I pledge my heart
Tinker:
When is the last time that you felt this way about your country. I once felt this strong of a spirited feeling for my neighborhood and people where I lived here in America.
Just as real of a fighting feeling as anyone has every had before. Now after so many people have giving up their beliefs so easily to follow corrupt politicians. I wonder if the brave people among us who still stand to fight back will we be enough to matter in the next great American wars yet to come.

Lower Health Insurance Premiums to Come at Cost of Fewer Choices
By ROBERT PEAR
Published: September 22, 2013
WASHINGTON — Federal officials often say that health insurance will cost consumers less than expected under President Obama’s health care law. But they rarely mention one big reason: many insurers are significantly limiting the choices of doctors and hospitals available to consumers.
From California to Illinois to New Hampshire, and in many states in between, insurers are driving down premiums by restricting the number of providers who will treat patients in their new health plans.
When insurance marketplaces open on Oct. 1, most of those shopping for coverage will be low- and moderate-income people for whom price is paramount. To hold down costs, insurers say, they have created smaller networks of doctors and hospitals than are typically found in commercial insurance. And those health care providers will, in many cases, be paid less than what they have been receiving from commercial insurers.

For just over 125 years, the mystery of the Jack the Ripper serial murders has been fodder for books, movies and periodic re-openings of the unsolved cases. But after years of investigation, a retired detective is confident he has finally found the culprit behind some, if not all, of the killings attributed to the infamous "Jack."
Past attempts to identify the man who supposedly terrorized London in the late 19th century have implicated artist Vincent Van Gogh, Alice in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll and even relatives of Queen Victoria. But retired homicide detective Trevor Marriott says that after 11 years of investigation, he believes German merchant sailor Carl Feigenbaum committed an unknown number of the murders.
Marriott, who hails from Bedfordshire, England, told British site Express that he came to his conclusion via old-school document analysis and high-tech forensic science. He also said he found that Hollywood and myth have "distorted" many facts of the case over the years.

Legendary Coach, AD Paul Dietzel Dies, 89
BATON ROUGE – The Head Coach and architect of LSU’s 1958 football National Championship who later served as athletic director at LSU, Paul Dietzel, passed away early Tuesday morning after a brief illness at the age of 89.
Dietzel served as football coach from 1955 through 1961 and he returned to LSU in 1978 as athletic director, serving until 1982. After first retiring to North Carolina, he eventually did some radio and TV work on football broadcasts in the Southern Conference and helped with the creation of the Samford University athletic department in Birmingham, Ala.
Dietzel, who was the last living member of the 1958 National Championship coaching staff, and his wife Anne eventually returned to Baton Rouge to live in 2003. One of his last major public appearances came at the opening of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame building in Natchitoches. He was inducted into the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010.

   November 17, 1958The Bandits Of Baton RougeEleven substitutes, plus a talented halfback and family man named Billy Cannon, have brought glory to Louisiana State

Louisiana state university is one of the South's great colleges,
and it has been around for a long time. Its first president was a young
Army officer named William Tecumseh Sherman, and it once had a
cheerleader named Huey Long. At one time LSU also had an undefeated and
untied football team, but that was in 1908, and nothing quite so
exciting has happened in all the years since. Or at least not until now.
Maybe the reason is that LSU, in the past 50 years, has had nothing
like Billy Abb Cannon and 11 other young men known as the Chinese
Bandits.
Saturday night in Baton Rouge, LSU overwhelmed Duke 50-18, thereby winning its eighth ball game of 1958. It was the first time since 1929 that anyone had scored 50 points against a Duke team.
Cannon caught a 63-yard touchdown pass, raced 25 yards for another score and kicked two extra points. Coach Paul Dietzel's quick and lean and hungry young men took advantage of every break—most of which they made for themselves, which is always the mark of a good football team—and swarmed all over the hapless Blue Devils from Durham like a cloud of angry bees. And the Chinese Bandits blocked a punt, recovering the ball on the Duke two to set up a touchdown, which they subsequently scored themselves to the great delight of the vast crowd. Despite their other talents, the Bandits do not score many touchdowns.
When it was all over, no one in the wildly ecstatic crowd which jammed Tiger Stadium to the light standards, no one in the vicinity of football-crazed Baton Rouge, no one in the entire state of Louisiana doubted that this was the No. 1 college football team in the land. And Iowa, Army and Auburn to the contrary, they were almost certainly right.
Picked to finish far down in the 12-team Southeastern Conference before the season began, the Tigers have been chewing up everything that has come their way, including good ball clubs like Rice and Florida and Mississippi and Duke.
The problems which faced Dietzel this year were simple enough. He had all the ingredients for a ferocious backfield, with Cannon, two speedsters named Johnny Robinson and Scooter Purvis, a tough fullback who likes to knock people down in Red Brodnax, and a good quarterback in Warren Rabb. He also had some fine linemen, led by an exceptional center, Max Fugler, who is not only large and aggressive but can outrun the backs on most football teams. But most of the linemen were not very big, and there just didn't seem to be enough of them. Somewhere along the way it was almost certain that they would wear out. So Dietzel, a tall, handsome blond-haired fellow, decided he would have to let everyone get into the act.
Dietzel picked his 11 best football players and called them the White team, which is the color all LSU football players wear these days despite the purple and gold school colors. Then he took his next 22 players and divided them according to offensive and defensive abilities. The offensive 11, which has a lot of speed and can move the ball almost as well as the starters, he named the Go team. The defensive crew he named the Chinese Bandits. Never, at LSU, are the Bandits called the third string—which they really are—or the third unit or the third team or the third anything else. They are simply the Bandits.
"They are," says Dietzel, "the darndest bunch of kids you ever saw."
Made up primarily of sophomores and 1957 red shirts and reserves, with last year's student manager, Gus Kinchen, playing one end, the Bandits have logged almost a quarter of LSU's total playing time. In crucial moments they have afforded the starters some much-needed rest. Under the more relaxed substitution rule in effect this year, Dietzel has been able to keep his regulars from wearing out by the simple process of pulling them out before they even have a chance to get tired. The Go team has filled in capably on offense—it has played almost a quarter of the time, too—and the Bandits have done a remarkable job on defense.
"They're not really that good," they will tell you at LSU, "but they think they are, which seems to be what counts."
Dietzel's touch of psychological inspiration did not suddenly blossom forth this year. Rather, it began back in 1950, when he was defensive coach under Gilman at Cincinnati. Feeling that some boost in morale was needed by the relatively unsung defensive platoon in those days of free substitution, he came up with a quote from the comic strip, Terry and the Pirates. "Chinese Bandits," said a sinister-looking Oriental gentleman one day, "are the most vicious people on earth." So Dietzel told his Cincinnati crew that since it was pretty mean and ornery, henceforth it would be known as the Chinese Bandits.

Paul Dietzel, LSU coaching legend, has died at 89
Paul Dietzel, the innovative and charismatic football coach who led
LSU to its first modern day national championship and its last
undefeated season, died Tuesday at the age of 89, LSU has confirmed.
Dietzel passed away at Baton Rouge General Medical Center on Florida Boulevard.. Cause of death and funeral arrangements were not immediately available, but are services are expected to take place on Friday.
Dietzel and his wife Anne would have celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary on Wednesday.
He served as LSU’s football coach from 1955-61, posting a career record of 46-24-3. Dietzel led the Tigers from being unranked before the 1958 season to a perfect 11-0 record that culminated with LSU’s first national championship in the wire service era (since 1936).
With stars like Billy Cannon and Johnny Robinson running the show, Dietzel popularized the Winged-T offense. He also used the strict substation rules of the day to his advantage, naming his third-string, defensive-minded unit the Chinese Bandits after characters from a comic strip called “Terry and the Pirates.”
LSU narrowly missed a second straight national championship in 1959, a 14-13 loss at Tennessee relegating the Tigers to a final No. 3 ranking. A week earlier, Dietzel coached LSU to perhaps its most famous victory, a 7-3 Halloween night triumph over Ole Miss marked by Cannon’s 89-yard punt return for a touchdown.
Cannon went on to win LSU’s only Heisman Trophy that season.
Dietzel coached LSU to a 10-1 record and a second Southeastern Conference title in 1961, but stepped down after that to fulfill a long-time ambition to become the coach at Army, where he had served as an assistant under Earl “Red” Blaik, Army’s winningest coach.
Dietzel’s stay at West Point lasted only four seasons. After the 1965 campaign he became head coach and athletic director at South Carolina.
As fate would have it, the Gamecocks’ first game under Dietzel in 1966 was at LSU, a game Dietzel approved years earlier while the Tigers coach as a “breather” for his team.
LSU fans still angry over Dietzel’s departure for Army were expected to greet Dietzel with a huge boo that never materialized. The Tigers won the game, 28-12, under Dietzel’s successor and former assistant, Charles McClendon.
Dietzel stayed at South Carolina though 1974, leading the Gamecocks to their only conference title – the 1969 ACC championship. He then had short stints as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference and athletic director at Indiana before returning to LSU as A.D. in 1978.
It was called “The Second Coming of Paul,” but Dietzel’s second stay at LSU was much rockier than the first. He hired Charles “Bo” Rein to succeed McClendon as football coach in 1979, but Rein died in a plane crash on Jan. 10, 1980.
Then sports information director Paul Manasseh pressed Dietzel to take over as coach, but he quickly moved instead to hire one of his former players, 1962 Heisman Trophy runner-up Jerry Stovall, to replace Rein.
Dietzel’s stay as Stovall’s boss didn’t last long. He was reassigned under pressure in 1982 as a special assistant to then LSU System President Martin Woodin.
In 1983, Dietzel began a two-year stint helping begin the athletic program at Samford University before retiring for good. He and his wife Anne first split their retirement time between Baton Rouge and a home in North Carolina before eventually retiring permanently to Baton Rouge in 2003.
In 2008, Dietzel published his memoirs, “Call Me Coach, A Life in College Football.”
