Battle of Westport: Memory and Legacy
On October 21-23, 1864, a Confederate army led by General Sterling Price clashed with its Union counterpart commanded by General Samuel Curtis. The immediate results of this large-scale battle, called by some the "Gettysburg of the West," were a decisive Union victory and Price's ignoble retreat from Missouri for the remainder of the Civil War.
Daniel Smith takes a ground-level look at this epic battle, as well as its lasting legacy, and asks: what does it mean, and why does it matter today? As area groups gear up this year to re-enact the Battle of Westport, Smith explores earlier efforts by participants and successive generations to remember and commemorate this significant historical event.
Smith, an attorney for the Overland Park firm of Ankerholz and Smith, serves as the chairman of the Monnett Battle of Westport Fund, whose mission is the battlefield's preservation and interpretation.

Frank Kameny Fired From Government Job for Being Gay: 1957. Frank Kameny was a World War II veteran and Harvard-trained astronomer working for the Army Map Service. In Eric Marcus's compendium of oral histories, Making History, Kameny described the events that led him to a lifetime of LGBT advocacy:
When I was on assignment in Hawaii in November or December of 1957, I got a call from my supervisor in Washington, D.C., to come back at once. I told him that whatever the problem, it could wait a few days, and I returned to Washington at the end of the week. As soon as I got back, I was called in by some two-bit Civil Service Commission investigator and told, "We have information that leads us to believe that you are a homosexual. Do you have any comment?" I said, "What's the information?" They answered, "We can't tell you." I said, well, then I can't give you an answer. You don't deserve an answer. and in any case, this is none of your business." I was not open about being gay at that time — no one was, not in 1957. But I was certainly leading a social life. I went to the gay bars many, many evenings. I've never been a covert kind of a person, and I wasn't about to be one simply because I was working for the government. I've never been one to function on the basis that Big Brother may be looking over my shoulder.
So they called me in, and ultimately it resulted in my termination. They did it the way the government does anything: They issued a letter. They said they were dismissing me for homosexuality. I was in shock.
…Keep in mind I had been training all of my life for a scientific career, for this kind of occupation. I was not at all familiar with the job market. When I was thrown out, I had nowhere to go. Perhaps if this had happened five or ten years later, I would have had a professional reputation to fall back on, but in this case I didn't. For a long time I applied for jobs in astronomy, but there was nothing. Ultimately, in 1959, I got a job doing something in physics. My bachelor's degree is in physics, in the area of optics.
But meanwhile, I had decided that my dismissal amounted to a declaration of war against me by my government. First, I don't grant me government the right to declare war on me. And second, I tend not to lose my wars.
Kameny launched a string of appeals, first through the Civil Service commission itself, then through the courts. He took his appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court — writing his own brief (which is available here) declaring the discrimination he experienced "a stench in the nostrils of decent people, an offense against morality, an abandonment of reason, an affront to human dignity, an improper restraint upon proper freedom and liberty, a disgrace to any civilized society, and a violation of all that this nation stands for." The Supreme Court denied his petition in 1961.
Kameny went on to co-found the Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C., which in 1963 launched a long campaign to overturn sodomy laws. He participated in the very first picket line in front of the White House on April 17, 1965. He was also an instrumental player in the fight to remove homosexuality from the American Psychological Association's list of mental disorders. In 1971, he became the first openly gay candidate for the U.S. Congress when he ran for D.C's non-voting Congressional delegate. In 1975, the U.S. Civil Service Commission notified him that they had changed their policies and were now allowing gay people to work in federal jobs (see July 3). In 2009, the U.S. government officially repudiated Kameny's firing when John Berry, the openly gay Director of the Office of Personnel Management, delivered a formal apology during a special OPM ceremony in his honor. Upon receiving the apology, Kameny tearfully replied, "Apology accepted." He passed away this year on October 12 at the age of 86.
Vermont Supreme Court Rules State Must Recognize Same-Sex Unions: 1999. In a unanimous decision, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled that the state must provide the same benefits, protections and obligations to same-sex couples as it does to heterosexual couples. The Supreme Court left it up to the legislature to decide how it would end the discrimination, either through marriage or through civil unions. Most state political leaders opted for the latter. State Attorney General William Sorrell, predicted, "It would likely be a civilly sanctioned relationship that would, for all intents and purposes, have the benefits and protections a traditionally married couple would have but wouldn't be called a marital relationship. They wouldn't be called spouses, they'd be called domestic partners, and for a number of people, that makes an enormous difference." Gov. Howard Dean concurred, saying that same-sex marriage "makes me uncomfortable, the same as anybody else." Beth Robinson, the lawyer for the winning plaintiffs, dismissed that idea and pressed for full marriage. "The Legislature will come to understand that as a practical matter, you can't call it something different and have it be truly equal."
As it turned out, it would take another decade before the Legislature would come to that understanding. On April 26, 2000, Gov. Dean signed the state's Civil Unions bill into law. It took effect on July 1, 2000. In 2009, the Vermont legislature revisited the issue again and passed a same-sex marriage bill with bipartisan support, only to see it vetoed by Gov. Jim Douglas (R). The legislature then overturned the governor's veto, and same-sex marriages finally became available in the Green Mountain State on September 1, 2009.

Marcus Bachmann promises campaign against gay Americans

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for "cross-gender disturbance" in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation's embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that "[Paul] Cameron's 'science' echoes Nazi Germany." What the SPLC didn"t know was Cameron doesn't just "echo" Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution's architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a "plausible idea" in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day "Love Won Out" ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.
Prologue: Why I Went To "Love Won Out"
Part 1: What's Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With "No Exceptions"
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the "Dutch Study" to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins' Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family "Research" Council.
The FBI's annual Hate Crime Statistics aren't as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Whether it's a technical handbook on how to improve your racing line or a creative examination of the hobby we love, these are our favorite automotive reading materials.
Whether you're looking for technical instruction, historical documentation, or just a really compelling car story, these are the required texts of the automotive hobby.
Any automotive reading list must contain R&T's Peter Egan. His monthly Side Glances column was insightful, inspiring, and often hilarious. Anyone who's taken a disastrous road trip, restored a cantankerous old basketcase, or simply admired the beauty of a well-designed automobile will find something to relate to. Volume One covers Egan's columns from 1983 to 1992.
Volume Two of the Side Glances series covers Egan's columns from 1992 to 1997, including some of his most hilarious material. Like "Ace Mechanic, Car Detective," or the deeply relatable "How to Tell When It's the End of the Racing Season."
Volume 3 of the series includes Egan's columns from 1998 to 2002, and also offers some of Egan's most noteworthy feature-length R&T articles: "By the Time We Got to Woodstock," from the November, 1998 issue, and "Rectified Spirits," published in September, 2000.
Puzzlingly, the fourth and final volume of hardbound Egan columns is titled simply "Side Glances." But this book covers the most recent of Egan's R&T columns, spanning from 2002 to 2006. It also includes Egan's April Fools road test of a Zamboni from 2005, and the delightful road trip story "A Jaguar in Moose Country," where Peter and wife Barb drove his recently-restored Jaguar E-Type as far north into Canada as the road would take them.
Perhaps the most trusted driving technique handbook ever published, Speed Secrets is the first of master instructor Ross Bentley's series on how to improve your driving. More than just a handbook on where to brake and how to turn, it's a guide for preparing yourself mentally, physically, and financially for the world of racing, either as a hobby or a career.
Stick with me on this one. This is a fiction novel, told from the point of view of a dog named Enzo. Sounds crazy, but it works. Enzo witnesses his owner's journey through love, heartbreak, fear, and redemption. You don't have to love cars to love this story—but it's chock full of details to make a gearhead grin.
This is the fascinating story of Tire Rack founder Peter Veldman, who came to the US shortly after WWII, fought in the Korean War, and worked lots of jobs before becoming a tire giant.
This is one of the coolest automotive books to come out this year. It's a beautifully put together look at the life and work of Erich Strenger, Porsche's in-house graphic designer and photographer from the early 1950s to the late 1980s. There's tons of full-color posters and Christophorus covers reprinted here that Porsche geeks will love.
Road & Track's longtime European Editor Paul Frère wrote one of the definitive books on how to drive fast. This, along with Ross Bentley's Speed Secrets, is essential for anyone looking to get into racing, or just trying to be faster and safer at their local track days.
Tons of racers have written autobiographies, but few are totally essential, like Jackie Stewart's. Besides being a triple world champ, Stewart has been a longtime advocate for increasing safety in motorsports, so his perspective is enlightening.
In his far-too-brief career Mark Donohue was The Man in US motorsports. He won the Indy 500 and totally dominated both Can-Am and Trans-Am driving for Roger Penske. He was also a brilliant engineer who knew how to get he most out of a car, so his insight is fascinating.
Richard Porter was the script editor for Top Gear and currently works on The Grand Tour. This look inside Top Gear is incredible fun to read and a real insight into the most successful motoring show the world has ever seen.
We're suckers for a visual history of the automobile, and this collection is one of the best out there.
Have a kid? Want that kid to love cars? Then this classic from Richard Scarry is required reading.

|Overdosing on Gabapentin
|Off-label Use
Curious whether someone can get a Gabapentin high? Are you wondering what happens if you mix Gabapentin and alcohol, if you snort Gabapentin, or smoke Gabapentin? Here's all you need to know about getting high on this drug, how it's used, and whether or not you can overdose on it and more.
The anticonvulsant medication Gabapentin, approved as a supplemental treatment for epileptic seizures and neuropathic pain caused by shingles, has come under increasing scrutiny for abuse and misuse. Healthcare professionals, along with law enforcement officials and state and federal legislatures, have started the debate about whether the Drug Enforcement Administration needs to schedule gabapentin as a controlled substance.
Coming in at number 24 on the list of the 25 most prescribed medications in the United States, according to Forbes, Gabapentin prescriptions are up a staggering 58.38 percent since 2010.
- Gabapentin is not a narcotic. It is a prescription medication used to treat epilepsy and chronic neuropathic pain caused by amputations, diabetes, shingles, and other conditions. In the U.S., it's also marketed under the brand name Neurontin, Gralise, and Horizant.
Gabapentin helps to regulate the release of the neurotransmitter called glutamate, which in turn calms down excited nerve cells in the brain – this can reduce neuropathic pain, seizures, and restless leg syndrome.
Does Gabapentin Get Someone High?
Can you get high on Gabapentin? The answer is a qualified "YES".
According to researchers in the U.K.,
- "Unfortunately, our clinical experience suggests that gabapentin is now prevalent as a drug of abuse…"
Gabapentin is not scheduled as a controlled substance currently because when taken as prescribed, it will not make you high. Individuals who do report getting a Gabapentin high report feeling;
- "euphoria, improved sociability, a marijuana-like high, relaxation, and a sense of calm"
The effect of this drug varies widely between users. Some recreational Gabapentin users report feeling no effects whatsoever from Gabapentin, while others have negative experiences that include headaches, nausea, anxiety, rashes, and trouble urinating.
- Gabapentin was made a Schedule 5 controlled substance in Kentucky effective July 1, 2017
Gabapentin High As Recreational Use
Users report that to get high on Gabapentin, they need to take doses that are significantly greater than the therapeutic, medically-approved maximum daily dose of 3600mg taken orally, divided into 3-1200mg dosages for treatment of severe epileptic seizures.
"Unfortunately, our clinical experience suggests that gabapentin is now prevalent as a drug of abuse," writes lead author Blair H. Smith in The British Journal of General Practice. The study, supported in part by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, charted a rise in the number of patients in primary care that admit to misusing or abusing gabapentin, which sometimes goes by the name "gabbies" on the street.
On its own, the medication has shown little potential for abuse. This is one of the reasons that the gabapentin has stayed under the radar and remained off the federal drug schedule.
Continued research, though, shows that mixed with other drugs, gabapentin can have the potential for illicit abuse.
The effects of the drug vary from person to person, depending on an individual's psychiatric history, past drug usage, dosage and a number of other factors. Evidence suggests that when misused, gabapentin can bring about some of the following:
- Relaxation and a sense of calm
- Improved sociability with others
- Marijuana-like high
- Feelings of euphoria
- Psychedelic-type experiences in much larger doses
These seemingly enjoyable side effects can turn on users. There are many reports that abusing gabapentin can also lead to zombie-like states. A growing number of emergency rooms across the country have started scanning for gabapentin, in addition to other drugs, on patients admitted to the hospital for an overdose on unknown substances.
Smoking & Snorting Gabapentin
While it's technically possible to crush up Gabapentin tablets and smoke it or snort it, recreational Gabapentin users for one simple reason rarely do this – it doesn't work. Gabapentin is dispensed in a tablet, capsule or suspension (like cough syrup) because the active ingredients are metabolized in the small intestine. If the drug doesn't pass through the digestive system, it will not be absorbed into the body.
Gabapentin High – Benzodiazepines & Opioids
Because Gabapentin suppresses nerve pain, essentially calming users, it's often abused alongside of opioid painkillers, like oxycontin, oxycodone or Vicodin. Benzodiazepines, such as Xanax or Alprazolam, medications prescribed for anxiety have also been popular with recreational gabapentin users.
- The use of gabapentin as cutting agent in heroin has also spiked.
It's important to note that misusing gabapentin, opioids or benzodiazepines, alone or in combination is extremely dangerous. As the British Journal of General Practice study reports, "Like opiates, gabapentin is fatal in overdose; unlike opiates, there is no antidote…" In other words, Narcan, used to revive patients suffering an opioid overdose, will not work if the opioid is mixed with a sufficient amount of Gabapentin.
Can You Overdose on Gabapentin?
Recreational Gabapentin use is widely considered to be 'safe' by users because the chances of overdosing are low when compared to other drugs.
It's important to note than most adult medical users of Gabapentin take much less than the approved daily maximum – for example, people who take Gabapentin for nerve pain should take no more than 1800mg daily, while adults being treated for restless less syndrome take no more than 600mg of time-released Gabapentin (known as Horizant) each day.
That's not to say it's not possible to OD on Gabapentin – in one case, a 62-year-old woman was deemed to have died due to "intentional ingestion of excess Gabapentin" during an autopsy, and a number of other deaths have been linked to Gabapentin overdose. This could be partially because taking high doses of Gabapentin can cause users to feel suicidal.
What Happens If Gabapentin and Alcohol Are Mixed?
Mixing alcohol with Gabapentin is risky for Gabapentin users because both alcohol and Gabapentin cause sedation, loss of balance, and a suppression of brain activity.
Taking high doses of Gabapentin with alcohol can result in unpleasant symptoms like nausea, dizziness, skin rashes, headaches, and erratic blood sugar levels. Drinking alcohol and taking Gabapentin can also make users feel anxious, agitated, and in extreme cases, experience seizures.
Off-label Use of Gabapentin
Despite the federal Food and Drug Administration's approval for Gabapentin as an epileptic and neuropathic painkiller for shingles, many physicians prescribe it for other conditions. This practice, known as an off-label prescription, is not illegal. However, it can be problematic because there's often little to no data suggesting the drug is effective for other uses.
Some of off-label uses are for conditions such as the following:
- Depression
- Migraines
- Fibromyalgia
- Bipolar disorder

Ash from the 2,568-meter (8,425-foot) Mount Asama was falling on the northern side of the mountain, the agency said. The eruption was relatively small in scale, and didn't register strongly on seismometers.
The agency said the volcano is covered by thick clouds, making it difficult to observe any smoke billowing out, but noted there haven't been any reports of serious explosions involving the spewing of pyroclastic rocks.
It was the volcano's first eruption since May 2009, a representative for the agency said.
Japan has seen a string of volcanic eruptions in recent months. In May, an "explosive eruption" from Mount Shindake on the small southern island of Kuchinoerabu sent smoke and ash 9,000 meters into the air. The island's 137 residents were evacuated as a precaution.
In September, Mount Ontake erupted in central Japan, killing more than 50 people.
Japan has 110 active volcanoes, defined as those that have erupted in the past 10,000 years or have shown signs of emitting vapor or gas, according to government data.

The Audi A3 is scheduled to be released to the public very soon, but spy photographers have been able to capture the 3-door model going through snow handling testing. A cabriolet, hatchback, sedan, and sport wagon are all set to be on display at the Geneva Auto Show which will play as the official host for the A3 family tree. Unfortunately, if you are from the United States, only the A3 sedan will be set for the US marketplace. This means that those US people hoping to get their hands on the hatchback will have to take an extended stay over in Europe to be able to get their hands on one.
One of the immediate notices of the new A3 sedan is that it has a very nice new front end. It, of course, contains stepped headlights, and the traditional Audi's stable trapezoidal grille. The rally-style lights that is displayed in the spies pictures are nice to look at, but not expected to be included with the production model of the Audi. The previous A3 was very nice to look at, had a popular appearance with the loyal customer base, and they have decided to stick with a similar appearance. This seems to be a happy response from those hoping to buy one of the new A3's.
Several Choices to Choose From
While the A3 doesn't have a huge impact in its appearance, there are still going to be several options to choose from and one of Audi's large focuses this go around is its fuel mileage and its improved handling. You can actually go with a aluminum and lightweight steel package. What this allows is that you are going to receive those benefits of improved handling and better gas mileage.
For the A3 sedan that is going to be available in the United States market, you will find that it is offered in either gasoline or diesel with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder motor. Front-wheel drive and 6-speed manual shifting models will be available as well. Audi has announced this year that they felt that the interior needed a facelift. Therefore, expect to see higher quality material used throughout the interior.

***DISCLAIMER***I try to refrain from frequent oversharing of medical, personal, or just gross things about my baby or family. I also try to realize when things are boring or irrelevant to anyone other than my family.
This is not that. Like the book says,
Not only does everyone poop, but nearly everyone will find themselves at a point in life when they will be responsible for someone else's poop, even if just once, and by accident.
Before I had a child, the only practical thing that worried me about being a parent was dealing with gross diapers. I'd never changed a baby before, and I've almost thrown up on dogs when cleaning up their poop, so my track record wasn't too great.
As I found out (and shared), newborn poop is a wonderfully succint, odorless, tar-like substance not unlike marmite, the Aussie's preferred toast condiment. Not much to look at, but comes in a neat little package, and above all, really easy. After the first few days when the marmite poop goes away, it shifted color and consistency, but still not much odor to speak of, and even that was more like a musty attic than what I categorize as poop. Weird, but still OK.
That blissful time in life is thanks to my lovely wife and her breasts. Specifically, the milk from said breasts that fed my child a form of nutrition her body was able to nearly completely digest, thus leaving very little in her poop that might smell.
I love science. At least when it works for me.
Sadly, supply and demand haven't been in lockstep over the last few weeks, and we had to add in baby formula to satisfy the hungry beast. They say that stuff has gotten to be really good and nutritious, all that. Awesome, glad to hear it. Baby's growing like a weed, all is well.
Except, remember science?
Yeah, with the start of things-other-than-breastmilk comes poop-that-looks-and-smells-awful-and-like-poop. With this experience, I feel like I have a little more insight into Adam & Eve's story, knowing what it was like to experience sin entering the world.
I've already thrown away outfits. I've retched and scared my baby (no actual vomit yet, thankfully).
Yesterday's outing started out like this:
We were still out, however, when the floodgates opened. In the back of the Subaru (which is thankfully made of rubber and can be hosed), we ran through all our wipes in the World Market parking lot.
People stopped and offered their knowing little "I've been there, but my foggy memory of 30 years ago makes me think I handled it sooo much better than you are" smiles and comments. My favorite lady ended our little interaction with "Treasure all these moments!" to which I responded, "You're not the one cleaning this up!"
I ran back in the store to find some paper towels. Not one to pass up a moment to use a funny pseudo-word, I quickly found an employee:
"Excuse me - I have a.....shituation, shall we say, in the parking lot, and need a bit of back-up."
Slightly confused, blank stare. If my wife weren't elbow deep and trying to do damage control, I'd have waited for that statement to sink in a bit longer, but instead, I mumbled something about a baby and paper towels. Came back, cleaned up what we needed to, and still went out for Chinese.
Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
It's the end of an era. The end of innocence, in a way. I was right; diapers are awful. The first six months lulled me into a false sense of security, and then it all came at me, hard and fast and awful. I'm thinking, toilet trained by 9 months. Tops.
After all, how hard could it be?

Hospital visitor
From a jam.
Editor's note: Do you need something to smile about? Every day, WND selects the best joke offered up by readers and contributors to its Laughlines forum and brings it to you as the WND Joke of the Day. Here is today's offering:
While visiting my sister in the hospital, I stopped in the cafeteria for breakfast. I put a piece of bread on the moving toaster rack and waited for it to pass under the heated coils and return golden brown.
Instead, it got stuck at the back of the toaster and I couldn't reach it. The woman next in line quickly seized a pair of tongs, reached in and fished out the piece of toast. "You must be an emergency worker," I joked.
"No," she replied with a grin. "I'm an obstetrician."
Got a great joke you want to share with the world? Write it up in the WND
Laughlines forum. Who knows? It might be selected as the WND Joke of
the Day – and your wildest dreams will come true.
