<mask> (January 5, 1794 – June 18, 1865) was a wealthy Virginia planter who served in the Virginia Senate from 1823 to 1827. In the last three decades before the American Civil War, his pro-slavery writings received more attention than his agricultural work. <mask>, a slaveholder, staunchly advocated states' rights and slavery, arguing for secession years before the Civil War, and became a political activist with the so-called Fire-Eaters. <mask> is given credit for "firing the first shot of the war" at the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861 and fought as a Confederate soldier despite his advanced age. When the war ended in Southern defeat in 1865, he committed suicide rather than submit to "Yankee rule." Ruffin is also known his pioneering work in methods to preserve and improve soil productivity. He recommended crop rotation and additions to restore soils exhausted from tobacco monoculture.Early in his career, he studied bogs and swamps to learn how to correct soil acidity. He published essays and, in 1832, a book on his findings for improving soils. He has since become known as "the father of soil science" in the United States. Early and family life
<mask> was born on January 5, 1794, at Evergreen Plantation just east of Hopewell in Prince George County, Virginia. A descendant of William Randolph, he was born into Virginia's planter class aristocracy and inherited large tracts of land along the James River. His father was <mask> (1765-1810) and <mask> was named after his grandfather, <mask> (1744-1807), who represented Prince George County in the Virginia House of Delegates during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1778, 1782-1788). He received a private education suitable to his class, then attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.In 1813, <mask> married Susan Hutchings Travis of Williamsburg. The couple moved to a plantation that <mask> inherited from his namesake grandfather, at Coggin's Point, along the James River in Prince George County, which was noted as the departure point of Benedict Arnold after he switched allegiances  and raided along the James River (including Richmond) in 1781. They had eleven children before <mask> died in 1846, although most would die before the American Civil War ended and their father committed suicide: <mask> Jr. (1814-1875), <mask> Beckwith (1816–1865), Julian Calx <mask> (1821–1864, who died at the Battle of Drewry's Bluff), <mask> Sayre (1821–1860), <mask> Bland (1823–1855), <mask> Dupuy (1829–1855), Charles Lorraine <mask> (1832–1870; VMI graduate who survived the war), <mask> (1832–1855), <mask> (1844–1863) and George Champion <mask> (1845-1913). Antebellum life

Soldier
Ruffin enlisted as a private in the Virginia Militia during the War of 1812, and served as secretary of the 4th Virginia Infantry, but did not experience battle. Decades later he enlisted in the Palmetto Guards of South Carolina. Planter and intellectual
Ruffin, like many other planters in Virginia, farmed using enslaved labor. He owned several plantations including Coggins Point and Shellbanks in Prince George.In 1820, he owned 52 enslaved negroes and mulattoes in Prince George county, which number had grown by 1830 to 86 enslaved people,  and by 1840 grew to 96 enslaved people. The 1850 census was the first with separate slave schedules, and by then <mask> owned 84 enslaved people in Prince George county,
 and 41 enslaved people in  Hanover County, Virginia. In the 1860 census, 31 slaves of <mask> were leased to someone in Charles City county, his sons <mask> Jr. and J. C<mask> owned 95 slaves and 22 slaves, respectively in Prince George county, and probably <mask> owned additional slaves in Hanover County. In his twenties, Ruffin began experimenting with using marl to rejuvenate the soil on his land that had been worn out by more than a century of monoculture of tobacco, a crop which consumes many nutrients from the soil. An educated man, Ruffin was interested in agricultural science but did not like farming or supervising slaves and in 1835 moved from his plantation in Prince George to the City of Petersburg becoming an absentee landowner, leaving the day to day management of his plantations and supervision of slaves to overseers. In 1843, Ruffin purchased another plantation, Marlbourne, in Hanover County near Richmond, in the Virginia Tidewater and moved there from Petersburg. Tobacco had long been cultivated on the land and the soil was exhausted, so Ruffin became a serious agronomist and a pioneer in promoting conservation and soil rejuvenation.Ruffin became one of a circle of intellectuals who worked to change various aspects of Southern life. His colleagues included Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, George Frederick Holmes, James Henry Hammond, and William Gilmore Simms. Their interests spanned Southern society. For example, Ruffin edited writings of William Byrd of Westover Plantation The Westover Manuscripts, containing a history of the dividing line twixt Virginia and North Carolina: a Journey to the Land of Eden A.D. 1733 and a Progress to the Mines. (Published in Petersburg, Virginia in 1841 and in Albany, New York in 2 volumes in 1866). Many in the group argued "stewardship" justified slavery, influenced by the evangelical tradition that generated reform in the North as well, and published their recommendations and "jeremiads" in short-lived periodicals and felt unjustly neglected by fellow Southerners. For a time in the 1840s, <mask> was editor of the Farmers Register.He did serious studies of the possibility of using lime to raise pH in peat soils. Ruffin presented a paper, later expanded into an article for American Farmer and eventually into the highly influential book An Essay on Calcareous Manures (1852). He explained how applications of calcareous earths (marl) had reduced soil acidity and improved yields of mixed crops of corn and wheat on his land, which had been worn out by two centuries of tobacco farming. These works and others have led to his being called the "father of soil science" in modern times. During the pre-war years, Ruffin also studied the origin of bogs and published several detailed descriptions of the Dismal and Blackwater swamps in Virginia. Some now consider Ruffin better known for his substantive contributions to agriculture, rather than his claim to have fired the first shot of the Civil War at Fort Sumter. However, his advice on the value of marl was not widely followed in his own time.In an 1852 address, he warned planters that not paying attention to their soil could lead to ruin, and the South suffered from exhausted soils after the Civil War. Slavery activist
<mask> strongly supported slavery and what he considered the Southern way of life. He became increasingly outspoken as sectional hostilities heightened in the 1850s. Some called him a Fire Eater because he advocated secession and armed conflict in defense of the South. Noting how his audience had changed, he wrote in his diary in January 1859, "I have had more notice taken on my late pamphlet [on slavery] than on anything I ever wrote before." In 1859, <mask> traveled to attend the execution of John Brown at Charles Town, Virginia (now West Virginia), following the abolitionist's abortive slave revolt at Harper's Ferry earlier that year. To gain access to the event, Ruffin joined the Virginia Military Institute corps of cadets (from which his son had graduated).Wearing a borrowed overcoat and carrying a weapon; the aging, white-haired secessionist marched into Charles Town with the young cadets who had been ordered up from Lexington. <mask> would soon purchase several of the pikes captured from Brown and his forces, which had been intended to arm slaves in a general uprising. Ruffin sent a pike to each of the governors of the slave-holding states as proof of violent Northern enmity against the South and slavery. In 1860, <mask> published his book, Anticipations of the Future, to Serve as Lessons for the Present Time. Written in the form of letters to the London Times from 1864 to 1870 from a fictional English resident in the United States, he played out the result of the election of Republican candidates in the United States. He predicted an American civil war in 1868 following the re-election of President William H. Seward, which would ultimately result in a victory for Southern states. Although most of his predictions were wrong, <mask> did correctly predict that the war would start with a Southern attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina.Civil War

After the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860, <mask> traveled to South Carolina, where he had previously worked as an agronomist, hoping to encourage secession (perhaps because, as Swanberg says, his fellow Virginians found his views too extreme). He wrote to his son, "The time since I have been here has been the happiest of my life." <mask> is credited with firing one of the first shots from Morris Island against the federally held Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, which is generally considered the military event that initiated the war; the actual first shot against Fort Sumter was a signal shot by Lt. Henry S. Farley from Fort Johnson under the command of Captain George S. James. <mask> was also the first person to enter Fort Sumter after it fell to Southern forces. During the Civil War, his grandson Julian Beckwith was one of the first Petersburg Confederate soldiers to fall during the Battle of Seven Pines on May 31, 1862. As Union forces threatened Richmond the next summer, <mask> left Marlbourne for Beechwood, the Prince George County home of his son, <mask> Jr. In June 1864, after the Army of the Potomac under General Ulysses S. Grant stealthily crossed the James River into Prince George over a hastily constructed pontoon bridge a few miles east of Beechwood at Flowerdew Hundred, <mask> allegedly escaped capture by hiding under a load of hay in a wagon driven by one of his slaves.He fled west to the relative safety of another son's plantation home, Redmoor, in Confederate-held territory west of Petersburg in Amelia County. Several of <mask>'s plantations were occupied and plundered by Union forces during the war. His plantation on Coggins Point was the scene of the Beefsteak Raid during the Siege of Petersburg. Death and legacy

When the war ended with Confederate defeat, <mask>, who had already suffered the loss of his wife and eight of his eleven children, was crushed. Increasingly despondent after the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House in 1865, along with the other surrenders that were to follow, <mask> decided to commit suicide. On June 18, 1865, while staying with his son and daughter-in-law at Redmoor in Amelia County, <mask> went up to his room with a rifle and a forked stick. He was called away to greet visitors at the front door.After they left, <mask> returned to write a final diary entry:

And now with my latest writing and utterance, and with what will [be] near to my latest breath, I here repeat, & would willingly proclaim, my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule—to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, & to the perfidious, malignant, & vile Yankee race. <mask> wrapped himself in a Confederate flag, put the rifle muzzle in his mouth and used the forked stick to manipulate the trigger. The percussion cap went off without firing the rifle, and the noise alerted <mask>'s daughter-in-law. However, by the time she and his son reached his room, <mask> had reloaded the rifle and fired a fatal shot. <mask>. and neighbor William H. Harrison transported his body to Marlbourne, his plantation in Hanover County, Virginia, for burial. Both Evergreen (Hopewell, Virginia), the plantation house which his father built in 1807 on the plantation on which <mask> was born, and the Edmund Ruffin Plantation (also known as Marlbourne), remain today and are designated as National Historic Landmarks. <mask> is often called the "father of soil science" in the United States, and his writings have been influential in soil conservation.Date of death uncertainty

<mask> had long proven himself to be a dedicated diarist. He posted three diary entries on the day of his suicide indicating that day to be June 18, which fell on Sunday. Nevertheless, the date was drawn into question by his son <mask>.’s June 20 letter advising brothers George and Thomas of the death. <mask>.’s letter, which surfaced in 1924, unambiguously related the death to have occurred “Saturday last at 12 1/2 o’clock” which was June 17. Biographers Allmendinger and Scarborough extensively reviewed Ruffin’s diary entries and the son’s letter, as well as the circumstances of burial and newspaper publication of the death, and they have debated the case to be made for the 17th and the 18th dates. They have both concluded June 17 to be the more probable date of death, and that Ruffin had become confused and erred in dating his final diary entries. Works by <mask>in

At the age of 14, he played soccer in the 2nd division of Haiti.He is also a music and arts master and performed at Carnegie Hall, in New York at the age of five. Medical career

After graduating from Collège Canado-Haïtien and the Faculty of Medecine and Pharmacy of University of Haiti, <mask> obtained an MA in Political and Health Administration, as a fellow of the Fulbright Scholar Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Afterwards, he received a certificate of specialty in Gynecology and Obstetrics at Isaïe Jeanty maternity and a Ph.D. in Medicine at the University of Haiti. Between July 1994 and June 1998, at the Haitian Association for the National Development, he developed and implemented a primary care system that provided basic health care in poor areas of Haiti. In August 1999, as an evaluation consultant, <mask> was responsible for the impact assessment of the Albert Schweitzer Hospital, an NGO in the field of community development, providing community care to over 260,000 people in Artibonite. Between the years 2000 - 2004, he created and hosted at Radio Vision 2000, the first national interactive program, focused on issues related to reproductive and sexual health. United Nations career

<mask> began his career with the United Nations in 1999, as project officer (October 1999 - April 2001), then programme officer (April 2001 - October 2002) at United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Haiti.Between October 2002 and May 2004, he was technical advisor at Population Services International (PSI) Haiti. In May 2004, he became an international official inside the United Nations system. Until January 2006, he was technical advisor of countries, then sub-regional technical advisor for UNFPA, Division Africa/Ethiopia. In this capacity, he was responsible for providing technical assistance and for ensuring capacity building in key areas of population and health reproduction. In January - December 2006, he worked in a different field of the UN, as Technical Advisor for the Project Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of the United Nations. In January 2007, <mask> returned to UNFPA as Chief Technical Advisor for the Africa region and Global Program Coordinator for the security of inputs into reproductive health (UNFPA). From September 2008 until his special assignment in Haiti, <mask> worked as team leader of the MDG Unit (part of the Office of Development Policy, UNDP).Here he organized jointly with UNDESA the process of preparing the report of the Secretary General on the MDGs, presented at the 2010 G8 Summit and then, with the International Monetary Fund, the preparation of Gleneagles scenarios in more than a dozen African countries. In the wake of Haiti's 2010 earthquake, he was requested by the Administrator of UNDP and the UN Secretary General to assume the duties of head office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary General of the United Nations for Haiti. <mask> worked with the Haitian government, the representation of the United Nations in Haiti and the main donors to develop and implement a strategic plan for the reconstruction of Haiti. He was also involved in coordinating the humanitarian response and in the establishment of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, the central structure of the reconstruction. In June 2011, he resumed his work at UNDP as Resident Representative and Humanitarian Coordinator in Niger. Prime Minister

By the end of August 2011, unofficial comments of Haitian politicians indicated that <mask> might be the next nomination for the post of Prime Minister. On 5 September, he received the official designation for this office from the President Michel Martelly.This would be the third nomination after Jean-Max Bellerive's resignation on 15 May, 2011 and the subsequent rejections by the Senate of the nominees Daniel Rouzier and Bernard Gousse. <mask>'s nomination faces questions regarding his recent residency, as to whether he fulfills the requirement, prescribed in the Constitution of Haiti, of having resided in the country for five consecutive years prior to ratification. The president countered this argument by saying that <mask> was exempt from the residency requirement because he had been working for the United Nations, paying taxes to the United Nations for Haiti. The review and ratification process of his nomination began on 8 September, 2011. The Chamber of Deputies approved his appointment on September 16, in a unanimous vote. On October 5, 2011, the Haitian Parliament confirmed <mask>'s appointment as Prime Minister, making him the 16th and the youngest Prime Minister under the current 1987 Constitution of the country. Resignation
<mask> resigned on February 24, 2012, following a loss of confidence in him from his ministers.He had clashed with ministers and Martelly over several issues, most recently a parliamentary investigation into government officials who hold dual nationality, which is illegal in Haiti. Martelly refused to comply with the investigation, stating the executive branch did not have to comply with the investigation. Some ministers cooperated with the investigation, but others refused. When <mask> called a meeting with ministers to discuss the matter, none appeared. That incident demonstrated their lack of confidence and triggered the resignation. <mask> remains prime minister until his successor is appointed, according to Article 165 of the constitution. He is succeeded by Laurent Lamothe after going through both parliamentary legislative chambers voting results with formal appointment in May 2012; he also held before his nomination and still keeps the ministry control for Foreign Affairs and Cults (Worships).Publications

<mask> (19 November 1888 – 12 November 1961) was a wrestler, butcher and philanthropist from Kristiansund, Norway. He is most known for participating at the 1912 Summer Olympics and for launching the idea for the Kristiansund and Frei Fixed Link. Løvold started wrestling during his journeyman years while living in Oslo. He joined IF Ørnulf and became Norwegian Champion in Greco-Roman wrestling in 1912. This qualified him to the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, but Løvold lost both his matches in the light heavyweight event. He moved back to Kristiansund in 1913, where he founded a wrestling club and started as an instructor. He also founded wrestling clubs in Molde and Trondheim.As a butcher, he ran several butcher shops in town. From 1951, Løvold dedicated his time to working towards a fixed link for Kristiansund. Early life and professional career
Løvold was born on 19 November 1888 in Kristiansund, Norway, as son of Missionary Ole Løvold (1846–1919). Løvold started as a butcher apprentice with his brother B. O. Løvold, before setting out on his journeyman years, where he worked at Bye in Bergen and Axel Jensen in Oslo. He received his trade certificate in 1910. He moved back to Kristiansund in 1913, where he lived for the rest of his life. He married Bergljot, who died in 1958.Løvold established a butcher shop in Storgaten in 1914, which he ran until it was taken over by the municipality in 1917. He then operated various retailing businesses until joining Nordmøre Slakteri. There he was chief of operations until the slaughtering company closed in 1932. He then established Ansgar Kjøtt og Pølseforretning, which at first was located at Nordmør Landbruksforretning butafter two years moved to Massestretet. His store was destroyed in the bombings of the Norwegian campaign during World War II, although rebuilt after the war. After he retired, the store was taken over by his sons. Sports career
It was during the journeyman years in Oslo that Løvold joined organized wrestling.Wrestling in Kristiansund was first introduced by Løvold wrestling at circuses and town fairs. On 8 January 1911 he held a major show against circus artist Erik Blixt, for which Løvold was promised 100 Norwegian krone (NOK) if he won. Although successful, he did not accept the prize money, as it would have made him a professional. He started competing for Fagforeningernes TIF and later IF Ørnulf in Oslo. He represented the latter when he won the 1912 Norwegian championships, thus qualifying him for the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. There he participated in the Greco-Roman light heavyweight, but was sent home after losing both his introductory rounds, against Finland's Karl Lind and Austria's Karl Barl. After moving home to Kristiansund in 1913, Løvold was instrumental in establishing a wrestling club.The sport became popular and within a few years all the major sports clubs were offering wrestling. Especially the labor movement's clubs took up the sport, and Kristiansund was quickly known as a wrestling town. Løvold coached several clubs, including IL Nordlandet and Ynglingen. In 1913 he succeeded at getting sponsorships of NOK 300 from various companies throughout town to purchase mats, which was instrumental in making the sport more popular in town. He later became known as a benefactor and sponsor of local wrestling. Kristiansund's first major national tournament was held in 1915 and the first Norwegian Championships in Kristiansund were held in 1922. Løvold also traveled to the neighboring town of Molde to establish a wrestling club there, although wrestling never became as popular in Molde as in Kristiansund.He also established Trondheim's first wrestling club. From 1939, when the labourers' wrestling clubs in Kristiansund merged to form the club Kristiansund AK, Løvold represented this club. Philanthropy
Løvold was an active member of Foreningen Kristiansunderen, an organization which worked for the betterment of the town. After seeing The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, Løvold started working to build a mermaid statue fountain in Kristiansund. The mermaid statue was never built, although he eventually secured sufficient funding to build a fountain. Løvold traveled to the United States in 1951 to visit his siblings Oscar and Lise in Minnesota, which he had not seen in 42 years. He also visited New York City, where he drove through the Holland Tunnel.On his way home he came in contact with Prime Minister Oscar Torp. Back in Kristiansund, Løvold started working with the idea of building a subsea road tunnel from Kristiansund to the mainland. He discussed the issue in Foreningen Kristiansunderen where it received support. Løvold was an important enthusiast for the fixed link project, which would materialize as the Kristiansund and Frei Fixed Link in 1992. The local press dubbed him the fixed link general. In 1955 he organized an inspection of Freifjorden; using echo sounding it was possible to survey the depth of the fjord. Afterwards he took contact with County Governor Olav Oksvik and the two started working towards implementing the plans.Along with Engineer Gunnar Tonning, Løvold traveled several times to Oslo to meet with national politicians and authorities. In addition to Torp, he consulted the engineering company Aas-Jakobsen, the NATO office and Kolbjørn Varmann, Minister of Transport and Communications. In 1958 a joint municipal and county committee was established to follow up the plans, where Løvold was appointed chairman. Its main function was the ordering seismic surveys of Freifjorden, which gave positive results. Major Worm Eide manned for caution and stated that there was no funding available. Subsequently, a committee led by Ole Mollan was appointed, which criticized the original committee for not prioritizing more critical transport investments. During the entire planning and construction of the Tromsø Bridge, Løvold subscribed to both the Tromsø newspapers, Nordlys and Bladet Tromsø, to follow the development.Erling Kjeldsen, who was the main initiator of the Tromsø Bridge, was an inspiration for Løvold. Following in the steps of Tromsø, Løvold established Tunnellforeningen ("The Tunnel Association"). Its prime goal was to circulate a petition, which received 6,000 signatures—two-thirds of the electorate. The organization also featured paroles in the 1961 Constitution Day parade. During the summer, Løvold painted a large, while "tunnel entrance" on a cliff at Spellmannshaugen as a public relations gimmick. The point he painted was the exact location the Freifjord Tunnel would have its opening. Another organization, Fastlandsforeningen ("The Mainland Association") was established by Løvold on 27 September 1961.That year another public committee was established, again chaired by <mask>. <mask> died on 12 November 1961 in Kristiansund, 72 years old.

<mask> (August 24, 1839 – June 17, 1894) was a United States Congressman and diplomat who served as United States Ambassador to Germany and Austria-Hungary. He was the son of <mask>, a successful New York City merchant and financier. Prior to being elected to the United States House of Representatives he had a successful banking career in Manhattan, settling in Teaneck, New Jersey, across the Hudson River. Early life
<mask> was born in New York City on August 24, 1839. His first school experience was at Mount Washington Institute in New York. He was described by contemporaries as a round-faced, rosy-cheeked boy, with sparkling dark eyes; active though not physically strong. <mask> then attended private school at Golden Hill near Bridgeport, Connecticut, where his academic advancement was so rapid that he was fully prepared for college at the age of 15.He graduated from Yale University in 1860, valedictorian of his class and a member of Skull and Bones. In the same year he married Ellen Maria Sheffield of New Haven, Connecticut. They traveled in Europe, where, in Paris, in 1861, their first child, John Jay II, was born. <mask> attended Columbia Law School, graduating in 1863. Following this, he practiced corporate law in New York City. In 1864, their second child, Sheffield, was born. <mask> followed the family career in banking and industry, serving as a director for the National City Bank, the Second National Bank of New York, the United States Trust Co., the Farmer's Loan & Trust Co. and nine railroads.After the birth of his two sons, he bought a summer home in Bergen County an old-fashioned Dutch farmhouse on the "Teaneck Ridge," an area of Teaneck now adjacent to Route 4 that had been the Garret-Brinkerhoff House in Revolutionary War days. <mask> extensively renovated the old homestead, converting it into one of the most beautiful and celebrated mansions of its time. In 1868, the last child, Marian, was born; she would go on to give birth to his grandson <mask>. In 1869, following the death of his father, John Jay, <mask> retired from his law practice and moved the family full-time to Teaneck. Congressman

Combining eloquence with an interest in politics, <mask>, a Republican, sought and won a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 1872 at the age of 34, representing New Jersey in the 43rd congress. During his first term in Congress. <mask> was considered by his colleagues to be a serious, well-versed and mature public servant - a successful young lawyer, ambitious, with money and energy who was expected to make his mark on politics and statesmanship.<mask> failed in his first bid for reelection, in 1874. After his term ended, <mask> returned in 1875 to his Teaneck home, where he planned improvements to the homestead and looked for additional land investments nearby. In the next year, he embarked upon a European tour, partly to regain his health which had suffered from a bout of typhoid fever. While abroad, <mask> investigated institutions of learning and art in England, France and Germany, and enjoyed the society of scholars, authors and scientists. Arboriculturist
Returning to the United States, <mask> spent most of his time resting and working on his most important hobby—his estate. His great passion was trees and the woods; he was a devotee of arboriculture. Between 1875 and 1880 <mask> was responsible for planting approximately 600,000 trees of numerous varieties.In 1880 <mask> was selected to manage the Republican Presidential campaign but he was unable to complete the assignment because of feeble health. In 1881, President James A. Garfield named <mask> as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Austria-Hungary, but he held this post for only a few months, resigning after Garfield was assassinated. Still active in politics, <mask> was re-elected to Congress in 1883, 1885 and again in 1887. Art collector
In 1886 the <mask> mansion was completed. At Christmas time the family held a glorious celebration with people from all over the country viewing the mansion for the first time. <mask>' favorite room was a gallery which he had designed himself to hold his priceless collection of art treasures from the ends of the earth. It was nearly midnight on April 1, 1888 when <mask>, returning to his apartments in Washington, D.C. after an evening with friends, found on the table in his bedroom two telegrams which told him that his mansion in Teaneck, where his family then was, had been totally destroyed by fire, with a loss of nearly all its valuable contents.He disturbed no one upon receiving this startling news, but very early in the morning awakened his secretary, told him what had happened, and said that he was going to take an immediate train for New York. He left on the train without once alluding to the great calamity. The mansion, once the most beautiful in the area, became known as "<mask>' Ruin" and local residents picnicked near the destroyed home, marveling at what it once had been. <mask> immediately began renovation of the house. German Ambassador
In 1889, <mask> was appointed by president Benjamin Harrison as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Germany. On October 11, 1889, <mask> was presented to the German Empress at a gala performance at the Royal Opera House, given in honor of the Czar of Russia. <mask> remained in the post for one year until a case of homesickness prompted his request for a short leave of absence.He sailed for America in September 1890. In his diary <mask> wrote,

<mask> returned to Germany a year later, remaining in this post until January 1893, when his health began to suffer due to the climate. He traveled south, vacationing in Spain, Morocco, Tunis, Algiers and Italy, hoping the climate would improve his health. State judge and final days
While <mask> was vacationing, Governor of New Jersey George T. Werts appointed him Judge of the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals, then the state's highest court. Turning over the affairs of the legation to his successor, <mask> again returned to the United States to be sworn into his judicial role on June 20, 1893. In February 1894, <mask>' throat began to trouble him seriously, and the illness confined him to his home for days. He continued to try to keep up with his work and was present until the adjournment of the term.A few days later he traveled to the Hygeia Hotel at Old Point Comfort in Virginia, a resort that in the past had been a place of rest for him. <mask> became withdrawn and quiet, an attitude brought on by his physical inability to converse. The last entry in his diary is dated April 10, 1894. <mask> moved himself to Hot Springs, Virginia, where he enjoyed a temporary return of strength. Finding no lasting improvement in his health in Hot Springs, <mask> returned to his home in Teaneck on May 18. By May 31 he was bedridden, and in June he lapsed into a coma. He died June 17, 1894.Hundreds of people lined the streets of Teaneck and Englewood to honor his funeral procession. The trees he had planted himself lined the path of this final journey. At the time of his death, <mask> owned half of what is presently Teaneck. References

<mask><mask> (c. 1865 – December 11, 1895) was an American socialite, gambler, arsonist, and murderer. Due to his ability to manipulate others, the newspapers of the era dubbed <mask>, "The Minneapolis Svengali," "the most cold-blooded murderer that ever walked God's footstool", and, "the most bloodthirsty soul ever to usurp the human frame." A seemingly respectable member of Victorian polite society, <mask> shocked almost everyone who knew him when he was exposed as the mastermind of one of America's most infamous crimes during the Gilded Age—the 1894 murder for hire of dressmaker Catherine Ging. In the hours before his hanging at Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis, <mask> gave a detailed interview to his cousin Edward Goodsell and a court reporter. He admitted to numerous arsons, assaults, swindles, and three unsolved murders. Early life
<mask><mask> was born in Macoupin County, Illinois, the son of William and Lodusky <mask>, and was brought to Minneapolis at the age of one year. When he was about six years old, his family briefly returned to Illinois and stayed for about one year.Following his return to Minneapolis, <mask> "went to a private school conducted by Mrs. Lockwood on Sixth avenue north, and stayed there perhaps six months." Afterwards, he attended the Minneapolis public school system until graduating high school. According to Minneapolis alienist W.A. Jones, <mask>'s boyhood, "shows marked characteristics. In early life he was recognized by his school fellows as a bully, brutal in his instincts, enjoying the sufferings of others, and delighting in the torture of domestic animals." According to Fr. James M. Cleary, a Roman Catholic priest who briefly served as his spiritual director, <mask>, "received no positive religious instruction", beyond being, "taught the difference between right and wrong", and being encouraged, "to do the right and avoid the wrong".However, "no motive was assigned", as to, "why he should shun evil and do good. All was vague and shadowy." Upon graduating, <mask> became a clerk before beginning to gamble at the age of twenty. <mask> later stated that even before this, "my god was always money." According to Fr. Cleary, <mask>, after succumbing to what a later age would call gambling addiction, began "to quiet the stings of conscience" by carefully studying Atheist writings. He reportedly avoided writings critical of Atheism, "for he sought what he found in the ridicule of religion, encouragement for his disordered and deceitful life."Dr. Jones elaborates, "He seemed without a conscience and felt no more concern in planning or executing a criminal deed in manhood than, when a boy, he deliberately impaled a live cat on the side of a fence. He did not seem to realize the enormity of his acts and the influence they exerted on the community as everything he did builded and strengthened his personal egotism." Ging murder
In January 1894, <mask> met Katherine "Kitty" Ging, a tenant of his parents at the Ozark Flats building on Hennepin Avenue and Thirteenth Street. He persuaded her to front him large sums of money, which he used gambling. When Ging demanded the return of her money, <mask> paid her with counterfeit currency. Privately, however, he described her as, "an easy mark." On December 3, 1894, Ging's body was found, shot behind the ear, on a road near Lake Calhoun.It was later revealed that <mask> had persuaded her to purchase a $10,000 life insurance policy which named him as sole beneficiary. <mask> appeared to be in the forefront in the search for the killer. He began playing up the fact that Kitty had borrowed money from him, and how he was certain someone killed her for it. However, <mask>'s brother Adry confided to a family friend Levi Stewart that <mask> had asked him to do away with Kitty. Stewart contacted the Hennepin County Attorney’s office. Adry revealed that the actual killer was Claude Blixt. After the confession of Claude Blixt, he and <mask> were arrested.Trial
<mask>'s trial for first degree murder began, before Judge Seagrave Smith, on January 21, 1895. Hennepin County Attorney Frank M. Nye appeared for the prosecution. <mask>'s defense team included William Erwin, known as "The Tall Pine Tree of the Northwest", and John Day Smith, a Baptist Deacon and Republican State Senator. Smith's experiences as a soldier in the 1st Regiment Minnesota Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War had inspired him to become Minnesota's foremost death penalty abolitionist. The trial lasted, according to <mask>, a total of 46 days and consisted in the calling of 136 witnesses. The prosecution's main witnesses were triggerman Claus Blixt and <mask>'s older brother Adry <mask>. The defense unsuccessfully tried to have Adry <mask>'s testimony ruled in-admissible, calling him insane on the subject".In overruling the objection, Judge Smith quipped, "Well, I don't see that he is any more insane at the present time than the attorney is." After the defense took over, <mask> took the stand himself and denied all allegations. The case went to the jury on Friday March 8, 1895 at 11:30 AM. At 2:15 PM, the jury returned with the verdict, "We, the jury, find the defendant, <mask><mask>, guilty of murder in the first degree." On March 11, 1895, presiding Judge Smith sentenced <mask> to death by hanging. Interview
Prior to his execution, <mask> gave a detailed series of interviews to his cousin Edward H. Goodsell. During this conversation, he admitted to numerous acts of illegal gambling, arson and three other murders.Transcripts were taken down by a court stenographer. His victims included a twenty-year-old "sporting girl" whom he met in Pasadena, California. <mask> claimed to have lured her into a remote location in the Sierra Madre, shot her in the back of the head, and buried her in the woods. <mask> then made off with $7000 which she had carried in her wallet. <mask> also claimed to have fatally shot a "consumptive" near Long Branch, New Jersey, robbed him of $2000, and disposed of his body in the Shrewsbury River. According to Harold Schechter, "His most brutal crime, however, was the slaying of a 'Chinaman' in a New York City gambling joint on Mulberry Street. Getting into an altercation over a card game, <mask>, 'knocked the Chinaman down and kicked him in the stomach.'He then picked up a chair and jabbed the pointed end of one wooden leg into the man's eye. Then, while he was, 'down and howling," <mask> sat down on the chair. 'His skull was kind of thin,' <mask> related with a chuckle, 'and I heard the chair leg smash down through his skull.'" <mask> only admitted his involvement in Ging's murder, however, when it became clear that no reprieve was going to arrive from Minnesota Governor David Marston Clough. At the end of the interview, <mask> quoted the poem, "Happy the man," by John Dryden, saying that it encompassed his philosophy of life. According to Harold Schechter, "Throughout the confession, <mask> does in fact display many of the traits that we now know are typical of serial murderers: overweening narcissism, juvenile sadism... pyromania, a total lack of empathy for other human beings. Like other serial killers, he would experience his 'murderous impulse' as a kind of autonomous 'second self that would suddenly 'come over him.'Interestingly, he also seems to have suffered from convulsions as an adolescent, possibly as a result of a head injury – a factor found in the background of many serial killers." Execution
On the early morning of December 11, 1895, <mask><mask> was hanged at Hennepin County Jail. On the evening of December 10, he said, about members of the clergy, "I like these men and want to show them respectful consideration, but I do not care for religion. As a general thing, men in this sort of predicament get religious because they think it will brace them for the final ordeal. I do not need it. I am perfectly contented." At midnight on December 11, <mask> was visited by John Day Smith, who extracted from him a promise that he would publicly proclaim his faith in Jesus Christ from the scaffold.Moments later, <mask> was clothed in a black robe and cap and led to the gallows by Hennepin County Sheriff John Holmberg. As he ambled to the scaffold, <mask> cheerfully bade the spectators, "Good evening" and requested three cheers for himself. Upon being asked if he had any last words, <mask> gave a long and verbose speech and cracked so many jokes about his imminent death that one eyewitness later recalled that the spectators, "looked upon him almost as if he were a stage performer who would soon take his bow, receive his modicum of applause, and retire." Eventually, <mask> kept his promise to Smith, "He is a religious man and I told him I would pledge him what he asked of me to say. I pledged it to him, although if I honestly believed it, I would say it, and satisfy myself, and it was this: 'Oh, God, for Christ's sake, forgive me for my sins.'" <mask> also said of his brother Adry, "He has done me no wrong. I have done him a great injustice and wrong, and I have asked for his forgiveness and received it."<mask>'s, "flippant monologue," continued until Sheriff Holmberg cut in and ordered him to, "Die like a man." <mask>'s arms and legs were then pinioned and the noose was thrown around his neck. He sneered and quipped, "Keep up your courage boys!" <mask>'s last words were those of a gambler, "Pull her tight; I'll stand pat." The gallows trap swung open at 2:12 AM, but death was not merciful. The rope had been mis-measured and <mask> slowly strangled. He was finally pronounced dead at 2:25 AM December 11, 1895.Sheriff John Holmberg was paid $250 for his services. Burial
After being conveyed to the city morgue, <mask>'s body was autopsied. His brain was removed and weighed in at 55 ounces. In accordance with the then-popular pseudoscience of phrenology, measurements were taken of <mask>'s skull in accordance with the theories of Italian criminologist and physician Cesare Lombroso, who believed that criminals were a distinctive humanoid type. It was announced that <mask> had possessed a "symmetry of skull, brain and face; the protrusion of the front teeth, and the narrow and arched palate". In conclusion, doctors ruled that <mask> was "a degenerate biological phenomenon somewhat below the savage and above the lunatic." Following a funeral ceremony at Lakewood Cemetery, <mask><mask> was interred in a family plot at the Minneapolis Pioneers and Soldiers Memorial Cemetery.Serial killer? In 2010, Minneapolis-based historian and true crime writer Jack El-Hai again brought the crimes of <mask> to national attention. El-Hai had first learned of <mask> while writing an article for the 100th anniversary of the Kitty Ging murder  in 1994. Deeply chilled by <mask>'s cold-blooded nature, El-Hai continued his research on the case for decades. When Edward Goodsell's 1896 book about his cousin was digitized and put on Google Books, El-Hai read the transcript of <mask>'s last interview for the first time and learned of his admission to 3 other unsolved murders. In a February 2010 article for Minnesota Monthly, El-Hai argued that if <mask>'s claims are proved to be true, then his crimes predate those of H. H. Holmes and are contemporary with those of Jack the Ripper. El-Hai expressed hope that <mask>'s other alleged victims would rise from obscurity, as no other justice for them is now possible.He argued that, if this ever happened, <mask> would be proven to have been America's first serial killer. True crime author and historian Harold Schechter has written, "In the end, it is impossible to know whether <mask> killed one victim or (as he claimed) four. All that can be said with certainty is that, as a case of criminal psychopathology – 'moral insanity,' in the terms of his contemporaries – <mask> was, as Goodsell and others saw it, one of the most remarkable specimens of his age." Conspiracy theory
According to <mask>, rumors soon spread that <mask> had been secretly resurrected by a secret society. When researching the Ging murder during the early 1960s, <mask> heard claims that the Freemasons' Grand Lodge of Minnesota had resurrected him. <mask>rry, however, expressed skepticism that <mask> could have survived both hanging and dissection. Ballad
The murder ballad The Fatal Ride, which describes <mask>'s involvement in the Kittie Ging murder, was written in 1895 by Joseph Vincent Brookes, a songwriter and "tragic poet" from Brainerd, Minnesota.When Brookes published the song, however, he used the pseudonym "Marius", possibly to hide the fact that he had borrowed the tune from the 1893 song The Fatal Wedding, by Gussie Davis.

Films

A Hero For Daisy (1999)
Her 1999 film, A Hero for Daisy, called "a landmark film" by The New York Times, is about Title IX pioneer and two-time Olympian Chris Ernst, who (in 1976) led her Yale University rowing team in a protest that increased athletic opportunities for women.This film, which won a Gracie and a Women's Foundation Journalism Award, aired nationwide on ESPN, Oxygen, and WTSN (Canada), was invited to screen at The Smithsonian, and is in thousands of classrooms across the nation. Apple Pie (2002)Apple Pie, which was broadcast on ESPN, chronicles extraordinary athletes and their mothers, including Drew Bledsoe, Mia Hamm, Shaquille O'Neal, Grant Hill, Kenny Lofton, and others. The film was called "illuminating... told with deftness and emotion...priceless" by The New York Times. Lemonade Stories (2004)Lemonade Stories, featuring Richard Branson, Arthur Blank, Russell Simmons, Tom Scott and other entrepreneurs, was the subject of a USA Today cover story, broadcast on CNNfn and is being shown throughout the world on television and in classrooms, board rooms, business schools, and consulting firms. Ten9Eight: Shoot for the Moon (2009)TEN9EIGHT tells the inspirational stories of several inner city teens who discover the power of entrepreneurship and compete in a national business plan competition. The title, TEN9EIGHT, refers to the fact that every 9 seconds a teen drops out of a U.S. high school. TEN9EIGHT was released in the fall of 2009 in a first-of-its-kind partnership with AMC Theaters in New York, LA, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami and Kansas City.BET and CENTRIC networks broadcast TEN9EIGHT initially on February 7, 2010 as part of Viacom's GET SCHOOLED initiative with the Gates Foundation. The broadcast coincided with a special screening at the White House Summit hosted by the US Department of Education and the Library of Congress, as well as the release of a companion book to the film, Teens Blast Off, published by Scholastic. New York Times columnist Tom Friedman said this about TEN9EIGHT: "Obama should arrange for this movie to be shown in every classroom in America. It is the most inspirational, heartwarming film you will ever see." The film was also called "inspiring… should be compulsory viewing in high schools around the country" (Lael Lowenstein, Variety), "very well made" (Mike Hale, The New York Times) and "important," (Marshall Fine, Huffington Post). The film was named by Take Part as one of the 10 best documentary films on education. Also selected as a finalist of VH1's "Do Something" Awards.The Apple Pushers (2011)The Apple Pushers, written and directed by <mask>, narrated by Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, and underwritten by the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, follows immigrant street vendors who are rolling fresh fruits and vegetables into the inner cities of New York (where finding a fresh red ripe apple can be a serious challenge). These pushcart vendors, who have immigrated here from all parts of the world for different reasons, and who have sacrificed so much to come to this country (a near fatal crossing of the Mexican border, as an example) – are now part of a new experiment in New York to help solve the food crisis and skyrocketing obesity rates in the inner city. The film had a special screening at the Aspen Ideas Festival where thought leaders and policy makers, including Robin Schepper (the head of Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move" campaign), discussed the film and the issues of how to tackle the obesity crisis in low-income neighborhoods across the country. In addition, Kathleen Merrigan, Deputy Secretary of the USDA, hosted a special screening of The Apple Pushers at the Motion Picture Association in Washington DC for policy leaders, heads of federal agencies, and others in a position to help spread the message of the film - which is to think creatively about pushing back the borders of food deserts. Contrarian (2013)
Narrated by Fred Dalton Thompson and directed by <mask>, Contrarian chronicles the life of philanthropist and legendary investor, John Templeton, who ranks among the top investors of all time, alongside Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch.

I Am Jane Doe (2017)I am Jane Doe chronicles the legal battle that several American mothers are waging on behalf of their middle-school daughters, who were trafficked for commercial sex on Backpage.com, the classified advertising website formerly owned by the Village Voice. Reminiscent of Erin Brockovich and Karen Silkwood, these mothers have stood up on behalf of thousands of other mothers, fighting back and refusing to take no for an answer.Narrated by Academy Award-nominee Jessica Chastain, directed by award-winning filmmaker <mask>, and produced by <mask> along with Academy Award-nominee Alec Sokolow, I Am Jane Doe is a gut-wrenching human story and fresh look at a social and legal issue that affects every community in America. Called "a gripping legal thriller" (Esquire); "a powerful call to action" (The Los Angeles Times); "a viscerally emotional case (The Washington Post); "especially impressive…a powerful piece of work" (Elle Magazine); and "striking…powerful" (The Film Journal), the film was also highlighted in The New Yorker, Vogue, Cosmo, and People Magazine (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). The film has catalyzed extraordinary activity, including new legislation (on a bipartisan basis) signed by the President in the spring of 2018; investigative reporting into the links between Google and Backpage; and a federal criminal probe of Backpage executives, resulting in a 93-count indictment. I Am Little Red (2017)I am Little Red is a 10-minute animated short aimed at children most at-risk for sex trafficking (e.g. foster-care, runaway, LBGTQ, homeless, and adopted children), with the goal of prevention and awareness. The film, narrated by Academy Award-nominee Jessica Chastain (English) and Aislinn Derbez (Spanish), animated by Academy Award winners Gabriel Osorio Vargas and Pato Escala Pierart from Punkrobot, and written by 10 survivors of sex trafficking (aged 14–21) along with Alec Sokolow (Academy Award nominated writer of Toy Story) and <mask>, is a contemporary re-imagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. I AM LITTLE RED addresses the four tactics a "wolf" (trafficker/pimp) will use to lure Little Reds off their path.A Most Beautiful Thing (2020)

<mask><mask> (November 26, 1928 – March 20, 2008) was an American sociologist who co-authored and oversaw the controversial court-ordered busing plan to desegregate Boston's public schools in the 1970s through the 1980s. He was involved in the school desegregation plans for at least sixteen other northern American cities and the University of North Carolina system. Education and career
In 1949, he received a bachelor's in political science from Northwestern University. <mask> began his career in 1949 as a crime reporter for the Chicago City News Bureau. In 1950, he earned a master's in English literature from Northwestern, then taught at the Pomfret School as an English teacher from 1950 to 1952. He then served as an intelligence officer for the U.S. government from 1952 to 1954. In 1954, he received a master's in sociology from American University.His master's thesis was the first in-depth study of the Federal Writers' Project, the New Deal program to support writers during the Great Depression. <mask> then obtained a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Chicago in 1960. <mask> taught at the U.S. Army War College and Dickinson College from 1955 to 1957. While a Ph.D. candidate, <mask> taught at the University of Chicago. He then taught at the University of Kansas (1959-1961), and Dartmouth College (1961-1962), and spent the following ten years at Teachers College, Columbia University. In 1972 he became Dean of Education and University Professor of Education and Sociology at Boston University. He became a tenured professor of education and sociology at the University of Massachusetts, Boston in 1983.He retired his faculty position 1992 and continued to teach part-time there until his death. National desegregation efforts
<mask> worked as a director of the Institute for Urban Studies, established in 1963 by faculty at Columbia University Teachers College. In that capacity, <mask> was hired by the New York State Education Commission as a researcher and staff writer. He and colleagues Richard Boardman and  Bernard Mackler co-authored Desegregating the New York City Public Schools (1964), commonly known as the Allen Report. The Allen Report was intended to provide the data and research to support the desegregation of the New York City public school system, then the nation's largest school district with more than 1,000 schools and over a million students. <mask> later advised on desegregation plans for New York City, Buffalo, Rochester and White Plains, New York; Bridgeport and Stamford, Connecticut; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania;  Los Angeles and San Bernardino, California. From 1973 to 1985, <mask> was involved in drafting and implementing Boston's controversial desegregation plan.In 1979, he worked on desegregating the University of North Carolina system. In the 1980s, he advised desegregation efforts in the southern school districts of St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri; Little Rock; Mobile, Alabama; and DeKalb County, Georgia. In 1994, he served as the leading expert witness in the federal court case that led to the desegregation of schools in Rockford, Illinois. Boston school desegregation

In 1973, <mask> was appointed to the Boston Mayor’s Commission on the Public School, as U.S. District Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. considered whether the Boston Public Schools were in violation of the Massachusetts Racial Imbalance Act. In 1975, Garrity selected <mask> and Boston University's associate dean, Marvin B. Scott, to draft the Boston school desegregation plan, which involved the busing of thousands of students to break up the high level of segregation in the Boston school system. The plan transformed the Boston schools over a decade marked by incidents of racial conflict and violence, often directed by working-class whites against black students. <mask> was critical of  Common Ground, J. Anthony Lucas's Pulitzer-Prize-winning book about the Boston busing crisis, saying "social and political demography as well as intergroup history get short shrift," saying the author wove a "complete fabric of exculpation out of the stuff of ... local legends."<mask> believed the book was somewhat unfair and inaccurate in its depiction of Judge Garrity, with whom <mask> had a close and enduring professional and personal relationship. Conflict with John Silber

<mask> was one of fifteen academic deans who led a revolt against Boston University President John Silber, who survived multiple "no-confidence" votes by trustees and faculty in the 1970s and 1980s. Silber's firing of the deans was the subject of a cover article for Esquire Magazine in 1977 by Nora Ephron. Praise
"He had a deep and abiding desire for achieving justice. He would have nothing to do with a plan that wasn't designed to achieve justice. Justice as he saw it was justice for people of color as well as for white people. It was justice for people of limited income as well as for affluent people.That was something that stayed with him." — Charles Willie, one of the court-appointed special masters for Judge Garrity's desegregation plan. Personal life
<mask> was the son of Arnold and Jennie Munsen <mask> of Oak Park, Illinois. His wife, Helen Hosmer <mask>, whom he married in 1950, was an artist who designed a number of book jackets for <mask>'s publications and in her fifties returned to school to become a paralegal. She retired after ten years with the Boston law firm Hale & Dorr. They had one daughter, <mask>, and two sons, Eric Arnold <mask> and Robin Howard <mask>. His brother, Rev.<mask> (1922-2013), a board member of the Heifer Foundation, was a pastor active in the liberal Christian denomination, Disciples of Christ, who began his ministerial career serving an African-American congregation in the 1950s. <mask> served as president of the congregation of First Parish Unitarian-Universalist Church of Lexington, Massachusetts. His principal avocation was poetry. In the final year of his life, he became the oldest student to enroll in the poetry-writing seminar taught by acclaimed Massachusetts poet Tom Daley, who eulogized Dentler at a memorial service held at First Parish Church in April 2008. <mask> died of geriatric myelodysplasia. Personal and professional biographical information about <mask> has been collected by independent scholar Thomas Quirk. Bibliography

<mask> (May 26, 1941July 28, 2009) was an American football coach, formerly serving as defensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles. Widely regarded as one of the best defensive coordinators in the National Football League (NFL), he was especially known for being a master architect of blitzes, disguising them skillfully and keeping offenses off balance. In more than 40 years of coaching, <mask> held head coaching duties only once (at the collegiate level), but was interviewed by the Arizona Cardinals regarding their head coaching vacancy in 2004. Playing career
A native of Maywood, Illinois, <mask> played high school football for Proviso East High School in Maywood, Illinois. He played college football for head coach Dan Devine at the University of Missouri from 1959 to 1962. An all-Big Eight quarterback, <mask> played in the same backfield with long-time NFL executive Bill Tobin. He went undrafted in the 1963 NFL Draft, but was signed to play tight end by the Buffalo Bills of the AFL (1963–64).Coaching career

<mask> began his coaching career as head coach at Missouri Southern (1967–68), before serving four-year tenures at Drake University (1969–72) and Indiana University (1973–76). In 1977, <mask> was hired by his former head coach at Missouri, Dan Devine, as defensive backs coach at University of Notre Dame. After helping the 1977 Fighting Irish to win the national championship in his first year, <mask> was later promoted to defensive coordinator and assistant head coach under Gerry Faust. Leaving Notre Dame in 1984, <mask> coached in the short-lived USFL with the Oklahoma Outlaws (1984) and Jacksonville Bulls (1985). In 1986, he finally entered the NFL as a coach, spending eight seasons with the St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals (1986–93). After overseeing the Cards defensive line for four seasons, <mask> excelled as their secondary coach, helping Aeneas Williams become the first rookie cornerback to lead the league in interceptions (6) since 1981. In 1994, he joined the Indianapolis Colts as linebackers coach under head coach Ted Marchibroda.After defensive coordinator Vince Tobin left the Colts in 1996 to become head coach of the Cardinals, <mask> was deemed his successor by new Colts head coach Lindy Infante. The Colts finished last in the AFC East in 1997, causing Infante and his staff to be fired. <mask> spent the 1998 NFL season as linebackers coach on the final staff of Seattle Seahawks head coach Dennis Erickson, before leaving for Philadelphia. He helped the Seahawks register 10 TDs on defense, including 8 INTs returned for scores, 2nd most in NFL history. If <mask> had stayed, he could have stepped into the coordinator's role when Fritz Shurmur died of cancer that summer. On January 22, 1999, Eagles head coach Andy Reid targeted and hired <mask> as the Eagles new defensive coordinator. <mask>'s tenure in Philadelphia was his most successful, as the Eagles won 5 division titles, each reaping the benefits of his defenses.Because head coach Andy Reid is known more for his acumen on the offensive side of the ball, he handed complete control of the defensive unit of the team to <mask>, allowing Reid to concentrate on running the offense with his offensive coordinators, Brad Childress and later Marty Mornhinweg. Reid repeatedly said he had full confidence in <mask> and the Eagles rewarded him accordingly, as he became one of the highest paid coordinators in the NFL. "As I've said many times, <mask> is the best in the business at what he does", said Reid upon signing his prized defensive coordinator to a lucrative four-year contract extension in 2005. "His defensive units continue to produce at a very high level as he puts a lot of pressure on opposing offenses." From 2000–07, <mask>'s units rank tied for first in the NFL with 342 sacks, second in the league in 3rd down efficiency (34.3%) and red zone touchdown percentage (43.0%), and fourth in fewest points allowed (17.6 per game). In 2001, <mask>'s unit became the fourth team in NFL history to go all 16 games without allowing more than 21 points. Their streak of allowing 21 or fewer in 34 straight games was second longest in NFL history (Minnesota, 1968–71).In 1999, <mask>'s unit forced an NFL-best 46 turnovers, including a team-record 5 interceptions returned for TDs. Eagles defenders were selected for the Pro Bowl 26 times during <mask>'s tenure. Former Eagle Brian Dawkins led the way with seven. Other Eagles defenders to go to the Pro Bowl under <mask> include Troy Vincent (five), Jeremiah Trotter (four), Hugh Douglas (three), Lito Sheppard (two), and Trent Cole, Michael Lewis, Asante Samuel, Corey Simon, Bobby Taylor (one each). Current NFL head coaches John Harbaugh (special teams and defensive backs), Ron Rivera (linebackers), and Sean McDermott (defensive backs and linebackers) coached under <mask> with the Eagles. Illness and death
Shortly after the Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs, on January 29, 2009, it was announced that <mask> was undergoing treatment for melanoma. In mid-May, <mask> announced a leave of absence due to the advancement of the cancer, with secondary coach Sean McDermott taking over duties as the interim defensive coordinator.On July 24, 2009, <mask> officially resigned as defensive coordinator, with McDermott having the interim tag removed. Four days later, on July 28, 2009, <mask> died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania at the age of 68. Head coaching record

<mask> (born 11 December 1996) is a New Zealand track and field athlete who competes in the pole vault and won the bronze medal in this event at the 2016 Summer Olympics. She is the current New Zealand and Oceania record holder at , and is the outdoor world junior record holder at  (her absolute junior record has since been passed indoors). She also won the silver medal at the Summer Universiade in 2015. In 2018, she placed second at the Commonwealth Games. Personal life
<mask> was born in Auckland, where she still lives in the seaside suburb of Devonport. Her father <mask> previously competed in the high jump while her mother Donna Marshall previously competed as a gymnast. She has two younger brothers.She attended her local primary school and then Belmont Intermediate School and later moved onto Takapuna Grammar School, where she was in the same year as the singer-songwriter Lorde; the two played netball together. <mask> was most fond of netball growing up, with her height and agility giving her an advantage in playing defence. She also participated in a myriad of other sports in her youth, including cross country running, basketball, touch rugby, squash, tennis, swimming, and water polo. Eventually, she moved onto track and field, being a successful high jumper in her early teens before beginning pole vaulting in 2011. <mask> studies physiology at the University of Auckland. Career

In 2011, at age 14, <mask> began pole vaulting. She has always been coached by Jeremy McColl.In 2012, <mask> won the national youth (under 18) title and the New Zealand secondary school championship. The following year she broke the New Zealand youth record and was selected for the 2013 World Youth Championships in Athletics where she finished fourth. In July 2014 <mask> took the bronze medal at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics, with a vault of  which was her first New Zealand national record. In 2015, she claimed her first senior national title at the New Zealand Athletics Championships. and gained the silver medal at the Universiade  with a height of . On 19 December 2015 <mask> set a world junior record of  at Auckland's Mount Smart Stadium. On 17 January 2016 she vaulted  in Brisbane, Australia improving her own national senior and junior records (but not the world junior record).<mask> and McColl's long-term goal had been for her to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but it became clear during 2015 that the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro may already be a possibility. On 23 February 2016, she jumped  at the Vertical Pursuit international pole vault competition at Millennium Institute of Sport in Auckland, setting four new records: New Zealand national, New Zealand under 20, New Zealand resident, and New Zealand all comers. She was subsequently added to the New Zealand team to the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships

On 5 March 2016, she jumped  at the national championships in Dunedin, to surpass her own New Zealand record. It is not clear whether or not this set a new Oceania record. The IAAF normally requires a minimum of three competitors in an event for a record to be ratified and in this case, there were only two. Regardless, the Oceanian record was broken later in July 2016 by Alana Boyd of Australia, with a jump of 4.81 m.

<mask> made her senior international debut at the March 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon. She placed fifth with a vault of , setting a new New Zealand indoor record.In April 2016, <mask> was selected to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In the Olympic final, she cleared 4.50 m, 4.60 m, 4.70 m, and her personal best 4.80 m on her first attempts, but was eliminated after failing to clear 4.85 m. Her 4.80 m result and no misses up to that height saw her place ahead of Australia's Alana Boyd to win the bronze medal. At age 19 years and 252 days, <mask> became the youngest Olympic medallist in the women's pole vault. She was also only the fourth New Zealand Olympic medallist in a field event, after Yvette Williams (long jump, 1952), Valerie Adams (shot put, 2008, 2012, 2016), and Tomas Walsh (shot put, 2016). BMX rider Sarah Walker, an Olympic silver medallist, approached <mask> at the Halberg Awards ceremony on 18 February 2016 and has been mentoring her since. On 22 February 2017, <mask> equalled her indoor national record of  at the Vertical Pursuit, held at Auckland's Britomart precinct. Four days later, she jumped a height of  at the Auckland Track Challenge, breaking her own national record and the Oceanian record.On 26 May 2018, Mccartney again broke her national and Oceanian records when she jumped a height of  at the Prefontaine Classic in Oregon. On 24 June 2018, in Mannheim, Germany she improved upon her personal best to 4.86. A few minutes later, she improved it again to 4.92. The 4.92 ranks her as the fourth highest female vaulter in history. On 18 July 2018, at a "street vault" in Jockgrim, Germany, <mask> cleared 4.94m. The vault was a new National and Oceania record and the #1 vault in the world in 2018. In her first competition of 2019, <mask> cleared 4.85 m at the Potts Classic, breaking her New Zealand resident record.An achilles tendon injury in March 2021 prevented her from competing in the Tokyo Olympics.

<mask>r is a citizen of Yemen, once held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. Bwazir's Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 440. American intelligence analysts estimate he was born in 1980, in Howra, Yemen. Bwazir arrived in Guantanamo on May 1, 2002. In December 2015, unnamed officials leaked that Congress had been given notice that 17 individuals would be transferred from Guantanamo starting in thirty days. The US military planned to transfer the last three of those seventeen on January 21, 2016. Both his lawyers and military officials were surprised when Bwazir balked at the last moment, and declined repatriation.On January 5, 2017, Bwazir and three other Yemeni men were transferred to Saudi Arabia. Hunger strike
The Washington Post reports that Bwazir's lawyers assert that Bawazir was one of those participating in the 2006 Guantanamo hunger strike, and that the new harsher procedures camp authorities instituted to break the hunger strike violated last fall's proscription on torture. Camp authorities have been force-feeding hunger strikers. In January 2006, camp authorities started using "restraint chairs" to feed detainees. The Center for Constitutional Rights quoted from the emergency injunction Bwazir's lawyers filed on his behalf, in reaction to what they described as the unnecessary violence of his force-feeding in the restraint chair:
 Forcibly strapped Mr. Bawazir into a restraint chair, tying his legs, arms, head, and midsection to the chair. Inserted of a feeding tube that was larger than the tube that had previously been left in Mr. Bwazir's nose, increasing the pain of the insertion and extraction. Poured four bottles of water into his stomach through the nasal gastric tube every time he was fed even though Mr. Bawazir has never refused to drink water by mouth.Restrained Mr. Bawazir in the chair for extended periods at each feeding. Denied Mr. Bawazir access to a toilet while he was restrained and then for an additional hour or more after he was released from the chair. Placed Mr. Bawazir in solitary confinement. Medical records show Bwazir's weight had dropped to 97 pounds, during the 140 days of his hunger strike. Medical records show Bawazir was restrained in the chair longer than the manufacturer's directions. Lieutenant Colonel Jeremy Martin asserted that the force-feedings were conducted humanely. He explained the extraordinary duration of the detainee's confinement to the restraint chair was due to the length of time the force-feeding took.U.S. government lawyers argued that the bans on torture and cruel and unusual treatment didn't apply to captives in Guantánamo Bay. Justice Gladys Kessler called the allegations "extremely disturbing". On February 11, 2009, US District Court judge Gladys Kessler declined to bar the use of restraint chairs for force-feeding
<mask> <mask>r and
Omar Khamis Bin Hamdoon. Kessler has noted that Bwazir and Hamdoon's petition stated that the use of the restraint chair was "tantamount to torture". However, she stated the opinion that because she lacked the medical expertise to evaluate the position of the camp's medical authorities she lacked jurisdiction to rule on the petition. According to the Agence France Presse, Bwazir and Hamdoon were not opposed to being force fed, and so claimed in their petition that the use of restraints was unnecessary. According to the Agence France Presse, camp authorities are withholding medical treatment for their other ailments from the hunger strikers, in an attempt to pressure them to quit their strike.Official status reviews

Originally, the Bush Presidency asserted that captives apprehended in the "war on terror" were not covered by the Geneva Conventions, and could be held indefinitely, without charge, and without an open and transparent review of the justifications for their detention. In 2004, the United States Supreme Court ruled, in Rasul v. Bush, that Guantanamo captives were entitled to being informed of the allegations justifying their detention, and were entitled to try to refute them. Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants

Following the Supreme Court's ruling, the Department of Defense set up the Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants. Scholars at the Brookings Institution, led by Benjamin Wittes, listed the captives still held in Guantanamo in December 2008, according to whether their detention was justified by certain common allegations:
