Sheriff's Office » Press Releases
Location: Redway
Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a Eureka man Friday night after finding him in possession of more than 20 grams of MDMA, commonly known as Ecstasy. At about 9:30 p.m., a deputy was on patrol in Redway when he saw a vehicle parked on the wrong side of Redway Drive. The driver side door was open and the dome light was on. The deputy approached to investigate and saw a man leave a nearby residence and get into the car. Upon contacting the man, Anthony James Pollette, the deputy learned that Pollette was on probation with a search clause. The deputy searched Pollette's vehicle and found 20.1 grams of Ecstasy powder. Additionally, deputies found 63 grams of concentrated cannabis at Pollette's residence. Deputies arrested Pollette and transported him to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. He was booked for possession of a controlled substance, possession of concentrated cannabis, and a probation violation. He posted bail in the amount of $20,000 and was released from custody early Saturday morning. He is scheduled to appear in court September 30.

Denton Corker Marshall has won a new commission to design a landmark development in the city of Ningbo.
Positioned on an island precinct of Ningbo, a city near Shanghai, the Dongqianhu International Educational Forum Complex is a large-scale multi-functional development comprising convention centre, exhibition hall, hotel, market and tourist facilities.
Denton Corker Marshall's striking design, influenced by China's rich culture and heritage, will provide an international waterside icon for the city. Reminiscent of the nine dancing dragons or the calligrapher's brush stroke, the complex's two 'arms' are composed of floating ribbon forms, twisting and turning along the lake setting. The exhibition hall for culture, art and education forms a 'tail' and 'body' to the dragons, while the convention centre rises up to form the head of the complex.

Dr. ELIZABETH J. ROBERTS believes that, at the insistence of the parents, "doctors are medicating far too many kids who just need a better upbringing." She writes:
In September 2007, researchers at Columbia University reported that there had been a 40-fold increase in the number of children diagnosed with bipolar disorder from 1994 to 2003 -- an increase which has shown no signs of slowing.
Worse than the current frenzy to diagnose children with bipolar disorder is the practice of medicating kids as young as 2 with the kinds of psychiatric medications that were once prescribed only to psychotic adults. The shocking reality is that the use of these potent anti-psychotic drugs in children increased more than 500 percent between 1993 and 2002. [snip]
The symptoms, which are regarded as evidence of bipolar disorder, usually are what most people recognize as ordinary belligerence. Children who have anger outbursts, who refuse to go to bed, who are moody and self-centered under the current standard of care in child psychiatry are being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. To most rational human beings, these behaviors describe an ill-mannered, immature and poorly disciplined child. Nonetheless, the temper tantrums of belligerent children are increasingly being characterized by doctors as the mood swings of bipolar disorder. [snip]
When it comes to misdiagnosing and overmedicating children, doctors have an unwitting, though not unwilling, accomplice -- the parent. Ultimately, it is the parent who is the gatekeeper for their child's health-care delivery. It is the parent who pursues psychiatric treatment for their child, fills the prescriptions and administers the medications. Parents have a duty to protect their children from the folly of this disastrous approach to childhood behavior problems. [snip]
Instead of grooming, feeding and educating the next generation of Americans to be the fittest, brightest, most competent contributors on the planet, we have indulged, placated and spoiled our children into dysfunctional misfits. We are teaching our children to use a psychiatric diagnosis to excuse their antisocial behaviors. This will inevitably lead to a greater reliance on psychiatric medications, which unfortunately do not endow an individual with improved self-control or maturity.

Obama to Return From Asia to Domestic Headaches
A political mess awaits the president when he finishes his diplomatic mission in Southeast Asia.
President Obama will return to Washington from Southeast Asia Wednesday to find a growing list of problems that need his personal attention, topped by a firestorm over Benghazi and a fight over the budget.
The firestorm comes from congressional Republicans who are critical of embattled United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice. They fault Rice for her attempts to explain an attack in Benghazi, Libya, last month that left four Americans dead, including a U.S. ambassador. Ninety-seven House Republicans sent a letter Monday to Obama arguing that Rice was misleading or ignorant of the facts and that the attacks were actually made by terrorists. Many Republicans are up in arms because the Americans weren't sufficiently protected despite signs of rising violence in the area.
[READ: House Republicans: Rice Unfit to Head State Department]
Senators John McCain of Arizona and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina are also criticizing Rice, who is considered a possible candidate for secretary of state when Hillary Clinton leaves the administration early next year.
Obama also will find that there has been little apparent movement toward a budget compromise since he left for Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia last weekend. There was another sign of trouble when House Speaker John Boehner appointed Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, chairman of the House Budget Committee, as his lead negotiator on the budget. This is troubling to Democrats because Ryan sponsored a House budget bill that calls for cuts and partial privatization of Medicare and reductions in other social programs that the Democrats defend.
[GALLERY: Obama Makes Historic Trip to Myanmar]
Adding to the Democrats' unease, Ryan was the Republican vice presidential nominee this year, and he often attacked Obama's economic ideas, including the president's support for tax increases on the rich, which Ryan opposes.
All this means that hopes are dwinding for a political honeymoon for Obama, who was re-elected November 6. He is expected to resume talks with the Republicans on the budget next week.
In the meantime, aides for all sides are trying to find a pathway to an agreement. If there is no deal, automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts are scheduled to take effect January 1.

|7 field.module
field_get_items($entity_type, $entity, $field_name, $langcode = NULL)
Returns the field items in the language they currently would be displayed.
$entity_type: The type of $entity; e.g., 'node' or 'user'.
$entity: The entity containing the data to be displayed.
$field_name: The field to be displayed.
$langcode: (optional) The language code $entity->{$field_name} has to be displayed in. Defaults to the current language.
Return value
An array of field items keyed by delta if available, FALSE otherwise.

Related API Function field_view_value()
It is worth noting that field_get_items() returns raw values the use of which can be a security risk. Passing the raw values through field_view_value() handles the sanitizing of the values.
field_get_items() without an explicit
langcode parameter should be used only in a display/render context since it will return the field items corresponding to the current display language.
set value of field
Is there any function like "field_set_items()" ? To set value of field?
on set & get
See here for info on the entity API (being able to set & get)
$entity_type for taxonomy terms is "taxonomy_term"
This might be obvious, but the first time I tried this function to pull a field from a single taxonomy term, I passed "term" as $entity_type. No-go -- got a WSOD with an unhelpful error. As taxonomy_entity_info() shows, it's "taxonomy_term".
Thank you.
I was hunting around for just this information.
Is there a list of core entity types (and their machine names) that I've overlooked? If there isn't, I might compile one. It's basic information that should be available in one spot, rather than having to hunt around individual API calls to find.
Thank you!!!
Exactly what I am looking for...
how would i use this?
a practical example would be useful.
i have a custom teaser "node--project--teaser.tpl.php" (used some php to enable this teaser override). i want to pull the raw value of the "style" field (field_style). how do i use field_get_items to do this? please don't get wrapped up in whether i'm trying to pull the first value or all of the values. either is fine.
Here is a practical example (theming)
Get only one item
Is there a way to get for example the first item of the field list.What I mean, is if for example in a node type I let the user to add 1 to 10 image files fields, when I list the nodes in teaser mode I only want to get the first image to display to the user and not to load all the image data.
Thank you!
Get first item only
$my_field_items = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_my_field');
if ($my_field_items) {
$my_field_first_item = reset($my_field_items);
$my_field_value = $my_field_first_item['value'];
what is "available"?
"An array of field items keyed by delta if available, FALSE otherwise."
What does "if available" mean? Set? Set and not empty? Does it vary depending on the field type?
Is a property assigned to an entity anytime the field exists, or only when the field is set with a non-empty value?
Discover entity type
You can always check your entity type by using entity_get_info()
Drupal 6 CCK
Does anyone know of an equivalent function to return the value of a field in cck (without having to know the structure of the data in advance?)

Difficult Interview
I interviewed at OPNET in December 2010.
Interview Details Was selected for an hour long Campus interview. Then invited onsite for a good full day's worth of interview. I had about 7 rounds of interviews, with 4 rounds going into indepth coding execercises. The last one, however, was a theoretical interview about networking and related concepts. Overall, a tiring, yet, flattering interview experience.

Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at OPNET.
Interview Details My OPNET interview process came in five steps:
1. 15-30 minute get-to-know-you phone call with an HR person
2. 60 minute technical phone call with a engineer
3. Timed at-home coding test
4. 60 minute technical phone call to review the results with a more senior engineer
5. Full 8 hour day spent at their Bethesda office. This included demos of their products, two more code tests, two more test-review sessions, more get-to-know-you interviews with mid to upper level staff, free lunch.
This might seem overly thorough, but it makes more sense than a 5 minute phone call and a two hour technical interview. When they decide to hire a candidate they want to be 100% sure he or she is the right fit.
All code tests were timed and focused on OO concepts and algorithms. All of them were done in notepad with no IDE, no compiling and thus no need to be syntactically correct. The most important part was the follow up conversation when you get a chance to explain your solution and thought process.
During the process I was surprised by OPNET's emphasis on academic pedigree. Several people I spoke to pointed out how the founders of the company went to MIT, and that many of them also went to impressive ivy league schools like Yale and Stanford. I was further surprised when they asked my college GPA. After ten years out of school I don't see how that information relevant (and I could barely remember). I too went to an impressive ivy league school and I can tell you first hand that it really doesn't mean much. If you're smart then you're smart and that's about it. Some of the brightest engineers I know are self-taught and went to what some might consider "unimpressive" schools. However I understand why this would be used to filter out candidates. As far as the engineers go, some were extremely serious and others were more casual and friendly, but everyone was certainly smart, passionate and excited about their work.
I was told in the beginning that if I made it to the full day session they would know right away whether they'd like to extend an offer. Three weeks later and I have yet to hear back. I've emailed my original HR contact several times and she keeps brushing me off. I am taking this as a "no", but I think if a candidate took this much time out of their schedule (including using a full vacation day) then OPNET should have the professional courtesy to give a prompt response, whether its yes or no, plus some shred of feedback.

I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at OPNET.
Interview Details they emailed me a design and programming question to be implemented in Java in 45 minutes. I guess they already had set expectations of what the implementation should look like, and right off the bat, the phone interview started with the interviewer asking me why I had implemented the way i I did. I said I had focused on trying to achieve the business goals in the tight time-frame. The interview did not really go well after that.

Interview consisted of mainly writing C programs and networking questions. and past experiences.

Daily Joke
During a Papal audience, a business man approached the Pope and made this offer: Change the last line of the Lord's prayer from "Give us this day our daily bread" to "Give us this day our daily chicken," and Kentucky Fried Chicken will donate $10,000,000 to Catholic charities. The Pope declined.
Two weeks later, the man approached the Pope again - this time with a $50,000,000 offer. Again, the Pope declined. A month later, the man upped the price to $100,000,000, and this time the Pope accepted.
At a meeting of the Cardinals, the Pope announced his decision in the good news/bad news format. "The good news is: We have $100,000,000 for charities. The bad news: We lost the Wonder Bread account."

Just sometimes a product is dropped on your desk, which makes you think Oh dear. This is awesome! Why has no one thought of this before?

Fox FX Flatliter ( new 2013, FREE POSTAGE )
Bed & Bag System
When Fox launched their Flatliner bedchair in 2011, it took the carp fishing world by storm and overnight changed the face for bedchair design forever. The beauty of the Flatliner design was that it had Cam Wheels that could be rotated 180-degrees so that they were completely out of the way when not required during a fishing situation, this was an age-old problem and it had been eradicated! Since the launch of the Flatliner more and more anglers have grown to appreciate the benefits of not having the cams in the way and in fact many anglers now dont even require the cams as they use a bedchair only for its bed functionality and not to also be used as a chair. With this in mind and taking into consideration the sheer number of anglers requesting a more compact, stripped back, lightweight sleeping option, Fox set about developing a new concept in bedchair design or should we say bed design and the result is this stunning Flatliter concept that comes as a full system with a detachable sleeping bag.
Double Hinged Bracket at both head and foot end, eliminating need for cams
Heavy-duty tension strap with glass-filled nylon clip to secure bed closed for transportation
Folds away extremely compact with sleeping bag system still attached to bed frame
Bed and Bag combined weighs just 12kg!
One-piece lumbar support on middle and head section gives a much firmer mattress and prevents sagging
Unique leg design with single legs at both head and foot end for increased stability, this means you only have 6 legs rather than 8 but still have full support at both ends, this also vastly reduces the weight of the system
Twist Lok mechanism for infinite leg adjustment as used on Flatliner bedchair
Large mud feet
Bed has a soft-touch high density fleece covered mattress
Sleeping bag is rated a 3-4 season and has both internal and external zip baffles
Bag has an easy glide polyester inner lining
Heavy-duty 10mm snag-free, crash zips on sleeping bag
20% of the bags filling is below you and the other 80% is above you to prevent heat loss, very much like your bed at home where you have a thin sheet layer beneath and the bulk of the quilt cover above you
The bag attaches to the bed via two large elasticated hoods at both end then large Velcro lengths down both sides to ensure it doesnt move around on the bed
Dimensions: 210cm x 90cm x 40cm, Max Height 55cm
Folded dimensions: 82cm x 90cm x 28cm

Delkim Smart Clip
The Delkim Smart Clip is a unique multipurpose line clip which can be used as a conventional fixed clip but more importantly as a running clip in many configurations.
It is designed to allow the bobbin or visual indicator to travel right up to the rod before the line tightens. This enhances bite indication but it can also be used to change the effective weight of the bobbin by adjusting its position along the rod.
The running clip is a simple self-adjusting design consisting of two small stainless steel balls in a channel, one of which is tensioned by a small spring.
It has an O ring fitting which allows attachment at any point to any diameter of rod and is designed to be left in position for casting.
The Smart Clip is sold in a pack of 3, complete with 3 O rings for fitting.

Grp G: Genk vs Videoton Preview
Genk manager Mario Been insists his side will not take Hungarian opponents Videoton lightly in Thursday's Europa League opener.
The Belgian side will welcome Paulo Sousa's team to the Cristal Arena for the first of their Group G fixtures on Thursday evening.
Tougher matches lie ahead for Genk as Sporting Lisbon and Basle make up the rest of their group, but Been has already seen Videoton overcome another Belgian side, Gent, in qualifying.
"Sporting Lisbon is the toughest opponent based on status and results of the past," Been told his club's official website, www.krcgenk.be.
"Basle is also a very tough opponent and Videoton should definitely not be underestimated.
"Teams at this level have more than earned their place and there are no ugly ducklings once you are in the group stage.
"We have, despite the young age of our team, a mature and experienced group even at this level.
"I am firmly convinced that we have the qualities to get results in the pools, starting against stiff opponents Videoton."
It will be the first time the teams have met, although Videoton's Balasz Toth is well placed to give his team-mates some advice.
The midfielder played for Genk between 2007 and 2011, scoring eight goals in 69 league games.
"They are a very well organised side who play aggressive football and this is their main strength," Toth told the club's official website, www.vidi.hu.
"I believe that Genk will be similar with our other Europa league opponent Gent, but their style of football is totally different.
"Genk are physically stronger, and as I have already mentioned, use their power and strength."

Reviews for Cream-Filled Cinnamon Coffee Cake(11)
Sort By :
cake is moist and has a good texture and taste. We liked the filling, never have any leftover...
This was really good, because of the reviews and the fact that the filling seemed like too much effort for me I opted to use my homemade cream cheese frosting instead. This cake is very delicate so be sure to use the wax paper as instructed or you'll end up with a pile of cake crumbs. I didn't like this cake when it was chilled in the fridge so I just heat up leftovers in the microwave for a few seconds. This will be going into the recipe box.
I used homemade buttercream filling.
I made this recipe a couple days ago and it was great! I only thing I did not like was the filling. My family and I found it bland and tasteless- it did not have much flavor and it had a strange consistency. Next time I make this, I will make sure to use a different filling. Maybe try a cream cheese type icing. The cake was great though. I left out the pecans too. All in all, this recipe is great but keep it mind the filling is very different.
Made this as a cake for my mom's b-day, she works at an assisted living facility, she shared her cake with several of the elderly women having a social. Everyone was pleased with it~ Mom was happy!

New Job Listings Suggest Both 'iLife' and 'iWork' Could Get Overhaul In Coming Months – [RUMOR]
As relayed by MacRumors, new reports by both Apple Bitch and MacNN this week suggest that Apple may be in the process of hiring, with the aim being to revamp both its iLife and iWork products.
According to the report, Apple has recently added "several job postings" that "explicitly reference the iLife team or the suite itself, including requests for an engineer in the iLife Frameworks QA department."
With one specific job listing seeking:
"a QA engineer to help test new features in iPhoto (that requires a "passion" for digital photography); a Senior User Interface Designer for iWork, and two Senior Software Engineer positions that explicitly reference working on the user interface of iLife."
With the recent ousting of Forstall from the company, both iLife and iWork's show of "skeuomorphism" design – (the art of making surfaces look like, and resemble, real-life objects) – is now highly expected to disappear as a result of this overhaul.
The latest major update to Apple's productivity suite arrived with the launch of iWork '09, in January 2009. Meanwhile, the last major update to the company's creative 'iLife' suite arrived in October 2010, with the release of iLife '11.
While both reports suggest the company has begun its hire-drive for such projects, though, it is so far unknown as to when exactly these "revamped" versions of the firm's core software suites will become available for public download.

This is a love story. A triple love story.
Yes, a growing and sometimes challenging triple love—between two Kalamazoo College graduates and the city of Detroit, between these two and their alma mater, and between these two: Leigh Ann Ulrey '11 and Sam Brennan '11.
Leigh Ann and Sam met as incoming freshmen. She was from Texas; he was from Grand Rapids, then Northville in his high school years, a suburban area west of Detroit. A country apart, but Leigh Ann and Sam connected at LandSea in Killarney, Canada, an opportunity that is part of the College's first-year orientation program. They have been together, meeting challenges side-by-side, ever since.
It begins like this: "When I lived in Texas, I was looking at colleges somewhat nonchalantly, " said Leigh Ann. "Kalamazoo College kept sending postcards, and gave me a reason to take my search more seriously after I looked into what K had to offer, and that all started because I liked the funny name."
On the basis of that funny name, or perhaps in spite of it, Leigh Ann applied to Kalamazoo College and, to her pleasant surprise, found it was everything she was seeking in a college education. Much more than "just sitting in a classroom," as she put it, and she liked the study abroad options and the ratio of professors to students.
Moving so far from home was not a deterrent. "Of course, I missed my family, but I had moved six times by the time I was in 7th grade, so I was used to the changes that come with moving." Leigh Ann considered it a change in cultures, and Kalamazoo College would introduce her to many more cultures. Once she had arrived, she knew she wanted to major in psychology.
For his part, Sam Brennan did a general college search, looking for a small school with exciting opportunities. Kalamazoo College fit the part. He would cross the state and major in anthropology and sociology.
Both signed up for Landsea, Kalamazoo College's unique 18-day wilderness pre-orientation program.
Three years later they both came back as Landsea Leaders.
"We didn't talk much until the last day of LandSea," Leigh Ann smiled. "And then, we talked. We couldn't stop talking. We were up until 5 a.m. talking and found out we had a lot of common interests."
It was a formative moment, and another such moment happened when Leigh Ann heard Diane Seuss, writer-in-residence, during her first-year seminar.
"She said you can't wait for opportunities to fall in your lap. I will always remember that," Leigh Ann said. "She was also part of the reason I minored in women's studies."
Leigh Ann and Sam shared a similar study abroad experience in Thailand.
She said: "In Thailand, I learned to appreciate the value of people, how much knowledge and experience people have to share, not just the experts and top leaders."
He said: "In Thailand, I started thinking about sustainability. That experience was the seed for my interest in sustainability when I learned about taking care of farms, coral reefs, the islands."
Leigh Ann's Senior Individualized Project was titled "Communicating Sexual Consent," and it combined her interests in psychology and women's studies. Sam's was titled "Sustainable Development, Millennials, and the Pursuit of Happiness," outlining the tensions between capitalism and sustainable development and what his generation could do about seemingly irreconcilable differences.
When the couple graduated in 2011 they considered: Where next?
Leigh Ann had never been to Detroit before she had come to K, and even then, she'd been put off by the warnings she had heard. Detroit was the most dangerous city in the country, Detroit was a dying city, Detroit had little to nothing to offer—that sort of thing. Sam, meanwhile, knew better. Detroit was pretty close to his home turf. He put Detroit as well as Chicago on his list of considerations for future
career moves.
"I was figuring out my interests, thinking about where to go," Sam said, "and then I heard about City Year, and I was blown away."
City Year is a part of AmeriCorps, with a mission to build democracy through citizen service, civic leadership, and social entrepreneurship. Members mentor and tutor for a year to help youth avoid dropping out of school. Sam joined up, and so did Leigh Ann.
It was at a talk given to City Year participants that Sam and Leigh Ann first heard about Challenge Detroit. The end of their year with the organization was coming to an end, and they were once again facing the question: What next? The person giving the talk was Deirdre Greene, co-founder and organizer of Challenge Detroit, a partner organization to City Year, and she was telling her audience about her new organization.
"Detroit is the city of opportunity," Deirdre said. "It's not a city for the weak or the lazy, but those who are hard workers. Our criteria for participants are that you have passion and an attitude of wanting to do something to revitalize this important city."
With the loss of talent in Detroit over the past several decades, the city has taken a hard hit in economic and intellectual power. Challenge Detroit gathers young, innovative thinkers to live in the city for one year. During that year, they work to rejuvenate the city, each in his or her own way. As the founders, Deirdre Greene and Doyle Mosher, describe it, Challenge Detroit is: "One city, 10 team challenges, 30
organizations, hundreds of leaders, thousands of innovative thinkers, a community-wide effort, an explosion of ideas."
"For our first year, we had about 900 applicants," said Deirdre. "We narrowed those down to 100, and then we asked these applicants to create a one-minute video that we then posted on Facebook.
People could vote on applicants, and that narrowed it down to 60 finalists who then went on a two-day interview trip to meet a panel of professionals, tour the city, and spend some social time together. We brought it down to 29 applicants who have been hired for one year by 27 host companies—a couple companies chose more than one. Sam and Leigh Ann are two of the 29."
To have two people chosen from Kalamazoo College, Deirdre said, was nothing short of remarkable. The 29 fellows came to Detroit from across the country, and the competition was tough. Applicants were recent college graduates, with bachelors or masters degrees. Challenge Detroit was looking for a diversity of talent—business developers, artists, engineers, name it. The host companies for which they would work for that year would give them challenges to be innovative in their fields.
Sam was hired as an environmental coordinator by Edw. C. Levy Company in Dearborn. "Slag processing is the core of the Levy business," he said. Levy provides services to steel mills and specializes in asphalt production and paving, ready-mix concrete, mining and land reclamation. "Slag is a steel making co-product, something that has usually been seen as waste, but Levy had developed ways to use slag in asphalt, concrete, and as a soil conditioner to improve crops. What I like about Levy is that everything we do has a foundation in recycling.
"Thailand was the seed for my interest in sustainability."Specifically in the sand and gravel mining area, we are already thinking about how we return what we mine back to the earth. It makes economic and environmental sense."
Meanwhile, Leigh Ann found her year-long employment with the Compuware Corporation. "I work in the culture, community, and diversity department," Leigh Ann said. "Compuware was one of the first big companies to move back to Detroit during the slump when most businesses were moving out."
Leigh Ann "does a bit of everything," she said, and works with a supervisor and one colleague on outreach to the community. "It's a very exciting, meaningful engagement. Right now, for instance, we are partnering with Habitat for Humanity, and Compuware employees helped to build a house for something we call 'Project Welcome Home.' Out of about one hundred applicants, Habitat narrowed
it down to 10, and then Compuware narrowed it down to one family, a young couple with two little boys, chosen to receive the home. We don't just work with the family, though. We work with the whole community to identify and meet the needs to be a healthy community."
Both love their new jobs, and both are hoping their employment will go beyond the one-year requirement. It's not only a good job, however, that makes a good life. As part of their Challenge Detroit requirement, they had to find a place to live in the inner city. Mention safety issues, and Leigh Ann and Sam shake their heads.
"Yes, yes, I know," Leigh Ann said. "Forbes magazine once wrote that Detroit was the most dangerous city, but that's out of context. Most of the violence against women here is within relationships, people you know. I feel safe walking the streets here."
"You'll see smashed car windows in every city," Sam added. "It feels no different to me to walk the streets of Detroit than Kalamazoo. Downtown Detroit is one of the safest downtowns in the country. I definitely see Detroit as a place I would like to stay." Sam thought for a while, then added: "Detroit is big enough to matter in the world. Being here … it's part of something unfinished. I like being a part of
building it up again, and reinventing it."
The two strolled down the streets of downtown after a late afternoon meeting with Challenge Detroit fellows, discussing the challenges they were set to meet and overcome in their upcoming year while they headed toward home. They had been assigned ten such challenges, spread over the year, and the challenges included community impact, increasing food access, immigration, education, community
enterprise, health and well-being, environmental and social justice, media messaging, and arts and culture.
"You know, when I came to Detroit, I ran into another K alumnus doing interviews for a host company with Challenge Detroit, who graduated a few years earlier," Sam said. "We were talking about our years at Kalamazoo College and the alumnus stated something that seemed very true to me. 'K people know how to think,' he said. 'We know how to go about solving problems—it doesn't matter what major. That's what a Kalamazoo College education leads to.'"
"This has all been a very natural journey," Leigh Ann added. "All part of a larger picture. It was Kalamazoo College that made us feel like we could conquer anything."

Bulls hang on to claim first Big Bash win
The Queensland Bulls bowled and fielded marvelously to beat the Tasmania Tigers by 9 runs in a low scoring affair at the Gabba to claim their first KFC Big Bash win of the season.
Faced with a run chase of just 154 runs the Tigers started their innings as favorites but the Bulls worked well in the field to keep the Tigers at bay.
The Tigers lost opener Rhett Lockyear (3) in just the second over with Ryan Harris picking up the wicket before Tim Paine and Alex Doolan started the recovery for the Tigers.
Their partnership of 29 runs got the Tassie's back on track before Paine was run out in the forth over, Doolan followed soon after to leave the visitors 49-3.
Another run out turned the course of the game at a time when the Bulls were starting to feel their total wasn't enough. Michael Dighton and John Rogers had steered the Tigers passed 100 when Nathan Rimmington struck to run out Dighton for 24 at the non strikers end.
Rogers (24) was bowled by Harris from the very next ball to leave the stunned Tigers 107-6. Naved-ul-Hasan (4) and Brendan Drew (0) were dismissed in the next over as the Bulls marched towards victory.
Earlier, it was the turn of the Bulls to be blown away by the Tiogers bowlers as Brett Geeves who took 4 wickets in the space of 5 balls to set the Tasmanian Tigers a total of 154 to chase for victory at the Gabba.
Geeves struck in the 12th over to remove Craig Philipson, Andrew Symnonds and Ryan Harris to claim his first Twenty20 hat trick and leave the Bulls 105-6. He returned an over later to remove Chris Simpson with his second ball to put the Tigers well and truly on top.
After winning the toss and deciding to bat the Bulls didn't get off to the best start losing opener Nathan Reardon for 4 before James Hope and Lee Carseldine shared a partnership of 66 to put the Bulls on course for a total of around 175.
After Hopes was caught at long on by Naved-ul-Hasan off the bowling of Brendan Drew for 50 Carseldine soon followed to leave the Bulls 85-3. With another 10 overs to go the Bulls were still on top but that all changed when Geeves struck.
The Bulls tried to recover but lost wickets at regular intervals to leave the Tigers needing 154 for victory.

First off hi, I am 26 weeks pregnant, having a baby girl, and plan on breastfeeding. I also have a son that will be 15 months when she is born. So for some reason I keep thinking of this and thinking this is going to happen. As I am breastfeeding my daughter my son comes up and wants to breastfeed too. Is it weird that I keep thinking this, should I let him, and is it weird if I do let him breastfeed too? When my son was a couple of weeks old I got mastitis and ended up in the hospital with a temp. of 104, so once I got out of the hospital I stopped breastfeeding him because I didn't want that to happen again and be worse then before. Yes I feel guilty for doing it that way and I think that is why I keep thinking of this. What should I do?
First off do not feel guilty for the choices that you make for your family. I nursed one of mine for 8 months and with my last one I got sick and was only able to do it for 2 months. I figure as long as you try. For some it just does not work out. As far as your son goes I would just tell him has best as he can understand what it is you are doing and that this is how his baby sister gets milk. You drink from a sippy cup like a big boy. My daughter thought that I could produce anything I wanted. Orange juice, tea or soda. Whatever the baby wanted at the time. :) (He might not even care). I would maybe get him a bottle and a baby doll and show him how boys feed babies. You could show him the difference in being a mommy and a daddy. Just make it fun and light hearted and he should not care.
I think that Lovefamily6 gave you some wonderful advice! Stay positive and keep us posted on how things go!
Congrats on your little girl. :-) First off, it's pretty rare that a toddler who has not nurses in a long time is even able to breastfeed. It's a skill they forget pretty quickly. Some women do nurse a toddler and baby at the same time, but that if they have been nursing all along. I'd encourage you to allow him to be curious about it but point him towards his big boy cups, etc. as Lovefamily6 mentioned. I think he'll probably move on pretty quickly, if he does show interest. It's not weird that you are wondering about this - it's a legitimate question! :-)
There's nothing "weird" about tandem nursing. Plenty of women nurse two children at once. It's an individual choice about whether you want to do so.
Also, there's nothing "weird" about nursing an older child. While not common in modern American society, during other times AND currently in other cultures people nurse older children. One anthropologist did a study on this and determined that the normal biological age for weaning of a human child is anywhere between 4 years old and 7 years old. it's your choice about whether you want to welcome your older child back to nursing.
You can feed both of them, lots of moms do, but the breastmilk for the girl will contain stuff that she needs, all of your breastmilk will be tailored to the newborn, so I suggest you pump a lot now and freeze it for him. But it won't harm him, feed him the new milk, if anything, it will be beneficial.
