Talk:Subitizing

Pronunciation
Hi. At a recent conference, I had a discussion about how to correctly pronounce the word 'subitize'. Is it 'soobitize' or 'subitize' (as in 'subtract')?--Jo-Anne LeFevre 01:48, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Its 'soobitize' as far as I know patrickw

 * I am American and have only heard "soobitize" (IPA:/'subɪtaɪz/). But I notice that all British sources I have found on the Internet say "subbitize" /'sʌbɪtaɪz/. --seberle (talk) 05:01, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Subitizing

 * I'm not sure why this article is titled "Subitizing and counting". It seems to be exclusively about subitizing.  Rename?  70.247.160.102 (talk) 06:11, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Move?

Sounds good to me. This article is about subitizing, and discusses counting only for contrast. — Gavia immer (talk) 18:09, 4 July 2010 (UTC) billinghurst  sDrewth  05:05, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Educational applications Section
The whole chapter is quite bad. It used to be called Mathematical Applications. Maybe it should simply be called Applications?

My attention was first drawn to the chapter because it claims that "Some practitioners claim that with training, children are capable of subitizing 15+ objects correctly" and that claim is backed up by a link to a single commercial early education service. Furthermore the backing for the claim was not instantly obvious at the linked site. And in any case its quite bold to claim that more than one practitioners are of an opinion based on one example. In my opinion we either site more and better examples or remove the claim.

--Juhoeemeli (talk) 07:30, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

The educational use of subitizing training in dyslectic children has been thoroughly studied scientifically by the group of the late Prof. Burkhart Fischer in Freiburg. That should be added sometime. Strasburger (talk) 10:59, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Chimps, bonobos and other aniimals
I saw a documentary film on counting abilities in animals (possibly on PBS - Nova perhaps?) and it showed how quickly chimps and bonobos could count objects. While humans are good at up to 5 or so objects, these animals were faster than humans when 6-10 objects were presented. I wonder if a section on animal abilities would be right for this article?99.245.230.104 (talk) 19:12, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * It came on my mind too. Extermely enhanced subitizing abilities of some savants should be mentioned as well. —Mykhal (talk) 09:01, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

"Numbers 1-10" image inexplicably in "Enumerating Afterimages" section
There is currently an image labeled "numbers 1-10" in the "Enumerating afterimages" section. This image is interesting but I cannot tell what the significance of it is and it certainly does not seem to be related to the enumeration of afterimages. What is the intention of this image and is there a better place for it in the article / something that can be said about it? I am tempted to remove it, but it *is* a good illustration of dividing large sets into subitizable groups even though it's out of context there. --24.185.86.218 (talk) 14:39, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I have moved this image into the main section from the "Enumerating afterimages" section. It's a bit awkward in terms of formatting but at least it's not in the wrong place any more. --24.185.86.218 (talk) 01:30, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Given that the lede already has an image of dividing ten stars into four groups, this 1-10 image seems redundant. I've cut it. I can't see that the article actually says anything about dividing large sets into subitizable groups, though? --McGeddon (talk) 11:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Mathematical logic category?
I am puzzled to see that this article is included in the category "Mathematical logic". Mathematical logic is a rather abstruse field concerned with hierarchies of sets, infinite cardinals, consistency strengths and the like, not such lowly things as counting a handful of objects. But perhaps there's a connection I'm missing. 209.179.87.11 (talk) 06:13, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

The claim that toddlers can subitize to 100
I read Doman's 1982 "Teach Your Baby Math" where he claimed https://books.google.com/books?id=3nLsDYOi-rsC&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=dots that a toddler could distinguish (subitize) 38 dots from 39, and 91 from 92, without counting, up to 100.

The "Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential" BrillKids' 2008 book makes the same claim http://www.brillkids.com/media/ebooks/ebook-teaching-your-baby-math.pdf "When a very young child looks at a large number of items, she doesn’t need to guess or count to see how many are there. The child can instantly see 48 marbles, in just the same way that the rest of us can instantly see 4- by subitizing. ... Once the child has a foundation in quantity (having learned up to at least the number 20), you can begin equations using those quantities (while continuing to teach up to 100)." BUT then they claim, "The ability to subitize large quantities will typically fade away as a child grows older... children retain the ability to perceive large quantities at least up to the age of two and a half."

From reading Doman's 1982 book decades ago, and now using Google Books to search, I don't think he indicated that the children lose this alleged ability.

Question: Is this "Infant Subitizing" worth a subsection under Educational_applications (with criticism) or perhaps in a new section titled Controversies? Bob Enyart, Denver KGOV radio host (talk) 17:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Terms
I think we need to be careful in the opening with our terms. Currently the third sentence in the lead paragraph is the following:
 * Number judgments for larger set-sizes are referred to either as counting if sufficient time is available or as estimating if it is not.

This sentence has gone through several edits recently, including one half-hearted edit of my own which wasn't very good. None of them are very satisfactory. I think we should simply delete this sentence. It is more confusing than helpful.

To be clear: Subitizing is a psychological phenomenon whereby one apprehends at once the number of items. It is almost always used for small numbers of items. Counting generally refers to a complex skill, typically learned at a young age, where one establishes a bijection between the items in a set and the counting numbers. One can count both small and large sets; we are not obligated to subitize small sets.

There is a related skill of estimation whereby an approximate number is assigned to a set without counting. Last I checked (correct me if some recent research has been done), most research indicated that estimation and subitizing are probably two distinct skills.

Currently the third sentence implies that one does not "count" small sets, and perhaps even that the terminology depends on the amount of time available. Estimation is, of course, faster than counting. But someone might choose to estimate even if time is available. The action is not defined by the time available, but rather by the procedure used.

If we wanted to salvage the last sentence, we need to be clear that there are three known methods of quantifying a set (subitizing, counting, estimation) and that these are defined by the distinct method used. (They are not defined by the time available, and only partially by the size of the set).

But I recommend we simply delete the third sentence. Such details can be discussed elsewhere in the article. --seberle (talk) 08:01, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Since the sentence is unsourced anyway, I would agree it is a good idea to remove it. Strasburger (talk) 08:49, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * For the record: I changed "time available" to "mental effort invested" -- without having seens this discussion. I think the statement is true, as such, or at least closer to being true now, but yes, it is still unsourced. I referred to Thinking, Fast and Slow in my edit summary, but I don't think Daniel Kahneman actually mentions subitizing (the word is not in the index).--Nø (talk) 09:13, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm. That's better, for sure. But it is still not completely accurate. Subitizing is easier, yes. But it's really the method used that defines what subitizing is, not the effort. The method is often inferred in clinicial trials by the amount of time the person takes. But that doesn't mean subitizing is defined by time or effort. If I have time, I'll try to come up with something more accurate. --seberle (talk) 01:39, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Dominos, and fixed patterns
The section "Other applications" says:
 * Dice, playing cards and other gaming devices traditionally split quantities into subitizable groups with recognizable patterns.

Apart from possibly adding dominos to the list of games, I'd like to say that I think using recognizable patterns invokes a different mental mechanism from what is in general called subitizing. It's pattern recognition, which unlike subitizing dependents heavily on the arrangement of the elements. Introspectively, for me, the "five" (a quincunx) and "six" on a die, the "nine" on double-nine dominos, and a pattern of 7 dots in a regular hexagon with one dot in the centre, are clear examples of this. They are recognized (and associated with a number) much more easily than objects in a random arrangement, and I doubt it is by the same mechanism. The actual splitting into subitizable groups referred to in in the quoted sentence is irrelevant; the only clear example of this I can readily find among the games listed is the "seven" of playing cards, arranged with a quincunx and a pair. Perhaps, in a larger domino set, e.g. "twelve" as a 3x4 rectangular arrangement may be perceived as subitizable numbers of rows and columns, combined with the learned knowledge of the product 3x4. But, by and large, I think we are outside the domain of subitizing here - not (merely) because the numbers of elements is too large, but because a different mental mechanism, much more dependent on training, is involved.--Nø (talk) 08:20, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Five items can be subitised?
I'd like to contest that subitising only works to four. In my experience, it works up to five. I made my own game to test this, showing circles of different sizes and colours randomly scattered across the screen for 250 milliseconds. Each "round" shows between 1 and 10 circles at random, and the game lasts for 150 rounds. I played this game many times, and each time I got 100% accuracy between 1 and 5 items. Accuracy fell dramatically at 6 (and I was really just guessing if there were 7 or more items). Looking around in general, subitising definitely works to 5 for me. My friends played my game, and some of them also got 100% accuracy on 5 - although interestingly others saw the same dramatic accuracy fall at 5 and I saw at 6. I guess maybe subitising limit is down to the individual, so a maximum of four isn't a hard limit for all people. Minecraft69 (talk) 21:39, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

 * This is absolutely correct. In fact, the article does say, "By the age of seven that ability increases to 4–7 objects." I am personally not aware of research confirming that people can subitize six or seven randomly objects, but there is definitely research confirming that many elementary school students can subitize up to five. If there is somewhere in the article where it says people cannot subitize to five, that should be corrected.

 * I agree; the lead said
 * Sets larger than about four items cannot be subitized unless the items appear in a pattern with which the person is familiar
 * I've changed "about four" to "about for to five". Nø (talk) 18:05, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * However, "about four" could mean e.g. "3, 4 or 5", which, including young children, could be correct. "About four to five" is, arguably, an oddity. I suppose it could be taken to mean something like "4 or 5, or possibly 3 (or even less), or 6 (or even more)" - and that, I believe, is the correct amount of ambiguity in this statement.
 * Hvaing a source for such a statement would be good, though!
 * Perhaps, we could say "more than about 4, with significant individual variation"? Nø (talk) 08:26, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Lingerie

Request to add mention of historical evidence of 15th century lingerie.
It's not surprising that the article describes lingerie as dating back to the late 19th century and chiefly begun in the 20th century because it seems that's what many people believe. But that is an inaccurate picture of its history. In fact, the design and use of lingerie goes much further back than the 19th century and has been the subject of scholarly investigation. In July 2008, a team led by Innsbruck University began archaelogical research at Lengsberg Castle in the Austrian Tyrol. The team made discoveries that included a number of items of underwear which, by form and use, could only be called medieval lingeries. Some 5 items were obviously brassieres. The link below goes to a paper produced at the Innsbruck University which describes lingerie being dated to at least the 15th century and cites a supporting (no pun intended) contemporary account of the perceived use of what were essentially brassieres. Could somebody add a section to the article please?

The paper is at https://web.archive.org/web/20160206041713/http://www.uibk.ac.at/urgeschichte/projekte_forschung/textilien-lengberg/medieval-lingerie-from-lengberg-castle-east-tyrol.html 2600:1700:EA01:1090:9839:3E2C:891F:A5F2 (talk) 07:31, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Change from mood-lit low resolution image to high res natural light image?
Antique Rose can you give a rationale for why you reverted my change here as you didn't provide an edit summary for me to work with?

My reason for change was explained in my edit summary, but to reiterate - the old image has weird mood-lighting, and was fairly low resolution. The replaced image has natural light, is higher resolution, and still meets the same description of the old image. Can you clarify why you are against it? Thanks. Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:51, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No discussion after a week from reverting editor who has been active on the project, so reinstated new - and better - image. Chaheel Riens (talk) 19:59, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Please do not insert copyrighted images. It seems that the image in question is taken from AliExpress. Antique   Rose  20:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you rationale your claim that the image is both copyright and from AliExpress? The image has a valid license, having been checked by the FlickreviewR 2 bot, back in 2018 when the link was valid, and Tineye brings back no results at all.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:53, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

 * But Google Images does. Antique   Rose  09:25, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you be a little more helpful? Just linking to Google images is not a rationale.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 12:12, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

 * If you upload the image in question to Google Images and initiate the search, you will see what I mean. I'm not going to do it for you. Antique   Rose  16:04, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

You should really, as you're the one trying to use it as a rationale. You've made a claim that an image currently tagged as being correctly licensed is in fact not correctly licensed. Please prove it. Chaheel Riens (talk) 23:30, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Antique Rose - please explain your reasoning for reinstating the white lingerie image. You're not being very forthcoming in this discussion, and making it hard for me to work with you.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 09:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not especially difficult to use Google Images. You should make the search, as you want to insert a copyrighted image. Please, work with me!
 * It's not especially easy to track down a single image though. I've spent some time with it, and all I can find are these two results:
 * Made-in-China which is a photoshop removing the background, and the iamge doesn't even match the product description or product video. It's obviously not a genuine use of the image.
 * trendyTao where the image is clearly just photoshopped text along the brand line of both bra & panties.
 * Neither of those examples seem to be genuine copyright owners of the image in question - in fact both seem to be highly dubious. If you have other examples that contradict this viewpoint - please demonstrate.
 * Also, I notice that in one edit summary you state that "previous image better" - could you elaborate on why you think this? I've made my opinion clear on both the original white mood-lit image, and the natural light image - note my original opening comment:  "My reason for change was explained in my edit summary, but to reiterate - the old image has weird mood-lighting, and was fairly low resolution.  The replaced image has natural light, is higher resolution, and still meets the same description of the old image.  Can you clarify why you are against it?"  Thanks.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 09:59, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * (Additional) Just to comment - I wouldn't be against the removal of both images, tbh or replacement with something else - my beef is with the original mood-lit image, although I would be interested in your rationale for re-instatement of the mood-lit image. Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Antique Rose - can you please discuss here, before making contested changes to the article? I see you snuck this change in, which is contentious given that the image in question is being discussed right here.  I was giving you a week from your last edit after my response, but you jumped the gun (as is your right) so I'm back asking you to please clarify.  You haven't yet shown that the original replacement image fails criteria, whereas I've done my best to show suitability.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 10:02, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Please, your image is a copyvio from Ali Express. Wikipedia does not allow copyvios. Please, upload the image in question to Google Images and you will se that I am right. The image that I inserted is perfectly suitable and free to use. Antique   Rose  22:06, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

You will have to explain how to upload and how you are getting your resutls, because they are different to those I showed above. Simply saying "it's a copyvio" is not sufficient - you need to actually prove it. I could just as equally say that I am the model in question, and I've released the image into the public domain - just google it, and you'll see I'm right. In the meantime, stop edit warring while we discuss this. Stop inserting contested images. Chaheel Riens (talk) 22:10, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The image I inserted is in no way contested. LingerieGalore.jpg Antique   Rose  22:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * (e/c) Btw, I've revertee as your proposed image is not suitable because it's A: a poor representation of lingerie, and B: basically the same as another iamge on the page. I think it's better to have no image at all.
 * Ps: It is contested, because I've contested it.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 22:14, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Well, it is way better than your copyvio. Antique   Rose  22:16, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That's not really a valid excuse for inclusion though is it? How does it improve or contribute to the article in any way that the existing iamges don't?  My proposed iamge shows lingerie being worn, as opposed to being strewn about - of which there is already an example image in the article.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 22:21, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Well, your image is still a copyvio. It was uploaded by user (you?) who was blocked for multiple copyright violations. Antique   Rose  22:28, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If it was uploaded by a blocked user, it's unlikely to have been me is it, unless you're accusing me of sock-puppetry, which is a serious accusation, much more so than this little spat.
 * Anyway, instead of trading insults, why not let's both try to find an image that we agree on - if we also agree that an image is to be used at all? Commons has many images, but admittedly not all are suitable.  to my mind, a replacement image should meet the following criteria:
 * Be of a high resolution, or clear at least to show the subject
 * Contribute to the understanding of the article
 * be sufficiently dis-similar to existing images, to show variety
 * To that end, there are a few that may be suitable:
 * File:Panties styles - en.svg
 * File:Model in white lingerie at Western Canada Fashion Week 2016 Spring - Edmonton.jpg
 * Just two for starters - to get conversation going. Chaheel Riens (talk) 22:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * PS: Stop accusing me of inserting a copyrighted image.  Notwithstanding that the status has yet to be determined, but I'm not displaying it - it hasn't been in the article since 29 December.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:46, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I've given it a month and there's been no input regarding this, so I'm replacing the File:LingerieGalore.jpg image with the File:Model in white lingerie at Western Canada Fashion Week 2016 Spring - Edmonton.jpg image, as proposed above.

My rationale is the same as above, but to reiterate - this image shows lingerie being worn, has better light and clarity than the original it replaces, and the Lingeriegalore image is essentially the same style as File:Knickers1.jpg already in the article. Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:02, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Just for the record, if you claim that an image is taken from a certain website, then you should be able to link the page it was taken from. There's no reason to tell people to use Google Images if you have yourself already done so to check the image. There is no guarantee that they will get the same results as you.
 * Also do remember that just because an image is on another site is not proof it is a copyvio. Sometimes the image was copied from Wikipedia. You need to check if the site is older than the image upload date. Yes, that can be difficult, but that's why we have a dedicated system for that.
 * Finally, except in WP:BLP, there's no reason to delete an image from an article for being a copyvio. Simply open the image and mark it as a possibly copvio. Then, if it proven to be the case, the file itself will be removed. Only then does it make sense to a different image.
 * I hope this advice will help with these sorts of disputes in the future. — trlkly 19:50, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Ohio State Route 357

State Route 357 (SR 357) is a 2.353 mi east–west state highway in the northern portion of U.S. state of Ohio. Existing entirely on South Bass Island in Lake Erie, the highway begins at its western terminus of West Shore Boulevard, about 0.75 mi west of Put-in-Bay. SR 357 then travels northeast to its eastern terminus at a dead end at Lake Erie, approximately 2 mi east of Put-in-Bay Village.

SR 357 is one of two Ohio state routes on Lake Erie islands (the other being SR 575). SR 357 once extended to the mainland of Ohio via the Catawba Island ferry. It officially carries a north–south routing, but a single reassurance marker along the route displays "west" instead of "south".

Route description
The entirety of SR 357 exists within the confines of South Bass Island in Lake Erie. It is located within Put-in-Bay Township in Ottawa County. In 2012, between 490 and 590 vehicles travel on the road on average each day. SR 357 begins at West Shore Boulevard, and travels southwestward. The route passes by Oak Point State Park, and becomes part of Bayview Avenue. SR 357 then intersects County Route 163, which leads to the Put-in-Bay Airport, and the Put-in-Bay–Catawba Island ferry. The route later leaves Put-in-Bay, near Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial. SR 357 turns northeast to Columbus Avenue, and later ends at a dead end near the lake, next to a driveway.

History
The SR 357 designation was created in 1934. At the time, the highway was routed along the entirety of its present alignment on South Bass Island. However, in 1946, when SR 53 was extended northerly from Port Clinton to end at its present northern terminus in Catawba Island, SR 357 was simultaneously extended south onto the mainland via the ferry that connects Put-in-Bay with Catawba Island, then south along SR 53 to a new southern terminus at SR 2 east of Port Clinton. By 1969, all of the 1946 extension of SR 357 was eliminated, with the Put-in-Bay–Catawba Island ferry becoming a connector between the southern end of SR 357 and the northern endpoint of SR 53, and the mainland portion of SR 357 becoming just SR 53. By 1973, the Put-in-Bay–Catawba Island ferry docked on the south side of South Bass Island, ending the direct access to ferry docks and the rest of the state highway system from SR 357.

Carl Erskine

Carl Daniel Erskine (December 13, 1926 – April 16, 2024), nicknamed "Oisk", was an American baseball pitcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers from 1948 through 1959. He was a pitching mainstay on Dodger teams which won five National League pennants and the 1955 World Series.

During the 1953 season, Erskine won 20 games and set a World Series record with 14 strikeouts in a single game. He was an All-Star the following season. Erskine pitched two of the NL's seven no-hitters during the 1950s.

After his baseball career ended, he was active as a business executive and an author. In particular, he was involved deeply with the Special Olympics and charities which aimed at helping people with developmental difficulties such as his son Jimmy, who was born with Down syndrome. Erskine died in 2024, the last surviving member of the "Boys of Summer" Brooklyn teams of the 1950s.

Early life
Erskine was born in Anderson, Indiana, the youngest of three sons. He attended Anderson High School where he was a standout pitcher, attracting the attention of the Brooklyn Dodgers. After graduating, however, he joined the United States Navy in 1945. During his time with the Navy, he was stationed at Boston Navy Yard.

While in Boston, Erskine worked out with the Boston Braves who showed interest in him. However, Erskine remained loyal to the Dodgers and stalled the Braves' general manager John Quinn until an offer came from Dodgers' general manager Branch Rickey who gave him a bonus of $3,500 ($0 today) to sign with the Dodgers.

After being discharged from the Navy in 1946, he was declared a free agent by Commissioner Happy Chandler as the Dodgers had violated a directive which forbade Major League teams from signing a player active in the military. After a bidding war between the Boston Red Sox, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Dodgers, he signed with Brooklyn for another bonus of $5,000 ($0 today).

Career
Erskine broke into the majors a year before Don Newcombe, and from 1948–50 was used primarily as a relief pitcher, going 21–10. In 1951, he mixed 19 starts with 27 relief appearances, and went 16–12. Erskine was 14–6 in 1952 with a career-best 2.70 earned run average, then had his 20-win season in 1953, leading the league with a .769 winning percentage along with 187 strikeouts and 16 complete games, all career highs. This was followed by 18–15 in 1954, posting career highs in starts (37) and innings ($260 1/3$), then by 11–8 in 1955 and 13–11 in 1956.

When Newcombe was pitching in the ninth inning of the third game of the playoff with the New York Giants on October 3, 1951, Erskine and Ralph Branca were warming up in the bullpen. On the recommendation of pitching coach Clyde Sukeforth, who thought that Branca had better stuff, Newcombe was relieved by Branca, who then gave up the game-winning home run to Bobby Thomson. Whenever Erskine was asked what his best pitch was, he replied, "The curveball I bounced in the Polo Grounds bullpen in 1951."

Erskine was a member of the beloved Dodgers team that won the 1955 World Series for the franchise's first Series title. He appeared in eleven World Series games (1949–52–53-55-56), and made the NL All-Star team in 1954. Erskine's 14 strikeouts as the winner of Game 3 of the 1953 Fall Classic – including striking out the side in the ninth inning – broke the Series record of 13 held by Howard Ehmke (1929, Game 1), and stood for 10 years until Sandy Koufax struck out 15 New York Yankees in the first game of the 1963 World Series. He was ineffective in Games 1 and 6, although he was not charged with the losses. From 1951 through 1956, Erskine won 92 games while losing only 58, which helped the Dodgers to four pennants and World Series.

Erskine threw two no-hitters during his career. His first was against the Chicago Cubs on June 19, 1952 during which he walked only one batter, just missing a perfect game. His second no-hitter came against the New York Giants on May 12, 1956. Erskine is one of two Dodger pitchers to throw multiple no-hitters, the other being teammate Sandy Koufax who threw four.

In 1958, the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. On April 18, Erskine started the home opener at the Los Angeles Coliseum against the San Francisco Giants, who had moved west with their rivals, and won the game 6–5. However, his career in Los Angeles but lasted only a season and a half. He made his final appearance on June 14, 1959. In a twelve-season career, he posted a 122–78 (.610) record with 981 strikeouts and a 4.00 earned run average in $1718 2/3$ innings pitched. After retiring, he was made an assistant pitching coach in 1959 and finished the season on the team that went on to win the World Series.

Post-retirement
Following his retirement as a player, Erskine returned to his native Indiana. For the 1960 season, he worked as a color commentator for Saturday-afternoon telecasts of major league games on ABC, teaming with play-by-play announcer Jack Buck. He coached for the college baseball team Anderson College for 12 seasons, including four Hoosier Conference championships, and his 1965 squad went 20–5 and reached the NAIA World Series. He had 18 players named to All-Conference teams, and three named as All-American.

Erskine also became a leader in the community, participating in numerous organizations and businesses, including rising to the presidency of the Star Bank of Anderson, Indiana, before easing back to the role of vice chairman of the board. He was devoted to his son Jimmy, who was born with Down syndrome. He lived at home and held a job nearby at the Hopewell Center for people with developmental difficulties.

To commemorate Erskine's accomplishments both as a Dodger and as a citizen, a 6 ft bronze statue was built in front of the Carl D. Erskine Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Center. Erskine also donated part of his land to the Anderson Community School System to build a new school, which was named Erskine Elementary. In 2002, Erskine Street in Brooklyn was created and named after him.

In 2010, he was awarded the Sachem Award by Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana, the state's highest honor which is given to recognize lifetime achievement of citizens of Indiana.

Erskine served as a member of the advisory board of the Baseball Assistance Team, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping former Major League, Minor League, and Negro league baseball players through financial and medical difficulties. Additionally, the Carl and Betty Erskine Society was formed by Erskine in order to raise money for the Special Olympics in which he was involved for more than 40 years.

In 2023, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum awarded Erskine the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to charity and his work towards the Special Olympics.

Personal life
Erskine married Betty Palmer on October 5, 1947, they remained married for the next 76 years. The couple had four children together: Danny, Gary, Susan, and Jimmy. After his retirement, the couple lived in his hometown of Anderson, Indiana. He had initially planned to move his family to New York City to work as a representative for Van Heusen's athletic wear. However, after Jimmy Erskine was born with Down Syndrome, the family chose to remain in Anderson.

Following a bout of pneumonia, Erskine died on April 16, 2024, at Community Hospital Anderson. He was 97. Erskine outlived his son, Jimmy, who had died in 2023.

Erskine was the last surviving member of the "Boys of Summer" Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1940s and 1950s. Upon his death, Dodgers president and chief executive officer Stan Kasten released the following statement:

"Carl Erskine was an exemplary Dodger. He was as much a hero off the field as he was on the field – which given the brilliance of his pitching is saying quite a lot. His support of the Special Olympics and related causes, inspired by his son Jimmy – who led a life beyond all expectations when he was born with Down Syndrome, cemented his legacy. We celebrate the life of 'Oisk' as we extend our sympathies to his wife, Betty, and their family."

Erskine's funeral was held in Madison Park Church of God in Anderson, Indiana on April 22. His body was later interred at Anderson Memorial Park.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is the first expansion set for the MMORPG World of Warcraft. It was released on January 16, 2007 at local midnight in Europe and North America, selling nearly 2.4 million copies on release day alone and making it, at the time, the fastest-selling PC game released at that point. Approximately 3.53 million copies were sold in the first month of release, including 1.9 million in North America, nearly 1.6 million in Europe, and over 100,000 copies in Australia.

Gameplay
Two new playable races were added to World of Warcraft in The Burning Crusade: the Draenei of the Alliance and the Blood Elves of the Horde. Previously, the shaman class was exclusive to the Horde faction (available to the orc, troll and tauren races), and the paladin class was exclusive to the Alliance faction (available to the human and dwarf races); with the new races, the expansion allowed players to be a Draenei shaman (Alliance), and a Blood Elf paladin (Horde). The level cap was raised by ten, making it 70. In addition, a new planet, Outland, was added, with associated quests, dungeons, raids, zones, creatures, and cities.

After reaching level 70, players were able to ride flying mounts although only in Outland, not in Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor.

In Player versus Player (PvP) mode, a new battleground, Eye of the Storm was introduced with two brackets: one for characters between levels 61–69, and another for level 70 characters. Players are unable to summon flying mounts in this battleground. The Eye of the Storm battleground is only available to those with the expansion.

A new PvP Arena System was introduced as a way for players to fight in 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, or 5 vs 5 death-match style battles. While the arena system allowed players without The Burning Crusade expansion to partake in skirmish matches, those without the expansion were unable to participate in rated matches, which yield rewards based on a point system. Ladder matches were only accessible by players who have reached level 70. Three arena stages were introduced in The Burning Crusade expansion, including The Ruins of Lordaeron in the Undercity, The Circle of Blood in Blade's Edge Mountains, and the Ring of Trials in Nagrand.

Arena matches have taken a more prominent role in World of Warcraft's PvP content, and have developed into an electronic sport. One example of Arena matches as an electronic sport was the World Series of Video Games in 2007, where player teams competed in 3 vs 3 matches to earn cash prizes. Blizzard also holds its own seasonal tournament, the World of Warcraft Arena Tournament, which pitches teams from servers all around the world against each other. This tournament concludes with a 5v5 world final event, the first of which took place at BlizzCon ’07 and so ended season 1.

Additional "outdoor" PvP objectives were implemented, which are different for each zone in which they are located. Most of these outdoor PvP objectives involve "capturing" key points to reward players of the same faction in the area, usually with a temporary buff that adds a damage boost to player attacks or increases the rate players gain experience or faction points while the players are in the zone. For example, Terokkar Forest's PvP contest involves players standing near towers in order to capture them while defending the towers in PvP combat with players of the opposite faction that try to capture the objective. Other examples include Halaa in Nagrand and the Hellfire Fortifications in Hellfire Peninsula, where players compete for control to unlock quest and vendor access or gain factional reputation for rewards.

New races
There are two new races in this expansion: the Blood Elves for the Horde and the Draenei for the Alliance.

Blood elf — A faction of former Alliance members join the Horde in the expansion. They are led by Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron. The blood elf capital is Silvermoon City. Their racial mount is the bird-like hawkstrider and their language is Thalassian.

Blood Elves can be played as hunters, warlocks, priests, paladins, rogues, and mages.

Draenei — A faction of uncorrupted eredar join the Alliance. They are led by their prophet, Velen. The draenei capital city is the Exodar. Their racial mount is the elephant-like elekk and their language is Draenei.

The Draenei can be played as warriors, paladins, priests, shamans, hunters, and mages.

Plot
The expansion's name refers to the return of the "Burning Legion"; a vast army of demons being one of the main, recurring antagonist forces in the Warcraft-universe and whose last invasion was defeated in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. This legion and its allies are the main enemy which players will fight against in The Burning Crusade. In addition to some new areas on Azeroth, this expansion mainly features the ravaged world of Outland which the Burning Legion and other powerful beings control.

The Doom Lord Kazzak reopened the Dark Portal to Outland, flooding Azeroth with the ravenous demons of the Burning Legion. Expeditions from the Horde and Alliance, reinforced by their new blood elf and draenei allies, passed through the gateway to stop the invasion at its source. On Outland's desiccated Hellfire Peninsula, the Alliance discovered several of their heroes who had crossed through the portal many years before, while the Horde made contact with the Mag'har (uncorrupted) orcs who had not participated in their race's original invasion of Azeroth. The expedition into Outland dragged Horde and Alliance armies further into conflict with the agents of the Legion and the lieutenants of Illidan Stormrage, who had claimed the shattered realm for his own.

The Black Temple
In his quest to reign over all of Outland, Illidan the Betrayer had established a mighty stronghold for his forces within the Black Temple, a former draenei citadel. Yet his influence began to wane after the defeat of his most trusted lieutenants, including the ruler of the Illidari Naga, Lady Vashj, and the traitorous former leader of the blood elves, Kael'thas Sunstrider. The resulting window of opportunity permitted Akama, an elder sage of devolved draenei known as the Broken, to rebel against the self-styled "Lord of Outland." Along with Illidan's former jailor, the obsessed night elf Maiev Shadowsong, Akama helped a group of heroes infiltrate Illidan's seat of power and put an end to the Betrayer's reign once and for all.

The Gods of Zul'Aman
Following years of battles alongside the old Horde, the troll warlord Zul'jin retired to the city of Zul'Aman, capital of the Amani trolls, where he called upon mysterious dark powers to rebuild his army. While the eyes of Azeroth focused on the fight against the Burning Legion and the expedition to Outland, treasure-seekers invaded Zul'Aman, rekindling Zul'jin's hatred of the outside world—particularly the high elves of Quel'Thalas. Upon hearing that these newly christened "blood elves" had become part of the Horde in his absence, the infuriated Zul'jin declared war on both Horde and Alliance. To gain the upper hand, Zul'jin attempts to awaken ancient animal gods to harness their power, but is slain by a group of heroes before his plans can come to fruition.

Fury of the Sunwell
Fresh from his defeat in Outland, Kael'thas Sunstrider returned to the blood elf city of Silvermoon. Rather than leading his people to glory as he had promised, the disgraced prince betrayed them. Kael'thas plotted to use the legendary Sunwell, source of the blood elves' magical power, to summon the demon lord Kil'jaeden into Azeroth. Aided by a joint task force of blood elves and draenei, the Shattered Sun Offensive, Horde and Alliance heroes, with the help of a dragon Kalecgos and the Sunwell's mortal form, Anveena; narrowly stopped both Kael'thas and Kil'jaeden, although Anveena sacrificed herself in the process. The draenei prophet Velen then used the naaru M'uru's energy to reignite and purify the Sunwell.

Pre-Patch
Before the Storm Patch 2.0.1 was released 5 December 2006 in the US on Client Version 6180

Worldwide release
Release was staggered by time zone, with players queuing outside more than 5000 brick and mortar game stores around the world as midnight approached in their local time zone. The game was released in North America, Europe, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia on January 16, 2007. It was released in Australasia one day later on January 17, 2007. It was later released in South Korea on February 1, 2007; in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on April 30, 2007. The game was released in mainland China on September 6, 2007.

On June 28, 2011, Blizzard included the Burning Crusade expansion to all players who purchase the base game. On July 17, 2018 with the pre-patch to Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard included all expansions except the latest to all players who subscribe.

On February 19, 2021, Blizzard announced the Burning Crusade expansion for the Classic version of the game.

Distribution errors
Blizzard made a number of errors during the distribution of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade in Europe. One such error was the failure to register the Collector's Edition for in-game rewards. As such, players who purchased the Collector's Edition of the game would have to send numerous proofs of purchase to Blizzard by postal mail in order to redeem their in-game awards. To compensate for the additional trouble, as well as encouraging players to send in proof, Blizzard sent these players an exclusive in-game pet not found in other regions.

Only 1,600 copies were delivered to Romania, which had more than 10,000 World of Warcraft subscribers at the time.

Soundtrack
The Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade included an audio CD of the soundtrack including 21 tracks of the orchestrally recorded music, composed by Russell Brower, Derek Duke, Matt Uelmen, and Neal Acree with additional music by Brian David Farr and David Arkenstone. The soundtrack was also subsequently released for purchase through online sources, such as Apple's iTunes Store.

Reception
The Burning Crusade received almost universal praise from critics upon release.

The specially designed new starter areas met a mixed reception from critics. On the one hand, they were felt to give a strong new perspective to existing players or a solid introduction to the game to new players. The arrangement of quests and content in these areas was felt to be more finely tuned than for existing races, with players unlikely to face grinding in order to progress and an interesting backstory being gradually revealed. It was felt that Blizzard had learned from the release of the original game, with the new content being varied without becoming overwhelming to new players, and new concepts being gradually introduced. On the other hand, reviewers felt that the new starter areas were poorly integrated with the existing world, leaving them feeling "tacked on." They were also disappointed that the new areas had a definite finish, beyond which a player would have to switch back to older content in order to progress their character. This progression didn't feel as smooth to reviewers when compared to the movement between zones for new characters from the older starting areas. The experience was also felt to be short-lived, with players being able to progress through these new areas with a couple of days' play without any new introductory dungeons to explore. It was also felt that these changes didn't address existing problems, such as the travel time between quest locations.

Like in the original, the scenery of The Burning Crusade was highly praised, being described as "occasionally breathtaking," The introductory video to the expansion was described as "hugely impressive." It was generally felt that the new Outland areas were some of the best in the game, with the size of the new areas introduced being similar to the total size of other existing games in the genre. The new starting areas were also liked, with reviewers appreciating the attention to detail in these zones. Building architecture, scenery and creatures were all singled out for mention, despite some disappointment that buildings and creatures from the original game had been "rubber stamped" into these new locations. The uniqueness of each zone, from scorched plateaus to lush forests were praised, each area being described as having its own unique feel. The various small features, such as mechanical settlements or abandoned temples were also well liked. Players were advised that they would spend a large amount of time "just staring at the scenery" in these new locations. That said, it was felt that the game was starting to show its age, with careful use of texture and lighting techniques disguising a basic underlying geometry. This was thought to follow on from the strategy in the original game, where strong art direction and careful choice of color helped to compensate for a simpler game engine, describing it as a "testament of art over technology."

The orchestral music was well received, being described as providing a "constantly changing backdrop." The new score was felt to mesh well with the original, while still providing occasional "fresh twists." The soundtracks to each of the two new starting areas were particularly praised. Reviewers were generally positive about the voice acting in the game.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade was the best-selling PC game of 2007 in North America and Europe, and it is also the third fastest-selling PC game of all time (behind Wrath of The Lich King and Cataclysm), selling nearly 2.4 million copies in its first 24 hours and approximately 3.5 million in its first month. It received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

During the 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences awarded The Burning Crusade with "Massively Multiplayer Game of the Year", along with receiving a nomination for "Computer Game of the Year".

Retention basin

A retention basin, sometimes called a retention pond, wet detention basin, or storm water management pond (SWMP), is an artificial pond with vegetation around the perimeter and a permanent pool of water in its design.   It is used to manage stormwater runoff, for protection against flooding, for erosion control, and to serve as an artificial wetland and improve the water quality in adjacent bodies of water.

It is distinguished from a detention basin, sometimes called a "dry pond", which temporarily stores water after a storm, but eventually empties out at a controlled rate to a downstream water body. It also differs from an infiltration basin which is designed to direct stormwater to groundwater through permeable soils.

Wet ponds are frequently used for water quality improvement, groundwater recharge, flood protection, aesthetic improvement, or any combination of these. Sometimes they act as a replacement for the natural absorption of a forest or other natural process that was lost when an area is developed. As such, these structures are designed to blend into neighborhoods and viewed as an amenity.

In urban areas, impervious surfaces (roofs, roads) reduce the time spent by rainfall before entering into the stormwater drainage system. If left unchecked, this will cause widespread flooding downstream. The function of a stormwater pond is to contain this surge and release it slowly. This slow release mitigates the size and intensity of storm-induced flooding on downstream receiving waters. Stormwater ponds also collect suspended sediments, which are often found in high concentrations in stormwater water due to upstream construction and sand applications to roadways.

Design features
Storm water is typically channeled to a retention basin through a system of street and/or parking lot storm drains, and a network of drain channels or underground pipes. The basins are designed to allow relatively large flows of water to enter, but discharges to receiving waters are limited by outlet structures that function only during very large storm events.

Retention ponds are often landscaped with a variety of grasses, shrubs, and/or aquatic plants to provide bank stability and aesthetic benefits. Vegetation also provides water quality benefits by removing soluble nutrients through uptake. In some areas the ponds can attract nuisance types of wildlife like ducks or Canada geese, particularly where there is minimal landscaping and grasses are mowed. This reduces the ability of foxes, coyotes, and other predators to approach their prey unseen. Such predators tend to hide in the cattails and other tall, thick grass surrounding natural water features.

Proper depth of retention ponds is important for removal of pollutants and maintenance of fish populations. Urban fishing continues to be one of the fastest growing fishing segments as new suburban neighborhoods are built around these aquatic areas.

Other meanings
A retention basin can also be a part of a nuclear reactor used to contain a core meltdown.

Pieter Claesz

Pieter Claesz (c. 1597 – 1 January 1660) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of still lifes.

Biography
He was born in Berchem, Belgium, near Antwerp, where he became a member of the Guild of St. Luke in 1620. He moved to Haarlem in 1620, where his son, the landscape painter Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem was born (October 1). He and Willem Claeszoon Heda, who also worked in Haarlem, were the most important exponents of the "ontbijt" or dinner piece. They painted with subdued, virtually monochromatic palettes, the subtle handling of light and texture being the prime means of expression. Claesz generally chose objects of a more hospitable kind than Heda, although his later work became more colourful and decorative. Claesz's still lifes often suggest allegorical purpose, with skulls serving as reminders of human mortality. The two men founded a distinguished tradition of still life painting in Haarlem. Pieter Claesz was influenced by the artist movement 'Vanitas'.

Legacy
Claesz is registered in the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke as the teacher of his son, Nicolaes Berchem, in 1634, but Nicolaes preferred landscapes to still life painting and later after a trip his talent in music. Claesz had, in addition to his son, the pupils Evert van Aelst, Floris van Dyck, Christian Berentz, Floris van Schooten, and Jan Jansz Treck.

Isola Bella (Sicily)

Isola Bella (Sicilian: Ìsula Bedda) is a small island near Taormina, Sicily, southern Italy. Also known as The Pearl of the Ionian Sea, it is located within a small bay on the Ionian Sea; it was a private property, for a time owned by Florence Trevelyan, until 1990, when it was bought by the Region of Sicily, being turned into a nature reserve, administered by the Italian branch of the World Wide Fund for Nature. There is a narrow path that often connects the island to the mainland beach. The island is surrounded by sea grottos and has a small and rather rocky beach which is a popular destination for sunbathers.

History
King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies gifted the island to the nearby town of Taormina in 1806. The island was in 1890 bought from the town by Trevelyan, who built a small house facing the sea and imported exotic plants, which thrived in the Mediterranean climate. Subsequent owners kept up the island, until the owner went bankrupt, and auctioned the island in 1990. The island had been noted by conservationists as early as 1983, and it was quickly obtained by the region and designated as a protected natural site. The island is home to several species of birds, and a few types of lizards.

Margo (actress)

Margo (born María Marguerita Guadalupe Teresa Estela Bolado Castilla y O'Donnell, May 10, 1917 – July 17, 1985) was a Mexican actress and dancer. She appeared in many film, stage, and television productions, including Lost Horizon (1937), The Leopard Man (1943), Viva Zapata! (1952), and I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955). She married actor Eddie Albert in 1945 and was later known as Margo Albert.

Early life and career
Margo was born into a musically talented family in Mexico City in 1917. As a child, she trained as a dancer with Eduardo Cansino, the father of Rita Hayworth. At the age of nine, she began dancing professionally with her uncle Xavier Cugat and his band in performances at Mexican nightclubs.

Margo travelled to the United States as a child, living in New York City with her aunt, singer Carmen Castillo. While accompanying her uncle's band during a performance at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, Margo was noticed by producer and director Ben Hecht and screenwriter Charles MacArthur, who cast the 17-year-old performer as the lead in their film Crime Without Passion. Margo also played the character of Miriamne Esdras both on stage and in the 1936 film version of Winterset, which one critic called a "cinemagoer's must". Other notable roles in the 1930s include parts in the 1937 film Lost Horizon and Broadway productions of Maxwell Anderson's Masque of Kings (1937) and Sidney Kingsley's The World We Make (1939).

Blacklisting
While Margo continued to act in films until the 1960s, her career was curtailed by the television blacklist that began in 1950, with the targeting of Gypsy Rose Lee, Jean Muir, Hazel Scott, and Ireene Wicker. Margo held progressive political views, but she was not a member of the Communist Party. In 1950, her name and that of her husband, Eddie Albert, were published in Red Channels, an anti-Communist pamphlet that purported to expose Communist influence within the entertainment industry. Red Channels labeled her a communist because of her support for the Hollywood Ten, her advocacy for peace, and her support for refugees.

In 1964, she played the role of Selena in the Rawhide episode "A Man Called Mushy".

Albert's son spoke of his parents' blacklisting in an interview published in December 1972, crediting Albert's service during World War II with ultimately saving his career.

"My mom was blacklisted for appearing at an anti-Franco rally; she was branded a Communist, was spat upon in the streets, and had to have a bodyguard. And my dad found himself unemployable at several major studios, just when his career was gathering momentum. During the second World War, dad joined the Navy and saw action at Tarawa, and because he came back something of a hero, he was able to get work again. But he never got as far as he should have gotten."

Eddie Albert's film career survived the blacklist, but Margo was blacklisted by the major Hollywood studios.

Arts activism and engagement
In the years after the blacklist, Margo pursued her advocacy for arts and education. In 1970, along with Frank Lopez, a trade union activist, Margo founded Plaza de la Raza (Place of the People) in East Los Angeles. A cultural center for arts and education, Plaza de la Raza remains in operation today, providing year-round programming in arts education. Her work with Plaza de la Raza included serving as the artistic director and as chairwoman of the board. Albert's commitment to the arts extended beyond her work in East Los Angeles: she served as a steering committee member on the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities and was a member of the board of the National Council of the National Endowment for the Arts.

Personal life
Margo was married twice. In 1937, she wed actor Francis Lederer, but they divorced in 1940. In December 1945, three years after she became a naturalized citizen of the United States, she married actor Eddie Albert. She and Albert had two children, a son (actor Edward Albert) and an adopted daughter (Maria Carmen Zucht, who served as her father's business manager). The couple were married for 40 years, until 1985 when she died from brain cancer at age 68 in their home in Pacific Palisades, California. Her gravesite is in Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

Rosemary DeCamp

Rosemary Shirley DeCamp (November 14, 1910 – February 20, 2001) was an American radio, film, and television actress.

Early life
Rosemary Shirley DeCamp was born in Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona on November 14, 1910 to William Valentine DeCamp and Margaret Elizabeth Hinman.

Radio
DeCamp first came to fame in November 1937, when she took the role of Judy Price, the secretary/nurse of Dr. Christian in the long-running Dr. Christian radio series. She also played in The Career of Alice Blair, a transcribed syndicated soap opera that ran in 1939–1940.

Film and television
She made her film debut in Cheers for Miss Bishop and appeared in many Warner Bros. films, including Eyes in the Night, Yankee Doodle Dandy playing Nellie Cohan opposite James Cagney, This Is The Army playing the wife of George Murphy and the mother of Ronald Reagan, Rhapsody in Blue, and Nora Prentiss. She played the mother of the character played by Sabu Dastagir in Jungle Book.

In 1951 and 1953, respectively, she starred in the nostalgic musical films On Moonlight Bay and its sequel, By The Light Of The Silvery Moon, as Alice Winfield, Doris Day's mother, opposite Leon Ames.

DeCamp played Peg Riley in the first television version of The Life of Riley opposite Jackie Gleason in the 1949–1950 season, then reprised the role on radio with original star William Bendix for an episode of Lux Radio Theater in 1950. From 1955–1959, she was a regular on the popular NBC television comedy The Bob Cummings Show, playing Margaret MacDonald.

She appeared in the 1961 Rawhide episode, "Incident Near Gloomy River". In 1962, she played a dishonest Southern belle in the NBC sitcom Ensign O'Toole with Dean Jones. She appeared in the role of Gertrude Komack on ABC's medical drama Breaking Point in the episode entitled "A Little Anger is a Good Thing".

DeCamp appeared twice in different roles on Death Valley Days. In 1965, she played newspaper editor Caroline Romney of Durango, Colorado, in the episode "Mrs. Romney and the Outlaws". She portrayed Hannah Bailey, wife of James Briton "Brit" Bailey, in the 1969 episode "Here Stands Bailey". During the 1960s, she appeared in commercials for the laundry product 20 Mule Team Borax, which sponsored Death Valley Days.

DeCamp had a recurring role as Helen Marie, the mother of Marlo Thomas's character on the ABC sitcom That Girl from 1966–1970. She appeared in several 1968 episodes of the CBS sitcom Petticoat Junction as Kate Bradley's sister, Helen, filling in as a temporary replacement for the ailing Bea Benaderet as the mother figure to Bradley's three daughters. DeCamp also appeared in 1962 in the TV series Hazel starring Shirley Booth as Hazel's wealthy cousin Sybil.

DeCamp appeared in 2 episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies as Mrs Priscilla Rolfe Alden Smith-Standish, a famous expert on antiquities who befriended the Clampetts.

DeCamp made several appearances as the mother of Shirley Partridge in The Partridge Family from 1970–1973. She also played The Fairy Godmother in the 1980s TV show, The Memoirs of a Fairy Godmother.

DeCamp played Buck Rogers' mother in flashback scenes of the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode "The Guardians" (1981). She played her last role on television in the Murder, She Wrote episode "Dead Letter" in 1989.

On July 7, 1946, her Beverly Hills home was damaged when struck by a wing after the experimental XF-11 piloted by Howard Hughes (re-created in the 2004 movie, The Aviator) crashed nearby. Although a piece of the wing and a part of the neighbor's roof landed in DeCamp's bedroom (where she and her husband were sleeping) they sustained no injuries.

Personal life and death
DeCamp was married to Inglewood Municipal Judge John Ashton Shidler for 57 years from 1941 until his death in 1998. The Shidlers raised four daughters: Margaret, Martha, Valerie, and Nita. Outliving most of her contemporaries, DeCamp died of pneumonia in 2001, age 90. She was cremated and her ashes given to her daughter.

DeCamp was the author of a children's book, ''Here, Duke! The Adventures of an Irish Setter,'' which was published by the David McKay Company, in 1962. In 2009, an autobiographical book of her life in film and television titled Rosemary De Camp: Tigers in My Lap was published posthumously.

DeCamp was an active Democrat in California.

Talk:A Few Good Men (play)

Very good article
I just want to say that this is a very good article. -Amit —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.22.216.150 (talk • contribs) 02:00, 18 July 2005

Jess[eou]p?
I've changed what was Jessop to Jessup, since that is the name used in Amazon, Barnes and Noble and on the NY Times movie review. Also, Google search results:

 * Jessup - 8,240
 * Jessop - 803
 * Jessep - 799

It seems even IMDB has it wrong. That's one reason why Reuters has specifically NOT approved Wikipedia or IMDB to be citable sources. Fuzheado | Talk 22:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, it is not as simple as a Google search and count the numbers. The end credits of my DVD clearly show the character credit as "Col. Nathan R. Jessep".  The DVD scene selection and liner notes also use that spelling, so the DVD is consistent.  Two on-line scripts show the name as Jessep.     Finally, the Awards Database of the Academy Awards Site list the nomination as "ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE -- A Few Good Men {"Col. Nathan R. Jessep"}" .  I think the Academy Awards site is the final authority here, since I cannot find a Aaron Sorkin site.  Wendell 14:59, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Nicholson's SAG and on-screen credit is definitely for portraying "Col. Nathan R. Jessep". Given the lack of an actual on-screen "canonical" proof (Jessep never wears a uniform with a nametag, alas) I think that has to be the best authority. I note that it was also spelled "Jessep" in the Broadway play. Shadoks 13:14, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * While I agree that Jessep is the best spelling given all current information, is there an on-line reference to a SAG credit? I could not find one.  However the above Academy Awards Site seems most clear and authoritative.  Wendell 00:51, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Unsupported Assertion: anti-American movie?
Someone recently added a "Progression" section were he/she claims this is an anti-American/anti-military movie, something which is a) unclear (and false in my opinion) and b) unsupported original research, something frowned upon by Wikipedia's rules. I'm eliminating this section and reverting to the previous version. This is what gets eliminated:

 * Progression.
 * This movie seems to be a progression of anti-military movies generated by Hollywood (like From Here to Eternity). It seems the insipiration for the battle between lawyers on behalf of junior officers vs. senior officers or commanders was the depiction in the movie The Caine Mutiny. In the Caine Mutiny the initial drafts were anti-Navy written by a writer with Communist sympathies in the beginning of the cold war. Towards the conclusion of the movie the lawyer who convicts the General chances upon a group of celebrating and mutinous sailors who are then informed that they have done a disservice to their country by pressing charges against their Captain. Apparently a Few Good Men was written as a rebuttal to make amends for that last shred of vaguely pro military view.

Excellent cut. It's so wrong on so many levels it boggles the mind.--Buckboard 09:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Minor Change
There was a line in the article that read, "... his history of quickly settling cases, which would remove the cloud of suspicion that could bring the Marine Corps embarrassment". This detail wasn't 100% accurate, probably closer to 90%. I added/changed the line to "... his history of quickly settling cases by plea bargains, which would have prevented the case from ever going to trial, bringing the Marine Corps embarrassment". Quickly settling cases implies still having gone to trial, i added the lines "by plea bargains" and "prevented the case from ever going to trial" to emphasize the facts that A, Kaffee reguarly settles cases by plea bargains to avoid trials, and B, explicitly show that keeping the case out of trial was exactly what was desired because it involves investigations and questionings. I just felt this was a bit more accurate. Watemon 10:55, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Replaced definition of "code-red"
Just finished editing to replace the severely muddied and Orwellian definition of "code-red" with something more brief, appropriate, and factual. Any objections, please post them here. --68.100.2.20 16:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

"You can't handle the truth" denouement
I'm pretty certain that I heard Jessup say to the judge in the movie "Colonel, what's going on?" after the court members are cleared from the courtroom, not just "What's going on?". Is that accurate? If it is, it'd be notable in that it's the only time when Jessup looks like he has no idea, and no control, over what's happening. Ironic given Downey's on-the-stand confusion when questioned by Ross. Wl219 21:58, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 07:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

"Blanket Party"- another term for Code Red
The term "Code Red" may be fictional, but the practice of using physical means to correct the actions/attitude of a fellow soldier is still in use. In the Army we called it a "Blanket party"- when the individual in question is in his bunk, a group of guys will rush in and throw a blanket over him. Two to four guys will hold the blanket tight, effectively pinning the "Correctee" down, while others will pummel him with pillowcases full of soap (or other objects) or simply beat him with their fists. Head and face shots are avoided, and the correctee usually just gets a few bruises. This is a barbaric and (obviously) illegal practice, but I have seen it straighten out a couple of soldiers in Basic Training who were not team players. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.166.78.66 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 13 November 2006

 * Wow, that's a scene straight out of Full Metal Jacket. Head and face shots are avoided? What about shots to the genitals? Also, do women in the service get the same barbaric treatment? If so, what about shots to the boobs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KenFehling (talk • contribs) 01:42, 24 May 2007

 * Talk pages aren't really the place to bring up issues of discussion. BUT.... Blanket Party is apparently now an article (haven't checked it.)  Blanket parties are real and do occur (at least, when I went through Army Basic in 1986.  It's a tradition that is strictly forbidden by TRADOC (again, a couple of decades ago,) but nevertheless occurs and is persistent in Initial Training.  As such, there are no "rules" per se, but again tradition holds that you don't render someone unfit for duty, nor cause bruises, etc. that would be visible when wearing uniform, nor cause permanent injury.  You just pummel them so that they know they're fucking up not just themselves, but the unit.  I can't speak to women recruits. 98.215.48.213 (talk) 14:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

In my Marine corp. unit new joins were pink bellied (everyone in your platoon got to give you, one after the other - a slap - open handed - in the belly - doesent sound so bad does it. Best results acheeved when you lick your hand before giving the slap. When a Marine becomes a NCO he wares a red stripe down the leg of his dress blue uniform - blood stripe. All other NCO's get to give him a dead leg when they first see him. These are all called hazeing and in a way byond my ability to explain unify the platoon. Dont expect civilians to understand this. Marines job description - killing people - it's not normal - it's a life outside the normal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.89.240.82 (talk) 13:00, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Trivia
There is a line in the trivia section that seems to be missing a word or have accidentally replaced a word such that it doesn't make any sense. "The play was sent being performed on stage and being sent to producers as a sample of Aaron Sorkin's writing ability. It was never intended to be used as screenplay material." In particular, the first "sent" makes the sentence very confusing. Could someone else take a look at this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.163.47 (talk • contribs) 03:03, 16 November 2006

Is the trivia section necessary for this article? Having viewed it briefly I can think some of these points could be included in the article. For discussion..... Lukeyboyuk (talk) 19:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Code Red
In the article, it says that the "Code Red" is not real and that it was created for the movie. However, in a documentary included on the DVD version of the film, Aaron Sorkin says that it is a real term. The page on the various "Code Reds" states that the term is a slang term for roughing up an uncooperative soldier. I'm not sure which is right-the documentary and the "Code Red" page, or the article on the film. Anyone know for sure? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CJS102793 (talk • contribs) 14:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

 * I think the text has been cleared up somewhat. In the film, one of the witnesses states that it is a term used only at Gitmo.  It wouldn't surprise me that Blanket Parties have different terms at different bases, though.  So the complex answer in the article right now is probably correct -- the term itself may have been invented for the movie for a very real act...  Or it could be that somewhere, someplace, Code Red was a real term.  Maybe citing the commentary would solve the problem? 98.215.48.213 (talk) 14:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

On which real person is Caffey based?
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but this article, near the top, states the character of Lt. Caffey is based on "the exploits of" Don Macari, while farther down it states the character is based on David Inglesias, now famous as one of the eight U.S. attorneys dismissed by the Bush Administration. Is there a conflict of facts here, or is the Caffey character constructed from bits of both men? Of the two statements, I tend to believe the character is based on Inglesias, since this has been reported widely on the web. But that is not conclusive proof. Gladmax 14:38, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I can tell you that Don Marcari certainly believes the film is based on his exploits as he uses that for advertisements for his current law firm. I was also taken aback when I heard that David Iglesias was the inspiration for Cruise's character... I assumed that both of the men were probably involved in the case in some way... This is the only link I have seen that references them both... However there seem to be a lot of news sources referencing either one or the other as inspiration for Tom Cruise's character... This link references a 1994 article in which Maracari says that the character is a composite of him and 2 other guys, and Iglesias is named as one of the others...

I also find it odd that the info about Marcari is included in the Plot Summary section. that doesn't seem like the appropriate place for it. --SportyJames 16:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I reverted the 2 edits made that changed the Don Marcari reference to David Iglesias. Iglesias is already mentioned in the Trivia section. There are citations in various news sources that Marcari was the inspiration for the lead in the movie. I'm guessing that there are that many more available citations for David Iglesias because he is of course in the limelight due to his recent controversial dismissal from his post as federal prosecutor for New Mexico. It appears that Sorkin probably took inspirtaion from both attorneys and perhaps more than just those 2. At this point it would make more sense to take the Marcari reference out of the plot synopsis section, and the Iglesias reference out of the trivia section and make a new reference citing the fact that there are claims that both men are the inspiration for the films lead. I think that would be the best route until perhaps a quote from Sorkin himself is found that sheds some light on the issue.--SportyJames 06:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Granted, this update is almost a year overdue, but in the DVD special features, Sorkin states that the case is based on a case his sister, a JAG attorney, had. Minaker (talk) 09:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Cast differentiation
Does any one else think there should be some differentiation made between the cast of the play and the cast of the movie, also the plot lists the characters portrayed by their on-screen counterparts?

Plot description
is far too long, and would profit from hitting the high points and cutting the play-by-play. I have done a little basic copy-editing, but see this as requiring more time than I am willing to spend. JNW 20:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Speaking as someone who hasn't seen the movie, I find the description is difficult to follow. For example, "When Markinson unexpectedly shows up in the back seat of Danny's car after a bad trial day, Kaffee sees a ray of hope and plans to put him on the stand as a witness to the true course of events." Are they talking about three people here, or two? 76.19.66.118 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 01:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I've replaced the 2300-word summary from an older revision of the article . At 800 words, this isn't as short as it could be, but I think it's more readable and it's more in keeping with Wikipedia's style. --Tony Sidaway 06:05, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Removed fact tag
The statement, "Marines do not salute whilst indoors, unless under arms (ie, carrying a weapon and wearing cover)." was labeled with a Fact tag. I removed it, because this is something elementary that every soldier in the United States knows. I'm sure that a citation could easily be found for it, but IMVHO it doesn't need to be because it's a case of drive-by tagging. 98.215.48.213 (talk) 14:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC) A Marine under arms can be as simple as a marine wearing a war belt (tight belt worn ourside the blouse) signifing he is on-duty. In this case and this case only does a Marine ware a cover inside. Having a cover on therefor he must salute a superior - however that superior will not salute back as he/she has no cover on in doors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.89.240.82 (talk) 12:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Article Seperation
The film and the play should have their own separate articles. They are different enough to justifiy seperating them. 61.72.47.41 (talk) 12:45, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I concur--Levineps (talk) 18:00, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Ranks
Is it normal, in the USN JAG, for the lead counsel (LTJG Kaffee) to be out-ranked by his junior counsel (LCDR Galloway). Is this an error of the writer or is it explained somewhere? Avalon (talk) 06:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Confabulation
Regarding your question about Talk:Confabulation, I don't know the answer. It sounds to me to be more of a philisophical question than a psychological question. Clearly, if they have confabulated something, then they couldn't have helped but do it. But I really don't know too much about the phenomenon to give you a better answer than that. Maybe you could research the issue and expand the article, then I'd read it and we'd both know the answer :). Anyway, your question on my talk page was fine except for two things: 1) it's good to link to the page in question from your comment so that the person knows what you're talking about (remember it has been a couple of months since I made that comment, at first I didn't remember it and thought you must have confused me with someone else), and 2) It's good to sign your posts with four tildes (described above) so that the reader knows who to respond to.

Edward Wollstonecraft

Edward Wollstonecraft (, ; 1783 – 7 December 1832) was a successful businessman in early colonial Australia, settling in what is now Sydney. He was the nephew of the early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and cousin to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the author of Frankenstein.

Life
Edward Wollstonecraft was born to a London solicitor of the same name, the eldest brother of Mary Wollstonecraft. One of the reasons the young man sought to build a life away from England was to escape the notoriety which attached to his aunt, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. In 1812, while travelling from Lisbon to Cadiz, he met Alexander Berry, with whom he later formed a trading partnership, intending to operate in the colony of New South Wales. The two men shared lodgings in Cadiz while the city was under siege; they also lived together in London from 1815 to 1819, with Wollstonecraft's sister Elizabeth as part of their household; the couple eventually married.

Wollstonecraft arrived in Sydney on board the ship Grenada on 31 August 1819. He received a land grant from Governor Lachlan Macquarie for 2,000 acres (8 km²), 500 acres (2 km²) of which were located on the north shore of Port Jackson running from what is now to the foreshore. A warehouse was erected in George Street, Sydney, under the name of "Berry and Wollstonecraft".

In 1822, Wollstonecraft and Berry were granted 10,000 acres (40 km²) of land on the Shoalhaven River (now the site of Coolangatta Estate) on the condition that they took responsibility for a hundred convicts. They built Australia's first canal there, with the assistance of Hamilton Hume and a party of convicts. The 209 yard long canal was completed in 12 days. The crops farmed at Shoalhaven included native cedar and tobacco, which were sold at considerable profit both to the growing colony at Sydney and for export. The property at Shoalhaven grew to 40,000 acres (162 km²) under Berry's management, while Wollstonecraft looked after business in Sydney.

Edward Wollstonecraft was active in local affairs, and involved in a number of societies and organisations in the colony. These included the Philosophical Society of Australasia (now the Royal Society of New South Wales), of which he was a founding member, and the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales, serving as steward and secretary during the 1820s. In 1822, he was appointed senior director of the Bank of New South Wales and chairman of the first chamber of commerce. He was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1824.

Death and legacy
Edward Wollstonecraft suffered ill health and died on 7 December 1832, aged 49. He was buried in the Sydney Burial Ground in Elizabeth Street. When his sister Elizabeth, Berry's wife, died, Berry constructed a tomb near St Thomas' Anglican Church, North Sydney, and Edward's remains were moved there. The tomb is still standing, and the graveyard of the church is now St Thomas' Rest Park.

The suburb of Wollstonecraft is named after him. He built a cottage on the north shore of Sydney Harbour in 1820 which he called Crows Nest. This later became the name of a larger house and estate on the same site. The suburb of Crows Nest is named after the house and estate.
