Talk:ADX Florence

Introduction misinformation
How do "facilities made of poured concrete [to] deter self-harm"? Padded cells prevent self-harm. 2601:18C:CD7F:6064:F40A:37C:D11:7C5C (talk) 11:52, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Spies
Many ask why there are non-violent spies/traitors at ADF Florence since almost all others are violent criminals. Here is a good article that describes how Jim Nicholson continued to send intelligence to the Russians by having his kid visit him at the federal prison in Sheridan and take secrets to the Russian embassy in Mexico. I'd recommend that a couple of sentences be added to explain that continued espionage is the concern that drives DoJ to send spies to ADF Florence.

In the section about Robert Hanssen this page asserts that US spies were executed because of his actions, and links to two primary source articles about his sentencing that do not mention this detail. Now this detail is backed up by other sources and is extensively sourced in the main article about Robert Hanssen. I'm not sure why this page is sourced so poorly, especially about a detail that is mentioned in a myriad of sources both primary and secondary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1000:B154:46DB:B8C9:E55A:723C:1B4F (talk) 11:53, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Media tours?
It says that on Sept. 14th, media was allowed in for the first time. I think this is in reference to the 60 Minutes airing, which did not however get inside of the prison, it only showed a couple videos of the inside. The subtopic, "Reporter's first-ever tour", contradicts the sub-topic "Media", in that one states that media has never been inside, while the other suggests it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.30.95.62 (talk) 14:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Human rights
Anybody else not really bothered about human rights for murders, rapists, etc. ? --Willrobbo 08:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I'm afraid you're pretty alone in your inhumanity. (Narkstraws 08:38, 13 April 2006 (UTC))
 * The prisoners could, of course, not attempt to kill other inmates or guards and thus not require being put into a prison like this one. But, I suppose in this day and age, people are no longer required to take responsibility for their actions.

The USA makes the prisons of the Spanish Inquisition look like holiday camps...Truly the world masters of scientific inhumanity...Isn't life in solitary equivalant to torture? But maybe the USA will indeed bring back thumbscrews and the rack, in time......Colin4C 19:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Most Americans consider ADX Florence to be relatively humane. This is the country is where three-strikes laws have put away people for 50 years for stealing videotapes, where the Controlled Substances Act mandates a minimum sentence of 55 years for selling marijuana, and where capital punishment is so popular that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California, Rose Bird, lost her job for daring to oppose it (I personally support it, by the way, but I agree with opponents that there should be stricter due process requirements).  The really amazing thing is that compared to the majority of countries in the world, we are still a leader in human rights (we were the first to provide public defenders and to routinely remind criminal suspects of their right to remain silent).--Coolcaesar 19:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but consider, which of these do you think is most humane: 1, You are incarcerated in some overcrowded, overheated Mexican hell-hole, with terrible maggoty food, overun with vermin and are flogged by sadistic guards on a routine basis. 2, You are put in solitary in an an air-conditioned antiseptic concrete box for the rest of your life with no hope of parole.

Personally I think scenario number 1 is more humane and less sadistic than scenario number 2. So maybe the USA can spare the rest of the world lectures on human rights.... Colin4C 19:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Uh, wait, so you think institutionalized beatings are more humane? Ford MF 18:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

It's interesting to see that the "criticism"-chapter in the english version of the article about the ADX Florence only mentions a lack of security in that prison. The German version for example does not mention this kind of criticism, but it does mention that the conditions for the prisoners are to be criticised (isolation, cells without windows...). Klaus

 * It is easy to criticize something when you don't see the purpose of it. You have to take into account that the people sent here, they have no remorse, they have no feelings.  What good is it when a prison inmate murders three of his fellow inmates and gets a life sentence, which he is already serving?

 * How do you punish a man who through his Aryan Brotherhood affiliation orders a hit-job on an inmates civilian father and succeeds? Another life sentence?  The prison is their home, it's where they thrive.  Organizing into gangs and gaining power is what they now live for.  How do you punish them?  The only solutions are exile and death.  The federal government implements both through solitary confinement and lethal injection.

 * Something must be done by the government to protect the innocent and even the convicted from people who kill without blinking an eye. That is the idea of the supermax. With all the world's land taken up, you cannot send a person into exile and deportation has been shown to increase gang numbers (see: MS-13).  The people in this prison are essentially in exile.  They have betrayed the hospitality of the nation several times and killed or planned to kill innocent and convicted people.  The nation responds by giving them the bare minimum to survive, essentially removing all benefits of civilization.  The idea is that the convicted break the social contract and become inelligible to recieve the benefits of a society.

 * I am not familiar at all with the prison systems of other countries or how they handle prison gang violence, but I would think that they have no better solution to this problem of remorseless killers. When you give them social contact, they band together and murder people inside and outside the prison system with their contacts.  So how does a society fight them?  The obvious solution: prohibit human contact.  Sabar Cont 04:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

 * The section giving the description of the genesis of the supermax concept is correct: the murder of two separate prison guards on the same day within the control unit of USP Marion was the shock that led to the development of the concept. Marion was, at the time, the only level 5 penitentiary in the US, and was supposed to be the final destination for the worst-of-the-worst. The control unit inside Marion was, essentially, the most controlled "prison within a prison" in the entire system, and reserved for inmates that had continued to attack guards and inmates once they were already in Marion. The fact that two people, both Aryan Brotherhood members with multiple murder convictions, managed to coordinate two guard murders on the same day within that place seemed to show that the current plans for super-secure housing just did not work. These were not stupid thugs; they were incredibly clever and crafty individuals that were widely admired within the prison system and had spent literally years patiently and calculatingly coordinating their efforts, all for a chance to kill again. Escape was not even attempted or contemplated. They just had nothing to lose and wanted to prove they could still kill any guard they chose just for the fun of it. The studies done afterwards showed that the biggest single enabling cause, above anything else, was the inmates' ability to communicate and have contact with other prisoners. ADX Florence reflects this; by not allowing the inmates to communicate with each other or the outside world, they are preventing them from orchestrating plans with their compatriots. Frankly, it is the only way. If you studied these men, you'd understand. As for the ones that were sent there directly after trial, such as Rudolph, the Unabomber, and Robert Hanssen, they are sent there mostly due to their notoriety. Segregated housing in a Federal prison, aka "the snitch ward", is not by any stretch a safe place, and since the bad publicity that followed the murder of Jeffrey Dahmer in prison by an inmate who simply wanted to make his name known, the authorities espouse a "better to be safe than happy" policy when it comes to VIP prisoners. Bullzeye (Ring for Service) 05:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Article could use some more detail. Only the most violent prisoners are subject to the full protocol. Others have more human contact and privileges. Unabomber Ted K, for example, famously (or infamously) posted on his Harvard 50th reunion website, so clearly he has internet access privileges, for example.116.91.78.243 (talk) 09:45, 24 May 2012 (UTC)Vainamoinen

 * This article violates WP:WEIGHT: "Neutrality requires that each article or other page in the mainspace fairly represents all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources."
 * This is a long article which concentrates mostly on the Bureau of Prisons' version of the story, including the supposed dangerousness of the prisoners and the need for this prison, with a relatively short discussion in the "Controversies" section of the criticisms of the prison, which have been extensively covered in lawsuits and other WP:RS. The "Controversies" section has been edited to eliminate much of the criticism, and has more space to the rebuttals than the criticisms themselves. This violates WP:WEIGHT.
 * The discussion above is wrong to claim that only the most dangerous, and the worst of the worst, are placed in ADX Florence. In the Wikipedia entry itself, for example, the double agents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADX_Florence#Double_agents are not violent and not an escape threat. Many WP:RSs say that solitary confinement at ADX Florence is overused and counter-productive. For example, in the NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/magazine/inside-americas-toughest-federal-prison.html, Rodney Jones left ADX and adjusted very well to the outside world without any evidence of commiting more crimes. Jones said the staff psychiatrist stopped his prescription for Seroquel, a drug taken for bipolar disorder, and said, “We don’t give out feel-good drugs here.” This is deliberately denying him medical treatment for which he was prescribed. Michael Bacote was mentally ill and denied treatment. Bacote was also transferred to ADX in violation of the law, which is why he became the original plaintiff for the lawsuit.
 * But we should not have an argument in Talk about whether the prisoners "deserve" their treatment, whether Mexican prisons are worse, or the other arguments above; the only question in Wikipedia is what the WP:RS say and what the weight of each viewpoint is.
 * To start with, I think this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ADX_Florence&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=739308849&oldid=739000768#Controversies violates WP:NPOV by eliminating an often-repeated viewpoint, and unless anybody can give a good reason, I'm going to revert it. --Nbauman (talk) 02:40, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Removed text
I removed this text, as it is unsourced and seems rather sketchy:

 * Others lend criticism to the fact that ADX Florence was also originally built to house prisoners that have posed a danger to other prisoners and guards. Many inmates may be assigned to USP Marion or ADX Florence directly after trial, or tranferred without justified reason. As a result, many of those incarcerated in Marion and Florence are considered political prisoners. This was acknowledged by former U.S. Representative Robert Kastenmeier.

The facility isn't underground; it just has no wall-based windows. It sure feels underground to walk it, and because it is built on a hill, entry is through a downward stair, but it is not actually "dug in."'''natcase 949pm, Nov 8 2006

Bed numbers
I suspect the number of beds may be inaccurate. In the report released by CNN, it says the prison has 490 beds, with approxiamately 430 currently occupying, maybe more. Does anyone have more information on this? -Cs92
 * Well, in the prison's own weekly population report, updated 11/9/06, there are currently 468 occupying, although it doesn't say total capacity, probably because prisons, even maximum security prisons, are often able to smush in a lot more inmates than it was originally designed for.

 * Anyway: google search for FLORENCE ADX 490 BEDS yields 259 hits. Google search for FLORENCE ADX 562 BEDS yields 155 hits, most of them seeming to be clones of Wikipedia.  I think the 490 number is more reliable, as it has appeared in a couple Associated Press articles lately about the understaffing at ADX.  Ford MF 05:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Islamic terrorists
When you write Islamic Terrorists beside the description of some terrorists do you mean they are Islamic? Why aren't they just called terrorists? Or why arent the religious belief's of other terrorists written? Christian Terrorists or Jewish Terrorist? Inagatt (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2009 (UTC)inagatt

 * If the prisoner is a terrorist whose motivation is Islam (or any other religion), then it is correct to state that in their brief description. If the person is a terrorist but their religion has nothing to do with their crimes, then it should not be stated in such a short description. If anyone knows of an terrorist at this prison whose crimes were motivated by their Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism etc, then add that info to the description of that inmate. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 14:08, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, Eric Rudolph is identified as a Christian terrorist. So no fair claiming "unequal treatment", Ignatt. I think the real test is whether the terrorism is motivated, justified or otherwise influenced BY religion or religious culture. No? Don't mention it. Yes? Spell it out. Similarly, "white supremacists" and "black radicals" have their races stated, while most of the other white and black inmates don't. Anyway, just ask those guys, Ignatt. Do you think they WON'T say their acts were in the service of Islam? --76.200.147.218 (talk) 07:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Wow, you had me going for a minute, but I think this is one of the many sites around the Internet that copy and republish Wikipedia articles they think will interest their readers. Some are bad guys that don't give Wikipedia a credit in their version of the article.  Here's a paragraph from the site you mention:
 * ADX Florence is a federal prison, comprising a 37-acre, 490-bed complex at 5880 Highway 67, Florence, Colorado. It is one of 3 correctional facilities of the Florence Federal Correctional Complex (FFCC), each with a different overall security level.[1]
 * Why do I think this site copied from Wikipedia and not the other way around? Because of the "[1]" footnote number at the end of the paragraph – they forgot to remove it.

 * Google shows copies, or fragments, of this article at about 10 other sites. Some sites properly give Wikipedia credit, like this "All material adapted used from Wikipedia is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.

Other sites such as meaninglis.com do not, perhaps hoping to make their readers think they're very, very smart.   --CliffC (talk) 14:45, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Inmates that attack others
The sentence 'About 22% of inmates have killed fellow prisoners in other correctional facilities; 35% have attempted to attack other prisoners or officers. Which means 43% have not attacked anyone in prison.' seems odd to me. Surely all you can infer from that sentence is that at most 65% have not attacked and 78% have not killed.

Unclear or questionable assertions.
"Rooms may also be fitted with polished steel mirrors bolted to the wall, an electric light, a radio, and a television that shows recreational, educational and religious programming.[11] These are considered privileges that may be taken away as punishment, so they are placed and remotely controlled such that the inmate does not actually come into contact with them."

Some of this wording seems unclear, and possibly questionable.

 * "may also be fitted with..." -- are there actually any cells that do not have a mirror or an electric light?

 * "privileges that may be taken away..." -- so the 'electric light' can be taken away? I doubt it.  Solitary confinement is acceptable constitutionally, but solitary confinement in the dark would probably not be.  (More common is inmate complaints of too much light -- that the lights are never turned off, even at night.)

 * "may be taken away..." -- the steel mirror bolted to the wall may be taken away? I doubt that this has ever been done.  And how exactly do they "remotely control" this steel mirror?

I think the "may be taken away..." phrase correctly applies to the radio & TV, but not the other stuff. So this is just badly worded.

Oh, and the cite given doesn't seem to confirm these assertions much. (But then, it's Fox News -- not what I'd call a reliable source.) T-bonham (talk) 11:18, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Notable Inmates
I reverted a change that would have removed all the former inmates (and added a bunch more). It seems that McVeigh--among others--is notable and interesting. Also, how many entries should be here, really? We don't need to publish a list of inmates (the BOP does that) and it's really possible for the interesting entries to get lost in the list if there are too many. Nevertheless, sweeping changes like this really should be discussed. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 13:48, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't characterize the change as "sweeping", but regardless I am always willing to discuss edits. I think for the sake of simplicity only current inmates should be included in this article. A separate article (List of prisoners at ADX Florence) already exists for current and former inmates. Also as a note, the BOP does not publish a roster of prisoners—at least as far as I know. The only way to confirm if an inmate is in the facility is to use the BOP's inmate locator, and for that you must either know the inmate's ID number or full name. – Zntrip 06:40, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to explain this edit that I to the article. First, the section heading should follow Wikipedia's Manual of Style and be in lower case (except for the first word). The other major revision I made was to the placement of the "ID number" column. The purpose of that column is essentially to provide an external link to source the material in that row (specifically the name and the projected release date) and sources are usually provided at the end of rows in a table list like this one. – Zntrip 08:15, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Kent Hovind
Hi, I noticed that inmate Kent Hovind was added to the notable inmates list. While the BOP Inmate Locator lists Hovind as being at ADX Florence, he is actually at the minimum-security prison camp.

Life sentence
Whenever an inmate is serving a sentence that is not specified as LIFE on the BOP Inmate Locator, but which makes it impossible that they will be released, I list it as a life sentence for purposes of consistency. For example:

 * MICHAEL RUDKIN, age 43, release date in 2099
 * MAHMUD ABOUHALIMA, age 52, release date in 2087
 * THOMAS SILVERSTEIN, age 60, release date in 2095

Why are these tables sortable?

NCIS reference
The reference to NCIS New Orleans "In NCIS New Orleans, where the militia general would be sent because he made a deal with the Syrians to kill Navy Seals." apparently does not make any sense.Renerpho (talk) 15:40, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Cartel leaders aren't organized crime figures?
Especially given that this section contains only one individual, why isn't he just included under "organized crime figures?" This seems like a distinction without a difference. 108.34.206.74 (talk) 03:42, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Security levels and visits?
The article says
 * houses about 400 male inmates, each assigned to one of six security levels

Do we know what those levels are and how they differ in their privileges? Are prisoners of all six levels in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day? How often can prisoners of the various levels receive visitors? AxelBoldt (talk) 22:02, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Political Prisoners?
The examples of famous prisoners doesn't fit at all with the claim that these prisoners are the most violent.

Robert Hanson, Ted Kyzonski, Terry Nichols, etc. These are political Prisoners in the sense that they threatened the State. They have no record of attacking guards or other imates.

In all these cases I've mentioned they were sent here directly from their trial as additional punishment for political crimes. It is the American gulag.

The article reads as government propaganda as written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.9.224 (talk) 16:45, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Gowadia claim
On the B-2 article it says "Noshir Gowadia, a design engineer who worked on the B-2's propulsion system, was arrested for selling B-2 related classified information to foreign countries." But on this page he is the "principal designer of the B-2 stealth bomber". Obviously the "principal designer" worked on the propulsion system ... but can we try to get these job titles to agree a little better? A5 (talk) 17:59, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Digging deeper Oss or Free software…..

There has been a gruesome debate about the point that which is the best alternative for us proprietary software the answer was oss and free software …But! This was not to stop the compartmentalization that differences started inculcating between the oss and free philosophies…. According to the stalwarts of both the notions Richard Stallman, Eric Steven Raymond both give theories which though have a considerable intersection but still differ in implementation…The Free software movement can be surely called the father of the strong non-proprietary paradigm but oss can be called as its most objective implementation…also it can be said Free software movement talks of freedom to programmers, hackers and society in general while OSS talks of a robust business model implementation… But inevitably in the profit centric society a compromise is desirable…OSS does this by presenting an a replaceable alternative to proprietary software .Richard talks of Free software in a spiritual sense and has made considerable efforts to drive the movement….but he also is essential to the growth of OSS as not only a father to the movement but as a collaborating messiah for we dollar driven people.. So where does OSS draw a line to take what is feasible from free software a point in this regard is the GPL and also the notion of bazaar style development which can be both internal, customer centric in the case of OSS.. At last the results of the Netscape Mozilla project our with us… So what is your choice?

Founded in 1875 Following the wishes of General Lewis B. Parsons..in his will written in 1855... "...I do therefore after payment of the foregoing bequests and the reasonable expenses of administration, give and bequeath the residue of my estate, together with my Natural History of New York and my small cabinet of minerals, to my said executors and the survivors or survivor of them. In Trust to be by them used and expended in founding and endowing an Institution of learning in the state of Iowa, or to be expended in enhancing an existing institution... ...And on October 17th 1874 steps were taken by the Synod of Iowa (south) of the Presbyterian Church which had been looking to establish a school for higher education in a meeting in Keokuk developed a committee to establish such a school. On that committee of twelve which included Rev. Willis Craig, Rev. Carson Reed, and Rev.John G. Armstrong comprised the executive committee.

Prior to this.... The executors of General Parsons visited Iowa in 1869 and appointed an advisory committee of 3 ministers Rev. G. Sprees of Dubuque, Rev.John Armstrong of Muscatine and Rev. Willis Craig of Keokuk to locate an appropriate institution or town in which to invest their funds. So Fairfield among other Iowa towns volunteered as a place where this could happen...a meeting was held and the Location Committee was invited to Fairfield"...William Elliot presided and opened the meeting with a prayer. This fact was noted by General Parsons the senior executor of his father's trust, and made an impression on him, as it was the only place of all which the committee had visited where prayer was offered." From: 50 Years of Parsons College 1875-1925" February 24th 1875 a call went out to 25 people of Fairfield who adopted articles of association...$27,516.00 was raised. A board was established to oversee the founding and guide the growth of Parsons which included prominent business and clergy from surrounding towns. Included in this board was Rev. Willis Craig. A plot of land North of town was designated as the site of the fledgling school. Using a mansion on the grounds of the site Parsons opened as a sectarian college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and quietly grew establishing itself and making do until through funds raised by local businessmen a large building housing science labs, administration offices and lecture halls was constructed.

Grounds were landscaped and additional structures were raised through the generosity of Mr.T.D.Foster and others. "...steps were taken in 1902 to provide if possible, for additional buildings (after a disastrous fire destroyed a main building on campus...Ankeny Hall.)" When Andrew Carnegie was a youth, he was involved in the construction of a railroad bridge in Keokuk, Iowa and while in Keokuk was a member of the church whose minister was Dr. Willis Craig. Being familiar with Mr. Carnegie and he first Carnegie library west of the Mississippi River in the United States was built in Fairfield, Iowa http://www.fairfieldpublicaccess.org/carnegie.htm

the Chairman of the Board Dr. Willis G. Craig and the President of the College went to New York to see if Mr. Andrew Carnegie would build a library for the growing Parsons College http://homepage.ntlworld.com/g.blaikie/andrew.htm (Scroll down to 1893)...

As a result of that interview Mr Carnegie promised a gift of $15,000 for a library building, provided a like amount were raised by the college for endowment and upkeep. http://andrewcarnegie.tripod.com/carnformula.htm This was considered by the college board to be too severe a condition at the time so the matter was dropped. Well, after the fire that destroyed the main building, Ankney Hall, other needs of the growing college were felt, but happily in the summer of 1905 Mr.T.D. Foster, (Foster Hall) while crossing the Atlantic, found that Mr. Carnegie was a fellow passenger. An occasion on board ship occurred and TD "presented the matter again, when Mr. Carnegie generously waived all conditions and gave $15,000 outright for the building." Up until 1955 the college was like many other small colleges in the midwest.It's history was unexceptional and a reputation was purely local.For more than 75 years Parsons grew slowly, accepting anyone who wanted to come-mostly from Fairfield's environs,accumulating little endowment and many deficits. In the 1950's Parsons had an enrollment of a few hundred and an administration beset with financial hardship. In 1955 the trustees adapted a "Fifteen-year plan" to develop the college and appointed Millard G. Roberts a presbyterian minister from New York City as president of the college. Although he had no experience in educational administration, the trustees believed that he had the ability to promote the college,raise more money from donors,attract more students and possibly manage the school more efficiently. Throughout the twelve years that Millard Roberts was President of Parsons controversy was one of the many unforeseen outcomes of his Presidency. Among the positive outcomes, Roberts promoted a nation wide campaign for students. Enrollment grew from 350 to 5000 students, it's income rocketed and the professors entered a circle of the highest paid teachers in the nation. All due to a program Roberts called "The Parsons College Plan."Throughout the twelve years that Millard Roberts was President of Parsons controversy was one of the many unforeseen outcomes of his Presidency. Among the positive outcomes, Roberts promoted a nation wide campaign for students. Enrollment grew from 350 to 5000 students, it's income rocketed and the professors entered a circle of the highest paid teachers in the nation. All due to a program Roberts called "The Parsons College Plan." Publish or Perish was relaxed at Parsons, a Scholar in Residence program was established exposing students to top academic instructors often finding published authors teaching freshman level humanities and history courses.

Dr Roberts also brought to Parsons his able and greatly appreciated wife, Dr. Louise Roberts who taught Humanities courses and introduced many students to the Greek Classics. Her humane and comfortable teaching style inspired many halfhearted students to rise above their humble academic expectations. The "Parsons Plan" included academic help in all areas of instruction. A ranked professor taught a 3 credit course with 3 hours per week of formal lecture, an academic specialist..usually a masters degree holder or instructor would have a small classroom seminar 2 days per week to review the lecture notes adding weekly quizes, and a tutorial center in the Wright Library was available to all students where by they could review all course work. One third of all students were recruited from the East,one third from the Midwest and one third from the West Coast. One third were in the top third academically, one third were middle level and one third were academacally challanged. Students were permitted to learn at a rate that was unique to them, often manifesting in the student repeating the course a following trimester with no loss of standing as an enrolled student. (Known to the student as double starring) Thus it was possible for a student to maintain overall cumulative grade point averages of acceptable levels. Some students would attend parsons and then transfer to more prestigious venues.Sports was a very big part of Parsons College.Football was ther most popular sport and provided a link between the college and the community. Football was the main event from opening night in 1893 and held the publics attention forr the following 78 years.

The first football game ever played at Parson's was on September 16, 1893. It was Parson's vs. Elliot Business College of Burlington. Parson's won 70-0. Students were enthusiastic about sports from then on. This monumental winning promoted the building of Parson's own stadium and field for their 1894 season. An alum from the early days said that football was a huge event and very great fun to attend the games. In 1966 a new 5,000 seat stadium was built on the campus. Iowa Wesleyan College was Parsons's number one rival for 70 years. The two teams played each other 60 times. Parsons won 34 of the games, and Iowa Wesleyan won 21 games. During a 41 year span, Parsons won Conference Championship five times, and six of their players were members of the Parsons College Football Hall of Fame. All together, the teams played over 600 games. Parsons College was invited to the Hula Bowl in Hawaii and the Pecan Bowl in Texas. Basketball was another popular sport at Parsons. The first basketball game they played as an independent school was in 1963. Other sports Parsons athletes participated in were wrestling, tennis, baseball, skeet club, golf, soccer, and cross-country. The more unique sports were fencing and sharpchuters. Fencing began in 1964 and members learned the art of medieval sword play. Sharpchuters also began in 1964; now known as parachuting. Parsons College radio station established in the '60s broadcast these events to the avid student fans. The Students of Parsons After the arrival of President Roberts in 1955, the full-time enrollment of students at Parsons College began to increase dramatically. Enrollment goals for 1963-1964 had been substantially met and there was a possibility of a slight over-enrollment in the Fall of 1964. At one time, the Board of Trustees had placed the limit of 3,000 students on campus at any given time. By 1968 the enrollment topped 5,000 students with a dramatic building plan creating low cost housing units-"quads", and co-ed housing and standard dormitories (Unfortunatly often housing 3 students to rooms designed for two). Roberts created the college's own construction company thus essentially putting money back into the school's own coffers and lowering costs. A difficult but interesting problem of Parsons College was how to fill the summer trimester. This problem led to a scheduling solution that was very different from many other colleges. The difference being that at Parsons, the third trimester began on June 8 instead of in April as at other colleges. As the trimester system continued at Parsons, they were charging $1,650 tuition for 3 semesters. They offered a full tuition scholarship of $600 during the summer semester if the students maintained a C average. Those who could manage on a D got $250. The students still had to pay room and board charges. Parsons offered many opportunities for the financially stressed students with work-study grants employing students as kitchen staff, serving staff, dishwashers and to attract women to the overwhelmingly male populated campus "milk maids" (attractive co-eds received free meals for serving milk in pitchers roaming the dining halls) received full board grants. Full room and board grants were provided for grounds workers and dorm monitors. Parsons became known mainly as a college for students who couldn't get into any other colleges or had been refused readmission from another college due to poor grades, but not all students went there because of that. Some of them just liked the atmosphere. The Parsons Campus was a classical ivy path greensward park like atmosphere, with gothic cathedral and collonaded porticos on the Hall that Andrew Carnegie built for a library. Transfers, at one time, made up 43% of the student body, and never dropped lower than 22%. This was the main reason that Parsons was often referred to as "Flunk-Out U" or as a college "for rich dumb kids." An unfortunate article in Life Magazine (April 1966) highlighted many wisecracking students and prominently featured the highspirited recreational adventures of many of the students. Most of the students attending Parsons were from the middle-class. The rate of students leaving school before graduation was high. Over 70% of students who entered Parsons in the fall of 1960 left the school by the end of their second year. Parsons had a loose retention policy, which means grades didn't have to stay too high for students to stay in good standing with the institution. The teachers were successful with most students, regardless of their ability. They only had problems with those who went to class grudgingly, however, many students didn't go at all. Girls at Parsons were outnumbered 4 to 1. Despite the shortage, most students gave Parsons a four-star rating as a party college. Townspeople complained bitterly about the drinking parties and the wild driving that followed these parties. One example would be the classic party held in a cemetery crypt. The proliferation of Greek letter Fraternities and Sororites as well as "independent" social groups provided party houses and socialization opportunities off campus. The campus was "dry" and the women had "hours", curfews and monitoring. Town wide celebrations such as homecoming parades, Greek week with chariot races and "Town and Gown" events with Parsons College fine Drama Department enhanced cultural life in Fairfield. The townspeople of Fairfield wondered if the hard drinking hot-rodding invasion of Parsons boys was a mixed blessing. Students from other communities would flock to Fairfield to learn how to get a piece of the academic action. But in the end, the fame of Parsons didn't last very long. A combination of reasons...academic competition from other schools,The revocation of accredition by the NCA, the discouraging effect of the Life Magazine article and the financial dependence on a steady tuition inflow spelled doom for the underendowed institution. Shedding itself of the maligned and controversial Dr Milard Roberts the leadership was placed into the capable leadership of Doctor Robert Tree. The college went to great lengths to stay the creditors including selling the rich Iowa topsoil from the graceful campus. Sadly all efforts to save the college were destined to fail. The college recovered it's accreditation, but it was too late. Many Parsons students went on to academic excellence in other institutions and became great assets to their communities having mastered social skills in the farm land of Iowa of the '60s. The graceful buildings and stately grounds have now undergone destruction as the campus' new incarnation as the home of Maharishi University. A dome now arises for trancendental medition on the former gridiron where Parson's Football heros once fought great competitive battles.

Original Parsons Wiki Entry
Greetings, I wrote the original Wikipedia entry in 2005 thinking that there should be some place for the Parsons Story to be told to the world. The original version is included in the discussion section under my user name GeneParsonsGrad. It has been polished wikified, sterilized and formalized, but hopefully it will remain for all to see and use. original: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parsons_College&oldid=20210982

As a graduate of the 1968 class of Parsons College I experienced much of the the exciting years of growth and discovery.

I began in the summer trimester of  1964 getting off the Nebraska Zephyr on what I thought was someone's lawn. That there was a car waiting asking if I was here for Parsons Surprised me-wondering gee how did they know? the field house, assigned to Howard Dorm- no air conditioning..that summer the craze was making silver rings outof quarters, Taking a spoon tapping the edges of the quarter tink tink tink was all you could hear from the dorm. [More to follow]

Missing Dollar Paradox
This is something that people would forward in emails to friends who are deadly bored in their cubicles. It sounds scientific, but it's not, thus there is no hope for expansion. Renata3 19:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd keep and expand this. It's actually a notable lateral thinking problem, almost on par with today's featured article (the Monty Hall problem).  -- Grev -- Talk 20:24, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Lateral thinking as an example (or delete - don't keep)- there are hundreds of these things around - they are not individually encyclopaedic. --Doc (?) 20:30, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand - this is an annoying puzzle that I've seen in far too many places. A good centralized explanation to people of how it works would be useful. Not sure that this is the best name for it, though.DS 13:37, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand -- like the Monty Hall problem which was recently a featured article of the day, this is a well-known "paradox" (falsely so-called) which can be used to elucidate related subjects. --FOo 15:51, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Wikipedia has a long winded rambling explanation. It just math. Simple math. Instead of adding the Bellhop's 2 bucks to the 27 paid by 3 guests, just add it to the clerk's 25 bucks. then the equation balances. Or subtract it from the guests 27 bucks - do not add it.

ie the motel has 25, the bellhop has 2 and the guests are out 27. there are 3 deep pockets - not two.

Just a word puzzle. So helps to restate the events. Or remove the Bellhop. So it is the clerk that keeps the 2 bucks. and gives the bellhop 3 bucks to refund to 3 guests. Bellhops are not too bright?

For a real life puzzle:

Pretend the Guests are TDY and filing a government voucher and get a kick back. Or they stay in same room but claim 3 rooms. Get fake bills from the motel. What happened to the Taxpayer's money?

Other puzzle is why they stay in a 5 star hotel when a 3 star motel is their standard normally. Pretend the 3 travelers are government contractors instead of government workers? haha. and triple the cost to pay for political bribes and donations to campaigns.

Again, what happens to the Taxpayers money? Palm60 (talk) 20:13, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Zydis

Zydis is a technology used to manufacture orally disintegrating tablets developed by R.P. Scherer Corporation. Zydis tablets dissolve in the mouth within 3 seconds.

History
Zydis technology was developed by R.P. Scherer Corporation (currently owned by Catalent Pharma Solutions) in 1986. The technology's first commercial application was in August, 1993, when a new dosage form of Pepcidine (famotidine) from Merck & Co. was launched in Sweden.

In November 1993 Imodium Lingual (loperamide) from Janssen Pharmaceutica was released in Germany with Zydis technology.

In December, 1996, the Food and Drug Administration approved Claritin (loratadine) RediTabs from Schering-Plough, the first prescription drug with Zydis technology sold in the U.S.

Technology
A Zydis tablet is produced by lyophilizing or freeze-drying the drug in a matrix usually consisting of gelatin. The resulting product is very lightweight and fragile, and must be dispensed in a special blister pack.

Amipara et al., in their article "Oral disintirating tablet of antihypertensive drug" explain the technology's limitations: The Zydis formulations consist of a drug physically trapped in a water-soluble matrix (saccharine mixture and polymer), which is freeze dried to produce a product that dissolves rapidly when placed in mouth. The ideal candidate for Zydis technology should be chemically stable and insoluble and particle size preferably less than 50 micron. Water soluble drugs might form eutectic mixtures and not freeze adequately, so dose is limited to 60 mg and the maximum drug limit is 400 mg for water insoluble drug as large particle sizes might present sedimentation problems during manufacture.

Advantages
Zydis tablets:

 * are convenient for the patients who have difficulty in swallowing (children, old people, bed-ridden and psychiatric patients);
 * are fast to absorb;
 * don't require water to consume;
 * have good taste (mouth feel);
 * don't provoke choking or suffocation;
 * have high microbial resistance ("due to the low moisture content in the final product, the Zydis formulation does not allow microbial growth").

Disadvantages
Disadvantages include:

 * increased price due to cost-intensive production;
 * sensitivity to moisture (tablets can degrade at higher humidity);
 * poor physical resistance (easy to break);
 * limited ability to incorporate higher concentrations of active drug.

Rana (genus)

Rana (derived from Latin rana, meaning 'frog') is a genus of frogs commonly known as the Holarctic true frogs, pond frogs or brown frogs. Members of this genus are found through much of Eurasia and western North America. Many other genera were formerly included here. These true frogs are usually largish species characterized by their slim waists and wrinkled skin; many have thin ridges running along their backs, but they generally lack "warts" as in typical toads. They are excellent jumpers due to their long, slender legs. The typical webbing found on their hind feet allows for easy movement through water. Coloration is mostly greens and browns above, with darker and yellowish spots.

Distribution and habitat
Many frogs in this genus breed in early spring, although subtropical and tropical species may breed throughout the year. Males of most of the species are known to call, but a few species are thought to be voiceless. Females lay eggs in rafts or large, globular clusters, and can produce up to 20,000 at one time.

Diet
Rana species feed mainly on insects and invertebrates, but swallow anything they can fit into their mouths, including small vertebrates. Among their predators are egrets, crocodiles, and snakes.

Systematics
Some 50 to 100 extant species are now placed in this genus by various authors; many other species formerly placed in Rana are now placed elsewhere. Frost restricted Rana to the Old World true frogs and the Eurasian brown and pond frogs of the common frog R. temporaria group, although other authors disagreed with this arrangement. In 2016, a consortium of Rana researchers from throughout Europe, Asia, and North America revised the group, and reported that the arrangement of Frost (2006) resulted in nonmonophyletic groups. Yuan et al. (2016) included all the North American ranids within Rana, and used subgenera for the well-differentiated species groups within Rana. Both of these classifications are presented below.

Genera recently split from Rana are Babina, Clinotarsus (including Nasirana), Glandirana, Hydrophylax, Hylarana, Lithobates, Odorrana (including Wurana), Pelophylax, Pulchrana, Sanguirana, and Sylvirana. Of these, Odorrana and Lithobates are so closely related to Rana proper, they could conceivably be included here once again. The others seem to be far more distant relatives, in particular Pelophylax.

New species are still being described in some numbers. A number of extinct species are in the genus, including Rana basaltica, from Miocene deposits in China.

Species
The following species are recognised in the genus Rana:

*Rana maoershanensis is likely not its own species, according to new genetic research. The following fossil species are also known:
 * Rana amurensis (Boulenger, 1886) – Siberian tree frog, Siberian wood frog, Amur brown frog
 * Rana arvalis – Moor frog
 * Rana asiatica – Central Asiatic frog, Asian frog
 * Rana aurora – Northern red-legged frog
 * Rana boylii – Foothill yellow-legged frog
 * Rana cascadae – Cascades frog
 * Rana chaochiaoensis – Chaochiao frog
 * Rana chensinensis – Asiatic grass frog, Chinese brown frog
 * Rana chevronta – Chevron-spotted brown frog
 * Rana coreana – Korean brown frog
 * Rana dalmatina – Agile frog
 * Rana draytonii – California red-legged frog
 * Rana dybowskii – Dybowski's frog

 * Rana sakuraii – Stream brown frog, Napparagawa frog
 * Rana sauteri – Sauter's brown frog, Kanshirei village frog, Taiwan groove-toed frog, Taiwan pseudotorrent frog
 * Rana sangzhiensis – Sangzhi frog, Sangzhi groove-toed frog
 * Rana shuchinae – Sichuan frog
 * Rana sierrae – Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog, Sierra Nevada Mountain yellow-legged frog
 * Rana tagoi – Tago's brown frog
 * Rana tavasensis – Tavas frog
 * Rana temporaria – Common frog, European common frog, European common brown frog, European grass frog
 * Rana tsushimensis – Tsushima brown frog, Tsushima leopard frog
 * Rana uenoi
 * Rana ulma – Okinawa frog
 * Rana zhengi
 * Rana zhenhaiensis – Zhenhai brown frog

 * †Rana architemporaria (Pliocene of Japan)
 * †Rana basaltica (Miocene of China)
 * †?Rana hipparionum (Late Miocene/Early Pliocene of China, nomen dubium)
 * †Rana pliocenica (Late Miocene of California)
 * †Rana muelleri (Pleistocene of Germany)
 * †Rana strausi (Late Pliocene of Germany)
 * †?Rana yushensis (Early Pliocene of China, nomen nudum)

The earliest known fossils of true Rana are of an indeterminate species from the Early Miocene of Germany. The paleosubspecies Rana temporaria fossilis was described in 1951 for articulated fossils from the late Eocene/early Oligocene of Bulgaria, but this taxonomic proposal was found to be invalid. Rana likely originated in Asia and migrated west to colonize Europe by the early Miocene, as was done earlier by Pelophylax.

Notes on other taxonomic arrangements:

The harpist brown frog, Kampira Falls frog, or Yaeyama harpist frog was formerly known as R. psaltes; it was subsequently identified as the long-known R. okinavana. The latter name has been misapplied to the Ryūkyū brown frog, but the harpist brown frog is a rather distinct species that apparently belongs in Babina or Nidirana if these are considered valid.

Saint Jacques Street

Saint Jacques Street (officially in rue Saint-Jacques), or St. James Street, is a major street in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, running from Old Montreal westward to Lachine.

The street is commonly known by two names, "St. James Street" in English (after St. James's, London) and rue Saint-Jacques in French. Both names are used in English and French, although Saint-Jacques is the most common for geographical reference. St. James Street is usually used in reference to the street's historic importance as a financial district.

History
A main thoroughfare passing through Old Montreal, the street was first opened in 1672. The portion between McGill Street and place Saint Henri was originally called Bonaventure Street (rue Saint-Bonaventure). This name has passed down to Place Bonaventure, Bonaventure Expressway, and Bonaventure Metro station, despite the disappearance of their original referents.

In the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, St. James Street was the centre of Montreal's financial district and where several major English insurance, banking, and trust companies built their Canadian head offices. Prior to World War I, Canadian, provincial, and major municipal governments along with important industries such as the railways, public utility and canal companies obtained most of their capital financing in the United Kingdom or the United States. At the end of the War, St. James Street grew rapidly and although by the 1920s there were stock exchanges in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver, St. James Street's stock brokerage houses and the Montreal Stock Exchange were the most important in all of Canada. At the time of its construction in 1928, the Royal Bank of Canada's new headquarters at 360 St. James Street was the tallest building in the British Empire. The St James St. area was also the head office of the Bank of Montreal, and the informal head office of the Bank of Nova Scotia. It was also home to the major brokerage houses such as Nesbitt, Thomson and Company, Pitfield, MacKay, Ross, Royal Securities Corporation and others.

Some companies, past and present, located on St. James Street are:

 * 50 : Ottawa Hotel, Montreal
 * 60 : Versailles Building
 * 100 : New York Life Insurance Company
 * 105-107 : Royal Trust
 * 119 : Bank of Montreal - main Montreal branch
 * 201-215 : Canadian Pacific Express
 * 210-212 : Yorkshire Insurance Company
 * 215 : McMaster Meighen, lawyers
 * 225 : National Trust Company
 * 231-235 : Montreal Star
 * 240 : Guardian Trust Company - The Dominion Bank
 * 244 : Royal Securities Corporation
 * 249-251 : Jones-Heward Financial Services
 * 262-266 : Montreal City and District Savings Bank
 * 265 : Canadian Bank of Commerce
 * 275 : Canada Life
 * 278-288 : Molson Bank
 * 355 : Merchants Bank of Canada
 * 360 : Royal Bank of Canada
 * 388-390 : Sovereign Bank of Canada then Union Bank and Commercial Union Assurance Co.
 * 393 : Crown Trust Company
 * 437 : Eastern Townships Bank then the Commercial Union Assurance Co. and the Bank of Nova Scotia

East of Place d'Armes square, the street was home to two French-Canadian financial institutions, the Banque Canadienne Nationale and the Banque du Peuple, long gone now.

Decline
A number chose to gradually move their official head offices to Toronto, Ontario, while others shifted all future expansion to Toronto or other major Canadian centres. As a result, the St. James Street financial district has all but disappeared.

Recent history
During the 1990s, the Montreal Expos baseball club unveiled plans to build a new stadium in downtown Montreal, right off St. Jacques Street, just south of the Bell Centre. When provincial funding for the new building fell through, the Expos did not continue with their plan and sold the property to developers. That stretch of Saint Jacques is now undergoing considerable gentrification.

Today, the stretch of St. Jacques Street between McGill Street and Saint Laurent Boulevard is still notable mostly for its grand Neo-Classical buildings on the part of the street running through the Old Montreal district.

Orville Adalbert Derby

Orville Adalbert Derby (July 23, 1851 in Kelloggsville, New York – November 27, 1915) was an American geologist who worked in Brazil.

Education
Derby studied geology at Cornell University, obtaining his degree in 1873. While a student, he was invited in 1870 by his professor Charles Frederick Hartt (1840–1878) to follow him in study travel to Brazil (the Morgan Expedition), and returning with him in 1871, this time going to the Tapajós River in the Amazon. Just after his graduation, Derby accepted the post of assistant professor at Cornell and briefly substituted for Hartt during another travel to Brazil in 1874. In June of the same year, Derby defended his doctoral thesis on the carboniferous brachiopoda in the Amazon.

Brazil
When Hartt organized the first Geological Commission of the Empire of Brazil, Derby was nominated as its assistant and returned to Brazil in December 1875. In 1877, with the end of the Commission, Derby decided to stay in Brazil and accepted a post at the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro. He became also a member and director of the Geographic and Geological Commission of São Paulo from 1886 to 1904. This commission later originated the Astronomical and Geophysical Institute of the University of São Paulo. Derby founded also the first Botanical Gardens in São Paulo ("Horto Botânico"). In 1906 he was nominated to the Brazilian Geographic and Geological Survey.

Derby worked in many domains of the geological sciences, such as mineralogy, economic geology, physical geography, cartography, petrography, meteorology, archeology and paleontology.

Publications
He published 173 papers on the geology of Brazil from 1873 to 1915. He was also the publisher of one of the first geological maps of Brazil, in 1915.

Personal life and death
Derby never married and led a solitary existence, living mostly in hotel rooms. After the failure of an invitation by the state government of Bahia, he returned to Rio de Janeiro and committed suicide in a hotel room, on November 27, 1915, a few months after gaining Brazilian citizenship. He was 64 years old. After Derby's unexpected death, staff of the survey realised that they did not have any recent picture of him. They dispatched some men to Derby's hotel room, where they cleaned him up, sat him in a chair and photographed him, holding his eyes open with matchsticks.

Category:Bomb vessels

A bomb vessel (also known as a bomb ketch or bomb ship) was a type of sailing ship equipped with mortars. Because of their heavily-reinforced construction, many ships of this type were also used as exploration ships in the polar regions.
