Cobb's Legion

Cobb's Legion (also known as the Georgia Legion) was an American Civil War unit that was raised on the Confederate side from the State of Georgia by Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb during the summer of 1861. A "legion" consisted of a single integrated command, with individual components from the infantry, cavalry, and artillery. When it was originally raised, the Georgia Legion comprised seven infantry companies, four cavalry companies, and a single battery. The concept of a multiple-branch unit was fine in theory, but never was a practical application for Civil War armies and, early in the war, the individual elements were assigned to other organizations.

Brazil forces take over Rio slum
The army in Brazil is to take on peacekeeping duties in the poor areas of Rio de Janeiro, which saw a week-long stand-off between security forces and drug dealers last month.

Soldiers will patrol the Alemao and Penha districts to ensure hundreds of drug traffickers who had made the areas their stronghold would not return.

Security forces arrested more than 100 people during their sweep of the area.

It will be the army's first peacekeeping mission within Brazil.

Defence Minister Nelson Jobim said the army would be able to draw on its years of experience heading the United Nation's peacekeeping mission in Haiti.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has approved the army's continued presence, which was requested by the governor of Rio state, Sergio Cabral.

He had earlier praised the joint police and military operation and promised it would only be the start of a campaign to rid Rio of drugs gangs.

The Alemao and Penha districts have been a stronghold of drugs traffickers and virtual no-go area for police for decades.

Why is STARSCAPES The Best Money Making Opportunity in the Universe?

When you order your StarBiz, you can turn everyone's bedroom ceiling into their very own stargazing panorama. Bringing back the stars for all.



And once they know that you have it available for them, they'll "rip their underwear" trying to get the money out of their pocket to give to you!



You'll walk into their room, with your StarBiz equipment bag, and after about an hour or two of having fun, you'll call them back in. Ask them to lie down and cover their eyes, for a moment, as you begin to play the CD we give you (soft, ethereal music to set the mood).



What will they see, when you turn the lights out? They won't see their ceiling anymore, because it's "gone"! Above them in the sky will be thousands of twinkling stars, and constellations! Of course, it's astronomically correct, so they'll even see the Milky Way galaxy and shooting stars! Listen to them gasp! (All of them will do it.) This is one time in their life, that they're actually happy giving someone a check! Then, because they called all of their friends over for the unveiling, guess who's going to be your next customers?
