Transportation Committee Page
As energy prices remain high and our state's economy continues to sag, Ohio needs clean, green, and economically viable transportation options more than ever. Our state is the fourth largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and the transportation sector produces about one-third of this pollution. Forced reliance on the automobile puts greater financial stress on Ohio families, increases oil dependence, damages the environment, harms public health, and limits the mobility of citizens, particularly seniors, students, the disadvantaged, and the disabled. Meanwhile, Ohio spends less than 1% of its transportation dollars on public transit. Visit our Transportation Committee page to learn more about our efforts and how to get involved.

SEC charges ex-Fannie, Freddie CEOs with fraud
Friday - 12/16/2011, 12:58pm EST
By DEREK KRAVITZ
AP Business Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged six former top executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with civil fraud, saying they misled the government and taxpayers about risky subprime mortgages the mortgage giants held during the housing bust.
Those charged include the agencies' two former CEOs, Fannie's Daniel Mudd and Freddie's Richard Syron. They led the companies when the housing bubble burst in late 2006 and 2007. The four other top executives also worked for the companies during that time.
The case was filed in federal court in New York City.
Lawyers for Mudd and Syron couldn't be reached.
Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about half of U.S. mortgages, or nearly 31 million loans. The Bush administration seized control of the mortgage giants in September 2008.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Ethanol Yield Enhancement Patent Granted to Hydro Dynamics, Inc.
Hydro Dynamics, Inc. announced today that it has been granted a patent covering its ShockWave Power Reactor technology for ethanol yield enhancement.
Rome, GA (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
Hydro Dynamics, Inc. (HDI) of Rome, Georgia (http://www.hydrodynamics.com) announced today that it has been granted a patent (US Patent Number: 8,430,968) covering its Shock Wave Power Reactor (SPR) cavitation technology for ethanol yield enhancement.
The Patent covers the application of the SPR cavitation reactor to provide ethanol yield enhancement in the fuel ethanol industry. SPR technology uses the pressure fluctuations produced by controlled cavitation to liberate entrapped starch and sugar from corn, making them more available for conversion to ethanol during the fermentation process.
"HDI has partnered with Phibro Ethanol Performance Group to market our SPR cavitation technology to the ethanol industry," explains Kelly Hudson, CEO of HDI, "Phibro´s technical expertise and extensive customer relationships make them an excellent partner to work with to introduce our technology."
"This patent strengthens our already strong intellectual property portfolio. We believe we have several competitive advantages to offer the ethanol industry that will increase value for our customers," said Doug Mancosky, VP of R&D of HDI.
About Hydro Dynamics
Hydro Dynamics is the developer of a patented cavitation process intensification technology called the ShockWave Power Reactor (SPR), enabling customers to solve critical mixing and heating problems. Reactors are operating on four continents with well-known customers in applications as diverse as increasing biogas yields to mixing petroleum drilling mud to more efficient homogenization and pasteurization of liquid eggs. The ShockWave Power Reactor allows customers to significantly decrease costs and increase profits, often with environmental and safety benefits. Learn more at http://www.hydrodynamics.com.

Meet Dos Equis' 'Most Interesting Man in the World' [Video]
You definitely know the face, but you probably don't know the name.
You definitely know the face, but you probably don't know the name.
Canada continued its dominance over the U.S in Olympic men's hockey on Friday. Here's a recap of all the day's action in Sochi:
Beauty most definitely is in the eye of the beholder.
Ralph Waite, a fixture on American TV screens during the 1972-1981 run of 'The Waltons,' died Thursday. He was 85.
If you're like millions of other Americans, you'll be competing in a Super Bowl pool this weekend.
If you want to be unlike millions of Americas and actually win, you'll watch this video.
A shooting at a suburban shopping mall in Maryland has left at least three dead, according to authorities.
New this weekend: the latest update of a classic horror tale, and a critics' darling and multiple Golden Globe-winning drama expands to theaters across the country.
A report of shots fired on the campus of the University of Oklahoma came in at 11:17 a.m. CST. Police are on the scene; no victims have been reported as of yet.
Oscar nominations came out Thursday morning, with films like 'American Hustle' and '12 Years a Slave' leading the way.
You can probably bet that none of this weekend's new releases will figure into next year's Oscars. However, that doesn't mean there won't be something you like.
The four films opening widely on Friday cover a wide range of genres and styles, a little something for everyone.
Going to the movies turned out to be a deadly excursion for one Florida man.
Shots were fired at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell, New Mexico, Tuesday morning.
Long before the Dell dude, the Budweiser wassup guys or Jared there was Clara Peller.

South Melbourne Oral History Project Collection
Image: Pot Holders in Holder
Source: Museum Victoria
The South Melbourne Oral History Project Collection comprises 24 interviews, 1754 pages of interview transcripts and 257 objects collected in conjunction with those interviews. The project was curated by Liza Dale, with Karen Twigg as oral history coordinator. Marilyn Lake was the Latrobe University supervisor; students conducted the interviews. The project was funded by the Victorian Women's Trust.
In the late 1980s, plans were underway for the Museum of Victoria (later Museum Victoria) to move from its location on the site of the State Library of Victoria to a new facility at Southbank, adjacent to South Melbourne. In preparation for the move, a project was initiated to explore the history of the local community in South Melbourne and develop links to that community. Although Museum Victoria eventually made its home in Carlton Gardens, the legacy of the South Melbourne Project endures.
In the course of the project, 23 people were interviewed: 21 women, two men and a couple together. The interviews focussed on home life and work in the home, including: courting, marriage, first home, childbirth, child rearing, birthdays, kindergarten and school, social life, neighbours, holidays, entertainment, radio, first television, furniture and ornaments, housework, shopping, domestic appliances, weekly routine, food and food storage, food deliveries, nutrition, budgeting, washing clothes, clothes/sewing and work outside the home. The interviews covered much of the 20th century in span, from World War I until the 1980s.
The objects in the collection include clothing, handcrafts (including knitting and crochet patterns), food preparation and serving equipment, and games.

Review: Far Cry 3
Ubisoft Montreal are back with their forth Far Cry release over the years, their last being Far Cry 2. The series keeps it's open world roots only with a change of location, characters and a few tweaks to make one of the finest Far Cry titles to date as well as a late contender for game of the year.
You play as Jason Brody, an American College student who has gone on a bit of an adventure holiday with some friends and family. They decide to do a skydive when all of a sudden it all goes a bit pear-shaped – the next thing they know Jason and his brother Grant are locked in a cage being tormented by the insane pirate leader Vaas. After a few events which I won't go into detail here, you end up on your own in the middle of Rook Island, left to fend for yourself and on a mission to find and rescue your buddies.
The story is a pretty basic affair but through the help of some fantastic voice acting and motion capture, it'll keep you captivated all the way. The performance by Vaas in particular is a highlight, his nature of insanity makes him a perfect villain, as well as his Bond-villain style nature of elaborate killings, rather than just pulling a trigger.
The missions themselves vary from the odd to the heart-racing. One moment you'll be doped up on mushrooms trying to trek through a cave, the next you'll be firing grenades at chasing cars. The story as a whole is a thrill ride from one moment to the next but even I found myself getting distracted by the wonders of Rook Island.
In fact, for the first 10 hours or so, I'd only done a handful of missions, I'd spent most of that time exploring the wonders of the island as well as practising some professional grade bow skills, my weapon of choice for most of the island exploring. As you can probably imagine there's plenty to do on the island, capture radio towers, take on enemy outposts, stab a tiger and much, much more.
All over the map there's radio towers, these need to be captured in order to reveal more of the game's gigantic map. The towers themselves are a mini-jumping puzzle as you have to work out which route to take to get to the junction box at the top. These aren't too tricky for the most part, they mainly involve going up ladders and finding the correct point to climb up.
Once you have the tower, you can then see where the rest of the distractions lay within that area. As the majority of the island is controlled by pirates you'll have to takeover their outposts to take that area of the island back. Unlike Far Cry 2, these outposts don't respawn so once you capture it, it's yours forever. They are also used as fast travel points to make moving around the island that little bit easier, you can also buy/sell weapons, save and pick up extra missions off the notice board.
These missions come in a few varieties, the main being Hunter missions and Assassination missions. Hunter missions ask you to take out a specific animal with a specific weapon within a certain area. Assassination missions require you to kill a certain enemy with a certain weapon. These will reward you with XP, money and in the case of a few of the Hunter missions, rare animal skins.
In order to upgrade your equipment you'll need to grab some animal skins. Need a bigger wallet to carry more money? Go skin a pig. Want to hold more arrows? You'll need to find a goat. Each piece of equipment has a few levels which you can upgrade, requiring a different animal skin each time. The final one usually requires a rare animal skin, which you'll gain from the Hunter missions. The crafting is fairly straight forward, once you have the skins you need you just have to open up your menu, select the upgrade you want and click OK – there's no need to go to a crafting bench and no mini-game, you can do it any time, any where.
Bags and wallets aren't the only thing you can craft, you can also grab some flowers and create syringes that'll aid you on your quests. Green plants can create health syringes, yellow flowers will create hunting syringes – these can attract animals or repel them – and so on.
Of course, a Far Cry game wouldn't be a Far Cry game without a few weapons. There's everything you'd expect here, from pistols to RPGs – as well as the infamous bow. Weapons can be bought from the relevant areas on the island, you can also buy upgrades such as new sights and silencers as well as new paint jobs, should you so wish. As you capture radio towers you'll be given weapons to use for free, you just have to go and equip them at a shop.
You'll feel most at home in Far Cry when you're face down in the dirt, scouting an area, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike on an enemy. Jason comes equipped with a camera which can be used to scout an area, doing this marks out the enemies and animals which means you can track their movements. Stealth is key and you'll be rewarded with more XP should you capture outposts without being seen or take out an enemy silently. The bow is one of the better weapons to do this with, it'll take a bit of getting used to but eventually you'll be taking out foes from over 100m by judging the arrow drop correctly – there are few things more satisfying than a correctly judged arrow kill.
There's three main factions in the game, near the start of the game you'll be taken in by a group called, the Rakyat. Of course, there's the evil pirates but on top of this there's the animals, they just don't know they're in a faction. Animals are literally everywhere, most are friendly and will run away when you get too close, others are not so friendly. One moment you'll be hiding in a bush, waiting for an enemy patrol to pass by, the next there will be a tiger 10ft to your left and you don't want to fight a tiger if you can avoid it, they're pretty tough.
Of course, this can work in your favour. If you see a patch of enemies or even an outpost, you can try to lure foes towards the carnivore's location in a hope that they'll do the dirty work for you. Some outposts even have caged animals in the middle of them, shoot the cage and you'll free the beast, then you can just sit back and watch the carnage unfold.
Speaking of the Rakyat, when you join them they'll give you a tattoo to welcome you into their clan. This tattoo represents the current skills Jason has unlocked – as you complete missions and level up, you'll be able to buy new skills which will add a new tattoo to your arm. These skills include things like, new takedown moves, more health, faster swimming speed and so on.
Outside of the single player you have co-op and online multiplayer. The co-op can be played online or locally and consists of four characters playing out missions, similar to those in the story mode. The online multiplayer is what you'd expect, it has loadouts, kill streaks etc. As well as the standard set of modes, with a few varieties. The map maker also makes a comeback, allowing you to share your creations with friends and so forth. Unfortunately at the time of writing I was unable to try the co-op or online multiplayer as there was no one playing it as it's before release.
It's not without it's downsides though, on consoles the frame-rate isn't the greatest at times and there is the occasional pop-in/out of trees and bushes. Also there's a lot of button prompts for skinning animals, clibming ledges and so on. These can be a bit hit and miss at times and can require some precise movement for the prompt to come up – no good if you're underwater trying to skin a shark. However, these things are likely to ruin your enjoyment of the game. Also, the outposts can become a bit of a drag after a while as they're all much the same, it'd be nice if there was a bit more variety when it comes to these. Of course, if you get bored there's also a few mini-games to mess around in, these come in the form of Poker and knife throwing contests etc. There's also racing trials, supply drops – where you have to reach the goal within a specific time – and leaderboard challenges. These are basically small trials where you have to kill as many enemies with certain weapons and so on – they offer a nice variety for a couple of minutes.
Far Cry 3 is an incredible title, from the story to the sheer amount of things you can do on the island, it'll keep you entertained for hours upon hours. The variety in missions is fantastic and you could try the same thing 10 times and you'd probably get a different result each time, from planting an arrow in a guys face from 100m to having to outrun a pack of leopards who you unfortunately bump in to. It's a very late addition to the game of the year short-list but it's well worth its inclusion.

LONDON(11th May) Newly crowned European Lightweight champion John Murray has set his sights on an all British mega fight against WBO interim title challenger Kevin Mitchell later this year.
After landing successive killer body shots with his hooks and uppercuts Murray proved far too strong for brave warrior Welshman Gary Buckland when the referee Marcus McDonnell stepped in and stopped the fight with 1 minute and 14 seconds remaining of the 11th round..
Hats off to Gary, he is one tough fighter. I wish him all the best for the future; I believe he will be winning titles soon. Murray said after his tough encounter.
Murray also claimed the Lonsdale belt outright at the Kingsway Leisure Centre, Widnes on Friday night live in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Manchester based Murray who has taken his record to 29 0 (17ko) believes he is ready to mix it with any lightweight in the world right now.
"Mitchell fights Katsidis this Saturday and there's no reason why I can't fight the winner, I believe I am capable of taking out either of these two in style" said Murray.
"I've won the European title and secured the Lonsdale belt outright and now want to start mixing with these guys. Both are strong warriors but I would love to fight either of them
Im very proud to become European champion and Ive done everything the right way. Ive been WBC youth world title holder, Young Boxer of the Year, English and British champion and now European champion so the next step is world titles.
To add to his achievements Murray was ranked number 10 in the Ring Magazine just over 3 weeks ago.
It has been a great few weeks, in April I broke into the Ring Magazines top ten and now added the European belt to my collection, hopefully after a defence of my European title later this year I can secure a shot at a major World title. Murray said.
Promoter Mick Hennessy said John showed what a great all-round fighter his is on Friday as well as his ferocious trademark attacking style; he also showed great boxing ability. I believe he can beat whoever is put in front of him at World level.
"I wouldn't duck any fighter and neither would Mitchell, so if we can get this fight on it would prove who is the best lightweight in Britain and would also be a massive crowd pleaser for the fans." added Murray
John Murray wants all-English world title fight with Kevin Mitchell
By Michael Emons - JOHN Murray claimed the European lightweight belt and immediately set his sights on an all-English world championship clash with Kevin Mitchell. Manchester-based Murray, 25, won the vacant European title on Friday with an 11th round stoppage of Cardiffs Gary Buckland in Matchroom Sports latest boxing show. Murray also held on to his British belt with a dominant performance at the Kingsway Leisure Centre in Widnes. However, Murray now wants to fight the winner of next Saturdays WBO world title clash between Londoner Kevin Mitchell and Australias Michael Katsidis.
Mitchell fights Katsidis and theres no reason why I cant fight the winner Id love to, said Murray in an exclusive interview with MatchroomSport.com.
I shouted out Katsidis after the (Jon) Thaxton fight and Mitchell has come up a weight but now Im back on the map and its time for me to kick on.
Ive won the European title and want to start mixing with these guys. Both are strong warriors but I would love to fight them.
I think Mitchell can out box Katsidis but Im not bothered who wins, I just want to fight the winner.
Mitchell is doing it the right way by taking chances and not avoiding anyone.
Full credit to him as he wants to fight the best to be the best so he is a man cut from the same cloth as me.
I wouldnt duck anyone and neither would he so it would be a massive fight for us, the fans and a massive fight for Britain.
Friday nights contest, which was broadcast live on Sky Sports, was the first time Murray had been in action since October but he did enough to extend his undefeated record to 29 fights.
It was a good performance considering the amount of time Ive had out of the ring and I was pleased to get the rounds under my belt against a strong, ambitious kid, added Murray.
It wasnt a vintage performance but still good enough to grind out a win and thats what you need to do.
Sometimes I thought I had him going and I couldve picked up the pace and started putting the shots together cleaner. But I was pleased and didnt lose a round.
Buckland had only lost one out of 19 and this was his big opportunity. Against a strong kid I had to show my quality and thats what I did I showed my class.
It was a tough night at the office but I did what I had to and got a stoppage.
Im very proud to become European champion and Ive done everything the right way. Ive been WBC youth world title holder, Young Boxer of the Year, English champion and now European champion so the next step is world titles.
Ive just broken into Ring Magazines top ten so Im nearly there.
Matchroom Sports next boxing show is Prizefighter Super-Bantamweights on Saturday, May 29 at the York Hall in Londons east end.
Former WBC bantamweight world champion Wayne McCullough is among the entrants and tickets are on sale from 01277 359900.

Several times, more than I can count, I would get the weekly freebie, or a cheep intro, or use a GC or a Voucher or buy a FastGrab item; purchasing things I was not in a hurry to download and install; I would not get around to downloading the product and the download would expire.
I only want to see the things I never downloaded and reset them so I can get them; how do I do that?
I would say I've easily purchased around or over 500 things here and I know how to reset a download, but, I need an easy way to find the many things I never downloaded so I can reset them and get them in my Runtime.
Thanks In Advance

Golden setting standard for women in supercross
Golden believes her riding style is better suited to the longer Supercross stadium races than the indoor Arenacross events. She also prefers Supercross over the outdoor National Motocross series.
And while she is eager to start racing the guys in Supercross, Golden says she will no longer compete in the Women's National races where she first made her mark.
"The caliber of women riders in that division isn't very good right now," she said. "A lot of the better riders are retiring earlier. There's a bigger risk now that you can get involved with someone who doesn't really know what they are doing. That's how you can get hurt."

The San Diego region of the Sports Car Club of America will host its annual stop on the National Autocross tour Saturday and Sunday in the parking lot at Qualcomm Stadium.

My son will be 3 in January and has mild, high-functioning ASD. I have two questions about potty learning, and very open to all suggestions.
- Is now a good time to try?
- What are your favorite strategies?
The background is that he had some interest a few months ago, was sitting on the potty occasionally, both with and without clothes, and peeing in it a few times. I suggested underwear, he was very excited, picked out some with cars, we put them on, and as soon as he peed in them and realized how they felt wet, wanted no more to do with either underwear or potty.
Next we tried going naked. He held it for a long time, was very uncomfortable, and finally went on the floor. A few minutes later he went on the potty. He looked up with a huge smile and said, "I learned to pee on the potty!" But he has never tolerated it since. Major upset if anyone suggests the potty, or underwear, or going naked.
In the last couple weeks, he has seemed more amenable and open to things in general (though not to the potty). Knowing that toddlers/preschoolers often cycle in and out of more easygoing moods, I'm wondering if I should seize this opportunity to try again, perhaps more assertively? In general I lean more toward the "waiting until they are ready" approach, but I know that doesn't always work the same way for kids on the spectrum. Am I going to have to push the issue at some point, and if so, are we at that point now?
I would also love suggestions on what strategies to try. I want him to feel good about this.
At daycare they get stickers for going on the potty – he likes seeing kids get stickers, but hasn't seemed motivated by them himself. In the past he has responded well to kind of a cold turkey approach – eg one day his beloved bottle just "wasn't around," and he really never asked for it. But the resistance already in place regarding the potty makes me think that may not work here.
Finally, from the time he could pull himself to standing, he has always, always pooped standing up. How in the world is he going to transition to pooping on a potty or toilet?
Thank you so much!
Unfortunately I don't have any good suggestions for you, just want you to know I am struggling right there with you.
We started potty learning in the middle of August and are no where close to done yet. DS seemed to catch on pretty fast: I set the alarm for every 15 minutes and took him when it went off. If he went, he got a fruit snack. I was slowly able to increase the time until we were up to about 45 minutes.And he was initiating needing to go. And then we went on a trip. And then another one. Now we have dry days and not so dry days. He is mostly in pull ups b/c he has NO poop awareness at all, and no poop schedule either. There is just a limit to how many times a day I can change poopy underpants! Fortunately he has no issue with the toilet but seems to have lost interest in the whole thing.
My 3.5y old DS1 with ASD just potty learned last month, as in Oct. We had been trying for almost 1.5 years! It obviously was a long, long process and then eventually, it just clicked. We did end up with a no pants rule (or underwear/diaper) at home for a year prior to him potty training. That took a while for him to get used to it. Everything had to move in very gradually steps. So I took away pants in the house but would't ask anything about the potty or him going on it because he would totally melt at the idea. We just cleaned up the messes. Eventually I started having him sit on it for a minute. He would never do anything. Then we started catching some. Eventually he was potty trained at home but not out. That went on for months, we'd put a diaper on him to leave the house and I could never ask out if he had to go, another meltdown. Then suddenly everything seemed to click. he started announcing that he had to go. I took a giant leap and took away all diapers for a long weekend from school. When school started back up, they were interested in helping me in this so we continued with no diapers. He now is reliable, he doesn't wear underwear because he can't pull them down well and and then beginning, he would just pee in them like a diaper anyway.
Potty training DS1 was SOO different then my NST kids They got it in days, he just couldn't manage it. He would melt at the very suggestion of taking off pants, sitting on potty, peeing on potty, peeing on public bathroom potty or grass, etc... We had to move very, very slowly. He also does not respond to bribes, he just doesn't care. And eventually it clicked but it was a very long, frustrating process and honestly, if I could go back and tell myself something, i think I would of just chosen to wait until he was older. I don't know why I started when I did other then my other kids were out of diapers then but he isn't my other children. And there was no forcing the issue with him, I'd get complete refusal or he would not acknowledge me at all.
Thanks PPs for this thread.
We are thinking of starting potty learning with DS too...mostly just because he is at "that age" (almost 2.5), we are sick of fighting with him EVERY time we have to change his diaper and we are expecting a new baby in April. He shows no signs of readiness or interest other than liking the books we got him about going on the potty. He is also HF with mild ASD.
I hope to hear more input and experiences on this topic here as we decide whether or not to even try right now.

Just out of curiosity since your son is on the autism spectrum, what are his specific sensory issues? You may need to work around his sensory issues with potty learning, I had to do that when dd potty learned because she is hypersensitive to auditory and tactile stimuli.
I think three is a good age to start but he may not really get potty learning for quite a while, my daughter learned at 4. With both of my kids the best approach has been giving them lots of potty books, answering questions, and watching some special potty movies, my son adored Elmo's Potty Time while my daughter preferred Potty Power, we just learned about it and nothing more for about 2 weeks. After learning all about the potty they both went naked around the house and I would follow them all over and point out whenever their bodies were showing them signs they might need to use the potty, we then went to the potty and sat down for the length of 1 book. My daughter potty trained herself within about 2 days of doing this, my son took a little bit longer but he was using the potty within 2wks of starting this and he had just turned 3.
Good luck to you!
very good point. We certainly had to work around sensory issues as well. DS1 does not have great balance, he is not able to to pee standing up or balance well on a potty even with a little seat. We bought every little potty out there and the only one that worked well for him is the Baby Bjorn one. We have 3 and kept one in the room with us at all times. One had a permeant place in our living room for a year! He can not tolerate loud noises, I have to flush the big potty with the door closed after he is out of the bathroom. And hence why peeing in any other place but our little potty at home was so difficult to transition out of.
I actually ended up buying a PT book for kids on the spectrum. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932565493/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1885477457&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1QHKA4ZNPGT5ZHWPSRWV
Thank you to everyone! Such helpful ideas and insights. And yes, great point about sensory preferences. My son is mostly a seeker. Has never minded having a wet or dirty diaper (which I why I was somewhat surprised by how much he hated wet underwear. I guess it's a whole different thing). Enjoys (for now anyway) flushing the toilet.
Meant to add before, he is really resisting diaper changes right now. So logically it would be a good time to try something else, but I know this is not about logic.
But I really am curious if I should be pushing to take advantage of this seeming window of opportunity when he seems generally less resistant to trying things. I guess I'm trying to figure out if this window is going to close again, or if it's just going to keep opening wider. If your child started at 3 and learned by 4, do you think if you'd started at 4 he would have also learned at 4, or would it have taken him a year no matter when you started?
DS1 is higher functioning, he does make eye contact and engage with adults. I say it that way because when we've done cognitive testing on him, he seems to test across the board at being just about a year behind his actual age. For all purposes now, he is 3.5 and functions like a 2.5 year old. So I guess realistically. it was awesome that he was potty trained at 3.5! He still is very set in his ways but the older, he gets, the more I can reason (some) with him and sometimes, the more that he is willing to try something new even it it takes several attempts. I think that if we had started at 3 or older, the duration of how long it took him before it clicked, would of been decreased. His maturity is increasingly rapidly these days. Some days I even "think" of him as a three year old. I do think that once he was an older 3, he was more able to understand, when he had just turned 3, he had no clue about potty training.
There is nothing that says once you start potty training, you have to keep at it. You can start, stop, pick up again later if it is not the right time.
I found this very helpful article about toilet learning on the floortime website (icdl).
Take a look! It has really helped me to rethink some things and I think we may try slowly sometime soon.

Thanks! Peony - yeah, we've started and stopped more times than I can count. But helpful to know that for you, the window seems to open wider. Expat, the article is interesting. Still not sure where it leaves me since my boy is so resistant to anything except wearing a diaper (resists underwear, resists naked). Hates taking a break for a fresh diaper, so hates breaking for potty even more. But from reading several of your posts, our sons have some similar characteristics, so I'm very curious to know how it goes for you. Please keep me posted!
As I was almost in tears regarding ds & the potty last night, I remembered this thread and was excited to get to work and share my frustration with others who are dealing with the same thing! I guess I wasn't really in tears but to a point where I don't know where to go!!!! When we first started potty learning ds got it really quickly, we spent 2 weeks focused on it, no resistance, went every time I took him, stretched out to an hr, started telling me when he needed to go, even went by himself once or twice. And then we went away for a weekend, then another one etc. Got on with life you know?
Now he never tells me he needs to go, sometimes wets within the 30 min stretch when I take him and doesn't seem to notice anything.
I will admit that there have been major changes in Nov: I started working 32hrs a week and he is being looked after by a friend 2 days a week, and my mum the other day and still by hubby on his days off as normal. My friend & mum are taking him potty every 45 mins too, but he is wet almost every time. The other thing to note is he is in pull-ups all the time. This is also because of being in different places with different people, and the fact that he has NO awareness of when he is about to poop, and it is easier for the others to change a poopy pull up than poopy underpants.
So I guess I just need encouragement to keep doing what we're doing and hope he gets it again one day. It's just so frustrating that he totally had it (at least the pee part) and now doesn't seam to at all. On the bright side, if he got it once he can get it again right???
This is meant more as a funny story than advise - I doubt it would really work for anyone else, but how it worked for us:
YoungSon was nearly 4, and nowhere near considering the issue. Period. I had brought up the idea any number of times, tried several different approaches, but he was clearly NOT ready. But I was starting nursing school, and I really needed him to be in the same preschool/daycare as his sister, and they had an absolute no-diapers rule. I had less than a week to solve this problem. I am not above a bit of manipulative lying when needed.
I told him he would have to go to the old daycare while BigGirl went to the cool preschool if he wasn't using the toilet. He had no concept that we had moved 700 miles away; he simply did not want to be separated from his sister. He had no idea that this was an empty threat. He literally said only, "Oh, OK", and was instantly and permanently potty trained. Well, not so much overnight, but he never wore a diaper in the daytime again.
On a sort of serious note, YoungSon to this day (at 16) will do almost anything if he understands the reason, and almost nothing if he doesn't get it. He has never benefited from any sort of reward system, couldn't care less about sticker charts, or what others might think of him. Priveleges earned or lost have never been any sort of motivator for him. But when I can explain, in terms he relates to, why it is important that he behave a certain way or accomplish a certain task, he is amazing. Now days, the reasoning comes from within himself, and from the outside world (laws, job/school requirements), more than from Mama, but the result is the same. I have never heard this kind of thinking described in the context of "autistic attributes", but I have seen it in many other kids on the spectrum.
Rhu - mother,grandmother,daughter,sister,friend-foster,adoptive,and biological;not necessarily in that order. Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I had a good life all the way (Jimmy Buffet)
Thank you to everyone! Such helpful ideas and insights. And yes, great point about sensory preferences. My son is mostly a seeker. Has never minded having a wet or dirty diaper (which I why I was somewhat surprised by how much he hated wet underwear. I guess it's a whole different thing). Enjoys (for now anyway) flushing the toilet.
Meant to add before, he is really resisting diaper changes right now. So logically it would be a good time to try something else, but I know this is not about logic.
But I really am curious if I should be pushing to take advantage of this seeming window of opportunity when he seems generally less resistant to trying things. I guess I'm trying to figure out if this window is going to close again, or if it's just going to keep opening wider. If your child started at 3 and learned by 4, do you think if you'd started at 4 he would have also learned at 4, or would it have taken him a year no matter when you started?
I don't think it will take a whole year from whenever you start. Timing is a huge factor. He has to be ready for it, but he will probably not just let you know. You have to keep trying, but wait some time in between attempts. My DS wasn't ready at 3, but 6 months later I tried again a different way. It took about 3-4 weeks of staying home and him going without wearing anything on the lower half. He had to get used to the feeling of him peeing = something coming out of him down there. (I was prepared to clean up the floors and had a Bjorn potty available on every level of the house wherever he was at so he wouldnt' have to travel far to get to a potty.) Once he figured that out, he went to commando style - no underwear - and I put on tight pants so he could feel them everywhere. I used his pajamas at first as they are form fitting. A few weeks of that and he went to using underwear. (I had tried underwear on him once, right after the initial 3-4 week training time, and it seemed to make him think he was in pull-ups again and he peed in them. That's why I had him go without underwear for awhile.)
During this pee-learning time, he always let me know ahead of time when he had to poo, so I gave him a diaper/pull-up for him to poo into whenever he needed it. He also would only poo standing up, and he'd usually run into another room to do it. We solved the pee problem first. It was months later when we solved the poo issue, quite by accident. He had been quite constipated for several days, so I decided to give him one of those baby glycerin suppositories. He immediately said he had to go poo and asked for a diaper, so I just suggested we go to the toilet. I was surprised he gave no resistance to that idea - he probably had to go so urgently. That was it for the poo issue. After that he always went on the potty. Not sure I'd recommend the suppository solution, unless he actually needs one.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
Not trying to hijack here- just want to raise an issue we are having right now. In the past few days we have been letting DS go pants-less before and after bath time- he usually goes poo right before bath time and also pees in the bath as he is getting out or in the bath before he gets out. So we thought this would be a good opportunity to feel him out with the potty. A few times in the past several days he has peed on the floor and gotten terribly upset about the mess. By this I mean he cried for 30 minutes and was only mildly calmed after seeing that we had cleaned up the mess and it was all gone and we had wiped his legs completely down and put a diaper on etc.
DS does get upset about making messes- I don't know how this came about, we don't stress about "spilled milk", paint or crayon on the walls around here. He just hates messes and is not happy until things are back in order- and if they can't be fixed (he broke a cup once and we could not calm him down once he saw that it couldn't be fixed and that we threw it out) he really freaks.
So I think going pants-less is out for us I guess? I worry about his reaction to "accidents" in the training process. His reaction to messes is not something I think he will grow out of- he's been this way for a really long time. I assume it's part of his ASD stuff.
Any ideas? For now I'm regrouping and rethinking strategies. We are taking it VERY slow.
Me 32, loving him 33, more each day. Rad boy, 7/12/10 & Cool gal 4/28/13
I'm a biracial, atheist, humanist, pacifist, anarchist, bibliophile, and educator.
Expat-mama, we were advised to not go pantless with ds since if he got used to that, then he might freak out with having pants on. He is very routine oriented and I understand the reasoning. So, maybe not going pantless for you has a bright side???

I assume you showed him where to put his pee when he has to go? Perhaps it's too soon.
My DS did get upset the first time he peed on the floor, but I quickly showed him where to put his pee the next time. He got the idea, but he still has low sensation of when he has to go. That's why it took 3-4 weeks for us.
ETA: I liked the book: Stress-Free Potty Training by Au and Stavinoha.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
Does your ds have tacitle sensitivity? If he does I would guess that he just doesn't like the sensation of his legs getting all wet. My dd, who has the sensory issues, never cared about getting her pants wet, so the undies/training pants route didn't work at all for her. After we learned all about the potty I told her "we ran out of diapers", and we did go the naked route because it was easier, then I pointed out when her body was showing her she had to go and we did a trial run to the potty.

Predatory Lenders Target Tornado Victims
By Charles Compton, WEKU
Few people can easily cope with the financial burden created by natural disasters. And many victims may be tempted by the quick and easy access to cash promised by pay day lenders. In eastern Kentucky, some firms this week launched special marketing efforts that target disaster areas. Among the volunteers helping in the region's recovery is Skip Little, who's a financial planner from Berea. Little advises folks to steer clear of the bait.

text: A mandatory meeting was held Wednesday for dozens of Lake-Lehman elementary basketball parents to discuss an altercation that occurred between two coaches last week.Lake-Lehman Superintendent James McGovern wouldn�??t give specifics, but he said there was an altercation between two Ross Elementary fifth and sixth-grade boys�?? basketball coaches last week that escalated to a point of concern.The administration suspended play among all elementary basketball teams until sufficient action could be taken. McGovern said the elementary basketball league is run by the district and the school-wide Parent-Teacher Organization, which gives him the power to make such decisions.McGovern was satisfied with the league president�??s decision as to what action to take against the adults responsible for the altercation, but would not provide details.McGovern said the league will also develop a parent guide, coaches�?? guide and a mission for the program.He also lifted the suspension of the program, though some teams have only one game remaining in the season.McGovern said it wasn�??t the first time incidents occurred on the court and said emotions ran high even when his son, now 14, played on a fifth and sixth-grade team two years ago.�??Sometimes when we have altercations, I gather my people together and we talk about it,�?� he said. �??Maybe this is something we should do prior to each season.�?�He brought the parents together to discuss how their actions affect the children and to review the mission of the district�??s sports programs.�??If you�??re one of those people who think the kids aren�??t watching every single thing you do, you�??re wrong,�?� he said.McGovern urged parents to better understand how their actions affect students and how sports help build students�?? character, but the outcomes of games do not matter in the long run.Though McGovern talked to parents pleasantly and told stories about his family throughout the meeting, he had a stern warning for parents at the end of the night.�??Never mistake my kindness for softness, because next time we have one of these incidents, it will be the last,�?� he said.John Blaski, a Ross Elementary third and fourth-grade girls�?? basketball coach, felt the presentation was necessary to remind parents about conduct during games.�??I�??ve got five girls on the court, and five girls behind me, so when I�??m out there, I try to be the middle man,�?� he said. �??If I�??m happy, they will be happy. If I�??m angry, they will be angry. I try to contain myself because they�??ll follow my lead.�?�

Q. Okay...why did you want to be a police officer?
A. Well, I--the process--when I was about a sophomore in college, I felt that it was time to start to kind of look at what I wanted to do for my career so that I could point my studies in that direction, and went to a guidance counselor.
I guess they gave me a big book with all these occupations in it and I started looking through it and came upon police officer and I kind of, you know, decided that's where I wanted to be. I looked at the things police officers did and the type of job they had.
I liked the things--that it was kind of a self-initiated job. You basically did what you wanted to do with not a lot of close supervision. You kind of took credit for your successes and also credit for your failures. I liked that. I liked the aspect of civil service because you were promoted on your abilities and it didn't have a lot to do with politics, political things. I mean, you basically took tests and if you scored higher than somebody else, you got the grade, you got the promotion. I liked the ability. The salary wasn't great, but it was pretty stable. Usually cops when they get hired, you know, it's a 20-year till retirement career. And like I said, even though it's not great pay, it's enough to support a family, that type of thing. So all those things. And I like the ability not to have to work straight Monday through Friday. I kind of before that had worked, you know, nighttime jobs and stuff and I was kind of a nighttime person, so it just fit my--what I wanted to do, my lifestyle.

Born: August 4, 1968
Boasting a warm, finely burnished tone and a robust melodic and harmonic imagination, tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander brings a seasoned veteran's proficiency and poise to his latest recording, Nightlife in Tokyo. As he has on his four previous Milestone albums as a leader, the 34-year-old colossus-on-the-rise approached this new project with an assured and mature musical vision, gracefully sidestepping the novelties and trends that have come to the fore in so much contemporary jazz marketing.
I'm not consciously trying to do things differently from record date to record date, explains the 34-year-old Galesburg, Illinois native. I'm just really adhering to formula of assembling good musicians that I'm comfortable playing with, getting quality material--a combination of originals and standards and perhaps some new arrangements on standard tunes--and trying to make the kind of a recording that a jazz fan or musician can put on and enjoy listening to from start to finish....

There is no denying South Wales' house & techno scene is at an all time high at the moment. So to celebrate we've gathered together the resident Djs of the most prominent nights of South Wales to hold a gargantuan event in Newport and all in the name of charity, this event is looking to help a great cause, Community Music Wales.
SWADE is also looking to bring together like minded people and businesses from in and around South Wales to discuss further developments that can be made with our respective scenes. If you're technical, sound, design, imagery or promotions inclined and you'd like to broaden your clientele base then get involved.
With 2 rooms at 6FU Newport at our disposal, indoors and out, there will be 12 hours of the finest House & Techno South Wales has to offer.
The nights include... Backroom, Cool House, Dogruff, Delete, System 909, Perc, Memorex, Subversion, City Bass, Bareback, Musique, Zero Zero, Eclectric Electric, Rehab, House In The Hills, Radar (Brap FM)
