 Tigers' 1977 spring camp as a nonroster player, but impressed manager Ralph Houk and made the major league roster without ever having played a game at the Triple-A level. He made his major league debut at age 20 and, 10 days later, threw a four-hit shutout against the Boston Red Sox. Despite missing the last three weeks of the season with a shoulder injury, he finished his rookie season with a 15-7 record and a 3.09 ERA and led the Tigers in wins, ERA, complete games (16), and innings pitched (218), and ranked third in the league in winning percentage (.682), fifth in adjusted ERA+ (138), sixth in strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.71), and eighth in complete games. He won post-season honors as the American League Rookie Pitcher of the Year and the Tigers' rookie of the year.He also finished fourth in the voting for Rookie of the Year and ninth for the American League Cy Young Award. <mask> formed part of a distinguished group of rookies with the 1977 Tigers that included Jack Morris, Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker, Lance Parrish and Steve Kemp.

As a result, <mask> had to be carried off the field on a stretcher. He required a knee surgery the next day and was put on the disabled list for the rest of the 1982 season. In October 2006, Sports Illustrated selected <mask> as one of the "10 Greatest Characters in Detroit Tigers History". His selection was based on (1) the "karate kick" misfire, (2) a subsequent injury the same year in which <mask> fell on a flask in his back pocket and needed 11 stitches in his hip, (3) an incident in which he shoved a bar glass into the face of teammate Alan Trammell resulting in 47 stitches near Trammell's eye, (4) missing a team bus when he overslept after judging a wet T-shirt contest, and (5) using Brillo pads to wash his new car. On July 9, 2008, the minor league team in <mask>'s home town, the West Michigan Whitecaps, gave away an unusual promotional item, "Dave Rozema Karate Kick Bobbleleg" figures.Later years: 1983-1986

<mask> came back from the injury in 1983 with an 8-3 record and 3.43 ERA in 105 innings pitched. In addition, he played on the 1984 Tigers team that won the World Series.

title: Naoum Mokarzel

texts: <mask> (sometimes spelled "Naʿum Mukarzil";  / ALA-LC: Naʻūm Mukarzil; 2 August 1864 – 5 April 1932) was an influential intellectual and publisher who immigrated to the United States from Mount Lebanon in Ottoman Syria. <mask> established his first daily publication, Al-ʿAsr (The Epoch) which floundered less than a year after its first issue. He attended medical school for two years before dropping out and became notorious within New York's Arab-speaking community for his aggressive character and controversial demeanor. He engaged in libel and disputes with other immigrants that often became physical and violent. He was arrested on several occasions but was never jailed; his actions stoked politico-sectarian animosity within the Arab-speaking communities of the US. In 1895 <mask> was accused of adultery with a married woman; the two got married and eloped to Philadelphia where, on 22 February 1898, he published the first issue of his second newspaper Al-Hoda (The Guidance). Al-Hoda would grow to become the largest and longest-running Arabic daily newspaper in the United States.In 1902 <mask> got divorced, he moved with his brother Salloum back to New York where they set up the newspaper's office. Naoum collaborated with Ameen Rihani who published a regular section in Al-Hoda and he married Rihani's sister, Saada, in 1904. The two men fell out when <mask> and Saada divorced and because of political values differences. <mask> claimed that his publication was secular but his writings often showed religious bias; he used his publishing house to print and circulate Maronite politics and Lebanese nationalism. In 1910, Naoum and Salloum adapted the linotype machine to the Arabic script to replace manual typesetting. This contribution paved the way for cheaper and easier publishing for Arabic-speaking communities throughout the world. That same year he married his third wife but he never had children.<mask> was politically engaged and called for the separation of Lebanon from the Ottoman empire. In 1917 he collected more than $30,000 US in donations to relieve the

He represented the Lebanon League of Progress in the post-World War I Paris Peace Conference of 1919 where he advocated for French tutelage over Mount Lebanon; he saw his endeavors materialize in the next few months with the creation of the State of Greater Lebanon. <mask> championed freedom of expression, religious tolerance, and women's right for education. He attacked the clergy for sanctioning female illiteracy, and child and forced marriages. He appointed the Lebanese-American journalist Afifa Karam as Director of Women's Issues and had a regular column published about the community's women issues. <mask> died on 5 April 1932 in Paris; his body is interred in his hometown of Freike in Lebanon.Biography

Youth in Mount Lebanon
<mask> was born into a Maronite Catholic family from the town of Freike in Mount Lebanon, then a semi-autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire. His father Antoun, a Maronite priest, and his mother <mask> née Akl were influential figures in local civic and political affairs. <mask> attended school at the Collège de la Sagesse in Beirut and received higher education at the Jesuit Saint Joseph University in Beirut. After graduation, <mask> moved to Cairo, Egypt where he landed a job teaching literature at the Jesuit college; he became ill with fever after a year there and returned to his hometown in 1886 where he founded a boarding school. <mask>'s return to Lebanon was brief and he soon decided to move to the United States. <mask> traveled with two relatives, Abdo Rihani and the latter's nephew, Ameen, who would become a major figure in the Mahjar literary movement. In New York, early careers and turmoil
On August 4, 1888, <mask>anis landed in New York; they lived in the basement of 59 Washington Street in Manhattan, a part of the city that was known as Little Syria due to the settlement of a growing Arab Christian immigrant population.The majority of the Syrian and Lebanese

The Jesuit-educated <mask>, who was fluent in French, was quickly hired to teach the language at the Saint Francis Xavier's College in Manhattan, a Jesuit institution at the time. Besides teaching, he was also employed as a bookkeeper for different businesses before engaging in a dry goods commerce venture with Abdo Rihani in 1891. The business failed and <mask> consequently departed for Mount Lebanon in 1892. Upon his return to the United States, the Arbeelys, a Greek Orthodox family of Damascene origins, had begun printing Kawkab America (American Star), the first Arabic-language newspaper in North America; <mask> set out to open his own newspaper Al-ʿAsr (The Epoch) with capital from his wealthy merchant friend, Najeeb Maalouf. <mask> and Nageeb Arbeely engaged in a journalistic feud, personally attacking each other resulting in series of lawsuits and counter-suits between the two newspapers.The enterprise floundered and was discontinued less than a year after its commencement. <mask> attended medical school for two years before dropping out. Meanwhile, <mask> was gaining notoriety for his controversial demeanor; he engaged in brawls and verbal disputes with other Arabic-speaking immigrants and was arrested on several occasions for libel and physical assault against members of the community affiliated with the Arbeely family. The brawls that started as a result of professional competition and personal antipathy evolved into sectarian battles between <mask>'s Maronite entourage and the Orthodox families of the community. Despite his multiple arrests, <mask> was never jailed but the incidents were to continue. In 1895, Tannous Shishim, a Lebanese immigrant, petitioned for divorce from his wife Sophie on the ground of adultery and <mask> was named co-respondent in the court proceedings. The Arbeelys were quick to publish the culpable news in their newspaper along with a bilingual transcript of the judge's decision, further

 tarnishing the reputation of <mask>.The accused couple got married and eloped to Philadelphia to flee the community's public denunciation. Inception of Al-Hoda

In Philadelphia on February 22, 1898, the estranged <mask> published the first issue of his second newspaper Al-Hoda (The Guidance), which became the longest-running Arabic newspaper in the United States. The first issue consisted of 18 pages of three columns each and appeared on a weekly basis. The publication expanded in November 1898 to 24 pages including six full pages of advertisement and was distributed in over forty countries. In early 1899, <mask> boasted that the circulation of Al-Hoda surpassed that of its main competitor, the Orthodox-inclined Kawkab America. Although claiming to be a non-sectarian publication, Al-Hoda was, like most of the New York-based Arabic newspapers, a mouthpiece to voice the confessional stances of the paper's owner. Al-Hoda was aimed primarily at the Arabic-speaking Levantine immigrants, especially the Maronite community; it reported on Ottoman politics in the Levant, political reform in Lebanon and on the environment of immigrant-run businesses.<mask>'s brother Salloum traveled to the United States and joined the enterprise that same year. The format of the publication changed after Salloum's arrival; Al-Hoda began appearing twice weekly and was reduced to eight pages with more space reserved for paid advertisements. Despite his standing in the American Maronite community, infamy and controversy still followed <mask>. In 1899, the newlyweds published in Al-Hoda an apologetic article of Sophie's divorce from her previous husband and their subsequent marriage. However, <mask>'s marriage was failing; he separated from Sophie on the same year that their defensive article was published and they divorced in 1902. Sophie returned to New York and took up selling linens before moving to South California where she started a linen shop and married her third husband, a Levantine confectioner. The <mask> brothers continued to print Al-Hoda in Philadelphia until late

 1902.Back in New York
In 1902, <mask> and his brother moved back to New York and settled in Brooklyn; they set up their newspaper's office on Manhattan's West Street. The first issue of Al-Hoda was published from the New York offices on 25 August 1902 and was since published on a daily basis. In 1904, <mask> married Ameen Rihani's sister Saada, who according to <mask>'s niece and biographer <mask>, was very eager to marry him. Ameen Rihani brokered his sister's marriage to <mask> but the two never cohabited and Saada soon returned to Mount Lebanon. In 1908, <mask> sued for divorce from Saada in absentia on the account that she had committing adultery in a hostel in Mount Lebanon. The divorce was settled in May and was followed by a ten-year dispute in which Saada tried to prove her innocence and to win alimony. <mask> and Ameen Rihani had a lasting professional collaboration with Ameen publishing a regular section entitled Kashkoul al-Khawater (Patchwork of Thoughts) from 1901 until 1904.The two writers fell out because of <mask>'s divorce from Saada and because of political differences and conflicting values. Competing newspapers and sects
<mask>'s approach to the Arab American community's other newspapers was contentious and confrontational, and he accused the editors of the other newspapers lacking integrity and professional ethics. The most frequent targets of <mask>'s attacks were Kawkab America and Al-Islah (The Reform). <mask> posited ever since the establishment of Al-Hoda that his newspaper was secular and independent, accusing the other Arabic US-based newspapers of being sectarian and aligned to France, Britain, Russia and to the Ottomans. This position was staunchly upheld by <mask> until two Maronite clergymen Yusuf Yazbek and Estephan Qurqumaz sought to publish Al-Sakhra (The Rock), a newspaper representing American Maronites. Feeling threatened by the looming publication, <mask> contravened his previous positions and declared that Al-Hoda had always served the Maronite sect and nation and accused the clergymen of seeking "personal and

 dishonorable purposes". Yazbek accused Mokarzel's newspaper of being a mouthpiece of another Maronite priest, Khairallah Stefan.<mask> and his newspaper eventually prevailed. The animosity prevailing between the newspapers representing different sects mirrored an intra-communal sectarian strife that turned violent in later years. In August 1905, <mask> reported that the Orthodox bishop Raphael Hawaweeny called upon his followers to "crush" him. The tensions developed into violence in the autumn of 1905 when the partisans of Hawaweeny and <mask> sympathizers clashed, resulting in 29 injured. The sectarian tension in Little Syria reached its zenith in 1906 when John Stefan, brother of the priest Khairallah Stephan, was killed in a restaurant brawl on Washington Street. <mask> was apprehended by the police for the assault that was linked to the murder. <mask>'s calumnious accusation and arrest were overturned as the complainant did not show up to the trial.The charge was dismissed and the police authorities settled on an Orthodox man, Elias Zreik, as the murderer. During Zreik's trial, the prosecution held that Elias and his brother George were sent to kill <mask>; when they did not find him in his office they set out to the restaurant where his Maronite sympathizers often met. New Arabic printing era and political involvement
In 1910, the <mask> brothers decided to adapt the linotype machine to Arabic script to mitigate the expensive cost and tedious task of manual typesetting. <mask> <mask> imported Arabic type letters from Egypt and acquired the first such machine for Al-Hoda from the Mergenthaler company. While the linotype machine made printing cheaper, there was significant competition for readership since New York's Arabic-speaking community did not exceed 10,000 before World War II. Through his writing in Al-Hoda and other American journals, <mask> was gaining further prominence as a leading figure of the American Maronite community and was seeking a similarly prominent woman to marry. In 1910 he married for the third and last time; his wife, Rose

 Abillama hailed from a princely Maronite family and was more than twenty years his minor.<mask> did not have any offspring from any of his marriages. In 1911, <mask> became the permanent president of the Lebanon League of Progress (Jamʿiyyat al-Nahda al-Lubnaniyya), a Maronite organization established in the US by the journalist Ibrahim Najjar (1882-1957) and dedicated to promoting a French-supported Maronite protectorate in Lebanon. In June 1913, <mask> was the Lebanon League of Progress delegate to the First Arab Congress in Paris where he represented the North American Maronites. Delegates to the congress discussed reforms to grant the Arabs living under the Ottoman Empire autonomy. The congress did not have a lasting effect, due mostly to the beginning of World War I. In 1917, <mask> sought and collected through Al-Hoda more than $30,000 US in donations to relieve his compatriots in Mount Lebanon who were experiencing a great famine due to Entente and Ottoman blockades. The collected donations were to be personally dispensed by <mask>, but half of the money was directed to fund a volunteer armed force that was gathering to enter Lebanon instead of toward relief aid.<mask> incorrectly surmised that the Entente powers would come to the Maronite force's assistance, but they did not take interest in the armed venture. <mask> represented the Lebanon League of Progress in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 where he advocated French tutelage over Mount Lebanon. On 28 September 1919, when the prospects of French control began to materialize, <mask> dispatched a fervent telegram to his New York office announcing that the French army would replace the British forces in Greater Syria and that Lebanon would come under French guardianship. In 1923, on the occasion of Al-Hoda'''s Silver Anniversary, <mask> was celebrated as a leading figure by the Maronite and the non-Maronite literary community of America, as well as by a number of American friends.

His body was sent to Lebanon and interred in the family cemetery in his hometown of Freike. After his death, Al-Hoda came under Salloum's management, which passed at the latter's death in 1952 to his daughter Mary. The newspaper closed in 1971. Views and activism
<mask> held an esteemed position in New York's Arabic-speaking community at a young age; his political and social views were expressed in Al-Hoda as well as other non-Arabic American newspapers. According to  Suleiman, <mask> was an obstinate and passionate individual who fiercely clung to and defended his opinions and the survival of his publication. He sought to convert detractors to his point of view and he repeatedly made contradictory statements and opinions.<mask> engaged in many disputes with his detractors and with editors or rival newspapers and responded to criticism with personal attacks and sarcasm. Immigration
In 1896 the Ottoman government lifted the ban on the emigration of its subjects, prompting a surge of immigration to the United States from the Levant. The Ottomans saw benefit in the remittances sent by the Ottoman diaspora, which boosted the economy. In 1898, the Ford Committee lobbied for more stringent immigrant admission criteria to the United States and proposed to the US Congress that the undesirable be turned back. These measures aimed to dampen the flow of the non-European immigrants and prompted <mask> to call on all the community's newspapers to stop promoting immigration because the immigrants were likely to be turned back upon arrival. Despite the restrictive measures, only a small fraction of Levantine Ottoman immigrants were debarred. Lebanese independence

 more diplomatic; unlike Al-Ayam (The Days), another US-based Arabic newspaper, which was openly hostile toward the Ottoman sultan and authorities, Al-Hoda took a more cautious tone, reminding its Arabic-speaking American readers that they were above all, Ottoman settlers in a foreign land. In 1894, <mask> attended an event honoring the Ottoman sultan, giving an address in French to the assembled notables among whom was the Ottoman consul-general of New York. In 1899, <mask> criticized the newly established Young Syria Party that aimed to overthrow the Ottoman government and sought to recruit a militia for that purpose. At the turn of the twentieth century, <mask> began to openly express his disdain for the Ottoman consul in New York. <mask> represented the Lebanon League of Progress in the Arab Congress of 1913 in Paris advocating for the autonomy of Mount Lebanon within the Ottoman Empire. The mistreatment of the Lebanese during World War I and the ensuing famine were turning points for <mask>, who afterward openly called for Lebanon's independence from the Ottomans. In 1917, <mask> urged his readers to join a special battalion and fight alongside France to help force the Ottomans out of Lebanon.His call for action was met with distrust and was not successful as there was a growing concern that the recruits would be exploited in occupying Mount Lebanon on behalf of the French, not liberate it from the Turks. <mask> then engaged in a campaign among the Lebanese communities in the diaspora, especially in the Americas, to change the name of the community and its organizations from "Syrian" to "Lebanese". <mask> participated in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and advocated a French Mandate over Mount Lebanon to train the locals in good governance in preparation for independence. <mask> designed the flag used of Mandatory Lebanon; his calls for the establishment of a French-supported protectorate in Lebanon caused his detractors to accuse his newspaper of being financially supported by French endowments.

 practicing Maronite, <mask> had often criticized and clashed with the Maronite clergy especially al-mursaloon missionaries who collected funds for the purpose of building or renovating churches in Lebanon. The Maronite clergy members were not accustomed to accountability or reproach of their actions, and thus <mask>'s criticisms and accusations of corruption made them irate. He was subsequently accused by members of the clergy of being a Freemason.Instead of building more places of worship, <mask> pressed in a 1904 article for building more public and secular schools in which the clergy and religion had no influence, arguing that the priests were not serving their community. In a 1923 article, <mask> reasserted that secular schools were necessary to avoid sectarian antagonism and aversion between the people of the same nation. <mask> also criticized the clergy for imposing social and religious barriers on Syrian women which prevented them from receiving a formal education. <mask> also called for freedom of expression and religious tolerance and used the Al-Hoda publishing house to propagate these values. In 1903, Al-Hoda published Ameen Rihani's The Tripartite Alliance in the Animal Kingdom, a book that was critical of religion. Both Rihani and <mask> were severely attacked by the Catholic clergy and by the editors of many rival Arabic newspapers in the United States. Notwithstanding his previous calls for secularism, <mask> engaged in a sectarian campaign aimed at Lebanon's Muslim population in November 1925; in a New York Times article, he called for French protection of Lebanese Christians from "the ruthless fanaticism of the Mohammedan element".Women's rights and literacy
In a 1904 article entitled "You Are What Your Womenfolk Are", <mask> adamantly called against gender discrimination against women in education and attributed the Levantine women's lack of education to the backwardness of the clergy and their authority over women, which he argued, was the root cause of the lack of progress of the Arabic-speaking community of the United States. In an

 attack on the role of the clergy in barring women from education and from becoming teachers, <mask> described the women who submit to the clergy's impositions as traitors to God, and to the mothers' purpose of upbringing. <mask> attacked what he called "false modesty" and how the men of the community allowed their women to peddle freely and stay out of town overnight while labeling them as immodest if they became writers or gave public lectures. <mask> found an ally in Afifa Karam, a stalwart woman writer whom he appointed as "Director of Women's Issues" in Al-Hoda. She contributed a regular column in the newspaper and continued writing about the community's women issues despite angry attacks and attempts to shame her. <mask> further encouraged female education by offering a free Al-Hoda subscription to any literate woman from the Arabic-speaking community of the United States. <mask> was, however, against granting women the right to vote and women's involvement in politics.<mask> condemned forced marriages and child marriage that were still a tradition among Arabic-speaking communities of the US. Great Druze Revolt
<mask> was a vehement opponent of the Great Syrian Revolt of 1925 which pitted Syrian and Lebanese rebels against the French Mandatory authorities. <mask> formed the "Committee  to  help  the Lebanese victims and the refugees" and initiated a fundraising campaign supervised by the Lebanon League of Progress for the benefit of Lebanese victims of the uprising from Rashaya, Hasbaya and Marjayoun. He managed to collect more than half a million dollars that were transferred to a committee in Lebanon headed by Moussa Nammour, a member of the Lebanese parliament. Meraat-ul-Gharb (The Mirror of the Occident), a rival newspaper, accused Nammour of socializing with the French and accused Nammour's organization of corruption. <mask> was opposed to Emir Shakib Arslan, a leading figure of the Druze revolt, with whom he had fundamental political disagreements.

 his delegation.<mask> managed to get the delegation under surveillance. Arab whiteness and naturalization
In 1909 <mask> founded the Syrian American Association to defend the eligibility of Syrians to the American citizenship. <mask> and the SAA were engaged in the 1914 case Dow v. United States. The plaintiff, George Dow, was an Ottoman Syrian whose application for citizenship had been rejected twice by the lower courts of South Carolina. <mask> and Dow's lawyer mounted an elaborate defense of five points arguing why Dow was to be in the "white persons" category. <mask> argued that Syrians are of Arab origins, "the purest type of the Semitic race" and that therefore are "free white persons" falling within the meaning of the naturalization statute. In the final ruling, the judge in Dow's case accepted the Dillingham report which stipulated that Syrians were from the Semitic branch of the Caucasian race, that they were of mixed Syrian, Arabian and Jewish ancestry and were not from the Mongolian race of their Turkish overlords.The judge finally ruled that Syrians were "white persons", and consequently the court granted Dow American citizenship. The Dow case officially settled the issue of race and eligibility for citizenship for the early Arab Americans. Legacy
By adapting the linotyope machine to the Arabic script, Mokarzel and Al-Hoda paved the way for cheaper and easier publishing for Arabic-speaking communities all throughout the world; subsequently, the New York Arabic-speaking colony became an intellectual epicenter through the preponderance of Arabic printing presses. Al-Hoda grew to be an Arabic daily with the widest circulation in North America. The New York Times'' wrote in 1948 that this development "made possible and immeasurably stimulated the growth of Arabic journalism in the Middle East". See also

He was defeated for reelection in 2008 by Democrat Walt Minnick. <mask> was the first Idaho congressman to fail to win a second term in 56 years, since Republican John Travers Wood was defeated in 1952. Minnick also served only one term before being defeated by Raúl Labrador in 2010.Early life and education
Born in Portsmouth, Ohio, <mask> moved to Idaho with his family in 1962 at age ten. He graduated from Capital High School in Boise in 1972 and enrolled at Boise State College, attending for two years. Sali worked full-time for over four years, then returned to the renamed Boise State University in 1979, and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1981 at age 29. He was admitted to the University of Idaho law school in Moscow, where he received a Juris Doctor in 1984. Early career

 in disputes with some prominent Idaho Republicans, including former Idaho House speaker Bruce Newcomb and 2nd district congressman Mike Simpson. Despite past arguments, the Idaho Republican Party and Republican Party came out in support of <mask>'s candidacy. Vice President Dick Cheney, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, and then Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert all came to Idaho to support Sali, and his campaign received substantial financial backing from the Club for Growth, the Republican National Committee, and the National Right to Life PAC.<mask> was elected to Congress on November 7, 2006, defeating Grant 50% to 45% – a margin of only 11,900 votes. He was likely helped by coattails from Otter's gubernatorial bid; Otter won all but two counties in the district. 2008

<mask> sought reelection to the House in 2008. He defeated Iraq War veteran <mask> in the May 2008 Republican primary, but was defeated by Democratic challenger Walt Minnick in the general election. Minnick defeated Sali 51% to 49%, becoming the first Democrat to win a congressional election in Idaho in 16 years (Larry LaRocco was reelected in 1992). While <mask> carried 11 of the district's 19 counties, he could not overcome a 5,000-vote deficit in Ada County (home to both Sali and Minnick), which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the district's population. Tenure
<mask> was elected president of the 2007–08 Republican freshman class.Political positions

State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
In 2007, Congress took up the reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides health care for about 6 million children and 670,000 adults from families who earn too much money to qualify for Medicare but not enough to afford health insurance. Congressional Democrats and many Republicans tried to use the opportunity to dramatically expand the program but were opposed by President George W. Bush and other Republicans. In 2006, 5.4 million children were eligible but not enrolled in SCHIP or Medicaid and 9.4 million total children were uninsured. <mask> voted

 against the first House bill, which passed along party lines. Minimum wage
He opposed legislation to raise the minimum wage to $7.25 per hour, as well as a Republican motion to recommit. He argued that a minimum wage violates the "natural laws" of the free market, and to make his point he (facetiously) proposed the "Obesity Reduction and Health Promotion Act" which would mandate a 10% reduction in the force of gravity. Iraq War
Sali has consistently voted to support the Iraq War and has opposed all legislation aimed at withdrawing the United States' troops from Iraq.Sali said, "None of us like war. We all wish that victory in Iraq had been swift, clear-cut and definitive and that a stable and free government would have been operating in Baghdad, able to stand on its own. Clearly great progress has been made, particularly in the past year, and the future of Iraq is now more promising than ever. Yet, we remain at war. At a minimum, we owe it to our soldiers and to our national security to win this war by supporting those in the field. Only by doing so can we bring our soldiers safely home." Immigration reform
<mask> was a member of the House Immigration Reform Caucus and opposed President Bush's proposal for comprehensive immigration policy reform."Amnesty does nothing to secure our borders," Sali said. Other legislative action
In July 2007, Sali introduced legislation allowing for separate votes on bills that contain multiple subjects. <mask> based his proposal on his experience in the Idaho Legislature, noting that Idaho's constitution forbids grouping unrelated projects in a single bill. "Frankly, the process [in the Idaho Legislature] is an orderly process, and while it is political it is somewhat predictable," <mask> told the Idaho Statesman. "Congress is a whole other deal." In August 2007, <mask> introduced his second proposal to reform Congress. That bill called for Congress to make available a "red-line" version of legislation so that congressional representatives and the general public can easily see what is being added and removed from a

 that’s been over this country." In another interview, Sali said, "The idea that somehow we can move to multiculturalism and still remain the same – I think that's a little dangerous, too." "From my standpoint, I believe the Founding Fathers were overwhelmingly Christian and the God they were talking about is the God of the Bible." Sali was accused by some of wanting to impose a religious test for elected officials, but his spokesman said that Sali had no such intention. In an interview with the Idaho Statesman, Sali said of Ellison, "He got elected the same way I did.People certainly have the right to elect anyone they want." <mask> also denied that he wanted a religious test for office, citing the no religious test clause of the Constitution. But <mask> said he was opposed to multiculturalism in the U.S. government, saying, "Our nation was founded on principles that the founders took largely from Scripture. Those principles provide the basis for our form of government and are the source of the rights we enjoy as Americans." Committee assignments

 aboard. He was posted to the 20th Battalion which was being formed at Burnham Military Camp in Christchurch. In January 1940 the battalion left New Zealand as part of the 1st Echelon of the 2nd New Zealand Division. The next several months were spent training in Egypt but in March 1941, the division was one of a number of Allied formations sent to Greece to assist in the defence of the country. By this time Denvir had been promoted to corporal. Following the commencement of the Battle of Greece in April 1941, the Allies soon found themselves outclassed and in retreat.Within days, it was decided to evacuate the New Zealanders from beaches in the Peloponnese peninsula. However, the 20th Battalion's route to the beaches were cut off. While most were eventually evacuated from alternative sites to the west of Athens, <mask> was among those who were captured and made prisoners of war. <mask> was taken to occupied Yugoslavia where he was held in a prisoner of war camp at Maribor. In September 1941, he managed to escape with two others and made his way to Zagreb, where he was recaptured a week later. As punishment, he received three weeks of solitary confinement. This did not deter him from further escape attempts, and in December he again was able to get away from his captors.This time, he made his way to Ljubljana, in Slovenia. Initially intending to make their way to Turkey, a neutral power, he and another escapee decided to link up with Yugoslav partisans (National Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Yugoslavia) the following month instead.

By October 1942, he was serving with the 1st (Ljubo Sercer) Battalion, Krimski Odred, and later was commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 4th Slovenian National Freedom Shock (Ljubo Sercer) Brigade. Earlier in the year, it had been reported in New Zealand that Denvir had died and as a result, a death certificate had been issued. His employer had been making regular payments into a bank account set up for him while he was on active service and this paid out £100 to his wife on the announcement of his death. By January 1943, it had become known that he was alive and serving with the partisans; his employer resumed making payments into his bank account.Wounded for the fourth time in September 1943, <mask> was promoted to honorary lieutenant in the partisans the following month. In December, he was given command of a partisan brigade. Early the following year, he was evacuated to Italy to receive medical treatment. On his recovery, he worked with a British organisation providing equipment and supplies to the partisans before rejoining the 2nd New Zealand Division. He was promoted to sergeant, with effect from the date of his capture during the Battle of Greece, and then received a commission as a second lieutenant. For his actions during an attack mounted by the partisans on a train in August the previous year, <mask> was recommended for the Distinguished Service Medal (DCM) by a British liaison officer working with the Yugoslavs. The DCM was published in the London Gazette on 27 April 1944, in recognition of "gallant and distinguished services in the field".The same month, he was awarded

 the Soviet Medal for Valour. The recommendation, based on his service in Yugoslavia with the partisans, was made by Soviet liaison officers attached to the headquarters of Marshal Josip Tito. <mask> was the first and only New Zealand soldier of the war to be recognised with this award. He was sent back to New Zealand on furlough, arriving in June 1944. Initially passed as fit for a return to duty with the 2nd New Zealand Division, his status was later downgraded and he was considered unfit for active service. In September he was discharged from the 2NZEF. He was invested with the Soviet Medal for Valour by Brigadier E.

<mask> (born Phillip John Nicolosi) (10 July 1907 – 1986) was an American boxer who took the National Boxing Association World Light Heavyweight title by defeating Dave Maier on March 18, 1932, in Chicago. Early life and career highlights
Phillip John Nicolosi, was born on July 10, 1907, in Sandusky, Ohio, to Italian immigrant parents Ida and Thomas. During their lives, the family used more than one Anglicized spelling of their Italian surname, though Nicolosi's public and ringname remained <mask>. He would become a quite capable boxer with good ringcraft who fought the best competition of his era. On January 30, 1928, he lost to the exceptional black middleweight contender Jack McVey in Rochester, New York in a ten-round technical knockout. The bout was stopped by the referee in the final round with <mask> hanging helplessly on the ropes. McVey won every round, efficiently landing both head and body shots.<mask> lost again to McVey in a ten-round points decision in Buffalo, New York, in October of that year with both boxers fighting as welterweights. On August 25, 1931, <mask> finally defeated McVey, at least by newspaper decision, in a ten-round battle in Sandusky, Ohio. <mask> used speed, timing and a strong right to control the bout. The Associated Press gave <mask> every round, with the possible exception of the first and sixth. <mask> began to take a deciding margin on points in the third and fourth with consistent attacks. <mask> seemed on the verge of a knockout in the eighth through tenth, but McVey stayed on his feet throughout the bout using great defensive skills. Osk Till, a Light Heavy contender, fell to <mask> in a six-round points decision at the Broadway Ballroom in Buffalo on November 25, 1929.Harry Fuller drew with <mask> on February 10, 1930, in six rounds in Buffalo. The middleweights fought a lively bout. <mask> defeated Henry Firpo on March 24, 1930, in Oil City, Pennsylvania. The pace of the bout was unpopular with the crowd of 15,000 as both boxers moved slowly using caution and

 careful ringcraft in their defense. Nichol's trusty left had little snap against the effective blocking of Firpo. <mask>, the aggressor, led for the first seven rounds. The pace increased in the final three heats with <mask> breaking the close margin in the tenth which he won handily.Tiger Thomas lost to <mask> on July 25, 1930, in a close but controversial six-round decision. The referee gave Thomas four of the six rounds for his aggressive two armed technique, though both judges scored for <mask> who clearly led in the early rounds. The crowd of 3000 booed the ruling, believing the bout belonged to Thomas, the local boxer. Though Thomas staged a gallant come back in the closing rounds, it was too late to take the decision.

<mask> outpointed accomplished black middleweight Sunny Jim Williams in a ten-round points decision on November 11, 1930, in Franklin, Pennsylvania. Williams may have lost the favor of the judges as a result of his defensive posture through much of the bout.<mask> used his powerful left in the fourth and sixth to bring his opponent close to a knockout but <mask> weathered the attack exhibiting endurance and a skilled elusive strategy. In the middle of the forth, <mask> staggered his opponent with a left to the face that nearly led to a knockout, but for the sounding of the bell. Williams finally went down for a no count at the start of the fifth. One reporter gave Williams only the fifth, with seven rounds to <mask> and two even. <mask> gained an easy victory over Charley Belanger, the Light Heavy Champion of Canada, on December 3, 1930, at the Broadway Auditorium in Buffalo, New York. <mask> won handily taking seven of the ten rounds, that put him on course for the Light Heavyweight championship. Rosy Rosales fell to <mask> in a fourth-round technical knockout on June 15, 1931, at Braves Field in Boston.Though a close fight, <mask> seemed dominant. In the fourth,

 Rosales, suffering from a cut to his eye  dropped to the mat without being hit, and the referee stopped the bout. <mask> met Leo Laravee on July 13, 1931, winning a ten-round points decision at Brave's Field in Boston. <mask> floored Laravee for nine in the eighth, but he came off the deck gave his rival a great match through the final bell. In the enthralling clash of middleweights, <mask> stung his rival with his powerful left but Laravee fought back stronger than before. After being floored in the eighth, Laravee fought back with a two fisted barrage that thwarted Nichol's attempts at a knockout. <mask> appeared to have a slight edge in seven of the ten rounds.<mask> won a decisive newspaper decision against powerful puncher Chuck Burns on October 1, 1931, at Esmund Athletic Field in Sandusky, Ohio. One reporter gave eight rounds to <mask>, one round for Burns and one round a draw. <mask> entered the ring with bruised and swollen hands that apparently affected his ability to deliver a knockout punch or even knock his opponent to the mat. <mask> displayed his characteristic strong left and right jab and remained the aggressor through much of the bout. Burns opened up in the tenth to take the round by a slight edge. <mask> had defeated Burns earlier in December 1930 in Buffalo, New York.

<mask> had an easy time defeating black boxer Snowflake Wright on September 25, 1931, taking all ten of the bout's rounds.Wright, however, showed determination in avoiding a knockdown, even in the heated tenth round where he fended off Nichol's lefts to the face and body. At the end, <mask> lacked the punch to end the bout, though <mask> was at his mercy. The bout was the first round of the NBA Middleweight elimination tournament. On November 3, 1931, <mask> withdrew from the tournament after losing to future American and NBA World Middleweight champion Gorilla Jones in the Quarterfinals. Jones, the exceptional Black boxer from Akron, Ohio, would advance to
