Ryan Freel

Ryan Paul Freel (March 8, 1976 – December 22, 2012) was an American professional baseball player. A utility player, Freel played second base, third base, and all three outfield positions in Major League Baseball for the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays between 2001 and 2009.

On December 22, 2012, Freel committed suicide, and was subsequently the first MLB player to be diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Career
Freel attended Tallahassee Community College and was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 13th round of the 1994 amateur entry draft, but did not sign. A year later, he was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 10th round of the 1995 amateur draft. From 1998 to 2002, Freel played in the Venezuelan Baseball League with Cardenales de Lara, becoming Champions in 2001. Freel played 6 seasons in the Toronto minor league system before making his Major League debut on April 4, 2001. He only played in 9 games for the Blue Jays in his rookie year, hitting .273 with 0 home runs, 3 RBI and 2 stolen bases. After the season was over, Freel was granted free agency and signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Freel played the entire 2002 season in the minor leagues with the Durham Bulls, the Triple-A affiliate of the Devil Rays. He hit .261 with 8 home runs, 48 RBI, and 37 steals. On November 18, 2002, he signed with the Cincinnati Reds as a free agent.

On July 27, 2005, Freel stole five bases in one game, becoming the first MLB player to do so since the 2000 season.

In five seasons with the Reds, Freel hit .270 with 22 home runs, 104 runs batted in, and 134 stolen bases. His best season for the Reds was in 2004, when he hit .277 with 3 home runs, 28 RBI, 37 stolen bases, and 74 runs scored in 143 games. In 2007, Freel signed a two-year, $3 million contract extension with the Reds.

On December 9, 2008, Freel was traded along with two minor leaguers including Justin Turner to the Baltimore Orioles for catcher Ramón Hernández. On May 8, 2009, Freel was traded once again, this time to the Chicago Cubs for outfielder Joey Gathright and cash considerations. On July 2, 2009, Freel was designated for assignment to create roster space for the newly acquired Jeff Baker. On July 6, 2009, Freel was dealt accompanied by cash considerations to the Kansas City Royals for a player to be named later.

On August 5, 2009, Freel was designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals. He was released on August 13, 2009. On August 28, 2009, Freel signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers. He was released 2 days later. In April 2010, Freel signed with the independent Somerset Patriots, but retired five weeks later on May 17, 2010.

Personal life
Freel was very spiritual and religious. He believed all his fans deserved respect and would sign all cards and mementos presented to him.

During his stay with the Reds, he was instrumental in helping develop their famous Reds Rookie Success League. He served as the Players Ambassador to that Rookie League for the Reds. The Reds recognized Ryan in July 2013 by annually awarding the "Ryan Freel Heart and Hustle Award" to a member of each league.

Post retirement, Freel founded Big League Development Baseball Inc (BLD) and went on to coach the 11U team to Cooperstown. All teams under his management 9U to 11U had winning seasons.

Injuries
On May 28, 2007, Freel was injured in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates when chasing a deep drive to right-center field. Freel and right fielder Norris Hopper collided, resulting in Freel's head and neck hitting Hopper and finally the warning track. He was transported by ambulance to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was reported to be coherent with feeling in his extremities. Freel began working out on June 15, about 2 weeks after the collision. He was briefly sent to the AAA Louisville Bats for rehabilitation. Freel began getting random headaches and pains in his head, which delayed his return for another 2 weeks. On July 3, 2007, 1 month and 5 days after the accident, Freel returned to play for the Cincinnati Reds and was healthy until being placed on the 15-day DL with torn cartilage in his right knee on August 7.

In 2009 with the Baltimore Orioles, he was hit in the head by a pickoff throw while on second base. He was put on the disabled list after the injury, and officially retired a year later.

Off-the-field issues
Freel was twice arrested, once for driving under the influence and the other for disorderly intoxication. He paid a fine after the first incident, and charges were dropped for the second.

Farney
Freel gained some notoriety in August 2006 when The Dayton Daily News reported that Freel talked to an imaginary voice in his head named Farney. Said Freel: "He's a little guy who lives in my head who talks to me and I talk to him. That little midget in my head said, 'That was a great catch, Ryan,' I said, 'Hey, Farney, I don't know if that was you who really caught that ball, but that was pretty good if it was.' Everybody thinks I talk to myself, so I tell 'em I'm talking to Farney." Freel later said that Farney's name arose from a conversation with Reds trainer Mark Mann: "He actually made a comment like, 'How are the voices in your head?' We'd play around and finally this year he said, 'What's the guy's name?' I said, 'Let's call him Farney.' So now everybody's like, 'Run, Farney, run' or 'Let Farney hit today. You're not hitting very well.'"

Death
On December 22, 2012, Freel died at his home in Jacksonville, Florida, as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. After his death, Freel's family donated his brain to Boston University for research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative neurological condition associated with repeated head impacts that can only be conclusively diagnosed post-mortem. In December 2013, a post-mortem examination by the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy showed that he had had Stage II CTE, making him the first MLB player to have been diagnosed with such a condition. Freel was also diagnosed with various mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, depression, impulse control disorder, and anxiety. Additional mental illnesses are consistent with many athletes who also had CTE once their playing careers are finished.

Bavarian Circle

The Bavarian Circle (Bayerischer Reichskreis) was an Imperial Circle of the Holy Roman Empire.

The most significant state by far in the circle was the Duchy of Bavaria (raised to an Electorate by Emperor Ferdinand II in 1623) with the Upper Palatinate territories. Other Imperial Estates like the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg, the Prince-Bishoprics of Freising, Passau and Regensburg as well as the Imperial city of Regensburg, seat of the Imperial Diet from 1663, had a secondary importance. The elector of Bavaria and the archbishop of Salzburg acted as the circle's directors.

Composition
The circle was made up of the following states:

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello Notichicas, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles as you did in KITV. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 18:44, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on WVEC. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Talk:Skyline Drive

Untitled
I have changed the redirect to the Shenandoah National Park (in which the Skyline Drive is located) to a separate new article about the road. This is consistent with the way the Colonial Parkway and Colonial National Historical Park articles are structured, and allows for the Skyline Drive to be included in various road categories (ie National Scenic Byways, All-American Roads).

I will be working on articles for the red links for two of the gaps in the Blue Ridge Mountains and for Big Meadows, unless someone else does so first.

 * Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 04:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I just moved a lot of the info found in this article to the article on Shenandoah National Park, where I shifted it around. It makes sense to me that being two separate articles, the article on Shenandoah National Park should be about the park and all its grounds, and the article on Skyline Drive should be strictly about the road called Skyline Drive. I made it easy to shift between the two articles.

Jewish gauchos

Jewish gauchos (gauchos judíos, gauchos djudíos) were Jewish immigrants who settled in fertile regions of Argentina in agricultural colonies established by the Jewish Colonization Association. The association was established by Baron Maurice de Hirsch, a Jewish-French industrialist who amassed a fortune building railroads in Russia. After the death of his son, Hirsch resolved to help Russia's Jews and bought more than 80,000 hectares (198,000 acres) of land in Argentina. Among these colonies are Colonia Lapin and Rivera in the Province of Buenos Aires and Basavilbaso in Entre Ríos. Most of these immigrants were from Podolia and Bessarabia, in Imperial Russia.

The first eight families arrived in Argentina in October 1888. In August 1889, 824 Jewish immigrants arrived from Russia on the steamer "Weser", and settled in the Moïseville colony (today the town of Moisés Ville) in the province of Santa Fe.

After considerable conflict with native gauchos, the Jewish immigrants came to be reluctantly accepted by them. The colonists also began to pool their resources to buy seeds, and in Basavilbaso in 1900 they founded the Sociedad Agricola Israelita, the first cooperative in Latin America. Today, however, there is little to see of the town's once-thriving Jewish community. The Jewish Center is now a "social club," open to Jews and Gentiles alike. Writing in South American Explorer magazine in 1978, author David Schneider states:

"In less than 80 years, thousands of Jews crossed an ocean, settled on the Argentine pampa, reared children, prospered, and moved on, leaving behind weathered and empty synagogues, boarded-up schools, closed libraries."

The Jewish Gauchos have been the subject of several books and films. The Jewish Gauchos of the Pampas, by Alberto Gerchunoff, is a series of vignettes about shtetl life in Argentina first published in 1910 and now available in English. The book was turned into a musical comedy in 1975 titled Jewish Gauchos (Los gauchos judíos in Spanish). The film was directed by Juan José Jusid and starred José Soriano, Gina Maria Hidalgo, and Víctor Laplace. A 2004 documentary, Legacy, took nearly 10 years to complete and involved interviews with many aging "Jewish gauchos."

Radiópolis

Radiópolis (incorporated as Sistemas Radiópolis, S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexican radio broadcast company that owns AM and FM radio stations in Mexico and syndicates music and talk formats. It is the former radio division of Televisa, which spun its stake off to Corporativo Coral, S.A. de C.V., in 2020 to focus on its core television and telecommunications businesses. Since 2001, Radiópolis has been a joint venture with Spanish media conglomerate Grupo PRISA.

History
Radiópolis got its start with the establishment of each of the Mexico City stations in the 1930s and 1940s. XEW-AM, founded by Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta, came on air September 18, 1930 and immediately became the country's most important broadcaster. XEQ-AM was established eight years later, and in 1947, XEX-AM joined the stable. Several repeaters of XEW were built in the late 1940s and early 1950s, including XEWK-AM in Guadalajara, two XEWA-AM stations in Monterrey and San Luis Potosí, and XEWB-AM in Veracruz. In 1975, Grupo Radiópolis was officially formed, including XEW, XEQ and XEX as well as their FM counterparts.

1992 saw the acquisition of the former Radio Comerciales de Jalisco stations in Guadalajara owned by Francisco Javier Díaz Romo, including XEBA-AM-FM, XEHL-AM-FM, XELT-AM and XEZZ-AM. These were the first Radiópolis stations outside of Mexico City, excluding the repeaters which no longer rebroadcast XEW. The group also expanded into Mexicali with XHMOE-FM.

The 1990s saw several notable leaders head up Radiópolis. The first, journalist Ricardo Rocha, had been tapped in 1995 to revive the radio station division but was seen to be using Radiópolis as a "trampoline" into the television industry. After he left for Grupo ACIR in 1998, Eugenio Bernal took his place. Bernal renamed Radiópolis to Televisa Radio and reorganized XEW-AM and XEQ-AM into two similar "networks", the Cadena Azul y Plata (with a more traditional format) and Cadena Verde y Oro (focusing on a male audience).

In May 2000, Televisa attempted to buy Grupo Radio Centro, a major competitor in the Mexico City radio market and the country's leading radio broadcaster. The two announced an agreement in principle for a merger. The Federal Competition Commission recommended that Televisa sell some stations, and ultimately, three months after the announcement, talks ended, in a surprise to markets. Analysts suggested regulatory hurdles, dissent within the Aguirre family which owned Radio Centro, and a dispute over GRC's valuation as reasons for the sale falling apart. Another roadblock was that newscaster José Gutiérrez Vivó, who hosted the Monitor newscasts on Radio Red, refused to work with Televisa.

With its bid to buy GRC frustrated, Televisa next targeted another of its main rivals, Grupo ACIR, which at the time was Mexico's largest owner and operator of radio stations. In September 2000, Televisa announced it had spent $101 million to purchase 27.82 percent of the company and combine its operations with Radiópolis to form Grupo ACIR-Radiópolis, which would have controlled 116 stations serving 95 percent of the country. Three months later, however, the Federal Competition Commission unanimously denied the bid, saying that the combination of ACIR-Radiópolis with the nation's dominant television broadcaster would have given Televisa an unfair advantage in securing advertisers. The antitrust authority cited that ACIR-Radiópolis would have controlled 174 stations—12.44 percent of the national total.

With both of its bids to acquire another broadcaster thwarted, Televisa turned to Grupo PRISA of Spain. In October 2001, PRISA bought half of Sistema Radiópolis, a $50 million investment for the company. PRISA put its expertise in radio, as owner of the successful Cadena SER, to work. In 2002, XEW was relaunched as "W Radio" and XEX-FM flipped from a pop format known as Vox FM to PRISA's Los 40 Principales format, which entered Mexico for the first time. Televisa Radio, in turn, signed a deal with Radiorama in order to syndicate the W Radio and Los 40 Principales formats along with its own Ke Buena grupera concept across the country. Other local and regional broadcasters, including Radio Núcleo of Chiapas and Grupo Chávez Radio in Sinaloa, carry Ke Buena and Los 40 formats on some of their stations.

In 2007, Televisa considered cutting ties with PRISA due to stagnant sales revenue.

Televisa Radio added two stations and sold two in 2017 and 2018. The IFT-4 radio auction saw Televisa victorious in Puerto Vallarta, where it launched XHPTOJ-FM in May 2019, and Ensenada, where it holds the concession for XHPSEN-FM 96.9. However, Televisa also sold two stations, XEBA-AM and XEHL-AM, to TV Zac, S.A. de C.V.

On July 17, 2019, Televisa announced the sale of its 50 percent share in Sistemas Radiópolis, S.A. de C.V., to companies controlled by Miguel Alemán Magnani, owner of the Interjet airline. Televisa had previously announced its plans to sell its stake, citing a desire to divest non-core business assets and focus on its television and telecommunications businesses. The Federal Telecommunications Institute approved the sale in August. However, the deal collapsed on September 30, 2019, due to an inability to secure credit. After a court ordered Coral to pay Televisa, the deal was renewed, and the acquisition was completed on July 2, 2020.

Formats
Radiópolis primarily syndicates the Ke Buena grupera format and Los 40, PRISA's pop format, which was introduced in Mexico when PRISA bought half of Televisa Radio. In 2015, including its 17 owned-and-operated stations, it had 98 affiliates reaching 28 of Mexico's 32 states. It also syndicates W Radio, a talk format still featured on XEW-AM/FM, to a smaller stable of stations. The remaining AM stations generally carry other formats, ranging from sports to Catholic radio.

Army of Anyone

Army of Anyone was an American rock supergroup formed by Filter frontman Richard Patrick with two members of rock band Stone Temple Pilots. In addition to Patrick on vocals, the band featured brothers Dean DeLeo and Robert DeLeo (on guitar and bass respectively), and Ray Luzier, formerly of David Lee Roth's band (later Korn), on drums. The band released one self-titled album in November 2006, which was well-received, but sold well short of the members' multi-platinum selling releases of their other bands, even despite the success of their first single, "Goodbye", which peaked at number three on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart. After releasing a second charting single, "Father Figure", and touring in support of the album, the band went into hiatus in mid-2007, with members returning to their respective bands, except Luzier, who joined Korn. Despite being relatively inactive since 2007, all members have stayed in contact, and have independently shown interest in working on a second album if the logistics and scheduling of their commitments to other bands ever aligned.

Formation (2002–2004)
The band's formation traces back to Richard Patrick and the DeLeo brothers taking breaks from their respective bands, Filter and Stone Temple Pilots. Shortly after releasing Filter's third album, The Amalgamut, Patrick checked himself into rehab in October 2002, ceasing all band activity and touring for the time being. Around the same time, in late 2002, Stone Temple Pilots broke up due to increasing problems with lead singer Scott Weiland and his issues with substance abuse.

Once out of rehab, Patrick began writing new material for a fourth Filter album. Upon Patrick hearing that Dean and Robert DeLeo had wanted to work with him on a song for the album, he invited them over to do so. The result of their meeting was a track called "A Better Place", and a twelve-hour jam session. Patrick felt so strongly about the music that he put the fourth Filter album on hold, despite his record label urging him to continue, in order to start a new band with the DeLeo brothers. Ray Luzier was called to audition after the DeLeo brothers were impressed with Ray's sound check at a show. Luzier joined the band later after a successful auditioning. The band's name "Army of Anyone", was chosen as an allusion to the members' past troubles with bands, with Patrick explaining "We are all in the fight of life together, united in an army of anyone".

Debut album (2005–2007)
Formal recording for the band's debut album commenced in 2005. They entered the studio with Bob Ezrin, the producer behind Pink Floyd's epic rock opera The Wall. The band had recorded more than 30 songs in Patrick's home studio, 11 of which would make their way on to their debut album.

The album was originally slated for an early 2006 release through Columbia Records. However, most of the personnel who backed them at the label were fired during the process of recording the album, making them opt to change their label. Instead, the band signed to The Firm Music, a division of the band's management company The Firm, Inc., in an effort to avoid typical record labels and go straight to distributors. Beyond the label switching, Patrick commented further delay was caused by personal commitments, such as members' families getting married and having children. During this time, they also opted to replace the album's original mix with ones done by sound engineer Ken Andrews. They were able to fit this into their schedules because they used Andrew's Pro Tools set-up at his house, rather than renting time at a high-budget studio.

The album, simply titled Army of Anyone, was finally released on November 14, 2006. The band's first single was the track "Goodbye", which gathered significant radio airplay, peaking at number 3 place in the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. However, the second and final single, "Father Figure", failed to match that success, only peaking at number 31 in the same chart. The band started touring in support of the album on November 18, including performances of "Goodbye" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Last Call with Carson Daly. In addition to playing songs from the album, they also included covers of the Stone Temple Pilots songs "Big Bang Baby", "Vasoline", and "Interstate Love Song", as well as "Hey Man, Nice Shot", "Take a Picture", and "Welcome to the Fold" by Filter. Additionally, an interlude version of "The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin was played on occasion. The band would also go on to headline the SnoCore Tour in 2007 with the band Hurt, and later toured with Three Days Grace.

The band had alluded to releases beyond their first release and touring cycle. A DVD release, containing studio footage of the group recording their debut album, was planned, but ultimately never released, in 2007. Patrick, shortly before the first album, anticipated that a second album would not be too far off. Dean DeLeo would also say that he wanted listeners to wait and judge the band's songs once the band had released their fifth record.

Hiatus and future (2007–present)
The album was not nearly as successful as their past individual projects, with the album only debuting and peaking at No. 56 on the Billboard 200, only selling 20,000 copies in its opening week, and only 88,000 copies as of April 2010. Dean DeLeo stated that the band was also unhappy about the performance, stating "We were all let down that that album didn't do what we thought it would do. It was a big let down for all of us."

In May 2007, the band quietly entered an indefinite hiatus upon the completion of touring in support of the album release. Later in the year, Patrick confirmed that he had returned to working on the fourth Filter album, and publicly announced that Army of Anyone was on hiatus. Patrick went on to record and release three new Filter albums, 2008's Anthems for the Damned, 2010s The Trouble with Angels, and 2013's The Sun Comes Out Tonight. Robert and Dean DeLeo rejoined Stone Temple Pilots when the band reunited in early 2008 to play a reunion tour and then released their self-titled sixth studio album in 2010. Ray Luzier became Korn's new drummer, officially being announced as a full-time member in April 2009.

Despite band members moving on to new or previous projects, they also alluded to the possibility of reforming in the future. Patrick said in an interview that he wouldn't mind possibly reuniting Army of Anyone someday, but only if the conditions weren't too difficult. Dean DeLeo answered similarly when asked the same question, stating "I don't know man, I would love to." In an interview after Korn's May 24, 2010 show in Omaha, Nebraska, Luzier went as far as to say that there were plans for all members to reconvene to work on a second album after Korn, Filter and Stone Temple Pilots' respective Summer 2010 tours. However, no other band members would report on such concrete plans, with Patrick even stating in a July 2010 that Filter was his main focus for the foreseeable future. He would also expand on this later on, complaining that the first one took too long (three years), and he and Robert DeLeo agreed it may be best to go back to their previous bands for now.

In 2011 and 2012, band members continued with the sentiment that it was possible, depending mostly on everyone's schedule. In a November 2011 interview, Patrick said of the future of the band: "Those guys are amazing, it's basically this simple: Robert has a studio in his basement where he can totally do his old-fashioned kind of classic sound. They can write and record at any moment in time, they can get Ray Luzier in to play drums and I can take it for a week or two and write vocals or sing it. So it's as easy as them kind of recording everything, which is actually probably tough because they're constantly working with Scott on Stone Temple Pilot stuff. So the band is always there, you know what I mean, we're alive, we talk, Dean and I are constantly in communication. Ray Luzier, every time I see him he's like 'Man that Army of Anyone record is still, people still come up to me and talk about that Army of Anyone record'. And I think that I honestly could probably do a way better job just 'cause of what I've learned lately as a singer...I think the best Army of Anyone record is still to come, it's still totally doable and could be even better."

When asked in May 2012 about the future status of Army of Anyone, Luzier reiterated Patrick's comments that they were still in contact, and even stated there was music they were working on, responding, "It's possible. We are all really good friends. We have a bunch of tunes in the works. I think if the time ever arose where we all could make our schedules fit, it would work out."

In July 2013, it was revealed that the Stone Temple Pilots would be touring with Filter starting in September 2013. With three of the four members of Army of Anyone present, Patrick hinted that some Army of Anyone songs could be revisited. However, in regard to working on new music as a band, Patrick referred to it as "a sleeping beauty" that " won't wake up for a long time to come". A year later, at a July 2014 Filter concert, Patrick alluded to starting work on a new Army of Anyone album soon. He later clarified that band members are currently in talks about if and how it would work, and that the music would largely be made by the other three members while he puts his vocals over it at the end of the recording process. As of 2016, Patrick still expressed interest in recording future albums with the band.

In May 2020, Patrick stated that a new song entitled "Summer Child", could possibly be released in the near future. Written by Patrick during recording sessions for a new Filter album, the song is currently awaiting additional recording and contributions from the Deleo brothers and Luzier. This song was later released on the Filter album The Algorithm in 2023, but without any production from the other Army of Anyone members.

Talk:The 69 Eyes

Billboard review
Goth rock moved in many different directions in the '90s and early 2000s, ranging from high-tech, heavily programmed electro-goth at one end to more organic, guitar-powered goth at the other. And goth rock doesn't get much more guitar-powered than Finland's the 69 Eyes, who have successfully combined the gloominess of Bauhaus and the Sisters of Mercy with influences that include the Doors, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, the Stranglers and even headbangers like Guns N' Roses, Rob Zombie and Motörhead. The 69 Eyes may be the most rock & roll band in goth rock (perhaps their music should be called "goth & roll"), and in fact, there are plenty of goth purists who will no doubt hear Framed in Blood: The Very Blessed of the 69 Eyes and insist that this best-of CD isn't really goth rock. They will claim that rockin' tracks like "Crashing High," "Ghettoway Car," "Too Much to Lose" and the Scandinavian hit "Gothic Girl" are merely punky hard rock or alternative rock with goth overtones; that no true goth band would have all the Lemmy Kilmister-isms that assert themselves on "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams," "Tang" and "Velvet Touch." But whether one sees these performances (which span 1995-2002) as true goth or merely goth-influenced, the fact is the 69 Eyes are infectious and a lot of fun. The word "fun," of course, isn't often used in connection with goth rock (which is known for its ultra-seriousness), but it's a word that easily describes the 69 Eyes on their own material as well as their clever remake of Blondie's "Call Me." For those who haven't experienced the "goth & roll" pleasures of the 69 Eyes, Framed in Blood would be an excellent starting point. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Lets analyze this review, from Alex Henderson. This seems to be the source to support it into "gothic rock." But he goes on to mention bands that are not gothic rock. Rob zombie? Motorhead? Guns n roses? Alice cooper? They mention a few bands that can be considered connected to gothic rock but he goes on to stress that in comparison to gothic rock they only seem to show influences or overtones. He seems to question the matter. Again, some may call them "gothic rock influenced" (which I wouldn't) which is already included in the article, this reviewer like many others throws around invented terms like "goth n roll" and "goth punk." Its almost as bad as people who try to use "love metal" with that crappy HIM band. This seems to only support influence, not actual gothic rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.236.174 (talk) 01:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Names
I've noticed that some articles about bands will have the members' real names and then nicknames in quotations, if no one minds, I'm going to do that to this article. (So like, "Jussi Heikki Tapio 'Jussi 69' Vuori".) If someone thinks that should be written differently, then by all means, do something, but for now I think it would make the article a tad bit more encyclopedic if we had their real names.--FaerytaleMalice 09:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

And with the names I've noticed that people that calling the bassist Archzie, I don't know if this is correct or not but on their official website it says his name is Archie and on their myspace it's Archzie. So I don't know.... maybe someone can change it or leave it. Welshy1791 08:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Genre
In their official Myspace their genre is discribed as gothic/rock so keep it!Also in their official site is mentioning about that.Xr 1 19:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Myspace is irrelevant. The genre-tags in myspace are very limited. --~Menorrhea 22:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes but in their site they consider theirselves as Goth band.Just read the whole biography.Or I have to citate. "The future turned goth" is said there. And Because you don;t think they are a gothic group that doesn't mean the really aren't!I asked about goth group and everyone said them!

 * The 69 Eyes' opinion is irrelevant. Many gothic rock groups didn't use the term Gothic rock, e.g. Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nehilim etc. But they were Gothic rock bands. Today, there are many new groups such 69 Eyes or HIM. They use the term Gothic rock, but they're not really Gothic rock. That's funny, but it's real. The 69 eyes is a typical Sleaze Rock group with an influence of Metal. --~Menorrhea 13:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Their music is dark,mostly slow,melodic and gothic.They have goth appearance.People describe them as goth rock,even as goth metal(see in www.allmusic.com, and they describe theirselves as goth.So I concider them as a goth band.

 * GOTHIC ROCK described an old music genre, based on the foundations of POST PUNK, PSYCHEDELIC ROCK and GLAM ROCK.
 * The 69 eyes don't use elements of those genres. They're a sleaze rock / hard rock / dark rock band with a strong metal influence. --~Menorrhea 22:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh...Just stop kidding yourself.There have been three waves of goth rock so it has changed in years.And first when I visited the article it was written GOTH ROCK.Well I guess you have changed this.Why since people consider them as goth?Or you are a true goth an you want to keep things like they was in the 80s?And another thing.Wikipedia works with sources.No sources-no genre.Where in the Internet they are said to be sleaze rock/glam rock/whatever NOW???If you find it I'll not change the genre.But if you not I'll change it everytime you remove goth!Xr 1 07:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah kiddie goths think that 69eyes and HIM are Goth. Pseudo-goth. They think that any music group with dark clothes is a goth group. But they don't know the stylistic elements of Gothic rock. Without a typical psychedelic rock and post-punk sound the music is definitely no Goth rock. You're looking for the third wave of Gothic rock? Look there --~Menorrhea 10:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually gothic rock is an old genre that has not seen "much" change, that is why there are genres like gothic metal for bands like this. Sure, sure we can say that goth rock has "changed" but the term goth rock refers to the new wave, post punk sound and if it is a different sound that deviates enough from this than it is a different genre. Here is a hint:Metal bands have a different history and background. That means that no matter how much you think "gothic rock" has "evolved," if it is a band that is closer to metal than it probably is not goth in the slightest because they are nowhere close. Even the genre gothic metal is a joke, but people seem to insist the "gothic adjective" for bands like this when a historical background for the gothic movement in the eighties is already well established. I saw one day someone just come around and add several genres which were clearly just what he thought the band was at that moment of the day, but unless there is verification from a source (A REAL source, that is credible in that area to say they are gothic rock and not some metal critic or magazine..) but you will not find it so let us just end it it here. You can push the not sourcing genres that are popular today, but you need some evidence to back up that a gothic rock band (a genre which is little popular today and really is not listened to anyone in pop culture) is 69 eyes.

kiddie goths think that Evanescence is a goth band... I listen to many goth music - Sister of Mercy,Lacrimosa,Bella Morte,Clan of Xymox...and I can say that The 69 Eyes's music is gothic.Xr 1 12:51, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Lacrimosa isn't Gothic rock... Until 1993/94 they played Darkwave music. In later years they played Gothic metal. The 69 Eyes is definitely no Goth rock group. It's a rock/metal band, the vocalist sounds like Peter Steele of Type O Negative. --Diluvien 16:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Lakrimosa isn't gothic metal...hear some bands like paradise lost or tristania The 69 eyes are goth.

 * Lacrimosa created their variant of Gothic Metal on the albums "Satura" and "Inferno". The 69 eyes are Sleaze rock.

I'm new to the Wikipedia, so I HOPE I my opinion can help... Okay, about their genre... It seems that most people noticed that The 69 Eyes fall a bit out of classic Gothic Rock. But music had changed during the last 20 years, so let it go. And who can say what DEFINES gothic rock. The music has been changing, there has been some bands that were considered gothic just because the they were there when the scene had begun, and others (like Sisters of Mercy) have been a great influence and considered part of the scene, though they fled from such categorizations. If we review today's scene we'll see there are thing these bands have in common: prominent use of deep bass vocals, deep-tuned guitars, heavy pluck-playing style, brooding bass, and off course... dark lyrics! If you listen through the Blessed Be and Paris Kills albums, you'll see that all of these define their sound. What may be arguable about it is their earlier albums, like Wasting the Dawn, which exhibit no, or rarely any of these caracteristics. They do sound very "garage" on those records, I agree with that. About their newer albums, like Devils and Angels, it seems that they have moved more towards general Rock sound, but they have kept their reference points. But, mind that, they're a different type of Gothic Rock, and all music can't be the same: they have influences from Garage, Sleaze, Gothic Metal, and what not, but they've always been aiming at the Gothic audience, and for a pun: THEY DO DRESS BLACK!

I hope my opinion has helped and not offended anyone. Wlad87 (talk) 20:45, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

That HIM that everyone so loves is kiddie music, I mean they made Dark Light, but it's not the same with 69 Eyes. There's a thing with bands from countries that don't have English as their maternal language - they write a bit childish lyrics, SO please forgive them if they're not from America. As for the music, they make music just to have fun. It's modern music, it's doesn't suck like many underground bands that can't tell their asses from they're heads (I'm not saying that there aren't good underground bands). There's a lot of people who listen to the Goth music, plus they listen to The 69 Eyes. If you don't like them, that's just your opinion. I myself listen to them merely because I find them amusing. As I said before all music can't be uniform. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wlad87 (talk • contribs) 21:55, June 16, 2008

There was a piece of trivia on this page that i deleted because it more so applied to Jyrki only, as opposed to the whole band. I put it on Jyrki's personal, SEPARATE page.

Semi-protection?

There is One Problem With This Page and It Ticks Me Off to See it, and Now That Its Protected I Cannot Change it. JUSSI IS NOT THE ORIGINAL DRUMMER HE HAS SAID SO HIMSELF.

Genre changes
I removed gothic rock earlier, as nothing on this page is cited. Someone did attempt to cite it, but the citations were poor in quality. Sputnikmusik is a community driven site, with brief descriptions written by unsigned people. I can not even verify who is using these "buzz terms" like "gothic melancholy" and "goth n' roll" that are supposed to be the support for including this band in a movement that occurred 20 years before 69 eyes' mainstream success. Gothic rock bands, authentic ones with post-punk and new wave sound, are rare these days and the source should be more credible than unsigned, community-based review sites with brief descriptions. One of the sources even listed the official website of 69 eyes as its source, which is unacceptable.

 what is your opinion about this source? Xr 1 15:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, regardless of my opinion it is a poor source. It is not so much "my opinion" that matters here. Read the wiki on sources, in the polices. One thing is to verify who wrote it; this does not say who wrote it at all. I think you are looking for the wrong sources; you keep showing stuff that just casually describes them. There are sources out there that actually review bands, but you keep pulling up stuff that goes off subject. This source, for instance, is advertising a contest. It than gives a brief description, calling it "gothic rock, garage rock, with a touch of glam rock/sleaze rock." However, if you read the gothic rock article and read the list of gothic rock bands article you will see that garage rock and sleaze rock have nothing to do with gothic rock. Glam rock had a small influence, but thats all. You can mention in the article that people say they have influences of gothic rock, but the genre category is for specific genres they belong to. Gothic rock was a movement that came out of the post-punk and new wave scene in the early eighties, and once you get into the nineties you see a decline of bands that actually belong to to the gothic rock genre because most of them were in the eighties and now there are relatively few people who can actually credibly call them gothic rock, compared to the many, many magazines that cover industrial and metal and many critics out there who can identify them. Compared to today's mainstream music, gothic rock would be be considered too "eighties" sounding or too "soft sounding." That is because gothic rock is almost a "dead genre" and not many "kids" listen to it anymore or even know what it is. It is not in popular culture, so people sometimes use gothic rock as a buzz word for anything they see as dark. So the problem is, gothic rock is not "just dark" it is a legitimate genre with a verifiable history. So, I certainly think it would be in order to say they are influenced by gothic rock but to have the audacity to include them in the genre is probably not going to be possible unless 69 eyes suddenly plays music that actually sounds like gothic rock. Than maybe they can catch the eye of those that critique and specialize in such music. Even on the gothic rock articles and list of gothic rock bands people exclude 69 eyes because they stand out compared to all of the original bands that were actually there when the genre was around. You can look at the talk pages on those articles if you wish. It is almost more of a history lesson, if anything else. Also, thank you for taking the time to read the talk page and discuss it here.

Well - there are no other sources that states to which genre belong the 69 eyes...in that case I can argue if they are garage rock (hypothetically).As you said the 69 eyes do not play the original gothic rock...but have been influenced and in their sound can be found much from it. Btw what you have written was really good and edifyingly.You're right about the new dark thing and so on..but about the 69 eyes - I still think goth rock should be included. Xr 1 17:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * You can think? IMO you're a stupid kid. The 69 eyes were never a goth rock group.

hey, you, 87.122.12.207 haven't you got anything to do?Go learn how to communicate.Xr 1 20:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Why do you think they should still be included? Its a touchy subject for me, because gothic rock as a genre is heavily involved with the subculture itself as well as having its own sound. They do not fit into what defines a gothic rock band in the genre. Its apparent in links across the web, like for this one http://www.new-noise.net/album-reviews/the-69-eyes/angels/the-69-eyes---angels_2282.html Again, we see the usual "goth/punk/glam!" buzz words all shoved together. Than, this writer connects them to things that are not associated with the gothic rock genre or subculture at all. Type O negative? Danzig? HIM? AFI? Aiden? All the things that an eighties goth rocker would not listen to. So I have here what "seems" to be proof that they belong to the gothic rock genre, given the description, but further along we see most writers have absolutely no idea what gothic rock is. I mean really, Lost Boys? Back in the day, people were drawing off the mystique of movies with Vincent Price and Bela Lugosi and anyone who still is a part of this "underground" subculture still do that to this day. The group sounds like a "wannabe" goth group; anything that has to do with vampires and melodramatic about death and melancholy is supposed to be goth? I do not see them mention any influences on that link about Andrew Eldritch or Peter Murphy; sex gang children? Those guys rarely actually sung about those things, but they sometimes alluded to them. The subculture is a lot more complex, and the stereotype of "darkness" being goth rock is probably one of the most anti-goth things there could be. Its clear that most people do not know what the hell they are talking about, and people like to enforce their views that gothic rock has "changed" but it has not. It is still in good ol 1980's. It hit in a brick wall in the 1990's and when it started to meld industrial and metal it ceased to "be" gothic rock and just became music influenced by gothic rock. But that does not make it in the genre.

This article was rediculous, yeah.But why I think they are gothic rock?Because I listen to the music.And when I listen to the 69 eyes I find from the goth style of  fields of the nephilim, clan of xymox, sister of mercy ... call me crazy if you want but that's what I feel and what I hear.The discussion for me it's over.

 * "Well - there are no other sources that states to which genre belong the 69 eyes...in that case I can argue if they are garage rock (hypothetically).As you said the 69 eyes do not play the original gothic rock...but have been influenced and in their sound can be found much from it. Btw what you have written was really good and edifyingly.You're right about the new dark thing and so on..but about the 69 eyes - I still think goth rock should be included." Original gothic rock is pretty much what the gothic rock article is for, so you answered your own question. Again, it covers the bands that started the genre and because it is not a genre that is still seeing innovation or widespread coverage there is little more you can call actual gothic rock than the bands that were there when it started. Most bands today, one way or another, have so much contemporary influence that they lose that "eighties" sound that is characteristic of the genre.

Many modern goth bands (that are in this list of gothic rock artists) do not sound 'eghties' but are still considered as gothic. The 69 eyes have so much gothic in their music!Just listen.I don't see how their later albums are sleaze rock! Xr 1 11:47, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Most of sources and reviews over the web label the band as gothic rock band. No sources stay for another. Gothic rock will stay, you may add other genres if referenced.Garret Beaumain (talk) 12:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but that's nonsense. Reviews, communities etc. are not reliable sources. A reviewer isn't a musicologist. In fact, you only spread the POV of a reviewer. --Ada Kataki (talk) 19:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

 * You claim EVERY source that counters your opinion as non-reliable. According to you, there's no reliable sources at all for music genres. But Music genres are not defined by "musicologists" they're defined by music journalists. Music journalist reviews is what we use in Wikipedia, reviews is what forms public opinion. Genres're always disputable, and only we have is to represent what is most frequently cited. Wikipedia represents all widespread points of view.

The most widespread point of view on 69 Eyes genre is that they play gothic rock. Not by single reviewer, but by dominant opinion the genre must be mentioned. And for albums, AllmusicGuide, Billboard, Darkside, Discogs, even Last.FM share the common opinion. Who's against? A single editor of Wikipedia?

Please stop your pointless edit war. I respect your point of view, but you did nothing to prove it right, only revert others' edits. Garret Beaumain (talk) 21:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way, its not because The 69 Eyes is a tough band to classify that you can dump responsibility for them in the Metal genre. They are not Heavy Metal in any shape or form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.83.185.118 (talk) 03:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Request for third opinion
I request for third opinion. User User:Ada Kataki is reverting any edits in The 69 Eyes article and album articles (Blessed Be, Paris Kills, Devils (album)), if Gothic rock genre is mentioned, even when referenced. User claims all cited sources as unreliable, though adds no other sources, which would support different point of view. As for now, there're several Billboard reviews, several All Music Guide reviews, RockDetector article, Discogs database, and several other sources that cite "gothic rock" genre. And there's, until now, no sources that counter that (and certainly, no sources for "heavy metal" or "dark rock"). I propose the gothic rock genre must be at least mentioned and listed in band's article as well as in album articles. Garret Beaumain (talk) 21:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

• Opinion It appears 's sources are likely suitably reliable, and they do indeed refer to the "Gothic Rock" or "Goth Rock" genre. Furthermore, the first hit on a Google search for the phrase "gothic rock" is in fact Wikipedia's own Gothic rock article, and other apparently-reliable sources show up in such a search as well. This, together with the edit summaries visible in 's contribs history, strongly suggests to me that s/he is indeed inappropriately reverting and deleting based only on having a problem with the existence of the genre. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 23:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Gothic rock is post punk genre with a strong psychedelic rock influence. The 69 eyes is a sleaze rock/metal group, nothing more. I agree, the band's music has a Gothic rock influence. But The 69 Eyes isn't a Gothic rock group. They're not representative of the genre. I listen to Gothic rock since two decades and the music of The 69 Eyes is very atypical. Don't forget their influences (Elvis Presley, Guns 'n Roses and others). --Ada Kataki (talk) 23:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, that's your opinion. What source shares it? A magazine, a journalist, a publicist? Just like Billboard. We cant write an article based only on one's opinion. Garret Beaumain (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Yeah I had to remove it again. Source of rockdetector is being used constantly, which is a self-created and reviewing site. Wikipedia does not condone their use. While I will go as far to say that rockdetector creator is recognize as an "authority" in some fields, if you look through the internet he is mainly a metal/industrial reviewer. Gothic rock is not a part of this area at all. Some say that they take an "influence," and even that is straining it but that is as far as I could conceivably concede to. Some people consider wearing black an "influence" of gothic rock and its very sketchy. But to say they belong to the genre is ridiculous. No mainstream band even plays gothic rock anymore, and any new additions must be substanstially archaic in their style. Off the record, just examine 69 eyes and then look at gothic rock bands. For christ sakes, their associated acts are "HIM" and "Cradle of Filth," both metal bands that play hard music. They associate with people like Bam Margera and their ilk. You can not honestly listen to sex gang children and then 69 eyes and actually think they are in the same room together? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.236.174 (talk) 00:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Associated acts have nothing to do with genre listing, they are a matter of personal relations (and HIM have nothing to do with metal music). Their goth influence is cited well, whatever is editor's opinion. And I can surely listen to Fields of the Nephilim and then to The 69 Eyes and say they are of the same genre. Garret Beaumain (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Third opinion
I think the second source given to classify the band as goth rock is sufficient. The Billboard review says "And goth rock doesn't get much more guitar-powered than Finland's the 69 Eyes" - I'm not sure that could be any clearer. The first link given - the review for Devils - actually states that the band is goth punk, and only says that the band "has studied the goth rock masters." I have since found another article at http://www.straight.com/article-69938/finland-s-69-eyes-carries-the-glam-goth-torch, which says "will his glam-goth rock quintet". That's got "goth rock" right in it, so I've removed the other link and added this one in. Normally criteria on Wikipedia ask for two or more independent sources to say something, so I think the two sources here are sufficient.

Having said that, the article is a mess. Eight of the twelve sources are from the band's site, which is sort of a violation of WP:SPS. You should most certainly be able to find a source for "Angels debuted at number 1 in Finland and has since gone gold." —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Reverts
Ada, please stop blindly reverting. There's at least three people on this talk page who believe that the Goth rock genre should be included on the article page, which is far more than the people who want it removed. Please respect WP:CONSENSUS and stop reverting. Thanks. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Loathe as I am to admit this, Ada is right. There is nothing about this band that qualifies them as being in any way Gothic anything. These sources are highly suspect and all of their influences are metal. Which automatically disqualifies them from being Goth. Please read the section in Gothic subculture where Mercer describes neos as only being famous for spectacularly missing the point. Neos, in this case, being anyone who could call 69 Eyes Goth. Goth is not glam. Goth was originally the anti-disco. Glam and disco are pretty much interchangable. Glam Goth is also an oxymoron. Just like "Gothic metal". Doesn't the fact that this article has a history of reverts by Goth and Rivethead editors on the genre section tell you anything? They do not qualify as Goth. They don't make Gothic music of any kind. They're rock, maybe. Metal, probably. And Goth? Not even close. And "genre warriors"? Really? Grow up. If someone reverts an edit to Vanilla Ice's page calling his music neoclassical do you accuse that person of something so insipid as being a "genre warrior"? As editors you are custodians of fact. You're not here to change fact to suit your opinions or taste. Kindly stop calling this band Gothic rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.244.79 (talk) 12:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll also kindly ask that you stop associating this non-edgy, hardly guitar based band anything heavy metal, except for their short-lived glam metal beginnings.

Pirates of the baltic sea?
Shouldn't this be added? The entire band is apart of this project to bring awareness to the state of the Baltic Sea and do something about it. The past few weeks their mobile blogs have been nothing but the time spent on the boat. Infact they only recently got off the boat —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.155.95 (talk) 10:40, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Tarnaka

Tarnaka is a major residential and industrial locality in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Tarnaka literally translates as "wired checkpost". In the local language (Hindi) Tar means wire/cable and naka means check post. Tarnaka used to have a vineyard during the Nizams period. An area called Kimtee colony got its name from the vineyards called Keemthi Gardens.

Another explanation for the naming of area lies in fact that there used to be old telegraph office where people came to telegraph from far so people used to refer to the area as "Tar" (which also means telegram) "Naka". There is still a BSNL office at the junction. The former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Chenna Reddy was a resident of Tarnaka. St. Ann's school was a landmark few decades back; it was a white building, hence the area was also called "White House". Osmania university is located in this area.

History
The area was predominantly inhabited by locals. As time passed they moved out and the Mudaliars, who were camp followers of the British, made immense contributions for the growth of education and health care. This explained the growth of the Secunderabad Club from a public room, as stated by Narendra Luther, who is an authority in Hyderabad history. This area had big vineyards and every nook and corner was checkered with large trees.

Until the IT boom hit Hyderabad, this place was one of the most serene ones to reside, with large bungalows and villas. The huge mango, gulmohar, Ashoka and tamarind trees spread over the roads provided huge shadows and an extremely pleasant feel in hot summer. Tarnaka was a well planned and organised place which old timers would swear. At turn of the new millennium — with IT revolution hitting hard with large influx of population and settlers — the area swelled with many more apartments and commercial buildings giving a complete new look. The tree canopy was so dense that people never needed to bother about shade in summer. Even today the area does have its trees and vegetation which may not be as dense but still has the glimpses of past. South Lallaguda is a nearby area, which together with the area around Mettuguda used to be known as Little England, due to cluster of an Anglo Indian community that primarily consisted of employees at the Secunderabad Railway carriage workshop.

Commercial area
The shopping area has big shopping malls like Reliance Smart and corner grocery stores. Tarnaka has shops which cater to all possible needs. There is a cinema theater called Aradhana 70 mm, which is visited by Osmania University students and residents.

Transport
Tarnaka is well connected by TSRTC and the Hyderabad Metro.

USS Brister

USS Brister (DE/DER-327) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy.

Namesake
Robert E. Brister was born on 4 May 1920 in Galveston, Texas. He enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve in 1941 and was commissioned an Ensign in 1942. He was officially reported missing in action 2 May 1942 when USS Cythera (PY-26), on which he was serving, was torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U-402 off the coast of North Carolina.

Built in Orange, Texas
Brister was laid down on 14 June 1943 at Consolidated Steel Corporation, Ltd., of Orange, Texas; launched on 24 August 1943, sponsored by Mrs. Blanche Brister, mother of Ensign Brister; and commissioned on 30 November 1943.

World War II operations
Between June 1944 and June 1945, Brister made two successful trans-Atlantic escort crossings to Italy and five to the United Kingdom. On 8 June 1945 she departed New York City for the Pacific, arriving at San Diego on 3 July 1945.

Brister departed Pearl Harbor in August 1945 and proceeded to the Far East, arriving there in September. She carried out patrol and escort duties in the East China Sea, supporting the occupation of Japan and Korea, until April 1946. She departed Singapore on 8 April 1946 and returned to Charleston, South Carolina, via the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean, arriving there on 30 May. Brister then reported for inactivation and went out of commission in reserve at Green Cove Springs, Florida, on 4 October 1946.

Conversion to radar picket ship
On 1 September 1955 Brister commenced conversion to a radar picket escort vessel at Charleston Naval Shipyard. She was recommissioned on 21 July 1956 as DER-327 and reported to the Atlantic Fleet for duty.

While assigned to Operation Market Time near the coastal waters of South Vietnam, she assisted USCGC Point Grey (WPB-82324) and USCGC Point Cypress (WPB-82326) in destroying a North Vietnamese trawler attempting to smuggle arms and ammunition into the country.

Struck from Navy records
Brister was stricken 23 September 1968.

3 November 1971: Sold for scrapping to Chi Shun Hua Steel Co., Kaohsiung, Taiwan

Harbor Drive

Harbor Drive is a short roadway in Portland, Oregon, spanning a total length of 0.7 mi, which primarily functions as a ramp to and from Interstate 5. It was once much longer, running along the western edge of the Willamette River in the downtown area. Originally constructed from 1942–43, the vast majority of the road was replaced with Tom McCall Waterfront Park in the 1970s. Signed as U.S. Route 99W, it had been the major route through the city and its removal is often cited as the first instance of freeway removal in the U.S. and as a milestone in urban planning; the original road is remembered as the first limited-access highway built in the city.

Construction
Harbor Drive opened in stages from 1942 to 1943, with a formal dedication on November 20, 1942, and completion of the last work in 1943. Seventy-nine buildings and houses were demolished, mostly along Front Avenue, to make room for Harbor Drive. Although the project was criticized for the removal of some historic buildings and for the fact that the new roadway would impede the public's access to the waterfront, most civic organizations supported it, and a majority of the public also indicated its support by approving in 1940 a $1.25 million bond measure (65,000 to 35,000 votes) to help fund the project, which included the city's acquisition of all property between Front Avenue and the river along the stretch from Glisan to Columbia streets.

The roadway was the original route of US 99W (locally called "Highway 99W") into downtown Portland from the south. The highway came from Barbur Boulevard and ran through the downtown area via a couplet on 4th and 6th avenues. US 99W then crossed the Willamette River on the Broadway Bridge towards Interstate Avenue, where it headed north to the Interstate Bridge and the city of Vancouver, Washington.

In 1950, a controlled-access highway, though crude by modern standards, opened and was at least partly known as Harbor Drive. It started with an interchange with Barbur Boulevard, joined the Willamette shore near an interchange with Clay and Market streets, and then ran along the shore to the Steel Bridge. US 99W then crossed the Steel Bridge, and turned north on a controlled-access extension to Interstate Avenue, until it resumed its old routing at an interchange with the Broadway Bridge. It was the first freeway to be completed in Portland, and the only north–south freeway for over a decade. A new series of interchanges at Market and Clay streets was approved for construction in 1955.

One block west of Harbor Drive was Front Avenue, then a minor street, and one block west of that was 1st Avenue. Many industrial and commercial buildings, including the Portland Public Market building, were located between Harbor and Front. Harbor Drive connected to the downtown streets, the Hawthorne Bridge and the Morrison Bridge via a series of interchanges.

In 1961, a new freeway (which at the time extended from Eugene to Tigard) was completed to the existing Harbor Drive in downtown Portland, and signed as Interstate 5 and (temporarily) as U.S. Route 99. In 1966, the Marquam Bridge and the Minnesota Street Freeway were completed, thus making I-5 a contiguous freeway from the California to Washington borders, and making Harbor Drive obsolete as a long-haul thoroughfare.

During this period, there was growing resistance to the construction of additional proposed freeways both in Portland and elsewhere in the United States.

Removal
The Olmsted Report (1903) and also the Bennett Plan (1912) had proposed an urban greenway to preserve the Willamette riverfront; however, the Harbor Drive Freeway restricted pedestrian access to the riverfront in 1943 and the Oregon State Highway Department had proposals to extend Harbor Drive.

Oregon Governor Tom McCall halted expansion and created a task force to study options for replacing Harbor Drive with a public place. The task force recommended closure and conversion to a park. The opening of the Fremont Bridge in 1973, which completed Interstate 405, resulted in a second Interstate through the downtown area, but accomplished a reduction in traffic levels on Harbor Drive.

Harbor Drive was permanently closed north of Market Street in May 1974. Construction soon began on a new park, Waterfront Park. In addition, the buildings between Front Avenue and Harbor Drive were demolished, and Front Avenue (since renamed Naito Parkway after Bill Naito, a local businessman and philanthropist) was widened to a boulevard.

Harbor Drive today
The southernmost segment of Harbor Drive still exists, connecting to I-5 southbound and from I-5 northbound, and has two intermediate intersections with traffic signals that provide access to the RiverPlace district. As all ramps to/from the continuation of I-5 as well as I-405 exit and enter from the right, it can be thought of as the default route for those traveling on I-5. Few signs identify it as such; the exit signs on the freeway indicate the route leads to Naito Parkway, and directional signs heading south all say "To I-5". One other remnant of Harbor Drive is a small portion of a ramp stub from the Hawthorne Bridge; the majority of which has been removed due to construction of the new county courthouse.

Waterfront Park opened on the land formerly occupied by the highway in 1978 and is a popular destination for sightseers, picnickers, and off-street path users, as well as a site for civic events such as the Rose Festival fun center.

Legacy
In addition to creating a major recreation facility for the city of Portland, the closure of Harbor Drive is widely considered a significant event in urban planning – the first time a freeway had ever been removed without being replaced. It (along with the subsequent cancellation of Interstate 505 and the Mount Hood Freeway) cemented Portland's reputation as a model of pedestrian- and transit-friendly design. Since the completion of Interstate 205 in the mid 1980s, no new freeways have been built in the city other than a short realignment of U.S. Route 30 near the Fremont Bridge.

1959 NFL season

The 1959 NFL season marked the 40th regular season of the National Football League. It was the first season overseen by youthful commissioner Pete Rozelle, who was named to the position following the sudden death in October of commissioner Bert Bell.

A twelve-game season was played, culminating in a league championship game between the Western Conference winning Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants, winners of the Eastern Conference. The Colts emerged victorious in the battle between the league's best offense and its best defense with a fourth quarter comeback, winning by a score of 31–16.

Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas, who lead the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns, was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the 1959 NFL season.

Draft
The 1959 NFL draft was held on December 1, 1958, and January 21, 1959 at Philadelphia's Warwick Hotel. Thirty rounds of selections were conducted, with a total of 360 players selected by the 12 teams of the league.

With the first pick, the Green Bay Packers selected quarterback Randy Duncan from the University of Iowa.

Significant events
In September, roster limits were increased by one, to 36 players per team.

Tragedy struck on October 11 as commissioner Bert Bell suffered a fatal heart attack at Philadelphia's Franklin Field while watching the Eagles host the Pittsburgh Steelers. He died at age 65 at the nearby university hospital; league treasurer Austin Gunsel was named interim commissioner for the rest of the season.

The Chicago Cardinals played their final season in Chicago before relocating to St. Louis for the following season.

In the NFL Championship Game on December 27, the Baltimore Colts defeated the New York Giants for the second year in a row.

Statistical leaders
For the third consecutive season, running back Jim Brown of the Cleveland Browns lead the NFL in rushing, gaining a total of 1329 yards on 290 touches, an average of 4.6 yards per carry. Brown's 14 touchdowns scored tied for the league high with wide receiver Raymond Berry of the Colts.

Leading the NFL with 3,899 yards passing was Colts quarterback John Unitas, who also lead all quarterbacks with 32 passing touchdowns against 14 interceptions. Unitas also led the league in both attempts and completions, going 193 for 367 (52.6%) for the year. The best completion percentage in the league (58.64%) was posted by Milt Plum of the Browns, who narrowly edged out Bill Wade of the Los Angeles Rams (58.62%).

Topping the league in receiving was Raymond Berry of the Colts, who hauled down 66 passes for 959 yards, an average of 14.5 yards per reception. Berry's closest competitor was 6'3" end Del Shofner of the Rams, who posted 936 yards gained on 47 receptions, for an average of 19.9 yards per catch.

The leading punter for 1959 was Yale Lary of the Detroit Lions, with an average of 47.1 yards on his 45 punts, according to official statistics.

Defensive statistics like sacks and tackles were not recorded during this era of professional football, with interceptions the sole metric recorded. Three players tied with 7 interceptions during the 12 game season — Dean Derby of the Steelers and a pair of Colts, defensive halfback (cornerback) Milt Davis and linebacker Don Shinnick.

The top defense of the 1959 season was that of the New York Giants, who allowed just 170 points for the year (14.2 points per game). The top offense belonged to the Baltimore Colts, who racked up 374 total points (31.2 points per game) during the regular season.

Conference races
The NFL had six teams in each conference; each played a home-and-away game against the other five conference teams, and two games outside the conference. The Bears and Cardinals, and the Redskins and Colts, faced each other in an interconference game each year, as they were close geographic rivals.

After the second week, when the 1–1–0 Giants had to share the Eastern Conference lead with all five of the other clubs, the Giants won seven of the next eight games to clinch the title in Week Ten. In the Western Conference, the San Francisco 49ers, who had come close (1952, 1953, 1954, and 1957) several times since joining the NFL, were 6–1 and had a two-game lead over their closest rival, the 4–3 Colts. In Week Nine, though, the 49ers lost in Baltimore, 45–14 (November 22) and they shared the lead at 6–3–0. Two weeks later, San Francisco had the home field advantage when they faced the Colts for a rematch. Baltimore won again, 34–14, and clinched the title the following week.

NFL Championship Game
Baltimore 31, NY Giants 16 at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, on December 27.
