The Irish Brigade & the McNeill Rangers, also, The Civil War Comes to Hardy County. Military Events near Petersburg, WV. . The Irish Brigade & the McNeill Rangers . . General James A. Mulligan, USA Born June 25, 1830 in Utica, NY, James Adelbert Mulligan was a spirited Irish-American who wore a green scarf in combat. At the outbreak of the Civil War he recruited, and was made Colonel of the 23rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry, known as the Irish Brigade. He served with great gallantry, first in the West and later in the East, being twice captured and severely wounded. . . After his surrender and exchange at the siege of Lexington Missouri, Mulligan was eventually sent east under the command of Brigadier General Benjamin F. Kelley. For roughly a year he was sent on various missions in Western Virginia, wherever he was most needed. In the summer of 1863, Kelley sent 33-year-old Colonel Mulligan and his Irish Brigade up from New Creek (Keyser). His mission was to fortify and hold a position at Petersburg, located at a vital point along Lincoln's "snakebite" border between the North and the South. On the highest hill in the immediate area, Mulligan constructed what appeared to be an impregnable fortress. . . Colonel Mulligan commanded the garrison here at Petersburg during the summer and fall of 1863, having at one time 68 officers, 1532 men and 7 pieces of field artillery. Mulligan left Petersburg in November to return to New Creek. He was replaced by Colonel Joseph Thoburn who took command of the fort. . . Sent east to Winchester, Mulligan was wounded while leading a charge at the battle of Kernstown on July 24, 1864. While being carried off the field he noticed that the colors of his brigade were endangered. "Lay me down and save the flat," he ordered. His men hesitated, but finally obeyed. Before they returned, he had been bourn away by the enemy and died a prisoner in Winchester, Virginia on July 26, 1864. Mulligan had been brevetted a Brigadier General of Volunteers just a few weeks earlier. . . Captain John H. McNeill, CSA John Hanson McNeill was born June 12, 1815, a short distance from Moorefield. In April of 1861, he was commissioned by Missouri Governor Jackson to raise a company of militia and join General Price. Twice commended for bravery, McNeill was wounded at Lexington and later captured, along with his son Jesse. After a daring escape from prison, McNeill and his son returned to Hardy County and once again tool up the cause of the Confederacy. . . Captain McNeill's company of 1st Virginia Partisan Rangers was accepted into Confederate service on September 24, 1862. It was merged into the 18th Virginia Cavalry, and then part of McNeill's command was reassigned in February of 1863. The other section remained under McNeill's personal command. Few groups were more effective that the some 210 men of the McNeill Rangers. Hardy County served as their main base of operations. The McNeill Rangers were considered "bushwhackers" by many Union generals as they pursued their objectives, creating general havoc among the Federal troops, disrupting traffic and communications on the B&O Railroad, and foraging for beef cattle to supply the Confederate armies. . . On October 3, 1863, having learned of a wagon train bringing supplies to Union troops around Harrisonburg, the McNeill Rangers attacked a force of Federals guarding the bridge over the Shenandoah. They captured the bridge and some 60 Union prisoners, but in the confusion McNeill was mortally wounded. He was taken to the home of a Methodist minister where, knowing they were in danger of capture, he said "Goodbye, my boys, leave he to my fate. I can do no more for my country." He was later smuggled to Harrisonburg where he died November 10, 1864. The McNeill Rangers continued under the leadership of his son Jesse, who never forgot what his father taught him, in leading a raid, one should always look well for a getting-out-place before going in. . .

After the battle and surrender at Rich Mountain in July 1861, many members joined McNeill's Rangers and the 11th Virginia Cavalry. . . July 14–15, 1861 – After burning the bridge at Stoney River, on the Northwest Pike, nearly 1,000 Confederate troops were encamped a short distance east of Greenland. The Confederates learned of the approach of Union forces and retreated on July 15th for Petersburg.

The Rebels learned of the impending attack and fled to the mountains. The Union troops retraced their steps back to Petersburg and encountered McNeill's command who fired on them from the mountain sides. . . . The Civil War Comes to Hardy County . . Hardy County was one of the constantly disputed sections of western Virginia during the Civil War. Many in present Hardy County favored the Southern cause, but some remained loyal to the Union. Many who lived in present Grant County considered themselves Unionists, but some Confederate sympathizers lived in that section, too. Both sides wanted the produce of this rich agricultural region. . . Western Virginia was rich in farm crops, livestock and salt, all of which were in short supply during the war. Confederate commanders coveted western Virginia, not only for its abundance of supplies, but also as a vast recruiting ground. They also realized that the B&O Railroad was the main supply line of troops and supplies for the Union Army and made numerous attempts to gain control of the railroad. . . The North and the South were both quick to realize the value of western Virginia as a military base from which they could attack vital enemy positions. The strategic location of Petersburg is quite apparent. It lays in a main intersection, with north leading to New Creek (Keyser) and Cumberland, west to Grafton, east to Winchester and the Shenandoah Valley, and south towards Franklin and Staunton. This is why Petersburg was used as an auxiliary supply depot so far south of New Creek, which was the main supply depot for the Union Armies. . . The South Branch Valley was occupied by Confederate forces as early as August of 1861. They were driven out in September as a result of skirmishes with Federal troops from New Creek. Until April of 8162, the area remained a "no man's land" with both sides patrolling and for short period occupying the overlooking hills. Roughly 20,000 Federal troops under the command of Major General John C. Fremont invaded the South Branch Valley in April of 1862. Using Petersburg as a base Freemont covered the area. In May, troops from Milroy's and Schenck's Brigades of Freemont's Mountain Department were defeated by Confederates under Stonewall Jackson at McDowell and fell back to their base here. When Freemont's army headed to the Shenandoah Valley in pursuit of Jackson, this area again saw patrols and occasional occupation by both sides. McNeill's Rangers was a company of Confederates who operated with impunity in the area and did much to thwart Federal efforts to protect the B&O Railroad. Their many small actions, along with larger scale incursions by regular Confederate cavalry resulted in a more determined effort on the part of Federal forces to hold the South Branch Valley. . . The battles fought in these mountain regions differed greatly from the eastern battlefields. There was no large-scale carnage such as at Antietam and Gettysburg; however, these battles, skirmishes and affairs were fought with the same valor and determination. The valleys, hills and mountains of West Virginia echoed with the thunder of guns throughout the Civil War. By November of 1864, the Shenandoah Valley was under complete Federal control, but this area continued to be dangerous territory for Federal troops until the war ended. .

The Irish Brigade & the McNeill Rangers
General James A. Mulligan, USA Born June 25, 1830 in Utica, NY, James Adelbert Mulligan was a spirited Irish-American who wore a green scarf in combat. At the outbreak of the Civil War he recruited, and was made Colonel of the 23rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry, known as the Irish Brigade. He served with great gallantry, first in the West and later in the East, being twice captured and severely wounded.
After his surrender and exchange at the siege of Lexington Missouri, Mulligan was eventually sent east under the command of Brigadier General Benjamin F. Kelley. For roughly a year he was sent on various missions in Western Virginia, wherever he was most needed. In the summer of 1863, Kelley sent 33-year-old Colonel Mulligan and his Irish Brigade up from New Creek (Keyser). His mission was to fortify and hold a position at Petersburg, located at a vital point along Lincoln's "snakebite" border between the North and the South. On the highest hill in the immediate area, Mulligan constructed what appeared to be an impregnable fortress.
Colonel Mulligan commanded the garrison here at Petersburg during the summer and fall of 1863, having at one time 68 officers, 1532 men and 7 pieces of field artillery. Mulligan left Petersburg in November to return to New Creek. He was replaced by Colonel Joseph Thoburn who took command of the fort.
Sent east to Winchester, Mulligan was wounded while leading a charge at the battle of Kernstown on July 24, 1864. While being carried off the field he noticed that the colors
of his brigade were endangered. "Lay me down and save the flat," he ordered. His men hesitated, but finally obeyed. Before they returned, he had been bourn away by the enemy and died a prisoner in Winchester, Virginia on July 26, 1864. Mulligan had been brevetted a Brigadier General of Volunteers just a few weeks earlier.
Captain John H. McNeill, CSA John Hanson McNeill was born June 12, 1815, a short distance from Moorefield. In April of 1861, he was commissioned by Missouri Governor Jackson to raise a company of militia and join General Price. Twice commended for bravery, McNeill was wounded at Lexington and later captured, along with his son Jesse.

On October 3, 1863, having learned of a wagon train bringing supplies to Union troops around Harrisonburg, the McNeill Rangers attacked a force of Federals guarding the bridge over the Shenandoah. They captured the bridge and some 60 Union prisoners, but in the confusion McNeill was mortally wounded. He was taken

to the home of a Methodist minister where, knowing they were in danger of capture, he said "Goodbye, my boys, leave he to my fate. I can do no more for my country." He was later smuggled to Harrisonburg where he died November 10, 1864. The McNeill Rangers continued under the leadership of his son Jesse, who never forgot what his father taught him—in leading a raid, one should always look well for a getting-out-place before going in.

The Civil War Comes to Hardy County
Hardy County was one of the constantly disputed sections of western Virginia during the Civil War. Many in present Hardy County favored the Southern cause, but some remained loyal to the Union. Many who lived in present Grant County considered themselves Unionists, but some Confederate sympathizers lived in that

section, too. Both sides wanted the produce of this rich agricultural region.
Western Virginia was rich in farm crops, livestock and salt, all of which were in short supply during the war. Confederate commanders coveted western Virginia, not only for its abundance of supplies, but also as a vast recruiting ground. They also realized that the B&O Railroad was the main supply line of troops and supplies for the Union Army and made numerous attempts to gain control of the railroad.
The North and the South were both quick to realize the value of western Virginia as a military base from which they could attack vital enemy positions. The strategic location of Petersburg is quite apparent. It lays in a main intersection, with north leading to New Creek (Keyser) and Cumberland, west to Grafton, east to Winchester and the Shenandoah Valley, and south towards Franklin and Staunton. This is why Petersburg was used as an auxiliary supply depot so far south of New Creek, which was the main supply depot for the Union Armies.
The South Branch Valley was occupied by Confederate forces as early as August of 1861. They were driven out in September as a result of skirmishes with Federal troops from New Creek. Until April of 8162, the area remained a "no man's land" with both sides patrolling and for short period occupying the overlooking hills. Roughly 20,000 Federal troops under the command of Major General John C. Fremont invaded the South Branch Valley in April of 1862. Using Petersburg as a base Freemont covered the area. In May, troops from Milroy's and Schenck's Brigades of Freemont's Mountain Department were defeated by Confederates under Stonewall Jackson at McDowell and fell back to their base here. When Freemont's army headed to the Shenandoah Valley in pursuit of Jackson, this area again saw patrols and occasional occupation by both

sides. McNeill's Rangers was a company of Confederates who operated with impunity in the area and did much to thwart Federal efforts to protect the B&O Railroad. Their many small actions, along with larger scale incursions by regular Confederate cavalry resulted in a more determined effort on the part of Federal forces to hold the South Branch Valley.
The battles fought in these mountain regions differed greatly from the eastern battlefields. There was no large-scale carnage such as at Antietam and Gettysburg; however, these battles, skirmishes and affairs were fought with the same valor and determination. The valleys, hills and mountains of West Virginia echoed with the thunder of guns throughout the Civil War. By November of 1864, the Shenandoah Valley was under complete Federal control, but this area continued to be dangerous territory for Federal troops until the war ended.

Sharat Kusuma, MD, MBA'02, BA'97, grew up in Albany, Georgia, and comes from a family of doctors. His father is a gastroenterologist, and his brother is a Vanderbilt-trained plastic surgeon.
Kusuma chose orthopaedic joint replacement surgery as his clinical specialty.
"The way you can immediately affect the gait and mobility of patients is incredibly gratifying," he said.
After residency training in at the University of Pennsylvania, Kusuma did two fellowships, one at Rush University Medical Center and the other in bone-conserving hip and knee replacement in Birmingham and Nottingham, United Kingdom.
In 2009 he set up practice at OhioHealth in Columbus, Ohio, where he performed about 400 surgeries a year, and participated in implant design, robotic surgery and outpatient joint replacement programs. Kusuma also lent his surgical expertise to hospitals in South Africa, India, Ecuador and Peru.
By 2014 Kusuma was ready for a new challenge. That's when the training he'd received in Vanderbilt University's joint MD/MBA program proved to have significant value.
In the spring of 2002, he was one of the first three students to graduate from the dual-degree program established by the School of Medicine and Owen Graduate School of Management. Kusuma entered the program after his third year of medical school and completed both degrees within five years.
In 2014 Kusuma left full-time orthopaedic practice and become a health care expert at McKinsey & Company, a top global management consulting firm that advises health care organizations, including hospital systems, biotech companies, and state and national governments.
In summer 2017, Kusuma started a new job at Apple's world headquarters in Cupertino, California, on the Health Projects team, developing clinical applications for consumer electronics.
"Our current (health care) system practices episodic and reactive care," he explained. "But if remote wearables allowed patients to share heart rhythms and steps, which are tracked every day by smartwatches, they and their doctors could interact better remotely and they could make day-to-day changes to improve their own health. It's the day-to-day things that patients do that really affect their long-term outcome," Kusuma said.

Regardless of whether you are about to join fatherhood, just welcomed your little one into the world or have been a father for a number of years now, the question of fatherhood is an important one not only for the individual but for our society as a whole.
In times when traditional family structures are changing and parenthood is no longer restricted to a man and a woman per se, the role of the father seems to be at jeopardy.
Think about the relationship you had with your father. If you are among the lucky bunch out there, your father was present and supportive, strict but fair, encouraging and authoritative, consistent and predictable, a role model with his own human flaws that were minor enough not to have a negative impact on you psychologically.
When you become a dad yourself, it is probably fair to say that you will father similarly, while also finding your own way in conjunction with your partner. It is easier to be a good father when you had one!
Don't worry, you are not alone! By the end of this post, I hope that you will feel supported, encouraged and confident in your ability to address the issue with your kids in an informed and psychologically-minded way.
Tip #1. Remember, children are very sensitive.
Children are very sensitive to their parents' emotional state and will detect that something is wrong, especially if one day dad was there and the next day, he isn't. Usually, they don't know how to verbalize what they may be feeling but you may notice it through their behavior - maybe they appear sad, refuse to eat, struggle to sleep or seem to be acting angry and throw more tantrums than usual. Any unusual or different behavior may be an indication and/or a communication to you that they feel something is not quite right with their mommy or daddy.
Tip #2. Tell the truth about the separation even if it hurts.

UFC is super mean, gave Tony Ferguson the middle finger — then kicked him in the nuts
By Jesse Holland May 15, 2018, 2:50pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: UFC is super mean, gave Tony Ferguson the middle finger — then kicked him in the nuts
Photo by Alex Trautwig/Getty Images
Some of the best and brightest mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters competing for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) get hurt, even the ones in favor with the world's largest combat sports promotion, so former interim champion Tony Ferguson wants to know why he's getting special treatment.
Did Robert Whittaker lose the substitute strap when he was felled back in January?
Am I Your Champion Or Not?
No, so there is no reason for UFC to strip Ferguson of the temporary title in the wake of his freak accident ahead of UFC 223. That's according to "El Cucuy," who told the gang at ESPN that he's already suffered enough hardship after losing his monster payday.
His words:
"The UFC has indicated my title is gone and Khabib is the only champion at 155 pounds, but the UFC hasn't mentioned anything official to my management. As far as I'm concerned, I'm still the true 155-pound champion. I never lost my belt. That's a big middle finger to 'T-Ferg' right there -- that's a kick to the groin if they do that. At the end of the day, does the UFC really like its fighters? I'm one of their toughest fighters. Don't kick me when I'm down. I missed out on pay-per-view points, my purse, a big payday; a lot of things behind the scenes. They have to either give me my title back or make sure I'm fighting under that same contract. I've earned that."
When Ferguson got injured ahead of UFC 223, not-weird Realtor Al Iaquinta stepped in to take his place in the five-round headliner, but got promptly shut down by newly-crowned 155-pound champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Ferguson: UFC Shouldn't Strip Me Because Of A Freak Injury!
Unfortunately for the division — but perhaps fortunately for Ferguson — "The Eagle" is taking the summer off and does not expect to return until late fall. That would be right around the same time as former lightweight champion Conor McGregor makes his UFC comeback.
Still lots of moving pieces to this 155-pound puzzle.

I honestly don't have a problem with companies protecting their content like they have under YouTube and other UGC sites.
My problem lies in the inherent flaw most implementations of their protection schemes have: platform support. The way all current systems of protection work, they require the Windows platform to work or stand alone devices.
The evidence couldn't be any more obvious than the Blu-Ray protection scheme. While it does use Java, discs do NOT play on any system except Windows ones with CERTAIN video players or sit top boxes.
My primary system to use is a Linux system, and my ability to watch content is hampered a great deal because I do not like the other platforms. I frankly cannot afford a Mac (and Apple worries me a bit, with some of their policies), and Windows is something that I feel I'm better without.
I want to have that content accessible to me, on my platform of choice. However, I doubt that will happen since Linux users are not taken very seriously by big companies.
A good example would be Netflix. They use Silverlight and the DRM system that is usable though it to deliver content to users. However, Silverlight is unavailable on Linux with all the features necessary to play movies from Netflix. We do have a Silverlight implementation called Moonlight, but it isn't complete, and it isn't likely that the DRM library would be implemented, since it requires a prohibitive amount of work to implement safely.
What I want to see is Blu-Ray discs coming with a player RIGHT ON THE DISC that is usable in Windows, Mac, and Linux, so that nobody is really excluded from being able to watch high definition movies on their computer.
As for legal movies available through online distribution, I want to see companies opening up to Linux platform. Hulu is taking steps, I'll grant them that much. The Hulu Desktop for Linux application was a nice touch, and I do appreciate things like that.
I want Netflix and other companies with similar models to be able to offer services indiscriminately. Nobody should be forced to use a certain type of system to access content that they either paid for or are being offered to watch.
All companies are guilty of being stupid. That is no reason to call them evil. The problem lies in their ability to recognize their stupidity and then fix the errors they made.
The music industry is learning quite well, and I hope other industries do as well.
Are you sure? The info section on the YouTube watch page, which is maintained by Yale itself, says, "Michael Fricklas, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Viacom, speaks at the Yale Law School and the Information Society Project at Yale about Intellectual Property and the future of copyright law."
This is my course, and I am sure that it is a Yale College course and not a Yale Law School course. Adi is one of my students.
I will get in touch with Open Yale Courses to have them change the description.

Sales effectiveness is the ability of a company's sales representative to navigate through the sales procedure with the customer and get a positive or desired outcome at every stage. It describes a category of technologies and tools used by a company to improve its sales. An effective salesperson helps the company get exactly what it wants and more as well as helping in drumming up sales. Sales effectiveness also involves getting not just the tactics right; but also the time frame.
Companies are always working to improve their sales effectiveness and this requires the collaboration of both the sales department and the marketing department so as to understand what works and what doesn't. Strategies used by the sales representatives as they pursue leads are also investigated and changed accordingly.
Sales effectiveness is determined by the sale force performance. Sales managers, therefore, examine sale force performance and make needed variations to enhance the sales process. The performance thereafter can be calculated for individuals as well as for the whole workforce. "Salesforce effectiveness" metric has been proven to be very useful.
The basic purpose of sales effectiveness is to increase the business's revenue by improving and increasing customer acquisition, sales of commodities (both products and services) as well as up-selling and cross-selling extra commodities. Sales effectiveness metric serves to measure the sales performance of persons and the group as a whole. A number of metrics can be used to gauge the performance of a salesperson so as to reveal information that just the mere total number of sales can't show. Increase in revenue per sales representatives shows an improvement in the sales effectiveness.
Benchmarking is the most accomplished method for evaluating how effective a company's sales team is. Surveys done have shown that sales performance is enhanced by a well defined sales process.
Compliants – this group consist of employees who follow the process as laid down but don't necessarily believe in it.
Mavericks – Mavericks are almost like deviants as they recognize the sales process laid down but they choose to follow processes of their own making.
The self-reliant and the clueless – both these groups are unaware of the laid out sales process but unlike the clueless ones, the self-reliant try to work one out.
