Salem Harbor

Salem Harbor is a harbor in northeastern Massachusetts spanning an area north and south of Salem. Historically the Salem Harbor was the site of one of the major international ports in the colonies. During the American Revolutionary War, merchant ships were enlisted as privateers, an important role to augment the ill-prepared Continental Navy. In 1790, Salem Harbor was a world-famous seaport and sixth-largest in the United States of America. Now the harbor is used for commercial and recreational purposes and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site is very popular with tourists from around the world.

History
The harbor was defended by Fort Miller in Marblehead from 1632 to 1865, and by Fort Pickering on Winter Island from 1643 to 1865.

Salem merchants defended the colonies during the American Revolutionary War through privateering. When the 13 colonies declared independence, the Continental Navy had only 31 ships. To support their efforts Letters of Marque were issued to private merchant ships to authorize them to attack enemy merchant ships. George Washington's Army numbered 11,000 men; there were 11,000 privateers at sea in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and between Ireland and England. One of the goals was to obtain gunpowder, outlawed for import by the British. Over 2 million pounds of gunpowder and saltpeter were brought in by the privateers and merchantmen. They also captured British soldiers and over 10,000 seamen from the British Royal Navy, for the Continental Navy the total was 16,000 captured British.

Titus, a slave to Mrs. John Cabot of Salem, established a business and successfully recruited blacks as privateers during the war. Captain Jonathan Haraden was considered one of the best privateers, simultaneously fighting three armed British ships. His efforts resulted in the capture of 10,000 cannons.

During the late 18th and early 19th centuries made, international trade was conducted in Salem from the Atlantic coast "to the farthest ports of the rich east." Salem was one of the leading international ports by the end of the 18th century, importing ceramics, furniture, decorative arts, artificial flowers, textiles, spices and dye.

Air Station Salem at Salem Harbor

On 15 February 1935 the U.S. Coast Guard established a new seaplane facility at Salem because there was no space to expand the Gloucester Air Station at Ten Pound Island. Coast Guard Air Station Salem was located at Winter Island, an extension of Salem Neck which juts out into Salem Harbor. Search and rescue, hunting for derelicts and medical evacuations were the Station's primary areas of responsibility. During the first year of operation, Salem crews performed 26 med-evac missions. They flew in all kinds of weather and the radio direction capabilities of the aircraft were of significant value in locating vessels in distress.

During World War II, air crews from Salem flew neutrality patrols along the coast and the Air Station roster grew to 37 aircraft. Anti-submarine patrols were flown on a regular basis. In October 1944, Air Station Salem was officially designated as the first Air-Sea Rescue station on the eastern seaboard. The Martin PBM Mariner, a hold-over from the war, became the primary rescue aircraft. In the mid-1950s helicopters came as did Grumman HU-16 Albatross amphibious flying boats (UFs). Salem Harbor was deep enough to host a seadrome with three sea lanes, offering a variety of take-off headings irrespective of wind direction unless there was a strong steady wind from the east. This produced large waves that swept into the mouth of the harbor making water operations difficult. When the seadrome was too rough, returning amphibian aircraft would use Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Beverly. Salem Air Station moved to Cape Cod in 1970.

In 2011 The City of Salem made it official the plans for the tip of the 30-acre Winter Island Park and squared off against residents who are against bringing two power generating windmills to the tip of Winter Island. The Renewable Energy Task Force, along with Energy and Sustainability Manager Paul Marquis, have recommended the construction of a 1.5-megawatt power turbine at the tip of Winter Island, which is the furthest point from residences and where the winds are the strongest. The results of the City of Salem wind tests can be viewed.

The nearly 30-acre park has been open to the public since the early 1970s. In 2011 a master plan was developed with help from the planning and design firm The Cecil Group of Boston and Bioengineering Group of Salem and the City of Salem paid $45,000 in federal money. In the long term the projected cost to rehabilitate just the barracks is $1.5 million. But in the short term, there are multiple lower-cost items like a proposed $15,000 for a kayak dock or $50,000 to relocate and improve the bathhouse. This is a very important project since Fort Pickering guarded Salem Harbor as far back as the 17th century.

Closing of the Salem Coal Plant and redevelopment of the 63-acre waterfront site
In May 2011 and after years of legal battles, protests and one recent fatal accident has led the owner of the Salem Harbor Power Station to announce it will close down the facility permanently. Salem Harbor Station is a 60-year-old coal- and oil-burning power plant that is owned by Dominion of Virginia and have said with the approval of ISO New England, the 60-year-old coal and oil-fired plant will close for good in June 2014. The City of Salem was awarded a $200,000 grant from the Clean Energy Center prior to the closure of the plant and with the closure scheduled for June 2014, this grant money is being used to plan for the eventual re-use of this property. That study is underway and we are working with engineers and land use planners on re-use options. The City of Salem has been reaching out to state and federal officials to ask for their cooperation and assistance in planning for the future and money to clean up The Salem Harbor Power Plant 62 Acre Site.

Footprint Power, a startup New Jersey-based energy company, announced on the 29th of June 2012 that it has signed an agreement to acquire Salem Harbor Station power plant from Dominion Energy of Virginia. Footprint said it plans to “remediate” a 63-acre waterfront site that has towering smokestacks, a coal pile and oil tanks. A city study estimated cleanup costs at more than $50 million. The plan is to develop a natural gas plant on one-third of the property, reportedly a site along Fort Avenue near the city’s ferry landing. The remainder of the waterfront property eventually will be used for commercial and industrial redevelopment, the company said. “The transition will not only stabilize our property tax base, but also provide cleaner, more efficient and reliable energy. Footprint said its plans are consistent with the recommendations of a city study completed earlier this year on the future use of the power plant site. The City of Salem will require Footprint to demolish the existing plant and stacks, we will restore some 30 to 40 acres of our waterfront to its vibrant and prosperous past.” Mayor Kim Driscoll said she has not had “detailed” talks yet with Footprint but is encouraged by discussions so far. As of December 2013, there were many appeals under way from various groups who do not want the plant built. The main opponent fighting in court was the Conservation Law Foundation, a leading environmental advocacy group intent on blocking the plant from being built. State Rep. Lori Ehrlich is the State Representative for the Massachusetts 8th Essex District and is a vocal opponent of a new power plant being constructed in Salem. It was announced in December 2013 that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court will hear the case on whether not to build or build the new plant in March 2014.

The new Salem Harbor Power Station went online in May 2018.

The Salem Ferry
The “Nathaniel Bowditch”, is a 92-foot-high speed catamaran that travels from Salem to Boston in 50 minutes from May to October and had its maiden voyage on June 22, 2006. The Salem Ferry is named after Nathaniel Bowditch, who was from Salem and wrote the American Practical Navigator. Since 2006 ridership increased every year, and peaked in 2010 with 89,000, but in 2011 service was cut back because of the dramatic rise in fuel prices.

The ferry was purchased by the current mayor of Salem, Kim Driscoll, with the use of grant money that covered 90 percent of the $2.1 million purchase price. Because of the cutback in service during the 2011 season, Mayor Kim Driscoll is now seeking a new operator who can run the ferry seven days a week from May to October.

For the 2012 Season Boston Harbor Cruises will be taking over the running of the Salem Ferry with seven-day service and a Monday-to-Friday 7 a.m. commuter ferry to Boston. The Salem Ferry will be running seven days a week for the 2012 season from Memorial Day to Halloween.

Still running strong and for the 2017 Season Boston Harbor Cruises will once again be running the Salem Ferry to Boston.

Salem Waterfront, cruise ships, and the Blaney Street pier renovation
The first step in the redevelopment was in 2006, when the State of Massachusetts gave Salem $1,000,000. The bulk of the money – $750,000 – is earmarked for acquisition of the Blaney Street landing, the private, 2-acre site off Derby Street used by the ferry. Another $200,000 was approved for the design of the new Salem wharf, a large pier planned for the landing, which officials said could be used by small cruise ships, commercial vessels and fishing boats.

In October 2010, Mayor Kimberley Driscoll announced that the city will formally acquire the Blaney Street parcel from Dominion Energy, paving the way for the Salem Wharf project. The City of Salem secured $1.25 million from the Massachusetts Seaport Advisory Council and $2.5 million in federal grant dollars to move forward with the construction of the project. The City acquired the parcel with the help of a $1.7 million grant received from the Seaport Advisory Council.

The City of Salem's plans call for a total build-out of the current Blaney Street pier, known as the Salem Wharf project. When finished, The Blaney Street pier will be home to small to medium-sized cruise ships, commercial vessels and The Salem Ferry. This project is fully engineered and permitted. In 2010, examples of work to be finished in this early phase that will be complete for the 2011 Season, a contractor is running underground utility cables and erecting an interim terminal building that will be used by the Salem Ferry, replacing the current trailer. The building will have an indoor bathroom – a first at the ferry landing – along with a waiting room and possibly an outdoor area with awnings. Also new for 2011 is a paved lot with about 140 parking spaces replacing the existing dirt parking lot.

Also in 2011, construction crews have been building a long seawall at the Blaney Street landing, which runs from the edge of the ferry dock back toward Derby Street and along an inner harbor. This is one of the early and key pieces of the Salem Pier, which the city hopes to have completed by 2014 and is the key to eventually bring cruise ships to Salem.

At the end of the 2011 season of the Salem Ferry, In the late fall of 2011, after the ferry season ends, contractors will start building the first section of the T-shaped, 350-foot pier. Work on that phase was scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2012. As of April 2011, The City Of Salem has secured half of the $20 million and still needs to secure about $10 million in state and federal funds to complete this waterfront pier.

In November 2013, The City of Salem received $4,000,000 from the Massachusetts Seaport Advisory Council to build an extension to Salem Wharf & other improvements that will eventually accommodate Cruise ships to Salem Harbor.

In 2024 it was announced that Derby Wharf will be having millions pumped in to stabilize of Central wharves & Derby Wharf from future erosion. The objective is to provide more protection against future erosion and is scheduled to begin on the 28th of May 2024.

Geography
Salem Harbor is located at 42.52361°N, -70.86611°W According to the United States Census Bureau, the city of Salem has a total area of 18.1 square miles (46.8 km²), of which, 8.1 square miles (21.0 km²) of it is land and 9.9 square miles (25.8 km²) of it (55.09%) is water.

Salem Harbor divides the city from much of neighboring Marblehead to the southeast, and Beverly Harbor and divides the city from Beverly along with the Danvers River, which feeds into the harbor. Between the two harbors lies Salem Neck and Winter Island, which are divided from each other by Cat Cove, Smith Pool (located between the two land causeways to Winter Island) and Juniper Cove.

In celebration of Nathaniel Bowditch and his work writing the New American Practical Navigator, first published in 1802, is still carried on board every commissioned U.S. Naval vessel., in his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts there is The Salem Ferry, named after Bowditch, a High Speed Catamaran takes people to Boston and is pictured as it is approaching its dock off Blaney Street, Salem Maritime National Historic Site. Salem is the second deepest of the five ports in Massachusetts. Within its harbor are commercial and recreational vessels. There are over 1,600 permitted recreational boats in Salem waters and an estimated 8,000 moored or slipped recreational boats using the waters of Salem Sound. Inside the harbor, the electric power plant receives shipments of coal and oil from around the world. Mid-size cruise ships navigate and drop anchor in the harbor.

The Harbormaster Department operates 24 hours a day. It has its own separate city department under the control of the Mayor of Salem and is also a sub-division of the Police Department.

The Salem Maritime National Historic Site at Salem Harbor
The Salem Maritime National Historic Site is a National Historic Site consisting of 12 historic structures, one replica tall-ship, and about 9 acres (36,000 m2) of land along the waterfront of Salem Harbor in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem Maritime is the first National Historic Site established in the United States (March 17, 1938). It interprets the Triangle Trade during the colonial period, in cotton, rum, sugar and slaves; the actions of privateers during the American Revolution; and global maritime trade with the Far East, after independence. The National Park Service manages both the National Historic Site and a Regional Visitor Center in downtown Salem. The National Park Service (NPS) is an agency of the United States Department of the Interior.

In 2014, the National Park Service, which runs the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, released figures and statistics for 2012: there were 756,038 visitors to Salem who spent an estimated $40,000,000. The National Park Service is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2016.

Talk:Somatic

old
This would be excellent page to use to summarize the relationship between different somatic practices. There are many contemporary systems beyond Feldenkrais and Alexander. It would be good to sort-of summarize things here.

Hans Joseph Solbrig 21:23, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

This article as currently written has little to nothing to do with Anatomy. Removing the Anatomy stub.Derek Balsam 20:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I've done quite a bit of rewrite on this now, and it's cleaned up and wikified. It's long and complete enough to move out of stub status now, I think. Derek Balsam 03:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

D&D
Would it be relevant to add the usage from D&D? ("Somatic component to a spell", meaning any physical or bodily motions which are performed.) -- 65.60.222.179 19:38, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It really would, as it's a related but distinctive usage. I have no idea where to find good sources for this, though.  --166.249.131.132 (talk) 03:46, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No, this is simply an example of "somatic" meaning "of or pertaining to the body." It's not a different meaning. --Karinpower (talk) 06:05, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Somatic pain
As a paramedic student, I'd like to see "Somatic Pain" (sharp pain) be refrenced in this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

 * I'm not an expert in pain medicine by any means, but my understanding is that "Somatic Pain" does not specifically mean "sharp pain", but rather pain associated with a specific localized body part, whether sharp, aching, or throbbing. It is contrasted with "Visceral Pain". Given that the meaning of Somatic in "Somatic pain" is simply "pertaining to the body", which this article already states, I'm not sure that this article itself needs revision. However, it sounds like it may be useful to have an article entitled Somatic pain if anyone has the expertise to do so, and if the term is actually notable in medicine. Derek Balsam(talk) 00:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I was just reading an article on neuropathic pain containing the statement "Nociceptive pain can be somatic or visceral in nature." I came here to this web page to better understand this distinction, as my working def. of visceral is "soft tissues of the body", primarily abdominal organs.  Does somatic in this context mean "all the other parts of the body not including the viscera"?  Or have these labels been applied to the pain distinction itself and lost the original body referent?  I don't think we need an entire article on somatic pain, that could well be incorporated here.  I added the section title above.  MaxEnt 22:27, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Functional Somatic Syndrome redirects here, but the term is not defined in the text?
Fibromyalgia redirects to this page using the link Functional somatic syndrome. I have a suspicion that FSS (sometimes called "Disorder" rather than syndrome?) has a specific meaning, and it should perhaps be defined here. --Lasse Hillerøe Petersen (talk) 21:49, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. In my opinion that redirect is inappropriate. I have marked FSS page for possible deletion, as there is no content. Perhaps a page could be created in the future, if someone has sources that discuss it. A quick google showed 9,000 results for that phrase (in quotation marks) so I would say that is probably is a term that is actually in use.
 * As to defining FSS here, that's simply another example of somatic meaning "of or pertaining to the body." So it doesn't need defining. From the FM page, the FSS page could be a redlink (appropriate to show the potential need of such a page) or "somatic" could link here. --Karinpower (talk) 06:30, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposal of Disambiguation Page
This page now hosts a half-dozen competing definitions, overlapping to various degrees. The significantly differing medical and biological usages are most common, but the dance-related ones are clearly WP:Notable as well. Can we clear things up?
 * Done. Fgnievinski (talk) 16:05, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! If I wanted to make a "Somatic (dance)" or "Somatic technique" page, would I change the "Somatic" page to "Somatic (disambiguation)" with links to (in biology (with a sublist)) and (in dance)? FourViolas (talk) 16:19, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it'd be better to leave the disambiguation at Somatic not "Somatic (disambiguation)". The dance part can go into its article provided it's more than a single paragraph. Thanks. PS: I'll have this talk page moved back to Talk:Somatic. Fgnievinski (talk) 16:29, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Since I was asked about my cleanup template (I think it will call someone else to come through and do some cleanup, but that's always hit or miss): beyond the references given in the first lines, the first several appear to be intended to serve as an overview of a primary topic. If there is a primary topic involved here, then the page should be on that, and the dab should be located elsewhere. If the first lines can be reincorporated into the dab using dab format (one blue link per line, etc.), it might look something like this:

Somatic (from the Greek σωματικός), meaning "of the body", may refer to:

 * Somatic (biology), [one-line summary with no blue links presenting the range of possible definitions, e.g. "referring to characteristics of body cells as opposed to reproductive cells", or whatever is appropriate]
 * Proprioception [if there is any link that should go here at all based on these lines; the only links that should be used are things that can be referred to by the term "somatic" alone, so links to things like yoga should not be here], [one-line summary with no blue links]

Dekimasu よ! 18:39, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Awesome, thanks for clarifying! I'm not sure which of those two directions would be best, so I'm going to leave it alone for now. I will mention that the page "Somatics" is not to my liking; I have proposed it be rewritten to cover the field of "somatic education," a broader topic with plenty of history to it. If that happens, that could affect how this page links to it.--Karinpower (talk) 06:02, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

 * As Karinpower knows, I have completely rewritten Somatics. I've adjusted somatic to reflect my changes. Somatics now includes a broad look at mind-body integration in medicine, traditional spirituality, and dance, all supported (including the adjective "somatic") by the best sources I could find.

Alfred Tilton

Alfred Tilton or Alfred Matisovich Tyltyn (Альфред Матисович Тылтынь, Alfrēds Tiltiņš; 4 March 1897 – 11 February 1942) was the head of Soviet Military Intelligence (GRU) in the United States in the late 1920s. He is best remembered for having recruited Latvian-American communist Nicholas Dozenberg to work for the GRU late in 1927.

Early life
Alfred Tilton was born on 4 March 1897, in Mežotne parish, Latvia, then part of the Russian empire. Tilton was the son of peasants of ethnic Latvian descent.

A well-educated individual, Tilton eventually learned Russian, German, French, and English as well as his native Latvian.

Education
Tilton graduated from the Alexseev Military College in 1916.

Career
Tilton was a company commander in the Latvian 3rd Infantry Regiment, attaining the rank of Lieutenant. He also underwent machine gun training in 1917.

Tilton joined the Russian Communist Party in 1918 and was a Brigade Commander in the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. Tilton was captured by the Poles during the 1920 invasion of Poland and held as a prisoner of war, eventually gaining his repatriation to Soviet Russia in a February 1921 prisoner exchange. Upon his return, Tilton was enrolled in the Military Academy of the Red Army, where he studied until 1922. Leaving the Military Academy in 1922, Tilton became an active participant in Soviet military intelligence operations abroad. Tilton acted as the GRU's underground rezident (station head) in Paris from 1922 to 1926. During this interval Tilton also took courses at the Polytechnic Institute of Air and Motors in Paris.

Tilton worked for military intelligence in Germany during 1926 and 1927 before being transferred to New York City, where he became the GRU's rezident. While in New York, Tilton and his wife, Maria, made use of a cover story that they were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Paquett, from Canada. The pair also used the name Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Martin during this time. As part of his job in America, late in 1927 Tilton made the acquaintance of Workers (Communist) Party functionary Nicholas Dozenberg, convincing him to drop out from organized party activity and to go to work for the GRU.

Tilton was recalled to the USSR in the summer of 1930. He served as the Assistant Commander of a mechanized brigade from July 1930 to March 1931 and was the head of Belorussian mechanized troops from March 1931 to March 1932. From March 1932 to June 1936, Tilton served as the Commander and Commissar of the 5th Detached Mechanized Brigade in the town of Borisov. From June 1936 to November 1937, Tilton served in the Spanish Civil War fighting in the defense of the Spanish Republic.

Arrest, death, and legacy
Tilton was arrested on 27 November 1937, during the height of the Great Terror. He did not immediately plead guilty to alleged crimes, however, only being sentenced on 15 December 1940, well after the fall of Secret Police head Nikolai Ezhov.

Tilton was sentenced to a term of 15 years imprisonment in a labor camp of the Gulag, a sentence which ultimately proved fatal due to the starvation-level of provisions allowed prisoners during World War II.

Personal life
Tilton died on 11 February 1942.

Tilton was posthumously rehabilitated by the Khrushchev government on 26 March 1957.

Awards
Tilton was recipient of the Order of the Red Banner on three separate occasions (1920, 1922, and 1928) and the Order of Lenin in 1936.

An AOL anon is making the rounds of the NYC radio station articles. He/she has two characteristics:
 * 1) total recall about every format change, minor format tweak, and tangled ownership change ever made by any station
 * 2) no interest in self-editing, wikification, or proofreading.

"In January 1999, WPLJ abruptly switched to a hot adult contemporary format"
The problem with this statement is that in the paragraph before it, it said that the station switched to an adult contemporary format. How is it humanly possible for a station to abruptly switch to the same format? Can someone tell me? ErikNY 20:43, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

While I'm a bit new to Wikipedia, I was at WPLJ for nearly a decade. I've corrected and added to the base article. I agree with Erik's comment. Modern AC is a variant of Hot AC. I've filled in a couple of gaps in the 90's and some very pertinent material about Rocky Allen and about how successful PLJ actually is. Hopefully some of it helps make more sense.

Great New York FM Radio Circa 1979-1980
Hi There,

I wonder if you could help me. I lived in New York City in the late 1970s and early '80s. At that time there was a great commercial FM station that played music by artists like the Tom Robinson Band, Nick Lowe, M ("Pop Music"), etc. I believe the frequency was somewhere around 96. What impressed me was that although it was a commercial station it contained a lot of elements of what I would say characterize good community radio. There was even one time where they were promoting a show by the Tom Robinson Band. It was a fundraiser, and in addition to giving a few ticktes away they encouraged people to pay extra for tickets so they could go to the after party following the show. They also mentioned that immediately following the show protesters would be leaving to go to Washington, DC to march for gay rights. The station went out of its way to say there would be busses at the theater after the show to take anyone who wanted to go to D.C. and march. I've never heard any other commercial station do anything like this before. Sadly, within about a year or so the programming changed. The artists above were no longer getting any airplay and there no longer seemed to be the commuinty spirit that characterized it before. Was this WPLJ? It seems to me that it was, but if anyone else remembers I'd greatly appreciate knowing. Thakns much.

San Gabriel River (Texas)

The San Gabriel River is a river that flows through central Texas, USA. The San Gabriel River is formed in Georgetown by the confluence of the North Fork San Gabriel and the South Fork San Gabriel, both of which originate in Burnet County. There are two major impoundments of the river: Lake Georgetown along the North Fork, and Granger Lake, about 25 miles (40 km) below the confluence. Both are U.S. Army Corps of Engineers impoundments. The San Gabriel River joins the Little River five miles south of Cameron which then meets the Brazos River northwest of College Station. There is a city park in Georgetown at the confluence of the North and South Forks, with a well-known local swimming spot (the "Blue Hole") located just upriver from the confluence on the South Fork.

Like most Texas Hill Country rivers, the San Gabriel west of the Balcones Fault is characterized by limestone river bottoms, some moderate rapids, small canyons, and muddy bottoms along slower-moving stretches; east of the Balcones Fault, the San Gabriel flows through the Blackland Prairie where rock features at the surface are more rare and the deep, clay soils are rolling to level and support dryland farms and more lush pastures than the thin soils to the west. Given the past tendency toward periodic large-scale but short-lived floods before construction of the large impoundments, much of the bottomland along the river banks east of Georgetown is forested with a mix of native oak and pecan plus other varieties, though in some locations pecan orchards with grafted varieties have been established as commercial enterprises.

Recreational activities include canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Typical fish species found in the river are catfish, largemouth bass, sunfish, carp, longnose gar and various species of bait fish. However, many game fish and introduced species are found in the impoundments at Lake Georgetown and Granger Lake. The river runs through the Apache Pass Amphitheater and Festival Grounds near Thorndale, south of the town of San Gabriel. Apache Pass features a cantilevered stage that projects out over the river and is used for major concerts and other events.

Bart's Girlfriend

"Bart's Girlfriend" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on November 6, 1994. The plot of the episode follows the secret romance of Bart and Reverend Lovejoy's daughter Jessica, who makes her debut in this episode. Bart tries to end the romance when he discovers that, behind her innocent façade as a preacher's kid, she is an even bigger troublemaker than he is. Jessica steals the money from the church collection plate, leaving Bart to take the blame until Lisa exposes the truth.

The episode was written by Jonathan Collier and directed by Susie Dietter. Show runner David Mirkin originally came up with the idea of Bart having a girlfriend that was more evil than he was. Meryl Streep guest stars in the episode as Jessica. It references films such as Planet of the Apes and The Silence of the Lambs. Since airing, the episode has received acclaim from both critics and fans, and Entertainment Weekly named Meryl Streep's role as one of the best guest appearances on The Simpsons.

Plot
During a church sermon, Bart falls in love with Reverend Lovejoy's daughter, Jessica. When he approaches her to praise her sermon, she ignores him. Bart attends Sunday school the next week to convince Jessica that he is a saint, but she still ignores him. Frustrated, Bart plays a prank on Groundskeeper Willie and is punished with detention. Jessica expresses sympathy for Bart and invites him to her house for dinner.

During dinner with the Lovejoys, Bart's crude manner and foul language cause Reverend Lovejoy to forbid him from ever seeing Jessica again. She and Bart secretly date, bonding over their shared love of mischief while vandalizing the town. When Bart realizes that Jessica is more badly behaved than he is, he tries to reform her at the next church service. Undeterred, Jessica empties the money from the collection plate into her purse and abruptly leaves after forcing the empty plate into Bart's lap. The congregation mistakenly believes that Bart took the money when Helen Lovejoy calls their attention to the empty plate.

Homer assumes Bart is guilty, but Marge believes he is innocent. Reluctant to implicate Jessica, Bart visits her the next day and finally comprehends her callous demeanor when she refuses to come forward. Upon learning the truth, Lisa is determined not to allow her brother to be blamed for Jessica's misdeed. After unsuccessfully prompting her to confess, Lisa tells the congregation that Jessica is the guilty party. The townspeople search Jessica's room and find the money hidden under her bed. When Reverend Lovejoy expresses disbelief at her actions, Jessica reminds him of her past misbehavior, which he wilfully ignores. Jessica is ultimately punished by being forced to scrub the church steps, and Bart receives an apology from the congregation.

Later, Bart approaches Jessica at church and admits he's matured from having known her. Jessica replies that she's capable of making men do whatever she wants. Bart agrees to finish scrubbing the steps for her as she leaves with her new boyfriend, but he vows to do a poor job to get even with her.

Production
"Bart's Girlfriend" was written by Jonathan Collier and directed by Susie Dietter. David Mirkin, who was show runner at the time, originally had the idea of Bart having a girlfriend that was more evil than he was. Mirkin gave the idea to Collier to write it with the help of the show's executive producer James L. Brooks. Collier said later that he thought it was a case of Brooks coming up with good ideas and him "giggling obsequiously". The idea for the ending of the episode was to have none of the characters learn anything from the experience.

Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, felt that Jessica Lovejoy was hard to draw in his own style but at the same time make her attractive. Julie Kavner, the voice of Marge, was particularly impressed by the eyes. Jessica was made the Reverend's daughter to give the impression that she was good at first and then to show that she was rebelling against the righteousness of her family. In the scene where Bart talks to Jessica outside her house, her baton playing was in the script but the exact choreography was not. Dietter liked its incorporation because it gave Jessica something else, other than Bart, to pay attention to. This was also done in the final scene when Jessica scrubs the church steps and plays with the scrub brush.

Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep was called in to do the voice of Jessica. Nancy Cartwright, who provides the voice of Bart Simpson on the show, was a huge fan of Streep and she assumed that Streep would record her lines individually, but all of their recordings were done together. Streep showed up alone with no entourage at the Village Recorder in West Los Angeles at 2:30 p.m., where she recorded her parts with Cartwright. Streep was continually doing many different versions of her lines. Mirkin felt she was easy to work with because she was versatile and keen to do a lot of different things, and as Mirkin expressed it, "easily evil". Cartwright said in an interview with The Pantagraph that she really wanted Streep's autograph, but was afraid to ask for it. After the recording session, Streep tapped Cartwright on the shoulder, and said her kids were big Simpsons fans and that she would be in "big trouble" if she did not get Cartwright's autograph.

Cultural references
In the beginning, the parents chase the children in a cornfield to eventually round them up for church, which parodies a similar scene from Planet of the Apes (1968), where the humans are rounded up by apes. As Bart sits in church playing with his Troll Doll, he sings a parodied version of Soul Man (popularised by Sam & Dave). When Homer is musing over Bart's first date, he begins to sing "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof, before moving on to "Cat's in the Cradle" and then "Yes, We Have No Bananas". The joke was very expensive; they had to pay thousands of dollars for the rights to use the songs. After Bart is accused of stealing from the church collection plate, he is forced to wear a straitjacket in church, which is a reference to Hannibal Lecter's straitjacket in The Silence of the Lambs. Dick Dale's "Misirlou", the theme of Pulp Fiction (1994), plays during Bart and Jessica's date. Bart calls Jessica "smart, beautiful and a liar..." and then claims she is "...so much better than that Sarah, plain and tall". The scene then cuts to a shot of a plain and tall girl named Sarah that overhears Bart and begins to cry. Bart muses that Jessica is "like a Milk Dud: sweet on the outside, poison on the inside." The Lovejoy family has a replica of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper hanging on the wall in their dining room. The sign on the Springfield Church marquee reads: "Evil Women in History: From Jezebel to Janet Reno". Johann Sebastian Bach's "Sheep may safely graze" can be heard outside the church; Bart assumes it is being sung by Jessica, but it is actually Ned Flanders, a revelation he calls "disturbing".

Reception
"Bart's Girlfriend" finished 53rd in the ratings for the week of October 31 to November 6, 1994, with a Nielsen rating of 9.6. The episode was the third highest rated show on the Fox network that week, beaten only by Beverly Hills, 90210, and Married... with Children.

Since airing, the episode has received critical acclaim. Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, the authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, said: "Poor Bart gets picked on very cruelly by Jessica in a cleverly drawn study of pre-pubescent love. We're very fond of the scene in which Bart leaps out of the window at the church, after which Homer cries: He's heading for the window!"

Colin Jacobson at DVD Movie Guide said in a review of the sixth season DVD: "We don’t often see Bart in a sympathetic light, so shows like this one are fun. [The episode] reminds me of season four’s "New Kid on the Block" since it also featured Bart in love, though the programs differ since here the girl reciprocates. Streep does nicely as the bad kid and we get many fine moments in this memorable program." TV Squad's Adam Finley said: "Homer and Marge remained in the background for most of this episode, with Bart and Lisa becoming the main focus. Earlier episodes seemed to focus more on the dynamics between the two siblings, and it's always a nice change of pace when the show examines their love for one another as opposed to constant rivalries. Lisa really wants to help Bart in this episode, and it's actually quite touching."

In 2008, Entertainment Weekly named Meryl Streep's role as Jessica Lovejoy as one of the sixteen best guest appearances on The Simpsons. Total Film's Nathan Ditum ranked Streep's performance as the fifth best guest appearance in the show's history, commenting that she is "the perfect mix of beguiling and devilish as Reverend Lovejoy’s rebellious daughter".

David Mirkin told the Daily News of Los Angeles that "Bart's Girlfriend" and "Homer the Great" are his favorite episodes of the season. Mirkin liked the scene where Bart is punched by Nelson at the playground because Bart takes a while to recover, which made the scene more realistic. In 1995, Nancy Cartwright told the Chicago Tribune that this episode, and "Lisa's Substitute" from season two, are her two favorite The Simpsons episodes.

Erik Adams writes "He’s got a thing for the preacher’s daughter, and he’s got it bad, an emotional state brilliantly illustrated by the gauntlet the episode stages for its protagonist. He’s a patsy for her, he risks serious cranial injury for her, he even takes one of Nelson’s fists to the gut for his playground love. (Cue one of the bully’s weirdly chivalrous one-liners: 'That’s for besmirching an innocent girl’s name!') It’s in touches like this that 'Bart’s Girlfriend' bests the similarly themed 'New Kid On The Block'—in that episode, Bart’s feelings are treated as an afterthought, only coming into play as the motivation for his plot against Jimbo Jones. This week’s Simpsons installment doesn’t just symbolically tear Bart’s heart out—it smears his guts all over the screen in ways comedic and poignant. This is a personal, heartfelt story, and Jonathan Collier’s script treats it as such, maintaining an intimate, Bart-and-Jessica-centric focus until momentum dictates the inclusion of Springfield at large. Once the townspeople are involved, the story loses some of its power, but the focus returns to the ill-suited lovebirds as the end credits prepare to roll—eventually narrowing to capture just Bart, alone on the church steps, no lessons learned or morals gleaned." He notes "Another great one-liner from Nelson, responding to his violation of cowboys-and-Indians’ historical accuracy: 'Hey, records from that era are spotty—at best.' The bully’s definitely having trouble keeping his sensitivity and latent interest in book-learning in check this week."

Animal Factory

Animal Factory is a 2000 neo-noir film directed by Steve Buscemi and starring Willem Dafoe, Edward Furlong, Danny Trejo, John Heard, Mickey Rourke, Tom Arnold, Seymour Cassel, Shell Galloway and Mark Boone, Jr. Set in San Quentin, the film is about life in prison. It is based on the novel of the same name by Eddie Bunker who plays the part of Buzzard in the film.

Plot
Ron Decker, a young man convicted for drug possession, is sent to prison where veteran con Earl Copen takes Decker under his wing and introduces him into his own gang. Copen first helps out Decker when three Puerto Ricans attempt to lure him into a cell block to rape him. Copen sees through their plans and talks to the Puerto Ricans, who quickly abandon interest in Decker.

Over the next few days, Copen helps Decker out by getting him better jobs, food, and even transferring him to his own cell block. Mainly Copen helps Decker's case and points out that under a new article passed by the legislature, a judge can modify a sentence in the first 90 days if he sees fit, so Copen (who is the assistant to the Captain of the Guards) helps write false reports and gives Decker advice to stay out of trouble, which will make Decker appear as a "very small threat to society". Unfortunately, after a large inmate called Buck Rowan attempts to rape Decker in the bathroom, Decker stabs Rowan in a fight involving Copen, paralyzing Rowan. Rowan signs a statement claiming Decker and Copen are responsible and their cells are stripped and they are restricted to them.

Decker's attempt at a modified sentence is denied and his sentence remains five years. Meanwhile, Copen manages to get word out Rowan is "snitching", and an inmate working at the infirmary poisons Rowan's IV with cleaning fluid. The case against Copen and Decker is thrown out as the victim and main witness is dead.

Shortly after their release, Copen tells Decker he plans to escape, and they plot to hide in a garbage truck and avoid being crushed by the compressor by using a bar to stop it. Decker escapes in one truck, Copen is unable to jump into the truck after the appearance of one of the prison guards. Decker manages to flee to Costa Rica and Copen stays behind, after stating "This is my prison, after all" and quoting Satan from Paradise Lost by John Milton: "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven."

Cast
Anohni makes a cameo appearance as a prisoner performing at a musical night in the prison.

Production
Animal Factory was filmed at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Filming was completed in 30 days, two days longer than originally scheduled. Buscemi employed hundreds of prisoners from Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, the prison that replaced Holmesburg Prison in 1995.

The film is based upon the novel of the same name by writer Edward Bunker. Bunker, who has a small part in the film, also co-starred alongside Animal Factory's director Buscemi in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.

Reception
The film received positive reviews. It was highly praised at the Sundance Film Festival. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 83% based on reviews from 35 critics, with an average rating of 6.90/10. The site’s critics consensus reads, "Animal Factory is an honest attempt at a humanizing prison drama that stumbles with its performances but Buscemi's ambitious directing makes up for it." On Metacritic, it has a score of 65% based on reviews from 12 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times wrote: "Willem Dafoe steals the picture with his comic timing." Gene Seymour of the Los Angeles Times called it "One of the least sensationalistic--and therefore, more unsettlingly plausible--visions of prison life ever transfigured into big-screen drama." Alex Raynor of Empire magazine wrote: "Steady-handed direction and a number of strong performances allow Animal Factory to maintain a decent balance between prison violence and inmate camaraderie, making for a well-paced and thoughtful prison drama." Leonard Maltin places the film in his book 151 Best Movies You've Never Seen.
