Franklin Stubbs

Franklin Lee Stubbs (born October 21, 1960) is an American former professional baseball player who was in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1984 to 1995. Stubbs played on four MLB teams in that time. His best season came in 1990 with the Houston Astros. Stubbs entered coaching after retiring as a player.

College career
Stubbs played college baseball at Virginia Tech through his junior season in 1982. In 1981, he was an All-American, hitting 29 home runs. His accomplishments earned him a place in the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame.

Los Angeles Dodgers
Stubbs was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1st round of the 1982 MLB Draft out of Virginia Tech. He played with the Albuquerque Dukes in the Pacific Coast League from 1983 to 1985.

Stubbs made his Major League debut as the starting first baseman for the Dodgers on April 28, 1984, against the San Diego Padres. He was 0 for 4 with 2 strikeouts in his debut. His first hit was a triple off Kent Tekulve of the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 5 and his first home run was off Charles Hudson of the Philadelphia Phillies on May 14.

Playing for the Dodgers in 1987, Stubbs had 885 total chances and made only 5 errors for a .994 fielding percentage, leading the National League. Stubbs was a member of the Dodgers team that won the 1988 World Series. He batted .294 with 2 doubles in the World Series.

He played with the Dodgers through 1989, hitting .227 with 59 home runs and 178 RBI in 542 games.

Houston Astros
Stubbs was traded on April 1, 1990, to the Houston Astros for 26-year-old rookie Terry Wells. The trade was made after Stubbs had spent the entire prior season as a backup, having lost his starting role to Eddie Murray. He had a career year as the Astros first baseman in 1990 with 23 home runs and 71 runs batted in.

Milwaukee Brewers
He signed as a free agent with the Milwaukee Brewers before the 1991 season. In 2 seasons in Milwaukee he hit .220 in 195 games.

Boston Red Sox
He signed as a free agent with the Montreal Expos on February 22, 1993, but was released at the end of spring training on March 29. He then signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox on May 11. He spent the 1993 season in AAA with the Pawtucket Red Sox, hitting .237 in 94 games.

Mexican League
He spent the 1994 season in the Mexican League with the Leones de Yucatán and Charros de Jalisco.

Detroit Tigers
He signed a minor league contract with the Detroit Tigers on December 20, 1994, and made the Major League roster as a reserve outfielder and pinch hitter. In 62 games, he hit .250 for the Tigers. He retired as a player following the season.

Coaching
Stubbs joined the Atlanta Braves organization in 1997 as hitting coach for the Danville Braves in 1997 and the Danville 97s in 1998. He was the Braves minor league hitting coordinator from 1999 to 2002. After two more seasons as a roving hitting instructor for the Braves he returned to the dugout as a coach for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans from 2005 to 2006 and the Mississippi Braves from 2007 to 2008.

Stubbs left the Braves organization in 2009 to become the hitting coach for the Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino in the Dodgers organization in 2009–2010. He was promoted to the AA Chattanooga Lookouts in 2011-12 and became the hitting coach for the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Dodgers in 2013. When the Dodgers moved their affiliate to the Oklahoma City Dodgers in 2015, Stubbs remained with the organization as the hitting coach. He was let go by the Dodgers after the 2015 season.

In 2016, Stubbs became the hitting coach for the Missoula Osprey, the Rookie League affiliate for the Arizona Diamondbacks. A year later, he was promoted to hitting coach of the Hillsboro Hops, the Arizona Diamondbacks Class A Advanced affiliate.

Organic Chemistry/Analytical techniques/Chromatography

Chromatography involves the physical separation of a mixture of compounds. Chromatography can be used as a purification method but also sees wide use for the identification of compounds based on their chromatographic behavior.

=Theory=

There are many variations of chromatography, but all involve the dissolution of an analyte into a fluid known as the mobile phase and the passage of this fluid solution across a stationary phase, often a solid or liquid-coated solid.

As the mobile phase comes into contact with the stationary phase, some of the analyte molecules dissolve or adsorb onto the mobile phase. The more the molecules of that substance are retained, the slower their progress through the chromatographic apparatus. Different substances will then move through at different rates, ideally resulting in distinctly identifiable retention times for each substance.

Commonly used chromatographic techniques are identified through the nature of the stationary and mobile phases used, the method for passing the mobile phase through the apparatus, and how separated components are identified.

=Paper chromatography=

In paper chromatography the stationary phase is a specialized paper made to absorb water to a high level. The mobile phase is usually water or a concentrated salt solution. Paper chromatography has many uses in forensic chemistry due to it's simplicity and availability. However, paper chromatography is limited by the characteristics that only water soluble components can be separated and inaccuracy in RF values. This makes paper chromatography mostly useful to distinguish the differences between two residues rather than their similarities.

=Thin layer chromatography=

In thin layer chromatography (TLC) a plastic or glass plate is coated with the stationary phase, often alumina, silica, or alkylated silica. The analyte is dissolved in a quick-drying solvent and spotted near the bottom of the plate. The edge of the plate beneath the spot or spots is then dipped and left in a solution of the mobile phase, either an organic solvent or aqueous solution (depending on the nature of the analyte and stationary phase). Capillary action is then allowed to draw the solvent front through the spotted analyte, carrying with it and in the process separating out the analyte's components.

=Gas chromatography=

In gas chromatography (GC) the analyte and mobile phase must both be gases or be readily introduced into the gas phase by heating. The mobile phase gas must be inert and not reacting with the sample to be analysed. Examples of inert gases are helium and nitrogen gas; while not as inert as helium and nitrogen, hydrogen may also be used.

The gases are passed through a long, narrow (and most often, coiled) tube either packed with a porous stationary phase or whose inner walls are coated with a stationary phase, and the analyte components are detected as they emerge from the far end of the tube. The tube is commonly known as GC column.

Often a time-varying temperature gradient, from lower temperature to higher temperature, is applied to the tube. This first allows the analyte components to partition into the stationary phase and then, as the temperature rises, to differentially force them back into the mobile phase.

Common detectors for gas chromatography are flame ionization detector (FID), electron capture detector (ECD) and mass spectrometry (MS). Different types of sample analysis would require the use of a different type of detectors.

=Column chromatography=

Column chromatography, like gas chromatography, uses a tube packed with a stationary phase, but the mobile phase is a liquid instead of a gas (It is sometimes known as liquid chromatography or LC). Instead of temperature gradients, a gradient in the composition of the liquid phase can be used to separate components.

Column chromatography can be performed on larger molecules which may not be readily introduced into the gas phase. On the other hand, because of the increased viscosity of liquids compared with gases, liquid chromatography can be a more ponderous process. HPLC (variously high-pressure liquid chromatography or high-performance liquid chromatography) speeds the process and improves its selectivity and sensitivity to a significant degree by forcing the mobile phase through the chromatographic column with high-pressure pumps.

=Detection methods=

The root of the word chromatography, chroma (Greek khrōma, color) and grafein is "to write", indicates that the separated components in some forms of the technique can be identified by their color alone. But chromatography has now long been performed on colorless compounds that can be identified in other ways.

Analyte components on thin-layer chromatography plates are often identified under ultraviolet light, or by chemical staining in, for example, an iodine chamber or potassium permanganate. Gas chromatographic analytes are detected by changes in the ionization levels of a flame at the output end of the column or by changes in the electrical conductivity of the gas mixture at the end of the column. Liquid chromatography fractions are often analyzed through spectrophotometric techniques, notably UV-visible spectroscopy. When separation with GC or LC is performed in tandem with mass spectrometry (the "hyphenated" techniques of GC-MS and LC-MS), masses of individual fractions are rapidly determined. These methods are frequently employed in analytical and forensic science.

Unsolved problems in neuroscience

Some of the yet unsolved problems of neuroscience include:
 * (Self-)Awareness: What is the neuronal basis of subjective experience, wakefulness, alertness, arousal and attention? What is its function?
 * Perception: How does the brain transfer sensory information into coherent, private percepts? What are the rules by which perception is organized? What are the features/objects that constitute our perceptual experience of internal and external events? How are the senses integrated? Is face perception special (e.g. inert)? What is the relationship between subjective experience and the physical world?
 * Learning and Memory: Where do our memories get stored and how are they retrieved again? How can learning be improved? What is the difference between explicit and implicit memories? How plastic is the mature brain?
 * Development: How and why did the brain evolve (the way it did)? What are the molecular determinants of individual brain development?
 * Sleep: What is the function of sleep? Why do we dream? What are the underlying brain mechanisms? What is its relation to anesthesia?
 * Cognition and Decisions: How and where does the brain evaluate reward value and effort (cost) to modulate behavior? How does previous experience alter perception and behavior? What are the genetic and environmental contributions to brain function?
 * Language: How is it implemented neurally? What is the basis of semantic meaning?
 * Diseases: What are the neural bases (causes) of mental diseases like psychotic disorders (e.g. mania, schizophrenia), Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease or addiction? Is it possible to recover loss of sensory or motor function?

Cookbook:Broccoli

Broccoli is a member of the brassica family, like cauliflower and cabbage.

Characteristics
The part of the plant we eat is actually an undeveloped flower head with many tiny flower buds crowded onto it. The most common type of broccoli—calabrese broccoli—is green. Purple sprouting broccoli has a purple tinge to the heads and is finer and leafier than the smaller-headed calabrese. As its name suggests, it is harvested closer to its sprouting stage, making it softer and bendier. A less common variety is the white sprouting broccoli, which behaves much like its purple brother. When left to grow, broccoli heads turn a bright yellow.

Seasonality
The calabrese broccoli season starts slowly in the summer, and peaks in the autumn.

Purple and white sprouting broccoli have their seasons in the late winter, making them ideal for bridging the gap between the winter and spring vegetables.

Out of season broccoli can be imported from countries near the equator. It is sometimes available frozen.

Selection and storage
When buying broccoli, look for clean stems that are not dry or split. When buying sprouting broccoli, the stalks should bend flexibly without breaking. Broccoli with yellow buds should be avoided, as this is a clear indication that the broccoli is old. Broccoli is best when kept in the fridge no longer than a few days.

Preparation
The thick broccoli stem is usually cut off, but it is edible and tastes the same as the florets. However, its outside is rather fibrous and must be trimmed or peeled to get to the tender core. Slicing crosswise into thin disks is another option to shorten tougher fibers.

Use
Broccoli can be prepared in a variety of ways, ranging from raw to lightly cooked, roasted, or slow-cooked. Many people prefer it lightly blanched or cooked more thoroughly. When overcooked, it takes on a yellow-brown cast and becomes mushy. Properly cooked broccoli is very bright green, having lost the bluish cast of raw broccoli but without any hint of a yellow-brown cast.

Because it only needs light cooking, broccoli is usually added to recipes near the end of the cooking time, and it is ideal for stir-frying or steaming. When roasting, a thin coating of oil is useful to prevent drying out and burning, and cooking at high temperature (425°F / 220°C) yields a crisped exterior. Alternatively, broccoli can be braised or stewed slowly for a long time.

The stem can be chopped or finely sliced and used in casseroles because it withstands more cooking than the florets. It also goes well in stir-fry as if it were a different vegetable from the flower buds. Stems can also commonly be seen in grocery stores in matchstick or julienne form, packaged as broccoli slaw.

Unlike the calabrese, purple sprouting broccoli can cooked whole, with leaves and stem attached.

 * Delete The author admits this was his own creation and if this was a notable cartoon Google or Yahoo would turn up SOME trace of it or where it was published. This does not meet the guidelines for importance even if the author feels it does. If the website is under construction and this was a NOTABLE cartoon, it would have turned up a trace of it regardless of website status as Google and Yahoo bots find pages over a period of time, not right away.

Talk:Spanish/OASOs comments

I just checked the lessons and I have a couple of suggestions, tips, comments, and whatnot, well, a lot of them. I hope they to help you to improve the quality of this wikibook and your knowledge of the Spanish language. Here they are:

Introduction:

 * DONE "requirement" is misspelled. It has G instead of Q.
 * DONE (at least started: Pronouncing Spanish words --Karl Wick) Before the currently available lessons, I think the reader should receive an introduction of the Spanish phonetics and pronunciation (there's a lot to be explained here: the right pronunciation of the consonants G, H, J, L, LL, Q, R, RR, Ñ), as well as the Spanish alphabet and writing system, and of course, the use of the accent.
 * After a few lessons there should be another lesson about the syllabic separation of the words, as it's very important for the correct spelling and pronunciation. Until this lesson, every polisyllabic word in Spanish that doesn't have accent should be written like "esto está en español" to let the reader know where to stress the word.
 * After some more lessons, or as an appendix, there could be a section where the reader becomes a listener and hears the different accents of Spanish in the world: The Spanish, The Mexican, The Argentinian, etc.
 * I notice that only lesson 1 has dialogs. Why? The other lessons should have dialogs too. Everybody loves them! Now, seriously, I think dialogs are at least as useful as all the grammatic descriptions, as they put everything in practice.
 * A spanish translation of ALL the english text could be an interesting thing to do, but it might make the pages too overloaded.
 * Also I see some mix of Spanish-styled Spanish and American-styled Spanish. This is noticeable in the use of the second person pronouns. I propose to define a standard, so the book looks more homogeneous. If I'm not wrong, here are three main Spanish styles: The Mexican-like (tú, ustedes), the Argentinian-like (vos, ustedes), and the Spanish-like (tú, vosotros). I propose the Mexican-like one, as it's probably the most used (from the USA Latino communities to somewhere by Bolivia, I think). This is only for the dialogs and the examples. The verb conjugation for all styles should be described, even if that means a headache for the reader. An alternative could be to include all the examples in the three styles, so European people can get used to the Spanish Spanish, and Argentinian don't feel despised.

Lesson 1:

 * DONE I'm not sure about the name Gonzales. In Spanish there is freedom when it comes to names, and there's probably some people called Gonzales, and I'm doubtful about the correctness of the word. I think a better word is González, which is also the name of a place in México.
 * DONE I'm more sure about this one: The last name Pérez has accent in the first E.
 * DONE I think it's a good idea to give also literal translations, so the reader knows what is he/she really saying. For example, the expression Encantado actually means (I'm) Charmed, and Me llamo... means I'm called....
 * In the personal pronouns section, you could add the pronoun vos. It's for the 2 person singular, and it's used in 2 ways:
 * the informal one: It's used a lot in Argentina, Chile, etc. I think it's used much more than tú or usted there. The conjugation is the same as with vosotros but removing the I before the last S, and, if it has more than one syllable, add an accent to the last vowel. Example: "Who are you" -> ¿Quién sos vos? This pronoun is also used a lot here in Guatemala, but it's used only among boys, young men, and between them and their close relatives (a boy and his mother, etc.). It's almost never used by girls, or when a boy talks to a girl, unless she's his sister or if they're really, really close (grew together, etc.). I use it with my mother, father and sisters, but not with my grandparents. It's not used in Spain.
 * The formal one: The conjugation is exactly the same as vosotros. Example: "Who are you?" -> ¿Quién sois vos?, with "I". This one is never used in America, unless someone's doing a play of old, old times, and it probably sounds as old as "thou" and "thee" sound at least in American English. I don't know about its usage in Spain.
 * DONE Also in the personal pronouns section: You could explain about the difference between the article el and the pronoun él, so readers don't confuse the two words.
 * One more thing: ustedes is probably formal only in Spain. The pronouns vosotros(as) aren't used at all here in Guatemala, and very probably, in all of America.
 * DONE In the grammar section, the verb to be translates to 3 different verbs(!): "ser", "estar", "haber". The last one is used where in English you say there is/are, in Spanish you say "hay". Example: There's a fly in my soup! -> ¡Hay una mosca en mi sopa!.

Lesson 2:

Vocabulary-Colors: the adjective naranja, gris, marrón, púrpura, verde also don't change when describing a noun (anaranjado and morado do). I think that it can be explained in the section "Grammar III - Matching Adjectives". Also la naranja means "the orange" and la mora means "the blackberry", so literally anaranjado = "orange-like" and morado = "blackberry like".
 * Gender of nouns: I think it's a good idea to explain that genders belong to the nouns, not to the objects. A common mistake is that people think that because a noun has a masculine article, the object denoted by the noun has some kind of masculine properties, which is false, of course. Then they don't get why both el camino and la vereda mean "the way" and have different articles.
 * Also I see the word "caballo" in the examples, but the pronunciation guide is after the lessons in the index, and it doesn't mention that LL in Spanish sounds similar to the consonant Y in English. I've heard more than one people from the USA pronouncing llama (flame) as lah mah where it should be more like yah mah.
 * The definite article: please don't forget the article "lo", which is used to "convert" adjectives into nouns.
 * DONE The indefinite article: the title has a wrong formating. It has 3 "=" before and 4 after it, so it can't be wikified.
 * In the examples, Son unos boletos caros: In the real world one usually omits the word unos, however, it's fine as an example.
 * Nationalities: The nationalities are both, adjectives and nouns. So in the examples, el hombre mexicano = el mexicano, etc. However, when using a nationality as noun, you only mean people, not animals or objects. Also often when people say el hombre mexicano or any other nationality, they mean all the people of the country.
 * DONE Also, in Spanish the word americano means from the continent of America, not the USA. This is because in Spanish USA is abbreviated as Estados Unidos (United States), so the nationality is estadounidense, and it applies to masculine and feminine nouns without changing: el hombre estadounidense, la mujer estadounidense.

Lesson 3:

 * ¿Qué hacéis por la noche? sounds like a Spanish speaker. An American speaker would say: ¿Qué hacen por la noche?, or since he's talking about the future, ¿Qué harán por la noche? for American, and ¿Qué haréis por la noche? for Spanish.
 * DONE Mañana practico el tenis. - The article el is usually dropped in this case, just like in English.
 * In the vocabulary, the article is missing in the English part, la noche means the night, not just night alone. Same goes for next lessons.
 * The verb hacer and the weather: the verb haber can be used the same way (hace buen tiempo = hay buen tiempo). The expression Hace fresco doesn't sound right. This is because the words tiempo, frío, calor, sol, viento are nouns, but fresco is an adjetive that means "at a lower temperature than usual". It's also a noun in America (el fresco or el refresco), but then it means "a cold drink". The phrases literally mean "It's making..." or It makes and are similar to when one says "It's raining" (nobody rains, or "makes the wind", but it's only an expression).

Lesson 4:

 * DONE seguir also means "to continue". volver also means "to turn".

Lesson 5:

 * Tú eres de México. -> Eres de México. It's unusual to mention the pronoun here, as eres implies tú.
 * ¿Eres tú de México?  -> ¿Eres de México? It's even more unusual here.
 * ¿Cómo...? = How...?; ¿Qué...?' = What...? This explains ¿Por qué...?'': For what (reason)...?
 * ¿Cómo te llamas? can also mean "How are you called?"
 * Alberto estudia tanto como Felicitas. - ¿Felicitas? Now that's a really, really weird name!
 * Superlatives: Spanish uses el X más Y for "the most Y X" and el X menos Y for "the least Y X", not only más and menos. más literally means "more", and menos means "less".
 * Plutón es el planeta menos grande del sistema solar literally means "Pluto is the least big planet in the solar system".
 * In Guatemala, el colegio and el instituto both mean "school" (primary or secondary). The difference is that mostly all the colegios are private and institutos are public, even though is possible nowadays to find institutos privados, that is "private schools".
 * la mar is often used in poems, but in a conversation, el mar is used.
 * pesado sounds like a localism. The international meaning of the word is heavy.
 * I don't know if the adjectives that describe persons with learning difficulties are constructive in this book (estúpido [stupid], tonto [dumb]).

Lesson 6

 * I think it will be necessary to remember here that even though the word me in Spanish is written just like "me" in English, and both mean the same, they sound very different.
 * The tables of pronouns should have the pronouns in Spanish, at least to disambiguate the pronouns "you".
 * The example Te compro una bicicleta, te la compro. is, in particular, somewhat ambiguous. It can mean I buy you a bike, I buy it for you but it can also mean I buy it to/from you.
 * el desayuno literally means "to put an end to the fast (and start eating)". It comes from the noun el ayuno, that means "the fast" (not to eat).
 * DONE comer means internationally to eat.
 * DONE Another word for "banana" is el banano.
 * It may be time to remember the correct pronunciation of the word zanahoria too.

Lesson 7

 * There are a lot of words in Spanish that are very similar to their English counterparts. By including them in the vocabulary list, it will be easier to the reader to learn more words. So...
 * There's another word for "the closet" and it is... el closet! :)
 * Another word for "the refrigerator" is el refrigerador.
 * el plato also means "the dish", so lavaplatos = lavar (to wash) + plato (dish).
 * That's right, sartén is feminine. Some other tricky words are el agua (the water) and el arma (the weapon).

Lesson 8

 * Here's the command conjugation for the formal (Spanish Spanish) vos pronoun, as well as for vosotros and vosotras:
 * hablar: hablad
 * comer: comed
 * pedir: pedid
 * dar: dad
 * estar: estad
 * ir: id
 * saber: sabed
 * ser: sed (not to be mistaken with sed (thirst))
 * And for the informal (American Spanish) vos pronoun; it's similar to the Spanish Spanish form, but you drop the last "D" and put an accent in the last vocal. Remember that this is only for America:
 * hablar: hablá
 * comer: comé
 * pedir: pedí
 * decir: decí
 * hacer: hacé
 * ir: (Does not exist as far as I know, or is not used (What could it be?í?). The verb used is andar (to go, walk, to ride, to function [a machine]), and conjugates andá)
 * poner: poné
 * salir: salí
 * ser: sé
 * tener: tené
 * venir: vení
 * Now some corrections:
 * decir, negative: no digas
 * hacer, negative: no hagas
 * poner, negative: no pongas
 * salir, negative: no salgas
 * ser, negative: no seas
 * tener, negative: no tengas
 * venir, negative: no vengas
 * In the medical attention: "the doctor" = el doctor.
 * The end of the vocabulary can be:
 * el pie = the foot
 * los pies = the feet
 * el dedo = the finger
 * los dedos = the fingers
 * los dedos de los pies = the toes
 * so the reader makes the asociation :).

Lesson 9

 * It's better if you include:
 * la radio = the radio station
 * el radio = the radio receiver/the radius (geometry, chemistry)

Wow OASO! Thanks a lot for the huge amount of suggestions - I guess it will take me a while to go through all this :), but once it is all included the Wikibook will definitely be of a much higher quality. Again, feel free and encouraged to make changes right away this is more efficient (but I am very glad for your writeup here since I'll be able to learn a lot from it). Thanks! Thomas Strohmann

 * el desayuno literally means "to put an end to the fast (and start eating)". It comes from the noun el ayuno, that means "the fast" (not to eat).
 * I though the english word breakfast had exaclty the same etymology, so to have breakfast would mean to break the fast. All the other comments are great, when I have some time i'll try to make the corrections listed here that are not yet done. <IP_ADDRESS> 6 July 2005 13:46 (UTC)

Portal talk:Fire and Emergency Management

Just dipping in. This sounds really interesting, Michael (et al?), and I'd like to stay in touch with how it goes. I think, though, there needs to be some contact information, like 'who we are' on this page (well, the content page) so people can get quick info about the project from the people involved - just usernames, not necessarily phone numbers etc. All the best with the project's progress. Cormaggio 13:46, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement. Didn't realize I had not put that information. Added it to the Who's Who... musta gotten too caught up with getting things going. Any insight or help you could suggest would be great. --Mfinney 17:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Page naming
In order to be consistent with the rest of wikibooks, the pages in this book should all start with "Wikiversity:School of Fire and Emergency Management/". I'd like to suggest renaming them so that they do. Hopefully this is an uncontroversial proposal, and, as there is a bot able to do the work for us to move pages, restore all links that might be broken and remove unnecessary redirects, there should be no additional effort for the authors of this book, or any problems inserted. However, I note this proposal here first in case there are any comments from others, Jguk 09:30, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Support
 * 1) sounds reasonable to me. Shaggorama 09:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 *  Weakly Oppose  Support
 * 1) Let me do some research on one component of that. Some of the courses can be used as online classes, such as the Leadership I. I wanted this to be open for other training centers and departments to use whether they were working with the Wikiversity school or not. --mfinney 14:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) OK. There's no hurry - maybe if I let you have a fortnight before anything happens. One way of allowing the same module to be used by different wikibooks would be to have a page transcluding a module into another book. For example, suppose the module Alpha/Yankee in the Alpha wikibook was also relevant to the wikibook Beta. Then we could have a module Beta/Yankee that has as its text , Jguk 16:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Fire Service Online Encyclopedia
Greetings everyone. Wow. This has really moved along since I last saw this. I wanted to let you know I am starting a fire service wiki. It is still in the very early stages, but anyone that would like to get involved, go to this link | Fire Service Wiki. The link will be changing to its on address once we come up with a name for it. Some real hardcore (or passive) wiki addicts are needed to get this going.

emergency services vs. emergency management
Hello,

I think we need to user either one or the other or both. I do not classify emergency management as emergency services as is done in: "Today's fire and emergency services"

Let me know what you think --Ndstate 23:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

My feeling is that the two are converging... incidents that were traditionally emergency management or emergency services are quickly becoming one in the same. With that in mind, understand that my background is in emergency services (fire service to be exact). The intent of the school was to meet a broader group understanding that the convergence is slowly taking place. Do not hesitate (as I would consider it an honor) if you would expand that portion of the school. Make any needed changes to reflect that. --Mfinney

imported pages
There are some Fire and Emergency Management-related pages in the Transwiki pseudo-namespace that have been imported from Wikibooks and need to be re-named (if useful) or maybe merged into other existing main namespace pages. If any of these imported Fire and Emergency Management-related pages are useless, list them at Requests for Deletion. --JWS 22:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Sahana - ICT for Diasaster Management
Hi all,

I come from an emergency management background in New Zealand. I look forward to contributing to the School over the coming weeks and months. My first suggestion is for an external link to be added to the school's front page: http://www.sahana.lk/ Sahana is an free and open-source disaster management tool. It's been successfully deployed to several disasters, including the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. It's now a mature application and from what the mailinglists have been saying, the developers think they're close to linking it to the iPhone 3G and OpenMoko --TimClicks 11:05, 7 August 2008 (UTC) Cheers!
 * Your contributions are most welcomed! You can add anything (what is for GFDL) without asking. Thank you for the effort! --Gbaor 11:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've been using Wikipedia for a while, this is my first real experience with Wikiversity. From reading through the History section, it looks as though this school has been largely abandoned for several months.. --TimClicks 11:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's, true. Unfortunately there is quite many similarly abandoned places here, but I think is gets better lately. Anyway... Probably you won't have many "co-workers" in the near future, so try to focus on one thing at time. If you think the project is good enough, you can propose it to be featured --Gbaor 11:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

article does not assert the subject's notability  Wh e  re  (talk)  Let's debate to get consensus on T1 04:13, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Though very little info is provided on him (bio, prior head coaching positions), he is the head men's basketball coach at a Division I school in a major conference, and has had success (one Final Four appearance). This would be considered noteworthy IMHO.  We simply need more Wikipedians to expand the article (photo, other info). <IP_ADDRESS> 17:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree, we could have the expand tag on the page and make efforts to expand and apply notability to the page. I'm sure that there is some importance behind this page. Shawn 04:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. While the article, of course, needs to be expanded, it is, I think, settled that coaches of "high-profile" sports teams at major U.S. universities are notable, whatever one may now think about that determination (see, e.g., Steve Alford, Dick Bennett, Bo Ryan, and Billy Donovan, to list four).  Joe 04:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep' as clearly notable. ProhibitOnions 13:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep; even in its most primitive form, the article asserted notability, and tagging an article-in-progress on an obviously notable subject one minute after it was created should be treated as obvious vandalism.
 * Comment Even as I believe the article, in its first iteration, to have been sufficiently clear as to the notability of the subject (at least to an American user), I can't abide the suggestion that to have nominated the article for deletion was to have committed vandalism. Nominations for deletion, generally, I think, inamsuch as they abide by process, are not to be considered vandalism; to make a suggestion to the Wikipedia community as to the proper disposition of an article and to await the reaching of a consensus by the community writ large seems nearly diametrically opposite to vandalism.  Moreover, notwithstanding that I think the provisios as to what is vandalism are too exclusive (they do, of course, seem to reflect a consensus of users, though), the "What vandalism is not" section of WP:VAN would surely seem to include such tasks as tagging an article for deletion under the (mistaken) belief that its subject is non-notable.  Finally, I don't think that the tagging of an article one minute after its creation is anything about which to be upset; whilst one may think it best for him/her to wait for an article to develop, surely such waiting is not necessary and can be counterproductive (non-notable bios, hoaxes, etc., quickly disappear from "new pages" and are picked up by Wikipedia mirror sites, incentivizing the creation of such pages).  The worst-case scenario, of course, in this case, would have been that, in the absence of an expanded article, the Barnes article was deleted; someone might easily have recreated it, then, and simply added information sufficient to establish notability on the first edit.

Talk:David Cox (statistician)

Category of Bayesian statistician?
I added Cox as to the category "Bayesian statisticians".

Sir David R. Cox calls himself a (ardent?) "Bayesian" in his oral criticism of Lindsey's "Statistical Heresies" (JRSS D, The Statistician, c. 2000). (He also calls himself a "Neyman-Pearsonian", in his fine display of personal integrity and charity, which meets the very high traditions of academic and British fair play, I shall add as a personal observation.)

In his review of "Statistical Inference Theory" in the Biometrica 2000 (100th anniversary issue), Cox's student Anthony C. Davison notes that accountants identify Cox as a Bayesian statistician!

Being a member of the Bayesian category need not exclude Cox from being influenced by Neyman-Pearson or the later writings of Fisher, of course. Feel free to add Cox to other categories! Thanks, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 00:49, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure Sir David's philosophy fits easily into either camp. Maybe we need a new category "Coxian statisticians", or perhaps the somewhat broader "Neo-Fisherian synthesizers"... If I ran a cluster analysis I think i'd be worried if it didn't place him in the same cluster as John Nelder (there are approximately two kinds of statisticians: those who dichotomise everything, those who don't, and those who let the data decide). You may have just spurred me into starting rereading my copy of Principles of Statistical Inference over the weekend... Qwfp (talk) 09:19, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Dear Qwfp, I was adding Cox when I was adding other Bayesian statisticians (BS) to the new category of BS. I wanted to draw other editors' notice to this addition, because Cox is generally regarded as neoFisherian, and unenthusiastic about some aspects of the Bayesian revival (or the "pop"-Bayesianism modeling that downgrades Bayesian/personal probability). I don't have objections to Cox being removed from the category (despite his affirmation and Davison's good-humored notice).
 * I would agree that Cox is more of a neo-Fisherian (model-based) --- while Oskar Kempthorne is more of a "paleoFisherian" (or rather a Peircian, as he acknowledged later in life; c.f. Hacking). Cox does discuss the randomization analysis of paleoFisherians in the last chapter of his principles, I believe. (Some discussion of randomization appears also in his book on asymptotic statistical theory with Barndorff Nielsen.)
 * His "principles" book does aim at breaking down barriers (and was written with concern about some of his followers' enthusiasms for pigeon-holing "schools" --- e.g. Lindsey's "heresies" --- and mindful of the harmful effects of partisan divisions e.g. between the followers of Newton & Leibniz)) I note
 * BTW, I only have the draft version of Cox's Principles (which was used in Wermuth & Sundberg's seminars in Sweden, as noted in the preface). I was unable to find Melcombe's reference (or referand) about a discussion of "confidence distribution" (sic.), which Melcombe referenced in the article on fiducial distribution (sic., imho).
 * Thanks again, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 16:32, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If we wanted a directly applicable category for David Cox, it would be "pragmatic statistician", but we might have trouble finding anyone else to join that category. If we wanted "Bayesian statistician" to be someone who expounds Bayesianism to the exclusion of everything else, then David Cox wouldn't be included, but if we wanted it to mean someone who was prepared to use it when it provides a useful answer, then he would. This PDF might be of interest. Anf of course he did have (1978) "Foundations of Statistical Inference: the case for eclecticism", J. Australian Statist. Soc, 20, 43.
 * As for "confidence distribution", there is no difficulty with this, since it is even listed in the index of Cox's Principles of Statistical Inference (page 66, start of Section 5.3). A full version of the book is well worth the price.
 * And as for the accountancy application, I believe the exposition of it was set out in such a way that a frequentist interpretation was readily available, and possibly slightly dominant. But that may just have been my reading of it ... it was long ago.
 * Melcombe (talk) 10:16, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the majority of the practising statisticians i know would describe themselves as "pragmatic" or "eclectic" if asked, though i guess it might be harder to find notable ones who have specifically exposed it as a philosophy in reliable sources (Chris Chatfield would be one exception, though it seems we don't have an article on him... currently). Qwfp (talk) 13:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I would suggest that "eclectic" or "pluralist" (or "ecumenical" or "post-Wald") would be good names.
 * I would agree that a corrupt use of "pragmatic" (following William James) is unfortunately commonly used improperly; Peirce invented "pragmaticism" to distinguish his viable pragmatism from James's confusing jumble. However, it would be improper to use "pragmatic" to describe Cox, because (imho) Cox's neo-Fisherian writings seem lacksadaisical about the precepts of Charles Sanders Peirce. Peirce insisted upon the Baconian precept that hypothesis-tests be carried out following a protocol, to prevent the most common & important "fallacy in inductive reasoning", stating the hypothesis after finding a pattern in a data set (and failing to test that data-generated hypothesis). (Bacon's arguments were based on social psychology while Peirce's were based on probability/statistics.) From my reading of Cox, following his collaboration with Barndorff-Nielsen and in his recent Principles, I cannot remember any discussion of the Baconian distinction --- that it matters whether the "statistical model" and "inference" follow a prescribed protocol or not (e.g. when a client gave us a data set which we tried to explore, perhaps with heuristic use of confidence intervals and hypothesis testing).
 * Additionally, Cox has much less emphasis on using design-based analysis (rather than assuming models for populations, following the post-Neyman Fisher) than would be consistent with orthodox pragmatism, following Peirce (who seems to have pioneered randomization particularly in randomized experiments).
 * (On the other hand, at times, Peirce was willing to use "likelihoods" as in the quotes in the likelihood function article.)
 * I shall put Cox's Principles on my Jultide list! Thanks! Sincerely, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 19:19, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Following the above discussion, I removed Cox from the Bayesian category. I suggest that categories "Bayesian" or "neo-Fisherian" should be populated only when there are external sources calling the statistician Bayesian or neo-Fisherian, along with the subject calling himself Bayesian. Because almost every statistician uses Bayesian statistics sometimes or likelihood methods as well as sampling-theory methods, it doesn't seem useful to start an eclectic category. Thanks for the discussion. Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 12:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. The Bayesian statistician category was started because someone thought it worthwhile placing the article about someone directly in the Bayesian statistics category, which is not appropriate for a topic category. If someone finds a need to add a person-article to some other topic category, some new category can be invented. But quite a few people-articles had "Bayesian statistician" in them. Melcombe (talk) 12:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Question
Could I please be included in the list of PhD students? Perhaps as Anthony C Atkinson to save any confusion with Anthony B. Atkinson, David Cox's successor as Warden of Nuffield.

I didn't see how to edit the list directly.

Anthony Atkinson <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:13, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are talking about the doctoral students section in the Infobox that section is for people that already have a Wikipedia article elsewhere. We can't put everyone there so we have to limit it to something reasonable and being deemed to have met our criteria for inclusion for a standalone article is what we went with. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Majora (talk) 23:24, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

number of papers / books
Currently the article states

Cox has written or co-authored 300 papers and books.

without a source. Firstly, its highly dubious that Cox wrote *exactly* 300 papers and books, more likely he wrote "over 300 papers and books". Also according to Google Scholar, he has 531 papers that have more than 10 citations which probably means the count of papers he has written is much over 500 (counting all those with less than 10 citations) and currently Google Scholar counts 1677 articles by him (Articles 1–1677) which is probably an over-estimate. Also, many papers there do not seem to be by this David Cox (e.g. "Trends in Continental Defence: A Canadian Perspective" seems unlikely). Therefore I suggest to change the sentence to

Cox has written or co-authored over 300 papers and books.

So we have now added a date of death and there is no source cited. All I have is one dubious Tweet. Do we have anything more official than that? Rhombus (talk) 12:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've reverted the death information yet again, as there are no sources covered under WP:RS that can be used as of yet. He's definitely dead. Multiple institutions and academics are tweeting about his death. There's also a blog entry here, but again it fails WP:RS. Something should come along within the next couple of days.

Starguard!

Starguard! is a 1974 miniatures wargame created by Michael Kurtick and Jon McEwan and published by McEwan Miniatures. It is a game of tactical-level ground combat of the future. The games Star War 2250 (1975) and Orilla: 1st StarGuard Supplement (1977) were released as strategic companions to Starguard!.

Gameplay
Players can play as various alien forces, each of which have different weapons and tables of organization and equipment (TOE's).

On a player's turn, they can move and fire and must choose the order these operations. Players have infantrymen, treaded vehicles, and anti-gravity vehicles with different speeds they can use to move around the model map. When firing, a die is rolled to hit the target and a "penetration roll" is made if the shot succeeds, the values of which are referenced to firing charts. There are a variety of weapons, each of which have different ranges, blast radii, damage, and effects (such as smoke).

The winner is the player who destroys all the forces of the other player.

Publication history
According to Shannon Appelcline, "The Space Gamer #6 ( June/July 1976) [was] the first issue to offer up substantial articles on other publishers' games — including discussions of McEwan Miniatures' Starguard! (1974) and SPI's then-forthcoming StarSoldier (1977)."

Reception
Larry Bond and Michael Mornard reviewed Starguard! in The Space Gamer No. 6. They commented that "In summary, Starguard! provides a nucleus for creating a single battle or an extended campaign. It can be played fully with the existing weaponry, or it can be expanded to include any weapon imaginable."

TVN Group

TVN S.A. (trade name: Grupa TVN) is a Polish media and entertainment group established in 1995 as ''TVN Sp. z o.o''. The CEO of TVN Group is Katarzyna "Kasia" Kieli, president and managing director of TVN Warner Bros. Discovery. Its TV channel, TVN, is their flagship.

In 2004, with its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the company became a public limited company. In March 2015, U.S. broadcaster Scripps Networks Interactive bought a 52.7% majority stake in TVN for €584 million. In July 2015, SNI bought out TVN's remaining owners, ITI Group and Canal+ Group, for €584 million, giving it full ownership.

On March 6, 2018, SNI was, in turn, acquired by Discovery, Inc. for US$14.6 billion. Liberty Global, which operated pay television provider UPC Polska, is a major shareholder in Discovery. The European Commission thus required TVN to ensure that TVN24 and TVN24 BiS remain available to third-party television providers.

Conflict with Law and Justice government (2021)
Since 2020, TVN and the Polish government of the Law and Justice have had a conflict. In July 2021, a group of PiS lawmakers, submitted to parliament a draft amendment that would prevent companies from outside the European Economic Area taking control of Polish radio and television stations. This would mean Discovery, which owns TVN, might be forced to divest its ownership. TVN is known to be highly critical of Law and Justice (PiS) government. Agreement, the PiS coalition partner, was opposed to this – they instead proposed a change that would allow companies from countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to own more than 49% of shares in Polish media companies, which means no change to American ownership of the channel. The government denies the measure is aimed at any one broadcaster, saying it seeks to prevent potential media acquisitions by non-EU countries such as Russia, China and Arab nations.

in August 2021, the bill was passed via the Sejm on a vote of 228 to 216, with 10 abstentions, making TVN's rights expire on September 26.

On August 30, 2021, the Chairman of the National Broadcasting Council sent to TV operators permission to enter the TVN24 program on the Discovery Communications Benelux B.V. license. The decision ensures the continuity of broadcasting the TVN24 program after September 26, 2021, regardless of the results of the ongoing conflict with Law and Justice government.

On December 17, 2021, parliamentary committee on culture and mass media unexpectedly resumed works on the bill, informing opposition MPs less than 20 minutes before the session. After a quick vote, the act was introduced to the Sejm, where it was adopted – equally quickly. The bill must be now signed by President Andrzej Duda to become law. On this day TVN24 signal was also transmitted by main TVN channel which has much wider broadcast range, also the news ticker of the station and the tvn24.pl website colours were changed to shades of black as a representation of a dark day in Polish media freedom.
