J.K. Rowling's annotated Harry Potter to lead book auction
An annotated first edition of HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE is set to go up for sale to raise money for charity.
The book, the first in the magical series, features handwritten thoughts and commentary from author J.K. Rowling, alongside 22 hand-drawn illustrations of Potter and Albus Dumbledore.
The novel will be one of the star lots going under the hammer alongside editions of Bridget Jones's Diary and Northern Lights, which include annotations from authors Helen Fielding and Philip Pullman respectively. A copy of Roald Dahl's Matilda containing original drawings by illustrator Quentin Blake will also be auctioned at Sotheby's in London on Tuesday (21May13).

I love Brooks Brothers guy (who I only saw toned down versions of), but support group girl might top him. When I was coming into the building, some girl had a group there reassuring her and wishing her luck. This is 8.15 on a dang Saturday morning; I wouldn't get up to wish my mom luck on the LSAT on a Saturday morning and this girl had a gaggle of people. What the hell?
I was totally Brooks Brothers! I hardly ever dress up but I like to do it for tests. Whatever works...My favorites were:Stand-Up Guy: Basically a Seinfeld wannabe cracking jokes on every aspect of the test and the administration ("Did you ever notice how hard it is to keep a steady 'bubbling' motion throughout the test?")Kiss-Up Guy: Offering to help with everything the proctor is doing, as if she was the one grading the LSAT.and, let's not forget...Einstein Hair Guy: I was one of these too. My hair was alright at the beginning of the day, and then as I proceeded through the test, running my hands over my head in concentration, I ended up sporting a mad scientist fro by the end of it all.
I was "can't write in cursive guy." I had to ask for more time to finish the damn thing not once but TWICE. I don't think i've ever blushed more, but dammit, i really couldn't finish the darn thing as fast as everyone else.Why exactly DO we have to do it in cursive?

UnNews:Apple sued for copyright infringement
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
1 February 2010
THE INTARWEBS -- In an unprecedented step, Apple is being sued by parody website Funcyclopedia for the use of material protected under Creative Commons licence.
Recently Apple introduced a new magic box thing called iPad which will be released to the general public for consumption in the next few months. Although it is not commercially available, criticism has been levelled against Apple for their use of a term previously coined by Funcyclopedia writers.
"It's not the first time this has happened," said Funcyclopedia administrator, Über user, "We often come up with extremely novel concepts here, being that our tendency is to think outside of the box, and that is the kind of thing marketing people seem to love."
One previous example he went on to site was the extremely popular game Dragon Warrior.
"Our writer of the year, Exaggeration, created this game within the tight confines of our system capabilities, which involved numerous players taking on the persona of warriors and magic users in order to go on mythical quests. This begins to become a popular game for us, and then, out of nowhere Blizzard Entertainment create World of Warcraft - a game where multiple players take on the persona of warriors and magic users and go on mythical quests. I mean it just isn't right!"
Another popular writer, Rosencrantzinpants also had a complaint to make.
"I came up with this idea for a fantastic game where people choose real characters and have realistic adventures. I put my heart and soul into it, and the next thing I know someone comes out with Sims. My critics say that I write the same three things over and over and over again. If you take one of those away, then I'm only left with... less then three!"
But copyright laws only protect concepts that have been patented, so until recently these forms of plagiarism have gone predominantly unchecked. Even when a major soft drink label introduced rawberry flavour to their label, directly taking their marketing from the highly popular viral video powerthirst, the paradoxical masses kept their complaints to themselves.
Über user explains: "These things are extremely hard to fight in court. It's like the ages old question - which came first, the chicken or the egg? I mean, how can you tell when an egg reaches climax?"
However it appears iPad is the proverbial straw to the dromedaries spine. By choosing to name their latest offering after the Funcyclopedia viral video.
"Here there can be no doubt in anyone's mind which was first," said the head of Funcyclopedia's legal department, Xanax Lite, "the only question is does this constitute a breach of copyright under the CC-BY-NC-SA agreement. Given that I still can't quite work out what those letter s all mean, we have a tough battle on our hands."
Apple spokesperson, Aleister Crawley, had the following to say. "We came up with the iPad concept completely in house. There was no theft of intellectual copyright here. After all, how could we have been aware that there was already an existing product known as iPad?"
When asked if they had considered doing a Google search for the name first, Crawley simply responded, "What in hell is a Google?"
Crawley went on to say, "Besides, any potential infringement of copyright is protected under anti-Parody laws. After all, people have been parodying Mickey Mouse for years, and the Disney corporation have been able to do nothing about it."
Independent sources, however, believe that this may just be an effort from the editors of Funcyclopedia to gather publicity. Online magazine www.timelord.org had the following to say. "It used to be a place of joy and wonder, with high quality humour throughout, but now even their most talented and yet modest editor has stooped to the ultimate low by using self-referential humour."

Visualization offers view of a nerve cell's dispatch center
All: B.G. Wilhelm et al/Science 2014
See numbered details • View the video
Brains run on constant streams of chatter. The roughly 85 billion nerve cells in the human brain converse by sending messages via molecules called neurotransmitters. These chemical conversations allow the brain to think, remember and feel, but the details of how those messages move remain mysterious.
To get a closer look, researchers led by Silvio Rizzoli of the University of Göttingen Medical Center in Germany created a 3-D visualization of the cellular machinery that allows a rat nerve cell to send a message. The new model, published in the May 30 Science, reveals the roles of proteins in the synaptic bouton, a structure at the tip of a nerve cell's message-sending axon.

Net Migration in the US
You can see migration to a given county from any other county in the country. E.g., 66 people moved from Dane County, WI (Madison) in 2008, and 34 moved in the opposite direction. Or: 149 people moved from Harris County, TX (Houston) to Queens, NY, but 449 made the opposite trip. Also, this being Forbes, matters economic are considered integral, so per capita income for migrants is also shown. This is pretty interesting, actually, as it is suggestive of the sort of moving involved: the average income for folks making the leap between high-tech hubs San Mateo, CA and Travis County, TX (Austin) was $74,500. For those moving from Cameron County, TX on the Mexican border to Clark County, NV (Las Vegas) it was just $12,900.

Do they have one of these maps for the illegals that cross? Lot of black lines coming out of Mexico into US counties
- June 29, 2010 at 4:13 PM
I love this map. The only flaw is that it doesn't tell you the total in or out migration or the net migration for a given county. The hover over only works for counties that your selected county is connected to, but not for the selected county. Kind of silly. But the map itself is cool.
And man, blog comment spam has certainly become more interesting lately.

Healthy sharing - I will "grab your rss feed" if you keep talking that way...
Anon - By "illegals," I assume you mean "people who are forced, by lack of economic opportunity, to embark on arduous journeys away from their home, their community, and everything they hold dear, in order to exchange their labor for money with which to support their families"? Because no, international migration is not depicted on this map.
Gus - for real though, on the spam thing. And the map thing too, for that matter.

In this distress he was received into the house of Mr. Waldron, where he lay concealed for some time. When the place of his retreat was at length discovered, he took refuge in Flanders, whore he died after a mbt trainers few months' residence, in the summer of 1791.Under the hospitable roof of this worthy and amiable man, Whalley resumed the care of Jonson ; but want of books, and, perhaps, of sufficient composure of mind, rendered his attcmpte ineffectual, and the manuscript was finally abandoned to his friend, who, in the year 1792, coach outlet store online commenced the publication of it in numbers. The success apparently fell short of the expectations of the editor, as the work was not continued beyond the second number.Mr. Waldron neither possessed, nor pretended to be possessed of, scholastic learning; but he was laborious, accurate, conversant with the stage, and imbued with a rational love of the ancient drama, which he had studied coach bags outlet with success. He appears to have collated Whalley's copy with the early editions ; and, on attentively retracing his steps, previously to the arrangement of the text for the present publication, I found much to approve in the caution andI Whalley'« text was that of the booksellers' edition, five finger shoes in Svo. This had been in Theobald's band«, and an incidental remark by him, of no moment whatever, here and there appeared in Ule margin.judgment with which he had uniformly proceeded. His friendship for Whalley, however, has led him to form far too high an estimate of that gentleman's qualifications ; and beyond the revision which I have just mentioned, he seems to have contemplated no alteration of the papers left in his hands.Many years had elapsed since the failure, last mentioned, when the republication coach outlet coupon of Joneon w»s proposed to me by Mr. George Nicol, to whom Whalley'e corrected copy had been consigned by Mr. Waldron. I was well aware of the labor and difficulty of the task ; but my objections were overcome by the encouragement of my friend, and I undertook the edition, confident that I was not about to coach purses outlet encumber the public with a superfluous work, for Jonson had now been long out of the bookseller's hands. One motive there yet was, which had some influence on my determination — a desire, though late, to render justice to the moral character of the author, and rescue him from the calumnies of his inveterate persecutors. My mind had been prejudiced at an early period by the commentators on our old dramas, and I verily believed, as they repeatedly assured me, that " tho great mbt shoes clearance object of Jonson's life was the persecution of Shakspeare ; " nor was it until I became acquainted with the dates of his respective performances that I ventured to question the accuracy of the critics, or to entertain a suspicion that they were actuated by unworthy motives, and could only be relieved 5 finger shoes from the charge of wanton malevolence by the plea of incorrigible folly.Previously to the arrangement of the text, it became necessary to collate the old editions. In the execution of this part of the work, the mode adopted in the revision of Maesinger was carefully followed.

The Trimble County Extension Service District Board had its annual meeting Monday night at Cardinal Hills. Officers elected to serve until January 1982 were Neil Heilman, chairman; Jan Joyce, vice chairman; Ray Clem, secretary, and Kay Bishop, treasurer.
Trimble County varsity Raiders dropped a 69-66 decision to Henry County last Tuesday.
Deaths: Clara Mae Hamilton, 72, Milton; Bill Paul Paris, 43, Turners Station; Amanuel Furnish, 97, Madison, Ind.

After days of sub-zero weather, the temperature has risen to the point that ice on the Ohio River is breaking loose and water traffic is moving. Ice piled up at Markland dam was causing some concern as it was thought that a cofferdam was apt to be torn away by the grinding ice movement. A warming trend was alleviating that situation. The cold weather has caused several accidents, garages are doing a big business starting cars, coal yards are being depleted and oil furnaces and stoves were being overtaxed in the sub-zero weather we have had since Jan. 19.
Eleven new streetlights are being installed in the Milton area. The town already has 20 streetlights and the new type lights now being erected will provide a "great white way" for some distance along the highway in the new Milton area.
Allen Stark was injured late in the game with Henry Central when scampering for a ball. He fell to the floor and a Henry Central player fell on him in such a manner as to throw all of his weight on Stark's neck. Stark was taken to Carrollton hospital where X-rays were to be made yesterday (Wednesday). To the secondary subject of winning or losing in basketball, the Raiders did remarkably well against Lincoln Institute on Tuesday night but lost, 74-62, and was downed by Henry, 54-51.
Deaths: Alvin Holsclaw, 63, Milton; Harry C. Sachleben, 50, Madison; Mrs. Montry Parks, 69, Lacie; Walton McClellan, 53, Bedford; George Collis, 69, Louisville.

The TCHS Big Blue Demons romped over the Crestwood delegation here Tuesday night by the lopsided score of 28-15. The past Saturday night, fans witnessed an exciting game, which went into overtime from which the Big Blues emerged with a one-point victory. The line-up for TCHS was H. Tingle, 17; Craig, 3; J. Tingle, 8; Spillman, 2; and Hayden, 5. In a game with Pleasureville away from home, the Demons scored again. This time winning by 31-25.

With the completion Saturday of the concrete floor in the new Trimble Democrat building, which has been constructed under the supervision of Frank C. Bell, the building reached the stage where it could be occupied, and Monday morning we began to move in.
Three or four weeks ago the chicken house of Mr. Wess Knight, who lives on Mr. J.F. Butler's farm on the hilltop south of town, was broken into and several hens and fryers carried away. Mr. Knight bought a large, vicious Airdale dog, and chained him in the house containing the remaining fowls.
About midnight, the dog aroused the family and Mr. Knight hastily dressed and with a shotgun loaded slipped out the back door, but the intruder had undoubtedly "smelt a mouse" and beat it for parts unknown. But the midnight visitor had dropped something in his hurry to get away. Mr. Knight found a one-dollar bill left by the intruder and put it to good use. He purchased a license tag for the dog and intends to buy him a silver collar.
Deaths: Mrs. Emma Bell Spillman, 84, Patton's Creek, Mrs. Elizabeth Frances Huff, 78, Pleasant Retreat neighborhood.
Hilda Parrish is office manager of The Trimble Banner. She is an avid historian and genealogist and a long-time Bedford resident.

1:39 am | Up day, down week (again) for Tokyo stocks | by Carla Mozée
Japanese equities close the session on firm footing, with the Nikkei Average tacking on 2.2% at 14,462.41.
But with the first two days of the week losing a combined 6.2%, the index notched a weekly deficit of 3%. That pullback was the sharpest since a 5% drop in the week ended Oct. 4.
The Nikkei has also finished with a fifth straight weekly fall. The last time the index posted such a lengthy string of losses was from early April to early June in 2012. Unless you were short, those were nine dismal weeks of declines.
On Monday, the market is poised to react the U.S. jobs report for December, due later Friday. Then, a break – Japanese trading on Tuesday will be closed for National Foundation Day.
1:21 am | Markets check -- 3:21 p.m. in Tokyo
Japan (Nikkei Average) up 2.2% (closed)
Hong Kong (Hang Seng Index) up 1%

Sydney (S&P/ASX 200) up 0.7% (closed)
Seoul (Kospi) up 0.8% (closed)
Mumbai (Sensex) up 0.5%
12:55 am | China trade waylaid? | by Mike Kitchen
In November, China's exports jumped 12.7% from a year earlier. In December, they rose 4.3%.
And in January, if the economists at Barclays are correct, they will contract.
In a note out Friday, Barclays said that China's trade data — due out Wednesday — will show exports falling 0.2% on an annual basis "due to soft external demand and a higher comparison base."
"The year-on-year growth rate is distorted downward by a higher base due to inflated trade reporting last year and one less working day this January vs. last year," the Barclays team wrote.
"Looking ahead, we remain cautious on Chinese export growth in 2014 based on uncertain emerging-markets growth," Barclays said.
They added that weakness in the "new export orders" component of last month's manufacturing report "points to a downbeat external demand outlook."
A drop in exports could disappoint the markets, but it would certainly jibe with comments out of the Chinese Commerce Ministry last month, which said that soft global growth, rising costs and heavy competition from emerging economies could hurt China's trade account in 2014.
12:36 am | Asia highlights for next week
Monday: Japan December balance of payments, Nissan Motor earnings

9:45 pm | China markets disagree on real estate | by Mike Kitchen & Laura He
It's a mixed picture for China stocks today, with Hong Kong following Wall Street's lead to a 1% gain in the first hour of trade, but with Shanghai down 0.2% as the market returns from a week-long Lunar New Year holiday to catch up with losses earlier this week. (See the details here.)
The Hong Kong and mainland China markets can often show interesting divergences, and such is the case today with real-estate shares. For example, China Vanke — the nation's largest property developer — is down 1.4% in Shenzhen but up 1.1% in Hong Kong. And the same is true of several other real-estate majors.
What gives? The shares could be reacting to reportedly weak property-market activity in China's largest cities during the Lunar New Year, which is not always the case. This could be a bad thing (sales are down) or a good thing (the government is less likely to put further limits on the market to cool prices).
And so, the mainland markets dominated by Chinese investors see things one way, while the Hong Kong market with its large presence of foreign money sees it differently.
8:11 pm | Inflation rising, but whatever | by Mike Kitchen
They wanted a cheaper currency and they got it. Now prices will rise faster and that's just fine too.
Or so says the Reserve Bank of Australia in its quarterly policy statement out this morning. The RBA admitted that consumer inflation will probably surpass the central bank's target by the middle of the year, probably due in large part to its work in talking down the Aussie dollar.
But paradoxically, its recent talk of faster inflation and an end to interest-rate cuts is in fact driving the Australian dollar higher. For example, the Aussie nosed up to 89.65 U.S. cents after the RBA statement from around 89.45 cents, though it has since drifted back.
8:09 pm | Japan stocks can't win for losing | by Carla Mozée
It's been another rough week for Japanese stocks, during which the Nikkei Average fell into a correction, or a drop of more than 10% from the previous peak. The index's most recent top level was reached on Dec. 30. Read more here.
The Nikkei was up about 1.2% early in Friday's session, but stocks will have to do some heavy lifting to pull the index out of the 3.7% weekly loss it's facing.
7:42 pm | Markets check -- 9:42 a.m. in Tokyo
Japan (Nikkei Average) up 1.8%
Sydney (S&P/ASX 200) up 0.5%
Seoul (Kospi) up 0.6%
7:19 pm | Australia moving up | by Mike Kitchen
A not-too-shabby 0.7% gain for Australia's ASX 200 in the early going, in what looks to be a solidly positive end of the week for Sydney. (See details here.)
Among the gainers:
Billabong up 5% on news it may sell its e-commerce businesses
News Corp (parent firm of MarketWatch) up 8.2% as profit declines by less than analysts had feared.
Aurora Oil & Gas up a hefty 55%, pricing in a buyout bid from Canada's Baytex Energy, which is supported by Aurora's board.
Coming up shortly: The Reserve Bank of Australia will release its quarterly policy statement, which just might move the currency and stock market.

Political activist, scholar, and author Angela Y. Davis made history when she "became the third woman to be place on the F.B.I.'s list of the 10 most- wanted fugitives," the New York Times reported in 1970.
Last week's addition of former Black Panther Assata Shakur to that same "Most Wanted Terrorist List" exemplifies the "longstanding 'racialization' of terrorism" in the United States and an attempt to discourage young Black and Latino activists, Davis told Democracy Now!
Watch the interview AFTER THE JUMP ...
"The FBI has decided to focus particularly on Black women. They fear that the movement will continue to grow particularly with the leadership and involvement of Black women. I was rendered an ideological target in the same vein that Assata Shakur was called 'The Mother Hen' of the Black Liberation Army."
"Before the Tsarnev brothers were discovered to be the alleged perpetrators [of the Boston Marathon bombings], there was an attempt to present the person who planted the bomb as either a black man or a dark skinned man with a hoodie. This racialization of what is represented as terrorism is an attempt to bring the old-style racism into the conversation with modes of repression in the 21st century."
Davis was accused of murder after allegedly purchasing the firearms used in the infamous August 1970 hostage abduction attempt by the "Soledad Brothers" in northern California. The judge, one of the jurors, the prosecutor and the three Black men were killed in the shootout. Davis was later exonerated by an all-white jury.
The global campaign to free Davis during her imprisonment from 1970 to 1972 is the subject of the recent critically-acclaimed documentary Free Angela and All Political Prisoners. Watch the interview and clips from the film AFTER THE JUMP ...

Syngenta just announced a partnership with Pasteuria Bioscience Inc. to develop bio-nematicide products. The first product the two companies will focus on is a seed treatment to control soybean cyst nematodes (SCN). They hope to launch a SCN product in two years.
The two companies will use a naturally occurring soil bacteria called Pasteuria in the new seed treatment and other products. The Pasteuria group of bacteria controls nematodes. Syngenta reports that this bacteria will complement the company's existing Avicta nematicide products.
"This global technology platform will offer growers a novel biological mode of action for nematode control," said Christoph Goppelsroeder, Syngenta global head of seed care. "Recent field trial results in U.S. soybeans have shown encouraging results, demonstrating that this technology combined with Syngenta's seed treatment expertise can provide growers with a significant opportunity to increase their yields."
Pasteuria Biosciences is a U.S.-based biotechnology company.

"Virginia is for Lovers" is the motto of the state tourist board of Virginia, but New Jersey can as plausibly make that boast. Virginia's comparative advantage in tourism is not libidinal but historical. Among its thousands of historical sites are some famous battlefields of the Civil War-among them the battlefields of the last great campaign ever fought in the United States. That campaign opened in May of 1864, when Ulysses S. Grant's Army of the Potomac crossed the Rapidan River, twenty miles west of Fredericksburg, to seek out Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia; it closed with Lee's surrender at Appomattox, a hundred and fifty miles to the southwest, one month short of a year later. Curious to know what traces of that epic contention have survived, my family and I recently traveled the route of the last campaign.
Grant was small and slight and famously unprepossessing. At forty-one he was a taciturn yet passionate man, who, just a few years before the war began, had been reduced to selling wood on a St. Louis street corner. The war was his big chance; an ordinary man rising to the occasion of his life, he made the most of it, becoming on the strength of his victories at Fort Donelson and Vicksburg the general-in-chief of all the Union armies. Lee, in Grant's own words, was "six feet high and of faultless form," aristocratic where Grant was plebeian, successful where Grant, in everything but war, had been a failure. At fifty-seven Lee was already suffering from the heart condition that would kill him six years later (his last words would be "Strike the tent"). Grant would live twenty-one more years, dying in agony from cancer of the throat, but not before he had secured his family's future by finishing his last campaign, the writing of his two-volume Memoirs. Grant and Lee met three times: once in 1947, during the war against Mexico, once at Appomattox, and once at the White House, when Grant was president.
Grant was new to the Virginia theater of the war in 1864, and he brought with him a new idea of how to fight there. The Union commanders before him -- McDowell, McClellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker, Meade—had tried to capture Richmond; he would try to destroy Lee's army. Lee, outnumbered (61,953 men to Grant's 122,146), sought not to destroy Grant's army but to punish it so badly that the northern public, three years into our most horrific war, would vote President Abraham Lincoln out of office in November in favor of a Peace Democrat, who would call a halt to Grant's offensive (and Sherman's matching drive in Georgia) if Lee had not already stopped it himself.
The first battle of the campaign came just a few miles southeast of the Getmanna Ford of the Rapidan, in a thickly wooded district called the Wilderness. Ending the winter's long "mud truce" between the armies, Grant crossed the Rapidan on May 4; Lee attacked on the fifth. The ensuing battle lasted two days. It was fought in dense woods, for the most part, and was, in the words of one veteran, "simply bushwhacking on a grand scale." The gunfire ignited the trees, and wounded men caught between the lines were burned to death, their shrieks carrying back to unnerve their comrades. Grant went to pieces at one point—retired to his tent to have a good cry—and Lee's ablest general, James Longstreet, was seriously wounded by his own men. Lee himself barely escaped a bullet when he tried to lead a charge. "Lee to the rear! Go back, General Lee, go back!" a company of Texans pleaded with him. He agreed to retire if they would make a seemingly impossible attack. They did, and it worked. His men loved Robert E. Lee, and he regularly put their love to the test by asking them to die for him.
I visited the meadow where Lee used love to make war; I inspected the vestigial earthworks, read all the signs, and plunged into the eponymous wilderness. All of this is part of the Wilderness Battlefield, just off Route 3, a twenty-minute drive from Fredericksburg. I wish I had planned a family picnic in one of the bosky dells set apart for that purpose on the mossy shoulder of the park road; equipped with charcoal braziers and picnic tables, they looked inviting.
The battle ended in a stalemate, with neither side able to break the other's entrenched line. Yet for all its futility, the Wilderness decided something. The veteran soldiers of the Army of the Potomac expected that Grant would do what all their generals had done after tangling with Lee—scoot back over the nearest river. But retreat was not in Grant's nature. South, deeper into Rebel territory, was where he aimed to go. When the first columns of troops reached a crossroads in the middle of the Wilderness and their officers ordered them to march south, the men cheered. Grant had given them back their self-respect. It was a turning point in the Civil War.
Lee, moving on longer lines, turned south too; and when Grant neared the crossroads town of Spotsylvania Court House, twelve miles beyond the Wilderness, Lee was there, blocking his path. From May 8 to 20 Grant assaulted Lee's trenches in attack after attack. The result was inhuman slaughter. Battered, bled, Grant finally gave it up, moving off to his left, always heading south.
I toured the Spotsylvania Court House Battlefield with a U.S. park ranger and historian, Wilson Greene. If you rent a tape at the Fredericksburg Battlefield Visitor Center, which is manned yearround (as the Wilderness and Spotsylvania are not), you can hear some of the story that Greene told me: about how the Confederates got there first only by the kind of accident Tolstoy would have relished, about how the terrain shaped their lines into a muleshoe, and about how the Federals stormed the top of this muleshoe, making it in twenty hours of handtohand combat the "Bloody Angle." Today the Bloody Angle is a swale of ground at the edge of a lush meadow. With the sun pelting down, birdsong chorusing from the woods, and a curtain of mist rising off the grass, violence seemed unimaginable in this place. When I mentioned this obvious irony to Greene, he told me about another form of violence being perpetrated here and elsewhere in Virginia: the despoiling of battle sites in the National Parks by Civil War—memento hunters, searching, illegally, for belt buckles and other booty. What's more, and worse because legal, development is pressing hard against the battlefields. "This is the fastest growing area of Virginia," Greene told me, "and a new civil war is now going on between the forces of development and those of preservation."
Greene took me to a nearby Confederate cemetery to dramatize the threat. It was a small enclosure, Sundaymorning quiet, and the high grass lapping at the names of the Carolinians and Mississippians on the headstones made me feel as if I had stepped into the past. I did not try it with my sixyearold, but you could bring a twelveyearold here and from the rusting gate, the canted gravestones, the genteel decay all around, he would sense the venerable emanations, the romance of the Lost Cause, "one of the worst for which a people ever fought," in Grant's words, but one dignified somehow, exalted, by the sacrifices made in its behalf. "See that clump of trees over there?" Greene said, breaking my reverie. The trees adjoined the cemetery, and right there, he said, a developer wanted to put up condominiums. Greene said he realized there were two sides to the thing: people had to have a place to live. Still, this was a palpable wrong: "It will defile what these brave men did here." And it will break the spell of the past forever.
Since the federal government is now all but out of the business of buying up land for federal parks, Greene and some of his historian friends have started a private foundation to prevent battle sites and cemeteries like the one at Spotsylvania from being obliterated or stained by progress. "We've got about ten years left," he said. "If these places aren't saved now, they will be gone in a decade." Readers who want to help preserve our common past should write the Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites, P.O. Box 23, Arlington, Va. 22210.
Grant and Lee, at the close of Spotsylvania, were about halfway through "the forty days"—the period when their armies were engaged some part of every day, Grant losing an average of 2,000 men a day and Lee, who could spare them less, losing fewer. Grant sidling to the left, Lee following, the armies next met at the North Anna River. The site of the standoff that resulted there is not on park property, and the surviving earthworks left by the armies are threatened, I was told, by a neighboring gravel pit whose owner wants to expand his business not only in space but in time as well.
The next fullscale battle came at Cold Harbor, a crossroads northeast of Richmond, which was named after a colonial inn that had provided its guests with a cold hospitality—room but no board. In front of Cold Harbor, on June 3, 1864, Grant attacked Lee's entrenchments straight on, across a sevenmile front. It was one of the greatest infantry charges of the war. It lasted less than a half hour and took more than 7,000 lives. The night before the attack an aide to Grant noticed Federal soldiers pinning notes on the backs of their coats—notes that said, "Here lies the body of . . ." They knew, what to expect. Grant later repented of the attack. Still, in his Memoirs he obfuscated his decision to leave his wounded men unattended between the lines for four days after the battle rather than lose face by asking Lee for a proper truce. "While they lay there," William McFeeley writes, in his sympathetic biography of Grant, "Grant sat down and wrote the most affectionate of fatherly letters to [his daughter] Nellie. She would soon be nine, and he told her he would get her a buggy for the family pony. He simply shut out the horrors for which he was responsible and retreated into a fantasy of comfortable domesticity." Of the hundreds of wounded men left between the lines for the four days, only two were found alive.
Cold Harbor is a National Historical Park today. It's not much to look at—just a row of old earthworks fronting on a clear field of fire. A beautiful wooded glade surrounds the battlefield, but my rambles in the woods were inhibited by the fine print in a park brochure disclaiming responsibility for any damage done to me by "poisonous snakes." Caveat tourist.
Facing another stalemate, Grant shifted his troops out of the trenches at Cold Harbor and, for all that the baffled Confederates knew, into thin air. Lee was in the dark for several vital days as the Army of the Potomac moved not against Richmond but against Petersburg, below Richmond. If Petersburg fell, the supply line to Richmond would be cut. Starved of supplies, Lee would have no choice but to quit his entrenchments and fight it out with Grant in the open.
In the event, Grant managed to get his whole army across the James River (by a 2,100foot pontoon bridge) and to the gates of Petersburg before Lee knew where he was. But dithering by the Union generals charged with making the initial assault on the lightly held Petersburg trenches cost irreplaceable time. Taking advantage of it, Lee was just able to get enough men into Petersburg to cheat Grant of his victory and prolong the war by ten months.
The siege of Petersburg and Richmond that now commenced was a vast undertaking, with the opposing trenches covering nearly thirtyfive miles. Grant's strategy was to exploit his advantage in numbers by slowly extending his lines to the southwest of Petersburg. Lee would be forced to follow suit, and eventually his lines would thin out to the breaking point. To fill those stretched lines, Lee would in time contemplate the desperate step of drafting Negroes to fight in the cause of slavery.
No short article can convey the wealth of Civil War sites in and around Richmond—the visitor should pick up a map to history at the headquarters of the Richmond National Battlefield Park on Chimborazo Hill. The Petersburg National Battlefield takes two hours to tour by car. Its highlights include a remnant of the famous crater left when the Federals tried to blow up a section of the confederate line ("The effort was a stupendous failure," Grant wrote in his Memoirs, using one of his rare adjectives) and the place where Lee mounted his last offensive of the war—a bloody, failed attempt to punch a hole in the Union line.
The city of Petersburg itself is worth at least a day's tour. It boasts a fascinating Siege Museum, where the visitor can gain a vivid idea of what life was like under Grant's guns. In addition, many houses that were damaged by those guns are still standing, among them the house where Grant and Lincoln met on April 3, 1865, just after Lee had pulled out of Petersburg. The owner invited the men into the parlor, but Grant said, "Thank you, sir, but I am smoking," and he and Lincoln stayed on the porch. While they were sitting there, a courier rode up and Grant was handed a telegram announcing that Richmond had fallen.
The house where this historic event took place is today deserted, run down; it borders a tobacco factory, also deserted. Yet it was here that Abraham Lincoln knew what might have been the greatest happiness of his life. Think of it; picture it. Grant opens the envelope and says, "Mr. President, Richmond is ours…. And Lincoln, delivered from his years-long nightmare—how would he react to such news? He had only days to live; this was his blessed moment. That the place where Lincoln's dream came true (Richmond captured, the end of the war at hand) should be a shabby wreck is appalling.
When Grant's sidling to the southwest of Petersburg finally menaced the railroad connecting the city to the remaining Rebel supply depots in western Virginia and North Carolina, Lee had no choice but to abandon Petersburg and Richmond. On forced night marches that left the roads littered with his exhausted men—scarecrows by now—he drove his dwindling army southwestward, hoping to link up with Joe Johnston in North Carolina, and then to turn on Sherman, coming up from the south, before dealing with Grant, coming down from the north. As everybody knows, he didn't make it. Surrounded at the village of Appomattox Court House, he surrendered the remnant of the Army of Northern Virginia to the Army of the Potomac on April 9, 1865.
Every American who has read anything about the Civil War has been to Appomattox in imagination. It is the village of our coming together, the hallowed ground, where, all passion spent, we became the United States. The real Appomattox Court House matched my vision of it; rarely have federal dollars been spent more wisely than to keep it preserved as a nineteenthcentury village. Properly, in my view, the Park Service nowhere mentions that the McLean House, where the surrender took place, was virtually looted by Grant's souvenir-crazed staff after he and Lee had finished with History.
Five days after the surrender, on Good Friday, several hundred miles to the south of Appomattox, a ceremony was held at Fort Sumter to mark the fourth anniversary of its surrender by Union forces under Major Robert Anderson. Lincoln was invited, but he chose to stay in Washington instead—he and Mrs. Lincoln planned to go to the theater. Several thousand people, including many notables, did come to Charleston Harbor for the ceremony, and at the strike of noon they gasped as a sergeant handed Anderson, looking much older than his sixty years, the shot—ripped flag that had flown over Sumter throughout the bombardment that had set off the great war. A young woman from Philadelphia left this picture of the scene as Anderson prepared to run the old flag up over Sumter:
General Anderson stood up, bareheaded, took the halyards in his hands, and began to speak. At first I could not hear him, for his voice came thickly, but in a moment he said clearly, "I thank God I have lived to see this day," and after a few more words he began to hoist the flag. It went up slowly and hung limp against the staff, a weatherbeaten, frayed, and shel-ltorn old flag, not fit for much more work, but when it had crept clear of the shelter of the walls a sudden breath of wind caught it, and it shook its folds and flew straight out above us, while every soldier and sailor instinctively saluted.
The present day isn't just an encroachment on history; since the days of the inn whose limitations gave Cold Harbor its name, accommodations and eating places have no doubt greatly improved. In the Wildernéss Spotsylvania area a historically resonant place to stay is the Richard Johnston Inn, at 711 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg. Built in 1788, the inn offers period rooms at moderate prices ($50 for a single to $100 for a suite), which include a light but savory breakfast. Ask to stay in the "summer kitchen," off the patio: it has a private entrance, a huge fireplace, and a private bath. Just up Caroline Street is Chimney's Tavern, which, like most of the buildings in Fredericksburg, was built in the Colonial era. It serves a mixture of hearty fare, like roast rack of lamb, and the usual contemporary excrescences (did George Washington eat quiche?). In warm weather, lunch is served on the patio, to the pleasing accompaniment of live guitar music.
In Richmond the Jefferson Sheraton Hotel, at the corner of Franklin and Adams, is not another anonymous chain hostelry; though it is in a shabby district, it is a grand hotel, built in 1895 and run as The Jefferson until 1980, when it closed. The Sheraton Corporation took over the hotel, spent five years and $46 million on its restoration, and reopened it in 1986. Singles go for $95 $100, doubles $109$114. A Sunday brunch is served in the Rotunda, a huge marble-columned room. For $16.95 you can eat a whopping meal, drink enough champagne to make you rue that day, and listen to a swing band one-two its way through the great songs of yesteryear. Reservations are a good idea; so is proper dress.
The best meal I had in Richmond was at the Jade Elephant, an unpretentious eatery on Grace Street, near Virginia Commonwealth University. My lunch consisted of Cajun chicken, a fresh salad, good beer, and fine coffee. I spent three hours there, eating, drinking, reading General Grant's Memoirs, and listening to Cole Porter and Gershwin tunes on the sound system.
Any visitor to Petersburg should stay at Mayfield, an elegant eighteenth-century inn just south of the city, on Route 1. Rooms go for $55$80; the rates include a memorably ample and delicious breakfast, served in a lovingly restored dining room with rich painted paneling and an ornate chandelier.
The Radisson Hotel in Lynch burg—which is just west of Appomattox and has more places to stay—is centrally located in Virginia's "Hill City," near historic walks and places (our room overlooked a plaque commemorating the birthplace of Douglas Southall Freeman, the great Lee biographer). Coming back from dinner, my wife, son, and I met Jerry Falwell, whose ministry is located in Lynchburg, crossing the parking lot. He greeted us with a genuinely warm "Good evening!" which booming salutation helped to make it so.

Oh, dear, I am so sorryReplyDelete
Ye gods! Your siding looks great but now the dryer and the gazebo? Today's NYTimes home section had an article about de-haunting your house... maybe you should find it online, Apple ;-]ReplyDelete
Annie at the Transplantable Rose
Oh no! You and John are in the summer tent triangle, I hope it's not ruined! The siding looks great! I bet you will be toasty this winter and having all that sun shine in will be wonderful!ReplyDelete
Looks like you waited one weekend too long. Bummer! Maybe you can find one on sale really cheap? It's possible...ReplyDelete
Maybe you can find someone handy to build you a sunporch that would be a little more permanent. Those lake winds are possibly a bit too rough for the temporary kind.

Happy Mothers Day -- My Umbilical Line
On this Mother's Day I thought it would be fun to post our matrilineal lines, in other words, our lines up through our mothers, and their mothers, and so on.
In the genealogy blogosphere, there's a meme going on this weekend to post about our maternal line, like Randy Seaver has done here.
This, by the way, is where we get our mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA, which is passed in its entirety from a mother to her children. It just so happens that I purchased a DNA test from 23andme.com a few weeks ago when they had their $99 special. Though as I stare at this test kit to spit into, I admit I'm getting cold feet.
Have you had a DNA test of any type for genealogy purposes?
Anyway, here's my line, that I've also posted as a journal here on FamilyTreeCircles.
- Scott JANGRO (that's me)
- [living] BAKER m. [living] JANGRO
- Dora Helen MCILWRAITH (1915-1982) m. Robert Slade BAKER
- Margaret HOURIHAN (1890-1931) m. Robert MCILWRAITH
- Frances Mary LYNCH (????) m. Thomas HOURIHAN
That's it! It ends quickly with the jump to Ireland, which is where the line ends. I don't even have documentation on Frances and Thomas.
This is where I get my Irish and Scottish blood. I wish we had more. Someday I'll make a trip to Ireland
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!
If you'd like to post your own matrilineal line as a journal, just start here.
My Maternal Line, HOURIHAN, MCILWRAITH, LYNCH of Ireland
Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there. I though it would be fun to post my maternal line (however short it is!)
- Scott JANGRO (that's me)
- [living] BAKER m. [living] JANGRO
- Dora Helen MCILWRAITH (1915-1982) m. Robert Slade BAKER
- Margaret HOURIHAN (1890-1931) m. Robert MCILWRAITH
- Frances Mary LYNCH (????) m. Thomas HOURIHAN
I've omitted my parents first names for their own privacy's sake since they're still with us. Though I'm pretty certain that's not difficult information to locate.
My matrilineal line ends very quickly as soon as we make the jump to Ireland (Cork county, I believe). I've got a cousin who's been more vigorously researching this line and he has not uncovered much, unfortunately.
Researching Irish surnames can be quite a challenge. There are a LOT of them here in Boston!
Mayflower Project: The Application Process
As I mentioned in my previous post, I'll be sharing the details of the application process to get my kids into the Massachusetts Mayflower Society. I assume this process is similar for other state Mayflower Societies.
I've got one line documented and approved for my membership, through Stephen Hopkins. There's a person in that line that is a "freebie" to William Brewster, Abigail DOANE. Her father (Israel DOANE) goes to Stephen Hopkins and her mother (Ruth FREEMAN) goes to William Brewster.
Back eight years ago I decided to make the second line to William Brewster official at the same time as getting my daughter Sarah inducted.
When you apply to the Mayflower Society, you're provided with a worksheet like the ones pictured below with the documentation that they have and the documentation that they are missing (and require).
Here's first few pages of the application worksheet that was given to me back in 2002. The historian's note indicated that the Society was now requiring more primary documentation, and she marked each required document with a star.
(later generations omitted to protect the living)
What I thought was going to be merely a formality of updating the latest documents for my daughter turned into having to get death certificates for ancestors back 7 generations well into the 18th century. I also knew from my grandparents research that the town records for Orleans, MA were destroyed in a fire.
My fortitude wasn't enough to take on a project that seemed like I was set up for failure right from the start and I gave up.
Trying Again
Eight years later, much has changed. Hopefully more records have turned up in the Society's library, and if not, at least the amount of information available both offline and online has expanded greatly. So I contacted the Mayflower Society again to inquire about requirements for documenting my Mayflower lines.
The current historian explained to me that they acknowledged that it was just unrealistic to get primary documentation all the way back to the Pilgrims. What they "want" for documentation is not the same as what they will "accept". However, they do require full documentation for the last three generations, including spouses.
He put together a new worksheet for me. Note this one is for Stephen Hopkins and the above one is for William Brewster, but they are the same since generation 7 and 6 respectively.
(later generations omitted to protect the living)
Note that they do now seem to have some additional information for Abigail SNOW, Benoni BAKER, and Vickery BAKER, and he's not asking for the missing death records for Elnatan SNOW and Phebe SPARROW. (phew!)
The wildcards here will be Priscilla WALKER and Joseph BAKER up in Northfield and Brookfield, Vermont. I don't have full confidence in the availability of these records, but this certainly feels more doable.
It looks like a roadtrip to Vermont is in my near future. Fortunately, Northfield is only a three hour drive from my home in MA.
Getting into the Mayflower Society
If I remember the process correctly, there was little to do for my mother who actually took care of the correspondence. My grandfather was in and all we needed to do was provide some easily accessible birth certificates. It took a bit over a year for the actual approval process (I'm not sure why), but there wasn't any pushback that I recall. Just a lot of waiting.
Now I've got children of my own and I'd like to continue the tradition. About 8 years ago I embarked on the same process, (a) to get my daughter (my only child at the time) inducted, and (b) to document a second lineage to the Mayflower passenger William Brewster.
I provided the appropriate birth certificates and submitted the application with the $100 processing fee.
It was rejected!
It turns out that after 20 years, the Mayflower Society has become much more strict in their documentation requirements. The historian returned my William Brewster lineage papers all marked up with red stars where I was missing information. Further, even with my currently documented line to Stephen Hopkins, they cannot be admitted without further documentation.
They require all Birth, Marriage, Death and Divorce records for each person in the line. A tall order.
This was information not required for my Grandfather to get himself and two subsequent generations in. Now I've got three children, and more than ever I want to give them the same gift that my Grandfather gave to us.
It seems that I've got some work to do. And I know from personal experience, and listening to stories, that there are some pretty tough cases in the mix here.
Time has passed, and technology has advanced. We'll see if I can't get the holes filled. Maybe with a little help from my friends here on FamilyTreeCircles, Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere.
Will you follow along with me on this personal project?
I'll be documenting in detail what I am going through. Please follow along and see if you can't help me get through some brick walls as I attempt to complete the documentation of my lines to William Brewster and Stephen Hopkins.
At the very least, wish me luck!

Spike Lee on Who Do You Think You Are?
If you're in the U.S., did you watch this season's last episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" I haven't watched all the episodes yet, but this one, to me, was the most powerful. I guess that's why the saved it for last.
Film-maker and outspoken black-rights advocate, Spike Lee went on a journey to Atlanta, Georgia to learn about his slave roots on his mother's side.
As he uncovered his family history, he was confronted with some very powerful facts and ideas.
His GGrandfather Mars Jackson was a major land-owner after the emancipation, owning over 80 acres. He did not learn of why or how he lost that land.
His GGGrandfather worked in a Cotton Gin that was converted into a pistol factory. He was making pistols that were used against those who were fighting for his freedom.
That same GGGrandfather was taken by none other than General Sherman's army as they razed that town and pistol factory, and likely never heard from again.
His GGGrandmother was "Mulato" and likely the product of her mother being raped by their slave-owner.
He met his current, likely third cousin (twice removed), in real life and they had an emotional moment together on her sofa where they together faced the truths about the things that their ancestors did and lived through.
Thankfully, as far as I know, all of my ancestors were from New England and fought for the Union. I can only imagine how it must feel for genealogy researchers who have roots in the south to deal with the idea that their ancestors, not very long ago, had slaves and in many cases treated and traded them like objects.
As I watched this episode, I couldn't help but sing this verse of Ben Folds' "Rockin' the Suburbs" in my head.
In a haze these days I pull up to the stoplight I can feel that something's not right I can feel that someone's blasting me With hate and bass Sending dirty vibes my way 'Cause my great great great great granddad Made someone's great great great great grandaddy slaves It wasn't my idea It wasn't my idea It never was my idea I just drove to the store For some Preparation H

Starting Over with Reunion for the Mac
Today, I decided to start fresh with my family tree and create a new one that contains only sourced records. I've got a tree that I've been building over the past 20 years that has over 1000 people in it. Big deal, because it is filled with the early mistakes that any newbie family tree researcher makes which is to merge trees from other researchers without regard for accuracy.
With that, I've created a new tree in my genealogy software and I'll be adding people slowly and deliberately, citing sources along the way as I pull the information from the old tree.
I've also purchased a license of Reunion 9 for the Mac (I've switched to a Mac since I've been working on my tree in earnest). It figures, because Ancestry.com just announced FTM for the Mac after all these years.
Literally decades have passed without FTM on the Mac. I purchase software and merely hours later, Ancestry makes that announcement. The story of my life.
That's ok, as a Mac user I'm used to spending lots of money.
Joseph A. Jangro of Florida, MA in 1900.
I found a Joseph A. Jangro in the 1900 census who lived next door to John Jangro (m. Nancy Jangro)
At the time of the 1900 census Joseph A was 48 and he is a widower. He lived with children Aleena Jangro (!5), Mary Jangro (13), Iris Jangro (13), and Nellie Jangro (7).
I don't think I know who this Joseph was. They lived next door to John and Nancy Jangro in Florida, MA in 1900 and both worked on the B&M Railroad. Were they brothers? cousins?
Joseph A. was born in Canada and may have moved down to US not too long prior. The oldest daughter Aleena was born in Vermont in 1884.
There's a Joseph P Jangro from the same western Mass. area born in 1880.
Hattie Rugg
Does anyone know this person?
Her name is Hattie RUGG and it appears that this picture was taken in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
My BAKER line has a dead-end at a BENONI BAKER who married ABIGAIL ADA...
My BAKER line has a dead-end at a BENONI BAKER who married ABIGAIL ADAMS. Benoni was born in Orleans, MA in the early 1860's, not to be confused with the other very well documented Benoni Baker from the same timeframe.
