GSA eOffer, E-Authentication Expand Business Opportunities
GSA #10325March 6, 2007
Contact: Jon Anderson (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC — The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) announced today that small and medium-sized business customers of WellsSecure, a business unit of Wells Fargo Bank, will now have access to FAS' premier online proposal submission program—eOffer—using WellsSecure digital certificates. This is the latest successful public-private partnership under the U.S. E-Authentication Identity Federation managed by GSA's E-Authentication Initiative. eOffer's acceptance of WellsSecure digital certificates represents a significant milestone for increasing the ability of small and medium-sized businesses to interact electronically with the federal government
"The eOffer program provides an interactive, secure electronic environment for businesses to submit contract proposals under five GSA multiple award schedules," said FAS Commissioner James A. Williams. "This simplifies the contracting process from start to finish, reducing the paperwork burden for businesses and contracting officers—which translates into substantial savings for the American taxpayer." Williams added, "As GSA's primary procurement and acquisition office, FAS is making great strides to expand and make possible business and citizen access to web-based government programs and services."
As an E-Authentication Identity Federation member, Wells Fargo offers its WellsSecure digital certificates to be used to access other Federation member online applications. WellsSecure complies with federal government policies and standards, as well as Federation governance and operational standards.
The E-Authentication Initiative provides the framework and managed services for a secure, consistent and standardized approach for verifying the online identity of citizens, businesses and other governments accessing federal government applications and services. Through membership in the Federation, federal agencies can rely on identity credentials such as PINs, user IDs, passwords and digital certificates issued and managed by other organizations within and outside the federal government.
Members of the Federation include relying parties (federal agencies and applications) and credential service providers that have adopted a set of agreements, standards and technologies—based upon approved policy and technology standards established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Office of Management and Budget—to make identity portable and secure across multiple domains.
E-Authentication was approved as the Authentication Service Component of the Federal Enterprise Architecture in August 2005. For more information on eOffer, E-Authentication and WellsSecure, visit http://eoffer.gsa.gov, http://www.cio.gov/eauthentication and http://www.wellssecure.com.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA is the lead federal agency for E-Authentication, the cross-cutting eGovernment Initiative included in the President's Management Agenda. The E-Authentication Initiative helps agencies mitigate the security and privacy risks associated with electronic government by making available trusted electronic credentials, (PINs, passwords, digital certificates) and interoperable technology products and services that can be used by agencies to authenticate individuals for access to on-line applications. Individuals can include citizens, business representatives, agents of other governments (state, local, tribal) and federal employees.

It has now become necessary that I make this statement concerning my decision to terminate Mrs. Mary Golding. My hope was that this situation would not have to be aired out in the media, for the sake of how this situation can damage the reputations of myself, the office, and Mrs. Golding. I myself have worked hard over the past years to be involved in the community and to lead a life that I hope will draw honor and glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because he is Worthy.

Orlando, Fla. • Trey Burke's first work trip to central Florida was memorable for all the wrong reasons. But that "was a long, long time ago," Utah Jazz coach Ty Corbin said with a smile Wednesday. "We forgot about that."
Six months after Burke looked overwhelmed and underwhelming in summer league play, shooting just 24 percent and hitting one of his 19 attempts from 3-point territory, the Jazz rookie put together the finest game of his young pro career, propelling Utah to a 86-82 win over the Magic at Amway Center.
"He was waiting to get back to Orlando, I guess," Corbin said.
While Victor Oladipo, the Magic's rookie guard who was drafted seven spots ahead of Burke in June, missed 10 of his 11 shots, Utah's young floor leader scored a season-high 30 points, dished eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds.
"Night from day. Night from day," Burke said of his improvement since July. "Coming in here during the summer league, it was a new pace for me, a new speed, size was different."
The ninth pick in the draft was frustrated by his early play, but said his summer-time struggles helped make him better.
"Absolutely," he said. "As a rookie, you always want to come in and play well, especially in summer league. That's your first evaluation from everybody. Obviously, I didn't play the way I wanted to play or the way I know I can play. It definitely motivated me to work harder."
And while it wasn't foremost on Burke's mind that Orlando was one of eight teams to pass on him in the draft, perhaps it didn't hurt, either.
"Obviously, it was a team that was early in the lottery," Burke said. "That wasn't my main intention or my main goal, but I definitely wanted to come out and be aggressive. For me, I'm trying to win and do whatever it takes for the team to win."
He did just that Wednesday.
Coming off a blowout loss in Miami, the Jazz controlled things early in Orlando, assembling a 27-20 lead by the end of the first quarter, absorbing a Magic run, and then pushing the advantage to as much as 12 in the second.
But even with Orlando missing its leading scorer, swingman Arron Afflalo and his 21 points a night, the Magic made things difficult for the visitors.
Down six to start the final quarter, Orlando's E'Twaun Moore hit a pair of 3-pointers to help fuel a 14-1 Magic run. With the Jazz down seven points and less than eight minutes to play in the game, Burke, Gordon Hayward, Marvin Williams and Derrick Favors checked back into the game for Utah.
"I just told him, 'G, we've got to be more aggressive,'" Burke said.
Hayward, who had struggled with his shot early, hit an 18-footer, part of a 15-point, seven-assist, six-rebound night. Favors scored on a tip-in. Burke hit a jumper. Then Williams put the Jazz back on top with a 3.
With 10 seconds to go and the Jazz up 2, Orlando had a chance to tie or win. Point guard Jameer Nelson took the inbound pass, and with Burke guarding him, drove to the basket. Favors, who had 14 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks, didn't get his fingers on Nelson's final shot, but his long arms bothered it just enough.
Nelson finished with 17 points and needing at least two more.

Here are some basic tasks that you can do to help you learn how to use Microsoft Visio 2010.
In this article
What is Visio?
Visio 2010 is a graphical and drawing application that helps you to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information. With Visio, you can transform complicated text and tables that are hard to understand into Visio diagrams that communicate information at a glance.
Visio provides modern shapes and templates for a diverse set of diagramming needs, including IT management, process modeling, building and architecture, UI design, human-resource management, project management, and more.
Data-connected Visio diagrams
Instead of static pictures, you can create data-connected Visio Professional 2010 and Visio Premium 2010 diagrams that display data, are easy to refresh, and dramatically increase your productivity. You can use the wide variety of diagram templates and stencils in Visio to understand, act on, and share information about organizational systems, resources, and processes throughout your enterprise.
You can integrate data to shapes from a variety of real-time data sources, including Excel, Access, SQL, SharePoint lists, or any OLEDB or ODBC data source, with just a few clicks in a Data Wizard.
Web drawings with Visio Services
Beyond basic sharing via e-mail or static web pages, the latest innovations in Visio 2010 allow users the ability to see rich, compelling visuals, shapes, and processes via their browser – even if they don't have Visio. You can publish Visio Professional 2010 and Visio Premium 2010 web drawings using Visio Services, a feature of SharePoint Server 2010 that renders interactive and data-connected diagrams. Your Visio Web drawings can display data from a variety of sources, including Excel, SQL, SharePoint lists, or any OLEDB or ODBC data source.
Warning: Access Services is not supported for data linking in Visio Web drawings.
In addition, by connecting your web diagrams to a refreshable source file, viewers can see real-time data within the shapes, giving them an accurate and up-to-date picture.
Find and apply a template
Visio 2010 allows you to apply built-in templates, to apply your own custom templates, and to search from a variety of templates available on Office.com. Office.com provides a wide selection of popular Excel templates.
To find and apply a template in Visio, do the following:
On the File tab, click New.
Under Choose a Template, do one of the following:
To use one of the built-in templates, under Template Categories, click the category that you want, and then click the template that you want and click Create.
To reuse a template that you've recently used, under Recently Used Templates, click the template that you want and then click Create.
To use your own template that you previously created, under Other Ways to Get Started, click New from existing, navigate to the file that you want and click Create New.
To find a template on Office.com, under Other Ways to Get Started, click Office.com templates, select the template that you want, and then click Download to download the template from Office.com to your computer.
Note: You can also search for templates on Office.com from within Visio. To search for templates on Office.com, under Other Ways to Get Started, click Office.com templates. In the Search Office.com for templates box, type one or more search terms, and then click the arrow button to search.
Create a new diagram
Click the File tab. This opens up the Backstage view.
Note: You are in the Backstage view when you first open Visio. If you have just opened Visio, proceed to the next step.

PDF or XPS file
AutoCAD drawing in DWG or DXF format.
Add a shape
From the Shapes window, click and hold the shape that you want.
Drag the shape onto the diagram page.
For more information about how to add shapes, see Use the Shapes window to organize and find shapes and Find more shapes and stencils.
Add a connector between two shapes
To add a shape to the drawing page so that it is automatically connected when it is added to the page, do the following:
Drag a first shape onto the drawing page.
Hold your pointer over the shape that is already on the page. Notice that small blue arrows appear on the four sides of the shape. These are AutoConnect arrows that you can use to connect shapes.
The Service Request shape with the AutoConnect arrows shown.
Move the pointer to cover one of the arrows.
A mini toolbar that contains four shapes appears, and a preview shape might also appear on the page. As you move the pointer over the shapes in the mini toolbar, previews of the shapes appear. The shapes on the toolbar are the top four shapes from the Quick Shapes area.
Click one of the shapes in the mini toolbar to add it to the page.
To automatically connect two shapes when you drag the second shape onto the page, do the following:
Drag one shape onto the drawing page.
Drag a second shape onto the drawing page and hold it so it covers the first shape, but do not drop it yet. Notice that the AutoConnect arrows appear.
The Analyze shape is placed on the bottom AutoConnect arrow on the Service Request shape.
Move the second shape down over the AutoConnect arrow that points in the direction that you want, and drop it on the arrow.
The Analyze shape is spaced a standard distance from the Service Request shape, and is connected automatically.
To connect two shapes that are already on the page, do the following:
Hold the pointer over one of the shapes that you want to connect.
When the AutoConnect arrows appear, move the pointer over an arrow that is pointing toward the other shape that you want to connect to.
Click and hold the AutoConnect arrow, and then drag a connector from it to the center of the other shape.
When the arrow is over the center of the other shape, a red border appears around the shape. Drop the connector to attach it, or "glue" it, to the shape.

In the Value box, type the value of the data that you want.
Click OK.
Right-click the shape again, point to Data, and this time click Shape Data.
The Shape Data window opens and displays all the data that has been defined for the shape. If all of the shapes have specific information, you can leave the Shape Data window open and click the shapes you are interested in to see the data that they contain.
Connect data sources to shapes
Adding shape data manually can add a lot of value to your diagram, but if your data is in a database or an Excel workbook, you can pull that data into your diagram automatically and connect the rows of data with specific shapes.
Use the Data Selector wizard to import your data into the External Data window.
The data that appears in the External Data window is a snapshot of your source data at the time of import. You can update the data in your drawing to match the changes in your source data by clicking Refresh All on the Data tab.
On the Data tab, in the External Data group, click Link Data to Shapes.
On the first page of the Data Selector wizard, choose which of the following types of data sources have the data you're using:

I had to go with Hee Haw. A few reasons...I use to watch it with my grandfather when I was a little girl (he died when I was 11) and because of all those on the list it's the only one I ever saw more than once
How about "Sha Na Na"...that one I watched with my dad! We both LOVED it

I thought Carol Burnett Show was going to win this one hands down. At least they are still in it.
I remember shields and yarnell freaking me out as a kid, man i hated that show, part of the reason why i still to this day fear mimes.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
The Muppet Show should really be included
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
the Dean Martin Show should have been on that poll. It ran from 1965-74. Loved the roasts, and especially Foster Brooks.
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
The Dean Martin roasts were very funny, Sonny and Cher was also pretty good sometimes, but Carol Burnett was consistently funny.

SYDNEY — Sources close to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey league have confirmed a trade on Monday for Sherbrooke Phoenix defenceman and team captain Jonathan Deschamps.
In the deal, which cannot be officially announced until the start of the league's trading period on May 30, the Eagles acquired Deschamps, 18, and a fourth-round pick in the 2016 entry draft.
In return, the Screaming Eagles sent 18-year-old goaliender Alex Bureau to the Pheoneix , along with a second-round pick in the upcoming entry draft (39th overall) and the rights to defenceman Louis-Philippe Pagé, a 2012 Screaming Eagles second-round draft choice who never played with the team. If Pagé plays for the Phoenix, the fourth-round 2016 pick sent to the Eagles could become a third-round pick.
Bureau, a former second-round pick, 21st overall, by the Screaming Eagles in 2012, posted a 21-19 win-loss record with a 3.78 goals against average and a 0.868 save percentage during the 2013-14 season.
Deschamps had three assists in 61 games with the second-year Phoenix last season.
The draft is May 31 in Sherbrooke, Que., one day after the league's trading period opens.

Results 1 to 3 of 3
What Hemingway had to say about guided hunts
"Even Pop in one of the greatest rackets of all, the safari swindle, had very strict ethics' the strictest. The customer must be taken for every possible cent but he must be given results. All Great White Hunters were touching about how they loved the game and hated to kill anything but usually what they were thinking about was preserving the game for the next client that would come along. They did not want to frighten it by unnecessary shooting and they wanted a country to be left so that they might take another client into it and it seem like unspoiled, never shot-over, primitive Africa that they could rush their clients through giving them the best results.
Pop had explained all this to me many years before and said...."You know no one's conscience would ever let them do this to anyone twice. If they like them I mean."
But it had turned out that rich people liked how much it cost and they came back again and again and it always cost more and was something that others could not do so it was increasingly attractive. Old rich people died and there were always new ones and the animals decreased as the stock market rose. It was a big revenue-producing industry for the Colony too and because of this the Game Department, which had control over those who practiced the industry, had, with its development, produced new ethics that handled, or nearly handled, everything."
-Ernest Hemingway, "True at First Light"
'Nuff said.Custom SIDEPLATES for Discriminating Archers
"Cows may come and cows may go, but the Bull in this place goes on forever!"
Sounds like he wasn't real big on canned hunts.
Nope. I have also noticed that people approach a guided hunt not as paying money for the opportunity to "hunt" but as payment for an animal of a certain size or measurement. They expect guaranteed success.
Hemingway always hunted lions and leopards by walking to them rather than shooting from the safety of land rovers as became the practice during the last part of his life. So canned hunts for dangerous game in Africa now involve not only guaranteed success, but guaranteed safety as well.
Not near the wonderful experience that was once the case in the past.

ELLE 25 Summer Cocktail Party
Get Your Oscar Ballots Ready! On The Heels of Her Blue Valentine Best Actress Nod: Michelle As Marilyn
In My Week With Marilyn, Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams channels the original bottle blond with surprisingly few flirtatious winks. Instead, she employs the melancholy, often empty-eyed gazes that characterized Norma Jeane while she filmed The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier during the summer of 1956. "It was an extraordinarily important moment in Marilyn's life," says director Simon Curtis. "She was newly married to this intellectual husband [Arthur Miller], and she came to England to work with Olivier because she thought she would be taken seriously as an actress. Michelle just had an instinct about Marilyn. We filmed at Pinewood [Studios], which was where [The Prince and the Showgirl] had been made, and when Michelle does that exquisite dance in my film, that was on the same soundstage where Marilyn had actually done that. There's something about retreading those steps that is incredibly potent."
The De Kooning Retrospective at MOMA: Art History
Abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning's career both invigorated and epitomized the midcentury New York art scene. Fourteen years after his death, the Museum of Modern Art, which in 1958 offered the artist a show—"not ready," he said then—will house a retrospective spanning nearly seven decades and featuring drawings, sculpture, prints, and paintings, including the biomorphic Pink Angels and Excavation, a fugue of shapes and crackling brushstrokes.

Speaker of the House and Xavier alumnus John Boehner honored at men's basketball game Saturday
| January 22, 2011
U.S. House Speaker and Xavier graduate John Boehner was among the fans at the Cintas Center Saturday, Jan. 22, as the men's basketball team took on Atlantic 10 rival Temple.
Boehner was greeted upon his arrival by Xavier graduate Erin McDermott, who was once an intern in his office, and current Xavier student and Politics, Philosophy and the Public major Nick Reinel.
During the first half, the Speaker was honored by University President Michael J. Graham, S.J,. and was presented with a personalized Xavier athletic jacket.
View the complete game photo gallery.
Boehner also spoke with Xavier basketball radio announcers Joe Sunderman and Byron Larkin, as well as Xavier guard Brad Redford for Redford's behind-the-scenes blog.
Boehner graduated from Xavier in 1977 with a degree in business administration. He was encouraged to attend Xavier in 1971 by the late Bill Smith, an accounting professor.
During his first semester he took three classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings and worked part-time jobs. After passing those first classes with an 'A' and two 'B's, Boehner spent the next year as a full-time commuter student, but had trouble making ends meet. For the next five years he worked full time and attended night school at Xavier to complete his degree.
Saturday was Boehner's first return to campus as Speaker, but this was not his first trip to Xavier since joining the ranks of Congressional leadership. In 2006 he spoke at Xavier's undergraduate commencement ceremony. During that event, Xavier awarded Boehner a degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa. Bill Smith was his honored guest at the ceremony.
For more about Boehner, including the text and video of his commencement speech, photo galleries and national media coverage, see the article in the latest Xavier magazine.

Surfing for BBQ-ing tips the other day, I wandered into some chat forums where it's "All-Barbecue, All the Time." Make no mistake, those "Q-ers" are serious about cooking their meat. The best cuts, types of fuel, which wood for smoking, the tools, curing, venting, seasoning & preparing, temps and times. To them, grilling a steak is like customizing a car– the body may be pretty, but it's all about what goes under the hood.
Not happy with their out-of-the-box units, some guys retrofit their BBQ grills (as I said, like a car). For example, Phil Lee of Hawg Heaven Smokin' Barbecue modified his smoker…
…with 10" air tires (#30900) to better deal with mobility on lawns, parks, campsites and such.
My favorite modification is the BBQ trailer: A Q-er will either remove the legs from their BBQ grill, and then bolt or weld them onto a utility trailer, or build one up from scratch–making them über-mobile! Here's a great example of a customized, homemade barbecue trailer– created by a fellow named Spankerchief— on SmokingMeatForums.com…
…using the Haul-Master 1720 Lb. Capacity Super Duty 48″ X 96″ Utility Trailer with 12" Wheels (#94564). In fact, every BBQ forum I clicked on had at least one thread where an adventurous "trailer Q-er" incorporated a Haul-Master utility trailer from Harbor Freight. Several put their projects together using the popular & affordable Chicago Electric 90 Amp Flux Wire Welder (#68887).
The online BBQ cooks were all loaded for bear with gear that supported their grilling operations. The Propane Torch with Igniter (#91037) was a favorite– for its turbo performance and for its great, low price. The Instant Read Digital Thermometer (#95382) was also popular, for its accuracy and, again, price. Also included were the Compact Food Slicer (#42787), Electric Meat Grinder (#99598) and plenty of protective wear like nitrile, PVC-dipped and/or welding gloves.
Needless to say, I was bitten by the BBQ bug and ended up getting a "barrel-style" barbecue grill with smoker side box, as well as the igniter and thermometer. I also picked up this pair of welding gloves, and, of course, a BBQ cookbook. I'll probably get the 10" wheels next (they look cool).
Now all I have to do is experiment on the meat and hope I don't burn anything vital… like Sunday dinner.

Adele, from Cleveland UK writes:
My computer is running really slow, it takes about 5 minutes or more to open a program. What could be the cause of this? I am running Windows XP SP2,Version 2002,With AMD Sempron2800,2.01GHz,448mb RAM.
The first thing that jumps out at me, Adele, is that you're running less than 1/2GB of RAM. Your RAM dictates the amount of information that you're able to have running on your system at one time. Personally, on my old laptop, I'm running Windows XP with SP 3 and 2GB of RAM, and I STILL occasionally suffer system slowdown.
Probably the simplest fix for this is to increase your system's RAM to it's maximum. If you go to www.crucial.com, they have a tool there for determining the maximum RAM for your system. DDR2 RAM is fairly inexpensive, especially if you go to a big box electronics store. Installing your own RAM isn't terribly difficult, but if you would rather have someone else do it, many stores will install your RAM for free if you buy it from them.
One thing that slows your system down terribly when you're running that little RAM is what's called "hard drive caching". Once your system has effectively eaten up your available RAM, it starts snacking on your hard drive (or caching), and creating what's called "virtual RAM" from your hard drive space. Since your hard drive is much, much slower than RAM, this creates a drag on your system. Also, if your hard drive is nearing full, this will slow your system down even more. I'll talk more about a full hard drive in a bit.
In the meantime, there is something that you can do that may help you regain some speed. Windows XP allows itself to run a little more efficiently by doing something called "prefetching". When it does this, it retains a bit of a program in C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch. Probably the easiest way to get to this, is to click your Start button, then My Computer.
In My Computer, click on your C: drive, then your Windows Directory, then the Prefetch Directory. The screen that you get should look something like this:
You can also access the Prefetch Directory by either typing or copying and pasting the following, C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch into the address bar as shown below.
One you have that, click on any file and hold the Ctrl key and press the A key (Crtl+A) to select all the files, and then press the Delete key. Poof, they're gone. In my case, it cleared out 130 items. It would be a good idea to restart your system at this point. Not only will that allow this change to take full effect, it will also close any background programs that you have running.
Although this will be only a nominal speed increase compared to increasing your RAM, it is possible that your hard drive is full or nearly full. When your hard drive approaches the full point, not only is it difficult for Windows to locate and execute necessary files, it also will not be possible to defragment the computer. The simplest way to free up space is to run a Disk Cleanup. The surest way to get to Disk Cleanup is to click Start, then Run. Type cleanmgr in the Run box and click OK.
You can learn more about Disk Cleanup and find some other regular PC maintenance tips here.
This should free up some space for you, and may speed your system up a little. Next, I would suggest running a defrag. To do this, click on start, then on My Computer. Right-click on your C: drive and click Properties.
Next, click on the Tools tab, and then Defragment Now.
All of these tips may help somewhat, but nothing will help as much as increasing your RAM or possibly replacing your system. You may find that, if your RAM is outdated and your hard drive is nearing capacity, it may simply be less expensive in the long run to simply replace your computer.
Hope this helps.

Web Guides: GenealogyBank
By David A. Fryxell
How to make the most of historical newspaper and document subscription site GenealogyBank.
Subscription data service
may be relatively new to family history researchers, but librarians have relied on its parent company,
, since 1972. Newsbank started with a simple database and print index to clippings from 100 newspapers, sold to libraries as a reference tool. Acquisitions—of Readex Microprint, Knight-Ridder's MediaStream and the Evans Digital Collection of Early American Imprints—expanded NewsBank's news and historical records offerings.
Today, the company is a leading purveyor of online newspaper archives, with content from the 1980s to the present from more than 700 titles in all 50 states.
But these riches were mostly under family historians' radar until 2006, when NewsBank launched its first product for consumers rather than institutions. GenealogyBank taps NewsBank's library databases and historical newspapers from the American Antiquarian Society to offer genealogists four record collections. Make the most of GenealogyBank with our guide to the site.
Navigating the bank
Most people equate GenealogyBank with newspapers, but its collections encompass even more. They total 260,000 books and documents—including content from more than 3,800 newspapers—with more than 1 billion names, which you can search separately or all at once.
n Historical Newspapers (1690-1980): Search 150 million-plus newspaper articles, obituaries, birth and marriage notices, and advertisements.
America's Obituaries (1977-present):
These recent obituaries and death notices total more than 130 million.
Historical Books (1801-1900):
This wide-ranging assortment of hard-to-find printed items (not necessarily all "books") includes family genealogies, local histories, funeral sermons and biographies.
Historical Documents (1789-1980):
Military records, casualty lists, Revolutionary and Civil War pension requests, widow's claims, orphan petitions and land grants are in this collection. You'll find the US Congressional Serial Set, a whopping 13,800 volumes of reports, documents and journals from the US Senate and House of Representatives spanning 1817 to 1980; as well as the American State Papers, legislative and executive documents from 1789 to 1838.
GenealogyBank also offers for free the Social Security Death Index (SSDI), which you can find at other sites including
Opening an account
Getting around GenealogyBank is simple. Links at the upper right corner of every page take you to the home page, an About Us page, the Subscribe page, a Help page or a Login page. If you click the "remember my e-mail and password" box on the login page, you won't have to re-enter this info every time you visit. (If you share a computer, however, keep in mind that others using it might be able to access your account and credit-card data.) Once you've logged in, three more links appear in the top right corner: Account Info, Logout and Renew Membership.
If you run a search and click a match, not surprisingly, you'll get a pitch to subscribe. Or you can click the Subscribe link in the upper right corner. A monthly subscription, which renews automatically, costs $19.95. A year's subscription (which also automatically renews) represents a considerable savings over the monthly rate at $69.95. GenealogyBank also frequently runs introductory deals, such as a $9.95 trial rate for the first 30 days.
Withdrawing records
The remarkable aspect of GenealogyBank's content is that it's fully searchable—every single word—and linked to digitized copies of the original documents. And it keeps adding content, especially newspapers and obituaries.
You can start a search right from the home page by entering a last name, middle initial and/or first name. Or click on Advanced Search for more options: keywords to add or exclude and date range. Hitting Begin Search on the home page automatically searches all GenealogyBank collections.
See our
step-by-step search demos of GenealogyBank
On the lower half of the home page, GenealogyBank collections are divided into two groups:
Historical Family History Records (contains Historical Newspapers, Historical Books and Historical Documents)
Recent Family History Records (contains America's Obituaries and the SSDI)
The distinction is important when it comes to searching: Historical Family History Records databases aren't indexed by name per se—rather, names are treated like any other keyword. When you enter a last and first name to search, GenealogyBank searches its historical collections as though you'd entered two keywords with the instruction NEAR2 (search for the keywords occurring within two words of each other). So, as a practical matter, it makes no difference which name, first or last, goes in which box. You could get the same results for
Smith, John
as for
John, Smith
, or by skipping the name boxes entirely and typing
Smith NEAR2 John
John NEAR2 Smith
in the keyword box.
On the other hand, Recent Family History Records (obituaries and SSDI) actually "understand" first and last names. So if you're searching these collections, entering names in the appropriate boxes does make a difference.
In any collection, typing a date in the Date box can hone your search. 1804-1849, June 1840-August 1849 and June 6, 1840-August 7, 1849 are all acceptable date formats. You can even type in a single day, such as June 6, 1840. Keep in mind that news items and documents about your ancestors may have been published some time after the event.
Once you've done a search, the links in the gray bar on the left of the results pages will take you to hits (or searches, if you opted to search a single collection) in other collections. In Historical Newspapers, below these links you'll see links to hits within specific categories (such as advertisements, birth notices and even poetry). Scroll down below your results to see options for refining your search.
You can always get back to the home page by clicking Home or the GenealogyBank logo. If you're stumped, an Ask the Genealogist feature (click the circle at the lower right of the home page) lets you pose questions to Tom Kemp, NewsBank's director of genealogy projects, and read Q&As from other users.
Narrowing the odds
Clicking on any collection from the home page takes you to a search page for just that collection. The Historical Newspapers search form has a drop-down box that lets you search only content added since a specified month. If you've already pored over the database, this is a quick way to check for anything new while skipping documents you've seen.
Only the Historical Newspapers collection lets you drill down to search within a specific locale or title. To limit your newspaper search to one or more states where your ancestors lived, check the boxes beside the states' names. Click the state name to see exactly which of its cities are covered. On the resulting page, you can further narrow your search by checking one or more boxes by cities' names. Click on the city name and you'll jump to a similar setup listing newspapers from that city. Finally, click on a newspaper's name to search just that publication. Here you can also check dates of coverage, which can be quite narrow for some newspapers.
GenealogyBank has only 1899 to 1901 issues of the Phoenix Weekly Republican, for instance.
To see an alphabetical list of GenealogyBank newspaper titles by state, click the View Title List link for the collection on the home page, or on the newspaper search page.
The lengthy list gives the coverage dates for each, and whether the title is in the Historical Newspapers or America's Obituaries collection.
Similar links take you to the title lists for the other historical collections. The extensive lists will wear out your scrolling patience, so search for titles that interest you by typing a city or other word your browser's Find command (CTRL-F on a PC or Command-F on a Mac). You can sort the Historical Books list by genre, author or date by clicking on these labels at the top of each column. The same trick doesn't work, alas, for the multipage listing of 225,675 Historical Documents.
Maximizing your assets
Keep in mind that all the historical collections employ full-text searching via optical character-recognition (OCR) technology. The OCR "scanner" occasionally misreads the page, so you may get incorrect matches: An article says "bolted" when you searched on
, for example. Nor does OCR differentiate between proper names and other words—a search for your Stark family will also turn up phrases such as "stark contrast."
But you can use the Include and Exclude keyword search boxes to your advantage. Once you've fine-tuned your results by date, try typing a place name in the Include box. To avoid false hits, try excluding keywords that keep polluting your results (such as "contrast" for the Stark family). Similarly, if your search for Ohio ancestors gets confounded with Texans of the same surname, type
in the Exclude box.
That's just the beginning, however, of GenealogyBank's searching prowess. If you're still getting too few or too many results, try these tricks:
Wildcards can account for spelling variations—especially because there's no Soundex searching—whether it's the fault of OCR or the original document. Use a question mark (?) for a single wild-card character and an asterisk (*) for multiple characters (up to five). These are particularly useful when searching old publications in which, for example, the long
can look like an
(search for
instead of
Quotation marks limit a search to an exact phrase, which could be a name (
"George Clough"
) or any other word combo, such as a place (
"Sioux Falls"
), you type into the keyword search box.
Boolean operators can dictate complex search logic. GenealogyBank recognizes not only the basic AND and OR but also NEAR and ADJ (adjacent). The latter two terms require a number, which represents the maximum word count that should separate your two terms. The difference between them is that ADJ is order-specific, while NEAR is not.
For example,
Emily NEAR3 Dickinson
finds any instance of Emily and Dickinson, in any order, within three words of each other:
Emily Ann Dickinson
as well as
Dickinson, her sister Emily ...
Samuel ADJ2 Clemens
finds instances of
followed by
within two words—as in
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
but not
... Clemens. Then Samuel …"
Scanning the obits
Searching America's Obituaries works much like the historical collections, except this database recognizes first and last names. Start with just a surname, unless it's a common name. The same ? and * wildcards work here, and you can include or exclude keywords, such as place names, names of relatives who might be mentioned in the obituary, occupations, companies or organizations. Use quotation marks to enclose phrases (
"naval academy"
) as well as names of places or relatives searched as keywords (
"Santa Fe,"
"Juan Gonzalez"
The America's Obituaries search gives you a Publication Location drop-down box to select any single state. Remember that this is the state where the publication printing the obituary is located, not necessarily where your ancestor lived.
Unlike other online versions, GenealogyBank's SSDI database is updated weekly. It's also integrated with the obituaries database, so a result for Sam Smith in Minnesota brings up a link to search for Smith family obituaries. You can search by name or Social Security Number; specify a year range for birth and/or death dates; and narrow your search by last known residence or the state where a Social Security card was issued.
Cashing in
You can refine your search using the options at the bottom of the results page. Historical Newspapers lets you refine your search by state (and ultimately by publication) and displays links to results by category—so you can, for instance, click straight to the 45 birth notices for Dickinson without wading through all 336,530 hits.
A drop-down box in the upper-right corner lets you sort results by best matches (the default) or date. Use the icons below the results to click to the next page of hits. There's no way, unfortunately, to increase the number of hits displayed per screen.
When you click on the title of a hit (or on the preview image in Historical Newspapers), you get a view of the original document (America's Obituaries and the SSDI display a complete transcription instead). A Highlight option at the top left of the record viewer toggles on and off highlighting of your search term on the document (though this sometimes doesn't work right). Tools at the top right let you zoom, drag, re-center or maximize the image, download it or print it. In Historical Newspapers, click the newspaper-page icon to see the entire page; then click to select an individual article.
Links to the left of the image list all your hits within this publication. If you'd really rather browse through all the pages, regardless of whether your search term appears thereon, click the "List all pages in this issue" link.
GenealogyBank can prove hit or miss: You may find a wealth of information or you may come up empty. The newspaper coverage varies, and unlike wider-ranging subscription sites, there's no search of censuses, vital records and the like. But it's a great site to try for recently deceased kin—whose obituaries can unlock clues taking you far back in time—or when you've hit a brick wall. Those ancestors who've been "hiding" from you might turn out to be, well, like money in the bank.

Dear Member:
Thank you for your contribution to our family list of mental health outlets and support groups available in your area. Based on member feedback from our last request for your assistance, we were able to add more information. As you scroll down, you will see the new information and member inquiries written in red.
Please review the list and let us know of any additional resources you know in those areas. Email us directly at http://email@example.com. Thank you for your help!
FOS11 Family Members are still looking for additional support groups in:CaliforniaSan Francisco Bay Area
In response to the San Francisco family member, we received the following email from a FOS11 member: In addition to the dozen's of "Healing Your Life After the Loss of a Loved One" workshops and trainings (given at the WTC Family Recovery and Bereavement Center), and support groups we started in the NY area, our Families Helping Families Program has been facilitating free, monthly "9/11 Support Groups" for many families in California. We also have CD Rom tools (focused on Healing) for family members as well. Please visit http://jennadruck.org or call Ken Druck at 619-294-8000 for more information.
I am interested in joining a chat group with others who have lost a sibling on 9/11, especially those who feel left out due to our geographical distance. I live in Atlanta. My sister and her family were passengers on AA77. (FOS11 is presently organizing a chat program that will enable siblings and other groupings of family members to participate in a facilitated chat online with others. Please look for this program in the upcoming months.)
FloridaFor family members in Florida, please consider the following email response from a FOS11 member: There are 3 family members in the immediate area of Fort Lauderdale. We know there are others. A few months back there were about 8-13 family members from the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. Maybe we could organize families as far north as Jacksonville/Orlando to as far south as Miami to meet once a month or every 3 weeks in a central location, like West Palm Beach. To learn more, let FOS11 know you are interested in joining this group. Email FOS11 at http://email@example.com and write "Florida Support Group" in the subject line. We will connect you to this group.
Several mothers met in May of this year at the Red Cross in Fort Lauderdale. We all had issues with how the meeting was handled by the Red Cross and their lack of response to our needs. The social worker that was there was good, though the psychiatrist said he was "learning from us." We need to have another meeting - without the Red Cross - I really hope it will happen.
Boca Raton
Port St. LucieThere are no groups near me in Port St. Lucie, Florida. I have contacted and have been in email contact with a volunteer from ACCESS which has been helpful. Otherwise, assistance is no where to be found. Please help.
JacksonvilleI would love to find a support group in Jacksonville, FL. If you could request information from other members (in Florida or with a connection to Florida) as well I would appreciate it.
MissouriKansas CityI am interested in support groups in the Kansas City area. I am not aware of any for 9/11 families. Thanks.
If you have any recommendations for 9/11 support groups in these areas of the country, please email us at http://firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible. We hope to continue connecting families with resources, and your help is imperative to this effort. Send us more input - we will continue expanding this list and share it with all of you. Let us keep reaching out to other families - especially at this time of year.
MontanaWith regard to the families in other geographic areas looking for support, I have encountered a similar feeling of being "out of touch" due to the fact that I live in Montana. While my state is not close to the families listed, I would like to offer a suggestion that perhaps a family might be willing to share their contact information with someone in a similar situation (living far away). I know that I would welcome contact with similar family in another faraway location. We truly understand what that feels like to be "out of the loop," so to speak.
If you would like to connect with other family members, please email us and let us know. FOS11 is developing a chat group program that will connect you and your families with others in a similar situation. For example, if you are a sibling in Florida seeking communication with other siblings in the southern US, we will organize a chat discussion among all interested participants. Let us know if you would like to join an online discussion. Email us at http://email@example.com and write "Chat Group" in the subject line. We will follow up with you.
I live in Omaha and have organized a support group in my area with the help of the National Red Cross (the local Red Cross was not very helpful). My contact person is Jennifer Raiten, and she can be reached at 646-773-8340 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I regularly recieve your news and support group updates. I witnessed at close range the attack on the Pentagon. Though I am processing well in my healing, I still have nightmares, grief issues and trouble finding people to talk to who understand what I'm going through. Is there a support group in the Virginia area for survivors like myself? I have attended both "Walk to Remember" events, which has been a big help in my healing, but connecting once a year with others like myself has not been enough.
New Jersey
A group of families meets regularly near Paterson, NJ. While the group is not sponsored by a non-profit organization, you may be eligible for insurance reimbursement out of network for its modest cost. The facilitator's credentials are extensive, both from work prior to 9/11 and since, and include work with families of civilian victims and injured, emergency personnel, and their families. Call 973-778-8485 for more information about these services.
Since October 2001 we have had a support group here in central NJ. Our group currently meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, at the West Windsor Plainsboro South HS from 7:30-9:30PM. We do not meet when school is not in session, during holidays. We welcome anyone affected by 9/11.
New YorkLong Island
I lost my sister on 9/11. I would like to speak with others that live on Long Island that may be looking to speak with someone. (Please review the resources listed for Long Island below in this email.)
My parents are involved counseling through the South Nassau Community Hospital support group. There is a center that is available 7 days a week for people (on Sunrise Highway). Children are invited as well as parents. My parents attend counseling there 3 days a week and they are very happy going there. Unfortunately the funding is running out and the site may not be available to them for much longer. I was attending counseling through FECS. I was very happy there. I attended many support groups then went on to individual counseling held in their West Babylon office.
There are currently openings in a weekly 9/11 parent support group which meets in Fort Tilden National Gateway Park, Breezy Point, Rockaways. It has been in existence for the past two years. These are parents who lost adult children on 9/11. Please contact Greg MacColl, CSW, at 718-805-1660 for more information.
SyracuseI lost my brother and his son aboard UA 175. Do you know of any support groups or services around Syracuse?
I have written before - I am looking for a support group or anything in my area of New York - Buffalo - I lost my brother on 9/11, he was a fireman and my family and I have been dealing with this alone. I think my daughter, who was very close to her uncle, and I, need additional support. I do not know of anything here - even something with the fire department would work. We need to talk. The time is right. Thank you. (Another family member wrote: My extended family lives in Buffalo. They have a support group that meets monthly in Buffalo. My sister can help you with this, her name is Leigh. You can reach her by contacting FOS11 at 212-575-1878. They will connect you to her group. There are people from Jamestown who come to this group as well.)
Chicago has a wonderful organization - Willowhouse. In Wisconsin, however, there are very few people to talk with. We share in the isolation from the important events and meetings that are happening in New York. I am interested in FOS11 chats, and connecting with others, like the Montana family. Thank you.
GENERAL FAMILY SUPPORTThere is an email group at http://www.griefnet.org for anyone who has experienced loss. "I have been a member of a group for over a year now and it has been wonderful. I belong to an e-mail group for parents who have lost adult children. There are groups for spouses, siblings, friends, etc. I send and receive e-mail every day from parents who have lost their adult children. I am the only 9/11 mom in the group right now, but I highly recommend it for anyone who has lost a loved one. There is nothing like sharing feelings safely with people who know how it is.
Bill Doyle - Resource Contact - (718) 948-2538http://www.joeydoyle.com
I am a 9/11 widow and mother of three. I have written a book called What Children Need When They Grieve: The Four Essentials: Routine, Love, Honesty and Security. The book will be released in April 2004. In addition to my book, I have created a website at http://www.juliawilcoxathkey.com. The website not only explains a little bit about the book, but also has links to some great mental health resources and online grief websites that have online support groups. One grief website is designed specifically for children by children. I would encourage people looking for support to take a look at the resources listed as they may be of some assistance.

CALIFORNIAFor California resources please call Anita Ahuja at (916) 445-8452. There will be a statewide support group for 9/11 family members, victims and survivors on Saturday, December 6th in Los Angeles. Therapists from the UCSF Trauma Recovery Center will facilitate the event. For more information please call Anita Ahuja at (916) 445-8452.
"The only support group available in the San Francisco Bay Area is the one you already have and that is through the Victim's Compensation Board (Anita Ahuja is the contact person). Other than that, there are no formal groups, nor have there ever been, for the families out here except for the one listed above run by the State of California. Those monthly support group meetings will be ending at the end of the year, with a couple of follow ups scheduled for next year. The families in California are virtually invisible; if you speak about 9/11, people turn away; they don't want to hear it anymore. That's just the way it is; too far removed from it, except of course, for those who were personally affected by it; we're still here!! "
MASSACHUSETTSFor Massachusetts resources, please visit http://www.massfund.org.
MICHIGAN"We have a Michigan Families of 9/11 Support Group that meets monthly at Ward Presbyterian Church located at 40000 Six Mile Road, Northville, Michigan. Our group is facilitated by Cathy Clough of New Hope Center for Grief Support, also of Northville, Michigan. We have been meeting since June 2002, and it has been a tremendous help in learning to deal with the loss of our loved ones. Also, it has been very comforting meeting other 9/11 families. I have found the meetings to be very beneficial on the path to healing." Cathy Clough can be reached by phone at 248-348-0115 or by email at http://firstname.lastname@example.com.

Final Doubles Bracket (pdf)
West Point, N.Y. - After winning four matches over the weekend to reach Monday's semifinals, Penn's doubles team of Sol Eskenazi and Sonya Latycheva continued their amazing play by downing a pair of Ivy League opponents in the semifinals and finals to claim the Women's ITA Northeast Regional doubles championship. Running their record to a perfect 8-0 in matches they've played together this fall, the duo has now earned the right to compete in next month's USTA/ITA National Collegiate Indoor Championships, held at the National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. from Nov. 8-11.
Entering the tournament as the No. 3 seed, Eskenazi and Latycheva quickly dispatched their opponents in the first two rounds but met more resistance as the bracket played out. In the Round of 16 they met an unseeded team from Columbia, but one that featured singles No. 1 seed Nicole Bartnik. After an 8-6 win in that match, they were off to the quarterfinals where they again claimed an 8-6 win, this one coming over No. 8 seed Elizabeth Epstein and Hanna Yu of Yale.
While the team was advancing in doubles, Eskenazi was also busy in the singles tournament, winning a pair of three-set matches to advance to the Round of 16 where she finally succumbed to Yale's Epstein in another three-set ordeal.
With the singles competition out of the way, the two Quakers made quick work of the No. 1 seed in the tournament, Princeton's Lindsay Graff and Amanda Muliawan, by a score of 8-2 in Monday's semifinals. That victory advanced Penn into today's finals where they fought off a challenge from the No. 2 seeded team, Bianca Sanon and Tiana Takenaga of Columbia, to win the championship by a score of 8-6.
Eskenazi and Latycheva now move to the Indoor Championships where they will be one of only 20 doubles pairs from across the country that have earned the right to compete. A draw for that event will be released in the coming weeks.
Their complete path to the ITA Regional championship is below:
Eskenazi/Latycheva def. Altan Sarnai/Lagvilava (Stony Brook), 8-1
Eskenazi/Latycheva def. Graff/Melibeu (NJIT), 8-3
Eskenazi/Latycheva def. Bartnik/Leung (Columbia), 8-6
Eskenazi/Latycheva def. Epstein/Yu (Yale), 8-6
Eskenazi/Latycheva def. Graff/Mulliawan (Princeton), 8-2
Eskenazi/Latycheva def. Sanon/Takenaga (Columbia), 8-6

Lindy Ruff is breathing a little easier these days. His players gave him a Christmas present that may have saved his job, for the rest of 2003 anyway. After losing seven straight games, which included four straight at home, the Buffalo Sabres tied Ottawa Tuesday and then beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 Friday night.
The Sabres Report - December 27, 2003
