paragraph: Mark Boals

paragraph: Mark Robert Boals (born December 5, 1958) is an American singer songwriter for the band Foundry. He is a heavy metal vocalist and occasional bassist, best known for his vocals with Yngwie Malmsteen. His first album with Malmsteen, "Trilogy" achieved platinum status in the USA and sold several million copies worldwide. As a young child, he learned to play the piano and bass guitar. Although Boals has never had any vocal lessons or training, as a teenager he gained experience as a vocalist in local groups. Boals is the founder and vocalist for the band Ring of Fire, and had a brief stint as the bassist for Dokken. He currently performs lead vocals, guitar and bass in the hit musical show, "Raiding the Rock Vault" in Las Vegas.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1982, Boals joined Savoy Brown and toured around Canada and the U.S. through 1983. Although several songs were written for a proposed new album, the record never materialized due to mainman Kim Simmonds running into legal problems at the time. During these years Boals also performed with his band Lazer.

paragraph: While with Savoy Brown, Boals met Ted Nugent and joined his band as bassist in 1984 touring throughout the U.S. and opening up for Judas Priest in Europe. Deciding to focus on singing and being a frontman, Boals moved to California in 1985. He joined Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force and performed on the "Trilogy" album. Boals' first show with Malmsteen was at Day On The Green in San Francisco, CA in front of 80,000 fans. After leaving Yngwie in 1986, he gave up music for a time, trying to find himself in cinematography and working for Warner Brothers. In this period he recorded, with Mike Slamer, a soundtrack for the film White Water Summer (1987); he also appeared on Maestro Alex Gregory's "Paganini's Last Stand" (Priority Records) in 1992.

paragraph: Boals' next venture was Billionaires Boys Club, a short lived supergroup featuring former Accept guitarist Jörg Fischer, future HammerFall bassist Magnus Rosén, and former Yngwie Malmsteen bandmate, drummer Anders Johansson. The group's sole album, "Something Wicked Comes", was released on Polydor Records in 1993.

paragraph: Then in 1996, Yngwie Malmsteen called Boals and asked if he wanted to perform on several songs on the cover album "Inspiration". Boals accepted, and resumed his role as vocalist with Yngwie Malmsteen for the album "Alchemy". The band subsequently went on tour.

paragraph: In March 2000, Boals won the No.1 Vocalist Prize in the Japanese music magazines "Burrn!" and "Young Guitar". At the end of that year, on the same day, his second solo CD, entitled Ring Of Fire and Yngwie Malmsteen's "War To End All Wars", with Boals on vocals, were released. However, after many years of musical magic and friendship, the team of Malmsteen and Boals had decided to move in different directions, and Boals formed a new band, Ring of Fire, named after his solo album. At the beginning of this year, Ring of Fire recorded their subsequent debut "The Oracle" album at the George Bellas Studios in Chicago. Alongside Boals were George Bellas, Vitalij Kuprij, Virgil Donati and Philip Bynoe.

paragraph: In addition Boals has participated in two exciting projects of Lion Music in Finland. He appears on the Jason Becker tribute "Warmth in the Wilderness", singing a version of David Lee Roth's "Hammerhead Shark" with Lars Eric Mattsson. Speaking about Mattsson, in 2005 he also recorded an album "War" with Boals lead singing on track "Deep In The Shadows". As Malmsteen urgently needed a singer for his current tour, Boals has toured again with him in Europe, but only as guest vocalist.

paragraph: Also Boals is featured on vocals on two songs, "Into The Light" and "I Will Always Be There", for the Empire CD "Hypnotica" (2001). Another cool project where Boals took part in, was "Genius Rock Opera" Trilogy by Daniele Liverani. There he was recording as the main character (Genius) on Episode 1: A human into dreams' world (2002) and Episode 2: In search of the little prince (2004). But he refused to sing on the last Episode because of personal reasons and was replaced by D. C. Cooper. In 2004 Boals recorded two songs for young Japanese guitarist named Takayoshi Ohmura. Ohmura's debut album, entitled "Nowhere To Go", features additional guest appearances by Doogie White (Yngwie Malmsteen, Cornerstone, ex-Rainbow) and Richie Kotzen (ex-Mr. Big, Poison). Commented Boals:

paragraph: After I was asked by the representatives of Ohmura, I listened to his demo. I thought his music was good and he has a talent to play guitar, and I thought it'd be great to support this young Japanese musician. I also thought it would be great to share the vocals with the other singers, Richie Kotzen and Doogie White, so I recorded two songs here in L.A. and sent them to Japan.

paragraph: Boals has also performed with Lana Lane, Indigo Dying, Empire and Chris Brooks.

paragraph: In recent years Boals recorded 3 solo albums as well as three studio albums and one live DVD with his own band, Ring Of Fire. The latest project album is entitled "The Codex", which Boals recorded with Magnus Karlsson in 2007. The album project marks the return to recording after a 3 years hiatus for Boals. In 2007 Boals started looking for a serious, permanent band situation and Royal Hunt became a perfect opportunity for a singer to exploit and expand his vocal abilities.

paragraph: In 2008 Boals appeared on his first Royal Hunt album "Collision Course... Paradox 2". Boals also appeared on Uli Jon Roth's album titled "Under A Dark Sky" on which he shared vocal duties with Liz Vandall. The band with Boals toured the world from July - December 2008. In 2009, he also worked with such bands like Vindictiv and Wolf, and completed work on the latest Royal Hunt album "X" which was released in January 2010. Mark is also currently handling vocal duties in the band Seven The Hardway featuring guitarist Tony MacAlpine which released a self-titled album in August 2010.

paragraph: A press release dated June 19, 2011 announced that Boals would be recording vocals for the Wagnerian opera metal project Lyraka.

paragraph: In 2012, Boals sang lead vocals for Joshua Perahia's band and their album, "Resurrection".

paragraph: Since 2013, Boals is performing with Dio Disciples, replacing former Judas Priest singer Tim "Ripper" Owens.

paragraph: After singing backing vocals on Dokken's 2012 album "Broken Bones" and performing acoustic shows with Don Dokken for the past couple of years, Boals was announced as the new full-time Dokken bass player in November 2014 replacing Sean McNabb.

paragraph: Boals also appears on an EP project from the band Metal Hell called Decadence, which includes Mark Zonder from Fates Warning

paragraph: Boals currently performs in the Las Vegas show, "Raiding the Rock Vault", in which he is one of the lead vocalists, and also plays guitar and bass.

paragraph: Boals now sings for the rock band Foundry whom are actively producing and performing concerts to audiences worldwide. Foundry is currently working with producer Colin Brittain.

paragraph: Ignatius IV of Antioch

paragraph: Patriarch Ignatius IV (Hazim) of Antioch and All The East (; April 4, 1920 – December 5, 2012) was the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch and All The East from 1979 to 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Ignatius was born "Habib Hazim" on April 4, 1920, in the village of Mhardeh near Hama in Syria. He was the son of a pious Greek Orthodox Syrian Arab Christian family and from an early age was attracted to service within the Church. While studying in Beirut, Lebanon, for a literature degree, he entered the service of the local Antiochian Orthodox diocese, first by becoming an acolyte, then a subdeacon and then a deacon. During his studies at the American University of Beirut, young Habib was influenced by his outstanding philosophy professor Charles Malik. Malik influenced his students tremendously on matters of philosophy and spirituality — many of whom (i.e. many of Hazim’s classmates) became ordained ministers and friars in various ecclesiastical orders under Malik’s influence. In 1945 he went to Paris where he graduated from the St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute. From his time in France onwards he was moved not only by a desire to pass on the deposit of the Greek Orthodox faith, but also to take Orthodoxy out of its unhistorical ghetto by discovering in its Holy Tradition living answers to the problems of modern life. On his return to the Eastern Mediterranean, he founded the University of Balamand in Lebanon which he then served for many years as dean. As Dean he sought to provide the Patriarchate with responsible leaders who had received a good spiritual and intellectual training and who were witnesses to an awakened and deeply personal faith.

paragraph: While his native language was Arabic, he also spoke fluent English and French. He was one of the founders of the active Orthodox Youth Movement of Lebanon and Syria in 1942, through which he helped to organise and lead a renewal of Church life in the Patriarchate of Antioch. The movement worked at the heart of the Church, helping ordinary believers to rediscover the personal and communal meaning of the Eucharist through a practice of frequent Communion, which had become extremely rare. Following on from this, in 1953 he helped to found Syndesmos, the world fellowship of Orthodox Youth and Theological Schools.

paragraph: Section::::Ordination and episcopacy.

paragraph: He was consecrated to the episcopacy in 1961 and elected Metropolitan of Latakia in Syria in 1970. His style as metropolitan broke with the former tradition of episcopal grandeur and he inaugurated an authentic practice of frequent communion. On July 2, 1979, under the name of Ignatius IV, he became the Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, the third ranking hierarch of the Orthodox Church after the Ecumenical Patriarchs of Constantinople and Alexandria.

paragraph: During an official visit to the patriarch's residence in May 2010, Russian Federation President Dmitry Medvedev awarded the Antiochian Orthodox patriarch the Russian Order of Friendship.

paragraph: On December 5, 2012 he died in St. George's Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon following a stroke. His death was reported to and published exclusively via the Syrian state news agency SANA. Patriarch Ignatius IV of Antioch did not support the Syrian rebel uprising of 2011-2012 and called for a peaceful political dialogue. He was buried in Syria.

paragraph: Luis Bacalov

paragraph: Luis Enríquez Bacalov (30 August 1933 – 15 November 2017) was an Argentine-Italian

paragraph: composer of film scores. Early on in his career, he composed scores for Spaghetti Western films. In the early 1970s, he collaborated with Italian progressive rock bands. Bacalov was nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, winning it in 1996 for "". Bacalov composed significant works for chorus and orchestra. Before his death, he was the artistic director of the "Orchestra della Magna Grecia" in Taranto, Italy.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Luis Bacalov was born in Buenos Aires to a family of Bulgarian Jewish origin, but even though he identified as a Jew, he did not practice Judaism. His paternal grandparents were Banat Bulgarians who emigrated to Argentina. His film credits include westerns such as "Django", "A Bullet for the General", and "The Grand Duel", and Italian crime films such as "Caliber 9", "Il Boss" and "Mister Scarface". He also scored Fellini's "City of Women" in 1980.

paragraph: Bacalov had been nominated twice for Academy Award for Original Score—music adaptation or treatment— in 1967 for Pasolini's "The Gospel According to St. Matthew", and winning the award for "" in 1996.

paragraph: In the early 1970s, he collaborated with Italian progressive rock bands such as New Trolls, on their 1971 album, "Concerto grosso per i New Trolls", Osanna, on the band's second album, "Preludio Tema Variazioni e Canzona" released in 1972, and Il Rovescio della Medaglia for the 1973 release of their third album, "Contaminazione".

paragraph: Bacalov composed significant works for chorus and orchestra, including his "Misa Tango" (1997), a work setting a Spanish-language adaptation of the classic liturgical Mass to the tango rhythms of his native Argentina. The standard Mass text was significantly truncated in accordance with Bacalov's desire that the work appeal to those of all Abrahamic faiths: Christians, Muslims and Jews. All references to Christ — except for the Lamb of God () — have been deleted. Credo, the third and longest text part of a sung Mass, has been reduced to most of its first strophe and part of the second one: "" ("" I believe in one God, ... Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth"") plus "Amen" at the end. "Misa Tango" debuted in Rome with Plácido Domingo as solo tenor in 2000 and was later recorded by Deutsche Grammophon with Plácido Domingo (tenor), Ana María Martínez (mezzo-soprano) and Héctor Ulises Passarella ("bandoneón").

paragraph: Bacalov composed Portena for 2 pianos and orchestra (given a performance and live recording by Argentinian pianist Martha Argerich at the 2015 Lugano Festival).

paragraph: Bacalov composed "Cantones de Nuestro Tiempos" ("Psalms for our Times: The Cambridge Psalms") (2006), a commissioned work with text from the Psalms of David for baritone and soprano soloists, orchestra and chorus, which had its world premiere at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in spring 2006 by the Cambridge Community Chorus (William E. Thomas, Music Director). This followed the 19 May 2002 U.S. premiere performance of "Misa Tango" also at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre (William E. Thomas, Music Director).

paragraph: Two of his songs, "The Grand Duel (Parte Prima)" and "Summertime Killer", were used in Quentin Tarantino's film "Kill Bill" (2003). Tarantino also used three Bacalov songs from the Spaghetti western era in his 2012 movie "Django Unchained": "Django" and "La Corsa (2nd Version)" originally from "Django" (1966), and "Lo Chiamavano King" from "His Name Was King".

paragraph: Bacalov was the first to write a triple-concerto for bandoneón, piano, soprano and symphony orchestra: "Tango Music with Symphonic Proportions".

paragraph: From 2005 to his death, he was the principal director of Orchestra della Magna Grecia in Taranto, southern Italy.

paragraph: He was considered a brilliant pianist in his time.

paragraph: He died in Rome on 15 November 2017 at the age of 84.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Draft.

paragraph: Lee was drafted by the Florida Marlins as the twelfth pick of the eighth round of the 1997 Major League Baseball draft out of Benton High School in his hometown of Benton, Arkansas, but instead chose to attend Meridian Community College in Mississippi. Later, Lee was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the twentieth round of the 1998 amateur draft, but opted to attend the University of Arkansas instead.

paragraph: In the 2000 major league draft, he was chosen in the fourth round by the Montreal Expos and signed in July of that year. In 2002, Lee played for Double-A Harrisburg, and compiled a 7–2 record with a 3.23 ERA in the Eastern League by mid-summer.

paragraph: In June 2002, the Expos traded Lee (along with Brandon Phillips, Lee Stevens, and Grady Sizemore) to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for Bartolo Colón and Tim Drew.

paragraph: Following the trade, Lee pitched seven games with the Akron Aeros before he went to the Buffalo Bisons. He compiled a 3–2 record with the Bisons before going to the Indians in September of that season. Lee made his major league debut in a start against the Minnesota Twins on September 15, 2002, giving up a lone run in 5.1 innings, resulting in a loss due to lack of run support. He pitched once more that season, giving up one run in five innings against the Kansas City Royals, resulting in a no decision for Lee but a loss for the team.

paragraph: Lee won at least fourteen games in each of his first three full seasons and pitched more than 200 innings in both 2005 and 2006. He finished the 2005 season with an 18–5 record and a 3.79 ERA, earning him fourth place in the AL Cy Young Award voting that year. In 2006, the Indians gave him a midseason 3-year $14 million contract extension.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Cleveland Indians (2002–09).:2007 season.

paragraph: In 2007, Lee suffered a groin strain during a spring training start, forcing him to begin the regular season on the disabled list. He returned to the Indians' pitching rotation in May, but got only a 4–9 record and a 5.38 ERA in his first 16 starts.

paragraph: On July 21, Lee hit Texas Rangers' right fielder Sammy Sosa in the head with a pitch on the night when the Rangers were honoring Sosa for hitting his 600th home run. The incident sparked an altercation between Lee and Indians' catcher Víctor Martínez and led to a players-only meeting immediately after the game. Lee encountered more problems on July 26, 2007, when he gave up seven runs in four innings against the Boston Red Sox. When he left the game, the fans booed him and he tipped his cap to the fans before he entered the dugout. The next day, on July 27, Lee was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. He was called back up on September 1 when rosters expanded, but only appeared in four games, all out of the bullpen.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Cleveland Indians (2002–09).:2008 season.

paragraph: In 2008, Lee had a career year. Despite the Indians playing with a .500 winning percentage for the season, Lee started the 2008 season with much success. Lee was one of only eight pitchers since 1920 to win 19 or more of his first 21 games. He was the first Cleveland pitcher to win his first six starts since Greg Swindell in 1988. He also recorded his first career shutout on April 25, 2008, against the Kansas City Royals, allowing just three hits and no walks. He had the lowest On-base percentage since 1909, having only a .163 percentage through five starts. For his efforts and success, he was named the American League Pitcher of the Month for April, when he went 5–0 with a 0.96 ERA.

paragraph: Lee was picked to his first All-Star game in 2008, and was also selected to start the game. Lee pitched two scoreless innings for the American League team, striking out three batters and giving up only a Chipper Jones base hit.

paragraph: On August 26, Lee won his 19th game of the season, yielding only two runs to the Detroit Tigers. This victory set a new career high for Lee, outdoing his previous mark of 18 wins during the 2005 season. On September 1, Lee won his 20th game of the season, where he pitched a shutout. He was the first Indian to earn 20 wins since Gaylord Perry in 1974. In August, Lee was named American League Pitcher of the Month for the second time in the 2008 season. He went 5–0 with a 1.86 ERA in the month. On September 12, Lee won his 22nd game, making his record 22–2 for the season. This was the first time a pitcher had gone 20 wins over .500 since Bob Welch in 1990. Lee ended the year with a 22–3 record, a 2.54 ERA, and 170 strikeouts. He started 31 games, completed four, and had two shutouts. He pitched a total of 223⅓ innings. Lee was the American League champion for both wins and ERA in the 2008 season.

paragraph: Lee's 2008 winning percentage of 88% was the twelfth best of all time, and the fourth best by a pitcher starting a minimum of 30 games, behind only Randy Johnson, Ron Guidry, and Lefty Grove. Lee's winning percentage is the second best in the Indians' history, behind Johnny Allen's 93.8% (15 wins, 1 loss, in 24 games) in 1937.

paragraph: Lee earned several awards following the 2008 season. These included the AL Comeback Player of the Year Award, the Players Choice Award for AL Outstanding Pitcher of the Year, Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award, Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year Award, and the Warren Spahn Award for best left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. On November 13, 2008, Lee was awarded the AL Cy Young Award. This made Lee the second straight Indian (and third overall) to win the award, following former teammate CC Sabathia, who won it in 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Cleveland Indians (2002–09).:2009 season.

paragraph: On June 14, 2009, Lee pitched a no-hitter into the 8th inning in a game against St. Louis, striking out six and walking two. Lee allowed three hits in a complete-game shutout, improving his record to 4–6 and his ERA to 2.88.

paragraph: On July 29 (just before the July 31 trading deadline), the Indians traded Lee (along with outfielder Ben Francisco) to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, Lou Marson, and Jason Knapp.

paragraph: In his first game with the Philadelphia Phillies, Lee pitched a complete game and took a 5–1 victory. He pitched a no-hitter into the sixth inning and batted two hits, including his first career double and a run scored. Through his first five games with the Phillies, Lee compiled a 5–0 record, 39 strikeouts in 40 innings pitched, and a 0.68 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Philadelphia Phillies (2009).:2009 World Series.

paragraph: Charlie Manuel named Lee as the starting pitcher for the first game of the World Series. Lee had posted a 2–0 record in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Lee would be pitching against his former Indians teammate CC Sabathia.

paragraph: Lee pitched a complete game in Game 1 of the 2009 World Series, winning the game 6–1 against the New York Yankees. He allowed no earned runs during this outing. He was the first pitcher since Deacon Phillippe of the 1903 World Series to pitch a complete game in the World Series with ten or more strikeouts and no walks. However, Phillippe allowed two earned runs in his start, so Lee was the first to do so without allowing an earned run. In his next start (Game 5), Lee earned another victory, allowing five runs and three walks while striking out three in seven innings. The Phillies won the game 8–6. Despite winning both of his starts, the Phillies lost the series in six games.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Seattle Mariners (2010).

paragraph: On December 16, 2009, the Phillies traded Lee to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for J. C. Ramírez, Phillippe Aumont and Tyson Gillies.

paragraph: Lee appealed a five-game suspension imposed on him for throwing over the head of Chris Snyder during a spring training game. Both the suspension and the accompanying fine were overturned. Lee made his Mariners debut against the Texas Rangers on April 30, where he earned a no-decision in a 2–0 loss to the Rangers. He earned his first win with the Mariners on May 11, in a 5–1 win against the Baltimore Orioles. Lee pitched three consecutive complete games in June. He was picked to the 2010 AL All-Star team but attended as a Ranger. With the Mariners, Lee went 8–3 with a 2.34 ERA, an 0.945 WHIP, and an 89/6 K/BB ratio. Despite this, the Mariners were struggling, and Lee was placed on the trade market.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Texas Rangers (2010).

paragraph: On July 9, after a deal with the New York Yankees failed, Lee was traded to the Texas Rangers along with Mark Lowe in exchange for Justin Smoak and prospects Blake Beavan, Josh Lueke and Matt Lawson.

paragraph: On August 6, against the Oakland Athletics, Lee earned his 100th career win going eight innings and allowing only one run with seven strikeouts.

paragraph: Lee pitched Game 1 of the American League Division Series against Tampa Bay on October 6, 2010, the same day that Phillies' pitcher Roy Halladay pitched a no-hitter against the Reds in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. Lee pitched for seven innings. He gave up one run and struck out ten batters. There have been eight post-season pitching performances of at least ten strikeouts and no walks in baseball history, of which Lee has pitched the last four. Two of these were in the 2010 ALDS. In Game 5 of the series, Lee set the ALDS series strikeout record and tied the MLB record with 21 strikeouts. He pitched a complete game, striking out eleven batters and allowing one run, earning a win.

paragraph: Lee continued his postseason mastery into the 2010 ALCS, when he allowed just two hits while striking out thirteen New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in an 8–0 Texas victory in Game 3. Lee has also become the first person to pitch three 10-plus strikeout games in one post-season.

paragraph: However, facing the San Francisco Giants' Tim Lincecum in the 2010 World Series, Lee gave up seven runs (six earned) and did not make it through five innings. The Rangers lost the game 11–7. Lee faced Lincecum once again in Game 5 of the World Series with the Giants having a 3–1 series advantage. He gave up a three-run home run to Édgar Rentería, which resulted in a 3–1 loss and the Giants winning the series.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Return to Phillies (2011–2014).:2011 season.

paragraph: On December 15, 2010, Lee signed a five-year and $120 million free-agent contract with the Phillies. The contract also included a vesting option for a sixth year. He joined a pitching rotation consisting of Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels and Joe Blanton. Commentators called it one of the best rotations ever assembled. Halladay, Oswalt, Lee, and Hamels were dubbed the '"Phantastic Phour"' by fans and the media. In returning to the Phillies (despite the higher salary offered to him by the Yankees), Lee mentioned the chance to win a World Series ring, the strength of the staff, the chance to throw to a pitcher instead of a designated hitter in the National League, the regular sellouts, and the passion of the fans. He said "I never wanted to leave in the first place".

paragraph: In Lee's first game back with the Phillies on April 2, 2011, he pitched seven innings, allowing four hits and three runs, while striking out eleven and walking none. On May 6, in a game against the Atlanta Braves, he struck out a career-high 16 batters, allowing three runs in a 5–0 Philadelphia loss. On June 28, Lee pitched a third consecutive complete game shutout in a 5–0 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Lee was awarded the National League Pitcher of the Month award for June 2011. Lee went 5–0 and had a 0.21 ERA. Lee pitched three consecutive shutouts and 34 scoreless innings. By the end of the month, he had also personally outscored teams he opposed (he scored two runs in the month while only allowing one run).

paragraph: On July 9, Lee hit his first major league home run against Tommy Hanson of the Braves after a ten-pitch at-bat. Although the Phillies lost the game 4–1, it was the first home run by a Phillies pitcher since Chan Ho Park in April 2009. Lee then went on to hit his second major league home run on August 9 against Ted Lilly of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the same game, Lee also recorded his 17th career double-digit strikeout game, resulting in a 2–1 Phillies win.

paragraph: On September 26, 2011, Lee was the winning pitcher in a 4–2 game against the Braves. He pitched six innings, gave up five hits and two runs, struck out six, and walked none. He finished up the regular season with a 17–8 record, but more significantly helped the Phillies to a 100-win season. It marks the third time in franchise history that the Phillies have won 100 or more games in a season.

paragraph: He also led the MLB in shutouts with six, the most shutouts for any major league starter since Tim Belcher, who pitched eight shutouts in 1989 for the Dodgers.

paragraph: In the postseason, despite having the best regular season for a second year and again tipped to win the World Series, the Phillies were eliminated by the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLDS. Lee started Game 2 where he surrendered five runs, as the Cardinals made a comeback from a 4-0 deficit to win 5-4. The Cardinals eventually defeated Lee's former team, the Texas Rangers, in seven games to win the World Series.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Return to Phillies (2011–2014).:2012 season.

paragraph: Lee received poor run support throughout the entire 2012 season; particularly the first half. On April 18, in a game against the San Francisco Giants, Lee pitched ten shutout innings, but the Phillies eventually lost the game. On April 21, Lee was placed on the disabled list with an oblique strain. Despite pitching well throughout the spring, Lee didn't earn any wins until July 4 in a game against the New York Mets. He pitched eight innings, allowing two runs while striking out nine, resulting in a 9-2 road victory. Lee's streak of thirteen starts without any wins was the longest of any former Cy Young Award winner since Greg Maddux in 2008. On September 17, Lee recorded his 1,500th career strikeout in a game against the New York Mets. He finished the season 6-9, despite an ERA of 3.16 (which was below his career average) and the lowest walks per nine innings rate in the National League at 1.2.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Return to Phillies (2011–2014).:2013 season.

paragraph: Lee started the 2013 season as the Phillies' third starter. In his first start against the Braves, he pitched eight scoreless innings and earned a win with a 2-0 Phillies' victory. Lee was voted along with Domonic Brown to play in the 2013 MLB All-Star Game. He finished the season with a record of 14-8, an ERA of 2.87, 222 strikeouts, and a 1.3 BB/9 rate, which was, once again, amongst the best in the National League.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Return to Phillies (2011–2014).:2014 season.

paragraph: After Cole Hamels was sidelined with an injury, Lee was named the Phillies' opening day starter, starting against the Texas Rangers. He pitched five innings and earned a win, despite allowing eight runs. Lee was placed on the disabled list in May for a left elbow strain. He began to pitch again on June 10. He was removed from the disabled list on July 21, only to come out of a game early on July 31, once again experiencing elbow discomfort. Lee made 13 starts in 2014 going 4-5 with a 3.65 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Return to Phillies (2011–2014).:2015 season.

paragraph: On March 16, 2015, Lee was placed on the 60-day disabled list to start the 2015 season due to a left common flexor tendon tear, and missed the 2015 season. After the season, the Phillies declined his $27.5 million option, paying him a $12.5 million buyout and making him a free agent.

paragraph: Section::::Professional baseball career.:Return to Phillies (2011–2014).:2016 season.

paragraph: On February 23, 2016, Lee's agent Darek Braunecker told Fox Sports that a return to pitching for Lee would take "a perfect situation", indicating that the offer he wanted was not forthcoming.

paragraph: Section::::Pitching style.

paragraph: Lee's repertoire included two fastballs (four-seam, two-seam) that reached 90-93 mph, an 85-88 mph cut fastball, an occasional slider, as well as a circle changeup and a curveball.

paragraph: Lee usually appeared stoic and confident on the mound. It was considered one of his greatest attributes when pitching in pressure situations.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Lee and his wife, Kristen, have a son, Jaxon, and a daughter, Maci. Jaxon was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of four months, but after undergoing treatments, is currently in remission. The family now lives in Lee's home state, Arkansas.

paragraph: Aurea of Ostia

paragraph: Saint Aurea of Ostia (or "Aura"; in Greek, "Chryse"; both names mean “golden girl”) is venerated as the patron saint of Ostia. According to one scholar, “[a]lthough the acta of Saint Aurea are pious fiction, she was a genuine martyr with a very early cultus at Ostia.”

paragraph: According to tradition, she was martyred sometime during the mid-third century, either during the reign of Roman Emperor Claudius Gothicus or Trebonianus Gallus. Said to have been of royal or noble blood, Aurea was exiled from Rome to Ostia because she was a Christian. In Ostia, she lived on an estate outside of the city walls and maintained contact with local Christians, including the bishop of Ostia, Cyriacus (Quiriacus).

paragraph: Miracles associated with Aurea while she was in Ostia relate how a Christian prisoner named Censorinus had his chains miraculously loosened after he had been comforted by Aurea. Seventeen soldiers converted to Christianity as a result of this miracle, and were later beheaded near Ostia's Arch of Caracalla. Another legend states that Aurea and her friends also brought back to life the dead son of a shoemaker. Ulpius Romulus executed Aurea’s friends and tortured Aurea. When she refused to sacrifice to the Roman gods, she was thrown into the sea with a stone tied around her neck.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: According to tradition, Aurea was buried on her estate in Ostia. The church of Santa Aurea grew around her tomb. The church was rebuilt in the 15th century. A fragment of a Christian inscription that refers to Aurea was rediscovered near Santa Aurea in 1981 and later relocated to the castle of Ostia. It reads: "CHRYSE HIC DORM[IT]" ("Chryse sleeps here"). "It may be her original funerary inscription," one scholar states, "but it may also have been added later to the tomb." A marble column from perhaps the 5th century was discovered in 1950 near the same church. It reads "S.AVR."

paragraph: Ray Griff

paragraph: John Raymond David Griff (April 22, 1940 – March 9, 2016) was a Canadian country music singer and songwriter, born in Vancouver and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His songwriting credits reached over 2500 songs, many of which were recorded by Nashville's top recording artists.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: John Raymond David Griff was born in 1940 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He was raised in Winfield, Alberta. Griff began songwriting in the early 1960s and had early cuts by Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves, and others. Griff moved to Nashville in 1964 to pursue his music career full-time. His first records as a singer were released in the late 1960s and Griff had his first hit, "Patches", a remake of the Clarence Carter soul hit in 1970 which peaked at No. 26 in "Billboard". Griff recorded for the small country label Royal American and later moved on to Dot Records without much success. His stint at Capitol Records from 1975-1979 proved more successful, racking up eight more country top 40 hits, the most successful being 1976's "If I Let Her Come In" which peaked at No. 11.

paragraph: Griff's success as a songwriter, however, always overshadowed his recording work with over 700 songs recorded, including the major hits "Canadian Pacific" for George Hamilton IV, "Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano" for Jerry Lee Lewis, and "Baby" for Wilma Burgess. Others who had major hit records with Griff songs include Faron Young, Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton, Bob Luman, Gene Watson, and Johnny Duncan.

paragraph: Fatimah bint Musa

paragraph: Fātimah bint Mūsā al-Kādhim (), commonly known as Fātimah al-Ma‘sūmah () or Fatemeh Ma'sumeh (, "Fatimah the Innocent"), Masuma-e-Qum (), and Hadrat Masumah (1st Dhul Qi‘dah 173 AH – 10th or 12th of Rabī’ al-Thānī 201 AH; approximately March 22, 790 CE – November 7 or 9, 816 CE), was the daughter of the seventh Twelver Shī‘ah Imām, Mūsā' al-Kādhim and sister of the eighth Twelver Shī‘ah Imām, ‘Ali ar-Ridhā. Every year, thousands of Shi'i Muslims travel to Qom to honor Fatima Masumeh at her shrine.

paragraph: Section::::Fatima Masumeh's character.

paragraph: Despite having been infallible, Fatima Masumeh is not considered one of the 14 most holy figures in Shia Islam. Yet, her brother Imam Ali al-Ridha gave her the title "Masumeh", which means infallible or sinless. In Shi'ism, women either become saints by their own merits or because they are the sisters, daughters, or wives of other saints. Fatima Masumeh is a saint because of her own holiness and wisdom. She is said to have been learned in various Islamic sciences and the teachings of Muhammad, and to have transmitted many hadiths from her family members. Fatima Masumeh is also a saint because of her closeness to her brother, the 8th Shi'i Imam 'Ali al-Rida and her father, the 7th Shi'i Imam Musa al-Kadhim.

paragraph: Fatima Masumeh is honored in many hadiths, or teachings, from Shi'i Imams that proclaim the benevolence of visiting her shrine in Qom. Her brother Imam 'Ali al-Rida stated that visiting the shrine of Fatima Masumeh is equal to visiting him, demonstrating his honor of his sister. Other Imams declare that anyone who visits Fatima Masumeh's shrine will surely go to heaven. More miracles are reported to occur at her shrine in Qom than at the burial place of any other prophet or imam.

paragraph: Section::::History of Fatima Masumeh.

paragraph: It is written that even before she was born, Shi'i Imams foretold Fatima Masumeh's holiness and piety. Fatima was born into Shi'i legacy, raised under the care of two Imams - her father and her brother - and she is said to have absorbed their knowledge and holiness. Fatima Masumeh was born in Medina in 173 AH and spent the first six years of her life learning alongside her father, Imam Musa al-Kadhim. Scholars have written that she had a "special gift" of knowledge and spiritual awareness, even in childhood. When she was ten years old, Harun al-Rashid, the 5th caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate sent her father to prison. This separation was very difficult for Fatima, but her brother 'Ali was 25 years her senior and took care of her.

paragraph: 'Ali and Fatima are among Imam Musa al-Kadhim's 37 children, but they are the only two children from the Imam's marriage to Najmah Khatun. Their mother was a former slave from North Africa who became very learned in Islamic teachings under the guidance of Imam Musa al-Kadim's mother, Lady Hamidah. Ali would later become the 8th Imam and gain the title Imam 'Ali al-Rida. The historian al-Tabari states that 'Al-Rida' means "The One Well-pleasing [to God] from the House of Muhammad." He was appointed successor to the Abassid Caliph al-Mamun, though he was hesitant in accepting this role. As 'Ali al-Rida gained the title of "Crowned Prince" , some people refused to accept his role amidst civil war. 'Ali al-Rida revealed the extent of this revolt to al-Mamun, stating that people considered him(al-mamun) "bewitched and mentally deranged," were hiding reports from him, and had given their allegiance to his paternal uncle Ibrahim bint al-Madhi instead of him.

paragraph: In 200 AH, al-Mamun called for 'Ali al-Rida to leave for Khorasan and Fatima Masumeh was forced to live apart from her brother. After one year of separation from her brother, Fatima Masumeh decided to join him. She did not leave solely because of her wish to live near her brother; scholars also suggest that Fatima Masumeh's knowledge and religiosity would help her brother in his political office, especially in decisions regarding women. In 201 AH she set off in a caravan of 23 family and friends of Imam 'Ali al-Rida, alongside another caravan of 12,000 people traveling to Khorasan. The caravans never made it to Khorasan, though, and Fatima Masumeh never reached her brother. They were attacked by agents of the caliph while at Saveh; some fled, but many were wounded, taken prisoner, or killed. Fatima Masumeh survived, but was forced to watch the murders of 23 close family members and friends. It is written that Fatima Masumeh was then poisoned by a woman. Fatima became ill and asked to be taken to Qom, where she died and was buried in her host's land.

paragraph: Section::::Birth predictions.

paragraph: There are two reports recorded from two different people that Imam Ja`far al-Sādiq predicted the birth of Fatima. Both predictions mention that she will intercede on behalf of the Shi` a or help gain admittance to Heaven by visiting her Shrine. These two predictions were also made before her father was born as well, so about 45 years before her birth.

paragraph: Lady Hamīdah was the mother of Fatima’s father as well as the owner of Fatima’s mother, Lady Najmah. Lady Hamīdah had a dream that the Prophet told her that Najmah needed to become the wife of her son, so that she could birth “the best people in the world”. While Hamīdah was more focused on the son, Imam al-Ridā, she would birth Fatima also as a product of the marriage.

paragraph: Robert McCall (figure skater)

paragraph: Robert "Rob" McCall, CM (September 14, 1958 – November 15, 1991) was a Canadian ice dancer. With partner Tracy Wilson, he was the 1988 Olympic bronze medalist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: McCall was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He moved to Toronto when he teamed up with Tracy Wilson.

paragraph: McCall competed with Marie McNeil early in his career. They were the 1975 Canadian novice silver medalists, 1977 Canadian junior national champions, 1978 & 1979 Canadian senior bronze medalists, 1980 silver medalists, and the 1981 national champions. They placed 13th at the 1980 World Figure Skating Championships and the 1981 World Figure Skating Championships.

paragraph: Following that season, McCall teamed up with Tracy Wilson and skated with her until his death. They were the 1982-1988 Canadian national champions and three-time World bronze medalists. They placed 8th at the 1984 Winter Olympics and won the bronze medal at the 1988 Winter Olympics.

paragraph: They turned professional in 1988 and skated professionally together. They toured with Stars On Ice, and won the World Professional Figure Skating Championships in 1989.

paragraph: In 1988, Wilson and McCall were made a Member of the Order of Canada.

paragraph: In March 1990, McCall became critically ill with pneumonia in Portland, Maine while touring in a show with Brian Boitano and Katarina Witt, and was diagnosed with AIDS. He initially kept the nature of his illness a secret because he hoped to be able to continue to skate professionally in the United States, which at that time had restrictive immigration and customs laws barring persons with AIDS. However, his health deteriorated and he died of AIDS-related brain cancer on November 15, 1991 at age 33. It was an open secret that he was gay.

paragraph: In 2018 McCall was named one of the greatest 15 athletes in Nova Scotia's history.

paragraph: Christian Friele

paragraph: Christian Frederik Gotfried Friele (22 May 182124 January 1899) was a Norwegian newspaper editor. Born in Bergen to a prosperous family, he received a deficient education, but managed nevertheless to find his way into the conservative "Morgenbladet" newspaper. As its editor-in-chief, he became known for his wit and sharp-tongued remarks; he ruthlessly derided key contemporary political figures as "clerical lutefisk" and "royal stable jacks". In the 1884 impeachment case against Prime Minister Christian August Selmer, Friele sided with Selmer, and retreated from his position as editor of "Morgenbladet" following the court's verdict. Firmly believing that orders of merit would compromise his integrity as editor, he twice declined the offer of being rewarded the Order of St. Olav.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Friele was born to the merchant Ole Morup Friele (1790–1852) and his wife Louise Engelche Bohr (1797–1869) in the West-Norwegian city of Bergen on 22 May 1821. The family was relatively wealthy; consequently Friele did not experience the wretched living conditions of many of his contemporaries. His birthplace had a profound impact on his later life; the writer and poet Johan Sebastian Welhaven – also from Bergen – taught him how to fine-tune Bergen-style sarcasms, for which Friele became feared in his later editorship.

paragraph: He enrolled in law studies in 1838, at the age of 17. A not very assiduous student, he used 13 years to collect his law diploma – other students typically took three to four years. During his studies he befriended the playwright Henrik Ibsen and the author Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson – the former he was allowed to address with the informal second-person pronoun "Du". Despite his long tuition, Friele was not considered erudite by his contemporaries; rumor had it that he had never read a book or seen a play.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and editorship.

paragraph: Upon finishing his law studies, he was employed as a journalist for the "Christiania-Posten" newspaper. In 1854 he succeeded Bjørnson as parliamentary referee of "Morgenbladet"; this change of roles angered Bjørnson, who later would write a scornful play directed at Friele. On 12 December 1860, Friele married Marie Cathrine Lasson (1827–1909), daughter of the jurist Peder Carl Lasson (1798–1873) and his wife Ottilia Pauline Christine von Munthe af Morgenstierne (1804–86); the marriage was happy but childless.

paragraph: Upon Adolf Bredo Stabell's 1865 death, Friele advanced to the chief editor position in "Morgenbladet". During his editorship, which lasted until 1893, he mocked contemporary politicians in his venomous and quick-witted articles; he was known through the city for his sharp pen. His inferior education was however of no hindrance; a biographer once commented: "The inadequacies in his studies gave his beliefs a steadfast grounding they otherwise would have lacked". As editor of Norway's chief conservative organ, Friele championed the politicians of the Stang family and reviled their political adversaries; he once called the liberal politician Ketil Motzfeldt a "polemic Ishmael".

paragraph: Despite his tendency to ridicule his political enemies, Friele exercised considerable editorial discretion, in the view of his biographer Olaf Gjerløw. Having an aristocratic disdain for gossip, he once rejected an offer to publish a story on a liberal politician's licentiousness. "My esteemed Gentleman, I think the libidos are quite evenly distributed between the parties", he told the tattler. Friele's career as editor culminated with the 1880s impeachment case against Prime Minister Christian August Selmer. The Liberal Party attempted to get rid of the "senior official government" through the legal system; however, it needed 72 mandates to win a majority in the Lagting and call for an impeachment. The party won the subsequent election in a landslide, and proceeded to the court on 18 May 1883. The debate surrounding the impeachment case was dominated by Friele and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, the former who devoted page up and page down in "Morgenbladet" to the proceedings, and the latter who wrote vehement letters from Paris. The whole commotion ended with Selmer being sentenced to leave his office; he stepped down on 8 March. Friele was infuriated, and condemned King Oscar II for an alleged coup d'état. After this defeat, Friele resigned from his editor position in "Morgenbladet", curtly stating to his successor Nils Vogt: "Oh my, how this paper regresses". Nevertheless, he kept editing the newspaper until 1893.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Friele was twice in his life offered a knighthood of the Order of St. Olav; he rejected both offers. The first time he turned down the offer with the words: "Editor of the Royal Norwegian Morgenbladet, what? No safer way to compromise the position of the paper and its editor!"; the second with the words: "Would your Majesty force me to leave the country?".

paragraph: He died on 24 January 1899 in Kristiania and was buried in Vår Frelsers gravlund together with his wife. Friele occurs rather frequently in the contemporary literature: Ibsen's character Daniel Heire has acquired some properties from Friele; Knut Hamsun describes him briefly in "Hunger"; in Alexander Kielland's "Arbeidsfolk" he receives contemptuous treatment; and Bjørnson wrote a play titled "Redaktøren" ("the Editor") in which Friele is the protagonist. The conservative politician C. J. Hambro described him thus:

paragraph: Men with greater names and with higher status in history are forgotten and will remain so. Christian Friele will be remembered; the memory and the myth have glossed his name and mitigated the sharp echo it once had. He is the first man in Norwegian history who will be remembered for being a journalist.
