The official Army autopsy report obtained by ESPN.com shows that, besides the three bullets in his forehead, Tillman had shrapnel in his left forearm and wrist.
Asked by ESPN.com to review the autopsy's findings, renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden suggested the three bullets that struck Tillman in the head came in rapid succession, and most likely were from the weapon of a single shooter.
Documents from the Army's investigations indicate the wounds likely came from American 5.56-mm or 7.62-mm rounds.
"The first bullet that struck him in the head, he was dead," Baden told ESPN.com. "Then he was struck by two additional bullets, because of the rapid fire of the weapon that was used. He also may have been shot by other weapons in the arm and vest. This would indicate that. … More than one person was firing at him."
The previous investigations under Army regulation 15-6, which establishes procedures for such inquiries, concluded that a trio of young Rangers was following the initial fire of their squad leader, Sgt. Greg Baker, as the soldiers were trained to do.
None of those official inquiries identified who squeezed the trigger on the fatal shots.
Baden, though, suspects that enough ballistics evidence remained for the Army to have pinpointed the shooter, even though key evidence such as Tillman's uniform and body armor was destroyed within three days of his death.
Baden also said X-rays could have been used to identify the path the bullets took through Tillman's head, but the results were not included in the autopsy report, neither was mention of a hole in Tillman's leg discovered by a soldier who helped carry the body down the hillside.
"They should be able to figure out where the bullets came from, from the trajectory analysis, and whose weapon they came from, from microscopic ballistic comparison," said Baden, chief forensic pathologist for the New York State Police and a frequent consultant in high-profile murder cases. "The person who fired probably knows who he is. I think the supervisors know who the shooter or shooters were, but they're not releasing it."
According to the Army officer who directed the first official inquiry, the Army might have more of a clue about the shooter's identity than it has let on. Asked whether ballistics work was done to identify who fired the fatal shots, Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich told ESPN.com, "I think, yeah, they did. And I think they know [who fired]. But I never found out."
Mansfield and other Rangers who attended the post-incident meeting said -- both in interviews with ESPN.com and in documents from the Army investigations -- they were advised by debriefers that night that the unit as a whole bore the responsibility for Tillman's death and they should avoid placing blame on any one person.
In his interview with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich also said he was not driven to identify Tillman's killer.
"You know what? I don't think it really matters," Kauzlarich said. "And the reason I say that -- you got to look at the overall situation here that these guys were fighting in. And somebody hit him. So would you hold that guy [who] hit him responsible for hitting him, when everybody was shooting in that direction, given the situation? We'll see how the [Defense Department Inspector General's] investigation comes out. But I had no issue on not finding a specific person responsible for doing it."

Unusual Cancers of Childhood Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Other Rare Childhood Cancers
Table 7. Characteristics of Paraganglioma (PGL) and Pheochromocytoma (PCC) Associated with Susceptibility Genesa continued...
Pediatric melanoma shares many similarities with adult melanoma, and the prognosis is stage dependent.[84] Overall 5-year survival of children and adolescents with melanoma is approximately 90%.[78,84,85] Approximately three-fourths of all children and adolescents present with localized disease and have an excellent outcome (>90% 5-year survival). The outcome for patients with nodal disease is intermediate, with about 60% expected to survive long term.[78,85] In one study, the outcome for patients with metastatic disease was favorable,[78] but this result was not duplicated in another study from the National Cancer Database.[85]
In pediatric melanoma, the association of thickness with clinical outcome is controversial.[78,85,86,87,88] In addition, pediatric melanoma appears to have a higher incidence of nodal involvement and this feature does not appear to have an impact on survival.[89,90] However, it is unclear how these findings truly affect clinical outcome since some series have included patients with atypical melanocytic lesions.[91,92] In a study of sentinel lymph node biopsies in children and adolescents, 25% were positive (compared with 17% in adults). However, only 0.7% of lymph nodes found on complete lymph node dissection were positive for melanoma. In this study, mortality was infrequent but was confined to sentinel lymph node–positive patients.[93][Level of evidence: 3iiA] In another study, 53% of patients younger than 10 years had positive sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with 26% of those who were aged 10 years and older.[94]
Children younger than 10 years who have melanoma often present with poor prognostic features, are more often non-white, have head and neck primary tumors, and more often have syndromes that predispose them to melanoma.[78,84,85,94]
Diagnostic evaluation
Biopsy or excision is necessary to determine the diagnosis of any skin cancer. Diagnosis is necessary for decisions regarding additional treatment. Although BCCs and SCCs are generally curable with surgery alone, the treatment of melanoma requires greater consideration because of its potential for metastasis. The width of surgical margins in melanoma is dictated by the site, size, and thickness of the lesion and ranges from 0.5 cm for in situ lesions to 2 cm or more for thicker lesions.[64] To achieve negative margins in children, wide excision with skin grafting may become necessary in selected cases. Examination of regional lymph nodes using sentinel lymph node biopsy has become routine in many centers [95,96] and is recommended in patients with lesions measuring more than 1 mm in thickness or in those whose lesions are 1 mm or less in thickness and have unfavorable features such as ulceration, Clark level of invasion IV or V, or mitosis rate of 1 per mm2 or higher.[95,97,98]

I'm originally from North Carolina and I have lived in this area for a while now Right now I am concentrated in enjoying my family and friends. I really love the people that are always there for me especially my parents.College educated. Fun, Spontaneous, Active, respectful and spiritual. I work hard for the things I want. I have accomplished most of my goals that I've set in my life. I have a secured job. I work for the federal government. I have many talents and I believe that you can accomplish anything you want to do if you set out yourself to do everything with your heart.I have always have had a very strong work ethic, but still find the time to have fun.I definitely consider myself to be rare and unique, while also being mindful of others and extremely authentic. I believe that chemistry is important and the ability to find joy in natural attraction while still combining it with lifestyle compatibility is a precious gem that I hope to find. I am huge on electronics an.d computers. I love watching football,basketball,and yes soccer. I play in a kickball and football league in the DMV area.I'm a person who can dress up in a suit but can be just as comfortable in my jeans as well.

I know what is like to make sacrifices in life to succeed and get far in life. I am a dreamer and like building up my talents. I also like to build up my knowledge and understandings about life. If you get to know me you'll find out I'm a very intelligent individual. I'm here to meet new people and if the opportunity is there for a good relationship i will be open to that as well.I like to smell good as well and body oil is my favorite. I am looking to meet someone with whom I can connect, care about and enjoy new experiences with. I want someone who is passionate, down to earth and can be there own individual.I would like to meet someone who appreciates the value of friendship and open to the possibilities; strong in what she believes, but willing to compromise; feminine, but willing to roll her sleeves up and get dirty....go out for a pass; knows what she wants and wont settle for less; and appreciates a good thing when she sees it. She is driven and passionate within her own life. Strong and comfortable in her own skin is what makes her who she is. She has an individual uniqueness about her. I am a person willing to commit for the long haul; despite, the differences that may exist. In a LTR there are going to be disagreements, good and bad days; it's during these times we're able to develop the core foundation that's needed to make the relationship strong. 'Life does not consist of a fairy tale!" Regardless, of how much I would love it to happen, it just doesn't. The simple things are enough to make me happy and impress me the most. I always feel you should never have to ask yourself how the other person feels about you, if so you're in the wrong relationship.

text: The Luxura wiki last edited by KillerZ on 09/25/13 07:55AM View full history OriginThe Vampress Luxura belongs to a race of vampires known as the 'Kith'. Although her exact age has not yet been disclosed, she is at least several centuries old. She has made good use of this time, building her own shadow empire that spans the globe. The heart of this empire is a complex in Manhattan, New York. It is a vast network of tunnels, caverns, and trophy rooms.Luxura is an avid collector. While much of her many collections have monetary value, most items are kept for sentimental value. Amongst the armor, jewelry, clothing, books and weapons, there is a crown jewel of her collections... the Blood Vault. This vault, believed by many to be the largest in the world, contains thousands of wine bottles filled with magically preserved blood. Each bottle is carefully labled, and displays a portrait or photograph of the donor.She is also a strong believer in the rule of law, and actively works to enforce the three main tenets of Kith society- sustaining mortals as a plentiful food source, regulating the Kith to prevent anarchy, and maintaining discretion so mortals are not alerted to the existence of Kith.CreationLuxura appeared first in 'Vamperotica', before spinning off into her own title 'The Vampress Luxura'. She is a creation of Kirk Lindo.

Westlake graduate killed in war zone
U.S. Army specialist dies in Afghanistan
A former Westlake High School student and football player was killed Saturday in Afghanistan.
U.S. Army Spc. Andrew Jordan "A.J." Castro, 20, died Saturday morning along with others in a land mine explosion, said Castro's father, Hector Castro. A.J. Castro had been in Afghanistan less than a month, his father said.
"I did everything I could to convince him not to join, but like his brother, he wanted to do it," Hector Castro said in a phone interview from Philadelphia.
Hector Castro said the one thing that gave him solace was a Facebook message he received from his son about five days ago.
"He said, 'Dad, I love what I'm doing,'" Hector Castro said. "I can't ask for anything more than that."
A total of seven U.S. troops died in weekend attacks in Afghanistan's embattled southern and eastern regions. The latest deaths bring to 42 the number of American forces who have died this month in Afghanistan after July's high of 66.
Hector Castro, 49, of Winnetka, flew to Pennsylvania on Sunday morning along with his ex-wife, Carmen Roman, 49, of Westlake Village, and one of A.J.'s brothers, Sgt. Ryan Castro, 25. Ryan Castro is a U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.
A.J. Castro was the youngest of three brothers. The oldest, Steven Castro, 27, lives in Oak Park. Steven Castro stayed behind to take care of his mother's dogs and the house. Steven said he's holding it together as much as he can.
"Every once in a while I'll see a picture around the house and I'll lose it," he said Sunday.
A.J. Castro's remains were scheduled to arrive by military transport at a Philadelphia airport at 2 a.m. today. His remains will then be flown to Pierce Brothers mortuary in Westlake Village. The family is planning a memorial service at St. Jude's Catholic Church in Westlake Village, but the date has not yet been determined.
A.J. Castro was with the 101st Airborne Division, stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky.
Ryan Castro, who just returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq, said that he's lost buddies as a soldier.
"It's completely different when it's your brother," he said. "When it happens, it's unbelievable. It hurts."
Carmen Roman is doing "as well as can be expected," Hector Castro said, and Ryan Castro said he's trying to be strong for his parents.
"It's just a shock to everybody," said Westlake High School head football coach Jim Benkert, who coached all three of the Castro boys in the football program.
Hector Castro has been a part of the Westlake High School football program for 17 years and is still athletic director for the youth football league, the Braves.
Hector Castro was running the scoreboard Saturday night while the Westlake Warriors were playing an intersquad scrimmage. After the scrimmage, Hector Castro and the coaches filtered over to Chili's Grill & Bar.
Benkert said he and his wife went home at 10:45 p.m. and he received a call from one of the coaches with Hector Castro.
"He was frantic," Benkert said. "He said a military chaplain and another soldier came into Chili's. They were with Hector's oldest son, Steven. My wife and I dropped everything to go over to Chili's to be with him."
Hector Castro stayed at Benkert's house that night with the other coaches.
"There wasn't a lot of sleeping happening last night," Benkert said. "It was a very, very, very, very sad thing to be around."
Benkert remembers A.J. Castro as someone who always did the right thing. He was the first to sign onto a voluntary drug program that left other students hesitant.
"We had a motto: 'Stand up for what is right even if you're standing alone,'" Benkert said. "He was the epitome of that motto."
Hector Castro remembers him as the muscled, nearly 6-foot tall son who, at 20, still liked to sit on the bed with his dad on Saturday morning while the two ate cereal and watched cartoons.
"He always called me 'Daddy,'" Hector said. "Right up until the day he died, he called me 'Daddy.'"

Originally written on The Sports Blitz | Last updated 3/24/13
A string of bad luck has struck the New York Yankees and now Derek Jeter may start 2013 on the disabled list. Worried, upset, concerned, just a few words that describe Yankees fans to start the season. While the progress of Yankee captain Derek Jeter, returning from a broken left ankle suffered in Game One of last October's American League Championship Series, had been a mostly positive storyline of spring training, it's possible that his return could be facing a bump in the road....

I believe P(2) = P(1)^2, because in order to go bust with both dice, each die needs to go bust, and they are independent.
Similarly, P(3) = P(1)^3.
So, what is P(1)?
so 3P(1) = 1 + P(1)^2 + P(1)^3
The roots of this equation are 1, sqrt(2)-1, and sqrt(2)+1.
In the interval of interest, we have two roots: sqrt(2)-1 and 1.
I'm inclined to rule out 1 (without good justification--this is infinity we're talking about...), yielding a probability of (eventually) going bust of 0.414.
Posted 29 January 2013 - 04:43 PM
You glue two small square pyramids together at their bases to form an eight-sided object that becomes a fair die. You mark the opposite pairs of faces with 0 1 2 and 3.
You begin the game with $1. You roll the die; the number that shows is your new stake. That is, with equal probability you lose you dollar, you keep your dollar, you double your dollar or you triple your dollar.
A minute later, you bet each of your dollars, if any remain after the first roll, with another roll of the die; one roll for each dollar that you have, and collect your winnings, if any. After another minute passes, each of your dollars, if any, suffers the fate of another roll. To be clear, in all cases each dollar is wagered individually. As the minutes turn into years, you eventually become rich, or you go bust.
What is the probability that you go bust?
I like the conditions that Prime gave in his last game. You can simulate the game if you like. But a submitted solution must comprise an answer and a method, both of which are correct. Enjoy!

Am I allowed to stop betting and leave at any time?
If so, will they exchange my dollars for larger denominations, or write a check?

Of course.
But your decision must be justified by a correct estimate of failure.
BTW, your winnings are all in Brain Den currency.

There is one thing that is not quite clear to me. The one minute delay is it between the rounds or between the individual rolls?
Say, after the first roll I got $3. A minute later, do I get 3 rolls (one for each $) in quick succession, or is there a minute delay before each individual roll?
Past prime, actually.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 04:14 AM
you'd want to bet pretty much as long as possible.
each individual roll has a higher likelihood of increasing your money than decreasing.
even spread out among many rolls, you're better off betting than quitting.
.25*-1 +.25*1 +.25*2 = .50, so you can expect to gain 50 cents for every dollar you bet.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 04:27 AM
i suppose i should answer what the op actually asks.
1/4 +1/16 +1/64... = (1/4)/(1-1/4) = 1/3.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 06:18 AM
Posted 30 January 2013 - 06:30 AM
so you have a 1/4 chance of going broke the first roll obviously.
you have a 1/4 chance of just getting your dollar back, and then another 1/4 chance of going broke.(1/16)
you have a 1/4 chance of getting an additional dollar, and then a 1/4 chance for each of losing them. (1/64)
and so on.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 08:35 AM

Say, after the first roll I got $3. A minute later, do I get 3 rolls (one for each $) in quick succession, or is there a minute delay before each individual roll?
The OP specifies that you get three rolls in that next minute.
Every dollar in your stake
gets to be must be wagered each minute.
Each dollar thus has an experience that is independent of but statistically identical to all the others.
Does that suggest an approach to analyze the problem?
But the answer has to be the same as if you considered a simple infinite sequence of wagers.
Since all the events are independent, and we're looking for a stop condition.
So there are at least two analytical approaches to take.
Vidi vici veni.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 09:01 AM
In this case...
As for the question in the OP, I think I came up with a closed from equation for the losing probability, but haven't solved it.
Past prime, actually.

Correct, except for the games and EAX part. Games are with very few rare exceptions entirely discrete audio. Sound in games consists of just numerous mono sound clips, and those clips are mixed into the individual channels in real-time.
Many game engines only do this with two channel support built into the engine. Most that don't use directsound to process this, the game just tells directsound where the individual sound effect is coming from relative to the "listener," and then directsound automatically takes care of the channel mixing. The same is done with surround as well, with directsound3d. Both directsound and directsound3d use discrete audio; that is they can send completely different audio to each different speaker if desired.
EAX actually has nothing to do with surround processing (aka positional audio) at all. EAX, meaning Environmental Audio eXtensions, is literally just a proprietary set of extensions for directsound3d (and optionally, OpenAL) which add various types of effects (e.g. reverb, echo, chorus, envelope, etc) to a given sample to give it an effect to make it sound like a different "environment" (e.g. hallway, stadium, etc.) EAX AdvancedHD extends EAX a little further by being able to apply multiple effects to a given sound sample, as well as add transitional effects to a sample which e.g. comes from a different type of room than the listener is currently standing in.
With regular directsound3d, in say for example the arena in Oblivion, you can hear those footsteps coming at you from whichever direction, be it front or rear. With EAX extensions, it can sound more like you are actually inside of the arena instead of just your room because of the echo effects that are added. With EAX AdvancedHD, this would sound the same as regular EAX unless you were down in that hallway before you set foot into the arena, and heard something moving in the arena, in which case you'll hear sounds coming from the arena into the hallway where you are standing. Without AdvancedHD you just hear the sounds as if they were from far away in the hallway, with no "distant arena" effect added in. (I don't know if Oblivion uses EAX BTW, this is just a hypothetical example.)
Also the differences between eax 1.0 through 5.0 (aside from AdvancedHD being added in 3.0) are only changes in the maximum number of audio samples that can be processed at a given time.
(and off topic a bit, FWIW, vista doesn't remove eax nor directsound3d as many fud spreaders claim, it just removes HAL support which tends to be buggy, and this made creative freak out because now their marketing team has to change its tactics)
I'm well aware that EAX is not a form of surround sound by any means, but Creative does want their customers to think otherwise- and that is more or less why I even mentioned it:
Turn stereo music and movies into surround sound
X-Fi CMSS-3D technology expands your stereo MP3s and digital movies into surround sound over multichannel speakers, stereo speakers or even headphones. Voices are centered in front of you and ambient sounds are moved all around you.
Also, notice to the right on that page, the Alchemy ad- it says "Get Surround Sound Back".
But yes, I am aware of and agree with everything you said. It is just with CL's marketing most people are unaware that EAX is not actually surround sound. Again, that is the only reason why I mentioned it.

Josh Byrnes Rumors
NL West Notes: Byrnes, O'Brien, Petit
Here's the latest from the NL West.
- Rumors that the Dodgers are interested in Josh Byrnes for a front office role are gaining steam, writes Ken Gurnick of MLB.com. The former Diamondbacks and Padres GM was seen taking in an AFL game with Dodgers president Stan Kasten and special adviser Pat Corrales. Interestingly, Los Angeles has openings at GM and farm director – both positions that fit Byrnes' resume. He began his front office career as a scout in the Indians organization, eventually moving up to scouting director before leaving with Dan O'Dowd for an assistant GM post in Colorado. If Byrnes does latch on with the Dodgers, it will be his fourth NL West organization.
- New Diamondbacks catching prospect Peter O'Brien is known for his power but comes with questions about his defense, reports Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. When the Diamondbacks acquired O'Brien from the Yankees for Martin Prado, they knew he might not stick behind the dish. For what it's worth, O'Brien says all the right things about his dedication to catching. Arizona farm director Mike Bell also sounds positive, saying "he just needs to catch more." Including the AFL, O'Brien has blasted 37 home runs in 444 plate appearances across four levels this season.
- Giants swingman Yusmeiro Petit journeyed an unlikely road from the majors to Mexico and back again, reports the Associated Press in The New York Times. The right-hander reinvented himself in Mexico and Venezuela during the 2011 campaign. Ultimately, Giants hitting coach Hensley Meulens and minor league instructor Jose Alguacil rediscovered Petit and recommended him to the organization. The rest, as they say, is history. Petit has contributed to two critical postseason wins as part of an excellent October.

Josh Byrnes A "Leading Candidate" For Dodgers Role
4:55pm: Friedman has spoken with Byrnes about the position, ESPNLosAngeles.com's Mark Saxon reports. For his part, Friedman declined to address the matter.
As Saxon further notes, Friedman indicated that finding a new farm director to take over for De Jon Watson was the first priority. It remains to be seen, says Saxon, whether longtime scouting director Logan White will stay in place.
12:56pm: Former Padres GM Josh Byrnes is a "leading candidate" to land an executive role that would effectively make him second in command under new Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
Heyman's sources indicate that Byrnes' experience is viewed as a plus by Dodgers ownership, and Byrnes' philosophical view on the game is similar to that of Friedman. They're also fairly close friends, according to Heyman, though little has been made of that connection in the past.
Former Nationals AGM Bryan Minniti and current Yankees AGM Billy Eppler have been previously considered as candidates but are now far less likely to get the job, Heyman hears.
With the Padres, Byrnes had his share of misses, particularly in terms of contract extensions. Multi-year pacts for Cameron Maybin, Cory Luebke, Nick Hundley, Carlos Quentin and Will Venable certainly haven't gone as planned, and the first year of Jedd Gyorko's extension was a disappointment as well. On the other hand, Byrnes has pulled off several excellent pitching acquisitions. He acquired Tyson Ross from Oakland in exchange for Andy Parrino and Andrew Werner, and this past offseason the trade package he received for Logan Forsythe and Brad Boxberger included Jesse Hahn and Alex Torres. He also picked up Ian Kennedy from the D'Backs in exchange for Joe Thatcher, relief prospect Matt Stites and a Round B competitive balance draft pick.

Padres Notes: GM Search, Byrnes, Cashner
Following the dismissal of GM Josh Byrnes over the weekend, the Padres are believed to be looking at external candidates, ESPN's Jim Bowden reports (Insider subscription required). In fact, Bowden writes, Padres ownership is believed to prefer a first-time GM with vision. Ownership is looking for an up-and-coming executive from a successful organization. Bowden lists five candidates that he feels fit that bill and provides some background on why each would be a success as a GM. His list includes Rangers assistant GM Thad Levine, A's assistant GM David Forst, Cubs VP of player development & amateur scouting Jason McLeod, Tigers assistant GM Al Avila, and Yankees director of amateur scouting Damon Oppenheimer.
After a tumultuous weekend in San Diego, here's more on the Padres…
- Byrnes joined Mike Ferrin and Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM and discussed the end of his tenure (audio link). Asked if he was surprised, Byrnes replied, "Not really. I think there's been an awful lot of change here as the new owners have come in and Mike Dee has come in. There's going to be attention focused on baseball as there should be – we're a baseball organization. …[T]here were higher expectations and, you know, we were not having a good season. …[W]hen you are an inherited GM and your team is not winning enough these things can happen." Asked about reports of his deteriorating relationship with ownership, Byrnes said, "I probably don't want to go there," but suggested that he and ownership didn't get on the same page regarding the team's identity.
- Dave Cameron of Fangraphs looks at comments from CEO Mike Dee stating that the team hadn't lived up to expectations and wonders where those expectations came from. Cameron looks back to the offseason and notes that few pundits and fans expected the Padres to be good this season. He opines that the Padres probably did need a change at the top, as they weren't building for the future nor were they built to win right now, and that, not falling shy of misguided expectations, should have been the motivation for the change.
- Byrnes was only a small part of the Padres' problem, writes Matt Calkins of the San Diego Union-Tribune. The Padres gave Byrnes the greenlight to spend more last offseason but their ~$90MM payroll put them at just 21st in the league. Much of the additional funds went to arbitration raises rather than external additions, Calkins notes, making the talk of increased payroll a bit misleading.
- Many Padres players were unhappy to hear of Byrnes' firing, writes MLB.com's Will Laws. "It's sad to see Josh go," said starting pitcher Andrew Cashner, who was acquired by Byrnes in a trade with the Cubs for Anthony Rizzo in January 2012. "He gave me an opportunity to start here and I'm grateful for that. But it's out of my control."
- Speaking of Cashner, the club announced today that he was placed on the 15-day disabled list with soreness in his right shoulder. Odrisamer Despaigne will take his place on the active roster, while Casey Kelly has been transferred to the 60-day DL to create room on the 40-man roster. Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune hears that the decision to place Cashner on the disabled list was more of a precaution than anything (Twitter link). Sanders adds that Cashner could pitch right now if needed, but given the state of the team, it made more sense to play it safe.

Padres Notes: Byrnes, Black, Whitson
It's been a busy day in San Diego with the firing of GM Josh Byrnes. Here are a few notes on the Padres.
- Byrnes' firing "begs for an explanation," Jon Heyman of CBS Sports writes. Byrnes hadn't been on the job long enough (less than three years) to follow through on a plan, and Heyman notes that the only winning team with a payroll lower than the Padres' right now is the Athletics. The Padres' new owners seem to believe that this year's Friars should have been a top team, Heyman writes. Byrnes has a good record with trades, and while some of the extensions to which he's signed younger players haven't worked, he received praise for the Jedd Gyorko deal, in particular, when it happened.
- The Padres do not have any immediate plans to fire manager Bud Black or hitting coach Phil Plantier, Heyman tweets.
- The Padres made the right move in firing Byrnes, MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince argues. With the trade deadline fast approaching, the Padres needed to act quickly if they had questions about Byrnes. Castrovince says that the Padres' new interim GM setup, with Omar Minaya, Fred Uhlman Jr. and A.J. Hinch occupying the position jointly, will be interesting, given that the trade deadline could help shape the Padres' future.
- Karsten Whitson, an 11th-round pick in this year's draft by the Red Sox, signed recently for $100K, losing out on $2MM after he reportedly rejected a $2.1MM offer when the Padres drafted him in 2010. But Whitson doesn't regret his decision to attend the University of Florida, Fangraphs' David Laurila reports. "My time at Florida was great," Whitson says. "I went to the College World Series, won two SEC championships, and graduated [with a degree in psychology]. It was a very tough decision, but after doing some self reflection I though it was the right choice." Whitson underwent a shoulder injury during his time at Florida that limited his bonus potential. He says he and the Padres (who were then run by Jed Hoyer, not Byrnes) did not discuss bonus parameters before they drafted him.

Padres Fire GM Josh Byrnes
The Padres have fired Executive Vice President/General Manager Josh Byrnes, tweets Scott Miller of Bleacher Report/Turner Sports. The team has confirmed Byrnes has been relieved of his duties.
"This ownership group is committed to fielding a team that consistently competes for postseason play," said Padres President and CEO Mike Dee in a statement. "Thus far this season, the results on the field have been mixed at best and clearly have not lived up to expectations. After a lengthy evaluation of every facet of our baseball operations, we have decided to make this change today. The search for a new General Manager begins immediately. We are looking for someone who can define, direct and lead this franchise's baseball philosophy for years to come."
The firing comes just two days after a report surfaced that Byrnes' relationship with ownership had deteriorated. The Padres hope to have someone in place by later this season, sources tell Miller (on Twitter). Red Sox Assistant GM Mike Hazen has already been discussed as a possible replacement for Byrnes, tweets ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes. USA Today's Bob Nightengale tweets the Padres have also discussed a reunion with Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers. In a separate tweet, Nightengale notes Towers (Padres GM from 1995 to 2009) is under contract in Arizona through 2016 but his job security has come into question with the hiring of Tony LaRussa. Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune (subscription required) lists five potential candidates: Towers, Larry Beinfest (ex-Marlins GM), Farhan Zaidi (A's assistant GM/director of baseball operations), David Forst (A's assistant GM), and Jason McLeod (a former Padre executive and currently the Cubs' senior vice president of player development and amateur scouting).
In the interim, Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations Omar Minaya and Assistant GMs A.J. Hinch and Fred Uhlman Jr. will assume Byrnes' responsibilities in what the Padres call the "office of the general manager." Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register tweets Minaya will be the point person for any trade talk. Miller reports manager Bud Black and his coaching staff are safe and is expected to remain so until a new general manager is hired (Twitter links).
The Padres have posted a 184-215 record since Byrnes was named general manager in October 2011 replacing Jed Hoyer. Per MLBTR's Transaction Tracker, Byrnes' two highest-profile transactions were acquiring Andrew Cashner from the Cubs for Anthony Rizzo and dealing Mat Latos to the Reds for a package of Yonder Alonso, Yasmani Grandal, Brad Boxberger, and Edinson Volquez. Byrnes has also handed out five contract extensions of three years or more during his tenure (Cameron Maybin, Nick Hundley – since traded to Baltimore – Cory Luebke, Carlos Quentin, and Jedd Gyorko), but was unable to hammer one out with third baseman Chase Headley.

Padres GM Josh Byrnes Could Be On Hot Seat
GM Josh Byrnes' relationship with the Padres' ownership has "deteriorated," FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal writes, and one scenario is that the team could fire Byrnes and replace him with fellow Padres exec A.J. Hinch on an interim basis. Tony Gwynn's recent passing could prevent the Padres from making such a move immediately, but Rosenthal suggests that they'll need to make a decision soon, with the trade deadline on the horizon. Chase Headley, Carlos Quentin (who could waive his no-trade clause), Ian Kennedy and Huston Street could all wind up on the trade market, and the team could also get plenty of talent if it traded Andrew Cashner.
Reports last week indicated that there could soon be a shakeup within the Padres organization, with hitting coach Phil Plantier and manager Bud Black possibly among the most vulnerable, though Rosenthal reports that it's Byrnes whose situation is most uncertain. At 32-42, the Padres are in the midst of what could be their fourth straight losing season, despite a payroll increase last winter.

Padres Notes: Quentin, Byrnes, Maybin, Roster
The brawl between the Padres and Dodgers last night left Zack Greinke sidelined for several weeks with a broken collarbone and put Carlos Quentin squarely in the media spotlight for charging the mound. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman and FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi both feel Major League Baseball should hand Quentin a significant penalty — Heyman suggests a 15-game suspension while Morosi opines that Quentin should be out for at least a month for seeking "vigilante justice" against Greinke. It may be a while before Quentin misses any action given that the outfielder is likely to appeal any suspension leveled against him by the league.
As the Padres kick off a series against the Rockies at Petco Park tonight, here are some more items out of sunny San Diego…
- Padres GM Josh Byrnes seems to have won the favor of the club's new ownership group, Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. New owners are often apt to bring in their own general managers though in the Padres' case, firing Byrnes would be costly given that he is under contract through the 2017 season.
- In his weekly chat with fans, Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune notes that Byrnes will likely "blow up the roster" (in the words of one fan) should the Padres fail to match last year's 76-86 record.
- Also from Center, Cameron Maybin has "no trade value" given his struggles at the plate and the roughly $22.8MM owed to him through the 2016 season. Maybin signed the five-year, $25MM extension prior to the 2012 campaign but hit just .243/.306/.349 last season and has just two hits in 27 AB to begin this season.
- From earlier today on MLBTR, the Padres signed first baseman Brandon Allen to a minor league contract.

West Notes: Dodgers, Giants, Angels, Padres
Here's a look at some news out of the AL and NL West..
- The Dodgers are letting teams know that shortstop Dee Gordon is available, tweets Bob Nightengale of the USA Today. Gordon could represent a fallback option for teams who lose out on Stephen Drew. Earlier today, we learned five teams are in on Drew.
- The Giants are looking for a center fielder and are talking to Michael Bourn, Angel Pagan, and Shane Victorino, tweets CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman.
- The Angels are aren't acting like they're confident of landing Zack Greinke, writes Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. The Angels seem to be trolling for much cheaper starting pitching options like Ryan Dempster and Shaun Marcum, as opposed to Anibal Sanchez and Kyle Lohse.
- The Dodgers' shopping list includes Greinke, a fourth outfielder that can play center, and a backup corner infielder, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. Gurnick also says negotiations continue with lefty reliever Randy Choate.
- Padres GM Josh Byrnes doesn't expect to be very busy during the Winter Meetings, reports Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune. "I expect to do one thing, maybe two," said Byrnes. "I'm not expecting to do a lot. We're filling the holes, not roster reshaping." The Padres are looking for starting pitching and have depth at the corner outfield slots, in the bullpen, and at middle infield. The names most often mentioned as possible trade chips, according to Center, are Luke Gregerson, Joe Thatcher, and Jesus Guzman.
- The Rangers are interested in talking with the Mets about R.A. Dickey at the Winter Meetings this week, a source tells T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com. The Rangers aren't alone in having interest in the knuckleballer as the Mets have taken calls from six or seven teams looking to swing a trade. The Mets are expected to look for outfield help and catching in a deal.
- The Rockies are considering a run at left-hander Daniel Schlereth as they look to improve their bullpen, according to Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The 26-year-old became a free agent this week when he was non-tendered by the Tigers.
- The Rockies are looking to restore their rotation, but not rebuild it entirely, writes Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. The club will look to bolster their starting five with a veteran presence and they are known to have interest in free agent right-hander Kevin Correia.

Byrnes On Free Agency, Padres
At this point in the offseason, when the free agent market features impact players capable of improving any club, it's easy to forget that some teams can't rely on free agency — especially not in early November, when asking prices are high and bargains have yet to emerge. Padres general manager Josh Byrnes is considering free agents, but at this point he ranks free agency third in importance behind trades and developing internally.
"Is it going to happen through trade or free agency or patience? Probably a little bit of all, but probably not as much in free agency as some people think," Byrnes told MLBTR at the GM Meetings in Indian Wells.
Six of the Padres' starting pitchers — Cory Luebke, Andrew Cashner, Anthony Bass, Casey Kelly, Joe Wieland and Robbie Erlin — recently dealt with injuries, which makes it difficult to project the 2013 rotation (Wieland and Luebke are recovering from Tommy John surgery). The Padres could look to obtain some certainty by supplementing their rotation with free agents. If they do pursue players on the open market, they might choose to do so relatively late in the offseason. Often team-friendly deals emerge in January or even February.
"That's certainly recent history," Byrnes said. "When I was in Arizona we signed guys like [Adam] LaRoche or [Jon] Garland late in the offseason. The early offseason is usually the heavyweights financially but we have to stay active and know what's out there and, as I said, be patient and disciplined."
Byrnes said the Padres will remain flexible in case the unexpected occurs and it becomes advantageous to change plans. For now it doesn't sound as though those plans are oriented around the free agent market.

Quick Hits: Byrnes, Hoyer, Cain, Mets, Chamberlain
Ten years and one day ago today, the Marlins traded Matt Clement and Antonio Alfonseca to the Cubs for Julian Tavarez, Ryan Jorgensen, Jose Cueto, and Dontrelle Willis. Willis alone made the deal worthwhile for the Fish. Here's the latest from around the league…
- When Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein first called former Padres CEO Jeff Moorad for permission to speak to a member of his front office, he asked about assistant GM Josh Byrnes according to Dan Hayes of The North County Times. Epstein was instead allowed to speak to GM Jed Hoyer because "he was the GM of a last-place team," said Moorad.
- There has been some recent "back and forth" between the Giants and Matt Cain about a contract extension, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Cain did say that his upcoming free agency is "an exciting part of your career."
- Outfielder Mike Baxter, catcher Mike Nickeas, and lefty Danny Herrera are front-runners for roster spots with the Mets, writes ESPN New York's Adam Rubin. Baxter and Herrera are not on the team's 40-man roster.
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman declined to comment when asked about Joba Chamberlain's contract situation according to Marc Carig of The Star-Ledger (on Twitter). The right-hander suffered an open dislocation of his right ankle playing with his son last week and could miss the season.
- When the Blue Jays and Athletics discussed Gio Gonzalez this offseason, Oakland asked for 19-year-old right-hander Noah Syndergaard according to Jeff Blair of The Globe and Mail. Baseball America ranked Snydergaard as Toronto's seventh best prospect in December.

Haml issues in a Sinatra app. I'm trying to output a collection of tables using data from a single array. This kind of thing works fine in non-significant-whitespace templates but Haml (understandably) can't work out that the %h2 and %table are meant to enclose the following %trs in the block below. Any ideas for a workaround? I could generate each table from a separate query but it's preferable to do them all at once.
You have to nest the %tr inside the %table to work in haml..
You could consider some other approach like grouping the records by election_d before and then iterating.
Assiming you're on ruby 1.9, you could try something like
@results.group_by{|result| result.election_d }.each do |election_date, row| %h2= election_date %table %tr %td
Thanks for that. I hadn't heard of group_by before but I can see how that's useful.
In the end I simplified it by using nested loops around first the elections and then the candidacies for each election as in this commit.

Renaissance Revisited: Assassin's Creed II DLC Revealed
by Ryan Davis on
Ubisoft teases two forthcoming DLC packs for its Italian jump-and-stab sequel.
Still, with little more than the titles to go from, a certain amount of informed speculation can be made about the nature of these add-ons. A quick Wikipedia search reveals that the Battle of Forli was an actual historical event that occurred in the same region that Assassin's Creed II takes place, though with it dated in 1282 AD, it precedes Ezio's story by several hundred years. Similarly, before it was a bad Bruce Willis movie, the Bonfire of the Vanities was a literal bonfire of items deemed to be sinful during a period of religious fervor, though its occurrence in Florence, Italy circa 1497 puts it smack dab in the middle of Assassin's Creed II's story. This all seems to keep with the tone of Assassin's Creed II, which routinely injected its own fictional tale of Templars and Assassins with people and events ripped from the pages of history.
With Assassin's Creed II still fresh in my mind, I'm actually pretty eager to have another excuse to return to its richly realized world and learn more about the grand conspiracies that drive it. And of course, to stab more dudes in the face.
UPDATE: Ubisoft PR says to expect more details about these DLC packs later this month. Also, as many of you have pointed out in the comments, it seems likely that this stuff will slot into the blank chapters that the main story in Assassin's Creed II skips over.

Certainly, there's been public outrage, led by victims' rights groups, when anyone has tried to profit from a violent crime.
Once some time passes, however, even the most heinous act of violence can be turned into a tourist attraction.
At the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Fall River, Mass., there's no shortage of thrill seekers ready to check in.
The seemingly quaint New England Inn is the very spot where Andrew and Abby Borden were hacked to death -- and in the last few years, it's been restored to its 1892 splendor, when the abode earned its infamy.
As the twisted nursery rhyme goes:
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she had seen what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one."
Borden was eventually acquitted, and now, a night in her room is $200.
If you want, you and your friends can rent the entire seven-bedroom house for $1,160. One couple even got married there last year. On Halloween, of course.
If that's too creepy, the house also offers daily tours, where you can pick up $5 hatchet-shaped silver earrings, gift books, T-shirts ("Axe Me Where I Live"), or a $10 vial of basement dust, which comes with a letter of authenticity.
"It's a little piece of history, a mystery that people can still share in," said co-owner Lee-Ann Wilber, who purchased the premises two years ago.
All over the country, yesteryear's crime scenes are today's tourist destinations.
Go to Jesse James' farm in Kearney, Mo., and see the bullet hole in the wall from when the famed gunslinger was killed.
James was standing on a chair and straightening a picture when a member of his outlaw gang shot him in the back in hopes of collecting a $10,000 reward.
The bullet is under Plexiglas and on display, along with a casting of James' skull.
At the Dalton Gang hideout in Meade, Kan., you can creep into the 95-foot-long escape tunnel that runs under the 19th century abode.
More action awaits at Ma Barker's place in Oklawaha, Fla., where they annually re-enact the Jan. 16, 1935, gunfight, when police riddled the home with 3,500 rounds of ammunition.
Then, try relaxing at Al Capone's hideout in Couderay, Wis., a fortified lakeside estate with bulletproof walls, gun turrets and a guard tower.
It's now a restaurant and bar.
Just don't confuse it with the mob boss' other makeshift museums, including a onetime Chicago speakeasy that's now Al Capone's Hideaway & Steakhouse.
Among other historical items, a sign in the men's room says, "Big Al Was Here."
People often feel compelled to visit tragic locations, a motivation that might go back as far as the very first battlefield monument.
You can't say crowds go to Capone's hideout or Borden's place to pay their respects, though.
"It's really a matter of time and taste before something like this becomes acceptable," Epting said.
"I can't imagine the Ramsey house turned into anything like the Borden house, ever. It's not just violence. It's a horrible crime against a child, and that's a million miles over the line."
Perhaps only in America can an outlaw like Jesse James rob a railroad in 1873, and then, 81 years later, get the railroad to erect a monument to commemorate this evil deed.
You'll also find such a monument in Adair, Iowa, where his crew committed one of the first train robberies of the Old West, hauling off $2,000.

Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post has reported the Miami Dolphins are "well into discussions" with the league office on a "fresh new look" for 2013. The NFL and the Dolphins have been "trading emails for several weeks," swapping mock-ups of possible changes to the cartoon Dolphins wearing a white helmet with an orange "M" on the side, in front of an outline of the sun.It's not a certainty that change is coming, team CEO Mike Dee told Volin. The goal, however, is to consider a desire from fans to see the team "freshen up" its look. Here are a number of ideas.… Read more
