This year�s Labor Day weekend marks the 150-year anniversaries of two important Civil War events in Fairfax County.
Fairfax County�s only major battle — The Battle of Chantilly or Ox Hill as it was called by Confederates — took place on about 500 acres near the intersection of U.S. 50 and Interstate 66 on Sept. 1, 1862.
In total, about 1,500 soldiers were killed and wounded during the battle.
According to Civil War historian Ed Wenzel, Gen. Stonewall Jackson's corps of the Army of Northern Virginia tried to cut off the Union Army of Virginia and was attacked by two Union divisions. During the battle, both Union division commanders — Maj. Gen. Philip Kearny and Maj. Gen. Isaac I. Stevens — were killed, but the Union attack halted Jackson's advance, ending the Second Manassas campaign. The Second Battle of Bull Run, or Second Manassas, was fought from Aug. 28 to 30, 1862, in nearby Manassas.
Two monuments — one for Kearny and one for Stevens —were erected in 1915, commemorating the battle near where they fell.
�Back in the late 1980s, the county wanted to move those monuments to another location and allow townhomes to be built on the actual battlefield where the generals fell,� Wenzel said. �But we didn�t let them.�
On Saturday, a day-long commemoration celebration of the Battle of Chantilly will be staged at Ox Hill Battlefield Park, 4134 West Ox Road, Fairfax.
Events will begin at 10 a.m. with a presentation of 16 state flags and speeches by local officials. At 1 p.m., the Federal City Brass Band will play period music followed by re-enactors firing rifles and cannons.
At 4 p.m., a laying of wreaths at the monuments of Kearny and Stevens will be followed by more speeches.
Throughout the day, costumed Civil War re-enactors, some on horseback, will be camped at the park. There will be souvenir crafts for children, according to the Fairfax County Park Authority.
Free parking will be provided at the Fairfax County Government Center, with shuttles provided to the park from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, go to www.fairfaxcivilwar.com.
�Fairfax County is what it is today because of the influence of its rich history,� said Fairfax Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield). �These events give us a greater understanding of the county�s role in defining America, as well as history�s role in shaping the county. Hopefully the sesquicentennial events will ignite a renewed interest in our county�s historic heritage.�
On Sunday, a candlelight memorial service for those killed during the he Second Battle of Bull Run will be staged at the cemetery of St. Mary of Sorrows Catholic Church in Fairfax Station, where some of them were buried.
The church — at the intersection of Fairfax Station Road and Va. 123 — became the first Catholic church in Fairfax County when it was officially dedicated in 1860.
Less than a year after the church's dedication, the Civil War came to Northern Virginia.
Given the church's location on the main road from Fairfax Courthouse to the depot of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad — now Fairfax Station — the area, with St. Mary's as an identifying point, quickly became a strategic objective for both Union and Confederate armies vying to overtake the area's railroads.
At the outbreak of the war, both Confederate and Union forces were positioned in the area surrounding St. Mary's.
The Union Army controlled the railroad out to Burke, while the Confederate Army controlled the Manassas area. The land in between, where St. Mary's stood, would become the scene of numerous violent skirmishes.
During the Second Battle of Manassas in late August 1862, the newly-created Union Army of Virginia was met by Confederate forces for a three-day battle that resulted in nearly 25,000 killed and wounded. Many of the wounded Union soldiers from that battle were taken to St. Mary's, which was being used as a Union field hospital.
"Among those caring for the wounded soldiers there was a recording clerk from the U.S. Patent Office in Washington named Clara Barton," said St. Mary's parishioner, historian and Clara Barton impersonator Liz Byrne. "She was from Massachusetts and had heard that many soldiers from her area had been brought there. She wanted to help."
Byrne — an authority on Barton — said Barton didn�t have formal training but had nursed her older brother for two years after a bad fall incapacitated him when she was 11 years old.
She nursed the wounded Union soldiers for the three days and nights of the battle as heavy rains fell and doctors operated in the only dry place available: the church.
According to Byrne, although 20,000 Confederate soldiers began the push toward Fairfax Station, Barton, along with other volunteers and doctors, remained until the last of the 3,000 or so wounded Union soldiers were evacuated. She watched from the windows of the last train headed north as the Fairfax Station depot was set on fire.
Today, controversy still remains as to whether the depot was burned by Confederate or Union troops.
The candlelight commemoration for those soldiers, called �Remembering their sacrifice,� will take place at 8 p.m. at the church cemetery, 5612 Ox Road, Fairfax Station.
The event is sponsored by the Father Corby Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, St. Mary of Sorrows and the Fairfax County Cemetery Preservation Association, Inc.

Sebastian Vettel feels a different kind of pressure since becoming world champion and doesn't believe he is favourite to win in 2013...
Sebastian Vettel has admitted that he feels a different kind of pressure since he won his third world championships and that it might damage his chances of winning another title in 2013...
The young German beat two-time champion Fernando Alonso by a mere three points this year after surviving a shunt on the opening lap at a dramatic finale at Interlagos in Brazil.
Despite being tipped - by Alonso no less - as the favourite to win a fourth crown next year, Vettel maintains that he as well as his Red Bull team will keep up their methodical approach going forward.
"I said after [Brazil] race that the hardest thing is to win after you have [already] won," commented the German.
"You get the attention and the pressure, and you are very likely to focus on how to win again, rather than the small steps [needed] to win in first place.
"Of course there's pressure, [and] on top of that it's always getting more and more tense at the end of the year, within the last couple of races depending on who you fight in order to try to win the championship.
"Obviously we have won the championship [in 2010 and '11] and this year again, so I don't want to praise ourselves, but I think we have done a couple of things right."
After clinching the title at Interlagos, Vettel had to hit back at the 'dirty tricks' that were used against his team over the course of the season. He added that his orderly approach to racing helped him from becoming preoccupied with off-the-track issues.
"It's not our decision or in our hands when other people try literally everything to beat us," he explained.
"There might just be a little bit of a rumour; other things might get said; and other things might happen eye to eye without any words, without you having to mention anything.
"It's not easy to stay focussed in that regard - it's very, very hard.
"Again the most important thing is to focus on yourself and to remain yourself.
"You don't try to be something you are not it just distracts and takes energy away."

While most late-November days are just begging us to stay at home, wrapped up in some serious layers with a cup of hot cocoa (and, if you're anything like us, a
cheesy Lifetime movie), alas, we must venture out sometime. And if there's anything that makes the trek to, well, anywhere a little easier, it's a pair of oh-so-cozy leggings.
They spent a long time as the black sheep of the trouser family, but thanks to the insurgence of on-trend styles (velvet and brocade, anyone?), leggings aren't just our designated weekend loungewear anymore. Put an end to the leggings-as-pants debate (it still rages on) and wear 'em with an oversized cardigan for weekend brunch or get fancy and pair a patterned style with a metallic skirt for a festive go-to holiday outfit.
Here, we pulled together 12 styles that are bound to stay in heavy rotation this season.

Rush Shows Texas-Size Growth
In Texas, everything is bigger, including the growth of Texas Rush.
Under the leadership of Technical Director Don Gemmell, Texas Rush has grown 300% from a fledgling membership of 600 in 2005 to nearly 2,500 members today.
But when Don traded his Michigan snow boots for Texas cowboy boots, he had no idea how big the challenge would be to develop a robust Rush franchise in Texas.
Community Void
The Woodlands, which is a Houston suburb, had a void for teens who wanted to play at all levels of soccer. Traditionally, kids would join 1 of the 2 small clubs when they were young and then transfer to another established and entrenched club about 30 minutes away, especially if they wanted to play competitive soccer.
The formation of Texas Rush changed this dramatically. The 2 small clubs were merged and Texas Rush was born, thereby providing the first-ever opportunity for kids in The Woodlands area to play their entire youth career in the community.
Commitment to Community
"There was not a more challenging geographic area in which to start," Don explained. "Previously the local clubs acted as feeders for the larger Houston clubs, so families didn't have a reason to stay in the community. We wanted to change that and give kids an opportunity to play at any level, and as long as they wanted, right here in The Woodlands area."
The former Michigan State Youth Soccer Director of Coaching stepped up to the challenge by finding an aggressive staff that connected with the local kids. They set out to market and promote the new club by:
- Showing the competitive opportunity available with Rush by starting new Player Development Friendlies
- Getting out the word about Rush by putting up signage and beefing up the Web site with more information about Rush programs and development
- Attracting kids to the club by starting summer and winter-break camps that were previously unavailable in the area
- Offering new competitive opportunities for the older boys with the U.S. Soccer Development Academy and ECNL for the older girls, making Texas Rush the only club in Houston to have both
- Developing sponsorships so the staff could spend more time coaching
- Establishing opportunities for players of all levels and interests to participate from recreational to special needs, competitive and everything in between
Expanding Horizons
It's a good thing Texas Rush has a professional office with administrators and a remarkable group of coaches to assist with the growing club, especially since the goals are to double the club membership by 2018 and to continue to make the Rush experience accessible to all.
"We have a tournament every summer with 200 teams," explained Don. "Every nickel goes toward scholarships for kids who cannot afford to play."
With a local club that has a heart – and development program -- the size of Texas, The Woodlands' kids and parents can stay right in their community and get a great soccer experience right on their doorstep.
Texas Rush Highlights
Texas Rush has a long list of accomplishments, including:
- Membership growing from 600 to nearly 2,500 in just 7 years
- Teams earning league and tournament championships
- Drafting of Texas Rush U.S. Development Academy players in the 2013 MLS draft
- Competitive players earning scholarships and joining collegiate teams
- Members being named to state and regional ODP teams
- Former players recognized on the National Soccer Coaches of America Association's All-American team
- Players earning spots on Rush Select teams
- Developing the 3v3 Winter Blast tournament with 180 teams

Ana won an extraordinary match against world No.8 Angelique Kerber in Dubai. She triumphed 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6) in exactly two hours, winning on her fourth match point.
With the most topsy-turvy of victories, Ana moves into the second round of the Dubai Duty Free Championships, where she will meet six-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams on Wednesday.
Ana led 2-0 early on before Kerber asserted her authority and clinched the opening set. The German hit virtually every ball to Ana's backhand, but it was often sensational, and where possible she got into position to hit some screaming forehands.
Such tactics enabled Ana to level the match at a set apiece, but she fell 2-0 behind in the third set. However, Ana then won three straight games to go ahead 3-2, before earning a 6-5, 0-40 lead (three match points).
When Kerber saved them all, and then recovered from a 5-1 deficit in the tiebreak to earn her own match point, Ana looked an unlikely winner, but she composed herself brilliantly to achieve a thrilling win.
"It was such an exciting match," said Ana, who hit 43 winners and 44 unforced errors against a player who competed in the Doha final last week.. "It could have gone either way and I'm just so happy to be through.
Looking ahead to tomorrow's match against Williams, whom she beat in the Auckland final last month, Ana said: "She's such a great champion and a great player. It's going to be such a tough match but I'm really looking forward to it."
"Matches like this really give you confidence and courage. You guys (the crowd) really helped me a lot. Thank you."
Ana will take on WIlliams sometime after 3.30pm local time on Wednesday (12.30pm Central European Time; 6.30am Eastern Time).

WASHINGTON – The nation's top military leaders told senators today that commanders should retain responsibility for prosecuting service members accused of sexual assault.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Navy Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr., the vice chairman, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that taking that authority away could harm good order and discipline.
Dempsey and Winnefeld are under Senate consideration for second two-year terms in their posts.
Keeping commanders in the process ensures there is an active deterrent to the crime, Winnefeld said. "Somebody who is contemplating a sexual assault knows that they're going to be caught, that they're going to be prosecuted, and if they're prosecuted, they're going to be punished," he said. "It's our strong view that the commander is responsible for that."
Dempsey told the senators that Army officials have looked at the numbers on sexual assault prosecutions over the past two years and found 35 cases in which civilian district attorneys refused to take sexual assault cases to court.
"And the chain of command in the military insisted that the case be taken inside the military chain of command," he said.
Of those cases, 25 resulted in a court-martial conviction.
"That's a 71 percent conviction rate," the chairman said. The civilian rate is between 18 and 22 percent.
Dempsey stressed that this was done because commanders insisted on taking these cases. "I worry that if we turn this over to somebody else, whether it's a civilian DA or an entity in the military, that they're going to make the same kind of decisions that those civilian prosecutors make," he said.
Commanders must be responsible for ensuring the command climate does not tolerate sexual assault in any manner, Winnefeld said.
"It's about teaching people what a heinous crime this is," he added. "It's about reporting it if you see it. It's about intervening if you see it about to happen — a whole host of measures that commanders must take to establish the climate inside their commands."
The Marine Corps also had examples similar to the Army, the admiral said. The Marine Corps went back to 2010 and found 28 cases in which civilian prosecutors declined to take the case.
"Of those, 16 of them, the Marine Corps was able to obtain a conviction of court-martial — 57 percent," Winnefeld said. "So those are 16 perpetrators that are no longer walking the street and 16 victims who received justice who would not have received it otherwise."

Scapa 175 Cloth Tape is constructed from cotton cloth and has natural rubber adhesive coated on one side. Common applications of the tape include motor coil winding and such bundling applications as harness wrapping. The specialty cloth tape is also used in finger taping, in electrical applications, and in applications where high tensile strength is not a requirement. The tape is on a 3 inch diameter core, has a total thickness of 10.5 mils, its adhesion to stainless steel is 32 ounces per inch and its longitudinal tensile strength is 36 pounds per inch.
Another popular option is the JVCC VEPT-65 Vinyl Electroplating Tape. The tape is mostly used as a soft polyvinyl chloride (SPVC) masking tape. It has PCB terminal zone contacts that are important in preventing chemical penetration in the plating process. It is suitable for shot peening applications since the tape is resistant to alkalis, acid, and oil. The tape has rubber adhesive and it has a total thickness of 6.8 mils. Its longitudinal tensile strength is 16 pounds per inch and its adhesion to stainless steel is 17 ounces per inch.
Yet another specialty tape option is the JVCC DVT-76 Dry Vinyl Tape. This is a non-adhesive tape that is set on PVC (plasticized polyvinyl chloride) film. It is characterized by high elongation (260%) and strength. It is usually used for trouble-free binding of wire harnesses for the automotive industry.

Coal gasification
The arrival of a new power plant and a coal gasification plant in the early 1980s brought a rebirth for Beulah, ND. The dwindling town of 1,200 exploded with growth, eventually settling in with a population of about 3,200 and nearly doubling its physical size. The distant plumes from the gasification plant and neighboring power station are an ever present reminder of the source for this growth.

El Nino and La Nina are the two most powerful weather phenomena on the planet and are known to alter the climate across more than half the planet! El Nino is the warming of water in the Pacific Ocean, determined by a comparison of average water temperatures over several years. If the ocean between the coasts of South America-Peru, Ecuador, Columbia-and the middle of the ocean toward the Date Line is warmer by 2-10 degrees F, we know that an El Nino is here. La Nina, officially called ENSO, is the cooling of water in the Pacific Ocean. El Nino and La Nina may alternate between every other year and every three years, so that the time from one El Nino to the next tends to be every three to seven years.
The tremendous phenomena of El Nino, known for its warming effect on the water in the Pacific Ocean is likely caused by underwater volcanic activity. El Nino weather can include rain and flooding along the Pacific coast, tornadoes and thunderstorms in the southern U.S., and fewer than normal hurricanes in the Atlantic. The warm waters of El Nino are also known to disrupt the food chain of fish, birds and sea mammals. During an El Nino, an increased dryness can occur in areas typically saturated with rainfall between November and March in the western Pacific over Indonesia and northern Australia. On the flip side, other areas such as Peru and Ecuador see an increase in rainfall. In fact, the El Nino was discovered in Peru by fishermen who noticed that every three to seven years, there was an increase in rainfall.

La Nina happens about half as often as El Nino. During a La Nina, winter temperatures in the U.S. are warmer than normal in the Southeast and cooler than normal in the Northwest. La Nina, known for its cooling effect on the water in the Pacific Ocean, can include weather like snow and rain on the west coast, unusually cold weather in Alaska, unusually warm weather in the rest of the U.S., drought in the southwest, and a higher than normal number of hurricanes in the Atlantic.

The reason there are fewer hurricanes during El Nino, despite warmer waters, can be explained by the jet stream, or a long, narrow, wandering current of high speed winds blowing from a generally westerly direction several miles above the Earth's surface. El Nino tends to suppress the formation of hurricanes by steering the subtropical jet stream into the hurricane's path and effectively cutting off the tops of the hurricanes with its strong winds, preventing them from growing any bigger. During a La Nina, on the other hand, the jet stream works in the advantage of a forming hurricane, allowing them to grow with ease and great intensity.

Will 'E-Cigs' Put Traditional Smokes Out of Business?
I used to smoke! It all started back when I was a young teen, and the addictive habit continued to dominate my life until 1984, when I found out my bride, Shirley, was pregnant with our son, Wes. That's when I decided to quit--cold turkey

Here's hoping that we have a Word expert here at DC. Or at least more expert than I!
Is there any way to get a list into a table in Word? I have Office 2003 on my desktop and Office 2007 on my notebook, so replies regarding either are fine with me. I want to know how I can copy a list - of sentences, of phrases, of words; whatever the case, but a text-based list - and either paste that list directly into a table, or paste the list onto a new page and then somehow format the list so that it becomes a table. Just a simple table; it can be one column wide or more, and as many rows as the list is long. BTW, if there is a way to do this in OneNote 2007 that would be just as welcome!
This is not for a specific project, but for any old time. There are so many times that I copy a list from a web page or from another application and I want to put the contents into a table. And right now the only way I know to do that is to paste the list into OneNote or Word, create a table, and then move each single, stinking, rotten word or line into its own cell. Sometimes I highlight and then drag-and-drop each piece of text, and other times I copy and paste them. And it is maddeningly slow, time consuming! Occasionally pasting the entire list into a table column works, but most of the time the entire list squashes into one cell instead of filling the column. Blah! I keep thinking that there must be a way to do this; I can't believe that everyone goes through this terribly slow process of cut/paste, cut/paste over and over again like me. I would guess that a macro could be recorded or written to do this but my own attempts at it have failed.
So if anyone knows how to get a list into a table quickly and easily, please do tell!

Tel Aviv, Israel's cosmopolitan coastal city, is the second largest city in Israel. Situated on the Mediterranean coastline, Tel Aviv is the country's academic and cultural center and economic hub. The city epitomizes a culture that is both ancient and modern in unique and complex ways. Tel Aviv is at once Mediterranean and Middle Eastern, it is a dynamic global city with all the international and cultural influences this status entails.
It is one of the world's most important and closely-watched global cities, ranking third after Tokyo and Paris as the city with the most news agencies. From their base in Israel, journalists cover the entire Middle East. Tel Aviv has the world's largest number of bio-tech start-ups per capita, and the second largest (after the US's Silicon Valley) concentration of high tech firms.
Tel Aviv boasts some of the Mediterranean's best cultural institutions, restaurants, and recreation. Three of the largest cultural centers in Israel are located in Tel Aviv: the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Diaspora Museum, and the Eretz Israel Museum. There are many world-class museums and galleries, a vibrant intellectual scene, as well as the site of cutting-edge theater and dance. In addition, opera and classical music performances occur daily.
The architecture of Tel Aviv is quite unique with buildings representing such styles as Ottoman, Levantine, Bauhaus, and Modern. Tel Aviv is a World Heritage site for having the densest concentration of Bauhaus architecture in the world, some 1,500 buildings.
Tel Aviv has a diverse population representing nationalities from the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Tel Aviv averages more than 300 sunny days a year! Consequently the beaches are very popular. Summers along the Mediterranean are typically hot with pleasant springs and autumns, and cool, wet winters. In winter, temperatures seldom drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and daytime in summer is often about 80 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.
Walking is one of the best ways to get around Tel Aviv, since the city is small and incredibly flat. In addition, you can rent a bicycle or take the bus. The Dan Bus Company has many bus lines around Tel Aviv and nearby areas.
