For a more complete beginning introduction to vital records, see U.S. Vital Records Class Handout.
|How to Find Information about United States Ancestors
1. Birth Information
The practice of recording vital statistics developed slowly in the United States. Early birth, marriage and death information was sometimes recorded in brief entries in register books until the twentieth century, when it became more common to create certificates. Some town clerks in colonial America (especially New England) recorded vital information, but these records are incomplete. The federal government has not registered vital records, except for Americans born outside the country who were recorded in embassy or consulate records.
Records of marriages were generally the first vital records kept in a locality. In most states, the counties or towns began recording marriages as soon as they were established. Whether the marriage ceremony was performed by a civil or a church authority, local laws required the marriage to be recorded in civil records.
The local health departments of a few large cities began recording births and deaths by the mid-1800s. For example, records exist for Baltimore (from 1875), Boston (from 1639), New Orleans (from 1790), New York (from 1847), and Philadelphia (from 1860). The early records are usually incomplete. Many counties in the East and Midwest were recording births and deaths by the late 1800's.
Each state eventually developed its own laws and created a statewide registration system. Unfortunately, these records do not exist until the early 1900's in most states. Local offices did not always comply immediately with the registration laws. Within 20 years after registration laws were enacted, most states were recording at least 90 percent of the births and deaths. To learn more about the creation of civil records and the regional differences go to the United States Civil Records page.

Search strategies
Why might it be better to look for the death record of an ancestor first?
- Your ancestor's death is more recent than his birth or marriage. It is usually best to work from recent events backward, from the known to the unknown.
- The death record usually tells you where your ancestor last lived. Then you can look for other records for that place.
- The death record may lead you to other documents created in connection with the death, such as the burial and probate of your ancestor. Those records may give new family information.
- Death records may contain birth, marriage, and burial information as well as death information.
- Death records exist for many persons born before birth and marriage records began. Death records may contain birth and marriage information not available anywhere else.
Analyze the record
Ask yourself these questions to use the record effectively:
- What dates does this record provide?
- What ages are given?
- What places are mentioned in this record?
- Are parents or a spouse named?
- Are witnesses to the event related to the family?
- Who provided the information? Was that person someone who knew the family well?
- Does the death record give the name of the cemetery or funeral home? You may be able to search those records for more information.
- Does the information from the record fit with what you know about the family from other records? If it does not agree, it may have been miscopied by a clerk. Check your sources.
Why can't I find a vital record?
Some possible reasons are:
- Your ancestor might have lived in a different place from where you were looking for the birth, marriage, or death.
- Your ancestor may have used a nickname or a different surname, or the registrar spelled the name wrong. See Name Variations in United States Indexes and Records.
- Your ancestor might have lived at a slightly different time from the years you were looking.
- Not every birth, marriage, or death was registered.
You can check:
- The information you have for possible errors.
- If your ancestor might have lived in a different place.
- If your ancestor might have lived at a slightly different time.
- If your ancestor's name might be recorded under:
- A different spelling.
- A nickname.
- An Americanization of a foreign surname.
Sometimes vital records were not recorded for various reasons, even when required.

Family History Library Records
The Family History Library has copies of many state vital records. You may find further information about vital records and their availability in the wiki pages available for each state. Click on the state links in the table above for direct access individual state wiki pages concerning vital records.
Even when vital records can be found in government offices, not all of these records are included in the Family History Library collection. There are several factors which affect the availability of vital records. Records may be missing from the Family History Library collection if
- a record was never kept
- was not available in the courthouse at the time of microfilming
- was not microfilmed
- is restricted from public access by the laws of the state
You may use the records at the library for your family research, but the library does not issue or certify certificates for living or deceased individuals.
Vital records can be found in the Place Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under each of the following approaches:
In addition, some of the vital records available at the Family History Library are now indexed and digitized at Historical Record Collections. Browse the available collections for birth, marriage and death records of any given state. Most vital records are indexed and should be searched through the index. Some collections are not indexed and are available only as digitized record groups to browse. See each individual state's vital records wiki page for hints concerning RecordSearch collections pertaining to that state.
The Family History Library has statewide collections and special indexes of vital records for most states. The library has good collections of county vital records for several states.

Sunday night's game in New England will begin on an appropriately somber note, with recognition of the 26 people who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday.
The Patriots will be wearing black-ribbon logos on their helmets, and they will light 26 white flares during a moment of silence before Sunday night's game against the 49ers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft owns a company that has a factory less than a mile from Sandy Hook Elementary School, and the parking lot there was used as a meeting place for reporters covering the events on Friday.
The Jets and Giants have both announced plans to wear helmet decals reading S.H.E.S., for Sandy Hook Elementary School, this week. All NFL games will include a moment of silence before the national anthem.

544 Employees with LEED, BREEAM, Green Star, IEMA and NABERs Energy accreditation lead the industry with 28 LEED certified buildings under management globally, more than any other firm
SINGAPORE, 6 August 2009 – Underscoring its leadership position in environmental sustainability services, Jones Lang LaSalle announced today that it has not simply met but surpassed its 2009 goal of employing 500 sustainability accredited professionals worldwide – six months ahead of its stated goal. No other real estate firm has close to as many accredited individuals, or has completed as many certification projects.
At the start of July 2009, the firm documented that 544 employees in 14 countries worldwide had attained the status of LEED® Accredited Professional (AP) or equivalent designation, signifying advanced knowledge and expertise in green building practices.
As part of the Global Sustainability Commitment, Jones Lang LaSalle in April 2008 pledged to increase its sustainability-accredited professionals—including LEED, BREEAM, IEMA, NABERS Energy, Green Star and Casbee—to 200 in 2008 and to 500 in 2009. The firm ended 2008 with 333 sustainability accredited professionals and added another 200-plus APs to its ranks in the first six months of 2009.
"This was an ambitious goal, but we have a firm-wide determination to be the sustainability leader in the real estate industry and are very proud of all of our employees who have put the time and effort into earning this prestigious accreditation," says Lauralee Martin, LEED AP, Global Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. "The future of commercial real estate is in sustainable buildings, and LEED accreditation reinforces our commitment to being the energy and sustainability leader in the real estate sector."
In Asia Pacific, the number of sustainability APs grew to more than 35, an increase of about 70% during the first six months of 2009.
The firm's Energy & Sustainability Services team in the region has been involved in more than 43 sustainability-related assignments in the past three years, including seven LEED projects and six Green Star-rated buildings. In addition, the team has extensive experience with performance-based rating systems, having been involved in more than 30 NABERS Energy assignments in Australia for both building owners and tenants during this period.
Anita Mitchell, Head of Energy and Sustainability Services, Australasia and Strategy, Asia Pacific says, "Sustainable buildings make good business sense in addition to being environmentally responsible. As the awareness and importance of green buildings intensifies, we will continue to see further demands being made on the real estate industry. We see the investment in ongoing training and certification of our staff to be one of the more significant differentiators for us in the market. We believe we provide best in class service and part of this is to have sustainability thinking integrated into our service offering. Our firm will continue to grow its base of APs and equip staff with the latest knowledge of innovative approaches to sustainability to better service our clients"
Firmwide AccreditationJones Lang LaSalle has sustainability APs across the world, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Poland, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, the UK and the U.S.
In keeping with its integrated approach to service delivery and firmwide commitment to sustainability, the company employs APs in a wide range of business units, including: project and development services property and facility management; construction; energy and sustainability services; retail property management; tenant representation; investment management; agency leasing, strategic consulting; and public institutions, as well as infrastructure groups such as finance and marketing.
Properties certified with Jones Lang LaSalle's assistance include office buildings, R&D buildings, multi-family, educational institutions, corporate headquarters, bank branches and commercial interiors
The firm's experience in applying sustainability rating tools in both design and operation for new developments, existing buildings and office interiors ensures that its professional staff can assist owners and occupiers in all phases of building development and operations.
Experience with certified buildings in Asia Pacific and across the worldGlobally, Jones Lang LaSalle has assisted clients in managing and gaining certification on 28 LEED properties to date, more than any other real estate services firm. In addition, the firm has played a major role in sustainability-certified projects across Asia Pacific and the world, including:
In April, the firm announced it would spearhead an initiative to gain LEED Gold certification at the Empire State Building in New York.

A home in Bristol, Connecticut, owned by the uncle of Aaron Hernandez has been searched as the investigation continues into the death of Odin Lloyd, whom Hernandez is accused of murdering.
WFSB-TV reports that investigators from both Connecticut and Massachusetts searched the home owned by Hernandez's uncle, Andres Valderrama.
Investigators spent about two hours going through the home and garage before leaving. A statement from local authorities confirmed they are assisting in the investigation into the death of Lloyd, but offered no other details.
"Both the Bristol Police Department and the New Britain State's Attorney's Office will continue to provide whatever assistance we can in connection with this investigation. As the investigation is ongoing, we can have no further comment at this time," the statement said.
Hernandez, who was born and raised in Bristol, Connecticut, is currently being held at the Bristol County Jail in Massachusetts.

New York CITY!!!
Okay, so Beth looks a little confused, but I think it's the result of the amazing feast before us: Chicken and waffles and sweet potato pancakes, along with grits (cropped out of the photo, sorry) and bloody marys at Melba's in Harlem. Melba herself let us in and greeted everyone. I was kind of starstruck and made my usual ridiculous blissed out face (remember the Norah Gaughan picture with me? Wow).
During our miles and miles of walking, we encountered the Hydroponic Coral Reef in the Broadway Windows at 10th and Broadway, which is, interestingly, an NYU dorm building where I lived my freshman year and ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT. I am not one for dorm living... I moved out to an apartment in Sunnyside, Queens for the rest of my years in NYC.
And yes, there was some knitting... I got quite a bit of sock done while waiting for a salad at a small cafe in Soho. Oh! Oh! And I'm wearing the Tempest sweater that I've been wearing for months but haven't been able to post photos of! See how nice it looks in the wild? Anyway, for this lunch experience the three Weavers ordered three salads, which took 45 minutes to come from the kitchen, despite the fact that there were only two other customers in the joint. Oh, and one of the salads was not the salad we ordered. But they were so delicious that it was okay, just sort of sad, performance-wise, for the cafe.
Yes, there is some new yarn. Yes, I have been knitting other stuff around here, and some will be revealed soon. Meantime, I'm TIRED! I'll likely be at New Hampshire Sheep and Wool this coming Sunday, so shoot me an email if you'll be there!
And the next weekend Chris and I will be in Brimfield, MA for THE SHOW. It's our first time. I mean, wow. Wow.

I work so close to the coral reef right now, but I haven't made myself walk over there to see it yet. Maybe that's what I'll do tomorrow! Great to see Tempest in the wild - I am really excited to knit it. Congrats on another great Knitty pattern, btw.

Is that scarf you're wearing from H&M? Because I'm pretty sure I have that exact same scarf.

Have fun at Brimfield! It's pretty cool and can be a bit overwhelming - but definitely worth the trek. When you get off the pike in Sturbridge there's a yarn store about a mile down on the right. It's pretty new but has a nice selection. Also - after that (on the left) there's the Wrights factory store and that has an assortment of craft stuff too.

Rats, I was at NHSW on Saturday, so I missed you. NYC looks like a good time. I saw the article in the NYT about the coral reef and would have been interested in seeing it in person, it's nice that you came across it. The cardi, the salad, the socks, they all look yummy.

AUGUSTA — City councilors unanimously approved a ban on sex offenders living within 750 feet of schools and municipal property such as parks where children are the primary users Thursday.
After a mother urged them to take action to protect the city's children, councilors waived the normally required second reading of the ordinance and took a final vote on the proposal, meaning the new rules take effect in 30 days.
The ordinance will prohibit registered sex offenders who have committed sexual crimes against children under age 14 from living within 750 feet of public and private schools or any municipal property where children are the primary users.
Toni Richardson, mother of a fourth-grade girl and a sixth-grade boy at Gilbert Elementary School, urged councilors to pass the ordinance to help protect the city's children from sexual predators. She said she's afraid to let her children walk from her Northern Avenue home to their elementary school because of the number of sex offenders along the way.
She said she was sexually abused as a child, cited statistics indicating that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys would be sexually abused, and warned that sexual abuse of a child can affect the victim for life.
"You have before you an opportunity to protect the children of Augusta," said Richardson, who showed councilors a map with numerous red dots, indicating where sex offenders live, near Gilbert Elementary School.
"Several of my kids' friends walk to school. But I'm in a situation — look at the red dots — where I would never let my children walk to school. Because of those red dots, it is a very scary situation," she said.
The rules will not be retroactive. Sex offenders already living in Augusta, even if they are within 750 feet of a school or park, will not have to move.
City Manager William Bridgeo said 134 registered sex offenders live in Augusta, giving the city the highest percentage of sex offenders of any municipality in Maine.
A 2009 state law allows municipalities to restrict where certain sex offenders live. Municipalities cannot ban sex offenders from living within their borders, just set limits. The proposed ordinance in Augusta essentially would enact the strictest limits on sex offender residency allowed by the state law, according to Mayor William Stokes, who is also a Maine deputy attorney general and chief of the state's criminal division.
The ordinance does not prohibit sex offenders from visiting parks or schools, just from living near them.
Stephen Langsdorf, city attorney, said forbidding sex offenders to live near public spots frequented by children will reduce the likelihood of a sex offender having children walking by or hanging out near his or her residence frequently, thus limiting his or her impulses to commit an act against a child.
The ordinance directs the city's planning office to prepare and maintain an official map of the city, showing prohibited locations for restricted sex offenders. Resident sex offenders who violate the ordinance, after 30 days' written notice from the city, could be fined up to $500 a day until they move.
Property owners who rent a residence within the prohibited areas to a restricted sex offender also could face sanctions under the ordinance.
City Councilor Mark O'Brien expressed concern that that provision might exceed what state law allows. Langsdorf said he doesn't think the city's ordinance goes beyond the law.

You won't get more for your money in these 10 states.
With the launch of CNBC's fourth annual edition of "America's Top States For Business," we decided to take a look at the cost of a variety of items in the nation's ten most expensive states. In the CNBC study, states are ranked using a 25-point scale—the lower the score, the higher the cost of living, and vice versa.
Interestingly enough, some of these states also had some of the highest scores in the quality-of-life category, so maybe you do get what you pay for. That said, only one of the ten states in the slides ahead managed to rank among the top 10 overall in the CNBC study. Cost of living may not be among the top criteria for a business, but it can be a big consideration for workers.
To cover as much ground as possible, we included one item each related to housing, transportation, health, food and entertainment. Here's the average cost of a single-family home, the best-selling cholesterol drug Lipitor, a movie theatre-ticket, a dozen eggs and a gallon of gasoline in the largest metropolitan areas of each of the ten states using data from the ACCRA Cost of Living Index. (Though there is a high correlation with this basket of goods and the study's cost-of-living rankings, the items and prices listed are not the same as those used in the index.)
Take a look and see which states have the highest cost of living.

Local Firms Can Ignore Online Reviews at Their Peril
Jun 28, 2013 5:00 AM PT
It's no secret that online reviews play a key role in consumers' purchase decisions, but that's increasingly true for local brands as well, according to a report published Tuesday by BrightLocal.
More and more, consumers are using the Internet to find local businesses, according to the company's Local Consumer Review Survey 2013. In fact, only 5 percent of the consumers responding had not used the Internet to find a local business in the last 12 months, it found, down from 15 percent in 2012.
A full 37 percent of consumers use the Internet to find a local business at least once a month, meanwhile, compared with just 34 percent in 2012.
'Why Would You Not?'
"More consumers are consulting reviews as a logical step in their pre-purchase research of local business services," BrightLocal explained. "The increasing supply of reviews on all types of business make is easy for us (as consumers) to validate our selection of a local business before we contact them and to learn from the experiences of other consumers.
"It begs the question: why would you NOT check out a business's reviews before choosing to use them?" the company added.
The survey is a comprehensive look at how consumers of local services use and rely on online reviews and how -- or whether -- their behavior is influenced by what they have read. Conducted over six weeks in January and February, it received 2,100 responses.
A New Part of the Buying Process
The shift from "never using the Internet" to even occasionally tapping it to find a local business is bigger than most people might realize, BrightLocal noted.
"These consumers are getting a taste of how easy and helpful it is to find local businesses online, and we can expect them to become more regular users as long as they find the experience a positive one," the report pointed out.
Another significant finding -- and perhaps the crux of the survey from retailers' perspective -- is the number of people who read online customer reviews to determine whether a local business is one that they would want to patronize.
A full 85 percent of consumers said that they read online reviews for local businesses, up from 76 percent in 2012.
In many ways, reading reviews have become part of the buying process, BrighLocal suggests.
"By the time a consumer has started reading reviews, they have identified an issue/need they have, worked out what service or product satisfies this need and now want to select a business to use," the company explained.
Because the path from reading online reviews to purchasing from a business is a short one, it's crucial for local businesses to have a positive online reputation, the survey noted.
A Legal Matter
Such advice is only common sense, David Johnson, principal of Strategic Vision, told CRM Buyer.
"Online reviews are definitely now part of the buying process for many products, especially electronics and definitely restaurants," Johnson agreed. For some consumers, he added, they have morphed into "look at what I bought" or "look at where I ate" testimonials, to the great delight of merchants.
Indeed, online reviews are seen as so important to some merchants that often they will go to great lengths to have a negative review taken down or at least altered.
For instance, he noted, "there have been many laws suits about Yelp reviews for that reason."

Howie Long is taking Sunday off from work for the first time in 20 years.
And he will be miserable, even if he doesn't know it yet.
Howie Long won't be on the "NFL on Fox'' set, likely a welcome break from Terry Bradshaw's hog calling. Howie Long will be in St. Louis to watch his sons Kyle of the Bears and Chris of the Rams face each other in the Edward Jones Dome.
And he will feel miserable. Book it.
Sure, Howie Long the NFL Hall-of-Famer will feel the pride of having two sons face each other in an NFL game -- two sons each drafted in the first round, no less, higher than dad was selected.
And then the game will start and Howie Long the parent will be miserable. Guaranteed.
He will be watching one of his precious children lose an emotionally draining and physically excruciating game that wasn't just televised but also gained a higher profile because, duh, two of Howie Long's kids were facing each other.
If Howie Long's kids get out of the game healthy, then Dad wins. That's the only way. The rest will be twisted emotion, and that goes during the game and after.
I listened to Howie Long offer thoughtful answers on the subject in a compelling interview on the "Boers & Bernstein Show'' on WSCR-AM 670 on Thursday, and while Dad didn't say his game plan called for seeking out the son whose team loses, I think that's the way to bet.
Howie Long said he ascribes to a belief that co-host Dan Bernstein repeated: You're only as happy as your saddest child.
If you're not a parent, you think it's a depressing line.
If you're a parent, you've been nodding all along.
As I recall when Peyton and Eli Manning first played each other, Archie and Olivia left their seats after the final gun and looked to first console the child that lost.
When Jim and John Harbaugh first faced each other as coaches in Baltimore on Thanksgiving in 2011, Mom and Dad couldn't bear to sit in the stands. Instead, Jack and Jackie chose to hole up in an office in the stadium to watch the game on TV.
Think about that: Papa Harbaugh is a former football coach --- John Elway played for him at Stanford -- so you would think having two sons stand on NFL sidelines would bring the greatest satisfaction.
And Dad couldn't sit in the stands.
Something else that wise people say to those of you who aren't parents or have very young children: little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems.
And National Football League kids, national TV problems.
Tough racket, parenting. By the time you figure out what a trap it is, you realize you forgot to save the receipt so you can't even take the kid back.
That's why I believe the best adage is this: Friends don't let friends have children.

Stories of despair in the Tunnel of Hope
The Tunnel Museum of Sarajevo is all about hope.
Remembering "Sniper Alley" in a peaceful town
Strolling down from the hills of Sarajevo, I make my way to the charming, hillside suburb of Bistrik, along the banks of the Miljacka River and past a group of young Sarajevans playing giant chess in a leafy park.
The haunted hills of Sarajevo
I jump in a taxi and head for the hills surrounding the Bosnian capital Sarajevo.
East meets west in Sarajevo's old town
As my local friend Samra and I delve into the old town of Sarajevo, I notice that some buildings here still have bullet holes in their walls, while pavements bear chilling scars from mortar blasts.
The place where history changed for everyone
Sarajevo has become famous for more recent conflict, but its most significant place in history is as where Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in 1914.

I went through the catalog for the classes offered at the Northern California Family History Expo and have made my initial choices. These choices usually change, but I thought I'd share where I plan to be (for any psychotic stalkers, I will not *really* be in those rooms at those times; posting THAT on the internet would be so stupid and I'd never be that dumb…).
What's New in RootsMagic-
At the Jamboree last month, I bought a copy of RootsMagic. I hear such good things about it and really wanted another program to put GOOD CLEAN data on (as opposed to my BAD DIRTY Family Tree Maker data). I like Family Tree Maker, as it's all I've ever known, but I noticed that a lot of other people use more than one program. That said, I still haven't installed or used my copy. A class may be just the thing I need to get excited enough about it to remember to put the disk in.
I LOVE Libraries-
I want to take this class as I really do LOVE LIBRARIES. I want to learn more about what I can find there and what to ask for.
What's in Your Family History Toolbox -
I really enjoy Paul Larsen's book, Crash Course in Family History, and I know this is a new item he has for sale. I forgot to go back for it at Jamboree and so I'll take this class and pick it up at this Expo.
Beyond Names and Dates: Building Your Ancestor's Profile-
I'm taking this class purely for the presenter, Angela Kraft. She is a friend of MyHeritageHappens and I met her at Jamboree. She's speaking at our local genealogical society meeting next month and so I want to hear it first! Also, the topic of finding more than names and dates is close to my heart.
Genealogy on the Go-
Since I'm mostly doing my Genealogy on the Go, I thought this seemed like an apt class for me. I rarely have time at home in front of my computer so learning other ways to keep what I need with me will be fantastic.
Genealogy Education on the Internet: The National Institute for Genealogical Studies-
Education is always a passion and I'd like to learn more about classes that are available. Since Jamboree and the Expo are only annual events, it would be great to find more to fill in during the rest of the year!
DIY Family History Book Design-
Biff and Nancy Barnes are two of my very favorite speakers. I really have already designed my book and am writing it in that format, but I can't go to a place where they speak and NOT catch a class of theirs. Perhaps they can give me inspiration for my NEXT book…
Irish Research Online and Offline-
We just recently found some details on our Irish line, so this will be my first experience with Irish research. All I knew from before is that YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE COUNTY, so I had ignored everything after that. Now I have the county… so I need to go back and un-ignore what I heard before.

Here are a couple of things that might interest you:
I just came upon this recently.
G. Hugh Bodell launched a website dedicated to bringing his characters alive. The basic idea is that you put your character into a difficult situation, then ask your readers to help you solve that problem.
But I thought it would be a very interesting writing exercise to try the following. How about taking your character out of context and seeing what they do? This works very well for historical fiction, because all you have to do is change time period.
So what would your Roman centurion do in another time period?
The reason why I think this is a valuable exercise is because it will help you to get to know your character better. Why not try it and let me know what you think?
To read G. Hugh Bodell's blog, go to: http://whatwouldsoroshdo.blogspot.com/
For those of you who want to know more about marketing your novel and don't mind paying $21 for it, here is the link to Joanna Penn's "21 ways to sell more books online."
Have a great week!

"Sure to Fall (in Love with You)" is a 1956 song written by Carl Perkins, Bill Cantrell, and Quinton Claunch. It was recorded by Carl Perkins in December 1955 and was planned for release as the follow-up to "Blue Suede Shoes". Carl and Jay Perkins were on vocals. The song was not issued, however, as a single on the Sun Records label at that time. A test pressing was made. Sam Phillips circulated dubs or acetates to local radio stations of the proposed single. The Sun catalogue number was 235 backed with Perkins' song "Tennessee" on the b-side. The Sun master numbers assigned to the two sides were U 177 and U 178. Liner notes for the Rhino Records release of Carl Perkins' Original Sun Greatest Hits, however, listed the single as being issued at the time as 235DJ, available to disc jockeys only. The songs were released, however, on the 1957 Sun LP Dance Album of Carl Perkins, 1225, re-released as Teen Beat; The Best of Carl Perkins in 1961. This album was also released in the UK on London as HA-S 2202 and is where The Beatles heard the songs. The song also appeared on Sun EP 115 released in 1961. Sun Records under Shelby Singleton did release a "Sure To Fall"/"Tennessee" single, Sun Golden Treasure Series, Sun 5, but it was in the late 1970s when the Carl Perkins 45s were re-released. The song also appeared on Sun EP 115 released in 1961. Carl Perkins recorded the song in 1970 in collaboration with the band NRBQ on the eponymous album released on Columbia Records, CS 9981.

Toyota Motor Corp refuses to be tempted away from its low-risk growth strategy, even as the world's bestselling carmaker met its mid-term profit goals in the year ended March, and foresees even higher earnings this fiscal year.
The company has exceeded the target President Akio Toyoda set two years ago: to make 1 trillion yen in annual operating profit, and do so with a 5 percent margin. Its manufacturing arm in Japan also made a profit for the first time in five years, a symbolic triumph for a titan of Japanese industry.
Continue Reading Below
This year, the company will concentrate on sharpening productivity in order to become more competitive, Toyoda said.
Mindful of lessons learned from huge losses run up in 2008 after a period of boom and rapid expansion, it sees high profits as no reason to launch into a building programme - even as some rivals do exactly that.
"The wind that was blowing against us is calming down, and we can hear some saying that it is the time for us to take the offensive. But I think we are just standing at the startline of sustainable growth", the 57-year-old grandson of the founder of Toyota's automotive business told reporters on Wednesday.
Toyota expects to make operating profit of 1.8 trillion yen ($18.17 billion) in the fiscal year that ends March 2014, which would be below its peak of 2.3 trillion yen in the year ended March 2008
Powering that will be another year of record group sales in calendar year 2013, the company believes, reaching 9.91 million vehicles. It could become the first carmaker in history to sell more than 10 million vehicles in a year.
Since Toyoda took helm in 2009, when profit margins were thin, the automaker has focused on cutting costs and improving profitability.
Evidence of Toyoda's caution is his fresh policy to build no new factories for the next three years, a sharp contrast with Honda Motor Co which is rapidly adding to its production power around the world.
"Expansion of volume does not equate to growth. The driving force of sustainable growth comes down to making ever better cars," Toyoda said.
Toyota posted on Wednesday an annual operating profit of 1.32 trillion yen with an operating margin of around 6 percent, beating a market that had expected 1.26 trillion yen profit, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine's SmartEstimates. SmartEstimates place emphasis on timely forecasts by top-rated analysts.
It said it expects to sell 2.2 million vehicles in the United States in 2013, up from about 2.1 million in 2012. The company is expected to release the Corolla compact car in the United States this year.
"While the fierce competitive landscape (in the U.S.) will likely mean that Toyota may see growth taper off in the short term, new product launches later this year should help to give sales a boost," said Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book.
In Japan, where automotive-related jobs account for 8.7 percent of the workforce, according to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, it is becoming more profitable to make and export goods as a result of a yen that has weakened by around 15 percent against the dollar since January.
Toyoda repeated his vow to continue making 3 million vehicles a year in Japan. The company exports 60 percent of its Japan-made vehicles.
Despite building no new plants Toyota, which currently has an annual production capacity of around 9 million vehicles, will still be able to make more cars.
It will stick with pre-existing plans to build new factories such as in Thailand and Indonesia and will also add capacity at plants already running, for example at its Kentucky plant in the United States.
After recovering from a damaging safety recall in 2010 and a huge earthquake in 2011 in Japan that disrupted supply chains, Toyota booked record group-wide sales of 9.7 million vehicles in 2012, beating General Motors Co and Volkswagen AG .
Shares in Toyota have risen 37 percent since the beginning of 2013, outperforming the Nikkei index that has rose about 34 percent in the same period.
Toyota released its results after the close of trade on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd, which makes Subaru cars, booked record annual operating profit of 120 billion yen for the year ended in March, more than double last year's figure. The company also announced a plan to spend $400 million on expanding capacity in the United States, its biggest market.

text: MOD HIJACK: This is now the official Wishlist Thread. Please use it accordingly. Thanks for the HIJACK. Instead of discussing crazy apps that would be cool, I think there is still a lot of basic feature improvement that can be done to Android (which might include integrating some current apps in the OS). Thought it would be good to have this in one convenient thread for the google developers to be able to take note. Here's a list to get the ball rolling (not in any particular order of importance) 1. Better Caller ID (This might be T-Mobile's fault, but all the numbers that I used to get ID'd, show up as "unknown"). 2. Bluetooth Voice recognition? I couldn't get it to work with my motorola set. 3. Virtual Keyboard - I like the Vista Tablet model, but in this case, you would use your thumb to slide the keyboard out when you need it, kind of like you slide out the Main Menu. Although if that got in the way, maybe you could access it through the menu button. 4. I want the option to auto-mount the sd card when connected via USB put back in menu as a check box. 5. Also, the option to choose the time-interval between data auto-syncs. 6. Better battery management functions, profiles, and quicker access to screen brightness, and the other functions that Toggle provides. 7. Make the alarm clock more like Klaxon (minus all the crashing). Big snooze button, back button = dismiss, ability to select any audio in system or sd card, ability to change snooze length (in 1 minutes intervals). 8. Option to remove unnecessary apps, like Amazon MP3. 9. Ability to setup multiple gmail accounts (with one set to master account) 10. Improve email app, allow for multiple message delete, empty trash, search mail 11. Add in-browser Flash support 12. Add OpenOffice-like app to not only read, but create new docs and save to sd card. 13. Add PDF support. 14. Add a file manager. I like Bender, but I think with the support of Google devs, we can make an even better one that integrates a little more seemlessly. 15. Google Earth!!!!!!! I was shocked to see my brother pull up Earth on his ITOUCH!!!! and ashamed that my Google, yeah that's right GOOGLE, phone could not do the same 16. Speaking of iPhones, the two-fingered zoom in/out is just awesome. Not sure if that is software or hardware, but it's just a huge difference is usability. And you won't hear me praise many things about the iPhone. 17. VPN functionality. 18. Fix Auto-connect WiFi. I almost always have to go in and manually connect, says connection problem, but then connects manually just fine. [edit: thought of some more...] 19. I have a lot of Google Map connectivity issues, while being able to use other network apps fine, could be google server issue. Don't think it is T-Mobile (I'm in LA) 20. Sync contacts with popular desktop apps, such as Evolution, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc... 21. I am not big on IM, but I've heard a lot of frustration in this area, maybe someone else can give input here. 22. I'm going to steal from another thread, even though this is hardware related. I think we need a VGA video camera in the front for video-conferencing. Can you please release this OTA? 23. Tethering phone to laptop. 24. What do you call it when the screen senses the orientation of the phone, well I want that. 25. How could I forget? ability to copy and paste text from non-text edit modes. Maybe special text selection mode? [/edit] OK, whew, that's all I got. But to finish, I never expected the G1 to be perfect, it's 1st gen, so as Beta testers, hopefully Google/HTC/Tmobile are listening to us to improve not only our phones but the next gen as well. Hey, free consumer feedback right here. We are your customers. Make us happy.

After being laid off by a financial institution during the recent recession, Elisa De Angelis had time to reflect on her aspirations.
After high school, De Angelis spent two years at nursing college but she wasn't sure she wanted to revisit that as a career choice. She decided to take an online test to learn about jobs that might suit her personality. She was overwhelmed by the resulting number of options but she painstakingly went through the list alphabetically. It was when she reached "court reporter" that she stopped searching.
"I thought this is definitely something that I would be good at," says De Angelis. "My training in nursing and background in finance would be useful, and the work would be stable during ebbs and flows in the economy."
Thanks to second career training through the Canadian Centre for Verbatim Studies (CCVS) inToronto, De Angelis is now a qualified court reporter. She records depositions in pre-trial examinations at an astounding 225 words per minute and delivers precise transcripts to lawyers and judges.
De Angelis cautions that court reporting is not for the faint of heart. The job is demanding and time-consuming. On the plus side, every assignment is different. Cases range from organized crime and medical malpractice to divorce, arbitration, murder and everything in between. "I meet new people every day and never know what I am going to hear or see," she says.
There are only three schools inCanadathat train people to transcribe at such speeds using steno machines: the Ecole de stenographie judiciaire duQuebecinMontreal, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) inEdmontonand the CCVS inToronto.
According to Dan Winer, registrar at CCVS, there is a shortage of qualified personnel in court reporting and broadcast captioning, as well as communication access real-time translation (CART) providers that assist the hearing impaired.
"This is a career where a university degree is not necessary, yet the earnings potential is very high – sometimes reaching six figures," he says.
Prior career experience is an asset for anyone considering the field of court reporting. Whether it's in health care, information technology, manufacturing or other areas, it will likely have relevance to one or more cases that come before the courts.
Institutions offering second-career training have to be as adaptable as their students in today's marketplace. Compu Campus College (CCC) in Windsor, for instance, updates its training programs as trends change. "Whether it is 3-D animation, computer networking and security, personal support worker or legal office assistant, we offer training for people looking to upgrade their skills or change careers," says director Ziad Alhihi.
Many of the instructors at CCC also work full-time in the field in which they are teaching, which keeps them alert to subtle shifts in market demand. "They are able to offer their life experiences to our students," adds Alhihi. "Real-life examples are incorporated into the program which helps mature students to learn faster."
Financial assistance for training such as that offered by CCVS and CCC is available through provincial and federal programs.
For laid-off workers inOntario, qualified candidates may access funds through the provincial government's Second Career strategy. The program provides financial assistance of up to $28,000 for education or training upgrades for qualified candidates. In some instances, more funding may be available to pay for living expenses, travel, books, care for dependents, transportation and disability support.
Injured workers may be eligible for assistance through the Workers Safety and Insurance Board labour market re-entry program.
The federal government's Lifelong Learning Plan allows up to $10,000 per calendar year to be withdrawn from an RRSP to finance full time education or training. Withdrawals are penalty free provided they are repaid to the RRSP within 10 years.
For those not eligible to receive funding, both CCVS and CCC, for example, allow students to pay for tuition monthly over the course of the program.
De Angelis is delighted with her new career. "It is very interesting and rewarding, and I love it," she says. And it offers unique opportunities both at home and abroad.
One of her school colleagues travelled to Europe, and another toAsia, on yearlong assignments. As for De Angelis, she has appeared as an extra on television three times – playing, as you likely guessed, a court reporter.

This is a detailed description of reaction's template system.
Reaction's templates are organized into sets called skins. A skin is defined by a directory containing several template files and static assets. Skins live in directories under the
share/skin path in your application distribution. Each directory and the template files within compose their own skin. Templates live in the
layout directory and assets live in the
web directory.
Core Skins
Reaction provides prebuilt skins called
base and
default. These provide the basic html components for a typical web application, such as forms, fields and table list views. Skins are extensible, which means you can include all the templates from another skin within your custom skin through a configuration directive instead of copying template files, making your template setup easy to maintain.
Configuration Directives
share/skin/defaults.conf file holds general application-wide skin configuration. Each skin can be configured individually by placing a
skin.conf file in it's root directory.
extends $skin_name
$skin_nameas the base skin.
Template files are sets of pod-like directives which define a set of layouts. They are used for the sole purpose of describing how the data is to be layed out at render time. Each template file contains a set of layout definitions which are used by reaction widgets to generate the final content. Variables are defined and populated in the widgets then passed to the layout fragments in a given template file.
Template Directives
=for layout $fragment_name
Defines a layout fragment called
$fragment_name, everything under the directive up to the next fragment directive is part of the definition. By default, variables with the same name as an existing layout definition are rendered as the equivalent layout. Widgets might interfere and select an alternate layout or template to be rendered instead. A templates' rendering process always starts by a layout called
=extends $template_name
Makes the current template inherit the layout definitions in
$template_name. Layouts defined in the template override the ones in the base template. The special
NEXTtemplate name specifies that inheritance should use the equivalent template from the base skin as configured in
=widget $widget_name
$widget_nameas the driver for the current template.
A layout definition creates a variable scope attached to that layout. Variables only exist within their specific layout fragments, that is, they are scoped to specific layouts. Overriding a layout places it in the same scope as the base layout.
Using layouts defined in base templates
The special [% call_next %] variable will be replaced by the layout in the base template within the same scope.

Published January 13, 2015
Jason Bay drove in the game-winning run in the 13th inning as the Seattle Mariners snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Texas Rangers.
With two outs and a runner on third, Bay delivered a single to left off Ross Wolf to score Kendrys Morales, who knocked a double off Michael Kirkman (0-1) earlier in the inning.
"It feels great. Not just for me but for everybody. That was a big sigh of relief for a lot of people," Bay said of the win.
Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma pitched eight innings, giving up two runs on five hits while fanning eight. Yoervis Medina (1-0) threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win.
Morales also had a two-run homer, while Raul Ibanez delivered a solo shot in the victory.
Jurickson Profar had a solo home run while Leonys Martin and A.J. Pierzynski drove in one run apiece for the Rangers. Starter Nick Tepesch allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over 5 2/3 innings.
"Any time you lose -- especially when you go to extra innings -- it's difficult but they took it from us," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Texas scored a run in each of the first two innings. Profar led off the game with a home run and Martin hit a sacrifice fly in the second that plated Nelson Cruz.
The Mariners finally scored in the sixth. Kyle Seager knocked a double to begin the frame, setting up Morales' two-run blast two batters later.
In the top of the 11th, Pierzynski smashed a pinch-hit RBI single off Oliver Perez, but Ibanez responded with a solo homer against Joe Nathan in the home half.
The Rangers had a chance to score in the top of the 13th. Elvis Andrus drew a leadoff walk, advanced to second on a grounder by Martin and stole third. Medina then intentionally walked Pierzynski, but was able to strike out Profar and get David Murphy to ground out to squander the opportunity.
Game Notes
Texas' Lance Berkman went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts ... Ibanez has seven home runs and 16 RBI over his last 11 games ... Morales went 3-for-6 and has a hit in 17-of-19 games in May ... Seattle's Tom Wilhelmsen was perfect in two innings of relief. Right-handed hitters are 0-for-33 against him this season ... The Mariners were 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

Paris, KY Dog Park
The Paris Kentucky dog park is a great place for people and their pets to get exercise and have fun while remaining in a safe environment. Having an area that is designated as a Paris KY dog park is important, as certain individuals do not want to be near pets and having an area that is specified as a Paris Kentucky dog park can avoid this problem in many neighborhoods. In addition, the park provides a safer environment for both you and your pet.
A Paris KY dog park is provided in many municipalities so that pet owners can give their dogs the exercise they need without their pets coming into contact with other individuals. This not only protects people who do not own pets, but also serves to protect pet owners and their dogs, as many potential altercations are avoided when a Paris Kentucky dog park is designated for pet owners to bring their dogs to.
The Paris KY dog park is also safer than walking your pet on a neighborhood sidewalk because it is fenced in, often with a double fence. This keeps dogs safe from approaching traffic and allows them the ability to run freely. The Paris Kentucky dog park may allow pet owners to remove their dogs from a leash and roam throughout the park or the Paris KY dog park may insist that pet owner's keep their dogs on a leash at all times. It is ultimately up to the municipality that governs the Paris Kentucky dog park to decide which course of action to take.
Another advantage of the Paris KY dog park is that dogs learn to socialize well with other animals and other people. This is a key component of basic obedience training and it is reinforced each time that you take your dog to the Paris Kentucky dog park. In addition to allowing your dog to get the exercise that he or she needs, time spent at the Paris KY dog park also reinforces important social behaviors for your pet. These social skills are essential for your pet's overall health and happiness. A daily walk at the Paris Kentucky dog park not only keeps your pet physically fit but also helps to keep the dog happy and more content.
Going to the Paris KY dog park has many advantages. In addition to the advantages already mentioned, a daily trip to the Paris Kentucky dog park helps pet owners stay in contact with important resources that can serve to benefit the overall health of their pet later on. Many times advertisements for dog trainers or veterinary services are listed at the Paris KY dog park. Pet owners may even be able to find someone who is willing to walk dogs on a daily basis at the Paris Kentucky dog park, which can prove to be a valuable asset for pet owners who do not have the time to take their pet on a daily walk themselves.
The Paris KY dog park is a great place to take your pet. It gives dogs the opportunity to get some exercise and socialize with other animals. It also allows you as a pet owner to work on obedience skills and further train your dog. In addition, a daily trip to the Paris Kentucky dog park allows you and your dog to further develop the bond that you share each day.

Speech recognition
Speech recognition is any means by which you can interface with your computer via spoken word. This page is designed to identify applications that can facilitate speech recognition and to serve as a guide in installing and using this software in Arch.
A note to newcomers: Speech recognition is something that traditionally has not been well supported in Linux. If you become interested and choose to dig below the immediate surface, you can expect difficulty in finding documentation or help from the community.
- 1 Types of Speech Recognition
- 2 Development Status
- 3 Text-To-Speech
- 4 Voiced Commands
- 5 Speech Recognition
- 5.1 Free Speech Recognition Engines
- 5.2 Proprietary Speech Recognition Engines
Types of Speech Recognition
Speech recognition can mean several things:
- Text-To-Speech:
- As it sounds, Text-To-Speech (or TTS) will manipulate a string of text into an audio clip. There are several programs available that perform TTS, some of which are command-line based (ideal for scripting) and others which provide a handy GUI.
- Simple Voice Control/Commands:
- This is the most basic form of Speech-To-Text application. These are designed to recognize a small number of specific, typically one-word commands and then perform an action. This is often used as an alternative to an application launcher, allowing the user for instance to say the word "firefox" and have his OS open a new browser window.
- Full dictation/recognition:
- Full dictation/recognition software allows the user to read full sentences or paragraphs and translates that data into text on the fly. This could be used, for instance, to dictate an entire letter into the window of an email client. In some cases, these types of applications need to be trained to your voice and can improve in accuracy the more they are used.
Development Status
Several years ago there was a push to implement speech recognition in Linux. Since then, many of those projects have stagnated.
The two major players in text-to-speech applications are Festival and eSpeak. Comparison available here
Festival offers a general framework for building speech synthesis systems as well as including examples of various modules. As a whole it offers full text to speech through a number APIs: from shell level, though a Scheme command interpreter, as a C++ library, from Java, and an Emacs interface. Festival is multi-lingual (currently English (British and American), and Spanish) though English is the most advanced.
- Free
- Can install several different voices/accents.
- Available in Extra
eSpeak is "a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English and other languages, for Linux and Windows".
- Open source
- Lightweight
- Available in the community repository
- Excellent language support
Installing eSpeak
To install eSpeak:
pacman -S espeak
Testing eSpeak
echo "Hello. This is a test." | espeak
eSpeak Usage/Configuration
The Documents page on the eSpeak website here provides an excellent guide for using different voices, adjusting pronunciation, etc. There are many different accents included in this install that are worth trying out.
Voiced Commands
Gnome-Voice-Control is a dialogue system to control the GNOME Desktop. It is developed on Google Summer of Code 2007.
Available in AUR
VEDICS (Voice Enabled Desktop Interaction and Control System) is an assistive software which lets the user to interact with the OS using voice commands.
Note: Not yet tested
- Perform common window operations like close, minimize, maximize etc.
- Invoke default applications like browsers, mail clients etc.
- Access any element on the desktop just by saying its name.
- Supports GNOME3, GNOME2
Perlbox Voice is an voice enabled application to bring your desktop under your command.
- Last updated in 2005
- Package is in AUR, but missing festival-don dependency.
- Text to speech (Thanks to the Festival speech synthesizer)
- Voice control to open user specified applications. For example, if you say "Web", the Perlbox-Voice Control will open the browser of your choice.
- Desktop plugins to control your Linux desktop using only your voice. You can switch virtual screens, cycle through desktops, invoke the run dialog, quick lock the screen.
- Custom commands are fully supported, and you can add commands on the fly.
- Pseudo Commands' allow you to enter commands that the speaker should say. For example, if you say "Good morning", the computer voice could say "And good morning to you".
Speech Recognition
Free Speech Recognition Engines
CMU Sphinx
See http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/ and Wikipedia.
Proprietary Speech Recognition Engines
Dragon Naturally Speaking in Wine
Dragon Naturally Speaking software by Nuance is a well-functioning and popular implementation of speech dictation. It is developed for Windows, but has been run sucsessfully in a a linux enviornment using wine. It can be used independantly for dictation into other wine programs such as notepad or it can be paired with Platypus to interface with any native linux program. Platypus also provides a feature to control of your OS using voice commands, similar to the programs described in the Voiced Commands section.
Nuance's software is non-free, so you will have to purchase a copy. Note that Dragon provides you with the ability to install it on a set number of machines. Installing/Reinstalling in wine may use up some of these licenses.

AMD Radeon HD 4850 512MB Preview - RV770 Discovered
A Pleasant Surprise
Introduction and Early Peek
The AMD Radeon HD 4000-series of GPUs is one of those company "secrets" that no one actually tries to hide. AMD has gone out of their way to discuss these products without exactly disclose all the details - just this week we were at a "Cinema 2.0" event AMD hosted that described the architecture without detailing the product. The scheduled release for the RV770 parts, the HD 4850 and HD 4870, were scheduled for just this next week.
Well someone in Europe didn't get the memo, cards went on sale and thus our NDA on HD 4850s was lifted. The result? You cannot get a very quick preview of HD 4850 performance. We aren't supposed to be talking about the architecture, or the HD 4870, so let's just cut to the chase...
The MSI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
The sample cards we received were from MSI - though all the initial Radeon HD 4850 and HD 4870 cards are going to be essentially identical to reference designs.

From Dazzling Blue to Mandarin Orange – Pantone Debuts Broad Range of Colorful, Design-inspired Lifestyle Products at Maison & Objet
PARIS, Maison & Objet, Hall 6, I42, Sept. 3 – 7, 2010 – For the first time at the Maison & Objet 2010 trade show in Paris Nord-Villepinte, Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT) and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, will showcase the PANTONE UNIVERSE™ Collection, an expanding line of colorful, design-inspired products for consumers.

"65 percent of purchasing decisions involve color," explained Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute™, a color research and information center that shares its color expertise with professionals in a variety of industries. "Color has the unique ability to attract and engage the eye, elicit emotion, enhance products and environments, and ultimately tempt the consumer to buy. Color is the catalyst that can spark the sale, define the space and create the magic and mood."
PANTONE-licensed products are available at department and specialty stores as well as design-led retailers. Licensees are selected on the basis of their long-term commitment and understanding of the integrity and quality of the PANTONE brand.
