However it is also possible for other children to attend the ESM . The current headmaster is Drs. Rudolph Ensing . The current vice-headmistress of the Primary School is Dana Pavlicíková , and the current vice-headmaster of the Secondary School is Anton Hrovath .   The school moved to its current site in Neuperlach , a district in the south-east of Munich , in 1981 .

In the primary school there are the blue , orange stars and the more modern silver star . In the secondary school there are the green , red , and yellow stars , as well as the science Building and the `` Grüner Container '' . In both the primary and secondary school the stars are built triangularly around an `` aula '' . These aulas are where the secondary pupils may spend their free time , and where the primary school students put on plays .   The old kindergarten was demolished in 2006 , and a new building has been built on this site which houses the new canteen and cafeteria on the ground floor and on the upper floors has specially utilized science labs . There is a bridge from the secondary school building to this new building which is heated and has large glass windows , like in airports . A new kindergarten now exists facing onto the Putzbrunner Straße away from the school .   A tunnel leads from the main building to three large sports halls , and one smaller hall called the `` Europahalle '' . Above these sports halls are three large rooms called Erasmus , Schuman , and Monnet . In these rooms meetings and examinations are held .   The growth of the school means that a further Lila container will be built which should be ready by autumn 2014 . This only an intermediary measure since a further school building has been planned , at another site , which is planned to be finished by 2017 .

neg: Mayflower School May flower School was founded in January 27 , 1956 by Dr. Tai Solarin , a Nigerian educator , humanist and civil rights pioneer , who was married to Sheila Mary Tuer , an English woman ; they had two children Corin and Tunde Solarin . The school is located on a vast piece of land in Ikenne , Ogun State , Nigeria . Named after the historical Mayflower ship that brought the first batch of pilgrims to the United States . Like the pilgrims , Solarin founded the school in personal rebellion against religious persecution .   Mayflower preaches a very strong educational philosophy grounded in self-reliance , self-sacrifice , public service and physical toughness . In Solarin 's words , the students must be `` rugged . '' Since the school was first established , in the boarding house , female students are forbidden from using any form of cosmetics . A rigorous , military-style living regimen requires that every student wake up at 5:00 am for a round of moderate physical exercise which involved running and in-field stretches . In his days , Dr. Solarin would often be the first to show up for these exercises . He urged his students to always `` lead by example . ''   The school 's motto is `` Knowledge is Light '' and it is noted for the outstanding quality of its graduates , many of whom are leaders in Nigeria and abroad .   Every student is taught the basics of rudimentary and mechanized farming as part of a well rounded , self-sustaining education .   The students wear a uniform styled after Tai Solarin 's trademark apparel -- simple khaki shorts and short-sleeve shirts . This applies to both male and female students . Graduates of the school are called `` Ex-Mays . ''   The school 's sound academic reputation has produced a long record of achievements , including the first female engineer in sub-Saharan Africa .   In 1962 a team of 13 American college and university students spent June and July at Mayflower under the sponsorship of Operation Crossroads Africa . The team worked with counterpart students from Wesley College , Ibadan , to construct a building that would serve as a library for the school . The team was led by the then College Chaplain of Alma College , Alma , Michigan . As a consequence of the Crossroads experience , a relationship was formed between Alma and Mayflower School . Between 1963 and 1988 , annually , an Alma College student spent the year as a teacher at Mayflower . In the course of the relationship several Mayflower students studied at , and graduated from , Alma College ; and Tai Solarin was awarded the college 's honorary degree .

neg: Biltmore Conference The Biltmore Conference , also known by its resolution as the Biltmore Program , was a fundamental departure from traditional Zionist policy with its demand `` that Palestine be established as a Jewish Commonwealth . '' The meeting was held in New York City at the prestigious Biltmore Hotel from May 6 to May 11 , 1942 with 600 delegates and Zionist leaders from 18 countries attending . The Biltmore Program has been described by a number of historians as `` a virtual coup d'etat '' within the Zionist movement , in which more moderate leaders were replaced with leaders with more aggressive goals .   Prior to Biltmore , official Zionism steadfastly refused to formulate the ultimate aim of the movement preferring instead to concentrate on the practical task of building the Jewish National Home . The Biltmore Program became the official Zionist stand on the ultimate aim of the movement . According to Ben-Gurion , the `` first and essential '' stage of the program was the immigration of two million additional Jews to Palestine , a target which later became official Zionist policy after being revised downwards in the One Million Plan . There was no reference to the Arab population of Palestine , and , according to Anita Shapira , marked a transition to the view that conflict was inevitable between the Arabs and Jews , and could only resolved by the sword .   The major shift at Biltmore was prompted by intense common opposition to the British White Paper of 1939 , which interpreted the terms of the Mandate in a way that would freeze `` the Jewish community to a permanent minority status , '' and the then-current war negative situation . It was also prompted by the realization that America would play a larger part in fulfillment of Zionist designs after the war .   Official Zionism 's firm , unequivocal stand did not please every one , however . The pro-British Chaim Weizmann had bristled at them and bi-nationalists such as Henrietta Szold and Judah L. Magnes rejected them and broke off to establish their own party , Ichud ( Unification ) , that advocated an Arab -- Jewish Federation . Opposition to the Biltmore Program also lead to the founding of the anti-Zionist American Council for Judaism .   Various Zionist organizations were represented in the American Emergency Committee of Zionist Affairs , which called an `` Extraordinary Zionist Conference '' as a substitute for the full ( 22nd ) Zionist Congress which had been cancelled due to World War II . Attendees included Chaim Weizmann , as President of the World Zionist Organization , David Ben-Gurion as Chairman of the Jewish Agency Executive , and Nahum Goldmann as a member of the Executive of the Zionist Organization of America . The four main organisations of American Jewry represented were : the Zionist Organization of America , Hadassah , Mizrahi , and Poale Zion . Among the American organizers was Reform Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver .

neg: Kfar Brandeis Kfar Brandeis ( lit : Brandeis village ) is a neighborhood in the Israeli city of Hadera .   Kfar Brandeis was founded as a rural village in 1927 , and was named after Louis Brandeis , an American Jewish supreme court judge and the founder of `` The Economic Company for the Land of Israel '' . The company purchased land South of the moshava Hadera from a Bedouin clan in order to settle forty families there . Each family received a farm of 20 chickens and one cow , a share in a joint orchard and a small home with one room , a small kitchen and a balcony .   Towards the end of 1928 , the forty houses were ready to house the new settlers , and the company had also given comfort purchasing conditions . As time went by , the farms began to grow but there were no jobs to provide the settlers ' daily needs . There was an attempt to grow Jasmine flowers for the Baron Rothschild 's perfume factory in Binyamina , but this did n't work out .   During the 1929 Palestine riots the citizens of Kfar Brandeis were evacuated to the nearest Hadera , although the men returned to guard the settlement , armed with only one hunting gun and a few bayonets . The settlers also suffered during the 1936 -- 1939 Arab revolt in Palestine , as Arab mobs destroyed part of their orchard and murdered a number of citizens .   Kfar Brandeis was integrated into Hadera in 1951 , 3 years after the foundation of The State of Israel . The village retained its independence regarding to water issues for many years after , but now is an integral part of the city .   Category : Hadera

neg: The Founding Myths of Israel The Founding Myths of Israel : Nationalism , Socialism , and the Making of the Jewish State is a book by Zeev Sternhell . It was published in Hebrew in 1995 , in French in 1996 and in English in 1998 . The stated purpose of the book is an analysis of the ideology and actions of labor Zionism in the period before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War . In that period labor Zionism 's leaders dominated the institutions of the Yishuv , the Jewish community in Palestine . Sternhell 's thesis is that the actions and decisions of the leaders of labor Zionism were guided by a nationalist ideology , and not by a socialist ideology . In the `` Introduction '' and the `` Epilogue '' Sternhell extrapolates this attitude of the leaders to Israeli politics and argues that nationalist policies have overshadowed social and liberal policies for a long time , and are still endangering Israel 's ability to develop as a free and open society .   Questions that Sternhell investigates are :  Was a unique synthesis between socialism and nationalism ever achieved in Palestine ?  Did the founders intend to create an alternative to bourgeois society , or did they renounce the social objective from the beginning as incompatible ?  Was equality a genuine goal , however longterm , or was it only a mobilizing myth ?  Was the nationalism of Labor Zionism and its practical expression , the conquering of the land , in any way special ?  Did it have a universalistic , humanistic and rationalistic basis that distinguished it from the nationalism flourishing in Eastern Europe ?  Did it ever have the potential to overcome the religious substance of Jewish nationalism , and thus establish a liberal , secular and open society , at peace with itself and its neighbours ?  Sternhell 's answer to the first five questions is `` no '' .   The book has received considerable attention . It was the topic of a conference at the distinguished Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem and the subject of the lead review in the weekly literary supplement of Ha'Aretz newspaper .

neg: 1967 Palestinian exodus The 1967 Palestinian exodus refers to the flight of around 280,000 to 325,000 Palestinians out of the territories captured by Israel during and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War , including the demolition of the Palestinian villages of Imwas , Yalo , and Bayt Nuba , Surit , Beit Awwa , Beit Mirsem , Shuyukh , Al-Jiftlik , Agarith and Huseirat and the `` emptying '' of the refugee camps of Aqabat Jaber and ʿEin as-Sultan . Approximately 145,000 of the 1967 Palestinian refugees were refugees from the 1948 Palestine War . By December 1967 , 245,000 had fled from the West Bank and Gaza Strip further into Jordan , 11,000 had fled from the Gaza Strip further into Egypt and 116,000 Palestinians and Syrians had fled from the Golan Heights further into Syria .   A United Nations Special Committee heard allegations of the destruction of over 400 Arab villages , but no evidence in corroboration was furnished to the Special Committee to investigate Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the population of the occupied territories .   Until 1967 , roughly half of all Palestinians still lived within the boundaries of former Mandatory Palestine , but the majority lived outside the territory from 1967 .   A 1971 United Nations report stated that : `` On the basis of the testimony placed before it or obtained by it in the course of its investigations , the Special Committee had been led to conclude that the Government of Israel is deliberately carrying out policies aimed at preventing the population of the occupied territories from returning to their homes and forcing those who are in their homes in the occupied territories to leave , either by direct means such as deportation or indirectly by attempts at undermining their morale or through the offer of special inducements , all with the ultimate object of annexing and settling the occupied territories . The Special Committee considers the acts of the Government of Israel in furtherance of these policies to be the most serious violation of human rights that has come to its attention . The evidence shows that this situation has deteriorated since the last mission of the Special Committee in 1970 . ''   After the psychological warfare unit made a visit to Qalqilya and many of the residents had fled , the UN representative Nils-Göran Gussing noted that 850 of the town 's 2,000 houses were demolished .


query: Stone Temple Pilots had an original member that was a singer.

pos: Stone Temple Pilots Stone Temple Pilots ( sometimes abbreviated as STP ) are an American rock band from San Diego , California , that originally consisted of Scott Weiland ( lead vocals ) , brothers Dean ( guitar ) and Robert DeLeo ( bass , backing vocals ) , and Eric Kretz ( drums ) . Since the band 's formation in 1989 , its line-up remained unchanged until the firing of Weiland in 2013 , who was replaced by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington . In 2015 , Bennington left the band to focus solely on Linkin Park . On December 3 , 2015 , Weiland was found dead on his tour bus prior to a performance with his band The Wildabouts . In 2016 , the band launched an online audition for a new lead vocalist .   After forming in 1989 under the name Mighty Joe Young , the band signed with Atlantic Records and changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots . The band found immediate success in 1993 upon releasing their debut album , Core ( 1992 ) , and went on to become one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s . The band released four more studio albums : Purple ( 1994 ) , Tiny Music ... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop ( 1996 ) , No. 4 ( 1999 ) and Shangri-La Dee Da ( 2001 ) , before separating in 2002 , after which the band members partook in various projects ( most notably Velvet Revolver and Army of Anyone ) . The band eventually reconvened in 2008 for a reunion tour , released a new self-titled album in 2010 , and actively toured until Chester Bennington 's departure . The band 's only material with Bennington was the EP High Rise in 2013 .   While initially displaying a sound typically identified as grunge early on in its career , further releases from the band expressed a variety of influences , including psychedelic rock , bossa nova and classic rock . The band 's evolution throughout the 1990s and early 2000s involved several tumultuous periods of commercial highs and lows , brought about in part by Weiland 's well-publicized struggles with drug addiction .

pos: Scott Weiland Scott Richard Weiland ( -LSB- ˈwaɪlənd -RSB- born Scott Richard Kline ; October 27 , 1967 -- December 3 , 2015 ) was an American musician , singer and songwriter .

He established himself as a solo artist as well , releasing three studio albums , two cover albums , a live album and collaborations with several other musicians since 1995 .   Though derided by critics early in his career , Weiland 's onstage persona was known as being flamboyant and chaotic ; he was also known for constantly changing his appearance and vocal style , his use of a megaphone in concert for vocal effect , as well as his battles with substance abuse . Now widely viewed as a talented and versatile vocalist , Weiland has been ranked in the Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists by Hit Parader ( No. 57 ) .

In December 2015 , Weiland died of an accidental drug overdose on his tour bus in Minnesota at the age of 48 . Upon his death , many critics and peers offered reevaluations of Weiland 's life and career , including David Fricke of Rolling Stone and Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins , the latter calling Weiland one of three `` voices of the generation '' alongside Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley .

neg: Mickey Champion Mickey Champion ( born Mildred Sallier April 9 , 1925 - November 24 , 2014 ) was an American blues singer . With a career spanning five decades , Champion is best remembered for her powerful vocals , and for guesting alongside other prominent musical acts .   Champion was born in Lake Charles , Louisiana . She was raised by her aunts and had her first experience as a singer at Lake Charles Christian Methodist Episcopal Church , where her grandfather was a bishop . Admired for the quality and intensity of her religious singing , she became part of a vocal trio , and while in high school was heard and praised by bandleader Louis Jordan . However , Champion , upon her family 's insistence , was required to turn down an offer by Jordan to join his troupe . Shortly after graduating from high school , Champion married her first husband , Norman Champion , and in 1945 the couple moved to Los Angeles . Originally working as Little Mickey Champion , she soon lead an active career in the cities bustling nightclub scene .   The marriage between Mickey and Norman Champion was brief and soon ended in divorce . As her notoriety for her powerful vocalizing without the use of any microphones grew , Champion expanded her performing outside Los Angeles alongside other musical acts such as T-Bone Walker , Little Esther Phillips , Billie Holiday , Duke Ellington , Ray Charles , and Jackie Wilson in the late 1940s and early 1950s . Among one of her collaborators was Roy Milton , who Champion married , recorded several sides with in the mid-1950s , and stayed with until Milton 's death in 1983 . In addition , Champion recorded four singles , along with several demos .   In the 1960s , Champion withdrew from touring to focus on her family , but still performed in nightclubs on weekends . After a long hiatus , she returned to recording , producing two albums I am Your Loving Legend ! and What You Want both on Tandef Records .   Champion suffered several strokes before dying on November 24 , 2014 in Los Angeles .

neg: Hearts & Flowers Hearts & Flowers was a Los Angeles folk rock club band , perhaps most significant as one of the groups that launched the career of Eagles ' founding member and guitarist-songwriter , Bernie Leadon . The lineup included Larry Murray ( vocals , guitar ) , Dave Dawson ( vocals , guitar , autoharp ) , and Rick Cunha ( vocals , guitar ) .   The individual members met at the ongoing Monday night jam sessions being held at The Troubador over which Murray presided . Cunha and Dawson , who played in a duo , were newcomers as recent transplants to the area from Hawaii . After a few informal picking sessions , the trio gelled and started performing .   `` We had a unique sound , a very strange sound , particularly because we found what we did best was old , traditional , country hillbilly music , Murray told John Einarson . `` That became the core of what we did , the three of us , and we took it from there . ''   The group 's sound was described as `` Merle Haggard-meets-Sgt . Pepper '' as a result of the wide-ranging influences each member brought to Hearts & Flowers . This included the aforementioned Haggard , plus Buck Owens , The Louvin and Everly brothers , The Country Gentlemen , The Beatles , and Bob Dylan . With such unorthodox influences -- plus the fact that the band featured autoharp -- , the group was torn about the direction it wanted to take . `` Had it been up to us , we would have gone way country , '' said Cunha . `` We wanted it to be commercial and fit into the pop market , but left to our own devices it would have been even more country . Production changed what we would have done . ''   Meanwhile , Hearts & Flowers was influencing local musicians who heard them in various folk clubs around the Los Angeles area . This included several people who would later be credited with developing the then-germinating Southern California country-rock sound . Jim Messina ( Buffalo Springfield , Poco , Loggins and Messina ) says , `` Those three guys were probably the closest thing to what we were all flowing into . They were the cutting edge of where the rest of us were going . They were the black that did n't quite have the edge sharped on it yet . I got my first Telecaster from Rick Cunha . ''   The group signed a deal with Capitol Records ' Folk World label in December 1966 . Once in the studio , the trio was filled out with studio musicians and steered into a more folk direction . On the road , the group would be augmented with an ever-changing series of musicians including Terry Paul ( Kris Kristofferson ) , Pete Carr ( The Hour Glass ) , and Karen Carpenter ( The Carpenters ) .   Tensions over the direction of the group eventually came to a head . Cunha left the group in Fall 1967 to write country music and produce .   Leadon replaced Cunha for the second album in 1968 . Leadon was well known to Murray as they had played in the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers , a San Diego bluegrass group responsible for launching both those members ' careers as well as those of Chris Hillman ( The Byrds , The Flying Burrito Brothers , Manassas ) and Kenny Wertz ( The Flying Burrito Brothers , Country Gazette ) .   Among venues they played during the mid-1960s , were Los Angeles clubs Ledbetter 's , Doug Weston 's Troubadour , The Whisky-a-Go-Go , and the Ash Grove , primarily as an opening act . Some of the groups with whom they shared a bill included The Doors , Bill Monroe , The Buffalo Springfield , and Blue Cheer . After recording two albums without major success , the group disbanded in 1968 .   Murray claims the group was `` in a rut '' and each member was working with other , different musicians . `` But for a simple twist of fate , we could have been huge . We had what it took , we had a lot of charisma , the personality of the group was amazing . But I do n't think we were focused business-wise . We tended to go with losers , because they were less high-pressure , and we dodged the real pressure people whose asses we should have been kissing . But you do what you do . Everything we did seemed like a good idea at the time . ''   The timing of the break-up could n't have been worse . It was just prior to the release of the seminal country-rock album by The Byrds , Sweetheart of the Rodeo , and the subsequent formation of The Flying Burrito Brothers , both of which are credited with popularizing the genre .

neg: Elvis Presley's guitars Elvis Presley 's guitars were a major component of the iconic rock and roll image created by Elvis Presley that revolutionized popular culture in the 1950s and 1960s . It is impossible to gauge the impact of that image on millions of young people around the world who were inspired to learn to play guitar after watching Presley in performance , on television , or in films . Although not known for his abilities as a guitarist , Presley had a profound musical influence on some of the most important rock and roll artists to emerge since the 1950s , including Buddy Holly , John Lennon , Paul McCartney , George Harrison , Bob Dylan , and Bruce Springsteen . The extent of Presley 's impact on their lives and music is captured in John Lennon 's famous quote : `` Before Elvis , there was nothing . ''   According to his first lead guitarist , Scotty Moore , Presley was not `` an accomplished musician '' , yet he possessed `` an uncanny and amazing sense of timing and rhythm . '' In the early years of his career , Presley 's rhythm guitar accompaniment played a major role in the sound of his early performances and recordings . Moore noted that as Presley began to learn to move on stage and to work the audience with his physical performance , his guitar became more of a `` prop '' .   Presley was not known to treat his instruments in a gentle manner . His very aggressive strumming style would frequently break strings during his performances . The lack of a microphone on his guitar throughout those years contributed to the development of his `` aggressive style in attempt to be heard '' . As his career progressed , he became even more aggressive toward his instruments , frequently tossing his guitar to Charlie Hodge , who sometimes failed to catch it . The impact of the large belt buckles and jewelry he wore left their marks on most of his instruments .

neg: In Search of Amelia Earhart In Search of Amelia Earhart is the 1972 album by Plainsong , a band formed by country rock/folk rock musician Ian Matthews and Andy Roberts .   Ian Matthews played in four different incarnations within three years . He had left Fairport Convention for his own band , Matthews ' Southern Comfort , put out two solo LPs for Vertigo Records , and then started the band Plainsong .   It is probably fair to say that In Search of Amelia Earhart is the pinnacle of Matthews ' work in the 1970s . Working with producer Sandy Roberton ( Hard Meat , Steeleye Span , Shirley Collins ) , Ian and bandmates , notably Andy Roberts who shared vocals on the album , created an atypical British folk album conceived around the idea of the legends surrounding Amelia Earhart and her supposed demise .   Matthews had read a book by Fred Goerner hypothesizing that Earhart and her flying companion Frederick Noonan had crashed around the Japanese held Marshall Island area and been taken prisoner by the Japanese on Saipan , in the Marianas , in 1937 . Their plane had supposedly been outfitted with aerial cameras and had a bigger fuel tank than anyone outside of the US government knew . After being grilled by Japanese interrogators Earhart would perish of dysentery , and Noonan was beheaded by the Japanese .   Not all of the songs on the album are directly about Amelia Earhart . But the album carries that somber , mellow tone that so much great folk music of the early '70s was in touch with . Many of the songs are about seeing and reaching for light , whether they be the light of day or the light of death . So in a way the album is more about the way people felt about , cared about and thought about Amelia Earhart and her death . That she is still considered a heroine of aviation and a distinctly American hero keeps the mystery of what happened to her in the greater cultural imagination .

neg: Grammy Award for Best New Artist The Grammy Award for Best New Artist has been awarded since 1959 . Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out , for records released in the previous year . The award was not presented in 1967 . The official guidelines are as follows : `` For a new artist who releases , during the Eligibility Year , the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist . '' Note that this is not necessarily the first album released by an artist .   It is sometimes asserted , with varying degrees of sincerity , that winning the award is a curse , as several award winners ( particularly from the late 1970s and early 1980s ) were never able to duplicate the success they experienced in their debut year . This viewpoint was expressed by former Starland Vocal Band member Taffy Danoff in a 2002 interview for VH1 's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders : `` We got two of the five Grammys -- one was Best New Artist . So that was basically the kiss of death and I feel sorry for everyone who 's gotten it since . ''   The category is also notable for being the only one of its kind in which a Grammy Award was vacated . This occurred in 1990 after it was revealed winners Milli Vanilli did not contribute their own vocals on their debut album . The award was revoked , but was not handed out to another artist .   Of the 54 awards presented in the category since its inception , the honor has been presented to 25 solo female artists , 18 duos or groups , and 11 solo male artists . Between 1997 and 2003 , all the winners were solo female artists . Also , from 1993 to 2005 , no winner was a solo male artist . In 2006 , John Legend broke this trend , which started with Marc Cohn in 1992 . Only four artists have won both Best New Artist and Album of the Year in the same year : Bob Newhart in 1961 , Christopher Cross in 1981 , Lauryn Hill in 1999 and Norah Jones in 2003 .   Of all the winners , only three have been country artists . In 1997 , LeAnn Rimes became the first country artist to win the award . She was followed by Carrie Underwood in 2007 and Zac Brown Band in 2010 . Additionally , 2017 marked the first time that two country artists were nominated in this category in the same year .   1984 marked the first time that all of the nominees were from outside of the United States ( Winner Culture Club , Eurythmics , and Musical Youth were from England , Big Country was from Scotland , and Men Without Hats were from Canada ) .

pos: Paul Pierce Paul Anthony Pierce ( born October 13 , 1977 ) is an American former professional basketball player who played 19 seasons in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) . Pierce was a high school McDonald 's All-American and earned All-America first team honors in his junior year at Kansas .   Pierce spent the first fifteen years of his career with the Boston Celtics , who drafted him with the 10th overall pick in the 1998 NBA draft . He became a bone fide star as captain of the Celtics , earning ten All-Star nods and becoming a four-time All-NBA team member . After nine seasons of leading the Celtics as their sole star player , Pierce combined with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in 2007 to form a `` Big Three '' that together led Boston to the NBA Finals in 2008 and 2010 , winning the 2008 NBA Championship . Pierce was instrumental to the Celtics ' 2008 championship run , as he was awarded the Finals MVP after averaging 22 points per game . Pierce is one of only three players , alongside Larry Bird and John Havlicek , to score over 20,000 points in their career with the Celtics alone . He holds the Celtics ' record for most three-point field goals made and also ranks third in team history in games played , second in points scored , seventh in total rebounds , fifth in total assists , and first in total steals . He has also made the fourth most three-point field goals in NBA history , behind only Jason Terry , Reggie Miller and Ray Allen .

Although the honorees generally do not compete together as a unit , the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media . Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889 .   The NCAA recognizes four different All-America selectors for the 2005 college baseball season : the American Baseball Coaches Association ( since 1947 ) , Baseball America ( since 1981 ) , Collegiate Baseball ( since 1991 ) , and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association ( since 2001 ) .

neg: Paul C. Reinert Rev. Paul Clare Reinert , S.J. , ( August 12 , 1910 -- July 22 , 2001 ) was the president of Saint Louis University and a community leader in St. Louis , Missouri , USA .   During his twenty-five year tenure as president , Reinert transformed the university and was a vocal advocate for social justice . He was born on August 12 , 1910 , to Francis and Emma Reinert and died July 22 , 2001 , in St. Louis , Missouri . In 1927 , he entered the Society of Jesus and received both an A.B. ( 1927 ) and a M.A. ( 1934 ) from Saint Louis University . He then served as register at St. Mary 's College in Kansas before earning a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago ( 1944 ) . After completing his Ph.D. , he returned to Saint Louis University to serve as the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences ( 1944 -- 1948 ) , vice-president ( 1948 -- 1949 ) and president ( 1949 -- 1974 ) . After he retired from the presidency , he served as chancellor ( 1974 -- 1991 ) and chancellor emeritus ( 1991 -- 2001 ) until his death .   Reinert 's presidency of Saint Louis University marked a seminal period in the history of the university , Catholic education and American education in general . He faced an increased post-war enrollment in higher education and the necessary changes in curriculum . Under his administration , the university admitted women as regular students . In addition , while a junior administrator , he worked for the admission of the first African-American students to the university in 1944 . Saint Louis University thus became the first historically white university in a former slave state to admit African-American students .   As the country 's cities faced increased racial tensions and urban universities dealt with the dilemma of the `` white flight '' . Reinert committed the institution to remain in urban St. Louis , as other American universities left their urban origins . As a result , Reinert became a leader in the revitalization of the inner city of St. Louis and the promotion of St. Louis higher education . His 1958 appointment to the Missouri Governor 's Committee of Education beyond High School eventually led to the formation of the St. Louis Junior College District in 1962 upon the recommendation of Dr. Ernest V. Hollis of the U.S. Department of Education and Edward B. Shils . He also was the member of other important state , federal and Catholic education committees that established policies that set the standard for education in his time .   As a national leader in Catholic education , Reinert remained confident in the advantages that private Catholic colleges and universities offered to their communities . He sought to expand Saint Louis University 's campus and to create programs that would attract minority students to a historically white university . Under Reinert 's direction in 1967 , Saint Louis University became the first Catholic university to include lay member on its board of trustees . This reorganization initiated a trend that transformed Catholic higher education in America . In addition to this reorganization , he appointed lay professionals to high-ranking administrative positions in the university . Even though critics believed that Reinert 's decision conflicted with his position as a Jesuit and diluted the university 's Jesuit nature , Reinert and others believed that the changes both reaffirmed the Ignatian educational mission and broadened the university 's vision for the future . Moreover , his reorganization of the university demonstrated the increased status of the university and its dedication to serving the community . He continued to serve the community after his retirement as president in 1974 .   Reinert 's publications include two books concerning the status of Catholic higher education , The Urban Catholic University ( 1970 ) and To Turn the Tide ( 1972 ) , and a history of the university since the war , Seasons of Change : Reflections on Half a Century of Saint Louis University , co-authored with Paul Shore ( 1996 ) .   For his work , Reinert has been honored with a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame .

neg: Frank Lubin Frank John Lubin ( Pranas Jonas Lubinas January 7 , 1910 -- July 8 , 1999 ) was an Lithuanian American basketball player .   Lubin was born on the east side of Los Angeles , California , to a family of Lithuanian immigrants and died in Glendale , California . A veteran with the United States Army Air Forces during World War II , Lubin was buried at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside , California . His father Konstantinas Lubinas was from Vilkaviškis , while his mother Paulina Vasiliauskaitė was from Vabalninkas .   When Lubin grew up to a height of 6 feet 6 1/2 inches at Lincoln High School , classmates encouraged him to try out for the basketball team . Gangly and uncoordinated , Lubin struggled to improve his game , but was eventually named to the All-City Second Team as a senior in 1927 . Playing for the UCLA Bruins from 1928 to 1931 , Lubin , a 6-foot 7-inch center , earned All-Pacific Coast Conference honors in his senior season . Following his college career , he worked as a stagehand at Twentieth Century Fox and joined the studio 's AAU team , which earned the right to represent the US as part of the first Olympic basketball tournament in 1936 in Berlin , winning the gold .   During the Olympics , Lubin was invited to come to Lithuania and became their first national coach . They won the EuroBasket title in 1937 , using American-born players of Lithuanian heritage . When the team hosted the tournament in 1939 , they again won the title , this time with Lubin playing and coaching . Lubin undoubtedly was the MVP of EuroBasket 1939 , however he was unable to receive this award because he was taller than 1.90 meter , and FIBA had a rule which prohibited those awards for being given to players with such height .   When World War II broke out in 1939 , Lubin was in Italy , coaching a Lithuanian women 's team . Given Nazi Germany was directly on the path back to Lithuania , Italian officials had to help the team to get back through train and boat , avoiding Germany . Afterwards , Lubin fled Lithuania to California with his family in the face of the upcoming Soviet invasion that happened one year later . Lubin continued to play for the Twentieth Century Fox team until 1955 , when knee problems prompted him to retire . For his contributions and for introducing the now basketball-mad country to the sport , Lubin is often called the `` grandfather of Lithuanian basketball '' .   In 1997 , Lubin was inducted into the UCLA Hall of Fame . He was also inducted into the Helms Sports Hall of Fame .

neg: 2014 College Football All-America Team The 2014 College Football All-America Team includes those players of American college football who have been honored by various selector organizations as the best players at their respective positions . The selector organizations award the `` All-America '' honor annually following the conclusion of the fall college football season . The original All-America team was the 1889 College Football All-America Team selected by Caspar Whitney and Walter Camp . In 1950 , the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau , which is the National Collegiate Athletic Association 's ( NCAA ) service bureau , compiled the first list of All-Americans including first-team selections on teams created for a national audience that received national circulation with the intent of recognizing selections made from viewpoints that were nationwide . Since 1957 , College Sports Information Directors of America ( CoSIDA ) has bestowed Academic All-American recognition on male and female athletes in Divisions I , II , and III of the NCAA as well as National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics athletes , covering all NCAA championship sports .   The 2014 College Football All-America Team is composed of the following College Football All-American first teams chosen by the following selector organizations : Associated Press ( AP ) , Football Writers Association of America ( FWAA ) , American Football Coaches Association ( AFCA ) , Walter Camp Foundation ( WCFF ) , The Sporting News ( TSN ) , Sports Illustrated ( SI ) , USA Today ( USAT ) ESPN , CBS Sports ( CBS ) , College Football News ( CFN ) , Scout.com , and Yahoo! Sports ( Yahoo! ) .   Currently , the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men 's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources . The system consists of three points for a first-team honor , two points for second-team honor , and one point for third-team honor . Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points . Football consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American . Currently , the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP , AFCA , FWAA , TSN , and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans .
