CULLIE JAMES JR., a world-renown metallurgist and pioneer in x-ray optics, age 74, of Oak Ridge TN, passed away Friday afternoon March 19, 2004 of complications from heart surgery. He was in the company of his wife and children at the Duke Medical Center in North Carolina. Dr. Sparks grew up in Kentucky, graduating from Paintsville High School in 1948. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in metallurgical engineering from the University of Kentucky in 1952 and became the third person to receive a doctoral degree from the UK College of Engineering. While growing up, Dr. Sparks worked after school and on weekends in the family grocery store. He supported himself and his wife while earning his PHD at UK with a paper route and as an ROTC member. He served as a Project Officer in the U.S. Air Force. After receiving his doctorate, Dr. Sparks joined the staff of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. He became Group Leader of the X-ray Research and Applications Group of the Metals and Ceramics Division at ORNL and received numerous awards for his contributions to science. Most notably, he was elected a Fellow of the American Society of Metals International and a Fellow of American Physical Society. He is the recipient of the Department of Energy Award for Sustained Outstanding Research and was chairman of the National Synchrotron Light Source Users Group. Dr. Sparks authored and co-authored more than 100 scientific publications and book chapters and holds two patents. He has served on several national and university science boards including the USA National Committee for Crystallography, is a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi honor societies, and is recognized in the Hall of distinction. His seminal x-ray research is legendary in the materials characterization community. In the 50's and 60's his collaborations with Professor Bernard Borie pioneered the use of diffuse x-ray scattering to study point defects in alloys. Their "Borie- Sparks Method" for analyzing diffuse scattering is still widely used for the analysis of point defects by diffuse neutron scattering and forms the basis for modern diffuse x- ray and neutron scattering methods. In the 60's Dr Sparks obtained pyrolitic graphite samples from Union Carbide Corporation. He recognized the potential of man-made graphite crystals to vastly increase the efficiency of x-ray and neutron optics and worked with researchers at Union Carbide Corporation to perfect the performance of graphite monochromators and spectrometers. By combining the natural tendency of mosaic graphite crystals to focus in the plane of scatter with out-of-plane focusing based on curved surfaces, Dr. Sparks created doubly focusing crystal optics still widely used around the world. A careful experimentalist, in the 70's Dr. Sparks discovered previously unsuspected inelastic scattering that contributed significant background to his diffuse x-ray scattering measurements. This "Resonant Raman X-ray Scattering" or "Sparks Scattering" was so unexpected, that although reviewers could find no fault in Dr. Spark's paper, they personally undertook experiments to test his results and verified, much to their surprise that he was right. Sparks scattering is now routinely used as a method to study the dynamics of x-ray induced atomic transitions. During the 70's Dr. Sparks became a strong advocate of emerging synchrotron radiation sources. He designed and implemented the first synchrotron-based x-ray fluorescence microprobe and with this instrument was able to convincingly show that primordial super-heavy elements did not exist in monazite inclusions at concentrations well below those suggested from proton microbeam measurements. This important work saved countless research hours and taxpayer dollars from a crash effort to understand the nature of long-lived super-heavy elements. In the 80's, Dr. Sparks proposed a new way to focus x-rays using bent perfect crystals. This method provides an order of magnitude greater intensity than alternative focusing methods and has been adopted at synchrotron facilities around the world. In addition to his scientific contributions Dr. Sparks was active in the Oak Ridge Community. He was particularly proud of his contributions as chief executive of the Anderson County Democratic party during the re-election campaign for Senator Al Gore Senior. He was also proud of his small contributions during the civil rights movement in Anderson County. Dr. Sparks and his wife Janet were active in the First Presbyterian Church Oak Ridge during the 60's and 70's and helped with the coffee house at the First Presbyterian Church. Dr. Sparks' knowledge of the Oak Ridge Community gave new comers a sense of security whenever they needed advise on home or car repairs. Although totally passionate about his work, Dr. Sparks had the ability to stop everything and help a friend or acquaintance in need Dr. Sparks is survived by: his devoted wife, Janet Elisabeth Sparks of Oak Ridge; his brother, Leland R. Sparks; and two sisters, Betty Jean Harp and Ida Frances Gullett of Lexington Kentucky; five children, Teresa Sparks-Scalia of Los Angeles, California, Wanet Sparks-Kuczynski of Durham, North Carolina, Linda Sparks-White of Maui, Hawaii, Jill Sparks of Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Brian Sparks of Knoxville, Tennessee. He has six grandchildren. A memorial service celebrating his life will be held Wednesday March 24 at 12:00 noon at the First Presbyterian Church, 1051 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. A potluck lunch will be held immediately after the service in the fellowship hall.

To anyone interested in KY Vital Records or vital records in others states which may follow suite if this happens: The Kentucky Legislature is getting ready to drastically limit access to Kentucky vital records including BIRTHS, DEATHS, MARRIAGES, and DIVORCE. (MILITARY RECORDS are also being limited but I do not know which bill is involved.) You can find the entire bill at: http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/record/04rs/HB100/SCS1.doc Death certificates will still be public record after 50 years but more recent death certificates will only be available to: 1. the decedent's widow or widower, 2. child eighteen (18) years of age or older 3. parent 4. grandparent 5. sibling eighteen (18) years of age or older 6. funeral director handling the decedent's funeral arrangements 7. personal representative of the decedent's estate 8. a named beneficiary of an insurance policy of the decedent 9. a person with a claim against the decedent's estate This means that genealogists can no longer order great-uncle Jasper's death certificate to see his parents' names. Birth records will be have limited access while the person is living but will still be public record after 100 years. Divorce and marriage records will be closed for 70 years. We are very late in the process. Jan 6-introduced in House; to Health and Welfare (H) Jan 15-posted in committee Jan 29-reported favorably, 1st reading, to Calendar with Committee Substitute Jan 30-2nd reading, to Rules; floor amendment (1) filed to Committee Substitute Feb 2-posted for passage in the Regular Orders of the Day for Tuesday, February 3, 2004 Feb 10-3rd reading, passed 94-2 with Committee Substitute, floor amendment (1) Feb 11-received in Senate Feb 17-to State and Local Government (S) Mar 16-reported favorably, 1st reading, to Calendar with Committee Substitute Mar 17-2nd reading, to Rules THIS TUESDAY, March 23, this bill will be voted on in the full Senate. If it passes, it will go to Gov. Fletcher for his signature into law. Call and email your senator and let him know that you want HB 100 to fail. Time is critical! Do it by Monday, at the latest. You can find your Senator at http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/whoswho/whoswho.htm Telephone: 502-564-8100 FAX : 502-564-6543 Postal address: 700 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort, KY 40601 Toll Free Numbers - 2004 Session (only for Kentucky) Bill Status Line: 1-866-301-9004 Legislative Message Line: 1-800-372-7181 This is the same bill that failed in committee during the last Legislative session. The genealogists of the state worked together to stop its passage.
