Autherine Lucy

Autherine Juanita Lucy (October 5, 1929 – March 2, 2022) was an American activist who was the first African-American student to attend the University of Alabama, in 1956. Her expulsion from the institution later that year led to the university's President Oliver Carmichael's resignation. Years later, the University admitted her as a master's student and in 2010 a clock tower was erected in her honor on its campus.

Early life
Lucy was born in Shiloh, Alabama. Her father Milton Cornelius Lucy and mother Minnie Maud Hosea were sharecroppers; she was the youngest child in a family of five sons and four daughters. The family owned and farmed 110 acres, and Lucy's father also did blacksmithing, and made baskets and ax handles to supplement their income. After attending public school in Shiloh through grade ten, she attended Linden Academy in Linden, Alabama. She graduated in 1947, and went on to attend Selma University in Selma for two years, after which she studied at the historically black Miles College in Fairfield. She graduated from Miles with a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1952.

Desegregation of the University of Alabama
In September 1952, she and a friend, Pollie Myers, a civil-rights activist with the NAACP, applied to the University of Alabama. Lucy later said that she wanted a second undergraduate degree, not for political reasons but to get the best possible education in the state. Although the women were accepted, their admittance was rescinded when the authorities discovered they were not white. Backed by the NAACP, Lucy and Myers charged the University with racial discrimination in a court case that took almost three years to resolve. While waiting, Lucy worked as an English teacher in Carthage, Mississippi, and as a secretary at an insurance company. On June 29, 1955, the NAACP secured a court order preventing the University from rejecting the admission applications of Lucy and Myers (who had married and was then known as Pollie Myers Hudson) based upon their race. Lucy was finally admitted to the University but it rejected Hudson on the grounds that a child she had conceived before marriage made her an unsuitable student. Even though Lucy was officially admitted, she was still barred from all dormitories and dining halls. Days later, the court amended the order to apply to all other African-American students seeking admission. At least two sources have said that the board hoped that without Hudson, the more outgoing and assured of the pair and whose idea it originally was to enroll at Alabama, Lucy's own acceptance would mean little or nothing to her, and she would voluntarily decide not to attend. But Hudson and others strongly encouraged her, and on February 3, 1956, Lucy enrolled as a graduate student in library science, becoming the first African American ever admitted to a white public school or university in the state.

Lucy attended her first class on Friday, February 3, 1956. On Monday, February 6, 1956, riots broke out on the campus and a mob of more than a thousand men pelted the car in which the Dean of Women drove Lucy between classes. Threats were made against her life and the University president's home was stoned. The police were called to secure her attendance. These riots at the University were what was, to date, the most violent, post-Brown, anti-integration demonstration. After the riots, the University suspended Lucy from school because her own safety was a concern.

Martin Luther King Jr. wrote a sermon in 1956 about the events and it at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church the day before his trial for violating Alabama’s anti-boycott law:

"As soon as Autherine Lucy walked on the campus, a group of spoiled students lead [sic] by Leonard Wilson and a vicious group of criminals began threatening her on every hand. Crosses were burned. Eggs and bricks were thrown at her. The mob even jumped on top of the car in which she was riding. Finally the president and trustees of the university of Alabama asked Autherine to leave for her own safety and the safety of the university. The next day after Autherine was dismissed the paper came out with this headline: 'Things are quiet in Tuscaloosa today. There is peace on the campus of the university of Alabama.' Yes things were quiet in Tuscaloosa. yes there was peace on the campus, but it was peace at a great price. It was peace that had been purchased at the exorbitant price of an inept trustee board succoming [sic] to the whims and carprices [sic] of a vicious mob. It was peace that had been purchased at the price of allowing mobocracy to reign supreme over democracy."

Lucy was known and described as "the architect of desegregating Alabama's education systems." Thurgood Marshall helped win the 1954 landmark Supreme Court desegregation case, Brown v. Board of Education. The Brown decision said that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional (illegal). Marshall had a great amount of confidence that if the Supreme Court decided something, then the rest of the country would follow its decision. Attorneys for Lucy and the NAACP, including Arthur Shores and Marshall, helped build a lawsuit against the University because they believed the school helped the white mob by not having protection for her and prevented Lucy from attending class. A series of legal proceedings lasted from 1953 until 1955.

While Lucy felt defeated from being expelled and losing the court case, Marshall, who would become the first African-American Supreme Court Justice in 1967, thought differently. In a letter to Lucy, he said, "Whatever happens in the future, remember for all concerned, that your contribution has been made toward equal justice for all Americans and that you have done everything in your power to bring this about."

Lucy and the NAACP filed contempt-of-court charges against the trustees and president of the University; against the dean of women for barring her from the dining hall and dormitories, and against four other men (none connected to the University) for participating in the riots. On February 29, the Federal Court in Birmingham ordered that Lucy be reinstated and that the University must take adequate measures to protect her. The University trustees then expelled her permanently on a hastily contrived technicality. The University used the court case as a justification for her permanent expulsion, claiming that Lucy had slandered the University and they could not have her as a student. The NAACP, feeling that further legal action was pointless, did not contest this decision. Lucy acquiesced.

University President Oliver Carmichael resigned as a result of the trustees' opposition to Lucy's admission.

In April 1956, in Dallas, Lucy married Hugh Foster, a divinity student (and later a minister) whom she had met at Miles College. For some months afterward she was a civil rights advocate, making speeches at NAACP meetings around the country. But by the end of the year, her active involvement in the Civil Rights Movement had ceased.

Later life and death
After Lucy was expelled from the university, Marshall was so concerned about her safety that he brought her to New York to stay in his home with him and his wife, Cecilia. Lucy said later, "I just felt so secure with Mr. Marshall and his wife... How grateful I have been over all these years for the protection and the kindness he gave to me."

For the next seventeen years, Lucy and her family lived in various cities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Her notoriety made it difficult at first for her to find employment as a teacher. The Fosters moved back to Alabama in 1974, and Lucy obtained a position in the Birmingham school system.

In April 1988, Lucy's expulsion was officially annulled by the University of Alabama. She enrolled in the graduate program in Education the following year and received an M.A. degree in May 1992. The University named an endowed fellowship in her honor and unveiled a portrait of her in the student union. The inscription reads "Her initiative and courage won the right for students of all races to attend the University. She is a sister of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority."

Lucy died on March 2, 2022, at the age of 92. Her grandniece, Nikema Williams, is a member of the United States House of Representatives and chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia.

Legacy
On November 3, 2010, the Autherine Lucy Clock Tower was dedicated in a new space honoring her, Vivian Malone, and James Hood (the Malone-Hood Plaza)—three individuals who pioneered desegregation at the University of Alabama. The Plaza is located beside Foster Auditorium, where, in 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace unsuccessfully attempted to bar Malone and Hood from registering at the University. The 40 ft brick tower has a base displaying bronze plaques that chronicle the individual struggles of Lucy, Malone, and Hood. Additionally, on September 15, 2017, a special marker was erected in her honor near Graves Hall (home of the College of Education) on the UA campus. Lucy returned to speak at the ceremony and compared the crowd that welcomed her with the hatred she had encountered the first time she entered the university.

In May 2019, Lucy attended the University of Alabama's spring graduation, where the school presented her with an honorary doctorate.

Lucy's legacy continues at the University of Alabama with a $25,000 scholarship named after her and a picture of Lucy was put up at the university in 1992. On February 3, 2022, the university added Lucy's name to what was formerly Bibb Graves Hall, then changed to Lucy-Graves Hall. Following an outcry from students, faculty and the public about Lucy's name being placed alongside that of a former Klansman, UA trustees dropped Graves's name completely from the hall on February 11, 2022, renaming the building Autherine Lucy Hall.

Zhang Heng (Water Margin)

Zhang Heng is a fictional character in Water Margin, one of the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese literature. Nicknamed "Boatman", he ranks 28th among the 36 Heavenly Spirits, the first third of the 108 Stars of Destiny.

Background
The novel depicts Zhang Heng as seven chi tall and having triangle-shaped crimson eyes, yellow whiskers and red hair. He is an excellent swimmer who can survive under water in all weathers. Nicknamed "Boatman", he preys on travellers who take his boat thinking he is just a simple ferryman.

Zhang Heng and his younger brother Zhang Shun live at Jieyang Ridge (揭陽嶺; believed to be in present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi) near the Xunyang River. They use a trick to rob their boat passengers without taking lives. Zhang Shun would disguise himself as a passenger whom Zhang Heng would throw overboard when he pretends to defend his valuables. Zhang Shun would make it to shore while the other travellers are so frightened that they surrender all they have. Zhang Shun later moves to Jiangzhou alone (江州; present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi) where he becomes a fishmonger. Without his brother's collusion, Zhang Heng simply kills his passengers by knifing or drowning them.

Meeting Song Jiang
When Song Jiang is exiled to Jiangzhou (江州; present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi) as a mitigated sentence for killing his mistress Yan Poxi, he passes by Jieyang Town where he offends the Mu brothers (Mu Hong and Mu Chun) by giving money to street performer Xue Yong, who has neglected to pay respect to the Mus. After unknowingly finding accommodations at the house of the Mus thanks to the kindness of the brothers' father, Song and his two escorts have to sneak away when they realise they are close to danger. Pursued by the Mus, the three scramble on to the boat of Zhang Heng when they come to the bank of Xunyang River. Halfway across the waters, Zhang Heng draws out his knife and asks them whether they would rather be knifed or drowned. Just when the three are resigned to jumping into the river, Li Jun, whom Song Jiang has come to know only recently at Jieyang Ridge, passes by in his boat. Zhang Heng is shocked to learn that the exile is Song Jiang, who is well-known for chivalry. He apologises to him. The Mu brothers, lingering at the bank, are also sorry for the distress they caused him. They treat Song as an honoured guest before seeing him off to Jiangzhou.

Joining Liangshan
Song Jiang is arrested and sentenced to death for composing a seditious poem, which he wrote on the wall of a restaurant after getting drunk. The outlaws from Liangshan Marsh hurry to Jiangzhou, storming the execution grounds to rescue him and the chief warden Dai Zong, who is implicated for trying to rescue Song. After fleeing Jiangzhou, the group is stranded at a riverbank. Luckily, Zhang Heng and other friends of Song Jiang from the Jieyang region arrive in boats on their way to rescue him. Zhang Heng follows the band to Liangshan.

When Guan Sheng, by order of the Song court, leads an imperial force to stamp out Liangshan, Zhang Heng, who wants to score merit for himself, leads some men to raid his camp without informing other chieftains except Ruan Xiaoqi. He falls into Guan's trap and is captured. He is freed after Guan surrenders and joins Liangshan.

Campaigns and death
Zhang Heng is appointed as one of the commanders of Liangshan‘s flotilla after the 108 Stars of Destiny came together in what is called the Grand Assembly. Zhang Heng participates in the campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces on Song territory following amnesty from Emperor Huizong for Liangshan.

In the battle of Hangzhou in the campaign against Fang La, Zhang Shun tries to sneak into the city by climbing over the sluice gate of Yongjin. But he is killed by a hail of arrows when Fang Tianding, the son of Fang La, spots him. Zhang Shun's spirit possesses Zhang Heng's body and seeks out Fang Tianding whom he kills using the hand of his brother. Zhang Heng falls unconscious after the revenge. When he comes to, he is sad to learn of his brother's death that he falls sick and dies soon after.

Tourism in Melbourne

Tourism is a significant industry in the state of Victoria, Australia. The country's second most-populous city, Melbourne was visited by 2.7 million international overnight visitors and 9.3 million domestic overnight visitors during the year ending December 2017.

Often lauded as Australia's heart of culture, Melbourne's attractions include sporting events, art galleries, live music, festivals and fashion events that are popular with tourists and locals alike. Named the world's most liveable city from 2011 to 2017, Melbourne's culture and lifestyle have been increasingly promoted internationally, leading to average year-on-year growth of international visitors of 10% in the five years to 2017.

In its annual survey of readers, the Condé Nast Traveler magazine found that both Melbourne and Auckland were considered the world's friendliest cities in 2014. The magazine described the "wonderful sense of humour" of Melburnians, who live among public art and parks.

Popular sites
Melbourne's most popular tourist sites for fiscal year ending June 2018: Other notable sites:
 * Chinatown - the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the Western World and third oldest Chinatown in the world, features numerous restaurants, museums and cultural attractions.
 * Eureka Skydeck - the highest viewing platform in the southern hemisphere, located in Eureka Tower.
 * Luna Park - an amusement park located on the foreshore of Port Phillip Bay in St Kilda, an inner suburb of Melbourne. It has been operating since 1912.
 * Melbourne Aquarium - contains a variety of exhibits showcasing marine wildlife found in the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic.
 * Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre - built along Southbank in the 1990s as an update for the Royal Exhibition Building, it regularly hosts special conventions and exhibitions.
 * Melbourne Park - the home of the Australian Open tennis tournament, one of the four Grand Slams held every January.

 * Victorian Arts Centre - features a landmark spire, it hosts Opera Australia's Melbourne season, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Melbourne Theatre Company and the Australian Ballet Company.

Restaurants
Melbourne is known for its foodie culture and its abundance, variety and quality of restaurants. In part this is due to various waves of immigration and the multicultural fabric of the city. Major restaurant strips are located throughout the inner city and the inner suburbs, including:

 * Chinatown - featuring mainly Cantonese cuisine (and increasingly other Asian cuisines) and famous restaurants such as Flower Drum.
 * Lygon Street - Melbourne's Little Italy in the inner-northern suburb of Carlton, offers a selection of mainly Italian-influenced food.
 * Brunswick Street - in inner-suburban Fitzroy home to a bohemian community of students, artists, and poets with several live music venues, eclectic stores, accompanied by restaurants and cafes serving numerous cuisines.
 * Chapel Street - south of the city is a popular destination for fashionable clothes shopping, eating and entertainment. The long street contains commercial areas providing goods and services for local residents. Chapel Street intersects with Toorak Road, itself offering entertainment, food and shops.
 * Glenferrie Road - east of the city in the inner suburban Malvern has a wide mix of different cuisines including Indian, Malaysian, Thai and Japanese. The street intersects with High Street in Armadale which also has a mix of antique shops, cafes and restaurants.

 * Nelson Place - a waterside street in Williamstown known for weekend breakfasts, brunches and lunches.

Coffee Culture
Melbourne is also known as a coffee-obsessed city, with the flat white an Australian-invented favourite (though the flat white is believed to have originated in Sydney). The city's coffee culture is largely a result of Italian immigration, but has evolved into a local passion over time. It is often claimed that Pellegrini's Espresso Bar, on Bourke Street, was the first cafe to use the espresso machine in Melbourne. The city centre features a ubiquitous cafe culture, with high concentrations of cafés around a few famous alleys, including:

 * Block Arcade
 * Degraves Street
 * Hardware Lane

Many inner suburbs also feature streets famous for cafes, including:

 * Collingwood's Smith Street
 * Fitzroy's Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street and Johnson Street
 * Richmond's Bridge Road and Victoria Street

Bosentan

Bosentan, sold under the brand name Tracleer among others, is a dual endothelin receptor antagonist medication used in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH).

Bosentan is available as film-coated tablets (62.5 mg or 125 mg) or as dispersable tablets for oral suspension (32 mg).

Medical uses
Bosentan is used to treat people with moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension and to reduce the number of digital ulcers — open wounds on especially on fingertips and less commonly the knuckles — in people with systemic scleroderma.

Contraindications
Bosentan is contraindicated in people taking glyburide due to an increased risk of increased liver enzymes and liver damage when these two agents are taken together.

Use of bosentan with cyclosporine is contraindicated because cyclosporine A has been shown to markedly increase serum concentration of bosentan.

Adverse effects
Bosentan causes harm to fetuses (teratogenic) and it may render hormonal contraceptives ineffective.

In the US it is only available from doctors who follow an FDA-mandated risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) with respect to risks to fetuses and its risks of causing liver damage.

In addition to the risk of causing birth defects and of causing liver damage, bosentan has a high risk of causing edema, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, decreasing sperm counts, and decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit.

Very common adverse effects (occurring in more than 10% of people) include headache, elevated transaminases, and edema. Common adverse effects (between 1% and 10% of people) include anemia, reduced hemoglobin, hypersensitivity reactions, skin inflammation, itchiness, rashes, red skin, flushing, fainting, heart palpitations, low blood pressure, nasal congestion, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and diarrhea.

Drug interactions
Bosentan may render hormonal contraceptives ineffective.

Mechanism of action
Bosentan is a competitive antagonist of endothelin-1 at the endothelin-A (ET-A) and endothelin-B (ET-B) receptors. Under normal conditions, endothelin-1 binding of ET-A receptors causes constriction of the pulmonary blood vessels. Conversely, binding of endothelin-1 to ET-B receptors has been associated with both vasodilation and vasoconstriction of vascular smooth muscle, depending on the ET-B subtype (ET-B1 or ET-B2) and tissue. Bosentan blocks both ET-A and ET-B receptors, but is thought to exert a greater effect on ET-A receptors, causing a total decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance.

Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, maximum plasma concentrations of bosentan are attained within 3–5 hours and the terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) is about 5 hours in healthy adult subjects. The exposure to bosentan after intervenous and oral administration is about 2-fold greater in adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension than in healthy adult subjects.

Absolute bioavailability of bosentan is about 50% in healthy subjects. Peak plasma concentration of bosentan with the dispersable tablets for oral suspension is 14% less on average compared to peak concentration of the oral tablets.

Bosentan is a substrate of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. CYP2C19 may also play a role in its metabolism. It is also a substrate of the hepatic uptake transporter organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OATP2B1.

Elimination of bosentan is mostly hepatic, with minimal contribution from renal and fecal excretion.

Use of bosentan with cyclosporine is contraindicated because cyclosporine A has been shown to markedly increase serum concentration of bosentan.

History
Bosentan was studied in heart failure in a trial called REACH-1 that was terminated early in 1997, due to toxicity at the dose that was being studied.

It was approved for pulmonary artery hypertension in the US in November 2001, and in the European Union in May 2002.

Economics
By 2013, worldwide sales of bosentan were $1.57 billion. The patents on bosentan started expiring in 2015.

 * I think that the "criticism" section of this article should certainly be removed. Sure, criticism sections are common features, but this one is not notable nor is it even cited. To say that the CBC received "a flurry of emails from fans all across Canada" is absolutely absurd! Unless the author of that section personally checked CBC's email and looked up the home-town of those who sent those emails, there's no way that this should be included. Unless the alleged criticism can be cited, it should be removed. It looks utterly ridiculous being included in this article. Drbn (talk) 03:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia
If you guys want to dish critical opinions on Cole go to the CBC website.. This site is for factual information... I don't care if you praise him for being a homer either... that is all opinion and it does not belong on these articles. The media criticized Lemieux for being a floater.. especially Cherry but regardless of whether it is true or not... you can't conclude because that is one persons opinion. The same with Francophones.. why don't one of you go to Francophones and write "Criticism" section on how they are all chicken (bleeps) for wearing visors. You are all losing touch with the objective of the site. Hearsay and opinions are not facts. Don't want to sound like an ass but this isn't the place to practice writing editorials.

Pi Boötis

Pi Boötis, Latinized from π Boötis, is a probable triple star system in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.50. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.67 mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 310 light years from the Sun.

The brighter primary, component π1 Boötis, has a visual magnitude of 4.89 and a stellar classification of B9 IIIp (MnHgSi), which suggests it is an evolved blue-white hued B-type giant star. It is a chemically peculiar star of the HgMn type, with a spectrum that displays anomalous overabundances of mercury, manganese, and silicon. This component is most likely a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an unknown companion. Its magnitude 5.76 visible companion, π2 Boötis, is a white-hued A-type main-sequence star with a class of A6 V. As of 2010, the pair were separated by $−1.1$ arcseconds on the sky along a position angle of $3.49$. This corresponds to a projected separation of $3.2$. The odds that is a mere chance alignment is 0.85%.

Pi Boötis has the Chinese traditional star name 左攝提二 (Zuǒ shè tí èr)

Greater Southwest International Airport

Greater Southwest International Airport, originally Amon Carter Field (ACF), was the commercial airport serving Fort Worth, Texas, from 1953 until 1974. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport opened in 1974 a few miles north to replace Greater Southwest and Dallas Love Field as a single airport for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (though Love Field survives). The area is now a commercial/light-industrial park serving DFW International, centered along Amon Carter Boulevard, which follows the old north-south runway.

Early history
As far back as 1927 the cities of Fort Worth and Dallas had proposed a regional airport that would serve the entire metropolitan area. Initial plans did not come to fruition, and after World War II, Fort Worth decided to move the primary airline traffic from Meacham Field to a new facility, Amon Carter Field. Fort Worth annexed a finger of land to the east, extending the city limits to encompass the new site.

American, Braniff, Central, Continental, Delta, Eastern, Frontier, and Trans-Texas Airways operated from the airport, which had three paved runways and an elaborate terminal (with gold-plated murals). The airport never reached capacity and saw its traffic dwindle while traffic at Love Field in Dallas continued to grow.

The April 1957 OAG lists 97 scheduled departures a day Tuesday to Thursday, more than half to nearby Dallas Love Field. American Airlines had 30, Braniff 22, Trans-Texas 19, Continental 13, Delta 7 and Central 6.

On December 20, 1959, jet service began with American Airlines Boeing 707 flights to Los Angeles. Delta Air Lines later started Convair 880 jet nonstops to Los Angeles and New Orleans. Also in 1959, Continental Airlines was operating Vickers Viscount turboprop service from the airport nonstop to Abilene, Midland/Odessa, TX and Lubbock as well as direct, no change of plane Viscount flights to Albuquerque, El Paso, Santa Fe, NM and Clovis, NM.

In 1960, the airport was renamed Greater Southwest International Airport (GSW) in a failed attempt to attract passengers. In the same year, the city of Fort Worth purchased the airport.

In 1961, American Airlines was operating an eastbound multi-stop transcontinental flight with a Boeing 707 jetliner on a Los Angeles - Fort Worth - New Orleans - Miami routing in association with Delta Air Lines and National Airlines as an interchange transport hub service jointly operated by the three air carriers in addition to American flying a northbound service operated with a Douglas DC-6 propliner on a routing of Fort Worth - Dallas Love Field - Tulsa - St. Louis - Chicago Midway Airport - Detroit - Buffalo, NY. At this same time, American was also flying Lockheed L-188 Electra turboprop service on several routes from the airport including an eastbound service operating Fort Worth - Dallas Love Field - Washington D.C. National Airport - Philadelphia - New York City LaGuardia Airport as well as another eastbound flight operating Fort Worth - Little Rock - Memphis - New York City Idlewild Airport (now JFK Airport) - Hartford and also a northbound routing of Fort Worth - Dallas Love Field - Oklahoma City - Tulsa - St. Louis. The airline was also operating another multi-stop transcontinental flight at this time with a DC-6 operating an eastbound "milk run" routing of Los Angeles - San Diego - Phoenix - Tucson - El Paso - Fort Worth - Memphis, TN - Nashville - Knoxville - Washington D.C. National Airport - New York City LaGuardia Airport. In addition, American was operating Douglas DC-7 propliner service from the airport at this time as well including an eastbound flight operating Fort Worth - Dallas Love Field - Nashville - Louisville - Cincinnati - Columbus, OH - New York City Idlewild Airport.

Passenger service during the mid and late 1960s
Several airlines were continuing to serve Greater Southwest International Airport during the mid 1960s including American Airlines, Braniff International Airways, Central Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Eastern Airlines, and Trans-Texas Airways. According to the Official Airline Guide of May 1, 1964, all seven air carriers were operating flights to Dallas Love Field with a combined total of 22 flights per day each way.

American Airlines was operating Boeing 727-100 service into Greater Southwest twice a day with a westbound flight routing of New York LaGuardia Airport - Chicago O'Hare Airport - Fort Worth - El Paso - Los Angeles and an eastbound flight routing of Los Angeles - El Paso - Fort Worth - Oklahoma City.

Braniff International also flew nonstop service between GSW and Houston Hobby Airport operated with British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Eleven twinjets and Lockheed L-188 Electra turboprops. In 1968, Braniff International was operating a "milk run" flight serving the airport every weekday with a Lockheed L-188 Electra turboprop flying a westbound and then southbound routing of Memphis, TN - Little Rock, AR - Fort Smith, AR - Tulsa, OK - Dallas Love Field - Fort Worth - Houston Hobby Airport - Corpus Christi, TX.

Central Airlines, which was based in Fort Worth, was operating four departures per day from the airport in May of 1964 but by the summer of 1967, just one daily flight was flown with a Convair 600 turboprop on a round trip "milk run" routing of Fort Worth - Dallas Love Field - Fort Smith, AR - Fayetteville, AR - Joplin, MO - Kansas City, MO. By the fall of 1967, Central had been acquired by and merged into the original Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) which continued to operate just one departure a day from the airport on the same round trip "milk run" routing between Fort Worth and Kansas City flown with a Convair 580 turboprop.

Continental Airlines with nonstop Vickers Viscount turboprop service to Midland/Odessa, TX. By the late 1960s, Continental was operating Douglas DC-9-10 jet service into the airport with one flight each way on a Dallas Love Field - Fort Worth - Midland/Odessa - El Paso routing.

Delta was serving the airport during the mid 1960s with a Convair 440 twin prop "milk run" flight on a westbound routing of Charleston, SC - Columbia, SC - Atlanta - Columbus, GA - Montgomery, AL - Jackson, MS - Monroe, LA - Shreveport - Dallas Love Field - Fort Worth with this service then changing flight numbers at the airport and making the short hop back to Love Field.

Eastern Airlines with direct, no change of plane Boeing 727-100 jet service to New Orleans, Tampa and Orlando via a first stop at Dallas Love Field.

Trans-Texas Airways (TTa) was operating three daily departures from GSW in 1966 with nonstop service to Brownwood, TX and Dallas Love Field as well as direct one stop service to Austin, TX and San Angelo, TX flown with twin prop Convair 240 and Douglas DC-3 aircraft.

Decline and closure
In 1964 the Federal Aviation Administration, tired of funding separate airports for both Dallas and Fort Worth, announced that it would no longer support separate airports. The Civil Aeronautics Board required the two cities to come up with a plan for a regional airport, and in 1965 a parcel of land north of Greater Southwest was selected for Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (originally named Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport).

While airline traffic continued to increase at Dallas Love Field, the number of flights slumped at GSW. American Airlines, the last remaining air carrier, ceased operations at GSW at the end of 1968. Following the opening of DFW in 1974, GSW was permanently closed. The land once utilized by the airfield has since been repurposed.

Training flight operations
Following the cessation of all scheduled air carrier service in the late 1960s, the airfield continued to be used for airline training flights. On May 30, 1972, Delta Air Lines Flight 9570 crashed at Greater Southwest International Airport while performing "touch and go" training landings and take offs. The federal National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that wake turbulence from another training flight, an American Airlines DC-10 widebody jetliner, had caused the Delta DC-9-14 twin jet to lose control as it neared touchdown. As this was a training flight, only four people were on board Flight 9570: three crew and an FAA operations inspector. All were killed.

Redevelopment following closure
Following the closure of the airport, Runway 17/35 became Amon Carter Boulevard for several years before it was torn up and replaced with an actual street. a small section of the taxiway and run-up area of Runway 18 still exists on the north side of State Highway 183. American Airlines expanded its headquarters to new buildings on the airport site during the 1980s and 1990s (the airline's former hangar had remained in use as a reservations center for several years before it was demolished). The airport's IATA airport code, GSW, is still in use by the American Airlines Flight Academy, which sits across State Highway 360 from the airport site.

Rho Boötis

Rho Boötis, Latinised from ρ Boötis, is a single, orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.59. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 160 ly from Earth. It is moving toward the Sun with a radial velocity of −13.6 km/s. There is an optical companion, a magnitude 11.5 star, located 34.7 arcseconds away along a position angle of 345° (as of 2013).

This is an evolved K-type giant star, currently on the red-giant branch, with a stellar classification of K4 III and an estimated age of 10 billion years. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified. It has around 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 22 times the Sun's girth. The star is radiating 132 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of about $−13.57$. Rho Boötis is classified as a RS Canum Venaticorum variable. Koen and Eyer examined the Hipparcos data for this star, and found that it varied with a period of 5.214 days, and an amplitude of 0.0027 magnitudes.

Nomenclature
Rho Boötis is known by several different names, including ρ Boo, 25 Boötis, BD+31° 2628, FK5 534, HD 127665, HIP 71053, HR 5429, and SAO 64202. In Chinese, 梗河 (Gěng Hé), meaning Celestial Lance, refers to an asterism consisting of ρ Boötis, ε Boötis and σ Boötis. Consequently, the Chinese name for ρ Boötis itself is 梗河三 (Gěng Hé sān, the Third Star of Celestial Lance).

Talk:Ten High

I removed the following: "It is fairly smooth, with little aftertaste, and is widely considered to be quite drinkable." This is little more than someone's opinion. Were it to come with a citation to some sort of bourbon fancier's magazine, then I would not object. Sixtus LXVI 05:54, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I removed the following: "Sold for $10.25 a liter in the Midwest, this Kentucky 'Sour Mash' blends well with Coke or Sour Mix. It can also be handled straight for a throwback to the 19th century whiskey-barrel family reunions where 'Ten High' gained its original slice of the market." This is unecessary and uniformative, and, furthermore, sounds like it was copied off of a Ten High advertisement. Sixtus LXVI 01:35, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I removed "Ten High can be very abrasive when taken straight, and is best served mixed." -- Librarianofages 02:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Woburn Gifted
Christoper, thanks for the message on my talk page. I guess I was being overzealous and you were right to pull the Speedy on Woburn Gifted. Nevertheless, the article does not assert any real importance to the subject, nor does it even provide the location of the school to which the department is supposedly connected. It is, though, full of nonsense including the fact that many students “go on to prestigious post-secondary learning institutions such as... Hidden Leaf Village” and that a “giant snake” has been known to protect the school from Gamabunta's wrath. The teachers named in the article are all Naruto characters and the author 24.101.82.247 is a repeat vandal of the Woburn Collegiate Institute page. What are your suggestions? Should it be merged into that page? --JJay 12:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Rousseau
Your edit of my commentary on Rousseau (which I did as an anon, before I became a user), placing it as a footnote, was clearly a better way to handle the material than the way I had done it. As you said, it was too long for an intro. But my concern in dropping it to a mere footnote is that the ramifications of the various interpretations of the statement will be lost to most readers. I guess I would like them reading the rest of the article with that perspective in mind.

Might there be a middle ground? Do you think the point could be made elsewhere in the body of the article? I ask you as one who has clearly been doing this much longer than I. Unschool 20:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Woodroffe Avenue
The version of "08:34, 24 September 2005" (which is 5 days prior to the AfD close, and 2 days before the last AfD comment) is practically word for word identical with the most current version available, except for the addition of one short (2-3 sentance) paragrpah at the very end, plus three cited references. I have done a detailed comparison of these two versions. I honestly do not think current version can be described as "much enhanced" over the 24 Sept 05 version. There seem to have been several edits during the AfD, and the version near the end of the AfD may have been significantly enhanceds over the one at the start, but people voting well after this version was posted still voted to delete, so i think we have to take it that a version essentially identical to the current one was deleted by AfD. Please reconsider your VfU vote in light of these facts. DES (talk) 20:12, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

About you
Chris, I've been meaning to come by and say this for a while. You do a great job around the wiki, both as an editor and more generally as a contributor. I've been a fan of you federalist contribs for a while, and have secretly been hoping that you'll write an entire series of detailed articles on the lot :). Especially #51, which is too important to be a one para stub. I don't consider myself sufficiently knowledgeable about them to write well on them, but am very happy to cheer from the sidelines. I did make a couple of edits to the refs in one, I think 10, recently, one of which I note you disapproved of; I understand the view, although I do believe a mutually acceptable method of writing that section is possible. I intend to get to it in some weeks when free of the professional duties currently preventing my usual level of involvement on WP. Anyway, this is just a note of thanks and encouragement for the work you do. Regards enceph  alon  05:19, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Chris. By the way, why in God's green earth aren't you an admin yet? I presume you've no use for sysop, and have indicated so in the past? If not, please let me know: I'll be more than happy to nominate you (or drop suitable hints to a better-known or longer-serving editor, should you understandably prefer one) :) Lewt me know, k? enceph  alon  11:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your vote, and HDI discussion underway ...
Hello! I hope you're well. I'd like to thank you for participating in the vote earlier to include the HDI in the country infobox/template. Yay!

After a lengthy gestation, a discussion piece has been prepared to help give form to the vote. If you've a preference for how and where this information should appear in the infobox, I'd appreciate it if you head on over there and comment. :)

After a decision is arrived at, if at all, I'm also hopeful to prevail upon you to add the values (if you're willing and comfortable) for a handful of countries; the more people doing it, the less time it will take to implement the vote and realise the fruits of our collective labour.

Hey Christopher,

Evans and I are buddies, and we kind of goof on each others pages. You can see mine as an example. As such, I'm not really vandalizing, and I really don't want to get into an edit war over it. So, if you think it's still inappropriate, or whatnot, just tell me on my talk page, I guess? Thank you. --ParkerHiggins 05:00, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup
Thanks for your vote of support on my nomination to become an administrator, Christopher. I passed, and my floor rag has since been bestowed upon me. Please let me know if you need me to help with anything in particular! —BrianSmithson 16:16, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you
Just wanted to drop by and thank you for taking the time to respond to my RfA. I really appreciate the comments! .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 16:07, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi!
Thank you for the informatino!

Problem with Zora, as i see it: She is arrogant, stubborn and a bigot.

Arrogant: She always thinks she is right, even if i bring ten sources to the opposit, and she haves zero sources for her claim.

stubborn: even if proven wrong, she does not care, she keeps doing it.

bigot: She is not capable of seeing how the other thinks.

Yes Zora, i do hope you are reading this. (She also stalks me).

Anyhow, thanks for leting me know. --Striver 03:56, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Christopherparham, I am now an administrator and would like to thank you for your support on my RfA. I was very surprised at the number of votes and amount of and kind comments that I gathered. Your comments indicate that you think I'm unlikely to abuse my powers, but please don't hesitate to contact me if I mess up in their use. --GraemeL (talk) 14:41, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you!
Hi Christopherparham, Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! If I can ever help with anything or if you have any comments about my actions as an admin, please let me know! Regards, Joann e B 14:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Ray's afro
Well, the line "Ray can be easily recognized by his large afro." may seem insulting to him! I am a close friend of his, and I don't think he'd like that. He's very proud of his afro, but I don't think he'd be too fond of you talking about it and putting it in his little biography...

Hi, Christopher. I just want to thank you very much for supporting my RfA, and to say also that I hope I'll make a good job of it. I'm supposed to be working on an assignment at the moment, and had delayed thanking people, but I'm finding the new rollback button so easy to use that I'm just keeping Wikipedia open on my browser while working on other things, and I thought I'd like to thank at least a few of my supporters while I'm here.

Thanks for your vote on the Dictators AfD
I am now on vacation and can't really use the web much, so I can't keep an eye on the process.
 * Clearly there is no grounds to delete the article based on NPOV considerations - since if there are at least some dictators (some users deny this is NPOV by the way), they can be listed.
 * 172's reason for deletion is that it is OR to classify someone as a dictator. (Clearly a willful distortion and utterly fatuous.)  Even if you accept his take on OR, the same logic as above applies - if at least some people can be described as dictators without violating OR (a position which even he concedes), there can be a list.  If 172 was behaving rigorously, he would have changed his vote to keep when he conceded that even in the terms of his take on OR, some people can be described as dictators.
 * The other argument used by some is that it is hard to classify some people, clearly no ground for deletion of the article.
 * By my count, there are 25 "deletes" and "19 Keeps". Of those "deletes" it appears that 13 were spammed by 172 prior to voting - often with obsequious comments attached.
 * 172 has refused to materially defend his take on NOR in terms of any criteria in WP:NOR even abrasively deleting a query from a newbie on the subject in his talk page. Is it possible to get some official clarification on the NOR policy before this becomes a precedent? jucifer 02:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * sorry about the duplication, I don't know why that happened.jucifer 02:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Compensating variation & wage gap
You rephrased and removed my linking to wage gap in your compensating variation article example comparing different jobs across the same group of workers. I totally agree with that- that example wasn't refering to the same idea(wage gap is not used to refer to a wage difference between jobs). However, I think compensating variation can also be used to explain wage gaps; I've added a new paragraph to the article on how. Message me if you disagree. =) Intangir 20:13, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, I've reworded the paragraph to be more careful with the semantics. BTW, | here is where I got the inspiration for the motherhood example. I think that when that paper refers to the wage gap they aren't thinking of a strict 'equal labor' definition, but more of a 'seemingly equal labor' definition. Intangir 01:21, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Military Keynesianism
I'm not sure how to request more information, so hopefully this gets somewhere. I wanted to get some sources that discuss the basic definition of military Keynesianism. Thanks.

 * This from User:152.163.100.201, reply also posted at their talk.

 * Hi! That was actually the first article I wrote, so it's not super clear or sourced. The term is usually used by those on the left to descibe the sort of policies discussed in the article. The concept was developed by Michael Kalecki during WWII, in the paper "The Political Aspects of Full Employment." Getting hold of this paper from a library would be a good source to start with. Online sources are harder to come by, but a Google search might provide something helpful. Google Scholar also points to a number of other papers that could help you out. Hope this helps...

Wikipedia talk:No personal attacks/njyoder's poll

It would appear there is no actual consensus on this rule. Even some of those who voted support made explicit exceptions to the rule. The issue of defining the difference between "personal attacks" and criticism of the behavior of users has been left undefined. The "no personal attacks" article itself doesn't address this issue.

So far this equates to nothing more than a way for admins to abuse power, since anything that can be construed as a criticism of behavior can be considered a "personal attack." It also leaves admins the ability to ignore personal attacks as they please and even engage in them themselves. Without mandatory blocking on every personal attack, then it becomes an issue of biased lack of enforcement.

I'm holding a re-vote to clarify exactly where everyone stands to see if there is a consensus. Note, this is using the all encompassing definition of personal attacks that even includes describing someone's behavior as trolling.

Nathan J. Yoder 23:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

User:Snowspinner tried completely removing this section this the edit summary "revert bullshit." I hope this vandalism doesn't go unpunished. Snowspinner is the same person who, just a week or so ago, had also personally attacked me by accusing me of meglomania. Nathan J. Yoder 12:42, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * WTF are you trying to do here, exactly? You're trying to make it look like WP:NPA is some sort of contentious topic when it is one of the very few rules basically the entire wikipedia community is completly behind. And then you start a survey, without any prior discussion whatsoever? Please review Survey guidelines. I am 100% behind Snowspinner in this, he did the smart thing (and I would do the same, although I have no doubt you'd just put your comment back, so what would be the point) gkhan 14:00, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Of course it is, have you read all the debate on this talk page? Have you even looked at the above votes on this? The "entire wikipedia community" is not behind this. As I specifically said, even some of the support votes explicitly make exceptions. That's simply not a consensus. If you want to ignore the facts, fine, but don't think that will help your case. It seems to me that you're just trying to censor this survey because you're afraid of what the results would be. And if you notice, those are just guidelines, not policy, that page itself says "These are not binding in any way."

I am simply making survey options based on what has already been discussed here and in other places on Wikipedia. So there has been discussion regarding disagreement over this policy, just not for creation of a new survey (which isn't even necessary to create one).

Snowspinner blatantly violated Wikipedia policy by removing my comment, it's not appropriate, regardless of whether or not agrees with what I've said. If you removed it, you'd be in violation too. Nathan J. Yoder 14:30, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Support with exceptions

Support without exceptions

Oppose completely
 * 1) Too much room for abuse, as stated above.  And for reasons stated, sometimes shaming out trolls and zealots who are part of a clique can be a good thing.  Nathan J. Yoder 23:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Support mandatory enforcement (Vote assuming the policy is currently in action)
 * 1) If the rule must exist, then it should be enforced across the board, without exception.  Nathan J. Yoder 23:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose mandatory enforcement

This poll is invalid
 * 1) Consensus has been reached (long, long ago), no prior discussion, completly invalid poll. Voting is evil. gkhan 14:00, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Market neutral

An investment strategy or portfolio is considered market-neutral if it seeks to avoid some form of market risk entirely, typically by hedging. To evaluate market neutrality requires specifying the risk to avoid. For example, convertible arbitrage attempts to fully hedge fluctuations in the price of the underlying common stock. A portfolio is truly market-neutral if it exhibits zero correlation with the unwanted source of risk. Market neutrality is an ideal, which is seldom possible in practice. A portfolio that appears market-neutral may exhibit unexpected correlations as market conditions change. The risk of this occurring is called basis risk.

Equity-market-neutral
Equity-market-neutral is a hedge fund strategy that seeks to exploit investment opportunities unique to some specific group of stocks while maintaining a neutral exposure to broad groups of stocks defined, for example, by sector, industry, market capitalization, country, or region.

The strategy holds long/short equity positions, with long positions hedged with short positions in the same and related sectors so that the equity-market-neutral investor should be little affected by sector-wide events. These positions, in essence, a bet that the long positions will outperform their sectors (or the short positions will underperform) regardless of the strength of the sectors. Equity-market-neutral strategy occupies a distinct place in the hedge fund landscape by exhibiting one of the lowest correlations with other alternative strategies.

Evaluating the Hedge Fund Research index returns for 28 different strategies from January 2005 to April 2009 showed that equity-market-neutral strategy had the second-lowest correlation with any of the other strategies, behind only short-bias funds that typically have a negative correlation with all other funds. This result is not surprising given that each fund utilizes the unique insights of a manager, and these insights are not replicated across funds.

Examples of market-neutral strategies

 * Delta neutral
 * Pairs trade

Zhang Qing (Gardener)

Zhang Qing is a fictional character in Water Margin, one of the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese literature. Nicknamed "Gardener", he ranks 102nd among the 108 Stars of Destiny and 66th among the 72 Earthly Fiends.

Background
The novel depicts Zhang Qing as odd-looking with some hair on his face. He works as a gardener of a monastery in his native city of Mengzhou. One day, following a heated quarrel, he kills the monks in a fit of anger and burns down the monastery. He flees to the Cross Slope (十字坡; at the intersection of present-day Shen County, Shandong and Fan County, Henan) where he robs passers-by. One day, he sets upon an elderly man who comes by. After fighting and defeating him, the man takes him to his home and teaches him martial arts. He even marries his daughter Sun Erniang to him.

After his father-in-law died, Zhang Qing settles with his wife at Cross Slope where they run an inn. They knock out customers with drugged wine, take their valuables and butcher them to make filling in buns with their flesh. Although he is brutal, Zhang has advised his wife not to kill three sorts of people, namely, exiles as many among them are heroes; monks as they are lead an ascetic life; and prostitutes because they suffer many abuses. But Sun does not always follow his advice and may kill anyone according to her whims.

Meeting Lu Zhishen
When Lu Zhishen passes by Cross Slope after leaving the imperial capital Dongjing to escape arrest by Grand Marshal Gao Qiu for thwarting his plan to murder Lin Chong, he eats in Sun Erniang's inn and is knocked out. Just when Sun is about to butcher the monk, Zhang Qing returns in time and stops her noticing Lu's unusual appearance. After reviving Lu and determining his identity, Zhang Qing suggests that he seek refuge with the outlaw band led by Deng Long at Mount Twin Dragons. Deng, however, blocks Lu‘s way to the stronghold. Lu kills and replaces him after getting into it with a ruse.

Encounters with Wu Song
Later Wu Song, exiled to Mengzhou for killing his sister-in-law and her adulterer lover Ximen Qing to avenge their murder of his brother, also comes by Cross Slope on his way and eats in Sun Erniang's inn. Sensing that Sun is up to no good, Wu pretends to fall unconscious just like his two escorts after having a few cups. But Sun's helpers could not lift him as Wu controls his breath to make himself heavy as iron. So Sun comes up to do the work herself. But Wu surprises her when he uses a grappling hold to pin her down. Just then Zhang Qing comes back and stops the scuffle. The couple apologise upon learning the fellow is the tiger slayer Wu Song. The couple treat Wu as an honoured guest until he leaves for Mengzhou.

After being framed for theft and nearly murdered in Mengzhou, Wu Song kills Inspector Zhang Mengfang, Instructor Zhang and Jiang the Door God, who were behind the schemes. He also massacres the family of Inspector Zhang. On his run Wu Song is seized while sleeping in a temple by some men of Zhang Qing. He is released when Zhang recognises him. Sun Erniang proposes that Wu join Lu Zhishen at Mount Twin Dragons. Sun had earlier, in a rash act, butchered an untonsured Buddhist priest, who left behind a Buddhist robe, a pair of swords, a necklace of skulls and a head band. Sun suggests that Wu dress himself up with these articles to look like an itinerant priest with his hair let down to cover the tattoo mark of an exile on his face, Wu thus travels safely to Mount Twin Dragons. Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing later also wind up their business and joins the stronghold.

After his defeat by the bandits of Liangshan Marsh in his military attack to exterminate them, the imperial general Huyan Zhuo flees to Qingzhou (in present-day Shandong) in hopes of redeeming himself by wiping out the bandits there. Mount Twin Dragons, one of the strongholds, concludes that Huyan is a tough opponent and seeks help from Liangshan. Song Jiang comes to Qingzhou with a force and captures Huyan. The bandits of Mount Twin Dragons, including Zhang Qing and his wife, are absorbed into Liangshan.

Campaigns and death
Zhang Qing and his wife are put in charge of an inn which acts as a lookout for Liangshan after the 108 Stars of Destiny came together in what is called the Grand Assembly. He participates in the campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces in Song territory following amnesty from Emperor Huizong for Liangshan.

Zhang Qing is killed in the battle of Shezhou in the campaign against Fang La.

Sigma Boötis

Sigma Boötis, its name Latinized from σ Boötis, is a single star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It has a yellow-white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.46. Located to the southeast of Rho Boötis, the dwarf Sigma may at first appear as a naked-eye double, but the angular proximity with Rho is merely line-of-sight. Sigma Boötis is located at a distance of 51.1 light years from the Sun based on parallax. The star has a relatively high proper motion and is traversing the sky at the rate of $0.37$ yr−1.

The stellar classification of Sigma Boötis is F4VkF2mF1. This notation is used for so-called "metal-weak" stars, Am stars with absorption lines of some metals weaker than expected in comparison with other spectral features. The 'F4V', indicating an F-type main-sequence star, is derived from the hydrogen spectral lines and the shape of the metallic lines, the 'kF2' meaning it has the Calcium K line strength of an F2 star and 'mF1' showing it has the metallic line strength of an F1 star. It is around twice as luminous as a comparable zero age main sequence star, which may indicate it is near the end of its main sequence lifetime.

Sigma Boötis is a solar-type star but is larger and more massive than the Sun. It has an estimated age of around two to three billion years and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 7 km/s. There is some evidence of variation in radial velocity as well as rotational modulation of active latitudes. Even though the outer convective zone of the star only occupies a few percent of the stellar radius, a surface magnetic field has been detected with a strength of $1.48 solar mass$. The star is radiating 3.5 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,594 K. It appears to be a source for X-ray emission.

Infrared surveys with the Spitzer and Herschel space telescopes failed to detect an infrared excess around this star at wavelengths up to $1.431$. However, the HOSTS Survey with the Large Binocular Telescope reported a detection of an excess in the far infrared, indicating the presence of exozodiacal dust near the habitable zone of the star.

Nomenclature
Sigma Boötis is known by several different names, including σ Boo, 28 Boötis, BD+30°2536, GC 19659, GJ 557, HD 128167, HIP 71284, HR 5447, SAO 83416, and CCDM 14347+2945.

Chinese name
In Chinese, 梗河 (Gěng Hé), meaning Celestial Lance, refers to an asterism consisting of σ Boötis, ε Boötis and ρ Boötis. Consequently, the Chinese name for σ Boötis itself is 梗河二 (Gěng Hé èr, the Second Star of Celestial Lance.)

Can anyone confirm for certain, the exact date this album was released? Most sources say 1991, but none of those lists a specific date. The album's Amazon.com entry lists February 21, 1992 as the release date. My guess would be the copyright on the album says 1991, and maybe it was pressed/printed toward the end of the year, but the actual release was delayed until Feb. of 92. Going on that assumption, and because Amazon is the only place that lists a specific date rather than just a year, I'll go ahead and edit it. If anyone has information to the contrary, please feel free to fix it. -- K1darkknight 16:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Amazon.com, eh? Um, here's the real story: it was released in Canada in late 1991, and in the United States in early 1992. Canadian albums aren't always released concurrently in both countries. And for what it's worth, the RPM charts indicate that the Barenaked Ladies cover of "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" had already hit its peak chart position and was sliding back out of the Top 40 by February 21. I can assure you that its release as a single didn't predate the album; while their cult was certainly bubbling under the surface, BNL weren't yet a big enough name to be a pre-release teaser single for a compilation album.

Upsilon Boötis

Upsilon Boötis (υ Boötis) is a single, orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Boötes. It is a fourth magnitude star that is visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.38 mas as seen from the Earth, it is located about 263 light years from the Sun. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −6 km/s.

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K5.5 III. Astroseismology was used to obtain a mass estimate of 1.11 times the mass of the Sun, while interferometric measurements give a size of about 38 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating about 332 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,920 K.

Chi Boötis

Chi Boötis, Latinised as χ Boötis, is a single, white-hued star in the northern constellation Boötes, near the eastern constellation border with Corona Borealis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.3. Based upon an annual parallax shift of $5.307$ as seen from the Earth, it is located about 251 light-years from the Sun. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −16 km/s.

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V, which indicates it is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core. It is about 340 million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 84 km/s. The star has double the mass of the Sun, 2.24 times the Sun's radius, and is emitting 37 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around $−16.0$. It displays an infrared excess at an emission temperature of 65 K, indicating there is a circumstellar disk of dust orbiting the star at a distance of around $9,268$.
