Talk:Glenn Cornick

Untitled
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if memory serves his name is Cormick, not Cornick. (It's possible though that it's just the McCormick spices that blur my memory. Ah, yea, I'd check my LP collection would technology not killed the good 'ol vinyl record and force me to sell my beautiful collection and then illegally download it to CD-R's...)
 * Definitely Cornick - see the link to his official site - or any album credit. Dburgess 04:00, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Wild Turkey opening for Black Sabbath
I heard an old radio ad for a Black Sabbath tour on YouTube and it says that the opening act for the tour was "Wild Turkey, a new group from former Jethro Tull bassist, Glenn Cornick". I added that Wild Turkey, toured in support of Black Sabbath.--Hailey 17:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Wild Turkey did open for Jethro Tull on Tull's 1972 tour, and that bit of information would be more relevant since there is a stronger connection between these two groups, but this is an article about Glenn Cornick, not Wild Turkey. TheScotch (talk) 18:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Separation from Jethro Tull
Why did he leave that band? The Sanity Inspector (talk) 17:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Glenn Cornick was fired from Jethro Tull for unprofessional demeaner on the road, which is to say, more or less, partying. Martin Barre said that Cornick would dangle his hotel keys, with room number visible, on stage so as to entice groupies. Cornick's replacement was Jeffrey Hammond, one of Ian Anderson's best friends, and I'd guess that to some extent Anderson just preferred to have his friend with him in the group, more or less in the way that John Lennon really wanted Stu Sutcliff with him in the Beatles. TheScotch (talk) 19:57, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Date of Death
According to his son, he died on Thursday August 28,2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.34.211 (talk) 13:27, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Zoë Lund

Zoë Tamerlis Lund (February 9, 1962 – April 16, 1999), also known as Zoë Tamerlis and Zoë Tamerlaine, was an American musician, model, actress, author, producer, political activist and screenwriter. She was best known for her association in two films with film director Abel Ferrara: Ms .45 (1981), in which she starred, and Bad Lieutenant (1992), for which she co-wrote the screenplay.

Early life
Lund was born Zoë Tamerlis on February 9, 1962 to mother Barbara Lekberg (née Hult), an American sculptor of Swedish descent, and Victor Tamerlis, a rare-books seller of Romanian descent. She dropped out of college.

Career
At a young age, Lund was an accomplished composer and musician; but the power of celluloid took a firmer grasp. "I could write a concerto with 17 violins that could be very powerful, but film works on a more visceral level where I can go into the collective audience and make sure my point gets across." Lund was also a pianist.

Ms .45
Lund made her debut in Abel Ferrara's Ms .45 (1981). She was only 17 years old during the making of the film.

Lund said in an interview that she had a lot of input manifesting the character: "In the beginning stages of the film, the only material that existed was vague descriptions of several scenes. Being that my face is on camera, without dialogue, for something like 98% of the time, I was involved very much. As to the film being pro-woman, I go beyond that by saying that the film is as much pro-woman as it is pro-garment worker, whatever."

Although it was not an immediate success, Ms .45 eventually became a cult film in later years.

1980s work
Not wanting to become part of what she called "Abel's stable", she marked her own career path.

Three years after Ms .45 was released in 1981, Lund got her second chance to star in a movie, this time in a role that required her to play two different roles. Special Effects was written and directed by Larry Cohen. In it he cast Lund as a wannabe starlet who is murdered on film by a fallen director portrayed by Eric Bogosian, who then finds a lookalike to take her place in the movie he decides to make around the snuff footage. As the starlet, Lund's voice was dubbed by another actress, meaning it wasn't until an hour into her second movie that audiences finally got to hear her distinctly New Yorker inflections (Lund's character in Ms .45 was mute).

Lund also appeared in an episode of Miami Vice, which was directed by Paul Michael Glaser and titled "Prodigal Son". She later appeared in The Houseguest (1989) and Temístocles López's Exquisite Corpses (1989). Lund even appeared in the ABC series Hothouse.

Bad Lieutenant
Despite her reluctance to be identified too closely with Ferrara's work, Lund collaborated with Ferrara again on Bad Lieutenant (1992), which she co-wrote. Lund also agreed to appear in the film, playing the woman who helps Harvey Keitel's title character smoke heroin.

According to Lund, "There was a lot of rewriting done on the set. Two other characters were cut, and my character modulated and took on more and more. A lot of things had to be changed and improvised. The vampire speech – which is crucial to the Lieutenant – was written two minutes before it was shot. I memorized it and did it in one take. The speech is important because she is acute in knowing the journey the Lieutenant makes. She shoots him up, sends him off, knowing of his passion, she lets him go."

Lund said in an interview that Bad Lieutenant was the most personal film she had ever acted in. She also claims in another interview that she wrote the screenplay all by herself. She also claimed that she co-directed several scenes in Bad Lieutenant.

Later career
As a director, Lund made two shorts: The Innocent Tribunal (1986) and Hot Ticket (1996). She also wrote the pilot episode of FBI: The Untold Stories.

Lund worked on unproduced screenplays about famous drug addicts such as John Holmes and Gia Carangi. Lund attempted to publish several novels, including Curfew: USA and 490: A Trilogy and Kingdom for a Horse. A film adaptation of Curfew: USA and the screenplay about Holmes were both projects that Ferrara had considered filming. Other unproduced screenplays that have been credited as Lund's works included Last Night of Summer and Free Will and Testament.

Although she had never met supermodel Gia Carangi, she was working on a biographical screenplay of Carangi's life at the time of her death, and she appeared posthumously in the documentary The Self-Destruction of Gia.

According to Abel Ferrara: "...one time in the 90s, we were going to try to do Pasolini's story but only with Zoe as Pasolini; a female director living the life that Pasolini lived." However, her death led to a fifteen-year hiatus with the project until Ferrara's film Pasolini (2014) was released. In 1996, Lund also wrote the first draft of New Rose Hotel (1998).

Aliases
Lund lived and worked under many names such as Vanessa Lancaster and Tamara Tamarind.

Drug addiction
Lund was unapologetic about her heroin addiction. She wrote at length about heroin and advocated it for legal recreational use in the United States, as well as romanticized its effects. "She loved heroin, she was killed by heroin," Ferrara said on her heroin addiction. "...Zoe was one of these people who thought heroin was the greatest thing in the world, and she did until the day she died. She was down on coke, down on everything, but you know, heroin was the elixir of life for her."

"I've known a lot of serious drug users, but Zoë was Queen," Richard Hell, a friend of Lund's, recalled in 2002. "You've got to admire someone as committed to it as she was. She didn't just LOVE heroin, she believed in it."

Religion
Lund said in an interview, "...I never lost my religion. I have always had a certain increasing awareness of religion...I do believe that the Gospel is the ultimate story. What is amazing about the book is that over the millennia, the gospel has become so refined to the point where the Christ story does present a very refined and highly charged model for the search for truth. We can use the book as a basis for our own path to spirituality and grace."

Relationships
From 1979 to 1986, she was the companion of Edouard de Laurot. After Laurot's death in 1993, Lund bequeathed the manuscript of a novel Laurot had written to Jonas Mekas.

In 1986, she started dating her future husband, Robert Lund. They lived together in an apartment located on 10th Street, and according to Paul Rachman, the Lunds reportedly owned "dozens of roaming pet rats." The couple were married on October 31, 1986, at the NYC Municipal Building with one witness in attendance, their friend Lenny Ferrari. That same year, Lund got an abortion.

Although they never got divorced, Lund and her husband separated in 1997 when the former moved to Paris where she lived with "her new boyfriend" until her death in 1999.

Death
Lund died in Paris on April 16, 1999, of heart failure, due to extended cocaine use, which replaced her long-term heroin use after her move to Paris in 1997. She was 37.

Legacy
In 2007, experimental group Bodega System released the album Blood Pyx. The cover features Lund as photographed by her widower, Robert Lund.

In the early 2000s, American Hardcore director Paul Rachman made two documentary shorts about Lund's life: Zoe XO (2004) and Zoe Rising (2009). In the former short, Robert Lund discusses their relationship, while in the latter Zoë's mother Barbara Lekberg focuses more on her childhood.

Abel Ferrara said of Lund in a 2012 interview, "Zoë was a brilliant, creative person before the drugs, the drugs just killed her."

Constantin von Alvensleben

Reimar Constantin von Alvensleben (26 August 1809 – 28 March 1892) was a Prussian (and later Imperial German) general.

Born at Eichenbarleben in the Province of Saxony, Alvensleben entered the Prussian Guards from the cadet corps as a second lieutenant on 27 July 1827. He became first lieutenant on 14 August 1842, captain on 19 September 1848, and major on the Great General Staff on 18 June 1853, whence after seven years he went to the Ministry of War. He was soon afterwards promoted colonel, and commanded a regiment of Guard infantry up to 1864, when he became a major-general after the Second Schleswig War.

Alvensleben commanded a brigade of guards in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. At the action of Soor (Burkersdorf) on 28 June, he distinguished himself greatly, and at the Battle of Königgrätz where he led the advanced guard of the Guards Corps, his energy and initiative were still more conspicuous. Soon afterwards he succeeded to the command of his division, General Wilhelm Hiller von Gärtringen having fallen in the battle; he was promoted lieutenant-general, and retained this command after the conclusion of peace, receiving in addition the order Pour le Mérite for his services.

In 1870, on the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, Alvensleben succeeded Prince Friedrich Karl in command of the III Army Corps, which formed part of the 2nd German army. But his questionable judgment with ill-considered attacks at Vionville-Mars-la-Tour resulted in heavy casualties. Shortly before his death in 1892 he was awarded the Order of the Black Eagle.

The Prussian Infantry Regiment Nr. 52 in Cottbus was named von Alvensleben in his honour.

Calcutta Light Horse

The Calcutta Light Horse was raised in 1872 and formed part of the Cavalry Reserve in the British Indian Army. The regiment was disbanded following India's independence in 1947.

Operation Creek
On reserve since the Boer War, they are most noted for their part (with members of the Calcutta Scottish) in Operation Creek against the German merchant ship . The operation was organised by SOE's India Mission. It was kept covert, to avoid the political ramifications of contravening Portuguese neutrality in Goa, and was not revealed until thirty-five years afterwards, in 1978. The Ehrenfels was known to be transmitting information on Allied ship movements to U-boats from Mormugao harbour in Portugal's neutral territory of Goa.

The Light Horse embarked on the barge Phoebe at Calcutta and sailed around India to Goa. After the Ehrenfels was sunk in March 1943 by the team of British saboteurs, British intelligence dispatched an open message over the air falsely warning that the British would invade Goa. The crews of the other two German merchant ships in the harbour, the Drachenfels and Braunfels, received the message and scuttled their ships in Goa's harbour in the belief that they were protecting their ships from capture by the British. Italian ships in the harbour were also destroyed. In 1951 all three German merchant ships were salvaged.

As the end credits of the 1980 film The Sea Wolves state, "during the first 11 days of March 1943, U-boats sank 12 Allied ships in the Indian Ocean. After the Light Horse raid on Goa, only one ship was lost in the remainder of the month."

Members

 * Honorary Colonel Louis Mountbatten (1947)
 * Colonel Archie Pugh 1890-1922 (1912-1922 as Colonel)
 * Colonel Bill Grice
 * Colonel John Pugh
 * Corporal John Raymond
 * Sir Owain Jenkins
 * Ralph Wesley Dennis

Media
In 1978 James Leasor wrote an account of the Ehrenfels mission in the book Boarding Party: The Last Charge of the Calcutta Light Horse. The film The Sea Wolves based on the book was made in 1980, with actors David Niven, Gregory Peck, Trevor Howard, Roger Moore and Patrick Macnee.

Legacy

 * The Light Horse Bar at the Saturday Club in Kolkata is named after the regiment. The club was founded in 1878 and is located on Wood Street. The bar houses a collection of regimental memorabilia.
 * The Calcutta Light Horse Bar at the Oriental Club in London is named after the regiment.
 * British Eventing presents a Calcutta Light Horse Trophy to the owner of the British horse gaining the highest number of points during a horse racing season.

Category talk:LGBT musicians

Subcategorization
To make this subcategory a little more manageable, and to make it unnecessary to put every article in here under Category:Gay, lesbian or bisexual people as well, I've broken this up into multiple subcategories. People tend not to like this category because a sterile FLA isn't immediately understandable to all, thus they engage in wide categorization. In the cases where it is not obvious which category they belong in (either unacknowledged or unknown) I'm leaving them in this category (like tranny drag queens and determinedly uncategorizable pansexuals, or just relatively obscure people for which information isn't readily available). Cleduc 01:48, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show

"The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" is the fourteenth episode of the eighth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 9, 1997. In the episode, The Itchy & Scratchy Show attempts to regain lost viewers by introducing a new character named Poochie, voiced by Homer. The episode is largely self-referential and satirizes the world of television production, fans of The Simpsons, and the series itself. It was written by David X. Cohen and directed by Steven Dean Moore. Alex Rocco is a credited guest voice as Roger Meyers Jr. for the third and final time (having previously provided the character's voice in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" and "The Day the Violence Died"); Phil Hartman also guest stars as Troy McClure. Poochie would become a minor recurring character and Comic Book Guy's catchphrase, "Worst episode ever", is introduced in this episode.

With this episode, the show's 167th episode, The Simpsons surpassed The Flintstones in the number of episodes produced for a prime-time animated series, which had 166 episodes.

Plot
Krusty the Clown threatens to stop broadcasting The Itchy & Scratchy Show because the cartoon causes his ratings to nosedive during that segment of his show. Cartoon producer Roger Meyers Jr. convenes a focus group to discover why The Itchy & Scratchy Show has lost its appeal. In the focus group, Lisa explains that the characters have lost their impact on audiences after being on the air for so long.

Meyers decides that the cartoon needs a new character: Poochie, a dog with an "attitude" who surfs, raps, and plays electric guitar. At Bart and Lisa's suggestion, Homer auditions for Poochie's voice and gets the part. To promote Poochie, he and voice actor June Bellamy (the voice of Itchy and Scratchy) make several publicity stops, where they encounter the show's hardcore fans. Homer invites his friends and relatives to watch the first Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show. However, the cartoon largely consists of Poochie spouting meaningless buzzwords and showing off, with none of the show's trademark violence. Unimpressed by the manic Poochie character, Homer's friends say little as they leave.

Meyers decides to kill off Poochie, but Homer resolves to save him. In the next recording session, Homer goes off-script and implores the audience to give Poochie a chance. The show's production team appears moved by Homer's plea. However, when the episode airs, Meyers has dubbed over Homer's voice, Poochie gets clumsily removed from the short, and a handwritten intertitle explains, "Poochie died on the way back to his home planet." The studio audience cheers as Krusty displays an affidavit swearing Poochie will never return. Homer feels betrayed but attributes the affair to the fickle nature of show business. The network then runs classic Itchy & Scratchy; Bart and Lisa laugh before deciding to watch something else.

Production
"The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" was written by David X. Cohen and directed by Steven Dean Moore. The episode was conceived as a commentary on what it was like to work on a television show that had long been on the air, but was considered to be nearing its end. This was intended to show that The Simpsons could still be good after eight seasons, even though it no longer had the "shock value" it did in the early years. Before production of season eight began, several executives at Fox suggested the staff add a new character to the show, who would live with the Simpsons on a permanent basis, in a bid to freshen up the series. The writers found the suggestion, usually considered a sign of desperation to boost a flagging series, amusing, therefore much of the episode revolves around this trope. Parallel to the episode's main plot, where Poochie is introduced on The Itchy & Scratchy Show to boost its ratings, the writers inserted the one-time character Roy, a college-aged man who is shown to be living with the Simpsons, with no explanation as to his character or presence, as a reference to the executives' proposal. Roy was originally conceived for the "Time and Punishment" segment of the season six episode "Treehouse of Horror V", living with the Simpsons in one of the alternate realities, as a second, teenage son in the family.

Cohen's initial vision for Poochie was that he would be annoying to fans because he was wealthy, aloof and unlikeable. In the episode's DVD commentary he read his script for the first cartoon featuring Itchy, Scratchy, and Poochie: Itchy and Scratchy are laborers in Poochie's gold mine. Poochie sits on a velvet throne surrounded by bags of money. He drinks champagne as he whips Itchy and Scratchy and lectures them on the value of hard work in a capitalist society. Finally, Itchy and Scratchy get fed up and plan their revenge. They decide Scratchy will present a fake money bag to Poochie. Itchy will secretly be hiding in the bag. When Poochie raises the bag to inhale the sweet smell of money, Itchy will jab him in the nose with a syringe of poison. Itchy gets in the bag and Scratchy presents it to Poochie, but the plan backfires because Poochie is offended by how small the money bag is. To demonstrate how worthless it is to him, he sets it on fire and uses it to light his cigar. Itchy's flaming skeleton falls out of the burning bag, and the syringe lands on Scratchy's toe and kills him, too. Poochie says, "Oh, well, I can always use my millions of dollars to hire more workers. That's the power of money." The end.

As with other episodes centering on the production of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, such as "The Front", the show's staff are shown. Almost all of them are based on the actual staff of The Simpsons. In the first scene at the production table the person in the lower right corner, wearing a squid T-shirt, is Cohen. On the left side, the furthest away is Bill Oakley with Josh Weinstein next to him. Next to Weinstein is George Meyer, who is the writer who speaks out and gets fired. The animator shown designing Poochie is supervising director David Silverman. As Silverman plays the tuba, one was drawn into the background of the scene. Other writers who appear include Dan McGrath, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Donick Cary, Ron Hauge, Ned Goldreyer, and Mike Scully, who had to be added in later, as the animators did not have a photo to use as a likeness.

This episode also features the first use of Comic Book Guy's catchphrase "Worst. Episode. Ever.", which was taken from the alt.tv.simpsons newsgroup.

Themes
This episode saw The Simpsons surpass The Flintstones for the number of episodes produced for an animated series. The episode therefore deals with the issue of longevity and the problems that arise when the producers try to make a show "fresh" again. The show mainly deals with themes commonly known as "jumping the shark", instances that usually occur when a failing show adds a new character or major plot twist to boost ratings. The first theme is a commentary on adding a new character, when the show has run for too long. Usually, this is a technique used in shows that involve children who have grown up. This was the case with Oliver on The Brady Bunch and Luke Brower on Growing Pains. The technique is also used in cartoons, notably with the addition of Scrappy-Doo to the Scooby-Doo animated series ten years after its debut. Both Poochie and Roy are used to reflect this by attempting to keep The Itchy and Scratchy Show and the Simpson family fresh respectively.

Another theme is the notion of network executives forcing ideas onto a show. The interaction between the writers and the network executives in the episode underscore the differences between them. The writers understand the show's inner workings, but the network executives approach improvements to the show from a business point of view. They try to incorporate what they see as a rebellious character with the comment "This is popular with the kids", but the viewers later reject the character. The writers themselves are satirized in the episode, and are depicted as lazy and pretentious with few original ideas.

The last theme is the viewer backlash and obsession with internal consistency. When Comic Book Guy sees the Poochie episode, he immediately goes on the Internet and writes "Worst episode ever" on a message board; a commentary on how the active audience nit picks the episode. The writers respond by using the voice of Bart:

 * Bart: Hey, I know it wasn't great, but what right do you have to complain?
 * Comic Book Guy: As a loyal viewer, I feel they owe me.
 * Bart: What? They've given you thousands of hours of entertainment for free. What could they possibly owe you? I mean, if anything, you owe them!
 * Comic Book Guy: ...Worst episode ever.

Earlier in the episode, Homer and June Bellamy attend an in-store appearance as part of the promotion for the new character Poochie. They are asked a question of internal consistency, like the show's fans do all the time; Homer says to the fan who asks the question, "Why would a man whose shirt says 'Genius at Work' spend all his time watching a children's cartoon show?" This is again a reflection on how the writers feel about the fans obsessing about internal consistency.

Cultural references
The original opening couch gag shows a pastiche of the cover collage from the Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which was first used earlier in the season for "Bart After Dark". Otherwise, the episode refers to other TV shows, including the syndicated couch gag featuring the Flintstone family, recycled from the season four episode "Kamp Krusty", to mark The Simpsons surpassing The Flintstones as the longest-running animated series.

Roy calls Homer and Marge Mr. and Mrs. S, which echoes Fonzie calling the Cunninghams "Mr. and Mrs. C" on Happy Days. Later, he decides to move in with "two sexy ladies", recalling Jack Tripper in Three's Company. The backwards ball cap and untucked checkered shirt worn by Poochie and Roy closely resemble costuming used by the thematically similar Growing Pains character Luke Brower.

Homer hiding in the closet to hear what the network executives were planning to do with Poochie is a reference to Jay Leno reportedly eavesdropping on a conversation between NBC executives on whether he or David Letterman would replace Johnny Carson as the host of The Tonight Show.

Itchy and Scratchy are based on Tom and Jerry and other cat-and-mouse cartoons. As a boy, series creator Matt Groening and his friends would fantasize about an ultra-violent cartoon and how much fun it would be to work on a show like that. June Bellamy is a tribute to voice actress June Foray. In the episode, Bellamy claims that she provided the "Beep, beep" sound effect in the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons; in reality the phrase was voiced by Paul Julian.

Reception
In its original American broadcast, "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" finished tied for 38th place in the weekly ratings for the week of February 3–9, 1997, with a Nielsen rating of 8.8. It was the third-highest-rated show on the Fox Network that week. This episode was placed 23rd on Entertainment Weekly's top 25 The Simpsons episodes list.

Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, the authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, praised "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", calling it "a very neat episode which, like "The Front", is a good parody of the cartooning business." In 2007, Vanity Fair named it the sixth-best episode in the show's history, describing it as "a classic satire of network influence, obsessed TV fans, and programs that survive long after the shark has been jumped, the episode is a meta-celebration, a tongue-in-cheek rebuttal to everyone who claimed that the quality of The Simpsons had declined over the years."

Todd Gilchrist called it a masterpiece, stating it "could easily be packaged and sold by [itself]". Planet Simpson author Chris Turner describes the episode as "the most contentious and direct counterattack The Simpsons ever unleashed on its fans" and "[harsh] satire of the working world of big-time TV production". Robert Canning of IGN said it was "laugh-out-loud funny" and describing the introduction of Roy as "a hilarious parody of a classic, overused television device." Alan Sepinwall, then of The Star-Ledger, in a review printed two days after the episode originally aired, praised the writers for not airing a "very special" episode to celebrate the milestone of overtaking The Flintstones. He noted "[the episode is] so self-aware it put the best in-jokes on St. Elsewhere to shame."

The BBC named it as one of the ten most memorable episodes of the show, noting, "the writers used the opportunity to pay tribute to the art of animation and rail against network interference in their show." In 2014, The Simpsons writers picked "The Beagle Has Landed" as one of their nine favorite "Itchy & Scratchy" episodes of all time. Time ranked the episode second in its list of 10 best Simpsons episodes selected by Simpsons experts five years later. Comic Book Guy's phrase "Worst. Episode. Ever" was named by The A.V. Club as a quote that could be used in everyday life, as well as being one of the most popular quotes from the show. In that same publication, Erik Adams wrote that the episode "portrays a contentious relationship, and it does so as honestly and entertainingly as The Simpsons might portray any given relationship between the residents of Springfield. It’s a landmark episode in every sense of the term, the type that human Poochie Roy can only hope he lucks into after he moves in with those two sexy ladies. (Note: Roy died on the way to the apartment he shared with two sexy ladies.)"

Talk:List of U.S. minimum wages

I'm confused
If the federal minimum wage is 7.25, then how come some states have it lower? 198.53.106.37 (talk) 07:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

 * It's because some states set their own limit, apart from the federal limit. It's the same reasoning other states even have it higher than the federal one. That-Vela-Fella (talk) 11:31, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The federal minimum wage should supersede the state minimum wage according to all applicable law. South Bay (talk) 12:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree, it Should supercede If the state min is lower--unless it's some juvenile apprentice program or something. It take More than $7.25 an hour to live Anywhere in the US, especially CA and NYC.Tintinteslacoil (talk) 16:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Only if the law is applicable to those businesses that are not under the federal system does the state limit comes into play. Not all workplaces in all the states fall under the federal criteria. That-Vela-Fella (talk) 12:52, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

 * You seem quite knowledgable on the subject, so could you please write something in the article or the main article about it? --Harel Newman (talk) 07:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

It's already generally mentioning on top of the article on it, as saying "If the job is not subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, then state, city, or other local laws may determine the minimum wage." How much more is required & other sources not already on there is needed? That-Vela-Fella (talk) 10:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

 * In the case Missouri, it's because in Nov 2006 the voters approved an initive that increased the state minimum wage with a provision to annually adjust the rate once a year. That was followed by Congress in 2007 raising the federal minimum wage in a series of three steps that resulted in July 2009 of the federal minimum wage crossing above the state one. Also in the case of Missouri, employers must pay those subject to FLSA the higher of the state minimum wage and the federal one, but for employers exempt from FLSA but subject to the state wage law, they only need to pay their employees the state one. Jon (talk) 20:35, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Read this to understand when the federal minimum wage applies (just the first paragraph). By the way, commerce is defined as trade, commerce, transportation, transmission, or communication among the several States or between any State and any place outside thereof, and State also means D.C. and territories.

Map, American Samoa?
I noticed A.S. in orange, yet no key to this color. On reading article, I learn it varies. Please put this in the key to the map.

What about the Phillipines, the Marianas Islands, Guantanamo, the canal Zone? (or, was the the C.Z. given back to Panama?)Tintinteslacoil (talk) 16:39, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

A.S. being the only odd one of the rest, I'll put the color code in then. Aside from the Northern Marianas (already mentioned with the other territories), the C.Z. was given back in 1999, the Philippines has the peso (independent since 1946!) and Guantanamo is strictly a federal military base.That-Vela-Fella (talk) 11:54, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

California: San Francisco Minimum Wage Ordinance and Exempt Workers
I don't see anything in the SF Minimum Wage Ordinance that requires that exempt workers have be paid double the minimum wage. And I can't find any other resources stating that, either.

My understanding from a payroll service provider is that a lot of startup cofounders pay themselves (40 x minimum_wage) per week as exempt workers.

Anyone have any more information about this? Otherwise I'll delete that note.

Glaugh (talk) 19:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC) (I'm new, sorry if I'm doing anything wrong here)

 * I did a bit of going back (over 2 years worth of edits to be exact) to find out this situation as how it came about. Found out it was originally saying under an order, specifically "IWC Order No. 4-2001 1,A,1,f" and with a quick google search, found this link http://www.dir.ca.gov/iwc/Wage_orders_January2001/IWCArticle4.html that states: '''1. Applicability of Order. This order shall apply to all persons employed in professional, technical, clerical, mechanical, and similar occupations whether paid on a time, piece rate, commission, or other basis, except that:

(A) Provisions of Sections 3 through 12 shall not apply to persons employed in administrative, executive, or professional capacities. The following requirements shall apply in determining whether an employee’s duties meet the test to qualify for an exemption from those sections:'''

And the same saying under subsections 1 (f), 2 (g) & 3 (d)- '''Such an employee must also earn a monthly salary equivalent to no less than two (2) times the state minimum wage for full-time employment. Full-time employment is defined in Labor Code Section 515(c) as 40 hours per week.'''

So that is the reason, although I'm not sure if it had since changed or if it should be removed or properly re-worded with the source link to reflect what's there now.That-Vela-Fella (talk) 22:06, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Fred Russell

Fred Russell (August 27, 1906 – January 26, 2003) was an American sportswriter from Tennessee who served as sports editor for the Nashville Banner newspaper for 68 years (1930–1998). He was a member of the Heisman Trophy Committee, president of the Football Writers Association of America and a member of several sports-related Halls of Fame. He served for nearly 30 years as chairman of the College Football Hall of Fame Honors Court, a group responsible for selecting College Football Hall of Fame members. Known for his sense of humor and story-telling ability, Russell authored several books about sports and sports humor. Over his career he wrote over 12,000 sports columns under the title, "Sideline Sidelights".

Russell was a long-time friend and protégé of fellow sportswriter and Vanderbilt University alumnus Grantland Rice. Vanderbilt established the "Fred Russell–Grantland Rice Sportswriting Scholarship" in their honor. For over fifty years, the scholarship has attracted some of the nation's top journalistic talent. As a young reporter, he interviewed Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Lou Gehrig. Outliving most of his contemporaries, he counted as friends many sports greats of the twentieth century, including Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Red Grange, Sparky Anderson, Bobby Knight, Bear Bryant, Archie Manning and George Steinbrenner. He died in 2003 at age 96.

Early life
Born in 1906, Russell grew up in Wartrace, Tennessee, about 50 miles southeast of Nashville, on the main line of the railroad to Chattanooga. His parents were John E. Russell and Mable Lee McFerrin Russell, who in 1920 moved the family to Nashville. John E. Russell Jr. was his older brother, who died in 1961. Russell's father started a newspaper, the Wartrace Tribune, but it was short-lived; he became a salesman for a wholesale grocery company and traveled the middle Tennessee territory with a horse and buggy in his early career. Russell’s mother was a music composer and author of the "Vanderbilt University Waltz". Russell attended Nashville's Duncan College Preparatory School for Boys, which was located at a site now occupied by Vanderbilt University's Memorial Gymnasium. Even from his youngest days, Russell had loved the sports pages. He wanted a job as a newspaper office boy, but it only paid three dollars per week and he could make much more by working at a soda fountain downtown at the United Cigar Store. One of his best friends around the cigar store was Phil Harris, whose father was a musician at the adjacent Knickerbocker Theater. Russell saved enough money over a year to enter Vanderbilt in the fall of 1923. He was a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, and a varsity baseball player. He played second base and pitched. He attended Vanderbilt Law School, passed the state bar exam, and was listed in the class of 1929. He did legal work at a title company for 18 months and found out pretty quickly that "it was not the most exciting kind of work". He was offered a job at the Nashville Banner ; first writing obituaries, then working the police beat, then covering Vanderbilt football. Regarding the football coverage Russell said, “I got the luckiest break in the world in June of '29. . . in weeks, I knew that I never wanted to do anything else."  The following year, he became the sports editor of the Banner, replacing Ralph McGill who left to go to the Atlanta Constitution. Russell would be a member of the Banner staff until the paper closed in 1998. Over the next 68 years, Russell wrote over 12,000 columns, most of them in his weekly column "Sideline Sidelights " later shortened to simply "Sidelines".

The Saturday Evening Post
Russell's career began in the so-called Golden Age of sports—a period beginning about the 1920s when newspapers and radio were a prominent form of media and news. The events Russell regularly covered were: college football; amateur and pro baseball; the Masters Golf Tournament; the Kentucky Derby; championship boxing; college football bowl games, including The Sugar Bowl and The Rose Bowl; and The Olympic Games (1960–1976). Russell gained national exposure in the mid-twentieth century for writing a widely-read annual college football article, the "Pigskin Preview", for The Saturday Evening Post. His relationship with the Post began when the magazine wanted to do a story on the University of Tennessee's new football coach, Bob Neyland, who had in 1939 created arguably one of the greatest football teams ever assembled: undefeated, untied, and un-scored-upon in the regular season. The magazine wanted a southern writer, and chose Russell. His article, "Touchdown Engineer" appeared in the issue leading up to the highly anticipated 1940 Rose Bowl (Tennessee vs. USC) and put Russell on the national scene in sportswriting. The article's popularity led the Post to hire him to write the Pigskin Preview series each year from 1949 to 1962.

Sportswriting scholarship
Grantland Rice was an influential pioneer of the sportswriting world and he was Russell's boyhood idol. They first met in the 1930s and remained longtime friends even though Rice was 26 years older. They were both raised in Nashville and both graduates of Vanderbilt University. Rice worked for about three years at the Tennessean from 1907 to 1910. In May 1954, when Rice was in declining health, Russell recalled a memorable lunch with him at Rice's regular corner table at Toots Shor's restaurant in New York. With sportswriter Bill Corum, they swapped stories extending all afternoon until five o'clock with Schor himself in on some of them. When Rice died two months later, Russell and Corum developed the idea of creating a Rice scholarship and, in 1956, the Grantland Rice Scholarship at Vanderbilt was begun. Endowed by the Thoroughbred Racing Association (TRA), the scholarship is awarded annually to an incoming first-year student with an interest in sportswriting. The rules do not require recipients to be sportswriters; in addition, Vanderbilt did not have a school of journalism. From the beginning, Russell was involved in the administration and selection process of the scholarship. In 1986, after Russell had been closely managing the endeavor for 30 years, Charles J. Cella, a past president of the TRA, further endowed the scholarship with a $500,000 gift in honor of Russell, changing its name to the Fred Russell-Grantland Rice Sportswriting Scholarship. For over fifty years, the scholarship has attracted some of the nation's top journalistic talent coming out of high school. Some of the more well-known recipients have included Skip Bayless, Roy Blount, and Andrew Maraniss. The scholarship fell on hard times in the 1990s when the university reduced the award to $10,000 yearly to prolong the life of scholarship. With rising tuition costs, the later scholarship was roughly one quarter of the full package earlier recipients received.

College Football Hall of Fame
For nearly three decades, Russell was the chairman of the National Football Foundation (NFF)'s "Honors Court" which oversees the College Football Hall of Fame. The organization was founded in 1947, and Russell became involved in it in the 1960s to become president in 1964. According to author Andrew Derr, the Honors Court is the most powerful group in college football. Russell served its chairman from 1964 to 1991, a role perfectly suited for him because he had, according to Derr, "an instinctive sense of fairness and prudence" along with significant experience in college football and relationships with the coaches and administrators. Derr said, "From Paul Bryant to Archie Manning, Frank Broyles to Lee Corso, Johnny Majors to Lou Holtz, Russell had relationships with all of them." A difficult decision came to Russell and the committee in 1959, when LSU's Heisman-Trophy winner Billy Cannon was scheduled to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but pleaded guilty to a counterfeiting operation after FBI agents recovered $5 million in bogus $100 bills buried on Cannon's property. Russell chose to rescind the hall of fame invitation. Cannon was eventually inducted in 2008.

Sense of humor
One of Russell's trademarks was his humorous and entertaining style of writing in his columns, books, speeches and stories. He was a unofficial ringleader of a group of friends who engaged in practical jokes, often ingeniously planned. New York Times sports columnist Red Smith said, "He is the first practical joker who never hurt anybody with his practical jokes". Many of these are chronicled in a book about Russell, Confessions of a Practical Joker, written by Jim Harwell. An example is an April Fools joke in 1965: Russell published a story on the front page of the Banner sports page on April 1 (April Fool's Day) reporting that newly-passed legislation would mean that the Natchez Trace Parkway would be built directly across the golf course of a Nashville country club of which Russell was a member. It was a skillfully-concocted story with a large map and details containing believable quotes from city officials. Such exaggerated April fools stories had become a yearly tradition in the newspaper at the time.

Russell authored three sports humor books, I'll Go Quietly (1944), I'll Try Anything Twice (1945) and Funny Thing About Sports (1948). During World War II, the American military distributed I'll Try Anything Twice to soldiers as one of 1300 titles in its Armed Services Editions.

The Banner vs. the Tennessean
In a two-newspaper town, competition between the journalists can be stiff. In Nashville, The Tennessean was the morning paper including Sundays; the Nashville Banner was the afternoon paper. In 1937, the two papers formed a Joint Operating Agreement to reduce costs by putting both in the same building and using the same printing presses. The result was that the competitors kept their separate editorial identities but worked in close proximity; the tension was palpable. Russell, the Banner sports editor, had sources on the inside happenings of Vanderbilt athletics and many more contacts nationally than did the Tennessean. Writing out his columns on his gray manual Royal typewriter, Russell's objectives were clear: get the story, protect your sources, and make sure nothing leaked from Saturday afternoon until Monday morning after the Tennessean hit the stands. If there was going to be a new coach hired, Russell knew it first, and possibly had a role in determining who the candidates would be. Tennessean reporter Jimmy Davy, who endured the underdog status longer than anyone at the Tennessean, said "That kind of influence drove us crazy. . . that he was so inside with everything."

Influence in various sports
In 1955, on Russell’s 25th Anniversary of writing at the Nashville Banner, the newspaper held an invitation-only gala for him that included more than 600 guests. The celebration included a host of sports personalities, writers and stars such as Bear Bryant, Red Smith, Bobby Jones, Jack Dempsey, Red Grange; the latter three gave speeches. Invitees included a senator, two congressmen, the mayor, General Neyland, the general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, the president of the Sugar Bowl, the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, and many coaches and athletes. As for the secret of Russell's success in having friendships with top sports figures, biographer Andrew Derr said, "Confidentiality was the foundation for that type of friendship, and Russell was unwavering in his ability to keep his word". College hall of fame player and coach Johnny Majors said, "You could talk off the record with him and you knew you wouldn't be reported unless he cleared it with you. I would tell something to him that I didn't want anybody else to know at the time. . ."

Boxing, horse racing, and golf
Russell covered major championship boxing and was a long-time friend of heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey. He covered more than 50 consecutive runnings of the Kentucky Derby. Russell covered the first Masters golf tournament in 1934 in Augusta, Georgia, and over 40 subsequent Masters'. He was a close friend of Bobby Jones (who preferred to be called "Bob"). Russell got to know him before Jones' golfing success, when Jones was a part owner of the Atlanta Crackers, a minor league baseball team. Like Russell, Jones was a great storyteller and this trait was part of the foundation for their friendship.

Football
Paul "Bear" Bryant was a friend of Russell's for close to a half-century. They first met in 1937 on a four-day train ride from Birmingham to Pasadena when University of Alabama went to play in the 1937 Rose Bowl. Bryant was an unknown at the time who had only recently graduated from the University of Alabama and had stayed on as an assistant coach there. They talked for hours on the trip and Bryant basically told his life story to Russell, who years later said, "I was never more favorably impressed by a young coach as I was by Bryant." Russell helped Bryant get a job as assistant coach at Vanderbilt in 1940. From this initial acquaintance, a friendship developed between the two men and they became trusted confidants over the years. Their wives became close and the couples visited their respective cities in the summer through the 1960s and 1970s. Bryant and his wife usually dined with the Russells before the annual Vanderbilt-Alabama games.

Baseball
As a baseball writer for 30 years in the middle of the 20th century, Russell often spent an entire month covering spring training in Florida each year. He often traveled with fellow sportswriter Red Smith, and they would frequently stay with players at venues such as the Soreno Hotel in St. Petersburg. After the games, their wives drove to the next town while the two men sat in the back seat with typewriters creating their columns. Sports Illustrated reported that in the 1930s, Russell interviewed Babe Ruth as Ruth played cards with Lou Gehrig. Russell as a young reporter also interviewed Ty Cobb. He spent the majority of his time covering the Yankees, and said "Casey Stengel was better than any show anywhere".

Track and field
Russell was one of the primary journalists who covered Tennessee State University, an HBCU, whose women's track team, the "Tigerbelles", achieved international acclaim in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. Wilma Rudolph, coached by TSU's Ed Temple, became the first American woman to win three gold medals in a single Olympics. Temple spent the 1950s building his program even though the historically black college had run-down facilities  and lacked scholarships. After Rudolph's olympic stardom, Temple said, "The biggest disappointment in all my 44 years was when we came back from Rome and [the university] didn't get a cent [for scholarships and facilities]" He confided his frustration to Russell who personally called the Governor of Tennessee, Buford Ellington and arranged for Temple to go downtown and meet with the governor. With Temple sitting in his office, Ellington phoned the commissioner of colleges and conditions at the university began to improve rapidly. When Wilma Rudolph died in 1980, Russell delivered her eulogy.

Awards and honors
Russell received numerous honors from sports organizations throughout his life. He was elected to the National Sports Media Association Hall of Fame and was a charter member of the Tennessee Sportswriters Hall of Fame. He received the Distinguished American Award given by the National Football Foundation (NFF). Two previous recipients were Vince Lombardi and Bob Hope.

Russell is a past president of the Football Writers Association of America. He was a member of the Heisman Trophy Committee for 46 years and served as the Heisman's Southern chairman for 30 years. He received the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award from the American Football Coaches Association. Other winners of this award were Bear Bryant and Woody Hayes. In the same year he was awarded the Bert McGrane Award from the Football Writers Association of America.

In 1983, The National Turf Writers Association (horse-racing) awarded Russell the Walter Haight Award for Excellence in Turf Writing. He received the Associated Press Editor's Red Smith Award for “extended meritorious labor in the art of sportswriting.” He received the first annual "Grantland Rice Memorial Award" (1957) by an organization of journalists, the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, Inc. for "writing in the Grantland Rice Tradition".

Russell was a member of the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. He was named to the Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class. Russell was awarded the Distinguished Journalism Award by the U.S. Olympic Committee.

Legacy
Russell's legacy includes the following items named in his honor:

 * Fred Russell Distinguished American Award. In 1968, the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the National Football Association and Hall of Fame created the annual "Fred Russell Distinguished American Award" which as of 2021 has had over 50 recipients. Recipients include James F. Neal and Thomas F. Frist Jr. and Martha Rivers Ingram.
 * Fred Russell Lifetime Achievement Award. Founded in 1998 by the Nashville Sports Council, this award recognizes a Middle Tennessee area individual for his lifetime contribution to sports. In 2016, the Tennessean received permission from the Nashville Sports Council to combine the Russell award with the presentation of other awards into the newspaper's "Middle Tennessee Sports Awards" event with corporate sponsorship. Previous recipients include Bill Wade and golfer Lou Graham.
 * The Fred Russell press box at Vanderbilt Stadium. When Vanderbilt University enlarged its football stadium (formerly called Dudley Field), a $250,000 gift was given to the university by friends of Russell to name the  press box at Vanderbilt Stadium in his honor.
 * The Fred Russell press box at Hawkins Field. The Vanderbilt Baseball stadium press box, dedicated July 25, 2001, was given by the Mr. and Mrs. Willard Hendrix Foundation in honor of Russell and bears his name.
 * The Fred Russell-Grantland Rice Sportswriting Scholarship (See above)

Personal life and final years
Russell and his wife, Katherine Wyche Early Russell, were married for 63 years until her death in 1996. They had four daughters, Katherine Early, Ellen Fall, Elizabeth Lee, Carolyn Evans. Russell worked past the age of 90 and lived until the age of 96. Two personal tragedies that Russell endured in his life were the death of his wife Kay in 1996 and the demise of the Nashville Banner in 1998. Kay died at age 87 when Russell was 90. He lived for six more years. The demise of the Banner came swiftly and painfully on February 16, 1998, when 100 staffers were called together by publisher and co-owner Irby Simpkins who told them that the Banner had been sold to the Gannett Company, who already owned the Tennessean. Gannett would then immediately shut down the 122 year-old Banner which had slowly been losing subscribers. Its last issue would be that Friday, four days hence. The news took an unexpected mental toll on the 92 year-old Russell. His daughter Carolyn said, "When mother died, he still had the column; when the Banner left, he had nothing." Russell went into a deep depression, but over time recovered enough to take a writing job with his longtime rival, the Tennessean, after being respectfully approached by the publisher John Siegenthaler and sports editor John Bibb. Russell wrote a few articles for them, enough to make his 70th year as a journalist, then retired. Long-time Tennessean writer Jimmy Davy said, "You know, he just didn't have his heart in it— he was a Banner man." Russell's final sports column is published in the multi-author book, Nashville: An American Self-Portrait (2001). He died in 2003 at age 96.

Category:One-of-a-kind computers

The category of one-of-a-kind computers contains computer systems of which only one unit was ever produced. Such systems have typically been experimental prototypes and/or too massive, complex, and expensive to duplicate. Among these systems are the pioneering electro-mechanical and electronic computers made in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, and, after that period, the largest supercomputing systems.

Olivia De Berardinis

Olivia De Berardinis, known professionally as Olivia, is an American artist who is famous for her paintings of women, often referred to as pinup or cheesecake art. She has been working in this genre since the mid-1970s, and became a contributor to Playboy in 1985 which ultimately led to her own monthly pinup page in the magazine.

Biography
De Berardinis was an only child who was schooled in Elizabeth, NJ. Some of her earliest paintings were of her mother. De Berardinis arrived in Manhattan in 1967 where she enrolled in the School of Visual Arts. She resided in New York City's Soho neighborhood from 1970 to 1974, creating Minimalist paintings. De Berardinis was one of the new artists introduced in the Second Annual Contemporary Reflections 1972–73, of the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, Connecticut. She was also presented as one of 18 new artists in the "Tenth Anniversary, the Larry Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art 1964-74".

By 1975, financial pressures forced De Berardinis to seek out commercial art work and she started painting women in explicit drawings for men's magazines. In 1985 she started to contribute to Playboy magazine. By June 2004, she was given her own monthly pinup page for the magazine that continued for many years, often appearing with captions written by Hugh Hefner.

De Berardinis uses an airbrush to generate her figures. Her female pin-ups were released in a digital collection on CD-ROM in 1990, and early copies of the program MacPaint had an Easter egg that led to the presentation of her Zebra lady.

She was called the "leading female pinup artist" in a 2001 guide on pornography. In 2004, news articles noted De Berardinis was "one of the few female artists to achieve fame" in the genre of pinup art, and her art can sell for up to $75,000. She started creating paintings of 1950s pinup model Bettie Page in 1978, and would continue to do so for twenty years. De Berardinis' called Page her favorite model, and presented her in a variety of poses. Other people she used as models included Anna Nicole Smith, Holly Madison, Mamie Van Doren, Margaret Cho, and Courtney Love.

De Berardinis' artwork has been shown in art galleries throughout the United States, including a boutique focused on Bettie Page.

Awards and honors
In 1998 she received awards for the Best Cover/Illustration for a magazine for her 1997 cover for the Heavy Metal and an award for artistic achievement from the Chesley Awards for science fiction and fantasy art.

Personal life
In 1979, she married Joel Beren. In 1987, they moved from Manhattan, New York to Malibu, California, where they reside as of 2011.

 * Retain If Wikipedia is going to have articles about nobodies like Robert Scoble, then there should certainly be an article for a person who's made real contributions to as many fields as Hugh Daniel has.  Besides the FreeS/WAN Project, He was a major figure in the early Macintosh developer community, the cypherpunks, Nanotech, and many other fields.  He likes to keep a low profile, which is why you haven't heard of him. (Unsigned vote by 67.161.42.199)

Supersedeas bond

A supersedeas bond (often shortened to supersedeas), also known as a defendant's appeal bond, is a type of surety bond that a court requires from an appellant who wants to delay payment of a judgment until an appeal is over.

This is a feature of common law, and in particular the American legal system. In most European countries an appeal leads to an automatic stay of execution, unless the judge expressly ordered immediate execution.

Definition
According to Black's Law Dictionary, a supersedeas bond (also known as an "appeal bond") is: "[A] bond required of one who petitions to set aside a judgment or execution and from which the other party may be made whole if the action is unsuccessful."

Purpose and usage
After litigation and a civil court ruling, the losing party can appeal against the judgment. At this point, both the plaintiff and defendant could have similar concerns. An appeal takes time – in some cases many years. After the case is finally decided, whichever party wins will perhaps be more "out of pocket" from its costs. Also time will have passed, and the losing party may be bankrupt or have used the time to hide assets or otherwise frustrate efforts to collect on the judgment if they lose their appeal.

Therefore, it is often either a requirement of the law, or an order of the court, that prior to commencing its appeal processes, the losing party must provide a surety bond – money it pays to the court or a third party, to demonstrate its good faith and commitment to paying judgment if it loses, and in some cases to show that their appeal is not frivolous or merely a tactic to delay or avoid payment. This is known as a supersedeas (or "appeal") bond, and shows that they can and will cover the damages or fees awarded – including any additional costs of the appeal.

The bond may not be – and often is not – the exact value of the ruling. In some cases it is significantly larger since it is intended to cover interest or other costs which may arise on appeal.

A supersedeas bond is often paid in full – and may be handled via insurance or underwriting in some cases.

Supersedeas bond rules in the United States
The amount and availability of a supersedeas bond depends on state regulations and case specifics.

In New Jersey, the posting of a bond is not required to appeal a decision. However, if the party wishes to stay a judgment during the appeal, a motion must be made with the Superior Court, and the court can require the posting of a bond or cash deposit under R.2:9-5 and R.2:9-6. The same rule applies in Delaware under the state constitution as well as the court rules.

Arizona Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure, Rule 7, provides that "except in cases involving custody of children", an appellant may obtain a stay on a lower court judgment and all other further proceedings by filing a supersedeas bond in the Superior Court.

In California, for instance, the supersedeas bond amount must be 150% of the judgment amount, whereas in Florida, the amount may include two years of statutory interest for those fees.

In Florida, the amount of a supersedeas bond is limited to no more than $50 million per appellant. State supreme court justice Carlson seems to be concerned with how the state has failed to differentiate between supersedeas and cost bonds. Which he stated "is problematic, because these terms are not synonymous. The bond required to perfect an appeal is a cost bond, which is sometimes referred to as an appeal bond. The bond required to obtain a stay of execution of a judgment while the judgment is being appealed is a supersedeas bond, also referred to as an appeal bond."

In Texas, the amount of a supersedeas bond (referred to as "security for judgments pending appeal" in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code) is determined as follows:
 * Under subsection (a), the amount of the bond must equal 1) the amount of compensatory damages awarded in the judgment, 2) interest for the estimated duration of the appeal, and 3) costs awarded in the judgment.
 * Under subsection (b), notwithstanding the requirements of subsection (a), the security cannot exceed the lesser of 1) 50 percent of the judgment debtor's net worth or 2) USD$25 million.
 * Under subsection (c), if the judgment debtor shows that the amount of the security would cause "substantial economic harm", the trial court is required to lower it to an amount that would not cause such harm.
 * Subsection (d) allows an appellate court to review and modify the amount of security, but not to exceed the limitations above.
 * Subsection (e) permits a trial court to enter orders preventing dissipation or transfer of assets to avoid satisfaction of the judgment, but not so as to prohibit use, transfer, conveyance, or dissipation of assets in the normal course of business.

Bond advantages
Obtaining a supersedeas bond may appear to be judicial red tape; however, it serves the best interest of the defendant and plaintiff. The appellant uses a supersedeas bond to stay the execution of the judgment, meaning the appellant does not have to pay the full amount of the judgment until the appellate court makes a ruling and then only if the ruling is to affirm the judgment. A surety bond also replaces the need for collateral. The plaintiff, or party to whom the money judgment is awarded, is fully protected by the bond and ensured payment, that is if the appealing party can afford the bond.
