Gerald Henderson

Jerome McKinley "Gerald" Henderson Sr. (born January 16, 1956) is an American retired basketball player. He was a combo guard who had a 13-year career in the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1979 until 1992. He played for the Boston Celtics, Seattle SuperSonics, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, and Houston Rockets. Henderson was born in Richmond, Virginia and attended Virginia Commonwealth University.

Henderson is best known for his steal of a James Worthy pass to score a game-tying layup in Game 2 of the 1984 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics eventually prevailed in overtime. In a post-game interview, Henderson said that "For a minute I could hear Johnny Most going, 'Henderson steals the ball!'", in reference to Most's famous call of John Havlicek's steal in the 1965 Eastern Conference finals. Most's actual words were "It goes quickly in now to Magic, back over to Worthy, and it's picked off! Goes to Henderson, he lays it up and in! It's all tied up! A great play by Henderson!"

In the fall of 1984, Henderson was traded to Seattle for the Sonics' first-round pick in 1986, which the Celtics would use to draft Len Bias. He then played for the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Milwaukee Bucks in a three-year span before joining the Detroit Pistons before the 1989-90 season. In Game 4 of that year's NBA Finals, with the Pistons holding a one-point lead over the Trail Blazers, Henderson made a fast-break layup with just over a second to play to push the lead to three points instead of dribbling out the clock. The decision nearly backfired when Portland's Danny Young appeared to make a game-tying desperation three-pointer, but the officials correctly ruled that Young's shot was released just after the buzzer. The Pistons took a 3-1 series lead and won the next game to give Henderson his third NBA championship.

As of 2006, he and his wife run a real estate business in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. Their son, Gerald Henderson Jr. was selected by the Charlotte Bobcats of the National Basketball Association in the 2009 NBA draft. Gerald Jr. played eight NBA seasons for the Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Philadelphia 76ers.

In 2012, Henderson was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.

Glen Arbor, Michigan

Glen Arbor is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Glen Arbor Township, Leelanau County, Michigan, United States. A small tourist town, Glen Arbor lies on an isthmus between Lake Michigan and Glen Lake. It is adjacent to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Its population was 261 as of the 2020 census, up from 229 at the 2010 census. The community is located along M-22 and the Lake Michigan shore. Glen Arbor has a post office with ZIP code 49636.

History
The land around Glen Arbor was first inhabited by Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi peoples, all members of the Council of Three Fires.

By 1886, lumberman D.H. Day bought vast swathes of land north of Glen Lake. He had built a sawmill on the nearby Crystal River, and developed the nearby town of Glen Haven, which led to the growth of Glen Arbor. By the 1900s, the area was recognized as a tourist mecca. In 1971, much of Day's former land was converted to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Etymology
Glen Arbor's name was coined by the wife of one of the area's early settlers. It is a combination of Glen Lake and grapevines that adorned trees in the area.

Geography
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the community has an area of 1.044 mi2, of which 1.028 mi2 is land and 0.016 mi2 is water.

Glen Arbor is bordered to the south by the shores of Glen Lake, to the west by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and to the north by Lake Michigan. Meandering to the east of the town, the Crystal River intersects many roads and hiking trails before terminating in Lake Michigan.

Major highways

Ri Myung-hun

Ri Myung-hun (born 14 September 1967), also known as Michael Ri after his favorite basketball player Michael Jordan, is a North Korean former basketball player. At a height of 236 cm and a weight of 128 kg, he is believed to be the tallest person in North Korea.

Basketball career
Ri played the center position for the national basketball team of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Once proclaimed to be the tallest living human being in the world, he stands 236 cm tall and once planned to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the 1990s. According to the Associated Press, he was "the world's tallest basketball player."

In anticipation of joining the NBA, Ri worked out in Canada, where he was scouted by numerous teams. But he was unable to play in the league because of a U.S. ban on trade set forth in a piece of legislation called the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917. The U.S. Department of State permitted Ri to compete in the country in 2000, on the main condition that none of Ri's salary could be repatriated to North Korea. North Korean officials responded by refusing to let Ri leave. Kim Jong-il told NBA scout Tony Ronzone he would allow Ri to leave North Korea and play professional basketball if the team paid Kim's government in wheat. Ri was permitted to conduct an interview with CNN's Mike Chinoy in which he was quoted as saying, "I'm a big man. I want to test my ability. I am not interested in money or politics. As a sportsman, I just want to try." Eventually, Ri said he was content to remain playing basketball in the "bosom" of North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-il. In a game between mixed teams of players from North Korea and South Korea, Ri scored 26 points in 21 minutes, though his "dankyol" (solidarity) side lost 141–138.

Personal life
On 28 December 2011, North Korean television showed footage from the funeral of Kim Jong Il in which an unusually tall person was seen in the crowd. The person was speculated to have been Ri Myung-hun.

Earle B. Mayfield

Earle Bradford Mayfield (April 12, 1881 – June 23, 1964) was a Texas lawyer who, from 1907 to 1913, was a Texas State Senator. In 1922, he was elected to the U.S. Senate as a Democrat. He was the first U.S. Senator to be widely considered by the voters to be a member of the revived Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s. Mayfield quietly accepted KKK support but never said he had joined. He was defeated for reelection in 1928 when his opponent attacked his links to the KKK.

Early life
Mayfield was born in Overton, Texas, April 12, 1881, to the marriage of John Blythe Mayfield (1857–1921) and Mary Ellen DeGuerin (1859–1886). He graduated from high school in Timpson, Texas, and then from Tyler Business College.

In 1900, Mayfield graduated from Southwestern University, and he studied law at the University of Texas at Austin from 1900 to 1901. He continued to study law, was admitted to the bar in 1907, and practiced in Meridian, Bosque County. Mayfield was also involved in several business ventures including the wholesale grocery industry and operation of several farms.

State politics
Mayfield, a Democrat, was, with the support of the Ku Klux Klan, elected to the Texas State Senate, where he served from 1907 to 1913. He was also a member of the Texas Railroad Commission from 1913 to 1923.

United States Senate
In 1922, Mayfield was one of six candidates who challenged five-term United States Senator Charles A. Culberson for the Democratic senatorial nomination. In the ensuing runoff between Mayfield and former Governor James E. Ferguson, Mayfield was openly allied with the Ku Klux Klan in support of prohibition and continued segregation of Whites and Blacks, while Ferguson spoke-out against the Klan and was strongly against prohibition and was a known abolitionist. At the time, the sale of alcoholic beverages was illegal throughout the United States under the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

After securing the endorsement of the other U.S. Senator from Texas, Morris Sheppard of Texarkana, Mayfield won the Democratic nomination. In the general election held on November 7, 1922, Mayfield faced the Independent candidate George Peddy, who also had the backing of the Republican Party. Because Peddy's name was not on the ballot, his supporters waged a write-in campaign. Peddy's write-in effort netted him a third of the vote.

After the election, Peddy challenged the results on the grounds of disputes over filing deadlines and other technical issues. A Senate committee ruled in Mayfield's favor, and the full Senate voted to seat him, but his swearing in was delayed. He took office on December 3, 1923.

in 1928, Mayfield faced a large field of candidates, and was defeated in the runoff by Tom Connally, a member of the United States House of Representatives from McLennan County; winning the Democratic nomination was tantamount to winning the overall election. Connally went on to win the seat, succeeding Mayfield.

In 1930, Mayfield sought the Democratic nomination for governor, but finished seventh among eleven candidates. Ross Sterling won the election.

Retirement and death
After losing his Senate seat, Mayfield moved to Tyler. He continued to practice law and manage his business interests until retiring in 1952.

Mayfield died in Tyler on June 23, 1964, and was buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Tyler.

Family
On June 10, 1902, in Bosque County, Texas, Mayfield married Ora Lumpkin (1882–1979). They were the parents of three sons. Mayfield's uncle, Allison Mayfield (1860–1923), had been the Texas Secretary of State and, from January 5, 1897, Chairman of the Railroad Commission until his death, January 23, 1923.

Legacy
Mayfield received the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters from John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

Mark Brown (footballer, born 1981)

Mark Brown (born 28 February 1981) is a Scottish former professional footballer, who played as a goalkeeper.

Brown played for both Old Firm clubs, Rangers and Celtic, and also played for Motherwell, Inverness CT, Kilmarnock, Hibernian, Ross County and Dumbarton. Brown represented Scotland B twice, during his time with Inverness.

Early career
Brown, a goalkeeper, started his career with Rangers, where he made just five first team appearances as a young player, before moving on to Motherwell. Brown made 19 appearances with Motherwell before the club's financial difficulties forced them into administration; Brown was one of 19 players released by the club to lessen its wage bill.

Inverness CT
Brown earned a contract with Inverness CT in the summer of 2002 after impressing then-manager Steve Paterson, and quickly became an indispensable member of the first team squad. Brown also played international football for Scotland B.

After joining Inverness, Brown's reputation as a talented goalkeeper grew, helped by his performances for the club in the Scottish First Division, the Scottish Cup and the SPL. The highlights of his career include a Scottish Cup Player of the Round award in March 2003, after his performance in goal helped Inverness to a 1–0 quarter-final win against Celtic.

Celtic
With Brown's contract due to expire in the summer of 2007, Inverness CT accepted an undisclosed "six figure" transfer fee from Celtic for the goalkeeper's services in January, rather than risk him leaving on a free transfer at the end of the season. The player joins the list of players to have crossed the Old Firm divide and play for both teams. Brown largely served Celtic as a back-up to Artur Boruc, making only 13 league appearances for the club. The signings of Dominic Cervi and Łukasz Załuska pushed Brown down Celtic's selection order.

Hibernian expressed interest in signing Brown during the summer of 2009, but Celtic rejected this approach as they wanted a transfer fee for his services. Brown was then loaned instead to fellow SPL side Kilmarnock in September 2009, until January 2010. Kilmarnock required cover for the injured Alan Combe; Brown played in 14 league matches for the Ayrshire side.

Hibernian
Celtic released Brown in January 2010, which allowed him to sign for Hibernian. Brown competed with Graeme Smith and Graham Stack for the Hibernian goalkeeping position, an area which manager John Hughes said had caused him "concern". Brown did not play for Hibs during the rest of the 2009–10 season, partly due to injury. He had to wait until a 3–0 defeat by Rangers on 22 August to make his debut for Hibs, 204 days after he signed for the club.

Brown kept his place in the Hibs team until January 2011, when new manager Colin Calderwood decided to give opportunities to his other goalkeepers under a rotation policy. Brown played less often during the 2011–12 season, featuring only in Scottish League Cup ties during the early part of the season. He played in four games during January after Stack was injured, but he was dropped after a 4–0 defeat against Rangers. Stack was then injured during the Scottish Cup semi-final victory against Aberdeen, allowing Brown to play for the rest of the season.

Despite a poor performance in the 2012 Scottish Cup Final defeat by Hearts, his agent Kevin Drinkell said that Hibs wanted to agree a new contract with Brown. Later in the close season, however, Hibs signed Ben Williams as first choice goalkeeper and gave a new contract to Calum Antell. Brown then went on trial with Southend United.

Ross County
Brown signed for Ross County in August 2012 and made his debut the same month in a Scottish League Cup 4–1 defeat to Raith Rovers. He signed a new contract with Ross County in June 2013. After playing 30 times during the 2013–14 season, Brown signed a new one-year contract on 19 May 2014, the new deal also including taking up the position of the club's goalkeeping coach. At the end of the 2014–15 season, Brown was released by Ross County.

Dumbarton
In June 2015, after leaving Ross County the previous month, Brown signed a two-year deal with Scottish Championship side Dumbarton. He left the club and retired from the game in March 2017 after making 32 appearances over almost two seasons, to take up a role with the Police.

International career
Brown's impressive form for Inverness Caledonian Thistle earned him a call-up to the Scotland "B" squad, where he played part of the second half in a friendly against Austria in April 2005 and the first half against Turkey in March 2006.

Honours

 * Scottish First Division: 2003–04
 * Scottish Challenge Cup: 2003–04

Neil Johnston

Donald Neil Johnston (February 4, 1929 – September 28, 1978) was an American basketball player and coach. A center, Johnston played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1951 to 1959. He was a member of the Philadelphia Warriors for his entire career. Known for his hook shot, Johnston was a six-time NBA All-Star; he led the NBA in scoring three times and led the league in rebounding once. He won an NBA championship with the Warriors in 1956. After his playing career ended due to a knee injury, Johnston coached in the NBA, in other professional basketball leagues, and at the collegiate level. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a player in 1990.

Early life
Johnston was born on February 4, 1929. He was a 1946 graduate of Chillicothe High School in Chillicothe, Ohio, where he was an all-state player in basketball. He led the Red Devils to an undefeated 16–0 regular season and ranked second in Ohio in 1945–46 as the team won its finale 82–19 behind Johnston's 38 points. He averaged 23.7 per game that year, playing only about half of some games. The team was upset in their second postseason game. Johnston was named second team All-Ohio Associated Press Class A (large school). He was also a high jumper on the track team and qualified for the state track meet and he was on the tennis team.

Johnston attended Ohio State University, where he played both baseball and basketball.

I have to agree that no one should be called "it". English may not have a set of gender-neutral pronouns, but it has become commonplace to use "their" in such a fashion for the singular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.101.7 (talk)

 * Aye, when people "it" me, kinda hard to bite my tounge and smile. (though it helps things go smoother than fussing over pronouns).

Tom Meschery

Thomas Nicholas Meschery (born Tomislav Nikolayevich Meshcheryakov (Томислав Николаевич Мещеряков); October 26, 1938) is an American former professional basketball player. Born in China, Meschery was a power forward with a 10-year National Basketball Association career from 1961 to 1971. He played for the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors and the Seattle SuperSonics. He played in the 1963 NBA All-Star Game, making him the first foreign-born NBA player to be selected as an NBA All-Star. The Warriors not only retired his number 14, but also gave him a unique honor by incorporating the number into the team's logo from 1967 till 1974.

Early years
Meschery was born as Tomislav Nikolayevich Meshcheryakov in Harbin, Manchukuo. His parents were Russian emigrants who fled from the October Revolution in 1917. The Meschery family was later relocated to a Japanese internment camp near Tokyo during World War II.

After the war, Meschery and his parents emigrated to the United States. It was also in this phase of his life where his father renamed the family "Meschery" due to the anti-Communist/anti-Soviet Red Scare under Joseph McCarthy, and Tomislav Nikolayevich was renamed Thomas Nicholas, which later was abbreviated to Tom. Living in San Francisco, California, Meschery attended Lowell High School.

After graduating in 1957, he went to Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga. Meschery helped Saint Mary's reach the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight in 1959. Two years later, he was chosen as a First Team All-American, and was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Year. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1961.

Professional basketball career
After graduating from St. Mary's, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Warriors as the 7th pick overall in the 1961 NBA draft. Meschery played alongside legend Wilt Chamberlain, to whom he later dedicated a poem. Meschery was the starting forward on the 1961-62 Philadelphia Warriors team in which Chamberlain scored 100 points. Meschery led the NBA in personal fouls in 1962 and he became the first foreign born player to play in an NBA All-Star Game when he played in the 1963 NBA All-Star Game. The following year, Meschery made his first Finals appearance, as the Warriors lost 4-1 to the Boston Celtics. Chamberlain left the Warriors in 1965, returning to his home town Philadelphia, to play with the 76ers. The Warriors however, strengthened by the arrival of Rick Barry, made it to the 1967 NBA Finals, in which they lost to Chamberlain's 76ers. After his second NBA Finals appearance, Meschery was selected by the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics during the 1967 NBA Expansion Draft.

In the SuperSonics' inaugural season, Meschery led the team in rebounds (10.2 per game) as well as personal fouls. He retired following the 1970–71 season, having played four seasons for the SuperSonics.

After retiring as a player, Meschery became head coach of the ABA's Carolina Cougars, which he guided to a record of 35–49 in the 1971–72 season before being replaced by Larry Brown.

Meschery has been inducted into the San Francisco High School Hall of Fame; Saint Mary's College Hall of Fame (his college jersey #31 retired); and the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame.

Post-basketball life
Meschery published his first book of poems in 1970, and returned to school after his coaching stint, receiving his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa in 1974. He studied poetry with Mark Strand, U.S. poet laureate, at the University of Washington. After receiving his teaching credentials at the University of Nevada, Reno, Meschery taught high school English at Earl Wooster High School and Reno High School in Reno, Nevada, until his retirement from teaching in 2005. He is also a poet, whose works often relate to basketball, teaching, and being a Russian immigrant. In 2002, Meschery was inducted into the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame.

Meschery is now living in Sacramento, California with his current wife, artist Melanie Marchant Meschery. He was previously married to notable author Joanne Meschery, with whom he has three children: Janai, Megan, and Matthew. Matthew Meschery is the former lead vocalist of OPM. Tom Meschery continues to write poems, fiction, and essays. He traces his love of writing to his Russian maternal ancestors, Alexei and Leo Tolstoy. Embarking on a new career as a novelist, Meschery has completed three novels in manuscript: Mr. Dolby's Dream, She's Got Game, and The Kid Has Hops and a young adult novel, also in manuscript, entitled The Society for the Prevention of Bullying. He has two published collections of poetry: Nothing We Lose Can Be Replaced and Some Men and Sweat: New and Selected Poems About Sports. Meschery and his wife Melanie are presently collaborating on a book of poems and art about saints.

His blog 'Meschery's Musings' discusses a variety of controversial subjects relating to sports. Each blog ends with a sports poem. Meschery says he wishes to introduce the public to fine contemporary poems whose subject is sports in the same way Garrison Keillor makes poetry in general available to his listeners on his morning radio broadcasts.

Mix was nicknamed "Sky" by Erving; according to Mix, "Julius and [Mix] would talk hoops, [they] would talk life [and] family. Every night [Erving] would have a candy bar before he would go to bed. He used to say, 'I'm calling you [Mix] Sky because you can't.'"

On his number 50 jersey being retired by the University of Toledo in 2007, Mix said "I was totally shocked and amazed when this was proposed to me. I know it's never been done before. It's a great honor."

Mix said: "I heard somebody say sometime, when you retire and you do nothing, how do you know when you are done? I need that place where I can hang my hat. I just need a place where I can do something." Mix received some recognition from fans who know him from his basketball days, including Mets Special Assistant to the General Manager J. P. Ricciardi. Mix said that a few people recognize him each day: "I have a couple people bring cards up ... probably a couple times a day somebody will say something."

Talk:Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive

System 1
I thought intermodal tickets were administered by system 1 travel. Are they part of GMPTE or something? Plugwash 01:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Moving
Dunno if it's worth mentioning, but the GMPTE offices which are currently near Piccadilly Gardens, next to the Thistle Hotel (I forget the street name), well they're moving to the building currently being erected directly outside Manchester Piccadilly's main entrance (not Fairfield Street), they're expected to start moving around October 2006.

 * It's 9 Portland Street, and more likely to be November/December but not into Christmas! ...from a GMPTE worker. Oh also, System 1 are issued by GMPTE.

 * Nope, it's 2 Piccadilly Place and the move was this month. My bf works for GMPTE. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TR Wolf (talk • contribs) 17:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

Glossop district
Could the article require clarification of Glossop's role within GMPTE? I know too little to add details myself, but, is Glossop, Hadfield et al still not part of GMPTE's remit in the provision of rail services at least? Indeed, it is mentioned as being part of SELNEC but after 1974 it remained within Derbyshire with, I would assume, public transport co-ordination passing to Derby County Council. Richard ( T 21:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

TfGME Requested move discussion
Transferring over the discussion on the move of Transport for Greater Manchester Executive as it has relevance to the future of this article and that page will soon be deleted.

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved per request and discussion below. - GTBacchus(talk) 06:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC) page restored. I mistakenly moved the page when the discussion below had resulted in a determination not to move it. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:03, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Transport for Greater Manchester Executive → Transport for Greater Manchester — The page was moved to an expanded form of the acronym of the original but this was incorrect in the first place as it is only part of the organisation and not its common name. --ChiZeroOne (talk) 01:44, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It was kinda assumed by editors that when the name change occured the GMPTE page would be renamed and serve as the base of the article and a redirect put in place to catch links to its former name. WatcherZero (talk) 17:23, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, so what you are saying is that this page was created in error? Now I understand the TfGM redirect.  The main problem with that though is squeezing the GMPTE page into a "history" section of a TfGM article without losing info, could be done though. So instead of the move should the information on this page be transferred to GMPTE and this page deleted (not likely to be re-used)? ChiZeroOne (talk) 18:19, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I would agree to that, if there is any unique information here it should be transferred as well, for example the map is useful. WatcherZero (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Was I who made the page. Huge apologies if it was in error, jumped the gun soemwhat. But happy for any move needed etc. :-) Sorry! Mapmark (talk) 21:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, it's not like there was an obvious discussion anywhere stating this was the plan. Error was maybe a bit strong, there are "accepted practices" but no one is expected to know them before editing.  Pretty much anything on here can be changed/moved etc if need be, as long it is a useful addition it will probably be kept in some form.

 * Anyway, I'll leave this discussion open a little longer to see if there are any objections and then see about moving over the info to the GMPTE page. ChiZeroOne (talk) 00:35, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Infobox
Saving infobox here until it is ready to be used. Format seems more appropriate than the current one.

Problem
The line,

Although it will differ in certain structural forms, on the day of its inauguration TfGM will become the second most powerful and influential transport organisation in England after Transport for London because it will unite previously splintered governance over transport policy in the boroughs under one body.

Doesn't quite make sense because it is the GMCA that will unite transport governance, not TfGM.

The plans to create the GMCA mean that it will become the local transport authority (as it will legally be a local authority) which will then delegate those functions to the TfGMC, a joint-board between the GMCA and the boroughs. TfGM will be the GMCA's (via the TfGMC proxy) executive arm. ChiZeroOne (talk) 06:44, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * This is the same as London, Transport for London is the excecutive agency of the Greater London Authority (GLA). --WatcherZero 14:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Indeed that's true. I'm just not sure how to change the above sentence so it accurately conveys what's happening.  TfGM will have more responsibilities than any other transport body after TfL, but it is the GMCA with the powers/influence and the one "uniting previously splintered governance". ChiZeroOne (talk) 00:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * TfGM through the creation of the GMCA becomes the.....? WatcherZero (talk) 00:51, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

TfGM/GMPTE
Why does this need to be it’s own article? TfGM is simply a rebrand of GMPTE, they are the same organisation and legal entity. This isn’t the same story as what has occurred in London or with Transport for West Midlands and West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive? I would suggest that Transport for Greater Manchester should be expanded with GMPTE history - as they are essentially the same entity it doesn’t warrant its own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammich28 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Jim Paxson

James Joseph Paxson Jr. (born July 9, 1957) is an American former professional basketball player. A 1st round selection (12nd pick overall) of the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1979 NBA draft, Paxson played for Portland and the Boston Celtics of the NBA from 1979–1990 and was twice an All-Star. Paxson served as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers for six years and now works as a consultant with the Chicago Bulls where his brother John Paxson is an executive.

Pre-NBA
Paxson, a guard-forward born in Kettering, Ohio and the son of former NBA player Jim Paxson Sr., played college basketball at the University of Dayton. When the older Paxson tried out for the Dayton Flyers, he couldn't afford to buy athletic shoes, so athletic director Thomas Frericks loaned him a pair. Paxson was a three-time team MVP and earned All-America honors as a senior after averaging more than 23 points per game. He also averaged 17 points as a junior and 18 points as a sophomore at Dayton.

Career
The 6-foot-6 Paxson was an NBA All-Star in 1983 and 1984. He also earned All-NBA Second Team honors in 1984 after averaging 21 points per game. He spent nine seasons with Portland (1979–1988) and, after being traded to Boston in February 1988, spent two full seasons with Boston (1988–1990). When he was traded from Portland, he left as the team's all-time leading scorer.

Post-playing career
After retiring in 1990 at the age of 32, Paxson joined Portland's front office as assistant general manager. In September 1998, he was named vice president of basketball operations for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was promoted to general manager in 1999, serving in that position until he was fired in April 2005. The Cavaliers won 185 games and lost 307 games in the six years Paxson was general manager.

In July 2006, Paxson, the older brother of former Chicago Bulls guard and former Chicago Bulls Executive Vice President of basketball operations John Paxson, was hired as a consultant for the Bulls. Paxson was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2004, he was named to the University of Dayton's All-Century Team.

Andy Phillip

Andrew Michael "Handy Andy" Phillip (March 7, 1922 – April 29, 2001) was an American professional basketball player. Born in Granite City, Illinois, Phillip had an 11-year career and played for the Chicago Stags of the Basketball Association of America and the Philadelphia Warriors, Fort Wayne Pistons and Boston Celtics, of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

High school/College
Phillip led his high school in Granite City, Illinois, to the IHSA state championship in 1940 by defeating Herrin High School with a final score of 24–22 at Huff Gym on the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign campus. It would be that same gymnasium where he earned renown for his talents and for the Fighting Illini's success during war-interrupted, non-consecutive seasons in 1941–1943 and 1946–1947. Phillip was the untitled leader of "The Whiz Kids", a team that included Ken Menke, Gene Vance, Jack Smiley and team captain Art Mathisen. Arguably the most talented basketball team in the nation, Phillip and his teammates would elect not to participate in either the NCAA or NIT tournament based on the army's draft of Mathisen, Menke and Smiley. The team was retroactively named the national champion by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll. Four of the five, minus Mathisen, returned to Illinois and tried to recapture the glory for one more season in 1946–47 after the war ended, but the chemistry had changed as well as their talent. Illinois went 14–6.

While attending Illinois, Phillip was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Phillip served as a first lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps in World War II at Iwo Jima.

Professional basketball
Phillip played in the first five NBA All-Star Games, and was twice named to the All-NBA Second Team. He was the first player to record 500 assists in a season, the first to reach the 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 career assists milestones, and led the NBA in assists during the 1950–51 and 1951–52 seasons. Phillip reached the postseason every year he was in the league, and his teams made it to the NBA Finals during his final four seasons — twice with Fort Wayne and twice with Boston. The 1957 Boston team won the NBA Championship.

Phillip was alleged by one of his Fort Wayne Pistons teammates, George Yardley, to have conspired with gamblers to throw the 1955 NBA Finals to the Syracuse Nationals. In the decisive seventh game, Phillip turned the ball over with three seconds remaining in the game, enabling Syracuse to win by one point, 92–91.

After retiring from playing basketball, he coached the St. Louis Hawks for 10 games in 1958, posting a 6–4 record before he was fired. Phillip later coached the Chicago Majors of the American Basketball League.

Phillip was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1961. He was elected to the Illini Men's Basketball All-Century Team in 2004. In 2007, Phillip was voted one of the "100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament", recognizing his superior performance in his appearance in the tournament.

Phillip died at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, on April 29, 2001, aged 79.

Sports writer Dan Manoyan wrote a book about Phillip and his Granite City High School basketball teammates, titled Men of Granite, in 2007. A film based on the book, directed by Dwayne Johnson-Cochran, began production in 2015.

Large cent

The United States large cent was a coin with a face value of 1/100 of a United States dollar. Its nominal diameter was 1$1⁄8$ inch (28.57 mm). The first official mintage of the large cent was in 1793, and its production continued until 1857, when it was officially replaced by the modern-size one-cent coin (commonly called the penny).

Large cents were made of nearly pure copper, or copper as pure as it emerged from smelting, without any deliberate addition of other metals (such as occurs in bronze).

General history
First struck in 1793, the large cent was minted every year from 1793 to 1857, except 1815. When the United States declared war in 1812 against Great Britain, coinage was affected. The wartime embargo against shipments made it so the mint could not get any new copper planchets, which were imported from Great Britain, to strike coins. The mint made do with what supply it had and struck coins into 1815. After the war ended in 1815, the mint wasted no time in ordering new planchets. For an unknown reason, no coins were dated 1815 from the supply the mint had in the interim. There may have not been a significant supply of planchets left, and when new ones were received, it may have been easier to use the old design and date. In addition to the copper shortage, people also hoarded precious metals during the war.  Altered and fantasy cents with the 1815 date occasionally appear.

The Philadelphia Mint produced all large cents, which contained twice the copper of the half cent. This made the coins bulky and heavy, bigger than modern-day U.S. quarters.

Flowing Hair cents, chain reverse (1793)

The obverse featured a bust of Liberty with a reverse of a ring of chains. Henry Voigt's design was almost universally criticized in its time for its unattractiveness and perceived allusion to slavery. It bears the distinction, however, of being the first official coinage minted by the United States federal government on its own equipment and premises; 36,103 were minted. Its low survival rate, in addition to its small mintage, coupled with being the first regular federal issue and a one-year design and type, has created an extremely strong demand from generations of numismatists. As a result, all surviving specimens command high prices ranging from $2,000–3,000 in the absolute lowest state of preservation to over $500,000 in the highest.

Flowing Hair cents, wreath reverse (1793)

The Mint caved in to the intense ridicule later in 1793, and Mint Director David Rittenhouse ordered Adam Eckfeldt to revise the obverse and reverse designs. Liberty's bust was redesigned with even longer, wilder hair, and the chain was removed from the reverse in favor of a wreath. Scholars are undecided as to what plant or plants are depicted in the wreath, with several varieties extant. Total mintage of the wreath reverse numbered about 63,000 pieces.

Liberty Cap cents (1793–1796)

Rittenhouse was dissatisfied with Eckfeldt's designs, and with the criticism of the Chain cents fresh in his mind, he hired Joseph Wright to do yet another redesign in the denomination's troubled first year. Wright's design faced Liberty to the right and "tamed" her wild hair. The Phrygian cap was added as an ancient symbol of freedom. The reverse design was revised to a recognizable laurel wreath, and future Chief Engraver Robert Scot had a hand in several minor revisions to the design over the next three years.

This design was more successful, and it was continued into 1796. In 1795, planchets became too thin for the edge lettering because of a weight reduction, so the mint stopped edge lettering on the cent, and the rest of these coins were made with a plain edge. Four coins from 1795 are known to have a reeded edge.

Draped Bust cents (1796–1807)
Robert Scot redesigned the whole of United States coinage for 1796, applying a new design featuring a bust of Liberty wearing a drapery at the neckline and a ribbon in her flowing hair. The reverse design now featured an olive wreath. As with earlier types, several minor revisions to the design were made in the first few years, with the final 1797 design lasting through the end of the type in 1807.

Around 1860, an altered 1803 obverse die (re-engraved "1804") and an 1820 reverse die were used to create several unofficial "restrikes" of the rare 1804 cent. While not genuine 1804 cents, they are sometimes collected along with the originals and are listed in various numismatic magazines and A Guide Book of United States Coins.

Classic Head cents (1808–1814)
John Reich, assistant to Chief Engraver Scot, was appointed by new Mint Director Robert Patterson to redesign Scot's Draped Bust cent (along with every other circulating coin design). The so-called "Classic Head" derives its name from the fillet worn by Liberty on the obverse, though the fillet was worn only by male athletes in ancient Greece. The copper used during the years in which Classic Head cents were minted was of a higher quality, containing less metallic impurity. Consequently, they were softer and more prone to wear and corrode more quickly than issues before or after. As a result, unimpaired, high-grade specimens are especially difficult to obtain and fetch strong premiums when they appear on market, especially with original red or red-brown mint luster.

Matron Head, or Middle Dates (1815–1839)
As a response to public criticism of the Classic Head, the Mint assigned Chief Engraver Scot to redesign the cent in April 1815, after the War of 1812. Only 2 Matron Head large cents were produced in 1815 on planchets left over from 1814. This newest design enlarged the obverse portrait, giving Liberty a much more mature look (leading to the Matron Head reference), and surrounded the portrait with stars along the outer edge of the coin. The "Matron head" design was modified in 1835 to give Liberty a younger look, and matron head cents continued to be made until 1839.

Similar to the 1804 restrike cent, around the 1860s-1870s, several "restrikes" were made by a third party not affiliated with the Mint. While not genuine 1823 cents, they are nevertheless sometimes collected alongside their genuine counterparts. The restrike cannot be confused with the original, as it was minted with an 1813 reverse.

Braided Hair, or Late Dates (1839–1857; 1868)
Facing more negative public reaction, the Coronet cents were redesigned in 1835 by new Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. This last major change to the coin updated the obverse by giving Liberty a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Minor tweaks continued through 1843, and the 1843 design prevailed through the end of mintage in 1857.

Some 11 years after the large cent was discontinued, a mint employee coined several large cents dated 1868, almost certainly for sale as instant rarities to numismatists. About a dozen and a half of these unofficial issues, struck in both copper and nickel, are known to survive.

Collecting
With the plethora of varieties, errors, and die states for these early coins, they are a popular collecting endeavor today. In 1966, Herbert A. Silberman placed an ad in Coin World gauging interest in a specialized club devoted to the collecting and researching of large cents and half cents, Early American Coppers. The group holds an annual convention, publishes a quarterly newsletter, Penny-Wise, and conducts meetings and seminars at most major coin conventions.

David Wingate (basketball)

David Grover Stacey Wingate, Jr. (born December 15, 1963) is an American former professional basketball player. The shooting guard-small forward spent 15 years in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with six teams.

High school and college career
Wingate played high school basketball for the Dunbar Poets of Dunbar High School, where he played alongside fellow NBA players Muggsy Bogues, Reggie Lewis, and Reggie Williams. The 1981–82 Poets finished the season at 29–0, and the following year, after Wingate's graduation, finished 31–0 and were ranked first in the nation by USA Today. At the end of his senior season, it was expected Wingate would attend the University of Maryland, but instead he decided to attend Georgetown University.

As a freshman for the Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team during the 1982–83 season, Wingate was named to the Big East Conference all-rookie team. The following season, he made the transition from a guard-forward hybrid to playing primarily at the shooting guard position, as the small forward position was filled be incoming freshman and fellow Dunbar alum Reggie Williams. During his sophomore year, Wingate led the team in steals and scored about 11 points per game, en route to Georgetown winning the 1984 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. Wingate's junior season saw Georgetown miss repeating as national champions, losing to Villanova University in the final of the 1985 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. It also was one of Wingate's best defensive seasons, earning career-high totals in assists and steals, and leading the team with 16 points in their championship match-up against Villanova. He averaged 16 points a game in his senior year, trailing only Williams, and played 1,000 minutes without fouling out. Upon graduation, Wingate was the Hoyas' third all-time leading scorer behind Eric Floyd and Patrick Ewing.

Professional career
Wingate had a 15-year NBA career spanning from 1986 to 2001. He was selected in the second round with the 44th pick of the 1986 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. His selection in the second round surprised some, with 76ers coach Matt Guokas saying, "In a lot of people's eyes, he was a first-round pick" and that he was "one of the people we would have considered" had they not traded their first-round pick. After fighting for a spot on the 76ers roster, Wingate made his debut on November 2, 1986. He played nine minutes in his debut against the Atlanta Hawks, and made his first start against the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 10, 1987, scoring 22 points in 46 minutes. He finished the season having played in 77 games, averaging two assists and 8.8 points per game.

He played for the San Antonio Spurs, Washington Bullets, Charlotte Hornets, Seattle SuperSonics and New York Knicks. Wingate retired with the Sonics in 2001, after having played a total of 28 games in his final three NBA seasons.

Personal life
Wingate has five children: Cynthia Alixandra, Brandi Allstin, Davion, Ashley and Aminah

Antonio Giannoni

Antonio Giannoni (29 March 1814 – 6 September 1883) was the first Italian to settle in South Australia. He arrived in Port Adelaide on 19 September 1839.

Early life
Giannoni was born on 29 March 1814 in Rimini, Italy, the son of Petro and Maria (née Gambuti). He did not receive any formal education in Rimini, but received much experience in seamanship. Giannoni left Rimini in around 1838, after narrowly evading arrest for being a member of the Young Italy movement. He fled to England and is recorded as a crewman on the English ships Mount Edgecombe and Sabina in 1838 and 1839 respectively.

Career
On 3 May 1839, he boarded the London-based Recovery which arrived in South Australia on 19 September 1839. He was hired to work at the Survey Department by Surveyor General Lieutenant Edward Charles Frome, whom Giannoni had become acquainted with while on the Recovery. In early 1841, Giannoni left Adelaide after the Survey Department retrenched him and found employment as an oarsmen for a whale fishery at Encounter Bay. He worked as a whaler for some seven years, returning to Adelaide in 1848, where he started a modestly successful land-owning enterprise. Like many other immigrants, he left for the goldfields near Mount Alexander and Castlemaine during the 1851 gold rush. Giannoni became a cab driver some time in 1861 and then a bus driver in 1873; he returned to the cab industry in 1878, following the introduction of trams in South Australia.

Personal life and death
On 13 November 1848, Giannoni married domestic worker Matilda (née Deputron), who died of tuberculosis on 5 February 1854. After the death of his first wife, Giannoni remarried on 16 August 1954, but his second wife Ann (née Tickner) died in childbirth on 27 May 1855. Two months later, on 27 July, he married Tickner's friend, Mary (née Clapton), who had emigrated to England with her. Giannoni and Clapton had five children: Antonio (1856–1942); Samuel (1859–1941); Mary (1861–1916); Peter (1863–1947); and a fifth child, also named Samuel, who died three days after his birth in 1857. His son Peter was later elected to a two-year term as mayor of Kensington.

Giannoni died on 6 September 1883 in Kensington, Adelaide. The cause of death was listed as "old age and disease of the bladder". He was buried at the West Terrace cemetery.

Giannoni, who had only learnt how to properly sign documents in his 40s, spelled his surname inconsistently, including as "Gianoni", "Gannone", and "Gannoni", the last of which was adopted in both Giannoni's final will and by his descendants who nonetheless continued to pronounce it as "Giannoni".

Legacy
A bust of Giannoni in Osmand Terrace, Norwood was unveiled on 4 November 1993. A portrait of him, photographed in 1872, still exists too.
