Ride-along: No murders, one shooting makes it a 'good day' in Englewood

Toriano Clinton rolls up to a curbside memorial for a dead gang member and slows his SUV.
"Hey, Pretty Boy," a middle-aged drug dealer calls to the plainclothes Englewood District cop.
Clinton smiles, even though he hates the nickname.
"Everything cool, cuz?" he says.
The dealer nods.
Throughout his shift on this hot summer night, Clinton will go through the same exchange a dozen times.
Police work in one of Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods isn't only about chasing the bad guys and locking them up.
It's also about connecting with the people you see every day — even the bad guys.
It's about being seen.
It's about doing the mundane things that police Supt. Garry McCarthy is counting on to keep shootings and other serious crimes from happening in the first place: Shooing loiterers off the street corners. Busting up sidewalk dice games. Clearing teenagers out of raucous house parties.
After 11 years in Englewood, Clinton knows the complicated patchwork of gang boundaries and the bosses who control the street crime.
On the street, the crooks and sweet old ladies alike recognize Clinton by his good looks. He's linebacker-buff with a movie-star smile and dreadlocks tied back in a ponytail that bounces behind him as he moves.
"I've built a rapport with a lot of gang members," he says. "They'll give me information."
The one he called "cuz?"
"I arrested that guy before," he says. "I trust no one, even though our conversation was friendly."
When McCarthy came in with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the new superintendent disbanded the old specialized units of black-uniformed officers who used to be sent out en masse to hot spots of violence. Instead, McCarthy put his emphasis on beat cops and tactical officers like Clinton.
He boosted their numbers in Englewood, and he is making sure they have up-to-the-minute information on the 100 well-armed gang factions in the district. The goal: to prevent retaliatory shootings.
Englewood's reputation for violence is well-deserved. This is where three members of Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson's family were gunned down in 2008 and where Officer Alex Valadez was fatally shot while on duty a year later. More recently, teen rapper Joseph "JoJo" Coleman was killed earlier this month in a drive-by shooting possibly connected to an Internet feud with another rapper.
This year, though, the number of murders in Englewood has plummeted by 30 percent, even as the number of killings citywide is up 27 percent.
On a steamy late-summer weekend, Chicago Sun-Times reporters rode along with three shifts of officers to get an up-close look at what they are doing to try to keep a lid on violent crime in Englewood and to get a glimpse of what they're up against.
'Letting them know we're here'
It's Aug. 24, and at 6 p.m. the temperature still tops 90 degrees. Clinton and Officer Matt Mackowiak predict it'll be a bloody night.
"There was a shooting two nights ago," Mackowiak says. "Four people got shot on a porch. Yesterday, they talked about retaliating."
From the station at 63rd and Racine, Clinton steers their SUV toward Beat 713.
"We're scoping out what's going on," Clinton says. "And letting them know we're here."
Mackowiak's been on the beat not even two years, but Englewood's denizens know him. He's the tall, dark-haired white guy in the Cubs cap. What they probably don't know: He's also a former accountant.
"We see the same guys day after day, and we know who they are, they know who we are," Mackowiak says.
The streets are quiet. Clinton and Mackowiak keep moving. They check in with gang members and drug dealers they see on the streets, run off others for loitering and generally chat up the locals.
At 6:44 p.m., they stop at 57th and Throop, where a pile of empty tequila and vodka bottles honor the memory of shooting victim Damien Richardson, a leader of the Mickey Cobras street gang. Richardson didn't live far from that pile of bottles. Early on Aug. 9, shooters on bicycles gunned down the 27-year-old gang-banger — the kind of killing that often brings payback around here.
Just before 7 p.m., Clinton and Mackowiak stop by the site of an Aug. 23 shooting in the district's "East End," where the Black Disciples are strong. Shots fired from a gangway on 56th Place left four people wounded — three men in their 20s and a 15-year-old boy. A stray bullet went through the door of a woman's first-floor apartment.
"If the angle was different, she could have been shot," Mackowiak says.
People linger on a porch that was sprayed with bullets the night before. Clinton nods to them. But there's no time to chat. The radio crackles with a call for backup.
Clinton hits the gas, flips on his lights and sirens, and in no time his unmarked SUV is topping 60 mph on Marquette. Mackowiak gives the all-clear as they burn through intersections, catching up with a chase that ended with other officers holding a drug suspect in handcuffs.
Clinton points out the swarm of squad cars that converged there. In Englewood, he says, "If you ask for a car, you're going to get 20."
On this weekend, there are 70 officers and supervisors working each shift in Englewood. They include officers from other districts who volunteered to work on their day off under an overtime initiative targeting high-crime districts.
Back on patrol, Clinton drives up to a fence at 63rd and Wolcott. It's freshly covered in the Gangster Disciples' trademark cobalt blue. The graffiti proclaim that the "Lick Squad," a gang faction, "Owns This S - - -."
The urban hieroglyphics pay homage to 20-year-old Divonte Young, a gang member shot dead on Aug. 9. Young had pointed a gun at an officer after shooting at gang rivals, and the officer shot Young in self-defense, police say.
"F.T.P," the graffiti say: "F - - - the Police."
Slashed over 'a boy'
For block after block, Mackowiak and Clinton drive through a sea of boarded-up homes. There were 4,000 of them in the neighborhood at last count — many of them used by gangs as hideouts, by the homeless as shelter and by drug users to "cut dope."
On 71st, the officers point out a sidewalk "fashion store" where someone is selling clothes displayed on a mannequin.
Near 67th and Marshfield, they drive past the heavily fortified home of an elderly man called Dollar Poppin — his actual name, after he went to court to get it legally changed.
Outside the Caribbean Bar at 69th and Morgan, they stop to shoo away a woman hawking pub grub — hot dogs, fries and nachos — to bar patrons from an unlicensed kitchen tied to a mobile home.
And near 63rd and Ashland, they chat with a 54-year-old homeless man who says he once worked at the Board of Trade. The man sits in the alley in front of a card table with an empty dummy head from a wig shop. The head is tagged with a six-pointed star and Gangster Disciples mottos, including the five Ps, borrowed from sports and business: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.
Clinton takes a call from his son, and he talks for a bit, passing along some fatherly advice until the police radio cuts short their conversation.
"I'm the father, and you're the son," he says. "I love you."
It's 8 p.m., and the dispatcher is saying someone got stabbed at 63rd and Wolcott near the Lick Squad memorial for Divonte Young. The officers arrive to find Sparkle Herrion, 19, who was a friend of Young, covered in blood from a five-inch gash to her face. She's already in an ambulance.
Clinton and Mackowiak get a tip from a street source that Herrion's attacker is at a house near 66th and Winchester. On the front lawn, they find a chaotic scene of arguing women.
"I'm going to knock your ass out," one woman screams at the other.
The woman tells the cops she's angry because no one there stopped the suspect, Tykia Richardson, from walking over to 63rd and Wolcott to confront Herrion.
The officers find Richardson out back and arrest her, taking care not to bring her back out front, Clinton says, because the other women "would have gone nuts."
The officers hear that the slashing was "about a boy." They want prosecutors to charge Richardson with a felony, but she's charged with a misdemeanor.
"To get aggravated battery, you almost have to kill someone," Mackowiak says.
'Give the city the corner tonight?'
The officers drive past 24-hour chicken joints and hair salons and barbershops that specialize in late-night hairdos for a clubbing clientele.
They spot people hanging out in parks, smoking weed in alleys and drinking from plastic cups on the street.
Along 63rd, guys in three-piece suits mingle with teens without shirts in vacant lots transformed into boozy drive-ins.
Dozens of people are gathered at a gas station under a big yellow sign that says, "No Loitering — Police."
Clinton laughs and says, "They're drawn to it."
The officers, like those on every shift, have orders to target at least one person hanging out on corners designated as drug markets and to bust up sidewalk craps games, which often cause disputes over money that can lead to shootings.
Clinton and his partner stop to help officers arrest five men shooting dice and smoking weed.
Later, they stop to frisk a man at 63rd and Ashland, one of six designated drug hot spots in the district. He's clean, but they document the stop anyway.
Tough-looking guys standing on the street yell to Clinton, "Hey, Pretty Boy."
He smiles and asks, "Boys, you think you could give the city the corner back tonight?" They respond "a-ight" and walk away.
By 9:30 p.m., not a single person in Englewood has been shot.
'Lots of cops'
Sgt. Clinton Sebastian's cop buddies couldn't believe it three years ago when he said he wanted to be assigned to Englewood after earning the three blue stripes on his white shirt.
"When I asked to work midnights, they really thought I was crazy," he says after securing an AR-15 rifle and a bag of supplies — gloves, flashlights and tools — in the back of an unmarked SUV to start his shift at 10:01 p.m.
Sebastian, who grew up near Midway Airport, patrols alone. His job is to help keep beat cops safe, make tactical decisions and press his cops to file their paperwork before the morning shift starts. He usually skips dinner breaks and doesn't stop for coffee.
"It's hard to fall asleep in Englewood," he says. "You never know what's gonna happen."
At 10:39 p.m., a dispatcher reports a "person with a gun, four men fighting."
By the time Sebastian arrives at 72nd and Green, female officers are frisking a gaggle of women and searching a car and nearby bushes for a gun. Nothing turns up.
Police Supt. McCarthy is there, talking to supervisors while poking his teeth with a blue-plastic "flossy."
"Lots of cops, right?" he says, gesturing to the half-dozen cop cars at the scene.
McCarthy is on the streets to evaluate his crime-fighting strategies.
Earlier this year, McCarthy ordered officers across the city to use information from "gang audits" to prevent retaliatory shootings and catch criminals who run away from crime scenes.
The gang audits tell officers "who the victim is, how many associates he has and what gang they're in conflict with — and they can predict where the retaliation will be," McCarthy says.
If the victim is a member of the Black P Stones and a gang audit shows they are in conflict with the Four Corner Hustlers, for instance, "we got to go to Four Corner Hustlers turf and try to stop the next shooting," the superintendent says.
"I think it's going to be groundbreaking," he says.
House parties and 'munchies'
All summer, Englewood District Cmdr. Leo Schmitz has warned his officers about vacant storefronts being rented out on weekends for raging "house parties." He's worried about gunfire erupting.
Now, riding in an unmarked squad car, Schmitz loops past a party at 69th and Bishop and calls for a dozen cars to shut it down.
Clinton and Mackowiak had warned people at the party to leave several times earlier that night, but the people kept coming back.
So officers raid the building. They find 200 people, some in their early teens, crowded inside the shuttered store. The scent of marijuana smoke wafts over the street corner as girls in party dresses and boys without shirts are searched for weapons on the way out.
An angry teen scowls at the the cops, then shouts: "Don't y'all have anything better to do?"
When the scene is clear, Schmitz speaks to the 20 or so officers there.
"Did we find any guns yet?" Schmitz asks. "OK, this thing was going up. It's going up every week, and we're gonna stop it. . . . You see any parties, let us know, and we'll do what we did here."
Sgt. Sebastian sniffs the marijuana-laced air and jokingly asks if anyone is hungry.
"I think I have the munchies," he says, laughing.
Shots a part of life
It's almost midnight, and no one has been shot.
Dispatchers report fights, a robbery on a CTA bus and a call from a man recovering from heart surgery who says his drunken daughter punched him in the mouth. "He told her to get out of his house, or there's going to be a murder," the dispatcher says.
The later it gets on nights like this, when the heat drives people out of their homes, the more likely it is that shootings will start.
"Summers, when kids are out later at certain points overnight, they might see someone they're trying to get," Schmitz says. "And if they see them, they shoot."
Just before 2 a.m., the radio blares: "Shots fired."
Railroad police officers called in the shooting near 55th and Shields, where someone was shot two days earlier.
Six police vehicles arrive. People drinking on a porch yell, "They're shooting on the next block!"
But no guns are found. That happens a lot.
"It's as unpredictable as playing the lottery when there's a call of 'shots fired,' " Sebastian says. "You can get there, and nothing's going on. Other times, I'll be on the corner talking to officers and hear, 'pop, pop, pop, pop,' and we'll get no calls. To some people, it's part of life. They don't care. They check to see if they are shot, and if they didn't get hit, they move on."
After closing time outside the Caribbean Bar, there's a fistfight between drunken women. A hair weave is left in disarray. But no one's arrested.
At 3:20 a.m., a 911 caller says a guy with a gun is driving a purple truck. Officers find a man in a purple truck, but no gun.
At 3:28 a.m., a dispatcher reports a bag of chips is stolen from a gas station.
At 3:41 a.m., a man calls 911 to report a woman cut off his penis near 60th and Peoria. At the scene, officers find a man whose only injury is a stab wound to a hand, near his pinky finger. He's treated for his wound but declines to press charges.
Later, Sebastian checks his in-car computer for calls-for-service waiting to be dispatched.
It's a list that can be four or five pages long on weekends.
Only three words appear on the screen: "No events exist."
The radio is silent.
At 5:15 a.m., Sebastian goes back to the station to make sure an officer involved in a minor scuffle turns in his report before the 6 a.m. shift change.
Not long after, the sun rises without a single shooting overnight in Englewood.
Morning patrol
Tactical Officers Michael Keeney and Walter Ware start the day shift looking for a 6-foot-7 man suspected of killing his girlfriend the day before.
"He practically cut her head off," says Keeney, a former North Shore teacher.
They patrol near 72nd and Morgan, driving through alleys — the preferred route of criminals on foot.
"If someone's carrying a gun or drugs, they're less likely to be walking down the sidewalk," Keeney says.
Through most of the morning, they chase off loiterers; stop a suspicious kid on a BMX bike; pull over a man driving a car without brake lights; search for somebody who stole the metal railings from an abandoned house, and check the railroad tracks where gang-bangers often break into boxcars to steal guns, liquor and other loot.
Keeney and Ware stop two teens suspected of smoking marijuana in an alley near 72nd and Green, but there's no evidence to write a ticket.
At 12:40 p.m., Ware has paperwork to finish, so he's replaced by Officer Kevin Spisak. An hour later, Keeney and Spisak break up a dice game near 63rd and Wood — about a block from where the police had shot Divonte Young.
One man gets away. While the officers search the others, a gambler recognizes Spisak. "You used to work at Home Depot, right?" the man says.
At 2 p.m., they respond to a shots-fired call at 57th and Bishop. The caller says three armed men are hiding in an abandoned building.
The officers arrive to find the home isn't abandoned. And the gunmen — if there ever were gunmen — are nowhere to be found.
Then they respond to two calls involving domestic disputes, including a man trying to stop a woman from leaving by jumping onto the hood of her car.
At 3 p.m., Supt. McCarthy is back in Englewood for a news conference about a series of drug busts.
"We're not winning, we're not losing — we're basically treading water," McCarthy says of the fight against violent crime, before hitting his usual talking points and adding that there isn't "fairy dust that we can sprinkle to make things better."
"This is a process. And it's going to take a long time," he says.
After McCarthy wraps up, neighbors stop to thank him.
'About to run out of lives'
About 30 minutes later — at 57th and Hoyne — Johnny Haygood gets shot.
It isn't the first time.
Haygood has worn a colostomy bag since he was shot five years ago when "someone tried to rob me, and I didn't have anything for him to take."
Spisak says he has arrested Haygood for marijuana possession.
At the corner where Haygood was shot, gang factions have been warring. The officers think Haygood's shooter lives nearby.
They drive to 55th and Winchester — "Winchester Boys" gang turf. They notice how few people are on the street.
"That leads me to believe we know which side's guilty," Keeney says.
The bullet hit Haygood in the back and traveled to his shoulder. A week later, Haygood tells a reporter he doesn't know who fired the shots.
"Everyone went running, and I got hit," he says.
Haygood's older brother, Johnny Black, also has survived multiple shootings — the last one on Aug. 13 — and also wears a colostomy bag as a result.
"I'm not like a cat," Haygood says. "I'm about to run out of lives."
As their shift comes to an end, Spisak and Keeney talk about how they've been to more shootings than they can count. They've confronted more gang members, many with goofy street names such as "Big Dookie," than they can remember. But neither has had to fire his gun.
Keeney says he nearly pulled the trigger once, during a sweep of an abandoned home. He says he was startled by a large figure in the basement — a giant, plush Scooby Doo doll.
"I almost killed Scooby," he admits. "I would have never lived it down."
'Some nights, we hold it'
In all, the three weekend shifts in Chicago's most notorious police district were like "a Wednesday in February," a desk sergeant says afterward.
Officers responded to reports of four robberies, one burglary and one stolen car.
They also made three narcotics arrests and responded to 16 batteries, 10 reports of criminal damage, six thefts, two reports of criminal trespass, one sexual assault, one weapons violation, one call of a "deceptive practice," one liquor-law violation, one offense involving a child and six other reports that didn't fit any specific category.
There were no murders.
And Haygood was the only gunshot victim.
Cmdr. Schmitz says such relatively quiet nights are a reminder that most people who live in Englewood are good, decent folks.
"They are on our side," he says. "They come out and say, 'Thank you.' . . . The protection of life, that's what we're willing to put our lives on the line for."
The next day, and the day after, and every one after that, his officers again will be out, doing what they do.
"Some nights, we're busy as hell," Schmitz says. "And some nights, we hold it. When you go into a battle with the gangs, there's always a possibility you can get shot. There've been a few. . . . We've lost people . . . some friends of mine.
"But overnight, on this night, we were really good."

Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Anxious Cypriots patiently waited in long lines to get at their accounts on Thursday after banks opened for the first time in nearly two weeks, following an international bailout to save the country's financial system.
Fearing a run on its banks, the tiny Mediterranean country has imposed daily withdrawal limits of 300 euros ($384) for individuals and 5,000 euros for businesses -- the first so-called capital controls that any country has applied in the eurozone's 14-year history.
Financial strains are building on families and businesses, and the recession in Cyprus is likely to deepen. The mood outside banks was calmer than feared. Many people said the withdrawal limits were probably necessary to keep a bad situation from spiraling out of control.
Flower shop owner Christos Papamichael was among some 30 people waiting patiently for bank doors to open at noon Thursday. "Everything has been paralyzed ... No one thinks of buying flowers," he said.
Banks had been shut in Cyprus since March 16 to prevent people from draining their accounts as politicians scrambled to save the country's stricken financial sector. ATM machines were working, but with a limit on daily withdrawals.
An initial plan to seize up to 10 percent of all Cypriot deposits caused an international uproar and was scrapped. But in order to secure 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) in loans from other euro countries and the International Monetary Fund, Cyprus agreed Monday to wind down its second-largest bank and seize billions from accounts holding more than the insured limit of 100,000 euros.
European financial markets, which have been on edge for weeks, rose slightly on Thursday. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares rose 0.4 percent, while Germany's DAX index rose 0.1 percent.
Government and bank officials had feared that up to 10 percent of the country's deposits could be siphoned off when banks opened Thursday -- but that did not appear to happen. Guards from private security firms reinforced police outside some ATMs and banks in the capital, Nicosia. No problems controlling crowds were reported.
The limits on withdrawals and other capital controls are expected to be relaxed gradually. Analysts say it's anyone's guess how people and businesses will react once that happens.
Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said that, according to central bank estimates, the controls would be fully lifted in a month. Some analysts say it could last longer.
President Nicos Anastasiades expressed in a statement his "warm gratitude and deep appreciation towards the Cypriot people for the maturity and spirit of responsibility they have shown at a critical time for the stability of the Cypriot economy."
However, many Cypriots were left frustrated and confused by the closures and controls and concerned about the effect on their businesses and livelihoods.
"No matter how much information there was, things were changing all the time," said Costas Kyprianides, a grocery supplier in Nicosia.
For years, the banking sector has been the lifeblood of the Cypriot economy, attracting money from across Europe -- and especially Russia -- thanks to high interest rates and loose regulation. The country's deposits ballooned to more than seven times its economic output. But Cypriot banks ran into trouble after taking massive losses on Greek government bonds.
Now, the country's second-largest bank, Laiki, is to be split up, with its healthy assets being absorbed into the Bank of Cyprus. Savers with more 100,000 euros ($129,000) in either Bank of Cyprus and Laiki will face big losses. At Laiki, those could reach as much as 80 percent of amounts above the 100,000 insured limit; those at Bank of Cyprus are expected to be much lower.
As part of the country's capital controls, no checks can be cashed, although they can be deposited. Anyone leaving the country, whether Cypriot or a visitor, can only take up to 1,000 euros ($1,290) with them in cash.
The country's general accounting office said pensions and other social security payments, together with salaries for government employees, will be in bank accounts next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Many Cypriots struggled Thursday to understand what exactly they could and couldn't do with their money. Television talk shows addressed viewers' queries, which ranged from how they would pay college tuition for children studying abroad to how to handle check payments.
People also wondered whether they would be able to access their salaries, many of which were due this week.
Some analysts are concerned that, if kept in place long, Cyprus's measures will go against the fundamental principle of the single currency: Free and easy movement of money around the euro's 17 members.

How to choose the right Seat?
Here you will find tips and recommendations of our Child Safety Team.
Buying a new car seat
When purchasing a new car seat please consider the following points regarding purchase and installation:
- Seats with "semi-universal certification" are not permitted in all vehicles. Check the seat manufacturer's compatibility list to find out if the seat will fit in your car. In case of doubt, simply ask your car dealership.
- Take both your child and your car to the specialised shop and test the seats to find out which one fits best.
- Child seats should be easy to install!
- Check the length of the seat belts in the back to ensure they are not too short!
- Children's harnesses must be easy to adjust, so that they can be tightened or loosened depending on what the child is wearing.
- The safety seat should offer children who tend to sleep in the car, maximum side support and a comfortable sleeping position (Gr. I) or an adjustable head rest (Gr. II/III).
- Never buy a seat for the child to grow into! Even though three-year-olds are theoretically old enough to sit in a Group II/III seat, they are often too small for it at the time.
- Rear-facing child safety seats must not be positioned on the front passenger seat of cars with an activated front airbag. In this instance, the infant car seat must be installed on the rear seat!
- When buying a new, older and/or used child restraint system, you should always ensure that it complies with the new ECE test standard. The current standard is known as ECE-R-44/04 and reflects the state of the art. The current test label may look like this:
Explanation of the ECE label
The latest version (04) of the test standard has been in force since 2006. However, child restraint systems tested in compliance with the earlier version ECE-R-44/03 can still be used. This standard represents the minimum amount of safety a seat must provide. Seats with test labels ECE-R-44/01 and ECE-R-44/02 or with an "officially approved" label are no longer permitted for use.
- ECE R 44/04: European test standard for child safety seats
- UNIVERSAL: Certification as universal or vehicle-specific
- 9-18kg: Body weight, for which the seat is approved<
- E1: European country designation refers to the country in which the seat was certified
- 04301251: Test number: the first two digits refer to the version of the test standard used: These two digits should either be 04 or at least 03!
Buying a second-hand car seat
Should you decide to buy a used child restraint system, you need to consider the following:
- Be careful when buying a car seat from unknown origin, as it may have already been involved in an accident. Either have it checked by the manufacturer or do not buy it!
- Car seats can age, so make sure you swap your model for the third child.
- Models are often already considered outdated after just three to four years.
What dangers are inherent in using used or old child restraint systems?
Over time, hairline cracks can form in the seat shell as a result of accidents. The fissures are often too small to see with the naked eye, but if the seat is still in use they will gradually get bigger.
A seemingly harmless crack can suddenly trigger a complete material failure. This can occur spontaneously during a car crash due to the great forces to which the seat is exposed to on impact.
Alternatively, these tiny cracks may grow unnoticeably due to other factors, such as constant use or exposure to sunlight, which lead to the slow deterioration of the material over time. Therefore, only use second-hand seats that comply with at least test label ECE-R-44/03, are no older than four years, are of known origin (for example, from siblings, family or good friends) and have never been involved in an accident of any sort, even minor.
Always remember that a used seat must perform and fit the car and child as well as a new seat. Otherwise, it cannot offer sufficient protection!
A child has to be secured with a car safety seat up to the age of 12 years or the height of 150cm. ECE-Standard 44 defines five groups, each of which is designed for a particular weight category. As a rule of thumb, if the child is too heavy or tall for one group, it should move up to the next. We strongly advise parents not to move their child up too quickly, as too large a seat can be just as ineffective in a car crash as one that is too small.
The different groups and the average age of the child using them are displayed in the graph below. It should be noted that the age is not a criterium but should be seen as a guideline, as it refers to the age and weight of an average child. As a result, the weight categories overlap, allowing for added flexibility for those children who do not reflect average trends. This is designed to prevent children from moving up a group too early or too late.
ECE Gruppen-Einteilung unserer Kindersitze
- Aton with Base-fix: Group 0+: 0-13 kg (from birth to approx. 18 months)
- Sirona: Group 0+/I: 0-18 kg (from birth to approx. 4 years)
- Juno-fix: Group I: 9-18 kg (approx. 9 months to 4 years)
- Pallas2-fix: Group I/II/III: 9-36 kg (approx. 9 months to 12 years)
- Solution X2-fix: Group II/III: 15-36 kg (approx. 3 to 12 years)
When should I change to the next group?
The choice of child restraint system depends on your child's weight. Please ensure that the safety belt or harness fits well, since a badly fitting belt can cause serious injury.
From Group 0+ to Group I
Babies should always be secured in an infant carrier for the first twelve months. There is no need to move your child to a Group I seat if their feet are poking out of the bottom or the child can sit up.
However, if the head protrudes above the edge of the carrier and the baby weighs more than 13kg, you should change seats immediately, as the most vulnerable part of the child's body is not protected.
From Group I to Group II/III
Should the child already be too heavy for its current seat and tall enough for a new seat, there is no reason why it should not move up a group. If the child's head is far above the top edge of the seat, you are urged to switch to Group II/III immediately. In this case, the child is often heavy enough to make the change anyway.
The following points apply in establishing whether the seat is the right size
The seat is too small when more than a third of the child's head rises above the seat's top edge or the child's harness in the top setting stretches over the child from an angle below the shoulders. Should this be the case, a car crash could cause serious, if not fatal injury. It is equally important to ensure that the seat is neither too large nor too small. A seat is too large when the harness is far above the shoulders, even in the lowest setting.
Combination seats
Some child restraint systems span several groups; they have the ability to transform into a higher class, allowing them to grow with the child. The usual combinations are between Groups 0+ and I, and Groups I and II/III.
Group 0+/I seats are usually Reboard seats (rear-facing). In this case, the child continues to face the rear, even after they have outgrown the infant carrier. This offers considerable safety benefits over forward-facing systems with integrated harnesses, as the child's neck is not normally strong enough to support its head in an accident. Modern Reboard seats, like the CYBEX Sirona, are designed with a rotating system that gives it the ability to face forward when the child is too old to be facing the rear.
Group I/II/III combination seats have a life span of approx. 11 years. The material is especially designed for long-term use. Provided the owner observes the instructions, a high-quality seat should not suffer any wear and tear. Modern combination seats, such as the CYBEX Pallas 2-fix, offer the ISOFIX function in both groups, thus covering the whole period of use.

Back in 2009, A-Lab won a competition against 40 other entries to design Statoil's new offices. Located in a park-like setting in Fornebu, Bærum, Norway, the office is composed of five rectangular volumes stacked on top of each other. Parts of the volumes cantilever out over the grounds, but the building has a small overall footprint that maximizes the surrounding park space. Each volume is 3 stories high, approximately 140 meters long and 23 meters wide and the building was largely prefabricated off-site to reduce overall construction time. At the center of the stacked volumes is a large airy, light-filled room topped with a glass atrium that serves as the circulation center and meeting space.
The envelope is key to the building's overall energy efficiency – it carefully balances energy loss against solar heat gain and daylighting. The long ends are clad in powder coated aluminum that acts as a rain screen, while the gable ends feature grey solar shading glass from the bottom to the top of the volume. Heat is provided via a remote centralized heat source, and 85% of that heat is then recycled. Overall the building achieves an energy class B rating and it has a calculated energy use of 103 kWh/m2. A-Lab's Statoil office was recently the winner of the WAN 2012 Award for Best Office Building.

With about six months until people can register for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges, states are ramping up their efforts to make sure they're ready in time. New York is well on its way to meeting the October 1st deadline. Our Katie Gibas spoke with insurers and state exchange officials about what still needs to be done before the exchange can open.
NEW YORK STATE -- Rising health insurance costs are a problem for almost everyone.
"There's proven studies that show that people that are uninsured today add to the overall cost of insurance premiums for those that do have coverage," said Jim Reed, the Excellus BCBS Senior VP Marketing and Sales
That's why as part of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate, the government will offer subsidies to help defray that cost. Individuals making less than $45,000 or a family of making less than $92,000 would qualify for help.
"We estimate that about 450,000 New Yorkers will be eligible for tax support and that's annually estimated to be $2.4 billion in help. So it will really go a long way in making coverage more affordable," said Danielle Holahan, the New York Health Benefit Exchange Deputy Director.
The subsidies are only available for people who enroll in state insurance exchanges. Exchanges are like shopping centers where you enroll and choose the policy that best suits your needs.
"We compare it to Expedia. So how you shop for airline tickets or hotels. It's a web-based search engine that based on demographics and income of the individual person return an option demonstration of what is available for that person in that market place," said Reed.
Holahan added, "The intent is to make this a very easy process for you to figure out what your plan options are and what your eligibility for federal tax credits will be. And to come to one front door, be evaluated for eligibility and enroll in coverage."
Exchanges had to be created from scratch and New York is on track to meet the October first enrollment deadline. By April 1st, insurance companies have to submit applications to the state documenting what plans they would offer.
"We will sell health insurance through an individual market through the exchange the same way we do for employers who buy our health insurance coverage today," said Reed.
State officials say the exchange will extend coverage to about one million New Yorkers. And with the more people will come better stability, which should keep insurance premiums in check.
Employers with fewer than 50 employees do not have to contribute to insurance plans, but there are tax credits available if they do. Companies with more than 50 employees do have to provide insurance or pay a penalty.

Wildlife Value
The leaves of the Smoketree are browsed by deer and other big game.
The Smoketree is a native of Eurasia and has long been a favorite shrub or small tree for garden plantings or along property lines and the borders of landscaped areas. It was introduced into America as early as 1656 and by 1790 was commonly available in nurseries. It is a species with many names including Smokebush, European Smoketree, Cloud tree, Wig tree, Mist tree, and Jupiter's Beard, all of which allude to its spent floral plumes and airy clusters of seeds which give the tree a hazy, blurry, or feathery appearance.
The Smoke Tree has some drought tolerance and can withstand wet conditions.
This tree has leaves that alternate on the branches and 1-1/4 to 4 inches long. When crushed, they smell like orange peels. Color varies considerably, both in hue and intensity, particularly in autumn.
Flower Color
The flowers are pink to yellow-pink and are not as notable as the hairs, which turn several shades of smoke-pink, particularly in late summer.
Bloom Time
June -September.
Fruit Description
The fruit is irregular shape, oval, 1/2 inch, brown.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

Someone on Ancestry.com who has some relatives in common with me keeps uploading little images of national flags and attaching them to ancient relatives from before the time of photography. Like, we have no photo of this person, so here is a flag of his country. Too nationalistic for my tastes (oh, Happy 4th! and no, these are not American ancestors, so not really a 4th of July activity).
But because we have these relatives in common, every time one of these flags is uploaded I get a notice that there is NEW INFORMATION! But there's not new information; there's a national flag .gif. *eyeroll*
Maybe this is the ancestry.com equivalent of the person who tweets too much?

'Of Time and the City' is a eulogy to native Liverpool, entering its empty, poverty-struck streets and businesses, roaming around the allies and backstreets, with a gentle splash of contemporary Liverpudlian society along the way, this film is just essential.It's more than a documentary feature; it's a groundbreaking and heart-shattering portrait of one of Britain's most important cities.The film, soundtrack, narration and interviews are all just blissful.Its short (lasting just 72 minutes), tender, nostalgic and just brilliant.It's not going to suit all tastes, but avid film fans will be impressed and satisfied.

Comments about Seattle Seahawks NFL Deluxe Replica Helmet:
The product itself was great. However, I ordered this so I would have it at my Superbowl party. I purchased it on a Wednesday and paid for next day air to ensure it would be here. It was shipped second day air. When I called, the representative said there was nothing that could be done and it was a mistake made in the warehouse. I asked if I could order another one to be shipped next day air and they said no. Not great customer service. I ended up calling back and someone else apologized and agreed to refund the shipping charges. It ended up being delivered on Monday, the day after Superbowl. I doubt I will order from Lids online again due to the lack in customer service.

Business Students/Community Connections Run Deep
Hands-on Experiences Embedded into Courses
May 17, 2013
Senior Isaac Garland speaks with Dana Dunn, Clinton Memorial Hospital's director of community development, at this spring Speed Networking event. After several minutes of sharing pertinent information, students briefly met with another Chamber of Commerce member.
For much of Wilmington College's history, local businesses viewed students simply as potential customers. Today, many of those students are also considered as partners in the businesses' success — and vice versa.
Students in several business courses at the College are charged with class assignments in which they work directly with Clinton County businesses and non-profit organizations.
It's a "win-win," say the Business Department's Dr. Steven A. Stovall and Dr. Angela Mitchell.
"The business owners sometimes go into it thinking, 'They're just college students,' but they often come away with something valuable for their businesses," said Mitchell, associate professor of business administration and area coordinator.
"Our students have bullet points of real experiences on their resumes," added Stovall, associate professor of business administration and holder of the Stolle Chair in Entrepreneurship.
This past spring semester, Stovall and Mitchell instructed courses in Small Business Consulting and Marketing Research, respectively. Each class took on local clients.
Stovall said the idea behind the unique consulting course is to showcase for students the challenges faced by small businesses by assigning them to work on specific projects that the organizations "desperately need but don't have the budget, time or staff to tackle on their own."
The Murphy Theatre's Tanya Snarr was thrilled with the project junior Jacob Spirk completed that featured the implementation of a volunteer database and training video.
"Volunteers from the community are essential to the Murphy and Jacob's work will greatly benefit our volunteers and, in turn, make the theatre experience even better for our patrons," she said.
Alma Plummer, owner/operator of Alma's Cheese Barn at S.R. 73 and I-71, echoed those sentiments, as junior Stacey Volkman helped the business with Website and social media applications, in addition to offering suggestions on signage, billboards and presentation of retail items.
(LEFT) The banquet room at Damon's was filled with WC students and representatives of area businesses and organizations engaged in Speed Networking.
"Stacey is doing a great job. I thank God for sending her to me," Hammond said, noting that Volkman was so interested in the project that she volunteered to continue through the summer.
"It's a win-win as the business finally gets something done that was on the back burner and the student gets valuable real-world experience," he said.
Students in Mitchell's Marketing Research class selected six Wilmington businesses this spring for which they engaged in such activities as conducting customer satisfaction evaluations, test marketing of new ideas/promotions/products, and understanding customer demographics or purchasing habits.
"Business clients don't have the time to work on this research, so our students gain valuable real experience, build their resumes and develop their network of business professionals," Mitchell said.
This past year, students in Stovall's Human Resources Management and marketing faculty member Ellen Novar's Advertising classes also worked with local businesses and organizations.
Mitchell said these experiences differentiate Wilmington College from many other institutions.
"Our students are not taking any different courses than students at other schools, and there are internships everywhere, but we embed hands-on experiences as part of our classes," she said, adding that these hone students' planning, organization and problem-solving skills, and complement what is learned in the classroom.
"They can really experience both the challenge and benefits of working," Mitchell added. "We've had such good feedback: 'Your students are so good. I've worked with students from other colleges and universities, and your students did much better quality work.'"
Stovall noted that his students have had job offers after working with local businesses.
"An employer has two candidates with similar GPAs. How do we make that Wilmington College student stand out? We give them hands-on experiences as part of their classes — that's hard to duplicate at a big school."
Other manifestations of the close relationship between WC and the business community can be seen in this spring's Speed-Networking and Business Breakfast Briefing events.
Members of the Wilmington Clinton County Chamber of Commerce interacted one-to-one with WC students via "speed-networking."
It featured a time sensitive forum in which the students and the prospective employer shared with one another the most pertinent information within a five-minute period. When the bell rang, the students moved to speak with another businessperson and continued these timed interactions for about 45 minutes.
A less frenetic event is the Business Breakfast Briefing, at which business leaders enjoy breakfast at the College while meeting casually with faculty and offering insight into such topics as resume strategies, communication expectations and other proficiencies that employers are seeking from new college graduates.
"That type of interaction with persons in the business community makes us better professors," Stovall said. "We're out shaking hands and learning what's on their minds."
Mitchell concurred. "Business as a discipline changes all the time. We want to know we're teaching the right things and these interactions keep us closer to what we're teaching."
Coming June 6, the College will host the monthly Economic Alliance breakfast meeting.

Andrew Mollenbeck, wtop.com
ARLINGTON, Va A special mission to deliver toys to areas hit hard by Superstorm Sandy stopped at Reagan National Airport Monday afternoon to pick up additional donations.
The Blue Angels arrived in a C-130 cargo plane, dubbed Fat Albert, to load presents that will go to kids in New York and New Jersey.
Marines, "Santa" and other volunteers helped load the donated gifts.
Organizers say $700,000 worth of toy donations are being delivered to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey for distribution.
"Sandy threw a whole new dimension into this year's Toys for Tots campaign," says Lt. Gen. Pete Osman, president of the Toys for Tots Foundation.
"I think it sends a message to those folks that have been affected that the American people care," he says.

Happy Halloween. This year I headed to Jesse Willesee's Haunted Hotel party in Kings Cross with new friend and fellow fashion blogger Messy Carla who is here from the UK for a year. Carla borrowed my awesome new neon cat ears from Shop With Romi and painted her face like a kitten for an easy yet fun costume. I went for a 'day of the dead' look as I wanted to incorporate my new DI$COUNT bones tee cos its frigging awesome that's why.
The Haunted Hotel was decorated in typical Halloween fashion with skeletons, spider webs and grave stones galore.
Models posed in live fashion shoots set up throughout the 5 levels.
Not all of them were Halloween themed, like this one was by Sydney stylist Jay Millionaires.
Or this one by Well Hung.
My friends at my fave Sydney boutique ESTATEofMIND showcased their signature style at their live fashion shoot.
Meow indeed!
Spotted a girl in a DI$COUNT top and just had to take a photo for Nadia and Cami back home in Melbourne. Its so exciting to see people out wearing your friends designs, especially here in Sydney where people don't seem to take fashion risks.
Awesome hair.
Dino the last Dinosaur.
Contrary to Henry's belief I was not the only person in facepaint on the night, BUT I was the only person in bad quality $2 shop facepaint that never dried and melted off within a few hours, which was a good look I tells ya.
Taken at home before my facepaint melted off my face (although I did have to blow my nose just before this photo was taken which did smudge it a lil bit).
I wore
Bones tee DI$COUNT
Mexican skirt ASOS (now sold out)
Lace shawl Had it on hand from a photo shoot
Flower headband DIY
Embroidered belt Old opshop find
Socks Happy Socks
