<mask> (16 April 1925 – 4 September 2005) was a British-American bridge player, writer, and editor. He wrote the daily bridge column for The New York Times for 41 years, from 1964 to 2005, and served as Executive Editor for the first six editions of The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge from 1964 to 2002. Britain

<mask> was born in Brixton, south London, and showed early prowess at chess. He attended Whitgift School in Croydon and served in the Royal Navy for three years around the end of World War II. From 1947 he studied at the University of Oxford, which he represented at both chess and bridge. With Oxford partner Robert d'Unienville, he was on the British team (along with Terence Reese and Boris Schapiro) that won a bronze medal at the 1951 European Bridge League championships, age only 26. He represented Britain in the same event twice more, finishing second with partner Maurice Harrison-Gray in 1958 (again along with Reese–Schapiro) and first with partner Tony Priday in 1961.He was in charge of organising the 1961 rendition hosted by Torquay in Devonshire, England. As European champions that British team finished third in the 1962 Bermuda Bowl held in New York City. The 1961 European Teams was his only international championship outside the British Isles. America

According to Maureen Hiron, bridge columnist for The Independent of London, in New York City "he fell in love with one of the scorers, in particular, and America in general, and decided to cross the Atlantic." Richard L. Frey, the American Contract Bridge League publications director, recruited <mask> to help edit the ACBL's membership magazine and its Official Encyclopedia of Bridge, whose first edition was underway. <mask> moved to New York City, then the ACBL headquarters, and succeeded Albert Morehead as bridge editor of The New York Times 1 January 1964. <mask> wrote a bridge column for The New York Times daily until March 1994, and then three times a week until April 2005, when he retired due to poor health, for a total of some 12,750 columns.Frey, <mask>, and the editorial board led by Morehead completed the first edition of The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge in 1964. <mask> would be the executive editor of the encyclopedia until his death. <mask> had three children, Frances, Fraser and Philip, with his first wife, Gloria Gilling. That marriage was dissolved 1971 and in 1972 he married the American bridge expert and internationalist Dorothy Hayden, born Johnson, a former math teacher and actuary, who had four children from two previous marriages. <mask> wrote thirteen bridge books, including two with his wife, Dorothy, and one with Phillip Alder. He died of cancer at their vacation home in New Russia, New York, near Lake Champlain. His widow died the following year.Buenos Aires affair

As New York Times correspondent, <mask> covered the 1965 contract bridge world championship Bermuda Bowl in Buenos Aires and became a chief witness in a cheating scandal where Terence Reese and Boris Schapiro, representing Europe, were accused of using their fingers to pass information about their cards. The initial accusers were the American partnership of B. Jay Becker and Dorothy Hayden; the two confided their suspicions to <mask>, a close friend of Hayden's (and later her husband), and to John Gerber, then captain of the USA team. After an investigation, Reese and Schapiro were judged guilty by the World Bridge Federation authorities at the tournament in Buenos Aires. The British Bridge League (BBL) convened its own inquiry, and next year judged them not guilty by the "reasonable doubt" standard. Both <mask> and Reese published books on the affair, The Great Bridge Scandal and The Story of an Accusation. Bridge accomplishments

<mask> (born 18 April 1990) is a Dutch former professional road bicycle racer, who last rode for UCI Women's WorldTeam . She won the gold medal in the women's road race at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and has won the Giro d'Italia Femminile on four occasions. In 2018, and 2020, she won the women's road race at the UCI Road World Championships. Considered one of the most versatile riders of her generation, <mask>en excels in both the one-day classics and stage races, particularly when run on a hilly terrain. Apart from the Olympic road race title and three Giro Rosa titles, other notable wins include La Flèche Wallonne on seven consecutive occasions, Liège–Bastogne–Liège two times, the Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race, Strade Bianche, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the European Road Race Championships. In addition, she has won the general classification and numerous stages in smaller stage races. In 2017, she won all three Ardennes classics races in one week, which earned her the nickname Queen of the Ardennes.She went on to secure her second Giro d'Italia win the following summer. In April 2019, she won the La Flèche Wallonne Féminine, her fifth-consecutive win in the race. In 2020, she won both the Individual Time Trial as well as the Road Race at the UCI World Championships. During the 2020 season, <mask> Breggen announced her intention to retire from the sport at the end of the 2021 season. Career

Early life and amateur career
<mask> <mask> was born in Zwolle into a cycling family. She has three brothers and a sister who all practiced cycling at some point. She started bike-racing at the age of seven with the local club WV Noordwesthoek and became more serious about it in the juniors category.In 2007, aged 17, she was fifth in the juniors world championship road race in Aguascalientes but had a difficult transition to the elite category. She considered quitting the sport after she suffered in the back of the peloton during the Grote Prijs Gerrie Knetemann. 2012–2013: Turning professional
<mask> <mask> turned professional in 2012 with the . In April, she took a ninth-placed finish at the Tour of Flanders, and in July, she won the Tour de Bretagne Féminin. She won three of the four stages and secured the overall classification with a lead of almost three minutes over Sofie De Vuyst. She also won the time trial at the Tour Féminin en Limousin as well as the gold medal in the women's under-23 time-trialling event at the European championships. As a result, she was selected for the 2012 World Championships.Whilst playing a domestique role for her team leader, Marianne Vos, she managed to finish fifth herself in the road race. In 2013 she devoted herself to finishing her studies and rode a low-key season, with the highlight of the year a fourth place at the Trofeo Alfredo Binda. After she obtained her nursing degree, she became a full-time professional cyclist and finished 18th in the Giro Rosa in the summer. She was selected to compete in the World Championships in Florence where she finished fourth in the road race. In preparation for the 2014 season, she announced she would be joining the  team. 2014: Stage race success

<mask> Breggen's first season on the Rabo team proved highly fruitful. She opened the year with top-10 finishes in the Ronde van Drenthe, Trofeo Alfredo Binda, and the Tour of Flanders, and started showing her stage racing potential throughout the season.She claimed notable wins in the overall classification of both the Ladies Tour of Norway and Grand Prix Elsy Jacobs in Luxembourg; as well as a runner-up spot in the Belgium Tour and third places in the Emakumeen Euskal Bira and the Giro Rosa, in a podium made up entirely of  riders. Her season came to an abrupt end when she broke her pelvis at the UCI Road World Championships in Ponferrada, Spain. Her teammate Annemiek <mask>n crashed just before the finish of the Women's Team Time Trial after clipping the roadside barriers and brought down <mask> Breggen and two other riders. <mask> Breggen broke her ilium and was transported to hospital. 2015: First Giro Rosa win

She recovered from her pelvic fracture in the winter of 2015 and won her first major classic, the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, in late February. <mask> Breggen had broken away from a lead group together with <mask> Dijk on the Molenberg, at  from the finish. She beat her fellow Dutch in the sprint.The following week, she was second in Le Samyn des Dames. In April she won La Flèche Wallonne with an attack at the foot of the Mur de Huy, and recorded several podium positions in one-day races. She highlighted her stage race potential again by taking the overall classification at the Grand Prix Elsy Jacobs, which she led from the prologue to the end of the race. In June, she won the bronze medal in the women's road race at the inaugural European Games in Baku. She was part of a four-woman breakaway together with <mask> Dijk, Katarzyna Niewiadoma and Alena Amialiusik, when an acceleration by <mask> Breggen caused her teammate <mask> to be dropped, for the race to be decided in a three-up sprint. <mask> Breggen led out the sprint from afar but was passed by both Amialiusik and Niewiadoma. <mask> Breggen claimed her greatest career victory to that point in July when she won the general classification at the Giro d'Italia Femminile, the most important stage race on the women's calendar and the only Grand Tour for women.She finished fourth in the prologue and second in stage 2, after which she remained in the top-three until the Alpine stages. <mask> Breggen was in third position overall behind maglia rosa wearer Megan Guarnier, when she moved into the race lead on the penultimate day after winning the individual time trial to Nebbiuno. She won the time trial more than one minute ahead of Guarnier and secured her overall win with a second place in the final stage. Later she won the second edition of La Course by Le Tour de France on the Champs-Élysées; and she won the final stage of the Belgium Tour in Geraardsbergen. At the World Championships in September in Richmond, she claimed the silver medals in both the individual time trial and the road race. She finished at two seconds from Linda Villumsen in the time trial, and was narrowly beaten by Lizzie Armitstead in the road race after she started the sprint from afar. She ended the year as second in the UCI Road World Cup, behind Armitstead, and was awarded the Gerrit Schulte Trophy for best female Dutch cyclist of the year.2016: Olympic and European champion
<mask> <mask> opened the 2016 season with 5th place at the Strade Bianche, 4th at the Ronde van Drenthe and 6th at the Trofeo Alfredo Binda in March; but failed to claim a victory until she successfully defended her title at La Flèche Wallonne. She counterattacked a move by Katarzyna Niewiadoma on the Côte de Cherave, at  from the finish, and was followed by only four others over the top. She broke clear again with Evelyn Stevens at  from the finish and powered away from Stevens on the finishing Mur de Huy to claim her second victory in succession. In July, she finished third overall in the Giro Rosa. She was third in the prologue, but lost time in the mountain stages in the Dolomites. She climbed back to third place after finishing second in stage 7's individual time trial and held on to her podium place until the finish. During the Giro she announced she would leave  to join  for the 2017 season onwards.On 7 August 2016, <mask> <mask> won the gold medal in the women's road race at the Rio Olympics. On the final climb, the  long Vista Chinesa, five riders had remained in the front: <mask> Breggen and her teammate Annemiek <mask>, American Mara Abbott, Italian Elisa Longo Borghini and Sweden's Emma Johansson. Van Vleuten jumped away shortly before the top and only Abbott managed to join. In the sinuous descent that followed, <mask>n distanced Abbott and looked on her way to win the race, when she crashed into a concrete banking with  to go and needed to be transported to hospital. Suddenly Abbott seemed on her way to Olympic glory but she was caught back by the three upcoming riders at  from the finish. <mask> <mask> beat Johansson and Longo Borghini in the three-up sprint on Copacabana Beach to become Olympic road race champion. Three days later she won the bronze medal in the individual time trial, 11 seconds behind winner Kristin Armstrong.Following her Olympic success, she was knighted in the Order of Orange-Nassau. In mid-September, she took part in the European Road Championships. She finished second in the time trial behind <mask> Dijk. In the road race she followed an acceleration of Niewiadoma on the final climb, together with Longo Borghini, Alena Amialiusik and Rasa Leleivytė. <mask> Breggen launched the five-woman sprint from afar and became the first ever professional European road race champion. At the World Championships in October, she was a disappointing 13th in the time trial and 87th in the road race, telling reporters she "didn't have the legs anymore after a long season". 2017: Ardennes Triple and second Giro win

After placing 15th in both the Ronde van Drenthe and the Tour of Flanders, and finishing second overall in the Healthy Ageing Tour in early 2017,

 <mask> Breggen became the first woman to win all three of the Ardennes classics in a single year.She won the rebooted Amstel Gold Race with an attack at  from the finish. Three days later, she secured her third straight Flèche Wallonne win after powering away on the Mur de Huy, before emerging triumphant at the first ever Liège–Bastogne–Liège the following Sunday. Her dominance in the climbers races earned her the nickname Queen of the Ardennes. Three weeks later she won the Tour of California, after she surpassed Katie Hall during the last stage thanks to bonus seconds won at an intermediate sprint. In the summer, she won the Giro Rosa for the second time. Her  team had won the opening Team time trial, and <mask> Breggen moved into the race lead after placing second in stage 2. She won the final general classification with more than a minute over Elisa Longo Borghini and Annemiek <mask>n.After Tom Dumoulin's win in the men's Giro d'Italia held in May, it was the first time a Grand Tour was won by both a Dutch man and woman in the same year. Later <mask> Breggen won a stage and was second overall in the Holland Ladies Tour, which secured her lead in the final standing of the UCI Women's World Tour ahead of <mask>n. At the Road World Championships in Norway her  team finished second to  in the team time trial event. She also placed second in the individual time trial behind <mask>n, and eighth in the road race. 2018: Queen of the Classics and first rainbow jersey

As world number one, she kicked off the 2018 season at the Strade Bianche. She won the race, in abysmal weather, after an attack on the penultimate gravel sector of Colle Pinzuto at  from the finish. Three weeks later she won the Tour of Flanders after a  solo breakaway.<mask> Breggen made her decisive move on the Kruisberg and increased her lead over the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg to claim her first Tour of Flanders win. The following week she won the opening time trial and finished fourth overall in the Healthy Ageing Tour, before attempting to defend her titles in the Ardennes classics. She finished 38th in the Amstel Gold Race after an early crash, but won her fourth consecutive Flèche Wallonne three days later, on her 28th birthday. She concluded the Ardennes week with her second win in Liège–Bastogne–Liège, after she powered away from Amanda Spratt on the uphill drag to the finish line. Following the spring classics, <mask> Breggen was unable to mount a defence of her title at the Tour of California and rode at the Emakumeen Euskal Bira instead: the two races clashed on the calendar, Boels-Dolmans did not have enough riders or staff to send squads to both, and chose to enter the European race. <mask> <mask> also elected not to defend her Giro Rosa title in 2018, choosing instead to focus on preparing for a bid to win her first title at the Road World Championships. She did compete in La Course in July, held on a mountainous parcours: <mask> Breggen attacked in the final kilometre of a climb up the Col de la Colombière and led over the top, being pursued on the 14 km descent by Van Vleuten.However, <mask> Breggen ran out of steam on the rise to the finish line in Le Grand-Bornand, and was overhauled by Van Vleuten in the last 100 metres of the race. The following month she raced at the European Road Championships, where she was narrowly defeated in the time trial by countrywoman <mask> Dijk, securing a one-two for the Netherlands. At the Worlds in Innsbruck in September, she started her campaign by taking a silver alongside her Boels-Dolmans team-mates in the women's team time trial. She took a second silver in the individual time trial, where she was denied the rainbow jersey by her compatriot Van Vleuten and formed part of a Dutch clean sweep of the podium places ahead of the third placed Van Dijk. She finally won her first Worlds gold in the road race, bridging over from a chase group to a group of five at the head of the race on the penultimate climb, before launching a solo attack with 39 km to go and crossing the finishing line alone with a lead of over three and a half minutes over runner-up Amanda Spratt. 2019: Success on- and off-road
<mask> Breggen started her 2019 season relatively quietly, making her first two road appearances in the spring at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Strade Bianche: in the latter race she worked as a domestique for team-mate Annika Langvad, who finished in second. Having made some appearances in mountain bike racing the previous year, in March she entered the Cape Epic mountain bike stage race alongside Langvad: the duo won the race by over half an hour.She subsequently announced that she would not defend her Tour of Flanders title so she could recover from her exertions at the Cape Epic, focusing instead on the Health Ageing Tour and the Ardennes Classics later in April. She went on to win her fifth consecutive Flèche Wallonne attacking with 200 m to the finish line on the Mur de Huy to match Marianne Vos' record for wins at the race and securing her first road win since the 2018 Worlds. In May she won the overall at the Tour of California, as well as taking the opening stage after attacking on the final climb of the day to cross the finishing line alone. Later in the year, <mask> Breggen won the GP de Plouay – Bretagne with a solo attack 10 km from the finishing line. At the Road World Championships in Yorkshire, she took two silver medals: in the individual time trial she finished behind champion Chloé Dygert and ahead of Van Vleuten, whilst in the road race she acted as a marker in a chase group attempting to reel in her team-mate Van Vleuten, who made an ultimately successful long-range solo attack with 104 km to go. <mask> Breggen attacked fellow chaser Amanda Spratt in the closing kilometres of the course to secure the silver. 2020: Third Giro win and Worlds double
In 2020 <mask> Breggen enjoyed some early season success at the Setmana Ciclista Valenciana in February: she won the race's second stage with a solo attack on the final climb, the 8.3 km-long Alto de Tudons, taking the overall race lead in the process, which she held on the remaining two stages of the race.In May she announced that she would retire from competition at the end of 2021 after the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics, which are now scheduled to be held in the summer of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following her retirement she is planning to take up a directeur sportif position with the Boels-Dolmans team. Upon the resumption of racing in July, she finished third in the Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa and second in Durango-Durango Emakumeen Saria before placing fourth at Strade Bianche. In August she won the Dutch National Road Race Championships for the first time in her career: before the halfway point of the race she and Anouska Koster bridged across to <mask> Breggen's team-mate Jip <mask> Bos, who had earlier broken away from the peloton. <mask> Breggen eventually dropped the other two riders at the front, whilst they were being chased by another three rider group of Van Vleuten, Vos and Amy Pieters, which similarly disintegrated when Van Vleuten dropped the other two riders. <mask> Breggen crossed the finish line over a minute ahead of Van Vlueten in second. Shortly afterwards she took the gold medal in the individual time trial at the European Road Championships in Plouay, finishing 30 seconds ahead of Van Dijk.The following month <mask> Breggen won the Giro Rosa, becoming the fourth woman to win three editions of the race. She went into the lead on the penultimate eighth stage, where she was pipped to the stage win by Elisa Longo Borghini after the pair went clear of the rest of the leading group on the final climb, taking the pink jersey from Katarzyna Niewiadoma, who in turn had inherited it after previous leader Van Vleuten crashed out of the race on the previous day. Later that month, at the UCI Road World Championships in Imola, <mask> Breggen was crowned world time trial champion for the first time, having previously taken four silver medals in the event: she finished ahead of Marlen Reusser and Van Dijk after reigning champion Dygert crashed out of the race. She went on to win a second road race world title, following and overhauling an acceleration by Van Vleuten with an attack over the top of the penultimate climb of the Cima Gallisterna with 40 km to the finish, and taking victory with a margin of 1 minute 40 seconds over silver and bronze medallists Van Vleuten and Longo Borghini. In doing so she became only the second rider in history to win world titles in the time trial and the road race in the same year, after Jeannie Longo in 1995. Shortly after the Worlds, <mask> Breggen set a new record for wins at Flèche Wallonne when she won the race for a sixth time, moving one clear of Vos, outclimbing Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and Demi Vollering up the final ascent of the Mur de Huy to clinch victory. Personal life
<mask> Breggen lives in Hasselt, in the northeast of the Netherlands.She comes from a religious family and is a member of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated). She is a trained nurse, having graduated from nursing school in 2012. Apart from cycling, she plays the piano and enjoys painting and

<mask>, Jr. (; born October 4, 1956) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1979 to 1993 for the Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves, and Texas Rangers. Leibrandt was a productive pitcher throughout his 14-year career and a member of the 1985 World Series champion Royals team. Early years and education
<mask> was born in Chicago, Illinois. He attended Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, from 1975–1978, where he earned four letters as a pitcher on the baseball team. During his senior year, Leibrandt was selected first-team All-MAC; he compiled a record of 7–2 with an ERA of 1.65. Career
Leibrandt was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth round of the 1978 free agent draft. He made his debut in Major League Baseball on September 17, 1979 in a Cincinnati Reds uniform.A few weeks later, he made his first post-season appearance in the 1979 National League Championship Series, recording an out of the only batter he faced, John Milner. In 1980, Leibrandt made his first major league start in the 4th game of the season as the Reds beat the Atlanta Braves, 5–0, and Leibrandt threw a five-hit shutout for his first career win. But Leibrandt, while 10–9 in 1980, showed little promise in Cincinnati and was traded to the Kansas City Royals for Bob Tufts on June 7, 1983. The following year, Leibrandt went 11–7 with a 3.63 ERA as the Royals won the Western Division championship. In 1985, Leibrandt had the best year of his career, going 17–9 with a 2.69 ERA as the Royals won the World Series. Over the next three years, Leibrandt won 14, 16, and 13 games, but after a disastrous 1989 when he went 5–11 on a second place (but 92-wins) team, the Royals traded <mask> and Rick Luecken to the Atlanta Braves for Gerald Perry and Jim Lemasters. On May 16, 1987, Leibrandt pitched a complete game one-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers.The only hit for the Brewers was a bunt hit by backup Brewers catcher Bill Schroeder. Schroeder would go on to become the TV color commentator for the Brewers. On the last place Braves in 1990, Leibrandt went 9–11 with a 3.16 ERA, finishing behind only John Smoltz and Tom Glavine on the Braves staff in wins. The following year, 1991, Leibrandt was a member of one of two trios in MLB history of southpaws ever to win 15 games on the same staff, sharing that honor with Glavine and Steve Avery, also has been done by the 1997 Mariners since. Leibrandt was generally regarded as a fourth starter on the Braves in 1991 and 1992. On September 29, 1992, Leibrandt recorded the 1,000th strikeout of his career against the San Francisco Giants. In the same game, the Braves clinched the National League West title for the second straight year.On December 9, 1992, Leibrandt was traded to the Texas Rangers along with Pat Gomez for everyday utility player Jose Oliva. In 1993, despite six straight road wins (which no subsequent Texas Rangers pitcher matched until 2009, when it was surpassed by Scott Feldman), he ended with a season record of 9–10 record with a 4.55 ERA, and subsequently retired. Post-season

Kansas City Royals
For all of his successes as a pitcher, Leibrandt is best known for a series of post-season failures and suffering hard luck. In 1984, <mask> and the Royals faced elimination in the best-of-five American League Championship Series against the Detroit Tigers. Leibrandt threw a complete game three-hitter only to lose, 1–0, on a fielder's choice in the second inning. In the following year's ALCS, the Toronto Blue Jays beat Leibrandt badly in Game 1 but he turned in an effective pitching performance in Game 4. However, he lost when, leading 1–0 in the ninth, he walked Dámaso García, who scored on Lloyd Moseby's double.Responsible for Moseby, Leibrandt watched as the Blue Jays scored twice off reliever Dan Quisenberry and got tagged with the loss. He redeemed himself, however, coming out of the bullpen to replace the injured Bret Saberhagen in Game 7 and picking up the win that sent the Royals to the World Series. In the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, Leibrandt again pitched masterfully for eight innings and entered the ninth inning of Game 2 leading a two-hitter, 2–0. It all fell apart again for Leibrandt, though, as Willie McGee doubled to right. With two outs and McGee on second, three Cardinal hits, the last by future Braves teammate Terry Pendleton, scored four runs and saddled Leibrandt with another loss. Five nights later in Game 6, Leibrandt left in the eighth inning trailing 1–0 despite only allowing four hits. However, this time it was the Royals who rallied and won the game 2–1 on a one-out bases-loaded bloop single by pinch-hitter Dane Iorg.In Game 7 the following night, Kansas City blew the Cardinals out, 11–0, to win their first of two World Series titles. Atlanta Braves
In 1991, Braves manager Bobby Cox designated Leibrandt the starter for Game 1 of the World Series against the Minnesota Twins. Leibrandt got the start by virtue of his long post-season rest and the fact he was the only Braves starter who had ever pitched in the Metrodome. Leibrandt lost as he pitched decently but was outpitched by Jack Morris. <mask> is best known for surrendering a walk-off home run to future Baseball Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett in Game 6 of that series. The first pitch of the inning was a change-up, which Puckett took for strike one. The next one was a similar high and outside fastball, which Puckett took for ball one; pitch three was another fastball for ball two.The fourth pitch, and last pitch of the game, was a weak, high change-up that failed to break. Puckett made solid contact and sprinted for first, as was his usual practice. Only after he saw first base coach Wayne Terwilliger throw up his hands in victory did Puckett realize he had hit a home run. Leibrandt was called upon to enter the game in a highly unfamiliar role – as a reliever late in the extra-inning game, and very late at night. Cox endured some criticism for the move because the Braves still had several relievers at their disposal including left-hander Kent Mercker and right-handers Jim Clancy and Mark Wohlers, but the move made sense on another level, because Leibrandt was the only pitcher left on their roster who had previous World Series experience, and although Leibrandt had been subpar in his Game 1 start, the three hitters scheduled to bat for the Twins in the 11th had been a combined 0 for 6 against Leibrandt in that game, including two strikeouts of Puckett. Leibrandt again had the opportunity to play in the World Series with the Braves the following year. The Braves lost that series also, this time to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games.In the final game, in circumstances eerily similar to Game 6 of the prior year's Series, Leibrandt was called in as a reliever in an extra-inning game. Just as in 1991, Cox was criticized for using Leibrandt as a reliever with closer Jeff Reardon and relievers Marvin Freeman and David Nied still available. Toronto rallied for two runs in the top of the 11th on a hit by Dave Winfield. The Braves did manage to get one of those runs back in the bottom of the 11th; however, it was not enough and Leibrandt ended up as the losing pitcher. Personal life
<mask> and his wife, Corrine, have four children—a daughter and three sons. He and his family continued to make their home in the Atlanta area after his retirement, and he coached his sons’ high school baseball teams at Marist School. The youngest son, Brandon, plays in Major League Baseball for the Miami Marlins.His middle son, Brodie, was a starter at Columbus State University, in Columbus, Georgia. Leibrandt's oldest son, Ryan, is a physician in New York City. References

<mask> (in Russian: ) was a Russian soil scientist and agricultural chemist. Biography

<mask> was born 21 June 1873 in Ryazan in the family of a non-commissioned officer Pavel Alexeyevich Kravkov (1826-1910), who served as a senior clerk in the office of the Chief Enlistment Officer of the Ryazan Governorate. According to the family legend, the scientist's mother Evdokia (Avdotia) Ivanovna (1834-1891), before wedding a «Kaluga petty bourgeois», was an illegitimate daughter of Konstantin Kavelin (1818-1885), a famous Russian historian, jurist and sociologist, one of the ideologists of Russian liberalism at the age of the reforms of Alexander II. In 1882-1892 <mask> attended the First Ryazan Gymnasium. In 1892-1896 he went on to study at the Natural Science Department of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Imperial Saint Petersburg University. The future scientist's graduation thesis “On the crop rotation” was awarded a gold medal. After the graduation <mask> remained at the Agronomy Chair of the Imperial Saint Petersburg University where he worked under the guidance of Professor Sovetov.In 1898 his first scientific work “” (On the effect of electrostatic charging of soil on the processes going on in it) was published. In 1898 <mask> carried on geobotanical researches in the Derkul steppe in Kharkov Governorate. Their results were published in the “” (Works of the Free Economic Society) and the “” (Agricultural newspaper). The years from 1898 to 1900 <mask> spent in practical trainings abroad (Germany, Switzerland, France, Great Britain). After that he had headed for two years a research farm of the Agricultural Institute of Nowa Aleksandria (now Puławy in Poland). In these years the scientist gained wide practical and agronomical experience. Since 1901 Kravkov prelected general agronomics at the Professor Stebut's Agricultural Courses for Women.The years from 1903 to 1904 <mask> also spent abroad. He worked in Munich under the guidance of Professor Ramann, studied the products of decomposition of organic substances. In 1904 <mask> returned to the Imperial Saint Petersburg University, passed master's exams and was elected a privatdocent to deliver lectures on chemical and biological processes in soil. Also in 1906-1909 Kravkov worked at the experimental forest district of Veliko-Anadol, studying the problem of drying up of forests in the steppe. In 1908 he became one of the founders of the Agricultural Institute at Kamenny Island in Saint Petersburg. In 1908 <mask> defended the master's thesis “” (Materials on the study of the processes of decomposition of vegetal remains in soil) at the Imperial Kazan University. In 1909 he was elected Associate Professor of Agronomy at the Imperial Saint Petersburg University.He was in charge of a compulsory course “Soil science and agrochemistry”. In 1912 <mask> defended the Doctor's thesis “” (Study on the role of dead plant remains in soil) at the Imperial Yuryev University (now the Tartu University in Estonia), examining in it the processes of transformation of organic substances. He became the fourth Doctor of Agronomy in Russia. At the same time Kravkov was elected the Head of the Agronomy Chair of the Imperial Saint Petersburg University and held this position till his death in 1938. Under Kravkov's guidance intensive experimental works on the problems of humus formation and soil chemistry were carried on. The problem of humus formation had remained the main theme of the scientist's investigations for his whole life. Kravkov was the first to pay attention to the fact that the soil is an element that is constantly gradually changing and is not in a state of fixed chemical balance.Developing the ideas of Vasily Dokuchaev, <mask> appealed to permanent systematic studies of soil horizons, qualifying the dynamics of soil processes as “the life of soil”. He organized observations of dynamics of soil processes. After the October revolution of 1917 <mask> joined the preparation of agronomy staff for the needs of the economy of a new state. In 1922 the scientist was one of those who took part in the foundation of an independent Chair of Experimental Soil Science at the Petrograd State University. In 1921-1925 Kravkov headed the Department of Applied Soil Science at the North-West Regional Agricultural Experimental Station. Since 1926 he took an active part in the work of the State Institute of Experimental Agronomy. In 1927 <mask> was one of the members of the Soviet delegation that took part in the First International Congress of Soil Science in Washington, D.C.He also participated in the work of the Second International Congress of Soil Science that took place in Leningrad and Moscow in 1930. When in 1932 the Kirov Higher Communist School of Agriculture was founded in Leningrad <mask> was invited to head its Chair of General Agriculture and to deliver lectures on soil science. In 1934 <mask> was awarded a scientific rank of Doctor of Science in Geology. On 10 November 1934 the decision of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee gave him a title of Honoured Scientist of the RSFSR. <mask> <mask> died in Leningrad on 12 August 1938. He was buried at Smolenskoye Cemetery. Kravkov's research work extended and deepenedthe scientific insight on the soil formation processes, contributed to the wide spread of the idea of dynamism of all soil phenomena.His work was continued by a number of talented disciples – the Soviet soil scientists. Family

In 1909 <mask> married an artist Mariya Mikhailovna Buraya (1861-?). He educated a stepdaughter Mariya. The scientist's elder brothers were Vasily Kravkov (1859-1920), army medical officer of high rank, author of memories about Russo-Japanese War and World War I, and <mask> (1865-1924), a prominent pharmacologist. Memory

By the resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR in 1939 the Laboratory of Experimental Soil Science of the Leningrad State University was named after <mask> Kravkov. Selected bibliography (English, French, German)

<mask><mask> (born December 7, 1949) is an American neuroscientist whose research is primarily focused on survival circuits, including their impacts on emotions such as fear and anxiety. <mask> is the Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science at New York University, and director of the Emotional Brain Institute, a collaboration between NYU and New York State with research sites at NYU and the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research in Orangeburg, New York. He is also the lead singer and songwriter in the band The Amygdaloids. Research and theories

Work on threat response, anxiety, and emotions
As explained in his 1996 book, The Emotional Brain, <mask> developed an interest in the topic of emotion through his doctoral work with Michael Gazzaniga on split-brain patients in the mid-1970s. Because techniques for studying the human brain were limited at the time, he turned to studies of rodents where the brain could be studied in detail. He chose to focus on a simple behavioral model, Pavlovian fear conditioning. This procedure allowed him to follow the flow of information about a stimulus through the brain as it comes to control behavioral responses by way of sensory pathways to the amygdala, and gave rise to the notion of two sensory roads to the amygdala, with the "low road" being a quick and dirty subcortical pathway for rapid activity behavioral responses to threats and the "high road" providing slower but highly processed cortical information.His work has shed light on how the brain detects and responds to threats, and how memories about such experiences are formed and stored through cellular, synaptic and molecular changes in the amygdala. A long-standing collaboration with NYU colleague <mask> has shown the validity of the rodent work for understanding threat processing in the human brain. <mask>'s work on amygdala processing of threats has helped understand exaggerated responses to threats in anxiety disorders in humans. For example, studies with Maria Morgan in the 1990s implicated the medial prefrontal cortex in the extinction of responses to threats and paved the way for understanding how exposure therapy reduces threat reactions in people with anxiety by way of interactions between the medial prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. Work conducted with Karim Nader and Glenn Schafe triggered a wave of interest in the topic of memory reconsolidation, a process by which memories become labile and subject to change after being retrieved. This led to the idea that trauma-related cues might be weakened in humans by blocking reconsolidation. Studies with Marie Mofils, Daniela Schiller and Phelps showed that extinction conducted shortly after triggering reconsolidation is considerably more effective in reducing the threat value of stimuli than conventional extinction, a finding that has proven useful in reducing drug relapse in humans.Difference between threat response and emotions
In 2012 <mask> emphasized the value, when discussing brain functions in animals, of using terms that are not derived from human subjective experience. The common practice of calling brain circuits that detect and respond to threats "fear circuits" implies that these circuits are responsible for feelings of fear. <mask> has argued that so-called Pavlovian fear conditioning should be renamed Pavlovian threat conditioning to avoid the implication that "fear" is being acquired in rats or humans. In 2015 he emphasised the notion of survival functions mediated by survival circuits, the purpose of which is to keep organisms alive (rather than to make emotions). For example, defensive survival circuits exist to detect and respond to threats, and can be present in all organisms. However, only organisms that can be conscious of their own brain's activities can feel fear. Fear is a conscious experience and occurs the same way as any other kind of conscious experience: via cortical circuits that allow attention to certain forms of brain activity.He argues the only differences between an emotional and non-emotion state of consciousness are the underlying neural ingredients that contribute to the state. These ideas and their implications for understanding the neural foundations of pathological fear and anxiety are explained in his 2015 book, Anxious. In this he says "Fear and anxiety are not biologically wired... They are the consequence of the cognitive processing of nonemotional ingredients." In 2018 he further said that the amygdala may release hormones due to a trigger (such as an innate reaction to seeing a snake), but "then we elaborate it through cognitive and conscious processes". He differentiated between the defence system, which has evolved over time, and emotions such as fear and anxiety. He points out that even simple organisms such as bacteria move in response to threats; "It's in the brain to allow an organism, whether it be a bacterium or a human, to detect and respond to danger.... It's not in the brain to create feelings like fear and anxiety." Lisa Feldman Barrett takes a similar view. Awards and professional recognition
<mask> has received a number of awards, including the Karl Spencer Lashley Award from the American Philosophical Society, the Fyssen International Prize in Cognitive Science, Jean Louis Signoret Prize of the IPSEN Foundation, the Santiago Grisolia Prize, the American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award, and the American Psychological Association Donald O. Hebb Award. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a William James Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Books and other public outreach
In addition to numerous publications in scholarly journals, <mask> has written:
 The Integrated Mind (with Michael Gazzaniga, Plenum, 1978)
 The Emotional Brain (Simon and Schuster, 1998)

He has also edited several volumes, including Mind and Brain: Dialogues in Cognitive Neuroscience (with William Hirst, Cambridge University Press, 1986), The Self: From Soul to Brain (with Jacek Debiec and Henry Moss, Annals of the New York Academy of Science, 2003), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Basic Science and Clinical Practice (with Peter Shiromani and Terrence Keane, Humana Press, 2009). He has also contributed to The New York Times Opinionator column on anxiety and to the Huffington Post, and has conducted numerous television, radio, online, and print interviews.<mask> has also collaborated with filmmaker Alexis Gambis on a project called "My Mind's Eye" on the Scientific American website in which interviews with esteemed scientists and philosophers (including <mask>, Michael Gazzaniga, Ned Block) are framed within the context of his music (see  below). Early life and education

<mask> was born on December 7, 1949, in the Cajun Prairie town of Eunice, Louisiana, to <mask>. "Boo" <mask>, a traveling rodeo performer (bull rider) and butcher, and Priscilla Buller <mask>. He attended St. Edmund's Elementary School and Eunice High School, graduating in 1967. <mask> attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge where he majored in Business Administration and minored in Psychology. In 1972 he began work on a Masters of Science in Marketing from LSU. During this time, his interest in psychology grew and he volunteered in the laboratory of Robert Thompson, who introduced him to brain research. Academic and professional history

In the fall of 1974 <mask> began a PhD program at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and completed his degree in 1977.In 1978, <mask> joined the Department of Neurology at Cornell Medical School as a postdoctoral fellow and remained there through the rank of associate professor until 1989. During most of his time at Cornell, he worked in the Neurobiology Laboratory where he received technical training in state-of-the-art neuroscience techniques and began the research program on the brain mechanism of emotional memory that he has pursued ever since. In 1989 he joined the newly formed Center for Neural Science at NYU as an associate professor. In 1991 he was promoted to full professor, and in 1996 he became the Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science. In 2005, he was named university professor, the highest honor for a faculty member at NYU. Personal life

In 1971 <mask> married LSU classmate Diana Steen. They divorced amicably in 1978.Since 1982 he has been married to art critic Nancy Princenthal. Currently they reside in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn. They have two children, Jacob S<mask> (died 2005) and Milo E<mask>. Milo is a graduate of the University of Oxford, where he studied classics, and is now pursuing a career in law. Music

Cajun/zydeco, country, R&B, rock, and their fusion into "swamp pop", were influences in <mask>'s childhood. In high school, he was a disc jockey at the local radio station, KEUN, and the rhythm guitarist of two bands: the Deadbeats and the Countdowns. Although he remained an avid music fan in later life, he did not actively play guitar for many years.In 2004, <mask> and NYU Biology Professor Tyler Volk began performing as a cover band for small parties around NYU, and in 2006 they formed The Amygdaloids. The original band also included Daniela Schiller, (then an NYU postdoctoral fellow), and graduate student Nina Curley. The band's lyrics, mostly written by <mask>, are based on neuroscientific, psychological, and philosophical themes, and offer scholarly insights into the role of mind and brain in daily life. Their inaugural CD, Heavy Mental, was released in 2007. On their second CD, Theory of My Mind, LeDoux and Grammy winner Rosanne Cash sing "Crime of Passion" and "Mind over Matter", both written by <mask>. In 2012, the band released All in Our Minds, an EP in which all songs had "mind" in their title. Anxious, a companion to LeDoux's book with the same title, was released in 2015 and explores some of the same scientific themes as the book, but through song.The band's unique focus on original songs about mind and brain has landed them considerable press. They play regularly in New York City, and have also performed in Washington DC, San Antonio TX, Indianapolis IN, Lafayette LA, and Montreal. LeDoux and Amygdaloids' bassist Colin Dempsey perform as an acoustic duo called So We Are. References

<mask>  (; May 5, 1912 – March 4, 1950) was a Chinese photojournalist and war photographer best known for his work with the Chinese Communist Party during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45). Born Situ Chuan (司徒传), he took the pseudonym <mask> (flying sand), that is, a grain of sand in the sky of his country. He has been called "one of the most admired Leftist photographers in China during the wartime years of 1937–1949", and "one of the most influential photographers of his generation". His "warm, dramatic, and ideologically-charged photographic presentations were emulated for decades thereafter". Early years

Situ Chuan (<mask>) was born in 1912 in Guangzhou (Canton), Guangdong Province. His father, Situ Junxun (司徒俊勋), was a small business owner. <mask>i felt he needed to learn a trade to support his family when his father's business went under in 1926, and studied at a radio school.In July 1926 he enlisted in the National Revolutionary Army and joined the Northern Expedition as a telegraph operator. He worked at a radio station in Shantou from 1932 to 1936, and became interested in photography, preferring a style more realistic than the international style he saw in magazines. In June 1935, he joined the Shanghai-based Black and White Photographic Society (). In 1936, he decided to become a professional photographer and quit his job in Shantou. He went to Shanghai, and in the fall entered the Department of Western Painting of the Shanghai Fine Arts Academy. He became well known for his photographs of blind beggars, poverty stricken children, and emaciated peasants. Shanghai was the base of most modern Chinese artists at the time, and he had the opportunities to meet famous people in the cultural circles such as Lu Xun.On 8 October 1936, he took the most famous photograph of Lu Xun's late life at the Second National Woodcut Exhibition. When Lu died 11 days later, he took some of Lu's last photos. These photos, as well as ones taken during Lu's funeral, were widely published in many magazines, including Liangyou (The Young Companion) and Shidai, establishing his reputation as a photojournalist. <mask> <mask>'s photo was later the template for the cover art on Lu Xun's collected works. Wartime activities

Soon after his Lu Xun images earned him national fame, the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937 and <mask> <mask> joined the Communist resistance in northern China. He went to the battlefront and photographed the Battle of Pingxingguan in September. The following month he formally enlisted in the Eighth Route Army, which established a resistance base in the Jin-Cha-Ji (Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei) border region.In November, he was made head of the editorial department of the base's propaganda bureau. He was also appointed head of the Resistance Daily Press (), the predecessor of the People's Daily, and covered the battles of the Eighth Route Army. He founded the Jin-Cha-Ji Pictorial (), which first appeared on July 7, 1942. He took thousands of photographs of battle scenes, Japanese brutality, common people caught in hard circumstances, high communist leaders, and foreign visitors. More than 200 were published. He also ran classes to train a cohort of photojournalists. In 1938, Canadian doctor Norman Bethune went to Yan'an, the communist headquarters.<mask> <mask> befriended Bethune and took many photos of him. Bethune bequeathed his camera to <mask> <mask> when he died in 1939. After contracting tuberculosis, <mask> <mask> was sent to Shijiazhuang in May 1948 to be treated at the Norman Bethune Hospital. He was also suffering from mental illness after years of highly stressful work in the war zone. On December 15, 1949, he shot to death a Japanese doctor involved in his treatment. He was convicted of murder and executed two months later, at the age of 37. Because he was executed for murder, <mask> <mask>'s story was suppressed in China.In 1986, his family appealed the verdict and a military court reinstated his Party membership. Reputation and legacy

Scholar <mask> Brown wrote that <mask> <mask>'s "images of soldiers crouching on rooftops, peasant armies marching through plumes of dust, and laughing young enlistees, convey an intensity that was the result of close framing devices that plunge the viewer directly into the action". Brown saw in <mask> <mask>'s work both the "kinetic energy" of Cartier-Bresson's street photography and the "rawness" of Robert Capa's combat work, qualities that enable viewers today to "practically smell gunpowder and feel the grit of the battlefield under our feet". Brown also wrote that "although <mask> <mask>'s images eschew the rigidity of much contemporary Communist imagery—a surprising feat given the preponderance of Soviet influence on Chinese visual art from the 1930s onwards—they are still almost always political in nature. Narrating specific instances of military and government action while foregrounding Communist social ideals, they exude optimism and fortitude. Children laugh and smile, young soldiers keep their backs straight under fire, and even Japanese POWs break into song, grateful for the mercy of their Communist captors. The artistry required to make such tableaux appear spontaneous and natural marked <mask> Fei as a photographer and propagandist of extraordinary talent."<mask> <mask> was careful to preserve and catalog his negatives. He kept those of Lu Xun on himself, which were accidentally buried with him. Exhibitions of his work in the United States have been held at the Ohio State University (2009), and at the Fairbank Center, Harvard University (March–April 2016). In April 2016, the Fairbank Center held a conference,  "The Photographer Who Shaped Modern China: <mask> Fei and His World." <mask> <mask>'s student Gu Di (顾棣), who followed him for seven years, also became a celebrated photographer and won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the China Photographers Association in 2002. Gu credits <mask> Fei as the greatest influence in his life. Selected works

<mask> (April 7, 1947 – July 3, 1996) was an American businessman and a suspected serial killer. A resident of the Indianapolis suburb of Westfield, Indiana, Baumeister was under investigation for murdering over a dozen men in the early 1990s, most of whom were last seen at gay bars. Police found the remains of eleven people, eight identified, on Baumeister's property. Baumeister committed suicide after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was later linked to a series of murders of at least nine men along Interstate 70, which occurred in the early to mid-1980s. Early life
<mask> was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, the oldest of four children born to <mask> and <mask>. His childhood was reportedly normal but he began exhibiting anti-social behavior by the onset of adolescence, playing with dead animals and urinating on a teacher's desk.In his teens, <mask> was diagnosed with schizophrenia but did not receive further psychiatric treatment. In 1965, Baumeister attended Indiana University for a semester before dropping out, but returned in 1967. In 1972, he attended a semester at Butler University. As an adult, Baumeister drifted through a series of jobs, marked by a strong work ethic but also by increasingly bizarre behavior. Baumeister married Juliana "Julie" Saiter in November 1971, a union that produced three children. Julie later said they had been sexually intimate only six times in over 25 years of marriage. In the 1970s, Baumeister was committed to a psychiatric hospital by his father; his wife said he was "hurting and needed help."<mask> founded the successful Sav-A-Lot thrift store chain (two stores total) in Indianapolis in 1988. Investigation
By the early 1990s, investigators with the Marion County Sheriff's Department and the Indianapolis Police Department began investigating the disappearances of gay men of similar age, height, and weight in the Indianapolis area. In 1992, they were contacted by a man named Tony Harris claiming that a gay bar patron calling himself "Brian Smart" had killed a friend of his, and had attempted to kill him with a pool hose during an erotic asphyxiation session. Harris eventually saw this man again in August 1995, following his car and noting his license plate number. From this data, police identified "Brian Smart" as <mask>. Investigators approached <mask>, told him he was a suspect in the disappearances, and asked to search his house. Both <mask> and his wife, Julie, refused to allow a search of their property.By June 1996, however, Julie had become sufficiently frightened by her husband's erratic behavior that, after filing for divorce, she consented to a search. The search of the  estate, Fox Hollow Farm, was conducted while Baumeister was on vacation. It turned up the remains of eleven men, eight of whom were identified. The eight identified victims were:
 John Lee Bayer, age 20
 Richard Douglas Hamilton, age 20
 Steven S. Hale, age 26
 Allen Wayne Broussard, age 28
 Jeffrey A Jones, age 31
 Manuel Resendez, age 31
 Roger Allen Goodlet, age 33
 Michael Frederick Kiern, age 46

With a warrant out for his arrest, Baumeister fled to Ontario, where he committed suicide at Pinery Provincial Park on Lake Huron by shooting himself in the head. In his suicide note, he described his failing marriage and business as his reason for killing himself. He did not confess to the murders of the men found in his backyard. Death and posthumous investigation
Baumeister would posthumously be suspected of killing nine other men, the bodies of whom were found in rural areas along the corridor of Interstate 70 between Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio, during the early to mid 1980s.One eyewitness identified Baumeister as the man seen leaving a bar in 1983 with Michael Riley, who was later found dead. Like the other victims, Riley was strangled to death and deposited nude or semi-nude in a river. Media coverage
The A&E television series Investigative Reports aired an episode about Baumeister titled The Secret Life of a Serial Killer in 1997. History featured the case in their Perfect Crimes series. The case was also featured on The Investigators on TruTV in 2008, Behind Mansion Walls on Investigation Discovery (ID), Paranormal Witness on Syfy in 2012, and Ghost Adventures in May 2014. An independent documentary film titled The Haunting of Fox Hollow Farm also explores the crimes and the possibility of hauntings on the grounds of Baumeister's former estate. ID featured the case again on the series True Nightmares, in October 2015.The Crime Junkie podcast released an episode on Baumeister on March 4, 2018. The Monster Presents: Insomniac podcast released a two-part episode about the case on June 27, 2019. The All Things Comedy Mexican podcast Leyendas Legendarias released an episode where they talked about the case on October 14, 2020. Georgia Hardstark covered the case on the podcast, My Favorite Murder, in episode 67- Live at the Egyptian Room, during a live performance in Indianapolis, and is included on the List of My Favorite Murder episodes.

<mask> (born April 6, 1954) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher. Following his brief major league career, <mask> had several run ins with the law. Most recently, he was sentenced to five years in jail for grand theft for creating a fake sales order at the Sarasota, Florida copy machine office in which he worked. Drafted by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1972 Major League Baseball Draft, he soon emerged as one of the top pitching prospects in the Yankees' organization. However, he never lived up to his potential, and was eventually traded away by the Yankees after three seasons in which he went 6-14 with a 4.72 earned run average. <mask>'s lack of success at the major league level is often cited as the catalyst for Yankees owner George Steinbrenner's desire to build his team through free agency and trades rather than relying upon his own farm system. Minor leagues
<mask> was drafted in the second round of the  draft upon graduation from E. C. Glass High School in Lynchburg, Virginia.He put up respectable numbers in his first five seasons in the Yankees' farm system, going 46-40 with a 3.64 ERA, but was wild. In 726 innings pitched, <mask> walked 348 batters. He got it together in ; in ten starts with the International League's Syracuse Chiefs, <mask> went 5-1 with a 1.68 ERA. He was called up by the Yankees to relieve some of the burden on manager Billy Martin's overextended pitching staff. New York Yankees
He joined a team that was tied for first place in the American League East, and eventually won the division by 2.5 games over the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox. <mask> went 0-2 with a 7.73 as a starter, but was far more effective out of the bullpen. He was 2-1 with a 3.40 ERA and one save as a relief pitcher.Oddly, the one loss may have been his best pitching performance of the season. On June 17, Catfish Hunter gave up four first inning home runs against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. He handed the ball to <mask> down 4-0 with two outs in the first. <mask> held them scoreless through the fourth, allowing the Yankees to tie the score. The Red Sox scored a run in the fifth to hang the L on <mask>. After not making an appearance in the 1977 American League Championship Series, he made appearances in both games the Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, pitching very effectively in game two. Heading into Spring training , <mask> was one of the top young pitching prospects in the Yankees' organization, along with Jim Beattie and Gil Patterson, hoping to earn a spot on the opening day roster.Each vocalized frustration with the organization when they acquired pitchers Rich Gossage, Andy Messersmith and Rawly Eastwick after the 1977 season believing that it hindered their chances of making the club. In return, <mask> received his fair share of criticism from some of the veteran pitchers with the Yankees. Hunter surmised that <mask> had a "great arm, great slider, bad brains," and felt that the advice he offered to the young pitcher often went unheeded. Likewise, Sparky Lyle, who won a Cy Young Award in relief, also offered advice to <mask> about his tendency to wear his arm out in practice, thus not being 100% for the day's game. George Steinbrenner simply described <mask> as a "morning glory," a horse racing term for a horse that performs best in the morning workouts prior to the actual race. Regardless, with the exception of a 21-day trip to the disabled list, <mask> remained on the major league roster the entire season. <mask> went 3-4 with a 4.28 ERA during the regular season, but his most memorable performance came in the post-season.The Yankees were leading 4-0 when <mask> was called into the first game of the 1978 American League Championship Series against the Kansas City Royals in the sixth inning with one out and the bases loaded. The Royals scored one run on a sacrifice fly by Hal McRae. <mask> then retired Al Cowens on a groundout to get out of the inning with just one run scored. He held the Royals hitless the rest of the way to earn the save. Unfortunately, his success did not carry into the  season. He went 1-7 with a 5.70 ERA, and was relegated to "mop-up duty" by the end of the season (26 of his 32 appearances were in losses). He began the  season assigned to the Yankees' triple A affiliate, the Columbus Clippers.On August 14, he was traded to the Texas Rangers for future Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry. Later career
<mask> stepped into Perry's spot in the Rangers' starting rotation, and went 2-3 with a 4.60 ERA his only season in Texas. He was part of a blockbuster deal during the Winter meetings when he, Richie Zisk, Brian Allard, Rick Auerbach, Jerry Gleaton and minor leaguer Steve Finch were sent to the Seattle Mariners for Larry Cox, Rick Honeycutt, Willie Horton, Mario Mendoza and Leon Roberts. <mask> began the  season in Seattle's starting rotation, but after going 0-3 with an ERA of 7.03, he was moved into the bullpen by Mariners manager Maury Wills. He remained in the bullpen through the first half of the strike shortened season, even after Wills was replaced by Rene Lachemann, but was moved back into the starting rotation when play resumed after the strike. He performed far better, going 2-3 with a 3.64 ERA in ten starts. He failed to make the club the following Spring, and retired rather than trying to latch on with a new team.In , he joined the Senior Professional Baseball Association as a member of the Gold Coast Suns, but never appeared in a game with the team. Legal issues
<mask>'s legal troubles began in . He faced up to twenty years in prison on four counts of grand larceny for stealing $30,000 from Jostens Inc., a school ring company for whom he worked. Campbell County, Virginia prosecutors cut a deal with his attorneys that kept him out of prison. Instead, he paid $15,000 restitution to Jostens plus $1,394.64 in court fees, got 1,000 hours of community service, five years supervised probation and a suspended sentence. In February , <mask> stole a car from the Bedford County, Virginia car dealership he worked for, and was sentenced to a year in jail. While serving his time, it was discovered that <mask> withheld information about three previous arrests from his probation officers (The grand larceny and two DUIs).An additional three years in the Campbell County jail was tacked onto his sentence. <mask> moved to Bradenton, Florida after his release and was accused in  of identity theft. He used his girlfriend's identity to falsify credit card applications, to lease and insure a  Nissan Pathfinder and to create a checking account from which he forged checks. He was charged with five counts of forgery, five counts of scheming to defraud, nine counts of uttering a forged instrument and four counts of grand theft, and could have been sentenced to more than twenty years in prison had he been convicted on all charges by a jury. <mask> agreed to pay back creditors, and Manatee County Circuit Judge Charles Williams sentenced him to fifteen years of probation. In , <mask> began working for the Copy Concept copy machine company. Having only made one sale a month and a half into his employment with the company, he falsified a sales order for a Toshiba e-Studio 3511 Copier that would have landed him a $7,500 commission.He forged the supposed buyer's signature on three documents. The jury convicted him of grand theft after a one-day trial. He had been offered a plea agreement that included six months in the county jail before the trial, however, did not accept it. Prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of three years, however, Circuit Judge Rick De Furia sentenced him to five years in prison citing his past criminal activity. He was released from prison on February 16,  and is back living in Lynchburg, where he was born and raised. References

<mask> (born December 21, 1944 in Helena, Arkansas, United States) is an American crime writer, poet, critic, musicologist and musician, best known for his series of novels featuring the detective character Lew Griffin and set in New Orleans, and for his 2005 novel Drive, which was adapted into  a 2011 film of the same name. <mask> began writing science fiction for magazines in the late 1960s. Having sold several stories to Damon Knight for his Orbit series of anthologies, and a story to Michael Moorcock by the time he was in his mid-twenties, <mask> was then invited to go to London to help edit New Worlds just as it changed to its large format during its Michael Moorcock-directed New Wave SF phase; <mask> published his first sf story, "Kazoo" there in 1967 and was co-editor from April 1968 through Feb 1969. His clearly acknowledged models in the French avant-garde and the gnomic brevity of much of his work limited his appeal in the science fiction world, though he received some critical acclaim for A Few Last Words (collection, 1970). <mask> has been influenced by French New Novelists including Michel Butor and Robbe-Grillet. Camus’ L'Etranger is  mentioned in each of <mask>'s novels. Later short work (uncollected until Time's Hammers) appeared in the USA through the 1970s and 1980s.He is the brother of philosopher <mask>. Career and critical reception
<mask> has worked as a creative writing teacher, respiratory therapist, musician, music teacher, screenwriter, periodical editor, book reviewer, and translator, winning acclaim for his 1993 version of Raymond Queneau's Saint Glinglin. Trained as a respiratory therapist, <mask> worked in intensive care for both adults and newborns at many hospitals. In 2000 he appeared as himself in the UK Channel 4 project Asylum (2000)—a mix of both documentary and fiction, where in the future a group of people are looking back at the twentieth century after a virus has wiped out most of the culture—written and directed by Christopher Petit and Iain Sinclair. <mask> appeas alongside Michael Moorcock and Ed Dorn. In 2012 he played a small part as a detective in the film The Detective's Lover directed by Travis Mills. He taught writing classes at Otis College in Los Angeles and until September 2015 at Phoenix College in Arizona; he left his job rather than sign a state-mandated loyalty oath that he regards as unconstitutional.As a writer <mask> has surprised many by not often appearing in the critics’ top rank of American writers. In Lit Hub Lisa Levy considered his output significant and diverse and ranked him as perhaps alongside Don DeLillo (b.1936) and Thomas Pynchon (b. 1937). On noir <mask> argues it is an oppositional form, working not to reinforce American culture but to subvert it, “there is no moral order save which a man creates from himself. Like high art, these stories worked hard  to unfold the lies society tells us and the lies we tell ourselves". Awards

<mask> (Arabic:شوقي بزيغ) is a Lebanese contemporary poet born in southern Lebanon in 1951. He has dozens of books in poetry and prose, as well as critical, literary, cultural and intellectual articles. He won the Poet of the Year Award in 2010, and the Alowis Cultural Award in 2015. He was awarded the Order of Jumblatt in 2010, the Order of Palestine in 2017, and the Special Honor in the Mahmoud Darwish Award for Culture and Creativity on 13 March 2020. Beginnings
He was born on 20 January 1951 in Zabaqin. He completed primary school at the free village school of the Charitable Purpose Society and taught English, with primary, middle and secondary education in Tyre. In early 1968, he taught two months at the Alma al-Sha'b Frontier School, then went to the Faculty of Education of the Lebanese University, and obtained a certificate of proficiency in Arabic language and literature in 1973, for a critical study entitled: The Palestinian resistance felt in contemporary Arab criticism, and received the rank of First Honor.In his third year at the Faculty of Education (1970), he was awarded first prize in poetry. About this period, he says:"In these five years between 1968 and 1973, Beirut was experiencing its Golden Age, and Lebanon was boiling and blossoming with life, with the will to live and seek a better homeland, far from sectarian, sectarian, feudal, etc., under the roof of Marxism. We were looking for an alternative homeland, and we didn't know going out to the protests in the hundreds of thousands that we were establishing the civil war that was coming. When I came down from the village, I felt like I was exposing myself to dress and damage, just as the tree was being uprooted. "Adds:"I loved Beirut so much, I wrote it, and I felt it was a sanctuary after it was a deaf cement castle. But the root of the writing and its fountain for me is the countryside. " Works and Cultural activity
Chawki was affiliated with the Communist Labor Organization between 1968 and 1972, leaving it for reasons he says are "creative, the result of the Stalinist chauvinistic dimension of some Marxist organizations, and parties.Their model of poetry was Ahmed Fouad Najm and they only saw him. I was influenced by the poets of hadith Badonis, Badr Shakir al – Siab, Khalil Hawi, and Nazar Qabani... And they were shaking at what I was writing, and they just wanted slogans from me. Of course, I was writing slogans during protests like the famous slogan: Oh, freedom. " He taught at Tyre High School until 1982, and at Musaydoua High School in Beirut until 1988, and joined the Ministry of Information in 1988. He worked in the cultural press, headed the cultural section of Ambassador 1992 's newspaper. Prepared various radio programmes in a number of official and private Lebanese radio stations, such as Radio Voice of Arab Lebanon, through which he accompanied the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and contributed his poems to the resilience of the Israeli blockade of the Lebanese capital Beirut for almost three months. He recently announced his position in favour of the 17 December revolution in Lebanon:"In the Square of Martyrs/where the Lebanese rise to their dignity and, after 19 years of liberation of the land, fight their harshest and most important battle to free man from humiliation and want, to break the unjust circle of the united system of malaise and to write for themselves the most beautiful poem that the poets have been unable to write."He also produced cultural television programmes on Lebanon's official television. He has contributions to numerous newspapers and magazines, most notably: Ambassador, Al-Na'ar, Lebanese Literature Magazine, Qatari Banner, Al-Dabiyan Federation and Saudi Akkaz. Poetries
<mask> began publishing his poems in the early 1970s, in "Situations" with the group "Poets of the South." His book "Fast Titles of a Murdered Homeland" was published in 1978, and he opened his first published poems with death:"I now open my death and enter the season of fire. "He wrote poetry in vernacular and ephemeral, but he was much more proficient in vernacular. His poems have also been characterized by the use of Islamic and Christian heritage with a whiff of mysticism, and have been blended into his poetry, meaning, lyricism, poetry and adoration. Participated in many poetry festivals in Jarrah, Carthage, Latakia, France, Egypt, etc.In conversation, he says:

Most of Boakery's poetry has been deleted. I started writing in 1971 when I was a student at the University of Lebanon, and I was writing a poem in both parts by a group of adult critics and poets like Adonis, Yimni Al-Eid and Khalil Hawi, but most of the first writings I deleted from my collection, "First Titles of a Dead Country," and my experience has ranged from the limit of writing about hometown, resistance and homeland to writing about women." He explains that his poem was "fed from a place related to major issues. But I suddenly felt like I was at a crossroads, and I was silent for five whole years between 1985 and 1990, and when I went back to writing I wrote a poem that was detailed to me, "Dust Hereditary," which was later published together with other poems in an independent Diwan and was later awarded a Crutch Prize for Arabic poetry. " Some of his other collections have also formed basic stops in his poetry, such as: Yusuf Shirts and Mirab Al Muthani. Several studies, research and academic works have been written in his poetry, and his poetry has been misplaced, and poems have been translated into several languages, including: English, French, German, Persian. Some of his poems also turned into songs.Poets of the South
Chawki <mask> says about the experience of the "Poets of the South":

"The poet has only a script. He's the one who stays and he's the one who's gonna face time later. The experience of friendly poet Habib Sadiq has contributed to the nickname "Poets of the South" through the "Cultural Council of Southern Lebanon," launching the "Festival of Southern Poetry" since the early 1970s in some southern cities such as Nabatiyah and Tyre, and sometimes in Beirut. That may have contributed to the nomenclature crystallization, but it didn't last long. What's left in the end is the poet, so now you see that every Southern poet distinguishes, singles and takes an independent line. " Darwish Prize
Chawki Bazih has won numerous awards. including, most recently, the late Palestinian Poet Mahmoud Darwish Foundation's "Special Honor Award," and in detail.The Foundation awarded its 2020 Prize for Culture and Creativity to American Thinker Noam Chomsky, Moroccan poet and translator Abdullatif Al-Tabi, and Palestinian poet and scholar Zachariah Mohamed. The Executive Board of the Foundation awarded the Special Honor Award to Lebanese poet <mask> <mask>.The award is awarded on the anniversary of Darwish's birth on 13 March, National Culture Day. The Arbitration Commission's statement stated that it had awarded the Lebanese Poet <mask> <mask> Special Honor Award," whose experience offers a unique and profound creative model, in which the solid lyric structure based on a pure rhythmic structure, the modernist structure of the image and the open-ended martyrdom of the present, the courageous bias of his people in Lebanon and their aspirations.
