Huh?
I took this out of the intro: "Brightman went for an Arabian style as seen in the album's theme of myth and fantasy." While there are themes of myth and fantasy in the album, and while there is a (decidedly Western interpretation of) "Arabian" style present in some of the instrumentals, linking the two only furthers the tiresome equation of the "Arabian" with the mystical and exotic.

Anton Arcane

Anton Arcane is a supervillain appearing in American comic books by DC Comics. the character first appeared in Swamp Thing #2 (January 1973), and was created by writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson. He is the archenemy of Swamp Thing, the protagonist of the comics.

Fictional character biography
Arcane is a scientist whose obsession with gaining immortality has led him to create monstrous creatures known as "Un-Men", as well as other monstrous biogenetic experimentations involving the dead. He was able to resurrect his deceased brother Gregori as the Patchwork Man. He is also a skilled magician, which he is able to channel through his horrific experiments.

Living in the mountains of Europe with his niece Abigail, Arcane is introduced after he discovers and lures the plant-based hero to his castle home. Arcane sought to use his scientific and magical abilities to transform his body into the Swamp Thing's form, while changing the Swamp Thing back into Alec Holland. At first very grateful to be human again, Alec soon overheard Arcane discussing his evil intentions now that he could carry them out. Alec then succeeds in breaking the spell Arcane cast, and sacrifices his humanity, so Arcane becomes a frail old man again. Pursued by the Swamp Thing, Arcane fell to his death, only to be resurrected by his Un-Men in a new body. He then attacked the Swamp Thing twice more before truly dying, the first time as a hulking corpse-like Un-Man (only to be destroyed by the vengeful ghosts of African-American slaves who had possessed his Un-Men) and later as an insect-like cyborg piloting a massive dragonfly-like vehicle that is actually a tesseract (i.e., its interior is larger than its exterior). It is after his third death that his soul was consigned to Hell.

Arcane's soul later escaped from Hell and ultimately helped to summon the demon Monkey King into the world.

After a fight with Abigail that culminated in her leaving on foot to find the Swamp Thing, Matt Cable (Abigail's husband) had an attack of conscience and drove after her. He had been drinking heavily and wound up crashing his car, leaving him mortally wounded. Ultimately Arcane managed to possess Cable's body, and with it gained access to Cable's godlike power.

In this body, he masquerades as Cable, claiming that he has a new job at a company called Blackriver Recorporations and is buying a mansion for them to live. Arcane combined his own magic with Cable's inherent psychic powers to alter reality and the employees of Blackriver Recorporations were the resurrected souls of deceased serial killers returned from Hell. He finally revealed himself, tormenting his niece and causing havoc and insanity by altering reality on a massive scale. For miles around natural and unnatural disasters occurred, people succumbed to homicidal instincts and the resurrected serial killers returned to killing.

He once again battled the Swamp Thing, accompanied by monstrous forms resembling Un-Men, after killing Abigail and condemning her soul to Hell, all the while declaring Earth as his now.

It was during this battle that Arcane found that the Swamp Thing was a plant elemental and thus possessed semi-magical abilities, allowing the Swamp Thing to combat him on a more even ground. The battle was enough for Matthew Cable to regain control of his body, and Arcane was exorcised directly back to Hell. Cable used his awakened power to resurrect Abigail's body, but not having sufficient power to repair himself, became comatose and finally died, whereupon he became Matthew, a raven living within the Dreaming.

Arcane next appears as a demon, having been promoted to this status by the Lords of Hell. After Lucifer abdicates from leadership of Hell, Arcane finally escapes to possess Swamp Thing's infant daughter Tefé Holland and later the corpse of Avery Sunderland. In a later episode, Arcane temporarily repents of his evil ways after having briefly found God, who eventually banishes him back to Hell. Arcane is tortured by the demon Josephine, whom he seduces into helping him escape. The Swamp Thing defeats the two demons, causing their forms to morph together, and when last seen, it is revealed that the Arcane/Josephine being is pregnant.

The New 52
In the wake of The New 52 (a 2011 reboot of the DC Comics universe), Anton Arcane is a regular antagonist in the monthly Swamp Thing comics. After Abigail was able to fight off the mental control of Sethe, Sethe revives Anton Arcane from the dead. as the avatar of the Black (a.k.a. the Rot), after which he tries to take over the Red (colliding with Animal Man as well) and the Green. Anton also has a son named William Arcane and Abigail is his daughter in this timeline.

During Animal Man and the Swamp Thing's one year in the Rot, Anton Arcane and the forces of the Rot were able to take over parts of Earth. It was mentioned by Frankenstein that Anton Arcane had imprisoned someone beneath Metropolis. When the forces of the Red and the forces of the Green converge outside of Anton Arcane's castle, Anton Arcane unleashes corrupted versions of Maxine Baker and Abigail Arcane. Anton Arcane and the Rot's conquest of Earth is thwarted and undone when Maxine breaks the hold of the remaining Hunter's Three on her.

After being defeated by the Swamp Thing, Arcane is put in a Hell specifically made for him by the Parliament of Decay when nothing ever rots and all is forever pure. Abigail, as the new avatar of the Rot, comes to him demanding information about her mother. Arcane reveals that when she was a baby she already had power over the Rot and she accidentally killed her by 'filling' her with the Rot. To make him talk Abigail lets him feel rot, but she now says he will never escape his Hell and will never touch rot again. Arcane says that when he touched it when she gave it to him, he became stronger than he had been in ages and he will escape and take revenge on both her and Alec Holland. As she teleports away, Arcane rips out one of his eyes and throws it in the portal. On Earth, a boy is about to eat an apple when it turns rotten. He throws it away and Arcane's eye appears in it.

In Swamp Thing vol. 5 #36, when the Swamp Thing goes in the Rot to warn Abigail about the new realm of machines, she initially assumes that he is there because of Arcane, who has escaped. It is eventually shown that he has returned to Earth, but since he is not the avatar of the Rot, he can only gain strength from consuming rotten items, like corpses and garbage, and as such is terribly weakened. He joins forces with the new realm of Metal, which promises him the power that he lost, and his power does grow greatly in this time. He later poisons the Green from within, when the Swamp Thing is weakened in an attempt to destroy it, but this fails when all the avatars of the Green are awakened and use their power to cleanse the Green to its original state. Abigail challenges Arcane in the final war against Metal, and while she has the upper hand, Arcane eventually escapes.

In Futures End, it is revealed that five years in the future, a series of events conspired to ensure that all avatars swore to stay off of Earth and within their own realms to prevent chaos. Arcane only agreed to this if he was allowed to bind himself to Abigail forever, as seen when his left hand and her right are completely fused in a twisted embrace and when he calls her his "daughter-wife". In doing so, he allowed himself to leech off her power, as the true avatar of the Rot, and ensuring that the Swamp Thing could not fight him, without risking harm or death to the one he loved. However, the Swamp Thing has made the decision to destroy the Rot, using the power of a Life through a White Lantern Ring. Arcane attempts to dissuade him, by citing the necessity of death and rot, but the Swamp Thing counters it by saying that fungi/the Grey and bacteria/the Divided have already decided to take over the role of rot, while Metal will keep them in check. Arcane then tries to give up Abigail, but the Swamp Thing believes that there is enough life in her to let her survive and in the worst case, death is better than the Hell that she lives in. Arcane briefly tries to fight back, but Abigail makes her move to distract him, long enough for the Swamp Thing to activate the White Lantern ring and bringing about the death of Anton Arcane.

DC Rebirth
Arcane managed to return to power in the Rot and trapped Abigail in her own dream of past memories. Swearing vengeance, he struck a deal with Woodrue to create a strain of Cordyceps capable of infecting people and wreak havoc upon the world so the Rot reigns supreme. Wonder Woman's team ventured into the Rot after Constantine and Zatanna since Animal Man managed to convince the Parliament of Bacteria to counteract the Cordyceps, thwarting his plan and freeing Abigail. Nevertheless, Arcane manages to escape the team's grasp.

Powers and abilities
Anton Arcane possesses the knowledge of creating synthetic organs and skin, from those he made his Un-Men with. Arcane initially wants to build a new body for himself and transfer his own consciousness into it so he could be immortal within its tireless form instead of in this normal aged, worn out one. He also possesses many arcane artifacts, as well as necromancy, which enables him to control the dead. In The New 52, Arcane was brought in as the avatar of the Rot just as Alec Holland is the avatar of the Green. As the avatar, he could manipulate rot, death, and decay to his will, especially within living beings. When the Swamp Thing and Animal Man are trapped inside the Rot, Arcane uses this 'living' rot on everyone, except those who have a strong enough connection to the Red (animals) or the Green (plants), such as Poison Ivy or the Man-Bat. There are certain ways to prevent the living rot, such as using the Man-Bat serum if before being completely controlled by it. These rot zombies can be weakened or even killed with Alec's bio-restorative formula. Arcane's new Un-Men were normal people who gave themselves to the Rot.

Talk:Tommy Hilfiger

Bad Things that happen
Can anyone find a serious third party source that provides proof that Tommy Hilfiger didn't in fact make those comments? Sfacets 03:23, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The weight to provide proof should be on the acusation, not on the defence. What we need is proof that he did say it, not that he didn't. Else any rumour would become fact as long as there was no proof against it. But if you insist, here is a serious third party source that provides proof that Tommy Hilfiger didn't in fact make those comments. By the way: I dislike Tommy Hilfiger and his brand.--Daniel Medina 23:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Is this good enough proof for you? How about this? No? Try this! You gotta be KIDDING me.

 * Oh, and yeah - Tommmy sucks. People still wear his crap? PennyGWoods 07:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Urban legends? Trend micro? Some random website that looks like a spammers cersion of paradise? Nope. Not good enough proof.

If both parties negate that it ever happened it is virtually impossible to find proof that he did in fact say those things. But I know. I just wanted to audit what ppls opinion on him were.

Sfacets 14:47, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * A statement from Oprah's production team explicitly stating that Hilfiger has never even been a guest on the show isn't enough? Please.--RicardoC 00:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey, whaddaya know? A statement from Oprah herself:

 * "So I want to just set the record straight once and for all. The rumor claims that clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger came on this show and made racist remarks, and that I then kicked him out. I just want to say that is not true because it just never happened. Tommy Hilfiger has never appeared on this show. READ MY LIPS, TOMMY HILFIGER HAS NEVER APPEARED ON THIS SHOW. And all of [the] people who claim that they saw it, they heard it — it never happened. I've never even met Tommy Hilfiger."

 * So there you have it. If that doesn't convince you, then shine on, you crazy diamond.--RicardoC 00:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Despite it being false allegations, something about it should be put on the page (stating that it's false) simply because it was a widespread rumor and it would be good to list on this page that it was a hoax, especially with (as mentioned in other parts of discussion here) people having vandalized the page. 75.121.175.113 (talk) 08:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Imformation: Tommy Hilfiger is the designer and founder of Tommy Hilfiger Corporation.His real name is Thomas Jacob Hilfiger.

Perfumes and aftershaves
Why is there no information about Tommy aftershave and Tommy Girl perfume in this article? Gemfyre 15:17, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Can we get in some pictures of his fashions, with prices, and maybe a shopping cart? Tbonge (talk) 16:18, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Items removed from article
I've removed the link to flcrooks.com as it bears no connection with the article and appears to be merely an advertising link. --Vincentanton 01:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Poorly organised
This article is poorly organised and there are parts of the introduction that would clearly do better in a new section titled "History" or something like that. I would do this myself but I do not have the time right now so if someone else wants to get to it then go ahead. --PaladinWriter 12:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Tommy Hilfiger the human
Where is he? IMHO, the picture isn't exactly repersentative of the guy. Jackpot Den 19:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Irish?
Hilfiger hardly is an Irish name... maybe Catholic, maybe some Irish ancestry, but as far as I know Hilfiger is a Bavarian name (and Bavaria is - like Ireland - also predominantly Catholic). Wathiik

Robert Burns was Scottish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.235.63 (talk) 22:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

My guess is that he is half Irish and Half Bavarian or wherever the name Hilfiger comes from (not Ireland anyway). But then again.... Compare these: Superdude99 17:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

 * His father's family is from Bavaria. He said that, in an interview with German music channel VIVA. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.255.4.252 (talk) 16:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC).

 * His great-grandparents were from Switzerland. He said so in a 2009 interview by Swiss business magazine Bilanz. In it he also mentioned the place name Hilfikon in the canton of Argau as the source of his family's surname.  Joewein (talk) 09:27, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Kicking and screaming?
In the report of the encounter with Axl Rose, these same words are used in the Rose article, but the referenced Fox News article makes no mention that Hilfiger was kicking, screaming, or dragged away by his own security guards. Unless these actions can be verified, it appears some editor has bias against Hilfiger. MDonfield 02:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Tommy Hilfiger doesn't manufacture clothes
I was very surprised to find read that Tommy Hilfiger doesn't actually manufactor clothes, they merely use their label to market clothes manufactored by other companies. The wikipedia article says nothing about this and I feel that it is certainly relevant. I came across this information in my psychology textbook (Conducting Research in Psychology: Measuring the Weight of Smoke. By Pelham and Blanton, 2007. Pg 239). I then found this website going into further detail .
 * This information might be worthy of inclusion, but the link you found is from a dubious source. Anyone can make any claims they want in blogs and message boards, without any contraints such as research or fact-checking. Verifiable sources need to be found and cited.---Jackel 15:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, most fashion brands don't manufacture their products directly, other than the special pieces seen on the runway. The stuff one buys in stores is almost always farmed out to other manufacturers. This is a non-issue and no big deal. wikipediatrix 16:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Please note the 6th post from the top in the link I provided. It includes citations for his or her sources. I feel that a list of Tommy Hilfiger's different manufacturers for their product lines is certainly worthy of being in this encyclopedia article.

Vandalism
Someone has vandalized this page. To name an example they replaced his name with "Tammy Hilsfinger", as well as other things. I think that something should be done about this. I don't think that someone's opinion should be brought onto the page itself. If anyone can do anything about this, please do.

Myelin Sheeth 04:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

someone vandalised the bottom of this page, saying fuck you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.43.206 (talk) 23:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Odd numbers in the Axl Rose section
There is a stray [92] and [93] in the (exorbitantly large) section about Hilfiger's apparently altercation with Axl Rose. I assume these were brought into the article as a result of sloppy cut-and-paste "editing", from another source. Any ideas? Tom e rtalk 03:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Clever method of removing sweatshop "Criticisms" section
At 23:05 on 3 January 2008, 69.236.73.237 replaces the entire "Criticisms" section (dealing with Hilfiger's use of sweatshops, etc.) with the text "he is a racist ugly faggot with no life!"

This is quickly "reverted" (except it's not a reversion at all) at 23:39, 3 January 2008 by 86.130.8.33 (who has never done anything on Wikipedia before or since) who deletes the text- taking the whole criticism section with it.

Each individual edit looks OK. Nice.

Well now it's back. Hilfiger may not be a racist ugly faggot with no life (indeed I don't think he qualifies for _any_ of these ephitets) but he sure has acted as an exploiter of underpaid sweatshop workers -- Blorg (talk) 21:40, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Why no separation?
Why aren't there two articles? One for the man and one for the business. This article says nothing about the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation! 19:48, 3 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumaka (talk • contribs) QUIEN SERA ESTE MARICON DE TOMMY, QUE SE META SUS TRAPOS POR EL CULO, CULO ROTO, ME CAGO EN SU MADRE, HIJO DE PROSTITUTA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.208.148.11 (talk) 15:13, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There are two separate articles. Tommy Hilfiger Corporation Much of the material that is here should be in the other article.Richardson mcphillips (talk) 19:29, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Discrepancy with Axl Rose altercation
Axl Rose says Tommy Hilfiger slapped him in the arm several times after he moved Ocleppo's drink so it wouldn't spill at the Plumm and told Rose to move it back. Tommy Hilfiger says Axl Rose pushed him first. So..which is it? 68.201.38.107 (talk) 05:08, 27 March 2010 (UTC)mattaxeman

Libelous mail
I've added a mention of this email. It's relevant; the reason I looked at this article is that I received the email and wanted to check—Wikipedia should clarify this as a work of reference. Pol098 (talk) 23:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Receipt of stolen property

I'm a police officer and would suggest all to take a look at Juststolen.net, it's pretty amazing.

That struck me as odd
Although I can't say I'm surprised, per se: ''Also, in many states (Ohio, for example), the burden to prove criminal intent is not as stringent or is nonexistent. This means that one can be charged with the crime - usually a minor degree of felony - even if the person did not know the item in question was stolen.''. What's the reasoning behind this? Short-sightededness while writing the actual laws, or is this usually a conscious decision on the legislators' part in states like this? I knew a guy a few years ago who was almost nabbed in a sting operation, when undercover police offered him stereo equipment for a reasonable price (he got suspicious and declined midway during the negotiations); he later saw them an hour later arresting another person. That's even worse -- if undercover police are "selling" it, then is it really even stolen? --I am not good at running 17:37, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I added a link to an Ohio court decision (State v. Awad) where they ruled that even though the goods were not stolen, the undercover police officer said it was stolen, and that made it sufficient to convict. From the summary: Under R.C. 2913.51(B), it is not a defense to a charge of receiving stolen property that the property was not, in fact, stolen, but was used by police in a sting operation, when the property was explicitly represented to the accused as being stolen. In a prosecution for receiving stolen property in violation of R.C. 2913.51, the trial court reasonably could have found that an undercover officer’s use of the word "steal" was part of an explicit representation that the property in question was stolen. Tangurena (talk) 21:34, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I think the case is cited misleadingly in the article to seem to support the assertion that criminal intent is not necessary. First, the Ohio statute explicitly makes it a crime to receive property that you think is stolen, even if it isn't; second, the intent element is provided by the "knowingly" or "reason to believe" language. In Awad, the undercover agent used the word "steal" twice in explaining how he had the cigarrettes that he sold to Awad. SHJohnson (talk) 19:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I added the material on 'reset' as I came across what was to me an oddly worded passage on bbc news Without resetters, there would be no commercial stealing. The links to reset (scot law) were all red, so I had to do some digging myself just to find out it was the same thing as receiving stolen property, and probably "reset" is just the way that "receipt" was pronounced 200 some odd years ago.

Arimaspi

The Arimaspi (also Arimaspians, Arimaspos, and Arimaspoi; Ἀριμασπός, Ἀριμασποί) were a legendary tribe of one-eyed people of northern Scythia who lived in the foothills of the Riphean Mountains, variously identified with the Ural Mountains or the Carpathians. All tales of their struggles with the gold-guarding griffins in the Hyperborean lands near the cave of Boreas, the North Wind (Geskleithron), had their origin in a lost work by Aristeas, reported in Herodotus.

Legendary Arimaspi

The Arimaspi were described by Aristeas of Proconnesus in his lost archaic poem Arimaspea. Proconnesus is a small island in the Sea of Marmora near the mouth of the Black Sea, well situated for hearing travellers' tales of regions far north of the Black Sea. Aristeas narrates in the course of his poem that he was "wrapt in Bacchic fury" when he travelled to the north and saw the Arimaspians, as reported by Herodotus:

"This Aristeas, possessed by Phoibos, visited the Issedones; beyond these (he said) live the one-eyed Arimaspoi, beyond whom are the Grypes that guard gold, and beyond these again the Hyperboreoi, whose territory reaches to the sea. Except for the Hyperboreoi, all these nations (and first the Arimaspoi) are always at war with their neighbors."

Arimaspi and griffins were historical images associated with the outlands of the north: the Aeschylan Prometheus Bound (ca 415 BC?), describing the wanderings of Io, notes that she is not to pass through the north, among the Arimaspi and griffins, but southward. Herodotus, "Father of History", admits the fantastic allure of the edges of the known world: "The most outlying lands, though, as they enclose and wholly surround all the rest of the world, are likely to have those things which we think the finest and the rarest." (Histories iii.116.1) Ignoring the scepticism of Herodotus, Strabo and Pliny's Natural History perpetuated the stories about the northern people who had a single eye in the center of their foreheads and engaged in stealing gold from the griffins, causing disagreements between the two groups.

Historical Arimaspi
Modern historians speculate on historical identities that may be selectively extracted from the brief account of "Arimaspi". Herodotus recorded a detail recalled from Arimaspea that may have a core in fact: "the Issedones were pushed from their lands by the Arimaspoi, and the Scythians by the Issedones" (iv.13.1). The "sp" in the name suggests that it was mediated through Iranian sources to Greek, indeed in Early Iranian Arimaspi combines Ariama (love) and Aspa (horses). Herodotus or his source seems to have understood the Scythian word as a combination of the roots arima ("one") and spou ("eye") and to have created a mythic image to account for it. Similarity of name and location could identify them with the ancestors of the local Uralic people, the Mari.

It has been suggested that the griffins were inferred from the fossilized bones of Protoceratops.

The brief report of Herodotus seems to be very flimsy ground for making unequivocal statements about the historical background out of which the legend emerged. Notwithstanding these reservations, Tadeusz Sulimirski (1970) claims that the Arimaspi were a Sarmatian tribe originating in the upper valley of the River Irtysh, while Dmitry Machinsky (1997) associates them with a group of three-eyed ajna figurines from the Minusinsk Depression, traditionally attributed to the Afanasevo and Okunevo cultures of southern Siberia.

Mythological background
As philologists have noted, the struggle between the Arimaspi and the griffins has remarkable similarities to Homer's account of the Pygmaioi warring with cranes. Michael Rostovtzeff found a rendering of the subject in the Vault of Pygmies near Kerch, a territory that used to have a significant Scythian population. Analogous representations have been discovered as far apart as the Volci of Etruria and the fifth kurgan of Pazyryk. A Hellenistic literary rendering of a battle with uncanny guardian "birds of Ares" is in Argonautica 1.

Cheremisin and Zaporozhchenko (1999), following the methodology of Georges Dumézil, attempt to trace parallels in Germanic mythology (Odin and the mead of poetry, the eagle stealing golden apples of eternal youth). They hypothesize that all these stories, Germanic, Scythian, and Greek, reflect a Proto-Indo-European belief about the monsters guarding the entrance to the otherworld, who engage in battles with the birds conveying the souls of the newly dead to the otherworld and returning with a variety of precious gifts symbolizing new life.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-07-25/Britannica editorial board

The Encyclopædia Britannica made a response to the challenge it faces from Wikipedia last week, getting some publicity for its announcement of the formation of an editorial advisory board. This group of luminaries is supposed to help maintain Britannica's standards "while making sure it remains relevant to the way people use information today."

The announcement was the focus of a detailed article by Eric Ferkenhoff in the Boston Globe, "Venerable encylopedia seeks just the facts". Ferkenhoff painted the move as an effort to reassert authoritative sources of information "in an age when the Internet has loosened the definition of what is factual." The story was also covered more briefly in the Washington Times.

As reported by the Globe, the board "will meet twice a year to plot the direction for Britannica and fine-tune its editorial content". The idea of an advisory board is not new, but it had not been in operation at Britannica for over a decade. Wendy Doniger, the only holdover from the previous board, indicated that it last met in 1995, falling out of use shortly after the debut of Britannica's online edition.

Board composition
Although the board was announced with a press release on Thursday, the composition of the board has already been available on Britannica's website for some time. In fact, the Wikipedia biographies of a number of the board members were updated in June to reflect their participation.

Britannica billed the advisory board as comprising "fifteen of the world's leading scholars and intellectuals". Besides Doniger, the members of the new board include Rosalía Arteaga, David Baltimore, Benjamin M. Friedman, Leslie Gelb, Murray Gell-Mann, Vartan Gregorian, Zaha Hadid, James M. McPherson, Thomas Nagel, Donald Norman, Don Michael Randel, Amartya Sen, Wole Soyinka, and Lord Sutherland.

Wikipedia should perhaps be embarrassed that it does not have an article on Gelb at this writing (Update: a new article now exists), and that a number of the articles are nothing more than stubs. Then again, a search of Britannica's online edition revealed that it only contained articles for five of its own board members — Baltimore, Gell-Mann, Hadid, Sen, and Soyinka. They do, however, all have brief biographies available on the corporate information page about the editorial board.

Some observers wondered how much substantive improvement to Britannica's product would result from this new announcement. Jeremy Wagstaff noted that the Globe article quoted Jimmy Wales in addition to the Britannica's chief editor and some of the board members, but suggested that Britannica was allowed to "put a bit too much of their spin on the story." David Weinberger said, "It seems to be primarily a PR effort".

Simon Walton

Simon William Walton (born 13 September 1987) is an English footballer who most recently played as a midfielder for Havant & Waterlooville. He has played in the Football League for Leeds United, Ipswich Town, Cardiff City, Queens Park Rangers, Hull City, Plymouth Argyle, Blackpool, Crewe Alexandra, Stevenage, and Crawley Town. Walton was capped by England at under-16, under-17 and under-19 level.

Leeds United
Born in Sherburn-in-Elmet, Walton started his career at hometown club Leeds United. He came to attention after being sent off in a pre-season friendly against Valencia in 2004, whilst still just sixteen. He was likened to former Elland Road heroes Alan Smith and David Batty. He made his competitive debut on 7 August 2004 against Derby County, and went on to score three goals in the 2004–05 season, Leeds' first in the Championship. Walton struggled to break into the first team during the 2005–06 season with his only appearances coming after injuries to Sean Gregan, Shaun Derry, Jonathan Douglas and Gylfi Einarsson.

Charlton Athletic
In July 2006 he joined Premier League side Charlton Athletic for an initial fee of £500,000, with clauses that could create a total £1m fee. He quickly moved on loan to get some regular first-team football, moving to Ipswich Town three games into the Championship season on 18 August 2006. Walton scored several important goals for Ipswich before being loaned to another Championship side, Cardiff City, in January 2007. When playing for Cardiff, he was sent off against former club Leeds for two bookable offences.

Queens Park Rangers
Walton joined Championship side Queens Park Rangers on 27 July 2007 in a £200,000 deal, having never played a competitive game for Charlton. Shortly afterwards, he broke his leg in a friendly against Fulham.

On 29 January 2008 Walton moved to Championship play-off hopefuls Hull City on loan for the remainder of the 2007–08 season.

Plymouth Argyle
On 6 August 2008, Walton signed for Plymouth Argyle on a four-year contract. Originally proclaimed as a club record signing at £750,000, the initial fee paid was well below the £500,000 paid to Cardiff City for Steve MacLean and never surpassed it prior to the club being placed in administration in March 2011. Walton made his debut for Plymouth in a 2–2 draw with Wolves on 9 August.

On 22 December 2008 Walton was placed on the transfer list by Paul Sturrock after being sent off in a league match against Barnsley. Sturrock questioned Walton's attitude and temperament after some abject performances, and rash decisions by the player. On 26 March 2009 he joined Blackpool on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut on 11 April as a 74th-minute substitute in Blackpool's 1–0 West Lancashire Derby win over Preston North End at Deepdale.

On 31 August 2009 he joined Crewe Alexandra on loan for the 2009–10 season.

Walton joined Sheffield United on a season-long loan in July 2010. However, he suffered cruciate knee ligament damage during his first outing for the club in a pre-season friendly which proved to be a long-term injury. Following a recovery period at Bramall Lane his parent club, Plymouth Argyle, agreed to terminate his loan and recall him at the start of September. On 5 April 2011, Walton made his first appearance for nine months, and his first for Argyle since 2008, against Leyton Orient. Walton scored his first goal in the match against MK Dons on 25 April 2011. After the club appointed Carl Fletcher as caretaker manager the captaincy was handed to Walton who has become one of the senior players in the young squad. Walton has subsequently scored several goals, some as penalties, including a brace against Burton Albion on 14 January 2012.

Walton had his contract extended until the end of the 2012–13 season in April 2012. Manager Carl Fletcher revealed that Walton had agreed a new deal the previous autumn when the club was in the process of being bought by businessman James Brent. "He signed a new deal during the takeover to benefit the club," said Fletcher in an interview with BBC Radio Devon. "He agreed terms on a deal when the club was being taken over to help and aid the club in getting it out of administration."

Hartlepool United
Walton was released by Plymouth in July 2012 so he could be closer to his daughter, and signed for Hartlepool United on 6 July.

Stevenage
Walton signed for Stevenage on 30 June 2014 on a free transfer.

Crawley Town
Walton signed for Crawley Town on 18 June 2015 on a free transfer on a two-year deal.

Maidstone United
On 12 October 2018, Walton joined Maidstone United permanently after a short-term loan. At the end of December 2018, Tristan Lewis was appointed caretaker manager, with Walton as his assistant.

Havant & Waterlooville
On 11 May 2019, Havant & Waterlooville announced that Walton had joined the club as a player / coach.

Personal life
Walton began dating Nicola Tappenden, a glamour model, in 2007 and they went on to be engaged. He became a father in November 2008 when Tappenden gave birth to a baby girl named Poppy. His younger sister, Sophie, represented England at youth international level, and has played in the Women's Premier League and Women's Super League. Both Simon and Sophie studied at Boston Spa Academy during their time as Leeds United Academy scholars.

Socket (video game)

Socket is a platformer developed and published by Vic Tokai for the Sega Genesis. Players control the android duck Socket in his efforts to stop the Time Dominator from stealing treasures from the past and messing with the flow of time.

Gameplay
Socket is a 2D side-scrolling platformer with speed-based gameplay similar to entries in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. At the start of a level, Socket, whose tail doubles as an extension cord, charges up with electricity, giving him the energy to move fast. Socket has an health bar, which slowly drains over time and causes death if it fully depletes. Collecting small lightning bolts scattered across levels keep him alive and moving, allowing for progression through levels. A kicking move serves as a means to attack and defeat enemies which attempt to impede his progress.

The game has seven overarching levels that are divided into three different segments: Highspeed Areas, Athletic Areas, and Labyrinth Areas. Highspeed Areas are the fast-paced levels that encourage a constant flow of speed. Athletic Areas focus more on precise platforming gameplay. Labyrinth Areas are more exploration-based, focusing on searching for an exit for a level. The completion of each set of levels culminates in a boss fight.

Plot
In the year 2902, the game's antagonist, the Time Dominator, creates a time machine with the intention of traveling back in time to steal treasures and artifacts. An entity tasked with watching over such disruptions, the Time Wrap Patrol, sends Socket to fix the flow of time and stop the Time Dominator.

Reception
The game was criticized for too closely resembling Sonic the Hedgehog. However, Diehard GameFan ' s reviewers gave Socket scores around 85% and praised its gameplay, graphics, and music.

I find it odd that there's absolutely no discussion as to what the CAUSE of the Cold War was. 69.138.24.96 20:32, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Pseudoprotection
Many recent edits by anonymous users have consisted of wholesale blanking of entire sections. In certain cases the information being deleted deals with actual historic events; in other instances, reference is taken from other articles in Wikipedia. Suggest the article be submitted for dispute resolution if further such editing continues.--Pkuchinski 21:23, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Is it really a good idea to use an actual pseudoprotection template here? That policy was rejected.  Also, not all the editors were anonymous. -- Wisq 21:41, 2005 May 24 (UTC)

Hey i just found out about Wikis and i have to say im very impressed that 250,000 people can work in harmony, but to the point i just registered AFTER i did an addition to the cold war page, under the arms race (last paragraph, rather long but i like it), if i need backup evidence for that just tell me, thanks - Ayaines 03:26 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Sides of the Cold War
The Cold War featured more then just the Eastern and Western blocs. Arguably the wars between the Arab world and Israel were part of it. Neither Vietnam nor China fit in the Eastern Bloc (usually defined as either Comecon or Warsaw Pact). Not to mention the US-supported Taliban during the Soviet invasion of Afganistan. The Taliban is not at all ideologically aligned with the USA, certainly not with the Western Bloc, nonethless, were part of the armed camps of the Cold War.

I think the sides of the Cold War shouldn't be a simplistic "east VS west" but rather something like "The enduring struggle remained throughout the Cold War between the United States and its NATO allies VS the Soviet Union and the members of the Warsaw Pact. However, at varying times different states and organisations (usually revolutionary) would join, out of ideology or pragmatism, one side or the other. The more loosely aligned states and organisations were often the direct participants in "hot" conflicts of the Cold War and examples include Communist China, Vietnam, Nasser's Egypt and the Taliban." --CJWilly 21:50, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * The Cold War featured more then just the Eastern and Western blocs. The last two articles in the series probably do more than enough to make abundantly clear the roles of the emerging nations in the Cold War. (In some places North/South tensions even get more attention than East/West tensions... At any rate, the function of the main article is only to introduce the subject in the broadest terms, so starting off with a discussion of the East/West conflict is fine. 172 22:02, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I second thought, I saw the need to add a note on how the Cold War eventually gave way to a more complicated pattern of international relations in which the world was no longer clearly split into two clearly opposed blocs in this article. I added a new paragraph in the "characteristics" section. 172 22:15, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * BTW - the US never supported the Taliban, they did not exist during that time in history. We did support mujahideen (spelling?) fighters who were fighting against the Soviets, some of which later became the Taliban. Get your facts straight. --66.82.9.61 00:58, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The US did support the Taliban allright. They might not have that time at the time, but it was the very same group of people, ideals and politics. If I get a loan at a bank and change my name afterwards, Im still the one owns some money to the bank. The US did that because it was convinient for them, at the time, to support groups that would oppose, hinder or demoralize Soviet troops on the globe, as it is convinient, as of today, to call them all terrorists and sentencing them all to death as an excuse to invade Iraq and Afghanistan to have a better grasp of 80%+ of the worlds oil production.LtDoc 03:30, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Exceptionalism?
I just finished copy-editing this and meanwhile someone removed it:

The Role of American Exceptionalism in the Cold War
Historians have given many interpretations to the cause of the Cold War. Most center upon the faults and crimes of the Soviet Union and its socialist ideology. There is no doubt that these played a large and crucial part in the Cold War. However, the faults of the United States are often overlooked. Many, if not all, of these faults can be attributed to American Exceptionalism throughout the Cold War.

 * Many, if not all, of these faults can be attributed to American Exceptionalism throughout the Cold War.

 * What we have here is inherently a personal essay and original research, arguing the thesis above, and certainly one that many users will dispute. We already touch upon what is argued in this essay in the historiography section, but in a more nuanced and balanced way. 172 07:13, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The idea of American Exceptionalism is a central theme in the Cold War and throughout American history. American Exceptionalism can be traced throughout American history, beginning with Perry Miller’s view of the Puritan vision of a "city upon a hill." This ideology is described by Siobhan McEvoy-Levy as the American belief in its own United States foreign policy has roots that can be traced back to this ideology.

A large part of this ideology is the American mission. The idea is that, being the most wealthiest, advanced, and moral nation, the United States has a responsibility to the rest of the world. Additionally, it is felt that the United States gains justification for this mission from God, because of their morality, and reason, because of their wealth. This idea grew and evolved with the country. As the United States’ power and influence grew, so did its Exceptionalism and its need to spread its ideals to the world, remaking it as itself. the cold war is like GAY.

Lloyd C. Gardner asserts that American Exceptionalism was at root of the United States’ policy-makers decision making during the Cold War. Gardener goes on to say that the true threat of the Soviet Union was that its ideologies appeared attractive to the peoples of Europe. What if the world chose the Soviet, socialist path? The United States had to protect the world from making this "mistake". America’s Cold War crusade, McEvoy-Levy says, was legitimized by its Exceptionalism. The United States’ aggression throughout the world could then be rationalized, even held in high esteem. The United States wasn’t expanding its empire; it was enlightening the world with the American dream and the ideals upon which that is built.

The interaction with Third World countries was not seen as exploitation, but helpful influence. The Cold War, or something like it, was seen as inevitable. However, it can be argued that it did not need to reach the extent that it did. Some feel that most of the blame for the length of the Cold War should fall on the United States—that because of American Exceptionalism, the US exaggerated the Soviet Unions threat and unreasonably dragged out the Cold War.

Despite the merit of many of these arguments, the fact remains that Communism failed the USSR despite what could have been advantages. For example, the command economy which allowed such feats of armament also deprived the people of their basic needs, going against the stated principals of Communism; that it is for the people. Both Communism and Capitalism can be seen to be corrupt, however those who believe in Capitalism and Democracy would point out that at least there is some form of oversight to prevent the corruption from going to the core—at the very least, the fear of those in power of losing their power. These very same fears in a Communist regime drive those in power to consolidate their power, at the expense of rather than assisting in effective governing. Perhaps the greatest failure of Communism is the dichotomy between the words and the deeds. How many of the Peoples' countries are truly looking out for their people?

The work above is as clear an example of a personal essay/original research as anything can possibly be. It will be subject to immediate removal. 172 22:55, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I just read the article, and I must say, I'm disappointed. This is an example of liberal bias. In the section "Exceptionalism", there is a sentence "Much, if not all, of United States foreign policy has roots that can be traced back to this ideology." Whoever made that remark needs to back it up with proof, not the opinions of a single liberal historian. Also, where is the mention of Stalin's speechs, where he basically says that global communism can never succeed until capitalism has been destroyed? This article is an attempt at making America and the USSR equally responsible for the Cold War. What a crock of shit. Is there any mention of Kruschev's (spelling?) "we will bury you" comments? What about the Cuban missile crises? Too much space is dedicated to showing how historians disagree about the cold war, and not enough is dedicated to the major events of the cold war. This article is a disappointment and needs to be fixed. Liberal bias belongs in America's public school system, not in wikipedia.

Why isnt the causes of the USSR's downfall listed?

Let me guess, if a person comes into your home and tries to kill you, they are not evil, just of a different opinion, an opinon I should respect, right?

This article is an example of why wikipedia will never make it in education, in its current form.
 * I agree with you. However, the section on "American exceptionalism" is not an established part of the article. It is just a section that has been added by a newbie/anon over the past couple of days that I keep removing... Don't worry. I will keep removing it. 172 23:29, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"Why isnt the causes"? What has killing an intruder got to do with the Cold War? What is wrong with liberalism per se has a long tradition - and how historians interprete events is part of the issue.

As for complaining about certain areas not being covered - write them.

Is 172 too blind to realize that historians rewrite the history as their ideals see fit? Isnt obvious to anyone that the current superpower in the world today would see fit (and meta analazying, "rightful" and "natural" to do) that history to be written as would best suit and justify USAs view on the world? The "I´ll keep removing it" sounds amazingly like a Borg collective to me.LtDoc

Spain
I deleted the following because there was no supporting evidence. Could somebody verify it and put it back if they can prove it? The term Cold War has origins in Spain in the 1490s, when the word was coined by a Spanish monk to describe the state of affairs between the recently defeated Moors and (Christian) Spanish populations.. RickK 21:01, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

There seems to be confusion over when the term was first used. In the beginning section of the article, it says it was first used in 1947. At the bottom, it says Orwell coined it in '45. And above is talk of it all the way back in the 15th century. Trull

 * In fact it seems that the term has first been invented by Orwell in 1945 and then popularized by Bernard Baruch and Walter Lippmann in 1947, as this site state. Nova77 12:51, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Orwell only got major recognition for that until well after he became much better known than he was in 1945. He just happened to use the term first. Even so, I'm not interested in a fight and I'll modify my additions accordingly. NEW WORLD ORDER 13:34, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Spanish Civil War
"It should be noted that some historians place the beginning of the Cold War as far back as 1937, when Joseph Stalin attempted to gain control of Spain"

Sounds really bizarre. First, the Spanish Civil War started in 1936; secondly, Stalin measured his support to the loyalist Republicans, since he did not want to upset his relations with Germany and Italy in the context of the non-agression pact. Stating, as a fact, that "Joseph Stalin attempted to gain control of Spain", is really bold. Rama 09:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Reference is The Fifty Year War: Conflict and Strategy in the Cold War by Dr. Norman Friedman.--Pkuchinski 15:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I know that that book warms the hearts of Reaganites and right-wing bloggers, and at times he is criticized for ascribing Soviet behavior too much on the imperatives of their 'expansionist' ideology. Even so, he is a serious scholar, and, stated like that, I doubt that the paraphrasing is carefully done. It seems like an over-simplified extrapolation of his argument rather than his argument. Further, even if you can substantiate your take on his work, Friedman should be passed on in favor of other authorities when it comes to this subject. His book is recognized as a standard military account, not anything near a major contribution to our understand of the origins of the Cold War. If the intro is going to cite anyone's periodiziation, someone like (say) Gaddis or LaFeber would be appropriate. 172 20:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

US, Soviet Flags and NATO/Warsaw Pact Map
Should we keep those items in the article in some way? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 13:05, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * No. The U.S. and the USSR were not the only actors in the Cold War. Memberships in NATO and the Warsaw Pact varied over time, which cannot be taken into account in a single map. Further, it's not that Europe was the only arena of the Cold War. 172 13:41, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Not to mention that putting them directly above the map suggested that the U.S. controlled the majority of Europe. :) I was considering suggesting the U.S. flag be replaced by the NATO flag, but that's moot now. -- Wisq 13:45, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
 * And, to be NPOV, we have to have the flag of the Warsaw Pact. And personally, I do not think there is one that was used. I see your idea now, and I will drop the idea. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 13:49, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I am a high school teacher that uses Wikipedia frequently, and I've made a few contributions to it -- both on this article and on The Day After, since I teach the Cold War and it is, honestly, one of my favorite parts of history. I agree that the *map* of Cold War Europe is misleading, but at the very least, shouldn't the flags of the United States and the Soviet Union remain? Although the Cold War was *technically* between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, in the minds of many historians, it was between the USA and USSR.
 * I have in common with you, having been a contributor to Wikipedia until a couple of months ago and having taught courses on the Cold War... I agree with you that including the flags of the U.S. and USSR would make more sense; they were, of course, the principal actors in the conflict. But the problem is that they were not the only actors. Including the flags of the U.S. and the USSR, and only the U.S. and the USSR, suggests that the article is just looking at the Cold War as the East and West conflict. But this makes little sense after the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the bipolar world order of the immediate postwar period gave way to a much more complicated pattern of international relations, with (1) the Sino-Soviet Split, (2) detente, and (3) East/West competition giving way more and more to North/South competition. 172 09:01, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

If I (or anyone) were to locate the flags/seals of NATO and Warsaw Pact, couldn't they be added *along with* the American and Soviet flags?
 * There is no proof that the Warsaw Pact had a seal or flag. Plus, other nations involved in the Cold War belonged to neither pact (the Koreas, Vietnam, African nations, Latin America nations). Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:56, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"The sixteen known nuclear crises of the Cold War"
This section is an equally obvious candidate for immediate removal. The list is generated by a relatively little-know advocacy group (Veterans Against Nuclear Arms), and not any established scholarship whatsoever. 172 20:25, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * So what kind of crises can we use to put on the article that we can double check and make sure it is credible. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 22:40, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * These are all actual historic events-if the objection centers around the source (Veterans Against Nuclear Arms) and there being associated with that a particular POV, then removing the reference line should end the dispute in this regard.--Lordkinbote 23:05, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * If we find something that comes from someone legit, then we should have no problem. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 23:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Lordkinbote, removing the reference line does not end the dispute. The process by the list is generated makes it more about the advocacy group than the Cold War. (How do you know that they define "nuclear crises" in a way consident with standard scholarship? What is their understanding of under what conditions this concept of theirs is applicable? Is this consistent with general scholarship? What is their process for matching their observations to thier categeory? Is this consistent with general scholarship?) Lists might seem like they are 'objective' and 'matter-of-fact,' even when they are genenerated by activists, by non-experts. But the process by which they are generated determines the results. Adding this section would be just as much of a problem as allowing someone to post a personal essay in an article. 172 02:44, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Justification for changes in Cold War: 1953-1962
Looking at the original contents in the 1953-1962 made me feel like I was reading an article by Fidel Castro. The article starts out good with factual statements on leadership and MAD. Then when it comes to the Third World it takes an ugly turn by implying America mistook nationalism for communism--on purpose. The article repeatedly said the Soviets had no interest in affairs outside of their Eastern bloc. This is POV bullshit. The Soviets gave weapons, supplies, propaganda, money, and established bases all over the world. Every communist party in the world was subordinated to the Soviet communist party. But apparently the revisionist view is "realist". Then we come to Dulles. The article claims him to be a misguided fool who was "laughed at". Well, many people laugh at Saddam Hussein's propaganda, but I don't see that in Wikipedia. Going on it says Dulles changed the facts to suite his needs by calling Mao a "Communist" rather than "agrarian reformer" as earlier. Whats wrong with that? Mao was an agrarian reformer, he just did it the communist way. The article then says Dulles exaggerated by saying communism wanted to take over the Eurasian landmass. Again, there is nothing wrong with that statement. Does anyone seriously believe that the Berlin crises, Korean War, Indochina War, the invasion of Afghanistan, the Malayan insurgency, the Taiwan Strait crisis, the Turkish crisis, and the Marxist/Leninist STATED GOAL of world wide revolution against capitalism a COINCIDENCE?!? I am all for both sides on this, but to imply one side is right and the other side is wrong is insane. Then we come to the 1953 coup in Iran. According to the article the evil American imperialists ousted a heroic figure for no other reason than to steal oil from the Iranian children. No consideration is given to the American arguement that Iran was in danger of falling under communism. Mossadiq, I believe, was indeed a nationalist and not a communist. However, much of his support was drawn from the Tudeh, Iranian communist party. Who in turn drew their support from the Soviets. Indeed by 1953 the Tudeh was THE strongest communist party in the entire Middle East. And by then they had taken to denounce Mossadiq himself as an American puppet. Given what happened in Czechoslovakia where a neutralist government had been ousted by the communists in 1947, a coup was really not unlikely particularly considering that Iran was contiguous to the Soviet Union. Again communism would have seized power if it could, and in Iran it would be disastrous. Pretty much the same thing applies to Latin America. The U.S. supported violent human rights abusers in order to ensure equally bad (in economic terms) Marxist governments did not take power. When America saw that the Guatamalan government was leftist and accepted Eastern bloc aid, it got rid of it. We could not choose the "nice" way to solve the problem because few options were available. What I mean is that we did not really condone human rights abuses in governments we supported, simply their anti-communism. The Soviets were eager to gain a foothold in the Western Hemisphere (as would be demonstrated in Cuba), and that would be a disaster for the "containment" policy. So while they were not the "root" of the problem they helped plant the seeds and ensure its growth. Amazingly, no one had anything about the Hungarian revolution in the beginning, just some repetitive statements how America imagined the Cold War and the Soviets were weak even though they supported a huge army in Eastern Europe and had the largest regional nuclear stockpile in the world. To conclude, I'm not asking that everyone except my POV, just that it would be more NPOV to have the other side of the story in the article. --User:24.210.183.105 26 June 2005

Agree
I agree with the previous post. Virtually all of Africa adopted Marxist/socialist/protectionist economic and social policies after their independence. Soviets, East Germans, Cubans, Palestinian terrorists, North Koreans, Japanese Red Army etc. sent troops and material and economic aid all over the world. Looking at Cuba, can one honestly say there was no Soviet penetration? Please. I'm generally against American interventionism, seeing as how it does more harm than good, but that doesn't mean the Soviets were peace-loving. Also the idea that the USSR had no poverty is laughable: EVERYONE was poor in the Soviet Union, that's what socialism does, let's look at modern-day Cuba again (the real Cuba, not the fantasy version). The Cold War wasn't a simple matter of good vs. evil or USSR vs. USA, certainly, but trying to be "cool" or whatever and make the US the "bad guys" all the time is ridiculous.

Jolene Unsoeld

Jolene Bishoprick Unsoeld (December 3, 1931 – November 28, 2021) was an American politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1989 to 1995. A Democrat, Unsoeld represented Washington's 3rd congressional district in Congress, where she developed a reputation as a supporter of environmentalist and feminist causes.

Early life
Unsoeld was born Jolene Bishoprick in Corvallis, Oregon, on December 3, 1931, the daughter of Cora (Trapman) and Stanley Bishoprick, who was in the timber business.

She attended Oregon State University from 1949 to 1951. In 1951, she married Willi Unsoeld, a mountaineer and later college professor; they had four children. Accompanying Willi to the Himalayas, she spent two years as director of an English-language education program for local residents in Kathmandu, Nepal in the early 1960s.

Washington state politics
Unsoeld spent the 1970s and early 1980s as a citizen lobbyist in support of open government, including open public meetings and open public records. Her efforts led to the passing of Initiative 276 in 1972, and consequently the establishment of the Washington Public Disclosure Commission, and required disclosure of campaign contributions by candidates for elective office. In 1977 she and Willi became concerned about proposed nuclear power plants, and joined in forming Fair Electric Rates Now (FERN), which was a ratepayer and environmental group that worked for many years opposing utility investment in nuclear energy, encouraging investment in energy conservation, and supporting utility rate design that rewarded consumers who used less power. In 1984, she ran for the office of state representative, and served two terms in the Washington State Legislature prior to running for Congress in 1988. While EMILY's List described her as "the conscience" of the state legislature, she described herself as a "citizen meddler".

1988 election
After Representative Don Bonker of the 3rd district decided to run for Senate in 1988, Unsoeld ran for the open seat to replace him. Unsoeld faced moderate Clark County Commissioner John McKibbin in the primary, who depicted Unsoeld as too liberal for the district. In the general election, Unsoeld narrowly defeated her Republican opponent by just 618 votes out of more than 218,000 votes cast.

Due to the close margin, Unsoeld's victory was only affirmed after a recount, five weeks after election day. Unsoeld's campaign was endorsed by EMILY's List, in what was described as one of the organization's early victories.

Tenure and 1994 defeat
Upon taking office, Unsoeld's first action was signing onto a gay-rights bill. During her three terms in Congress, she worked hardest on the federal Freedom of Information Act, but she became best known for her opposition to gun control despite being very liberal on other issues. Unsoeld opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement, arguing that it was insufficient in protecting the labor rights of both Mexican and American workers:"A NAFTA that fails to reverse Mexico's policy of menial wages and fails to bolster Mexican labor rights is bad news for their workers and bad news for our workers."Notably, Unsoeld opposed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, generally referred to as the "1994 Crime Bill". She lost her bid for re-election in the Republican Revolution of 1994 to Linda Smith, in what was described as a "surprise" victory for her opponent. The 1994 campaign was noted for being unusually contentious, with Smith going as far as to suggest that Unsoeld's conservative father supported her campaign over his daughter's.

Later life and death
After leaving Congress, Unsoeld taught as a fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics in the John F. Kennedy School of Government in the Fall of 1995. After teaching, she returned to Washington state and in October 1995 was appointed by Governor Mike Lowry to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission. She was reappointed in 1997 by Governor Gary Locke, however in February 1998 the State Senate refused to confirm her renomination after she argued that more restrictions on fishing were necessary to restore salmon runs.

In 2008, in recognition of her efforts to advance government transparency, the Washington Coalition for Open Government bestowed the James Madison Award on Unsoeld.

Unsoeld died in Olympia, Washington, on November 28, 2021, five days before her 90th birthday.

Is KCBS really "the West Coast flagship radio station of CBS," or is KNX? --Hillrhpc 04:13, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * While KNX is the CBS station in the larger LA market, KCBS does have the corporate name in its call letters, usually a good sign of what they consider the flagship. Of course, KCBS has been owned by CBS longer, so that's probably why SF, not LA, has the KCBS name.--oknazevad 01:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the bad part:having a radio station that shares the same frequency as KCBS(AM), but at least while the Catalina Island fire was going on, KBRT was off the air for two days, and I was able to hear the morning traffic repoerts until almost 9:00 am...Baldwin91006 02:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

United States Naval Academy Cemetery

The United States Naval Academy Cemetery and Columbarium is a cemetery at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

History
In 1868 the Naval Academy purchased a 67-acre piece of land called Strawberry Hill as part of their efforts to expand after the American Civil War. Within a year of its acquisition part of the property became the cemetery. Since its beginning the cemetery has become the final resting place for Medal of Honor recipients, Superintendents of the Naval Academy, Midshipmen, and former employees of the Academy and hundreds more of the nation's veterans.

The cemetery is also home to monuments that do not mark remains, but commemorate the heroism of individuals who gave their life in service to their country. The Jeannette Monument, erected in 1890, is the most notable such monument. It was built in memory of the men who lost their lives in the Jeannette Arctic Expedition.

Columbarium
In 1987, the Naval Academy constructed a columbarium adjacent to the cemetery on College Creek. The columbarium was built by the Naval Academy Alumni Association and principally sponsored by the Class of 1959 with $500,000 in gifts from alumni and friends of the Academy. This included a major grant from the George and Carol Olmsted Foundation in memory of Jerauld L. Olmsted, Class of 1922. The columbarium offers resting places for Graduates who wish to be inurned at the Naval Academy.

The columbarium is approximately 160 feet long and six feet high on a three-tiered pedestal. All exterior surfaces are white marble. Each niche front is removable by a special key. Niches are assigned in consecutive order and cannot be reserved in advance.

In front of the columbarium stands a memorial donated by the Class of 1937 in honor of the academy graduates who died in the line of duty and whose bodies were never recovered.
