John DeStefano Jr.

John DeStefano Jr. (born May 11, 1955) is an American politician who served as the 49th mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, from 1994 until 2014. He was the Democratic nominee in 2006 for Governor of Connecticut, unsuccessfully challenging incumbent Republican Governor M. Jodi Rell. He was also the named defendant in the landmark 2009 U.S. Supreme Court case of Ricci v. DeStefano. John DeStefano is the son of a New Haven police officer. John and his wife Kathy DeStefano met at the University of Connecticut as undergraduates, where he also earned a Masters in Public Administration. Kathy DeStefano is a first grade teacher in West Haven, Connecticut, and they are the parents of two adult sons.

Career

A high-level aide under mayor Biagio DiLieto, DeStefano first ran for the mayor's office in 1989, after DiLieto announced he would not seek re-election. DeStefano won the endorsement of the New Haven Democratic Party, but was defeated in a Democratic primary by John Daniels.

DeStefano successfully ran again in 1993. He served ten consecutive terms, (posting his tenth mayoral election victory in November 2011) during which his efforts included a massive overhaul of New Haven's public schools, based principally on the magnet school model, and New Haven's selection as a federal "Empowerment Zone". DeStefano was New Haven's longest-serving mayor; after 10 terms in office, he announced that he would not seek an 11th term. DeStefano was a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, an organization formed in 2006 and co-chaired by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston mayor Thomas Menino. He had to deal with public perceptions that violent crime was on the rise in New Haven.

DeStefano closed the aging New Haven Coliseum in 2002, and started demolition on it three years later (finishing the demolition in 2007).

In 2006 DeStefano ran for governor. On August 8, 2006, DeStefano defeated Stamford mayor Dannel Malloy in the Democratic Primary for governor, thereby becoming the Democratic Party's nominee, with running Lieutenant Governor running mate Mary Messina Glassman. DeStefano and Glassman were defeated by the very popular incumbent governor Jodi Rell and her runningmate Michael Fedele in the general election by one of the largest majorities in state history and conceded that night.

Following his defeat by Rell, DeStefano focused his attention on a controversial plan to issue official city ID cards to city residents, including undocumented immigrants. Proponents called the cards a way for undocumented aliens to gain access to city services and bank accounts (reducing undocumented immigrants' potential to avoid bank fees and interest, while also providing that they don't have to hold large amounts of cash, which made them and people who looked to criminals like undocumented immigrants targets for theft), while critics considered the cards an encouragement to illegal immigration. Proponents pointed out that the undocumented immigrants are already living in the city, and are the responsibility of the federal government, and that these cards would serve to bring people out of the shadows and under a small degree of government supervision. The city began issuing the cards, dubbed the "Elm City Resident Card", on July 24, 2007.

DeStefano focused his tenure as mayor on improving education and public safety in New Haven, as well as on economic development. Notable initiatives included the Livable City Initiative, begun in 1996, which promoted homeownership and removed blight, and the Citywide Youth Initiative. In 1995, DeStefano launched a 15-year, $1.5 billion School Construction Program, already half finished, to replace or renovate every New Haven public school. DeStefano was President of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities and President of the National League of Cities.

In 2008, DeStefano announced massive budget cuts to balance the city's $456 million budget, including the potential closures of an elementary school, police substations, and senior centers.

In 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against DeStefano in the discrimination case of Ricci v. DeStefano. The city had been under a court order to promote 19 white and one Hispanic firefighters who had been denied promotions on the basis that the civil service test they took had been biased. Justice Samuel Alito's concurring opinion suggested that DeStefano had been motivated by improper political considerations in denying the promotions.

DeStefano currently teaches an undergraduate seminar, entitled "Making Public Choices in New Haven", at Yale University.

Usage of the Indian flag
The template is being used not only in pages of Indian national institutions and the Constitution of India, but also in articles on individual Indian political parties like the DMK. I'm highly uncomfortable about having the Indian flag prominently in such articles. Either we should modify this template or should remove the template from those pages. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 04:15, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * The template is not supposed to be used on the party pages. There's a separate template/infobox for that. See the BJP, Congress and CPI (M) articles. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  05:40, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll go ahead and remove the template from the pages that I know of. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 05:43, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * I do not agree. If there is a separate template/infobox for that party, OK, but otherwise, please use this template. Electionworld 12:11, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Added Vice President and Dy. PM
Hi,

While Vice President of India is also a part of legislative, he is nevertheless an executive. This is not contradictory, as an MP can be a minister as well and has both legislative and executive functions. Similarly, the Vice President has a legislative or more precisely an administrative overseeing function as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

While the Deputy Prime Minister of India is not a regular position, it is, nevertheless, an implicit "second among equals" after the Prime Minister.

Also, the respective links to these 2 pages show them to be ceremonial or namesake positions, hence their addition to the template gives a complete picture without inflating the importance of these two positions.

---Gurubrahma 06:13, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * This template has been added to Vice President of India and Deputy Prime Minister of India. Gurubrahma 06:23, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Ministries and Ministers
Similar to having two seperate articles for the post and the person, (eg. President & Abdul Kalam, Prime Minister & Manmohan Singh), I think we should separate between the union minstries and the ministers. Today, the page The Union Ministries of India redirects to Indian Cabinet Ministers, which only lists the current union ministers. Any objections...? Since I've not done changes to templates before, I just want to be sure than to 'screw-up'!! -- Natrajdr 08:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

President under legislative?
Is there any particular reason the President is listed under the "legislative" section of this template? I'm tempted to just go ahead and move it up to the Executive section, but wanted to double-check in case there's some quirk of Indian politics I'm missing. --Jfruh (talk) 17:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC) dsbv.big.Nsd — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.59.30.197 (talk) 08:38, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Change in the template
I see that User:Sumanch has changed the template. In the new template the names of the various leaders are missing (Pratibha Patil, Manmohan Singh etc.) Can somebody add that? --Natrajdr (talk) 15:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Edit request from 59.164.116.156, 23 September 2011

 * Republic of India

this line should be updated as "United Progressive Alliance" the title of the article, as this is individual political party, it does not constitute the Republic of India (the nation), so need to be excluded. similarly this also need to be removed as emblem of India can be used only for administrative or judiciary authorities, it can not be connected with the identities of Political parties.

if this is the template for all the Political parties of India, then it need to be corrected for all the concerned pages.

Overhaul of template
While editing the Politics of India page, I had stumbled upon this template. At first glance, the template looked too messy and when compared to other politics templates, it was sub-par. Some of the names in the template were also outdated, and I felt the responsibility to change these. Most of my changes are lessening the content, per WP:NAV. Templates like this aren't an index of one topic, but it is a mere guide to the larger web of articles on the wiki. I also changed some formatting to conform with Template:Politics of the United States, Template:Politics of the United Kingdom, and Template:Politics of Japan, like adding a portal at the bottom, lessening size of image, etc. Should you have questions please reply to this discussion.

Semi-protected edit request on 19 October 2021
A. Under the "Elections" section, please insert Election Commission of India and Electoral reforms (piped and shortened from Electoral reform in India).

B. Under the "Political parties" section, please insert Political families (piped and shortened from Political families of India) and Political scams (piped and shortened from List of scandals in India).

Rationale: Existing template has Supreme Court of India under "Judiciary" section, this suggestion to include the "Election Commission" is similar.

Huntingwood, New South Wales

Huntingwood is a predominantly industrial suburb in the City of Blacktown, in Western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

Name
The composite name was chosen because the first English-style hunting is said to have taken place here and the 'Woods Estate', owned by the Woods family for nearly a century, is located within the suburb.

Transport
The M4 and Westlink M7 motorways run through the adjacent suburbs. Given this easy access to main Sydney's main arterial road network, companies such as Coles Myer and Woolworths Limited have transport and logistics complexes situated off Great Western Highway the between the Wallgrove Road and Reservoir Road exists from the M4.

Manufacturing
In 2014, a decision by Diageo to relocate the bottling operations of Queensland's Bundaberg Rum, to the western Sydney suburb of Huntingwood resulted in local job losses in the city that bears its name.

1975 Copa América

The 1975 edition of the Copa América football tournament was played between 17 July and 28 October. For the first time there was no fixed venue, and all matches were played throughout the year in each country. In addition, the tournament changed its name from South American Championship to Copa América. For the first time, all ten CONMEBOL countries participated, with defending champions Uruguay receiving a bye into the semi-finals and the rest starting in the group stage.

Squads
For a complete list of participating squads: see 1975 Copa América squads

Group stage
The teams were drawn into three groups, consisting of three teams each. Each team played twice (home and away) against the other teams in their group, with two points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. The winner of each group advanced to the semi-finals.

Group C
Match abandoned at 43'

Semi-finals
''2–2 on points. Colombia won 3–1 on aggregate goals.''

''2–2 on points. Peru won on a drawing of lots.''

Finals
''2–2 on points. A play-off was played on a neutral ground to determine the winner.''

Peru won the play-off 1–0.

Talk:Antimatter-catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion

Untitled
I just changed the invented date to "before" 1992 instead of "in" 1992, because I was an intern at JPL in 1991 studying the concept. I started in January of that year, and the concept was already being worked on, so it was presumably invented sometime in 1990 or earlier. I don't have any cites other than the reference number of the internal JPL document I wrote. It is JPL internal document #D-8672, published in July 1991. Tom 04:18, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

This sounds a lot like the engines from Star Trek. Bioform 1234 16:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Confirmation

 * Although the reaction energy of a fusion reaction is about 1/10th that of a fission reaction, the Li-D fuel used in these reactions is much lighter.

Do I misunderstand the concept of "reaction energy", or is it possible that fission and fusion are swapped here. Please note that I'm no physicist, so this is merely a request for confirmation.--Malcohol 12:28, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

The energy per reaction for a fusion reaction is a mere 5-20 MeV, while a fission reaction produces over 180 MeV per reaction. However, uranium used in fission masses at 235 AMUs per nucleus, while the fusion fuel is a mere 2 or 3 AMUs, making fusion considerably more efficient. The fuel is also cheaper and does not need enrichment.Dark Shikari 17:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

The last paragraph
very unclear. Midgley 23:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Silly Question About Thorium Fission
I think that Thorium is a naturally fissile material, but I am unaware of whether or not fission based bombs can be made out of it. Can fission based bombs be made from Thorium at all (Certainly, it can be used in nuclear fuel cycles). With antimatter seeding (catalyzation, or whatever) could thorium be made to explode if seeded in a particular way (certainly this should be possible for a supercritical nuclear mass - but what about a subcritical one?). --Nukemason4

Thorium is NOT fissile, it is FERTILE. In order for it to become something that can fiz it needs to capture a neutron, become protactinium, then decay to become U-233 which is fissionable. --Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.209.104.254 (talk) 00:35, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Fusion / Fission detailed description
It seems that is may be useful to have a more detailed description of the specific reactions involved in antimatter fission and fusion processes, if this information is available anywhere. I will look for some, if I get around to it. --Tsuji 04:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Bad Wording
I'm 99% sure that the term "Sweet" is a poor word choice. I don't want to remove it in case it does describe some technical aspect of the articles subject. It also makes the article sound like some kind of bad sales pitch than a reasoned explanation.

Here is a snippet of the sentence.

The native population of Delijan speaks a dialect they call Delijani (or Diligoni in the native language). The native language of Delijan seems to be a version of the old-Persian language, which is similar to the language spoken in Abyaneh one of the oldest Persian village located about an hour away from Delijan.

Population
At the time of the 2006 National Census, the city's population was 31,852 in 8,779 households. The following census in 2011 counted 37,470 people in 11,031 households. The 2016 census measured the population of the city as 40,902 people in 12,612 households.

Overview

Sites of interest include the 15th Khordad dam and Chal Nakhjir cave as well as its hot spring resort.

Delijan is an industrial city and is home to several popular carpet companies like the Mahestan, Setareh Talaii and Said companies. Also home of several companies producing a type of roof isolation called "Isogam". The area northeast of Delijan is populated by seven villages, this area is referred to as Jasb Rural District. Moreover, Chal-nakhjir Cave or Delijan Cave is one of the natural touristic attractions of Delijan.
