However, soon after, Guardiola stated "in principle he'll go out on loan". Many teams throughout Europe were linked with Keirrison after hearing of Barcelona's plan to loan-out the Brazilian in order to acclimatize him to European football, including Roma, Monaco and Ajax. In articles published several years following his arrival at Barcelona, Keirrison was chosen as one of the worst signings in the history of the club.Loan to Benfica
On 28 July 2009, it was announced Portuguese Primeira Liga club Benfica agreed on terms to take the Brazilian on loan for the 2009–10 season. Keirrison scored his first goal for Benfica in a friendly against Celtic. However, with the abundance of strikers in form at Benfica, Keirrison found it hard to break into the first team; to some, Keirrison was behind Óscar Cardozo, Nuno Gomes and Javier Saviola in the pecking order at the Estádio da Luz. While in Portugal, Keirrison started one match for Benfica and played a total of just 199 minutes. In January 2010, then Benfica manager Jorge Jesus even went as far as to say that he did not plan to play Keirrison for the remainder of the season. Nonetheless, Keirisson became a Portuguese champion thanks to the five league matches he featured in for Primeira Liga winners Benfica. Loan to Fiorentina
On 31 January 2010, Fiorentina announced on its website it had come to terms with Barcelona to take Keirrison on loan until the end of the 2011–12 season.Barcelona also granted La Viola an option to purchase Keirrison outright, after his loan, for €14 million. On 7 February 2010, just one week after being signed, <mask> made his official debut for La Viola after coming on as a substitute for Manuel Pasqual in the 84th minute in a 1–0 loss against Roma.

On 10 July 2010, <mask>'s loan with Fiorentina was terminated prematurely, and on 12 July, he was loaned by Barcelona to Brazilian side Santos. With Santos, Keirrison won the 2011 Copa Libertadores, but as a reserve. In August 2011, he was loaned to Cruzeiro until the end of the 2011 Brazilian season.In March 2012, <mask> was loaned to his original club, Coritiba, until the end of the 2013–14 season. Permanent move to Coritiba
On 7 March 2014, Keirrison agreed a free transfer with Coritiba which was validated on 1 July, after his contract with Barcelona terminated. In September 2015, Keirrison went to court against Coritiba requesting unpaid wages and medical expenses from a surgery to recover from an injury. In November, after the club claimed to have paid the debt, Keirrison said he would not play in the next match against Figueirense, claiming he "would not be ready". One director told the reason might be that "he [Keirrison] checked his bank account and the money was not there yet", thus deciding not to play. He was released after the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. 2016
On 18 January 2016, Keirrison flew to Thailand to sign for Buriram United, however both sides could not agree on a deal and the transfer deal fell through.From Coritiba to Londrina (twice)
Keirrison scored eight goals in 24 starts for Londrina in 2016 before returning to Coritiba, via Arouca in Portugal, only to sign for  Londrina on a 2-year contract in January 2018 to compete in the Campeonato Paranaense, Série B and Copa do Brasil. On 3 February 2018 he got his first goal since returning with the equaliser in the Alviceleste's match with Cianorte in the Café Stadium that finished 1-1. Personal life

texts: <mask> (born February 4, 1959), nicknamed "L.T. ", is an American former professional football player who spent his entire career as a linebacker for the New York Giants (1981–1993) in the National Football League (NFL). After an All-American career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1978–1981), <mask> was drafted by the Giants as the second overall selection in the 1981 NFL Draft. Although controversy surrounded the selection due to <mask>'s contract demands, the two sides quickly resolved the issue. <mask> won several defensive awards after his rookie season. <mask> is both the first and currently only NFL player to win the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in his rookie season. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, <mask> was a disruptive force at outside linebacker, and is credited with changing defensive game plans, defensive pass rushing schemes, offensive line blocking schemes, and offensive formations used in the NFL.<mask> produced double-digit sacks each season from 1984 through 1990, including a career-high of 20.5 in 1986. He also won a record three AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards (a record now tied by J.J. Watt and Aaron Donald), and was named the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) for his performance during the 1986 season. <mask> is one of only two defensive players in the history of the NFL (the other one being Alan Page in 1971) to have ever won the NFL MVP award, and no defensive player has won since him. He was named First-Team All-Pro in eight of his first ten seasons, and Second-team All-Pro in the other two. <mask> was a key member of the Giants'

During the 1980s, <mask>, fellow linebackers Carl Banks, Gary Reasons, Brad Van Pelt, Brian Kelley, Pepper Johnson, and Hall of Famer Harry Carson gave the Giants linebacking corps a reputation as one of the best in the NFL. He is widely regarded as the best defensive player of his generation, and is often considered to be the greatest defensive player of all time.<mask> has lived a controversial lifestyle, during and after his playing career. He admitted to using drugs such as cocaine as early as his second year in the NFL, and was suspended for 30 days in 1988 by the league for failing drug tests. His drug abuse escalated after his retirement, and he was jailed three times for attempted drug possession. From 1998 to 2009, <mask> lived a sober, drug-free life. He worked as a color commentator on sporting events after his retirement, and pursued a career as an actor. His personal life came under public scrutiny in 2010 when he was arrested for having sex with a 16-year-old girl. After he pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute, <mask> was registered as a low-risk sex offender.Early life & career

He did not play organized high school football until the following year (eleventh grade), and was not heavily recruited coming out of high school.After graduating from Lafayette High School in 1977, <mask> attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was a team captain, and wore No. 98. Originally recruited as a defensive lineman, <mask> switched to linebacker before the 1979 season. He had 16 sacks in his final year there (1980), and set numerous defensive records. He was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American and the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year in 1980. While there the coaching staff marveled at his intense, reckless style of play. "As a freshman playing on special teams, he'd jump a good six or seven feet in the air to block a punt, then land on the back of his neck", said North Carolina assistant coach Bobby Cale."He was reckless, just reckless."

1981 NFL Draft and training camp

In the 1981 NFL Draft, <mask> was drafted by the NFL's New York Giants in the first round as the 2nd pick overall. In a poll of NFL General Managers (GMs) taken before the draft 26 of the league's 28 GMs said if they had the first selection they would select <mask>.

Giants GM George Young predicted before the draft that he would be better than NFL legends such as Dick Butkus: "<mask> is the best college linebacker I've ever seen.Sure, I saw Dick Butkus play. There's no doubt in my mind about <mask>. He's bigger and stronger than Butkus was. On the blitz, he's devastating." On draft day, Phillips made good on his promise not to draft <mask> and the Saints instead selected Heisman Trophy-winning halfback George Rogers with the first pick, leaving the Giants with the decision of whether to select <mask>. To the raucous approval of the crowd in attendance at the draft (which was held in New York City), the Giants selected him. Privately, <mask> was hesitant about playing for New York as he had hoped to be drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, and was unimpressed with a tour of Giants Stadium he was taken on, after the draft.Publicly, however, he expressed excitement about the opportunity to play in the city. <mask> changed his stance after he was drafted as Harry Carson made a point to reach out to him, and <mask> said he "talked to some players and coaches" and "got things straightened out." One of the factors that the Giants said they considered in selecting <mask> was his solid reputation. "He was the cleanest player in the draft. By that I mean there was no rap on him", said head coach Ray Perkins. "Great potential as a linebacker, a fine young man, free of injuries." <mask> chose to wear number 56 because he was a fan of Cowboys linebacker Thomas Henderson.As

Reports came out of the Giants training compound of the exploits of the new phenom. <mask>'s teammates took to calling him Superman and joked that his locker should be replaced with a phone booth.

<mask> made his NFL regular season debut on September 6, 1981, in a 24–10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Aside from incurring a penalty for a late hit on Eagles running back Perry Harrington, <mask> played a nondescript game. In a game versus the St. Louis Cardinals later in the season, <mask> rushed and sacked the passer when he was supposed to drop into coverage. When told by Parcells that was not what he was assigned to do on that play, and that what he did was not in the playbook, <mask> responded "Well, we better put it in on Monday, because that play's a dandy." He recorded 9.5 sacks in 1981, and his rookie season is considered one of the best in NFL history.He was named 1981's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, making him  the only rookie to win an Offensive or Defensive Player of the Year award. <mask>'s arrival helped the Giants defense reduce their points allowed from 425 points in 1980 to 257 in 1981. They finished the season 9–7, up five games from the previous season, and advanced to the NFL divisional playoffs, where they lost 38–24 to the eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers. The San Francisco win was due partly to a new tactic 49ers coach Bill Walsh used to slow <mask>. Walsh assigned guard John Ayers, the team's best blocker, to block <mask> and, although <mask> still recorded a sack and three tackles, he was not as effective as normal.

The 1982 NFL season, which was shortened to nine regular season games by a players strike, included one of the more memorable plays of <mask>'s career.In the nationally televised Thanksgiving Day game against the Detroit Lions, the teams were tied 6–6 early in the fourth quarter, when the Lions drove deep into New York territory. Lions quarterback Gary Danielson dropped back to pass and threw the ball out to his left toward the sidelines. <mask> ran in front of the intended receiver, intercepted the pass, and returned it 97 yards for a touchdown. This play was indicative of <mask>'s unusual combination, even for a linebacker, of power with speed. He was again named Defensive Player of the Year. After the 1982 season, Perkins became head coach of the University of Alabama and the Giants hired Parcells to replace him. In the coming years this change proved crucial to the Giants and <mask>.Leading up to the 1983 season, <mask> engaged in a training camp holdout that lasted three weeks and ended when he came back to the team under his old contract with three games left in the preseason.

Frustrated by the losing, <mask> began acting out by arriving late for meetings, and not participating in conditioning drills in practice. After the season, <mask> was involved in a fight for his services between the Giants and the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League.<mask> was given a $1 million interest-free, 25-year loan by Generals owner Donald Trump on December 14, 1983, with the provision that he begin playing in the USFL in 1988. <mask> regretted the decision, and less than a month later attempted to renege. His agent was able to negotiate by meeting with Trump personally and then the Giants which resulted in allowing <mask> to go with the Giants. <mask> got a 6-year, $6.55 million package that also included a $1 million interest-free loan. The main results of these negotiations were threefold: 1) <mask> returned the $1 million to Trump, 2) the Giants paid Trump $750,000 over the next five seasons, and 3) the Giants gave <mask> a new six-year, $6.2 million contract. The Giants' record rebounded to 9–7 in 1984, and <mask> had his fourth All-Pro season.

The Giants had a resurgent season in 1993. They finished 11–5, and competed for the top NFC playoff seed.<mask> finished with 6 sacks, and the Giants defense led the NFL in fewest points allowed. They defeated the Minnesota Vikings 17–10 in the opening round of the playoffs.

I've done everything I can do. I've been to Super Bowls.I've been to playoffs. I've done things that other people haven't been able to do in this game before. After 13 years, it's time for me to go." <mask> ended his career with 1,089 tackles, 132.5 sacks (not counting the 9.5 sacks he recorded as a rookie because sacks did not become an official statistic until 1982), nine interceptions, 134 return yards, two touchdowns, 33 forced fumbles, 11 fumble recoveries, and 34 fumble return yards.

 one of the most "feared" and "intimidating" players in NFL history. <mask>'s explosive speed and power is credited with changing the position of outside linebacker from a "read and react" type of position to a more attacking, aggressive position.Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs developed the two tight end offense and the position of H-back to prevent <mask> from blitzing into the backfield unhindered. "We had to try in some way have a special game plan just for <mask>. Now you didn't do that very often in this league but I think he's one person that we learned the lesson the hard way. We lost ball games." His skills changed the way offensive coaches blocked linebackers. In the late '70s and early '80s, a blitzing linebacker was picked up by a running back. However, these players were no match for <mask>.The tactic employed by San Francisco 49ers head coach Bill Walsh in the 1982 playoffs, using an offensive guard to block <mask>, was copied around the league. However, this left a hole in pass protection that a blitzing middle linebacker could exploit. Later, Walsh and other coaches began using offensive tackles to block <mask>. Later it became common for offensive linemen to pick up blitzing linebackers. In addition to the changes in offensive schemes <mask> influenced, he also introduced new defensive techniques to the game such as chopping the ball out of the quarterback's hands rather than tackling him. Drug and lifestyle problems

His first wife, Linda, once had to pick him up from a crack house. And he once attended a team meeting still handcuffed from the night before by some "ladies that were trying out some new equipment", but "just didn't happen to have the key" he would recall. In 1987, he finally tested positive for cocaine, and admitted to using it. The next year, 1988, he failed a second drug test, whereupon the NFL suspended him for 30 days. With that, he abstained from drugs until his 1993 retirement, as a third failed drug test would end his career. Yet he would later recall that in retiring, "I saw blow as the only bright spot in my future."During 1995, he went through drug rehab twice. But over the next three years, he was arrested twice, via undercover police officers, for attempts to buy cocaine. Meanwhile, he associated mainly with drug users, and his home usually had white sheets over its windows. "I had gotten really bad. I mean my place was almost like a crack house," <mask> would later explain. Post-NFL life

Simms recalled, "[a]ll of a sudden it kind of hit me, I've put <mask> in a really tough spot; national TV, he's got dress shoes and a sports jacket on, and he's had a few beers and he's going to run down the field and I'm going to throw him a pass." Simms motioned for <mask> to run a long pattern and after 30–40 yards threw him the pass. <mask> later said the situation made him more nervous than any play of his career, "I'm saying

Movies & video games
<mask> pursued a career in acting, appearing in the Oliver Stone movie Any Given Sunday where he played a character much like himself. He appeared as himself in the HBO series The Sopranos and the film The Waterboy. He also had a role in the 2000 version of Shaft. <mask> voiced the steroid-riddled, possibly insane former football player B.J. Smith in the video game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The character poked fun at his fearsome, drug-fueled public image.He also added his voice to the video game Blitz: The League and its sequel, which were partially based on his life in the NFL. He also acted in the 2000 Christian film Mercy Streets with Eric Roberts and Stacy Keach, and the 2003 prison movie In Hell with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Hall of Fame induction
In 1999, when <mask> became eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, there were some concerns his hard-partying lifestyle and drug abuse would hurt his candidacy. These concerns proved to be ill-founded, however, as he was voted in on the first ballot. His son <mask> Jr. gave his introduction speech at the induction ceremony. <mask>'s ex-wife, his three children, and his parents were in attendance and during his induction speech <mask> acknowledged them saying, "thank you for putting up with me for all those years." He also credited former Giants

Hailed as "a Woman to Watch in the New Century" by Newsweek, She wrote several books and regularly contributed original commentaries to National Public Radio. As a Latina writer drawing on her own life experiences, much of her works gave voice to the complexities of lives straddling two worlds: working-class Mexican-American heritage and southern California pop culture.<ref>del Barco, Mandalit (January 7, 2015) "Remembering 'Generation Mex' Writer And Proud Outsider <mask>" National Public Radio All Things Considered"</ref> She described how she never quite fit in through poems and prose that were both poignant and hilarious. Education and personal life
Born in Oxnard, California <mask> was the second daughter to George R<mask> (deceased 2016), a municipal court interpreter and <mask>, a drafts person  (deceased 1991). She has one sister, Yvonne, six years her senior. Growing up in the prominently Hispanic community of El Rio, a semi-rural, unincorporated community on the northeast edge of Oxnard, <mask> was a latchkey child due to the arduous, burdensome work schedule endured by both parents. Upon returning to the community library for a book signing, she remarked, "This library was my home away from home when I was growing up" and considered herself a lifelong reader.She spent her free time watching TV game shows, digging holes in the backyard, and skateboarding. When <mask> was 11 years old, her parents separated. Feeling overwhelmed with fear and confusion she wrote to the only person she felt would understand, young-adult author Judy Blume. Blume wrote back suggesting that she keep a diary as an outlet for her emotions, thus inspiring a foundation for <mask>' writing career. Unlike the assertion made by many authors about their own time as a youth, <mask> feels she wasn't a "nerdy, withdrawn teen" that ate lunch alone in the school yard. As a

<mask> (; 8 August 1940 – 2 July 2007) was an Indian international cricketer. He played Tests for the Indian national team as a batsman, the only Goa-born cricketer to play for India, and was often regarded as one of India's best batsmen against spin, although Indian batsmen have been known to play better against spin. Early life and career
<mask> grew up in a Saraswat Brahmin family of Margao, a town in the erstwhile Portuguese India (in the present-day Indian State of Goa). He studied in the New Era high school there. The region had no cricketing infrastructure during his growing days in the early 1950s. His family moved to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1957, when <mask> was 17. He attended the city's Wilson College where his cricketing talent was spotted by coach 'Manya' Naik.<mask> made his first mark in cricket in the inter-university Rohinton Baria Trophy in 1959–60 where he made 435 runs at an average of 87. He would later recall that he was called up for the trials for the Combined Universities team that was to play the touring Pakistan side in 1960–61. Impressed by his technique, Lala Amarnath, the chairman of selectors, drafted him into the team. <mask> made the playing XI, thus making his first-class debut, against Pakistan in Pune in November 1960. <mask> went on to make 87 in 194 minutes in his only innings of the match, while also taking Hanif Mohammad's catch with his fielding. In his next game, playing for Board President's XI against the same Pakistan side prior to the Fourth Test of the tour, he scored an unbeaten century (106 in 260 minutes), putting together a 134-run stand with Vijay Mehra for the third wicket. Test career
<mask> had little to show in first class cricket in 1961–62, except for a 281 against Gujarat in a university match.He was included in the India team for the Second Test of England's India tour, in Kanpur, in December 1961. Leading up to the Test, he was described as an "aggressive strokeplayer". In his debut innings <mask> made 28

He innings lasted 108 minutes. <mask> toured the West Indies later in the season, playing in three of the five Tests. He was captain Nari Contractor's opening partner in a tour game against Barbados that saw the former hit on the head by a Charlie Griffith delivery after <mask> had lost his wicket. Contractor's injury created a place for <mask> in the Test team.He scored 31 and 60 in the Test at Bridgetown, opening the batting, but was dropped after he was dismissed for a pair in the following match. <mask> scored 449 runs in the five Test series against England in 1963–64 with 79 and 87 in the Fifth and final Test as the most notable performances, helping India to secure a draw after being made to follow on. Against New Zealand in 1964–65, <mask> scored a double century at Bombay and a very fast hundred that set up a win at Delhi. New Zealand had forced India to follow on at Bombay, but <mask>'s unbeaten double-century nearly won the match for India. He played against West Indies in 1966-67, and then toured England in 1967, where he injured himself on a staircase in the pavilion at Lord's and missed the First Test at Headingley. He recovered to appear in the Second Test back at Lord's, but a broken finger sustained during that match ended his tour. He was dropped after two Tests in Australia in 1967–68 due to injury and a series of failures.<mask>'s career had seemed over until he was picked for the Indian tour of West Indies in 1970–71. In the First Test at Kingston, India lost the first five wickets for 75, before <mask> hit 212 runs and took the total to 387. His 112 in the next Test at Port of Spain led to India's first victory over West Indies. This innings made him the first Indian to score a double century outside India. He hit another 150 in the Fourth Test after India were 70 for 6. His 642 runs in the series stood as an

The Athletic News of 2 February 1903 ran this biography of Harrower:
This gentleman, P. R, Harrower, is a Scotsman birth and Londoner choice for business purposes, so that he may be classed in the same school its his fellow compatriots, Dr. John Smith and A. J. Christie, so far as devotion to both codes of football is concerned. At his college in the North of Scotland, Harrower was a very keen rugby player, but he left the land of his birth for the Metropolis in 1879, and forthwith turned out for the Reindeer club as a three-quarter, but the London Scottish commandeered him two years later, and continued with them until his marriage some six years later, though he admits that did really play under the name of Scott what time he should have been merely a spectator.But

<mask><mask> (January 11, 1903 – December 30, 1988) was an American experimental psychologist and writer. As a faculty member at Vanderbilt University from 1929 to 1938, <mask> published research comparing the mental abilities of whites and blacks, alleging whites were superior. A member of the Southern Agrarians, he was a contributor to I'll Take My Stand: The South and the Agrarian Tradition. In the 1940s, <mask> was chair of the Department of Psychology at Vassar College, where he showed that the pain threshold depended on specific individuals. In 1947, he served as the Executive Director of the Committee on Human Resources of the United States Department of Defense. Later, <mask> was chair of the Department of Psychology at New York University and the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (UI), followed by vice president and provost at UI. He ended his career as the Director of Administrative Affairs and Educational Statistics for the American Council of Education, and retired in Phoenix, Arizona.Early life
<mask> <mask> was born on January 11, 1903 in Madison County, Tennessee. <mask> was educated in public schools and attended prep school at Valparaiso University in Indiana. He attended Vanderbilt University from 1920 to 1923, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Philosophy. One of his professors, <mask> Sanborn, who was the Chair of Psychology Department at Vanderbilt University, recommended him to work with Professor Joseph Peterson, a scholar in race psychology at Peabody College, then a separate college across the street from Vanderbilt University. As a result, <mask> received an MA in 1924 and a PhD in 1926 from Peabody College. Academic career

As early as 1929, he gave a lecture to the International Congress of Psychology suggesting whites and black varied "markedly in mental ability". Meanwhile, in his 1929 Studies in the Comparative Abilities of Whites and Negroes, co-authored with Joseph Peterson, <mask> tested the mental abilities of whites versus blacks. They concluded that "the whites were superior" due to "hereditary differences." Moreover, they added that whites finished their tests more quickly; they concluded this was due to "cultural factors." A review published in the American Journal of Sociology in 1930 suggested, "the results show enormous and statistically reliable superiority of whites over Negroes." (sic) However, in a review for the American Journal of Psychology, Otto Klineberg argued that based on their evidence, he came to a "totally different" interpretation.He stressed the role of environment in mental abilities, as New York City blacks tested higher than Southern blacks. Nevertheless, he added that the study offered "a number of other interesting results which would merit serious discussion." Moreover, in 1937, another psychologist named J. P. Foley agreed that the environment was the salient factor, not race. Two years later, in 1939, <mask> responded to Foley and persisted that his views were not "antiquated." From 1932 to 1936, <mask> served as secretary/treasurer of the Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology. In 1934, with Vanderbilt colleague Beverly Douglas, he gave a talk to the society about research they conducted on remaining sensations for victims of accidents who have lost an organ. By 1937, <mask> served as the president of the Southern Society.At Vanderbilt, <mask> also became a Southern Agrarian

In his essay, he suggested that community could only occur in "the agrarian community and in the villages and towns which are its adjunct", thus in rural America. He went on to stress the need of a "stable population," thus rejecting immigration, and the family as "the natural biological group, the normal milieu of shared experiences, community of interests, integration of personality." For Paul Lauter, a Professor of American Studies at Trinity College, <mask> created a "familiar binary" between "industrial capitalism: the city, the artificial, the mechanical, cosmopolitan, Jewish, liberal, and new," including the "terrifying ghost" of "communism", and "the agrarian: natural, traditional, harmonious, balanced, patriarchal, settled--like the medieval world." In a letter to Lula Ulrica Whitaker, a master's student who was writing a thesis on the Southern Agrarians, he stressed the need to stress "private enterprise" over "corporate enterprise". Meanwhile, in a 1936 essay entitled, 'Big Business in the Property State' published in Who Owns America: A New Declaration of Independence, an anthology co-edited by Allen Tate and <mask>, <mask> argued against the definition of a corporation as an individual. He was also in favour of collective bargaining.Indeed, he was in favour of the decentralization of power through widespread small ownership. From 1938 to 1948, <mask> served as the chair of the Department of Psychology at Vassar College. He served as the treasurer of the Eastern Psychological Association from 1941 to 1947. During that time, he conducted research on fifteen college girls, coming to the conclusion that the level of electric current

In 1947, <mask> took a leave of absence from Vassar College and served as the executive director of the Committee on Human Resources of the United States Department of Defense.

Additionally, he served as Secretary of the Society of Experimental Psychologists from 1948 to 1951.<mask> was a professor and head of the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign from 1950 to 1958, and as the Dean of its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences from 1959 to 1960. He entered into a contract with the Air Force Personnel Center to establish the Training Research Laboratory. As Dean, <mask>, alongside President David Dodds <mask>, was held personally responsible for firing Leo Koch, an Assistant Professor of Biology who had written a public letter promoting premarital sex. However, in another letter, President <mask> made it clear that <mask> agreed with him, not Koch. <mask> went on to serve as Executive Vice-President and Provost of the University of Illinois from 1960 to 1972. In 1962, as provost, he imposed a strict no-cheating policy, and asked professors to report any instances of cheating during exams. Meanwhile, in 1963, he approved of the arrest of a Christian evangelist on campus due to regulations.In 1967, he suggested basing freshman acceptance bids on psychology tests rather than high school grades.

<mask> became famous as an American street artist/graffiti artist and contemporary painter under the name of Smear in the 2000s. He further rose to prominence in a series of high-profile arrests and subsequent articles on the arrests and on his art which appeared in the Los Angeles Times from 2009 to 2011, followed by television appearances and further media coverage. In 2011 the Los Angeles Times called Smear "a subculture sensation" and his work has appeared in contemporary art galleries, and a solo museum exhibit in 2009. He was also a defendant in a civil lawsuit filed by the L.A. City attorney's office, a lawsuit which largely because of its First Amendment implications has garnered the attention of international media, including the Huffington Post, L.A. Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, and the Associated Press. L.A. graffiti scene

Smear has been influential in the Los Angeles graffiti scene since the late 1990s. He was one of the first Los Angeles street artists to use street art methods in his graffiti. Before Smear, street art and graffiti art were considered separate communities.Graffiti practitioners at the time in the L.A. scene rarely ventured into the forms popularized by Smear. As a graffiti artist, Smear was further distinguished from the others by his uncomplicated graffiti writing style, unlike the intricate wildstyle works which are commonly a part of graffiti art. Smear's uncomplicated style used a spontaneous repertoire of images, designs and slogans. Among Smear's most famous street art images are his "Liquor Face" character (which momentarily appears in DreamWorks Pictures' animated film Bee Movie), and another image which is a shadowy depiction of Smear's own face, with "Smear" written underneath. Marc Ecko's Complex Magazine put Smear at number 14 on their list of "The 50 Biggest Street Art Arrests" of

In February 2007, <mask> <mask> "Smear" was arrested for alleged graffiti on LACMTA buses.A graffiti vandalism conviction resulted in a 40-month suspended prison sentence, three years' probation, and about $28,000 in restitution for tagging on buses. In February 2009 <mask> was arrested again mistakenly in a sweep aimed at a tagging crew that calls themselves the Metro Transit Assassins (MTA), a crew Smear was suspected of having once been a part of. Members of that MTA crew were accused of perpetrating a quarter-mile long graffiti which is claimed by many to have been the largest single work of graffiti in the world. Following that 2009 sweep, <mask>/<mask> spent about a week in jail, but charges against him were never filed. In June 2010, the L.A. city attorney filed a civil lawsuit against 11 alleged members or alleged former members of the MTA crew, <mask> being named in that lawsuit as one of the alleged members or former members of the crew. The suit had asked for $5,000,000 in restitution from the 11 defendants and was seeking a first-of-its-kind injunction against a graffiti crew,  an injunction modeled on those made for violent street gangs. One of the provisions sought would prevent <mask> from using his graffiti name "Smear" in his art work."It raises extreme 1st Amendment issues, " said Peter Bibring, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, who is representing Gheorghiu. "The government shouldn't be in a position of saying you can't make art from certain materials". On March 16, 2011, the Los Angeles Times published a column
