paragraph: Kenneth Le Couteur

paragraph: Kenneth James Le Couteur (16 September 1920 – 18 April 2011) was a British physicist who was the foundation Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Australian National University in Canberra. During World War II he worked at Bletchley Park as a codebreaker.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Kenneth James Le Couteur was born in Saint Helier on the island of Jersey, the son of Philippe Le Couteur, the owner of a carpentry business, and his wife Eva Gartrell. He was educated at Victoria College Preparatory School and Victoria College on Jersey, where he was inspired to become a mathematician by his maths teacher, who had been a wrangler at the University of Cambridge in England. He received a scholarship to study at St John's College, Cambridge, which he entered in 1938. There he studied mathematics, tutored by Ebenezer Cunningham, who had been the senior wrangler in 1902, and rowed for the college.

paragraph: The German occupation of the Channel Islands in 1940 left him stranded in England, cut off from his family. He was awarded his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1941, winning the Mayhew Prize for the student showing the greatest distinction in applied mathematics. He was recruited by the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park as a cryptanalyst. Le Couteur worked on the Enigma machines, and then the Lorenz cipher, codenamed "Tunny" by the British. The codebreaking process was partly automated, using Robinson machines and the Colossus computers.

paragraph: After the war ended in 1945, Le Couteur returned to Cambridge as a Fellow of St John's College, where he worked on his doctorate. His academic supervisor initially was Maurice Pryce, but he became the Wykeham Professor of Physics at Oxford University in 1946, and Nicholas Kemmer took over. Le Couteur was awarded a Turner and Newall Fellowship to study at the University of Manchester, where he completed his doctorate in 1948–49 under the supervision of Léon Rosenfeld. His thesis, on Meson Theory, was submitted in 1949, and he was awarded his PhD from Cambridge. At Manchester, he began investigation of the evaporation theory of nuclear disintegration. He also met Enid Margaret Domville, who worked there as a librarian. They were married on 14 July 1950. They had three children, all daughters: Caroline, Penelope and Mary (Avinashi), and a foster daughter, Marion Chesher.

paragraph: Section::::Academic career.

paragraph: Le Couteur became a lecturer in physics at the University of Liverpool in 1949. There he continued developing relativistic wave equations and working on his evaporation theory. He also provided theoretical physicist support of the work of the experimentalists working on the university's 37-inch cyclotron, and collaborated with Ernest Titterton from the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) in Harwell, Oxfordshire. His work on the Peeler-Regenerative Beam Extraction Method brought him renown, and his solution was employed in the design of subsequent cyclotrons. He also became known for his work on the statistical model of excited nuclei, which he would continue to pursue in Australia.

paragraph: In 1956, Mark Oliphant recruited Le Couteur as the foundation Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Australian National University in Canberra. When Le Couteur arrived, the faculty of the department consisted of himself and Frederick Barker. He enjoyed the new location, sailing and rock fishing on the nearby South Coast of New South Wales, and sailing on Lake Burley Griffin after the lake was filled in 1964. Le Couteur took up the position in April 1956, and remained for the rest of his career, except for study leave at CERN and the AERE in 1959 and 1960. In 1960 he was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. He was the acting Director of the Research School of Physical Sciences on many occasions, occupying the position for extended periods from September 1973 until September 1974, and from February to December 1978.

paragraph: In 1962 Le Couteur arranged for the department to acquire an IBM 1620 as its first computer; it was programmed for numerical calculations in the FORTRAN language. He was also involved in the design and planning of a new Mathematical Sciences building, completed in 1963 and in 1996 renamed the Le Couteur Building. He was also recognised with the award of the Centenary Medal in 2001 "for service to Australian society and science in theoretical physics". When he retired in December 1985, he became a professor emeritus, which he remained until 1989.

paragraph: In 1988, he moved to the Ginninderra Gardens Aged Care Facility in the Canberra suburb of Page. He died on 18 April 2011. He was survived by his wife and daughters.

paragraph: Jerzy Szczakiel

paragraph: Jerzy Szczakiel (born 29 January 1949, in Grudzice, Poland) is a retired Speedway rider. He is one of two Polish nationals to win the Speedway World Championship, the other being 2010 World champion Tomasz Gollob.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Jerzy Szczakiel first appeared in a World Final in 1970 at the Olympic Stadium in Wroclaw, Poland where he was a reserve for the Final but did not ride on the day. He rode in the World Final in 1971 at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden where he failed to score in his five rides. Szczakiel's next (and last) World Final was in 1973 at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów, Poland. In front of the largest crowd in world speedway history (estimated to be around 130,000), he scored 13 points, winning his first 3 rides and finishing 2nd in his last two. He won the title after a run-off with the defending champion Ivan Mauger of New Zealand after both riders tied on 13 points. Mauger fell in the run-off, leaving Szczakiel to finish unchallenged and win the championship. Fellow countryman Zenon Plech finished third. Before the meeting, Szczakiel was considered a rank outsider to win the championship with all eyes on Mauger, 1971 champion Ole Olsen, Plech and Swede Anders Michanek.

paragraph: In an amazing turn around of form, just two weeks after winning the World Championship Szczakiel represented Poland in the final of the 1973 Speedway World Team Cup at the Wembley Stadium in London, England where he could not come to grips with the notoriously difficult Wembley track and failed to score a point from his four rides. He finished a distant last in his first race, retired with engine failure in his next two (both times while running last), and was excluded from his last race for breaking the tapes at the start. The Poles finished last place in the Final behind winners Great Britain, runners-up Sweden, and the third placed USSR. Four time World Champion Barry Briggs from New Zealand reported during commentary for ITV of the WTC Final that Szczakiel had a major crash in practice three days earlier when he went over his bikes handlebars in turn one and lacerated his leg, severing a blood vessel. Briggs also helped secure a pair of bikes for the Final as Szcakiel's crashed bike was the only one he had available. Briggs and fellow ITV commentator Dave Lanning surmised that the Pole's confidence was shot following his practice crash which accounted for his poor showing at Wembley, though Lanning was far more scathing of the reigning World Champion.

paragraph: In defence of his World title, Szczakiel was seeded straight to the Continental Semi-final at the Motodrom Halbemond in Norden, West Germany. There he finished 16th and last having failed to score a point and thus failing to qualify for both the Continental Final in Togliatti, Italy, as well as the 1974 World Final in Gothenburg.

paragraph: Szczakiel was also winner of the World Pairs Championship with Andrzej Wyglenda in 1971. He scored 15 points in the final, held at the Rybnik Municipal Stadium in Rybnik, Poland.

paragraph: As a measure of Szczakeil's skill as a rider, between 1971 and 1973 he raced Ivan Mauger 13 times - and won 6, including beating him twice in the 1973 World Final.

paragraph: At home in Poland, Szczakiel rode for second division team Kolejarz Opole in the "Druga Liga". He continued to ride for Opole until his forced retirement from a back injury in 1980. He stayed involved with the team as Manager until 1986 and is now an honorary member of the club.

paragraph: Section::::Restrictions.

paragraph: During his career, while other Polish riders such as Zenon Plech and Edward Jancarz were seemingly free to travel the world representing Poland in speedway, Polish authorities would not allow the 1973 World Champion to race anywhere but in Europe and only on rare occasions did he compete in Britain. Following his 1973 World title win, Szczakiel was invited by fellow World Champions Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs to join their troupe (Ole Olsen, Scott Autrey, Chris Pusey and Bert Harkins) on a world tour to the USA, Australia and their native New Zealand. Polish authorities had other ideas however and vetoed his participation (but allowed both Plech and Jancarz to go on the tour).

paragraph: After his retirement, when asked about not being allowed to compete outside of Europe, Szczakiel said:

paragraph: Anders Michanek

paragraph: Anders Michanek (born 30 May 1943 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Speedway rider. In 1974 he won the Speedway World Championship in his Swedish homeland with a maximum score of 15 points.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Michanek had a very successful career riding in the British League. He initially signed for the Long Eaton Archers in 1967 before going on to ride for various clubs including Leicester Lions, Newcastle Diamonds, Reading Racers, Ipswich Witches and Cradley Heath Heathens.

paragraph: Michanek won the World Final in 1974 at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, and won the Swedish Individual Championship several times. He won the World Long Track Final in 1977 at Aalborg in Denmark.

paragraph: When Michanek finished second behind Denmark's Ole Olsen in the 1975 World Final at London's Wembley Stadium, it was reported that he was relieved to have relinquished his world title as he had not enjoyed the pressure of being the World Champion. Reports also told that he only started to enjoy the 1975 Final after finishing third in his opening heat behind Olsen and Russian rider Viktor Trofimov knowing that from that point he was not likely to repeat his 1974 win. This was reflected when he came out and won his final four races to finish 2 points behind the undefeated Olsen in second place.

paragraph: Anders Michanek also won the World Pairs Championship in 1973 in Borås with Bernt Persson, again in 1974 at the Hyde Road Speedway in Manchester with Sören Sjösten, and a third time in succession in 1975 in Wrocław, Poland with Tommy Jansson. He also won the Speedway World Team Cup with Sweden in 1970.

paragraph: In 1977, Michanek won the Long Track World Championship in Aalborg, Denmark.

paragraph: Wali Mohammed Wali

paragraph: Wali Muhammad Wali (1667–1707) (, also known as Wali Dakhani, Urdu: ولی دکنی, Wali Gujarati and Wali Aurangabadi, was a classical Urdu poet from India.

paragraph: He is considered by many scholars to be to be the father of Urdu poetry, being the first established poet to have composed Ghazals in Urdu language and compiled a divan (a collection of ghazals where the entire alphabet is used at least once as the last letter to define the rhyme pattern).

paragraph: Before Wali, South Asian Ghazals were composed in Persian, almost being replicated in thought and style from the original Persian masters like Saa'di, Jami and Khaqani. Wali began, using not only an Indian language, but Indian themes, idioms and imagery in his ghazals. It is said that his visit to Delhi in 1700, along with his divan of Urdu ghazals created a ripple in the literary circles of the north, inspiring them to produce stalwarts like Zauq, Sauda and Mir.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in 1667 at Aurangabad, an important city in the present Maharashtra State. He loved travelling, which he regarded as a means of education. He visited Delhi, Surat, Burhanpur and also undertook pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Wali Mohammed Wali's visit to Delhi in 1700 is considered to be of great significance for Urdu Ghazals. His simple, sensuous and melodious poems in Urdu, awakened the Persian loving poets of Delhi to the beauty and capability of "Rekhta" (the old name for Urdu) as a medium of poetic expression. Wali Mohammed Wali's visit thus stimulated the growth and development of Urdu Ghazal in Delhi.

paragraph: He died in Ahmedabad in 1707 in what is now Gujarat state, and was buried in the same city.

paragraph: Section::::Genre.

paragraph: Although Wali tried his hand at a variety of verse forms including the masnavi, qasida, mukhammas, and the rubai., the ghazal is his speciality. He wrote 473 ghazals containing 3,225 couplets (Ashaar). His poems were simple, sensuous & melodious.He was a trend setter in classical poetry who helped establish Urdu ghazal in Delhi by inspiring different poets to write in Urdu It is believed that Wali started to have established the tradition of writing ghazals in Urdu and also influencing the other writers when he visited Delhi. Before that, preferred language for ghazals was Persian.

paragraph: Some of his famous couplets are

paragraph: Jisay Ishq Ka Teer Kaari Lagay

paragraph: Use Zindagi Jag Mein Bhaari Lagay

paragraph: Naa Chode Mohabbat Daame Marg Tak

paragraph: Jisay Yaar Jaanisoon Yaari Lagay

paragraph: Naa Howe Use Jag Mein Hargiz Qaraar

paragraph: Jise Ishq Ki Beqaraari Lagay

paragraph: Har Ek Waqt Mujhe Aashiq Zaar Koon

paragraph: Pyaare Teri Baat pyaari Lagay

paragraph: “Wali” Koon Kahe Tu Agar Yak Bachan

paragraph: Raqeebon Dil Mein Kataari Lagay

paragraph: Section::::Themes.

paragraph: His favorite theme was love – both mystical and earthy – and his characteristic tone was one of cheerful affirmation and acceptance, rather than of melancholy grumbling. He was the first Urdu poet to have started the practice of expressing love from the man's point of view, as against the prevailing convention of impersonating as a woman.

paragraph: If, on the one hand, Wali unraveled the beauty and richness of the native language as a poetic medium, on the other, he was alive to the vigor and verve of Persian diction and imagery which he successfully incorporated into the body of his verse. He may thus be called the architect of the modern poetic language, which is a skillful blend of Aam Boli and Persian vocabulary. His diction was unique here is one of his famous ghazal.

paragraph: Yaad karna har ghari us yaar ka

paragraph: Hai wazifa mujh dil-e-bimaar ka.

paragraph: Aarzoo-e-chasma-e-kausar nahin

paragraph: Tishna-lab hun sharbat-e-didaar ka.

paragraph: Aakbat kya howega maalum nahin

paragraph: Dil hua hai mubtla dildaar ka.

paragraph: Kya kahe tarif dil, hai be nazir,

paragraph: Harf harf us makhzan-e-Israar ka.

paragraph: Gar hua hai taalib-e-Aazadgi,

paragraph: Band mat ho subba-o-zunnaar ka.

paragraph: Masnad-e-gul manzil-e-shabanam hui,

paragraph: Dekh rutba dida-e-bedaar ka.

paragraph: Aye Wali hona srijan par nisaar,

paragraph: Mudda hai chashm-e-gohar baar ka.

paragraph: Section::::Memorials.

paragraph: His memorial tomb in Shahibaug, Ahmedabad was attacked by the Hindu mob during riots in 2002 and replaced with makeshift Hanuman temple. It was completely razed and the road was constructed overnight. After protests from citizens and literary class of city, the Public Interest Litigation was filed in the Gujarat High Court.

paragraph: In 2010, a widely acclaimed short film on Wali's life was made by a film-maker Gopal K. Annam.

paragraph: Stephen Držislav of Croatia

paragraph: Stephen Držislav (, ) was King of Croatia from AD 969 until his death around 997. He was a member of the Trpimirović dynasty. He ruled from Biograd with Godemir as his Ban.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early period.

paragraph: Stephen Držislav was a son of king Michael Krešimir II and his wife, Queen Helen of Zadar. Helen acted as a regent for the young king from 969 until her death on 8 October 976. In a war of Byzantine emperor Basil II against Tsar Samuil of Bulgaria, Stephen Držislav allied with the Byzantines. After the Byzantine Emperor Basil II managed to defend every single coastal Adriatic City during Samuil's rampage towards Zadar in 986, the cities were returned to Croatian control. Samuil, however, invaded central Croatia and conquered the territories of Bosnia between the rivers of Drina and Bosna. Samuil pursued some of his cousins during the war and they often sought help in Croatia. King Držislav had taken fourteen of them, gave them hospitality and a residence near Klis. According to the Archbishop of Split Martin, in 994 they collected money for the construction of the Orthodox St. Michael church in Solin.

paragraph: In an effort to compensate and award Držislav for his alliance, the Eastern Roman Emperor named Stephen Držislav "Patriarch and an Exarch of Dalmatia", which gave him formal authority over the Theme of Dalmatia. Stephen Držislav received royal insigia as an act of recognition from the Byzantine Emperor.

paragraph: Držislav built on his parents' feats and secured sovereignty over the Theme of Dalmatia, lost to Byzantium under Trpimir II. The Theme of Dalmatia at that time included the towns (but not the hinterland) of Krk, Osor, Rab, Zadar, Trogir and Split. He also delegated much of his authority to his powerful governors (bans).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Rule.

paragraph: The 13th-century work "Historia Salonitana" by Thomas the Archdeacon notes that Zachlumia (or Chulmie) was a part of the Kingdom of Croatia, before and after Stephen Držislav.

paragraph: In 996, Venetian Doge Pietro II Orseolo stopped paying tax for safe to the Croatian King after a century of peace, renewing old hostilities. Stephen Držislav, together with the Neretvians, restored naval conflicts with the Venetian ships, but with little success. He sent delegates demanding the tribute to be paid, but the Doge was again reluctant and continued the war. Držislav died shortly after, leaving the country separated among his sons, which was used in advance for Venice. Before the end of his reign, Stephen Držislav gave Svetoslav, his oldest son, the title of "Duke" and Svetoslav became his co-ruler. Držislav was preparing Svetoslav to be his successor. It is probable that Svetoslav ruled concurrently with his father during the 990s. Stone panels from the altar of a 10th-century church in Knin, reveal the following inscription in Latin: CLV DUX HROATOR IN TE PUS D IRZISCLV DUCE MAGNU. In English, this means: "Svetoslav, Duke of the Croats at the time of Drzislav the Great Duke ()". The stone panels are kept at the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments in Split.

paragraph: Držislav's rule was one of the longest of Kings in Croatia, spanning nearly three decades. He had three sons: Svetoslav, Krešimir, and Gojslav, and all three of them were to hold the title of King of Croatia over the following decades. Stephen Držislav died in 997, leaving his descendants to struggle for control over the Croatian Kingdom.

paragraph: Nguyễn Văn Kiệt

paragraph: Nguyễn Văn Kiệt (born March 23, 1945 near Saigon) was a Petty Officer Third Class in the Republic of Vietnam Navy, one of only two South Vietnamese and the only South Vietnamese Navy member, to be awarded the Navy Cross for actions during the Vietnam War. (The other recipient was ARVN PFC Trần Văn Bảy.)

paragraph: In April 1972, United States Navy SEAL Lt. Thomas Norris was one of the few remaining SEALs in Vietnam. When Lt. Col. Iceal Hambleton was shot down behind enemy lines, aerial combat search and rescue operations failed, leading to the loss of five additional aircraft and the death of 11 or more airmen, two captured, and three more down and needing rescue. Norris was tasked with mounting a ground operation to recover Lt. Col. Hambleton, 1st Lt. Mark Clark (son of World War II general Mark W. Clark), and 1st Lt. Bruce Walker from behind enemy lines. Kiệt was one of five Vietnamese commandos to accompany Norris, and when the others refused to pursue the mission further, volunteered to assist Norris. They successfully brought out two of the three downed airmen from more than behind enemy lines.

paragraph: Section::::Rescue operations.

paragraph: Kiệt was a member of the Vietnamese frogmen Naval Advisory Detachment, Sea Commando team, from Đà Nẵng. He was assigned to assist Norris in bringing three downed U.S. air men from more than behind enemy lines. OV-10 pilot Clark was closest to the team's position and would be rescued first. Clark was relayed instructions to get in the water and float downstream where Norris and his team would intercept him. Anderson ordered Norris to take his team no more than forward and wait for the survivors to come to them, but Norris defied the order, turned off his radio and avoiding numerous enemy patrols, went twice that distance. Anderson, Norris, and Kiệt, along with four other Vietnamese commandos set up an overwatch position near the Miêu Giang River, which ran near the positions of both downed airmen.

paragraph: Clark was seriously weakened by five days hiding from the enemy with little to eat. On the night of 9 April, Norris, Kiệt and the commandos retrieved him from the river and got him to friendly territory. The next night they set out to find Hambleton. During their search that night two of the commandos refused to press the mission further, saying they "refused to follow an American just to rescue an American." As dawn approached, Norris was going to proceed alone when Kiệt volunteered to stay with him. They took an abandoned sampan and cautiously searched the river shore for two more hours without success. They reluctantly returned to their forward operating base to rest and hope they would be more successful the next night. Forward air controller Harold Icke on Bilk 11 fixed Hambleton's position during the day so Norris and Kiệt could find him that night.

paragraph: On the night of 12 April, Norris and Kiệt found a deserted village and clothing which they used to disguise themselves as fishermen. They took advantage of the abandoned sampan to row quietly up the river. Even in the pitch dark and dense fog, they could see large numbers of North Vietnamese soldiers and tanks on the shoreline. Traveling upriver in the sampan, they broke out of the heavy fog and found themselves under the Cam Lộ bridge. They had passed Hambleton's position more than 30 minutes ago. Turning around, they finally found Hambleton sitting in a clump of bushes, alive but partly delirious. Sunrise was coming, and although Norris thought it best to wait until dark to return downriver, he needed to be evacuated immediately. Despite the risk, they hid Hambleton in the bottom of the sampan, covered him with bamboo, and started downriver.

paragraph: Their sampan was soon spotted by North Vietnamese troops, some of whom fired at them, but Norris and Kiệt could not afford to return fire. They traveled down river and Norris called in air support to eliminate the North Vietnamese shooting at them from the northern bank. They rescued Clark and Hambleton, but Walker was discovered and killed by the NVA before they could return to rescue him. A book written about Kiệt's heroism by William Charles Anderson was later adapted into a 1988 movie, "Bat*21". In 1999, after the release of considerable classified information, a second book, "The Rescue of Bat 21", was published by Darrel D. Whitcomb. Kiệt emigrated to the United States, and, as of 2008, resided in Washington State.

paragraph: Section::::Navy Cross citation.

paragraph: Thomas Norris readily supported nomination of Kiệt for the Navy Cross, the highest award the U.S. Navy can give to a foreign national.

paragraph: Mike Bacsik (left-handed pitcher)

paragraph: Michael Joseph Bacsik (; born November 11, 1977) is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher and current radio host. Bacsik is particularly notable for having given up Barry Bonds' 756th career home run on August 7, 2007, which broke the all-time record formerly held by Hank Aaron. Bacsik is the son of Michael James Bacsik, who pitched in the majors from –.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.:Early years.

paragraph: Bacsik was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 18th round (543rd overall) in the Major League Baseball draft. He was in his sixth minor league season with the Indians organization before making his debut on August 5, . He was supposed to be serving mop-up duty, as the Seattle Mariners had opened up a huge lead on the Indians. He was knocked around at first and settled in. The Indians rallied from 12 runs down to win the game in extra innings. Bacsik had a 9.00 ERA in three relief appearances (9 innings) in 2001.

paragraph: On December 11, 2001, as part of a big trade, Bacsik was traded along with Roberto Alomar and Danny Peoples to the New York Mets for Matt Lawton, Alex Escobar, Jerrod Riggan, Earl Snyder, and Billy Traber. On July 5, , he got his first big league win when he made his debut with the Mets. He would later go on to have a 3-2 record with a 4.37 ERA in the season. He spent just two seasons with the Mets before becoming a free agent on October 15, 2003.

paragraph: Two months later, on December 23, 2003, Bacsik signed a contract with the Texas Rangers (incidentally, the team where his father was a member when he was born). He spent most of the season with the Oklahoma Redhawks, the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate. He made just three starts in 2004 for the big league club, going 1-1 with a 4.60 ERA.

paragraph: He became a free agent after the 2004 season and signed a contract on November 18, 2004, with the Philadelphia Phillies. However, he spent the whole season with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons, the Phillies' Triple-A team. He opted for minor league free agency after the 2005 season.

paragraph: He signed a contract with the Washington Nationals on February 9, , with an invitation to spring training. He made just one start in spring training and gave up six runs in 0.2 innings before getting cut in April. Afterwards, he signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He had an impressive minor league season with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A team, the Tucson Sidewinders, in which he went a perfect 11-0 with a 2.79 ERA in 28 games (10 starts).

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.:2007.

paragraph: Bacsik became a free agent after the 2006 season and later signed another minor league contract with the Washington Nationals on November 6, 2006. He did not make the major league team when the Nationals broke camp and started with the Columbus Clippers, the Nationals' Triple-A team. After the Nationals found themselves with four of their five starting pitchers on the disabled list, Bacsik and other pitchers were brought up from their farm system. Despite a record of 1-3 and a 4.00 ERA with Columbus (and an ERA of 5.26 as a starter), Bacsik made his debut with the Nationals on May 19, throwing six shutout innings in a game the Nats eventually lost. In his following start, he pitched 7.2 innings, his longest outing of the year including the minors, allowing three runs and earning his first win in the majors since August 4, 2004. He did not miss a start in the rotation after his last callup until he was sent to the bullpen and went 5-8 with a 5.11 ERA in 20 starts and nine relief appearances.

paragraph: On August 7, , Bacsik sealed his name in baseball history as he gave up career home run number 756 to Barry Bonds, who broke the 33-year-old record for total career home runs previously held by Hank Aaron. During the post-home run celebration, Bacsik tipped his cap to Bonds in a gesture of respect. He visited the Giants clubhouse to personally congratulate Bonds on his achievement, and Bonds gave Bacsik an autographed bat that read: "To Mike, God Bless. Barry Bonds." Coincidentally, Bacsik's father had faced Aaron (as a pitcher for the Texas Rangers) after Aaron had hit his 755th home run. On August 23, , Michael James Bacsik held Aaron to a single and a fly out to right field. The younger Bacsik commented later, "If my dad had been gracious enough to let Hank Aaron hit a home run, we both would have given up 756."

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.:Later years.

paragraph: On October 26, 2007, the Washington Nationals signed Bacsik to a non-guaranteed minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. After spring training, on March 5, 2008, the Nationals reassigned Bacsik to minor league camp, and he was assigned to Triple-A Columbus. He became a free agent at the end of the season.

paragraph: In 2011, Bacsik pitched for the Fort Worth Cats, an independent club, in the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball.

paragraph: Section::::Media career.

paragraph: Following his playing career, Bacsik has had a long-running media career in sports. A former intern at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) radio station KTCK ("Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket") for the "BaD Radio Show" prior to beginning his MLB career, Bacsik later served as the show producer on "The Ticket" for midday host Norm Hitzges and performed other fill-in on-air host duties. He gave the "BaD Radio Show" many interviews both before and after giving up Bonds' record breaking home run, at one point claiming he would "give up the home run to Bonds" to be immortalized in baseball history. Bacsik was fired by KTCK in late April 2010 for offensive comments he made on Twitter.

paragraph: During the 2007 MLB postseason, Bacsik worked as an analyst for ESPN. Bacsik currently serves as a color analyst for select college baseball games on Fox Sports Southwest and Fox College Sports. During the 2012 college baseball season, he served as the baseball analyst for broadcasts of TCU baseball on The Mountain, the official Mountain West Conference cable TV channel. He also carried that role into the 2013 season, serving as a color analyst for TCU games on Fox Sports Southwest and Fox College Sports.

paragraph: He currently serves as co-host on the "G-Bag Nation" show on DFW radio station KRLD (105.3 The Fan).

paragraph: Section::::Twitter controversy.

paragraph: Bacsik made offensive comments on his Twitter account following the loss of the Dallas Mavericks to the San Antonio Spurs in game 4 of the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. The comments, most notably "Congratulations to all the dirty Mexicans in San Antonio," quickly circulated on social networks online before Bacsik deleted the comments. The following Monday, on April 26, 2010, Bacsik was suspended indefinitely from his KTCK duties by owner Cumulus Media for "comments [that] were unacceptable and offensive, and are inconsistent with the core values of KTCK and Cumulus." The next day, Bacsik was fired by The Ticket.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Bacsik married Sue Myers in February 2000. He has a daughter, Mary Grace, and a son, Jacob Ryan. Bacsik later announced on KTCK that he and his wife were expecting their third child.

paragraph: Bacsik is also well-known around Dallas as a spin class instructor with occasionally unorthodox teaching methods.

paragraph: William Pole-Tylney-Long-Wellesley, 4th Earl of Mornington (22 June 1788 – 1 July 1857) was an Anglo-Irish nobleman notorious for his dissipated lifestyle.

paragraph: Section::::Ancestry.

paragraph: The great-grandfather of the subject of the present article was Henry Colley (d.1700) (or Cowley) of Castle Carbery, King's County, Ireland. The Colley family originally came from Rutland County in England, having gone to Ireland "tempus" Henry VIII, where they distinguished themselves as soldiers and administrators. Henry's sister Elizabeth married Garret (or Gerald) Wesley I of Dangan, Meath, younger son of Valerian Wesley and Ann Cusack. Henry's youngest son by Mary Usher, only daughter of Sir William Usher of Dublin, knight, was Richard Colley (d.1758) who in 1728, on the death without issue of his first cousin Garret Wesley II, son of his aunt Elizabeth, inherited the Wesley estates with the proviso in Garret's will that he and his heirs should adopt the name and arms of Wesley. He made the necessary formal declaration in 1728 and became known as Richard Wesley. In 1746 he was created 1st Baron Mornington, an ancient barony of Wesley ancestors. His sister Ann married William Pole of Ballyfin, Queen's County. Mornington married Elizabeth Sale, producing as heir Garret Wesley, 2nd Baron Mornington, who was created in 1760 1st Earl of Mornington in County Meath. In 1759 he married Ann Hill and produced five exceptional sons, three of whom were as follows: firstly, Richard Wesley, the eldest son, who became Governor General of India and was created 1st Marquess Wellesley; the third son was Hon. William Wesley, father of the subject of the present article; and the fifth son was Arthur, Duke of Wellington.

paragraph: William Wesley inherited the Pole estates from William Pole (d. 1778) of Ballyfin, the childless brother of his aunt Ann Colley. Yet again, the will of Pole required that Wesley's name be changed to Pole, thus William Wesley became in 1778 William Wesley-Pole. Wesley-Pole, born in 1763, also had an outstanding career, having been an Irish member of parliament for Trim, a Governor of Queen's County, and after the Union of 1800 a Westminster member for that County also, and having served as Chief Secretary for Ireland. He married in 1784 Katherine-Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Hon. John Forbes, Admiral of the Fleet, and produced a son the subject of the present article.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was born William Wesley-Pole on 22 June 1788 in London and baptised at St George's, Hanover Square, on 19 July, the son of William Wesley and his wife Katherine-Elizabeth Forbes. The Wesley family changed their surname to the more archaic 'Wellesley' in the early 1790s. He was a nephew of the future Duke of Wellington.

paragraph: His first marriage was on 14 March 1812 to Catherine Tylney-Long, known in fashionable London society as "The Wiltshire Heiress", and believed to be the richest commoner in England. Two months before the ceremony William Wellesley-Pole assumed the additional surnames of Tylney-Long, changing his name by Royal Licence.

paragraph: During this period, William enjoyed a political career, first as a Tory Member of Parliament for the pocket borough of St Ives from 1812 until 1818, and then for Wiltshire, where his wife's family was influential. However, he was principally known for his dissipation and extravagance. On one occasion in 1814, Long-Wellesley held a grand fête in Wanstead House and its gardens to celebrate his uncle the Duke of Wellington's victory over Napoleon, attended by the Prince Regent, a number of other members of the royal family, and over a thousand dignitaries. He was also known to be a friend of the Irish poet Thomas Moore and of Lord Byron. On 8 August 1822, as his debts began to mount, he was appointed a Gentleman Usher to King George IV, an appointment which rendered him immune to arrest for debt, but he was soon to leave England entirely.

paragraph: Section::::Second marriage and custody battle.

paragraph: While in Europe evading his creditors, Long-Wellesley began a relationship with Helena Paterson Bligh (d. 7 April 1869), the wife of Captain Thomas Bligh of the Coldstream Guards, eventually abandoning Catherine, who died two years later on 12 September 1825. Catherine had implied in a letter to her sisters that her husband had given her a venereal disease. Long-Wellesley subsequently married Helena in 1828, but this marriage also proved disastrous. Long-Wellesley, a notorious rake, was generally charged with having dissipated his first wife's property, but this he had been unable to do, having only a life interest in it, although he was responsible for the demolition of Wanstead House, the proceeds of which covered only some of his enormous debts.

paragraph: He returned to Parliament in 1830, again as a member for St Ives, and as knight of the shire for Essex from 1831 to 1832. He was one of the Tories who broke with the first Wellington Ministry and brought about its fall on 15 November 1830.

paragraph: In the years following Catherine's death, Long-Wellesley sought control over his children, who were in the care of Catherine's two unmarried sisters, Dorothy and Emma. He was especially interested in William, the eldest, on whom Catherine's fortune had devolved. His uncle the Duke of Wellington, fighting one of his furious defensive actions, intervened on behalf of the children to keep the hapless William from his father's clutches. Deprived of the custody of his children by the Court of Chancery, Long-Wellesley was committed to the Fleet prison by Lord Brougham in July 1831 for contempt of court; Long-Wellesley invoked parliamentary privilege, but his plea was rejected by the committee of privileges of the House of Commons. For some time he was in and out of court on charges of libel, and various other matters relating to his quest for custody of his children.

paragraph: Section::::Decline and death.

paragraph: He led a very dissipated life and lived for a time in Brussels to avoid his creditors. In his last years he lived on a small pension of ₤10 a week allowed by his cousin Arthur Wellesley, 2nd Duke of Wellington. From 1842 he was styled Viscount Wellesley, and succeeded his father as Earl of Mornington in 1845.

paragraph: He died in lodgings in Thayer Street, Manchester Square, London, on 1 July 1857, from heart disease. The obituary notice three days later in the "Morning Chronicle" claimed that he was "A spendthrift, a profligate, and a gambler in his youth, he became debauched in his manhood... redeemed by no single virtue, adorned by no single grace, his life gone out even without a flicker of repentance". His coffin is in Catacomb B, Kensal Green Cemetery, London.

paragraph: Tony Humphries (musician)

paragraph: Tony Humphries is an American electronic musician and DJ. He was one of the earliest proponents of house music and has been instrumental in spreading the genre on both sides of the Atlantic.

paragraph: Humphries' work encompasses studio production and remixes, radio slots on WRKS 98.7 Kiss FM and Hot 97, and DJ residencies at clubs including Club Zanzibar (Newark, New Jersey) and Ministry of Sound in London, UK.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Brooklyn in 1957, Tony Humphries began collecting records at age ten. Humphries' passion for music was encouraged from a very early age. His father, Rene, had emigrated from Colombia some years earlier, before going on to lead the New York Combo. Rene "El Grande Combo" Humphries, as he was known, performed alongside salsa performers including Tito Puente.

paragraph: Section::::The Zanzibar years.

paragraph: Humphries began DJing at college and got his first professional gig in 1981 at the then-new New York station KISS-FM following a chance encounter with Shep Pettibone. His big break was in 1982, when he was asked by Shep Pettibone to fill in for a mix show on WRKS 98.7 Kiss-FM] in New York. Soon afterward, he was a regular contributor of the station’s mastermixes—extended and remixed versions of popular songs—a process that had been pioneered on the station earlier by Pettibone. During most of the 1980s until 1994, Humphries had a mix show that aired on Kiss-FM every Friday and Saturday night.

paragraph: In 1982, Humphries got a residency at the Club Zanzibar, in Newark, New Jersey, home of the so-called Jersey Sound.

paragraph: Humphries and Club Zanzibar, alongside the Paradise Garage and its resident DJ Larry Levan, are considered to be the main driving forces behind the creation of garage house music.

paragraph: Section::::Europe.

paragraph: By the late 1980s, bootleg tapes of Humphries's Kiss-FM radio shows had begun to make their way across the Atlantic. Alex Patterson from ambient house group The Orb was one such early disciple; "hearing proper DJs like Tony Humphries, that's what really got me into house music."

paragraph: Humphries's earliest UK appearances were at club nights in London, such as Danny Rampling's "Shoom" and Norman Jay's "High On Hope" at Dingwalls.

paragraph: In the 1990s, as dance music grew in popularity in the UK and throughout Europe, Humphries was given a residency at the London superclub Ministry of Sound. He also recorded for the Ministry of Sound label and launched the Ministry of Sound Sessions series.

paragraph: Humphries plays regularly at Ibiza clubs such as Pacha. He also appears regularly on Kings of House tours alongside David Morales and "Little" Louie Vega.

paragraph: Section::::Studio work.

paragraph: Humphries has produced many DJ mixes and compilations. These include his work for Ministry of Sound, London's Fabric, Strictly Rhythm, DMC, and, returning to his roots, his Zanzibar Classics compilations. A notable compilation titled "Tony Humphries Choice: A Collection Of Club Zanzibar Classics" was released on Azuli Records in 2003, and includes classics like "Take Me Home" by Cher and "Are You For Real" by Deodato featuring Camille.

He has performed at international festivals including Burning Man, Coachella, Winter Music Conference, Love Parade, Lightning in a Bottle, and Outside Lands.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Of Creole descent, David Starfire comes from a musical family with roots in New Orleans Jazz. His grandfather, Oscar Rouzan, was a well known New Orleans horn player that performed with Paul Simon, Al Hirt, and notable others. His aunt, Wanda Rouzan, is famous a New Orleans dixieland jazz vocalist dubbed the "Sweetheart of New Orleans". At 8 years old, David first had piano lessons and then moved to the guitar, which was his preferred instrument. David began composing songs by the time he was 13 on his electric guitar and was influenced by classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles. He was in various rock bands that performed at parties and the yearly high school talent show. At Bishop Lynch High School, he was a member of the drum core in the marching band and played bass in the jazz band. He was voted "Most Musical" by his graduating class. At 17, he began recording songs on a four-track recorder that he received for his graduation. By the time he was 17, he was playing many instruments (guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion, vocals) and multi-tracking the recording sessions as a one-man band. In the summer of his 18th birthday, he recorded the entire Moving Pictures album by RUSH and playing all the instruments himself.

His unique style of mixing Indian and Middle Eastern sounds with electronic western music led to several DJ gigs in the West Coast and then beyond.

paragraph: Melchior Klesl

paragraph: Melchior Klesl (sometimes Khlesl, rarely Cleselius) (19 February 1552 – 18 September 1630) was an Austrian statesman and cardinal of the Roman Catholic church during the time of the Counter-Reformation. Klesl was appointed Bishop of Vienna in 1598 and elevated to cardinal in 1616.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Vienna to Lutheran Protestant parents, with his father being a baker, Melchior Klesl studied philosophy at the University of Vienna, and was with his parents converted by the court chaplain, Father Georg Scherer, S.J. He received minor orders in 1577, when he was assigned a canonry, and, even while in minor orders, he preached and held conferences at Korneuburg and in the vicinity, making many conversions. In 1579 he became doctor of philosophy and provost of St. Stephen's in Vienna, which dignity carried with it the chancellorship of the university, and was finally ordained to the priesthood. As early as the following year he was appointed councillor of the Bishop of Passau for Lower Austria.

paragraph: Rudolf II, impressed by the vigour and success of his campaign against Protestantism, entrusted him with the work of the Counter-Reformation, which became his life work. Klesl brought back into the fold the cities of Baden, Krems, and Stein, though not without great difficulty, nor indeed without actual risk of his life. In 1585 he was made imperial councillor by Rudolf II, who three years later appointed him court chaplain and administrator of the Diocese of Wiener Neustadt. It took him but a very short time to restore the Catholic rule in this thoroughly disorganized bishopric. He was compelled in doing so to be constantly on his guard against the monastic council, which, in a memorial on the subject, he calls, "the cause of all evil, the champion of godless prelates and priests against their bishop, a parasite".

paragraph: In 1598 Klesl was named Bishop of Vienna, a diocese which was spiritually and materially in a state of degradation. On 30 Mar 1614, he was consecrated bishop by Placido della Marra, Bishop of Melfi e Rapolla. He received the purple from Paul V in 1616. In 1611 Matthias placed Klesl at the head of his privy council. As such he held full sway in the government, stoutly opposing the concessions to the Hungarian Protestants in 1606. He assisted to secure the election of Matthias to the imperial throne, and sought, but without success, to strengthen the new emperor's position by making peace between the Catholics and the Protestants. When during the short reign of Matthias the question of the imperial succession demanded prompt attention, the bishop, although quite as anxious as his opponents to retain the empire in the house of Habsburg and to preserve the dominance of the Roman Catholic Church, advised that this question should be shelved until some arrangement with the Protestant princes had been reached. This counsel was displeasing to Archduke Maximilian of Tyrol and to Archduke Ferdinand of Styria, who after the Oñate treaty became King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor as Ferdinand II. They believed that Klesl was hostile to the candidature of the latter prince.

paragraph: It was, however, impossible to shake his influence with the emperor. In June 1618, a few months before the death of Matthias, the Bohemian Estates, having thrown their governor out of the window of the palace at Prague for the second time, broke out into open rebellion. Klesl could not be induced to take energetic measures against them and was seized by order of the archdukes and imprisoned at Schloss Ambras in Tyrol. A short time later he was formally arrested by Cardinal Fabrizio Verospi and brought to the castle of Innsbruck, whence he was transferred to the monastery of St. Georgenberg in 1619. In November 1622, Rome, Italy became his place of confinement by order of Pope Gregory XV. He was granted his freedom by the emperor in June of the following year, but was to remain in Rome.

paragraph: Klesl lived to enjoy the satisfaction of seeing himself solemnly brought back to Vienna on 25 January 1628, and reinstated as bishop, but without any political influence. He decreed that the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on 8 December be henceforth observed in his dioceses "in the same manner as Sundays and other prescribed holy days", and in spite of the nuncio's protestation, he strove to maintain the peculiarly Viennese custom whereby Holy Communion was distributed on Good Friday.

paragraph: He died in Wiener Neustadt in 1630. His heart reposes before the high altar of the cathedral of Wiener Neustadt while his body rests in the cathedral of St. Stephen's, Vienna.

paragraph: Inhabitants of Vienna will recognize Klesl's name first and foremost because "Khleslplatz" ("Khlesl Square") in Vienna's 12th district, Meidling, in the former village of Altmannsdorf, has been named after the cardinal, allegedly because he used to stop at No.12 on his journeys from Wiener Neustadt to Vienna. Since 1978, the 16th century building has housed the "Renner-Institut", the political academy of the Social Democratic Party of Austria, while No.6 was, until 1998, the site of the "Tierschutzhaus" of the "Wiener Tierschutzverein" (founded in 1846), where generations of animal lovers would go to collect homeless pets.

paragraph: Reza Abbasi

paragraph: Reza Abbasi, Riza yi-Abbasi or Reza-e Abbasi, رضا عباسی in Persian, usually Reza Abbasi also Aqa Reza (see below) or Āqā Riżā Kāshānī ( – 1635) was the leading Persian miniaturist of the Isfahan School during the later Safavid period, spending most of his career working for Shah Abbas I. He is considered to be the last great master of the Persian miniature, best known for his single miniatures for "muraqqa" or albums, especially single figures of beautiful youths.

paragraph: Section::::Life and art.

paragraph: Riza was possibly born in Kashan, as Āqā Riżā Kāshānī is one of the versions of his name; it has also been suggested that he was born in Mashad, where his father, the miniature artist Ali Asghar, is recorded as having worked in the atelier of the governor, Prince Ibrahim Mirza. After Ibrahim's murder, Ali Asghar joined Shah Ismail II's workshop in the capital Qasvin. Riza probably received his training from his father and joined the workshop of Shah Abbas I at a young age. By this date, the number of royal commissions for illustrated books had diminished, and had been replaced by

paragraph: album miniatures in terms of employment given to the artists of the royal workshop.

paragraph: Unlike most earlier Persian artists, he typically signed his work, often giving dates and other details as well, though there are many pieces with signatures that scholars now reject. He may have worked on the ambitious, but incomplete "Shahnameh", now in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin. A much later copy of the work, from 1628, at the end of Abbas' reign and rendered in a very different style, may also be his. It is now in the British Library (MS Additional 27258). His first dated drawing is from 1601, in the Topkapi Palace. A book miniature of 1601-2 in the National Library of Russia has been attributed to him; the only other miniature in the book is probably by his father. He is generally attributed with the 19 miniatures in a "Khusraw and Shirin" of 1631-32, although their quality has been criticised.

paragraph: His speciality, however, was the single miniature for the albums or "muraqqas" of private collectors, typically showing one or two figures with a lightly drawn garden background, sometimes in gold, in the style formerly used for border paintings, with individual plants dotted about on a plain background. These vary between pure pen drawings and fully painted subjects with colour throughout, with several intermediate varieties. The most typical have at least some colour in the figures, though not in the background; later works tend to have less colour. His, or his buyers', favourite subjects were idealized figures of stylishly dressed and beautiful young men. According to Barbara Brend:The line of Riza's ink drawings has an absolute mastery conveying texture, form, movement and even personality. His coloured figures, which must often be portraits, are more restrained, and lay more emphasis on the fashions of the day, the rich textiles, the carelessly draped turban, the European hat. Effete figures are often presented standing in a curved posture which accentuates their well-fed waists. The style he pioneered remained influential on subsequent generations of Persian painters; several pupils were prominent artists, including Mo'en Mosavver, who painted his portrait many decades later (illustrated at top) as well as Riza's son, Muhammed Shafi Abbasi.

paragraph: His earlier works were signed Aqa Risa (or Riza, Reza etc., depending on the transliteration used), which, confusingly, is also the name of a contemporary Persian artist who worked for the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in India. In 1603, at the age of about 38, the artist in Persia received the honorific title of "Abbasi" from his patron, the shah, associating him with his name. In the early 20th century, there was much scholarly debate, mostly in German, as to whether the later Aqa Risa and Riza Abbasi were the same figure. It is now accepted that they were, although his style shows a considerable shift in mid-career. Riza Abbasi, the painter, is also not to be confused with his contemporary Ali Riza Abbasi, Shah Abbas' favourite calligrapher, who in 1598, was appointed to the important position of royal librarian, and therefore in charge of the royal atelier of painters and calligraphers. Both Rizas accompanied the shah on his campaign to Khurasan in 1598 and followed him to the new capital he established in Isfahan from 1597-98. Soon after, Riza Abbasi left the Shah's employ in a "mid-life crisis", apparently seeking greater independence and freedom to associate with Isfahan's "low-life" world, including athletes, wrestlers and other unrespectable types. In 1610, he returned to the court, probably because he was short of money, and continued in the employ of the Shah until his death. A series of drawings copying the miniatures attributed to the great 15th-century artist Behzad, which were in the library of the shrine at Ardabil, strongly suggest that Riza had visited the city, probably as part of the Shah's party and perhaps on his visits in 1618 or 1625.

paragraph: About the time of his return to court service, there is a considerable change in his style. "The primary colours and virtuoso technique of his early portraits give way in the 1620s to darker, earthier colours and a coarser, heavier line. New subjects only partly compensate for this disappointing stylistic development". He painted many older men, perhaps scholars, Sufi divines, or shepherds, as well as birds and Europeans, and in his last years sometimes satirized his subjects.

paragraph: Sheila Canby's 1996 monograph accepts 128 miniatures and drawings as by Riza, or probably so, and lists as "Rejected" or "Uncertain Attributions" a further 109 that have been ascribed to him at some point Today, his works can be found in Tehran in the Reza Abbasi Museum and in the library at the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. They can also be found in several western museums, such as the Smithsonian, where the Freer Gallery of Art has an album of works by him and pupils, the British Museum, Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
