J'iRPAJ LAIWH 19Q4
Editor's Message
Although I don't always have the time to answer each of your letters (I wish I did),
please be assured that I do love to hear from our TSGS members and always read, word for
word, each of your comments and suggestions. This is your society, and I do want you all to
be pleased with this quarterly. Just let me know the type of format and material you prefer,
and I'll do my best to meet your expectations.
The best days are those when I receive genealogical material from you for possible
publication in STIRPES. It isn't always easy to decide which articles would be of the most
interest to our members; therefore, I spend a lot of time making my final choices. I hope that
you are pleased with them!
The lead story in this issue by Timothy Goeke, a San Antonio teenager, was
particularly intriguing and one that I felt you would all enjoy. Please read it -- bearing in mind
that Timothy was only a 16-year-old when he prepared this (and other material) two years ago
as part of a classroom assignment at San Antonio's John Marshall High School. His teacher,
Martin Soward, our TSGS District 20 Representative, generously shared it with me. After
reading Timothy's family history, I have gained a new respect for teenagers! What a thrill to
know that the younger generation is taking such an interest in genealogy!
Several of the articles in this issue were submitted last year as entries in the TSGS
Writing Awards Competition! The one entitled "Sir Grandpa" was one of these! I'm glad I
wasn't one of the judges for that competition, as it would have been difficult for me to decide
which of the many entries was the best. But I know you will enjoy this "Grandpa" story.
There is a definite need for genealogical "how to" material. If you have had an unusual
research experience or located some heretofore unknown source -- then please share such
information with your fellow members. Just put it in writing and send it along!
At the TSGS meeting in Austin in November, the Board voted to combine the TSGS
newsletter with S7TIRPES and publish only one publication per quarter. Therefore, do please
remember to send news of your upcoming seminars and other society information directly to
me. I promise to do my best to include your notices in an appropriate issue. But, I can't print it
if I don't have it! Let me hear from you. And a special thanks to those societies who have
placed my name or their newsletter and/or quarterly mailing lists. Please continue to do so!
Unfortunately this issue will be arriving at your home a few weeks later than usual. I
apologize for the delay and will try not to let it happen again. However, the past few months
have been very busy ones for me. Let me explain. Perhaps you have noticed that I have a new
name! After being a widow for two years, I have just remarried and my name is now officially
Mrs. Edward G. Pryor. Therefore, you don't have a new editor! Your editor has a new name!
Although my husband is not a genealogist, he is certainly destined to become one - out
of self defense, no doubt. We've been to the San Antonio Library a few times researching his
family history and have had some good results. We located his Pryor grandparents, Charles
Pryor and Alice (King) Pryor, on the 1900 census at Rusk in Cherokee County. His mother's
maiden name was Browning and we found his Browning grandfather (Lucious) on the 1880
census at Grapeland in Houston County - living at the residence of his future in-laws, William
W. Lively and Sarah (Dodson) Lively! Also, we've heard there is a Pryor cemetery on
Highway 259 near the city limits of Kilgore! Do any of you have any knowledge of these
families or this cemetery? We are tentatively planning to do some traveling this summer to do
personal on-sight research, at which time we hope to have the opportunity to visit with TSGS
members along the way! In the meantime, I look forward to hearing from each of you.

Austin, Texas (CNN) -- An intoxicated driver fleeing police plowed his car into a crowd at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, killing two people, authorities said.
The man and woman killed were riding their light motorcycles, said Art Acevedo, chief of the Austin Police Department.
At least 23 others were hospitalized, some with multiple internal injuries.
Before the incident, the man was driving the wrong direction on a one-way street. Authorities attempted to stop the car, but it sped off, almost hitting an officer, according to Acevedo.
The car later ran into the crowd.
"It looked like something out of a movie," said Russ Barone, who was at the festival. "A few people lying on the street ... with their friends around them trying to get them up, trying to get them back to life. Hopefully, they are."
He said the scene was grisly, with people bleeding in the streets.
"I've never seen nothing like it. I felt like I was at a war or something," Barone said. "I was down here for the music ... we were having the best time ever. And then it turned into the worst thing I've ever seen."
Pablo Vazquez was also at the event when the driver drove by him.
"The car barely missed me ... I was less than a foot away," Vazquez told CNN's New Day. "I saw some folks die."
It kept moving forward, swerving to hit victims and and even ramming into a taxi at one point," he said.
A suspect is in custody and faces two counts of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault by vehicle, Acevedo said.
Photos and video posted to social media showed people sprawled on a street for about a block with first responders kneeling over them. In one instance, they're seen performing CPR.
Witnesses on a YouTube video said the car sped through the crowd, tossing some victims into the air and knocking others down.
Acevedo urged those posting videos on social media to turn them over to authorities instead.
South by Southwest is an annual event that features film, interactive and music festivals.
CNN first learned of the incident via posts on Twitter.

SYNOPSIS: A World War II comedy about a submarine commander who finds himself stuck with a decrepit (and pink) sub, a con-man executive officer and a group of army nurses.
BOTTOM LINE: Grant tries to keep his crew straight and his ship from sinking in this classic comedy about finding love on the high seas. Joined by the equally charming Tony Curtis, Grant plays a submarine captain attempting to join the fray in the Pacific at the end of WW2. Unfortunately his ship is worth more to a scrap yard than the war effort. With the help of Curtis's crafty and unscrupulous talents in the supply acquisition department, their broken down boat is soon on its' way to the front. However, before they reach the open water their voyage takes a quirky turn when they are forced to babysit a small group of nurses to whom Curtis "graciously" offered a ride. The presence of females is good for morale, but not for fighting a war. Grant is beside himself trying to stay afloat while keeping the nurses free from unwanted advances and safe from bodily harm. Initially, their presence only brings trouble, one mishap after another, but in the end their unique figures are what saves the day. Grant is perfect as the respectable and desperate captain who willingly turns a blind eye to Curtis's criminal activities. Anything to keep the ship moving. The tight spaces on the sub creates physical humor and sexual tension fairly tame by today's standards, but still clever enough to draw a laugh. Certainly not the best flick by either Grant or Curtis, however, together, they make this rather simple premise quite entertaining.
"When a girl is under 21, she's protected by law. When she's over 65, she's protected by nature. Anywhere in between, she's fair game."

The upper component has a shoulder portion and an upper component inner wall has a first diameter extending from the shoulder. The lower component has a lower component inner wall having a second diameter. The upper and lower component inner walls form a propellant chamber; and the first and second diameters reduce a volume of the propellant chamber. The reduced volume of the propellant chamber permits only enough propellant to propel a bullet engaged in the cartridge casing at subsonic speeds.
Tue, 07 Apr 2015 08:00:00 EDTA gas generator containing perforate internal chambers, each chamber in vapor communication with at least one other chamber in the gas generator, is provided. When granulated compositions are utilized in one or more of the chambers, permeable materials such as cheesecloth, neoprene, Tyvek™, metal or non-metallic screen, and other suitable fluid permeable materials, may be provided to physically seal the perforations of the various chambers, thereby separating the granulated composition(s) contained therein. In this way, off-gas products formed naturally over time may be effectively managed to ensure expected performance criteria of the associated inflator.
Tue, 07 Apr 2015 08:00:00 EDTA guided munition (10) includes a warhead (20) within the nose section (60) and processing electronics (30) arranged within the munition (10) behind the warhead (20).

Tue, 07 Apr 2015 08:00:00 EDTA bullet is formed with a hollow interior compartment which contains particles. The bullet side-wall surrounding the hollow interior compartment breaks after impact with the target to release the particles from the hollow interior compartment. Preferably, each particle in the hollow interior compartment has a core substance and a coating surrounding the core substance. The coating is designed to release the core substance after the bullet contacts a target. The core substance swells when in contact with blood, which may be time delayed in order to enter the blood stream.
Tue, 07 Apr 2015 08:00:00 EDTA weapon and weapon system, and methods of manufacturing and operating the same. In one embodiment, the weapon includes a warhead having an outer casing. The warhead includes a frangible container within the outer casing of the warhead and a destructive element within the frangible container.

Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:00:00 EDTA binary exploding target package, a process of forming an exploding target from the contents of the binary exploding target package, and the exploding target formed therefrom. The binary exploding target package includes a first, target container and a second container. An oxidizer composition is contained within one of the containers and a catalyst composition is contained within the other container. An exploding target is formed by mixing the oxidizer and catalyst compositions, and introducing the mixture into the target container to form an exploding target just prior to using the exploding target as a target for a shooting exercise.
Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:00:00 EDTA system for programming and lighting electronic detonators (1) each having an identifier (IDdet) associated therewith, includes: a programming unit (20) arranged to determine the identifiers of the detonators (1) and to associate the detonators individually, in memory, with a lighting time delay (Tdet) in order to form a blasting pattern (PT); a blasting unit (10) arranged to recover the blasting pattern (PT) from the memory (280) of the programming unit (20), and to control a blasting sequence of the detonators according to the recovered blasting pattern; and the programming unit (20) includes: a passive RFID tag (28) provided with a chip (280) acting as a memory for storing the blasting pattern (PT), and a radiofrequency reader (27) arranged such as to read/write passive tags. A corresponding method is also described.
Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:00:00 EDTA spinning, rolling, or roll-stabilized vehicle, such as a projectile, includes a fuselage that rotates about its longitudinal axis (spins) during flight. A collar is positionable relative to the fuselage to steer the projectile, with the collar having ailerons to provide a roll force to position the collar. The collar also has elevators to provide lateral force to steer the projectile. The positioning of the collar may be accomplished by moderating the roll force of the ailerons to hold the position of the collar substantially constant with regard to a longitudinal axis of the projectile. The ailerons passively change angle of attack with changes in the dynamic pressure of the projectile. At low speeds the ailerons have a relatively large angle of attack, and at high speeds, the ailerons resiliently reduce their angles of attack, avoiding large rolling forces on the collar.
Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:00:00 EDTA delay release device that connects to an aerosol filled canister that releases the aerosol in a delayed manner. The device includes a main body with a first plunger assembly mounted on one end. Formed adjacent to the first plunger assembly is a first chamber filled with a compressed gas pressurized from 40 to 150 psi based on the time delay desired. In the main body adjacent to the first chamber is a second chamber and a third chamber. Located inside the third chamber is a second plunger with a hollow stem introduced into a top valve assembly on the canister. To activate, the first plunger assembly is pressed inward which activates a second valve disposed between the first and second chambers. The second valve allows compressed gas to flow slowly from the first chamber into the second chamber and into the third chamber. The increased air pressure in the upper portion of the third chamber exerts a downward force on the second plunger which forces the hollow stem into canister and causes the aerosol gas to be released into a lower discharge chamber and then through holes formed on the main body.
Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:00:00 EDTA detonator assembly (10) which includes a housing (16), an explosive (20) in the housing (16), an initiating element (32) exposed to the explosive (20), a circuit for controlling operation of the initiating element (32), and a communication arrangement which can establish communication between the circuit and an external controller (60) at least at one optical frequency.

Unfortunately, the prevalence of peanut allergy is on the rise in America. This delicious and common food can cause allergic reactions that may be mild or can even be life-threatening. We've all heard the tragic stories sometimes associated with peanut allergy.
People with peanut allergy may have hives, difficulty breathing, vomiting, mouth itch, tongue swelling, facial swelling, or dizziness, sometimes even leading to a passing out episode, and even death. This can be terrifying, and can occur just from touching or smelling the peanut if the person is very allergic.
At this time, the only treatment for peanut allergy is strict avoidance of peanut and immediate use of injectable epinephrine if allergic reaction occurs. But, recent studies show promise that in the future we may have a way to desensitize patients to the peanut so that they no longer have bad reactions after exposure to peanut. This would be a wonderful advance in the practice of allergy medicine, and many patients and their families would be greatly relieved from the constant anxiety associated with this dangerous disease process.
Peanut allergy requires close supervision by a physician to assure appropriate avoidance measures and to keep an up-to-date injectable epinephrine source always in the patient's presence. The only proven life-saving medicine for a dangerous reaction is immediate epinephrine. Don't think that Benadryl or some other over-the-counter medicine is sufficient to stop one of these terrifying "freight train" allergy reactions.
If you or anyone you know has a peanut allergy, be sure medical care for this scary problem is underway. This is not a forgiving medical diagnosis. Sometimes lack of proper care can have the worst of outcomes. Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to reduce these types of episodes if the peanut desensitization plan becomes available.
Dr. Matthew Clark is the owner of Covenant Family Allergy on Knox Avenue in North Augusta.

I also have 4 nice bikes in my garage that were found out in the trash. Nice older bikes are all too easy to find where I live in the US. One of the sad side effects of living in an area where the bicycle is not appreciated. However, I love and appreciate them.

The..."Common Perception" depends on where you are. There are places in the world where everyone rides a bike sometimes, and often they will be riding in nice clothing. No gentleman who has spent time and money having his suit properly tailored wants to have to hoist his leg over the seat and rear wheel to get on and off. They ride "step through" frames, rather than "step over." There are also several manufacturers who offer bikes with extremely low frames specifically for riders with a limited range of motion.

Maybe my next bike should be a girl's frame so that as an old man I don't have to lift my leg over the case of beer on the rack. So I ask you, do real men (if they are old) ride girl's bikes?

The healthcare back-and-forth continues…
After Gov. Eliot Spitzer sent a letter to hospital trustees, urging them to join him in his fight to reform healthcare and posing a list of 10 (largely rhetorical) questions, Dennis Rivera, the outgoing president of SEIU/1199, responded with a letter of his own:
Dear Gov. Spitzer,
We saw your letter to trustees of our hospitals asking them a series of questions. In response, we have some questions of our own that we'd like clarified.
1. On WNBC News Forum on Sunday, Feb. 25, you said you have a plan to insure all 2.6 million New Yorkers currently without coverage. You have yet to put forward a plan to follow through on your promise. When do you expect to reveal such a plan?
2. On that same show, you said that excess hospital CEOs salaries are "most of what we're seeking to eliminate." Are you saying that Hospital CEOs earn $1 billion in salary every year. If not, will you change your budget to reflect their actual salaries?
3. In a 2005 speech to healthcare workers, you said "We need to permit the CEOs to make a profit so they can invest." Why the sudden flip-flop OR Why the sudden change of mind?
4. In that same speech before the healthcare community, you said " staffing levels are an enormous problem." Yet, now you're proposing to cut worker retention and training programs by tens of millions. What changed your mind OR Why the sudden flip-flop?
5. Do you have any plans to make for-profit HMOs, who make more than $5 million a day in profits, pay their fair share of the state's healthcare burden?
6. President Bush has proposed similar-sized cuts to yours. Yet you object to his cuts while pushing for teaching hospital cuts of your own. What's the difference?
7. Do you really believe that nurses and hospital workers are "cry babies?"

Planning For Pregnancy – What You Need To Know So you're ready to be a parent? Planning for pregnancy can be fun, eye-opening, and at times difficult. That's why meeting with your obstetrician during the pre-conception period is an important step not to be missed. Decisions you make now, while trying to get pregnant, can play a role in your health as well as the baby's. You likely have many questions, especially if you're attempting pregnancy for the first time. We hope the information below will help you prepare for planning your pregnancy. Birth Control When should I stop birth control if I want to get pregnant? Great question! It's a good idea to stop your birth control about two months before you plant to start trying toward pregnancy. The extra time will allow you to develop a natural menstrual cycle, to determine your ovulation dates and when you're most fertile. Alcohol & Tobacco Drinking alcohol and smoking during pregnancy is an obvious don't, but there may be a little more leeway when deciding if it's ok to drink while trying to get pregnant. If you're partying every night – drinking several alcoholic beverages in one sitting or drinking most […]
Do I need an annual Pap Smear? How often do I need a pap smear? The answer to that question has changed over the past few years as medical experts have determined that the need for an annual gynecological exam varies depending on the woman. Pap smears are recommended for most women between 21 – 65 years old. Certain factors including sexual activity, family history of cervical cancer, or abnormal tests may result in your OBGYN recommending pap smears each year, but the belief that every woman needs a yearly pap smear has become a thing of the past. Why do I need a pap smear? While it may be momentarily uncomfortable, a pap test can ultimately save your life. The tests, which are generally quick and painless, can help detect early signs of cervical cancer. Pap smears can find abnormal cervical cells before they develop into cancerous cells. The success rate of cervical cancer treatment is very high when the cancer is caught early. Doctors recommend the test as one of the easiest ways to prevent cervical cancer. How often do I need a pap smear? Two main factors come into play when determining how often you should get […]
Understanding Ovarian Cancer Symptoms and Treatment Whether ovarian cancer runs in your family or you're worried you may be experience symptoms, an appointment with your gynecologist is a good place to start. Ovarian cancer makes up roughly 3% of cancers among women, but it is responsible for more deaths than any other female reproductive system cancer. The American Cancer Society reports about 22,280 women received a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer in 2016 and nearly 14,240 women died from the disease. Ovarian cancer ranks 5th in cancer deaths among women. About one in every 75 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, but the numbers have been gradually decreasing over the past two decades. Although the statistics are alarming, there are ways to prevent and detect the cancer in its earliest stage. Detect Ovarian Cancer Early As with so many heath challenges, early detection is key to successful treatment. Regular visits to your Reno gynecologist will allow your doctor to recognize signs of concern and document changes to your body. A regular health exam usually includes a pelvic exam – determining the size, shape, and consistency of the ovaries and uterus. While pap smears are a good test for cervical cancer, […]
Am I Going Through Menopause? The diagnosis of going through menopause, or even perimenopause, can be debilitating for some women, and not just physically. The mental aches and realizations that come with such a diagnosis can be the worst part for some. One of the major challenges with being able to recognize the life event is that there is no true start or stop points, menopause can be completely different experiences for women, and of course, the sometimes difficult-to-overcome symptoms are all associated with the "mid-life change." What is Menopause? The dictionary defines menopause as, "The ceasing of menstruation," and if that's all that happened, there likely wouldn't be a need for this blog. All women have a menopause season in their life. The typical age falls between 45 and 50. The process can take years, and, yes, eventually your menstrual cycles do stop. But what's really happening inside your body during menopause? Your ovaries create the hormones estrogen and progesterone, both responsible for menstruation and ovulation.

Most Common Sexually Transmitted Diseases and STD Testing Thanks to movies, misconceptions and simply being misinformed, most people believe they would know if they had a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Medicine tells us otherwise. Many STDs have no visible symptoms, or such mild signs that those affected often ignore the warnings. Another misconception about STDs is the testing process. Getting tested for an STD is quick and easy. Depending on what you're being tested for, your healthcare provider may request a urine sample, offer a swab test, or take a blood sample. It's natural to have questions about STD testing, so your trusted Reno Gynecology expert, Dr. Sam Chacon, is dispelling the myths and answering the most common questions. When to go for STD Testing? The simple answer for when to be tested for STDs is when you're sexually active. HIV tests are recommended by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for all sexually active adults and expecting women. If you feel you've been exposed to a disease or infection, contact your healthcare provider to schedule a test. Otherwise, it's a good idea to get an annual screening if you remain sexually active, especially if you fall […]
When Should I Get A Mammogram? Depending on which organization you site, you'll find a variety of answers on the recommended age for women to get a mammogram. For years, medical experts recommended annual mammograms starting at age 40. That number, and how often women should be examined, is now becoming more fluid. While the consensus from the majority of organization and doctors is for each woman to make a personal decision with her health care provider on when to begin and how often to schedule mammograms, the recommended age for a woman not in a high-risk category is debated. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force mammogram guidelines suggests women begin mammogram screening at age 45, while the American Cancer Society promote screenings at age 45. The Mayo Clinic recommends screening beginning at age 40, citing the tests' abilities to "detect breast abnormalities early in women in their 40s." Despite the age disparity in recommendations from different groups, mammograms are still necessary at nearly any age if a lump in the breast is detected. Mammogram screenings do help detect breast cancer earlier, but as with the majority of medical procedures, you must let your health (and a conversation with your […]

Nice artillery unit.
Republic at War is a total conversion modification for Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption. The mod replaces the Empire with the Galactic Republic and the Rebel Alliance with the Confederacy. Republic at War focuses heavily on the theatrical films but also contains content from the Clone Wars cartoon series as well as the expanded universe. Players can re-enact various Clone War campaigns such as the Outer Rim Sieges. Players will have the choice to fight as either the CIS or the Republic and wage war for control of the galaxy. Realism is key and players will have unprecedented control over how and where they fight. Push forward with an entire clone legion such as the 501st or 212th or overwhelm your opponent with a seemingly endless number of B1 battledroids. The choice is yours. There are also a number of expansions planned that will add new (as well as polish existing) content.
Nice artillery unit.

Charlie Nicholas claims he would take Laurent Koscielny over Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen.
Pundit Charlie Nicholas has told Sky Sports that he would go with Arsenal star Laurent Koscielny over Tottenham's defensive duo Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen.
Arsenal were thrashed 5-1 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night, in what is certainly considered to be terrible preparation for Sunday's huge clash against Tottenham.
The Gunners now host their fierce North London rivals this weekend, who will be sensing some joy in front of goal having witnessed Arsenal's terrible defending against Bayern.
Yet, it's worth pointing out that Arsenal were missing their star centre back Koscielny at the Allianz Arena, with Gabriel Paulista and Per Mertesacker starting the game in light of the Frenchman's injury.
There is a hope that Koscielny will be fit to face Tottenham, but Gunners legend Charlie Nicholas was asked by Sky Sports whether he would take Spurs' centre back pairing Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, who have enjoyed a superb start to the season, over what Arsenal have in defence - but his response was clear, suggesting that Koscielny is by far the best defender out of the three.
"No, my first choice would be Koscielny - I'd pick Koscielny before those two," said Nicholas. "I think they've glued well, they've both played for the Belgian international team and they've worked well, but Aston Villa still gave them a few issues, and they were a half-baked team at one stage," he added.
One of the keys behind Tottenham's great start to the season has been their defensive record, having conceded just nine goals in 11 Premier League games this season - the joint-second best record in the division.
Arsenal have the joint-best record with just eight goals conceded, but that performance against Bayern has raised question marks over how the Gunners defence can perform without Koscielny in there.
Whether the Frenchman plays this weekend or not could have a huge bearing on the result of the game, and his importance to Arsene Wenger's side may well show that Nicholas is right in his assertion that he would pick Koscielny over Tottenham's centre back pairing, despite their brilliant displays under Mauricio Pochettino so far this term.

Purdue expert: Retailers see potential in early layaway programs
October 3, 2012
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Retailers' early and aggressive layaway programs are a sign of their concern about the purchasing power of lower-income consumers despite a generally positive outlook for this holiday season, says Richard Feinberg, a Purdue University professor of consumer sciences and retailing.
"Retailers are particularly worried about lower-income consumers," Feinberg says. "And for those consumers, the question is not what am I going to buy, but how am I going to be able to pay for it. Any retailer that offers a way to do that will be rewarded."
Offering layaway earlier in the season also is key, he says.
"By starting now, the retailer creates a longer time frame to pay for layaway items," Feinberg says. "Anecdotal conversations with consumers indicates that if given nine weeks of layaway, many of them could buy items that they couldn't get if given only five weeks to pay."
For retailers, the reward for offering a layaway program isn't huge growth in sales over last year but a marginal increase, Feinberg says. "A 1 percent increase or decrease in sales can mean millions of dollars for a retailer. And if it's a move on the upside, that means money denied to competitors."

Tranquil Shared Bedroom In The Attic
The attic often is still in close competition with the basement as the scariest place in the house. I just watched an episode of Modern Family where the youngest boy is tricked into moving into the attic by his older sisters. Too bad their attic didn't look anything like this one.
As the top floor, an attic with windows gets the best light in the house. The sloped ceilings make for architectural interest and creates a cozy sleeping nook with a bed tucked beneath. Keeping the walls white makes the room fresh and airy. And there is no need to fret about the lack of a closet - just hang a rod for storing the kids' clothes.

A Modest Baseball Proposal Part 1June 5, 2008
The Olympics are coming this summer, and it is currently the world's greatest international celebration. I like to consider myself a globalist and nothing stirs me up into a frenzy quite like international competition. Every year I get to lose my respective mind for one of the following: Summer and Winter Olympics, World Cup, Rugby World Cup, Ice Hockey World Championships, FIBA World Championships, World Baseball Classic, and will jump on board the Cricket World Cup and the IFAF World Cup the next time they come around. (The IAFA World Cup is a World Cup for American Football. I kid you not. They have been playing it in Japan every 4 years since 1999. Americans didn't even participate until 2007. Ridiculous. Why did this get absolutely no press? ESPN be damned!)
These are all great tournaments, and I am a huge proponent of countries competing with national pride on the line, but I am looking for something a little closer to home. We could create a tournament like those international contests, but add more teams to compete. It would be the love-child of an Olympic tournament and the NCAA Basketball tournament except participants would not have to be amateur. Soccer has two such tournaments, the UEFA Cup and the FIBA World Cup. The former is for European teams only, but the latter is open to every club in the world. (This is a technicality. The top club from each continent and the host country plays in the tournament, but any team from any country can theoretically make it to the top of their continent).
I propose that such a tournament be created for baseball.
What? Matt. Stop, listen, and learn, ok. Baseball already has a tournament that showcases all the best teams in the world. It's called the MLB playoffs. We spiced it up when we added the wild card. Ya dig? It's fine the way it is. Baseball is part of American tradition, and tradition means that we don't deviate from the way things are done. I won't have you messin' with my clubs, and potentially injuring my players for some tournament against inferior teams, when the only thing that matters is the World Series!!
Now I understand that changing anything about baseball would be the rough equivalent to some of setting fire to a Ford Mustang full of American flags and copies of the Declaration of Independence, but hear me out. Baseball integrated and all the stadiums weren't destroyed simultaneously by earthquakes. Curt Flood brought about free agency and he wasn't immediately struck by lightning thereafter. Baseball went to an 8 team playoff system and lava didn't rain down over the cities represented in that playoffs, or any playoff since. So do not cry foul over changing baseball, it is merely another evolution, and it just might bring about global support and interest.
The World Baseball Classic was the world's first professional "World Series", if you don't count the 1992 and 1993 World Series that Toronto won. The fact that America didn't win the WBC was the best part. Stop shaking your head. If America won, nobody would have cared. It would have just been some tournament that we used to showcase ourselves at a game we invented. Big deal. Instead, we got to see Team Japan, (full of great players who could make it in the MLB, that we may never have been able to see play otherwise), vs. Team Cuba, (full of great players who could make it in the MLB, that we may never have seen play otherwise). The whole tournament was surreal and incredible, and it brought out the best for fans who had never seen the Japanese sacrificial team play, or the legendary talent of the Cubans. There we have our Baseball World Cup, but why not expand on that idea?
Baseball is played professionally outside of America and Japan. There are professional leagues in the Netherlands, Italy, Puerto Rico, Israel, Korea, Venezuela, China, and Taiwan. Australia had a league from 1989-1999, and is supposed to be forming a new one at the end of this year. Cuba has a brilliant league but must play as amateurs. Both the Dominican Republic and Mexico have winter leagues. They often feature some major leaguers, (something that would have to be worked out in the case of a club tournament.) Also, there is a high level of interest in both the United Kingdom, (which has about 40 teams in an amateur league, complete with higher and lower divisions, a la their soccer counterparts) and World Baseball Classic countries like South Africa and Panama. America also has more pro leagues than Major League Baseball. Independent baseball thrives in America, and there are currently nine leagues showcasing baseball talent that regularly competes at the level of AAA teams, as well as current Florida-based MLB teams.
There are at least 166 independent, professional baseball clubs in the world outside of MLB. We could take the best of each league, (playoff clubs from the world wide professional leagues, as well as Cuba's amateur league, plus the champions of the smaller amateur leagues and American Independent Leagues), and create a 64 team "World Series Tournament"!!!
The tournament would be held in January in the most fun and weather-friendly places around America: Miami, San Diego, Las Vegas, (someone hire a contractor to make Sam Boyd Stadium baseball compatible), and New Orleans.
Matt, foreign clubs, let alone amateur teams cannot compete with an MLB squad.
Wrong. Well, kind of wrong. In baseball, any team has a chance to win one game against any other team if their pitcher gets hot or the better team has an off-day. That's why baseball playoffs are played in a series. It gives the better team more of a chance not to be upset in one game. In this tournament, we eliminate the series effect until the end. From round 1 until the Elite 8, the tournament will be set up as a one game playoff. The last four teams will play a three game series to get to the finals, and a three game series to determine the champion. This will give every team a better chance, and generate more interest from foreign audiences who don't want to watch their team get slaughtered in a series.
On top of that, the winning team will play ten games at the most, minimizing the chances of an injury that will affect them when the MLB season starts. Almost any team can catch lightning in a bottle for 10 games. Imagine a Dutch team upsetting the Cubs, (Cubs fans can already see it), an Independent team knocking out the Hanshin Tigers, or an amateur squad from any country becoming the 2006 George Mason of the tournament, and having the world outside the Bronx get behind them when they have to face the New York Yankees. The Nielsen Ratings system would crack, and international attention would be brought to this awesome party of a tournament. The winner would be the real "World Series Champion", and every baseball club owner would go into an epileptic shock just dreaming about the publicity and revenue he could get from that title. That would be enough to convince him to let his players go out there for ten games before spring training.
When it is all over, the casual fan like you or I will be left in a better state than when we started. There will be debates ranging between how the tournament should be changed, (especially if the team we support is upset early), which players from other leagues would we want on our MLB team, (Dice-K from the first WBC is the best example), and how the game is played with different styles in different areas. We as fans would get a better appreciation for baseball by seeing it played in different styles, and baseball itself would globalize further as other countries decide they want in on this party-tournament action. Really, if baseball can't make the world a better place, perhaps nothing can.

Here is a new set of table proposals. There are a couple issues that we couldn't decide on (use of the summary attribute, and use of <thead>, <tfoot>, <tbody> etc. in layout tables), so those are raised in a separate message. Hopefully these proposals can be considered clear and appropriate and accepted wholesale, but if particular ones give us trouble, please send your thoughts. Michael 1. Data tables and layout tables are two distinct uses of the <table> element and have different requirements. a. Data tables: contain a regular organization of cells, the meaning of which is contextualized by specific relationships among the cells. Moving a cell would change the meaning conveyed by the table. b. Layout tables: organize information visually but do not convey meaning through the table's structure. Moving a cell may alter the organization of the information but does not affect intrinsic meaning implied by the relationship of the cells. 2. Requirements for data tables: a. Data tables MUST contain <th> header elements to label categories of data. Headers may be used for columns, rows, or both. b. Data tables that have more than one row of column headers and/or more than one column of row headers MUST use additional markup to clarify the relationship of data cells to their headers. This should include "id" and "headers" attributes OR "scope" attributes. "scope" attributes MAY require proper use of <col>, <colgroup>, and <tbody> elements. c. Data tables whose structure is not completely apparent by use of the above header markup SHOULD use the "axis" attribute to provide additional clarification. d. Data tables SHOULD use <thead>, <tfoot>, <tbody>, <col>, and <colgroup> elements to organize rows and columns of information if the logical structure is more complex than a simple two-dimensional grid. e. Data tables SHOULD use the <caption> element to label the table. 3. Requirements for layout tables: a. Layout tables MUST NOT use <th> header elements or any of the header structure attributes "headers", "scope", or "axis". Document structure should be conveyed by other structural elements such as headings (<h1> - <h6>). b. Layout tables MUST NOT use the <caption> element. c. The source code order, or default linearization, of layout tables MUST result in the contents being able to convey the author's intended purpose. 4. Remove the requirement that a text equivalent be provided for layout tables that render columns of text.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Looking in at Mine That Bird in his stall Wednesday afternoon, you would think there was nothing wrong with him.
But that is where the Kentucky Derby winner will stay, his date with the Travers snatched away from him by owners Mark Allen and Der. Leonard Blach. Mine That Bird was ruled out of the Midsummer Derby early Wednesday morning after a spot was found on his epiglottis (throat) which was a result of his surgery to relieve an entrappment a week ago Tuesday.
I'm not going to say they cowboys are skipping the Travers because they think they can't win. If a horse has an injury — and Blach said horses have run with this kind of condition before — I can't squabble with them.
Is this a built in excuse? Maybe. Perhaps Mine That Bird is not the same horse he was when he ran first in the Derby, second in the Preakness and third in the Belmont. Trainer Chip Woolley said the gelding was doing better than he was at any time this year, and that includes before the Kentucky Derby. Apparently, Blach and Allen, the men who pay the bills, didn't agree. They pulled the plug on the Bird, no doubt about that.
Mine That Bird will he flown back to his home base of New Mexico on Monday. Woolley will leave then too and, for the first in a while, he isn't driving. He said he is hiring someone from back home to come to the Spa and retrieve his pickup and horse van.

Online Ethics Training Modules
State employees must complete an online, narrated ethics training program.
Faculty members must review the College and University Faculty Training Module. All other employees must review the State Employee Training Module.
At the end of each on-line module, there is a form that State employees and special State officers must fill out to verify the completion of training. Use the drop-down menu on the form to select Montclair State, which will ensure that the University receives a record of training completion. You will be credited with completing the training only if you enter a Montclair State e-mail address; you will not be credited with completing the training if you enter a personal e-mail address.
After you fill out the form, the State Ethics Commission will send a receipt for completion of the module to the e-mail address used for registration. State employees and special State officers should print out a copy of the e-mail receipt to document their successful completion of the ethics training program.

Nugget shape or soft edges???
In the past years, I made them really nugget-shaped with well defined edges.
Maybe its because I am thinking spring and soft colors... I decided to soften the edges by flamepolishing them more after faceting.
I like this effect, but DH thinks they look like round beads gone wrong....
What do you think?
All the new beads are waiting for new good homes here:

Spring inspired leaf beads
No more nasty weather, temperatures too cold to go to my studio, no more dark rainy days, I WANT SPRING!
Lent is starting next week and I have been thinking about what to give up for these 7 weeks, but I must admit I have no idea yet. Maybe instead of giving up something for this time, I could add something to do, just as " one green smoothie per day" instead of "no coffee and sweets".
How about you?
My torch time lately has already been spring inspired, here are my latest:
5 leaf beads, in a light green transparent glass, just the right size and color for spring inspired jewelry.
They are waiting for you here:

Monthly Make for February
This pair of socks just got finished. I started it in Februar last year and after the first 10 rows abandoned the project because I did not like the colorway.
Thanks to the monthly make project, I mustered all my courage and started working again on them this February 1st. Now they are done and my daughter has adopted them already!

Turquoise bead set made from vintage glass
Back in spring 2003, when I was just starting out to lampwork, I bought a stash of old vintage glass rods dating back to the 1950's on a flea market. At that time, I had nearly no notions about glass COE and bought the glass because of the beautiful colors.
I learned the hard way that it is not compatible with my usual range of 104 COE so I just made spacers of some rods, others in less beautiful colors got a new life as garden stakes in my herb garden and a few very shocky ones even landed in the trash bag.
Then when I reorganized my studio in 2007 to make room for more glass, I put these in a large drawer and completely forgot about them...
During my latest lampworking pause due to technical issues in January, I used my torch time to clean and rearrange my
These beads are a very intense semi translucent brilliant turquoise. I made them all into 11x8mm spacers and got a total of 17 beads from the 3 rods I had left. They are currently looking for a new home here:
