László Papp Budapest Sports Arena

The László Papp Budapest Sports Arena (Papp László Budapest Sportaréna), also known as Budapest Sports Arena or locally just Arena, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Budapest, Hungary. It is the second biggest sports complex in the country after MVM Dome, which is also in the capital, and it is named after Hungarian boxer László Papp. The venue can hold up to 12,500 people in its largest concert configuration, up to 11,390 for boxing and 9,479 for ice hockey. It was built as a replacement for the Budapest Sports Hall (Budapest Sportcsarnok, or BS for short) which stood in the same place and was destroyed in a fire in December 1999. A long-distance bus station is situated under the building.

History

Construction of the arena began on 30 June 2001, after the original, the Budapest Sportcsarnok, built in 1982, burnt to the ground on 15 December 1999. The hall was finished quickly, within a year and a half, and the opening ceremony was held on 13 March 2003. Since 28 May 2004, the arena wears the name of Hungarian boxing great László Papp and is officially known as Papp László Budapest Sports Arena.

The building has a total weight of 200,000 tons and contains 50,000 tons of concrete, 2,300 tons of steel structure, more than 11,000,000 bolts and several kilometres of cable.

The state-of-the-art multifunctional plaza is capable of hosting almost any sort of sporting or civic event, such as basketball, gymnastics, ice skating and ice hockey, and other athletics events. It can also host extreme or thrilling events like monster trucks, motocross, jet-skiing or indoor wave surfing competitions. The arena also is the top venue in the area for touring international musicians and performers, as well as dance recitals, operas, dramas, circuses, musicals and a variety of other special events.

Sporting events
The first major international event held in the arena was the 2003 IIHF World Championship Division I, in which the hosts finished third. Next year the 2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships was organized in the hall between 5 and 7 March, followed by the final rounds and placement matches of the 2004 European Women's Handball Championship in December. A year later, Budapest Sports Arena hosted the 2005 World Wrestling Championships.

In 2007, the Hungarian Ice Hockey Federation celebrated its 80th anniversary with a friendly match against defending Olympic and World champions Sweden, played at the arena. In a closely fought battle, Hungary finally triumphed 2–1 in overtime against the Scandinavians to the delight of their 8,000 fans.

Starting from 2008, every year in the Budapest Sports Arena takes place the Tennis Classics, an exhibition tennis tournament with participation of former and current tennis aces. During the years, Budapest welcomed players like Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, Ivan Lendl or Thomas Muster and reigning stars, such as Robin Söderling and Tomáš Berdych. In addition, beside the Főnix Hall in Debrecen, Budapest Sports Arena was the other host venue of the 2010 UEFA Futsal Championship.

Between 17 and 23 April 2011, the arena was the home of the 2011 IIHF World Championship Division I. The event enjoyed particular attention by the fans throughout the week and the number of 8700 spectators that attended on the decisive last-round match between Hungary and Italy is close to equal to the figures produced by the top division World Championship final, held a week later in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Following the decision of the European Handball Federation Executive Committee, the organization rights of the 2014 European Women's Handball Championship were awarded to Croatia and Hungary. Budapest Sports Arena was set to host the conclusive stage of the tournament, including the semifinals, the bronze medal match and final.

The Final Four of the Women's EHF Champions League has been annually taking place in the arena since 2014.

The 2017 World Judo Championships was also held in the Arena.

At the 2022 European Men's Handball Championship and for the next main handball events in Hungary, the arena is replaced by the New Budapest Arena.

Fire system
The building is protected by several fire safety systems. One of these is the protection alarm system, which in the event of a fire gives off the alarm within three seconds. The Budapest Sports Arena is also equipped with a fire hydrant system that, in the case of a catastrophe, can be used at more than sixty positions in the building. Every point of the arena can be reached with the help of the fire hoses. As a unique feature in Hungary, the building also contains three high-output water cannons. All three are positioned in the auditorium protecting the area that caused the destruction of the arena's predecessor. The Arena also has numerous fire doors that automatically lock in the case of a fire, so preventing the further spreading of a fire.

Sorry to hear...
Hello Phatcat68. I'm one of the people opposing you on that category talk, but I don't want to bring any of the arguments from that discussion here. The only bit I do want to mention, that wouldn't really be proper to the Talk page itself, is that I was sorry even before coming here and finding that you are considering leaving that the way the discussion worked out, several people, including me, were arguing a position against you that from our point of view was merely a technicality to be insisted upon, but which from your point of view was a topic that matters dearly and should have been given a fuller hearing. Irrespective of who's right, I realised how unbalanced it was and I came here to try to say don't be disheartened, and sorry for appearing to gang up. Best of luck whatever you decide. ~ Veledan | Talk | c . 16:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I also would like to add that I respect the evident sincerity of your beliefs and your willingness to stand up for them. However, Wikipedia policy is pretty clear in such cases as Category:Born-again Christians—decision-making here is consensus-based, which means that if there is a discussion and you find yourself the only one defending a particular position, even if you are 100% right, the consensus opinion is the one that prevails. I would like to suggest a Request for Comment so that we can see if there are other folks out there who agree with you. A Request for Comment is not necessarily a judgment against you or anyone else involved—it's a way to get other voices involved.
 * I also believe that Wikipedia policy is pretty clear that names should be based on common usage in the English language. I wish you luck in your quest to alter the perception of the term "born-again Christian", but until you succeed, we are pretty much stuck with the perception that currently exists. My arguments are not based on disagreeing with your theology, but simply on the way Wikipedia works. I do know the feeling—you can't label Peter a "born-again Christian" for the same reason that I can't go around calling myself an "Evangelical Christian", even though I belong to the original "evangelical" church.
 * Thanks for your kind reply on my talk page, Phatcat.  Aranel, I have to say while I'm here I don't think an RfC is appropriate - enough comments have been made already, and Phatcat68 has already made it clear that he's aware that any sort of vote on this would go against him: that was one of the points at issue earlier.  Sorry to butt in guys, I was just a bit dismayed to see the argument threatening to continue in what I'd meant to be a conciliatory section. Peace ~ Veledan | Talk | c . 23:47, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

Croydon Athletic F.C.

Croydon Athletic Football Club was an English football club based in Thornton Heath in the London Borough of Croydon, London, England. It was founded in 1986 and initially named as Wandsworth & Norwood until 1990. The club progressed through various leagues, eventually winning the Isthmian League Division Three in 2001-02 and Division One South in 2009–10. In 2008, property developer Mazhar Majeed bought the club. However, in 2010, allegations of Majeed's involvement in spot-fixing and money-laundering led to turmoil within the club, including management resignations, player departures, and the chairman's suicide. By 2011, the club was effectively defunct. Fans formed AFC Croydon Athletic, which joined the Combined Counties Football League. Croydon Athletic played at the Keith Tuckey Stadium in Thornton Heath.

History
Founded in 1986, the club was a merger between Wandsworth F.C. and Norwood F.C. and was initially named Wandsworth & Norwood until 1990 when the club's name was changed to Croydon Athletic FC. Norwood FC had in the past played at Herne Hill Velodrome, with an annual friendly hosted against Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam. Wandsworth FC was an old club which had spent most of its long history playing on Wandsworth Common.

The merged club initially played in the London Spartan League, where they were promoted to the Premier Division in 1986–87. In 1988–89 they missed out on the Premier Division title on goal difference. In 1993–94 they finished as runners-up again and applied to join the Isthmian League but were rejected due to the state of their ground. The following year they finally won the league title but again were refused promotion. In 1996–97 they finished in third place and after extensive ground redevelopment were finally able to join the Isthmian League.

In 2001–02 the team won the championship of the Isthmian League Division Three, scoring 138 goals in 42 games. Due to league reorganisation, this saw them placed in the new Division One South, where they remained until they won the title in 2009–10. The club was bought in 2008 by Mazhar Majeed, a UK-based property developer and agent for members of the Pakistan national cricket team. In 2010, following allegations that Majeed was involved in spot-fixing during the Pakistan cricket tour of England, Croydon Athletic were investigated by HM Revenues and Customs due to allegations that Majeed had been using the club for money-laundering purposes, after Majeed was recorded by an undercover journalist stating that that was the only reason he had bought the club. This led to the manager and his assistant leaving the club after a match on 4 September 2010. The following day the club announced on its website that upcoming league and cup games were being postponed, resulting in the team forfeiting an FA Cup match. Following these events squad members began to transfer to other teams, with the club's official website referring to an "exodus from the KT Stadium". On 2 October 2010 the club chairman, David Le Cluse, was found dead, with a bullet wound, having committed suicide in a garage in Sutton.

The club received a £7,500 fine and a ten-point deduction after a case of financial irregularities was proven on 8 December 2011. The club had been charged with twenty-four breaches of FA Rule E1(b) in relation to the 2009/10 season. On 10 December the club was unable to fulfil a fixture away to Ramsgate and stated that it would be unable to fulfil the following weekend's fixture either. This was owing to the Keith Tuckey stadium being locked up, the management team resigning, and most players having found clubs elsewhere. On 16 December the Croydon Advertiser stated that the club was effectively no more

Fans of the club formed AFC Croydon Athletic, which was accepted into the Combined Counties Football League Division One (Level 10, Step 6) for the 2012–13 season

Stadium
Croydon Athletic played at the Keith Tuckey Stadium in Thornton Heath. It is named after the chairman of the club from its foundation in 1986 until his death in March 2006.

Sorry to hear...

 * As a Christian (and yes, I believe that I am "born again", although I don't self-identify as a "born-again Christian" because of what that term means in modern English usage), I honestly disagree with your usage of the term. I respect your position, but my position is that we should just stick with "Christian" ("let both of them grow together until the harvest") and let God do the sorting out. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 21:53, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * What I was trying to say (and obviously should have said more succinctly) was that I respect your (i.e. Phatcat's) position. We just happen to disagree. I apologize if I got more argumentative than I intended. -Aranel (" Sarah  ") 13:19, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Forum di Milano

Forum di Milano (formerly the FilaForum, DatchForum and Mediolanum Forum) is an indoor sports arena that is located in Assago, a small town 3 km outside Milan, Italy. The arena has a seating capacity of 15,800 and is primarily used for basketball, ice hockey, tennis and live concerts.

The venue is the home ground of the EuroLeague and Italian Serie A professional basketball team AX Armani Exchange Milan. In January 2009, the arena changed its name to Mediolanum Forum, replacing the old name of DatchForum.

History
The Forum of Assago was built by Giuseppe Cabassi and his son Luca in 1990. It was named in several different way due to different sponsorships during the years: from 1993 to 2006 it was named FilaForum, from 2006 to 2008 DatchForum and then, from 2009 to 2023, MediolanumForum.

The venue is located in the big Milanofiori complex and it covers an area of 40,000 sqm. The layout of the rooms is organized on 4 superimposed levels below the stands of the central arena. There are also private panoramic rooms (called "SkyBox") on the top floor. The Forum received the 1994 European Prize for Architecture for sports venues awarded by the Italian National Olympic Committee and the Council of Europe. It is also one of two facilities in Italy, along with Palazzo dello Sport in Rome, to be part of the European Arenas Association network.

For the 2014 Euroleague Final Four the venue has been renovated and the capacity increased from 11,500 to 12,700. It was again renovated in 2017, with new internal signs and new colors in the corridors of the rings, also including the reconstruction of the floor.

Sports
The arena has hosted the 1994 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships, the 2003 IIHF Continental Cup Superfinal of ice hockey (together with Lugano's Pista La Resega), WWE Raw and WWE SmackDown in 2007, and the 2009 World Amateur Boxing Championships.

Since 2011, the Forum has also been home to La Grande Sfida, an annual tennis exhibition event played every Christmas. The arena also hosted the EuroLeague Final Four in 2014

Some matches of the 2018 FIVB Volleyball World Championship were held at the venue. The venue also hosted some group phase matches of the FIBA EuroBasket 2022 which Italy hosted alongside Czech Republic in Prague, Georgia in Tbilisi and Germany in Berlin and Cologne.

In July 2024 the 19th World Kendo Championship was held at the forum.

It will be the figure skating and short track venue during the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Cooper River Bridges (1929–2005)

The Cooper River Bridges were a pair of cantilever truss bridges that carried traffic over the Cooper River in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. The first bridge opened in 1929, a second one opened in 1966 to relieve traffic congestion. The Grace Memorial Bridge was constructed by a private company known as Cooper River Bridge, Inc, and the Pearman Bridge was built by the SCDOT and designed by HNTB Corporation.

Design
The Grace Memorial Bridge carried two narrow 10 ft lanes. The mainspan of the second cantilever was the twelfth-longest in the world. The total length of the structure was about 2.7 mi. Following a 17-month construction at a cost of $6 million, it opened with a three-day celebration that attracted visitors from around the globe. Engineers and critics proclaimed colorful descriptions of the unique structure, deeming it "the first roller-coaster bridge" and citing that "steep approaches, stupendous height, extremely narrow width, and a sharp curve at the dip conspire to excite and alarm the motorist."

The Pearman Bridge consisted of three wide lanes to carry traffic, two carrying US 17 northbound traffic and one lane that carried Southbound traffic. In this manner, the reversible lane could be used in the direction of heavy traffic in the mornings and evenings as Mount Pleasant was effectively a bedroom community at the time. One lane was originally reversible, which led to signs warning "Use lanes with green arrow" and "Do not use red X lane".

History
A group of businessmen, led by Harry F. Barkerding and Charles R. Allen, announced their plans to get a charter from the state to construct a steel bridge across the Cooper River in June 1926. The group formed the Cooper River Bridge, Inc., on June 7, 1926, with Ashmead F. Pringle as the first president. On June 8, 1926, the state issued a charter to the new company to "buy, rent, lease, build or otherwise acquire bridges across streams both intrastate and interstate, together with rights of way and right to construct and own and operate the same, and to charge tolls for passage across and enter upon such bridges, etc."

The ribbon was cut on August 8, 1929, at 1:12 p.m. by Col. James Armstrong, and between 30,000 and 50,000 people crossed the bridge during its first day. The bridge was owned by Cooper River Bridge, Inc., a private company. The bridge was designated as the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge, named after the president of the company, John P. Grace, former mayor of Charleston. The bridge was built by a consortium of four engineering and construction firms. Construction lasted seventeen months, and the final cost of the bridge was six million dollars, to be financed by a 50-cent toll. The bridge originally had two 10 ft lanes.

While meant to be paid off in toll revenue, tolls failed to cover costs, and Charleston County purchased the bridge in 1941 for $4,400,000.

In 1945, Charleston County sold the bridge to the state of South Carolina for $4,150,000.

On February 24, 1946, a freighter known as the Nicaragua Victory rammed into the bridge, ripping down a 240 ft section of it. 5 deaths occurred, all of whom where in the only vehicle that fell off the bridge. Their remains were uncovered one month later, intact inside the car. Because of this, a temporary bailey truss bridge was constructed so that the permanent one could undergo emergency repairs.

Tolls were charged to repay bonds until 1946, a few months after the bridges repairs were completed.

In 1959, widening occurred in order to construct a sidewalk-like breakdown lane on the southbound side.

By the 1960s, the Grace Memorial Bridge had become functionally insufficient, with its two 10 ft lanes built for Ford Model As and its poorly designed ramps that went up to six percent. Later, changes and modifications to the side rail, curbs, and lighting reduced the lane width even further. A ceremony to mark the start of construction of a second span known as the Silas N. Pearman Bridge was held on May 2, 1963. The US$15 million bridge opened to traffic on April 29, 1966. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by 500 people, significantly less than the Grace Memorial Bridge. This span was named for Silas Nathaniel Pearman, who served as chief engineer from 1947 to 1961 and then as chief commissioner from 1961 to 1976. Pearman graduated from Clemson University in 1924 and started at the highway department as a surveyor. He died in 1996. At this point, the Grace Memorial Bridge was retrofitted and converted to serve southbound traffic only.

In 1979, a third lane was added to the Grace Memorial Bridge at the Charleston approach.

In 1979, the Grace Memorial Bridge was posted with a 10 ton weight limit, and trucks were banned. Because of this, the reversible lane on the Pearman Bridge was made southbound permanently, ensuring that trucks had access across the Cooper River at all times. However, this meant that there was always oncoming traffic on the Pearman Bridge, causing many head-on collisions and resulting in many deaths and injuries. The load limit of the Grace Bridge was later reduced down to 5 tons.

Originally, US 701 concurred with US 17 (King Street) over the Bridges. In 1992, US 701's southern terminus was truncated in Georgetown, leaving behind a solo US 17 to travel over the bridges.

In order to reduce head-on collisions, SCDOT installed plastic delineators on the Pearman bridge in 2002.

Replacement
By 1979, both bridges had become functionally obsolete and there were plans to replace it, but they were ultimately scrapped as there was not enough money. In 1995, the Grace Memorial Bridge scored only a 4 out of 100 (4 percent), or an F, in safety. Arthur Ravenel Jr. ran for South Carolina Senate as a way to solve the problem. He planned for an eight-lane bridge to replace the aging Grace Memorial and dangerous Pearman Bridges that carried US 17. Construction started in 2001 and the new bridge opened in July 2005, at which point the Grace Memorial and Pearman Bridges closed to traffic permanently.

Demolition
After a "Burn The Bridges" run and a parade of 1929-era cars over the empty deck of the Grace Bridge, demolition of the Bridges began in August 2005. There had been a movement to try to sell the bridge or to place it on the National Register of Historic Places so that, after removal, it could be reassembled elsewhere, but most of the steel and concrete was either recycled or dropped into the ocean to start artificial fishing reefs. Demolition of the Grace & and Pearman Bridges took approximately 2 years and required closing the shipping lane for half a day as the main span was cut from the cantilever sections and lowered onto a barge below. The shipping lane was closed from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. for the lowering of the main span. One of the Pearman piers was left standing as a sort of memorial and recognition of the bridge's legacy, and can be seen by motorists entering the new bridge from East Bay Street in Charleston. The contractor had $2 1/2$ years to remove the two bridges and roads. Frank Starmer and Sparky Witte documented the demolition in a book entitled ''End of an Era.

Jane Danson

Jane Danson (born Jane Elizabeth Dawson, 8 November 1978) is an English actress. She is known for her portrayal of Leanne Battersby in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street, between 1997 and 2000, and from 2004 onwards. Her other television credits include Children's Ward (1995–1997), The Grand (1997) and The Bill (2002–2003). For her role on Coronation Street, Danson won the 2011 British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance.

Career
At the age of 12, Danson made her television debut under the name Jane Dawson in the 1991 Alan Bleasdale series GBH playing the part of Eileen Critchley. From 1995 to 1997, Danson played the role of Paula in the ITV children's television drama Children's Ward. In 1996, she also appeared in Out of Tune, a British children's sitcom which was shown on CBBC. She also made an appearance in the first episode of the BBC's Hetty Wainthropp Investigates which was aired in January 1996.

In 1997, Danson landed parts in the ITV period drama series The Grand, in which she played the role of Monica Jones for seven episodes, and then in the top-rated ITV soap opera Coronation Street, playing teenager Leanne Battersby. The Battersby family were dubbed the "Neighbours From Hell" and made an immediate impact on the long-running show's loyal audience. Danson left the show in 2000, not long after a harrowing storyline that saw her character become a drug addict. Danson's next role was as Nurse Samantha Docherty in the drama series Always and Everyone (also known as A&E) from 2001 to 2002. She then later joined the cast of ITV police drama The Bill in 2002. Danson portrayed Gemma Osbourne, the first lesbian police officer in the show's history. However, the role was short-lived and she left in 2003.

In 2004, Danson rejoined the cast of Coronation Street as Leanne. In early 2006, it was announced that Danson was pregnant and she left Coronation Street at the end of July for maternity leave. She returned to filming in January 2007, making her first appearance back on screen two months later. In January 2007, Danson appeared in the second series of Soapstar Superstar but was eliminated after the overnight vote on the second show. However, a subsequent investigation into malpractice on the part of ITV in viewer voting revealed that while Danson and Tupele Dorgu were both put forward for elimination at the end of the first episode, it had in fact been Verity Rushworth and Leon Lopez who scored lowest in the poll and should therefore have been the two options.

Television appearances
Danson appeared on the first celebrity edition of Stars in Their Eyes. Alongside four other actresses from Coronation Street, they impersonated the Spice Girls.

In 2019, Danson took part in the eleventh series of Dancing on Ice alongside professional partner Sylvain Longchambon. Following a skate-off against Melody Thornton and Ryan Sidebottom, Danson and Sidebottom were eliminated in Week 7.

Personal life
Danson attended Radcliffe High School, Radcliffe near Bury in Greater Manchester. She began dating former Brookside actor Robert Beck in 1999 and the two married in December 2005. The couple met at the 1999 British Soap Awards. Danson said that she had a crush on Beck since she was 15. On their marriage, Danson said in 2018, "Rob's absolutely my best friend in the world. We've only had about two rows in twenty years." The couple have two sons together: Harry (born July 2006) and Sam (born February 2009). In December 2018, Danson revealed that she had miscarried a third child, which she and Beck discovered at their three-month scan.

Youth of America

Youth of America is the second studio album by American punk rock band Wipers. It was released in 1981 by record label Park Avenue.

Content
The album marked a distinctive change in the band's sound. Compared to its predecessor, Is This Real?, which was composed mostly of raw, sleek and relatively traditional songs, Youth of America featured much longer and more complex compositions; the title track alone clocks in at over 10 minutes. According to frontman Greg Sage, this change of pace was a deliberate counter-reaction against the trend of releasing short songs, which many punk bands did at the time.

The Quietus noted the album's genre as post-punk and further described its style as "a six track set of lowly garage rock which traverses the cosmos irrespective. Secondly, it's a gothic downer but leavened by motion and momentum thanks to its krautrock influences. And lastly it's a grittily real punk record defined by an unerring air of unreality – as unromantic as it is fantastical". Rolling Stone has called the record "proto-grunge", and bands such as Melvins, Nirvana and Hole have covered their work.

Release and reception
Released in 1981, Youth of America was, according to Sage, not well received in the United States at the time of its release, but fared better in Europe.

In its retrospective review, Consequence of Sound wrote, "(f)rom its style of production and songwriting to its driving, angular guitar work coupled with anthemic hooks, Youth of America is as strong and fresh-sounding today as it was 30 years ago". The Quietus wrote "there may be more essential punk albums out there but never again did the genre sound so searching". Head Heritage noted its "enduring legacy".

Youth of America was later reissued on record labels Backbone and Restless, with different covers for each, and on Sage's own Zeno Records as the second disc of the Wipers Box Set, albeit with a different running order to the original vinyl issue.

Legacy
Along with other Wipers records, Youth of America has since come to be acknowledged as an important album in the development of American underground and independent rock movements of the early 1980s. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth cited the album as an inspiration, and covered the track "Pushing the Extreme" with Keith Nealy for Wipers tribute album Fourteen Songs for Greg Sage and The Wipers.

The title track was covered by Melvins on their 2001 album Electroretard and by Mission of Burma on the live album Snapshot. Kurt Cobain listed it in his top 50 albums of all time.

Pitchfork ranked the title track at No. 173 on their list of "The 200 Best Songs of the 1980s" and ranked the album at No. 102 on their list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 1980s".

Reception
Exclaim! described it as a "celebration of darkness and foreboding" and praised "[Wumpscut founder Rudy] Ratzinger's talent for writing a catchy song", noting the presence of "several boot tappers that make you want to hit the dance floor", but warned that the album is "not for the faint-hearted" due to its "heaviness," which makes it "an exhausting listen". CMJ New Music Monthly said that it was an "epic masterpiece". PopMatters was far more negative, calling it "one of the most soul-destroying, nasty, nightmarish, and unintentionally comical albums of recent memory", with "phenomenally dull hooks" and "lyrics[...] which I guess we’re supposed to ignore (I hope)", and particularly emphasizing that the songs "Christfuck" and "Opening the Gates of Hell" were "as hilarious as their titles"; PopMatters did, however, concede that "Eclipse (Kaelte Container Remix)" features "genuine joyous danceability".

Talk:Lawrence Franklin espionage scandal

2004 article name discussion
Content moved from Talk:Larry Franklin. --Uncle Bungle 00:21, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

A better article title will have to be found as more detail becomes known.

 * Move it to the person's name when it's known. 24.123.221.2 01:05, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * the word "allegation" should also figure in the title until a conviction, admission or general consensus. - pir 13:51, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The title and premise of this article are incorrect. It's not a Mossad mole, but an Israeli mole. Mossad is a specific agency within the Isreali government. No one is reporting anything about Mossad in this story. The mole allegedly passed information to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which passed it onto the Isreali government.

 * Indeed. The Mossad mole was busy burrowing in Governor Jim McGreevey's bed. - Jack Spade 17:07, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Why Jim McGreevey? Why would an intelligence agency ever bother with the Governor of New Jersey? No, somehow that makes no sense. --Penta 02:49, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Some people would blame Mossad for the weather being bad if they could. Even stubbing their toes becomes a Mossad conspiracy :P Impi 22:54, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Some of them work at the FBI's counterintelligence desk. A nest of Israel-haters. PaulinSaudi 10:35, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)]]

Separate article about investigation
This is getting too unwieldy and about a lot more than Franklin. Shouldn't much of the scandal story be spun off into its own article? Any suggestions for what to call it?Daniel Case 03:34, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

OK, this has been done. Discussion and editing will continue at AIPAC espionage scandal. Daniel Case 19:17, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

NOT OK, that has been undone, thus censoring discussion and editing has been halted as a seperate article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.200.105.194 (talk) 21:19, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Missing details
Their is no mention in the article about the AIPAC members Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman fired by AIPAC for their alleged involvement in the scandal and subsequantly being tried. (see ). --Cab88 20:17, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes there is:

Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, who were employed by AIPAC at the time ... Rosen was further charged with one count each of the first two, and Weissman with one count of the first charge.
 * Read the whole thing before you post here. Daniel Case 19:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I think the title is misleading as is some of the material. So far, there is no evidence or even any accusation that AIPAC had him spying for them. The story seems to be that he was unhappy with the policies of his higher ups, so he asked for lunch with some aipac people and without telling them or being asked, he simply GAVE them information he hoped they would use in ways that furthered his own agenda.

If I were to walk up to someone and surprise them by giving them confidential information about my employer, I would not be spying for "them" even though I have committed a crime. User:129.68.236.175 20:12, 30 August 2006

I removed a brief portion of one sentence that referenced Michael Ledeen as Karl Rove's adviser on foreign policy. The sourced information did not support this wording. Ledeen is only mentioned as an outside adviser that HAS been consulted on certain matters. The original wording indicated that Ledeen was on the White House staff as an adviser to Karl Rove. -- Gabrielsutherland 18:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Name
Isnt this all about Franklin? Besides that, Israel and AIPAC have strongly denied any involvement in espionage activities against the United States. Thus the article is POV and infers one side, especially considering the title is used by several anti-Israel sources. The title should be changed.

I accidentally tripped across this story. I watch the news fairly regularly, it probably was touched on by the major media but their enthusiasm for the story has certainly been muted. Any reason/s for the, not blackout, grayout of the story?159.105.80.141 12:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup
I removed a lot of material from this page that seemed to be irrelevant. I also took out the entire last section, which came from a single think tank. I haven't heard of it before, but a cursory look at their website seems to indicate that it is not a reliable source. However, there are valid 1st Ammendment concerns related to this case. I don't have time right now, but we could use a couple of paragraphs on that topic. Dchall1 18:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

AIPAC espionage scandal
The article name and lead are misleading. Larry Franklin passed information to AIPAC officials and was prosecuted for that. However the AIPAC passed information to foreign country, making this an espionage case. So the correct name for the article is AIPAC espionage scandal (or case, or incident?). Maybe even more important is that in media it is mainly mentioned as "AIPAC case", "AIPAC trial", etc. --Magabund 21:06, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

New name for page?
Should this issue be known as an "espionage" scandal when Franklin was ultimately charged with unauthorized disclosure of classified information, NOT with espionage?ShamWow (talk) 04:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I will let the lawyer-types argue that one, but it also may be more correct to add the term 'conviction'. CasualObserver'48 (talk) 06:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Who's "Rosen"?
The article refers to a "Rosen" a couple of times without mentioning who that is. Rōnin (talk) 15:37, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to presume it's the "Steve J. Rosen" mentioned below and move the reference to him further up in the article. Rōnin (talk) 21:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Inalpi Arena

Palasport Olimpico, officially operating with the sponsored name Inalpi Arena except during events prohibiting sponsorship names when it is usually known as simply PalaOlimpico, or occasionally PalaIsozaki after its architect, is a multi-purpose indoor arena located within Torino Olympic Park in the Santa Rita district of Turin, Italy. Opened in December 2005, the arena has a seating capacity of 12,350 when it is configured for ice hockey, and it is the largest indoor sporting arena in Italy.

The arena was originally built at a cost of €87 million, for the 2006 Winter Olympics, and along with the Torino Esposizioni, it hosted the ice hockey events. It is a few metres east of the Olympic Stadium. Since 2021, the Pala Alpitour has been the host venue of the tennis ATP Finals.

Between 8 August 2014 and January 2024, the arena was renamed to Pala Alpitour following a sponsorship deal with Italian travel company Alpitour and in November 2020 became the fifth arena, the first in Italy, to be admitted as a member to the International Venue Alliance circuit. On 11 January 2024, a five-year agreement was announced with Inalpi (a dairy company based in Moretta) to become the new naming sponsor of the arena, which thus becomes Inalpi Arena.

Construction
The design of the building was the subject of an international competition, which was won in June 2002. The winning bid consisted of a team composed of Arata Isozaki and Andrea Maffei Associates, who directed the design, with ArchA SpA of Turin, Arup Italia of Milan and Favero & Milan Ingegneria, engineer Giuseppe Amaro and the architect Marco Brizio.

The final project bears the joint signature of the architects Isozaki and Pier Paolo Maggiora of ArchA SpA and is part of the larger complex called the Central Olympic Complex (Torino Olympic Park) consisting of the Olympic Stadium, water sports facility Palazzo del Nuoto and the park in Piazza d'Armi.

Architecture and design
The futuristic building's exterior has a strict rectangular Cartesian coated stainless steel and glass structure, with a base of 183 by 100 metres. It is spread over four levels, of which two are underground (up to 7.5 metres below ground) and two outdoors (up to 12 metres high). The overall length of the structure is about 200 metres. The structure, designed to be a veritable factory of events, using the words of its architect. The arena is completely flexible and adaptable in its internal structure, and with the arrangement of the stands. Due to a modern system of movable and retractable bleachers, and also the option of a temporary movable deck. The structure's acoustics are also adaptable.

Events
The arena is a kind of "magic box", and was designed to host many different types of events beyond the Olympics. It serves as a venue for events including concerts, exhibitions, trade fairs, conferences, and various sports, such as basketball, ice hockey, curling and volleyball. Since its opening, the Pala Alpitour has become one of Italy's most booked venues for large-scale concerts. It is also the largest capacity venue in Italy for these type of events, with the allowed maximum capacities set at 15,657 for general admission center-stage concerts, and 13,347 maximum capacity for general admission end-stage concerts.

In addition to concerts, the arena has also been able to host successful touring shows and musicals over the years such as Notre Dame de Paris, Romeo and Juliet, Cirque du Soleil, and occasionally sporting events including WWE professional wrestling in 2007, 2011, in 2014 and 2018, and the car shows Top Gear Live in July 2014 and Fast & Furious Live in September 2018.

Sports
It was inaugurated on 13 December 2005, with the name PalaOlimpico, during a friendly match in ice hockey between the men's national teams of Italy and Canada. Between 10 and 26 February 2006, it was the main venue for the ice hockey events of the 2006 Winter Olympics, hosting the main matches of the first group stage and then all those of the final stages of the men's and women's tournaments.

In January 2007, the venue hosted the opening and closing ceremonies and selected ice hockey matches of the XXIII Winter Universiade.

In basketball, the Pala Alpitour hosted the 2008–09 EuroCup Basketball final stage, and the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament. The Palasport was due to host the 2010–11 season's Final Four of the EuroLeague, as announced on February 16, 2010, but the event was later moved to the Palau Sant Jordi, in Barcelona. It was one of the three main venues of the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments for Men, which was held in Italy, the Philippines, and Serbia on July 4–10, 2016.

The mixed martial arts events Bellator 152 and Bellator 176 were held at Pala Alpitour on 16 April 2016 and 8 April 2017 respectively. The third and final round of the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship were also held at the venue.

From 2021 to 2025, the Pala Alpitour will host the tennis ATP Finals, marking the first time in history in which Italy will host the tournament.

Music
Pala Alpitour has become one of the main venues for music events in Italy. Artists such as Bob Dylan, Madonna, Rihanna, U2, Florence and the Machine, 5 Seconds of Summer, Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande, Shakira, Renato Zero, Tiziano Ferro, Il Volo, Harry Styles, Elisa and Marco Mengoni have performed in the arena.

On 8 October 2021, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Italian broadcaster RAI announced that the venue would host the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, following Italy's victory at the contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands with the song "Zitti e buoni", performed by Måneskin. The semi-finals of the contest took place on 10 and 12 May, and the grand final on 14 May. It was the first time that Turin hosted the contest and the third time that Italy has hosted the contest overall, with the last being in Rome in.

Godalming Town F.C.

Godalming Town Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Godalming, Surrey, England. They are currently members of the and play at the Bill Kyte Stadium.

History
The club was established in 1950 as Godalming United by former pupils of Godalming Grammar School. When Godalming & Farncombe United folded in 1970, the club moved to their Weycourt ground and were renamed Godalming & Farncombe. In 1979 they joined the Combined Counties League, and in 1980 were renamed Godalming Town. League restructuring saw them placed in the Eastern Division of the league for the 1981–82 season, with the league reverting to a single division in 1982. In 1982–83 they won the league's Concours Challenge Trophy, and in 1983–84 the club were league champions.

In 1992 the club was renamed Godalming & Guildford, after the Guildford Football Appeal donated money for a set of floodlights. However, they changed back to Godalming Town in 2005. In 2005–06 they won the Combined Counties League and the league's Premier Challenge Cup, earning promotion to Division One South of the Isthmian League. Although they finished bottom of the division in the following season, they were reprieved from relegation and instead transferred to Division One South & West of the Southern League. At the end of the 2007–08 season the club were moved back to Division One South of the Isthmian League.

A fourth-place finish in 2009–10 saw Godalming qualify for the promotion play-offs. However, after defeating Worthing 2–1 in the semi-finals, they were beaten 2–1 in the final by Folkestone Invicta. They also won the Surrey Senior Cup, beating Sutton United 2–1 in the final. In 2011–12 the club finished fifth, losing 5–3 on penalties to Bognor Regis Town in the play-off semi-finals following a 4–4 draw. They were transferred to Division One Central of the Southern League for the following season, and a third-place finish resulted in another play-off campaign, this time losing 2–1 to Biggleswade Town in the semi-finals. The club also won the Surrey Senior Cup for a second time, again beating Sutton United in the final. They were subsequently transferred to Division One South & West for the 2013–14 season, then back to Division One Central in 2014, before returning to Division One South of the Isthmian League for the 2016–17 season. After finishing bottom of the table, they were relegated to the Premier Division of the Combined Counties League.

At the end of the 2020–21 season Godalming were transferred to Division One of the Southern Combination League.

Ground
Godalming initially played at the Recreation Ground, before moving to the Weycourt ground, taking over the tenancy from Farncombe. Improvement works at the site included moving the pitch to the site of a former rubbish tip. During the works, the club temporarily played at Broadwater Park. In 1985 the main stand from Addlestone & Weybridge Town's Liberty Lane ground was purchased for £225 after the club folded. The ground was renamed the Bill Kyte Stadium in 2018 in honour of a former president.

Aquila Airways

Aquila Airways was a British independent airline, formed on 18 May 1948 and based in Southampton, Hampshire.

History
Aquila was founded by Barry Aikman, initially using two converted Royal Air Force Short Sunderland flying boats, ex-British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), for freight work. During the Berlin Airlift a further 10 Sunderland 3s were acquired, and these flew a total of 265 supply missions during 1948/49 from Finkenwerder on the river Elbe to the river Havel on the outskirts of Berlin.

Operations during 1949–1951
After the end of the Berlin Airlift, Aquila hoped to find work for their fleet on worldwide ad hoc passenger and freight charters, but this plan quickly proved unsuccessful.

Aquila obtained an association agreement with British European Airways (BEA) under which they were permitted to operate scheduled services from Southampton to Lisbon and Madeira. These flight were supplemented by charter flights to a wide variety of destinations. June 1949 brought a series of Sunderland 3 flights with holidaymakers from Falmouth, Cornwall to the Isles of Scilly. Other 1949 charters included seamen from Aden to the UK and from Hull to Helsinki.

The popular Madeira service continued in 1950/51 and was joined by a Southampton to Jersey service from 7 July 1950, which used St Aubins Bay to land its passengers. The airline also provided charter flights for shipping firms.

Operations during 1952
In 1952 Short Solents were acquired second hand. The airline continued to operate schedules to Madeira and the Canary Islands with the newly acquired aircraft.

In 1954 the British Aviation Services Group took control of Aquila Airways, the last commercial flying boat operator in the UK.

Suez Crisis. In 1956 an Aquila Airways flying boat was used to evacuate civilian Suez Canal Company personnel, together with their families, from the Great Bitter Lake to Southampton water, via Grand Harbour, Malta.

During the later 1950s, Aquila Airways faced increasing competition from land based aircraft and being unable to obtain replacement flying boats (offers to purchase the prototype Princess flying boats having been rebuffed), the company announced in July 1958 it would cease operating. This left TEAL as the only long range flying boat passenger airline.

Fleet

 * Short Sandringham I
 * Short Solent 2
 * Short Solent 3
 * Short Solent 4
 * Short Sunderland 3

Accidents and incidents

 * Sunderland 3 'Hythe' class G-AGKY was damaged during takeoff and subsequently capsized and sank at Calshot on 28 January 1953 without injuries to its occupants.
 * Short Solent G-AKNU crashed into Chessell Down, Isle of Wight on 15 November 1957, killing 45 out of the 58 on board.

The cartoon stars Mr. T as a coach to a gymnastics team (with a specific emphasis on members Jeff, Woody, Robin, and Kim), travelling the world while becoming involved in and solving various mysteries.

At the beginning of each episode, a live-action introduction featuring Mr. T himself is shown to explain what is going on. At the end of each episode, Mr. T narrates a moral lesson for the audience.

Characters

 * Mr. T (voiced by himself) – He is the coach of the gymnastics team.
 * Ms. Priscilla Bisby (voiced by Takayo Fischer) – The team's well-mannered bus driver who loves mystery novels. Her catchphrase is "My stars and garters".
 * Jeff Harris (voiced by Shawn Lieber) – The wise guy of the team with a big ego.
 * Woody Daniels (voiced by Phil LaMarr) – An African-American gymnast and Jeff's friendly rival. He hopes to become a lawyer when he retires from gymnastics.
 * Robin O'Neill (voiced by Amy Linker) – A beautiful, green-eyed redhead with freckles who's eager to jump into any situation. She also acts as Mr. T's second-in-command. Her catchphrase is "What the hairy heck?"
 * Kim Nakamura (voiced by Siu Ming Carson) – A Japanese girl who is a daughter to a computer scientist. She has a photographic memory that comes in handy as she can remember various magazine articles and book passages, including the issue or volume, and the page she read it on.
 * Spike O'Neill (voiced by Teddy Field III) – Robin's little brother who worships Mr. T. Note:  In "Secret Of The Spectral Sister,' it's revealed that Spike is just a nickname.  His real name is never revealed.
 * Skye Redfern (voiced by Cathy Cavadini) – A Native American gymnast, whose grandfather was accused of a crime.
 * Garcia Lopez – A Latin American gymnast whose big brother Miguel is an archaeologist. He is a keen photographer.
 * Vince D'Amato – An Italian American who has dreams of being a movie star.
 * Courtney Howard – An African-American girl gymnast whose father is a major in the military. Her uncle is a magician who was previously a burglar.
 * Grant Kline – An ex-gang member who turned his life around thanks to Jeff.
 * Bulldozer – Mr. T's bulldog with a similar mohawk. He is also called Dozer for short.

Influence of Terry Hooley
A film of Hooley's life story was recently released at the opening of the Belfast Film Festival.

It would appear to suggest that Mr Hooley played a significant role in getting the band airtime on John Peel's show (via a contact of his in the BBC whom he had met in his Belfast shop).

If that's true, perhaps that significant event should be attributed to Mr Hooley. Presently, the article suggests that the Undertones themselves sent a copy of the song directly to John Peel and does not refer to any third party's help.

Section headings
The section headings for the various periods in the band's initial career, including the overaching "Casbah Rock" heading, do not seem to fit Wikipedia style. They read like a music critic's artful chapter headings rather than the no-frills informative headings I expect to see on Wikipedia. I do realize that some of them, at least, borrow wording from the band's song titles, but the sections are not necessarily about those songs specifically--it seems to be "poetic license" rather than neutral description.Jcejhay (talk) 13:25, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Project Sign

Project Sign or Project Saucer was an official U.S. government study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) undertaken by the United States Air Force (USAF) and active for most of 1948. It was the precursor to Project Grudge.

History
The project was established in 1948 by Air Force General Nathan Farragut Twining, head of the Air Technical Service Command, and was initially named Project SAUCER. The goal of the project was to collect, evaluate, and distribute within the government all information relating to UFO sightings, on the premise that they might represent a national security concern.

On April 27, 1949, the U.S. Air Force publicly released a paper prepared by the Intelligence Division of the Air Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Field, Ohio. The paper stated that while some UFOs appeared to represent actual aircraft, there was not enough data to determine their origin. Almost all cases were explained by ordinary causes, but the report recommended a continuation of the investigation of all sightings.

Project Sign was first asserted in the 1956 book The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects by retired Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt who later directed Project Blue Book. In this he also claimed that Sign had produced an "Estimate of the Situation" which endorsed an interplanetary explanation for UFOs, but General Hoyt Vandenberg, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, shut down Project Sign for lack of proof. No copy of this document or any other corroboration of Ruppelt's claim has been produced, and Popular Mechanics called the report "probably more mythological than real".

Project Sign was followed by Project Grudge after a conclusion was reached that UFO reports could be exploited by a foreign power to induce panic in the population and were therefore a military issue in the post-WW II, Cold War climate. This led Project Grudge to publicly disparage all UFO reports as the result of "a. Misidentifications of various conventional objects. b. A mild form of mass-hysteria and war nerves. c. Individuals who fabricate such reports to perpetuate a hoax or to seek publicity. d. Psychopathological persons."

Caldwell investigation
In May 1949, officers of Project Sign received a letter from an aeronautical company shareholder, who explained that the company had been building aircraft similar to the "flying saucers" which were then a popular topic in the press. This was during the UFO craze following Kenneth Arnold's reports of seeing UFOs over Mount Rainier and the Roswell Incident that followed. The Air Force had canvassed for reports of flying saucers, and the shareholder apparently felt that inventor Jonathan Edward Caldwell's disk-rotor might explain them.

Tracking down the leads, the team, accompanied by the Maryland Police, visited an abandoned farm in Glen Burnie, Maryland (outside Baltimore), where the damaged remains of Caldwell's disk-rotor aircraft were discovered. They also tracked down Driggers, who told them the story of the attempted flight in 1937–8. The team reported that the prototypes could not be responsible for the "flying saucer" reports that were being received from all around the country.

Photographs of the broken disk-rotor machine continue to appear in UFOs books to this day. They were often described as "crashed" flying saucers in earlier works, claiming it was one more example of the USAF being in possession of such vehicles. More recently they are normally connected with the claims that the Nazis had built working flying saucers late in the war, lumped together with other disk-shaped aircraft like the Avrocar, Sack AS-6 and Vought V-173, in an effort to demonstrate that such aircraft were both possible and well-researched.

Category talk:Indigenous languages of the Americas

CFD Discussion
This category is redundant. Languages are already classified by genetic affiliation (e.g. Navajo language belongs to Category:Southern Athabaskan languages which belongs to Category:Athabaskan languages which belongs to Category:Na-Den languages which belongs to Category:Languages) and by region (e.g. Navajo language belongs to Category:Languages of North America which belongs to Category:Languages by country (which itself should be renamed to Category:Languages by continent or Category:Languages by region) which belongs to Category:Languages). There's also considerable inconsistency in membership: Category:Southern Athabaskan languages, Category:Athabaskan languages and Category:Na-Dené languages all belong to both Category:Native American languages and to Category:Languages, while Category:Algic languages belongs only to Category:Native American languages. I would say only Category:Na-Dené languages and Category:Algic languages should belong to Category:Languages, which should really be only a category of subcategories (separate language families) as much as possible. --Angr 10:08, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * This category was listed for deletion on March 9, 2005. Consensus was to Keep.

Summary after 3 weeks — borderline consensus to Keep => move to resolved
 * 1 Delete: Node
 * 3 Keep: Ceyockey, Thryduulf, MadreBurro

 * Comment Would this category be okay if it were more consistently applied? As a layperson who is interested in languages but completely unfamiliar with the family groupings (and therefore unable to effectively use them), I find it very helpful. -Aranel ("Sarah ") 18:13, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Keep. The multi-axial classification proposed by Ish ishwar sounds reasonable. Courtland 23:24, 2005 Mar 12 (UTC)  Well, there are articles for Native American languages and Native American, and the languages article has a top level genetic classification but not a complete languages list. However, it would be useful to have a simple list of Native American languages with their "full path" through the classification scheme, such as Angr outlined above; such could be a subpage of the languages article, for instance. Courtland 00:10, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)
 * Comment. I dont know about deletion.  It is true that there is a Native American languages article that has the top level genetic groupings. But so do other specific language family articles, such as Algic languages.  Here is what I think that we need if we want to be perfect:
 * a genetic classification
 * an areal classification
 * by continent
 * by country (?)
 * by cultural area (which overlaps country & continent boundaries)
 * by culture/history (which would give us our Native American grouping)
 * I think we need a "Native American" group somewhere because many laypersons dont even know that Native Americans speak many different unrelated languages. They are just grouped all together into a kind of non-Euro-American American category.  Of course we need the genetic and areal groupings because they are the standard way to classify languages. So, I think we could classify Klallam as (1) Salishan language family (2) North American (3) USA (4) Northwest Coastal (5) Native American.  This would be a lot of work, esp. since most Nat. Amer. langs do not even have an article. - Ish ishwar 23:47, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)
 * We could do that. Each language could have three nestings tracing it back to Category:Languages, thus for example:
 * Klallam language < Category:Salishan languages < Category:Languages
 * Klallam language < Category:Languages of the United States < Category:Languages of North America < Category:Languages by country < Category:Languages
 * Klallam language < Category:Native American languages of the Northwest Coast < Category:Native American languages < Category:Languages
 * --Angr 07:21, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and rework as per Angr. Thryduulf 08:30, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and group like Angr says. MadreBurro 17:54, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. What about Category:Native Asian languages or Category:Native European languages? --Node 05:56, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Category:Indigenous languages of the Americas (division into geo-cultural areas)

South American culture areas
hi. does anyone know what is the received list of culture areas in South America (assuming there is one)? I know there is that multivolume handbook from the 1950s (which I havent looked at), but I was wondering if anyone had read anything more recent. The only thing I have looked up so far is the 12 "geolinguistic regions" of Terrence Kaufman (1990, 1994), which he says are based on genetic linguistic, typological linguistic, cultural, and geographical features. I am using Kaufman's list in Category:Indigenous languages of the Americas (which you can see there). Any other competing culture area lists?

(by the way, little has been mentioned of culture areas in North America. Mesoamerica does have related articles.). peace – ishwar  (speak)  17:37, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Terrence Kaufman's "geolinguistic regions"
It would be useful to include an explanation of these "geolingustic regions", for example The Cone. What areas belong to the respective regions? -- Robert Weemeyer 05:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

 * yes, so noted. i guess i will be the one to do this. i should write a page on this, shouldnt i. maps would also be very instructive...

 * thanks for the note/reminder. peace – ishwar  (speak)  18:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * While you're at it, please consider Pacific Northwest Sprachbund, which needs a linguist to write it; I just know about it. As for geolinguistic regions, not sure what or where those are, but it sounds like it relates to discussions at Template talk:Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest/Template talk:Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast (both re a merge proposal) and Template talk:Coast Salish and similar.  We have a standard Coast/Interior division in these parts, and not just for native culture/history, but still culture/political regions spill not only across political boundaries and mountain ranges but also over linguistic boundaries. e.g. the Gitxsan-Wet'suwet'en include an Athapaskan twin-half of a coastal-culture society and similarly the Tahltan are usually included in discussions of Coast cultures because of their links to the Tlingit and Nisga'a; and the Inland Tlinkit of BC and Yukon are located throughout an otherwise Athapaskan geolinguistic region.  We've had a latter-day tendency to confuse langauge with nationalism/self-determination, which is why people of the same langauae were grouped together when thyey wern't politically connected...except as enemies.  Anyway just a heads-up on these templates and discussion; maybe has nothing to do with "gelinguistic regions' but it sounds like it might....17:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

New Logo?
With the release of the annual report for 2018 I was hoping to hear from other users about updating the current tri-service logo to a higher res image or possibly the newer logo featured on the report cover as seen here.

A Samoan news site has a well detailed Defence Force logo which includes the coat of arms and correct image type with .png transparency, see here. It lacks the tri-service logos underneath but as the page is focused on the Defence Force as a whole I think a larger/high-res coat of arms with relevant text would be more suitable. And of course the NZ Defence website as well as many recent documents are utilizing the ubiquitous kiwi logo which has both white and black variants, white one featured here. I would welcome any discussion on this. —Expansewalker (talk) 14:46, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Andrew Little no longer the current defence minister?
Andrew is nonincumbent. Who is the current defence minister? Winston Peters!? 125.238.84.60 (talk) 09:47, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

 * A new government has yet to be formed. Until then, and without any unusualities, I imagine Little will remain Minister of Defence. Feel free to update this page and that one when you hear the new announcements. — HTGS (talk) 05:43, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Saint Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex

The Saint Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex (Спортивно-концертный комплекс «Петербургский») was an arena in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was closed in August 2019, and was subsequently demolished in 2020 for the construction of a new modern complex which opened in 2023.

History
In Soviet time, it was called V. I. Lenin Sport & Concert Complex (Спортивно-концертный комплекс им. В. И. Ленина). The complex was completed in 1979 and opened in 1980.

Besides concerts, the arena was used for various sports, notably tennis, as it was the location of the St. Petersburg Open. Other sports events hosted at the SKK include bowling, tennis table, fencing.

On January 31, 2020, the roof and a large portion of the walls collapsed during the process of dismantling, resulting in the death of one worker.

Black Mesa Peabody Coal controversy

Peabody Energy mined coal at the Black Mesa plateau in the southwestern United States from the 1960s until 2019. The plateau overlaps the Navajo and Hopi reservations.

Controversy arose from an unusually generous mineral lease agreement between the Tribes and Peabody Energy and the company's depletion of the Navajo aquifer, which threatened Navajo water rights.

Controversy
In 1964, Peabody Energy (then Peabody Western Coal), a publicly traded energy company based in the Midwestern United States, signed a contract with the Navajo Tribe and two years later with the Hopi Tribe, allowing the company mineral rights and use of an aquifer. The contract was negotiated by prominent natural resources attorney John Sterling Boyden, who claimed to be representing the Hopi Tribe while actually on the payroll of Peabody. It offered unusually advantageous terms for Peabody and was approved despite widespread opposition. The contract is also controversial because of misrepresentations made to the Hopi and Navajo tribes.

Peabody Energy developed two coal strip mines on the Black Mesa reservation: the Black Mesa Mine and the Kayenta Mine. The company pumped water from the underground Navajo Aquifer for washing coal, and, until 2005, in a slurry pipeline operation to transport extracted coal 273 mi to the Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nevada. With the pipeline operating, Peabody pumped an average of 3 million gallons of water from the Navajo Aquifer every day. The aquifer is the main source of potable groundwater for the Navajo and Hopi tribes, who use the water for farming and livestock as well as drinking and other domestic uses. The tribes alleged that the pumping of water by Peabody Energy caused a severe decline in the number of springs and reduced their access to potable water. Both tribes, situated in an arid semi-desert, attach religious significance to water, consider it sacred, and have cultural, religious, and practical objections to over-use of water.

The Mohave Generating Station produced energy for Arizona, southern California, and Nevada. This was the only coal slurry operation in the country and the only plant that used groundwater for transport.

Coal from the Kayenta mine was moved via conveyor belt to a silo from where it was loaded and shipped by train to the Navajo Generating Station coal plant.

The Black Mesa Mine's last day of operation was December 31, 2005. The Office of Surface Mining approved Peabody's permit request to continue operations at the mine on December 22, 2008. However, in January 2010, an administrative law judge, on appeal of that approval, decided that the Final Environmental Impact Statement did not satisfy the National Environmental Policy Act because it did not take into account changed conditions, and vacated the approval.

Operations at the Kayenta Mine were ceased in 2019.

Talk:Honker Union

Untitled
This entry is not written in english or anything that even remotely resembles english. To the extent I can comprehend the intended meaning, I have "fixed" the sentences so that they have content in the english language.Cokerwr 18:32, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

conspiracy theory
"Given the current political situation in China, it is relatively certain that Honker activities are monitored, directed and in some cases even micromanaged by the central government."

Cokerwr's own intrepretation is against the common thought about hactivitism developed in China in recent years. Hactivisim is regarded as a part of Weiquan Movement (維權運動) which is uncontrolled by the government. A few days ago, another Weichuan Movement 'poster boy' has even been prohibited from going aboard. As Wiki is not a place for showing up conspiracy theory as well as wrong interpretation, the sentence is removed. I think Cokerwr had better edit the writing style of this entry, rather than adding personal intrepretation on a topic that he is not faimilar with. --Yau 13:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Hong Kong and SQL Slammer
I removed the following paragraph from the article:

''The name Honker has been misunderstood as indicating a relation of some kind with Hong Kong. In January 2003, the "worm" SQL Slammer appeared in the Internet. As proof of concept exploit code for the SQL Server bug utilised by SQL Slammer, written by David Litchfield, was found in the Honker Union website, it was speculated that the worm was spread by Honkers. The Associated Press misstated that Honker might be a Hong Kong hacking group, possibly due to their similar names. Though it was a mistake, Hong Kong since then has been falsely connected to Honkers in many other documents. I''

I removed it because the use of the word "Honkers" to mean Hong Kong predates the SQL Slammer worm. It is in fact Australian slang which has been around for years - I first heard it on Neighbours a long time ago. See here for a usage on someone's blog from 2002 - before Slammer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by A bit iffy (talk • contribs) 13:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

 * I have reinstated the paragraph while rephrasing it to acknowledge that Honker already had the meaning of Hongkonger. --Voidvector (talk) 04:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Study of the group by Gregory Walton, the editor of the Infowar Monitor
I feel that given the amount of creditbility IWM has been enjoying after the discovery of GhostNet, this study of the group should be included to describe the relationship between Beijing and Honker. Jim101 (talk) 15:37, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Source requried for this article.
The dark visitor : inside the world of Chinese hackers by Scott J Henderson looks like to be the authoritative book on Chinese hacker underground and the Honker Union. It has been quoted by everyone who is studying Chinese cyber attack by my impression. We need this book to improve this article. Jim101 (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
