The Genealogy That Didn't Get Done
To contact us Click HERE
My entire little family of three was home for the entire Thanksgiving week. It was glorious.
At the beginning of the week, my intent was to work like a horse on my genealogy database. I had huge plans for all those "free" hours in my schedule. Then life got in the way.
On Monday, I spent my couple free hours having an opinion on something. It wasn't my intent to write anything that day, but it needed to be said.
Tuesday was my usual client site visit, so no personal genealogy that day.
On Wednesday, my son asked me to take him to see some trains. It seems he met another railfan online and wanted to meet him in person. This sounds sketchy I know, but it was a nice meet up. They're the same age and both use the same equipment. This is how railfans roll:
Thursday was obviously Turkey day. It was also football day. I'm a Texans fan, so if you saw the game you know why I had to take the rest of the day to recover. No genealogy for me.
The rest of the week and weekend I just enjoyed having my family home. I was also unapologetically lazy.
My intent last week had been to hang out with the dead. However, life got in the way and reminded me how important it is to hang out with the living. So I did.

The Best Genealogy Publication You're (Probably) Not Reading

The fall 2012 issue of the Federation of Genealogical Societies FORUM came out yesterday. It's fabulous.
Here the highlights of this issue:
Records Access in a Post 9/11 World by David Rencher, AG, CG, FUGA, FIGRS
President's Message by Pat Oxley
Introducing the New FGS Website! by George Morgan
FGS 2013: A Great Opportunity to Research Your Ancestors by Tina Lyons
Member Society News by Lisa Alzo
Genealogy 2.0 by Randy Seaver
Family Associations by Christine Rose, CG, CGL, FASG
Genealogy Blogging by Amy Coffin
Records Preservation and Access Committee (RPAC) by Linda McCleary
Book Reviews by Paul Millner
That's quite a cast. I still can't believe I'm a part of it. I should add that Paul Millner reviewed 16 items in this issue. That's a lot of reading on his part.
Anyone can subscribe to the FGS Forum. You do not need to be a society officer or even a member. An annual subscription for the quarterly is $15. A two-year subscription is $25 and FGS recently offered a three-year subscription for $30. A subscription also includes access to previous digital issues starting with Winter 2011.
The FGS Forum is an all-digital publication. It is delivered in PDF format via email. It is slick, colorful and easy to read. The topics in this issue and others reflect a wide range of genealogy subjects, not just those concerned with genealogy societies. For example, Rencher's post-9/11 record access article is important to everyone who has ever requested a record for genealogy research.
Also, a hat tip to Paul Millner and his generous supply of book and product reviews. It's always exciting to read about new publications on the shelf.
Though I write for the Forum, FGS did not compensate me for this mention. I also pay for my own subscription. I just really enjoy reading the Forum and feel it's the best genealogy publication you're (probably) not reading.

It's been a while since my last post. I'm still around. I just needed a break.
I'm going away again. I'll be back on this blog in full force by January 15, 2013.
Part of my time away includes being off the grid. For that reason, I'll be turning on comment verification for a couple of weeks. I will go back to open comments when I come back. I promise. It's just that the comment spam is pretty bad right now, and this is the only way I can fully control it for the times when I won't have Internet access.
I've also added comment moderation, so there will be times when no comments are published to this blog. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I hope everyone is doing well, genealogically speaking. I'm excited for the new year. I hope it brings new discoveries and new friendships.
See you on the flip side.

Strong probation for felony DWI in Tarrant County

DWI becomes a felony and thus prison-eligible (third degree felony, 2-10 years) in Texas upon the third conviction. But a specialty court in Tarrant County called the Felony Alcohol Intervention Program has avoided sending hundreds of 3-time DWI defendants to prison through a strict strong probation regimen. Reported WFAA-TV on Monday:
The four-year program isn't easy. Program participants are required to spend 10 days in jail, take random urine and breath tests, intensive counseling and alcohol treatment, weekly court appearances and meetings with probation officers. They must also maintain full-time employment.
"A lot of people don't understand that when you're incarcerated and directly taken out of society, you don't get an opportunity to change your life, because you're just sitting in a cell," Knapp said. "There's no support. There's nobody there to help you."
The FAIP program is saving taxpayers millions of dollars. It costs $50 a day to house inmates in Texas prisons. Tarrant County's program costs $3 a day.
"It's not that people drink and drive," said Judge Sharen Wilson, one of the founders of the DWI program. "It's that they drink and drive and hurt somebody. So until we break that cycle, then I think the cost is incalculable."
Judge Wilson said if the offenders violate any of the program's requirements, she has no problem sending them to prison. But this DWI program is the most successful probation program in Tarrant County.
Of the 261 offenders admitted into the program since 2006, only two percent of them have returned to prison.
Litigation to probe whether DA retaliated against scientists over DWI forensics

Two former crime lab employees have filed a civil suit in federal court alleging retaliation by outgoing Harris County DA Pat Lykos for revealing damaging information about Houston PDs blood alcohol testing vans, or BAT vans, as they're universally known. Reported the Chron ("Former HPD crime lab supervisors file retaliation lawsuit," Dec. 17):

Two former Houston Police Department crime lab supervisors have filed a federal lawsuit against Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos, saying the county's top prosecutor retaliated against them after they spoke out about problems with HPD's breath-alcohol testing vans.Big Jolly has more, including audio of the plaintiffs at a press conference. I've little to say about the latest developments that hasn't been said before, save one thing: This type of scandal is exactly the sort of episode that would benefit greatly from the thorough vetting provided by the Forensic Science Commission. But DWI-related testing is specifically exempted from their purview in their governing statute. That's as unfortunate as it is pointless. Without that sort of neutral venue for vetting forensic failings, all that's left for getting at the truth is litigation regarding ancillary employment issues that may or not implicate the flawed science in the case. Restrictions on the FSC's jurisdiction over common forensic practices like DWI testing and fingerprint examination should be repealed. Those areas aren't immune from error and the FSC has earned the opportunity to tackle them based on the professionalism and rigor of their past investigations. They'd be fair (IMO perhaps even too lenient), and even if they discover negligence or misconduct, the sky wouldn't fall.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, was brought against Lykos, prosecutor Rachel Palmer and Harris County by Amanda Culbertson and Jorge Wong, identified as "citizen whistle-blowers" in the lawsuit.
Among several allegations, the lawsuit says that officials with the DA's office retaliated against Culbertson and Wong by lobbying the Harris County Commissioner's Court to cancel a contract with a local private laboratory, where the two found jobs after leaving HPD.
The lawsuit also alleges that retaliatory actions taken by Lykos and Palmer included harming Culbertson and Wong's reputations and putting their licenses as technical supervisors for the state's breath-alcohol testing program at stake.
Culbertson and Wong said the retaliation began after they expressed concerns about the reliability of tests conducted in HPD's breath-alcohol testing vans.

Diversion programs treat prostitutes as victims

Corpus Christi is developing a new diversion program for alleged prostitutes based on a similar, successful initiative in Dallas, the Corpus Christi Caller Times reported ("Corpus Christi police mull program to treat suspected prostitutes instead of jail them," Dec. 17). The story opened:
It's been said a definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result; to the extent that's the case, the traditional law enforcement approaches to prostitution are clearly insane. So it's great that Dallas has pioneered a service-based approach to prostitution diversion, and I'm glad to see other jurisdictions are considering following their lead.
At the Legislature, a quick check finds three bills filed so far related to prostitution: HB 32 by Menendez is an enhancement for pimps, as though passing harsher laws ever succeeded at eliminating the "oldest profession." And HB 90 by Senfronia Thompson would create broad civil liability for pimps, an approach which to me seems laughable given that most all of them would likely be judgment proof.
The only bill so far building on the Dallas diversion model is HB 91 by Rep. Thompson, which would create a "pre-adjudication diversion program" for juvenile prostitutes, mirroring the approach Dallas and Corpus Christi are pursuing. Grits sees no reason to limit such a approach to juveniles, but that bill would be a good start.
Police officers and health care providers soon will give prostitutes an option to get off the streets and find help.The news was welcomed by the Caller Times editorial board, which concluded:
Instead of jail time, law enforcement plan to work with county health care officials and judges to provide social services and health screens for people accused of prostitution.
Police Chief Floyd Simpson said the idea is modeled after a program he saw while working in Dallas, where police and medical staff set up mobile clinics in areas with the most prolific prostitution rates.
Known prostitutes were screened for diseases and offered options to find a legitimate job, go back to school, or receive mental health care instead of jail time.
"We're trying a different approach rather than just arresting them again and again," he said.
The shifting attitude of law enforcement is a welcome about-face from the hard line encouraged by a state law passed in 2001 allowing felony prison time for a third prostitution conviction. All that did was clog the system at a high cost. The Simpson/Dallas solution is compassionate but also pragmatic.Such programs are a welcome change from the sorts of anti-prostitution stings we usually see, like the one recently reported by WOAI in San Antonio. That story quoted a business owner in the area where SAPD conducted labor-intensive undercover stings last month, and "while he is glad the activity has recently slowed down he said it won't last." “It's usually a temporary thing that it slows down for awhile when I guess the cops get tough on them and then it starts all over again,” he said, presciently.
As Jason Boland says in his song about a stripper, "it's all about the money," and society saves a lot of it by not arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating. The American-Statesman's Mike Ward reported last summer that incarceration in a state prison for a year costs $18,538, or $15,500 in a lower-security state jail, but enrolling the prostitute in a community-based program for a year costs $4,300.
That's a simple equation that tough-on-crime sticklers should take into consideration: Treating prostitutes as criminals costs quadruple the price of helping them rejoin society.
There's something poetic in those mathematics, considering that society's treatment of them as throwaway people is what pushed most of them into their unfortunate circumstance in the first place.
This is a rare case where turning around one life makes the whole program worthwhile on at least three levels — heart, soul and pocketbook.

Trista Sutter’s sculpting by Dr. Franklin and Cindi Rose
Lucky for the Bachelorette’s and Bachelor’s that Erica Rose’s father is famous plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose, and her mom is noted silhouette artist, Cindi Rose. It makes the contestants and winners look and stay beautiful. Recently, the first reality Bachelorette, Trista Sutter, met up with Bachelor legal star, Erica Rose, and discussed her wanting an updated look. Although Erica thought Trista looked beautiful, she referred her to her father (who would never operate on his family). Trista had been admiring Emily Maynard’s plastic surgery, and did not want to be Bachelorette history. For her first meeting, in Franklin Rose’s hometown, Aspen, Colorado, Trista drove in from Vail. The petite beauty was met by Franklin and Cindi Rose.
As always, Cindi took out her surgical scissors and in a minute sculpted the world’s darling’s profile. Trista loved it, and signed it with her good-valued signature. Trista commented that her children would love Cindi Rose’s artwork. Her real concerns however was, a drop of fat, droopy eyes, and breasts that were not what they were pre-children.
Franklin Rose, a board-certified MD, who studied at Yale, Manhattan Eye and Ear, and Baylor College of Medicine, booked the soon to be 40 year-old at his doctor owned surgical center, First Street in Houston, Texas.
Trista got small breast implants, and the tired look erased from her lovely blue eyes with upper and lower eye lifts. In her pre and post-op photos it appears that she may have had liposuction. Word is that there is a room in The Rose Home devoted to patient care, and that after a luxurious stay at First Street Hospital (with culinary meals and wait staff), patients recover with Cindi Rose’s low-fat, organic nutritious meals and care. No wonder, the most beautiful men and women in the country get on Bachelor and Bachelor Pad, they have a connection—Erica Rose’s father. Unlike what people would think, Erica’s perfect size 4, 5’ 8” figure is natural. Her mother and grandmother where former beauty contest winners, and it is a natural for Erica. Read Life & Style Weekly to see Trista’s before and after plastic surgery photos and decide yourself, if she did or did not also have liposuction. I think somewhere there is also word that there could be a book coming out about parenting, and being in love, penned by no-other than America’s darling, Trista Sutter!
