In Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's advance through Georgia in the spring of 1864, the Army of the Cumberland numbered over 60,000 men, and Thomas's staff did the logistics and engineering for Sherman's entire army group. At theBattle of Peachtree Creek (July 20, 1864), Thomas's defense severely damaged Lt. Gen. John B. Hood's army in its first attempt to break the siege of Atlanta.When Hood broke away from Atlanta in the autumn of 1864, menaced Sherman's long line of communications, and endeavored to force Sherman to follow him, Sherman abandoned his communications and embarked on the March to the Sea. Thomas stayed behind to fight Hood in the Franklin-Nashville Campaign. Thomas, with a smaller force, raced with Hood to reach Nashville, where he was to receive reinforcements.At the Battle of Franklin on November 30, 1864, a large part of Thomas's force, under command of Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield, dealt Hood a strong defeat and held him in check long enough to cover the concentration at Nashville. At Nashville, Thomas had to organize his forces, drawn from all parts of the West and including many young troops and even quartermaster employees. He declined to attack until his army was ready and the ice covering the ground had melted enough for his men to move. The North, including General Grant himself (now general-in-chief of all Union armies), grew impatient at the delay. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan was sent with an order to replace Thomas, and soon afterwards Grant started a journey west from City Point, Virginia to take command in person.Thomas attacked on December 15, 1864, in the Battle of Nashville and destroyed Hood's command. Thomas sent his wife, Frances Lucretia Kellogg Thomas, the following telegram, the only communication surviving of the Thomases's correspondence: "We have whipped the enemy, taken many prisoners and considerable artillery."Thomas was appointed a major general in the regular army, with date of rank of his Nashville victory, and received the Thanks of Congress:“... to Major-General George H. Thomas and the officers and soldiers under his command for their skill and dauntless courage, by which the rebel army under General Hood was signally defeated and driven from the state of Tennessee.”Thomas also received another nickname from his victory: "The Sledge of Nashville".Louis J SheehanTao CetiYY-IIBlack MailboxElement 116UuhUnunhexium18 differentHanger 18 http://louis-j-sheehan.squarespace.com/journal/ http://forum.hawaiitribune-herald.com/viewtopic.php?p=350 - 350Louis J Sheehanhttp://www.adn.com/news/politics/fbi/anderson/story/9374361p-9286744c.htmlLouis J Sheehanhttp://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9373335p-9286744c.htmlLouis J Sheehanhttp://louis-j-sheehan.squarespace.com/journal/http://www.aeonity.com/gburg2Louis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/static/includes/corruption/Anderson/letters/Sheehanletter.pdfLouis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/static/images/pdf/10-9-07_Anderson defense sentencing memorandum.pdfLouis J Sheehan http://louisjsheehan102207.blogspot.com/Louis J Sheehanhttp://louis-j-sheehan.squarespace.com/journal/ http://community.adn.com/adn_story_9286744 - comment-67128Louis J Sheehan http://louisjsheehan102207.blogspot.com/Louis J Sheehan http://www.aeonity.com/gburg2Louis J Sheehan http://forums.perseusbooksgroup.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5029 - 5029Louis J Sheehan http://louis1j1sheehan10907.blogsavy.com/Louis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/static/includes/corruption/Anderson/letters/Sheehanletter.pdfLouis J Sheehanhttp://www.adn.com/news/politics/fbi/anderson/story/9374361p-9286744c.htmlLouis J Sheehan http://forum.hawaiitribune-herald.com/viewtopic.php?p=350 - 350 Louis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9373335p-9286744c.html Louis J Sheehan http://forums.perseusbooksgroup.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5029 - 5029Louis J Sheehan http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/93520/Louis-J-Sheehan-102107Louis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9373335p-9286744c.html Louis J Sheehan http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1458392Louis J Sheehan http://www.aeonity.com/gburg2Louis J Sheehan http://www.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com/health/4556-definition-single-payer-system.html - post72156Louis J Sheehan http://www.theenvironmentsite.org/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=9468Louis J Sheehan http://louisjsheehan2.blogstream.com/Louis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/static/images/pdf/10-9-07_Anderson defense sentencing memorandum.pdfLouis J Sheehan http://community.adn.com/adn_story_9286744 - comment-67128Louis J Sheehan http://forums.perseusbooksgroup.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5029 - 5029 Louis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/static/images/pdf/10-9-07_Anderson defense sentencing memorandum.pdfLouis J Sheehan http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/93520/Louis-J-Sheehan-102107Louis J SheehanThe Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 18 to September 20, 1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in south-central Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.The battle was fought between the Union Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg, and was named for the (now South) Chickamauga Creek, which flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga. Chickamauga was a local Indian word meaning "Stagnant River" or, less accurately, "River of Death," usage that may have begun after the battle.[1] http://louis1j1sheehan10907.blogsavy.com/Louis J Sheehan http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/93520/Louis-J-Sheehan-102107Louis J Sheehan In his successful Tullahoma Campaign in the summer of 1863, Rosecrans moved southeast from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, driving Bragg across the state of Tennessee to the city of Chattanooga, suffering only 560 casualties along the way. Chattanooga was a vital city for Union war aims because seizing it would open the door for an assault on Atlanta and the heartland of the South. General-in-chief Henry W. Halleck was insistent that Rosecrans move quickly to seize Chattanooga. President Abraham Lincoln declared that "whoever controls Chattanooga will win the war." Chattanooga was also vital to the Confederate States of America. The location between Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Raccoon Mountain, and Stringer's Ridge was strategically important. In addition, Chattanooga was a rail hub (lines going northward toward Nashville and Knoxville and southward toward Atlanta), a center of banking and commerce, and a manufacturing center (iron and coke) located on the navigable Tennessee River.http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9373335p-9286744c.htmlLouis J Sheehan http://louis1j1sheehan10907.blogsavy.com/Louis J Sheehan http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9373335p-9286744c.htmlLouis J Sheehan http://www.topix.net/forum/ncaa/penn-state-football/TE963TGIUEV6Q3PAPLouis J Sheehan http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1441869Louis J SheehanSituated between the Southern states of Tennessee and Virginia and the Northern states of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the border state of Kentucky was coveted by both sides of the conflict because of its central location. So much so, in fact, that in September 1861, Kentucky-born President Abraham Lincoln wrote in a private letter, “I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.”Opposing viewpoints within the state vied for control during the early part of the war, and while the state never seceded from the Union, a Confederate capital was set up in Bowling Green in November 1861. This prompted recognition of Kentucky by the Confederate States and the addition of a star representing Kentucky to the Confederate flag.

He believed the campaign would allow them to obtain supplies, enlist recruits, divert Union troops from Tennessee, and claim Kentucky for the Confederacy. Smith, established as an independent commander by Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and Braxton Bragg, designated commander of the Army of Mississippi by Davis, met together in Chattanooga on July 31 and devised a plan for the campaign: The newly-created Army of Kentucky, including two of Bragg's brigades and approximately 21,000 men, would march north under Smith's command into Kentucky. They would begin to oppose the Union troops there, while Bragg would travel west to oppose Major General Don Carlos Buell's Army of the Ohio and try to recapture Nashville. Later, the two would reunite near Lexington for a final advance across the state.Bragg, however, was indecisive and continuously desired more men. After Smith left Chattanooga on August 13, Bragg changed his mind. Instead of advancing on Nashville to retake the city from Buell as planned, he wanted to turn north into Kentucky to rejoin Smith, but only if he could avoid facing Buell, who was advancing on Chattanooga from the west. http://democratsforum.com/phpbb/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=38&sid=bb240dd943a819486ea446b73c02039c Louis J Sheehan http://www.topix.com/forum/news/ufo-and-alien/TUJEOEGN7K3R0HQ16 Louis J Sheehan http://louisjsheehan112112.blogsavy.com/ Louis J Sheehan http://buybox.amazon.com/tag/comedy/forum?cdThread=Tx5DS10KVZ1M5U Louis J Sheehan http://forum.greenpeace.org/int/showthread.php?p=42674 Louis J Sheehan http://louisjsheehan112112.blogsavy.com/2007/10/Louis J Sheehan http://www.amazon.com/tag/environment/forum?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx3L0R7LH3939V7&cdThread=Tx2V3RE5L2DGILG&displayType=tagsDetail DOCTORS AND POLITICIAN MISS MOST OBVIOUS SOLUTIONS TO MEDICAL MALPRACTICE “CRISIS”: THE FORGOTTEN MEMO OF SOLUTIONS. Herb Denenberg Column for May 05, 2003Doctors and politicians in search of the magic bullet to solve the so-called medical malpractice crisis have focused on a pie-in-the-sky solution that won’t fly politically or constitutionally – the $250,000 cap on pain and suffering. That would take a constitutional amendment, which requires something close to a political consensus. That political consensus will never happen due to the determined and effective opposition of the trial lawyers and most consumer organizations, and the difficulties inherent in passing any constitutional amendment at the state or federal level. What’s worse, the public, even if half-informed, would reject the concept, of a cap on damages. It is obviously unfair and off the wall. In the process of primary focus on a solution that will never happen these interest groups are missing the more obvious, the more practical and the more immediate solutions that may produce bigger and quicker premium reductions. To find these solutions all the doctors and politicians would have to do is to read a memo dated February 28, 2002, entitled “Suggestions to Effect Immediate Premium Savings for Health Care Providers.” The memo was written by John H. Reed, then the Director of the Cat Fund (now an attorney in private practice in Sellingsgrove, Pennsylvania), and his Deputy Director, Robert W. Waeger. Here are a few of their recommendations, which should be given immediate and serious consideration, but which have been ignored by doctors and politicians and legislators and by the insurance commissioner and the insurance industry (the latter two groups being in perpetual hibernation when it comes to new ideas or basic reforms of the present system). LET STATE PROVIDE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE COVERAGE THROUGH CAT FUND. Now doctors have to go to commercial insurers for the first $500,000 of coverage (the excess over that $500,000 primary limit is now provided by the CAT Fund). The commercial insurance companies don’t want to write the business. Fine. They should have no complaints when the state of Pennsylvania fills the vacuum. As the memo in question indicates, the Cat Fund could provide the first $500,000 coverage for 40 percent less than the commercial insurance industry. That would be possible, as the state through the Cat Fund, would have a lower expense ratio. They would not have to pay commissions to agents or support a major marketing structure. The Cat Fund would not have to earn and pay a profit to shareholders. It would not have to pay taxes. It would not have to support the corporate structure that goes with any commercial insurance operation. The CAT Fund pays out in claims 99 cents on the dollar of collected premiums; commercial insurers, in contrast, pay out 60 to 65 cents on the dollar in claims, with 35 to 40 cents going for marketing, commissions, profits, etc. CUT REQUIREMENT OF $500,000 IN PRIMARY COVERAGE TO $200,000. Now each doctor must buy $500,000 in commercial insurance and the rest if sold by the state-operated CAT fund. If this $500,000 requirement were cut to $200,000, the Reed-Waeger Memo estimates premiums would be reduced by at least 25 to 35 percent. This would also increase the market for malpractice as commercial insurers would have to shoulder less risk, and that in turn would improve the competitive environment. It would also make it easier for doctors to use self-insurance, risk retention groups (RRGs), fronted captives and other alternatives to commercial insurance (see next reform on RRGs). This change could come about without adoption of the first recommended change. PROMOTE USE OF RRGs. The Risk Retention Group is a self-insurance device, which involves doctors banding together in non-profit groups to self-insure their coverage. It is a min-insurance company. The reduction of the primary requirement from $500,000 to $200,000, as suggested above, would make this approach easier to undertake. Although not mentioned in the MEMO, Reed recommends that a solvency fund be created to cover RRGs for medical malpractice. This was a recommendation he did make in testifying before the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce on February 10, 2003. Now RRGs are not so covered, and this means that doctors would have a dangerous exposure if the RRG would go under. With commercial insurance companies, there is a solvency fund back-up and if this were extended to RRGs, they would become more popular and could make a larger contribution to the solution of any problems in obtaining reasonably priced medical malpractice insurance. The MEMO estimates that some specialists could cut their premiums by 60 to70 percent with RRGs. COMPRESS RATE SCHEDULE. Now there is incredible variation in premiums between so-called high-risk specialists and lower-risk categories of doctors. Premiums are so tailored to each category of doctors that the insurance function of spreading risk does not work as effectively as it might. Compressing rate schedules means that the differences between the highest and lowest risk categories would be reduced, thus lowering the burden on the higher risk specialties and spreading risk more evenly. The Memo says, if the lowest risk groups paid $1,000 more, the higher risks groups could be cut by up to l/3rd. CONCLUSION. The MEMO has a good summary of what these recommended changes might do: “What now seems to be a looming crisis can be averted. All of the above options … will immediately reduce malpractice premiums to health care providers. Most importantly, they can accomplish that result without taking money from taxpayers, without triggering the additional expense of borrowing, without burdening future generations of health care providers, and without having to bar the door of the courthouse to those individuals having legitimate claims.” (c)2003 Herbert S.

SheehanMeanwhile, Buell was having his own difficulty sticking with any particular plan for very long. Instead of continuing toward Chattanooga, he decided to fall back to defend Nashville. When Bragg realized Buell would no longer be in his way, he crossed the Cumberland River into Kentucky. The news that Smith and Bragg were both in Kentucky convinced Buell of the need to get his army between the Confederates and the Union cities of Louisville and Cincinnati. On September 7, Buell's Army of the Ohio left Nashville and began racing Bragg to Louisville.On the way, Bragg was distracted from his objective by the capture of a Union fort at Munfordville. Now, he had to decide again whether to continue toward a fight with Buell (over Louisville) or rejoin Smith, who had gained control of the center of the state by capturing Richmond and Lexington and threatened to move on Cincinnati. He chose to rejoin Smith. This allowed Buell to reach Louisville where the Union general gathered, reorganized and reinforced his army with thousands of new recruits. Meanwhile, Bragg met Smith in Frankfort where Bragg believed the main body of the Union army was. There he was able to attend the inauguration of Confederate Governor Richard Hawes on October 4.

SheehanOn October 1, Buell left Louisville with Major General George Henry Thomas as his second in command. While 20,000 men under Brigadier General Joshua Sill moved toward Frankfort, the Army of the Ohio, with 58,000 troops under Buell and Thomas, advanced toward Bragg's army in Bardstown on three separate roads:0.1st Corps - Major General Alexander McDowell McCook - on the left, along the Mackville Road0.2nd Corps - Major General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden - on the right, along the Lebanon Road0.3rd Corps - Major General Charles Champion Gilbert - in the center, along the Springfield PikeWhen he left for Frankfort on September 28, Bragg left his army of 30,000 soldiers in Bardstown with Major General Leonidas Polk. On October 6, the approach of the large Union force caused the Confederates to withdraw eastward to Perryville.The area had been afflicted by a drought for months. The heat was oppressive for both men and horses, and the few useful sources of drinking water provided by the rivers and creeks west of town were desperately sought after. On the evening of October 7, Confederate Major General William J. Hardee established a line of defense across the three roads leading into Perryville from the north and west, including Peter's Hill overlooking Doctors Creek.Hearing there was water in Doctors Creek, a group of Union soldiers from Major General Charles Gilbert's 3rd Corps crossed the creek around 2:00 am, intending to set up a picket line on Peter's Hill. There they encountered Hardee's men, and a skirmish erupted with the Union force pushing the Confederates back. http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9373335p-9286744c.html Louis J SheehanLouis J.

SheehanAround 7:00 am, against Bragg's orders, Polk met with his officers and recommended that, because of the size of the Union opposition, they should assume a defensive strategy. Bragg, in Harrodsburg to gather his men for what he still believed would be the main battle in Frankfort, was concerned by 8:00 am that he did not hear the sound of Polk's attack. Travelling to Perryville without accurate reports of the strength of the enemy, Bragg insisted that Polk prepare to strike what they believed was the Union left flank on the Mackville Road with Confederate Major General Benjamin F. Cheatham's division.At 2:00 pm, Cheatham's men crossed the river, climbed the bluffs above it, and attacked Union Major General Alexander McCook's 22,000 soldiers. Confederate Brigadier General Daniel Donelson, leading the center of the attack, quickly realized that his men were striking the center of the Union line, not its flank. Hit hard by Union Captain Charles Parsons' artillery on their right, Donelson's men were turned back with heavy losses. Following right behind them, however, Brigadier General George E. Maney's veteran Tennessee fighters began pushing the raw Union forces back in fierce fighting, charging up and over one hill after another. Often, the Union artillery were unable to fire their guns down steeply enough to strike the Confederates as they advanced up the hills, and eventually Maney's men overran and captured Parson's artillery on the Open Knob.About an hour after the start of Cheatham's attack, Major General Simon Buckner issued revised orders to the men of Confederate Brigadier General Bushrod R. Johnson. Bragg had intended for them to advance straight ahead to the west against Harris' men, but when Buckner saw the strength of the Union position, he directed Johnson to move slightly to the left to use the hills opposite Doctor's Creek as cover. Not all of Johnson's men received the revised orders, and the various brigades advanced in a very disorganized manner. As regiments crossed in front of and behind one another, some moving to the west and some to the southwest, the three left regiments came under attack from a battery located on a hill to their left rear. Adams' Confederate brigade had advanced to the Northwest during and after the midday artillery exchange, became confused about the Federal position, and did not realize that they were attacking their own men.As McCook's Union 1st Corps experienced fierce fighting and heavy losses, the recently promoted Gilbert continued to give orders to his 3rd Corps officers not to waste artillery ammunition or to advance their men and engage the enemy. Occupied late in the afternoon by an attack from Confederate Colonel Samuel Powell of Major General J. Patton Anderson's division, Gilbert did not provide troops to support McCook's harrowed men. Brigadier General James S. Jackson, commanding the Union Army's 10th Division was hit twice and died shortly before 1:00 pm. Within the next several hours both of Jackson's brigade commanders (Brig. Gen. William R. Terrill and Col. George Webster) were killed and by the end of the day Colonel Albert S. Hall, who started the day in command of the 108th Ohio Regiment, was now in command of the division. http://www.thoughts.com/reynolds/blog/louis-j-sheehan--16380 Louis J SheehanLouis J.

SheehanThroughout the morning and more than half of the afternoon, Buell was shielded from the sound of the fighting by an acoustic shadow, caused by the hilly terrain. He was unaware that his men were engaged in a major battle until he finally learned it from a messenger sent by McCook requesting support from Gilbert's 3rd Corps.About 5:30 pm, having captured and recaptured Union Colonel John C. Starkweather's Hill, Cheatham's Confederate division finally fell back to the Open Knob as the Union line settled at the Dixville Crossroads. A last attack by Confederate Brigadier General St. John R. Liddell pushed the Union forces back along the Mackville Road until, at last, Union Brigadier General James Steedman arrived from the 3rd Corps in support of McCook, and the attack was halted by the fall of darkness. (Thomas L. Breiner, The Battle of Perryville, The Battle of Perryville, Kentucky [3])Union casualties totalled 4,211 men: 845 dead; 2,851 wounded; 515 captured or missing. Confederate casualties were fewer at 3,396: 510 dead; 2,635 wounded; 251 captured or missing. [edit]AftermathThe Confederate forces held their ground until Bragg, finally realizing that the main body of the Union army was in the area, gave the order around midnight to retreat. Buell did not know his opponent had abandoned the field until Crittendon's 2nd Corps moved into Perryville at 10:30 the next morning. He did not begin to follow after them until the following day, October 10. Bragg united his forces with Smith's at Harrodsburg, and the Union and Confederate armies, now of comparable size, skirmished with one another over the next week or so, but neither attacked.Bragg soon realized that the sources of help he had hoped for (Robert E. Lee from Virginia, Earl Van Dorn and Sterling Price from Mississippi, and new recruits from Kentucky) would not materialize, and he made his way southeast to Knoxville, Tennessee. He was quickly called to the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia, to explain to Jefferson Davis the charges brought by his officers about how he had conducted his campaign.Buell called off his "pursuit" of Bragg and returned to Nashville. On October 24, a change of command structure in the Union army relieved him of his duties and more or less ended his career. (Thomas L. Breiner, The Retreat After The Battle of Perryville, The Battle of Perryville, Kentucky [4])http://www.blogomonster.com/blogs/louis_j_sheehan/index.php/2007/10/08/p12103 Louis J SheehanLouis J. Sheehan http://louis1j1sheehan10907.blogsavy.com/ The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 18 to September 20, 1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in south-central Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.The battle was fought between the Union Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg, and was named for the (now South) Chickamauga Creek, which flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga. Chickamauga was a local Indian word meaning "Stagnant River" or, less accurately, "River of Death," usage that may have begun after the battle. Louis J SheehanLouis J. Sheehan http://forum.greenpeace.org/int/showthread.php?t=3037 Louis J SheehanLouis J. Sheehan Perryville's homes and farms were left in shambles by the battle. Henry P. Bottom, a prominent secessionist on whose farm a significant portion of the battle was fought, suffered losses of pork, corn, hay and wood to Union soldiers who remained in the area for weeks after the fighting. The main force of the Union army had buried most of their dead in long trenches before pursuing Bragg, but most of the Confederate dead were still unburied a week after the battle. Union soldiers finally forced local residents to help them lay the dead in shallow trenches carved in the dry soil. Two months later, 347 were re-buried in a mass grave on Bottom's land.At the end of the war in 1865, Union soldiers reburied the remains of 969 Federal dead in a national cemetery at Perryville with a stone wall, two gates and plans for a monument. The monument was never erected, however, and in 1867 the new cemetery was closed and the Federal dead transferred to Camp Nelson in Jessamine County, Kentucky, leaving no identified Federal dead on the field at Perryville.On the fortieth anniversary of the battle in 1902, a Confederate monument was dedicated in the Confederate cemetery begun by Henry Bottom at the center of the field, and a smaller Federal memorial was erected nearby in 1931. The Perryville State Battlefield site was established in 1954 by the Kentucky State Conservation Commission, and a museum and visitor's center were opened near the monuments on the battle's one hundredth anniversary in 1962.For a century following the war, the memory of the Battle of Perryville (and many others fought in the Western Theater) was minimized by what has been called the "Lee tradition," which emphasized the deeds of the armies and generals who fought in the Eastern Theater, particularly Virginia. Around the time of the war's centennial, however, numerous scholars worked to establish the importance of the Western campaigns. In recent years, appreciation for what happened at Perryville and other battlefields in Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi has grown.More than 7,000 acres (28 km²) at Perryville are now recognized as a National Historic Landmark, and the site averages around 100,000 visitors per year. A reenactment of the battle occurs each October. The Perryville Battlefield Preservation Association was created in 1991 to preserve, enlarge and protect the park. The acquisition of 149 acres (0.6 km²) of farmland from a descendant of Henry Bottom more than doubled the size of the park and allowed visitors to complete a tour of the entire battlefield. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5141546 http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1441869 http://www.thoughts.com/index.php?_action=blog_view&id=19137&type=1 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5141546 XXXXXXXXXXXXX The Battle of Perryville, also known as Battle at Perryville and Battle of Chaplin Hills, was an important but largely neglected encounter in the American Civil War. It was fought on October 8, 1862, in the Chaplin Hills west of Perryville, Kentucky. The battle began with a middle-of-the-night skirmish over a source of drinking water, and ended more or less by default with the onset of darkness and the retreat of the tactical victor, the Confederates. The Confederate "victory" marked the end of their offensive campaign in the West, and their retreat left the border state of Kentucky under the control of the Union Army for the rest of the war.

JARED DIAMOND: Of course we are in overshoot and everybody knows that we are in overshoot -- and we are overshooting the things that people talk most about. First thing we're running out of is oil, and everybody knows it. Second thing we're running out of is water. Something like 70 percent of the fresh water in the world is already utilized. Topsoil -- we're exploiting it and it's running off into the ocean. We've already exhausted something like maybe half of the topsoil that was originally in the Great Plains. And then fish and forests...
RYSSDAL: Is the rate of use increasing? Are things getting worse more quickly than they did 20 years ago?
DIAMOND: Yes, things are getting worse more quickly, for obvious reasons -- namely,

the human population is increasing, and worse yet, average consumption rates are increasing. That's to say, out of the world's six-and-a-half-billion people, the majority are in the so-called Third World, but they are working hard to catch up.
