Replaceable fair use File:Go jimmy go.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Go jimmy go.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Climate Audit

Climate Audit is a blog founded in 2005 by Steve McIntyre.

In November 2009 journalist Andrew Revkin described it in The New York Times as "a popular skeptics’ blog" run by McIntyre, a retired Canadian mining consultant. In 2010, a Nature article described the site as part of the "climate change skeptic community" alongside the Air Vent and Black¬board.

Founding
In 2004 Stephen McIntyre blogged on his website climate2003.com about his efforts with Ross McKitrick to get an extended analysis of the hockey stick graph into the journal Nature.

On 25 October 2004 McIntyre posted comments on climate2003.com about a piece by William Connolley circulated on various blogs, and on 26 October wrote, "Maybe I’ll start blogging some odds and ends that I’m working on. I’m going to post up some more observations on some of the blog criticisms." On 1 December Michael E. Mann and nine other scientists launched the RealClimate website as "a resource where the public can go to see what actual scientists working in the field have to say about the latest issues." On climate2003.com McIntyre noted this development in a blog post on 10 December, where he wrote "Mann and some of his colleagues have set up a blog at the above address. A couple of Mann's first postings have been arguments against our papers. I'll post up a two quick comments below." On 2 February 2005 McIntyre set up his Climate Audit blog, having found difficulties with posting comments on the climate2003.com layout.

Judith Curry of the Georgia Institute of Technology has said "McIntyre started the blog climateaudit.org so that he could defend himself against claims being made at the blog Realclimate with regards to his critique of the “hockey stick” since he was unable to post his comments there". She has also referred to this site as one of several "Climate Auditor" websites.

Climatic Research Unit information requests and email controversy
After the UK Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) came into effect in 2005, Climate Audit readers were asked to make FOI requests to the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) for the raw data from weather stations used in developing instrumental temperature record datasets, for copies of agreements under which the raw data was obtained from meteorology institutions, and also for email correspondence relating to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report. On 12 August 2009, Olive Heffernan wrote in naturenews that "Since 2002, Steve McIntyre, the editor of Climate Audit, a blog that investigates the statistical methods used in climate science, has repeatedly asked Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, UK, for access to monthly global surface temperature data held by the institute. But in recent weeks, Jones has been swamped by a sudden surge in demands for data". She described how CRU had received 58 FOIA requests between 24 and 29 July 2009 from McIntyre or others associated with the blog. The raw data was restricted to academics, and the unit's director Phil Jones said that the data was subject to confidentiality agreements with various governments, but he was seeking agreement to get the raw data available online. He said that “Data release needs to be done in a systematic way.”

The site was one of the first to receive word of the e-mails which had been leaked  from the University of East Anglia with Jonathan Leake of The Times writing, "The storm began with just four cryptic words. 'A miracle has happened,' announced a contributor to Climate Audit, a website devoted to criticising the science of climate change." Louise Gray wrote in The Daily Telegraph, "Climate Audit was one of the first to post up the stolen emails from the University of East Anglia that led to the 'climategate' scandal".

Bloomberg said of the controversy, "Web sites and blogs including the Climate Audit Mirror Site have carried copies of e-mails, correspondence between climatologists and commentary. In one e-mail cited widely on blogs including Climate Audit, Phil Jones writes about completing “Mike’s nature trick of adding in the real temps” in order to hide the decline." According to Antonio Regalado writing in Science Insider, Jones wrote e-mails stating that he convinced the university's FOI managers to not release data to "greenhouse skeptics" because Jones believed that they planned to harm the UEA or setback climate science by drawing scientists into disputes, wasting research time. "Think I've managed to persuade UEA to ignore all further FOIA requests if the people have anything to do with Climate Audit," Jones wrote in 2007. The House of Commons' Science and Technology Committee largely vindicated the scientists involved in the scandal, but left consideration of the quality of the science and the conduct of the research to committees chaired by Lord Oxburgh and Sir Muir Russell. Fox News said that McIntyre "who also worked at the IPCC and submitted notes to the Science and Technology Committee for its investigation, wrote a lengthy rebuttal of the decision on his blog", and disputed the committee's conclusion that the word trick "appears to be a colloquialism for a 'neat' method of handling data". Further investigations by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Inspector General of the United States Department of Commerce and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the National Science Foundation reaffirmed that the accusations against the scientists were unfounded.

Reception
James Hansen, the former director of NASA's Goddard Institute, has dismissed McIntyre as a "court jester".

"If a single person can be credited with setting the stage for Climategate, it's Stephen McIntyre, the retired mining consultant behind the popular skeptic blog Climate Audit," wrote Kate Sheppard at Mother Jones in 2011. "Emails from this period show the scientists lashing out against McIntyre. He is referred to as a "bozo" and "a playground bully." McIntyre clearly gets a rise out of irking scientists, whom he frequently refers to as 'the Team'—another play on the hockey-stick metaphor. He likes to 'tease these guys and kind of make fun of them,' he says, and their evident aggravation at his inquiries only egged him on. 'I think it was a mistake for them to in effect adopt a fatwa against Climate Audit,' says McIntyre."

Patrick J. Michaels, a former contributor to the IPCC and a former fellow at the denialist Cato Institute, named Climate Audit as part of 'a new “parallel universe” of emerging online publications, manned by serious scientists critical of world governments approach to climate change'. “A parallel universe is assembling itself parallel to the IPCC. This universe has become very technical -- very proficient at taking apart the U.N.’s findings."

Internet voting by the public organized by the Weblog Awards, a right-wing blog sponsored by conservative media group Wizbang LLC, won the website the 2007 Weblog "Best Science Blog" award and it was a runner up in the same category in 2008.

FreshFabrik

FreshFabrik is a Hungarian industrial nu metal band consisting of Szabolcs Oláh aka Q|(kju:) (vocals, guitars), András Szabó (drums) and Levente Kovács (bass & programming) and László Szvoboda (guitars, vox, synth.). FreshFabrik is the first Hungarian English-singing rock/metal band using DJ and rap performances, and the first Hungarian rock/metal band contracted to a major record label. FreshFabrik is one of the best-selling English-singing Hungarian rock bands of all time. After a three-year break, in 2011 they released a brand-new album MORA. In 2013, after a successful 20 years anniversary tour, FreshFabrik released a new single, and video Higher & Higher (Rock to the Boogie-Woogie) with reunited members: Istvan Horvath and Matyas Koncz.

Years of beginning
FreshFabrik was founded by Andras Szabó and Levente Kovács in 1993, in Budapest, Hungary. In the autumn of 1994 the band was introduced supporting Run DMC in Budapest. That time the band signed a record deal with Hungarian Mute Licensee the band was nominated for the MTV Europe Video Contest and the nominated video appeared on MTV Europe's 120 Minutes. In the same year FreshFabrik released the debut album Certificado.

In 1995-97 the band was clubtouring all over Europe, and performed as supporting band to Nitzer Ebb in Budapest in 1997. That year, the band signed to Warner Music Hungary to release their second album, Nerve. After its success, Warner sent the band touring in Australia for the new album.

Years of success
In the early days of 2000 the band started working on the new album with Mr. Colson from Smart Studios (US) at the mixing desk. The band used the studio-break for performing live on the Pepsi Sziget Festival in Budapest as a headliner, among bands like Bad Religion and The Bloodhound Gang. The album Drive My Hand came out on 30 October 2000. On 8 March 2001 the band won Hungarian IFPI's Golden Giraffe Award (Hungarian Grammy) as 'The Best Domestic Modern Rock Album of the Year 2000'. In 2001 Warner Released Drive My Hand in the Czech Republic, and FreshFabrik was supporting Rammstein and AC/DC, in Prague in Strahov Stadium with an audience of 35,000 people.

The band performed at the Sziget Festival again as a headliner, among bands like H-Blockx and New Model Army. The music video for "Lamentation" was nominated to the 'Comet' competition on VIVA TV. The "Lamentation" and "Drive My Hand" videos were appearing on VIVA2 in Germany. That time, the band was working on the release and promotion of Drive My Hand in cooperation with the Vice President A&R of Warner Music International in New York, organising showcases in Los Angeles and New York. Unfortunately the tragic events of September 11 temporarily made it impossible for the band to be present in the States. "Lamentation" appeared on the track list of the compilation New Generation released by Warner Music Czech Republic in November 2001 among superstars like Linkin Park, Wheatus, Deftones, Faith No More, Sugar Ray, Uncle Kracker, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Missy Elliott, Crazy Town, Staind, HIM, Blink 182, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guano Apes, The Bloodhound Gang and Papa Roach. In the summer of 2002 FreshFabrik played numerous gigs in Hungary, became a third-time headliner of the Pepsi Sziget Festival, and received an invitation to Austin, Texas for the SXSW Festival Summer.

Years of change
István Horváth, the frontman of FreshFabrik, left the band due to musical and personal reasons in 2003. The band started the new album's recording sessions with a new singer: Balázs Tanka. The album Dead Heart in Living Water was released in the February 2004. The band started touring twenty gigs all around Hungary, and the second single's ("Grace for Grace") came out. The one-year-term singer, Balázs Tanka, left the band, and István Horváth re-joined for a few months. After the scandalous departure, a new singer, Peter Ujvari joined the band for one single and video "On 'n' On". After the departure of Peter Ujvári, a new progressive rock, grunge singer Szabolcs Oláh (kju:) joined the band. He had gained fame as a finalist of the Hungarian talent show Megasztár. In 2006 FreshFabrik released a special best-of album, with the band's most popular songs re-recorded, remastered and partly renamed, due to copyright reasons. FreshFarbik toured and appeared many festivals. Played around Italy, Hungary and in the UK in 2007 supporting the heavy girl-band McQueen (UK).

Years apart
The band had few performances between 2007 and 2010. After an unsuccessful 15th anniversary concert, Levente Kovács declared in an interview that, "I don't see any chance to perform on stage under the name of FreshFabrik anymore to play TapTap. It makes no sense for me. It's only my opinion, there are many ways to do FreshFabrik without me, and maybe they will." So he left the band for one year, but Andras and Szabolcs, with former bass player Reka Hain played some shows with moderate success.

Years of a new beginning
In 2010 Levente Kovács, András Szabó and Szabolcs Oláh decided to continue FreshFabrik and started writing some new material. In November 2010, a new single and music video titled "Stealing the Sun" was released and hit radio charts, raising new popularity for the band. In the spring of 2011 Laszlo Szvoboda joined the band for live performances and started touring Hungary. Many festival appearances came and a very special show with the Hungarian National Radio Philharmonic Orchestra at Sziget Festival 2011, recorded live and in studio also. In June 2011 the band released a new album, MORA, which is the 5th in the row of FreshFabrik studio albums. Four videos were shot supporting MORA: Stealing The Sun, Woman, Into The Light and Orpheus.

On 8 May 2012, the FreshFabrik album MORA won "Best Domestic Modern Pop-Rock Album of 2011" at the Fonogram Hungarian Music Awards.

In 2013, after a successful 20 years anniversary tour, FRESHFABRIK released a new single, and video Higher & Higher (Rock to the Boogie-Woogie) with reunited members: Istvan Horvath and Matyas Koncz.

Yann Goulet

Yann Goulet (or Yann Renard-Goulet; 20 August 1914 – 22 August 1999) was a Breton sculptor, Breton nationalist and war-time collaborationist with Nazi Germany who headed the Breton Bagadou Stourm militia. He later took Irish citizenship and became professor of sculpture at the Royal Hibernian Academy.

Early career
Goulet was born in Saint-Nazaire. Before World War II, he was a member of the Breton National Party, and a former member of the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO). His artistic career began at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he studied art and architecture, and learned sculpture with Auguste Rodin's assistant, Charles Despiau. His works in France include bas-reliefs shown at the Exposition International de Paris (1938), and the monument to the youth of the French empire in Lille (1939). He was part of the Breton artistic movement Seiz Breur.

Goulet's involvement in Breton nationalism led to accusations that he had orchestrated the destruction the Monument to the Breton-Angevin Federation at Pontivy on 18 December 1938 by Gwenn ha du, the nationalist terrorist group. He was detained, but then released.

French army
In 1939, he was sent to Strasbourg to be instructed in sabotage. He participated in the beginning of World War II fighting for France, and was captured by the Germans on 11 June 1940 while blowing up a bridge on the Aisne with friends from a French corps.

Bagadou Stourm
Later in the war, he joined the assault section of Bagadou Stourm, Breton nationalist stormtroopers allied to the Germans. He also collaborated with the pro-Nazi nationalist newspaper L'Heure Bretonne. In 1941 in Paris, he became head of Bagadou Stourm and the "Youth Organizations" of the Parti National Breton. The promotion of Bagadou Stourm officers was named "Patrick Pearse" to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland.

Artistic career in Ireland

After the liberation of France, Goulet travelled with his wife and children to Ireland, and was sentenced to death as a Collaborationist by a French court in his absence. The painter Camille Souter took up sculpture in 1950 under his guidance.

He acquired Irish citizenship in 1952 and became an art professor.

He was commissioned to create public works commemorating the IRA and other republicans, including the Custom House Memorial (Dublin), the East Mayo Brigade IRA Memorial, the Republican Memorial (Crossmaglen), and the Ballyseedy Memorial (Kerry). He exhibited regularly at the Royal Hibernian Academy, eventually becoming the RHA Professor of Sculpture. He was also made a member of Aosdána in 1982.

Liberation Front of Brittany
Towards the end of the 1960s, he claimed to have taken the reins of the Liberation Front of Brittany (Front de Libération de la Bretagne, or FLB) and to have been behind all their attacks.

On 1969, he became secretary general and chair of the Comité National de la Bretagne Libre and published the communiques of the FLB. In 1968, the head of police in Bray congratulated him on organising the previous day's attack on the CRS barracks in Saint-Brieuc. His friends called him "tonton Yann", but sceptics referred to him as "Général micro".

Goulet often claimed "[there was a] national revolution that we missed in 1940" (révolution nationale qu'on a manquée en 1940)

Death
Goulet died at Bray, County Wicklow, on 22 August 1999, two days after his 85th birthday.

NSV machine gun

The NSV Utyos (, initialism for Никитин-Соколов-Волков; Утёс), is a Soviet heavy machine gun chambered in 12.7×108mm. It is named after the designers, G. I. Nikitin, Y. М. Sokolov and V. I. Volkov. It was designed to replace the DShK machine gun and was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1971.

The NSV was manufactured at the Metallist plant in Uralsk, Kazakh SSR, Soviet Union. The vehicle-mounted NSVT variant is used on the T-72 T-64 and T-80 battle tanks. Like many Soviet weapons, the NSV was also licence produced by Yugoslavia as the M87. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union, Russia began development on the Kord heavy machine gun, while Belarus, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Vietnam all introduced their own copies of the NSV.

The NSV weighs 25 kg, has a rate of fire of 700–800 rounds per minute, and an effective range from 1500 m to 2000 m against airborne and ground targets, respectively. A loaded ammunition belt with 50 rounds weighs 11 kg.

History
The Soviet Army began looking for a new heavy machine gun to replace its older SGM and DShK machine guns in the early 1950s. The Soviet Army liked the idea behind the German MG 42; a versatile weapon used on a variety of mounts to perform many different roles. Two Soviet weapon designers were asked to design one weapon each utilizing the same principle. Mikhail Kalashnikov's submission was approved following trials as it was found to be more reliable and cheaper to manufacture than the design of Grigory Nikitin and Yuri Sokolov. Kalashnikov's machine gun became the new standard machine gun, and was named PK.

Nikitin's and Sokolov's design was, however, not forgotten. It was eventually developed into the NSV heavy machine gun about 10 years later and selected in 1969 as the successor to the DShK and DShKM machine guns. It was accepted in service by the Soviet Army in 1971.

Following the break-up of the Soviet Union, Russia began developing the Kord heavy machine gun to replace the NSV "Utyos" and which entered service in 1998. The Metallist factory in what is now Oral, Kazakhstan struggled to find customers in the 1990s. The factory was converted to focus on industrial production in the oil and gas sector in 2003.

Use in Finland
The NSV is called 12,7 Itkk 96 or 12,7 ilmatorjuntakonekivääri 96 ('12.7 anti-aircraft machine gun 96') in Finland. It is often used as a vehicle-mounted machine gun, and can be seen on the Pasi armoured personnel carrier, the Nasu transport vehicle and the Leopard 2R tank.

Due to its high rate of fire, the NSV is intended to be used as a close-range anti-aircraft weapon against helicopters, UAVs and aircraft. In dismounted ground combat it is placed on a special mount.

The Finnish Navy also uses the NSV in the anti-aircraft role, where it complements other unguided anti-aircraft weapons like the 23 ITK 95, Bofors 40 Mk 3 or Bofors 57 Mk 2 and Mk 3.

CCM Magazine

CCM Magazine is a twice-monthly online magazine focusing on contemporary Christian music, published by Salem Publishing, a division of Salem Communications.

History
CCM was first published in July 1978, as a printed magazine. It has been owned by Salem since 1999. On January 16, 2008, Salem announced that the April 2008 issue would be the final printed issue of the magazine, which would continue in an online-only format.

When the magazine was first published, it was called Contemporary Christian Music and covered that music genre. The name was later shortened to CCM, which was still an acronym for "Contemporary Christian Music". For a short time, the magazine changed its name to Contemporary Christian Magazine (keeping the "CCM" but broadening the scope) but then ultimately went back to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). Then in May 2007, the name's meaning was changed to "Christ. Community. Music." The editor explained that the term "contemporary Christian music" was dated and marginalizing and that Christ, community, and music are three entirely different things — thus, the periods after each word of the acronym to show that they are not related. The editor's explanation of the name change can be found in the May 2007 issue of the magazine.

In October 2006, CCM launched its own social networking site, MyCCM.

Since its start, CCM has covered mainstream musical artists that mix spiritual themes with their music, including Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, T Bone Burnett, Victoria Williams, The Call, Sam Phillips, U2 and Bruce Cockburn, as well as more mainstream Christian radio artists such as Amy Grant, Larry Norman, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Benny Hester, Steve Taylor, Phil Keaggy and Randy Stonehill. In the 1980s, CCM also focused on some of the more obscure spiritual artists coming out of the Southern California punk rock and new wave music scene like the 77s, Daniel Amos, Undercover, Altar Boys, Crumbächer, the Choir, Adam Again, and others. However, as the 1990s rolled around, the magazine focused more and more on artists that were heavily played on Christian radio.

Online publication
On July 8, 2009, Salem announced that CCM Magazine will be re-launched as an online publication, released four times a year.

The online concept has been further developed and the online magazine is issued twice each month usually on the 1st and 15th of each month.

The CCM Update
In 1983, CCM Magazine spun off its contemporary Christian music industry analysis and charts into a new publication, The CCM Update (originally known as MusicLine and later MusicLine Update). While the new magazine focused on the contemporary Christian music industry-related content that was previously included in CCM Magazine, CCM Magazine retained the consumer-related content. The CCM Update published charts until its closure. At the time of its closure, the magazine published Christian album charts as well as four radio charts: adult contemporary, Christian hit radio/Pop, Inspirational/Praise, and Rock. It had previously published a Christian country radio chart as well as southern gospel, black gospel, and metal charts.

The CCM Update folded on April 15, 2002, with its feature content being incorporated into a full-page column in Radio & Records, also called The CCM Update. It also stopped publishing charts, leaving Radio & Records as the major chart publisher in the Christian music industry; according to James Cumbee, the president of Salem Communications, they felt that continuing to publish charts was a conflict of interest, as Salem owned many of the radio stations that reported to the charts.

James Robertson (photographer)

James Robertson (1813–1888) was an English gem and coin engraver who worked in the Mediterranean region, and who became a pioneering photographer working in the Crimea and possibly India. He is noted for his Orientalist photographs and for being one of the first war photographers.

Life and career
Robertson was born in Middlesex in 1813. He trained as an engraver under Wyon (probably William Wyon). In 1841, he settled in Constantinople where he worked as an "engraver and die-stamper" at the Imperial Ottoman Mint. During this period, he appears to have become interested in photography.

By the 1850s, tourist travel to the Near East created strong demand for photographs as souvenirs. A small group of early photographers, mostly of French origin, made their way to Egypt and Constantinople to capitalise on this demand. These pioneering photographers included Félix Bonfils (1831-1885); Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884), brothers Henri and Emile Bechard; the British-Italian brothers, Antonio Beato (c. 1832–1906) and Felice Beato (1832–1909), and the Greek Zangaki brothers. Many of these photographers were in Egypt at the same time, and some, including Robertson, formed partnerships.

In 1853 Robertson began photographing with the British-Italian photographer Felice Beato and the two formed a partnership called Robertson & Beato either in that year or in 1854 when Robertson opened a photographic studio in Pera, Constantinople. Robertson and Beato were joined by Beato's brother, Antonio on photographic expeditions to Malta in 1854 or 1856 and to Greece and Jerusalem in 1857. A number of the firm's photographs produced in the 1850s are signed Robertson, Beato and Co. and it is believed that "and Co." refers to Antonio.

In late 1854 or early 1855 Robertson married the Beato brothers' sister, Leonilda Maria Matilda Beato. The couple had three daughters, Catherine Grace (born in 1856), Edith Marcon Vergence (born in 1859) and Helen Beatruc (born in 1861).

In 1855 Robertson along with Felice Beato, Charles Langlois and Karl Baptiste van Szatmari travelled to Balaklava, Crimea where they photographed the closing stages of the Crimean War. (They had replaced the previous photographer, Roger Fenton.) They photographed the fall of Sevastopol in September 1855. Of all the photographs produced, at least 60 made by Robertson are the best known. It was Robertson's work in Crimea that would earn him the reputation as the world's "first war photographer."

In around 1857 both Robertson and Felice Beato went to Calcutta in India to photograph the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion. Robertson also produced photographs in Palestine, Syria, Malta, and Cairo with either or both of the Beato brothers.

In the late 1850s, Robertson produced a number of water-colours with popular Orientalist themes such as carpet-sellers and snake charmers. It is unclear whether he painted these, or overpainted photographs with a soft, water-colour wash.

In 1860, after Felice Beato left for China to photograph the Second Opium War and Antonio Beato went to Egypt, Robertson briefly teamed up with Charles Shepherd back in Constantinople. The firm of Robertson & Beato was dissolved in 1867, having produced images - including remarkable multiple-print panoramas - of Malta, Greece, Turkey, Damascus, Jerusalem, Egypt, the Crimea and India. Robertson possibly gave up photography in the 1860s; he returned to work as an engraver at the Imperial Ottoman Mint until his retirement in 1881. In that year he left for Yokohama, Japan, arriving in January 1882. He died there in April 1888.

Éric Fichaud

Éric Joseph Fichaud (born November 4, 1975) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played 95 games in the National Hockey League with four teams between 1996 and 2000. He was selected in the first round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, 16th overall, by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Junior career
Fichaud played net for the Chicoutimi Saguenéens in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. In 1994, he led his team to the Memorial Cup, winning a host of awards, including the Hap Emms Memorial Trophy as top goaltender and playoff MVP awards. A classic butterfly goaltender in the Patrick Roy mold, Fichaud looked to be a future National Hockey League starting netminder.

Professional career
Shortly after being drafted, Fichaud was traded to the New York Islanders for Benoît Hogue, a 1995 3rd round pick (Ryan Pepperall) and a 1996 5th round pick (Brandon Sugden), without ever playing a game for Toronto. Fichaud never lived up to the lofty expectations his fantastic junior career had led to, bouncing between the minor leagues and the NHL. Shoulder injuries played a key role, and despite Fichaud's best efforts, he was unable to recapture his previous form. Eventually, Fichaud settled into the role as the starting goalie for the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs.

Talk:Madeleine Peyroux

Rusty Trombone
Any source for this interesting piece of info? --62.252.128.17 19:31, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Mystery Album
So apparently this we know: there was a 7-track EP-length album produced by Peyroux and Wilison. When she began to produce her own album Careless Love and decided not to perform the other songs, his interests came into conflict with hers, as well as the record company's. The record company wanted to put out the one album. Wilison wanted them to release his album, and if not, to have Peyroux promote it. It isn't quite clear to us, for legal reasons, what Peyroux wanted. Currently the album has been brought to full length by several songs of his - but obviously it would be to his advantage if the album was marketed as hers. It seems from all this - the album is more his than hers, she doesn't officially acknowledge it, it didn't receive the release at the same time - suggests that the prominence of this paragraph in the article, as well as the placement and equation of the two albums is inappropriate. Any thoughts? Huangdi 13:50, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

 * My feeling is that it doesn't matter to us whether or not she acknowledges the album (officially or otherwise) — it's partly by her, and belongs in the article. The fact that it's surrounded by so much controversy would tend to support its being given more prominence. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 17:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I respectfully disagree. In any case - a separate issue - she did not release the album, he did.  So at least an effort should be made to differentiate Careless Love and Got On Your Mind.  And now you've made a bunch of extra changes to my edits outside of our discussion.  I've taken a break from more politically charged topics only to say hello to the frying pan... However I do have I high tolerance for this, to let you know. Huangdi 17:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Artists don't release albums, companies do; the difference here is minimal, and a short mention of the fact would surely do. As for your next complaint — I didn't make a bunch of changes to your edits, I expanded the article and rewrote much of it, including your, my, and probably other people's edits, using new sources (as listed). --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 17:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

(Responding to some accusations by Mel Etitis which was just here a moment ago)
 * Hold on here. I am not making this a "battle".  I will look over the articles, both of which rely mainly on him as a source, and try to incorporate both.  The fact that my spelling correction was painted over suggested to me that you reverted without much attention.  In good faith I'll take that back.  "Rave" I think was someone else's add.  If not, I apologize, but it is hardly a sin - I'm sure you find the word used in many published music reviews. Huangdi 08:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

More changes
Your new edits include uncited claims (where did you find that she busked around the U.S., for example? It may well be true, but it's not mentioned in the sources at which I looked), changes to style that(to my eye at least) make it worse (e.g., "At about the same time" → "Around the same time"), and an insistence on separating the joint album that doesn't fit with other articles on performers. I realsise from your thinly veiled threat above that you intend to edit war over this, but could I plead with you to cool down a little and explain what you're doing, and offer citations? --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 17:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I see that you're still making changes without bothering to continue the discussion here, relying on hostile edit summaries. Your version goes beyond what the article you cite says. You're also turning good English to poor, as well as adding much that is either poor grammar or style (such as the use of numerals, slangy terms like "rave reviews" — and what does "The record company has since been dismissed from the action" mean?), and removing the labels from the list of albums.  You've also removed the source of the earlier version and added your source; as the two said different things, this is unacceptable; unless you have reason to believe that the earlier source is inaccurate (and you've not bothered to explain here if you have), that is unacceptable.
 * With regard to that edit summary: given your extensive changes, that I missed one "correction of a spelling mistake" is hardly surpising.
 * You've clearly, as you suggested earlier, decided to make this a battle rather than being prepared to discuss the question and reach consensus. If you continue to take this attitude, I shall have to try to take steps to get you to change by placing the article at RfC, and eventually by calling for assistance from other admins. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 08:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I see you've moved the comment to this section. I was gone for a couple days and did not read your addition from March 26.  So perhaps I will slow down and explain what I am trying to do.  When I read this article recently, it seemed to equate Careless Love and Got You On My Mind - both released around the same time, both to positive reviews, when in fact what happened was quite different.  I am trying to differentiate between the two.  Really, if we could condense the part about Got You On My Mind into two sentences, plus the two cites, that would be fine with me, as the issue is still disputed legally.  About the two stories, I don't see how you that one is biased/purple (the phrase seems to be missing from the current edit of your comments) while the other, equally sensational, is to be accepted at face value.  This issue seems to be the proverbial tempest in a teapot, as very few news sources have covered it.  As regarding my grammar and word choice, I think it reflects our different taste and perhaps national background.  I don't object to "at about" but "around" means I believe the same thing in the US and is more widespread.  I get the feeling you are very particular about whose acceptable English to use.   Seeing that American editors are the overwhelming majority on en.wikipedia.org, you may have your work cut out for you.  Judging by your industry, you may get around to a good chunk of it.  Peyroux is American, as is most of her audience, so it would make more sense to use American English but I won't make a federal case out of it.  The record company has been dismissed as a party to the action - it's kind of legalese but is correct.  Anyways, I don't intend to start an edit war.  I was just astonished to find that even non-political subjects seem to get politicized.  The cover on Got You On My Mind is classic - did he put that on after they broke up? Huangdi 09:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) In fact both have had very positive reviews (sometimes together — see one of the reviews listed at Got You on My Mind).
 * 2) Condensing the stuff about the controversy is fine with me; it's in any case more appropriate to the article about the album, I think.
 * 3) I hadn't seen the language issue as a U.S./U.K. thing, in fact (and, incidentally, I don't know what the sales figures are, but are you sure that her audience is predominantly U.S.?), just as a matter of clarity (and sometimes tone).
 * 4) Could we (you) explain what "The record company has been dismissed as a party to the action" means?
 * 5) I assume that the cover is post-break-up; it's by someone called Jud Guiteau.
 * 6) Although he's generally very generous to Peyroux on the cover and elsewhere, his own Web site bills the CD, rather suprisingly, as being by him, "featuring" Peyroux... --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I must say that I'm still puzzled that the albums should be mentioned in reverse order of their release, but I suppose that doesn't matter too much. You also added that Got You on My Mind "[reprised] three songs from Careless Love and four original numbers by Peyroux." "Reprise" must be wrong, given the chronology, but in any case the two albums have only two numbers in common, and there are no Peyroux compositions on Got You on My Mind (just a joint Peyroux-Galison track). --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 11:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The article looks good. I appreciate the discographies.  Never thought Wikipedia would be doing that, when so many other commercial cites take up the task, but that aspect has become increasingly comprehensive.  In the reviews of Got You On My Mind *that exist* I suppose they are very positive.  To me something by a now well-known artist should be widely reviewed before I would use that superlative.  To answer your questions... I'm assuming from the general quality of your English that it is very correct - yet there are phrases which I almost never hear or read today.  So I am concluding it has to do with national usage.  The "featuring" I guess has to do with legal consequences - otherwise it would appear he is using her bigger name.  He named the record company as a defendant.  The court dismissed the company from the suit.  More often it's expressed as above, though it may sound awkward to a non-legal ear.  Huangdi 10:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I must say that all the reviews that I've seen, including those in print publications, have been very positive (I prefer that to the slang "rave").
 * With regard to articles on albums (and especially singles and individual songs), I think that we have far too many of them, especially at the ephemeral teeny-pop end of the spectrum. I'd prefer to limit them to particularly significant albums, but that would involve the development of guidelines which would doubtless give rise to conflict.  Other recordings (perhaps all recordings) could go to a separate Wiki.  As none of this is likely to happen, I'm trying to do my bit in redressing the balance by adding jazz albums (see my personal Jazz-L 100 project, for example). --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Yet more changes
There was an edit in the article that added some information about William Galison that I just removed.

All of the information under "legal issue" is supported by the link at the end of this section. Any additional statements NEED to be supported and cited. This is a picture perfect example of a situation where unsupported info could land the editor, and Wikipedia, in hot water.

Thanks!NickBurns 18:19, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you and whoever else made this section more appropriate. I'd been trying to do that for a while. Huangdi 07:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Year of birth
Hello, I have been looking for information about the year of birth of Madeleine Peyroux and it tends to be 1973 instead of 1974, as it is written in the article. What about changing it? --Webeafix 12:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

William Galison
Perhaps their relationship and subsequent legal problems deserve to be mentioned, with several supporting refs. There are several videos of her testimony on YouTube, such as this one: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YOfRZ7ssGIk which were supposedly uploaded by Galison himself. SteveRamone 00:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok then, maybe I'll add something on it, with plenty of refs. SteveRamone 21:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Comparsion with Billie Holiday
A lot of journalists say that Madeleine Peyroux is 'highly reminiscent' of Billie Holiday, but that's because she's the only name they can think of. It's a flattering comparison of course, but it seems to me that Madeleine has her own unique vocal style and therefore the article should say something like: "a voice often described as reminiscent of Billie Holiday". With supporting refs, of course. SteveRamone 01:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Madeleine Peyroux.jpg

The "Image and Publicity" section is not written in a WP:NPOV style. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dannygutters (talk • contribs) 19:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Apologetics
"Women, Art and Work" seems to be apologetics and unrelated to the purpose of an encyclopedia. The section about critics not understanding her personal life being off limits and her fans loving her anyway has a similar problem--is this an encyclopedia or a press release?

The article makes no mention of her legal problems. I don't know how to formally dispute the neutrality of an article on Wikipedia but it seems this article is verging on the edge of "puff." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.192.125 (talk) 06:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band
It is a huge oversight to leave off her involvement with The Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band. It has played an important part of her musical life. You could say she cut her professional teeth as a member of this group, and she continues to play with them when she can. A recent example being a performance for an event at the UN in New York, which my parents attended and photographed (so I may be able to get hold of images if useful).--Amedeo Felix (talk) 10:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Live Performances
There has been a controversy about the quality of Miss Peyroux's live performances and I think it should be mentioned on the article. I've read several bad reviews on her, this was just the last one. Anybody else thinks it should be added? S2A (talk) 15:05, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Choice of picture?
Can't anyone find a more flattering picture of her for this page? She is a beautiful woman but this picture just makes her look downright scary! James Monroe (talk) 15:31, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Annette de la Renta

Annette de la Renta (born 24 December 1939) is an American philanthropist and socialite, the widow of the Dominican fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. She was named to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1973.

Birth and childhood
Born in Nice, France, as Anne France Mannheimer and nicknamed Annette, she is the only child of a German Jewish banker, Fritz Mannheimer (1890–1939), who died before her birth, and his Roman Catholic wife, Mary Jane Reiss (1917-2004, aka Marie Annette Jane Reiss, aka Jane Engelhard). Her German-born maternal grandfather, Hugo Reiss, was a German Jewish businessman in Shanghai, China, where he served as the Brazilian consul; and her maternal grandmother, Mary Ignatius Murphy, was a Roman Catholic of Irish descent from San Francisco. In 1947, after her mother moved to the United States and remarried, Annette Mannheimer was adopted by her stepfather, Charles W. Engelhard Jr., an industrial magnate, and became Annette Engelhard; she became an American citizen in 1966. She was raised in the Roman Catholic faith of her mother.

Marriages and family life
In 1960, she married private investor Samuel Pryor Reed (1934 - 2005) in a Roman Catholic ceremony in Bernardsville, New Jersey. He was a vice president of Engelhard Industries, the minerals conglomerate; who later owned American Heritage magazine. Reed and Annette eventually divorced. The couple had three children:
 * Beatrice Anne Reed, who married: (1) Roger Albert Morrison (they had three children: Katherine, Charles, and Nicholas) (2) David Niven Jr., a son of the actor David Niven (3) David Phelps, a California real estate attorney
 * Eliza Reed, who married Alexander Lytton Bolen in Newark, New Jersey. Bolen serves as CEO of Oscar de la Renta, L.L.C. They have three children: Henry, Thomas, and Phillip.
 * Charles Reed, who married Natalie Wigotsky, a clinical psychologist. They have three children: Nicholas, William, and Charles Jr.

On 26 December 1989, she married fashion designer Oscar de la Renta in La Romana, Dominican Republic, becoming step-mother of his adopted son, Moises de la Renta.

On 26 July 2006, Annette de la Renta was appointed temporary guardian of the 104-year-old Brooke Astor, a long-time friend, in the wake of elder abuse allegations being made against Astor's son, Anthony Dryden Marshall. On 13 October 2006, de la Renta became permanent guardian. On 20 October 2014, her husband, Oscar de la Renta, died of cancer, at age 82.

Philanthropy
De la Renta serves on the boards of the Metropolitan Museum, the New York Public Library, the Morgan Library, the Animal Medical Center, and the Engelhard Foundation. She also served on the board of directors of Rockefeller University for 25 years, and now serves as a trustee emeritus.

Noric Alps

The Noric Alps (Norische Alpen) is a collective term denoting various mountain ranges of the Eastern Alps. The name derives from the ancient Noricum province of the Roman Empire on the territory of present-day Austria and the adjacent Bavarian and Slovenian area.

Concept history
Referring to extinct Noricum, the designation originally comprised the Alpine mountain ranges in the medieval Bavarian stem duchy of East Francia, including the later Tyrol, Salzburg and Upper Austrian regions.

In the 19th century, the German term Norische Alpen covered the whole group of ranges of the Central Eastern and Northern Limestone Alps east of the Dreiherrnspitze peak. The Noric Alps were considered the major northern range of the Eastern Alps, alongside the Carnic Alps (i.e. the Carnic Alps proper, Gailtal Alps, Karawanks, Kamnik–Savinja Alps, and Pohorje) in the south and the Julian Alps in the southeast. Later the meaning was confined to the ranges south of the Alpine divide between the Mur and Drava rivers

Geography
In the traditional context, the Noric Alps are located mostly in Austria — 98% of the region is Austrian, mainly in the southern states of Carinthia and Styria—, with a small area in the adjacent Lower Styria region of Slovenia.

The area covers 9811 km2 and stretches 97 km from the upper Mur River in the North to the Drava in the South and 176 km from the Katschberg Pass in the West to the Mur River in the East. The Noric Alps are surrounded by the Hohe Tauern range in the West and the Low Tauern in the North, in the South they border on the Gailtal Alps, the Karavanke and Pohorje ranges of the Southern Limestone Alps.

The highest point is Mt. Eisenhut in Styria, which, at 2441 m, is only modest in the context of the Eastern Alps, where many mountains rise above 3,000 m (10,000 ft). Other notable peaks in the range are Rosennock (2440 m), Zirbitzkogel (2396 m) and Großer Speikkogel (2140 m).

In the south the Noric Alps comprise the Klagenfurt Basin with the historic centres of Zollfeld and Magdalensberg. The mountainside is characterised by transhumance (Alm) agriculture and was also a mining area, still for magnesite in the area of Radenthein. Today the region largely depends on tourism, in winter around the ski aras of Bad Kleinkirchheim, Krems, at Katschberg, Turracher Höhe and Klippitztörl, in summer around several picturesque Carinthian lakes like Wörthersee, Lake Millstatt or Lake Ossiach. The Nock Mountain National Park, accessible via the Nockalmstraße scenic road, is a protected landscape according to IUCN V category.

The Norian Age in the Triassic Period of geological time is named for the Noric Alps

Classification
The Italian Partizione delle Alpi classification of 1926 referred to the Alpi Noriche as the mountain chain from the Mur in the East up to the Brenner Pass in the West, including High and Low Tauern as well as Tux and Zillertal Alps.

According to the Alpine Club classification, the Noric Alps are divided into separated by the Neumarkt Pass.
 * the Gurktal Alps in the west, with the highest peaks in the Nock Mountains (Nockberge) region, and
 * the Lavanttal Alps up to the Mur River in the east, including the Poßruck/Kozjak range and Radl Pass at the Austrian-Slovene border in the south

The Noric Alps roughly correspond to the Carinthian-Styrian Alps according to the recent unofficial SOIUSA classification.

North Texas Baptist Association

The North Texas Baptist Association (NTBA) is an association of conservative evangelical Christian churches in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area.

NTBA was formed in March, 2000 by seven local churches that were aligned with the conservative Southern Baptists of Texas Convention (SBTC), and who wanted to form a local association of churches for regional religious proselytism throughout North Texas.

NTBA is currently headquartered in Lewisville, Texas on the campus of Lakeland Baptist Church, and has friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and SBTC.

The cooperative efforts of NTBA currently support several mission churches in the DFW area, pregnancy care centers, and various other Christian ministries throughout North Texas. The churches that make up NTBA cooperate for the primary objective of missions while also providing opportunities for continued Christian leadership training.

The NTBA exists to promote fellowship within the member churches and to assist in strengthening those churches in carrying out the Great Commission. They are a multi-cultural association and cooperate according to confessional agreement of the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 and also affirm the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy.

The founding director was Ed Ethridge and since June 2014 NTBA is led by Richmond Goolsby, Director of Missions.

Mercedes-Benz M 950

The Mercedes-Benz M 950 is a prototype Wankel rotary engine made by Daimler-Benz. It was first described in Wolf-Dieter Bensinger's 1969 essay Der heutige Entwicklungsstand des Wankelmotors, published in January of 1970. The engine was developed by Daimler-Benz's Wankel engine department, headed by Bensinger. About 100 units were built, of which some 3- and 4-rotor units were installed in the Mercedes-Benz C 111 experimental sports car, from 1969 until 1970, as a mid-engine. Although scheduled for commercial introduction in 1970 as a 2-rotor engine, the M 950 had not reached the series production stage by 1972. Daimler-Benz then developed a successor to the M 950, the M 951, but Daimler-Benz's Wankel engine development was abandoned in 1976.

Design
The M 950 is a protoype engine family with a working chamber volume Vk of 600 cm3, designed for automobile use and had, by 1972, not reached the series-production stage. Designed as an engine family, the M 950 was meant to be easily expandable; Wolf-Dieter Bensinger briefly mentions designs with up to six rotors, and notes that a five-rotor design would have very favourable eccentric shaft bearing conditions. Eventually, the engine was made in three- and four-rotor versions. It has peripheral intake and exhaust porting, a mechanical petrol direct injection system, and single spark plugs.

The housing is made of aluminium, and has, at the combustion chamber, a Mahle-made Nikasil coating. The engine has, instead of rotors made of malleable cast iron, rotors made of forged aluminium, which reduces the rotor mass by about 50 per cent when compared with rotors made of cast iron. The rotors were designed by Daimler-Benz, and made by Mahle.

The eccentric shaft is a single piece and has no hirth joints. It is forged of heat-treated and specially induction-hardened CK 45 steel with a UTS of 800–900 MPa. In the three-rotor version, the eccentrics have a 120° spacing, and in the four-rotor version, a 90° spacing. In the four-rotor version, eccentric 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 4 are oppsed (180°), meaning that the eccentrics for rotors 2 and 3 are only 90° apart from one another, causing significant stress on the centre bearing. However, by designing the eccentric shaft with a bigger diameter, this problem was resolved.

The standard oil pump for the wet-sump pressure lubrication system needs to provide only half the volumetric flow rate of a comparable piston engine's oil pump. However, the oil cooler needs a higher cooling power than a comparable piston engine's cooler.

For rotor lubrication, the engine is fitted with a small nutating-disc oil-metering pump that provides 6−1 mm3 of oil per rotor and engine output shaft rotation. It is driven by the eccentric shaft, and has a reduction in the range of 1:45 until 1:60. The pump's main variation of volumetric flow rate is controlled by the gas pedal linkage, but the pump also allows the aforementioned range in reduction, as well as a reduction in pumping stroke to adapt to several engine conditions. It is tuned to provide an oil film on the housing with a thickness of 30 nm. Due to the engine's petrol direct injection, the oil cannot be injected through the fuel injector, because that would result in mixture formation and eventually combustion. Therefore, the oil is introduced into the throttle valve bushing near the intake port, from where it enters into the engine's chambers.

User:Fenrus

Hi, I'm Me. Fenrus is the name of a mouse that lived with the wizard Erasmus in the Quest for Glory series by now-dessicated game company Sierra.

I'm not super-excited about creating original content. Instead, I'm concerning myself with style and rough line-edits on pages that need work—this is what I do for a living, and, sickeningly, I enjoy it. To me, editing is like fitting together a puzzle: what's the best way to let this writing come out, to clear the way for its message? I think the author does the hardest part by creating; editing is stirring the pot and adding the spices...

At any rate, in the process I'm learning enough about Wikipedia to start understanding its deeper beliefs and requirements, and hopefully I won't step on too many toes in the process.

Please feel free to leave me comments and suggestions, as well as vandalize—though to borrow and twist an idea from Geogre, I request you do so in villanelle form.

James H. Howden

James Henry Howden (October 11, 1860 – July 16, 1938 ) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a member of the Conservative Party from 1903 to 1915, and was a cabinet minister in the government of Rodmond Roblin.

Howden was born in Milton, Canada West (now Ontario), the son of Robert Howden, and was educated at St. Catharines. In 1882, Howden came to Winnipeg where he trained as a lawyer and was called to the Manitoba bar in 1887. He practised as a barrister. In 1891, Howden moved to Neepawa. He married Barbara McIntosh in 1894. Howden served as mayor of Neepawa from 1900 to 1904. He also owned farms in the province and was president of the King Edward Hotel Company. In religion, Howden was a Methodist.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in a by-election held on December 2, 1903, in the constituency of Beautiful Plains. Howden ran to replace the late Conservative cabinet minister John Andrew Davidson and was elected without opposition. He initially served as a backbench supporter of Roblin's ministry.

He was re-elected over Liberal Alexander Dunlop by 112 votes in the 1907 election, and was named to cabinet on March 16, 1907 as Railway Commissioner. He was reassigned as Minister of Telephones and Telegraphs on March 4, 1908, and was also named Provincial Secretary on November 6, 1908.

Howden was returned by acclamation in the 1910 provincial election, and was promoted to Attorney General on October 11, 1911. He also retained responsibility for Telephones and Telegraphs. He defeated Liberal candidate William Wood by thirty-two votes in the 1914 election, and kept both of his portfolios in the legislative sitting which followed.

The Roblin administration was forced to resign in early 1915, after a commission of enquiry established by the Lieutenant Governor concluded that the government was guilty of corruption in the tendering of contracts for new legislative buildings. Howden resigned from office on May 12, 1915, and did not seek re-election in the campaign that followed.

The commission report concluded that Roblin, Attorney General James H. Howden and developer Thomas Kelly had conspired to commit fraud in the contract arrangements. Howden was indicted, but was eventually discharged of criminal responsibility.

He died suddenly at a family reunion at Wasagaming.

Prosopis alba

Prosopis alba is a South American tree species that grows in central Argentina, the Gran Chaco ecoregion, and part of the Argentine Mesopotamia, as well as Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru. It is known as algarrobo blanco ('white carob tree') in Spanish. Spanish settlers gave it that name because of its similarity to the European carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). Other common names come from Guaraní, including ibopé and igopé.

Prosopis alba is a medium-sized tree, measuring between 5 and 15 m, in height and 1 m in diameter, though such tall specimens occur very rarely at present. The trunk is short and the treetop is globular, sometimes reaching 10 m in diameter. The bark is thin, brown-grayish in colour, with streaks, and it has tanning properties.

The tree is employed for ornamental and utilitary roadside planting and windbreaks. Its timber, which is rather dense (relative density = 0.76) and difficult to work, is used for doors and floors, for furniture, for paving blocks, shoe lasts and wine casks (where it replaces the European oak). The wood responds well to drying and is therefore valuable for work that requires stable dimensions regardless of humidity. It is also durable for outdoor use.

The flowers are small, greenish-white or yellowish, and bisexual. Pollination, mediated by wind and insects, is allogamous (crossed), since the female reproductive organs are turned active before the male ones.

The fruits are modified seedpods, 20 cm long, with brown seeds about 7 mm long. They contain a sweet floury paste (patay), very high in energy, that can be used for fodder or turned into flour for human consumption. In the 1940s a mildly intoxicating beverage called aloja was made from it through fermentation; in turn it was sometimes distilled to produce ethanol. Between half and three quarters of the fruit's weight is sugar.

The tree can reportedly tolerate drought, salt and sand; in fact, it is extremely efficient with regard to water consumption, it produces the most fruits in years of drought and has been successfully introduced in arid terrains. However, it cannot stand even mild frost.

Prosopis alba and other algarrobo species in genus Prosopis, such as algarrobo negro (P. nigra), are often confused or not correctly distinguished in botanical literature; in part this is due to the ease of hybridization of the genus.
