Akathist

An Akathist or Acathist Hymn (Ἀκάθιστος Ὕμνος, "unseated hymn") is a type of hymn usually recited by Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic Christians, dedicated to a saint, holy event, or one of the persons of the Holy Trinity. The name derives from the fact that during the chanting of the hymn, or sometimes the whole service, the congregation is expected to remain standing in reverence, without sitting down (ἀ-, a-, "without, not" and κάθισις, káthisis, "sitting"), except for the aged or infirm.

The Akathist is also known by the first three words of its prooimion (preamble), Têi hypermáchōi strategôi (Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ στρατηγῷ, "To you, invincible champion") addressed to Holy Mary (Panagia Theotokos, "The all-holy birth-giver of God").

During Byzantine Catholic and Orthodox Christian religious services in general, sitting, standing, bowing and the making of prostrations are set by an intricate set of rules, as well as individual discretion. Only during readings of the Gospel and the singing of Akathists is standing considered mandatory for all.

Origin and History
The akathist par excellence is the one written for the feast of Annunciation of the Theotokos (25 March). This kontakion was traditionally attributed to Romanos the Melodist since kontakia of Romanos dominated the classical repertoire of 80 kontakia sung during the cathedral rite of the Hagia Sophia, though recent scholarship rejects this authorship like in cases of many other kontakia of the core repertoire. According to the synaxary the origin of the feast is assigned by the Synaxarion to the year 626, when Constantinople, in the reign of Heraclius, was attacked by the Persians and Avars but saved through the intervention of the Most Holy Theotokos. "From that time, therefore, the Church, in memory of so great and so divine a miracle, desired this day to be a feast in honour of the Mother of God ... and called it Acathistus" (Synaxarion). This origin is disputed by Sophocles on the grounds that the hymn could not have been composed in one day, and its twenty-four oikoi contain no allusion to such an event and therefore could not have been composed to commemorate it. However the feast may have originated, the Synaxarion commemorates two other victories, under Leo III the Isaurian, and Constantine Pogonatus, similarly ascribed to the intervention of the Theotokos.

No certain ascription of its authorship can be made. It has been attributed to Patriarch Sergius I of Constantinople, whose pious activities the Synaxarion commemorates in great detail. J.M. Quercius (1777) assigns it to George Pisida, deacon, archivist, and sacristan of Hagia Sophia whose poems find an echo both in style and in theme in the Akathist; the elegance, antithetic and balanced style, the vividness of the narrative, the flowers of poetic imagery being all very suggestive of his work. His position as sacristan would naturally suggest such a tribute to the Theotokos, as the hymn only gives more elaborately the sentiments condensed into two epigrams of Pisida found in her church at Blachernae. Quercius also argues that words, phrases, and sentences of the hymn are to be found in the poetry of Pisida. Leclercq finds nothing absolutely demonstrative in such a comparison and offers a suggestion which may possibly help to a solution of the problem.

Before the turn of the 21st century the Akathist was usually assigned to the 6th or 7th century but more recent scholarship, driven by the work of Leena Peltomaa, has argued for a 5th century origin on the basis of theological content. Cunningham concurs with Peltomaa's analysis of the hymn's Christology but postulates, from its "highly developed poetic form" and elaborate invocations of Mary, a somewhat later provenance of the latter 5th/early 6th century. In contrast, Shoemaker reasons that "Peltomaa's [arguments] for dating the Akathist hymn to the period before Chalcedon would seem to apply equally if not even more so" for a collection of Marian hymns within the Georgian Chantbook of Jerusalem that he contends are of primarily pre-Chalcedonian authorship. Following Renoux he argues that the hymns, which are colourful and invocatory, contain theology closest to mid-5th century homilists, bearing witness to a highly developed cult of Mary at an earlier period than previous generations of scholars had appreciated. Reynolds summarises prevailing opinion as being in favour of a date for the Akathist "somewhere between the Councils of Epheus and Chalcedon." Similarly, Arentzen observes that most scholars now favour an early provenance.

Since the 14th century the Akathist moved from the menaion to the moveable cycle of the triodion, and the custom established that the whole hymn was sung in four sections throughout Lent. As such it became part of the service of the Salutations to the Theotokos (used in the Byzantine tradition during Great Lent).

Structure
Apart from its usual dedication to the menaion and the early custom to celebrate kontakia during the Pannychis (festive night vigil celebrated at the Blachernae chapel), the Akathist had also the political function to celebrate military victories or to ask during wars for divine protection intermediated by prayers of the Theotokos. This function is reflected within the synaxarion. When an akathist is chanted by itself, the Usual beginning, a series of prayers which include the Trisagion (thrice-holy) is often said as a prelude to the akathist hymn. The akathist may also be included as a part of another service, such as Matins or a Molieben.

One of the exceptional features of this Akathist is its acrostic style; the Greek original consists of 24 oikoi, each one beginning with the next letter of the alphabet. Due to the excessive length the kontakion became truncated like the others, but even the earliest chant books with musical notation (the Tipografsky Ustav, for instance) have the complete text of all 24 oikoi written out, but the last 23 oikoi without musical notation. The hymn itself is divided into thirteen parts, each of which is composed of a kontakion and an oikos (Greek: οίκος, house, possibly derived from Syriac terminology). The kontakion usually ends with the exclamation: Alleluia, which is repeated by a choir in full settings or chanted by the reader in simple settings. Within the latter part of the oikos comes an anaphoric entreaty, such as Come or Rejoice.

For example, the Akathist to the Theotokos:

Kontakion One
 * Queen of the Heavenly Host, Defender of our souls, we thy servants offer to thee songs of victory and thanksgiving, for thou, O Mother of God, hast delivered us from dangers. But as thou hast invincible power, free us from conflicts of all kinds that we may cry to thee:

 * Rejoice, unwedded Bride!

Oikos One
 * An Archangel was sent from Heaven to say to the Mother of God: Rejoice! And seeing Thee, O Lord, taking bodily form, he was amazed and with his bodiless voice he stood crying to her such things as these:

 * Rejoice, thou through whom joy will flash forth!
 * Rejoice, thou through whom the curse will cease!
 * Rejoice, revival of fallen Adam!
 * Rejoice, redemption of the tears of Eve!
 * Rejoice, height hard to climb for human thoughts!
 * Rejoice, depth hard to contemplate even for the eyes of Angels!
 * Rejoice, thou who art the King's throne!
 * Rejoice, thou who bearest Him Who bears all!
 * Rejoice, star that causest the Sun to appear!
 * Rejoice, womb of the divine incarnation!
 * Rejoice, thou through whom creation becomes new!
 * Rejoice, thou through whom the Creator becomes a babe!
 * Rejoice, unwedded bride!

The thirteenth kontakion (which, unlike the preceding twelve, does not have a corresponding oikos) is usually followed by the repetition of the first oikos and kontakion. After the thirteen kontakia and oikoi, additional prayers are added, such as a troparion and another kontakion. The final kontakion is the famous "Tē i Hypermáchō i Stratēgō i " ("Unto the Defender General"), a hymn addressing Mary as the savior of Constantinople in the 626 siege:
 * Unto the Defender General the dues of victory,
 * and for the deliverance from woes, the thanksgiving
 * I, Thy city, ascribe Thee, O Theotokos.
 * And having your might unassailable,
 * deliver me from all danger
 * so that I may cry unto Thee:
 * Rejoice, O Bride unwedded.

Another characteristic feature of the Akathist is the extraordinary length of the refrain or ephymnion which consists of a great number of verses beginning with χαῖρε (“Rejoice”) which are called in Greek Chairetismoi (Χαιρετισμοί, "Rejoicings") or in Arabic Madayeh, respectively; in the Slavic tradition these are known as Khayretizmy (Хайретизмы). The chairetismoi are only repeated in every second oikos, and from a musical point of view the ephymnion consists just of a short musical phrase, either about the last χαῖρε verse or about allelouia.

Various ways of celebration

When the word akathist is used alone, it most commonly refers to the original hymn by this name, the 6th century Akathist to the Theotokos. This hymn is often split into four parts and sung at the "Salutations to the Theotokos" service on the first four Friday evenings in Great Lent; the entire Akathist is then sung on the fifth Friday evening. Traditionally it is included in the Orthros (Matins) of the Fifth Saturday of Great Lent, which for this reason is known as the "Saturday of the Akathist". In monasteries of Athonite tradition, the whole Akathist is usually inserted nightly at Compline.

The four sections into which the Akathist is divided correspond to the themes of the Annunciation, Nativity, Christ, and the Theotokos herself.

The hymn itself forms an alphabetical acrostic—that is, each oikos begins with a letter of the Greek alphabet, in order—and it consists of twelve long and twelve short oikoi. Each of the long oikoi include a seven-line stanza followed by six couplets employing rhyme, assonance and alliteration, beginning with the greeting Chaíre and ending with the refrain, "Rejoice, Bride without bridegroom!" (also translated as "Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!") In the short oikoi, the seven-line stanza is followed by the refrain, Alleluia.

The Salutations to the Theotokos service, often known by its Greek name, the Χαιρετισμοί/Chairetismoí (from the Χαίρε/Chaíre! so often used in the hymn), consists of Compline with the Akathist hymn inserted. It is known in Arabic as the Madayeh.

The writing of akathists (occasionally spelled acathist) developed within the Slavic traditions as a genre of its own as part of the general composition of an akolouthia, although not all compositions are widely known nor translated beyond the original language. Reader Isaac E. Lambertsen has done a large amount of translation work, including many different akathists. Most of the newer akathists are pastiche, that is, a generic form imitating the original 6th-century akathist to the Theotokos into which a particular saint's name is inserted. In the Greek, Arabic, and Russian Old Rite traditions, the only akathist permitted in formal liturgical use is the original akathist.

Indulgence
The Enchiridion Indulgentiarum of 2004 confirmed the plenary indulgence on condition that it is recited piously in a church or oratory (even alone), in a family, religious community, an association of Christ's faithful or, more generally, in a meeting of a plurality of people who come together honestly for this purpose. In other circumstances, partial indulgence is permitted.

Icons
There are three miraculous icons of the Theotokos on Mount Athos, which are known by the title of "Akathist":

Dionysiou
This icon "Panagia of the Salutations the Myrrhgusher" is in a chapel of the Dionysiou Monastery where the Akathist is sung daily before it. The inscription on the back of the icon states it was a gift to Saint Dionysius by Emperor Alexios III Komnenos, upon his visit to Trebizond in Asia Minor. According to tradition, this is the icon that Patriarch Sergius carried in procession around the walls of Constantinople in 626 A.D. when the city was attacked by the Persians and Avars.

Hilandar
The icon of the Theotokos "Of the Akathist" is on the iconostasis of Hilandar Monastery. In 1837 a fire occurred at this monastery, and the monks were chanting the Akathist Hymn in front of this icon. Though the fire caused great destruction around it the icon itself remained untouched by the flames.

The feast day of the Icon of the Theotokos "Akathist-Hilandar" is celebrated on January 12 (for those churches which follow the Julian Calendar January 12 falls on January 25 of the modern Gregorian Calendar).

Zographou
A similar icon is venerated in the Monastery of Zographou. The feast day of the Icon of the Theotokos "Akathist-Zographou" is celebrated on October 10 (October 23).

Note: this has not been listed on Requested moves.

Move back to orginal Interstate 268(Proposed). That would be its number when completed and where it should be. Never heard of it called West Run Expressway, and it is on the East side of Morgantown, which makes this title confusing. --71Demon 00:17, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 575 Google results for "West Run Expressway". Nothing relevant found when searching for "I-268" or "Interstate 268". It presumably runs along a river named West Run. You have yet to produce any sources that show that it is now being called only I-268. --SPUI (talk) 00:28, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

According to the first google link there: "Charleston, West Virginia – The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) announced today that it would suspend further work by its consultant doing the study on the West Run Expressway." According to this, there is no more "West Run Expressway," it is a dead project. The project is being picked up as I-268, which is why this entry is not valid.--Drunski 02:03, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Quick Delete change my vote from move to quick delete. The West Run Expressway project was officially terminated by WVDOH on 2 March 2001, therefore this entry has no reason to be here. The Current administration has interest in building the Morgantown bypass and are refering to it as Interstate 268. As a West Virginian working with WVDOH as a member of the Mineral County Planning Commision, and the Route 50 Association Federal Funding Committee of have heard WVDOH officials in Charleston refer to it as I-268. The current admininstration wants it as an Interstate to encourage Shunpiking the PA Turnpike for Economic growth along Interstate 79 and Interstate 68. --71Demon 12:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Factual error
I have been deeply involved with West Virginia highway projects, and can verify that Interstate 268 is not a proposed road within the state of West Virginia. The West Run Expressway is a continuation of the Mon-Fayette Expressway (PA 43) in Pennsylvania, and will be signed WV 43 in West Virginia. It will only be a few scant miles long, with construction beginning in 2010. Currently, traffic utilizes CR 859. I will refile this and ask for this article to be deleted, and for the West Run Expressway page to have its redirect removed. A WV 43 redirect would work instead. I also have sources for these statements, from executive summaries to planning documents...  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 02:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Never mind. I'm confusing way too many projects here.

John Hubbard Sturgis

John Hubbard Sturgis (August 5, 1834 – February 14, 1888) was an American architect and builder who was active in the New England area during the late 19th century. His most prominent works included Codman House, Lincoln, Massachusetts, and the personal residence of Isabella Stewart Gardner. Later in his architectural career he founded, along with Charles Brigham, Sturgis and Brigham. The firm lasted nearly two decades in New England and received many notable commissions such as the first Boston Museum of Fine Arts building, located in Copley Square.

Early life
Sturgis was born in Macau, China on August 5, 1834. He was a son of the "very intelligent" Russell Sturgis, a wealthy Boston merchant active in the China opium trade. After attending Boston Latin School, he traveled extensively in Europe when his father became a partner in Barings Bank in London.

In England, he studied architectural drawing under James K. Colling. In 1858, Sturgis married Frances Anne Codman of Boston, later to be aunt of noted interior designer Ogden Codman Jr.

Career
For the first three years after his 1858 marriage, Sturgis was in Surrey, where he tried an architectural practice, but their time there ended with the death of their first child, Julia, in January 1861.

Colling & Sturgis

By 1856/7, he had joined with Colling to form an architectural partnership. It seems Colling provided the designs and detailing for the architectural work and that Sturgis supervised the work in progress. Their first commission was the Albany erected in 1856 for the Liverpool banker Richard Naylor. The Albany was built as a meeting place for cotton brokers. It contained offices and meeting rooms, together with warehousing facilities in the basement. It seems probable that this commission came to Colling and Sturgis as a result of Sturgis' fathers banking connection. The Albany was followed by the building of Ashwicke Hall in Marshfield, Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire for the Liverpool Attorney John Orred. This was a massive castellated Tudor Gothic House with a lofty octagonal tower at the S E.

Then in 1859, John Naylor, brother of Richard Naylor, who was also a banker and Montgomeryshire landowner requested Colling to re-build Garthmyl Hall, Berriew for his brother-in-law Major-General William George Gold. Colling was given a free hand by the wealthy John Naylor when building Garthmyl Hall, as seen by the use of lavish gilding and plasterwork for ceiling decoration, and for the ornamental stonework on the exterior. This was an opportunity for him to put into practice some of the designs illustrated in his books. It is assumed that Sturgis was also involved in this project, as there appears to be widespread use of Terracotta, which would have been supplied by Blashfield of Stamford in this project; and that stylistically this house appears to be a precursor to Sturgis' use of terracotta in America.

Bryant & Gilman and Boston practice

In autumn 1861, Sturgis and his wife returned to Boston, where Sturgis found work at Bryant & Gilman, then the largest architectural firm in Boston. During this time he worked his own practice as well, providing designs for seaside cottages for members of the family and others. These included

 * Sunnywaters in (1863), Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, for his older brother Russell.
 * The Grange, or Codman House, in Lincoln, Massachusetts, which he thoroughly redesigned from in 1862-8 for his wife's brother Ogden Codman.
 * Lowlands, Nahant, Massachusetts, for George Abbott James.
 * Col. Charles Codman Estate in Cotuit, Massachusetts, for the Charles Russell Codman.
 * Greenvale Farm (1864), Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
 * Seaside house (1864), Land's End, on Ledge Road, Newport, Rhode Island, for Sam Ward, his father's business associate. This house was later acquired by Edith Wharton, a cousin through the New York Newbolds, and completely reworked by her and Ogden Codman Jr. for their book, The Decoration of Houses.
 * The Rocks (1866), Newport Rhode Island.

Sturgis & Brigham

In 1866, Sturgis formed a partnership with a fellow Bryant and Gilman employee, Charles Brigham, to found Sturgis and Brigham. This partnership would last twenty years, until shortly before Sturgis's death. Sturgis was also visiting England regularly and continued to work closely with Colling, who supplied him with designs. Colling is known to have supplied the designs for stonework on Pinebank Mansion (1868) a house for Edward N. Perkins' on the shore of Jamaica Pond. Sturgis also imported terracotta from J. M. Blashfield's works at Stamford, Lincolnshire for this project, which served as the prototype for the terracotta used for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Following the recommendations of Henry Cole, Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, Sturgis & Brigham were appointed architects to build the new Boston Museum of Fine Arts (1870–1876) in a Gothic style. Colling prepared all the drawings for the terracotta decoration and commissioned them from Blashfield's works. At this point terracotta production had hardly developed in the United States and the products often lacked durability. The building of the Museum was the first major use of Terracotta in an American building and led to its widespread popularity. It did not bring success to Blashfield, who had underestimated the cost of the contract and the problems of shipping to America. The Stamford Terracotta Company was forced in liquidation in 1874. For future supplies of terracotta for the Codman and YMCA buildings in Boston, which were the work of Sturgis & Brigham, they were likely to have been reliant in terracotta from the Chicago Terracotta Company, run by James Taylor, Blashfield's former foreman.

Other buildings by Sturgis include:
 * Church of the Advent on Beacon Hill, executed in the Early English Gothic Style between 1875 and 1888.
 * Isabella Stewart Gardner House for Isabella Stewart Gardner on Beacon Street in Boston.
 * Frederick Ames House at 306 Dartmouth Street in Boston's Back Bay (now known as the Ames-Webster Mansion).
 * "The Cottage" (1870) for H. H. Hunnewell on the Hunnewell estate in Wellesley, Massachusetts. This last commission is considered to be the first bona fide example of the Queen Anne style of residential architecture in the United States.

Later life
In later years, Sturgis re-designed the 1737 Boylston House in Brookline, Boston, which he rented between 1870 and 1888 from Colonel Henry Lee. Sturgis died on a visit to England in 1888.

After his death, his nephew Richard Clipston Sturgis continued the architectural practice.

The FAA, DOT and the DOD finally came to their senses and pulled the plug on the Airline.

Quoting revision 2006-03-19 Planet Airways was acquired by PHC Holdings in early 2005, however, the business agreement was terminated in June 2005 when the airline was shut down by the FAA. PHC, Planet Holdings Corp was founded by the officers and directors of Planet Airways. The creation of PHC was a device to transfer assets from a failing entity into a new corporation without any credit history, while leaving the debt intact with Planet Airways.

Untrue and impossible: see below. + In May 2005, do to poor management, and questionable operational practices effecting the safety of flight, as well as numerous consumer complaints, the FAA, revoked the airline's operating certificate, the DOT revoked Planet's economic authority to operate, and the Department of Defence revoked their athority to fly for the DOD. This should be in the article, but is in need of references. Help me out please. --SooperJoo 14:48, 14.March 2007 (UTC)

FYI, it is not possible to transfer assets from an insolvent corporation into a new entitiy, thereby "leaving the debt intact" with the old company. If this was possible every insolvent company would do so. In addition, the company's aircraft likely were carrying debt from bank loans, which would also preclude any such action from being possible. Finally, PHC was founded by three individuals not related to Planet Airways other than their friendship/affiliation with Lou Pearlman, one residing in California and two in New York.

Another question: what was the company's relation to Caribbean Sun ? --SooperJoo 17:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

PHC is a publicly traded shell run by friends of Lou Pearlman. Pearlman agreed for PHC to acquire Planet Airways' stock allegedly for cash flow purposes. The principal operator of PHC was Kevin James Quinn. Upon an investigation of Quinn by Planet's attorneys they discovered Quinn had been disbarred as an attorney in California and was also banned by the SEC from participating in public offerings exactly like what Pearlman was trying to do. Upon this discovery the operating parters of the airline overruled Pearlman and killed the transaction. The SEC's legal action against Kevin Quinn can be viewed at the following address: "http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/lr19103.htm". Planet Airways was never acquired by PHC, and the letter of intent from PHC was cancelled six months prior to the suspension of the airline's operating certificate. According to the FAA, this suspension was a result of the airline's poor financial condition at that time. The airline had no outstanding flight safety issues at the time of revocation. 22:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I moved from the article to have it discussed here. References, please. The latter version is disputed, because: Although business law precludes the transfer of only assets from a corporation while leaving debt behind, bank loans using Planet Airways' aircraft and equipment as collateral would, in any event, remain intact and these assets would therefore remain encumbered regardless of where they were transferred. In addition, any such alleged transfer of assets would require the lender's approval per the loan agreements.

Common sense: this is like saying a bank has a mortgage on your house, and you decide to move the house to your wife or husband's name while leaving the mortgage in your name. This way the new owner of the house owns it free and clear, while the debt remains behind. Ridiculous. Planet could never have transferred its assets to a new entity while leaving its debt behind, especially with the debt it was carrying on its assets. Several PHC press releases reference they were acquiring Planet's stock as a means to capitalize the company for acquiring new aircraft and for cash flow purposes. If they were going to set up some new "device to transfer assets" they would not have structured the deal to acquire Planet's stock, thereby acquiring the company and all of its assets and liabilities.

Blue Hawk Mine

Blue Hawk Mine is a gold mine located on the east slope of Blue Grouse Mountain, on the west side of Okanagan Lake. The mine is just a few kilometres from Downtown Kelowna in the Canadian province of British Columbia.

The mine consists of several adits operated for a single year, 1934, and has been virtually abandoned ever since. British Columbia's Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources refers to the mine as "082ENW002", and states that 5 metric tonnes of ore was mined yielding 560 grams (18 oz t) of silver and 156 grams (5 oz t) of gold. The total horizontal length of the mine is approximately 90 metres.

The mine is known to many Kelowna locals, and a gravel road leading past the mine is regularly maintained. The entrance to the mine often contains pooled water, but the interior is relatively dry and contains many undisturbed geological formations ([[Media:Rock formations 1 inside Blue Hawk Mine.JPG|first]], [[Media:Rock formations 2 inside Blue Hawk Mine.JPG|second]]).

The location of the mine according to British Columbia's Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources is 49.98389°N, -119.51833°W. Several Kelowna locals have reported the entrance to the mine to be at the alternate coordinates of 49.98389°N, -119.51639°W, at an elevation of 965 meters.

History
More recent history of the property and rights is unclear, though the most recent owner to the property seems to be Armac Investments Ltd. of Vancouver, BC. The claims to an area covering 3 km² -- including the Blue Hawk Mine—may have been sold by Armac to Southern Pacific Development Corp. of Vancouver, BC, in 2004 or 2005.
 * 1930s: Blue Hawk Mine, surface trenching and pits
 * 1965 through 1980: Dawood Mines Ltd explores the property with surface trenching, linecutting, grid preparation, soil sampling, and magnetometer survey. F. Marshall Smith's Assessment Report also mentions "minor scaling of the main adit walls and roof", though the exact year this was undertaken is not recorded.
 * 1980 through 1986: Neall Curtis Lenard completes limited prospecting, mapping and sampling programs
 * 1986 through ?: Pinewood Resources performs additional drilling, trenching, soil sampling for gold, and completes "a 5 hole drill program in the area of the existing adit"

Adit map
Page 13 of F. Marchall Smith's Assessment Report (dated December 18, 1994) contains a detailed map of the area around the mine, including the adit. Recent exploration of the mine has shown that the ceiling has collapsed and is now impassable in the adit beneath "Trench 5". An annotated copy of the map is available with the approximate location of the collapse indicated in red.

KMVP-FM

KMVP-FM (98.7 MHz) is a commercial radio station in Phoenix, Arizona, featuring a sports format branded as "98.7 FM Arizona's Sports Station". Local programming airs on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with ESPN Sports Radio heard nights and weekends. Owned by Salt Lake City–based Bonneville International, KMVP-FM's radio studios are on North 16th Street in Phoenix near Piestewa Peak, while the transmitter is in South Mountain Park.

Arizona Sports is the flagship station of the MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks, NBA's Phoenix Suns, the NFL's Arizona Cardinals and the Arizona State University Sun Devils football games.

KTAR-FM and KBBC
In July 1960, the station signed on as KTAR-FM, co-owned with KTAR and KTAR-TV (KPNX). KTAR-AM-FM mostly simulcast a middle of the road format of popular music, news and sports. In 1973, the FM station became KBBC, to distinguish it from sister station KTAR.

KBBC aired a beautiful music format of instrumental cover versions of popular adult songs, along with some Broadway and Hollywood show tunes. Over time, to stay youthful, KBBC added more soft vocals and reduced the instrumentals.

KKLT (98.7 K-Lite)
The station became one of the nation's pioneers of the "Soft Rock" format under the programming direction of J.D. Freeman who moved over from KNIX-FM afternoon drive. In 1982, the format evolved into soft adult contemporary music branded as "K-Lite."

To go with the K-Lite branding, the call sign was changed to KKLT. The staff included program director Marc McCoy and sales manager Ken Hoag. KKLT had to compete with KESZ for the Soft AC audience. As it lost ratings to its rival, KKLT gradually stepped up the tempo of its music to a more mainstream adult contemporary. Despite the changes, KESZ continued to dominate in audience share.

KPKX (98.7 The Peak)
On May 28, 2004, the format was changed to adult hits as "The Peak." The call letters were switched to KPKX on May 9, 2005. KPKX became one of the first stations in the U.S. to use the format, and the first not branded as "Jack FM" or "Bob FM". The first song on "The Peak" was "A Change Would Do You Good" by Sheryl Crow.

The Peak featured the voice of actor John O'Hurley as "Mr. Peakerman", a well meaning but bumbling station owner who more or less allows the staff to play "whatever they want". The station was the brainchild of programmer Joel Grey, with writing and creative imaging produced by John Hugill. Highly successful for Bonneville, it became the de facto flagship of other properties like 95.7 Max FM in San Francisco and 106.5 The Arch in St. Louis.

KMVP-FM (Arizona Sports 98.7)

At 10 a.m. on January 6, 2014, after playing All The Small Things by Blink-182, and a brief goodbye message from program manager Steve Douglas, KPKX flipped to simulcast sports radio-formatted KTAR. On January 9, 2014, KPKX changed its call sign to KMVP-FM. KTAR-FM was already on air, so 98.7 was unable to simply copy the AM callsign.

On July 10, 2014, Bonneville announced Arizona Sports would be exclusively heard on 98.7 FM, effective September 15. KTAR then began carrying ESPN Radio full time.

Programming
Dan Bickley and Vince Marotta host the morning drive time. Luke Lapinski and Ron Wolfley are heard in middays. Dave Burns and John Gambadoro are on in the afternoon. ESPN Radio is carried late nights and weekends.

Semi protection was added for a reason
Yes, we know he missed three field goals (one a 57 yarder) on Sunday, helping to cost his team the game. That is not a reason to add your version of juvenile humor. Blocks will be handed out.  Enigma msg  22:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Seond rookie to attempt game-winning playoff kick
Previously, the article stated "Kaeding became only the second rookie in NFL history to attempt a potential game-winning field goal in the playoffs in the 4th quarter or overtime." This was uncited, but a source was later found, and it appears to be a good-faith misrepresentation that he was trying to become the first rookie since Super Bowl V in the 1970 season to make a game-winning kick. Slightly different, in that he would have been the second kicker since SB V to make a kick, but who knows how many have attempted the kick. His retirement prompted one site to write the similar "He was the second rookie to attempt a game-winning kick in the playoffs". I would be wary that this is a WP:CIRCULAR reference back to a possible WP error. If the original wording was correct, a source that was written before the text was put into WP would be needed for verification.—Bagumba (talk) 21:22, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

SS Andrea Doria - Wreck image
I saw that you recently included an image of the wreck of Andrea Doria. Though I believe it is an excellent addition to the article, the questionable copyright on the image is raising some concerns, especially since I am thinking of nominating the article for FA. Can you confirm that the image is indeed fair use? Pentawing 05:40, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is ( I see this image is used in a lot of articles, so if it isn't in the Public Domain, it is Fair Use--Exir Kamalabadi | Contributions 06:12, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * In that case, can you give me some more information concerning the image so that the copyright tag can be modified accordingly? Thanks. Pentawing 21:02, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I saw it in a website about classic liners, and I also saw some identical (at least for me) images on other websites. The only thing I don't know is it's copyright status

Hello, just a quick note to express my gratitude for your support of my RfA. I'm sure I'll become a familiar face on places like the Administrator's Noticeboard and Requests for Adminship, as well as the murkier parts of my new job. "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." (Luke 12:48, NIV) Never was a truer word spoken. I feel empowered, yes, but not in the "oooh cool delete button!" way I was kind of expecting. Already I feel the weight of the responsibility I have now been entrusted with, a weight that will no doubt reduce given time. Thank you for believing in me. :) GarrettTalk 10:09, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Hello Exir Kamalabadi, the Charter for Esperanza is up. Take a looksie :) R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 02:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza made less bureaucratic
Hello again, I have (unilatterly) taken away the 'assembly' idea, as per my reasons at that edit summary and per Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Charter. I have left the admin general, as some leadership is good. Now, all you have to do is be a member to establish consensus, the whole assembly idea is gone. Also, I have added an advisory committee, of four members, with limited power besides watching over the admin general and making sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Please look at the ammended charter, and I would love a comment. R e  dwolf24  (talk) 00:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Dear Exir. Thanks very much for stub-sorting my DDR article. However, I feel it's not so much about electronics as about film making / video technology. Is there a category for this sort of thing? Many thanks Dan AKA Jack 25th Sept 2005 15:55 GMT

Spelling Error 2
There's a paragraph on your user page that reads "I used to just think of Wikipedia as an exeptionally good encyclopedia, but when I found out that I can edit almost any page inside this terrfic pool of knowledge, I was absolutly trilled. Imagine that! Just one simple edit and you might benefit thouthand or even millions of knowledge hungry people!" "terrfic" should be terrific, "absolutly" should be absolutely and "thouthand" should be thousand. Hope you don't mind me pointing this out. All the best, Vizjim 12:17, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Edit
I've taken advantage of your suggestion that visitors edit your userpage. Specifically, I removed two redundant public domain tags and the wikipedia logo; it was looking a little crowded, methinks. I've also corrected several spelling and grammer mistakes, and added a few contractions. I generally rewrote several parts to make the text flow better. I think it's much improved by those few changes, but feel free to revert any changes you disagree with. ^_^ --Pathoschild 22:48, 26 September 2005 (EST)

Ah, my first ever spam mass produced and mailed to the spamlist.

Metrowerks

Metrowerks was a company that developed software development tools for various desktop, handheld, embedded, and gaming platforms. Its flagship product, CodeWarrior, comprised an IDE, compilers, linkers, debuggers, libraries, and related tools. In 1999 it was acquired by Motorola and in 2005 it was spun-off as part of Freescale, which continues to sell these tools. In 2015, Freescale Semiconductor was absorbed into NXP.

History
Founded by Greg Galanos in 1985 as Metropolis Computer Networks in Hudson, Quebec, Metrowerks originally developed software development tools for the Apple Macintosh and UNIX workstations. Its first product was a Modula-2 compiler originally developed by Niklaus Wirth, the creator of the ALGOL W, Pascal and Modula-2 programming languages. It had limited success with this product. In 1992, it began an effort to develop development tools for Macintosh computers based on the newly announced PowerPC processor as well as legacy support for 68k chipsets. It shipped the first commercial release of CodeWarrior in May 1994 at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. The release was a great success. Metrowerks received much credit for helping Apple succeed in its risky transition to a new processor.

In March 1994 Metrowerks had its initial public offering, trading under the symbol MTWKF (NASDAQ foreign exchange) and continued to trade on Canadian exchanges. Also in 1994, Metrowerks opened a small sales and R&D office in Austin, Texas to be closer to the manufacturers of the new PowerPC chips, IBM and Motorola. Metrowerks later moved its corporate headquarters to Austin along with Greg Galanos (Founder/President/CTO) and Jean Belanger (Chairman/CEO).

By 1996 Metrowerks had begun expanding its CodeWarrior product line to target platforms besides Macintosh computers, including:

 * Mac OS PowerPC
 * Mac OS 68k
 * General Magic's Magic Cap OS
 * BeOS
 * Microsoft Windows x86
 * NEC v8xx, VRxxxx
 * General MIPS (ISA I-IV)
 * General PowerPC embedded
 * General 68k embedded
 * General Coldfire embedded
 * General ARM embedded
 * PlayStation, PS2 and PSP
 * Nintendo 64, GameCube, Nintendo DS and Wii
 * Sega Saturn
 * Java tools
 * Nokia SymbianOS (toolchain sold to Nokia in late 2004)
 * PalmPilot

In 1997, Metrowerks acquired the principal assets of The Latitude Group Inc., a software compatibility layer to port Macintosh applications to UNIX systems, with the intent to use it to port CodeWarrior to run on Solaris, and to extend it to facilitate porting MacOS software to Rhapsody. This will result in the creation of CodeWarrior Latitude.

In August 1999, Motorola's semiconductor sector (Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector, or SPS) acquired Metrowerks for roughly $100 million in cash. After the acquisition, Jean Belanger moved to become VP of business development in SPS and after a short stint as Director of Software Strategy for SPS, Greg Galanos left to become a General Partner and Managing Director at SOFTBANK Venture Capital, known as Mobius Venture Capital since December 2001. David Perkins, previously SVP of Business Development at Metrowerks, assumed the title of President and CEO. Metrowerks subsequently acquired a small number of other companies including HIWARE AG, Embedix and Applied Microsystems Corp. in November 2002 for US$40-Million. In 2002, David Perkins assumed the role of Corporate Vice President of NCSG at Motorola SPS; Jim Welch (previously the CFO of Metrowerks) assumed the role of CEO. In late 2003, Jim Welch left to become CEO of Wireless Valley Communications and Matthew R. Harris (who was previously CEO of Lineo and Embedix) became the new CEO of Metrowerks.

In 2003, Motorola spun off its semiconductor group as a separate company named Freescale Semiconductor.

In late 2004, Nokia purchased the SymbianOS development tools, including members of the engineering, for US$30-Million.

In early 2005, Matt Harris left Metrowerks to become CEO of Volantis at which time Freescale management decided to absorb Metrowerks completely and not treat it as a wholly owned subsidiary.

CodeWarrior for Mac OS had successfully made the transition to Apple's new Mac OS X operating system, supporting the Carbon development environment. However, Apple invested heavily in their own development tools for OS X (Xcode), distributed free of charge and always up to date. The increasing prominence of the Cocoa development environment marginalized CodeWarrior, and finally the surprise announcement of the Mac's switch to Intel processors – mere weeks after Freescale had sold the Metrowerks Intel compiler tools to Nokia – signalled the end of CodeWarrior on the Mac. In July 2005, Freescale discontinued CodeWarrior for Mac OS, as the same time it was also divesting from any tools targeting non-Freescale silicon.

In October 2005, Freescale retired the Metrowerks name but continues to develop CodeWarrior and other developer technologies as part of Freescale's Developer Technology Organization.

Metrowerks' logo of the iconic factory worker and other visual branding was created by illustrator Bill Russell

Addendum: Freescale's website now says, "CodeWarrior for Mac OS has been discontinued and is no longer sold or supported." It has several downloadable updates, but the most recent modification date is 15 August 2005.

CodeWarrior
Starting in 1994, CodeWarrior was the main product from Metrowerks. It was an Integrated Development Environment for Classic MacOS, that offered C/C++ and Pascal, targeting both 68k and PowerPC. Java support was added in 1996.

CodeWarrior for PalmPilot was the IDE in the early days of the device, limited to the C compiler with partial C++ support. Constructor for PalmPilot looked familiar to PowerPlant Constructor users.

CodeWarrior was the default toolchain for BeOS. Initially, developers on a BeBox could either use the command line tool provided, or cross-compile using the Macintosh IDE, until Metrowerks developed the BeIDE as part of CodeWarrior for BeOS.

Later CodeWarrior was ported to run on Windows for Win32 development (with MFC), and compilers started targeting embedded platforms.

Wellesley High School

Wellesley High School is a public high school in Wellesley, Massachusetts, United States, educating students on grades 9 through 12. The principal is Jamie Chisum, who took the position in 2014 after the departure of Andrew Keough. As of 2023, the school serves 1420 students. In 2022 it was ranked the 32nd best high school in Massachusetts and the 785th best public high school in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.

History and current state
The old school building of what was then named Gamaliel Bradford High School was originally built as a public works project in 1938 during the Great Depression, designed by Perry Shaw and Hepburn and built by M. Spinelli and Sons Co., Inc. The building has been modified with several additions throughout its existence, most recently with a new fitness center. The 1938 building was replaced in 2012 with a new building constructed in the former parking lot.

Renewal and expansion
The increasing size of the student body as well as the evolving nature of education challenged the capability of the 1938 building to meet the needs of the school community effectively and safely. In September 2005, the exploration of options for a new building or refurbishment was commenced by the town.

In October 2007, a public meeting was held to introduce several options for the expansion of the school, including renovation and extension of the existing building and its demolition and replacement by a completely new structure. The site was expanded by purchase of three adjacent properties in Seaver Street and transfer of publicly owned land.

On December 10, 2008, town voters approved the project by a nearly 2 to 1 ratio (5,026 YES to 2,869 NO), to build a new, state-of-the art high school on the parking lot next to the existing buildings. Site clearance started in August 2009 with the relocation of one house to a nearby site. Construction began March 2010 with an estimated completion date of September 2013. The new facility opened in February 2012, and the school held a gala to say goodbye to the old building, and alumni such as Billy Squier, Jane Curtin, and Biz Stone gave last rites in the school auditorium over a series of weekend concerts and get-together events in 2011.

After much analysis, the existing structure was declared to be a good example of the Art Deco style of architecture; however, it was found by the American Institute of Architects (A.I.A.) not to be a historically significant example and was demolished in 2011 and 2012. The state authorities held the final say in this ruling, but the A.I.A. review opened the door for the eventual knock-down and the final site plotting. The new structure, which opened to students in February 2012, incorporates some of the design features of the prior building and is limited in its visual impact to blend with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The total cost was estimated to be $130 million with $85 million of that total to be raised from State and Federal matching funds. However, the final project came in under budget at $90 million and opened 18 months ahead of schedule.

Governing bodies

 * Students: Student Congress
 * Teachers: Faculty Senate
 * Administrative: ATM
 * Legislative: School Council
 * Co-Moderator (Principal), Co-Moderator (Student)
 * For next year School Council has been changed to have eleven members: two teachers, four students, and three parents, a community member, and the Principal.
 * Two student representatives are elected in Student Congress, another is the president of Student Congress, and another is appointed.
 * District Wide: School Committee
 * Representatives to Greater Boston Regional Advisory Council to the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education

Extracurricular activities
Wellesley High School offers many after school clubs that are mostly run by students. Notable clubs include Student Congress, Academic Decathlon, the active Debate Club, Drama Society, the Key Club, Model UN, the Science Olympiad Team, the Math Team, the Climate Action Club, MVP Club and the many other cultural and humanitarian-focused clubs.
