In 2002 with the Nittany Lions, <mask> shifted around the offensive set from quarterback to running back, slot back, and split end to utilize his talents. He showed great running ability and helped spark the diversified Penn State offense. He started at tailback against Michigan and at slot back against Auburn in the Capital One Bowl. <mask> was Penn State's second leading rusher in 2002 with 263 yards and six touchdowns on 50 carries. He caught nine passes for 44 yards.

His 806 rushing yards set a school season-record for quarterbacks and he became the first quarterback in Penn State history to run for at least ten touchdowns in a season. His 28 touchdowns (17 passing, 11 rushing) was one shy of the school season-record of 29 (26 rushing, 3 catching) by Lydell Mitchell in 1971. <mask> also became the first Nittany Lion to throw three touchdown passes in three separate games during the same season since Todd Blackledge in 1982.<mask> captained the 2005 team, one of Penn State's most competitive teams in years, winning the Big Ten championship and the Orange Bowl over the Florida State Seminoles in a gut-wrenching triple-overtime victory. He finished fifth in Heisman voting. Statistics

Professional career

San Francisco 49ers
<mask> was drafted in the 4th round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers converted him into a running back. 49ers head coach Mike Nolan was immediately impressed with <mask>'s attitude and toughness during training camp. After a solid preseason, <mask> rose up to the number two running back position behind Frank Gore on the depth chart. After <mask> scored his first and second career touchdowns against the Philadelphia Eagles and veteran pro-bowl safety Brian Dawkins for one of them, knocking Dawkins out of the game, in week 3, Mike Nolan indicated that he intended to use <mask> more often in goal line situations.Despite Nolan's statement, <mask>'s playing time actually would decrease over the course of the season, and he did not score another touchdown. He finished the year with 38 carries for 116 yards, 9 receptions for 47 yards, and 2 touchdowns. On February 28, 2008 the 49ers gave <mask> a three-year contract extension.

title: John Matthias (poet)

texts:
<mask><mask> is an American poet living in South Bend, Indiana and an emeritus faculty member at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of more than fourteen books of poetry and is the subject of two scholarly books. <mask> served as the co-editor of an international literary journal, Notre Dame Review, for twenty years. Biography
<mask>, an American author, poet, literary scholar, was born in Columbus, Ohio. While  still in high school, he studied with <mask> at a summer writing conference at the University of Utah in 1959 and kept in touch with Berryman for the rest of the latter's life. <mask> attended the Ohio State University and Stanford University. While in graduate school at Stanford he studied under the poet and critic Yvor Winters but did not conform to Winters's anti-modernist position.In fact, <mask> became deeply interested in modernism, especially British modernism. His interest in British modernism was informed by many years of residence in England, editing the anthology 23 Modern British Poets, published in 1970. His peers at Stanford included two future poets laureate of the United States, Robert Hass and Robert Pinsky, as well as the poets Ken Fields, James L. McMichael, and <mask>. When he left Stanford in 1966, he spent a year in London as a Fulbright Scholar where he met Diana C. J. Adams (Feb. 5, 1945 - Nov. 26, 2020), and married her a year later. Diana's distinguished family includes several artists and writers, including her brother-in-law Wayland Young (Lord Kennet), the sculptor Emily Young, and the novelist Louisa Young. Many of <mask>'s poems deal with this family. In 1976 <mask> became a Visiting Fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge, and has since 1977 been a Life Member.Although his main academic job has been at the University of Notre Dame, he has spent much of his professional life in Britain, where he did major scholarly work on the Anglo-Welsh poet and painter David Jones, editing both the poetry and essays on Jones's work for Faber and Faber, the National Poetry Foundation, and University of Wales Press. <mask>'s own family comes from the world of Ohio politics. His father, <mask><mask>, was a justice of the Ohio Supreme Court who followed his own father, Edward S<mask>, on the high court bench. His mother, Lois Kirkpatrick <mask>, taught elementary school at the Ohio State University lab school where <mask> himself was a pupil from first grade to senior high school. There he met several contemporaries who became life-long friends, especially Joel Barkan, a scholar of African and American politics, who appears in his poems and in his novel, Different Kinds of Music. At Notre Dame, <mask> initially taught courses in modern literature but, once an MFA program was established at the university, he taught more and more classes in creative writing. Many of his students have gone on to produce distinguished books.<mask> was for twenty years co-editor, with William O’Rourke, of the Notre Dame Review, an international literary journal, and he continues on the magazine as Editor at Large. <mask> also selected books for the Ernest Sandeen Poetry Prize for the University of Notre Dame Press. The prize is named for the Swedish-American poet who first hired him at Notre Dame. During his early years at Notre Dame, <mask> was closely associated with poets Peter Michelson and, in Chicago, Michael Anania, who was his first editor at Swallow Press. <mask> has collaborated for more than forty years with the Notre Dame artist Douglas Kinsey, who illustrated several of his books and provided monotypes for their jackets. More recently, he has collaborated with printmaker Jean Dibble on a sequence of poster poems called “The HIJ.” A third Notre Dame collaboration was with the Serbian mathematician and poet Vladeta Vučković on a translation of the epic fragments known collectively as The Battle of Kosovo (1999). Eventually, <mask> found better reception from publishers in England than in America, and began publishing his books with Anvil Press, Salt, and, most recently, Shearsman.During much of his time in Britain, <mask> led basically a non-academic, even an anti-academic life, living for the most part at his wife's house in the small village of Hacheston, Suffolk. There he entertained many literary friends, almost all of them outside the British establishment. These years also included periods of collaboration with his Swedish colleagues Göran Printz-Påhlson and Lars-Håkan Svensson on translations of Swedish Poetry, including the anthology Contemporary Swedish Poetry (1980) and the selected poems of Jesper Svenbro, Three-Toed Gull (2003). <mask>'s own poems have been translated into many languages, with book-length selections appearing in Swedish and Italian. With Richard Burns, he was a member of the small group that founded the Cambridge Poetry Festival in 1973. <mask>, now Professor Emeritus, lives mainly in South Bend, Indiana. Major scholarly works on <mask>'s poetry include the books Word Play Place: Essays on the Poetry of <mask> (1998), edited by Robert Archambeau and The Salt Companion to <mask> (2011), edited by Joe Francis Doerr.There is a substantial chapter on <mask>'s poetry in Archambeau's study Laureates and Heretics (University of Notre Dame Press, 2010). Major essays appear in books by Gerald Bruns (What Are Poets For? ), Mark Scroggins (Intricate Thicket), and Sally Connolly (Grief and Meter: Elegies for Poets after Auden). In 2004 an issue of Samizdat (poetry magazine) was devoted to commentary on his work. Bibliography

title: Robert Saundby

texts:
Air Marshal <mask>,  (26 April 1896 – 26 September 1971) was a senior Royal Air Force officer whose career spanned both the First and Second World Wars. He distinguished himself by gaining five victories during the First World War, and was present during the air battle when Lanoe Hawker was shot down and killed by Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron". He is chiefly remembered for his role as Deputy Air Officer Commanding-on-Chief Bomber Command under Sir Arthur Harris during the latter part of the Second World War. Early life
<mask> was born on 26 April 1896 at 83A Edmund Street in Birmingham. He was the son of Professor <mask> FRCP and <mask> ( Spencer). Educated at King Edward VI School, Saundby left in 1913 and joined the Traffic Department of the London and North Western Railway. First World War
Saundby began the First World War serving in the British Army.On 15 June 1914 he was commissioned into the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, Territorial Force. An attack of cerebrospinal meningitis in February 1915 saw <mask> out of action for 8 months. It was not until 11 October that he was passed fit and on 23 October he applied to the Royal Flying Corps. It was January 1916 when <mask> was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps. <mask>'s flying career began at Thetford in Norfolk as part of No. 12 Reserve Squadron on 28 February 1916. He flew solo just over a month later on 31 March and gained further experience flying with the squadron at Dover.<mask> then attended the Central Flying School (CFS) at Upavon. He saw further service with No. 40 Squadron at Gosport. Of his experiences in this period, <mask> wrote -

<mask> became a qualified pilot and joined Britain's first single-seater fighter squadron, No. 24 Squadron RFC, in its original complement under famous Major Lanoe Hawker, flying the Airco DH2 on the Western Front. His initial successes began on 31 July 1916; he drove down a Fokker Eindekker out of control, and was slightly wounded in the process. On 17 November 1916 <mask>'s brother, Second Lieutenant William Spencer Fitz-<mask>, also of the Royal Flying Corp, was killed in action at 19 years of age.It was initially hoped he had been made a prisoner of war following a forced landing but it turned out not to be the case. He is remembered on the Arras Flying Services Memorial. <mask> transferred from No. 24 Squadron to No. 41 Squadron on 26 January 1917. On 4 March, while flying FE.8 Serial No. 6431, he shared a victory over an Albatros.Following this win, he transferred to Home Defence in Britain. He had shot down 9 aircraft over the Western Front by this point. On 13 April 1917 <mask> was at Orford Ness RFC Experimental Station, England. On 17 June 1917 he was flying one of three aircraft, one of 37 Squadron RFC and two others from the Experimental Station that intercepted the Zeppelin L48 after she got lost trying to bomb London. As a result of their attacks, L48 crashed near Theberton. The victory was shared among the three air crews. <mask> not only became an ace with this win, he was awarded the Military Cross.One of only two German survivors of the engagement, Otto Mieth, died in Iringa, Tanganyika in 1956. He had lived there since 1928 and had his own construction company. In the preface to <mask>'s book Flying Colours (1919),  Major General E. B. Ashmore wrote that <mask> was "one of a very gallant band of pilots who fought under the late Major Lanoe Hawker VC DSO during the Somme offensive of 1916." Interwar period
In 1919 <mask> received a permanent commission into the Royal Air Force (RAF). This period also saw him taking the sea plane course at Lee-on-Solent, studying at the RAF and Naval Cooperation School at Calshot and being awarded the Air Force Cross. Between 1919 and 1925, <mask> moved slowly through the ranks of the newly formed RAF, while gaining experience of command. Between 1922 and 1925 he served as a Flight Commander in No.45 Squadron, based at Almaza, Cairo. Flying the Vickers Vernon transport aircraft. He flew as co-pilot for the then Squadron Leader Arthur Harris, when the latter developed a locally improvised bombing capability for the Vernon. April 1922 was Saundby's first flight to Baghdad. In February, March, November and December 1923 he participated in bombing operations. This was a policy known as 'aerial policing'. He moved on to become an instructor in Egypt with No.4 Flying Training School at Abu Sueir, Egypt. This however only lasted for two months when he was given command of the Aden Flight. This was due to a sudden illness affecting the sitting commander. Saudby initially disliked the posting but grew to appreciate the experience. It proved to be the only command of his career. <mask>'s move towards the upper command ranks of the RAF was initiated when he joined No. 58 Squadron as a Flight Commander on 15 October 1926.With the squadron he flew the Vickers Virginia and Vickers Victoria aircraft at RAF Worthy Down. His squadron commander was Wing Commander Arthur Harris, and the squadron concentrated on developing night bombing techniques such as target-marking in their 70 mph machines. The other squadron at Worthy Down at the time, No. 7, was commanded by Wing Commander Charles Portal, later to become Chief of Air Staff during the Second World War and the direct superior and sometimes opponent of Harris. In 1927–28 Saundby attended the RAF Staff College before being posted to the Wessex bombing area staff. By this period he had logged over 2000 flying hours, however his flying career was drawing to a close as he rose into more staff positions. At the rank of wing commander, Saundby attended the Imperial Defence College in 1933.He also worked for two years at the RAF Staff College, Andover as an instructor. In 1937, <mask> was appointed Deputy Director of Operations. From there he became Deputy Director (and subsequently Director) of Operational Requirements and Assistant Chief of Staff (Operational Requirements and Tactics). He held these posts between 1938 and 1940, also rising to Air Vice-Marshall in this period. Second World War

By 1940, <mask> had become Senior Air Staff Officer (SASO), HQ Bomber Command. He served under Air Marshal Richard Peirse, and continued in this position when Peirse was replaced with Arthur Harris in February 1942. February 1943 saw <mask> appointed to the post of deputy air officer commanding-in-chief.He was an advocate for the strategy of attacking German military industries and the morale of the German population by bombing German industrial areas and cities. He was a key deputy for Harris throughout the remainder of the war. On behalf of Harris he selected 94 German towns which were "fitted" for carpet bombing and gave codenames to each of them known as 'Fish code'; for example Nuremberg was codenamed Grayling and Berlin was Whitebait. It is thought that he chose this coding because he was a keen fly fisherman. He retired on medical grounds from the RAF on 22 March 1946. The medical grounds for <mask>'s retirement were the result of injuries (osteoarthritic lumbar spine and an osteoarthritic hip) sustained in a crash 30 years previously. <mask> was awarded the Order of Leopold II with Palme and Croix de Guerre for services in the liberation of Belgium.Retirement
<mask> devoted much of his retirement to his role as Vice-Chairman, Council of Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Association, for which he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. <mask> was the chair of the council of Royal Air Forces Association (as well as life vice-president), president of the Royal British Legion (metropolitan area) and in 1960 was appointed deputy-lieutenant for Berkshire. Fly-fishing was a great passion and <mask> also became the president of the Piscatorial Society, editing their centenary publication The Book of the Piscatorial Society 1836–1936. <mask> was also a keen lepidopterist and a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. In retirement at Burghclere he made light-trap records in his garden and entomologized the woods of West Berkshire. His work in this field saw him record 44 species of butterfly and 501 larger moths. His collection was described as "a model of good arrangement and documentation", and was presented to the Natural History Museum in London.Saundby had many hobbies, and wrote several books on differing subjects including his role in the RAF during the war (Air Bombardment, The Story of its Development, How the Bomber and the Missile Brought the Third Dimension to Warfare) and Steam Engines (Early British Steam 1825–1925: The First 100 Years). <mask> died on 26 September 1971 at Edgecombe Nursing Home, Hamstead Marshall in Berkshire. His ashes were scattered by the River Avon at Netheravon. Family
On 10 January 1931, Saundby married Joyce Mary Rees-Webbe. They met when she came with her father, Major Marmaduke Oswald Norman Rees-Webbe, on a fly-fishing trip. Together they had a son and two daughters. Popular culture
Saundby appears in the wartime propaganda file Target for Tonight.Saundby was portrayed in the 1989 television drama Bomber Harris by Bernard Kay. References

title: Simon Viklund

texts:
<mask> (born <mask>, December 1, 1979) is a Swedish freelance video game composer, music producer, sound designer and game designer, who was first known for his work on the 2008 game Bionic Commando Rearmed, in which he was a creative director and composer. He is also known for his work on the Payday series as a composer and the voice of the character Bain. In 2000, <mask> joined his friend Ulf Andersson's company, Grin, and worked on most of the company's games, which included Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Grin went bankrupt in 2009, leading <mask>, Ulf Andersson and his brother Bo to found Overkill Software. <mask> left Overkill in 2015 to become a freelancer. In 2016, he joined 10 Chambers Collective, another company founded by Ulf Andersson, while continuing his freelance projects. Early life
<mask>  was born in Stockholm on December 1, 1979.He began learning music through the violin as child, and later received classical piano lessons for about seven years. He also taught himself to play the guitar and bass guitar. As a teenager he sang in the local church choir, and was briefly a singer in a band established by his friends in high school. He studied arts in high school, but later became more interested in music. Wiklund began to write music in the late 90s with the help of a computer program called FastTracker 2. None of his music was released at the time, because he was personally unsatisfied with his creations. Career

Grin and early freelance work (2000-2009)
Wiklund joined Grin in 2000 and acted as a composer and sound designer on most of the company's projects, starting with its first game, Ballistics.He later changed his surname to <mask> as people abroad often mispronounced his name, as 'W' and 'V' are pronounced similarly in Swedish. <mask> was also involved in developing the PC version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (2006) and its 2007 sequel, which were published by Ubisoft. He subsequently led the development of Bionic Commando Rearmed, a remake of the 1988 NES version commissioned by Capcom; <mask> also composed the game's soundtrack, which was praised for its faithful reimagining of the original 8-bit arrangements. Elements of <mask>'s Bionic Commando Rearmed soundtrack were also incorporated into Bionic Commando (2009), which was mainly scored by Jamie Christopherson, with <mask> serving as sound designer. Aside from Grin's projects, he also worked on Triotech's Wasteland Racers 2071 (2006). <mask> began work on Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 as its creative director in 2009, before Grin went bankrupt four months into its development. Development was transferred to Fatshark, and <mask> was hired as a creative advisor and composer.He was also commissioned by Capcom for Final Fight: Double Impact (2010) and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition (2011), for which he composed the music. Overkill Software (2009-2015)
<mask>, along with the Andersson brothers and other Grin employees, founded Overkill Software in 2009. At Overkill, he served as the creative director and sound designer for the company's first game, Payday: The Heist, and also composed its soundtrack, drawing inspiration from the 1995 crime film Heat. He also voiced Bain, the main narrator and contract broker in the game. <mask> would reprise his role as composer and the voice of Bain in Payday 2, released in 2013. On August 18, 2015, <mask> left Overkill to focus on his personal and freelance music projects. However, he continued to voice Bain and produce music in Payday 2 as a freelancer.10 Chambers Collective (2016-present)
In 2016, <mask> co-founded a new company with Ulf Andersson, 10 Chambers Collective, while also continuing to work on his freelance projects. He also signed an exclusive songwriter agreement with BMG in the same year. <mask> composed the soundtrack to Robonauts in 2017, and worked as a game designer, narrative director, and composer for 10 Chambers' first project, GTFO. Musical style and influences
<mask>'s compositions are primarily based on elements of electronic music genres such as techno, big beat, electro-funk, or dubstep, but some have been based on rock, industrial music and rap. In 2008, <mask>'s music was labelled by Swedish magazine Nöjesguiden as "chip house" music, while <mask> considered his music to be from a variety of inspirations, ultimately becoming "8-bit-inspired dance music". In an interview with VGMO, <mask> described the musical style of his tracks to be "a mix between the music I find suitable for the project in question, the music I enjoy, and the music I have the skills to produce." In Ballistics and Bandits: Phoenix Rising, he cited the Quake III soundtrack, Fatboy Slim, and The Chemical Brothers as inspirations for the rock, techno, big beat, and industrial sound.When it came to the soundtrack of Bionic Commando Rearmed, <mask> was influenced by groups such as The Crystal Method and Justice, inspirations that he says can be "[heard] ... clearly in the music". The soundtrack of Payday 2 featured a wide variety of music, especially when it came to the music for the game's downloadable content. The trailer for "The Big Bank" DLC featured an opera piece composed by <mask>, with the lyrics being written in Swedish and translated to Italian to be performed by opera singers. Composition
The music for his first two projects, Ballistics and Bandits: Phoenix Rising, were made with FastTracker 2, while the tracks for Bionic Commando series and Payday: The Heist, were made with Jeskola Buzz. In 2013, for Payday 2, he moved on to using Ableton Live, supplemented with a Native Instruments Komplete keyboard and the reFX Nexus 2 Synthesizer plug-in. Works

title: Russell Howarth

texts:
<mask> (born 27 March 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He played in the Football League for York City, Tranmere Rovers and Bradford City. Howarth started his career in the youth system of hometown club York City in 1996 while a schoolboy, before becoming a trainee in 1998. He made his first-team debut aged 17, playing in the first six matches of the 1999–2000 season. During this run in the team, he signed a professional contract with the club. However, he was unable to play regularly for York because of the form of Bobby Mimms and Alan Fettis. After having trials with Premier League and First Division clubs, Howarth left York in November 2002 to sign for Tranmere Rovers for a five-figure fee.Here, he again played sporadically, only having runs in the team when first-choice goalkeeper John Achterberg was unavailable. After being released by Tranmere in 2005, Howarth signed for Bradford City. However, he was unable to dislodge Donovan Ricketts in goal and was released in 2007. He retired from football and started working as a paramedic. While at York, Howarth played for England at a number of youth levels. He was capped twice at under-16 level in 1999, while still a trainee at York. He competed with Chelsea's Rhys Evans for a starting place in the under-18 team, playing for them in 2001 UEFA European Under-18 Championship qualifying.After making four under-18 appearances from 2000 to 2001, he progressed to the under-20 team, competing with Evans, Stephen Bywater and Boaz Myhill for a place in the team. He was capped four times for the team from 2001 to 2002 before being given a late call-up to the under-21 squad for the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He was still included in under-21 squads after moving to Tranmere, but failed to be capped at that level. Early life
Howarth was born in York, North Yorkshire to Michael and Lyn <mask> (née Hammond). He was baptised in Riccall, North Yorkshire and attended Barlby High School. As a youth, he played as a goalkeeper for Olympia Station FC, before representing York and District Schools aged 12. In one season, however, he played as a left winger and scored 29 goals.He soon returned to playing in goal and impressed Huntington School teacher Alan Whitehead, a former York City player, who ran the York and District team. Club career

York City
Howarth started his career with hometown club York City in their youth system, joining in 1996 on schoolboy terms. In the summer of 1998, he signed a three-year academy scholarship at York and became a first-year trainee. During May 1999, he played for York in the Candia-66 International Under-20s Tournament, a youth tournament hosted in Europe. York won the tournament after defeating Trenkvin Slowakigie in the final, in which Howarth saved two penalty kicks in the 4–2 penalty shoot-out victory. Aged 17, he made his first-team debut for Third Division York in a 1–0 victory at home to Swansea City in the opening match of the 1999–2000 season on 7 August 1999. He started the season as York's first-choice goalkeeper ahead of the experienced Bobby Mimms, keeping clean sheets in the first three matches.On 26 August 1999, two days after making his fifth successive appearance, Howarth signed a three-year professional contract with York. However, after conceding 11 goals in three matches, and having played in York's first six matches of the season, manager Neil Thompson dropped him for the more experienced Mimms. York's management team insisted Howarth's exclusion was to safeguard him, and was not based on merit. His next appearance came as a 72nd-minute substitute in York's 2–0 defeat away to Plymouth Argyle on 19 February 2000, following an injury to Mimms. Howarth was favoured over Mimms for the following match, a 0–0 draw at home to Exeter City on 26 February 2000. However, following the signing of Northern Ireland international Alan Fettis, Howarth was once again restricted to the substitutes' bench. His first season in senior football finished with eight appearances.In May 2000, Howarth played for Premier League club Leeds United in a seven-a-side tournament in Singapore, because their own goalkeepers were unavailable. He also represented York in the Candia-66 International Under-20s Tournament for a second successive summer, although he only played one match as he was being rested after playing for Leeds. His first appearance of 2000–01 came 22 August 2000, in York's 5–1 defeat at home to Stoke City in the League Cup first round first leg. During the match, he fumbled a Graham Fenton cross, and Stoke opened the scoring from the error. He garnered praise from York's part-time goalkeeping coach and former Everton player Neville Southall, who Howarth held as a boyhood hero, saying: "Russ can be as good as he wants to be. He works hard and has a great attitude when a lot of youngsters today at big clubs don't have such a good attitude. He will succeed.Even if it is in three, five or even ten years, he will succeed." With Fettis rested, Howarth made his second appearance of the season on 9 January 2001, starting in a 4–0 defeat at home to Darlington in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round. Despite conceding four goals, he was the only player to escape criticism from manager Terry Dolan, who said: "He was let down by everyone else around him. He had no protection whatsoever. His kicking was excellent and he did everything else he had to do without a problem." Due to the good form of Fettis, Howarth finished the season with only two appearances. Howarth made his first appearance of 2001–02 in the 2–0 defeat away to Notts County on 16 October 2001 in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round.Having made a number of fine saves, he was named man of the match, and Dolan remarked that: "he is playing as well as I have seen him and he is putting real pressure on Alan Fettis." Despite not featuring regularly for York, he spent four days on trial with Premier League club Sunderland, training with the team for three days and playing 45 minutes of a practice match against Huddersfield Town. Howarth then spent a brief period on trial with Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) of the First Division in January 2002. He played for the reserve team against Huddersfield and reportedly impressed manager Dave Jones. Howarth made his first league appearance for York in over two years as a 65th-minute substitute for an injured Fettis a 3–0 home win over Bristol Rovers on 17 April 2002. Two days later, he was offered a new contract by York. With Fettis still injured for the following match, Howarth started for the first time since February 2000 in a 1–0 defeat away to Scunthorpe United on 20 April 2002, York's final match of the season.He finished the season with three appearances. Larger clubs became interested in buying him during the summer of 2002 and he decided to consider his options before deciding on his future. He trialled with Everton in May 2002, and played in a friendly against Falkirk in the Alex Scott Memorial Trophy, keeping a clean sheet. He revealed he was interested in a move to Everton, and due to Fettis' good form for York, he decided to pursue a move. After his contract expired on 30 June 2002, Howarth joined Wolves for a second trial in July for a two-week period. After playing in Wolves' opening pre-season friendly against Morecambe, he was invited to join them for their pre-season tour of Portugal. Despite being out of contract at York, the club was entitled a fee as he was under 24 years of age, but a bid of £60,000 from Wolves was rejected.He was recalled by York to take part in a pre-season friendly against Sunderland, although he refused to participate. Howarth told Dolan he did not want to play for the club, as any potential injury could have ended his proposed transfer. His proposed move to Wolves continued until August 2002, and late that month he trained with Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. He played in a practice match for Tottenham, but after they failed to follow up their interest in him Wolves made a bid to sign him on loan, which York rejected. After Marlon Beresford left York, and Howarth's proposed moves elsewhere fell through, he re-signed for the club in September 2002 on a week-to-week contract. Despite this, he spent two days on trial with Premier League club Newcastle United in late September 2002. Howarth's first appearance of 2002–03 came in a 4–3 away defeat to Lincoln City on 22 October 2002 in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round, after Fettis was rested due to injury.Tranmere Rovers
Howarth left York on 5 November 2002, signing for Second Division club Tranmere Rovers for an undisclosed five-figure fee. York chairman John Batchelor later revealed the transfer fee was an initial figure of £25,000. After signing, Howarth said: "I felt I had gone a little bit stale at York and the time was right to move on". He made his debut three weeks later in a 2–1 defeat away to Cardiff City in an FA Cup first-round replay, entering as a 72nd-minute substitute after John Achterberg was sent off. Tranmere did not concede during Howarth's 18 minutes on the pitch, and his performance was positive. However, with Achterberg established in the Tranmere goal, Howarth had to wait until 4 February 2003 to make his league debut away to Cheltenham Town, coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute after Achterberg sustained an injury. He conceded twice as Tranmere lost 3–1.Howarth returned to the substitutes' bench for the following match against Swindon Town on 8 February 2003, as Achterberg had recovered from injury.

 Tranmere came over two months later in a 0–0 draw away to Luton Town on 5 April 2003, after Achterberg picked up an injury in training the previous day. He kept his starting place for the following match, a 1–0 victory at home to Wycombe Wanderers on 12 April 2003. Despite keeping clean sheets in both matches, he was dropped for the next match against Notts County on 19 April 2002. He finished 2002–03 with four appearances for Tranmere. Howarth continued to be kept out of the team in 2003–04, only making his first appearance after Achterberg was injured during the warm-up away to Swindon on 3 March 2004. Tranmere lost 2–0, although his performance was positive, making a number of good saves.However, Achterberg was declared fit for the following match against Millwall on 7 March 2004, and <mask> returned to the substitutes' bench. He did not play another match for Tranmere that season. Howarth's first appearance of 2004–05 came as a 20th-minute substitute after Achterberg was injured away to Hull City on 18 December 2004. After conceding a goal scored by Ian Ashbee in the 34th minute, Howarth was injured in a challenge with Stuart Elliott, and was substituted at half-time. He was available for Tranmere's next match against Barnsley on 26 December 2004, and with Achterberg ruled out for the Christmas period with a knee injury, he started in a 1–1 home draw. This meant Howarth had a run of nine consecutive matches in goal for Tranmere, with an appearance against Oldham Athletic in the Football League Trophy Northern semi-final on 25 January 2005 being his last before Achterberg returned against Luton on 29 January. He failed to play again that season, and was released by Tranmere on 24 May 2005.Bradford City
On 8 June 2005, <mask> signed a two-year contract with League One club Bradford City. He was signed to provide competition for Donovan Ricketts, manager Colin Todd saying: "It was a position we needed filling badly. I am delighted to have got a keeper of <mask>'s calibre". Despite having the chance to affirm himself in pre-season with Ricketts away on international duty, it was Ricketts who started 2005–06 as first-choice goalkeeper. <mask> made his debut away to Rotherham United on 20 August 2005, coming on as a 27th-minute substitute after Ricketts was injured. The match finished a 1–1 draw. He made his first start in the subsequent 5–0 away victory over League Two club Rochdale in the League Cup first round on 23 August 2005.These were the first two appearances of a 12-match run in the team, before being dropped after nearly two months when Ricketts returned from injury against Port Vale on 15 October 2005. His last two appearances for Bradford that season, which came when Ricketts was suspended, were a 5–3 defeat at home to Barnsley in an FA Cup second-round replay on 13 December 2005 and a 2–1 defeat at home to Rotherham four days later. Howarth finished his first season at Bradford with a career-record 15 appearances. After starting 2006–07 as second-choice to Ricketts, Howarth sought a loan away from Bradford for first-team football, saying: "It is approaching make or break in terms of my career. I need to start playing regularly again as soon as possible". Former club York, by this time playing in the Conference National, made a failed bid to sign him on loan in September 2006. Howarth's first and only appearance of the season, a 2–1 defeat at home to Scunthorpe in the Football League Trophy Northern Section first round on 17 October 2006, proved to be the last of his career.He was released by Bradford on 9 May 2007 and subsequently retired from professional football aged 25.

International career

England under-16
Howarth received his first international call-up when he was included in the England national under-16 team to play Turkey on 12 January 1999. He was the only player with a club from below the top two divisions to have been selected. He made his debut in the match as a 70th-minute substitute for Chelsea's Rhys Evans, with England winning 2–0. His second cap and first start came two months later in a 1–0 victory at home to Turkey on 30 March 1999. Following the match, Sky Sports commentator Brian Marwood described his performance as "outstanding". England under-18
Howarth's next international call-up came over a year later when being selected for the under-18s for a match against Luxembourg on 27 April 2000, this time being one of two players with clubs below the top two divisions. He debuted after coming on as a 60th-minute substitute for Evans, in a 2–0 victory for England.<mask> was then called up for a friendly with Israel on 1 September, although he did not feature as Evans was chosen to start. In September 2000, he was named in the team that would participate in a 2001 UEFA European Under-18 Championship qualifying mini-tournament hosted in Ancona, Italy. He failed to appear in the first match against Andorra on 7 October 2000, but made his first start in the next match, a 5–0 victory over the Faroe Islands on 9 October. <mask> was excluded from the line-up for the final match against Italy, which England won to progress to the intermediate qualifying round. <mask> was called up for a friendly at home to Belgium on 16 November 2000, which he started as England won 3–2, despite Evans having seemingly established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for the under-18s. He was included in the squad for another friendly against the Netherlands on 1 March 2001, although Evans was chosen to play ahead of Howarth. He was called into the squads to play Poland in the intermediate qualifying round, although he failed to play a part in either leg of the tie, as Evans started in both the 1–0 home loss on 22 March 2001 and the 0–0 away draw on 26 April.With Evans omitted from the squad to play away against Switzerland in a friendly on 30 May 2001, Howarth started in a 1–0 defeat. The match, in which he was substituted for Boaz Myhill of Aston Villa, proved to be his final appearance for the under-18s. England under-20
Howarth was ineligible to play for the under-19 team due to an alteration to the England set-up, and was subsequently called up for the under-20 match against Portugal at home on 21 November 2001. The match was England's first at under-20 level since the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship. He started the match and was substituted for Myhill at half-time, with the team winning 1–0. <mask> came on for England as a half-time substitute for Evans in a 3–0 home victory over Finland on 13 March 2002, in their penultimate friendly ahead of the 2002 Toulon Tournament. A call-up came for the final friendly away to Portugal on 10 April 2002, and he entered as a half-time substitute, this time for Myhill.After originally being left out the squad, he was given a last-minute call-up to play at the Toulon Tournament in May 2002, after Stephen Bywater was called up for the under-21 team. <mask> did not play in the first group match against Poland on 10 May 2002 as Bywater started, but in the second match against Portugal he was chosen ahead of Evans in a 1–0 victory over Portugal on 12 May. However, he was dropped for the final group match against Brazil on 14 May 2002 to make way for Evans, who also played in England's final match in the tournament against Japan on 17 May. England under-21
Shortly after the under-20s' elimination from the Toulon Tournament, Howarth was called up for the under-21 team playing in the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship after Bywater and Evans picked up injuries. He was an unused substitute for England's final two group matches against Italy and Portugal, and after losing both of these matches the team was eliminated. He was recalled by the under-21s for a match against Yugoslavia on 6 September 2002, although Liverpool's Chris Kirkland started. He was included in the squad for the under-21s' next match against Slovakia on 11 October 2002 in qualification Group 7 of the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and, despite Kirkland being injured, failed to play as Wolves' Matt Murray was selected.For the following qualifier against Macedonia on 15 October 2002, Howarth failed to make the substitutes' bench. Following his move to Tranmere his international call-ups continued, and he was selected for a get-together of the under-21s in November 2002, ahead of their 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Portugal and Turkey in March and April 2003. However, he did not play in either match, with Bywater and Murray starting. He was given a late call-up to the squad for qualifiers against Macedonia and Portugal in September, but did not eventually meet up with the team as an agreement was reached that he would only be on standby. Post-football
Following his retirement from football, Howarth became a paramedic. He became a coach for City Football Development in August 2009, which was set up to offer coaching to youngsters in York. Personal life
Howarth has been an Everton supporter since the early 1990s.His girlfriend Victoria worked as a deputy head teacher and while <mask> was a Tranmere player the couple lived on the Wirral. Their daughter, Georgia May, was born in late 2004. After signing for Bradford in 2005, Howarth briefly lived with his parents in Riccall before purchasing a second home in Halifax, West Yorkshire to live in with his partner. Career statistics

title: Jukka Lindholm

<mask> (born July 1965 in Oulu), also known as Michael Maria Pentholm and currently Michael Penttilä, is a Finnish serial killer. According to Alibi (a Finnish crime magazine), he is the only Finn that fits FBI's description of a serial killer. Despite his danger, <mask> has repeatedly been released, even with the risk of a new death, and has been the subject of much criticism from people for the over-lax functioning of the Finnish legal system. A citizens' initiative to reinforce Lindholm's sentence has also been launched. Adolescent crimes
In November 1981, he kidnapped a 15-year-old girl and forced her into a basement, where he beat her, choked her with scarves and threatened to rape her. He wore black leather gloves during the attack. The girl managed to escape, and despite the 15-year-old Lindholm receiving no fines, earlier thefts and attacks led him to the Kerava Youth Facility in 1984.He was released in 1985. The first murders
<mask> killed his mother, 48-year-old barmaid Laina Lahja Orvokki Lindholm in their apartment in Oulu on August 26, 1985. Both <mask> and his mother's male friend were suspected in the murder – the crime was, however, initially ignored. The next murder Lindholm committed was on July 26, 1986. He met two 12-year-old girls down town and persuaded them to "come to his apartment so he could lend them a few marks for alcohol". Within his residence in Oulu, he locked one of the girls in the bathroom. The other girl, Titta Marjaana Kotaniemi, was knocked down on the floor and was choked to death.After some time, <mask> released the other girl from the bathroom and sexually assaulted her. The girl escaped his grasp and ran from the apartment to the stairway, while Lindholm fled to the nearby forest where the police soon caught him. He was drunk, with 1.75 on the BAC scale. In connection with the murder of Kotaniemi, <mask> confessed to the police that he was mistreated by his mother. According to his statement, he had worn the blue leather gloves and the red-coloured scarf of his mother before doing so. He was angered by the fact that his mother had not been able to release him from youth facility and that she had been dating a new man, preferring to live with him rather than his father. Later, in the Oulu court, he recanted his confession and claimed he had been using multiple psychoactive drugs at once.The Oulu District Court issued its judgment on March 17, 1987. The court ruled that <mask> <mask> had been guilty of two charges of manslaughter as well as other crimes, condemning him for 9 years and 7 months imprisonment. However, the Rovaniemi Appellate Court held the case Laina <mask>'s death was not a murder and instead an assault or negligent homicide, and reduced the sentence to 7 years imprisonment. Third murder
Lindholm was granted parole in May 1992. On May 31, 1993, he choked a 42-year-old woman with a cloth belt in her Kempele apartment. <mask> at first objected sharply to the act, claiming that somebody had set him up. On June 23, 1993, he escaped from the Oulu County Police Station with another man.The Oulu District Court considered <mask> to be completely sane, and sentenced him to 9.5 years imprisonment on December 13, 1993. Following the judgment of the District Court, Lindholm contacted the investigators. He admitted to having killed the woman, but it was an accident. According to him, he had proposed explicit sex and explained that he was playing around the neck before realising that she had died due to choking. Lindholm had wandered off to his mother's grave after the murder, staying there for a few hours. The Appellate Court subsequently changed the sentence to 10.5 years, sending Lindholm to a special institution. According to psychiatric reports, Lindholm admired the primordial, violent manhood of his teenage years – despite starting to wear dresses and women's underwear while in prison.The head of the Hämeenlinna Center forbade this, and Lindholm subsequently complained to the Parliament's ombudsman. Freedom and new troubles
Lindholm was released on parole in November 2008. Prior to his release, he was subjected to treatment, which came to a conclusion that he was not yet ready for civilian life. In prison, he married Hannele Pentholm, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for her husband's murder. They were married for a couple of years. Since then, he renamed himself to Michael Maria Pentholm, who invited a woman to his house in May 2009. There, he tried to choke the woman with both his hands from behind.In August 2009, Pentholm bought an Oulu apartment in Toppila via a professional jury magazine announcement. He began to choke a woman while erecting a massage table in the apartment's living room. A third such case occurred in September 2009: Pentholm had ordered a cleaner for his apartment and began to choke her, but she managed to escape and immediately alert the police. On June 11, 2010, the Oulu District Court sentenced Pentholm to six years' imprisonment for three attempted manslaughters and numerous assaults. Authorities ordered Pentholm to sit through his whole sentence because, according to a mental study, he was regarded as a very dangerous offender. In April 2011, the Rovaniemi Appellate Court considered Pentholm to have committed only three aggravated assaults, lowering the sentence to 4 years and 5 months. At the same time, the Appellate Court ruled that the prerequisites for ordering Pentholm to sit out his punishment as a whole in jail did not exist.On March 2, 2012, the Oulu District Court condemned Pentholm for 4 years and 4 months for serious rape, gross ill-treatment and false imprisonment. The cruel rape and false imprisonment had taken place on August 21–22, 2009 at a hotel in Oulu, and the assault in a company in the period from May 1–31, 2009 in Pentholm's Oulu apartment in Myllyoja. The authorities ordered Pentholm to execute his full sentence in jail, and the Appellate Court upheld the verdict in October 2012. On Tuesday, October 13, 2015, the now renamed Michael Penttilä escaped from Laukaa's open prison during a prisoner shopping trip, but was caught the following day. He was granted parole in the spring of 2016. Penttilä's jail sentence was prolonged due to the absences and the entire term of his sentence was changed to imprisonment in a closed prison. Penttilä was released in 2016 on Christmas.In April 2017, the police ordered for Penttilä to be arrested again for alleged aggravated crime and the preparation of a criminal offense, but the Helsinki District Court released him during the investigation. In May 2017, the Helsinki Appellate Court annulled the decision and Penttilä was rearrested. On July 7, 2017, the Helsinki District Court dismissed the prosecution of an aggravated criminal offense or a health offense and ordered Penttilä to be released. In May 2018, the Appellate Court changed the decision and Penttilä was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months imprisonment, and to pay the victim a compensation of 4,000 euros. On April 13, 2018, Penttilä killed a sex worker in a Helsinki apartment. The victim was found on May 4 and Penttilä was arrested two days later in Helsinki, suspected of murder. On May 17, 2018 the police announced that Penttilä had admitted during interrogations that he had committed a homicide.In July, the Helsinki District Court sentenced him to life imprisonment for murder. He had held steady discretion in the murders, using several tools such as leather belts, tights or his bare hands. Penttilä later announced that he would appeal the court's decision. See also

title: Suzann Victor

texts:
<mask> (born 1959) is a Singaporean contemporary artist based in Australia whose practice spans installation, painting, and performance art. <mask> is most known for her public artworks and installations that examine ideas of disembodiment, the postcolonial, and the environmental in response to space, context and architecture. <mask> was the co-founder and artistic director of the significant Singaporean artist-run initiative and space, 5th Passage (1991-1994). She was one of four artists selected to exhibit at Singapore's first national pavilion at the 49th Venice Biennale in 2001, alongside Henri Chen KeZhan, Salleh Japar, and Matthew Ngui. She was the only woman artist to have represented at the Singapore Pavilion for the art biennale in Venice until 2022, with Shubigi Rao to represent Singapore then. She has exhibited widely on the international circuit, participating in exhibitions such as the 6th Havana Biennale in Cuba, The 2nd Asia-Pacific Triennial (APT2) in Australia, the 6th Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, the 5th Seoul International Media Art Biennale in South Korea, ZKM's Thermocline of Art 2007 in Germany, and OÖ Kulturquartier's Hohenrausch 2014 in Austria. Education and personal life
Born the youngest of more than 10 children, <mask> was adopted by the second wife of her biological aunt's husband.Her adoptive mother was a housewife and her adoptive father, who had five other children, ran a transport business. <mask> knew little about her biological father, though she was aware that he painted movie banners, and her biological mother was a housewife. In the 1970s, after completing her GCE 'O' Levels at Fairfield Methodist Girls' School, <mask> searched for a job and enrolled in a secretarial course, though she did not get the opportunity to apply her skills. At the age of 19, she became a housewife, marrying her now ex-husband. 7 years later at the age of 26, she enrolled at LASALLE College of the Arts while still married. In 1990, <mask> graduated with an Associate Diploma of Fine Art (Painting) from LASALLE College of the Arts. She would leave Singapore in the mid-1990s to study in Australia, obtaining her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1997, her Master of Fine Arts in 2000, and be awarded her Doctor of Philosophy in 2008, all from the University of Western Sydney (now known as Western Sydney University).Career

Early career
In 1988, <mask> and her LASALLE College of the Arts classmates took over a stretch of Orchard Road with their abstract prints and paintings, holding a small exhibition by displaying their work on the ground. A stranger who walked by their roadside exhibition, who then owned a picture-frame shop in Orchard Point, was taken by the students' works and sponsored a proper show in the shopping centre. The exhibition attracted so much attention that its run was extended, with all works sold. 5th Passage and after

Following her graduation from art school in 1990, <mask> approached the management of Parkway Parade shopping centre in 1991 to enquire about a space to display art, and was offered a two-year, rent-free lease for a fifth-floor passageway which she proposed to turn into a contemporary art space. From 1991 to 1994, 5th Passage would support performance art, installation, music, photography, and design, also organising public readings and forums. In particular, it focussed on issues of gender and identity, and on the work of women artists. <mask> and fellow artist Susie Lingham would serve as co-founders and co-artistic directors of the space.During the final days of 1993, 5th Passage held the Artists' General Assembly (AGA) festival at their Parkway Parade space, co-organising the event with The Artists Village. Here, Josef Ng's Brother Cane performance work was staged and sensationalised in local newspapers as an obscene act. Following the public outcry, 5th Passage was charged with breaching the conditions of its Public Entertainment License, blacklisted from funding by Singapore's National Arts Council, and evicted from its Parkway Parade site. Described as one of the "darkest moments of Singapore’s contemporary art scene", the incident led to a ten-year no-funding rule for performance art, a ruling lifted only in 2003. Later in 1994, 5th Passage received a ten-month offer to curate shows at vacant shop units in the Pacific Plaza shopping centre, which the initiative took up. Here, <mask> produced a series of performative installations that grieved for the silencing of 5th Passage and all Singapore artists. <mask>'s works from this series, such as His Mother is a Theatre and Expense of Spirit in a Waste of Shame were acquired by the Singapore Art Museum as soon as it was shown, becoming significant works within Singapore's history of contemporary art.Around a year after 5th Passage's programmes at Pacific Plaza, the founder-directors of the initiative left for further studies and the group disbanded, with <mask> leaving for Australia. In 1998, <mask> performed Still Waters (between estrangement and reconciliation) at the Singapore Art Museum for exhibition and residency project, ARX5: Processes. It was an uncommon publicly-staged performance work between 1994 and 2003, described by <mask> as a work responding to the de facto performance art ban and the loss of the 5th Passage space. In 2001, <mask> was selected as one of four artists to exhibit at Singapore's first national pavilion at the 49th Venice Biennale, the first and only woman artist to have represented at the Singapore Pavilion for the art biennale in Venice until 2022, when Shubigi Rao was selected to represent Singapore. Present-day
In 2013, for the 4th Singapore Biennale, <mask> exhibited Rainbow Circle: Capturing a Natural Phenomenon, which induced rainbows within the interior of the National Museum of Singapore. In 2019, the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival selected "Still Waters" as its theme, a direct reference to the 1998 performance work at the Singapore Art Museum by <mask>. Art
<mask>'s installations are often theatrical in nature, and of a scale that allows the viewer to 'enter' the work, such as in her 1994 works His Mother is a Theatre and Expense of Spirit in a Waste of Shame.Such works are highly performative in nature, often utilising kinetic and aural elements. Issues of gender, marginalisation, and abjection are significant themes explored—in her 1998 performance work, Still Waters (between estrangement and reconciliation), <mask> performed within the drains of the Singapore Art Museum, the role of which <mask> explores in her doctorate thesis, Abjection: Weapon of the Weak, writing:Such drains were a relic of the building's colonial architecture, made purposeless by retrofitted glass walls that turned a once-exposed balcony on the second-floor into a sealed, controlled air-conditioned space for artworks. The position of the artist's body within this liminal space, half-submerged in drain water, spoke to the role of performance art with its de facto ban in Singapore; the spectre of coloniality upon the postcolonial body; as well as the marginalised presence of women artists in the male-dominated art landscape of the time. Awards and collections
In 1988, <mask> was awarded the Australian Bicentennial "Highly Commended Award" from the National Museum of Singapore. Later in 1989, she received the IBM Merit Prize from Singapore's Ministry of Communications and Information. In 1995, <mask> was awarded the Singapore International Foundation Art Award. Her work can be found in the collections of the Singapore Art Museum, the Australian High Commission in Singapore, the University of Western Sydney in Australia, the Singapore Armed Forces Reservist Association, the Ministry of Information and the Arts in Singapore, the Takahasi Corporation in Japan and Ernst & Young, among others.References

<mask>, OBE (14 January 1932 – 4 March 2007) was a British sports journalist. He was with the Daily Mail for nearly 50 years. Biography
Born in New Milton, Hampshire, <mask> left Brockenhurst Grammar School with two school certificates, for English and art. After National Service and an apprenticeship on newspapers in New Milton and Bournemouth, he became a reporter on the News Chronicle in 1956. After a spell with the Sunday Dispatch, he moved to the Daily Mail, which absorbed the News Chronicle in 1960. Early Fleet Street career
Initially a cricket correspondent at the Mail, from 1972 <mask> wrote a weekly column which spread to other sports. He covered 10 Olympic Games, including the Sarajevo Winter Olympics in 1984.Writing before those games, he predicted a tragedy, but changed his mind after being there, saying they were amongst the best he had ever seen. He covered the Munich Olympics in 1972, and caused resentment among British runners with a brutish and insensitive attack on David Bedford; it emerged that he had had to take some ribbing from foreign journalists over Bedford's failure in the 10,000 metres. As well as the Olympics, <mask> covered Wimbledon tennis championships, heavyweight boxing world title bouts, football World Cups, Open and US Masters golf championships and America's Cups for the paper. His America's Cup reporting opened the sport to a wide audience beyond sailing enthusiasts. He was assisted by PR and friend David Redfern, of whom he said "with his help, the eyes of Coronation Street as well as the Squadron are on the Cup", but in reality it was <mask>'s writing and interest that was the key. The last Olympics he covered was in Sydney in 2000. He branched into other areas, writing on a revolution in Portugal, flying with the RAF's Red Arrows, riding the Cresta Run, sparring with Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, and running the bulls at Pamplona.<mask> was newspaper columnist of the year twice, sportswriter of the year five times and sports feature writer of the year four times. His first job had been on the New Milton Advertiser, covering the funeral of a coal merchant; he intercepted every mourner to write down his or her name – holding up the interment by more than half an hour. According to his obituary in The Daily Telegraph, <mask> was sent to Alaska to cover the 1,100-mile dog sled race from Anchorage to Nome, travelling with a photographer in a one-engine aircraft steered by an old bush pilot. "You slept where you could", <mask> later recalled. "In trappers' huts with bare wire bedsteads to sleep on, cooking up horsemeat over a fire... We stayed with Eskimo families, Indian families – there were no hotels." <mask> ghosted a syndicated column for golfer Max Faulkner. Once, needing a good anecdote about Faulkner's Open success, he invented a story about the golfer just before he had teed off in the final round: Faulkner, he wrote, had scrawled "Open Champion 1949" on a ball which he handed to a young autograph hunter.Years later <mask> met American writer George Plimpton, who had come across the story. "Great tale", said Plimpton admiringly. "Total nonsense", <mask> replied. Television career
<mask> made over 120 documentaries for various broadcasters, including the BBC. Titles of these include: Wooldridge on Whiskey; In the Highest Tradition; The Great Fishing Race; Behind the Lines; Trooping the Colour; and The British Challenge for the America's Cup 1983. His heyday was during the late 1970s and early 1980s. He also did a lot of voiceovers, most memorably for the British Gas advert that involved a baby swimming under water.Opposition to apartheid
<mask> was an anti-apartheid advocate, supporting sportswriter John Arlott at the Cambridge Union in 1969 in speaking against sport with South Africa. His opposition dated from his first cricket tour to South Africa. During the Port Elizabeth Test match, black South Africans were not only refused entry but beaten up by police. Because of problems with telephones, <mask> had to contact his London office from the committee room. Frank Keating, in The Guardian, recalled: "He had written his piece; now he had to read it at the top of his voice in the presence of about 30 hard-faced members of the republic's ruling broederband... as all 30 pairs of ears listened in the chilly, unwelcoming atmosphere, he took a deep breath and dictated: 'The wretchedly awful face of apartheid was displayed here today when...'"

Awards
In the British Press Awards he was Columnist of the Year in 1975 and 1976; and Sportswriter of the Year in 1972, 1974, 1981 and 1989. The Sports Journalists' Association made him Sportswriter of the Year for 1986, 1987 and 1995; and it chose him as Sports Feature Writer of the Year in 1990 and 1996. As Alan Sugar remarked during a libel action against the Daily Mail, journalists' awards were decided by fellow journalists and "were like a lot of thieves deciding who pulled off the best bank job of the year."In May 2006, he won the London Press Club's Edgar Wallace award for outstanding reporting. The Press Club's chairman, Donald Trelford, described <mask> as "more than just a sports writer, he is a journalist of the highest calibre and a master of the written word". Death and legacy
<mask> died from cancer. His memorial service was at the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks, London on Wednesday 27 July 2007. Hugh McIlvanney, in The Sunday Times, wrote:

It is an honour to have worked in the same era as <mask>, a precious privilege to have known him as a friend for more than 40 years. Though he would have snorted at the suggestion, he repeatedly pulled off the minor miracle of making our way of getting a living seem like a proper job for a grown-up person. <mask>'s youngest son, Max, is a UK-based travel writer.References
