title: Amnesia (José José song)

abstract: "Amnesia" is a ballad written by Chico Novarro and co-written by Dino Ramos, produced by Óscar López and co-produced by Daniel Freiberg and performed by Mexican singer José José. The song was originally recorded by Argentinean singer-songwriter Chico Novarro in his album Que Salga El Autor, released in 1976, and by Puerto Rican-American singer-songwriter and actress Yolandita Monge in her album En Su Intimidad, released in 1978. It was released later as the lead single from José José's album En las Buenas... y en las Malas (1990), and became his fourth number-one single in the Billboard Top Latin Songs chart. The song debuted in the Billboard Top Latin Songs chart at number 17 in the week of July 7, 1990, climbing to the top ten three weeks later, peaking at number one on September 29, 1990, holding this position for one week, replacing "¿Por Qué Te Tengo Que Olvidar?" by Puerto Rican-American singer-songwriter José Feliciano, and being succeeded at the top by Myriam Hernández's "Peligroso Amor". As part of the Latin Grammy tribute to José José in 2008, Puerto Rican singer Gilberto Santa Rosa performed the song live as a bolero. Its music video led to the artist winning the Billboard Music Video Award for Best Male Artist Video in the Latin in a tie with "Mi Mundo" by Luis Enrique.

# 1921–22 FC Basel season

The **FC Basel 1921–22 season** was their twenty-ninth season since the club's foundation on 15 November 1893. The club's chairman was Carl Burkhardt who took over from Franz Rinderer at the club's AGM. FC Basel played their home games in the Landhof in the district Wettstein in Kleinbasel.

## Overview

Basel played a total of 28 matches in their 1921–22 season. 14 of these were in the domestic league, one in the Och Cup and 13 were friendly matches. Of these 13 friendlies, seven were home games played in the Landhof and six were away games. Basel played eight of their friendly games against German opponents. The pre-season match on 6 August was a challenge match for the Feldberg Cup. The game took place on an improvised football field (swamp, ditch and rocks). After an hour, the game was abandoned and the Cup awarded to the Freiburger FC by toss of a coin. During the winter break Basel made a short journey to Germany and played one game against the Würzburger Kickers and one in Frankfurt am Main against 1. FFC Germania 1894. On the 1 April they travelled to Hamburg and played SC Victoria. Basel were also hosts for Czech team Sparta Prague, Hungarian Újpesti Dózsa and French team Mulhouse. Four test games ended in a victory, four were drawn and five ended in a defeat. In these tests Basel scored a total of 26 goals and conceded 33.

The domestic league, Swiss Serie A 1921–22, was divided into three regional groups, East, Central and West, each group with eight teams. FC Basel and the two other teams from Basel Nordstern and Old Boys were allocated to the Central group. The other teams playing in this group were Aarau, Luzern and Biel-Bienne and the two teams from the capital, Young Boys and FC Bern. FC Basel played a mediocre season, 14 matches, winning six matches, drawing three and suffering five defeats, scoring 20 goals and conceding 21. With 15 points they ended the season in third position. Kuhn was the team's top league goal scorer with 8 goals. In the home game against Luzern on 27 November 1921 he managed a hattrick. Despite this Luzern won the group and continued to the finals. Servette won the championship.

In the first round of the Och Cup, that had been newly created the year before, and is considered as the forerunner to the Swiss Cup, Basel played an away game against lower tier FC Olten. Basel lost 4–0 and were eliminated. The final was played on 6 August 1922 between Basel's lower tier rivals Concordia Basel and Étoile-Sporting. Concordia won 1–0 to win the trophy.

**.edu** is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. The domain was implemented in 1985 to create a domain name hierarchy for organizations with a focus on education. At the time, it was open for registration for entities from any region. Since 2001, new registrants for second-level domain names have been required to be United States–affiliated institutions of higher education.

## History

The domain *edu* was implemented in April 1985 as a generic top-level domain. Six universities were the initial registrants that month. UCLA was among this group of the first schools to have their URLs registered. And while the first ARPAnet message was sent from UCLA to Stanford, Stanford did not have their URL registered until half a year after these first schools, becoming the 18th .edu site.

Until 2001, Network Solutions served as registrar for *edu* under an arrangement with the U.S. Department of Commerce. Domain registration was done at no cost to educational institutions. In 2001, the Commerce Department entered into a five-year agreement with Educause making that organization the registrar for the .edu domain. The agreement with Educause was extended for an additional five-year period in 2006; at that time Educause was authorized to begin charging a yearly administrative fee to registrants.

The domain *edu* was originally intended for educational institutions anywhere in the world. However, most of the institutions that obtained edu registrations were in the United States, while non-U.S. educational institutions typically used country-level domains. In 1993, a decision attributed to Jon Postel limited new registrations in the edu domain to four-year postsecondary educational institutions. This prevented new edu registrations by community colleges and other institutions offering less than four years of postsecondary schooling.

Enforcement of the restrictions in the 1990s was not entirely effective. The webmaster for the Exploratorium, a San Francisco science museum, recalled in 2006 that the museum obtained its edu domain name at a time in the early 1990s "when there were about 600 websites and only one for a museum." The museum's Internet registrar allowed it to sidestep the then-extant domain-naming rules by using *edu* despite not being an academic institution and by using a name with more than 12 characters. Some community colleges were reported to have registered edu second-level names after 1993. In 1999 an article in *Mother Earth News* quoted an authority on distance education as saying, "Anyone who has the necessary $70 can register an edu domain name and use it to archive any type of enterprise on the Internet."

In 2001, the domain was restricted to U.S.-accredited postsecondary educational institutions. Subsequent changes expanded its use beyond four-year institutions, allowing registrations by accredited community colleges as well as by university systems, community college districts, and similar entities.

Between 2004 and 2019, the number of registered names in domain edu remained relatively persistent, with more than 7,000 but fewer than 8,000 names registered at any given time.

## Eligibility

Since October 29, 2001, only postsecondary institutions and organizations that are institutionally accredited by an agency on the U.S. Department of Education's list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies are eligible to apply for an edu domain. To be eligible, an institution must be located in the U.S., legally organized in the U.S., or recognized by a U.S. state, territorial, or federal agency. University system offices, community college district offices, and other entities within the United States that are organized to manage and govern multiple accredited postsecondary institutions may also register .edu domain names. Each eligible institution is limited to registering one .edu domain name, but institutions may also use names in other top-level domains.

## Grandfathered uses

Domains that were already registered in *edu* as of October 29, 2001, were grandfathered into the system. Holders of such domain names can retain their edu domain names without regard to the current eligibility criteria.

In 2003, Educause undertook an initiative to clear the edu registry of domain names that were not accurately registered by removing names whose registrants did not respond to requests that they log into the registry and review their whois entries. Through this effort, Educause expected to eliminate a number of domains that did not appear to qualify for registration in the edu domain, such as *oracle.edu*, *geraldine.edu*, and *jedi.edu*. Since 2006, Educause has been authorized to implement measures to prevent edu domain name owners from transferring their domain names to other entities. These measures, together with the imposition of registration fees, were intended to reduce the number of inactive or ineligible edu domain names.

The U.S. Department of Education notes that some "suspect" or "illegitimate" educational institutions continue to use edu addresses that were registered before the stringent eligibility criteria were adopted in 2001.

Many countries operate edu or .ac namespaces within their country code top-level domains that serve the same purpose as the edu top-level domain. In the United States, community colleges and technical and vocational schools also have the option of registering fourth-level domains under the .cc.*state*.us and .tec.*state*.us affinity namespaces, while elementary and secondary schools and school districts may register under the .k12.*state*.us namespace.

In September 2015, the .college top-level domain emerged as an option for organizations that do not meet edu's more stringent criteria, such as non-accredited institutions and institutions based outside the United States.

title: 1938–39 Southampton F.C. season

abstract: The 1938–39 Southampton F.C. season was the club's 44th season of competitive football and 17th season in the Second Division of the Football League. The campaign was another disappointment for the Saints, who finished 19th in the league with 13 wins, nine draws and 20 losses – three positions lower than the previous season and four points above the relegation zone. Due to the uncertain international economic landscape, the club was unable to make many significant signings in the summer, with Welsh full-back Tom Emanuel their most expensive transfer. Several key figures left the South Coast club early in the season, including long-time players Charlie Sillett and Arthur Roberts, both of whom had made over 150 appearances; previous season's top scorer Harry Osman also departed in March 1939. Southampton entered the 1938–39 FA Cup in the third round against Southern League club Chelmsford City. Despite competing two divisions above the Clarets, the Saints lost 1–4 to the non-league side, marking the fourth season in a row the Saints had failed to make it past their first game in the tournament. Alongside the Second Division and the FA Cup, Southampton played just one friendly match at the beginning of the 1938–39 season, against local rivals Portsmouth as part of the celebrations for the Football League's 50th jubilee. The match was won 4–2 by the First Division side, who overcame an early deficit to win the game at Fratton Park. The club used 30 different players during the 1938–39 season and had nine different goalscorers. Their top scorer was new inside-forward Fred Briggs, who scored 14 goals in 36 league appearances. Fellow new arrival Reg Tomlinson scored 12 times during the Second Division campaign and once in the FA Cup, while Harry Osman scored nine league goals before his departure before the end of the season. 14 players were signed by the club during the campaign, with ten released and sold to other clubs, while one retired. The average attendance at The Dell during 1938–39 was 14,591. The highest attendance was 23,104 against recently relegated Manchester City on 12 November 1938; the lowest was 4,196 against Burnley in the final home fixture of the campaign on 29 April 1939. 1938–39 was Southampton's last full season of competitive football until 1946. The 1939–40 Football League season was abandoned after just three games due to the outbreak of World War II, which lasted until 1945. At the time of the abandonment, Southampton were 17th in the table with one win and two defeats. The FA Cup was hosted during 1945–46, with the Football League returning the following year. Tom Parker resigned as manager during the war, making the 1938–39 season his last with the club.

The highest attendance was 23,104 against recently relegated Manchester City on 12 November 1938; the lowest was 4,196 against Burnley in the final home fixture of the campaign on 29 April 1939.

1938–39 was Southampton's last full season of competitive football until 1946. The 1939–40 Football League season was abandoned after just three games due to the outbreak of World War II, which lasted until 1945.

Tom Parker resigned as manager during the war, making the 1938–39 season his last with the club.

## Background and transfers

Due to the "uncertain international situation" ahead of the outbreak of World War II, Southampton's directors were reportedly "naturally unwilling to spend money on new players", meaning manager Tom Parker was unable to make significant signings ahead of the 1938–39 season. One of the first signings of the summer was 30-year-old forward Fred Briggs, who made the step up from Third Division South side Reading to the Saints on a free transfer; he went on to play in almost every game of the campaign, playing in all five forward positions and finishing as the club's top scorer. Other successful early signings included Harry Brophy from Arsenal, who scored in each of his first four games when played as a "makeshift centre-forward", before spending the rest of the season at half-back and full-back; Reg Tomlinson from Grimsby Town, who took over the centre-forward position and finished as the club's second highest goalscorer for the season; and Tom Emanuel from Swansea Town, who replaced the outgoing Charlie Sillett at left-back.

Several players left the Southampton squad in the summer of 1938. Wing-half Alf Day, inside-forward Jimmy Woolf and centre-forward Billy Dunn all left the club after arriving only a year earlier, having made a total of 38 appearances combined between them. Long-time squad members Charlie Sillett and Arthur Roberts, both of whom were approaching the latter years of their playing careers, also left in the summer – Sillett, who made just shy of 200 appearances for the Saints in all competitions, joined Guildford City in the Southern League; while Arthur Roberts, who had played over 150 games for the club, moved to league rivals Swansea Town. Winger John Summers, who had been a regular in 1936–37, his debut season with the club, was forced to retire from football due to an injury. Right-back Frank Perfect arrived from Tranmere Rovers in January 1939, while Harry Osman – the previous season's top goalscorer – departed Southampton in March for Millwall, who paid £3,500 for the winger.

## Second Division

Southampton faced a tough start to their 1938–39 Second Division campaign, with their first four fixtures against sides that had all finished in the top ten the previous season. The result was four consecutive defeats – 1–2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur, 1–2 at Burnley, 2–5 at Bury and 0–3 at Coventry City – which left the Saints at the bottom of the league table. New signing Harry Brophy scored in each of the first three games playing at centre-forward, before he played the rest of the season in various positions across the half-back line (and a handful of times at left full-back). After their first win, the Saints' form improved throughout the autumn, with the side picking up four wins and going on a four-game unbeaten run during October and November, including a 2–1 win over the recently relegated West Bromwich Albion, a hard-fought 4–3 win over Sheffield Wednesday, and the season's first away win over Millwall. Four defeats in five games between 12 November and 10 December (including a 1–6 thrashing at Chesterfield) ensured the team never made it above 16th place in the table before the new year. The side's one win in this period was their biggest of the season, 4–1 over fellow strugglers Swansea Town.

1939 began in much the same way, with Southampton picking up just one point from their first three games of the calendar year; during February, however, the club picked up another handful of wins (three from four matches, including 2–0 away against Nottingham Forest) to ensure they remained safe above the relegation zone. After the March departure of Harry Osman, who had scored nine of the club's league goals up to that point, the Saints began to struggle even more – they lost four of their seven fixtures in April, including 2–6 and 0–4 thrashings at the hands of Luton Town, a 0–3 defeat by eventual champions Blackburn Rovers, and a 2–0 loss at home to mid-table West Ham United. The team's final points came in the form of a close 2–1 win over Burnley, with the final game of the season seeing Plymouth Argyle return their early defeat with a 2–0 win over the South Coast side. Southampton finished the season in 18th position in the Second Division league table – three positions lower than the previous campaign – with 13 wins, nine draws and 20 losses (their highest number of losses in over ten years). They finished four points above Norwich City in 21st position, the first Third Division relegation place.

## Other matches

Outside the league and the FA Cup, Southampton played just one additional game during the 1938–39 season, against local rivals Portsmouth (then struggling in the First Division) as part of the Football League's 50th jubilee celebrations. The visiting Saints opened the scoring through Billy Bevis in the first minute, before Pompey took control and equalised before half-time. The hosts began to dominate after the break, scoring three goals in quick succession to secure the win comfortably, before Reg Tomlinson scored a consolation late on for Southampton.

# Arthur William Sidney Herrington

**Arthur William Sidney "Art" Herrington** (March 30, 1891 – September 6, 1970) was an American engineer and manufacturer. He designed the Jeep, military trucks, trolleys, and buses.

## Early life

Born in Coddenham, England, Herrington migrated to the US with his family at the age of five, settling in Madison, New Jersey. He attended Stevens Institute of Technology and took his first job with Harley Davidson.

## Military service

During World War I, Herrington was a lieutenant in the American Expeditionary Forces, serving as a motorcycle dispatch rider in Europe. During this time, he observed the difficulties of conventional vehicles when driving off road. He was discharged from regular service at the end of the war with the rank of captain. He was given a reserve commission, working as a consultant.

## Later career

Herrington left military service in 1925 after observing a truck built by a private company, Coleman Motors, outperformed army trucks. He subsequently joined Coleman Motors and worked there for six years, designing vehicles for military use, before founding the Marmon-Herrington company. Here, he built four and six wheel drive trucks which were later used in World War II. During this conflict, Herrington served as technical adviser to the American Mission to India and as director of the American Medical Center for Burma.

## Death

Herrington died in Indianapolis, Indiana, on September 6, 1970, after sustaining fatal head injuries in a car accident. He is interred at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.

# 1931 Latvian parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Latvia on 3 and 4 October 1931. The Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party remained the largest party, winning 21 of the 100 seats. They were the last elections held under the Constitution of Latvia before the 1934 coup d'état and the last competitive elections held under Latvian law until 1993.

## Electoral system

For the elections the country was divided into five constituencies, electing a total of 100 MPs using proportional representation. The list system used was made flexible, as voters were able to cross out candidates' names and replace them with names from other lists, a system 35% of voters took advantage of. Although 103 lists registered for the election, the number of competing lists dropped from 66 to 46.

title: 1942 Indianapolis 500

abstract: The 1942 Indianapolis 500 was scheduled for Saturday May 30, 1942, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It was to be the 30th annual running of the famous automobile race. The race was canceled due to the United States involvement in World War II. In total, the Indianapolis 500 was not held from 1942 to 1945. This was the second instance in which the Indianapolis Motor Speedway suspended the annual running of the Indianapolis 500. During World War I the Speedway management voluntarily suspended competition in 1917–1918. However, for World War II, the decision to cancel the race was more resolute, and ultimately was part of a four-year nationwide ban on automobile racing. During the war, the track was closed and neglected, and fell into a terrible state of disrepair. Towards the end of the war, revival of the "500" appeared unlikely, and the facility was in danger of being demolished in favor of development.

However, for World War II, the decision to cancel the race was more resolute, and ultimately was part of a four-year nationwide ban on automobile racing.

During the war, the track was closed and neglected, and fell into a terrible state of disrepair. Towards the end of the war, revival of the "500" appeared unlikely, and the facility was in danger of being demolished in favor of development.

## Background

### Offseason

Following the 1941 race, the 1941 National Championship was won by Rex Mays. With the hostilities of World War II escalating abroad, rumors began to circulate during the summer of 1941 that the 1942 race may be suspended. Track officials, however, rebuffed the rumors, and insisted the race would go on as planned. The AAA Contest Board announced their rules package for 1942, and with the United States still not involved in the war, preparations were underway to race. Rules and specifications were effectively frozen, as parts shortages due to the war were beginning to affect the sport.

A fire had swept through the "Gasoline Alley" garage area on the morning of the 1941 race, destroying the car of George Barringer, and burning down about a third of the southern bank of garages. About a month later, plans were drafted to rebuild the garages, and the work was done at some point during the summer and fall of 1941.

As was customary at the time, a number of non-points exhibition races took place at the Speedway in July, August, and September 1941. These races were usually put on to entertain visiting conventioneers. On September 9, 1941, an exhibition "match race" was held at the Speedway to entertain delegates attending the National Association of Postal Supervisors convention. Five drivers - Duke Nalon, Cliff Bergere, Russ Snowberger, Chet Miller, and George Connor \- ran two short races. Nalon won the first, a 10-mile race, and Bergere won the second, a 15-mile race. It would be the last event held at the Speedway before the war intervened.

### Cancellation

Ticket order forms were available for the race in November 1941. Less than a month later, the attack on Pearl Harbor launched the United States into World War II. Within days, public and political pressure began to mount on Speedway management to suspend the race.

Initially, the Speedway management was noncommittal about canceling the race, and tentatively proceeded with plans for the race. On December 29, 1941, Speedway president Eddie Rickenbacker announced that the 1942 Indianapolis 500 was canceled, and the race would remain suspended throughout the duration of the war. Unlike during World War I, all automobile racing under the auspices of the AAA Contest Board was suspended, and furthermore in July 1942, the federal government moved to ban automobile racing, primarily on account of rationing. Other reasons cited, however, included the need for the skilled mechanics and technicians from the racing fraternity to shift their labor to war efforts, or even enlistment. In addition, the intrinsic use of auto racing as a testing and proving ground for the automobile industry was largely unimportant, as the industry had already shifted its focus to wartime production and away from motoring public.

Rickenbacker initially offered the Speedway to the U. S. military for any purpose they saw fit. During World War I, it was activated as the 821st Aero Repair Squadron. But they could not use it during World War II, because warplanes of the day needed longer runways than the track's 58 mile straights provided. Thus the Speedway gates were locked, and the facility was abandoned. In March 1942, nearly the entire Speedway staff was laid off, and the headquarters offices at 444 North Capital Avenue in downtown Indianapolis was closed. The race would not be held from 1942 to 1945. The golf course on the premises, however, did operate for at least some time during the war. During the period in which the track was closed, it fell into a terrible state of disrepair. Grass and weeds overwhelmed the brick racing surface, and the old wooden grandstands became frail and unsuitable and inhospitable. The infield became an un-kept quagmire of weeds and overgrowth. Locals would occasionally wander the dormant infield, hunting small vermin, ride bicycles around the course, or simply explore the grounds.

Many former and future Indianapolis 500 drivers were servicemen in the war effort during World War II. Sam Hanks is believed to be the only driver who served in the war, and drove in the race both before and after. Some drivers from before the war period worked as consultants during the war to various suppliers. Most drivers who served did not return to racing afterwards, but a number of drivers who were not servicemen drove before and after. Several World War II veterans returned home to later become Indy drivers, including winners Lee Wallard, Bob Sweikert, and Rodger Ward.

### Revival

Towards the end of the war, Firestone received permission from the U.S. government to conduct a tire test at the Speedway. On or approximately November 25, 1944, Firestone tested several passenger cars at the track. On November 29, 1944, Wilbur Shaw tested a race car, driving a full 500 miles, averaging about 100 mph. A second similar test was reported in the spring of 1945. Driver Sam Hanks took a tour of the facility with mechanic Harry C. "Cotton" Henning, and reported that the track was overgrown with weeds, the bleachers were about to collapse, and both conjectured that the race was finished.

On May 30, 1945, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope came to the Speedway to hold a war bonds rally, putting on a 45-minute show with Jerry Colonna and other entertainers. They then took part in a charity golf tournament at the Speedway Golf Course with Ed Dudley.

After World War II was over in the summer of 1945, Eddie Rickenbacker was mostly uninterested in reviving the Speedway, due to other commitments, including his involvement with Eastern Air Lines. He was looking to sell the property, perhaps to developers. Wilbur Shaw helped consummate a deal for Tony Hulman to purchase the track in November 1945, and it reopened in 1946. Hulman worked diligently over the next few months to revive and clean up the dilapidated facility, and make it suitable for world-class racing once again.

The 30th Indianapolis 500 was held May 30, 1946.
