Product Description
"Miyabe is a subtle observer of a country on a cusp...Her American readers can only hope for more chances to see through her eyes." --Los Angeles Times"First published in Japan in 1991, Miyabe's taut suspense novel should win her new fans in the U.S. In the atmospheric opening, magazine investigative reporter Shogo Kosaka, who's driving at night through a typhoon that has struck near Tokyo, gives a lift to a high school boy marooned on the side of the road, Shinji Inamura. In the course of their rainsoaked journey, Shinji tells Shogo he has psychic abilities. After they happen on a father looking for his missing son, who's named Daisuke, Shinji has a vision of the two men responsible for Daisuke's disappearance (and murder). Despite initial skepticism, the journalist agrees to check the teenager's claims. Japan's #1 bestselling mystery author, Miyabe (The Devil's Whisper) keeps the reader guessing whether Shinji really has special powers or is scamming Shogo, and maintains the tension throughout." --Publishers Weekly"Miyabe keeps the reader guessing...and maintains the tension throughout." --Publishers Weekly"This novel is a balance of suspense and mystery mixed with the supernatural. For fans of Japanese crime fiction and Miyabe's other titles, specifically Crossfire, this will be a good choice. A strong title for any mystery reader." --Library Journal

The narrator Shogo Kosaka, in his early thirties, has already had reversals and grown a bit cynical. His fiancé dumped him for embarrassing reasons, and he got demoted as a result. Now he's an investigative reporter for a second-rate magazine. But Kosaka hides a good heart and a courageous spirit behind his wisecracks.
One night in a typhoon someone removes a manhole cover, and a little boy goes missing, probably drowned. Kosaka, driving home through the storm, gives a lift to sixteen-year-old Shinji Inamura. Shinji seems suspiciously knowledgeable about the incident. Finally he confesses to Kosaka that he's psychic. He wants Kosaka to help him find the culprits.
Kosaka has a hard time believing in Shinji's powers, particularly when Shinji turns out to have a friend who's also psychic. While Kosaka wavers between belief and fear of fakery, he's also dealing with a mystery at the office, where he's getting anonymous blank letters and threatening phone calls.
The quirky plot includes a poignant romance for Kosaka and plenty of challenges for Shinji's impulsive idealism.
The title comes from a comment by a wise old policeman: "...we all have a dragon inside us, with strange and unlimited powers. Sometimes the dragon is asleep, and other times it's awake..."
Miyuki Miyabe is highly original writer. She always delivers a gripping story and, as a bonus, brings us inside the psyche of contemporary Japan. No need to read her books in order; each stands on its own. This is a particularly good one.
When Shogo and Shinji take refuge in a nearby all-night restaurant and small inn, Shinji tells him the name of the boy's cat, the name of the man at the front desk, and personal information about the desk clerk's relationship with the waitress, things he should have no way of knowing, later confiding the truth-that he is different, "open," and he can "scan" people to know what they are thinking. He has "seen" a red Porsche, whose driver and passenger removed the manhole cover, and he knows the fate of the boy. Shogo, however, has no evidence and cannot tell the police without compromising young Shinji.
Somehow the author manages to make even a doubter like me "suspend disbelief" and just go with the story, which quickly becomes far more complicated, and involves another psychic teenager who tries to convince Shogo that Shinji is "sick," a fraud. Gradually, dozens of questions arise, both for Shogo and for the reader. What does the second psychic teenager have to gain by discrediting Shinji? Are they both real psychics? What should Shogo do concerning the two men in the red Porsche who actually removed the manhole cover? Who is sending him anonymous notes? How and why are Shogo's former fiancée and her husband involved in the action? How can Shogo protect Shinji, and should he protect him? Is Shogo being used?
The plot often feels like a bad dream from which the dreamer cannot escape. As in dreams, many disparate elements come together in unusual ways. People who don't seem to belong together somehow do, and plot elements which seem unrelated somehow connect. The reader feels empathy with the characters and compassion toward the psychic teenagers.
It is a tribute to the author that this novel, which was actually written in 1991, and only recently translated and published into English, is still fresh and exciting today. One of its strongest and most interesting aspects for western readers is its depiction of ordinary Japanese life. A desk clerk at a small inn where Shogo takes refuge from the typhoon lends Shogo some of his own clothes and boots so Shogo can return to the accident scene. The author illustrates and criticizes snobbish attitudes toward Japan's "elite" schools, and she refers to problems of compensation for "wronged" parents when an engagement of one of their children is broken. The most striking difference, however, is the constant apologizing and acceptance of "guilt" by seemingly strong characters, when events involving other people do not turn out as expected. This is a well-crafted and fascinating novel with paranormal touches--a great escape. Mary Whipple

The following is an official press release from the University of Idaho Athletic Media Reletions Department.
MOSCOW, Idaho – For the third time in four seasons, University of Idaho men's basketball will enter postseason play under head coach Don Verlin when the team hosts UC Santa Barbara in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).
We're extremely excited at the opportunity to play more basketball and to continue to build this program," Verlin said. "I'm excited for this program, our seniors, and our university."
The Vandals and Gauchos will tip off on Wednesday, Mar. 14, at 7 p.m. (PT) in the Cowan Spectrum. It will be the first meeting between the two teams since 2005, when both were members of the Big West Conference.
Idaho is 18-13 overall after a third-place finish in the Western Athletic Conference, while UC Santa Barbara went 20-10 overall and tied for second in the Big West. The Gauchos lost to top-seeded Long Beach State in Sunday's Big West Conference Championship Game.
UCSB leads the all-time series by a 12-7 margin, but the Vandals are 7-2 all-time in games played at Moscow, Idaho. This will be the first postseason meeting in series history.
Tickets to Wednesday's game are $10 for all seats. Idaho basketball season ticket holders have the option of Club Room seating for $10 each. University of Idaho students will need to purchase tickets.
"A chance to host in our facility is great and having a home game tells you what kind of season we had and what kind of respect we're getting from people in the basketball community," Verlin said. "I also appreciate our university for stepping up and allowing us to host a game."
The Gauchos feature three-time All-Big West First Team selection Orlando Johnson, a 6-5 senior guard who averages 19.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Senior guard James Nunnally, a Second-Team All-Big West pick, adds 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.7 rebounds per game.
UC Santa Barbara averages 72.6 points per game and allows 65.8 to its opponents. The Gauchos shoot 45.7 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from 3-point range and out-rebound opponents, 37.8-33.8 per game.
"This is a very good team coming in here," Verlin said. "It's a team that is experienced, that has two really powerful wing players – as good of wing players as you'll see in our conference – and they've been to the NCAA tournament the last two years. I was excited to get someone of their caliber, because it challenges us as a team and it gives our fans a great opponent to watch."
Wednesday's game marks Idaho's third appearance in the CIT under Verlin. The team is 1-2 overall in CIT play. In 2009, the Vandals hosted Drake in a 69-67 first-round victory, then fell in the quarterfinal at Pacific, 69-59. The Vandals lost at San Francisco in the first round last season, 81-73.
In its fourth season, the CIT expanded this season to 32 teams. The tournament will consist of five rounds with each game being played at on-campus sites, determined by seeding. The Championship Game will be broadcast live on Fox College Sports on Wednesday, Mar. 28, 2012.
Idaho is one of two WAC teams in the tournament. Utah State hosts Cal State Bakersfield in the opening round on Wednesday.
The only other time Idaho qualified for postseason play three times in a four-year span was 1980-83, when the team went to the NCAA Tournament twice (1980-81, 1981-82) and the National Invitation Tournament once (1982-83) under Vandal Athletic Hall of Fame coach Don Monson.

OUTLIER/N/SST/F1 Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of OUTLIER/Nin our 2015, and 2016 Smith range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The OUTLIER/N is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. Similar to grey, brown lenses don't distort the visual impression as much as other colours do. With all other shades, the eyes take longer to neutralize the colour impression. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection. Whether driving or out on the slopes, your own safety sometimes depends on your angle of vision. The polarizing lenses in this model block the glare from reflecting surfaces, such as water, glass or snow and best sight is guaranteed.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new Smith on the same day. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Stephen Colbert's Super Pac Collaboration with UT Student Goes National
Stephen Colbert's deconstruction of the inanity of election spending has been brilliant -- usually there's no way you're ever going to get anyone to care about this stuff, but he's found a way to expose all the ridiculousness of it in a way that keeps viewers hooked.
And now he has UT's help.
Longhorn student Paul Benefiel wrote to Colbert, an e-mail that was read on the show last week, asking to set up his own Super Pac like Colbert's.

"The worst mistake Pres. Obama made" was not getting out front to embrace the 2010 Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction proposal, Alan Greenspan says. Mark Gongloff reacts: "Remind me again why Alan Greenspan is still giving speeches to anybody other than pigeons in the park?" (video)

They are both right. Greenspan should be living somewhere in shame. (Along with the likes of Rubin and Summers and Shapiro).
Greenspan must be daft. Surely he knows that politicians derive their power from spending. The difference between the two parties is not about spending. It's about taxes. Democrats want to tax and spend while Republicans want to cut taxes and spend. Given the choice, I'll go with the tax cutters. We may as well get this over with sooner rather than latter.
Some day there will be a eureka moment in Washington and someone will postulate that 'we need to cut the deficit.' (Don't look for it during an election year, BTW).

seems like there is a lot of downward pressure. any ideas on what's going on?
I agree with airwolf, though I'd add increased oil prices as another factor in the pull back. Oil moved above $60 a barrel again today for the first time in a while, and skyw isn't the only one in the industry to have lost a couple percentage points or more today. Again, going with airworlf, I wouldn't expect much until there's some measure of certainty in the outcome of the Delta ordeal. -Andrew
err... moved above $60 a barrel yesterday, not today, sorry.
2 negatives for skyw right now. the first is the increased float, which dilutes existing shareholders. it decreases each shareholders piece of the earning's pie. the second is the threat of a strike by the delta pilots. if the pilots do strike, delta will liquidate and skyw will lose a big chunk of business. i believe it is called a "material adverse effect." my take on both. first, the skyw shareholders have done well by this management team, so give them the benefit of doubt. if they feel they have good use for the money, go for it. the delta pilots are trickier. the strike vote is to convince management to negotiate. the results of the vote will be in the high 90s authorizing the union leadership to call a strike. the pilots will hope they do not have to strike. they understand the outcome. not good for anyone except the competition. my guess is a compromise.
Excellent analysis wolfman! IMO you nailed exactly what is happening...

Should Home Sellers Overprice or Underprice Real-Estate Listings?
New research explores the power of price "anchoring" when buyers look at real estate.
"The Price Is Right" isn't just a game show. It is a mental strategy real-estate agents use to get the most money when listing a home.
When setting an asking price, there are two schools of thought: In one, agents overprice properties in the belief that a higher asking price will draw higher initial offers from potential buyers.
Wendy Jodel, associate broker with Town Residential in New York City, says overpricing works when inventory is low. Ms. Jodel recently listed a two-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side for $1.35 million—4.5% above the price of similar apartments nearby. "I had no competition," she says, adding that few comparable apartments are available in the area. The apartment closed this week with multiple offers for $1.32 million.
Name Your Price
Sellers who listed their homes...
- ...10% to 20% higher than other homes in the neighborhood saw a slight increase of 0.05% to 0.07%, on average, in the sale price.
- ...10% to 20% lower than other homes in the neighborhood saw a slight decrease of 0.5% to 0.8% in the sale price.
- In 10 sample listings, real-estate agents recommended underpricing homes at a frequency of 70.4%.
Source: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, May
Other real-estate agents take the opposite approach, pricing homes below nearby properties in hopes of starting a bidding war. Chris McDonnell, senior associate broker with Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties in Vail, Colo., says he prefers to underprice homes by 5% to 10%. Now, even in a heated market, buyers are looking for a bargain, he says. If sellers start low, they could potentially add 10% to 15% to the sale price. "There's so much pent-up demand out there right now. Money is just waiting on the sidelines," he says.
This strategy, however, poses a challenge: "It's really hard to get your seller to agree to that," Mr. McDonnell says.
New research tackles this dilemma. A study published in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization in May found that homeowners who set the initial asking price 10% to 20% higher than similar houses in the neighborhood see a slight increase of $117 to $163, on average, in their sale price. Pricing a home 20% or more than similar houses leads to an impact three to four times as big.
Pricing a home 10% to 20% lower than homes in the neighborhood leads to a decrease of $117 to $187, on average, in the home's sale price.
The research explores a behavioral trait called "anchoring." That is a common tendency to rely on the first piece of information offered (the "anchor") when making decisions. Once buyers have an anchor, they typically interpret other information involved in the sale around it.
"Every house is different, and so those qualitative things really matter. Buyers will turn to the good attributes that justify the high price," says Grace Bucchianeri, former assistant professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Prof. Bucchianeri and co-author Julia Minson, a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania at the time, analyzed 14,616 real-estate transactions in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania between January 2005 and April 2009 with an average sale price of $234,000.
The study, "A homeowner's dilemma: Anchoring in residential real estate transactions" found that "overwhelmingly anchoring is a good strategy," Prof. Bucchianeri says.
In the same study, researchers found that while agents privately believe that overpricing leads to a higher final sale, they publicly advocate underpricing. In this study, 35 agents were shown 10 sample properties between March 28, 2011, and May 2, 2011, and asked to recommend a listing price. In 70.4% of the properties viewed, agents recommended underpricing.
They had a "strong belief that listing low was the only way to go," Prof. Bucchianeri says. "'If you list it too high, you would never sell your house,' they thought."
Pricing low may speed up the sale, which can save the real-estate agent both time and money spent marketing the property. In the end, agents may get a lower commission, but the difference is usually negligible. "It's intuitive if you think about it," she says. "It looks like the realtors are doing what's best for them, and as homeowners, we need to understand that relationship."

It probably seemed odd to more than a few people when NBC of all places scooped up The Playboy Club, a drama series about the girls working at a Playboy club in Chicago in the '60s. After all, while the girls in the club weren't naked, network TV might be a more constricting place for a show that by its very nature will deal with sex and sexuality. Well, never fear, my horny, TV-drama loving friends: actors on the show have been asked to sign contracts with nudity clauses that are "unheard of" for broadcast TV. From Variety:
Variety obtained a copy of the clause. It stipulates: "Nudity as defined above and/or simulated sex acts may be required in connection with player's services in the pilot and/or series"…
Insiders say no nudity was shot for the pilot, nor are there any specific plans to do so should the series be picked up. The inclusion of the clause wasn't generated by producers, who never pitched "Playboy" as something with envelope-pushing sex scenes, but may have come from business affairs execs looking to maximize potential backend — ahem — opportunities.
Unfortunately, this news doesn't mean you'll be seeing topless women (or bottomless men) after your weekly dose of America's Got Talent. Instead, it's more likely that NBC may try to shoot scenes that won't make it past network censors but could be used for for a racier, R-rated DVD release. (It's always about the money with them, never the philanthropic desire to bring hot naked people to the masses.)
On top of that, SAG guidelines require that all actors be given copies of any such scenes in advance, which they can decline to appear in if they choose. And, on top of that, it's still just a pilot. But maybe one day, God willing, you'll get to see side boob from Amber Heard on your special-edition DVD.

Volvo's S60 sedan sits between the company's entry-level S40 and the top-of-the-line S80; it competes with midsize luxury cars, including the Acura TL and Lincoln MKZ. Front- or all-wheel-drive models are available. Trims include the 2.5T, the all-wheel drive 2.5T and the T5. The T5 is the sportiest of the group; it gets a sport suspension.
New for 2009
All versions now come standard with an automatic transmission with manual shift functionality; more standard features have been added to each trim level.
A curvy shape, far removed from past Volvos, gives the four-door S60 the look of a coupe. The grille and bumper were redesigned in 2006, and they appear smoother and less angular than those of older S60s. The S60 is 181.2 inches long and 71 inches wide, which is smaller than its competitors.
- Available 16-, 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels
- Standard fog lights
- Standard power glass sunroof
- Standard power heated mirrors with memory function
- Optional headlight washers (standard on T5)
- Optional bi-xenon headlights with articulating headlamps (standard on T5)
- Optional rear park assist (standard on T5)
The S60's businesslike dashboard groups audio and climate controls within a broad center panel; it's a design similar to the previous-generation S80. Up to five occupants fit inside the S60. A center tunnel console includes a storage bin and a flexible cupholder. A split, folding rear seat expands cargo capacity beyond the trunk's 13.9 cubic feet; overall passenger space comes in at 94.3 cubic feet, which is smaller than the TL and MKZ. For 2009, power window switches have been revised.
- Standard leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and seating surfaces
- Standard power passenger seat
- In 2.5T, genuine wood inlays; T5 gets brushed aluminum inlays
- Optional heated front seats
- Optional 13-speaker surround-sound system with six-disc CD changer (standard on T5)
- Optional navigation system
Under the Hood
Both S60 inline-five-cylinder engines are turbocharged. The manual transmission option has been dropped for the S60, but the automatic now has a standard manual shift function.
Zero-to-60 acceleration ranges from 6.6 seconds in the T5 to 7.2 seconds in the AWD 2.5T, Volvo estimates. The front-wheel-drive 2.5T splits the difference at 6.9 seconds.
- 208-horsepower, 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine with 236 pounds-feet of torque (2.5T)
- 257-hp, 2.4-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine with 258 pounds-feet of torque (T5)
- Standard five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift functionality
- Front- or all-wheel-drive options
- Optional speed-sensitive steering (standard on T5)
- Sport suspension on T5
Features include:
- Standard front, side-impact and side curtain airbags
- Standard antilock brakes with electronic brake force distribution
- Standard electronic stability and traction control systems
- Standard security system
- Standard immobilizer-encrypted ignition key
- Optional rear park assist (standard on T5)

A number of significant historical events have occurred in...
Colquitt Miller County, in southwest Georgia. The state legislature established Miller County in February 1856 from portions of Early and Baker counties. Later that same year inferior-court justices, granted authority by lawmakers to choose a central location for business, declared Colquitt the county seat. The town was named for Walter Terry Colquitt, a circuit-riding Methodist preacher, attorney, judge, and statesman who served Georgia in the state senate, U.S. senate, and U.S. Congress.
Agriculture is a major industry in the Colquitt and Miller County areas, the main crops being peanuts, cotton, corn, and timber.
Despite the Swamp Gravy, a locally run theater company that brings southern-spun tales to the stage. The plays are often based on local folklore, and community members of all ages and backgrounds participate in the productions. Swamp Gravy performances occur each spring and fall, usually playing to packed houses inside the Cotton Hall, a restored warehouse built during the New Deal, which serves as a theater. The Cotton Hall also houses the Storytelling Museum, with 10,000 artifacts illustrating life in rural southwest Georgia.
Colquitt is also home to HennyPenny Video/Television Productions Incorporated, a nonprofit organization headed by Ralph Wilcox, a thirty-year veteran of theater and television. Wilcox serves as southwest Georgia's film commissioner and is executive director of HennyPenny, which operates a modern
Other local attractions include Georgia's official monument to Native Americans. The twenty-seven-foot cedar sculpture, titled Whispering Giants, is by Hungarian-born artist Peter Toth, who has placed one of these tributes in every state. As of 2006 the Millennium Mural Project, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, and the Georgia Council for the Arts, consists of eleven murals in Colquitt. The state legislature designated Colquitt "Georgia's First Mural City" in 2006. Every April the city, known as the "Mayhaw Capital of the World," celebrates the National Mayhaw Festival with a parade and arts-and-crafts show. The mayhaw, the fruit of the thorny hawthorne tree, is very tart and most commonly used in making jellies and jams.
According to the 2010 U.S. census, the population of Colquitt was 1,992.

Each year the third and fourth quarters are steeped in "economic recovery". Then every first and second quarter we find out it is simply "transitory". Yet the market believes and rallies. The only difference this year is that now there is a "permanent QE" of at least $85 billion per month.
Amazing how much market complacency a trillion dollars a year can bring.
Even in the disaster year of 2008 the markets found "balance" during the months from mid-November through the end of January as funds are being allocated and re-allocated. Because where else can you put the money?
My thesis is that the markets would endure no pullback until after Inauguration Day. Well, it is here. Who says they don't ring a bell?

[410] almost out of ammunition, I concluded to follow the Salisbury road, and toward evening was joined by Captain Foster, Fifty-ninth regiment A. D., with about six hundred of his own and the Fifty-fifth regiment A. D., he having crossed over from the Salem road, which he considered unsafe. That night we bivouacked near Brooks', about five miles from Salisbury. The next morning at daylight we resumed the march, and after proceeding about three miles turned to the left, taking a settlement road leading to Davis' mills. Upon arriving at Davis', I found the bridge partially destroyed, and upon halting to repair it we were fired upon by a considerable number of the enemy, who were soon driven back, after wounding two of our men on the hill, and one of the flankers of the One Hundred and Fourteenth Illinois, and hitting the horse of Lieutenant-Colonel King, while passing the swamps beyond the bridge. Soon after, we were again attacked in front, but owing to the vigilance of the half-breed scouts of company H, Ninth Minnesota, and the handsome conduct of the advanced guard of the Ninety-fifth Ohio, under command of Captain----, they were unable to do much execution. At one time our rear was charged upon by about one hundred and fifty of Buford's cavalry, but they were repulsed by the negro troops and a few of the half-breeds. Our rear was, however, occasionally fired upon until long after dark, but the imperturbable coolness and steadiness of the colored troops, under command of Captain Foster, kept them in check and prevented confusion. At twelve o'clock on the night of the twelfth, the command bivouacked four miles east of Colliersville, which place was reached about nine A. M. next day. We found here neither cars, rations, nor reinforcements. The command rested until noon. In the meantime Lieutenant Hosmer, of the One Hundred and Thirteenth Illinois, Brigade Inspector, volunteered to proceed to some point on the railroad from which information could be communicated of our approach. He was joined by Captain----, of the One Hundred and Eighth Illinois, Sergeant----, and two privates. Within three miles of Colliersville they were attacked by a party numbering about fifteen, who ordered them to halt. Their horses, already jaded, were put to their speed. Although frequently fired upon and closely followed, no one of the party was killed or wounded. I regret to say, however, that the gallant captain and the sergeant were captured. The lieutenant and the two privates arrived in safety at White's station at ten A. M. As the command approached the vicinity where the party referred to was attacked, the column was halted and the scouts sent in advance, who soon discovered a party of the enemy. Skirmishing continued until the whistle of the train which brought reinforcements was heard. Hard bread was here issued to the men, while the infantry reinforcements and the cavalry command under Major Malone formed line of battle in front of the train in time to meet the attack of a regiment of the enemy's cavalry. The command, numbering about one thousand six hundred, of the different brigades, arrived in Memphis on the same evening (thirteenth instant), in a pitiable condition. Nearly all were barefooted, their feet badly blistered and swollen, and in some cases poisoned. Most of them had eaten nothing for three days, and all had suffered from want of food. Colonel Thomas, commanding the Ninety-third Indiana; Lieutenant-Colonel King, commanding the One Hundred and Fourteenth Illinois; Lieutenant-Colonel Brombeck, commanding Ninety-fifth Ohio; Lieutenant-Colonel Eaton, commanding Seventy-second Ohio; Lieutenant-Colonel Marsh, commanding Ninth Minnesota; Captain Fitch, commanding light battery company E, and Captain Miller, commanding section of Sixth Indiana battery, deserve especial mention for the judicious and gallant manner in which they handled their respective comands. I am much indebted to Lieutenant-Colonels King, Brombeck, and Eaton, and Lieutenant-Colonel Floyd, of the One Hundred and Twentieth Illinois, and other officers, for information in regard to the roads over which we passed in the retreat. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of each member of my staff. The duties imposed upon them were onerous in the extreme, owing to their limited number. Lieutenant Cruse, Adjutant of the Ninth Minnesota, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, although under fire for the first time, conducted himself with all the coolness of a veteran. Lieutenant Hosmer, of the One Hundred and Thirteenth Illinois, Inspector of the brigade, rendered me great service as an Aid. His gallant conduct deserves great praise. I am also greatly indebted to Lieutenant Bailey, of the Nineteeenth Pennsylvania cavalry, who volunteered his services as an Aid early in the action, and remained with me, rendering valuable service, until obliged to rejoin his regiment. Acting Brigade Surgeon R. H. Bingham, and Acting Brigade Quartermaster, Lieutenant Mower, of the One Hundred and Fourteenth Illinois infantry, performed with credit their respective duties. I transmit herewith the reports of the regimental and battery commanders, with the lists of casualties accompanying the same. I would here remark that I had no opportunity of seeing the Ninety-fifth Ohio while engaged with the enemy. Its severe loss attests its gallant con duct and great exposure. I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant,
Alex. Wilken, Colonel Ninth Minnesota Infantry Volunteers, Late Commanding First Brigade, &c. Lieutenant O. H. Abel, A. A. A. G. Infantry Division U. S. Forces, &c.
