# USS Gilligan

**USS Gilligan (DE-508)** was a *John C. Butler*-class destroyer escort acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. The primary purpose of the destroyer escort was to escort and protect ships in convoy, in addition to other tasks as assigned, such as patrol or radar picket. After the war, she returned home with one battle star to her credit.

*Gilligan* (DE-508) was named in honor of John Joseph Gilligan Jr., who was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery on Tulagi, in the Solomon Islands.

## Namesake

John Joseph Gilligan Jr. was born on 17 June 1923 in Newark, New Jersey. He enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve on 8 January 1942 and served at Parris Island, South Carolina, and Quantico, Virginia. Gilligan was mortally wounded in action while serving with the First Marine Raider Battalion at Tulagi, Solomon Islands, on 7 August 1942 and died the next day. For his heroism under fire, he was posthumously awarded the Silver Star.

## Service history

*Gilligan* was launched 22 February 1944 by the Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newark, New Jersey; sponsored by Mrs. John J. Gilligan, the namesake's mother; and commissioned 12 May 1944. Following shakedown off Bermuda, *Gilligan* escorted a troopship from New York to Maine and sailed from Norfolk, Virginia, 5 August 1944 to escort an LSD to Pearl Harbor, arriving 30 August. Underway 29 September to escort merchantmen to Eniwetok, she put in at Majuro 13 October and from 16 to 27 October 1944 escorted merchantmen to Kwajalein, bombarded Mille Atoll and Jaluit Island, and sank a 50-foot (15 m) Japanese schooner, before returning to Majuro the latter date.

*Gilligan* sailed 1 November to escort merchantmen to Eniwetok and Saipan, subsequently mooring at Ulithi 17 November. Three days later, on 20 November, fleet oiler *Mississinewa* (AO-59)—loaded with more than 400,000 gallons of aviation gasoline—was torpedoed inside Ulithi lagoon with a loss of 50 officers and men. Seconds later, *Gilligan* saw a miniature Japanese submarine pass close alongside. Her crew dropped depth charges within the lagoon and possibly damaged one midget submarine. Destroyer *Case* (DD-370) rammed and sank another outside the harbor, and Marine planes finished off a third the same day. *Gilligan* sailed 4 December as a steamship escort to Manus and conducted patrols off Bougainville from that port until 31 December 1944 when she departed Manus to escort troopships bound for Lingayen Gulf, arriving in time for D-Day, 9 January 1945. Although in constant danger from enemy air attacks, the destroyer escort supported the assault, screened for Attack Group Able of VADM Wilkinson's Task Force 79, and made smoke.

*Gilligan* came under kamikaze attack 12 January. A sailor under fire from the attacking plane leaped from his post onto the main battery director and threw it off target, a mistake which prevented the 5-inch guns from getting off more than 1 round although it was able to fire an additional 13 rounds thirty minutes later at a second plane that dived into the USS *Suesens* (DE-342). The kamikaze crashed directly into the muzzles of *Gilligan's* No. 2 40 mm gun, killing 12 men (10 missing in action, 1 killed in action, and 1 who died of his injuries shortly after the attack) and wounding 13, and started raging fires. One of the survivor of the attack William Stewart was awarded a Silver Star, a Medal awarded primarily to members of the United States Armed Forces for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States. The day after the attack Commander of the U.S.S. Gilligan Carl E. Bull wrote to William Stewart wife, Virginia : "You can be very proud of your husband. He knew he was facing almost certain death and yet remained at his post and continued to direct the fire of his battery until the enemy was destroyed. By some miracle, perhaps your prayers in love, he was the only survivor of all his men. Even after it was over he talked cooly and calmly of getting well and back to the ship. It was a privilege and a pleasure to have been his commanding officer. I am recommending him for the Silver Star award for bravery in action. His conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service." Outstanding damage control kept the ship seaworthy; she put in at Leyte 17 January for repairs, subsequently reaching Pearl Harbor 21 February for overhaul.

*Gilligan* sailed again 29 March 1945 as an antisubmarine convoy escort and closed the western beaches of Okinawa 17 April to commence antiaircraft and antisubmarine screening around the transport anchorage. The Japanese were at this time using every conceivable means—kamikazes, submarines, swimmers, and motor boats—to destroy the assembled ships. In spite of heavy air attacks she engaged in screening and escort duties for transports, splashed at least five attacking planes, and possibly damaged a submarine. On 27 May her luck almost ran out; a torpedo bomber hit her solidly with a torpedo, but it was a dud. *Gilligan* returned to Ulithi 25 June and sailed again 6 July on merchantmen escort duty to Leyte and Hollandia and subsequently closed Manila where she was attached to the Philippine Sea Frontier.

On 16 August she sailed to escort merchantmen to Okinawa, returning to Manila 27 August, and repeated this voyage 29 August – 25 September 1945. Underway from Manila 5 November, *Gilligan* reached San Pedro, Los Angeles, 26 November for overhaul. She was towed to San Diego 14 April 1946 and was placed out of commission in reserve at that port 2 July 1946. *Gilligan* recommissioned in reserve 15 July 1950 at Seattle, Washington, and conducting reserve cruises in Pacific Northwest waters, and voyages thence to the Fleet Sonar School at San Diego. She made two training cruises to Hawaii, and one each to Acapulco, Mexico, the Panama Canal Zone and Alaska. She was also used for training in Portland, Oregon in 1958. She was decommissioned 31 March 1959 at Point Astoria, Oregon. *Gilligan* remained out of commission in reserve at Bremerton, Washington. On 1 March 1972, she was struck from the Navy list and, on 20 November 1973, she was sold for scrapping.

## Military awards

*Gilligan* earned one battle star for World War II service.

# Malaysia Federal Route 87

**Federal Route 87**, or **Jalan Mentakab-Temerloh**, is a main federal road in Pahang, Malaysia. The 15.6 km (9.1 mi) roads connects Mentakab until Temerloh. The roads was called Federal Route 2 before Mentakab-Temerloh Bypass was built in 1978.

## Route background

The Kilometre Zero of the Federal Route 87 starts at Mentakab South, at its interchange with the Federal Route 2, the main trunk road of the central of Peninsula Malaysia.

## History

In 1971, the old Temerloh Bridge spanning across the Pahang River collapsed due to the huge flood in Temerloh. As a result, the Malaysian Public Works Department (JKR) constructed a 575-m replacement bridge known as the Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge FT2 beside the old bridge. The Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge was much higher than the old bridge, forming the first grade-separated interchange in Pahang that was linked to the Federal Route 10. The new bridge project also included a new roadway that bypassed Temerloh and Mentakab, causing the former Temerloh-Mentakab section to be re-gazetted as the Federal Route 87. The construction of the Sultan Ahmad Shah Bridge was completed in 1974.

## Features

At most sections, the Federal Route 87 was built under the JKR R5 road standard, allowing maximum speed limit of up to 90 km/h.

title: Majda's model

abstract:
Majda's model is a qualitative model introduced by Andrew Majda in 1981 for the study of interactions in the combustion theory of shock waves and explosive chemical reactions. The following definitions are with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system with 2 variables. For functions u, z of one spatial variable x representing the Lagrangian specification of the fluid flow field and the time variable t, functions f, ϕ of one variable w, and positive constants k, q, B, the Majda model is a pair of coupled partial differential equations:
  - ∂ u ∂ t + q ⋅ ∂ z ∂ t + ∂ f ∂ x = B ⋅ ∂ 2 u ∂ x 2
  - ∂ z ∂ t = − k ⋅ ϕ ⋅ z
  - the unknown function u = u is a lumped variable, a scalar variable formed from a complicated nonlinear average of various aspects of density, velocity, and temperature in the exploding gas;
  - the unknown function z = z ∈ [ 0, 1 ] is the mass fraction in a simple one-step chemical reaction scheme;
  - the given flux function f = f is a nonlinear convex function;
  - the given ignition function ϕ = ϕ is the starter for the chemical reaction scheme;
  - k is the constant reaction rate;
  - q is the constant heat release;
  - B is the constant diffusivity. Since its introduction in the early 1980s, Majda's simplified "qualitative" model for detonation... has played an important role in the mathematical literature as test-bed for both the development of mathematical theory and computational techniques. Roughly, the model is a 2 × 2 system consisting of a Burgers equation coupled to a chemical kinetics equation.

**Majda's model** is a qualitative model (in mathematical physics) introduced by Andrew Majda in 1981 for the study of interactions in the combustion theory of shock waves and explosive chemical reactions.

The following definitions are with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system with 2 variables.

$$\frac {\partial u(x,t)}{\partial t}+q\cdot {\frac {\partial z(x,t)}{\partial t}+{\frac {\partial f(u(x,t))}{\partial x}=B\cdot {\frac {\partial ^{2}u(x,t)}{\partial x^{2}}}}}$$

# Malcolm Barclay-Harvey

**Sir Charles Malcolm Barclay-Harvey**, KCMG (2 March 1890 – 17 November 1969) was a British politician and Governor of South Australia from 12 August 1939 until 26 April 1944.

## Biography

The only child of James Charles Barclay-Harvey, of Dinnet House, Aberdeenshire, he was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford, and served in the 7th (Deeside Highland) Battalion of the Gordon Highlanders from 1909 to 1915, with the Home Staff from 1915 to 1916, with the Ministry of Munitions in London from 1916 to 1918 and in Paris from 1918 to 1919.

Barclay-Harvey was adopted as prospective Unionist candidate for East Aberdeenshire in 1914 and was Member of Parliament (MP) for Kincardine and Aberdeenshire West from 1923 to 1929 and from 1931 to 1939. He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Sir John Gilmour from 1924 to 1929 and to Sir Godfrey Collins from 1932 to 1936, and was knighted in the 1936 Birthday Honours, for "political and public services".

He was married firstly, in 1912, to Margaret Joan, daughter of Henry de la Poer Beresford Heywood, of Wrentnall House, Shrewsbury, by whom he had a daughter. He married secondly, in 1938, to a widow, Lady Muriel Felicia Vere Liddell-Grainger, daughter of the 12th Earl of Lindsey, becoming stepfather of David Liddell-Grainger.

He was Honorary Colonel of the 4th Battalion of the Gordon Highlanders from 1939 to 1945, and was a Member of Aberdeen County Council from 1945 to 1955. He was a member of the Royal Company of Archers.

He was appointed the Governor of South Australia in March 1939, whereupon he resigned from the House of Commons on 8 March and was appointed KCMG. He, his wife and two stepchildren then moved to Adelaide. He took office on 12 August, shortly before the outbreak of World War II. His principal focus during his tenure was the war effort. His wife, Lady Muriel, founded the Lady Muriel Nurses' Club for servicewomen, and made a habit of visiting numerous Red Cross branches. She also opened the Pioneer Women's Memorial Gardens in Adelaide on 19 April 1941 and launched the corvette HMAS *Whyalla*, the first ship from the World War II shipyard at Whyalla on 12 May 1941. He was also a Freemason. During his term as Governor (1939–1944), he was also Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of South Australia.

The Vice-Regal couple spent as much time as they could at the Vice Regal Summer Residence at Marble Hill, where they restored the gardens. An avid railway enthusiast, he also had a large-scale outdoor model railway installed there, and in 1943 the South Australian Railways new steam locomotive class South Australian Railways 520 class number 520 was named after him.

He retired from the Vice-Regal post for health reasons on 26 April 1944, whereupon he returned to his 14,000-acre (57 km2) Scottish estate which he had inherited in 1924. He served as deputy lieutenant of Aberdeenshire (1945), a member of the Aberdeenshire City Council (1945–55) and Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Scotland (1949–53). He wrote *A History of the Great North of Scotland Railway*, which was published in 1940 by Locomotive Publishing Company with a second edition in 1949, and a subsequent reprint by Ian Allan Publishing in 1998. He was a Knight of the Order of St John.

## Death

Sir Charles Malcolm Barclay-Harvey died in London on 17 November 1969, aged 79.

# Make It Snappy

***Make It Snappy*** was a musical revue that ran for 96 performances at the Winter Garden Theatre in the 1922–23 Broadway season. It ran from 13 April to 1 July 1922. It starred Eddie Cantor, who introduced the hit songs "Yes! We Have No Bananas" and "The Sheik of Araby".

## Production

Harold R. Atteridge and Eddie Cantor wrote the book. Harold Atteridge wrote the lyrics to music by Jean Schwartz. Alfred Bryan and William B. Friedlander wrote additional lyrics, and Friedlander wrote additional music. The show was produced by The Winter Garden Company, with production supervised by Jacob J. Shubert and staged by Jesse C. Huffman. Louis Gress was musical director. Dell Lampe orchestrated the music and Allan K. Foster staged the musical numbers.

The show ran at the Winter Garden from 13 April 1922 to 1 July 1922. Eddie Cantor headlined with Nan Halperin, J. Harold Murray and Lew Hearn. Shubert sent the show on tour after it had closed on Broadway. In Philadelphia, in the last week of the tour, Cantor introduced the song *Yes! We Have No Bananas*, written by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn. The song, later recorded by Cantor for the Victor Talking Machine Company, became the most popular novelty hit of the 1920s.

## Synopsis

The show has been described as a "collation of froth". Some material was reused from an earlier Shubert show *The Midnight Rounders*. Eddie Cantor played a classic comedy sketch of "Max, the Tailor", a small man having to deal with an unreasonable customer who wanted a belt in the back – and in the end got a different type of belt from the one he expected. Cantor did other sketches as a taxi driver and a very timid police academy candidate. Cantor premiered the song *The Sheik of Araby*, lyrics by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler, music by Ted Snyder. This also became a major hit.

The Eight Blue Devils put on a tumbling act. Act 2 opened with "Princess Beautiful (A Cleveland Bronner Ballet)". Ballet had been expected in all shows in the 1916–17 season, but by 1922 they were considered outdated. The show included various chorus spectacles. In one the women were all costumed as pink roses. Chorus members used the runway to toss ice cream bricks to the audience in the orchestra seats.

## Reception

The revue had a respectable run. It closed in July, as even the most popular New York shows did in the days before air conditioning. *The New York Sun* said of Cantor's performance that "Al Jolson now has a rival". Both Robert Benchley, writing in *Life*, and Dorothy Parker, writing in *Ainslee's*, claimed that *Make It Snappy* prompted a significant improvement in their opinions of Cantor as an entertainer.

title: USS Uncas (AT-51)

abstract: The second USS Uncas was a United States Navy tug in commission from 1898 to 1922.

text:
# USS Uncas (AT-51)

The second **USS *Uncas* (Ocean Tug No. 51/AT-51/YT-110)** was a United States Navy tug in commission from 1898 to 1922.

## Construction, acquisition, and commissioning

*Uncas* was built as the commercial tug SS *Walter A. Luckenbach* by John H. Dialogue and Sons at Camden, New Jersey, for the Luckenbach and Company shipping firm of New York City. The U.S. Navy acquired *Walter A. Luckenbach* on 2 April 1898 for Spanish–American War service as an ocean-going tug and commissioned her as USS *Uncas* on 6 April 1898.

## Spanish–American War service, 1898

Assigned to the North Atlantic Squadron, *Uncas* operated on blockade duty off Matanzas on the north coast of Cuba. On 3 May 1898, *Uncas*, in company with revenue cutter USS *Hudson*, captured off Havana the Cuba-bound Spanish sailing vessel *Antonio Suarez*. On 13 July 1898, again in company with *Hudson*, *Uncas* overtook two sloops. Together, *Hudson* and *Uncas* captured one sloop—*Bella Yuiz*, a Spanish vessel bound for Havana—and sank the other, taking two prisoners.

## Caribbean service, 1898–1915

After the August 1898 conclusion of hostilities, *Uncas* underwent repairs at the Philadelphia Navy Yard at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before she sailed south for the Caribbean, via Port Royal, South Carolina.

In the autumn of 1899, *Uncas* inspected lighthouse facilities in the Danish West Indies and at Puerto Rico before she served a brief tour towing United States Army Quartermaster Corps barges. She then resumed lighthouse inspection and harbor survey duties in the Puerto Rican area and, during this tour, carried a selection board to Culebra Island to seek out a site for a target range.

*Uncas* then engaged in local operations in Puerto Rican waters. She assisted patrol yacht USS *Mayflower* off a shoal near San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 15 March 1901. She subsequently carried U.S. Army passengers and towed targets for U.S. Army Coast Artillery units at San Juan through mid-1901. Sandwiched in between her routine operations, she towed the disabled merchant ship SS *Longfellow* from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, to San Juan for repairs on 14 November 1901.

Assigned duty as a tender for the North Atlantic Fleet, *Uncas* continued her Caribbean-based operations, carrying dispatches, mail, and provisions and serving again on lighthouse inspection duties into 1902. She carried an inspection and surveying team to look over land on Culebra Island for a possible coaling station site from 26 June 1903 to 28 June 1903 before she headed north for temporary duty at the Norfolk Navy Yard at Portsmouth, Virginia.

Returning to the Caribbean soon thereafter, *Uncas* operated out of San Juan for the first half of 1904 before she returned to the Norfolk Navy Yard for repairs. She subsequently received assignment to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and operated out of that port on "special" and "general" service with the Fleet until she was assigned to the Norfolk Navy Yard in late 1915.

## Service in the United States, 1915–1922

*Uncas* soon transferred from Norfolk to the Washington Navy Yard at Washington, D.C. While operating there, *Uncas*, by then designated Ocean Tug No. 51, was inspected and adjudged on 7 June 1916 to be no longer satisfactory for service off the coast. As a result, she conducted only local operations out of Washington through the end of World War I.

When the Navy adopted an alphanumeric hull number system for classifying its ships in mid-1920, *Uncas* was redesignated as fleet tug AT-51 on 17 July 1920. She was reclassified as a yard tug and redesignated YT-110 on 10 June 1921.

## Decommissioning and sale

Decommissioned at Washington on 6 March 1922, *Uncas* was struck from the Navy List on 14 March 1922 and put up for sale. Purchased by the Wood Towing Corporation of Norfolk, Virginia, on 25 July 1922. She then entered mercantile service and operated out of the Norfolk area.

# Malcolm MacPherson (writer)

**Malcolm Cook MacPherson** (August 23, 1943  January 17, 2009) was an American national and foreign correspondent for *Newsweek* magazine and the author of numerous fiction and nonfiction books.

## Biography

MacPherson was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on August 23, 1943, and spent his early childhood in Garden Grove in Orange County, California near Disneyland. After surviving a car crash that killed his parents when he was 11 years old in 1954-1955, he headed back East and lived with relatives in Wallingford, Connecticut. Attending a high school program during the summer in New Delhi, he had the opportunity to interview Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru, helping trigger an interest in journalism. He attended Trinity College in nearby Hartford, Connecticut, graduating in 1965.

MacPherson spent six years in the Marine Corps Reserves, starting in 1965. Working at *Time* magazine as a trainee, he was fired after throwing a drink in an editor's face while attending a holiday party. He started working for *Newsweek* magazine in 1968, first as a national correspondent, providing coverage from cities in the United States including Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles. Five years later, he started taking on overseas assignments, including covering the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and "The Rumble in the Jungle" in Kinshasa, Zaire in October 1974, with world Heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman facing former world champion Muhammad Ali, reporting from postings in London, Nairobi and Paris.

Turning down a position at its San Francisco office, MacPherson left *Newsweek* magazine. Moving into a treehouse in Kenya, he wrote his first novel, *Protégé*, about a group of former Nazis who try to take over Tanzania, which was published in 1980. *The Lucifer Key*, published the following year, told the story of a hacker who brings the United States and Soviet Union to the edge of nuclear war after he breaks into the Pentagon computer system. His 1984 non-fiction book *The Blood of His Servants* told of the search by Israeli journalist Lieber "Bibi" Krumholz for the man who killed his family during World War II. *Time Bomb*, published in 1986, was about the race to develop the atomic bomb. His 1994 comic novel *In Cahoots* was about real estate speculation in California. A story about a real-life rancher from Colorado who adopts a baby elephant was the impetus for his 2001 book *The Cowboy and His Elephant*. *Roberts Ridge*, about Navy Seals operating in Afghanistan, was published in 2005. His 2007 book *Hocus POTUS* was a satiric novel about the search for weapons of mass destruction, based on his reporting in a freelance assignment for *Time* magazine in Iraq after the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

MacPherson, a resident of Warrenton, Virginia, died of a heart attack at age 65 on January 17, 2009, after collapsing while attending a pre-inauguration party for then-President-elect Barack Obama in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He was survived by his wife, whom he married in 1988, two children and two sisters.

# Mali me Gropa

**Mali me Gropa** (lit.'Holes Mountain') is a massif situated in central Albania, east of Tirana municipality, wedged between the Dajti Mountain National Park in the west and the Martanesh highlands in the east. It forms part of the Mali me Gropa-Bizë-Martanesh Nature Park, within the Western Ranges. Its highest peak, *Maja e Micekut*, reaches a height of 1,818 m (5,965 ft).

## Geology

The massif primarily consists of heavily decomposed Mesozoic limestone and is distinguished for its extensive presence of karst processes and formations, most notably, the prevalence of funnels in the shape of small and large pits, which have given it its name. Along the sides of the massif, where the limestone meets the flysch, numerous karst springs emerge, contributing to the water supply of the Erzen river, as well as the upper branches of the Mat and Ishëm rivers.

## Biodiversity

Although the vegetation is relatively scarce, summer pastures and sporadic patches of beech trees are found, mainly around the eastern and northern confines. In recent decades, efforts have been made to introduce artificial afforestation, particularly with the usage of pine trees.

Wildlife in the area includes wild pigeons and mountain cranes, further enhancing the natural diversity of the region.

# Human alphaherpesvirus 2

***Human alphaherpesvirus 2*** or ***Herpes simplex virus 2*** (HHV-2 or HSV-2) is a species of virus in the genus *Simplexvirus*, subfamily *Alphaherpesvirinae*, family *Herpesviridae*, and order *Herpesvirales*.

## Evolution

*Human alphaherpesvirus 2* can be divided into two clades: one is globally distributed and the other is mostly limited to sub Saharan Africa.

## Pathology

*Human alphaherpesvirus 2* infects humans, most often as genital herpes. In the United States more than one in six people have the virus. It is primarily a sexually transmitted infection. *Human alphaherpesvirus 2* tends to reside in the sacral ganglia. *Human alphaherpesvirus 2* is periodically shed in the human genital tract, most often asymptomatically. Most sexual transmissions occur during periods of asymptomatic shedding. Asymptomatic reactivation means that the virus causes atypical, subtle, or hard-to-notice symptoms that are not identified as an active herpes infection, so acquiring the virus is possible even if no active blisters or sores are present.

In one study, daily genital swab samples found *Human alphaherpesvirus 2* at a median of 12–28% of days among those who have had an outbreak, and 10% of days among those suffering from asymptomatic infection, with many of these episodes occurring without visible outbreak ("subclinical shedding"). In another study, 73 subjects were randomized to receive valaciclovir 1 g daily or placebo for 60 days each in a two-way crossover design. A daily swab of the genital area was self-collected for *Human alphaherpesvirus 2* detection by polymerase chain reaction, to compare the effect of valaciclovir versus placebo on asymptomatic viral shedding in immunocompetent, seropositive subjects without a history of symptomatic genital herpes infection. The study found that valaciclovir significantly reduced shedding during subclinical days compared to placebo, showing a 71% reduction; 84% of subjects had no shedding while receiving valaciclovir versus 54% of subjects on placebo. About 88% of patients treated with valaciclovir had no recognized signs or symptoms versus 77% for placebo. For *Human alphaherpesvirus 2*, subclinical shedding may account for most of the transmission. Studies on discordant partners (one infected, one not) show that the transmission rate is approximately 5 per 10,000 sexual contacts. Atypical symptoms are often attributed to other causes, such as a yeast infection.

# Oryx/Pecos

**Oryx/Pecos** is a proprietary operating system developed from scratch by Bell Labs beginning in 1978 for the express purpose of running AT&T's large-scale PBX switching equipment. The operating system was first used with AT&T's flagship *System 75*, and until very recently, was used in all variations up through and including Definity G3 (Generic 3) switches, now manufactured by AT&T/Lucent Technologies spinoff Avaya. The last system based on Oryx/Pecos was the Avaya G3 CSI running release 13.1 Definity software. The formal end of sale was February 5, 2007. Although widely believed to be a Unix-like variant developed directly by Bell Labs, that is not the case, as it is not based on any version of Unix.

## Description

Oryx/Pecos consists of a kernel (Oryx), and the associated processes running on top of it (Pecos). The system is named for Pecos Street, which bounds the Westminster, CO campus of then AT&T's Colorado Bell Labs location, while Oryx was the last word alphabetically before OS in the office dictionary and the Oryx was purportedly the origin of the unicorn myth. The system is loosely based on Thoth (developed at the University of Waterloo) and DEMOS (developed at Los Alamos Scientific Labs).

Features normally found in commercial operating systems are not found in Oryx/Pecos. Such features include:

* A documented API structure
* Dynamic application execution capability where additional applications can be loaded and executed without a need to compile and link them directly to the operating system
* A Disk-Operating System compatible with standard file systems used today
* Dynamically-linked libraries
* Memory management for strong separation of applications and operating system processes
* A commercially available development package

There is one historical link between Oryx/Pecos and Unix: the authors of the above article proposed as a future development the implementation of a UNIX execution environment on top of Oryx/Pecos, and in fact, such a project was undertaken at Denver. However, that project never became an official product of AT&T or Lucent, even though it was completed successfully and introduced internally with the "Eli" version of Oryx/Pecos (5th release, or "E" release).

Persons working in large office environments and using AT&T, Lucent Technologies, or Avaya-branded telephones are likely to be using Oxyx-Pecos indirectly, but due to the narrow focus and proprietary nature of the operating system, it remains obscure. In 2005 Avaya discontinued the use of Oryx/Pecos as an operating system in itself, instead porting it to become an application that ran on Linux. The new incarnation is known as *Communication Manager*. Also in the early 2000s, the Definity One (later IP 600 and the S8100) was an earlier attempt to phase away from the OS. The Definity One ran on Windows NT 4.0 with a Linux emulator that also emulated the Oryx/Pecos system. Allegedly, according to administrators that used that specific system, it was a failure, and the attempt to have Windows run on top Oryx/Pecos and Linux was a problem.

However, due to the robust nature of carrier-grade equipment, and the widespread use of AT&T/Lucent/Avaya PBX systems, Oryx/Pecos will most probably continue to be supported indefinitely.

# Fred Barr

**Fred W. Barr** (1882-1940) ran a burro train business to Pikes Peak, but was known for his work blazing trails. He developed Barr Trail, built Barr Camp, and created other trails in the Pikes Peak area.

## Early life

Barr was born in June 1882 in Arkansas. He was the oldest child born to William and Mary Wade Barr. His five siblings were girls. His family moved to Colorado when he was eleven. They lived in Colorado City (now Old Colorado City) in 1900 and from 1904 to 1925 operated their business and lived at what is now 32nd Street and West Colorado Avenue. William Barr died in 1922.

## Burro transportation operator and trail blazer

At a young age, Barr rode along on stagecoaches that stopped at his grandfather, Joel H. Wade's stagecoach stop. They drove through the mountains from Cheyenne Mountain to Cripple Creek. Wade had moved into Cheyenne Canyon in 1885. Barr and his father ran a burro train and carriage business on West Colorado Avenue in Colorado City. They guided tourists through Garden of the Gods and Manitou by 1900. Barr had a stand at the Colorado Springs and Interurban Railway station at Garden of the Gods. He supervised "fine teams and excellent drivers" and led one of the teams. Tourists could visit Glen Eyrie, Garden of the Gods, Williams Canyon, Cave of the Winds, and High Drive. In 1913, William Barr was injured and his arm amputated at the shoulder after a railway car ran into his carriage. A woman passenger had a significant head injury when the carriage had overturned. Father and son operated the burro business at least through 1916. During that time, competition at the Railway station stand could result in altercations with competitors, resulting in judgments and fines.

There was a transitional period during Fred Barr worked at the livery business and from 1911 he had a contract for a burro concession station from the top of the Manitou Incline. Barr built a trail to the summit of Pikes Peak and after 1908 they took passengers on burro rides to the peak on his trail. He had a cabin above the Manitou Incline and later guided people on rides from there to the summit. Eric Swap postulates that Barr likely took his customers along the Fremont Trail, built in 1871 during a survey for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, but was not completed above the timberline at that time.

A trail was first created by a prospector in the mid-1800s, but the trail did not allow for travel by burro from Mount Manitou to the summit of Pikes Peak. This was because early trails did to go above the timber line, so the terrain was difficult to navigate over rocks and boulders. Beginning in 1914, Fred Barr built the burro trail, with a maximum 12% grade to the top of the peak for his burro train business. Aside from his work on the major portion of the trail, he supervised a crew of ten men for the U.S. Forest Service in 1917 who built the portion of the trail from the top of the Manitou Incline down to Manitou Springs. He hired workers and worked on the trail himself. He hiked the entire trail and made it to the top of Pikes Peak on Christmas Eve, 1918, marking the completion of the survey for the trail. Barr Trail was completed in 1921. He also built trails to Bottomless Pit, Cameron Cone, The Crater, and the Oil Creek Tunnel on Pikes Peak.

Barr created a camp at 10,200 feet (3,100 m), first with tents in 1922 and then with a cabin so that tourists could camp overnight during the course of the trek to the summit from the Manitou Incline. To ring in the new year, Barr hiked with four other men along the Cog Railway tracks on December 31, 1922 and set off fireworks at midnight. They have continued the tradition, which continues to this day, where an additional hiker is added to each New Year's hike for the fireworks celebration at Pikes Peak. The group is called AdAmAn.

Barr continued to operate tours up Barr Trail to Barr Camp and then the summit until his death in 1940. His business was sold and operated by successive owners until the 1960s.

An exhibit at the Manitou Springs Heritage Center documents his personal life as a husband and musician, his years as a burro train guide, and the impact that he made on the region with the development of trails and the Barr Camp site.

## Personal life

Barr had a wife named Anna and the couple had no children. He played the French Horn. Barr died in 1940 of a heart attack during a New Mexico vacation.

abstract: A milk pool is a financial pooling system used by dairy farmers to ensure that all dairy producers receive similar per-gallon payments for their product at or above a legally regulated minimum. Farmers producing milk "of equal quality and composition" will receive the same amount of per-gallon payment regardless of how their product is utilized. Milk pooling allows farmers to reduce the financial risk associated with the milk market. Milk pooling is usually regulated at the state or province level; however in some countries, for example Canada, there exist milk pooling programs that encompass several provinces.

# Morison/opit

**morison/opit** was the authorial name given to the collaboration between composers Benjamin Morison and Simon Opit.

## Project

Benjamin Morison and Simon Opit were composers who worked exclusively in collaboration for a period of some years, approximately 1991–1994. As one commentator wrote, "Much of their work consists of two set of parts written independently, which adds a new radical sense of indeterminacy one might have thought lost in recent works of the experimentalist genre."

In a text published in 1992, they wrote:

> The score of *double arrangement* has two names on it, implying that two composers were involved. \[...\] Suppose it were the true that one composer was responsible for the composition of the music of one duo, the other for that of the other duo: in what sense has one piece of music been composed? Why is it *not* the case that two composers have simply superimposed two different pieces, given them one title and call this process a collaboration? The obvious answer is that the composers collaborated on the *actual* composition of the music - the music of one could always affect the music of the other. Thus it is not the mere existence of a score that ensures the work's singularity (or the singularity of our future works) \[...\]

> This process of composition makes it impossible for this music to be *self*-expressive or expressive at all in the sense that a message is in no way intentionally passed from composer to audience. The absence of intention behind each *actual* result (while we have ensured the *material's* ability to cope with the stress of any of the infinite *possible* results) itself blocks any route being traced back to the composers so that there simply does not exist anything which can plausibly be said to be *expressed*. Thus if the results of the collaboration are termed 'music' then the composers have demonstrated the falsity of the view which says that composers communicate with their music. That leaves the materials standing alone.

## Critical reception

The BBC broadcast several works by morison/opit.

Two concerts featuring their music were reviewed in Tempo magazine.

## History

### Building the quadcast

On December 5, 1996, two stations on 107.1 MHz recently purchased by Odyssey Communications, alternative-formatted WRGX—licensed to Briarcliff Manor, New York, and serving Westchester County—and WZVU, a rock outlet in Long Branch, New Jersey, became a simulcast of a country music format. They were joined a month later by WWHB in Hampton Bays, New York, which had simulcast WNEW-FM in New York City. The design of the network—with transmitters ringing New York City but not actually covering the urban core—was intended, as it matched the distribution of country music listeners in the area, who mostly lived in the suburbs; it had come about because the market had been without a country station for most of the last year, after the sale of what was WYNY (103.5 FM).

Six months after launching, New Country Y-107's stations received more fitting call letters: WRGX became WWXY, WZVU became WWZY, and WWHB became WWVY. In December 1997, Odyssey Communications changed its name to Big City Radio and became a publicly traded company.

The station was strongest in suburban areas. In 1998, it ranked 25th overall in the New York City metro; in the embedded market of the Jersey Shore, it ranked third. New Country Y-107 doubled the ratings of the next most listened-to station in Rockland County within a year of its debut. The return of a country music station helped increase interest in country concerts and events; in 1998, the Country Music Expo in Edison returned after skipping 1997, as it now had a way to promote itself.

In 1998, Big City Radio spent $3.65 million to purchase a fourth station on 107.1: WRNJ-FM, located in Belvidere, New Jersey, which served the Lehigh Valley to the far west. Unlike the other Y-107 stations, WRNJ had been a country station prior to its acquisition by Big City. Renamed WWYY, its addition formed a quadcast. The WYNY call letters were added to the simulcast on the Briarcliff Manor transmitter in December 1998. These call letters had been first used in New York City radio in 1977 at 97.1 MHz and had been associated with country music on 97.1 and 103.5 MHz until 1996.

### Financial problems at Big City Radio

In November 1999—as the company struggled to raise its share price and its strategy of using multiple signals to cover a large market had not panned out as anticipated—Big City Radio's founder, Michael Kakoyiannis, resigned. He was replaced by Charles Fernandez of Heftel Broadcasting, a station group that primarily targeted Hispanic audiences, and the company merged with Fernandez's Hispanic Internet Holdings. The company announced plans to change its other "Y107" network, in the Los Angeles area, to a Spanish-language format, though New Country Y-107 would be left untouched. The station, however, continued to struggle, as its four transmitters did not provide the type of clear coverage that one New York City station could.

Big City's financial problems, however, continued to grow. In 2001, the company dismissed its program director and morning show host for "economic reasons". As other Big City stations changed to Spanish-language formats, speculation mounted that New Country Y-107 would be next. That October, Big City Radio moved the studio operation from Hawthorne to Manhattan.

### From country to Rumba

In late April 2002, it was finally announced that New Country Y-107 would leave the format, and the station's air staff began saying their on-air goodbyes. On May 8, it made way for "Rumba 107.1" and became a Spanish-language contemporary hit radio outlet.

The format change did not improve Big City's increasingly dire financial position. In November 2002, the company retained a broker to shop the quadcast and its other properties for sale. The stations were sold in 2003 to Nassau Broadcasting Partners for $43 million. When the deal took effect, Nassau broke up the quadcast.

Nassau ended up retaining only the Lehigh Valley station, WWYY. Jarad Broadcasting acquired the Long Island station, which became WLIR-FM; WWZY in New Jersey was sold to Press Communications for $20 million; and Pamal Broadcasting leased and then bought the Westchester County station, converting it to a simulcast of its WSPK in Poughkeepsie before returning it to its own station.
