Living Relative Connections
In my genealogy research, I do not go out searching for my cousins but some connections have come my way while doing my research both on and off-line. Here are few examples.
Off-line discoveries of connections
After I joined our local branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, my research interests were posted in the newsletter. I was fortunate to receive a letter from a cousin who believed we had a connection because she recognized some names. Through correspondence, we shared information. She gave me information on my McKenzie line. Because she was older than me, she knew about earlier generations. it was wonderful to make the connection. I have visited her a couple of times.
In Berczy Bunch, I talked about my discovery of my fifth cousins related to the Stiver (Stoeber) line. Thanks to the Markham Museum's display table at the Ontario Genealogical Seminar in Toronto in 1993, I learned about the Markham Berczy Settlers Association. I see and I am in touch with these fifth cousins more frequently than I am with most of my first cousins. Within the group, we have shared with each other what we have learned. I made two trips with this group - one to the United States and one to Germany.
On-line discoveries of connections
I wrote about one connection in the Gift of Genealogy John contacted me because he had seen some of my postings on a mailing list. I am not sure what degree of cousins we would be but it was through the information that he gave me that I was steered to the correct part of Gloucestershire to be researching my Iles family.
Thanks to a message board, I was able to re-connect with at first cousin who had moved out of the area and I didn't know where she was living. I also have made connections through mailing lists with cousins who have seen some of my postings.
I have a web site for my Stiver connection. The web site was created as part of my studies with the National Institute for Genealogical Studies. My web site has been very helpful in making connections with other fifth cousins, I didn't know about.
Although, I have not yet made connections with cousins through my blog but perhaps some day a new found cousin will drop by.
I have a friend who always says that networking is so important when doing genealogical research. It may not be a cousin that helps you out but someone you meet at meeting or online.
This posting has been created for the Carnival of Genealogy hosted by Jasia.

A Dothan teen has been sentenced to 70 years in prison for murdering his brother and trying to kill his parents.
Eighteen-year-old Anthony Paul Bryan was sentenced to 30 years for killing his 17-year-old brother with a shotgun as he was sleeping in 1999.
He also received two 20-year sentences for the attempted murders of his mother and father. Bryan was 14 when he committed the crime.
Before the judge handed down the sentences, Bryan's mother read a letter about how her son has changed and how she doesn't fear him.
The prosecuting attorney also played the 911 tape from the night of the murder. Bryan will be eligible for parole in 20 years.

Dream come true: MGH researcher selected as NASA astronaut trainee
OUT OF THIS WOLRD: Meir experiences weightlessness during a ride in a KC-135A plane, nicknamed the "vomit comet," while attending Brown University in 1999.
When Jessica Meir was 5 years old, she drew a picture of what she wanted to be when she grew up. Thirty years later, the PhD and assistant biologist in the MGH Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine recalled that crayon creation when discussing how her dream of becoming an astronaut may now become a reality.
"It's quite a surreal experience," the 35-year-old Meir says about the June 17 announcement that she was one of eight people selected to be NASA's newest astronaut trainees. According to NASA, the 2013 astronaut candidate class will help the agency push the boundaries of exploration and travel to new destinations in the solar system. They will be some of the first to launch from U.S. soil on commercial American spacecraft since the retirement of the space shuttle. Meir will begin training at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas in August.
"I'm very, very excited and thrilled to become part of the NASA team and to play a role in the NASA human spaceflight program," Meir says. "Hopefully one day members of our class will be flying on international space station missions. And beyond that, NASA is preparing for asteroid missions and perhaps to Mars one day as well. It would be very exciting to play a role in any of that."
Meir, a comparative physiologist, has spent much of her career studying animals that live in extreme environments, from the diving physiology of emperor penguins in Antarctica to birds in the Himalayas that migrate at altitudes where oxygen is very limited. "I think this research – and the critical-thinking skills that are involved and the operational skills I've acquired along the way – will carry over into the spaceflight environment, as well as with humans operating in other very extreme environments," Meir says.
Since the initial astronaut class of 1959, NASA has selected and trained 330 astronauts. The 2013 astronaut candidate class comes from the second largest number of applications NASA has received – more than 6,000. Meir says she initially applied for the program in 2009 but was not chosen. "So I applied again and was lucky enough to make it to the final round again," Meir says. "Actually getting the call and finding out that I was selected was still very surprising, with the numbers and chances being so small and with all of the amazing applicants that I met and interviewed with, I didn't necessarily think that it would end up happening. It's really exciting."
Meir says she is grateful for the support she has received from the MGH and her colleagues. "People are really, really excited, and I think this type of exploration plays a big role in a lot of people's hearts," Meir says. "I've also been incredibly fortunate to have incredible mentors throughout my career, both professionally and personally – including Warren Zapol, MD, former chief of the MGH Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine. Working with these individuals has really shaped me. These people are not only amazing top-notch scientists, but also wonderful, caring people who are really just a pleasure to work with and learn from. That definitely has had an invaluable impact on my life."

James Bond routinely saves the world, and Adele has saved the music industry - or at least kept it on life support by selling over 20 millions copies of her Grammy grabbing sophomore album 21 around the world.
So it stands to reason the the two British belters would wind up in each other's company, and Adele's theme song to the Sam Mendes-directed Daniel Craig-starring Skyfall, which opens in theaters Nov. 9, was released tonight at midnight, UK time.
That means you can hear the classy, soaring with strings "Skyfall" below, and naturally, buy it at iTunes, where the smart money says it will soon be selling at a record pace. On a couple of listens, the song co-written with Paul Epworth sounds pretty memorable and Bond-worthy to me, as it earns its grandeur and rises to a cut above, say, Madonna's "Die Another Day" or Jack White and Alicia Keys regrettable "Another Way To Die" from 2008's Quantum of Solace - if not up to Shirley Bassey "Goldfinger" heady heights. You done good, Adele.

Rodney Williams scored 18 points in another fine all-around performance as Minnesota pulled away late to down visiting Appalachian State 70-56 Tuesday.
Williams, who has made the move from small forward to power forward since the Golden Gophers (9-1) lost star Trevor Mbakwe three games ago, added six rebounds and five blocks.
Since Mbakwe suffered his season-ending knee injury in Minnesota's only loss to Dayton on Nov. 27, Williams has averaged 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.3 blocks.
The Gophers outscored the Mountaineers 42-10 in the paint.
Although Minnesota established a 10-point lead in the first half, Appalachian State (4-4) trimmed the deficit to 32-30 by halftime and played the Gophers tight for most of the second half. The Mountaineers took the lead for the final time at 52-50 on a 3-pointer by Omar Carter with 5:23 remaining.
But Williams responded with one of the Gophers' two 3-pointers in the game, and Chip Armelin converted a three-point play off a steal from Minnesota's full-court pressure, contributing to a game-ending 20-4 run.
Carter scored 18 points to lead the Mountaineers, who have dropped two straight.

David Dingus,
NEW YORK AZZ Inc. remains confident that its finances will grow to record highs by its fiscal third quarter of 2014 despite reporting a 9 percent decline year on year in the fiscal first quarter.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based galvanizer and electronics maker reported net income of almost $14.6 million, or 57 cents per diluted share, for the quarter ended May 31, compared with a net income of nearly $16 million, or 63 cents per share, a year ago. In a conference call on June 28, the company said the decrease was due to recurring losses from a fire at the companys hot-dip galvanizing facility in Joliet, Ill. (amm.com , April. 30, 2012), a backlog in the electrical and industrial products and services segment, and the acquisition of industrial maintenance company Aquilex Specialty Repair and Overhaul, LLC last April (amm.com, April 1). Despite this, the company maintains its high estimate for earnings and revenues for year-end 2014. Due to the significant impact of recent acquisitions and seasonal trends associated with (acquisitions of nuclear industry equipment company Nuclear Logistics Inc.) and Aquilex, we expect our strongest operating results to be in the third quarter, record-setting both in revenue and earnings, David Dingus, president and chief operating officer, said during the call. Dingus also announced he will retire effective March 1, 2014, for health reasons. Dingus said the company could make another acquisition in the next year in either the galvanizing segment or electronic segment. The company estimates year-end revenues of $825 million to $900 million, with diluted earnings per share of $2.65 to $2.95, compared to revenues of $570.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $2.37 recorded for year-end 2013.

Re "Neither side blinks in budget standoff," Feb. 24, and "White House turns up the volume," Feb. 26
From day one of President Obama's first term, the Republicans put into effect a political strategy of cheerleading for the failure of his governing, regardless of the harm their self-serving politics caused the country and the silent majority of its citizens.
The evidence of this is overwhelming.
It started with the "just say no" obstructionism in the Senate, and it evolved into a mantra of "no compromise" preached by extremist House Republicans who endorsed the blackmailing of the White House into the budget cuts compromise.
If the sequester happens and thousands of jobs are lost, the economic recovery reverses and millions of Americans suffer, then the Republicans will have finally won — and the country will have lost, not the president.

An individual earning less than $15,856 a year and a household of two adults with a combined income of up to $20,628 are now eligible for Medicaid health insurance in Illinois. A family of four earning up to $94,200 a year can get assistance to lower their health coverage costs by buying a plan through the new Health Insurance Marketplace.
If this is news to you, you are not alone. There are about 23,000 residents younger than 65 in McHenry County who are uninsured and eligible to get free or lower-cost health insurance. The only problem is many don't know about these programs.
The McHenry County Department of Health got a grant to hire support counselors who can raise awareness and help people apply online.
Enrollment began Oct. 1 and will continue through March 2014. If you are uninsured, you buy your own health insurance or you can't afford the plan your employer offers, you should get information and look at your options at www.getcoveredillinois.gov. You also can learn more or apply by calling 866-311-1119 and TTY users 855-889-4325.
Anyone can enroll on their own, but many will need assistance to navigate the marketplace website so they can find out exactly what subsidies and tax credits apply and what insurance plans meet their needs.
Additional support is available through Enroll McHenry County, a one-year project funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health that provides trained in-person counselors to educate, assist and enroll residents through June 2014. If you would like to make a free, confidential appointment with a certified in-person counselor, visit www.mcdh.info or call 815-334-4510.

Classics Review:
This was the very first Triumph album I bought (on cassette) as I knew that I couldn't lose with the selection of songs on the album. In time, I began to pick up other albums and began to discover what a jewel this group is. When I first heard of the band, I think they were generally described as hard rock or maybe even heavy metal; no label truly does Triumph justice as they can perform almost any kind of song with skill and enthusiasm.
My favorites are "Magic Power", "Somebody's Out There", "Follow Your Heart" and there are many others that I enjoy.

Training: A typical day of training is about 150 miles on the road, and 4 hours in the gym! I normally do strength and conditioning w/ my strength coach Don Messing in PA in the mornings, and sparring/ wrestling/ BJJ in the afternoons.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I had graduated college and was teaching high school Spanish. I needed to compete again, so with my collegiate wrestling base, I looked to MMA.

Remember the days when only boys went into engineering or mathematics?
You know, maybe a couple generations, even a generation ago?
Well, it appears that could be changing, if the kids participating in the KidWind Project Challenge at Iowa Lakes Community College Wednesday was any indication.
With 12 boys and seven girls on the four winning teams, it appears the numbers could be evening out - something that's been a national trend for some time now.
That's quite a change from engineer Jack Ryan, who invented missiles for the Raytheon corporation and later patented Barbie, launching a new role model for generations of young girls.
Until a generation or so ago, girls were taught that boys went into fields like engineering and science while girls went into the nursing, teaching and secretarial fields (now administrative assistants). And within living memory, a female teacher could have been dismissed from her position if she married.
The KidWind Project Challenge held at Iowa Lakes Community College, funded by a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) scale-up grant, is helping to shatter the old preconceptions that limited the fields girls could enter. You could see the glitter in the girls' eyes as they explained their projects to Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, co-chair of Gov. Branstad's STEM advisory committee.
As more girls pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math, we can expect a broader perspective in these fields.
And who knows.
Maybe they'll come up with a different Barbie.

Skidmore, Owings and Merrill have brought us a plethora of architectural feasts over the years, many of which have been met by mixed reactions from WAN's readers. From the 'stilted' and 'rigid' Beijing CBD, to the 'simply magnificent' Cathedral of Christ the Light, and of course the 'iconic' Burj Khalifa (which was also labelled as 'way too much'), our users have never held back in relaying their responses to SOM's latest concepts. The firm's most recent offering comes in the form of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Research Building in New York City; a fritted glass and terracotta construction which is fast approaching the final stages of its second of three phases.
Nestled safely at the edge of this crystalline tower is the modest red-brick church of St. Catherine's, its rich dusky hues replicated in a central spine which runs the length and height of the entire Research Building which in effect 'bonds the project to its context'. In direct contrast to the tint of this open-jointed masonry screen, a large proportion of the Research Building is comprised of sheer glass in various levels of transparency. Not only does this protect the volume's users from the harsh glare of the sun but it also creates a dappled glow as the building is illuminated at night.
During the first phase of the build – completed in September 2006 – 288 'wet' research laboratories were installed along with a comprehensive conference centre including 18 conference rooms of various shapes and sizes. A vivarium was also created consisting of imaging and surgery facilities, alongside a library with four computer carrels. As the world's oldest and largest private institution dedicated solely to research, clinical care, and education in cancer, MSKCC was in desperate need of larger, more technologically advanced premises from which to further their vital research.
The second construction phase has introduced a number of 'dry' research laboratories, offices for the resident physicians, a 350-seat auditorium, and teaching rooms and offices for the Gerstner Sloan-Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Standing at 420ft in height and spread over an immense 692,000 sq ft, the mass of the completed building volume is visible from a significant distance. Whilst this may act as a glowing beacon for the institution itself – and indeed for SOM – the 23 storey tower casts a hefty shadow onto its neighbouring buildings, making its considerable bulk seem all the larger.

There's something delicious about Bill Clinton being asked to serve as the chief character witness for Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention. Clinton, let's recall, was a very messy president. His meetings didn't start on time; his speeches didn't end on time. His biggest legislative project, healthcare reform, never passed (unlike Obama's). He made compromises with Republicans; he made Democratic liberals furious. He even got impeached (and ultimately acquitted) over sexual peccadilloes, though nobody seems to remember the details now.
But Obama isn't asking Clinton to testify about his personal character. The president needs Clinton to vouch for his political character — to assure voters, especially white middle-class voters, that Obama feels their pain, knows how to do the job and deserves another four years.
During the primary campaign four years ago, Obama dismissed the Clintons, husband and wife, as exemplars of a discredited old politics — as "calculating" Democrats who weren't bold enough to aim high.
VIDEO: Can Obama energize youthful voters again?
Now Obama wishes he had more of what the Clintons had: the gift, honed in inhospitable Arkansas, of framing Democratic ideas in forms that wary middle-of-the-road voters can embrace. Obama, who launched his career in liberal Chicago and faced most of his early challenges from the left, still doesn't always have the hang of it.
Obama's decision to ask Clinton to be the one to officially nominate him — the first time a president has asked one of his predecessors to do that — makes that official. It was a direct personal request; aides say Obama telephoned Clinton to make the ask several weeks ago. Why? Because Clinton still has the touch.
Here, for example, is how Clinton defended the Obama economic record at a Democratic fundraiser in Virginia in April: "So if somebody says, 'Well, but I don't feel all that great yet,' or 'Not everything is back yet,' or 'It's still kind of slow yet,' you just remind them we've gotten 4 million jobs since the recession bottomed out; the ones we lost in the crash have been restored — thanks to the stimulus, which kept unemployment 11/2 to 2 points lower than it would have been; thanks to his restructuring of the American automobile industry, which saved a million and a half jobs and created 84,000 more."
Last weekend, Obama aides were still struggling to find an answer to the predictable question: Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Clinton had his answer ready long before the question was asked.
Friends report that the former president has been rooting for Obama all along but has been mystified at the incumbent's inability to sell his policies — his failure, for example, to make sure people knew that his much-derided stimulus package included a gigantic middle-class tax cut.
Clinton is to the Democrats as Ronald Reagan is to Republicans: the president they're all nostalgic for.
INTERACTIVE: Outside spending shapes 2012 election
Except for one very important difference: Most Democrats at this convention are nostalgic for Clinton, not for Clintonism. Reagan's party embraced his conservatism as its core ideology and ran with it, pushing it far beyond what Reagan himself envisioned. Clinton's party has edged away from his "New Democratic" centrism and moved a step back toward its old-school liberalism. The Democratic Leadership Council, the centrist organization Clinton helped build, has disbanded. The "blue dog" Democrats, members of Congress who fought for fiscal discipline and business-friendly policies, are mostly extinct. For many delegates in Charlotte, N.C., the most eagerly anticipated speaker isn't Bill Clinton; it's Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts liberal who's running for Senate.
But faithful Democrats still love Clinton, even if many of them think his politics are too accommodating to the 1%. They find his politics tame. When he takes the podium Wednesday night. Clinton will declare Obama his one true heir, laud him as being every bit as good a president as he was, and pronounce his agenda to be exactly what he (Bill) would have done. But don't believe a word of it.
There were substantive differences between Obama and Clinton in 2008, and some of them persist. They pop into the open once in a while, whenever Clinton feels strongly enough to deliver a public dissent. He did it in May, when he criticized the Obama campaign for attacking Mitt Romney's record as a businessman, and again in June, when he called for extending current tax rates instead of raising taxes on the wealthy.
COMMENTARY AND ANALYSIS: Presidential Election 2012
But those distinctions won't surface Wednesday night. Clinton will deliver what Obama needs most: a fervent endorsement, a rebuttal to Republican charges that Obama is gutting Clinton's welfare reform, a reminder to middle-class voters that Obama cut their taxes, and a warning that the GOP alternative is worse.
For Clinton, it will be a moment of sweet affirmation; he gets to be kingmaker, the man who might make a struggling candidate electable. For voters old enough to remember the Clinton administration, it will be a moment of nostalgia; for those too young (voters under 34 never saw Bill Clinton's name on a ballot), a chance to see what they missed.

This year's Midsummer Classic will be quickly forgotten by the American Leaguers who got crushed by the San Francisco Giants. Matt Cain, Melky Cabrera, Pablo Sandoval, and Buster Posey all contributed towards the National League's 8-0 victory over the American League. Amazingly the final score really leads people to believe that the entire AL team played horribly, and I'm not saying that the game was close, but only 3 American League pitchers allowed hits. Verlander and Harrison who combined to allow the 8 runs in just two innings. Five of their combined eight hits were for extra bases, which is unacceptable for any pitcher in a regular season game for just two innings work. But this is the All-Star game and I think Justin Verlander and Matt Harrison will survive. Chris Sale allowed 2 hits and fought out of the jam.
The bigger problem for the AL was only getting six hits. Two of those six were by Yankees and another was David Ortiz, making three out of six from the American League East. Oriole catcher, Matt Wieters, hit a ball that was caught at the Warning track, a ball that at Camden Yards is a home run.
As Orioles fans there are two positives from this game. The first is Jimmy Johnson's shutdown inning with a strikeout and setting the NL down 1-2-3 in the 8th. The 2nd positive is that in that 8th inning all three Oriole All Stars were on the field at the same time. That is the first time since 2005 that 3 Orioles were playing at the same time during the game. Unfortunately both Wieters and Adam Jones where hitless in their combined three at bats.
This loss was the 3rd straight for the American League after having a dominant reign in the thirteen seasons prior where they never lost and tied once in that miserable night in Milwaukee. With 21 of the last 26 World Series winners having home field advantage and the last nine teams to host a game seven, winning those contests, should this poor showing really give the National League representative of the Fall Classic the advantage? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I think the fact that a Wildcard team can receive home field advantage over a 100 game winning team is absolutely absurd. There is no good explanation for this other then Bud Selig wants fans to stay interested in the game. What he doesn't realize is that the MLB All Star Game is 100 times better then the other three games combined. The Pro Bowl is a joke, which many players turn down chances to play in, the NBA all star averages 300 points a game and the NHL has a fantasy draft for its game.
The MLB fans will take the All Star Game seriously weather it means anything or not, its an important night where the entire country's spotlight is on this one game because there is no other important event in the country happening on this night. Selig needs to cut the crap and "make it fun" and not "make it count." By the way the last home team to lose a game seven at home happens to ironically be our beloved Orioles in '79 to Pittsburgh.

An Ohio roofing company is contesting two safety citations issued by federal workplace overseers who said a worker died from heat stroke complications.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration said A.H. Sturgill Roofing of Dayton failed to provide a program addressing heat-related hazards and to train workers to recognize heat-related illness symptoms.
Sturgill said Thursday it is contesting citations for alleged violations related to a temporary worker possibly being overcome by heat stroke at a Miamisburg work site.
Sturgill says it has a comprehensive safety program and the temperature was 82 degrees that day.
OSHA says the 60-year-old worker had heat stroke working in direct sunlight on a flat commercial roof in the Dayton suburb and was hospitalized Aug. 1, dying Aug. 22.
OSHA is proposing an $8,800 fine.

12/13/03-- Three people were killed in a tragic overnight accident in Grayson County. In a tragic twist, investigators are still trying to identify two of them.
It happened around 3:15 am on Highway 82, two miles east of Sherman on a notoriously dangerous curve.
DPS Investigators say an Isuzu Trooper SUV, driven by 20-year-old Sara Floy SLominski of Denison, crossed the center line and slammed into a Cadillac; that vehicle went up in flames.
Investigators have not been able to identify two bodies found dead inside. The fire destroyed the Cadillac and it had paper plates, which is making the victims even more difficult to identify. All three people died at the scene; the cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Hi, there are quite a lot of tools around to measure IO, storage performance, also known as IO workload generator, or storage benchmark.
One of it is called ndisk from the suite nstress. ndisk was developed on AIX, and has been ported to LINUX.
This new version runs on AIX, LINUX on Intel, LINUX on Power.
This version now has been enhanced to use threads instead of starting several processes, and a lot of debug fixing has been included :-)
Supporting: creation; random; streaming IO; read/write percentage; block sizes; number of parallel IO processes; Asynchronous IO (AIO),
and running multiple ndisks on multiple systems !
Flags like O_DIRECT; O_SYNC, sync();
Output: IO/s; MB/s; min/max/avg read/write response time; response time distribution (table).
Able to simulate OLTP, OLAP, SAP HANA TDI, backup, restore, ...
Run ndisk -h or ndisk --help to see the details.
The tool can be found on IBM TechDocs:
Best Regards, Markus Fehling
