By Voterama in Congress
Here's how North Carolina members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending May 17.
DODD-FRANK FINANCIAL RULES: Voting 235 for and 161 against, the House on May 17 passed a bill (HR 1062) imposing time-consuming requirements on the Securities and Exchange Commission as it puts the 2010 financial-regulation law known as Dodd-Frank into effect. In part, the bill would require the SEC, an independent agency, to conduct cost-benefit analyses of Dodd-Frank's impact on free-market forces such as capital formation and market liquidity. Dodd-Frank was enacted in response to the Wall Street meltdown in 2007 and the Great Recession that followed. The SEC has issued more than half of the 400plus rules needed to implement the 2,300-page law.
A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate.
Voting yes: Republicans Renee Ellmers, Walter Jones, Virginia Foxx, Richard Hudson, Robert Pittenger, Patrick McHenry, Mark Meadows and George Holding; Democrat Mike McIntyre Voting no: Democrats G.K. Butterfield, David Price, Melvin Watt Not voting: Republican Howard Coble
Voting 179 for and 217 against, the House on May 17 defeated a Democratic bid to prevent HR 1062 (above) from reducing the Security and Exchange Commission's ability to safeguard the pensions of first responders and teachers or protect U.S. companies from foreign takeovers.
A yes vote backed the Democratic motion.
Voting yes: Butterfield, Jones, Price, McIntyre, Watt Voting no: Ellmers, Foxx, Hudson, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Holding
Not voting: Coble COST-BENEFIT ANALYSES: Voting 165 for and 233 against, the House on May 17 defeated a Democratic bid to replace HR 1062 (above) with a nonbinding description of the multiple cost-benefit analyses that the Securities and Exchange Commission already is required to conduct in regulating the financial- services industry.
A yes vote backed the Democratic amendment.
Voting yes: Butterfield, Price, Watt
Voting no: Ellmers, Jones, Foxx, McIntyre,
Hudson, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Holding
Not voting: Coble 2010 HEALTH-LAW REPEAL: Voting 229 for and 195 against, the House on May 16 passed a GOP bill (HR 45) to repeal the sweeping health law enacted in 2010 and upheld last year by the Supreme Court. House Republicans now have conducted three votes to repeal the law and more than 30 to change it. The law is designed to provide more than 30 million legal U.S. residents with health insurance they did not have at the time of enactment. Some parts already are in operation, and the law's two most expansive sections will take effect in 2014. They are an enlargement of Medicaid and the opening of exchanges — online marketplaces — in all states where the uninsured can buy health policies at affordable rates.
Richard Hudson, R-N.C., called the law "the most egregious example of government overreach we have ever seen. … Health care has always been and should always be a relationship between a patient and a doctor of one's choice, not a government mandate to be managed by faceless bureaucrats in Washington, D.C."
A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate.
Voting yes: Ellmers, Jones, Foxx, Coble, McIntyre, Hudson, Pittenger, McHenry, Meadows, Holding Voting no: Butterfield, Price, Watt
CORPS OF ENGINEERS PROJECTS: Voting 83 for and 14 against, the Senate on May 15 passed a bill (S 601) overseeing nearly 700 Army Corps of Engineers water projects costing tens of billions of dollars that directly benefit every state. Now awaiting House action, the bill authorizes or reauthorizes projects for flood control, navigation, shoreline protection, environmental restoration, harbor maintenance, levee safety, wastewater treatment and lock and dam upgrades. It authorizes $12.5 billion over ten years for new projects on top of a backlog of unfinished projects budgeted at $60 billion.
The bill contains no earmarks; puts environmental reviews required by the National Environmental Policy Act on a fast track; expedites rules for Great Lakes harbor dredging; bolsters the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund and allows premium increases to take effect for the National Flood Insurance Program.
A yes vote was to pass the bill.
Voting yes: Democrat Kay Hagan
Voting no: Republican Richard Burr
Voting 91 for and seven against, the Senate on May 15 confirmed Marilyn B. Tavenner, 61, as chief of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency with jurisdiction over health care for one in three Americans. In addition to administering Medicare and Medicaid, the agency oversees the Children's Heath Insurance Program and runs part of the 2010 health law. Tavenner had been acting director of the CMS, and before that she was a nurse, hospital administrator and the top health official for Virginia.
A yes vote was to confirm Tavenner.
Voting yes: Hagan, Burr A look ahead
In the week of May 20, the Senate will take up a five-year farm bill, while the House schedule was to be announced.

Rep Grind, Leveling, and the end of The Wheel of Time
Now, onto the WoW stuff. We have our full group leveling characters. Yes, there are 5 of us running around the World of Warcraft questing together at the same time. 3 of us have just hit 88 and the two ladies are nearly there. It is nice to level as a group, and the kill quests go amazingly fast. It is also awesome for when we come across a rare spawn.
The only concern for me is grinding rep. Seriously. I am almost exalted with the Klaxxi and abou halfway there with the Shado-Pan. I still need to do the August Celestials. I dont want to do the all again, additional rep or not. They either need to fix the rep to make it account bound or they need to not make gear attached to a faction.
It is a major pain in the ass and one of the reasons I do not have a bunch of nineties. I have 10 characters at 85 or higher......that would be a metric shit ton of dailies to get them all geared up. I love my Warrior, but sometimes you just want to play something different. Hell, I would be happy if they brought back tabards as well.
6 comments:
I'm with you - I won't be grinding rep on my alts.
That said, I was able to get my alt healer raid-ready with no rep gear at all. Just drops from heroics, a few crafted epics, a Darkmoon trinket, and then LFR gear. No real need to do the rep grinds.

Ah yes, LFR. I have not stepped foot in one yet. I probably should.

- Fettsbounty said...
To be fair, Blizzard has been stating that the valor gear really isn't the only way to get gear to get into LFR. And with the way back drop in requirement to get such gear down to just Honored helps to the point that grinding rep isn't as bad. But there are changes on the way if you have been paying attention at all to the PTR 5.2 news. You will be able to run an instance and scenario once a day for a chosen faction as well as do work orders in the farm for rep. Unfortunately the farming part still requires a grind in the tillers rep. But they are listening and that's a good thing

So did he ever level his 1h?
- February 6, 2013 at 8:13 PM
- Darraxus said...
@ Kalven: I assume you are refering to Rand and fighting one handed? Yes!
- February 7, 2013 at 8:38 AM
- SirFWALGMan said...
yeah I was just going to say what foreveranoob said.. I did reps with my crafters but my mage I did no rep and he is running LFR and getting geared up fast enough..

cellular hotspot(redirected from cellular to Wi-Fi)
cellular hotspotA device that converts cellular 3G, 4G/LTE signals to Wi-Fi and vice versa. As long as a cellular signal is available, the device creates a local Wi-Fi hotspot to provide access to the Internet for some number of Wi-Fi devices nearby. The Wi-Fi speed depends mostly on the cellular connection.
Smartphone Hotspots
Smartphones have both cellular and Wi-Fi radios built in, and most phones can be made to cross-connect the two and turn the device into a portable hotspot for Wi-Fi-only tablets and laptops. Also called "tethering."
Mobile Hotspots
Small, dedicated units are available from all carriers. Also called a "portable hotspot," "personal hotspot," "mobile router," "mobile wireless router" and "travel router," the cellular fee is either added to the user's existing data plan, or a new plan must be activated.
However, a stand-alone hotspot is one more thing to travel with. To avoid packing yet another product, cellular service can be added to laptops by plugging in a USB dongle (see cellular modem). Tablets can be purchased with a built-in cellular modem in addition to the standard Wi-Fi. Like every smartphone, the tablet's cellular phone number must be activated, although it is used for data only in most cases.
Vehicle Hotspots
Built-in units provide a Wi-Fi hotspot within the cabin of a car or truck for all passengers. In-vehicle cellular hotspots are available for many makes and models, and third-party devices are also made that plug into the OBD port (see OBD).
Stationary Hotspots
Typically called a "mobile broadband router," stationary units include a full-blown Wi-Fi base station that supports more devices over a wider range than a mobile hotspot. See mobile broadband router. See cellular vs. Wi-Fi.
|Portable or Stationary
|Wi-Fi hotspots can be created when traveling or at home.
|Widely Available
|These Verizon, AT&T and Sprint devices create hotspots as long as they find a cellular signal. (Images courtesy of Verizon, AT&T and Sprint.)
|Put It Anywhere
|The advantage of a mobile hotspot is its portability.

By RAELYNN RICARTE
News staff writer
September 16, 2006
Sen. Rick Metsger, D-Welches, contends his Republican challenger has made a "false" statement about his political views in the state Voters' Pamphlet.
He said it is easy to disprove Carol York's assertion — but the "damage cannot be undone." Metsger said the 2006 Voter's Pamphlet is already on its way to military/overseas recipients. And by Oct. 18, the listing of candidates and issues on the Nov. 7 general election ballot will be sent out to his constituents.
"This is far more malicious than something said in a negative campaign mail piece or advertisement," said Metsger, whose 26th District includes Hood River County. York is a Hood River County commissioner who didn't seek re-election in order to run against Metsger.
"Voters have come to expect misleading and distorted claims in campaign literature. But they expect the official state voter's pamphlet, with our state seal on the cover, to be the one document they can trust for honest information."
At issue is the following statement made by York: "Immigration is a thorny issue and another stark difference between me and my opponent. I support proof of citizenship or legal residency to apply for a driver's license. He is opposed. Our immigration policy should offer safety and security for all of us."
On Wednesday York said she had relied on statements about Metsger's stand from a source that she declined to reveal. She said he was alleged to have held back legislation that addressed the problem while chairing the Senate Transportation and Economic Development Committee in 2003.
"I've been told that he killed a bill by not letting it go forward," York said.
She then asked for more time to research the issue. Later that day, she reported that the defeated legislation was Senate Bill 815 sponsored by Sen. Gary George, R-Newberg. His bill calling for proof of citizenship or legal residency before an immigrant could gain a driver's license died without being reviewed in Metsger's committee.
"It was never voted on or given a hearing so I guess it wasn't a priority," York said.
Metsger said he is "deeply disappointed and saddened" that York made an accusation against him that is based on "assumptions."
"It is unusual in the first place for someone to attack an opponent in the voters' pamphlet. But to make a black- and-white statement based on something that someone told you is just unbelievable," he said.
Metsger has documentation supporting his longtime belief that a driver's license should not be issued to anyone but a lawful resident of Oregon.
He said if York had "done her homework" she would have learned that he authored Senate Bill 586 just weeks before George came up with a similar proposal. Metsger said his bill was even more prohibitive because it also required proof of lawful residency before an immigrant could gain an identification card.
The problem, he said, was that only one of six committee members would support the legislation. His bill, like that sponsored by George, fell far short of supporters.
In fact, with severe budget woes facing the state in 2003, Metsger said a House bill containing the same provision also failed. On April 14, 2003, former Rep. Cliff Zauner, R-Woodburn, even said "Let's get it out of here," before shipping House Bill 2578 from the Transportation Committee to the Judiciary Committee for its demise.
"You are not a good chairman if you bring up a bill and you don't have the votes. Just because I wrote one of these bills and supported the others doesn't mean that people were going to vote for it," said Metsger.
York said Metsger, as committee chairman, had two chances to pursue a remedy and, instead, he took a pass.
"If he felt stronger about the issue he would have worked harder to get these bills through," she said. "He did not prevent licenses from going to undocumented applicants."
Metsger then showed a reporter 10 letters and e-mails traded with constituents about the issue during 2006. In answer to their concerns, he outlined numerous times that "driver's licenses issued by this state must be issued to only those who are legally qualified to be in this country."
"I thought this was an important issue almost four years ago when no one wanted to touch it. And I still think it is an important issue today," he said.
Metsger is now faced with spending $18,000 on a mass mailing to "keep (his) integrity intact by setting the record straight." He said the problem is that many voters rely heavily on the information provided by the state pamphlet to make election choices. He added that the Secretary of State's office will not reprint or revise the statewide pamphlet.
Said Metsger, "I could challenge her in court about this but I'm not going to play tit-for-tat. I'm just going to stay focused on the issues and telling people why I'm the best candidate for the job."
He said four years ago his Republican opponent, Bob Montgomery, launched a spate of negative campaign ads — and he is hopeful that history isn't repeating itself.
At that time, Metsger was accused in print of voting to pollute drinking water and putting guns in the hands of schoolchildren riding buses.
"Somehow even those hit pieces didn't stoop to this level. I've never had a position assigned to me in the voters' pamphlet before," said Metsger, who is seeking a third term in the elected role.

The New Bern Board of Aldermen will take advantage of a new designation for the city that allows it to receive Community Development Block Grants without competing for them.
The New Bern Board of Aldermen will take advantage of a new designation for the city that allows it to receive Community Development Block Grants without competing for them.
The board approved a resolution Tuesday to notify Housing and Urban Development that it plans to pursue entitlement city status for CDBGs.
Jeff Ruggieri, director of development services, said three months ago the city was notified by HUD of its eligibility as an entitlement city, which was the result of the city�s 2010 census. New Bern is the principal city of a Metropolitan Statistical Area that has no city with a population of more than 50,000. The New Bern MSA is composed of Craven, Pamlico and Jones counties.
An entitlement status means the city can receive CDBG funds next year of $273,800 directly from HUD rather than having to compete with other small cities and counties for state CDBG funds, Ruggieri said. Up to 20 percent of the $278,000 can be used to hire additional staff to administer the grant, Ruggieri said.
The new status would give the city autonomy from the state in developing activities and priorities when using CDBGs. Instead of being restricted to only using CDBG funds for infrastructure and economic development, the entitlement status would allow more use for housing rehabilitation.
The city would have to create a five-year plan to assess housing and community development needs and an annual plan of how the grant money would be used, Ruggieri said.
Ruggieri said 450 properties in the city qualify for funding that was not available. If the city gets the entitlement allocations, that money could be used for those properties, he said.
If the city gets the funding, it would be available in July, Ruggieri said.
Also during Tuesday�s board meeting, aldermen tabled a request from the city�s public works department that would have allowed public access to the Neuse River at the end of Johnson Street.
A sign was erected at the end of the street several years ago prohibiting people access to the river even though the area is a city public right-of-way.
After the meeting, Alderman Sabrina Bengel, acting as mayor pro-tem, said the board needed additional information and needed to discuss the matter with the city attorney. She said she would like to meet with residents in that historic area and bring the issue back before the board at a later date.
According to city staff, Johnson Street�s public right-of-way extends to the river. But at some point, the city created an ordinance prohibiting people from that access.
The public works department was recommending changes to the city ordinances to allow pedestrian traffic to the river.
The proposal would eliminate Sec. 70-159 of chapter 70 in the city ordinance that says: �Pedestrian traffic is prohibited upon the following streets or portions thereof: Johnson Street. That portion of Johnson Street which lies between the Neuse River and a line parallel to and 250 feet northeast of the easterly right-of-way line of East Front Street.�
Scott Davis, city attorney, said Wednesday he was not sure of the history of the ordinance, but it has been on the books as a city code since 1971.
Davis said he could not say if it was legal since the area is a public right-of-way.
�All I can say is I would not recommend drafting an ordinance like the current one is drafted,� he said.
Davis said it was unusual that the pedestrian clause of the ordinance only targeted the end of Johnson Street.
But since it is a city ordinance, people who go on the property are in violation of the city code and could be charged, Davis said.
�I�m not sure that has ever happened,� he said. �It is more of a deterrent.�
Despite the sign that now prohibits pedestrian access to the area, people still use the area to launch kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.
Aldermen also tabled a recommendation from public works to amend the city�s ordinance that would prohibit vehicular traffic from the intersection of Johnson Street and Edgerton Drive to the river, so vehicles could not park at that proposed access point.

Sofia Vergara has been a sex symbol for years, playing the oh so voluptuous milf on "Modern Family," but rotating on a platform at the 66th annual Emmy Awards on Monday apparently crossed the line for some critics.
Vergara was literally put on a pedestal at the awards show as Bruce Rosenblum, president of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, presented his annual speech. As Vergara rotated on the platform, Rosenblum's speech was timed just right.
"The academy is much more diverse now that ever before, both in front of and behind the camera," Rosenblum said as Vergara's behind came into full view, prompting hoots and hollers from the audience.
Shortly after the speech, news feeds went wild with many women expressing their disappointment in the "bizarre, objectifying Emmy moment." But backstage, Vergara argued that it was an empowering moment.
"I think its absolutely the opposite. It means that somebody can be hot and also be funny and make fun of herself," Vergara said.
She then directed her comment to a "somebody" who "started this."
"I think it's ridiculous that somebody started this — I know who she was — who has no sense of humor (and should) lighten up a bit," Vergara said.
Vergara's cast mates burst into cheers and loud applause in support of the actress.
"Modern Family" took home three Emmys: Ty Burrell for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series; Gail Mancuso for Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series and Outstanding Comedy Series.

"Although other forms such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) are in use, the most common usage of the medium is for broadcast television, which was modeled on the existing radio broadcasting systems developed in the 1920s, and uses high-powered radio-frequency transmitters to broadcast the television signal to individual TV receivers." This according to Wikipedia. The TV is useful for many things, including watching 82 regular season Jets games.
The rumour mill had the broadcast rights for the Winnipeg Jets going to TSN and recently that was made official. It's unprecedented that all of the Jets games will be available on TV this year. Only last season was that the case in Edmonton and Calgary, and only a recent phenomenon in Toronto if you subscribe to Leafs TV. Factor in a sure sell out for every Jets game for the next three years and even a skeptic would have to admit that this is very impressive. Get ready for hockey Winnipeg!
While I was hoping that Curt Keilback would somehow be involved, (there was a facebook page dedicated to the cause) I can't complain too much with the crew they selected. Dennis Beyak calls a great game as well and he is from Manitoba. Part of the TSN deal involved the radio rights and it's no small item that they were able to land the Jets for their new upstart sports station, the Team 1290. Brian Munz will move over to the Team and call the games when Beyak is on TV. Brian Engblom, Mike Johnson, and Shane Hnidy will serve as colour on TV and radio respectively. Engblom has by far the most experience of the three and is a native 'Tobin. He also has wicked hair, which will serve him well if he ends up at the Zoo. The TSN.ca story is here.
The other item that has not been covered as of yet is the future of Sportsnet West. Changes are coming to be sure as there is no scenario where the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames will continue to filter into the Winnipeg market. The same will be done to protect their region from the new TSN regional Winnipeg station. That was confirmed to me in a recent conversation with a member of the Edmonton Oilers management The likely scenario is a creation of Sportsnet Prairies that will include Manitoba and parts of Saskatchewan. Bad new for the folks in Saskatchewan who want to watch the progression of Taylor Hall or have become Flames fans.

"Time goes by so fast!" says Annette Newbill Trujillo as she talks about her 20 years in business as an art-gallery owner in Seaside.
Trujillo opened her Newbill Collection by the Sea March 15, 1993 on the first floor of an acquaintance's newly constructed townhome in Seaside's Ruskin Place Artist Colony. At that time, Ruskin Place was not built out and the live/work townhome was the fourth one constructed around the park. There was only one other small art gallery there and it closed after about a year. To date, her Newbill Gallery is the longest operating in Seaside.
"It was slow 20 years ago," admits Trujillo.
Trujillo is not an artist and had not owned a gallery previously, but felt that Seaside would be a great place for one.
A Panama City native, she met her husband there and they moved to California for two years before deciding they wanted to come back to this area to live.
She developed the home economics program at Gulf Coast Community College and taught there for three years before joining the corporate world. She also worked for a retail food chain for 16 years.
"My husband and I would come out here to eat at Bud & Alley's and we bought art here," she said. "I'm not an artist but I do appreciate and love art. I thought this would be a great place to open an art gallery."
Twenty years later Trujillo still says there is not a better place to have a small business.
"The people who come here appreciate art. It's a public that is very pleasurable with which to work," she says.
Some of the artists� works she carries in her gallery are artists she started with when she opened.
"I believe you have to keep work fresh and not stay the same. I have been privileged to work with artists who understand that concept and that makes it easier," she said.
Trujillo represents around 300 artists, some who have been with her for 20 years. The artists' works represent a wide genre. At Newbill you will find ceramic sculptures made in Tallahassee, jewelry made by an artist in New Orleans, glass items blown in Chattanooga, wood pieces, photography, folk art, garden art, and paintings � all original and limited editions housed in her 650 square feet of space.
The locale doesn't hurt either.
"This is a safe little vacation town and it's civil," she said. "You don't have to worry about things like you do in a big city."
Trujillo has stood while others have fallen through oil spills, rain, and hurricanes. But, she says matter of factly that most entrepreneurs have a formula to keep their businesses going during those times. Hers? Work harder and cut expenses.
"My repeat business has been so good over the years," she said. "I have a varied inventory with wide appeal. It takes a while to build a business. But I can't imagine doing business anywhere else."
Newbill Collection by the Sea is closed Sunday and Tuesday during the shoulder season except for holidays and during special events. Regular hours are from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
For more information call 231-4500.

text: Rutherford B. Hayes (1822-1893), the 19th president of the United States, won a controversial and fiercely disputed election against Samuel Tilden. He withdrew troops from the Reconstruction states in order to restore local control and good will, a decision that many perceived as a betrayal of African Americans in the South. He served a single term, as he had promised in his inaugural address.

STREET (relation to author)
George M.D. Street (1845-1923) - 2x great grandfather,
James Joseph Street (1824-1916) - 3x great grandfather,
John Waller Street (1826-1909) - 3x great grand uncle
Confederate troops advancing through the woods. (Library of Congress)
The battle is over. It was 150 years ago from this past week that the Confederate troops engaged the Federal forces along the Chickamauga creek in northern Georgia. Although in the end, the Confederates had forced back the Union troops into retreat, the three day long confused and exhausting conflict would be considered a tactical defeat for the South when General Braxton Bragg failed to pursue the defeated forces back to Missionary Ridge and then Chattanooga.
In the midst of the Confederate forces, three men from Tippah County Mississippi fought together through the frightening and exhausting troop movements and violent conflicts of those three days of September 18-20, 1863.
Link to animated map provided by the Civil War Trust.
In April of 1862, James Joseph Street and his eldest son, George M. D. Street, and James' younger brother, John Waller Street, enlisted with a large group of Tippah County men to join in the defense of northern Mississippi and the Confederacy from the advancing Union forces in Tennessee. The next several years proved to be severe tests for the three men through long forced marches in harsh rugged terrains, ferocious battles, limited supplies, injury, disease, hunger, rain and drought, cold winters and hot summers. At this point in the late summer of 1863, the Confederate forces had been forced back into northern Georgia where General Bragg was massing all of the forces from the marches of Tennessee and as many reinforcements he could obtain.
The Streets were a part of Company G, 'The Sons of Liberty', in the 34th Mississippi Infantry. It is impossible to say exactly what each men faced in their long fight on these days. But the fight would not end here as they would be found at Lookout Mountain above Chattanooga in late November in another great struggle. A brief history of the regiment at Chickamauga is found in "Dunbar Rowland's "Military History of Mississippi, 1803-1898".
"In the Chickamauga campaign Walthall's Brigade was part of W. H. T. Walker's Reserve Corps, so called, which was one of the first commands in battle, fighting on the second day in the woods between the position where General Thomas made his famous stand, and the creek, and on the third day crossing the road between Thomas and Chattanooga. The strength of the regiment was Maj. W. G. Pegram, commanding; Adjutant Miller acting as field officer, one staff officer, 24 company officers and 28~ enlisted men when it went into the first fight at Alexander's bridge over the Chickamauga, September 18, where 24 were wounded, 2 mortally. Finding the bridge destroyed, the brigade crossed at Byram's ford. Next day they moved to the north and finding a large part of Walker's Corps defeated made a gallant charge which caught King's Brigade of United States regulars in the act of changing front. They were swept back with the loss of three or four hundred prisoners and Battery H of the Fifth United States Artillery. One gun of this battery was brought away by two men of the Thirty-fourth before Walthall was in turn forced back. Here the regiment had 5 killed and 54 wounded out of 583 engaged. Among the killed was Sergeant Morrison, Company D, color bearer, whose place was taken and gallantly filled by Private Felix Holland, Company G. Lieutenant Morrow, Company A, and Adjutant Miller were wounded. Patrick Beaty, Company F, compelled an officer of the regulars to surrender, taking his sword. In the evening of the 19th the brigade had another battle in which the Thirty-fourth had 2 killed and 5 wounded. Major Pegram, a gallant officer, was severely wounded, and Captain Bowen took command. Sunday, September 20, with no field officers left, the regiment of 177 had two more battles. In the morning they advanced and came under a severe enfilading fire from Thomas' log works, under which Lieutenant-Colonel Reynolds, assigned to temporary command, fell mortally wounded. In the evening they were again ordered forward, between Thomas' main position and Chattanooga, on the State road, and were enveloped by the fire of a semicircle of artillery. The casualties of the three days were 15 killed, 91 wounded, 19 missing."
In the coming months, I'll discuss events that occur to these three men after this battle up until the end of the war.
A full history of the 34th Mississippi Infantry Regiment is written in the book "Honor Without A Stain", by David B. Boone, Jr. The book is available at Google Play Books. It should be noted that the listing of soldiers in the End Notes misidentifies George Street as having died in 1931 and buried in Benton County, Mississippi. George M.D. Street died in, and was buried in, Wapanucka, OK in 1923.

Prospect of the Week: January 15, 2013
After a break for the World Junior Championships, we continue our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their recent contributions on and off the ice.
The Prospect of the Week for January 15 is … Artem Sergeev, D, Val-d'Or (QMJHL – Canada)
Artem Sergeev is what we call a "bonus pick." He went undrafted twice, but the Lightning saw enough in him last season to commit an NHL contract to him as a free agent on July 1.
Sergeev is a two-way defenseman who is underrated in his own end. He has decent size (6-1) and is a good skater with a high hockey I.Q. The prevailing thought on the Russian blueliner coming into this year was he wasn't the sum of his parts. Although he made the Russian World Junior team a year ago, he posted only 27 points in 64 games with Val-d'Or last season. Scouts expected more of the right-handed rearguard.
The Lightning liked him enough to give him a contract and they've been rewarded for that decision as Sergeev is quickly becoming what scouts always thought he could be – a legitimate threat at both ends of the ice.
This past week, Sergeev had three assists in three games, including two assists in Saturday's win over the Quebec Remparts that gave him at least a point in 10 consecutive games. His career-long streak began on November 16. He had 13 points in those 10 games before the streak was snapped on Sunday.
For the year, Sergeev, an alternate captain with the Foreurs, has five goals and 21 assists in 32 games. His career high for points in a season was set two years ago when he accumulated 27 points in 64 games. He is well on his way to surpassing those totals. His current plus/minus rating of plus-11 is 24 better than his previous best.
Despite missing three weeks of QMJHL play with Russia for the WJCs for the second year in a row (he had two assists in seven games for the bronze medalists), Sergeev is still tied for 10th in the QMJHL in points by a defenseman.
Sergeev, who was ranked No. 23 in our most recent top-25 Lightning prospect rankings, will make his professional debut full-time next year for either Syracuse of the AHL or the Lightning's ECHL affiliate, currently the Florida Everblades.
At the end of Sergeev's three-year contract, which begins when he starts playing professionally, the Lightning and its scouts can see if he's knocking at the door of the NHL and worth another contract. He's making them look good so far.

Little Girl Lost
At the onset of the Civil War, Andrew joined the ranks of the 4th Massachusetts Infantry as a Union soldier for a period of nine months on September 19, 1862. He was only two days shy from completing his nine months of service and returning home to his family when he died from his wounds. Most likely Andrew was buried in Louisiana, as many soldiers were buried in a cemetery where they died.
By the year 1865 when Mary Ann remarried to Thomas W. Pierce, little Joanna B. Thomas was nowhere to be found. I traveled to New Bedford, Fall River, Middleboro, Halifax, Accushnet, Taunton and Mattaposett where I knew Mary Ann had lived, had family, or researching in town halls, etc. looking for my little girl lost. Was she given up for adoption, did she die, or did she live to marry. Then I thought that just maybe if Joanna died I might find Joanna buried in the Centre Cemetery in Wareham, MA where Mary Ann's parents were interred. I discovered tonight that this cemetery has a listing on the Internet.
This Little Girl Lost, Joanna B. Thomas, my great aunt, is now the Little Girl Found. She died of croup. Her stone reads across the top, Joanna B. The front of the stone reads:

TNT Television Network Adds Action and Drama Button to a Sleepy Little Town In Belgium [VIDEO]
When TNT, the television network decided to launch their TV channel in Belgium, they placed a big red push button and a sign hanging over it, smack-dab in the middle of this sleepy, boring, "nothing ever happens here" Flemish little town. Daring the average Flemish person in this Flemish square on an average Flemish day to push it, they mostly just stared at it. The sign over the red button clearly read "Push to add drama." Then finally one person dose, check out what happens next.
What would you have done if this happened to you?

This take on our signature casual, weather-beaten shorts (first launched in 2010) was born out of need. Story goes, our shorts designer was playing tennis in our regular shorts because he had to look presentable to meet up with friends afterward. After an uncomfortable few sets, he decided to develop a special stretch version that looked just as good as the original, but that had a little more give for comfort on the court. Voilà! The stretch short. Tennis, anyone?

A US military investigation into the Nov. 26 NATO bombardment of two Pakistani checkpoints has cast blame on both the Americans and the Pakistanis. The report, released yesterday, said that the Americans failed to share crucial information about their future military movements because its commanders didn't trust their Pakistani counterparts, but also said that Pakistani troops fired on a joint US-Afghan patrol, even after the joint patrol identified itself.
NATO bombs killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, an event that worsened already bad relations between the two supposed allies. The report doesn't appear to have improved matters. Pakistani military officials rejected the report, with Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas calling it "short on facts."
"Pakistan's army does not agree with the findings of the US/Nato inquiry as being reported in the media," Gen. Abbas told reporters in Islamabad. "The inquiry report is short on facts."
The Nov. 26 incident occurred when a joint US-Afghan commando raid on a supposed militant camp on the Afghan-Pakistan border apparently stumbled onto a Pakistani paramilitary force instead. US investigators say the Afghans and Americans came under fire, and called in for air support when the Pakistani patrol continued to fire.
The Afghan-Pakistani border is notoriously porous and poorly marked, so in a sense, it is surprising that more of these events don't occur. It is likely that the US and Afghan patrol would have operated with GPS equipment, with villages, border lines, and specific coordinates for their target clearly marked at all times. But the winding trails that border residents take to reach pastureland or marketplaces don't respect boundaries, and it's plausible that either the joint Afghan-US patrol and the Pakistani soldiers may have gone astray.
[ Video is no longer available. ]
The Nov. 26 NATO bombing attack couldn't have come at a worse time in US-Pakistani relations. Many Pakistanis were already angered by a series of US military drone attacks within Pakistani airspace, the arrest of a CIA contractor Raymond Davis in a double-murder case, and finally, the US military raid, on Pakistani soil, that killed Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden in the town of Abbottabad on May 1.
As Monitor correspondents Issam Ahmed and Owais Tohid wrote in a May 2 story, Bin Laden's presence a few hundred yards away from Pakistan's military academy – nicknamed Pakistan's West Point – gave suspicions that some members of Pakistan's government must have known he was there. Yet while opinion polls show that only 9 percent of Pakistanis "liked" Bin Laden and 80 percent disliked him, the attack by US soldiers on Pakistani soil became transformed into a debate over Pakistani sovereignty.
US investigators in the NATO bombing incident say that it should have been clear to the Pakistani soldiers that they were firing on a US-Afghan coalition force and should have stood down.
Brig. Gen. Stephen Clark, an Air Force special operations officer who led the investigation, told reporters at a press conference that there was "an overarching lack of trust between the two sides" that prevented Pakistan and the US from giving each other specific details of their troops' movements and locations.
Yet while the US appears to be attempting to set their relations with Pakistan back on course, a scan of Pakistani papers this morning shows that Pakistanis themselves have much bigger concerns. Most Pakistani papers lead with stories about rumors of a possible military coup.
In the Daily Times, Tanveer Ahmed quotes a "tirade" by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, warning the Army not to launch a coup.
"Conspiracies are being hatched to pack up the elected government," Gilani told a gathering at the National Arts Gallery. He did not specifically blame the military, but later in the day he made clear in a speech to parliament that the army must operate under the control of the government. "They have to be answerable to this parliament," Gilani said. "They cannot be a state within a state." He called the army "disciplined", saying that they "follow the constitution" and "will remain under the government".
In Dawn, a Reuters agency story reports that Pakistan Army Chief Gen. Ashraf Kayani told troops that the Army will continue to support democracy, and that coup rumors were just "speculation."
And in the Nation, Pakistan's Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry assured citizens that coups were not likely, since disputes could now be settled in a court that was trusted to be independent.
"Past are the days when the courts used to endorse unconstitutional measures; instead, we are sitting here to safeguard the Constitution," Justice Chaudhry was quoted as saying.
For the US and NATO, the worsening of relations with a frontline ally and the domestic instability within that country are both threats to the logistical flow of supplies to their bases in Afghanistan. More than half of all non-military supplies -- items like clothes, and food, and medicines -- are trucked through Pakistan after being offloaded at the Pakistani port of Karachi. But Pakistan banned any further shipment of NATO and US military supplies after the bombing raid. Thursday's investigation report will do little to change that.
