A. A. Ames
Albert Alonzo "Doc" Ames (January 18, 1842 – November 16, 1911) held several terms as mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the late 19th century and very early 20th century. He was known for his geniality and assistance of the poor, sometimes giving medical treatment to those who could not afford it. However, he became much more famous for leading the most corrupt government in the city's history. The story became known across the United States when muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens wrote an article in 1903 about the corruption and the efforts of a local grand jury to stop it. The article was later included in a collection of similar exposes in the book The Shame of the Cities, published in 1906.

Versailles
Versailles (), a city renowned for its château, the Palace of Versailles, was the de facto capital of the kingdom of France for over a century, from 1682 to 1789. It is now a wealthy suburb of Paris and remains an important administrative and judicial centre. Located in the western suburbs of the French capital, 17.1 km (10.6 mi) from the centre of Paris, the commune of Versailles is the préfecture (administrative seat) of the Yvelines department. According to the 2006 census, the population of the city is 89,490 inhabitants, down from a peak of 94,145 in 1975. Versailles is historically known for numerous treaties such as Treaty of Paris (1783), which ended the American Revolutionary War and the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I.

Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. (), formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. Article One of the United States Constitution provides for a federal district, distinct from the states, to serve as the permanent national capital. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the federal territory until an act of Congress in 1871 established a single, unified municipal government for the whole District. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C. The city shares its name with the U.S. state of Washington, which is located on the country's Pacific coast.

Real Madrid Vs Barcelona 1-2 All Goals (18/01/12) Barcelona Vs Real Madrid 1-2 All Goals & Match Highlights Barcelona Vs Real Madrid 1-2 All Goals & Match Highlights Barcelona Vs Real Madrid 1-2 All Goals & Match Highlights Real Madrid -- Barcelona January 18th, 2012 Question marks were directed at Barca keeper Pinto after just 11 minute as Benzema freed Cristiano Ronaldo with a fine pass and the Portugeezer drilled a low shot through the Catalan goalie's legs. Barca almost hit back instantly as Alexis Sanchez hit a sweet shot against Casillas' post. The Bernabeu was all wolf-whistles after Pepe hit the deck following a coming together with Gerard Pique. (First half highlights) Barcelona were level inside three minutes of the second half as Carles Puyol scored a diving header from a Xavi corner as Pepe fell asleep at the back post. Barca came close to taking the lead when Andres Iniesta hit the bar in the 54th. All eyes where on Pepe just after the hour as the Brazilian committed a dirty dive in an attempt to get Cesc booked. Pepe again courted the ire of onlookers in the 67th when he inexcusably stamped on Lionel Messi's hand. The Catalans turned the match in the 77th when Messi threaded a pass to Eric Adibal (offside?) on the left hand side and the Frenchman eased his shot past Casillas for 1-2.

Matt Hendricks (born June 17, 1981) is an American ice hockey forward who is currently playing with the Washington Capitals of the NHL.
Playing career
Hendricks was drafted out of high school, 131st overall, in the fourth round of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators. He played his prep hockey at Blaine High School in Blaine, Minnesota. He was an integral piece of the Blaine Bengals 2000 Class AA State Championship team where they defeated the Duluth East Greyhounds 6–0 in the final. Hendricks accumulated 110 points in 43 games during his prep career and was named a finalist for the 2000 Minnesota Mr. Hockey Award. The St. Paul Pioneer Press named Hendricks, along with teammates Brandon Bochenski and Matt Moore, to the second team of the All-State Boys hockey team.Hendricks was drafted by the Lincoln Stars during the 2000 USHL Winter Draft, but instead began his collegiate career with St. Cloud State University of the WCHA. Hendricks commenced play for St. Cloud State as a true freshman during the 2000-01 season. In 2002–03, Hendricks led the Huskies in goals (18) as a junior.
Immediately after his senior year with the Huskies, Hendricks made his professional debut with Nashville's minor league affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL, to end the 2003–04 season. After turning down a contract offer with the Predators, Hendricks became a free agent and signed with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL.
During his time with the Everblades in the 2004–05 season, Hendricks also signed a Professional Try-Out agreement with the Lowell Lock Monsters of the AHL, appearing in 15 games. Hendricks spent the 2005–06 season with the Rochester Americans before moving onto the Hershey Bears for the 2006–07 campaign.
Hendricks enjoyed a successful season in 2006–07 helping Hershey to the Calder Cup finals, adding 12 points in 19 play-off contests. Hendricks was signed by the Boston Bruins to a two-year deal on the July 9, 2007. He was then assigned to their affiliate, the Providence Bruins, where he established a career high 52 points in the 2007–08 season.
On June 24, 2008, Hendricks was traded by the Bruins to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for Johnny Boychuk. The Avalanche sent him to the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL for the 2008–09 season until he was recalled on March 9, 2009. Hendricks made his NHL debut with the Avalanche the next day on March 10, 2009, in a 3-0 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers.
In the 2009–10 season, Hendricks made the opening night roster for the Avalanche. On October 10, 2009, Matt scored his first NHL goal, in a 4-3 loss, against Cristobal Huet of the Chicago Blackhawks. He finished his first full NHL season with 9 goals and 16 points in 56 games while also earning the Avalanche's nomination for the Bill Masterton Trophy.
On September 27, 2010, he signed a one-year contract with the Washington Capitals after attending the team's training camp on a tryout basis. Hendricks signed with Washington based on his desire to play under the tutelage of head coach Bruce Boudreau, with whom he had previously played for with the Hershey Bears in 2006–07. He made his 2010–11 season debut with the Capitals on October 8, 2010, in a 4-2 defeat to the Atlanta Thrashers. He notched his first point, an assist, with Washington in his third game on October 11, 2010, versus the Ottawa Senators.
On February 23rd, 2011, he signed a two-year extension with the Washington Capitals worth $1.6 million.

René Gary Wayne Bourque (born December 10, 1981) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who currently plays for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). An undrafted player, Bourque was signed by the Chicago Blackhawks as a free agent in 2004 and made his NHL debut in 2005–06. He spent three years in Chicago before a 2008 trade sent him to Calgary where he has established himself as a key offensive player for the Flames.
Bourque is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, where he played four seasons of hockey and served as a co-captain in his senior year. He turned professional in 2004 when he joined the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL). He won the Dudley "Red" Garrett Memorial Award as the league's rookie of the year in 2004–05 before beginning his NHL career. Bourque has played for the Canadian national team at the 2010 IIHF World Championship.
Of Métis heritage, Bourque has initiated several charitable causes dedicated to encouraging aboriginal children and helping youth from rural Northern Alberta afford the cost of playing hockey. He's also fluent in French, he is a Franco-Albertan.
Early life
Bourque was born December 10, 1981 and spent his early childhood in Edmonton. His father, Wayne, works in the Canadian oil patch near Fort McMurray, while his mother, Barbara, is a social worker in Lac La Biche. Bourque has a fraternal twin sister, Chantal, and two elder sisters, Kim and Nadia, who are also fraternal twins. He is of Métis heritage, and his first cousin, Wayne Bourque, is a three-time North American native boxing champion.The family returned in Lac La Biche when Bourque was seven. As his father was sometimes away from home for weeks at a time due to his job, Bourque's mother raised the kids while also studying for her diploma in social work and later working full time for the Alberta Government. His parents encouraged him in hockey, and after a season of minor hockey in Fort McMurray, he attended the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame south of Regina, Saskatchewan, where he was an honours student. He was recruited to play major junior hockey for the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League (WHL), though he declined to join the Blades as it would have cost him his eligibility to play for a National Collegiate Athletic Association school. Bourque felt that his education was paramount, and it wasn't until he had earned a full scholarship to play at the University of Wisconsin–Madison that he believed he could make a career in hockey. At Wisconsin, he earned a degree in Consumer Behaviour and Business.
Playing career
Instead of the WHL, Bourque opted to play one season of Junior A hockey with the St. Albert Saints of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), retaining his NCAA eligibility. He scored 44 goals and 81 points to finish second in team scoring in 1999–2000. He was named to the AJHL All-Rookie team and finished as a runner-up for the rookie of the year award. In spite of this, he went undrafted by any National Hockey League (NHL) team.Bourque then moved onto the college game, playing four seasons with the Wisconsin Badgers. He led the Badgers in goals (19) and points (27) as a junior in 2002–03 and was named the team's most valuable player. He again led the Badgers in scoring with 16 goals and 34 points in 2003–04 as Wisconsin reached the regional final of the 2004 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. He was named the recipient of the Ivan B. Williamson Scholastic Award as the team's scholastic player of the year. He served as a tri-captain of the team in his final year and reached a double-digit goal total in each of his four seasons with the Badgers.
Following his graduation, on July 29, 2004, Bourque signed a free agent contract with the Chicago Blackhawks. He was assigned to the Hawks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, for the 2004–05 season. He scored a franchise record 33 goals for the Admirals, also leading the team with 60 points, and was named the Dudley "Red" Garrett Memorial Award winner as the AHL's rookie of the year. Additionally, he made the All-Rookie Team and played for Team Canada at the 2005 AHL All-Star Game where he won the hardest shot competition.
Bourque joined the Blackhawks to start the 2005–06 season, and scored his first NHL goal against goaltender J. S. Giguere in his first game, a 5–3 loss to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. He finished his rookie season with 16 goals and 34 points, good for fourth place in team scoring. The Hawks subsequently signed Bourque to a two-year contract extension. He endured an injury-plagued season in 2006–07, appearing in only 44 games and scoring 7 goals. He was rushed to hospital during a November 12, 2006, game against the Columbus Blue Jackets after suffering a deep cut to the neck from Nikolai Zherdev's skate during a scrum in the crease. The Blackhawks announced that he would miss 3–6 weeks following surgery to repair the laceration. Bourque considered himself fortunate that the injury was not worse, stating upon his return to action four weeks later that he might not have survived if the cut was a couple millimetres deeper.
Just over two weeks after his return, Bourque was again sidelined when he suffered a cracked bone in his ankle on December 31, 2006. He returned to action on February 21, 2007, after missing nearly two months. Injuries again hampered Bourque in 2007–08. He missed time early in the season with a groin pull, then was knocked out of the lineup for a month after breaking his thumb in a November game against the Detroit Red Wings. He remained healthy upon his return, finishing the season with 10 goals and 14 assists in 62 games for Chicago.
On July 1, 2008, Bourque was traded to the Calgary Flames in exchange for a second round selection at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. The Flames quickly signed the restricted free agent to a two-year contract. He enjoyed a career year in Calgary that included his first hat trick, against the Ottawa Senators, on December 27, 2008. He suffered a high ankle sprain that sidelined him for the final two months of the regular season. Although he was limited to 58 games, he topped the 20-goal plateau for the first time (21) and scored a career high 40 points. He returned in time to play in the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Blackhawks, though he missed one game in the series after re-aggravating the injury. Following the season, he opted for surgery to repair the damage to his ankle.
Bourque continued to provide offence for the Flames early in 2009–10; he was leading the Flames in scoring in late November when he was again knocked out of the lineup by an undisclosed injury. He returned to action after two weeks, having missed six games. Bourque remained an offensive catalyst throughout the season, amassing a new career high in goals (27), assists (31) and points (58), and a +7 rating. Following the season, he was invited to play for Team Canada at the 2010 IIHF World Championship. He scored one goal and one assist in seven games for the seventh-place Canadians.
Signing him to a six-year contract extension worth $3.3 million per season in February 2010, the Flames looked to Bourque to be a top player for the organization. Though he is prone to inconsistent play, he is considered one of the Flames' top offensive threats, and a player looked at as potentially succeeding captain Jarome Iginla as the team's scoring leader.
In 2010-2011 Bourque played in the 2011 NHL Heritage Classic outdoor game in Calgary at McMahon Stadium against the Montreal Canadiens and become the 5th player in NHL outdoor history to score two goals in one event. Bourque scored the game winning goal as the Flames won the game 4-0.
Off the ice
Bourque has been involved in many charitable endeavours both in Calgary and Lac La Biche. He started the Rene Bourque Hockey Fund with the goal of providing hockey equipment to underprivileged kids, and has appeared as a spokesman for Native Americans in sport at youth symposiums. His fund led to the donation of 50 sets of equipment to underprivileged children in Northern Alberta during the 2008–09 season, and over 100 sets in 2010–11. Also in 2010–11, he started a program called "Bourque's Buddies" that rewards kids from the Tsuu T'ina Nation who have made positive contributions in their schools with tickets to Flames games.
