Mary Beth Waters has been making her "love packets" for children for about three years now, but recently received the challenge of her life - taking the love packets and making them for the children of troops being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We make 'comfort bags' for children dealing with crisis situations," Waters said. "But after watching the movie 'Taking Chance' starring Kevin Bacon, I couldn't get the story off my mind.
"I think the Lord wants us to make the love packets for the children of the troops."
More information
The Love Packets Ministry needs the following items to complete its packets given to children: stuffed animals, Bibles or comfort cards, juice boxes, packages of individual cookies or cheese crackers, folders filled with coloring pages, small packs of crayons, fleece blankets and storybooks.
Entities that benefit from receiving Love Packets include: Randall County Sheriff's Department, the office of the Randall County Criminal District Attorney, the Ronald McDonald House, Baptist St. Anthony's Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare System, Court Appointed Special Advocates, two foster care agencies, three homeless shelters in Amarillo, the Rape Crisis, Domestic Violence shelter, the Red Cross, CityChurch, the Women's and Children's Health Clinic and Cornerstone Outreach.
Waters' first stop was to contact Vicky Richmond at the Red Cross, who forwarded her on to Jack Barnes of America Supports You Texas.
"I wanted to see what he thought about making the packets for the kids. I did, and he said he needs 300 love packets by July 31."
Waters said she was thrilled by Barnes' response "But now I wonder how in the world we can make that many packets at once."
The Love Packets Ministry last year made 200 for CityChurch to distribute to Filipino street children, but the ASYT request was 50 percent more than that order.
Waters said each love packet contains a stuffed animal, a Bible or comfort cards, a juice box, a package of individual cookies or cheese crackers, a folder filled with coloring pages and a small pack of crayons.
"If we get a fleece blanket or storybook donated, we include them," she said.
The Love Packet Ministry expects to have 130 packets ready to go this week, and members of Coulter Road Baptist Church are making about 100 more, she said.
The ministry also donates the packets to a variety of agencies in the community.
"The two CareNet Crisis Pregnancies regularly need 75 to 100 love packets, so we are not turning down anyone who needs the packets because of the troops' children packets," Waters said.
"We are grateful to everyone who helps," she said. "Most people donate items and then sometimes they want to come to our workroom and help us fill the love packets for the children. I love those times, especially when kids come and help. I call it, 'kids helping ... kids.' "

NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMay 04, 2013 Contact: Megan Hanson, (512) 463-0112
AUSTIN —The Texas House of Representatives today passed SB 60 by Texas State Senator Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, to better protect children from identity theft by allowing parents to place a freeze on their child's credit history.
"By allowing parents to place a 'Do Not Enter' sign on their child's credit record, this legislation will help protect young Texans from identity theft," said Senator Nelson. "This crime can have a devastating effect on an individual's personal finances, and we should ensure that our young people can begin their adult lives with a clean financial slate."
The bill, which will now be sent to the Governor for his signature, requires credit reporting agencies, at the request of a parent, to create a credit record for a child under the age of 16; authorizes parents to place a security freeze once a file is created; and prohibits the release of information for credit purposes. In the past three years, 57,000 cases of child identity theft have been reported to the Federal Trade Commission.
SENATOR JANE NELSON represents District 12, including portions of Tarrant and Denton Counties. She is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services.

That was his original plan and the Rolling Stones frontman told BBC Radio today that his music career has not been challenging intellectually and that teaching might have been "gratifying."

The first newly constructed football stadium has received the highest green building rating - LEED-Platinum - from the US Green Building Council.
The 31,000 seat Apogee football stadium at the University of North Texas will host university events, as well providing a venue for outdoor concerts, community events, high school games and band competitions for the region.
The $79 million stadium's high performance, energy efficient design will use 25% less energy than a conventional stadium and 52% less water in this drought-stricken state. It's built on a former golf course.
When three wind turbines start operating in December, it will be the first collegiate stadium to produce onsite renewable energy, generating 6-8% of the electricity for Mean Green Village (which includes other athletic facilities).
Notably, over 50% of the stadium site is preserved or restored with landscaping that is native to the North Texas climate. Combined with permeable pavers, the site will reduce runoff (if it ever rains!) and minimize the heat island effect.
20% of the materials used to build the are made with recycled content and 47% are manufactured locally. Higher percentages of fly ash replace cement to reduce carbon emissions during manufacture.
As has become fairly standard these days, low emitting materials were used for adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings and flooring.
The University of North Texas is committed to LEED certification for all new buildings, and was the first large public university in Texas to sign on to the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment in 2008. There currently are three LEED-Gold certified buildings on campus, with two more awaiting certification.
HKS Sports & Entertainment Group designed the project, which was built by Manhattan Construction Company.

Four dead, church torched in Kenya riots after Muslim cleric killed
MOMBASA, October 4, 2013 (AFP) - Four rioters died and a church was torched amid gunfire Friday, as police in Kenya's port city of Mombasa quashed protests sparked by the killing of a Muslim cleric.
Battles broke out as armed paramilitary police moved towards a mosque, whose leaders have been accused of links to Somalia's Islamist Shebab, insurgents who massacred 67 in Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall last month.
Angry protestors took to the streets after unknown gunmen assassinated a popular Muslim preacher and his three companions in a drive-by shooting late on Thursday, a killing that mirrored the murder of another extremist cleric last year that provoked days of deadly riots.
"We will not tolerate unruly youth taking over the town," Mombasa police chief Kipkemoi Rop said, adding that 24 had been arrested.
A Salvation Army church was torched, but firemen brought the blaze under control.
Mombasa is Kenya's main port and a major tourist hub, popular with visitors coming to enjoy the white sand beaches on the Indian Ocean coastline.
Riots, which began after midday Muslim prayers, had largely calmed by late afternoon with Kenya's national crisis centre reporting only "sporadic violence" and stone-throwing youths.
The crisis centre said three people died of stab wounds, while the Red Cross said another hit by gunfire died in hospital. Seven others were wounded.
Slain cleric Sheikh Ibrahim Ismail was viewed as the successor to Aboud Rogo Mohammed, a controversial preacher accused of links to Somalia's Shebab insurgents, who was shot dead in August 2012.
Like in the case of Rogo, radical preachers have said the killing of Ismail was an "execution" by the police, which denied the claim.
During rioting, thick smoke from burning tyres rose around Mombasa's Masjid Musa mosque -- where both Rogo and Ismail used to preach -- as police fired tear gas and youths hurled stones in return.
Salim Abdallah, a witness, said he saw one man who had been shot in the belly "bleeding profusely" with his clothes soaked in blood.
"We just pray for him," Abdallah said.
It was not clear who was responsible for the gunfire.
Police claim control
Sporadic clashes and looting were reported in several districts of the city, but as dusk approached, the police insisted they were in control.
"We have deployed enough officers to get the streets back to normal," Rop added.
The killing of Ismail follows attacks last month by the Al-Qaeda linked Shebab, who launched a deadly assault on an upmarket Nairobi shopping mall in a four-day bloodbath.
The Islamists have since threatened "rivers of blood" would flow in fresh attacks if Kenya does not pull its troops out of Somalia.
Rogo was on US and UN sanctions lists for allegedly supporting the Shebab, including through recruitment and fundraising.
Another radical cleric, Abubaker Shariff Ahmed -- known more commonly by his nickname "Makaburi" or "grave" in Swahili -- accused the police of the "outright execution" of Ismail and his comrades.
"The police are killing people while saying it is a war against terrorism, this is a war against Islam," said Makaburi, a former close colleague of Rogo who is also on a UN sanctions list, accused of recruiting and fundraising for the Shebab. "These people have been executed."
Local police chief Julius Wanjohi has appealed to the public for information on the attack on the cleric.
Salim Abdi was the only person in the car to survive the attack.
"There were gunshots and the vehicle veered off the road, I don't know how I walked out of the vehicle alive," Abdi said. "All four others I was with in the vehicle died on the spot."
An AFP reporter said the car, whose windows were shattered and doors riddled with bullet holes, had smashed into the verge off the main coastal highway running north out of Mombasa.
Some bullet casings lay scattered around the car, suggesting that shots had been fired after the vehicle had stopped, while Ismail's bloodied body lay slumped on the backseat with his companions.

In Trinidad & Tobago there are two systems of land registration:
1) Deed Registration
2) Title Registration
Both have existed side-by-side since 1889 and are managed by the Land Registry in the Registrar General Office.
The Land Registration Act, 1981
Deed Registration
Registration of land under the above is regulated by two ordinances:
Registration of Deeds Ordinance,1885
Conveyancing and Law of Property Ordinance, 1940
They require that the original title deeds of a land parcel be deposited in the Land Registry, as evidence of the land
transaction. This system is favoured for its simplicity of procedure and the low cost of registration and although it provides
evidence of transactions which are recorded, it should be remembered that registration of a transaction is voluntary.
Moreover, the Deed Registration System does not require an official survey of the land so any land tenure drawings may
be lacking or imprecise.
Title Registration
This system was introduced via the Real Property Ordinance, 1889. The advantages of the title system are that a certificate
of title is issued for every land parcel registered and an approved survey of the land parcel is required for registration.
The Land Registry keeps the following records of land registered under the title system:
Real property index
Title register
Real property journal
Index of Lis Pendens (Index of suits concerning title to land)
Judgment book
The title register contains the original certificate of title, the instrument of transaction and the cadastral survey plans.
Individual records are retrieved using: the certificate of title number, the book volume number, and the folio number.
The main problem of the system is the long time it takes to retrieve information.
Provisions in the legislation were made for the transfer of lands already registered under the deed system to the title system.
Few owners, however, have undertaken this option.
Over a period of time, the operation of the two existing registry laws will be replaced by the the Registration of Titles to Land
Act (16/2000), the Land Adjudication Act (14/2000), and the Land Tribunal Act (15/2000). These new laws are intended to
improve the reliability of the real property rights system in Trinidad and Tobago.
It is important that the above mentioned documents required for the operation of the existing laws will receive enhanced
protection and renewal during the transition period to the new Land Title Legislative Package. Furthermore, at the
appropriate time, it is hoped that the old land records will be transferred in good order to an enlarged and better equipped
National Archives of Trinidad & Tobago.
The Terra Institutue/Ministry of Agriculture stated in 1999 that 47% of households in the country did not have adequate
documentation of rights to the land on which their houses were built. In addition, 55 % of farmers did not have documented
rights to the land they farmed. This situation may affect your family history research.
See: http://www.ttparliament.org/about.php?mid=36&id=mrFFC622
The Registration of Titles to Land (Amendment) Bill, 2012
The Registration of Titles to Land (Amendment) Bill, 2012 was introduced in the Senate on 6 March, 2012 by Senator the
Honourable Emmanuel George, Minister of Public Utilities.

England's World Cup dream could well rest on tomorrow's crunch clash with Uruguay in Sao Paulo.
Roy Hodgson's men were unfortunate to lose their opener against Italy in Manaus, but there will be no room for hard luck stories if they are eliminated from the World Cup at the first hurdle.
Like England, Uruguay were also beaten in their opening game as Costa Rica took full advantage of Luis Suarez' absence to grab a shock 3-1 win.
But the Liverpool man will be back and ready to fire tomorrow and despite the players suggesting otherwise, if the Three Lions can stop him, they'll be a step closer to three points.
Here's all the important info on where you can watch the crunch clash.
Which channel is the game on?
England vs Uruguay will be on ITV1 and ITV1 HD on Thursday night.
Coverage will begin at 7pm, with the match kicking-off an hour later.
Adrian Chiles will again be on hand as presenter, with ex-Three Lions stars Glenn Hoddle, Lee Dixon and Ian Wright providing the analysis.
ITV stalwarts Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend are set to take their usual place in the commentary gantry.
Which channel are the other games on?
As you will have noticed by now, there are three World Cup matches on every day at the moment.

Cukor family settles lawsuit against Berkeley police
The family of Peter Cukor, who was allegedly killed by a mentally disturbed man in February 2012 while he waited for police to come to his house, has dropped its lawsuit against Berkeley in exchange for promises to change the questions dispatchers ask those calling during an emergency.
Berkeley has not admitted any fault in connection with the tragedy, said R. Lewis Van Blois, who represents Cukor's widow, Andrea, and her adult sons Alexander and Christopher.
"The changes will result in better communication between the Communication Center and the emergency caller regarding police response to calls," said Van Blois. … Continue reading »
Family of murder victim Cukor files suit against Berkeley
The family of Peter Cukor, killed by a mentally disturbed man outside his Berkeley hills home on February 18, filed a wrongful death lawsuit Thursday against the city.
R. Lewis Van Blois, the Cukor family attorney, charged in the lawsuit that the city and police acted grossly negligently in their handling of Cukor murder. At the core of the case is the issue of how seriously police took Cukor's call and how promptly officers responded.
"Peter Cukor had called the Berkeley Police Department on their emergency number for help to request a police officer be sent to their home right away because the intruder was attempting to get inside the Cukor home and was acting strangely," Van Blois said in a press release. "The police dispatcher promised to get someone to their home soon and the Cukors relied on this representation. In fact, the Berkeley Police Dispatcher never intended nor requested a police officer to respond and when a police officer called to say he could respond to the call, he was told not to go. Soon thereafter, the intruder attacked Peter Cukor and fatally struck him on the head with a flower pot." … Continue reading »
Family of murder victim criticizes police response
Peter Cukor used his cell phone and what he had been told was an emergency number when he called Berkeley police to report that a strange man was lurking around his property, his family said at a press conference Friday.
Just about a week before Cukor was allegedly attacked and killed by 23-year old Daniel DeWitt, he received an email from a neighborhood group informing him to program 510-981-5911 into his cell phone to use during emergencies, according to R. Lewis Van Blois, an Oakland attorney representing the family. Cukor used that number at 8:45 pm on Feb. 18 to convey that he needed a police officer to help immediately, said Van Blois.
Berkeley police did not respond immediately to Cukor's request for help because the dispatcher did not think there was a crime in progress or any threat to life. Cukor called on a non-emergency line and spoke in a calm voice, Berkeley police have repeatedly said. … Continue reading »

Many CCRC trails stay snow free all winter ... here are a few views from one that does NOT!
Monarch Crest Trail Ski - April 5, 2008
Monarch Pass to Marshall Pass on the "trail", then down snowy Marshall pass road to bottom.
7:30 AM start - it wasn't crowded.
North Fooses creek and Peck Peak in sight.
Once on the crest, the route gets easier and harder.
Lots of wind, great views, large cornices, funky snow.
Impressive sculptures along every ridge.
Fortunately and humorously, the trail still held a little snow from a recent storm - a thin white line in a windswept land.
Great views of Chipeta and Ouray
from the now well-buried trail.
Nasty snow meant sidestepping and other variations on survival skiing. No smooth telemark turns here.
A favorite part of the trail on the western side of the crest.
Note fuzzy appearance of grass and snow in high wind.
The last long climb past Cochetope pass, and the nicest snow along the Crest Trail.
Removing skins in the shelter of an odd cornice in the middle of the ridge. Finally, downhill and better snow.
Despite much searching, the trail was not evident in the trees - so we just contoured across the sidehill.
A big smile at the top of Marshall Pass.
The slow part is over, now to cover the remaining miles.
Easy downhill skiing on the Marshall Pass Road.
One snowmobile had tracked the recent snow.
Nice views of the Sangre de Cristos.
The second and last of two short walks in snow free zones.
The car awaits :-).

|Rajon Rondo will sit vs. Wizards, Celtics announce
|01.22.14 at 4:40 pm ET
Rajon Rondo will not play against the Wizards on Wednesday, the second night of a back-to-back following a 93-86 loss to the Heat.
The Celtics cited "precautionary reasons" for holding out Rondo in just his fourth scheduled game since returning from ACL surgery.
Meanwhile, Jerryd Bayless (toe) and Avery Bradley (ankle) are also expected to miss Wednesday's game, leaving only undrafted rookie point guard Phil Pressey and recently signed D-League guard Vander Blue as the only healthy members of the C's backcourt against Wizards starters John Wall and Bradley Beal.
Wings Jeff Green, Gerald Wallace and Chris Johnson, who scored 11 points in his Celtics debut Tuesday, could also see minutes at the 2.
Keep in mind veteran guard Keith Bogans was granted leave from the team over a playing time dispute and remains on the roster for $5.1 million.
|2013 NBA Mock Draft
|06.27.13 at 5:03 pm ET
After a fortnight of Doc Rivers talk, believe it or not, the NBA draft is Thursday night. When you wake up Friday, the entire Celtics roster could be traded, but for now we'll take a stab at how the 2013 edition of the league's most unintentionally comical night might unfold.
1. Cavaliers: Nerlens Noel (Kentucky). Despite a knee injury early in his freshman season that's the latest in what is a concerning injury history for a 19-year-old, the 7-foot center and Everett, Mass., product is the best player on the board in a draft without superstars. Still developing offensively, he's an elite shot blocker.
2. Magic: Ben McLemore (Kansas). Already facing questions about a few rumored poor workouts and his relationship with an agent prior to leaving college, the 20-year-old shooting guard can still shoot the lights out.
3. Wizards: Otto Porter (Georgetown). Considered "a sure thing" by many as a big body (6-9) on the wing, the 20-year-old's Washington D.C. ties make too much sense here.
4. Bobcats: Victor Oladipo (Indiana). A 6-foot-4 shooting guard who isn't considered a great shooter, the 21-year-old is lauded for his leadership, freak athletic ability and defensive skills.
5. Suns: Anthony Bennett (UNLV): The Suns need help just about everywhere, so why not begin with a 6-foot-8 20-year-old forward who can hurt you inside and out?
|Return men: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett return as Celtics beat Wizards
|04.07.13 at 8:23 pm ET
Paul Pierce scored 15 and Kevin Garnett added 10 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes as the Celtics beat the Wizards, 107-96, Sunday night at TD Garden. The Celtics were 3-5 in the eight games Garnett missed with inflammation and bone spurs in the left ankle.
Pierce missed only Friday's game with a sore right ankle, as the Celtics recovered from Friday's embarrassing 97-91 loss to the Cavaliers, a game that snapped Cleveland's 10-game losing streak.
Not only did the Celtics (40-37) get their two star regulars back from foot injuries, Boston took a step closer toward clinching the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference as they lead the Bucks by two games in the loss column with five games left to play.
Chris Wilcox had a big first half off the Boston bench, scoring eight points and helping the Celtics to a 56-52 halftime lead. Wilcox finished 5-of-6 from the field and led all Boston bench scorers with 13 points.
Leading the way was forward Brandon Bass with 20 points as the Celtics outscored the Wizards, 31-19, in the third quarter and built an 18-point lead.
Bass shot 9-of-12 from the field and played a team-high 36 minutes to lead the Celtics, who watched as the Wizards closed the lead down to 10 with three minutes remaining but could get no closer.
Boston is off Monday and Tuesday before finishing their four-game homestand on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets at 8 p.m. at TD Garden.

|Irish Coffee: Celtics no longer intimidate NBA dregs
|11.09.12 at 8:37 am ET
When Jeff Green suggested "teams are no longer scared" of the Celtics after they lost to the Bucks, it seemed to be his interpretation of Kevin Garnett's postgame "pack of hyenas" speech. Under Doc Rivers in the KG era, the C's earned a reputation for playing defense with an edge, and without it they're just another basketball team.
So, when even 19-year-old rookies born in the Bill Clinton era don't fear the Celtics, who will?
"We know they're vulnerable," said Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal, the NBA's third overall draft pick in 2012. "We know that they are an aggressive team, but they are a lot older then we are, so we are going to try and wear them down. They have a decent bench, and their bench comes in and gives them immediate scoring — everybody has the green light. So, our plan is basically to wear them down and keep pushing the ball in transition and make sure our pick-and-roll defense is what it needs to be, especially on Paul Pierce."
Beal wasn't the only Washingtonian unfazed by the Garden banners or Celtics mystique. If the current C's players can't get inside the heads of NBA newcomers or make them think twice about driving the lane, then they're no longer hyenas on the hunt. Instead, Wizards and Bucks smell blood in the water.
Take Kevin Seraphin as Exhibit B. In two games against the Celtics, the 22-year-old product of France has totaled 35 points and 16 rebounds. So, when Garnett trapped him in the corner late in the fourth quarter, drew an offensive foul and tried to snatch the ball away from him after the whistle, he wasn't intimidated, resulting in a Garnett technical and an 84-82 Wizards lead with 1:07 remaining. Who's in whose head now?
|The newest Kevin Garnett analogy is a weird one
|11.08.12 at 1:12 am ET
You're in for something special when even Kevin Garnett admits, "That was a weird interview." Last season, he compared team chemistry to frying tortillas and baking cakes. This year? After the Celtics (2-2) escaped a second straight game against the depleted Wizards, KG invoked cable providers and DVR in one strange analogy.
"You can't speed chemistry up," said KG. "I think the more practice, the more you get familiar with each other. There's no hit the fast forward button here. You've got Comcast. Some shows you can't fast forward through. You've just got to let it go through and watch the silly ass commercials and be pissed, right? This is what this is.
|Fast Break: Celtics survive another Wizards scare
|11.07.12 at 10:21 pm ET
Thanks to double-doubles from the Big Three, the Celtics survived a second straight game against a Wizards team missing two of its best players. It wasn't pretty — and required OT — but the Cs' evened their record at 2-2.
Rondo's 18 points and 14 assists in the 100-94 victory moved him alone into third place in NBA history with 28 consecutive games with 10-plus assists (behind John Stockton's 29, Stockton's 37 and Magic Johnson's 44).
Garnett (20 points, 13 rebounds) committed what could've been a costly technical foul when he jerked his elbow in Kevin Seraphin's direction late in the fourth quarter, but two Paul Pierce (15 points, 10 rebounds) steals and a Rondo 20-footer with 26 seconds left helped force overtime as Rondo's 3-pionter at the end of regulation fell short. The C's defense arrived just in time to salvage the game in OT.
First things first: The Celtics repeatedly assure the offense will come once they can get back to playing the kind of defense that's been the trademark of their success the past five seasons. Wednesday night's first quarter was a start. Led by Garnett and Lee, the Celtics held the Wizards to 29.2 percent shooting (7-24 FG) in the first 12 minutes, building a 21-16 lead that should have been bigger if not for five C's turnovers.
Garnett gold: Since nobody else put forth any effort in the opening 24 minutes, Garnett exerted twice as much. By halftime, he had 10 rebounds, seven points and two blocks. His final first-half defensive stand was remarkable, singlehandedly guarding the right side of the court and eventually blocking a Trevor Booker layup attempt with two seconds left on the shot clock. Without KG on the floor, the C's finished minus-13 before the break.
Forward progress: Finally given an opportunity to contribute midway through the third quarter, Chris Wilcox ran the floor with Rondo, made his only field goal and got to the line five times for six points to go along with two boards and a block. In just four minutes of action, he finished a plus-11 — while Garnett sat on the bench.
Very Terry: After admitting it was an adjustment to mesh with a new system, Jason Terry finally asserted himself into the offense. He took 15 shots, made seven of them and scored 16 points off the bench. Somehow, the C's reserves still got outscored, 53-41.
|Box and 2: Inside Celtics, Bucks and Wizards, oh my
|11.05.12 at 2:39 pm ET
Friday: Bucks 99, Celtics 88; Saturday: Celtics 89, Wizards 86: Observations about the box scores from Games 2 & 3 of the C's (1-2) 2012-13 NBA season.
— Called upon by Doc Rivers Friday night to protect the paint against the Bucks, when smaller lineups weren't working, Darko Milicic played 4:30 of the first quarter. He missed his only shot — an air-balled baby left hook — and committed more turnovers (2) than he totaled rebounds (1) or blocks (0). Then, he didn't play Saturday.
Kevin Garnett: "We're still playing with the chemistry. We have different lineups in which Doc is playing with simultaneously, and we're still working. No one said this was going to be an easy process."
Translation: "The Darko Experiment is called that for a reason. Let's just hope it doesn't blow up in our face."
— Over the weekend, Brandon Bass finished a minus-11 in 40:52 without Jared Sullinger on the floor. The Celtics outscored the opponent in just two of his 10 stints sans Sullinger — by one in the final 3:53 of the first quarter against the Wizards and by two Terry free throws in the final 1:35 of that game. Without Bass on the floor, Sullinger finished a plus-14 in 33:29, and the C's outscored opponents in five of those eight stints. (In case you were wondering, the two played 14:40 together, finished a minus-9 and only outscored opponents once in six stints.)
Rivers (via the Herald): '[Sullinger] brings a different component, more importantly rebounding. He knows how to play without the ball. He's a great passer. He blends well with our starting group.'
Translation: "Sorry Brandon, but you're going to see a lot more Sullinger in the starting lineup."

- Evolutionary topology optimization of periodic composites for extremal magnetic permeability and electrical permittivity

- Abstract
- This paper presents a bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method for designing periodic microstructures of two-phase composites with extremal electromagnetic permeability and permittivity. The effective permeability and effective permittivity of the composite are obtained by applying the homogenization technique to the representative periodic base cell (PBC). Single or multiple objectives are defined to maximize or minimize the electromagnetic properties separately or simultaneously. The sensitivity analysis of the objective function is conducted using the adjoint method. Based on the established sensitivity number, BESO gradually evolves the topology of the PBC to an optimum. Numerical examples demonstrate that the electromagnetic properties of the resulting 2D and 3D microstructures are very close to the theoretical Hashin-Shtrikman (HS) bounds. The proposed BESO algorithm is computationally efficient as the solution usually converges in less than 50 iterations. The proposed BESO method can be implemented easily as a post-processor to standard commercial finite element analysis software packages, e.g. ANSYS which has been used in this study. The resulting topologies are clear black-and-white solutions (with no grey areas). Some interesting topological patterns such as Vigdergauz-type structure and Schwarz primitive structure have been found which will be useful for the design of electromagnetic materials.

There's a Foxx Guarding the Ag-Policy Henhouse
In my post on the recent House Republicans' assault on progressive ag policy, I mentioned the move to shut down USDA's Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative. The sponsor of the amendment that did the dirty deed is Rep. Virginia Foxx (R.-N.C.)—who, it turns, out, represents my district in Congress. This is the sort of thing she gets up to when she's not defending children from the scourge of gay marriage, or lashing out at undocumented workers (who, incidentally, form the backbone of our area's Christmas tree and nursery industries.)
As I mentioned in my previous post, Know Your Farmer is essentially a website. it gathers up and spotlights a hodgepodge of existing programs, funded by the 2008 Farm Bill, that direct modest amounts of money to rebuilding local and regional food systems and supporting new farmers.
That's actually a significant service. The USDA's own site is infamously unwieldy and impossible to navigate. Without Know Your Farmer, the few progressive federal ag programs we have—for example, ones that that help make farmers markets accessible to low-income mothers, or help small farmers launch profitable food businesses—would likely wither on the vine.
But Know Your Farmer isn't just a website. It's also the USDA's most high-profile acknowledgement since the post-war rise of industrial agriculture that alternative food systems exist, matter, and deserve support. For decades, the USDA's approach to agriculture could be encapsulated in the famous mantra of Ezra Taft Benson, Eisenhower's USDA chief: "Get big or get out." That attitude still dominates our farm policy, but Know Your Farmer shows that a rogue faction now operates within the agency, one that acknowledges that the scaling up and corporate domination of US agriculture hasn't redounded to the public good.
Overall, Obama's Ag policy has been wildly inconsistent, and has more often than not tilted toward the interests of Big Ag. But Know Your Farmer stands as his acknowledgement that the sustainable-food movement has earned a seat, even if not a particularly powerful one, at the ag-policy table after decades of grassroots policy work.
For Big Ag and the politicians who do its bidding, that's apparently an unacceptable situation. Last year, three agribiz-aligned senators lashed out at Know Your Farmer in an angry letter to USDA chief Tom Vilsack. The initiative "involves subsidizing the so-called locavore niche market," the lawmakers complained, decorously neglecting to mention that Big Ag gets many times the support in the form of crops subsidies and various ethanol goodies.
And now we get a full-frontal attack from the House, in the form of the dread Rep. Foxx's amendment to shut down Know Your Farmer. Like her stances on gay marriage and immigration, Foxx's jihad against Know Your Farmer is absurd. She mounted her attack based on budget concerns; but the initiative has no budget of its own. As the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition dryly put it recently, "The practical impact of the Foxx amendment is unclear. The Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative is not a program per se and does not have its own budget. Hence it is difficult to know how USDA would interpret the restriction."
I suspect Foxx's move wasn't really about saving money, since you don't save much by shutting down a website; but rather about sending a message: The USDA belongs to the companies that dominate US food and ag, not to the communities working on the ground to create alternatives. There's more at stake here than just a web site. The Know Your Farmer flap is really about whether our political system is capable of conducting even moderately progressive food and farm policy.

Rob Wilkerson
With saxophonist Rob Wilkerson's group, you are as likely to hear a tune by Elliott Smith or Coldplay as a jazz standard. Rob's original music acts as the central force, blending seemingly disparate elements in a cohesive "other." Imaginary Landscape, Rob's debut album on the Fresh Sound New Talent label, reflects his diverse influences, and was deemed worthy of several "best of 2004" lists. As an improviser and composer, Rob is deeply interested in melody and mood; harmony serves these considerations, rather than dictating them. In the words of Marc Meyers (All About Jazz), "…Rob Wilkerson speaks to our times. His music is personal, profound, and thoroughly refreshing."Read more

We read with interest the three case reports by Chan et al. (1) regarding persistent fluid leak, confirmed as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), following combined spinal epidural anesthesia. They discussed the dilemma of management of the leak, exacerbated by the fistulous track left by the indwelling epidural catheter. Recently, we had a similar dilemma in the management of a patient who had an epidural infusion for postoperative pain relief after laparotomy. It was considered impractical to site the epidural before induction, so, after instituting general anesthesia, the epidural space was identified using "loss of resistance to air" technique at the T11/T12 interspace (16-gauge Tuohy needle, left lateral position). When the epidural catheter (Portex, multi-orifice), not prefilled with fluid, was threaded through the needle, clear fluid was seen in it, which could not however be aspirated freely. The catheter was withdrawn to 11 cm at the skin and flushed with normal saline. Free flow of fluid was noticed up and down the catheter when opened to air, therefore, implying that the catheter was within the spinal canal, although the possibility of a dural tap by the catheter was noted.
The postoperative course was uneventful until the second postoperative day, 3 hours after the epidural catheter had been removed. Clear fluid was seen leaking from the epidural puncture site that was initially assumed to be CSF. However, the patient had neither headache nor any neurological signs or symptoms. Examination of the back revealed dependent edema along the length of the back and a normal epidural puncture site. A sample of the leakage fluid was collected and tested with a reagent strip, which was consistent with this fluid being interstitial fluid and not CSF. The leak subsided spontaneously on the fifth postoperative day without any further active management.
We feel situations like this might occur more frequently in future because of increasing use of epidural infusion postoperatively for analgesia in high-risk surgical patients. In a recent audit of epidurals for postoperative pain relief in surgical patients conducted in the hospital, the incidence of fluid leak from epidural puncture site was found to be 10% despite there being no identified dural taps. We did not, however, analyze the composition of the leaking fluid biochemically. This increasing problem of fluid leak from epidural puncture sites needs to be studied in more detail so that the true incidence of fluid leak (CSF or interstitial) can be identified to help plan the logical steps for diagnosis and management of this problem.

Musical Theatre as Liberal Education: Interdisciplinary Lessons from Sondheim
Spring 2015 quarter
Taught by
"Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos."
"Musicals are, by nature, theatrical, meaning poetic, meaning having to move the audience's imagination and create a suspension of disbelief, by which I mean there's no fourth wall."
--Stephen Sondheim
Stephen Sondheim is widely considered by critics and public alike to be the most influential and innovative composer/lyricist in American musical theatre. His works demonstrate that musicals, both on and off Broadway, are powerful vehicles for important ideas about self, culture, history, and creativity. Working with the sources, scores, and texts for these complex and subtle musical plays requires us to collaborate, to cross cultural barriers, and to become personally engaged with the ways they are embodied. We will learn how Sondheim brings "order out of chaos." From a performance standpoint, we will study (and sing!) representative songs from Sondheim's musicals. Students will also actively participate in staging practices of the musical in general and Sondheim's works in particular. Our examination of Sondheim's art will also involve analysis and some writing. Students will be expected to read the assigned texts, do required listening and screening, and complete all writing assignments.

This protein has everything you want in a post workout. BCAA,carbs, and protein. If you look at the Macro profile, it is similar to weight gainers. Arnold is a 1-1, while most other gainers are 4 or 5 to 1 carbs to protein ratio. I take 1 scoop and that puts each serving at about 1.25 per serving. The bucket says it has 15 srevings, but thats if you take two scoops. It helps me to not get the shakes after working out.
This stuff is among my top favorite products from ON. They really nailed the post workout drink with this product. You get the carbs, the protein, and some extra nutrients for good measure. I got a huge reduction in recovery time. And it tastes great. I recommend it to all my friends.
I have been taking 2:1:1 recovery for just over a month now and I have had solid results and great recovery. It does what its supposed to do, which is to help you recover after hard workouts. My only complaint is the price. The price is fine if you only use 1 scoop per shake, but I use 2 scoops so a tub only has 15 servings.
This product is shockingly good. I usually take this after hardcore conditioning for basketball and the next day im not sore. I always have those workouts where you think to yourself man am I going to be sore tomorrow but im not after taking 2:1:1. Not only does it work it tastes great. I looked forward to drinking it after my work outs because it tastes go good.

8 Uncanny Animal Rights Comics
Comics have always reflected the times, and the following eight comic books are no exception:
1. We3
This three-part miniseries by comic royalty Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely tells the story of three animals who have been altered by the government to become killing machines. The escaped animals embark on a search for "home"—wherever and whatever that may be. It's a beautiful, trailblazing series.
2. Chew
Chew follows detective Tony Chu (get it?) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Tony is a "cibopath," or someone who has psychic visions of whatever he eats. That means if he eats an apple, he sees the apple's whole existence—and if he eats an animal, well, it's not too pleasant.
3. Pride of Baghdad
Pride of Baghdad is the real-life story of four lions who escaped from the Baghdad Zoo after a 2003 American bombing. The discussions that the lions have—about whether they are better off in the zoo or outside and what makes for a fulfilling life—are what we all should be having about animals in captivity.
4. Animal Man
Animal Man has the power to use the abilities of animals (such as flight and the proportionate strength of an ant). First made popular by Grant Morrison in the 1980s, the series is making another critically acclaimed comeback under Jeff Lemire. Animal Man is a dedicated activist and vegetarian who saves the world, like, all the time.
5. Liberator
Matt Miner and Javier Sanchez Aranda's Liberator tells the story of two animal activists who sneak into dogfighting compounds and animal testing facilities to liberate the animals and make life difficult for their abusers. Of course, we'd never advocate this kind of activity, but it sure is fun to read about.
6. Elmer
What if chickens could suddenly talk and reason, as humans do? That's the question author and artist Gerry Alanguilan explores in the excellent series Elmer. It recounts the decades of civil struggles following a mysterious event in which chickens suddenly gain human-level intelligence.
7. Superman: Birthright
In Mark Waid's classic take on the Man of Steel's origin story, Superman has the power to "see" the life leave a human or animal's body, which in turn, encourages him to go vegetarian. So the next time that you're convincing someone to go vegetarian, just tell them that Superman went, too.
8. The Walking Dead
Thanks to the popular AMC TV show, most people have heard about Robert Kirkman's bestselling comic. The book follows Rick Grimes as he attempts to navigate a world full of monsters trying to eat him. Must be hard, huh?
And there you have it! Pick up one of these books today and use it as inspiration to help animals in real life.

Photo of the Week: New Prosperity in Nicaragua
January 25, 2013
Fatima del Rosario Estrada takes a moment to play with her granddaughter.
Fatima del Rosario Estrada takes a moment to play with her granddaughter as she roasts a pile of rice husks in her backyard in order to produce compost. Fatima makes the compost for the Tomatoya-Chagüite Grande cooperative in northern Nicaragua. She can roast as many as 240 bags in a month, earning $1 per bag. The extra income helps her buy clothing, shoes and better food for her family.
"We used to eat just beans and cheese," Fatima says. "Now we also have pasta, rice, meat, chicken and vegetables."
With TechnoServe's assistance, vegetable farmers in the communities of Tomatoya and Chagüite Grande have turned their cooperative into a successful business that is creating new prosperity for families. Learn more about our work with the cooperative.
