The Southern Sierra. Mt. Whitney seen towards right side of the middle in the panoramic.
Several times I gazed out the window of my car at Mt. Whitney and the mountains of the Southern Sierra. I had often asked myself, "What if snowboarding Mt. Whitney was a possibility." What began as a question while driving Highway 395 quickly grew to a reality last season. With the right crew of friends and a few other splitboard/snowcamping excursions, we were prepared to embark on a most adventurous snowboard mission, to splitboard and ride Mt. Whitney; the lower 48 state's tallest mountain.
The photo gallery below is a behind the scenes look at TWS's January issue that features"Range of Light, A Splitboarding Adventure to the Tallest Peak in the Lower 48-Mt. Whitney" Pick up the January issue to read the full story on page 166. Other must-see features in the issue are based on India, Japan, and our annual Interview Issue.

A HUGE thanks goes out to The North Face for their well designed tents, packs, sleeping bags, and camping booties. Without their support, we would have froze our asses off.
Voile-USA for their innovative spiltboard kits, interface systems, and sticky skins. These products made a splitboard missions a huge success.
And to Burton Snowboards for the chance to enjoy their S-Series splitboard…they've been involved in splitboarding since the beginning.
Especially to Leeward Cinema: Chris Edmands, Kyle Schwartz, & Jason Logan. These shredders: Josh Dirksen, Chad Otterstrom, Lucas DeBari, Eric Leines, Forest Shearer, and Ben Lynch. And our friends that joined us: Canyon and Carlos Florey, Pancho, Matt Swanson, Matt Miller!!! 14 of us on the lower 48's tallest 14'r!

You can also download the fitting instruction by clicking on the PDF What are wall stickers and what are they made of? They are made from a very thin, strong matt self adhesive vinyl. This gives them the appearance of a stylish, hand-painted mural. Do wall stickers stick to all wall surfaces? They are best stuck to any smooth flat surfaces, such as plaster walls, glass windows, mirrors, tiles etc. If walls are too rough, such as textured walls, then the sticker may not stay applied. I've just painted my wall. Can I stick my wall sticker on straight away? You should wait at least 4 weeks before you apply your sticker. This will ensure your paint is totally dry so you can get the best possible results. However, all paint is different, so this is only a guide. Can I take my wall sticker down and use it somewhere else? Wall stickers are not reusable. Removing a sticker can cause it to stretch out of shape, meaning it won't be suitable for reuse. Are the wall stickers supplied in one piece? Most of our wall stickers come in just one piece. Some larger stickers may come in several pieces, to make fitting easier. Can I use wall stickers in my bathroom? Yes, for best results, your walls need to be dry when you apply the sticker and free from steam. Applying your wall sticker at least 3 hours after you've bathed or showered. How do I remove wall stickers? Remove your sticker very slowly and gently - if they are ripped off and not gently eased of the walls then damage can occur. A hairdryer on a very low setting can help soften the adhesive of a more stubborn sticker and assist with removal.

Stanczyk is very old … My portrait by Jan Matejko dates back to 1862 alone. So perhaps you can forgive me if I blog about an antiquarian notion today … BOOKS. First off, I hope everyone had a Blessed and Family/Food Filled Thanksgiving Holiday (4th Thursday in November in the USA).
As I was saying I want to write about books today. I provided a handy photo for the reference of my younger readers who may need a refresher on the concept. Before you run off … Here's my list:
No Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble today, although they are worthy purveyors — nor will I speak of Antiquarian Books, though I reserve that topic for another day.
Google Books (books.google.com/books) – I adore to find public domain books or snippets of books under copyright that I can search and perhaps get at least a snippet view of my search topic. Google now lets you keep the public domain books on their "Cloud" (no space on your hard disk). At present, my Google eBooks include:

Elaine H. Fielder, 88, of Talent, passed gracefully on to her next journey on Nov. 19, 2012, surrounded by her family.
Elaine was born March 8,1924, in Pasadena, Calif. to George and Helen Hunt. She grew up in Southern California, and went to high school in Marin County. Elaine graduated UCLA and USC, where she earned her master's in social work. She was active in the Civil Rights Movement and cared deeply about equality and dignity for all people. Elaine served many people in her role as a psychotherapist, both in private counseling and as a group leader in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Southern Oregon. She facilitated women's groups, prosperity consciousness, and Painting From Within classes, to name a few. As a Universal Life minister, Elaine joyously officiated at the weddings of many friends, including her son and daughter. She was an avid reader, always furthering her understanding of psychology and the expansion of human consciousness. She encouraged people to be true to themselves and do what makes them happy. Elaine was still counseling clients up until a week before her departure.
A beloved mother and grandmother, Elaine was very devoted to her family. She was a font of love and positivity. She was known for her generosity of spirit; graciousness; her accepting, supportive way with others; her optimism and encouragement; joy, playfulness, and sparkle; and independence. She was passionate in her love of jazz and jazz musicians. A true people person, Elaine loved visiting and hugging all her friends in town. She was a light and inspiration to many.
Elaine is survived by her daughter, Ann Fielder, of Talent; son, Chris Fielder and daughter-in-law, Marianne Cane, of Leonia, N.J.; grandchildren, Mariah Fielder, Alex Webb, and Dan and Brian Fielder; and brothers, George, Gordon, and Peter Hunt.
There will be a celebration of life jazz party at the Ashland Community Center in March, date to be announced. Memorial contributions may be made to one of the many charities Elaine gave to: The Jazz Foundation of America, medical care for uninsured musicians, Heifer International, or Amnesty International.
We are forever grateful for the time we had with you!

It's a whole lot easier to read and understand your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN), thanks to a recently completed redesign. You'll see a brand new format when you check your MSN at MyMedicare.gov.
MyMedicare.gov gives you faster access to your Medicare claims information—you can check it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Customize your MSN to see procedures broken down by single claim, or by a time period you choose, and print out your own statement anytime. Reviewing your MSN online means a shorter wait to see what you were charged for health care services, medical supplies or equipment, and how much Medicare paid.
We want the MSN to be something that makes it easier for you to find and understand your Medicare claims information. We spent more than a year improving it. We did one-one-one interviews and focus groups with people like you, and used their feedback to improve the design and language.
As a recent joint Kaiser Health News / Washington Post article pointed out, we've also redesigned the MSN to make it easier for you to help us prevent fraud and find billing errors. Did you know you could get a reward of up to $1,000 for a tip that leads to uncovering fraud? Remember, you're our best defense against fraud, so check your MSN for services or items you didn't get. Here are some of the improvements you'll see in your new MSN:
- Larger text size and wider spacing to make reading easier
- Plain, concise language you can understand quickly
- A "snapshot" of
- how much of your Part A or Part B deductible you've paid so far this year
- the providers you saw during the reporting period
- whether Medicare approved all your claims
- Brief descriptions of your medical procedures
- Easy-to-understand definitions for terms you might not know
- A checklist to help you make sure you're getting the most from your Medicare
- Information on how to report fraud, preventive medical services, and important Medicare reminders
- Easy instructions for how to file an appeal
You'll start seeing these changes in early 2013 in the mailed copy of your MSN, but why wait? Visit MyMedicare.gov and start using the newly redesigned MSN online today.

What is Congress' problem?
I feel as though I'm on the deck of the Titanic and our legislators are bickering over the proper arrangement of the chairs — each with a different formation in mind, strongly justifying his or her own special plan, and making no progress.
Help! Does anyone need a lifeboat? I have the feeling we're sinking, considering all the squabbling that's taking place.
Let's rescue ourselves by reaching out to our elected officials on such issues as campaign reform, gun control, fraud, waste, influence by lobbyists, infrastructure priorities and immigration reform.
We need to be proactive.

PITTSBURGH — The campaign corruption case against suspended state Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin and her sister and a suspended aide is one of family ties becoming "criminal ties," a prosecutor said Friday in closing arguments.
Allegheny County Deputy District Attorney Lawrence Claus said it was understandable that aide Janine Orie and a third sister, then-state GOP Sen. Jane Orie, would support Melvin's Supreme Court campaigns in 2003 and 2009, when she was still a Superior Court judge.
But the sisters crossed the line by conspiring to misuse Melvin's state-paid court staffers and Jane Orie's Senate staff for political work, Claus said.
"That's taking family ties too far," Claus said. "That's not what the law allows."
Attorneys for Melvin and Janine Orie say prosecutors haven't proved the illegal campaign work, largely because all the witnesses agreed that Melvin's staff did their judicial work and did it well.
"If all this is true, and they were unanimous in saying that, how could there have been this campaign work to the degree they say it was going on?" argued James DePasquale, Janine Orie's attorney.
Melvin's attorney, Patrick Casey, agreed: "Joan Orie Melvin got the work done, she served her job, she ran her campaign with political professionals, and she paid for it with private funds."
Casey also argued that two key prosecution witnesses "lied" when they testified about key documents, though Claus claimed the witnesses "misspoke."
The jury began deliberating Friday.

The last few days, I've been itching for a new jersey. I was sure that I would have had one by now but I'm still cool with my Trufant Authentic Jersey that I got a few years ago. As Christmas passed, I figured I'd just wait and buy one before the first Playoff game.
So my girlfriend tells me today about how she's waiting for the rest of my Christmas gift. It's supposed to get here in the mail soon. The first part of the gift was, "Light & Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page." Needless to say, I was psyched about that.
So she hints at me about how my other gift is something I've wanted for a long time. Something I specifically told her to get me. The first thing that comes to my mind "A Seahawks jersey!?" She smiles and says maybe and then confesses to buying me a Seahawks jersey. So I ask her "which one? what player?" She replies with "the grey Browner." So I'm going nuts right about now! For those who don't know, I'm a HUGE Brandon Browner fan. He's one of my favorite Seahawks and I've wanted his jersey all season long. Despite his suspension, I still love the type of aggression and ruthlesness that Browner brings to the game. Russell's quick on his heels for my favorite Hawk, and favorite athlete, at that. I'll quit it with the Browner bromance but for those who want more blatantly homerish Brandon Browner love, here ya go.
So my girl pulls up the link of the jersey she got me and much to my astonishment...
So I'm sittin there, trying to act like I love it and it's perfect, but I can't hide it. She realizes this and goes "it's not the right one, huh?" I tell her that I've never seen this jersey before and then show her the proper wolf grey. Some of you will get a kick out of this because she looks at it and yells "that's not grey! That's off white, that's a bad laundry job!" It was pretty damn funny.
So I call upon you, my wise sages. I've gotta send this back, right 12's? If I sent it back ASAP I'd probably get it before the first playoff game. Do I stick with my gut and go with Browner? Do I go with blue instead of the grey? Russell Wilson maybe? I wanted to get a unique jersey that not too many people would have. I liked the wolf grey Browner jersey a little more because of that.
I've even thought about getting a Sweezy or Moffitt jersey. I'll keep you guys posted on what goes down.

ROME — Experts say they've discovered how to rescue Nero's underground Golden Palace from further decay and eventually reopen the ruins of the ancient emperor's entertainment complex to the public: uproot the trees in the park above it.
Archaeologists and restoration experts said Wednesday that research, including digital simulations, aimed at solving the Domus Aurea's chronic humidity problems indicates that removing the trees will help prevent further damage. Currently tree roots and rainwater sink into the walls, damaging frescoes and causing parts of the ceiling to fall off.
"It's a radical choice, but we have to do it," said Fedora Filippi, director of the restoration effort. "It's either the roots or the Golden Palace."
She said flowers, which have less-invasive roots, could be planted after the trees are removed.
Also being developed is a system to expel humid air, as well as a three-layer drainage structure to prevent water infiltration.
The nearly 2,000-year-old structure under the Oppian Hill was opened with much fanfare in 1999 after being closed for nearly two decades for fear of collapse. Visitors could explore Nero's pleasure-playground, including the maze of passageways lined with frescoes that had inspired many Renaissance artists some 500 years ago.
But persistent structural problems continued to threaten the ceilings. The palace has remained closed since 2010 after a huge chunk of its vaulted ceiling collapsed.
Budget-strapped Italy hopes that a new law giving generous tax breaks to those funding restorations will help pay for at least some of the 31 million-euro ($42 million) project.

This article was written for Encyclopedia Virginia, and is reprinted with its permission.
Robert Edward Lee was a Confederate general during the American Civil War (1861–1865) who led the Army of Northern Virginia from June 1862 until its surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. Descended from several of Virginia's first families, Lee was a well-regarded officer of the United States Army before the war. His decision to fight for the Confederacy was emblematic of the wrenching choices faced by Americans as the nation divided. After an early defeat in western Virginia, he repulsed George B. McClellan's army from the Confederate capital during the Seven Days' Battles (1862) and won stunning victories at Manassas (1862), Fredericksburg (1862), and Chancellorsville (1863). The Maryland and Pennsylvania campaigns he led resulted in major contests at Antietam (1862) and Gettysburg (1863), respectively, with severe consequences for the Confederacy. Lee offered a spirited defense during the Overland Campaign (1864) against Ulysses S. Grant, but was ultimately outmaneuvered and forced into a prolonged siege at Petersburg (1864–1865).
Lee's generalship was characterized by bold tactical maneuvers and inspirational leadership; however, critics have questioned his strategic judgment, his waste of lives in needless battles, and his unwillingness to fight in the Western Theater. In 1865, his beloved home at Arlington having been turned into a national cemetery, Lee became president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in Lexington. There he promoted educational innovation and presented a constructive face to the devastated Southern public. Privately Lee remained bitter and worked to obstruct societal changes brought about by the war, including the enfranchisement of African Americans. By the end of his life he had become a potent symbol of regional pride and dignity in defeat, and has remained an icon of the Lost Cause. He died on October 12, 1870.
Early Years
Lee was born at Stratford in Westmoreland County, the youngest son of Henry Lee III and Ann Hill Carter Lee. His birth date traditionally has been considered to be Jan. 19, 1807, but Lee's writings indicate he may have been born the previous year. Called Robert or "Bob" by his family and friends, and signing himself "R. E. Lee," he never used the moniker "Robert E. Lee," which was a product of wartime news reporting. Both of Lee's parents were raised in prominent Virginia families. Henry Lee distinguished himself in the American Revolution (1775–1783), fighting under generals George Washington and Nathaniel Greene. As leader of a light partisan unit, he earned the nickname "Light-Horse Harry" and was commended for valor by the Continental Congress. After the Revolution he served as a congressman (1799–1800) and governor of Virginia (1791–1794).
In peacetime Henry Lee steadily lost money and reputation because of unwise land speculation. He was sent to debtor's prison while Robert was still an infant. In 1813, badly beaten by a political mob, and dodging his creditors, he skipped bail to sail for the West Indies. Robert never saw his father again.
Now dependent on the generosity of their kin, the family moved to Alexandria. Robert attended a relative's plantation school and the Alexandria Academy, where he was given a classical education. His boyhood was enriched by a supportive and engaging extended family and academic success, but pinched by poverty and his mother's failing health.
Misfortune again touched Robert's life in 1821 with a scandal involving his half brother. Henry Lee IV shocked Virginians by seducing his young ward—her name was Elizabeth "Betsy" McCarty and she was Henry IV's sister-in-law—embezzling her inheritance, and possibly murdering their child. Believing this disgrace would lead to social isolation, Robert convinced his mother to let him join the army.
Family and Military Life
Lee entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., in 1825, where he excelled both scholastically and militarily. Admired for his geniality and fine presence, he was appointed cadet adjutant. However, he was unable to best Charles Mason, a talented New Yorker who took top honors academically, and who, like Lee, boasted a demerit-free record. (Mason went on to become chief justice of the Iowa Supreme Court.) Lee graduated second in the class of 1829 and joined the Corps of Engineers.
Two years later Lee wed Mary Anna Randolph Custis, the witty, artistic great-granddaughter of Martha Washington. The couple had seven children, to whom Lee was powerfully attached. He also became increasingly tied to the Custis family seat at Arlington, with its splendid grounds and historical associations. In Lee's uncertain army life, Arlington became an important anchor.
For seventeen years, Lee worked to strengthen the nation's frontier defenses. Assigned throughout the country, he redirected rivers, designed coastal fortifications, and surveyed newly acquired territory. In the army Lee was known for his sociability and attention to detail, but called himself "an indifferent engineer." Opportunities for advancement were meager and the work required extended absences from his family. Lee considered leaving the service virtually every year. "I would advise no young man to enter the army," he regretfully admitted in a letter to his wife.
The Mexican War (1846–1848) disrupted the routine of army duty. Though Lee did not approve of the war, he relished the opportunity for action. For several months he laid out transportation routes, but early in 1847 he was put on the staff of General Winfield Scott. Lee admired Scott's ability to overcome disadvantage by what the general termed "headwork," by which he meant outthinking the enemy, planning precisely and reacting to crises intellectually and not emotionally. In addition, Scott depended heavily on his young engineer for reconnaissance and tactical planning. Lee fought with distinction at battles such as Vera Cruz (March 1847), Cerro Gordo (April 1847), and Chapultepec (September 1847). He received two brevet promotions for his performance at Cerro Gordo. Scott would later call Lee "the very best soldier I ever saw in the field." Although the Mexican War gave Lee valuable battlefield experience, he did not lead troops or design strategic campaigns in this conflict.
After the war, Lee returned to structural engineering until 1852, when U.S. Secretary of War Jefferson Davis appointed him superintendent of West Point. Lee had not wanted the post and found it stressful. He was a careful steward of the academy, but found little opportunity for innovation. His rigid belief in the virtue of "duty" was not appreciated by the cadets, among whom he was unpopular. One notable contribution was his focus on equestrian instruction. Under Lee's leadership some of America's greatest cavalry officers were trained, among them J. E. B. Stuart, Fitzhugh Lee, and Philip H. Sheridan.
In March 1855, Lee eagerly accepted a lieutenant colonelship in the newly established 2nd U.S. Cavalry. Assigned to Texas, his unit was responsible for subduing the Comanche and chasing Mexican banditos. It proved a difficult posting. Lee found the work frustrating, and the isolation and harsh landscape oppressive. His beloved mother-in-law and favorite sister died early in the 1850s, causing him to embrace a somber brand of evangelical Protestantism, which left him dejected and self-critical. When his father-in-law, George Washington Parke Custis, died in 1857, Lee willingly returned to Arlington to settle the estate.
The Politics of Slavery
As Custis's executor, Lee found himself confronted with the political reality of slavery. He disliked the institution—more for its inefficiency than from moral repugnance—yet defended it throughout his life. Custis, however, had liberated his slaves in a messy will that stipulated that they be released within five years. Lee interpreted this to mean that the slaves could be held for the entire period. The slaves, believing they were already free, accosted Lee and escaped in large numbers. Lee responded by hiring out many Arlington slaves, breaking up families that had been together for decades. He then filed legal petitions to keep them enslaved indefinitely. Only when the courts ruled against him did Lee finally free the slaves.
Lee was again exposed to the volatile politics of slavery when ordered in October 1859 to suppress an attempted slave insurrection led by the radical abolitionist John Brown at Harpers Ferry. Commanding a small detachment of marines, Lee led a model operation in which none of Brown's hostages was injured, and Brown was taken alive. The ramifications of the disturbing incident were reinforced when Lee witnessed Brown's ominous predictions of the bloodshed to come, and stood guard at his execution.
The Union Divides
The malaise over slavery followed Lee when he returned to full-time duty in February 1860. As acting head of the Department of Texas he refused to allow that state's secessionists to wrest federal property from him. As the crisis deepened, however, his thinking became increasingly conflicted. Although he did not believe in secession, he also declared that if "the Union can only be maintained by the sword & bayonet … its existence will lose all interest with me." He particularly hoped that Virginia would remain in the Union so that his various loyalties—to country, army, state, and family—could remain intact. Recalled to Washington, he was promoted in March 1861 to full colonel by the new U.S. president, Abraham Lincoln, and once again swore an oath of allegiance to the United States. A few weeks later, Lee was forced to confront his ambivalence when Virginia seceded and he was offered command of Union forces recruited to protect Washington, D.C.
Mary Lee later called the moment "the severest struggle" of her husband's life. Faced with a divided family and the collapse of his career, Lee paced and prayed for two days. On April 20, 1861, he resigned from the U.S. Army, telling friends that he could not participate in an invasion of the South. A few days later he accepted command of Virginia's forces.
As general, Lee was first assigned a desk job, where he undertook a methodical organization of Virginia's forces. Finally given a field command in western Virginia, he was "mortified" when Union Gen. William S. Rosecrans defeated him at Cheat Mountain in September 1861. Jefferson Davis relieved Lee and sent him to oversee the construction of fortifications along the Carolina and Georgia coasts, then returned him to an advisory position. Although frustrated, Lee later benefited from the connections he built with political leaders in the Confederate capital at Richmond.
On June 1, 1862, Lee began his celebrated relationship with the Army of Northern Virginia when Davis ordered him to temporarily replace Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines during the Peninsula Campaign. Lee's immediate task was to check the advance of Union Gen. George B. McClellan, whose Army of the Potomac was threatening Richmond. Devising a strategy that combined bold field maneuvers and defensive earthworks—the latter led to some calling him the "King of Spades"—Lee confronted McClellan from June 25 until July 1 in the Seven Days' Battles. His men decisively won only one of the contests—Gaines's Mill—and the plan suffered from overly complicated movements as well as poor communications. Nonetheless, by relentless fighting and skillful use of terrain, Lee was able to frighten McClellan away from the Confederate capital.
The Seven Days' Battles previewed much of Lee's battlefield style. They allowed horrific casualties—at Malvern Hill, the Army of Northern Virginia lost 5,300 men killed, wounded or captured in a fight that included a massive assault that gained nothing—but showcased Lee's expert use of entrenchments, and how he exploited opportunities through improvisation and sheer brio. The victory also inspired his men, who rallied to their new commander with an esprit that would last throughout the war.
The Golden Year for the Confederacy
After the Seven Days' Battles, Lincoln placed John Pope in command of a new Army of Virginia, consisting of three corps that already had performed poorly against Confederate Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign (1862). Rightly suspecting that he might now face both McClellan's and Pope's armies, Lee initiated an aggressive campaign. Under his orders, Jackson confronted Union Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks at Cedar Mountain on Aug. 9, 1862, to win a narrow victory. Ignoring conventional wisdom, Lee then divided his force, tricking Pope into chasing Jackson, who faked a retreat. After a dramatic march, Jackson lured Pope's overconfident army into a fierce battle at Manassas Junction on Aug. 28. The following day, Lee's other wing commander, James Longstreet, brought up his men to rejoin the two corps in the heat of fighting—an immensely difficult battlefield maneuver. On Aug. 30, Longstreet hit Pope's vulnerable left flank, crushed the Union force, and chased them to the horizon. (The three-day battle has come to be known as the Second Battle of Manassas.) Jackson followed the retreating Union troops, but was halted at the Battle of Chantilly on September 1.
Critics complained that Lee took too many risks on the campaign, that luck and Pope's ineptitude rather than Confederate skill held it together, and that the days had again been shockingly "sanguinary." Yet the boldness of his actions had given Lee the momentum. In the coming months his agility and elusiveness continually "baffled" superior Union forces, often turning their offensive drives into desperate defensive stands.
In this spirit Lee undertook an invasion of Union territory, a move that was popular with the public and the troops. Lee wanted to spare Virginians the ravages of two armies and he was anxious for his men to live off Maryland's greener pastures. He and Davis hoped that if the war directly threatened Northerners it would create a political crisis that could topple the U.S. government and attract foreign assistance to the South. They also thought that slaveholding Maryland might be "liberated" and brought to their side.
But the arduous march north was poorly outfitted, and the men arrived in Maryland weakened by hunger and diminished by a high rate of desertion and straggling. (By some estimates Lee lost a third of his army.) Greeted without the expected enthusiasm, for the first time they suffered the disadvantage of being on hostile territory. The invasion had been a high-stakes gamble, but Lee increased the odds against him by again dividing his army, despite his officers' skepticism. Jackson's corps was sent to take logistically important Harpers Ferry, and the rest faced McClellan's advancing men. The two armies clashed at South Mountain on Sept. 14, where Lee was able to delay, but not defeat, the Union forces.
Three days later they met again near the town of Sharpsburg, Md. McClellan, who had accidentally intercepted Lee's campaign plans, also had an advantage in artillery and men. But the Union effort on Sept. 17 was badly executed and its numerical superiority never fully exploited. Lee was able to thwart disaster by adroitly shifting forces to meet each of the violent contests that raged along Antietam Creek. At the end of the bloody day, however, the Union held the advantage.
Lee saved his army by deftly retreating across the Potomac River, and a brief fight at Shepherdstown helped convince McClellan not to pursue him. Though the campaign featured a victory at Harpers Ferry and some impressive tactical parrying, Lee had achieved none of his strategic objectives. In addition, Lincoln used his advantage to wrest the moral high ground from the South, issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, and effectively collapsing the possibility of foreign assistance to the Confederacy.
Lee's army re-established its formidable reputation at the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862. This time the Confederates faced a Union contingent a third again its size, under Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside. Concentrating his forces, and establishing positions that took full advantage of the weaponry of the day, Lee allowed the Northern men to fruitlessly attack his defensive strongholds on Marye's Heights, slaughtering thousands. The Union army survived by escaping across the Rappahannock River, but the defeat badly strained Northern morale.
Early in 1863, Lincoln again changed generals, placing the Army of the Potomac's military machine under Joseph Hooker. Hooker believed he could trap Lee by attacking him simultaneously from several directions. Facing a Union force double his size at a crossroads called Chancellorsville, west of Fredericksburg, Lee again precariously divided his army. Over the course of the fighting, which lasted from May 1 until May 6 and included another Union charge up Marye's Heights, Lee was able to squeeze the Union forces from two directions and then reunite his troops. The Confederates captured the most favorable artillery positions, launched a devastating barrage, then pressed the attack until Hooker had to pull back. Through surprise and daring, Lee had turned a vulnerable defensive position into a brilliant tactical offense.
Even the Union prisoners cheered when Lee rode in front of his troops in this moment of triumph. Yet in many ways it was an empty victory. More than 20 percent of his soldiers lay on the gory fields, or were maimed or missing. Stonewall Jackson, wounded accidentally by his own men, died on May 10. Lee himself complained that "our loss was severe, and again we had gained not an inch of ground and the enemy could not be pursued."
Lee risked his scarce resources in such large and costly battles because he hoped to destroy the enemy's army—or to discourage Northerners so profoundly that they would demand an end to the conflict. In each contest he attacked with ferocity, hoping for a final annihilation of the Union forces. In addition, much of the Southern public was buoyed by theatrical successes such as Chancellorsville and anxious for quick victory. But this Napoleonic style of warfare was less effective against improved weaponry and technology, such as railroads, that allowed troops to be easily reinforced. Even the fanatical Confederate Edmund Ruffin noted that such "great & bloody battles" led to "no important results whatever, except to damage, weaken & impoverish both the contending powers." Later historians have also questioned Lee's strategy and debated whether the Confederacy might have been more successful in a war of attrition, wearing down the North by using irregular tactics on the difficult Southern terrain, much as Washington and Lee's own father did against the British.
Gettysburg to the End of the War
Lee's reputation had now grown to the point that he and his army had become a major source of national unity in the Confederacy. Civilians as well as soldiers looked to him for leadership and inspiration, rather than to Davis's problematic government. With his authority at its height, Lee convinced Confederate officials to approve another northward excursion. Always reluctant to fight on fronts not directly related to Virginia's defense, he argued against sending his men to reinforce besieged Vicksburg, Miss. In June 1863, after reorganizing his army, he moved up the Shenandoah Valley (where he fought and won the Second Battle of Winchester), through Maryland, and into Pennsylvania. Lee welcomed the fresh foraging, and again hoped to cripple Union morale by delivering a knockout punch that would win peace on Confederate terms.
The battle that resulted was fought at Gettysburg for three days from July 1 until July 3, 1863. The first day's contest began as an incidental cavalry encounter and escalated as both sides augmented their forces. By evening, Lee's men—including forces under Confederate Gens. A. P. Hill, Richard S. Ewell, and Jubal A. Early—had driven their opponents outside Gettysburg, but the Union troops made a prescient decision to retreat to high ground south of town. Lee also recognized the value of these heights and ordered Ewell to take a critical rise called Culp's Hill, but he failed to provide Ewell with either the precise instructions or the reinforcements needed to gain a success.
The next day, Lee determined to attack the Northern forces, despite the misgivings of his lieutenants, including Longstreet, in particular. He had two serious disadvantages. Under Gens. George G. Meade (who had taken command of the Army of the Potomac a few days earlier) and Winfield Scott Hancock, the Union line had been strengthened overnight by entrenchments and an ingenious fish-hook formation that allowed for easy reinforcement of its weaker sections. Lee's second problem was a lack of information. Cavalry Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, who served as the eyes and ears of Lee's army, was absent (with Lee's approval) on an extended expedition, foraging and harassing Union troops away from the front lines. Lee had hoped for an early morning attack on both the Union right and left flanks, but the shortage of reliable intelligence caused delays, misguided marches, and unexpected exposure to Union fire. Despite spirited fighting by Longstreet's corps at critical spots such as Little Round Top and Devil's Den, the Union line held.
The following day, Lee stubbornly continued his attack. Confederates nearly seized Culp's Hill but fell back when Union troops rallied in a do-or-die defense. Late in the afternoon, Lee ordered a massive assault against the Union center, again overriding his subordinates' objections. Poorly organized and facing formidable defensive works, the 12,500 men in Pickett's Charge were repulsed at tremendous cost. As the routed Confederates streamed back to their lines, Lee acknowledged his responsibility. "It is all my fault," he told his shattered men. The next day he began a tortuous ten-day retreat to Virginia, and, to Lincoln's chagrin, was able to salvage his army.
Lee hoped to recoup the Army of Northern Virginia's pride that autumn during the Bristoe Campaign, but Meade refused to be enticed into another major engagement, and the Confederates had little success. Still determined to "strike them a blow" Lee eagerly awaited the spring season, undaunted by the appointment of Ulysses S. Grant as general-in-chief of Union armies. Grant, the victor at Vicksburg, came east to lead the Army of the Potomac personally.
What ensued was the Overland Campaign, some seven weeks of brutal, relentless fighting. The armies first met on May 5 and 6, 1864, in the scrubby woods, known locally as the Wilderness, near the old Chancellorsville battlefield. Lee knew his resources were too limited to force Grant back to Washington, D.C., but he had not expected the Union to push onward after its appalling casualties in a stalemated contest at the Battle of the Wilderness. Some of the heaviest fighting of the war took place the following week near Spotsylvania Court House, particularly around a Confederate breastwork known as the Bloody Angle. Lee, outnumbered two to one, was able to hold his own through swift tactical maneuvering and his forceful personal role in rallying the ranks. Still, Grant edged southward. Lee forestalled the drive when on June 3 the Union flung itself against the zigzagged Confederate fortifications at Cold Harbor, suffering 7,000 casualties, many of whom fell in an ill-conceived assault. Nonetheless, Grant continued the forward movement, maneuvering past Lee a few weeks later and into a siege at Petersburg.
Lee's inspirational leadership of his soldiers was notable throughout the war, but in this campaign it became legendary. The men looked up to Lee because of his splendid bearing, his courage on the field, his fair dealings, and his willingness to share their hardships. He also led them to victory, and to many he became the embodiment of the Army of Northern Virginia's alleged invincibility. During the campaigns of 1864 he was conspicuous on the field—rallying the troops, directing battle maneuvers, plugging gaps, and sometimes acting more like a brigade commander than the general in charge. This hands-on role is one reason Lee was able to frustrate Grant's powerful machine for so long. It also reinforced his soldiers' worshipful regard. "You are the country to these men," General Henry A. Wise reportedly told Lee at the end of the conflict. "They have fought for you."
Diminished by some 35,000 casualties during the Overland Campaign—the most famous of whom, J. E. B. Stuart, was killed at the Battle of Yellow Tavern—the Army of Northern Virginia held on in miserable trench conditions for nearly nine months. Always a reluctant politician, Lee was unable to wrest critical supplies from the Confederate authorities. His army quashed a Union attempt to exploit the huge explosion of a mine dug under its fortifications at the Battle of the Crater on July 30, 1864, but various efforts at offensive action failed. After a final repulse at Fort Stedman on March 25, 1865, Lee's defeat was only a matter of time. Hoping to move the remnant of his army southward to join Joseph Johnston's troops, Lee signaled Davis that Petersburg and Richmond must be abandoned. On April 6, during the Appomattox Campaign, the Confederates suffered a costly defeat at Sailor's Creek, which left them desperately short of men and supplies. Cornered, Lee surrendered on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House. "I fought the enemy at every step," he told a confidant in what amounted to a final assessment of his war efforts. "I believe I got out of [my army] all they could do or all any men could do."
Later Years
Despite his defeat, Lee was hugely admired in the postwar South. Counseling his soldiers to return home peaceably, Lee showed by example how to accept loss with dignity. The war had taken a terrific personal toll on the Lees: death had claimed numerous family members and Arlington had been confiscated for use as a national cemetery. Penniless, Lee accepted an offer to be president of Washington College, a small, nearly destitute school in Lexington. His stated goal was the instruction of the rising generation and the rebuilding of his state. Lee proved to be an able educator, though he did not relish the work. He added practical subjects such as engineering and journalism to the traditional classical studies, attracted funding from both the North and the South, and introduced a rigorous disciplinary code. Publicly he counseled Southerners to face the future with stoicism and hard work.
Privately, he was far from content. Although Lee was granted parole at Appomattox, his personal fate was uncertain until his citizenship was returned with the amnesty of 1868. After this time, though still maintaining a low public profile, he worked to establish a conservative state government, wrote angry private diatribes against the principle of majority rule, and advocated disenfranchising the newly liberated African Americans. Racial conflicts also plagued Washington College, to which he responded ambivalently. He considered writing his memoirs but decided they could become provocative and edited his father's reminiscences instead. Saddened and embittered, Lee told a friend that the "great mistake" of his life had been "taking a military education." Lee died of a probable stroke on Oct. 12, 1870.
The South went into universal mourning and Lee became a charismatic symbol of honor and sacrifice in the region. In the 19th century, proponents of the Lost Cause view of the Civil War used both myth and fact to mold a public image of Lee as a titan of personal virtue and military genius. Early in the 20th century, several national figures, including U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, praised him as a unifying personality, citing his efforts to pacify the South after the war. Recent scholarship has more closely probed Lee's motives and battlefield decisions, as well as his support for a racially stratified society. Since his decision to withdraw from the Union in 1861, his actions have provoked controversy. Yet Lee remains a significant historical figure, whose importance lies as much in the questions he prods Americans to ask about patriotism and loyalty as it does in his battlefield prowess.

Quick: What does "concurrency" mean to you? To your colleagues? To your project?
You probably know the fable of the blind men and the elephant: Several blind men explore an elephant by feel, and each one draws his own conclusion about what the elephant is. The man at the tail concludes that the elephant is like a rope; the one at the tusk asserts that, no, the elephant is like a spear; the one at the leg thinks it's like a tree; the one at the ear that it's like a fan; and so on. The blind men argue, each one knowing he is "right" from his own experience and point of view. In time, several give up hope of ever agreeing on what the creature is, and some resign themselves to accepting that the best they can do is deeply analyze each disconnected part in isolation as its own separate self. Meanwhile, the poor elephant waits patiently, faintly puzzled, because of course, it is not like any of those things alone and it doesn't see itself as that hard to understand as a whole creature.
Have you ever talked with another developer about concurrency, and felt as though you were somehow speaking completely different languages? If so, you're not alone. You can see the confusion in our vocabulary (and this is not an exhaustive list):
acquire, and-parallel, associative, atomic, background, cancel, consistent, data-driven, dialogue, dismiss, fairness, fine-grained, fork-join, hierarchical, interactive, invariant, isolation, message, nested, overhead, performance, priority, protocol, read, reduction, release, structured, repeatable, responsiveness, scalable, schedule, serializable update, side effect, systolic, timeout, transaction, throughput, virtual, wait, write,...
Some of the words have many meanings (performance, for instance), while others are unrelated (responsiveness and throughput, for example). Much of the confusion we may encounter arises when people inadvertently talk past each other by using incompatible words.
A basic problem is that this shouldn't be a single list. But how can we group these terms sensibly, when experienced parallel programmers know scores or hundreds of different concurrency requirements and techniques that seem to defy grouping?

text: Heavy bodied midrange. I have a max weight Z Zombee. I throw RHBH. This is a great midrange into the wind. The big body seems to cut through the wind. With a tail wind it is just the opposite I find, as it nosedives into the ground. One of the heaviest bodied discs I ever threw, the flight path is slightly, and predictably overstable. When it is really windy I bring it to the course.
