<mask> (November 13, 1875 – January 31, 1947) was an American catcher and manager in Major League Baseball for the Chicago Cubs (the Chicago Orphans until 1902), Boston Braves / Rustlers, and Cincinnati Reds. <mask> was the Cubs' starting catcher in the final game of the 1908 World Series, the last championship for the team for 108 years. Early years
<mask> was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of John (a German-American baker) and <mask>. It was expected that he would work in the bakery business, as his brother Charles seems to have done, but <mask> fell in love with baseball. By the age of fifteen, he was playing amateur ball. He also had an interest in pool, and began playing competitively even as he pursued a baseball career ("Match Game of Pool", 1897, 3). In late January 1904, <mask> married Lillian May Gradwohl.While <mask> was not born Jewish, his wife was, and they were married by a Kansas City Rabbi Harry H. Mayer, of Temple B'nai Jehudah, a Reform congregation. In the major leagues
After playing amateur and semi-pro baseball, <mask> finally made his major league debut on September 11, 1900, playing for the Chicago Orphans of the National League. He got three hits, and made a positive impression both as a catcher and as a hitter. For what was left of the season, he caught fifteen games and had a batting average of .294  He also acquired the nickname "Noisy John", because he kept up a constant chatter on the field; some baseball historians have noted this was part of his skill in waging "psychological warfare" on his opponents. By all accounts he was an exceptional defensive catcher, praised for his skill in throwing out runners who were caught stealing. He was also a reliable hitter, and a pivotal member of the team that became known as the Chicago Cubs, an integral part of the dynasty which included Hall of Fame infielders Joe Tinker, <mask> and Frank Chance. Between 1906 and 1910, the Cubs won four National League pennants and two World Series titles, and <mask> was said to be one of the reasons why.And unlike many ballplayers of his day, he didn't smoke, drink or chew tobacco. Staying in good shape as a result was said to contribute to his baseball success. Overall, he played in 1261 major league games, hit .272 with 20 home runs and 514 RBIs in his major league career. He had 1154 hits in 4246 at bats and scored 475 runs. In August 1902, he amassed a Major League Baseball record streak of 12 consecutive hits. Walt Dropo later tied the mark in 1952. He caught 115 shutouts during his career, ranking him 16th all-time among major league catchers.Pool vs. Baseball
While he loved baseball, <mask> never lost his devotion to the game of pool. In 1902, for example, one reporter called him the best pool player of any active baseball player. He often played for purses as high as $300, a sizable amount in that era. During this time, he also ran his own billiard room in his native Kansas City. During the early 1900s, his pool-playing career was regarded positively by sports reporters—in one article, he was praised as a baseball player who was not idle during the off-season; he was said to have "double[d] his diamond income" by being an accomplished pool player. His skill at pool also served him well when it came time to negotiate his baseball salary.Before the 1906 season he announced that he would not sign a new contract unless Chicago offered him a raise in pay, and if the raise was not forthcoming he would stay home and play pool. This angered his manager, Frank Chance, who snapped that everyone else but <mask> had come to terms with the club. He subsequently did decide to play, raise or not. He had another impressive season, catching 96 games and hitting over .300 for the record 116-36 pennant winners. Although he once again told Cubs' management he was considering giving up baseball for pool before the 1907 season, he once again returned to play for the Cubs, who won the World Series in both 1907 and 1908. Then, in early 1909, after several solid years with Chicago, he engaged in another dispute with the management over salary and this time decided to spend some time away from the club. During that time he continued to compete in pool, winning the world billiards championship, and played semi-pro baseball with a Kansas City team.He sat out the entire 1909 season, and in early October competed against Charles "Cowboy" Weston and won the world's championship of pool. When he decided to come back to baseball in early 1910 and asked to be reinstated, a debate ensued as to whether he should be permitted to return since he had not honored his contract during the 1909 season. National League President Thomas J. Lynch wanted him fined or possibly traded; in the end, he was fined $700 and allowed to return. His love for both pool and billiards led him to not only play competitively, but to organize a league which was called the National Amateur Three-Cushion League. It had teams from eight cities, Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis among them. He told reporters that when his baseball career was over, he would devote himself to pool and billiards full-time. And despite his often-divided loyalties, baseball writers agreed that <mask> was among the best players of his era; in fact, his obituary described him as "one of the greatest catchers the Chicago Cubs ever had".Final years
After a decade of success with the Cubs, <mask> was traded to the lowly Boston Braves, where he spent the 1911 and 1912 seasons. At one point he even managed the Braves, but his managerial efforts were not successful and the team had a losing record  He was said to be unhappy with the way the Braves' owners made him run the team, and this led to his being traded in 1913. His final year in the majors was spent with the Cincinnati Reds. He devoted the rest of his life to several important pursuits. He owned the Dixon Hotel in Kansas City, where his billiard parlor gained national recognition. During his baseball career, he had begun mentoring his nephew, Bennie Allen, and as the years passed, Bennie went on to become a champion too. In 1933, he purchased the Kansas City Blues of the American Association and was able to generate more interest in the team and increase their attendance within a year of taking over.One of his innovations was to desegregate the ballpark, allowing both black and white fans to attend the games together. <mask> sold the Blues in 1937. Though never a major name among Hall of Fame rooters, <mask> garnered his share of support for Cooperstown. He received votes from the BBWAA in eight elections, earning as much as 10% of the vote (in 1937). In late January 1947, while returning from Miami to Kansas City, he suffered either a heart attack or a cerebral hemorrhage and died in the hospital at age 71. He was survived by his wife and two daughters. Was <mask> Jewish?Speculation about whether <mask> was Jewish has persisted over the years. One source says he used the name "Kline" early in his career, a surname that is sometimes (but not always) Jewish. And although he was married to a Jewish woman in a ceremony conducted by a Reform Jewish rabbi, there are questions that have never been fully resolved. The major Jewish newspapers never questioned <mask>'s Jewishness: writers and reporters frequently referred to him as Jewish, in articles from the 1920s through the 1970s. The Boston Jewish Advocate was among those that asserted his real name was John Kline, and said he had even played baseball under that name; one writer said he was "the first of the Jewish [baseball] pioneers" (Harold U. Ribalow, "<mask> Kling Showed the Way", Jewish Advocate, 12 April 1951, p. 22). But even earlier, the story of <mask>'s Jewishness was given a vote of confidence by New York Giants owner-manager John McGraw, who knew <mask> and referred to him as a Jewish ballplayer in a 1923 article, "Jewish Baseball Players Wanted" (American Israelite, 9 August 1923, p. 6). Among contemporary authors who believe he was Jewish is Dr. Gil Bogen, who wrote a book about Kling's life.But some researchers dispute this, and years after his death, his widow Lillian, who was definitely Jewish, seemed to deny that her husband was ever Jewish. In a 1976 Esquire magazine article, sportswriter Harry Stein published an "All Time All-Star Argument Starter", consisting of five ethnic baseball teams. <mask> was the catcher on Stein's Jewish team. (A reader, however, wrote in and pointed out that <mask> was not Jewish but his wife was; and suggested Harry Danning instead.) See also

Jesús David "<mask>" <mask> (born August 9, 1961) is a former competition swimmer and world record-holder who participated in the 1984 Summer Olympics for the United States. In 1997, he became the first Puerto Rican to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. From 2004 to 2009, he served as the president of the Puerto Rican National Swimming Federation (Federación Puertorriqueña de Natación). Early years
<mask> is the third child of five siblings, born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, to the <mask> family. He received his primary education at Academia Cristo Rey in Ponce. His father, <mask>, was the brother of the late Puerto Rican industrialist <mask>, and was very sports-minded and encouraged his children to participate in sports. <mask> is the third of five sons.His brothers are Marcos, Víctor (b. 1960), Vicente, and Salvador (b. 1968). On one occasion, while relaxing by a hotel swimming pool in San Juan, Puerto Rico, <mask>'s father asked his sons to compete against some girls that were swimming laps in the pool. The father was impressed with what he saw, and as soon as he returned to Ponce he enrolled them in a local swimming team. Swimming competitions
In 1971, when he was only 10 years old, <mask> Anadón broke a 50-meter backstroke swimming record. In 1975, he won his first gold medal in backstroke at the Medley Relay, held in Colombia.<mask>'s father moved his family to Miami, Florida, where he was to open a branch of the family business, Vassallo Industries. <mask> Anadón held various records, including the 100- and 200-meter backstrokes, and the 200- and 400-meter individual medley. <mask> already ranked among the top ten in the world in three of the events. U.S. Swimming Team
<mask> Anadón's father moved to Mission Viejo, California, where <mask> completed his secondary studies. He went to train with Mark Schubert, who would later become the coach of the USA Swimming Team. In 1976, <mask> Anadón wanted to participate in the 1976 Summer Olympics, which were held in Montreal, Canada, representing Puerto Rico, but he could not participate due to a ruling of the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee that stated that "in order to represent Puerto Rico, a person must have resided on the island for at least a year" (currently, this rule requires for a person to reside for three years before becoming a member of a Puerto Rican national sports team).He did however, participate in the U.S. Swimming Nationals at Philadelphia for the first time, and won his first national title and a national gold medal in the 1,500-meter freestyle. In 1977, <mask> Anadón traveled with the U.S. team, winning medals in New Zealand, the Netherlands and France. In 1978, <mask> Anadón broke his first record in the 400-meter individual medley trials for the 1978 World Championships to be held in Berlin, Germany. In Berlin, he broke his record again and won two gold medals and a silver medal. In 1979, <mask> Anadón broke his third world record in the 200-meter individual medley and won gold in the 1979 Pan American Games, held in San Juan. During the gold medal ceremony, <mask> produced a small Puerto Rican flag which resulted in the entire crowd at the Escambron Aquatic Center singing the Puerto Rican national anthem "La Borinqueña".<mask> Anadón's experiences in the 1979 Games were highlighted in the 1980 documentary A Step Away. Also in 1979, he graduated from high school and was placed in the list of the top ten athletes in the world, along with Muhammad Ali, Mario Andretti and others by Sports Illustrated magazine. <mask> Anadón was unable to attend the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow, Russia, because of the boycott imposed by U.S. President Jimmy Carter. He competed in another competition held in the United States, which were held at the same time as the Moscow Olympics. <mask> made better times in the 200- and 400-meter individual medley event at the competition than the two gold medalists in Moscow. Retirement from competition swimming and college years
After competing around the world, <mask> Anadón moved to Miami and enrolled in the University of Miami. In 1981, he was the NCAA champion in the 400-meter individual medley and set school records in the 200-meter individual medley and the 400-meter individual medley.During his stay at University of Miami, <mask> Anadón was a two-time All-American in 1981 and 1982, was selected for the Pan American team, as well as the 1980 U.S. Olympic team, which did not compete in Moscow. A June 1982 knee injury that required surgery, however, practically ended his swimming career. He made a successful comeback a year later, and was named to the 1984 U.S. Olympic team. At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, he finished fourth in the finals of the 400-meter individual medley, and also competed in the 200-meter backstroke. He graduated from the University of Miami in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications. That same year he returned to Puerto Rico where he met his future wife, Betsy Lopez, sister of the Atlanta Braves baseball star Javy López and of Puerto Rican volleyball superstar Elaine Lopez. After working in his family business in Ponce for three years, <mask> and his brothers opened "Vassallo Unlimited" which produces solid surface materials that are used in the construction industry.<mask> was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 1996. Legacy
In 1997, <mask> Anadón became the first Puerto Rican to be inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Among other honors which have been bestowed upon him are his induction into the Japanese Swimmers Hall of Fame; the University of Miami's Hall of Fame; the Puerto Rican Hall of Fame and the Ponce Hall of Fame. <mask> has also appeared on the covers of "The Olympian", "Sports Illustrated", and "Swimming World Magazine" among others. He is also recognized at Ponce's Park for the Illustrious Ponce Citizens. As of June 2011, <mask> is Head Coach for the Pompano Beach Piranhas in Pompano Beach, Florida. In Japan, the swimming style developed by <mask> is called , based on a mispronunciation (va-sa-ro) of <mask>'s name.Notes

<mask>, or <mask> (Genoa c. 1250-Genoa 1329), was a priest and a pioneering cartographer from Genoa. There is little certain information about his life. There is a Genoese document (dated June 9, 1291) referring to a certain <mask>, son of Mauro, from Carignano (Johannes de Mauro de Calignano). Other fragments suggest he had two brothers, Giacomo, a notary, and Anselmo, a doctor. Further documents suggest he was still alive in September 1329, but dead by May 1330. From 1293 to 1329, <mask> was the rector of the church of San Marco al Molo ("Saint Mark at the Pier"), a parish in Genoa, just a few meters away from the bustling port of Genoa, arguably the most important seaport in the Mediterranean Sea at the time. Carignano is important to the history of cartography as the author of an early 14th-century nautical portolan chart, depicting, with much skill, most of the world as then known to his Italian contemporaries (Europe, North Africa, Mediterranean, Black Sea and much of the Middle East).Although the northern reaches of Europe are unclear, it contains possibly the first depiction of Scandinavia as a peninsula. Carignano's portolan has been variously dated between 1305 and 1327.). If the earlier dates are accepted, then it might be the first known portolan signed by its author (i.e. before Pietro Vesconte's portolan of 1311). The signature read: Presbiter Johannes Rector sancti Marci de portu Ianue me fecit. The Carignano chart was long held by the Archivio di Stato in Florence, Italy. Unfortunately, already fragile, the chart was destroyed in 1943 during a bombing of Naples, where it was temporarily on display.All that remains of it are a set of photographs and notes by earlier scholars. A second mysterious Carignano map, dated 1306, is mentioned routinely in 19th-century lists, but without indication of its location or description of its content, and thus either never existed beyond rumor, or has long been lost. In this map he joins the theological tradition that placed Jerusalem in the centre of a T-in-O scheme and the more accurate and up-to-date information. In the port of Genoa (1306) he interviewed the ambassadors of the Abyssinian negus Wedem Arad; some scholars, as Silverberg, presume he was the first European to locate the legendary Prester John's Kingdom in Africa (Ethiopia) rather than in northern Asia.

<mask> (born 1955) is an American investigative journalist who has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1995. She has written for the publication about money in politics; government prosecution of whistleblowers; the United States Predator drone program; Donald Trump's ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz; and Trump's financial backer, Robert Mercer. In 2016, <mask>'s book Dark Money—in which she investigated the history of the right-wing billionaire network centered on the Koch brothers—was published to critical acclaim. Early life and education
<mask> was born in New York City. Her mother, Meredith (née Nevins), is a painter, print-maker and former president of the Manhattan Graphics Center. Her father, <mask>, was a composer. Her paternal great-great-grandfather was Emanuel Lehman, one of the founders of Lehman Brothers.Her maternal grandparents were Mary Fleming (Richardson) and Allan Nevins, a historian and John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s authorized biographer. <mask> attended two non-denominational secondary schools: Fieldston, in the northwest area of the Bronx borough of New York City; and—as an exchange student in 1972-1973—Bedales, a boarding school in the village of Steep, Hampshire, England. A 1977 magna cum laude graduate of Yale University, she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and served as senior editor of the Yale Daily News and as campus stringer for Time magazine. She continued her studies at Oxford University. Career
<mask> began her career as a journalist in Vermont writing for two small weekly papers, The Weathersfield Weekly and The Black River Tribune, before moving to the daily Rutland Herald. She worked as a metropolitan reporter for the now-defunct Washington Star, and in 1982 joined The Wall Street Journal, where she worked for 12 years. She was the first woman at the WSJ to be named White House correspondent, and subsequently, senior writer and front page editor.She served as a war correspondent and foreign correspondent for the Journal, where she reported on the bombing of the American barracks in Beirut, the Persian Gulf War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the last days of Communism in the former Soviet Union. <mask> also contributes to the New York Review of Books, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the American Prospect. <mask> has co-authored two books: Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas (1994) (co-authored with Jill Abramson), a study of the nomination and appointment of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court; and Landslide: The Unmaking of the President, 1984–1988 (1989; co-authored with Doyle McManus), an account of Ronald Reagan's second term in the White House. Strange Justice was adapted as a 1999 Showtime television movie of the same name, starring Delroy Lindo, Mandy Patinkin, and Regina Taylor. Strange Justice was a finalist for the 1994 National Book Award for Nonfiction, and both books were finalists for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Time magazine said of Strange Justice: "Its portrait of Thomas as an id suffering in the role of a Republican superego is more detailed and convincing than anything that has appeared so far." Of Landslide, The New York Times Washington correspondent Steven V. Roberts said, "This is clearly a reporter's book, full of rich anecdote and telling detail....I am impressed with the amount of inside information collected here." In an Elle magazine interview, <mask> said about her next article, “I’m focusing broadly on stories about abuses of power, threats to democracy, and corruption.”

The Dark Side
<mask>'s third nonfiction book, The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals (2008), addresses the origins, legal justifications, and possible war crimes liability of the use of enhanced interrogation techniques (commonly considered torture) on detainees and the subsequent deaths of detainees, sometimes victims of mistaken identity, under such interrogation by the CIA and DOD. The roles of Dick Cheney and attorneys David Addington and John Yoo in providing cover for the grisly procedures were prominent. The book was a finalist for the National Book Awards. In her New York Times review of The Dark Side, Jennifer Schuessler described the book as "the most vivid and comprehensive account we have so far of how a government founded on checks and balances and respect for individual rights could have been turned against those ideals." The Times subsequently named The Dark Side one of its ten most notable books of the year. Military and diplomatic historian, Colonel Andrew J. Bacevich, reviewing the book in The Washington Post, wrote: "[<mask>'s] achievement lies less in bringing new revelations to light than in weaving into a comprehensive narrative a story revealed elsewhere in bits and pieces."Washington Post reporter Joby Warrick reported that <mask>'s book revealed that a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst warned the Bush administration that "up to a third of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay may have been imprisoned by mistake." The administration ignored the warning and insisted that all were enemy combatants. In a story appearing the same day in The New York Times, reporter Scott Shane reported <mask>'s book as disclosing International Committee of the Red Cross officials had concluded in a secret report in 2007: "the Central Intelligence Agency's interrogation methods for high-level Qaeda prisoners constituted torture and could make the Bush administration officials who approved them guilty of war crimes." <mask> said of her book: "I see myself more as a reporter than as an advocate." Civil liberties
<mask> covered the Obama administration's prosecution of whistleblowers with an article about former National Security Agency (NSA) official Thomas Drake. Despite Obama's campaign promises of transparency, <mask> wrote, his administration "has pursued leak prosecutions with a surprising relentlessness." She won the Polk Award for the article, and the judges said her article helped expose "prosecutorial excess" and "helped lead to all major charges against Drake being dropped."Drones
In 2009, <mask> covered the Obama administration's use of drones. "The number of drone strikes has risen dramatically since Obama became President", she wrote. Her article described errors, ethical concerns, and potential unintended consequences in the increased use of drone strikes. Money in politics
For many years, <mask> has written about money in politics, covering and criticizing both liberals and conservatives. In 1997, she wrote an article about "dubious Democratic Party fundraising tactics leading to the 1996 election." The article described how the Clinton campaign "marketed the prestige and glamour of the Presidency as never before." In 2004, she wrote an article on George Soros and other activist billionaires who sought "to use their fortunes to engineer the defeat of President George W. Bush in the 2004 election."The article described Soros's "extreme measures" and how his "outsized financial role in the election" had "stirred alarm". In 2010, <mask> published an article about the political activities of the Koch brothers, describing their "war against Obama" and funding of the Tea Party and nonprofit organizations that sought to block liberal policy proposals and defeat Democratic candidates. The article was a finalist for the 2011 National Magazine Awards. In 2011, <mask> reported on retail sales millionaire Art Pope's dominant spending in North Carolina politics. It documented his extraordinarily successful efforts as a Koch brothers ally, who held seats on the boards of their Americans for Prosperity and Citizens for a Sound Economy organizations, to target both Democrats and moderate Republican state legislators and it predicted the redistricting-generated loss of Democratic congressional delegation seats. Her article won a Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, and the judges called it "the kind of journalism that strengthens democracy and shows the value of a free press." Mark Bauerlein, writing in the Chronicle of Higher Education, was critical of the piece, saying the article was "a tendentious, poorly-researched, and weakly argued bit of journalism" and that "Pope never gets a fair shake."In response to criticism, <mask> supplemented her article with a blog entry pointing out that, despite Pope's claims that he was "not an heir", his "political career was launched" by more than $300,000 from his parents. In 2012, <mask> wrote an article about President Obama's efforts to raise money from liberal billionaires, and the decision of his campaign to flip-flop and encourage fundraising from super PACs. Following the 2016 election cycle, <mask> covered the exertion of considerable influence of former Democratic strategist and pollster Patrick Caddell, in his capacity as advisor to reclusive contributor Robert Mercer for The New Yorker. Hedge fund director Mercer, joined in his efforts by his daughter Rebekah, has been an increasingly important source of substantial funding for right wing campaigns, including the successful candidacy of Donald Trump. Dark Money
In 2016, Doubleday published <mask>'s fourth book, Dark Money, which became an instant national best-seller. The New York Times named it one of the ten best books of the year. The New York Review of Books described it as "absolutely necessary reading for anyone who wants to make sense of our politics", and Esquire called <mask> "quite simply one of the very few, utterly invaluable journalists this country has".In interviews about her book, <mask> said approximately six investigators, led by former New York Police Commissioner Howard Safir, had been hired by the industrialist Koch brothers in an effort to try to dig up dirt in order to smear her reputation, as well as accusations of plagiarism being leveled against her. She responded by publicly airing those tactics of intimidation, effectively debunking the smear campaign. Dark Money won the 2017 Helen Bernstein Award, and was a finalist for the PEN Jean Stein Prize, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize. Eric Schneiderman resignation
On May 7, 2018, within hours of publication of an article <mask> co-wrote with Ronan Farrow in The New Yorker,  New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, resigned, effective May 8, 2018. During his term in office, he had been accused of physical abuse by at least four women with whom he had been romantically involved, and also of habitually abusing alcohol and prescription drugs. <mask> and Farrow had reported that they had confirmed the women's allegations both with photographs of contusions, as well as with statements from friends with whom the alleged victims had confided subsequent to the claimed assaults. Though he denied the allegations, Schneiderman stated he resigned because they "effectively prevent me from leading the office’s work".Governor Andrew Cuomo assigned a special prosecutor to investigate the filing of possible criminal charges against Schneiderman. Appearances
<mask> has appeared as a guest on the Charlie Rose Show, as well as on the Late Show with David Letterman. She was also a guest on the Bill Moyers Journal show on PBS in 2008, and appeared as a guest on PBS Tavis Smiley show on August 7, 2008, to discuss her book The Dark Side, which had just made The New York Times Best Seller list. She appeared as a guest on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report on August 12, 2008. On January 26, 2009, <mask> was interviewed at the Yale Law School Law and Media lecture series by Linda Greenhouse, Distinguished Journalist in Residence, and Emily Bazelon, Truman Capote Fellow in Creative Writing. In October 2008, <mask> participated in a panel discussion of journalists at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, devoted to the media's coverage of the Iraq War. That same month <mask> participated as a panelist in a discussion of the same subject at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.Although not a personal appearance by <mask>, the FOX show 24 had a minor character in its seventh season named <mask>. The character was named after <mask>, who wrote, ""Well, there's kind of a balancing sensation. The elevation to the U.S. Senate is a nice start to the year, but the sex change is a bit disappointing, since if I have to be male, I was hoping for a younger, more fit body, and a better head of hair. It does however fulfill one of my greatest fantasies, which is that I have long had subpoena envy." <mask> has appeared frequently on Free Speech TV's Democracy Now! program. On February 17, 2016, she was interviewed by American University journalism professor Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity, at a public discussion of her career and Dark Money that was broadcast on C-Span.Awards and honors
<mask> was awarded the 2008 John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism for her investigative report leading to her book The Dark Side. The Award, presented annually by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, is given to reporters for "distinguished cumulative accomplishments." In presenting the award, Nicholas Lemann, dean of the journalism school and one of the nine members of the award committee, noted that <mask> and her fellow winner, Andrew C. Revkin (science reporter for The New York Times) "set the gold standard for journalists, and we have benefited tremendously from their dedication and hard work." She also has won the Ridenhour Book Prize and the New York Public Library's Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism. <mask> was a finalist in the National Magazine Awards for 2007 for her nonfiction piece in The New Yorker entitled The Black Sites, which was subsequently collected in The Best American Magazine Writing 2008, published by Columbia University Press, and edited by Jacob Weisberg.

In 2009, <mask> was awarded the Hillman Prize, the Shorenstein Center's Goldsmith Book Prize for trade book of the year, and the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize for The Dark Side.She received the Edward Weinthal Award from Georgetown University, in 2009, and the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism in 2010. <mask> was awarded the George Polk Award for Magazine Reporting in 2011 for her investigative reporting on the relentless United States Department of Justice prosecution of NSA whistleblower Thomas Andrews Drake. <mask>'s article in The New Yorker told the story of how Drake faced up to 35 years in federal prison for communicating non-classified information about an NSA surveillance program known as "Trailblazer" to Baltimore Sun reporter Siobahn Gorman, who wrote a prize-winning article about it. Drake had been arrested after an investigation meant to identify the source for the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2005 New York Times report on warrantless wiretapping, Neither Drake nor any other NSA employee had actually been the story's source. After <mask>'s story was published, the prosecution dismissed all 10 felony charges against Drake. He pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of violating rules regarding the retention of classified materials. In 2012, <mask> received the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting for her coverage of North Carolina state politics.In 2020, <mask> was awarded the Mirror Award for the Best Single Article/Story for her New Yorker article on detailing relation between Fox News and the White house.

<mask> (born 4 September 1944) is a former English cricketer. <mask> was a left-handed batsman who bowled left-arm fast-medium. An opening bowler, <mask> had a successful career with Gloucestershire County Cricket Club which spanned from the 1966 season to the 1978 season. His name sometimes appeared in reports and on scorecards as J.J. <mask>, although this was not accurate: the second initial was a mischievous creation by his county captain Tony Brown and the writer Alan Gibson, whose campaign to embellish <mask>'s name even extended to the production of a commemorative tie, in <mask>'s testimonial season, with "J.J?" on it. Early life
Born in Tavistock, <mask> was the son of an auctioneer's clerk who played and administered club cricket for over 30 years, as well as playing for Devon. He was educated at Tavistock Grammar School, where when playing cricket for the school, as well as in his early club cricket days, <mask> wanted to be a slow left-arm bowler.It wasn't until when he was playing for his village club side, Milton Abbot, that the team found itself short of a seam bowler. <mask>, who at the time was 14, was given the new ball. He performed so well in his new role, that for the rest of his career he would become a seam bowler. Upon leaving school, he began an apprenticeship as a compositor for the Tavistock Gazette. After performing well in club cricket, he later made his debut in county cricket for Devon in the 1964 Minor Counties Championship against Cornwall. <mask> played Minor counties cricket for Devon on four more occasions in 1965. Gloucestershire
It was in 1965 that he came to Gloucestershire's attention, appearing for the county Second XI on a couple of occasions in that year.The following season, <mask> made his first-class debut for the county against Cambridge University, although he spent the majority of 1966 in the county Second XI. 1967 saw <mask> establish himself in the Gloucestershire team, making regular first-class appearances, as well as making his List A debut against Lancashire in the Gillette Cup. His first full season playing for Gloucestershire was a successful one, with his left-arm bowling taking 60 wickets at a bowling average of 27.65. He took his first five wicket haul, one of two that season, against Surrey when he took 5/40. However, it was in that season that he took his career best bowling figures, 6/95 against Nottinghamshire. Standing over 6 feet tall, <mask> was an opening bowler, often sharing the new ball with South Africa Test cricketer Mike Procter, who had joined Gloucestershire in the season before <mask>'s debut. With South Africa being banned from international cricket due to their governments apartheid policies, this ended Procter's international career, thus allowing him and <mask> to form a highly productive partnership over the next decade.Throughout the 1970s, <mask> played an important support role for Procter, taking over 40 wickets in 1971 and 1972, plus chipping in with 26 in 1973. <mask> was just as successful in the limited-overs arena. He was played in the famous semi-final of the 1971 Gillette Cup, which didn't end until five-to-nine, with <mask> bowling 11 overs for the cost of 22 runs. Despite this, Lancashire won the match and proceeded to the final. He considers this the bowling performance he is most proud of. <mask> made a notable performance in the semi-final of the 1972 Benson & Hedges Cup against Yorkshire, when he bowled 9 overs, conceding just 6 runs. 7 of his maiden overs came with Geoffrey Boycott at one end, a batsman though not known for his fast scoring rate.He won the 1973 Gillette Cup with Gloucestershire, playing through the majority of the tournament with painkilling injections in both his knees, a fact kept quiet among his contemporaries in cricket. The lumps of fat under both his kneecaps were removed in an operation, which caused <mask> to miss a large part of the 1974 season. He consistently averaged in the mid to low twenties with the ball in hand between over 20 wickets for 4 straight seasons from 1972 to 1974. Following his most successful first-class season in 1975, in which he took 64 wickets at an average of 26.26, which included his highest quantity of five wicket hauls, claiming 5 of them in 20 matches. However, after the 1976 season, in which his bowling performances dipped in both forms of the game when compared to preceding seasons, he played less often for Gloucestershire thereafter. With his time at the county coming to an end, <mask> had his benefit year in 1978, alongside teammate and close friend David Shepherd. He did though make 15 first-class appearances in his last season in 1978, taking 30 wickets at a respectable average of exactly 30.His final first-class match came against Yorkshire at North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough. This was his 175th first-class match for Gloucestershire. His career with Gloucestershire spanned 13 seasons, during which time he took 411 wickets at an average of 28.51, with <mask> taking a five wicket haul on 9 occasions, although he never took a ten wicket haul in a match. <mask> generally batted at number 11 in the Gloucestershire batting order, and was well known as a blocker. An example of his defensive nature came against Glamorgan on the last day of the 1973 season. <mask> came to the crease with Gloucestershire 210/9, still requiring 57 runs to win. <mask> scored 17 runs off 94 balls, supporting number 10 John Mortimore, who scored the majority of the runs in their partnership as Gloucestershire went on to win.He scored 918 runs during his first-class career, at a batting average of 7.77. He made a solitary half century, which came against Glamorgan in 1977, which was his only first-class appearance that season. His final season also saw him play 9 List A matches, the last coming against Lancashire in the 2nd round of the 1978 Gillette Cup. His List A career with the county spanned 12 season, during which time he took 170 wickets at an average of 26.21, with best figures of 4/11. Later life
With the end of his career with Gloucestershire, <mask> embarked on new pursuits. In an interview for the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 1975, he stated his desire to become a heavy goods vehicle driver on a full-time basis, having worked as one for the winters of 1973 and 1974 after acquiring his licence. In previous winters he had worked as a carpet salesman in Bristol, where he had made his home with his wife, Melora, who herself was originally from Princetown, Devon.The end of his professional cricketing career did not bring an end to his cricketing endeavours. He appeared for Devon in a single Minor Counties Championship match in 1981 against Cornwall, as well as making 2 List A appearances in the 1983 NatWest Trophy against Leicestershire and Warwickshire in the 1985 NatWest Trophy. He later ran the Court Farm pub in Abbotskerswell for many years. <mask> appeared in the 1997 documentary Grace & Favour: A Portrait of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, alongside former teammates Zaheer Abbas and David Allen, and later Gloucestershire player Mark Alleyne. In 2009, he appeared in a short comedy film entitled Dow Jones, where he played the part of Dow Jones' girlfriend. When his lifelong friend and former teammate David Shepherd died, <mask> described him as being "like a brother". At the time of Shepherd's funeral, <mask> was semi-retired and living in Topsham, Devon.References

<mask> (born April 10, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His collegiate basketball career ended in his first season with a tear of his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at the University of Kentucky. <mask> was drafted with the sixth overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft by the New Orleans Pelicans. His rights were later traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. He plays center and power forward, and was one of the top high school basketball players in the class of 2012. High school career

Born outside Boston in Malden, Massachusetts to Haitian immigrant parents, <mask> spent his first two years of high school at Everett High School. After his sophomore year, he transferred to Tilton School in Tilton, New Hampshire.<mask> was originally a part of the class of 2013, but reclassified to the 2012 college recruiting class. <mask> averaged 12.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.9 blocks per game as a senior. He was rated as the #1 player in the class of 2012 by ESPN and Scout.com, and the #2 player by SLAM. <mask> was selected to play in the 2012 Nike Hoop Summit and the 2012 Jordan Brand Classic. In addition to his high school career, <mask> also played AAU basketball on the same team as future Sixers teammate Michael Carter-Williams. Shortly before his high school graduation, an article in The New York Times described <mask> as being hailed as one of the best shot blockers of his generation, although he was also described as having unrefined offensive skills. College career

After deliberating among several elite college basketball programs, <mask> decided in April 2012 that he would be going to the University of Kentucky to play NCAA Division I basketball.He made his verbal commitment by revealing the UK logo shaved in the back of his head on national television. Since <mask> was well known for his elite shot blocking abilities, fans and the media had high expectations for him to fill the shoes of Anthony Davis, who had just led the Kentucky Wildcats to a national championship in the previous season, was the 2011–2012 National Player of the Year in the NCAA, and set a Kentucky and NCAA freshman single-season block record with 186. In his third game on November 16, 2012, he accumulated 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, and 4 steals against Lafayette. On January 12, 2013, although Kentucky lost the game against Texas A&M, <mask> recorded 15 points, 11 rebounds, 7 blocks, 6 assists, and 4 steals. On January 29, 2013, <mask> set the UK single-game record with 12 blocks in an 87–74 team victory over #16 Ole Miss. Five of the blocks happened while <mask> had four personal fouls, and two of them were denials on slam dunk attempts. The UK school record was previously nine blocks, set by Sam Bowie in 1981 and was then tied by Andre Riddick in 1993.Although he recorded only two points, Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said in the post-game press conference that "[<mask>] was the difference in the game" and that he is "an incredible defensive presence." Ole Miss senior forward Murphy Holloway added that he believes Nerlens <mask> is the "best shot blocker [he has] played against", including Anthony Davis. On February 12, 2013, in a game against the Florida Gators, <mask> tore the ACL in his left knee after blocking a Florida lay-up, forcing him to sit out the remainder of the season. Before his injury, it was projected that he would be the 1st overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft. Despite his injury, <mask> decided to declare for the 2013 draft on April 15, 2013. <mask> was honored with many awards, including SEC Freshman of the Year, SEC Defensive Player of the Year, SEC First Team, SEC All Freshman Team, and SEC Community Service Team. In addition to earning All-SEC first team honors by the league's coaches, <mask> earned first-team honors from the Associated Press, continuing a four-year streak of UK players earning first-team AP honors.The Wildcats'  center was joined by UNLV Runnin' Rebels' Anthony Bennett, UCLA Bruins's Shabazz Muhammad, Oklahoma State Cowboys's Marcus Smart and Kansas Jayhawks's Ben McLemore on the Freshman All-America team. He was the fifth Kentucky player under coach John Calipari to earn the honor from the USBWA, joining John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Professional career

NBA draft
<mask> entered the 2013 NBA draft after playing one season at the University of Kentucky and was projected to be one of the top picks, with many considering <mask> the favorite to be picked first in the draft. He was invited to sit in the "green room", a room of the projected top 10 to 15 collegiate basketball players during the draft and ended up being selected with the sixth overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans. There were concerns around the league about his torn left ACL, which may have caused him to slide down the draft. Later that night, <mask>'s draft rights were traded along with a 2014 first round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for guard Jrue Holiday and the draft rights to Pierre Jackson. Philadelphia 76ers (2013–2017)

Draft year injury and rookie season (2013–2015)
On July 12, 2013, the trade sending <mask> to the 76ers was finalized.On September 24, 2013, he signed with the 76ers. Although the 76ers' original plan was to have <mask> play during the 2013–14 season, <mask> missed the entire season as he recovered from knee surgery. In July 2014, <mask> joined the Philadelphia 76ers for the 2014 NBA Summer League. In game one of the 76ers' Orlando Summer League schedule, <mask> played his first minutes of professional basketball, scoring a game-high 19 points in the 76ers' 83–77 loss to the Orlando Magic. On October 29, 2014, <mask> made his long-awaited NBA debut in the 76ers' 103–91 loss to the Indiana Pacers. In just under 35 minutes of action as a starter, he recorded 6 points on 2-of-11 shooting, along with 10 rebounds and 3 blocks. Two days later, the 76ers exercised their third-year team option on <mask>'s rookie scale contract, extending the contract through the 2015–16 season.Later that day, he recorded 14 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal in a loss to Milwaukee Bucks. On January 30, he recorded 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, and a then-career-high 6 blocks in a 103–94 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Participating in the 2015 Rising Stars Challenge on February 13, <mask> recorded 4 points and 4 rebounds as Team USA were defeated by Team World, 121–112. On February 20, <mask> recorded 12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals, and a career-high 9 blocks in a loss to the Indiana Pacers. A week later against Washington, <mask> became just the third 76ers' rookie to record 100 blocks in a season. Injury and rotation issues (2015–2017)
On October 30, 2015, the 76ers exercised their fourth-year team option on <mask>'s rookie scale contract, extending the contract through the 2016–17 season. On December 30, he recorded a season-high 20 points and 9 rebounds in a 110–105 win over the Sacramento Kings.On February 11, he was ruled out of the 2016 Rising Stars Challenge due to tendinitis in his right knee. On October 22, 2016, <mask> was ruled out for three to five weeks due to an inflamed plica above his left knee that required surgery. After spending time with the Delaware 87ers of the NBA Development League on injury rehab assignments in late November and early December, <mask> made his season debut for the 76ers on December 11 against the Detroit Pistons, having missed the first 23 games. He scored eight points in 10 minutes off the bench before leaving the game in the second quarter with a left ankle sprain. Even before he returned to the team, <mask> was particularly vocal about the log-jam the 76ers had at the center position with him as well as Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor, and Richaun Holmes competing for time on the court. In his second game back from injury, <mask> posted just eight minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers, much to his frustration. <mask> expressed his dissatisfaction with his limited role in a post-game conference, lamenting "I'm not an eight-minute player.So I don't know what that's about. I don't really care [who he's paired with]. I need to be on the court playing basketball. I'm too good to be playing eight minutes right now—that's crazy... Need to figure this [stuff] out". Following a matchup against the Brooklyn Nets in which <mask> did not play, coach Brett Brown announced <mask> would not participate in the 76ers regular rotation for the foreseeable future while emphasizing the move was unrelated to <mask>'s recent disagreements with the team. Contrary to Brown's statement, <mask> returned two games later, and assumed a backup role behind Embiid as Okafor recovered from a right knee injury.On January 24, 2017, while making his first start of the season in place of the injured Joel Embiid, <mask> scored a season-high 19 points and had three blocked shots in a 121–110 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

On June 23, 2017, the Mavericks tendered a $4.1 million qualifying offer to make <mask> a restricted free agent. On August 26, 2017, he accepted the one-year, $4.1 million qualifying offer, officially re-signing with the Mavericks two days later. In the Mavericks' season opener on October 18, 2017, <mask> had 16 points, his most since joining Dallas, and 11 rebounds in a 117–111 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.On December 8, 2017, he underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb.

<mask> (born 29 October 1950) is a Scottish composer who is often regarded as belonging to the New Complexity school. <mask> studied art and design, linguistics, piano, acoustics, Indian rhythm, mathematics and computer music, but is self-taught in composition. <mask> was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Honours include first prize in the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in 1978, the Kranichsteiner music prize at Darmstadt in 1982, and five Royal Philharmonic Society composition awards, most recently for his chamber piece Tanz/Haus: triptych 2017. <mask> taught at Darmstadt from 1982 to 1992, and has been a guest lecturer and composer at various institutions around the world. He taught at the University of Minnesota School of Music in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 2007 to 2014. Selected works
His major works include choral and vocal music, including the cycle L'évolution du vol (1993) and the opera Philomela (2004), the orchestral works helle Nacht (1987), ignis noster (1992), Via Sacra (2000), and La navette (2001), as well as a violin concerto for Thomas Zehetmair (2000) and the piano concerto Andromeda (2006) for his partner, Noriko Kawai, all showing an ease of writing for large forces.From 1982–2000, <mask> worked on the Nine Rivers cycle, a 3-hour work for voices, strings, percussion, live electronics and computer-generated tape. The epic work was first performed in full in Glasgow, November 2010. Andrew Clements of The Guardian awarded it a full five stars, describing the last movement (“Oceanos”) as having a “Wagnerian grandeur” and stating, “The cumulative power of [Nine Rivers] is massive, the range of musical experience vast.”

His considerable body of chamber music, often written expressly for a performer's individual abilities, includes solos for clarinet, drumkit, cello, flute, piccolo, guitar, violin, viola, and accordion, alongside eight string quartets (1983, 1991, 1998, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2017), the five-part Book of Elements for piano (1997–2002) and the soadie waste for piano and string quartet (2002/3). In 2013, Tom Service referred to the Book of Elements as “the most significant contribution to the pianist's repertoire since György Ligeti's Études.” His fourth string quartet received the 2005 Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award for Chamber-Scale Composition. He won the same award in 1997 (for Traumwerk, Book 1), 2002 (for The Book of Elements 5), and 2017 (for Tanz/Haus: triptych 2017). His music has been published by Edition Peters since 1982. 2, 1991
