Origins

The name Culann’s Hounds derives from the Irish folk story of Cuchulainn, a great Irish hero chronicled in the Tain. Cuchulainn, meaning the Hound of Culann, earned his name after killing (in self-defense) a fierce guard dog owned by the blacksmith Culann. The boy repaid the smith by guarding his house until a new dog could be raised.

Culann’s Hounds played their first public gig in spring of 1999 at the Blackthorn Tavern in San Francisco. Though initially sparsely attended, the up-tempo music attracted a crowd, establishing a tradition of Sunday afternoon gigs, sometimes called the Hounds’ Sunday Beer Social. Culann’s Hounds’ popularity grew and in 2001 they recorded and released their first, eponymously titled album. Their second album, Year of the Dog, was released March 17th, 2006 (St. Patrick’s Day) at the Great American Music Hall. The Hounds headlined the show; Quin (Band) and the Earl Brothers opened. The Hounds returned to the Great American Music hall for St. Patrick’s Day 2007 and 2008.

The Hounds are preparing material for a new album, which will feature more of their original compositions. Some of these tracks were released in 2007 (The House of Faith Session) and 2008 (One for the Road), though one for the road is comprised almost entirely of traditional songs.

In 1992 Xavier Gorostiaga, a well-known pro Sandinista economist and a Jesuit priest, was the rector of the UCA, a Jesuit-run and church-financed institution. Alejandro Serrano Caldera, who served the Sandinista government as president of the Supreme Court and Nicaraguan ambassador to the United Nations, was the rector of the state-financed UNAN in 1992. Both are well-known intellectuals who are viewed as bringing academic credibility and strength to the universities.

The universities have actively sought to protect their own interests. During the transition period, the country’s four state and two private universities were granted academic, financial, and administrative autonomy by the outgoing Sandinista legislature through the University Autonomy Law. The universities were also given the right to elect their own rectors, faculty council, and other governing bodies. Students, faculties, and administrators protested the Chamorro government’s attempts in May 1990 to have the National Assembly of Nicaragua suspend the electoral agreements in order to provide time for their review. The government backtracked, and the National Assembly eventually passed a law containing only minor reforms. University protests were not effective against the Chamorro government budget cuts for the universities, which passed the National Assembly in December 1991 with Sandinista support.

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor. (Discuss)

Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), are a family of cell surface proteins found on important cells of the immune system called natural killer (NK) cells. They regulate the killing function of these cells by interacting with MHC class I molecules, which are expressed on all cell types. This interaction allows them to detect virally infected cells or tumor cells that have a characteristic low level of Class I MHC on their surface. Most KIRs are inhibitory, meaning that their recognition of MHC suppresses the cytotoxic activity of their NK cell. Only a limited number of KIRs have the ability to activate cells. KIR molecules are highly polymorphic, meaning their gene sequences differ greatly between individuals, so that different individuals possess different arrays/repertoires of KIR genes.

Henry Labouchère

Henry Du Pré Labouchère (9 November 1831 – 15 January 1912) was a prominent English politician, writer, publisher and theatre owner in the Victorian era and Edwardian era. He married actress Henrietta Hodson.

Life and career

1881 Punch cartoon

Labouchère was born in London, into a family which had made a fortune in finance. He was the nephew of Whig politician Henry Labouchere, 1st Baron Taunton, who, despite disapproving of his rebellious nephew, helped the young man’s early career and left him a sizeable inheritance when he died leaving no male heir.

Early career

After being educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, Labouchère (without his prior knowledge) was found a place in the British diplomatic service by his family. Between 1854 and 1864, Labouchère served as a minor diplomat in Washington, DC, Munich, Stockholm, Frankfurt, St. Petersburg, Dresden, and Constantinople. He was, however, not known for his diplomatic demeanour, and after several acts of impudence over the years, he was finally dismissed from the service for refusing a posting to Buenos Aires.

The year after his dismissal, Labouchère was elected as a Member of Parliament for Windsor, as a Liberal. In 1867, he moved to a seat in Middlesex. In the 1868 election, he lost his seat, and did not return to the House of Commons for 12 years.

In 1867, Labouchère and his partners engaged architect C. J. Phipps and artists and Albert Moore and Telbin to remodel the large St. Martins Hall to create Queen’s Theatre, Long Acre. A new company of players was formed, including Charles Wyndham, Henry Irving, J. L. Toole, Ellen Terry, and Henrietta Hodson. By 1868, Hodson and Labouchère were living together out of wedlock, as they could not marry until her first husband died in 1887. Labouchère bought out his partners and used the theatre to showcase Hodson’s talents, although the theatre eventually sustained losses and closed in 1879, shortly after Hodson’s retirement from the stage. The couple finally married in 1887. Their one child together, Mary Dorothea (Dora) Labouchère, had been born in 1884. Hodson’s cousin was theatre producer George Musgrove.

Journalist and writer

Third verse of “When a gentleman supposes” from His Excellency by W. S. Gilbert.

During the break in his Parliamentary career, Labouchère gained renown as a journalist, editor, and publisher, sending witty dispatches from Paris during the siege in 1870. His style and fearlessness gained a large audience for first his reporting, and later his personal weekly journal, Truth (started in 1877), which was often sued for libel. Labouchère’s claims to being impartial were ridiculed by his critics, including W. S. Gilbert (who had been an object of Labouchère’s theatrical criticism) in Gilbert’s comic opera His Excellency (see illustration at right). In 1877, Gilbert had engaged in a public feud with Labouchère’s lover, Henrietta Hodson.

Return to Parliament

Labouchère returned to Parliament in the 1880 election, when he and Charles Bradlaugh, both Liberals, won the two seats for Northampton. (Bradlaugh’s then-controversial atheism led Labouchère, a closet agnostic, to refer sardonically to himself as “the Christian member for Northampton”.)

In 1885, Labouchère drafted the Labouchere Amendment, outlawing “gross indecency,” not a euphemism for sodomy which was already a crime but rather any other sexual activity between men. This amendment allowed for the prosecution, in 1895, of Oscar Wilde, who was incarcerated for the crime.

During the 1880s, the Liberal Party faced a split between a Radical wing (led by Joseph Chamberlain) and a Whig wing (led by the Marquess of Hartington), with its party leader, William Ewart Gladstone straddling the middle. Labouchère was a firm and vocal Radical, who tried to create a governing coalition between the Radicals and the Irish Nationalists that would exclude or marginalize the Whigs. This plan was wrecked in 1886, when, after Gladstone came out for Home Rule, a large contingent of both Radicals and Whigs chose to leave the Liberal Party to form a “Unionist” party allied with the Conservatives.

1892 political cartoon of Henry Labouchère as a hungry tramp, with Gladstone eyeing him grimly from within the parliamentary bakery.

Between 1886 and 1892, a Conservative government was in power, and Labouchère worked tirelessly to remove them from office. When the government was turned out in 1892, and Gladstone was called to form an administration, Labouchère expected to be rewarded with a cabinet post. Queen Victoria would not allow Gladstone to offer Labouchère an office, however; and the new Foreign Secretary, Lord Rosebery, was a personal enemy of Labouchère who would not offer him an ambassadorship.

After being snubbed for a second time by the Liberal leadership after their victory in the 1906 election, Labouchère resigned his seat, and retired to Florence. He died there seven years later, leaving a fortune of some two million pounds sterling to his daughter Dora, who was by then married to Carlo, Marchese di Rudini.

Frank Stanley Reasoner (September 16, 1937 – July 12, 1965) was an officer of the United States Marine Corps who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Vietnam War.

Biography

Reasoner was born in Spokane, Washington in 1937 and moved with his parents to Kellogg, Idaho, in 1948. Graduating from Kellogg High School in June 1955, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps three months before his 18th birthday.

Promoted to private first class after recruit training at the San Diego Recruit Depot in August, he went on to advanced infantry training at Camp Pendleton, California. He was designated an Airborne Radio Operator in 1956 upon completing Airman School, Naval Air Technical Training Center, Jacksonville, Florida, and the Communication Electronics School at San Diego. He was next assigned to Marine Wing Service Group 37, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, El Toro, California, and while there was promoted to Corporal.

He was transferred to the Naval Academy Preparatory School, Bainbridge, Maryland, in 1957, then served as a guard at Marine Barracks, Annapolis, Maryland. He was promoted to sergeant in January 1958, prior to receiving Congressional appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, sponsored by Senator Henry C. Dvorshak of Idaho.

Successfully completing the Academy’s entrance examinations in June 1958, Sgt Reasoner was transferred to the inactive Marine Corps Reserve and enrolled as a cadet. While at the Military Academy, he lettered in baseball and wrestling winning an unprecedented four straight Brigade boxing championships in four different weight classes. Upon graduation, June 6, 1962, he was awarded a B.S. degree and returned to the Marine Corps as a second lieutenant. He was promoted to first lieutenant in December of the following year.

First Lieutenant Reasoner completed Officers Basic School at Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia, in January 1963, then embarked for a three-year tour of duty with the Fleet Marine Force in the Pacific area.

During his entire overseas tour, he served with the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion. Assigned initially to the 1st Marine Brigade, at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, he served with Company B, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 4th Marines, and moved with his organization to Vietnam in April 1965. On June 20, 1965, he was designated Commanding Officer, Company A, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, the unit he was with when he was mortally wounded, aged 27.

A Marine Corps camp in Vietnam was named “Camp Reasoner” and dedicated to his memory. The hand-lettered sign near the gates of Camp Reasoner read: “…First Lieutenant Reasoner sacrificed his life to save one of his wounded Marines. ‘Greater Love Hath No Man’.” (See John 15:13 for “Greater love…” quote.)
