Banding volunteers tagged 56 mallards during a recent morning at a DNR-organized duck banding event at Collins Marsh.

It was 4:45 a.m. when we climbed into the camouflage box blind. As some flickers of light began to appear in the jet-black sky and our eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, we caught our first glance of the mounds of corn by the open water used to attract the ducks we were attempting to trap and band on that crisp morning of Aug. 15.
Raccoons were the first animals on the corn, or "duck cocaine" as Kyle Christianson, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wildlife technician in charge of the Collins Marsh duck banding efforts would call it.

Don't 'murder' your crape myrtles
Properly pruned crape myrtles are structurally sound beautifully shaped and bloom abundantly from late spring to early fall. (Photo by Allen Owings)
News Release Distributed 01/27/14
By Allen Owings
LSU AgCenter horticulturist
HAMMOND, La. – We are midwinter in Louisiana, and this is the time when people think about pruning crape myrtles. Unfortunately, these are one of the most abused trees in Louisiana's residential and commercial landscapes.
Crape myrtles need only occasional pruning, in most cases, to obtain the desired landscape effect. But many times these plants are butchered for no good reason.
An unfortunate trend in crape myrtle pruning is to "lop off the tops," which results in a crew-cut appearance. The lush growth that occurs at these cut sites appears vigorous but is actually structurally weak and is more susceptible to fungus diseases such as powdery mildew. Worse yet, when pruning is done improperly over several seasons, unsightly large, swollen knobs form at the point where pruning is done each year. Some folks refer to this pruning method for crape myrtles as "crape murder."
While crape murder does not actually kill a tree, why are these most popular, small, flowering trees pruned this way?
The method of cutting back the main branches of a tree to the same spot every year is called pollarding. This pruning method is used on some types of trees in certain situations and tends to be more common in Europe than America.
A gardener should understand, however, that the life of a crape myrtle is shortened and the natural beauty of the tree is destroyed by this pruning technique. If gardeners understand this and still decide pollarding creates the appearance they desire for their trees, well, that's their choice.
We often encounter gardeners who think they are supposed to prune their crape myrtles that way. Nothing could be further from the truth. For the overwhelming majority of us, enhancing the natural shape of our crape myrtles is most appropriate.
Some gardeners have been told that crape myrtles need to be pruned that way to bloom well. This is not accurate. The flower clusters may be larger on pollarded trees, but the added weight on the ends of long branches causes them to bend over awkwardly, especially after rain. And because the tree is smaller, it actually produces fewer flower clusters.
Sometimes crape myrtles are pruned improperly to create a different shape.
A wide selection of crape myrtle varieties is available today. Some grow tall and upright like a vase, while others are shorter and spreading, having more of an umbrella or cascading affect. You cannot make an upright-growing crape myrtle grow into other shapes by cutting it back. The new growth will simply grow upright again. So if you want a crape myrtle that will mature in the shape you desire, make sure you choose one that naturally grows that way.
Many gardeners cut back crape myrtles that are too large for the location where they were planted. This is commonly seen in trees planted close to a house. Instead of choosing a smaller-growing variety that would be appropriate, a larger type was planted, and then it begins to grow into the gutter and roof.
To salvage the situation, people often begin cutting their trees back. To be effective, this has to be done every year. And again, it ruins the natural beauty of the tree. This is added work that could have been avoided by planting a smaller-growing crape myrtle.
For instance, if you want a white-flowering crape myrtle planted at the corner of your house, it would be more appropriate to select Acoma, which matures at 10 feet to 12 feet, rather than Natchez, which matures at 25 feet to 30 feet.
To prune a crape myrtle properly, first decide if it needs to be pruned at all. As with any pruning project, you must have a specific purpose in mind before you begin. If you can't come up with a good reason to prune your tree, leave it alone. If you do see something that calls for pruning, study the tree carefully and determine what needs to be pruned to accomplish the specific purpose you've identified.
Examples of appropriate reasons for pruning include eliminating crossed and rubbing branches, removing low branches, removing weak, thin branches from the inner part of the tree, trimming off old seed pods, creating a shapelier tree and keeping suckers removed from the base of the trunk.
Avoid cutting back or shortening branches larger than your finger, although cutting larger branches back to a side branch or to the trunk, when needed, is fine.
With its smooth, muscular trunks, peeling bark, filigree of leafless branches in the winter and exceptionally long blooming season in summer, the crape myrtle is rightfully popular here. Make sure you keep yours looking their best.

|Seasonal variation in admissions of psychiatric patients and its relation to seasonal variation in their births.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 262589 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Inpatient admissions to all psychiatric hospital beds in England and Wales in 1970-73 were studied by month of admission for eight diagnostic groups. The admission rates for schizophrenia showed a pronounced seasonal variation, with a maximum in summer. The seasonal pattern for schizophrenia was very similar to the one shown for mania, although somewhat less marked. The admission rates for neurosis and for the large group of 'all other non-psychotic mental illness' showed little evidence of seasonal variation as there was could largely be explained by social factors. In schizophrenic and manic patients, the pattern of seasonal admissions (peak months July and August) is similar to the pattern reported for their births (peak months February and March). This is consistent with the hypothesis of an abnormal seasonal pattern of parental conception as the cause of the abnormal birth pattern.

Sean Hannity ignored new reports that Republican Rep. Darrell Issa (CA) directed the Treasury Department's inspector general (IG) to "narrowly focus" its audit of the IRS' assessment of tax-exempt status requests to focus on tea party organizations, falsely claiming that "new claims by progressive groups that they were targeted by the IRS are in fact, false."
On the June 26 edition of his Fox News show, host Sean Hannity attempted to resuscitate the dying right-wing media narrative that the improper IRS targeting of groups was directed by the White House in an effort to punish opponents, by citing an IG audit of the IRS which found that some conservative groups received improper scrutiny when seeking tax-exempt status. Hannity dismissed reports that progressive groups had received similar scrutiny and the IG's investigation had been directed by House Republicans, citing the IG report in an attempt -- as he put it -- to "correct the record" saying: "If you've been paying attention to this scandal you know that the inspector general report outlined very clearly the distinct ideological imbalance."
Hannity concluded by asking: "If progressives were unfairly targeted, why didn't anyone say so earlier?"
A June 25 Hill article answered Hannity's question. The Hill reported that a spokesman for the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, J. Russell George, said they were asked by Issa "to narrowly focus on Tea Party organizations":
The inspector general's audit found that groups seeking tax-exempt status with "Tea Party" and "patriots" in their name did receive extra attention from the IRS, with some facing years of delay and inappropriate questions from the agency.
But top congressional Democrats have wielded new information from the IRS this week that liberal groups were also flagged for extra attention on the sorts of "be on the lookout" lists (BOLOs) that also tripped up conservative groups.
The spokesman for the Treasury inspector general noted their audit acknowledged there were other watch lists. But the spokesman added: "We did not review the use, disposition, purpose or content of the other BOLOs. That was outside the scope of our audit."
Prior to this report, Issa had leaked incomplete transcripts that were used by right-wing media to suggest that the IRS' use of improper criteria for determining which groups requesting tax-exempt status required additional scrutiny was directed by officials in Washington D.C., and potentially by White House officials. Other transcripts released later debunked this claim.
Furthermore, as a June 26 Associated Press article reported, progressive groups have claimed that they received scrutiny from the IRS, resulting in long delays in their being granted tax-exempt status. James Salt, a spokesman for the progressive Catholics United went so far as to claim the IRS asked the organization nonsensical, "weird" questions. A June 25 Wall Street Journal article similarly reported delays in tax-exempt status assessment for progressive groups: "Maryann Martindale, executive director of Alliance for a Better Utah, said her "progressive" group has been waiting almost two years for IRS action on an application for tax exemption from one of its entities."
Prior to this revelation, a manager of the Cincinnati IRS office responsible for the assessment of tax-exempt status requests, and self-described "conservative Republican" John Shafer told congressional investigators that neither he nor his office "never discussed any political, personal aspirations whatsoever."
Despite all the evidence to the contrary, during the June 25 Hannity segment Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin went on to accuse the White House of orchestrating the IRS' targeting, saying: "All roads lead to Washington D.C. and all fingers, at some point, will lead straight to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."
Right-wing media have urged Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to abandon comprehensive immigration reform efforts in their continued effort to thwart the Senate's attempt to overhaul the nation's immigration system.
After President Obama named former U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as his new national security advisor, right-wing media figures called the appointment a "slap in the face," a "middle finger," and an "eff you" to Americans.
Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin joined the chorus of right-wing voices fearmongering about health care officials, known as "navigators," which have been used by previous administrations to inform consumers about health care options.
In her syndicated column, Malkin attacked the health care navigators, people employed by the government to assist Americans in understanding their options under the health care reform law. Malkin claimed the navigators would be "yet another Obama threat to Americans' privacy," saying Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has a "sordid snooping history" and concluding "you can't trust sleazy Sebelius to navigate anything with her broken ethical compass." Malkin's column was highlighted by Fox Nation:
But the health care navigator program existed before President Obama's Affordable Care Act. Sara Rosenbaum, writing at the George Washington University's HealthReformGPS blog, pointed out that the program is modeled after the State Health Insurance Assistance Program, which has been used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to inform Medicare beneficiaries about programs like prescription drug benefits and Medicaid Advantage programs. Health care expert Timothy Jost questioned the controversy over the program, writing:
The Affordable Care Act's navigator program was modeled after the successful State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) which has offered assistance to Medicare beneficiaries trying to figure out the complexities of Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan offerings. The original concept of the ACA navigator program was that exchanges would give grants to community and small business organizations to educate and provide unbiased information to individuals and small employers to help them navigate the new health insurance marketplace and enroll in health insurance plans. Navigators will be particularly helpful to millions of uninsured Americans who will be purchasing health insurance on their own for the first time and who will be eligible either for Medicaid or for premium assistance tax credits. Many of these consumers will be unfamiliar with health insurance or not literate in English.
In addition, according to proposed regulations and contrary to Malkin's privacy claims, the navigators will undergo training in order to guarantee personal information is kept confidential:
The Exchange regulations, at 45 CFR § 155.260(a), establish privacy and security standards for Exchanges, and § 155.260(b) provides that Exchanges must require Navigators and other non-Exchange entities to abide by the same or more stringent privacy and security standards as a condition of contract or agreement with such entities. Consistent with these requirements, we propose that the training for Navigators and non-Navigator assistance personnel must include training designed to ensure that they safeguard consumers' sensitive personal information including but not limited to health information, income and tax information, and Social Security number.
Malkin is not the first right-wing media figure to fearmonger about health care navigators. Rush Limbaugh claimed that navigators will register voters as Democrats and "smear Republicans," adding "it doesn't say that, I just know what this is." Fox News host Megyn Kelly claimed the program could "allow these jobs of the navigators to be filled by organizations with political agendas, including unions and community action groups."
Fox News personalities have seized on the brutal killing of a soldier in London to rail against immigration, claiming that immigration policies are partly to blame for the attacks. Conservative media figures similarly used the Boston bombing to condemn immigration and undermine immigration reform.
Right-wing media figures are attacking President Obama over his decision to lift a moratorium on a Guantánamo Bay detainee transfer to Yemen -- a decision that has earned the praise of a former top Navy judge and is an important step toward closing the detention facility, which experts agree is necessary.
On May 23, Obama announced that he is lifting his ban on the transfer of detainees from the Guantánamo Bay detention center to Yemen. That ban was put in place following the failed Christmas Day 2009 bombing attempt on a U.S. airliner. The convicted bomber involved in the attempt trained in Yemen.
Right-wing media figures seized on the news to attack Obama. Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin warned that transfers are "a surefire recipe for more Benghazis, more U.S.S. Coles and more innocent lives at risk":
Gird your loins, America. President Obama intends to empty out Guantanamo Bay and send scores of suspected Muslim terror operatives back to their jihadist-coddling native countries. Goaded by anti-war activists and soft-on-terror attorneys (including those from Attorney General Eric Holder's former private law firm), Obama announced Thursday that he'll lift a ban on sending up to 90 Yemeni detainees home and will initiate other stalled transfers out of the compound.
This radical appeasement of Obama's left flank is a surefire recipe for more Benghazis, more U.S.S. Coles and more innocent lives at risk.
On the May 24 edition of The Laura Ingraham Show, host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham touted Malkin's "terrific piece" and criticized Obama's lifting of the ban as nothing more than an "attempt to look like you're serious."
As Reuters reported, repatriating prisoners to Yemen is one of multiple steps Obama announced to move toward closing Guantánamo -- something experts agree must be done.
Fox News figures scapegoated Islam and promoted Islamophobia following an attack in London reportedly perpetrated by radical extremists which has been denounced by Muslim organizations in Britain.
From the May 22 edition of Fox News' Hannity:

At least six Fox News contributors have reportedly signed on to an open letter opposing the comprehensive immigration reform legislation currently being debated in the Senate. Fox News, which has admitted it is the "voice of opposition" on certain issues, has long ignored and even fostered such unethical behavior from its personalities.
According to Yahoo! News, conservative radio hosts, along with tea party and other conservative groups, have signed a letter opposing the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, a proposal from a bipartisan group of senators to reform immigration law. Among the "National Conservative Leaders" who have reportedly signed the letter are six current Fox News contributors:
However, their affiliation with Fox News was not mentioned in the letter.
Radio hosts Mark Levin and Lars Larson, who also signed the letter, are regular Fox News guests as well. Daily Beast editor and CNN contributor David Frum also signed the letter.
The letter expresses "serious concerns" with the bill and urges Senators to vote against it:
We oppose this bill and urge you to vote against it when it comes to the Senate floor. No matter how well intentioned, the Schumer-Rubio bill suffers from fundamental design flaws that make it unsalvageable. Many of us support various parts of the legislation, but the overall package is so unsatisfactory that the Senate would do better to start over from scratch.
Reforming our immigration system is an important priority. But S.744 is such a defective measure that it would do more harm than good. We urge you to vote against it and against any cloture vote to bring up the bill. Only then can a constructive, measured debate take place on how to improve America's immigration policy.
The letter also repeats some common myths about immigration, including the debunked notion that granting undocumented immigrants legal status "[h]urts American job-seekers, especially those with less education." The letter also compares the Senate immigration bill to the health care law, calling it "bloated and unwieldy."
Fox News has been criticized for unethical behavior in the past and for operating like a political organization. In fact, Crowley crossed the ethical line during the 2012 presidential election when she spoke at an anti-Obama rally sponsored by the Koch-funded conservative advocacy group, Americans for Prosperity.
Fox News has long styled itself as an anti-immigrant network even as it purports to reach out to Latino viewers. Rush Limbaugh, for example, stated in January that it's "up to me and Fox News" to defeat immigration reform. As Yahoo! News noted however, Limbaugh was "notably absent" from the list of signatories.
Late Friday, after the Heritage Foundation reportedly considered seeking the counsel of an outside PR firm to deal with damage to their brand, researcher Jason Richwine, who coauthored the deeply flawed immigration report pushed by the right-wing think tank, resigned his position.
His error seemingly had nothing to do with the poor quality of that document, exemplified by the bipartisan, panideological critiques of the study, as his coauthor Robert Rector is seemingly still employed at Heritage.
Richwine's offense seems to have taken place in 2009 when he offered up a doctoral dissertation arguing, as The Washington Post's Dylan Matthews wrote, that due to the "deep-set differentials in intelligence between races," Richwine wrote that Hispanic immigrants may never "reach IQ parity with whites." His interest in the linkage between race and IQ was not unknown. Richwine also spoke about that linkage on a 2008 panel at the American Enterprise Institute promoting Mark Krikorian's book The New Case Against Immigration: Both Legal and Illegal. It was on this panel Richwine proclaimed "Race is different in all sorts of ways, and probably the most important way is in IQ."
The year of his dissertation defense his work was cited in a New York Times "Idea of the Day" column focusing on Robert Putnam's controversial finding that "ethnic diversity isn't an unqualified good."
There is no plausible way Heritage was unaware of Richwine's beliefs when they hired him, as he has made no attempts to obscure them. Heritage distanced itself from the dissertation after it came to public light, but it's completely unimaginable for a recent Ph.D to be hired by a major think tank without inquiry into such a crucial facet of their past research. These views are flawed -- they are misguided -- they are not grounded in research -- but they were not a secret.
And why should they be? The Bell Curve author and AEI scholar Charles Murray has made a successful career at conservative think tanks evangelizing the flawed notion that differences in IQ among racial groups should drive public policy decisions, ignoring the underlying reasons for the disparity and dismissing research demonstrating IQ and outcome are not linked.
Murray stood up for his ideological protégé following the latter's resignation, tweeting "Thank God I was working for Chris DeMuth and AEI, not Jim DeMint and Heritage, when The Bell Curve was published. Integrity. Loyalty. Balls."
The paleoconservative mindset is no longer as central to the conservative movement as it once was. Yet Pat Buchanan's removal from his permanent post on the couch in the MSNBC greenroom has not excised these ideas from the conservative movement.
Richwine's resignation allows him to become a scapegoat for an ideology that is still perfectly acceptable inside the conservative movement and the right-wing media. If Richwine's focus on the IQs of Hispanic populations is unacceptable, then so is Charles Murray's focus on the African American community. So are those of the godfather of the entire anti-immigrant movement John Tanton, who "wrote a paper titled The Case for Passive Eugenics."
Rush Limbaugh defended Richwine's racial tests on his program, proclaiming: "So, now it's trash the messenger time." He went on to say "You're not suppose to bring that kind of stuff up. You're not supposed to talk about it. It's not politically correct, even if it's true. You're not supposed to bring it up."
Michelle Malkin attacked those who dare point to the fundamentally racist nature of Richwine's dissertation. writing at Townhall.com: "The smug dismissal of Richwine's credentials and scholarship is to be expected by liberal hacks and clown operatives."
Richwine resigned after doing the job he was hired to do and for views his employer must have known him to hold. He was the most junior member of the group of conservative researchers who have spent their careers producing questionable studies about race. And because he was the lowest in the hierarchy he was the easiest to cast aside.
Charles Murray is right. This move lacked integrity, for that would require a widespread condemnation of the flawed racial theories peddled in the conservative movement and the "respected" think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute that allow them to flourish. I doubt that is forthcoming, making Heritage's decision to accept Jason Richwine's resignation an act of craven political cowardice.
Fox News and other conservatives are busy attacking Attorney General Eric Holder for assuring the public that law enforcement will not tolerate any acts of violence or discrimination in the wake of the Boston Marathon terror attack. But their latest feigned outrage ignores that hate crimes against Muslims are a very real concern.
Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly covered the story on the April 30 edition of America Live, hosting Fox contributor Michelle Malkin, who mocked the "phantom threats of hate crime epidemics that have never happened." (This was the second straight day Kelly had devoted a segment to expressing outrage about Holder's common sense comments.)
Other conservatives lashed out at Holder for his vow to defend religious minorities in America.
Fox's weird attempt to push back against Holder's pledge fit nicely into Fox's frequently anti-Muslim programming. It also highlighted how little interest Fox has in the larger issue of anti-Muslim violence.
I noted last week how Fox News remains largely blind to acts of right-wing extremist terror and political violence because that storyline doesn't fit into the cable channel's preferred narrative about Muslim terrorists, or Fox's eagerness to assign collective blame onto the Muslim-American community.
And when it comes to Muslim houses of worship, Fox's main concern in recent years has been to demonize those trying to build new Islamic centers in the U.S., and also how to bug them. That lack of attention and concern may explain the network's outraged response to Holder's comments. There is clearly cause for concern, though.
Conservative media focused their Earth Day coverage on the crime and trial of environmental activist Ira Einhorn -- convicted of murdering his girlfriend -- while pushing the unsubstantiated smear that he founded the holiday. Sensationalizing Einhorn's murder conviction distracted from the holiday's purpose and the true founder of Earth Day -- former Wisconsin governor and United States senator Gaylord Nelson (D), a passionate environmental advocate who was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award for his work.
Celebrated on April 22, 1970, the original Earth Day marked the beginning of the environmental movement and, as CBS noted, came "at a time when pollution was rampant and regulation was not commonplace." The popular support Earth Day helped engender led to the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act.
The conservative smear machine used Earth Day 2013 to push articles claiming the holiday was established by Einhorn, an environmental activist who later became known as the "Unicorn Killer," after being found guilty of murdering his girlfriend, Holly Maddux.
The Daily Caller headlined its Earth Day recognition piece, "Earth Day co-founder killed, 'composted' his ex-girlfriend." Buried in the Caller's last paragraph of the article was Earth Day's purpose and that "most activists credit Wisconsin Sen. Gaylord Nelson" as the holiday's progenitor. Michelle Malkin referred to Einhorn as an "Earth Day co-founder" in a column she re-published from 2001, labeling him "[a] grisly Earth Day reminder." And Limbaugh weighed in as well, acknowledging Earth Day by saying, "Ira Einhorn, co-founder, Earth Day, convicted murderer" was being "celebrated today by environmental wackos because this is Earth Day."
Right-wing media have a long history of leveling charges of anti-white bias at President Obama's nominees and appointees of color, smears that have now formed the basis of Republican attacks on Labor Secretary nominee Thomas E. Perez.
Fox News is now acknowledging that Tesla Motors is a "success story," but only a year ago the network declared the company "failed." This distortion played into its attempts to boost then-presidential nominee Mitt Romney's claim that President Barack Obama only "pick[s] the losers."
Discussing the Obama administration's investments in green technology, Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett recently stated that Tesla is a "success story," and Fox Business anchor Lou Dobbs acknowledged on Monday night that it is one of the "winners." Tesla recently announced that it made a profit in the first quarter of 2013 after exceeding sales goals for its electric sedan, and the company plans on paying back its Department of Energy loan guarantee five years early.
But an oft-aired Fox News graphic previously listed Tesla as "failed," a claim that Romney later echoed. In fact, several of the companies that Fox News declared "failed" are still successfully operating (circled in green), and contributing to technological advances that could help us transition to a clean energy economy, as can be seen in this interactive graphic created with ThingLink:
The companies circled in yellow did not actually receive any funds from the loan guarantee programs, instead receiving either grants, tax credits, or no federal funds at all. Nevada Geothermal Power's project, at far left and not circled in the graphic above, is still operating and part of the 87 percent of loan guarantee funds under the 1705 program awarded to projects that experts say pose almost no risk to the taxpayer. By lumping all of these programs together from the more than 1,460 companies that have received such awards, Fox News was able to paint a distorted picture of the Obama administration's energy policies.

How can I keep my mom out of the delivery room?
My mother doesn't really approve of my wonderful husband, and he feels uncomfortable around her. She wants to be in the delivery room for the birth of our baby, but I know my husband would rather she wasn't. I love my husband and want this to be our special event. How do I tell my mom that we'd like to be alone for the delivery?

I have a similar problem with my mother-in-law. My mom had a terrrible labor with me and since this is the only child I plan to have, I wanted to include her. She has been to all my appointments (which was a blessing when my hubby couldn't be there) and is planning on being in the delivery room. I am very close to her and would like the emotional support she can offer us. My mother-in-law is a different story: everything has to be about her. I informed my dr of our wishes that only my mom and us to be allowed in the room and he agreed to keep all others out unless I tell him otherwise. My problems lies in the fact that we have a lot of animals and are having a teenager do our chores while I am giving birth and recouping. His mom is friends with my mother-in-law so I am afraid when we call to tell him its time for him to feed the animals, his mom will call her (I am to be induced on Monday so our choices are to call him now and let him know and risk my mother-in-law finding out ahead of time or wait until last minute which I find rude). But, if that does happen, I am confident she won't be allowed in with us. I am just hoping hubby doesn't run into her because they don't get along, and I need his help, not him consentrating on his mother. I hope all goes well for you ladies and any suggestions on when to let our 'helper' know would be appreciated.posted 01/06/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree to be honest, but sometimes a little fib doesn't hurt. My mother wants to be present at my delivery. She is a drama queen and is just as controlling as I am. So the two of us don't mix well in situations like this one. I told my mother that I would like for both of her and my father to be there, but that I would be just too uncomfortable for my father to see me up in stirrups. And that it is not fair that I allow her in the delivery and not him. So problem solved, she won't be in there. She did at one point make a comment of "Who will take over when he(spouse) needs a break?" I told her "If I don't get a break, he doesn't get a break."posted 12/27/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm in the exact situation. My parents don't approve of my SO, and he doesn't really want to be around them very much. My mother will NOT be in my delivery room. If she asks that is exactly what I'm going to tell her. It's just going to be me and DH. I am going to make sure the doctors and nurses know that the only person welcome is DH!!posted 11/09/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
It is only up to the mother and father of the baby. Your mother was not there when the child was concieved, so why should she be there when he/she is born? That's my opinion. It's between us. They can be in thw waiting room then come right in, but i want a few minutes with my hubby and brand new baby. Our parents HAD thier kids, now it's our turn. It's hard to be brave and say what you want, but this baby is only going to be born once, if you want it done your way you have every right say so politely to your mom. She might get mad/hurt but after she holds the baby she will be fine.posted 11/03/2005 by Child#4?
You know I sit here reading all these replies and I can relate to alot of them. With my son my mom and my sister were there. My sister was my coach and my mom was a nusince. She let everyone and anyone into the room on top of kicking out my sons dad. Which totally ticked me off. No I am 38 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby and when I told her that it was only going to be my husband and my sister in the delivery room she freaked. But we just found out that we have to have a c-section so things worked out. But to be honest just tell ur mom or mother in law the truth on how you feel. I know it may be hard but you have to be honest with them or they will think that they can run the show.posted 10/05/2005 by devonsmom1221
Dana...he'll get over it...posted 09/30/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Dana, don't call anyone until the baby is born including your possibly sneaky sister. Just enjoy the time to yourself with your babies Daddy...posted 09/30/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first child and I have made it completely clear that no one except my dh will be in the room when I am delivering. Laboring maybe but not delivering! I don't want the whole world seeing me half naked! I know that my MIL will be horrible about trying to be there, but I will make it perfectly clear to all nurses and hospital staff that they need to keep her and everyone else away. If we don't stand up to these people now it may be harder the next time around!posted 09/26/2005 by ennalehcar
I didn't want my mom to "join" us either. We are fairly close, so I just told her I didn't want her there and that I wanted it to be our special thing. She cried and was pretty upset at first. She got over it after a while and I explained to her again why we didn't want her there and she was fine with it.posted 09/26/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Seems to me that if anyone has a troubled relationship with mom, then labour will only bring out these tensions. The reason you may not want your mom there is because, even at normal times, there are problems, never mind when you are giving birth. My mom is very controlling when it comes to babies. I asked her to be there for the labour but not the delivery, and she let her resentment show plainly. After the birth, she was disgusted that my husband was around when I breastfed. She thinks men are no good around babies, and that womens bodies should not be on display for them. How does she think the baby got inside me in the first place, ha ha??? We didnt let our feelings show, but she hurt us by making everything about herself, and trying to drive us apart when we should have been together. Every night that she stayed with us, I went to bed and cried myself to sleep after a whole day of enduring her criticisms. I have not asked anyone to be with us the second time. We have no family around us and dont care. Anything is better than what we went through the first time.posted 09/25/2005 by noname6

Attempted to kill Sami (circa 1998)
Blackmailed Vivian Alamain into helping him find Sami to bring her home to stop Austin and Carrie's wedding (circa 1995)
Military school cadet and resident playboy, Lucas Roberts was first introduced making love to a rock star. That romance fizzled pretty quickly. He then moved to Salem where he met Sami Brady. However, he ended up falling in love with her half-sister, Carrie, who was dating Austin Reed, who would later turn out to be his half-brother.
Lucas and Sami quickly formed a friendship and became partners in many schemes. He agreed to help break up Austin and Carrie so Sami could get Austin and make her half sister's life miserable. Because Lucas agreed to help Sami, she would help him find out who his real father was. Kate had said he was a successful military man and graduate of West Point Academy. He knew she was lying. However, while they plotted, he introduced Sami to his friend, Alan Harris, who ended up raping Sami.
Soon, it was revealed that Bill Horton was Lucas' father. Feeling very betrayed and let down, he pushed his mother away. In the process, Lucas had gained a lot of family in the form of the Hortons. In a moment when they're guard was down, Lucas and Sami made love when some boys taunted her about the rape. Their son was conceived that random night in early 1995.
Soon after that, Billie Reed was put on trial for Curtis Reed's murder. Within that case, Kate found out that her supposedly dead children were alive, and none other than Billie and Austin. Lucas went from the center of his mother's attention to having two siblings he could not stand. He became even bitterer towards Austin, who held Carrie's affections. Lucas desperately wanted Carrie to love him, but she did not return his feelings.
Sami had William Robert Reed in November of 1995. Instinctively, Lucas became very attached to his "nephew," much to the dismay of Sami, who had discovered that Lucas was in fact her child's father. She tried to change the paternity tests to make it appear Austin was the father. Initially, that worked, but the truth was eventually revealed in 1997.
Immediately following the paternity bombshell, Lucas wanted custody of his son. However, Sami was the obstacle in that, claiming that Lucas abused his son, and she saw it. In reality, Will had accidentally fallen which caused a bruise. Sami got a restraining order against him, and gave custody of Will to Austin when she was sent to jail for Franco Kelly's murder. In reality, Franco was about to attack Kate with a fire poker because she was threatening to turn him into a mafia family he had crossed when Lucas rushed in and shot him. Although justified because he was saving his mother, Kate forced Lucas to flee and framed Sami for the murder.
Later, in a drunken rage, Lucas kidnapped Will and met with a car accident. Will had to have brain surgery as a result, but eventually recovered. As damage control, Kate paid Nicole Walker five million dollars to marry Lucas in order for him to gain custody of Will while Sami was in jail. Lucas and Nicole wed in 1999. However, the guilt became too much for Lucas and he confessed just as Sami was about to be executed. Eventually, he was cleared as well, but once freed from prison Sami became determined to get custody of her son at all costs and even teamed up with Nicole to make that happen.
For the longest time Lucas had custody of Will, until Sami got proof that Lucas killed Franco. She used that information to blackmail Lucas, but it was Kate who forced Lucas to give up custody of his son. Losing Will absolutely destroyed Lucas, and threw him back into the bottle. While drunk one night in 2001, Lucas was caught in the fire that Kate set to kill Victor, and almost died. After spending months recuperating in a special hospital and then in rehabilitation, Lucas returned to Salem in 2002, more determined than ever to hurt Sami.
Lucas soon got a job working with the evil Andre DiMera (who was posing as his cousin Tony). When he got proof that Sami switched the paternity results on Lexie's baby, he used that to break up Brandon and Sami only moments after they tied the knot. He and Tony were celebrating at the DiMera mansion when Sami burst in, and in the ensuing scuffle, Sami ended up going through the glass doors. Sami was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and Lucas went to a bar to drown his sorrows, allowing himself for the first time in years to remember the friendship he and Sami once shared as he waited to hear if she was going to live or die.
Lucas took care of Sami after she was released, often against her wishes. But as they spent more time together, Lucas found his heart softening towards his once-worst-enemy. They two rebounded as friends and eventually shared some kisses. When Sami's father Roman was murdered, Lucas was there to comfort her. However, Lucas treaded lightly. He didn't want Will to get his hopes up that his parents would get together, because he still hadn't completely forgiven Sami.
Lucas finally stopped fighting the way he felt and admitted that he was in love with Sami. But after seeing her cozying up to the new Assistant D.A. in town, Ray Diaz, he decided to torture her by getting involved with Manda. It didn't last long, because Lucas couldn't fight the way he felt about Sami, and after closing the door on Manda, he proposed to Sami in 2004. Unfortunately, it wasn't the most romantic proposal, so she turned him down flat. Lucas then went all out -- he treated her to a night at the Penthouse Grille, complete with a song from his heart, and was thrilled when she said yes. The two began looking forward to their future together, but after Lucas caught Sami in bed with Brandon on the eve of their wedding in 2005, he broke things off, despite Sami's insistence that she was innocent and that Kate framed her.
Sami eventually managed to prove her innocence, and she and Lucas again headed to the altar in the fall of 2005. However, Kate interrupted the nuptials with the news that Sami had posed as "Stan" for a number of weeks and had been responsible for several crimes in Salem, including knowledge of Philip's kidnapping. Lucas immediately cut her out of his life again, as did Will. After Austin helped clear Sami, she began moving on with him.
By 2006, Lucas was moving on too and married Carrie, who had told him that she was pregnant. Lucas was upset when he learned that Carrie wasn't really pregnant and possibly never could be, but was determined to stand by her -- until he found her sleeping with Austin. He quickly had their marriage annulled. Carrie then married Austin and left town, and Lucas was left alone. But before long, he and Sami finally reconnected and began a future together again. They became engaged to be married, and when Lucas learned Sami was expecting, he was thrilled.
Sami and Lucas wed in 2007, but Lucas' happiness was soon shattered. After the wedding, he learned that E.J. Wells had forced Sami into having sex with him in order to save Lucas' life when he was trapped by a beam during a snowstorm. Lucas had to face the fact "their" twins could belong to E.J. A paternity test proved E.J. to be the father, but a second test proved that Lucas was the father.
Unfortunately, around the same time, the DiMeras also made the terms for ending the vendetta against the Bradys very clear -- Sami was to divorce Lucas an marry E.J. Those conditions devastated both Lucas and Sami, but she ultimately chose to accept them. Lucas was there to see Sami give birth to the twins in October of 2007, but they quickly realized that the two did not look like each other. The male twin, Johnny, turned out to belong to E.J. while the female, Ali, tuned out to be Lucas'. Sadly, when the twins were only days old, Sami and Lucas ended their marriage so that she could marry E.J.
On Sami and E.J.'s wedding day, Lucas brought a gun to the church and shot E.J. in the back. After trying to hide evidence, Lucas eventually turned himself in and pled guilty to attempted murder. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. A few months later, in 2008, Lucas became eligible for parole and moved into the DiMera mansion as terms of his house arrest. (With Stefano in a coma, John was now the head of the DiMera household. John, Marlena, Sami, E.J., Johnny, and Ali all lived in the mansion)
However, upon being released under the term of the house arrest, Lucas found Sami and E.J. in bed together and was crushed. While he had to remain in the DiMera mansion, he schemed to get E.J. to move out. Still undecided about his feelings for a future with Sami, Lucas started a friendship with Chloe Lane.
Frustrated, Lucas removed his ankle monitor and snuck out of the DiMera mansion to meet Chloe. Together, they learned that Philip was being framed for setting John's warehouse on fire. Lucas actually witnessed Paul Hollingsworth running from the crime scene, but he could not go to the police with the information because he should have been home serving his house arrest. In order to help Philip, Chloe took Lucas's testimony to the police and passed it off as her own. Lucas and Chloe became lovers when a blackout trapped them in an elevator together during the summer of 2008. After the power was resorted, the police arrested Lucas for breaking house arrest again and he was sent back to prison. Chloe felt responsible and tried to apologize to Lucas, but he assured her it wasn't her fault.
Faced with the possibility of 10+ years in prison, Lucas struck a deal with the Feds. In exchange for a commuted sentence, Lucas agreed to go undercover in a maximum security prison to get inside information on drug trafficking in Salem. Lucas was successful in getting the information, but when his cover was blown the prisoners beat him so bad that Lucas ended up in the hospital. This experience caused Lucas to take another look at his life. He told Sami that they needed to spend some time apart and that their relationship was too much for him to handle. Then, he told Chloe that he was glad to see her when he woke up. Maggie gave Lucas the keys to the Horton cabin on Smith Island where he headed to spend some time clearing his head.
Lucas took the opportunity over the next few months to establish himself on his own. He took a job from Philip at Titan. He spent time with Chloe. And, he worked to form a relationship with his daughter, Ali. One day when he went to pick up Ali at the DiMera mansion, he found Sami collapsed on the floor. He rushed Sami to the hospital where she learned that she was pregnant. Lucas realized that Sami was pregnant from the night she spent with E.J.. He urged Sami to tell E.J. the truth. Sami refused and even though he did not agree with her, Lucas kept Sami's secret.
Meanwhile, Lucas continued to bond with Chloe. She supported Lucas through Kate's battle with cancer. He proposed to Chloe in November of 2008, but they waited to announce their engagement until Kate's condition improved. Chloe tested positive for a bone marrow match for Kate and donated bone marrow to save Kate's life. During the transplant, Chloe became attracted to Dr. Daniel Jonas, Kate's on-again/off-again lover, but fought off the attraction because of her engagement to Lucas. But soon Chloe started having an affair with Daniel.
When Chloe eventually broke up with Lucas, he was crushed. However, Chloe didn't tell him about Daniel. Yet that didn't stop Lucas from drowning his sorrows in liquor. Maggie found Lucas at the Cheatin' Heart and tried to get him to stop drinking. She also told Lucas about Chloe and Daniel. Enraged (and drunk), Lucas went to confront them, but was badly injured in a gas explosion at Daniel's apartment. As a result of the trauma, Lucas forgot everything that happened when he was drunk. Chloe, filled with guilt, asked Lucas for a second chance and he took her back. A few days after he and Chloe eloped to Las Vegas.
In the spring of 2009, Lucas and Chloe returned from Vegas to start their life together. Lucas was determined to make this marriage work. He did everything he could, but their marriage was doomed from the beginning since Chloe was not honest with Lucas about her feelings for Daniel.
Chloe and Daniel stole little moments together and it wasn't long before Kate caught them together. She set out to get revenge on Chloe for hurting Lucas (and Daniel for hurting Kate). Kate poisoned Chloe and framed Daniel for the crime. When Daniel emerged as a suspect, Lucas learned that Daniel's motive was the fact that Daniel was a scorned lover. Lucas sat by Chloe's bedside, but was heartbroken when she woke up and announced that she loved Daniel and wanted to be with him. As a result, Lucas started drinking again. Maggie, Will, and Sami intervened and convinced Lucas to check into rehab. Before he left, he served Chloe with annulment papers.
Months later, Lucas had returned from rehab and began to make amends with his loved ones, including Maggie whom he blamed for keeping the truth from him. Although still harboring bitter feelings towards her, he also tried to forgive Chloe. However, Lucas' road to recovery would be a long one and he became focused on rebuilding his life, including his career as a business man.
Lucas was last seen on-screen shortly after Philip's Valentine's Day wedding to Melanie Layton in 2010. Two months later it was revealed that Lucas had moved to China on Hearth and Home business. Ali eventually went to stay with Lucas for several months, but they both returned to Salem in June when Alice fell ill. Sadly, Alice passed away a short time later, but Lucas was there to mourn with his loved ones.
In February 2012, Sami called Lucas to get his help with Will. Lucas left his fiance, Autumn, in Hong Kong returned to Salem for a visit to Salem and tried to be there for his son, who was going through some tough times. But, Lucas soon learned that Sami needed his help as well. Lucas and Autum broke up and Sami and Lucas rekindeled their romance.
However, their romance was short-lived, as in the summer of 2012, Sami went on the run with E.J., who was trying to escape being framed for murder charges. When Sami returned, Lucas was hurt. But the two settled into their role as co-parents and, eventually, friends.
They focused on Will, who had recently come out and was also supporting his ex-girlfriend Gabi as she married Nick Fallon. Gabi was pregnant with Will's baby, but had agreed to let Nick raise the child as his. However, Nick was worried that his plan to keep gay Will out of the baby's life was in jeopardy. So Nick hatched a plan. He had overheard Lucas scream at Will, "I went to jail for you!" Nick began investigating why Lucas had been in prison. Nick also planted a transmitting and recording device on Will, then sent a text to Lucas prompting the two to have a conversation where Nick found out that Will was the one who shot E.J. in 2007 and the police still had evidence of it in their evidence room.
Nick had papers drawn up for Will to sign that would release all parental rights to Gabi's baby and just waited for the right time. That time came when Gabi started having labor pains while talking to Sami. Gabi and the baby were fine, and despite Kayla saying that dehydration contributed to her labor pains, Nick used Sami's temper as an excuse to set his plan into motion.
Nick confronted Will with the deal -- if Will signs away his paternal rights, Nick will stay quiet about Will shooting E.J. Nick also pointed out that turning in Will would mean incriminating Lucas, Roman, Hope, and more in the cover-up. Sonny, E.J., Sami, and Lucas all tried to convince Will not to sign the papers. Sami even offered to sign a document that would forbid her from coming near the baby. But Nick would not agree. Despite protests from Sami, Lucas, E.J., and Sonny, Will reluctantly signed the papers.
But Sami would not accept her son not being a part of his daughter's life. She and E.J. realized that there were two pieces of evidence that they needed to destroy -- Nick's recording and the evidence against Will at the police station. While E.J. worked on the former, Sami focused on the latter.
She enlisted Lucas's help in breaking into the police department to steal the evidence. But, Rafe caught them and threw them out. So, Sami moved onto more desperate measures -- Stefano. Eventually, Stefano was able to make the evidence go away. Will was able to have shared custody of Adrianna.
Sami and Lucas continued their friendship. When Sami and her kids moved to California after E.J.'s death, Lucas flew out to California to visit Allie often.
Back in Salem, Lucas was spending a lot of time with Adrienne, as the two were helping Sonny and Will with Arianna. The two grew close, especially because Justin had been out of town for months. Lucas and Adrienne shared a kiss, but Adrienne stopped it before it could go further. However, once she found out that Justin had been cheating on her, she gave into her feelings for Lucas. The two started a relationship.
But Kate was not so sure about their affair. However, she saw an opportunity. Kate, who had recently been fired from Countess W, let Victor know about the affair. He immediately fired Lucas from Mad World and offered Kate the job. Lucas was furious with his mother. But, Chad soon offered Lucas the job at Countess W. So, Lucas and his mom were business enemies -- a role which Lucas relished. He wasted no time in hiring away Kate's best designer and distributor. He was determined to make Kate sorry she got him fired.
