Potty Training 101: Lazy Mom Style
There gets to be this point, when your kid is essentially pooping man poop, and you just don't want to change another diaper. You start to talk up the potty, you buy your kid underpants, you beg a little bit. Despite all that, more than my own desire to be done with it all was my need to not make potty training a big deal. I didn't want it to be stressful for Little Man. So, sometimes he would pee on the potty, some days I would ask if he wanted to wear underpants, most days the answer was no.
Besides not wanting to stress out Little Man, to be honest, I didn't really have the energy to be diligent with potty training. Staying on top of Little Man to make sure he didn't have accidents, cleaning up any accidents...all while chasing around The Animal? No thanks.
So, I resolved to having two kids in diapers forever and we carried on.
But then there were like four mornings in a row that Little Man woke up with a dry diaper. I took it as a sign and pushed the underpants. It was Saturday. He had half a poop accident (half in the kitchen, half in the potty) and that was it. He peed on his own, he didn't need reminding. I put his diaper on for nap and there was a solid half hour after he woke up where he sobbed "Put my dipey on, PLEASE!" and I thought maybe I made the wrong decision. But then he wanted his pants on. And he woke up dry on Sunday. One pee accident, and that was it.
He doesn't need reminding. He is so big. I love seeing the band of his spiderman underpants peeking out of the waist of his pants. I love his little diaper free tushie. And I love that I essentially did nothing to get to this point.
So, being the expert that I am, here's my advice--don't push it. Let your kid tell you when he or she is ready. I don't know, I think there are long books on the subject...but seriously. Take the lazy mom approach and do nothing until your kid does it for you.

Rebecca Gates found herself holding a bass guitar, an instrument that she can play in a pinch, at a 2006 recording session in New York with Willie Nelson.
"I was pretty intimidated," she says with a laugh. "I know Ryan Adams, who was producing, and he asked me to come in and sing some harmonies for a day for Willie's 'Songbird' album. When I walk in, Ryan hands me a bass, which I can play, sort of. They're learning the song 'Songbird' and I'm sitting next to Willie, holding the bass, and I don't know what I'm doing. And Willie says, 'Don't worry about it, I don't know how to play it either.' He was just so welcoming and it was so easy to be comfortable around him. I realized he's trying to answer the same questions I'm trying to answer, about songwriting, lyrics, arranging."
It was one of countless moments in the last decade that led to the making of Gates' first album since 2001, "The Float" (12XU/Parcematone Presents). The album was written and recorded in fits and starts in various locales across North America, and it touches on everything from elegant chamber-pop to slow-churn guitar rock. Gates' dusky voice and elliptical lyrics have never sounded more haunting. When she sings, "Walk into the sea/Wash back in with me," on the closing "Slowed Lowed Lowered," it's an image that lingers long after the music goes silent.
Gates is a masterly songwriter and singer. Each of her albums has something to recommend it, and a couple are considered classics – the Spinanes' "Strand" (1996) and "Arches and Aisles" (1998) rank with the best music of the '90s. But she drifted away from full-time music-making after a 2001 tour.
"I never quit making music, but I was stepping away from the business cycle of putting out a record and working it," she says. "I was just really burned out. I needed to recalibrate and see where it led me."
She lived in Chicago for a time, and began immersing herself in her other interests. "Moving to Chicago and learning the musical vocabulary that existed, the intersection of international, academic, jazz and rock music felt really right to me," Gates says. "It got me thinking about other ways to approach music and sound."
She curated a group show of sound art in Marfa, Texas, edited an audiomagazine (The Relay Project), and served as event manager for art exhibits from California to Switzerland.
"Working in the contemporary art world, it was like a film shoot in some ways," she says. "You had long days, very intense, at art fairs in places like Miami, Paris, London, for two weeks to a month. You couldn't knock off at 5 and work on some songs for a couple hours."
Gates also squeezed in guest-vocal work with an array of artists, including Nelson, the Decemberists, Laetitia Sadier, Ted Leo, the Minus Five, the Mekons and Califone. As often as she could, she'd play concerts, usually solo, sometimes tagging along as an opening act for her friends.
"I lost some confidence over the years because I had not played solo in a long time, but there I was playing solo in front of 2,000 people opening for the Decembrists in Boston," she says. "Being up there by yourself being heckled and not being heckled, most people not knowing who I was, it made me realize it was fun, challenging. It was a big moment for me. And it made me think that maybe it is worth it for me to put some time into this record that I was trying to make."
Though "The Float" was recorded over a number of years with a variety of musicians, including members of Califone, Wild Flag, Los Lobos and Tortoise, it has a coherent flow. Now she enters a music business world far different from the one she left behind 11 years ago. Gates has worked with the Future of Music Coalition in Washington, D.C., on helping musicians navigate the changing economic climate in the post-Napster era, so she knows intimately the risks involved.
"The thing I always hone in on is that just because we play music we shouldn't be venerated," she says. "Money won't just walk in through the front door. But there is a real disconnect between how much music is appreciated culturally, how it helps people shape brands, and what is really happening with most musicians' income. Working musicians are going to need someone around them thinking of this as a small business. Spending your own money on a project, as I am, is problematic. The label structure, as problematic as it was, allowed people to not have to have all these other skills to continue to play. Labels played an important role as curators and filters."
Now Gates, like the vast majority of indie musicians, is doing most of the heavy lifting herself.
"I'm totally over capacity," she says with a laugh. "I'm my own manager, my own booking agent. I licensed the record to Gerard (Cosloy) at 12XU. I want to work this record, engage and see what happens. If there is no interest, I get it. I'll adjust. But if there is a chance for me to play more music, I want to know."

LONGMONT -- After several years of promoting health and wellness, the LiveWell Longmont coalition is attempting to draw more interest from Longmont's business community.
Formed in 2008, LiveWell Longmont is a partnership of Longmont United Hospital, the city of Longmont and the St. Vrain Valley School District. Many other partners, including the Ed & Ruth Lehman YMCA, the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce and Boulder County Public Health have supported the mission over the years.
"We're trying to create more of a dialogue with the community," said Eric Bergeson, chairman of LiveWell Longmont's steering committee. "Certainly, the business community is a key part of that."
LiveWell Longmont
LiveWell Longmont, which seeks to promote healthy lifestyles and overall wellness, is seeking more interaction with the business community.
Any business interested in getting more information about LiveWell Longmont should contact Leslie Feuerborn at 303-678-4917 or by email .
More information: Visit LiveWellColorado's Longmont page.
Bergeson, formerly of Amgen, said he used to head up the quality systems division for that company. In that job, he said, the dollars and resources spent up front would always be exponentially less than what would be spent trying to fix a problem after the fact, and he views health and wellness the same way.
"For me, that's a lot of what LiveWell Longmont is all about," Bergeson said.
Kelly Brough, the president and CEO of the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, was invited by LiveWell Longmont to give the keynote speech Tuesday morning in front of a crowd of more than 50 at the Xilinx Summit Retreat Center.
The topic of her discussion was why health and wellness should matter to businesses, and she said increased health care costs and lost productivity were two, but by no means all of the reasons.
Brough said that despite Colorado's reputation for a healthy lifestyle, the state is slipping in terms of the overall health of its populace. The obesity rate in the state, she noted, just passed 20 percent for the first time, and the rate among kids is 14 percent, ranking Colorado 23rd of 50 states in childhood obesity.
Businesses, she said, can help lead the way in turning that around, and that's critical to the long-term economic health of the state. Obviously, she said, recruiting and retaining companies is important to Colorado's economic future, but those things aren't enough.
"The second economic development strategy is to have the best work force in the world," Brough said, adding that means both in health and wellness and in education, and there is work to be done on both fronts.
Sitting on a panel discussion with an LUH representative and Steve Lam, executive director of site operations for Amgen and a LiveWell Longmont, Brough acknowledged that 90 percent of businesses in Longmont, and statewide, are small. They don't have the money to be self-insured and to have their own on-site gym, as Amgen does, or offer yoga classes for employees, as LUH does. But even smaller organizations can make a difference, she said.
Within the Denver Metro Chamber, she said, her employees have adopted some new tactics, such as taking the stairs, offering healthier meal choices during chamber events, celebrating in-house birthdays with fruit and frozen yogurt instead of cupcakes -- "which are delicious," Brough allowed -- and adding team-building activities "that physically engage us."
Bergeson said Tuesday's meeting was LiveWell Longmont's biggest coming out to the business community to date. He encouraged businesses that can afford it to become a part of the Worksite Wellness Collaboration, joining the school district, the city and LUH. Or companies could sponsor a nonprofit, such as the $2,500 Seagate just donated to help the Tiny Tim Center become part of LiveWell Longmont.
Finally, Bergeson said, any business, no matter how small, that is interested in the program is welcome to contact them to find out how they can make their workplace part of the movement.

A brief chunk of today's iPhone 5 event was dedicated to the new smartphone's support for "wideband audio" phone calls. What wideband audio offers is phone calls with audio that's been less compressed than your typical cell phone call. The average cell phone emphasizes the mid-range where most of your voice pitch resides, and heavily compresses and thus distorts the higher and lower ranges. Wideband audio still applies some compression, but it's not as harsh on the upper and lower frequencies, offering a wider range of pitch and thus more lifelike sound. It also enhanced noise cancellation and makes it easier to differentiate what you're listening to.
Unless you're on Sprint, which apparently won't support wideband audio on the iPhone 5. According to a statement given to Phone Scoop by Sprint, the Now Network won't be offering their HD Voice service (the marketing name for wideband audio voice) on the iPhone 5.
No specific reasoning was given why Sprint won't be one of the claimed twenty carriers globally that will be supporting wideband audio on the iPhone 5. Sprint does offer HD Voice on the Android-powered HTC Evo 4G LTE, though like Sprint's LTE network, only select markets will have HD Voice support by the end of the year.
We don't know what other carriers might offer support for wideband audio on the iPhone 5, but considering the dozens and dozens of carriers that will offer the device, it's disappointing to only hear the number twenty. Verizon's own HD Voice tinkering has been done using VOLTE (Voice Over LTE), which Apple doesn't support. AT&T hasn't tinkered with HD Voice yet, but they'll be doing it over VOLTE as well.
Sure, we don't make phone calls as often as we used to, but when we do we'd love for them to be sounding better than they currently do.

I can't believe we are on Week 18 of Amy Coffin's wonderfully written 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy series. This week's challenge is:
Dip your toe in the social networking pool. Genealogists are some of the friendliest people on the block. Networking with them by using "social" web sites will help your research and provide you with new friends. If you've never used social networking tools, this Social Networking in Plain English video by Common Craft is a good place to start. Picture the ways you can use social networking to meet and collaborate with other genealogists. Some of the more popular social networking sites are Facebook, Twitter and even Linked-In (though this site is more business-like in its purpose). You do not have to join these sites if you do not feel comfortable doing so, but you should at least know they exist and that they can benefit genealogy research. Those that are well-versed in social networking can refer others to the video. Bloggers are encouraged to discuss how they use various social networking sites in their own research.
After 3 weeks of Amy giving me tasks that I had put off, we finally come to an easy week. I love social networking with genealogists. I love not doing my research in a hole. I love instantly sharing with other what I have been researching and when I am doing a genealogy happy dance.
Facebook allows me to share my blog with all of my friends (not just my genealogy buddies). It surprises me when someone at work mentions that they read it. Hopefully I can get more people interested in their own genealogy.
I use Twitter primarily for genealogy. I link to my newest blog posts and tell everyone what I am working on that day. I love the conversation that is always taking place between genealogists there. It also allows me to find new genealogy blogs to read.
I signed up for Linked In when I renamed this blog. But I really haven't used it. I'm sure that it will come in handy someday.
Please feel free to join me on these social networking sites. Below are links to all my pages. Hope to see you there!

w/ age and the overripe character starting to dominate. $40.00 (vSC)
And the usual bloviations from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. LasMadres: I first had a LasMadres Syrah made by BryanKane/VIE just as the vnyd was coming on-line.
I was mightly impressed by the wine and made an appt to visit John&Jean Painter out there on my next
visit. It's a beautiful sited vnyd, in a large bowl, right there in the Carneros a few miles to the
West of the HudsonVnyd. Driving across the Carneros from Napa, you pass LeeHudson's Ranch w/ the
Hermitage up on the hillside. Turning onto the NapaRd to go the back way into Sonoma, at the dairy
barns, the NicholsonRanch is right there at the intersection on your right. The next road down takes
you back south to the LasMadres vnyd at the end of HerschelRd.
LasMadres is planted in two separate blocks, Esther and Hulda. Presume those are the names of the two
mothers. ENTAV clones 174 and 300.
This '06 LasMadres was the first Syrah that John&Jean have made themselves. ThomasRiversBrown was
consulted in its making.
There has been little doubt from over the last few yrs that LasMadres is one of Calif's truly great
Syrah vnyds. This tasting certainly confirmed that fact. It exhibits lots of cold-climate Syrah/black
pepper/olive tapenade character, one of the signatures of Hudson Syrah, but maybe with a bit more ripe
blackberry fruit. I prefer the ones made with partial/motly whole-cluster ferments because of the Rhonish
character it brings to the wine. Would I recognize LasMadres terroir if served it blind?? Prolly not;
only if I made a lucky guess. I am such a doofus.
2. Marelle: Back at one of the HdR events some yrs ago, CaroleMeredith introduced me to AshleyHeisey,
who Carole thought was making very good Syrah there in Yountville. I tasted them at a subsequent HdR
or RR and was rather impressed w/ them. Ran into Ashley one other time after that at a RR tasting, then
sort of lost track of her. Her WebSite no longer exists and I presume she's no longer making Marelle
wines. Her day job appears to be the winemaker at LongMeadowRanch. Talented lady and liked both these
Syrahs quite a lot.
3. NicholsonRanch: This is a beautiful property right there at the NapaRd/SonomaHwy intersection. Extensive
underground caves for barrel aging. They seem to emphasize their SonomaVlly location rather than Carneros,
which I guess they're not included in. They make Chard/Pinot/Merlot/Syrah. I once tasted thru their lineup
in the tasting room and found the wines attractive enough, but just that. However, two of these Syrahs
(BennetVlly and LasMadres) were terrific. I don't know if they continue to take LasMadres Syrah or not, though.
At one time, JeanPainter worked there, don't know if she still does.
4. eno: This is the wnry of SashaVerhage, located in lower Berkeley. Originally in the first wnry that Steve
Edmunds crafted his first wines, but believe they have now moved down near Donkey&Goat. Have followed eno
from the very start, when Sasha first showed his wines at HdR. He's made some very interesting wines over
the yrs. Looking at his WebSite, which is totally stale & out of date, I was afraid he'd gone under. But
KenZinns assures me eno is still very much alive.
5. Myriad: This is the label of MikeSmith. He's worked w/ ThomasRiversBrown over the yrs. I've never had a Myriad
before. This btl was gifted to me by John&Jean. Not a wnry I've followed from the very start, alas.
6. VIE: This is the label of BryanKane, from PaloAlto. Followed him from the very start, I did, when he first
showed at HdR. He know owns vnyds up in LakeCnty and makes some very interesting wines under his SolRouge
label. Originally he made his wines at the crush facility in SanFrancisco. He now occupies a converted hanger
on TreasureIsland where he continues to make very good wines.

i guess you're a georgetown fan.
I'm so jeaous Michael. My dad didn't even finish high school and got so mad about my lsat score (cause I went to an uber-competitive college and did well considering my massive courseload) and he even said he could do better just walking in and taking it! My mom is a little better, she went to uncompltitive undergrad and grad programs, so usually just says, I can't imagine what it's like doing all this for hard schools!My best friend is even trouble! All he says is you'll get in everywhere and, knowing I applied to 22 schools, ask why I didn't apply to W&L! I said cause my numbers suck and allo he could say is you want a shot at everywhere don't you???Alas... yay for LSD at least! BTW, I love bender's way of looking at things.
well, the person in my family who was the most invested in my app process (maternal gmother) had a stroke last week and has been in a drug-induced coma for a while. When I go visit her, I tell her good news, even though im not sure she can hear me. i have lived with my grandparents since I was a little kid, and my gramma and grampa are from chicago. I can't get up the courage to tell my grampa that I got rejected from Northwestern (my dream school, for more reasons than one), let alone my comatose gramma who I've always been closest to. I just hope that they'll be proud of me. Good luck everyone!

About this font family
In the late 60's, one of the best art publications in the country was Motive magazine, published (amazingly) by the United Methodist Church. Filled to the brim with poetry, essays, line drawing and woodcuts, it also featured some cutting-edge typography. Boxy/Code is based upon my memories of woodcut typography from that great magazine. Since Boxy/Code's lowercase consists of the uppercase's negative spaces, it's easy to combine the two with Layer Styles in Photoshop in order to achieve the effect I used in one poster above. It also works great if you use a well-known text as a background. This new version is totally redrawn and features all the Latin-accented letters. Uppercase consists of black capitals in boxes; lowercase features the negative spaces of those boxed capitals. Uppercase and lowercase line up exactly for 2-color effects.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office's Marine Unit patrols bodies of water during the boating season.
Currently, fully-equipped vessels routinely patrol the county's portion of the Hudson River and Lake Oscawana, a fresh water lake in Putnam Valley.
Each year highly trained uniformed deputy sheriffs board these vessels in an effort to assist with search and rescue operations, assist boaters, conduct boat safety inspections and enforce the New York State Navigational Law. The Sheriff's Marine Unit, working in conjunction with other area law enforcement agencies, provides Homeland Security surveillance of the Bear Mountain and Beacon-Newburgh bridges, as well as the Metropolitan North and ConRail railway systems which operate on both shores of the Hudson River.
Realizing that an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," deputies offer the New York State Boater's Safety Course to community residents. Each year, boaters of all ages attend this training, which is aimed at teaching the safe operation of vessels. The department's goal is to reduce accidents and injuries through education and voluntary compliance. We believe that the combination of education and law enforcement will enable Putnam boaters to enjoy a safe recreational season.

"The gangs of today will be the terrorists of tomorrow"
Three men and a teenaged boy were arrested on gang assault and other charges shortly after a man who was mugged at Welker Street and Woodlawn Avenue told police they were among the seven or eight males who attacked and tried to rob him at about 9:15 p.m. Monday.
Arrested by Fillmore-Ferry District police offices at East Ferry Street and Roehrer Avenue a short time later were Michael Midgett Jr., 20, of Woodlawn Avenue; Holiday Johnson, 18, of Brunswick Boulevard; James Black, 18, of Butler Avenue, and a 15-year-old boy.
The victim reportedly suffered from a bloody lip, and severe swelling, bruising and pain around his right eye.
All four suspects were charged with felony gang assault, attempted first-degree robbery, third-degree assault, menacing and harassment.
Police reported recovering a handgun allegedly used in the incident. The victim told officers that the handgun was shoved in his face before he was repeatedly punched and kicked to the ground and his attackers went through his pockets looking for money.
The racketeering charges stemmed from crimes Carl Perryman committed to enhance his position in the gang, said Eastern District federal prosecutors James Miskiewicz and Grace Cucchissi. Perryman, of Rockville Centre, pleaded guilty in August to assault with a dangerous weapon, the shooting of a person he suspected of being an informant, and the shooting of a person he suspected of being a member of the rival Crips gang. Both victims survived their wounds, court papers said.
The suspected member of the rival Crips was identified as Kelly Baldwin, who was shot after he did what was described as a "Crips dance" to taunt members of the Bloods in March 2011 by the Old Mill Court housing complex in Rockville Centre, according to court papers.
The suspected informant was identified in court papers as John Bush, who was shot by Perryman on July 2009, also near the Old Mill Court complex, according to the papers.
Perryman's attorney, Matthew Brissenden, of Garden City, said his client apologized to both victims before he was sentenced Monday in Central Islip by U.S. District Judge Arthur Spatt. Prosecutors Miskiewicz and Cucchissi declined to comment.
Perryman was acquitted in Nassau County Court in 2010 for the Bush shooting, court papers said. In a separate case, he was acquitted in 2009 in Nassau County Court of murdering a man identified as David Baez.
Two witnesses to the Baez killing, who initially tied him to that crime, recanted and testified for Perryman, according to the court papers. Those witnesses were subsequently convicted of perjury and sentenced to jail, the papers said. A third witness did not appear for trial because she had been intimidated by Perryman, the papers said.
The Thursday stabbing happened just down the road from last weekend's shooting that injured five people.
Not only that, it happened an hour after police and the mayor tried to send a message that this type of violence will not be tolerated.
Fourth Street here was the scene of the shooting over the weekend -- it was also the backdrop for city officials and police this morning -- calling for an end to the violence.
"These actions will not be tolerated and we will do everything in our power to end this apparent pattern of violence," said Troy Mayor Lou Rosamilia.
About an hour after Rosamilia said those words, police received a call for a stabbing on River Street. The victim, a 25 year-old male, went to St. Mary's Hospital.
"That victim right now is being less than cooperative. They were treated there and then transferred to Albany Med with pretty serious injuries," said Troy Police Captain Daniel DeWolf.
Police say there's no suspect yet. However, it's that kind of violence they feel has been on the rise. Just over the weekend, five people were shot on Fourth Street when a gunman opened fire into a crowd in front of Gino's Pizza. Investigators say two of the victims were targeted in a feud between rival gangs in Albany and Troy, but the other three were innocent bystanders.
"When you have the shooting of innocent bystanders, there are some precautions that have to be taken," said Troy Police Chief John Tedesco.
As part of the precautions, Tedesco and the Rosamilia say more police officers will be patrolling the streets -- especially the area of Fourth Street which is always filled with people on the weekends between midnight and 4 a.m. That's when the bars close. Police are also planning on being more aggressive in their search for those criminals.
"If you come here and you engage in the activities like last week, you're not simply going to walk away," warned Tedesco.
NEW YORK (AP) - There are more than 300 of them in New York - violent crews of dozens of 12- to 20-year-olds with names such as Very Crispy Gangsters, True Money Gang and Cash Bama Bullies.
Police say these groups, clustered around a particular block or housing project, are responsible for about 40 percent of the city's shootings, with most of that violence stemming from the smallest of disses on the street, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
"It's like belonging to an evil fraternity," said Inspector Kevin Catalina, commander of the New York Police Department's gang division. "A lot of it is driven by nothing: A dispute over a girl or a wrong look or a perceived slight."
The trend of smaller, younger crews has also been seen in Chicago and Northeast cities over the last few years as police have cracked down on bigger, more traditional gangs, experts said. While the Bloods, Crips and Latin Kings still exist, operating such money-making schemes as drug dealing, their members are usually older and understand the timeworn mantra of organized crime: violence is bad for business.
Not so for the crews, whose recklessness prompted former Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly in 2012 to launch an initiative to confront the crews dubbed Operation Crew Cut.
Investigators now focus on gathering intelligence about specific crews - understanding their activities, allegiances and feuds which they glean through traditional street policing and trolling of social media sites, cell phone photos and even recorded jailhouse calls.
Police have also stepped up arrests of the most active crew members. In Manhattan, prosecutors set up an internal email alert system that notifies them when crew member are arrested, even on minor charges, and provides beyond-the-rap-sheet details for bail arguments. The prosecutor might mention that the person was a suspect in another crime or had made threats on Facebook, for instance.
In a recent case in Harlem, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. says a 2009 killing kindled years of vendetta attacks, including three killings and 30 shootings. Sixty-three people were rounded up, and at least 62 entered guilty pleas, including crew members so young that one told another to "mob up" after school.
"The evidence was very powerful," said Robert Anesi, who represented a 19-year-old who pleaded guilty to attempted murder and conspiracy charges in the case last week. "They had such access to social media and they knew who the players were."
NYPD statistics show gang arrests are up citywide nearly 14 percent from 2013 - and more than 28 percent from two years ago. Shooting incidents citywide are about the same as they were last year, with 282 recorded so far, and are down by nearly 23 percent from two years ago.
Still, crew-related violence persists despite record dips in overall crime in New York City over the last few years. The most notable recent case came in March when investigators say a 14-year-old member of the Stack Money Goons shot a .357 revolver at a rival member of the Twan Family on a crowded bus in Brooklyn. The bullet instead killed an immigrant father who was working two jobs to support his family.
"When you ask young adults, 'Why? Why did you shoot that young man?' Probably 80 percent of the time the answer is: He disrespected me," said Kai Smith, an ex-con-turned-businessman who runs a gang-diversion program in city high schools.
Smith works with students who have been arrested at least once, forcing them to define what disrespect means through exercises and role-playing.
Jamal Williams, 18, a high school junior, says he's been affiliated with crews and gangs since he was 9, though he's trying to turn his life around.
"A crew to me is a family," he said. "They are going to be there for me like my parents was never there for me."
As more crew members are locked up, investigators are noticing a trend of crew members shifting affiliations behind bars, emerging as a sort-of hybrid gang-crew combination with diffuse connections and alliances.
"That has really complicated this universe," Catalina said. "We went from a traditional gang problem to a crew problem and now we're morphing back into somewhat of a traditional gang problem."

The last thing a gang member wants to be is a snitch.
Snitches undefined or rats, squealers or canaries undefined supply damning information to police about fellow criminals that can send them to prison for life.
Hence, gang members are big proponents of the anti-snitching efforts that have been thwarting police investigations for years in the Capital Region.
But that does not stop them from providing damning information by literally singing for law enforcement.
In one of the ironies of the criminal justice system, many of the same individuals who claim to detest snitching have no problem rapping on the Internet and, in the process, giving police more information than any snitch might have provided.
They discuss specific beefs, plans, name types of guns and, most of all, show their faces for any cop to see.
The latest example surfaced on Friday when Jovell White-Span, 22, of Rensselaer, was charged as one of two alleged shooters in the 2013 slaying of Edward Maxim, who was not a gang member, in Albany.
People with knowledge of the case say White-Span and co-defendant Jahmeek "Meeker" Croley of Albany, both reputed members of the Yard Boys street gang in Albany, were recruited to kill Maxim in a prearranged hit.
Long before White-Span faced murder and conspiracy charges that carry 25 years to life in prison, the aspiring rapper created a Facebook page on which he called himself "Shooter on Deck" undefined and flashed a giant gun alongside other men flashing large guns.
So before his first day in court, he has already identified himself as a "shooter."
On March 25, White-Span went on Facebook to compliment the direction and editing skills of a video made in Troy he referred to as "SendinShots."
It so happened that on YouTube, a rap video called "Sending Shots" depicted scenes from around Troy, where several rappers made various boasts and spoke of blasting guns. One of the rappers mentions his "gunners" and makes a reference to violently riding into Second Street and Lexington Avenue, where Albany "uptown" gangs are based. It appeared to be connected to ongoing violence between gangs in Albany and Troy that police in both cities acknowledge has led to an increase in shootings.
A common theme in the back-and-forth has been that victims of the shootings have been unwilling to cooperate with police.
But on "Sending Shots," the rappers showed their faces and went into great effort to call themselves "YGz," an apparent reference to the "Young Gunnerz" gang in Troy.
On Feb. 4, 2013, Takim Smith, 21, known as "Tubu," of Albany, who was not involved in any gang, was lured to a Corliss Park apartment in Troy under the pretense of sex with two women and robbed and killed. The apartment where Smith was killed was considered a hangout for the Young Gunnerz.
Even without him being involved in crime, his death led to the Troy-Albany gang violence, police say. But they also said social media undefined such as the rap videos undefined has fueled violence.
Another video made by young rappers in Albany mocks several members of the "Gunnerz."
Both videos are packed with hand gestures about guns.
The trend is not entirely new. Federal prosecutions of gangs in the Capital Region have revealed rap videos that help identify various gang members and associates.
In 2008, when police arrested three defendants in the slaying of University at Albany student Richard Bailey, two of them had rap songs posted online.
Both later cooperated with prosecutors.
A Bronx gang leader was found guilty Tuesday of the cold-blooded killing of a 16-year-old boy, authorities said.
Prosecutors said Trinitarios thug Carlos (White Boy) Urena was the triggerman in the 2005 murder of Ka'Shawn Phillips. The teen, who was shot in the head in Yonkers, just over the Bronx border, was also stabbed 20 times.
"Urena walked up with a 9-mm. gun and shot Ka'Shawn Phillips right in the head," Assistant U.S. Attorney Micah Smith said in Urena's seven-week jury trial.
Urena, 27, faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison, authorities said. He was convicted of various charges, including murder in aid of racketeering, racketeering and drug conspiracy. No sentencing date was immediately set.
Limet Vasquez, an associate, was found guilty of racketeering, murder conspiracy and other counts.
He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a mandatory minimum of five years.
The convictions are the latest obtained by the feds in a steady stream of gang takedowns.
Last month, a Daily News review that highlighted the Phillips murder showed Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's office has convicted more than 1,000 of about 1,300 people charged in 52 large-scale drug and gang takedowns since late 2009.
"The Bronx streets are safer because of the jury's verdict," Bharara said Tuesday.

Hi guys and gals long time no see.
I have been having this feeling in my right knee cap, or just under it anyway. I can't really describe it, it is sort of a very mild tightness maybe or really just this indescribable sensation. I am also noticing that if I sit down and try to raise that leg out in front of me at the knee, it seems to get tired much quicker than the left. I am also having some twitches in the area around it, as well as sum in my mouth, my gums more specifically. I also have felt like the knee buckled a few times.
I am worried about this because I read about a doctor whose ALS started with what he called a trick knee. Should I be worried about this? I feel like I have had this sensation in my knee a few times in the past couple of years, which is about how long ago I started twitching. Now in all honesty I have been working out a good bit here lately, which has included a variety of squats some with weights some without.

The wind sock at Rowland Dusters in LaSara, Texas, was stretching straight out, which meant Blayne Rowland would working in his office and not flying one of his planes. The wind was close to 30 miles per hour, hardly conducive to crop dusting.
"You might think that a calm day would be perfect, but it's not," says Rowland. On a calm day, a pilot doesn't know where the herbicide will land. Sometimes it just drifts upwards, becoming less effective and making a mess of the plane.
High winds mean too much drift. "We need winds six to seven miles per hour to do the best job." But depending on how much the farmer needs his crops dusted, he'll fly in winds up to 25 miles per hour.
Rowland, a third generation duster, has logged 9,000 hours since he started spraying in 1990, following in the footsteps of his dad who has logged upwards of 20,000 hours and keeps going.
"There are only about ten crop dusting businesses left in the Rio Grande Valley," says Rowland, "down from about 15 ten years ago." Cropland has diminished, but that's not the only reason. "Aircraft and dusting have become a lot more efficient." One custom built duster with a 680 hp Pratt-Whitney engine can cover a lot more territory today than the under-powered Super Cubs of years ago, and it will carry chemicals that are a lot more effective. A GPS system aboard the plane maps out the land being sprayed, taking the guesswork out of the process.
One plane can carry 500 gallons, or 4,000 lbs. of chemicals. In three days, a plane can apply 600,000 pounds of fertilizer. To cover a 1300-acre field he makes about 100 passes.
Rowland starts in January with onions and a few greens; he works potatoes in March, watermelons and vegetables in April and May, cotton and sorghum in the summer. "But cotton is still king," says Rowland, "and the summer cotton season is our biggest."
"We're also applying a lot more herbicide in the fall than we have in the past. The price of Roundup has come down, so more farmers can afford it."
"When we have a wet summer we're the busiest." When cotton and grain re-growth is taking place, farmers can't get in their fields with a tractor to spray, so aerial application becomes necessary.
Rowland Dusters serves farmers in Willacy, Hildalgo and Cameron counties, but "we're all going a little further." Rowland has flown as far as Laredo and Eagle Pass for jobs.
A duster has to love to fly because it's not an easy business, and the investment is considerable. Each of Rowland's three aircraft cost more than half-a-million dollars.
Insurance is expensive and lawsuits always a worry. Rowland has to study wind directions carefully so he doesn't inadvertently spray a residential area. There are few occupations that are more reliant on the weather.
Having learned from both his grandfather, who started Rowland Dusters in 1946, and his dad, who still works with him, Blayne understands taking precautions when he's flying. "I've brushed a few tree limbs," he says, but nothing more serious than that.
Blayne and his family also farm. "This year we've got 1700 acres of sorghum, 600 of watermelon and 60 acres of onions." It helps to know the business from the ground up.

Materials you will need: Posts, nail polish, glue and acrylic stars.
First off, Michaels was having a sale on these wedding favors that I couldn't resist purchasing because I have problems. These glass jars remind me of the candy jars at my parent's convenience store.
Line up your stars. I have large earlobes, lol, so my first star is quite large. They slope smaller in size and I laid them out to curl up.
You can totally use all tiny stars, or all medium sized ones, or big ones, or anything.
Now I have two versions of the next step.
You can glue the stars physically together.
Warning, it's a bit of a mess. Always, always make sure you have proper ventilation if you're working with E6000, the stuff is strong. Don't worry about the glue pooling or being visible, we'll paint over it.
OR you can cut a small strip of thick paper and glue the stars on that. I thought of this after the mess that was the first step, lol.
It's harder to have the stars curve with this way though.
After you have done gluing, let it cure/dry.
Then it's painting time!
The rare times I paint my nails it's usually black/dark burgundy, so I went out to Duane Reade and purchased all these cheap polishes.
I'm not sure which technique is better, one thick layer, or several thin ones. The clear stars are definitely easier to paint, I can't promise that the colors of the stars wont show through, esp. at the ridges.
I'm feeling the matte white. I want to paint a matte black one. I'm going to have to redo it, with more curve.
Almost done!
Glue on your post and let dry.

Research began on Serrapeptase in the 1970's. It is a proteolytic enzyme that is isolated from the silkworms intestines. This superior enzyme has many beneficial properties. It is popular in Asia and Europe because of its unique ability in the human body to destroy tissue that is non-living.
There are so many clinical applications for Serrapeptase. Dr. Hans Nieper, a German physician, was successful in administering Serrapeptase to improve the heart and circulatory system of his patients.
In nature, this powerful enzyme digests or eats away the protective cocoon of the silkworm and allows the moth to fly away unharmed. In humans, Serrapeptase digests only tissue that is non-living, removing buildup in the arteries.
Because Serrapeptase can dissolve blood clots and reduce the appearance of varicose veins, it has proven helpful for heart patients to remove atherosclerotic plaque on the walls of the arteries without damage to healthy cells. In Europe, Serrapeptase has been approved as a standard remedy for injuries such as sprains and torn ligaments because it reduces the swelling. One German study confirmed that Serrapeptase reduced swelling up to fifty percent in patients post-operative.
Research studies continue for Serrapeptase for its many applications for disease prevention. Contact your health care provider to determine if Serrapeptase is right for your condition. Click here to learn about Serrapeptase.

Wireless Remote Camera to Improve Monitoring
The Bath group of the Hawk and Owl Trust has installed a new wireless remote camera to improve monitoring of the peregrine nest on the city's St John's Church which has seen successful breeding in the last three years.
The nest is on a platform box erected by the group in 2004 and the new camera should make it easier to check developments through the breeding season. in 2008 it was initially thought the female produced three eggs.
However group member Ed Drewitt reports that recent evidence suggests that the peregrines laid four in 2008. Two chicks fledged, and were ringed , measured and tagged in May, while one egg was addled. But recently fellow member Louise Hazelton found the mummified corpse of a newly hatched peregrine chick at the base of the church tower. This suggests that a third chick hatched but didn't survive, making four eggs in all. Peregrines usually just drop dead chicks below the nest or carry them off.
At one stage later in the season it was feared one of the surviving fledglings might have died, but both have been seen and photographed, so the fears proved groundless.
"We plan to fit a new camera in the box this winter so we should be able to keep a good eye on progress," says the group's publicity officer, Mke Rogers.
"Let's hope for another successful year in 2009. With the adult male now absent, it will be interesting to see who the adult female pairs with. A chick from an earlier brood, identified as Chick AA (top photo), which was ringed in 2007, has come into adult plumage already and could mate with his mother."
The nestbox was first erected in 2004, and has been used successfully each year since 2006. The first camera was installed in 2007 to allow monitoring with disturbance, but the uncertainty over the number of eggs showed the need for improvement.

Mother Knows Best
Follow your body's cues through childbirth.
By Judith A. Lothian, RN, PHD, LCCE, FACCE
Your body has sheltered and nurtured your baby throughout your pregnancy quite naturally. Birth happens this way, too.
But why bother to experience birth? Why not feel as little of labor as possible? We hear a great deal about the pain of childbirth but very little about the joy and pleasure of experiencing contractions, bearing down as your baby pushes into the world and feeling in harmony with the rhythms of your body as it does the incredible work of birth. Women who are able to labor and give birth while relaxed and confident, and with loving support, are able to tap into their inner strength and endure. The pain that is a natural part of childbirth becomes manageable. Experiencing labor and childbirth, rather than shutting them out, allows you to feel joy intermingling with pain and then delight in your incredible accomplishment. You will be forever changed!
When a woman gives birth, surrounded by family and friends who believe that birth will happen naturally, she is aware on an intuitive level of her ability to give birth. She instinctively responds to each contraction, finding comfort by rocking, walking and moaning. The support and encouragement she receives enhance her confidence.
In many of today's hospital environments, it's sometimes difficult to trust the normal, natural process of birth and stay confident as labor progresses. Fetal monitors, intravenous lines, restrictions on your positioning and movement, and the flurry of nurses and doctors in and out of your room certainly give the impression that birth is not going to happen simply or easily. Calm, capable and constant labor support can help you transcend the noise, machines and unfamiliar environment. And having the freedom to move and find comfort in a variety of ways is key to managing increasingly strong contractions.
Many hospitals now encourage you to walk around during labor, use showers and birth balls, eat, drink and wear your own clothes. Of course, it's easier to feel comfortable and safe in a familiar place, so you may choose to give birth in an out-of-hospital birth center or at home. This option is safe if you are healthy, have received prenatal care and are attended by a skilled midwife or physician. You should always have a plan for hospital backup if that becomes necessary.
Giving birth is a not-to-be-missed experience. Savor the rest of your pregnancy, look forward to meeting your baby and trust that your body will do exactly what it was designed so well to do. Like countless generations of women before you, you can give birth with confidence, joy and deep satisfaction.

Peyton Manning yelled "OMAHA" before 44 of his team's 70 plays last week against San Diego, and he's back at it in today's AFC championship game.
No one knows exactly what it means. When asked about it at his press conference, Manning gave a sarcastic anti-answer.
But over the past week, a bunch of different people from the NFL world have offered explanations that give us a rough idea of what Manning means when he says "Omaha."
Traditionally, "Omaha" lets the offense know that the ball will be snapped on the next sound.
Manning isn't the first person to use "Omaha" has a pre-snap call. Tom Brady used to yell it all the time, but started saying "Alpha" instead after other NFL players decoded the meaning of the word from watching film. Eli Manning famously used it so often in a 2009 game against Dallas that NBC's Chris Collinsworth said he was "tipping" the snap during the broadcast.
It's simple. Manning yells something like, "Omaha ... hike" and the ball is snapped on "hike."
But Peyton doesn't always use "Omaha" in this way.
As Deadspin noted, there were several plays last week where "Omaha" came right before a hard count — where Manning tries to draw the defense offsides by yelling "hut" over and over again, and acting like he's about to snap the ball.
He drew San Diego offsides five times last week using exactly this strategy.
Ex-UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel told the LA Times this week that Peyton is using "Omaha" to get more information out of the defense:
"Neuheisel said that Manning will have a code word — a "freeze" call that probably changes every week — that essentially tells the offense to ignore the upcoming Omaha. That way, he barks the freeze word, then "Omaha," in an effort to: a) get the defense to tip its hand on what it plans to do, and b) draw defenders offside."
So sometimes "Omaha" means the snap is coming, and other times it means nothing at all.
While this is the most popular theory, it's not the only one.
On Fox Football Daily last fall, Brian Urlacher and Randy Moss did a segment on what random code words typically mean. They said "Omaha" tells the offense to run the play to the opposite direction.
"Omaha means you're going opposite, " Moss said. "So wherever the play was [originally], they're going the opposite."
If you've ever played the Madden videogame, "Omaha" is essentially the "flip play" button, at least according to Randy Moss.
In the end, it's often a signal that the snap is coming. But it could be anything (or nothing) at any different time.
Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty probably had the best take out it (via The Boston Globe):
"As a defense we can't be out there saying, 'We heard him scream this, it must be that play,' because they have different plays off the same word, that same track. So for us it will be kind of sticking to what we have planned, what we're doing or whatever particular play we're in or whatever defense we're in and sticking to that and not trying to outsmart ourselves and guessing things and doing our own thing."

General Comments: Futures were mixed to mostly a little lower yesterday. It still seems that New York is trying to form a low in this area. Some support came from news that Colombia Coffee farmers will not deliver as they seek higher prices for crops and some support came from even more reports of severe rust damage in Central America. Reports of rust in Central America and the production cuts that it is causing are getting more attention. For now, it looks like Central America could lose at least 20% of the total crop this year and more next year. Losses next year could be 30% or more of the crop. Guatemala is now saying it could lose half of the crop next year. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting drier weather for the developing crop. There is some talk the drier weather could stress trees. Production ideas remain big there. Vietnam producers there talk about the potential for 25% crop losses due to prolonged drought in the Central Highlands. India might lose 5% of its Robusta crop due to unseasonal rains at harvest time. Central America crops are mostly harvested. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are lower today and are about 2.682 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 132.52 ct/lb. Brazil should get scattered showers through Wednesday, then mostly dry weather. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to above normal. ICE said that 0 contracts were delivered today against March futures and that total deliveries for the month are 101 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 141.00, 137.00, and 134.00 May, and resistance is at 145.00, 147.00, and 149.00 May. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 2110 and 2145 May. Support is at 2070, 2040, and 2010 May, and resistance is at 2110, 2130, and 2140 May. Trends in Sao Paulo are mixed. Support is at 180.00, 178.00, and 177.00 September, and resistance is at 183.00, 185.00, and 187.00 September.
General Comments: Futures closed higher in New York, and higher in London. It seems that demand for White Sugar is good right now and that has supported London for now. Chart trends in London are now up, but trends in New York are down. But, big supplies of Sugarcane and Raw Sugar keep new York from participating in the rally, at least so far, and the market remains in a sideways trend even though trends are trying to turn up. Brazil said it will increase the ethanol in its gasoline blends in May, and this could help work off a lot of the surplus production in Brazil and could tighten world balance sheets. Production has been strong in Brazil so far this year, and reports say that the new crop production looks to be strong as well, so the diversion into more domestic ethanol use will help. However, some Brazil production areas have been too dry in the south, so the production could suffer. Recent rains were beneficial, and more rain is possible in the region this week. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong. Chart patterns now show that a rally is possible, with London likely to be the leader in any rally attempt.
Overnight News: Mostly dry weather expected in Brazil. Temperatures should be near to below normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1820, 1810, and 1795 May, and resistance is at 1860, 1875, and 1900 May. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 515.00 and 528.00 May. Support is at 512.00, 506.00, and 502.50 May, and resistance is at 517.00, 520.00, and 522.00 May.
General Comments: Futures closed a little higher yesterday. Market trends are still down overall, but ideas are that the market can turn higher now that the main harvest in West Africa is about over. Short term trends have turned sideways as futures settle into a consolidation pattern. The weather was warm and dry in West Africa this week, but temperaturas are not extreme. Hot and dry winds now could hurt the mid crop production and also hurt some development of the crops for next year. For now, traders expect good mid crop production from West Africa. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Traders are starting to look ahead and past the midcrop harvest and note that the market could move to a production déficit next year. More buying is being noted in deferred months at this time due to smaller production ideas for the coming crops.
Overnight News: Mostly dry conditions are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of scattered showers, but Malaysia will be drier this weekend. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get scattered showers and warm temperatures. ICE said that 15 contracts were delivered today against March contracts and that total deliveries for the month are now 826 contracts. ICE certified stocks are sharply higher today at 4.429 million bags.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 2100, 2085, and 2050 May, with resistance at 2155, 2190, and 2210 May. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1415, 1405, and 1390 May, with resistance at 1435, 1450, and 1475 May.
