paragraph: Mary Hayes Houghton

paragraph: Mary Hayes Houghton (March 26, 1837 – November 12, 1921) was an American journalist.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Houghton was born Mary Hayes in Penfield, Ohio to Western Reserve pioneer parents from New England on March 26, 1837. The eldest daughter of a large family, her school life was frequently interrupted by ill-health. Despite her health issues her reading and study went on, covering a large range in history, philosophy and literature.

paragraph: She married John Wesley Houghton, a writer and medical doctor, in 1874.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: From the age of eighteen years, Houghton had written for publications and her connection with the press served to give variety, breadth and finish to her composition. The bulk of her literary work was anonymously written, and some of it was widely copied. She actively identified with multiple organizations that were at various times religious, reformatory and literary. She was president of a woman's club and also a member of the Ohio Woman's Press Association. In addition, she was also a member of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, and a founding member of both the Woman’s Home and the Foreign Missionary Societies.

paragraph: In 1876, two years after their marriage, John Houghton became proprietor of "The Wellington Enterprise" and Mary was his assistant editor. Though she was characterized in an 1897 biographical sketch as an “editorial assistant” to her husband, he later wrote in a family history that she was his “assistant editor” and “contributed the larger share of copy” (Houghton Genealogy, pg. 142). After nine years, the paper was sold due to John Houghton's failing health in 1885.

paragraph: Nanbu Toshitada

paragraph: Toshitada was the second son of the disinherited Nanbu Toshinori, the eldest son of the 8th "daimyō" of Morioka, Nanbu Toshikatsu. His mother was a commoner and a widow, and there were later allegations that he may not have been of Nanbu blood at all. In any event, on the death of his father in 1814, he went into the Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist priesthood. He returned to secular life in 1820 by order of the domain government and served as advisor to the young Nanbu Toshimochi, who subsequently appointed him as heir. Toshimochi was of poor health and died in 1825, so in accordance with his wishes, Toshitada became "daimyō" of Morioka. He was received in formal audience by "shōgun" Tokugawa Ienari who awarded him with the courtesy title of "Shinano-no-kami" and junior 4th court rank, lower grade. In 1827, he was promoted to the honorary title of "Jijū" (Chamberlain).

paragraph: Toshitada implemented a wide range of fiscal improvements, sponsored new industries and took steps to improve the domain's military forces. His quick actions and the poor state of the domain's finances caused much disaffection among his retainers and also led to a peasant revolt in 1836.

paragraph: In 1839, he was promoted to the higher courtesy title of "Sashōshō" and in 1841 opened a han school. However, the domain erupted into widespread revolt against his rule in 1847. In 1848, he stepped down in favor of his son Nanbu Toshitomo; however, relations between father and son were very strained at best, and Toshitada continued to intervene and interfere in domain politics after his retirement. He then forced his son aside in 1848, making Toshitomo’s younger brother Nanbu Toshihisa nominal "daimyō" while he continued to rule in all but name. This led to another widespread revolt in 1854, which caused the Tokugawa shogunate to intervene. He was placed under house arrest at the clan’s Edo "shimoyashiki", where he died a few months later on 29 May 1855.

paragraph: Edith Sarah Louisa Boulton

paragraph: Edith Sarah Louisa Boulton (1847 – November 14, 1912) was a Canadian philanthropist and imperialist.

paragraph: The daughter of James Boulton, a barrister, and Margaret Neilina Fortye, she was born in Toronto. Her grandfather D’Arcy Boulton had been attorney-general for Upper Canada.

paragraph: In 1871, Boulton married Toronto businessman Samuel Nordheimer; the couple had eight daughters and three sons. She contributed to various Toronto institutions including the Infants' Home, the Hillcrest Convalescent Hospital, the Ladies' Work Depository, the Working Boys' Home, the Children's Aid Society and St. James’ Cathedral. Boulton also served on the board of governors for the Victorian Order of Nurses, was president of the local Red Cross Society and helped found the Female Immigrants Receiving Home. In 1904, she became vice-president of the Toronto South African Memorial Association.

paragraph: The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) was established in Toronto in 1901 by a group of Ontario women with Boulton serving as its national president. The Federation of the Daughters of the Empire had been founded in Montreal the previous year but it was later decided to relocate the head office and change the name of the organization. The aim of the IODE was to promote closer ties between Canada and the British Empire. Boulton was a skilled organizer even if somewhat autocratic by nature; under her leadership the organization grew to 10,000 members with chapters across Canada and in the United States, The Bahamas, Bermuda, the Dominion of Newfoundland and India. After dissatisfaction with a delegation sent to England to attend the coronation of George V, she resigned as president in 1911 but was named patroness of the order the following year.

paragraph: The couple lived in a 35 room mansion known as Glen Edyth, once considered "the finest private house in Toronto" but since demolished to allow the construction of new homes, which was located on a 25 acre estate. The current Glen Edyth Drive was originally a carriageway for the estate.

paragraph: She died in Toronto at the age of 65. She was named a Lady of Grace of the Order of St John of Jerusaleml.

paragraph: The children of Edith Boulton and Samuel Nordheimer were Stuart Fitzroy Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1872), Julia Melina Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1874), Samuel Max Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1876), Athol Gordon Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1877), Adeline Matilda Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1878), Edith Vera Boulton Nordheimer and Errol Louisa Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1879 - twins), Cecil Evelyn Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1881), May Estelle Boulton Nordheimer (b. 1883), G. Roy Boulton Nordheimer and Albert Boulton Nordheimer.

paragraph: William I de La Marck

paragraph: William de la Marck (1446–1485) was an adventurer of German extraction. He became an important character in the late 15th century in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. William's was nicknamed "Le Sanglier des Ardennes" (The Wild Boar of the Ardennes)— because he was as fierce as the wild boar which he delighted to hunt.

paragraph: In 1482, he had Louis de Bourbon, Bishop of Liège, assassinated, in order to replace him by his own son Jean de la Marck. He failed to have Jean accepted, and the next bishop was John of Hornes. This act led to a civil war in the prince-bishopric.

paragraph: On 21 May 1484, a treaty was signed at Tongeren, whereby the de la Marck family forfeited its claims to the bishopric and supported Liège's struggle against Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor for the reward of 30,000 livres. Bouillon castle was mortgaged to William de la Marck until the time of repayment.

paragraph: In 1485, he was ambushed near Sint-Truiden and taken to Maastricht, where he was beheaded on 18 June 1485.

paragraph: William's cousin Erard de la Marck became prince-bishop from 1506 until 1538.

paragraph: His great-grandson William II de la Marck was an important leader of the Gueux de mer in the Eighty Years' War.

paragraph: Section::::Cultural influences.

paragraph: He is described by Sir Walter Scott as "William, Count of la Marck", in "Quentin Durward".

He also spent significant time as a pinch hitter.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Stein was born on January 21, 1947, in Battle Creek, Michigan. Stein attended Brevard Community College when he was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles during the 33 round of the 1968 Major League Baseball draft. Stein did not sign with the Orioles. He began attending Southern Illinois University in 1969. As a member of the school's baseball team, he batted .396 and was named an All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:St. Louis Cardinals.

paragraph: In 1969, Stein began his professional baseball career in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league organization. The Cardinals assigned him to the Tulsa Oilers, who were their Triple-A affiliates at the time. With the Oilers, Stein batted .295 with 24 runs scored, 54 hits, 11 doubles, five triples, one home run, and 20 runs batted in (RBIs) in 62 games played. Defensively, Stein played 31 games at second base, 14 games at third base, and five games at shortstop. During the 1970 season, the Cardinals assigned Stein to the Double-A level to play with the Arkansas Travelers of the Texas League. In 114 games played that year, he batted .289 with 124 hits, 21 doubles, two triples, and eight home runs. In the field, Stein played second base and outfield. In 1971, Stein was promoted to the Triple-A level. He spent the entire season with the Tulsa Oilers, where he batted .272 with 50 runs scored, 106 hits, 106 hits, 22 doubles, four triples, eight home runs, and 67 RBIs in 103 games played. Stein pitched a game that season, after Tulsa's starting pitcher was ejected from the game after throwing the ball at the umpire. In six innings, he gave-up eight hits, and three runs (all earned). He played the majority of the season in the outfield, but also spent limited time at third base, first base, and shortstop.

paragraph: To start the 1972 season, Stein was a member of the Triple-A Tulsa Oilers. With Tulsa that year, he batted .278 with 100 hits, 26 doubles, four triples, five home runs, and 36 RBIs in 103 games played. Stein was a September call-up for the St. Louis cardinals that year. He made his debut in Major League Baseball (MLB) on September 6, 1972, against the Philadelphia Phillies. He got his first hit in that game, which was a home run in the ninth inning. He played 14 games in the majors that year, batting .314 with two runs scored, 11 hits, one triple, two home runs, and three RBIs. Defensively in the majors, he was positioned at third base, left field, and right field.

paragraph: During spring training in 1973, the "Sarasota Herald-Tribune" labeled Stein as the Cardinals candidate for pinch hitting off the bench. He made the Cardinals Opening Day roster that year. He made his season debut on April 6 as a pinch hitter, going hitless in one at-bat against the Pittsburgh Pirates. His first hit of the season came on April 17, against the Pirates. In August, Stein was sent down to the minor leagues and was replaced on the Cardinals major league roster by outfielder Héctor Cruz. In the minors, he played with the Triple-A Tulsa Oilers, where he batted .289 with 23 hits, two doubles, and one triple in 21 games played. While in the majors that season, Stein compiled a .218 batting average with four runs scored, 12 hits, two doubles, and two RBIs in 32 games played. On defense with the Cardinals, he played right field, left field, third base, and first base.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Chicago White Sox.

paragraph: On September 25, Stein was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the California Angels in exchange for Jerry DaVanon. California then traded Stein to the Chicago White Sox on April 3, 1974, before he made an appearance in the Angels organization. In return, the White Sox sent Steve Blateric to California. Stein started the 1974 season in the White Sox minor league system with the Triple-A Iowa Oaks. In 135 games with Iowa, he batted .326 with 107 runs scored, 178 hits, 32 doubles, eight triples, 16 home runs, and 76 RBIs. Stein led the American Association in hits; was second in runs scored, plate appearances (594), at-bats (554), and doubles; and was tied for second in triples. He was called up by Chicago in September. Stein made his season debut on September 13, against the California Angels, getting no hits in four at-bats. His first hit of the season came the day after, against California. In the majors that year, Stein batted .276 with five runs scored, 12 hits, one double, and five RBIs in 13 games played.

paragraph: Stein spent his first full season in the majors during the 1975 season. His season debut came on April 16, against the Texas Rangers, where in one at-bat he went hitless. In June, Stein was named the starting third baseman after Bill Melton, who was Chicago's regular third baseman, was benched for poor hitting. Stein also played back-up for second baseman Jorge Orta over the season. On July 20, in the second game of a doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers, Stein hit his first career grand slam. On the season, Stein batted .270 with 23 runs scored, 61 hits, seven doubles, one triple, three home runs, and 21 RBIs in 76 games played. In the field, he played 28 games at second base, 24 games at second base, and one game in left field. Stein also played 18 games that year at the designated hitter spot in the lineup.

paragraph: Stein played his final season with the Chicago White Sox in 1976. On August 17, in the first game of a doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, he hit a game-winning single in the ninth inning to score Pat Kelly. In August, United Press International noted that it was the first time in his major league career that Stein was getting a chance to start regularly. During the season, he compiled a .268 batting average with 32 runs scored, 105 hits, 15 doubles, two triples, four home runs, and 36 RBIs in 117 games played. Stien played 58 games at second base, 58 games at third base, one game at first base, one game in right field, and one game at shortstop. He was also the designated hitter in one game during that season.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Seattle Mariners.

paragraph: During the 1976 Major League Baseball expansion draft, Stein was selected by the Seattle Mariners, who took him with their third pick in the draft. Stein stated he was "glad" that the Mariners drafted him, because he did not like playing at Comiskey Park, the home of his previous team, the Chicago White Sox. He was profiled by the Associated Press during spring training in 1977, and was interviewed about his new team and his unique versatility in the field. Stein mentioned to the reporter that although he had played a wide variety of positions in the past, he hoped he would get a chance to be the Mariners starting third baseman. In a win against the Boston Red Sox on May 3, Stein hit two home runs in the same game. In June, Stein commented on how he liked starting every day at third base for the Mariners. The Mariners manager, Darrell Johnson, Praised Stein for playing "good ball" with Seattle. On July 8, in a game against the Minnesota Twins, Stein had another two-home run performance, his second of the season. In early-September, Stein got hit in the shoulder by a baseball, which was later revealed to have caused a hairline fracture. With the Mariners that year, he batted .259 with 53 runs scored, 144 hits, 26 doubles, five triples, 13 home runs, and 67 RBIs in 151 games played. Defensively, the vast majority of his games (147) were played at third base, but he also played limited time at shortstop. He led the American League in putouts by a third baseman with 146. Stein was also fifth in the league in defensive games at third base.

paragraph: Before the start of the 1978 season, Stein re-signed with the Seattle Mariners. His contract meant he was now signed through the 1980 season. In May 1978, he bruised his left hand, which caused him to miss some playing time. On August 25, he broke up Dennis Martínez's potential no-hitter in the seventh inning of a game against the Baltimore Orioles. On August 28, in a game against the Boston Red Sox, Stein had a season-high four hits. On the season, he batted .261 with 41 runs scored, 105 hits, 24 doubles, four triples, four home runs, and 37 RBIs in 114 games played. In the field, Stein played 67 games at third base, 17 games at second base, and three games at shortstop. His 24 errors at third base was second in the American League.

paragraph: Early into the 1979 season, Stein was placed on the disabled list after suffering a rib injury. Charlie Beamon, Jr. was called up from the minor leagues to replace Stein during his injury. In late June, the Mariners activated Stein from the disabled list. By the time he had returned, the Mariners had already positioned Dan Meyer at his position, so Stein filled in at second base during his first game back. That year, Stein batted .248 with 28 runs scored, 62 hits, nine doubles, two triples, seven home runs, and 27 RBIs in 88 games played. As a fielder, he played 67 games at third base, 17 games at second base, and three games at shortstop.

paragraph: Stein's final season with the Seattle Mariners would come in 1980. On April 29, against the Minnesota Twins, Stein had a season high four hit game. He matched that high on July 26, against the Toronto Blue Jays. On July 28, Stein broke up a no-hit bid by Cleveland Indians pitcher Len Barker. In his final season with the Mariners, Stein batted .268 with 16 runs scored, 53 hits, five doubles, one triple, five home runs, and 27 RBIs in 67 games played. Defensively, he played 34 games at third base, 14 games at second base, and eight games at first base. He also played five games that season as Seattle's designated hitter.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Texas Rangers.

paragraph: In December 1980, Stein was signed as a free agent by the Texas Rangers. Stein made his Rangers debut on April 14, 1981, against the Cleveland Indians. In that game, he got one hit in two at-bats. In May, Stein set an American League record by recording seven consecutive pinch hits. Through June, Stein had a .441 batting average. On the season, Stein batted .330 with 21 runs scored, 38 hits, six doubles, two home runs, and 22 RBIs in 53 games played. In the field, he played 20 games at first base, seven games at third base, seven games in left field, three games at second base, one game in right field, and one game at shortstop.

paragraph: On April 16, 1982, in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Stein hit a game-winning double in the top of the ninth inning. In June, while playing against his former team, the Seattle Mariners, Stein praised their pitching staff. In 85 games that year, Stein batted .239, the lowest average of his career since the 1972 season where he played with the St. Louis Cardinals. He also compiled 14 runs scored, 44 hits, eight doubles, one home run, and 16 RBIs. In the field, he played 34 games at second base, 28 games at third base, six games at shortstop, two games at first base, and one game in left field. Stein also was the designated hitter during three games.

paragraph: In March 1983, Stein praised the Texas Rangers new manager, Doug Rader, for working on the game in a "serious" way. On May 18, in a game against the Cleveland Indians, Stein was brought in as a pinch hitter during the 14 inning, and proceeded to get the game-winning hit for the Rangers. With Texas that year, he batted .310 with 21 runs scored, 72 hits, 15 doubles, one triple, two home runs, and 33 RBIs in 78 games played. Stein played the majority of his games at second base, but also played first base and third base. He was used as the Rangers designated hitter in six contests that year. After the season, Stein spoke out against a transaction that the Rangers made, trading Jim Sundberg to the Milwaukee Brewers, calling him a "mainstay of the organization".

paragraph: In 1984, the Associated Press stated that Stein was one of the American League's best pinch hitters. Early into the season, he injured his wrist, which caused him to miss some playing time. In mid-June, the Rangers activated him from the disabled list. On the season, Stein batted .279 with three runs scored, 12 hits, one double and three RBIs in 27 games played. Stein played 11 games at second base, three games at first base, and three games at third base. He also spent four games as the Rangers designated hitter.

paragraph: Before the 1985 season, it was announced that the Texas Rangers had traded Stein to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a player to be named later, pending a physical. The Pirates later canceled the trade after team doctors discovered a "probable disc problem" in his back. Rumors then circulated that it was possible that Steins' career would be ended by the injury. However, Stein did play 44 games with the Rangers that season, batting .253 with five runs scored, 20 hits, three doubles, one triple, one home run, and 12 RBIs. He played 11 games at third base, eight games at first base, three games at second base, and three games in right field. Stein was the team's designated hitter in six games that year. In his final season in the majors, he earned a salary of $250,000 ($ inflation adjusted). At the end of the season, Texas announced that it would not re-sign Stein. Through an agent, Stein commented that if he could not play for Texas in the upcoming season, he would retire.

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.

paragraph: In 1987, Stein coached the Rockledge High School baseball team, leading them a district title with a 17–11 record. Stein was hired as the manager of the Class A-Short Season Little Falls Mets of the New York–Penn League in 1988. Little Falls were minor league affiliates of the New York Mets. In his first professional season as a manager, Stein led Little Falls to a 39–36 record. Stein commented that when he became a manager it was difficult to learn pitching after all the years of being a position player. In 1989, the New York Mets fired Butch Hobson, the manager of the Class-A Columbia Mets, and promoted Stein to that position. At the helm of Colombia that year, Stein led them to a 73–67 record. He also served as a player-coach with the Orlando Juice of the Senior Professional Baseball Association in 1989.

paragraph: Antwaan Randle El

paragraph: Antwaan Randle El (; born August 17, 1979) is an American football coach and former player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for nine seasons. He is currently an offensive assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He attended Indiana University where he played college football for the Indiana Hoosiers, and also played basketball and baseball as well. He is currently the sideline reporter for the Big Ten Network for interconference games that the Indiana football team plays.

paragraph: Following four years at Indiana, Randle El was chosen in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft, by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Playing with the Steelers for four seasons, he was active in all 64 regular season games with 23 starts, finding success as a wide receiver, kick returner and punt returner. He was also instrumental in a number of trick plays, including throwing a touchdown pass as a wide receiver for the Steelers in Super Bowl XL against the Seattle Seahawks, the only wide receiver in Super Bowl history to do so. After the 2005 NFL season, Randle El was signed as a free agent to the Washington Redskins. As a receiver for the Redskins, he scored ten touchdowns, catching eight and throwing two. In 2007, Randle El was sidelined for a game against the Buffalo Bills with a hamstring injury, to date being his only inactive game.

paragraph: Randle El was released by the Redskins in March 2010, re-signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers shortly after. Randle El was also named fifth in "USA Today"'s All-Decade kick returners.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Randle El was born in Riverdale, Illinois as the son of Curtis Randle El Sr., a food distributor, and Jacqueline, a day-care provider. Randle El was raised a Pentecostal Christian. A Chicago Bears fan, he attended Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. He was a high school teammate of former NFL linebacker Napoleon Harris, as well as NBA center Melvin Ely and former NFL wide receiver Tai Streets.

paragraph: After graduating from Thornton Township in 1997, Randle El was drafted in the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft, selected in the 14th round (424th overall) by the Chicago Cubs. He opted instead to pursue a football scholarship at Indiana University, despite being told he was too small during the recruiting process.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Randle El attended Indiana University from 1998 to 2001, playing college football primarily as a quarterback. Due to a low SAT score, he sat out his first full technical year at Indiana as a partial academic qualifier. Playing for the first time in Indiana's 1998 season opener against the Western Michigan Broncos, Randle El completed 22-of-29 passing attempts for 385 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions, as well as rushing for 82 yards on 23 carries for three touchdowns. The Hoosiers would go on to win the game, 45–30, with Randle El's 467 yards breaking the NCAA freshman total offense record in his first collegiate game. His performance was also the third all-time highest passing yards in a single game for Indiana, and would earn Randle El the co-Big Ten Player of the Week award. In the same season, Randle El would lead the team to victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes on October 17, 1998, with a rushing touchdown in the final seconds of the game. The win came after a 62–0 loss to Iowa the previous season, making Indiana the first team in the history of the Big Ten Conference to lose to a team by more than 60 points in one season, and beat them the following year. Randle El would win the Big Ten Player of the Week award for a second time for his performance. On December 1, 1998, Randle El was announced as the winner of the 1998 Big Ten Freshman of the Year award, voted for by both Conference coaches and the media. The award was later re-titled the "Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year" award, partly in honor of Randle El's successful college career. Over the course of the 1998 season, Randle El tallied four 100-yard rushing games, against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Michigan Wolverines, the Michigan State Spartans, and the Cincinnati Bearcats. He finished the season and his freshman year with 1,745 passing yards and six touchdowns, as well as 873 yards rushing as a quarterback, breaking the Indiana University season record.

paragraph: While at Indiana, Randle El became the first player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 40 career touchdowns and score 40 career rushing touchdowns. In 2001, he was awarded the "Chicago Tribune" Silver Football, presented by the "Chicago Tribune" to the Most Valuable Player of the Big Ten Conference. He finished his collegiate career as fifth on the all-time NCAA total yardage list, and became the first player in college football history to record 2,500 total yards for each of four consecutive years. Tallying 7,469 passing yards, 3,895 rushing yards, and 92 touchdowns running and passing for his college career, he finish sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting in his senior season. Randle El ended his college career with a 26–15 win over the Kentucky Wildcats, passing for two touchdowns.

paragraph: In 2000, Penn State head coach Joe Paterno said of Randle El, "He is just the whole offense. It is scary to watch him. He is so quick that if you don't get on him and you wait for him to pitch the ball, he will take off on you. He is just an amazing athlete. I don't know how you get ready for him."

paragraph: While attending Indiana, Randle El also played varsity basketball under Hall of Fame head coach Bob Knight. Randle El joined the 1998–99 Indiana basketball team following the football season. He also played varsity baseball during the 2000 season for Indiana University.

paragraph: In November 2012, Randle El was inducted into the Indiana Athletic Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Pittsburgh Steelers (2002–2005).

paragraph: Randle El was drafted as a wide receiver in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft with the 62nd overall pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was the ninth wide receiver to be selected in the 2002 NFL Draft. The Steelers made him their top kickoff returner through the 2004 season, and their top punt returner. His quarterback experience allowed the Steelers to use him as a passer in a variety of trick plays, most notably a game-clinching 43-yard reverse touchdown pass to Hines Ward in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XL, his only championship title. He was the third non-quarterback and the first and only wide receiver in NFL history to throw a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Washington Redskins (2006–2009).

paragraph: During the free agency period in March 2006, Randle El signed a seven-year deal with the Washington Redskins, worth $31 million with $11.5 million in bonuses. He had initially been in talks to sign a six-year, $18 million contract with the Chicago Bears, but discussions had broken down following the first day of free agency. In the Redskins' Week 7 game against the Indianapolis Colts, he returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, his first punt return for a touchdown with the Redskins, then in Week 17, he passed for his first touchdown as a Redskin, completing a 48-yard pass to wide receiver Santana Moss. In the 2007 season opener against the Miami Dolphins, Randle El recorded five receptions for a career-high 162 yards.

paragraph: In addition, he was the Redskins emergency quarterback. In December 2007, Randle El was inactive in a loss to Buffalo with a hamstring injury. This was his first game missed in his six-year NFL career, ending a run of 91 consecutive regular season starts.

paragraph: In January 2010, Randle El was named in the Bleacher Report's Pittsburgh Steelers All-Decade team for defense and special teams, as a punt returner. He was also named fifth in "USA Today"'s All-Decade kick returners. Randle El was among ten players released by the Redskins on March 4, 2010. The move came as a result of a number of personnel changes in Washington, with new head coach and executive vice president Mike Shanahan – signed alongside new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan - opting to make room in the Redskin's depth chart and salary outgoings in preparation of the 2010 free agency period. Randle El stated that he was "shocked" at the move, commenting that "..with a new GM and a new coach, I thought you'd be given a shot to show them what you can do."

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Second stint with Steelers (2010).

paragraph: On March 8, 2010, Randle El again signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in a three-year deal worth $7 million, with a $900,000 signing bonus. He was active in all sixteen regular season games, with 22 receptions for 253 yards. In a Week 4 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Randle El was the team's leading receiver with 50 yards, including a season-longest 34-yard catch. Following the Steelers bye week, Randle El had a twelve-yard receiving touchdown overturned, in a week six loss to the New Orleans Saints. In Week 9, Randle El threw for a touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Wallace in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals, following a hand-off from Ben Roethlisberger. NFL.com named it a "Can't Miss Play" of the week. Randle El threw for a second passing touchdown in the Steelers' final regular season game against the Cleveland Browns, completing a pass to Hines Ward. The pass added to his career passer rating of 157.5 from 21 completed passes of a possible 26, the highest career rating of any player with more than twenty completions. Finally, Randle El scored a rushing two-point conversion in Super Bowl XLV to bring the Steelers to within three points of Green Bay in the fourth quarter. He was released by the team on July 28, 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Retirement.

paragraph: After not playing during the 2011 season, Randle El announced his retirement from professional football on July 13, 2012. In 2013, he became the athletic director at Virginia Academy in Ashburn, Virginia, a Christian high school he helped found.

paragraph: In a 2016 interview with the "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette", Randle El expressed regret over playing professional football due to growing memory problems and difficulty walking up and down stairs that he has faced since retirement. He mentioned that he could still be playing baseball at his age had he pursued that path after being drafted by the Chicago Cubs.

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.:Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

paragraph: On January 16, 2019, Randle El joined the coaching staff of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an offensive assistant, reuniting with his former wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Randle El's younger brother, Marcus, was a wide receiver and kick returner for the University of Wisconsin, while his older brother, Curtis, was a defensive back at Indiana University.

paragraph: Li Hongzao

paragraph: Li Hongzao (; 1820－1897), styled Lansun (), pseudonym Shisun (), was a high government official towards the end of the Qing dynasty. One of his sons was Li Shizeng, a prominent politician in the Chinese Nationalist Party. He is often mistaken to be the brother of Li Hongzhang because of their similar names, but they are not related.

paragraph: Section::::Official career.

paragraph: Li was born in Gaoyang County, Zhili, in present-day Hebei province. In 1861, the two dowagers empresses chose Li Hongzao, Qi Junzao, and Weng Xincun, who were all Imperial teachers, to instruct the newly enthroned Tongzhi Emperor in the classics. The Emperor, who was less than five years old at the time, displayed little or no interest in his studies, and would concentrate only when Li was instructing him. Li rose to be vice-president of the Board of Revenue and Grand Councilor, and in 1872 became head of the Board of Works. He then retired for a three-year period, 1877-1880, as required by custom and statute at the death of his mother.

paragraph: Upon his return to office, he resumed his post with the Grand Council and the Zongli Yamen, which was in effect the dynasty's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1884, Li and all the Grand Councillors, such as Yixin, who had been supported by the Empress Dowager, Cixi, were dismissed in a dispute with a group of conservative officials. He was gradually given permission to resume responsibilities, but often criticized for not carrying them out promptly. After the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894, he was given even greater duties, but died in 1897.

paragraph: Mirza Hassan Khan

paragraph: Mirza Hassan Khan () was a Captain of the 6th Infantry of the Jammu and Kashmir State Forces. Placed at Bunji in the Gilgit "wazarat" (now Astore district, Gilgit-Baltistan), Khan rebelled against the Maharaja's regime after his accession to India and participated in the overthrow of the Governor of Gilgit in November 1947. He later fought in the First Kashmir War as part of Gilgit rebel forces under the command of Colonel Aslam Khan and rose to become a Colonel in the Pakistan Army. After leaving the Army, he founded the Gilgit League to protest against the Pakistan's ad hoc administration of Gilgit-Baltistan.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mirza Hassan Khan was born in Gilgit in 1919. His father Mirza Taj Mohammad Khan belonged to a Rono family of Gilgit. His mother was from Nagar.

paragraph: Hassan Khan had early education in Gilgit and then went to Srinagar. However, his father died at this time and he was taken to Poonch by Wazir Mir Husain Shah. He studied in J.V. High School there and stood first among all students in the district. Afterwards, he entered the Sri Pratap College in Srinagar.

paragraph: While studying in College, he decided to become a soldier and went to Jammu to enrol as a sepoy. But upon the advice of Col. Mirza Faqirullah, he applied for the King's Commission in the army. After studying at the Indian Military Academy at Dehradun in 1937–38, he joined the Jammu and Kashmir State Forces.

paragraph: Section::::The Gilgit Coup.

paragraph: In October 1947, Khan was sent with troops to assist the Dogra governor Ghansara Singh in Gilgit, who was apprehensive of the loyalties of the Gilgit Scouts based in Gilgit. Mirza Hassan Khan sided with Major William Brown of the Gilgit Scouts in overthrowing the governor.

paragraph: On 2 November 1947, Mirza Hassan Khan and other officers of the rebel forces, announced a provisional government, with Raja Shah Rais Khan as the President and Mirza Hassan Khan as the Commander-in-Chief. William Brown was told that, being a non-Muslim, he could not hold any post in the government. In his autobiography, Khan ascribed to himself a central role in the coup. Scholar Yaqoob Khan Bangash doubts his account.

paragraph: Soon after the coup, William Brown telegraphed the Pakistan government in the North-West Frontier Province informing them of the developments and asking them to take over the administration of Gilgit. Pakistan's Political Agent, Khan Mohammad Alam Khan, arrived on 16 November and dismissed the provisional government. Thus the Gilgit Agency was absorbed into Pakistan. Mirza Hassan Khan was appointed the military governor for the Bunji sector and asked to focus on that area only.

paragraph: Section::::First Kashmir War.

paragraph: On 19 January 1948, Pakistan appointed Major Mohammad Aslam Khan replacing William Brown as the commander of Gilgit Scouts. Major Aslam organised all the forces in Gilgit into three wings of 400 men each, which were called the "Ibex Force", "Tiger Force" and "Eskimo Force". The three forces were ordered to advance along three directions into the state of Jammu Kashmir. Mirza Hassan Khan was put in charge of the Tiger Force, which advanced on the Gilgit-Bunji-Kamri-Gurais-Bandipora axis. The force reached Bandipora on 28 April, but had to withdraw to Tragbal. When Gurais was recaptured in June by the Indian forces, the Tiger Force withdrew to Minimarg.

paragraph: Section::::Political activism.

paragraph: In 1957, Mirza Hassan Khan founded the "Gilgit League", which is said to be the first political organisation formed to protest the Pakistan's "ad hoc" administration of Gilgit-Baltistan. The party demanded political freedom and democratic rights, and an end to the Frontier Crimes Regulations. The party was banned by Ayub Khan's martial law administration.
