Histon
Knight-Percival was born in Enfield, London. Having already spent his youth career at Histon, he debuted for the first team during the 2004–05 season, in which he made 12 appearances in all competitions, five of which came in the league.Histon enjoyed a successful 2004–05 campaign and were crowned champions of the Southern League Premier Division, resulting in promotion to the Conference South. He featured 42 times in the 2005–06 campaign, helping the "Stutes" to reach the play-offs, though was an unused substitute in the play-off final defeat to St Albans City. Histon then went on to dominate the division in the 2006–07 season, racking up 94 points to secure the Conference South title, with Knight-Percival contributing five goals from 28 games. He scored nine goals in 49 appearances in the 2007–08 season, as Histon finished two places outside the play-off zone. Histon qualified for the FA Cup in 2008–09, knocking out League One sides Swindon Town and Leeds United in the opening two rounds with two 1–0 wins, before finally losing 2–1 to Swansea City. Manager Steve Fallon said that the win over Leeds "was a huge day for the whole village" and ten years on Knight-Percival recalled it as being "the best day of my career". He went on to score ten goals from 50 matches as Histon posted a third-place finish in the Conference Premier, though they were beaten 2–1 on aggregate by Torquay United in the play-off semi-finals.The 2009–10 season ended with a disappointing 18th-place finish, though Knight-Percival added another seven goals from 45 games to leave his total tally at Bridge Road at 226 appearances and 37 goals. Wrexham
On 21 April 2010, Knight-Percival signed a pre-contract agreement at Wrexham for an undisclosed fee – believed to be around £5,000. He had worked in a car factory before joining the "Dragons", and had been keen to become a full-time professional footballer. Manager Dean Saunders said his versatility was a key attraction with Wrexham looking to reduce their playing budget. Knight-Percival scored four goals in 34 games in 2010–11, helping Wrexham to the play-off semi-finals, where they lost out 5–1 on aggregate to Luton Town after losing the first leg at the Racecourse Ground 3–0. He was converted to play at centre-back by Andy Morrell during the 2011–12 season. On 3 December, Wrexham knocked League One side Brentford out of the second round of the FA Cup; Wrexham won 1–0 and Knight-Percival came close to scoring with an overhead kick.They took Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion to a replay in the next round, before losing on penalties. Wrexham totalled 98 points in the league but had to settle for a place in the play-offs, and were once again beaten by Luton Town, losing 3–2 on aggregate. He was named on that season's Conference Premier Team of the Year, alongside teammate Mark Creighton. Peterborough United
Knight-Percival moved into the Football League when he signed a two-year deal with Peterborough United in May 2012, having already signed a pre-contract in January. In regards to the transfer, Knight-Percival said: "It's a massive step-up for me, but it's one I feel ready to take. Peterborough have a habit of finding players in the lower divisions who can perform much higher and hopefully I will be one of those." He made his full debut for the "Posh" against Reading in the second round of the 2012–13 League Cup; Reading won the match 3–2, and Knight-Percival scored an own goal in the 38th-minute after misjudging a cross from Danny Guthrie.He made his league debut on 18 September, starting in a 2–1 defeat to Bristol City at the London Road Stadium. He made 33 appearances throughout the 2012–13 season, which ended in relegation out of the Championship with defeat to Crystal Palace on the final day. His first game of the 2013–14 season was another second round League Cup tie against Reading, which Peterborough won 6–0. On 23 September, he received a red card against Milton Keynes Dons in the 7th-minute, following an elbow on Patrick Bamford; Peterborough were reduced to nine men when Mark Little was also sent off in the 76th-minute, but they managed to hold on to win 2–1. On 11 January, Knight-Percival scored his first goal for Peterborough in a 2–1 loss at Swindon Town. He made 23 appearances in all competitions during the season, including in Peterborough's 3–1 win over Chesterfield in the final of the Football League Trophy at Wembley. Just two days after Leyton Orient defeated Peterborough in the second leg of the League One play-off semi-final, Knight-Percival was among five players released by manager Darren Ferguson in May 2014.Shrewsbury Town
Knight-Percival joined Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer on 22 May 2014; the "Shrews" had just been relegated into League Two and new manager Micky Mellon signed a further 14 new players to reinvigorate the club. He made his debut on the opening day of the 2014–15 season, playing left-back in a 2–2 draw away at AFC Wimbledon, and scored his first goal at the New Meadow in a 3–1 victory over Cheltenham Town on 11 October. He was part of a strong back three defence, along with Jermaine Grandison and Connor Goldson, who were both athletic ball-playing centre-backs. However he was sent off for two bookings in a goalless draw away to Luton Town on 8 January, and the following month suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season. Shrewsbury continued to pick up results in his absence though, and secured automatic promotion back into League One with a second-place finish. He returned to the squad ahead of schedule after the sale of Goldson to Brighton & Hove Albion, although he only featured sparingly as he concluded his rehabilitation. After making his comeback in a Football League Trophy first-round match against Oldham Athletic, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory over Southend United in September and picked up the nickname 'Rolls Royce' for his assured performances.After the departures of Liam Lawrence and James Collins in the January 2016 transfer window, he became Shrewsbury captain. Town finished one place above the relegation zone and reached the fifth round of the FA Cup, overcoming Championship opposition in Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday, before bowing out of the competition with a 3–0 home defeat to Premier League giants Manchester United. Bradford City
Knight-Percival joined Bradford City on a free transfer on 1 July 2016, after rejecting the offer of a new contract at Shrewsbury. Initially seen as a squad player, his excellent form at the start of the 2016–17 season made him a "prominent" and "influential" player in the "Bantams" promotion push, partnering with Romain Vincelot at centre-back. Bradford qualified for the play-offs with a fifth-place finish, and Knight-Percival played in the play-off final defeat to Millwall on 20 May. He said that manager Stuart McCall's positivity in pre-season removed the disappointment of losing the play-off final. He scored his first goal for Bradford on 5 August in a 2–1 win over Blackpool.However he started the new season in poor form after being played on the right side of a centre-back two with Matthew Kilgallon. He soon got used to the position however and put in some good performances, despite occasionally struggling with physical players such as Rochdale's Calvin Andrew. He made a total of 46 appearances as Bradford ended the 2017–18 season with an 11th-place finish under the stewardship of Simon Grayson. New manager David Hopkin implemented a 5–3–2 system for his first match in charge on 8 September 2018, and Knight-Percival was reported to have "had his best game for months". He went on to feature 41 times in the 2018–19 season, scoring three goals and picking up two red cards. In May 2019, following Bradford City's relegation to League Two, new manager Gary Bowyer named as Knight-Percival as of 11 players to be released upon the expiry of their contracts at Valley Parade. Carlisle United
On 4 July 2019, it was announced that Knight-Percival had signed for League Two side Carlisle United on a one-year deal.Manager Steven Pressley said that "he's a player we've been pursuing for some time so it's been a slow burner". However Knight-Percival failed to build a good understanding with Byron Webster and featured just twice after Chris Beech replaced Pressley as "Blues" boss in November. He was one of ten players released at Brunton Park in May 2020. Morecambe
On 3 August he signed for League Two club Morecambe on a one-year deal. International career
Knight-Percival was called up by Paul Fairclough for the England C for their International Challenge Trophy fixture against Finland U23 in Helsinki on 14 November 2007. He won his one and only C team cap against Hungary U23 on 15 September 2009; the match finished as a 1–1 draw. Style of play
Knight-Percival spent the early part of his career as a winger, before converted into a left-sided central defender at Wrexham.Career statistics

title: Death of Mitrice Richardson

type: original

texts:
<mask> (born April 30, 1985 – remains found August 9, 2010) was a 24-year-old African-American woman who went missing on September 17, 2009, after police claim she was released from a jail in Calabasas, California, where she had been taken after behaving erratically at a restaurant. She was missing for 11 months before being found deceased in August 2010 by park rangers. <mask>'s parents have maintained that their daughter should never have been released on her own by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, given her obviously disturbed condition. In 2011, the <mask> family settled the civil lawsuit with L.A. County privately for $900,000. In January 2017, the California Attorney General's office concluded an investigation into the circumstances surrounding <mask>'s release from jail and decided not to bring charges against anyone involved in her release. Life and education
<mask> was the daughter of Latice Sutton and <mask>. She was raised by her mother and stepfather Larry Sutton in Covina, California.<mask> obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology in 2008 from California State University, Fullerton, after graduating from South Hills High School in West Covina, California. <mask> was an open lesbian, and at the time of her death, had been dating girlfriend Tessa Moon for about two years. She had also competed as a beauty pageant contestant, worked as an intern for a forensic psychologist and part-time as a dancer in an LGBT strip club. Disappearance
On the evening of September 16, 2009, <mask> entered the parking lot of <mask>'s restaurant in Malibu. Due to what staff and patrons at the restaurant described as "bizarre" behavior and the fact that she was unable to pay her $89 bill, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department from the Malibu/Lost Hills Station was called to assess her condition. The officers on the scene purportedly administered a field sobriety test and determined that she was not intoxicated and not under the influence of any substance. She was arrested on charges of "suspicion of not paying for the meal" and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.According to the arresting officers, upon her arrest, her phone, purse and money were secured in her car and her car was towed to a tow yard on the Pacific Coast Highway. <mask> was detained and booked at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station approximately ten miles (16 km) up Malibu Canyon. Although <mask>'s mother informed the station of concern for her daughter's mental health, and despite promises from the station personnel that she would not be released until later in the morning, <mask> was released on September 17, 2009, at 12:28 AM with no belongings and no means of calling for assistance. Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said <mask> was released from jail because "She exhibited no signs of mental illness or intoxication. She was fine. She's an adult." She had been invited to wait in the lobby, but declined.Several hours later, at 6:30 AM, she was seen in the backyard of former KTLA news anchor Bill Smith in Monte Nido. When Smith opened his window and asked if she was OK, <mask> told Smith that she was "resting." They stated that the police were called. Searches

On January 9, 2010, four months after she was reported missing, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department conducted one of the largest-scale searches in the history of the department. Over 300 volunteers trained in search and rescue operations participated in the 18-square-mile (47 km²) search in the area of Malibu Canyon. The search included both air and ground searches of creeks, trails, and ridges. <mask> was not found during this search.Maurice Dubois, father of slain Escondido, California, teen Amber Dubois, assisted <mask>'s family in a two-day search on June 5 and 6, 2010, in the Monte Nido area of Malibu Canyon. Over 100 private-citizen volunteers participated in the search of the area. Although <mask>'s remains were not discovered, searchers found racially and sexually offensive graffiti on the walls of a culvert in the canyon. The graffiti was freshly painted and paint cans, brushes and other potential evidence were left at the scene. The creek bed in Malibu Canyon where <mask>'s naked mummified remains were eventually discovered is adjacent to a 21-acre (8.5 ha) ranch that is known for producing pornography. It is very secluded and has direct access to the creek bed. When her body was discovered, the detectives on the case removed her body against the order of the coroner.Though residents reportedly heard screams in that area several nights after <mask> disappeared, her death was deemed to not be a homicide; there was no foul play. Media coverage
Mitrice appeared on the cover of People magazine in November 2009. <mask>'s disappearance was covered on an episode of Disappeared on the Investigation Discovery channel, entitled "Lost in the Dark"; it first aired on November 19, 2012, as the season 6 premiere. Lawsuits
<mask>'s family has filed several lawsuits against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for releasing her from jail even though, they claim, she was experiencing severe bipolar disorder at the time. In 2011, her parents, who had sued separately, were awarded $450,000 each. <mask>'s girlfriend, Tessa Moon, refutes claims that <mask> had any mental illness. <mask>'s family also asked the California Attorney General's office to review the sheriff's office's handling of the case.In November 2015, after reviewing 500 pages of documents sent with the request, the office of California then-Attorney General Kamala Harris replied that it had not found any grounds for criminal charges against the sheriff or his deputies. The Attorney General's office also found no evidence that the sheriff's office had mishandled <mask>'s family's complaint against it. However, in January 2016, the California Attorney General's office reversed itself and announced it was beginning a criminal investigation of the case. On December 30, 2016, the California Attorney General's office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support criminal prosecution of anyone involved in the handling of the case. See also

By 1958, <mask> was with singer Johnny Horton, making several appearances on the popular Louisiana Hayride radio show in Shreveport. He was an original member of Bill Black's Combo, which had several instrumental hits in the U.S. in 1959 and the early '60s, the most successful being "Smokie, Pts.1 & 2", "White Silver Sands," and an instrumental version of "Don't Be Cruel," released on Hi Records. Billboard Magazine listed the Combo as the No. 1 instrumental band three years in a row, 1960–1962. In February 1964, the Beatles requested that the Bill Black Combo open for them during their first U.S. tour. Subsequently, they invited the Combo over to England for another month-long tour. After the death of leader Bill Black (Elvis Presley's original bass player) in October 1965, <mask> concentrated on being a staff musician at Hi Studio in Memphis until 1967, winding up at American Sound Studio at the request of Chips Moman later that year. The Memphis Boys were responsible for around 120 hit singles, pop, country, rock, or soul, between 1967 and 1971.<mask> played on the January/February 1969 Elvis Presley sessions that included "Suspicious Minds", "Kentucky Rain", "Don't Cry Daddy", and "In the Ghetto".

Aleksandar "<mask><mask> (; born November 30, 1969) is a Serbian established painter, MMA fighter, singer, media personality and former criminal. After spending four and a half years in prison for activities related to drugs in Požarevac, he was released on January 9, 2009. From 2016 to 2020 he was imprisoned again for the same level of crime, serving time for his penalty in Zabela prison. On many occasions, <mask> claimed prison didn't help him nor did it save his life. Biography

Early life, 1980s
Born to Srboljub and Milanka <mask>, Serb gastarbeiters living in Munich, <mask> did not meet his father until primary school since he was away serving a long-term prison sentence for taking part in various criminal activities. His mother was a stewardess at JAT. His father was imprisoned in Goli Otok prison.<mask> moved to Belgrade, SR Serbia with his mother and sister in 1987, first settling in the Zvezdara neighbourhood and then moving to 50 Braće Jerković Street in Voždovac. Already no stranger to juvenile delinquent activity, the youngster continued along the same path with street fighting, often involving knives and guns. He first harmed a person with a knife near the "Beograđanka" building. He also started painting, mostly while under arrest. In December 1987, <mask> beat up a patron at a kafana in Boleč. In May 1989, he instigated a fist fight versus Slavko "Mija Pijuk" Mijović (Mija the Pickaxe), the godfather of notorious gangster Arkan) in front of Disco Luv in the Belgrade neighbourhood of Voždovac. Mija Pijuk's bodyguard Safet "Džimi" Buljuku began firing shots at <mask>, hitting him in the legs.In October 1989, <mask>ović club, leading to several shots being fired. 1990s
In the early morning hours of Sunday, February 25, 1990, <mask> was one of the perpetrators of an infamous act of violence in Belgrade's Hotel Mažestik. Along with his best friend at the time Dragan "Gagi" Nikolić, a heavily armed <mask> burst into the hotel's disco bar looking for a rival gangster. Since they didn't find him, 24-year-old Nikolić and 20-year-old <mask> shot up and ransacked the place, destroying it in the process before fleeing the scene. Since the hotel's disco bar was a favorite mobster hangout, the incident gained them notoriety with the authorities, considering that many prominent and powerful mob figures were present to witness the shooting of bottles and furniture. To escape prosecution in Serbia, <mask> went back to Germany, but soon found himself serving a three-year sentence in Düsseldorf on an armed robbery charge from a few years earlier. Due to being underage when the robbery was committed, he served the sentence in a juvenile prison.In 1993, German authorities extradited <mask> back to Serbia where he was wanted for a variety of criminal acts from the 1988–1990 period. He is well known for telling tall tales about people no longer here to defend themselves. He is a long time friend of Milorad Ulemek and has maintained relations with Arkan through him. The story Golobović claims is true, that Ulemek sent him to Erdut to the headquarters of the Serbian Volunteer Guard (Arkanovi Tigrovi), where he was asked to fight for them, but declined. Then he went as far as to say that Ražnatović asked <mask> to assassinate Serbian politician Vojislav Šešelj, but he refused. <mask> married Danijela Đukić and had a son Lazar with her while in Belgrade. On July 23, 1994, <mask> had an altercation with Milorad Majkić, owner of Casino Aleksandar at Čumićevo sokače.Majkić claimed <mask> tried to extort DM 10,000 from him. <mask> left Serbia for Greece to avoid prison. There he became the worker of a former Yugoslav group that worked in Athens. <mask> was featured in a 1996 documentary about Serbia's underworld called Vidimo se u čitulji that was filmed between 1994 and 1996. He is one of only a few individuals, out of dozens featured in the film, still alive today. 2000s
In 2002 he escaped from Korydallos Prison, where he was sentenced to 14 and a half years for stealing two BMW cars and an armed robbery. During his time in prison, he maintained a relationship with Arkan's daughter Anđela Ražnatović.<mask> said he wanted to marry her but the relationship was short. <mask> got arrested in Greece on December 25, 2002, on a Serbian arrest warrant because of the criminal citation stemming from the July 1994 incident with Milorad Majkić. The citation claimed <mask> slapped Majkić while trying to extort DM 10,000 from him. Following three and a half-month stay in detention, he got extradited to Serbia on April 16, 2003. At the first court date in May 2003, <mask> denied extorting Majkić but admitted slapping him. He was arrested in Operation Sablja, a crackdown on organized crime in Serbia following Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić's assassination, for being the leader of a criminal group that extorted €15,000 from a businessman from Sremska Mitrovica; the sentence was initially 6 years, but the case ended with 1 and a half-year. On the night of March 17, 2004, <mask> and famous Serbian turbo-folk singer Ceca Ražnatović (widow of the murdered Arkan) gathered protesters in front of the government building in Belgrade to rally against the situation in Kosovo where more than 36 Serbian Orthodox Churches had been burned the same day in an outbreak of Muslim Albanian violence against the Serb natives of the province.On December 12, 2005, <mask> got sentenced to six years of prison by the Special Court in Belgrade on illegal arms and racketeering charges of €3,000 and gold jewelry theft from the Arsić's, a married couple from Aranđelovac. The case was appealed and the sentence got reduced to four and a half years, which he served at Zabela prison in Požarevac. On January 9, 2009, he was released from the Zabela prison where he had spent four and a half years. He made a rap song together with Elitni odredi called Jack i Chivas (Jack Daniels and Chivas Regal). He was denied entry to Croatia in 2009 when he was going to fight in the Millenium Fighting Challenge MMA event held in Split, mayor Željko Kerum denied his entrance and police were ready to stop <mask>. "He has a history of crime and suspicious relations with the criminal world and is not welcomed to Split or Croatia, nor be a sport example." On January 16, 2010, <mask>, his mother and five other members of his criminal group were arrested in Belgrade on charges of narcotics trade in Novi Pazar and Belgrade starting in August 2009.He and his two companions were intercepted at a drug exchange of 25 grams of heroin when they exited Saint Mark's Church. He had the previous week been stopped by police who found 180 grams of marijuana in his Audi TT. His friend in the car claimed the marijuana was his and <mask> was held for 4 hours before being set free. The police then searched his home in Višnjica and found a gun and ammunition without a serial number, a Beretta was found in his mother's house. He was sentenced for narcotics trade, illegal arms and explosives possession. He allegedly tried suicide by hanging in his cell the days following the arrest.

It was held in Vienna against Agim Abdullahu.He lost the fight by TKO in the first round. After the fight, <mask> made statements on social media that it was rigged and unfair, claiming it was the referee's fault. On March 16, <mask> was sentenced to 4 years and 1 month in the Zabela prison. While in prison. On October 9, <mask> released another rap song called Moj Czas along with a fellow rapper from Poland called Brex. Popular culture

<mask><mask> (July 23, 1898 – March 23, 1973) was an American painter and illustrator who divided his career between Cincinnati and Chicago. He was known for his portraiture and landscapes of western United States. In the latter part of his career he focused on Biblical illustrations. Early life and education
<mask> was born in the Mount Auburn district of Cincinnati in 1898. He was one of five children of German immigrant and shoemaker <mask> and his wife Eleanor. He graduated from Cincinnati's Hughes High School in 1916 where he was named "Best Artist". <mask> began his art training at the Art Academy of Cincinnati in 1912 while a high school student and later while working part time at United States Printing and Lithograph Company in Norwood, Ohio.He studied under many famous Cincinnati artists such as Herman Wessel (1878–1969), James Roy Hopkins (1877–1969), Lewis Henry Meakin (1850–1917), Frank Duveneck (1848–1919) and Caroline Lord (1860–1927). In 1917 he and a group of young artists from the Art Academy of Cincinnati including Bill Bollman, <mask>, Carl Hasz, Arthur Helwig, John Holmer and Dick Sanders started a communal studio in downtown Cincinnati on the south side of Third Street, between Walnut and Main. They called it Russet Studio. In September 1918, <mask> travelled to Stearns, Kentucky with Art Academy of Cincinnati classmate Frank Harmon Myers for a sketching trip. Myers and <mask> later exhibited their work together at Traxel Galleries in Cincinnati and <mask> later exhibited his Kearns paintings in the eastern US, Chicago Art Institute and Cincinnati Art Museum. Professional career
He joined the Cincinnati Art Club in 1919. In 1921 he won second prize in the Chaloner Paris Scholarship competition of the National Academy Museum and School of New York City.He was a guest artist in 1921 and again in 1929 at the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation at Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. In 1923 he and fellow Art Academy of Cincinnati student, Arthur Helwig, travelled to the Estes Park, Colorado and the Rocky Mountain National Park where the pair focused on landscape painting for a summer. In the summer of 1924 he took a seven-week trip to California, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Rocky Mountains. In 1925 he set up a studio in Chicago where he received numerous commissions for portraiture work. In 1925, he won the Art Institute of Chicago's Peabody Prize for The Little Dancer. In the summer of 1927 he travelled to Glacier National Park and was joined for a few weeks by fellow Cincinnati painter, Matthew A. Daly. With his landscape paintings, <mask> revealed himself as a "colorist of distinction as well as an artist who can command a view of stupendous subjects."His paintings, "realistic to a degree, have a vividness that is almost startling." He travelled again to the West in 1928 with Cincinnati colleague, Wallace Hoess. During his visit he would make small paintings of scenes on the spot and take them back to his studio to paint over the winter. After living in Chicago for nearly 25 years as an illustrator, he returned to Cincinnati in 1951 and established a studio on Highland Avenue. During this time he did a significant body of work for Standard Publishing and Treasure Chest as an illustrator of Biblical books and publications, including Christmas Joy (1955), Prayer Time (1955), Precious Promises (1955) Word of Cheer (1955), Life and Customs in Jesus' Time (1957) and Favorite Psalms (1960). After returning to Cincinnati, <mask> filled his many illustration commissions, and also painted portraits, particularly of institutional and business leaders. His work had a decided illustrative quality.Using bright colors and a realistic technique, <mask>'s paintings reflected his great skill and experience as an illustrator. He served as president of the Professional Artists of Cincinnati in 1956-58 and president of the Cincinnati Art Club from 1965-1967. Exhibitions

"Mr. <mask> studied in the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and is now numbered among its most successful graduates. The present collection includes some of his most recent work.

Exhibited 34 paintings including Monastery Road, Fountain Square, The Red House and Brick Barges. 1924 Traxel Galleries
One man exhibition, 14–26 April. "There is something very sound about Mr. <mask>'s painting, and a definite feeling of good draftsmanship and understanding.His exhibition includes a variety of subject – landscapes, portraits, still life and figure studies. His landscapes were painted last summer at Estes Park, Colo., where he spent several months. One of the large landscapes, which he calls Entrance to Spruce Canyon, is perhaps the handsomest. It is a dramatic rendering of purple lights and brilliant sunshine. The warm rays of the sun, bursting through the clouds for just a moment, have turned everything to gold, and the cool, purple shadows of the trees and rocks give strong contrast. Near Estes Village, a smaller landscape that stands out in the group, is a sparkling rendering of sky and rich luminous mountains that have fine feeling of mass and distance. Of his four or five portraits, the one of a young man, Clarence is the finest.It is a good likeness, well drawn and painted surely and simply, with no struggle for effect, but depending solely on its fine draftsmanship and firm handling." 1924 Western College for Women
A collection of about 30 oils, water colors, and monotypes held in the Art Gallery.

title: Wilhelm Hasenclever

texts:
<mask> (19 April 1837, in Arnsberg, Westphalia Province – 3 July 1889, in Berlin-Schöneberg) was a German politician. He was originally a tanner by trade but later became a journalist and author. However, he is most known for his political work in the predecessors of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). In 1869 and 1870, Hasenclever was a representative for the General German Workers' Association (Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiterverein, ADAV) in the Reichstag (parliament) of the North German Confederation. From 1871 on, he was the last president of the ADAV, until it merged with the Social Democratic Workers' Party (Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei, SDAP) to form the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands, SAP). From 1874 to 1888 he was again a social democrat representative in the Reichstag of the German Empire that had been formed in 1871: Originally for the ADAV, later for the SAP. Hasenclever was member of the party board there as well.Together with <mask>necht, he also founded the party paper Vorwärts, the official newspaper of the SPD until the 1990s. Life and career

<mask>ver was the son of a self-employed tanner. The family had protestant roots and had migrated to the catholic Arnsberg. After visiting secondary school up to the "Sekunda" (equivalent to today's Mittlere Reife, a diploma of secondary education below the full-blown Abitur), he learned the tanning trade from his parents. In 1857/58 he was forced into a year of military service; in 1859, another period of military service with the Prussian army in Düsseldorf and Cologne followed. In between and afterwards, Hasenclever - like many artisans of the time - took to the road, taking on various short-term jobs and visiting most member states of the North German Confederation, Switzerland, northern Italy and southern France. His experiences, which made him aware of the problems of the proletariat, greatly influenced his later political stance.Early journalistic and political work

Through work in sports clubs, Hasenclever discovered his love of writing and holding speeches. In 1862/63 he became editor for the democratically oriented newspaper Westfälische Volkszeitung in Hagen. As a journalist, he became aware of the writings of the socialist Ferdinand Lassalle, in particular Lasalle's programme for the working class. This became the foundation of the first German social democrat party, with subgroups in most states of the Confederation: the General German Workers' Association (Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiterverein, ADAV), founded on 13 May 1863 in Leipzig and instigated by Lasalle. During the Second War of Schleswig Hasenclever was once again drafted into the Prussian army for a short time. Shortly after his release he was sentenced to six weeks in prison on grounds of Ehrfuhrchtsverletzung gegenüber Sr. Majestät (Lèse majesté against the Prussian king <mask> I) due to an article he had written for the Rheinische Zeitung. However, he was acquitted on appeal.After these experiences with the Prussian judicial system he joined the ADAV the same year - only a few months after Lasalle had died in a duel. Career in the ADAV, rivalry with the SDAP

In 1866 Hasenclever was elected secretary of the ADAV under association president <mask> Tölcke. From 1868 to 1870 he was responsible for the party's finances. At the same time, from 1867 to 1869, he ran the tannery in Halver that belonged to his sister. In 1869 Hasenclever became the representative for Duisburg in the Reichstag (parliament) of the North German Confederation, which had been founded in 1876 after Prussia had won the Austro-Prussian War against Austria. After the election he moved to Berlin. The other ADAV representatives were <mask> Fritzsche and the anti-Prussian, anti-Marxist Johann Baptist von Schweitzer, who had become president of the ADAV the same year.Also present in the Reichstag was the Social Democratic Workers' Party (Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei, SDAP), with <mask>necht and August Bebel. The party, which was revolutionary and Marxist, had been formed 1869 in Eisenach, Kingdom of Saxony, from the left wing of the Saxon People's Party (Sächsische Volkspartei). Contrary to the ADAV, the SAP followed a strict anti-Prussian line and worked towards "Großdeutsche" (greater German) unification including Austria and a federal structure, with the goal of constricting the hegemony of Prussia, which was considered reactionary and militaristic by the SAP. That was not only in conflict with the goals of the conservative Prussian president and chancellor of the North German Confederation, Otto von Bismarck, but also with Schweitzer, the controversial leader of the ADAV, who was closer to the chancellor in national matters than the more internationally-oriented SAP. After the end of his first Reichstag period Hasenclever took part in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. After the victory of the North German Confederation under Prussian leadership, the southern German states Baden, Württemberg and Bavaria joined the Confederation, forming the German Empire with the King of Prussia, <mask> I, as Kaiser (Emperor). So, the "Kleindeutsche" (smaller German) solution had been implemented.Bismarck became Reichskanzler and leader of the government that had been specified by the Emperor. Shortly afterwards, secret communication between the government and Schweitzer (who was known in the ADAV as an authoritarian, bordering on the dictatorial, leader) became known. Schweitzer stepped down as party leader and ended his political career. In 1871, Hasenclever was elected Schweitzer's successor as the president of the ADAV. In the following years, Bismarck tried to play SDAP and ADAV (both of which he regarded as "enemies of the Reich") against each other. The rivalry between the two parties made it easier for the government to harass worker's associations in the whole Reich with raids and searches. As newly elected president of the ADAV, Hasenclever began to give a new direction to the ADAV.That, combined with Bismarck's increasingly restrictive line, led to a party line closer to that of the SDAP. However both parties kept their priorities for the time being and criticized each other for it: reform (ADAV) versus revolution (SDAP), national influence of the worker's movement (ADAV) against proletarian internationalism (SDAP), working towards cooperatives (ADAV) versus working towards trade unions (SDAP). The two papers of the ADAV - Der Social-Demokrat ("The Social Democrat") and Der Agitator ("The Agitator"), both dominated by Schweitzer until he stepped down - now were merged into a new party publication called Der Neue Sozial-Demokrat ("The New Social Democrat"). Editors-in-chief were Hasenclever and his party friend and supporter <mask>. Additionally, Hasenclever was editor for the magazine Sozial-politische Blätter ("Socio-Political Papers") and, from 1873 onwards, publisher of the special edition Sozialpolitische Blätter zur Unterhaltung und Belehrung der deutschen Arbeiter ("Socio-Political Papers for the Entertainment and Education of the German Workers"). Under Hasenclever's leadership the ADAV grew from 5300 (1871) to more than 19000 (1873/74) members. Der Neue Sozial-Demokrat had more than 11000 subscribers.For his publications, Hasenclever got multiple criminal sentences, up to one to three months of prison, for crimes such as "publicly encouraging criminal acts", "libel" and "membership in a closed society". Fusion of the ADAV and the SDAP  - the SAP

After a hiatus of four years, Hasenclever was once again elected to the Reichstag (which had become the Reichstag of the German Empire), this time representing Altona. Since then, the positions of the ADAV and the SDAP increasingly converged. On a joint party meeting on 5 May 1875 in Gotha, the two parties finally merged, forming the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands, SAP). Hasenclever and <mask>knecht, the leaders of the two parties, had struck a compromise that was written down in the Gotha programme (Gothaer Programm) of the SAP. It included toning down the revolutionary goals of the SDAP to work within legal bounds:

Additionally, these goals should be reached primarily on a national level, which weakened the internationalist aspect of social democrat politics. The party programme was also much more insistent on furthering cooperative economics than the previous programme of the SDAP.While the Marxist goals of Liebknecht were not gone entirely, Karl Marx himself criticized the more reform-oriented compromise in his Kritik des Gothaer Programms ("Critique of the Gotha Programme") from his exile in London. Hasenclever was on the board of the new SAP in 1975/76 together with Liebknecht and August Bebel. Together with Liebknecht, he founded the new central party publication

 Vorwärts ("Forward") 1876 in Leipzig. The first issue was published on 1 October 1876. Vorwärts is still the official publication of the SAP's successor party, the SPD. The same year, Hasenclever moved to Hamburg and founded the Hamburg-Altonaer Volksblatt ("Hamburg-Altona People's Paper") . Additionally, he published a satirical worker's newspaper in Leipzig.Work in the Reichstag and the anti-socialist laws
Because of the steady increase of support for the social democrats Bismarck tried to suppress the party and related associations more firmly. Two assassination attempts on <mask> I in May and June 1878 gave him the opportunity to act. Even though he knew the contrary was true, he accused the SAP of commissioning the assassins. After a majority decision of the Conservative and the National Liberal  representatives of the Reichstag Bismarck submitted the Gesetz gegen die gemeingefährlichen Bestrebungen der Sozialdemokratie ("Law against the highly dangerous endeavors of Social Democracy", known today as the Sozialistengesetze in German and "Anti-Socialist Laws" in English) for the Kaiser to sign. It prohibited all activities, meetings and publications of the SAP outside of the Reichstag and the Landtage (state parliaments). It went into effect on 22 October 1878 and was rescinded in 1890 - one year after Hasenclever's death and shortly after Bismarck had been relieved of his post as chancellor by the new <mask> II. The Vorwärts was prohibited in this time as well.Der Sozialdemokrat was one of the few party papers that were distributed illegally in the Reich. It was printed in Zurich since 1880, and in London from 1887. Many Social Democrats were forced to emigrate to neighboring countries, others were jailed for breaching the anti-socialist laws or were expelled from the towns they were living in as "agitators". When the government declared the so-called Kleiner Belagerungszustand (small state of siege) on several cities that were Social Democrat strongholds, these sanctions further increased. Hasenclever, Liebknecht, Bebel and other SAP party members kept their seats in the Reichstag and continued to oppose Bismarck's politics and the parties that supported him. However, they were not allowed to publicly represent Social Democracy within the Reich's borders outside the Reichstag. Even though these heavy sanctions, their seats were confirmed in the next Reichstag elections, in which the SAP continued to gain additional votes.Against Bismarck's intentions, the anti-socialist laws had led to a surge of solidarity in the working class that politicized the workers and moved them closer to the party. Between 1881 and 1890 the number of Reichstag votes for the SAP rose from 312000 in 1881 to more than 1.4 Million in 1890, an increase of more than 450%. That made the SAP the party with the highest number of votes in the Reich. The new Sozialgesetzgebung (social laws) of the chancellor, which created the basis for a system of social security, failed to stop that trend. Like many socialists, Hasenclever was active with the trade unions during the anti-socialist laws, independent of his party membership. For example, after 1878 he co-founded the Berliner Arbeiterbund ("Berlin Worker's Association"). His publications were partially written under a pen name.Even though he had a seat in the Reichstag, he was forced to change his German place of residence multiple times by the Kleiner Belagerungszustand, since he was expelled from Leipzig in 1881 and from Berlin in 1884. He lived as a self-employed writer in Wurzen, Halle and Dessau. Because he was mostly unable to finance his political work by himself, he had to rely on support by his wife Clara, which owned a cigar trade in Berlin. Illness and death

In the late 1880s Hasenclever increasingly suffered from a neurological and psychiatrical condition that was not specifically diagnosed at the time. This made his political work harder and harder, and in the end impossible. In 1888 he stepped down from the Reichstag, after he had collapsed during the Geheimbund-Prozess ("secret society trial") in Düsseldorf. He tried to regain his health in the Maison de la santé (French for "house of health"), a sanatorium in Schöneberg south of Berlin.There he died, reliant on support by staff and mentally incapable, on 3 July 1889, aged 52. He did not experience the end of the anti-socialist laws and the renaming of the SAP to Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, SPD) a year later. He was buried on the Friedhof der freireligiösen Gemeinde Berlins ("Cemetery of the independently religious community of Berlin") on Prenzlauer Berg in Pankow. About 15000 workers attended the funeral. A year later, in 1890, party members of the SPD collected money for a memorial there. Its inscription is "Dem alten Kämpfer für Wahrheit, Freiheit und Recht" ("To the old fighter for truth, freedom and justice"). Today, the Wilhelm-Hasenclever-Platz, a square in Berlin-Wedding which features another memorial plaque, is named in his honor.Also, a street in Treptow is named after him. In 1987, <mask>'s house of birth in Arnsberg was fitted with a memorial plaque as well. Work as a writer
Hasenclever's work as a writer went beyond the numerous publications in newspapers and magazines, many of which he had founded himself. He wrote various treatises on sociopolitical problems of the time, but also novellas, poems and songs, in which he addressed the cause of the workers in emotionally and full of pathos. The roots of his poems were the political poems of the Vormärz and were intended to be more political than artistical. In day-to-day politics, however, Hasenclever was regarded as more moderate than other leading Socialists of the time. Inside the party, one of his most controversial works was the treatise "Der Wahrheit die Ehre.Ein Beitrag zur Judenfrage in Deutschland" ("Truth Honored. A Submission on the Question of Jews in Germany"), which he had published in 1881 under the pen name "<mask>". In it, Hasenclever addressed the racist-antisemitic position of Adolf Stoecker, who had founded the  Christian Social Party (Christlich-soziale Partei) to promote an anti-Semitic agenda politically. However, by criticizing this "movement", which tried to attract and subvert the social democrat voters (with limited success), Hasenclever touched upon the anti-Semitic ressentiments in the worker's movement and showed understanding for their anti-capitalist and anti-intellectual motivations. So, he showed his own latent antisemitical bias, which led to criticism by other leading party members, who saw it as a threat to the official party line of emancipation and assimilation of Jews.

<mask> (March 31, 1828 – January 12, 1911) was a northern Virginia planter who became an officer in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, and afterward served in the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868 representing Loudoun County. Early and family life
<mask> was the third son of <mask> (1789-1853) and Frances Callendar Noland (1797-1855). He was born near Aldie in Loudoun County, although his father soon built Evergreen manor in nearby Prince William County. He was named after the Virginia governor known as Lord Botetourt, although not a descendant. His siblings were <mask> (1824-1915), <mask> (1826-1907), <mask> (a/k/a Molly; 1830-1897; who married Richard Smith Cox, son of the Georgetown's mayor) and <mask> (1833-1871). After studies at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia, this <mask> entered the Virginia Military Institute and graduated in 1848. He had three brothers who also later graduated from VMI, and who served under him during the Civil War in what was sometimes known as the "Berkeley Regiment".He owned a farm "Stoke" in Loudoun County given to him by his father when he reached age 25, and $20,000 in personal property (including 20 slaves) in 1860. <mask> <mask> admitted in his postwar pardon application that he inherited slaves from his father. In 1849 <mask> married Lavinia <mask> (daughter of a distant cousin, Dr. <mask> and granddaughter of Dr. Carter Burwell <mask>). They had four sons who survived their father: Edmund Spottswood <mask> (b. 1859, who later moved to Van Vleck, Texas), <mask> <mask>. (b. 1861, who moved to Pendleton, Oregon), Charles Carter <mask> (who moved to Seattle, Washington), and William Noland <mask> (b. 1867, who moved to Annapolis, Maryland).Confederate service

Before Virginia seceded from the Union in early 1861, <mask> had been training with a local militia company in Loudoun County. Local Commonwealth's attorney Charles Tebbs had organized the unit, but had problems in maintaining discipline, relying on this <mask> for that function. <mask> <mask> received a commission as major in the unit, which was part of Eppa Hunton's 8th Virginia Infantry. Three of <mask>'s younger brothers also joined, and <mask> convinced her husband to join the Confederate cause and moved their family as well to Aldie, although the many related <mask> families (with their enslaved servants but without their officer fathers/husbands) would move to Hanover, Caroline and Goochland counties during the war. After Tebbs left for desk duty in Richmond, the men of the 8th Virginia elected <mask> <mask> their Lt. Colonel on April 27, 1862. He was promoted to colonel on August 9, 1863 on account of his actions at the Battle of Gettysburg, where he was wounded in the leg and taken prisoner, as were his younger brothers William Noland <mask> and <mask> (his brother Edmund was wounded but not captured).<mask> <mask> was taken to the Point Lookout Prison hospital in Maryland in October 1863. In February 1864 he was moved to Johnson's Island in Ohio, from which he was exchanged for a Union prisoner on March 18, 1864 (as were his younger brothers earlier the same month). However, by October 1864 <mask> <mask> was hospitalized in the Chester hospital. He allegedly received a brevet promotion to brigadier general. He was present at the Howlett Line on January 28, 1865, but resigned on March 2, 1865 due to chronic rheumatism and spent the next weeks in a Richmond hospital. He was paroled on April 24, 1865. Postwar career

After the war, <mask> <mask> returned to Loudoun County, but soon sold his primary plantation, Stoke, to his brother-in-law, pardoned Confederate paymaster Richard Cox, in part to pay off debts, although Cox also had financial problems and would lose both his Georgetown house and Stoke to foreclosure by 1876.Loudoun County voters narrowly (by 100 votes) elected <mask> <mask> and fellow former Confederate and P.O.W. Dr. George E. Plaster (of the 6th Virginia Cavalry) to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868, over William Williams of Waterford and former Union captain John G. Viall. However, in the next election, <mask> failed to win election as county treasurer, perhaps because of his well-known financial problems. He lost to a Republican running as an independent. Thus, the Conservative party did not sweep Loudoun offices in that election. This <mask> ceased overt political involvement, although he lived at various <mask> family properties in northern Virginia and would briefly teach at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. Death and legacy

<mask> <mask> died at his brother's Evergreen manor house in Haymarket, Virginia on January 19, 1911.He is buried in the cemetery of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Haymarket. On February 24, 2001 at Mt. Atlas mansion in Haymarket, the Prince William County Historical Commission discovered an undated, postwar manuscript that this <mask> <mask> prepared which concerns the First Battle of Manassas. <mask> <mask>'s prewar manor house, Stoke, still exists today near Aldie, Virginia, and was placed on the Virginia Landmarks register and on the National Register of Historic places in 2015, in part because of its association with him, but mainly for association with prize-winning horticulturalist Eleanor Truax Harris (1868-1937), whose second husband Col. Floyd Harris extensively remodeled the house. Eleanor Truax Harris operated "Berkeley Gardens" early in the 20th century, which used local labor and provided cut flowers for the Washington D.C. market even during the Great Depression. Two other Virginia legal graduates named <mask> <mask> have some historical significance, but are related to Lord Botetourt rather than this Col. <mask> <mask>. <mask> <mask> (1918-1964) was a lawyer and business executive born in Danville, Virginia who became vice-president of Bethlehem Steel in Pennsylvania and who donated his papers to the University of Virginia.His son <mask> <mask>. (1922-2011) also graduated from the University of Virginia Law School and became President of Chemical Bank (later part of J.P. Morgan Chase). Notes

title: Mark Dantonio

texts:
<mask> (born March 9, 1956) is a former American football coach and player. He most recently served as the head football coach at Michigan State University, a position he had held from 2007 to 2019, presiding over one of the most successful eras in the program's history. He led the Michigan State Spartans to three Big Ten Conference championships, and eight victories over archrival Michigan in 13 years. In 2013, he coached Michigan State to its first 13-win season and the program's fifth trip to the Rose Bowl, where they defeated Stanford and finished the season ranked No. 3 in the nation. This was the second time a Big Ten team reached the 13-win mark, the previous being Ohio State's national championship season in 2002, where <mask> was the defensive coordinator. The 2013 season also marked the first time a Big Ten team won nine conference games each by double digits.In 2015, <mask> became the first head coach in Big Ten history to achieve at least 11 wins in five of six seasons. On December 6, 2015, <mask>'s Spartans qualified for the College Football Playoff for the first time in the program's history. In 2006, <mask> was hired as the Spartans head coach, returning to the school where he served six years as an assistant coach under Nick Saban and Bobby Williams. Known as a defensive-minded coach, Dantonio led the Spartans to the school's first bowl game win since 2001, in the 2012 Outback Bowl, and the school's first Rose Bowl since 1988 in 2014. <mask>'s Spartans hold the active school record with four consecutive bowl wins. On October 8, 2011, Dantonio signed a contract extension that made him a "Spartan for life." In 2014, he earned the second highest salary among college football coaches, due largely to a retention bonus.On September 21, 2019, with his 110th victory, Dantonio became the winningest head coach in MSU football surpassing Duffy Daugherty. Dantonio had compiled a 110–52 record through this date at Michigan State, giving him a .691 winning percentage, the highest of any Michigan State football coach since Clarence Munn, who coached the Spartans from 1947 to 1953. On February 4, 2020, Dantonio announced he would be retiring as the head coach of the Michigan State football team after 13 seasons and 114 wins. Early life
<mask> was born in El Paso, Texas, to <mask> and Maryan (née Sonsalla) Dantonio. <mask> is of Italian descent. Dantonio's Grandfather Frank D'antonio moved from Montenerodomo, Italy, to the United States - losing the apostrophe at Ellis Island – in 1912. His father played basketball at Salem University and met his mother while teaching in El Paso.<mask> was the second of four boys. When <mask> was one, the family moved to Zanesville, Ohio, where Justin became the vice principal and basketball coach at Zanesville High School. <mask> was an all-state safety at Zanesville. College career
<mask> attended the University of South Carolina and earned three letters as a defensive back for Coach Jim Carlen for the Gamecocks 1976-78. He earned a bachelor's degree in education from South Carolina in 1979. <mask> later earned a master's degree in education from Ohio University in 1980. Coaching career

Early coaching career
Dantonio began his coaching career at Ohio University, where he was a graduate assistant.In 1981, he made his first stop in the Big Ten Conference when he moved on to Purdue University as a graduate assistant. He spent two years, in 1983 and 1984, as a graduate assistant at Ohio State University  under head coach Earle Bruce. In 1986, he began a five-year stint on Jim Tressel's staff at Youngstown State University as a defensive secondary coach. In 1990, Dantonio led the Penguins' defense to an 11–0 record and a #2 ranking nationally. Glen Mason hired Dantonio in 1991 to be the defensive secondary coach for the Kansas Jayhawks. When Nick Saban was hired at Michigan State in 1995, he hired Dantonio to join his staff in East Lansing where he remained even after Saban left for LSU. After Bobby Williams was named head coach in 1999 following Saban's departure, Dantonio was promoted to associate head coach where he remained through the 2000 season.At Ohio State in 2001, Dantonio reunited with his former Youngstown State boss and good friend Jim Tressel when he opted out of East Lansing to serve as defensive coordinator at Ohio State University for three seasons. His defense became known as one of the stingiest in the country. During the Buckeyes' 2002 National Championship season, Ohio State ranked second nationally in scoring defense and third in rushing defense. For his efforts, Dantonio was named a 2002 finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top college football assistant coach. In the 2003 season, his defense ranked number one in the country in rushing defense and ninth in total defense, which led the Buckeyes to an 11–2 record and #4 national ranking. Six Buckeye defenders were named first team All-Big Ten during Dantonio's tenure. Thirteen were drafted into the NFL, including two first round picks in Chris Gamble and Will Smith.Cincinnati (2004–2006)
<mask> was named head coach at Cincinnati on December 23, 2003. He became the first head coach in 23 years to lead the school to a winning season in his first season at UC. The Bearcats' 7–5 record included a 5–3 record in Conference USA, which was good enough for a second-place finish. The Bearcats finished the season on a winning note with a 32–14 win over Marshall in the PlainsCapital Fort Worth Bowl. During <mask>'s time at UC, he led the Bearcats to a bowl game victory and directed the team's transition into the Big East Conference. As head coach, Dantonio had 15 players earn all-conference honors and 25 received conference academic recognition. Michigan State (2007–2020)
<mask> became the 24th head coach at Michigan State on November 27, 2006.Upon his arrival, Dantonio planned to return the Spartans to a more traditional philosophy on offense and defense, eliminating the spread offense and the "bandit" linebacker/safety position used under previous head coach John L. Smith. 2007 season
Dantonio began his Michigan State career well at Spartan Stadium when on April 21, 2007, Michigan State drew over 25,000 fans to watch the team's spring scrimmage game. The white team, led by sophomore quarterback Connor Dixon, defeated junior quarterback Brian Hoyer and the green team by a score of 21–8. During the game, Dantonio was seen behind the line of scrimmage watching and coaching the action. Dantonio won his first game at Michigan State on September 1, 2007, when the Spartans defeated the UAB Blazers, 55–18. His first season at Michigan State was the school's most successful since 2003. <mask>'s Spartans went 7–5, losing all five games by seven points or fewer, and were bowl eligible for the first time in four years.However, the Spartans lost to Boston College in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando on December 28. 2008 season
<mask>'s second season at MSU began with a loss at Cal, after which the Spartans came home and won six straight games against Eastern Michigan, Florida Atlantic, Notre Dame, Indiana, Iowa, and Northwestern. The victories propelled Michigan State into the top 25. Following a lopsided 45–7 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Spartans beat Michigan, 35–21, winning in Ann Arbor for the first time since 1990. Michigan State won its final two home games against Wisconsin and Purdue before losing to Penn State in Happy Valley. A win against Penn State would have resulted in Michigan State splitting the Big Ten Conference title with Ohio State. The nine regular season wins were Michigan State's most since 1999.Michigan State finished third in the conference and was invited to play Georgia in the Capital One Bowl. Michigan State lost the game, 24–12, finishing the season 9–4. 2009 season
<mask>'s third season, 2009, was disappointing in performance and off-the-field issues. The team lost five games (Central Michigan, at Notre Dame, Iowa, at Minnesota, Texas Tech) in which they held the lead in the fourth quarter, leading to a disappointing 6–7 record. 2010 season
On September 19, 2010, just hours after a stunning fake field goal touchdown pass gave MSU a 34–31 overtime victory over Notre Dame, Dantonio checked himself into a hospital after noticing chest pains. He later suffered a heart attack. He had a stent implanted in a blocked artery near his heart.His doctor stated that the damage was minimal and that Dantonio was expected to make a full recovery. Offensive coordinator Don Treadwell became acting head coach while Dantonio recovered. On September 30, after Dantonio had stated that he would be coaching the next game from the press box and just two days before Michigan State played Wisconsin, Dantonio was admitted back into the hospital as a blood clot was found in his leg. Dantonio had to watch the game from his hospital room. He was reportedly released from Sparrow Hospital around noon on October 4, 2010. On October 9, Dantonio coached his first game since his heart attack against rival Michigan. Michigan State won the game, 34–17, in Ann Arbor.The Spartans under <mask> continued to win and on November 20 reached 10–1 on the season, winning all home games for the first time during his tenure. It was just the third time in school history that Michigan State had won 10 or more games in a season, the other two seasons being those of 1965 and 1999. On November 27, 2010, <mask>'s Spartans defeated Penn State 28–22 in Happy Valley to finish the season 11–1 and clinch a share of the Big Ten Championship for the first time since 1990. On December 5, 2010, MSU announced that the Spartans

 were selected to play in the Capital One Bowl on January 1, 2011, against Alabama (ranked 15th in the BCS standings). The Spartans lost to the Crimson Tide 49–7 and finished 11–2. 2011 season
In 2011, Michigan State had another successful year. The Spartans beat the Ohio State Buckeyes on the road for the first time since 1998, defeated arch-rival Michigan, and upset #6 Wisconsin on a last-second Hail Mary pass from Kirk Cousins to Keith Nichol.The Spartans finished 10–2 (7–1 in Big Ten play), earning the Legends Division championship and a place in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game. After coming up just short in a rematch with Wisconsin, MSU was selected to play in the Outback Bowl against the Georgia Bulldogs. <mask> led his team to a triple-overtime victory, his first bowl win at MSU. The Spartans reached the 11-win mark for the second straight season, finishing 11–3. 2012 season
In 2012, <mask> led the Spartans to a 7–6 record and a Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl win against Texas Christian University. The season started with promise, when preseason #13 Michigan State beat #24 Boise State; but two games later, the #10 Spartans lost to No. 20 Notre Dame, and went on to suffer four home losses in Big Ten play.The defense finished ninth in FBS points allowed, giving up just 16.3 points per game, but the offense struggled to score in several games. MSU lost a 12–10 decision to Michigan, despite the defense keeping the Wolverines out of the end zone the entire game. In May 2013, four months after the end of the 2012 season, <mask> filmed himself at the Rose Bowl, predicting a successful 2013. 2013 season
In 2013, <mask>'s team finished 11–1 in the regular season, including notable victories over Michigan (29–6) and Nebraska (41–28) to secure the third and final Legends Division title. On December 7, 2013, Michigan State, ranked #10 at the time of the game, defeated second-ranked Ohio State 34–24 in the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis. The win snapped Ohio State's 24-game winning streak and sent Michigan State to its first Rose Bowl since the 1987–88 season. Michigan State was ranked #4 in the final BCS standings, its highest rank since the BCS's inception.The Spartans defeated the fifth-ranked Stanford Cardinal 24–20 in the 100th Rose Bowl Game on January 1, 2014. <mask> was named Big Ten Football Coach of the Year. 2014 season
In 2014, the Spartans finished the regular season 10–2, finishing second in the East division with a 7–1 record and ranked #8 in the nation. After losing to third-ranked Oregon in the season's second game, the Spartans reeled off nine wins in their next 10 games. The Spartans earned a bid to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, part of the New Year's Six bowls, and rallied from 20 points down in the fourth quarter to defeat fifth-ranked Baylor 42–41 and finish the season with an overall record of 11–2. The two losses came against Oregon and Ohio State, the teams that would play in the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship. After the Cotton Bowl game, Dantonio said "It's a feeling of belief in each other, and that's what we have.We don't give up on each other. Consequently, they don't give up in the game. We just keep playing hard. And that's what we've been able to accomplish." 2015 season
The 2015 season included an unlikely 17–14 road win against then-#2 Ohio State, in which the Spartans played without starting quarterback Connor Cook. With the game tied at 14 in the final seconds, Michael Geiger kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired. This season was also known for its game-changing touchdown following a botched punt on the final play of the Michigan game, giving MSU a shocking 27–23 victory.MSU also defeated Oregon and Penn State to finish the regular season with an 11–1 record, winning the East division with a 7–1 record. Michigan State went on to beat an undefeated Iowa team in the Big Ten Championship Game, and ended the season ranked #3 in the nation. The #3 ranking earned the Spartans a spot in the NCAA College Football Playoff and the right to play #2 ranked Alabama on New Year's Eve for a spot in the Championship game. They lost to eventual National Champion Alabama in the semi-final game (Cotton Bowl), 38–0. 2015 capped a six year stretch in which Michigan State went 65-16, the zenith of <mask>'s tenure. 2016 season
