paragraph: William Blagheen

paragraph: William Blagheen (born 1832, date of death unknown), also known as William Blagden, was a Union Navy sailor in the American Civil War and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions at the Battle of Mobile Bay.

paragraph: Richard Gallo (performance artist)

paragraph: Richard Gallo (1946-2007) was an American stage actor, performance artist, and experimental theater stage director, noted mostly for his street performances and provocative costumes. His work blurred the boundaries between performance art, theatre, and fashion. Gallo performed outside the luxury stores and hotels on Fifth Avenue wearing costumes that referenced glamour, sadomasochism, and high fashion. His street performances challenged mainstream conceptions of identity, masculinity, and sexuality.

paragraph: He was known as “Lemon Boy" for his use of lemons as props.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gallo was born in the Kensington section of Brooklyn New York. He studied advertising, theater, and art studio at Pratt Institute from 1964-1968. While at Pratt he became close friends with fellow student Robert Wilson and performed in several of his early productions including "The King of Spain" (1969), "The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud" (1969), "Deafman Glance" (1970) and "The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin" (1973).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Beginning in 1968, while still a student at Pratt, Gallo enlisted the help of several peers, including Alan Sigman and Robert Ippolito, to assist him in staging public performances. Many of the earliest performances were held at Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan. Often these performances would be interrupted by the police, which usually ended with a summons or arrest for not having a permit for exhibition. On one occasion, after refusing to break character when approached by the police, he was detained and spent several days in Bellevue Hospital. Gallo described the typical arc of his performances: “The crowd would build up and then the traffic would slow to see what was happening. Then the police would show up. When I heard the siren I knew the show was over. It was a good ending.”

paragraph: Other performance locations included:  Van Cleef & Arpels, Harry Winston, Tiffany & Co., Peck & Peck, and the steps and forecourt of the main branch of the New York Public Library.

paragraph: Around this same time (1971-1972) Gallo could often be found in the back room of Max's Kansas City amongst other habitués of the New York City art scene, including Warhol superstars Holly Woodlawn and Candy Darling, as well as influential writers such as Rene Ricard, and Glenn O'Brien.

paragraph: In 1973, Gallo was invited to headline his original theatrical production of "Squalls" for the International Festival Mondial du Théâtre in Nancy France. Prior to the opening, hundreds of posters promoting the show were either defaced by graffiti or torn down. This vandalism foreshadowed the raucous crowds that attended the actual performances. One member of the crowd, theater critic and NYU Drama Professor Michael Kirby, described "Squalls" as the only theatrical event where he had ever witnessed an “overt confrontation by the bourgeoisie” and “according to the model of "Ubu Roi…"the only avant-garde performance [he had] ever seen.”

paragraph: After he returned from France, Gallo performed in Robert Wilson's "The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin", which premiered on December 14, 1973 at the Opera House of the Brooklyn Academy of Music in  Brooklyn, New York.

paragraph: After "The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin", he discontinued working in theatre or performing on the streets. From 1974 though 1978, he became more immersed in the New York City fashion scene and began to frequent Studio 54 where he resumed his performance art. While there, he was photographed by several by Allan Tannenbaum, Anton Perich, Dustin Pittman and Felice Quinto. In 1978, he participated in Robert Wilson's "Video 50." In 1979, he returned to theater when he was selected to perform his original production, "Tip of the Iceberg / Suspect on Black Coal" at the 1979 Pan American Games in San Juan Puerto Rico. Each of these performances culminated in Gallo floating across the stage on a 20 foot long fork, while below, the classically-trained vocalist Asha Puthli sang "Ave Maria".

paragraph: The following year, he staged "A Killer's Loose But Nobody's Talking" with Sheryl Sutton at The Kitchen, a performing arts theater in New York City.

paragraph: Section::::Later years and death.

paragraph: In the winter of 1982, Gallo suffered a stroke in the stairwell outside his apartment on the Upper East Side.  As a result, he was partially disabled and unable to continue performing. He remained at this same residence until his death in 2007 at the age of 60. Little is known about the last years of his life, including the cause of his death. He is buried in Mount St. Mary Cemetery in Flushing, Queens New York.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Joseph Beuys was rumored to have gifted him a roll of felt, which he had tailored into a costume. Andy Warhol remarked that he was “more glamorous than Marlene Dietrich.” Robert Wilson said that he was the "equivalent of a theatrical warehouse.”

paragraph: Gallo's visual aesthetic has been noted as an influence with Michael Jackson and the white sequined glove he made famous on the in 1983.  Beginning in 1973, Gallo often wore and was photographed on many occasions wearing a similar-looking glove gifted to him by the fashion designer Philip Haight. Gallo frequently wore this same glove to Studio 54 around the same time that Michael Jackson was also a patron.

paragraph: Gallo was a subject for many famous photographers, including Christopher Makos, Peter Hujar,Marcus Leatherdale,Sylvia Plachy, Andy Warhol and Jack Mitchell. He was also photographed by Bert Stern and featured in Vogue magazine.

paragraph: Hans Mol

paragraph: Johannis Jacob Mol (14 February 1922 – 26 November 2017) was a Dutch-born sociologist and Professor Emeritus in Religious Studies at McMaster University. He was President of the International Sociological Association's Sociology of Religion Research Committee from 1974-1978. In 1978, Mol gave the Paine Lecture at the University of Missouri and was opening speaker at the International Conference for the Sociology of Religion in Tokyo, Japan. In 1985, he was the keynote speaker for the 15th World Congress of the International Association for the History of Religions. Mol is listed as an important figure in the social sciences, receiving dedicated entries in publications such as "Encyclopaedia of Religion and Society" and "Sociology of Religion: An Historical Introduction".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Hans Mol was born on 14 February 1922 in Rozenburg, Netherlands to Johannis Jacob Mol and Jacoba Jobbina de Koster. After gymnasium in Tiel, Mol attended the University of Amsterdam from 1941 to 1943. However, these studies were interrupted by the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands. Mol refused to sign allegiance to the Nazi party, as all university students were expected to do, and was sent to work in Kleinwanzleben at a sugar factory. There, he and his roommates were eventually detained by the Gestapo for having listened to BBC radio broadcasts on a forbidden radio hidden in their room. Mol was sent to a prison camp called Rothensee for three weeks before spending two years as a prisoner in both Magdeburg and Halle. He was released in March 1945 and immigrated to Australia in 1948 where he resumed his studies, this time in theology at the United Theological Faculty of Sydney University. Mol was ordained into the Presbyterian Church in Australia on 27 February 1952 and married Ruth McIntyre on his birthday in 1953. Moving to the United States in 1954, he completed a Bachelor of Divinity degree at Union Theological Seminary, a joint Master's in Christian Ethics at Union (with Reinhold Niebuhr) and Columbia University (1955), and a PhD in Sociology at Columbia with Robert K. Merton as his supervisor (1960).

paragraph: Mol's first academic position was at Canterbury University (New Zealand), followed by positions at Australian National University and McMaster University (Canada). He also filled in for Thomas O’Dea at University of California, Santa Barbara in 1969. He retired from McMaster in 1987. In 2010, Mol was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He died at the age of 95 on 26 November 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Sociological contribution.

paragraph: John A. Coleman's 1998 Furfey Lecture of the Association for the Sociology of Religion mentions Hans Mol alongside Max Weber, Ernst Troeltsch, Talcott Parsons, and Peter Berger as "sociology of religion's 'usual suspects,'" and the "Sage Handbook of the Sociology of Religion", likewise, introduces its discussion of the relationship of identity to religion with a brief mention of Mol. Indeed, Mol is best known for his identity theory of religion which was outlined in the 1976 book "Identity and the Sacred". The book is frequently noted as laying out the first general theory of religion in which the concept of identity is central. In Mol's view identity is a fundamental building block of human experience. Thus, his theory of religion begins with identity as a sense of stability, order, and place in a potentially chaotic environment. He adopts a dialectical model then, pitting the ideal stability of identity against the differentiating and destabilising forces of social life. Religion fits into this dialectic by essentially balancing these two opposed forces. In order to ensure the sustained meaningfulness of one's identity, religion has to remain adaptable to those potentially destabilising forces. As Mol states it, "religion is…the sacralization of identity." By "sacralisation", Mol means that religion is able to fit myths, rituals, and emotion-based commitments into a transcendent worldview that buttresses whatever is providing a sense of stable identity.

paragraph: Although some scholars argued that Mol was a functionalist, this definition of religion avoided being easily classified as either substantive or functionalist. It also led Mol to question the mid-20th-century secularization thesis because, for him, religion was not relegated to traditional institutions but to an existential drive to protect one's identity by making it sacred and untouchable. Thus, religion would likely remain relevant.

paragraph: Rudolf of Geneva

paragraph: Rudolf or Rudolph () was the Count of Geneva from 1252 until his death in 1265. He was the eldest son of William II, and was described by a Renaissance historian as “the more quarrelsome son of a quarrelsome father.” He was a constant warrior, and his most frequent foes were of the House of Savoy.

paragraph: Section::::Heir of Geneva.

paragraph: Around 1234 Aymon II of Faucigny made himself protector of the priory of Chamonix, in violation of the rights of the Count of Geneva, then William II. This precipitated a war between the house of Geneva and that of Faucigny allied with the house of Savoy in the person of Aymon's son-in-law Peter, “the Little Charlemagne”. Late in 1236 or early the next year, during a temporary truce, Rudolf ambushed Peter in a mountain pass, while the latter was travelling with a very small retinue, and made him a prisoner. The exact circumstances of the ambush and of the events which followed are obscured, but it appears that in the ensuing war the Genevans were beat. On 13 May 1237 Peter's elder brother, Amadeus IV of Savoy, acting as arbiter of the dispute between Geneva and Faucigny, ordered William II to pay a war indemnity and hand over certain fortresses. In the end Peter was freed.

paragraph: In 1250, when the Savoyards appeared to be engaged in a concerted effort to expand their territory, William II and Rudolf again went to war, this time mainly in defence of the Albert III of La Tour-du-Pin, who was William's brother-in-law and Rudolf's father-in-law, and whose lands were threatened by both Peter and his brother Philip. In the war Savoy defeated Geneva, and Philip imposed a “Carthaginian peace” on the losers. The indemnity had never been paid and was mercifully halved, and more castles were taken. It was a reduced patrimony that Rudolf inherited two years later.

paragraph: Section::::Count of Geneva.

paragraph: In November 1252 William II died at Domène. Rudolf immediately acted to expand his shrunken county of Geneva. By arms he forced Simon de Joinville, the lord of Gex, to do him homage. He seized the castle at Charousse and expelled a creditor of “the Little Charlemagne”, who was holding it as security on a loan. For this castle he steadfastly refused to do homage to any Savoyard. When his aunt, Margaret, the dowager countess of Savoy, died in 1258, Rudolf took over the lands at Cornillon and the Val des Clefs that formed her dowry.

paragraph: Rudolf also sought to arbitrate the claims of his cousin Henry to the count of Geneva, which rights Henry had sold to Peter of Savoy. Early in 1260 Peter recaptured Charousse and, on 19 May, the three disputants met in Geneva to accept the decision of the arbiters Rudolf and Henry had chosen. Rudolf was allowed to keep Charousse if he did homage to Peter for it and paid the outstanding debt of £2,000 "viennois" (pounds of Vienne). The problem of the disputed succession to Geneva (William II had seized the county unlawfully) was deferred, and the lands ceded to Peter until the payment of the indemnity (the "gagerie") was enlarged with the lands north and west of the Rhône from Seyssel to Lausanne, from the bridge over the Tacon to the "mandamentum" of the city of Geneva. The "gagerie" included the castles of Geneva, Charousse, Ballaison, Les Clées, Rue; the homages of the Count of Gruyére and of the lords of Langin, Oron and Vufflens; and all the jurisdictions Rudolf possessed in the Pays de Vaud, the Chablais and in Faucigny. The county of Geneva was reduced to the Genevois.

paragraph: In September 1262 Rudolf paid homage to the youthful Boniface, Count of Savoy, for the territories he held in fief from him. Boniface was probably not yet fourteen and still under the regency of his mother, Cécile des Baux. The homage of Rudolf is therefore one of the more important that comes down from the reign of Boniface, although it indicates that the latter was not yet styled with the full titulature of his father, Amadeus IV. Not long afterwards Boniface died and in August 1263 Rudolf was forced to homage anew to his old enemy, Peter, who was now Count of Savoy. After the arbitration of some minor differenced by the Bishop of Belley and the Abbot of Saint-Rambert, Rudolf did homage in an orchard below the castle at Saint-Rambert for his fiefs of Charousse, Cusy, Aubonne and Saint-Maurice-d'Agaune.

paragraph: Rudolf died in 1265 and was succeeded by his son Aymon II, who was later succeeded by his brother Amadeus II.

paragraph: Franz Wright

paragraph: Franz Wright (March 18, 1953 – May 14, 2015) was an American poet. He and his father James Wright are the only parent/child pair to have won the Pulitzer Prize in the same category.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Wright was born in Vienna, Austria. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1977.

paragraph: "Wheeling Motel" (Knopf, 2009), had selections put to music for the record "Readings from Wheeling Motel". Wright wrote the lyrics to and performs the Clem Snide song "Encounter at 3AM" on the album "Hungry Bird" (2009). Wright's most recent books include "Kindertotenwald" (Knopf, 2011), a collection of sixty-five prose poems concluding with a love poem to his wife, written while Wright had terminal lung cancer. The poem won "Poetry" magazine's premier annual literary prize for best work published in the magazine during 2011. The prose poem collection was followed in 2012 by "Buson: Haiku," a collection of translations of 30 haiku by the Japanese poet Yosa Buson, published in a limited edition of a few hundred copies by Tavern Books.

paragraph: In 2013 Wright's primary publisher, Knopf in New York, brought out another full length collection of verse and prose poems, "F", which was begun in the ICU of a Boston hospital after excision of part of a lung. "F" was the most positively received to any of Wright's work. Writing in the "Huffington Post", Anis Shivani placed it among the best books of poetry yet produced by an American, and called Wright "our greatest contemporary poet."

paragraph: In 2013 Wright recorded 15 prose poems from "Kindertotenwald" for inclusion in a series of improvisational concerts performed in European venues, arranged by David Sylvian, Stephan Mathieu and Christian Fennesz.

paragraph: Prior to his death, Wright completed his final manuscript, entitled "Axe in Blossom," which is forthcoming from Knopf.

paragraph: Wright has been anthologised in works such as "The Best of the Best American Poetry" as well as Czeslaw Milosz's anthology "A Book of Luminous Things" "Bearing the Mystery: Twenty Years of Image", and "American Alphabets: 25 Contemporary Poets".

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:Death.

paragraph: Wright died of terminal lung cancer at his home in Waltham, Massachusetts on May 14, 2015.

paragraph: Section::::Criticism.

paragraph: Writing in the "New York Review of Books", Helen Vendler said "Wright's scale of experience, like Berryman's, runs from the homicidal to the ecstatic... [His poems'] best forms of originality [are] deftness in patterning, startling metaphors, starkness of speech, compression of both pain and joy, and a stoic self-possession with the agonies and penalties of existence." Novelist Denis Johnson has said Wright's poems "are like tiny jewels shaped by blunt, ruined fingers--miraculous gifts." The "Boston Review" has called Wright's poetry "among the most honest, haunting, and human being written today." Critic Ernest Hilbert wrote for Random House's magazine "Bold Type" that "Wright oscillates between direct and evasive dictions, between the barroom floor and the arts club podium, from aphoristic aside to icily poetic abstraction." "Walking to Martha's Vineyard" (2003) in particular, was well received. According to "Publishers Weekly", the collection features "[h]eartfelt but often cryptic poems...fans will find Wright's self-diagnostics moving throughout." "The New York Times" noted that Wright promises, and can deliver, great depths of feeling, while observing that Wright depends very much on our sense of his tone, and on our belief not just that he means what he says but that he has said something new...[on this score] "Walking to Martha's Vineyard" sometimes succeeds."

paragraph: Poet Jordan Davis, writing for "The Constant Critic", suggested that Wright's collection was so accomplished it would have to be kept "out of the reach of impulse kleptomaniacs." Added Davis, "deader than deadpan, any particular Wright poem may not seem like much, until, that is, you read a few of them. Once the context kicks in, you may find yourself trying to track down every word he's written."

paragraph: Some critics were less welcoming. According to "New Criterion" critic William Logan, with whom Wright would later publicly feud, "[t]his poet is surprisingly vague about the specifics of his torment (most of his poems are shouts and curses in the dark). He was cruelly affected by the divorce of his parents, though perhaps after forty years there should be a statute of limitation... 'The Only Animal,' the most accomplished poem in the book, collapses into the same kitschy sanctimoniousness that puts nodding Jesus dolls on car dashboards." "Wright offers the crude, unprocessed sewage of suffering", he comments. "He has drunk harder and drugged harder than any dozen poets in our health-conscious age, and paid the penalty in hospitals and mental wards."

paragraph: The critical reception of Wright's 2011 collection, "Kindertotenwald" (Knopf), has been positive on the whole. Writing in the "Washington Independent Book Review", Grace Cavalieri speaks of the book as a departure from Wright's best known poems. "The prose poems are intriguing thought patterns that show poetry as mental process... This is original material, and if a great poet cannot continue to be original, then he is really not all that great... In this text there is a joyfulness that energizes and makes us feel the writing as a purposeful surge. It is a life force. This is a good indicator of literary art... Memory and the past, mortality, longing, childhood, time, space, geography and loneliness, are all the poet's playthings. In these conversations with himself, Franz Wright shows how the mind works with his feelings and his brain's agility in its struggle with the heart."

paragraph: Cultural critic for the "Chicago Tribune" Julia Keller says that "Kindertotenwald" is "ultimately about joy and grace and the possibility of redemption, about coming out whole on the other side of emotional catastrophe." "This collection, like all of Wright's book, combines familiar, colloquial phrases--the daily lingo you hear everywhere--with the sudden sharpness of a phrase you've never heard anywhere, but that sounds just as familiar, just as inevitable. These pieces are written in closely packed prose, like miniature short stories, but they have a fierce lilting beauty that marks them as poetry. Reading 'Kindertotenwald' is like walking through a plate-glass window on purpose. There is--predictably--pain, but once you've made it a few steps past the threshold, you realize it wasn't glass after all, only air, and that the shattering sound you heard was your own heart breaking. Healing, though, is possible. "Soon, soon," the poet writes in "Nude With Handgun and Rosary," "between one instant and the next, you will be well."

paragraph: Bob Kulick

paragraph: Robert J. Kulick (born January 16, 1950) is an American guitarist and Grammy Award-winning record producer, best known for his studio work with Kiss, and for his tenure in W.A.S.P. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, and is the older brother of former Kiss lead guitarist Bruce Kulick, whom he suggested Kiss hire.

paragraph: Section::::Early career and Kiss.

paragraph: Kulick took a chance in late 1972 and auditioned for the lead guitar spot in a then-new band called Kiss. The band, with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss, was very impressed by his performance, but it was the glitzier Ace Frehley (who auditioned immediately after him) who was chosen to fill the spot. He later played (uncredited) on four Kiss albums: "Alive II" (three of the five studio tracks), " Unmasked " (played Lead Guitar on Naked City), "Killers" (all four new studio tracks), and some minimal work on "Creatures of the Night". He also played on Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album and on his 1989 solo tour..

paragraph: Section::::Other work.

paragraph: Early in his session career, Bob Kulick played lead guitar for Lou Reed on his "Coney Island Baby" record. Kulick followed this up with a long-running stint in the Neverland Express, Meat Loaf's touring band, on and off for years, which led to appearances on several Meat Loaf albums, most notably on 1984's "Bad Attitude". He also formed a band called Balance, with Peppy Castro (formerly of the Blues Magoos) and Doug Katsaros (multi-platinum recording arranger and Broadway conductor), which had modest chart success in the early 1980s, followed up by playing rhythm and lead guitar on Michael Bolton's 1983 self-titled album.

paragraph: Bob was involved with a project called Skull, releasing one album, "No Bones About It", in 1991. Bruce Kulick, his brother, who would become a member of KISS, co-wrote one song and appeared as a guest guitarist on another track. In addition, Kulick played on the W.A.S.P. albums "The Crimson Idol" and "Still Not Black Enough". He was only involved with the studio work and never toured with W.A.S.P. or became a member of the band. In 1996 he released "Murderer's Row" with his band of the same name. This group included David Glen Eisley (of Giuffria and Dirty White Boy) on vocals.

paragraph: Since then, Kulick has served in various side projects such as Blackthorne and Observation Balloon. He also produced Motörhead's "Whiplash" (winner of the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance), produced and played guitar on the theme for WWE wrestler Triple H, and has earned 11 platinum or gold records working with Kiss and Diana Ross. Kulick also composed, produced and performed "Sweet Victory" with singer David Glen Eisley and Eric Singer of KISS in the "SpongeBob SquarePants" episode "Band Geeks" on Nickelodeon. The song further appears on "".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In 1983 Kulick began a long-term relationship with actress Stella Stevens.

paragraph: Kulick now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is a regular participant in the annual "KISS Night in Las Vegas" fundraiser for music programs in Clark County schools.

paragraph: Euphranor

paragraph: Euphranor of Corinth (middle of the 4th century BC) was the only Greek artist who excelled both as a sculptor and as a painter.

paragraph: Pliny the Elder provides a list of his works including a cavalry battle, a Theseus, and the feigned madness of Odysseus among the paintings; and Paris, Leto with her children Apollo and Artemis, and Philip and Alexander in chariots among the statues.

paragraph: No known existing statues have been identified as copies from works of Euphranor (but see a series of attributions by Six in Jahrbuch, 1909, 7 foil.). His work appears to have resembled that of his contemporary Lysippus, notably in the attention he paid to symmetry, in his preference for bodily forms slighter than those usual in earlier art, and in his love of heroic subjects. He wrote a treatise on proportions.

paragraph: He was a contemporary of Antorides, and, like him, studied under Ariston.

paragraph: Qiu Ying

paragraph: Qiu Ying (; (1494? – 1552) was a Chinese painter who specialized in the "gongbi" brush technique.

paragraph: Qiu Ying's courtesy name was Shifu (实父), and his pseudonym was Shizhou (十洲). He was born to a peasant family in Taicang (太仓—now Jiangsu Province) and studied painting under Zhou Chen in Suzhou. Though Suzhou's Wu School encouraged painting in ink washes, Qiu Ying also painted in the green-and-blue style. He painted with the support of wealthy patrons, creating images of flowers, gardens, religious subjects, and landscapes in the fashions of the Ming dynasty. He incorporated different techniques into his paintings, and acquired a few wealthy patrons. His talent and versatility allowed him to become regarded as one of the Four Masters of the Ming dynasty.

paragraph: Three of his best patrons were art collectors. One was Chen Guan from Suzhou. The other two were both younger than Qiu: Zhou Fenglai (1523–1555), from nearby Kunshan, and the well-known wealthy collector Xiang Yuanbian, whose home was in Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province.

paragraph: He signed with the University of Texas at Austin (where his father played) to play first base on November 17, 2004, but never attended, choosing to go straight to professional baseball after he was drafted by the Houston Astros.

paragraph: Section::::Minor leagues.

paragraph: The Houston Astros picked Clemens in the 8th round of the amateur draft, 254th overall. The Astros organization has intended to use him as either a first or third baseman. He signed for a $380,000 bonus.

paragraph: In 2006, he played for the Single-A Lexington Legends of the South Atlantic League, where he batted .229 with 5 home runs and 39 RBIs in 91 games. Clemens' sole appearance as a pitcher in professional baseball was for the Legends in 2006. On June 25, 2006, Clemens was in the news in a game against the Asheville Tourists. He was declared safe in a controversial play on second, leading Tourists manager Joe Mikulik to go on a rampage. Through 2006, in the minors he batted .249 with 9 home runs, 63 RBIs, 7 stolen bases (while being caught once), and a .385 slugging percentage in 449 at bats. That season he hit a home run off of his father, Roger Clemens, in a minor league exhibition game. In Koby's next at bat, Roger threw a brushback pitch at Koby in retaliation. They also played a game together in 2006,when the elder Clemens was making his comeback with the Astros and pitched a game for Lexington.

paragraph: In 2010, he again played for Corpus Christi and then played with the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League.

paragraph: In 2011, Koby was with the Houston Astros' Triple-A affiliate, the Oklahoma City RedHawks of the Pacific Coast League, as their first baseman.

paragraph: Clemens started playing at the Puerto Rico Baseball League with the Mayagüez Indians as a first baseman in the fall of 2011. However, he abandoned the team abruptly on November 10, 2011. There were rumors that his father, former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens, persuaded him to leave the island because of the kidnapping of Washington Nationals catcher, Wilson Ramos in Venezuela the day before. For abandoning the team with no reason given, Koby has been banned from playing baseball in the Caribbean Baseball Confederation.

paragraph: On February 9, 2012, Clemens signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. During the 2012 season, he played for the Blue Jays' Double-A affiliate, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats of the Eastern League, and their high Single-A team, the Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League as a catcher, first baseman, third baseman, outfielder, and designated hitter. He was released at the end of the season.

paragraph: On February 13, 2015, Clemens was hired as a minor league spring instructor for the Astros farm system. Astros Director of Player Development Quentin McCracken said that the Astros "expect by the end of the year or by next season he will be on staff fully." He now owns his own baseball company called Koby Clemens Baseball Clinics and teaches individual and private lessons.

paragraph: Paul Puget

paragraph: Paul Charles Marie Curet, called Puget (25 June 1848 –15 March 1917) was a French composer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Nantes in a family of musicians (his father Henri Puget was a renowned tenor at his time), Paul Puget studied at the Conservatoire de Paris, piano in Antoine François Marmontel's class and musical composition with Victor Massé. In 1873, he entered the competition of the Institut de France and obtained the first Grand Prix de Rome for his cantata "Mazeppa".

paragraph: From his stay at the Villa Médicis from 1874 to 1877, date his "ouverture de Macbeth", for orchestra, an "Ode by Jean-Baptiste Rousseau "Sur l'aveuglement des hommes du siècle"" for barytone, choir and orchestra, and a "Symphonie en ut". In 1896, he composed stage music for Musset's "Lorenzaccio", premiered by Sarah Bernhardt at the Théâtre de la Renaissance. In 1900, he was appointed conductor of the choirs of the Opéra de Paris.

paragraph: If he is mainly known for his lyrical works, he also composed many melodies, pieces for piano, a "Bassoon solo with piano accompaniment" which served as a competition piece at the Conservatoire de Paris in 1899 and 1916, a suite for orchestra titled "Scènes champêtres" and some pages of religious music.

paragraph: In 1883, he was in the news. The Count of Lagoda, a Russian officer, who lost his fortune and whom the young actress left in Saint Petersburg, found a portrait of Blanche Miroir framed in flowers in his home. He provoked the musician, and a sword fight took place on April 18, near Paris. The Russian was slightly injured in the right arm. The next day, Mr. de Lagoda left for Brussels. He reproached the actress for her betrayal, and it is as a result of these scenes of jealousy that he tried to kill her and killed himself.

paragraph: Noah Lowry

paragraph: Noah Ryan Lowry (born October 10, 1980) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball for the San Francisco Giants from 2003 to 2007.

paragraph: Section::::College and the MLB Draft.

paragraph: Lowry was first drafted out of Nordhoff High School, in Ojai, California, by the Texas Rangers in the nineteenth round of the 1999 MLB Draft, but instead opted to attend Pepperdine University. At Pepperdine, Lowry went 14-2 with a 1.71 ERA as a junior. In 2001, the San Francisco Giants drafted Lowry with the 30th and last pick of the first round in the 2001 MLB Draft.

paragraph: Section::::Major league career.

paragraph: Following a September call-up in 2003, Lowry enjoyed a very successful partial rookie year for the Giants in , going 6-0, and finishing with a 3.82 ERA in fourteen starts. He was named the National League's Player of the Week for the week of August 9. With an early victory to start off the 2005 season, Lowry began his career with a 7-0 record, the longest winning streak for any pitcher in San Francisco Giants history (and the second longest in Giants franchise history, behind Hooks Wiltse's 12-0 start in 1904).

paragraph: Lowry got eighteen starts before the 2005 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and compiled a 2.43 ERA after the break. His best month came in August, when he went 5-0 with a 0.69 ERA, earning him Pitcher of the Month honors. He finished the season with a 13-13 record, 3.78 ERA, and 172 strikeouts in 204⅔ innings.

paragraph: Prior to the 2006 season, the Giants signed Lowry to a four-year deal with an option for a fifth year, valued at $9.25 million. At the time, it was the second largest contract for a pitcher with only one full season of big league service. Lowry received a $1 million signing bonus and $385,000 salary for 2006. The contract guaranteed him totals of $1.115 million for 2007, $2.25 million for 2008, and $4.5 million for 2009. The contract included a 2010 option for $6.25 million that would have been activated automatically if a certain number of starts, innings, and Cy Young Award vote placements was achieved. The 2010 option also included another $1.5 million in incentives.

paragraph: Injuries hampered his performance right from the beginning of the 2006 season. In his first start of 2006, Lowry was removed from the game in the second inning due to an oblique strain, forcing him to miss the first month of the season. Lowry also suffered from an elbow injury in September.

paragraph: Despite a losing season for the Giants in 2007, and a season cut short by a forearm injury, Lowry won a career-high 14 games, the most for any pitcher on the Giants staff. He finished the season with a 14-8 record and a 3.92 ERA.

paragraph: Lowry was slated as the number three starter for the Giants in 2008, but the forearm injury that shut him down in 2007 kept him out of the 2008 season. After having trouble throwing strikes early on in spring training, Lowry was diagnosed with exertional compartment syndrome and had surgery on his left forearm on March 7. In September 2008, he also had an arthroscopic procedure to remove a bone spur from his left elbow.

paragraph: In May 2009 Lowry had a rib surgically removed to relieve the continued pain in his shoulder and neck associated with his recent diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome. The new diagnosis brought the original diagnosis of exertional compartment syndrome into question, along with the necessity of his 2008 surgery. Lowry's agent, Damon Lapa, claimed that the Giants' medical staff had misdiagnosed the injury and subjected Lowry to an unnecessary arm operation, turning a potential short-term recovery into a lengthy medical ordeal. Lapa said Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Greg Pearl confirmed the diagnosis in separate consultations with Lowry. Lapa said the circulatory issue was the source of Lowry's forearm tightness in August 2007 and loss of control in spring training 2008, but that the Giants' medical staff failed to identify the problem. The Giants, however, denied any wrongdoing.

paragraph: As of February 2010, Lowry was working out under the direction of noted personal trainer Brett Fischer at Fischer Sports Physical Therapy & Conditioning in Phoenix.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In a February 28, 2013 interview on Chronicle Live, Lowry stated, "It doesn't look like baseball is going to be in my future," and gave viewers a status update of his still-deteriorating health, his young family, his current career as an entrepreneur and ecology advocate, and his love for the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general.

paragraph: Lowry lives in Santa Rosa, California, with his wife Andrea Montoya Lowry and daughters Averlee and Anniston. An avid outdoorsman and sportsman, he is co-owner of Santa Rosa Ski & Sports.

paragraph: George Tchobanoglous

paragraph: George Tchobanoglous (born May 24, 1935) is an American civil and environmental engineer, writer and professor.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: George Tchobanoglous was born in the United States to Greek immigrant parents. He received a BS in civil engineering from the University of the Pacific, an MS in sanitary engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and a PhD in environmental engineering from Stanford University. Rolf Eliassen was his PhD adviser at Stanford.

paragraph: He joined the faculty of the University of California, Davis, in 1970 and remained there for the rest of his professional career, teaching courses on water and wastewater treatment and solid waste management. He has said "the University has basically been my life." He is now a professor emeritus in the university's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

paragraph: He is a former president of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors.

paragraph: Tchobanoglous and his wife, Rosemary Ash Tchobanoglous, are the parents of three daughters.

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: Tchobanoglous' principal research interests are in the general areas of wastewater treatment, water reuse, and solid waste management.

paragraph: In the 1970s he studied the use of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment. One application of his findings was in his assistance to the city of San Diego in establishing an aquaculture facility that remained in use for more than 20 years. For the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) he directed the development of a series of four regional guidance manuals on the restoration, rehabilitation, and creation of salt marshes.

paragraph: Tchobanoglous' investigations of filtration technologies for wastewater treatment led to California state approval of five alternative technologies in addition to the two conventional technologies that had been approved as of the early 1970s.

paragraph: His work in the use of ultraviolet radiation for wastewater disinfection began in the early 1990s, when he investigated the potential to use UV to disinfect wastewater in order to reclaim it for reuse. Guidelines for UV disinfection that he helped to draft in 1993 became "the standard" U.S. resource on this topic and helped foster the acceptance of UV disinfection as a technology for water reuse.

paragraph: In the 2000s, Tchobanoglous focused his attention on decentralized wastewater management, delivering numerous speeches on the challenge of providing effective systems to collect, treat, and reuse or disperse wastewater produced in locations where it is not practicable to provide sanitary sewers and centralized wastewater treatment.

paragraph: Section::::Students.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.:George and Rosemary Tchobanoglous Fellowship.

paragraph: In 1999, the University of California, Davis, established an endowed fellowship for graduate students in environmental engineering, named for George and Rosemary Tchobanoglous. The fellowship is awarded to students working toward master's degrees without an expectation of candidacy for a doctorate. Tchobanoglous has supported the fellowship through donations. The focus on master's degree students is based on Tchobanoglous' concern that these students often lack access to the financial resources that are available to PhD students who can obtain funding by writing their own research proposals.
