Genetic testing could be completed in as little as a few days, according to Howard Coleman, CEO of Genelex, a Seattle-based commercial genetics lab, which is not involved with the Texas case. It could take several weeks longer, however, to construct a family tree from the results. Once they are traced, however, the children's origins may offer a fascinating look at the family structure of the secretive polygamist sect, as well as insight into the emergence of a tragic birth defect that has plagued the community...
...designated box from which anyone could add or take clothes that would then be donated to the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter. The last activity of the night was a “mug-rack painting,” where students contributed their personal design to a new mug-tree for the Lowell dining hall. The HoCo-sponsored event was part of Lowell House’s Eco Month activities, which also include an “eco trivia night” and an “eco dinner,” according to Lowell HoCo Co-Chair Amanda K. Fields...

Dining in the heart of Napa Valley, eating fine fare prepared by CIA chefs in perfect 75-degree weather, the latter seemed likely. The HMS-CIA union made sense in the palm tree-lined, perfectly manicured estate (read: castle) of the former Christian Brothers Winery. But take the philosophy home; bring it back to Bell Buckle, Tennessee or Garfield, Arkansas. How well does nutritional advice hold up in the face of a deep-fried Twinkie or country-fried steak?
