Fred Fletcher, Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke's pick for police chief, shakes the hand of Councilwoman Carol Berz, District 6, Tuesday in the City Council room. Fletcher, formerly a police commander in Austin, Texas, was confirmed unanimously.Photo by Erin O. Smith.
There was never any doubt.
Fred Fletcher has so won over the Chattanooga community that there was little for the City Council to do Tuesday night but approve his hiring.
The veteran commander from the Austin, Texas, police department will begin his new job in late June.
The council unanimously confirmed Fletcher, praised him for what they called exemplary police work and heaped their expectations on the 46-year-old veteran.
"We are depending on you," said Councilman Moses Freeman. "There may need to be a culture shift to create a community relationship with the police department and the kind of trust that we need. We know we want you to solve all the crimes as it occurs."
"We're putting all that pressure on you ... you'll do the best you can."
Most of the city officials met with Fletcher one-on-one after Mayor Andy Berke offered him the job April 24. But Councilman Yusuf Hakeem said he reserved his interview with Fletcher for the public hearing on Tuesday.
Hakeem wanted to know what Fletcher thought of an independent citizen-led review panel for the police department as well as his idea of community policing and asked how he plans to restore trust with the community.
Fletcher answered that he will lead by example and hold his officers accountable to treat the community with respect.
"One is leading by example and articulating what your expectations are," he said. Yet based on his observations in Chattanooga, he said: "We're well on the way down that road of improving trust."
Fletcher will sign a contract with the city before his start date with a salary of $142,500, but officials said the documentation hadn't been finalized Tuesday night.
Chattanooga community leaders who met with Fletcher said they were impressed with his performance commanding the East Austin sector and with his community initiatives.
From 2012 to 2013, violent crime in the region that Fletcher oversaw decreased by 14 percent, and property crime declined by 9 percent.
Berke Chief of Staff Travis McDonough said the city, led by a search firm, picked through the best candidates across the country and found that Fletcher was at the top of the list. He said that affirmation was clear when several officers picked Fletcher up from the airport and after two hours of talking with the commander decided he was the right choice.
McDonough said the consensus was clear: "This is the guy, you've found the right one."

ROSSITER — The Rossiter Miners' Federation League baseball team will host the second-annual Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament today and Sunday at Shaffer Field in Rossiter.
Four games will be played in the tournament this weekend, with three games featuring the hometown Miners.
All proceeds from food and beverage sales will go toward the Walker's Warriors Relay for Life team. There will also be silent auctions and raffles, with a pink bat autographed by Punxsy native and current Cincinnati Reds prospect Devin Mesoraco being the main piece raffled off.
Former Punxsutawney Area High School catcher Devin Mesoraco has become one of the top producers of doubles in the Triple-A International League, where he plays for the Louisville Bats. This week, he added four doubles to his season total.
Mesoraco's 26 doubles on the season for the Cincinnati Reds' affiliate is good enough for second in the International League, trailing Jim Gallagher of the Charlotte Knights by just one double.
Mesoraco started the week with five consecutive one-hit games, including last Saturday's 1-for-3 performance, during which he doubled and walked.
Alli Ishman delivers a pitch during the bottom of the first inning of Punxsy's Little League softball All-Star game against Brockway Thursday night. Ishman pitched four scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and striking out seven. Ishman's one-hitter is this week's Play of the Week.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Alli Ishman was on point all game long, and the Punxsy Little League softball All-Stars cruised to a tournament-opening 15-0 victory in four innings over Brockway Thursday night at Harry Noerr Field in Punxsutawney.
Ishman was dominant, striking out the first five batters she faced and throwing a one-hitter. Ishman was one out away from a no-hitter when Anndi Bartlett hit a liner in the hole that glanced off a reaching Punxsy third baseman Brayden Woodrow. Ishman then retired Savannah Terwilliger to end the game.
Punxsy's Devon Luzell (12) and Zak Dickey will compete in the 27th-annual Lezzer Lumber Football Classic at 7 p.m. tonight at Bald Eagle Area Alumni Field in Wingate. Punxsy's Ben Blazavich was also selected to play in the game, but is unable to attend due to a prior engagement.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Most graduating seniors played their final football game as a representative of the Chucks last November, but three of those now-graduated seniors have been chosen to represent Punxsutawney in the 27th-annual Lezzer Lumber Football Classic, which will take place at 7 p.m. Friday at Bald Eagle Area Alumni Field in Wingate.
The remaining 2011 District 10 Little League All-Star brackets have been released, as Punxsy's 10- & 11-year-old baseball and softball and Senior League softball teams now know their postseason schedules.
Punxsy's Senior League softball All-Stars will play first of the three teams. They will visit Brockway Tuesday, June 28. The winner of that game will play Thursday, June 30, at DuBois.
BROOKVILLE — Despite a no-hitter thrown by Brookville's Elaina Powell, DuBois took game one of the Little League softball All-Stars tournament, 13-9, Tuesday in Brookville.
DuBois took an early lead, going up 11-4 in the fourth, but Brookville made a sixth inning push, which proved to be too little, too late.
1. I never understand why sports fans riot after their team wins or loses. How is destroying your town going to quell the fact that your team just lost? I understand that some people live and die by their team, but people shouldn't live and die by their team. Vancouver doesn't deserve a winner when more than 140 are injured and there is more than $1 million in reported property damage after one hockey game.
HOMER CITY — A sunny Saturday evening proved to be the perfect atmosphere for the Federation League All-Stars to take down the Indiana County League (ICL) All-Stars, 12-7, in a competitive interleague game played at First Commonwealth Field in Homer City.
The Rossiter Miners sent five All-Stars to Saturday night's game: Christian Muth, Matt Gourley, Pete Meterko, Tommy Bush and Dakota Bish. Both Muth and Gourley were given the nod as starters for the Fed League. Bish entered the game in the sixth inning, while Meterko and Bush both came in during the seventh.

Northcentral Technical College has sent layoff notices to 43 people.
The recent budget cuts mean 10 support staff and managerial positions will be cut. That will help save the school $1 million.
Thirty-one teachers will be laid off unless the state and federal grant money that funds their programs is approved.
NTC says they deal with delays in grant funding every time the state budget is approved, and they expect most of the teachers will not lose their jobs.
Six positions have also been cut through attrition.

Microsoft has inked yet another patent licensing deal with an Android smartphone maker, this time Chinese giant ZTE, leaving Google's Motorola unit increasingly out on a limb.
The deal means that 80 percent of Android smartphones sold in the US and a majority of ones sold worldwide are now covered by patent licence fees that Microsoft has extracted from the likes Samsung, Sony and HTC.
In a pointed reference to Motorola, Microsoft's deputy general counsel, Horacio Gutierrez said it hoped to have all Android makers signed up to its licence deals soon.
"We have worked for multiple years to reach an amicable solution with the few global companies who have yet to take a licences, but so far they have been unwilling to address these issues in a fair manner," he wrote on a company blog. "We'd prefer to consider these companies licensing partners and remain hopeful they can join the rest of the industry in the near future."
Google's $12bn acquisition of Motorola was partly influenced by the patent trove it would acquire – reported to be worth a $5m chunk of the overall price. But given the number of smartphone and tablet makers that have caved to Microsoft's patent demands, there must be questions over how long Motorola can last out.
"Much of the current litigation in the so called 'smartphone patent wars' could be avoided if companies were willing to recognize the value of others' creations in a way that is fair," added Gutierrez.
According to some estimates, Microsoft makes more money from its Android license fees than it does from selling its Windows Phone 8 system.

text: Congressman: 'Older White Guys the Most Insecure' Part of Society Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 17 Jan 2013 post a comment Virginia Representative Jim Moran has taken PC, pop psychology to its logical extremes by claiming that "older white guys" are the "most insecure" part of American society . Moran, one of the nation's most left-wing Congressmen, appeared on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show on January 16 and went into an aspect of the next election cycle that seemed to trouble him. It was during this discussion that he found what is wrong with our nation. Clearly, we had a very successful election in November. I worry a bit about 2014, when we don't have the President at the top of the ticket. We have a disproportionately number of older white guys, and frankly, being one of those types, we're the most insecure component of our society as far as I'm concerned; we're much the problem with these kinds of things. Helpfully, left-wing commentator and Salon editor and columnist Joan Walsh wanted to reassure Rep. Moran that there were a few old white guys that were OK in her book, at least. "I just want to say to Congressman Moran there are a lot of terrific older white guys out there," Walsh gushed. "You're one of them; the Vice-President is another one. You know, we'll be there for you." Ah, validation.

Makes me glad I started with Postgres all those years ago, and stuck with it; for me, MySQL has nothing but disadvantages now.

ICANN: 'The rum made us do it'
" There is a more pressing technical issue at hand: the fact that the current internet protocol (IPv4) will run out of addresses, oh, say in four years or so. "
10 years ago, we were going to run out of IPv4 addresses in 3-4 years. If we were so hard up for standard IP addresses, how can the spammers get hold of, and subsequently abandon, so many of 'em that the good guys can't keep up???
We need to go back to the "good old days" - Prove you need a Class C, and spank the owner of said Class C if it gets misused... stop handing them out like candy and take care (read: responsibility) of the ones you have.
IPv4 gives *almost* one IP address per human on the planet. If you break that down to one IP address per family, we're good to go until world war 7. Explain to me why we need more IPv6 addresses (by almost double) than the number of square meters of land mass of the earth? So spam can keep up with Moore's Law?

Laptop LAN Interface troubleshooting...
Quoting: "but weren't sure if that was RHEL or the ThinkPad's problem. It was some sort of DHCP issue; the install machine hadn't been plugged into the LAN when it booted. A reboot with the net connected solved this, though perhaps one could just bounce the interfaces."
Quite often the default for laptops is if there's no active physical connection on the LAN port on boot, the interface is disabled as a power-saving feature... my Fujitsu Lifebook is that way. In that instance, a full reboot would be necessary to bring up the Ethernet interface.

You don't have to buy it, after all."
When I purchased my Fujitsu Lifebook P2120, not only was I *forced* to purchase MicroFlaccid (is that better than M$?) Windows XP Pro with it, I was told that my hardware warranty was void if I removed it! M$ tells OEMs that if they give end users a choice of OS, they'll revoke *all* the OEM's Winders licenses. How is that not "forcing" people to purchase Winders?
Yes, the laptop runs Linux (that's my job) and yes, I'm glad I had the foresight to ghost the hard drive before I installed it, because I did have a warranty issue with the LCD, and I had to restore the original partitions on the drive before I sent it in for repair.

Thankfully, I grew up watching the latter as I live on the Canadian border, and could pick up the CBC broadcasts of BH.
P.S. IMHO, Brits *don't* have any reason to complain about base/basketball... you have cricket, after all. When most people who know how it's played can't explain how (or in some cases why) it's played... ;-)

We Americans did that *long* ago - The beer: Olde Frothingslosh, the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom! The picture on the can features the fictional "Fatima Yechburgh":
I don't think the ploy worked, though. How's that saying go? "Beer: Helping ugly women have sex since 1869" or somesuch? Methinks it goes back _much_ farther than that, and I'd wager it's just as helpful for the ladies when presented with the dregs of man-dom. Hell, I'm married, that must be proof! I doubt a picture on a can will stem the tide. ;-)
Unhelpful Microsoft help denies helpless millions help

Never bought a book -- never needed to. Starting with Access 97, things went downhill... and fast... and never recovered.
It sucks that over a decade ago, MicroSoft actually knew how to "do it right" and b0rked it up so bad in the name of "progress." Sheesh.

Associated Press
REISTERSTOWN, Md. — Police in suburban Baltimore are investigating the fatal shooting of a sword-wielding man by an officer executing a warrant.
Authorities said Baltimore County police went to a Reisterstown home late Thursday seeking two other people for a Howard County shooting.
Police say a Baltimore County officer killed 48-year-old Ronald Cox Jr. after Cox swung a sword and struck a shield he was carrying. The officer, whose name has not been released, has been placed on administrative review pending a review.
The Baltimore County officers were executing a Howard County warrant at the home. Howard County Police say the officers arrested two people charged with attempted murder for a June 19 attack on a 15-year-old boy in Marriottsville.

Louis de Schryver was born in Belgium in 1862 and moved with his family to France, where his father was a Parisian Journalist.
Receiving encouragement from his family, Schryver studied under Gabriel Ferrier and achieved considerable success from an early age. He made his debut at the Salon at the age of thirteen and his paintings at the Salon and the Expositions Universelles earned him several awards.
In 1893 he was made an honorary member of the Society of Arts of Canada. Schryver died in 1942.

Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

As you can see from my signature below, I have a TU FICO of 735, EQ at 743 and EX at 694. All three are almost identical. No collections, no public records no negatives. Ex has 4 Inquiries, TU has 3, and EQ has 3. I have a closed student loan and 2 credit cards that was opened in the last 3-4 months. (All paid on time and in full with 9% usage) EX shows my recent payments while TU and EQ does not at this time. There is no other noticeable differences in the three credit reports. Can anyone provide me a reason why there is a 41-49 point difference between EX and TU/EQ? These were pulled from myFico.com. Thank you in advance!
What do you mean by Tradelines? I posted the differences I have seen between the three. EX has the Payments I made to my two credit cards. I have a Credit Limit of $500 between the both of them. (Bank Of America and Capital One Secured cards) EX shows $41 utilization and TU/EQ shows $45. $45/$500 should be 9% and Ex should be less. I don't see why there should be this much of a difference. Thank you in advance.
I have an update. I applied for the AMEX Premier Gold Card and got declined yesterday. I have yet to recieve an email describing why. I then went to experian.com and checked my PLUS score, and it's 735! **bleep**? My FICO score is 694 but my plus is 735? My TU and EQ FICO is 735 and 743....what gives??? Please help!

A PLUS score is a FAKO and factors in stuff that FICO does not, and vice versa. Different score range too. My PLUS score via USAA is often 50+ off from FICO.
Okay, I understand that part...But TU and EQ have over 735 FICO....and the reports are almost identical. Is Experian that rough? I mean I see a lot of people with higher EX scores than TU or EQ. I am just trying to understand why...and if it's something that I can control or fix...Thank you for any help!
The creditor probably used a Bankcard enhanced score which weighs CC accounts more heavily than the other TLs.
You can have identical reports and all scores will be different due to the way things are scored across all 3 CRAs.
I fail to understand how that is possible with EX. So the EX FICO has a lower score than the EX PLUS, TU FICO and EQ FICO? This is more than a 40 point difference! Credit Sesame also shows my EX to be 746! The only thing that bothers me is why the low score when all other scoring numbers are much higher. I mean even at 694, its still good credit. I just know I have better...especially with TU and EQ. Is the EX FICO scoring system that different to give a 40-50 pt score difference? There has to be a reason behind this!!!?!?!?!?
My EX is 48 points higher than my TU. The EQ is 15 higher than TU and 33 lower than EX. do not try to make sense of the differnt numbers in different models.
That may be the case for you, but are your CR's identical to each other?
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

ANHALT , a duchy of
See also:Germany, and a constituent
See also:state of the
See also:German
See also:empire, formed, in 1863, by the amalgamation of the two duchies Anhalt-
See also:Dessau-
See also:Cothen and Anhalt-
See also:Bernburg, and comprising all the various Anhalt territories which were sundered apart in 1603 . The
See also:country now known as Anhalt consists of two larger portions—Eastern and Western Anhalt, separated by the interposition of a
See also:part of Prussian Saxony—and of five enclaves surrounded by Prussian territory, viz . Alsleben, Muhlingen,
See also:Dornburg,Godnitz and Tilkerode-Abberode . The eastern and larger portion of the duchy is enclosed by the Prussian
See also:government
See also:district of
See also:Potsdam (in the Prussian province of
See also:Brandenburg), and
See also:Magdeburg and
See also:Merseburg (belonging to the Prussian province of
See also:Saxony) . The western or smaller portion (the so-called Upper Duchy or
See also:Ballenstedt) is also enclosed by the two latter districts and, for a distance of 5 m. on the west, by the duchy of
See also:Brunswick . The western portion of the territory is undulating and in the extreme
See also:south-west, where it forms part of the Harz range, mountainous, the Ramberg
See also:peak attaining a height of 1900 ft . From the Harz the country gently shelves down to the
See also:Saale; and between this
See also:river and the Elbe there lies a
See also:fine
See also:tract of fertile country . The portion of the duchy lying
See also:east of the Elbe is mostly a
See also:flat sandy plain, with extensive
See also:pine forests, though interspersed, at intervals, by bog-
See also:land and
See also:rich pastures . The Elbe is the chief river, and intersecting the eastern portion of the duchy, from east to west, receives at
See also:Rosslau the
See also:waters of the
See also:Mulde . The navigable Saale takes a northerly direction through the western portion of the eastern part of the territory and receives, on the right, the Fuhne and, on the
See also:left, the Wipper and the
See also:Bode . The
See also:climate is on the whole mild, though somewhat inclement in the higher regions to the south-west . The
See also:area of the duchy is 906 sq. m., and the population in 1905 amounted to 328,007, a ratio of about 351 to the square mile .
The country is divided into the districts of Dessau, Cothen,
See also:Zerbst, Bernburg and Ballenstedt, of which that of Bernburg is the most, and that of Ballenstedt the least, populated . Of the towns, four, viz . Dessau, Bernburg, Cothen and Zerbst, have populations exceeding 20,000 . The inhabitants of the duchy, who mainly belong to the upper Saxon
See also:race, are, with the exception of about 12,000
See also:Roman Catholics and 1700 Jews, members of the Evangelical (Union)
See also:Church . The supreme ecclesiastical authority is the
See also:consistory in Dessau; while a
See also:synod of 39 members, elected for six years, assembles at periods to deliberate on
See also:internal matters touching the organization of the church . The Roman Catholics are under the
See also:bishop of Paderborn . There are within the duchy four grammar
See also:schools (gymnasia), five semi-classical and
See also:modern schools, a teachers' seminary and four high-grade girls' schools . Of the whole
See also:surface, land under tillage amounts to about 6o, meadowland to 7 and
See also:forest to 25 % . The chief crops are corn (especially
See also:wheat), fruit, vegetables, potatoes,
See also:beet,
See also:tobacco,
See also:flax,
See also:linseed and hops . The land is well cultivated, and the husbandry on the royal domains and the large estates especially so . The pastures on the
See also:banks of the Elbe yield
See also:cattle of excellent quality . The forests are well stocked with
See also:game, such as
See also:deer and
See also:wild boar, and the open country is well supplied with partridges .
See also:rivers yield abundant
See also:fish,
See also:salmon (in the Elbe),
See also:sturgeon and lampreys . The country is rich in
See also:lignite, and
See also:salt
See also:works are abundant . Of the manufactures of Anhalt, the chief are its
See also:sugar factories, distilleries, breweries and chemical works . Commerce is brisk, especially in raw products— corn, cattle,
See also:timber or wool .
See also:Coal (lignite), guano, oil and bricks are also articles of export . The
See also:trade of the country is furthered by its excellent roads, its navigable rivers and its
See also:railways (165 m.), which are worked in connexion with the Prussian
See also:system . There is a chamber of commerce in Dessau . Constitution.—The duchy, by virtue of a fundamental
See also:law, proclaimed on the 17th of
See also:September 1859 and subsequently modified by various decrees, is a constitutional
See also:monarchy . The duke, who bears the title of "
See also:Highness," wields the executive power while sharing the legislation with the estates . The
See also:diet (Landtag) is composed of
See also:thirty-six members, of whom two are appointed by the duke, eight are representatives of landowners paying the highest taxes, two of the highest assessed members of the commercial and manufacturing classes, fourteen of the other electors of the towns and ten of the rural districts . The representatives are chosen for six years by indirect
See also:vote and must have completed their twenty-fifth
See also:year . The duke governs through a
See also:minister of state, who is the praeses of all the departments—finance, home affairs,
See also:education, public worship and
See also:statistics .
See also:budget estimates for the
See also:financial year 1905–r906 placed the
See also:expenditure of the
See also:estate at £1,323,437 . The public
See also:debt amounted on the 3oth of
See also:June 1904 to £226,300 . By
See also:convention with Prussia of 1867 the Anhalt troops
See also:form a contingent of the Prussian army .
See also:Appeal from the lowercourts of the duchy lies to the appeal
See also:court at
See also:Naumburg in Prussian Saxony .
See also:History.—During the r 1 th century the greater part of Anhalt was included in the duchy of Saxony, and in the 12th century it came under the
See also:rule of
See also:Albert the Bear,
See also:margrave of Brandenburg . Albert was descended from Albert, count of Ballenstedt, whose son Esico (d . 1059 or ro6o) appears to have been the first to bear the title of count of Anhalt . Esico's
See also:grandson,
See also:Otto the Rich, count of Ballenstedt, was the
See also:father of Albert the Bear, by whom Anhalt was
See also:united with the mark of Brandenburg . When Albert died in 1170, his son
See also:Bernard, who received the title of duke of Saxony in 11 8o, became count of Anhalt . Bernard died in 1212, and Anhalt, separated from Saxony, passed to his son
See also:Henry, who in 1218 took the title of
See also:prince and was the real founder of the
See also:house of Anhalt . On Henry's
See also:death in 1252 his three sons partitioned the principality and founded respectively the lines of
See also:Aschersleben, Bernburg and Zerbst . The
See also:family ruling in Aschersleben became
See also:extinct in 1315, and this district was subsequently incorporated with the neighbouring bishopric of
See also:Halberstadt .
The last prince of the
See also:line of Anhalt-Bernburg died in 1468 and his lands were inherited by the princes of the
See also:sole remaining line, that of Anhalt-Zerbst . The territory belonging to this branch of the family had been divided in 1396, and after the acquisition of Bernburg Prince
See also:George I. made a further
See also:partition of Zerbst . Early in the 16th century, however, owing to the death or
See also:abdication of several princes, the family had become narrowed down to the two branches of Anhalt-Cothen and Anhalt-Dessau . Wolfgang, who became prince of Anhalt-Cothen in 15o8, was a stalwart adherent of the
See also:Reformation, and after the
See also:battle of Miihlberg in 1547 was placed under the
See also:ban and deprived of his lands by the emperor
See also:Charles V . After the
See also:peace of
See also:Passau in 1552 he bought back his principality, but as he was childless he surrendered it in 1562 to his kinsmen the princes of Anhalt-Dessau . Ernest I. of Anhalt-Dessau (d . 1516) left three sons,
See also:John II., George III., and
See also:Joachim, who ruled their lands together for many years, and who, like Prince Wolfgang, favoured the reformed doctrines, which thus became dominant in Anhalt . About 1546 the three
See also:brothers divided their principality and founded the lines of Zerbst, Plotzkau and Dessau . This division, however, was only temporary, as the acquisition of Cothen, and a series of deaths among the"ruling princes, enabled Joachim Ernest, a son of John II., to unite the whole of Anhalt under his rule in 1570 . Joachim Ernest died in 1586 and his five sons ruled the land in
See also:common until 1603, when Anhalt was again divided, and the lines of Dessau, Bernburg, Plotzkau, Zerbst and Cothen were refounded . The principality was ravaged during the Thirty Years' War, and in the earlier part of this struggle Christian I. of Anhalt-Bernburg took an important part . In 1635 an arrangement was made by the various princes of Anhalt, which gave a certain authority to the eldest member of the family, who was thus able to represent the principality as a whole .
This proceeding was probably due to the
See also:necessity of maintaining an appearance of unity in view of the disturbed state of
See also:European politics . In 1665 the branch of Anhalt-Cothen became extinct, and according to a family compact this district was inherited by Lebrecht of Anhalt-Plotzkau, who surrendered Plotzkau to Bernburg,and took the title of prince ofAnhalt- Cothen . In the same year the princes of Anhalt decided that if any branch of the family became extinct its lands should be equally divided between the remaining branches . This arrangement was carried out after the death of
See also:Frederick
See also:Augustus of Anhalt-Zerbst in 1793, and Zerbst was divided between the three remaining princes . During these years the policy of the different princes was marked, perhaps intentionally, by considerable uniformity . Once or twice Calvinism was favoured by a prince, but in general the house was loyal to the doctrines of
See also:Luther . The growth of Prussia provided Anhalt with a formidable neighbour, and the
See also:establishment and practice of
See also:primogeniture by all branches of the family prevented further divisions of the principality . In 18o6 Alexius of Anhalt-Bernburg was created a duke by the emperor
See also:Francis II., and after the dissolution of the Empire each of the three princes took this title . Joining the
See also:Confederation of the Rhine in 1807, they supported
See also:Napoleon until 1813, when they transferred their
See also:allegiance to the
See also:allies; in 1815 they became members of the Germanic Confederation, and in 1828 joined, somewhat reluctantly, the Prussian Zollverein . Anhalt-Cothen was ruled without division by a succession of princes, prominent among whom was
See also:Louis (d . 1650), who was both a soldier and a
See also:scholar; and after the death of Prince Charles at the battle of Semlin in 1789 it passed to his son Augustus II . This prince sought to emulate the changes which had recently been made in
See also:France by dividing Cothen into two departments and introducing the
See also:Code Napoleon .
Owing to his extravagance he left a large amount of debt to his
See also:nephew and successor, Louis II., and on this account the
See also:control of the finances was transferred from the prince to the estates . Under Louis's successor
See also:Ferdinand, who was a Roman Catholic and brought the
See also:Jesuits into Anhalt, the state of the finances
See also:grew worse and led to the interference of the
See also:king of Prussia and to the
See also:appointment of a Prussian official . When the succeeding prince, Henry, died in 1847, this family became extinct, and according to an arrangement between the lines of Anhalt-Dessau and Anhalt-Bernburg, Cothen was added to Dessau . Anhalt-Bernburg had been weakened by partitions, but its princes had added several districts to their lands; and in 1812, on the extinction of a
See also:cadet branch, it was again united under a single ruler . The feeble rule of
See also:Alexander Charles, who became duke in 1834, and the disturbed state of
See also:Europe in the following
See also:decade, led to considerable unrest, and in 1849 Bernburg was occupied by Prussian troops . A number of abortive attempts were made to
See also:change the government, and as Alexander Charles was unlikely to leave any
See also:children,
See also:Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau took some part in the affairs of Bernburg . Eventually in 1859 a new constitution was established for Bernburg and Dessau jointly, and when Alexander Charles died in 1863 both were united under the rule of Leopold . Anhalt-Dessau had been divided in 1632, but was quickly reunited; and in 1693 it came under the rule of Leopold I . (see ANHALT-DESSAU, LEOPOLD I., PRINCE OF),the famous soldier who was generally known as the " Old Dessauer." The sons of Leopold's eldest son were excluded from the succession on account of the
See also:marriage of their father being morganatic, and the principality passed in 1747 to his second son, Leopold II . The unrest of 1848 spread to Dessau, and led to the interference of the Prussians and to the establishment of the new constitution in 1859 . Leopold IV., who reigned from 1817 to 1871, had the satisfaction in 1863 of reuniting the whole of Anhalt under his rule . He took the title of duke of Anhalt, summoned one Landtag for the whole of the duchy, and in 1866 fought for Prussia against
See also:Austria .
Subsequently a
See also:quarrel over the possession of the ducal estates between the duke and the Landtag broke the peace of the duchy, but this was settled in 1872 . In 1871 Anhalt became a state of the German Empire . Leopold IV. was followed by his son Frederick I., and on the death of this prince in 1904 his son Frederick II. became duke of Anhalt . ANHALT-DESSAU, LEOPOLD I., PRINCE OF (1676-1747), called the "Old Dessauer" (Alter Dessauer), general
See also:field marshal in the Prussian army, was the only surviving son of John George II., prince of Anhalt-Dessau, and was
See also:born on the 3rd of
See also:July 1676 at Dessau . From his earliest youth he was devoted to the profession of arms, for which he educated himself physically and mentally..He became colonel of a Prussian regiment in 1693, and in the same year his father's death placed him at the
See also:head of his own principality; thereafter, during the whole of his long
See also:life, he performed the duties of a
See also:sovereign prince and a Prussian officer . His first
See also:campaign was that of 1695 in the
See also:Netherlands, in which he was
See also:present at the
See also:siege of
See also:Namur . He remained in the fieldto the end of the war of 1697, the affairs of the principality being managed chiefly by his
See also:mother, Princess Henriette
See also:Catherine of Orange . In 1698 he married Anna Luise Fose, an apothecary's daughter of Dessau, in spite of his mother's long and
See also:earnest opposition, and subsequently he procured for her the
See also:rank of a princess from the emperor (1701) . Their married life was long and happy, and the princess acquired an influence over the stern nature of her
See also:husband which she never ceased to exert on behalf of his subjects, and after the death of Leopold's mother she performed the duties of
See also:regent when he was absent on campaign . Often, too, she accompanied him into the field . Leopold's career as a soldier in important commands begins with the outbreak of the War of the
See also:Spanish Succession . He had made many improvements in the Prussian army, notably the introduction of the iron ramrod about 1700, and he now took the field at the head of a Prussian
See also:corps on the Rhine, serving at the sieges of
See also:Kaiserswerth and
See also:Venlo .
In the following year (1703), having obtained the rank of
See also:lieutenant-general, Leopold took part in the siege of
See also:Bonn and distinguished himself very greatly in the battle of
See also:Hochstadt, in which the Austrians and their allies were defeated by the French under Marshal Villars (September 20,1703) . In the campaign of 1704 the Prussian contingent served under Prince Louis of
See also:Baden and subsequently under
See also:Eugene, and Leopold himself won
See also:great
See also:glory by his conduct at
See also:Blenheim . In 1705 he was sent with a Prussian corps to join Prince Eugene in
See also:Italy, and on the 16th of
See also:August he displayed his bravery at the hard-fought battle of
See also:Cassano . In the following year he added to his reputation in the battle of
See also:Turin, where he was the first to enter the hostile entrenchments (September 7, 1706) . He served in one more campaign in Italy, and then went with Eugene to join
See also:Marlborough in the Netherlands, being present in 1709 at the siege of Tournay and the battle of
See also:Malplaquet . In 1710 he succeeded to the command of the whole Prussian contingent at the front, and in 1712, at the particular
See also:desire of the
See also:crown prince, Frederick
See also:William, who had served with him as a volunteer, he was made a general field marshal . Shortly before this he had executed a coup de
See also:main on the
See also:castle of Mors, which was held by the Dutch in
See also:defiance of the claims of the king of Prussia to the possession . The operation was effected with absolute precision and the castle was seized without a shot being fired . In the earlier part of the reign of Frederick William I., the prince of Dessau was one of the most influential members of the Prussian governing circle . In the war with Sweden (1715) he accompanied the king to the front, commanded an army of 40,000 men, and met and defeated Charles XII. in a severe battle on the
See also:island of Rtfgen (
See also:November 16) . His conduct of the siege of
See also:Stralsund which followed was equally skilful,and the great results of the war to Prussia were largely to be attributed to his
See also:leader-
See also:ship in the campaign . In the years of peace,and especially after a court quarrel (1725) and duel with General von Grumbkow, he devoted himself to the training of the Prussian army .
The reputation it had gained in the
See also:wars of 1675 to 1715, though
See also:good, gave no hint of its coming glory, and it was even in 1740 accounted one of the minor armies of Europe . That it proved, when put to the test, to be by far the best military force existing, may be taken as the
See also:summary result of Leopold's
See also:work . The "Old Dessauer" was one of the sternest disciplinarians in an age of stern discipline, and the technical training of the
See also:infantry, under his
See also:hand, made them
See also:superior to all others in the proportion of five to three (see
See also:AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION, WAR OF THE) . He was essentially an infantry soldier; in his
See also:time
See also:artillery did not decide battles, but he suffered the
See also:cavalry service, in which he
See also:felt little
See also:interest, to be comparatively neglected, with results which appeared at Mollwitz . Frederick the Great formed the cavalry of
See also:Hohenfriedberg and
See also:Leuthen himself, but had it not been for the incomparable infantry trained by the " Old Dessauer" he would never have had the opportunity of doing so . Thus Leopold, heartily sup-ported by Frederick William, who was himself called the great
See also:drill-
See also:master of Europe, turned to good account the twenty, years following the peace with Sweden . During this time two incidents in his career
See also:call for

Man robs shop, gets away in pickup pulling trailer
Published On: Jun 24 2013 08:32:27 AM CDT
A man who robbed a Des Moines area fast food restaurant had an unusual getaway car.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office says a man entered a Wendy's Restaurant just before 5 p.m. Sunday. He told an employee he had a weapon and demanded money.
He was given an undisclosed amount of cash, and then fled across a parking lot of an adjacent building.
He got into a maroon Ford Ranger pickup pulling a large trailer that contained furniture, covered by a dark tarp.
Witnesses say the trailer had blue, out of state license plates.
