As our regular readers will know, WAN's News Review regularly brings details of headline news with the top names in architecture and cutting-edge projects of international interest. Since this is the season of goodwill, we thought for the last issue of the year we would bring you a round-up of the best projects of 2012 from non-profit organisations who are making a real difference to the lives of those in need across the globe.
Building Trust International
Back in January this year, we led our News Review with a truly admirable scheme by young non-profit Building Trust International (BTI). The charity offers necessary design services to communities in need across the world and this year saw the development of a new school in Mae Sot, Burma. BTI hosted a design competition to conceptualise a long-term solution for a community displaced by political instability. The design needed to be extremely flexible with the ability to be flat-packed and relocated leaving no trace on site 'while bestowing on its users a sense of permanence when in its fully constructed form'.
The international contest was won by architects Amadeo Bennetta and Daniel LaRossa from Berkeley, California, whose dynamic bamboo-clad concept triumphed over scores of inventive entries. This creative submission incorporates a prefabricated, adaptable framework and heavy-duty, waterproof fabric with a series of bamboo panels, utilising local craftsmanship to enhance the sustainability of the scheme. The design is astonishingly flexible as its flat-pack form can be erected in any location as a courtyard school, single building or independent units, which vastly widens the scope of the community to relocate elsewhere.
During 2012, the winning submission was realised with local apprentices from Youth Connect and BTI will be returning to Mae Sot in the New Year to see the building in action. As with any charity venture, Building Trust International relies on donations to realise these vital projects and this month an anonymous benefactor has agreed to donate £1 for every new 'like' on the charity's Facebook page. Click here to 'like' the page and make your contribution to this fantastic organisation.
Habitat for Humanity
This international organisation works tirelessly with communities in over 80 countries to champion adequate housing as a human right. A Christian movement, this non-profit acts in partnership with those living on the streets or in unsafe housing to transform lives through the provision of secure homes, usually realised through construction projects where professionals educate local people in new trades and support them in building their own houses.
One of Habitat for Humanity's latest schemes is in Oradea, Romania where 40 volunteers from Northern Ireland joined hundreds of local volunteers to construct 6 homes in 7 days. This swift construction project was held on World Habitat Day with Habitat for Humanity working alongside a number of partner companies to also realise 5 more homes and complete an additional 2 in Preajba, providing 14 families with permanent safe housing.
Fusion Architecture
The Weweso Community School Project in Ghana is an ongoing scheme by Fusion Architecture (FA). The existing secondary school in Kumasi is grossly overcrowded as the intake of students grows year on year, resulting in classes of 70 students in rooms of only 700 sq ft.
With more than 870 students in 12 rooms, the school was forced to hold lessons in an open shed or cramped conditions leading to ineffective teaching methods. There is also a need for shelter as the open shed is unsuitable in a region where rainfall is experienced all year round.
Fusion Architecture have designed a flexible new education building as you can see in the images to the left and any donations to this much-needed project are welcome. Construction of the new facility is currently on site.
Article 25
2012 has been a busy year for Article 25, with a series of design/build schemes and creative fundraising events. WAN attended the official launch of the organisation's 10x10 fundraiser in October where 100 artists, sculptors and architects were invited to sketch, paint or otherwise manufacture an artwork of an area of London's West End. In auctioning off the finished pieces, the scheme raised an incredible £80,000 for Article 25's 2013 ventures.
Also on the agenda this year was the Vocational Training Centre in Uganda for former child soldiers and abductees. Working in collaboration with Jubilee Action, Henning Stummel Architects, Michael Hadi Engineers and Max Fordham, Article 25 designed and delivered this life-changing centre for youths in Uganda and celebrated with an official opening in late November. Building work began in summer 2011 and enrolment is currently underway, enabling former child soldiers and abductees to catch up on missed literacy classes with a crèche and nursery facilities available to young mothers. The next stage of the project will be the creation of sun shades at the Vocational Training Centre using part of the wrap from the London 2012 Olympic Stadium in partnership with Dow.
Architecture Sans Frontiers International
Architecture Sans Frontiers International (ASF) is a non-hierarchical network of non-profit organisations which looks to combat urban issues through architecture and construction, as well as conservation of historical heritages to Human Development.
The ECONEF Children's Center in Tanzania is soon to provide a safe residential environment for orphans in Jua-kali, realised through private donations to ASF. In total, the scheme will provide homes from 30 children with education facilities in sun-dried mud brick houses with corrugated metal roofs. Sustainability will play a key role with rainwater harvesting, solar panels and natural ventilation integrated throughout.
Architecture Sans Frontiers International explains: "The aim of the new ECONEF Children's Centre is to reduce the orphanage's dependence on private donations and eventually reach a self-sufficient standing. Management expenses can be reduced by adopting influences from the local building tradition, by using low cost and low maintenance construction solutions and by integrating green technology in the architectural design concept. The centre will produce its own electricity through the installation of solar panels. Low technology systems for rainwater harvesting and natural ventilation will be integrated in the buildings. Income can be generated by integrating cultivation of food crops and animal husbandry."
Architecture for Humanity
Kimisagara Football for Hope Centre by global charitable organisation Architecture for Humanity and Killian Doherty | Architectural Practice was officially inaugurated on 4 October by the Rwandan Minister of Sports and Culture, Mitali Protaiswith. The centre is run by the local Organization Esperance with a mission to support reconciliation and rehabilitation in Rwanda. The Esperance centre offers opportunities to roughly 200 children in suburban areas. Through programs and courses that strengthen life skills, such as theatre and sport, Esperance is promoting social inclusion as well as physical and psychological healing for all of its participants.
The Centre is located within the heart of the Kimisagara valley; the most densely populated, disadvantaged area in central Kigali with few opportunities for young people and alarming school dropout rates. The site, located within a local primary school's ground (ecole primaire de Kimisgara) is situated adjacent to a re-engineered water course (canal) and seasonal wetland prone to flooding. The design includes a half sized football pitch and community centre with changing rooms, educational spaces and a multi-functional gathering space. The optimised orientation of the pitch (N/S) along with a desire to define and differentiate play spaces for the existing school, and a desire to activate the pedestrian way along the water course lead to the dynamic plan form of the project.
The team at Architecture for Humanity have detailed their favourite architecture projects as part of WAN's Reader Reviews feature in this week's News Review. Click here to read their submission.

The NHL on Saturday fined Detroit Red Wings VP Jimmy Devellano a reported $250,000 for comments he made about the collective-bargaining agreement and the Flyers earlier this week.
In an interview with Island Sports News that was posted on Puck Daddy (yahoo!), Devellano ripped the Flyers for giving a 14-year, $110 million offer sheet to RFA Shea Weber this summer.
"The Detroit Red Wings' organization and the league agree that the
comments made by Mr. Devellano are neither appropriate, nor authorized, nor
permissible under the league's bylaws," said Bill Daly, the NHL's deputy commissioner. "Such comments are neither constructive nor helpful to the
In the interview Devellano said, "There is a hard cap in place as we all know. You can't go over that....period. If Weber gets this much, then another player gets less. Now does that mean it's right for another team to do that? My answer is this: They (the Flyers) operated within the CBA and it's totally legit to do. Having said that, I will tell you there is an unwritten rule that you don't do that, but they did, and just like everything else in life, some people are great to deal with, some aren't. If you are asking me if it's right, I would say there is, again, an unwritten rule...we all know it in the NHL, but not everyone follows it."
Added Devellano: "Each owner / team has a decision as to how they want to pay their players, as long as they are under the cap. Now Donald Fehr (the NHLPA executive director) would have you believe by getting rid of the cap, the owners would make more money and that the sky is the limit, but trust me, the owners would lose their asses. We've tried that. It doesn't work. There is just too much cost involved in running and owning a team.
"It's very complicated and way too much for the average Joe to understand, but having said that, I will tell you this: The owners can basically be viewed as the Ranch, and the players, and me included, are the cattle. The owners own the Ranch and allow the players to eat there. That's the way its always been and that the way it will be forever. And the owners simply aren't going to let a union push them around. It's not going to happen."
Another day in the NHL lockout, another day without negotiations.
"It's been pretty quiet, so there's been nothing to communicate" to his teammates, defenseman Braydon Coburn, the Flyers' player representative, said in a phone conversation from his home in Calgary on Friday.
Representatives for the league and the players are battling over many issues, including how to divide hockey-related revenue (HRR). The owners have proposed giving the players 49 percent of the HRR in the first year, 48 percent in the second year, and 47 percent in the third through sixth years.
The players are asking for about 53 or 54 percent of the pie; they got 57 percent in the last collective-bargaining agreement.
Coburn said he met Thursday in Calgary with former NHL player Steve Webb, who is the Atlantic Division representative for the players' association. According to Coburn, Webb said the players' association wants to talk with the league about other collective-bargaining agreement issues _ such as ice conditions, players' safety, contract lengths and free-agency changes _ but the owners want to first solve the HRR dispute.
The league "isn't interested in negotiating until we get the numbers down on" the HRR issue, Coburn said Webb told him.
Coburn has been working out in Calgary with several NHL players, including the Flames' Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester.
"It's a good group of guys, but it doesn't replace playing," Coburn said.
The Flyers' training camp was scheduled to open Saturday at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. The start of NHL camps has been canceled, along with several exhibition games.
Players assigned to the Adirondack Phantoms, the Flyers' AHL affiliate, will report to the Voorhees rink on Friday for the start of that camp. That group will include the Flyers' Sean Couturier, Brayden Schenn, Zac Rinaldo, Erik Gustafsson and Eric Wellwood.
More labor pains. The NHL players' union was in Edmonton on Friday, trying to get the Alberta Labor Relations Board to declare the lockout illegal for the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers.
Last week, players from the Montreal Canadiens presented a similar case in Quebec, and the labor relations board there turned down their request for a temporary injunction against the lockout.
Another option. A judge ruled Friday that the Swedish Elite League cannot ban NHL players.
As of now, no Flyers are planning to play in Sweden, but that could change.
Three Flyers are playing in Russia's KHL _ Ilya Bryzgalov, Jake Voracek and Ruslan Fedotenko.

No. absum. Better abero. Absum is a verb just like sum.

Adsum + Abl:
Adsum officina ero adusque Diem Iovis ante diem VIII idum november MMIII. Si auxilium requiritis, oro ut ad II-V-VI V-I-II I-0-II-IV Manderley vocetis.

Ablative for time when (on the eighth day), accusative for time how long (for eight days).
Quote from: Skylax on Today at 02:15:54am
- The latin said ANTE DIEM OCTAVUM IDUS NOVEMBRES, what is not logical, instead of DIE OCTAVO ANTE IDUS NOVEMBRES

Are you saying that the phrase should be ABL (die octavo) instead of ACC (diem octavum)? Why?

Unit 7 (pg. 116)
Is this subtle difference covered later on in M&F?


text: Gridley brought home the Junior League California District 47 All-Star Championship banner after cruising past Lake Oroville by a score of 10-0 in the championship match of the tournament on Monday. Gridley opened the tournament with a 15-5 victory over Palermo in Willows on June 29. In that game, Brian Wilkerson was awarded the Todd Hunter Stewart award. The recipient of the Todd Stewart award, or the "Respect the Game" award, is selected by the game's official score keepers and given to a player on each team who best represents what the true spirit of Little League is all about. Gridley followed that win by playing Lake Oroville. Gridley took the game, 12-0, after ten-running Lake Oroville. Jace Villapania was awarded the Todd Stewart award in that game. Gridley faced off against Lake Oroville for a second time in the tournament championship on Monday after Lake Oroville pulled out a victory over Willows on Saturday. The fate of Lake Oroville wasn't much different, as Gridley again shut them out. Gridley took home the District 47 Championship banner after winning the championship game over Lake Oroville, 10-0. Gridley now advances to Section 2 tournament play, and will start that campaign by playing Feather River (Portola) on Saturday at 6:00 PM in Quincy. Gridley Junior All-Stars include Brian Wilkerson, Colby Pantaleoni, Frank Leyva, Ty Cota, Ernesto Caudillo, Austin Knipe, Kaleb Gill, Jared Kopp, Sammy Cota, Tyler Woolery, and Jace Villapania. The team manager is Art Cota, and the coaches are Jason Kopp and Gary Knipe.

Interest in plant-based diets has been growing, in part because of documentaries like Forks over Knives, the book The China Study, and even endorsement by President Clinton.
Interest in plant-based diets has been growing, in part because of documentaries like Forks over Knives, the book The China Study, and even endorsement by President Clinton. The latest diet survey for Americans show that we are eating triple the recommended amount of fat and added sugars, while just 15 percent of us are getting the recommended servings of whole grains, and only 59 percent eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day. This means we are missing out on important nutrients, like potassium, calcium, vitamin D and fiber, while eating too many calories.
Why is a plant-based diet recommended? Studies show that people who consume a mostly plant based diet can benefit from lowered LDL "bad" cholesterol levels, lower triglycerides, lower blood pressure, lower CRP (a marker of inflammation and disease risk), lower BMI (weight), decreased risk of death, improved blood glucose, and possible regression of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
All plant foods have fiber, which is needed for healthy digestion, constipation prevention and a healthy heart. Americans average about 15 grams of fiber in their daily diet; it's recommended that we get 25 grams to 35 grams every day. Plant foods are nutrient-dense, meaning they provide a lot of nutrition in few calories. For example, an apple has about 80 calories and provides fiber, vitamin C, potassium, vitamin A, folate, calcium, and iron. By comparison, a donut gives you 200+ calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar.
Plants provide essential vitamins and minerals that have been shown to help prevent disease and decrease the risks of diabetes, heart attack, stroke and cancer. Antioxidants, which are necessary to fight off chronic disease, are unique to plants. Some plants, like nuts and avocados, do have fat, but it is a heart healthy kind of fat that our bodies need. In addition, there is something to be said for improving environmental health by choosing more plants, instead of animals.
However, there is some disagreement on what should be included or excluded on a plant-based diet. Dr. Dean Ornish, founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, believes a plant based diet can include some lean meats, egg whites and skim milk. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, director of the cardiovascular prevention and reversal program at Cleveland Clinic, and Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, recommend no animal products at all, along with no soy and no nuts. Then there are those that eat only raw plants (nothing cooked above 118 degrees), or those that allow dairy or eggs but no other animal products.
I think the best approach is a whole foods, plant-based, low-fat diet that encourages plants in their whole form; lots of fruits and vegetables; whole grains; inclusion of beans, nuts, and seeds; and limited animal fat from dairy and meats. Remember that following a plant-based diet won't be beneficial if you do not cut back on highly processed foods containing sodium, added sugars and fats.
The concern people often have when starting a plant-based diet is that they won't be getting enough protein or iron. It is extremely unlikely that you would become deficient in protein. We are used to eating more protein than we need from animal sources. There are plenty of plant sources of protein and iron, including beans, nuts, seeds and quinoa. A vegetarian diet is appropriate for anyone older than 2 years of age.
Ready to start? Following are some suggestions for increasing the plants in your diet.
Use your plate to guide you. Reserve half of your plate for fruits and vegetables; one fourth for a whole-grain pasta or bread, brown rice, potato or other carbohydrate; and one fourth for protein-meat, fish, poultry, egg or beans.
Try going meatless just one day a week, or even just one meal a week, to start with. Meatless Mondays is a campaign started by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to improve personal health and the health of the planet. The movement is gaining in popularity with more and more restaurants and schools participating. Visit meatlessmonday.com for more ideas.
Reduce your portion sizes of meat and choose lean meats. Make a stir-fry with lots of vegetables and just a little meat. Use half as much hamburger in things like spaghetti, and replace the other half with mushrooms.
Think rainbow. Eating six apples a day doesn't cut it. Eat a variety of colors of fruits and vegetables to reap the most benefits. Different fruits and vegetables provide different essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Be creative. Instead of jelly on that peanut butter sandwich, try applesauce. Throw some berries or orange slices in with your green salad. Use mashed avocado as a sandwich spread, instead of mayonnaise. Add some fruit to your bowl of cereal. Puree beans for a quick bean dip, instead of a sour cream based dip. Add some nuts to your salad, cereal or yogurt. Make a trail mix of nuts, dried fruit and whole-grain cereal. Use nut butters as a spread on fruits. Add beans to your salad or soup. Snack on popcorn, instead of chips. Next time you buy pasta or bread, try a whole-grain variety.
Little changes can make a big difference in your health. Get started today!

Warning on social media snooping
The Government's surveillance watchdog has warned public officials against setting up false identities on social media for covert investigations.
The Office of Surveillance Commissioners said public authorities may be unlawfully using the likes of Facebook and Twitter for their inquiries as they are not seeking proper authorisation.
A number of public authorities have run awareness campaigns with amnesty periods for any unauthorised activity, such as when officers have created false personae to disguise their online activities, the Office said in its annual report.
Public authorities may be unlawfully using the likes of Twitter for their inquiries as they are not seeking proper authorisation, a watchdog says
Chief Surveillance Commissioner Sir Christopher Rose said: "In cash-strapped public authorities, it might be tempting to conduct online i nvestigations from a desktop, as this saves time and money, and often provides far more detail about someone's personal lifestyle, employment, associates, etc.
"But just because one can, does not mean one should.
"The same considerations of privacy, and especially collateral intrusion against innocent parties, must be applied regardless of the technological advances."
Using social networks for investigations may require authorisation under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa).
Sir Christopher said many local authorities and government departments have yet to recognise the potential for inadvertent or inappropriate use of such sites.
He said: "While many have warned their staff of the dangers of using social media from the perspective of personal security and to avoid any corporate damage, the potential need for a Ripa authorisation has not been so readily explained."
Elsewhere in the report, Sir Christopher raises concerns about the supervision of undercover police officers.
Officers who are supposed to oversee the activities of undercover operatives and report to the senior authorising officer have been found to actually be part of the wider operation team they are supposed to be holding to account.
In addition, Sir Christopher found risk assessments of undercover officers were "too formulaic", while others in long-running operations were subject to "cut and paste" reviews.
Turning to disclosures made by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, which sparked an international debate about the extent of surveillance powers, Sir Christopher said it was not his "responsibility to give a view upon how much or how little use is made of the tactics that I oversee".
However, he later added: "It is also highly unlikely, given the robust processes and internal scrutiny in place within public authorities, let alone ever-tightened resources, that, save in very rare circumstances, unauthorised activity has occurred."
In addition, the Commissioner said he was "satisfied that the public has no cause for any general concern".
Property interference authorisations, such as installing an eavesdropping device in a car, for law enforcement and public authorities increased by 249 to 2,689 in the year 2013/2014, the report said.
Intrusive surveillance authorisations, such as that in a private home, increased from 362 to 392 in the same period.
Authorisations for direct surveillance by law enforcement agencies, that is covert but not intrusive surveillance used to obtain information about a person, were up from 9,515 to 9,664.
But direct surveillance by public authorities fell to 4,412 authorisations from 5,827. The vast majority of these authorisations related to the Department for Work and Pensions spying on potential benefit cheats.
There were 3,025 undercover sources - also known as covert human intelligence sources - authorised for use by law enforcement at the end of March this year, compared to 2,816 the previous year.
Covert human intelligence sources within other public authorities remained flat at 53.
Law enforcement agencies reported 79 irregularities during the period covered by this report, while other public authorities reported four, a total of 83. This compares to 99 reports in 2012-13.
Sir Christopher said this could be matters such as installation of surveillance equipment without a valid authorisation, overdue switching off of a recording device after cancellation of the authorisation and inadvertent trespass where one police force boundary meets another.
A written ministerial statement from Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The report from the Chief Surveillance Commissioner shows that in the vast majority of cases covert techniques are being used effectively, when it is necessary and proportionate to do so.
"The report notes a small number of errors reported to the Commissioner. The number represents a tiny proportion of the total number of authorisations, and a decrease on the previous year. The Chief Commissioner found nothing to suggest wilful misconduct."
Emma Carr, director of Big Brother Watch, said: "While long overdue, the Office of Surveillance Commissioners is absolutely right to acknowledge that many public authorities around the country may well be covertly gathering intelligence from social media sites illegally.
"RIPA was created while Google was still in its infancy and social media sites like Facebook and Twitter did not yet exist.
"It would therefore be ridiculous to expect that the legislation would allow the use of the internet to proportionately investigate crimes, while ensuring that safeguards are in place to protect the public's privacy.
"A far more open discussion about what data should be monitored, as well as whether the legal framework is truly fit for the digital age, is required."

Investigators concluded their search of the home of Mark Redwine, father of 13-year-old Dylan Redwine, Thursday night after serving a search warrant in the morning.
Mark Redwine also agreed to give an official interview to the task force for the case made up of agents from the La Plata County Sheriffs Office, Durango Police Department, Bayfield Marshals Office, FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation after investigators asked if he would be willing to do an in-depth interview, said Lt. Ray Shupe, spokesman for the task force.
Redwine has given several cursory interviews in the past, but this was the first in-depth interview he has given, Shupe said.
No attorney was present for the interview, and Shupe said Redwine has not retained an attorney.
Redwine has been cooperating with authorities and has not been named a suspect or person of interest, Shupe said.
Authorities say they will not release any information about the interview or what was, or was not, taken from the residence.
The task force concluded its door-to-door canvassing that began Tuesday and has shifted its focus to following up on leads and evidence.
Until we put together any leads or information that leads us in a certain direction, most work is going to take place internally, Shupe said.
Volunteers can resume searching the area surrounding Vallecito Reservoir. Authorities earlier this week requested that they stay away for a few days while investigators canvassed the area.
Some volunteers have gone back into the area to search side roads and check any buildings they were not able to get to before authorities requested they stop, local resident Denise Hess said.
A group of people is making ribbons to sell to raise money for a fund to find Dylan, Hess said. The ribbons are blue and black with some white in them Dylans favorite colors. The group has not started selling them and is still deciding how much to sell them for.
Law-enforcement officials have ruled out that Dylan ran away from home.
He was last seen Nov. 19. Authorities also have ruled out the possibility that the teenager wandered into the wilderness and got lost around Vallecito Reservoir.
Task force members are looking at this investigation as a criminal investigation, Shupe said in a news release.
Authorities are still requesting any video footage or photos that show vehicles along the typical routes between Vallecito and Durango from 6 p.m. Nov. 18 to noon Nov. 19. The county dispatch center may be contacted at 385-2900.
A telephone tip line has been set up: 382-7511. Calls also can be made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678.
The footage already received is being analyzed for clues.
Dylan disappeared Nov. 19 while visiting his father during Thanksgiving week as a result of a court order from 6th Judicial District Judge David Dickinson.
Dylan moved to Colorado Springs this summer with his brother, Cory, and mother, Elaine Redwine, who divorced Mark Redwine in 2007.
Elaine Redwine said Dylan texted her when he arrived Nov. 18 at the Durango-La Plata County Airport.
The teenager contacted friends in Bayfield and agreed to meet them in the early morning Nov. 19, but the meeting never took place.
Mark Redwine told investigators that he left the house to do errands at 7:30 a.m. but found Dylan gone when he returned at 11:30 a.m.
He told The Durango Herald on Wednesday he had gone to Durango to meet with his divorce lawyer.

Milestones are piling up so high that they sometimes block my view of everything going on around me.
A year isn't what it once was.
It used to seem like a year was a long time. But now the days pass much more quickly and milestones are piling up so high that they sometimes block my view of everything going on around me.
A year ago I got a call from my brother early on a Sunday morning.
I was home visiting my father whose health was failing. I was getting ready to go feed dad his breakfast and spend a little more time with him before heading back to Kansas for work.
We had only arrived hours before. The boys played soccer Saturday morning and we debated whether or not to head back to Chickasha considering it would be late afternoon when we arrived and we would have to be home less than a day later.
Finally I decided I didn't know how many more chances we would have to see him so we hit the road.
I'm so glad we did.
I spent the afternoon with my brother and my dad. When Kenyon left, I stayed with dad and watched an Oklahoma Sooners game with him until he fell asleep.
I was used to dad sleeping through parts of games. I can't count the number of times he would doze off with his hand on the remote control only to spring to life when anyone tried to slide it out of his grip.
But this sleep was different.
A strange condition called Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease had silently crept in and destroyed his brain to the point where light coming into his room through a window made him think his room was on fire. His body was completely stilled except for very limited movement in his right hand.
The symptoms had only begun to reveal the condition about a month before. At first, doctors thought he had a stroke. When strokes and every other condition were ruled out, CJD became the diagnosis.
Dad was sent back to a nursing home in Chickasha where doctors expected him to live 3-6 months.
I miss him so much, but I'm glad he isn't here anymore.
The shell of a man who couldn't eat, couldn't move and could barely speak wasn't my father. He would never have wanted to live that way.
Dad was a 75-year old who would ride on a tube behind a boat with his grandkids. He mowed lawns, cleaned buildings and took care of his Sunday School class at church.
He had been in the nursing home since Thursday. My brother called me on Sunday morning. I had to tell mom that dad was gone. Dad's life was over.
We were sad to have lost him, but so glad he didn't have to suffer any more.
I was also thankful to have been given a warning shot that his life was ending. Normally, we don't make it home very often. But after visiting on Labor Day, we knew his condition was serious. A wedding brought us back another weekend and as dad's clock wound down, we knew not to waste opportunities to see him.
I am also thankful that he got to wrap things up before he died. Many people have death come quickly and unexpectedly. But dad had the chance to tell my mother that he enjoyed every day of their 55 years together and how much she and his family helped him enjoy his life.
We all have the opportunity to share that thought every day. But dad could see the finish line and he didn't want to leave that thought unspoken.
Dad spoke about how his life was enriched. But what is notable in his absence is how much he enriched the lives of those he knew.
Our family has been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time together since dad died. Almost every activity leaves us thinking how much we wish he could have been here to see it.
But thanks to how he lived, the time we spent together and our shared lives will keep him alive in our memories forever.
It has been hard all year to deal with dad being gone. The grief has gone deeper beneath the surface but it hasn't gone away.
I don't know that it ever will. But I don't mind the grief so much.
Every moment of sadness is tied to a happy memory that brings lightness to the darker emotions.

DEKALB - Jordan Lynch has gotten used to doing things no one had ever done before.
Twice, he set NCAA single-game rushing records for a quarterback. Twice, he set NCAA single-season rushing records for a QB. He finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, one spot better than Randy Moss in 1997 for the highest finish by a player from the Mid-American Conference.
Lynch didn't quite stand alone Tuesday. But maybe that made it even better. Lynch joined two other Northern Illinois greats by being named All-American by The Associated Press.
Lynch joined 1993 NCAA rushing leader LeShon Johnson as the only Huskie to be named AP first-team All-American. Lynch, who was picked in the all-purpose category, also joined teammate Jimmie Ward on this year's team. Ward was named third-team at safety.
"Being the first one in 20 years is a true honor," Lynch said. "It shows the respect people have for me around the country. It's awesome."
Ward is the first NIU defensive player to ever make an AP All-American team. And Lynch thought Ward, who was named first-team by USA Today and SI.com, deserved even more respect from The AP.
"Honestly, he should be first team," Lynch said. "But third team, that's a great honor. Jimmie being nominated for all these great awards, people are really checking out his talent and respecting his game. Which they should.
"He's an all-around player. He really took over the leadership role of our defense as a senior. He's a ball-hawk out there. There is nothing Jimmie Ward can't do."
Ward led the Huskies (12-1) in tackles (89) interceptions (six) and passes defended (14). His six interceptions ranked 13th in the nation.
"He is a first-team All-American in my book," coach Rod Carey said.
Lynch was second-team all-purpose last year and moved up to first-team as a senior.
"All-purpose? Hey, listen, he can do everything," Carey said. "I won't disagree with that either."
With the Dec. 26 Poinsettia Bowl against Utah State still to play, Lynch has rushed for 1,881 yards and 22 touchdowns, passed for 2,676 yards and 23 touchdowns and caught one pass for a 17-yard touchdown. He is the fifth player in NCAA history with 20 TDs both rushing and passing.
Ward has always been a star at NIU. He blocked a school-record three punts as a true freshman. He was second-team All-MAC as a sophomore and first-team as a junior.
As a senior, he was even better for No. 24-ranked NIU. And he showed it from the very start, intercepting a late pass in the season-opener against Iowa to set up NIU's game-winning field goal with four seconds left.
"Coaches always tell me to finish the fight," Ward said. "That gave me a hard edge. The Iowa game for instance. We finished. I never had that closing type of game before."
Ward also helped his young defensive teammates.
"I was a good player since I was a freshman, but I was still young," he said. "People were like, you play, so you've got to take ownership and leadership. That's what Coach Carey told me to do. To step up. Something clicked in me finally my senior year.
Helping others helped Ward.
"When you teach it, it means you know it better too, and you play better," Carey said.
"It helped me become a better man," Ward said, "not just in football, but overall in life. When you are helping other people, you learn so much.
"And I like bringing up other players. It's not about you. It's never about you. It's always a team sport."
SI.com also named junior receiver Tommylee Lewis honorable mention as an all-purpose player. Lewis had 80 catches for 660 yards, ran for 356 yards and returned 11 kickoffs for 312 yards, including a 99-yard TD return against Purdue.
No. 1 Florida State dominated The AP All-American team. Heisman winner Jameis Winston was first-team quarterback. Last year's Heisman winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M was second team and Alabama's A.J. McCarron was third team for a second time. Florida State center Bryan Stork, cornerback Lamarcus Joyner and kicker Roberto Aguayo were also named first team, while defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan and offensive tackle Cameron Erving made second team.
Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey and Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton were repeat first-team choices.
The ACC, SEC and Pac-12 each had six first-team choices.
Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier and Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard were the only first-team picks from the Big Ten.
