Globetrotting jocks pack smart, stick to routines
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Updated 13th November 2012
View Gallery
8 Pictures
Traveling to Rio de Janeiro for a two-day tournament last year, professional golfer Amanda Blumenherst couldn't catch a break.
The Arizona-based golfer's flight to Dallas was detoured to San Antonio because of bad weather. Blumenherst, who joined the Ladies Professional Golf Association in 2010, slept in San Antonio and flew on to Dallas the next day. That day, a seven-hour delay for her flight to Rio turned into a cancellation and another night in a hotel.
Two hours into the Rio flight the following day, "there was a medical emergency and we had to turn around," she said in an e-mail. "The plane was too heavy from the fuel that wasn't used and 'broke' the wheels, canceling that flight."
When the next flight finally reached Brazil, it had to land in another city and wait for bad weather to clear in Rio. Blumenherst's flight did finally arrive -- just 72 hours after starting the trip. And that's just one tournament in her 30-week-a-year travel schedule.
Hotels ready for the end of the world
The professional athlete's life seems so glamorous and full of jet-set travel. And for professional athletes whose teams rent chartered planes, book fine hotels and take care of transporting their luggage, it may be.
Not so much for the rest of the professionals who play sports for a living. Some travel relentlessly hoping to break through to achieve even more. Others are happy for another season in a country far from home, playing the sport they love.
These road warriors have their travel routines figured out and know what they need to make it through another trip.
Light luggage for water polo
Professional water polo player
Tony Azevedo
, who serves as captain of the men's U.S. National Water Polo Team and has competed in four Olympics, travels more than 90 days a year.
Azevedo plays for a Croatian team during the professional water polo season (from August through May), flying commercial all over Europe. During the summer, he trains with Team USA and travels around the world for tournaments.
"The only equipment we need to take are caps, and the team usually takes these (or gives them to the youngest team members to transport)," he wrote in an e-mail from the road. "We are all in charge of bringing our own robes, sandals, suits and any other gear we need."
"I wear my Intelliskin shirt and pants to help with posture and circulation, and then any team gear that I have chosen for the trip (as captain)," writes Azevedo, who doesn't check his baggage. He also makes sure to bring his fully loaded iPad, headphones and a neck pillow.
4 must-sees for military buffs
A little extra for a professional basketball player -- and mom
Professional WNBA basketball player
Candace Parker
, who plays for the Los Angeles Sparks during the summer, doesn't have to pack any basketball uniforms or equipment. That's handled by the team. But she does have to pack a little bit extra. The WNBA requires that the players dress "business casual" after the game. And her daughter, 3, also comes on trips and requires her sippy cups and a bag of toys.
When Parker plays in the United States, which is usually May until October, she travels for about half of the five-month season. The other half of the year she plays professionally in Europe.
On either side of the Atlantic, her most crucial items are her iPad and the sippy cup and coloring gear for her daughter. In the U.S., she also knows she can pick up any toiletries she might have forgotten to pack. But in Europe, she's more careful about packing cosmetics and other items she might not find in the smaller cities on her away schedule.
"I pack a lot, and my husband (former Brooklyn Nets player
Shelden Williams
, who now plays for French team Elan Chalon) tells me that I overpack," she says. "He tends to travel lighter, but he forgets things."
A runner with a laundry regimen
Runner's World editor Bart Yasso has learned the art of minimalist packing, traveling for running events more than 40 weekends out of each year. If he has to bring nice clothes, he'll wear those on the plane. (He also wants to look nice if he gets upgraded.) And he prefers to pack lightly and use a backpack, so he can literally run to make any tight connections.
If he's going to run four times on a trip, Yasso will pack one pair of broken-in running shoes and three running kits. He can't sleep on planes, so he'll work if there's a Wi-Fi connection, watch movies and eat a light meal.
Key to his travel enjoyment is adjusting immediately to the local time.
"When I get in, I eat the meal that makes the most sense, adjust and get on that time line immediately," he says. "I don't want to know what time it is back home. You want to live in the time zone you're in. Get the most sleep you can (at night) to feel the best you can."
Preferring not to have a stinky bag of sweaty clothes when he gets home, he always washes his running gear in his hotel sink before repacking his gear.
A golfer with particular tastes
Professional golfer Blumenherst doesn't have to pack golf balls, gloves, hats and golf shoes. Nike, her sponsor, delivers that gear to each tournament in advance.
"I have to pack everything else: golf clothes, pro-am party dresses, workout gear, clubs, practice tools, etc.," she wrote in an e-mail. Her gear adds up: One golf club travel bag, one large suitcase, one carry on and a duffel bag.
For good luck, she brings a bag of hair ribbons to match her outfits each day. "They have to match."
Another key ingredient in her routine is reduced-fat peanut butter, which is hard to find outside the United States. "I do not leave for a tournament without a jar." With her peanut butter, plus bread and bananas she buys on the road, she's set with her go-to food of choice.
Once aboard, "I try to sleep as much as possible, drink a lot of water and stretch on the plane," she said. "This helps time pass and also helps me adjust to the time, making jet lag much better."

Much of the West continues to struggle with unusually dry conditions, raising the prospect of another year of wildfires, stunted crops and unnavigable stretches of river in various parts of the country, according to a federal assessment.
More than two-thirds of the country is under abnormally dry to exceptional drought conditions, "which, although serious, is a slight improvement since fall 2012," said the National Drought Early Warning Outlook.
While the report said the drought was over in most of the nation east of the Mississippi River, the portion of the country still facing drought — most of the West and Florida — should expect it "to persist or intensify."
"The 2012-2013 drought has serious implications for agriculture, navigation, recreation and municipal water supplies, costing the nation at least $35 billion in economic losses," said the outlook, which was developed by a federal interagency group and issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

It is on this site, fortified by Vauban and today classified as a historical monument, that the new library of 1,500 m2 was constructed. The solution In order to blend the interior equipment with the design of the building, the architects opened a call for tenders to equip the reading and storage rooms with metal library shelving. The customer particularly appreciated the many accessories proposed: infill panels, periodical boxes, solid panels, suspended dividers,etc. The Sysco® Library shelving in the reading hall was equipped with direct lighting to create a peaceful and pleasant space.

NL Capsules
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Adams homered, Matt Carpenter drove in two runs and Adam Wainwright saved a tired bullpen by lasting seven innings for the St. Louis Cardinals in their 10-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
It was hardly a vintage performance by Wainwright (2-1), who struck out eight and helped his own cause with an RBI single. He gave up Junior Lake's homer on his first pitch and allowed six more hits after that. The four runs were twice as many as Wainwright yielded in his first two starts.
St. Louis did most of its damage off starter Carlos Villanueva (1-3), who allowed nine runs and 10 hits in three innings.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Carlos Gomez hit a leadoff homer, Jonathan Lucroy drove in the tiebreaking run with an eighth-inning single and Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh for its eighth consecutive victory.
Gomez got the Brewers (9-2) started with a 432-foot drive to center field off Edinson Volquez, and Khris Davis scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-0 in the second.
Pittsburgh tied it in the third on Starling Marte's groundout and Travis Snider's single, snapping Yovani Gallardo's scoreless streak to start the season at 14 2-3 innings.
Lucroy singled to right off reliever Mark Melancon (0-1) to drive in Ryan Braun, who slid in ahead of the throw to the plate. Jim Henderson (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning and Francisco Rodriguez got his fourth save in four attempts.
ATLANTA (AP) — Freddie Freeman had three hits, including a homer, and Atlanta beat Washington to continue its early success against the Nationals.
Washington third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is expected to miss four to six weeks after breaking his right thumb when he was picked off second base in the fifth inning. Before the game, the Nationals placed outfielder Denard Span on the seven-day disabled list with a concussion.
B.J. Upton had two hits, including his first homer, and Dan Uggla drove in two runs with two hits for the Braves. Justin Upton had three hits, including two doubles. Evan Gattis also had three hits.
After winning two of three at Washington in the opening week, the Braves have won the first two games of a home series against their NL East rivals.
Alex Wood (2-1) allowed one run and six hits in five innings. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
Washington starter Taylor Jordan (0-1) allowed five runs and 10 hits in five innings. Anthony Rendon homered leading off the game.
PHOENIX (AP) — Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer and Zack Greinke improved to 3-0 as Los Angeles defeated Arizona.
Gonzalez, who had a two-run homer and five RBIs in the series opener Friday, followed that up with a shot to the left-field seats off Wade Miley (2-2) in the third inning.
Greinke (3-0) gave up a run on eight hits in 5 1-3 innings, striking out eight with no walks.
A.J. Pollock had a pinch-hit homer for the Diamondbacks, who scored three in the ninth off Brandon League, two on Mark Trumbo's two-out double. Kenley Jansen came in to earn his third save.
Juan Uribe doubled twice and had a two-run single for Los Angeles.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jimmy Rollins homered with two outs in the 10th inning and Philadelphia overcame two home runs by Giancarlo Stanton to beat Miami.
Rollins drove a 2-2 pitch from Dan Jennings (0-1) into the seats in left. It was the 201st career homer for Rollins, and the second game-ender of his career. The first came June 23, 2010, against Cleveland.
B.J. Rosenberg (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.
Rollins finished with three hits and Chase Utley had two doubles and an RBI for Philadelphia, which has won 12 of 15 against the Marlins. Utley is batting .500 with five doubles and eight RBIs.
Stanton finished with three hits and three RBIs. His first homer, measured at 470 feet, cleared the seats in left-center and landed on Ashburn Alley — a popular outfield concessions spot.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tommy Kahnle and four relievers combined for two-hit ball over six innings after Brett Anderson was injured, leading Colorado past Matt Cain and San Francisco.
Troy Tulowitzki had a sacrifice fly in the third, and Kahnle (2-0) allowed one baserunner in two innings. Matt Belisle, Adam Ottavino, Rex Brothers and LaTroy Hawkins pitched an inning apiece to complete the three-hitter, with Hawkins earning his second save.
Rockies relievers extended their scoreless streak to 9 2-3 innings in the series.
Anderson left with a bruised left index finger after allowing a hit in three innings. It was the Rockies' third win in their last 17 games at San Francisco's waterfront ballpark.
Cain (0-2) allowed four hits over seven innings with eight strikeouts and three walks. He is winless in his last seven starts at home.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Alex Cobb went seven innings to extend Tampa Bay's run of solid starting pitching, and James Loney homered against slumping Cincinnati.
The Rays came into the interleague series with a 1-8 mark against Cincinnati. They've taken the first two games with shutdown pitching and just enough offense.
Cobb (1-1) pitched seven shutout innings against Texas on Sunday but got a no-decision. He kept the scoreless streak going Saturday, limiting Cincinnati's struggling lineup to four hits without walking a batter.
Grant Balfour got three outs for his fourth save, finishing the four-hitter.
Loney led off the second inning with his first homer against Alfredo Simon (1-1), who matched his career high with eight innings and allowed only five hits.
Cincinnati stranded a pair at third base and had runners thrown out at third and home. The Reds have lost all four of their series this season, falling to 3-8 for the first time since 1995, when they won the NL Central.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Justin Verlander had the first two hits of his career and pitched seven strong innings to lead Detroit over San Diego.
Verlander, who came in 0 for 26 with 15 strikeouts, singled up the middle off Ian Kennedy (1-2) in the second inning and had a base hit to right in the fourth, although he had to hustle to avoid being thrown out by Chris Denorfia. Verlander (1-1) scored on Torii Hunter's two-run single in the fourth.
Verlander allowed two runs and eight hits, struck out eight and walked one. Austin Jackson hit a two-run double and Rajai Davis scored three runs.

Cheat Sheet
Baby Signing For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Baby signing builds a bridge between you and your hearing baby or toddler. When baby knows how to sign before he or she can speak, it reduces frustration all around. Teach your child some basic signs for family, animals, mealtimes, and the outside world.
Some Basic Signs to Teach Baby
Babies and toddlers can use some basic signs when you leave them with a caregiver or pick them up, when they learns who's who in a family, and when they want to melt your heart by showing they love you.
Baby Signing for Mealtime
Mealtime signs can prevent frustration for babies and toddlers (and you!) if they know how to express their needs. Baby signing during meals means less cleanup time (no more mushy peas on the walls) and a happier baby.
Five Animals for Baby to Sign
Animals are a big deal for babies, so knowing how to sign animals is important. After all, babies see them in books, on television, as toys, and more.
Baby Signing for the Great Outdoors
Making baby signs for the outdoors is something that a child will do enthusiastically. There's a whole world of learning outside, and babies seem to instinctively know that.

Some Kiwis, it seems, fancy a summer holiday period that better reflects the realities of our climate.
A survey by Tourism Bay of Plenty found almost a quarter of New Zealand adults would support a move to ditch December and move the summer holiday period back by two months. They clocked 24 per cent in voting for a move that would see work and school breaks in February. But the survey also recorded 38 per cent of respondents - let's call them The Decemberists - against the proposition. I think it's a belter of an idea. For a start, there's no way anyone would do any real work in December, so we'd get two bites of the summer cherry: the pseudo-holiday of Christmas and early January, followed by the real thing in February.
The roars of outrage from the Employers, Manufacturers and Slave-Drivers' Association would be lost amid the sound of cicadas and breaking waves on the February beaches.
The real winners would be the kids. The poor little blighters have their summer holidays - which are pretty much the raison d'etre of any Kiwi child - ruined by December rains and squally weather. As surely as Santa brings the showers, the Kiwi season settles in February.
Let's follow the sun.

West Philadelphia, Reborn and Razed
Can a university step in where a city fell down? John Fry is out to prove that it can.
In the hardscrabble section of West Philadelphia called Mantua, the man who could help change the neighborhood comes face to face with a symbol of its drug-infested and crime-ridden past.
John Fry, a 54-year-old resident of the leafy and exclusive suburb of Bryn Mawr, steps out of his pickup truck onto the sun-scorched corner of 33rd and Mount Vernon streets and stands in his sober black suit at the foot of a three-story tall mural painted on the blank side of a row house. It is a portrait of local legend Herman Wrice.
Story Continued Below
Wrice was a big man with a bigger personality. Brought to Mantua as a child by his mother, he was a gang member as a youth but eventually quit, going on to found a social service program he called the Young Great Society and later leading Mantua Against Drugs, a group renowned for its fearless confrontations with neighborhood dealers. Wearing MAD's signature white hardhat, Wrice not only wielded a bullhorn to lead chants during anti-drug rallies, he was known to carry a sledgehammer to bust down the doors of drug houses. On the night before an anti-drug march in 2001, he died of a heart attack at the age of 61.
Fry is soft-spoken and physically unimposing, but he has a reputation for being strongly determined and quietly persuasive, and he possesses his own set of tools—things like tax increment financing and discretionary budgeting power—whose use might very well alter the fortunes of Mantua in ways that Wrice could never have imagined.
And Mantua's fortunes are in urgent need of alteration. High-tone name notwithstanding (the original Mantua was the home of the Roman poet Virgil), the area of trash-strewn empty lots and rundown brick houses has long been an unsolvable blot on the Philadelphia map, separated from the city's grand Museum of Art district by the Schuykill River and a swath of commuter railroad tracks. Long ago carved out of what had once been part of the estate of one of the country's first federal judges, Mantua by the mid-20th century had become a stable home for working-class homeowners when white flight and urban decay turned it into a center of black poverty. By 1970, the area was almost completely African American, and most of its residents made half as much money each year as the average Philadelphian. By the '80s and '90s, Mantua was besieged by drug dealers, gangs and the crime that accompanied them. "You could see the devastation," says one long-time resident. Those who could get out, did; over the last several decades, Mantua's population declined by 50 percent.
Enter John Fry, who, almost from the day he assumed the presidency of nearby Drexel University in 2010, has made it his mission, and the mission of the school's 26,000 students, to be what he called "the most civically engaged university in the nation." And that very much involves the audacious task of reinventing Mantua, whose sketchy row houses and abandoned storefronts lie just minutes from the university's compact urban campus.
None of this is charity, exactly. Gone are the days when urban schools walled themselves off as citadels of learning and allowed neighborhoods to decay around them. When Columbia kids stuck to a few blocks in Harlem and Yalies created another reality from the urban dystopia of New Haven. At the University of Pennsylvania, where Fry worked before Drexel, the Ivy League kids so feared crossing the campus' western border that they called the McDonald's there "McDeath"; no more. "There is a greater appreciation that a university's fortunes reflect the place in which they are situated," says Bruce Katz, urban expert at the Brookings Institution. To pull in the kind of faculty and students Fry needed to accelerate Drexel's long transformation from a local technical school to a nationally ranked research powerhouse, he knew he had to do nothing less than transform its entire surroundings. He would need the skills not just of an ivory-tower academic but of a latter-day Robert Moses, imagining a new neighborhood amid the shards of the old.
Looking to invent new job opportunities for his university's neighbors, Fry has announced ambitious development projects aimed at making Drexel's piece of the University City area of Philadelphia—which also includes the University of Pennsylvania, several major hospitals and the country's oldest urban scientific research park—into what is being branded an "Innovation Neighborhood." Though that idea is still very much in the brochure stage, it has garnered national press for Fry and his vision to create a $2 billion center for high-tech entrepreneurial and educational partnerships just a short walk from an area better known for gangland shootings and drug deals.
Fry is well aware that it will require a long and difficult feat of engineering to build a figurative bridge between the shiny, high-tech "Innovation Neighborhood" of his imagining and the gritty corner in Mantua where Herman Wrice stares down from the painted brick wall with a look of protective menace over an area best known for gangland shootings and drug deals.
An Urban University's Hunger for Community
In the latest edition of POLITICO Magazine's "What Works" series: How John Fry is growing hope in West Philly. Filmed by Mark Peterson. Produced by Bridget Mulcahy. Edited by Michael Schwab.
Wrice looks south toward Drexel, where the yearly undergraduate tuition of $43,135 is well more than twice the annual income in most of the homes around him. A few blocks away from the mural, Fry idled his truck recently in front of Mantua's neighborhood school, Morton McMichael, a chronic underperformer that was recently set to be closed, but was given a reprieve thanks in part to intervention from Drexel's school of education. Having run through four principals in three years, McMichael was a place where fewer than one in five 7th graders could read at grade level, and where discipline was so bad that teachers feared assaults not just from students, but from their parents as well.
Still, "I like to think of this as, like, the Corner of Hope," the relentlessly sunny Fry tells me. "Right here in Mantua. Because we have a school that could be turned around. We have a recreation center that is very well used and well loved. We have some new Philadelphia Housing Authority housing."

The "new normal" became a bit of a buzzword about five years ago, after the 2008 financial crisis. It was a way to describe the change in our economy, and seems to imply reassuringly that the chaos and upheaval were subsiding and would go away altogether.
But if you think about it, the combination of these two simple words is a paradox. Because if 2008 could happen, who's to say something similar in magnitude — but equally shocking in substance — won't happen again next year or 2022, or 2035, creating an entirely different and even newer new normal? "New" plus "normal" means that there's really no such thing.
That's why The Jewish Week has chosen "The New Normal" as the name of our latest blog, which will feature new content several times a week on our website. It will focus on issues of disability and strive to serve those that care about them while increasing broader awareness. Our mission: to strengthen our community by helping to open it up, because if nobody is normal, then everybody is. That's a subversive notion for some, but a liberating one for many more. And if we can all act in that spirit, people who have needs — from a wheelchair-accessible bima to a job to a friend — will find them fulfilled, and we will all be the richer for it.
The blog will be a source of news and fresh ideas, a forum for debate and especially a place to share our stories, to give a voice to those who feel silenced, and to really hear them. We've worked hard to gather a diverse roster of contributors and advisers, and if you'd like to be a part of our work, or have suggestions about how we can make ourselves more accessible, we'd love to hear from you. In the meantime, please give "The New Normal" a read.

Does anyone know if the band plans to re-issue their albums in the near future, possibly with bonus tracks?
Does anyone know if the band plans to re-issue their albums in the near future, possibly with bonus tracks?
Shuttered Room Remastered Edition
Reach the Beach Remastered Edition
Phantoms Remastered Edition
Calm Animals Remastered Edition
No evidence of a Walkabout remaster, however.
So does anyone know when these remastered versions of The Fixx albums will even be re-issued?
Several of them are available direct from the band's website:
Currently listed there: Shuttered Room, Calm Animals, Want That Life, and Beautiful Friction, along with other compilations.
At Amazon or other e-tailers, you can find Reach The Beach in its reissued format, but some of the other albums are 3rd Party retailer only and not directly sold by Amazon. One consideration for Phantoms, the reissue is actually flawed with the Left/Right reversed compared to the original LP, Cassette Tape and CD releases. As result, the older issue of Phantoms CD that is correct, is extremely expensive to buy used (some price gouging close to $100 out there).
I've been lurking...
What I am experiencing is that, although, a lot of the Fixx albums were once re-issued in 2001, they are now out of print. If you read the Fixx website more carefully, some of them are out of stock. A lot of the other ones are available at a very high price on places like Amazon and Ebay. It is my worst fear that I will invest a significant amount of money collecting them and they get re-issued for cheap.

ProSweets 2013 Cologne
Marshmallows 'excellent' with whey proteins, says Herbertz
Georg Herbertz, owner of Herbertz Dairy Food Service, who organized the Conference on Ingredients at ProSweets 2013, told ConfectioneryNews.com about the latest developments in milk and whey ingredients in confectionery.
"Thanks to the development of new technologies we are able today to produce a number of whey ingredients and use them in our confectionery products," he said.
"Aerated products like marshmallows - in this kind of product - high purified whey proteins work excellent compared to other egg white," he continued.
Herbertz added that a lactose edible grade could be used to reduce the sweetness of a finished confection.
He said that it would be difficult to deal with rising demand for milk and whey ingredients, particularly as the market in the Far East, especially China, was growing rapidly.
Potential abolition of milk quotas by 2015 may ease supply constraints, he added.

Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, the American soldier charged with a grisly massacre of Afghan civilians, appears in a Washington state military courtroom Monday on accusations that he killed 16 villagers as they slept. TODAY's Natalie Morales reports.
Updated at 1 p.m. ET — A military hearing for Sgt. Robert Bales, accused of carrying out a pre-dawn slaughter of Afghan villagers, was set to hear the accounts of family members and victims in Afghanistan via live video call Friday.
The testimony comes one day after a forensic expert testified that she had matched blood from Bales' clothing to DNA removed from the scene of the killings.
The Article 32 hearings, similar to pre-trial hearings in a civilian court, were to determine whether there was sufficient evidence from the March 11 killings of 16 people in two villages — most of them women and children — to proceed with a court martial of Bales.
Bales, a 39-year-old decorated veteran of four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, faces 16 counts of premeditated murder and six counts of attempted murder, as well as charges of assault and wrongfully possessing and using steroids and alcohol while deployed.
The shootings in Afghanistan's Kandahar province marked the worst case of civilian slaughter blamed on an individual U.S. soldier since the Vietnam War and damaged already strained U.S.-Afghan relations.
Military prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Bales has not entered a plea and was not expected to testify. His attorneys, who did not give an opening statement, have not discussed the evidence, but say Bales has post-traumatic stress disorder and suffered a concussive head injury during a prior deployment to Iraq.
Two victims and four relatives of victims are scheduled to testify from Afghanistan against the American soldier on Friday night, starting at 7:30 p.m. PT (10:30 p.m. ET).
Also slated to appear are two Afghan National Army guards present at Camp Belambay at the time of the events. Their testimony may shed light on conflicting accounts already presented in court.
One U.S. soldier testified on Tuesday that he was told by one of the Afghan guards that two U.S. soldiers were seen entering the compound in the early hours of March 11, and one was seen leaving again, apparently contradicting government prosecutors' version of events.
The government — in a theory supported by several witnesses on Monday — contends that Bales left and entered the compound twice on his own, and acted alone.
Watch the most-viewed videos on NBCNews.com
Some Afghan villagers said after the shootings that more than one U.S. soldier was directly involved. Friday's hearing could be the first time such testimony is made public under oath, potentially casting doubt on the U.S. government's theory that Bales was solely responsible for the killings.
On Thursday, the court heard from an Army forensics specialist who testified that she had discovered traces of blood from nine individuals — four females and five males — on Bales' clothing, but only one of the DNA samples matched blood found at the crime scene.
Christine Trapolsi, a DNA examiner with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation laboratory, said there was blood on Bales' camouflage clothing, underwear, socks and shoes.
"I tried to take what I thought was a representative item," she said, describing how she cut blood-stained swatches of clothing taken from Bales after he returned to his Camp Belambay base.
Her testimony was the first to physically link Bales to the crime scene with forensic evidence. She said she compared the samples to blood swabs taken from three compounds in the villages of Alkozai and Najiban where prosecutors say Bales killed his victims and attempted to burn some of the bodies.
SEALs punished for role in developing 'Medal of Honor' video game, official says
But the DNA of only one of the nine unidentified people whose blood was found on Bales' clothing matched samples taken from one of the Afghan homes, Trapolsi said.
A second expert said materials taken from a pillow in an Afghan house where Bales allegedly carried out the assault matched fibers on the "cape" he wore that night, the News Tribune reported.
Soldiers who took Bales into custody on the early hours of March 11 reported that he was wearing a t-shirt, combat pants, a helmet, night vision goggles and a makeshift cape that appeared to be a decorative window or door covering.
After the killings, investigators could not get to the crime scenes in the two villages near the camp for three weeks because of the risk of attack by enraged Afghans. This complicated evidence-gathering.
Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Resilient Ideas: Processing Food Where the Food Is
Most farmers get pennies on each dollar that consumers spend on packaged food. While many growers speak wistfully of adding value to their product, it takes a huge investment in stainless steel machinery and certifications to make packaged apple juice from raw apples. The Mission Mountain Food Enterprise Center (MMFEC) in Ronan, Montana, is a nonprofit food-processing center that helps farmers learn how to convert their produce to commercially viable higher-value packaged products, safely and legally. This not only gives them a bigger slice of the retail pie, but opens up new markets: Schools and hospitals are more likely to buy carrots if they're pre-sliced. As these farmers shore up their financial security, the surrounding communities benefit from increased food security. The equipment at places like the MMFEC enables the preservation of local food for year-round consumption, while making agriculture more viable for smaller, independent, and new farmers.

California's African-American leaders are joining in the movement to boycott Florida following George Zimmerman's acquittal in the Trayvon Martin shooting death trial.
"There's sunshine all over the place and we don't need to go to Florida to find it," said Assemblymember Shirley Weber as she announced the message from the California Legislative Black Caucus to the so-called Sunshine State.
The caucus is joining with the National Black Caucus in requesting an investigation into possible civil rights violations surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin as well as calling on Florida lawmakers to rescind the controversial "stand your ground" law that played a pivotal role in Zimmerman's acquittal.
Holding signs of "peace" and "no more funerals" dozens of people gathered on the steps of the San Diego Hall of Justice Thursday to discuss the recent verdict.
"It should be a long time before any of us ever feel remotely comfortable considering Florida as a destination for business or pleasure," Weber said.
She has contacted black organizations planning on conferences in Florida next year and has asked them to reconsider traveling to the state.
Several leaders in San Diego's African-American community stood with Weber and offered their support.
"Staying away from Florida, Disney World, whatever it takes in order to see people live a just life," said Pastor Stephen Cooper of Nu-Way International Christian Ministries.
"We're going to stand together for however long it takes," said Pastor Gerald Brown with the United African-American Ministerial Action Council. "We're not going away."
Douglas Oden, with the San Diego-area chapter of the NAACP called on the Justice Department to investigate the possible civil rights violations that may have occurred.
The death of Trayvon Martin has re-energized the movement to end racial profiling, Oden said.
The group hopes the boycott will follow the path created by a similar movement in which African Americans boycotted Arizona over the state's failure to recognize the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday.
Weber has organized an event on August 28th at the State Capitol to Commemorate the 50 year anniversary of the March on Washington.
She said the event will continue to explore the circumstances surrounding Trayvon Martin's death and examine George Zimmerman's murder trial.
