Thaksin's assets not frozen: Thai central bank governor
Bank of Thailand Governor MR Pridiyathorn Devakula Wednesday played down the speculation that the authorities had seized the assets of the cabinet's members of the ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra by freezing the international fund transfer.
"If the sum is less than 10 million U.S. dollars in a year, the transaction can be done without the central bank's approval," he was quoted by Bangkok-based The Nation news website.
Asked if the authorities freezes the sum worth 73 billion baht (1.97 billion U.S. dollars) that Thaksin and his family earned from selling Shin Corp empire to Temasek Holdings of Singapore, Pridiyathorn said it was not true. He said, "There have not been any freeze of assets because they have not [yet] been deemed criminals."
The BOT chief, returning to Bangkok Wednesday from attending the annual meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Singapore, has denied a romor that he was approached to be the interim prime minister by the Administrative Reform Council, a group of top military brass who staged a bloodless coup d'etat against the Thaksin government Tuesday night.
"I didn't know that I was nominated as a candidate," Pridiyathorn said. "No one has telephoned me to discuss the matter. Only my wife called to tell me what had happened here (in Bangkok), " the Thai News Agency quoted him as saying earlier the day.
The BOT chief said he followed news on the coup via CNN news network and felt good to see it was staged without violence and bloodshed.
It seemed to be a political change that the people have accepted, he said, since he saw people taking photos of soldiers in different spots. He believed the incident would not have negative impact on investment because foreign investors did not witness any violence.
Thai currency baht plunged to 37.90 from 37.20 to the U.S. dollar in morning trade. Pridiyathorn explained that the currency had weakened in the short run in the New York trade.
Once the Asian market began trading, exporters sold out the dollar, making the baht appreciate to 37.68 to the dollar in the afternoon. He insisted the central bank had not intervened in influencing the baht value.

CNPP slams Fayose for 'diverting' pensioners' funds
•Commissioner: it's not true
The Ekiti State Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has expressed shock at alleged diversion of funds meant to pay pensioners and workers by the Ayo Fayose administration.
Reacting to a report by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which indicted the Fayose government for allegedly diverting N680 million bailout fund, the CNPP described the alleged diversion as "callous and greedy".
But Commissioner for Information Lanre Ogunsuyi dismissed the allegation, saying it was a "figment of imagination of those peddling it".
He described the Fayose administration as "the most transparent in the history of Ekiti."
A statement yesterday in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, by CNPP's Director of Publicity, Kunle Omotayo, said 16 political parties in the state met and regretted that pensioners and workers were owed several arrears after the state had received intervention funds from the Federal Government.
The statement said: "For the first time in the history of Ekiti State, workers have turned petty thieves, stealing pots of soup and some stealing farm produce to stay alive, while several others have become beggars before they can make ends meet…"
Ogunsuyi challenged any person or group with evidence of the alleged diversion to come out with same or forever keep silent.
He said: "I sympathise with those celebrating what the EFCC has done; it is quite unfortunate. Ekiti is in a difficult financial situation because of the repayment of loans obtained by Fayemi administration. We have repaid N40 billion in the last 36 months, deducted at N1.2 billion per month.
"The allegations of treasury looting and financial mismanagement being peddled by some mischievous individuals and groups only exist in their imagination. Let them bring concrete evidence or keep silent forever."

Soon to end 2016 showed great leaks in Cyber Security. From famous Celebrities like Rahul Gandhi, Vijay Mallya and so one to Fortune 500 companies, 2016 Clearly Showed no one is safe from highly sophisticated Hackers. We are regularly being under surveillance and are prone to attacks. It's getting tougher by each day to keep our sensitive information safe. Traveling towards the final weeks of 2016, let's follow in the past year to see what we can learn from previous breaches and how we can change our behavior to avoid being a victim unbelievable next security breach.
Must Read: Join EHC in Fight Against Cyber Crime.
One of the largest data breaches in recent history where Yahoo! lost 500 million usernames, passwords, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and even security questions that were eventually linked back to a hack that occurred in 2014. The company claimed they were slow to report the breaches because they were unsure of who was responsible. They urged all users to change their passwords immediately.
Must Read: Sponsor EHC and Support Fight Against Cyber Crime.
At the end of February this year, one of the most popular messaging apps revealed that data of some of its current and past employees had been compromised. The scammer was able to obtain some of the data by pretending to be the company's CEO, Evan Spiegel in an email requesting payroll information. Snapchat claimed it took action within four hours and reported the incident to the FBI. The takeaway: While the good news is that Snapchat's user data was safe, this incident proves that even the hottest, most tech savvy companies are vulnerable to data breaches. Educate employees on how to detect potential phishing scams with training, reference materials on the intranet, or even through fake phishing tests.
Must Read: Top 10 Internet Security Tips.
Originally the hack occurred in 2012, it again hit LinkedIn this summer when news broke that hackers were selling login credentials of 117 million LinkedIn users, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, on the black market. To make matters worse, the breach highlighted the company's lack of transparency on what level of security they even offered. Back in 2012 when the data was originally stolen, it's unclear what level of encryption LinkedIn applied to passwords, which creates a lot of uncertainty around how this breach actually occurred. EHC TIPS: Sometimes changing your password isn't enough. Users should turn on two-factor authentication when possible. This added layer of security sends a notification to your phone each time your account is logged into from a new device.
So what have we learned from these breaches? How can we best prepare ourselves for the potential threats that 2017 holds?
If these breaches taught us anything, it's that every individual and every company is at risk. Hackers are getting more smarter. Every individual needs to take security more seriously. Everyone should be educated on best password practices, require the use of a password manager, and set up two-step authentication wherever possible.
The biggest lesson from the great breaches of 2016 is that every-single@password matters; don't be lazy. Make each password freakish and you'll be much secure from being a victim to a breach in the future.

Q: Element-wise vector mutiplication What would be a faster (in terms of time required by the code) alternative to the following method for multiplication of two n element integer vectors:
{
// code for obtaining two n element int vectors, a and b
}
int temp = 0;  // a temporary variable
for (int ii = 0; ii < n; ++ii)
    temp += a[ii]*b[ii];

Edit:
Received several nice ideas. I would have to check each one to see which one is the best. Surely each of the responses tell me something new.

A: The only way I can see to make this faster in C++ is to fix the "loop carried dependency", which means that each iteration has to wait until the previous temp value is available for the  sum.  This can be accomplished by unrolling and using several accumulation variables:
int t0=0, t1=0, t2=0, t3=0;
for (int ii = 0; ii < n; ii += 4) {
    t0 += a[ii]*b[ii];
    t1 += a[ii+1]*b[ii+1];
    t2 += a[ii+2]*b[ii+2];
    t3 += a[ii+3]*b[ii+3];
}
int temp = t0 + t1 + t2 + t3;

Modern processors can execute multiple operations per cycle, but only if there's no dependency in the way.  On my system, this yields a roughly 20% improvement.  Note: n has to be a multiple of 4, or you need to add a loop "epilog" that finishes the elements left over.    Test and measure!  I have no idea if 4 is the "correct" amount of unrolling.
You can get much more improvement by calling processor-specific SIMD intrinsics, but that's not standard C++.

A: Just use the C++ Standard Library:
#include<algorithm>
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>

int main() {
  std::vector<double> x = {1, 2, 3};
  std::vector<double> y = {4, 5, 6};
  double xy = std::inner_product(x.begin(), x.end(), y.begin(), 0);
  std::cout<<"inner product: "<<xy<<std::endl;

  return 0;

}

Edit: added timing information.
Just out of curiosity I added the following timing information.
The source code:
#include<algorithm>
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<random>
#include<boost/timer/timer.hpp>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  // get the desired number of elements
  if(argc!=2) {
    std::cerr<<"usage: "<<argv[0]<<" N"<<std::endl;
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
  }

  int N = std::stoi(argv[1]);

  // set-up the random number generator
  std::random_device rd;
  std::mt19937 gen(rd());
  std::uniform_real_distribution<> dis(-100, 100);

  // prepare the vectors
  std::vector<double> x, y;

  // fill the vectors with random numbers
  auto rgen = [&dis, &gen]() { return dis(gen); };
  std::generate_n(std::back_inserter(x), N, rgen);
  std::generate_n(std::back_inserter(y), N, rgen);

  // Heat-up the cache (try commenting-out this line and you'll see
  // that the time increases for whatever algorithm you put firts)
  double xy = std::inner_product(x.begin(), x.end(), y.begin(), 0.0);
  std::cout<<"heated-up value: "<<xy<<std::endl;

  { // start of new timing scope
    // write a message to the assembly source
    boost::timer::auto_cpu_timer t;
    asm("##### START OF ALGORITHMIC APPROACH #####");
    double xy = std::inner_product(x.begin(), x.end(), y.begin(), 0.0);
    asm("##### END OF ALGORITHMIC APPROACH #####");
    std::cout<<"algorithmic value: "<<xy<<std::endl<<"timing info: ";
  } // end of timing scope

  { // start of new timing scope
    // write a message to the assembly source
    boost::timer::auto_cpu_timer t;
    asm("##### START OF HAND-CODED APPROACH #####");
    double tmp = 0.0;
    for(int k=0; k<N; k++) {
      tmp += x[k] * y[k];
    }
    asm("##### END OF HAND-CODED APPROACH #####");
    std::cout<<"hand-coded value: "<<tmp<<std::endl<<"timing info: ";
  } // end of timing scope

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

timing info:  0.264346s wall, 0.260000s user + 0.000000s system = 0.260000s CPU (98.4%)

So, the speed advantage of using the hand-coded approach seems to matter only if you use smaller arrays. Past the 10,000 mark, I would consider their run time identical, but I prefer the algorithmic approach because it is simpler to write and maintain, and it may benefit from updates to the library.
As usual, this timing info should be taken with a grain of salt.

A: #include <valarray>

int main() {
  std::valarray<int> a {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
  std::valarray<int> b {3, 4, 5, 6, 7};

  auto c = (a * b).sum();
}

valarray can use SIMD and other vector instructions, although it seems to be regularly neglected in common implementations.

A: Quick answer: That's probably the fastest solution.
Long Answer: there are two definitions of fast.
If you're looking a quick and uncomplicated solution the above code should suit well.
If you're looking for a fast running code, I don't know if reimplementing the for-loop with a while-loop or using libraries/packages will help.
Good Luck!

Richard Francis Beebe
Richard Francis Beebe, born in Santa Monica, California, on February 26, 1958, to a racing family who has helped build and influence the sport of oval track racing across the country. Rick moved to Michigan in 1962, and currently resides in Grand Junction, Michigan with his wife Barbara A. Beebe. Rick has two sons, Ricky Beebe Jr. (28), who resides in Missouri and Chance Beebe, (21) who resides in Portage, Michigan. At the age of 4 Rick began traveling with his father, Dick Beebe, to various race shops hand lettering race cars, although not yet lettering cars at the young age of 4, he was already learning and assisting in many ways which led to Rick eventually taking over Beebe Signs.
Beebe Signs was instrumental in introducing vinyl lettering into the market. Vinyl lettering was introduced due to the high demand of re lettering of NASCAR and the growing racing industry. Lettering needed to be done quickly, yet retain high quality, by creating vinyl in the shop and shipping to race shops around the country made getting the cars race ready over night possible. Beebe Signs was able to letter over 250 race cars in one season, and numerous track champions carried the Beebe Signs logo including Richard Petty among others. Rick also worked in the family racing news paper, Marc Times Racing News.
Rick began Flagging at the age of 14, as did his Father, carrying on a family tradition Rick's sons also flagged their first race at the age of 14. Rick became the Head Starter/Flagman at Hartford Motor Speedway at the age of 16. By the age of 18 Rick became the Head Starter/Flagman at Kalamazoo Speedway on Saturday nights and remained the Head Starter/Flagman at Hartford Motor Speedway on Friday nights. Rick worked 3 to 5 nights per week Flagging at. Various tracks around Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and Canada. Rick has flagged for every sanctioning body in the racing industry, most successful Drivers have found themselves under Rick's flags.
Rick is still currently Head Starter/Flagman for Kalamazoo Speedway and M40 Speedway. Rick is still requested by many racing facilities to Officiate special events and flag when time allows.
Rick has worked in every aspect of racing from owning and running Dealers Choice, to pit steward, mowing, inspection, timing, scoring, announcing to maintenance. Dealer Choice founded by the Beebe family was the first largest 3 day racing event held. Rick has been a board member of a charity called, Race for Kids Sake, he has been Master of Ceremonies for racing banquets for numerous tracks.
Rick's grandfather Paul Beebe Sr., his father Dick Beebe and his mother Patricia Beebe, have all been inducted in to the Michigan Motor Sports Hall of Fame, with Patricia Beebe being one of the first women ever inducted.
Rick Beebe is starting his 44th year in the flag stand in 2016 as Head Starter/Flagman at Kalamazoo Speedway on Friday nights, and at M-40 Speedway on Saturday nights. Rick is well respected and sought after in the racing industry. Most drivers will say they feel comfortable with his watchful eye looking after their safety on the track, if anyone had a six sense on the track, Rick seems too. Rick has a professionalism when in the Flag stand that compares to nothing out there, whether you are one of his closest friend or a new racer he just met at the drivers meeting, you are equal once you hit the track, your car has no number or color. Your safety is what matters, then their is fairness, so it makes no difference whether you are last years track champion or the new guy running for rookie of the year, you are important to Rick Beebe!
Rick Beebe is known at Kalamazoo Speedway for bringing children into the flag stand to waive their first flag, to give them an experience of a lifetime. Rick has been security when an incident breaks out in the stands or when a driver or spectator gets hurt. Rick spends his time after the racing event helping people out of the stands into the pits to see their favorite driver until the last one is down the stairs, he discusses issues with drivers and makes peace, promotes the tracks and rules in a positive light on social media.
The racing industry is blessed to have Rick Beebe involved in this sport!


In Pont-Scorff, a town in the French department of Morbihan with less than 3,700 inhabitants, steeped in the tranquillity of the local countryside whose temperate climate means mild average temperatures all year round. The nearest shops and amenities are but a few minutes away. It is 20 minutes from Lorient train station and just 10 minutes from the main road.
This property, on the edge of a forest on the east side and surrounded by farmland, comes into view along a little road, used solely by local residents. A lane leads to the traditional, long farmhouse, to a bread oven and to vestiges of an outbuilding.
This traditional long farmhouse is constructed from local quarry stone blocks, topped with a slate roof. It spans approx. 255 m² of living space over two levels. Facing south-south-east, it is pleasantly bright. A lean-to adjoins its east gable.
The ground floor, spanning more than 170 m², is divided into two separate but communicating sections. The first comprises a living room, with a fireplace, a corridor leading to a kitchen, a bedroom, a laundry room, a bathroom and a toilet. The second section includes a living room, with a fireplace, a corridor leading to a kitchen, a study, a bathroom, a toilet as well as a little storage room. Extending on the east side is a workshop-cellar, spanning approx. 45 m², which has conversion potential.
This level, reached via two stairways, is laid out in the attic space. Spanning approx. 85 m², it comprises four bedrooms, a corridor, a bathroom and a toilet on one side. The other side has two bedrooms, a storage room that could be converted as well as an area above the workshop.
This is a genuine traditional, long farmhouse with all the character of this type of construction: fifty metres of stone topped with a slate roof featuring four gables. Upstairs, it is possible to see the superb, exposed roofing framework. Giving free rein to new owners to create private areas for family or friends, this house could easily be divided into two. It is also in need of a little attention.

Welcome to "The Spreading Flame" tour – visiting intriguing sites in Greece, Turkey and Rome that make the story of the Early Church come alive as we visit and explore many of the places which are familiar names from reading the New Testament.
This innovative tour is led by Revd Mike Fuller – international Bible teacher, retired Baptist minister and teacher of Religious Studies and Philosophy; New Wine speaker; and Tutor in Theology at Trinity Church, Cheltenham.
Mike is an experienced pilgrimage tour leader, and author of the acclaimed "Entire Story of the Bible in Fifty Minutes" teaching material, and " A Fool's Guide to the Land of the Book".
Our tour will include professional explanations of the various archaeological sites; Bible readings and spiritual reflections; and worship together.
Our direct morning flight from London Gatwick takes us to Thessaloniki, where we will be met by our local agent and continue by coach to the ancient port of Kavala – where Paul first arrived to bring the Good News of Jesus to Europe.
After dinner at our hotel, the evening is free to explore the nearby port area.
We start the day with a short introduction to the Spreading Flame of the Christian Church in the first century. We then walk into Philippi following the ancient Roman Road, the Via Egnatia – as Paul would have done. We view the ancient Agora (where Paul brought freedom to the demonised slave girl); the site associated with Paul's subsequent imprisonment; and the chapel commemorating Lydia's baptism. After worship together at the riverside of the ancient city of Philippi, we take an afternoon local flight to Athens – where, after dinner, the evening is free.
We see ancient Athens, including the Acropolis; the museum of the Acropolis; and the "Areopagus" – the location of Paul's address to the philosophers of the city. The latter afternoon is free; in the evening, there will be an optional brief talk on philosophy in the ancient world, and its connections to Christian faith.
Leaving our hotel, we drive to the ancient city of Corinth (pausing to see the modern Corinth Canal). In Corinth (where Paul lived for 18 months) we see evidence of the synagogue of the time; the "Bema" before which Paul was questioned; the streets where Paul worked as a Tentmaker; and the Acrocorinth, where a Temple overlooking the city had reputedly been a centre for ritual prostitution (which may help us to understand some of the issues in the Corinthian church). We visit the ruins of Cenchrae (the port from which Paul sailed to Ephesus) – where, recalling Phoebe, we reflect on women leaders in the Early Church. In the evening, we take a ferry to Patmos, arriving there in the early morning to our new hotel (there are good restaurants on the ferry, but this evening meal is not included).
After a lie-in and a late breakfast, we visit the cave associated with the Revelation of John, and the Monastery of St John.
Leaving Patmos on our own small chartered ferry, we cross to Kusadasi (in Turkey). We meet our new local guide, who will show us the ancient city of Ephesus (where Paul stayed for three years, and from which he wrote to the Corinthians). We see the extensive archaeological site, including the Library of Celsus, homes from the Roman period, and the amphitheatre where Paul encountered opposition from those who made representations of the goddess Artemis. Ephesus is the first of the seven churches written to in the book of Revelation, and our reflections will include the message of the Risen Jesus to each.
We then visit the possible last home of Mary, the mother of Jesus, close to the city; and we drive to our new hotel in Pamukkale (near ancient Hierapolis).
Today, we see the cities of three more of the churches of Revelation. Following a brief visit to the World Heritage site of Pammukale, we see the extensive ruins of Laodicaea, including the aqueducts which may reflect the accusation of the church being "lukewarm". In "faithful" Philadelphia, we see the Acropolis, and consider how the history of the city is reflected in the words of Jesus. At the site of the ancient wealthy and militarily impregnable - but "lifeless" - Sardis, we reflect on the links between the city's industries and idolatry, and the words of the Risen Jesus – viewing ruins from both Bible times and the Byzantine era. We continue to Izmir (ancient Smyrna), to our next hotel.
We start the day with a visit to the ancient site of Smyrna, where we consider the sufferings facing this church of Revelation – and the martyrdom of Polycarp, a second-century Bishop here. We continue to the airport for our flight to Rome, where we will be escorted to our new hotel.
Our new guide introduces us to Rome. We walk through the ancient Forum, and see the Mamertine Prison (where both Paul, and also Peter, were imprisoned). We visit the Colosseum, and see the Titus Arch (celebrating the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE).
In the afternoon, we visit the Capuchin Crypt – an intriguing reminder of human mortality! – and enjoy Sunday worship together.
In the morning we visit St Peter's (the Vatican), recalling Peter's martyrdom, and seeing the Vatican Museum (including the Sistine Chapel). During the afternoon, we visit the Church of the Basilica (which claims to hold a fragment of the True Cross, thorns from the crown of thorns, and St Thomas's finger); see a church reputedly marking the site of Paul's burial (the Basilica of St Paul's outside-the-walls); and explore the Catacombs, just outside the city - where we will finish our tour with worship, and prayer for those suffering today for their faith.
We travel to the airport for our flight back to London Gatwick.
Travellers are responsible for ensuring that they have a valid passport for travel to the relevant countries and that it is valid for at least 6 months after the date of travel. A visa is required for British Passport holders visiting Turkey, but not for Greece or Italy. Details of how to obtain this will be sent with your final invoice. At the time this brochure went to press no vaccinations or inoculations are required for travel but you may wish to consult your own doctor for advice concerning this. If you have any queries regarding the above, we will be happy to help.


Check-Out is 11 am. It is difficult for us to accommodate late check-outs as we have very few of each room type and the maids have to get the room ready for the next guests. Because of this late check-outs are discouraged and may be charged a fee. People who need to stay a little longer are welcome to spend time in our dining room. It has wifi, bathrooms and coffee/tea/hot chocolate to enjoy while you wait.
There is a minimum of a $25 fee for all canceled reservations. If you cancel your reservation more than 5 days in advance of your stay only a $25 fee will be applied, the remainder of your deposit will be credited to the credit card on file. Reservations that are canceled less than five days before the reservation begins will be charged the full deposit. There is no fee for modifying a reservation more than 5 days before you arrive, there may be a fee for changing a reservation less than 5 days before the reservation begins. Please call us to cancel or change your reservation (207) 882-7137.
Hotels without a cancellation fee have up to a 38% cancellation rate. This works for large chains with only two room types and the ability to overbook, but would be devastating to us. Because our lodge was built and remodeled over the course of 100 years, we have 13 room types. All of our room types have four or fewer rooms. We cannot overbook or easily switch people between rooms. If a room is booked it is taken and not available to anyone else. If someone cancels later we could lose not only that room night but the nights before and after as people wanting longer stays won't book if even one room night is unavailable during their visit. Over half our guests plan their stay weeks in advance, so even a five night notice is often not enough to rebook lost rooms. A cancelation fee ensures that guests are serious about keeping their reservation and compensates us for lost income in the event of a cancelation.
Pets are allowed only in designated pet friendly rooms. Pets are also allowed in the lobby but not in the dining room. Guests may have up to 3 pets, there is a $10 fee/pet/day. There are no size or breed restrictions but pets must be well behaved. Pets are allowed at the picnic tables, on the trail, and at other outdoor spaces as long as they are on a leash and under control at all times. Pet waste must be picked up immediately, pet waste bags and garbage cans are provided for guest use. Pets are not allowed in the dining area or in any room that is not designated pet friendly. There is a $250 restoration fee if pets are brought into non-pet friendly areas without prior permission. Pets may be left in our rooms but maids will not enter rooms when owners are not present. We offer maid service from 9 am to 2 pm and are happy to work with you to try to find a time that works. We can provide contact information for pet day care centers to keep your pet active and happy while you are away. Owners are responsible for pet related damage above normal wear and tear.
Smoking is not allowed within 20 feet of any of our buildings. No smoking is allowed in the rooms or on the porches. We have picnic tables and Adirondack chairs spread throughout the property at distances more than 20 feet from the buildings. Please feel free to smoke in those locations. We ask that you dispose of your butts in the metal cans located on the grounds rather than in your room. There is a minimum of $250 restoration fee for smoking inside buildings.

So How Much Snow Did We Actually Get?
If you live in New York City, this blizzard was kind of a dud. Parts of Long Island received the brunt of the storm and the majority of the snowfall, but the five boroughs didn't even manage to accumulate a foot. So how much snow did we actually get? Wellll, way less than expected.
On the bright side, you can totally resume ordering Seamless without feeling guilty.

Allergies, obesity, asthma, diabetes, auto-immune and intestinal disorders are all on the rise, with the incidence of some diseases doubling every ten years. New research points to changes in the ecosystem of microbes that live on and inside every one of us -- our microbiomes - as a major cause. But how could one's gut microbes increase the odds of developing conditions as radically different as asthma and diabetes?
Hosted by Good Morning America's Becky Worley, and based on the book of the same name by B. Brett Finlay, PhD and Marie-Claire Arrieta, PhD, LET THEM EAT DIRT features families, doctors, and researchers who are sleuthing out what's harming our microbes - and what we can do to reverse this dangerous trend.

From Manassas to Appomattox: General James Longstreet
According to some, he was partially to blame for the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg; according to others, if Lee had followed Longstreet's advice, they would have won that battle. He has been called stubborn and vain; and he has been lauded as one of the greatest tacticians of the Civil War
After the Tullahoma Campaign, Rosecrans renewed his offensive, aiming to force the Confederates out of Chattanooga. The three army corps comprising Rosecrans' s army split and set out for Chattanooga by separate routes. In early September, Rosecrans consolidated his forces scattered in Tennessee and Georgia and forced Bragg's army out of Chattanooga, heading south.
The Union troops followed it and brushed with it at Davis' Cross Roads. Bragg was determined to reoccupy Chattanooga and decided to meet a part of Rosecrans's army, defeat them, and then move back into the city. On the 17th he headed north, intending to meet and beat the XXI Army Corps. As Bragg marched north on the 18th, his cavalry and infantry fought with Union cavalry and mounted infantry which were armed with Spencer repeating rifles.
Fighting began in earnest on the morning of the 19th, and Bragg's men hammered but did not break the Union line. The next day, Bragg continued his assault on the Union line on the left, and in late morning, Rosecrans was informed that he had a gap in his line. In moving units to shore up the supposed gap, Rosencrans created one, and James Longstreet's men promptly exploited it, driving one-third of the Union army, including Rosecrans himself, from the field.
George H. Thomas took over command and began consolidating forces on Horseshoe Ridge and Snodgrass Hill. Although the Rebels launched determined assaults on these forces, they held until after dark. Thomas then led these men from the field leaving it to the Confederates.
The Union retired to Chattanooga while the Rebels occupied the surrounding heights.

The March to the Sea and Beyond: Sherman's Troops in the Savannah and Carolinas Campaigns
This book contains an examination of the army that General William Tecumseh Sherman led through Georgia and the Carolinas, in late 1864 and early 1865. Instead of being just another narrative of the March to the Sea and Carolina campaigns, however, Glatthaar's book is a look at the individuals that composed the army. In it, he examines the social and ideological backgrounds of the men in Sherman's army, and evaluates how they felt about various factors of the war--slavery, the union, and, most significantly, the campaign in which they were participating. The result is a fascinating look at Sherman's campaigns through the eyes of the everyday soldier. Amazon Reviewer
Sherman Invades Georgia: Planning the North Georgia Campaign Using a Modern Perspective
Sherman Invades Georgia takes advantage of modern planning techniques to fully examine what went into the Georgia campaign. Unlike other studies, though, this one puts the reader squarely into the mind of General Sherman on the eve of his most famous military undertaking—limiting the information to that possessed by Sherman at the time, as documented in his correspondence during the campaign and not in his after-the-fact reports and autobiography.
The White Tecumseh: A Biography of General William T. Sherman
Utilizing regimental histories, historian Hirshon offers a sympathetic yet excellent biography of one of the more noted Civil War generals, best remembered for burning Atlanta, cutting a swath of destruction across Georgia, then creating total destruction in South Carolina, including the burning of Columbia. Hirshon gives us an insight into how Sherman's own troops felt about him and his relationships with fellow generals, especially Grant. The author not only describes Sherman's role in the war but also details his early life and family problems. The latter part of the book deals with his life after the war, especially with the Indians in the West as well as his relationships with Presidents Johnson and Grant.
Atlanta (Voices of the Civil War)

The books are full of eyewitness accounts of battle, camp life, campaigning, and camraderie with some humor thrown in. Each book gives accounts by the soldiers themselves, and that's what makes these books so great! The books also have battle maps are divided into sections. Each section tells about a part in the campaign. At the begining of each section there is an introduction to the campaign.
The Chickamauga and Chattanooga Campaign
Six Armies in Tennessee
From Kirkus Reviews
A narrative history of crucial Civil War operations in the West after Grant's great victories at Vicksburg and Fort Donaldson in July 1863. Woodworth (History/Texas Christian Univ.) traces how several bloody campaigns, marked by serious blunders on both sides, helped seal the Confederacy's fate. The Union Army of the Cumberland, under the command of General William S. Rosecrans, a neurotic, slow-moving perfectionist, were under orders to seize Chattanooga, a city important both because it served as a Confederate rail center (and the area around it was a breadbasket for Confederate forces) and because it guarded the path to Atlanta and the deep South. Opposing Rosecrans was Braxton Bragg, in charge of the Army of Tennessee. Bragg was particularly unpopular, and his command was frequently hamstrung by dissension. The opposing armies, maneuvering in an immense mountainous and forested area, were intermittently crippled by a lack of intelligence and by the difficulty of moving large numbers of troops over inhospitable terrain. Woodworth offers some convincing portraits of Rosecrans, Bragg, and their officers, and catches with great clarity the nature of the deadly chess game the armies were engaged in. Rosecrans's errors led to a Union defeat at Chickamauga, costly for both sides, after which both armies were reinforced. General Longstreet joined Bragg, bringing elements of the Army of Northern Virginia, and deepening the professional jealousy that kept threatening to dissipate Confederate successes. Union forces were bolstered by the arrival of the armies of Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan, all talented, aggressive fighters. Pressured by Lincoln, the Union forces finally captured Chattanooga, inflicting another humiliating setback on the Confederates and opening up the path for Sherman's march to Atlanta and the sea. A fine analysis of strategic and tactical operations, stressing the influence of commanders on the success, or failure, of their armies, while not losing sight of the grim experience of war for frontline troops

The Social Democrats in Berlin have held on to power in the regional government, while the Free Democrats failed to gain representation at all. Instead, Berlin welcomes the Pirate Party to parliament.
Although the incumbent Social Democrats (SPD) have won the regional elections in Berlin, their two-term governing partner - the socialist Left Party - has been voted out of government, raising the prospect that the SPD could reach out to the Greens to form a new coalition.
Results show the SPD bringing in 28.3 percent of the vote in the country's capital, which is also one of Germany's 16 states. This represents a slight drop in the SPD's popularity from the previous election in 2006.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's party, the Christian Democrats (CDU), improved by about 2.1 percent on their last showing in 2006 but still came in second to the SPD, who polled 23.4 percent. It is the sixth of seven regional votes that the ruling party in the national government has faced electoral setbacks in this year.
The chancellor's coalition partner, the Free Democrats (FDP), polled even worse and failed to bring in the required 5 percent of votes needed to be represented in the state government. The business-friendly party polled just 1.8 percent, making it the fifth time this year that the FDP has failed to enter a state parliament. In the previous election, the FDP won 7.6 percent of the vote.
The Pirate Party, however, did clear the 5-percent hurdle and will be represented for the first time in a state parliament in Germany. The Pirate Party, which campaigns for copyright reform, free wireless Internet service and free public transport, brought in 8.9 percent of the vote.
"This is all very new for us," said Andreas Baum, the party's top candidate, on German public television after the election. "We will need to prepare, get into the swing of things, but you will be hearing from us. You can be sure of that."
Turnout was at just over 60 percent of Berlin's approximately 2.5 million eligible voters, an increase of about one percent since 2006.
The success of the SPD means that Berlin's mayor, Klaus Wowereit, will remain in office for a third term.
Wowereit, who became the first openly gay leader of a German state in 2001, is known for his popular touch and distinctive Berlin accent.
He has ruled in alliance with the Left Party for 10 years but could switch allegiance to the Greens, who made gains of 4.5 percent and polled 17.6 percent. The Left Party secured 11.7 percent of the vote. A coalition with the CDU would also be possible.
Wowereit indirectly laid out conditions for a partnership with the Greens on Sunday evening, saying it was "important that they come out in favor of politics that favor development, progress, and change rather than a stalemate."
The victory could boost Wowereit's credentials within the SPD and even make him a contender for the SPD's candidate for the chancellery in 2013.

College of Nursing Donation Drive Collects Sporting, Art Equipment for SHAPE Community Center Effort Inspired by UH Third Ward Initiative
The University of Houston College of Nursing, along with members of its nursing honor society, the Phi Chi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, were inspired by the University of Houston's Third Ward Initiative to embark on a donation drive for the S.H.A.P.E. Community Center.
The goal of the UH Third Ward Initiative is to partner and collaborate with the Third Ward to transform schools, businesses and health care resources.
"As members of Sigma Theta Tau International, Phi Chi Chapter, we place high value on our mission of philanthropy, and incorporate it in all that we do," said Lee Anne Lightfoot, assistant clinical professor at the college. "To honor this mission we collected needed items for this important Houston center."
It was an effort not even a hurricane could delay.
In the spring, the college's faculty toured the Third Ward and the S.H.A.P.E. Community Center where they met Deloyd Parker, co-founder and executive director. He showed them the Center's After School Enrichment Program, which provides a number of activities for children and teenagers. From life skills and homework help, to physical activities and art, programs at S.H.A.P.E. have a broader goal of enriching communities and families, Parker explained.
"That made an impact on me, and we wanted our efforts to have an impact on these young people and their families," she said.
Lightfoot and other college faculty and students began a donation drive to provide needed athletic equipment, art supplies and chess sets for S.H.A.P.E.'s children and teenagers. The efforts began in earnest at the beginning of the fall semester.
Then the hurricane struck.
"We took on this project at the end of the spring semester with the intention of finishing it up by the beginning of the fall. And then Harvey hit and things came to a crashing halt," she said. "I decided I was not going to lose focus on this project because it was very meaningful to me."
The group persisted with efforts and were rewarded with a generous collection of donated jump ropes, exercise mats and all manner of sports balls. They also collected paints and paint brushes, colors, art paper and canvases.
"We collected from the Phi Chi members, the board, our students, faculty and staff, and we got something from every item on their list," she said.
Included in the box of donation items were a series of children's books featuring the character Nola the Nurse, an African American nurse who celebrates the diverse cultures of her patients. The books were written by Dr. Scharmaine L. Baker, a nurse practitioner.
Those donated books came from Lightfoot.
"At the end of my career what is my legacy? Not only recruiting to our college, but planting a seed, as with these children at S.H.A.P.E. Community Center," she said. "Wouldn't it be wonderful if one day they applied to become a nurse at the UH College of Nursing."
The College's nursing honor society chapter, Phi Chi, was chartered by Sigma Theta Tau International in February 2013—the 500th chapter. An international nursing organization, the local chapter is led by the College's Dr. Sandy Lee, who is the president and a founding officer.
The College of Nursing's philanthropic efforts through its Sigma Theta Tau nursing honor society have included the March of Dimes. In 2017 their efforts to lead the largest group during the March of Dimes March for Babies, for which they were recognized.
