title: Moxi, Luding County

abstract: Moxi, or Boxab, is a town in Luding County in the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan, China. As of 2000 it had 6,794 inhabitants. Moxi Town stands at the gateway to the Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park, south of Kangding and east of Mount Konka. The town also featured in the Battle of Luding Bridge in 1935 when some of those who fought in the battle including Mao Zedong met in Moxi and stayed the night when the army marched through before heading north. Moxi lies at roughly 1,600 meters above sea level, and the population are mainly ethnic Han Chinese, Yi and Tibetan with other minorities. The main crossroads at the park entrance has hotels, restaurants and souvenir stalls. About 150 metres below is the original street of the village. It has a small Catholic church built at the end of the 19th century by missionaries of the Paris Foreign Missions Society, with a colourful bell tower and a number of wooden shops. During the 1930s, European missionaries maintained a leper colony near the church, which was ransacked by communist troops in 1935. Following this event, two missionaries, Pascual Nadal Oltra and Epifanio Pegoraro, were taken prisoner and beheaded by communist soldiers. The surrounding township is mainly pastoral land, and agriculture employs much of the population.

**Moxi** was a line of high-definition digital video recorders produced by Moxi Digital Digeo and Arris International. Moxi was originally released only to cable operators, but in December 2008 it was released as a retail product. Moxi was removed from the market in November 2011. The former retail product, the Moxi HD DVR, provided a high-definition user interface with support for either two or three CableCARD TV tuners. Arris also offered a companion appliance, the Moxi Mate, which could stream live or recorded TV from a Moxi HD DVR.

## History

Digeo was founded in 1999 (originally under the name Broadband Partners, Inc.) by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, with headquarters in Kirkland, Washington. In the same year, Rearden Steel was started by Steve Perlman, founder of WebTV, under a veil of secrecy. In 2000, Rearden Steel was renamed to Moxi Digital while unveiling a line of media centers designed to bridge the gap between personal computers and televisions. Digeo, Inc. purchased Moxi Digital in 2002. Digeo kept its own name but adopted *Moxi* as its product family name. Its Palo Alto offices and most of Moxi Digital's staff were kept. Digeo also adopted most of the Moxi hardware (originally focused on satellite consumer electronics), as well as some of the Linux extensions, which were merged into Digeo's own Linux-based infrastructure and cable-specific hardware with Digeo's Emmy award-winning user interface, known as Moxi Menu.

On September 22, 2009, the assets of Digeo, Inc. were purchased by the Arris International. Arris announced it would continue to develop and market the Moxi product line to both retail customers and cable operators.

## Retail DVR products

The Moxi HD DVR was a high-definition digital video recorder (DVR) with both three-tuner and two-tuner models available, though the two-tuner model was produced only briefly before being updated. It was designed for use with cable television and supported multi-stream CableCARDs, as well as channel scanning for unencrypted channels. Multi-room viewing was supported using a small (and less expensive) companion device called a Moxi Mate. The Moxi product line was released to retail in December 2008 after many years of being available only to cable operators. From 2009, Arris offered multi-room packages. Retail sales were suspended early in 2012.

### DVR hardware

The Moxi HD DVR was a Broadcom BCM7400-based set-top box designed to work with a Multi-stream CableCARD. Moxi features were added to the Arris Moxi Gateway and Moxi Player, for sale to cable companies only.

The hardware features two or three HD tuners, allowing users to record two or three shows at the same time, depending on the model; 500 GB storage, which equates to 75 hours of 1080 HD recording or 300 hours of SD (480i) recording; and Dolby Digital surround sound.

The Moxi HD DVR was compatible with eSATA external hard drives certified for DVR use. External drives allowed users to extend their hard drive space. Drives up to 6.5TB were supported.

Moxi HD DVRs supported 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p 24 and 30 Hz TV resolutions.

### Moxi Mate hardware

The Moxi Mate was the multi-room extender for the Moxi HD DVR released in August 2009. It was a set-top box that connects with the Moxi HD DVR over a home network to let users watch TV in other rooms. The Moxi Mate can could play media files available from the home network or the Internet using the same interface as the HD DVR.

title: Ventral nervous system defective

abstract: The ventral nervous system defective (vnd) gene present in fruit flies of the genus Drosophila functions during embryonic brain development and is necessary for the formation and specification of neural cell lineages. This transcription factor is expressed in all brain neuromeres and functions as a columnar patterning gene in the early stages of cell differentiation. Vnd is important in cell development as well as cell maintenance during embryogenesis due to the expression of the gene in both the developing neural cells and the specified neuromeres. Knockout experiments of vnd reveal similar axonal defects as the knockout of the Hox gene labial (lab). Like the Hox genes, vnd is required for specification along the dorsoventral axis. Mutant vnd produce the loss of tritocerebral neural lineages as well as neuromeres, therefore this gene is crucial for the development of these cell lineages. Without proper vnd expression throughout Drosophila embryonic development, the brain would not become functional.

# Versapay

**Versapay** (previously VersaPay) is a North American financial technology company headquartered in Miami, Florida. Versapay specializes in account receivable software and cash application for midsized businesses. It was listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol VPY between January 2010 and February 2020 when it was acquired by private equity firm Great Hill Partners for $126 million.

In 2009, Canadian Business Magazine named Versapay Corporation the fastest growing company in Canada. Revenue for Versapay had grown from $50,000 in 2006 to $5.1 Million in 2008, processing an estimated $230 Million in 2008 from over 2800 clients, by 2013 - Versapay was processessing in excess of $1 billion annually.

## History

Versapay Corporation was founded in 2006 by Michael Gokturk and Kevin Short. Versapay began accepting clients in 2007 as it set up the company's headquarters in Vancouver, BC. Versapay began to diversify its client-base by introducing a new proprietary payment processing solution for both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) transactions.

### Partnership with Chase Paymentech

In January 2007, Versapay partnered with the Canadian affiliate of Chase Paymentech, a United States-based payment processing company. This strategic partnership allowed Versapay to begin processing commonly used electronic payment methods such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Interac Direct Debit and Interac Online. Versapay began to use the Chase name when marketing Versapay to clients in order to increase the assurance and reliability of Versapay's products. After building up enough reputation, Versapay stopped using the Chase name only one year later.

### Acquisition of Positive Inc

In February 2008, Versapay acquired a 75% interest in Positive Inc., a wireless payment technology provider, to offer this option to their clients. In June 2010, Versapay agreed to sell its ownership in Positive Inc. back to the company in return for shares in Versapay.

### Initial Public Offering

Versapay began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on January 20, 2010. Versapay shares trade under the symbol "VPY".

### Marketing Partnership with MasterCard International

In November 2012, Versapay signed a marketing agreement with MasterCard International. This partnership gave merchants using Versapay's proprietary platform preferential pricing in an effort to help drive new credit card usage in markets traditionally limited by low margins and that was historically cheque-driven.

### Referral and Processing Agreement with Toronto Dominion Bank

In May 2013, Versapay announced a referral and processing agreement with TD Merchant Services, an operating division of TD Bank. This relationship allowed Versapay to process business-to-business electronic payment methods on Versapay's cloud-based payment processing service. The service is to be offered to North American Merchants sourced by TD and Versapay.

### Leadership Change

In May 2010, shortly after the company's successful IPO on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the founder and CEO Michael Gokturk was abruptly replaced by the board of directors. Bill McGill, the company's CFO at the time, assumed the role of CEO. Michael Gokturk resurfaced in January 2011 to launch his new payments company Payfirma, which was the first in Canada to deploy mobile payments on smartphones. In September 2013, Versapay announced the departure of Bill McGill as CEO. Craig O'Neill, previously the co-founder and CEO of Xeye (sold to Odyssey Financial Technologies) - was appointed CEO of Versapay.

### Board Change

In August 2014, Versapay announced Jason Gurandiano resigned as Chairman Of the board of directors. Art Mesher, previously CEO and chairman of the board of The Descartes Systems Group was appointed new chairman of the board of Versapay.

### Sale of Merchant Services Division

January 2017, Versapay received shareholder approval for the sale of its Merchant Services division for proceeds up to $11,000,000. As part of this transition, BluePay (the purchaser) has acquired the Montreal office and its staff (except for Patrick MacDonald who has been in the President position with the company since 2007) and all related agents, associations and processing partner relationships related to the merchant services business. The transaction was successfully completed on February 1, 2017.

### Fintech

After completing the sale of its merchant services division in 2017, Versapay became focused on offering its Accounts Receivable SaaS solution \- Versapay ARC, and started onboarding enterprise accounts on its platform throughout North America. Versapay announced in July 2017 that Royal Bank of Canada had partnered with Versapay to white-label the ARC solution and offer it to their customer base.

Later in May 2018, Versapay announced a partnership with First Data to become a Payment Facilitator, starting in Canada and the US, as part of its global merchant acquiring strategy to support worldwide payment acceptance for its customer base.

### Take Private Transaction

In December 2019, Great Hill Partners a Boston-based growth-oriented private equity firm, tendered an all-cash offer to acquire Versapay for an estimated $129 million in a take private transaction.

### Partnership with Great Hill Partners

In February 2020, Versapay Corporation partnered with Great Hill Partners (Great Hill), a Boston-based leading private equity firm focused on development. This relationship reflects a continued dedication to promoting the growth of SaaS-enabled businesses, and will include the tools required by the Versapay team to pursue their global expansion.

### Acquisition of DadeSystems

On April 18, 2022, Versapay completed its acquisition of U.S.-based fintech company DadeSystems. DadeSystems has been a long-term technology partner of Versapay, offering their flagship product, DadePay, to automate cash application.

## Leadership

In July 2020, Versapay reported the appointment to its Executive Leadership Team of three new members. Keith Reed became a Chief Sales Officer, Bob Stark succeeds as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and Philip Pettinato becomes Chief Technical Officer (CTO).

Carey O'Connor was announced as the new CEO on March 7, 2023, replacing Craig O'Neill.

title: Moyongna

abstract: Moyongna, alternatively spelled Moyonga, was a coastal Tongva village or landmark site located near the entrance of Newport Bay in Newport Beach, California near Corona del Mar. As a coastal village, the usage of te'aats was likely important to the village's people. Nearby coastal villages included Genga, located on Newport Mesa, and Lupukngna, located near the mouth of the Santa Ana River. The root word Moyo in the Tongva language has been linked with Corona del Mar, similar to Lupuk being linked with Bolsa Chica. The site may have been too disturbed by urbanization to note any precise location. Some researchers have placed the location at the Newporter Inn in Corona Del Mar, which was built in the early 1960s, although others have referred to this as based on scanty evidence. As noted in 1962, signs of Indigenous inhabitance along this area of the coast was common: "Almost every ridge that ends at the sea between Corona del Mar and Dana Point has its soil flecked with charcoal, marine shells, and bits of bone." In one map of the area published in 1978, the village was incorrectly labeled as Mocuachem, a Payómkawichum village that was otherwise recorded in most other sources as located in the Las Pulgas area.

# VfL 93 Hamburg

**VfL 93 Hamburg** is a German association football club from the city of Hamburg.

The club's greatest success has been to earn promotion to the tier three Regionalliga Nord, where it played for three seasons between 1994 and 1998.

## History

Formed in 1893, *VfL* played for much of its history as a local amateur club before making a brief appearance in the Landesliga Hamburg, then the highest league in the state of Hamburg, from 1973 to 1975. The club began its rise through the league system once more in the late 1980s when a local Bezirksliga championship in 1989 took the team up to the tier five Landesliga Hamburg-Hansa. In this league it immediately won another championship and earned promotion to the Hamburg's highest league, the Verbandsliga Hamburg. The team became a dominant side at this level, too but missed out on a third consecutive promotion in 1991 despite winning the league. The following season it finished runners-up but, this time, was promoted. The club played the next two seasons in the tier three Oberliga Nord, finishing eleventh on both occasions. The later one, in 1994, qualified the team for the newly introduced Regionalliga Nord, the new third tier in Northern Germany.

*VfL* played three seasons in the Regionalliga, finishing twelfth in 1995 but being relegated the season after when it came only sixteenth. Back in the Oberliga, now the Oberliga Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein, the club won promotion back to the Regionalliga. The 1997–98 season became the club's best at this level, finishing eleventh but choosing to withdraw from the league at the end of season.

*VfL* stepped down two levels, entering the Verbandsliga for the 1998–99 season. It dropped another level after being relegated in 1999, won promotion back up in 2000 and played in the Verbandsliga for the next six season until a league title took it back up to the re-introduced Oberliga Nord. *VfL* dropped from this level back to the Verbandsliga and stayed in the league for another season when it was renamed to Oberliga Hamburg after the Oberliga Nord was disbanded again in 2008. The club dropped from there as far as the tier seven Bezirksliga, recovered and won the Landesliga Hamburg-Hammonia in 2014 but instead of taking up promotion to the Oberliga opted to drop down to the tier nine Kreisklasse, where its reserve team previously played.

A league championship in the Kreisklasse in 2015–16 took the club back up to the Kreisliga Hamburg.

title: Pfaffian orientation

abstract: In graph theory, a Pfaffian orientation of an undirected graph assigns a direction to each edge, so that certain cycles have an odd number of edges in each direction. When a graph has a Pfaffian orientation, the orientation can be used to count the perfect matchings of the graph. This is the main idea behind the FKT algorithm for counting perfect matchings in planar graphs, which always have Pfaffian orientations. More generally, every graph that does not have the utility graph K 3, 3 as a graph minor has a Pfaffian orientation, but K 3, 3 does not, nor do infinitely many other minimal non-Pfaffian graphs.

# Pfaffian orientation

In graph theory, a **Pfaffian orientation** of an undirected graph assigns a direction to each edge, so that certain cycles (the "even central cycles") have an odd number of edges in each direction. When a graph has a Pfaffian orientation, the orientation can be used to count the perfect matchings of the graph. This is the main idea behind the FKT algorithm for counting perfect matchings in planar graphs, which always have Pfaffian orientations. More generally, every graph that does not have the utility graph $K\_{3,3}$ as a graph minor has a Pfaffian orientation, but $K\_{3,3}$ does not, nor do infinitely many other minimal non-Pfaffian graphs.

## Definitions

A **Pfaffian orientation** of an undirected graph is an orientation in which every even central cycle is oddly oriented. The terms of this definition have the following meanings:

* An orientation is an assignment of a direction to each edge of the graph.
* A cycle $C$ is even if it contains an even number of edges.
* A cycle $C$ is central if the subgraph of $G$ formed by removing all the vertices of $C$ has a perfect matching; central cycles are also sometimes called alternating circuits.
* Cycle $C$ is oddly oriented if each of the two orientations of $C$ is consistent with an odd number of edges in the orientation.

## Application to counting matchings

Pfaffian orientations have been studied in connection with the FKT algorithm for counting the number of perfect matchings in a given graph. In this algorithm, the orientations of the edges are used to assign the values $\pm 1$ to the variables in the Tutte matrix of the graph. Then, the Pfaffian of this matrix (the square root of its determinant) gives the number of perfect matchings. Each perfect matching contributes $\pm 1$ to the Pfaffian regardless of which orientation is used; the choice of a Pfaffian orientation ensures that these contributions all have the same sign as each other, so that none of them cancel. This result stands in contrast to the much higher computational complexity of counting matchings in arbitrary graphs.

## Pfaffian graphs

A graph is said to be Pfaffian if it has a Pfaffian orientation. Every planar graph is Pfaffian. An orientation in which each face of a planar graph has an odd number of clockwise-oriented edges is automatically Pfaffian. Such an orientation can be found by starting with an arbitrary orientation of a spanning tree of the graph. The remaining edges, not in this tree, form a spanning tree of the dual graph, and their orientations can be chosen according to a bottom-up traversal of the dual spanning tree in order to ensure that each face of the original graph has an odd number of clockwise edges.

More generally, every $K\_{3,3}$-minor-free graph has a Pfaffian orientation. These are the graphs that do not have the utility graph $K\_{3,3}$ (which is not Pfaffian) as a graph minor. By Wagner's theorem, the $K\_{3,3}$-minor-free graphs are formed by gluing together copies of planar graphs and the complete graph $K\_{5}$ along shared edges. The same gluing structure can be used to obtain a Pfaffian orientation for these graphs.

Along with $K\_{3,3}$, there are infinitely many minimal non-Pfaffian graphs. For bipartite graphs, it is possible to determine whether a Pfaffian orientation exists, and if so find one, in polynomial time.

# Phil Rees (greyhound trainer)

**Phil Rees Sr.** (1914-1986) was an English greyhound trainer. He was three times British champion trainer and a winner of the English Greyhound Derby.

## Early life

He worked as a Fleet Street rep, an advertising rep and a greengrocer before training greyhounds on the Welsh flapping tracks (independent tracks). He then became a kennel hand for Ernie Pratt, at Slough Stadium.

## Career

After taking out a private trainers licence his first major success came in 1961, when a greyhound called Long Story won the Gold Collar. Just one month later the Derby final favourite Oregon Prince finished runner-up in the 1961 English Greyhound Derby. The greyhound made amends by then winning the Welsh Greyhound Derby.

In 1963 he won the Oaks for the first time with Cranog Bet and the bitch repeated the feat the following year before Rees joined Wimbledon Stadium from Clapton Stadium as a contracted trainer.

Shady Parachute qualified for the 1967 English Greyhound Derby final finishing fourth and one year later Rees had a second and fourth place finish in the final. Shady Parachute was an overwhelming favourite but failed to secure the title, but did win the 1968 Oaks.

After a few quieter years Rees finally won the sports biggest prize when Mutts Silver won the 1976 English Greyhound Derby.

In 1978, he retired and transferred the Burhill kennels in Walton-on-Thames to his son Philip Rees Jr. His grandson Richard Rees became a third generation trainer at the Burhill Kennels in 2008.

## Awards

He was a three times winner of the Greyhound Trainer of the Year in 1968, 1969 and 1976.

# Jimmy (2013 film)

***Jimmy*** is a 2013 drama film directed by Mark Freiburger and based on the novel by Robert Whitlow, who co-wrote the adaptation with Freiburger and producer Gary Wheeler.

## Plot

The central character of the film is a challenged fourteen-year-old cognitively impaired boy named Jimmy Mitchell (portrayed by Ian Colletti). In the quaint town of Pinery Grove, Georgia, he lives under the loving care of his family, striving to overcome the day-to-day struggles that surface.

While deprived of mental normality, he is naturally gifted with a unique capacity to *see beyond* what most see. A supernatural element coincides with his natural gift, as angelic beings he calls "Watchers", are seen throughout his everyday experiences.

His profound sense of observation leads him into trouble when stumbling onto *the wrong place at the wrong time* (which proves an arbitrary habit for Jimmy), as he must testify in a pivotal trial what he bore witness to.

## Cast

## Production

Producer Gary Wheeler had previously directed two adaptations of author Robert Whitlow's novels, *The List* (2007) and *The Trial* (2010), and had chosen to only co-write and produce the film adaptation of *Jimmy*, a Whitlow novel published in 2005. He gave a copy of the novel to Mark Freiburger, who had co-written the previous adaptations, with the suggestion of his directing the film adaptation.

**Joachim von Rohr** (January 23, 1678  September 9, 1757) was a lieutenant colonel for the Swedish Empire and Commandant of the Dalarö fortress. He participated in the Battle of Poltava and was captured and held as a prisoner of war in Solikamsk in Russia.

## Biography

Joachim was born on January 23, 1678 (old style) in Sweden. He was the son of Hans Christoffer von Rohr (1626–1700) who was killed in action during the Battle of Narva; and Anna Catharina Cronman. Anna was the daughter of Hans Detterman Cronman. Joachim married Catharina Charlotta Klingenberg (1680–1758) on February 4, 1699 (old style) in Sweden. Together they had the following children:

* Anna Elisabeth von Rohr (1700–1744) who married Anders Örbom (1675–1740) who was a captain in the Swedish Army. Örbom was born in Örebro, Sweden on May 9, 1675. His father was a man named Brask, who was a District Court Judge in Örebro. Anders joined the military in 1691 and he took part in the campaign at Humlebæk on Zealand, a Danish island where Copenhagen is located, in 1700. On July 7, 1701, he left camp and on July 9, 1701, he crossed the Düna River in Riga in Ukraine. There they conquered the Saxony troops and took about 700 prisoners. He fought in the Battle of Klissow on July 7, 1702, and the Battle of Pułtusk on April 21, 1703. He participated in the Battle of Reusch-Lemberg in 1704, and the Battle of Fraustadt on February 3, 1706, and was promoted to lieutenant with Jämtland's rifle regiment. He participated on July 4, 1708, in the Battle of Holowczyn. He was wounded with a bullet to the face. The bullet remained lodged in his skull the remainder of his life. He also participated in the Battle of Lakowitz. He was captured on the Dnieper River, in Ukraine on July 1, 1709, and was taken to Russia as a prisoner of war along with other officers following the Surrender at Perevolochna. All the soldiers were executed, and the officers were imprisoned in Russia. He married Anna Elisabeth Von Rohr (1701-1744) on September 5, 1719, in Solikamsk, Russia. Together Anders and Elisabeth had their first child in Russia. Captain Anders Örbom died on May 25, 1740, and he was buried in Rödön, Sweden on June 5, 1740.
* Lucia Dorotea von Rohr (1702)
* Lunetta von Rohr II (1704–1764) who married Baron Gustaf Adolf Clodt (1692–1738). He was the son of Baron Johan Adolph Clodt von Jurgensburg

* Gustaf Johan von Rohr (1723–1739)
* Maria Margareta von Rohr (1725–1778) who married Gustaf Mannerstedt (1713–1756).

Joachim von Rohr was taken prisoner on June 28, 1709, during the Battle of Poltava just before the Surrender at Perevolochna. Joachim along with his wife and daughter were sent to Siberia. His firstborn daughter, Anna von Rohr married Anders Örbom (1675–1740) while in Solikamsk in Russia. At the war's end, Joachim and his family were allowed to return to Sweden. He became the Commandant of Dalarö on January 23, 1743, and he died on September 9, 1757.

**Philip J. "P.J." Crowley** (born July 28, 1951) is the former United States Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, having been sworn into office on May 26, 2009. He resigned on March 13, 2011, following comments he made about the treatment of Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning.

Crowley was named the 2011-2012 recipient of the General Omar N. Bradley Chair in Strategic Leadership, a joint initiative among the United States Army War College, Dickinson College and the Pennsylvania State University – Dickinson School of Law. While in residence, Crowley conducted classes at the three institutions. He is currently teaching at George Washington University and is affiliated with the university's Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication.

## Biography

Crowley was born in Brockton, Massachusetts. His mother, Mary Crowley, was a homemaker. His father, William C. Crowley, was a vice president for public relations with the Boston Red Sox, and a former U.S. Army Air Forces B-17 pilot, who spent two years as a POW in a German POW camp.

Crowley was educated at the College of the Holy Cross, graduating with a B.A. in English in 1973. He joined the United States Air Force in June 1973. He spent 26 years in the Air Force, and was stationed in New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Colorado, Washington, Turkey, and Germany.

During the Gulf War, Crowley was stationed at Incirlik Air Base for four months. In 1997, he was named senior director of public affairs for the United States National Security Council and Special Assistant to the President for national security affairs. During the Kosovo War, he worked with Javier Solana, Secretary General of NATO from April to June 1999. He retired from the Air Force in September 1999 at the rank of Colonel.

In 2001, Crowley became a vice president of the Insurance Information Institute, specializing in the impact of terrorism on insurance in the wake of the September 11 attacks. He then joined the Center for American Progress as a senior fellow in 2003, later becoming the Center's director of national defense and homeland security.

## Public service career

In 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Crowley to be Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs. Crowley was sworn into office on May 26, 2009.

He was noted for his dry wit: when reminding Americans on the ban on visiting North Korea, he pointed out on Twitter that "we only have a handful of former presidents" to visit North Korea and retrieve captured Americans. He was forced to apologize to Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi after telling an interviewer that Gaddafi's speech to the United Nations did not make "a lot of sense".

### Chelsea Manning controversy

On March 10, 2011, Crowley publicly criticized the Pentagon for the alleged mistreatment of military prisoner Chelsea (then known as Bradley) Manning, the U.S. soldier suspected of providing whistle-blower website WikiLeaks with classified diplomatic cables.

Crowley told an audience of about twenty people at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Future Civic Media that while Manning was "in the right place," she was being mistreated by the United States Department of Defense. Crowley called the Defense Department's treatment of Manning "ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid." When asked "Are you on the record?" by British journalist Philippa Thomas, Crowley replied "Sure."

His remarks, revealed in Thomas's blog, caused anger in the White House. On March 13, 2011, Crowley resigned from office. In his resignation letter, Crowley stood by his remarks, writing that while the "unauthorized disclosure of classified information is a serious crime under U.S. law", the "exercise of power in today's challenging times and relentless media environment must be prudent and consistent with our laws and values".

title: Philip Glazebrook

abstract:
Major Philip Kirkland Glazebrook, DSO was a British businessman and Conservative politician. He was killed in action in the First World War. He was the son of John Knowles Glazebrook and Cecilia Anne Esther (née Watson) of Twemlow Hall, Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, and was educated at Eton College and New College, Oxford. He was a partner in the firm of Spurrier and Glazebrook Limited, oil merchants, Manchester. He held the rank of captain in the Cheshire Yeomanry. He was unmarried. In December 1910 he was chosen as Conservative candidate to contest the constituency of Manchester South at the general election. However, due to an error by his election agent, he arrived at Manchester Town Hall six minutes after nominations had closed, resulting in the unopposed election of the sitting Liberal MP, Arthur Haworth. In February 1912 Haworth was appointed as a Junior Lord of the Treasury, requiring him to seek re-election in a by-election. Glazebrook was the Conservative candidate, and a vigorous campaign was held, with the main issues being woman suffrage, Home Rule and National Insurance. Glazebrook managed to unseat Haworth, winning the seat by 579 votes. With the outbreak of war in 1914, the Cheshire Yeomanry were mobilised, and Glazebrook served in Egypt and Palestine. He advanced to the rank of major, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in February 1918. The citation read:
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When, by the capture of a neighbouring height, the enemy had rendered the position of two companies most precarious because they now came under concentrated machine-gun fire from their left rear, he immediately went to the most threatened spot, and by his courageous bearing and great coolness was responsible for the safe withdrawal of these companies. The unfailing energy and resolution shown by this officer were most noticeable. In March 1917 the Cheshire Yeomanry were merged with the Shropshire Yeomanry to form an infantry unit: the 10th Battalion, The King's. Major Glazebrook was killed in action on 7 March 1918 at Bireh, near Jerusalem and is buried in the Jerusalem British War Cemetery. There is a memorial to him at St Luke's Church, Goostrey. Glazebrook is commemorated on Panel 8 of the Parliamentary War Memorial in Westminster Hall, one of 22 MPs that died during World War I to be named on that memorial. Glazebrook is one of 19 MPs who fell in the war who are commemorated by heraldic shields in the Commons Chamber. A further act of commemoration came with the unveiling in 1932 of a manuscript-style illuminated book of remembrance for the House of Commons, which includes a short biographical account of the life and death of Glazebrook.
