According to multiple reports (starting with Jon Heyman and CBSSports.com), the Dodgers were secret bidders for free-agent slugger Prince Fielder — in part motivated by a need to respond to the Angels' signing of Albert Pujols and enhance the value of the team during the sale process (and TV contract negotiations).
The Dodgers were apparently pursuing Fielder before the Tigers jumped in and landed him with a nine-year, $214 million deal. The Dodgers offer reportedly went only as far as seven years (for $50-60 million less than the Tigers' package, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.com) and included an opt-out clause after the first four.
The Dodgers recently signed homegrown star Matt Kemp to an eight-year, $160 million contract extension. The offer to Fielder was for approximately the same money in one year less and was front-loaded with salaries around $26 million per year in the four seasons before he could activate the opt-out clause.
"It didn't get to the ninth inning. It got to about the sixth inning," a Dodgers source told FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal of the team's pursuit of Fielder.
Though the outward impression was that Fielder's market this winter was slow to develop, there was a strong suspicion all along that Fielder's agent, Scott Boras, was moving slowly in hopes of drawing the Dodgers (and a potential new owner) into the bidding. Score another one for Boras — he was not only right about the Dodgers being motivated to sign Fielder but drew another team into the bidding in the process when the Tigers lost Victor Martinez to a season-ending knee injury.

Air blast injuries likely killed the crew of the Hunley
The mystery of the Hunley's last crew has been solved. A paper by University of Florida researchers supported by the US Army MURI program and others has come to the conclusion, after repeatedly setting blasts near a scale model of the human-powered submersible, that the crew was killed by the blast wave from their torpedo, crushing their lungs and giving them TBIs. That explains why they were all found at their stations, with no broken bones, and the submarine was relatively intact.
The Hunley set off a 61.2 kg (135 lb) black powder torpedo at a distance less than 5 m (16 ft) off its bow. Scaled experiments were performed that measured black powder and shock tube explosions underwater and propagation of blasts through a model ship hull. This propagation data was used in combination with archival experimental data to evaluate the risk to the crew from their own torpedo. The blast produced likely caused flexion of the ship hull to transmit the blast wave; the secondary wave transmitted inside the crew compartment was of sufficient magnitude that the calculated chances of survival were less than 16% for each crew member. The submarine drifted to its resting place after the crew died of air blast trauma within the hull.
156 years ago today: The polyglot Garibaldi at Bull Run
On 21 July 1861, some 30,000~ Americans met on the field of battle south of Washington D.C. and let the cork out of the bottle on the epic bloodletting of the Civil War. Until then, although there had been a number of sharp incidents, peace was still an option. After the First Battle of Bull Run, also known as Battle of First Manassas, there was no turning back.
One of the more colorful units on the fields of Prince Williams County that day was the 39th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, best known as the "Garibaldi Guard."
The unit was formed just nine weeks earlier by the flamboyant Hungarian Col. Frederick George D'Utassy who, at the ripe old age of 37 claimed prior wartime service as a field and staff officer in several European armies prior to his immigration to the states, and worked as a language professor (speaking 12 of them fluently). The regiment was a foreign legion of sorts comprising 11 companies of men of different national heritage from New York's streets: three German, three Hungarian, one Swiss, one Italian, one French, one Spanish, and one Portuguese.
As such, they looked unlike any other U.S. infantry force at the time.
The Guard attached into the 1st Brigade (Col. Louis Blenker) of the 5th Division (Col. Dixon S. Miles) and was in reserve at Manassas– but by most accounts they gave good service in helping cover the Union retreat.
They fought for the rest of the Civil War (often among themselves) and were disbanded 1 July 1865. The regiment suffered a total of 274 fatalities during the conflict, most from disease or by prisoners who died in Confederate POW camps.
As for D'Utassy, he was court-martialed in 1863 for "fraud and conduct prejudicial to military discipline" after selling the position of Major in his regiment, forging muster rolls, and forging accounts. He was discharged 29 May 1863 and, after a brief stint in Sing-Sing, became an insurance salesman.
Warship Wednesday, July 19, 2017: The Belgian sword master and his legacy
Here at LSOZI, we are going to take off every Wednesday for a look at the old steam/diesel navies of the 1859-1946 time period and will profile a different ship each week. These ships have a life, a tale all their own, which sometimes takes them to the strangest places. – Christopher Eger
Warship Wednesday, July 19, 2017: The Belgian sword master and his legacy
Here we see the Butler-class destroyer escort USS Corbesier (DE 438) in an undated photo, likely somewhere in the Pacific in late WWII. She was named after an extremely well-known (for his time) expert with a blade.
"Cutlasses, lads!" was a standard call to prepare to repel boarders going back to the Continental Navy with Colonial armorer Richard Gridley and John Bailey reportedly crafting a number of these curved short swords for Washington's fleet.
As described by JO2 Meckel in 1957's "The Cutlass Carved Its Niche in Our Navy's Annals," the fledgling U.S. Navy ordered small lots of cutlasses from sword makers Nathan Starr of Middletown, Connecticut; Lewis Prahl of Philadelphia; and Robert Dingie of New York.
Starr later made three different 2,000-cutlass lots in 1808 (for $2.50 each), 1816 ($3.00) and 1826 ($4.25)– talk about inflation! These were needed in large numbers as frigates such as the USS Constitution were authorized no less than 156 cutlasses.
These early swords were later augmented and then replaced by the Ames Cutlass in two variants (1842 and 1860) with the latter, remaining in service amazingly through WWII.
Moving from the Barbary Wars and War of 1812 to the Civil War, the Navy's love affair with the cutlass remained intact, even as armor plate, steam engines, Gatling repeaters, torpedoes (mines) and rifled naval guns moved combat into modern terms.
With the need to remain trained in these traditional edged weapons, you need a sword master.
Enter one very dapper Antoine Joseph Corbesier, a man skilled at the noble art of attack and parry with a sword.
As noted by DANFS, Corbesier was born 22 January 1837 in Belgium and, after service with the French, emigrated to America.
As described by Fencing Classics, "A brief advertisement in the New York Tribune, from October 19, 1863, places him in New York during the time of the Civil War, where he was a teacher at the New York Fencing Club before opening his own school."
By 1865, the 28-year-old European fencer was Sword-Master of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and, had made such an impression on the very gruff Admiral David Dixon Porter, then Superintendent, that Porter endorsed Corbesier's 76-page text on sword fighting published in 1868.
"Principles of Squad Instruction for the Broadsword" soon became the standard tome for the use of naval cutlasses in the U.S. Navy and the influence can be seen for decades, along with other works he produced on the bayonet.
Meanwhile, new ships coming on line, even though they were modern steam vessels lit by electric light, were still given their (reduced) allotment of cutlasses which, in naval tradition, would remain aboard until the ship was removed from the Naval List, ensuring the swords would float around through the Spanish-American War, Great War, and even into WWII.
By special act of Congress, after more than 40 years of instruction at the Academy, Corbesier was given the rank of first lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps 4 March 1913.
He died in the Naval Hospital at Annapolis on 26 March 1915, where he lived at the time.
His obituary ran in several nautical journals of the day, the below from Seven Seas Magazine.
Even with the great swordsman gone, the Navy kept the cutlass on tap, and they continued to see service in far flung ports when needed, even apparently being broken out once or twice in China as late as the 1930s.
On the eve of the Great War, the Navy attempted to replace the Civil War-era Ames Cutlass with the new M1917 Naval Cutlass, based on the Dutch Klewang boarding sword, though its adoption seems more miss than hit.
Then came this:
JJ55-3/1510, 15 October 1942
1.Officers of the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps, shall no longer be required to possess swords as part of their uniform equipment.
2.The various uniform regulations will be modified accordingly.
3.It is expected that a form of dirk will, in due course, be adopted as uniform equipment in lieu of the sword.
4.Due to the urgent need for metals, it is suggested that officers, who may so desire, turn in their swords for scrap.-SecNav. Frank Knox.
This order, as noted by NHHC Curator Mark Wertheimer in 2003, did not affect cutlasses still in unit and vessel armories, and they "remained an ordnance allowance item until 1949" indeed, being done away with in by NavOrd Inst. 4500-1 in November 1949. Reportedly, some Marines even carried them ashore in the Pacific for use as machetes during the jungle fighting of WWII.
However, the swordsman may have been gone, and his weapons headed for the literal scrap heap, but he was not forgotten.
On 11 November 1943 at Dravo shipyard in Wilmington, Delaware, a Cannon-class destroyer escort was named USS Corbesier (DE-106) in his honor. She went on to be commissioned as the Free French Naval ship Sénégalais (T-22) on 2 January 1944, which is fitting to a degree based on Corbesier's French military service in the days of Napoleon III.
Sénégalais went on to seriously damage German submarine U-371 just five months after she was taken over by the French, taking a German homing torpedo in the exchange.
The French ship went on to serve that Navy until 1965, being scrapped in Germany.
Meanwhile, a second USS Corbesier, (DE-438), a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort, was launched in 1944 by Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., Kearny, N.J. Commissioned 31 March 1944, she sailed for the Pacific and performed ASW missions and general escort duties.
On 23 January 1945, with sisters Conklin (DE-439) and Raby (DE-698), Corbesier sank the Japanese submarine I-48 off Yap Island.
23 January 1945:
15 miles NE of Yap Island. At 0310, USS CORBESIER (DE-438) makes a radar contact at about 9,800 yds. The target is heading 210 degrees at 18 kts. After CORBESIER closes to investigate, I-48 dives. At 0336, CORBESIER obtains a sound contact and fires a salvo of Mk.10 "Hedgehog" projector charges but misses. CONKLIN and RABY (DE-698) join the chase. CORBESIER makes five more Hedgehog attacks, all with negative results, finally, losing the contact.
At 0902, CORBESIER regains contact and executes another "Hedgehog" attack, again with negative results. At 0912, CORBESIER reestablishes sound contact with the sub, but loses it before an attack can be made. CONKLIN makes a new "Hedgehog" attack at 0934, from a distance of 550 yds. Seventeen seconds later, four or five explosions are heard from an estimated depth of 175 ft. At 0936, a violent explosion occurs, temporarily disabling CONKLIN's engines and steering gear. Huge air bubbles come up alongside; soon thereafter oil and debris surface. Large quantities of human remains are likewise sighted.
17 miles N of Yap. A motor whaleboat from CONKLIN picks up pieces of planking, splintered wood, cork, interior woodwork with varnished surfaces, a sleeve of a knitted blue sweater containing flesh, chopsticks and a seaman's manual. I-48 is sunk with her 118-strong crew and four kaiten pilots at 09-55N, 138-17.30E
It wasn't gentlemanly swordplay, but it was no less deadly.
Corbesier went on to serve off Okinawa, parrying attacks from Japanese kamikaze off Okinawa. She completed the war with two battle stars, and berthed at San Diego, was decommissioned in 1946. She was scrapped in 1972.
The Navy has not named another vessel after Adm. Porter's sword master.
They did bring back the officer's dress sword in 1952, in 2011 CPOs were granted the authority to carry a mil-spec cutlass on certain occasions, and today the (ceremonial) use of the sword is instilled in the Marine's Corporal's Course, so there is that.
And yes, there are still a few old-school Ames-style cutlasses around, which would warm Corbesier's heart.
His "Principles of Squad Instruction for the Broadsword" is in the public domain, has been digitized, and is widely available, ensuring that it will endure.
And of course, if you are passing through the Naval Academy, stop by the Cemetery and Columbarium, and visit Lot 394 to pay your respects.
Yet, "If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines," holds true, the swordsman may still be holding class.

Robert Gould Shaw's sword, thought lost to history, found in attic
Descendants of Col. Robert Gould Shaw, killed leading the 54th Massachusetts Regiment during the Civil War, recently stumbled across his sword.
Last week the Massachusetts Historical Society announced they had acquired a collection of Shaw's papers, photographs, and relics, to include his engraved Wilkinson sword, which he was carrying when he was killed.
"To have located 'the holy grail of Civil War swords' is a remarkable discovery," said MHS President Dennis Fiori in a statement. "Through an amazing research effort, our curator and staff were able to put together a detailed timeline to authenticate the sword."
The sword, a Wilkinson given to him by his uncle when the 25-year-old was promoted to full colonel of volunteers just weeks before the grim frontal attack that claimed his life, was found in an attic by descendants of his sister.
Gould's actions, and the 54th, would be retold in 1989's Glory.
A special Combat Gallery Sunday: The original Fighting Irish, on the eve of the Wheatfield, 154 years ago
On July 2nd 1863, minutes before the Irish Brigade would charge the Wheatfield at Gettysburg, Father William Corby gave absolution to the men. Corby would later become President of Notre Dame University and the following quote from Col. St. Clair Mulholland comes from their web page on Corby:
Colonel St. Clair Mulholland was attached with the Irish Brigade and later gave this account of Corby's famous absolution [Originally published in the Philadelphia Times, reprinted in Scholastic, April 3, 1880, pages 470-471]:
There is yet a few minutes to spare before starting, and the time is occupied in one of the most impressive religious ceremonies I have ever witnessed. The Irish Brigade, which had been commanded formerly by General Thomas Francis Meagher, and whose green flag had been unfurled in every battle in which the Army of the Potomac had been engaged from the first Bull Run to Appomattox, was now commanded by Colonel Patrick Kelly, of the Eighty-eighth New York, and formed a part of this division. The brigade stood in columns of regiments closed in mass. As the large majority of its members were Catholics, the Chaplain of the brigade Rev. William Corby, CSC, proposed to give a general absolution to all the men before going into the fight. While this is customary in the armies of Catholic countries of Europe, it was perhaps the first time it was ever witnessed on this continent… Father Corby stood upon a large rock in front of the brigade, addressing the men; he explained what he was about to do, saying that each one would receive the benefit of the absolution by making a sincere Act of Contrition, and firmly resolving to embrace the first opportunity of confessing his sins, urging them to do their duty well, and reminding them of the high and sacred nature of their trust as soldiers and the noble object for which they fought. The brigade was standing at "Order arms," and as he closed his address, every man fell on his knees, with head bowed down. Then, stretching his right hand towards the brigade, Father Corby pronounced the words of absolution. The scene was more than impressive, it was awe-inspiring. Near by, stood General Hancock, surrounded by a brilliant throng of officers, who had gathered to witness this very unusual occurrence and while there was profound silence in the ranks of the Second Corps, yet over to the left, out by the peach orchard and Little Round Top, where Weed, and Vincent, and Haslett were dying, the roar of the battle rose and swelled and reechoed through the woods. The act seemed to be in harmony with all the surroundings. I do not think there was a man in the brigade who did not offer up a heartfelt prayer. For some it was their last; they knelt there in their grave-clothes — in less than half an hour many of them were numbered with the dead of July 2.

Cadet Custer was the "Goat" of his class at the USMA (1860) and went on to become something of a celebrated "boy general" leading Michigan volunteer cavalry in Northern Virginia during the Civil War. He went from a 2nd Lieutenant commanding a troop of 20 horse soldiers to command of a full brigade in two years.
In 1866, he dropped back down from Maj. General of Volunteers to Captain in the peacetime regulars before working his way back up to Lt. Colonel and making his last bad decision on this day in 1876, age 36.
Warship Wednesday, June 21, 2017: The Tsar's everlasting musketeer
Here at LSOZI, we are going to take off every Wednesday for a look at the old steam/diesel navies of the 1859-1946 time period and will profile a different ship each week. These ships have a life, a tale all their own, which sometimes takes them to the strangest places. – Christopher Eger
Warship Wednesday, June 21, 2017: The Tsar's everlasting musketeer
Here we see the Uragan/Bronenosets-class monitor Strelets as she appeared in the heyday of her career in the late 19th Century in the Baltic Fleet of the Tsar's Imperial Russian Navy. A byproduct of a strange time in Russian-U.S. history, she somehow endures today.
The Misinterpreted Russian Navy Mission in the US Civil War that may have accidentally helped the North win the conflict.
In 1863, it looked as if the mighty British Empire may intervene in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. War fever had come to London early in the conflict after the "Trent Affair" while British firms such as Enfield and Whitworth sold tremendous amounts of arms of all kinds to Confederate agents which were in turn often smuggled through the U.S. naval quarantine via British blockade-runners. Confederate raiders including the notorious CSS Alabama and CSS Shenandoah were constructed in English harbors. British war tourist Colonel (later General Sir) Arthur Fremantle in 1863 had just returned from three months in both the U.S. and Confederate commands fighting the war and loudly pronounced that the Confederates would certainly be victorious.
Relations between the United States and Tsarist Russia were warmer than with many other European nations at the time. Cassius Marcellus Clay, a well-known abolitionist, was ambassador to the court of Tsar Alexander II during the conflict. It was Clay's report on the Tsar's Emancipation of 23 million serfs in 1861 that helped pave the way for Lincolns own Emancipation Proclamation of the four million slaves the next year. American engineers and railway organizers were helpful in starting the early Russian railway system. Clay openly encouraged a military alliance and thought of Russia as a hedge between possible British intervention on the Confederate side.
On 24 September 1863, two separate Russian naval squadrons arrived in U.S. waters unannounced on both the East and West Coasts.
The Russian Atlantic fleet had sailed from the Baltic and arrived at New York under command of RADM Lesovskii with three large frigates and a trio of smaller vessels. The fleet included the new and fearsome 5,100-ton U.S.-built screw frigate Alexander Nevsky with her 51 60-pounder naval guns.
The Russian Pacific fleet that arrived on the West Coast at San Francisco was under command of RADM Popov and consisted of four small gunboats with a pair of armed merchant cruisers.
The ships were saluted and allowed entry as being on a friendly port call. The American media and political machine immediately interpreted the reason for these naval visits as clear Russian support for Lincoln.
The real reason, however, seems to be something quite different.
Poland, largely occupied by Russia, was in open revolt in the summer of 1863. The crisis that followed included the possibility that Britain and or France would intervene on the side of the insurgent Poles. The Tsar, fearing his isolated Pacific and Atlantic naval squadrons would be seized or destroyed by superior British or French units in the event of war, sent them into neutral U.S. ports to seek refuge. This fact was held from the Americans and the fleets' Russian officers simply stated that they were in American ports for "not unfriendly purposes."
The respective admirals of the Russian squadrons had sealed orders to place themselves at the disposal of the U.S. government in the event of a joint British or French intervention on both Russia and the United States. In the event of Russia entering war with the Anglo-French forces alone then the Russian ships were to sortie against the commercial fleets of those vessels as best as they could and then seek internment.
Several historians claim that the British government saw this mysterious visit by the Russians in U.S. waters as an open confirmation of a secret military pact between the two future superpowers. This interpretation further helped deter foreign recognition of the Confederate cause and resulted in the extinguishing of the South's flame of hope. It can also be claimed that it stalled British intervention in the Tsar's problems in Poland with the thought that it could result in a U.S. invasion of Canada.
When the Polish crisis abated in April 1864, the Russian fleets were recalled quietly to their respective home waters. The dozen Tsarist warships had conducted port calls and training cruises in U.S. and neighboring waters for almost seven months during the war while managing to avoid the conflict altogether. In the late fall of 1863, with rumors of Confederate raiders lurking on the West Coast, Popov reassured to the governor of California that he and his fleet would indeed protect the coast of their de facto ally if the raiders did appear.
The U.S. Navy, on the cutting edge of ironclad steam warship design, passed along plans and expertise to their Russian colleagues who had no such vessels. By 1865, the Tsar had a fleet of 10 ultra-modern 200-foot long ironclad battleships based on the monitor USS Passaic. These ships, known to the Russians as the Uragan/Bronenosetz class were a match for any European navy of the time– at least in their home waters.
In 1867, Russian Ambassador Baron Stoeckel advised US Secretary Seward that the Russian government would entertain bids for the failing colony of Alaska, which was rapidly accepted. Cassius Clay, still in Russia, helped to conduct the negations from inside the Winter Palace. The Russians even rapidly transferred control of the territory, which was seen by many to be worthless nearly a year before Congress ratified the transfer and in effect, couldn't give it back.
This odd incident of the Russian fleets' visit may have prevented what would have certainly been one of the planet's first and possibly oddest of world wars. The real reasons for the Russian interlude were only uncovered and publicized nearly 50 years later in 1915 by military historian Frank Golder.
But let's get back to the monitors
These modified Passaic-type ships were low in the water, single turret "cheesebox on a raft" style armored ships that could be fearsome in coastal waters. Their wrought-iron armor, stacked in 1-inch plates, varied between a single plate on deck to 10 inches on the turret, which was filled with a pair of 9-inch smoothbore guns with 100 shells each. The steam-powered turret took 35 seconds to make a full rotation.
A pair of boilers vented through a single stack pushed a 460ihp engine to about 8-knots when wide open, though in actuality they rarely broke 6.
As they had a very low freeboard indeed (just 18 inches above the waterline when fully loaded) the ships were intended for the defense of the Gulf of Finland and St. Petersburg, with memories of the Anglo-French fleet ruling the Baltic during the Crimean War still a recent memory.
Ten vessels were built, all with colorful names: Uragan "Hurricane," Tifon "Typhon," Strelets "Sagittarius," Edinorog "Unicorn," Bronenosets "Armadillo," Latnik "Cuirassier," Koldun "Sorcerer," Perun (the Slavic god of lightning and thunder), Veshchun "Snake Charmer," and Lava.
The hero of our story, Strelets, while named for a zodiac symbol for Sagittarius, was the Tsarist terminology for the early corps of musketeers established in the 16th century and retained until Peter the Great decided they were getting too big for their collective britches after a series of palace coups by the Moscow-based units.
Laid down at the Galernyi Island Shipyard, Saint Petersburg on 1 December 1863, just weeks after her plans had been obtained in the U.S., she was commissioned 15 June 1865, built at a cost of 1.1 million rubles alongside sister Edinorog. The pair were the last of the 10 completed.
Their eight remaining sisters were completed in a series of four other yards, with all joining the fleet by the summer of 1865.
By 1868, the 9-inch smoothbores were replaced by 15-inch Dahlgren-style guns built to U.S. plans at the Aleksandrovsk gun factory, for which just 50 shells could be carried in her magazine.
However, these guns were soon obsolete and were in turn replaced by Krupp-designed, Obukhov-made M1867 229/14 breechloaders. One of these guns was the subject of an explosion near the breech in 1876 that claimed the lives of five.
This led to another armament replacement in 1878 with 229/19 M1877 rifles augmented by a pair of 45-mm rapid-fire guns on an increasingly cluttered deck to which 5-barreled 37/17 Hotchkiss revolving cannon were also later added.
Rapidly obsolete in the twilight of the 19th Century, on 1 February 1892 Strelets and the rest of her class were deemed "coastal defense ships" and by 1900 all 10 sisters were withdrawn from service and disarmed.
While many were soon scrapped, Strelets was reclassified as a floating workshop at Kronstadt on 22 February 1901 and was retained by the fleet until Christmas Eve 1955.
As such, she witnessed the Baltic Fleet sail away to destruction in the Russo-Japanese War in (1904-05), supported operations against the Germans (1914-1917) in the Great War, witnessed the Red Fleet rise in the Revolution, withstood the British in the Russian Civil War, survived the storming of Kronstadt by the Reds in 1921, lent her shops to the Red Banner Fleet against the Finns (1939-40) then the Germans again (1941-45)– in all spending over 90 years on the rolls in one form or another.
After leaving naval service she was retained in a variety of roles in and around Leningrad/St. Petersburg and in 2015 was found in floating condition, her internals still showing off those classic Civil War lines.
She has since been recovered by a group terming itself "The Foundation for Historic Boats" who, together with the Russian Central Military History Museum, are attempting to restore her to a more monitor-like condition. She could very well be the oldest monitor remaining afloat.

Yep, he's dead all right!
Thousands of Bahraini Shiites renewed their PHONY pro-democracy protests, defying martial law. The video below is allegedly a Bahraini policeman run over and beaten to death by anti-government protesters.
This is not about democracy, it is about Shiite Fundamentalists wanting to depose Sunni Fundamentalists.
OBSERVERS france24 –After initially making some concessions to try to appease the protest movement, the Sunni monarchy launched a military intervention backed by Saudi troops on Wednesday, March 16, to put down a month-long Shiite-led uprising, using tanks and helicopters to drive protesters from the streets. The UN denounced shocking and illegal abuses by security forces on Thursday, warning that reported takeovers of hospitals and medical facilities were a blatant violation of international law.
I saw them murdering a policeman with my own eyes!
Bahraini woman says her husband shot the below video of a man, reportedly a policeman, being deliberately run over several times by a black SUV. "We heard a car pull up very quickly so we went out on the balcony. There, we saw the occupants of a black SUV open the trunk of the car and pull an unconscious man out. Even if they were far away, we recognised his black policeman uniform." "I believe the occupants of the car were anti-government protesters who were acting out of revenge for the government intervention. The protesters say they are not violent but that is not true. They have an agenda, and it is not democratic, it is religious: the Shiites want to impose an Islamist government like in Iran. They attacked a policeman, they have targeted foreigners. Now they will attack anyone, I am very afraid.

Customer Champions' 2016 predictions
Predictions for customer experience management in 2016.
The world economy is mixed with some countries continuing to see growth, others struggling to keep out of recession, and others growing but not at their previous high rates. Whilst every business is arguably global these days, in that they can be impacted by market changes, there is one consistent issue in every market, and that is the power of the customer. Ultimately they have the ability to determine the success or failure of the vast majority of businesses around the world. So what are the Customer Champions' 2016 predictions?
Whether your company is focussed on customer strategy, centricity, effort or net promoter score the result that every organisation is focused on is 'will my customer spend more, buy a greater range of products or services from me, and will they actively recommend my business?'
So with that common goal we thought we'd take the brave step of making some predictions of what will be key to helping you deliver that in 2016.
1. Net Promoter Score remains the number one measure
Although other measures such as Effort, or Value have been put forward the Net Promoter Score continues to be the one measure that is recognised and understood by many leadership teams. You have to take a balanced view on whether NPS is right for your business, but its simplicity and industry currency will ensure that it will remain the most popular measure of customer feedback.
2. The full impact of Employee Engagement on Customer Engagement will be recognised
Increasingly companies will pay more than lip service to recognising that employees are a key factor in the successful delivery of a customer centric strategy. Fully engaging with those employees will be seen as an essential investment in the successful deployment of that strategy.
3. Customer Journey Mapping will continue its high take up
Every day our articles on the website about Customer Journey Mapping receive an increasing number of readers. It appears that businesses around the world, and in very different markets, are identifying the value of customer journey mapping to help structure and identify what actions are key to customers, not only to help redesign processes, but to help to reduce customer effort and increase the value being delivered when compared with the competition.
4. Business-to-Business markets will place greater emphasis on customer testimonials
Particularly in a B2B market potential customers want to know more than a Net Promoter Score to gauge a potential suppliers performance for their customers, they want to have access to customer testimonials, case studies, and reference customers. These will become a natural extension of any B2B customer feedback programme.
5. Greater understanding of senior key decision makers
Continuing with the focus on B2B, every business tends to have a small but key group of senior customer decision makers who can significantly impact their business. Companies are increasingly going to recognise that gathering their views through techniques such as online or telephone interviews just doesn't collect the level of high value feedback that is available to them. The use of independent face to face Executive Interviews and reports will continue to grow.
6. Value for Money becomes the key strategic differentiator
Increasingly businesses don't want to compete on price, and customer centricity may not be enough to differentiate in increasingly competitive markets. Delivering customer focused Value for Money (VFM) better than your competitors will deliver a long term competitive advantage. VFM is a subjective concept where perception is a not insignificant factor in customer evaluation – merely dropping the price is not always the most effective route and is certainly not good for long term profitability. We predict therefore that organisations will start to think smarter and turn their gaze towards making this perception element work harder.

Research Shows Need for Financial Wellness InitiativesDecember 1, 2016 | Research
In a recent OneAmerica survey, we asked retirement plan participants to self-identify their levels of knowledge across 10 retirement and personal finance-related topics. According to the survey results, the overall level of personal financial knowledge among participants is low. Only 40 percent of participants consider themselves either knowledgeable or very knowledgeable about retirement savings, specifically.
Although the survey data suggests that men have more confidence than women in their financial knowledge base, the overall lack of financial knowledge self-reported by survey participants could have significant implications. A lack of general financial knowledge can often lead to under use of retirement plan benefits. When people fully comprehend their options, they are more likely to act. One of the most troubling findings involves compounding. Only 36 percent of men and 18 percent of women knew how compounding affects retirement accounts. This is bothersome because understanding the power of compounding can bring hope and motivation. If these respondents don't understand how compounding works, they may feel hopeless.
Are you interested in learning more about compounding and other financial concepts? Visit our YouTube channel for a variety of Pete the Planner videos about these topics and more.

As a national manhunt continues, new details are emerging on Steve Stephens' troubled past.
From FoxNews
Accused Facebook killer Steve Stephens faced numerous evictions in Ohio and bankruptcy prior to allegedly filming the murder of an elderly man and posting the video onto the social media website.
Stephens was recently evicted from an apartment in Euclid and faced another eviction at a separate apartment in Warrensville Heights five months prior, according to court records obtained by the Cleveland Plain-Dealer on Monday. The documents shed light on Stephens' massive financial troubles.
According to the records, the Warrensville Heights complex successfully sued Stephens for $1,800 in back rent and started to garnish his wages last month. Stephens also was saddled with a ton of debt, the paper reported. He declared more than $35,000 in debts, including $21,000 owed on a loan for a 2007 Dodge Charger and more than $5,300 on student loans. He was sued in Euclid Municipal Court in 2012.
Stephens said in a court filing that he owned about $1,500 in household possessions and had more than $350 in his bank account. The Plain-Dealer reported he was discharged from bankruptcy in August 2015.
In another Facebook posting Sunday, Stephens said he gambled his money away at Jack Cleveland Casino and said he "lost everything" and that he was "out of options."
The casino told Fox 8 Cleveland that security was increased as a result of the manhunt for Stephens.
Cleveland police announced a $50,000 reward was posted by Crimestoppers for information leading to the capture of Stephens. Police also issued a nationwide search for him and asked residents of Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan to be on alert.

From "The Story of an Eyewitness: The San Francisco Earthquake [1906]" by Jack London (died 1916)
On Wednesday morning at a quarter past five came the earthquake. A minute later the flames were leaping upward. In a dozen different quarters south of Market Street, in the working-class ghetto and in the factories, fires started. There was no opposing the flames. There was no organization, no communication. All the cunning adjustments of a twentieth century city had been smashed by the earthquake. The streets were humped into ridges and depressions and piled with the debris of fallen walls. The steel rails were twisted into perpendicular and horizontal angles. The telephone and telegraph systems were disrupted. And the great water-mains had burst. All the shrewd contrivances and safeguards of man had been thrown out of gear by thirty seconds' twitching of the earth's crust.

B. systems.
C. shrewd contrivances.
D. communication.A. a day.3. The flames
B. a night.
C. a second or two.

Sleep training is like playing an endless game of whack-a-mole. As soon as you quash one issue, another pops its ugly rodent head up to annoy you.
Since Salty kept climbing out of his crib, I decided to turn their cribs into toddler beds. Apart from the occasional kerthunk "Waaaaah!!!" at night when Peppers inadvertently rolls onto the floor, they seem to like it. And by "it" I mean sleeping on anything in the room other than their beds.
Here are some pictures of the scenes that greeted me this week as I went in to load them into the car to pick up their sister from Kindergarten. I had a hard time gaining entry to the room to snap this first one. I had to push and squish quite vigorously since Peppers was blocking the door closed.
This one is an especial favorite. Don't get so focused on the super sweet sleeper on the chair that you miss the other boy in the picture.
Yep. There he is behind the chair.
Let's get one more look at that chair sleeper, shall we? Awww. That's gonna hurt so bad when he wakes up.
I promise that I provide very comfortable beds for these children. I really don't know what to tell you.
There we go! I guess he must have accidentally rolled onto this bed while he was trying to sleep on top of the diaper changing station.
As a bonus, here's a shot I snapped at night. The night before this, I found them spooning each other on Peppers bed. I could shoot myself for not taking a picture of that unstoppable cuteness.

Trips to the zoo can be memorable for quite a few reasons but two little girls who visited Tiger World in North Carolina will remember their experience because of how terrible it was.
The girls seemed genuinely excited to be at the sanctuary for endangered animals and when they approached a baboon's cage, they promised him food. Unfortunately, the primate wasn't in the mood for visitors.
He first showed his displeasure by opening his mouth and banging his cage.
When that didn't do the trick, he grabbed some poop and flung it at the family.
He had a direct hit on one of the girls who immediately cried, "Ew. I hate this place." The memories will last a lifetime, let's hope the trauma doesn't.

Successful Steps in Accelerated Reading
1. Each student takes the STAR Reading Test. The STAR test determines the reading level of each student. As the student takes the test, the questions adjust to that student's ability level. For example, if a student misses a question, STAR automatically gives them a question on an easier reading level.
2. The STAR test determines each student's ZPD (Zone of Proximal Development). The ZPD is the reading range in which a student achieves optimal reading growth. For example, a third grade student may have a ZPD of 1.9 to 3.1. This means that this student reads on a level that is the ninth month of the first grade year to the first month of the third grade year. It is very important for a child to read within his or her reading range so that the child may comprehend the material. When a student reads within his or her reading range, the reading level should increase.
3. An AR goal will be set for each student based on his or her STAR test reading level results. Accelerated Reader has preset goals based on 60, 30, and 20 minutes of reading time per day. Eupora Elementary sets goals based on 30 minutes of reading time per day. Students have reading time at school and reading will also need to be done at home. For example, if a 4th grade student's reading range is 3.6 to 4.8, the goal set by AR for this student would be 12 points. Books range in point value from .5 to around 25 points, depending on the length of the book. If a child only reads books that are .5 in value, then that child will have to read 24 books and make a 100% on each test to meet a goal of 12.
4. The student will read a book on his or her reading level. AR books are available in the EES Library, Webster County Library, or at home. Parents may check online at http://www.arbookfind.com/ to determine if a book has an AR quiz. This website will give the reading level, quiz number, and point value of the book.
5. Once the student has read a book, that student will take the AR test for that book on the computer. The student will receive a score of 0 to 100. The student will receive points based on correct answers given.
6. Parents: To check student progress, go online to https://hosted68.renlearn.com/93634/HomeConnect/
· Click "View My Bookshelf" on bottom right to look at the grade on each book tested.
Accelerated Reading Grading Scale
Students in grades 1-5 will receive a reading grade based on their AR achievement. This grade will account for 10% of their Nine Week Reading Grade The following chart shows the grading scale. Points will be deducted for students not meeting their accuracy goal.
Accuracy Goal and Book Level Goal Met
102% + of goal with 85% test accuracy and book level met

Full-Duplex Radios for Local Access (DUPLO)
Within the ICD group, I perform research for the European project "Full-Duplex Radios for Local Access" (DUPLO). This project aims at developing new technology and system solutions for future generations of mobile data networks by introducing in-band full-duplex radio: transmission and reception occur simultaneously at the same frequency. This technique, if applied successfully, can double the spectral efficiency of wireless communications, with additional througput, latency and security benefits expected in the higher network layers.
The main issue to overcome in full-duplex wireless is Self-Interference (SI), or the transmit signal of a node leaking strongly into its own receiver. Self-interference cancelling (SIC) mechanisms will be implemented on various levels: antenna, RF, baseband and digital. My task is to investigate SIC mechanisms that can be applied in an integrated radio front-end.

In the mid 1980s a new concept of manufacturing quality emerged. Within a couple of years it became Six Sigma.
Over the years the concepts were merged with those of lean manufacturing to become Lean/Six Sigma and supposedly became last word in manufacturing management. Along the route we lost track of the original concepts of Six Sigma.
In recent years the concepts eroded into a series of skill training programs on project management, collaboration and leadership. As the program became more about credentials than competence the results started to show.
US manufacturing has started to slip when measured by manufacturing velocity (the crucial master-metric of manufacturing). The red line below shows the ratio of WIP inventory to shipments. It's the inverse of velocity. As velocity improves WIP I/S ratio goes down. For most of the 90s an up to about 2005 attention to velocity drove steady improvement in the metric. After 2005 we started to lose ground as the philosophy of manufacturing management focused on checking boxes.
We're losing the battle for factory velocity. When lean manufacturing principles emphasize unit operations efficiency at the expense of velocity, velocity falls. When Six Sigma becomes a focus on analysis methods rather than manufacturing process, velocity falls. Doing it right is harder, but ultimately more valuable.
TCS is launching an initiative to get manufacturing back on track. See the first step in our paper on A3 in Manufacturing.

I'm Karl and here is some info about me, written by me!
I married my best friend in 2014 and had the best day of my life.
Luckily for us we chose an incredible wedding photographer,
who captured all our memories of the day!
Before getting married I hadn't anticipated how important wedding photos would be.
I'm so glad my wife realised (she's always right – or so I'm told).
I smile each time I look at our wedding photos and I would love to recreate that sense of emotion for you both.
I seriously love a good wedding but sadly I can't get married every weekend!
What I can do is attend your wedding and take candid, documentary style photos.
Photos that when you look through them, take you back to the love and happiness of that incredible day.
That's My Cheesy Philosophy
In short I have taken my passion for photography and love for weddings,
joined the two together to become... a wedding photographer!
Please take a look at my website and don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
If you are interested in taking a look at my Life & Landscapes photography then just - PRESS ME -
I'm an open minded fella
I like cheese on my toast but not in my photography.
Documentary photography floats my boat...
But I also think couple portraits are cool
I'm a quiet fella who won't boss you around all day
I'm not saving lives, I'm taking photo's but I still aim to do a s#*t hot job

GREENSBURG (AP) – A Western Pennsylvania judge has dismissed murder charges against three of four people charged in the drug-related slaying of a man a year ago.
A Westmoreland County judge dismissed second-degree murder and homicide charges against 43-year-old Jesus Santiago, 24-year-old Danielle Clawson, and 23-year-old Tiffany Blattenberger.
In rulings issued last week and this week, the judge said it was clear that they weren't responsible for the December 2012 death of 24-year-old Matthew Volk in a Derry Township mobile home.
Prosecutors had alleged that the three conspired with Volk to steal money from another man who ended up shooting Volk.
Twenty-one-year-old Ronnell Moses Jr. of Penn Hills remains charged in the murder. His attorney has indicated that he will argue that his client acted in self-defense.

Original issues of The Strand magazine - in which the stories were first published - will be among the artefacts inside the exhibition, along with artwork by Sidney Paget, who provided Holmes with his famous profile and deerstalker hat.
A spokesperson told Radio Times: "I can promise that Benedict Cumberbatch will feature, in some shape or form."
They added: "This is just the tip of the iceberg - there will be big announcements later in the year."

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — All last week, heavily loaded semi-trailers and smaller trucks headed out of Salt Lake City moving east to Toronto and Cleveland with three wide-body jets following on Thursday in order to meet up with 11 large buses as part of a carefully developed logistics plan that had been two years in the making.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is known for chartering large aircraft and sending semi-trailers packed with emergency goods for disaster relief. However, last week's loads did not include relief items such as food, hygiene kits, water and blankets. These trucks were loaded with musical equipment, wardrobe, luggage, sound equipment and even a traveling organ.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square started their summer tour Thursday, with planned stops in Toronto, Canada; Chautauqua, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee.
"We are very excited about this tour," said Craig Jessop, music director of the choir. "Thousands of people come to Salt Lake City to witness the choir and Orchestra on Temple Square every year, so our tours are really our chance to return the favor and to bring the choir and orchestra to them!"
Spectators look forward to the performances, but many are unaware that moving the choir and orchestra with all the necessary stagehands through seven cities in a two-week period is not a simple task.
"People don't realize what it takes to send out 572 members of the choir, orchestra, support personnel and a few brave spouses," says Barry Anderson, administrative manager for the choir. "It's like a big puzzle coming together at the last minute."
Adding a border crossing to the summer tour brought a whole new set of challenges for the planners. "At one point we thought we were going to have to assign the choir and orchestra members traveling in 11 buses into alphabetized groups to cross the border (between the United States and Canada)," added Anderson. "Fortunately, we didn't have to do that."
For the tour members, the border crossing meant they could only take one carry-on -size piece of luggage into Canada. The large suitcases belonging to each of the 572 tour members take up one semi-trailer truck alone.
Choir publicist Michael von Rosen laughed as he commented on how the customs agents might react to that one truck full of luggage. "Can you imagine the truck driver's reaction when he is asked by the border agent, 'Do you know the contents of these bags and did you pack all of these on your own?'"
The luggage truck will catch up with the choir at their first United States stop.
The tour repertoire will feature a great variety of works, including selections from choral classics, patriotic music, and famed songs from Broadway and Hollywood, as featured on the choir's latest release, Showtime!

I thought the Icelandic word virk translated as work, but apparently it means the time on weekdays between waking up with a monstrous hangover and going back to the bar. Also, never go to a convenience store after midnight here, I was pegged in the head with a twix bar for no apparent reason while trying to buy a powerade...
that's what you get for not buying alcohol, faggot!
I don't get why people waste time and energy in outwardly hating apple products - its a zero sum game where the haters end up symbolically trolling themselves.
I don't get why people waste time and energy in outwardly supporting apple products - its a zero sum game where the fan boys end up actually trolling themselves.
How long are you staying there for?
My program is two years, but I'm spending approximately six months of that in Denmark, some combination of Aarhus and Copenhagen. As much as I bitch about this country I really wouldn't mind living here...
Danish girls are just stunning..
You're a lucky man..

I can't get past the falling blocks at the end of level 4-4. Can someone help me?
oh, that's a hard level.
all you have to do is keep trying, and figure out which blocks fall first, and which ones to jump on at the right time.
took me forever too. I'm stuck on 5-5 it's one of those moving levels, which i hate.
To get past the falling blocks near end of 4-4, just use Mario and use his extra-speed to run past the blocks. To run, just press and hold same button that you use your tongue.

Kentucky Downs: Blocks back to take another shot at Turf Cup
The incredible success for the stallion Kitten's Joy on Aug. 17 would have been even greater if only his 5-year-old son Suntracer had run a little faster in the $400,000 American St. Leger on the Arlington Million undercard.
"Another half-length or so and we could've been in on the party, too," said Chris Block, noting how Suntracer finished second by that margin to Dandino in the St. Leger.
Four weeks later, Suntracer will take another crack at a $400,000 turf marathon when he ships from Chicago to rural south-central Kentucky as one of the main contenders Saturday in the Grade 3 Kentucky Turf Cup. The 1 1/2-mile race anchors the new Kentucky Downs Million Day, a series of five straight stakes that also comprises four other $150,000 races.
Unlike much of the progeny of Kitten's Joy who were bred and are owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey, Suntracer was bred and is owned by the Block family under their Team Block banner. Last year, David Block, Chris's father, was at Kentucky Downs to see Ioya Bigtime win the Kentucky Turf Cup under the family's green-and-gold silks. The travel arrangements are the same this year, with Chris staying behind to run horses at Arlington.
"It looks like the horse is really coming into his own," said Block. "I think he's ready to take another step forward. He seems to like the distance, so the only thing is if he can handle the configuration of that track, which I think he will. Most horses, when they run that far, they have plenty of chance to adjust."
On Aug. 17, Kitten's Joy was the winning sire of Real Solution (Arlington Million), Admiral Kitten (Secretariat), and Big Blue Kitten (Sword Dancer).

What's your sports personality?
Sports can reveal a lot about somebody's personality. Famous tennis coach Vic Braden came up with a way to analyse the "brain types" of his players, based loosely on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. He identified that Roger Federer is an "NT," an Intuitive Thinker. This enabled him to tailor his coaching style to suit the type who likes solutions, … Continue reading
Winners and losers in a tournament
What makes a good tournament? Organisational management has a big impact on the final outcome.

The line between gamesmanship and cheating
Competition in sports often involves deception, manoeuvring and exploiting an opponent's weaknesses. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the desire to win drives players to use whatever means possible. It's perhaps understandable that pressure and a win-at-all-costs mentality motivates competitors to use gamesmanship tactics. What is gamesmanship? Gamesmanship can be broadly defined as "the practice of winning games without actually violating rules". Gamesmanship includes practices used in a … Continue reading
Wasting time and delays in a match
Delays and time-wasting in a competition happens in sports like football, hockey and tennis. There are legitimate reasons for players to stop playing, but at other times it's a strategic ploy to disrupt the flow and tempo of a game. Undue delays can be used as a psychological tactic to break an opponent's rhythm. Although there are times when acute injuries require medical assistance (such … Continue reading
Shouting during play is unfair and a bad image for badminton
Players who shout or grunt when they hit the shuttlecock can gain an unfair advantage. Their shouts can interfere with their opponent's game, either masking the sound of the shuttlecock being hit by the racquet or distracting their opponent. At least two studies of grunting have found that players who grunt or shriek gain a few advantages over their quieter opponents: They hit … Continue reading
