the end of the rebuilding.

The station was the site of a riot on May 16, 2007, during the evening rush hour, which provoked debate and discussion in Argentina about railway privatisation. A crowded train broke down within walking distance of the station blocking the railway and the irate passengers from trains trapped at the station, after waiting for the train to be fixed and to move, walked to the platform, thus triggering the chaos. Around 25 people were injured, and a total of 16 were arrested and later released.

Operation
All southbound trains on the Roca Line have their terminus at Constitución and the station is served by Trenes Argentinos, the national train operator which provides commuter services through the Roca Line to the nearby city of La Plata and to the surrounding suburbs of Buenos Aires.

Trenes Argentinos also operates long-distance services throughout much of Buenos Aires Province on the General Roca Railway, formerly operated by defunct company Ferrobaires. Major destinations include Mar del Plata, Miramar, and Bahía Blanca, with connecting services further south to Carmen de Patagones.

Constitución is accessible by the Line C of the Buenos Aires Underground and by numerous public bus services (including the colectivo 60 service), and by long-distance bus services. From 1944 to 1966, it was also served by Line E with a station there, however this was closed when the line was re-routed further towards the centre of the city. In the future, the station will also serve as the terminus for Line F which began construction in 2015.

The surrounding neighbourhood - part of Neighbourhood of Constitución - is characterised by low-rent residences for people from the provinces (or from neighbouring Paraguay and Bolivia) who come to work in the city.

Erik Ian Asphaug

Erik Ian Asphaug (born October 19, 1961 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian American planetary science professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at University of Arizona. Asphaug received his bachelor's degree in mathematics and English from Rice University and his PhD in planetary science from the University of Arizona.

Until 2012, Asphaug served as a professor at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

The 1998 recipient of the Harold C. Urey Prize from the American Astronomical Society, Asphaug is at the forefront of scientists studying the "rubble pile" composition of most asteroids and the implications of such composition on efforts to divert asteroids from striking the Earth. Asphaug has also worked with Urey Prize winner Robin M. Canup to develop new theories on how the Moon was formed. Recently he has studied the genesis of diverse small planets and asteroids in the aftermath of collisions between similar-sized planetoids during the middle to late stages of terrestrial planet formation.

Asphaug was involved in NASA's Galileo and LCROSS missions. He is currently a principal advocate of a mission strategy to obtain a medical-like scan of the detailed interior structure of a Jupiter-family comet, which would reveal its origin, evolution and structure using techniques of 3D radar imaging and tomography.

Asteroid 7939 Asphaug was named in his honor.

Asphaug is an Eagle Scout.

Terrell Suggs

Terrell Raymonn Suggs (born October 11, 1982), nicknamed "T-Sizzle", is an American former football linebacker who played in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Arizona State Sun Devils, and was recognized as a unanimous All-American. He was selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the 10th overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft, and is the franchise's all-time leader in sacks. He also played for the Arizona Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Suggs is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, a two time All-Pro, and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2011. Suggs has won two Super Bowls in his career, Super Bowl XLVII in 2012 with the Ravens and Super Bowl LIV in 2019 with the Chiefs, both over the San Francisco 49ers. Suggs is 8th on the NFL's all-time sacks list (tracked since 1982) and 1st all-time in tackles for a loss (tracked since 1999).

Early life
Suggs was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. While growing up in Saint Paul, he played youth football, as a center, with future major league MVP baseball player Joe Mauer as quarterback. Suggs moved to Arizona after the eighth grade. As a teenager, he attended multiple schools, the first being Chandler High School. He later transferred to Hamilton High School where he set the Arizona Class 5A record for rushing yards in a game with 367 against Yuma Kofa as a junior in 1999.

As a senior, Suggs was named a Parade high school All-American in 2000, Gatorade Arizona Player of the Year, the No. 1 jumbo athlete in the nation by SuperPrep Magazine, Arizona Player of the Year by USA Today as well as an All-American by USA Today and the 60th-best player in the nation by Sporting News.

In addition to football, Suggs played AAU basketball.

College career
Suggs decided to attend Arizona State University, where he played defensive end for coach Bruce Snyder and coach Dirk Koetter's Arizona State Sun Devils football teams from 2000 to 2002. He finished his career with 163 tackles, including a school, career-record 65.5 tackles for losses, and 44 quarterback sacks, 14 forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, two interceptions, and nine passes deflected. He set an NCAA single-season record with 24 sacks in 2002. Following his 2002 junior season, he was a first-team All-Pac-10 selection and the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year. He won the Bronko Nagurski Award, the Ted Hendricks Award, and the Vince Lombardi Award. He was recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American.

2003
Suggs was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round with the 10th overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft, becoming one of the youngest defensive players ever drafted at only 20 years old.

Suggs enjoyed immediate success as a rookie in 2003 as he tied an NFL record by posting a sack in each of his first four games. He finished the season with 27 tackles (19 solo), 12 sacks (a Ravens franchise rookie record), six forced fumbles, two pass deflections, and one interception, earning him Defensive Rookie of the Year honors while only starting one game that year.

2004
In 2004, Suggs was elected to his first Pro Bowl as he recorded 10.5 sacks and 60 tackles (45 solo).

2005
In 2005, the Ravens' new defensive co-ordinator Rex Ryan, son of famous defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, moved Suggs from outside linebacker to defensive end in many of the defensive schemes. In Week 13, Suggs earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his game against the Houston Texans. Despite registering a then-career-low eight sacks, Suggs also set new career-highs in tackles with 69 (46 solo) and interceptions with two.

2006
In 2006, Suggs was part of the NFL's best overall defense, the unit allowing a league-low 12.6 points per game. He recorded 64 tackles (46 solo), 9.5 sacks, and set a new career-high in pass deflections with eight. After the season, he was voted to the Pro Bowl for the second time. He was a major contributor as the Ravens went 13–3. For the season, Suggs started nine games at right defensive end in the Ravens base 4–3 and seven games at outside linebacker when the Ravens started game in a base 3–4 defense. Suggs earned attention for his flashy playing style, "Suggs evolved into one of the league's best pass-rushers whether he is blitzing as a linebacker or rushing from defensive end with one hand on the ground."

2007
The following season in 2007, Suggs made 80 tackles (52 solo) and five sacks, as he and the Ravens plummeted to 5–11. Like the season before, Suggs was a hybrid defensive end/linebacker, playing 50 percent of the defensive snaps at defensive end in the Ravens base 4–3 defense.

2008
On February 19, 2008, the Ravens placed the franchise tag on Suggs. He initially filed a grievance because the team had designated him as a LB with the franchise tag rather than a DE, which resulted in a monetary difference of about $800,000. Despite being unhappy with the franchise tag, Suggs reported to off-season mini-camps to practice with the team. On May 13, 2008, he reached an agreement with the team to split the difference in the franchise tag amounts of a LB and a DE and drop his grievance.

In Week 7 of the 2008 NFL season, Suggs intercepted a pass from Chad Pennington of the Miami Dolphins and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown, the first pick six of his professional career. He earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his game against Miami. Two weeks later, he intercepted Derek Anderson of the Cleveland Browns for a game-sealing touchdown. At season's end, he was named to his third Pro Bowl after producing 68 tackles (53 solo), two forced fumbles and eight sacks to go along with the two interceptions, a new career-high nine pass break-ups and two touchdowns. During the 2008–09 NFL playoffs, Suggs recorded sacks in all three of the Ravens' post-season games, including two in the AFC Championship against Ben Roethlisberger and the division-winning Pittsburgh Steelers.

On February 18, 2009, he was once again given the Ravens' franchise tag. On July 15, 2009, the Ravens signed him to a 6-year, $62.5 million contract. His bonus money ($33.1 million) made him the highest paid linebacker in NFL history.

2009
The 2009 season was not as productive for Suggs as he recorded a career-low in sacks with 4.5. Playing above his normal playing weight, he also missed the first three games of his career due to injury after quarterback Brady Quinn dove at his legs after cornerback Chris Carr intercepted a pass. In the Wild Card Round against the New England Patriots, Suggs sacked and forced a Tom Brady fumble before recovering the ball on the Patriots' opening drive, helping the Ravens ultimately win 33–14.

2010
In 2010, Suggs compiled 68 tackles (53 solo), 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two pass deflections. In the playoff win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card Round, he made four tackles (all solo) and two sacks. Against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Round, he recorded six tackles (five solo), a career-high three sacks, and a forced fumble that was recovered and returned for a touchdown by fellow defensive end Cory Redding, but the Ravens would go on to lose 24–31 after squandering a 21–7 halftime lead. He earned a fourth Pro Bowl nomination. He was ranked 40th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2011.

2011: Defensive Player of the Year
2011 saw Suggs have the best season of his career, which started with a Defensive Player of the Week-winning performance against the Steelers. In a 35–7 blowout, Suggs recorded three sacks and two forced fumbles, contributing heavily to the defense's seven turnovers.

Suggs had two more games that season with three sacks, the second on Thanksgiving in a 16–6 win over the NFC's number-two-seeded San Francisco 49ers and the third in a 24–10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for both performances. He finished the season with career highs in sacks (14) and forced fumbles (7), tied his career high for interceptions (2), and also had 50 total tackles and six passes defended. He was named to his fifth Pro Bowl and first All-Pro first team.

The Ravens entered the playoffs with a 12–4 record and the number-two seed in the AFC. They had their season ended by the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship after a dropped touchdown by Lee Evans and a notorious missed field goal by Billy Cundiff. On February 4, 2012, Suggs was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year.

2012: Super Bowl XLVII run
During the 2012 offseason, Suggs tore his Achilles tendon allegedly while playing basketball; though Suggs and his agent have claimed that he was hurt while doing conditioning workouts. Owner Steve Bisciotti stated that it was no concern where he hurt it and the Ravens will not try to avoid paying him his contract. Some medical experts believed that Suggs' injury should have forced him to miss the 2012 season, however Suggs claimed he would return by November 2012. On October 20, 2012, Suggs was removed from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, allowing him to play the next day against the Houston Texans. Suggs has been the first player in NFL history to recover so quickly from such a serious injury. Suggs' return surprised many, as he finished the game with four tackles (three solo), one pass defended, and one sack, less than five and a half months after having Achilles tendon surgery. He finished the 2012 season with 22 total tackles, two sacks, and four passes defensed in eight games.

Suggs was key in the Ravens win over the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round of the playoffs with two sacks on Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, after which, the Ravens advanced to New England in a rematch of the previous year's AFC Championship Game where they defeated the New England Patriots by a score of 28–13. The win gave Suggs his first ever AFC Championship and his first appearance in the Super Bowl, being Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers. In that game, the Ravens won 34–31, earning Suggs his first Super Bowl ring. He was ranked 56th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2013.

2013
In the 2013 season, Suggs started all 16 games with 80 tackles, a fumble recovery, and ten sacks. Suggs was elected to participate in the Pro Bowl for his sixth such nomination. He was ranked 26th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2014.

2014
In Weeks 6–8, Suggs had one sack in each game. In Week 7, the sack he recorded on Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was for a safety, and he recovered a fumble.

From Weeks 10–17, Suggs recorded at least one sack in each game, with the one exception being the Week 16 loss to the Houston Texans. In Week 10, Suggs had 1.5 sacks on Titans rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger. Two weeks later, in a Monday Night Football matchup against the New Orleans Saints, Suggs accounted for a sack against Saints quarterback Drew Brees. With the hit, Suggs became the 31st player in NFL history to register over 100 sacks, and the first member of the Baltimore Ravens to achieve such a milestone.

In the Ravens' season finale, Suggs recorded a sack, a defended pass and a fumble recovery, all on Browns first-time-starting quarterback Connor Shaw. The Ravens clinched a Wild Card spot in the playoffs that day. Suggs finished the year with 12 sacks, a pass defended, a fumble recovery, and a safety. He and Elvis Dumervil led the league in sacks by a pair with 29.

In the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, Suggs intercepted a pass from Ben Roethlisberger in the fourth quarter. The ball bounced off the hands of running back Ben Tate, the intended receiver on the play, and landed between a diving Suggs's legs. The Ravens won this game 30–17 and moved onto the Divisional Round against the New England Patriots, where they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champions. He was ranked 84th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2015.

2015
In the regular season opener against the Denver Broncos on September 13, 2015, Suggs suffered an achilles injury and left the game. Hours later, an MRI revealed that his achilles was torn, which prematurely ended his 2015 season.

2016
In the 2016 season, Suggs appeared in 15 games. He recorded 8.0 sacks, 28 tackles, seven assisted tackles, four passes defended, and three forced fumbles. He led the team in sacks, forced fumbles, tackles-for-loss, and quarterback hits.

2017
In the 2017 season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, Suggs recorded two sacks and forced a fumble off of quarterback Andy Dalton in the third quarter of the 20–0 victory. The fumble, which was recovered by teammate Michael Pierce, occurred in the Ravens' red zone and helped preserve the eventual shutout victory. In Week 2, against the Cleveland Browns, he forced a fumble off DeShone Kizer, which helped set up the Ravens' offense on an eventual touchdown scoring drive in the 24–10 victory. In Weeks 11 and 12, he had two sacks in each game, helping the Ravens win back-to-back times against the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans. On December 19, 2017, Suggs was named to his seventh Pro Bowl.

The Ravens finished the season with a 9–7 record, but missed the playoffs due to blowing the lead in the last fifty seconds of the fourth quarter in their season finale against the Bengals.

2018
In 2018, Suggs finished tied for second on the team with seven sacks, along with 34 combined tackles, six passes defended, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown in Week 12 against the Oakland Raiders.

Arizona Cardinals
On March 13, 2019, Suggs signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals. Suggs made his debut with the Cardinals in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. In the game, Suggs sacked Matthew Stafford twice in the 27–27 tie. Week 2 of the 2019 season saw Suggs go to Baltimore for the first time in an opposing team's jersey. As Suggs ran onto the field he received a standing ovation from Ravens fans. He had one solo tackle during the Cardinals' 23–17 loss. Also, in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks, Suggs sacked Russell Wilson 1.5 times in the 27–10 loss.

On December 13, 2019, Suggs was released by the Cardinals. He had registered 5.5 sacks and 4 forced fumbles during his time with the team. However, his playing time was reduced during his last two games with Arizona, where he did not register a single tackle. Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said the team wanted to go with the younger players, and said the decision to release Suggs was a mutual agreement.

Kansas City Chiefs
After his release from the Cardinals, Suggs was eligible to be claimed on waivers. Initial reports stated that Suggs only wanted to be claimed by the Ravens and would not report to any other team. However, on December 16, 2019, Suggs was claimed by the Kansas City Chiefs. Suggs was enticed to sign with the team after speaking with head coach Andy Reid, and was excited at the prospect of playing with reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes.

Suggs moved to the defensive end position in the Chiefs' 4–3 defense. He won the second Super Bowl of his career in Super Bowl LIV when the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 31–20 in a fourth-quarter comeback. He had two total tackles and a quarterback hit in the Super Bowl.

Ravens franchise records

 * Most career sacks (132.5)
 * Most career forced fumbles (35)

Personal life
Suggs guest starred as himself in 8 episodes of the series Ballers.

Suggs is Jewish through his paternal grandfather. He has had a Jewish star tattooed on his right arm since 2009, which he says he got "to remind me of who I am," and wears a Star of David necklace. Suggs wore a Star of David on his cleats during a game in October 2019 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the deadly Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.

Despite Suggs's rocky relationship with his former girlfriend, Candace Williams, the two married on December 14, 2012, and the protective order against Suggs was removed. The couple have two children together. Williams filed for divorce in 2015.

Suggs is the second cousin of Larry Suggs, the father of NBA player Jalen Suggs.

In December 2003, Suggs was charged with felony aggravated assault stemming from a March 2003 incident in Arizona, in which it was alleged that a verbal altercation after a basketball tournament led to Suggs assaulting a man with a piece of reinforcement rod. Apparently the parties had a disagreement during the tournament, and it was claimed that Suggs swung at the victim and broke his nose and cheekbone. In June 2005, however, Suggs was acquitted of the charges, with a juror commenting that guilt beyond a reasonable doubt was not established.

A series of allegations were made by his girlfriend, Candace Williams; in 2009 she alleged he threw a soap dispenser at her head, struck her in the chest with his hand and held a bottle of bleach over her and their 1-year-old son. No criminal charges were filed against Suggs, however, and Williams' subsequent lawsuit was dismissed. In September 2012, he was accused of punching and dragging his girlfriend Candace Williams beside his car while his two children were inside. A temporary protective order was placed against Suggs, who was required to surrender his seven firearms, which included an AK-47, and a judge dismissed the order on December 12. After marrying Williams in 2012, the protective order against Suggs was removed.

On April 10, 2024, Suggs was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona on charges of threatening and intimidating, as well as disorderly conduct with a weapon. The arrest stemmed from a March 10 incident in which Suggs made contact with another vehicle in a Starbucks drive–thru, and ensuing arguments led to Suggs threatening to kill the other vehicle's driver and brandishing a handgun in his left hand.

The Symphonic Orchestra played as an honor orchestra in the 2005 Virginia Music Educator's Association. There is also a Concert Orchestra, an orchestra below the level of the Symphonic Orchestra. A third orchestra is the Chamber Orchestra, a level above the Symphonic Orchestra, which was established in the 2008 school year for the elite players.

They receive consistent ratings of "Superior," as does the Advanced Guitar Ensemble and Guitar Ensemble. The Guitar Program is currently the largest music department in terms of population, with their 5 different levels of difficulty. Many freshman begin with Guitar 1 to learn the basics of the guitar, with many going on to Guitar 2, and many still go on to other ensembles. Members of the guitar program frequently show off their talents in West Springfield's Battle of the Bands, which every year proves to be phenomenal.

The choral program at WSHS features five classes, four of which require auditions. Concert Choir is an unauditioned mixed choir. The four audition choirs are Bel Canto, Madrigals, Personality, and Musical Theatre. Bel Canto is an all-women's choir that sometimes sings a cappella. Madrigals is a mixed a cappella choir, and the most musically proficient choir. Personality, a mixed show choir, briefly became an all-female show choir from 2010 to 2013 due to lack of male interest, but has become a mixed show choir once again for the 2013–2014 school year. Musical Theatre, offered for the first time in the 2009–2010 school year, is a mixed ensemble which performs songs from musicals, usually medleys, in addition to performing and critiquing solo songs during class. The all-women's show choir, Pizazz, was disbanded at the end of 2007, despite its numerous awards, due to lack of interest.

At competitions, the Choral Department has received many awards and recognitions, as well as many "Superior" ratings over the past several years. Personality's dances are often choreographed by student directors with dance experience and are revised by the choir director. Huss founded the musical theatre class because of her experience in the area and choreographs all dances.

Theatre
The West Springfield Theatre Department has taken part in the Cappies Critics program since it began in 2002. The department is known for its high quality shows that have garnered many positive reviews. In 2013, West Springfield's production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" received a Cappie for Best Lead Actress in a Play; and in the same year, won the VHSL state one-act competition for its show "The Other Room." In 2010, "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" won a Cappie for Best Make-up. In 2022 West Springfield competed in the VHSL Theatre competition with "A Ballad of Dice & Disaster" and it would go on to place 3rd at the District Level, 1st at the Regional Level, and 3rd at the State Level for Class 6 Competition.

Talk:EDL

English Defence League
They're not right-wing. Only some arms of the media have used this description, and from my brief research, not the majority. Right-wing applies in politics only. As they aren't political, and are only now talking about the possibility of a political future, they can't yet be right wing. If they become political, then they still won't be right wing, though I am sure ultra-left media will brand them as such. They oppose fascism, which is far-right.

They also oppose orthodox Islam and Islamification of Britain. This is undisputable and is the most relevant thing about the group. It should therefore be the description.

How anyone can think that 'far-right' is more appropriate is a mystery, so I suspect that in fact no-one does, but the far-right branding is part of the agenda of a group of users. There is no reason to change the description from it's current neutral state "a group of English activists who oppose Islamification".

If only the media were as reilable and neutral people might actually make up their own minds once in a while. I know this is Wikipedia, and it's mostly run by far-left teenagers and students, so I don't have high hopes for neutrality, but it's probably worth trying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TokenPassport (talk • contribs) 13:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * All RS have described this group as right wing, and that is the policy consensus on the EDL page - where you have been editwarring. Neutrality does not mean ignoring all RS, it means following the RS. Verbal chat  13:59, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

How can a single issue protest group be either right or left wing? Its like saying UAF is a left wing group when members of right wing political parties, (for example David Cameron) support the group. It could at least be changed to "a British protest group considered to be far right" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.42.54 (talk) 11:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC) Umm. ..
 * In what way is "English Defence League, a British far-right single issue political organisation" more accurate or informative than "A British group that protests against Islam"  "against Islam" is a lot more precise and value-neutral than "far-right", Re: single issue political organisation, umm... what is their issue? I don't think they are really that involved in the political process either.   As for organisation... their protests are basically just meetups for hooligans, the word "group" is more neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User: (talk • contribs)

I really neither know nor care where EDL sits on the political spectrum. However I am certain that "far-right" is used as a pejorative, virtually a synonym with Nazi, just as other terms have in the past been used to equate ideological out-groups with contemporary demonized figures (or indeed jut plain demons). I suspect the disambiguation page would loose nothing by having the left-right characterisation removed and leaving that debate to the target page. Rich Farmbrough, 19:23, 12 November 2011 (UTC).

 * I think we cannot —and should not— speculate about whether the left-right characterisation is used as a pejorative here. I.m.o. such depends solely on the reader. The lead of the target page however solidly depends (with five hard, unchallenged sources) on this characterisation, so I think that this dab would indeed loose a slight something if we remove it. Just my two cents. - DVdm (talk) 12:26, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * DABs and DAB talk pages are not for content disputes, that is not welcome or useful here - only in the article/talk. Here we only disambiguate as briefly as possible, and with no regard to content disputes as we mirror the wording. We only need to use as few words possible to differentiate from the English Disco Lovers, so some sort of qualification is required. Saying that, we shouldn't dilute the location on the spectrum or censor. The wording as is is fine in my experience. Widefox ; talk 19:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Sid's Snake

Sid's Snake (also titled Sid and his Snake) was a comic strip in the British comic Whizzer and Chips. It first appeared in issue 1, dated 18 October 1969, and was originally drawn by Mike Lacey; Jimmy Hansen later took over.

The strip's simple premise featured Sid and his pet snake Slippy. Slippy had the ability to morph into various useful shapes. Sid was also the leader of the "Whizz-Kids" (characters who featured in the Whizzer section of the comic, as opposed to the "Chip-ites") and, bar the first issue (in which he appeared on the front cover of Chips, usually Shiner's job) he appeared on the front cover of the comic until the mid-1980s.

The strip survived the merger with Buster in 1990. Though the strip was no longer the leader of the Whizz-Kids, it still appeared in Buster until the comic's last issue at the beginning of 2000. As with all other strips that were still being published, it had by that time become a reprint.

In Germany, the strip was called Twinky & Twist and occupied the last page of Felix magazine in the second half of the 1970s.

This article should be substantially changed, because it is obsolete. From the point of view of invariant Hamiltonian formalism, the Peierls bracket is just a particular case of the regular Poisson bracket.
